DO NOT FEEL ACCOUNTABLE Charge Is That Present Officers Do Not Represent Will of People and Do Not Feel Accountable to People for their Actions. SPECIAL TO THE NEW YORK ACADEMY. Pa. Aug. 12—Agitation concerning the cost of the 'Odd Fellows Supreme Court having brought out some interesting figures as to the income of the order during the past four years, much general interest has been excited and many questions are being asked by the rank and file as to what has become of the large amount of money that seems to have been spent. It is pointed out that the Quarterly Circular shows more than $125,000 collected by the grand secretary since the present administration took office in January, 1911, besides which a balance was brought forward of $25,000. Of this total of $160,000, there is said to be in the treasury at this time less than $20,000, showing an expenditure during four years of more than $140,000. Some of the more radical of the questioners are asking "Who got the money?" instead of asking as to its whereabouts. Figures are given by men well posted in Old Fellows affairs to show that it could not have been legitimately spent. It is shown that expenses of the Supreme Court, which was created by Grand Master Morris, have not exceeded $3,100 year year, a total of less than $11,500 for the three and a half years of its existence. A balance of $1,500 on a mortgage held by Mrs. Morris, the grand master's wife, on the headquarters building in Philadelphia has been paid. A balance of $11,500 remains to be accounted for. Does Order Spend $35,000 a Year? It would seem that approximately $5500 a year has been spent, and the questioners are asserting that it is impossible to spend that much legitimately in running the order. In reply to an intimation that the official organ of the order, The Odd Follows Journal, has required financial aid, the statement is made that to use the money of the order for the official organ would be a clear violation of the law. It is declared that the general law distinctly prohibits the use of the money from the order's treasury for the paper. This prohibition is contained in the following clause: "The Sub-Committee of Management shall not appropriate to the Journal or its editor and manager any money to defray the expenses of said Journal; the entire expenses of said Journal shall be defrayed from the receipts of said paper." On the other hand, ask the questioners, if the money has not been spent on the Journal, what has become of it? Opponents of the Morris administration charge that there has been waste, extravagance and mismanagement on the part of the officeholders and they say it has been so apparent that the closest adherents of those in power will not make an effort to explain the reckless expenditure of the people's money. It is openly declared that Edward H. Morris is holding the office of grand master, not by the will of the people, but because he thwarted that will in Atlanta, Ga., and that holding over with him are those who manage the financial affairs of the order, and that they do not regard themselves as accountable to the lodges whose money, it is said, has been wasted TUSKEGEE GIVEN $200 BY MOSAIC TEMPLARS Special to The New York Age Linus Rock, Ark., Aug. 11.—The Mosaic Templars of America at their recent meeting held at Tuskegee Institute.

BISHOP CLINTON CALLS TRIAL OF BOLDEN APPEAI Triers of Appeals To Sit on Case at New Berne, N.C., Friday, August 14 WillRepresent the Rev. R.M. Bolden in Appeal from Action of New York Conference-Confident That Bolden Will Be Exonerated. Special to The New York Acq. NEW BERNE, N. C. Aug. 12.-The Conneciscoe Council and Semi-Centennial, to be held here August 9 to 17, has been given additional interest by reason of the fact that the Rev. George W. Clinton, bishop of the Fourth Episcopal district, has appointed the Triers of Appeals to sit at 9.30 a.m., Friday, August 14, to hear the appeal of the Rev. 'R. M. Holden of New York, through his counsel, the Rev. E. M. Jacobs of Brooklyn, from the recent action of the New York Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church in its annual session at Mt. Vernon, N. Y. Bishop Clinton Calls Hearing of Appeal. Bishop Clinton has issued the following order: The Triers of Appeals appointed according to our Book of Discipline for the New York, North Carolina and Western North Carolina conferences are hereby notified to悬挂 at Clinton Chapel Church, Newborn, N. C., at 8:30 a.m., Fri. and Sat. 10:00 a.m., and not upon the appeal of the Rev. R. M. Bolden formerly a member of the New York Conference, who, through this counsel, the Rev. Dr. F. M. Jacobs, has requested me to call a court of the Triers of Appeals to consider the matters opened in this case are requested to be present. Brethren do not call to be present as requested. In this notice. Yours fraternally, GEO. W. CLINTON Bishop of the 4th Episcopal List. Dr. F. M. Jacobs, counsel for the Rev. Mr. Bolden, informs THE ACE that the Triers of Appeals is composed of three members from each of the three conferences specified by the bishop. According to the best information obtainable, the representatives of the New York conference will be the Revs. J. T. Matthews, G. W. Johnson and R. C. C. Jones. The names of members from the North Carolina and Western North Carolina Conferences are not as yet available. Dr. Jacobs left the city for New Bern on Tuesday night, and the Rev. Mr. Bolden is to leave Thursday. Confidence in the reversal of the action of the conference, which expelled Mr. Bolden from the convention on charges of alleged insubordination and actions against the peace of the church, is expressed by his counsel. The claim is that the church was a law enforcement sanction of law or custom, and that the charrers were not founded on fact. A complete denial of the charges has been entered and it is claimed also that THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1914 (3) T Mr. Bolden was not given the right of a fair trial. 'He was not allowed time to summon witnesses, nor sufficient time to procure counsel.' Bolden Claims a Conspiracy. The Rev. Mr Bolden has contended all along that he is the victim of a conspiracy conceived and executed by certain high officials of the connection, one of the number being a distinguished prelate. He claims that certain ingrigated moral lapses committed came to his knowledge and because he would not condone or cover these things the guilty persons sought to impair or destroy his usefulness in the church, and to kill his influence if possible. It is not thought that this phase of the matter will be brought out in the hearing of the appeal at New Bern, as only the action of the New York conference is to be under consideration, but a failure to receive a fair and square deal may lead to further developments in the matter. And if this is done, it may mean the unfrocking of some head of the church. IMPORTANT SESSION OF NATL BUS. LEAGUE Special to Tul. New York, Acr. Interesting events during the session will be the industrial parade on Thursday, August 20, with floats representing all lines of Negro business and industry; the opening on Wednesday at Convention Hall; the Washington founder father's president for fifteen years, will deliver his annual address; banquet to delegates Friday evening; and on Saturday the delegates will leave in a special train to visit folio, Okla., the largest and most prosperous Negro city in the world.

Arlington Johnson, the president of Hialeah are in charge of the jungle headquarters, Carter Building, and will make arrangements for all delegates who give notice of their coming. WASHINGTON MASONS ASK FOR A RECEIVER WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 11.—Application for a receiver for the colored Masonic Hall Building Association was filed Friday, August 7, in the District Supreme Court by Osherson 'T. Taylor and Leonard 'C. Bailey. Through Attorney R. R. Honer, the plaintiffs say they are stockholders of the corporation, whose charter expired July 5, 1913. They declare that three trustees of the association one month later attempted to reincorporate and have taken over the property of the alleged dead corporation, and decline to account to the stockholders of the old concern. M. THE WEEKLY PRESS FREEDMEN'S BANK WILL PAY FINAL DIVIDEND Small Visible Assets Will Soon Be Collected and Affairs of Bank Wound Up LOTS IN SOUTH CAROLINA Sold on Installment Plan by Defunct Organization and Balance Due on a Few Unpaid for Will Add Small Sum to Amount in Hand of Commissioner. Special to The New York Age. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 12.—When the Freedmen's Saying and Trust Company went into Liquidation in 1874, among the assets were some fifty or sixty acres of land in Benfurton County, S. C., known as the Old Home subdivision of the Lukens' planation. This was cut up into parcels and sold on the installment plan. The lots were not more than $50 and were to be paid for in installments of $5. Some six or eight of these lots have not been fully paid for, sums varying from $10 up being due on each of them, and thus is the only source of prospective additional assets for depositors of the refunct Freedmen's Bank. John Skelton Williams, controller of the currency of the United States Treasury, is commissioner of the bank and has authority to declare a dividend when it is possible to do so. He announces that the next dividend will probably be the last to be paid, and that it will hardly amount to more than a few cents on the dollar. Four dividends in all have been paid since the first dividend of 20 per cent, was declared in 1875, amounting to 0.2 per cent. There is now in the Treasury about $1,700, and when all the visible assets are realized upon a few more hundreds will be added. The bank had 61,000 depositors when it failed, scattered through thirty-three communities in the South. Until 1868 the surplus funds were invested in United States bonds, but in that year Congress amended the charter so that the corporation could loan money on real estate. It was found after the failure that money had been loaned on real estate listed at greatly inflated values. Many individuals who had never put a cent in the bank filed claims with the commissioners who were put in charge of the liquidation. One of the Beaufort County debtors has just paid up his indebtedness and the controller has issued a deed marking the final payment of the purchase price. CHARLIE TURPIN GETS St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 11.—Charles H. Turpin was renominated for constable in the primaries held here last week. Of nine candidates Constable Turpin received the highest vote.

Tim Brynn, who wrote selections specially for the occasion. The principal speech was made by Counselor J. Frank Wheaton. Mrs. C. Thomas spoke in behalf of the Ladies. Auxiliary. Others who spoke were Counselor E. A. Johnson and L. Hollingsworth Wood. An interesting feature of the exercises was the address by F. H. Elliott, managing secretary of the Safety First Society, which organization is largely responsible for the money wherewith to equip and maintain the playgrounds. Miss Sophie Irene Loch, of the New York World, also spoke. The United States Boy Scouts, under Lieut. Col. Rudolph R. James, policed the grounds. A potato race, hoop race and fifty yard dash was held by the scouts. A competitive drill between Boy and Girl Scouts aroused, much interest. Under the supervision of W. T. R. Richardson, 500 quarts of milk and 750 packages of crackers, secured by John M. Royall, were distributed to the children. Miss Mary Gordon has been secured as assistant at the 136th street playground, and she will devote all her time to the work. All the equipment is in place and the children are enjoying the facilities opened to them. The 138th street plot will be fitted up as a baseball and basketball park, and this will be ready by the last of the week. BESSIE PIKE DIES SUDDENLY, AUGUST 8 Miss Bessie M.

In the apartment at 47 West 139th street where, she and her mother lived. She was discovered laying across the room an unconscious condition her mother had inhaled. Police Officer Samuel Eattles, who lives in the same building and who was off duty at the task responded, and summoned Dr. Jhase of the Knickerbocker Hospital. The doctor worked with a pulmonator on Miss Pike for more than an hour endeavoring to revive her, and the strain. The door and windows of the apartment. It was found by the coroner, were open, and the small amount of gas inhaled by the unfortunate young woman would not have seriously affected a person of strong constitution. The verdict of the coroner jury was that her death would be caused by heart failure. Miss Pike, during her four years connection with the League, made a splendid record from the standpoint. A MISS BESSIE M. PIKE of efficiency, but his bad to lose from four to six weeks each year from physical disability. She held a position of great responsibility and enjoyed the confidence and good will of all the officials of the organization. Her work was always well in hand and kept up to her. She was born in Raleigh, N. G. February 2, 1890, and attended the public schools of New York City. She graduated from the Washington Irving High School in 1908. Miss Pike was a member of the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church for twelve years, and was connected with the B. Y. P. U. of which she was for a short while, the vice-president, and was also secretary of the Flying Squadron, an organization of young ladies. The funeral services were held Tuesday, August 11, at 4 o'clock, from the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, the Rev W. P. Hayes, Jr. pastor, officiating, assisted by Dr. W. H. Brooks. Soles were sung by Mrs. Estelle Mead and Miss Funce Wise, and a duet was rendered by Mrs. Herman and Miss Funce Wise. S.

David Brown had charge of the body and the interment was at St Michael's cemetery PHOTOS COME IN LARGE NUMBERS Beauty Contest Entries Send in Photos from All Sections of the Country Expressions of Approval and Commendation of Idea of Selecting Most Beautiful Women of Race Are Received Daily "MOST IDEAL CONCEPTION" Correspondent Says Contest Is Most Ideal Conception Ever Inaugurated and That We Should Be Proud of Our Beautiful Women. "I think that this Beauty Contest conducted by The Age is one of the most ideal conceptions ever inaugurated. It is all right. We should be proud of our beautiful women." This is what Wm. H. Green of Rochester, X. Y. had to say concerning the beauty Contest being conducted by this paper with a view to discovering the "Chosen Fifteen" most beautiful women of the Negro race in the United States. It is given as a fair sample of the many expressions received daily approving of the effort being made to let the world see the type of cultured and beautiful women developed in the race which has had to struggle for advancement, and elevation under a handicap suffered by no other race in modern history. Many Photos Have Been Received. The idea expressed by a correspondent last week that from the entries in this contest might be selected an ideal type of American Negro beauty has also met with responsive approval. The group of photos given this week are particularly striking in that such a wide range of types is shown. Every mail is bringing photos of women representing the best physical development of women of the race, and they come from all sections of the country. The photos selected for reproduction by the Beauty Contest Editor must not be considered as prize winners. All of them, of course, are possible prize winners, but the effort is made in choosing photos for reproduction to show as many varying types of beauty as possible. In this way an intelligent idea is given as to what a composite ideal type will be. The management of the Autumn Amusement and Advertising Festival, in connection with which the Beauty Contest as being conducted, furnish the information that they are being deluged with requests for information concerning the contest, and there is every reason to believe that the eyes of the world will be opened as to the development of comely Negro women. Judges Will Have Difficult Task. The greatest difficulty to be uninterested by the judges in making a selection of the "Chosen Fifteen" or of an ideal type will be the plethora of material in hand. Already the Beauty Createst Editor has a desk drawer well filled with photos and the interest is really just beginning to be aroused. The beauty of the American Negro woman is of so varied a character and ranges through so many different types that it will be a difficult matter to combing the differing elements into a standard type. It is believed to be possible, however, and the effort will be most probably made. There Are No Rules for Contest. Photos will be received until September 21, when contest closes. A committee of twelve capable and disinterested men and women will be invited to act as judges and all photos receives will be turned over to the judges. No person connected with THE AGR, or with the National Amusement Company will have anything to do with making the awards. Any photo of a woman or girl of the Negro race can be sent in. A coupon is printed in this paper for convenience in entering photographs, but its use is not a requirement. Address all photos to the Beauty Contest Editor, The New York Agr. 247 West 40th street, New York City. Announcement of the "Chosen Fifteen" will be made by the judges on Monday night, September 28, at the opening of the mammoth Autumn Amusement and Advertising Festival, which is being promoted by the National Exhibition and Amusement Co. for five nights, from September 28 to October 2, at Manhattan Casino, 155th street and Eighth avenue. Enlarged reproductions of the "Chosen Fifteen" will be on exhibition at the Festival on Thursday night, October 1, and every person attending on that night will receive as a souvenir a handsome folder in which will be printed beautiful- PRICE ee eRe RELATE NTIS CaN Rees ae TREES) eran RM SO SS ee TET oe ee Me Me Le eee r FULT a SUE ECL ON eee eae LN CT EE Se Be ee NC Ree et isi ue im ae fg ee a a oe accede Ss 4 me Fea eee U I ikk salsa] se fepicyad® hokey VMBEN CoE Wha UGH Lee ae pen Me baad an (7 Seteeeae a ei 2 Pistwnte f= the, entiée | the Jesmployat” whether ‘black or —wbita |:thet-whes you peng thie: black ‘ala <n Prati petra 123 8 2 PE a este see ot et acer aioe ce tert to Tone errant Sorel hates a | SHAMPOO: DRIER ‘AND HAR SixTo' eh one of Ine *ChovenPivteeh''| av’the* desited “result follows: ~"Fhe] hete will send’many white men's souls} “IMP js cagmcin y: ONO [cetera Sot st atee nat tonne ae Evilit be awarded a ‘solid gold: bar.’ pin, | matters “of rearing.healthy ;and_.jntel-| to liell.”.”’ Smallwood, stood as firm. as |: fw: : Ga) sy NI Pes 7 Feel gst dy 2 Suitablyzengraved. «of ligent’ childrens. properly, “supervised Gibraltar, directly in front of his cols |: MF" et li AF agate ne = «Award ifer New.

The Minis: ter of Foreign Affairs replied that he had no direer knowledge of the facts inthe case, Lut that the country had teen greatly misrepresented. “The sending of vessels of the Usi- ted States navy (9, Haytian waters is not relished’ hy the people of this country,, who resent «the “idea that Haytians need interference from: out- side sources. Even though’thie United States has declared that it Wants no territory here, many seem to think that the United States wants Mole St. Nicholas as a coaling station. It would be a strategic point, especially since the Panama Canal is to be open- ed Within a few days. < .. Though there are some signs of ui- fest here, there is no indication that the present government will be over- thrown, ’ Leadirig men of the country express pleasure at the fact that the-Haytian consul at New York City and im- porters in that’ city ‘state that. the country is not bankrupt. The statement of the consul at Néw York follows in part: . “In the republié of Hayti certain conditions are, not what the Kee York newspapers would have the pub- lic understand. The current obliga- tions, bth internal and foreign, have been’ promptly met, and nothing ‘is tiow due any such creditors of the wovernment, notwithstanding the in- ternal affairs of the republic. County Is Not Bankrupt. , “In Hayti certain’ public works, such as railroads. electric lighting, building and repair of highways are let.under contract, after competitive bidding, the work being let to the lowest responsible bidder. .In the past these contracts have been given to foreigners, and the better part of them to American citizens. The con- tfacts are careiully drawn, and the contractors or corieessionaries are held strictly according to the specifi cations of their respective contracts. An important element of these con- .tracts is the time limit Saced on ‘the completion of the work, ‘this being in the interest of the public welfare. Un- Jess-the-contracts-are completed with- in the time specified, the.contracts oF concessions are forefited. © —\ “ft has happened in the past that the (contractors or concessionaries have not lived up to their contracts. but have delayed ‘the work beyond the time specified, or have in other ways broken their contracts. in conse- quence of which the contracts or concessions will be taken away from them. The agitation and the cabled Rews appearing in the daily papers which make the republic appear bankrupt and without money to: meet its obligations are the work of men who will have the terms of their con- tracts enforced against them.” ~ The-Depariment of Finance. for the past month has been redeeming. cou- pons on the foreign debt interest. This interest was due in June and the government was able to pay the holders of coupons. o SMALLWOOD MONUMENT UNVEILED IULY 26 ee Sew eee ene ee | Cusremoxt, Vaz Aug., —The un- veiling of the monument erected to ‘the memory and honor of the late John -J.

It has been decided to publish at Tuskegee Institute Post Office, Every-Other-Week for the present, a national farm paper to be known as THE NEGRO FARMER. It will be published in the interest of Negro landowners, tenant farmers and of those who employ Negro labor. There is no other strictly farm newspaper in the world devoted to the interest of Negro farmers. Many of the white farm newspapers enjoy huge circulations and there is no reason why a farm paper in the interest of Negroes should not prove equally successful. In fact, occupying an exclusive field it should enjoy a success far beyond that of the usual-farm publication. It is proposed to circulate this paper among the 2,000,000 black farmers of the United States. The paper will be eight pages, of about the size of "The Country Gentleman." DR. BOOKER T., WASHINGTON STATES: The Tuskegee Institute has no financial interest or control over this new publication, but some of the active officers of the institution are interested in its success and believe that it will not only be successful, but also a paying investment. The paper is backed by a strong organization and funds have been provided in advance to assure its publication. Those in active control of THE NEGRO FARMER have my entire confidence and good will. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. The success of this project is assured because of the solid and sensible lines upon which it is being laid out. All the capital stock has been subscribed for.

And as a journalist he "sets down" what he sees in good phrases, and with a striking sense of comparison. Not long ago he went over into Oklahoma, the State of wonders, and since that visit he has given us time to time an idea of the vast riches of the newest of the States; and no less an idea of the energy and achievements of the Oklahoma Negro. Recently he wrote of Boley, compared with which he calls famous Mound Bayou, Miss., "a Negro settlement." That single phrase took us over for the second time his description of the black city with a white record: Boley was "founded" in 1904, ten years ago; yet from the growth and development of it, according to the record, its age might reach in years Gultrie, Muskogee or Oklahoma City; for what it takes to make a hamlet a town, and transform a town into a city seems to be ripe in the manifestation at Boley. Boley has wealth: the taxable property is valued at $450,000 in the corporate limits and $800,000 in the county lines. Boley has big business: last year $1,000,000 passed hands in the processes of trade. Boley has independence: they tell us that $1,000,000 will represent the holdings and investment of the citizens. The farmers there last year, put $250,000 into stock and grain, while Negro merchants, passed in trade an amount something like $192,000, while the Negro buyers invested in the promises of King Cotton more than $325,000. Now Boley is a, "new" town, but the postoffice, the best register of the importance of a community, almost seals it as an old town, for in 1913 $252,000 passed the hands of the postmaster, and the money order department alone, handled a quarter of a million dollars. Also the bank of a community is a safe sign, of its stability or lack of it. For a Negro town of 2,500 people but 10 years in age a bank showing deposits of $55,000 is encouraging. The church life of the town of Boley needs no witness; certainly not, for where a few Negroes are gathered together many churches abound. Nor has Boley neglected to provide schools for the children, for of the bonded indecentness of only $49,000 a big sum went for school buildings, as well as for fine sidewalks, paved street electric lights, and water. Boley is black and Southern, but it sounds DEAR IN THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY IN THE SOUTH. Col. Theodore Roosevelt is a world-wide figure. In politics, war and literature, he is the most pronounced figure in modern life, if not the most rounded and evenly balanced. It was in his power to remain the master spirit of the American Republic, in private station or in high command, as George Washington did, during his natural life. If he had allowed President Taft to play out his part, in his way, as President, and abided the results of the nominating convention, in Chicago, in 1912, he would have had a united Republican party behind him for the Presidency in 1916. That can be clearly seen now, and inay have been seen by Col. Roosevelt, in 1912, before he bolted the Republican party and set up the Progressive party, with himself as candidate for President against President Taft, who, four years previously, Col. Roosevelt had himself singled out to succeed him in the Presidency. No one was more surprised and disappointed in the result of the November voting than Col. Roosevelt. Forty States lined up with Woodrow Wilson and the Democratic party, and only four for Col. Roosevelt and four for President Taft. A shump like that in the politics of the nation indicated more the disgust of the people at the warring contentions of the two chief figures in our politics than any love for Woodrow Wilson or confidence in the Democratic party. It has been sufficiently shown that Col. Roosevelt adopted the wrong course in antagonizing and splitting, aye, destroying for the time being, the Republican party, and it was shown with equal sufficiency that the nation has got enough of President Wilson and the Democratic party. What then? It depends largely upon Col. Roosevelt, whether he will begin to heal up the wounds he has made instead of continuing to irritate the old and to make new ones; whether he will turn about and front the Democratic enemy and stop making war on Republican leaders, without whom he cannot be elected if he should get any sort of nomination for the Presidency in 1916. That is the simple truth of the matter. He is a weak man, however strong, who systematically underrates and berates the strong man with whom he must, work in order to get results, in order to win victories. And Col. Roosevelt has always had he mischievous habit of relying upon weak men, because he could control them, rather than upon strong men, who would willingly work with him as equals, but not as servants. Col. Roosevelt's new and remarkable attitude on the Negro's rights and limitations as a parisian was intended to capture Southern votes of Southern Democrats; but it did nothing of the sort. The white slaves of the Democratic party in the South not only know but fear their white masters, and do their bidding as often as they crack the ball whip over them, yelling "No Negro Domination!" He got no Southern State in 1912, and none since, and there is no evidence that the Progressive party or the Republican party will get any in the near future. Those who are familiar with the character for fairness and courage of Mr. J. O. THOMPSON of Alabama were not surprised at the attitude and tone of his letter to Mr. GEORGE W. PERKINS, as printed in full, in TIME AGE of July 30, protesting against the conduct of the State Committee of the State of Alabama, in providing in their official call for their State Convention; that only white men can be members of the Progressive party in Alabama. The whole nation should share the righteous indignation of Mr. THOMPSON when he-says: "This is a step further in that direction than any democratic committee, or body has ever done in the South that I can recall. I have an entirely different view of the objects and purposes of the Progressive Party than that expressed by our special committee. I have no doubt that the South will be interpreted one word that to me means, or what in anywise could be interpreted, to mean that we would undertake my party action noiseless voles to annul the Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution. I know how anxious we are all to overcome certain prejudices and to build a party in the South that will be for the use of the people in giving expression to Progressive policies, to give them a voice, to give them their rights to overcome machine government, but when it comes to doing a mean thing for political expediency, I am against such action. "The Negro political question is one we cannot throw off at will. In fact it will be a live question for many years, yea, for many decades in the future history of this country, but it is a question that all strong men must meet with fairness and justness to all conferred. It was silly for the special committee to have taken the action they did for the reason that there possibly would have been few colored men elected to the convention. They as a rule are not in sympathy with us as a party, although many individuals among them are enthusiastic about the Colored people, but they are not them; they are their respective counties, but it was incumbent on the special committee to keep within the bounds of reason and justice to all sections of our electorate in calling the convention. "In 1910 I was a Republican nominee for Governor of Alabama. 'I was advertised as adversely as possible by the Democratic press as being too friendly to the Negro, still. I received 9,000 more votes (they came from the Democratic party) than the balance of my ticket who had not been too friendly to the Negro. The 9,000 votes came from the church people of the state. The people who have in mind to oppose the organized democracy are not going to decline to do so forsyth because the opposition party merely treats decemly a section of our people." All honor to Mr. THOMPSON, a Southron of the Southerners! He wants the chairman of the National Committee of the Progressive party to call the committee together at as early a date as possible, and so settle this Negro question that he who runs may read. Very good. But will he do it? It is up to Mr. GEORGE W. PERRINS and Col. THEOREC ROOSEVELT. In view of the platform attitude of the Progressive party on the Negro question, more in what was said and done than in what was incorporated in the Chicago platform, we say now, as we said at the time, that it takes a great deal of nerve of the sort that we do not care to possess and need not respect, for one or many Negroes in New York, or in other States, to actively engage in the work of promoting the interests of, the Progressive party and encouraging others to do so, at the expense of the Republican party, which gave us all we had and never denied us any right of citizenship. white and New England. All this—the building and control of so advanced a community by Negroes in a State like Oklahoma—all this means that the pioneers had to hustle, call often on common sense, be sober in counsel and diffident about the business in hand, and keep an eye on the main point: that was to plant a city in the desert that should blossom like a rose, a city for Negroes, of Negroes and by Negroes, something of a witness; if necessary a proof, BOOKER T, WASHINGTON, who is calm about everything and cool under strange boasting, looks with favor upon the pilgrimage to Boley, planned by the delegates to the coming session of the Business League at Muskogee. Perhaps out of the visit will come new industries, new people, more improved hands, and hearts, brave enough to fight the battle where the battle is THE EUROPEAN-WAR AND ITS HORRORS. There come times in the life of every person, as of every nation, when life and death are pitted against each other in the decision to be made as to the proper course to be pursued. Such times are called orcial. Some of the wisest men and the greatest nations of the past have selected the worse and not the better course and gone to wreck in the Titanic measurement of wits and strength. In every such times the disposition to serve selfish ends usually sways those concerned in such a wise as to blind them, to their true interests and their safer course, which they very often see in advance, but take the ganbiler's chance to win anyhow, as a matter of luck. That they so often fail in no sense deters those who come after them from tempting fortune in like-manner. Wrecked lives of great men and great nations litter the highways of history, as dead men and animals and disordered baggage trains and bedraggled camp-followers bring up the rear of conquering as well as retreating armies like as going and coming, war is the prime abomination that makes desolation. The gigantic war in Europe, between Servia, Russia, France and Great Britain, on the one hand, and Germany, Austria, and possibly Italy, on the other, was precipitated so suddenly that even the allies of Austria seem not to have been apprised of her purpose until she had drawn the sword against little Servia. The eighteen-year-old Serb who assassinated the Austrian Grand Duke and his wife in Bosnia served as the little child with the provocation that moved the aged Emperor of Austria to wrath. Servia conceded all of his demands in the matter of the assassination of the Grand, Duke and his wife, except one, and was willing to discuss that with a view to reaching an amicable understanding; but the aged FRANZ JOSEPH would none of it. He drew the sword, and there was nothing for the others to do but follow suit. It is also a matter of race antagonism, for the most part, as well as jealousy of territorial advantages, of age-long standing. Two hundred million people, with 20,000,000 soldiers are thus brought into the horrors of war, at the cost of $50,000,000 a day, or more, with the slaughter of men in battle and the agonies of widows and orphans, which entailed tax burdens on future generation in addition to the enormous ones existing before the war began. The effects of the war are felt in all parts of the world, and by all peoples. The times promise to be hard and trying as long as the war continues. The American people will not escape, even if they shall be able to maintain neutrality, which is always doubtful in such a disturbed condition. Christianity appears to be a failure, as tested by the inability of the natious that profess it to adjust their differences of race and territorial metes and bounds, and trade relations, by the Christian principles of brotherhood and fair and lawful dealing one with the other. Race hatred appears to have lost but little of its murderous purpose, the whites of Europe belonging all to the same race but of different tribes, as was the case with the warring Indian tribes of this country, who were fighting themselves to the death when they were not fighting the white usurper, after he canue. It is a sad, a horrible day, for all mankind. MUST A. METHODIST MINIS TER. BE A MAN? Some questions are so abrupt and, withal, so provokingly bizarre, that we marvel they should be asked, and are often surprised at the character of the answers given by their askers. "Must a Methodist Preacher Be a Man?" is one such question, it seems absurd to have asked and foolish to answer. It is, however, asked by Editor Kyle of the A. M.E. Zion Quarterly Review for July; and in all seriousness and with good reason, and is answered in like manner. As a matter of fact, many Methodist ministers are neither men nor women, but dumb machines, and only do things as they are directed by those in authority over them, the service they render being such as persons with character and brains would not be expected to do. But Dr. Kyle answers his own question in his own way, as follows: "To what extent does it become necessary for an Methodist minister, or a minister of any church with an episcopal form of government, to lose his identity and to sacrifice his manhood and the courage 'of' his convictions? This question has often been asked and the charge has been brought against the breachers by ministers of other denominations that they are for the most part a set of cringing sycophants, grinning, and pandering to the whims of the bishops under whom they serve. There is scarcely any warrant for such a charge. It certainly cannot be based upon any constitutional requirement of the Methodist church. While it demands recognition of an individual, it demands recognition of the highest type of Christian manhood, and enourages independence of thought. Where ever the contrary is true, it may be said with definiteness so far as the Methodist church is concerned, that it is not due to any warrant in its policy, but rather to the lack of the elements of manhood on the part of the ministry, and the tendency to tyranny to the extent of part of the Broth. And further, in whatever church such a state of things exists, there will be a stunting of individual manhood, a blighting of the possibilities of the church and a lowering of the dignity of the episcopacy." Now, it is claimed by writers of their own in their own church newspapers every week that the conditions Dr. KVLYS indicates do exist, that there are too many subservient ministers, to the bishops and that the tyranny of the bishops has lowered the standard of the Episcopacy. It is interesting to watch the tyrannical bishop and the subservient ministers in action in a conference, as we have often done. CHAMPION FIGHTERS GO TO THE WAR. When France, was constrained by Germany to draw the sword one of the first of the Reservists to walk up to the recruiting station and enlist for the war was Georges CARPENTIER the idol of the French prize ring, who recently bested FRANK MORAN of Pittsburgh, in the fight in London. Thousands cheered CARPENTIER as he faced his duty as a citizen and enlisted to fight for his country. But more significant than the action of CARPENTIER is that of the Black Champion of the World, as related in the following cablegram in the New York Times: PARIS, Aug. 4, "JACK" JONESSON, the pugilist, who has for some time been endeavoring to become a French citizen, to day handed over his automobiles to the government and asked leave to enlist in the French Army. We do not understand that there have, been, thrown any obstacles in the way of JOIN:& to become a citizen of France other than those we throw in the way of aliens who seek to become citizens of the United States; but the New York Times could not let the opportunity pass to slur Johnson's fine and mainly act in turning over his automobiles to the French government and asking to be allowed to enlist in the French army. We warrant that the people of France appreciate the splendid manliness the action of Johnson shows them he possesses. His life and property is all that a brave man could offer to his adopted country in its hour of peril. France has many African soldiers in her armies, said to be quite a million, and if she is hard pressed by her enemies, as she is likely to be in the pending war, she may throw a division of them into Europe, which would be the first time such a thing has been done since the Moors of Northern Africa were driven out of Spain, after ruling it quite eight hundred years. If it should do so we shall expect none of them to fight more bravely under the Tri-Color than John Arthur Johnson. The Champion Prize-Fighter of the World. EDITORIAL NOTES. So glad we are a neutral Power and may not have to join in the big European war horror. The Baltimore Colored American has changed its name to The Tribune. "It smells the same." There is no reason why Col. Rushvarr should not be the biggest Republican in the land, but he can't be the biggest Progressive at the same time. There is as much free prejudice in Europe among the white people as there is in the United States among the colored people, our entire population being colored, more or less, between extreme white and extreme black. Mr. Gina B. Jackson of Virginia is one of the most interesting Negro characters in the Southern States, besides being a lawyer in practicing Richmond, he is many other things, but written in the books, that make it possible for him to get out of white men things he wants Mr. Gitts B. Jackson of Virginia wants an appropriation from Congress for his Negro Historical and Industrial Association, and in asking for it told Senator Martin that "We do not ask for any political office, neither do we expect to receive any." Mr. Jackson and his sort are, in the language of a dead wit, "amusin' cusses." The Ace's Beauty Contest has developed some very pretty women, residing in many of the countryside and there are more to follow. As a matter of pride and exaltation, the colored people of the United States have among them some of the most beautiful and accomplished women in the world, and have just begun the production of them, being only some fifty years in the business. 'As the war of the Balkan States, in southeastern Europe' to free themselves from Turkish oppression died away the Mexican war in southwestern America and the European war of the six greatest Powers which 20,000,000 soldiers are ready to participate, has been declared by Austria against Servia. It is easier and cheaper to rush into war than to rush between two individuals or a neighborhood riot. The disposition toight 'something is still the ruling passion. The indictment of Bishop C. R. HARRIS and eight other men who were trustees of Hopkins Chapel, by the Buncombe County grand jury, charging arson, may be a very serious matter for all those concerned, or one of the usual tricks some fire insurance companies adopt to dodge payment of their losses. The insurance on the chapel, which was buried four years ago, was $10,000, and was located in the Second Episcopal District of the A. M. E. Zion Church, presided over by Bishop HARRIS, which would make him responsible, as a trustee without any criminality, in the possible destruction of the chapel as all- that he has been able to achieve success whatever. It was that way in the Jamestown Exposition some years ago. Mr. Jackson now has in hand another historical and other exposition for Negroes that calls for an appropriation and he seems likely to get it. We do not object. Many of our newspapers are objecting to his methods of approaching white men and what he desires, but he would not be himself, he would not get the appropriation and he would not get the appropriation and other considerations from white executives and law-makers he approaches them for. Mr. Jackson is his own Negro type. Chairman WILLIAM-BARNES, Jr., of the Republican State Committee of New York, has sued Col. THOMPSON, Roosevelt-for libel. He wants $50,000 damages. Col. Roosevelt has accused in public utterances Chairman Hayes of most of the crimes usually assumed to party leaders of politics, and he says he is ready and willing to prove these accusations. But feelings of experiential teaches, however, that it is easier to accuse public men of wrong doing in public addresses and newspaper interviews, than it is to convict them in a court of justice of doing so. Col. Roosevelt has been one of the best accusers on record. Governor BLEASE of South Carolina has many queer notions in his campaign to succeed in politics anyhow, and most of them are of doubtful public morality. His determination not to leave a convict in the prison of the State when he ceases to be Governor is one of his queer, notions, and with which he is succeeding. A great many Negro convicts serving unjust or exorcisms have, however, been benched by the governor, been benched of his queer notions is his burning desire to be elected to the Federal Senate, and he may have it granted, as the Nemesis of Southern States often delights in exalting freaks. There are said to be 1,000,000 or more aliens in the United States subject to army service in their home countries, and many have answered the call to go home and fight, as many did in the recent Balkan war. The question that bothers them most, however, is inability to leave the country, as the war in Europe has tied up all shipping. Thousands of American tourists in Europe have been stranded abroad and placed in a detention center for deterring, because there were no ships to fetch them home. Our country has made special arrangements to fetch them home and to relieve their necessities while waiting for the transports. The Christian Recorder finds that our young college graduates are, not generally disposed to adopt the ministry as a life work because it does not offer sufficient inducements. Our preachers have a hard, and uncertain life; it until they have a lifetime job; but only a very few bishops, not more than sixteen in any of our churches, have, the job at as given time, and like the Supreme Court-Judges—none of their resign and few of them die. The ministry would have been made the center of educational and social settlement-activity among its members, as is largely the case with the Catholic churches. Mountaineers are proverbially thrifty. They know the value of a penny. One of them walked into the county clerk's office at Williamsburg, West Virginia, recently, and wanted the return of the fee for a marriage license issued to him twenty-four years ago, and was surprised when told he could not have it. The woman in the case promised to marry him, but when the wedding day arrived she had backed out. Once every month for four years, the same thing has happened, so the old gave it up and wanted to surrender the unused-license to the clerk and get the fee. "ERMENAIA 'howed we wouldn't; so I callerate we won't," he said. Here is romance and the gall of hope in the tragedy of it! WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY The Paper For Him, To the Editor of The Age; Among the many papers that I take during the week, there is one, that I New York Age, that do not do without: The New York Age. A Negro paper that gives the current news as it really is. The editors are men with backbone; they are not afraid to publish the news as it occurs, and to publish the business men and women of our race. Every part of this State and other States who take pleasure in stating facts as they are. By reading The Age you are brought into the business men and women of our race. Rightfully he called the Bureau of information. If you have lost friends and want to find them let me be known to you. May the time soon come when The Age, may the time soon come from the pages or twenty- or four or eight pages, but twenty- or four long Live The Age. Environment No Hindrance to To the Editor of The Argus In this advanced area of civilization the race is told that environment is a hindrance to racial progress and unity, history disproves this, fallacy. While this history disproves this, fallacy, most foreable manner possible, the fact willpower is necessary to rudic or individual success, and that other things being equal the greater the willpower, the more willpower may become a biondarte or a Lincoln. We must temper our determination with discretion and support it with knowledge and common sense; or it may become a biondarte or a Lincoln. We must not expect to use our purpose. We must not expect to use a stubborn fact by a stubborn will. We merely have the right to assume we can do anything within the limit of our purpose, strength and endurance. Outstrikes permissible insurmountable bar our progress in some directions, but in gay, direction to go, we shall find that we as a rule, as a rule, are either not insurmountable or else not permanent. The strong willed, intelligent, perseverant we can make a way where, in the nature of things, a way can be found or made. While it is true that our circumstances and environment do affect us in most things, we do not prevent our own rise, whence comes it, and what it is in large or small, stunted, wild man or well-deloped, dars, according to our circumstances, grown. Yet its environment cannot make wheat of it. Nor can our circumstances and environment alter our circumstances, to a certain extent, wholly within our power, greatly change and to make advantage of our circumstances, to make the corn, the wheat, much superior, our surroundings simply because can thus vary and improve the surroundings. In other words, the race can thus vary and upon which it is to run its race. It. is not a question of what someone else can do or become, which every one himself, but, what can I do? There no man or race whom opportunity does not visit once but when she finds him, and when he goes in at the door and out through the window. The careless the slow, the unobservant, the hazy, fail to see it. The sharp, trained, prepared, detect it is stantly and catch it on the wing. The Negro must be haught that diligence and efficiency is the mother of fortune; that the man who falls as a rule does not see or seize his opportunity, would like, but what we long for and strive for with all our strength, we usually reach. A. G. SHAW. MURDERING NEGROES NOT POPULAR. An industrious and thrifty colored man was assassinated near Five Mile in Northeast Nile last Friday night. The citizens, especially of that part of the county—we it so themselves to assassinate, and turn him over to the courts. To kill a man in a fight, face to face, it is bad enough, but being in a fight is one of the blackest deeds in all the catalogue of crimes. A person who would be guilty of such an act is unworthy to kill, and he would be guilty of very very very aimeless, which he breaches. He is worse than a rattlesnake, for that repile will give its intended vexim warning before making a move. He is common with the people of Hialeau county, and every effort should be made to ferret out the person. He is hand in wait and, without a moment's warning, sent the soul of a fellow-boy into eternity. He should be made to pay the penalty, his horrible crime—Greenwich, Ohio. The fact that the man who was killed in this base manner was, a Negro should not be blamed of, if his uncle infiltrated the murderer. The time has come in Alabama when it is no longer a mere breach of the peace in the city, and the men have been severely punished in Alabama for killing Negroes when it was shown that the white men were totally in the wrong. The trouble is that the terrible decrease in late years in the number of crimes against white women by Negroes and a resultant increase in the number of murders is particularly so in Alabama. It is very rare indeed that this unmanageable crime is committed—this is so all over that the men are fewer jymphs, but no State is ahead of Anabma in this respect. The let-up in jymphs in Alabama is the most aggressive course against jymphs by Alabama Governors in late years, and a radical decrease in the number of cases which usually mislead jymphs. Let the work of re-enforcing law in Alabama go steadily forward. White man murders a Negro man, punish the law and the evidence justly. Punish him as we would punish a Negro for murping a white man.

MONEY IN RAISING POULTRY FOR MARKET Special to TU, New York, Ace TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala., Aug. 11- The changing character of the many industries on the South cannot be better understood than in the attitude of farmers and truck farmers toward the raising of poultry. Poultry raising in all sections of the country has become more of a business within the last twenty years than ever before. Fancy breeders with an eye on the blue ribbon of the county fair have always paid a great deal of attention to fowls. The produce exchange report, and the railroad companies bear out this report, indicates that the business of raising poultry has increased almost 500 per cent, in the last decade. One has only to keep an eye on the crates carrying chickens, gessen turkeys and ducks through the western and southwestern states to appreciate the growing importance of the business of raising and marketing fowl. In certain sections of the country poultry farms are as numerous as truck farms; in fact many truck farmers carry poultry raising, along with the cultivation of vegetables. The fine poultry farm at Tuskegee institute, Ala., forms the working plant of the department devoted to poultry raising, which runs from feeding for eggs to artificial incubation. How to build for chickens, for geese, for ducks and for turkey is a part of the course of study. How to hatch them is no less in importance than how to market them. There are at present in this poultry yard about 2,500 fowls. The plant is cared for by the students of the division of poultry raising. There is not a Southern city of any size that will not support two or more poultry farms, and the profits in the business are exactly what the operators make them. Chickens never lack at market, among the rich or the poor, and all races alike are partial to fowl.

City in The Age THESE are hard, hard times, for the music publisher, who has joined the first ranks of calamity howlers. The song most familiar to his ears is one entitled "Hard Times," which he reluctantly sings from morning to night for the reason that he finds the public unwilling to popularize any of his numbers. Usually at this time of, the year two or three song hits are waging a successful conquest for popularity, but this summer not one song has won the affections of music lovers. There is not a pronounced hit at large. People nowadays are not indulging in much singing. They are dancing, dancing: "Everybody's doing it." The Maxie, Castle Walk, Tango and other terpischorean novelies are commanding the attention of the fickle public, and when one is dancing around and around day in and day out there is very little time left to be devoted to warbling "Mary, My Heart Is Breaking" and "Down on the Mississippi River." Every summer we, as a rule, are inflicted with popular songs, which we hear from early morning until late at night. But this year such a condition does not obtain. If you hear a song more than once it is about the Tango or one of the modern dances. For months the publisher has stayed up late at nights planning what effective method could be in bringing vocal numbers to the attention of the public; song after song has been written and the most active purveyor of melody, the "plugger," has industriously worked overtime; but efforts to produce one big summer hit have been unavailing. As songs about the good old summertime, baseball and the seaside are passé and no longer arouse an idea of enthusiasm; these subjects having been overworked by our lyric writers, the publisher last May made a strong appeal to composers to come forth with an original idea—one which would prove sufficiently alluring to cause the natives to temporarily forget about the society dances and show a disposition to increasingly indulge in vocal recreation. But not an idea was original enough to put the dance craze to rout. Then the publisher turned toward the war in Mexico when Uncle Sam's mighty fleet was sent to Villa's country to tell the Mexicans to "go" way back and sit down." But again bitter disappointment in an endeavor to manufacture a popular song was met with, for the controversy between the United States and Mexico, was not of sufficient interest to arouse the war spirit in Americans, whose martial ardour refused to effervescence." To the majority of natives any hostilities between the United States and Mexico was likened to a big, bad boy taking a piece of candy from a baby. Therefore, the publisher found that with the war spirit playing truant it was utterly impossible. to arouse the populace to a high state of enthusiasm over the idea of warring on Mexico. Since January many music publishers have been forced to go out of business, and it is rumored that others are, scheduled to take the same route before long. One or two firms engaged in publishing instrumental numbers are managing to sail the stormy commercial seas without fear of "rocking the boil" with cathalimous results, but the majority of song manufacturers are facing a crisis. And a change for the better will only come when the public evinces a disposition to sing more and dance less. The truth contained in the axiom, "it's an ill wind that blows nobody good," is not disputed by the music publisher. However, the believes that the following statement, "A good wind oftimes does, much harm to somebody," fittingly describes this case. For the popularity of the Modern Dances has played havoc with the music publishing business. J. Leubrie Hill Very Much Alive. J. Leubrie Hill, the well-known song writer, and the moving spirit of the Darktown Follies, has not hade Mother Earth goodbye, as was reported last week.

Wilberforce University is a chartered institution of more than fifty years, located in Greene County, O. Carolina, and founded by the Methodist Church. It is makes use of the following: "The old Wilberforce—the venerable institute—of Daniel Payne, etc." The Griselda informs us that "side by side with Wilberforce, I ask for August tell," so obscure that "few people know of its existence; and yet so brilliant that like Rastus, it puts old Wilberforce all in the shade." The present writer, although a resident of this city, has a degree in Wilberforce University, pleads guilty in not eyes to see this New Wilberforce. Quoting again from The Crisis article, This New Wilberforce is a separate and distinct institution carried on by the State of Ohio, on a campus adjoining Wilberforce University, and it is now officially the University at Wilberforce University. The article also calls this "New Wilberforce" the Wilberforce Normal and Industrial Department, and quotes the State University as naming the Wilberforce Industrial Department. This is a case of deriving Middletown Moses—all you have to do is to dissect and add "iddletown." Officer credit is given to "the head of the New Wilberforce" who, it is said, is responsible for its present organization and advance." Honor to whom he is due: only little minds he needs to know, only little hands he needs to care for. The Crisis adds: "The enrollment for 1914 was 555, an increase of 490 per cent, over 1910." The Crisis also informs us that the head of the New Wilberforce was "elected to his present position in 1910 to succeed the previous chairman," and that the University are printed in this Normal and Industrial Department. I say to the credit of that department, and they are gotten out in good mechanical form. They are also prepared by a committee of which the superintendent of that department is chairman, and they are given the authority to act as the intelligence and identity of that committee, especially its chairman. With one-exception these catalogues shall be my only authority. I shall be obliged to quote once from the catalogue of 1909, will also say from the catalogue of 1910, and will make where I use figures to indicate the number of names, I have obtained these figures not only from the footings, but have counted the names as I have found them in the catalogues, and have verified my count. The catalogue of 1909 gives me the number of students in Wilberforce University, including this "New Wilberforce" as furnishing an enrollment of 455. That there has been gain in the attendance, the following facts will show: In 1611 the College Department en- rolled ..... 22 Academic Department ..... 45 67 In 1612 the College Department en- rolled ..... 37 Academic Department enrolled ..... 79 107 In 1613 the College Department en- rolled ..... 41 Academic Department enrolled ..... 84 125 In 1614 the College Department en- rolled ..... 50 Academic Department enrolled ..... 103 Thus the increase in these two departments shows that in four years the four years in which this great advance has been made and in which it is said the increase was nearly 100 per cent. due to Superintendent Joliette, a colleague of the department increased 130 per cent. It is also to be noted that in order to make ground for the assertion that something had increased the attendance or enrollment nearly 100 per cent; five names were added in catalogue (758 plus 65 equal 553) while none of these mythical names are accredited to the College or Academic Department. Did not take account of the Preparatory Department, because I do not understand the method by which it happened, however, that the average has been greatly pulled down by that department. That part of Wilberforce University's work known as the Combined Normal and Industrial Department, which, as the article says, has "the millions of the state of Ohio back of it, to make good the exuberant claims of that department," (over an annual amount of "nearly 100 per cent," should have carried the total per cent up to twice that rate. If the College and Academic Departments, which, as the article says, are "to-day wolfly short of funds," have been able to make 100 per cent increase in the Normal Department, with its free tuitions, the rate should have been not "nearly 100 per cent, but nearly twice "100 per cent." The startling, but highly encouraging fact is revealed that if the rate of increase has been pulled down from 130 per cent, established by students paying tuition to nearly 100 per cent, increased on stock, corresponding elsewhere, if counted alone the increase is 130 per cent. If counted with others, and sixty-five added to the total the increase will be nearly 100 per cent." Let us now pour a little nearer to the calculation. I work parenthetically that it gives me measure the following facts, which I do with absolute firmness. The number of State students, that is those availing themselves of the free tuition offered by the State, in 1911 was 141; in 1912, 157; in 1913, 157; in 1914, 144. "The difference between 141 for 1910-11 and 144 for the year 1913-14 is 3. or lately over 2 per cent, not a strong solution surely, considered in the College and 19 per cent of the College and 19 per cent of the College. But this does not indicate all of the progress made by the "New Willierforce." In 1909 the number of State students furnished the tuition by the State was 161. The difference between 161 and 144 is 17. The increase here reminds one of the case where a man neglected one of the counties on the sum he owed until the state up to the amount. But this is not of the 161 reported in 1914 from the other counties without the State; while in 1914, of 144 enrolled, 48 were from Greene County and only 96 from the other counties of the State. Thus the counties lost 17, while the counties of Greene and lost 25, i.e. the counties lost 4 per cent, the counties Greene over 22 per cent. I work now as to the enrollment. In 1911 the Normal, Department enrolled 110 students; in 1914 the enrollment in increased to 365, a good increase national accounting to help over 70 per cent of the population. We have now, with good progress, obtained the OECD tuition students coming in, but by students coming from outside of the State to study at Willesforce University. These students' coming from other States paid tuition, thus showing the encouraging fact: that 'students who are willing and able to pay furnish our increase in this department in the other departments mentioned.' We have, then these independent statements: The free-tuition students at Wilberforce do not increase. The increase of pay-students in the three departments analyzed does occur. The increase of pay and free students together in the Normal Department does not keep pace with the increase of the College and Academic Departments. The number of State Students appears to be stationary at a lower figure than that of 1868. A reason for this is to bell the important work done by Mr. Joiner. So far as I know he has given satisfaction to those who employed him and is filling his place with credit. But to represent the so-called New Wilberforce as the leader under which the three departments grew during the past four years is to shamefully misrepresent facts. It was with the deepest regret that I and many others read this article. In the Crisis. Men and women of highest respectability have been outspoken in their condemnation of it. The feeling will still persist. The article can do no good and may do immense harm. False in its assumptions, baseless in its claims, discourteous in form, apparently it owes much more to 'the feeling that truth and the answering loyalty to fact which should characterize a publication so exalted in aims and standing as The Crisis.

Pastor Bolden said to the earnest, patient seekers for truth who sweltered in the heat to get strength for the task set before them, that life is a double attitude. Immanuelism gives energy and power to this dual tendency. The first attitude is that we thoughtfully explore, investigate, seek and analyze things and theories that we might find an appropriate truth. The second attitude is that when we have a knowledge that truth is manifesting itself in us, we pray the Father for aid, so that we might desire to habitually urge and persuade ourselves to live up to and demonstrate the truth. The failure of the human twisted principle Christianity, with its mixture of error and truth as an antidote for peace, good will and useful life among men, enables the Immanuel to stand out in this day of darkness and judgment, sending forth his light and truth, so that this nation, which keepeth truth, may rule the world. The burden of universal thought is what method of instruction, or what system of training can be given, that will make nations and races love each other as they love themselves. First, we must make world interest as important as family interest; second, we must idealize universal patriotism rather than national patriotism; third, love and life instruction should be given to each, to all, fourth, we should preach and practice the truth that there is but one God, the Father of us all, that we are His children, that Jesus Christ the Emmaucel is the only righteous King for us. To know and demonstrate these things the Emmaucel must become very real in one's life. For him to become very real in one's life the mind must be concentrated, indeed, fixed upon Him. The consciousness, of unseen, but holy, allies must grip one. Our Master laid down a rule of action by which this might be done. He said, "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all other things shall be added unto thee." The kingdom of God and His righteousness denotes supremacy. It is an idea that gives holiness to one's ambition. It is a standard set high before one, demanding the effort of his life; it creates a willing purpose to move, think, in the direction of God and eternal goodness. The Sunday school convened at the usual hour, Superintendent Humphrey conducting the exercises. At the close of the lesson, Mr. Williams of Hoboken, N. J., superintendent of one of the large Sunday schools there, made an excellent talk to the children. The formal opening of the Men's Bible Class, James Hinton, teacher, took place at.2.15 p. m.
