Studying Conditions in Louisiana that Suggestions Might Be Offered to Develop Better Understanding Between the Races and Bring About Improved Conditions. TEACH WHITES THE VALUE OF EDUCATION TO THE NEGRO Declared that Segregation Will Not Solve the Race Problem and that the White Man Can No Longer Ride Into Political Office on the Black]Man's Back--Race has Passed Through Silly Stage. $ \textcircled{10} $ Sponsored to THE NEW YORK AGE New Orleans, La., April 27.—On Tuesday, April 13, Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., came to Louisiana to begin a tour of the state accompanied by a number of representative Negro business and professional men of the state and country. This is the eighth state tour undertaken by Dr. Washington during the past ten years. The Rev. Robert E. Jones, editor of the "Southwestern Christian Advocate," assisted by A. Lawless, superintendent of Congregational work in Mississippi and Louisiana, Waltér L. Cohen, and a committee from various sections of the state, arranged the details of the trip, which included, besides New Orleans, visits to New Iberia, Crowley, Lafayette, Lake Charles, Baton Rouge, Alexandria, Mansfield, Gibsland, Shreveport and other points. This is the first positive movement ever begun in Louisiana by Nexgroes looking to an actual development of the race in matters of education, clean living and better relationship toward the white race. On reaching New Orleans Dr. Washington gave out a statement to the daily press in which he said that his visit to Louisiana was to observe conditions and to try to offer some scheme to help the black race. He said, "I hope also to study the relationship between the white and the black races and to offer suggestions for the development of a better understanding between these races. There are a vast number of white, men and women in the South and in Louisiana who are working quietly for the advancement and the aid of the Negro race, and these are always willing to help us to help ourselves. One of the things people do in order to make the white people believe that education will be of benefit to the Negroes. As soon as we can accomplish this, we shall have arrived at this better understanding for which we are striving." Visits a Negro Community. *Dr. Washington and his party reached New Orleans at 7:50 o'clock. Tuesday morning, and after breakfast at the home of Walter L. Cohen, a public meeting was attended in the public square at Violet, St. Bernard Parish, a community in that parish composed entirely of Negroes. More than a thousand people were present, including many of the prominent white citizens of the parish. Welcome addresses were made by Walter Fisher, Homer Charles and others, and obeyed by H. H. Dunn in his address Dr. Washington characterized his visit to Piolet as one of the most incidents of his trip because of the opportunity in gate to see the development of Negro community building. He said: "I am much pleased to learn that Congressman Estipal has given the benefit of his great influence in the way of encouraging and helping the Negro people to settle on the soil and make of themselves efficient members of society. I urge you to settle down and cease yielding to the temptation of so often and in so many directions a slave is allowed to people in the South. We are now far enough along in our freedom to decide when we are going to live and settle down and become a permanent, healthy part of some community, making a reputation for sobriety, industry and faithfulness. "Here in the South the colored man can buy property in practically every section, and on easy terms, even if it is true that in some cities it has been not proper to pass laws preventing the Negro from buying property in certain sections. Such laws from my point of view are not only unjust but useless, because every black man in the South uses common sense in selecting the place where he will live." School Children Addressed at Burns' Arena. An audience of ten thousand, composed largely of school children, assembled at Burns' Arena at 2 o'clock, and cheered so enthusiastically for the distinguished visitor that Dr. Jones, master of ceremonies, had difficulty in making meill heard. The children joined Robert R. Moten in singing those native plantation melodies that are a native Negro history and soothe and remind the memories of ante helium days, digress and loot the ancient Alexander Paul representing the proto ministers of the district. Dr. Washington was introduced by Dr. Jones sample language, such that the children could understand. He explained what education should mean, promotion of modesty, simplicity in manners, dress, in spending money. He said education made people want to be of service, made them truthful, made them love and honor their parents, obey the law, love and respect their race, and serve the Master. The principal meeting for New Orleans was held Tuesday night at the Dauphine Theatre, when nearly three thousand people filled that edifice from stage to vestibule. Among those seated on the stage were major jazz musicians J. Warren Bahr, New Orleans, and Joseph M. Gwin, intermittent of schools. The Rey, R. E. Jones presided, and music was furnished by a chorus made up from the choirs of Central, Mt. Zion, Westleg Trinity, Tulane, and Sir James Churches, and by Nickersons orchestra. Negro a Much-Discussed ..Individual In beginning his speech Dr. Washington thanked the people for the reception given him, and declared that he was glad to have lived to have the experience afforded that day. Referring to the meeting at Burns' Arena, he said that ten thousand of his people were gathered together and never before had he witnessed such perfect order or attention. Proceeding with his speech, which was replete with epigramms and humorous anecdotes, Dr. Washington said in part: "The Negro has been the most discussed individual in all the world. He has been offered more kinds of advice than has any other race. Our race has one supreme advantage over any other pressing and special invitation; in fact, we were sent for; we had our transportation paid, while I understand that the white race came here in 1402 much against the prospect of the other occupants of this continent. So, having our friends to such trouble to get us here, it would be unkind of us to put them to further trouble to send us away. "No, segregation is not the solution to the Negro problem. There is enough of patience in both races to enable each to work out its own destiny. "No race can advance until it makes up its mind where it will settle down. The time has now come when we must settle down. This applies to hundreds of our people who yield too readily to the temptation to move down. Now is the time to settle down in one place, begin building your life there—to begin building up for yourselves reputation for sobriety, honesty and industry. "All races have their disadvantages; no race has monopoly on advantages. But the time has come when we must emphasize our advantages more and our disadvantages less—when we must advertise our virtues more and our vices and mishaps less. "If a black man burns down a house, the news is flashed around the country; but if a black man builds twenty-five houses, nothing is heard of the achievement. Needed for "Real Work." "The Negro is the main dependent for certain kinds of labor—for real work. I want the Negro to hold on to his share of the common labor. We can do this by proving our fitness for it—that we can do it better than, any one else. The laws of trade and economies are relentless. Just as soon as any individual does one thing better than any one else, no matter how hard that test that minute the demand for his work will be greater than the demand for the work product of any one else. "We must learn to put more value on time. We must work more constantly; our farmers must keep their soil occupied all the year round. Then, too, we must learn to save money. Start a bank account to-morrow morning. "I know it is easy to spend every- thing between Saturday night and Monday morning. But don't try to buy everything that is for sale. The temptation is to spend on superficial show and cheap vanity—to put the $5 hat on the fifty-cent head. Your husbands, let your wives help you to save money. Take your money home—to one home—to one home. Tell your wives your secrets. The ability of a race to save money indicates the advancement of that race in the matter of civilization. Must Care for Homes. - - "Get rid of the car-marks on your property. The white people say that the Negro doesn't know how to care for a home properly. "We find too often that the gate before the Negro home is off its hinges and falling into ruin; the front steps are rocky; the plaster has been chipped off inside, the window panes are broken and stuffed with pillows. Make your houses so that they have no ear-marks. So live that passersby can not tell you about the occupants of your home are black, red, brown, white." "I have come a long way to talk to you, so I might as well be frank. There is too much just criticism against the able and virtuous classes among our people. Make these officers move on; get rid of them. "Too often people fancy that the Jousters and the olders represent our race. Every race is always more powerful than the other. We must either raise his type to our level or be pulled down by it to its level. "I know of all our vices; all of our faults. But every white man will give us credit for standing between the white race and the hardest types of labor. "The last white man has robbed into political office on the black man's back. It used to be the thing for the white man running for office. Well all the terrible things do to the Negro. But that is past. Besides the white man didn't mean the things he said. I have come to the conclusion that when a white man runs for office, he will say anything about any one. (Continued on page 2.)" NINE HOMES OF NEGROES RECEIVE PIANO GIFTS Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. PHILADELPHIA, Pa. April 28. One hundred pianos and organ were given away to Hope House, a sawmill manufacturers, in the celebration of the golden anniversary of the firm. The company drew no color line in deciding upon the poor, deserving families in the number. PLANTATION OVERSEER MONTOMERY, Ala., April 27. According to the testimony of several other convicts in the convict who had leased by the city to a plantation owner, was beaten to death by an overseer, who whipped Lee for more than an hour with a four-inch strap studded with nails. The officials of Montgomery and of the county and State are making an investigation of the case. Physicians who made an examination of Lee's body after death have testified that the beating he received was the cause of his death. CHICAGO DAY AUGUST 28 CHICAGO, IL, April 27—The first act to receive Mayor Thompson's approval was the measure introduced by Alderman Omar Be Prieste, designing Monroe National Half-Century Exposition, to be held in commemoration of the fifteenth year of the Negro's emancipation. The act was given the unanimous vote of Chicago's city council. The act was given to Thompson in signing the act, used the town pen which Governor Dunne used in signing the act creating the Illinois Half-Century Commission. SENTENCE SUSPENDED IN "CLANSMAN" CASE Howard Schaeffle, the young white man who gave vent to his indignation at the vicious misrepresentations of the Negro as shown in the picture version of Dixon's "Chansman," now showing at the Liberty Theatre, in throwing eggs at the screen, appeared before Justice Duell on Monday morning of this week, and was tried for disorderly conduct. His defense was conducted by Counsel James C. Thomas, Jr., who succeeded in procuring a suspension of sentence from the judge. The prosecution was in the hands of Assistant District Attorney Hill. CAROLINA RUNNER DODGED HOWARD DREW Scribble Tu, New York, Acr PHILADELPHIA, Pa. April 28—All the way from Columbia, S. C., came Oscar Plaxico from the University of Carolina, indeed—to represent that institution in the athletic carnival last week by the University of Pennsylvania. His name indicates that he himself perhaps, certainly his ancestors—came from a country where, freedom of action is unknown, Since he is in the land of liberty, however, he breathes another atmosphere, and given an opportunity to exercise (free will, he proceeds to out-Herd Herod. He was entered in the spirt to compete against Howard P. Drew, the Negro, world champion at 100 yards, and it was said that Mr. Plaxico might be able to run second to the speedy Negro champion. Oscar saw it in another light, however, and wanted to be first or nothing. He reminded the authorities in control of the meet that Drew drew, because a white South Carolina even one with a funny name could compete against a Negro. He could not be accomodated, however, and so, the man with the strange patronymy with drew. Never would he risk defeat by a Negro! Subscribers Urged to Hasten Payments— Looking For Harlem Site for Building For Colored Branch—Craftmen and Men With Trains Being Enrolled by Urban League Henry M. Orte, general secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association of New York, in talking with an Ace representative, stated that in the erection of a building for the colored branch association, now located at 223 West 534 street, every considerer of the world should be in the employment of Negro workers, and in meagling the needs and desires of the members. John r. Jackson, 1328 Broadway, has been selected as the architect, and building committees have been selected by the city association board of directors and the committee of management of the 53d street branch. A suitable location is being sought for a Harlem and Mr. Orme says it is intended to create a home and center for young colored men, the benefit of which will extend over the years to come. The National Urban League, 2303 Seventh avenue, is enrolling all the colored craftsmen and men with trades who can be reached for the purpose of securing a list of workmen who can be employed in the erecting of the building for colored men, and also in the building of the women's home which is secured from the land and subscribed in the city. Urgent appeals are being made to subscribers to this fund, who have not remitted. That they make immediate payments, not in whole, then in installments, even of the smallest amounts. The beginning of work on the building for colored men is contingent upon the collection of these subscriptions, and the slow collection of pledges is alone responsible for the delay in the work. The work started on the buildings for the Bowery branch, 8 East 3d street, and the Union branch, 161st street and Washington avenue, the Bronx. BOROUGH PRESIDENT MARKS WILL PRESIDE Dr Booker T.

E. Church, who has lately returned to the African headquarter to the Republic, Liberia, after a visit to the United States. Bishop Scott's letter contains some interesting information about the boat and people which Chief Sam took away from this country last year. Bishop Scott's Letter. To the editor: The Age; I came from the States of Monroe, Liberty and the American mishair and find the Americans of Liberia pegging away its usual. Liberia herself is experimenting very trying times and she feels the effect of the war almost as Revolt as the war. The revenue derived from the Import and Export duties constitutes the principal support of the government and both these have been sent to the German steamers regularly. Many of the officials have not kept pursuit. In times of peace the German steamers literally swarmed on the West Coast of Africa and Liberia to house the best German passenger steamers called at Monroe regularly on their trips outward and homeward. Then, while we did not have as many English as a goodly number, Many of these two classes of steamers brought cargo from Europe and on their homeward trip were loaded with palm oil, libera, mahogany coffee and other goods from the coffee from the natives of the bush or the civilized farmer. As matters now stand it is extremely refreshing to party who leaves part of the coast to visit another can have no definite idea when he will be able to return. Not only is this the case, but a more reliable send mail to, or receive mail from other parts of the civilized world. The food problem is a serious one for while it is evident that our farmers are less than for many years, it is nevertheless a fact that we are compelled to import from the outside world many things we eat that are not produced Chief Sam in Africa. I am sure your readers* will be interested to learn something of Chief Sam in his trip from America to his destination in Africa. After crossing the ocean, although his steamer was flying the English flag, he was caped with a rifle and was on the water of Sierraulone as a prize of war. Here after considerable delay and annoyance, by the assistance of interested friends, his steamer was released and eventually continued her trip traveling the coast of Africa. While in Sierraulone he met the public hall of the city which was attended by a number of prominent citizens, and a large concourse of people generally. The purpose of the meeting seems to have been to secure subscriptions and to enable him to enlarge the scope of usefulness of the same. It would seem that some highly interesting and instructive addresses, were delivered, but as far as I know, no money was large. Freetown, Sierraulone, is a large city with a history of original Sierraulones have proven themselves shrewd traders and not a few of them good business men. I include the women as I dare say there are at least as many of them traders as there are wealthy and most of the valuable property of Freetown is owned by them. The principal weakness of the Sierrareale traders is that they are afraid of each other. And I mean exactly what I say, for they are that afraid that do not recall any business firm among them, in which two or more are cooperating. Every person seems to stand for himself and live in a world of his own. This may to some extent be the result of their superstition, for I believe they are emphatically at this time. In recent years he been an immense influx of Syrians into Freetown and one cannot help but notice that many of the small shops hitherto occupied by Sierrareale traders change hands, took a long walk through the district, which there are scores of these small shops and I saw so many of them occupied by Syrian traders that I was led to ask why Sierrarealians were vexing them. I was told that Syrians by forced them out of the district. And when I asked why the Syrians able to sell cheaper I was told that they combined their capital to buy goods, and purchased a large quantity of cash at a cheaper rate, while each little one sold extra buys for himself. If I dared to take on to cite other instances I could tell. Education Free? Age Scholarship Plan ARNEST ABOUT SECURING NEW YORK AGE WILL WITH THE MEANS.

American Army Officers Employed on Frontier, Police Force Giving Good and Efficient Service—Major Young Popular. Dr. Ernest Lyon, Liberian Consult-General in Interview With Age, Representative, Ventilates the Palsity of Rumors Pot in Circulation from Imminent Diplomatic Sources. Dr. Ernest Lyon, Liberian Consult General for the United States was in New York during the week on official business in relation to Liberian finances with the banking firm of Kuln, Locb C. Company. In answer to a reporter of The Aces, who called upon him at his hotel, he admitted that he was at the State Department in Washington on Friday last in conference with the department authorities on several important matters touching the future of Liberia. One matter said Dr. Lyon, was to correct false rumors current in Liberia addressed by Amster Commune, that there were native nippers in the interior of the Republic. That there was dissatisfaction among the American army officers in the frontier police force, and that T. McCauls Stewart had been removed from the supreme court bench for political reasons. These rumors, it seems, were circulated by parties unfriendly to the Republic and are without foundation. The object for the circulation is well known in diplomatic circles. The effect, if attained in injury to the state, the government of Liberia is justified, therefore, in correcting the erroneous impression created by these constant rumors circulated with libelous intent. American, Army Officers Satisfied. "No, there is no internal trouble. The interior is quiet. The thing that gave rise to the rumor of an uprising, was the cold-blooded murder of one of the allied chiefs of the Republic, whose murderer the government is making every effort to overtake and punish. "As to dissatisfaction among the American army officers employed by the Liberian government in the frontier police force here in the Department at Washington, which should rightly be in possession of such facts if there were any, have none. Captain Bullard is coming home of his own vollition. Major Young, the American military attacke to the legation, and who has acted in an advisory capacity to the war department is held in high repute with the government, and is honored and respected by all the people of the nation. The minister of the removal of T. McCauls Stewart from the supreme court bench is purely a matter of internal regulation with which no foreign state can have anything to do. The rumor was abroad that the government at Washington would approach the Liberian government with a view to his reinstalment. Although none versed in international affairs would give any credence to such a report, nevertheless, its effect on Liberia, growing out of interview between the American Minister Robert A. McCauley and the secretary of state, justified the Liberian government through its diplomatic agent in the United States to ascertain the attitude of the United States on the premises. Assurances from Washington. "Upon this subject, I am assured by the authorities at Washington that its attitude, and relation in this particular incident — was misinterpreted. It has never been the intention or purpose of the government at Washington to interfere with the domestic affairs of the republic; and therefore any suggestions looking to the restatement of the justice is unthinkable from the view point of diplomacy and international deorum. The removal having been pretty widely accepted and the United States brought a number of quiries to the state department. The department in order that it might be possible it cared to answer the enquirers instructed the Minister Resident at Monrovia in an informal way common in the realms of diplomacy to get the facts. That is all there is to it. Liberia regards the United States as her best friend, and is always willing and ready to ask and to accept advice and counsel; to compel to ignore state, would be compelled to ignore difference that would tend to embarrass her duet of her domestic affairs. I am glad of this interview for the benefit of the readers of your great journal." B. T. WASHINGTON ON TOUR OF LOUISIANA spoke just a few words of greeting as the hour was late. The Alexandria meeting was held at Shiloh Baptist uable barn and contents. The estimated loss was $1,000 which was covered by insurance. The united forternal orders gave a HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL BY JING WALKER STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR “BEAUTY” (Consisted from page 1.1) The Negroes of the rural districts say asked me to say to the white people: Help us to better schools. Many white persons don't believe in Negro education. Many white people are afraid to help them. Negro education for they don't know where it will lead him. Up to a few years ago we did not know, either. But every race and, every individual must pass through the silly age. We have passed through our silly period. We are anxious to lead honest, upright lives. If you white people want us to be better, more reliable laborers, you must help us to increase our wants. When a man only want is a drink of whiskey and a chew of tobacco, he doesn't have to labor very conscientiously until he earns these commodities. But when the Negro learns to want books and clean homes, and newspapers and pictures and decent clothing then he must work to get them. He can only learn these better wants through advanced education. Ignorance is the most costly thing produced by the South. "The Negro is ready to aid his community and his country; he is ready to lay down his life for the defense of both if necessary. Already we own in the South twenty million acres of land. We want to be judged by the best of our people, not by the worst. The southern white men deserve a lot of praise for helping us. "But the Negro is up against a pretty stiff standard of judgment; his achieve-ments must be coveted to those of the white and farther-advanced race in the world—the white race. He must be measured by the white man's yard stick. And the Negro race is only fifty years old." At the conclusion of the meeting, a banquet was tendered the Washington party, in the basement of Central Congregational Church, with Aristide Dejoie as toastmaster. Toasts were responded to by the Rev. H. H. Dunn, J. S. Williams, Dr. F. M. Nelson, Miss Hattie Fagan, S. W. Greene, supreme chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, J. Madison Vance, Alexander Paul, the Rev. R. E. Jones, A. Pawless, with response by Dr. Washington. At 11:30 o'clock, Tuesday night the party entrained over the Southern Pacific for New Iberia, where the first stop was made on Wednesday morning. Dr. Washington's Party. Out-of-town members of Dr. Washington's party included Major A.-R. M. Moten of Hampton Institute, W. T. B. Williams, need agent of the Slater and Jeanes Fund boards, Emmett J.

Received by thousands of his race at the Southern Pacific Depot at New Iberia on Wednesday, April 14, and leading a parade of prominent Negroes and hundreds of colored school children through crowded streets, Dr. Booker T. Washington's welcome to New Iberia was an apt demonstration of the fact that his wise advice to his race is appreciated by both black and white. The program carried out on the grounds of the Howe Colored Institute was a follow-up of the Emerson school children, prayer, the Rev. B. Lovington, address on behalf of the white citizens Portens R. Burke; introduction of Dr. Washington, Professor, Jonas Henderson. In his address Dr. Washington said that his trip to Louisiana and his reception in New Orleans, and New Iberia, were more than he had expected; that the educational conditions of his race in south Louisiana were agreeably surprising and he urged the firmer cementing of the agreeable relations already existing between the races. He advised his colored listeners to think twice before leaving the farms for the cities. "Back to the soil my brothers," he said. The colored man is eminently fitted for agricultural work. You have the finest soil in the world and earnest application of your natural gifts will solve the economic problem. The South, Dr. Washington said, was the place for the colored man as his chances for success are greater there and the best friend of the industrious colored man is his white neighbor. A short reception was held and at 11:30 the party left for Crowley. Big Crowd at Alexandria. Crowley, Lafayette and Lake Charles were on Wednesday's schedule also. A twenty-minute speech from the rear platform was given at Lafayette and the night was spent at Lake Charles. The greater part of the day on Thursday was spent at Baton Rouge, where Dr. Washington spoke twice. The first address was at Southern University to a large audience composed of the students and both white and colored citizens, and the second was in the public square to an audience of 8,000. What was said to be the largest crowd met on the trip at any station was at Alexandria station late Thursday afternoon, when fully 4,000 people, white and colored, gathered to welcome the Washington party. A temporary, stand in the park opposite the Texas and Marine depot was utilized and Dr. Washington and party were escorted by a detachment of police, which had to fight a way to the structure. A great outburst of enthusiasm greeted the Tuskegeean, the crowd shouting and applauding and waving American flags.

THE NEGRO FARMER A Paper That Helps People to Become Better Farmers is an Aid to the Church, the School and to the Secular and Religious Papers. 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."

The enterprise of The Age, in establishing its Scholarship Plan, which is set forth in another column, is bringing a response from our readers beyond what we expected. On the day after the issue of last week's paper, the mail brought in a half dozen inquiries, and since then the number has increased with each mail. For many years, several of the great white periodicals have, by similar plans, placed within the hands of white young men and women the opportunity to secure an education, an opportunity that could be practically and easily worked out; but The Age is the first Negro publication to attempt such a stupendous undertaking. Any earnest colored boy or girl, young man or young woman can, by taking advantage of our Scholarship Plan, secure the best education that our schools afford. Read about this plan in another, column. Full information will be sent to any reader upon request. LET US HAVE "MOON-LIGHT SCHOOLS." Let us by 1920 so Reduce the Illiteracy Among Negroes That It Will Not Be Greater Then It Is Among Whites. Winchester, Ky., Has Set the Pace and Shown How This May Be Done. If all the educational and other forces at work for Negro uplift will combine and work along the lines that have been indicated by the "Moonlight" School at Winchester, Kentucky, by 1920 illiteracy among the Negroes of the United States can to a large extent be eliminated. In six weeks in this one community in Kentucky 203 Negroes left the ranks of the illiterate and joined the great army of literates. Every teacher in Negro schools should follow the example of Professor J. H. Garvin, principal of the Colored Schools of Winchester and see to it that the illiterates in his community, old and young, are gathered into a "Moonlight" school and there prepared to be graduated into the ranks of the literate. An account of this first "Moonlight" School Commencement among Negroes and, also, by the way, the first in the State of Kentucky, is thus described by "The Lexington Leader, which says: WINCHESTER, Ky, March 31—The first "moonlight" school commencement in the State was held at the opera house here last night, when 203 colored pupils left the illiterate class and received certificates at the end of six weeks of study. The address of the occasion was delivered by Mrs. Gora Wilson Stewart, originator of the "moonlight" school idea and head of the Kentucky Illiteracy Commission. She was introduced by Lucien Beckner, who also made a brief address. Prof. J. H. Garvin of the colored school, presided. Original poems written by Henry Allen Lane of College Hill, Madison County, were read, and the prize of $5, offered by an unnamed friend of the colored people for proficiency in studies was awarded to Naggie Robinson. A large number of white people of Wingchester were present. There are in the United States over 2,000,000 Negroes who are unable to read and write. The majority of these are, of course, in the Southern States. According to the census of 1910 the number of illiterates per thousand in the former slave states were: Delaware, 6,345; Maryland, 42,289. THE ART OF LIVING The Latin, both of Europe and the question as to whether the people United States know how to live, life, either in Latin countries or under they will find that this is not.

The Latin, both of Europe and South America, has often raised the question as to whether the people of England, Germany and the United States know how to live. If those who have studied Latin life, either in Latin countries or through Latin literature, will consider they will find that this is not an idle question. We quote the following words of Dr. Santayana, an eminent Spanish professor, given as a reason why the Spaniards favor the allies in the present war: That place in the sun which Germany wants for herself collectively, every Latin by instinct claims for himself individually; and he would know how to till it, being well versed in hasking. Odious to such a temperament must be the heavy mind of the Teutons, their pedantry and meddlesomeness their sentimental idealism, their emphatic pathos, their grotesque taste, all their pompous, pedagogic, arrogant, elusive ways. The happy natural pagan does not need so much paranormal to crush his genius.

It is not only the foolish ruinous armaments that he depreciates, but the pressure on everybody of aimless tasks and struggles, the foolish romantic will making so many damnable faces and arousing so many damnable passions. He knows better how to live. The knowledge of the art of living is best exemplified in France, and the ignorance of it is best exemplified in the United States. In this country everything is always at high tension and everybody is always on the dead run, and what purpose? Is our well-being and happiness thereby increased? We boast a great deal about our American hustle. A Frenchman has very aptly described hustle as doing a thing badly while making a fuss over it. At any rate, they do most things better in France and with less noise about it. And one Frenchman suggests the story of another Frenchman, who while in New York visited a business friend in his office downtown. The New Yorker was glad to see the Frenchman and invited him to take dinner at his home. After the office was closed they started up town. The New Yorker rushed his friend into a subway local; at the Grand Central station he rushed him out and into an express; at 72nd St. he rushed him out of the express into another local. When they arrived at the house they sat around and chatted for half an hour until dinner was served. After dinner they sat and smoked and talked. Then the Frenchman asked the question, "Why did we have to take the train to get here?" His host replied, "Well, you see, we saved three minutes." The Frenchman questioned again. "And, what are we going to do with them?" The American's further reply is not recorded. The American people are the victims of hustle even when they are off duty. They hustle even when they are pleasuring. Baseball with the thermometer at 90° in the shade, and fox-trotting all night are fair examples. When it comes to the real art of living, of getting the greatest happiness, contentment and well-being out of life, to the development, cultivation and satisfaction of both mind and body, the Teutonic and the so-called Anglo-Saxon peoples have much to learn from the Latins.

And, sooner or later, our white fellow citizens all over the country must and will come to this method of dealing with the problem; the method of sympathetic co-operation. They cannot forever remain actively unjust or even passively so. The consideration of their own best interests, if not ours, will demand a change. It is interesting, in reading Miss Johnson's introduction to note her catalog of our virtues. It is not a complete catalog, and it is not likely that she meant it as such, but what an array there is! "Loyalty, patience, sympathetic kindliness, and artistic instinct." Has any of the races coming to these shores to help make up the American nation of the future brought a finer contribution than that? The thought brings back to mind the famous admonition to our white fellow countrymen given years ago by Dr. Washington at Atlanta, "Let down your buckets!" JACK JOHNSON'S MANNERS. Elsewhere we publish a letter from a correspondent who disagrees with one or two things said in our article, "The Passing of Jack Johnson." He takes exception to our statement that Johnson's "bad breaks" affected his popularity. Johnson's "bad breaks" consisted not so much in what he did as in his way of doing it. It was not so much a matter of morals as of manners. And we repeat that it not been for his spectacular method of arousing antagonism, his many likeable qualities and his peerless ability as a fighter would have made him more generally popular. While we maintain that every man should have the right to make any woman his wife who wishes to marry him, yet we have no hesitation in saying that Johnson's popularity among colored people would have been far greater had he confined his ventures in matrimony to women of his own race. Our correspondent shows a sad deficiency in his knowledge of pugilistic history when he ascribes the popularity of George Dixon and Joe Gans to the fact that they were men who could be easily defeated by white men. Dixon and Gans, each of them, fought and defeated more white men than Johnson. In fact, both of them were unconquerable in their class until they were beaten by Father Time. Without saying that Peter Jackson, George Dixon and Joe Gans had better morals than Jack Johnson, we must, at least, admit that they had better manners. But there is another side to this whole question. In spite of Johnson's bad "breaks" and bad manners, we do not believe he merits the sort of treatment he has received. Johnson is an exile from his native land because of the prosecution brought against him under the Mann White Slave Act. In the first place, the interpretation and execution of the White Slave Act developed into something far different from the intent of the original law. The act was passed for District of Columbia, 10,814; Virginia, 148,950; West Virginia, 10,347; North Carolina, 156,308; South Carolina, 226,242; Georgia, 398,639; Florida, 59,503; Koe's tucky, 57,900; Tennessee, 98,541; Alabama, 265,628; Mississippi, 259,438; Arkansas, 86,398; Louisiana, 254,148; Texas, 124,618. national organizations, business leagues, and other forces should unite in their crusade against Negro illiteracy.

In every community a special effort should be made to have "Moonlight" Schools and in this way get rid of the illiteracy, both of children and adults. the purpose of breaking up what was thought to be an organised traffic in women. It was designed against men who profited by prostitution. It grew up to be an instrument of blackmail in the hands of unscrupulous adventuresresses. Men guilty of mere escapades were brought to face the serious charge of white slavery. These practices grew to such an extent that a general protest caused the law to be amended so as to include the woman in the charge; since that was done white slavery has become an almost unknown crime. As to Johnson's case, there are reasons to believe that the charge was a frame-up. Evidently, there were those who surmised that if the "white hopes" couldn't put him out, the white courts could; and it appears that their surmise was correct. Johnson was convicted upon the lone testimony of a dissolute woman, who swore that she prostituted herself at his orders and for his profit. To anyone familiar with Jack Johnson's vanity regarding his reputation as a sportsman, his pride in being champion of the world, and the amount of money he handled and spent lavishly, this is unbelievable. In spite of whatever his faults may be, Johnson is entitled to a fair show. We, as a race, are less to be excused for-indulging in ruffianism than any other group in this-country; and for the simple reason that we ourselves are so often made the victims of ruffianism we should do nothing that sanctions it. There are some colored boys and men in Harlem who think it is a great thing to see how tough they can be. They are not only a public nuisance, but they are a detriment to the race. It is mean business to jump on a lone Italian peddler and beat him and break up his stand. It is also mean business for a crowd of colored men to stand around and encourage, if only by laughter, such actions. It leaves little room for us to protest against the mob violence of which we are so often victims if we go about practicing the same sort of thing upon other people on a smaller scale. It is the duty of colored men to do all they can to discourage acts of ruffianism on the part of those of the race in Harlem who think it is a mark of distinction to be tough. THE ANDERSON TESTIMONIAL The colored citizens of Greater New York are preparing to tender a great dinner to Ex-Collector Anderson as a testimonial in appreciation of the distinguished manner in which for ten years he acquitted himself in the most important position ever held by a Negro in this country under the Federal Government'. Mr. Anderson is more than deserving of this tribute, for in his long and honorable service he not only distinguished himself, but reflected credit upon the whole race. AN OPINION ABOUT COL ORED NEW YORKERS Mr. Will Marion Cook, the music writer, in a letter to one of the daily papers of the city criticizing the recent concert of Negro music at Carnegie Hall, had the following to say New York is in no noise, representative of Negro culture and accomplishment. At the present time it is impossible to collect in New York, fifty voices with sufficient, musical intelligence to render the works of Coleridge-Taylor. Here Negroes have no home life, no cultured environment, no real opportunity for study. It is quite evident that Mr. Cook did not enjoy the concert, but it may not be so clear to colored New Yorkers why he felt called upon to speak of them in such a decidedly "nawsty" manner. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY Jack Johnson's Popularity. To the Editor of The Age— I have colored editors and writers comment with any degree of dignity and wisdom on the recent Johnson-Willard flight. Unfortunately for us we are not colorists, but we have a manner of thinking and writing regarding matters which directly and vitally concern us. When the white man expresses an opinion that this or that opinion is correct, he is to his own particular whim or prejudice, far too many otherwise responsible colored persons promptly chirp in with "me, too," without once that opinion is founded on the white man's desire to be just, or to justify some petty prejudice and hatred against the colored race. In every few colored writers to rise above the popular white opinion of this Johnson-Willard fight and to speak of it as it actually affects the race, on the two races, regardless of unreasoning prejudices of either race. I felt assured that The Ages would give the public just such a clear and forceful statement as the situation described in the book, and I disappointed. Indeed, your comment is so morally brave, concise and concluding that I cannot refrain from exclaiming that one instance you make a statement which seems to me wholly at variance with the rest of your editorial, as well, with the palpable facts of the situation. I refer to your assertion that: "Had it not been for certain bad personal breaks he (Jack Johnson) could have been the most popular idol-guilism ever produced. How you ever reached such (pardon me for saying) absurd conclusion in the midst of such an otherwise masterly argument is a mystery to me. By popular idol you, of course, refer to both races. I feel like dogmatizing to the extent of saying that Johnson was unpopular with the masses of Negroes (as puglists are popular), because, and almost solely because, he was unpopular with the masses of white people; and that he was unpopular with the masses of white people because, and almost solely because, he once gave to James John Jeffries the smallest trophies he had ever received. From that day this type of sore-headed whites has made it an issue between race and race. So demand has been made that a morally decent quiltist, recordless of race, rescue the noble title from dis-solid Jack Johnson. Instead of that it has been "the white hope," the "honor of the white race," and so on, to the point of disgust. Had Johnson, he is a saint there is nothing to justify the conclusion that this popularity would have been much greater. He was about all that any one could reasonably hope for in any age, but now he is the prime of puristism a clean fearless and consistent sportman. Any man above 30 years of age will recall the leproous moral life that was followed by one man who was a victim of the hero that the roped arena has ever produced. Yet there was no time then, and has been no time since, when this moral lepro was not as popular among white people as Johnson is unpopular. And yet there are those who say it is a question of morals. I cite these facts not to justify Johnson or to be interested in the interest of simple justice, and to disprove your assertion, that, with their present tendency to be narrow, biased and unportmanlike, the white race is more superior than Negro for merely proving his physical superiority over any white man in the world. And in this connection I would emulate between George Dixon, Jog, Gans, and such men, whom thousands of white men would have found it easy to defeat, and Jack Johnson, whose measure no longer was the rub. There and there only was the rub. JAMES S. STEMONS. HOT SPRINGS, VA. Hot Springs, Va.-Services at Smith Chapel Sunday night, April 25, wore special gowns.

Excellent Choline, Moderate Excellent Choline, Moderate For information write C. A. BRECKENRIDGE, Averra, L. I. Prop. (BY LESTER A. WALTON) "HIS EXCELLENCE, THE PRESIDENT," who is, visiting the Lafayette Theatre for one week only, and whose domain and subjects are more mythical than real, is being hospitably treated by Harlem theatregores, who are wending their way to the Lafayette in large numbers to pay him honor. It is gratifying to observe the enthusiastic and cordial manner in which Harlemites effervesce for this visitor, for lately all ebullitions from colored citizens of the Harlem section whenever a President's name is mentioned have been more unkind than benevolent, more hostile than friendly. "His Excellency, the President," is enjoying a larger share of popularity than last season when he paid his first visit to Harlem, which he meritoriously deserves. The comedy is more unctuous and more contagious, the musical numbers are more inspiring and the dancing more animating. Then, too, the principals display more snap and vigor and the members of the chorus seem to catch the spirit and go through their numbers with a vim. The opinion is general that "His Excellency, the President," is stronger in every way than a year ago. In this era of colored-theatricals, when we are compelled to become reminiscent and look into the past when colored musical shows were in the noonday of their existence, if we desire to enthuse, it is a source of pleasure to find a company really making marked advancement along artistic lines. Many New Yorkers who have not been-any too enthusiastic over Salem Tutt Whitney and his associates are now beginning to sit up and take notice, and are commenting favorably on their ability to entertain. A new colored comedian in musical comedy, such as S. Tutt Whitney, has mountains of obstacles to overcome. In the first place, he is handicapped by comparisons, the average theatrueor usually viewing his work with that of some successful comedian, although their methods may be vastly different; and, while the public not, infrequently scoffs at the imitator, on the other hand it invariably has in mind some favorite laugh manufacturer when these comparisons are made. The path of a new colored comedian, blessed with originality, is, therefore, a rocky one in the beginning, for he has to firstly undergo the trying ordeal of comparison long before the public wakes up to the fact that his mode of provoking merriment is diverting and acceptable. As a comedian S. Tutt Whitney is slowly but surely effecting an entrance into the good graces of the New York public. Instead of comparing him with colored comedians of the past, it is commencing to thoroughly appreciate that there is in our midst one who has ways to make people laugh that are peculiar to himself. S. Tutt Whitney wears funny clothes, but, unlike many colored comedians who seem to labor under the impression that to-day funny clothes make a comedian, he depends mainly upon his lines and situations to tickle the funny bone of the theatrerego. As long as S. Tutt Whitney continues to display the intelligence that has characterized his stage efforts in recent years, there is every reason to believe, he will continue to progress as a merry-maker J. Homer Tutt is entitled to the prize, however, for showing the greatest improvement of any member of the Smart Set Company. On his previous visits to New York he pleased in his musical numbers, made a favorable impression as a dancer and excited admiration as a representative of the sartorial art. But in his dialogue he always seemed a trilie tame and subdued, failing to show that briskness of spirit and animation required of a straight man. But now he fairly bristles with vivacity. The fact that J. Homer Tutt, too, is a student, is the correct answer to why he is becoming a most acceptable straight man. Surely the Smart Set Company is an A-1 "developing company," for among the stars to shine brighter than ever is Blanche Thompson, one of the most promising colored girls on the stage. Blessed, with a soprano voice of considerable sweetness, which she knows how to use, Miss Thompson is also fortunate in being able to speak lines and dance, all of which she does artistically and pleasingly. If Blanche Thompson does not make a big name for herself some day it will be from lack of discretion, not lack of ability. The dancing end of "His Excellency, the President," has been greatly strengthened by the presence of O. D. Carter and George Boutte, former vaudevillians, who, with Sam Gardner, provide some lively eccentric steps. Diminutive Hattie Akers, with her big contralto voice, continues to attract favorable attention, and a comedienne is getting better and better. William Bahe) Townsend is an agreeable surprise as *His Excellency, O. Saymore*, and in the duel with *Dad White*-(S. Tutt Whitney) shows up to advantage. Others' in the cast are Greensburg, Holmes in *Mosieur La Fritz; Helen Harper as Mandy Simpkins, Erank Jackson as Senator Comeback, Will Dixon as Enuff Dessert, Ethiel Marshall as Mrs. James Brown-Douglass, Pauline Parker as Lady Winterbottann, Emma Jackson as Letter Dance, and Babe Brown. I shall remain clamlike relative to the scenery, as I was told by a well-known colored performer a few days ago that in my dual capacity of dramatic critic and theatrical manager, it is nowadays indiscreet for me to criticize too severely anything in connection with the Lafayette Theatre. Of course, I refused to entertain a similar view, but in this instance his advice will be heeded and I shall perform the same functions as does the letter "e" in cake—remain silent. Vaudeville and motion pictures are the vogue nowadays, but a musical comedy such as "His Excellency, the President," is certainly a relief now and then from the usual order of things. As a spring tonic I highly recommend it, as it is bound to make you feel much better, and besides, you will have the rare privilege of seeing the only colored show that remained on the road during the entire season of 1914-15, as well as one of the few shows—colored or white—that remained any length of time this season in the Southland and lived to tell the tale. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS: Dvorak's "New World Symphony," based on a number of Negro melodies, rendered by the New York Symphony Chapel under the leadership of Walter Damrosch, was latenched to by a number of colored people at the Auditorium-Armory.

Lackey Grant is soon to appear in a dancing act, assisted by Ida Forcene and Alice Ramsey. Marshall & Cumby are appearing on the big time in the East with big success. It is reported that Miller & Lyle will head a big summer show. CHAPLIN AT LAFAYETTE. Commencing next week, the Lafayette Theatre management will set aside every Wednesday evening as "Charlie Chaplin" night, when photo plays in which Chaplin-makes merry will be shown. At present the Chaplin comedy pictures are the sensation of the motion picture world, and it is the aim of the Lafayette management to give its patrons the latest in vaudeville and photo.plays. GEO. BROWN DEAD George W. Brown, vice-president of the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association, died Thursday, April 21, and arrangements for his funeral were made by the C. V. B. A.

TEMPOS VERNAL FETE A night of pleasure and enjoyment was had by the crowd that packed Manhattan Casino Thursday night, April 22, when at its Vernal Fete the Tempo Club presented Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle, the drumming contest between the percussion kings, the musician, and the compering dancing and a program which continued "from the time you arrive to the time you leave." Having been informed that the Castle's two engagements in the city would make them late the public waited patiently until a.m. when Castle was billed with an applause. Immediately Mr. Castle conducted the drummer's contest with Buddle Gilmore, Karl Kenny, (Hattle-Ax) and Sl Moore competing. The crowd decided that Sl Moore was the most fancy drummer. The audience was then favored by a drum solo by Mr. Castle, dancing exhibition by Mr. and Mrs. Castle followed. The patrons wished for more and that many had come mainly for the purpose of seeing their exhibition is stitched by the fact that when their dance was flushed the great hall had begun to epity. "Dancing from the time you arrive to the time you leave," was almost literally carried out. The great Tempel Club or orchestra furnished one dance number after another without any wads unless a number on the entertaining program was be reordered. One patron was heard to say "if you stop on your dancing partner's foot tonight you can blame it on the orchestra. Any one who couldn't dance by that mule needs to see a dancing master. If there had been more quiet during the rendering of the program those who do not dance could have enjoyed it more. As it was, the frolic was a success. Clef Club Notes.

MINNOWINGS OF SPORT CAUGHT BY HOOKS Word comes to me, that the Alpha Physical Culture Club was admitted. I am going to the Saturday. I arrive their track captain, Sing Goode, Monday morning and he confirmed the report; also added that they expect a steady increase of athletic material, so that by the middle of the summer they expect to be able to contend with the best of them. I see no reason why Alpha should not be up with the leaders. So fact, the dictionary says it should come first. The Spartans, was seen up at McCombs - Dam Park Sunday morning, which all goes to prove that there still is left some interest in the Braves. However, I might suggest to the Braves that one man cannot be expected to hold up the name of a club by himself. Little Phillips has shown himself to be a coming youngster and the company of a few members on their track would be considerable encouragement. A member of the race who could not resist the magnetic attraction of Harlem was none other than Howard Drew, who stopped over on his way to Providence, where he is billed to run.

Jim Creed, the Salem-Crescent cross country captain, was one of the few from the Metropolis to make the big splash in games. He was accompanied by his wife, who also is an ardent enthusiast. The boy Moore, who beat Dismond, was the same Billy Moore, formerly of DeWitt Clinton High School. The blonde haired Princeton flyer was always an athlete, so Dismond, who is not so experienced, need not take his diving lessons. Little P. P. Moore has announced that the Salem-Crescent meet will be held on June 27. They will give diamond prizes as usual. All athletes of the Metropolitan District were grieved at the news of the death of their true and tried friend, Leslie Polhard. More grieved were not attendors that they could not attend his funeral as his body was being sent to Chicago. Franklin Field, Philadelphia, was the scene of many deeds Friday and Saturday of last week, among which was the phenomenal victory of Howe, who was pitted against the pick of nineteen colleges among whom were such men as Baranick, western intercollegate 220-yard champion; Iryn T. Howe, national 220-yard champion, and J. Patterson, intercollegiate 100-yard champion; and the record of the record of 94.5 seconds. Drew failed to do better than ten seconds for the distance but that such men as have been enumerated, along with exactly forty others were from one to four-fifths of a second after him in the first and an almost he seen in danger, of being been by any member of his field. The failure, of Irving T. Howe (Colby College) who beat Alvah Meyer the Irish American A. C. tyer here this past winter, to take a place was the disappointment of the meet. It had been supposed by Drew himself that Howe was the one man that would make him equal or break the record. However, one cannot say that Howe did not perform well, for he easily from his heat and took second to fourth in his try to out to fourth place in the finals. As was predicted in last week's Age some good material was unearthed.

Only one member of the Granger family showed in competition, that being the elder, Randolph, who ran the last leg of the trip for Durant. He did not leave for Durant, but the leaders were nearly a quarter of a lap, ahead of him which was too much of a handicap for him to overcome in a half mile. This was probably his last time to show in a Penn. He was the only one to some of the local tracks soon. Leo, his brother, was the sub on the Dartmouth team. Drew Breaks State Record for 110 Yds. Howard P. Drew, running as a representative of the law school of Southern California University, covered 110 yards in 11 seconds at Providence, R. L., April 26, at a meet held the Tues. at the University School of Medicine. The record, a new one for the State, is one-fifth of a second behind the American mark. Drew was nursing a bad leg caused by a pulled tendon received at Philadelphia Saturday, and the sprint was made on a measured course one foot two inches lower at the start of the run. The third foot, Court Brown, University track coach; Charles Broadhunt, a veteran timer of thirty years' experience, and Jack Cashman, a former athlete, were timers. SUNDAY BASEBALL. LINCOLN GIANTS NOT SCORED-ON. Cyclone Joe Williams lived up to his name last Sunday, when he shot 'em over the plate at Olympic Field with such speed that he had Donlin's All Stars swinging wildly in an effort to win the titles of in the Olympics. Williams who was in splendid form, fanned thirteen of the Lincoln's players, and pitched the Lincoln Giants to a 1-to-0 victory. The winning run was scored in the fourth inning.

On Morehouse Campus, Atlanta, Morehouse featured the State Normal' aggregation of Nashville by the score of 9 to 5. Nance was on the mound for Morehouse and not a man scored for Nashville until the Morehouse hit the ball hard from the beginning and by the sixth innning had piled up enough lead to get a win, a comfortable lead and ultimate victory, although the run-getting was kept up until the end of the eighth. In the ninth the visitors scored five runs on the eighth and nine hits, caught the little catcher for Morehouse, caught a great game and polled out a homer. SPEEDWELL'S ARE CHAMPIONS. After the hottest kind of a contest the Speedwells nosed out in the bowling contest and won the trophy for the championship of Greater New York for the second time, beating the Avons, who tied with them up last, just caught. The Avons were outclassed in the second game of the roll off, much to the surprise of the crowd who witnessed the game. They showed up well in the first game, but in the second game Speedwells with only a few pins separating them at the finish, made the starting of the second game almost on even terms. The Speedwells came back strong and with great 'confidence' and put it all together. They had to be won three times by a team before it became its personal property. The Alphas have never won it although they had a good chance last season when the three teams were tied and had to bowl off the tie. The Avon won last year and have one leg on it, while the Speedwells have won twice. BILLIARD NOTES. The newspaper men's pocket billiard trophy was defended to The New York Age by the representative of the New York News.

It was impossible for the representative of The News to keep any of the three engagements with The New York Age. The Colored Amateur Billiard Players will play their final club games in May.

Richard Manuel Bolden, pastor of the First Emmanuel Church, 105 West 130th street said: that our Lord the Immanuel thought, spoke and lived in the soul realm of men and things. He taught and illustrated in his own historical life that the Spirit life is the real life for us. His teachings concerning himself, show that there is but one mind, one life, and that this one is Spirit, Father, God. Let us think believingly on these personal declarations, and feel the rapture; get away from the glorious light that shineth in darkness. "Labor not for the meat that or which perisheth but for that meat which endurest unto everlasting life, which the son of man shall give unto you; for him hath God the Father seeded, not that any man hath seeded the Father, but the Father seen the Father verily, verily I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life, I am the bread of life, I am the Living bread which came down from heaven; if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever, the bread which will give for the life of the world, as the Living-Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that dateth me, even he shall live by me. Whoso eaten my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at my side, and I will drinketh the flesh profest nothing; the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life." The reality here set forth is not to be regarded about, but is to be accepted and believed in the Holy Spirit will demonstrate the truth to any one and all in whom they duell. He has been given the authority from both the Father and the Son, who provide for the truth in believers, comforting, teaching and helping them to behold their eternal Royal nature and relationship in God. He acts as the sustainer of the Eternal Unity manifestee in all things. He causes us to see, the Trune One Eternal God, Spirit, Mind, revealing himself as the embodiment of All-Life, All-Truth, All-Love, and All-Power. He is lifting us out of time and the presence of things Eternal, hoped for. He makes evident the things not seen. He is the processional Christ Spirit preparing Emmanuelites to proclaim the second personal coming of Our Lord the Immanuel unto this world. He assures us that the promised home for believers in Our Lord is true. He would have us to thank and act attitudes with One Spirit so that when the fullness of time comes we might receive eternal, incorruptable, immortal bodies in which we will glorify God in Christ Jesus and enjoy him forever. The opening exercises of the Sunday School were conducted by Supt. Hogans in the presence of a large number of scholars and teachers.

Salam Lusouma rMoala Samai A mock Senate of the Sixty-fourth Congress of the United States of America was held at the Salem M. E. Church lyceum on Thursday, April 22 Counselor N. B. Marshall presided. After the preliminaries incident to the opening of the Senate, Senator L. C. Collins introduced a bill to prohibit the sale of munitions of war tt countries now at war in Europe and to prohibit the manufacture, construction or sale of any vessel, under sea craft or sea plane for war purposes for any country now at war in Europe. The arguments in support of the bill tended that for the good of humanity and that as only one faction of believers is being supplied with such munitions of war, such trade should be prohibited. Senator A.P. P. Randolph opened the debate for the opposition. His speech was followed by those of several other Senators who argued that such an act would set a bad precedent for this country, would be bad for the country economically and, would be unnatural, and against the bill, the President authorized a roll call. The measure was defeated. Senator Phillip M. Thorne introduced a bill to authorize the President of the United States to use the army and navy for the purpose of protecting property and lives of United States citizens and to restore order in Mexico. After a brief discussion it was found that the bill was loosely drawn, and a measure to have it tabled was passed by an overwhelming majority. The third bill of the session was introduced by -Senator Peter J. Smith; this bill being to investigate the sanitary condition of lodging houses Married Wednesday evening, April 21, 1915.
