The New York Age FLIPPER LOSES HIS GOOD TEMPER Denounces The New York Age and the Rev. P.G.Simmons for Publications Believe that Death of Senior Prelate Has Removed Restraining Influence and Now Flipper Issues Ultimatum to Atlanta Conference ARE WORTHLESS BREACHERS Has Stood the "Disgusting, Worthless Prechers" as long as He Is Going To, and Now Intends Putting Them in Their Proper Places. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE ATLANTA, Ga. June 1. I—Bishop J. S. Flipper, now that the restraining hold and influence of Bishop Henry M. Tanner has been removed by death, has issued his ultimatum to the preachers of the A. M. E. Church belonging to the Atlanta conference. This he did at the commencement exercises of the Morris Brown University on Wednesday, May 14, at Bigon Church, before an audience of 2,000 students assembled to witness the graduation exercises of a class of fifty old students. Characterizing them as "disgusting, worthless preachers," he said he had stood them as "he was going to, and that he was going to put them in their proper place." He took advantage of the occasion, after the diplomas had been presented, to pay his respects to his New York Academy and to the Rev. P.G. Gunn, who was denominated a "lying slanderer" and, other who bid criticized the political career of Morris Brown University. He declared that no teacher or preacher would be allowed to write about the school as school that gave employment. Was Afraid of Bishop Turner. The Atlanta preachers are up in arms because of the attentions of the bishop, and are laying plans to have his district changed at the next general conference, so that he is prevented from coming back to Atlanta. The bishop is the second time that Bishop Flipper has tried to raise the red flag of secularism and to array the preachers of the other six conferences against the Atlanta conference. It is being freely said that the death of Bishop Turner has meant the removal of a restraining Bishop Turner and would not have said these things had Bishop Turner been living. The wrathy Bishop started his campaign of abuse and vituperation at the meeting of the board of trustees, when his opening address was filled with references to TIME AGE and to the Rev. P. W. Turner. The men of the men's memence he said he had demanded the trustees to stand up like men and put out any teacher they did not want. That he had stood the disgusting, worthless preachers of the Atlanta conference as long as he is going to, and now he intended to put them in their proper office. The Bishop declared he was a southerner and that he was not that when he entered heaven 'he was going in through the southern gate.' Much criticism has been aroused through the appointment of a committee to sell 400 acres of land at Macon, Ga., a part of 625 acres purchased four years ago by Bishop C. S. Smith. It has been suggested also that the bishop was in bad taste when he attacked the Rev. P. Simmons, now stationed in board-and-at commencement, when Simmons had not been tried for any violation of the church discipline or law, and when none of his assertions had been disproved. Regarded as Unwisful Indiscreet and Selfish: The common belief, is, that Bishop Flipner was regarded by Bishops, Gaines, Grant, Turner and Smith, and many of the leading preachers of the state, as indirect, unwise, selfish and of small mentality. An alleged remark, by one of the prominent men, is, to the effect, that "his head is too small for his body". The concensus of opinion that serious trouble is brooding in the A. M. E. Church is there is no question but that the stories published in *The Age* about Morris Brown, its little president and things in Georgia have opened, the eyes of the people. "The entire force of the school was put to work" to get itemized and detailed reports to impress the students and the public. Less than half of the students were ever taken to Bishop Turner's funeral. All sorts of surface display and puddle were paraded by President Fountain and his faculty. The change is altered that fifty old diplomas handed out were more, for politics and to get a little change from the receivers than because they were merited. But both is firmly fastened in the minds of people that unless a change is made the positive control of the school Morris Brown will ultimately go to ruin. VENEGAR MAKES DENIAL IN SCHOOL TROUBLES Under date of, May 28, The ACE is in seat of a lieutenant, Vinegar, who held the position of principal of the Branch Normal School, Pine Bluff Ark, when that school was; ordered closed by, Governor Hays on April 12 because the pupils refused to attend glasses. The trouble in the school arose from alleged insults offered to Mitsis by the pupils, by W. S. Harris, a white man enforced the school as superintendent of the industrial department. It was alleged by the pupils that efforts to have Mr. Vinegar institute an investigation of the charges against the superintendent were ineffectual. It was also stated that action of the governor in ordering the school closed, deposed Mr. Vinegar, and sent the police peeled at St. John A. M. E. Church, Pine Bluff, on Sunday night, April 11, "and made an attempt to answer the critics who charged him with wilful neglect of duty in failing to have the charges against Superintendent Harris investigated." It was alleged that his actions were unacceptable, and the ransom "it is not thought by his friends that he benefited himself or justified his actions by the speech." To all of these statements Mr. Vinegar enters a general disclaimer, saying that "hypocrisy should not . . . under the guide of manhood, attempt to steal property from a person who do not live in glass houses." He declares that no request was ever made to him by any person or persons for an investigation, and that he was not deposed by or as a result of the governor's order to arrest two nefarious, two-by-four quill driver," in replying to the alleged use of profanity and vulgarity in St. John's Church. Vinegar Makes General Denial. The following is Mr. Vinegar's letter in full, just as written: Pine Bluff, Ark. May 29, 1915. Editor of the New York Age. Editor of the Sir I—wish to answer those articles which appear in your paper under date of April 1, 8, and 22, porturing to give to the public information on the Normal College, especially in so far as they refer to me. It is very right and meet, that honor and moral chastity should at all times be held with all the moral courage that bespeaks a man, but hypocrytacy should not cover its hands with hair and under the arm, but steal the merit which belongs to those who do not live in glass houses. Its hands are Esau's, but its voice is Jacobs. When one goes so far in his chastity, the student must answer any matter, as they ponish to all contentious matters, which with otherwise, be commendable, becomes a student. The amount calculated to do much harm. The article in your paper of April 1, 8, states that charges were 'made by the student body against Superintendent Vinegar.' that they will quit school unless the two men named are removed" The students have never declared that they will not continue school unless the superintendent moved the article in the issue of April 8, ult. reiterates, with the additional misrepresentation, that "the superintendent investigated and he refused." No request for an investigation was ever made to me by any person or person; or has any charge ever been filed against me; nor are there no farculous, two-by-four" quill driver states in the issue of April 22 ult. that F. T. Vinegar, "deposed as principal of the Governor's College the edict of the Governor's vulgarity and profanity in the church." Neither F. T. Vinegar nor anybody else can be deposed by, or as the result of, the Vinegar using vulgarity and profanity. I would like to dignify that statement by calling it falsehood, but falsehood is too good a word to name it; if you want to be sure that it is the Vinegar using vulgarity and profanity, I please let the foregoing appear in the next issue of the Age.

TO USE SEGREGATION AS A BUSINESS HELP Special to THE NEW YORK ACE BALKER, Md., June 2—"If the white people want segregation then make the white people want segregation way" asserted Dr. Ernest Lyon before the mechling of the Maryland State Baptist Missionary Convention last Friday. The speaker went on to say that the race should make the most of segregation by starting and supporting racial business enterprises. He selected the following officers: The Reys, John H. Taylor, president; M. A. Kyle and R. T. Winn, vice-presidents; R. D. Johnson, secretary; B. A. Cullis, corresponding secretary; Samuel Ward, assistant secretary; Jonne Tresser, treasurer; and C. D. Carr, chairman. Legislative Committee Hears Ex-Assistant U. Attorney General in Appeal for Passage of Bill Providing for Censura of Public Entertainments. Special to The New York Age. Boston, Mass. June 2—The Massachusetts Legislature has passed a 'bill providing for a board of censors, consisting of three persons, which board, by a majority vote, has the authority to stop a moving picture play or any other theatrical production.' 'For any reason whatsoever. This bill has been signed by the Governor and is now a law.' This legislation comes as a result of the agitation in Boston by the colored people against the continued, showing of the vicious, race film, "The Birth of a Nation," and it is expected that the new board will give a hearing to the colored citizens at an early date. When the bill was being considered, the Legislature gave during to representatives of the race, and the following extracts are taken from the remarks of William H. Lewis, former Assistant United States Attorney General. Race Has a Sore Grievance. The South Barred The Clansman. The Clausman could not be shown in my own home, Norfolk, Virginia, nor in Savannah, Georgia, where he lives. The audacity to come here to ask Boston endorses it. Does it tend to corrupt the people who say it is good for the people who say it is seen as the answer, Mr. chairman and gentleman. Whatever the law forbids is immoral. The law says that a man should up to be an honorable thing. A man is given what they call a fair trial in the "dim hall" balls. A man is taken to a hall, taking him and admiring him up to a fire. If this republic had its birth during the Civil War it was the Nego who delivered the sword to the soldiers and sullied it a thousand Tulips and Vandianans. This play, is worse than a hundred brass in a part of the movie it might effect. What has always been the argument made to the people of the city, North and West when it has been the business of business, with segregation, with discrimination and lynching? It has been this. How have the neighbours of a Nego? Then you have gone to political power driving white heen away from the polls and happened to hear how the Negroes in legislature with their shoes off and drinking whiskey. That never happened. And you represehble that than I referred to, Mr. chauhan and gentlemen. You are shown the Phillips addressing an abolitionist; mixing it has a white man with his arm around a black man's neck. And then you are shown the face of all this a trope around a Negro's neck. Slander on Charles Sumner. I lex of, you, gentlemen, go and see it. If you have any doubt about it, Why? New York is a city where you can almost abstinently meet but there is Charles Sumner—wrongly unquestioned; moral power-censored almost his assassination while representing you and disgising libertine. But with the help of the young eringer, imput of view of American history they "this nation had its birth in the Civil War," but 4 abstinent fault with this propensity to disgrace it. They will consent to the repulse of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments and approve their friends have made an effort. Let me say say, and then I am done, or omit them, and each chapter has a history bishop. Each chapter has a history bishop. Each chapter has a history bishop. The fugitive anxious from ocrison in other joys found the latentities the voices of freedom were faded from. Whitmer and Longfellow and Lowell sung the voices of freedom were faded from. Forever keep this atmosphere, free from prejudice and the biggity of race. I love This means that the state, one of the largest in this territory, left by a colored man, without a cense of indebtedness against it, will be distributed as he directed, and in no other way, and that the widow, Mrs. Aunta S. Church, executrix, the attorney, the agent of the lawful theirs. The case attracted notice because of the size of the doctrine involved and the prominence of the Church family. It has been in the courts about three years. Laura Napier claimed to be a daughter of Mr. Church, and asked the right to be granted a probate court of Shelby county granted by the Civil Court of Appeal of Tennessee reversed the Probate Court in a unanimous opinion through Supreme Higgins, and dismissed the cause without any virtue. The Supreme Court affirms the Civil Court of Appeal and seals the reversal of the Probate Court. For Laura Napier, the attorney, the agent of the lawful theirs, and ex-Governor A. R. Patterson and S. M. Neely, famous Memphis lawyers, represented the Church family. The burden of the defense of the will has been borne by Robert R. Church Jr., who acted for his family. The heirs are the children of Church Mrs. Amnette E. Church, J.R. Church, Mrs. Mary Church Tertell, and Thomas A. Church. DR.

Trades, agriculture, business are all represented in the list of graduates, as well as are the purely academic and literary courses. Hampton Institute, notwithstanding that the Government appropriation for the Indians has been withdrawn, continues to attract a number of the aborigines, and of the sixty-two graduates from that institution, six are Indians. All of them have received certificates in various trades, one in carpentry, one in machine work, two in printing, and two in steamfitting. Tuskegee Institute, as usual, sends forth large classes in all the industries and agricultural pursuits. Commencement programs in all the institutions were carefully prepared and well rendered. Class exercises, including many unique features, tree planting, track meets, competitive drills, musical concerts, various other activities, and the closing of the year's work in the schools, and noted men delivered addresses to the students. Accounts from several schools were given last week in Tire Age, and a number of others are given this week as follows: HAMPTON INSTITUTE. The baccalaureate sermon was preached by the Rev. H. B. Turner, chaplain of the institute, from II. Timothy 2:3. His thesis was "Through Struggle the annual competitive, drill the company commanded by Caut. W. David Owl, a Cheroque Indian, of Roddey, S. C., won the prize—a silver loving-cup, presented by Lieut. Col. Thomas W. Winston, formerly of Fort Monroe, now of Madison. Wis. The judges were Capt. Jacob M. Coward, Lieut. Adelao Gibson, out, Sidney G. Hutchee of Fort Monroe. The junior-class was presented the silver cup trophy in the spring rowing races. This class held the cup last year when they were known as the "Work-year Boys." The first and second prizes in both the mile and half mile races won respectively by William S. Parker, tailor, Jacksonville, Fl., and Dorsey, agriculture, Dragonville, Va. The annual spring concert, under the supervision of R. Nathaniel Dett, director of vocal music, and Miss Bessie L. Drew, teacher of singing and the annual hand concert under the leadership of William M. O. Tessman, bandmaster, were, as usual, most entertaining. Fifty-six Negroes and six Indian received their certificates in trade agriculture and business. The class-day exercises consisted of classes, class histories and class sings. In the absence of Principal Friissell, the vice-principal, Dr. George P. Phenix presented the certificates. Dr. Phenix also made a short address and presented the academic diplomas to a group of five Indian hows and girls. Dr. Phenix read to the class the following letter, dated May 12 from Dr. Friissell: "I regret very much that there is little prospect of my beline with you at your graduation exercises to deliver to you your diplomas, and to give you words to express my affection and good wishes. I go to the hospital this afternoon, and tomorrow expect to undergo an operation which will take some time. I am sure that you know how fervently I pray for your success, and how strong a heart you have in service, you are to render your people. Hampton expects everyone of you to do his or her duty. May God bless you and keep you and cause his face to shine upon you. The academic class-day program included a salutatory service by Harriet F. Marshall of Alismon, S. C. class-victory, Theron N. Williams of Warren, N. C. valedictory, Melven T. Wildy of-Avalon, Van; and a class song-write W. Lloyd Walker of Hampton Atlanta, Ga.—The exercises of the forty-sixth commencement of Atlanta University began with the play "Damon and Pythias," presented by the graduating classes on Friday night, May 21, and closed with the graduating exercises on Wednesday night, May 26. At these exercises forty-eight students were graduated, nine from the college and thirty-nine from the normal school. This is the largest number to receive diplomas at one time from Atlanta University. Wednesday's program included five orations by the college graduates and five essays by the normal graduates, with music by the Atlanta University chorus under the direction of Sidney Woodward. The old time selections arranged by Burleigh and Coleridge-Taylor's chorus from "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast" was received with special enthusiasm. The commencement address was delivered by Dr. W. D. Weatherford of Nashville, Tenn. Dr. Weatherford is southern field secretary for colleges of the international committee of the Y. M. C. A. He is also a trustee of Atlanta University. On Monday and Tuesday afternoons, the campus was crowded with friends to witness out-of-door games and exercises. On Monday the little children from the Gate City Free Kindergarten, and the social workers in charge of the work, assembled for their annual exhibition and to hear an able address by Rabbit David Marx. On Tuesday a group of normal students and little children from he Practice School presented a Spring Foliie. This was a pageant illustrating he influence of sunshine and kindliness. The theme of President Ware's baccalaureate sermon on Sunday, May 23, was "Preparation for Peace." The text was taken from John 17: "That they may all be one." The same thought was further developed by Mrs. John D. Hammond of Augusta at the last session of the Atlanta University Conference for the study of Negro problems. Her theme was "Inter-Racial Co-operation for Human Betterment in the South." This meeting was held on Monday evening. Again on Wednesday, Dr. Weatherford emphasized the value of the individual. The cumulative effect of the addresses and discussions was to place the strongest emphasis upon the necessity of intellectual Christian people of both races in the South working together for human betterment. For here the problem of racial co-operation must be worked out to a successful issue if there is to be hope of the realization of lasting peace between the races of the world. FORT VALLEY H. AND I. SCHOOL The Fort Valley exercises of the Fort Valley Industrial School came to a close on Wednesday evening, May 19. The commencement speakers were Miss Cornelia Bowen of Mt. Meltgs, Ala., who delivered the commencement address for the industrial closing; W. J. Trent, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. of Atlanta, who delivered the commencement address; and Dr. E. P. Johnson of Reid Street Baptist Church of Atlanta, who delivered the commencement sermon. The enrollment for the year was 458. Besides the night school for the work students, a night school has been conducted for the mothers and fathers of the community to which many came for the study of reading, writing and arithmetic, while others were especially interested in Bible study. The commencement broom program was beautifully carried out. Mrs. G. L. Word of Fort Valley added to the program, by her sweet singing. The Rev. G. L. Word of the C. M. E. Church, Elder A. J. Avery, the Rev. Mr. Franklin of the Baptist Church, and the Rev. T. J. Crawford, Sabbath School Missionary, were present at the exercises. The graduating class presented to the school two handsomely mounted electric lights for use on the campus and the class of 1914 presented two sanitary drinking fountains—one for the girls' side of the campus and one for the boys' side. The alumnus association also gave money for the further lighting of the campus. Miss Isabella Lee Walker of Fort Valley was given a prize for having done the greatest amount of reading during the year.

OHIO'S GOVERNOR TO : WELCOME PYTHIANS 'Columbus, O., June 1.—The 18th biennial session of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, the 8th biennial session of the encampment of the Uniform Rank. Department, and the 16th biennial session of the Supreme Court of Calanthe, will convene at Columbus, O., August 15 to 21. The city of Columbus occupies a unique position in this State, in that it is located in the central part. Being thus situated, it is easily, accessible by railway and interurban lines from almost any part of the 'State. It, being the Capitol of the State, contains many beautiful buildings and institutions, and other points of interest, which the 40,000 Pythians and their friends will have the opportunity to visit and inspect during the week of the encampment. The latest report which Major-General R. R. Jackson of Chicago has transmitted to the executive committee in charge of entertaining the supreme session and encampment, that there will be not less than 7,000 men in camp. The local committee having charge consists of Robert B. Barcus, chairman; W. H. Woods, vice-chairman; John W. Harris, secretary; W. H. Ferguson, corresponding secretary; Dr. W. A. Method, treasurer; H. U. H. Jamison, R. S. Allen, Isaac Farley, E. L. Gilliam, Marie Jones, Mae Smith, C. C. Caldwell and Nettie Wytta. Mr. Barcus, a well-known attorney, is directing the plans of entertaining the session in a most admirable manner, although he did not assume charge until March 26. Anderson of Cineinnati, O., is the grand chancellor of the State, and as such has thrown the influence of the Grand-Lodge of the State together with the seventy-one subordinate lodges, to help to make this session and encampment the most remarkable in the history of the Supreme Lodge. Governor Frank B. Willis, who stopped the nefarious photo-play of "The Nigger" and the revised "Clansman" in this State, on the ground that they fostered race hatred and were immoral, will deliver the address of welcome on behalf of the State to the knights and members of the Court of Calanthe, and Mayor George I. Karth will welcome the visitors on behalf of the city. NASHVILLE Y. M. C. A. NASHVILLE, TENN. June 1.—Of the 3,644 persons who subscribed to the Young Men's Christian Association building fund campaign, March 20-31, 1914, 600 have paid to date a total of $7,728.18. The first payment fell due May 1, 1914, and every sixty days thereafter strenuous appeals have been made to the subscribing friends. The results are as follows: May 1 to June 30, 1914, $2,852.93; July 1 to August 31, 1914, $468; September 1 to October 31, 1914, $455.50; November 1 to December 31, 1914, $398; January 1, 1915, to February 28, 1915, $454.50; March 1 to April 30, 1915, $1,242.45, total, $7,723.18. Thirty thousand dollars was the amount set out for—more than 25 per cent of this amount has been paid in a year's time. One out of every six subscribers is responsible for this splendid showing. That 16 per cent of a given group should redeem 25 per cent of the financial obligation of that group in a year's time, at a time like this, is a commendable showing. A building site at a cost of $14,000 has been purchased. It is said by men well qualified to judge a matter of this kind that Nashville has the best building site of any colored association in the country. It is as near central for the residential sections as is possible, and is in close proximity to the most thriving business sections of both white and colored. The lot has a frontage of 139 feet, facing the east entrances of the State Capitol of Tennessee.

The Age, while perfecting its Scholarship Plan, felt that it would also be necessary to offer a list of premiums, in order to attract the attention of those who would not be interested in a scholarship. It has been surprising and gratifying to note that out of the hundreds who have made inquiries and, later, made application, the number of these signifying their intention of trying for a premium is so small as to be negligible; and this, in spite of the fact that the premiums are of a kind and value rarely offered by any publication. This, we say, is gratifying as it shows that those who have been attracted by The Age's offer are persons who are more interested in securing an education than in winning a premium. Because the applications for scholarships are coming in such large numbers, we shall be obliged to close the scholarship offer—so far as it relates to the oncoming school year—within a few weeks. STREET MANNERS. Good manners are not merely for the parlor; they apply equally as well to the street. In fact, bad parlor manners are not so detrimental as bad street manners, because they do not affect and annoy as many people. Loud and coarse laughter, congregating on the sidewalks so as to impede the progress of passersby, expectorating in one spot until it makes rubbers necessary, these are all very bad street manners. So far as we are concerned as a race, bad street manners on our part have a very damaging result. A more damaging result than the same manners would have indulged in by others. And this is because so few people of the other race know anything about how we live in our homes, but judge us almost entirely by our conduct in public. This being true, it is not fair for a few by their bad street manners to make a bad impression for the whole race. It is plainly the duty of each of us to use our influence to correct bad street manners among us wherever we see them practiced. DOUBLE TROUBLE. Our foreign relations are bringing us double trouble. As soon as the Administration made up its mind to take a firm stand with Germany, it seems to have made up its mind to take a firm stand with Mexico also. The change of policy on the part of the Administration from one of attempting to straighten out affairs in our neighboring republic to one of allowing them to settle their own affairs has been running now for so long a time that it is a bit surprising to see President Wilson take this particular moment to go back to the first policy. It would seem that Germany is all we can deal with just now. The newspapers carried fine notices the other day about the skill with which EDRIE SAVOY, the veteran chief messenger at the State Department, recently avoided the placing, of several important diplomats in an embarrassed position, but they gave no hint that he is a colored man. Suppose he had done something foolish or worse? VIEWS AND REVIEWS JAMES W. JOHNSON, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR. THE UNITED STATES AND GERMANY... The unanimous sentiment of the country is that Germany's reply to the note sent by our Government is entirely unsatisfactory. The Kaiser's answer almost completely ignores all of the issues raised by President Wilson: The reply of the German government is evasive, but this much can be gathered from it clearly, the Germans have no intention of giving up the use of submarines against either the armed or merchant ships of the enemy. The German note makes it appear that that government wishes to reach a common basis of understanding with the United States as to the character and status of the Lusitania before it will discuss any further the questions involved. That is, whether the Lusitania was an unarmed merchant vessel, peaceably plying her trade, or, in effect, an auxiliary of the British navy, engaged in transporting munitions of war and troops, and carrying neutral passengers only as a shield. That is a question upon which it is not likely that the two nations will ever reach the same point of view, for it is certain that Germany will maintain the position that the Lusitania was not really a merchant vessel. But even if some agreement is reached on this point, Germany has another argument which she will undoubtedly advance. In this diplomatic battle she evidently intends not to use up all her ammunition at one shot. When she feels it necessary she will come forward with the argument that the sinking of the Lusitania, if wrong under international law as it was is not wrong under international law as it should be. She will set up that international law is made and changed, not by any legislative body, but by exigencies, especially the exigencies of war. She will claim that the use of submarines necessarily make a change in international law, a change which will become fixed and recognized after this war is over. Such an argument deserves consideration. There is no adequate place in international law for the submarine; and it is also true that not even the Court of the Hague could beforehand lay down rules that would entirely cover the use of this new implement in naval warfare; these rules could only be worked out from the practical use of the implement, and this is now being done for the first time. No doubt the first army that used gunpowder and shot raised an awful howl from the fellows who were still using bows and arrows. There was, probably, a lot of talk about barbarity and violation of international law, but international law had to be changed to meet the use of gunpowder and shot, and it will be changed to meet the use of the submarine; to just what extent cannot yet be known. However, the change is not likely to go so far as to sanction the sinking of merchant vessels carrying non-combatants. The situation as it now stands is serious. It is the most critical position in which our Government has stood since Lincoln faced the Southern rebellion. It is a position that calls for calmness, patience and wisdom; for we stand face to face not merely with war against Germany...hut with the possibility of being caught in the vortex of a world wide war. Because of the nearness with which we stand to war with Germany, some few have raised the question as to what attitude the colored American should take in case war is declared. There are not two sides to the question. There is only one attitude for the colored American to take, and that is the one of unquestioned loyalty he has always taken. The reasons are simple, direct and conclusive. We put it on no grounds of avoiding criticism or embarrassing those who are friendly to us or making new friends; there are better, sounder and higher reasons. This is our country as much as it is the country of any other class of American citizens. To this declaration and claim we hold, regardless of what anybody may say or do. If certain of our rights and privileges are abridged or denied us, it is done over our protest; therefore those rights and privileges are not surrendered, and we still maintain a position which enables us to assert that they are ours. So our duty to the country is the same as that of all loyal American citizens. For us to refuse the duty of defending the flag would be to set up a denial of the very rights which we claim are ours. So long as we fully perform our duties as citizens, and, if we forego certain rights, do so only over our protest, we are on the safe side; we still have a clean case in court. Either to fail in our duties or to yield our rights without protest, would be to defeat our own cause. There are not two sides to the question. TALK ENGLISH TO THE BABY. One of the greatest handicaps a person can have is to be unable to express himself. It is a cause of backwardness, a source of embarrassment and a general obstacle in the way of success. At times, a person so handicapped reaches the point of being in pain, and also painful to others. The principal cause of this handicap is ignorance of one's language. A person who has not a fair knowledge of the language he is supposed to speak may have a great many ideas and thoughts, but he cannot properly formulate them for himself or give them out to others; simply because he is not familiar with the terms in which these ideas and thoughts should be expressed. It is impossible for any one to make a good impression upon others, much less influence them, unless he is able to express himself clearly and intelligently. And to express oneself clearly and intelligently demands a knowledge of language. Therefore one of the chief elements of success in life is nothing more or less than a sound knowledge of one's mother tongue. Since this is so; is it not a wrong and an injustice to a child to allow it to grow to be six or seven years old, and knowing only about as many words as are known by a well educated parrot? Yet such cases are extremely common. And this is the cause of what appears to be stupidity in so many children. Every reader has, perhaps, asked some child the simple question, "How old are you?" only to have the child squirm around from one foot to the other, stick his finger in his mouth and act generally like a deaf-mute. Most likely the child was not at all stupid, but only embarrassed. Embarrassed because it did not know how to answer you, because it had not been taught to say in straight English, "I am six years old." Such a child on entering school would at once be put down as a backward pupil. He might have as good and as apt a brain as any of his school mates, but he has nothing to work with. He can neither take in or give out new ideas, because he does not know the signs and symbols by which ideas are expressed; that is, he does not know words and what they mean. A child under such a handicap becomes self-conscious; ashamed and perhaps, sullen. He naturally falls behind and seldom catches up. We have no doubt, if a study were made between so called bright and so called dull children, the difference would commonly be found to consist more in the knowledge of language than in the quality of brain. Many parents place this terrible handicap upon their children by conversing with them from the time they are born up to the time they are five or six years old in a silly gibberish which is known as "baby talk." The child is called "snookums" and "mudders cedile umpty-dumpty" and is generally addressed in words that sound as though they were borrowed from some rude Indian dialect. From the time that a child begins to form words it should be spoken to in clear, plain, intelligent English. If this practice is followed a child at the age of six will be in possession of a good working vocabulary of English words. It will be able to express itself clearly and to understand intelligently. It will be in a position to learn things and learn them quickly. Such a child, after learning the alphabet, will not long confine its reading to the primer and first reader, but will be able to take up instructive books and read them understandingly. There is another class of parents that never speak patiently and sensibly to a child even after it has, in spite of them, picked up a few words. If a child asks a question it is answered by "Shut up!" or "Don't bother me!" or "I don't know." Perhaps the parents do not know, but it is their business to find out and give the child the proper answer. A child should not only be given the proper answer, but the answer should be given in the proper English; that is, at least, in the very best English the parent knows; in this way a child will grow up accustomed to speaking correctly. It is almost impossible for bad English, learned and spoken at home, to be corrected at school. Of course, if the parents cannot speak correctly, that is another question. We repeat that the commonest difference between bright, apt, intelligent children and dull, stupid, backward ones is that the former have a command of their mother tongue and the latter have not. So give the child a fair chance. Give it a start from the day it forms its first word. Talk English to the baby. THE FRANK HYSTERIA. No more curious phenomenon has in recent years swept this country than the Frank hysteria. There is undoubtedly a united and organized effort being made in behalf of the man convicted of the murder of Mary Phagan, but that hardly explains the widespread interest being manifested by a great number of people all over the country; some of them, perhaps, knowing almost nothing about the history of the case. We say again, that we have no desire to see Frank hanged, but we do object to some of the arguments his friends are putting forth to show that he should not be hanged. These friends, in spite of the findings, of all the courts of Georgia and the Suprême Court of the United States, continue to assert that Conley and not Frank is the guilty man. They go farther and say, that even if Conley is not the guilty one, nevertheless Frank should not be hanged on his testimony; in other words, they say plainly that a white man should not be hanged on the testimony of a Negro. here is where we clash with the friends of Frank. When this terrible crime was committed all suspicion was narrowed down to three persons, Newt Lee, the Negro janitor at the factory, Conley, the Negro helper, and Frank, the white manager. Now, can any sane individual who knows conditions in this country believe for one moment that two Negroes and a white man, charged with the outrage and murder of a white girl, could go into the courts of Georgia, and that the white man would be unjustly convicted of the crime on account of any sort of prejudice against him, and the guilty Negroes go practically free? All the talk about the mystery of the murder notes fades away before such an unthinkable proposition. Prejudice against race and religion is set up as a reason. But in a case like that of Mary Phagan, there is no prejudice against Jew or Gentile, Greek or barbarian, Buddhist or Mohamedan, Chinaman or the South Sea Islander, that would equal the prejudice against an American Negro. So much for the probability of guilt as between Conley and Frank. That there is a powerful movement behind the effort to save Frank is shown, by the following despatch: ASK WILSON'S AID FOR FRANK. Sons of Israel Send Telegram to President for Intercession. Washington, May 31—President Wilson, received a telegram from the Independent Order of Sons of Israel today telling him that ex-Gov. Foss, of Massachusetts, and a delegation have left for Atlanta, Ga., to ask the Governor to commute the sentence of Leo M. Frank, under sentence of death. The message asked the President to intercede in the case. He has not yet replied to the telegram. Just why ex-Gov. Foss should go to Atlanta to endeavor to way the courts of Georgia or why President Wilson should lift his voice we do not see. However, Frank's friends have a perfect right to try to save him, even if in doing so all consideration for the dead girl and her family is lost sight of. Once again we say we have no desire to see Frank hanged. More, we have no objections to seeing his sentence commuted to life, or to seeing him fully liberated; but we do object to any attempt to make Conley, simply because he is a black man, the sacrifice for clemency to Frank. COMMENDING THE AGE For three years I have been reading The Age and have not found its equal. It is the one great paper that stands in a class by itself, the paper that the race should support. I must extend to you my heartiest congratulations on behalf of your splendid work. JONAS S. JORDAN, V. S. Hospital Corps. Fort Leavenworth, Kan. Will contribute to Aid Inspiration. To the Contributing Editor of The Age: Will you allow me, as a Negro race man and American citizen, to say that I consider your suggestion an opportunity willing to aid." I would be pleased to contribute to any fund that will result in the definite metarialization of your plan. I surely must appeal to all Harlem Negroes who have a real concern in the future of the race here in the city. The relation and condition of this county relation to certain profound events in reference to the Negro must be apparent to all of the race. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY William Decker Johnson of Georgia. To the Editor of The Age: Holding my conference membership lifetime in the district, while I am a resident of the sixth Episcopal district, it is not easy for those who do not know to locate me, hence I am unable to answer questions about this or the other man as to his and their fitness, their worth and their service in the church. But however much I am grateful to of children in my judgment and for my opinion, I very reluctantly take this method of replying to a large number of inquiries. I know than any other, about whom inquiries have reached me is Dr. W. D. Johnson of Georgia. And from time to time I have been asked many, of my own personal friends, as well as a number of those forty-two who voted for me at the Kasansi City general conference. "What do you think of the merit, worth and ability of the conference, and his interest in Georgia, as well as his claims upon the men in Georgia and the general church?" Again I am confronted with much reluctance, as well as embarrassment, as to why I should be by those who know me best as a coward, who is afraid to advance an opinion which will serve, to help or further, as well as to guide men of less information, to seek, and it is with hesitation I attempt to answer these interogatories. Not however, because I have any scruples about the merit, the character and fitness of me to Roose D. Johnson, but George I will pass on this early date to pass an opinion which will prejudice a course which I believe will be settled at the proper time and in the right way by the merit of the people we are all well thinking people accuse. Yet silence would now insult the confidence of my friends, and reflect detrimentally upon the life and character of my pastor, to do; therefore I shall not be guilty of this breach of respect, because it is due Dr. Johnson as I have known him from personal contact so long and an acquaintance and associates, and in four different forms of church service for me to say, that I have not met a man whose Christian bearing, and gentlemanly conduct, as well as ability and merit, and a methodism who has impressed me more than I have been impressed by him. "He is a hard student of books and of men, and he is most unusually inured of the affairs of a book-knowledge of the affairs of a public interest. He is not only one of the most progressive presiding elders over one of the most palatinking bishops on the bench, but the most efficient secretary our general conference has ever had, when all the circumstances are considered. And I. I say that I am of the opinion that William Decker Johnson, Jr., ranks among the ablest men Georgia has产ory, and his friends are, counted by hundreds throughout, the bounds of the church. Yes, Johnson can be rulled upon as one of the big men who means when he was and is now a minister, and this is the only really true man. Upon such a man, the people lean for support and help. Dr. Johnson, from what I have been able to give, is an administrator, but he maintains his own individuality. He is no man's tool, and he is no man's feel. I thus speak of Dr. Johnson in due deference and justice to the rank and file of our ministry, to the righteous church we represent. Again, Dr. Johnson is not guilty; nor is he a creature of many of the common weaknesses which smirl and beamware the life and charisma of a church of to-day. If he is a trickstar he does not know how to work them. He is too large to stoop so low. I have found him in the fullest and most complete expression of that term! And no one knowing him will ever charge him with laziness or indifference to his duty, and may be. He is not sloven in his work, but he is a painstaking executor, of whatever work he undertakes. I am not advancing a new idea. I am not advancing a new literature throughout the entire church have some knowledge of the service of Dr. Johnson. His able contribution to the church and secular press show the prowess of the busy and the thoughtful man. Dr. Johnson is not a whiner nor a complainer. He meets conditions and grapples with them as they are. He is a businessman, building up his church, and giving her the service she so much needs from him. The interest of his race lay so near his heart that he has no time to worry over those things which disturb and distort the mind of the average preacher. He is too large to be like Again, much has been asked about the places and positions which the Georgia men seek. At first, sight this place seems like a local matter and IH becomes an outsider to discuss, but when it is conceived that these aspirants will make up the next general conference, then the answer to this query it seems, rests with these delegates, who ever they come to meet with me and one individual. But I venture this much; that knowing Georgia as I do, I do not know now, and a few, if any men, can now see, and I will meill do in a matter of this nature. Now, no set of men can tell fully what course a Georgian man will take, what course you neither may postpone or white. You never may postpone to say which way Georgia will go in a matter involving the future. We may know only which way she went, and what course she will take, but it is reasonable to believe that the great mass of Georgians in and out of the ministry realize those essential necessary work fundamental qualities William F. Durham which are coveted merits by the good and grand of our world, and if left to themselves, this great mass who recog恩empt to put this recognition into a more practical form. And I am of the opinion that Dr. Johnson will receive that which is his him from Georgian men. What more I see others whose names shall appear from time to time? I hope I have answered the questions of my inquisitors. No Stop "Knocking" Each Other. To the Editor of The Ace: T. L. McCOY. The Political Future To the Editor of The Age In view of the very wise suggestion of the Age from time to time that the Republican party "get together" to ask that you consider seriously condition of your brethren in this section of the country—the rotten boroughs of the South so-called, that you have not taken a hold and feel that you right in the past, but in laying plans for the future welfare of our party our cause should be kept prominently before the party leaders and a group of people who are lined whereby, if the party should be successful, the gross and outrageous wrongs inflicted on us would be corrected. Notwithstanding the fact that the government for sixteen years and in its platform of 1908 declared in most positive terms in favor of enforcing the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution, continued in power shamfully failed to carry out their solemn pledge but left us in the cold, on the one hand to the brutal and disfurbling Democrats, and on the other, to office Democrats, and scripturious so-called party lenders. The latter class was backed up by a corrupt system and distribution of information, encouraged accordingly, to ignore if they eliminated from the party councils, while they let the Democrats, the arch enemy of liberty and political rights, have undisputed control of the country and laws of the country under their feet as nothing more than a dirty, rig.

THE RIVER SCENE—SUNSET I stood at dawn high over the shore, The shore of my dear native land; And far below, the river bore His heart twisted with chuck quails I saw beside the jungle quails The ships of many nations lie; The hancers floating in the breeze From eastern and mashead high. I saw the golden rim of sea; I glided to the treasure lay; The noble form of Liberty Amidst the sunset's grande display. Of buildings on Manhattan island Which seemed some mighty-causeway dawn In fabled beauty, fairy style. I saw where sky and ocean verge A military line did seem; Dreadful creeping surge The sun, until it ceased to gleam; And slowly passing out to sea In eastward, silent trend The freightboats with light The frotty tracks and one fair friend. Brooklyn, N. Y. This may seem to be a severe arraignment of our party which has done so much good and stood for such lofty standings, not the facts bear out my contentions? The party lost out in 1912, it will seek to regain control in 1916. How? By advocating wise and progressive principles, organising and concentrating the sober judgment and business-interest of the nation. They will need votes and in their search for them they will most certainly make a special appeal to the close states where their votes count. Being secure in your own rights and votes you can say to the leaders that you demand a fair show for your unpopular vote. South and back up this demand by in the party primaries and conventions. Now, Mr. Editor, the questions may be asked and rightly—How best can we my humble judgment one plan, though not a panacea, seems the most feasible as a step in that direction and that is a reduction of representation on the basis of the power of the fourteenth amendment: This would curb the bourbon element and weaken the power of the South, and if there are others it is power and offices. If we are not qualified to vote, as they claim, then it will be up to them to vote. We must equip their facilities, and otherwise assist in uplift work among our people. To regain their lost power they would not stop assaulting our men on the prison floor. Yes, the South is in the saddle because of the undue advantage she has in voting strength, one of her votes against the latter. While the latter look on in silence. QUESTIONS 1. In view of the imperative and explicit terms of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution is it not the duty of an apportionment of representatives to make it, in compliance with that amendment? If Congress should pass an apportionment bill not *in* accordance with amendment, as the present and preceding ones, could it not be held that the Supreme Court, in impartial court? If not why, not? 3. The Supreme Court seems to judge all cases curried up to it on the basis of the Constitution, in a case bearing on the question of apportionment ever before it? In the issue of March 11 of your esteemed paper, there appeared an interview with one of the prominent leaders of "the female suffrage movement, in which obviously inspired effort is made to raise the question of rather vital question. As one of those voters "who have had sad experience of cramping influence of injustice," I and I also believe other Negro voters would like to have a more clear concern for the suffrage leaders have in mind concerning the Negro women suffragette. If any, Said the famous Madamoiselle la General: "In asking the colored voters in this State to rally to the suppression of the oppression, we are appealing to men whose sense of justice should be strengthened by sad experience of the cramping influence of injustice, of the deadening effect on both races—of undemocratic prejudice and of social injustice, of real freedom. All women are forced to take lower wages for the same work. But the colored woman is forced often into the hateful position of scab, where unions are not allowed, unions, and so adds to race prejudice the antagonism of working women of her own class. The colored men who are disfranchised realize fully how much they are oppressed by these situations. Will those of them who enjoy the full rights of citizen in this State allow their sex prejudice to stand in the way of the advancement of their own mother and sisters as race prejudice has hampered and restricted them?" This is very ingenuous, and, at first blush might lead all voters to rush forward and shout, rye nyc! but on a moment's question, rye nyc! that it a prominent suffrage leader, who spoke in the 'South on the question, and, when pressed for a clear, definite view on the Negro phase, displayed a marvelous victory. Wand it not a prominent suffrage leader, who spoke in the 'South on the question, and, when pressed for a clear, definite view on the Negro phase, displayed a marvelous victory. Wand it not a prominent suffrage leader, who spoke in the 'South on the question, and, when pressed for a clear, definite view on the Negro women. At the present time, all Negro women have been offered or shown any particular consideration concerning the future, that is, in reference to office. Negro voters have seen political leaders with ability—after elections, that they are justified in being circumspect. It is flattering to Negro voters that our strength is appreciated. Possibly, the Negro woman in general may have raised in the political crystal not early enough?

We hear much these days about colored people not patronizing colored business enterprises— The truth of the matter is that many Colored business men have neither kept pace with the broadening and discriminating tastes of the Colored customer nor with the specialized efforts of their white competitors. "It's a far cry" from sentiment to business. This is the age of specialized selling methods and the Colored merchant must "fall in" or "fall out." The difference between the business which is "mighty fine" and "just so-so" is the difference in merchandising methods. We can help you to put your business into the "mighty fine" class.

OVER BARRING OF PHOTO PLAY BECAUSE the Chicago authorities have been humane enough and courageous enough to bar from production the vicious photo play, "The Birth of a Nation," the Chicago Tribune, which styles itself "The world's greatest paper," has become deeply grieved, and so highly incensed is it over the actions of the city officials that it is showing its irritation by copiously shredding itears. If poverty was knocking at the door of the Tribune business office and the high financial rating it so proudly enjoys was not generally known, one would be led to suspect that this wailing and gnashing of teeth evidenced the bitter disappointment felt by the editors over failure to secure a share of the huge fund raised by the producers of the picture for advertising purposes. But not so with the Tribune, which in the role of a patron of the arts, is downcast and sad because Chicago citizens will be denied the rare privilege of seeing "the greatest piece of work done for the films by American producers." Following is the stand taken by the Chicago Tribune: The moving picture play "The Birth of a Nation" in, in our opinion, the greatest piece of work done for the films by American producers. It ranks with "Cabiria" as a tremendous spectacle and for the American temperament it has power to advantage over the PA Annuario photoplay. In Chicago it has 'thus far been barred from production. It is not 'immoral or course. It does not offend for any of the 'reasons which usually cause the prohibition of picture plays or the elimination of the exhibition of art in essential episodes, grounded on historical fact, representing the struggles of that terrible time in the South when the whites, back from war, saw their government taken over by the newly enfranchised blacks controlled by the North. What happened with the Negro ascendant and how the white reestablished his supramacy is shown with obvious natural sympathy for the South, and no doubt with such heightening, of effect as dramatic art has a right to employ. It pre-empts the exploitation of the North of our day, at least, is inclined to believe to be truth. The Tribune has been and is opposed to interference with freedom of expression, but it confesses that the subject here involved his complexities which do not yield to the application of ordinary rules. The terrible concrete reality of the moving picture dictates the consequent emotion: the response of the spectator is the disturbing result. The sin of the film is its effectiveness. A lecturer with ability to touch men's susceptibilities might take this subject and do his emotional best with it and we doubt that a voice would be raised to stop him. Such people as might go to hear him would have their feelings made more acute, might have their prejudices made more clear, might have the chief result would be that they knew more about the days of reconstruction. The moving picture not so much makes its spectators know more about the period; it makes them live through it, vicariously but intensely, and the city government has said, in effect, that the citizens through it, and they ought not, as a matter of public policy, to enter a theatre from which they must come with prejudices and race hatreds inflamed. If the validity of this argument be questioned, as it is bound to be, let the consideration of the subject go further. We may suppose that the audience, in selecting the time of the Spanish inquisition, for film purposes, or that another has taken the persecution of the Irish Catholics by Cromwell, and that either play or both, done after the manner of "Cabiria," and "The Birth of a Nation," were put in Chicago theatres, would have historical accuracy. Query: Would it be public-policy to permit the productions? All censorship is an infringement of that perfect freedom of thought, and expression which is dear to the liberal as an ideal if not always acceptable as a fact. Where we concede any restriction of speech, we are in a position to justify it on other grounds than those of expedition. Censorship of information and of debate is allowed only in extreme cases, as under martial law. Censorship of literary expression also is permitted, only within relatively narrow limits. The field broadens; however, with restrictions upon their appearance in art and their appeal in to emotion rather than reason and, effects of public consequence are feared. But here it is necessary for us to resist a tendency easily extended in the general name of expediency or morality. Not all cases are as clear as those we have cited, and restriction is often the result of the organised zeal of minute minorities rather than an expression of the consensus of a community; Also there is always a disposition to use power when it is treated. Censorship - often - accomplishes concrete benefits and may be conceded to be necessary. But we ought never to lose sight of the fact that, if necessary, it is a necessary evil which we are right in approaching jealously. No, gentle reader, you have not read an editorial published in a Southern daily edited by a Tillman, or a Vardaman, but the sentiments expressed come from one of the great and influential journels of the Middle West, a paper published in a city where the colored and white citizens are on exceedingly friendly terms. This contribution to literature in behalf of art appeared in a newspaper supposedly friendly to col- --- ored people. "One of the publishers of the *Tribune* is a member of the Illinois Emancipation Commission which is making extensive preparations to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the colored American's freedom in Chicago during the month of August." Perhaps the editor, who is a member of the Emancipation Commission, does not agree with his associates on the *Tribune* on some subjects relative to the Negro. For instance, the Emancipation Commission is zealously striving to show the great progress the Negro has made in the United States in fifty years. The prevailing sentiment on the *Tribune* is to depict the Negro little more than a savage, lustful, ignorant and impossible; to degrade the colored, woman, to make members of the Ku Klux Clan heroes and to convince that the killing of innocent, heipless people was justifiable. The writer of the article in the Tribune seems to have been completely carried away with the photo play, evidently presented in private, by its artistic appeal, so much so that he has characterized it "the greatest piece of work done for the films by American producers." While this may be true, the fact remains that the photo play is vicious, untrue, unjust, and has been primarily produced to cause race-friction in the Northern cities. In Germany the sinking of the Lustania by a submarine is regarded as "the greatest piece of work done since the advent of the submarine." But do we Americans share the views of the Germans? Some stilettos are artistically carved and very pretty, as are some revolvers, but notwithstanding their artistic value they are dangerous and objectionable, and so is "The Birth of a Nation." In the South we seldom take the rantings of a demagogue seriously, for we know that he is swayed by baser passions rather than by common sense and logic, and we have learned to consider the source. But we are filled with utter amazement and deep chagrin upon reading the editorial in the Chicago Tribune. And the views expressed by the Tribune bring to our attention that either the paper entertains similar views as Thomas Dixon and other Negro-haters on the race question, or that it is frightfully ignorant of American history in which the Negro has played a prominent part. If the Tribune has at hand information that a Negro Lieutenant-Governor of South Carolina ever used force to make a white girl marry him as shown in the picture we would appreciate favor if the facts were published. If at any time during the Reconstruction Period colored members of the legislature walked about in their bare feet, drank liquor and committed other acts of indiscretion during the session of the legislature as described by the film (shown to instill in the minds of white citizens that the colored man is not fit to serve as a public official) we would highly appreciate favor if facts were published. If the colored legislators, during the Reconstruction Period, passed laws permitting the marriage of white and colored people, and white men and women were openly insulted in the legislative halls, we would also highly appreciate favor if facts were published. When the Tribune boldly asserts that "The Birth of a Nation" is "not immoral or coarse" one is moved to inquire as to the Tribune's code of morals. If vividly depicting on the film the illicit relations between black men and white women and white men and black women is not immoral, if the fatal mishap to the white girl pursued by the colored rapist is not immoral, and if murder is not immoral, then we agree with the Tribune that the picture is "not immoral or coarse." "The Chicago *Tribune* says: "The sin of the film is its effectiveness." We say the sin of the film is its viciousness—its distortion of history and its uncalled assault on a race that was loyal when such men as Thomas Dixon opposed the North which he now cunningly seeks to win over; a 'face' which at this momentous period of our history should be lauded and encouraged for its loyalty and patriotism, rather than unjustly maligned and unnecessarily misrepresented. LAFAYETTE THEATRE Patrons of the Lafayette Theatre are not through talking about the big bill presented at Harlem's most popular playhouse last week (Anniversary Week), which was a record-breaker in many respects. The big bill was responsible for big audiences at each performance, and Anniversary Week will not soon be forgotten. The bill at the Lafayette the first half of this week was strong and of bigtime caliber. The Edelwise Girl who would prove a valuable addition to either the Allies or Germany as a sharpshooter, opened the bill, performing some difficult feats with her gun. Howard & Mason, followed, and their comedy and dancing put the audience in a hilarious mood. This act is fast, and the older it grows the better it gets. A dramatic playlet, "Hari-Kari," which has in its cast several actors who were formerly seen on Broadway, held the audience throughout. The story deals with an American white girl residing with her father in Washington who fell in love with a Japanese diplomat with fatal consequences. Meara, Shiean & Broderick, whirlwind dancers, followed the feature picture. They have a dancing act which might be BY POPULAR REQUEST A Summernight's Festival THE CLEF CLUB ORCHESTRA FFED'K. M.

As for Sweatman's work, no more can be said than he is vaudeville's leading clarionist May & May (with "Stringbeans") close the bill as it is seldom closed—very, very big. The new act presented this week is one big scream. "Stringbeans" is springing new jokes, all of which are clean and "Sweetie" May continues to entice women folks to ask about her prettiest coachem of which she appears, napping in large numbers. "Stringbeans" is undoubtedly the biggest drawing card in this country for the theaters largely patronized by colored theatre-goers. May & May and Wilber Sweatman have been held, over for the second half. Country store is now field every Tuesday and Saturday evenings. Fifty Children in "Fairyland." Fifty children, under the direction of Miss Aman Kemp, disported in "Fairyland" last Friday night when the Music School Settlement, J. Rasmond Johnson, supervisor, gave its grand parade and May festival. All the characters dear to the hearts of the children were represented in costume and mannequin children in the performance that was greatly enjoyed. The features of the program were the singing and dancing of little Bessie Allison, a twelve-year-old girl, who sang with assurance and sweetness: the violin playing of little Willie Butler; and the piano, accompaniments by Consulco Pappy.

Johnson showed himself to be a coming distancer in his remarkable feat at Howard's Meet. He led his field (which included Bill Murray) home in both the one and two mile events. Events are most promising from now on for a very busy season in athletic circles. Saturday, June 5, comes the N. Y. A. C. Meet at Travers' Island. Many colored performers are expected to show. ```markdown ``` Sunday morning, at 10 o'clock, St. Christopher will stage their monthly members' games. Keen competition is looked for. Last Saturday Mr. and Mrs. Brunson, the former of the Salem-Crescent A. C. made the trip to the Intercollegiate in Philly. They did not see one colored runner win a prize. If calling a white man colored is wronging him, Maynard White is the most wronged man in the world. This hitch comes about there being two Whites in Stuyvesant High School, both specialists in the century and fur-long. Last, year M. White (white) was beating Pete White (colored) to the tape every time they were sent out together. This year things have been just the opposite and the daily papers, having gotten used to writing P. J. White up as a winner, now invariably write Maynard up when he "comes through" as the Dusky Flyer or the Fast Boy of Ebony Hue. Policeman, Battles, in weighing in last week, tipped the beam at 280 pounds. He will get his first try-out at the Salem Meet, June 26. Herbert Johnson, known in athletic circles as Charlie Chaplin, threatens to get into print even though he has to assault a cop to do it. A new boy came to the front Decoration Day in Wilmer Lucas, who won the broad jump in the High School novice championship meet for DeWitt Clinton High. We need a few broad jumpers. The Alphas have a wonderful athletic aspirant in Taylor. He has none of his late namesakes ('J. R.'s), qualities—not even the initials: --- John Bonaparte, after being beaten by Maynard White in the 100-yard dash, came back and heavily outran his man in the 220, and thereby winning the high school championship for that distance. Saturday was a model day and John was at his best. His time for that distance was 23 3-5 seconds. I have received numerous complaints from colored athletes about decisions handed to them at various meets last Monday. P.

The colored boys were not loud in their protests at either place, probably on account of the lingering memory of what happened to one of their number at an A. A. U. meeting when he protested. The latter is said to have been placed on the stand and told, "Anything you say now will be used against you. Now speak." A sterling entertainment was given to athletes and their friends Tuesday night at the residence of Mrs. Clark. 165 West 133d street, by Mr. and Mrs. Thompson.

On Sunday next at Olympic Field, 136th street and Fifth avenue, the famous Cuban stars will make their last appearance in a big, double header with the Lincoln Giants, world's colored champions. The Lincolnars are now two games ahead of their rivals, having won a double header from them at Ridgewood this week, and in consequence the Cuban Stars will play at top speed to even matters before leaving for the West. They will place their faith in Pedrera, leading pitcher of the Havana aggregation, while the colored champions will depend on "Cyclone" Joe, Williams. The latter is pitching in great shape at present and seems to pitch better against the Cubans than against local teams. In the final game Langford will pitch for the Lincoln Glants and Pedrosa for the Cuban Stars. Music School Settlement Notes. Music School Settlement Notes.

WELL-KNOWN ATHLETES THE LIFE OF MARY MAY JAMES' RAVENELL. Track Captain St. Christopher A. C. Did you ever see the ad with a bulldog holding on to a stocking while a boy tugged at the other end? Or better, did you ever notice how a lobster holds on to anything once he has been tugged at? That Ravell is a lobster or a bulldog, but it has been, just this bulldog tenacity, this postage stamp stick-to-fliiveness that has placed him track captain over one of the strongest colored clubs in the country: Undoubtedly Travancell is the best known local colored athlete owing to his long connection with the High School of Commerce track team and his winning of the metropolitan junior championship two years ago. In his residence may be seen silver cups and trophies, silently telling of many hard fought battles on the cinder path. Next week we hear from Bill Murray, "the man of the hour" in the Smart Set A.

NEW YORK july 16, 1917 First Emmanuel Church The Rev. Richard Bishop, pastor of the Emmanuel Church said morning that what is regarded as the collapsed church is a. wrong view and as a misunderstanding of true Church. His church is not an institution developing human peaceful order. The teachers and preachers in it, should not die credit what is not credible to its good works is not fund- dable to its existence. The effect of this righteous activity will be quietness and assurance forever. We should, therefore, gray the spirit to create, to build the towers He did the Appointment to, who said, "But we glory in tribulation also; knowing that tribulation worketh patience and patience experience. And experience hope; and hope God is abred adhored in our hearts by the Holy God, which is given unto us; for when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ dled for the ungodly man, and he was who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. He gave Himself for our sins that He might deliver us from this prince of the earth, and he will of God and our Father, and unto them that look for Him, He shall appear the second time without sin to salvation. He is the first begetter of the kingdom of the earth; we are to look for His return; hence there is no relapse in the true church, nor is there to be found a disarrangement or entanglement of divine-human relations of spirit as He was at first. It is He who makes known to us the personal presence of the immanuel. This conscious knowledge of the holy presence qualifies us to work in the church through the medium of this exchange of thought, the great and true work of His church is made known to us. Faith in the Lord and faith in the Holy God and faith in ourselves, is the one and single lever that can raise us above time serving and decaying human institutions to the height where we see and enter into a Kingdom of God. Believers in Christ come with us and we will do the good, but the good coming to you is a gift from our Lord, and the Sunday School had a pleasant session.
