C., June 23 — The "grandfather clause," by which Southern States have disfranchised hundreds of thousands of Negroes, while permitting any white man to vote, received its death blow from the Supreme Court of the United States on Monday, June 21. The decision of the court that the "grandfather clause" was unconstitutional was unanimous, and is virtually the first ruling by the highest court on this point. The court has side-stepped this issue several times, but the question is now answered so flatly in the negative that it is doubtful whether any further laws aimed at disfranchising the Negroes will include the "grandfather clause." This decision invalidates the "grandfather clause" of the Maryland law, only recently adopted, and applied only to State and city elections, and the similar clause in the Oklahoma law, which applied to all elections. The Maryland law was an attempt to avoid any national issue on which the case could be taken to the Supreme Court. property and Other Tests for Maryla nd Voters also Rejected. Property and other tests for voters enacted by the Maryland Legislature for Annapolis in the same act in which the "grandfather clause" was inserted was held to be so closely related to the latter clause as to make all the qualifications fall. In the case of Oklahoma, the clause was embodied in an amendment to the State Constitution, which imposed a literacy test from which those who were entitled to vote prior to January 1, 1860, those who were then foreigners, and their lineal descendants were exempted. As to Maryland, the clause was embodied in a law relating to registration in municipal elections. VOL.

In the case of Oklahoma, the move to the State Constitution, who those who were entitled to vote prior then foreigners, and their lineal of Maryland, the clause was embodied municipal elections. Chief Justice White handed down first the court's opinion in the Oklahoma case and lawyers agreed that the ruling out of the Maryland statute was then inevitable. Most of the Constitutional reasoning of the court was set forth in the Oklahoma case. It was remarked that Justice White is a native of the South and a former Confederate soldier. Oklahoma's Restriction. The case arose from the indictment and conviction of certain election officials in Oklahoma for their part in centering the State Constitutional amendment in question at the general election of 1918. Monday's opinion was technically an answer to questions certified to the Supreme Court by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the English Circuit. The Constitution of Oklahoma, upon which territory was admitted to the Union as a State, gave something very like manhood suffrage. Prior to the election of 1910, however, an amendment was adopted restricting the franchise. The amendment in part was as follows. No person shall be registered as an elector of this State or be allowed to vote in any election herein unless he shall be able to read and write any section of the Constitution of the State of Oklahoma, or who was on January 1, 1966, or at any time prior thereto entitled to vote under any form of government, or who at any time resided in some foreign nation and no lineal descendant of such person shall be denied the right to vote, because of his inability to so read and write sections of such Constitution. Chief Justice White's Opinion. The contentions of the election officers as plaintiffs in error, really setting forth the position of the State, are thus outlined by the Chief Justice. It is said that the States have the power to fix standards for suffrage and that power was not taken away by the Fifteenth Amendment. It is limited to the extent of the prohibitions which that amendment established. This being true in the make any discrimination on the basis of race, color or previous condition of servitude, since all other Negro or white who come with its requirements, enjoy the privilege of voting, there is no imped upon which to rest the prohibition of the Fifteenth Amendment. This is insisted, must be the case unless it is intended to expressly declare the State's right to provide a standard for suffrage, or what is about thereto, to assert, (n) The judgment of the State of the power is subject to Federal judicial review or to supervision, or (b) that it may be questioned or brought within the prohibitions of the amendment by attributing to the legislative authority an occult motive to violate the amendment or by assuming that an exercise of the otherwise lawful power may be invalidated because of conclusions concerning its operation in practical execution and resulting discrimination arising therefrom, abstent from discrimination was not expressed in the degree of likely abuse the implied but simply arose from inequalities naturally inhering in those who must come within the standard in order to enjoy the right to vote." The Government's View The Government instated, on the other hand, that the real question involved" is the repackaging of the standard which the amendment makes based upon the conditions existing on January 1, 1566, because on its face and inherently considering the substance of things, that standard is a mere dual of the restriction of the Fifteenth Amendment and by necessary results recreates and perpetuates the very conditions which the amendment was intended to destroy." The Chief Justice summed up the opinion of the court in these words: We are unable to discover how, unless the prohibitions of the Fifteenth Amendment were considered the slightest reason was affording for basing the classification upon a peremptory motion in the Fifteenth Amendment. Certainly it cannot be said that there was any peculiar pecuniary in the time WILLIAM M. CHIEF JUSTICE WHITE of the U. S. Supreme Court named which engendered attributes affecting the qualification to vote which would not exist at another nineteenth Amendment was in view. HOW OTHER SOUT STATES ARE A Special to the New York Acad JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June General Literacy Test Nullified The court took the view that ordinarily the question whether the nullification of the exceptions of the grandfather clause would at the same time make void the general literacy test to which it was appended would be for the State to decide. In the absence of a decision by a State court the Chief Justice, however, said that the Federal tribunal would pass upon the question. Ordinarily a provision like the literacy test, which is legal in itself, would not be destroyed by the wiping out of an illegal accompanying provision. But the plan meaning of the Oklahoma Constitution was that the reading test should not be made to dissuade literal descendants of Voters prior to 1800. This would be accomplished in many cases by continuing the reading test without the offensive exceptions, the whole provision was stricten out. The fight over the question of disfranchising the Negro or restricting the Negro vote has been before the courts in one form or another for years. About fifteen years ago the so-called "grandfather Clause" was invented. In its most popular form it exempted from educational and property tests for voting those who could vote in 1860, 1867 or 1888. In point of age the vote would have been of "grandfather" age. In Maryland the clause was inserted in laws governing elections in various cities. In 1908 it was inserted in the law governing municipal elections in the city of Annapolis. It authorized the registration as voters of all taxpayers of the city assessed for at least $500; all duly naturalized citizens, all male children of naturalized citizens twenty-one years of age, and "all citizens who prior to January 1, 1808 were entitled to vote in the State of Maryland or any other State of the United States at a State election and the lawful male descendants of any person who prior to January 1, 1808 were entitled to vote in the State of Maryland or in any other State of the United States at a State election. Confirms Conviction of Election Officials. Frank J Gunn and J J Beal, Oklahoma election officers were convicted for preventing Negroes from voting in the 1910 Congressional election and sentenced to imprisonment for one year and to pay a line of $100. They appealed to the Appellate Court at St Louis which passed the case along to the Supreme Court without trying it. The lower court was upheld and the conviction confirmed by the decision. In the Maryland case the court awarded damages to three Negroes to be paid by election officials of Annapolis, who had refused to register them John B. Anderson, William H. Howard and Robert Brown colored of Annapolis, were responsible for the test case Among Counsel for them was former Attorney General Charles J. Bomparte of Baltimore Election officials at Annapolis refused to register these colored men so that the could vote in the election. The federal judge based on the fact that they could not qualify under the 'ancestor' rule. A civil suit for damages was instituted against Charles E. Meyers and A. Claude Kalney the election officials who barred them from registry. The United States Circuit Court for Maryland returned a verdict for nominal damages against the election officials. The court held that under the offence amendment they had the right to vote at all elections. The election officials demurred claiming this amendment did not apply to State elections. The court overruled the demurrier and the officials conceded to the United States Supreme Court. The court held that these election officials could not ignore the potency of the Fifteenth Amendment in striking out the word "white" as a qualification for voting and that this amendment applies to municipal elections as well as to Federal elections. THURSDAY, JUNE 24, 1915 BISHOP FROM Defeat the WAS Bishop Senior Turner Be Proud Bishop of the U. S. Supreme Court HOW OTHER SOUTHERN STATES ARE AFFECTED Special to The New York Act. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 21—The decision of the Supreme Court in the matter of the grandfather clause will in no wise affect affairs in Florida. This State conducts all elections on the Australian ballot system, and this results in a practical elimination of the illiterate vote. This is the only educational requirement here. Special to THE NEW-YORK ACE. NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 21—Tennessee is not affected by the annulment of the grandfather's clause. The Australian ballot system exists wherever the Negro vote would be likely to control an election. The law requires the voter to mark his own ballot in secrecy. The Negro is not voted to any extent in the restricted counties except when he has been schooled, after a long, tedious process. In the rural districts the law has served to eliminate the Negro vote. Spent to the New York Age. February 14, 2014—June 21—The grandfather is expired in this State on December 15, 1908. Every person in this State in order to vote must be able to read and write any section of the State Constitution. The Negroes who could not register and vote under the grandfather clause are now excluded from voting by reason of the educational qualifications. Spent to the New York Age. ATLANTA (Ga.) June 21—It is not regarded as likely that the ruling of the Supreme Court will affect the provision of the Constitution of Georgia. Senator Hoke Smith, whose first race for Governor of Georgia was made successfully upon the issue of the grandfather clause to might make the following statement. "I cannot discuss the decision until I have seen it in form but it was generally conceded at Washington by those representing both sides of the case that such a ruling would not affect constitutional amendments similar to that of the Constitution or the State of Georgia." cial to The New York Age Richmond, Va. June 21 - Virginia is not disturbed by the Supreme Court decision. The new Constitution which went into effect in 1902 contains no such clause. The Constitution provides for the registration of veterans who went through the war and for the registration of their sons. Then the property owner is qualified and next comes the educational qualification of voters. The late John S. Wise attacked the Constitution on behalf of the Negroes of the State who are barred because of the educational clause. The Constitution was upheld by the courts. To New York Ack.

The right of suffrage is based on educational and property qualifications alone. SEGREGATION MIX-UP IN LOUISVILLE BLOCK N.Y.C. TO NEW YORK, A.C. SIGNAL IN THE NEW YORK ACE. LOUISVILLE, Ky June 22.—The opinion of the Kentucky Court of Appeals holding the segregation law valid has caused an interesting question to come up in this city. A block wherein the white residents were slightly in the majority a few weeks ago now has a slight Negro majority brought about by the moving out of a white family. The question is whether that house shall be rented to Negroes, since they are in the majority in that block, or to whites since white people last occupied the house. Attaches of the ely attorney's office are of the opinion that the property may be rented to either white or colored persons, but if rented to Negroes then it may not be ever rented to whites as long as Negroes are in the majority in that block. BISHOP FLIPPER BOLTS FROM BISHOPS' COUNCIL WAS ASSISTANT SECRETARY Bishop Lee, Former Secretary, Became Senior Bishop After Death of Bishop Turner, and Flipper Thought He Should Be Promoted, but Council Turned Him Down — Walked Out With Southern Bishops Succial to The New York Age. WILHELBORO, O., June 23.—The Council of Bishops of the A. M. E. Church met with Witbertorce University last week, was the scene of a stormy episode when the question of the election of a successor to Bishop Benjamin R. Lee as secretary of the council came up. Bishop Lee had been secretary of the council for years, but the recent death of Bishop Henry M. Turner elevated him to the position of senior prelate. I attended of Bishop James S. J.叔尔 Atlanta thought that, massimus as he had been assistant secretary of the council, he should be the logical successor of Bishop Lee. Some of the bishops, remembering that Bishop Flipper had assailed the Council of Bishops through the church papers about four years ago, thought it would not be fitting to elect him to such an important position. Bishop Flipper, in his letters to the church organs, charged that the council had not adopted a rule of action for its guidance during the fifty years that it had been in existence and made other severe criticisms, declaring that he did not intend to attend its sessions again. Flipper Had Criticized Brother Bishop. He was also chagrimed by the fact that the bishops would not try some charges that had been made against the administration of the late Bishop Games. In accordance with his threat to remain about from the sessions of the bishops, Bishop Flipper did not attend a session of the council for the next eighteen months. He however, attended one need at Mobile. When the pranks met at Atlanta he attended, but, it is claimed, had a serious disagreement with some of his colleagues. He missed the one at New Orleans last February. When the name of Bishop John Hurst was proposed as the successor, Bishop Leo, a secretary and his election seemed assured the friends of Bishop Flipper arrose and declared that sectional considerations caused the bishops to overlook the fact that he (Flipper), having served as assistant secretary, should get the secretaryship. Southern Bishops Incensed. Bishop Flipper, William D. Chappelle and James M. Conner, each of whom lives in the South, made bitter speeches against their colleagues from other sections of the country, charging that the South was being discriminated against. The right of the bishops to elect a secretary at this time was also questioned, and Bishop Flipper, it is said, refused an election rather than admit that right. The three bishops from the South then took trans for their respective homes and the election of Bishop Hurst followed. The stand of the Southern bishops created a situation among the many ministers and laymen who had been attracted there by the sessions of the bishop and the commencement of Wilberforce University. The Southern ministers in attendance about a resolution which claimed that the training down of Bishop Flipper would be instrumental to the interests of the church in the South. Bishop Charles S. Smith was chosen to preside over the conferences of the late Bishop Turner. ALL PRIVATE PROPERTY SUBJECT TO THE STATE PRESIDENT KY. June 22—The Court of Appeal, on June 18, handed down an order, the Judge Hannah, holding the Louisville segregation ordinance in court. I am issuing the question Judge Hannah declared that all private property is held subject to the unchallenged right and power of the state to impose upon the use and amount thereof such real estate regulations as are deemed expended for the public welfare. There is nothing in the ordinance which takes away from any person the right to acquire property anywhere in the city, but the ordinance does prohibit the occupant of the property under certain circumstances. The judge said that Kentucky was committed to the principle of the separation of races and that the ordinance is not to segregate as a measure of imposing stigma, "but in order to prevent such conflicts as are shown by this record to have resulted in Louisville from racial discord consequent upon close association of the races, and in order that solidarity of the races may be preserved." NEGRO APPOINTED AS TRANSITUII Inc. June 22—For the first time in this city a Negro, Frnest Boltingham, has been appointed as a special police officer. The appointment was announced on June 17 by Edgar Schmidt, chief of police, and it goes to the Board of Safety for ratification. SUPREME COURT HELPS MARYLAND NEGROES Special to The New York Age BALTIMORE, Md., June 23—The decision of the United States Supreme Court knocking out the "grandfather" clause in the Annapolis election law and in the Oklahoma constitution is especially gratifying to the colored citizens of Maryland. It was here that a United States District Court first declared the "grandfather" clause invalid, and the Frederick County Court also declared that way in May, 1913. The decision will estop Democrats from again attempting to disfranchise the Negro. At this moment two factions in the Democratic party in Maryland are in a titanic struggle for control of the organization. On one side United States Senator Blair Lee is fighting for the Democratic nomination for Governor, and on the other side United States Senator John Walter Smith is backing Controllor Emerson C Harrmgton for the nomination. Both of these men are allowed enemies of Negro suffrage and civil rights, but they cannot promise disfranchisement now. Maryland has already defeated three suffrage amendments passed by the legislature, and it is, as said before, the first State where disfranchisement has been successfully combatted, thereby paving the way for the disfranchised thousands of the South to regain their suffrage rights. A. M. E. MISSION BOARD MEETS IN BIBLE HOUSE In calling to order the Home and Foreign Mission Board of the A. M. E. Church in the chapel of the American Bible Society, Wednesday morning, Bishop Charles Spencer Smith of Detroit, Mich., said the European war was a menace to foreign missions, giving it at least fifty years' set-back. "God does not suffer a permanent vacant place in nature," said Bishop Smith, "and the present war finds on the firing line the artists, poets, sculptors, statesmen and thinkers of the continent, and when the war is ended there will be many vacancies that God will fill from some source, and I believe it will come from the darker races." He referred to the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, touching the 15th Amendment, and showing its relation to missions. His address was timely and full of information and sound advice. The Rev. D, H Johnson of Greenville S. C. conducted the opening of the board, and roll call showed the following present. Bishop C. S.

Robertson, deacon of the Baptist Church, and James Hendricks former superintendent of the Sunday School prominent white citizens of this community, are under arrest, with between other white men on indictment charging them with the murder of Harrison Maddox, an old and respected Negro who was killed near this place on the night of April 26. Maddox, with other respectable Negroes, were taken from the home of a family named Short by a mob of thirty or forty white men, who intended to lay them a whipping. Passing through Rockport Maddox made an offer to escape. Several shots were fired and Maddox fell mortally wounded. Citizens of the town were aroused by the shooting and rushing out recognized a number of the men composing the mob it is alleged CANADA'S ONLY NEGRO KING'S COUNSEL DEAD AMHERSTBORG, CANADA, June 22.—Delos R Davis, K C, who died here recently, was the only Negro barrister in Canada ever made a King's Counsel. He was also the first member of his race to be admitted to practice law in Canada. He died at the age of 68. Mr Davis was the son of a Virginia slave who escaped to Canada by the underground junta in 1850. His parents settled in New Canaan, Colchester North. He went later to Vipollan Muh, where he taught school and he retired insurer. He was admitted to the Canaan bar in 1887 and practiced in Amherstburg until 1909, when he retired. He was made King's Counsel by Sir James Whitney in 1908. In 1881 Mr Davis organized the township of Colchester and held many public offices in the community. He leaves six children, Fred H., Delos R., Jr., James, Wava, Bertha and Dora, all living in Amherstburg. PRICE FIVE CENTS BAPTISTS OF NEW ENGLAND MEET Hold Forty-First Annual Session With Mount Olivet Church, New York Rev. W. Bishop Johnson Declares that Church Life Is a Potential Factor in Racial Integrity and Enterprise. STANDS FOR NEGRO BRAND The New England Convention is a Negro Institution and Believes in the Capability of the Race, First, Lest and all the Time, With Faith in a Glorious Future. The forty-first-annual session of the New England Missionary Baptist Convention opened Thursday, June 17, at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, 159 West 53d street, the Rev William P. Hayes, pastor, and closed Monday night, June 21, with a large reception tendered to delegates and visiting ministers by the pastor. More than 250 delegates were present, representing 127 bodies, which included state conventions, district associations and local churches located in the territory from New Hampshire to North Carolina, New York to Pittsburgh, Pa. The delegates reported $55,000 raised and expended for education and missions during the convention year. $2,702.58 were raised at the convention, which makes a total of $7,702.58. $25,000 were given to the Virginia Theological Seminary and College at Lynchburg. The feature of the opening was the annual address of the president, the Rev W Bishop Johnson, who spoke in part, as follows The President's Annual Address. Once more in the silent revolution of time, we are assembled in the annual session of the Grand Old New England Missionary-Baptist Convention. We stand upon the threshold of another year. Looking backward, we see that the church has enjoyed unusual peace and prosperity. Great revivals have characterized the life of our denominational family and many thousands have been added to God's holy army while equally as many have been quickened to do more for the extension of the Mager's Kingdom. Never have we been accompanied with greater evidence that the church life of the Nero is a potential factor in racial development. The church is today, as it always has been, the supply house for racial integrity and enterprise. All the great moral, social, business and educational concerns that the church has faced in the volume of race efficiency have been born in our churches, and we would be the basest migrates if we attempted to deny it. It was within the sacred confines of the church that we caught the vision—God and Race. Since then we have pressed our way to the mount of sufficiency, through the wide deep valley of sacrifice suffering and service. The influence of this body should be felt in every part of our conventional district. We should link ourselves with every state convention and district association. Our representative should be at each annual meeting of these district bodies and their representatives should be with us and on our boards, so that they may acquaint us of their needs and secure our cooperation in bringing out their plans. We can't be great and great without this close cooperation and organization. Your president feels that our whole future usefulness depends upon the idea of real cooperation in methods money, men and missionary efforts. Must Have a System. We want a system. We have men, money and measures. We must have system. God does not work without a plan. why should we try? As an organization we are reconfiguring this fact more and more. The Educational Board has made wonderful steps to the Northern University. This has organized, organized and decided to begin the work of educating the masses of our people who are living in our churches and knowing at our doors for light and knowledge. But we can never get the credit for our work nor form a self respecting idea of the magnitude of what we are doing until we are really convinced that we need of united effort in making this the down call to the legal support of our convention. No department of denominational work can suffer when the educational and missionary spirit is alive. The Christian religion is a missionary religion. The New England Missionary Consul, a congregation for the poor, thus has the Negro brand upon it. She believes in the capability of the Negro, first last and all the time. Her faith in a glorious future for the race leads her to plan and suffer, remembering that "The sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us." She also believes "That no man should strike the blow. The prime factor in the solution of our problem is the Negro himself.

A VICTORY ~ ‘At last, the Atkerican Negro gets a favorable decision from the United States Supreme Court. The decision rocently handed down which.-kills the “grand- father clauses” is the greatest na- tional victory achieved for the race since the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment, The decision is against the re- .sttictions imposed by the states ‘of Oklahoma and Maryland, but is so broad and far-reaching’ that it_renders unconstitutional every Eas TElatiNtg.—ta the franchise “Which does not in letter and spirit apply equally to white and black citizens. This will evidently carry consternation to the hearts ‘of.those who believe, or pretend to believe, that the spirit of the nation depends upon fixing the laws so as to five all white men a perpetual right to vote, and deny- ing the vote to black men. This is the second time within a year that the highest court in the land.has taken a favorable attitude on rights of the Negro as an American citizen. Some months ago a majority of the Su- preme Court expressed the opin- jon that the “Jim Crow” laws ‘were unconstitutional. No de- cree was handed down, but the opinion expressed was not only a partial victory for the race, but was a distinct change in the his- toric attitude of the Court. This regent opinion is nut a mere opinion, but is handed down asa formal decision. It deals the death blow to “grandfather clauses” and all other legalized frauds and snbterluges for de- priving the Negroes of the right to vote. Iv is a matter of comment that both these recent favorable de- cisions were drawn out om cases coming’ up from Oklahoma, The state of Oklahomg is leading in the New Emancipation. * If the colored people in New York are fo have a new ¥.

The colored people of this city are the ones who will occupy-an¢ use the building other people will oily visit it occasionally. They are the ones who must build up the Association, if it is to be built up. So they are the ones, through their committee, who should ave the final choice as to wherhe building is to be located. ‘The choice of the colored com mittee of this city should super: sede that of the white committe. of this city, and much more shoul it supersede the opinion of vai putsider, even though fe “be ar International Secretary of the As sociation and a cotored man, Fur. therefore, if it is true ys’ reported that Secretary Morelanfi ridiculed the ides of apy,colored (man being VIBWS “AND REFIEWS . ~_.... THE MYSTERY OF MYSTERIES, 0". “The New York Times recently had the following to say in an editorial on the now celebrated Frank case: ' “Everywhere except in Georgia it has seemed that, what’ was discovered, after the trial, in regard to the paper ou which the notes were written, was a sufficient reason for granting a new "hearing of the case before a new Jury, That it was not.sb cone, sidered thert is one of the many mysteries that inark the whole ‘: affair—perhaps a mystery as great as how it came to pass that, ina soutliern city, a white man of good standing and character ‘was convicted on the uftsupported word of a Negro like Cpnicy.” The Times considers jt a mystery that what was discovered, after the trial, regarding the paper on which the famous murder notes were written, vas not considered, in Georgia, sufficient reason for granting Frank a new trial. We see nothing particularly mysti- fying in this. It seems that the courts of Georgia simply considered that the “new evidence” was not such as would have any bearing upon tlie merits of the case. , . But when the Times declares it a mystery “that in a southern city, a White man of good standing and character was convicted on the unsupported word of a Negro like Conley” we are forced to agree. However, we go farther than the Times. We should consider it a mystery if, in a southern city, a white man of no standing and 0: notoriously bad character should be ‘convicted on the unsupporte ! jord of any kind of a Negro. Nevertheless, we are not so mystified that we cannot see that the Imystification of The Times is due to a reason directly opposite to jours. The Times is mystified because twelye good Southern white men could so far forget all the sacred and long established’ ptinciples lof Southern’ Anglo-Saxonism as to bring in a verdict of “guilty” against another white man, when there was a Negro handy upoi whom the blame gould have been placed. We are mystified because these sarne twelve men could, in spite of long established‘and inher- ited prejudice, bring in a verdict which they believed to be in accord: ance with the law, and the law alone. Is'the distinction too subtle? If so, let us put it another way. ‘The ‘Fimes is'mystified because the jury did not do wrong. \V'e are mystified because-the jury did do right. Ducs:that make it plain? f not, we shall have to leave the reader to think it out If this point has puzzled The Times as much as it has puzzled us, t will find that it is much easier to believe Frank guilty than to get any other explanation to the’mystery, Governor Slaton las commuted Frank's sentence to life impris- onment, In this the Governor is entirely within his rights; so the State oi Georgia is not legally injured, Many people who vady be- heve Frank guilty will approve the commutation for the reason that they are opposed to capital punishment, Frank is fortunate, and we do not begrudge him bis good fortune. Our only interest in the case has been that the guilt should not be put on Conley merely because of his race. : ‘ 4 And still, Governor Slaton’s action only deepens the mystery alluded to by The Times. Hf, after going over all the evidence, be had doubts of Frank’s guilt, how could a jury of white men conyict the prisoner, and let an accused Negro go free? No theory of racial lor religious. prejudice against Frank can explain it. .'. JESS WILLARD ON-RACE:PREJUDICE.

So, te is devoting hin Self-to “iterature" rane of the New York dailies‘he is running series of articles about Wiiiself aiat the prize ring in general. ~~. One of his recent articles attracted our attention because it wi headed “Willard Télls Why He Will Not Fight Another Negro We quote here the paragraph in which he states his reason. -Aft declaring all the colored heavyweights not to be in his class, he say: * “But this is my.real reason—a championship fight between a, black man and a white makes bad blood between the races.” : Willard’s reason for not fighting & Negro was what drew o1 artention to his article, but jt was far from being the mos| interest thing about it. He went on to say some of the best things abot great colored fighters that have ever been said in print, Tere are few of his paragraphs: : & “Iam not saying this ina mean way. I'm not excusing white ~ men for feeling that way. I think st shows igngrance. But lots Of white men did feel that way.

In its editorial col- tumns it cries qut against the in- humane treatment of the Jews in Russia, but is as mute as an Egyptian mummy on the persecu: tion of the Negto in America, ex- cept when it finds time to make a miserable and unsuccessful effort to show the public that the ill treatment of Negroes is justifi- able. In seeking clemency for Leo M. Frank, the slayer of Mary Pha- gan, the Times has led the ‘clamor for justice: and now. vigorously applauds Gov, Slaton's action in commuting Frank's sentence. But in the same breath this “consist- ent champion” of law and order, justice and fair play, sunbecom- ingly exhibits deep. resentment over the deéision ofthe United States Supreme Court in declar- ing jtwalid. the “Grandfather Clause," which has illegally kept thousands of Negro citizens from voting in the South, Ifundreds of Negro citizens buy the Times daily for personal per- ‘usal, and there are scores of Irall- boys and other members of the race engaged in domestic service. who, when sent for a daily paper, buy ‘the Times at their own in- stance. It is high time the Negro was learning. to differentiate be- tween enemy and friend. With such great papers as the Now York World, the Globe, Evening Post and Tribune demanding that the Negro be given a square deal, why not spend your pennies with such real champions.of the people and boost theit circulation instead of atrengthéning. the Times, San land Journal?* =~." - ixoa? <1 don't: any y ass «sostealne<Rhentiegees to does eth often ier Mi eee ss efete quite natinered, well-behaved lads,'ind taranie oF aca Pa +” tothe ring than many ofthe whitelfightets they met”. “After giving many -reniinistences of the ring, jllustrating. the fact that fighting ability is:not“dépendent upon race, he summed up his opuiiaiis about race prejudice-m the fllowaug wordss~ “** "SI just méiition these thinigs to show how foolish we all are . when. it comes to thinking that one race is better than another. + Pr that it proves anything’ whel a aan of one race whips a ‘man of another race.

For, in the first place, everybody expects a real college presi desit to talk like that; and, in the’second place, what a real colleg. president says'reaches, comparatively, few people; and they would be the kind of people who, if they had strong raéial prejudices, woule be rather ashamed to assert them, at least, forcibly. But what the chainpion prize fighter ‘of the world siys in a widely circulated newspaper will reach a great mass of people whe not only have racial prejudices, but boast of the fact. “And what he says will carry more weight with them than the words of all the college.presidents in the country, 5 . COMMENT HERE AND THERE. SUN, SORES Wr a ewer neue Wtreeeee: BPOSS) CARAIGES: Mey SG AN Eee stands for Kentucky. Frankfort is the capital of Kentucky: “+ "Eraskrort, Ky, June 19.—Constitutionality of the Louis- ville, Ky., segregatiol ordinance, designed’ to prevent” people of + the white or the colored race occupying for a home or as a place of public assemblage a building located in a block, a : majority of the residents of which are of the other race, was upheld in a decision yesterday by the Kentucky Court of Appeals. ve the ordinance was passed by the Louisville Common Council s._sin May, 1914." = % If this sort of thing did not-invglve stich far, reaching effects we should be inclined to laugh at it for its.sheer absurdity. Here lare white people who have colored people to take care of their homes, to cook their food, and to’ nurse’ their’ children—and, in many’ in- stances, the rélations are still more intimate—yet who object to a colored family being in the sarhe block, no matter how intelligent. fefined or wealthy. « : Of course, we know the’ objection is.mainly against intelligence, refinement and wealth. ‘The National Women’s Temperance Union is reported as having raised a protest against the Use of wine in christening the new battle- ship “Arizona” when she was launched. . That is the kind of misdirected zeal that will hurt any cause. no matter how worthy the cause may be. What possible good could come out of a protest against the old custom 6f smashing a bottle of wine against the bow of a warship on naming her? The wine so used could do-neither the ship nor any- thing else any damage. Perhaps the tidies of the Union felt that it set a bad example; but it isan example that very few will be able to follow. The National Women’s Temperance Union is undoubtedly an lorganiaztion with an important work before it, the work of reducing drunkenness and intemperance; for that reason it should not waste its energy and influence in such ludicrous efforts as that of stopping officials from bathing the steel nose of a battleship with wine. The more wine used to wash battleships, the less to be drunk.

(BL LESTER A. WALTON.) WITH Bert Williams standing out in bold relief as the principal fun-maker blit-Ziegfeld Follies of 1915" which opened Monday evening in a blaze of glory at the New Amsterdam Theatre, and with the announcement given out this week by the Shuberts that they had signed Charlie Hart, formerly of Avery & Hart, for a term of three years to appear in Broadway musical productions, the opinion prevails that the real colored comedian is soon to come into his own. "Real colored comedian" is used advisedly, for with the exception of Bert Williams real colored comedians on Broadway have been a rare article in recent years. There have been blackface comedians galore, however, such as the Jolsons and Tinneys, some of whom are clever, but no more clever than some of our real colored fun-makers who would make good if given a chance. Like the modern dance, the blackface comedian is all the rage just now, and in most of the big Broadway productions you will find one, be he the real thing or imitation. Of course, with the real thing little inconsistencies crop out now and then to embarrass and discourage him. You seldom see the picture of a Simon-pure in the daily paper, under cork or otherwise, although the imitation is frequently published in the dailies surrounded by a bevy of white beauties. Nor is the real thing permitted to work on the stage with maidens fair, but the imitation, no matter how black, has the privilege of romping about with damsels fair in such lively fashion and in such close proximity as to sometimes transfer some of the cork to the pink-cheeked members of the fair sex, which stunt is oftimes done "By accident on purpose," and invariably causes a big laugh. A very interesting, as well as bewildering, subject is "The Psychology of Color Prejudice," where you will find absurdities and incongruities growing wild in prodigal protusion. But these are adverse conditions due to a lack of knowledge of things, and time alone will bring about a happier and a more natural adjustment. After all, it is the opportunity in life we first want, and with this fundamental ambition realized all else follows in consecutive order as do the seasons in the year. For instance, for the past five or six seasons Bert Williams has been doing pioneer work, and the path of the pioneer is never strewn with roses. Sacrifice after sacrifice and concession after concession had to be made while blasting a way for himself and others, and it is gratifying to note that in this beautiful June time of roses there are encouraging evidences that Mr Williams' efforts are bearing fruit. So those of us who lament over the fact that the daily papers evince a preference for publishing photos of white comedians under cork and in comical poses to those colored comedians, whether under cork or face clean and all dressed up in their Sunday best, etc., let us consider that after all such inconsistencies are trivial when the real big question — Opportunity — is taken into consideration. To earn an honest livelihood is one of the big questions in life, and there are thousands of people, both colored and white, who would be perfectly willing to have their pictures kept out of the papers if given an opportunity to make a big salary on Broadway as a comedian Vanity is one thing; bread and butter is another. The Lafayette Theatre. Some bill at the Lafayette Theatre the first half of the week, and even the heat failed to lessen the enthusiasm of the patrons, who were most generous in their applause. The headliners were Shelton Brooks and Clarence Bowen, who were a hit on the big time last winter. This is truly an entertaining turn and both young men shine brilliantly from a musical standpoint. Clarence Bowen is one of the sweetest singers in vaudeville, and he is developing into a finished artist, while Shelton Brooks plays the piano and sings his own compositions in a diverting manner. And he displays taste and judgment by putting over his numbers without overexerting himself or shouting as some performers deem it necessary. This act is really, big-time caliber. The biggest applause receivers on the bill were Hampton and Bowman, who went big at each performance, in some instances stopping the show. The act is stronger now than when seen at the Lafayette during the winter with three people. Hampton & Bowman have finally, whipped into shape a turn which should make them sit up and take notice on any bill, large of small. Their work as singers stamps them as artists. The Kratons, considered the best hoop-rolling act in the business, are back at the Lafayette after an absence of several months, and they work with their accustomed vim and win the admiration of the audience with their great work, with the hoops. The other acts on the bill the first half THE WEDDING OF MARY AND JOHN HAMPTON & BOWMAN were the Metropolitan Players, real actors in a real sketch; Mack & Sherwin and Hecklow & Roller. Brooks & Bowen, the Kratons and Hampton & Bowman have been held over for the second half of the week. McKissick & Craddock and Marshall, King & Marshall were among the acts to go big the second half of last week. The Musical Spillers will headline the bill at the Lafayette Theatre next week, and Fiddler & Shelton will top the bill the following week.

She also was a member of the Empire Theatre pantomime, playing a leading role in a cast with such celebrities as Adeline Genee. When she returned to America and joined the Cole & Johnson forces she created a sensation by her singing of Rosamond Johnson's famous "The Bleeding Moon." This song she will give in costume at the recital.
