The New York Age INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT PHOTOS Pictures of Babies that are Reproduced in The Age During Better Babies Comest GOOD ONES·NECESSARY Publication of a Baby's Picture Does Not Mean that the Child Will be a Prize Winner, as Judges will Decide That. CONTEST WILL BENEFIT Mothers Are Expressing Their Belief that The Age Better Babies' Contest Will Cause Better Care to be taken of Babies —Some. Interesting Letters From Mothers Telling About Their Kiddies. Because of the increase in the number of photographs of babies already received in THE NEW YORK AGE BABIES' Contest, it becomes necessary this week to reproduce nine photos, instead of six as last week. From the present indications the interest generated in the BERTES BABIES' Contest will far exceed that which was manifested last autumn in the Beauty Contest. It must be understood, however, that whether a baby's picture is reproduced in the columns of THE AGE or not, its chance for a prize will be in no worse affected. The publishing of the photo is regulated simply by the space which can be given to the pictures and by the suitability of the photo for reproduction. Many photos are received which cannot be reproduced, because the photo is not clear enough. If there is a defect in a photo, many attempt to have a man made will reproduce that defect, such as magnifying it. Small pictures, such as miniatures, ping-pongs, and others of a similar character, cannot be reproduced successfully. As a rule the post-card photo, which is so popular nowadays, make a good reproduction, because it is generally sharp and clear. The better the photograph the more chance it has for being printed. All photos received, whether good or bad, cheap or expensive, will be most carefully filed away and submitted to the judges at the close of the contest. If stamps for return are enclosed with the photo it will be carefully wrapped and returned to sender when the judges conclude their findings. Publishing Does Not Mean Prize Winning. It should also be clearly understood by all parents and friends that the publishing of the photo does not mean that the baby has been selected as a prize winner. The selection of the photos for reproduction is done in THE Age once by the Contest Editor, and is controlled simply, as stated above, by suitability for reproduction. The Contest Editor, or any other attache of THE Age, will have no connection whatever with the committee of judges. The seven judges, as previously announced, will be selected from disinterested and capable outsiders, some of them being physicians, who will be invited to act in this capacity and will not even hold their meetings in THE Age office. This repetition of statements that have already been published is made necessary by the fact that a number of letters are received which indicate that the writers have an idea that publishing the picture will necessarily follow upon its receipt, and that such publication will mean a prize winner. Good Results from Contest. That the BETTER BABIES CONTEST will have a permanent effect for good is clearly shown by the letters recieved. Many of the mothers have expressed a desire to learn more of the proper care of babies and as is shown by the photos reproduced, many of them already are applying advanced and scientific thought to their studies. One mother writes, "I take great pleasure in enter- into the Better Babies' Con- test our baby, aged 10 to 12 months, poised to help the con- test our successful instruc- tion to mothers for better and to neither children." Another mother writes : I send you the photo of our boy. He will be three years old. July 29. He has not been sick with the ex- tremities of the measles. For break- age he has cereal of some kind, milk, bread and butter. For breakage at 1:30 o'clock he has any milk, bread and butter.

Was Subject of the Rev. R. C. Ransom, and He Said the Clock is Striking the Hour When the Negro Will Come Into His Own. That the day of the white man is fast drawing to a close, and that the dark races will hold the power of the future, was the declaration made by the Rev Reverdy C. Ransom, editor of the A. M. E. Review, in an address to the X. M. C. A., West 53rd street, last Sunday afternoon. His subject was "What Hour Does the Clock Strike Now." Dr. Ransom predicted that the day is at hand when the dark races will come into the ascendancy, and that the clock is striking the hour when the Negro will come into his own. The white man has revolutionized the world in art and science and has been a great figure in the world uplift. But the war in Europe is the beginning of the fulfillment of the prophecy that the darker races will be the power of the future and will come into an ascendancy that will take the place of the white man of today. The assertion was made by the speaker that the world does not realize the great economic asset the Negro is to the world. All of the coffee, tea, rubber, with other commodities, are grown by the darker races. The world cannot get along without these commodities, and in this particular the Negro cannot be supplanted. Attention was called to the rapid growth of the darker races, and Dr. Ransom declared that they multiply more rapidly than the white races. Alexander Lovett presided, Edward Harrison conducted a song service, the Rey. Wm. Wallace McCary, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church at Eairmont Heights, read the scripture lesson and offered prayer. Miss Jasper Davis gave a recitation Prof. Charles H. Moore, national organizer of the National Negro Business League, was introduced and spoke briefly. GRAND LODGE OFFICERS.

Peter McPherson, Jr. 4 months Tampa, Florida Bernice Amelia Williams 1 year, 6 months Augusta, Georgia THE LADY OF THE CITY LOCAL BUSINESS LEAGUE IN NEW YORK A goodly number of business men and mechanics met Monday evening at 8:30 o'clock in the offices of the National Urban League, corner 7th avenue and 135th street, to hear Prof. Chas H. Moore of Greenboro, N. C., the organizer of the National Negro Business League, on the progress of the Negro in business throughout the country. Toward the close of his speeches Prof. Moore said that a city having as large a Negro population as New York and over three hundred business places in Harlem ought to have a local business league. J. T. Clark, secretary of the Housing Bureau of the Urban League, who was presiding temporarily, gave an opportunity to any one present to say a few words concerning the importance and necessity of a business league and the advisability of organizing one. Several spoke in favor of the proposition. A temporary organization was formed by electing R. i. Nicholas, proprietor of Nick's Lugger Shop, 80 West 135th street, temporary president, and L. T. Clark, temporary secretary. A committee was elected to stimulate plans whereby a permanent organization may be effected. They will meet Thursday afternoon on this week in the rooms of the Men's Social Club on 31st street. GRAND JURY HOLDS GRAND JURY HOLDS WALKER FOR MURDER Special to TUR New York Age. RICHMOND, Va.

Mr Grey sailed for London April 17 with a party of colored musicians to open in a big revue at the London Hippopotamus. Owing to a disagreement between the tar dancers of the revue the dancing feature was eliminated. As the colored musicians had been brought from America for the express purpose of playing in the dancing team, their services were, therefore, no longer required, so a vaudeville act was formed with Joe Jordan as leader. The act was booked over the Moss Empire time and was a big hit from the start, headlining the various bills. For five weeks it won success and went along without a hitch. When the musicians reached New Castle-on-Tyne word was received from the Moss Empire offices in London to lay off a week pending a change in the booking. This order the members of the turn implicitly obeyed until the Zeppelin raid.

One night the musicians were awakened by a great commotion. They nastily arose and sought the landlady of the house. Upon asking her the cause of the confusus on she excitedly told them that Zeppelins were trying to bombard the town and set fire to the powder works. She assured her boarders, however, that at the English gunners were making it very uncomfortable for the air raiders and that there was little chance of the enemy doing much damage. According to Joe Grey, one could bear the noise overhead made by the Zeppelins, but not a ship could be seen Finally the air craft departed leaving the native, as well as the coloured Americans, in a high pitch of excitement. Next day found Joe Grey and the other members of the act in London They cancelled the rest of the booking in the Provinces and an agreement was reached to disband the act indefinitely. Some of the musicians decided to return as soon as possible to America, while others resolved to brave the dangers of war as non-combatants a little longer, but stay in London.

BOOTH PRAISES THE PULLMAN PORTERS Noted Woman Says No Woman Has Ever Been Insulted or Mistreated by a Porter HIGH CLASS OF EMPLOYEES Meeting in Interest of Empire Friendly Shelter at Palace Casino Attended By 2,000 People, Who Hear Eloquent Address from the President and Founder of Volunteers of America. In her address Sunday afternoon at Palace Casino in behalf of the Empire Friendly Shelter, Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth, president of the Volunteers of America, known to thousands of prisoners throughout the United States as the "Little Mother," took opportunity to pay a richly deserved compliment to the Negro Pullman porters of the country. She declared that they were uniformly courteous, obliging and honorable. Not one instance, she affirmed, had ever been known where a Pullman porter had taken advantage of his position to insult or interfere with women passengers entrusted to his care, whether they traveled alone or not. She said that for twenty-nine years she has been traveling in all parts of the country and her own experience has been that, a more courteous and agreeable aggregation of employees are not to be found among any class of people anywhere. Mrs. Booth told of her work throughout the country, some of the incidents being intensely interesting. She emphasized the need of cleansing the souls of the erring and unfortunate, declaring that neither education nor health training can cure the life twisted by sin, vice or drugs. The soul of the prisoner or of any other fortunate is as precious in God's sight as that of the best person in the world, and people make a great mistake in withholding from the returned prisoner human sympathy and support. The speaker told of many men and women restored to splendid manhood and womanhood after having paid the penalty for indiscretions and infractions of the law, both human and divine.

PRICE FIVE CENTS CITY HOSPITALS BAR NEGRO M.D. Impossible for Cornell Medical Graduate to Secure Internship in New York FAILED AT BELLEVUE Took Examination for Admission to House Staff After Being Warned that He Would Get Low Mark for Personality. PREJUDICE AT LINCOLN Strongest Opposition and Prejudice Met at institution Named for Great Liberator, Where It Might be Supposed the Negro Would Find Greatest Opportunity for Development. Rosecoe Conkling Giles is the son of Counselor and Mrs. F. Giles, 1603 Pacific street, Brooklyn, N. Y., and he graduated June 10, 1915, from the Cornell University College. of Medicine, located at 477 First avenue, New York, finishing in Section A, comprised of the ten students with the highest records during the school term. Young Giles first graduated from the Boys' High School, Brooklyn, in 1907, winning the B. B. Christ medal for oratory, and being awarded a $600 scholarship at Cornell. He finished at Cornell in 1911, with high honors, having specialized in chemistry. Receiving his degree of M.D. from the medical institution, Dr. Giles wanted to secure the additional experience which is gotten by serving as an inintere in some large hospital, and, to this end he has made efforts to secure admittance to the house staffs of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals, institutions run by the City of New York, the Harlem Hospital being one of the allied institutions. But he could not secure admission. On the recommendation of influential members of the faculty Dr. Giles attempted to secure a place at the Lincoln Hospital and Home for Aged Colored Men and Women and Training School for Colored Nurses. But not even here could he secure admission. --- He Is a Negro. Dr. Rosece Conkling Giles is a Negro, and this explains how he could be an honor high school graduate, honor college, with membership in the Alpha Phi Alpha Frat, a leading member of the medical college class, and then find the door of further progress and advancement closed in his face. He did not, however, get through the four years' course at the medical college without having to meet and overcome opposition. He was justly popular with his classmates, but members of the faculty could not see a colored boy progress and sit in silence. At the beginning of his second term the secretary of the faculty, one Dr. J. S Ferguson, with simulated kindness and anxiety for his welfare, tried to advise Giles not to continue in the Cornell school because it was hound to be unpleasant, Giles did not see the impending unpleasantness and stayed. The third year and the fourth year the same secretary of the faculty, with the same solicitude, gave the same advice—and Giles pursued the same course. He stuck it out and graduated with honor, and with the good will of his classmates, who were his daily companions, and with no apparent friction in his association with any of them. Accepted Then Rejected Before graduating it became necessary to pursue a stated course in obstetrics at some recognized maternity institution. Accordingly, in September, 1914, Giles made application to the Manhattan Maternity and Dispensary, 327 East 60th street, for admission. His application was granted and he was assigned to a room after he had paid his fee. For five days Giles waited for a case, but in vain, while other students entering at the same time were put on two and three cases daily. When he sought to find a reason for this ignoring it was gently suggested that he might withdraw. Giles fought against this and strove to secure action that would enable him to acquire the needed experience. To this end he called on such friends as Congressman Herman A. Metz, Tenth district, New York, Oswald Garrison Villard and William Jay Schieffelin. Each of these men wrote strong letters declaring prejudicial action of part of the Manhattan Maternity Dispensary, but to no avail, for Mr. Giles received the following letter: Manhattan Maternity Dispensary 327 East 60th Street Nancy E. Cadmus, SuperIntendent. New York, September 18. Roscoe C. Giles, Esq. 327 East 60th Street. Dear sir: I am in receipt of the following com- *Secretary of the Medical Boar Manhattan Maternity & Dis- "At a meeting of the Board of Directors held today, the following resolution was passed RESOLVED, that the action of the Medical Board in requesting Dr. Roscoe C.

Your fees will be returned to You on application to the office. Yours very truly, RICH'D EUREL BROWN, Secretary of the Medical Board. A Pleasant Experience. Giles, refused to accept the return of his fees, but left the Manhattan institution. He matriculated in Dr. Hill's Maternity Clinic, 21b East 70th street, New York, finishing the required course with'results as shown in the following letter received from Dr. I. L. Hill, head of the clinic: October 6, 1914. Mr. Roscoe C. Giles, 1603 Pace Street Brooklyn, N. Y. Dear Sir: In view of the fact that you had en- outered certain difficulties in the pur- suit of your medical studies prior to taking a course in obstetrics at our Clinic. I am pleased to be able to make a favorable report in connection with our services with us. I find that your luttes were satisfactorily performed and that no friction was engendered with members of the medical staff, nurses, nor with patients attended by you. I am glad to be able to give you this letter, with the privilege of using it as a reference, as it is my firm convic- tion that no discrimination, because of ace or color, should or need be made in any institution of this kind. With all good wishes for your future success, I am. Yours very truly, Dr. Hill's Maternity Clinic, I. L. HILL, Director. Experience With the Hospitals. During his school life Mr. Giles served at various hospitals without friction and with the most pleasing results. For two years he examined patients at Bellevue Hospital; twice a week for three months he was at the Metropolitan Hospital for the Insane, Ward's Island; daily for four months and at intervals for a year and a half he visited the New York hospital; and he gave good service at the Hospital for Ruptured and Crppled Children, East 42d street, conducted by Dr. Gibney, an ex-confederate soldier. Another Southerner, Dr. Neilh Barnes Foster, an assistant physician at the New York Hospital and assistant professor of medicine at the Gornell University College of Medicine, exerted himself to the utmost to secure admission for Giles to the New York hospitals as interne, out found that an old law of 1776 barred Jews and Negroes. Dr. Foster and Dr. Lewis A. Conner then, made an effort to secure admission for Giles to the Massachusetts General and the New Haven hospitals, but could not. Although he had been warned by some of the men in authority that he would be given in the examination fifty per cent, off for personality and thus be presented from passing, Dr. Giles took the examination for admission to the house staff of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals. Although Giles had never failed in an examination throughout the whole course of his school and college careers, though he had stood during the four years in the medical college among the first ten men of his class, and though he was personally assured by some of the examining committee that he had passed in the subjects assigned them, his name was not posted among those who had passed an interesting comparison as furnished by two letters, one written by Dr. L. Straus, assistant professor in neurology at Cornell University, and attending neurologist to Mr. Sutan Hospital, and one written by Samuel Sachs, a philanthropist interested in the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, and a cousin to Dr. L. Straus. Dr. Straus' letter was to Giles, on the occasion of returning an examination paper, in which examination Giles attained a mark of 100 per cent. Mr. Sachs' letter was addressed to Eugene Kinckle Jones of the Urban League, in response to Mr. Jones' effort in behalf of Giles as to the result of the Bellevue examination. The letters are as follows, and form a striking contrast, remembering the men who wrote our cousins. Letter From Dr. Strauss T. R. C. G. Glies Dear Shr. *Enclosed please find your examination paper. You will notice the mark (marked 100 per cent) upon the over. I must compliment you upon having written such a good paper. There is a minor mistake which I have corrected, show you below, so that they may see that a clean, neat piece of work books like. They need the lesson. Letter From Samuel Sachs. Goldman, Sachs & Co. In reply to your letter of March 2, on the subject of Mr. M. Besson C. Gilles, I have taken the privilege of having all his records relating to his examination at Hollyme put before me and have received, furthermore, the opinion of some of the leading physicians who were connected with the examination. His pt. of their remarks is simply this, that he has been a student of the ensonon that in a strict competition examination conducted in all regions as in former years, his marks, like those of a number of other men who received the same examination, fell below the grade necessary for appointment. In plain English, he was out-closed, and that is all there is to the incident." might also add the necessary skills, art classes and other young men of that culture, that it would be well to round up the suggestions and advice of the examining doctors (who are entirely sympathetic with the colored race) and treat the matter of examinations in a approachable manner, and not go good with a "crap on their shoulder,"凑合ly a "crap prevalence if they do so," in their examinations. You know in their examinations your face in every possible way, but it is necessary that men who come up for examination for positioning small show themselves capable in every way, with their competitors. Prejudice at Lincoln Hospital. Giles reports to secure admission to the taff of Lincoln Hospital were strenght and exhaustive, can response to a written invitation from Dr. Frederick Gwyer, superintendent, Dr. Giles called at Lincoln Hospital. The superintendent informed him that Lincoln Hospital was a private hospital run by weathly white women, that it was in no sense a colored hospital; that it received no support from the colored people except an occasional dance given by the colored people, or the little Episcopal Church in West 134th street (referring to St. Trinity's), whose chorus occasionally came alive; that old folks in the old dulcis; that he had trouble friends would probably be the best internee they had ever had; that previously other internees were poorly educated and in some instances had been guilty of gross immorality; but notwithstanding all this, he could not put Giles on the house staff; that he did not see, anyway, why the men of Cornell should want to trust a problem of this sort upon his institution. Dr. Giles secured the influence of friends including Dr Walter L. Niles assistant attending physician to the second division of Bellevue, and the Rev Henry S. Coffin, pastor of the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church. Dr Chas, R. L. Putnam is the secretary of the medical board at Lincoln, and Miss Mary W. Booth is president of the hospital and home. The following letters represent a correspondence which has passed from Dr Putnam to Dr. Niles, and from Dr Gwyer and Miss Booth to the Rev Dr Coffin. The letters cover the period from January 20 to June 26, the date of the last letter from Dr. Coffin to Miss Booth. As will be seen from the text of Dr. Coffin's last letter, he takes a strong stand in the matter; even intimating that it might be wise for him to resign. The letters follow. DR. CHARLES R. L. PUTNAM, 121 East 38th Street. We at the Lincoln are in the same position as any other hospital in the matter of receiving a colored doctor as an internet. We have a colored training school, and except for that are in every way a white hospital. It would be nice to have a colored hospital to us ask our staff to accept a man on our staff that any of the other hospitals would not accept. Personally I consider all discrimination unfortunate, but as it has been shown to exist throughout the city, the Lincoln Hospital would be the last one that could act differently. I will, however, preface matter to our Medical Board and end them to the Board of Managers. WALTER L. NILES, M.D. 50 East 17th Street New York. Jan. 21 1915 MR. R. C. Giles Cornell University Med College 477 First Ave. City. My dear Giles I enclose a letter from Dr. Putnam Secretary of the Medical Board of Linn Hospital. I am afraid that there is no hope in that direction. Your position has been very clearly considered by the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals and I wish you would see me in the near outcome that I may advise you what to. Yours sincerely WALTER L. NILES WEN R. LINCOLN HOSPITAL AND HOME. East 11st Street and Southern Broadway. New York June 15th, 1915 Poy Henry S. Coffin. 1915 44 East Third Street New York City. Dear Sir, Answering your favor of J. July 16th, would state that I have investigated 16th is possible the matter, concerning Dr. Patroni Conkling Giles Dr Purrum, Secretary of our Medical Board, is out of town. His secretary however states that she has no correspondence, regarding Dr. Giles, not notable to concerning him. This office has a letter which Dr. this wrote to Miss A. T. Van Sant- vale on January 21st 1914. Miss Van attended town school to be with a notice to January 6th. I wrote Dr. Giles offering him an interview, and my resemblance is that he called on me at a subsequent date. I cannot recall very many particulars but can assume that Professor Giles has big or no foundation for his position that Dr. Giles was unjustly I will offer me evidence. I will very glad to investigate the matter through way. Sometimes I am going on further activities but trust your further information will prove the truth of my information. Years ago, truly FREDERICK GWYER, M. P. Sussex intendent. FIG. 10K. LINDEN HOSPITAL, AND HOME. East 115th Street and Southern. Foward. New York, June 2nd, 1915. My dear Dr. Cottin. I regret that I have been unhappy with the poor health of our letter of the 7th June. I have read with some surprise, and emphasizes the disappointment often felt due to your inability to attend any meetings of our Advisory Board. Lincoln Hospital is not exclusively for colored patients. Ninety-five per cent. of the patients are white, and eighty-five Medical Board and the twoing internes are white, the Managers, the Advisers. the complete Administration force in white. It would be impossible under the present organization to admit a colored doctor in the study. The Managers maintain with great interest and satisfaction a Home for elderly and indigent Negro men and women, and also, a Training School for colored women. This is all that we can do at present. There are a few young men colored who would rank well with any white doctors, but they are as yet few to warrant the introduction of a staff of Negro men. My sympathy invariably goes out to the educated men of the race who find so many doors closed to their advancement, but, we can do nothing for them as an institution. I remain. Yours sincerely, (Signed) MARX W. ROQTH. MADISON AND CRESSEBY BRIAN PHURCH 41 East 73rd Street. New York, June 26, 1915 My dear Miss Booth: Let me acknowledge with many thanks your kind reply to my letter and express my regres that I have been so remiss as a member of the Advisory Board. It is very difficult to fulfil the many responsibilities which have a prior claim on me and have the feather of my heart. I have been without me as with me at those meetings. Very likely it would be wise for me to resign. With regard to this colored physician I do feel very strongly that it is wrong for us not to give an able young man an opportunity to become proficient in his profession. There is, as you know, no hospital in the City which will respond to a patient with a hospital experience he cannot attain the skill he requires. I should not be in favor of our maintaining a colored staff at Lincoln but an occasional colored internne seems to me another matter. We have colored students at Union Seminary living with our white students and there we must maintain themselves as gentlemen. This my impression that we could count upon Dr. Giles to be as respectable and courteous in his personal relations as any white physician. Just as we give colored nurses an opportunity it would seem that Lincoln Hospital might open its door to the colored internne. I realize that there are difficulties in the way, but I hate to think that there is a door open in this great life before a man of this sort and that a hospital hearing the name of Lincoln should join with others in dearranging him solely in the ground of his color pressing further into the dressing matter further I shall of course assist, but I have to enter protest, against what seems to me a very unjust instance of racial discrimination.

Metzmade a speech a few days ago to the Rotary Club, in which he declared that merchants of the Northwere not protecting loudly enough for their rights to trade unharmed with the neutral countries. In the course of his speech he said: "But wait until you hear from the South, for when the South begins to talk the country will wake up, and that will come in about a month, when the cotton crop begins to move, and the plants find no need to feed." The trouble in the North is that we do not yell loud enough." We can agree with Mr. Metz when the South begin to talk the country wakes up. This applies not only to selling the cotton crop but to everything else. What other sections of the country attempt to carry out by work, the South succeeds in accomplishing by sheer force of talk and loud yelling. Following up what we said last week about lack of pride. let us say this week that the illustration we gave of slipping into the backroom annex of a saloon may apply strictly to southern cities, but there are parallels in the north, right in Harlem, that are almost as bad. For example, there are places in Harlem which, a few years ago, made it very plain that they did not care for colored patronage. These same places, on account of the shift of population are now compelled to cater to colored people; yet it can be seen they do it only because they would otherwise have to close their doors. Colored people who have lived in Harlem for any length of time know those places; those who have lately come can learn about them. Those places which a few years ago spurned the Negro's money ought not be given a chance, to see the color of it now. Let the colored people of Harlem spend their money whenever possible with members of their own race; at least, let them spend it with those who are sincerely glad to accommodate them. This we do not set forth as race pride, but as individual pride, the sort of pride that each self-respecting man, woman and child should have. We repeat, do not submit to unnecessary humiliation, and pay for it out of your own pocket. THE LEELANAW The act of Germany's sinking an American vessel two days after receiving this government's latest note is not very reassuring. The first despatches made it look like a defiance of the contensions made by the United States. Later despatches show that a warning was given and the crew allowed to escape. This is evidence that it is possible for a submarine to destroy a captured vessel in accordance with the accepted rules of warfare, a thing which Germany has heftetofore held to be impracticable if not impossible. So the sinking of the Leelanau, instead of adding to, will probably lessen the tension between the United States and Germany. If Germany continues to conduct her submarine warfare in this manner there will be no issue between her and this Government. AGAIN.

It is one of the fairest arti- have ever read. The Constitution is, without entiment of the best people of Georgia. We the best people will prevail over the great man Georgia Senate Passes Measure—Rockefeller School Affected. Atlanta, July 14.—The Georgia Senate to-day passed a measure prohibiting whites from teaching in Negro schools of the State. It carries a provision that makes it effective at once if it passes the House. The measure will affect numerous Negro schools in Georgia endowed by Northern philanthropists. In many cases the state may be sent to the school of the school are white persons sent to Georgia by the society or person controlling the school. One of these schools is Spelham Seminary in Atlanta, which is supported by John D. Rockefeller. The Georgia measure is a copy of the Kentucky law which has been upheld by the United States Supreme Court. Here we have direct action against the race; action for which no reason can be found except bitter hatred and the determination to make the Negro's status permanently lower. There will, no doubt, be a good many colored people who will take a short-sighted view of this question. They will feel that such a law would give employment to more colored teachers. The employment of fifty or a hundred more colored teachers is a matter of insignificance compared with the lasting damage of such a law on the statute books. To consent to the bargain of positions for a few scores of teachers in exchange for a status as human beings would be to sell our birthright for a mess of pottage. Such a law would be in violation even of the missionary spirit; for the so-called Christian churches of America do not hesitate to send workers to the Orient, to Africa, to the isles of the sea, and even to the leper colonies. Such a law would legally place the Negroes of Georgia in a class lower than lepers. There is no doubt that colored men and women capable of conducting and directing all of our colleges in the South can be found; some of the schools might be benefited by such a change; but who can desire to see this brought about by a law which makes it a felony for a white person to teach a colored person? Of course the purpose of the law is to break the only point of contact between whites and blacks which is not that of superior and inferior, of master and servant. With all the white teachers taken out of our Southern colleges, there will not be left a single point of contact between white and black people in the South except those where black people are made to feel inferior to white people. This is exactly in line with the South's determination to fix the Negro in a permanently inferior place in this country, and to fix him so that he won't dare to rise above that place, and to use a slang expression, we are kidding ourselves when we think otherwise. Aside from the injustice and inhumanity of this proposed law, the white teachers in the schools that would be affected are for many reasons wanted and needed there. These teachers and their predecessors made education beyond the three R's possible for Negroes; and we should hate to see the breaking off of this association which began before the smoke of the Civil War had entirely cleared away; an association which has been, all in all, more beneficial in its results than any other one thing in the whole history of our fifty years of freedom. Elsewhere we reproduce an editorial on this law from the Atlanta Constitution. It is one of the fairest articles upon the Negro we have ever read. The Constitution is, without doubt, voicing the sentiment of the best people of Georgia. We hope that in this case the best people will prevail over the great majority. THE GERMAN SITUATION. latest note to Germany puts us in a different mood at issue. In the former notes this going to force Germany to do certain things; what our attitude will be if certain acts are an exchange of position has its advantages and its use it simplifies the whole question, strips it of its it to an issue. It likewise places upon it; for if another life is lost at satety by Germany in violation of what is rega- law, we are pledged to take steps which might be no reason or excuse for further parley, we own words. When we consider that Germ- of abandoning her submarine warfare, the clegency referred to above are not overwhelm- idless of international law on the subject, the question of the rights of American citizens in naval vessels. The United States holds that citizens to travel where and when they will vessel shall not be abridged; Germany holds that American aboard an enemy merchant ship can that ship. There is much to be said on the question of law. There is a larger question involved, and it is be allowed to establish as a rule of marine warfare to sink without warning an enemy non-combatants? There are no two sides to a leads law; it is a question of common humanity morally right when it says it will not allow such a rule. Deposition taken by this country leads to war, but it would be more regrettable if we stood not permitted warfare to be made arbitrary. Out latest note to Germany puts us in a different position upon the questions at issue. In the former notes this government was endeavoring to force Germany to do certain things; now we have declared what our attitude will be if certain acts are committed by Germany. This change of position has its advantages and its disadvantages. At a stroke it simplifies the whole question, strips it of all irrelevancy and brings it to an issue. It likewise places upon us a heavier responsibility; for if another American life is lost at sea through an act committed by Germany in violation of what is regarded as international law, we are pledged to take steps which might lead to war. There will be no reason or excuse for further parley, we must act or eat our own words. When we consider that Germany gives no indication of abandoning her submarine warfare, the chances against the contingency referred to above are not overwhelming. Regardless of international law on the subject, there are two sides to the question of the rights of American citizens upon beiligerent merchant vessels. The United States holds that the right of American citizens to travel where and when they will upon any merchant vessel shall not be abridged; Germany holds that the presence of an American aboard an enemy merchant ship cannot serve as a shield for that ship. There is much to be said on both sides; it is merely a question of law. But there is a larger question involved, and it is this: Shall Germany be allowed to establish as a rule of marine warfare the right of a submarine to sink without warning an enemy merchant ship carrying non-combatants? There are no two sides to this question. It transcends law; it is a question of common humanity. This Government is morally right when it says it will not allow Germany to establish such a rule. If the position taken by this country leads to war, it will be regrettable; but it would be more regrettable if we stood idly by and without protest permitted warfare to be made arbitrarily more inhuman.

For men to enlist in armies, to shoot at each other, to kill and be killed, is horrible; but for more than a thousand happy-hearted men, women and children to be suddenly sent to death simply through the negligence or cupidity of someone else, is still more horrible. The country will now wait to see if the investigation will end in the same old farce; if after weeks of probing, the captain and the mate or some of the deck hands will be the ones held responsible. It appears that the Eastland was known to be faulty in construction, that she was top-heavy. It is also known that the steamer had aboard more passengers than the law allowed. Then the responsibility for the tragedy goes farther back than the captain and the crew; it goes back to the owners and operators of the steamer. It goes even further, it goes back to the Federal inspectors whose business it was to examine the boat and report on its seaworthiness. If anyone is to be punished, let the blame first be fixed where it belongs and upon all who are guilty. PAPERGRAFTS. Mysterious fires have been reported around five different: United States naval ships, a period of ten years, the Navy. Deprived of firefighters, the idea that these fires are the result of conspiracies on the part of influences hostile to this country; still it must be confessed, as coincidences, they are very strange. ROOSEVELT gave out some strong talk on preparedness in his San Francisco operation, and he said he has stirred the country to a sense of its danger and responsibility. He also stiffened the Administration at Washington and put something of a quietus on the BRYAN type of pacifists. THEOSEO ROOSEVELT has never gained a reputation as a humorist, but few wittier things have been said than his impromptu remark on Mr. BRYAN's Carnegie Hall speech. When a reporter called and asked if he had any reply to make to the ex-Secretary's attack on him, the ex-President said he had not seen the speech. The reporter then proceeded to read certain extracts, when Mr. ROOSEVELT cut him short, exclaiming: "Heavens and earth! I've got serious things to do." The aftermath of the PRANK case showed one thing very clearly, and that was the temper of a Georgia mob. It showed to what ends the mob spirit among citizens of the Empire State of the South will go when it is aroused. For the Governor of a State to have to call out the militia to protect himself against a mobe made up of his own constituency and fellow citizens is something new in mob history. It is said that the President will take steps to establish in Haiti a government receivership similar to the one in operation in Santo Domingo. It is sad to think that Haiti has not yet established a stable government that would command the respect of the world and give no excuse for interference.

SIMMONS) OUR DESTINY To the Editor of The Age: Not since the Emancipation Proclamation was leagged by Abraham Lincoln has a race of people been charged with such responsibility as has been laid to us by the hand of fate. The race of people who have the ability will in a large measure determine the place we shall occupy for generations to come as citizens of this republic. Fortune indeed are we that nature has endowed us with that spirit of determination that der all conditions, the supreme belief in our Mr. will's as a panacea for all humanills, which has served to make our burden light, coupled with experience and the knowledge of those which determines the deathy of a race. Our identity and self-reliance are equalled by our sense of justice and understanding of the great realities of our country. We must equip for the task before us. The recent decision of the United States Supreme Court upholding the Fourteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution was more than a silver lining to our country. It transformed of a skeleton into a breathing instrument. It is our duty to cling incessantly to the principle of equality before the law, willing to sacrifice our own life to allow any nation to ignore or destroy these rights under any subterfuge of "race supremacy." To do this we would fall in our most vulnerable position, the most mankind. We know what we mean when we speak of the principle of citizenship, of equality before the law; we mean the fair obligation of all the people, including ourselves, the constant threat of violence against the rights of all American citizens, regardless of race or color or previous condition of servitude. The supreme sovereignty of law and order is the fundamental upon which this foundation is founded. In order to safeguard all of our rights as citizens, we must be guided by a wise leadership, a leadership of courage, a leadership of race, we are not seeking charity or sympathy, our only request is the impartial enforcement of the law. We are loyal to the Stars and Stripes and we are proud of our country’s call. Our allegiance to the flag is unquestioned. No one can cite a single case where a Negro has loyed to the Stars and Stripes or cowarded or covaded or contended equality before the law does not necessitate Negro domination or a so-called “tanned government” to quote the words of the late Senator Robert Benton right of every American citizen regardless of race or color or previous condition of servitude. There never has been any fear of retaliation when thisitution became involved in war, and I would ask the Sun’s conception of Federal Constitution, if it had a set of judges who would decide a decision that the rights of whites citizens were divided and that this country was still in feudalism? We contend that this is in government of the people, by the people, and we and despair and the determination to intrigue in what we are fighting and what we will fight as long as there is a Negro living, and despite the harrowing critics claim that the Negro race is dying out, the Negro race will be untill the Master sees fit to remove all the Negroes survived all the punishment and unjustness to which a race could be subjected, and in the short birth of freedom points with pride to a record unbound by any other race in a given length of time and under like conditions. Our destiny is now in our own hands. We will teach the young men and the young women that the real wealth and the real wealth of a race does not lie in race races, but the real wealth and wealth of a race lies in the true hearts, in the virtuous and upright homes of its sons and daughters. Having discharged this duty we owe to posterity, and see that we owe to posterity by our own precept that the color of man or a race does not determine his intrinsic worth, Ethiopia will in reality stretch forth her hand and take her just share in shaping the thought and policy of nation—taking its ours and we are to the task. ARTHUR G. SHAW. AN UNJUST MEASURE. ('Ediorial: Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution.) The senate bill proposing to prohibit white teachers from teaching Negroes in public schools and to restrict century civilization, when more than at any time in the south's history she is more surely working out what has been called her race problem. The senate bill will protect her against the anmalization of the races; against the attendance of white aid; Negro children upon the same school, and any legislation against Negroes; against the lack of people is unnecessary, for that will never be attempted nor countenanced in Georgia. But the law which proposes to make it more difficult for white teachers to make a better citizen of the Negro would put Georgia in the absurd attitude of sending her preachers and her teachers, her sons and her daughters among the barbarous and semi-barbarian people, when the descendants of a race of these very people constitute a large part of Georgia's population, with a disrespectful quirk of illiteracy. Beyond the educational and racial disadvantages of the proposed law to the Negro, the very principle of it is the Great Teacher, who admonished, "Go and preach the gospel to all men!" Only misguided emissaries of our civilization in the south today would curb the Negro. We have taught them features without the guidance of those to whom they have learned to look for help for their first lessons in racial discrimination. We have taught them this faith in the white man as their best friend, and their on leaders—the leaders of the segregation—are teaching them this same doctrine. In the old south it was the noblest type of the womanhood who taught the Negro in his most dependent school. The very woman, the Sunday school. The very woman, the confederacy of the heroes of that cause taught: the black man and his children the gospel of Christ, and their children the unity and the care of the home. For fifty years these lessons have home fruit in the host element of southern Negroes; worse fruit in the host element of white child; in the service he has rendered in the home and the field, and it is these same lessons who a have handed down as the basic knowledge and skills of the Negroes; has handed his first tribal standards. If this medium is suddenly cut off from the Negro by law, from what source can we express his allegiance or disloyalty to the Negro? can we be to him as the domestic servant, the intelligent field laborer, the skillful artisan or the law-binding citizen if the white man is no longer able to teach his own race. But now is the white man can no longer direct or teach the Negro even along prescribed lines, how can a harmonious understaffing the two races continue or be a exist. She virtually refuses the dependent race in the state the message of civilization is. The principle of such action would reflect upon every one of the thousands of godly men and women of the superior races who have so nobly sacrileged the Christian faith was charged with the duty of "proaching the gospel to all men." Let us hope that we have already this unjust and ungenerous measure. RALEIGH, N. C. of the R. P. B. and the Masonic Lodge.

Under a headline in big type, "Effort to Get Up. a Big Sensation Proves Futile," the following news article appeared on the first page of the Philadelphia *Tribune* in its issue of July 24-Atlantic City, July 21. "The Birth of a Nation, a photo play made its initial bow here Sunday night, night, night, because the playing nights supposedly friendly white persons sont for leading colored men and quietly advised them to get up a big protest against the illusion that the cooler heads thought it best to go and see the play before making a kick. On Sunday night, quite a number of our leaders went to see the play. Dr. P. L. Hawkins, Lawyer Nutter, Dr. John P. Turner, of Philadelphia, and Mr. James Page, of Pittsburgh, Pa. So far as we have heard, these gentlemen are about the play that are somewhat grating on the sensibilities, but on the whole 'it was not so bad, nor did they think it would tend to increase race mired, because white people of the North are too intelligent. A delegation of ministers, led by the Rev. Jeremiah Gregory, however, have tiled a protest against the production of the play. It was with utter astonishment akin to horror and with a feeling of mortification akin to shame that I read this O. K. evidently voluntarily placed on the most vicious film ever made to openly insult and degrade any set or race of people, an O. K. given by leading colored men and published with a marked show of friendliness in the oldest and most influential colored paper in the State of Pennsylvania. Surely my good friend Editor Perry and his associates must have been asleep at the house to have given such kindly consideration to the things of the leaders who found "The Birth of Nation" a harmless photo play—as ineffective and harmless as a turtle dove. The stamp of K. O. kup upon "The Birth of a Nation" by Messrs. Hawkins, Nutter, Turner and Page, and the prominence given in the Philadelphia Tribune of their friendly attitude toward the photo play comes at an opportune time and will be cheerfully and industriously used by the producers of "The Birth of Nation" to get the picture in other Northern cities, the strong opposition is being shown to its presentation, on the grounds that it provokes racial antagonism. Right in Philadelphia to-day the colored citizens are fighting hard to keep the photo play out of the "City of Brotherly Love" and are having some difficulty convincing the authorities that there are good and valid reasons why it should be barred. The article in the Philadelphia Tribune will only tend to weaken this picture, while raising the cause of the picture people, who for some reason, seem to bring most of the officials in the various cities to their way of thinking. Surely the film being shown at Atlantic City is vastly different from those presented in New York, Boston and other cities. Or if the objectionable feature (which is hardly probable) the finer sensibilities of those who have put their O. K. on it must be hard to prick indeed. Perhaps nothing short of a lynching or the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment would excite their finer sensibilities. The correspondent for the *Tribune* evidently shares the opinion of Thomas Dixon and other Negro haters that "The Birth of a Nation" is an innocent, harmless picture that does not create false impressions of the Negro, as he writes: "The days preceding the opening night supposedly against white persons sent for leading colored men and quietly advised them to get up a big protest against the films being shown here." Why "supposedly" friendly white persons? Surely the white men who advised the colored men to register a complaint against the production of. "The Birth of a Nation" in Atlantic City did it with the best intentions, and their furious curry will not be confounded in the future by the sarcastic reference to them as "supposedly friendly white persons." Another statement made by the correspondent for the *Tribune* is worth while analyzing: "Nor did they think it would tend to increase race hatred, because white people of the North are too intelligent." Yes, white people in the North are so intelligent that in Atlantic City and in other Northern cities colored persons are refused accommodation, because the state of the North are so intelligent that it is difficult for a colored person to rent a house other than in a colored settlement; the white people of the North are so intelligent that the Negro is barred from making an honest livelihood in many avenues of endeavor. The ignorant whites in the Northern cities outnumber of intelligent ones; for you will find any poor white person believing he is better than a colored person because his skin is white. And for that matter, there are many presumably intelligent white people in the North. Most of them believe to be intelligent the color of one's skin counts for more than intelligence, wealth, culture and character. It is the chief aim of the producers of "The Birth of a Nation" to sow the seed of race inflicted in the minds of the white people of the North and disrupt whatever friendly relations exist between the colored and white people. It is the only way to make the film people to produce "The Birth of a Nation" in the Southland. The only agreeable and encouraging statement in the article published in the Philadelphia Tribune was that a delegation of ministers, led by the Rev. Jeremiah Gregory, had filed a protest against the play. To learn that the inner sensibility of City were deeply touched is gratifying, and it is hoped that their voice of disapproval will outweigh the fortunate nod of approval given by others. BYRON HEADS BIG BILL AT THE LAFAYETTE THEATRE CONTINUECLEF CONCERTS Such an artistic success have been the three 'Sunday afternoon' concerts given by the Clef Club at the Lafayette Theatre that an agreement was entered into this week by the theatre management and Deacon Johnson, representing the Clef Club, to continue presenting the Clef Club in musical programs every Sunday afternoon between 3 and 5 o'clock until further notice.

The wrongs that are and:.the evils that exist In man's World are the results of man’s thoughts, and acts. Man therefore as a free mioral agent has leen given the power to correct the situation. This power was given to the Adamic man as well as to the Immanuel.
