The New York Age Interest Continues Unabated and Many Photos Are Received in Each Mail DR. KENNEY ON EUGENICS Unusual Address Delivered By Tuskegee Physician, Published in Another Column, Treats the Science of Better Baby Culture. CLEVER AND SMART BABIES Instances of Precocious and Bright Children Which Show the Negro Child to be Equal in Natural Cleverness to the Children of any Race of People in the World. TO BE REMEMBERED: The Better Babies Contest opened July 22 and will close September 2. Six silver cups will be awarded to babies of Greater New York and six silver cups will be awarded to babies from the country at large outside of Greater New York. The babies in both groups are to be divided into two classes, the first class up to three years, and the second class from three to twelve years. Photos must have written on the back the name, age, weight of the baby, and names and addresses of the parents. If the photo is to be returned enclose stamp for that purpose. Interest in THE NEW YORK AGE BETTER-BABIES' CONTEST continues unabated. In fact, there is a steady increase, not only in the number of photos received, but also in the letters of inquiries and of commendation. One of the most interesting features in connection with the contest is shown by letters received from persons who ask that they be given the address of the parents of some of the babies shown. One lady writes from Minneapolis, Minn., as follows: "THE AGE BABY' CONTEST EDITOR: "I would like for you to give me the address of whose picture was in THE AGE Thursday, July 29. I would like to write to his parents' for a picture of the same cut that was in the paper. I would thank you very much for the address or information where to get the picture." Every mail brings to THE AGE assurances from the mothers and fathers of the race's babies that the BETTER BABIES' CONTEST has aroused a deeper and more intelligent interest in the welfare and care of the infants. The Question of Eugenics. In connection with this BETTER BABIES' CONTEST attention is called to the address published in another column on this page delivered by Dr John A. Kenney of Tuskegee Institute, on "Eugenics and the School Teacher." In an unusual and most able manner the very capable and efficient Dr. Kenney takes up the question of eugenics, which is the science of the culture of better babies, and without mincing his words he goes to the root of the question. His address speaks for itself and all mothers and father- and those who contemplate taking up the joys and responsibilities of married life are earnestly urged to read it most carefully. In last week's Age there was given the picture of a baby from Ohio who had been a prize winner in a Cincinnati better babies' contest. This week we are showing a baby who was a prize winner in the district of Columbia. In sending the photo his parents send also the information that he was winner of the first prize at a baby contest in Washington in May, 1901. They say in their letter: Our fine son is only 18 months and weighs 24½ pounds. When his months old he won $5 in gold prize in a contest in May, for being the most perfect baby (Continued on page 4). BABY CULTURE FOR THE AID OF BETTER BABIES Dr. John A. Kenney Discusses Eugenics With Relation to the Teacher's Work Taskegee Physician Says 20 Per Cent of Women are Unable to Bear Children and 25 Per Cent are Unwilling to do so —Declares that Such Women Should Not Marry. Special to THE New York Ack. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., August 10.—One of the most unusual, and effective addresses ever heard at this school was the one delivered by Dr. J. A. Kenney, medical director in charge of the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital, before the teachers in attendance upon the Tuskegee Summer School which closed July 23. Dr Kenney's subject was "Eugenics and the teacher." The teacher solemn eloquence the speaker handled without gloves the question of race suicide, denominated as the "crime of the age." Declaring his intention to call a spade a spade, Dr. Kenney took up first the social dance. He did not indiscriminately condemn舞 but declared that too little discrimination is shown in the selection of the dance partner. He declared that the rake and liberty are too often permitted upon the floor of the dance hall to take liberties with our best young mothers, wives, sisters and daughters. He appealed to the teachers to use common sense in removing the veil of mock modesty and prudery which has caused boys and girls to drift into bad habits through ignorance and brought about a general tendency to race decay. Referring to the science of Eugenics Dr. Kenney said that in its simplest terms it might be called the giving birth to better babies. It is not a new idea, he said, but only recently has it been recognized as a science. He declared that the eugenist contemplates baby culture just as the agriculturist studies and discusses corn culture. Women. Unable and Unwilling to Bear Children. A startling statement was made by Dr. Kenney when he declared that 20 per cent of American women are unable to bear children and 25 per cent are unwilling to do so. Of the children born from the remaining 55 per cent one out of four die in infancy and many of the others become wards of the nation. With emphasis the speaker declared that women unable or unwilling to perform the duties of wife and mother should not marry. Dr. Kenney's address was in part as follows: "Today we shall call a spade by its old vernacular, a spade, and not a certain instrument of manual labor; a house shall be a house and not a residence. THE SOCIAL DANCE—All too long leaders, educators, preachers, physicians, college presidents and teachers have winked at this subject while boys and girls are growing up in vicious ignorance and present in mothers' mothers' away the possibilities of coming generations amidst unholese influences. Mixed Crowds at Dances. "My reference to the dance is not to unqualifiedly and 'unreservedly' condemn it but I say there is much about it that is disgusting and nauseating. For example, there is not sufficient discrimination shown in the selection of the dance partner. The rake and librine are too often permitted upon the floor of the dance hall, but the best young mothers, wives, sisters and daughters that would never be allowed were it not for the dance. A few years ago I was at a banquet tendered to our medical association in a southern city. A local physician and I were looking at the promiscuous dance. In a short we left. On the way we remarked: "That is one way strong objections to dance. Don't you know that some of the worst women in this city are on that floor?" On another occasion I was at a similar function in large northern city. Society appeared at its best. One woman in all that great audience seemed to shine above the rest by reason of her rich background, attractive figures, good dances. She was a dominant demand by our卫生顾问. The next day a physician resident in the city advised me that that attractive lady (?) was from the tenderliner and just bailed out of jail a few days previous, and many others present were in the same class. "All too long prudery and mock modesty have held away at the expense of common, sense while on the expense of drilling into habitus, immorality and a consequence there is a general tendency to racial decay. What a price to pay for silence! Through you, teachers, about 400 strong, representing some thirteen ferent states and perhaps 20,000 pupils, and many teachers and fathers, what a striking manner to sound the whistle that through you the light may be turned on this subject. The Eugenio Idea. The eugenic idea is not altogether a new one but has only recently been recognized as a science. Reduced to its simplest terms eugenics may be called the science of giving birth to better babies. Just as the agriculturist studies and discusses corn culture, as the eugenist contemplates birth culture. The demand of the eugenist is, that only fit children will be born and that they must be taken care of amide good environment. Strictly speaking,ugen- (Continued on page 7.)

MEN OF 25TH INFANTRY PUT STOP TO RACE FILM MEN OF 25TH INFANTRY PUT STOP TO RACE FILM Slavery Day Play Had to be Taken Off Screen at Barracks' Amusement Hall Attempts to Put on Plays Reflecting on Race at Hawaiian Military Headquarters Aroused Strenuous Objection from the Negro Soldiers, Who Were Supported by Many of the Officers. Special to The New York Agc. Schofield Barrack, Honolulu, H. T. The soldiers of the 25th Infantry, United States Army, stationed at this point, will not stand for the presentation of any play or picture film in the barracks' amusement hall which reflects upon the Negro race. This was shown on the night of June 8 when a picture play called "James Kirby" was put upon the screen. Advertised as one of the best pictures ever on the island, the play drew a large audience of officers and enlisted men. But with the flashing of the first scene trouble began. The film was staged in the south and the theme harked back to slagery days. It showed the young Negro girls being handled by the slave owners and traders, and when the soldiers saw that the house was thrown into an uproar. From every section came the cry, "Cut it out!" Film Causes Outbreak of Men. There are several officers in the regiment who do not share in the southernner's prejudice against the Negro, and they showed their objections to the photo play by leaving the hall as soon as the character of the picture was discovered. Their leaving was taken as a cue and half of the audience filed out, also. As soon as the men reached the outside the rocks began to fly. The roof of the hall was bombarded to such an extent that officers had to order the stopping of the play. This is the third incident of the kind in the past six months. Recently a local show came out to the barracks from Honolulu and played on a play called Down in Dixie on the oceansum museum offices the part of the officers prevented a riot and the mobbing of the players. The actors were glad to get back to Honolulu. The men have let it be known to the officers on a number of occasions that while amusements are desired, nothing will be tolerated that reflects in the slightest degree on the Negro race. Some of the officers make the claim that the trouble is caused by some of the recruits, but this is not borne out by the facts. Every member of the 25th infantry resent such pictures and plays. WHITE ROSE CHAIRMAN SHOWS HOME'S NEEDS Nothing can better make known the needs of the White Rose Industrial Home for working colored girls than this extract from the annual report for 1914, printed in 1915. Miss Mary L. Stone, chairman, has this to say: "The report will show what changes were made, and how the increasing demands on the Home were met. We are, however, always running behind the needs and the opportunities for service urged on us month by month as time goes on. The police in the president's report the increased number of those needing us, and served as best we could manage in our small quarters and with our inadequate means. Numbers have increased all along the line. I may mention the item of police in December, when usually paying inmates were obliged to apply for free lodgings and for a longer time while looking for work. The last days of 1814 brought a great loss in the death of our good friend, Miss Grace H. Dodge, whose abiding faith in our work have been invaluable in almost all the corporate existence of the Association. No way has yet been found to fill her place in financing the work of the Home. Budget for 1915 on the most economical estimate is $2,500. Our estimate for the year is $1,500. Deficit for the year, particularly pressing for the summer months, $1,000." D. E. Tobias, secretary of the committee which is striving to help the White Rose Home states that much interest is being manifested in the picnic to be given August 26. Tickets may be had from the White Rose Home, 217 East 86th street, or the secretary, 108 West 30th street. Telephone Madison 4773.

Successful Exponents of Important Factors in Business Operations to Speak Discussion to Embrace Three Important Business Groups Production and Manufacturing, Wholesaling and Retailing WHITE GEORGIAN TO SPEAK The Fifteenth Annual Session of The National Negro Business League at Boston August 18-20 will be One of the Most Important Ever Held and Will Embrace Many Important Features. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Boston, Mass., August 11.—To those who have watched the development of the National Negro Business League since its organization fifteen year ago, it has been to them something in the nature of a barometer of Negro progress. The program for this year, which has just been issued, indicates what rapid advancement the race has made along lines of commercial endeavor and shows that more and more business men of the race are getting to the basic principles of modern business. An analysis of the subjects included on this 1915 program finds the general thought behind the discussion falling into three great groups representing the three important factors in business, viz.: production and manufacturing, wholesaling and retailing. The subjects are so arranged as to show the relative interdependence of each factor upon the other and the importance of their successful operation upon the future of the race. Dragnet Over the Country. During the past ten months the League's secretary, Einnett J. Scott, who is responsible each year for these programs, has had his dragnet spread over the country searching for successful exponents of the several important factors of business operation, and his painstaking care is rewarded with one of the best and most comprehensive programs in the history of the League. When our business men and women can assemble once each year and discuss such subjects as Department Store Management, the Wholesale Poultry Business, Wholesale and Retail Merchandising, Merchandising Manufactured Goods, Railroad Building, Handling Real Estate, the Relation of Store Appearance to Store Development, Soap, Broom and Cigar Manufacturing and how to meet the Competition of Chain Stores, it is a sure sign that the race is getting away from the haphazard in business and getting down to the fundamental. Governors, and Mayors to Welcome. Aside from the addresses of welcome by His Excellency Governor David I. Walsh of Massachusetts, His Honor, Mayor James M. Curley of Boston; and His Honor Mayor Timothy Good of Cambridge, and the annual address of President Booker T. Washington, there are other very important subjects to be discussed by men and women of national reputation. Among them are Dr. John E. White, Pastor of the Second Baptist Church, Atlanta, Ga., who will discuss, "The Negro and the New South; Dr. James H. Dillard, Major R. R. Moton, and Miss Nannie H. Burroughs. An added feature this year will be "Remarks of encouragement" from representatives of some of the leading business publications of the college press; the president of "The Fourth Estate," paperman's magazine of New York City; and a representative of System are expected to be present. These gentlemen will bring a message of good cheer and encouragement from organizations doing a similar work among the white business men. Important Features on Program. Among the more important social features as announced on the program are following: On Thursday, August 10, 2:30 p. m. to 5:00 p. m., a trolley trip has been arranged by the Boston League to Hilsburg, including Concord, New Hampshire Hill.

ATLANTIC CITY MEN DENOUNCE PHOTO PLAY special to The New York Age. Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 11.—The Megro citizens of this city held a mass gathering L. Jethro Presbyterian church on the evening of August 6 to give expression to their feelings con- cerning the vicious photo play, "The Birth of a Nation." Certain statements supposed to emanate from lea- ding citizens of this city, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, published in endorse- ment of the play, were considered and the meeting expressed itself in no un- taint terms in condemning these terrent leaders. The following resolutjons were animously adopted: Resolutions. Whereas, there is being showd at the new Nikon Theatre, in this city, a play titled "The Birth of a Nation." Whereas, the said-play shows a cored woman and a white man living in immoral life together: Whereas, the picture represents the life of drunkenness and dissipation. Whereas, the play shows a colored man chasing a little white girl for moral purposes. Whereas, the same little white girl is appalled by the picture as dying to live the honor and virtue of the Southern white women; Whereas, Silas Lynch, the Negro outenant-governor, is represented in picture as chasing a "b" woman round in a room trying to force her to incite. Whereas, the play shows colored citizens preventing white citizens fromoting; Whereas, the play shows that morous band of outlaws known as the KluK Klan, as justified in killing innocent people. Whereas, the manifest object in showing Hampton Institute in connection with the play is to divert the mind of the colored people from the racial hatred which the play engenders; and, Whereas, in our serious judgment the appropriate stigma and indifference to the stigma and reflection upon Negro race; therefore, be it RESOLVED, that we the citizens of thirteenth City protest against the conduction of such scenes of "The Birth of a Nation" as related to the Negro race; and be is also RESOLVED, that the so-called race of thirteenth City who had selected their duty are hereby committed for their sultan and toward actions in the defense of the colored ice; and therefore, be it. RESOLVED, That their leadership is credited and that they are deputed before the civilized world, and be further RESOLVED, That President Frizzell of the Ninth Institute and all others who consented and recommended that pictures of Hampton Institute be shown in connection with "The Birth of a nation" are sensored and condemned as traitors of the Negro race; and be it also RESOLVED, That the Reverend Doctors, Clark, Gregory, Langford and Marin are highly commended for their service in which they denounced "The Birth of a nation"; and be it further RESOLVED. That we highly contend the Honorable William Riddle layer of this city for his noble stand in this question; and be it finally RESOLVED. That a copy of our solutions to the City Commission, in the city news, and go the opt-of-town news- S. and JAMES E. JOHNSON, CHAS V. GIROD & THE MISSION JEBB, HERMAN S. WHALLE, RANK H. WIMPERLEY, J.

LOUIS CONSTABLE Special to The New York Times St. Louis, Mo. Aug. 10—On Wednesday, August 1, Circuit Judge Leo S. Rassieur handed down his decision in the Turpin election case, declaring that Charles H. Turpin was elected constable of the fourth district at the election held last November, by a majority of 27 votes, thus reversing the action of the election board which had given the office to Andrew W. Powers, a democrat, by six votes majority. The election-judges rejected certain ballots which they contended were illegal, but Judge Rassieur ruled that these ballots were legal and included them in the recount: Mr. Turpin was represented by George B. Webstet and Homer G. Phillips. Under the recount Turpin's total was 2,798 votes as against Powers' 2,771.

Lawrenceville, Va.—The eleventh annual session of the St. Paul Farmers' Conference at the St. Paul Normal and Industrial School was full of interest. The conference is an orgi- nization of 200 farmers, farmw orkers of Brunswick county, organiz- ed and fostered by the school for the purpose of social, material, moral and religious uplift. The conference gives attention to such practical and helpful things as better methods of farming, better houses, increasing the length of the school term by local self-taxation, buying land, and maintaining helpful relations between the races. The county is divided into conference communities corresponding to the schools and representatives from these are asked to report upon community conditions. There are fourteen questions asked embracing such subjects as the school the house, neighborhood moral-amount of money raised by extending school terms, number of acres of land bought, number of newly built houses, or remodeled, repaired, painted or whitewashed, whether frame or log, number of rooms and upon the crop increase, or decrease of acreage, soil improvement, giving of crop licences, growing corn, raising hogs, chickens, stock, production of milk, butter, etc. Nogroes Own Property Worth $600 000. Replies show that 35 new houses had been built at a cost of from $400 to $1,200 and others remodeled, repaired, and painted. Over 100 acres of land purchased since last conference, two new school houses built by cooperative effort, $500 raised to extend the school term one month, $1,600 raised by subscription or paid in cash for, prospective new schools or for various school improvements such as new desks, industrial material, etc. In the matter of food supplies the questions brought out that more farmers were attempting to raise food crops and the bogs being raised and the acreage in corn practically doubled. As to the money crops, tobacco, cotton and peanuts still hold first place, but more farmers are getting away from the strictly money crops and are, diversifying their farming. The president's address showed this, in sections of the county, according to the auditor's report, owned a fraction less than 50,000 acres of land, yoked with the houses thereon at nearly $240,000, and that their real and personal property was assessed with taxes accounting to a little over $60,000. The Woman's conference took place on the second day. This is an organization of the authors, farmers' sisters and daughters of the county who meets with the conference, giving attention to matters of the home the garden, vegetables, sanitation and making farm-life conditions more tolerable. Their work through the various mothers' club of the country has done much to improve the status of women and elevate the sanctity of the home. ```markdown ``` King Tollet Specialties ABSOLUTELY LET ME FIRST TELL YOU A cosmetic discovery.

Water not nothing; else will make it kink again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. So marvelously does it do its work that one can hardly believe their own eyes. It works like magic, and is unique because there is not another preparation in the world like it. We offer a reward of $100 for any head of hair the Kink-no-more will not straighten. Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the skin. It out, positively removes dandruff; promotes a luxurious growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember Kink-no-more is also an all-purpose item.

Interest in THE AGE'S BETTER BABIES' CONTEST is increasing each week. Photographs from distant STATE show that this interest is not local but national. Two results of the contest are becoming evident; it is stimulating colored mothers and fathers to a study of what is now an important and widely discussed question, the question of better babies; it is also giving an ocular proof of racial improvement. No one can look at the pictures of the good-looking, intelligent, clean and healthy well-dressed babies that are being published each week in THE AGE and doubt that the race is making great progress. There are but four more weeks before the contest will close; so have the baby photographed to-day and send the picture on. We repeat, if you have a photograph of the baby send it on; if you have not a photograph have one made; if you haven't got a baby—well, try and be eligible for our next contest. A WISE SUGGESTION. A despatch from the Washington correspondent of The Evening Post gives an outline of a plan which has been laid before the President by Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois for the appointment of a commission to Haiti. One or two commissions have been sent to Haiti within the past year, but there is special wisdom in Dr. Du Bois suggestion in that it advocates the appointment of a commission upon which the American Negro would be represented. What the United States needs to do in its present dealings with Haiti, if it wishes to accomplish the greatest good, is to convince the Haitians that in those dealings race prejudice will have no place; no better step toward this end could be taken than the appointment of a commission as suggested. The Evening. Post correspondent names several colored men eminently fitted to serve on a commission of this kind. The opinion of The Age is that a commission of five should be appointed, of which at least two, and better still, three, members should be colored men. THE BUSINESS LEAGUE. The annual meeting of the National Business League will be held this year at Boston, August 18, 19, 20. Boston is the city in which the League was organized fifteen years ago, so the coming meeting will have an added interest. Reports from Boston indicate that the attendance will be the largest in the history of the organization; this is encouraging as pointing not only to the growth of the League, but to the steady progress the race is making in getting into touch with the spirit of the age. Within the last generation there has been no more important racial movement than the organization of the National Business League. At the time of its organization the American Negro was already seriously considering his political, social and educational problems, but it was the Business League that awoke him to the importance of taking practical steps to solve his economic problem. As a result of the work done by this body, the race is to-day alive to the fact that substantial progress cannot be made for any great distance along any line unless there is corresponding THE HAITIAN SITUATION. The Haitian Minister at Washington, Solon Menos, acting on a resolution of the Haitian Senate, has called at the State Department and asked for assurances from the United States that the integrity and independence of Haiti would not be impaired by the American occupation. It is most likely that this Government will give these assurances, for such an action will be only in accord with the long established policy of the United States, with regard to the Latin-American republics. The Haitian Minister at War resolution of the Haitian Senate, and asked for assurances from the and independence of Haiti would occupation. It is most likely the assurances, for such an action we established policy of the United American republics. The case of Haiti is almost there is, however, this difference, pathies and greater freedom from have to deal with the situation with the one in Nicaragua.

Because of Haiti is almost parallel with the however; this difference, it will require brighter and greater freedom from prejudice on the real deal with the situation in Haiti than it relied in Nicaragua.

The new taken similar action in various Latin-Americas international status of these countries and Europe compels this Government, to take action whether it wishes to do something to be desired in Haiti is a stable government, a government that will allow social progress. It is possible for such a present state of affairs, through the co-operation Haitians and the disinterested assistance it is a result devoutly to be wished. THE GERMAN CHANGE OF FRENCH year ago the Germans were pounding the tires they were beginning that terrible russetil they were right under the walls of Paris through Belgium into France was jiu jiu strategy for which the whole modern milieu has been shaped; first, by a terrific men to turn to slow moving Russia. For which will not be known and understood unaided. Among the known reasons are the aim, the ultimate stiffening of the French for acidity with which Russia moved.

Many has now directly reversed her plan of don’ton the inability of the entente powers to the west; in the mean time, she proposes to realise plans for her doing to France. She can then bring an irresistible force in England and Belgium. Present, this second plan of strategy appears to the city of Warsaw has been taken and an effort the Russian army. If the Russian army is hardly possible that the western Allies the force that Germany will be able to if the Russian army is not destroyed or so that it will be demoralized and drive it will be months before it will again be the eastern frontiers of Germany and Austria Germany can release millions of men from the east and throw them against her energy collapse of the Russians has suddenly the war.

For reasons well known, it is more necessary to convince the Haitians of the disinterestedness of this country than it would be to convince the citizens of any other Latin-American country with which the United States might have to deal. The action of the Haitian Senate indicates that the Haitians themselves realize that they are facing a grave national crisis. We trust that this very crisis will serve to bring to the front men of wisdom and of unselfish patriotism who will be capable of meeting not only the present but also the future problems of the Republic. It is important that the colored people of the United States do not become confused over the Haitian situation; that they do not flow themselves to feel that the steps taken by this Government were taken because Haiti is a Negro republic. The United States, has before now taken similar action in various Latin-American countries; in fact, the international status of these countries as between the United States and Europe compels this Government, under certain conditions, to take action whether it wishes to do so or not. The thing to be desired in Haiti is a stable, and at the same time, free government, a government that will allow and foster economic and social progress. It is possible for such a result to come out of the present state of affairs, through the co-operation of unselfishly patriotic Haitians and the disinterested assistance of the United States. It is a result devoutly to be wished. THE GERMAN CHANGE OF FRONT. One year ago the Germans were pounding their way through Belgium; they were beginning that terrible rush which was not halted until they were right under the walls of Paris. The German advance through Belgium into France was in accordance with the plan of strategy for which the whole modern military organization of Germany has been shaped; first, by a terrific blow, to smash France, then to turn to slow moving Russia. For various reasons, some of which will not be known and understood until after the war, the plan failed. Among the known reasons are the yaliant resistance of Belgium, the ultimate stiffening of the French forces and the unexpected rapidity with which Russia moved. And yet, the plan was not an entire failure; spring found the German and the Allied armies deadlocked along practically the same line where last fall left them, a line giving Germany the better part of Belgium and a very important strip of France; and the whole summer campaign has not materially changed that line. Germany has now directly reversed her plan of strategy; she now counts upon the inability of the entente powers to break the deadlock on the west; in the mean time, she proposes to do to Russia what the original plans called for her doing to France. If she can smash Russia, she can then bring an irresistible force into action against France, England and Belgium. At present, this second plan of strategy appears to be succeeding. The great city of Warsaw has been taken and an effort is being made to envelope the Russian army. If the Russian army is destroyed or cut off, it is hardly possible that the western Allies will be able to withstand the force that Germany will be able to hurl against them. But even if the Russian army is not destroyed or captured, the indications are that it will be so demoralized and driven so far into the east that it will be months before it will again be in condition to threaten the eastern frontiers of Germany and Austria. In the meanwhile, Germany cap release millions of men from the victorious armies in the east and throw them against her enemies in the west. The collapse of the Russians has suddenly placed a different aspect on the war. France and Belgium are doing their utmost, they can do no more; they cannot budge the Germans at any point on the line, except at a cost which is too terrible. The fate of the Allies rests on the ability of England to hold her proportionate share of the western battle line. Up to now she has failed to do so. It was expected that the spring would find one million British soldiers at the front; there are, as yet, less than four hundred thousand. England's navy is playing a great part, but unless England throws her proportionate quota of men into the field, the promise of the Allies to beat Germany to her knees has just now a very hollow sound.

The belief we expressed may apply to New York and some other communities in the effete East, but it applies in no way to the pristine and undegenerate civilization of Mississippi. Despatches of a few days ago report that at Starkville, Miss., the hunging of two Negroes was made the occasion for a general holiday. We learn that the merchants of Starkville advertised 'the hanging widely, and, as a result, 5,000 farmers, white and black, with their wives and children, from adjoining communities attended. The executions were arranged to take place in a sort of natural amphitheatre where the gallows served as a stage. The festivities began with the free distribution of sandwiches and lemonade; soda fountains and watermelon wagons a rushing business. Before the main event of the program several candidates for office took the platform, or rather the gallows, and delivered political speeches. If the despatches are to be believed, the two condemned men were super-humorists; they occupied seats to the rear of the speakers and joined with the audience in appreciation of the oratorical efforts. They are also reported to have eaten several large watermelons with keen relish and with profuse thanks to the donors, and to have joined heartily in the religious exercises which preceded the executions. So it appears that everybody had a pleasant time, even the condemned men. The women had a chance to wear their best clothes, the children had an outing, the local politicians had a chance to reach their constituency, and merchants of Starkville were, no doubt, repaid for their generous outlay by the resulting increase in trade. economic and financial progress. Colored men and women all over the country are realizing more and more that the race must make itself an economic and financial factor to be counted with. That we must as individuals, go into trade. That we must co-operate to establish great business enterprises. It is only in this way that we can provide decent and profitable employment for our young men and women who are preparing themselves; that is, for those who do not go into the professions, and all Washington, Solon Menos, acting on a has called at the State Department, the United States that the integrity of not be impaired by the American Government will give these will be only in accord with the long States, with regard to the Latin parallel with that of Nicaragua.

I were pounding their way through that terrible rush which was not for the walls of Paris. The German France was in accordance with the whole modern military organization first, by a terrific blow, to smashing Russia. For various reasons and understood until after the war reasons are the yaliant resistance of the French forces and the unexcised moved. And yet, the plan was the German and the Allied armies same line where last fall left them part of Belgium and a very imminent summer campaign has not reversed her plan of strategy; she now sentente powers to break the dead, she proposes to do to Russia what to France.

This has been the propaganda of the National Business League; to awaken and quicken ideas of business. The success of the movement has fully justified its inauguration.

Such cooperation will be bound to produce results. but hanging himself is because a subject for and moralisations, but we reason that natural human curiosity is abundant reason and excuse for such a gathering to witness to rare a thing as a legal execution in Mississippi: I nevertheless, as strong a motive as is human curiosity, it does not excuse the colored people who by their presence participated in this barbaric exhibition. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY WHAT RACE LEADERS LACK In your paper of August 29 was published a letter from Arthur G. Shaw, 147. West 132d street, under the heading, "Our Destiny." I was rather pleased with his letter and told him to write to me. He has been received by me in reply and it is so much interest I am sending it to you for publication. Yours truly, W. E. GROSS. Your letter of August 5 to hand, contents noted. I am glad that the letter published by The New York Age In last week's issue, met with your approval, through which to arouse the race to its sense of duty, and The New York Age is to be commended for its broad policy of allowing the thinkers of the race to come to the people through its columns. The public press is the organ of the people, and no race ever accomplished anything while in that lethargic state of mind. The people are the football of American politics, but it is simply, because we are satisfied to be used for this purpose. In the last Federal election the race was sold in the same manner that Caesar, Crass and Pompey divided the ancient world. The Cato's who should have protested were silenced with a sap of the spoils. The days of the old Roman regalia, his selfless service was the hard work and dedication of the rulers in vogue in the Negro race. Our leaders are copying after the style of Mark Antony when he visited Cleopatra the queen of the Nile. Like him, the Cato's who were the leaders ofographers, they have forgotten race, honor and country, leaving their wives at home and attending public functions, paying arduous attentions to the young ladies, while the single young men, the educated, at the so-called leaders of his race. It is this condition of affairs that must be exposed and eradicated. The well must be pilled from the eyes of the people and the heart of the country. If they are clean, the people will honor and applaud. If they are unclean, they must and will be condemned and relegated. What is wrong? Why are these conditions the streets of Greece crying for men, and when a crowd gathered around him, said, "I called for men, not pygmies," so the masses of the Negro race are asking for a genuine Moses to lead them, and the tired of the selfish leadership now in vogue, in which each leader is vying with the other in acquiring a large fortune, using the old argument of the past, to betray their trust. We educate and obtain public office for our leader. He completely ignores those who are responsible for his position, refusing to listen to any advice, and this is the worst curse of our public men, other races for their own race, once and all. They ask their wants and advocate them in the legislative bodies of which they are members. We tangle with such integrity on the part of our men. The contemptible showing of "A Birth of a Nation" here was the direct result of incompetent leadership, we know, in the case of the president to alter the existing evil. The pulpit and the press remained in a passive state until it was too late, and then made an outcry. It is impossible to be a president who does not see Eleicher, would stand up and defend his people, yet the fools are asked to look to this source for advice and leadership. No man or race can stand still and mark time, they must either-advance or go back. A race without a sune is called a dhunah. A person seen as did Hammad to his father—is like a ship without a rudder. It knows not to what port it will drift. Dr. Lyon Belittles His People. To the Editor of The Age. A report says a joint meeting was held in Assbury M. E. Church, Washington, D. C., between the Baltimore and Washington which meeting loud approval was given a paper read by Dr. Lyon on "Organic Union of Methodism, in the United States." There was no approval given the paper, either in discussion or by The paper paid tribute to the M. B. Church for the stand she took on slavery and on other race questions. He paid tribute to the white race by asking him to explain the difference between the whites and blacks as to make "Organic Union of Methodisms" impossible with the blacks in it. The Dr. apparently mixed up organic union with social equality which minimized the difference. He ready have organic union, but not so social equality, in both church and state. He uses two words to show this constitutional difference between them, homogeneity, which he applauds, and racism, which he applies to the blacks. He says "Organic Union must be between equals." After claiming constitutional differences a barrier to organic union, he proceeds to show that organic union would violate, proclaim, and enforce laws which she could not afford to surrender, and that if our entering said organic union would cause the south to surrender her principles and that if our being in the organic union does not have organic union, we should remain out. We do not agree with the paner because prejudice grows by sufferance. We at first had discrimination in segregation. What next? He claims segregation better for us in church because of a chance for development by self-esteem. He claims that his always been greater growth than in the segregation of them. It does seem that while the doctor is looking out so very closely at his patients, out some for the benefit of his own people, because the white people do not need him to look out for them. They can take care of themselves, take care of them. Be it remembered that the doctor is a politician first, then a preacher. Therefore he sees everything from the side, rather than from the spiritual side, rather than from the spiritual side of all the church is a spiritual institution, which in the future I hope the doctor will remember, and that he will cease trying to be bellish his own people. The paper is also inconsistent, because when discussing the race constitutionality, it claimed the inferiority discusses the race in the quadrennial context it claims if the Negro is in it, he must be in it as an equal. If he is unequal how can he be equal there? The Negroes' Future. Without a doubt the future of the Negro race is bound up in these three words: Commerce, Finance and Industry, life, etc., will adjust itself accordingly.

To the Editor of The Age: A delinquency passed by a town in North Carolina, it unlawful for a Negro to occupy, as a residence, a house upon a street on which a greater number of houses were occupied by white than by Negroes. It contained a law that a Negro was passed under the authority of a section of the charter providing that the board of aldermen might pass ordinations which it might deem wise and government or general welfare of the The Supreme Court in reversing a conviction under this order said: "If the board of aldermen is hereby audited, they should bare majority of the board could; if they may deem it wise and proper, require Republicans to live on certain lands, and not on lands that Protestants shall reside only in certain parts of the town, and Catholics in another, dr Germans or people of German descent should reside only in certain lands, and not in lands that Irish, and those of Irish descent, should dwell only in certain localities, designated for them by the arbitrary governor of the oldermen.

WHITE) At last has Roy F. Morse come into his kingdom... With the passing of Drew as the champion spinner of the country it is gratifying that the laurels are to be simply transferred to another member of the race who, in gaining the crown, not only raced the best of the white sprinters to earth, but even took the mighty Drew's measure at the same time. So it is not by abdication but by conquest that Roy Morse, spinner attached to the, Salem, Crescent, Athletic Club, New York City, is to be crowned as national champion in the junior 100-yard dash and as national champion in the senior 220-ward dash. These honors were won on Friday and Saturday, August 6 and 7, at the junior and senior national track and field championships held at the Panama-Pacific Exposition Field, San Francisco, Cal., participated in by the athletes from all sections of the country. Athletes who had won preliminary victories in the tryouts, and so were without a doubt the best men to be found the country over in the various classes. Morse is by no means apovice, as he has been competing in various meets around New York for several years, besides taking part in many events during a year's residence in Buffalo, where he represented the famous St. Brigid's team, of which he was at one time the captain. During Morse's stay, till Buffalo his achievements on the cinder path were notable. His victories were measured only by the number of times he started. Speaking of Morse, the Buffalo Evening Times had the following to say: "There is a little colored boy in Buffalo who some day may become one of America's greatest sprinters. His name is Roy F. Morse and at present he is employed in the checking room of the Chamber of Commerce. This eloquent-hued youth has competed in several, athletic meets around Buffalo during the past few months and each time he has appeared in running toks he has finished among the winners. Not long ago a very well posted athlete that Morse who is in men's kid in athletics, has the mukkins of a wondrous sprinter. This boy has a natural stride that reminds me of Arthur Duffy," said the critic to the writer. He has a world of speed. He is young, very young, and lacks endurance right now. When he matures hell be the fastest sprinter in this part of the country. At Hamilton, out. Morse justified this criticism, confidence by, winning the "220" from a field of crack sprinters. He was a yard dash, which was won by J. Rosenberg, who was picked as one of the American athletes that went to Sweden to defend Uncle Sum's athletic honors. Morse defeated Rosenberger in the "220." Running at the Canadian National Exposition meet, Morse forced Don Lippincott to do 9 4-5 seconds in the semi-final of the 100-yard dash, and in the final pushed him to the tape in 9 3-5 seconds; Morse taking second in both instances. In this race Lippincott beat the gun by two yards. Morse's experiences around New York have not always been as pleasant and agreeable, as in Buffalo and in Canada. On several occasions there has been a notable tendency on the part of the meet officials in New York and vicinity to withhold from Roy his just deserts. It was at Travers Island on Saturday, June 19, in the 100-yard dash, that there was a close finish. Only two judges were officiating and one immediately proclaimed: Morse the winner, while the other denied the finding and contended that Alvah Meyer had won. A conference was held and the white runner was given the race, but there were scores of spectators at the finish line who declared that Morse had won... Morse's, California, Trip. At any rate, R was this decision which resulted, indirectly in Morse having an opportunity to win the national junior 100-yard and senior 220-dash dashes. As told in THE AGE, of July 29, F. W. Rubien, secretary-treasurer of the Amateur Athletic Union, and president of the metropolitan district, sent for Morse and told him that he believed the decision at Travers Island meet was an injustice, and that the A. A. U. would make it possible for Morse to participate at the Panama-Pacific meet by contributing $100 towards his expenses. The Rev. F. A. Cullen, pastor of the Salem M. E. Church, of which the Salem-Crescent A. C. is an auxiliary, was present at the meeting with Mr. Rubien and accepted the money on behalf of Morse and the club. The members of Salem Church and of the athletic club augmented this amount and sent Morse on to San Francisco. Rubien's confidence in Morse and his square action was justified on Friday, August 6, when Morse: in the junior 100-yard dash, broke the tape a winner in the wonderful time of 9 4-5 seconds. He was ahead of R. E. McBride of the Denver A. C., who won the 220-yard dash in 21 seconds, one-fifth of a faster than the previous world's record, who was second with A. E Ward of Chicago third. Morse's time was one-fifth of a second under the junior A. A. U. record and equalled the senior A. A. U. record. Saturday's performances by Morse were even more surprising. Entered in the seniors, with such men opposing him as Drew, Loomis of Chicago, Meyer of New York. Morse showed his speed and stamina in no uncertain way. In the senior 100-yard dash Loomis was extended to his utmost to heat Meyer, who was second, and Morse, who ran third, with Loomis being clocked in 9 4-5 seconds, equalling the senior A. A. U. record. Drew was not placed, pulling up lame. In the 220-yard dash Morse equalled the world's record and clipped one-fifth of a second off the senior A. A. U. record for the distance when he broke the tape a winner in 21:15 seconds. In this race his strongest New York rival, Meyer, had to take the dust in third place. Smith of Chicago running second to the Salem-Cremes boy. Morse is one of the youngest champions in the country, being only 19 years of age at the present time.

And then in the World, morning, August 11, the folly which is a triviolet whether or not, to the same young ch R. E. MORSE, WINN Roy E. Morse's running camp at the national camp San Francisco. And R. E. Morse comes creed dawn. The guy who made that stu In the New York Living Gate on Tuesday, August 10, Howard Vincent in a sports writer of authority, pays a great tribute to Roy Mosey. Says Valine, "Not one of the new stars that came to the front through the medium of the national championships at San Francisco last Saturday looks more of a real champion than Roy E. Mosey, the little colored boy who meses the colors of the Salem-Crescent Athletic Club of city. Morse won his senior championship spurs in the 22-hour race, bearing out such fliers as Alvan T. Meyer of the Irish-American Athletic Club and H. L. Smith of the University of Michigan who won both of the dashes at the intercollegiate games in May. And Morse is still but a youngster. He should not show his very best form until a year from now, at the earliest, which means that there's another Drew on the way. Unlike Drew, though, Morse can run his 220 even better than he does the short sprint. This he has proven on at least three occasions during the present outdoor season. "Morse first attracted attention at the Princeton University open games at Princeton on May 1, where he ran third in the 100-yard handicap off one and a half yards. Later in the month he astonished the athletic followers by finishing second (close up) in a race at the "hundred" at Stamford, Conn., in 9 3-5 seconds. It was subsequently found that the track was about a stride short. On June 13, at the Irish-American A. C. spring sports, Morse won off one and a half yards against a stiff breeze in "tenone." Six days later at the senior metropolitan championships at Travers Island Morse was placed second to Alvah Meyer in the 100-yard dash, when many thought that he should have been given at least as good as a dead heat. "Morse's next start was at the Panama-Pacific eastern tryouts in Boston, where he heat Meyer in his heat, but lost out in the final. Later in the afternoon Morse ran second in the 220-yard dash to Irving T. Howe of Colby College, then the national champion at that distance, losing the verdict by less than a foot. It was on his running at the metropolitan championships and at the eastern tryouts that the championship committee selected Morse for the trip to the coast, and the little Negro flier vindicated the committee's judgment to the fullest extent. "Morse has an action which is not exactly perfect, yet, it gets him over the ground smoothly and with very little waste effort. If one stands behind Morse when he's running, his action resembles that of Ted Meredith, the great University of Pennsylvania runner, strongly. After his return to the east Morse will run a few races after which he will take a good rest from competition, which he has earned well in the last four months." And then in the *World*, Wednesday morning, August 11, the following poem, which is a tribute whether it is poetry or not, to the same young chap: R. E. MORSE. WINNER. Roy E.

Bradley Moore other Negro athletes winning in the meet were Sol Butler, high school, who won the junior broad the youngster from the Rock Island, Ill. jump with 22 feet 11 inches, and B. Dismond of Chicago, who took third in the senior 440-yard run, which was won by Ted Merehith of the Meadowbrook Club, Philadelphia, in 47 seconds, which equals the world's record. None of the records made at the San Francisco games will go on the official records, however, because of the high winds prevailing, which helped the racers in the straightaway dashes, but retarded the runners on the circular track. H. M. Martin, the hurdler, of the Smart Set A. C., Brooklyn, was also a contender, but advices from the coast are to the effect that he was suffering from soreness in his legs and consequently he could not make a showing. Howard Drew pulled up lame, and it was quite evident that he has not recovered from his recent disabilities which had their inception at Stockholm when he pulled a tendon in practice. The is the first national championship meet at which the colored boys have been contenders as a class, and the fact that three championships were won by them shows the calibre of their ability. The colored athletes established their headquarters at Oakland, where there is a fine athletic field and Howard Drew, who is living on the Coast at present, was with them somewhat in the capacity of a boat. He looked after their comfort and made them welcome to sunny California. Thomas A. Brooks is rehearsing with the Sliding Billy Watson Co., to open at the Gayette Theatre, Detroit, August 21.

The most talked of act on the bill in Harlem the first half was the Model De Lux, posed by three people, who appeared very lifelike. A big time act in every way. Another act of two-a-day caliber was Ford & Bord, one of the classiest, if not the classiest singing and dancing act that she appeared at the Lafayette. Ford & Bord, man and woman, do, not exert, themselves, putting over jokes and songs in an easy, matter-of-fact way that stamps them as artists. Goodwin & Co.: a sketch, contained much humor. Tim Moore was billed, to play at the Lafayette Theatre this week, but some mystery is attached to his non-appearance. In St. Louis some weeks ago he made a verbal contract with Lester A. Walton to appear at the Lafayette the week of August 9. Later Moore was forwarded a contract. by C. W. Morganstern which was signed by the performer, then playing in Indianapolis and returned to Mr. Morganstern. Not a word has been received from Moore regarding his non-appearance. Performers who fall to live up to their contract do not seem to realize that the public soon loses patience with those who do not keep their word. EXTRA—MILLER & LYLES EXTRA—MILLER & LYLES Miller & Lyles will head the bill at the Lafayette Theatre next week and have been booked to appear at the popular Harlem house throughout the week. This is expected to be one of the banner weeks of the summer at the Lafayette as Miller & Lyles are talented young comedians who have one of the strongest blackface turns in vaudeville and are one of the few colored acts to work steadily on the big time. THEATRICAL IOTTINGS I. W. Hamilton of the team of Hamilton & Lewis writes that they are getting a new art ready, to be known as "The Hermit and the Maid".

St. Louis, is receiving the congratulations of members of the theatrical profession for winning his contest for constable, which was decided last week by the Circuit Court after a long, hard fight. The Olivette Theatre, Louisville, Ky., managed by Bessie Oliver Miller, and owned by herself and husband, is doing a good summer business. THE SMART SET CO. The New Smart Set Co. in a three-act musical comedy, entitled "George Washington Bullion Abroad," with Salem Tatt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, the stellar roles, assisted by Miss Blanche Thompson, will open its regular season in early September. Last season the Smart Set under the direction of I. Martin Free and T. J. Corwell was the only colored show able to weather the adverse gales that nearly swamped the theatrical business generally. The new show is written by Mr. Whitney. There will be twenty-two musical numbers written by James Vaughn, assisted by I. Homer Tutt and S. T. Whitney. The lyrics were written by I. Homer Tutt. The story is told in three acts and seven scenes. RETIREMENT OF DREW. Following his defeat in the national A. A. U. championships at the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco last Saturday, press dispatches from Springfield, Mass., his home, announce that Howard P. Drew, the world's champion sprinter, will retire from athletics. The announcement was made, it is reported, in a signed statement telegraphed to Springfield by Drew on Saturday immediately after the 400-yard dash in the senior A. A. U. track and field meet, when he was defeated by Loomis of Chicago, and Meyer and Morse of New York. No other spinner before the American public today, or in the days that has passed, can boast of the records held by this Negro runner. To him is attributed without any cavil the wonderful record of running 100 yards in 9 3-5 seconds. It has been accredited to one or two sprinters, but always with some cloud attached to it. But there was no reservation in the acceptance of Drews accomplishment. He has shown his speed under all conditions; both in American trail abroad; in good weather; and bad, in both scratch and handicap events. The year of 1914 marked his flight water achievements, for besides hanging up the 9-3-5 seconds record for the 100, he created new marks in the 120-yard by doing it in 11 3-5, and in the 130-yard (indoor) by breaking the tape in 12 4-5. He also equalled the world's record for the 220-yard of 21 1-5 seconds. At Elizabeth, N. J., he ran 60 yards in 6 2-5 seconds, equalling the world's record. Three times during the "summer" was Drew accredited with 9 3-5 seconds for the 100, and on one occasion two watches out of five that were held on him showed a slow 9-2-5 seconds. Drew's Great Disappointment. Drew's greatest disappointment throughout his racing career came at the Stockholm - Olympics. No athlete has ever suffered a greater. He was an overwhelming favorite for the 100-metre dash, and in the trials had easily defeated Ralph Craig, who afterwards won both the 100- and 200-metre championships. In his preliminary trials he made a show of the European sprinters who opposed him, winning so easily that the Swedish crowds let out a great "Oh!" in wonderment as Drew would speed down the tracks yards ahead of his rivals. But in the semi-final, which he also won with ease, Drew pulled a tendon right on the tape and was obliged, the next day, to see Ralph Craig take the final and the championship. Drew excelled as a broad jumper, also, and has done 21 feet 10 inches with ease. In his signed statement announcing his retirement, Drew says: I was bothered with my less a great deal today in the race so that I mulld up time at the finish. I have been in poor physical condition, or now weigh only 150 pounds, and I normally weight. I want to say right here that I am through with open competition." BASEBALL RESULTS Lincoln Giants Boat New London. The Lincoln Giants were able to play only one game of last Sunday's scheduled double-header at Olympic Field, a heavy downpour causing a halt to activities in the fourth inning of the feature contest with the Schenectady nine.

A rare treat is in store for the local baseball fans on Sunday, August 15, at Olympic Field, 18th street and Fifth avenue, when the crack Suburban team meets the Lincoln Giants, world's colored champions, in the final game of a double header. The Suburban defeated the strong Bushwick team at Ridgway last Sunday twice, and flushed with victory, will make their only appearance in Harlem this season on Sunday. Linderman, their star pitcher, has always been a stumbling block for the colored champions, and a rare pitching drill will result when he opposes "Cyclone" Joe Williams, the striker in king of the colored pitchers. As the Suburban's seldom play away from their own grounds, their appearance at Olympic Field is expected to attract the banner crowd of the season. The Passage will meet the Lincoln Center on Thursday. BRADDOCK PA BRATTOK K.

Negro Children Are Clever. The little chap looks to be bright and clever and the Contest Editor is not surprised to read of his smart things. The many letters received are interesting because of the examples of preoccupiness cited by. proud parents. The fact stands out that Negro children are as smart as any children in the world, surpassed by none, equalled by few. Only the lack of space prevents giving more of these letters in these columns. The cultivation of race pride and race love is one of the tasks of the mothers of the Negro race and the following interesting letter from a New York mother shows how well she appreciates the scope of her duty in this particular: "Enclosed photo of my little daughter, age 6 years, weight, 43 pounds; also, her colored doll, which she loves very dearly, as I do not allow her to play with dolls only of her own race. I am trying to make me a doll to be by daily teaching her to love whatever belongs to the colored race. I think every mother should surround their children with pictures and literature of our race that they may love one another and become united as all other races are. The only way to make race-loving children to train them for such. In order to have better babies, which of course will be better men and women, it is necessary to give your child fresh, nutritious food, regular hours for sleep, and above all, plenty of fresh air, which can be obtained in the kitchen and night, and the street is the wrong place to have your baby develop into a better baby or better men and women." Contest Drawing to a Close. There are just three weeks more of THE BETTER-BABIES' CONTEST. The last publication of photos will be made in the issue of September 2. All photos received in THE AGE office not later than September 2 will be eligible for the contest, but no photo received after August 30 can be reproduced in the paper. That is because the paper forms close on Wednesday, September 1, and the engraver must have photos two days earlier in order that the cuts may be ready for use. At the close of the contest all the photos will be turned over to the judges, a committee of seven capable and disinterested persons, who will make the awards, six for Greater New York, and six for the country at large. The pictures will be divided into two classes for each section, one class comprising the kiddies up to three years old, and the other class those to 12 years of age. All awards will be based upon the photos submitted. Keep this fact in mind—there are just three weeks more. YOUNGEST SON OF LATE PROF.

Burroughs, president, Lincoln Heights, Washington, D.C. is offering special inducements to one hundred exceptional girls who want to become proficient. In some profession or trade, Good position or experience will factor in the commercial device, printing, social service and d.墨istic service and arts. Courses offered at the school are domestic science and arts, literary training, fourth grade through normal, commercial, printing, social service, making, haskery, purity, gardening, hardship, millinery, music, hardressing, manicuring, massaging, mundering and housekeeping. Most Burroughs, in her announcement, take that healthy, promising girls, with both themselves and a desire, to mould into great and wanted men, who have been misfits and failures in other schools, or who have been sent to a new school every year. (Continued from page 1) ics cares little about you and me—is not concerned with the adult except as a means to an end. Could there be some means of people the world all over today with a fresh stock of babies, without the intervention of the man and woman, the eugenist would give us adults no further consideration; but since these things by nature are not possible and the eugenic baby can only come through correct parentage, those interested are forced to consider ways and means of purifying the present contaminated race of mortals—in order to fit them for the duties before them. "It has been stated that 100 years from now the United States will have accomplished what no other race has ever accomplished or it will cease to be as a nation. It is estimated that if the United States were to years from now every other child born in this country will either die in infancy or be unfit for self-support, thus being a burden upon society. Here is where the eugenist expects to get in touch with the people and thus change the mode of living so as to bring about a different result. At present one out of every four children born dies in infancy. Many of the others who live to grow up become wards of the nation, burdens on society. We can only perpetuate the race through a healthy childhood. "Twenty per cent of American women are unable to bear children and 25 per cent of others are unwilling; that percentage of others is increasing to furnish the offspring necessary to perpetuate this great nation. And then we consider that quite large numbers of our children per cent are unit, we begin to see the nature of our problem. The great majority of this 20 per cent are unable to bear children, the great majority of cases, contracted incessantly from their own, husbands. Twenty-five per cent more are unwilling. Here we run against the problem of race suicide. "The crime of the age." Wema Has; Maternal Instinct. The maternal instinct is deeply rooted in the very nature of every true woman. It is there whether she marries a man or not. It is something wrong. It is there by nature's decree, but contrary to this natural condition our artificial civilization is bringing about a condition that is not what young women today contemplates marriage does so with a proviso, and some have made their mathematical calculations and deduction with a pretense that is appalling to the uninhibited. "One will say, Yes, Mr. Lover, I will become your wife provided there are no children." Another will say, There are to be none inside of two children. Another will go these, one better and dictate there are to be none inside of three years and then only one or perhaps she may not permit two. Such statements would seem to be amusing and are they married than they process with their damnable practices. One writer states that in almost every family attempts have been made to prevent conception or to produce abortion, are they married than they process with their damnable practices. 700 miscarriages. "With all the emphasis at my command I say that the woman who is unable or unwilling to perform the duties of wife and mother should not marry and be pregnant, or engage in pregnancy. He would first ascertain if the contracting parties are physically qualified for parental duties. If not, he would prevent their marriage; but if physically qualified, the woman and no sentiment would be permitted to interfere with the production of offspring. YOUNG GIRLS AND BOYS YOUNG TEXAS VIEW TEXAS LYNCHING Serving for XYX, XYX Sarah Hale, Tex., Aug. 10, "Shim' Harris and 'Diecy' Bell, the two Negroes arrested in connection with the Grimes murders, for which Will Stanley was burned and to death early on Saturday morning, July 31, were liberated after an exhaustive examination in which no evidence could be found connecting them with the crime. They were told to leave town, which they did at once. The officers have expressed relief that the State Attorney and only actor in the crime although another report has it that the white man who was implicated by the Negro has been arrested. This is not apt to be true, as eye witnesses state that Stanley's evident willingness to talk was prevented by the unacceptable action of the mob which would not listen to the cooler leads who wanted to get all the information possible. Earlier in the day some of the mob had tried to hang a Neuro employed on the Grimes' farm, but Mr. Grimes' brother saved him by lowering him from the tree limb to which he had been hauled. Young Girls and Rows Viewed Lynch- ing. the mob selected an open space in the well lighted public square for the burning. The men searched through the alleys and side streets for dry goods boxes and anything else to be found with which to build a fire. When the flames were raging sufficiently strong, Stanley, chained and managed was thrown into them. He strung frantically and managed to roll out from the dames six times, only to be first back by the raging mob. When the dames had barricaded out, the charred body was taken out and hanged to a wire on a Chambers column sign. It was taken down later in the day, and in the potter's well section of the coloured cemetery. Investigation of Stanley's name at the Fort Worth address which he gave has been fruitless. It is probable that the name and address given were both fictitious. In the crowd viewing the burning were many women and girls of tender age, while the trees bordering the square were throned with boys. After the body was taken from the fire many of the people searched the ashes of the savengers and some of the women locked up with their belonged to be from the Negro ashes. The white people of the town are showing a desire to get the excitement die out. There is very little probability that any official action will be taken as to the violence of the mob.
