XXVIX No. 10 THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1915 PRICE FIVE CENTS NEGROES BARRED BY REPUBLICANS Louisiana "Lily Whites" Meet at Leading Hotel in New Orleans Seventy-five Whites, Representing But Half of the Parishes in the State, Organize "State Committee." BIG SPLIT IS THREATENED Negroes to Take Contests to National Convention-Of the Three Hundred and Twenty-five Earrolled Republicans in New Orleans 260 are Negroes. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. NEW ORLEANS, La. Nov. 30—With the outlook particularly bright for the G.O.) P. in 1916, when President Wilson's successor will be chosen, and with thousands of colored voters who cast their vote with the Progressives four years ago returning to the fold, Republ an leaders have become worried over the efforts of "Lily Whites" in the South to keep colored Republicans of good standing out of the party councils. The hottest fight between colored and white Republicans is being waged in Louisiana, where a few white men met at the Grunwald Hotel, this city, several days ago and proceeded to hold a session of the Republican State Central Committee without a single colored representative. Walter L. Cohen and Madison Vance, members of the Republican State Central Committee, charge that the meeting of the committee was held at the Grunwald Hotel with the express object of barring Negroes, as the hotel does not cater to colored people. When Messrs. Cohen and Vance learned that the Republican State Central Committee was to hold forth at the Hotel Grunwald they called on the management in company with S. W. Greene and J. W. Cooke to find out if Negroes would be admitted. They were politely informed that the rules of the hotel forbade colored patronage. So at the session of the "Republican State Central Committee" not a colored man was present, and when the names of J. Madison Vance of the Fourth Ward and Walter L. Cohen of the Fifth Ward were suggested they were voted down unanimously. The "Lily White" convention was attended by about seventy-five white men, representing half the parishes of the State. It was decided to have no State ticket this year, a platform was adopted and a complete new State Central Committee elected. In New Orleans there are only 325 enrolled Republicans, 260 of whom are Negroes, and with the inevitable split it can be readily seen that the white Republicans will be greatly in the minority. As the result of the barring of colored men from the meeting at Hotel Grunewald the colored Republicans met and effected an organization, deciding to send a delegation to the next National Republican Convention and claim recognition. What is now puzzling the "Lily Whites" in New Orleans is how they will be able to elect 113 delegates from that city when there are only 325 registered Republicans, of which 260 are Negroes. THE GRAND ARMY POST PUTS BAN ON "CLANSMAN" Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Nov 29—The Grand Army of the Republic in a strong attack has put the ban on "The Clansman," called by motion picture men the masterpiece of film drama. The post also recommends that the films be suppressed. The resolutions adopted by the post were made public by Geo: H. Thomas, Post No. 2, department of California and Nevada. The order charges that "the film shamelessly misrepresents the Federal soldier engaged in suppressing the rebellion and maintaining the integrity of the nation. It attempts to throw the mantle of respectability around the infamous bandits called the Ku Klux Klan. Its tendency is to engender hatred against the Negro race and against the colored troops who fought against it. The Grand Army post winds up its bride by characterizing the Clansman is being "false in sentiment, false in history, false in fact." NEW YORK DOCTORS AGREED WITH KENNEY An interesting statement is made by Dr Roberts of New York City, mention with the illness and death of Robert T. Washington, which to the diagnosis and treatment case by Dr John A Kenny, the physician at Tuskegee Institute, states the eminent doctor the Rockefeller Institute of Reid at the St Luke's Hospital, York, where Dr Washington was found the diagnosis made into ago by Dr Kenny to be also correct, and could recommend no cement in the method of treatment that had been pursued. COUNTRY CONTINUES TO MOURN DR. WASHINGTON From all sections of the country there continues to come accounts of meetings held by the people, regardless of race, who are mourning the death of the late Dr. Booker Taliaferro Washington. The universality of the atmosphere of grief shows that the effect of Washington's work was confined to no particular section of the country or the enjoyment of its effect to any particular people. New Haven, Conn. New Haven, Conn., Conn.-In the Varsick Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church on October 15, 2015, a public utterance on any platform the memory of Booker T. Washington was eulogized Sunday afternoon. November colored people from all walks of life in New Haven, and suggestions were made that a public memorial be erected where he uttered his last words of courage and advice to his own people accentuated by letters of regret from prominent men who were not able to be appointed Ex-President William H. Taft said many of his friends in Washington was one of the most powerful forces for the proper settlement of the geography. His life has appeared in his low-Negroes, his inspiring encouragement to make themselves individually valuable to community, urging upon them the honestly persistent use of their opportunities, with a promise of higher achievements as a reward, have done more for the Negro than any other factor in their progress." President Hadley's Tribute. President Hadley of Yale sent a tone letter of regret, read by P. H. Davis, in which he, too, eloquized Washington in which he, too, his wife, the "kind of man the country needed, and still needs. The first quality of his work was thoroughness. There is too danger that America in education and in blood will suffer second quality of his work was the adaptation of the means to the end Dr. Washington was essentially a practical man. He saw what the South and what the women and women of his race required." congressman John Q. Hilson said the Washington was much more than a great leader in the colored race. He towered over the blacks and whites. Emphasis was laid by the speakers upon the achievement of Dr. Washington and the fact, that though all members of the party did not agree with him, they nevertheless acknowledged his genius and courage Resolution Adopted. The following resolutions were adopted by the meeting: 1. Work together in perfect harmony with divine laws, is frugal in her creation of men, she creates them and puts them into the world. In the past many men use as each other's muse, must create the world his audience, will determine how well or till he plays their part. Some of the men will play roles and achieve immortality, others will excelence, and others will remain underlings. When the ordinary player, or the underling, is lost, there is no grief, for he makes one to take his place. But when one of the great is lost, the order is upset, the world heart it with pain, and the great men are made with great effort. "Resolved father That is he has gone before us, strength and frailty, kindness and unkindness, all the elements of life and his living of them have ceased their visible play of action. But nothing is lost. Let us hope that his energies have touched into action and that he may be carried on for ever. For when in the dim vistas of coming ages the muse of history lifts the wall from the misty past.

His influence, he said, was not immediately in the school room, but was more than potential and intellectual. He educated theories did not have to be taught. He brought the two together. It was man-centered to travel and industrial education, to number of his career, when social people should trust him to communicate with people and provide them with information that deserved them. He also was to bring the career he possessed to serve the poor and the disabled in the memory. Suggesta Memorlid Here THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1915. THE LIFE OF MARY C. BURTON ?

Dec 1 A recent event that has attracted much attention was the unveiling by the city of Harrisburg of a memorial to the memory of Dr William H Jones, a Negro, who died ten years ago. Dr Jones had served several terms on the school board and was a man of wide popularity among all races. This is the first time in Harrisburg history that this city has been honored to Negro. The memorial is in the shape of a column at the entrance of the two-story playground and the committee in charge of the dedication included both colored and white men.

This operation was performed at the Cooper Hospital, where Alfred Monroe, a Negro boy of eleven wounded by a pearl so that a leg had to be amputated, and John Hyde, a whitman of forty-six with a fractured leg occupied in the spine wound. The thomas Hyde leg to respond to the normal treatment puzzled the surgeons and they finally decided to try the plan of grafting the bone from the Negro's amputated leg to that of the white man's fractured leg.

TERRELL MAKING TEXAS TOUR Secret to: New York, Asc. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE AUSTIN, Tex., Nov. 30—On Wednesday, November 24, Judge Robert H. Terrell of the Municipal Court, Washington, D. C., the only Negro holding a judicial position in the District of Columbia, was a visitor this week on Manassas, Va. He was accompanied by Dr. E. W. D. Abner, who was his host, the Rev. J. B. Pius, President R. S. Lovinggood of Samuel Huston College, and the Rev. H. M. Kingsey. Mayor Wooldridge gave a cordial reception to the colored jurist, who is touring Texas to investigate the condition of Texas Negroes, the information to be incorporated into a series of articles for Northern papers on the condition of the Southern Negro. He was informed by the Mayor that Austin was one Southern city where no Negro has ever been lynched; that race hatred has never existed to any extent; that the Negroes of Austin are not a burden on the city, but a help to it, and that although second among the races represented in the city's population, they are third in number of charity patients. The Mayor stated also that many Negroes own fine homes in good localities and are well thought of by their white neighbors. Judge Terrell has presided over the Municipal Court in Washington for fourteen years, being appointed by President Roosevelt, with whom he was at Harvard University. He was reappointed by President Taft and by President Wilson. He expressed himself as being greatly pleased at what he had seen of Austin. "It is beautiful," he said "one of the most beautiful cities in the country." He expressed the belief that white men of the South generally are fair-minded and willing to help the Negro. Judge Terrell's advice to the race is to remain in the South, as little opportunity is afforded the Negro in the North. Rufus G. Byars, formerly of Texas, but at present living in Washington, is with Judge Terrell on the trip HOWARD ORPHANAGE IS MAKING PROGRESS Maj. R. R.

Address at Business League. At the recent session of the National Negro Business League at Boston, Mr. Spalding, the vice-president and general manager, delivered the following interesting and illuminating address on Late Insurance and Its Benefits": Dr. Washington and Members of the League: The few minutes allotted to me will not permit me to discuss this broad subject as it should be treated, and I am sure you will pardon me for limiting the consideration of the subject to the personal experience I have had as manager of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association for sixteen years past Our company was organized in 1899 on the "mutual, assurance" plan and has had continuous growth since that time. We were commited to North Carolina at first, but have extended our work into South Carolina and Georgia successfully. In each case the state requirements have been met. At the present time we have $3,000,000 of insurance in force in North Carolina $1,800,000 in South Carolina, and $1,200,000 in Georgia making a total of $5,000,000. The collections have grown As a result of our first year's effort, only $840 was collected, while during our sixteenth year $404,600 was received. Every year has marked an increase in the volume of business and a corresponding growth in public opinion. The successes for our business have been from our customers. Our staff always maintains strict and in this past year we met as well as the local and national agents have contributed. It has been evident to the whole organization that competent machine all parts will admirably and dominate both carpentry and milling. Company Placed on Legal Reserve Basis THE MUSEUM OF THE WORLD POLICY DEPARTMENT many policies have all modern provisions, including a minimum twenty-payment and term features. The most I need have not distressed from those used by other successful business enterprises. Without an intelligent interest in the welfare of the worker, all enterprises that depend upon his efforts must either fail or cease to be aggressive. It has been our constant care to provide the needful conditions for respectable living for all of our employees. Our object has been to reward meritorious service, and we have so shaped our policy in this respect as to have it understood that any and all may reasonably expect to be dealt with on this ground. Good judgment energy and honesty have not thus failed of their reward. This attitude has inspired the worker to do his best along all lines. The same disposition to give a fair deal to the agent has been extended to the policy holders as well. In conducting a complex business and kind offerences the entrance has shown no exception to this rule. In many cases the differences are of such character as to cause much difficulty unless speedily and justly settled. In such cases it has been our utmost desire to protect the policy holder against the unfair treatment of agents. It has not been our desire to interfere with the agent in the orderly and legitimate performance of his duties, but rather to come to the rescue of the policy holder where the reputation of the company was at stake on account of the unwarranted acts of the agent which teuded to destroy the public confidence which we desired. ```markdown ``` Some companies allow their agents to take their clients, claims, to settle them for less than their face value. This has often especially true of some of the companies using onlines at Negroes in our territory. Accustomed as colored people are to deter to the opinions or suggestions of white people, the path when leads to alarms along this line is made easy—so easy indeed that a safe majority of them use this method to detrain the ignorant and erudite Negro on the other hand, colored agents don't get off so easily. The policy holder must be careful and is given alarm when such proposals are made. Such also is the case with the colored company. In our dealings with claimants, however, we have never attempted to scale a claim nor have we ever allowed an agent to do so. We have done this because we felt it to be the honest thing to do, nor do we think it is possible to get and hold public confidence without it. Another method in use is to cause the lapse of policies in case of sickness. In such cases the agent purposely misses the collection of premiums and thereafter causes the policy to be lapsed because of the supposed failure of the insured to meet them when due. Their purpose is obviously frantic because it places additional burden upon the sick and aggravates the very conditions it is supposed to alleviate. This is a favorite method with companies and agents who operate not the purpose of derrapping a people. In their a warning should be sounded especially among colored policy holders to pay their insurance premiums promptly and not allow their policies to go. That such methods have harmed the whole insurance business goes with not saving. That such companies in the same methods lay their own graves is equally certain. In breaking down public confidence on the one hand such methods have worked against us whereas they have done the other hand help us in a contrast with the methods we have employed.

The focus is on the window and the interior, but the details are not clear. Negro progress been that there has been a corresponding fear that is a lack of training should undermine his temple of material wealth. It is the function of his insurance companies not only to take care of and administer this wealth, but to train in the people in the habities we are necessary to the accumulation of wealth. The training which Negro companies are giving in things of material value is invaluable. They have demonstrated to the plan people the possibility of making small weekly payments into a company's treasury and thereby providing for sickness and death in a way that did not previously appear possible. The habit of regular saving, when once acquired, makes one more valuable to himself and the community. No line of colored business has been so fruitful of results along this line as the insurance company. In fact, they are the training schools for large financial ventures among colorful people. Aside from the training which individual members have received, the operation of Negro insurance companies has also helped in breaking down prejudices against Negro business ventures. In many cases this has followed as a result of rudeness and impoliteness on the part of some white agents, who have been allowed to enter the houses of colored people for the purpose of collecting premiums. White Agents Were Discourteous. In my part of the country it has frequently happened that white insurance agents, rent collectors and the like have walked right into a Negro home without even knocking at the door and without taking off his hat after he has entered the house. It is up to us to put a stop to such discountive practice all over this country, and the best way we can do it is to withdraw your patronage from such agents and patronize some colored insurance company of standing and reability, whose agents will treat your homes with the proper respect. The failure to knock sometimes or to take off the hat while in the house has taught our people some valuable lessons by comparison. It has not seemed an unfair advantage to call the attention of the people to these things whenever some glaring example has given the occasion. The results have not been limited to insurance, but have also extended to cement the friendship of the persons affected in other lines of business controlled by colored people. Aside from the training thus given the masses of the people, there has been direct training of young men and women in business methods that have been far reaching in its results. We have about seven hundred young men and women employed, only four of whom are white. Many of these have come to us already trained, whereas a large majority have received their training directly from the company. In selecting the trained men, we have been careful to put more stress upon practical business training and experience than upon theoretical business training simply. Contact with the entire general hold of business which the unprecedented need of our company has created gives better ground for the continuation of better business methods. Methods which were adequate for the business of a less active commercial era have given way to system and labor-saving devices in keeping with the financial and industrial progress of the world. Has Created a New Literature Out of this progress has arisen a literature—the literature of business. The young men who have acquired familiarity with this literature and its dependent methods are in position to command the attention of our employment arm as others could not. Such men however, are scarce and in order to get sufficient workers the company has had to train its employees. This training A COURSE IN HAIR CULTURE Thousands are making a success. Why not you?

A. not only includes the technical knowledge necessary to the proper handling of the insurance business, but also lessons in promptness, neatness and honesty which are equally essential. We never fail to impress upon our agents the value of personal cleanliness, of absolute frankness and honesty in all business transactions. This twofold educational development has had noticeable effect on all lines of business controlled by colored people wherever the company is located. In opening and enlarging the field for the employmeng of those who have received training, the insurance business has been a decided blessing. The benefits which have followed the operation of insurance companies among colored people are many. Possibly the most pronounced public service which such companies have rendered consists in the removal of prejudice of white companies against Negro risks. There was a time when the larger white companies would not accept colored people on the ground that all of them were poor risks. Now it is possible to get insurance in almost these companies. This result has come from our work done by Negro companies. From our work appeared that a Negro, if possessed the same healthful surroundings lives long as the other man, and is in consequence as good a risk. The Negro companies have, therefore, forced the white companies to accept risks which they previously declined. Before the coming of the colored insurance company, there was also continued begging or constant appeals for charities on the part of wife or husband, kindred or friend on behalf of one sick or dead. In the larger towns such appeals to the public were so numerous as almost to amount to a public insurance. Now such things are rarely heard of. To have taken such burdens from two shoulders of the public and to place them where they belong upon the shoulders of those who can and ought to provide for their own sickness and to which in health is a most needed benefit to the individual and the community. During the last sixteen years, two and a half million dollars have been collected from and paid back to just such people by our own company so as to provide the needed care for the sick and give decent burial to the dead. The benefits have also extended themselves so far as to include the community. At least twice a year our people lead in the "clean up" days in the many towns and cities where we operate. This is in keeping with the effort of all insurance companies to probing litter by all possible means, especially those that may be used by anyone without much trouble or cost. Knowledge is then an essential part of health campaign. At the suggestion of Dr Booker T Washington, our company sent out last year, over 50,000 circulars on social settlement work and sanitation. Our agents who are usually among the leaders in their communities are the distributing centers for such literature. In keeping with this idea, many insurance companies employ nurses to attend their sick members, and our company has recently decided to turnach a trained nurse for all persons carrying our ordinary insurance. These are some of the lines of community benefit along which our company has sought to entrench itself. Insurance is business. It is not operated on the "hit and miss" or "good luck" plan but is built on the law of average and as such has a sure foundation.

WASHINGTON'S SUCCESSOR Seth Low, president of the board of trustees of Tuskegee Institute, has called a meeting of the trustees, to be held at the school on December 13, to elect a successor to Dr. Booker T. Washington We feel that the board of trustees should not be hampered by having urged upon it the names of any individual, but should be left free to choose the man they believe to be best fitted for the position. However, we hope that, in making the choice, the board will keep in view all that the position demands. The position carries more than the mere principalship of a school. There may be in the United States a dozen or more colored men whose names are almost unknown who could acceptably perform the duties of principal, and keep the routine affairs of the school moving smoothly and satisfactorily, yet it would not require two thoughts to decide that such a man would not fill the position. The man who is chosen to take Dr. Washington's place must be a man who as nearly as possible measures up to Dr. Washington's stature. He should not only be a man with the gift of organization and administration, so that the school shall be kept moving smoothly, but he should be a man capable of shedding inspiration, arousing enthusiasm and wielding influence. To sum it up, he should be a man who will not be important merely because he holds the position of Principal of Tuskegee, but who, because he holds it, will make the principalship of Tuskegee more important. THE QUESTION. The following article which appeared on the editorial page of The New York Globe places the race question squarely before the South in particular and the country in general: A VOICE FROM THE SOUTH: There is a prevalent disposition to feel that you can solve a big problem by calling names. Take the Negro problem. The Rev. Mr. Dixon treats it in "The Birth of a Nation" as something hideous, and lets it go at that. But that sort of thing is good. It is here recalled simply to contrast it with another statement of the problem made in the Houston Post at the time of Booker Washington's death: The southern white people are ultimately to have as their name many millions of black people, ignorant, immoral, criminal, inefficient, filthy, diseased, and hopeless, or they are going to have as their neighbors a Negro race that is intelligent, virtuous, efficient, honest, patriotic, friendly, human, and great men and women know that the south needs the latter. It is a sane, intelligent statement. That it should come from a representative southern newspaper is a hopeful indication of the growth of a new spirit.—Kansas City Star. There is no middle ground. The Negro in this country must either continue to go forward or he must go backward. He must be either a help or a miracle. Which does the country wish him to be? Of course, the full answer to this question does not rest entirely with the white people of this country. The Negro is not waiting like a lump of clay to be moulded into any sort of shape that the white people might decide he should take. He is moulding his own shape. He is thinking for himself. He is pressing JAMES W. JOHNSON, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR. THE ONE "BEST SELLER." When it comes to "best sellers," no book ever published can compare with the Bible. It sells in millions where other great books sell in thousands. The war has greatly increased the volume of certain exports from the United States. We all know that among these exports are grain, war munitions, motor vehicles and steel; however, we are sure, that many will be surprised to learn that the sale of Bibles has also been greatly increased. It is said that the increase will reach fifty per cent. One Bible house in this city reports the manufacture and sale of one million Bibles, a larger number than of any previous year. It is estimated that the entire trade for the year will amount to $2,800,000. Some people consider it a sign of smartness to say that they do not read the Bible. Aside from any question of religion, there are few books as worthy of being read as is the Bible. For anyone who pretends to be cultured, it is as silly to boast of not reading the Bible as it would be to boast of not reading Shakespeare. Great minds may differ regarding its religious teachings, but they agree upon its literary value. The narrative portions of the Bible are the finest models we possess of clear, direct, concise English. No circumlocution, no wasted words, no digressions; just a plain, direct story told so that a child can understand it. The very simplicity of the language makes it sublime. Take, for example, the thirty-one verses of the first chapter of Genesis, in which is given what is commonly known as the Mosaic account of the creation. The story of the making of the world is told in less than one thousand words, and so that everyone who reads or listens can understand it. Of course, we are not discussing the scientific accuracy of the account, but considering it only as a literary feat. And if anyone wishes to realize how great a feat it is, let him sit down and try to write out some incident he has witnessed; say, a fight or a fire or a murder, in such language that anybody who reads it will clearly understand just what happened. Then let the same person imagine the task of describing the creation of the world in the same manner. The average writer would feel called upon to use all the thunders and lightnings in the English language. In fact, the average writer will use up these thunders and lightnings in giving an account of the death and funeral of some local preacher. But not only is the Bible a model of narrative English, it contains a fund of unsurpassed dramatic and lyric poetry. If the poetic portions of the book were printed in lines instead of verses, the literary value would be more apparent to most people. In no book not in Shakespeare or in the epics or tragedies of the old Greeks can be found language and sentiments more sublime than are found in the dramatic poem known as the Book of Job. Take the first lines of the third chapter, in which Job curses the day of his birth. "Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said. There is a man child conceived. Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it, let a cloud dwell upon it, let the darkness of the day terrify it As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months. Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein. Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light but have none, neither let it see the dawning of the day. Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes. Has the bitterness of a man's soul ever been poured out in words more terrible than these? Now take the lines in the ninth chapter, in which Job acknowledges God's greatness, and note their sublimity: "Which removeth the mountains, and they know not which overturneth them in his anger. Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble." Which commandeth the sun, and jt riseth not, and sealeth up the stars. Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. Which maketh Arcturus, Orion and Pleades, and the chambers of the south. Which doeth great things past finding out, and wonders without number. Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not, he passeth on also, but I perceive him not. Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? Who will say unto him, what doest thou? To fully appreciate the Book of Job, it should be remembered that it is a drama; in other words, a play. The Lord, Satan, Job, his wife and his three friends are all characters, and speak their parts: in fact, it could be played on a stage. The play contains even comedy lines; for instance, where Job replies to his comforters and says: "No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom, shall die with you." For sheer lyric beauty, turn to the Psalms. No English lyric poet has excelled the best of the Psalms. For example, take the following lines from Psalm 42: "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God." My soul thirstest for God, for the living God: When shall I come and appear before my God? My tears have been my meat' day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts; all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. I will sae on God my rock; why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me, while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance and my God." We have not the space to cite the glowing passion of the Song of Songs, or the burning eloquence of Isaiah and Jeremiah. We can only add that, whatever your religious opinions may be, you have no right to count yourself as cultured if you have not read the Bible as pure literature. WHY WHITE PEOPLE SHOULD READ NEGRO NEWS-PAPERS. A correspondent writes to us from Tonopah, Nevada, saying that he is making an effort to get as many white subscribers as possible for The Age. At the same time he asks us to state some reasons why white people should read Negro newspapers. forward and upward. Nevertheless the white people have it in their power to make casier or harder his progress. Which do they intend to do? Humanity, Christianity and common sense, all urge that they should put no obstacles in his way, even if they do not aid him. The white people of the country and, especially, of the South should count themselves fortunate that the Negro's attitude is such as it is. If the race, instead of being forward-looking and forward-moving, was content to sink into the slough of despondency and hopelessness, then indeed would this country have a problem and task before it to excite the sympathy and pity of the world. In the first place, we wish to say that our correspondent shows himself to be a wideawake man. How many agents of colored newspapers are there who realize that it is possible to interest white readers? That it is possible, even easy, is proved by the fact that The Age has among its subscribers a large number of white people. The names of some of the white people who read The Age regularly would make an astonishing list. There are several good reasons why white people should read Negro newspapers; one of them is that the white people of this country ought to know what the ten million colored people who live amongst them think of them. Sometimes our opinion of our white fellow citizens is very high; they would find that gratifying. Sometimes our opinion is just the opposite; they would find that instructive. However, the principal reason why white people should read Negro newspapers is that it would make them better acquainted with colored people; and, with better acquaintance would come better understanding. The main cause of prejudice is ignorance. People of one race or nation dislike people of another race or nation because they do not know the things about them. In every people there are more good qualities than bad qualities; and when those good qualities are known and appreciated, blind prejudice is bound to vanish. Anyone who knows the Chinese only by the few Celestial laundrymen in his town is more than apt to have a contemptuous opinion of the whole race and to speak of them as "chinks." But when he learns that many of the inventions which have made human progress possible (notably the mariner's compass and printing from movable type), were originated by the Chinese; that the Chinese have produced great philosophers and sages; that in spite of all the modern advancement of Japan, the literature of China still constitutes the classics of the Mikado's kingdom, just as Greek and Latin literature constitute the classics of the western world; when he learns that most Japanese banks have Chinese cashiers, because honesty is considered a traditional virtue of all Chinese business men; when he learns that as a race the Chinese are exceptionally industrious, frugal and temperate; and that their civilization, on the whole, is the most remarkable that any branch of the human, family has yet evolved, having endured for five thousand years or more, and been adequate for the general peace and happiness of the people, while scores of other civilizations have blossomed and perished; when anyone has learned these and other similar facts about the Chinese, how will it be possible for him to think of them only with contempt and speak of the race as "chinks?" To do so would merely be a proof of his own inferiority. The Chinese are on the other side of the world; but, in many respects, they are no farther distant from the white people of the United States than are the Negroes who live in this country. Much of the prejudice against us arises from ignorance of our better qualities. Through a hostile or indifferent press the deeds of the worst elements in the race are made common knowledge. In many localities we are known and judged by those members of the race who are frequenters of police courts. White Americans need to become better acquainted with colored Americans. They need to come into closer touch with the progressive, home-building, education-seeking elements of the Negro race: to come into closer sympathy with their aspirations and struggles. This they can accomplish in a large measure by reading Negro publications. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY PRESIDENT WILSON'S SILENCE. To the Editor of The Age I notice you are taking cognizance of the fact that no public expression has come from the President respecting the passing of Booker T. Washington. No, the present occupant of the White House is too little a man to do anything nor narrow. You spoke of his being afraid of Southern sentiment as the reason for his silence. No, not that. The South is too generous for that. Its people are too proud of the Southern press was most lavish in its comment upon the worthiness of Dr. Washington's life. The truth of the matter is that Mr. Wilson has been frozen out of the world and does possess those rugged qualities which belong to the real Northernner. The result is that Mr. Wilson possesses a dired persimmon. Dr. Washington is more honored by his silence than by anything such a little-soured man could say of him; and I, for one, am glad that his memory is not dishonored by any public utterance from Mr. Wilson. E. A. LONG. Cambria, Va., November 27. (The following letter anent the President's silence, evidently written by a white man, appeared in the New York Evening Post.) Booker Washington and the President. To the Editor of The Evening Post: The President is a President regret the silence at the death of Booker T. Washington. They regret it not for Dr. Washington's sake, but for Dr. Wilson's. They like to think of the President as a great man in this occasion recalls on this occasion recalls to mind a truth recognized by the ancients, which is to the effect that no man was ever yet made great by position, while many men, of which Dr. Washington was a young example, have made lowly positioned men. To the real lovers of humanity, free from the meanness and stupidity of caste prejudices, a compensation will be offered to all who have been in all other violations of taste more or less of importance. The truth is perhaps that a greater tribute is paid to the real President by the standing of Dr. Washington by those who ask why Dr. Wilson imored his death than if a mere President had issued a proclamation of public mourn- RALCY HUSTED BELL New York, November 22. Monument to Washington at the Nation's Capital. To the Editor of The Age: There is no place more favorable in the country to a status to Booker T. Washington than here, the nation's capital. On all sides the different nationalities can point with pride to some hero of theirs. We, with 10,000,000 Negroes, not a number of our many Negroes who have passed away can be found. While the race and nation bow in secret sorrow over the remains of our great leader and author, let us turn our eyes to the hour, when we have our churches throughout the United States set aside a Sunday to be known as Booker T. Washington monument subscription day; our Sunday School, our day school, our societies, our churches, the glory of his name and see with others the status of Booker T. Washington in the city of Washington A SUCCESSOR TO WASHINGTON (From Boston Evening Transcript.) The trustees of Tuskegee can never fill Booker Washington's place, but they will probably go as far as it is for him. He will probably go as far as it is for him. R. Moton to be principal of the institution, as they appear likely to do. Major Moton, who is now the commander and disciplinarian at Hampton, has strong points to recommend him. He is a man of pure African race, with that long head and quiet intelligence among his own race when the characteristic is fully possessed. Prudence and energy are called for at Tuskegee more than learning, and both of these qualities are evident in Ward said that George Washington's chief mark of greatness was that he "never stopped over," and it was recognized by Washington had the same priceless faculty. Major Moton is a man of the same type. In his lesser field, he has never been accused of commitment to Tuskegee, which seems to carry with it the leadership of the colored race, were committed to him, he would probably endear him to Booker Washington when he placed it. Tuskegee should seek a grudent, quiet and masterful man with headship, and not one passing by without endearment, often prove so dangerous as development in the colored race. COUNTRY CONTINUES TO MOURD DR. WASHINGTON much. He stooped to conquer and he did conquer. W. D. Wigh, representing the laymen talked particularly of Dr. Washington's work at Tuckekee, Dr. Frank Baker, secretary of the Colored Business Men's Association, that Booker T. Washington's birthday would become a national holiday in time. The Monroe Travis spoke, the latter placing Washington in a class with Frederick Douglas and Will Monroe Travis in his efforts for the race. The Rev David S. Klugh, pastor of the Monroe church, close a friend to Washington as any man in the city, and whom the great Negro church at Tuckekee, paid him a splendid tribute. Selections of a memorable character were given by Miss Josephine Mune, who sang "One Sweetly Solemn Mute," M. F. Simmons, and the church choir. New Orleans, La. the Rev. D. F. Taylor, W. K. Hope, Alexander Paul. He was the wizard of the day, speaking on "Dr. Washington as a World Character." His address covered half an hour, but it was so brimful of speech that he was taken every step taken by Dr. Washington from the day he started work at Tuskegee to debarrers before the great audience at the last biennial meeting of the Council of Congregational Churches, even seven, his latter lecture of October. In his splendid address on "Dr. Washington as an Educator," Dr. Lawless had unmistakably Dr. Washington had placed himself on record by his New Haven speech for the highest and best education he could provide, the foundation for it first lapsed on economic and industrial issues. So he made the aims and purposes of Dr. Washington, which many in the mace could not at first understand and mainly more openly conceive, the audience that did not accept the interpretations the eloquent speaker was bringing out of the misunderstood alma mater. He was so much so much in his short span of life. Those who had always had faith in Dr. Washington's sincerity of purposes but refused to believe in the wisdom of his policy, listened to his words, and was too truly a Negro in flesh and blood to die without saying what has always been his goal: to grow at all time to say on the question of human rights and privileges among fellowmen.

He himself employed more college graduates of color to try except the American government. It has been my privilege to touch the lives of my family except the American government. It has been my privilege to touch the lives of my family I have never met in contact with an individual whose vision was humanitarian, who hid a BIOSOL SOUL, so unsullied devoted to any cause to which he uncleserved himself, who was self-servicing for the cause of humanity."

Committee—B Glasscock, N G: I H. Snow, E S. THE CAPTAIN OF OUR HOST IS DEAD. Speak gently now, if naught be said. The Captain of our host is dead. The spokesman of ten million souls and seven million souls. And gain to all, the world go-day. And says to all the World to day, "Tuckeage the Sage has passed away" Bring flowers, are the wreath of fame And place around his deathless name. Come, sound again the funeral bell, and hear the story of his wondrous life The story of his wondrous life His lovely birth, his upward strife Recount the battles fought and won The triumphs of our Washington And let the page of marble tell The life he lived, how great, how well And in the minds and hearts of men, May his achievements live again G. W. WILSON 'damden. Ala. BOOKER WASHINGTON. (Life.) Very little is necessary to be said about Booker, Washington. He is the most lasting American who has died in a long time. He never held a political office, never influenced an election that is known of, never yielded to the delusion that salvation comes by votes; but where shall one match in a contemporary career the sum of its investment in thirty-five years for this country! Mourn for Booker Washington! It is to lament that his years were not more, but they sufficed for a prodigious work. PLAINFIELD N I Plainfield, N. J. — Thursday, Thanksgiving day, will long be remembered by those who made the trip to Princeton on the Plainfield Apollo team defeated the Princeton Y. M. C. A. team 12 to 6.

The ball slipped from the hands of the Princeton back and was thrown to the tackle for Plainfield, who after a moment's pause raced through the entire Princeton eleven for a touchdown. Princeton's touchdown was made by many that the touchdown should not have been allowed, as it is said that Dr. Robinson did not touch the ball as was claimed by the up follows. Sumerville, center, Coleman, right guard; James White, right tackle; Moore right tackle; Gibba, left tackle; Simpson right back, Barns, left back; Ehlert left back, Robinson, full back, and A.

(BY LESTER A. WALTON) EARFUL that something might "hapen to the Baltimore" "Afro-American Ledger," which has successively worked itself into a frenzied state over the names given colored shows of to-day, regarded by this esteemed publication as highly objectionable, I deem it my duty, to make a desperate endeavor to calm the mental tornado fiercely raging in the editorial rooms of the Afro-American Ledger; so, to the best of my ability I shall strive to answer the weighty question frantically, propounded in last week's issue of the Afro-American Ledger: "Why the Name?" However, before making further personal comment I shall reproduce the editorial which appeared in the Afro-American Ledger under the caption: "Why the Name?" which follows: Broadway Rastus is the successor to Darkydd and the Darktown Follies in the list of plays by comedians north and middle states. The play promoters evidently feel that there must be some suggestion of low Negro ministry in the advance of the play, and prove attractive to large audiences. It is perfectly true that these shows do not belle their names; they abound in catchy songs, and their virtues depend on tiveness depends on the character of the audience, and scenes in which the simple country Negro and him laughish manage with hilarity wits which make brother. In themselves the music, dance and humor are often worth while and will doubtless find perseverance under the time of me and you, so they exist loosely bound together in the plays above mentioned they serve wholly to amuse and not to injure the chief function of the theatre and the play, which is to lift the audience out of the every-day atmosphere, and point toward a more reason why these plays do not persist, why the musical comedies of Williams and Walker, of Cole and Johnson, and others drew treasures then passed from view, with the men who made them great. Centuries from now manuscripts of such play may prove interesting beginning with prototypes of exiting beginnings. For the promotion they exhibit miniature not for the sake of itself, but for a higher purpose, they will remain tranlational while they might prove an interesting and attractive under different names. The Afro-American Ledger is conducted as a business institution. Its chief object is to make money. Its aim to promote social service is secondary, for unless there is cash on hand in the business office every week the Afro-American Ledger would have little opportunity to champion the cause of the Negro. You can find hundreds of people going about with "wonderful" uplift ideas they would like to propagate, but they are unable to realize their ambition because of inability to get their propositions financed. "And so it is with the theatrical business." The promoter, no matter how lofty his aspirations and ideals along artistic lines, he knows that if he is to succeed in furthering his ideas he must first be must first be practical. One does not realize his aims and objects in a minute, and in any avenue of endeavor one only succeeds after stooping to conquer, after great sacrifice and after biting criticism. "Broadway, Rastus," "Darkydom" and the "Darktown Follies" were the names given three colored shows because the promoters of these attractions found it advisable to do so for business reasons. Booking a show is a most important function. To have a production but no theatres in which to play it is not a very cheering experience, for unless you secure booking it is impossible to put out a show. So when you go to the men who control the theatres and circuits one of the first questions asked is: "What is the name of your show?" Tell him some name that is not distinctly Nero and he will promptly tell you that the public would not know it was a colored show by such a title. And when the manager refers to the public he has in mind white theatregoers, for no colored show can be supported any length of time by colored patronage only. For a number of years colored musical shows have been regarded as an undesirable commodity by theatrical promoters, and the attempts to revive interest in colored attractions have been made by colored men who have lost time and money in their efforts to accomplish what white promoters of money and influence would not consider for one second. The struggles of J. Leubrie Hill are well known to the public, while my recent experience with "Darkydom" in which I secured the leading colored artists of the country and spent hundreds of dollars trying to elevate the colored theatrical professionis yet to be generally learned. As for "Broadway Rautus", I sincerely hope the promot- ers of this company will win out and fool that element of the race, numerically very large, which spends most of the time "knocking" those who have the ternity to take a chance—those who try to do instead of spending time in criticism. The colored musical show of to-day is about as low on the theatrical scale as it was prior to the appearance of Cole — Johnson's "A Trip to Coontown." And although Cole & Johnson and Williams & Walker are lauded by the "Afro-American Ledger" for a "high order of things," these celebrated comedians crawled just as the colored promoters of today are doing before they were able to walk Surely "A Trip to Coontown" is not a more pleasing name to the sensitive "Afro-American Ledger" than "Darktown Follies" or "Darkydom," and it should not be forgotten that Williams & Walker were criticised for using the title—The Sons of Ham." Even the title—Bandana Land"—the best and most profitable colored show ever produced, was obnoxious to some. In later days, with good vehicles, Williams & Walker could have appeared in shows with such titles as "The Bronzed comedians" but before they were "made" they selected such names as "A Trip to Coontown" and "The Sons of Ham." Today there is not a colored comedian outside of Bert Williams, who is a boxoffice attraction, and it is, therefore, necessary for promoters of colored shows to adopt the methods of those who made the theatrical history—by starting at the bottom. It is almost a crime for the "Afro-American Ledger" to assume the role of a severe dramatic critic and show such lamentable ignorance of the theatricals generally. In claiming that it is the duty of the play to lift the audience out of the every day atmosphere, and point toward a higher order of things, it is inferred that such is not the mission of the colored shows of to-day. And yet in speaking of the "Darktown Follies" and "Darkydom" some of the leading white artists praised the artistic efforts of the colored performers in which white performers suffered by comparison. Maybe, in the opinion of the "Afro-American Ledger," there is everything in a name; that you may determine the true character of Lily, Rose and Violet by their respective, appealations, and that Hannah and Clo start out with a handicap, their names reflecting somewhat on their ability to appreciate "a higher order of things." Booker T.. Washington never knew the name of his father and named himself, and yet he would have been a great man had he called himself "Rufus Rastus" which he would have made stand out in bold relief just as he did Booker T. Washington. The saying about, folks in glass houses should not throw stones come to my mind when I think of the heavy hyphenated named under which the Baltimore "Afro-American Ledger" labors. For at this time when the colored population is engaged in a foolish controversy over what we should be called—Negroes, "Afro-Americans or colored people—this one fact should not escape the attention of the "Afro-American Ledger" that many of its readers do not take any too kindly to its name, yet they look upon it as an instrument for good and give it encouragement rather than censure When the colored theatrical public is big enough to support colored shows and the patronage of white theatregoers is not needed, when cities of large colored population, Baltimore in particular, can furnish large theatres under colored management, conditions, then, will be such that the friendly consideration of white managers will not be necessary. But to-day, a colored attraction can get only three weeks consecutive booking in colored houses—the Lafayette Theatre, New York; the Standard Theatre, Philadelphia, and the Howard Theatre, Washington. In Baltimore, with its large Negro population, it has been impossible for a colored show to get a theatre all season. A show cannot thrive of three weeks booking. Therefore, the favor of the white manager with forty-three weeks is necessarily sought. The reason, assigned by the "Afro-American Ledger" as to why the colored show of to-day does not draw large crowds as did Williams & Walker, and Cole & Johnson is absurd. If conditions to-day were the same as seven years ago colored-shows would draw large crowds. Cole & Johnson saw the handwriting on the wall and closed "The Red Moon" with its pretty name, as the movies were even then making great inroads on popular-priced houses. And to-day the movies are now closing the $2 houses throughout the country, New York included. That is the reason big white shows are also failing, among those "Stringbeans," that hypnotic comedian, whose ability to set colored audiences to laughing is well known, is at the Lafayette Theatre this week with his talented little partner—"Sweetie" May. Needless to say, the team is as big a drawing card as ever and create as much merriment as in the past. So much has been said, about "Stringbeans" and his ability to make people laugh in these columns that it would be a-waste of words to dwell at length on this comedian's magnetic prowess. He certainly has a great personality. There were other good things on to be put into the warehouse being the Elsic Janis Company, and Miss Janis is an international star. Charles Dillingham personally, informed me that he took this show off the road after spending $45,000 to produce it. With colored promoters who ingest their money and energy in the production of colored attractions, they enter not blindly into what they do, but they are optimists who look upon the bright side of things and that something will turn up to change conditions for the better. As the Baltimore "Afro-American Ledger" does not take kindly to the names "Broadway Rastus," "Darkydom and Darktown Follies"—perhaps for the benefit of the theatrical profession and the race it is in a position to suggest a number of names which promoters of colored shows may use for both practical and altruistic reasons. The suggestions would be gladly welcomed. BASKETBALL (BY WILL ANTHONY MADEN) Address all communications direct to 269 West 4th street, New York City, and have them in our hands by Monday evening of each week. Before a packed house at Palace Casino Alpha "Big 5" and the Spartan season and after a bitterly contested game "Big 5" wins by the score of 38-21, Glimore, at center, Dash and Wiggins at forwards, Scott and Copers at guards, started the game for Alpha and changed warrants by the line up and Goods and Thorns were sent in. On Friday night, November 26, the Carlton Y. M. C. A. of Brooklyn opened their season at Labor Lyceum with two games: the St. Clyde Cannon and in the main attraction, the Carlton Seniors simply played rings around the Royals of Paterson, N. J., defeating them by a very well-swinging score of 7. It was the most noticeable to me and the very thing which I went to the game to see was the work of the Carlton Srs. team which has always been good in man-made improvements to improve this season. The teamwork they displayed was first class "stuff" and any team at their weight in the team has made improvements in fact from my observations there isn't a colored team, with the exception of the St. Christopher Tigers, that can beat the Carlton or even the St. Christopher weights are even St. Christopher will have its hands full. When this game comes it will be one of the best attractions of the metropolitan district. The Tigers' their forwards are -line and in Peyton the team has a tower of strength and speed. The guard line is also very good with Scott being the beat of the team in vitality and is able to stand off the gait of a full game. Of course they had no serious opposition from the Royals so it remains to be seen what they do, against a team in their own class. . . . On Friday, December 24, the Incorporators will leave for Washington, D.C., where they meet the Cardinal Hiawatha's at Grand Arm Army Hall. A visit from New York is expected to take the trip with the New York boys. . . . The Crescent Reserves won the pre- liminary game by defeating Aberdeen 26-16. The Tiger A. C. basketball team of Yonkers defeated the Business Men's League team of Qasmin, last year's the bill at the Lafayette the first half of the week. "Justice," a sketch, made a hit that it was held over for the second half. One of the best dramatic hits, that has been seen at the Lafayette. Tramps also registered a hit while the Georgia Coyotes presented a snappy singing and dancing act and Thornton & Brown put over their turn effectively. The Carr Sisters opened the bill, doing nicely. The feature of next week's bill will be a big act of ten people, entitled "The Georgia Coyotes" and "Stringbeans," in the principal role. The act is said to be a scream. champions of the Weatchester, County basketball league, by the score of 16 against Yonkers, and by the winning eating throughout, the winner being uncertain until time was called. Chas. Claybourne of Williambridge referred the game. C. McNeil of Yonkers, and B. Allan of Ossining, timers. Dancing was enjoyed after the game. The Tigers play every Saturday evening at Yonkers High Gym, South Broadway, and will gladly welcome all visitors from out of town. The Tigers could like to arrange games and team teams averaging about 140 pounds. Kindly write to the following gentlemen for any further particulars: W. O. Johns, 1228 Noolworth Building, W. O.

Afternoon Game, Manhattan Casino In a blaze of glory at beautiful Manhattan Casino the "Incorporators" opened the basket ball season of 1915-1916. Thanksgiving Day before the largest league in many seasons. It was an ideal day for the game and it seemed as if the weather was made to order. In fact it was regular. Incorporator J. W. was indeed a role of color, for besides the holiday crowd with all its colors, there was a bevy of special ladies selling button-hadges in red and green. Incorporator J. These novel souvenirs and hot cakes most everyone bought one and wore it. Even some of the most rock-bound St. Christopher men falling in line and sporting the colors of the Incorporator's team. The boxes were all filled and the lower floor was packed. Douge furnished some of the best music he has ever given us. The time was perfect. Mr. Incorporator is always engaged for the "Incorporators" affairs. Now a word about the game itself. Imperials (Jorsey champions) were much later, and much later the world champion "In- corporators" made their debut for the lessly and immaculately end. Their new shirts being a pleasure to the eye, one of the best refreshes in the job part of the team was on the job and after the teams warmed up, awhile the sound of his heard and the first big game on. In very short order the "Incorporators" scored two field goals making the count 4-0 in their favor but at this point the imperials tightened up and the Jets were still stand still. To realize how woke a game the Jersey boys were - playing is to know that at one time they were ahead and that the final score of the first half was -11. For some reason we seemed that the "Incorporators" were out of gear. Susitutes for Imperials—Otley, Burrell and Booker. Field goals. goals-Cooper Terkinson, in Terkinson. Accoos, Fou goals.

Oscar, Williams, the colored left tackle of New York University's football team, played his usual star game on Thanksgiving Day when thab institution was trounced by Rutgers 70 to 0. The quickness of Claude Hall, the left end of the Boys High School eleven of Brooklyn, helped to keep down the score of the Manual Training队, the game on Thanksgiving day.

On Thanksgiving day Georgia State College defeated Allen University, of South Carolina at Savannah, Ga., in a hotly contested football game by the 60-yard daah.

The teams played hard throughout the four 15-minute quarters. The A. and T. College team proved to be the superior aggregation, outclassing Bennett College in every department of the game. The teams were about evenly matched in weight, and the edge coming as a result of a better knowledge and execution of forward and lateral passing. In less than five minutes after the first quarter started the A. and T. teams, the first five yards of Bennett's goal, when Jackson look it over for the first touchdown. The other touchdowns were made in the third and fourth quarters. The playing of Epps for Bennett's back page, Jackson and Beasley for the winners, was of a very high order.

BEN DAVIS, ATLANTA'S LEADING COLORED CITIZEN, AND THE GREAT WORK HE IS DOING FOR HIS RACE Under His Leadership the G. U. O. O. F. Has Enjoyed a Most Remarkable Growth. Standing as a monument to the indomitable will and untiring energy for the betterment of his race, the handsome Negro Odd Fellows' building, at the corner of Auburn avenue and Butler street, is a shining example of what pluck, push and courage has accomplished through the person of Ben Davis, a leader among his race, prominent in many Negro business institutions in the city, a leader in fraternal orders, and, altogether, a colored citizen who enjoys the confidence and respect of Atlantans, regardless of race or color. Adjoining the handsome seven-story B.J. DAVIS. ```markdown ``` office building, and occupying all of the block along Auburn avenue extending to Butler street, is the commodious auditorium in which many of the largest gatherings of the colored race of the city have assembled. Without regard to race, creed or color. Ben Davis has won the admiration of every one cognizant of his tremendous efforts to bring about better conditions for his race. Scarcely more than ten years ago the colored Odd Fellows of the State composed a scattering membership of 6,000 individuals, the entire wealth of which was less than $100. But the year 1915 finds a membership of 60,000, and a balance in the treasury of $50,000, and property valued at more than one-half million dollars. All of this was brought about by the untiring efforts of Benjamin Jefferson Davis. Some idea may be obtained of the financial condition of the Odd Fellows' organization through the fact that the real estate holdings in Atlanta alone amount to $500,000, with another $100,000 of wealth scattered throughout the State. The present Odd Fellows' headquarters was erected in 1912. The interior is decorated in a highly commendable fashion and is really a model of cleanliness and sanitary conditions. The main building consists of forty-two offices, six stores, six lodge rooms and a roof garden. The building is seven stories high. The auditorium, which was erected a year later, closely follows the main building, containing eight stores, seventeen offices and a theater with a seating capacity of fifteen hundred. The rental of these two buildings nets the order yearly upward of $9,000. Perhaps the strongest and most substantial feature of the Odd Fellows' organ- Great Auditorium and Odd Fellows Building A Monument to Davis-Biographical Sketch Born in Darsen in the year 1870, Ben Davis passed his childhood under the average conditions of a Negro child of his day. In Ben, however, was born an indomitable desire for knowledge and an ambition to do whatever his hands found to do. He had a longing to do service for his race, friends and country. To satisfy his desire for education he entered Atlanta University, where he took advantage of every opportunity to better his condition, and he never forgets his friends who helped him, Hon. O. B. Stevens, M. J. Yeomans and others. After he left the university, he taught school awhile, then he entered the Government service. Having joined the Order of Odd Fellows at 17 years old, the year he entered Atlanta University, his mother, Katie Davis, kept up his dues while in school. He became a past officer in the Odd Fellows in the year 1891 and a member of the District Grand Lodge in the year 1892. He was elected District ization under the management of Benjamin J. Davis, District Grand Secretary, is the Compulsory Insurance idea; every member being compelled to carry a death benefit of not less than $300 nor more than $500.

He is one of our most useful and helpful citizens. families of the members of the order who heretofore, when death entered their midst, were left in a pitiful and desperate condition. The highest evidence of the regard and confidence with which Ben Davis is held in 1 the State and throughout the South was evidenced by his unanimous re-election at Athens, Ga., in August, as District Grand Secretary for the next two years. To fully realize the work which he is doing for his race and country, not as a master, but as a servant, can best be had by a visit to his place and inspecting the great plant of the Negro Odd Fellows and talking with the man of his ups and downs and his successes. That he has performed his duty faithfully and conscientiously is best read in his achievements. That he is given full credit for his ability and confidence for his integrity by the members of his race, and that his worth and character are fully known and appreciated by the white people throughout the South, are self-evident.
