Tribute to Memory of the Late Dr. H. M. Tupper, Founder and First President of Shaw University--President Meserve's Parting Words. RALEIGH, N. C.-Commencing Sunday, May 7, at 4 o'clock p. m., in the First Baptist Church in this city, Shaw's 1910 commencement was begun by the Rev. C. S. Brown, D.D., who preached the baccalaureate sermon, which served a double purpose in that it was also the beginning of Shaw's celebration of its 100th anniversary. Reference was made to the sermon in The Age last week. Monday, May 8, at 8 o'clock p. m., the musical department presented an Indian operetta, "The Feast of the Red Corn," in two acts. The maidens of the Wanita tribe of Indians once every year repair to a secluded spot to celebrate the feast of the red corn. The one finding the first red ear of corn expresses her wish to the sorceress, who calls upon the Gods of the four Winds to grant her the ear in order to know the welfare of the king, who is at war in the North. The old squaw says no wish will be granted because Impee Light has offended the Four Winds. The maidens wish to burn Impee Light at the stake, but she appeases the Four Winds by rescuming the Queen's children the feast proceeds, the Queen finds the red ear and sees a vision of her King who is alive and well, the foregoing a sketch of the opera's itself as acquiring herself with ease and exhuming remarkable talent in portraying true Indian characteristics. The dresses wore were made of paper and titted tastefully as well as their headgear. These different colors blended harmoniously on the stage with muffled lights to bring about the desired effect. The old squaw which was the star of the play executed her part without a flaw and received repeated encores. The music rendered by her was not only melodious but sounded through Indian girls were rendering it. The city people turned out in large numbers to see this plas. Shaw chapel was taxed to its utmost capacity and many chars' were brought in for use. The price of admission was 25 cents and all present were well pleased. The teachers and the pupils who executed this day have received many compliments. Tuesday, May 9, at 8 o'clock p. m., class day exercises and the Baptist State met in the chapel with the Rev. G. D. Griffin, president, as presiding officer. The meeting was given over to impromptu talks by the members most of whom were alumni of Redemption College. Recognition was given to writing and adopted pledging Shaw University its hearty support in the future as in the past. Alumni Mon Play Ball.

MOUND JAYOU, Miss.—The Senate has recently confirmed President Woodrow Wilson's reappointment of Mrs. Mary Worchelle of Boston as an important postal station, which Ugle Sam rates "A-1," with a unique record among the best of his third-class offices. Although Mr. Booze has only been officially designated postmaster of Mound Bayou, since her first appointment by President, Talt, June 6, 1911, she has nevertheless been a veritable part of the office since its beginning. Mr. Booze is the oldest daughter, I.T. Montgomery, founder of the colony, and has really grown up with the office, beginning with a ten-year-old girl to hand out the mail when the front room of her father's home and a cigar box handled the mail business of the two families and half a dozen laborers then making up the population. Twenty letters a week then big mail. Since her retirement in 2000 letters from through the office in a single day, and hundreds of pieces of mail are worked daily. Figures showing the postal business transacted since Mrs. Booze has been in office are almost $ounting, and a reflection of the business life of the community. Within that short period the amount to $13,123.59; postal savings deposits $2,544; money orders have been paid to the amount of $26,598.30 and $28,201.30 worth have been issued, making in all a total of $480,467.21. Practically one-half million dollars in four years handled by this postoffice of the Negro town of New York, and the number of Mrs. M. C. Booze, the quiet little woman who must be called to the window whenever anyone asks to see the "postmaster." PHIL. WATERS' VOICE FOR FOG HORN SIGNALS (Serviced Two Years, Are.) (Special to THE NEW York ACK.) WHEELING, W. Wa.-At the Republican State convention held here two of the alternate delegates at large elected were C. E. Mithoff of Institute and M. Mithoff of Office of the McDowell Times. Ke石stone, Phil Waters of Charleston, was the reading clerk, and in writing up the convention the Wheeling Intelligencer referred to Mr. Waters as follows: "One of the treats of the state convention hero yesterday was the opportunity to hear the Inimitable Phil Lester, the clerk, in action. Now Phil is one of the best known colored men of the state, and any convention would be amiss without his aid in the transaccentual delegates, in action, delegates and can-spot them on sight. "However, the state may suffer a loss soon. It is the learned that the state thus convention, Phil yesterday heard the voice, and says he may ask his country to call upon Mr. Waters to take the place of the fog horns on the beach along the Atlantic Ocean. Feeling that Phil can speak as loud as the horns can blow, he claims that he would have an inexhaustible supply of water to attend the National convention as assistant doorkeeper." (Special to THE New York Age) PHILADELPHIA, PA - A sensational incident occurred Monday at the A. M. E. general conference when John Lankford, a former Army captain, John Hurst, a dirty scoundrel, and John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the denomination, "a dirty cur," with the added announcement that he could "knock daylight" out of the latter. Hawkins retorted that he would stop Lankford for all time if he assaulted him, and friends stepped between the men. It is said that Lankford, who is an architect with offices in Jacksonville, Fla., wanted to be elected official architect for the denomination. Mr. Hawkins opposed this on the ground that he would make a denomination in lawsuits about salary, even if Lankford did now claim one. Bishop Hurst is also said to have been opposed to making him official architect. Lankford then became angry and used the above quoted remarks NEGRO PASSENGER GOES INSANE AT SEA According to officers of the American Inner Philadelphia, which reached New York Sunday from Liverpool, Mortimer G. Gibson of Washington, D. C., a second cabin passenger returning to the United States, went insane two days out from Liverpool. Early Monday morning, May 8, a chorus of yells threw the second cabin passengers into terror and ship officers found that Gibson, armed with two razors, had become violent. The chief steward was cut on the wrist and the surgeon's boy had his forefinger tread before Gibson could be killed. He was put in a straight pocket and died next day. He was buried at son. Gibson was colorized. Just before he died his insane spell passed and he asked that his mother be notified. "BIRTH OF A NATION" DEFEATS DENVER MAYOR (Special to Tue New York age.) (Special to The New York Age) Denver, Colorado, according to Denver Governor Bill Browne, "Nation" played an important part in the recent municipal election. It is claimed that the Negro vote elected Robert W. Speer as Mayor of the city and put a quietus on such plays as "The Birth of a Nation," despite Republican attempts to hold the vote in line. The Star concludes: "The first skirmish has been won, to make good and keep true his pledged word for law enforcement, greater property, better police protection, and a strictly non-political, non-partisan administration, playing no favorites in the program of action he needs the aid and assistance of every Negro citizen."

In other words I want to make a point for co-operation and importance of the relationship that is coming into existence between us, and above all, to impress upon your minds the great opportunity that is at hand for each of us to do something in the final analysis, the future of the race depends very largely on the conduct of those of us who are now being given an opportunity for advancement. In the state of our country, the state there is a large number of members of our race. This number represents 55.2 per cent. of the total population of the state. For the industrial and religious training of the state there is a large number of high industrial and mechanical college; two theological seminaries; three universities and thirty-three normal and private schools, of the 331,429 of our children that are in our center, of them are in school, which means that there are 170,000 Negro boys and girls in this state that are of school age who are not in attendance of any institution of learning; of the school building; of the school building; who have not had the gospel preached to them.

President Meserve's letter is as follows: Charles Francis Meserve, President Raleigh, N. C., May 10, 1916. Prof. Edward Austin Johnson, Tribune Building, New York, N. X. Dear Sir I write to inform you that at the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees of Shaw University, held at 23 St. Street, New York City, on Thursday, June 15, 2014, the greet of doctor of law was conferred upon you, in recognition of your honorable status in the legal profession, as Dean of the Law Department at Shaw University, your esteptic literary work, your high standing as an influential citizen and your friendship for your Alma Mater. Faithfully yours, CHARLES FRANCIS MESERVE, (Secal) President Shaw University WHITE DENTIST LOCKS St. Louis, Mo.—Because she refused to allow her wife to administer gas or to pay for services when she did not, her wife, earl Johnson, 3136 Pine street, had to be rescued from the office of a white dentist, one Dr. Hutte, at the corner of Market and Jefferson streets. The dentist locked his operating room door, but Mrs. Johnson called for help. Mrs. Johnson, 3020 Laclede avenue, had accustomed herself and was waiting in the reception room. Honoring friend's cries, and finding the door locked, Miss Payne ran outside and telephoned for a police officer. The officer forced Dr. Hutchinson to open his door and release Mrs. Johnson. Mrs. Johnson declined to have the dentist arrested, not wishing to incur the notoriety which would ensue. Five graduate students of reputable dental colleges have been located by the State of Missouri and are practicing their profession in St. Louis. Colored women are never subjected to such humiliating experiences, by professional men of the race. PUT HITE LAWYER OUT OF SEATS FOR COLORED (SPOTTED TO THE NEW YORK ACADEMY) CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.—On a Missionary Ridge car two colored women were deprived of sears in the "colored section" because a white lawyer, had preempted a seat, in violation of the race segregation regulations. One of the women, tired from a hard day's work and indignant at the white lawyer's ignoring of their rights, finally projected herself into the only seat available—thus beheaded by the lawyer's lap. He attempted to rid himself of the burden he possessed as much fighting ability as nerve. After she had left finger-nail marks on the lawyer's face the conductor straightened things out.

ONLY THREE HAVE CABARETS Eight of Eleven Saloon Keepers are Conducting their Businesses on Straight Barroom Basis Without Paid Entertainers. Employees and Patrons are Required to Conform to Certain Rules Which Make for Decency---As a Result, Police Authorities Declare that Little Trouble Is Experienced from Places Run by Negroes. Eleven Negroes conduct saloons in Harlem as compared with fifty-seven white men engaged in the same business. But although the Negro saloons make up 10 per cent. of the total number of harlem saloons keepers they receive barely more than 10 per cent of the saloon trade of that section. The statement has been made by a man familiar with the liquor trade in all its branches that there are considered to be five classes of saloonmen in New York City, these classes being grouped largely by the location of their business places. The saloon keeper in the Wall street section, whose hours are short because of the business hours of his patrons, is melded to look down on the saloon keeper whose business is lower than the 14th street man looks askant at the 42nd street, or "White Light District" man, and all of the downtown saloonmen regard the Harlem saloon keeper as being in an entirely different sphere. And then the Harlem white saloon keeper regards the Negro saloon keeper as an incumbrance and will waddles gladly see him put out of business. He sees him as a careful, impartial and painstaking investigation shows that the Negro saloon keeper is conducting his business with a closer regard for the criminal law than any other city cigarette dealer. The saloon keeper's statement is further substantiated by declarations made by Inspector Ryan of the Harlem precinct who has declared on several occasions that he has less trouble with the colored men running saloons than with any other class of saloons of the city. "emphasized tenfold if comparison is made with the East Side Only Three Have Cabarets Only Three Have Conducted Most of the saloons conducted by Negroes are run on a student barroom, where the saloons are run without cabaret attachments. This applies to at least eight of the eleven. These eight saloons have back rooms in which both male and female are served. But it is conspicuously true that in these back rooms there is a noticeable absence of the "hanger-on" of the female but who is the proprietor, would ply her trade with the unwary male as her victim. As a rule, women are accompanied by male escorts, women are not welcomed to the back rooms of the colored man's saloon. Certainly it cannot be truthfully charged against the saloon men at this time that they lend any encouragement to it unsavvy type of women who in frequented places where men hung out Influences now dominating the city's control of the liquor interests pay particular attention to the conduct of the saloons run by colored men, and infraction of rules laid down for their guidance bring instant penalty. The saloons now owned and conducted by colored men are free from infraction, in contrast which characterized saloons in the past, and which characterize some of the saloons conducted at this time by white men. Most of the eight saloons which have not cabaret attraction have pianos in their back rooms. But these pianos are operated mechanically, the insertion of a coin in a slot setting in operation the mechanism of the pianos. None of the saloons employ performers or entertainers. So that it is only when patrons themselves drop a coin in the slot that the pianos play. Enforce Strict Regulations. Three of the saloons have cabarets in which paid performers entertain the patrons. The cabarets are only open in the afternoon and evening, with a different corps of entertainers for each period. The management of the saloons operating these cabarets have found it necessary to enact and enforce strict rules regarding conduct by the performers. To prevent, as far as possible, the evil of soliciting, women are not allowed to enter unless accompanied by male escorts, and they must leave with the same escort they came in with. As a result, cases of soliciting are very few and women found doing so are thereafter debarred. No dancing is allowed. Men are required to remove their hats, and profane and vulgar language is not allowed to abide by these rules means the instant removal of the offending person and means also that future admittance is denied. There has been a noticeable change in the conduct of performers. Lewd and suggestive songs are not sung, nor is there allowed any unsexy exposure of person while performers are entering. Managers of cabaret were unable to attempt these reforms, fearing that the result would be diminution of patronage. But it has resulted other performers were also afraid that efforts would not be appreciated unless they could appeal to the eager minds of the patrons. They, too, have learned different. As a matter of fact, performers and performers and the chorus applaud high class performers and show the appreciation in substantial form to the greater benefit of the players. The more artistic the sport of the entertainer the larger the monetary financial enolument which comes from the patrons.

The Negro saloon keeper declares that his hardest task now is to secure the patronage of the leading men of the race, the men of influence whose friends and acquaintances follow, as a rule, since they had. Not the constant drinker, says one saloonman, but the man who takes a drink now and then, and who does not lower his dignity by so doing. But this type of man, with hardly an exception, takes his drink, and asks his friends to have a drink, in some white men's saloon. One excuse frequently heard is that the Negro saloon keeper does not serve his customers the same quality of goods as the white men. Whether that is true or not, colored saloon keeper maintains it by declaring that he will pay $10 to any man with can provide the service so far as his salon is concerned. More than that, he says his hartenders have orders, whether the quality of goods served over his bar is questioned, to allow the person so dulling to take the bottle from which he was served and have its contents tested. It his doubt is found to have substantial basis the ten dollar bill is paid over without hesitation. Furthermore, he says, any bartender four-substituting or tampering with the quality of goods is instantly discharged. The Negro saloonman, as a fact, buys his stock from the same wholesaler as the white saloonman. If there is any difference in the quality of the goods the change must be made by the retailer. The colored saloon men declare that they will welcome any investigation, as to their method of handling the stock after it comes from the wholesaler, that is to be put in comparison with the method of the whole saloonman. Investigations conducted by THE ACE during the past three months show that conditions, as regards saloons conducted by colored men, are much better than ever before. The colored saloon keeper, as a matter of fact, is anxious to put his business on a higher plane. Whatever of evil that can now he charged against him is attributable largely to the fact that he is deprived by the aforementioned influential men of the race of a large part of the trade from the race. And this trade, if given to the colored saloon keeper, would enable him to rid his business of all the objectionable elements which he now has to receive and countenance as a part of his clientele.

We have just recently celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of emancipation from physical bondage but it is this rising generation of young men and women who are to make it possible for us to celebrate our industrial economy and intellectual emancipation of the people and shackles of ignorance, vice, crime, disease, inficiency, immorality and superstition; the habit of being content with little when much is desired, such emancipation that will remove the cause for prejudice and oppression that impedes our progress and seems to block our pathway leading toward the realization of our deals in asking for justice for those for whom we are not at the same time impress upon the mind of each individual member the necessity and importance of making himself a character so strong, so true, so honest, so pure, so earnest and so Christlike that there will be no grounds upon which to deny us the freedom and simple justice that is due every man and woman to the freedom and privilege that can possibly reach the highest standard of citizenship. The Influence of Washington. So we are sounding the battle-cry and calling for volunteers to join in this great gigantic warfare: fight for better farms, better homes, health and better sanitary conditions, better churches, better schools, and longer school terms, less crime, a higher reward for law and order; in a word a NEW SOUTH. The celebration of the fifty years of our physical freedom re-enacted achievements read like a veritable fairy tale. Never before in the history of the world has a race of people made such progress in the "agree" length of time under similar conditions and circumstances—in the direction of farming, mechanical art, business, and as physicians and musicians. Not a audience nor a profession but that has its quota of shining lights from among the members of our race. This progress is a result of patient, sympathetic co-operation of the best white people of the nation, both North and South. A record of which we should be proud. We must not, we cannot stop here. Another fifty years are stretching ut before us. These are your fifty years of achievement. Elevements that will mark the 100th anniversary of our progress. In an ef- 19 Prescott St. Jersey City, N.

No one has a right to live his life selflessly. It is incumbent upon us all to so order our lives that our influence may be for the highest good—the advancement of the use of our knowledge, the greatest of our leaders who so recently passed from our midst—the late lamented Booker T. Washington, known and reverenced all over the world as tar as civilization has touched mankind, his name a household word among all the people—his brilliant power, his sterling worth, recognized alike by high and low. He gave his life for the ideal he beholded. He knew that physician could meditate the strenuous call of his wide associations, yet he never faltered. He went over the length and breadth of the land, urging, teaching and preaching. "The Future of the Negro," and carrying in his mind always the endless details of the great educational center which he founded. He was always in closest touch with every student, every teacher and every detail of his life. The greatest call of his mind; yet he one great throbbing vital thought. How can I Further the Interests of the Race burned in his heart day and night. To that ideal, set by him in his youth, he sacrificed a glorious life. That his career was nearly at an end, that he must soon leave to other hands the cure of his life's work, that his race was nearly run, was clearly known to him and yet he was beave enough to say simply. I was born to Soon I have lived all my life in the South I want to die and be buried in the South" What loyalty, what simplicity, what victory? From an humble slave boy, on a Virginia plantation to the point where he was recognized by all civilized nations of the earth as one of the greatest benefactors to mankind in the history of this nation, as well as the Afro-American Moses of the twentieth century. Is not this example sufficient to dispel all doubt as to the possibilities and capabilities of the Nerox and at the same time inspire in all of our hearts the determination to spend our lives forward in every way possible, that this great leader set in motion* Miiss Elizabeth Wright. In 1897, burning with his spirit of inspiration, together with her own love for humanity, and desire to serve her people, the noble founder of this institution, Miss Elizabeth E. Wright, who was a graduate of Tuskegee University and a work that has given her a place among the leading educators of this state as well as one of the foremost women of her race. Under the most discouraging conditions, in the left of a little frame sharply, with fourteen students, Miss Wright founded the institution which now sage, despite the many signations she made, to uphold a higher standard of intelligence, honesty and morality, encourage thrift, industry and sorrow, she littered year 1897, with no regard of recompense in the form of salary. Because of her trust of unselfishness, she was able to instill which will forever stand as a monument to her memory. Because of the service that she rendered mankind, generations yet unborn, are to rise up and call her blessed. The influence of her life and work shall live as long as anybody gives to the world new opportunities in proportion as it follows out the spirit of the teaching of this great woman—the spirit of unselfishness. It is not reasonable to suppose that there are other Booker T. Washington and Elizabeth E. Wrights to be found in the 1750s of our boys and girls in his state who are still in darkness. Then it is our duty to find them. I have been chosen as your principal. I cannot tell you how seriously I realize the important trust and responsibility this position imposes upon me, entering upon the duties, of this office. I do so with a spirit of humility and responsibility, and I cannot describe Realizing as I do that this is not a time for personal ambition. I come not destroy not even to fulfill in the absolute I come to help fulfill, to join with the forces here concentrated—the trustees, the graduates who have done so much and graduates who have done so much to make this school a success. I am sure that each and every student among you is anxious that this school should reach the greatest development possible, that it should become an important and well known factor in educational circles, and that is where I most heartily need your cooperation. I hope that every student in this school has an important and social responsibility in assisting the faculty in every way possible, by earnest application to the various subjects chosen or assigned. To bring the scholastic tone of the school up to the highest degree of efficiency, we must also maintain the same high degree of discipline, religion and morality. Let us make every effort to so conduct this work, so that we are a YOORHEES GRADUATE a YOORHEES STUDENT, the name will stand for all that is best in student life. The principal cannot, nor can the faculty bring this result to pass. It is distinctly the responsibility of each individual student. Nothing KINKY HAIR Atlanta, Ga. Exelento Med. Co. Oceanside.

WALKER In wri counts more for the permanent advancement of an educational institution than the unquestioned loyalty of its students to their Alma Mater. Naturally, considerable stress is laid upon the pursuance of the various courses mapped out in the school curriculum, and too much stress cannot be imposed in importance on selection of studies and a close application to a mastery of them, but we must bear in mind the importance of being good common-sense individuals. President Lincoln was one asked how long a man's legs should be. The emancipator instantly replied, that a man's legs should be long enough to reach from his body to the ground. The emancipator's companion man is built, though his head may be in the air, his feet are firmly planted on the ground. We will show our common-sense in proportion as we respect the dignity and the beauty of all kinds of labor and abhor the dissure of illness. properly to the skill of ordinary occupation of life, in order to deny them, make them more attractive, and hence more productive. The world is calling for efficiency. Let us make up our minds to do what we can be called upon, so well that it will be impossible for any one to improve upon it, under the circumstances, whether it be cooking sewing, laundering, blacksmithing farming, conducting a business, teaching or preaching. Let us be sure that we as well or better than anybody else. Menafee's Work Mr Monafee, who has been with Mr. Menafee since slow was the pace whose painstaking efforts whose love of humanity whose personal rift and labor, whose faith in the race and whose unselfish service has kept this institution intact in progress since the birth of the founder who came here to preserve more tools and instruments, has made it that its efforts here would not have been for the most graduate patient counsel of his school of trustees, composed of men and women of both races north and south and the sympathetic cooperation of his faculty, the unquestioned loyalty of his students and graduates of the citizens of the nation, who have never failed him in the hour of need. He assures me further that notwithstanding the fact that Judge George W. Kelley of Rockland, Mass who is the president of the board of trustees, and Mrs. and Mrs. Joseph of Clinton, and Mrs. and Mrs. Joseph of Clinton, have manifested an interest in the institution from its very beginning, no person has been more loyal to the school and more constant in the safeguarding of its interest than Senator M. Mayfield who was born in the south and educated in the south and has all his life in the south. Mr M may have manifested an interest in the school of your assistance in the direction to which I have referred, been more necessary to its progress than now. No time in the history of my race in this country lies in the need the encouragement in the way of moral and financial support in the management of our educational institutions from the just scratched the surface in the matter of Negro Education. If we are going to do our part in this direction, we must do it during this generation, as we shall not have the opportunity in the next generation. With the diplomatic relation between the United States and India, and between this country and this nation, the thread of circumstances, it seems that the time may come when the whitman may need the Negro. Let us not forget that the regiment leading the chase after Villa, the Mexican bandit, through the mountains of Mexico, is composed of black men. No people occupy space apart American soil is more ready to die than the nation's more ready to die the nation's honor than the Negro. There are 120,000 of our population in this state, upon whom we cannot depend to defend us against an invasion, because they do not know the meaning of patriotism of citizenship.

Promptly at the hour designated, the student body, headed by President C. F.

Music "Hairy Demonstration by Miss Hattie Jacke" (A small miniature wooden house was placed upon a table on the rostrum. Miss Jackson, in a clear voice that was heard by all gave the economic points on how to furnish and keep clean any humble home. This was a departure from the usual college programs, and well so, because of the many good and useful suggestions given. At the conclusion of the course, the last chapter of Music by the College, Brass Band was rendered. Dr Monta Rivera, the bandmaster, demonstrated clearly his rare ability as a teacher of band music by the melodious sounds of music produced by his pupils as well as hiself, so much so, that for a short period in tumultuous applause, and to quiet it, Dr. Rivera's band had to repeat the dumber. Dr. C. F. Merserve said: "This is no tired band. They are all students of Shaw University." Shaw University has done much toward promoting good feeling between the two races in the South. Dr. Mossere who has been president of the university who deserves much praise for his uniting efforts to guide young colored men and young colored women into those paths of moral and intellectual as well as industrial spheres as well as for them better man and better woman. The above message was supplemented by the Rew of D. Griffith, president of Baptist's Convent, who addressed the graduating class and the college women in his speech. He said in part, "These ladies is witness, the fact that we have committed a series of studies to the preparation of the college. In other words, we are prepared to commence your life's work. I warn you to guard well your footsteps. Ever be mindful your plight in the life of Jesus. Make Jesus like Christian lives. Be servileable men and women in church and state. I speak from experience when I tell you that it is no easy task to induce educated young men and women to enter withlifts, into Sunday School work and Church work. This you should do will help you to be well prepared to shall at all times that the good situations this college has striven to give you." President's Parting Words. Dr C F Messner's parting words to the graduating class sounded 'the has is here right tradition and precedent to-day business achievement or regret.' Parents Are Your Children IDLE?

His devotion to the uplift of the colored people in the hardships he underwent in braving the storm of abuse, astracism, on while doing missionary work among the colored people, at a time when lappers in this field of work were few. His devotion to his devout wife who his troubled husband these trying years cheered him as a devoted wife will do even unto death. There were many grayheaded colored men present at the memorial service who expressed words of praise and admiration to his man.

It is characteristic of human nature wierely to take for granted the things that are vital. For instance, we take no thought of the air, yet if we were deprived of it for only a few moments, we should die, So with mother love; we know it is there, we khow it is con- stant, steadiast and eternal, yet, too often, we take no thought of it. Like the air, we breathe it, we enjoy it, we live by ‘it, while merely taking it for granted. ee 2 . es “ There ate not many young people who would be intentionally ynkind to Mother but, oh, how miany there are who are thoughtlessly so! You would not stab your mother with a kyife, would you?.But do you know you sometimes stab hee with a word that is sharper than a knife. A The setting aside’of a day in, honor of Mother is 2 beautiful thing. If the observation of the day will serve to make us more mindful of her, the result will be greater good and happiness than come from the observance of all other holidays combined- On Néw Year's day it is customary to make ,resolutions. We make negative resolutions. We resolve to quit this and quit that. hMen swear off smoking, they-swear off drinking, and they swear off swearing. What women swear off, 1 do not know. But let us on Mother's Day make a positive resolution. Suppose we resolve to try and give back to-Mather just one-one-hundredth part of the love, the tenderness, the patience, and the care which she has so freely given. , e : And no people in the world hafe greater reason for making such ‘a resolve than we. For no!mothers on earth have worked more. have sacrificed more, have wept’ more, have suffered more, to give their children’ what they ehemselves were denied, than the colored mothers of America. . The observance of Mother's Day should not only make us morc thoughtful of Mother, but should:also make us more thoughtful of all womankind, for Mother's sake. This thought lias been so won- derfully expressed in the lines written by John Masefield: to his Hong dead mother than I quote them here: . “In the dark womb where I began My mother's life made me a man. Through all the nronths of human birth Her beauty-fed my common earth. * I cannot see, nor breathe, nor stir But through the death of some of her. Down in the darkness of the grave ‘She cannot sce the life she gave. : For all her love, she cannot tell Whether I-use it ill or well, - Nor'knock at dusty doors to-find =o Her beauty dusty in my mind. : If the grave’s gates could be undone, She would not know. her little son, 2 * Iam so grown. If we should meet She would pass by me on the street, Unless my soul's face let her see My sense of what she did for me. : What have I done to Keep i mind My debt to her and womankind? What woman's happier life repays. Her for those months of wretched days? For all my mouthiess body leeched Ere birth’s releasing hell was reached? "What have I done, or tried, or said 7 In thanks to that dear woman dead? ‘Men triumph over women still, Men trample women's Tights at will, ‘And man’s lust roves the world untamed, Ovgrave, keep shot'lest I be shamed. The observance of Mother's Day will make us moré thoughtful of Mother, but it will not enable ys to understand Mother Love; for it i$ a love that passes all understanding. We only know that we cannot go so far, or rise so high, or fall so low as to be beyond the love of Mother. We only know that whatever disappointment, what- ever grief, whatever disgrace, whatever shame, whatever calamity life may hold; we only know that when all others may turn away and forsake us, there is always one place where we can find sym- pathy,” consolation and love: in ‘Mother's heart. Mother Love is too transcendental a thought for prose. Poetry is the only medium through which it can be expressed; and no where has the height; the depth, the space, the eternity, the wonder of it been bettér sung than in Kipling’s simple and sincere pom, “Mother o’ Mine.” This pocm is shorter than the one by Maseficld, and may be easily committed to niemory. I reproduce-it here for that pur- pose; its lines shotild be known by every boy and every young, man: If I were hanged on the highest hill, -~- -—- . . Mother 0’ ming, O imother 0’ mine! ° 5 . I know whose love would follow me still, Mother 0’ mine; 0. mother o° mine} : If 1 were drowned in the deepest sea, ‘ Mother o' mine,-O mother o' mine! a . # I know whose tears would come down to me, - Mother o' ‘mine, O riother o' mine! i If 1 were damned of body and soul, ~ I know whose prayers would make me whole, af Mother o' mine, O mother o! mine! ; Be moré thoughtful of Mother. Honor her, treasure her, and do something to make her happier. THE TEXT AND THE CONTEXT. n old story of an old fashioned preache: to the style of dressing the hair that ies in his day.

So one Sunday he astonished his flock by taking as the text for his sermon the féllowing words, “Top-knot, come down!”. When asked where he got his biblicab authority ier suey text, he cited the verse which reads, “Let him which is on the tae! mot come down * * *” «© rte Fe as ‘There is a striking similarity between, the old preacher's text and the President's reply to the German note. The President accepts. a: tauch of.the German note as pleases him and the rest of it he discards The main clause of his answer to the Kaiser is.as follows: Accepting the Imperial Government's declaration of its . abandonment of the policy which-has so seriously menaced the good relations between the two countries, the Government of the | United “States will rely upon a scrupulous execgtion henceforth "of the now altered policy of the Imperial-Government, such as | will remove the principal danger tqcan interruption of the good =~ relations existing between the United States,ind’ Germany. As a matter of fact, there was nothing in Germany's note to indi cate an abandonment of her submarine policy. There was a modifi cation; which, however, itt the last analysis amounts to very little ‘The contention of this Government was that the submarine is ar instrument of war which cannot be used against merchant vessel: in accordance with international Jaw and the principles of humanity Germany made the concession that hereafter her submarine com manders will not sink merchant vessels without warning, unless re sistance or escape is attempted. ue What difference will it make if the submarine does warn the ves sel before sinking her?’ Or even if it gives those on board time tc scramble into small boats on an open sea? It might be equally hu mane to sink her at once. Furthermore, these new orders leave th submarine commander the sole judge as to whether or not resistane lor escape is attempted. ¥ z RENN SES ee ee en aR Re CR aE Lg = The'Government of the United States feels it necessary to state that it takes it for granted that the Imperial German Gov ernment does not intead to imply that the maintenance of its newly announced policy is in any way contingent upon the course or result of diplomatic negotiations between the Government of €& the United States and any other belligerent Government, not;- withstanding.the fact that certain passages in the Imperial Gov- 3 ernment’s note of-the fourth instant might appear to be suscep- tible of that construction. * a * Why the United States should take for granted the contrary of what Germany states in plain, direct and unequiocal terms, we do not know, The’German Government. after stating that it expected the United States, in consequence of the new orders issued, zo demand and insist that the British Government observe the rules of inter- national law, concluded its note with these words: > Should thé: steps taken by the Government of the United States not attain the object it desires—to have the laws of . humanity followed by all-belligerent nations—the German Gov- ernment would then-be facing a new situation in which it must reserve to itself camplete liberty of decision. |. It seems almost childish to say these words “might appear to be susceptible” of the construction that Germany means that the United States must pring England to time or she (Germany). will reserve to herself the right.to do what-sh®considérs best for her own inter- ests. They-mean that and nothing less. -Even though the President pretends to ignore that part of the German note which calls upon this Government to démand of Egg. lafid strict observance of the rules of international law, there is 8 doubt tliat hewwill be forced to protest against British violations. The policy of England in seizing American ships, opening United States mail, interfering with Our trade with‘the neutral countries of northern Europe; her prohibition of our sending non-contraband goods, even Red Cross supplies, to Germany, and her avowed pur- post of starving German women and children, all of these acts with: out any strong protest on the part of the United States have begun to create a sentiment in this country that we are not neutral, but anti= German. +Ii there is not now-made an effective protest to England, that ‘sentiment will increase and arouse sympathy for the German allies; REMEDY FOR LYNCHING. The letter on Ienching reproduced in a recent issue of The Age was‘ one to provoke serious thought on that question. The writer oi the letter reviewed the record oi lynching for 1915 and showed that out of 98 persons lynched during the year, only 9 were even accused of rape. : But this is no new story. For a good many years now, the charge of rape as a justification of lynchingshas been the rare exéep- tion. In the lynch law states, the saviours of Anglo-Saxon virtue have been busy lynching Negroes’ for murder, for alleged murder, for theft, for poisoning mules, and for being impudent to white men. The writer of the letter suggested interference by the Federal Goverment as the only remedy, and we believe he is right. A’ Fed- cral constabulary, not influenced by local politics or fear of local verigeance might be able to enforce the law. A similar duty falls on those men in the Revenue Service who run down moonshiners ; this work Would never be carried out by local police officers -Of course, there arises the question, of constitutionality; but when a state show's that it is powerless to execute the law in the pro- tection of the constitutional rights of citizens of the United States there is good reason: to amend’the Constitution so as to give ‘the Federal Government the authority to do so.: It seems to be more reasonable that the United States Government should have the au- thority to step in where anarchy exists within its own borders, and protect its citizens than to have the authority to do so in Haiti and Mexico and China. i INTEMPERATE SOLDIERS. ~— _ At the General Conference being held in Saratoga a resolution was. introduced by Herbert B. Johnson of California, who réquestec the conference to adopt a memorial to Congress asking that a ban be put on the export of liquors to the Hawaiian Islands. The preamble of the resolution contained the assertion that suct action-was necessary because of an “increasing numberof American soldiers, among whom unspeakable carousals have taken place on account-of the use of intoxicants.” : ‘ Ss |} Mr. Appleton Bash and others responded with a vigorous defense ‘of the conduct of United States soldiers, In the discussion it was Mprought out that the soldiers referred to in the resolution were col- lored soldiers, This brought a spirited spcech from Elam A.

Without in the least condoning intemperance in the army, we, nevertheless, canriot’help but wonder what kind Gf men some people expect soldiers to be: ° . A WORTHY CANDIDATE. |New Jersey.

The responsibilities devdlving upon those entitled to a voice and vote in that assemblage will therefore -be the greater. It will be up to these representatives of the race to so marshal theif forces as to make their influence elt to-the betterment of the politi- ‘cal status of the people behind them. No political barter nor dickéring should be, permitted to interfere with the (Wal issues that concern the race’ in its struggles to regain its footing on the broad plane of po- litical equality.

In the conflicting demands of party success and per- sonal interests, the broader issues oi manhood rights and equal repre- sentation should not be lost sight of.

The Philadeiphia Tribune, a newspa- per edited by colored men. prints a picture of one of these soldiers over ste caption, “The flag he is . fighting to protect’ does not pro- ecg bis ith or Kin.” What are these. goldiers to, say to the, news from ‘Waco, as they are told that they must°risk their lives to de- stroy those oF the Mexican ban- dits? Wha: are they to say when they learn tha: Congress. while increasing the army by more thart 100 per cént.. is not providing for a single additional colored reji- “ment, and the War Department holds that it cannot designate one to be cothposed of: colored sol- diers without Congresstonal az- thority? They know that the four colored regiments are filled to overflowing, that thet are the casiest regimemts to recruit; that the effort to recruit white soldiers is almost a failure; that ‘their rec- ord as soldiers proves them to be of the best material_the United States has. What- are they to | think ofall of this and of the fact that the South's opposition to a Federal volunteer army 3s in part due to its refusal to permit col- ored men to serve in the militia? Only that theirs is itdeed an anomalous status and tat, like Tommy Atkins in England, this country has no use for them save when the band begins to play and te troopship’s on the tide We heartily. concur with the Evening Post in all that it says with one exception. We do no relieve it would be an easy mat er for the United States Govern. nent to recruig new colored resi nents for the regular army at thi ime. Not that. the Negro ha: rrown less patriotic, but because wmerous reports of the mistreat- nent of colored soldiers stationed n the Philippines and even in the United States have been widely ‘irculated during the Wilson Ad. ninisteation.

N., Instead of regular commencement exercises, the Bordentown School will hold an "Open Day" on Friday afternoon, May 26, when the public will have an opportunity to examine equipment of the school and work with the students and to become familiar with the beautiful location; Various boots about the grounds will dispense food and refreshments at a minimum cost, and at 2 o'clock the school chorus will entertain with This will be a splendid opportunity for the people of the State to see the plant which the State of New Jersey is furnishing to meet the educational needs of the colored people. For its improvement and enlargement the last legislature appropriated $96,500, the largest sum ever given the school in one year. Principal Valentine announces that the spring term closes May 29, and that a special feature will be made of the summer school which will run from June 6 to August 29. The work of the summer school will be very much as that of the regular term, only that it will contain considerably more individual instruction. This will advance each pupil as fast as possible and strengthen where he is weak. Public school students over 14 years of age may avail themselves of this summer course, and thus be prepared to take an advanced grade at the fall term of the public schools. The summer school is open to all students, whether they enter the fall term at Bordentown or not. The delightful situation of the school and its pleasant surroundings will make it an ideal place for students during the summer, at the same time removing them from the temptation and allurement of city streets during the long vacation. BOY SCOUTS MAY SPLIT OVER COLOR NATURE M. M. -- Strenuous objections have been raised by local Boy Squats (white) in protesting against an order for national headquarters of the Boy Squats, which seeks to permit the organization of a troop of colored Boy Squats here. The son of a local physician has taken up the matter of organizing the colored boys and white Scouts declare that it is the national organization grants the colored boys a charter they will withdraw. Indications point that the charter will be granted and it is reported that agitation has already been started looking to the organization of the "Southern Boy Scouts," with headquarters here, to embrace all the Southern States. It is said that Southern men of influence and wealth will probably give their support to the new organization if a charter is granted the colored boys.

IN THE AGE last week editorial reference was made to the fact that the Negro encounters less prejudice in the realms of Art thanin any other line of endeavor. The Contributing Editor cited the fact that at the formal opening of the new Duval county armory at Jacksonville, Fla., the principal feature was the singing of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast," with Solon Drukenniller, a favorite Southern singer, rendering the solo, "Onaway, Awake, Beloved." It was the first time that Coleridge-Taylor's music had been sung in Florida. A chord of seventy-five, composed of Southern women and men, sang the cantata. The fact that Coleridge-Taylor was a Negro had nothing to do with the selection of his work for this occasion. It was the excellence of his work that influenced its selection. And it is only excellence of work that will open the door of opportunity to the deserving artists of the race. This incident brings to mind some recent developments in the musical world which affect the race. Reference has already been made to the fact that at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York City, there was given this season the premiere of the Spanish opera, "Goyescas," music by Enrique Granados. The original text in Spanish was written by Fernando Periquet, and the English translation was made by James Weldon Johnson, contributing editor of THE ACE. The Metropolitan is the home of. grand opera, and the Metropolitan Opera Company is composed of the greatest artists to be found in the world. It was the first time in the history of the Metropolitan that an opera was sung with which a Negro had anything to do. Mr. Johnson's translation of the text was so completely satisfactory to Senor Perique that an exclusive contract has been entered into by the terms of which Mr. Johnson is to translate into English all of Senor Periquet's works. The translation of "Goyescas" was under an agreement with the music publishing house of G. Schirmer, New York. Another Negro who has passed beyond the prejudicial bounds set by racial limitations is Harry T. Burleigh. Mr. Burleigh has long enjoyed a reputation as one of the leading singers of the country, without regard to color, and he has for many years been engaged as bartone soloist in the choirs of some of the wealthiest white congregations in New York. He was a favorite with the late J. Pierrepont Morgan, who was a restroom in the church where his Burleigh sings, and it was Mr. Morgan's special desire that Mr. Burleigh sing at his funeral. This Mr. Burleigh As a composer, Mr. Burleigh has long held a high place. His songs hold a place in the repertoire of many of the most successful singers in the country. One of the most popular songs ever heard from the American concert stage was Burleigh's "Jean," and "age has not withered, nor custom staled" its wonderful beauty. But of recent years he has entered upon a new field. Attracted by the art-song, a study of its beauties tempted him and he has made its creation his task of love. During the past two years he has given to the music world some compositions that are surpassingly great. It is not possible to catalogue all of his productions, but a few demand and must have place Early in 1915, from the press of G. Ricordi & Co., New York, there came several groups of songs, one of five to poems by Laurence Hope; a cycle of "Saracen Songs," lyrics by Fred G. Bowles; and "Passionale," a group of four songs, poems by James Weldon Johnson, The "Passionale" included "The Glory of the Day Was in Her Face," which has been sung in New York by Roland Hayes of Boston, the foremost tenor of the Negro race; "Her Eyes Twin Pools," "Your Eyes So Deep," and "Your Lips Are Wine." At a recent recital, John McCormack, who is to the white concert audiences what Caruso is to the grand opera loyers, created a sensation by his rendering of a group of Mr. Burleigh's songs. The latter part of February saw a large and brilliant audience assembled at the Hotel Biltmore, the occasion being an Italian War Benefit under the patronage of the Queen of Italy and under the auspices of the Italian Ambassador and Countess Dolores Macchi di Allere, proceeds going to the Italo-American Relief Committee for war sufferers. Among the artists taking part was Pasquale Amato, of the Metropolitan Opera Company. In the New York Tribune, the next morning, the following comment appeared: An interesting feature was the singing by Mr. Amato of an Italian patriotic song written by an American Negro. This was Harry T. Burleigh's "Il Giomone Guerriero" and it proved to be the sensation of the evening. It was a splendidly spirited martial song, and ought to thrill many an Italian crowd in after years. That an American Negro could write such a song seems strange indeed. It is one of the few really admirable songs America has produced in recent DRAMATICS AND ATHLETICS years. All honor to Harry T. Burleigh! This song was originally written in English, title, "The Young Warrior," poem by James Weldon Johnson. The Italian translation is by Eduardo Petri. The first five months of 1916 have been fruitful ones for Mr. Burleigh's genius. Besides "The Young Warrior," there are "The Grey Wolf," "The Prayer," "By the Pool at the Third Rosses," and "Memory," lyrics by Arthur Symons; "Ethiopia Saluting the Colors," a setting of Walt Whitman's poem; and "One Year," words by Margaret M. Harlan. Referring to "Ethiopia Saluting the Colors" in particular, and "The Prayer," "Memory," "The Young Warrior," and "The Grey Wolf" in general, A. W. Kramer, in *Musical America*, wrote as follows: "No composer in this or, in fact, any other country is as well equipped to set the magnificent Whitman lines as Mr. Burleigh. The entire atmosphere of the poem is reproduced in music that is not only fitting, but that tells the story of the Ethiopian woman and her conversation with the general, as no words can. He has brought into play two melodies which seem to be authentic Negro tunes, and has employed in a most dextrous manner bits of "Marching Through Georgia." The song is symphonically developed. Notable is the big recitative and the final Moderato sentito. There are not a hundred pages by this country's composers that can rank with this final section beginning "Are the things so strange." The three Symons settings are tremendous. War-time brings war-songs and Mr. Burleigh has written a mighty good one. "The Young Warrior" is built on a martial motif, reiterated throughout the song. It has dignity and yet has something in it that will make it very popular. Into the song Mr. Burleigh has worked the first two measures of "My Country, Tis of Thee," in four-four time, however, in a choral-like manner, with surprisingly fine effect. The declaratory resitative, "Mother, the lines are drawn," is splendid and the song closes with a great climax. Such a set of songs as they can only have just recognition if concert-singers will take the trouble to investigate them. They are not ordinary songs that can be sung through and admired without further, acquaintance. They must be studied; but they are worth all the time a singer can give them for melodically and harmonically they are strong, individual and muscianly, the expression of one of the most gifted composers of art-songs living to-day." In addition to his work as a singer and composer, Mr. Burleigh has done much as a teacher. He has had as pupils members of the most prominent families of the city, but increased demands of his new work has necessitated a curtailment of teaching duties. Few colored pupils have been able to pay the price of lessons from Mr. Burleigh, and this is unfortunate. It would be a great thing for the race if there could be raised up art of the race whose development and training were the result of instructions received from the master musician of the race. Mr. Burleigh is under contract to G. Ricordi & Co. I understand, and has supervision of some department of that publisher's output, and so there is not now even the time he formerly had to give to imparting a knowledge of music and its magic to embryo artists. Just a few days ago an ambitious student came up from the Southland, after corresponding with Mr. Burleigh, hoping to study with him, but after reaching New York she had to secure another teacher as he was too busy to accept her as a pupil. MARTIN PUPILS' RECITAL. More than two thousand people were present at Manhattan Casino on Friday evening, May 12, on the occasion of the ninth annual recital of the pupils of David Irwin Martin, head of the Martin-Smith Music School, at 139 W. 10th street.

NYACK THEATRE MAN LOSES DAMAGE SUIT N.Y.C. N.Y.-Mack Grant and Fred Rogers, waiters at the Hotel St George, were refused seats at the Broadway Theatre because of their color. Suit was brought against Michael Mirabel, lessee and proprietor, in the Rockland Supreme Court, each man suing for $500 damages, with Frank Comesky as their lawyer. Grant attempted to buy seats on January 4, but the manager refused to sell them to him at the regular price, 15 cents, but offered to let him have them at $5 apiece. Grant was accompanied by two friends. Rogers attempted to buy seats on January 3, but he was absolutely refused, the manager asserting he would not sell him tickets because of his color. Rogers was accompanied by one friend. Grant's suit came up for trial Friday, May 12, before a jury and Judge Tompkins, and after three hours deliberation the jury returned a verdict in Grant's favor for $100. Rogers' suit went over until the June term. GIRL WINS DAMAGES FROM THEATRE PEOPLE PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—In Common Pleas No. I, before Judge Schumacker, a jury awarded damages to Mrs. Warren N.

AT THE NEW LINCOLN. After the 1st performance on Saturday evening next, the members of the Lincoln Stock company will betake themselves to their favorite haunts of rest, and it goes without saying, a little change of work will prove a recreation to the hard worked actors and actresses, who presented a different play each week for nearly five months. The Lincoln patrons who have been delighted with their pleasing efforts during the past winter will always retain fond memories of them. Harlem audiences are generous and they will always bear in mind that it was the Lincoln Players who first essayed to give them their first taste of the drama, presented by an exclusive colored cast. Burr McIntosh, the eminent dramatic star, will appear at the Lincoln Theatre Sunday, May 21, in Bartley Campbell's great Western play, "My Partner," which photo production in conjunction with Little Mary Pickford, in "Fanchon, the Cricket," will comprise the opening bill that inaugurates the new Broadway policy of superior photoplayouts at the cosy little playhouse for the coming summer months. Sporting Notes (BY ALEXANDER WATERS) PUGILISM At the Vanderbilt A. C. on the last Monday night before one of the largest crowds the club has ever had, Charlie Smith, better known as "Stuffy, and one of the best boys at his weight in the world, white or colored, and also the Pride of Brooklyn," met Eddie Dorsely of Northampton, Mass., the boy who came here with quite a reputation and also a newspaper, decision over Leo Johnson, in the star bout of the evening. After the first round, which went to Dorsely by a wide margin, there was little to choose between the two fighters. Smith improved as the bout went on, and at the end of the tenth round he was doing most all the fighting. Mr. Dorsely will have to show more class than he did last night to convince the public that the newspaper decision he holds over Johnson is O. K. Weights were Smith, 144, Dorsely, 142 The other ten-round bout between Darkey Griffin and Sailor Burton came to an abrupt end in the fourth round, when McAoy, the referee, stopped the bout and awarded the fight to Griffin LEO JOHNSON on a foul, after Burton had fouled him about four times. Burton had up to this time the reputation of being one of the cleanest fighters in the ring, but last night he seemed to be anxious to lose the bout or a foul. He continued to foul Griffin even after being cautioned several times by the referee. Griffin had every round up to the time the bout was stopped. Weights. Griffin, 124; Burton, 125. In the seminal bout of the evening Kal Bennett of New York had all the best of Photo of Brooklyn. At Vanderbilt A C next Monday evening the star bout will bring together two of the best boys fighting in the world at their weights—Leo Johnson, col red lightweight champion of the world, and Young Hicks, colored wetterweight champion of the world. This bout will be 10 rounds, and from the applause when this bout was announced and the showing these two boys made in their last bout at this club, the night tans had better come early to avoid the rush. The managers have posted with the club a forfeit of $150 that both boys will enter the ring at the required weights—Hicks at 140, Johnson 135, ringside. * There will be also two six-round bouts and three four-round bouts on that evening. Manager Ferriebe, the man who has made many a colored fighter, and who has now one of the best bantam-weight in the world, George Basden, journeyed up to Northampton, Mass., on Tuesday last with his boy. Basden showed the people up there that he is not overrated by fighting a twelve-round draw at the Meadow City A. C. with Young Wagner, the toughest boy at the bantam weight in the world. Ferribe announces through these columns that he is willing to match Basden with any boy at his weight in the world, white or colored. Harlem Sporting Club on Friday night will have an all-star colored show, two ten-round bouts and one six-round semi-final. First, Kid Cotton, formerly the sparring partner of Jack Johnson, and Rough House Ware, the sparring partner of Harry Wills. Second, Wee Barton, who meets DeKnight of Brooklyn. BASEBALL.

Church, Sunday night, the Rev. Dr. W. Spencer Carpenter attacked the minister of the V. M. E. general reference for drinking in saloons, criticized Dr. Dulbos "Star of Ethiopia" for having danced therein, and scored the many candidates for various offices because they were advertising their candidates like ward politicians. When it became known that Dr. Carpenter was to preach the sermon, many of the delegates attending the conference helped to pack the church. Many of them wined as he made his onlaught against unrighteousness in high places. Some of the delegates became unresponsive at his plenary, and the general conference was introduced in the general conference Monday censuring him for his utterances. The resolution passed. Dr. Carpenter said in part: Dr. Carpenter said in part. There are some Christians who say, "Lord, I will follow Thee, but I don't see any harm in dancing." Now there is a law in our rituals that says don't encourage dancing, but I very seldom mention it, and if I did, and sought higher, authority to help me fight it, I would be told to let that alone. How on earth is the church going to square itself when it is co-operating in the living of the great play of Negro life in which there is dancing? Some of my members come to me and tell me their wives come home from the rehearsals of this play, they are so still they can hardly walk. They have been dancing. And then there are some Christians who say: "Lord, I will follow Thee, but I don't see any harm in taking a little drink now and then." Why, some of the members of this church have been complaining about some of the delegates to the General Conference who are living with them, taking out the water pitchers and bringing beer into their homes. What has African Methodism come to? There is a club on South Street made up of a fairly good set of men, most of whom are not Christians. These men can look across the street into a saloon and see the gold badges of some of our delegates as they line up at the bar. Then there are some Christians who say, "O. Lord, I will follow Thee, but I see no harm in having affinities." How can you lead your members if you are guilty of these things yourself? I don't say that you are guilty of these things. But the trouble is that if one colored people wrong the whole race is condemned. READING, PA.
