The New York Age IS CLEAN. ONCE IT BECOMES A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY IT IS ALWAYS LOOKED FOR AND WELCOMED. :: VOL. XXIX No. 39 PLATFORMMUTE ON RACE ISSUE WAS RACE'S PLEA PRESENTED? B.J.Davis, of Georgia, Member of Platform Committee, Says that No Delegation from Race Appeared Before Committee. NEGRO NOT REPRESENTED But Napier of Tennessee and Cozart of New Jersey Declare that Delegation Did Go Before the Committee and that it was Only Through the Influence and Efforts of Davis that Hearing was Granted. The failure of the Republican party at the Chicago convention to make any pronouncement concerning the civil and political rights of the Negro has aroused considerable comment. There is a difference of opinion as to the cause. In last weeks Aig, Hon. J. C. Napier of Nashville stated in an interview that it was only by the efforts of B. J. Davis, member of the Committee on Platform and Resolutions from Georgia, that the delegation representing the interests of the Negro was heard, and that it was because of Davis' energy that recognition was given to the resolutions presented by the delegation. in its issue of June 17, the Atlanta Independent of which B. J. Davis is editor, contains a leading article written by Mr. Davis in which he declares that no delegation of Negroes appeared before the Committee on Platform and Resolutions, although, he says, "before the committee every man and interest had an opportunity." "There was no effort to shut out anybody," and "the committee was sincerely in favor of giving everybody a hearing, and the man or cause that was not heard to his heart's content had nobody to blame but himself." Mr. Davis cites the fact that of all the interests presented to the committee for consideration, the only cause that had no organized effort behind it was the race question. Says Memorial Not Presented. Continuing, he says: In Chicago, on Monday night, on motion or suggestion of Col. Henry Linch in Johnson, a committee of one hundred men, more or less, was appointed to present a protest against lynching and to have the party include its platform a protest against lynching and a declaration in favor of the reduction of Southern representation in Congress as provided for in the fourteenth amendment in as much as the party had recognized the genius of this amendment in the reduction of representation from the South in the Republican National Convention. This committee was to meet at the Appomattox City and write a memorial. If it met, never reported and there would have been nothing at all for the race before the committee had it not been for the court of Hon. Edward H. Wright, an attorney of Chicago. At the last moment after having waited until the eleventh hour for action by the committee, this gentleman got in a race which Senator Borah principally moved to table shutting off all doors and making it impossible for the committee to do anything we hoped for. The Nero alone had no organization, no leader, no man in court upon their rights. Yet they captured in millions of our population the Nero's one-seventh people of the greatest country, yet at no time disorganized they and come together and demand of parties such recognition as Lincoln for them in the constitution of United States. We seem prepared to another. The only preparation believed in is that preparedness prepares us to fight and squabble ourselves. There is no organization either state or national, in that stands for the manhood black people. Cozart Scores Committee. noted that Mr. Davis, by does not accept the credit Mr. Napier for energetic work in the committee in range. delegation did go before the on Platform and Resolu- cer, is also declared by Win- art of Atlantic City, who convention as a delegate and congressional distri ctory Mr. Cozart writes, that a mistake to say that any resolutions presented by the education was adopted as part of it, he can corroborate the it was only through B the committee was heard, he writes, "Mr. Lodge had a hearing." under date of June 17, to the editor of THE name of the delegates who the Republican National Con- tent to a that my good friend, the Honorable Nation made a mistake when behind that the Committee on Platform and Resolutions, at the Republi- can National Convention, received and adopted a part of the resolution presented to it by a committee of race leaders. I know whereof I speak, as I was one of the general committee, out of which a committee of fifteen lawyers were selected to draw up the resolution. I was present when it was presented and corroborate that part of the statement that it was only through B. J. Davis that our committee was heard, as Mr. Lodge had at first refused a hearing. Voted Against Platform. But the Committee on Platform and Resolution did not incorporate any of the resolution presented, and, so far as in its report, our committee, as well as the race, was completely ignored. It was for this reason that I, as a delegate, stood with my right uplifted and voted "NO" when the vote was taken on adoption of the platform. I was the only delegate in the convention who voted against adoption of the platform because I opposed what it said, but for what it did not say as requested by our race committee. The rules of the convention would not allow me to state why I voted "no," so I accepted the only opportunity available and rose upon my feet with uplifted hands as a protest against the ignoring of my race. I contend that the Republican party is drifting from its moorings and cowardly deserting the race, which has been its most loyal supporter in the days of need. The Republican Platform Committee went on record as condemning all crimes committed on sea, abroad or in any part of the world, and especially killing of too many, to go on record as being against the lynching and burning of the men and women of our race and to incorporate a plank making the same a Federal crime. They were also two cowardly, to go on record as being in favor of the reduction of representation in congress in those States where a certain part of its citizens are denied the right of franchise, and representatives are sent to congress on their numerical strength. The National Convention adopted the recommendations, without the said additions, and the members sat supremely by and only one voice, was heard in the wilderness as a protest. What About the Negro Committeemen. There were two Negroes, members of the Committee on Platform and Resolutions, Benjamin J. Davis of Georgia and Dr. S. D. Redmond of Mississippi. The question that is being asked by many folks, and the question that seems to require some kind of an answer, is, "What did Davis and Redmond do, as members of the Negro race, to have the Platform Committee make a strong and definite pronouncement on Lyuching, the Franchise, Segregation and other vital phases of the race question? As members of the committee, they undoubtedly had a voice in its proceedings. There are many who would like to know—Did Davis and Redmond make any fight in the committee for the insertion in the platform of a plank that would present the rights of the race as one of the fundamental principles for which the Republican party will stand? DODSON RE-ELECTED AS PRESIDENT NINTH TERM (Special to The New York Age.) Philadelphia, Pa.—After holding four of the most profitable sessions in its history, the New England Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. convention closed its twenty-third annual meeting at the Second Baptist Church in this city at 1 o'clock Wednesday, June 14. Delegates were present from fifty-five schools scattered over seven States and the District of Columbia. A high pitch of interest in the work was maintained from the opening of the convention on Tuesday morning until the close of the last session. The children's program under the direction of Mrs. J. C. Jackson of the local school, the line tribute the convention paid to the memory of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the president's annual address and the neat demonstration of methods by the B. Y. P. U. workers occasioned much favorable comment by the daily press and the large number of visitors. Mrs. S. A. Harris and Mrs. Ida Lee Scott were the Brooklyn speakers on the program. The contributions from the various organizations amounted to $207.63. The financial report of the treasurer, the Rev. A. Clayton Powell of New York, showed a balance of $57 brought forward from 1915. The statistical report of the combined schools and B. Y. P. U.'s showed that 643 members were converted during the year. The convention made a contribution to the Washington Memorial Fund, the Howard Orphanage and Industrial School, and several other institutions. Appropriations for two small Sunday Schools and for other purposes were also voted by the board of managers. N. R. Dodson of Brooklyn, who was elected president of the convention in 1908 was re-elected for the ninth consecutive year. The other general officers are: A. J. Carey, Plaintiff, N. J. first vice-president; H. S. Stevens, Philadelphia, second vice-president; C. G. Harris, Stamford, Conn., recording secretary; Mrs. L. C. Beanan, New York, corresponding secretary; Rev. A. C. Powell, New York, treasurer, and the Rev. W. O. Harris, Stamford, Conn., auditor. BAPTIST S. S BODY (Special to THE NEW PHILADELPHIA, Pa.--During the session of the New England Sunday School convention last week, President N. B. Dodson announced a suspension of business for the purpose of hearing an enquiry of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington pronounced by the Rev. W. S. Graham. Following Dr. Graham's tribute, the convention voted to donate $10 to the fund being raised by the New York committee. President Dodson was unanimously reelected as president of the convention. AFRICAN TROOPS IN FRANCE ARE FIGHTERS Brooklyn Man in Foreign Legion. Tells About New Colored Troops from Africa. BLACKS ANXIOUS FOR ACTION Charlie Charles of Brooklyn Declares that Black Troops are Not Afraid of Shell Fire, But handle Guns and Anxiously Await the German Rush Which Does Not Came-Rockwell Cables the Letter. The crisis now impending in this country's relations with Mexico, and the fact that a large number of the soldiers composing the Negro regiments in the United States army are already doing service in that country and on the border, makes it of especial interest to note the reports concerning the achievements of the black soldiers engaged in the present European war. Perhaps the most interesting account which has come to the United States lately is contained in the correspondence of Paul Ayres Rockwell from Paris to the New York Globe and Chicago Daily News, and copyrighted by those publications. In Rockwell's cable dispatches of June 19 he tells of a letter received from a young white fellow from Brooklyn, N.Y., now operating a machine gun in the French Foreign Legion. The young Brooklynite is named Charlie Charles and he writes to Rockwell concerning the native African troops who, with the Foreign Legion, form a part of the army of Morocco fighting in France. Says Charles in his letter: "We have some new colored troops who have never been in the trenches before, and believe me they look at the German trenches with wistful eyes. Not Afraid of Shell Fire. "You ought to see the fighting tool they carry. It looks like a meat cleaver. Surely I feel sorry for the German who falls into the hands of those boys. It is said that the colored chaps are afraid of shell fire, but from personal observation I know it is not true." Whenever the Germans start a bombardment the blacks handle their guns and anxiously await the German rush, which up to this time has failed to come. "The groes seem childish when they come to the kitchens for their rations. They romp and play. I am sure that when we break through the German lines and put these fellows after them the Germans will never stop running." Commenting on the statements contained in Charles' letter; Rockwell, the war correspondent, gives the following information: "The troops Charles mentored are Negroes who have been recruited in the French colonies of Senegal and Madagascar. They are splendidly built, muscular men belonging to the most intelligent and courageous of African tribes. They make excellent soldiers, being devoted to France and following their officers blindly. Killed 10 in Hand to Hand Fight. "In October, 1914, when I was with the Legion in the Champagne, I saw many Senegalese troops who had fought in the battle of the Marne and were with us in the trenches. They were all coal black, gigantic in statute, and spoke a sort of French dialect, pronouncing the words much as did the old Southern plantation Negroes in the United States. They were great knife fighters. One to whom I talked, by the testimony of a French officer, killed ten Germans in hand-to-hand combat and others had killed several each. They then wore picturesque dark blue uniforms trimmed with yellow braid. Now they wear the yellowish khaki of the army of Morocco. Unable to stand the cold the first lot brought here were sent back to Africa, where their tales of the European fighting induced their countrymen to volunteer by the tens of thousands. Charles says that those now at the front are extremely friends with all their comrades of the French army. Black Troops Anxious for Action. "I am afraid they will get restless," adds my correspondent, "and make a run on the German trenches on their own book, for they walk about the trenches in a restless manner. I asked several of them how they liked the life, and they replied that there was not enough action to suit them, and that the trenches were too dirty." By a special ruling of the French war department the wives and families of the native African volunteers have the same allowances as the wives and families of mobilized Frenchmen. Consequently there is an unprecedented wave of prosperity in Senegal and Madagascar, where with a few franes a week a native can live in luxury. PITTSBURGH'S FIRST (Special to The New York Acc.) Pittsburgh, Pa. - Miss Eleanor Columbia Fullpress, 45 Taunton avenue, has been appointed as kindergarten teacher in the Grand school. She is the first colored teacher appointed to a position in the Pittsburgh schools, and the appointment was only made after a fight was conducted over the refusal of her application by the public school administration. Congressman Stephen G. Porter is given credit for working in behalf of the appointment. THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1916. SEVENTEETHSESSION OF BUSINESS LEAGUE (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) KANSAS City, MIO. For the first time since its organization, a meeting of the National Negro Business League will be held without the presence of its founder and president, Dr. Booker T. Washington, when the seventeenth annual session is called to order in this city on Wednesday, August 16. But indications all point to the fact that Charles Banks of Mound Bayou, Miss., first vice-president, and I. C. Napier, of Nashville, Tennessee, chairman executive committee, with Emmett J. Scott, of Tuskegee Institute, secretary of the league, have taken up the labor of their departed clerk and have perished such plans$^a$ will continue to perfection the great work of taking to their hands. Local arrangements are in the hands of Fortune J. Weaver, president of the Kansas City Local League, and he has enlisted the cooperation of his loyal assistants to the extent that since the first of the year plans have been laid for the comfort and entertainment of the men and women who will be in attendance at this meeting. In addition to the affiliated bodies of the Business League—the Press Association, the Funeral Directors' Association, the Insurance Association, the Retail Merchants' Association and the Bar Association, there are scheduled for the month of August three other important meetings in Kansas City, i.e., the Missouri Grand Lodge of Masons, the National Medical Association and the National Alliance of Postal Employees.$^b$ To Hold Memorial Service. Before entering upon the business proper of the league, the members will join in paying tribute to the memory of Dr. Washington. A memorial service will be held the first evening, and many persons of national reputation will be on the program: The program proper will include a diversity of practical and helpful subjects relating to business development; the conservation of health, a subject to which Dr. Washington gave close consideration, will be carefully and fully discussed, and plans laid for cooperation with national and local health organizations; the efforts of colored merchants in Atlanta, Nashville and Pensacola to conduct campaigns of cooperative merchandizing and advertising will be set before the members of the league to extend the scope of this plan of development, a closer relationship between the national and local leagues will be sought for, with an idea of making the national league self-sustaining, and an educative campaign for encouraging patronage of Negro business enterprises will be considered. Railroad Operating. President Weaver and his assistants have arranged a wide variety of social entertainments. The railroad officials are cooperating with the league to the end that delegates will be given opportunity to make the trip to Kansas City in comfort. Special Pullmans will probably be placed at convenient points in the southeastern territory and the schedules will be arranged; if possible, so that these cars will be consolidated at St. Louis, and the rest of the trip be made on the Business League Special, operated over the Missouri Pacific Railway. Julius Rosenwald, president of the Sears, Roebuck & Co. corporation, Chicago, has written to Ennett J. Scott extending an invitation to the delegates to stop over in Chicago, have lunchcon with that company and inspect its plant. All information concerning the plans and purposes of the league can be secured from Charles Banks, first vicepresident, Mound Bayou, Miss.; J. C Napier, chairman, executive committee, Nashville, Tenn., or to Ennett J. Scott, secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.

WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE THINKING OF HUGHES Leading Men and Women Asked to Say What They Think of the Republican Nominee. Prominent Race Leaders of Greater New York Give Expression to their Opinion Concerning Charles Evans Hughes—It Is Believed that He will Prove Himself to be a Friend to the Square Deal Policy. The action of the Republican National Convention in naming Charles Evans Hughes of New York as the Presidential candidate of the Republican party has evidently met the approval of the rank and file of the party, if expressions from leading colored Republicans indicate anything. There has been a general acclaim of approval from the editors of race papers in all sections of the country, and many of the prominent men of the race in New York have endorsed the convention's action. A representative of THE AGE asked several of the leading ministers, lawyers, doctors and other business and professional men and women to give an expression of opinion concerning Mr. Hughes as a Presidential candidate. Among those who have responded to this request are the Rev. Dr. Wm. R. Lawton, pastor of the Washington Memorial Presbyterian Mission, and for many years connected with the municipal department of Kings County; Dr. Eugene P. Roberts, one of Mashhattan's leading missionaries, and a clear-thinking, and wise minister, questioning the Rews William P. Hayes; Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, one of the largest churches of that denomination in the United States—in fact, one of the largest Negro churches in the world; Mrs. Mary C. Lawton, president of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs, a prominent member of the National Association of Women's Clubs and Dr. Charles H. Roberts, dentist, who has represented the race both at home and abroad in his profession. Some Expressions of Opinion. The following are expressions of opinions given to The Act by the aforementioned persons. BY DR. CHARLES H. ROBERTS. I have faith in Mr. Hughes, in his qualities of genuine manhood, in his deep sense of right and fair play. He deals in principles, not men. He sees right and wrong, not the individuals involved. He is not swayed by friendship, halted by sympathy nor blinded by thwarting. He cares for praise only as a reward of merit. I believe that the American people will be fortunate in having such a man as its Chief Executive. He would have and command, when necessary, the respect of other nations; he would have and command, when recently lost honor and prestige and further, by his strong sense of right and justice, he would quicken the drooping spirits of patriotism in a large number of native American citizens who in recent years have been greatly oppressed and depressed by unjust discrimination. BY THE REV. W. R. LAWTON. Justice Charles E. Hughes, living outside of political activities and freed from factional alliances, make him easily the strongest union candidate of both wings of the parties. Favored with a public career not long enough for a full tryout, but not too short to know him in part, a man strong in his convictions, in courage and in splendid performances, make him the party's strongest personal appeal to the voters. In His Americanism he is the people's man. He has given evidence that every citizen is a citizen, and that he stands clear and full and square for the rights of the humblest citizen in the Federal Constitution. With the largest possible 'here of service' which the office of the President of the United States offers, and with the example and inspiration from such a demonstration as Ulysses S. Grant, William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt, we are safe in expecting nothing less. BY DR. E. P. ROBERTS. I believe that the election of Mr. Huthus would give all the citizens of the United States a primer, chief in patriotic and humanitarian action of the highest and most state order. I believe that the enactment of discriminating laws for the sole purpose of humiliating and retarding the progress of any group of American citizens would be discouraged and, if possible, prevented by him. I believe that preparedness and the actual relation that all the citizens of this country sustain to our Government would be better understood and more highly appreciated. It is very difficult if not impossible for any group of citizens to fully interpret the meaning of patriotism and Americanism when discrimination and segregation are forced upon them even in Federal positions. When Mr. Huglies was Governor of the State of New York he never condoned wrong in any citizen or group of citizens. When he could not prevent injustice being done he was truly courageous and made public his disapproval. While he was judge in the Supreme Court of the United States all men to turn were equal before the law: racialism, race, creed and color were never taken into account in making his judicial decisions. If we are to maintain for all time a sound and progressive government, just and impartial treatment must be meted out by our Government to all of her deserving citizens. A request to be loyal and faithful and to serve well our country implies that an equal opportunity to prepare to assume this obligation should be given all. I recognize the value of tact and diplomacy. I honor the intellectual man, but I put all of my y faith in the man who rings true along humanitarian lines. I believe Mr. Hughes is such a man. BY THE REV. WILLIAM P. HAYES. "I had hoped that the Republican convention which met week before last in Chicago would see the wisdom of nominating Theodore Roosevelt, the greatest living American, and one of the greatest men of our age." But since the party leaders saw fit to confer this honor upon Charles Evans Hughes I see no other alternative but to accept him in the hope that he may measure up to the demands of the hour. Justice Hughes has not yet demonstrated his interest in the Negro, although as Governor of New York he had ample opportunity to do. Perhaps he has grown to be a larger man during the years he served as associate justice of the Supreme Court. At any rate, he is likely to impress the vast majority of Negroes as being a better man in every way than the present occupant of the White House. I cannot see how any Negro, regardless of party affiliation, could conscientiously cast his ballot for Woodrow Wilson. If my ballot should be the determining factor of the next Presidential election, then Mr. Justice Hughes is already the next President of the United States." MRS. MARY G. LAWTON Now that the Republican party has placed in nomination for the Presidency a man representing the highest tribunal of justice, it is but fair to conclude that the high and lofty principles he espoused as judge on the Supreme Bench will characterize his administration as the Chief Executive of the nation. The platform upon which he is to stand—Americanism and Preparedness—are issues which must strike the heart of every American citizen, for in them are the fundamental principles underlying the Constitution of the United States, which if enforced would make America the brightest star in the galaxy of republics. No man since the days of Abraham Lincoln has had the opportunity which confronts the Republican nominee, ex-Justice Charles E. Hughes—that of being a fair, unbiased, unprejudiced President, a ruler to whom all the people may look for justice, one in whom the humblest constituent may with safety rest his cause in equity. TO RAISE $10,000 FROM MEHARRY ALUMNI (Special to The New York Asl.) NASHVILLE, TENN.-The faculty of Meharry Medical College has given $2,400, the local graduates $680 and other Nashville friends $480, towards an endowment fund which has been launched by President George W. Hubbard of the Meharry College. Through an announcement made by President Hubbard this week it develops that campaigns are to be put on in Alabama, Georgia and Texas, while hundreds of Meharry graduates are located and each of the living Meharry graduates will be asked to contribute. The effort is being made to raise $10,000 among the alumni. The Carnegie Board has given $150,000 to Meharry unconditionally, and from another source it is hoped to secure a gift of $150,000. The $10,000 from the alumni and colored friends of Meharry, declares Dr. Hubbard, will and largely in securing the $150,000 from the source which has not yet been made public. The Meharry college has a splendid record of achievement, there being 1,450 medical, 325 dental, 233 pharmaceutical and 57 nurse-training graduates from this institution. "COLLIER'S IS FRIENDLY," That Collier's does not entertain an untruthfully attitude toward Negroes was made known to Charles E. Conek, a stenographer in the District Attorney's office. Brooklyn, who is personally acquainted with its editor, Mr. Conek called on Mr. Sullivan, carrying with him a chipping from Titin Vol, which told of an agent giving out the report that Collier's did not want Negro subordinates. Mr. Sullivan, who had seen a chipping from Titin Vol, on the subject, produced papers giving the record of the agent's question. The showed that the man's reputation was bad, having served time for a criminal offense, and that he had been discharged by the Omaha office some time ago. Every assurance was given Mr. Conek that Collier's was kindly disposed toward colored people. MRS. CORA L. WINSTON NEW SUPERINTENDENT at the meeting of the board of directors, Mrs. Cora L. Winston was elected superintendent of the Soupier Truth House to succeed Mrs. Lva G. Burleigh, who resigned on account of illness. Mrs. Winston is a graduate of the Nurses' Training School at Lincoln Hospital, class of 1911. For several years she did private nursing and was at one time on the nursing staff of the Department of Health. During the hard winter of 1914-15, Mrs. Winston was in charge of the industrial features in the Mayor's unemployment workshop conducted by the National Urban League. For the past year she has been in charge of the Lincoln Hospital Home Nurses at 135th street. The New York Age IS RELIABLE. WHEN YOU SEE IT IN "THE AGE" YOU CAN DEPEND UPON IT. NEWS THAT IS INFORMING. PRICE FIVE CENTS SIX THINGS TO STOP LYNCHING Southerner Specifies What Must Be Done to End Defiance of Law. One Everlasting, Fundamental and Eternal Gospel to be Preached, Then There will be No Justification for Race Hatred. Declared that White Men Must Start a Crusade Against White Vultures who Prey on Colored Girls—Many Times Fifty Colored Girls Seduced by Lowdown White Men—Few Lynchings Due to Rapings. A strong and noteworthy expression on the lynching problem was recently made by a Southern white man, W. D. Weatherford, author of "Negro Life in the South" and "Present Forces in Negro Progress." Mr. Weatherford was addressing the Southern Sociological Congress, which was holding a session at New Orleans. He stated at the outset that lynching was only common in those countries where the government was weak or poorly established. Mr. Weatherford disagrees with those who attribute attacks on women as a cause for lynchings. He cites the record made by the slave coachmen and housemen during the war in controversy of this charge Entering into a detailed discussion of lynching, its causes and its effects, Mr. Weatherford spoke as follows: "Whatever the explanation of the origin of this horrible crime, there can be no doubt that it is greatly increased by the racial antagonisms which have grown up since the war, and as we shall see later, one means of preventing necessary "Viewed from the standpoint of those who compose the mob, the causes of lynching have been variously stated. Some have thought that lynching was simply a perverted instinct, that it is a survival of the instinct of the chase and has in it an element of bloodthirstiness which is satisfied in war and the killing of game. This may have some justification, but to me it does not seem a sufficient explanation. "Others have supposed that it is the appeal to brute force as the only means which men have found adequate and drastic enough to awaken hardened and brutal men. Still others have defended it on the basis that it is the only punishment that will strike terror to the heart of the criminal classes and thus prevent further crimes. Again, it has been defended on the ground that it is the only way to punish the criminal and at the same time shield from public attention the one against whom the crime has been committed. Some have even been willing to defend lynching on the ground that it is the only form of vengeance which will bring any degree of relief to the male relatives of the wronged person. "However plausible these arguments in favor of lynching may seem to the inflamed mind, not one of them will stand the scrutiny of a sober mind. Lynching Does Not Prevent Crime: "It is a well-known fact that lynching does not prevent crime. It is a well-established fact that lynchings tend to repeat themselves in certain localities. The hardening effect of one lynching tends detrimently to the increase of the most horrible crimes. "It should be noticed first of all that all persons lynchied have not been men, and all men lynchied have not been Negroes. The first lynchings in this country were persecuted on Indians, later on despatte white men, then later on Negroes, and recently on white men and women who have committed such crimes as to arouse violent popular hatred. According to Mr. Cutler (Lynch Law), of the 3,537 Lynchings between 1882 and 1903, 2,000 were Negroes, 1,109 were white, 108 were foreigners and Indians, 100 of the colored and twenty-three of the whites were women. "It should next be noted that the overwhelming majority of colored lynchings (100 per cent) are not for criminal assault at all. Of all the colored men lynchied, only 34 per cent of them were lynchied for the one awful crime of assault on white women. Thirty-eight per cent, were lynchied for murder, 10 per cent, for minor offences, 5 per cent, for arson, and in the reraining 8 per cent, for unclassified and petty crimes, and, indeed, in some cases, for no crimes at all. Of those lynchied for minor offences, there were ninety-one different causes given, varying from killing a girl and throwing stones, up to kidnapping. What Must Be Done.. "Six specific things must be done if we are to remove the stigma of lynching from the South. "First, we must have such changes in court procedure as will insure prompt and just punishment of criminals, particularly in cases of criminal assault. There is no particle of doubt that many lynchings take place because of apprehension on the part of the people that the courts will daily with the case until the lessons taught from prompt administration of justice will be lost. "Second, we white men must start a crusade against the white vultures who prey on colored girls. If there were fifty white women assaulted by Negroes in 1916, I have not a doubt there were many times that many colored girls seduced by low-down white men. "Third, the leaders of the Negro race must begin to preach a crusade against Negro brutes who commit this terrible crime. "Fourth, white and colored alike must unite in uncovering every criminal and bringing every offender to justice promptly and without evasion. White men must guarantee safety to every man who was waging trial against him, must be trained to defend every scalawag by saying it is a case of race prejudice. The white man is criminally guilty of neglecting to give every man a due trial, and not a few colored men are guilty of trying to make martyrts of every Negro charged with criminal assault. "Fifth, we must inspire new respect for law in the hearts of our younger generation. Every case of lynching is a direct blow at stable government. No nation can continue as a law-abiding commonwealth when its laws are constantly deified by those who claim to be the defenders of justice. When any group undertakes to administer justice unlawfully, it soon results that the lawless element of that group gets into control, and we have a reign of anarchy. This is the present situation in regard to lynching. "Sixth, we must inculcate a deep respect for personality if we are to remove the cause of lynching. We lynched Negroes first because we thought we respected womanhood, but the hideous scenes of lynching so hardened our hearts as to make us bold to lynch women, even white women, in whose defence we first practiced this horrible cruelty. Lynching has been practiced, and has sowed the dragon teeth for a new harvest of crime. Sacredness of the Person. "If we are to remove lynching, the one everlasting, fundamental and eternal gospel we must preach is the sacredness of the person. This means that, since the person is sacred, we cannot despise any, and there can be no justification for race hatred. On the peril of losing all my respects for rights, privileges and law, l, as a white man, dare not hate a Negro, and, what is just as much to the point, the Negro, on that same penalty, dare not hate a white man. "Lynching does not strike terror to the heart of any race, it rather arouses the devil in them to do their worst. Lynching never shields the victim of assault from public notice, it rather throws her into the most lurid limelight. "Lynching does not prevent crime, because it brutalizes all who take part, and arouses bitter resentment in the hearts of the class to whom the victim belongs. Lynching is not lawful punishment of individual crime; it is criminal procedure against the stability of the State and the safety of the whole public. All revengeful dealing is answered by new revenge, and every lynching sows the needs for a dozen or more murders and assaults." "Prompt administration of justice, a deeper respect for law, a fundamental respect for personality, and the eradication of all class and race prejudices; these will bring about a new public sentiment. Which will make lynching impossible. To the propagation of these great issues every law-abiding citizen should give himself." Mr. Weatherford's address made such a deep impression that the delegates voted unanimously to give it the widest publicity in the press and to publish it in pamphlet form. CHAPLAIN O. J. W. SCOTT LEAVES 25th INFANTRY SCHOFEL BARRACKS, HONOLULU, T. H.-Chaplain Oscar J. W. Scott, 25th Infantry, has completed his tour of duty with the regiment, on foreign service, and has been ordered back to the United States for assignment to one of the colored regiments stationed on the Mexican border. Chaplain Scott is popular with both the commissioned and the enlisted personnel of the regiment, and they sincerely regret to see him leave. The chaplain has taken a vital interest in clean athletic sports and was always one of the best rosters at the important baseball games; he has been the inspiration of many a young man's determination to improve his mental faculties while a soldier in the army, and he has conducted with marked success a post school for the enlisted men of the regiment; he has built up a splendid regimental library, having solicited books in various parts of the country for this purpose; a strong literary society which bears his name is one of the products of his labors. The Sunday night and midnight meetings conducted by Chaplain Scott were held and must be borne in mind that enlisted men are not compelled to attend church in the army. One of the institutions which chaplain Scott will leave behind him and for which the children of the regiment will always be especially grateful to him, is the annual Christmas tree for all the regiment. Chaplain Oscar J. W. Scott has been a officer of the army since April, 1907, then he was appointed a chaplain and lieutenant of the 25th Infantry. He was promoted to his captaincy in April, 1914.

She was formerly an instructor music at the Ohio Institution for the Ind. Mrs. Scott was born at Columbus, Ohio, and is a grand-daughter of a great old Dr. Poindexter, known throughout Ohio as a leader in religiousought during his long and useful life. Explain and Mrs. Scott have been asked with three children, Albert and men and Miss Ruth. Albert is a student in the high school, Columbus, Ohio.

In the Democratic platform adopted at the St. Louis convention is a plank which, if not written by the President, was put in with his full knowledge and consent; for he is reported as the real author of the St. Louis document. The following is the plank to which we refer: "We challenge comparison of our record, our keeping of pledges, and our constructive legislation with those of any part of any time." We need go no further than to quote the following plank adopted at the Baltimore convention in 1912: "We favor a single Presidential term, and to that end urge the adoption of an amendment to the Constitution making the President of the United States ineligible for re-election, and we pledge the candidate of this convention to this principle." Has President Wilson during his entire term made one single effort to keep that pledge? No; on the other hand, before his inauguration he took definite steps to prevent the pledge from being carried out. The Democrats might, at least, have avoided making an exhibition of their candidate's persidy by leaving out the paragraph quoted above from their 1916 platform. PREJUDICE IN THE NATIONAL GUARD. The case of Charles M. Steinert, a Jew of this city, who states that he was barred from membership in the National Guard because of his race, gives us to know that we are not the only race so discriminated against. It will not be interesting to watch how the Jews will fight this matter. Already a lawyer has been put on the job, and you may rest assured that enough money and influence will be put behind him to carry the issue through successfully. When it becomes generally known among the Jews of this city that they are barred from the New York National Guard, we pity the fate of the men who are responsible for the discrimination. The tremendous Jewish financial power will be brought against them, and they will either surrender or be crushed. Here is the great difference between the Jew and the Negro; when we are wronged we have to go and beg and plead for a little justice; the Jew demands, his money enables him to do it. The wise thing for the Negro to do is to form as close an alliance with the Jew as is possible, so that the latter in fighting for his own rights will, in some degree, fight for ours also. This was the case in the splendid civil rights bill which was passed in VIEWS and REVIEWS We could enumerate many reasons why Woodrow Wilson should be defeated. We could review his whole shifting, temporizing policy with the belligerent countries of Europe. We could go over the entire series of his contradictory and dumfounding actions with regard to Mexico, which have brought us into a state of war with that country, and which before these lines are printed may bring us to actual warfare. We might answer the chief claim on which he goes before the country, that of having kept the United States out of the present war, by pointing out that no European nation has sought a quarrel with us, that any man can keep out of a fight who can run fast enough or stand an unlimited number of cuffs and kicks. We could show that the prosperity of which the Administration boasts is only blood money. In reply to the Democratic platform motto, "Peace with honor," we could cite the sinking of the Lusitania still unayowed, the flag in Mexico still unsaluted, and the deaths of hundreds of American soldiers and civilians at the hands of Mexicans on both sides the Rio Grande still unanswered for. But even if Wilson's diplomacy with the European nations was above all criticism, if his Mexican policy had resulted in the establishment of order and good government in that republic, if the present sectional prosperity was entirely independent of the war, if Germany had humbly apologized for sinking the Lusitania, and the whole Mexican people had groveled in the dust before the American flag, we should still be against Woodrow Wilson because Woodrow Wilson has shown that he is against the Negro. It matters not to us, as a race, what the issues are; we are obliged to stand upon this one vital issue. It is regrettable that, as American citizens, we must take such a position, but it is forced upon us and we can do nothing less. Woodrow Wilson has not stood, with regard to the Negro...even with the broad minded men of the Democratic party. He has stood with the Floke Smiths, the Vardamans, the Tillmans and the Bleses. It is the duty of every colored voter to prepare and qualify himself for the coming election. It is his duty, to use every ounce of influence and pressure which he can bring to bear either as an individual or a member of the race to bring about the defeat of Woodrow Wilson. THE SURPASSING OF BRYAN. We have always considered that W. J. Bryan as a generator and dispenser of oratorical hot air, was peerless and unrivaled throughout the length and breadth of these United States, but the St. Louis convention proved there is a greater than Bryan. This greater one is Judge Wescott of New Jersey, who placed the name of Woodrow Wilson in nomination. Bryan also spoke at the convention. He lugged in his famous "cross of gold," pressed down his famous "crown of thorns," and stood Christ before Pilate, but Judge Wescott's speech made Bryan's sound like a logical argument by Elihu Root. Listen to the opening sentences of Judge Wescott, the super-Bryan. We say listen to them, because hearing is the particular faculty to which they appeal: Prophecy is fulfilled. The eternal verities of righteousness have prevailed. Undismayed by the calamities of war, unmoved by vituperation and vain declamation, holding to the pure altar of truth, the schoolmaster is statesman, the statesman financier, the financier emancipator, the emancipator pacificator, the pacificator the moral leader of Democracy. It would be natural to think that an orator who started his flight at such an elevation could do nothing thereafter, but flounder, down from one anticlimax to another, that he could not possibly wing his way to any sublimer altitudes; but to do that would be to underestimate Judge Wescott's ability as an oratorical aviator. He rises steadily from one dizzy height to another still dizzier, until he reaches that rarified region where his perfervid words expand themselves into tenuous gas. Listen to this, on Woodrow, the producer of prosperity: There stands the astounding phenomenon of American prosperity. What is its explanation? The Euclid of financial theory, worked to a demonstration measures for the country's relief. He promptly put into effect the legislative expression of a great programme. He did not talk. He did things. He dynamited the monetary dams and let credit flow to the remotest corners of the land, its spray dashing even upon foreign shores. Realizing the danger of being charged with attempting to paint the lily or add another hue to the rainbow, we nevertheless suggest that Archimedes would have better fitted into the picture than Euclid, for it was the former who worked his theories out into practical results; furthermore, it seems a bit inharmonious to compare Woodrow with anything that came out of Africa. It would, of course, be entirely out of order to intimate that the war has anything to do with this "astounding phenomenon of American prosperity," or that there are still certain corners of the country and a considerable number of the inhabitants thereof that have not yet felt its flow or even been dashed by its spray. It is unfurling over the trenches of the struggling nations. From the vantage ground of imperishable Americanism the matchless craft of a real pacifist has not only avoided all war but is leading the world into the ways of peace. From the smouldering ruins of a thousand cities, over the graves of millions of brave men, out of the blackness of the battle smoke arising from the obscurities of national passions, already the peoples of the earth recognize the dim outlines, growing ever more distinct, of the composite soul of America in the patient and humane wisdom of the world's real pacificator. We must say that we do not quite like "matchless craft"; the word "craft" strikes us as being too close to "craftiness," a trait which has more than once been attributed to Woodrow. Nor are we able, through the "blackness of the battle smoke," to discern anything that even remotely looks like Woodrow, "the world's real pacificator." But, on the Wescott hotairoplane we take another use: When the imperialism of Europe cast the iron dice of destiny America threw the moral dice of destiny. America staked the principles of her justice. There they stand in untarnished integrity in the gaze of a stricken world. We feel sure that we shall not be accused of quibbling when we hint that portraying America as taking part in a sort of international crap game is not in keeping with her character in the preceding Woodrow has not had and, perhaps, will never again have a panegyrist like Wescott. Nominees have before now been extravagantly extolled by nominators, but never has one been politically defied so completely. Wescott took Woodrow up and set him on a kind of political Olympus. In a speech of this kind where, the speaker is so intently bent on claiming everything possible for his subject, it is strange to see such a sentiment as the following slip in: America, prosperous, peaceful, blessed, is so because the inscrutable purposes of God intended it. The contrast between Europe in flames and suffering, the United States peaceful and prosperous, is the divine contrast. Here in an unguarded moment the orator takes American peace and prosperity and blessedness and gives credit for them to God. We skip other passages that we might cite and come to the now famous peroration, which, it is said, raised the assembled Democratic hosts out of their chairs and set them to howling. Here it is: Out of the ruins and sufferings of the present conflict will arise a temple of justice whose dome will be the blue vault of heaven; its illuminants the eternal stars; its pillars the everlasting hills; its ornaments the woods and bountiful fields; its music the rippling rills, the song of birds, the laughter of happy childhood; its diapason the roar of mills and the hum of industry, its votaries the peoples of the earth; its creed, on which hangs all 'the law and the prophets, "Love they neighbor as thyself." Above its altars in ineffaceable color will live eternally the vision of its artificer. What that all means, we confess we do not know. Doubtless, when the Judge got it off his hearers said, "We don't know what he's saying, but it sounds good." We suppose it is intended to be a picture of the temple of justice that Woodrow built. The first part of the description sounds familiar; it fits a temple built by a greater artificer than Woodrow; it is, we should say, an outdoor scene before bedtime on a starlit night in June. As to the "diapason," we were not aware that temples, especially temples of justice, had diapasons—but, anyhow, why lug in a suburb of Pittsburgh and spoil the whole idyllic picture? Enough! The reader must now realize that the bitterest defeat which William Jennings Bryan has met was not in his oft repeated failure to land the presidency, but his defeat before the St. Louis convention as the champion inflator of flatulent oratorical periods. Henceforth the championship medal which he has so long worn, that medal moulded from an alloy of sounding brass and tinkling cymbals, will be worn upon the breast of Judge Wescott. Baltimore is responsible for a story about a truck horse named Bull which belongs to a brewery company, and is very fond of his beer. It is said that for twenty years Bull has taken his glass of beer at the bar kept by the company at its plant after coming in from a day's work. And what is more, that he is wiser than some men, in that he knows when he has had enough. It is claimed that he drinks his beverage from a glass, and that after two or three glasses he trots off to his stall, and nothing can prevail upon him to touch another drop. This Baltimore story goes on to say: Bull also drinks while on duty, but this impaired his efficiency to any great extent. If the horse is delivering goods he will often stay one of the older customers and not budge until Bull has never been sick in all his years of service former mate, Mike, did not imbibe, and consequently dead on the street during a hot spell. As a brewery advertisement, this is ever seen; but as a story, we can only say been most appropriately named. Bull also drinks while on duty, but this does not seem to have impaired his efficiency to any great extent. His keeper says that when the horse is delivering goods he will often stand in front of a saloon of one of the older customers and not budge until he has received his drink. Bull has never been sick in all his years of service in the brewery. His former mate, Mike, did not imbue, and consequently, so it is said, dropped dead on the street during a hot spell. As a brewery advertisement, this is one of the best we have ever seen; but as a story, we can only say of it that the horse has been most appropriately named.

Thursday evening, June 8. the Morgan House colored waiters, gave a cake walk, and advertised it far and near, and the papers announced that the judges at this highly, elevating and very creditable entertainment were the present city judge, two ex-city, judges, one of, whom is an Irishman, and two Jewish merchants. Every effort was made to get a crowd of people there other than colored people, and you can well imagine that at an entertainment of this kind among colored people the effort to get people there other than colored people was successful. While the waiters in the Morgan House may not be of a high grade of intelligence, it is very peculiar that men in a public place like a hotel, day in and day out; the year round, cannot see and hear the noise causes other people to respect colorful people, and especially colored women. To-day no church or society of any kind, outside of the colored people, ever gives a public entertainment unless it is a take-off on colored people—a minstrel show, the prize feature of which is the cake walk. Would colored people be permitted into a dance held by other people except in the menial capacity of taking care of their wraps or serving food? Has the craze for money taken such a strong hold on colored people that they are ready and eager to sell their self-respect and eager to for a 25-cent ticket for people to come into some place and see them make monkeys of themselves and engage in a calk walk which is one of the most triluring frivolous childish, silly, disgraceful and degrading pastimes anyone who claims to be respectable and the least bit intelligent ever engaged in? It is simply disgusting and those who take part in them, men and women, do not deserve respect. For colored people to organize and engage in such a public entertainment as a cake walk might not have been wondered at 45 years ago, but to-day when they are fighting almost for the right to live it is strange that they should engage in this kind of thing, not only in this city but anywhere. The world respects a man or a race of people only so far as he or it respects himself or itself. The Morgan House waiters may think they have done a line thing, perhaps they made out of the venture five or six dollars each, maybe more, and some of the persons there who were not told them what an enjoyable affair it was: but I can tell them that the judges and everyone else there, not a colored person, has nothing except disgust and the very deepest disrespect in his heart for men who are willing to and do exploit their own people and make of them a mockery and a jeer for others for the masty, insignificant, childish sum, each realized, if he realized anything, out of this entertainment. Instead of trying to guard against everything that tends towards disrespect to their people, these waiters are organizing the very movements that bring only disrespect and disgrace. It is to be hoped that the cake walk, a thing which has brought as much ridicule and disrespect on colored people as anything that can be recalled to mind, will never be indulged in again by colored people anywhere, and surely not here in Poughkeepsie. I wish the editor of THE AGR had time some day to speak generally in THE AGR on the effects of such things as cake walks on the fortunes of colored people. "Do thoughts that came to you in the long age ever return?" asked the originator of silly questions. "Not unless I enclose stamps." answered the literary party.—Chicago Dalk, News.

"The Awakening of Hezekiah Jones," from the pen of the "veteran writer, John E. Bruce (Bruce Grit) may be referred to as a political narrative importantly produced. The story, although familiar to most of us, is graphically and interestingly written as to be entertaining. The book deals with political conditions as they affect the Negro generally—about the colored voters in a town holding the balance of power, mainly responsible for Republican victories, and receiving the usual reward for their loyalty and undivided support—the "gird hand," profuse flattery and a few minor jobs, until Hezekiah Jones begins to see the light and play politics as it should be played. Hezekiah Jones is portrayed as the leader of the colored constituency; but, unlike many of our colored leaders of today, Hezekiah Jones, instead of bending all efforts to capture a political plum for himself, proves to be a real leader by fighting intelligently and effectively to secure political positions for other colored men. One gets the impression, upon reading Mr. Bruce's book, that he selected his characters from every day life. CHARLESTON, S. C CHARLESTON, S. C.-Wm. A. Dart, son of the late Rev. J. L.

R SCHOOL FOR TEACHERS IN JUNE 12 TO JULY 21, 1916 VISION DURING LAST THREE YEARS THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1816. AMES W. JOHNSON AT GA. STATE I. COLLEGE SAVANNA H. GA.—Commencement week at the Georgia State Industrial College Prot. Richard R. Wright, president, was marked by a series of interesting exercises. Probably the feature of the week is the address delivered on Tuesday night, June 13, at the anniversary exercises of the literary society by James Weldon Johnson of New York City, contributing editor of THE New York Age. He was for seven years United States consul to Nicaragua and Venezuela. ucla This was the twenty-fifth commencement of the college, and the baccalaureate session was preached by the Rev. Richard K. Wright, Jr., who was the first college graduate of this school. Youna Mr. Wright is editor of the Christian Recorder, Philadelphia, Pa. The person was preached on Sunday, June 11, the word "Rabbitbout" from John 20,16, being used as a text. After expressing his pleasure at coming back to the scene of his boyhood life and early childhood, the minister said: I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate the State of Georgia upon this special institution, which is one of the most investments the State has made of its own upbuilding. I have planned to make a careful comparison of what the State spends for its educational institutions and penal institutions for dared people—the relative amount of money put in buildings and grounds in equipment, in salaries of teachers and wardens and guards, etc. and then find out what the State gets from its investment, its citizenship, in industry, in peace and security, but I realize that on such occasion as this any additional comparison as this would be easier, but I do trust that such more money be made, for I am sure that it will convince the most obstinate that every cent spent at this college is the newest kind of business investment the State could make, and that in proportion as it makes this paying investment in education, it will have to lay out less money in the mere expense of "pensions." becoming reminiscent, the speaker said. I come to this institution the second or of its existence—twenty-four years ago. To-day there are only the persons connected with this institution who were then among its officers and teachers, and who have conceived during the twenty-five years of its existence and those men are Gen P W. Moldrim, the chairman of the commission, and Prof. R. R. Wright, the president of the college—the one a white man, the other a black man—who should typify the cordial relation which should exist among the races. "I hear we shall all be long dead before a generation having better perspective than we have will give these men, that ir just deserts in the kind of life they have done this quarter of a century. What it means not merely for St. Johnah, not merely for Georgia, not merely for the South, but for our common country, in the working out of our vexing problems—only the historian will be able to justify well." Speaking of service, the speaker said: 'The world is coming to Jesus' idea of service. Men once counted greatness in good, in ancestry, in training; but Jesus counts it in service. Not what school you do to, or how long you go, but what you do.' Monday night, June 12, the students of the literary department presented Shakespeare's 'The Merchant of Venice' to a raised house. James W. Johnson's Address. Sunday night Mr. Johnson delivered to the library to the literary societies in the remarkable impression. After creating the school upon its remarkable progress he said in part, "The hundred years ago, the Americar-North was a naked savage over whom there was a controversy waged as whether or not he bed a human soul as to whether or not he could be made susceptible to religious teaching. Later as a slave, he became the subject of a controversy as to whether or not he contained sufficient gray matter to enable him to master even the requirements of learning; as to whether he could ever make English speech mode of thought fully his own. T. E. is a freeman, he is the sage of a controversy as to his right to own citizenship in this great America in democracy, as to his fitness for membership in the American Nation. The Negro had only to show them kindly qualities of his heart that he had a human soul, not only to master the book to know that he could learn." To ask her discussed three classes of the first class, who are the New York friends, the second, who had a particular love and the third class, who consisted of the enemies of the race. The rating which I have given these several classes holds good not only for the country at large, but for a separate State and community. Here in the State of Georgia, here in the State of Savannah, who are your friends. Who are they that would not see you a wrong or commit an act and not against you, that are willing to extend to you a helping hand that爱你 should have the opportunity to develop mind and soul, that is to recognize character and worth, that, even now as before, and to listen you and the fury which will times rise up and seek to destroy. To call their names would call the long roll of the other hand, who are against you, whether you are wrong, whether you be worthy. I do not need to assure it not a significant fact that in each State and community our lives among the highest and most deserved of sentiment among the most majorly calls for threefold our part. Those who are we must hold; and we must justify their friendship and their hopes. Those who are intended of us, we must seek to understand their interest, and by understanding create in them the common. Those who fight is simple, therefore our effort must be made, not single. be seen the colored West Indian man in London, and he is more Eng- lard. lish than a lord. I have seen the Halitan man in Paris, and he is more Fronchy than a marquis. I belows he could make a good Chinaman, with the exception of the pigtail—and some of us could even do that. This inherent power of adaptability is one of our greatest assets. It serves to blunt the arrows of persecution, and to temper the blows of oppression that would otherwise crush us. In spite of the fact that the Negro is of a more divergent type from the dominant race in this country than is any other distinct race variety, yet he is able to come into closer touch than any of the less divergent types. He comes closer than the Japanese or the Chinese or any other Asiatic people can possibly come. This fact is nowhere more strikingly illustrated than in the South. Here the Negro is supposed to be more deeply displaced than in any other section of country; still, colored people who come into close touch with the whites live with them on terms of the greatest intimacy. These same white people entrust to them their children, their family treasures and their family secrets; in trouble they often go to them for comfort and counsel; in slikness they often rely upon their case. This affectionate relation between the Southern whites and those colored people who came into close touch with them has not been overdrawn in fiction. In plain language, the Negro has about him what might be called winning ways. And those winning ways are not a show of mere sycophancy, but the spring from an overflowing source of love within us that compels some response on the part of those who learn to know us; they are our most effectual arm of defense. "In these days of hy phenated citizenship, when this country seems no longer a nation, but a concentration camp of foreigners, the Nexro takes his place with the original American stocks. He bears no reserved allegiance to any potentate either upon the Nile or the Congo; he is wholly American." The speaker made a sincere plea for "preparedness," and urged the members of his race to develop themselves along all lines that mean for good citizenship. His address made a profound impression upon all who heard him Commencement Day. Wednesday, June 14, was commencement day proper, and the principal address was delivered by the Ritit Re Benjamin J. Kelley, Catholic bishop of Savannah. In referring to the complimentary introduction of the bishop by President R. K. Wright, the bishop said that he was against lawlessness, lynching, and every phase of injustice practiced against the Negro, and would be as long he lives. In the course of his remarks he said: "I admit—and the admission shames me—that the colored people of the South have not been treated by the whites always as justice and Christianity demand, and this recognition imposes upon me the duty of reparation as far as lies in my power; and I have never allowed an opportunity to pass without a statement by me of my feelings/in this matter. We are living side by side in this glorious republic and it is our duty in our daily lives to exemplify those virtues on which the stability of our country depends. Without justice, charity, and forhearance no American spirit is possible." Prof. Otis Ashmore of Savannah delivered the diplomas to forty-eight graduates. The alumny association presented to the school an oil painting of President Wright, which was unveiled by two little children. It was the work of a colored artist, J. H. Adams. The enrollment for the year, representing 94 counties, was 502, the largest in the history of the school. School Makes Progress. Since the school started twenty-five years ago, more than 6,000 students have received instruction at the college, and of this number nearly 700 are graduates of the various departments. They are following almost every line of endeavor from principals of schools to various industrial pursuits. There are fourteen trades taught at the school. In 1891 the school began with three buildings, and since that time fifteen new buildings have been erected, making eighteen in all. This includes the boys' dormitory, domestic science hall, laundry, industrial building, auditorium, dairy barn, professors' cottages, etc. The Georgia State Industrial College is one of the few State institutions which have a full college course. It has already graduated a large number and the college department for 1910-17 will contain 39 freshmen, 8 sophomores, 4 juniors and 6 seniors, a total of 57. The school is enjoying a high degree of popularity. President Wright has succeeded in pleasing the good, will of the leading white and colored people of this city and State. He has just inaugurated a movement for a detention home for homeless and dependent colored children. He is receiving great encouragement, and a large number of checks have been sent for this movement, including one for $1,000. FLORIDA A. & M. COLLEGE TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The Florida Agricultural and Mechanical College, located at Tallahassee, closed its twenty-ninth year June 1 with one of the most notable commencements in its history.

Few people, listening to the performance of a musical program, have any idea as to the work required for even the slightest development of musical talent. Most folks think that the ability to play a musical instrument or sing pleasingly is a natural gift that, like Topsy, "just grown." But not so. A musical genius must apply the hardest sort of study in order to develop that talent, or its fullest capacity can never be attained. A young fellow who has the right idea about the matter of developing his musical ability lives in Washington, D. C., where he is employed as a messenger in the State Department. His name is A. Russell Wooding, and he is a messenger for Secretary of State Eansing. That is, he is a messenger from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. After the latter hour he is a student of music—a talented genius, perhaps, but nevertheless a faithful plugger, endeavoring to train and develop that talent to its highest point of efficiency. According to a letter received from him, of which more anon, he is now twenty-five years old, and the director of the Provisional Band, First Separate Battalion, National Guard, District of Columbia. The ordinary young man, having accomplished this much, would say, "It is enough—I need no more." But not Russell Wooding. He lives to be a musician and composer, and as a writer has put it, he "thinks in harmony, strophes, paeons, fantasia, counterpoint, syncopation and racial melodies." In his letter he says: "Unfortunately, my duties in the office of Secretary of State Lansing are such that my musical endeavors frequently suffer for want of attention, and until I can apply myself exclusively to the study of music I shall always feel that the best has not been done and that I am not the genuine musical. I do not, however, allow this condition of affairs to worry me, because a general compaction of discouragement and abandonment would surely follow." and so he continues to plug away at his studies seeking for that development which will bring him nearer to the goal of his ambitions. He has had instruction on the French horn from the late Julius Schultz, a German musician who played under the great Wagner in the old country. A practical course in band directing under Sol Minister, the noted violinist and house leader of the Belasco Theatre orchestra, followed. For several years young Wooding played the cornet and French horn in the Washington Concert Orchestra, during the successful regime of Harry A. Williams as director. After finishing with Minister he took up the work of organizing and instructing the military band of the First Separate Battalion, and this work he has been engaged in for the past six months. He is continuing his studies. Arthur Tregina is the musical criterion of the famous United States Marine Band, and one of the ablest musicians in the country—a theorist and a composer Under Tregina young Wooding is taking a course in harmony, instrumentation and band theory, having as part of his ambition the desire to become an authority on the work of all instruments. In his letter, referred to above, Mr. Wooding gives some very interesting information concerning his early musical endeavors, and he tells the story in so original a manner that I must, perforce, give his own words. Says he. "My initiation for music dates back twenty-five years to the very day when I arrived on earth. Soon thereafter I cultivated a taste for the jew's-sharp. The mouth-organ displaced the jew's-sharp, and an old dilated bucle displaced several of my perfectly good teeth. In looking through the advertisement columns of various magazines, as was a custom of mine when a boy, I decided to send for a bunch of tun brooch pins to be sold at 10 cents each. An untiring canvass of the entire neighborhood finally disposed of the pins and brought the premium—a made-over-night cornet Two or three jams of wind, and the cornet went up like a balloon. "My next acquisition was a position as janitor of a church. Not over fifteen timesdied the pastor of that church arrive in time to hear my morning exercises in ragtime on the organ. The janitor-organist job succeeded the cornet studies, and a boy who professed no musical aspirations succeeded me as janitor. This put a stop to my musical adventures until I was fortunate enough to have a piano at home, and even then funds for instruction were lacking." This did not discourage the boy, however, for he began a course in self-instruction, helped by a habit of deep and close observation. Playing the piano for private dances helped to provide money for lessons, and before long an orchestra was developed which is still in demand by the best people of Washington. This brings the young musician down to the period, six months ago, when he took up the work of developing the military band. There are about thirty musicians composing this band and already two difficult concert programs have been rendered, a preintentious program prepared for the joint high school commencement, and the band also furnished the music for the annual competitive drill of the high school cadets. He has written some compositions, notably a variation of Coleridge-Taylor's "Deep River" for military band; a rag oddity, "Lead Me," a counterpoint strain of the old hymn, and a "Rippling Waters" waltz. Speaking of this he says: "I want to originate something. What I have composed is negligible except by way of apprenticeship. I want to follow the lead of Coleridge-Taylor. I believe the old Negro melodies may be a good deal toward a foundation for an American music. I may be wrong about it, but I have a notion that syncopation can be finished off and developed as high as counterpoint." His great desire now is to arrange what he terms a "panorama-processional" which is to be an arrangement of compositions by Coleridge-Taylor, Harry Burleigh, Rosamond Johnson, Will Marion Cook, Will Tyers, Ford Dabney, and others, to be played by the battalion band. If Mr. Wooding's plans mature, it is possible that New York City will hear his band in a program, made up entirely of compositions by Negro composers, with his "panorama-professional" as the piece de resistance.

The already famous screen drama, "Where Are My Children", is billed for projection at the Lincoln Theatre, 135th ```markdown ``` street and Lenox avenue, for two days Saturday and Sunday, June 24 and 25. The story, that has created more comment in press and pulpit during the past month than any picture production ever offered to the American public, is already the main topic of conversation among people interested in sociological problems, and it is to be expected that great throngs will clamor for admission when the popular Lincoln opens the box office next Saturday afternoon. Many persons are unable to understand why such a production should not be booked for a full week, but the demand for the sensational success is so great at this time, it is impossible to secure it for any long runs. It will therefore be wise for all who can, to avail themselves of the matinees, as the night performances will no doubt be crowded to capacity of the house. The Harlem theatre goer is quickly becoming adicted to the movie, as is evident by the manner in which the big photoplays are received by the large audiences that nightly frequent the Lincoln, and with the really high-grade vaudieville that is introduced, the person seeking diversion is amply provided for at the popular theatre, where the manager's slogan 'seems to be "nothing too good for my patrons." It is a pleasure to note that no sooner has the big downtown theatres discovered something worth while, announcement is immediately forthcoming that the Lincoln has secured it for an early date, and with the clientile still crowding the cosy playhouse, there is no evidence that the summer season has proven anything but popular and a hit. Violinist of the Lincoln Injured. Mrs. Mildred Gassaway Franklin, the well known and very popular violist of the New Lincoln Theatre Orchestra, has been forced into a few days retirement through an injury to the foremerger of her left hand.

LINCOLN HOUSE NOTES Among other interesting features that attended the closing of the winter's work at Lincoln House 202 West 63rd street, were the entertainments given by the Mother's Clubs. Forty-five mothers from the Stillman and Young Marion's clubs entertained their friends in a most royal fashion. After a short address on "Infant Mortality," by Dr. Martin of the Health Department, the club leader, Mrs Wilson, a Henry, Street Settlement nurse, was presented with a handsome purse by the club members led by Mrs Butler and Mrs Snowden. Refreshments were served and all present spent a very pleasant evening. The Walton Parents' Club, under the direction of Miss Emerson gave a one act comedy, "At the Window," and a Japanese fan drill. Although the weather was not inviting a large audience tended and the players made the evening's entertainment quite worth while. These mothers' organizations have worked faithfully and well during the season for the bettering of conditions for the young of the community and they desire the praise and help of all. Hope is expressed for the speedy recovery and return of Miss Edith Carter, also a Henry Street Settlement nurse, who has directed the Young Marrons' Club for many years.

Eddie Kid Dorsey, the sensational colored lightweight boxer of Philadelphia, and Leo Johnson, the crack local boy, who put up such a thrilling contest at the Vanderbilt A. C. Brooklyn, a week ago, have been matched to meet in a return bout at the Vanderbilt A. C. on Monday evening, June 28. While Dorsey was credited with having the better of their previous encounters, Johnson claims that he was ill at the time of these bouts and rather than disappoint his friends he fulfilled the engagements as arranged, but said he thought he could better in another bout, to which Dorsey readily assented, and another match was arranged. The previous bout was as fast and interesting a lightweight contest as has been staged in Brooklyn of late, and, as both boys have a large local following, a larger crowd than witnessed their previous bout is expected to be on hand to root for their favorites. There will be the usual high-class preliminaries between the best local colored boys available. Red Capa Play Doubleheader The double-header between Philadelphia Red Caps of the Broad Street Station and the Pennsylvania Red Caps of New York was played at the Olympic Field. The game was called at 2:30 p.m. by General H. Forrest, president of the Red Caps League, who threw the first ball. Umpire Pierce of the Lincoln Giants yelled, Play Ball! Up to the sixth inning it seemed like a no-hit game. Armstrong for New York and Ford for Philadelphia were pitting wit against wit, when Tart, for New York, hit a single to center, stealing second, third and home as the Quakers fumbled with the ball. Gray followed suit and came home on a hit from heavy hitting Lane. Score for first game, 2-0. In the second game, Purnell for adelphia, was knocked out of the box and was replaced by Ford. The New York boys being so exultant over their first triumph put in their weakest players in the seventh inning. Alexander, the swift twirler for New York, was given poor support. After allowing only five hits and no score for six innings, the New York team went to pieces. Ford, for Philadelphia, came back strong, tied the score, and won in the tenth inning, 10-7. First Game.

If the writer had the genius of Edison, the electrical wizard, he would connect every young colored man, woman, girl, and older ones, too, with a telephone, by which he could touch a button 'and say to them': "Wake up and do business!!! Buy a 100 lb. sack of raw peanuts, patch them nicely in a pot or in a stove. Put them in 5c. packages, go out and sell them. Bank the profit and repeat the purchase. In a little while you will be able to buy a peanut roaster. You are spending thousands of dollars every day with Greeks and Italians for peanuts. Why not try this easy way to make money where little or no capital is required?" The trouble is that he has no conception of what he should start in business. He imagines that it takes $500 or more to start any sort of business. This is his mistaken idea. There are men today at the head of some of the largest business firms in this country who started out without one dollar of capital. In a business way "lower your buckets" where you are with peanuts, fruits, candies and popcorn. These articles will sell quickly." Washington, D.
