But the present war conditions were more than either, the artisans or the publisher could overcome and so it is that the cups are just now delivered to this office. But now that they are here, they more than make up for the delay, because they are certainly little beauties. They are 919 fine silver, three inches high, and exact duplicates of the most pretentious loving cups which the kids' elders are remembered with when they accomplish something meritorious. The Judges and the Prize Winnors. As will be remembered, the babies were classified in four groups, two of the groups consisting of babies living in Greater New York, and two of babies who live elsewhere. Babies under three years of age were put into one class and those more than three years of age were put into another. More than four hundred photographs were submitted and these were put into the hands of the judges for the making of the awards. The judges were: Miss Maykell McAdoo, New York. Miss Louise Latimer, Flushing. Mrs. James S. Anderson, Williams-bridge. Mrs. Cora B., Winston, New York. Mrs. Maude C. Hall, Brooklyn. Mrs. A. S. Reed, New York. Dr. Gertrude Curtis McPherson, New York. Mrs. Media Dodson, Brooklyn. The board of judges found the task of selection so oneous that it was necessary to hold several meetings before a final decision was reached. These meetings were held at the residence of Miss McAdon, 156 West 131st street, and each photograph received the most careful consideration. The final selections were based on the main idea of the contest. Better babies, not beautiful babies. The result of their deliberations was published in The Age of April 6, and the list of prize winners is as follows: FOR GREATER NEW YORK. L. C. Oscales, Jr., Corona, N. Y.

FLORIDA PEOPLE TO (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) Jacksonville, Fla. - A movement to celebrate the 500th year of the advent of the Negro into this country was organized November 1, 1915, incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida with home office in Jacksonville, Duval county. The object of this association is to promote a celebration in 1010 commemorating the advent of the Negro in this country. DAVIS TELLS WHAT HE DID AT CHICAGO Replies to Question Asked in The Age as to Work of Platform Committee. REDMOND NOT IN ATTENDANCE Davis Charges that S. D. Redmond Failed to Meet Committee of Which He was a Member, and that Delegations Representing the Race Did Not Present Memorials or Petitions. In the Atlanta Independent of July 1, Benjamin J. Davis of Georgia, one of the two representatives of the Negro race, who were members of the Committee on Platform and Resolution at the Republican National Convention, reproduced the news article from Tug Acz of June 22, which told of the failure of the committee to embody in the Republican platform an pronouncement on the rights of the Negro race as one of the fundamental principles for which that party is to stand. Mr. Davis follows this article with a strong and definite statement, showing why nothing was done by the Committee on Platform and Resolutions as far as regards the Negro. Mr. Davis declares simply and forcibly that Dr. S. D. Redmond of Mississippi, the other Negro member, did not attend any of the sessions of the committee. He declares also that W. F. Cozart of Atlantic City is in error in thinking that a colored delegation appeared before the committee. Referring to a delegation which was supposed to have been named by a gathering at the Apnomatox Club, Mr. Davis charges unequivocally that if a committee was appointed it failed to perform its duty. He brings out in his reply that a white committeeman presented an unsigned and unfathered protest against launching and a memorial in favor of the reduction of southern representation in Congress, and when asked by Senator Borah as to the source from whence these papers had come the committee-mim was unable to tell him. So, as nobody signed it and nobody moved to press it, Senator Borah moved to table it which was done. Mr. Davis voting against that action; Mr. Davis says also that Horst W. Wright of in attorney-de-law, was the to appear before the com- was not accompanied by Davis Do? Mr. Davis answers ked in THE AGE as to in the committee, as fol- Committee on Resolutions and is composed of fifty mem- forty-eight of whom were white men, and largely the most represent- ative white men in the country. Dr Redmond, the colored member from Mississippi, never met the committee. I was present at every session and VISITING TEACHERS ATTENDING THE N. E. A.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—According to the record kept by the Division of Records and Research of the Tuskegee Institute there have been during the first six months of the year 25 lynchings. This is 9 less than the number 34, for the same period last year. Of those lynched 23 were Negroes and 2 were whites. In the first six months of 1915 there were 24 Negroes and 10 whites lynched. Five, or one-fifth, of those put to death were charged with rape. Other causes of lynching were slapping a boy, brushing against a girl on the street, insult, charged with attempting to assist son accused of murder to escape, robbing stone, killing officers of the law, and murder. Eight, or almost one-third of the total lynchings occurred in the State of Georgia. Recruiting stations have been opened at 131st street and avenue, 135th street and at 72 West 99th Street.

El Paso, Tex.-Three troopers of the Tenth who have succeeded, after undergoing the worst sort of hardships, in reaching El Paso, are in the Fort Bliss hospital. Their return accounts for most of those who have been missing since the Carrizal fight. Corporal F. X. Cooke, Troop K, was discovered by Mexican soldier near Villa Ahumada with an arm broken and near death from starvation. He was taken to the Juarez jail on Sunday and turned over to the American authorities on Monday. Sergeant D. E. Carrier, Troop C, was ten feet from Captain Boyd when that officer was killed. Farrer fought his way out with a six shooter and walked sixty miles before he was picked up by a relief column. Private Ernest Johnson, Troop K, was not wounded. He was a horse holder under Captain Morey, and when the fight went against his comrades, Johnson, seized a horse and rode twenty-eight hours without water to drink befedre he reached the American base. Farrie and Johnson reached El Paso on Monday. WHITE DESERTERS COMMAND MEXICANS (Special to Trial New York, Acct.) (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.) El Paso, Ohio, Private M. Givicus, Tropo K. Tenth, New York, states that the commander of a detachment of Mexicans at the Carrizal fight was a former soldier of the Twentieth U. S. Infantry. Givens was, among the captured troopers at Carrizal and the prisoners were put in charge of the company commanded by this American. Givens said he asked the man if he had not been at Columbus, N. M., with the Twentieth infantry, and the white American ad hitted that he had deserted at Columbus. Givens stated that he had heard of other white Americans with the Carranza forces. Booker T. Washington, a former pupil (Continued on page two) COLORED NURSES AND RED CROSS WORKERS Colored trained nurses and colored women who desire to serve as volunteer hospital assistants will be given an opportunity to render service during the Mexican troubles if a plan projected by the Lincoln hospital is carried out. The hospital has offered to equip. a base hospital unit of five hundred beds and the services of seventy-five nurses will be required. Graduates from Lincoln and other registered training schools for colored nurses are eligible. Mrs. Adah B. Thoms, assistant superintendent of nurses at Lincoln hospital announces that she will receive applications, which must be made at once, as it is hoped to affect the organization in ten days. Nurses must be between the ages of 25 and 35 years, and must pass a physical examination. Those accepted will not be called from their usual pursuits until the government calls for the unit, and while on duty the nurses are paid a salary and furnished maintenance. Untrained women are given an opportunity to become volunteer Red Cross hospital assistants. Only fifty are required for this service, and they must take a course in Red Cross work. Living expenses are paid but no slay. Full particulars can be secured from Mrs. Thomas, Lincoln hospital, 141st street and Southern Boulevard, New York city. NEGRO CONTRACTORS DO LARGE BUSINESS PHILADELPHIA. Pa—Records kept by only one organization in this show that Negro contractors have handled in Philadelphia during the past two years more than $150,000 in contracts. This by no means represents the volume of work done by Negro workmen, but is simply the amount of contracts given to Negro contractors, who were meeting in open competition the most successful contractors of the white race. Many thousands of dollars paid to Negro workmen cannot be included in this total because the workmen individually secure employment from other sources than from the Negro contractor. Last year Negro contractors, on work that came through, the offices of the Armstrong Association of Philadelphia alone, carried out contracts to the amount of $65,000. Already this year, however, the figures have reached $55,000. The largest single plant totalled $17,000, but a large dairy plant now being figured on will cost approximately $30,000, and other business operations will aggregate more than $50,000. Reference is made to the fact that in 1913 the buildings of the Emancipation Exposition, entailing an outlay of $50,000, were erected in the remarkable time of forty-four days, the work being handled by a Negro contractor. The Armstrong Association, through which these contracts were secured, has offices at Fourth and Cifestnut streets, and at 1519 Lombard street. John T. Emlen is the secretary and treasurer, and A. L. Manley is the industrial secretary. clean clothes, proper care of mouth, nose and throat, and clean, clean homes and good ventilation. SINCE THIS IS A DIRECTION WHICH PRINCIPALLY AFFECTS CHILDREN, PARENTS SHOULD GIVE NO MILK TO THEIR CHILDREN THAT HAS NOT BEEN PREVIOUSLY PASTEURIZED. For after all it is quite possible that the germs of this disease are conveyed through this medium. Children should not be allowed to visit poorly ventilated and overcrowded places, such as churches, motion picture houses, etc. The laity cannot diagnose this disease, the symptoms are too varied. Parents should, therefore, send for a physician when they discover the alightest deviation from normal in their children during this epidemic. SOUTHERN PAPER'S (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) GREENSBORO, N. C. It is very doubtful whether any paper south of the Mason and Dixon line has had the courage and conscience to say as much concerning the bravery of "The Famous Tenth" in Mexico as the Greensboro Daily News, the leading paper in North Carolina. A paragraph and a part of an editorial appearing in that paper were as follows: It would be distinctly unchristian to express the wish this morning, or any other, that the survivors of the Tenth United States cavalry may be afforded an early opportunity to meet plenty of Mexicans upon equal terms. It would be to voice the desire-of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, with heavy interest; for such is the common faith in the Negro troops. But the old Adam is strong in the most of us. THE MEN OF THE TENTH. There is a certain grim satisfaction in the latest stories of how the men of the Tenth cavalry died. That charge against the irrigation ditch, the shattering of the first Mexican line, and the desperate sweep through the town of Carrizal will not soon be forgotten by those Mexicans who saw it. Half a hundred Mexican dead and two carloads of wounded pretty nearly even up the score in so far as numbers are concerned. The Negro troopers proved themselves fighting men in whom the country can take pride. There is a certain satisfaction in that. 25 NEGRO COOKS LOSE (Special to THE NEW YORK ACKL) Mt. GRATINA, Pa.—Twenty-five Negro cooks employed in the commissary department of the Third Brigade, in Mexico, have been her service in Mexico, have been discharged. Some of the men have been in the employ of the National Guard for many years. It is alleged that orders for this action came from the Department at Washington. It can only be surmised that this action is the result of prejudice/ There is some question as to whether the order emanated from Washing is contrary to the spirit an the law. --- adults. Nearly five hundred cases had been reported to the Department of Health up to Tuesday night, and there had been 102 deaths to the same time. The large majority of the cases are in Brooklyn, but the disease is gradually spreading into the other boroughs, and as it is a disease that thrives especially in hot weather, the coming two months of summer means that the health officers will have their hands full. The death rate is 22 per cent, an unusually high percentage. Dr. Haven Emerson, head of the Health Department, has issued 500,000 circulars for distribution to householders, and this is reproduced in these columns. This circular gives the addresses and telephone numbers of offices of the Board of Health, which should be notified as soon as a child gives evidence of being sick. Dr. Robert's Advice. Dr. Eugene P. Roberts, 242 West 53d street, in response to a request from The Age, has written a short warning about this fearful malady, 'which is printed on this page. He warns against the incurring of the disease, as it is, absolutely incurable, the result, where death does not ensue, being permanent deformity and paralysis. Parents are urged to read these warnings and take particular heed thereto. Read the daily papers to keep constantly in touch with the situation and keep out of infected localities. The Health Department has issued orders prohibiting any child under 10 years of age from attending the moving picture theatres, and it is advisable that they be kept away from all gatherings. Dr. Bertram H. Waters, of the bureau of preventable diseases of the Health Department, said: "It is not difficult to recognize typical cases of the disease. Here is a common picture: A child previously perfectly well complains of a little stomach trouble. It is feverish, restless and irritable and in the morning the mother finds that the child cannot stand or perhaps that it cannot move its arms. "Some of the victims die within a day or two from paralysis of respiration. The others go on, the paralysis, at first spreading to other muscles, then remaining stationary. Finally, after months of a so wooondescence, the disease passes, leaving the child more or less crippled for life. SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y. Saratoga Springs, N. Y.—The Rev. W. H. Washington of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church of Saratoga Springs, N. Y. preached his farewell sermon on July.

The first game of real baseball was played Saturday, July 1, at Parker's park, between the Royal Giants, (our boys), and the Plainfield Giants, (our girls), and not a man either side reached second base up to the fifth inning, when the little right-fielder, Foster Kline, came to bat aid pounded out a two-bagger, bringing in two runs, and in the seventh inning he cleared the bases with a three-run out, and the demons to bat in the eighth and in the wagon tongue, bringing in runs that made the A. C's lose heart. In fact, every man did his best and gained laurols for themselves. Manager William Kline feels proud of his team and Capitol, and he did a little pitcher, the phenomenal pitcher of the Royals, held the A.

Washington Memorial Fund can do so now. There are many such individuals. The $250,000 which is the portion allotted to the Negro race, is many thousands of dollars short. Our white friends have nearly completed their $1,750,000. Don't let our race be charged with ungratefulness. Five cents from each man, woman and child would bring more than the required sum. If each one will begin now to contribute his or her mite the sum will be easily raised. Give to-day and to-morrow. Give until the sum is raised. Don't delay. This is meant for you. Help make your race big. Do it to-day and urge your friends to do the same. This Memorial Fund means the education of the young men and women of our race. It means the permanency of Tuskegee Institute of which Booker T. Washington was the founder. Now begin to give your nickels, dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollars. Send to The New York Age or to Emmett J. Scott at Tuskegee. PARTY UNION. The getting together of Roosevelt and Hughes is a sure augury of complete party reunion. From now on throughout the campaign the Republican party will present a more and more solid front to the opposition. There are, also indications that the new spirit of harmony will include ex-President Taft. These developments have struck dismay to the hearts of the Democrats, and justly, for they are certain to bring about Republican victory. A LAUDABLE CAUSE. It is pleasing to note that Mr. James K. Hackett, one of the foremost American actors, proposes to give a monster benefit at the Century Theatre for the benefit of the families of American soldiers, killed in Mexico. In speaking of this proposed benefit, Mr. Hackett said: "There have been many benefits, Belgian, Irish, German, French, British—all kinds and descriptions, to which the wonderful generosity of the American public has responded in their characteristic style, notably the Allied Bazaar, which has just come to an end and which raised one and a half million dollars. Good! But nobody seems to have thought of our own boys who have been killed in the Mexican fracas and who may be killed in the forthcoming apparently unavoidable encounter. Therefore, let us try to do a little something to show our good friends at the front that they are not forgotten. They are good American soldiers. If Mr. Kahn will give me permission to use the Century Theatre I will arrange a benefit convenient to the management and myself—I to play 'The Bishop's Candlesticks,' with some other features to be yet arranged. The object of this benefit is not to endow the American army by the funds that may be obtained at that particular benefit performance, but to start an action that blocked by a principle." when also that it was the death four-four movers that aroused Ritchie At Van order is effort, makes VERY IMPRUDENT. President Wilson opened his speech at the New York Press Club banquet last week with the following remark: "I realize that I have done a very imprudent thing; I have come to address this thoughtful company of men without any preparation. whatever." Now, if it had been the President's intention to make a speech about "cabbages and kings and other things," such a remark would have made a splendid opening for his after-dinner effort. But since it was his purpose to discuss the questions upon which the well-being and safety of the nation now depend, it is hard to understand why he would consciously and confessedly do "a very imprudent thing." But this opening remark might be overlooked if it were not for the fact that what followed was very imprudent. The President expressed quite freely his disinclination to use force against Mexico; in fact, he gave the impression that he did not consider that anything could arise out of the present situation to make him decide to use extreme force. There was no necessity for it, nor can we see any wisdom in letting Mexico gain such an impression just at this juncture. If you are in an altercation, it may be humane on your part to decide that you won't hit your opponent very hard, but it is imprudent to let him know it; at least, before the trouble is over. Some parts of Mr. Wilson's speech were nothing less than pathetic in the self-confession of weakness revealed. For instance, he said: "Of course it is the duty of the government, which it will never overlook, to defend the territory and people of this country. It goes without saying that it is, the duty of the administration to have constantly in mind with the utmost sensitiveness every point of national honor. "But, gentlemen, after you have said and accepted these obvious things, your program of action is still to be formed. When will you act, and how will you act?" We have not read the Constitution of the United States recently, but, if we remember correctly, a man is elected president for the exact purpose of answering the questions which Mr. Wilson asks. For three years Mr. Wilson has been in the Mexican mess; by this time he ought to have a program of action formed, he ought, by now, know what to do and when and how to do it. That's what he was elected president for. The country does not want war with Mexico or any other nation, but neither does it want such a display of wabbling and weakness and indecision.

Ea- ing to cause you more trouble than This was one Fourth of July on which the American Eagle could not raise his head and spread his tail and scream; his voice is now that of a cooing dove. Funny, the Democrats were at one time relying on Roosevelt's running to defeat Hughes; now they pretend to be relying on his refusal to run for the same result. Has it occurred to you that the candidates on the Republican ticket are "Charlie" Hughes and "Charlie" Fairbanks, and on the Democratic ticket they are "Tom" Wilson and "Tom" Marshall? Or did you know that before he dropped the Tom. and emphasized the Woodrow, Wilson was known as Thomas W. Wilson? We see no reason why the Washington Administration should evince such impatience at Carranza's delay in complying with its demands that he state his intentions toward American troops in Mexico. It seems that wiping out a detachment of American soldiers would remove any doubt concerning his intentions from anybody's mind, except Woodrow Wilson's. The new law federalizing the National Guard, which went into effect July 1 is another piece of Democratic national Jim Crow legislation. By it, even those colored men who were enlisted as cooks in Southern militia companies are forced out of service. Many officers of these companies are complaining, and are in a quandary as to what they are going to do to fill their places. Easy, easy, officers; such laws are going to cause you more trouble than that. .

And does it not also contain Some members of the Russian Duma, who recently visited France, had a little surprise which they evidently will not soon forget, as related in the following despatch from Paris: Paris, May 30—A story is being told in connection with the recent visit of the Russian members of the Duma. They expressed a wish to meet their French confreres and it was arranged that all Deputies who could call on the Russians one evening. The first French Deputy to arrive proved to be a colored man, which evidently surprised the Russians a little. The second to be ushered in was also a man of color. After a short pause the door opened again and a third colored Deputy appeared. Then came some thirty white Deputies. The members of the Duma at first believed that the French Chamber must be peopled by colored men, until it was explained that French colonies in Africa and America send some five colored representatives to the Parliament. Others besides the members of the Russian Duma will be surprised to learn that France, after all, is the only great democratic country in the world. Does not this despatch also contain an explanation of the readiness of colored men from all the French colonies to fight and die for the mother country? And does it not also contain a lesson for the United States? BRYAN RIGHT THIS TIME. rhaps, given our readers the idea Bryan was incapable of applying the nation any principles outside by the infant class in 'Sunda did it wittingly, for we conscient now, however, we are forced to mo this on account of the course take invitation from the American Uni We have, perhaps, given our readers the idea that, in our opinion, William J. Bryan was incapable of applying to the vital questions now before the nation any principles outside of those found in the catechism used by the infant class in Sunday school. If we have done so, we did it wittingly, for we conscientiously believed it to be the case. Now, however, we are forced to modify that opinion. We must do this on account of the course taken by Mr. Bryan in answer to the invitation from the American Union Against Milli- bismarism for him to be one of six citizens from the United States to meet at El Paso, with a like number of prominent citizens from Mexico to take steps toward adjusting the differences between the two countries. Mr. Bryan, in declining to serve, said that he did not think such action at this time could do any good. In arriving at this conclusion, Mr. Bryan used common sense instead of mushy sentiment, for it is plainly evident that a joint commission such as the one proposed could do nothing. The present crisis between the two governments is due to the fact that Mexican raiders have invaded the territory of the United States and killed American citizens on American soil. A joint commission would not need to study the situation in order to reach the decision that the invasion of American territory by Mexican raiders is wrong, and should cease. But the Mexican Government freely acknowledges that it is wrong; and as freely acknowledges its inability to put a stop to it. The United States Government protests against it as wrong, but the presence of forty thousand American troops along the border and in Mexico have not had the desired effect. It is likely, then, that the Mexican raiders would be influenced by a decision handed down by a peace commission? Perhaps, nobody knows what will straighten out the Mexican tangle, but everybody ought to know that a joint peace commission, as the one proposed, won't do it. JOHN BROWN'S SON.

His shoulder was shattered by a bullet in the battle of Black Jack, May 18, 1856, so Salmon was not with his father at Harper's Ferry. So far as is known he has not lived in Kansas since. He and his wife, 77 years old, are eking out an existence at 2024 East Court street, Portland, Ore. The despatch goes on to state that Salmon Brown's wife does sewing in order to help them keep soul and body together. We, as a race, often have the accusation brought against us that we show no gratitude for benefactions; if doing so costs dollars and cents; and there is much truth in the accusation. But is it possible that there are not enough colored people in the United States who would send dimes enough to this old couple to make up for them a sum of two or three hundred dollars?. Such an amount for them now would be a small fortune. THE "GEORGIA PEACH." Two or three times each summa newspapers have carried a despite following: St. Louis, June 27.—Ty Cobb stands to reach a fan who he chaired the first game of today's doubleheader. He was prevented from doing s players. Ty Cobb is the famous "Geor of the Detroit baseball club, and batter and base runner in the game enough for Mr. Cobb; two or three upon to let it be known that he is one who brooks not the slighter makes a remark about him which the gentleman from Georgia selected hands on and starts for the grand. Some of these days, the poli players are not going to prevent grandstand, and the result will be stand in a condition which will moment from active participation in Two or three times each summer for the past several years, the newspapers have carried a despatch substantially identical with the following: St. Louis, June 27.—Ty Cobb attempted to climb into the stands to reach a fan who he claimed had been abusing him during the first game of today's doubleheader between Detroit and St. Louis. He was prevented from doing so by police, umpires and fellow-players. Ty Cobb is the famous "Georgia Peach," the great center fielder of the Detroit baseball club, and acknowledged to be the greatest batter and base runner in the game. But this is not fame and glory enough for Mr. Cobb; two or three times each season he feels called upon to let it be known that he is a hot-blooded Southern gentleman, one who brooks not the slightest indignity. So when some fan makes a remark about him which any other player would not notice, the gentleman from Georgia selects the heaviest bat he can lay his hands on and starts for the grandstand. Some of these days, the police, the umpires, and his fellow-players are not going to prevent Mr. Cobb from climbing into the grandstand, and the result will be that he will come out of the grandstand in a condition which will make necessary his permanent retirement from active participation in the national game. CHANCE FOR NEGRO LABOR. In all sections of the South the United States Employment Service is securing colored men for railroad work and other labor in the North. These colored men are being secured to fill the places heretofore occupied by the immigrant labor from Europe. The war has taken the European laborer out of the field, and that circumstance gives the Negro his chance. If the Negro can displace the Italians and Greeks and Poles on the railroads and other public works in the North, it will be a big economic advance for the race in this section of the country. The colored laborer now has the chance, will he measure up to it? NO TROUBLE WHATEVER. Some of the French papers are exercising their wit at the expense of President Wilson and his difficulties with Carranza. One of them comments upon the sharp and caustic manner in which Carranza demanded the withdrawal of the American forces, but adds the remark that Mr. Wilson is not the man to be troubled by such a thing as that, his ten thousand word reply being the work of only a few minutes for him. An American lady at Startford-on-Avon showed even more than the usual American fervor. She had not recovered when she reached the railway station, for she remarked to a friend as they walked on the platform: "To think that it was from this very platform the immortal bard would depart whenever he journeyed to town!" - Sacred Heart Review.

WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY QUESTIONS FOR MR. HUGHES. To the Editor of the Age: Before Mr. Hughes' nomination I heard many people of our race expressing their disapproval of his candidacy. Their contentions were that he is unfavorable to the colored people. They based this statement on facts like these: That he disapproved their idea of a colored regiment and didn't appoint a colored man to office while governor. We can say whether we believed or not he defended himself creditably at the time in stating his unwillingness to endorse a colored regiment. His was an argument for economy. As to his appointments, he was very particular in choosing-white men to represent his administration in the State service. He attempted more than one time to get rid of some of them at a great sacrifice to his political and personal popularity. Certainly he would be so with a colored man, who would have to be endorsed by some of his book class. Such would not have been the case. Would any man looking for a creditable record find much difficulty in choosing the right man? To appoint a professional politician, as would have been the probable case in his selection of colored man, would have met with much criticism, and charges of inconsistent policies would have been made. I agree that he should have chosen one of us for some place, although I shall not rebuke him for not doing so. What I wish to say is this: Trust no man. We have confidence in Mr. Hughes; we hope to have more. But let us do our plain duty first. Let us secure the service of some of our representative citizens. And let us ask Mr. Hughes a few serious and well-meaning questions. CALL A CONFERENCE. To the Editor og THE AGE: Please allow me to say just a few words to our race leaders of America. I have been prayerfully considering the situation which confronts us as a race in this country. When the news of the wiping out of the 10th Cavalry was flashed over this country, a few days ago it showed that our race has ever been ready and willing to shed the first blood when the dignity of the United States must be upheld. It must be admitted that it was quite a blunder for the present Administration in its dealings with the Mexican question to allow a company of the best soldiers of the C. W. ALEXANDER. SEVENTH ANNUAL SESSION JUNE 12 TO JULY 21, 1916 OVER 400 PRESENT EACH SESSION DURING LAST THREE YEAR land to be shot down under such circumstances. I believe now is the time for the conservative men of our race out of every State to meet together in a conference, behind closed doors for the first day at least, and there agree and decide upon something to present to Congress and the white citizens of this country that might arouse their consciousness that they would be willing to make the United States Constitution the instrument of protection that it declares itself to be in dealing with the civil, and political rights of black men as well as white men. It is pathetic and at the same time a travesty on American justice when our men offer themselves a willing sacrifice to revenge wrongs done white Americans in Mexico, that the country demands retribution and wreaks vengeance on Mexicans who kill white man and tolerates and silently endorses the lynching of black men under its own flag nearly every week in the country. The President, and Congress, that 'are as silent as the sphynx on outrages committed on black men right in this country, speak in tinder tones and send a nation of men to avenge the wrong done white Americans in Mexico. But we who are not at the front must slumber in our tents, but rise up and demand the proper protection of black Americans in America as well as protection of white Americans in Mexico. I hereby appeal to every race-loving man and woman to let me know what you think of such' a conference being held in the city of Washington or some other convenient place. A joint meeting of the Baltimore and Washington Ministers' Conference on June 26, 1916, endorsed such a conference of the leaders of the race and have advised that Dr. William Alexander of Baltimore, Md., and the writer should call such a meeting. I will be glad to hear from anyone who approves of the plan. This conference will not be for newspaper notoriety or personal gain, but to plan for concerted action in arousing the American people to a sense of justice in the treatment of black citizens. Yours for the right of the Negro race, (Rev.) W. H. JERNAGIN, 430 Q street, N. W., Washington, D. C. From present indications the twentieth century will permanently settle the destiny: all races and, nations for generations yet unborn. Especially is this true of the weaker dependent races, whose fates in a large measure are now in their own hands. Somewhere it is written that there will be wars and rumors of wars until the end of time, and during these bloody conflicts the under dog must bear the brunt of the hardship. We are on the verge of a political campaign. The American people are asked to decide whether or not they wish peace without honor, or war, and while declaring our extreme neutrality and unable to manage our own household, we are about to intermedire more seriously into the affairs of a weaker republic. It hardly seems reasonable that the American people are so blind to their own infancy in the eyes of the world as to even think of demanding law and order in Mexico, who night in the United States peonage, lynching, Ku Klux Klan and other atrocities are daily happening. Afro-Americans in this country have lost all of their staund friendships in the Congress of the nation, and, according to the New York Sun, as a political asset we are not wanted much by may party and have been left to our own fate. When we think of the matter seriously, this is in a large measure true, because even the most unobserving can see that no matter what befalls us, there is no loud protesting voices, protest meetings, demanding that equality before the law which is the right of every American citizen regardless of his race, color or previous condition of servitude. Yet, leaving her own house unclean, her citizens dissatisfied at their treatment, America has the audacity to raise large sums of money for the war sufferers abroad, while right at home there are more than ten million black hands uplifted with but one request, "Give us a fair chance; we are citizens of this Republic and loyal; not a member of the race has ever even been suspected of treason, and at present in Mexico members of our race are gladly giving their lives for the Union." America has paid no heed to the cry of the loyal Negro for a man's chance. The only time we can get a hearing is during a political campaign, and as a rule we are cajoled into believing that the spirit of Charles Sumner, Wendell Phillips, W. Lloyd Garrison and Abraham Lincoln still exist, only to wake up to the fact that we have trusted too much to men and not enough to ourselves with the guidance of God. The Bible contains a passage which says, "Put not your trust in men, but in God," and it would do well for us to read this passage seriously and return to the God of our fathers if we ever expect to become more than de facto citizens of this republic and eventually be wiped out by oppression and cruelty and intrigue just like the American Indians; the sooner we realize this, raise up for ourselves a great leader, one whose soul and life is dedicated to the uplift of his people, one who had rather be identified with his own race than to accept a political bribe for delivering them as political chattels, one who will not be afraid to demand openly in the market place a square deal, equality before the law, a trial by his peers for every Afro-American accused of any crime. This is no time for nice words and living in the past. The past is history, the future will be history, and we must see that its future annals will not tell our children that we were the "perpetual football of American politics." We have been left to our own fate, and the hand of fate demands that every Negro—black, brown, yellow or red-haired—combine into one solid body and with their trust in God, and with their motives and actions just led by a competent leadership, unselfish, devoted to its cause, not to be intimidated, not to be bribed, not to be swerved a single inch from its straight and just course, refusing to equivocate; standing upright and abreast as one mighty army, a real Gideon band whose motto shall THE RUSSELL GIBSON DIME FUND FOR BOOKER T.

The American people know that a chain is no stronger than its weakest link. The Afro-American is a link in that chain, and he is a link that cannot be removed. God, the Maker of races and nations, has placed him here and he will remain here, not always in servility, not in peonage, not in contempt, not always with the door of hope shin in his face, but God is going to, in His own way, bring about the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, and this race, despised, reviled, harassed, outraged and persecuted, will be judged not by its black face or kinky hair, but it will be judged absolutely upon its merit like all other races. ARTHUR G. SHAW. 147 West 132d street, New York. To Young Men of South Carolina. To the Young Colored Men of Bambert County and the State of South Carolina: I want to call your attention to the fact that the flag of the United States is being insulted, our coast towns raided and burned, our citizens murdered or a detachment of our soldiers or righteous mission decoded and practically shot to pieces. This is enough to stir any loyal American citizen to action. Being citizens of the United States and of South Carolina, I feel that it is the duty of the colored young men in our county and State to volunteer their services to our President and our country for the protection of our flag and the safety of the lives, the property and the pursuit of happiness of every American citizen everywhere on the globe, believe it would be a great thing if Governor Manning, the great Governor of South Carolina, would issue decree for the organization of a colored regiment to be properly officered and trained for immediate service on the border of Mexico the invasion same. If such call is made, I want to ask that the patriotic young colored men of South Carolina volunteer for service and support our President and our flag. E. D. JENKINS. Voorhees Industrial School, Denmark S. C. THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM. To the Editor of THE AGE: Shakespeare says, "What fools mortals be," and I believe it was Carlyle who once wrote that "England composed of thirty-six million people most of whom are fools." When I read of the disappointment and the condemnation of the Committee on Platform and Resolutions in the late Republican National Convention by some of our would-be leaders, I wondered some of us don't fall in the class characterized by Shakespeare and Carlyle. The platform of the Republican party in 1911 contained a clause regarding the civil and political rights of the Negro. But the platforms of the Democratic and Progressive parties were as dumb as a clam on this subject. What did the Negro in the North East and West who can vote do in the Presidential campaign? And also did those do who were fortunate enough to get on the registration basis here in the South, where as a race they are disfranchised! Lister! Three-fourths of them were straightway and voted for Mr. Roosevelt and his social justice policy, and other political vagaries, at the same time endorsing the attitude he took in the convention when he kicked the Southern Negro out of doors with the hopes of breaking the solid South by gaining votes for himself. Then, besides, one half of the remaining four, led by Bishop Walters, were entrapped in the Democratic fold, and voted for Mr. Wilson. This is the record, as we all know. Now, how can any Negro with a thimbleful of gray matter in his cranial consistently charge the Republican party in convention assembled with forlorning the race, when more than three-fourths of them abandoned, the party in 1918 notwithstanding the party in its platform save unmistakable evidence of being an advocate of the political and civil rights of the Negro, while the other party platforms were conspicuously silent. The memories of politicians are usually long; when it suits their convenience. As a matter of fact, I surmise that those in charge of the Republican platform were of the opinion that they are now under no special obligation to the Negro voter, in view of his conduct in the last presidential campaign, and they govern themselves accordingly. So there you are. CILLS, H. MOORE, Greensboro, N. C. BIGGEST STATUE IN CUBA.

Atlanta, GA — A group of friends gave Bishop J. S., Flipper a very pleasant surprise on Tuesday night. After a repeat they presented tokens of oatme and read the following resolutions: Whereas the loyal men of Georgia were true to instructions, using their in- fluence and suffrage to return our cheffair to, the Sixth Episcopal Distri- ct, and, whereas, the leader of the Atlanta Georgia Conference with the leaders of the other confessors in Georgia and the connection united in this worthy endeavor, hoping to give momentum, to, a greater African Methodism and, whereas, the Conte- nial Conference has resigned.

That we, who among others stood in behalf of his worthy endeavors, rumors to the contrary notwithstanding, welcome him to do a greater work. Be it further resolved, That we give hearty expression of our appreciation for his work in the past, to-wit: (1) the impetus given to the Christian ideal of friendship and brotherhood; (2) his encouragement of and insistence upon preparedness in the Church; this not conceived by any means to be merely information received from books, but a clean, consecrated life in which Christian graces are evident, in which experience has due consideration, and in which the call-of the living God is a pronounced factor; (3) his answering loyalty to and support of the educational system of Georgia; while the "heathen raged and people imagined vain things," he stood like Gibraltar in its behalf, thus preventing antipathy between Church and school, the two dominant factors in our civilization; (4) the Sunday School and League work have been placed in proper relationship to the Church life of our time; (5) he is allowing men to fill positions on the basis of merit and not allowing rings or cliques to dictate the policy of this diocese. Be it further resolved. That the undersigned parties pledge themselves to support Morris Brown University, the rich legacy of our Church sires; and be it known that we enter protest against any malignity directed towards the institution, calculated to discredit or impede its progress. Be it further, resolved. That we request adequate consideration at the hands of our beloved Bishop in all things pertaining to Church welfare, feeling that by the grace of God we will shoulder whatever is committed to our care. Be it also resolved. That we most bitterly condemn those pretending to be in harmony with plans for success in Georgia, and yet seek privately every available means to thwart every plan which does not coincide with their own selfish ends. Be it resolved. That we place ourselves on record as standing uncompromisingly for the principles herein outlined and hitherto promulgated, and that we are united to sink, or swim, survive or perish, live or die, if need be, for these principles and for the personet which has been conspicuous in the establishment of them.

College, Greensboro, June 20-22. The programs rendered during the session were very interesting. They embraced subjects on nearly every phase of education, such as primary methods and elementary education, grammar school, normal and college departments. Their were experts in each of these special fields to give information, and discuss for the benefit of the teachers the particular benefits of each department. To help the experts in their particular lines, there were also special speakers for the evening sessions, including Dr. James H. Dillard of the James Foundation Fund; J. Y. Joyner, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, C. N. Newbold and E. E. Sam of the State Board of Education, R. E. McLair, grand master Masons of North Carolina and Col. James H. Young. The real latter day of the session was on Friday, set apart for the rural school work. The first speaker on the program was Dr. A. M. Moore of Durham, who is secretary-treasurer of the Rural School Department of the Association. He reviewed the work of the year, and spoke of the aid that had been given by the State Department of Education, through the efforts of Supt. J. Y. Joyner, Profs. Newbold and Sams. He spoke at length of the improvements that had been made in rural school conditions during the year, and dwelt at some length on the duty of the State to educate its colored citizens. Charles H. Moore, State inspector of colored schools, followed Dr. Moore, and rendered a comprehensive report on the conditions as he had found them in various sections of the State, and stated that when bad conditions in the Negro schools were reported to the State Board of Education at Raleigh, they were promptly corrected. His report was warmly received, and commended by the Association. C. J. Calloway was present at the afternoon session." He is head of the Extension Department at the Tuskegee Institute, and was sent here by the authorities at Tuskegee to study and get information concerning the workings of the school extension movement. He made an extensive talk in regard to the department of which he is director, in the meantime giving the history of the establishment of the Rosenwald fund for the improvement of rural schools, how and where it has been used. After his address, Mr. Calloway suggested that the association send a fraternal delegate to the Alabama Teachers' Meeting in April. The association elected Prof. Moore, State inspector of schools, as the delegate. The following officers were re-elected for the ensuing year: J. B. Dudley, president; Calvin S.

Moore, State agent of the rural school extension work for North Carolina among the colored people. Mr. Moore said: "Dear Mr. McCoy: I notice you say in your Raleigh correspondence to the New York Ake this week that the State Superintendent contributed $500 after a conference, contributed $500 to his salary. Please make haste to correct this. The State does not contribute one farthing towards my salary, nor has it promised anything. My salary is paid out of the money which Dr. A. M. Moore secured through pledges made to him last summer and fall by the men and women of our race to promote the work. I regret, however, to state that there is yet unpaid $500 of those pledges made to Dr. Moore, men and fall for the enforcement of this work by those who pledged certain amounts, withstanding they are adequately asked to pay up by Dr. A. M. Moore, secretary and treasurer of this fund." The writer wishes to correct the mistake he made, and says in explanation that he wrote the item from information received from what he thought was a reliable source. It is hoped that the more than one hundred thousand Negroes in North Carolina will rally to Dr. A. M. North Carolina putting his whole soul and energy in the cause of education for the Negroes in a few mobile-spirited school teachers, business men and women of the State. One dollar sent to Dr. Moore by every Negro of North Carolina would enable him to keep her.
