NASHVILLE, Teen—Nearly two thousand and Negroes gave Charles E. Hughes, the Republican nominee for President, an enthusiastic welcome and listened to a fifteen-minute speech by Mr. Hughes at Haddley Park to first University student in the school, which the speaker told his heirs, that he was for a government that stood for equality in all things and for all people, irrespective of race or creed.
Mr. Hughes avoided political issues, dwelling on American citizenship and lending such great Americans as Abraham Lincoln and Booker T. Washington was presented with beauty roses, the gift of the colored school children of Nashville. The Fisk Jubilee Singers furished the musical program.
The Rev. Mr. M. W. Gilbert made the introductory speech, which was in happy, joyful, and lively fashion, and presented by prominent state and colored men of the city, including ex-Governor Hooper.
The following committee escorted the Republican nominee from the Hermitage Hotel to the park: Chairman Tayler, A. N. Johnson, chairman colored committee; J. C. Najper, M. W. Gilbert; Malcolm J. W. Young, P. F. H. Bonds, J. W. Whitfield, D. W. Berry, E. W. D Isaac, L. J. Johnson, G. H. Bandy, S. P. Harris, W. H. Allison, W. N. Sanders, W. H. Sherrod, G. W. Bonds, J. W. Whitfield, D. W. Phillips, W. W. Ellington, S. W. Toney, S. J. Tener, W. D. Hawkins, C. N. Langston, J. W. Russell, Robert Williams, R. L. Mayfield, J. W. Childress, Henry Robertson, W. T. Beck.
Mr. Hughes' Address.
Higher spoke as to Mr. Citizens: "It is with Mr. Charman, a pleasure that I come to this educational center. I remember as a boy listening to the melodies of the jubilee songs. I can now recall 'Roll, Jordan, Roll,' which they used to roll out with such wonderful effect. It has always been my desire to see Fisk University and the become better, more uniform units which are afforded in this favored place. I did not anticipate that I should have the special pleasure of meeting again my old friend, Dr. Gilbert, whom I knew so well. Dr. Gilbert, and I assure you I very deeply appreciate his very generous words of introduction. As I recall the day I met him, he was as a boy I listened to those distinguished makers of melody. I think of the tremendous progress that has been achieved by the colored people of this land. Too little attention has been given in conversation with the consideration of our problems to this very important program to me it represents an exaggeration and an imprecision with the hope in a successful solution of many of our difficult problems.
I am told on very high authority that there are now one million colored farmers with farm property of the value of one billion and a half dollars. I understand you have church property of the seventy-five millions. You are treasured in the various fields of life. I believe you have some forty thousand school teachers, some twenty thousand clergymen, some five thousand doctors, some fifteen hundred lawyers, upwards of twenty-one thousand in the real estate business. I understand that you are conducting business of forty thousand acres of fifty newspapers and other publications. Considering the conditions that restricted little more than one-half century of progress which shall fill with the every American heart. It holds promise of the future. It promises educational through which we may be begiven this progress will be continued greatly advanced.
Believe in Neooro's Advancement.
You have schools of, agriculture and
industry, opportunity for higher edu-
cation. Now, in all this I most thoroughly believe. There is nothing that makes for the advancement of the colored people of this nation that I do not earnestly desire. I think that the lesson which must be learned, by you, as by others, is the hard lesson of industry and perseverance in adapting yourselves to all the activities of life, and in becoming agents for the advancement in every practical direction in the communities in which you live.
Now, there is no easy road to success in the attainment of what is worth while. From my earliest years when I first began to read at the knees of my honored father, of whom Dr. Gilbert spoke, I have been working hard. I have never known the time when the strain of burden was not upon me. When I was not burden by a wilde hour than seemed possible to be done in the endeavor to realize the ideals which my father placed before me. There is no different law of attainment for the black than for white. It is the work of study; it is the lesson of thrift; it is the lesson of hard work and citizenhip; it is the lesson of aptitude; it is the lesson of special knowledge and training. I want the colored people of this land, in every useful activity, to be adapted to it, to be fitted for their work, to progress by showing their aptitude, their training and their knowledge. I want them in every form of effort which is essential in our civilized community, by the power of the thrift of their character, by their honesty and fidelity, to be commended as they should be commended to the entire people of this country.
"We have many, many difficulties. I believe it was that great leader, Booker T. Washington, whom I had the pleasure of knowing, who said that freedom was not bequeathed to us, but it is great truth in that statement. It means this, as I understand it, that no one can confer upon another the blessings of freedom; they have got to be won by individual qualification. We need in our homes the ability to be able to need to have in every direction in which we apply our talent efficiency.
Wanta An Honest Ballot.
"We want thrift and honesty; we want honesty with respect to the ballot. I want an honest and a pure ballot. We desire whenever there is a particular thing to be done, to prove that it can be done. All that you have to do, in my humble judgment, is to take advantage of each opportunity, and to have to do, do it so well that you command the admiration of everyone who knows about it. That is the only rule that you can give a lay or a man for success in this world. It is not-looking at the mountain top ten miles away, it is looking at the next step, it is looking at the opposing side at the duty of tomorrow; it is always measuring like a man and like a woman to the task of the moment that builds character, that insures respect, that wins general esteem. Black men and women can do that. They are doing-wonderfully in these various avenues of progress. I have to take advantage of educational opportunities." I want to see these opportunities extended. I want to see them practical. "It is well that you have higher educational opportunities, but do not neglect the things that lie close to you in connection with the everyday necessities of life. It is the little things that in the past made you that make together the real things that make the community. It is what the man does with the time when he is not crowded by anybody that tells the story of what he makes of himself. It is how he employs his time, the way he discipline himself that determines what he ultimately achieve and when we work together as a great to-operative enterprise in this land where everyone must do his part.
"I say to you that I stand, if I stand for anything, for equal and exact justice to all, I stand for the maintenance of the rights of all American citizens re-
gardess of race or color. The one word that I love above all others is the word 'justice'. We want in this country what is right. :
"I am sure you do not wish particular things done because of color. You want women to be such fair and decent and just treated as will make you proud of your manhood and womanhood.
"In connection with the work that I have spoken of, education—with respect to the various activities of life, I give you the best of wishes. I said there is no color line in good work. Do good work. Be thrifty; be honest. Never let anyone have the right to doubt your word. Be diligent. Watch every opportunity to improve your mind. Do every task thoroughly. Never slight anything because someone is not looking. Be thorough, be honorable, and you will honor American citizenship."

MAY LOSE LIGENSE FOR DRAWING COLOR LINE
TO BE SUED IN LOCAL COURTS
Dr. and Mrs. L. W. Hathcock of Dayton, Ohio, Making It Decidibly Uncomfortable for Ernest Gumpel.
Because he would not let Dr. and Mrs. L. W. Hathcock of Dayton, O. ride, in his sight-seeing car, Ernest Gumpel is to be made a defendant in the courts in civil and criminal proceedings, and Commissioner of Licenses Bell is now considering whether he should take away Gumpel's license for drawing the color line.
Dr. and Mrs. Hathcock are not the kind to be discriminated against, and you cannot protest in the proper manner. Gumpel did not think he would be prosecuted for denying the Ohio visitors the right to ride in his car. Since the incident has assumed serious proportions for him, he has adopted the usual alibi of claiming no offense was meant to the couple and that he was perfectly willing to let them ride.
The coming of August 30 Mr. and Mrs. Hathcock who were enjoying the sights of New York, decided to go to Chinatown. After approaching several cars near Broadway and Forty-first street and being given various, excuses for not being received as passengers, they finally approached the car owned by Gumpel. Upon starting to enter it they were told the car was not going to Chinatown. Consequently, they assumed the conduct that they would then go to Coney Island. Then they were informed that the car was going to the garage.
Despite the different and conflicting statements made by the conductor the couple entered the car and took seats. Then they were bluntly told that no合格 policeman was summoned, and the visitors were advised to report the matter to the License Department. The incident was taken up and pushed by John T. Clark of the Urban League, and a hearing was held by Committee in favor of the police in training. On the witness stand Gempel gave testimony that he was perfectly willing to take Dr. and Mrs. Hathcock but that the car was chartered by a party. Deputy Commissioner Drennan, who conducted the cross examination, dealing with Gumpel showed that he did not put much credence in his testimony.
Dr. and Mrs. Hathcock contemplate prosecute Gumpel in the local courts.
MOREHOUSE COLLEGE
NEW YORK CLUB FORMED
A meeting of the recently organized
Morehouse College New York Club was
held at the office of the National Urban
League on the evening of August 23.
This club was organized to keep alive
the Morehouse spirit, and fellowship
among the men and friends of the college
in and around New York, to make
work for its financial aid. The officers
James H. Hubert, Brooklyn secretary
of the Urban League, president; James
B. Adams, secretary; H. P. McClendon,
treasurer.
Prof. John Hope, president of Morehouse College, was present at the meeting and congratulated the men upon the formation of such an organization. Prof. Hope stands for the development of character above all things. I have been pleased to note that the Morehouse men carry the spirit of the college, everywhere they go". Prof. Hope referred to the recent selection of Mr. M. C. A. work, one as student secretary and the other as secretary of boys' work. B. T. Harvey, Jr., of Colgate, who enters upon duties as teacher at Morehouse the coming year, was president of the Rev. B. T. Harvey, Sr., who is a Morehouse man. The members of the club present were James H. Hubert, president; M. J. Sherrod, Charles H. Haines, P. T. Lane, George D. Brock, F. William G. Rogers, J. H. Ellison, F. D. Sykes, David Tittle, I. B. Adams.
Morehouse College is the only college in the South devoted exclusively to the education of young men of the colored race. In recent years an increasingly large number of students have been coming East attending the Eastern colleges and engaging in various lines of gainful-pursuits. Many of the Morehouse students are now engaged in work on the tobacco plantation. Many of the students are making a splendid record in this line of work and are referred to by the growers as "the model group."
COLORED DEMOCRATS
G·Q TO LONG BRANCH
LONG BRANCH, N. J.-A delegation of leading colored Democrats attended the notification ceremonies in which President Wilson was the central figure last Saturday.

Mireg C. Brown of Lancaster, and Miss O. The two were also present. The atmosphere was Negro, and the colored brethren received little, if any, encouragement.
VIRGINIA MEN HOUSE
JAMES RIVER CAMPAIGN
HAMPTON, VA.—The second summer campaign of the, Negro Organization Society of Virginia was prosecuted at Franklin, Suffolk, Smithfield, Surry and Virginia, with the assistance of August 28 with an enthusiastic vigor that was distinctive. Like last year's, it was another James River Campaign, inasmuch as the places visited were for the most part accessible from the James. The five-day trip up and down the river made on the beautiful yacht "Hampton," the home of the James and Industrial Institute. The distance from the boat landings to the places of meetings, generally the courthouses or centrally located churches or schools, was made in automobiles furnished by the county people, who co-operated with the county body through community committees. But no co-operation of this kind was not limited to the colored people; there was not a "meeting where some white people were not present. At Franklin, Suffolk and the Isle of Wight prominent white men sat on the platform throughout the meeting where the audience was excellent welcoming or other addresses of kindness and good cheer, a fact strangely in contrast with a popular Northern idea that the South is a perpetual theater of racial war. Specially notable is the instance at Suffolk, where the opera house, "The Virginian," was paid and paid for by the City Council.
A Progressive Move.
The idea of the Negro Organization Society in this campaign was to bring the county people to a conscious realization of their shortcomings in the matter of education, economy, good health, work, right living and race relationship. The Negro organization was one of the strongest arguments as to what a Negro may accomplish through hard work and perseverance. With such speakers as Prof. J. M. Gandy, president of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute; the Rev. A. A. Graham, president of the First Baptist Church of Virginia; the J.B. Pierce, farm demonstrator for the State of Virginia; Hampton; Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, and Prof. W. T. B. Williams, agent of the Jeans and Slater funds, Hampton, conviction was carried with a force sufficiently overwhelming to inflict in its being effective. But never in the past was the Negro organization their any disposition, toward bitterness, resentment, railway, or hatred. Yet no of the case, however unfavorable, was in any way overloaded. Mr. Pierce, a medical, urged cooperation among the farmers, and showed how to deal with the Negro. He was able to rid itself entirely of bog cholera through concerted effort under the direction of a specialist. He explained how useless it would have been for one to have tried to fight the disease single-handed. This case he went on further and was able to show that similar benefits to be derived from cooperation and a willingness to be taught by those who know.
Parents' Responsibility.
"Said W. T. B. Williams, in speaking on "Parents' Responsibility for Educating Thair Children": "Statistics show that while there are often more colored than white children in county, only one-half are in school. Of this number, 70% are in school every day. The average term of school for the white child is eight months; for the colored child, two months and a half. Now, your children are not smart enough to get in two months and a half the same thing that it 'takes a white child eight months to get.' Further statistics showed that the colored teacher receives more money than the teacher receives. "Now," said he, "if you want a better mule you buy it; if you want a better plow you buy it; and if you want better education for your children you will have to go down, in your pockets and pay for it." Mr. Williams also showed from the reports that in each case where the colored teacher receives more money, schools the white people had never tailed to co-operate with them in furnishing material aid.
President Gandy was accustomed to open his address with the rather astonishing sentence that "the Negro is a dying race." "Farming and education are used by the race lives." He called attention the fact that consumption had become prevalent among colored people only since slavery, and he accounted for it through the fact that the race is imitating white people in their general mode of living and their preservation. Churches, homes and public schools, besides being poorly ventilated, lack the proper sanitary conveniences. In conclusion he read the splendid "Health Creed and Pledge of the Negro" extended a general invitation for all to sign the card and receive free literature on health and sanitation.
Dr. Moton Central Figure:
Dr. Robert Russia Moton, the new principal of Tuskegee, was, of course, the central figure of the campaign group.
When Mr. Motin was a young 'man he worked for many years at a saw mill in the heart of Surry County. It was in this county that he had many of his ecstatic encounters and it was here also that he enriched his life with Jesus Christ. These facts combined to add an element to the meeting at the Lehman Baptist Church that was romantic in the extreme. Here was a man back again hearing aword of life to come he had left behind; here was the master come home again; the prophete returning to his people. Never was a message delivered with a more impassioned fervor than when an attention more rapt. Although all these meetings (continued on page two)

Conforces Agree Upon Working Basis of Cordial Cooperation on All Racial Matters—Distinguished Visitors Present.
AMENIA, N. Y.—Fifty representatives of the Negro race of every school of thought, and every form of activity held an important conference on August 24, 25 and 26 at "Troutbeck," the country home of Dr. J. E. Spingarn, having been invited by Dr. Spingarn in order that the leaders of thought from every section of the country might freely and frankly discuss vital questions confronting the race and endeavor to ascertain the most advanced position that all might agree upon and hold as vantage ground from which to work for
new conquests by colored Americans.
The conference was fully attended, and lasted three days. The program was situated on the campus which five miles north of the city of New York in the hills of Dutch County. The members of the conference formed a tent, colony and enjoyed camp life throughout the conference. Every phase of the race question was discussed.
Resolutions Adopted.
The following resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Amenla, N. Y., August 26, 1916.
Your committee submits the following report for your consideration:
The AMENIA CONFERENCE believes that its members have arrived at a virtual unanimity of opinion in regard to certain principles, and that a more or less definite practical result may be expected from its deliberations. These principles and this practical result may be summarized as follows:
(1) The conference believes that all forms of education are desirable for the Negro, and that every form of education should be encouraged and advanced.
(2) It believes that the Negro, in common with all other races, cannot achieve its highest development without complete political freedom.
(3) It believes that this development and this freedom cannot be furthered without organization, and without a practical working understanding among the leaders of the colored race.
(4) It believes that antiquated subjects of controversy, ancient suspicions and factional alignments must be eliminated and forgotten if this organization of the races and this practical working understanding of its leaders are to be achieved.
(5) It believes the peculiar difficulty which surround this problem in the South, and the special need of understanding between leaders of the race who live in the South and those who live in the North. It has learnt to understand and respect the good faith, methods and ideals of those who are working for the solution of this problem in various sections of the country.
(6) The conference pleads itself to the inviolable privacy of all its deliberations. These conclusions, however, and the amicable results of all the deliberations of the conference are fair subjects for the discussion in the colored press and beaten down.
(7) The conference feels that mutual understanding would be encouraged if the leaders of the race could meet annual for private and informal discussion under con-

were highly successful, it seemed that the climax was reached at Surry probably because of the reasons given. Dr Moton's speeches were so comprehensive in their scope and so enlivened with illustration, anecdote and jest, and, above all, so pervaded with the power of his own personality that excerpts can give but a faint idea of their general trend and effect. The following are some of the significant sentences: "The Negro is not a down-trodden race nor is he in a waste howling wilderness. God meant that we (Negroes) should inherit the earth." Again, "Some colored people think that God made a mistake when he made us * * * if we have respect we must believe in ourselves." Again, "The race must work; the section where the most work is done is usually the best section in respect and morals. Labor is a blessing." Again, "Save! The Negro is happy with no money or job. Work and save, and then buy land and hold it." Again, "Do more than you are paid for, and you will be paid for more than you do." Again, "Believe in pure living; draw the line in morals. It is discouraging for a good girl to find that she is no more respected than a girl with careless morals. Be more afraid of the vicious Negro than of all the prejudice of white people."
The Rev A A Graham gave a talk on "Bodily Cleanliness" at Smithfield Others of the party who spoke at various times, either presiding or introducing the party, were Prof Connors, professor of pedagogy, Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, Petersburg, Va.; R. N Dett, director of music Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute; the Rev, L. L. Downing, pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church; grand master of Masons, Roanoke, Va., Prof. T. E. Erwyn, field agent of the Negro Organization Society, Petersburg: Prof E. A Long, principal of Christianburg Institute, Cambria, Va.; Charles Stewart, reporter for the Associated Press, Prof. E. Trigg, principal of the Lynchburg College Institute, and Major Allen Washington, commandant of cadets, Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute.
Additional mention should be made of the meeting at Suffolk, where the local committee had specially prepared music, and Mr. Dett played his "Ethiopia" processional march in Negro style, dedicated to Dr Moton.
How much good has been done by the campaign will probably never be known definitely. There is no doubt that the consciousness of both white and colored people in the outlying districts has been mightily stirred. Superintendent Johnson, a Southern white man, son of a Confederate soldier, said in his speech at Franklin that it was the best thing that had happened to the county since the war between the States. Like expressions were made in almost every instance by white and colored people. A similar campaign is planned for next year
SELMA. ALA
SELMA, ALA. -On the evening of August 25 the home of Mr. and Mrs. Nod Natts, 914 Philpot avenue, was beautifully decorated for a reception given in the honor of their guests, Misses Crenhaw and Mays, of Mobile, Ala.
The home of Dr. C. W. Reid, 1108 Broad street, August 23, was the scene of the most successful smoker of the season in honor of W. D. Prince, formerly instructor in mathematics at Selma University, who left Selma August 4 for a similar position at Benedict College, in South Carolina.
Senatorial Candidate Interested In the Farmers and Mechanics and Outspoken For "an All Embracing and All Inclusive Preparedness."
Ten thousand Republicans representing every county in the state, have volunteered to serve on the committee charged with the direction of the candidate of William M. Calder for United States senator. The committee, it was said, is not a perfunctory organization, but a live, active and aggressive body determined to see that the Long Island man is made the candidate of his party for a seat in the upper house of the national congress.
Experienced and Able.
One of the most active members of this committee is Francis Hendricks of Syracuse Mr Hendricks In a dispatch recently said: "I believe Calder should be nominated and elected. He is well qualified by experience and ability to serve in the United States senate." Encouraged and inspired by this whole souled devotion to his cause Mr Calder has begun a state wide speak

WILLIAM M. CALDER.
ing campaign. The committee is pre preparing for a mobilization of the forces friendly to Mr. Calder, and according to some of his most active workers all is coming from sources which were be lled formerly to be rather antagonistic to his aspirations.
To Visit Rural Districts.
Mr. Calder plans especially to visit the rural districts. In an interview he said that one of the first concerns of a legislator should be to interest himself in the farmer and mechanic of the country. He declared that in his opinion the present administration was in competent or would be incompetent to handle the complicated situation which would arise at the close of the war. He said the reason for the largely increased price of wheat, corn, oats and other farm products was to be found solely in the fact that Europe, instead of raising corn, was raising war and the competition between the agriculturists of this country and the agriculturalists in the old world was completely suspended.
Believes In Preparedness.
"My platform," said Mr. Calder, "is the Republican platform. I believe in complete preparedness. I believe, though, the word preparedness comprehends more than merely getting ready to repel a possible foreign foe. To be fully prepared we should be ready for the readjustments, the re-alignments, the reconstruction and the rehabilitation which will be found necessary at the close of the present war.
"There is a tragedy of peace as well as a tragedy of war, and no nation is fully prepared which is not ready for both. It is the design of the Republican party to map out a program of general preparedness, an all embracing and all inclusive preparedness. This has my heartiest support."
"I believe in a tariff adjustment which will prepare the American farmer, the American mechanic, the American planter, the American miner, the American storekeeper, the American clerk, against ruinous competition by the underpaid and underfed labor of some sections of Europe.
For "Undiluted Americanism."
"I believe in economic administration, but I don't believe in parsimony. I believe in efficiency, and I know that the Republican party will always be ready to give and vote the means necessary to guarantee the greatest efficiency. I believe in undiluted Americanism, and I so define Undiluted Americanism as devotion to America and its institutions and a love of country which will impel our citizens to make sacrifices necessary to assure us against foreign aggression and do n'estic insurrection. We should be prepared to grapple with enemies at home as well as enemies abroad. True Americanism covets no man's possessions nor seeks anything that is not truly and properly its own."
We are supporting GOVERNOR CHARLES E. HUGHES for the Presidency because we believe he will give us a square deal. We are supporting GOVERNOR CHAS. S. WHITMAN because he is making good. We are supporting WILLIAM M. CALDER for U. S. Senator because we believe he will represent all of the people. We are supporting JOSEPH S. FRELINGHUYSEN for U. S. Senator for the State of New Jersey, for the same reasons that we are supporting William M. Calder. In fact we are going to support the whole Republican ticket because it is the only party that stands for human rights.

STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR
Not with hot irons. But do it with Kink-no-more, the greatest hair straightening preparation on earth. Kink-no-more will straighten the kinkiest kind of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is to apply it on the hair and with a little combing the hair becomes straight, not to stay for one day until you see it is light and another months. Water nor nothing else will make it kink again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. So marvelously does it do its work that one can hardly believe their own eyes. It works like magic, and is unique because it is light and other preparation in the world like it. We offer a reward of $100 for any head of hair the Kink-no-more will not straighten
Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound,
it is perfectly harmless and will not
injure the scalp nor hair. But will stop it
from falling out, positively removes dandruff
promotes a luxurious growth of
healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy
and helps to prevent it from drying.
Guarantee to do all that is claimed for it
or money refunded. We will send to any
one on the receipt of $1.00 a regular size
box of Kink-no-more, enough to straighten
from one to two heads of hair. When

WHERE HUGHES STANDS. There have been many queries and some doubts expressed as to Mr. Hughes' attitude on the questions most vital to us as a race. Colored men have been asking, "Where does Hughes stand?" In his speech on Monday in Nashville before the students of Fisk University and colored citizens of that place, he said:
"I say to you that I stand, if I stand for anything, for equal and exact justice to all. I stand for the maintenance of the rights of all citizens regardless of race or color. The one word that I love above all others is the word 'justice.' We want in this country what is right. * * * You want what is right and fair. I desire to see such fair and decent and just treatment as will make you proud of your manhood and womanhood." These strong and unequivocal words make it clear just where Mr. Hughes stands.
MEXICO AND HAITI
Time and again we have pointed out the inconsistency between the course taken by President Wilson in Mexico and the course taken by him in Haiti. We have called attention to the fact that if he was right in one case he was wrong in the other. We expressed our amazement at the effrontery with which he excused non-intervention in Mexico while, at the same time, he was intervening in Haiti.
Theodore Roosevelt in his Lewiston speech hit the Administration upon this point, and did so with his usual vigor. He said:
Mr. Wilson has been engaged in continual hitting. But he has always hit soft. And whenever his opponent has hit back, he has promptly dropped his arms, stopped hitting, and taken refuge in platitudes about peace, non-intervention and humanity. Where, however, his opponent was suciently weak, as in the case of Haiti, he has dropped these platitudes, and has (with "blood-spilling") intervened. Haiti did not behave as badly to us as Mexico behaved; but Mr. Wilson intervened, fought the Haytens, shedding their blood and the blood of our troops, took possession, and now has our armed forces in control of Haiti and directing its government. His course of action in Haiti can be defended only if his course of action in Mexico is unqualifiedly condemned; for such action was far more needed in Mexico than in Haiti. But there was a difference in the two cases; and to Mr. Wilson it was a vital difference. Haiti was weaker than Mexico. No one was afraid of Haiti.
The political status of the colored man is fixed by the statutes of the States and in accordance with the views of the majority of those cheating the law. Under all of the circumstances and conditions with respect to the colored man we feel that President Wilson can be relied upon to do the just thing at the proper time. He has been in office note quite four years and has expressed a desire to do justice to all men, without regard to race or color.
There is expressed in these few words a faith such as Abraham never had any idea of reaching. It is enough to bring tears to the eyes to contemplate these simple, trusting men, who still believe that "President Wilson can be relied upon to do the just thing at the proper time." They say that he has been in office not quite four years and has expressed a desire to do justice to all men, without regard to race. We ask, how much time does Wilson want in which to carry out that "desire" expressed before his election? He knew he was elected for only four years; and, moreover, on a platform that pledged him to a single term; how then can anyone pretend to believe that he ever had any intentions of doing anything for the good of the Negro?
This communication to the President concludes with a petition that there be established somewhere some sort of a Jim Crow West Point, where colored youths might be trained as officers for the colored regiments in the army, and the petitioners furthermore respectfully ask that an appropriation sufficiently large be made and a commission of five members be appointed by the President, and that two colored men be named on the commission. The petition does not specify which two.
Mr. Roosevelt thus puts before the whole country this dumbfounding inconsistency of President Wilson, and shows up the weakness of his actions on the one hand, and the hollowness of his platitudes on the other. And, yet, only three days after the Lewiston speech, Mr. Wilson, in accepting the nomination, defended his Mexican policy by speaking as follows:
We have professed to believe, and we do believe, that the people of small and weak states have the right to expect to be dealt with exactly as the people

apology without feeling that this is a sorry business for colored men to be engaged in. It is worse than idle for any colored man to pretend that he believes Woodrow Wilson has any interest in or sympathy for the Negro. Every colored man in the country knows where Woodrow Wilson stands on the Negro, and knows that he stands not with the liberal members of his party, but with the Ben Tillmans, the Hoke Smiths, the Vardamans and the Bleases. If there is a colored man in the United States who really believes that Wilson intends to do anything to help the Negro, he is a man who needs a few more brains to make him half-witted.
Among the colored men who voted for Wilson, there were, no doubt, those who believed that their action was in the political interest of the race. That was in 1912. But let it be known that the race is heating a brand that will be stamped upon those who vote for Woodrow Wilson in 1916.

Last week in Ohio a colored man was arrested on the charge of assaulting a white woman. The sheriff, fearing trouble transferred the prisoner to another town. In the meanwhile a mob stormed the jail and forced the sheriff's wife to open the cells; but, of course, did not find the prisoner. At this point the sheriff returned, and the mob demanded of him that he tell where he had taken the prisoner. The sheriff refused; thereupon the mob turned on him. He escaped from the jail and took refuge in the Elk's Home. The mob followed and dragged him out. A rope was placed around the sheriff's neck, and he was told that he would be hanged if he did not tell where the prisoner was. Still he refused. The infuriated mob then tore his clothes from his body, and kicked and beat him until two of his ribs were broken.
At the latest reports, the sheriff is in the hospital, his little daughter is dead from fright caused by the mob breaking into the jail, his sister-in-law is in a serious condition, as a result of being roughly handled, and the prisoner is in jail at Toledo.
Here we have a case of the terrible American plague of lawlessness breaking out in the heart of Ohio. We may well ask, at what time will it appear in New York or Massachusetts?
The Southern press will, and with good reason, point to the Ohio affair as proof that lynching mobs are not confined to the South. This argument, however, does not lessen the guilt of the South, it simply shows that the lynching fever has spread until today it marks this country out from all the civilized countries of the world. In fact, we know of no country that makes any pretentions to civilization where life is not safer from mob violence than in the United States.
And yet, there is one great difference between this Ohio case and the frequent Southern cases, a difference which the press of the latter section is likely to overlook or ignore: in Ohio the accused man was not lynched. And he was not lynched because the sheriff did what he was elected to do. The South then cannot point its finger at Ohio until it produces officials like Sheriff Eley, men who are willing to die, if need be, in the performance of their sworn duty.
DISCRIMINATION
A young colored physician and his wife, who are here on a visit from Ohio, both of them people of refinement, boarded one of the sight-seeing cars a few days ago to make the trip through Chinatown. The conductor informed them that the car was not going to Chinatown, but to Coney Island. When they indicated that they would as soon go to.oCney Island as to Chinatown, the conductor said the car was going to the garage. When his colored passengers seemed as willing to make the trip to the garage as to any other place, the conductor boldly declared that the car was going to Coney Island, and wouldn't take any colored passengers either. He demanded that the couple get off, which they did. He even intimated something about punching the doctor in the eye.
If, as it seems to be, it is the policy of these sight-seeing car companies, who operate under public franchise and use the streets of New York, to practice any such Jim Crowism as this, they ought to be brought to their senses or put out of business. And this should be done at once. They have no more right to draw such a line than the street car companies have. It would not be going too far for some sufficiently brawny colored man to investigate just how much there is in the threats of these conductors to punch would-be colored passengers in the eye.

NEGRO DEMOCRAES AND PRESIDENT WILSON.
Despatches from Washington state that a delegation from the Hannibal National Democratic League, an organization of colored men, called on President Wilson last week and asked him to give them a message to the Negro voters of the country. It is said that Mr. Wilson gave his visitors a long interview, and promised to write them a communication on the Negro question.
According to the despatch, the delegation consisted of Giles B. Jackson of Richmond, Va.; F. W. Jones, of Chicago; Benjamin Smith, of Hagerstown, Md.; H. H. Price, of Richmond, Va., and Rufus L. Perry, of New York. Whether or not this delegation comprised the entire Hannibal National Democratic League, was not stated.
These gentlemen presented to President Wilson a lengthy communication, of which the following is the opening paragraph:
The Hannibal National Democratic League, a Negro political association with headquarters in the City of New York, at a meeting held on August 1, 1916, in New York, elected Giles B. Jackson, of Richmond, Va., as its president, and Rufus L. Perry, of New York, as secretary. The undersigned committee was appointed to convey to President Wilson greetings from the colored people of this country who desire, his re-election and to assure him of the unanimous support of the Hannibal National Democratic League, and to petition him for a message of encouragement to the ten million Negroes of this country.
It strikes us to make three observations on the above paragraph:
I. To convey the greetings of the colored people of this country who desire President Wilson's re-election did not necessitate the trip of a delegation to Washington; said greetings might have been sent on the space reserved for "correspondence" on a picture postcard, with room enough left over for the signatures of all the greeters.
II. If the delegation had conveyed to President Wilson the "real greetings" which any respectable number of colored people of this country would have sent, it is most likely that said delegation would have been kicked out of the White House.
III. In requesting Woodrow Wilson to write a communication, the delegation did not ask very much; as it will be a matter of no difficulty at all for Mr. Wilson to compose a skilfully worded letter which will mean just about as much read backwards as in any other order.
The communication from the Hannibal National Democratic League to the President goes on to say:
There are those of our race who have from time to time attempted to criticise the President for not appointing to office colored men in recognition of the support given him in 1912 and for not recognizing certain individual leadership. We feel, however, that no President since the establishment of the American republic has entered into office under such unfavorable conditions as was the case with President Wilson, who found himself surrounded on every hand with most difficult problems. A mistake in the solution of either of them might have plunged this country into a bloody war and conflict with more than one nation, and instead of the prosperity which now exists there might have been utter, despair and desolation. In view of these obstacles we think that the President has guided the affairs of the nation with the wisest judgment under all conditions.
When the writer was in school he had a professor in rhetoric who used to quote, as an example of illogical writing, the boy's essay on spring, which ran as follows:
"Some folks like spring and some like summer; but, as for me, give me liberty or give me death."
As illogical as is the school-boy's essay, it is not worse than the above quotation from the platform of the Hannibal National Democratic Letague. This paragraph begins, seemingly, to meet the criticism against the President for not appointing colored men to office, and ends by commending the President for keeping the country out of war. The fact that Mr. Wilson not only has not appointed colored men to office, but has turned those out who were holding office is a hard one to be explained away by the war in Europe or the muddle in Mexico.
Let us quote again from this most extraordinary document. Read the following:
No one can read these quoted paragraphs of feeble and craven of big and powerful states would be. We have acted upon that principle in dealing with the people of Mexico. We are only more convinced than ever that the fine words which Woodrow Wilson so carefully writes down and gives to the public have no more to do with controlling his actions than the crowing of a rooster has to do with causing the sun to rise.

versatility. He not only wrote lines and music of originality and produced many colored shows, but for several seasons he 'assisted in staging the tremendous productions at the Winter Garden. His "At the Ball," which he wrote for the "Darktown Follies," was not only sung, whistled and played all over the country, but the manner in which Hill "put it on" was copied by every white stage manager in New York. The death of J. Lubrie Hill is another great loss to the colored theatrical profession.
Harlem Police Protection.
May I use the columns of your valuable paper to advocate more police protection for Harlem?
Many persons living in the section between 130th and 140th streets, between Madison and Eighth avenues, have been greatly annoyed during the warm weather and for several years previously by an epidemic of small robberies. For the past month this has been especially so in East 131st street between Madison and Fifth avenues. Policemen here have been few and far between, difficult to find when needed. When called for, or whistled for, it takes between fifteen minutes to half an hour to locate an officer, giving any offender ample time to decamp.
These things have been brought to the attention of the Commissioner of Police. He assures us that he will do all he can; meantime the robberies continue, nor do I know of a single case wherein the culprit has been brought to justice. It has been brought to my attention by a sergeant of police that there are not enough policemen available to properly cover this section, owing to vacations. One man is obliged to cover one and one half miles of territory between Madison and Fifth avenues. He also admits that most robberies here take place in the day time and during the summer months.
This is no excuse for lack of protection. This is why I am asking your paper to join the fight: People in this section pay as much or more rent and taxes as in any other section of the city. We are nearly all working people, yet we cannot leave our hard-earned homes for a few hours without having them pillaged. Let the Commissioner reestablish the fixed post system in this section in the day time during the warm weather from May until October. Our homes need protection when we are absent.

J. W. DELAMAR
To the Editor of THE AGE:
Fellow citizens, how long must we suffer such outrages as this to go by unnoticed by the authorities? It is my opinion that such as this will continue until we ourselves put a stop to it, and the chief function that must take place to stop it is that we must make up our minds to stick together. It is almost an unnatural thing to see any number of our people "sticking together"; if we see one of our neighbors a little bit more successful than ourselves, we do all in our power to change things around just the other way, and this, my friends, is not the trait of a true Christian.
Although I have heard good arguments for and against our men joining the army, I am inclined to believe that if a large number of our men would join the army now for one term of four or five years, many occasions would arise in which these men would be forced to stick together. After the first occasion they would thereafter appreciate the advantage derived from sticking together and after one term in the army would consider it a part of their occupation to protect the lives of their colored brothers and colored sisters.
The time has come when we must show the white man that we are just as important as he is, and that he has no more right to hang us up to trees, than we have to hang him, and that he has no more right to ruin our women than we have to ruin the white women; and if these things do happen, he should suffer the same penalty as a colored man would suffer. We are no more responsible for being colored than he is for being white.
So you see the white people won't realize these things until we in one solid united body show him that we want justice and will have justice.
NEGRO MIGRATION.
(From The New York Times.)
The shortage of laborers through the decrease of something like a million in immigration is reflected in a migration of Negroes in this country of considerable proportions. The Pennsylvania Railway alone has provided itself with over 4,000 Negro laborers, over 3,000 having arrived on a single train of six sections but a few days ago. In Savannah, New York agents seeking Negro laborers are arrested, and an amide on the law of Georgia against sending labor out of the State. The Negroes departed, nevertheless, in bands of twenty or so, mostly students from the Southern colleges seeking work in the Connecticut tobacco fields. The movement gained such proportions that the Mayor of Savannah called a conference upon the subject. In Florida influential citizens appealed to Negro leaders to discourage the migration of their associates, and the press was appealed to for help.
The New York Age, a newspaper much read among Negroes, naturally contends for the right of the race to better its condition industrially by filling the positions left vacant by the drift of labor into the munitions trade. The advice of The Age to the agitated Southern whites is that they should compete with Northern employers in the attractions offered to Negro labor, should stop lynching Negroes, and should not overwork the Jim Crow laws. The sting of this advice lies partly in its common sense, and partly in the support of it by reprints from the Southern press of brutality toward Negroes. One case was the lynching of six Negroes, including two women, on the charge of helping a murderer to escape. It was charged only, not proved.
The use of the police and the processes of the law to stop the migration of adult laborers is only another form of slavery in qualified form. The Age talks about a million Negroes coming North from the country where they are so little esteemed That would put the shoe on the other foot and might start a Negro question at the North. It is the whites who are worrying. These are happy days for the colored brethren Higher pay is the sort of uplift most valued, and is the best proof of growing appreciation and revaluation of the Negro's services to society.

"What's the matter with this dashed hotel?" he growled. "No one to answer your call and no elevator running."

Eddie “Kid” Dorsey, the crack. col-
ored boxer of Philadelphia, is training
at Aulantic City for his bout with Walter
Mohr, the rugged Brooklynite, which is
to be staged at the Vanderbut A. C,
Brooklyn, Friday evening, September @

“Young” Jack O'Brien, Jack Blackburn
‘and Sam Robideau. He reports that he
predicts that he will win a decisive vic~
tory over the rushing blond Brooklyn
battler.
‘Mobr and Dorsey should put ap 2 rat-
ling contest, one in which there is ac-
tion from the first tap of the, gong until
the final bell a it brings together two
distinct types, Mobr, the fighter, and
Dorsey, a boxer of exceptional ability.
Mohr is a fighter, pure and simple, who
knows little of the finer rudiments of
the fistic pastime, being a.boring, aggres-
sive battler, but his style is very effect-
ive. On the other hand, few boxers who
have appeared here possess a better
knowledge of Queensberry technique
than the little Quaker City colored lad
Dorsey acquired considerable of his
boxing skill from “Jack” Blackburn, the
colored master-boxer of Philadelphia,
and later was employed tye Feasher-
weight Champion “Johnny” Kiyhane as
a sparring partner. The little colored
lad is a keen. student of the fiscc game.
and association with these two great
hoxers worked “wonders with ‘him.
While but a lightweight. Dorsey can
make 130 pounds ringside. In taking
on such a rugged boxer as Mohr at 135
pounds ringside, Dorsey shows that he
fears io one in the lightweight divisior,
as Mohr has more than held his ow
with all of the topnotchers in the light-
weight division, and just at present he
is boxing in much-improved form
Manager Amy Mack is backing this

There seems to bora tendency on the
part of the white fighter to defeat the
colored fighter-any way he can—foul or
fair—and the referces seem to be blind
to anything the white fighter does.
Having attended several bouts ately at
the local clubs, the white people con-
