VQL. XXX No. 10 WOMEN WORK FOR Y.W.C.A. Ten Years Old Organization of Women a Remarkable Factor for Good. WAS AUXILIARY TO MEN'S BODY But Development of the Organization Made It Necessary to Change Into a Branch of the National Y. W. C. A. Site Has Been Purchased and Plans are Being Drawn for Modern Y. W. C.A., Building to be Occupied by the Colored Women's Branch Within the Next Year—On West 187th Street. Ten years ago a group of women interested in the welfare of the colored branch Y. M. C. A. in West 83rd street, organized themselves into a women's auxiliary that they might do more effective work in advancing the interests of the men's organization. Mrs. Robenet Robinson was chairman of this auxiliary in the beginning, but she declined a permanent appointment, feeling that another might be more useful. Miss Carrie King was accordingly named as the first chairman. The work of the auxiliary soon began to take on greater importance and the women's activities became an important factor in the work of the men's organization. Mrs. Godfrey Wilson, a member of the Central Branch Y. W. C. A., became interested in the work of the colored women, and used her influence to have them organize into a regular branch of the Young Women's Christian Association. This was one, and a steady, healthy growth has been developed by the women's branch. Mrs. Emma S. Ransom was named chairman to succeed Miss King, and she has served during the past eight years. The growth of the work necessitated several changes in location. The first home was at 173 West 53rd street, in the parish house of St. Cyprian's P. F Mission. Next, larger quarters were secured at 143 West 53rd street, but the trend of population to the Harlem section necessitated another change, and the building at 121 West 143nd street was secured. Here the women are located at this time. To Erect $100,000 Home. But another change is in prospect, for a site has been purchased on 137th street, east of Seventh avenue, and plans are being prepared for a new building to be erected within the next year. The site is $100 feet and the building to be modern in every appointment and equipment. The general board has appropriated $100,000 for the women's new quarters. In addition to a largely increased dormitory, space, the new building will be equipped with gymnasium, class rooms, swimming pool, and other convenences for the pleasure and comfort of the girls. There have been eight secretaries of the branch during its ten years of existence, not including a few months of temporary service given by the late Mrs. Madge Thomas Duncan. The first secretary employed was Mrs. Lucile Robinson. She was succeeded by Mrs Eva D Bowles, now employed in the national work, and Mrs. W. A. Hunton followed Miss Bowles. Under Mrs. Hunton's administration, the work was ```markdown ``` reorganized and the foundation laid for its present healthy development. Miss Mamie Grandison of Mississippi, came next for a short while, followed in turn by Miss Helen Latimore, Miss Cora B. Jackson and Miss Gertrude E. James. While Miss James was serving as secretary, the removal to Harlem occurred. Following Miss James, resignation, the branch was without a permanent secretary for a short while, and it was during this interim that Mrs. Duncan served very acceptably as acting secretary. In March, 1914, Mrs. Cecilia Holloway Cabanis was called to the secretaryship, and she is the present incumbent of that office. Under her capable direction the work has progressed, and the present facilities are entirely inadequate for the demands placed upon them. During the past year the employment department which is in charge of Miss Charlotte M. Jarvis, employment and office secretary, has placed more than three thousand women in various positions, including homework, office work, factory work, and its entrons and nurses. A very historic feature of the years work is that withholding the benefits of vigorous the women a branch in staining work is no longer free from the stresses of the work been introduced from itsception. Although Mrs. Fannie Jackson and Mrs. Laura Watts were named as temporary treasurers in the beginning, Mme. V. E. Scott, the present treasurer, has really served as such from the very beginning. She is one of the women most actively engaged in the furthering the work of the branch and a most valued assistant to Mrs. Ransom, the chairman, and Mrs. Cabaniss, the secretary. Mrs. Ransom, wife of the Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, who has served for eight years as chairman, has done yeoman service in building up the association. Her wise guidance is responsible very largely for the present splendid condition of the work, and the prospective new building is the culmination of an ambition which she has worked toward from the beginning of her regime. She has been ably assisted by the vice-chairman, Mrs. James C. Thomas, Sr., who brings to the work a consecrated desire for the betterment of the young women of the race. An- Mrs. ARMINTHA H. THORNE Secretary Executive Committee, Colored Branch Y. W. C. A. other young woman who has rendered invaluable service in various departments of the association is Mrs. Armintha Hogsden Thorne, who has served as secretary of the executive committee for eight years. Especially useful has Mrs. Thorne been in the preparation of musical and literary programs to be presented at various entertainments and meetings in interest of the work of the women's branch. A number of the women who were charter members of the branch continue to give their active support and help to the work. Some of the charter members and others who have given valuable aid were Mme. V. E. Scott, Miss May A. Clarke, Mrs. Nora Montague, Mrs Roberte Robinson, Miss Carrie King, Mrs. Edith Leonard Scott, Miss Luth Gayles, Miss Clav, Mrs. Little Robinson, Miss Julia Ligeons, Miss Emma (Continued on page two) GEORGIA WHITES WORK TO STOP LABOR EXODUS Inaugurate Organized Effort to Assure Negroes of Their Good Will. Colored Men Given Opportunity to Speak Plainly On Present Conditions—White Men Were Convicted that Georgia is Reaping Fruits of Lawlessness—Steps to Protect Race (Special to THE NEW YORK AOK.) ALBANY, GA.—Leading white citizens of this section have awakened to the necessity of stilling the arrest which is creating Negro labor and leading to the widespread sections, and as a consequence, this end, the purpose called into confluence leading Negroes of the community. A preliminary meeting held to talk things over, prominent representatives of the Negroes were asked to talk frankly and freely of the problem, and they did so, with the result that a clearer insight was had by all present into certain features of the widespread emigration movement among the Negroes of this section. As an outcome from this meeting the white citizens have determined to take action to assure the Negro laborers of southwest Georgia that they are wanted here, that they will be given protection from mistreatment, real or imagined, and that the best class of white citizens will continue as in the past, to be their friends. Why They Leave Georgia. It was brought out by the statements made by the Negro leaders that there are several considerations that influence the Negroes who are leaving Georgia. In the first place the coming of the holl weevil has caused many of them to become apprehensive of their ability to make a living here any longer. Some of the large white plantaters, it is stated, have hold their Negroes that because of the holl weevil conditions they can no longer make arrangements to supply their needs as they have done in the past. This has removed the main prop of the existence of many Negroes, and when the opportunity has come to go north they have seized it as a welcome means of salvation from conditions which they feel unable to cope. Many large land owners, however, who had told their Negroes that they could no longer supply their needs have changed their minds, and have informed the Negroes that they will, continue to look out for them in the future as in the past, realizing that as much money can be made from cotton, peanuts and other crops, under holl weevil conditions, as was made before the pest came. In many instances, where this has been done, the Negroes are content to remain. Fear a Potent Factor. Another factor, and a much stronger one, that is causing many Negro families to leave, especially from certain sections, is the impression that has gone abroad among them that the better class of white ticcizens have changed their attitude and will no longer protect them. Labor agents have assiduously fostered this impression, and hundreds of Negroes are said to firmly believe that the white folks are going to run the Negro out of Georgia." The big, outstanding feature of the meeting was the assertion that the plain truth of the exodus of Negroes from southwest Georgia is that they are afraid to remain here. Tales were told of the sleepsleep nights spent by Negro families in sections where lynchings have been preperated; how every sound outside the humble cabin caused terror; how the women and children liver in constant dread until finally they could stand it no longer and departed for other states where this dread could be shaken off.

POLICE OBJECT TO SALE OF NEGRO PAPERS (Special to The New York Age.) Birmingham, Ala. An indicated effort to stop the sale of papers published by colored men was seen in the action of one of the city detectives, Goldstein, who ordered a colored man, vendor of Negro papers, to go to the office of the chief of police, as he did not want "Negro papers sold on the streets any more." The vendor, however, had taken out a business license, and other than being kept for two hours, cooling his heels in the chief's office, was not interfered with. It is thought that this action indicates that when licenses are due to be reviewed on January 1, 1907, colored news agents would be refused, but just how the police officials hope to be able to do this does not appear. DANIEL H. MURRAY, JR. DIES IN WASHINGTON (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE) (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.) WASHINGTON, D. C.—After an illness of three weeks, Daniel H. Murray, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel H. Murray, 934 S street, northwest, died at 4 p.m., Wednesday, November 22. The funeral was held Saturday, November 25, from his late residence.

RESULTS SECURED BY BUSINESS CAMPAIGN HARLEM MERCHANTS PLEASED Declare that the People Have Responded to the Articles Published by this Paper and are Patronizing Negro Merchants to a Greater Extent than Ever-Leaders Appear to Hold Back. That the campaign conducted by The New York Anx for increased Negro patronage of Negro business enterprises has been productive of results is unhesitatingly declared by race men who are conducting businesses in Harlem. That the mass of the people have responded to the demands upon their race loyalty is further alarmed by a cursory investigation into trade conditions in that section. It can no longer be truthfully stated that the great body of the men are the professional men, have not fully awakened to a consciousness of their duty in this respect. Merchants of the race declared an agent a representative that slow response is hard for the leaders, but they have the appearance of being aphamed to come out boldly and declare unequivocally for race support of race business. On the other hand, the mass of the people are not only awakening themselves to the need of race solidarity in business, but they are making themselves missionaries and preaching the doctrine of buying from race merchants to all with whom they come in contact. A Harlem merchant, the only Negro engaged in his particular line of business, but who has to meet active and strong competition from the races, declares that not only does the receive increased patronage from the race as a result of the articles published by THE AGE in its business campaign, but that he knows of numerous cases among other merchants where the same result has obtained. Business Men Active. One of the important factors in achieving this result has been the support which THE AGE has given to the New York Colored Business Men's Association. This body of colored business men has been benefited by the arousing of interest among the people to the extent that many of the city pastors have opened the doors of their churches to representatives of the association and have also allowed the association the use of the church buildings for their public meetings. At these meetings addresses are made by men thoroughly familiar with racial trade conditions, and they present the claims of the Negro merchant with force and authority. The result is an economic awakening of the people to the fact that every dollar spent with a race merchant is an investment in race progress. An ACE representative spent some time in canvass of Negro business places, and in practically no establishment there were signs of healthy business life through race patronage, an it noticeable fact that it was most largely the wage-earning class which was doing the buying. Every merchant spoken to corroborated the statement of the merchant already referred to, and it was to the campaign conducted by THE ACE for the purpose of educating the people to the value of race patronage of race enterprises that the business men freely and willingly give credit for the present encouraging conditions. Ministars Are Interested. It was also commented on most favorably that a number of ministers, in addition to allowing the business men an opportunity to speak for themselves, have also taken occasion to preach sermons advising their congregations to patronize race merchants, and some of them are setting the example by doing so themselves. The New York Colored Business Men's Association holds its regular monthly meeting on the first Monday in each month, with special meetings as interest and demand makes it necessary. Several large public meetings have been held recently, and others are projected for the near future. A Women's Branch of the association has been organized, and the women have already made themselves a potent factor not only in developing the spirit of race patronage for race enterprises, but also in developing more and better enterprises. The association publishes an official organ, "The Commercial Outlook," and is giving a special effort just now to exploiting business opportunities. The peanut industry and its possibilities, so largely taken advantage of by alien peddlers, is being called to the attention of the colored peddlers and merchants. The selling of coal, wood and ice, at present practically monopolized by the Italians, is another line of merchandising which might well be considered by the Negro business men. In Harlem the colored man willing to render service in this line ought to find a rich field for development. Colored men engaged in any mercantile pursuit anywhere in Greater New York will do well to join the New York Colored Business Men's Association. WORKING TO INCREASE (Special to The New York Anu.) BALTIMORE, Md.—Though $700 was raised at the recent monster meeting here for the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund, there will be no let-up in the efforts to secure a handsome addition to the fund. The campaign will be carried into the counties through a committee headed by Dr. William Pickers, dean of Morgan College. William L. Fitzgerald of 1206 Drud Hill avenue is treasurer of the local Maryland committee, and John'H. Murphy, publisher of the Afro-American publicity agent. 1.

QUICK RESULT FROM AN AD PLACED IN THE AGE For seven years James A. Hassell of Seattle, Wash, had been trying to secure information as to the whereabouts of a certain party, but without success. Finally he decided to advertise in the columns of THE NEW YORK AGE, and did so in the issue of October 26. On October 30, at 1.30 o'clock p. m., Mr. Hassell, in Seattle, received a telegram from Boston, Mass., giving him the desired information. Mr Hassell comments on this in the following letter: Seattle, Wash. Oct. 30, 1916 To the Editor of THE AGE: Enclosed find money order in payment for notice carried in your issue of October 26. I feel certain while penning these lines that your paner is the quickest and simplest way of reaching the Negro race in America. You have accomplished in four days what I have tried to find out for seven years by other sources. At 1.30 p. m., this date, I received the particulars from Boston by Western Union telegraph. Thanking you, I am, Respectfully yours. JAMES A. HASSELL RALEIGH, N. C.—The Hon. T. W. Bickett, who will become Governor of North Carolina the first of the year, and who is held in high esteem by the colored people of the State, has pledged himself to so that every citizen in North Carolina gets a square deal regardless of color while he is Chief Executive. The following communication has been received by your correspondent in which Mr. Bickett gives the Negroes of North Carolina assurance that they will receive fair treatment during his administration: State of North Carolina.

They are the utterance of a simple, earnest, cultured Christian statesman I lived for several years in Louisburg, the home-town of Governor-Fleet Bickett, which gave me an opportunity of gauging the man at close range. Among his neighbors and townpeople he is the same sincere, warm-hearted, upright gentleman that he is in public. All the colored people hold hip in highest, esteem and take him as their friend.

Yet it'hag*had-at important war to each thirty'years of its independence, - Had’ ther beenno war in Europe, the murder of, American men, women ant children and the killing of ‘American soldiers by Mexicans: woul long ago have aroused this country to the fighting point, For mucl lesser causes, we fought Spain—And had there been no war in Evi rope, Woodrow Wilson would never have been re-elected. But the present great struggle: has robbed war of its~ancien glory: Men to-day see only the horror and brutality. The nation: that are in the war wish they could get out of it; and those that.ar not under some necessity to enter the conflict are glad-they are no in it. At the present time, it is next to an impossibility to-firé th martial spirit of any nation that is fortunate enough to be in a posi tion to remain at peace ; and this, most likely, will be an effect of th great war for many years to come. 7 And so, the thought now uppermost in the minds of thinking men is concerned with the securing of universal and-permanen peace. The most feasible plans thus far proposed are, a league te enforce Peace, ‘and a Parliament of Nations. The latter plan ha: Leen mast-recently setforth.by Alfred Owen Crozier. He prefer: to call his plan “A Natjon of Nations.” In‘discusging-his project which, he says, has"been communicated to the ‘government of eact of the warring nations and to those’ of many’ of the neutral nations Mr. Crozier says: a 7 — . “A congress.of nations, in which every civilized country is rep- resented, should be convened to organize a permianent government _, of Governments to be named ‘Nation of Nations,’.a supreme inter- + national police power charged by the-nations with the duty and armed with authority to regulate and preserve order in the family . Of nations and guard all against unjust attack. t “The suggestion for an actual-merger gr union of the different nationsbr even a° political federation; is impractical and utopian, bécause’ of the’ difference in: race’ and interests.’ All that is needed isa nation -of nations, -with the usual ‘governmental functions, powets, and limitations, a supreme constitution, a tentative draft of which T have published, that prohibits interference in the domestic affairs’ of any country and restricts it to the work of preventing® ~~ intérnational conflicts, with armaments, particularly a navy, large enough 10 prevent wars and enforce wosld peace. ~~ "SIf the plan ‘is adopted ‘the Supreme. Senate will be'the sovereign ‘.' legislative body that will enact ‘all international laws, and in which’ ° _~ every co-dperating nation shall be fairly Feieesnted, the apportion- :* ‘ment to-be agreed upon by the congress of ‘nations. The General Supreme Court, ag the judicial branch, will.construe such laws and adjudicate or arbitrate all disputes between nations. The Supreme President will be ‘the Chief Exocntive, tHe executive branch. The Supreme Council, a fourth co-ordinate branch, the administrative, composed of twenty-five of the-worltl’s. greatest statesmen, chosen from different countries, will check and guide the Supreme President, ___conduct (he:plain business and supervise the relations between the _ ‘nation of nations and individual nations.” ° If the plan proposed by Mr. Crozier can be put into execution there is every reason’ to believe that it will make going to war more difficult and less frequent. But would such a plan work out abso- lutely to the perfect end which he has in'mind? We fear it would not. We feel that Mr. Crozier allows his optimism to run away with his good judgment when he says that all that is needed to prevent war is a nation of nations; with the usual governmental functions, powers and limitations, a supreme constitation, etc. In this, he betrays a sort of child-like belief that. government and laws and courts and police can change human nature. “They may curb it but they have never yet been able to change it. : Mr. Crozier hopes to reduce the ‘government of the world to the same system by which a single nation with ‘a representative form of government is governed. That isto say, if the people of the var- jous states of the United States can adjust their individual differences by recourse to. the courts.of' lav and through designated govern- mental agencies, why cah't the, peoples‘of the various nations, con- federated under one authority, do the Sime? To make Mr. Crozier’s case stronger, let us‘carry the analogy farther; If the éitizens of New York City can adjust thcirindividual differences by récourse tg the courts of law, whiy can't the nations of+the world; joined in a confederacy, do the.same? Now the goverrient of the city of New York.is more ¢vfipact than ‘that”of-the whole United States, the common interests Of its-citizens are Moré closely Lound together than those of the’people-all oyer'the couittry; its courts can be put into action more quickly’ and: easily, and- its police ‘authority is in closer touch; yet, despite: this édmpactness, common interest, ‘easy and quick access to the courts, and: ever present police atithority, the citizens of NewYork do not always.adjust-their differences by recourse to the courts of law. Tvery dav there are cacee whore But there is another weakness in the analogy upon which Mr Crozier builds his plan. It is this: in any court of the United States ‘or the state of New York or New York City a man’s cause is-tricd before ‘a disinterested jury; none of his relatives or close persona friends would be allowed to serve, nor would any ‘of his avowed enemies be permitted to do so, y ” S e Imagine what a farce a trial would be if two litigants were al give his life for his country at ayand struggling. The newly-made time when this Nation was young| raves“ in,’ Atlington Cemetery, jet unde eae be tenet ‘with’ their respective relatives and friends ; yet that weed be'exactly the case in a litigation between two nations before'an imernational court, The court would be made'up of inter- cated parties, and it would be impossible to have it otherwise. &. ‘The’ war vhas bound various nations together by very strong ties ;.tiea that will hold long after the war is over. Now suppose when the war:is over we set up our national court, and there,arises a matter of differericé between Germany-and France; does anyone think for.a:moment that England and Italy and-Russia and Serbia 288, ommanlf Mn -Acstralis nd Canada and. New: Zealand and South’ Africal are going to decide in favor of Germany against France? Some one might suggest that parties of known interest be excuse Or extlaied from sitting on a case,” Well, if any one thinks that the great powers’ are going to sit down while their vital interests are being decided by a vote taken by Mexico’ and Guatemala and Veneztela and Haiti and Liberia and a hundred other disinterested nations, that person has another thought coming. : rh — . .. But even. if certain nations were not bound together by’ blood or other ties, there could be no such thing as an impersonal, impar- tial-verdict by any international court. In a court of law, the verdict given by. the jury does not in any way affect the jury or any of its ‘members. But in an, international court, there would be few na- tions that could decidéfor or against another nation without affect- ing their own interests. * . Mr. Crozier seems to placé a great deal of faith in a force strong enough to enforce the ‘edicts of this international court, Naturally, we'suppose this force would be furfished by the various nations. Now,. if 4. decision should be rendéréd”against the United States, can it be imagined that the ships and men furnished by this country would help to bombard the ports of New York and Boston and New Orleans and Baltimore to compel us to abide by the decision, And what would happen in case of a disagreement? For courts do occasionally disagree. Would not the part of the force that each nation furnishes-stand by ,the decision of its own nationals at the court? In such a case the world might see the greatest and bloodiest of all wars. , ; . ; * We believe that a permanent international court of arbitration would deeréase“the necessity, the desire ‘and the opportunity for! going to war. We do not think that a nation. of nations would entirely prevent war, nor do we think that it is wholly feasible. We believe that aninternational force subject to the orders of a central international authority would be a source of danger rather than security. .We do not believe that wars will entirely cease until human nature is changed, arid we see no immediate prospects of that being done. However, the ideal of universal and permanent peace is 6ne worth struggling forward to-attain. THE WORKING DAY. . The following short editorial, clipped from the New York Sun, is written’ inthe inimitable “Sun vein:”+ It is an example-of that deliciously satirical himor that is, perhaps, found in perfection only n the editorial pages of The Sun. ‘It is more clever than a joke, it is keener thati a cartoon and is more convincing than the average argument.’ We have read many’ a serious editorial of a full column’s length agairist the Adamason “Eight-Hour” Law which was. not so effective as these three brief paragraphs: THE MAN WHO WANTS TO: WORK ELEVEN HOURS A DAY. A correspondent asks us whether it is unconstitutional for him to labor eleven hours a day on a piece of work he must complete before the end of the year. This is avery delicate question at this crisis, but uot long ago we° Should ‘not have hesitaated to inform our industrious fellow American that "his own constitution, not that of the United States, should, furpish the answer to his query. ‘Whats at present our duty toward our strenuous compatriot we frankly admit.we don't know. . And this bit of satire not only wade us smile and think but also suggested an idea which is new, at least, to the writer. This is the idea: Let the hour instead of the day.be made the standard measure of labor. . : The working day is a variable measuré. In some communities a “day” means eight hours, in others it means ten hours, and there fare still some communities in which it means twelve hours. But an hour is sixty minutes all over the world. ~ . Why would it not be practicable then to make the hour the measure of labor and-of wages, and to let each employer make his working day a “day” of as many hours as’ would be mutually agree- able to him and'to his employees? For example, if an employer paid forty cents an hour and his working.day were a “day’ ‘of eight hours, those employed by him would carn $3.20 a day. If his “day” were one of ten hours, his employees would earn $4.00 a day. “A “day” ci twelve hours would bring $4.80. _ > There are those who will object to this plan on the ground that it’ would defeat the prime purpose of eight hour law legislation ; that is, regard for the physical, moral and and social welfare of the working man. It occurs to us thdt considerations of physical, moral and social ‘welfare arose with the working man from the ‘fact| that under the‘old-systém he had to work ten or twelve hours to ean aS much as he eatns in eight hours under the new system. | -We can easily understand how in a choice between working eight hours for $3.20 and working twelve hours for the same amount these considerations of physical, moral and social welfare would arise; but we-are confident that, they would not enter in a clioice between working eight hours for $3.20 and working ten hours for $4.00. . ¢ Counting six"days to the week and four. weeks to the month $3.20 a day-would mean $76.80 a month, and $4.00 a day would niean $96.00 a month., Now we firmly believe that the $20 extra each month woukd secure more physical, moral and social welfare for the average working man than.the extra two hours’ leisure cach day, This, perhaps, sounds ‘like ‘a reactionary sentiment, yet there arc men who do not belong to labor unions, who, in order to carn a living and make money, work at their jobs, ten, twelve, or fourteen hours a day, _ ‘ There are very.few things more interesting than making money, and when more time means more money there is seldom any com- plaint. Of course, there is a physical, mental and a mor@Dliniit, hut very few men ever have cause or ‘opportiinity to exceed it, “E Washington, containing-the victims’ tlie country at Carrizal, are- proof colored -American “has not’ grown one whit less loyal-than during the days of the Revolutionary War. - .

Will he take advice from The World, which ‘believes that true democracy <only exists where all citizens are given a square deal, or will he work hand in hand with those, who to further their. own political . ambitiong;* array one group against another, and who make special laws to humiliate. and keep down a certain class of true Americans? a A’RAY OF HOPE FROM “GEORGIA. | Dispatches from Albany, Ga., tell of an important conference participated in by leading white and, colored men, held-a few days ago to inaugurate an organized effort to stem the tide of emigra- tion that has. set in among the Negroes of that section. At: the preliminary meeting representa- tives of both races talke#t things over, and an understanding~was reached that immediate action should be taken to assure the Ne- gro laborers of Southwest Geor- gia that they are wanted at home and will be given protection from mistreatment. . It is reported ‘that during the conference colored men weFe asked to talk frankly and freely, which they/did, resulting in both races reaching a better under- standing. Coming from-Georgia, where race prejudice and- lynch- ings thrive, this “get-together” meetigg must be regarded as more than a passing incident. From it there shines a ray of hope that down in Georgia the white people aft becoming\ ashamedof their inhuman treatment of the Negro and, have decided.to turn ,over-a new leaf. before: the first: ofthe It. is surely a -hopeful . sign when southern white men find it no insult to their intelligence to ask southern colored.men to speak out frankly and freely about the’ Negro; for usually the southern white_man dssumes the strange attitude that he knows more, about the race problem, be it in the North or South, than the Ne- gro himself. % RACE“SOLIDARITY IN POLITICS. When the Jiestern World Re- porter, which is published in the in- terest of the race at Memphis, en- thused over the activities of the Lincoln Republican League at the polls on election day, and advised the Negroes of Memphis to make the league a permanent institution, it did not know it was going to arouse the ire of the Nashville ‘Banner, one of the most influential dailies in Tennessee, which, unlike the Western World Reporter, be- lieves that the Lincoln League ought to be dissolved. + “On this’ ‘subject the Nashville Banner says? * A wise plan to the accomplish ment’ of that end might be to dis- solve-the Lincoln Republican L-eagus and “allow "the “black "man wha, wishes to vote to do. 30 of his ownt initiative and according to what he thinks the public good requires. “If the Negro voters are to know only a party name and tradition in « forming their ideas-about politics, and vote, not as freemen, but at the dictation of a league, or other " directinig’ agency, they will invite a solid’ white opposition. Where conditions as to population are such as they are in a considerable portion of the Tenth Congressional District, hy this race solidarity in politics — they attempt political” supremacy which they should surely have learned to know by now that the Caucasian element will not tolerate, The spectacle of a southern. daily preaching agaiist race solidarity in politics is a bit unusual, not to say incongruous. There “would be no Lincolt Republican Leagiie: if the Negroes of Memphis were not meeting a solid white opposition. White Democrats, -it séems, do not ‘ake kindly to the idea of co-cpera- ‘ing in the political field with the colored’ voters, and white Republi- ans, commonly known as -“Lily Whites,” are more disposed to keep the Negro in-the back ground than: white Democrats. Having beey’ bluntly told. that they were ‘noe needed in either camp, the colored: mien of Memphis did what «hg white men’ have done—organized ig fight just what the Nashville Ban: ner appears to frown .upon—racg. solidarity. : ‘The colored voters of Memphis regret they find it. necessary to op. ganize to successfully cope with the solid white opposition which iy unfriendly. But it is not the Negro, eh injects the race question ig politics, it is the white mam. . “Race: ‘solidarity in’ politics,” says. the, Nashville Banner, “they sare shave learned to know by now the Caucasion vill not tolerate.” . Neg. Toes, too, are unalterably opposed. to race golidarity in politics, and in, Memphis they do not intend ‘to tolerate this” highly ‘objectionable feature any longer. It seemsigs if: the colored voters of Memphis and the- Nashville Banner are of 3 similar opinion—only, perhaps, they’ look at’ things from a different angle. x Robert R, Church and his co: workers are on the right track. We’ advise them tosheed the advice of the Western World Reperter. * When the New-York Times finds it agreeable to publish on the front page of its Sunday pic- torial section the: pictump of Fred Pollard, another showing him surrounded by Harvard and Brown players,making a touch: down, we hoping this is evidence of the adoption of a more libenl policy by the Times toward thé Negro.

COLORED members of the theatrical profession, who behind closed doors have been wont to class Charlie Case, the well known black-face comedian, as "a colored man passing for white," were shocked to learn of his tragic death Monday when he accidently killed himself while cleaning a revolver in his room in the Palace Hotel in Forty-fifth street. The comedian had been booked to fill a vaudeville engagement in Erie, Pa., this week. Dispatches from Buffalo, where Case resided with his family, tell the sad news that after receiving word of her husband's death Mrs. Case became unconscious and never recovered. Her physician said the shock killed her. Charlie Case was one of the most prominent vaudevillians in the profession and was regarded as one of the strongest single turns in the two-a-day houses. As a monologist he ranked high and his monologues, which he wittily put over the footlights under cork, were always original and chock full of humor. Members of the Williams & Walker Company recall some years ago when the show was playing at Heuck's Theatre, Cincinnati, and Charlie Case was booked to appear at the largest vaudeville house in the city. He cancelled his engagement and spent the entire week fraternizing with Bert Williams and George Walker, and was not reluctant about being seen anywhere in their company. The position occupied by Case was most unusual in that hundreds of white people harbored the impression that he was a colored man. A number of years ago Case and a big colored musical act divided headline honors at Hammerstein's Victoria Theatre. In discussing the merits of Case as a comedian an attache of the theatre confidentially remarked to a member of the colored act: "Charlie Case is a colored man!" The performer showed mock surprise, for he had been discussing the comedian's racial identity only a few minutes before with some of his colored actor friends. The inconsistent attitude of the white man on the color question was never more glaring than in the case of the deceased comedian. Many believed him to be colored, yet they always looked upon him as a white man and did not oblige him because he married a white woman. Some believed the rumor that he was other than white untrue, others did not hesitate to express opinions in the affirmative; and yet no attempt was ever made to draw the color line. Along Broadway one may find a number of stars and near stars who started life as colored men and women, but who to-day are known as white, except to certain Negroes and a few white people. As in many other avenues of endeavor, there are on the stage those who not only play make believe on but also off. Coming to New York and finding the numerous handicaps which the ambitious must face, and soon learning that the path trod by the colored performer is far more rocky than that of the white performer, many have buried their true racial identity and secured work as Caucasians. In the field of drama, in musical comedy and in vaudeville, the colored American of light complexion may be found "passing for white." As a rule they do not forget their intimate colored acquaintances of former years, and are never happier than when with them for a few hours, which are taken up in talking of years gone by and the success achieved on the stage by the one-time Negro. The colored American is often accused of talking too much, but there is not a case on record where the identity of these successful actors has been disclosed by a former colored associate. Colored people are usually glad to see one of their race "getting by," and among one another they point with pride to a Negro who has been able to perform such a feat. On the day Charlie Case met his death I was strolling down Broadway and chanced to pass two members of the race who have found it profitable to pose as white people in the theatrical world. I regarded this as a strange coincidence. Standing in front of one of the large hotels frequented by theatrical folk was one who has made an enviable reputation in vaudeville, and his demeanor plainly showed that long ago he had put aside the race problem and left it for the Booker T. Washington to solve. Further down the street I came across a comely miss who is regarded as one of the best chorus girls on Broadway. But with her she has found it hard to get far away from the race and is often seen with colored female friends in Harlem. "Passing for white" is a game played by hundreds of colored Americans to-day, not as a diversion but as a necessity. No one can blame these people for lessening the obstacles confronting them in this great struggle for existence. Negroes have a feeling of aversion for but one class of colored Americans who "pass for white": Those who want to be white and don't know you today, but who want to be colored and enjoy your society to-morrow. Sporting Notes BASKETBALL (BY WILL ANTHONY MDDEN). When the Carlton Y. M. C. A. five of Brooklyn defeated St. Augustine it was just what I expected, as the Carltones are the best at their weight in this section of the country. Then again a team of six could easily when they have been one of the game for about two years, couldn't defeat an almost perfect working machine. The game between the 15th Regiment Five and the Sixth Massachusetts Infantry队 was won by the New York soldier boys. It was a social and financial attraction when they have attracted of one of our local contemporaries that has proven a joke, the other being the Alpha-Spartan game of last season. Lincoln University and Alpha Big Five will clash on Christmas night. On New Year's night, Monday night, January 1, 1917, Howard University of Washington, D. C., will send her regular basketball team to New York to compete against the world famous "incorporators", champions for two seasons. This will be the first appearance this season of Howard's real team, and will prepare for a redeem feat of the season ago. All games prior to this big important game of New Year's night will just be to try out Howard's squad in which the second string men and some of the regulars will be used. If you want to see Howard at her best be at Manhattan Casino on New Year's night. Thanksgiving afternoon the Incorporators will open the season at Manhattan Casino. Game and spot dances for prizes. "Incorporators" Schedule Season 1916-17. The following is a list of the biggest games. The schedule comprising all other games will be published later. Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 30 - St. Dogglas, Manhattan Casino. Christmas Night, Dec. 25 - Imperial, Orange, N. J. Howard University's Night, Jan. 1, 1917 - Howard University, Manhattan Casino Friday Night, March 2 - Lincoln University, Manhattan Casino Friday Night, March 9-Vandale, Atlantic City, N. J. Saturday Night, March 17—Monticello, Delaware, Pittsburgh. The "Incorporators" have had their name incorporated under the State laws of New York which protects the use of the name and avoids any infringement upon its rights by any other organization. The board of directors of the Anthony Madison Cine Inc., are Will Anthony Madison, the Chairman, Ray Harold Harding, Walter S. Cooper and Edgar Perkinson. The organization shall from time to time continue to give to the public the very highest form of entertainment that it has been accustomed to giving whether in athletics or social life. The public can look forward to the year 1917 with great expectation of enjoying some of the finest entertainments that it is possible to stage. Application blanks for the organization have just been issued and same may be had by applying the secretary Raymond B. Wright, 672 Third avenue, New York City. This is the "Incorporators" third year of existence and its progress has been so rapid the club deemed it necessary to take precautionary methods to protect its best interests. A. 4. C. T. Dofsdata Lixinustone Out of four games played this season, A and T has won three from Shaw, 20 to 0. Highpoint, 12 to 0 and I. Winnings, 10 to 0. The game is quite sure A and T will not get the win. The greatest name of the season will be on Thanksgiving Day between Bennett College and A and T., which will be reported in this paper. ```markdown ``` PUGILISM. (BY ALEXANDER WATERS). Harlem Sporting Club, 135th street and Madison avenue.—On last Friday night in one of the ten-round bouts of the evening Mark Spencer of Harlem met Mickey Dunn of the West Side. Although not fighting up to his regular form, Spencer made a very credible challenge to the entire every round by being the aggressor. The fight fans saw plenty of action in this bout, but it was a very poor fight considering the calibre of the two boys. A draw would have been the proper decision. Weights: 121; Spencer: 121; Dunn: 119. Vanderbilt A. C. Brooklyn—On last Friday night before a very large crowd Leo Johnson, the colored lightweight champion of the world, who has not fought in over a month, celebrated his return to the ring by decisively defeating Young Drummie of Jersey City. Johnson was never in better form than be was for this bout, and never wasted a blow, as his judgment of distance was good. He was also clever as clever. Drummie tried in every way to make a showing, and the colored boy beat him at anything that he tried. Johnson, who is the best infighter in the world, white or colored, simply smothered the white boy with stiff body punches and during the latter part of the fight Drummie was weak from it. Several times the colored boy shook up his opponent with hard over-hand冲击 to the jaw, unable to put him in. At the end of the fight Drummie was a very battered up young man. Weights—Drummie, 136; Johnson, 134. A special bout was staged between Kid Rash and Kid-Bacon. These boys have met almost as often as Langford and Jeannette, but their showing is much better, as both are very aggressive and clever, with Rash carrying off the honors he gave to Bacon, but he has to give away weight to Bacon, demonstrating again to the fans that he is still Bacon's master, as he outpointed him very easily, offsetting Bacon's rushes with his clever footwork. Weights—Rash, 113; Bacon, 119%. Village A. C. Eighth avenue and 25th and 26th street. On last Friday night matchmaker, Jim Buckley staged his first mixed bout at this club, when Darkey Griffin, the colored whirlwind of Brooklyn, and the cleverest bantamweight in the world, colored or white, met K. O. Eggers, the hard-hitting bantamweight of the West Side, in the star bout of the evening. Griffin had a very hard battle, as Eggers is a hard nut to crack. He was the best bantamweight, the best ringed boy was the best ring general he was entitled to the honors at the end of the tenth round by a slight margin. In the semi-final of the evening George Basden of New York met Kid Fredricks and, although outclassed, Basden proceeded to make a very interesting bont of his cleverness. But his more experienced opponent was in front all the way, and had a decision been rendered Fredericks would have received it. Weights—Baden, 119; Fredricks, 121. New Polo A. C., 129th street and Park avenue.—In the star bout of the evening Sailor Vork knocked out George Anderson in the third round. The colored boy was holding his own with his white opponent up to this time. Queensboro A.C. Long Island City. On last Saturday night before a packed house the Porto Rican middleweight champion, Nero Chink, met Kid Queen in the star bout of the evening. The colored boy added another victim to his long list of defeated rivals when he put his white opponent to sleep with a right-hand swing to the jaw in the sixth round to the jaw in the fourth. As the Porto Rican was in great shape and fought really up to his standard. He floored the white boy several times before the end came in the sixth round. Weights—Chink, 163; Queen, 169. Germont A. C., Brooklyn—On last Thursday night before a very large crowd of fight fans considering the inclement weather Young Hicks of Orange, N. J., a claimant of the colored wetterweight title and a boy who really can fight, met Walter Mohr, the toughest fighter that Brooklyn can produce. Hicks, who has not fought in some time, was in perfect condition, and carried the white boy at a vicious clip, shaking him up with a vicious rights and lefts to the jaw and body and meeting his constant challenge. Mohr, the boy kept on belag aggressive and in close quarters made a creditable showing, but the colored boy's clean work gained him the honors. In the last part of the boast it looked as though Hicks would finish him, but Mohr stood all that he gave him and was fighting hard when the bell rang ending the fight. Weights—Hicks, 148; Mohr, 142. William (BILL) Watkins, the colored light heavyweight of New York, has engaged another manager and expects to do a lot of fighting in the near future. Joe McKenna, the matchmaker of the yeeun will in the future look out for the interim boxing boy, and has already signed him up for several important fights. TU8KEGEE'S FOOTBLL TEAM TUSKEGE INSTITUTE, ALA.-With only the game on Thanksgiving Day against Montgomery State Normal, the football season of the Tuskegee Institute team is practically completed. The outcome of that game will have no effect. After lining to Morehouse by the lion-sided score of 23 to 0, Tuskegee pulled itself together and administered a 6 to 0 defeat to the powerful Talladega College outfit. In the last issue of the Tuskegee Student, Joseph L. Whiting, head of the Division of Education in the Department, analyzed the football situation at Tuskegee, pointing out weaknesses and indicating remedies. Mr. Whiting's article in part is as follows: "The team has suffered, and does suffer each year, because of the poor and delayed schedule. The initial ontiumism that permeates the equid in the --- ★ ★ ★ early days of the season dies out for want of sufficient rivalry to feed upon. It is not at all competent or conducive to the team's effective development that nearly two months, after the opening of school, should find the squad without a preliminary or practice game. The team cannot successfully measure its progress by competing with itself. Practice and drill become commonplace when there is no occasion to test their application in maneuvers under novel situations. The team's success should not be left to a benevolent neutrality without preparation adequate to justify probable expectations. "There should be a policy put on foot that will make it easier for the team to win games; desultory support, and an uncertifi- and indefinite schedule have certainly operated to encompass the team's continued defeat. There certainly ought to be a game soon after the opening of school. Such a context would stimulate internet, kindle enthuishe, and inject vim and purpose in preliminary practice. The great element of chance that pushes the present policy undermines the most serious precautions of coach-instruction and leaves its portent with the squand. "There is no system of organized cheering, the attention of the game is unimportant and scarcely representative. It does seem perfectly possible that both of these factors might be efficiently rationalized so as to assure on all occasions that sympathetic support so necessary to the team's best efforts under strenuous rivalry. "The team, good or bad, must be considered as representative. It has a great constituency, and therefore its organization ought to command a dignified and studious attention. Now, perhaps, at the close of another season, is the time to begin to strengthen the policy, if that policy, I submit, be the root of much evil. There are certain remedial features which may seem to suggest themselves, viz. "(1) Tuskegee ought to have a distinct organization known as the "Tuskegee Athletic Association." "(2) A reasonably small fee paid by the students at the beginning of the school year should entitle them to membership and admittance to all games of whatever nature during that scholastic year. "(3) An earlier and longer schedule. "(4) An organized system of sheering. "(5) A greater number of games should be played on the home grounds at Tuskegee. "(6) The management ought to include greater participation by the Alumni and students." WIN Jamestownville, Fla.—The championship in football for the State of Florida and the southern part of Georgia again went to Edward Waters College when they defeated the final eleven of the Florida State Conference Friday, the day before, by the score of 12-6. The Florida Baptist aggregation, overconfident of winning the victory, journeyed over to Barr's Field two hours before the game. Edward Waters aggregation arrived there at 2 o'clock. As soon as these two schools faced each other there was a beering and cheering, Edward Waters a song, "They Would Win Today" and faced with a song, "Now Hush." At 2.30 p. m. the referee sounded his whistle and the two teams were off, the Academy boys outweighing the Edward Waters boys man to man. The first period found the score standing 6-0 in favor of the Baptist boys. The second period Edward Waters held them a little better and the score remained the same. During this first half the academy boys rushed into the game as if they were two more touchdowns, but their speed was checked and they were held for downs. At the beginning of the second half the Edward Waters team came into the game hot and fiery with the desire of winning over the opponents. The third period started with the ball in E. W. C.'s possession and they made a charge up the field. With about a yard to go, Counts, the swift half-bearer for E. W. C. went for the ball. Hick at goal by Long made, thus the score standing 6-8. At the beginning of the fourth period E. W. C. started in with forward passing, which was too much for the Academy, and in five minutes' play they had gone again for another touchdown by a forward pass from Rice to Cromartiae. Score at this stage stood 12-6. Edward Waters. The Academy tried to come back with the punch, but E. W. C. with vim tiger played for all that was in them, and Academy's went for naught. J. L. Simms of Wilberforce University is coach for Edward Waters, with J. H. Simms of Kansas University as assistant coach. Final score, 12 to 6.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The homes of Mrs. Mattie Walker and Mrs. Adatus of Rosedale were destroyed by fire last week. This is the third fire within sixty days, destroying from one to seven homes—all owned by Negroes except three. There is an Improvement and Civic League in Rosedale with the following members: John H. Jones, chairman; E. S. Middlebrook, secretary; J. C. Findley, treasurer. It is claimed by some of the citizens of Rosedale that when they got the required amount of money and went to the Birmingham waterworks people for getting a plug that the water company said they were not ready to make the contract. Now these people in Rosedale who own homes and want to protect them had better get together with each other. For there are manufacturing plants in other cities, if none in Birmingham, who make a specialty of selling apparatus for the use of putting out fires in country places out of the cities. Steele-Smith, a dry goods store of Birmingham owned and operated by white people except porters, etc., celebrates their eighth annual Christmas toy contest. There are more than 1,000 Negro children's names entered by that firm, which shows their appreciation of their patronage. The Colored Infirmary to be operated by the city of Birmingham will open its doors on Thanksgiving Day, November 30. A program will be rendered, at which time many prominent citizens of Birmingham will appear with what they believe is best for their colored citizens.

The program was opened by the young debutante, Miss Blanche Nixon. with a note, the soft medical manner of which would do credit to one with years of experience.

All Agents are requested to order only the number of papers they can sell - On account of the increase in cost of paper, unsold copies will not be returnable. Raleigh, N. C.—Your correspondent wishes to say to all, whom it may concern that his news lotter last week reached the editor too late for publication, notwithstanding we mailed it in this postoffice at noon on Monday. As soon as we learned of the above fact, we called on the postmaster for an explanation, and were told that mail routed for New York City from this office missed railroad connections—hence the mail was delayed in arriving in New York City. The Auxiliary Board of Associated Charities in this city is arranging to give the indigent, poor a basket of eatables, such as flour, tea, coffee, sugar, rice, bacon and vegetables for their Thanksgiving dinner next Thursday. The ministerial union is co-operating with the Auxiliary Board of Charities in this work. A committee of three indies from each church will moot in the school room of the Davis Street Presbyterian Church Wednesday morning and fill the baskets which will be loaded upon drays and autos and delivered to the deserving poor. Col. James H. Young, chairman of the Auxiliary Board of Charities, T. L. McCoy, Secretary and Mrs. Annie G'Perkinson, district nurse, will superintend the distribution of these gifts to the poor. The writer some years ago launched a campaign among his people in this city to arouse them to the sense of duty we owe to our poor; to-day he has the satisfaction of knowing that the fire is burning and is touching nearly every able-bodied man and woman in the city; in that they are responding cheerfully to the appeal for systematic charity to the poor. All of the Churches and secret lodges of the city are regular monthly contributors to the charity fund. The city commissioners contribute half of the salary of the district nurse, which is $600 per annum. Mrs. Rustie Bentley, of Newton, Va., and Mrs. Jessie Brunz of College Hill, Ohio, sister and niece, respectively of Jessie Brunz of this city are here on a visit. Mrs. Willie Otter Kay, wife of Dr. John Kay of Wilmington, N. C., is in the city visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Otey. Mr. Kay presented the doctor with a fine baby girl on the 13th of the present month, and the doctor is all amies. Dr. H. B. Eaton, a druggist in Georgetown, S. C., was in the city last week consulting Dr. Lewis, an oye specialist. Miss Mabel Honeycutt of West Raleigh, has gone to Windsor, N. C., to teach in the public school there. John H. Bias, Jr., son of Prof. Bias of Shaw University, is not quite ten years old. Johnnie told his father that he wanted to sell the New York Age every Saturday; whereupon Prof. Bias saw The Age's representative and arrangements were made for little Johnnie to get copies of The Age as soon as they are taken out of the postoffice every Saturday morning. By 3 o'clock every Saturday afternoon little Johnnie reports back to our office—"All papers sold," recycles his commission and returns home happy in the possession of money he earned by his own endeavor. There are thousands of little colored boys all over this country that can do as little Johnnie is doing—sell The New York Age every Saturday. They would early learn the habit of earning money in a legitimate way and under the direction of their parents a bank account which every child should have to his credit. Prof. Bias is to be commended for the effort he is putting forth to train his son how to earn money and at the same time assist in diffusing knowledge among his people. Observation and experience have satisfied your correspondent that thousands and thousands of Negroes will buy and read Negro papers when they are offered to them, but they will not put To our mind, these people can be successfully reached. through our school teachers and preachers, who we all know come in closer contact with the general masses than any other agency. Race pride ought to impell them to use their influence iniding the circulation of newspapers among us. The preacher ought to tell the people of the service a race paper renders to its people on all matters affecting the race's progress in the business world, religion and political happenings, all of which are not mentioned in white men's newspapers. The school teacher ought to impress upon the minds of the children the full meaning of the words race pride—how to practice it, and the good that will come to us as a race by so doing. This lever properly used by our preachers and school teachers can do the race more good as an uplifter than any other agencies I know of. Observation and experience have convinced the writer that eighty-five per cent. of our preachers and teachers fall to preach and teach those doctrines. The Negro must be awakened to the importance of reading Negro newspapers. As a race we must learn to work in unison for our advancement. We must learn to co-operate one with the other in every avenue of industry. Strange to say, we co-operate and in a measure flourish building churches, and lodge halls—but not in building school houses and stores wherein to transact business among ourselves. Fifty years hence, our children will look back with shame upon our neglect. Let us right about and march together along business lines from henceforth, and take my word for it, in less than ten years we will look upon thousands and thousands of young men, young women and many older ones, behind counters and in offices earning a livelihood.

E. Zion Church, filled the pituit at pub services Sunday. At 10.45 a.m. he spoke from the subject, "Household of Faith." At 7.45 p.m., m., "The Divine Reward for Sacrifice." "Both services were well attended. During the day notes for interest on the church debt were read as paid and the sum of two thousand dollars paid in the mortgage of the church on the mortgage of the congregation when we note that under Wallace's five months' pastorate at this church they have purchased a parsonage, three-story and basement brick, and spent over a thousand dollars for work done on the same—all of which has been paid. This serves to show how he retained his popularity in other charges after having served so long.
