GRAND JURY IS INVESTIGATING Memphis Officials Make First Move to Apprehend the Murderers of Eli Persons. JUDGE PURYEAR'S CHARGE Instructs Jurymen to Carefully Consider All Evidence Produced in Disgraceful Affair Which Has Been Bitterly Condemned by Negroes Throughout the Country. Memphis, Tenn.—The grand jury has taken up the lynching of Eli Persons, who was beheaded and his body burned by a mob some days ago. While the grand jury has not been called upon to exercise its inquisitorial powers in discovering those who took part in the lynching, it has been told by Judge D. B. Puryear that when the facts have been placed before them they must be acted upon fearlessly, fairly and impartially. Judge Puryear's charge to the grand jury follows: "It is a matter of general knowledge that on the day this grand jury was impaned, a Negro, Eli Persons, who was under indictment by this court, was taken from the officers of the law, and killed by a large crowd of unmasked men at a place within the county of Shelby, and therefore within the territorial jurisdiction of this court and killed by the crime with which Persons are charged and of which he was indoubt- The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text or figures.

Mrs. BLANCHE POWELL-KING edly guilty was a hideously revolting one, for which no punishment could be too severe and by which public indignation was justly aroused. This public indignation and resentment, instead of expressing itself by an offer of co-operation with the officers and courts in speedily bringing the criminal to justice and execution, culminated in an organized opposition to lawful court procedure in the case and in an organized plan for a summary and lawful execution of the Negro. This plan apparently was concurred in by a later part of the community and seem- The Cle TOMORROW (FRIDAY) NIGHT The Clef Club Dancing will begin at 10 o'clock sharp.

Not a voice outside the sworn officers of the law was raised in behalf of an orderly and lawful procedure in the case and not an offer of assistance made to the officers by a citizen. "This preponderance of public sentiment, however, does not change the law and does not relieve me of my duty as a judge nor you of your duty as a grand jury to enforce the law. The act of a man or any number of men in killing Eli Persons because, he himself was guilty of an atrocious crime was an unlawful act and all persons participating in it, or present, aiding and abetting, or ready and willing to aid and abet it, as required." "This is not an offence which falls within your inquisitorial powers, but it has been explained to you, but it is the duty of officers of the law and the right of every citizen to bring before you the facts relating to this transaction, and I charge you when such facts are presented to you that you act upon them fearlessly, fairly and impartially." "As before stated, the law is that all persons present, aiding or abetting, or ready and willing to aid and abet in the commission of a criminal offense, are guilty as principals, and that the killing of Eli Persons by a crowd of men who assumed to punish him for his crime is a criminal offense. Is your duty to return indictments against all persons who under the foregoing statement of the law, you find to be guilty of a criminal offense in connection with this affair, and the attorney-general will advise you as to the grade of the offense, and draw such indictments as may be necessary if the proof presented justifies them." KING-POWELL WEDDING LARGEST OF THE YEAR A marriage of interest to a large circle of acquaintances throughout the country, and the largest and prettiest wedding of the season in New York, took place Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock, when Miss Blanche Fletcher Powell, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. A. Clayton Powell, became the bride of Clarence Doyle King, of Richmond, Va. Absynsian Baptist Church, 242 W. Forsteth street, of which Dr. Powell is pastor, was thronged with friends and invited guests. Several hundred were unable to gain admittance. The nuptial rites were performed by Dr. Powell, assisted by Dr. W. P. Hayes, pastor of Mt. Olivef Baptist Church. The bride-to-be was given away by Counsellor G. H. Touliver, of New Haven, a cousin of Dr. Powell. 1. Before the ceremony, a solo, "O Promise Me," was rendered by C. W. Merritt. "Mendelsohn's Wedding March" was played by Mrs Estelle Hawkins. The bride presented a striking picture, and was dressed in white satin, opalescent trimming, tulle veil with orange blossoms. Her maid-of-honor, Miss Ethel Gardner, was dressed in blue silk, opalescent trimming, blue silk hat trimmed with forget-me-nots. The bridesmaids were Miss Marie Haskin, blue satin and lace with hat (Continued on Page 2.) ef Club IT, MANHATTAN CASINO Roosevelt Planned To Form 2 Negro Regiments Harlem is to have a big Fourth of July celebration, conducted under the auspices of the city government, and extensive preparations are under way to make the occasion one of the biggest and most patriotic demonstrations held in Greater New York. The Rev. R. M. Bolden, who is a member of the Mayor's Independence Committee, has issued the following: "The Liberty Loving Society issues a call from 105 W. 130th street, to all persons in the Harlem District interested in the liberty and freedom of all people, especially the colored man and woman. The primary object of the occasion just now is to co-operate with the Mayor's Independence Day Committee of which the Hon. George Gordon Battle is chairman. He desires that there shall be a great co-operative democratic celebration on Fourth of July. The call is issued to you who loves liberty, and you are hereby notified and requested to answer this call between the hours of 8:30 and 10 p. m., Friday, June 8. The meeting will open at 9 o'clock sharp." Roosevelt P Form 2 Neg (Special to The New York Age) WASKINGTON, D. C—It now transpires that it was the intention of Col. Theodore Roosevelt to take with him to France at least two colored regiments instead of one as has been generally published, if President Wilson had accepted the tender of himself and associates. This fact is disclosed in a recent letter, addressed by Col. Roosevelt to Emmet I. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute. Col. Roosevelt in his letter to Mr. Scott writes: METROPOLITAN 432 Fourth Avenue, New York Office of Theatre Bureau May 17, 1917 My dear Mr. Scott: If the volunteer organizations, provided for by Congress, are allowed, I should like to use at least two colored regiments. One of them should be under Lieutenant Colonel Young, who is admirably alert. If you would hope he would consult with some of the men for officers, but he would himself be the best judge about the officers. The other I should hope would be under another regular army officer, with William J. Schieffellin as lieutenant colonel. If you will make inquiries and recommend to Mr. Schieffellin colored men of the PEEKSKILL OFFICIALS LAUD THE FIFTEENTH (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) PEEKSKILL, N. Y.—So commendable was the department of the Fifteenth Regiment while at the State Rifle Range, Peekskill, that letters praising the conduct of the men were sent to Governor Whitman, Major General O'Ryan and Col William Hayward by Leverett F. Cdumb, President of the Village of Peekskill. The communication to Col Hayward follows: Peekskills, N. Y. June 2, 1917 Col. William Hayward, M.D. Permit me as President of the Village of Peckskill, through you to commend the men of the Fifteenth Infantry, while in camp near Peckskill and particularly to commend them to having regiments of soldiers camped upon our borders, and to have them about our streets and I think it is but fair to say that the department of the colony was exceptionally entitled to commendation During their seventeen days' stay here there was not a single complaint made to our police, even to the extent of rowdyism, to large a number of men is an exception. The soldierly department of your men is highly appreciated by our community, and we have no doubt that if they should be mustered into the United States service they heard from as a gallant regiment.

It will thus be seen that if the volunteer division presided by Congress had been approved by President Wilson, two regiments of black-colored men would have shared the dangers of the present European hill with the Sage of Sagamore Hill. The Rosevelt shows his confidence in the quality of the Negro to command and organizations by naming specially Col. Young, the only living Negro graduate of West Point now serving in the regular army. Lieut. Col. Young. He will be remembered, has seen much of foreign service already and has given a large amount of technical and United States Government, both military and Liberal. His record is a proud of Dr. William H. Philanthropist, New York philanthropist and business man is a trustee of both Hampton Institute and Tuskegee Institute, and has shown the most cordial spirit of friendly interest in all that concerns the welfare of the Negro. Col. Roosevelt's choice of him as an important officer in the second regiment would have been entirely gratifying to the colored people in general. A fellowship in the American College of Physicians was conferred on Dr. Alzernon B. Jackson, superintendent of Mercey Hospital, at the second convocation of the American College of Physicians, held Tuesday evening at the Hotel Nassau, Long Beach, Long Island. The honor came as a recognition of Dr. Jackson's original work in rheumatism, the results of which were published in the New York Dr. ALGERNON R. JACKSON Medical Journal and London Practitioner some years ago, attracting international attention in medical circles. The American College of Physician is made up of medical men who have done reasearch work in internal medicine and who have published the results of their investigations in medical literature. Dr. Reynold Webb Wilcox of New York, conferred the fellowships. Dr. Jackson is the first Negro physician in the country to be honored by the American College of Physicians. After the convocation a banquet was held in the banquet hall of the Hotel Nassau, which was attended by 250 prominent physicians from all sections of the country. Former Governor Pinchback Is Honored at Washington On His Eightieth Anniversary (Special to The New York Ack) Washington, D. C.—Odd Fellows' Hall was the scene of a remarkable and brilliant function Saturday evening, the occasion being a testimonial in honor of former Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback, who has just reached his eighteenth birthday. Two hundred men, many from out of town, assembled to do honor to this distinguished man, who has been recognized as a leading force among colored men in all of the years since the ballot was given to the Negro in the southern states. P. B. S. Pinchback has a unique record among men. He was State Senator, Lieut. Governor and Governor of Louisiana. He was elected to the United State Senate from that State at the same time that he was Congressman at-large. No other man ever had this dual honor in our National Congress but one that James A. Jackson also served as surveyor of Port of New Orleans. For the past quarter of a century he has lived in Washington as a retired citizen. During his active political career he was a delegate to all of the National Convention of the Republican party, representing his State as one of the "big four." In all matters touching the interests and rights of the black man in this country Pinchback has given his voice, his time, and his energy on the side of the people to whom he has always shown an unswerving loyalty. The telegrams and letters that came to the committee in charge of the testimonial last Saturday from all parts of the country give evidence of the deep affection and esteem the colored people have for their old tried and intrepid leader. All men are trained with praise of the man who had honored his race in such a distinguished manner as the octogenarian guest of the occasion. 18. Public Schools—Prof. W. S. Montgomery. 19.

OFFICIALS COOPERATE TO PUNISH POLICE The machinery of both the District Attorney's Office and the Police Department have been set in motion to punish the police officers who lost their heads, needlessly killing one man and injuring others. The committee of Negroes in the district, headed by the Rev. George H. Sims, pastor of Union Baptist Church, is making a determined effort to punish the guilty officers, and assurances have been given that punishment will be meted out to the offenders if the charges preferred against them are substantiated. Tuesday the Rev. Sims received a communication from Police Commissioner Woods-giving assurances. PINCHBACK thorough investigation of the shooting is in progress. He held a conference last week with Third Deputy Police Commissioner Dunham, under whose direction the Police Department is conducting the inquiry. District Attorney Swann informed members of the committee that the police who killed Richard Hill will be prosecuted if proof is furnished that they shot without provocation. In the 54th Street Police Court Tuesday Eugene Greaves, who was shot in the leg by a police officer, while waiting on customers in his grocery store in Sixty-third street, and the placed under arrest, charged with felonious assault, aws discharged. No policeman had the nerve to prosecute. After the police had killed Richard Hill they shot into the grocery store wounding Mr. Greaves in the leg and his nice in the thigh. The former was then arrested and taken to the Bellvue Hospital where medical attention was given --- PRICE FIVE CENTS THE NEW YORK AGE.

CANNON WRITES TO MAYOR OF MEMPHIS (Special to The New York Act) Jesse Avery, N. J. Dr. George E. Cannon, chairman of the executive committee, of the National Medical Association, has written a letter to the Mayor of Memphis advising him that the annual convention of the association, which was to have been held at Memphis in August, has been called off owing to the recent lynching in that city. Dr. Cannon's letter follows: Office of Chairman of Executive Board, 354 Pacific Ave., Jersey City, N. J. June 1, 1917 Honorable Mayor, Memphis, Tenn. Dear Sir, At our meeting last August, in Kansas City, Mo., the colored physicians from Memphis presented an invitation from you, inviting us to hold our national convention in Memphis in August, 1917. This invitation, backed by one from the Business Mtn. Club and also strongly supported by the colored physicians of Memphis and vicinity, wielded such a strong influence over the convention that it won over very flattering invitations from other cities, and we decided to come to Memphis. At this late date, however, I regret to state that I have been appalled to call off the convention in Memphis, owing to the recent demonstration of mob violence in your city. The fact that the mob autobiography of the local physicians themself and a campaign for our national convention by throwing the designated head of the venerated Negro into their midst, has filled us with such fear and discomfort; that I as chairman of the executive board, tell compelled to call off the meeting of the convention in your city. We deeply regret this step, as the colored physicians of Memphis and vicinity are among the altest of the professional men in our medical association. We are hoping that the day will come when the white and colored people will dwell together in peace and harmony, and that the majesty of the law will be supreme in all cases, and no violence a thing of the past. We had made great preparations for a grand convention in Memphis and it only means a disappointment to many of us who had looked forward with plea to be meeting in Memphis. Very respectfully yours. Dr. Cannon states that it has not been decided yet whether the convention will be held in Philadelphia or Atlantic City. However, arrangements are being perfected as rapidly as possible and the place of meeting will be announced in the next issue of THE AOF.

With regard to the injustices to which the Negro of the South is sometimes subjected, and which are responsible for the present movement of Negroes from the South, Dr Moton said: The South should see to it that the labor movements from Northern industrial centers have just begun for appeal on account of injustice to the Negro. I can quite frankly say that the Negro race is always humiliated and embarrassed by crimes such as is alleged to have been committed by a Negro in a post State.

NEGRO MADE POSTMASTER Wingrickson, O. J. D. M. Russell, who has been appointed postmaster at Wellington is a Kentucky Negro, and Wellington that he is a Kentucky Negro, and that he is at three or four brothers who always have attended with and worked for the Democratic party. As the story goes, Senator Alice Pomerene of Omaha found that there was no Negro in Wellington which is a Negro college town, who had supported the Democratic ticket eligible for appointment to the postmastership which pays $1,500. In a conversation with Senator I. O. W. Beckham, he mentioned this fact. Senator Beckham remembered that I. D. M.

S. Pinchback in Washington on his eightieth birthday. One of the few surviving figures of Reconstruction times, he has made a place for the race in the history of that stirring period as a man among men, a stalwart of the stalwarts. A leader of Republicans when such leadership invited the bullets of the Ku Klux Klan, he served his native State, Louisiana, as Lieutenar-Governor, Representative in Congress and was finally elected United States Senator. Throughout his varied and active career he was uncompromising in his insistence for the full measure of manhood rights for himself and the people he represented. BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE During the past few weeks the schools and colleges in all sections of the country have been turning out young men and young women prepared in some measure at least to fill some place in the business of life. How diversified this preparation has been is indicated by the variety of degrees conferred on the graduates. Degrees of bachelor of science, medicine, law, pharmacy, dentistry, were supplemented by certificates in domestic science, commercial training, and the various industrial trades from carpentry and blacksmithing to tailoring and dressmaking. This is all very well as far as it goes and it only remains for these young people to find productive fields for the working out of their individual problems, to put their equipment to the practical test of returning a dividend on the capital invested in securing it. A lawyer or a physician cannot succeed without clients. Dentists and druggists require customers in order to make a livelihood. Even carpenters and bricklayers cannot work at their trades unless there is employment found for their services in building. Avenues must be provided for the exercise of the various trades and professions represented among these graduates. This can only be made possible through the existence of an underlying strata of wage earners, receiving and distributing the fruits of their labor through the channels of the race. If those commanding the required capital, small though it may be, inaugurate business enterprises that will command race support, the channels of commercial activity will be set flowing in such a way as to promote the growth of the various trades and professions represented. race progress must race. Find ways to build this foundation is the problem before the race at this period in its history. The need of constructive effort in the industrial and commercial development of race enterprises should engage the efforts of its leaders and thinkers. Recently we had an article on the present need for a Negro labor leader of national influence and power. This article brought from W. A. Armwood of Tampa, Fla., an interesting letter, full of information on labor conditions as they affect the race, which we publish elsewhere. Mr. Armwood's letter prompts us to say more on the subject. That there is capacity for organized and sustained effort within the race has been shown in the organization of the multitude of religious bodies and secret orders that maintain an active existence, though sometimes disturbed by internal disensions. The problem is how to harness this capacity for organization to the prosaic but highly necessary task of developing the industrial and commercial future of the race. For more than a year we have been pointing out in these columns the vital effects that the exodus from the South may have on the race. Effects that it certainly will have, if the race exercises foresight and wisdom enough to take full advantage of conditions. We have said that this exodus is the most important thing that has happened in the history of the race since the adoption of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution. We have shown that the direct results will be the securing of better treatment in the South and the gaining of larger economic independence and political power in the North. Concerted effort on the part of all our organizations for the encouragement of race enterprises would do much for the industrial development along race lines and make certain the field for useful employment of the graduates being turned out in such numbers by our schools and colleges. Of course, the blind forces that are at work will bring about these results in some degree, whether the Negro takes intelligent thought of them or not, but the best results cannot be secured unless the Negro himself takes a hand in intelligently directing these forces. All of the benefits to be gained from the exodus depend in degree upon the number of colored people who are able to come north and stay; the larger the number, the greater the benefits. The mere fact of their coming north will produce no permanently good results, unless they are able to stay. In fact, a tidal movement back and forth of large numbers of colored people might have very bad results. Now, it needs no argument to prove that large numbers of colored people can come north and stay only if they can get jobs and hold them. So the whole situation hangs upon the ability of these people to adjust themselves industrially and economically. Reduced to the simplest terms, the whole situation hangs upon jobs. Let the thinkers and leaders grapple with the problem of harnessing the forces of the existing organizations into a steady source of support and development of the industrial and commercial future of the race. Put the vast forces of organization into some practical effort to sustain and uphold the graduates, who are planning for a useful future. The demand for laborers and workmen is so great that up to the present colored men have found very little difficulty in getting employment; but there are two dangers that must be guarded against. Some steps should be taken to prevent the irresponsible, shiftless class from making a bad name for Negro labor, and something should be done to prevent any serious clash between colored workmen and the great labor union organizations. Already there have been too many complaints about the shiftlessness of Negro labor. A number of northern employers who are accustomed to steady workmen have had good reason for complaint. They threw their doors open to colored men and found that after pay day the men would not show up; in some instances, after having their passage north paid, the men would not show up for work at all. The Pennsylvania Railroad which was the first of the great northern concerns to seek colored labor in the South is loudest in these complaints. There is a reason. As our correspondent says concerning the Pennsylvania Railroad, that company sent agents south and had them spread the news that they had free transportation for as many men as wanted to go north to work; these notices gave only a day or two to those who wished to take advantage of the offer. As a result, many of the most shiftless and unreliable of the race, attracted by the prospect of a trip north, were gathered in. The steady, reliable class would demand more time and more definite information before they would be willing to pull up and leave. That something has already been accomplished along these lines must be conceded, but the need for greater effort is so pressing, that what has been accomplished seems to count but a drop in the bucket. The drops must be swelled into a steady stream of encouragement, before progress can be marked along these lines. It is in the power of those directing the policies of race organizations to help or retard the material progress of the race. UNNECESSARY BARRIERS In a recent issue, the Public, which styles itself "an International Journal of Fundamental Democracy," published in Chicago, cites the case of a woman who graduated as a physician at the head of her class, and yet was refused an internship at a hospital because she was colored. The particular point emphasized by the Public, is that several states have passed laws requiring service as an intern as a prerequisite to practice. But notwithstanding the fact that there is a reasonable explanation of the disappointment which some northern employers have experienced with the shiftless, unreliable class that came up in the first great rush, it is also a fact that the explanation will not entirely remedy the damage that has already been done. Some of the employers who have been disappointed will always declare and believe that Negro labor is no good. It is further insisted that public authorities should at least arrange hospital service in a way that would make it possible for the large numbers of colored patients to have colored physicians. And above all no legislation should permit any rules of practice that would in any way limit the freedom of colored physicians to practice on an equality with others of the same standing. However, by a natural process, this condition is being rectified. Since the first great rush, the people coming north are more and more largely of the steady, reliable class. This is due to the fact that agents are no longer recruiting wholesale in the South. The people who have come north and secured jobs are writing back to their relatives and friends to come on. This is by far the better method, for in most cases, those who write have their eyes on a job for those who come. This process is selective, and in time will produce a steady flow northward of the best element of colored working people who will become adjusted economically and socially as soon as they arrive. The wholesale and indiscriminate method of the recruiting agents would have led eventually to chaos. This is good doctrine for an exponent of fundamental democracy as well as a matter of simple justice, and should commend itself to those friends of the race who control various public institutions for the race that are willing to relieve cases of suffering, but debar the medical students of the race from participating in that relief and thus deprive them of the opportunity to gain the experience needful to complete their training. Nevertheless, the reputation that is to be made by Negro labor in the North should not be left wholly to chance and natural tendencies; there should be some sort of intelligent, organized effort to supply the right kind of employer with the right kind of men. As to the second danger, clashes between colored workmen and the great labor union organizations, there are already some signs. The East St. Louis riot is a symptom. Up to now there has not been much trouble in this direction because the great mass of Negroes brought north has been employed in only the roughest grades of labor. But when the employment of colored skilled laborers and artisans reaches a certain mark, there is sure to be opposition on the part of the white labor unions. This opposition will probably take on the form of race riots and will be so heralded to the world by the newspapers; but the fundamental reason for these outbreaks will not be racial, it will be economic. As to whether or not the Negro should seek to become an integral part of the white labor unions, there is much to be said on both sides. It is a question that we shall discuss at a future time. As the Public sympathetically concludes, "the way of the colored boy and girl is already hard enough, without erecting any unnecessary barriers." In an inspired news article under the Washington date line, published in the New York Sun, emphasis is laid upon the statement that so far as the Federal registration was concerned, there was no distinction shown between the races. The supposition is that slightly over one million Negroes registered. Just how many will be called is problematical, but it is said to be the purpose of the War Department to call on them wherever they can be fitted into the service. After the usual tribute to the unex- All the thoughtful colored men must at least realize this truth: the issues at stake in this movement of our people from the South to the North are too great to be left to chance or to adjust them- celled record of the race as soldiers, our luminous contemporary cannot refrain from reiterating the well-worn platitude that "department records show that Ne gro enlisted men prefer white officers." It was an evident sense of the fitness of things that induced the Sun to remove, from its heading the legend reading "If you see it in the Sun it's so." since the economic and industrial forces involved. To accomplish this, there must arise a single man, a man of vision and power. Such a man must be wise, he must be brave, and above all, he must be honest. We say that such a man can send his name down in race history alongside the names of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington, but we ask, "Where is the Man?" A CONFESSION. In last week's issue of The Age, Mayor W. T. Robertson of Montgomery, Ala., is quoted in a despatch from that city as making the following startling statement; There is money in farming, lots of it, but the Negro farmer has been systematically robbed by the white man since the close of the Civil War. They haven't been treated right and no one can blame them for quitting the soil. If the Negro farmers would be returned all the interest in excess of 8 per cent. charged them for money advanced them, they would to-day be living in brownstone mansions, just as the rich white advancers do! Quite frequently a true confession is wrung from a man on the gallows. The Negro exodus is wringing some true confessions from the southern whites, and no truer confession ever fell from human lips than these words of Mayor Robertson. The charge is often made, especially in the South, that the Negro is lazy; this charge is made in spite of the fact that all the work in the South that has required any muscular effort and perspiration has, for two hundred and fifty years, been done by the Negro. If the colored people of the South were all lazy, they would have a good excuse because no matter how hard they work somebody else generally gets the benefit of their labor. But they are not, as a race, lazy. They are continually busy accumulating their little piles; then as soon as the pile is big enough, some unscrupulous white man comes along and sweeps it away. This process is continually going on with all that larger proportion of the race which is still ignorant of business and business methods. Not only, as Mayor Robertson confesses, are ignorant Negroes constantly robbed by usurious rates of interest, but they are often induced to sign papers and as a final result lose the little farm or the little home they were trying to purchase. These practices are common, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are hundreds of thousands of respected white men in the South who are not respectable, as they make their living by robbing ignorant Negroes. The exodus is bringing forth some confessions that are good for the soul of the South. The South has always defended its sins, and that is one reason why it has remained in darkness; if it will confess before the world, there is hope that it will be saved. Let the good work go on. FROM THE CANAL ZONE. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: Enclosed please find postal money order for $2, to renew my subscription to THE AGE. I have been subscribing to your valuable race paper for several years, and I am proud, indeed, to be a subscriber. I have a high regard for your competent staff of editors. Wishing you the best of luck and success, I remain. Chairman P. N. FONTENELELLE. Ballboa, Panama. THE BRIGHTER SIDE To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: Your letter and receipt came in due course of mail. I am glad to say that you have had my earnest co-operation in pushing your paper ever since I became a subscriber. The fact that you put the bare facts before the world, whether good or bad, makes your paper praeworthy and should be commended by all of our people. Your persistent appeal for race units coupled with the many wrongs headed upon us, is indeed touching. That you are able to paint a picture of the brighter) side of life, through the same columns, simply proves the old proverb, that beyond the vail of clouds, there is a silver lining. LANNIE C. SHOLARS. Galveston, Tex. THE AGRICULTURAL ARMY. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: The call to government service appeals to every American. We are citizens and have a sacred duty to perform for our country. Our government is not calling us to stand behind the guns at present, but we can serve it faithfully and effectively with the plow and hoe. Let us not feel that this call is a disgrace or unnecessary one. There is glory and promotion service and pay in the agricultural army of Uncle Sam's. If our first assignment is Food Production, let us be patriotic and obedient to our country, and do it well. I have enlisted to work wherever my country needs me most; whether on the farm, in the factories, or behind the guns. Let us do to-day whatever is expected of us by our President. Whenever we are called to the trenches, we may be counted upon to defend the nation. We still have the courage of the soldiers who fought the Mexicans at Carrizal and the Spaniards at San Juan. TIME FOR-CALMNESS AND SERV- To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGEN- The United States has entered the great world war and it is now the duty of all of us to back that act with all the power that is possible for us to summon. Nothing can be gained or hoped for if we continue to wave hysterical arms and shout about segregation, discrimination and unjust persecution. We owe to our country the best that we have to give according to our talents, gifts, and opportunities which Providence has placed at our disposal. Now is the time to pay off and when the time is ripe, like the little chick that pips its shell, we, the race of color, will unhoson ourselves and find that we are living in a new world. We must serve, so let us serve cheerfully and in the best way we can. Let us serve as meu and not as fanatics and madmen Not all of us can wear the khaki; but we can all do our part—and we "also serve who only stand and wait"—who man the industries and farms, who keep and help to keep the channels of commerce open and the resources of its country productive, and who battle in the fields. For modern wars not won by --- armament alone—they are won by concentration of power for a given object and that power may take the form of munitions, money, food and articles of trade. Some of the black men must carry the rifle and some must serve elsewhere. We of the race must mobilize our resources so when we cease firing and stack arms, we can justly expect and consistently demand a place. We should be very foolish if we allowed even such an occasion as this, then to make us lose our heads. The farmer would be foolish if he did not plant his crops because he might, per haps be called to the colors. The mechanic and machinist would be foolish to quit their jobs because the bands are playing. The student would be foolish to quit his studies for a month or a year before enlisting, just because excitement is in the air. We should go about our tasks with even more earnestness than ever before, whether it be following the colors or supporting the colors. Even the enlisted man need not give up his plans for self-improvement. For the time will come when the war will be over. Each man then will need every bit of the technical and vocational knowledge that he can get. The nation and race will need you all the more if you have knowledge, for after this war will come another war—perhaps greater—the great war of competition. Right now, prepare for it. The race will support this country nobly; but will it keep calm? Will it think? Will it plan? F. MONROE LISTON. Fort Huachuca, Ariz. NEED FOR LABOR LEADERSHIP. Contributing Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE I want to commend you on your editorial in THE AGE of the 17th instant, "Chance for Negro Leader." Your appeal for a leader to organize Negro labor is one that should be made loud and hard, and answered by one who is willing to work for the great good he can do for our people. I have recently returned from a four months' stay in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, where I investigated the labor situation thoroughly and can say from first hand knowledge that there is not a side of our racial life that is so badly in need of organization and direction. I have for many years seen the need of a Negro labor organization, which the present conditions only emphasizes, and I hope that you will continue to sound the call louder, until it is answered by strong action. The American Federation of Labor has shown in many ways that it does not want the support of our people, and where the conditions have forced them to admit the Negro to membership, it has only been done for the purpose of tieing his hands and using him as a tool. I was for many a member of the American Brotherhood of Carpenters of America, and for a while worked hard to get the members of my race to join it, but eight or nine years ago I realized that, if the Negro is to keep pace with other people in the field of labor he must perfect an organization of his own for his own protection. It has been a custom of the whites of the South for many years to perfect local unions of Negroes when they were about to make a demand for better labor conditions, and as soon as the TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE SUMMER SCHOOL FOR TEACHERS EIGHTH ANNUAL SESSION JUNE 11TH THRU JULY 20, 1917 EXTENSIVE COURSES SPLENDID FACULTY they would be another blather than on how to quickly as if the never took the same oath with him. That the National organization sanctified these conditions and actions was pressed very forcibly on me seven years ago when the white union members' struck on members of the union which I belonged. I took the matter up with the general headquarters of the American Carpenters and Joiners of America and asked them to enforce a law, which says that 'where there are two or more local unions in a community they shall organize a district council, which council shall decide all matters that affect the local unions in the vicinity. The general officers refused to enforce the law in the community because of the racial feeling that existed, and the white members were allowed to continue to strike on their brothers in black. The north has never admitted the Negro to membership, unless it was sure he could be tied, and those are few. I saw the most flagrant case of tieing the Negro in Wilmington, Del. There is a very good Negro carpenter in that city, whose father was a good carpenter and an old resident and stood well in the community. The younger man added aggression to his abilities as a workman, and secured a great deal of work around there. On seeing that this Negro was gettingJob of work because of his ability to do cheaper than the union would allow, the union solicited his membership so they could regulate his prices. But in order not to admit any other Negroes, they gave him a permit to work members of his race without their having to join the union. This was to tie the hands of every Negro carpenter that strikes that town and prevent this individual from getting the work they want. There is no questioning the fact that the present labor conditions that prevail all over the country will mean great things for the Negro. But I said before I went north last fall, that unless the migration was regulated it would act as a boomerage, and instead of opening it would close more securely the door of opportunity against the Negro. I saw my fears borne out during my experiences up there. I found that in a few cases the men have made good and their employers, as in the custom, branded all Negro labor as a failure. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which carried more Negro than any other concern out of the south, were complaining at the unreliability of the men in their employ. Our official at Altoona, Pa., told me that he would much prefer working the Mexicans. When I asked what the trouble was, he said that he could not rely on the Negroes; they would work a few days, or until they save a few dollars, then leave without notice. I told the gentleman that I thought he was expecting more of the New than he would expect of white men under the same conditions; that if fault they were finding should blamed more to their method of selection than on the race from which selection was made. They sent him to the south and had them spread news promiscuously that they had in transportation for as many men wanted to go north, where there plenty of work of all kinds awaits them. The notices gave only a day two for those who wished to take advantage of it to prepare to accept. The method gathered most of the shifter unreliable class, which was not a sample of Negro labor. The relaition in the Negro race, as in all other races, are those who make good wherever they may be, and are not able to pull up and catch a train to leave home for an indefinite period on such short notice. Then, in many cases, these men did not find the conditions just as they had been represented to them, and they left one job as soon as they could get money enough to do so, trying to find the place and conditions that suited them best. If the Pennsylvania Railroad Company had selected their mentor, better, if the Negroes had been organized so they could have selected the men that went first—the conditions would have been assured. While in Trenton, N. J., in February, I saw a great need for a labor leader for the Negroes. The Polacos that worked in a factory struck. They said through the papers that they were striking for more money, but next day saw the manager looking for Negroes to fill their places. He said the stunt was caused because he had placed a for Negroes in the factory. I told the manager that if the Polacks really struck to account of the Negroes he had in the factory. I would do all that I could help him fill their places with good Negroes. But if the Polacks struck for more money, as they had told the public, Negroes could not afford to fill their places, because it was already said that they coming north would injure the labor conditions. The Negroes should have had an organization to make a thorough investigation and decide what is the best thing to do in such cases. There are many cases where it would be easy for the Negro to get employment if he were so organized that he could supply a firm or individual with all the help needed when the white men refuse to work with them. I applied for work in several places in the north where the bosses needed my services badly, but were afraid to put me to work for fear all the other men would quit, and I was not able to supply the places with good Negro workmen. I wish I could tell you all about some of the experiences I have had with the white labor organizations and the need I see every day for such a leader as you are calling for. I do not believe you would get tired calling until you were answered and relief given. W. A. ARMWOOD Tampa, Fla. WASHINGTON, D. C—This city has been alive with "things doing" the past week—things of National interest that grip the attention and hold it as in a wise. The war developments have been many and many different, affecting the colored people in a way will long be felt for good. The War Department has definitely decided that we shall have our part in the war, and that we shall have properly drilled officers of our own for them.

Bently & John Stinson, pru- berke Freeman, Apr. 31st A MEMORIAL DAY DRAMA ON Decoration Day, a drama was enacted in New York on Riverside Drive which was replete with human interest, furnishing more food for serious reflection than any play on Broadway. The introduction of tawdry theatrical effects was not necessary, for the pictures unconsciously drawn were the personification of realism, so much so that they played upon the heart strings of every true American conversant with America's history and occasioned many a pang of remorse. I refer to the march of the five hundred Grand Army men in the Memorial Day parade, which was so succinctly told by the New York Sun in its news columns the following day in this one paragraph. There were tottering Zouaves in the faded fezzes beloved of the crowd. One Grand Army Post went by numbering just two men. In an old victoria, drawn by bony horses, were the stooped figures of four old colored fighting men, their dusky scalps showing only fringes of white woolly locks as they doffed their soldier caps while passing under the arch of trees in front of the reviewing stand. To these four old men the Governor of the State doffed his high hat in turn and there was no hint of the usually mechanical return of salute as he bowed to them again and again. And out of all the millions in the world's biggest city, the men of the Grand Army who were left yesterday to march up the drive numbered only five hundred. The respect shown the four old Negro veterans of the Civil War must have warmed the cockles of their hearts and caused their old chests to expand several inches with pride. For no one is more appreciative of a bit of kindly attention than the Negro, so in the habit is he of meeting with rebuffs rather than friendly advances. As I watched the old soldiers—white and black—march up Riverside Drive I wondered if these grizzled warriors, who fought to keep the Union intact and for the liberation of slaves, ever found good and sufficient cause to ask the question: "What was the Civil War all about?" Over fifty years have passed since these Grand Army men put up gun and knapsack for good and were greeted as victors in the desperate conflict between North and South. But long ago the South made it apparent that while it surrendered to the Army of the Blue it did not surrender many of the principles for which it fought. While the South was defeated it never was conquered. To-day one may find sections of the Southland where the stars and stripes never have been flung to the breeze; and the hatred of the average Southerner for "the Yankee," as the Northerner is termed, is well known. In the halls of Congress southern statesmen usually put section above country, as for instance, opposition first given to the Universal Training Bill, due to fear of the Negro coming into his own. If the four old colored men who fought in the Civil War and helped to perpetuate the Union were to go to Washington, D. C., the capital of the United States, this is what they would find fifty years later; That it would be impossible to get a bite to eat in the Senate restaurant because of their color, although any illiterate foreigner, no matter how untidy, is accommodated. That not a first class hotel would permit them to rest their old, weary limbs, no matter how neat and clean these loyal Americans might be. That not a theatre in the District of Columbia would permit them to sit other than in the gallery, and that the majority would not admit them anywhere. That on the street corners the foreign-born bootblacks would refuse to shine their shoes, giving the excuse that they did not wait on Negroes. That if walking in the downtown district and becoming thirsty not a drug store would serve them with ice cream or a soda. That the United States Govern- ment; catering to radical anti-Negro sentiment, which is gradually getting worse as the horde of hungry office seekers come from Dixie, has sanctioned the un-American practice of segregating the employees of the Government, and has put its stamp of approval on many other forms of segregation distasteful and humiliating to self-respecting colored Americans. That if desiring to leave Washington and go South they would find it impossible to secure Pullman accommodations, despite their advanced age and the valuable service they have rendered the Government, the railroads, like many Government officials, preferring to cater to the vicious doctrines of those who tried to disrupt the Union than those who fought to help make the United States what it is to-day. Space will not permit further recital of the many indignities to which these heroes of the Civil War would be subjected in the capital of the United States, the capital of what is often referred to as "the world's greatest democracy," where race prejudice is rampant and former enemies of the flag are now hailed as heroes. In looking about them and observing that many of the principles for which they chanced their life have been cast aside and trampled on, and that many of the things which they fought against have taken root and spread to the North, East, and West, these five hundred veterans who marched on Memorial Day have some reason to think they fought for a lost cause. But this is not true. Many of the evils existing to-day so detrimental to the realization of our real democracy are only temporary. Right always prevails in the end. And while the members of the Grand Army of the Republic may not live to see it, and for that matter, while millions of younger citizens may not live to see it, the day is surely coming when there will be one United States in fact, and all will be classed as Americans first as to whether we are white or "of African descent" will not be so vital a question DEATHS IN MAY During the month of May the Grim Reaper carried away many who were well known to the colored theatrical profession, notably Hen Wise, Frank Mallory, Ora Criswell, Sarah Green Byrd and Will H. Dixon. None had ever gained a place in stardom; but all had gained reputations far above the level of mediocrity. Hen Wise, who died in Honolulu, was a member of the team of Wise and Milton, and for the past seven years had played in vaudeville in Honolulu, Australia, China and the Philippines. A letter is on file in The Age office which was written by Mr. Wise a few years ago in Pekin, China, in which he stated he was in a country where there was no color prejudice." Hen Wise first attracted, attention as a character man in stock company produced by the original Cole and Johnson. He was also a song-writer. He is survived by his widow, who was his theatrical partner. Frank Mallory was a member of the well known Mallory Brothers, who were identified with Williams and Walker in their first musical comedy successes, the Mallory Brothers having staged the productions. The Mallory Brothers first appeared in variety as song and dance artists, later forming a musical act which was far above the average. Some years ago they settled in Jacksonville, Ill., where Frank Mallory died last month. He is survived by relatives. Ora Criswell, who died at the Mercy Hospital, Baltimore, May 29, was easily the stage's leading edored comedienne. She had a most engaging personality and possessed the ability to put over a monologue or a song with great effect. She always appeared in a strong single turn, usually scoring a bigger hit alone than when working with others. At the Lafayette Theatre a few seasons ago, when yaudeville was being presented, and the bills were changed twice weekly. Miss Criswell made a record by playing three consecutive weeks, which was quite a tribute to her ability. For more than a year Miss Criswell has been falling in health. Sarah Green Byrd, who died May at the home of her mother, Mrs. Albert Green, Pern, Ind, was well known to theatregoers, having appeared as a soloist in many of the colored shows. Her first work was with the Black Patti Company, where she understudied Mme. Sissierette Jones. During the seasons in 1905-6 and 1900-7 she was a member of the Ernest Hogan Company, and had one of the principal singing roles. In 1907 she went to Europe with an act in which Alice Mackay and Georgia Mickey were members, later returning to New York with her husband. Anthony Byrd and working in vaudeville and musical comedy. She made quite a success with J. Leubrie Hill's Dark-town Follies. In 1915 she went to Pern to attend the funeral of her husband and never returned, East. She The Late WILL H. DIXON was born in North Carolina in 1880. Sarah Green Byrd was known for her even disposition. She is survived by her husband and mother. Will H. Dixon, composer, wrote a number of pretty musical numbers during his lifetime, and was chock full of ambition. His chief aim in recent years was to secure the production of an opera to which he had written both the libretto and score. His first theatrical engagement was with Phil Miller's Hotest Coon in Dixie Company, the aspiring young composer leaving Chicago to make his mark in the theatrical world. He came East some thirteen years ago and later went abroad with Abbie Mitchell's Memphis students. Upon returning to America he became an entertainer, and for years played the piano, and sang at the private concerts he performed. Two years ago he became afflicted with mental trouble and some months, ago was taken to the home of his mother in Chicago, where he passed away last month. Will H. Dixon was gentlemanly in conduct and he possessed many qualities that stamped him as a man with a good heart and kindly intentions toward all.

HAYES 16 COMING On Friday evening, July 13, at "A Midsummer Night's Dream," at Manhattan Casino, 1551th street and Eighth avenue, Roland W. Hayes, the race's greatest tenor, will make his appearance before New York's music-lovers. When Caruso sings at the Metropolitan Opera House, standing room is at a premium and when McCormack sings at the Hippodrome five and six thousand, people pack that huge amusement house. So if the white, people support their great artists it is, expected that Negroes turn out in large numbers to hear Roland Hayes. DEACON JOHNSON AND CLEF CLUB (By D. E. Tobias) "Deacon" Johnson is the president and manager of the Clet Club of New York City. The word "clef" according to Venerd's dictionary indicates a figure at the top of each staff in music to indicate the pitch of all the notes on one particular line or space. James Reese Europe, the father and founder of the Clet Club, conceived the idea in 1910 of organizing, or, rather, bringing together a large number of colored men who could nor read notes but could play on the piano and play 9 strong musical instruments. After a few short rehearsals James Reese Europe gave a great big public entertainment at which the colored men who could read music per orned. That entertainment was a sensation and The Chel Ciel was born! Just why James Reese Europe should have chosen the word "per" for the name of a musical association of colored men who could not read notes never been explained. However, the idea was a great one and has been profitable to many colored men who follow the profession of musical entertainers for their livelihood. The name of The Chel Ciel has become popular among rich and prosperous people who are Greek philosophers, who in his day, was called "Divine," defines music thus: "The harmony heard by the gods alone, which is produced by the movements of the celestial spheres." The purpose of this article is to call public attention to "Deacon" Johnson, a man, of much common sense, great energy and keen business ability, "Deacon" Johnson is in many ways a very extraordinary man. He is a man of pleasing manner and quick conception of facts: "Deacon" Johnson may correctly be called a man with a vision. He possesses practical business ability which enables him to see ahead and to accomplish the things upon which he sets his hopes with the determination to achieve. With the passing of Ernest Hogan, George W. Walker and "Bob" Cole, only a few short years ago, and not much has been heard of colored performers on the public stage. But as a private musical entertainer in many of the exclusive homes of the country where wealth calls for entertaining that is highly pleasing, "Deacon" Johnson is the moving genius and a shining light. When I first met "Deacon" Johnson in 1904 he was an entertainer in a rathskeller conducted by local colored men, colored people in New York City enjoyed more freedom than they nowadays. Then, in section of New York City thickly populated with colored people, colored men were engaged in the care and rathskeller business. A program of ragtime singing and dancing, peculiar to colored people, was rendered evenings. Many white people frequented public cafes and rathskellers conducted by colored men to hear the colored singers and see colored entertainers dance. "Deacon" Johnson was a favorite because of his pleasing ways. He was an entertainer of the first order along his special line. The thing that caused everybody to like "Deacon" Johnson was his ability and readiness to please all. Many rich white people visited colored places of light amusement often after leaving the Metropolitan Grand Opera House on Broadway. When they entered the colored man's place where "Deacon" Johnson was entertaining, they would call for the "Deacon." He was a favorite. But this is much to the "Deacon" credit. If he was entertaining a party of colored people or white people who did not possess millions, the "Deacon" never sighted them and go to entertain the high and nightly rich! "Deacon" Johnson always gave as good an entertainment for nothing as if he expected money from those he entertained. "The Deacon" had an object, and that was to improve his talent and create a demand for his services. "Deacon" Johnson worked as hard for his colored employer as he would for a white employer. "The Deacon has been president and manager of The Chel Club for three years. He has, at that time, brought the club from *n*-state of insolvency and cess. I have made a careful examinat- started it on the road to permanent suction of the booke containing accounts of the business and find that between $10,000 and $12,000 was paid to musicians in 1916 by The Chel Club for jobs booked by the club. "Deacon" Johnson's great ambition is to build a home at the cost of $100,000 for The Chel Club and there is little doubt but that he will achieve the object of his desires and realize his hopes. "Deacon" Johnson needs the help and hearty co-operation of all the members. With that The Chel Club will live. LAFAYETTE THEATRE Elinor Glynn's famous play that startled two contents, "Three Weeks," considered one of the most sensational and fascinating love dramas ever written, will be seen at the Lafayette theatre next week. "Three 'Weeks'" tells the ROLANDW.HAYES NOTE:—There is always a question in the white race as to who is the world's greatest tenor whether it is Enrico Caruso, the Italian, or John McCormack, the Irishman: but there certainly is not any question as to who is the world's greatest Negro tenor.

Read article in other part of paper. story of the unhappy Queen of Sardalis, her love and the many sacrifices she makes for that love. The opening scene of the play depicts a riot in Sardalis caused by the cruelty of the demeaned King and his over-taxation of the people's land. The Queen is loved by all and when the cruelty threaten to kill the King, she saves his life by promising them that all will be well, and she will force the King to revoke the land tax. She keeps her sword, but the King insults her and drives her from the kingdom, telling her that the faunt is her, and that there will never be peace, until the arrival of a Crown Prince. In the next scene we learn how she needs Paul Verdaney and falls desperately in love with him. Then follows the romance of three weeks, which is interrupted by the arrival of Paul's guardian. During the last two acts, which show the parting of the lovers, the Queen's return to the palace, the fury of the King and Paul's return to his lady love, there are many tense situations and thrilling and tender scenes. BURLEIGH AND JOHNSON HONORED BY ATLANTA ALEXANDRA GA.-The homary degree of Master of Arts was conferred upon I. Reamond Johnson, director of the Music School Settlement for Colored People in New York City, and Henry T. Burleigh, harbite soloist of St. George's Episcopal Church, New York City.

In presenting Mr. Burleigh, he described him as "a composer and interpreter of music, a broad-minded, genial man, welcome in the homes of wealth and in the humblest cottages, attacking the fastnesses of prejudice by the witsome power of song and good will."

Miller Talks to Graduates The principal address to the graduates was made by Prof Kelly Miller, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Howard University, Washington, D. C., who said in part, "Your education should lead you to adjust yourselves to difficulties and triumph over them. This was the message he held. Howell Washington attributed to the world. Race adjustment is an essential part of the education of every colored American. All the races, nations and people of the earth are being brought in elbow touch with each other and must learn to work together in harmony and cordial good will. "You must be efficient. The world does, and in fact, ought to demand efficient service to meet its needs. Efficiency will be the main tasks of life as to the more preventious undertakings." "All true education must ultimate in patriotism, especially in such a time as this. In the midst of war, the skill of the artisan, the genius of the inventor, the tongue of the orator, the pen and the prayer of the priest are all put in the patriotic place. The patriotic always, been patriotic and will never remain true to the highest aims: ideals and aspirations of the American people." "The northern migration of Negroes is commanding considerable measure of public attention." People move from one place to another in quest of economic advantages. As long as wages are higher in one region than in another, there will be an inflow of labor folk, just as gas moves from a region of greater to lesser pressure. This migration is bird-like in its character, bird-like in that the processional takes place in the sun. Like the recession in California, it will be the Neuro is running to and fro, seeking for a place in the sun, but I am firmly convinced that his final place in the sun will be in the Sunny South; "The Saviour said, 'I am come that they might have life; that they might have it more abundantly.' Let this be your motto. You came to this institution in order that you might get life and get it more abundantly. As you go out, let your motto be to give life to others. You should be abundantly. Follow the life-teaching of the great founder of Tuskegee and devote yourselves, and all of your energies to the uplift and reclamation of your race. Rejoice, that you live in a time of swift transformation. There will be doubtless greater changes in the social fabric of the world within the next two or three years than ordinarily takes place during a half century of peace. You must adjust yourself to these changes and contribute your share to promoting the welfare of the world. Whether you be called to do small things or great things, makes little difference. The essential thing is that you inject energy, skill, intelligence, initiative and enterprise into whatever task may fall to your lot. If you do this, you shall ment the patrimony bequeathed to you by the founder of this great institution." There were thousands, of persons present on the last day, the gathering type of this season, a form of the harvest and West Point brought hundreds of people from these towns and interment stations. In spite of war conditions, the bad crops and floods of last year and the migration to the North, the colored people of the South have tried to keep their children in school. This is amply supported by the forerunner of the Tuskegee Institute, who for the year ending, reached a total of 1,595-950 boys and 645 girls. If to these figures be added the 238 children enrolled at the Children's House during the year, the attendance at the Farmer Short Course the past winter and the 413 children attended the School in 1916, during the term 1916-17. Tuskegee has had some part in the training of 2,524 people of the South HAMPTON COMMENCEMENT Hawkesport, Va.-Hampon Institute has just sent tenth mourn-four vocational-trained graduates to carry the message of "education for service" to Negro, Indian and white people throughout the nation. Principal H. B. Frissell, in presenting the diplomas and certificates, said. Dr Erissell referred to the school's recent memorial service at the grave of General Armstrong, where all had conquered themselves anew to the service. "You have caught the vision of the kingdom which is to come—the better world which Christ has made possible through you; and now, today, you go forth to hear the great message—the great message you have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. You have seen great nations turning from the selfish rule of autocracy to the blessed and better rule of democracy, and you, too, are going to realize democracy means. You are going forth to serve this great country. How Democracy Shall Live. Democracy Shall Live. Islamic University, Nashville, Tenn. His address on 'The re-birth of the world after the war, said: "When this cruel war is over, the task before mankind will be to rebuild the world. I rebuild its wasted cities and to repair so far as possible the stagnant struggle has entailed. This will not, however, be of major importance by the side of the real task. The reconstruction to which this world war points with imperative hand is the rebuilding of the hearts and spirits of men of the world, the new work which it must do after the war, the new teachings of home and school and church and press must be, not domination, not power, not force, not arrogance, not racial proscriptions, but the virtue and conquering valu of the humankind, not the illness which love for all, and the meekness which shall inherit the earth. "If democracy is to live, if democracy is to have re-birth, if democracy is to spread throughout the world, it democracy is to touch every race, it will not be easy, it will not be possible for democracy, as President Wilson asks we must rebuild the hearts of men so that it shall be easy and possible for democracy to live. "That is a task for transcending the power of bullets more powerful than engine war, and all people will understand that democracy is a matter of the heart, it may be that this cruel, bitter war will not have been fought in vain. "If democracy is going to be easy, if men are going to understand each other, if men are going to feel closer and closer, if men are going to not through the engines of war not through battleships. It is coming through the meek and lowly heart." The student speakers included Edward H. Robinson, Glasgow, Ky. History; John H. Hill, Yazoo City, Miss; Poem; John H. Cotter, Houlton, Ky.

J.—Beginning at 10 a.m., with industrial demonstrations in the shops, on the farm and in the girl's departments, the closing day of the Bordentown Industrial School for Colored Youth was marked with a large degree of success for the year's work. Coming from many cities and communities, some in delegations, about two hundred students, weather and showed their manifestation of interest in the school. The commencement exercises proper were strictly or a patriotic nature. On account of the frequent showers the military drill of the young men and the catasthetic drills of the young women which were to have been held on the beach, the drill was not given. The effect was none the less pleasing for the execution of the commands given by Capt Taylor, Commandant. The physical culture classes of the young women tutored by Miss Brenda Morycke in dublin was a well conducted by Mrs. W. K. M. Cusat conducted in a club drill conducted by Mrs. W. K.

Dulley, who is completing his 21st year as president, took occasion to mention the importance of his institution and its growth. He spoke of the loyalty of our Negro, fathers to this country, which stands out as a precedent in the history of the world. No where in the world has any race of people under similar conditions shown such loyalty to its country as has the Negro race, and this rich heritage which is ours during this time when the country is in one of the crises of its history, must not be reflected upon by him "that any of you should at this time air our racial troubles and grievances against the government."

Hershaw, of Washington D. C., delivering the annual address at the twenty-sixth commencement of Edward Waters College, at this place, declared that but for the much maligned reconstruction of schools, there was no system over a large portion of this country and that a larger portion of its black population would have had no schools and no higher institutions of learning.
