The Governor of Mississippi reports the State's total registration at 139,525, divided as follows: Colored, 74,579; white, 64,334. In the rural districts, especially in the Delta, the colored far outnumbered the whites. Even in cities like Jackson and Columbus more Negroes registered than white men. At Mound Bayou the registration was 240. Charles Banks says more would have registered, but the supply of blank ran out. Few claimed exemption. Reports from Savannah, Ga., show that of the 9,081 registering for military service in Savannah and Chatham Counties, 4,979 Negroes registered against 3,665 whites, exclusive of the number of aliens registering. The Governor of Alabama reports that the State's total registration was 179,826, divided as follows: White, 108,610; colored, 69,956. It is estimated that 60 per cent of the registering at Birmingham was by colored men. According to the Birmingham Age-Herald, only 40 per cent was expected from Negroes. Drilled Birmingham. Brown, quite number of colored men served as registration clerks in Birmingham Louis Goodman, THE ACE representative, was the first to register. According to the Birmingham Ledger, sixteen colored citizens registered to one white in the Red Mountain district. Registered With Enthusiasm in North Carolina. In North Carolina the Negro registration was large, as may be gleaned from the following, figures from what we know, as "black belt" counties: Anson, whites 1,030; colored 1,056; Berties, whites 776, colored 942; Chowam, whites 420, colored 474; Gates, whites 434, colored 349; Hoke, whites 332, colored 429; Hertford, whites 469, colored 728; Halifax, whites 1,510, colored, 2,012; Franklin whites 997, colored 1,043; Nash, whites 2,069, colored 1,628; New Haven, whites 210, colored 222; North Hampton, whites 742, colored 1,092; Pitt, whites 742, colored 836; Scotland, whites 603, colored 835; Warren, whites 597, colored 1,060; Washington, whites 438, colored 538; Wayne, whites 1,894, colored 1,640. At Raleigh, the Young Colored American Club, headed by L. B. Capehart, Jr., formed a line and marched from Odd Fellows' Hall to the various precincts, registering in a body. In Forence County, South Carolina, there were 130 more Negroes registered than white people. The Governor of Virginia reports the State's total registration at 181,826, divided as follows: White, 20,509; colored, 58,563. In West Virginia the total registration was 127,409 divided as follows: White, 103,856; colored, 11,872. There were 22,655 men who registered in Maryland for the selective army dart. Baltimore showed up with 11,383 Negroes out of 59,000. The figures show that the colored registered in the State was more than one-sixth of all Negroes. Returns from Tennessee give a total registration of 487,524, with 142,646 white and 44,170 colored. Returns from Kentucky show that 11,150 colored men live in the State who are between the ages of 21 and 31 years. No "Slackera" in Louisiana. There were no "slackers" among the colored men in New Orleans and the State of Louisiana. On the contrary, those eligible to register rallied to the registration booths. They began getting in line before 7 o'clock in the morning and in many precincts outnumbered the whites. Compilation of the registration is not yet complete, owing to special registration made necessary by men on steamboats, ships and the like not being able to reach the city fo registration day. However, returns from all but three or four parishes which will change the proportion but little if any show that more Negroes are reported available for the draft than whites. In a number of the parishes the difference between the number of whites and colored that rallied to the standard and enrolled for the draft is very striking in favor of the colored men. For instance, the following returns: 250 619 412 990 464 380 .227 St. Charles .145 260 St. James .288 619 St. John .195 412 St. Mary's .472 990 Tensas .42 464 West Baton Rouge .109 380 West Feliciana .79 227 Totals .6,763 11,528 In the twenty-three parishes 4,765 more available colored men are enrolled than whites for the defense of the country. In one of the parishes in the above list a leading white man is reported to have made a speech in favor of the draft law and to have declared that this is a white man's country to be defended and soldiered by white men; that the Negro had no country and no rights that white men had to respect in this country and ought not to be called to arms under any circumstances. Many Negroes heard the speech which was applauded by the whites at the meeting and yet there was not a "slacker" among the colored men reported from this parish whose available colored men were more in number than the whites, as the list shows. Fewer colored men there claimed exemption than whites. CLEF CLUB CONCERT AND DANCE A BIG SUCCESS The fourteenth semi-annual concert and dance of the Clef Club was given at Manhattan Casino Friday evening and proved both a financial and artistic success. President "Deacon" Johnson and the members of this popular musical organization are in smiles, for Friday evening's affair was a record-breaker in more ways than one. An orchestra of fifty men, under the direction of Fred M. Bryan, sang and played as only the members of the Clef Club can, and the Right Quintet, James Lightfoot, manager, rendered several vocal selections. The quintet's rendition of the "Ragtime Rigolo'o" was worth the price of admission alone. The usual galaxy of stylishly dressed women was very much in evidence, and all boxes were taken. Friday evening's success has given the members new inspiration and they have started out with renewed efforts to buy a clubhouse. YOUNG UNDERGOING PHYSICAL EXAMINATION WASHINGTON, D. C.—Lieutenant Colonel Charles Young has been ordered to Presidio, Cal.; "for observation." In other words, Lieutenant Colonel Young has been sent to all the army posts to go into a thorough examination as to his physical fitness. Should he be declared "physically unfit," the War Department probably will give him a promotion and then retire him. In sending Lieutenant Colonel Young to Presidio "for observation," some process to see a move to retire the highest officer in the army because of his color. FRENCHMAN PRAISES BRAVERY OF THE NEGRO News of how Marcell Knech, a representative of France, in a recent address to local physicians at the Hotel Plaza, praised the bravery of colored soldiers fighting for France, has just become generally known. While talking on the European War, the speaker showed a number of stereoptical views, one in which colored and white soldiers were in the same regiment. At this point Mr. Knech proceeded to laud the bravery of the colored soldiers, stating that they had proved to be the most courageous and many had been awarded medals by Joffre. This information was received in silence. NEGROES ARE WANTED IN ARMY AVIATION (Served to Tux New York Amt.) (Special to THE NEW YORK AUS) WASHINGTON, D. C. - Negroes are to be used in the Army Aviation by the War Department. This fact was made known here in a telegram sent by the War Department to President W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce University, which read: "Minimum age limit for candidates for Army Aviation has been reduced to 19 years. Your assistance in getting this information into the hands of your best military students will be greatly appreciated. The air service needs athletes who are quick-witted, punctual and reliable. Intelligent men, accustomed to making quick decisions are desirable. Men who ride well and can sail motorboat or handle a motorcycle usually make good air pilots." PASS EXAMINATIONS BUT NO COMMISSIONS WASHINGTON, D. C.—Although thirty-seven non-commissioned officers out of fifty-two from the Tenth Cavalry recently passed examinations to become commissioned officers, not one has received a commission, is the report going to the here. This attitude on the part of the War Department would not be questioned if it was not generally known that white men who attended training schools such as conducted at Fort Huachuaca, Ariz., have been awarded commissions. When colored non-commissioned officers attended the training school at Fort Huachuaca several weeks ago they were under the impression that they were being schooled for reserve officers or temporary officers in the regular regiments. The thirty-seven who passed the examinations for commissions have been wondering why they were subjected to mental and physical tests, as the board which was at first ordered by the War Department to recommend successful candidates for temporary commissions in the regular army as second lieutenants have received telegraphic instructions not to recommend anyone. The experienced non-commissioned officers may of whom are said to possess more practical military knowledge than many white men with commissions, are now at Camp Fort Des Moines, Ia., where the colored camp has been established. It is presumed that the white men who have been commissioned will go to the many new regiments of regulars that have been ordered formed. But since no colored regiments have been designated the assumption is there will be no place for colored officers. "Will there be any new regiments of Negroes in the regular army?" or is it intended that the non-commissioned men who received instruction at Fort Huachuca, Ariz., are to wait for the formation of regiments of conscripts before receiving commissions?" are questions being asked by those eager to see the Negro receive proper consideration. Before going to Fort Huachnea for training colored non-commissioned officers were under the impression that they were to be made line officers, with temporary commissions, of the 18th and 19th cavalry, the regiments of Hewlett the War Department, is charged with studiously avoiding making mention of these proposed regiments, although all the other numbers have been ordered recruited. The sentiment among Negroes throughout the United States is that if the proposed regiments—18th and 19th cavalry, are made up of Negroes and non-commissioned officers from colored regiments in the regular army are not made line officers, but officered by white men who formerly non-commissioned officers the same as colored non-commissioned officers, without more experience, training or ability, the race will have received another "slap in the face." DE PRIEST ACQUITTED OF BRIBERY CHARGE (Special to The New York Age) CHICAGO, Ill.-Oscar De Priest, former Alderman from the Second Ward, was acquitted of the charge of graft in Judge Barrett's Court last Saturday. The verdict was rendered after the jury had been in deliberation seven hours. After the verdict of the jury Mr. De Priest gave out the following statement: "I expected acquittal. There could have been no other result." Two hours before the jury reached a verdict the attorneys for the defendant felt confident of victory when a question was sent out to the court asking whether Teenan Jones, chief witness for the State, had explicit testimony that the $2,800 which he had given De Priest was for the alderman's services in protecting gambling in the district. Oscar De Priest was the first to be tried as the result of State Attorney Hoyne's campaign against the alleged conspiracy between former Chief of Police Healey, other police and gamblers. HARRY W.

Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, delivered a stirring address before the National Conference of Charities and Corrections, which is holding its annual meeting at the Dixon Theatre. The importance of the Negro in the economic development of the South was revealed in Dr. Moton's comments on migration when he said: "Of the 150,000,000 acres of improved land in the South the Negro has cultivated fully 100,000,000 acres, and of the 13,000,000 bales of cotton produced annually in the South in normal times 8,000,000 of these bales were produced by Negro labor." Dr. Moton's appeal to the conference was for a better and more liberal attitude toward the colored people of the South. He said in line 3: "The South is seeing as perhaps never before since emancipation the very great economic value of the black man, and is willing and anxious to co-operate with every movement or organization looking toward the development of more efficiency on the part of the Negro. "I hope, therefore, that this conference, especially those members from the South, will use every opportunity to help our country by making this large and productive element of our population as useful economically and otherwise to their communities as possible, and the way to do it is by making the Negro happy and contented and the only way to make him contented is to treat him as an American citizen, bestowing upon him all the rights and privileges enjoyed by the other American citizens, no more and no less; and by giving him protection of life and property and the privilege to live. North and South amid decent surroundings; a chance to educate his children and a chance to thoroughly train his leaders. "This seems to me the patriotic duty of every American in influence and power. This seems to me would be wise and constructive program for this conference in so far as its activities among my people are concerned, to use every influence which may be summoned to give our race a fair chance. To give these millions of black people in the cabins of the South as well as the alleys of Northern cities, a chance to be educated, and the chance to live in a healthy and wholesome environment and when these people are trained it is our duty to see that they have a chance to work."

Lorillard Spencer has given out the following information and hints for new recruits and enlisted men of the Fifteenth: "The recruit should learn early in his military experience that the army is built on a system or responsibility. "The rank of private is the first step in the scale, next comes the corporal; then the sergeant. "When a private wishes to get information or make a request he should go to his corporal, who will in turn refer the matter to the last sergeant if he is unable to dispose of it himself. "The first sergeant, in turn, may take the request of the enlisted man to the company commander, or give permission to the man to make such request himself. "No man should even address an officer except in line of duty without first obtaining the permission of the PHYSICIANS TO MEET IN PHILADELPHIA DODSON IS RE-ELECTED HEAD OF SUNDAY SCHOOL (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) Boston, Mass.-At the twenty-fourth annual meeting of the New England Baptist Sunday School convention, held at the Ebenezer Baptist Church, Tuesday, N.

This permission extends only to the officers of the company. "No enlisted man is permitted to address a field or staff officer. His case must be presented by one of his company officers if higher action is needed. "Prompt and cheerful obedience of orders is a primary request of a soldier. Excuses do not go. "To be late is nearly as bad as to be absent. "Many members of the National Guard go without supper to get to drill on time. What is done in other regiments for the good record of a company can and will be done in ours. "The Federal Government pays one fourth of the regular Army pay to enlisted man of the National Guard when not on active duty, provided there are more than sixty per cent of the members of a company present at forty-eight full drill periods. "Any man who is absent or late pulls down this per centage. Therefore it is the personal concern of every man to have his comrades present with him on every drill night. "The shirker from drill steals money out of the pocket of those who do their full duty." COMMITTEE NAMED FOR FOURTH CELEBRATION COMMITTEE NAMED FOR FOURTH CELEBRATION Borough President Marcus M.

THE CASE OF HERBERT HARRIS After Being Told by School Teacher to Attend Meeting to Join 26th Battalion He Was Denied Membership Because of His Color—Discrimination Case Pushed by Father. The refusal to accept ten-year-old Herbert S. Harris, Jr., 526 W. 139th Street, as a member of the Twenty-Second Battalion of the United States Boy Scouts because of his color has been the subject of an interesting controversy in which L. W. Amerman, Executive Officer of the United States Boy Scout Organization, with offices at 7 Maiden Lane, has gone on record as favoring the formation of separate regiments among colored and white boys. Herbert Harris is a member of Public School No. 5, located at 140 St. Edgecomb avenue. On May 5 he was told by his teacher, Miss G. Levy, to HERBERT S. HARRIS, JR. be present Saturday, May 5, at 7 p. m., to join the Twenty-sixth Battalion of United States Boy Scouts, which is made up of the pupils from that school and in which many of his classmates were taking membership. Upon going to school at the hour mentioned young Harris was told by Mr. Goldstein, President of the Board of Governors, to wait until the arrival of the captain. A half hour later Mr. Goldstein approached the youth's father, who had accompanied him, and said to Mr. Harris: "You can get your boy in the colored battalion, organized under Major Wendell. Why not try here?" When asked by Mr. Harris why he referred to his battalion Mr. Goldstein applied: "Personally I have no objection. You write to Sidney Frank, secretary, at 137 W. 141st street, and say that you have a colored boy whom you would like to join the Twenty-sixth Battalion." He also remarked that he never knew of any colored boy to be affiliated with a battalion of white boys. Mr. Harris stated that he knew of colored boys who were affiliated with a battalion of white boys, but refused to give names when asked. The drawing of the color line against his son was referred to the National League on Urban Conditions, which turned the matter over to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to an inquiry as to why Herbert responds to an inquiry as to why Herbert was discriminated against the Advancement Society received a letter from L. W. Amerman, in which the following statement was made: The United States Boy Scout is a National Military Organization, following closely the lines of the United States Army. It has colored regiments and white regiments as the army has. There is no discrimination against the colored boy any more than there is against the white. We are anxious to have all the colored boys that can enlist in our colored regiment immediately in the neighborhood of the school in which you refer and covering practically the same district as the Twenty-sixth Battalion. If any of our colored boys will apply for such enlistment they will gladly be welcomed and entitled to all privileges of the United States Boy Scout Organization.

A Health Department official is given as authority for the statement that four carloads of vegetables were dumped on the Jersey Meadows by food speculators, because they feared that their presence in the market would reduce the price. A fish dealer was about to dump overboard two and a half tons of fish when the department interfered. Such willful waste of edible food in these times of the high cost of living should be punished as criminal, and the perpetrators of it made to repent in prison. A more encouraging note is the statement that 8,400 small farms are thriving in the city limits, under the care of amateur gardeners. Brooklyn leads with 4,700 garden plots. The total acreage planted is put at 1,150 acres, with probably several hundred plots not officially reported. The slogan "Back to the Soil" evidently struck a responsive chord in the average city dweller with a back yard at his command. WHEN THE BLIND SEE Trade with the average American means dollars. The Almighty Dollar is the strongest argument with which to appeal to the prevailing sentiment of America. But it has not yet been used to its fullest extent in the matter of eradicating racial prejudices. Mr Roger W. Babson, a. financial authority and noted statistician, has been for a considerable time investigating the causes that have prevented the United States from establishing fixed trade relations with the Southern Republics. The usual reasons of faulty business methods, careless packing, indifferent service, unreasonable and arbitrary treatment, of customers have been assigned and accepted as affording good ground of American failure in this direction. But Mr. Babson has evidently tired of the continued evasion of the main issue and has tried to open the eyes of the American business man to the real causes that lie at the bottom of his failure to grab the golden opportunity that has so long been enjoyed by the German trading interests. In the series of luminous articles that he has written for the New York Mail on this important subject, the crux of the situation was finally revealed. It is summed up in the following sentence: "Before Latin-America will ever take us seriously; we must revise our treatment of the colored race." This patent truth has been ap parent to any American who has ever visited the Latin-American countries, but most visitors have been wilfully blind to the facts, and those who recognized them had not the courage to publish them on their return. The statistical mind of Mr. Babson ignored these facts as long as possible, for they could not long have escaped his acute observation. He may not add to his popularity, but he certainly deserves the thanks of his countrymen for endeavoring to open their eyes to the stumbling block of their own creation. The American people are afflicted with a more or less wilful state of mental blindness in regard to the question of race and color prejudice. Many resolutely shut their eyes to the injustices born of colorphobia, while prating loudly about the blessings of liberty and democracy. These are the hyprocrites and modern type of the pharisees. Others, may be a smaller class in numbers, are carelessly ignorant of the disadvantages of proscription on account of race or color; when casually brought into contact with a member of the class in question and finding nothing abnormal in his make-up, are inclined to treat him the same as any other individual. They can hardly be made to realize the harsh realities that are born of the discrimination based on prejudice. The last class of Americans are those whose stock in trade is based on the breeding and maintenance of race prejudice. To this class the inculcation of color caste is the breath of life, the sole creed to which he is faithful. White supremacy is his law and gospel and Judge Lynch is the chief of his prophets. It is hard for the American born and bred in this school of race hatred to ever emancipate himself from its belittling influence. And yet it has been done. May, the blind be made to see and in seeing, mend the error of their ways. A NEEDED ELEMENT. A necessary factor in the material progress of any race or people is racial solidarity. By this is meant the community of interests and responsibilities, the binding together in gain or loss. This element is possessed in the highest degree by the Jews and has contributed largely to the material prosperity of that people. It is deficient in the make-up of the Negro, and this deficiency accounts largely for the numerous failures that have attended cooperative enterprises among us. For instance, the solidarity of the Jews causes them to deal almost exclusively among their own people in the matter of trade and patronage of professional men, except when greater profit is to be made by dealing with outsiders, and when only for some specific advantage. On the other hand, we find a Negro insurance company, organized for and deriving its sole profit from the issuing of insurance on colored risks, employing an attorney of another race to represent it in legal matters. What is needed is such a strong sense of race solidarity as, will make each member realize his duty as an individual in the upbuilding of the race by giving his support to the race enterprise that can minister to his daily needs. If the need is groceries and a Negro grocer is within calling distance, give him a chance to minister to that need; if law or medicine, let the qualified practitioner minister to that need. On the other hand, the men of the race who engage in personal service to their fellows must make that service deserving of support and render equal value to that furnished by outsiders. There may be difficulties encountered on both sides of this proposition, but with the main idea of race progress before us, some meas- VIEWS and REVIEWS TIMELY TOPICS. Secretary Lane, of the Department of the Interior, made some very sensible suggestions for commencement exercises of this year. He gave fourteen topics as themes for graduation orations and essays; all of them dealing with national and patriotic subjects. We call attention to the sixth topic which he submitted: The American Negro as a Soldier. Story of his contribution to the Army and Navy in earlier wars; his character as a soldier when well led (Crispus Attucks and the Boston Massacre; John Chavis and the revolution in North Carolina; services in the War of 1812, in the Civil War, in the war with Spain, where Negro troops saved Colonel Roosevelt. His work at Battery Wagner, at the Crater, at San Juan Hill. Williams's "History of the Negro Race in America" and other works.) The other thirteen topics were all timely, but we call particular attention to the one above because of its fitness not only for the graduates and students of Negro schools as a subject for study and discussion, but its importance as a course of reading for colored people in general. One of the most shameful things to which we must confess is the ignorance of even the intelligent class of colored people as to the history of the race. Of course, we all know in a general sort of way that Crispus Attucks was the first to lay down his life in the cause of American independence; that colored men fought in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812; that thousands of colored soldiers in the Civil War helped to break the chains of slavery; that the colored regulars did heroic things in the Spanish War; but we are sadly ignorant of many important men, facts and deeds. We are thus ignorant because we have read only the books that ignore these men, these facts, and these deeds. We would all have our eyes opened and our race pride stimulated if we would search out and read the books that give the race and its great men full credit for the things they have accomplished; and there are many such books. It is to be taken for granted that every intelligent Negro has read the lives of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington. I say it may be taken for granted, but there are the lives of a score of other men, the names of some of whom are scarcely known to the majority of colored people, that ought to be read. Besides, there are books dealing with the race as a whole which ought to be read. A list of these books may be found in the index of any well appointed library. And Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois has prepared a bibliography containing all the important books on this subject. Every colored American should know the full and true history of the race in this country; but the story cannot be gleaned from American histories used in the public school, nor from the larger works written by our greatest historians, not even from the excellent work from the pen of President Wilson: the specially written books must be sought out. Begin by reading the histories written by Negro authors, by Williams and Brawley and Johnson. It would be well to go farther back and read a little volume entitled "The Negro" by Du Bois, which goes into the history of the race in Africa, and shows as false the commonly accepted idea that from earliest times we have never been anything but savages. Some such work as this should be done in all our schools. For our present needs and purposes, it is more important for colored boys and girls to know what Crispus Attucks did on the Commons of Boston than to know what Wolfe did on the Plains of Abraham. It is more important for them to know what happened at the Battle of San Juan Hill than to know what happened at the Battle of Salamis. Any one of us who will take the time and pains to follow out the course of reading suggested above will awake to the realizations that there are many reasons why he should not be ashamed of being a Negro. We wish to say that Secretary Lane not only submitted topics that are timely, but in so creditably including the Negro's part in the history of our country, he performed an act that comes as a grateful surprise from a member of the present administration. "GOD'S LAW" IN MEMPHIS A Memphis City Club held a members tried to get a resolution by calling for his resignation. After hours duration, the resolution was sent of the largest dry goods company with the sentiment that can stake in the following words: "The ion is higher than most any law, and wolf man conflict, the law of man must God-given law that such friends should from taking up the argument then, and cut off his nose and his formed a dozen other nameless on their victim could ever have been say that we have observed very lilyphis or its vicinity, and expresses would not know a law of God in electric letters. How could he, self to possess? Last week in Memphis the City Club held a meeting at which several of the members tried to get a resolution adopted censuring Sheriff Tate and calling for his resignation. After a heated session of more than two hours duration, the resolution was defeated. George R. James, president of the largest dry goods company in the city, expressed his sympathy with the sentiment that caused Eli Person to be burned at the stake in the following words: "Public opinion is higher than most any law, and whenever the law of God and the law of man conflict, the law of man must take a back seat. I believe it is a God-given law that such friends should be punished with sadden death." We refrain from taking up the argument that the men who burned Eli Person, and cut off his nose and his ears, and cut out his heart, and performed a dozen other nameless outrages were more fliendish than their victim could ever have been. We quote Mr. James merely to say that we have observed very little of God's law anywhere in Memphis or its vicinity, and express the opinion that the said Mr. James would not know a law of God if he saw it blazed across the sky in electric letters. How could he, with such a heart as he shows himself to possess? SONGS FOR SOLDIERS Major General Bell has an idea that among other measures of preparedness steps ought to be taken beforehand to provide proper songs for our soldiers to sing in camp and on the battle front. He has so impressed this idea upon certain men and musicians in Washington that they have set about collecting and printing a book of songs for our men to take along with them. The intention is laubable enough, but the probabilities are that nature of racial solidarity should be achieved. If the preachers of the race would take hold of this important phase of race progress, and instill into their congregations the necessity of binding themselves together in material as well as spiritual links, the results would be of practical benefit to all concerned. The problem of right living is the pressing question, and every element leading to its solution calls for serious consideration by the preachers, who as a class come closer to the masses than any others. Reduced to its simplest form, our platform should be "YOU" for me and me for you. the work of these gentlemen will be wasted effort. When a war breaks out, nobody can tell what song or songs the soldiers are going to sing to cheer their spirits. They generally pick up something that nobody had in mind. When the British soldiers were going to the front in the present war they did not go singing "God Save the King" or "Rule Britannia," nor any of the labored compositions written for the occasion by English poets and musicians; they picked up an old music hall ditty, and went away singing gaily "It's a long way to Tipperary." When we jumped into the Spanish War, our boys did not turn to "America" or "Columbia the Gem of the Ocean" or "Star Spangled Banner," nor even such a grand marching tune as Julia Ward Howe's "Battle Hymn of the Republic"; they caught up the ragtime tune that was being played by the Negro regimental bands, and went away stepping to "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight." A contemporary suggests that the compilers of this book of songs include such hymns as "Onward, Christian Soldiers," "Lead Kindly Light" and "Nearer, My God, To Thee." These are all glorious hymns and are appropriate for their suggested use—"Nearer, My God, to Thee" seems especially appropriate in such a war as the present—but the chances are that they will not be used. This much, at least, is certain, printing them in a book to be distributed to the soldiers will not insure their use. The song that our soldiers will use may be already written or, perhaps, it is yet to be written, and you may wager that it is neither serious or especially patriotic. Just why American and English soldiers seem to prefer light songs instead of serious, patriotic ones is something of a puzzle. Frenchmen and Germans go to war singing noble and fervent music. It may be explained by the ingrained characteristic of Americans and Englishmen to hide their deepest emotions. It is not thought to be anything unmanly for a German or a Frenchman to weep in the presence of others; an American or Englishman would feel that he had done something to be ashamed of. So, perhaps, it is to help cover the deep emotions aroused by the thoughts of death in battle that Americans and Englishmen go to war singing their "Hot Time in the Old Town" and "Long Way to Tipperary." As for the war songs that poets and musicians write especially for the occasion, they are seldom ever heard or heard of. Great national songs like "The Marscillaise" and "The Star Spangled Banner" are not built to order, they spring white-hot from the seething forge of conflict. RUCKER ON MIGRATION. Col. H. A Rucker, formerly Collector of Internal Revenue at Atlanta, and one of Georgia's most distinguished Negro citizens, recently discussed the subject, "Migration and Its Causes," in the Atlanta Constitution, expressing his views as follows: I have been quietly investigating to find the cause of so much unrest just now manifest among my people; why so many of them have left the South and multitudes of others are making haste to get away. My inquiries has extended to many of those already gone as well as to those making ready to leave the South which they "so much prefer and reluctantly leave" to take up home among strangers. And these are the uniform reasons given: "Waggs only about half sufficient to care for the earner, to say nothing of his or her dependents." "Grudging provision in city and especially in country made for the education of their children." "Driven away from crops and homes and too often lynched or in other ways maltreated both in town and in country." "Always prejudged, and that guilty, by press and public opinion in automobile or other accidents where injury results to a white person, and whenever there is misunderstanding or friction with a, white person, the Negro is invariably at fault." "Taxed and yet segregated and legislated out of all the rights of free citizens." "Criticized and stigmatized almost invariably, with seldom a word of commendation." "Starvation wages, and in too many instances when employed as servants in the home, not only is a different food from that prepared for the employer's table served them, but an insufficiency of the coarse food allowed them. And to enjoy any of the table luxuries they are compelled to make purchases out of their meager wages." "I insulted, abused and unnecessarily harassed on public conveyances, and by too many in authority to entree law and order." A few years ago when the suffrage or disfranchisement act was before the legislature, I, with a committee of our citizens, appeared before the legislative committee to oppose the passage of the bill. I told the committee the bill was unnecessary, a piece of useless legislation, intended, as I saw, to impose additional humiliation upon an already overburdened people; that we were before them as much because of our interest in the States as for any other purpose. I knew my people desired to remain here and continue most friendly relations, but that many, on account of such legislation, as the bill then being considered, had left the State and gone North, East and West, and that if the bill became a law, some of those to whom I was speaking would live to see the day when there would be a regular exodus of my people from this State. Much of the trouble, as I see it, has been that the race question or problems have even settled or adjusted in boards, clubs, circles and associations without the presence, and ad of advice of the people so materially affected. The methods have been regrettably lacking in foresight and are now proving as ineffective as staging the play of Hamlet with the Dane omitted. The race is seeking better pay and human treatment. Encourage it and it members will not leave the South for any section of the known world.

(From Newport News Star.) The other day the pastor of the Carver Memorial Presbyterian church of Newport News, Va., returned to this city from Dallas, Tex., where he had gone as the delegate of the Southern Presbytery, of Virginia, attending the Presbyterian General Assembly and when he reached the borders of Virginia he was requested to change his seat to a filthy, dirty, unhealthy, smoking car, in which white men not only committed the most unpardonable nuisances, but in which they took special delight to insult and in other ways harass this man of God. Is it not a burning shame that white men in this day and generation are guilty of taking a man's money under contract to give him decent accommodations and then allow him to be subjected to such abominable treatment? And this in Virginia, where men would try to make people believe that civilization has reached that point at which all men are accorded fair and adequate treatment, accordingly as they merit it. JUSTICE FOR THE NEGRO (From Richmond Times-Dispatch). It is our hope that Richmond will not feel inclined to follow the example of Danville and "detain special trains, or any other trans, on which Negro laborers are being transported from this to some other State. By exactly what legal process this detention was justified, the dispatches do not make clear, but we doubt if it had any legal justification whatever. The Tunsis-Dispatch is opposed, and on more than one occasion has expressed its opposition to the wholesale labor recruiting campaign among Negroes which is now in progress throughout the South. These activities should be discouraged in every lawful way, for the sake of the Negroes who thus are lured to unfamiliar and uncongenial fields, as well as for the sake of the communities whose prosperity their exodus affects. The agents should be required to pay a high license tax and to give bond for the faithful performance of the contracts into which they enter. But the Negro who desires to leave Virginia, either alone or in company with other Negroes, should be permitted to leave His virtual arrest, for no other crime than a desire to change his residence, is an outrage, which he will resent and which every right-thinking white man will resent also. Employment agents who violate the law deserve punishment and ought to be punished, but there is no statute of Virginia which authorizes the arrest or detention, of those with whom such agents have done that. That such methods will not cure the Situation with which they are designed to deal goes without saying. They will make it worse. Good relations between the races are highly important to the prosperity of Virginia and the South. If we want the Negro to remain here—and we do, we must treat him with justice. Nothing is gained in the long run and much is lost by following any other course. (BY T. THOMAS FORTUNE) WASHINGTON, D. C.-One of the most remarkable weeks in the history of the Republic was the past week, in which the reunion of the Confederate Veterans was held here. Nothing like it was ever seen here before. Their coming was heralded by all "the pomp and circumstances of the advertising agents, and other accessories, to make it the feature in the public eye. The postal and all other of the government agencies were employed to advertise the coming of those who wore the gray and who, upward of 50 years ago, unconditionally surrendered to General U. S. Grant at Appomattox Court House. It was in presenting Grant's name in 1880 in the Cincinnati Republican convention that Senator Roscoe Conkling of New York delivered the following outburst: "If you ask from whence he came, our answer it shall be, answer it shall be, He comes from Appatattox and its famous apple tree." In many respects the meeting of the Confederate Veterans here, 50 years after, was a remarkable event. These veterans were not strong, athletic, inspirational men, who had rushed into the forefront of the battle at Chicamauga, New Market Heights, Petersburg, the battles of the Wilderness, and the last stand at Appatattox. They were old, worn and weary, showing that "tume had written wrinkles on their brow," such as Byron wrote—not upon the brow of old ocean. These veterans came to the National Capital the indulgent recipients of the Nation's bounty and good will. By the suffrage of the people in the last November elections all that there was good to have in the administration of the Nation's affairs was committed to their keeping. President Wilson is a child of Virginia, a preacher's son, and a sympathizer with all things Southern. In the National Congress the dominant sentiment is Southern, so that 50 years after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln the magic wand of power is placed in the hands of those who sought to destroy, instead of those who sought to preserve, the Union. What is the underlying philosophy of all this? That the Almighty God, in whose name this Republic was founded, and the Most High God, whose religion is professed, might just use the professions of faith the Nation's souls and measures the length and breadth of the Nation's existence. As a matter of record, with the Democratic party in supreme control of the government 50 years after, the test is whether the South accepts in good faith the fact of Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and the War Amendment to the Constitution. The record is an open book, which he who runs may read. In their legislative acts in the Congress, ill the domination of the governments of the South by law and public opinion, they have done all that men can do to effect an organization in the government of the people to reverse all that John Brown lost in death, or U. S. Grant won in life. It is a sad fact, but a true one, and sad to record. Never before in the history of the Republic has a more peculiar people met in the Federal Capital of the Nation than these same Confederates and their friends. There were a great many black men among them who had been servants of the Confederate commanders, but interest in the anthropological personnel of the aggregate 'personnel' was something worthy of the study and analysis of an expert. Talk about "high yellows" and "white tans," with here and there a sprinkling of pure white, and you have the situation. They differed not from an aggregation of Airo-Americans, except in the matter of blackness. They were high white and yellows. Where did they get it in speaking of this first meeting of Confederates in the National Capital of the Confederate reunion, Major Charles R. Douglas, a veteran, who fought in the war and has served for more than 50 years in the government service as a civilian, said: "As a Grand Army man I was glad to see the ex-Confederates brought to Washington for their annual encampment; not that I believe in their loyalty, or that they had forsaken their former alignment against the Union, as they have been so clannish, remaining in the South, and closing their eyes against all other sections in this march of progress. I believed that it would do them good in an educational way to see how the Union-loving people of this country could forget the past and extend the olive branch to those who wore the gray. I believe a great deal of good was accomplished by the reunion, especially in opening their eyes to the manner in which the colored people were treated in the Capital of the Nation, and to see that the whites were suffering no ill effects from such contact, which is so religiously denied them in the South; for this reason I am glad that the reunion was held here. I believe it has enlightened a great many of those who came here. Just before the reunion, when the Confederates accepted the invitation, they asked what privileges were allowed the colored people, and if their ladies would have to ride in the same cars with colored people. They came, and I have not heard on a single instance in which there was conflict between the races." Tella Negro to Stand By President. Tall Negro to Stand By President. BROOKHAVEN, Miss.-At the request of Mayor Heuck, Principal J. E. Johnson delivered a patriotic address here on Registration Day, Tuesday, June 5, to the largest audience of colored people ever assembled in this city. For the first time in the history of the city the race was given the Opera House, which is the largest auditorium here, and which was filled to overflowing. Prominent white people were present, including the mayor, editor of local paper and city attorney. Principal Johnson outlined in a very forcible manner how the colored people of the South can best play their part in standing behind the President. He paid a glowing tribute to the Negro soldier and gave the race due credit for the contribution it has made to the history of this country in tune of peace and war. y a ASG atiay. , ; - 7 Re AAO A wean et n PL ee em en Se Ree ere Gren Sat fouphatsitaln, Peat 9 coe a den, Miya Mey ‘ 7 SRI LAN EEE is uit cn a heen laser GER Beaten amevthodsy watson, se ar 5 RRR TC a at teae Na ea Sat ta dhe Sea Ba cacy Ea ee oe Fai: SEL UERRS RUE CEA eats RTM SUNS ORGANIC ATOLL act SN eS OS 9 OR RO A GSS a ea aR RO OR Cen RCT CLES Ee ESSE UAH ETNA SOA SU aT TEMES TG ed GE ae eure Er PERE OU RISTO outer ORNS TD a a ep ae ee Ea f° WASHINGTON ‘LETTER Tolliver, Hairy L.

Tel SOG Martene HE ARSNAL HOUSE Transign( or Pormaneht Guates THE NEW YORK AGE, "THE BAR SINISTER" (BY LESTER A. WALTON) AFTER seeing "The Bar Sinister," the latest photo play on the Negro problem, which is being shown at the Broadway Theatre, I have come to the conclusion that color prejudice in America is fundamentally psychological. Some years ago during a famous New York murder trial a celebrated lawyer, in his endeavor to prove that his client was beclouded in mind when he committed the rash deed, coined a new medical term - dementia Americana. There are many, many thousands in this country afflicted with dementia Americana, their hallucinations on the color question being such as to render them mentally abnormal. was not until her colored foster-mother, who lay dying, confessed that she was the daughter of Col. Stillier that she knew the truth. The revelation as to her origin was also made known at the same time to the white man who loved her. He had not thought her other than white until he had gone into her home and secured a glimpse of the foster-mother only a few minutes before. In "The Bar Sinister," Page Warren falls desperately in love with Belle Davis, but when circumstances point to the ideal of his dreams possessing a "taint" of Negro blood, his love suddenly turns to scorn and hatred, and he literally throws her aside, and is very rough and ungentlemanly about it. Then the girl's Negro foster-mother comes forward with the explanation and proof that Belle Davis is a full-fledged Caucasian, causing Page Warren's love and adoration for the maiden to quickly return. Once more he smothers her with kisses and holds her in his loving arms. Page Warren's love grew? frigid and torrid in turn—all within a few seconds. When he temporarily cast her aside, had she been untruthful? No! Had her sweetheart found that her character was not all that it should be? No! Had she been found guilty of unfaithfulness? No! When Warren Page became engaged and kept Belle Davis at a distance as though she was a victim of some dreaded contagious disease, he was prompted by a THOUGHT. His mind became deranged on the one subject—THE COLOR QUESTION! There had been no material change in the physical appearance of the girl. She was just as pretty as ever and her other personal charms which had made so favorable impression on Page Warren were just as much in evidence. Neither had her color changed; the THOUGHT that the girl he loved was one with Negro blood in her veins made him act like a mad man. In Negro circles we frequently hear of the dismissal of some colored girl who was discharged from a large department store or some establishment after having "passed for white" for months until someone was mean enough to disclose her racial identity. In such cases the drawing of the color line borders on absurdity. What harm was done by white and colored girls working together before it was learned that the colored girls were of mixed blood? The marrying into white families by Negroes of light complexion is perhaps the most striking illustration of the close relationship of color prejudice to the psychologic. Intermarriage, in many states, is prohibited by law, and there are white people, who shudder at the thought of bringing into their families persons of Negro blood. Yet we know of many, many instances in which Negroes posing as Caucasians are married and all is peace and quiet. The domestic disturbance would begin if their identity became known. Then the excitement, mental anquish, etc. The vagaries of color prejudice are very much like the ghosts and bobgoblins which terrorize children at night—they are merely pictures of the mind. In this country the abatement of the mental disease—dementia Americana—will take place when Americans cease holding abortive views on the color question, and form their likes and dislikes from the material instead of the imaginary. No objection is made to discriminations: against the untidy, the illiterate or the vicious, be they white or colored. But why, for instance, draw the line on a competent Negro workman solely because of color? There is much truth in the saying, "As a man thinketh so is he." But it does not follow that a man is always what others think him to be. Personal estimates of an individual usually vary, anyway. "The Bar Sinister," styled "an original story of the modern South," was written by Anthony P. Kelly and presents the Negro in a more favorable light than any of the big photo plays dealing with, the race problem. In the foreword patrons are told that the underlying theme of "The Bar Sinister" is the spiritual equality of mankind, regardless of race, creed or color: Then the following questions are asked: "Is a man or woman the better spiritually because he or she is white?" "Does the color of skin make any difference in the fibre of the soul?" "In the eyes of God are not all men equal?" "The Bar Sinister" telis of a beautiful white girl who has lived among Negroes the greater part of her life under the impression that she is colored. It ```markdown ``` was not until her colored foster-mother, who lay dying, confessed that she was the daughter of Col. Stilliter that she knew the truth. The revelation as to her origin was also made known at the same time to the white man who loved her. He had not thought her other than white until he had gone into her home and secured a glimpse of the foster-mother only a few minutes before. The producers seek to make the point clear that the argument unfolded by the picture is that the barrier of race is a social one and not spiritual; that the finest men in each will be found fighting side by side to combat the lowest. However, it falls short of portraying the most representative types of the Negro of today, the good old darky who "knows his place," being held up for emulation. By making this imperfect and incorrect comparison, which I presume give unconsciously done, the producers give some the impression that the relative status of the three races in this country is white man, first; red man, second; black man, third and last. With Ireland clamoring for recognition, Russia torn under because of social questions, and other countries in a chaotic state for the same reason, it is ridiculous to make the race issue purely a social question. In America we well know of the social prejudice existing among Gentiles against the Jews, and the various classes of white Gentiles show that there is a serious social question among the Gentiles themselves. We do not see all white people meeting on the same plane and there is more ill feeling between the Wall street broker and the man in overalls than between colored and white man. So with the social question creating such a division and so much bad feeling among white people, why take seriously the alleged social inequality of the Negro$^2$ A white writer in the South who frequently loses his mental equilibrium when thinking of the Negro in the future tense, causing him to handle the Negro question somewhat more crudely and at times more truthfully than some of his contemporaries, recently said: It must be remembered that "ALL social canes in this country are band primarily upon the dollar, and ALL social distinctions are measured in ratio with the proximate amount of wealth possessed, subsequently reinforced by learning and culture to insure perpetuation. A Negro whose means are sufficient to make the display as above described will be far above the average of his race, and naturally begin to "feel his outs" when in the presence of poor white men. So after this statement, why tarry on the social question? "The Bar Sinister" is an intensely gripping photo play from start to finish. Many of its scenes, the majority, crystalize kindly sentiment for the Negro. Of course, some of them are overdrawn, particularly those depicting the bravery of white men. The spectacle of one white man going into a saloon frequented by Negro riffians, picking a fight with a colored prize-fighter and engaging in a desperate encounter, and another of one white man scarring off a mob of angry colored men by discharging a firearm does not smack of realism. Dispatches from the South always tell of several hundred white men usually attacking a Negro Some of the characters in the picture were posed by Negroes, Jules Cowles as "Buck" Moc, ex-pugilist and ex-convict, being very good. W. J. Gross, as Uncle Jimmie, the barber, and Mack Wright, as the Rev. Daniel Webster Washington, are also included in the cast of characters. "The Bar Sinister" is as welcome as the flowers in May after such vicious photo plays as "The Birth of a Nation." It is stated in the foreword that "The Bar Sinister" does not pretend to solve problems, but is designed to make one think. From the serious and studied look on the faces of many white people after the performance, it must be accomplishing its mission. "THE SCAPEGOAT" IS FINDING A READY MARKET "The Scapegoat," the latest and best of Negro photoplays, which was released by the Douglass Film Company, Jersey City, N. J., only a few weeks ago, has been finding a ready market, and the managers of the film company predict that the picture will make a new record for popularity among Negro photoplays. After showing to capacity houses at the Franklin Theatre, New York, during its three-days' engagement, "The Scapegoat" was sent to the Howard Theatre, Washington, where its drawing powers were again convincingly demon- strated. The film is being booked 'by white and colored motion picture houses. In Jersey City, for instance, "The Scapegoat" will be shown at the Majestic Theatre, Grove and Montgomery streets, Monday, June 18, at 1 o'clock. Among the other future bookings are the Regent Theatre, Baltimore and houses in Philadelphia and Chicago. It is the boast of the directors of the Douglass Film Company that their concern is the only one engaged in the motion picture industry that is composed entirely of Negroes and financed by them. Dr. George E. Cannon, one of the race's most representative citizens of New Jersey, has played the leading part in a financial way. Dr. W. S. Smith, who made the adaptation of the picture from Paul Laurence Dunbar's story, is technical director and has supervised the making of all the company's recent photoplays. The members' of the cast in "The Scapegoat" are well known to the colored theatregoing public, among them being Maud Jones, Walker Thompson, Abbie Mitchell, Sydney Kirkpatrick, Leon Williams, Mabel Young, Lorraine Harris, Jack Thornton, Joseph Thornton and "Little Jeff." Motion picture houses conducted in the interest of colored people throughout the country should make it their business to book "The Scapegoat" for two reasons: First because it possesses undeniable merit; and secondly, because it is a racial business venture which ought to be encouraged by all managers who make their money off Negro patrons. SMARTER SET-AT THE LAFAYETE NEXT WEEK The "Smarter Set," formerly the "Smart Set," will be at the Lafayette Theatre, commencing next Monday afternoon. This organization, which is heralded as the best and strongest colored show on the road, is headed by Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, who are known from one end of the country to the other. There are thirty students in the company including Emma Wise, Carrie Kink, Emma Jackson, Estelle Cash, Billie Younge, Sweeetie Mac, Ora Dumpl, Al F. Watts, Jas. Gray, Alonzo Fenderson, Dave Liston, Mattie Lewis and a chorus that can sing and dance. The play this season is called "How Newton Prepared," written by Whitney and Tutt, and contains fifteen specially written musical numbers, including "A Study in Black and White," "The Wedding of the Flower and the Bee," "You Worries Me," "My Sweet Hawaiian Home," "You May \nCome Back Just Too Late," "Sweet Melodious Blues," "Little Boy, Little Girl," "Help Owl From Love," "I J. Could Only Make the Sun Stand Still," and "Stand by the President." There is a coherent story and a plot running through the play. The scenic artists and the costumers have obtained some beautiful results. GOOD BILLS AT LINCOLN THEATRE Mrs. M. C.

In a series of articles written upon relations between Latin-America and the United States, published in the New York Mail, by Roger W. Babson, the following incident is related: one of the Latin-American countries recently sent his son—whom we would call a mulatto—to the United States for a technical education. Upon his arrival at one of our ports, he went to the hotel which had been recommended to him. Instead of being welcomed, imagine his surprise at being refused admission and called a nigger. He finally decided to leave for another southern city. It was winter time and he dared not go north on account of the climate. But how was he treated by the railroad? He was forced in with a lot of dirty and smelly Negro laborers. He remonstrated and said he came from the United States, but the conductor only laughed and said, "A nigger's a nigger in this State." Finally this young man reached Baltimore, where he wished to secure some information about the courses at the Johns Hopkins University. Here he was received with more courtesy and, after an explanation, was given a room at a good hotel. But within a day or two he believed that he was treated peculiarly. Apparently the other guest in the hotel were complaining against him. Last was made so uncomfortable that he left for New York and returned to South America on the first boat he could get. Do you think this man takes any stock in our talk about "liberty and equality, or democracy and autocracy"? His father then sent him to Berlin. In Germany he was received at the best hotels; allowed to travel first-class on the best trails, and given every courtesy possible. Instead of being referred to "hacking," he was called a "distinguished Latin American," Latin his mother and sister came to him. They were received even more cordially. The entire family were very happy. Do you wonder that the father of this family favors Germans to Americans? Do you wonder that when legal cases which our people are involved come before, the attorney-general that he is prejudiced against him he and his friends justified in adultery. the people of the United States? Mind you, I am not criticising the South for their treatment of this man. Had his father been brought up in Mississippi, he would understand it all. But I do say that before Latin-America will ever take us seriously, we must revise our treatment of the colored race. Not only are our people prejudiced against color but many of them utterly fail to understand the psychology of the Latin-American natives. Brooklyn.
