"It behooves us to say that it is impossible that there should be a justification for mob violence, for brutality and murder in this democracy."—Theodore Roosevelt at the Carnegie Hall meeting Friday night to welcome the Russian high commission to the United States. Col. Theodore Roosevelt has been applauded by press and public for his bold utterance on justice and true democracy, made last Friday evening at Carnegie Hall on which occasion the Russian High Commission to the United States was welcomed to New York. White and colored Americans I the world. You have revived a living hope in the breasts of 12,000,000 industrious, loyal, peaceable, yet greatly distressed citizens, and aroused, we trust, a vigorous sentiment in the heart of all genuine Americans for a square deal. Unless the national Administration brings these murderers to justice your noble stand will make our government at Washington, which is preaching world democracy, a laughing stock in the eyes of Germany and Turkey. We are among the millions who are earnestly praying that a man like yourself may again occupy the White House. With highest esteem, we are yours for even-handed justice and equal opportunities. In commenting at length on the Col. Roosevelt's vigorous words at Carnegie Hall the New York Evening Mail says in part: "The words of denunciation and warning uttered by Col. Roosevelt, and defied by Samuel-Gompers last Friday night, are echoing through the country. They seem to have aroused the people to the serious peril to orderly government that lurks in the East St. Louis riots, particularly when no word of protest, or even of inquiry as to the facts, is heard from the authorities at Washington. What is in reality a massacre of women and children in an important community is not a matter wholly of local import; the entire nation is concerned in it. If the state cannot protect a community from riot and murder, it is the duty of the national government to do so. "The surprising and unpleasant fact is that not one word has come out of Washington, officially, that challenges the right, so brutally exercised there, to murder and pillage at will when the acts are perpetrated in the name of organized labor. It was left for a private citizen to voice the indignation of the country and to speak for the rule of law. "Both incidents mark advances in the spirit and purpose of leaders of the Compers type to make government subordinate to labor, and to regard law as an infringement on labor's rights. No more pernicious doctrine than this has been preached here since secession days. Its danger does not lie in the strength of its advocates so much as in the weakness of those who profess to be opposed to it. "The demands made in Washington are no less sinister and destructive in their ultimate purpose, because they happen to be made by word of mouth, than are the demands made with shotguns in East St. Louis. Both are subversive of government and of law. Both are aimed at established peace and order. Both are symbols of ill-will toward society as a whole. Both grow bolder more menacing, as they find less resistance from those in authority. "Grover Cleveland realized this fact while he was President. He knew that such aggressions had to be firmly met. By one act he made labor demagogues The New York Age IS CLEAN. ONCE IT BEGOMES A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY IT IS ALWAYS LOOKED FOR AND WELCOMED. :: :: VOL XXX No. 42 White and colored Americans who believe in real democracy, not one of mere words, have sent the Colonel letters and telegrams of congratulations, and the opinion is general that only "America's greatest patriot" could have attracted so much attention in condemning the East St. Louis, Ill., massacre. Several of the local colored churches were among the number to commend the ex-President on his manly stand. Some of the congratulatory telegrams follow: Col. Theodore Roogaevelt, Oc. Hts. N. X. The Mount Olivet Baptist Church, 169-161 West 53rd Street, New York City, at its Sunday morning service, by unanimous vote decided to send you a telegram of appreciation for your many interances at Carnegie Hall in reference to the terrible outrage perpetrated upon the colored people at East St. Louis. In these critical times, we thank God for one man who is clear-headed and courageous enough to see and point out the injustices practised here at home, while urging that an end be put to injustice and oppression abroad. This outbreak of barbarianism cannot go unpunished without making America unsafe for democracy The Mount Olivet Baptist Church. WILLIAM P. HAYES, Pastor. Hon Theodore Roosevelt. Ex-President of the United States, Oyster Bay, N. Y. Dear Sir:— We, the members of the Union Baptist Church, numbering 3,100, extend to you our hearty congratulations for the moral courage of your conviction in the defense of human justice, and condemning the murderers who took part in the East St. Louis massacring. May the blessings of God ever rest upon you, and that the American people will take your advice and begin house cleaning at home, so that the fight of democracy may be based upon a righteous foundation.

The 3,200 members of the Abyssinian Baptist Church by a unanimous and enthusiastic vote express to you their sincere and heartfelt gratitude and congratulations for your reply to the false, cowardly, un-American murder-inciting utterances of Samuel Gompera in Carnegie Hall Friday night. Your uncle and courageous words in defense of the murdered and maimed men, women, and children, who were in East St. Louis in pursuit of an honest living, are an added proof that you are the biggest and most fair-minded man in THE ABYSSINIAN BAPSTIST CHURCH.

Payton Closes Harlem Realty Deal Involving Million and a Half Dollars An epoch-making real estate deal involving more than a million and a half dollars has just been accomplished by Phillip A. Payton, who is justly regarded as the father of "Colored Harlem." Through it he acquires for refined Negro occupancy, six large, modern, high-class elevator apartment houses in Harlem; three in West 141st street between Lenox and Seventh avenues. Nos. 117 to 143, inclusive, with a total frontage of 375 feet, and three in West 142nd street, between Lenox and Seventh avenues. Nos. 130 to 148, inclusive, with a total frontage of 450 feet. No other realty undertaking, for colored people of any class has ever approached this in magnitude. These houses were built about four years ago and were recently owned by a Mexican syndicate of which the late Gen. Huerta, former Dictator of Mexico, was head better class Negro, whose position in affairs demands that he maintain a home in the best apartments procurable. In point of refined and business conduct the houses will compare favorably with New York's best apartment houses Suites in these houses will only be rented under lease and for periods of not These houses mark the last word in high-class apartment house construction, containing elevators and United States mail chute service, telephone, gas and electricity in all apartments, hardwood trim and parquet floors, the bath with showers and pedalestable lavatories, open nickel plated plumbing with porcelain fixtures, both in hath and kitchen, and ample closet room. French doors with Florentine glass in the dining rooms add greatly to the attractiveness of the apartments. Adequate radiation and ample boilers assure satisfactory steam service even in the coldest weather. Large courts and private halls make all rooms light and private. Hall service day and night offers protection against thieves and annoyance from peddlers, as no one unknown is permitted upstairs unannounced. Mr Payton feels that in acquiring these properties he had filled a long felt need for exclusive apartments for the FIREMAN WOODSON GETS BRAVERY MEDAL John Henry Woodson of Hook and Ladder Company No. 106, was awarded a medal by Mayor Mitchel JOHN HENRY WOODSON last Saturday for bravery, the Negro fireman having climbed to a flame-swept-window on the fourth floor of a Brooklyn tenement, September 22, 1916, and saving from certain death Mrs. Katherine Meterity and baby, Michael.

DUNBAR'S GRAVE NOW DAYTON, Ohio — The birthday of the late Paul Laurence Dunbar, June 27, was marked by the announcement of the reorganization of the commission which has in hand the establishment of a series of scholarships to bear his name. Vacancies have been filled and the following officers elected: Brand Whitlock, president; Dr. W. S. Scarborough, vice president; the Rev. Davis W. Clark, 31 West Cedar street, Boston, Mass., corresponding secretary; William R. Craven, vice president; Dayton Savings and Trust Company, treasurer. The commission bought a central lot in a Dayton cemetery and transferred Dunbar's remains to it, marking the grave with a natural bowler and bronze plate. The first scholarship has been assigned to Wilberforce, La Dunbar's native state. Paul Laurence Dunbar Murphy, the poet's nephew, whom he intended to educate, is to be the first incumbent. PHILIP A. PAYTON is to be christened "Toussaint Court," in honor of Toussaint L'Ouverture, the black librator of Haiti, whose abilities as soldier, statesman and patriot were so transcendent that Wendell Phillips in his famous lecture placed him above George Washington, Napoleon and Cromwell.

The departure of the Fifteenth, for Camp Whitman is the result of President Wilson's "Call into United States service." Draft into the United States service will take place on August 5, on which date all the New York regiments and the National Guard of other States will be mustered in. What is regarded as a coincidence by Colonel Hayward is that the Fifteenth Regiment and his old Nebraska regiment, of which he was colonel, will be drafted on first call.

While the daily press is disagreeing as to the direct cause of the East St. Louis massacre, the remains of innocent victims are being found in charred masses of debris by searching parties. While some are making a desperate as well as ineffectual attempt to palliate the work of the mob by trying to show that Negro workmen incurred the displeasure of white labor by filling the places of aliens who had returned to Europe, colored women and children are going about homeless and helpless by the score. Some have lost nearest and dearest relatives as the result of this shocking outburst of savagery. Since the massacre, which will go down in history along side the atrocities committed in Brussels and Rheims, a delegation of Negroes has held a conference with Gov. Lowden at Springfield, but the outcome of this meeting will not bring back the lives of those who, for no valid reason, were struck down and murdered in cold blood. and answered the coarse saliies of men as they great their faces and breasts with fists, stones and sticks. I saw one of these furies fling herself at a militiaman who was trying to protect a Negro woman and wrestle with him for his bayonetted gun, while other women attacked the refugee. "What I saw in the 90 minutes between 6:30 p. m. and the lurid coming of darkness, was but one local scene of the drama of death. "It was no crowd of hot-headed youths.

Even the police have come to life—guardians of the laws who stood idly by and permitted the helpless to be slaughtered like so many sheep in an East St. Louis abattoir. The employment of Negroes in large numbers is not anything new in East St. Louis. For years they have worked in the stock yards. The big plants of this town and Venice furnish the male inhabitants of Lovejoy, formerly known as Brooklyn, a Negro town only a few miles away, with employment at a good remuneration. So the presence of Negroes did not create a new condition. To what depths of depravity white men and women stooped to vent their spleen on innocent Negroes was most graphically told by Carlos F. Hurd, a highly reliable staff reporter on the St. Louis Post Dispatch, who was an eyewitness to the massacre. What White Newspaperman Saw. Mr. Hurd's description of the mob's work in part follows: "For an hour and a half last evening I saw the massacre of helpless Negroes at Broadway and Fourth streets, in downtown East St. Louis, where a black skin was a death warrant. "I have read of St. Bartholomew's night. I have heard stories of the latter-day crimes of the Turks in Armenia, and I have learned to loathe the German army for its barbary in Belgium. But I do not believe that Moslem fanaticism or Prussian frightfulness could perpetrate murders of more deliberate brutality than those which I saw committed, in daylight, by citizens of the State of Abraham Lincoln. "I saw man after man, with hands raised, pleading for his life, surrounded by groups of men—men who had never seen him before and knew nothing about him except that he was black—and saw them administer the historic sentence of intolerance, death by stoning. I saw one of these men, almost dead from a savage shower of stories, hanged with a clothesline, and when it broke, hanged with a rope which held. Within a few paces of the pole from which he was suspended, four other Negroes lay dead or dying, another having been removed, dead, a short time before. I saw the pockets of two of these Negroes searched, without the finding of any weapon. Rock Dropped on Negroes Neck. "I saw one of these men, covered with blood and half conscious, raise himself on his elbow, and look feelly about, when a young man standing directly behind him, lifted a flat stone in both hands and hurled it upon his neck. This young man was much better dressed than most of the others. He walked away unmolested. "I saw Negro women begging for mercy and pleading that they had harmed no one, set upon by white women of the baser sort, who laughed IS ENLIABLE WHEN YOU HAVE IT IN "THE AGE" YOU CAN DEPEND UPON IT.

Some have lost nearest and dearest outburst of savagery, and answered the coarse sallies of men as they gat their faces and breasts with fists, stones and sticks. I saw one of these furies fling herself at a militiaman who was trying to protect a Negro woman and wrestle with him for his bayonetted gun, while other women attacked the refugee. "What I saw in the 90 minutes between 6:30 p. m. and the lurid coming of darkness, was but one local scene of the drama of death. "It was no crowd of hot-headed youths. Young men were in the greater number, but there were the middle-aged, no less active in the task of destroying life of every discoverable black man. It was a shirt-sleeve gathering, and the men were motsly workingmen, except for some who had the aspect of mere loafers. I have mentioned the peculiarly brutal crime committed by the only man there who had the appearance of being a business or professional man of any standing. "I would be more pessimistic about my fellow-Americans than I am today if I could not say that there were other workingmen who protested against the senseless slaughter. I would be asnamed of myself if I could not say that I forgot my place as a professional observer and joined in such protests. But I do not think any verbal objection had the slightest effect. Only a volley of lead would have stopped those murderers. "Get a "nigger,"" was the slogan, and it was varied by the recurrent cry, Get another! It was like nothing so much as the holiday crowd, with thumbs turned down, in the Roman Coliseum, except that here the shouters were their own gladiators, and their own wild beasts. "When I got off a State street car on Broadway at 6:30 a fire apparatus was on its way to the blaze in the rear of Fourth street, south from Broadway. A moment's survey showed why this fire had been set, and what it was meant to accomplish. Fire Drives Out Negroes. "The sheds in the rear of Negroes houses, which were themselves in the rear of the main buildings on Fourth street, had been ignited to drive out the Negro occupants of the houses. And the slayers were waiting for them to come out. "It was stay in and be-roasted or come out and be slaughtered. A moment before I arrived one Negro had taken the desperate chance of coming out, and the rattle of revolver shot, which I heard as L approached the corner, was followed by the cry. They got him." "And they had. He lay on the pavement, a bullet wound in his head and his skull bare in two places. At every movement of pain which showed that life remained, there came a terrific kick in the jaw or the nose or a crushing stone, from some of the men who stood over him. "As I turned back toward Broadway there was a shout at the alley and a Negro ran out, apparently hoping to find protection. He paid no attention to missles thrown from behind, none of which had hurt him much, but he was stopped in the middle of the street by a smashing blow in the jaw, struck by a man he had not seen. "Don't do that," he appealed. "I haven't hurt nobody." The answer was a blow from one side, a piece of curb-stone from the other side, and a paul which sent him on the brick pavement. He did not arise again, and the battering and kicking of his skull continued until he lay still, his blood flowing half way across the street. Before he had been booted to the opposite curb, another Negro appeared, and the "same deeds were repeated. I did not see any revolver shots fired at these men. Bullets and ammunition were saved for use at longer range. It was the last Negro I have mentioned who was apparently finished by the stone hurled upon his neck by the noticeably well dressed young man. "The butchering of the fire-trapped Negroes went on so rapidly that when I walked back to the alley a few minutes later, one was lying dead in the alley on the west side of Fourth street and another on the east side. "And now women began to appear. One frightened black girl, probably 20 years old, got as far as Broadway. with no worse treatment than jeers and _____ SYSTEM OF HAIR CULTURE The lowest Colored Industry in America All INDOOR Agents to satisfy demand for this service The great thick your hair straight without the use of a comb. comb and $11.50 worth of Hair preparations for $15.00.

At Broadway, in view of millitimen, the white women, several of whom had been watching the massacre of the Negro men, pounced on her. "Let the girls have her,' was the shout as the women attacked the young woman. The victim's cry, 'Please, please, I ain't done nothing' was stopped by a blow in the mouth with a browstick, which one of the women swung like a baseball bat. Another woman seized the Negress' hand, and the blow was repeated as she struggled helplessly. Finger nails clawed her hair, and the sleeves were torn from her waist, when some of the men called. Now let her see how fast she can run! The women did not readily leave off beating her, but they stopped short of murder, and the crying, hysterical girl ran down the street. Attack Old Colorad Woman. "An old colored women a few moments later came along with two or three militiamen, and the same women made for her. When one of the soldiers held his gun as a barrier the woman with the brogmstick seized it with both hands and struggled to wrest it from him while the others, striking at the Negress, in spite of the other militiamen, frightened her the night and hurt her somewhat. "From women baiting, the well-pleased procession turned to see a lynching. A Negro, his head laid open by a great stone-cut, had been dragged to the mouth of the alley on Fourth street and a small rope was being put about his neck. There was joking comment on the weakness of the rope, and everyone was prepared for what happened when it was pulled over a projecting cable box, a short distance up the pole. It broke, letting the Negro tumble back to his knees, and causing one of the men who was pulling on it to sprawl on the pavement. "An old man, with a cap like those worn by street car conductors, but showing no badge of car service, came out of his house to protest 'Don't you hang that man on this street,' he shouted. 'I dare you to.' He was pushed angrily away and a rope, obviously strong enough for its purpose, was brought A Sickening Incident "Right here I saw the most sickening incident of the evening. To put the rope around the Negro's neck one of the lynchers stuck his fingers inside the gaping scalp and lifted the Negro's head by it, literally bathing his hands in the man's blood. "Get hold and pull for East St. Louis! I called a man with a black coat and a new straw hat, as he seized the other end of the rope. The rope was long, but not too long for the number of hands that grasped it, and this time the Negro was lifted to a height of about seven feet from the ground. The body was left hanging there. "Everything which I have stated as a fact under my own observation. And what I saw was, as I have said, but a small part of the whole. "I must add a word about the efficiency of the East St Louis police. One of them kept me from going too near the fire. Absolutely the only thing that I saw policemen do was to keep that fire line."

The government is now taking a hand in such mob violence and not leaving the adjustment to the state itself is a condition we have dead and waited for. We have not done that a true bill of indictment and conviction will be brought against many. Nashville (Tenn.) Globe. To say that the East St Louis barbariates outherd Herod would be but a feeble expression. The crimes of the outlaws we trust will be fully investigated and punishment meted out to their perpetrators is our ardent wish and desire. Omaha (Neb.) Monitor. The most saddening feature of this terrible affair is the fact that it is but the frutage, of the general American attitude towards black men. Black men are the most prejudice of that race prejudice which denies to the Negro his civil, political and industrial rights, and manifests itself in segregation. "Jimcroism" and like disabilities, prejudice which regards him and treats him as a thing apart in our national life. Houston (Tex.) Freeman. Instead of meeting force with force, especially in instances where all Negroes are disarmed, as they wage at East St. Louis, the pick-up-and-go plan, regardless of personal sacrifice, is effective way to combat lynching and indifference on the part of the "best white people" who, like the officers of the law, never move or do anything until their business is damaged by the fury and recklessness of the mob. Providence (R. I.) Advance. We hope this event will thoroughly stir up the Negro masses as to pave the way for a general unification process among the race, for at no time in our American history do we need an organized as at present trying period. Hopkinsville (Ky.) News We read in the papers Thursday that the President has ordered a Federal investigation through the central department of the army.

This matter cannot be permitted to go unnoticed. Let us hope for the credit and prestige of our country that the North will demonstrate to the world that it is capable of defending its citizens by strength of the law. Houston (Tex.) Observer. We know that blood is thicker than water, President Wilson, Governor Powden, Illinois militiamen, governors, mayors, sheriffs and chiefs of police of Judge Lynch's states, cities and communities. But you have taken an oath of faith in faithfulness of your office, and Heaven's highest tribunal will sit in judgment on your cases. If such deeds of murder and arson represent Christianity, democracy and republicanism then let it repent the unmilptent Father that He ever permitted such an institution to the Illinois incident and all other mobocratic demonstrations are criminals of the deepest dye, and to permit them to go unpunished and unchecked disqualifies America or any other country to challenge the cause of democracy henceforth, now and for- Boston (Maize.) Chronicle. The colored people will not "stomach" proscription and insults very easily. The colored people are frailty and freedom are being dished out to Russia and Ireland across the seas with colored Americans left behind as given the right to resettle free air. Rockhill (N. C.) Messenger. Riots among the two races in this country are to be deplored at any time, and most especially now when they occur. We should be amicably adjusted without doing violence to either—in order that our united strength in power and sentiment may be turned towards the common enemy—Germany and her allyes. Raleigh (N. C.) Independent. We understand that the race conflict in East St. Louis arose out of the fact that industrial enterprises were importing and employing large numbers of Southern Negroes. This subsequent horror is but a continuation of this purpose with the added force of hostility to the government of the United States in its war with Germany. For the most part the lawless hordes who were active in the East St. Louis riot are foreigners with unpronounceable names, who are out of sympathy with our institutions and would gladly see our country go down in ignominious defeat. It may be a scheme well conceived to divert the energies and resources of the country from a violent conflict to stir up internal strife and embarrass the government in its war policies. : Chicago (Ill.) Idea. The Illinois Idea is neither discouraged nor angry about the riot in East St. Louis. There are millions of good whites and millions of good blacks in St. Louis. The riot in St. Louis is that the tough whites and the bad blacks cannot be turned loose among themselves, until the entire lot on both sides are wiped out of existence. The good should not be classed with the bad. Southern Christian Recorder (A.M.E.) The state government disgraced, the lieutenant general referred to by her enemies in derision and those all, Heaven has been inspired, and the God who created all mankind, regarded as a sleeping retrospect. Their biggest mistake is the God is not asleep; neither is He unmindful of the treatment of his helpless and innocent children. Patience, Faith, and Prayers, must be practiced by those who are oppressed. God will hold His court in every justice will be fair, color or conditions. Toneka (Kan.) Plaindealer. It is the duty of the executives of all states to surround themselves with the heat classes of citizens irrespective of color to perform the duties of the dance, that may arise that the matter may be checked at once. As a rule these white ruffians have influence over the better class of whites and before the law can be notified or made to break out and do harm that cannot be repaired for years. It seems that at this crucial time when war has been declared upon imperial Germany, there are duties of this country but all should be working hand in hand. National Baptist Voice. We are brave men, but patient and long-suffering, and we appeal to the government and the high manhood of the governing race to check these ever-recurring atrocities of the past, and to innocent men, women and children. We still have faith and believe that the great majority of the white race will from now on effectively deal with such murderers in their race who with wantonness kill women and children, along with defenseless men, because the vandals think this fact will shield them from any sort of answer or punishment. Yes, let the nobler part of the white race stamp out these hellish proclivities and misfortunes the Christian civilization erected by the better part. Hannibal (Mo.) Record. If more of our metropolitan journals would speak out thus against unlawfulness, we would have fewer disgraced scenes like the East Side Group, the Brooklyn Group, and these acts to not alone hurt the community in which they are enacted, but hurt the entire country, and cause race prejudice to grow and spread, and weaken our national unity, the group should our nation together, regardless of race or nationality. Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide. Will the United States Government take cognizance of the East St. Louis massacre? Is there any section of the United States in which the American exo cannot enjoy life, life, life, deporting himself as a law-abiding citizen? Will the United States government permit any group of its citizens to be deprived by anarchy of the common right to work for an honest living? Of these issues raised by the French race riots, and unless the United States Government takes prompt and vigorous action upon them, the United States Government should renounce its purposes for entering the world war and stand convicted among the nations of the world as the greatest hypocrite of all times. Indianapolis (Ind.) Freeman. A steadily demand for protection and justice such as we have kept up for the years will be our best weapons of offense and defense. These, with intelligence, thoughtful counsel, and the thought of resorting to other means on our part. As belligerent as we might choose to be we are in no sense prepared for an issue of that kind, and if we are wise we will keep it strictly on our part. COUNTRY APPLAUDS ROOSEVELT (Continued from page one) "A Grover Cleveland would have dealt with the East St. Louis murderers in the same vigorous fashion. The word of demenion and protest would not have gone out to the country from Carnegie Hall, but from Washington." The New York Globe, referring editorially to Col. Roosevelt's speech, says: "Whatever Mr. Gompers may have intended, his explanation of the East St. Louis massacre of Negroes was in effect a mitigation, or at least in palliation. To plead economic causes in such a connection was, as Colonel Roosevelt said, to repeat the excuses made in Russia when Jews were victims of pogroms. The East St.' Louis outbreak was a pogrom against the Negroes. Large words and attacks on exploiting capitalists do not suffice to screen the public fact. The retusal to accord to the Negro equal rights, to fall on him, and his wife and children when he presumes to exercise them, is the great shame of our democracy. Let us rejoice that the country possesses one public man with a sense of justice lively enough to feel hot rage. Mr Gompers is the champion of one class that he deems oppressed. He should broaden out enough to feel sympathy for another class more grossly oppressed. If the principles of the Declaration of Independence are good they are good for all—for the restraint of race discrimination as well as of capitalistic exploitation. As to men of other colors, not resident in this country, it is doubtless wise to adopt a policy of exclusion, but the Negro brought without his consent, is here and must be treated justly as a freeman and citizen." The New York Evening Post sees fit to praise Col. Roosevelt by saying: "Theodore Roosevelt's sense of justice, and his fundamental belief in an ordered democracy: never shone out more usefully than in his set-to with Mr. Gompers at the Russian meeting last night. One may regret that such a controversy should have been injected into such an occasion, but once in it, Col Roosevelt bore himself manfully. He did not seek the quarrel. In his formal address of greeting to the new Russian democracy, it was right and proper that he should refer to the defects of our own. His demonstrative mention, of the shocking East St Louis murderous roots expressed only what every decent American feels. And the attempted palliation of the horror and shame by Gompers, with his hollow apologies for labor unions resisting the tyranny of competing workmen who had been hired to East St. Louis, raised a wrath in Mr. Roosevelt's which was wholly righteous. His hold stand and his burning words will be noted throughout the entire land, and will help to bring about a better public sentiment. Already the citizens of East St. Louis are putting on sackcloth and ashes and are pledging themselves—though a trifle late—to give ample protection to every laborer, black or white. All thanks to Col Roosevelt say we, for having borne his testimony, like a brave man and a good citizen, against mob murder." WANTS A NATIONAL (Special to THE NEW YORK ASS) SPRINGFIELD, Mass—Sunday at St. John's Church the Rev. W. N. DeBerry declared that race riots, friction and the enactment of proscriptive segregation laws may be expected as inevitable incidents of the present exodus of the Negro for northern communities. In his sermon he secluded at the idea of the country sending soldiers to France to fight for a world democracy when the United States is unable to give the world an illustration of national democracy at home In speaking of the East St. Louis massacre the Rev. Dr De Berry said, "There was a time when the published description of such an orgy of murder and crime as took place at East St. Louis last week would have so aroused the moral sense of the American public that it would have asserted itself in nation-wide protest and censure, and the government itself would have speedily taken measures to secure to the remnant of these persecuted citizens their rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But such a time is past." 19 Prescott St., Jersey City, N. J. Wige, Braide, Banga, Pompadoura dresses, Scalp Treatment, Shampooing any style.

The Ne- gro race is afflicted with many in- dividuals whose wagging. tongues are apt to lead them, into indiscreet utterances that reflect upon the whole race. t. No man, or woman either, for that matter, is a friend to the race, who publicly advises a, resort to violence to redress the wrongs and ‘injustices to which members of the ‘race are subjected in various sec- ‘tions of the country at the present time. , _ Those who advise the resort to firearms and the throwing of bombs - as a means of reprisal for such out- - rages as the slaughter at East’ St. * Louis are playing with fire. The +indiscreet talkers will probably be the last to suffer from their empty mouthings, as those who preach violence are the last to prattice it. But their bombast can only do harm. 7 _ We are’ insisting on the main- tenance of law and order; we are slaiming the protection of the law and invoking the law for the re- “dress of those evils that confront «ats; we cannot therefore afford to .jencourage lawlessness on our be- “half. We must, therefore, main- “tain law and order on our own “part. 5 . "Let the limber tongued brethren Sestrain their natural, but danger- ous vaporings. Let them unite in a ‘manly insistent appeal to the ; proper authorities to maintain the “supremacy of the law. Public , sentiment is opposed to such out- * rages as the race has just suffere@ “and will back up such an appeal. ‘The unruly tongues should not, be ‘allowed to alienate public sympathy ftom the cause of the oppressed. SAMMY. “TEDDY: OR BILLY? The reports, “passed by censor,” that the American troops recently Janded in France, have been af- “fectionately greeted by the French people as “Sammies,” has stated a lively discussion among the mighty ‘minds of the metropolitan dailies, as to an appropsiate nickname for the soldier fror this side. The choice seems to limited to the two names, “Sammy” and “Teddy.” The’ British soldier for a long time hag been popularly referred to ‘as “Tommy Atkins.” Hence the term “Tommies” is not liable to ‘misunderstanding when used to describe ‘those troops in a body, ‘though we doubt if the Kilted ware, riors {rom the Scottish Highlands are included ‘under that nickname, “Jock” or “Sandy” would seem more in keeping for the wearers of the tartan. But nevertheless, the “Tommiies” are those who are serv- ing Kirig and Country. °°”. : The advocates “Of. the term’ “Sammies”: can point to the fact, that- “Undle--Sam” is the-popular embodiment of the presiding'genius of the United States, and it would only be naturai that his nephews and namesakes, should be enlisted in his armies. The contention raised by, some that the diminutive “Sammy” — sounds — mollycodlish seenis farfetched, The proper-tlame Samuel is full of strength and viril- ity and has an honorable record from the days of the prophets and patriarchs ‘to the present, Even the affectionate use wf the diminu- tive “Sammy” cannot separate it from the idea of force and -go- ahead-ativeness. With the varia- tion of “Sambo” color and music are added to the appellation. “Teddy” derives’ its strength from,the fact that it suggests the strenuous and yital personality of an illystrious ex-President, who is represented abroad — by — several members of his family, though de- barred from being present in per- son. Its force and strength are ex- ceptional, but restricted to that one personality. It lacks the general application found in “Sammy.” However, in case the advocates of the two terms should end in a deadlock, a dark horse might take the lead in the form of “Billy.” Euphonious, thoroughly American and already popular as a masculine salutation, “Dill” or “Billy” would fill the bill. Be it “Sammy,” “Teddy” or “Billy.” may success attend their campaign! * THE OLDEST RACE JOUR- NAL - Preparatiuns are being made to celebrate the sixty-fifth anniversary of the Christian Recorder, the of- ficial organ of the African Metho- dist Episcopal Church: | The Christian Recorder is prob- ably the oldest race journal now in existence. It was founded in 1852 in Philadelphia, and is the only sur- viving race newspaper which helped to fight for the abolition’ of slavery. Some of the most brilliant’men of the race have filled its editorial chair. Its first editor was the Rev. Marcellus M. Clark, who was one of the very few Negroes to grad- uate from college during thp first half of the 19th century; the Rev. (afterwards “Bishop) Jabez! ‘Campbell, the Rey. Elisha Weaver, the Rev. (how Bishop) B. ‘Tl. Tan- ner, the Rev. (now Bishop) B. ¥. Lee; the Rev. H. T. Johnson. “The present editor is the Rev, KR. K. Wright, who serves in the double capacity of editor and manager of the book concern. The celebration swill take the practical form of “attempting tw wipe out the debt of the concern, amounting to $15,000. We trust the effort may be crowned with success and that the Recorder, freed from its burden, may be ‘converted into an asset instead of lan incumbrance of the denomina- ion it represents. ~ WANTED— .

There is a class of advertising at which even the most hardened newspaper man is apt to shake his head: Au example of this recently came to this office with the request to place in one issue and forward replies.

For three years the American-Negro has been listening to a flow of high-sounding words about democracy and humanity, com- ing from the highest. authority in the land; all the while the truth being forced. upon him by facts that the speaker of these words, Gonsciously or unconsciously, did not include black mem in either his “democracy” or his “humanity.” _ . ‘The American Negro has seen the whole nation stirred to action over atrocities in Belgium and Serbia and Armenia; while seémingly nothing could be done or even said about atrocities in Waco and, Gainesville and Abbeyille and Memphis and East St. Louis. ° The American Negro sees the nation go forth as the champion of oppressed peoples in other lands; and his bewilderment gives way to a feeling of contempt for the civilization and the religide that can clothe themselves in such hypocrisy. « ‘ : These feelings have been growing stronger through the past three or four years, and reached their greatest intensity after the burnt human sacrifice at Memphis and the massacre at East St: Lottis; while the empty words about making the world safe for de- mocracy were still echoing through the land. . And thus the American Negro stood, straining to ‘hear words fof sincerity. ‘They havé come.’ Come from the lips of Theodore Roosevelt, our-chempion of old. With all his tremendous might and power he verte at hypocrisy. He held the mirror up to the face of the nation so that it could see itself through the eyes of truth. He also shed:a new light across our sky and shed a new hope in our hearts. 3 MORE EVIDENCE OF IGNORANCE. Last week we said that the’ South, contrary to its boast. knows less about the Negro than does the North. We stated that the South knows the Negro on the outside, but not on the inside. It is famil- iar with his outer needs and efforts, but is absolutely ignorant of his inner sufferings and aspirations, The following paragraph taken from an editorial on the Negro exodus in the Charlotte (XN. C.) Ob- server is further evidence of the truth of that statement: - There is no use shutting our eyes to the actual facts The exodus of the Negro as entirely separated from politeal causes, ‘Te Negro is not disturbed about the loss of his vote, nor is his mind concerned with segre- ganon, What he waits 1s better homes, better pay for his labor and Proper recognition of his worth as an imdustrious laborer When these are given him, that portion of the myrated Negroes which the South wants will come back, and the desirable clement which the South 1s anx- ious to retain will stay here Here we have the editor of an important paper beheving that such progressive Negroes as the colored people of North Carolina have shown themselves to be do not want the right to vote, that they. do not feel humbated and opteiged at attempis to segregate them. Here we have a well informed man living among these peuple whe beheves that all they want is what any good horse, sow or mule wants, a fairly decent plice to sleep and enough to eat.

A OUEER PROBLEM: The conscription law is raising a puzzling mathematical problem in certain sections of the country as the following Washington dis: patch to a Southern newspaper will show: Jt is not the piirpose of the government to crijyle farming an those states that have'a large Negro population by draitms tle blacks of mili- lary age into the army In states like Mississipn Lomsiana, Georgia and South Carola, where the Negro registration 5 heaves, there has been some apprehension lest furnt help especially be seriously curtailed by the blacks going into the army Representative (fumphreys of Mississippi whe inade inquiry on this subject, was advised that there would be no dayisting of farm labor tr military service. In Mr. Humphrey's own district, witich has the largest Negro population im Mississippr, the number of Negroes to register on June 5 greatly exceeded the whites Mr Humphreys was also iierned that there ‘would he ne atiempt te take youte white men im his or any other large, Negro district te supply the places ot the Negroes whe will be kept on the farms, > j According.to this dispatch. it is the Government's policy not to draft colored men inte the army who amght be needed on the cotton plantations of Mississippi ML right and good. such a course seems to be entirely within the eter of the laws. But when Mr Humphreys, the gentleman from Mississippi, is tse assured by the authorities in Washington that ne attempt willbe made to drait young white men te lth the s+ cal the young eolered men kept on the farms, we fail to see how they are going to werk the problem out and get the right answer. It looks as though they are guing to try to make zero from zero equal one. However, this may after all he a simple problem fur peuple who have managed ‘to draw two interpretations, one for whites’ and another fur blacks, from a single set of laws. carried to such an extreme by a certain metropolitan daily, for wn- worthy purposes, that it became a reproach for “any other paper to print such matter. : We would like to know what our readers think about the matter.

A WASTE OF TIME—YET— It i& generally a waste of time to argue with a prejudiced man. The very term “prejudice” implies a state of mind that permits of the forming of-opinions’ without recourse to facts; and it follows that it does not permit facts to change opinions. This statement is especially true of men who suffer from race prejudice. Yet, it is difficult to resist the temptation to argue with a prejudiced people. Perhaps the ampulse springs from a feeling that they ought not be alluwed to get'away with it. ‘There has been going on in, the columns of The Tribune a dis- cussion of the Negro prublem. ‘The letters have been pro and con. In a recent issue, a Mr. Arthur W. Baker comes bravely to the defense of the South. In answering the charge of a prior corre- spondent that the school system of the South, so far as it applies to the Negro, is ‘inefficient and worthless,” Mr. Baker says: Every Southern state has provided educational institutions for its Negroes at a great expense to the white taxpayers, Tuskegee, Ala., has the school so wonderfully built up by Booker T. Washington, and Hamp- ton Institute, at Hampton, Va. has more volumes in its hbrary than the wealthy University ef Pittsburgh. We can see from the above statement that prejudice and ignor- anee are twin brothers, Mr Baker's theory of political economy harks back to the dark ages: Ue still clings to the belief that white property owners in the South bear the expense of public school edu- cation for colored children. He does not realize that every Negro in the South who rents a house-or a farm or works for wages and spends his carnings with the merchants pays, in proportion, as great an amount of taxes as any one in the community. Suppose the comparatively few property owners on Manhattan Jsland should claim that they bore the expense of public school education for the hundreds of thousands of children whose parents pay rent for houses and Mats and apartments. \bsurd! but not mure absurd than this claim whieh is so constantly made in the South Mr, Taker's statement about ‘Tuskegee and Hampton is laugh: able The only things the South has contributed to these two insti- tutions in large quantities ave been air and sunshine, Practically allai the money that went to buy the land and put up the buildings, that stocks the libraries‘and pays the teachers has come out of the North. Yet, we wish to be fair and say that the South holds the same relation to such institutions as Tuskegee and Hampton that the non-property owning Negro holds to the Southern public school sys- tem, Mr, Raker may take eigher-end of the argument. * This Tribune correspondent goes on to say: * . Any seus \were may get an education in the South if he is ambi- fees chomgh The school system is nat quite so effective as to pour Kinowledge imte his thick head Mithout a little effort on his parts he must study to lean. just as he must eat to'live. Botly are natural laws We should like Mr. Baker. to name a single institution sup- ported by money coming directly out of the pockets of the white South where @ young Negro, however thin his skull might be. can get a real education, ‘There are a number of such institutions sup- ported by money coming directly out of the pockets of the black South. . ae i \nother bit of wisdom: 2 ‘There has heen‘a slenial of civil rights, to he sure, for no better rea- som than the protection of the Negro against his own ignorance. We hardly know whether to take this seriously or as a joke. \tany rate, there is a sort of grim humor in the idea of taking a man’s, rights aivay from him for his own protection, Mr. Raker, in coneluding, holds out the olive branch to his Northern adversaries. Ie expresses his own magnanimity in the following words: : As rea) Americans let us forget internal differences and tend a hand in bavkinu “the powers that he” in Washington during the war 1 shall * show my byenestness by game to Prince with a regimentsthat fought | agnmst my Grefithers in the Civil War. We thy te would have oxpressed truer Americanism had he said? “FP stall show my earnestness by going to the front for the Government that my forefathers fought aganist in the Civil War.” | HOW CANDIDATES WERE CHOSEN Die eR Re ee ae A: OT ua Tee ae a eee, Permit us to offer_a few words. in refutation of an arte that appeared ia recent issue of a Negra weekly published in Harlem, both impugning the motives of Col, Hayward in his se- lection of the candidates representing the Fifth Infantry, N.Y.

Let at be understood at the outset that it is not the purport of this letter to enter into the controversy. either Pro or con, witich inspired the arude to which we in part here attempt to answer, s To anyone intimately acquainted with the personnel of the Fifteenth Iniantry, N.

At least fifty men became at one time or another applicants, anyone of whom might have been chosen without any loss of prestige to the regiment, and yel.ffo iar as we know; none were ever conspicuous by their ‘antagonism to the Colonel or his policy, We feel that they shared our appreciation ui the unstated efforts and undaunted courage of the Colonel in organizing and bring- img to such a state of efficiency the xallant Fifteenth.

"BROADWA (BY LESTER) "BROADWAY RASTUS" IT is rumored that a popularized plans to play one colored priced circuit recently organmusical attraction in its theatres throughout the East and Middle West next season. If the promoters of this new chain of houses are really in earnest about making such a commendable and timely move respectfully recommend that they give "Broadway 'Rastus' serious THE NEW YORK TIMES THE FIRST WORLD WAR consideration. Perhaps by giving Minis like this show the "once over" it would save them the trouble of putting to gether a brand-new production and one whose success at the start might be problematical. "Broadway Rastus" m its present form is not a finished product by any means, but it suggests great possibilities. It is a diamond in the rough which easily can be made into a sparkling theatrical gem. What Irvin Miller needs most is some financial assistance. Then by process of elimination and addition he could turn out an attraction that would serve as pace-setter on the new circuit or over any of the established burlesque wheels. Friday evening of last week I attended a performance of "Broadway Rastus" at the New Standard Theatre, Philadelphia, and for a few hours was made to forget all about East St. Louis, Ill., the European War and the high cost of living. Comedy reigns supreme in the production, which contains more genuine humor in the first act than some Broadway musical shows dispense throughout the entire performance. Sonie of the comedy situations are full-fledged mirth-provokers, especially the scene in the barbershop and the scene in front of the bakery shop. Irvin C. Miller as Rastus and Henry Jines as Mose, are the chief gloom dispellers and they work together with a naturalness that is most impressive. Theodore Pankey, whose work in Cole and Johnson's "Shoo-fly Regiment" and "Red Moon" made him such a favorite with members of the gentler sex, has one of the principal speaking parts in the show and talks and walks about with the same vigor of yesteryear. In his collection, of vocal numbers he has not been provided with a "Gay Luneta" or a- "Road to Monterey," but makes the best of the opportunities and scores. One of the most energetic members of the cast is Esther Bigeou, who sings, dances and recites in strenuous fashion aside from saying lines. One of the best things she does is a baseball recitation. Downs and Gomez have deserted ```markdown ``` the vaudeville ranks, for the time being at least, and greatly strengthen the vocal end by their artistic rendition of numbers. Leo Edwards, as Uncle Plummer, a doubting Thomas, does one of the best bits in the show. His eccentric dancing wins applause. Others in the cast who go through their parts with vigor are Grace Johnson, Frank Walker, "Bud" 1930 Mons Lacey, Dr. on, Goldie Craigel, and J. R. Benton, Jenson. Although these are days of icewater, ice cream sodas and fans, every seat was taken at the Standard Theatre Friday evening, and it is said that the house is doing the biggest summer business of any in the Quaker City Manager Gibson deserves great credit for making the Standard a paying proposition. He is the most successful of all colored theatre managers to-day, and to be such in spite of the many difficulties a Negro manager is forced to encounter, is indeed an achievement. The attendants at the Standard are courteous and help to make the theatre popular among local theatregoers. But more about "Broadway Rastus," which is a dance and song revue in two acts, written and staged by Irvin C. Miller, songs composed by Domer C. Brown. The two acts could be more evenly divided, as the first act occupies too long a stretch of time. Intermission ought to come at least twenty minutes earlier. I repeat that in "Broadway Rastus" there is fine material for a crack-a-jack musical show and that managers would do well to look upon it with some degree of friendliness. The show is playing at the Lafayette Theatre this week and according to all reports, is pleasing Harlemites. LAFAYETTE THEATRE Next week the Lafayette Theatre management will produce "The Yellow Ticket," which ran one year at the Eltinge Theatre and proved as big a success as "Within the Law." The story of "The Yellow Ticket" briefly concerns a young Russian girl of Jewish faith whose name is Marya Varenka. In order to leave her village to visit her dying father she is forced to apply for the yellow ticket. Arriving, she learns of her father's death. Thus the young girl is left alone in St. Petersburg with only the badge of the social outcast to protect her. Needless to say, she does not follow the profession signified on the face of the yellow ticket. She becomes companion to a rich young English woman desirous of studying the language of the Russians. Thus comfortably settled, the secret police learn that she carries the much talked of ticket and informs her employer, who refuses to listen to her plea and casts her out. In her despair she turns to Baron Andery, chief of the secret police and a man of tremendous influence, for protection. The Baron promises to aid her, but on terms which the girl cannot mistake and refuses to accept. --- THE ESTHER BIGEOU The doors are locked with no way of escape. Then in this terrible dilemma she is driven to kill the Baron During her tutoring and companionship she has met a young American newspaper man, Julian Rolfe, who falls in love with her, and it is through his untiming efforts and confidence in her innocence that the play ends logically by the release of the girl, more to save the dead Baron's name than for any regard for the American journalist or the unfortunate girl. CONFERENCE ON As the director of the only colored community vocal school and in the capacity of a musical missionary, I attended the National Conference on Community Music for whatever inspiration and help I could receive. Community musical uplift has been a fad of mine for years'. I was surprised to find but one other colored delegate in the person of a lady supervisor of music in the Washington Public Schools. It was a splendid conference. Each one got up and told how he was born to this community uplift thought because his mother had had family singing and also of his own efforts along the same line. I thought of my own mother, a pioneer musician who did so much musical work among our people, especially in the South, where she went to live after her marriage, just after the war. Her thrilling experiences of teaching the freedmen how to sing by note, while an opposed white community entered protest by throwing stones in the windows of the church, were much more interesting. But the conference was no colored experience meeting, and I had no chance to toot the musical horn of a colored family. I tried to get a colored man on the executive board, but my train for Chicago left before the business meeting. Some I approached took the proposition very kindly while others were not so favorably inclined and looked a bit astounded. I did not succeed in persuading any one to take the initiative in nominating my candidate. I understand that the organization has not completed its business and I am hoping that it will be broad enough to include the colored brother in this great civic movement. One community chorus conductor from a New England State told me that he had a colored man in his chorus and that he had asked what he should do about it. (Fancy asking such a thing) He said he had been advised that things would adjust themselves after a while. So we must watch and wait for this 'agical adjustment. The address of welcome was by Cabot Ward, president of the Park Board and Park Commission. Then we heard papers and talks. "The Meaning of Community Music" was given by Arthur Farwell, president of the New York Community Chorus, John C, Freund, the witty Hebrew editor of Musical America, gave a paper on "The Present Condition of Music in the United States." "The Relationship of Schools and Colleges to Community Music" was presented by Peter Dykema of the University of Wisconsin. At the enjoyable luncheon Mrs. Kate Douglass Wiggins, who presided, told, in a delightfully witty manner, all about what her family had done musically for her old home town. Mrs. Edward MacDowell spoke of her Peterborough, N. H., Memorial Community Work. At night, at the Washington Irying High School, William McCoy of San Francisco gave a fine but too lengthy paper and Harry Barnhart gave a demonstration of community singing methods, which I wish colored chorus directors could have heard. On Friday morning the talks were again fine and to the point. "What the Women of the Country Are Doing for Community Music" was given by the chairman of the Committee of Community Music of the National Council of Women. "What Music Can Do for Rural Communities," "Civic Music in Chicago" and "Community Music in Military Training Camps," together with a talk on the song and light celebrations in Rochester and New York took up the whole morning. Because I had to take a train at 2 I missed the round table discussion on "Music Schools for Communities." "The Organization of Civic Music Associations." "The Community. Chorus and Right Leadership" and Community Music and the Professional Musician." At night there was a song festival with the New York Community Chorus and choruses of Orange and East Orange, N. J. I left the conference a sadder woman and I was glad that I had not stayed to hear those thousand, voices for I would have been jealous for my own people. We could do all that, too, but who is to finance the effort? I thought of Mr. Ditt at Hampton and I thought of Mr. Dett at Hampton and thought of Miss Wilhemina Patterson way down in Prairie View, Texas; I thought of Mr. Diton way down in Talladega, Ala. All of these, and others, who are pioneer community workers, could do for Negroes exactly what Harry Barnhart is doing if these colored musicians only had financial support. I could; imagine these young Negroes giving their experiences and how the blue and gray eyes would open to learn that "there were others," black at that, who had had the same vision—and, more—they had been working out unrailed for years. All sorts of interesting literature was circulated. I will copy some of the leading thoughts: The community movement is sweeping the country. Hundreds of community choruses are forming everywhere, everywhere the people of all kinds and conditions are coming together to express themselves in song Why and Why Now? Because the American people have remained dumb as long as they can bear it. Because they have much to express in common at this time of national crisis. Because to sing is the fundamental way of affirming faith in God and the nation. Because by singing alone can the emotions of all peoples be fused in compact national organism: Because in song, differences are forgotten and the spirit which all people show in common comes forth as a creative power for the shaping of the community and the nation Point of View. A community chorus is not a singing society. It is the means of giving the nation a voice. It is absolutely democratic. It includes all who want to come together for the joy of singing without voice trial and without dues. The circulars told of the work of the New York Community Chorus, which organized January 9, 1916, which has held "sings" every week and which has invited everybody to sing freely with it at Central Park on Sunday afternoons, or elsewhere. The Great Song and Light Festival, the Tree of Light and the Messiah, with one thousand voices, at Madison Square Garden were reviewed. A sketch of Mr. Harry Barnhart, the wonderful leader of the New York, the Buffalo and the Oranges choruses, "the originator of the Community Chorus idea" (which he really is not), and the leading national figure in the Community Chorus movement was given. Quotations from Shakespeare, Pope, Tennyson and Walt Whitman's "Hear America Go Singing to Her Destiny," gave prophecy and endorsement to the new movement. After I gol' seated in the Pullman to return to Chicago my throat clutched and tightened at the thought of a great civic movement like this national effort—with my people—a singing people—seemingly left out. I hear that at the great New York Carnegie Hall meeting and the great Chicago Coliseum meeting colored choruses were conspicuous by their absence. Our people must wake up and prepare for these occasions. If we are ready we may sing right along with other choruses when these great meetings are held. Somebody start something! Everywhere—if you love your race and love music. LINCOLN THEATRE At the Lincoln Theatre, Saturday and Sunday, the Ivan Film Company will present the photoplay entitled "One Law for Both." On Monday Frank Montgomery and Company will be seen in "The Return of Hapsey," with new songs, dances and pretty girls. In conjunction with Frank Montgomery and Company a girl act of twelve people will be on the bill and other turns. NO COLOR-LINE IN CITY BALL GAMES AT BUFALO BUFFALO, N. Y.-The Buffalo Municipal Baseball Association has issued the following statement, declaring that no color line would be drawn in 'the municipal games: "As there was some comment on the playing of John Emory aid Home Run Johnson of the Pittsburgh Colored Stars by the Phoebe Snows in a Municipal League game last Sunday and some chronic kicker wishes to know what the league's stand is in the matter. I'll advise him or anyone else our position "The Buffalo Municipal Baseball Association has not as yet drawn the color line and does not intend to do so as long as the present board of directors is running the affairs of the association for its good and welfare. We have no more right to bar a colored player from playing in a Municipal game than the city authorities have to prohibit colored people from using the public parks of this city for the purpose of enjoying themselves. "The team that played Emory and Johnson was perfectly within their rights as neither player hail played with or jumped from any team in our association and they were eligible to play and still are until they break any of our playing rules, and, furthermore, both men have worked a number of years for the Lackawanna railroad, which the Phoebe Snows represent. "We have had colored players playing in the Class A, B, C and D leagues since our organization, and, if those who desire information, would consult the book of rules; page 8, article 2, section 7, they might be enlightened. The rule reads: "No player shall be eligible to play in games under the jurisdiction of this association who shall have received a monetary consideration for playing baseball, except that such compensation was received prior to the first day of July of the current season." THE MUSICIAN MISS PHYLLIS W. WATERS Miss Phyllis Wheatley Waters, who was a member for four years of the Ann Arbor High School basketball team, being elected captain in her senior year, the first time a colored girl had been thus honored, graduated last week from the University of Michigan, where for four years she played on the varsity basketball team, distinguishing herself in all branches of athletics. She is the daughter of Phil Waters of Charleston W. Va., Chief Deputy Clerk of the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia, who is also a Michigan alumnus, and was a star ball player in the early nineties and now an acknowledged authority on athletics. Miss Waters will take a post graduate course at Wellesley. BASEBALL AT EAST ORANGE. On June, 30th and on a Saturday afternoon at the Elmwood Oval, Last Orange, N. J., the Orange Y. M. C. A (Glorify) and the fast East Orange Baseball team were the contesting nines. The East Orange boys, by their peppery showing, demonstrated that they were superior. For the last four years the East Orange boys have lost only one game, and that was to the Montclair Y. M C. A Hall, who was on the mound for the East Orange boys, held the Y M C A team to a one-hit and scoreless game. Lewis twirled well for the losers, but received poor support. The score stood 0 to 0 in favor of East Orange. The lineup: East Orange Baseball—J. Clark, r. i.; L. Young, s. s.; P. Young, c.; Goss, 1st b.; Franklin, 2d b.; P.

Hot HORSPINS, Va — Wednesday, July 4th, the Homestead Giants defeated the Greenbrier, Giants, 12 to 9. The locals made the champions extend themselves to win, for it was in the champion's half of the ninth, with the score 9 to 7 against them, and with two runners on the paths that J. D. Ransford, their crack left fielder, tripped to deep center, sending the Giants across the plate and tying up the score. Two doubles and a single followed thus timely triple and the game was put on ice for the boys from Hoi Springs. George Henderson played a snappy game in center field for the Giants, also did L. Jackson in right field, and Dick Skupper at third base. James Larker, the Giants' first baseman, got his second home run of the season. PICURE MEETING WITH FAVOR. "The Scapegoat," the new motion picture by the Frederick Douglass Film Co., 354 Pacific avenue, Jersey City, N.J., had a very successful run in Baltimore, Md., and in Arkansas last week.

In the foyer of these houses will hang a picture of the person after whom it is named, and the uniforms of the hall attendants will bear the name of the house. This marks a long jump from the conditions under which Philip A Payton, New York's pioneer Negro real estate agent, found colored people living when he commenced his real estate operations in this city seventeen years ago. History of Colored Harlem. The history of "Colored Harlem" and the rise of Mr. Payton are synonymous. The Outlook of December 23, 1914, in an article under the caption, "A.Negro City in New York," after calling Mr. Payton the "Father of this community," said, among other things, "It was Payton's theory that living conditions equal those available for the white man what the Negro needed to give him the realization of white progress and white standards." Mr. Payton was born in Westfield, Mass., February 27, 1876; he was educated in the public and high schools of that town and at Livingston College, Salisbury, N. C. He is a typical new England Yankee with all that implies in character, integrity and shrewdness. Coming to New York in April, 1899, to try his luck in the "city of cities," he secured a job in one of the large department stores—as attendant for "jeeny-in-the-slot" picture and weighing machines at $6 per week. He remained in this place until Labor Day, when he went home with the consent of his employer for a few days' visit, only to find another man in his job upon his return. Being up against it, his trade (barbering) which he had learned in his father's shop as a boy, came to his rescue and enabled him to earn $5 or $0 a week. Open's Office in Harlem. In February, 1900, he secured a place as a porter in a real estate office at a salary of $8 a week; it was while there he conceived the idea of going into the real estate business, and in October, 1900, he opened a small office in West 32d street, near Eighth avenue, with a partner, under the firm name of Brown and Payton. They struggled along under a monthly rental of $20, telephone and other expenses until spring, when the partner tired of the business, the entire gross receipts during this period not having equalled $125, and quit. Payton continued the fight alone until disposes proceedings for nonpayment of rent cut short his efforts at this point. He moved to a small office in Nassau street, where he suffered a-like fate in a few months. Mr. Payton says of himself. "The hardships I suffered and the funny experiences I underwent while establishing myself as a real estate man in New York would fill a book in which a reader could shed a few tears and secure many a good laugh. Besides being dispossessed three times and once evicted for nonpayment of rent, I have walked from Nassau street to Harlem on more than one occasion for want of a nickel." Dr. Booker T. Washington, in his 'Negro in Business,' says of Mr. Payton: "He had an opportunity during this time to learn something of the condition under which colored tenants lived, sometimes are compelled to live; in New York; stranger than all else he was, he confessed to me, several times put out of houses, bag and baggage, for habitility to pay his rent. He has thus been able to see how an ejection suit looked from both the point of view of the tenant and the landlord." Secures First Tenement. Mr. Payton secured his first tenement to manage by, agreeing to occupy the apartment in a house where a murderer, suicide had occurred, and where his owner found it impossible as a result to secure white tenants. By the showing he made in filling this house with a desirable class of colored tenants, thus making it an attractive investment for the owner, he was soon able to secure the management of other houses. Using the front room of his apartment as an office, and by working from 12 to 18 hours a day, he finally secured the agency of enough houses to warrant the opening of an office at 67 West 134th street, where he is now located. All this time, while seeking to secure desirable tenements for the proper housing of his people, he also worked dili- THE NEW YORKER gently trying to sell properties, without any pecuniary success, until one day he found himself in a bewildered possession of $1,150 commission as a result of a deal he had engineered. By judiciously investing this money, purchasing the property in which he lived, the foundation was laid for a business which has won the admiration of the thinking people of New York. Nothing succeeds like success, and from this point owners began turning their property over to Mr. Payton in various block of what is now known as "Colored Harlem," and this was the beginning of the community that today numbers 70,000 people. Within a few short years, starting with nothing but a determination to win, he was a sensation in New York, holding title to properties worth nearly a million dollars Believes in Advertising. He has always been a great believer in advertising, he was the first real estate man in the entire city to adopt the out-door billboard method of advertising, and his real estate advertisements were the first to ever appear in the elevated trains and subways. At one time, a few years ago, he spent more than $25,000 for advertising during the period of four months. His deals run into millions and embrace some of the finest properties in the city, thus proving that color need be no barrier to a man's success. By dint of superb courage, ingratiating doggedness and a thorough knowledge of his business, he has broadened his field of real estate activities, until today there is scarcely a large owner of real estate in New York City who has not done business with him in some capacity, and there are few people, if any, in the entire city who are at all interested in real estate to whom the name Payton is not well known. The biggest lawyers and the largest brokers, without exception, place him among those at the top of the profession of real estate experts. His deals are carefully conceived and skillfully executed. His clientelle is 99 per cent white, and they believe in him and accord him the greatest respect. The late Dr. Booker T. Washington once said that "Payton's business success had done as much as any other one thing toward the solution of the race problem; wherever I go. North or South, East or West, to the small city or the large, I see and feel the influence of Mr. Payton upon the colored man in the real estate field. He has dignified for the colored man a business in which he was formerly a joke." Mr. Payton is president and treasurer of the Philip A Payton, Jr. Company, Real Estate Agents, Brokers and Appraisers, and is heavily interested in a number of reality companies with large realty holdings. He has a beautiful summer home in one of the most artisticocratic sections along the Jersey Coast, though he spends most of his time in Harlem. However wealthy he may become, by common consent of his race in New York City, he will go down in history not because he was rich, but rather because as "Father of Colored Harlem," he opened up in the heart of a prejudiced city a most delightful and healthy section to his people.

Lorillard Spencer's talk to the members of the Fifteenth Regiment on "Drills and Discipline," taken from Leitu. Gen. Sir Robert Baden-Powell's "Quick Training for War." "Yet another step to confidence is that of knowing that his comrades around him are all equally good men that they understand their job, and will play the game and stick it out with him to the end. This they can do only by knowing what the game is, having an intelligent interest in it, and having a certain amount of sense of self-sacrifice and helpfulness to each other in getting the work done. The spirit in the men is of greater value than any other quality that can be produced. It is, in fact, another C—viz, of character which goes to make them efficient for war. Now this character and spirit are about the last things that drill will put into a man, yet of all things they are the most valuable. "The last form of confidence, which is possibly the most important of them all for giving a man courage in the field, is confidence in his leader. To inspire confidence in his men the leader must as a matter of course have absolute confidence in himself. He can only have this if he knows the whole of his work from A to Z, and if he feels that he is ready to meet any occasion of any tricks that fate may try to play on him in the strenuous work of active service. His men are observing him all the time; they are quick to read his character, because instinctively they feel that their lives are largely in his hands. They are quick to detect any nervousness of hesitation in his action and to adopt it as their own, but they are even more quick, fortunately for us, to catch on to any dash and bravery and self-confidence which he may display. If he possesses that electric touch of leadership which comes from the possession of the four C's of soldiering, they will brace their minds and follow him if need be to the gates of hell. "That is the secret of discipline. The so-called military discipline of repression by punishment for any neglect of orders is a soul-destroying machine which strangles true efficiency. The old iron-bound discipline of former days which regulated more brutish minds to the hand of brave and manly, though it may be unintelligent officers, has given place to a higher tone of discipline which contends of a sense of playing the game for one's side, and of carrying out a difficult or dangerous task from a sense of duty rather than from fear of punishment. This, if it is coupled with a genuine belief in the powers of the leader, constitutes the highest and most enthusiastic form of discipline, such as carries men through tight places and wins battles. "Among the many duties laid down for an officer there is one which I have not seen prominently alluded to, and yet it has a very important bearing on the confidence of the men in themselves and in their ability to carry out an arduous campaign, and is, therefore, an important step toward courage. Those who have not been on active service scarcely realize the change of atmosphere which comes over the men after a few days or weeks of campaigning. The average spectator only sees the men going on service like lions, and is unaware of what lambs they become when worn with marching, fed up, as they call it, with hard fare and hardships. Thus the health and fitness of the men is really a matter of extreme importance, and just as the cavalryman should be a good, horse master as well as a good horseman, the commander of troops must be a good man master as well as a good man leader in the field. "It is just as much part of the soldier's duty to be healthy as to be a good horseman or a good shot; and it is just as much the duty of the officer to teach him how to be so-and to see to shoot or to be efficient in other ways' that he is so as to teach him to ride or This was a warning which I once had to publish on the subject of sickness, in the South African campaign we had 18,000 men admitted to hospital for wounds, but nearly 400,000 for sickness, though South Africa is not such a very unhealthy country. "The average men do not know how to look after their own personal hygiene in the slightest degree, and officers will do well to impress upon them a few useful hints in the course of their training for war. Drill will not do it. "Above all, the officer must include in his scheme of training the teaching of the spirit and moral of soldiering. To the importance of this I have already drawn attention. I will here add a few suggestions toward its development in the men. Whether you are an officer or N. C. O. teaching, or a man learning, courage, practice these points which make you an expert at your work as a fighting man. You will gain confidence in yourself as being at least as good, if not better, than your opponent, whether at marching, judging distance, straight shooting, horsemanship, scouting, stalking, night work, entrenching, skill with bayonet, sword or lance. These come by practice and competition more quickly than by drill. General Nogi, the great Japanese leader who displayed in his life and his death the highest personal courage, said that though timid by nature he had developed this quality by stern self-discipline. When he found a job which caused him apprehension or fear he forced himself to face it, and to repeat it again and again until it no longer had any terrors for him. It is that taking oneself firmly in hand that enables a man to stick it out against the impulse of his knees to give in or to run away in a crisis." PLAINFIELD N Plainfield, N.

Give him the same power as the white man to vote for his convtions and he will soon prove that he is as, capable and as energetic an American ‘as many who occupy high places, from which they would ‘be. de arred were the accident of birth to Jeaye them with a black, instead of 3 white sin, Yours for fair play to the American Negro.
