Big Drift to Mayor Mitchel Is Seen Among Colored Voters; Frankness Wins Supporters Mayor Mitchel's frank and engaging talk to a delegation of Negroes at the City Hall on October 13 has won many colored voters to the cause of Fusion-voters who heretofore have expressed no particular preference for any candidate in the big municipal campaign now being waged. This drift to Mitchel is becoming more and more pronounced each day among all classes. Following the City Hall conference why colored internes are not appointed at the Harlem Hospital was: express himself as follows: "I have as Mayor no power to direct the Bellevue Board to appoint anybody on me because he did not try to any place. The Harlem Hospital is soft-soap' us. I liked his talk be under the jurisdiction of the Bellevue M. H. VOL XXXI No. 5 Big Drift to Seen Am Frankne Mayor Mitchel's frank and Negroes at the City Hall on October to the cause of Fusion-voters who ticular preference for any candidate now being waged. This drift to more pronounced each day among Following the City Hall conference a member of the delegation was heard to express himself as follows: "Mayor Mitchel made a favorable impression on me because he did not try to 'soft-soap' us. I liked his talk be- house he did not insult our intelligence by telling us of his great love for the isolated people and making repeated reference to Abraham Lincoln as white politicians usually do when appealing to Negro, support. I intend to vote for the re-election of Mayor Mitchel for three reasons." This appears to be the general sentiment that prevails among the majority of colored voters in all the boroughs. The published accounts of the Mayor's office have brought them to a realization that in order to win just recognition the proper procedure must be followed; that there is a right way and a wrong way in going about reaching a successful conclusion. It is now obvious to them that they pursued the wrong way. Although criticised for not having provided the colored citizens of Harlem with a playground and bath-house, Mayor Mitchel showed the Negroes were responsible for the present conditions more than anyone else. These statements were not refuted. He declared that no petition had ever been brought to him asking for the establishment of a playground or a bath-house; that while the colored people of the section had made up their minds that they wanted these improvements they had not initiated a petition among the property-owners and presented it to the Board'of Estimate, as required by law. As Mayor Mitchel told the delegation when speaking about the establishment of a playground in Harlem: If you will initiate your movement in that section and bring that movement to me, I will be in a position to give you my aid in establishing a playground; while perhaps if you had an omniscient government, a government of supermen who could read the necessities in all parts of the city without being told about them, we might have anticipated that. I might have known about it and been active in an effort to secure you a playground there. But you must remember that we are just human beings and these things must be actively brought to our attention in order to enlist our effort. Organized Movements Get Results. It was also pointed out by Mayor Mitchell that the colored citizens of Harlem were not conducting properly their campaign to secure the appointment of colored internes in the Harlem Hospital. About as far as they have gone to get colored internes is to set up a public clamor. All they have done has been to express a desire, which has not been backed up by any organized movement.

Although the Mayor appoints the members they are irremovable for their term of office—you know what that means. I am in sympathy with you. What I will do about it is to discuss the matter with the members of the Board of Trustees and present the equities of your case to them. Speaking of myself I don't believe any prejudice, racial prejudice, ought to be allowed to stand in the way of such an appointment, if a competent man presents himself for appointment." Colored admirers of Mayor Mitchel have not forgotten the friendly interest the Mayor took in providing Negroes with employment during the early days of 1915, when thousands were out of employment and work was furnished by the Mayor's Unemployment Committee. This committee, in March, 1915, provided the funds to open a workshop at St. Philips' P. E. Church. Representatives of the Urban League say 774 different men were employed rolling bandages and making surgical dressings for hospitals, and the cost of operating the shop amounted to $8,340. Men of all trades and conditions who were experiencing the pangs of hard times took advantage of this opportunity offered by the Mayor to earn fifty cents for a few hours work and their lunch. Until the conference at the City Hall the impression prevailed in some quarters that the Mayor had ignored the protests of white and colored citizens who a few years ago asked him to stop the exhibition of "The Birth of a Nation" film which was being shown at the Liberty Theatre. In response to questioning by the Rev. W. H. Brooks on the subject, Mayor Mitchel replied that while he did not put a ban on the picture he instructed Commissioner of Licenses Bell to immediately see to it that the features objected to most by colored people were eliminated, which was done in spite of protests raised by the producers who declared that they would suffer great financial loss by obeying the order of the Mayor. Commissioner Bell, who was present, substantiated the claims of the Mayor that the objectionable features had been cut out at the instance of the city's chief executive, and the facts set-forth by the Mayor were applauded. Colored voters who are espousing the re-election of Mayor Mitchel are winning many conventions with the argument that if returned as the city's chief executive, the Mayor and Negro citizens will be better acquainted and that the Mayor will not be acquainted with the city. WHOOPING UP THINGS FOR MITCHEL IN HARLEM This week an active and enthusiastic campaign on behalf of Mayor Mitchel's candidacy was begun in Harlem, with members of the gentler sex taking a prominent part. Those advocating the re-election of Mayor Mitchel and all candidates on the Fusion ticket are doing so in a dignified manner. They are not resorting to mud-slinging. Much of the work done in the colored section is being directed from the Mitchel headquarters at 115 W. 130th street, which is in charge of Dr. R. M. Bolden. Over fifty Mitchel workers—men and women—are whooping up things in lively fashion for Mayor Mitchel nightly, and this method of campaigning is having the desired effect. At the 135th street and 145th street subway entrances and at the 130th, 135th and 140th street L stations may be found day and night Mitchel workers who are making votes for Fusion. Good government, the Mayor's praiseworthy stand on female suffrage and other subjects are intelligently discussed by the female workers. According to Criminal Estimate Bath-House in Section 101 Cost $200,000. MAYOR WRITES CONTROLLER Tells Prendorgast Thurville in its Power of Authorization of Trust for the Establishment of a Public bath in Victimity of Loner Alcott, and 180th Street. Mayor Mitchel, Monday, sent to Comptroller Prendorgast, chairman of the Committee on Corporate Stock Budget, a communication announcing himself in favor of the establishment of a public bath in Harlem, to cost $200,000, and suggesting that the committee having he matter under consideration make the proper recommendations to the Board of Estimate an early date. The Mayor's letter to Comptroller Prendorgast follows: October 22, 1917. Hon. William A. Preston,ast Chairman, Committee on Corporate Stock Budget Municipal Building, New York City. Dear Mr. Comptroller. There is now pending before the Committee on Corporate Stock Budget a request to be enlisted in interior public bath to be erased for Harlem in the neighborhood of London Avenue and 135th street. This proposed public building has been endorsed by a number of civic groups, estimate costs for the Borough tax, all of which have been raised at the expense of public funds. The shortfall of $240,000 for land, construction' of building, architect's fees and other incidental expenses. No interior public bath is available for use by the residents of this area in Harlem, the population of which is becoming increasingly congested. The majority of the interior public baths in Manhattan are inaccessible for the residents of this neighborhood. For these reasons, therefore, I am strongly in favor of the authorization of funds sufficient to provide, at the earliest possible moment, an interior public bath in Harlem in the vicinity of Lenox Avenue and 135th street. I trust that the Committee on Corporate Stock Budget may find it feasible to consider this matter at an early date and make recommendations thereon to the Board of Estimate. The news that Mayor Mitchel had urged the Committee on Corporate Stock Budget to recommend to the Board of Estimate that a public bath be established in Harlem caused much rejoicing in that section of the city among those who have been advocating for years the establishment of a public bath. CONCORD MOVES IN NEW CHURCH EDIFICE Sunday will long be remembered by the members and friends of Concord Baptist Church, Brooklyn, on which occasion the congregations new church edifice at Adelphi street, between Myrtle and Walthough avenues, was dedicated and the seventh anniversary of the pastorate of the Rev, William Maurice Moss was celebrated. From 9 o'clock Sunday morning until late in the evening, Concord's new place of worship was filled with members and visitors. There were many present from out of town. Prominent white and colored speakers participated. The program throughout the day was full of interest and inspiration. The dedicatory services will continue throughout the week and next week, closing Friday, November 2. The order of services at Sunday's exercises follows: 9.45 a. m. to 10.15 a. m., Unity Lodge No 28, Knights of Pythias held a brief service in front of the church and turned over to the church as its contribution the cornerstone. 10.30 a. m. to 11 a. m., Opening exercises and Presentations. (Continued on Page 8.) Fire Commissioner Does Not Permit Color Discrimination in His Department. While Newspaper Man in Atlanta He Challenged Nepers' Course in Various Ways—Responsible for Appearance of Boehner T. Washington at Atlanta Exposition. To the average Negro the terms "Southerner" and "race discrimination" are synonymous; but the fallacy of this viewpoint is made apparent in the case of Fire Commissioner Robert Adamson, a native of Georgia, who, during his administration, had laid down the law to his subordinates from the fire chief down, that there is to be no color line in the Fire Department of New York City. It is because of this Southerner's ROBERT ADAMSON Fire Commissioner broad views that the race has a representative in the Fire Department in the person of John Henry Woodson, who is a member of Hook and Ladder Company No. 106. For the first time in the city's history an absolute square deal is given all colored applicants who take the Civil Service examinations to become firemen. The reason there have been no additional appointments recently has been due either to the disinclination of colored men to take the examinations or the inability of the few who have aspirations along those lines to pass the mental and physical tests. In the recent primaries Mr. Adamson received the largest vote of all of Fusion's candidates. He is regarded as one of the strongest candidates in the interest of good government, and has the solid support of Republicans and Independents in his race for President of the Board of Alderman. Commissioner Adamson was seen at his political headquarters at Broadway and Forty-third street by an Age representative, and the race question was incidentally discussed. The commissioner expressed the opinion that the Negro ought not charge all Southerners with unfriendliness any more than all white people should condemn the entire race for acts of indiscretion committed by one Negro. Few colored people know that Mr. Adamson played an important part in bringing Booker T. Washington prominently before the public. When but nineteen years old he was city editor of the Atlanta Constitution and demonstrated his friendship for the Negroes of Atlanta in many ways. He established a Negro column in the Constitution which innovation, in the beginning did not meet with favor among the radals who severely condemned him for introducing the column. When arrangements were being perfected for the holding of the Atlanta Exposition, it was Robert Adamson who argued that the Negro citizen ought to be given proper representation, as a big exposition showing the activities and progress of the South would be incomplete without exhibits by Negroes. It was decided to have a big Negro exhibit and a date was also provided known as "Negro Day." The next question to arise was the selection of a prominent speaker for the occasion. Mr. Adamson and I. Garland Penn finally decided on Booker T. Washington, who was then beginning to attract more than local attention. How Booker T. Washington's suddert leap to fame and how he became national as well as an international figure after his Atlanta speech is well known to millions. His appearance was easily the outstanding feature of the exposition. Since then Messrs. Adamson and Penn have pointed with pride to the good judgment used in picking out Booker T. Washington as the greatest Negro orator. --- Witnesses Corroborate Charges that Soldiers and Police Shot Down Negroes. Testimony Given Before Congressional Investigating Committee Shows That Hast St. Louisiana Acted Like Savages — Newspaper Men Give Valuable Testimony. (Spread to The New York Am.) EAST St. Louis, IL—Sensational testimony, involving the police, members of the State militia and white ruffians, has been given at the hearing of the Congressional Investigation Committee, now being held in the Federal Courtroom here. Members of the Investigating Committee are Representatives Ben Johnson of Kentucky; Foster and Foss of Illinois; Baker of California and Cooper of Wisconsin: Edward Poppeke, a reporter for a St. Louis daily, testified Monday that during the race riofs here on July 2, he saw a mob throw a Negro child into a burning house, after it had escaped from the flames. He further pointed that he saw four or five National Guardmen shoot and kill two Negroes who ran from a burning building. John W. Paton, general manager of the Morris and Company, said he attended the meeting of the Kent St Louis' Chamber of Commerce on an afternoon of July 4 after the late John began his work. The Chamber held an open session, attended by many members, the police officer and the councillor. Representatives behind the committee met and said: "You should be a good man, please be a good man." and Commerce, National City. He said that in his opinion the race riots were caused directly by strike agitators. He recited that one strike leader by the name of Wolf had urged the strikers to drive the Negroes out of town. He stated that the antipathy toward colored people in East St. Louis had been intensified because they were classed as strike-breakers. He admitted that his firm employed Negroes in skilled positions; that they were as efficient as their white fellow workmen, some of whom earned as high as $75 weekly. Mayor Curtis Newspaperman. One of the most fearless and interesting witnesses of the whole proceedings has been Paul Y. Anderson, a reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, who stated in the presence of the Mayor of the city that the Mayor had cursed him and forbidden him to go into the police station because he had written an article exposing police protection in East St. Louis of a notorious gambling den where young men were led astray and robbed. For that reason he could get no assistance from the police early in the riot for Negroes whom he saw beaten up. He described one scene in which at the command of a police sergeant, three policemen and eight soldiers fired into a group of innocent Negro men, killing two, injuring several others and shooting off the arm of a colored woman hystander. Congressman Baker became indigently incensed at this outrage and almost shouted, "Did the soldiers commit murder at the orders of a police sergeant under whom they were not even working? Were the soldiers court martialed?" "No," was the reply. They are witnesses against the policemen. A murmur ran through the court room at the thought. Congressman Cooper observed with emphasis, "Willing to obey orders even if they are given by unauthorized persons, and if to obey them it meant committing murder! And in the uniform of the United States Government!" An effort is being made by the committee to find some person or persons who made an attempt of any kind to suppress the riot or discourage the rioters. At the time of the writing of this dispatch, no one has reported any such incident. Thus far members of the committee have shown a desire to be fair. The Congressmen are baring many facts concerning the attitude of union labor toward Negro workers who had been brought to East St. Louis, the attitude of many employers toward their colored employees and the effect of the roots on interstate commerce. The House resolution creating the committee passed August 3, 1917, requires the committee to investigate and make report as to whether conditions existing in the State of Illinois and the State of Missouri at any time during the year 1917, or in either of said States, obstruct or interfere with interstate commerce or render unsafe to person or property, travel from other States into or out of said States, and particularly as to whether there is or (Continued on page two) W.

J—The Board of Education of Westmont, a suburban town made up mostly of white inhabitants, was defeated in their efforts in trying to keep a colored girl, Thelma E. Adams, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Victor Adams, 329 Haddon avenue, from attending the public school. As colored children have never attended that school, the Board insisted that the child who is only six years of age, attend the colored school of Siddletown or Haddenfield, a distance of a mile and a half, respectively with a dangerous railroad crossing. The child's parents, formerly of Atlantic City, contended that the distance was entirely too far for the colored schools; that they were out of her school district, and that she is a resident of Westmont. The color question was holdly argued by the Board who offered to compromise by providing transportation to either of the colored schools and paying her tuition; but the parents considering the condition of the weather at various times refused to accept their offer. The thema was refused admission twice. On October 15, Mr. Adams took his daughter to school, stating to the principal that this was his final opportunity to accept or reject, and if child was rejected he would immediately institute proceedings to have her admitted. The thema was admitted. TOBIAS ASSAULTED AT POLITICAL MEETING D E. Tobias, who takes an active part in politics and other local movements, is a patient in the Harlem Hospital with several broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder, which injuries were received during an open air political meeting held Saturday evening at the corner of Lenox avenue and 134th street. The injured man charges that he was assaulted by someone who entertains opposite political views, while hystanders assert that he was sent to the hospital for heckling speakers Ralph E. Langston, chairman of the local board for Division No. 140, announces that the following drafted men who reside in Harlem will leave for Camp Union October 30: SCOTT TELLS OF WAR SECRETARY'S PLANS (Special to The New York Am) WASHINGTON, D.C—Emmett J. Scott special assistant to the Secretary of War, made the principal address at a mass meeting held at Dunbar High School Monday evening, October 22, in honor of the newly commissioned officers of the U.S. Army recently graduated from the Officers' Training Camp at Fort Des Moines, and who are home on two weeks furlough. Among other things, Mr. Scott said: "I am here this evening, not only in acceptance of the very kind invitation of your executive committee, but also in obedience to the orders of the Secretary of War, who desires that I represent him upon this occasion of commanding interest and peculiar significance. I hear his personal and official greetings to the members of our race here represented, and his best wishes to the men who are to go forth and batte for their country as militant representatives of a loyal, confident, proud and expectant group of Americans. "The Secretary of War recognizes that if he can have the unqualified support of this group of Americans, he, in our country's defense, will have behind him an asset of appreciable value; on the other hand, he is equally desirous that we, as American citizens, shall have full and free opportunity to participate, as officers, as soldiers, and as loyal and self-sacrifice citizens, in this the greatest war of all the ages, and that now and hereafter we shall receive the rewards which justly follow upon services well rendered. "Under the present plan and policy of the Secretary of War, a full fighting division of 30,000 men of our race will constitute the Seventeenth Division which will be detailed for service in France under General Perishing. They the legions who represent our Allies the legions who represent our Allies. And we may rest assured that they will effectively serve their country and will uphold the honored traditions of the soldiers of our race who have gallantly fought in every war of our Nation's history. "There are in the United States ten million members of our race. We have shown allegiance to no other country other than the United States. We are, in a peculiar and noble sense, the children of a united and invincible Republic. We possess a patriotism which has always risen above wrongs and injustices—manfully and loyally do we serve as soldiers and citizens, knowing that Right and Justice will finally triumph."

The Young Men's Christian Association Orchestra made its first appearance Sunday and received a hearty welcome. The selection by William C. Elkin, accompanied by Fred M. Bryan, both of the Clof Club, was one of the rare treats of the season. The Clof Club is rendering a great service to the association by its co-operation with the management of the "Big Meeting." A growing interest is being manifested by the men each Sunday, and the "Big Meeting" is becoming an established rendezvous. The proper service which is held at the Fifty-third Street Building each Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock was addressed by Edward M. Fentress Sunday. The service was well attended.

Mr Moore suggested a removal to more popular neighborhood, where institution would be in touch with a larger number of our people, where more effective work could be done by the various activities how performed by the women of the association. Mr Moore's advice will be taken into consideration, and the association thanks him for his offer to publish the new notes of the Home. Miss Bertha C.

Aug 30-6t ```markdown ``` WHAT FUSION HAS DONE. In his statement of what the Fusion administration has done for the colored people in general, Mayor Mitchel justly said that what it has for the race in general was that it had endeavored to do for all the people of the city in general. It has not tried to emphasize service for the colored people more than it has for the Irish people, the Jewish people or the German-American or for any other kind of American citizen. It has endeavored to serve all the people of the city. Let us examine the quality of this service as far as the interests of the colored citizens are concerned. In the important department of police, which comes into contact with the daily affairs of every citizen, we find a fair and courteous Commissioner, intent upon curbing the clubbing propensities of a few unruly members of the force and insisting upon equal protection for all classes of citizens. Members of the race have been appointed to places in this department, and a larger number should apply for positions and endeavor to pass the examinations and secure a place on the eligible list. The same thing applies to the fire department, where qualified applicants are assured of fair treatment in the examinations and on the force after appointment. In the department of charities the race is represented by two probation officers, who duly passed the required examination and are performing valuable work under the parole system for the benefit of the unfortunate of the race. In the season of widespread suffering due to the lack of employment, the Mayor showed the same interest in relief work among the colored people as among other classes. The sum of $8,500 was distributed in giving employment to the needy in a work-shop in Harlem, through race organizations. In all lines of activity affecting the race, the administration of Mayor Mitchel must be pronounced the fairest and squarest, as well as the most impartial in the history of Greater New York. All fair-minded people will admit that the general benefits of good government enjoyed under the fusion administration justify its retention in office, especially at such a critical period in the history of the country as the present. Fire Commissioner Robert Adamson has endeared himself to the Negroes of Greater New York by removing the color line in the Fire Department and insisting that all applicants be taken from the Civil Service list, be they white men or colored men. It is easy to find some physical it with a Negro aspirant if the heads of the department so do. This un-American and discriminating policy was stopped when Mr. Adamson became Fire Commissioner, and his motto has been: "A Square Deal for All Men." Mr. Adamson is a candidate for President of the Board of Aldermen, and is the nominee of the Fusion Committee, Republican Party and City Democracy. He is generally regarded as one of the most popular and one of the strongest candidates in the field. The Age feels confident that the colored voters will aid materially in piling up a big majority for one who has been their consistent friend since one who stands at all time on the side of right and justice. The voters should not neglect to help the candidacy of James C. Thomas, Jr., who is running for the office of alderman, and E. A. Johnson, who is making a fight to represent the Harlem District in the Assembly. Both are men of high ideals, and we feel confident that if elected, they will fill their respective positions with credit. Baltimore's new race daily, the Daily Herald, has entered upon the second week of publication, with Andrews as treasurer and general man of the publishers, the Herald Pr Company. The Herald still appears to have difficulty in finding sufficient news to fill its columns, but its advertising appears to be increasing. Manager Andrews is probably finding pioneer work in daily journalism has problems all its own, but it's up to him to solve them. FOR JOHNSON AND THOMAS. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE: I am for Edward A. Johnson, candidate in the 19th Assembly, and James C. Thomas, Jr., candidate in the 26th Aldermanic Districts, because Negro Harlem believes as did the nation in 1776 that taxation without representation is tyranny. I am for Johnson and Thomas because they are the pioneers of the Negro race in this campaign. I am for Johnson and Thomas because their election will eventually make Negro representation in Negro Harlem an assured fact, for all parties will in time realize that their only chance to win in the district is to pit a Negro against a Negro, thereby making it possible for a Negro always to be returned a winner. I am for Johnson and Thomas because their election means that the Negro will take his place by virtue of accomplishment in the council chambers of the city and state and in due time the nation. I am for Johnson and Thomas' election to the Assembly and Aldermanic Chamber, respectively, because they go as missionaries, as pathfinders making the way clear and easier for you, or your boy, or some other Negro man, woman or child to be elected to the State, Assembly, State Senate, Board of Aldermen, House of Representatives or to a judgeship in the Municipal Courts or appointed to a Magistracy. I am for Johnson and Thomas because their election means that when they voice their demands for positions for Negroes to help in the government of their city and state, they will be heeded, because as Vogue, the society magazine, says in a recent issue: "Negroes cannot expect to have anything unless they have the votes," and thank goodness we have got that. I am for Johnson and Thomas because they have pledged themselves to make of this district a community second to none to live in; for the children they shall endeavor to obtain more and better schools and playgrounds, and for the community at large a bath house, municipal market, Negro interes in the hospitals, more Negro policemen and firemen, and other positions where brains and not color counts. It is incumbent upon the Negro voters of all parties to vote as they think best for the other candidates, but for God and race's sake, register their approval of the two Negro candidates, Johnson and Thomas, and elect them on Election Day, November 6, 1917, by an overwhelming majority. Earnestly yours for success. Browne HARRY LAUDER AS AN ORATOR. A well advertized meeting under the auspices of the New Work Council of the Y. M. C. A., packed the Hildreth Sunday to hear Harry Lauder speak on life in the trenches no wonder that the Hippodrome was packed; Mr. Hildreth wonderful drawing card. First, he is a comedian of some time; and the opportunity to hear him make a serious enough to fill this great auditorium. Second, his son of Scotch soldiers who have given their lives in the struggle added a new and tender interest to the occasion. Mr. Lauder spoke, but the speech of the afternoon was a Rev. George Adam, himself a Scotchman. Seldom removed a vast audience to tears and stirred it to will. Did this man. Lauder followed, and realizing that he had been by singing a song. He sang the old popular thirty years ago, "Rocked in the Cradle of the Cradle in a splendid way and gained generous applause on with his talk. Mr. Lauder is a better comedian than orator. He first when he was colloquial. It was then that his remembrance to the lips and a lump up into the throats of him was not very good or convincing when he tried or ordered, he brought the big audience almost to its feet and, in God's name can't we stand solid for all that it is. Mr. Lauder told something of his experiences at the sang for the soldiers. He expressed a great deal against the Germans, and related several instances of a cruelty. "Once he ventured on rather dangerous ground, Iaint! No!" from the audience. This was when he bring in first visits to this country seven or eight years and that the English were a "stench in the nostrils" on people. He explained that this feeling was due to Canada. Then it was that Mr. Lauder said the thing which was this article being written. In driving home the sentence of past misunderstandings and antagonisms, Asitons can now stand together, he shouted: A well advertized meeting under the auspices of the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A., packed the Hippodrome on Sunday to hear Harry Lauder speak on life in the trenches. There is no wonder that the Hippodrome was packed; Mr. Lauder was a wonderful drawing card. First, he is a comedian of international fame; and the opportunity to hear him make a serious speech was enough to fill this great auditorium. Second, his son is among the Scotch soldiers who have given their lives in the struggle; and that added a new and tender interest to the occasion. Mr. Lauder spoke, but the speech of the afternoon was made by a Rev. George Adam, himself a Scotchman. Seldom has a speaker moved a vast audience to tears and stirred it to wild enthusiasm as did this man. Lauder followed, and realizing that he had a hard spot he began by singing a song. He sang the old favorite, quite popular thirty years ago, "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep." This he did in a splendid way and gained generous applause; he then went on with his talk. Mr. Lauder is a better comedian than orator. He was at his best when he was colloquial. It was then that his remarks brought a smile to the lips and a lump up into the throats of his listeners. He was not very good or convincing when he tried oratory. However, he brought the big audience almost to its feet when he dramatically exclaimed, "If the Germans can stand solid for all that is bad, in God's name can't we stand solid for all that is good?" Mr. Lauder told something of his experiences at the front, when he sang for the soldiers. He expressed a great deal of bitterness against the Germans, and related several instances of atrocious barbarity. "Once he ventured on rather dangerous ground, and brought a faint! No!" from the audience. This was when he stated that during in first visits to this country seven or eight years ago, he found that the English were a "stench in the nostrils" of the American people. He explained that this feeling was due to German propaganda. Then it was that Mr. Lauder said the thing which was the cause of this article being written. In driving home the sentiment that in spite of past misunderstandings and antagonisms, Americans and Britons can now stand together, he shouted: "We are all white!" (Pause). "We are all white!" (Pause). Undoubtedly, the speaker expected applause during the house. It did not come. In place, a chill seemed to swirl immense crowd. The speaker then shouted the phrase, but the words found no echo; the great audience threw every stirring sentiment remained silent and unresponsive. After the first, cold blast of the words had used over me, I tried to analyze the psychology of the understand why the audience had not showered down on the quoted "We are all white!" Was it because in the same instant there flashed hands of the men present a picture of black men from a town from North Africa, West Africa and South Africa from the West Indies fighting and dying to save France? Was it because in the same instant there rose in consciousness of the fact that in every war in which it fought it has had to depend in no small degree upon now its black citizens? Was it because there is at bottom a sense of fairness, white American which, in spite of the occasion and theism, made Mr. Lauder's remark sound small, mean and whatever the reason, there is satisfaction in the fact of the speech failed to arouse applause, and fell Undoubtedly, the speaker expected applause during his first cause. It did not come. In place, a chill seemed to sweep over the immense crowd. The speaker then shouted the phrase with greater force, but the words found no echo; the great audience that had risen to every stirring sentiment remained silent and unresponsive. It was curious. After the first, cold blast of the words had struck and passed over me, I tried to analyze the psychology of the crowd and to understand why the audience had not showered down when Lauder shouted "We are all white!" Was it because in the same instant there flashed across the minds of the men present a picture of black men from Indian, black men from North Africa, West Africa and South Africa, black men from the West Indies fighting and dying to save England and France? Was it because in the same instant there rose in their minds the consciousness of the fact that in every war in which this country has fought it has had to depend in no small degree upon those who are now its black citizens? Was it because there is at bottom a sense of fairness in the average white American which, in spite of the occasion and tense enthusiasm, made Mr. Lauder's remark sound small, mean and unfair? Whatever the reason, there is satisfaction in the fact that this portion of the speech failed to arouse applause, and fell in silence. ANOTHER ARTICLE NEEDED The Russian peace program, as drawn up by the committee of the Council of Workmens' and Soldiers' the form of instructions to its representative to the UK, has just been published. It consists of fifteen papers the vexing political and diplomatic questions not in the whole world. The most important points covered are: that all states enter seas and also the Suez and Panama canals be all belligerents renounce war contributions or in form and that contributions levied during the war are commercial treaties be not based on the peace treaty. Countries agree to renounce an economic blockade after the conditions of peace be settled by a peace congress of delegates elected by the people and confirmed by states, and that diplomats must not conclude secret treaties be a gradual disarmament by land and sea, and that of a non-military system. This is the substance of the last five of the fifteen and every deep down to the roots of war. If that much of the program should be adopted, it would mean the longest stench ever taken toward the abolishment of war. The first ten articles are not so broad in their scope, strictly concerned with political and boundary questions, follows: "First—Evacuation by the Germans of Russia and a land, Lithuania and the Lettish provinces. The Russian peace program, as drawn up by the central executive committee of the Council of Workmens' and Soldiers' Delegates in the form of instructions to its representative to the Paris conference has just been published. It consists of fifteen articles and covers the vexing political and diplomatic questions now confronting the whole world. The most important points covered are: that all straits leading to inner seas and also the Suez and Panama canals be neutralized; that all belligerents renounce war contributions or indemnities in any form, and that contributions levied during the war be returned; that commercial treaties be not based on the peace treaty, and that all countries agree to renounce an economic blockade after the war; that the conditions of peace be settled by a peace congress, consisting of delegates elected by the people and confirmd by the parliaments, and that diplomats must not conclude secret treaties; that there be a gradual disarmament by land and sea, and the establishment of a non-military system. This is the substance of the last five of the fifteen articles. They go very deep down to the roots of war. If that much of the Russian program should be adopted, it would mean the longest step the world has ever taken toward the abolishment of war. The first ten articles are not so broad in their scope; they are mostly concerned with political and boundary questions. They are as follows: "First—Evacuation by the Germans of Russia and autonomy of Poland, Lithuania and the Lettish provinces. "Second—Autonomy of Turkish Armenia. "Third—Solution of the Alsace-Lorraine question by the voting being arranged by local civil authorities in val of all the troops of both belligerents. "Fourth—Restoration to Belgium of her ancient fr repensation for her losses from an international fund. "Fifth—Restoration of Serbia and Montenegro with repensation, Serbia to have access to the Adriatic, zegovina to be autonomous. "Sixth—Disputed Balkan districts to receive provisio followed by a plebiscite. "Seventh—Roumania to be restored her old frontier." "Third—Solution of the Alsace-Lorraine question by a plebiscite, the voting being arranged by local civil authorities after the removal of all the troops of both belligerents. "Fourth—Restoration to Belgium of her ancient frontiers and compensation for her losses from an international fund. "Fifth—Restoration of Serbia and Montenegro with similar compensation, Serbia to have access to the Adriatic, Bosnia and Herzegovina to be autonomous. "Sixth—Disputed Balkan districts to receive provisional autonomy, followed by a plebiscite." tion that she grant Dobrudja autonomy and grant equal rights to Jews. When we finished reading the Seventh Article we could not resist proposing that the new Russian Government, which it seems is destined to take the lead among all the governments in humane and enlightened action, add another article to its program to read as follows: That the United States grant equal rights to its citizens of Negro blood. Is it any more unreasonable to have this article included in the program than it is to ask Roumania to give equal rights to the Jews? GOD AND THE WAR.

The President has issued a proclamation setting aside Sunday as a day of prayer throughout the country for the success of the American arms in the war. The proclamation begins as follows: Whereas, the Congress of the United States, by a concurrent resolution adopted on the fourth day of the present month of October, in view of the entrance of our nation into the vast and awful war, which now afflicts the greater part of the world, has requested me to set apart by official proclamation a day upon which our people should be called upon to offer concerted prayer to Almighty God for His divine aid in the successes of our arms. The question of God and his part and participation in this great war is one that vexes and distresses the minds and hearts of a great many people. Also there is something that shocks the moral sense of some people in the act of both sides in a conflict appealing to the same God for the success of their arms. The act seems more logical and more moral under a pagan system where each side appeals to its own distinct gods. Many people will find it difficult to harmonize the act with their conception of God as a loving father of the whole human race. Perhaps the difficulty comes from placing a wrong value on prayer. Is the object of prayer the securing of gifts and favors from God, or is it the strengthening of the individual soul to meet its trials? Not so much has lately been said or written on this question, yet there is no doubt that the Christian church and whole nations are pondering it. A few weeks ago Franklin P. Adams of the New York Tribune published a three-line paragraph in the New Republic which read as follows: Ours is a sincere doubt as to whether the question "What did you do during the Great War?" might not embarrass, among others, God.

To the Editor of The New York Age: Inasmuch as President Wilson has designated next Sunday, October 28, as a day of prayer, asking God to grant success to American arms, permit me to ask through The Age that every Negro Church on that day take advantage of this official prayer movement to make an especial and additional appeal to God for the needs of our race. We need more than the success of American Arms. God in Heaven knows we need and want Democracy more than any one else in America, a Democracy not of the rhetorical type, but one bearing the stamp of practical application, genuine in all its phases. Let our churches pray for it at the same time when all America prays, for fear that our specific needs may perchance be possibly neglected. If therefore we want a prayer well said as touching our condition in America, I feel quite certain we must say it for ourselves. Let us pray on that day and every day for a more tolerant spirit of Justice in America toward our people. Let us pray that the spirit of God may get into the heart of our Great President and open his lips in an expression, the meat of which we can take to ourselves, regarding America's fight for Democracy as touching and affecting the status of the Negro throughout this land. Surely this Nation cannot face God next Sunday with any objection to our added appeal to a specific prayer, even though we are praying to carry the ultimate end of victory a step further! Often I see it stated that the hand of God is in this horrible and hideous war. This I do not doubt. But when I see it stated that America is God's chosen vehicle for carrying right and justice to the world, I begin to wonder if America is not presuming with God and assuming to herself an all too righteous mien. Why America, with her bloody records of burning, lynching, murder, oppression and wanton persecution of her own black citizens? Has God been blind? Has God forgot? If we must approach God—and we must—let us approach Him with clean hands and clean hearts. If we must beg God's mercy—and we must—let us come with mercy in our hearts, being prepared to grant mercy to those who are appealing for it here below. Otherwise the prayers of a people, an individual and a nation become a mockery and an insult to the God of all men! Fellow Negroes, Fellow citizens, let us together pray on this day for the institution of a world Democracy which shall bring Justice and Peace to all men. A. B. JACKSON. Philadelphia, Pa.

There is on valid objection to the Negro training in Southern communities. The only reason for the opposition is in the fact that certain Negro races of the South cannot bear the war on a Negro in the uniform of his country. Especially do these mean spirits object to the presence of Negroes from the North. The inescapable inference that the Northern Negro has been brought up under a system of Christian civilization, the spirit which they fear, he will impart to his Southern breathen—Ruleigh (N. C.)

Independent Car Seats for Women in O Car Seats for Women in Oklahoma. Sitting on the street cars, I experience so much pleasure in the treatment by Negro men of their women on the trains. They allow no colored woman to stand. Woman's suffrage has hurt the cause of Aryan women. The clammy suffrage has created the spirit in white men to be able to exercise their rights even the right of standing in California, where women vote, they stand on the cars, their men giving ears only to women whom they know or white-maid women. Here I see the same rule applied so there is no chance for anyone to say colored men are mitating other men when I say they do not allow their women to stand here on the street cars — Oklahoma City Dispaly. One Party Rule in Texas. Governor Ferguson of Texas, is no more governor. He was impeached by the legislature sitting as high not of acts to be viewed from the standoff of crime, but because his defiance of the law, customs and usages, which he was sworn to uphold and defend whole disqualified him to further perform the governmental functions of the chief executive of the state. The legislature could not have other than what it did, and has maintained (for itself the respect of those who believe that sustaining law and order is virtue. The removal of Mr. Ferguson, politically speaking, is a warning against the "one party system" now in full sway in many states. The public liberties of the people are best subserved where free speech is guaranteed all the people. With free speech established and maintained will come an honest division of public sentiment out of which will grow what we call in a republic, political parties. With two well balanced parties in Texas, Jim Ferguson would never have set himself up to defy the law which he was sworn to execute. If he had done so, the candidate of the party to which he did not belong would have been chosen by the people to succeed him, thereby making impeachment proceedings unnecessary.—Dallas (Tex.), Express ESTABLISHED 20 YEARS MRS.

SALEM LYCEUM Last Thursday night at the regular meeting" of the civic department of Salem Lyceum Secretary R. M. M.租金y of the Brooklyn Y. M. C. A made a finely and impressive discussion on "The Boy Without a Chance." He touched on the prenatal influences, citing a bit of Ibson's "Ghost." He dwelt on the slack performance of duty of the parents toward the child in its early, helpless stage of life, in the forming and shaping of its character. Hastily prepared food, half cooked, caused different forms of indignation, checking proper development of a good rounded out body. The mental condition was also handicapped by slack interest in what the child does at school, thereby giving no incentive. The moral chance is stifled because of home conditions. "Every child," said he, "will learn something at the windows to every human soul, and whatever enters there in its early developing period is lasting." The eyes and the ears are the windows through which every child gets its growth for god or bad. The child is a part of all it sees and hears in the home. Whatever filthy language or action the child sees in its early life is stamping and shaping its character." Prof. Whaley opened the discussion followed by others. More. Stuart presi- dized. Brooklyn.
