The twenty-second annual meeting of the New York Colored Baptist missionary convention, held at the Walker Memorial Baptist Church in East 132nd street, beginning on Thursday, November 1, closed Monday evening with a reception to the pastors and delegates from the fifty-seven churches. The sessions were well attended by the public and a timely interest was manifested in all features of the work. The Rev. G. H. Sims, pastor of the Union Baptist Church, presided in his usual able and witty manner. After the devotional services and the appointment of the various committees Thursday morning, the introductory sermon was preached by the Rev. H. A. Booker, pastor of the St. Paul Baptist Church.

Thomas Fortune has been named assistant director and secretary of the Negro Welfare Bureau of the State of New Jersey, a new department established under the direction of Governor. Edge. The bureau will have headquarters here in the Department of Labor, under whose working operations it will be guided. Isaac H. Nutter of Atlantic City, is the director. Mr Fortune will perform the active work of the bureau of which Dr. P L Hawkins of Atlantic City is the examining physician. The necessity of this bureau was brought about by the present war, the colored people coming from the South to the North to take the places in mills and other places of men who had been either drafted or who volunteered or of what they being members of military organizations. Many of the colored families from the South settled in New Jersey. In fact, the inflow was so great that housing conditions were inadequate and it was to meet this state of affairs that Governor Edge found it necessary to move to relieve the situation and better the conditions of these people, who have been crowded into tenement houses, with many in small and poorly constructed dwellings. It is the purpose of the bureau to look after the Negroes and provide for their general welfare in New Jersey, to gather facts regarding the number coming into the State, obtain good, wholesome and healthy enjoyment and good wages for them, look after the housing of the families and schooling of the children and even the older people in evening schools. The bureau will endeavor to divert as much as possible of this new labor from the South to the farms of the State. This is in accordance with the thought Labor Commissioner Lewis T. Bryant that it is most urgent for the last benefit of the new States, as well as for the State, as there is a great urgent and insistent call from all parts of the State for helpers on the farm. ```markdown ``` (Special to The NEWARK, N.

Two of the children had to leave town were cared for at the local lighting plant, the hour arrived and the party Saturday afternoon. At the plant instituted a search and found the two firemen all packed and ready to accompany Mr. Brantley to Newark. They declared that they were tired making $1.75 a day and were going to New Jersey where they could earn $4 a day. The sheriff was promptly notified that a stranger was inducing Negroes to leave town, and the labor representative was arrested. He was at once released on bond furnished by a colored minister and his case was called for trial Monday. The court informed Mr. Brantley that he had been arrested for violating the law which made it a misdemeanor for a labor agency to take labor outside of the State. He was released with a warning never to come to St Michaels again and entice members of his race from the town. His dismissal was only brought about by the firemen and other members of the party agreeing to return to work. Speaking of the opportunities offered by the Butterworth Judson Corporation, Mr Brantley stated to an Age representative that men of all races are wanted at the plant, and that from $3 a day up can be earned, that there is no lay off, men can work year after year from eight to ten hours a day with pay for extra time. The work, according to Mr Brantley, is easy, the surroundings pleasant and comfortable lodging quarters may be secured on the grounds. There is a store where credit is given employees and a lunch room on the grounds where well cooked food may be purchased at the lowest prices. Those who do not desire to live on the grounds may live in Newark, Jersey City and other nearby towns easy of access by street car. After the war Mr Brantley says work at the Butterworth Judson plant will be just as steady as now.

Woman Suffrage won a big victory in New York State Tuesday. Late figures show that the amendment giving the women of the State the right to vote was carried by a majority of 86,000. Suffrage meeting places throughout the city were thronged with the happy victors early Wednesday morning, although many of the women were tired out after their vigil at the polls as watches from the beginning of the contest until its conclusion.

The Suffrage Amendment carried in Buffalo, Syracuse, Schenectady, Ithaca, and other large cities. Rochester was one of the few cities where Suffrage was defeated. Ten thousand women watched the polls. They were divided into three shifts, one for morning, one for afternoon and one for evening. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt and Mrs. Norman de Whitehouse, leader of the State Suffrage party, started out at 5 o'clock in the morning. The State and city suffrage headquarters had new telegraph and telephone wires put in for the first election returns from city. State and country. Many of the women had coffee in vacuum bottles and sandwiches for the watchers at the polls.

Those voting in favor numbered 192,211 while those who voted against totalled 101,700.

United States Supreme Court Renders Important Decision in Louisville Case MANY OTHER CITIES ARE AFFECTED Court Holds that Passage of Segregation Ordinance Runs Counter to the Limitations of the Federal Constitution (Special to The New York Age.) Washington, D. C.—Segregation was given a black-eye by the United States Supreme Court Monday when the highest tribunal in the land handed down a decision holding that the Louisville segregation ordinance, designed to keep the Negro citizens in restricted districts, was invalid and in direct violation of the Constitution of the United States. The decision is farreaching and renders inoperative the obnoxious segregation ordinances passed in Baltimore, St. Louis, Richmond and other cities. As has been contended all along by noted lawyers, an attempt to compel citizens of a United States to live in proscribed districts is unconstitutional. Washington, D. G.—Segregation was given a black-eye by the United States Supreme Court Monday when the highest tribunal in the land handed down a decision holding that the Louisville segregation ordinance, designed to keep the Negro citizens in restricted districts, was invalid and in direct violation of the Constitution of the United States. The decision is farreaching and renders inoperative the obnoxious segregation ordinances passed in Baltimore, St. Louis, Richmond and other cities. As has been contended all along by noted lawyers, an attempt to compel citizens of a United States to live in proscribed districts is unconstitutional. The decision of the United States Supreme Court is a most important one to the Negroes of the United States, and they have won the greatest legal victory since the adverse ruling of the Supreme Court some years ago in the Grandfather Clause case. The opinion was rendered by Justice Day, all the Justices of the United States Supreme Court concurring. There is great rejoicing among the race throughout the country over the decision. is powerless to control and to which it must give a measure of consideration, may be freely admitted. But its solution cannot be promoted by depriving citizens of their constitutional rights and privileges. The right which the ordinance annulled was the civil right of a white man to dispose of his property if he be hit to do so to a person of color and of a colored person to make such disposition to a white person. "We think this attempt to present the alienation of the property in question to a person of color was not a legitimate exercise of the po- It is reported that white and colored citizens, particularly in Baltimore, who suffered financially because of the passage of the ordinance, threaten to bring suit against the local authorities. The Louisville ordinance, which became effective May 11, 1914, was passed, according to the lawmakers of that city, to "prevent conflict and ill-feeling between the white and colored races in the city of Louisville, and to preserve the public peace and promote the general welfare by making reasonable provisions requiring, as far as practicable, the use of separate blocks for residence, places of abode, and places of assembly by white and colored, respectively." The colored citizens who fought the measure contended that the ordinance would compel members of the race to live in quarters where they would be thrown into close touch with and subject to contamination by disagreeable and worthless neighbors, and that the measure prevented them from moving into desirable and healthy neighborhoods, confining them to unhealthy and crowded localities. Justice Day in his opinion said in part: "The authority of the State to pass laws in the exercise of the police power, having for their object the promotion of the public health, safety and welfare, is very broad and has been affirmed in numerous and recent decisions of this court. But it is equally well established that the police power, broad as it is, cannot justify the passage of a law or ordinance which runs counter to the limitations of the Federal Constitution.

But its solution cannot be promoted by depriving citizens of their constitutional rights and privileges. The right which the ordinance annulled was the civil right of a white man to dispose of his property if he be fit to do so to a person of color of a colored person to make such disposition to a white person. "We think this attempt to present the alienation of the property in question to a person of color was not a legitimate exercise of the police power of the State, and is in direct violation of the Constitution." The New York World, under the caption, "Negro Quarters and Negro Rights," comments on the decision as follows: "In nearly every case where Southern and Western municipalities have undertaken by ordinance to separate the habitations of whites and blacks there has been a pretense of subjecting both races to restrictions in the matter of owning, occupying or transferring real estate in certain districts. This was done by clever lawyers who wanted it to appear that the regulation was not discriminating; but it was well known that the purpose was to continue the Negro to certain quarters and to deny him the right to acquire or use a residence elsewhere. "It must have been easy, therefore, for the Supreme Court of the United States, in deciding one of these cases, to hold unanimously that, as the police power had been exercised in this instance in violation of property rights guaranteed by the Constitution to whites as well as blacks, it was in conflict with the Fourteenth Amendment, which speaks of life, liberty and property. "Yet the same court has decided over and over again that States and municipalities may separate whites from blacks in railroad stations and trains, street cars, schools and cemeteries, and the same Fourteenth Amendment is just as insistent upon 'the equal protection of the law' as it is upon any property right whatsoever." Moorfield Storey, the eminent Boston lawyer, who is National President of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, took an active part in fighting the segregation ordinances, making the principal arguments against the constitutionality of the abnoxious measure.

C. Thomas, Jr., has been elected Alderman and E. A. Johnson Assemblyman in Har- Jem. Never before has the race been represented in the legislative bodies of owe State and city. In these revolutionary times the Negre is making advaicement in political as well as in civil life and the election of Messrs. Thomas and Johnson indicates that the Negro is slowly, but surely, Coming into his own. SEGREGATION ANNULLED. ¢. The importance of the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States holding that the Louisville, Ky., segregation ordinance is in di- rect vielation of the Constitution, cannot be overestimated. It is the most vital question affecting the rights of the Negro race to “life, “liberty and the, pursuit of happi- ness” since the Ollahoma suffrage case in which the infamous “Grand- father law” was annulled. It is of far more wide reaching effect than the former decision, in that the “Grandfather law” was but a feeble subterfuge, of local adaptation, and limited extent. The segregation movement was of wider scope, and if its validity had been established, there was‘no limit to the evils fol- dowing its propagation. In the opinion rendered by Jus- tice Day, a curb is put upon the police power of the State, so often invoked for the purpose of commit- ting injustice and perpetuating wrong under the sanctity of the law. This power, broad as it is, says the Court, cannot justify the passage of a law or ordinance which runs counter to the limita- tions of the Federal Constitution. It is most gratifying to find the limits of the Constitution defined in this way. Hitherto these limits have been defined in sch a way as allow the power of the State full sway in controlling the lives and property of its citizens. . The Court further lays down the broad proposition that the solution of the problem of race relationship cannot.be promoted by depriving citizens bf their constitutional rights and privileges, This proposition is broad enough to confirm the Negro in all’ of the rights and privileges of which the race has been deprived under the form of law, if carried out to its logical sequence. But it is qualified in the present decision, to apply to the civil rights of a white man to dispose of his prop- etty to a person of color and of a coloreil person to make such dis- position to a white person, Prop- erty is the basis upon which this sagt Meeting decision is rendered, But the right to hold and dispose of property, #0” enjoy its undisturbed possession, is one of the inherent rights of citizen- ship, and it is no mean step gained to have this right confirmed by the highest authority in the land, ‘Tht Negro has always had faith in the Constitution, and though this faith has been sorely tried at times when the Constitution has been in- yoked vainly in his favor, he still continued to put hus faith in it. This decision will renew that faith, It proves that the instrument de- vised by the Fathers of the Repub- lic has not yet become “a serap of paper,” but can still exert a vital living influence for the mainte: nance of right and the annullmen: of wrong. What is needed ig the right +, in- terpretation and rigid enforcemen of the Constitution. The Supreme Court, as at present constituted seems inclined to give that inter pretation and @xlorcement. The decision of the Suprem: Court is a great victory for the Ne | pro and for democracy. EDUCATIONAL DEVELOP. MENT. ‘Tne Ace this week devotes sev- eral columns to a review of the work being done in the educational field, as set forth in the brief ac- counts of the opening of the vari- ous institutions of the race in all parts of the country. On the whole these reports show gratifying prog- ress in work of training the youth of the race for future usefulness. Besides the record of the prog- ress of the better known institu- tions, some interesting features are presented in the special phases of training demanded by local condi- tions in certain communities. For ‘instance, in certain States and coun- ties where it is difficult to secure teachers for the rural schools, train- ing schools are provided to meet this emergency. In farming dis- tricts, special emphasis is given to agricultural training. Even a cor- respondence course is offereif’ by one institution for the benefit of ministers and others engaged in ac- tive work, who feel the need of further training in special branches. The effects ofthe world’s war have been felt to some degree in nearly all of our higher institutions and they have‘all contributed their quota to the service of the country. Some of the changes involved in special departments by the great struggle are indicated in special ar- ticles, which will be of interest to all those engaged inthe work of in- struction. © The general review is full of interest and encouragement for all those interested in the fullest de- velopment of the race along all lines of activity and usefulness. The Age proposes to make this re- view of the progress of our educa- tional institutions a special feature, to appear about once in each month. THE AFRICAN NATIVE PRESS From the native newspapers of South and West Africa, which reach this country after an interval of two or three months, some in- sight may be obtained into the con- ditions prevailing among that por- tion of the race, that has remained in its native habitat. From the Native Opinion of South Africa, published at King Williamstown, we learn of the prog- ress of the Native Affairs Adminis- tration bill, which is designed ‘to restrict the occupation by the na- tives, the original owners of the soil, to certain restricted areas.

There are certain discriminations that colored people in Southern cities sever actually feel. They are for the most part indifferent to, even unconscious of the discrimination in churches, schools, hotels and restaurants; because they prefer their own churches, they are more. lor less provided with their own schools, and they live and eat in their homes. A great many of them are not bothered about the diserim-| ination in theatres; because they have many ways of providing amusement for themselves and besides nobody is compelled to attend theatres. | But all of these people are at some time compelled to travel on. the railroad ; and here they are obliged not only to undergo the humil-. iation of being herded apart in a car that is generally dirty and inade- quate, but are subjected to the injustice of having first class fare extorted from them for these inferior accommodations. The unciv- ilized treatment and the high-handed robbery involved in the “Jim Crow” car system are so obvious that they call from the Times- Bicayune the following statement: “Jim Crow” cars have been utterly unfit in:many instances, and have been growing worse in some Against this abuse there have been many just complaints on the part of the better class of Negroes, and those whites who have seen these cars will generally agree with them, The demoralizing influence of this inequality and injustice should be appre- ciated by all. It has naturally created ill feeling among the Negroes who travel by rail. We are trying to teach the Negroes respect for sanitation and cleanliness, and we cannot allow them to be taught at the same time the very opposite by the foul and unclean cars so often furnished them, lacking in the most primitive provisions for decency and cleanliness. Attempts have been made to justify the “Jim Crow” car by ask- ing: “What is the use of giving the traveling Negro public better cars, when they treat the ones they've got so badly?” That is put- ting the whole question backwards, Filthy cars encourage filthiness. Clean cars would stimulate cleanliness. You can't put a man in a pigsty to live and expect him to make an effort to be neat and clean. Another attempt often made to cloud this issue is the question: “Why do the better class of colored people want to get away from their own race?” There are three reasons why respectable, intelli- gent colored people object to the “Jim Crow” car, and neither of these reasons is the one implied in the above question. They object to the filth and inconvenience, to the news butcher occupying two seats and the conductor occupying two more seats with their baskets and boxes in the crowded little caboose, to white men using the car asa smoker and a place in which tu drink -whiskey and swear; second, they object to being compelled to pay first class fare for such accom- modations; third, and most important, they object to the humiliation of being thus publicly branded as something vile. The mere thought lof wanting to ride with white people does not enter into considera- tion. For as much as it may astonish some white people, it is never- theless true, respectable, intelligent colored people would derive no more pleasure from riding with dirty white people than with dirty Negroes, probably less. So long as the law upholds the undemocratic and iniquitous “Jim Crow” car. the accommodations should be made absolutely equal. | PURE AMERICANS. A correspondent in the New York Sun is very much worked up over the proposition of calling out for military training the boys of 18, 19 and 20 years of age. He advances the argument that boys who have not reached the age which gives them say or voice in the Go- ernment should not be forced to do the fighting for their elders; and that no young man under 21 years should be compelled to enter training or active combat at this stage of the conflict. He goes on to speak of the difficulty of transporting and the expense of maintaining any larger force than the Government already has in course of organization, and then says: _— “Let us insist upon arrangements being made to force into the service the subjects of the Allies who are waxing fat in this country —they would be compelled to serve if at home; and a more proper sroportion of the Negro race should be obliged to do service before we think of sacrificing the lives of too many pure American born boys.” This correspondent may be talking sense in the case of the sub- jects of the Allies who are “waxing fat in this country,” but he makes liament and not for a Minister. The Native Affairs Department has a duty to the Natives in this regard. A brighter side of the situation is presented in the announcement that a sum of 250 pounds (about $1,200), has heen received by the authorities of the South African Native College from the West Pon- doland District Council as a dena- tion. The Council had previously sted 250 pounds for schilarships for Pondoland pupils. The Native Diocesan Conference of St. John's is also considering a scheme to pro- vide a church hostel and one or more scholarships in connection with the college. Christianity is discussed in broad terms by the Sierra feone Weekly News, to the following conclusion: There are pron'e who talk disparag-, ingly of Christiansty in these days, Same call st an exninded relivion: ‘others sheak of i in teems of tiselessness, Dut the truth is christ'anity has not been ried as a remedy for the world’s woes. It has power inexhaustible, but it is power which only operates in harmony ae human wills that are given up, to tt, So the Negro. We believe that the Negro has very high capabilities, but ‘the capabilities have got to be drawn out. Give him scope. Give him time, Give him encouragement. Salaries of the native clergy. “who are passing rich on 40 pounds ($200) a year,” are considered by the Nigerian Pioneer, which says: These men grumble in an unmistak- ab le manner at the miserable pittance of a salary they receive in the face of hard work, involving the raising of large sums of money yearly in most of the parishes and the rise in the where- withal to keep life and soul together, Tt is no use mincing matters: clergymen are bad hands at-finance. The finance of the Church, the mode of raising, and the manner of disbursement require relegating to the hands of a layman who knows his business. The African native press pre- sents an interesting exposition of the trials and tribulations, as well, as the effurts to overcome them, that are the portion of the aspiring Negro the world over, Never- less there is progress to be noted, mental, moral and material. a noise like an idiot when'he talks of pure Americans in distinction to Negroes. There are many Negroes who have been a part of American soil and history for nearljpthree hundred years; the great bulk of them have been a part of American soil and history for more than a huridred years. The Negroes in-this country are more truly American than two-thirds of the white population, When this war broke out the nation was stunned to find itself split asunder by a number of hyphens; but the Negro stood together with the original stocks that landed at Plymouth and Jamestown as u part of the soil, the history, the traditions, the customs, the lan- guage, the religion of this country, and no other, . . If this corre meant to say white Americans instead of pure Americans, well, that is a different story. a _ If this sorrenpaudet meant to say white Americans instead of pure Americans, well, that is a different story. * . EXPERIENCED MEN WANTED. An Age reader at Jacksonville, Florida, sends us a circular which is being distributed in connection with the army recruiting stations at Jacksonville, Tampa, Miami, Pensacola and Tallahassee, and which reads as follows: : “NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS WANTED WHITE MEN ; Married or Single : EXPERIENCED IN THE HANDLING OF COLORED MEN For Enlistment ‘as Non-Commissioned Officers in the Service, Battalions, Engineer Corps NATIONAL ARMY.” Experienced in the handling of colored men.” That is about the most conspicuous example of grouping the Negro with the mule that has ever been brought to my attention. But aside from that, what hind of white non-commissioned officers does the War Department think it will get by! allowing recruiting stations to advertise in the South for white men “experienced in handling colored men?” Does the War Department have any idea of what it means in the South to have experience in handling Negroes? It generally means to have the qualifications of a slave driver, of a chain-gang guard, of an overseer of the roughest kind of labor. It means to be devoid of sympathetic understanding and human kindness. Of course, if it is absolutely necessary to have white non-commissioned officers over colored troops, the Department can find lots of white men in the South who would make intelligent and sympathetic officers; but it will.not find these men by advertising thefe for white men who are “experienced in handling Negroes.” The War Department has adopted a policy of training Southern troops in the North and Northern troops in the South. In line with this policy, 1 would suggest, since the Department seems to deem it necessary that colored troops be commanded by white officers, that all white officers for colored troops be Northern men. It is true that the sort of Southern white man the Department would get by the above advertisement would have more “experience,” but it would be experience of the wrong kind, it would be experience that would render him incapable of looking upon the men of his command as comrades in arms. . It is true that some of the finest and truest officers that the col- ored regiments of the regular army have are white men of Southern birth; but these men are entirely devoid of any “exprience in hand- ling Negroes” jo the Southern sense. They went to West Point in their teens. / Direct from West Point they went into the army and there have come to know the glorious traditions of the four crack colored regiments $f the service, and to respect them and the men who made them. There is no plane of comparison between these officers and men taken out of civil life in the South and given com- mand because of their “experience in handling Negroes.” Getting down to common sense and plain justice, since colored men must be in strictly colored regiments, all non-commissioned offiy cers of these regiments should be colored men; more, all line office of those regiments should be colored men; and there is no good », son why, ultimately, all the field officers of those regiments shofif™ not be colored. . But if it is decreed that white men must officer colored regi- ments, then at least let them be Northern white men who have had 1o “experience.” A SOUTHERN VIEW. Sometimes, when there is nothing better to do, I take a sort of pleasure in putting before Age readers examples of “Southern views on the Negro.” Here is one from the letter of a rather aggrieved Southern’ correspondent to The Globe. He should have sent it to “Puck” or “Judge,” or some other one, of the humorous publications. This correspondent is writing “to call attention to the false note” nan editorial in The Globe which said that the whole country has taken the stupid, cruel and supercilious attitude of the South toward the Negro. Now a sentiment like this of The Globe has the effect of making some Southern correspondents mad and others grieved. This particular correspondent was of the latter class, and went on to state his feelings as follows: To go back to the days of slavery, history and unimpeachable data show that practically the only cruelty displayed toward the Negro was by the northerner, who came to the South generally as an overseer to get as much out of that part of the country as possible in the shortest space of time. The southerners have always realized that the Negro had to be taken care of, nursed, and treated in much the same way that an undeveloped child would be. Of course we all admit that there are among the Ne- groes some really brilliant minds, but even these are not working on the problem from the correct angle. No one to date but the southerner has ever attempted to teach the Negro self-respect and to respect: con- stituted authority, [ask that whoever wrote this editorial go to several towns Gr cities in the South and gain knowledge at first hand of the older generation of Negroes who were brought up by the white people as was the general custom a generation ago. As for myself, I have a great deal more respect for the logical reasoning, at least, of the sort of Southerner who gets mad and comes out plainly and says “we've just got to keep these people down” than I have for the namby-pamby, milk and water, absurd rot such as the above.

GOD AND THE PRAYERS, Soe a a oe In last, week's New York Age James W. Johnson, the able contribut- ing editor of this Negro weekly aews- paper, comes back to the subject of God “and war. President Wilson's: proclamation of a day for “concerted prayer to Almighty God for His dir vine aid in the successes of our arms” brought the matter up. Mr. Johnsoa says that the minds and hearts of great many people are vexed and dis- tressed by the question of “God and His part and participation in this great war.” He then makes tho acute observa- tion that “perhaps the difficulty comes from placing a wrong value on prey er.” He asks: “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?” Ths double question goes very deeply into this matter, . The man who consciously gees in Prayer to what he believes to be the foundation and sum of wisdom and justice and purity, although nothing comes of it that he can see, never theless docs bring himself more ite accofd with these great attributes than he would be if this longing for infallible help did not arise in him, He is daing his best to get as neat to the right as God gives him Yo see the right, as he can, and this 1s the absolute ‘bent that ‘we short-mghted and erring mortals can do.

Vreeland, who said in part: The young man with a face that seems to have grown florid from blowing his cornet to the point of apoplexy looks around at his handful of fellow players commandingly and begins thumping earnestly with his fashionably shod-foot and instantly the whole pack is in full cry. The musical riot that breaks forth from clarinet, trombone, cornet, piano, drum and variants of tin pan instruments resembles nothing so much as a chorus of hunting hounds on the scent with an occasional explosion in the subway thrown in for good measure. "It is all done in correct time—there is no fault to be found with the rhythm of it. Even though the cornetist is constantly throwing in flourishes of his own and every once in a while the trombonist gets excited about something and takes it out on the instrument; their tapping feet never miss step. 'The notes may blat and collide with a jar, but their pulses blend perfectly. In fact, they frequently inject beats of their own between the main thumps just to make it harder for themselves, yet they are always on time to the dot when the moment arrives for the emphatic crash of notes. "But it takes a good deal of straining of one's aesthetic sense to apply the word music to the resultant concussion, even as the moderns understand music after years of tympanic education by Strauss and the more flamboyant school of Russian composers. The performers have no score before them, indeed all of them are playing by ear, so their art isn't tied down to any mere earthly notes, and they go soaring. Consequently the melody that they are ostensibly playing dies an untimely death from drowning. "Occasionally the cornetist makes valiant efforts to resuscitate it, but he is only one against several, all of them determined, so after a mad spurt he gives up and goes careering off on a wind spuer of his own. The clarinet wheedles and whines, the trombone chokes and gargles, the violins snicker and shriek the piano vibrates like a torpedo boat destroyer at high speed in an endeavor to make itself heard above the turntit, and the drum, belabored by a drummer who is surrounded by all the most up to date accessories and implements of torture, becomes the heavy artillery of the piece and makes the performance a devastating barrage. "On the dancing floor of the restaurant the couples gyrate with every sign of satisfaction, though there is no evidence that they have cotton in their ears. They smile happily as they dip and sway, holding each other after the most approved jujitsu principles. Fox trots and one steps are the dances they are supposed to be executing, but fired by the liberties that the players take with the old masters of ragtime the dancers improvise squirmings and shruggings of their own that are not in the original one step text books. Some of them seem to progress backward simply by a method of wriggling the ankles "Now the clarinet is yelping like a dog that hasn't fletcherized a bone sufficiently. This inspires the cornetist to tremzy and he hangs a tin box on the end of the horn. The ensuing noise is something like the buzing rattle of a machine gun, only not so musical. "Not to be outdone, the trombonist inserts the end of the mute instrument into a large tin can, producing similar saw-mill sounds. The violinists saw away in a paroxysm, throwing their bows in the air and catching them, the pianist beats the baby grand into insensitivity; the drummervents his spleen on the cymbals, throws his sticks into the air, and celebrates his feat of catching them on the wing by welting the kettle drum and the bass drum simultaneously, and the selection expires in a grand final cataclysm. "Such, for the edification of those who have not already made the personal acquaintance of this phenomenon, is a word picture of jazz, done with considerable restraint. In some bands, such as the Negro Orchestras, the jazz experts may wreck their instruments in a different way. The violinists may arise and linger as they play; the drummer may keep time by waving his feet in the air and the horn blowers may point their harmony into a little brown jug rather than a tin growler. But the essential features will fit any organization that turns loose a concatenation of sounds cooked by this latest musical craze that has struck a section of New York—and struck it giddy. "The first dam beginnings of jazz are shrouded in sum obscurity, like more vital matters connected with the advancement of the human face. This mixture of acrobatics and cascophony seems first to have taken definite recognized form in this country among the Negroes in the South, just as did ragtime, which incited the colored folk to develop this latest form of rhythmic mania. Lafcadio Llarn, in his creole dictionary, traces the derivation of the word itself back to the Gold Coast of Africa, and most of the tonal scientists along the Great White Way were of the opinion that jazz was something for which the slave traders might be held responsible. "No less an observer than Lillian Russell advanced the suggestion that Spanish strains brought to this country by way of Cuba, Haiti and Mexico might have influenced the dusky contortionsists who first began to weave about in the creative joy of this new form of syncopation. The first hint that there was a variety of chaotic chords which even the indefatigable ragtime composers hadn't tinkered with came to this country several years ago by way of Cuba and the phonograph. "Mr. Ziegfeld had one of the Cuban Negro shock units caught in its native state of musical wildness, hired a talking machine company to train one of its reproducing instruments on it, and when the 'Midnight Frolic' opened the Dolly Sisters tripped about to music that had the needle in it, since it came from a phonograph record. But no one in this city then seemed to take to the tomtom style of melodic art, and it never got beyond the wax disk stage. "But it had already drifted from the Antilles to New Orleans and authorities are practically one in the view that this concord of swift sounds began its infant caterwaulings in this country at the Louisiana city. Inundating the South like a bad break in the Mississippi levee, it was soon rampant in the underworld resorts and gradually worked its way up the river to Chicago, where most persons like their music raw. "From Chicago it jumped to New York with no intermediate stops and The honor of bringing it here first is generally accorded to the Dixieland Jazz Band. And since their story and methods are typical of all such typhoons from the South, it might not be amiss to detail here a few of the more sensational facts about them." ```markdown ``` "RICH MAN, POOR MAN" LAFAYETTE'S NEXT SHOW "Rich Man, Poor Man," the latest of the popular, interesting and most successful of the Cinderella idea plays will be seen next week at the Lafayette. This particular play started out with the odds in its favor because of the popularity of the story on which it was founded, a serial of the same name by Maximilian Foster, published in the Saturday Evening Post, and from this story Mr Broadhurst has made an absorbingly interesting romance that will be offered to local theatregoers. The story is that of a girl living in a New York boarding house who was left there years before when her mother died. The kind-hearted landlady, an unusual character in the modern play when it seems the rule to hold up to scorn and ridicule the boarding house mistress and an old boarder, whose love for the poor orphaned girl takes the form of eagerness to do things for Bab almost despair of being able to life her to the high station their loves makes them feel she deserves. An advertisement, inserted in one of the morning papers by the Brestos, a wealthy family asking for information about a grand daughter who had been missing for years furnishes. Made on the old boarder, the cue and the prompt takes a desperate use and forges papers, all unknown to the girl, identifying her as the musing heiress. The result is that Bab is gratefully accepted in the millionaire's home as the long lost grand child with fond grand parents to supply the missing luxuries so sadly lacking in her early life. However there are those in the leiceston mansion who resent the idea of mother sharing the family millions and it is not long before they discover the forgery, but not until a contest develops as to whether the rich man's son or the poor bank clerk who learned to love Bah in her less fortunate days shall win the heart and hand of the little Cinderella girl. With the accusation of forcery proven against Mapleson, Bah is forced to choose the man she does not love in order to save from prison the old man whose crime was committed in her interest, but in the end the story brings the lasting kind of happiness in all concerned, just how, perhaps it would be unfair to ask, further than that lovers of clean, wholesome romance will find in "Rich Man, Poor Man" just the kind of entertainment they like best.

UNION DEFEATS HAMPTON, 3 TO 0 For the first time in the history of the two schools, Virginia Union Sem- bury defeated Hammond Institute at football in Illinois on No entry by the score of 1 to 0. The day was an ideal one and a la carte of people gathered at Hoyne Park to witeness the game. Although a hard-fought game it was clean throughout. The Union eleven under Captain Purry played a great game, and the fast and aggressive work of Gretzory and Hurles in the back- field did much to win the game for them. The Hampton machine has been broken by the draft. The Hampry had a practically new wagon with which to face the experience Unorites. All though Hampton lost the game was very creditable from the Hampry point of view and her team showed the Hampton spirit and it was well as in victory. The playing of Rimes and Owl in the backfield was ex- tensively good as was Pattie Pryton and Brooks on the line.

NASHVILLE, TENN.-Anderson An- tonormal Hall, a handsome new building and a credit to any institution of learn- ing, was dedicated here this week with Bishop Thomas Nicholson of Chicago as the principal speaker. Many distin- gushed men of both races participated on the dedicatory program which was witnessed by several thousand represen- tative citizens of Nashville. The splendid new structure is the gift outside of Dr. James W. Anderson and wife of Dallas, Texas, who contribu- ted $1,000 in cash to Mighray Medi- cal services for its erection. P. current speakers, including bishops, college presidents, philanthropists and others, paid high tribute to the donors of the new building, also to the president and builder of Meharry, the venerable Dr. George W. Hubbard. The gift of Dr. Anderson was said to be quite significant by such educational leaders as Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones of the Department of Education, who was present, in that it shows that the New York developing the spirit of self-help and an appreciation of the self-sacrifice of others have made toward his pupil. Dr. Anderson graduated from Meharry nearly thirty years ago and has had great success as a professional practitioner. He was connected with Meharry several years as professor of anatomy. His success financially has also been marked and he has acquired a substantial fortune. NORTH CAROLINA Greensboro, N. C — The biennial report of the state superintendent of public instruction contains this paragraph: "The State Teachers' Association (N.C.) last year decided to organize what is known as a rural extension department in the purpose of what it is: a special work among the rural schoolchildren in North Carolina. This association employed a well-managed staff of C. H. Moore for research and the work was conducted on the site and to raise a labor force in creating a more wholesome school sentiment and to help as far as possible, to create a cooperative spirit between the white school officials and N.C. to so shoot. It's work has been very successful. He listed many work, and I feel sure has helped to promote the general work. By request of his employers plans for his work and lineages are made in my office." Commenting on above, the Daily News, said: "Greenshore citizens of both races will be pleased at this official commendation of the work of one of the city's leading residents. Prof Moore has as delicate a task as can well be imma- tured when he limits to adjust misunder- standings between Negro school and white school officials, without having himself any official status other than the recommendation of the state super- intendent. Both sides are liable to light on him as the goat, and either can make things very unpleasant. It speaks well for his tact, but widened that anybody has ever lodged a serious complaint against his work; while on the other hand, by acting as a go-between he has time and again been able to straighten out local tangle- that had baffled both whites and Negroes." MORGAN COLLEGE WILL HOLD SEMI-CENTENNIAL Baltimore, Md.—The fifthth anniversary of Morgan College will be celebrated by appropriate exercises Nov. 16-28. The college has recently acquired a beautiful new site on a tract of nearly seventy acres in the suburbs of the city.

D., formerly teacher in Talladoga College and Wiley University. NORTH CAROLINA COLLEGE. Glennstoro, N. C. - That the A. & T. College stands as it does, one of the leading three of its kind, nationally by the United States Commission of Education, is no small degree of pleasure to President Dudley and his energetic co-workers. This school carries the largest enrollment of male students of any school in No Carolina. The A. & T. College has a tremendous stress in teaching its students how to do things. The agriculture students recently harvested 40 tons of peas, made 150 gallons of kraut and canned 5,300 cans of tomatoes, fruits and beans. Fifty killing bugs, weighing between 100 and 250 pounds, and an estimated crop of 700 bushels of corn and 60 tons of enslaughter are also to be found on the farm. In addition to supplying the dining hall last year, the farm sold other products to the amount of $1,577.45. Supt. A. L. Mebane said that "this year's record would surpass all previous ones." The dairy division has an official score of 99.3, the highest ever made by any dairy selling milk on the Greenboro market. During the past year $5,803.35 worth of sweet milk was sold by the students under the superintendency of Prof. B. W. Barnen. More than 100 students are in the agricultural department. The demand for the A. & T. graduate is far greater than the output. The college has a most efficient and energetic corps of teachers. VIRGINIA UNION UNIVERSITY. Dr. G. M. P. King, for thirty years president of Wayland Seminary and since 1899 professor in Virginia Union University, died October 8, at Cambria, Va., whither he had gone to take part in the fifteenth anniversary exercises of the Memorial Baptist Church, pastored by the Rev.

LINCOLN INSTITUTE KENTUCKY. Lincolnidge, Ky.-This normal and industrial school began its sixth year of work on October 3. A number of the Institute's graduates have been drafted or have entered into the officers' reserve corps and several of the under graduate students have been drafted, and will be missed from the student body this year.

The desire is to improve their earning capacity by increasing the value of their service. VOORHEES INSTITUTE Denmark, S. C.—Despits the war and the migration northward. Voorhees normal and industrial school opened October 1 with one of the largest enrollments of officers, teachers and students in the history of the institution. Voorhees was founded by Miss Elizabeth Wright in the year 1897, and is one of the most progressive institutions of its kind in the far South for the three-fold training of young men and young women. In both the industrial and academic departments, the school has well trained teachers, who are the products of some of the best institutions in the country. The school has as its head, Prof. Joseph O. Thomas, a young man of sterling worth and progressive educational ideas. Principal Thomas is a man of great executive ability and he is daily putting his modern ideas into practice. Voorhees is an educational and industrial center—a community in itself—and the same work that is being done at Tuskegee in Alabama and Hampton in Virginia, is being carried on at Voorhees in South Carolina. TUSKEE INSTITUTE Tuskegee, Ala.—The fifth week of the thirty-sixth annual session of the Tuskegee normal and industrial institute, which opened September 17, shows an enrollment of 1,200,672 boys, women and 530 girls.

Ioer, who is assisted by some two hundred experienced teachers and structurers J. H. Palmer, registrar, stated that the enrollment of the young women has continued and maintains a steady balance, while the逗�逗佣 and economic conditions in the North have temporarily decreased to the level of the boys. Still the ranks of the逗�逗佣 are filthy, up almost daily. Major J. B. Ramsey, commissioned stated that it is impossible to give the逗�逗佣 of young men drafted for service in the army, but quite a few of them have been called and there are sixty-seven Tuskegee graduates, former students and former inmates in camp at Tuskegee.

Albion L. Holsey of the principal's office is acting secretary in the place of Emmett J. Scott, who has been called to Washington. FOR HISTORY TEACHERS. How the lessons of the great war may be taught in the school room is told in Teachers' Leaflet No. 1, on "Opportunities for History Teachers," just issued by the United States Bureau of Education. In its appeal to teachers the Bureau says among other things: "Today we are fighting for our own rights, but we are about those special rights of our women we are fighting for international law itself, without which no nation can be safe, least of all those democratic governments which are less effectively organized for war than for peace. "No one can take an intelligent part in a great conflict for the safety of democracy under an orderly system of international law, unless he is really interested in and knows something about other nations than his own about the difference between a republican government like our own or that of France or the scarcely loss democratic constitution of Great Britain on the one side, and, in sharp contrast to all of these, a strongly monarchical system like that of the German Empire, in which the most important measures affecting the national welfare may be practically determined by a single bourdary sovereign or a small group of such sovereigns." NEW BAPTIST SEMINARY. Nashville, Tenn.—The Educational Board of the National Baptist convention, unincorporated, reported the purchase of a new school for the denomination in this city. It is known as the Boscobel College, erected by five wealthy philanthropists for white girls of the South, at a cost of $150,000. It was very successfully operated up until at two years ago, when the last of its promoters passed away and the great Nashville fire destroyed about twenty-five blocks of the leading white resident property adjacent. There are two main buildings, consisting of 65 dormitory rooms, with fine porcelain bath tubs. A new five thousand dollar system of steam-heating and ventilation has been installed. A sun-porlar or recreation hall, 45254, has been established between the two main buildings. The chapel is one of the most attractive in the city. There are four music and art halls, five office rooms and eight fine class rooms, and a dining room able to accommodate several hundred. Hot and cold water is supplied through all the buildings. The chapel and class rooms are well equipped with modern desks, ready for service. The purchase is designed to provide a national theological seminary for preparing ministers and others for Christian service. To secure this property with its fine buildings worth fully $100,000, for $25,000, with easy terms to pay it, is regarded as a blessing by the denomination. HOWARD UNIVERSITY Washington, D. C.—Howard University began its session with a favorable outlook, notwithstanding the great effect of the war in all the colleges of the land. Dean Kelly Miller states that about nineteen of the senior class are in the Officern Reserve Training Corps and others may be drafted.

Moorland, international secretary of the Y. M. C. A., delivered the principal address, which stirred the patriotism of the men.
