Thoms Is Re-elected President of Association—To Meet Next Year in Boston. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.) St. LOUIS, Mo.—At the eleventh annual convention of the National Association of Colored Nurses, held here, was a letter to Mrs. Adah B. Thoms from Col. Theodore Roosevelt congratulating the association on the fact that 2,000 colored nurses have enrolled in the American Red Cross. Colonel Roosevelt's letter follows: My dear Madam: I most heartily congratulate you, and I congratulate the committee on the fact that the Red Cross have finally enrolled the 2,000 colored nurses in this country for active nursing service, and that the surgeon general has promised that as speedily as possible they will be assigned to duty. I am as pleased as possible from every standpoint. With heartiest congratulations, Faithfully yours. (Signed) THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Letters of greeting and congratulations also were received from the surgeon general at Washington and Miss Jane A. Delano, chairman of the American Red Cross. The purpose of the association in choosing St. Louis for its meeting place this year was to get more closely in touch with nurses of the West and Southwest. The local nurses' association of St. Louis had widely advertised the meeting, which was largely attended, and which increased its membership to a considerable extent. The meeting was one of the most successful in the history of the association. "Service" is the Watchword. The recent acceptance of colored nurses by the American Red Cross formed one of the chief topics for discussion. The sentiment of the entire body was that service should be their watchword. The nurses are not unmindful of the fact that every endeavor has been made to ignore their many proffers of service to the Red Cross, and that only at the eleventh hour have they been accepted, but with one accord they agreed that they would not stop now for the adjustment of racial grievances, but would go forth, wherever sent, just as our boys went without The New York Age questioning or hesitancy, with the assurance within themselves that he who pays most dearly the price of democracy shall one day surely enjoy the privilege of equality of opportunity to all mankind.

OWEN AND RANDOLPH Chandler Owen and Asa Randolph, who for months have stood on the street corners in Harlem and vilified those with whom they differed politically, are under $1,000 bond, having been arrested by United States officials for conducting a seductive publication. Owen was arrested in Chicago a short time ago and kept under surveillance by government agents, after furnishing $1,000 bail. He was sent to Camp Upton Monday with a contingent from Harlem. It is thought his case will be dropped since he is to bend his efforts toward helping whip the Hun. The impression prevails that Randolph will be prosecuted by the government. NEW LIBERIAN MINISTER Washington, D. C.-Dr. Joseph L. Johnson of Columbus, O., who was for some years special examiner in the U. S. Pension Bureau, and who also practiced medicine in this city, has been appointed Minister Resident and Consul-General to Liberia. He was appointed in an annuity on Janu- 27. The appointment came as a greg- eral surprise to the residents here. Dr. Johnson is said to have been a staunch supporter of President Wilson in both of the latter's campaigns. Richard C. Bunday of Cincinnati is serving as secretary of the American Legation at Monrovia. EMMA GRIFFIN DEAD; WELL-KNOWN ON STAGE (Special to The New York Age.) Chicago, Ill.—After a lingering illness of several weeks' duration, caused by working too soon after undergoing an operation, Emma Griffin, sister of Mabel Griffin of the well-known Griffin sisters, died August 28, in the arms of her sister at their home 31st street and (Continued on Sixth Page) NEW YORK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1918. Shocking Conditions are Discovered at Sloss Steel Works at Russelville, Ala. LABORERS WERE OPPRESSED Members of Board Found Industrial Slavery Equal to the Old Agricultural Peonage of Russia—More American System Adopted by Firm at Request of Board. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.) WASHINGTON, D. C.—A condition of industrial peonage in the United States is bared by the decision of the National War Labor Board in its decision for labor and against the Sloss Sheffield Steel and Iron Company with mines and furnaces in Russelville, Alabama. Members of the board were horrified at the conditions discovered in that American town. "Industrial slavery equal to the agricultural peonage of old time Russia," said one officer of the board. The company was charging its employees 20 per cent discount for cashing its own pay checks, charging each employee $1 a month for physician's care, 30 cents a month school fee, $2.25 a month to buy all provisions and supplies at the company store. As a result it was not uncommon for an employee to receive less than $1 in his semi-monthly pay envelope. Pay ran from $185 to $1250 day with the bulk of the employees receiving about $2 or a little over a day. The company was also in agreement with other iron and mining companies by which no employee who left one company would be hired by another without showing a permit from the former company. In this way an employee in debt to one company could never shift his employment to another, no matter how advantageous it might be to him. The War Labor Board has abolished all these conditions by applying its basic principles as outlined by the President for its guidance. It has sorred a flat increase of $2 a day to all employees, the abolishment of the permit system; the eight-hour day with time and a half for overtime (the present day is ten hours); that the insurance fee be made optional; that orders for money due on wages be cashed at their face value. This award will make it possible for the workers to get enough money to trade at other than company stores and secure cheaper prices on necessities. The lowest wage allowed under the award is $1.99 for a ten-hour day. The award is made applicable to the Sheffield Iron Corporation and the Sewance Iron Company also; embracing the entire district. RECEIVE COMMISSIONS AS ARTILLERY OFFICERS (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) CAMP ZACHARY TAYLOR, Ky.-Included in the class of 2,500 artillery officers who received commissions here August 31, were thirty-five Negroes, the first of their race to be made officers at the field artillery school. ODD FELLOWS LIKELY TO HOLD TWO CONVENTIONS IN NEW YORK The controversy over holding the B. M. C. in New York this year, in which the Morris and Davis factions are principals, bids fair to find its way into the courts of law. Both sides are getting out their heaviest legal artillery, and it would not be surprising if proceedings were not instituted before the end of next week. E. A. Johnson and John Clifford Hawkins are Nominated for Legislature from Harlem Districts—Bolles. Defeats Ransom and Humphries for in Contest for Congress. Charles S. Whitman, Republican, and Alfred E. Smith, Democrat, will be the principal candidates at the polls for the Governorship of New York in November. At the party primaries held Tuesday both had walkovers. Whitman's majority over Lewis is estimated at nearly 170,000. Women voted throughout the Empire State for the first time, and Governor Whitman was their favorite. Whitman carried every county in the State except Albany. Lewis lost his home county of Moorroon by over two to one and also was defeated in his native village by Whitman. All the Republican organization candidates, triumphing over one another, surpassed John A. Lewis won the Republican nomination for Congress in the Twenty-first Congressional District, defeating the Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom and Andrew B. Humphries. John Clifford Hawkins secured the Republican nomination for the Assembly from the Twenty-first Assembly District, defeating his white opponent by a substantial majority. E. A. Johnson, the first colored man to be sent to the New York Legislature, was renominated without opposition from the Nineteenth Assembly District. ODD FELLOWS LET TWO CONVENTION The controversy over holding year, in which the Morris and Dav to find its way into the courts of their heaviest legal artillery, and seedlings were not instituted before Ben Davis, Harry Pace and their colleagues who are insistent that the B. M. C., he held in New York, beginning September 9, have completed all arrangements for what they claim to be the legal and regular B. M. C. They plan to have a big delegation from Georgia and other states and assert that they will put to rout the Morris faction which wants the B. M. C. postponed for another year. The aditers of Edward H. Morris are very reluctant about letting the public know anything of their plans. That the Odd Fellows in Greater New York have been preparing to hold some kind of a convention is common knowledge, but information has not been given out CANTEEN NO. 5 TO OPEN THIS THURSDAY Mrs. William Randolph Hearst will attend the opening of Canteen Number 5 on Thursday evening, September 5, at 8 o'clock, at the Music School Settlement, 4-6 West 131st street.

It is the largest and best equipped in the city, shaping a seating capacity for one hundred, and is under the auspices of the Mayor's Committee of Women on National Defense, with Mrs. Wm. Randolph Hearst, chairman. Through the kindness of Ferdinand Q. Morton, Rosamond Johnson, director of the school, and a committee of ladies were given audience with Mrs. Henry and Mrs. Irwin of the Mayor's Committee. Shortly after this conference extensive alterations were planned, and now the plant is fitted up in detail for the work of the canteen. Mrs. E. C. Goode is captain of the Volunteer Aid, and is meeting with success in registering volunteer workers, applicants coming in daily. The public is especially asked to be present Thursday evening to give the boys a great send off."

Baltimore, Md.—When the nineteenth annual session of the Grand Lodge of the Independent Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks came to a close Thursday afternoon of last week, it was voted one of the best yet. The delegates and visitors had come from many cities and towns and were all enthusiastic over Baltimore's hospitality. The parade on Tuesday of last week was agreed to be one of the best in the history of the order; the ball at the Lyrio was voted a social-trumph.

Both sides are getting out it would not be surprising if proce the end of next week. as to what hall has been selected. The charge is being made by the Davis faction that the meeting called by Morris is not in good faith; that his one object is to get a few delegates in some isolated spot in New York, call a rump meeting, convene and give his foil warts some standing in court. Those who have been contending that the sub-committee of management had no authority to postpone the regular B M. C. declare that if these tactics are pursued by Morris they will go into the courts and question the legality of holding such a convention. Much dissatisfaction is said to exist among New York members over the effort of Morris followers to keep their plans for holding their meeting a secret. MEDFORD MAYOR JOINS DRAFTEES IN PARADE (Special to THE NEW YORK ACK) MEDFORD, Mass.—A pleasing reception was tendered to the colored men of Medford leaving for Camp Devens as draftees in the national army. The affair was in charge of a committee of women headed by Mrs. Hillard Kountz, Mrs. Jeffreys and Mrs. Madeline Dugger, whose husband is a lieutenant now in active service. The program consisted of vocal and instrumental music by the Misses Russell, Miss Talbot, Mrs. Douglass and Mr. Muller. Addresses were made by Mayor Haines, Representative Morrison, Lawyer John Schenck, the Revs. Swain and Greene. Mayor Haines bade the boys Godspeed and asked them to remember Sergeant Garney, and emulate his deeds in the civil war, remembering that "the old flag never touched the ground." A considerable sum of money was collected and distributed for their comfort. Mayor Haines asked the boys to meet him in the square with their families and he would provide autos and accompany them to Boston to join in the celebration before the Governor. Richmond, Va.—Unstinted praise of President Wilson for socially denouncing lynching, a request that more colored officers be assigned to colored regiments, a plea that additional colored prisoners be commissioned as officers in the Medical Reserve Corps and condemnation of "Jim Crowism" are included in the declaration made by the National Medical Association at its annual session here last week. The colored physicians of the country charge that members of their profession are being drafted and assigned as privates because of the present policy of the War Department, which is to exclude more Negro physicians from officers commissions and active service. the Director-General of the railroad to abolish the "Jim Crow" car system, as a war measure, to the end that millions of faithful citizens may be given justice for their devotion. Reaffirm Dvotion to Government. "We, the members of the National Medical Association, in annual convention assembled with delegates from every State in the Union, representing five thousand medical men, feel that we owe it as a duty to ourselves, our race and our nation to make the following declarations: "I. As loyal and patriotic medical men, we have offered and are offering our services to the nation now in the throes of a great national crisis. About one hundred Negro physicians have already been called upon to render professional service in the Medical Reserve Corps. In addition to this, about two hundred physicians have been commissioned in the Medical Reserve Corps, but have not been assigned to active duty, notwithstanding the fact that the Government is calling for more physicians. We have information that no more Negro physicians will be commissioned in the Medical Reserve Corps, in accordance with the present policy of the War Department. We appreciate the representation we already have, but we deplore the discrimination against our physicians whereby they are excluded from further commissions. Thousands of Negroes are being drafted into the Army, and we appeal to the War Department to right the injustice of the present policy, and to give us a fair representation of commissioned officers. "2. Negro physicians who are now being drafted, are being assigned as privates with no apparent chance of being transferred to the Medical Reserve Corps where they could render the professional service for which they have been trained. Under the new draft age —18 to 45; at least 90 per cent, of our physicians are subject to the draft, and may be assigned as private. We hereby petition the War Department to remedy this condition of affairs, so that our physicians can be transferred to the Medical Reserve Corps. We will approve the decision of the War Department to enlist Negro trained nurses in the Red Cross Service. However, this privilege is limited to service in the base hospitals at home. The Negro trained nurse is loyal and true, and we appeal to the War Department to reward her loyalty and devotion by giving her the opportunity to serve the brave black soldiers on the battlefields of Europe. New Regiments Officered by White Men New Regiments Officered by White Men "4. As close students of the war situation, we realize that adequate provision has not been made for the training of a sufficient number of Negro officers to man the large number of drafted Negroes. In fact, the eight Negro regiments now being formed are manned by white, officers. We give due praise for the recognition we have already received in the matter of officers in the Army. At the same time, we feel that it is only fair and just to us as a race, that if we are to be drafted as Negroes, and kept in separate regiments as Negroes, we should have our proportionate share of Negro officers assigned to such regiments. We feel that at this critical hour, loyalty should dominate race prejudice; and that the brave black soldier and the patriotic citizen should not be prodded in the back with the fangs of race prejudice while he is facing the brutal Hun in the defense of this country. We appeal to the War Department to give us a fair proportion of Negro officers for our Negro regiments, to the end that loyalty and faithful service may be the test and not the color of our skin. "5. The Negro physicians constitute one of the most loyal group of Americans and one of the most potent factors in our racial development. We are using this great influence to promote patriotism for and confidence in our Government. However, as we travel from place to place in our professional duties, and to propagate patriotism, we are inconvenienced, humiliated and abused by the passenger car system known as the 'Jim Crow' cars. It is out of keeping with the tenets of American Government for which the world is now bathed in blood, that the Government itself should operate such a passenger traffic system. It not only debases a patriotic class of citizens, but breeds discontent and deprives a citizen of a fair compensation for his money invested in a railroad ticket. We therefore appeal to the Director-General of the railway to abolish the 'Jim Crow' car system of a war measure, to the end that millions of faithful citizens may be given justice for their devotion. Reaffirm Devotion to Government "6. We give unstinted praise to our great President, Woodrow Wilson, and the great service he has rendered to race, the nation and mankind by his official demission of mobs and buildings. We rejoice that public sentiment is being crystallized against freedom and we pray for the day when the majority of the law will reign supreme. "7. We reaffirm our consecrated devotion to the American Government and our high resolve to do all in our power to help achieve victory in the war with Germany. But in finding make the world safe for democracy we want to make America safe for ourselves. We have invested millions in War Stamps, Liberty Bonds, the Cross, the Y. M. C. A. and other red organizations; we have sacrificed millions in the war of peace, we have sacrificed brave soldiers are dying in the cruel war ever waged by man, to have "government of the people, for the people and by the people" from perfelling from the earth, and it seems to use them as a regard for this unparalleled deviance, while America ought to be willing to lay aside its antagonistic race prejudice as a means to help win this war. "8. A committee of three is hereby appointed to present the appeal to the Secretary of War, and a similar committee to present the appeal to the Director-General of the Railroads. "Signed, Executive Board: G. R. Cannon, chairman; C. V. Roman, W. C. Gordon, E. T. Belsaw, secretary, A. M. Brown, J. C. M Fall; A. M. Curtis, A. W. Williams, John A. Lester." The Richmond convention was the largest attended convention in the history of the National Medical Association, and was a big success in every way. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Dr. D. A. Puguson, Richmond, president; Dr. J. P. Turner, Philadelphia, first vice-president; Dr. W. H. Johnson, Charleston S.

It sounds like Louisiana or Georgia to me. I am glad to read in THE AGE of our people getting more of their rights and hope to read more of their progress. Your editorial on Cole Blease was a bear. Keep it up. The clipping sent us is evidently cut from an English or American paper, with a Paris place of publication, and the article is entitled "Uncle Sam's Negro Soldiers." by Fullerton L. Waldo, associate editor Public Ledger, Philadelphia. The writer starts off by saying that he has just been chatting with one of "our American Y. M. C. A. secretaries, who is a real expert on the subject of the American Negroes in the war. Mr. Edward B. Schumacher is from the South." The quality and veracity of this expert and his reporter may be gauged by the following extracts: They asked one man if he had been inoculated. This was his answer: "I've been assassinated (vaccinated); I've done had de celluloid (varioloid), and now dey tells me I see a mute (immune)." Another Negro said: "I wants to claim 'ceptions.' "Exceptions? Exemptions, you mean," answered the officer. "Yes, boss, dat's it—exemptions?" "Well, have you any dependents?" "Yes, boss." "Who?" "De butcher, de grocer, and de saloon keeper." A Negro officer was having a desiderate time getting his men to turn and march in the right direction. "Right face—left face," he would call, and they would do just the opposite. Finally he called out in accents of anguish, "It's a mighty good thing you all is goin' de cavalry. De horse'll know which way to turn when you don't." "Nigrah!" said a captain to an exceptionally stupid though pathetically earnest and willing private, you is suttilly the biggest bonehead I has evah seen in all mall experience. I'se done told you all I know an' you doan know nothin'!" The absurdity and incongruity of having a man commissioned as captain using the language quoted above should be evident to the most unsophisticated. The effect of publishing such ridiculous stuff in Paris, where the Americans flock whenever possible, cannot but be injurious to the morale of the class of soldiers thus made butts of ridicule. It may be good stuff as German propaganda, as the name Schumacher would suggest, but as a means of instilling and cultivating self-respect in the soldiers thus misrepresented it leaves a great deal to be desired. Mr. Waldo and Mr. Schumacher seem to have entered upon a campaign to arouse race and color prejudice in the face of the enemy. THE GREATER DANGER Not since the times of Wendell Phillips and William Lloyd Garrison has there been such a burning call for justice coming out of Massachusetts as the article by Moorfield Storey, "How America Treats the Negro," printed in the Boston Herald of August 4. In this article Mr. Storey declares, and furnishes details and specifications, that "all over the country their rights are ignored and they are subjected to indignities of all kinds, simply because they are Negroes." JAMES W. JOHNSON, CONTINUING EDITOR SOME NEW BOOKS OF POETRY AND THEIR MAKERS. It is a great relief to get away occasionally from discussion of injustices and lynchings and discriminations and talk about something else. So every once in a while this writer takes his readers on a little excursion through other subjects. This time we are going to talk about three new-books of poetry by colored authors. But even so, there is nothing that has a more direct bearing on what we call the Negro problem than the production of literature by colored writers. Some time ago we said in this column that there is no one means through which a race may become great, but that there is only one measure by which its greatness is recognized and acknowledged. Mr. Storey is trying to awake the country to the gravity of this situation, as it will bear upon the readjustments due to come in the national life after the war. He endeavors to impress upon his readers that the dangers that threaten our civilization from lawlessness are greater and more real than Prussian soldiers can inflict. He argues logically that the great body of the community approves lynching, or these crimes would stop. Not by the possession of wealth alone or the holding of political power alone or the acquiring of this or that sort of education alone can a race become great; it must possess and exercise all of the virtues and powers that go to make a great race. On the other hand, when a race has become great the common measure of its greatness is the amount and standard of the literature it had produced. Let us state this proposition in several other ways: The world does not know that a race is great until that race produces great literature. The production of great literature is proof that a race is great. There never has been a great race that did not produce a great literature. No race that produced a great literature has ever been looked upon by the world as distinctly inferior. He also declares that legislative action has virtually re-established slavery. He shows how the suppression of the Negro vote in the South injures the whole country, and proceeding to the logical conclusion, declares that if lynchers continue to go unpunished we may find their methods employed against capitalists, lawyers, courts and public officers. The application to the colored people of America can be made direct. To become a great people they will need wealth, they will need all of the political power and privileges that go with American citizenship, they will need all kinds of education; in a word, they will need all the virtues and powers that have made the white people great. And still, the American Negro will not be recognized and acknowledged as great unitibhe has produced great literature. Racial greatness will necessarily precede the production of literature, but the production of literature will be the proof of that greatness and a guarantee of its recognition. After quoting Charles Sumner's warning to the Senate, when the Missouri Compromise was repealed, that they were sowing dragon's teeth. Mr. Storey concludes: The American Negro has done very little so far in literature; that is, very little in pure literature. Colored writers have written a great many pamphlets and books, but the great majority of these writings have been entirely polemical. The majority of them have been written for the direct purpose of proving the equality of the black man. Now the truth is that one piece of pure literature is worth one hundred or one thousand pieces of that sort of writing. One thin volume of poetry by Paul Dunbar goes farther to prove the intellectual equality of the black man than nine-tenths of all the controversial literature written by American Negroes in the past seventy-five years. "We are repeating the sowing, and the crop is just as sure. Believe me, the dangers, which threaten our civilization from lawlessness are greater and far more real than any which Prussian soldiers can inflict." It would be well for America if her citizens and her lawmakers heeded the warnings voiced by such patriots as Mr. Storey. He views the case of the Negro in its broadest relations, to the welfare of the whole country. At the same time he recognizes that the only logical and reasonable solution of the problem must be based upon justice. That the reign of that justice may be hastened by the war should be the prayer of all lovers of their country. Let us suppose that Pushkin, the national poet of Russia, and Dumas, the greatest romantic novelist of France and of the world, for that matter, instead of being respectively a colored Russian and a colored Frenchman, had been colored Americans, can any one estimate the influence they would have had on opinion regarding the race in this country? It is harder to convince a Russian or a Frenchman of the colored man's inferiority from the mere fact that Pushkin wrote in Russia and Dumas in France. If they had written in America, the proof of the colored man's equality would be easier. BLEASE AND VARDAMAN The rejection of James K. Vardaman and Cole Blease as candidates for the United States Senate by the Democratic voters of Mississippi and South Carolina, respectively, is susceptible of various interpretations. The primary credit for these results is of course due to President Wilson, for his courageous expression of the opinion that the election of either one of them would be undesirable, on the ground of their opposing his war policies. People are often misled into thinking that the man of money is the man who is looked up to. Well, he is while he is alive; that is, while people who "look up to him" think they can get something out of him. But the real pride of a people is not in its men of wealth but in its men of letters. Who knows the names of the wealthy men of Greece? Nobody. But every school boy knows Homer and Aeschylus and Aristotle. There is only one name in Roman history that can be placed alongside Virgil and Cicero, and that is Julius Caesar; and it must be remembered that a good part of Caesar's fame rests upon his authorship of one of the best histories ever written. What is the deepest pride that an Englishman has in his race? Is it that he belongs to a race that manufactures and exports more cotton goods than any other in the world? No, his deepest pride lies in the fact that he belongs to a race that produced a Shakespeare. As the chief political stock in trade of both candidates was based on the policy of "Keeping the Negro down," their rejection would argue that even Southern voters are finding more important issues than race domination. One of the arguments advanced in Vardaman's interest, as set forth in a little sheet called the Issue and published at Jackson, Miss., was as follows: It is no exaggeration to say that one colored American poet or dramatist or novelist of the first magnitude; that is, one that would command the attention and recognition of the world, would do more to batter down prejudice against the race than ten colored American millionaires. It may be that the stage of development that will produce the 'millionaire must come before the stage that will produce the men of letters of first magnitude, but that does not alter the truth of the above statement. But we started out to talk about some new books of poetry by colored writers. We have three volumes on our desk, and each of them is a promise of the racial greatness that is developing, because each of them is an example of creative art. Then the race question is sure to loom up large, if it does not overshadow all other questions. Already the Negro leaders are speaking and demanding the abolition of "jim crow" cars. They are demanding the ballot, and the privilege of sitting upon the juries. If there is government ownership, they will demand their share of these jobs. We have "From the Heart of a Folk" by Waverly Turner Carmichael. In the introduction to this book, written by Prof. James Holly Hanford of Harvard University; we are told that Mr. Carmichael is a full-blooded Negro who up to a year ago was never out of his native state of Alabama, Mr. Carmichael is evidently quite young, but he shows promise as a poet. He is spontaneous and has a keen sense of humor. Most of his verses are written in dialect and reveal a strong influence of Dunbar; and it is by inviting this direct comparison with Dunbar that Mr. Carmichael suffers most; for Mr. Carmichael's dialect is still crude, while Dunbar made dialect poetry as finished as it is possible to make it. No colored poet can write Negro dialect poetry without inviting comparison with Dunbar, and he is almost certain to suffer by the comparison. This comparison is made still more perilous if the younger poet chooses any of the subjects already written on by Dunbar. In the settlement of this question, which affects the, South vitally, we will need a strong and courageous man; a man who can speak with knowledge upon the question. It will require statesmanship and ability of the highest order. Even his colleague in the Senate, the inimitable John Sharp Williams, when asked what he thought of the result, is reported to have replied: "De mortuis nil nisi bonum, and I don't know any good." As for Cole Blease, he was a younger and if possible coarser type of the late Senator Tillman, to whom Senator Williams' apt obituary would also apply. For instance, it is impossible not to draw a comparison between the following from Mr. Carmichael: I went home wid me gal las' night, Dat darlin' figlg, miss, An' time we started off from church I ask'd hur fur a kiss; She drapp'd hur head an' kind o' blush Den say, "I recon so"; I kis'd hur 'bout a dozen times An' den she ask'd fur mo' The United States Senate cannot fail to rank higher as a legislative body for the absence of these two defeated candidates from its membership. Seen my lady home las' night, Jump back, honey, jump back. Hel' huh han' an' sque'z it tight, Jump back, honey, jump back. Hyeahd huh sigh a little sigh, Seen a light gleam fom huh eye, An' a smile go flittin' by— Nor can we escape the following comparison; this from Carmichael: I don' ker 'bout yo' cake an' pie, An' neither 'bout yo' chicken; I wouldn't give a dime for all Dat you have in yo' kitchen; W'en I come doun to visit you, I'll eat what please the masses; Make tings as common as you kin, An' gea me bread an' lasses. And this from Dunbar: When you Kin' o' the An' you An' purp How you How you When do An' de s Why, do Seems to When you An' de s There are other in this comparison with I has done some very good and a fine sense of rhythm heard from.

And when we stand before Him I shall say— "Lord, I do not hate, I am hated, I scourge no one, I am scourged. I covet no lands, My lands are coveted. I mock no peoples, My people are mocked." And, brother, what will you say? Her can not only free and bold and of the art, he can be tender and lyric from an invalid poet: There are other instances in Mr. Carmichael's book in which this comparison with Dunbar cannot be avoided. Yet Carmichael has done some very good things. He has imagination and humor and a fine sense of rhythms. There is no doubt that he will be heard from. Another book is "The Heart of a Woman" by Georgia Douglas Johnson. Mrs. Johnson is already well known as a writer of verse; she has contributed for a number of years to various magazines. Her collection of poems prove her to be a true lyric singer. The strength and light that so often flash out of these delicate verses are amazing. Take for instance the following little mother's croon which starts so lightly and see how it grows in strength: Sweeter far than lyric rune Is my baby's cooing tune; Brighter than the butterflies Are the gleams within her eyes; Firmer than an iron band Serves the zephyr of her hand; Deeper than the ocean's roll Sounds her heart-beat in my soul. Mrs. Johnson's volume is well named; see how much of a woman's heart is revealed, and yet hid, in the following: There are many other things in Mrs. Johnson's volume worth quoting. Many more that prove her to be a truq lyric poet. And we might say just here that we hope Mrs. Johnson will not yield to the temptation of letting her mere lyric gift run away with her. It may be well for her to roughen her art a bit. The other book is "The Band of Gideon" by Joseph S. Cotter, Jr. Mr. Cotter is a young colored man of Louisville, Ky. His father before him did a good deal of literary work, and perhaps continues to do it. Young Cotter suffers from ill health, and nearly all of the poems in his little volume were written on a sick bed. Cotter's book is the thinnest of the three before me, it contains only 29 pages, but in those few pages he shows the greatest promise. Carmichael goes back to traditional dialect—and at some time the writer will say something about the relation of Negro dialect to present-day Negro poetry. Mrs. Johnson confines herself entirely to conventional lyric forms. But Cotter is free and bold. He has imagination and fine poetic sense, and besides a splendid mastery of the tools that every poet must know how to use—words. He has no use for the worn out rhymes; he achieves rhythms without them. Listen to this "Prayer" from a poet who writes on a sick bed: As I lie in bed, Flat on my back; There passes across my ceiling An endless panorama of things— Quick steps of gay-voiced children, Adolescence in its wondering silences, Maid and man on moonlit summer's eve, Women in the holy glow of Motherhood, Old men gazing silently thru the twilight Into the beyond. O God. give me words to make my dream-children live. Or read the whole race question put into thirteen lines, and short ones at that: But Cotter can be not only free and bold and able to throw off his old chains of the art, he can be tender and lyrical. Listen to the following from an invalid poet: I am so tired and weary, So tired of the endless fight, So tired of waiting the dawn And finding endless night. That I ask but rest and quiet— Rest for the days that are gone, And quiet for the little space That I must journey on. We repeat that in these three poets there is promise of the racial greatness that is developing. The racial greatness that will be witnessed by a great literature, and which the world will thereby be forced to acknowledge. that in these three poets there is pro- it is developing. The racial greatness, great literature, and which the work knowledge. We repeat that in these three poets there is promise of the racial greatness that is developing.

C.—President Wilson issued the following appeal to organized labor and to the people of the national generally to consecrate themselves anew to the task of winning the war against Germany: Labor Day, 1918, is not like any Labor Day that we have, known. Labor Day was always deeply significant with us. Now it is supremely significant. Keenly as we were awre a year ago of the enterprise of life and death upon which the nation had embarked, we did not perceive its meaning as clearly as we do now. We knew what we were all partners and must stand and strive together, but we did not realize, as we do now. We knew that we were all members of a single army, of many parts and many tasks, but commanded by a single obligation, our faces set toward a single object. We now know that every tool in every essential industry is a weapon, and a weapon wielded for the same purpose that an army rifle is wielded—a weapon which if we were to lay down no rifle would be of any use. And a weapon for what? What is it the war for? Why are we enlisted? Why should we be ashamed if we were not enlisted? At first it seemed hardly more than a war of defense against the military aggression of Germany, Belgium had been violated, France invaded and Germany was afield again, as in 1870 and 1866, to work out her ambitions in Europe, and it was necessary to meet her force with force. But it is clear now-that it is much more than a war to alter the balance of power in Europe. Germany, it is now plain, was striking at what free men everywhere desire and must have—the right to determine their own fortunes, to insist upon justice, and to oblige governments to act for them and not for the private and selfish interest of a governing class. It is a war to make the nations and peoples of the world secure against every such power as the German autocracy represents. It is war of emancipation. Not until it is won can man anywhere live free from constant fear or breathe freely while they go about their daily tasks and know that governments are their servants, not their masters. This is, therefore, the war of all wars, which labor should support and support with all its concentrated power. The world cannot be safe, men's lives cannot be secure, no man's rights can be confidently and successfully asserted against the rule and mastery of arbitrary groups and special interests so long as governments like that which after long premeditation drew Austria an Germany into this war are permitted. o control the destinies and the daily fortunes of men and nations, plotting while honest men work, laying the fires of which innocent men, women and children are to be the fuel. You know the nature of this war. It is a war which industry must sustain. The army of laborers at home is as important, as essential, as the army of fighting men in the far fields of actual battle. And the laborer is not only needed as much as the soldier. 'It is his war. The soldier is his champion and representative. To fail to win would be to imperial everything that the laborer has striven for and held dear since freedom first, had its dawn and its struggle for justice began. The soldiers at the front know this. It steals their muscles to think of it. They are crushers. They are fighting for no selfish advantage for their own nation. They would despise any one who fought for the selfish advantage of any nation. They are giving their lives that homes everywhere as well as the homes they love in America may be kept sacred and safe, and men everywhere be free as they insist upon being free. They are fighting for the ideals of their own land—great ideals, immortal ideals, ideals which shall light the way for all men to the places where justice is done and men live with lifted heads and enunciated spirits. That is the reason they fight with solemn joy and are invincible. Let us make this, therefore, a day of fresh comprehension, not only for what we are about and of renewed and clear-ceyed resolution but a day of consecration also in which we devote ourselves without pause or limit to the great task of setting our own country and the whole world free to render justice to all and of making it impossible for small groups of political rulers anywhere to disturb our peace or the peace of the world or in any way to make tools and puppets of those upon whose consent and upon whose power their own authority and their own very existence depend. We may count upon each other. The nation is of a single-mind. It is taking counsel with no special class. It is serving no private or single interest. Its own mind has been cleared and fortified by these days, which burn the dross away. The light of a new conviction has penetrated to every class amongst us. We realize as we never realized before that we are conrades dependent upon one another, irresistible when united, powerless when divided. And so we join hands to lead the world to a new and better day. WOODROW WILSON A Paragrapher.

Emma Griffin was born in Louisville, Ky., and was 44 years of age. She made her first appearance on the stage with her sister at Kohl and Middleton's Museum, Chicago, when they were girls. Their first appearance, as regular professionals was with John W. Isham's original octoroon company, headed by Fred J. Piper and Madam Flower. When they had gained fame with the octoroons they entered into vaudeville and remained in that field and made money. When Mabel Griffin was taken ill at Youngstown, O., eleven weeks ago and had, to return home ill, Emma took Margie Lorraine as a partner and opened at the Star Theatre, Pittsburgh, ten weeks ago, but broke down and returned home ill. Both sisters were bedridden in separate rooms during a period in which a benefit was given for them at the States Theatre of special pictures by Theda Bara. No performers appeared and the occasion marked the first theatrical "movie" benefit in history. Elizabeth Hart and Cassie Burch Slaughter conducted the benefit. Miss Griffin was well educated, having been a student of the State University of Louisville. As an actress she was a comedienne of the May Irwin type and was a clever mirth provoker despite her avoidupois. As an orator she had recognized ability, recently demonstrated in politics as a suffragette. The stand she took on behalf of the rights of performers against managers was well known. The deceased was a charitable woman and always interested in the welfare of her profession. Miss Griffin was the oldest child of Henry Griffin, deceased, and Blandina Duncan. The funeral was held Tuesday, September 3, and was largely attended. WESTERN DRAMA AT In making the assertion that Lafayette Theatre patrons will find an unusual amount of enjoyment in "Arizona," next week play at the Harlem house, it is based on a conviction formed after looking back a few years to the time when the Crescent Theatre held full sway in New York's most thickly populated Colored section. About the time the people were becoming tired of the acts, most of them put together over night, the late Marlon Brooks arrived from the West with a number of little playlets which for the main part were made up of comedy but which carried a strong western touch that found instant favor with the crowds that packed the little theatre afternoon and evening. The desire for this kind of play has been met by the management of the Lafayette, and a four-act drama of a higher standard has been secured in "Arizona," a play which added to the popularity of Augustus Thomas and stamped him one of the foremost playwrights ever developed in this country. The critics and the public have been one in the opinion that "Arizona" is one of the best dramatic successes soon on the American stage in a generation, and this is as it should be, as Mr. Thomas has been notably realistic in his treatment of story and detail. SING LATEST WAR SONG WITH SUCCESS Two of the best known colored bands in the country are featuring "When the Yanks Yank the Germ Out of German" with great success.
