Emmet O'Neal, former Governor of Alabama, speaking on "What Booker Washington meant to the South and the duty of the South to the Negro," referred to the long standing friendship between himself and Booker Washington. On the late Negro leader's unswerving loyalty to the South and to his own people and to the vision which guided him in his great achievements, he said: "He was a long and difficult task to each a race recently emancipated after 30 years of unbroken toil that work neither on farm or in shop, if done with skill and intelligence, was education, and that education which did not (Continued on Seventh Page) Sarah W. Elkinton of Moylan appeared in the men's meeting the same afternoon and announced that Miss Smith "has a concern to talk to the men's meeting about lynching, which is too prevalent and disgraceful, to the end that we go on record and take a positive stand together against it." Miss Smith, by an unanimous vote, was granted permission to talk on this subject. She declared lynching a great national crime, and that all deeply deplore the nation's shame and disgrace. She said there are 3,000 recorded cases of lynching of the Negro in this country, and added the time had come when more should be done than deplore the practice. Miss Smith left such an impression on those present that a committee was immediately appointed to name several men to co-operate with the women in steps to abolish lynching.

C.-A colored Fire Department has been organized in the Southwest section of this city with E. C. Gibson as acting captain. There is a rumor that one of the Police Procincts in the Northwestern section will soon be made up entirely of colored officers. This form of "Jim Crowman" appears incongruous here in the Capital of the United States. NEWPORT NEWS, Va.—In a strong plea before the Rotary Club for cooperation between white and colored people of the better class to the end of understanding and helpfulness, Bishop Wilber T. Thirkield of the M. E. Church, North, of New Orleans, stated that there was really no "Negro problem," but what was needed was a Negro program. Bishop Thirkield's talk brought forth an earnest exchange of views and opinions, and at the conclusion of the dinner a committee was appointed by Chairman Peck to put into practice some of the suggestions the bishop had advanced. Bishop Thirkield said that there was really no "Negro problem," but what was needed was a "program." A problem, he said, involved a fear on the part at both the white and the colored race, the one at having to meet it the other. Before Gov. Coolidge at S at being it. The Negro, three hundred years in America, had in him, said the speaker, many of the elements of true Americanism. He was by nature fitted to fashioning by the Anglo-American civilization, which Bishop Thirkield declared had in his belief been selected and commissioned by God to do the work of true democracy on earth. The Negro needed, however, justice, recognition and understanding and sympathy. He did not need or want social equality, and to confuse him with the dread raised up under that name was interest mountain. He did sorely need a fair wage, fairly paid, good living conditions and the opportunity to feel that he was considered and treated as a man. Without unduly minimizing the faults of the Negro as a race, Bishop Thirkield found many qualities to praise in him. He was faithful, he was religious, he was no anarchist. The "black hand," he said, is never found among men whose hands are black. (Special 6 The New York Acm.) TUSKEGEE, Ala. In June, 1914 Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist, authorized Tuskegee Institute to launch a campaign in the South for better rural school houses for colored people. Since that time the total amount contributed for such schools has been $903,389.29, of which sum the colored people have given as personal donations $342,925.59. The various states have contributed $272,614.50, and Mr. Rosenwald $228,415. The white people of the South personally donated $59,434. The following states have accepted Mr. Rosenwald's offer: Alabama, leading the list, has projected 184 schools North Carolina following with 111; Tennessee, 76; Louisiana, 61; Virginia, 40; Mississippi, 33; Arkansas, 31; Georgia, 31; Kentucky, 20; South Caro- State House in Boston lina, 10, and Maryland, 6. The total number of schools projected in the eleven states is 609. In the eleven states where Mr Rosenwald is extending his aid state officers and other agencies are actively at work trying to get communities to qualify for Mr. Rosenwald's offer. The following agents have been employed by the state to look especially after this kind of work: North Carolina, C. H. Moore; Arkansas, P. L. Dorman; Kentucky, F. M. Wood; Mississippi, K. S. Grossley; Louisiana, O. W. Gray; Alabama, Booker T. Washington, Jr. In all these states except one, one half the expense of assistants to agents has been paid by local funds. Some of these assistants have raised from the colored people as much as $5,000 in one month toward the erection of school houses. ROCHESTER, N. Y.—The trustees of the A. M. E. Zion Church have asked Bishop George L. Blackwell to immediately remove the Rev. E. D. W. Jones as pastor, alleging that upon investigation they find he has been dishonorable and dishonest in his dealings in matters in which the church has been more or less interested. The nine trustees signing the petition for removal are: John W. Thompson, president; S. C. Young, vice-president; George W. Derham, secretary; A. S. Jamason, treasurer; Ora Bennett, John G. Lee and L. S. Herendan, trustees. Following are some of the charges preferred against the Rev. Mr. Jones: That a man by the name of Andrews died at the County House about March 28, 1918, and subscriptions for his burial were taken at the Majett's barber shop 201 Main street. The following amounts were collected: At Majett's barber shop, $25.85; Bishop's shop, $9.80; March 31, at the church, something over $17, making a total of $42.65 turned over to the Rev. Mr. Jones. Out of this amount he paid $25 to the undertaker, having a balance in his hands of $17.65. The trustees also wanted to know what became of something over $31 collected at the church on March 31 for James Jarvis, who at that time was dying, as his people in the Jarvis family paid the deceased's funeral expenses amounting to $135.11 in one check. The trustees also wanted to know what became of something over $20 taken away from the church for smokes for the soldiers. The trustees saw that having investigated all of those things, they found that the Rev. F. D. W. Jones was guilty and should be removed for the good of the church. CHAUFFEUR HUSBAND IS CAUSE OF DAMAGE SUIT The suit for $50,000 brought by Mrs. Julia King, color I, against Mrs. Augusta L. Mott, white, wife of George E. Mott, an attorney of 32 Nassau street for the alienation of her husband's affections, is being tried in the Supreme Court before Justice Dugo. Affected King, the plaintiff's husband, was a chauffeur in the Mott family. In her complaint Mrs. King alleges that Mrs. Mott won her husband as follows: "My dearest boss! Mr. Mott is with you every minute of the time. I must tell you that I am sad and very lonely." The plaintiff adds "for information and belief" that Mrs. Mott called the plaintiff or her affectionate names from 1913 to 1916, and wrote to him on occasions when she was away from home at how much she missed him. Mrs. King set forth that she called on Mrs. Mott and asked her why she intertwined with her domestic affairs. Then, it is alleged, Mrs. Mott replied that "King was a good boy, too nice for the plaintiff, and defendant did not want her around." After King entered the Mott employ Mrs. King says she saw loss of him at home, and at times he would stay away two or three weeks. His payments to the upkeep of the household also decreased, she alleges. Mrs. King is represented by former State Senator Edgar Brackett, Alexander A Mayher and Abraham Greenberg. Wednesday a decision was rendered by the jury in favor of Mrs. Mott. Durham to Have Colored Y. M. C. A. (Special to The New York Am.) DURHAM, N. C.-The colored citizens of Durham are organizing a Y.

Colored Citizens of New York Start Campaign to Get Ballot for the Race in the South At the big mass meeting held Thursday evening, April 3, at St. Mark's M. E. Church, to discuss the best method of having the 60th Congress enforce the 15th Amendment, it was decided to appoint a steering committee of five, which is to ask every organization in the city and State to name a committee of two as members of a Committee of One Hundred. The chief work of the Committee on One Hundred will be to create favorable sentiment among the citizens of the Empire State for the enforcement of the 15th Amendment. Y.W.C.A. Provides Positions for Colored Women and Girls Providing dignified and responsible positions for young colored women of education and character is one of the big programs the War Work Council of the Young Women's Christian Association is engaged in carrying out during the rehabilitation period, and this advance step in social service work means that the doors of another profession have been thrown open to race women. The meeting last Thursday week was held under the auspices of the St. Mark's Lyceum and allied organizations, and the spacious West 53rd street edifice was crowded to the doors. Standing room was at a premium. John E. Robinson, president of the Lyceum, presided. Letters were read by Clinton Holloway from United States Senators Lodge, Borah, Wadsworth, Calder, Frelinghuysen, Knox, Harding, Hon. Charles E. Hughes, president of the Union League Club, and Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt giving their respective views on the subject. The letters from the Senators set forth what positions they would take in the event a bill was introduced in the next Congress to enforce the 15th Amendment. Senators Lodge, Calder Y.W.C.A.

Van Buren, Jr. led the light demanding just recognition for colored chauffeurs. The motion to admit Negroes to the union was passed after a heated argument.

Vicious Propaganda to Discredit Colored Officer Reaches U. S. Young Colored Captain in Applying for Appointment in Regular Army Is Turned Down at Camp Meade. WASHINGTON, D. C.—The propaganda started in France to discredit the colored officer in the United States Army has reached the United States as was made evident one day last week when a prominent young colored man of this city just returned from overseas where he creditably served as captain, applied at Camp Meade in answer to the request made for volunteer officers in the Regular Army. Despite his excellent record as captain in France, he was told by the examining board that he was unqualified by reason of "the qualities inherent in the Negro race." An opinion of the board was based on the testimony of five white officers serving with the 368th Infantry that "Negroes are deficient in moral fibre and force of character, rendering them unfair to officers and leaders of men. This is the old old story of the old, old lie which Caucasians use, the kind who turn green with envy when they see a Negro occupying a position which they characterize as "a white man's job." the five hundred plates." He was applauded for his one hundred per cent American talk. Seeing that he was about to lose five hundred patrons and a large sum of money, the proprietor quickly receded from his former position and seated the musicians at the head of the table. The colored men were accorded every consideration by the waiters, as Lieutenant Bushel had said: "See that the colored boys get the same service as the guests." "SOCIAL EQUALITY" An attempt has been made to whitewash the fine record made by the 370th Infantry, formerly the old 8th Illinois, which was officered by Negroes from lieutenant colonel down, and also the excellent records of many colored officers of the 92nd Division. The records will show that the colored officer charged the officer got into trouble because the white major who was the tactical commander proved the biggest coward. Nothing has been said about the cowardice of this white officer, nor is reference made to the brilliant work of other colored officers of the same regiment who were decorated for annual bravery under fire. General March, chief of staff of the United States Army, has issued orders providing for the organization of the Regular Army, to be made up of 509,000 soldiers, to be made up of 509,000 soldiers, to be recruited exclusively from the area of the former war divisions. The 183rd Brigade, formerly of the 92nd Division, is to be composed of the 24th and 25th regular regiments and the 350th Machine Gun Battalion of the 92nd Division. There are white men in Washington who believe that the colored troops should be officered by white men, no matter what caliber of officers they may be, in preference to colored men. If the colored people of the United States do not vigorously oppose the pernicious scheme hatched in France, colored officers in the United States Army will be few and far between. DOWN THE COLOR LINE The reluctancy of a cafe proprietor in The Bronx to comply with the request of Lieut. "Jack" Busher to seat colored musicians with the guests at a banquet which the officer tendered to five hundred friends—male and female—one evening last week was the cause of a heated controversy in which the officer won out. In celebration of his return from overseas, Lieutenant Busher, who was a member of the 101st Aero Squadron, gave a banquet for the members of the Socoma Club, which is made up of people who have seen overseas service. H. B. Harris and his Jazz Band furnished the music and song for the guests who were seated at a table formed in shape of a horseshoe. When the time for "teats" arrived, Lieutenant Busher told a waiter to seat the musicians at the head of the table. The waiter spoke to the head waiter who told the officer that the collar he were not served in the collar. Lieutenant Busher was in distress and the manager sent for. The waiter asserted that the collar could not eat with the collar. Lieutenant Busher cled to guests, saying: "If they were good enough to fight with they are good enough to eat with. If they can't sit at my table you can cancel the order for $25 COURSE FOR $5.00 ```markdown ``` WHITE OFFICER BREAKS the five hundred plates." He was applauded for his one hundred per cent American talk.

The colored men were accorded every consideration by the waiters, as Lieutenant Bushel had said: "See that the colored boys get the same service as the guests." "SOCIAL EQUALITY" BUGABOO RIDICULED Miss Amelia Bingham, the actress, was one of the principal speakers at the meeting of the Rainy Day Club of America, held Wednesday, April 2, at the Hotel Astor. Miss Bingham was most outspoken in her views on racial matters. She declared that the Negro was looking for a square deal, not "social quality," contending that the "social equality" bigaboo was more of a nightmare than anything else. Lieut. O. E. McKaine also spoke. The meeting was presided over by Mrs. A. M. Palmett, the president. HOME COMING RECEPTION FOR BROOKEL INHERES Union Bethel Church was a scene of a great demonstration last Friday night, when a home coming reception and banquet was given a honor of the seventh annual gathering of their church members were members of the 25th Infantry, 369th Infantry, 367th Infantry and the U.

EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS IN SOUTHERN STATES (Special to The New York Age) HAMSTON VA - Mr. James Hardy Dillard, president of the John F. Slater Rune and Anna T. Jeane Foundation, who recently made a tour through the Southern states and attended important conferences of Jeanes workers at Selma, Jacksonville, Nashville, Savannah, and Winston-Salem, declared that he "felt immensely encouraged with the general improvement in all educational work." He added: "There has been a wonderful increase in the readiness of school superintendents and school boards to urge the appropriation of money for colored schools. Recently the Legislature of South Carolina appropriated $74,000 for the annual work of the State Colored Agricultural and Mechanical College at Orangeburg. The Legislature of Louisiana appropriated $25,000 for a new building the State School for colored youth to meet the $25,000 offered by the General Education Board. The county school boards are pacing for the larger part of the Jeanes teachers' salaries throughout the South. "Recently the State Superintendent of Public Instruction in North Carolina said that it is the arm of the Department of Education to provide a good high school for colored boys and girls in every county. "At present there are fourteen county training schools in North Carolina. Last year there were fifty-four of these advanced schools in the South, to which the Jeanes Fund gave $30,000, the General Education Board, $15,000; and the county authorities, $132,000. This year there are seventy-three of these schools which give colored youth some valuable training through the tenth grade." SHEPARD COMPLETE SPEAKING TOUR. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) DUMMAR, N.

Laxcarin tablets get at the cause and remove bad breath. Laxcarin tablets for which there is no substitute of any worthy consideration, act gently on the bowels and positively do the work. People afflicted with bad breath find quick relief through Laxcarin tablets. The pleasant chocolate coated tablets are taken by all who know them not only for bad breath but for the cause of bad breath itself, which is most usually caused by stomach disorders such as indigestion, soury and gassy stomach, where there is much bloating of gases, etc., etc. Laxcarin tablets are also very good for constipation, whether it is a chronic case or whether it may be only occasional. Laxcarin gently forces the bowels to move at the same time compels the toxins, and other poisons which accumulate in the bowels and the kidneys to leave the system. Laxcarin stimulates the bowels and the liver into natural action, clearing the blood and gently purifying the entire system. Laxcarin does this work without any danger, and without any bad effects which are usually caused by others. All the benefits of nasty, sickening, gripping cathartics are derived sfrom Laxcarin tablet without gripping, pain, or any disagreeable effects. Laxcarin 'tablets formula is not a secret preparation, and the same formula is being used by thousands and thousands of physicians all over the world. Only so far it has been obtainable only by physician's prescriptions. It is the prescription of a very famous professor. Laxcarin is a purely vegetable compound—you will like them after a trial.

The proposition to reduce the representation of the South in the electoral college and the Congress so as to meet the restriction of the suffrage which gives undate political power to that section, has long been a favorite project with a certain class of Republicans. The same idea has been taken up by the Southern States Woman Suffrage Conference, as a means of getting around the objection that the Susan B. Anthony amendment, if adopted, would confer the right to vote upon all women, without regard to race or color. The apportionment of Representatives shall be divided among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons of each State. But when the right to vote for Presidential electors, Senators and Representatives in Congress is denied by any State to women, the mass of representation shall be in proportion to the male sex of such State. for over a quarter of a century. THE AME has consistently opposed the proposition to reduce Southern representation in Congress or in the national conventions for the reason that such reduction would give the stamp of acquiescence and approval to the nullifying of the Fifteenth Amendment. It is bad enough that the South should rob the Negro of his vote and send representatives to Congress and help elect Presidents by virtue of the votes thus suppressed but while it might not affect some slight punishment on the South and decrease its political prestige to reduce its representation to the actual votes cast, the real sufferer would be the Negro, whose disfranchisement would receive the recognition of the law as a legitimate proceeding. The most effective plan proposed for dealing with this matter of nullification and disfranchisement was suggested by an eminent educator, since passed away. As each house of Congress is empowered to decide upon the qualifications of its members, it would be within the power of either branch to reject those seeking membership from districts, where a majority of the electors are deprived of the suffrage. The denial of membership to all candidates whose title to election was based on fraud or suppression of the suffrage would be an effective means ofighting the nullification of the lastenth Amendment. It is to be hoped that the Congress will not only reject such misleading device as that proposed by the Southern states, fragists, but that it may have the backbone to put the seal of disapproval on the nullification now existing. When it is considered that it was only through such nullification that the South was put in the saddle for the past four years, its effect on the whole country is apparent. It is no longer a question of the Negro alone, but one that affects the whole American people. THE VICTORY LOAN. The campaign for the Victory Loan will open April 21 and continue for four weeks. The necessity for a popular response to the demand of the Government for further contributions from the pockets of its citizens cannot be denied. While the previous Liberty Loans were for the purpose raising funds to prosecute the war, this loan is for the purpose of clearing off the expenses incurred and for ensuring a permanent peace. Every individual who has a stake in the prosperity of the country should invest his savings in a Victory Bond. Whatever dissatisfaction may exist as to the policy of the Government as to certain matters, every one should lay aside personal or partisan prejudice in the matter and rally to the support of the country as a whole. The security for the loan is the best that can be given and the rate of interest greater than can be derived from savings banks or other reliable investments. Above all, one should not be persuaded to exchange. Government bonds for doubtful investments that promise higher returns, but are delusive in their character It should also be borne in mind that when one becomes the owner of a bond of the United States, he becomes a stockholder in the country. As a stockholder, he will feel a greater degree of interest in the welfare of the country and is entitled to greater consideration in its affairs. Invest in the stocks of Uncle Sam. CONFERENCE DELEGATES The quadrennial conferences of the great denominations of African Methodism which will meet in 1920, promise to be of unisual importance, in view of the great work of religious reconstruction devolving upon the various church bodies. With this responsibility impending, behooves the district conferences to discriminate carefully in the election of delegates, in fact this discrimination should obtain in the several churches by each unit selecting the best type of churchman as its representative. The necessity for such discrimination on the part of a certain denomination was strikingly shown at the meeting of one of these conferences held recently in one of the large cities. The reports of the actions of some of these delegates was of such a character that THE AGE did not feel at liberty to publish an account of them in its new columns because of the rejections that would have resulted not only upon the denomination concerned, but upon the race at large. Individuals whose actions reflect such wholesale disobedience upon the institutions they represent should not be chosen in a representative capacity. In fact, they have no right to be in the ministry at all; it is the denomination, through its proper authorities, fails to discipline them; the members of the church at least can refrain from electing them as representatives to conference, where their misconduct brings-reproach upon the church at large. The laymen and the ministers should combine their efforts to have their delegates to conference to present the best type of manhood and churchmanship. Especially should the delegates to the quadrennial conferences be of the best the demonstration afford, both as to character and problem. The problems of recognition affect the church as much as the state, and the best men are needed to grieve with them successfully. The delegates to the conference should measure up to their responsibilities. The project of an armory for the Fifteenth Regiment. New York State Guard, is a worthy one and should not fail of fulfillment. An important feature of such a building and one that would make an appropriate memorial to the coloured soldiers of the Empire State who There was carried in the daily newspapers this week an advertisement of such singular importance that we take the liberty of reproducing it here in full. Its importance consists in the fact that it was inserted by so rich and powerful a concern as the Harriman National Bank: "I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effectual as their strict construction," said General Grant in his inaugural of 1869. There is a world of practical wisdom in this honest utterance that is particularly applicable to the prohibition legislation. Rebellion, "No Beer, No Work," is not the weapon wherewith to fight it. Opposition to the law is contrary to the true spirit of American democracy. The Harriman National Bank would favor Grant's method, and if the Eighteenth Amendment be added to the Constitution, would have it scrupulously observed. At the same time, let the Fifteenth Amendment, for which Lincoln fought and died, be observed with like scrupulousness in every State of the Union, including those Southern States where the Negro vote, even when it is cast, is not counted, and is often not permitted to be cast. Incidentally, of 360,710 colored men inducted into the Service by draft, 239,077, or 65%, were citizens of Southern states whose total white contribution was only 370,269. Mississippi gave 24,006 colored, 19,290 white; South Carolina 25,798 colored, 18,201 white; Louisiana 28,711 colored, 27,494 white; Georgia 34,303 colored, 32,538 white; Florida 12,004 colored, 12,912 white. While the Harriman National Bank is not directly concerned with the wisdom or justice of Negro suffrage or prohibition it is concerned, directly and deeply, with the rights and privileges of citizenship as conferred by the principles of the Constitution under which we have successfully achieved 130 years of our national life. As the Harriman National Bank says, it is not particularly concerned about Negro Suffrage, yet, like many others, it does not see why the South should be allowed to put the Eighteenth Amendment over on the North, and the North not retaliate by enforcing the Fifteenth Amendment in the South. Perhaps more good than the mere abolishment of the drink habit will come out of national prohibition. A NEW WORD IN NEW YORK.

This word was not only useless featured in black-faced type in the colored woman as a "negress" is a paper of the South, but up to this time in the newspapers of the North, especially do not like the word, and we are since in a New York newspaper.

The long sense, and those who apply it do so they apply the various terms that denote the animal world. But in some degree this same sense is so cannot be gainsaid that a great many or print anything disparaging use the fish to be soft or express something cruel. For example, in the phrase, "A used in the South, there is something. "A colored man," does not contain, by adopting the term Negro the race in time completely purge it of oppressors, will the race have to go through the sea. We feel certain that the women of accept it. We hope they will not accept need for the word. Man of France is known as a Frenchman, a back citizen of the United States will regard that of American." SECRET OF REMAINING A HERO Margo we chronicled in these columns of Henry Johnson who appeared in St. of a committee of ministers of that c The New York Tribune contained a local news story a few days ago which began with the following words: Mrs. Ingita King, a negress, is demanding $50,000 damages for the loss of the affections of her Negro husband, Albert King, which, she charges, were alienated by Mrs. Augusta L. Mott who employed King as her chanteur. Mrs. Mott, wife of a Manhattan lawyer, lives on the north shore of Long Island. The fact that a colored woman is suing a wealthy white woman for the alienation of her husband's affection makes an interesting story; and the case takes on an added degree of importance when it is known that the colored woman has for her attorneys such lawyers as Abraham Greenberg and ex-senator Edgar T. Brackett and Alexander A. Mayper, former assistant district attorney. It also appears that the suit will not be lacking in sensational features as the newspapers carry extracts from some very endearing love letters purporting to have been written by the lady to the chanteur. But as interesting as all of this is as a news story, the thing which attracted our attention was the use of the word "negress" with a small "n" at that. This word was not only used throughout the article, but was featured in black-faced type in the headlines. Designating a colored woman as a "negress" is a common practice in the newspapers of the South, but up to this time the word has not been current in the newspapers of the North, especially of New York City. We do not like the word, and we are sorry to see it make its appearance in a New York newspaper. Of course, there is no grammatical objection that can be raised against "negress," it is set down in the dictionaries as the feminine of Negro; but the word has a distasteful sound, and we have never yet met a colored woman who did not resent its use. The word always carries a degrading sense, and those who apply it do so much in the manner in which they apply the various terms that denote the female of the species in the animal world. It is true that in some degree this same sense is often attached to "Negro." It cannot be gain-aid that a great many people when they wish to say or print anything disparaging use the word Negro, and when they wish to be soit or express something complimentary use the word cultural. For example, in the phrase, "A Negro man," which is so often used in the South, there is something of contempt which the phrase, "A colored man," does not contain. Nevertheless, by adopting the term Negro the race has given it dignity, and will in time completely purge it of opprobrium. Now the question arises, will the race have to go through the same process with "negress?" We feel certain that the women of the race will never willingly accept it. We hope they will not accept it for there is absolutely no need for the word. A black citizen of France is known as a Frenchman; the day will come when a black citizen of the United States will require no other designation than that of American. THE SECRET OF REMAINING A HERO.

Buy the Telegram and send the coupon to the proper department seems that the real Sergt. Johnson appeared in St. Louis with results almost as disastrous. A despatch from St. Louis states that a Federal warrant was sworn out for Johnson after an address made by him there last week. The warrant was based on the technical charge of wearing the uniform after the prescribed time. However, the real cause of the arrest was the complaint of returned white soldiers that Sergt. Johnson disparaged their valor in his address. Without enquiring into the verity of Sergt. Johnson's statements, we wish to make a few comments on his case. As to how to become a hero we are not able to give the Sergeant any advice. The mere fact that he is the greatest individual hero produced by the whole American army proves that he knows how it is done. But we do believe we can give the Sergeant some pointers on how to remain a hero. We would suggest to him first that he stay off the lecture platform. The gods seldom pour two or more elements of greatness into the same man; so when they poured into Henry Johnson the stuff that makes heroes they failed to pour in any of the stuff that makes orators. The Sergeant proved this in his maiden speech in Albany before the Legislature, a speech which lasted just one minute and a half. But even if Sergeant Johnson was by nature and training a spellbinder, we would suggest to him to stay off the lecture platform; that is, if he wishes to remain a hero. Heroes enhance their value through mystery and distance. Familiarity is to a hero what daylight is to theatrical scenery. Not even Napoleon was a hero to his valet. A hero on the lecture platform soon becomes commonplace; and if he shows up poorly, his fate is even worse. We suggest to Sergeant Johnson, if he wishes to retain and increase his reputation as a hero, to shun the lecture platform with the same zeal with which he has, no doubt, been taught to shun strong-drink, and to compel those who wish to see him to make the trip to Albany. DEMANDS FAIR PLAY TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK AGE As the time is approaching fast when the New York annual conference will convene in New York City, the question, 'Who will be the three delegates elected to the general conference of 1920?' comes to the forefront. This is so because of the talk in church circles that a concerted effort is being made to prevent from election the Rev W. Spencer Carpenter, the present pastor of Bridge Street Church, Brynlyn. In investigating this talk in church circles the writer learns that the Rev Mr. Carpenter is unacceptable to the men of his district conference, not reasons among which are: 1. His insistence that who knew drink ing hope living ministers are a disgrace and not a help to the church for to the church. 2. That when he sees things which he considers not for the best interest of the church, he is among the first to attack such things. 3. That every Sunday he does not have sitting about his pupil ministers who should be preaching in their own pulpit. 4. That he opposes the system of the church paying salaries to their pastors who instead of preaching, "inviting" others to preach for them, which means "after collection" for the one who preaches, thus making him a "good fellow" in the district. 5. That he happens to be the pastor of a church which requested its bishop two years ago not to send to them any person for any pastor in the New York conference. So for these institutions and organizations the writer is aware that the men of the Long Island district decided last August that the Key, Mr. Carpenter is a punishment, must not be elected to the general conference at 1920. How ever, the minister in question seems not to be worrying about the matter. His attitude impressed me that his work is his only recommendation. It that cannot count, nothing else should. His attention seems to be directed to preaching to the largest congregations in the bishops on the historic Bridge Street Church and on the working with his offiends for the going forward of the work and influence of his church. But against all of this the question arises "Will Bishop Tyne be selective and see this man detected not because of his remote not because of his mobility but just because of the law of the A.M. E. Church which does not make it a crime for a minister to be convicted from one occasion to another and second because the Key Mr. Carterer happens to be not of the troubling congregation so that man he would have to be. It is a known fact that the preceding order of the Long Island district works selection to the next general conference because he is a candidate for a conventional job, which if he got it, would take him out of the New York conference as a worker. We learn that another prominent candidate for election is running because of the fact that the annual conference will meet at his church. Yet all bills for this conference must and will be paid by conference money. But Dr. V. R. Cooper of Bath Church, New York City, and the Rev. Mr. Carpenter of Brooklyn are to be sent from election if the "bay" man of the conference can do so. Yet both of these men have the leading charges in the conference and the money they bring to annual conference pays the cost of cost of the conference expenses. And, most of all, both of these men seem to have no time to spend in bringing before presiding elders or the other men in the conference. Bishop Tyree is a strong man intuitively. He has distinguished himself as a bishop in his great church, but, will be, as bishop of this district, permit one of his men whom he appointed to work in Long Island to be held back because, as openly declared, "no transfer shall be elected to the next general conference." Such a slogan is an indirect thrust at Bishop Tyree for appointing the Rev. Mr. Carpenter to Brooklyn It is unquestionably true that if the sign of the New York annual conference were as busy just now in finding out by what right of law their presiding elders took money for their personal use from the records of the last annual conference at Elmira, N. Y., and mapped in one way, over the heads of the printing committee, to keep that fact out of the annual conference minutes; if they were to seek the reason why the names of a number of ministers and the amounts of money disbursed to them because of their being underpaid is printed publicly, yet nothing is printed about the money which the presiding elders took from the money those ministers who were "published" brought to the annual conference; if they were always just now in asserting that no man not living with his wife could be a "big" man in the conference, if the voters of th. New York annual conference were to attend to these things which are essential to the good work of any religious body; then, undoubtedly, a man like the Rev. Mr. Carpenter, whose record can be searched with a two-tooth comb, would not be held up for defeat, nor would his bishop be thus charged in the face for appointing such a man to Bridge Street Church. ONE WAY FOR AMERICA TO FIGHT BOLSHEVISM FOR THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK AU- TOM, BOLSIEWS seeks to destroy all all- territory forms of government and out- sourize forms of government servi- cary for its founders. All true citizens of America have national and they have the insigna- ture of their nation's institutions. They have compelled upon the basis of liberty and true democracy. Heaven al- ways who are true Americans, do not suffer and are against an in- surgence of the law and permen- ent government and institutions, and work for the common good. But have not Americans themselves made it possible for Bolsie- ws to take a terrible hold to sow the propaganda. We allow the Lord's laws to be imposed on and trampled upon by the State. We allow laughing and burning of human beings. We allow the formation of Knjai Clans, formed to pillage and bustier and calculated to strike terror writen the heart of innocent, helpless people. We allow mobs to gather and declare Sunday a picnic day, when thousands and thousands gather together to witness the burning of human desk and closet. Does not this strike at the very whole of our Republic? Does not all this compromise us in our dealings with the rest of the world? Ah, worse so, far, we must all this compromise us in the very sight of Mighty God. 12. Bobcicks know this; they hear about the disregard for law there in America, where such thunts are allowed and winked at and where those in power plainly prouds that they cannot interfere with State Rights. Conscription interfered with State Rights but we had it liberty. Loans interfered with State Rights but we had them. The suppression of lynching and mob law will no more interfere with State Rights than these did. Prohibition interfered with State Rights but we are getting it. If we would keep Bobshivam out of Nairobi we can effectively be taken in the nines out of our own eye. As the government teaches them to urging us to buy bonds and stamps, so the government teaches us how to become healthy and strong physically by stamping out both some diseases, as the government teaches us how to get rid of weeds that destroy crops and flowers, and vegetation, so let the government teach the States how to respect law and order from our end of this land to the other. When the Bobshivam know that we are doing this they will be afraid; they will die. The most dangerous Bolsheviks to America are not the ones imported, for they can be easily handled; but the real danger lies in the domestic made Bolsheviks who, because they belong to America seek to impulse saved motives to unrighteous acts and thus insidiously and surreptitiously strike at the land that gives them birth and that continually gives them protection.

The only part of Dr. Moton omitted was his advice to soldier certain subject, which was the cause of his visit to France for Department. This is what Dr. Motton said. "The record you have made war, of faithfulness and leave loyalty, has deepened my tenderness men and soldiers as well as in and country. You have been proudly tested during the past year at half. You have suffered hard many privations. You have been upon to make many sacrifices have been asked, and properly your lives for our country responded to that-call like other Americans, and have placed all at your country's disposal of England and Belgium and the nations with whom we are situated in a stupendous struggle nation or any group of nations but for humanity and the only as they are willing and protect the best interests of their beings. Your record, boys, has only a little of joy and satisfaction to the hearts of millions and millions of black and white American citizens, rich and poor, and how Black mothers and white sweethearts, fathers and friends, have embraced with you and with ours in your record. In war you have to test and won, but a far greater and a much more doubtful test awaits you now than you faced during the past year and a half. It is a great test and a very much more grave and important battle than you have fought before. This is a battle not against Germans, but this against Americans, not against white Americans, but against black Americans. The battle is against the men whose faces I look. It is your individual personal battle. It is a battle of self-control, the pastimes and desires, the battle against laziness, shiftyness, wilfulness. You have fought to make the world safe for democracy. You and I want democracy but the only sure way of getting democracy is having it within ourselves. The problems of the world you will find solved when you get back home. You must be prepared to meet difficulties just as trying and perhaps more than before you came across.

Miss Bowler, who feels so keenly at all times the responsibility of a united girlhood, in her usual strong and sympathetic appeals pictured so clearly the duty that should be involved upon every woman to help develop this girlhood into the highest type of womanhood. Several meetings were held during the evenings to which the public was invited and through these meetings the citizens were brought into closer touch and a better knowledge of what the association has been and is still doing. Few cities could be found more suitable for such a training course than Louisville, for in it is located an association building, model in equipment, comfort and spirit of hospitality; factories galore in which many colored girls and women are employed and where industrial conditions were observed first hand. Camp Taylor, a few miles from the city, has a hostess house complete in structure and modern equipment, so that observation added a great deal to information obtained through lectures. No women went away from the course who did not feel a deeper sense of responsibility to the organization she represents; to the girlhood she has elected to protect, and to the Christianity she has accepted, as the basis for her living.

It ia mot in any sense a race question mor should it be con- atrued as such. In the problem of vending entertainers to France we have been guided by the requests which have been sent to the Y. M. C.

Upon the opening of the Y. M. ¢ C. A. work overseas the War Per- sonnel Board did net send over colored secretaries until specific | requests came for them.

We also know why only three colored women were sent abroad as can- teen workers-during the war. We sur- gest that the less said on these subjects the better. What we are primarily interested in at this time is the sending of colored entertainers overseas, and if not, why not? We contend that Deas & Dazie did perfectly right in bringing their grievance to the press, and we advise all other colored performers who are dis- criminated against. by the Overseas League of the Y. M. C. A. to do like- wise. Mr. Briscoe contends that no race is~ sue is involved in the refusal of the Overseas Theatre League to send Deas & Dazie to France.

But to allow waste matter to be "hold up" in your intentions may be far more serious. You can get more money; you can buy another watch. You may never be able to get your health back. Constitution is the "hold-up" man of the human system. The food waste it holds up in your lower intestines decays and generates poisoning. A poisoned system is the result. Over ninety percent of human illness has its origin in the intestinal canal. Nature normally tries to get rid of this pollenous waste. But when she can't do the work single-handed, you must help her in her own way. The LAXCARIN TREATMENT IS NATURE'S WAY. The oils, castor oils, mineral water habits are not nature's way. They play constipation's game—forcing and upsetting the system.* Laxcarin acts easily, harmlessly, naturally makes you "regular as clock-work." WARNING!!!! Laxcarin is sold only by the distributors and it may not be purchased in drug stores. Do not allow the drugists to pursue you into buying some cheap—and perhaps harmful—substitute. Write us direct, we will gladly mail you as much Laxcarin as you wish by return mail. You may suffer from substitutes. It is the best to order enough for a full treatment if it is a case of long standing, or if it is to be used as a family laxative. Six boxes only cost five dollars—but they are worth* to the sufferer a million times as much. One dollar will bring you one box. Send money order or registered letter in plain letters.
