(Special to The New York Am) St. Louis, Mo.—For the first time in the history of the Presbyterian Church the General Assembly, which held its one hundred and thirty-first session here placed itself on record against lynching, which was unanimously passed. The resolution, which was introduced in the Standing Committee by the Rev. William E. Williams of York, Pa., follows: Resolved, that the General Assembly place itself on record against the wicked and unlawful practice which is commonly called lynch law, and that ministers and people be urged to exert every influence in times of excitement to preserve the authority of duly constituted courts of justice. Dr. Goo. E. Cannon of Jersey City, N. L., made a protest in the Standing Committee for freedmen against the Presbyterian Church. Few Changes in Made by A. M.

Walter Mason, 0:30 a.m. with Bishop Evans Tyree Bishop I. N. Ross of West Africa. Dr. Wilson was elected. It was whispered about during the conference that the article which ap- peared in THE ACK some weeks ago in which fair play was demanded for the Rev. W. Spencer Carpenter was the cause of his defeat. It is said that both of the pastors of the leading charge in the New York Conference were defeated by what is known as the Long Island District Ministerial machine, which worked solidly against any man who could not be counted on to support the candidacy of the Rev. C. P. Cole for the Bishopric. Bishop Tyre made a stirring address to the conference the day before election asking the men to not defeat any man solely because he had a large charge or that he was a transfer to the Conference. But even his words, which were fatherly and filled with good counsel, failed to have any impression on the machine which had been made for the purpose of crushing the men who happened to be representative pastors in the conference. In questioning some of the members (Continued on Seventh Page) Congressman Reuben L. Haskell of Brooklyn, was loudly cheered Saturday evening, May 24, at the big mass meeting held at Madison Square Garden, called by the Association Opposed to National Prohibition, when he said he proposed to fight in Congress for the observance of the Fourteenth Amendment, declaring that he believed Government agents should be required to hunt evidence of unconstitutional treatment of the Negro in the South as well as unconstitutional making of liquor. "We have heard much said that it is no longer a matter of opposition to prohibition legislation," continued Congressman Haskell, "but that loyalty requires the giving of our approval to the eightteenth Amendment. In this connection I might say that we have long had as a part of the Constitution the Fourteenth Amendment, which is best known for the failure to enforce it; and it does seem to me appropriate at this time that we might well give our attention to the enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment. "The Fourteenth Amendment provided that there should be no denial of the right of franchise or the abridgment of the right of citizenship. When an act is offered in Congress providing for the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment, with provisions for a secret service staff and other, supervisory instrumentalities for the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment I shall propose an amendment thereto which will require the same instrumentalities to direct their efforts, with equal energy toward the enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment. His View of Democracy. "My view of democracy is that the individual is only required to sacrifice such privileges as are essentially necessary to be sacrificed to protect people in a state of society with reference to their lives, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness, and that anything beyond this rend toward the creation of a dictatorship and should not be allowed." Father John L. Bedford, rector of the Church of the Nativity, Brooklyn, in speaking against prohibition said in part: "People say, 'How did this measure come to succeed?' I will tell you how it came. It was born in a band of fanatics. They managed to get the South interested, not because the white people in the South wanted prohibition—they wanted it for the Negro, just the same as they have refused in the South to enforce the Fourteenth and the Fifteenth Amendments. They were willing to enforce prohibition for the Negro, but not for the white man, just the same as in the South today the ballot is for the white man and is not for the Negro. "Armed at their success in the South and in the West, they found that by real earnest effort and by using the lawful and, some of the unlawful means which they did employ they could whip into line the cowardly members of certain Legislatures. "Just think of that injustice! Thirteen States out of the forty-eight 10,000,000 people opposed to the 110,000,000 people can keep that amendment on the statute books of the United States." DAY, MAY 31, 1919. XME. WALKER WALKER AND VILLE MME. WALKER AND VILLA LEWARO OUR OWN POGROMS Referring to the massacres of Jews in Poland, Roumania and Galicia, the Senate has unanimously passed Senator Calder's resolution requesting the President to inform the Peace Conference that the Senate and the American people generally "deplore acts of violence and cruelty committed against men, women and children because of race or religion." There can be no doubt that the Senate and the American people ought to view everything of this description with horror and execration, but do they? In the last thirty years more than 3,000 persons, mostly colored, have been put to death in the United States by mobs. Hardly a week passes without some such tragedy. Only a few days ago Negroes were lynched in Arkansas and Mississippi, and the overcrowding after their bodies were burned may still be aglew. Nearly all of our lynchings have the same inspiration as the outrages Eastern Europeope which have shocked civilization. If President were to inform the Peace Senate deplores race hatred in the Old World, what would he be able to say if some member questioned him as to the attitude of that body tow-ard race hatred within its own jurisdiction? Its record on this subject for many years past has been a blank. Lynch law in Europe exists only in misgovernned countries bordering on anarchy. In the United States it is practised in communities otherwise urgently. We need not be surprised, therefore, by the fact that many Europeans are unable to comprehend the American character, and that they will be still more mystified by the Senate's resolution. —New York World.

C.—There is no better indication of how colored people are thinking of the future than to note the report of the Mechanics and Farmer Bank of Durham. The report of this enterprising Negro bank shows that within the last year, its resources have increased from $73,000 to $133,000. This bank has shown its patriotism by purchasing $2,000 worth of Liberty Bonds and $933 worth of War Savings Stamps. It is showing royalty to Our Boys by employing two returned soldiers as cashier and teller. BEST EDITED-BEST KNOWN. AME WA ERING I Mrs. Lelia Wa Succeeds Moth Mme. C. J.

C. J. Walker, generally regarded as the world's richest Negro woman, who died Sunday morning at her country home, Villa Lewaro from uraemic poison after a lingering illness. It is understood that several large bequests to individuals also have been made. During April and May of this year Madame Walker gave $25,000 to colored organizations and institutions. Intimate friends believe she fully realized the seriousness of her condition and wanted to do what she could for deserving race institutions before passing away. When she became suddenly ill in St. Louis the week before Easter Madame Walker added a codicil to her will which included colored institutions of learning and organizations making a light to secure the Negro his rights. to perpetuate the goods and products of the Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company and to that end early in 1911 she incorporated her business under the name of the Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company with the main office in Indianapolis, Ind. As such the company has been doing business ever since "Two years ago, realizing that her health was rapidly failing, Mme. Walker gathered about her experienced and competent employees, reorganized her board of directors and turned her vast business Mme. C. J. Walker, who won wealth and fame as the manufacturer of atomic to grow hair, left a fortune estimated at more than $1,000,000. The Madame C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company is doing a large and profitable business. Besides, Madame Walker was heavily interested in real estate, owning considerable property in New York, Chicago, Indianapolis, Gary, Los Angeles and Savannah. The value of her property in New York alone is placed at $700,000. Some months ago she was offered $400,000 for the Villa Lewaro which she moved into last August. High class apartment houses on Riverside drive and in other exclusive residential sections of New York were owned by this shrewd and highly successful business woman. Refused to Remain Inactive. Madame Walker's death came as no big surprise to the public, as the news had been spread about several weeks ago that her condition was critical and recovery doubtful. Over a year ago she was advised by her physicians to lead a less strenuous life because of high blood pressure. Madame Walker found it exceedingly difficult to remain inactive for any length of time, taking an active interest in her business affairs as well as matters pertaining to race unplift. Early in April Madame Walker left New York for Indianapolis, where the factory and business offices of the Madame C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company are located. After remaining there a few days she went to St. Louis to deliver an address at the Coliseum. She was the guest of Mr. and Mrsf C. K. Robinson, 3404 LaSalle street, and had been in the Mound City only a short time when she became seriously ill. Prominent St. Louis specialists were called in, and upon showing some improvement she was brought from St. Louis to New York, accompanied by Dr. W. P. Curtis and a trained nurse. Madame Walker was then taken to her home, Villa Lewaro where the best medical attention was given, and although she made a pluely fight to live, the physicians were psemistic as to the outcome. Leading specialists pronounced her case hopeless. On Monday, May 19, Madame Walker became unconscious and remained in a state of coma until her death at 7:30 Sunday morning, Major J. H. Ward, her family physician, and Dr. Elworth Smith were in attendance. Funeral Friday Morning. The date of the funeral was set in Friday in order to give Mrs. Lela Walker Robinson an opportunity to attend home in Panama. The daughter was from Panama. The daughter for the farm, and while in Panama perished word to come home immensely as her mother was dangerously ill. Last week a cable was received from Mrs. Robinson announcing that she had settled for the United States and would land at New Orleans. Up to Thirsty morning nothing had been heard from her. Funeral services will be held at the Vina Lawerre Friday morning at 10:30. The active pallbearers selected are: R. Moore, Edward Talbert of Lafaye, John B. Nall J. Rösmond Mohsen, N. W. Tandy and Thomas E. Taylor. The funeral will be kept in a vault in Woodhawn Cemetery and there will be no interment until the arrival of Mrs. Robinson. Death Will Not Affect Management of Business. The death of Mme. C. J. Walker will in no manner effect a radical change in the management of the Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company. The following statement was made to Tm. Ace by F. M. Ransom of Indianapolis, representative and business manager for Madame Walker, bearing on it. C. J. Walker's one desire was Funeral Friday Morning.

C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company and to that end early in 1911 she incorporated her business under the name of the Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company with the main office in Indianapolis, Ind. As such the company has been doing business ever since "Two years ago, realizing that her health was rapidly failing, Mme. Walker gathered about her experienced and competent employees, reorganized her board of directors and turned her vast business over to same. Under this new management, which is the present management the company has measured up to the high standard that made Mme. C. J. Walker hair preparations famous the world over "Because of her wise forethought, he unfortunate passing away at this time will in no wise affect the management of the Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company. Madame Walker's high trained and amiable daughter, Mrs. Lilia W. Robinson, will succeed her a president of the company. There will be no other changes." Counselor Ransom also declared to an Ack representative that the statement appearing in some of the New York dailies that Samuel A. Singerman has been Madame Walker's attorney for years was untrue; that some years ago Singerman had represented the decease in a real estate transaction and at another time had he done business for Madame Walker. Madame C. J. Walker's remarkable rise from poverty to riches is well known to millions of Negroes in the United States and elsewhere. She was born December 25, 1807, at Delta, La. She married when in her teens, and at the age of twenty moved to St. Louis, where for a number of years she did laundry work and had a hard-time making end meet. It was in St. Louis that Madame Walker discovered the preparation to grow hair on any head where the roots were not dead, which she sold in small quantities. She next moved to Denver, he soon disagreed over business matter with her husband, who thought that St. day was enough money to make. Being thoroughly convinced that her hair preparation would fill a long felt wang the couple separated and Madame Walker went into business for herself. Madame Walker's next move was to go on the road and introduce her good to colored women in the South. She soon realized that she needed a center point for distribution so she settled in Pittsburgh, where a home office was maintained from 1908 to 1910.

An essential need of the race at this time, in all movements for improving conditions, is a greater degree of harmony and concert of action. Where one organization is working in a given direction, it is better for that body to receive the united support of the race than to have another separate and distinct organization started for the same purpose. Then in the discussion of the grievances to be corrected and the best means to achieve that end, there should be more toleration for differences of opinion. Agitation should be conducted along sane and sensible lines, so as not to alienate the support of those friends of the race, who are lending their help to the cause. Denunciation of all people who are white as is senseless as the discriminations practiced against all people who are colored. There should be a distinction made between those who are against us and those who are with us. There is too much inflammatory oratory that gets nothing in practical results, but only stirs up resentment and bad feeling. There should be a greater degree of loyalty to race interests and a greater unanimity in upholding those who are laboring toward that end. Personal differences and petty rivalries should be subordinated to the greater object in view, the fight against prevailing injustices and discriminations that bar the race from an equal part in the fruits of a world wide democracy. Let those who are laboring toward the same end show a broader spirit of tolerance and helpfulness, no matter how their methods and policies may differ. It should be a case of all roads leading to Rome, and the only spirit of rivalry should be as to which can mark the greatest progress. A REMARKABLE WOMAN. The passing away of Mrs. Sarah J. Walker, better known as "Madam Walker," marks the removal of a remarkable personality. She was remarkable not only as a woman who possessed business instincts as well as executive ability that combined to put her in the too brief list of Negro millionaires, but she revealed qualities beyond those of mere money-making. Mrs. Walther demonstrated the fact that despite limited educational advantages during the early part of her career, she had both the ability and the desire to cultivate the intellectual part of her nature. She studied assiduously to master the elementary requirement that would enable her to deal with the intellectual phases of current questions affecting the race and the community at large. Her success in these particulars was due to the native persistence and adaptability, that contributed to her rise along business lines. She possessed a breadth of vision and grasp of the situation that were shown in her live interest and ready co-operation in all movements tending toward the uplift of the race with which she was identified. For above all things, Mrs. Walker felt and tes- tified by her frequent and generous donations a lively interest in all movements having for their object the benefit and elevation of the Negro race. Her recent donation of five thousand dollars toward the Anti-Lynching movement was the latest, though not the sole, manifestation of this sentiment. The career of this self-made woman should be an incentive and an inspiration to all members of the race to work zealously and persistently to develop the field of endeavor that may open to them. The result should not only be financial success for the individual but the ability to help the race on its upward stride. PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER. Although the national conventions for the nomination of Presidential candidates, are over a year off, there has already begun a taking stock of Presidential timber on both sides of the fence. On the Democatic side no one man'yet appears who can outweigh in strength the present holder of the Presidential office. The claims of Mr. Bryan as a perennial candidate seem at last to have been laid at rest by his brief career in the office of Secretary of State, Mr. McAdoo, despite the admirable manner in which he administered the Treasury during the war, seems to have removed himself from the running. Unless a dark horse appears, it looks as if the Democrats will have to pin their hopes of victory on President Wilson. And despite the sentiment against the third term he will be the strongest candidate they could name. On the other hand, the Republicans have a greater number of available candidates to pick from, though objections as to section and previous disability may be raised against some of them. Beginning with New York State, ex-Senator Elihu Root still maintains his position of pre-eminence as to ability and character. But the objection as to age will probably prevail against him. Former Justice Hughes undoubtedly ranks next as to strength, but would have the disadvantage of a previous failure at the polls urged against him. But as his defeat was due to the division of Republicans, rather than to the strength of the opposition, this should not be an irremovable obstacle. Turning to Ohio, so prolific in providing Presidential candidates, former President Taft looms up on the horizon as capable and perhaps willing to serve the country again. Barring his former weakness of catering to the South, Mr. Taft might make as acceptable a candidate as any, with his previous experience to guard him against previous errors. Former Governor Herrick of Ohio seemed at one time to present elements of strength, but since his return as amia-sador from France little has been heard of him. Going to the Pacific Coast, Senator Johnson of California shows signs of strength, but his progressive proclivities, as well as his geographical location, seem to be against him. Whoever the candidate may be,old-time Republican or Progressive,he will need the united support of the party to win. He must be right on all the great questions before the country at present. Especially must he be right on the great question of equal and exact justice to all citizens, without discrimination on account of race or color. QUESTION OF HEALTH The New York Medical Journal is a weekly review of medicine established in 1843. It is an authoritative exponent of the medical profession, containing valuable contributions on original topics by leading physicians and surgeons. In the issue of May 17 appeared a most significant article, relating to health conditions among Negroes entitled "The Health Question of the Man Next Door," written by Dr. Algernon B. Jackson of Philadelphia. VIEWS and REVIEWS THE EDUCATIONAL CONSPIRACY. A very thoughtful letter has come to me from the principal of a school in one of the cities of Georgia. In this letter he justly complains about some of the text books that colored school children are obliged to study, especially geographies. He says: "Among other discouraging things by commission and omission geographers print pictures of the lowest type of Negroes to represent the race, while they show the highest development of other peoples to represent their kind. * * * In this particular geography almost a half page is taken up with the cut of a half naked African savage as a representative of Negroes the world over. * * * In the first grade a colored child is given a primer filled with pictures of white children. It is not until he reaches the fourth, fifth or sixth grade, varying with different schools, that he learns that anything is said or done by anybody except white people, and sometimes by Indians. After that, the sum total of what he learns of himself is somewhat as follows: 'Negroes pick cotton, dip turpentine and load cotton on Mississippi steamboats (mainly from pictures); slavery once existed in the United States and had some connection with the Civil War (from the Southerner's viewpoint); Negroes belong to the savage. Ethiopian race.' One text I know, after giving a physical description of the Negro race, is generous to add this brief statement for ninth grade students: 'The moral and intellectual status of the Negro in his native land is low; when brought in contact, however with the Caucasian race he shows himself capable of considerable development.' Under these conditions, is it not a wonder that Negroes have any pride in themselves at all?" Our correspondent has not over emphasized this matter, and there is no doubt that it is something over which every intelligent colored school teacher in the country is concerned. The writer himself can remember with what a revolting shock he read in, his first geography that the Negro was the lowest of all the races on earth. He can remember also the pictures which represented the various races; the white race represented by a figure with a head like a Greek philosopher, the face adorned with flowing and aristocratic whiskers, and the shoulders draped in the latest style Prince Albert coat of the period. Of course, this picture resembled the majority of the Florida "crackers" that the writer saw around the town in which he first went to school about as much as a newspaper cut resembles a painting by Raphael; nevertheless, there it was as the type of the white race. Then came the types representing the other races, representing them in a descending scale through the yellow race, the brown race, the red race, down to the black race; this latter being represented by the least developed African savage that could be found or imagined. It has been a good many years since we have looked into a school geography, but we have no doubt that the same picture is still being used to represent the black race. This educational conspiracy which keeps the Negro in the United States from learning anything creditable about his race and which impresses him with the overwhelming superiority of the white man is nothing peculiar to this country; it is only a part of the great conspiracy which has been going on all over the world for the past few hundred years; that is, ever since the modern white race came into power. It appears that races reach the summit of power not by claiming that they are equal to other races, but by believing and preaching that they are superior to all other races. It has not been so very long ago since the swarthy races around the edge of the Mediterranean Sea looked down with the utmost contempt on the fair haired barbarians to the north of them. Those fair haired barbarians are today ruling the world and insisting upon their absolute superiority, a claim which would have caused a laugh throughout the whole civilized world of two thousand years ago. When a man goes back through the historic records of the human race, and then projects his mind farther back Through the prehistoric records, if he has any mind at all he must be impressed with the absurdity of the seriousness with which various races have taken their temporary "superiority." First it has been one people and then another; race superiority is merely a matter of dates in history. The In this article Dr. Jackson first shows that the Negro is not altogether an unhealthy menace, as he has been regarded, and that he should get a human chance to preserve his health integrity. The high death rate and ill health accredited to the race is due to the fact that he is the victim of circumstances imposed by American prejudice, not because of any racial defect. That the race is beginning in a small way to overcome the conditions making for ill health is noted by Dr. Jackson, although he states that those who are devoting their lives to this work are not getting the support that they should from either race. The policy of segregation adopted in some cities is cited as evidence that all Negroes are not content to live amid vicious surroundings forced upon them. Welfare work in the part of large corporations for Negro employees is one of the things urged by the writer. All in all the article is to be considered as a distinct gain for the cause of health advancement, both on account of its vigorous and outspoken treatment, as well as the medium in which it appears. All those interested in the health problems of the race should read it. CONTEMPT The brutal spirit engendered and confirmed by the practice of mob murder and lynching is strikingly exemplified by several incidents at- tending a recent lynching in Mississippi. Commenting on the fact that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People sent a telegram to Governor Bilbo requesting information concerning the fate of Eugene Green, the Jackson Daily News said: The Governor is not in the city, and the telegram has not been answered. However, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People need not remain in the dark, concerning the fate of Green. He was "advanced" all right from the end of a rope and in order to save burial expenses his body was thrown into the Yarago river. The Clarion-Ledger's account of lynching states that the sheriff was notified when the mob reached the jail, but he did not reach the calaboose until the prisoner was gone, although thirty or forty minutes were required to saw off the locks. The account continues: Mr. Turner did not wake the jailer or pursue the mob, as he said he thought it useless, but made inquiry of Jesse Jones, who was rooming nearby, if he knew anything about the affair. Learning nothing he went back home and went to sleep. "Wen to sleep!" No wonder the judge held that Sheriff Turner had failed to perform his duty. Whether or not such conduct was a contempt of court was to be determined later. Like the comment of the Jackson Daily News, the sheriff's conduct showed the contempt of law and order provailing in that section of Mississippi. people of Anglo-Saxon and Teutonic stock have been the "superior" race for less than five hundred years, and yet to hear them boast one would conclude that they invented civilization. The truth is, they have not originated a single one of the fundamental elements of which civilization is founded: letters, numbers, philosophy, science, mechanics, literature, the arts, the drama, even religion were all originated and developed before they came on the scene. And furthermore, what good reason is there to think that the civilization of which we have a record, made up of the successive leaderships of the various races, is the only civilization that the world has seen? It is well established that man has been on the earth for a period of fifty million years, at least. There lived in France twenty million years ago men who were not essentially different from the men who live there to-day. Is it then reasonable to think that the only civilization the world has seen is the one that has existed during the last five or six thousand years? Is it not more reasonable to think that there have been many cycles of civilizations that have risen and flourished and died before the present one, and that the present one will not be the last? All this, no doubt, seems far from where we started; yet it leads to the point that the Negro needs to learn, to know and, to believe in his own superior qualities. He will not get to the place he hopes to reach by simply feeling that he will some day equal the white man if he is only given a fair chance. What he needs to know is that in many qualities he is the superior of the white man. He needs to know these qualities, to believe in them, and insist on them. Especially are the Negroes who live in the South superior in many ways to the whites among whom they live. This may be accounted for partly by the fact that the Negroes have not had the opportunity to be mean and brutal and cruel, and inhuman that the whites have had for more than two hundred years. The Negroes must learn the points in which they are a superior people to the whites of the South; then they must believe in these qualities and take pride in them. But let us consider one of these qualities the mention of which will, perhaps, astonish even colored people: taken as a whole, the Negroes of the South are a better looking people than the whites. Take the women; there are no feminine specimens in the world less attractive than the sallow, scrawny, stringy haired, ungraceful white women that inhabit the rural and backwoods districts of the South; and they make up the majority of the white women of the entire South. The colored women are much handsomer by every physical measure that might be applied; they are better formed, carry themselves better, are fuller of life and vivacity, and as a rule are never ungraceful. Negroes have not realized this fact, and merely because they have had it mutilated into them and impressed upon them that only what is white can be beautiful. It will, of course, be a very difficult thing for the Negro to come to know and believe in his own best qualities so long as the first books placed in the hands of a colored child are such as are complained of in the letter quoted above. Something ought to be done about this school book question, and something can be done. We cannot believe that any colored teacher will allow colored pupils to accept unchallenged the statement that the Negro is the lowest race of the human family. Let colored teachers dig out the history of the Negro, not only in this country but in the world—and it will be found to be one of which we may in many respects feel proud—and let them refute these "lowest race" statements with historical facts. Colored teachers should also write letters of protest to publishers of text books that make such statements. A publisher is in the business to make money, and if one of them received letters from several hundred teachers complaining about certain of his books he would sit up and take notice. There is no reason why a text book designed for American children, when it speaks of the Negro race should not take into account the present development of that race in America. This would be desirable not only for the education of colored but also of white American children. Then, there are some books already written which should be stroked by all colored children. There are several histories written by colored men which can without any difficulty be introduced in all private schools which are attended by colored children. An effort should also be made to introduce these books into the colored public schools. This matter is largely in the power of the colored school teachers, and it is one which they ought to take up and handle. A WORTH. WHILE SERVICE. To the EDITOR of This New York Act: During the period of the war, you kindly sent its your paper for our reading rooms. This has been a worth while service, and we want to take this opportunity to thank you. We also wanted to say that with the small numb; now in camp this service can be discontinued. Again thanking you, we are. for true democracy. All we want is a chance. W. H. W. COCHRELL, Memphis, Teen. MISGUIDED AGITATION Atlanta Constitution.

To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: They say give us a chance, so we were given a chance in this present war and the people over the seas said that we made good on the battlefield. In the Divisional Headquarters the men were found doing clerk work; writing short-hand and operating typers for the government. After being discharged from the service a soldier related a little story to the writer like this: I went to the employment bureau; they told me it was operated by the government for securing work for returned soldiers. I was given a literary test, worked some examples in math, and a conductor said they were correct. I had taken notes, and also did clerk work in the army. So, to my surprise, I was-sent to a lumber yard to get a job. I could have obtained that job without the assistance of any one. I wasn't employed there by the employer, so I returned the card, that was given me by the secretary of the bureau. Now, that is one of the difficulties with which a race man meets in this prejudiced field of labor. All that we know about him means that the one on the front. While I am ready to capture the world, we were there with a helping hand, giving our lives for true democracy. All we want is a chance. Wst. H. W. Cochrell. Memphis, Teen. MISGUIDED AGITATION Atlanta Constitution. It is unfortunate that in the constructive work he is doing for the benefit and welfare of the Negroes of America Dr. R. R. Moton, the worthy successor of Booker T. Washington as head of Tuskegee Institute, should be hampered by radical opposition within the race. It seems that the chief "offense" Dr. Moton has committed consists of having advised the colored troops in France to be modest and unassuming when they return to their homes in America, rather than to be ostentatious and braggal. White soldiers are accustomed to receive this advice from those of their own race, who are interested in them. They accept and profit by it and are the better men for it. It is too bad that when a Negro leader who is really trying to serve his people and whose sole purpose is to elevate their status, offers wise counsel to Negro soldiers he should be vilified by the radicals of his own race. Motton has done and is doing a wonderful work for his people, as the worthy successor of Booker Washington. He is being ably supported and assisted by many wise leaders of the race, North and South. It is unfortunate for the race that the good work of such men should be impeded by agitators and jealous disturbers of their own race. Listening to the intemperate and ill-advised counsel of such Negroes as those who are fighting Motton and the sentiment he represents will hold the Negro back and keep race prejudice and race friction alive. The returning Negro soldiers are apparently taking the Motton view of the matter, for they are conducting themselves with becoming pioneers. VERBALANCE IS THING.

Daily Gazette. Judge John S. Candler, speaking in the last general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, which convened last month, gave assurance the following remarks explaining fairness and equality of the distribution of the public school funds between the races: "In my State Negroes pay practically but two or three per cent of all the taxes, but we give them dollar for dollar in the public schools, the same amount per capita as we give our white children and we ought to do it. They need the education. Public education is intended for the ignorant and for the ones who need it, and I would not have our Southern States do differently. But when people get up here and say that we have not treated them fairly, we have we have our own children, it is not true. They have their rights and their privileges in our public schools, as they ought to have, and we have tried to help them in their schools all we can; and as they grow older we are going to help them more." The above is misinformation. Yes, it is more than misinformation. It is not borne out by the facts and, therefore, is untrue. Judge Candler had to consult statistics, with which he is familiar, to convince himself that his statement was calculated to mislead not only the church but the people of America, it coming from so high an authority. The Candlers represent in the South what we call the better class of white people. By birth, education, wealth and intelligence they represent the Southern thought and conscience. They represent for Judge Candler's grave misrepresentation of the facts in the case on the ground that he had not taken the trouble to post himself and perhaps on the other theory that the general feeling in the South that education of the Negro makes him less valuable as a bearer of burdens. At all events it was a grave mistake on Judge Candler's part. The Atlanta Independent took him sharply to task in the matter and showed from the records that he had falsified the facts most egregiously in his statement that the public school funds are distributed between the black children and the white children, dollar for dollar as the judge claimed. Let us take Pike County, Georgia, as the census gives the population in 1911 and the Government's report shows in 1915: White Negro Population, 1910.....9,334 10,119 Children 6 to 14 of age 1,961 2,756 Teachers' salaries.....$34,619 $5,335 It is clear, fifty miles of Jake County with a city of ten miles of Jake Candler's home, white teachers are seven times as much money for teaching 1,961 children as the Negro teachers are paid for teaching 2,756. These figures are taken from the Government's report. Let us take Fulton County, in which Judge Candler spoke: White No. Population, 1910 102,861 $1,961 Children to 14 years 16,086 $1,811 Teachers' salaries $385,913 $3,811 Teachers' salaries per child $23.99 $4.1 Percentage illiterate 2.2 2.9 Thus, you see, for every white child the State of Georgia, in Fulton County, paid $23.99, and for every black child $4.81. The school population is only two whites to one Negro; yet each white child received five times as much money as one Negro child, and yet Judge Candler tells you in the Church of God that the Negroes receive dollar for dollar opportunities and advantages along with the white child in the distribution of the public school funds. Let us consider Burke County, southeast Georgia: White New Population, 1910 ... 4,805 22,230 Children 6 to 14 years. ... 969 5,511 Teachers' salaries ... $20,490 Teachers' salaries per child ... $21.14 Percentage illiterate. ... 4.2 Judge Candler seems not to have served that Burke County county and one-half times as much for teaching 969 white children as it did teaching 5,524 black children. Thus, the facts, as ascertained from words, which put to shame Judge Candler's false statement. And did you notice, a day or two that another Southern Legislature had it a legal crime for a white person to teach colored school—a heirloom law. Two of a Kind.

Walker NO MORE VARAME JESSIE CARTER (Continued from first page.) Mahame Walker visited Indianapolis and was so favorably impressed with the city she decided to move the home close to the Indiana capital. Then she opened a factory, where it will remain for geographical reasons. At the time of her death the Mine, C. J. Walker Company employed fifty-five people in the factory. Four traveling representatives are on the road and six local representatives are on the pay roll in New York. There are 20,000 agents using the "Madame Walker System" and they may be found throughout the United States, South America, West Africa, and Africa. The last public statement was made by Madame Walker on her sick bed in St. Louis, when she subscribed $4,000 in Victory Bonds and issued the followings tocolored Americans which appended "F.A.A.A. 3." May I take advantage of your valuable paper to urge upon my agents and customers the importance of purchase of Victory Bonds at this time? To my mind it cannot be too strongly emphasized that our boys have done their best, brought home victory to our great cause and have finished the job, leaving it clearly up to the great army back home to make the victory complete and cover the top on this side of the water, We were loyal and patriotic during every stage of the great struggle and because of that loyalty we will go down in history as one element of American university that did not shirk or balk duty called Let us in this last campaign subscribe so promptly and literally when called upon by the campion workers that there will be no uni- niversity as to where the Negro stands in these, the closing days of this great race. "I want to live to help my race," was the last request Mme. Walker was heard make before she became unconscious.

T. MARK'S M. E. CHOIR'’S growing popularity and the respect- Ss ful consideration it commands in the commupity as a singing organization were emphasized Monday evening at Carnegie Hi bythe presence,of a large audience-made up of both races. Although program conveyed the information, that the choir was giving a “coatert of Negro songs,” the numbers rendered varied from spirituals .t0 opera. * eg ee ee ee —thsmeelves in what they can do best also in what they can do in an ordi nary manner. In the Negro eens uals the choir was at its best. numbers as Nobody Kage wes sung with feeling power. the other hand, it was necessary to invoke charitable’ consideration im commenting on the rendition of “Martha.” Prof. E. Aldama Jackson, who-is responsible for the Success attained by St. Mark’s M. E. Choir, declares that his aim is to teach those under him all ‘kinds of music. res sane and commendable ition. The Negro has as much right to pftudy all kinds of music as the Cau- éasian. He has the natural capac- ity for music and me = wen couraged to aspire for the highest. To me, however, the wisdom of “showing us off” as beginners in- stead of permitting‘us at all times to put our best foot forward, is.a question. When a child, learning to play a piano or a violin, is by its parents’ to perform for com- pany. invariably the selection is that with which the youngster is most familiar. It does not choose’ ad- vanced pieces merely to give an in- dication of its possibifities or as- Pirations. . Usually we put our estimate * things by’ comparison. When heard the St. Marks Cote eke body Knows” I i in the fol- Towing soliloquy: Nove heard it sung better.” But in‘ “Martha” my mind reverted to scenes where I had ‘heard the opera before under more favorable conditions. | It is not to be taken that an in- artistic presentation of ‘Martha” was given. Far from it. This would have been hardly possible with such capable artists as Miss Minnie Brown, who scored in her solo work; Charles H. Waters, tenor, and Garfield H. Tarrant, baritone, in the cast; but it cannot be denied that in some of. the ambi- tious selections sung by the choir in previous years, “Hiawatha,” for instance, the rendition has been ac- centuated by more smoothness and intelligent interpretation. The artistic hit pf the evening was, made by Miss“Ethe! Clark, a soprano soloist who has blossomed into a colorature singer of no little ability. Songbirds of this variety either are good or bad. There is very little middle ground for those who essay to thrill and lavish ca- denzas upon their hearers. Miss Clarke has a trained voice and her one placements, whether top notes or otherwise, excited admiration. A more promising singer has not flashed across the local firmament for some time, and it would not be surprising if she sooner or later made more than a logal reputation. Prof. Jackson 2nd many of his -o-workers insist that St. Mark’s M. E. Choir is only a church choir and should not be regarded in a similar ight as some of the big white sing- ing organizations in New York. They also assert that the only rea- son the choir’appears yearly at Car- negic Hall is because St. Mark's M. E. Church proved too small to ac- commodate the large audiences in years gone by. All of this may be true, but the fact remains that St. Mark's M. FE. Choir is the most representative singing organization the race has to-day in New York; that it is be- ing more’ seriously regarded and highly respected each year, and for this reason it cannot remain in swaddling clothes, even if it should so desire. It will have to keep pate with the estimate the public has put upon it, “ It is impossible for me ‘to regard the clgir any longer as I would an amatenr. It has great possibilities if it only will take advantage of them, and for this reason I look upon’ its -work with a critical eye| and with but little charitable con- eee Hes cuttaily rabive baunalt fol He is gradually making bhmself fel in that realm of melody where op- portunities are ripe to being to fore America’s most distinctive style of nmsic. 2 ‘The program: | + Pat Ome $ SPee Mente 2 ilttee tary Femae voices) 3 Sta meere €. “Ta Trosbled in Mind" ‘Arranqroves by E, Alums Jeckson Pet Two - Je.
