A. workers, recently returning to America from France on the steamer Noordam, were segregated and humiliated in face of the valuable services they rendered to help make the world safe for democracy. Although many protests were made against this form of discrimination those in charge of the statement that "Jim Crowism" was necessary in order not to offend the white Southern workers NATION WIDE CAMPAIGN Movement to Increase Support of Educational Institutions Mission of Church Institute and Its Work Outlined The Episcopal Church has come to a recognition of the fact that the Great War, has awakened the race consciousness of the Negro, who is reaching out for education and character training. In recognition of this fact, the Episcopal nation-wide campaign proposes to enlarge its program of work among the face. An appeal for redoubled effort in the education and training of the Negro has been issued in connection with this campaign. In a special report to the managers the Rev. Dr. Robert W. Patton, himself a Southern man, and special representative of the American Church Institute for Negroes, as well as National Director of the Nation-Wide Campaign, says frankly: "The Great War has awakened the racial consciousness of the Negro as another event in the history of the war. Their appeal today, and it is a growing and insistent appeal, is that we give them a chance through education and character training, in the schools under the Church's direction, to prove themselves worthy of their citizenship and of their inheritance as sons and daughters of the living God. They have purchased the right by their sacrifice of labor, of treasure and of blood. Will we refuse to pay the debt?" Accordingly, in the mobilization of the resources of the Episcopal Church preparatory to embarking upon a campaign for after the war service, it is announced that the program of the Nation-Wide as well as the Every Name Campaign, which is the contribution of the Diocese of New York to the movement, will embody enlarged and intensive plans for work among the Negro population. An idea of the nature of the work that is being done by the Church through its Institute for Negroes is given in Dr. Patton's statement that scattered through the South are eight well equipped schools—though all of them are capable of 'great improvement' in which Negro boys and girls are being trained 'not only in Christian character and the regular grammar and high school features, but in special courses in the trades and industries, such as carpentry, masonry, printing, nursing, agriculture, cooking, dressmaking, etc. These eight schools are St. Paul's, at Lawrenceville, Va.; St. Augustine's, Raleigh, N.C.; the Fort Valley School, Fort Valley, Ga.; the Payne Divinity School, Petersburg, Va.; St. Athanasius' School, Brunswick, Ga.; St. Mark's, Birmingham; St. Mary's, Columbia, S.

A. workers is given by one who was a passenger on the Noordam: Twenty Y. M. C. A. workers left Paris, August 8, to embark at Boulogne, on the steamer Noordam for America. There were a white man appointed as leader of the men, a white woman as leader of the women and a colored man and woman as sub-leaders of the colored workers. Degreegation and discrimination had been practiced in many ways by the Americans in France, and so some were on the lookout for a similar move ahead the boat. It was not long before discrimination made it appearance. The white leader of the women hinted that the colored workers would be segregated in the dining-room. The women GRADUATE NURSES PROVE GOOD TALKERS Boston, Mass.—There was a large attendance at the opening session of the annual convention of the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses of America, which was held in Zion A. M. E. Church, Columbus avenue, August 19 to 22. The young women present formed a remarkably bright and intelligent group and in their addresses demonstrated that they are good public speakers as well as first class nurses. One of the features of the convention was the discussion of the project for establishing a central bureau for nurses to be located in New York City. The opening session was devoted largely to registration and interchange of greetings, about 100 graduates being present. Mrs. Adah B. Thomas, R. N. superintendent of the Lincoln Hospital New York, president of the Association, presided and other officers present included: Miss Bertha M. Thomas, R. N.; Louisville, Ky., recording secretary. Miss Petra Pinn, R. N., West Palm Beach, Fla., corresponding secretary: Mrs. Nannie L. Kemp, R. N., Philadelphia, treasurer. The honorary presidents and the executive committee. Mrs. William T.

Nicholas, second vice-chairman, presided Mrs. Wheaton of the Republican County Committee, who spoke, dwelt largely upon three main points—loyalty, harmony and co-operation. William H. Humphrey told of the policy which he adopted during the six years that he served as alderman for Erie County. He invited an investigation of his public career, and if the members were satisfied with his past record, he asked them to give him their support. Ollie C. Hall, the next speaker, expressed his gratification that the time has come when the women of our race have the ballot in their hands. He urged one and all to stand by the Republican Party and also illustrated the manner in which each member should use the booth when she votes. Mr. Seilheimer, secretary of the Republican County Committee, instructed the members to register on Oct 4 and distributed political calendars among them. Mrs. Annie Thomas Nicholas, Mrs. McKarrow and her, two sisters, Mrs. Rosa A. Jones, Mrs William Bethel, Mrs. George Gillead, expressed themselves as having come to receive instruction and felt pleased at having been so much enlightened. Mrs. Girard Millar, Mrs. J.

"In the evening when all were present to get their location at the tables the colored workers were seated, in an ob- secure and poorly ventilated section of the dining-room, with a long table of civilians separating them completely from the other welfare workers who wore the same uniform.

CHURCHMEN TO TAKE UP THE RACE PROBLEM At a meeting of Methodist churchmen to consider the Negro problem in the light of recent disturbances, a decision was reached to appoint a committee to investigate the subject. This committee will make inquiries to ascertain what part the Church can take in dispelling race feeling between whites and Negroes and in preventing future riots. It will make a report in the week to the administrative committee of the Federate Council of the church of Christ in America. Y. M. C. A. BUILDING TO OPEN IN OCTOBER In spite of the many delays caused by labor unrest, work on the West 135th Street Branch, Y. M. C. A building has been continuous and the committee of Management is anticipating the opening about the middle of October. The date for the rental of the rooms in the Dormitory will be announced in the near future. The rooms will be available for members of the Association and all those who contemplate securing a room are advised, to take out their membership at once. The entire cost of the building will be in the neighborhood of $380,000. In order to complete the work, the Board of Directors have been forced to borrow over $175,000. The committee of Management of the Branch is responsible for $45,000 of this amount and up to the present time they have raised about $10,000. The committee is anticipating a generous support on the part of the people of Harlem in order that this indebtedness may be liquidated, as interest will have to be carried until paid. Donations may be made at the Temporary Office, 135 West 135th Street. PASSES VIRGINIA BAR EXAMINATION. (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE) (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) Petersburg, Va.—Among those successfully passing the State Bar examination held in Charlottesville, Va. last week is B. F. Harris, of Petersburg. Young Mr. Harris is the son of Lawyer Alfred W. Harris and Mrs. Ira R. Harris, until recently of Ashton place, Dinwiddie County, but now of 806 Farmer street. Mr. Harris was a private student under his father until 1917, when he was called to the colors and saw service overseas with the famous Eighth Illinois as sergeant, Co. C. Upon his return to America he resumed his studies with the above mentioned result. The examinations were held at the University of Virginia; and of the five Negroes to apply he alone passed. TEACHER APPOINTED AT ALBANY (Special to The New York Age) Alberty, N. Y.—Miss Harriet Treadwell, daughter of Mrs. I. Everett, has obtained a position as teacher in public school No. 11 on Madison avenue. Miss Treadwell is an accomplished young woman, possessing traits of character that have endeared her to the community. Mrs. Hallie Craigwell, who was among the party of "Y" workers who returned from France a few weeks ago, had nothing but words of praise for the "lowly, stevedores," among whom she served while over there. Feeling that there was no greater or more deserving field of service, Mrs. Craigwell said: There was no group of men overseas more deserving of laurels than the colored stevedore. While all parts of the country were represented, the bulk of these men came from the heart of the South, presenting the epitome of the organized plans of oppression, systematically and energetically carried out by the white man of the South. With an overwhelming percentage of illiteracy, the results of the South's pernicious educational system, and in most instances under the command of young Southern white officers, exceeding them but little in intelligence, these men were selected for the dirty work of the A. E. F. "Whatever was accomplished in France by the A. E. F. it was these men who made it possible—their names should not remain unsung. When the fight was on, all ammunition and food supplies were handled by them, which involved hard and continuous labor and many were the lives lost through shell explosions, a false step in the dark or from hardships and diseases. Employed in night and day shifts, the regular tramp, tramp of the stevedore through the main street of St. Nazaire was an event by which clocks might be set and the sound of their return in the wee hours of the morning was not without pathos. "Many stories of privations and abuse during the war-times were related by them, but with magic change they became eager listeners to all advisory talks; earnest seekers after knowledge; and devout church worshippers and jolly fun-makers—without which ability they could not have" endured their bondage. It can most truly be said of them, that they didn't come back 'till 'twas over, over there; for theirs was the task of loading on the last fighting men who passed the porch of St. Nazaire. "Camp Lusitania, St. Nazare, was composed of about 8,000 men and had the largest 'Y' hut in France, and it was here that it was my honor and privilege to serve. From these men I learned much of instinctive loyalty to family, native desire to be at peace and splendid physical cleanliness and development—powers God given, which it seemed to be the one aim of Southern white man to destroys. Sad indeed is it that their reward for duty well done, in the torch, injustice and a reign of terror." HELP WANTED IP YOU WANT A JOB READ THE HELP WANTED ADS ON LAND BASE NEW JOBS FOR BACK WORK MOBILE PLAYGROUND TO COST $10,000 (Special to The New York Act) PIATEAU, ALA.—More than one thousand people assembled on the grounds of the Mobile County Training School of which Isaiah J. Whitley is principal Sunday afternoon, August 31, and listened to speeches by prominent men and women of the race. A special committee reported that after a canvass of the community they find that more than five hundred children will enroll in the Training School this session. In a speech, Ed Rhone, prominent labor leader, announced that the colored Longshoremen and Knights of Labor of Mobile had purchased a large tract of land in the suburbs of the city and would open a free park and playground for colored children and laborers. The total cost of grounds and buildings would be more than ten thousand dollars. A good report from Baldwin County was made by Mrs. Amanda Houston. Special music was furnished by the Chickasaw Brass Band. DR. LASSITER TAKES COURSE AT HARVARD Dr. Norman Lassiter, a prominent and successful dentist of Newport News, Va., was one of the twenty-five to be awarded a certificate for taking a post graduate course in dentistry at Harvard this summer. This was the first year Harvard has conducted such a course and forty-seven dentists availed themselves of the opportunity offered. Dr. Lassiter was the only colored man in the class and was generally regarded as one of its brightest students. Dr. Lassiter is a graduate of Lincoln University and studied dentistry at the University of Pennsylvania. After his graduation he went to Newport News where he built up a lucrative practice and also became dentist for Hampton Institute. He is married and has two children. His family lived with him in Cambridge while he was attending school. The Lassitters spent the past week in New York and saw the sights in their big Packard car. BAPTIST DELEGATES ARE (Special to The New York Act) Newark, N. J.—Ten thousand delegates from all parts of the country are in the city this week, attending the National Baptist Convention, which is in session at the old First Regiment Armory. Tuesday night was the occasion of a grand musicale and a chorus of 500 voices sang. Dr. C. T. Walker of Augusta, Ga., the noted orator and preacher, delivered an address. Among others who spoke were the Rev. Dr. E. C. Morris of Helena, Ark., president of the Convention, and Prof. R. B. Fludson of Selma, Ark., the secretary. Governor Runyon and Mayor Chas. P. Gillen of this City delivered welcome addresses to the visitors on behalf of the State and City. Dr. E. E. Richa pastor of Bethany Baptist Church, Bank Street, represented the welcoming Baptist ministers. Washington, D. C.—The process of enlightening Congress as to the various forms of injustice practised upon the Negro, is being carried on with unabated vigor. The latest abuse to be brought to the notice of the lawmakers of the country, with a plea for its abatement, is the practice of extorting first class fare on railroads in the South for wholly inadequate accommodations.

Representative Madden (Rep., Ill.), who has introduced a bill requiring "equal and identical rights, accommodations and privileges" for both races on railway trains, urged it be made part of the Esch Kailroas.

"You want to force the Negroes to ride in the cars with the white people, when the Negroes themselves would rather ride in separate cars than to be mixed up with white people," suggested Representative Reyburn, (Dem., Tex.) "I deny that the Negroes themselves would rather be in a separate car," said Mr. Madden. "I deny, that you understand the Negro," Mr. Rayburn said. representative Sanders (Dem. La.) said white men are prohibited from riding in. Negro coaches. "We of the South," he added, "contend that the Negro prefers separate accommodations. Our Negroes down South, knowing they are not welcome in the white man's coach, don't go in. You will admit that the great majority of Negroes of the country live in the South." "Yes, but we think they should be treated the same in the South as in the North," Mr. Madden declared. "The Negroes are treated better in my country than in your City of Chicago," continued Mr. Sanders. "The affair in Chicago was an unfortunate situation that nobody can explain." Mr. Madden said. Lieut. Gregory of Howard University complained because Negroes cannot have sleeping berths or meals on the trains in the South. "You only have to walk to the Union Station here in Washington to see how the Jim Crow car works," he said. "Every trainexgoing to Richmond carries one. Usually the baggage car is divided in two and the Negroes must ride in one half. Half of that is given over as a smoking room. It is used as an overflow for white people from their smoking car and by the crew of the train. There is but one toilet for both sexes and conditions are filthy." ZION BISHOPS FOR HARM ZION BISHOPS DECLARE FOR HARMONY OF RACES (Special to The New York Age) St. Louis, Mo.—In view of the restless of this country, the Board of Bishops of the Afral Zion Church, issued a statement in the for the President and Congress of the United State of the several States. St. Louis, Mo.—In view of the restless conditions prevailing in this country, the Board of Bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, issued a statement in the form of an open letter to the President and Congress of the United States and the Governors of the several States. After reciting the lynching of colored soldiers in American uniform at Hickman, Kentucky, Hattiesburg, Mississippi and other places, the sayage mobbing of women and old men and the wholesale lawless and brutal attacks upon Negroes even in the capital of the nation, Longview, Texas, and the "great city" upon the Lakes, it continues: [As the moral and religious leaders of a great denomination and the accredited spokesmen for hundreds of thousands of self-respecting and law-abiding citizens we ask the exercise of your good offices to correct these wrongs and prevent a recurrence of such outrages. We believe that the demand of the American Negro for full civil and political rights is warranted by his services in times of peace and war. Among these rights which he would have guaranteed by the nation and the sovereign states are: the right to vote and hold office under the statutes without racial restrictions; the right to own and occupy real property wherever necessary may require and his means will allow; the right to work unmolested anywhere and at any time, at the accustomed wage (Command on Eighth Page) DROWNED WHILE ACTING FOR MOTION PICTURES (Special to The New York Act) NEWPORT, R.

McMECHEN SUCCEEDS SCOTT AS RULER OF ELKS (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.—After electing officers for the ensuing year and choosing Kansas City for the 1920 session, the annual session of the Grand Lodge of Elks-came to an end here with a big ball that attracted hundreds to Youngs Million Dollar Pier. The election of George W. F. McMechen, of Baltimore, to the grand exalted rulership was an event long to be remembered. Andrew Brown, of Richmond, Va.; City Councilman Thomas W. Fleming, of Cleveland; William R. Morris, of Minneapolis; William H. Stanton, of Pittsburgh; Stewart E. Hoyt, of Boston, and Armond W. Scott, who had been grand exalted ruler for the past three years, were the candidates against him. Each had been named in eloquent addresses. William Lewis, nester of Monumental Lodge, Baltimore, named Mr. McMechen in an address that seemed to make votes come tumbling toward McMechen. Harry H. Pace, of Atlanta, delivered one of the seconding speeches. One by one, the candidates withdrew, and then McMechen was named by acclamation. Other officers elected were: Carey Truehart, Atlantic City, grand esteemed leading knight; W. W. Green, Birmingham, grand esteemed local knight; H. A. Watkins, Chicago, grand esteemed lecturing knight; Dr. H. R. Kennedy, Newhern, N. C. grand trustee; R. B. Kane, Hartford, Conn, grand inner guard; Albert, Paxton, Pittsburgh, grand squire. The new grand exalted ruler named the Rev. C. G. Cummings, Charlestown, W. V., grand chaplain and K. Henri Lewis, Detroit, grand legal advisor. The new grand exalted ruler is a native of Wheeling, W. V. He was graduated from Morgan College, Baltimore, in 1895 and three years later finished the law course at Yale University. After practising a short time in Evansville, Ind., he went to Baltimore and formed a law partnership with W. Ashbie Hawkins. The Grand Lodge voted $500 for the erection of a monument to the late B. F. Howard, founder of the Order. It was reported that there are 30,000 members.

C.—The Columbia Aid Association, consisting of six hundred men having legal residences in the various States of the Union, at its last regular meeting, appointed a committee to draft resolutions bearing on the recent race riot in the City of Washington, D. C., and send the same to the chairmen of the Senate and House committees on the District of Columbia and to the President of the Board of Commissioners of said District. The resolutions adopted, which were signed by W. H. Johnson, chairman; H. W. Ball, J. R. Chambers, B. W. Fair and W. H. Pender, secretary, set forth among other things; We horribly deplore the recent Race Riot in the city of Washington for the following reason, namely: (a) It is a disgrace to the Capital of a free nation, whose Lord should be a Righteous God; (b) The innocent were the main sufferers; (c) The injury done the friendly feeling that has heretofore existed between the two races, that feeling having been more firmly cemented by the words of the resident, in his behalf, was Gavin C. C. who asked every American to do his bit in a fight for world Democracy. The Columbia Aid Association responded by buying Liberty Bonds. OPERATES BUS LINE IN BUTCHESS COUNTY (Special to The New York Age) POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y.—About eighteen miles east from Poughkeepsie in the heart of Dutchess County lies Millbrook; one of the prettiest little villages anywhere, and it is doubtful if there is another village in the country that can claim so many millionaire residents. Standard Oil magnates, bankers, lawyers, the only daughter of the late Andrew Carnegie, and many other petty persons, maintain magnesium estates, and a dade through the villages around some of these beautiful places will show how money brains and braves The main causes that led to the Race Riot were: the propaganda of certain leading newspapers of Washington in their glaring headlines picturing the Negro as a brutal criminal, committing assaults upon woman, served to tan the smoldering flames and when evidence disclosed the fact that the Negro was not as fearless as the charges; and race hatred exhibited by new comers from certain sections of the policy has existed to keep the "Nigger" in his proverbial place, together with the unfortunate bungling of the Police Administration, for strange it seems that these offenders of the law have not been apprehended and brought to justice. We believe that a man who commits a criminal act upon a woman, when proven guilty, ought to pay the extreme penalty, for no community is safe with any such character, be he black or white. We believe that the cause of arrest should know no color; it is reported that only certain men were to be searched and only certain men were to be arrested, and when arrested thrown into the patrol and handed to the station, and in some instances when they were arrested, the officers were beaten into insensibility. We ask a thorough investigation of such reports in order that the good officers be exonerated and those who are guilty be dismissed from the force. All fair-minded and thoughtful men must realized that the past war is not the last war, for in the present state of affairs of the world there can be no lasting peace, therefore the nation, who because of the loyalty and patriotism of the nation, has the most possible position for defense; for fair is righteous and righteousness exalteth a nation—our hope is that America will always be a nation. To a better understanding, we recognize the fact that there are good and bad in both races and that the good men will obey the law and all others should be made to obey. Let us have an honest enforcement of the law—no evasions—no discrimination—and no hiding of crimes or criminals. We ask further that all public officials, whose personal feeling and prejudices prevent them from administering an equal justice, be removed from office. We ask that a thorough investigation be conducted in Washington and for a possible make the recurrence of such a thing an impossibility, for as things are now we are simply living in an armed camp where an outbreak may occur at any time. We wish further to state that contrary to the accusation or charges made against us some days ago, we are neither Bolsheviks or Soviets, nor have we been impregnated with the principle of the I. W. W., but all we ask is a square deal. MADE RED CROSS OFFICER (Selected to the New York Area) PHOTOGRAPHY 15 years' experience in Portraiture. Right in your own home. Equal to studio work.

Y.—About eighteen miles east from Poughkeepsie in the heart of the Mohican State in Millbrook, the smallest little village where, and it is doubtful if there is another village in the country that can claim so many millionaire residents. Standard Oil magnates, bankers, lawyers, the only daughter of the late Andrew Carnegie, and many other wealthy persons maintain magnificent estates, and a ride through this village around some of these beautiful places can be seen. The village can convert some spots on the earth into places that fit very closely the human conception of passion. There is also located here the large Bennett School, which is attended by wealthy young women from all parts of the country. There are the usual diversified lines of business, conducted by very substantial people, who are among the best of Dutchess County's citizens. Among the foremost business people of this beautiful village, if he is not the biggest business man in Millbrook, is William R. Collins, a colored man. There is no direct railroad connection between Millbrook and Poughkeepsie, and Mr. Collins supplies this connection by his automobile bus line. About twenty-five years ago he bought out the old horse stage running between Millbrook and Poughkeepsie, and by strict attention to business, courtesy and punctuality he has built up the biggest business of that kind in this country outside of Poughkeepsie City. He owns a fine place at Millbrook on which is probably the largest garage in the village. He owns seven high-powered cars among which are several enclosed buses seating many passengers. The latest one built this summer will carry about thirty passengers and every portable convenience is in the public. His care is in perfect order and are as spacious as man looking as any private car dealers carrying passengers Mr. Collins has a big freight automobile which always freight and packages to and from all the countryside between Millbrook and Poughkeepsie. The teachers and pupils of the large Bennett school are almost exclusively Mr. Collins' patrons, because they know that he and his drivers are always careful, painstaking and gentlemanly Mr. Collins has all kinds of commissions to execute, all the way from purchasing the correct shade of thread, or matching dress goods to handling large business transactions for his patrons. In all his business dealings and transactions one thing that distinguishes him is his absolute faithfulness to duty, his strict and undivided attention to his business, and it is probably this trait coupled with his energy, courage and massing character that is at the foundation of his success. His buses, like railroad trains, have certain definite times to arrive at and leave certain points, and it has to be a very heavy storm in winter that prevents him arriving at and leaving his stop on the minute. Other men have watched his success and have competed with him trying to dislodge him, but they have all had to drop out. As the boys on the streets say, "they can't touch him." Mr. Collins has never been a person to whine about having a chance in the world, but with grit and pluck and the spirit never to say the, and absolute indulgence and privacety and confidence in himself, he has gone ahead and made the same decision. He is every decent, successful business man is respected in every community and no differently. His plant and equipment represent thousands of dollars and it has all grown from a small investment of money years ago with the constant application of the personal qualities above mentioned. But Mr. Collins did not do all this alone; perhaps he could have, but he didn't. He had the constant help and counsel and comfort of a splendid wife. His career should be an inspiration to yaging people and an unfailing token that there was never more or better opportunity than now. But to attain success, one has to buckle down and keep his nose, to the grindstone, day in and day out. But it is this that gives wealth and power and prestige to others, and it is this that will give wealth and power and prestige to us.

Chose His Words The fisherman dashed into the country hotel and excitedly grasped the manager by the arm. "What do you mean by luring anglers here with the promise of fine fishing?" he said. "There isn't a bit of fishing here; every brook has a sign warning people off." "I didn't say anything about fine fishing," said the manager calmly. "If you will kindly read my advertisement carefully, you will see what I said was 'Fishing unapproachable.' Variety.

The Lyceum's committee is investigating prices in meat markets on Madison, Fifth, Lenox and Seventh avenues, to compare them with those on Eighth avenues. The committee will report next week. (Continued from First Page) "Not being satisfied with this answer the worker appointed to this account the leader. She was met very plausibly and told she would take the matter up with the colored leaders of the party. "In a subsequent conversation the worker who had protested was told that both colored leaders had expressed themselves as entirely satisfied with the situation. She further added that colored workers need not expect the same treatment as had been given by the French; that there were Southern white people in the room, and that if colored were seated with the other welfare workers some white people would be seated at tables when colored worked; one was no white fall. This would be an insult to the Southern whites. With Negroes, three Chinese students returning from England filled out one of the tables. "The white man who posed as chief of the men took the protest very pleasantly, and said that he hated to see any of his welfare workers seated among the ill-smelling foreigners, and that he would see what he could do. Nothing was ever done, however. The leaders of the colored party were enthralled. "Later the tables of the colored workers were occupied as breakfast, by the little foreign children, who were traveling as second class passengers. Many of them were dirty and had sore mouths and used the colored workers' napkins. When some protested they were told to come at a later hour when the children had finished. "The names of the colored workers were put at the foot of the list of passengers, so that they received accommodation floor lower than any of the other women. Then they were some white men secretaries on our floor, however, and one or two foreign women." "The problem within the race of those who cry that a protest against segregation is simply trying to get away from our own people, seems greater than all the forces without. Some of us came ashore: feeling greatly depressed, and wondering whether we were going to be equal to the task that the situation in America now imposes upon us." PLAINFIELD, N. I. PLAINFIELD, N. J.

Miss Eliza Hawkins is still indisposed OPENS Sees Southern Sentiment Growing Against Lynching The following article entitled "The South and the Lynching Evil", written by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, appeared in the South Atlantic Quarterly for July, a journal published at Trinity College, Derbyshire, N. C. Lynching is a national civil. It is not confined to any one section of the country. The records for the past thirty years show that there appear to be only about five states where Lynchings have not occurred. It is a matter which concerns the whole nation. This was the position taken at the recent National Conference of Lynchings held in New York City. For example, Associate Justice Charles E. Hughes, during this occasion, said: "Civilization as well as Democracy, is at stake. You cannot expect a lawless sentiment to be confined to any one section of the country; if lawlessness succeeds in one place, it will break out in another." While it is true that lynchings is a national evil and is not confined to any one section of the country, it is also true that this evil more vitally concerns the South than it does the other sections of the country because of the fact that by far the greater number of lynchings occur here. In the thirty years from 1899 to 1918 we have recorded 222 lynchings of this number, 390, or 121 per cent, occurred in the North and West and 2834, or 85.9 per cent, in the South. That is to say, the South, with about one-half the population of the North and West, had more than seven times as many lynchings as these two sections combined. It also appears that the tendency is for lynchings to become more and more characteristic of the South. The decrease of lynchings in other sections of the country has been more rapid than it has been from 1899 to 1998 there were 1,613 lynchings in the United States. Of this number, 262, or 16.3 per cent, occurred in the North and West and 1,351, or 83.7 per cent, in the South. In the ten years 1909 to 1918 there were 687 lynchings in the United States, a decrease in the thirty years for the Nation as a whole of 926, or 57 per cent. In the same period, 1909 to 1918, the number of lynchings in the North and West was 40; a decrease of 222, or 84 per cent, in the ten years before. In the same ten-year period, 1909 to 1918 the number of lynchings in the South was 647, a decrease of 704, or 52 per cent. This indicates that the decrease of lynchings in the North and West has been 32 per cent greater than the decrease of this evil in the South. It is further true that the Negroes of the South are the ones whom the lynching evil most vitally affects. In the thirty years just mentioned, 2,522, or 78 per cent of those put to death by mobs, were Negroes. It is also true that, although at the present time white persons are often put to death by mobs, the tendency appears to be for lynching the more and more confined to the war. In 1889, 689 per cent of those lynched Negroes; whereas, in the five year 1914 to 1918, 81.2 per cent were of the opinion that lynching is the cause of unrest among New Yorkers. It was the cause most often involved in resolutions and expressing that conditions be bettered for the chief factors in making unstable. It not only makes labor unstable, but it also causes among business, professional and owning Negroes who form stabilizing forces in the various communities of in people. In this manner I have always impressed recently a memorial from a Negro Dental Association of Louisiana the Governor of that State, asking permission and setting forth that branch threats of mob violence members of the Association had been compelled to leave the state. My own observations are that this instability, the unrest of Negro labor and of Negroes generally, is tending to increase rather than decrease. This unrest and this instability are greatly retarding the industrial and economic development of the South; for to the extent that Negroes do not have the full power to do so, the and the present of happiness to this extent will the industrial and economic development of the South be retarded, heavy indication points to the fact that South is going to need the Negro a laborer to an even greater extent so she has heretofore needed him, the other hand, there is every indication that the continued stoppage of migration from Europe and the great influx in the building industries and lines which will come when peace is established, are going to create even greater demand for the North than there has ever and the two most significant connection with the lynching probably the growth of sentinel it and the decrease in the lynchings. I have been pleased to note the growth of in the South against lynching the strong stand which such papers as "The Montgomery Advertiser," "The Atlanta Constitution," "The Houston Post," "The Charlotte Observer," "The Columbia Carolina) State," "The Memmessenger) Commercial Appeal," "Oreans (Louisiana) Times and many others that condined which, by their frequent comments, are doing a splendid P work in arranging public attention to the importance of having this evil abolition. There is an increasingly large number of white people who are setting their faces against this evil and are speaking out and openly opposing it. An indication of the growth of this sentiment is found in the large number of Southern white people who signed the call for the recent National Conference on Lynching and the very prominent paedophile bookings of this conference. Another indication of the growth of sentiment against this evil in the large place that was given to the discussion of lynching at the recent meeting of the Southern Sociological Congress: The very striking resolutions adopted were: "The Southern Sociological Congress strongly condemns lynching and mob rule which are un-American and subversive of law and order. We pledge ourselves to do everything possible to prevent lynching and we call upon the editors of the public press, the ministers, the teachers and other leaders responsible for creating public sentiment, to prochain against both disgrace and menace in our own land and also discredits American democracy abroad; and we urge the immediate exercise of all possible State and Federal power to put a speedy end to these outrages throughout the country." The congress not only adopted resolutions, but formulated the following program: "First, to carry on a ceaseless campaign of publicity through the public press; Second, to send speakers to address conventions on this subject in order to enlist active support of religious, educational and other leaders; Third, to carry on a thorough-going investigation of the causes of lynching upon the result of the failure of a future constructive program of education, legislation, and law enforcement." The publicity that is, being given to the fact that lynchings are now occurring for almost any cause, however trivial, that women are being lynched—figge in 1918—that only a small proportion of lynchings are for the "unmendable" benefit to arrest a public sentiment against this evil. The records show that from two-thirds to three-fourths of the persons put to death by mobs are not charged with rape. Only twenty-five per cent of the persons put to death by mobs in 1918 were charged with that crime. According to the records compiled by Monroe N. York theologie institute, there have been the five first lynchings this year twenty-three persons lynched. Of this number only five were charged with rape or attempted rape. We have brought out of the war new conceptions of human relationships and the duties of individuals, groups, and races to each other. We are now in the midst of a great After War Reconstruction Program. An important part of this reconstruction is to endeavor to reduce, and as far as possible to obstruct the spread of the disease. This is a most opportunity time for the campaign which is being launched to abolish an evil which is doing so much to hinder just and harmonious relations between the races. The stronger peoples and races are insisting that the weaker have just and equal protection. I am pleased to note that here in the South this is being more and more insisted upon. It has been especially gratifying to me in the past few months to have so many expressions from the people of the South to the necessity of justice being done to the Negro; and almost invariably one of the things mentioned was the abolishing of the lynching evil. The stimulation of the growth of sentiment for prohibition is to mind, an indication of how the sentiment against lynching can be increased. Who would have supposed ten years ago that it so short a time we would have national prohibition, and that as amendment to the Constitution of the United States making the sale of alcohol for lynching would be funded by more than 37 of the states' Prohibition was largely brought about through agencies which constantly kept before the public the evil of intolerant drinks and the great moral and economic losses which the country was sustaining because of this evil. In the same manner information can be spread throughout the South with reference to the great moral and economic losses which are being sustained in the South because of the lynching evil. These cases are affecting both white and black families, and saying the late Booker T. Washington that you cannot keep a man in the thief unless you remain down yourself, being more and more recognized as striking true with reference to lynching. That the South will put this civil away from her is indicated by the very brave words of ex-Governor Emmanuel O'Neal, who in the course of his address at Tuskegee Institute on Founder's Day said: 'There is another law of the South that is to oppose all forms of violence unless the lesbian example, to lift high the standards of law supremacy. The South should set its face like a flint against all forms of mob violence and lynch law. The term lynch law' is a palpable mistener, for THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1919 there is but one law in this country to which we all owe allegiance and that is the law administered by the orderly prosecuses of the courts legally constituted. Wh wherever and whenever any persons, regardless of their numbers or their character, put to death by mob violence any citizen of this country, or any foreigner enjoying the protection of our laws, the act is none the less murderous, the act is notorious or otherwise committed the crime can only prove her loyalty to the true spirit of democracy by making democracy safe, not only in the world, but the life of every citizen safe against violence in the country which claims to be the very citadel of democratic government. In this country we all owe security of life, of liberty and of property not to powerful armies or navies but to formidable constellations, but rather to unarmed militic supremacy of the law which is the most important program of a government which is founded on the rights and fortified by the intelligence of the people."

Abbie Mitchell Inspector Donald ..... Barrington Carter Sergant Dunn ..... J. Frances Mores Doolan ..... Will A. Cooke MYSTIC SM reigns supreme in the Lafayette Theatre this week where large audiences are held spellbound throughout the presentation of "The Lafayette Chair" by the Lafayette Playhouse. To-day psychic research is being more seriously discussed in America and abroad than before, and this great mystery play gives those either directly or indirectly interested in the subject additional opportunity to study it. No one can question the ability of Miss Abbie Mitchell as a character actress after seeing her last week in "Eyes of Youth" and this week in "The 13th Chair." In the first show she appeared in the roles of a sweetheart, old maid, prima donna and divorcee, while in "The 13th Chair" she portrays the part of Mme. Rosalie La Grange, an old woman with an Irish accent. One must see Miss Mitchell in these various roles in order to fully appreciate her versatility. Next to Miss Mitchell the work of Barrington Carter as Inspector Donohue commands favorable attention. He, too, within two weeks has demonstrated his fitness to acceptably fill character parts. One must possess some historionic ability to acceptably play Yogi, an East Indian, one week and an inspector of police the next. Charles H. Moore, as Roscoe Crosby, has an important part in the play and is convincing. The other members of the well-balanced cast are Alice Gorgas, who strikingly portrays the character of the much maligned Helen O'Neil, Lawrence Chenault, Elizabeth Williamine, Harry Plater, Susie Sutton, Mattie Wilkes, A. B. Comathiere, Robert Slater, William (Babe) Townsend, Lillian Collymore, Marie Young, James H. Gray, J. Francis Mores and Will A. Cooke. The producers continue to pay particular attention to stage settings as in "Eyes of Youth," the Italian room in Roscoe Crosby's house exciting favorable comment at each performance. TO PLAY "LILAC TIME" Next week, commencing Monday, September 15, the Lafayette Players will open in the third Broadway success since Labor Day, which will be "Lilac Time," known far and wide as a play of "love and springtime," although in reality it is a tragedy of the war that moves the heart and dims the eyes somewhat as "Mine, Butterfly" does. At the Republic Theatre last season, Jane Cowl appeared in the leading role in "Lilac Time" as Jeannie and won the triumph of her stage career, personifying the women of France who give and give for France and hear the partings and the gently broken news that a loved one will not come back again. When her English lover leaves her for a mission within the enemy's line, "the war tears out my soul and leaves me desolate." Jeannie is the daughter of a French farmer who lives near the line of battle and her father and brother are with the army. In her mother's house several English officers are billeted, all of them she charms, and one, Philip Blythe, she learns to love. Blythe is under a cloud; enlisted as a private, he later won his commission and next the Victoria Cross for valor. In the second act the love scene between Philip and Jeannie is most beautiful and effective. In the last act Jeannie, waiting a year without any news from her lover, receives a letter saying he is coming to her that day. His commanding officer, instead, hands her his own identification slip and the cross he won. She swoons but quickly revives and in the spirit of the women of France cries: "Vive La France" Immediately after two officers rush in to impart the news that they have brought Philip back with them. Philip appears in the doorway and the curtain descends upon the two happily reunited lovers. cases. Such, however, is not the case with "The Smarter Set," better known as "The Smart Set." Headed by the foremost comedians, Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, each season they bring something new and diverting every time they appear in this city. Whitney and Tutt are playwrights and devote their spare time to writing something for the following season. "The Smarter Set" will offer the coming season an entirely new musical comedy, entitled "Children Of The Sun," adapted from the historical book of the same title by Geo. Wells Parker, which tells of Dean Kelly Miller, of Howard University, at Washington, D.C., and his successful voyage of archaeological research, where he discovered valuable records which he claims establishes the antiquity of the Negro race. These records have been translated are to be read at a race Congress to be held in Washington. "The Smarter Set" will be the attraction for the Lafayette Theatre the week of September 22. SUNDAY VAUDEVILLE AT LAFAYETTE Sunday vaudeville is becoming quite popular at the Laayette under the new management and the general opinion expressed is that the class of entertainment is of a higher standard than formerly. Sunday evening last Lulu Coates and her Crackerjacks topped the bill and the act was a positive riot. Floyd and Lemonier also went over nicely as did the other turns. Next Sunday there will be six acts and motion pictures. The policy of the house on Sunday is three shows a day, thereby giving all an opportunity of attending these big Sunday concerts.

CHICAGO, ILL.-The annual Tennis Tournament held by the Prairie Tennis Club was concluded Labor Day, L. Thompson and O. B. Williams, M.D., won in doubles.

The Club has completed its new courts and intends to send a team to St. Louis and one to New York City to compete in tournaments next summer.

Moore, a member of the Lafayette Players and for more than twenty years identified with colored theatricals, died early Sunday morning at the Presbyterian Hospital following an operation for appendicitis. Funeral services were held Wednesday noon at the undertaking establishment of G. O. Paris, 116 W. 131st street. The remains were interred in St. Michaela Cemetery. The deceased was 49 years old and was born in North Carolina. When quite young he was brought to Brooklyn where he was reared and received his schooling. He joined the Williams and Walker Company during its early days as a baritone singer and later was made personal representative for the two renowned comedians, looking after their financial interests at the boxoffice of the theatres where the show played and performing other important duties. About 1905 Mr. Moore severed his connections with the company. Last season he became a member of the Lafayette Players but it was not until a few weeks ago that he contracted to work as a steady member. In "Eyes of Youth" he played the part of the opera house manager up to Wednesday evening, when he was forced to retire, having complained all week of feeling ill. Until Saturday it was thought that he was suffering from ptomaine poisoning, but when taken to the hospital by Messrs. Shipp and Tisdale the doctors stated he had to be operated on immediately for the appendicitis and that even then chance of his recovery was doubtful. The condition of the patient was such that he died shortly after the operation. The deceased is survived by a mother and daughter. ST. CHRISTOPHER WINS A. A. U. CHAMPIONSHIP Newark, N. J. All Newark turned out Saturday evening at the National A. A.

C. third. Saint Christopher's quartet, McCannon, Foster, Carter and Weisiger, ran in world series form and will be among the stars in the National 440 relay championship in Philadelphia next Saturday. The two mile relay championship went to the New York A: C, with the Alpha P. C. Club second, which was represented by Goode, Cummings, Powes, Jackson and Issacs. Scott Chiemann and Brad Smith fell. LAST ONE OF THE BANJO KINGS. The recent death of Edward C. Dobson broke the last link in a chain of famous American banjo players which had stretched across about thirty years. Although Dobson was only 61, his fame as a musicist dated back to the 70s, when proficiency with the "African harp" was still much in demand by the theatre going public. More than that, he made greater advances in the art of playing the banjo than any other white man. The banjo is by birth and affection the tuneful child of the Negro. Its very name is either the African's corruptions of various European derivations from the Greek "pandoura" or a variant of "bania", which may itself have been of African origin. It is, as Thomas Jefferson said, an instrument "proper to the blacks, which they brought hither from Africa and which is the original of the guitar." The white man met the banjo and became its devoted admirer. Probably Joe Sweeney, the first American minstrel famous as a banjo player, learned his are from a slave. Dan Eimett, who wrote "Dixie," was a good one with the banjo was not as great as Earl Pierce, who thrummed the stringland with Wambold to tickle the earway and later, in 1857, went to England with WAMBOLD to tickle the ear of the Londoners, who had enjoyed banjo music since the invasion by the Ethiopian Seremaders in 1846. Eimett was a good player, however, any old timer who remembers him a the Chatham Theatre will testify. Other noted performances of that period, a dozen years before the civil war, were Frank Stanton, who played in Charlie Whitey Melden, Dave Lull, the humpbacked man who had won his fame in the Eagle Street Theatre, Buffalo in 1842 and who was with Billy Birn in the Virginia Sergeant's Hall; Bill Ri, who was lost with the summer boying Star when it was burned on a way from this city to New Orleans in 1860; Bill Donaldson, the great left handed palyer; Jim Wamblot, Fred Dixie and "Pupsey" Keenan, who called for his bans in the last hour of his life and died hugging it. Later came a host of good players of whom Sam Devere is best remembered. Sam was one of the civil war developments, and so good was he that General Grant took him out of the ranks to use him for detail by day and entertainment by night when the Union commander was at City Point, Va., in 1864. Sam banged the banjo and Grant banged Petersburg. After the war the country was full of minstrel companies with capable banjoists. Not one of these burnt cork performers, however, was in the same class with the Negro Horace Weston. This was a former slave, a fat man who would play the banjo eight hours a day for his employer and then go away and play it eight hours more for his own diversion. Dobson, who was a lad of 12 years when he first entered minstrelsy with Birch, Wambold and Backus, saw the immeasurable superioity of Weston over the burnt cork men. It was not only that Weston was playing the instrument of his race and that he inherited the genius of the African for music; he handled the banjo differently from the white men. He stroked the strings, instead of picking them, and used the thimble. Dobson and his brother studied the methods of Horace Weston, and thus it happened through his own love of the banjo and the advantage of knowing the Negro expert that Edward Dobson came to be and to remain until his death the greatest player and teacher in his line. His success was not limited to this side of the water, for in the '80s he went to England, where the methods of the early American ministrels had prevailed since the English first saw a banjo in 1846, and showed the advance in technique which the art owed to Weston's heredity and his own talent.

Walton that the Quality Amusement Corporation, which controls the new colored circuit, has secured the services of Alex Rogers, playwright and lyricist, to produce several musical productions, which are to be seen in the theatres owned and controlled by the corporation in the near future. An option has been secured on Mr. Rogers' services to produce exclusively for the Quality Amusement Corporation for the next two years, and the financial consideration involved is the largest in which a colored producer has figured in recent years. The first three productions will be "This and That," "Baby Blue," and a big musical revue which will include among its many features a unique comedy drama offering entitled "Jasper Lee's Revenge" and "An Affair of Honor." It will be the aim of the Quality Amusement Corporation to make these musical productions up to date and entertaining in every way, and comedians and singers of ability, also chorus girls of unusual beauty, will be used. street, died at his home last week after four months illness.

Luckeyth Roberts as musical director for the Quality Amusement Corporation, who will be associated with Mr. Rogers in the writing of songs. Every number in each of these productions will be original and consistent with the theme. The acquisition of these two talented writers is regarded as an important step which means much to colored theatricals. Mr. Rogers won fame as a playwright and song writer with the Williams and Walker company, having collaborated with Jesse A. Shipp in many of Williams and Walker's successes. No colored writer has written more song hits than he. Mr. Roberts is regarded as the most promising composer of the day and has served as musical director for a number of colored road shows, the past two seasons having worked in that capacity for the Smarter Set Company. Already Messrs. Rogers and Roberts have written a dozen or more songs which bear the earmarks of histinet hits. business and enjoying a little vacation. Martin L.

Mr. Snyder told of the work that he hoped to do in Newark in aid of all existing social organizations. He complimented the work already being done and asked that every one unite to make the community house at 56 Academy Street of real use to the community. Mr. Snyder then went to France in a welfare worker and brought from France a wonderful collection of pictures, showing the contribution that the race has made to this war. (Special to The New York Times) JENNIE CITY, N. J. — The following letter written by Dr. George E. Cannon to Mr. Oliver Randolph of Newark, N.J. is addressed to the Secretary of the Department. In reply to your letter of September 3, relative to the Roosevelt Memorial Association, I wish to state that some days ago, I received a letter from Mr. William Boyce Thompson, president of the Roosevelt Memorial Association, stating that I had been appointed a member of the committee for my state in the coming drive, and desiring to do so by reply, my acceptance. Two of the days ago I wrote him accepting the appointment and offering my services. I see by your letter that the object is to form a colored committee in this state and in other states. I am perfectly willing to contribute all I can afford, and do all I can to honor the memory of Theodore Roosevelt whom I consider the greatest American since Lincoln. At the same time, I regret that the Association has adopted the policy of having separate or "Grow" Committee of colored men in every state. Roosevelt stood for true Americanism and it seems in planning to honor his memory, it would have been a fine opportunity to have abliterated racial lines and to have ignored the dictum of prejudiced conditions, and let all Americans work as Americans in SUBSCRIBE!

Certainly Roosevelt's Life does not need for aggression or "Jim Crowming," and I regret that anything savoring of that policy is being tolerated in this campaign to raise funds for the memorial. I am willing and will do all in my power to help raise funds for the Roosevelt Memorial Association, at the same time; I wish to register my protest at our being set apart and separate from the rest of the American citizens engaged in this noble enterprise. If we cannot work in every state as Americans, in raising funds for the Roosevelt Memorial, knowing what he stood for; then I am at a loss to know under what conditions we will ever be able to do our part simply as Americans without being sarcastic. I am sending a copy of this letter to Mr. Thompson as in his letter he asked for any views or suggestions. As chairman of the colored committee for New Jersey, I have spoken to you very frankly in this matter. I feel I feel. I appreciate your fine worth and standing in the community and, of course, would not refuse to cooperate with you in any worthy movement of which you are chairman. WORK OF THE CIRCLE WORK NEGRO RE FOR NEGRO RELIEF At the recent annual meetings of the National Business Men's League held in Saint Louis, the National Association of Colored Nurses held in Boston and the National Medical Association held in Newark, N.J., the work of the Circle for Negro Relief, Inc., received endorsement and promise of co-operation. The following resolutions were adopted: RESOLVED.—That the National Negro Business League, in its twentieth annual convention assembled in the City of Saint Louis, Missouri, August 15, 14, 15, 1919, does hereby endorse the work of The Circle for Negro Relief, Inc., so effectively carried on during the Great World War,—maintaining headquarters at 489 Fifth Avenue, New York City, N. Y.—and this body heartily approves and encourages the effort to nationalize said Circle for Negro Relief, Incorporated. Whereas, the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses recognizes and appreciates the very splendid work being done by The Circle for Negro Relief, Inc., be it resolved that this, the twelfth annual convention now assembled in Boston, Massachusetts, do endorse and plaque our co-operation with the Circle." In view of the fact that one of the most important phases of the Circle work is to encourage and help send our community nurses the co-operation of the nurses and the physicians is an added impetus to further and more rapidly nationalize the work. Mrs. Dora Norman, who very ably presented the work of the Circle in St. Louis, brought back a goodly number of new members. Mrs. Etnah Rochon Boutte, the executive secretary, in a brief but clear and forceful manner gave a resume of the work at the Nurses' and Medical Men's Association and won a large number of new friends and members for the organization. "The strength and beauty of the organization," says Mrs. Boutte, "this in the fact that it is demonstrating the willingness and ability of the colored to help themselves and to manage effectively and efficiently welfare work." For the fund which the Circle is raising for Etkel Williams, the following contributions have been received: Postmaster A. S. Burleson, $5; Mayor John F. Hylan, $5; Governor W. C. Sproul, $5; Unit No. 12, Yonkers, N. Y., $5; President John Hope, $1; Unit No. 3, Rahway, N. J., $5; Rev. W. H. Brooks, $3; Unit No. 60; Salt Lake City, Utah, $5; Van S. Holmes, $1; Little Forest Baptist Church, Dumfries, V.A., $8.51; Unit No. 39, Ridgewood, N. J., $5; Unit No. 50, New London, Conn., $15; Circle General. Relief Fund, $15. Total, $133.51. The check for $8.51 from the Little Forest Baptist Church was accompanied by the following letter: EncLOSED please find my check for $8.51 which I wish to be used for Ethel Williams, the poor colored girl who had both hands blown off and one eye put out while opening a bomb in a Georgia Senator's home a few weeks and. I had read of the accident, but just saw the extent of her injuries and knew she was sending out in The New York Age. It made me so sad that I deeded to sell the church for an after publication in her behalf. The congregation every really requested by giving the offended amount. Won't you please acknowledge present of the name by saying that you thank the Rev. Joseph Clifford of St. Joseph the man collected and sold it.

REFUTES CHARGE AS "A Southern Woman in New York," in The Globe of the 23rd inst., referring to the condition of the average Negro in the south, and apparently approving of lynching, although regretting it makes one statement that all must agree with, and that is in regard to the cruelty of the law in compelling the victim of an assault to be the leading witness in a crowded court room against the person charged with the crime. All who have at all considered the subject must agree that there should be some change in legal procedure here. The rights of the one under arrest should be protected, but it should be possible to do this without visiting upon the victim suffering almost as keen as that of the crime itself. There can be no good reason against conducting this part of the trial in the presence of the judge, the prosecutor, the defendant, the jury, and the counsel—thus excluding the general public. Why has not some attempt been made in the southern states to so change the processes of the law that they shall spare the victim of an assault, at the same time protecting the rights of the prisoner? The very plain intimation contained in the letter referred to that the crime of which she speaks is one to which the Negro race is peculiarly addicted should not pass unchallenged. No doubt she knows many more men and women of color than the writer, who is a northern white man, but one who has numbered among his friends—and he is not ashamed to say it—some men of color, and has known many others. If her statement is true, will she kindly explain one fact, and that is, why the crime is not especially prevalent in the border states—say, for instance, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois? The writer refers to Pennsylvania because he has known conditions there very well, having lived near Philadelphia for some years. For years past it has been freely said there that that city and its vicinity was receiving a large immigration from the south, and that the larger part of the Negroes coming were of the lowest moral type. Doubtless they were no better than the average run of the Negroes of the south. Why, then, if this crime is so peculiarly one of the southern Negro's—why is it that the courts of southern Pennsylvania, have not been overrun in the last ten years with charges against colored men for committing this crime? Is there something occult, something mysteriously improving, about crossing Mason and Dixon's line northward that proouts from the colored human-nature its tendency toward this crime? Peel's law does not do that. The man of color is any more cursed by God with a tendency toward this crime than his brother with a skin a few shades lighter. To believe anything of that kind would go far toward making me-lose all faith in a God of justice and loving kindness.

Four or five times as many properly trained teachers as are now available from all sources as needed in the public schools for Negroes in the South. "I feel sure that The American Church Institute for Negroes and the General Board of Missions will be willing to every once in a while their power to develop the efficiency andfulness of their schools of this class in the interest not only of the Negroes themselves, but of the future progress and happiness of this section and of the safety of our Christian democracy." In urging that the Nation-Wide and the Every Name managers make generous provision in their budgets for Negro work.-Dr. Patton says: "Can we do justice in our international relations if we do not highly resolve to do larger justice to the numerous races under our own flag? Can America long be a leader in pointing the way of peace beyond our borders if we have not discovered the way of peace within our own? America cannot remain at peace at home so long as there is withheld from any considerable number of her citizens the chance to prepare themselves to play their proper part in the great responsibilities of this new day."
