(Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) Detroit, Mich.-The General Convention of the Episcopal Church which meets every three years, opens in this city on Wednesday, Oct. 8, and will continue in session for three weeks. The convention numbers over one thousand members and is the lawmaking body of the church. The most prominent leaders of the church in America, as well as the Archbishop of York from England, will be present. This convention is notable for the fact that for the first time in the history of the church, among the bishops resident in America, seated in the house of Bishops, will be two members of the colored race, namely: The Right Rev. Edmund Thomas Denby, Bishop Suffragan of Arkansas and the Right Rev. Henry B. Delahaye, Bishop Suffragan of North Carolina. Both of these were insecrated during the past year. It is also expected that a bishop will be elected for Liberia to take the place of the late Bishop Ferguson. The plans for the proceedings of the convention include the revision of the Book of Common Prayer, and the adoption of a policy of reconstruction after the war in which the church will give full justice to the Negro. Great meetings will be held on Oct. 9, and 12, at Areadia Hall, and there will be daily discussions at the regular sessions of the House of Deputies. St. Matthew's Church will hold a reception for the many distinguished colored clergymen who will be present, to which the citizens at large are invited. On Oct. 12 Bishop Danby is expected to preach at St. Matthew's in the morning and Bishop Dallinery in the evening.

Lloyd Titus, pastor, is proud of this record. was a trustee, in accepting an appointment to represent his race on the National Committee of the Association, wrote Colonel Thompson as follows; "Colored people, as you know, loved the Colonel, as is indeed true of the American people generally." Colonel Charles Young, U. S. A., retired, of Xenia, Ohio, in accepting membership of the Ohio State Committee, calls Colonel Roosevelt "the friend of my race and of all good Americans." Robert C. Barnes, a well-known attorney of Detroit and a member of the Michigan State Committee, says of Colonel Roosevelt: He was loved by all our people. We regard him as the most distinguished citizen America has ever produced." V. H. Tulane of Montgomery, Ala., says; "Colonel Roosevelt was a great servant of humanity and championed the cause of my people on many occasions and we count it as a privilege to have a part in precepting his memory." The National Business League at its recent annual convention in St. Louis adopted resolutions heartily endorsing and pledging its support to the plan to establish permanent memorials to Theodore Roosevelt. Members of the League and the leading Negro educators are taking an active part in the campaign. William H. Lewis the famous center of the Amherst and Harvard football elevens in the 90's who was appointed a special United States attorney by President Roosevelt, is chairman of the Massachusetts State Committee. One of his associates on this committee is William C. Matthews, former star at Harvard, who is now practicing law in Boston. Another is Rev W.N.D.Berry, matter of St. John's Congregational Church, Springfield. Among the colored men interested in the movement and members of their State Committees are Robert E. Jones, Y. W. C. A. WORKERS TO CONFER IN CINCINNATI Announcement was made this week by Miss Eva D. Bowles that an important conference will be held in Cincinnati from October 23 to 26 which will be attended by prominent Y. W. C. A. workers. Each organized group from the cities invited to attend will be responsible for sending its chairman of the Committee of Management, one other strong chairman and as many volunteer workers as they can finance. "Our work," says Miss Bowles, "has enlarged to such an extent in the past two years that we need to get together to see where we are and whither we are going. The abnormal pressure of the war has made it impossible for us to hold city sectional conferences to any extent; for this reason the opportunity offered by this conference should be taken advantage of, even at a sacrifice of time and money." HOUSE CLEANING COMPANY BUYS FLAT IN HARLEM Negro investors have acquired another high grade elevator apartment house in Harlem tenanted by white people. The latest transaction affects the Raneyley, a seven story structure at 2340 to 2346 Seventh avenue, northwest corner of 135th street, which the Roach House Cleaning Company of 2470 Seventh avenue has just purchased from Louise Gorginska of Jersey City.

West, Five Fred Hernandez with three companions, offered the ross of the crew from a sinking vessel toently Hernandez, who is known fairly as "Trap," is a man of very quiet demeanor and is regarded as a good citizen and an all-round machinist. In a letter to the Key West Citizen, under the heading, "Unappreciated Hermus," Jas. Rissell told the story of the ross as follows: In the last storm, the Grampus went ash and sank with her crew aboard and they were forced to take to the tide, where they remained for about two-one hours, until rescued by D. Dorgan, O. Otto, H. Watkts and a colored man whose name I do not know. I consider that all four men took far greater chances (and volumes) than some of the heroes over the seas. Men who will take an open and go in the face of such a storm save the life of another voluntarily every inch a man and I am informed that the colored man had to leave the boat and swim with a line four times to the suffering crew. Broadway stars will appear at the benefit performance on the evening of October 19 at the Century Theatre to raise funds for the erection of a memorial to the heroes of the 300th Infantry (old 15th) who well on the battlefields of France.

Williams, Van and Schenck, Maryllyn Miller, Bee Palmer Frisco, Harry Fox, Johnny Dooley and thirty others. With the funds raised a memorial in the form of a huge bronze tablet will be erected in the new armory soon to be built in Harlem for the 15th Infantry Regiment. According to the statistics, two-thirds of the officers and men suffered casualties in the former Fighting Fifteenth. Ex-Boldier Has Narrow Escape. (Special to The New York Am) Plainfield, N. J.: Stanley Hall, who was a member of the 369th (old 15th) Regiment had a narrow escape with his life last Wednesday, Oct. 1. when a Morrisonn shot and killed Mrs. Herr and her 17-year-old son by whom he was imploded.

Webster of Mound Bayou, the only town award and controlled exclusively by Negroes in America, has recently organized the Webster Realty & Cotton Company, of which he is the principal figure. Mr. Webster has for the past four years been intimately associated as private secretary with one of the best minds the Negro race has ever produced in the commercial world, in the person of the Hon. Charles Banks of Mound Bayou. He was graduated from the Mound Bayou Normal Institute in 1912, and from there he entered Tougalau University where he was the leading brains in the Commercial Department of the 1914 class, having received a certificate of "Accuracy" over the aspirants of his class and the class that was above him. He graduated from this University in 1915. Before going to camp, Mr. Webster took civil service examination as stenographer and typist, and passed with a creditable average. Soon afterwards he be collined in the U. S. service and was sent to Camp Funston, Kansas, where he was placed in the headquarters of the 92d Division, under Lieut. T. T. Thompson, who unhesitatingly stole him as one of the best commercial students in the entire division. His literary training, coupled with his army and business experience while in the employ of Mr. Banks' should be a thorough assurance that his efforts will be crowned with success. Mr. Webster has already been able to sell about $45,000 worth of property in the Webster Addition to the town of Mound Bayon. Omaha, Neb.-Mrs. Lawrence C.

Sixteen Killed in Arkansas; Hundreds Made Prisoners Military and Sheriff's Posses Search for Arms and Ammunition During the past week race disturbances of a serious nature were reported from three States, namely, Arkansas, Georgia and Alabama. The news dispatches which are not always to be accepted as giving the real facts of the case, sought to characterize the conflicts in Arkansas as the suppression of a threatened uprising on the part of the Negroes. The number of the latter slain by soldiers and posses was placed at fourteen. White casualties were reported as five dead and six wounded. In Alabama last week five Negroes were lynched by the mob, and the grand jury authorized to investigate the crime failed to fix the responsibility or to indict the perpetrators. Special advices from the locality substantiated the report of wholesale lynchings, but gave no details. In Georgia the mob was reported to have avenged the killing of a deputy sheriff by shooting and whipping several Negroes and burning two at the stake. News dispatches relating some of these horrors are reproduced below. Alleged Uprising in Arkansas. Helena, Ark.—A statement was made on the recent riots by E. M. Allen of the committee of seven, authorized by local officers and Gov. Brough to investigate the trouble, charging that the affair was an organized Negro uprising, powered by a Negro who preyed on "the ignorance and superstition of a race of children for monetary gains." Mr. Allen, who was one of the leading men marked for death, after hearing confessions, examining circulars and other evidence procured by State and military officers in connection with the work of the committee, issued the following statement to explain what the committee had found to be the situation leading to the killing of five while men and upward of a score of Negroes: "The present trouble with the Negroes in Phillips county is not a race riot. It is a deliberately planned insurrection of the Negroes against the whites, directed by an organization known as the 'Progressive Farmers and Household Union of America,' established for the purpose of banding Negroes together for the killing of white people. This union was started by Robert L. Hill, a Negro 26 years of age, of Winchester, Ark., who posed as a 'private detective doing work in this and all foreign countries.'" Mr. Allen said Hill told the Negroes it was necessary for all members of the union to arm themselves in preparation for the day when they should be called upon to attack their white oppressors. "Negro men were charged $1.50 entrance fees and Negro women $10 cents," the statement says. "Another form of extortion was to sell shares of $10 each to all the Negroes in a proposed building to be erected by the union at Winchester. Another scheme used by Hill to obtain money was to appoint leading Negroes in each lodge as a 'private and foreign detective,' furnishing them large nickel plated stars and a pair of nickel plated handcuffs for which they paid him $50 each. His meeting at Winchester in August was attended and addressed by white men.

COMPLIMENTARY RECEPTION Fully five hundred women, representing all phases of social and professional activity in the five boroughs of Greater New York, as well as many from surrounding towns, gathered in the beautiful ball room of the Brooklyn Academy of Music last Saturday afternoon.

Not only the Nuremberg trials all 100 per cent American men honored to call you a fellow citizen. ORGANIZED R. M. BALNK. Field Secretary. By Clyda J. Williams Under the stress of the past few years we have heard much of the necessity of recreation. Religious, social agencies united in efforts to make ample provisions for recreation. We must not make the grave mistake of believing this to be only a wartime need. In any program of rational living, recreation must have a conspicuous place. We are told that recreation is a recreation or a refashioning. It may include anything that gives new vigor and refreshens body, mind and spirit. There is no period in life when we may safely neglect it. The adult needs it as well as the child or adolescent, but it is the recreation of the teen age girl to which I wish especially to call attention. All too frequently we hear it said that boys are stronger and more healthy than girls. Girls themselves are led to believe that they belong to the "weaker" sex. And we shall never be able to correct this mistaken notion as long as we blindly follow conventions which deceive that the adolescent girl must do a long, narrow skirt, tight clothing that constricts her breathing, high heels that are conducive to slouched posture and reinquishing all active play, become "lady-like." It is often said that girls lack group loyalty and power of concerted action, that they will not sacrifice the individual for the cause. This is undeniably true of those girls who must spend all their leisure hours crocheting, knitting and gossiping. If we would have girls with healthy bodies, healthy minds and healthy spirits we must give them the chance to develop through play. The Y. W. C. A. recreation program girls play group games of every description, varying from those of simple organization to games like baseball and basketball requiring team work and skill, and the way girls play those games! Muscles are vigorously native, minds are keenly alert, and that invaluable, elusive something, the spirit of play, is all pervasive. They play tennis and swim. These are the ideal activities for hale, hearty girls. Through folk, aesthetic and interpretive dancing they develop rhythm, grace and control. There is nothing, perhaps, that appeals to all types of girls as does camp life, where they live in the great out-of-doors and awaken to an appreciation of the infinite beauty of nature. It is a genuine delight to see the joy and enthusiasm of a group of city girls as they build a fire and cook breakfast in the open for the first time in their lives. It is a treat to be permitted to accompany them on a cross-country hike as they swing along for miles at a gait that would have been considered impossible a few years ago. We hope that the opportunity for play and wholesome recreation which hundreds of our girls have enjoyed in recent year may soon be extended to all girls. For as one experienced thinker tells us, "Play is not a luxury but a necessity." And without it we cannot hope to attain the maximum of efficiency, power and joy. Editor's Note: Miss Williams is recreation secretary, for Colored Works, National Young Women's Christian Association. WELCOME RECEPTION TO MRS. A. W. HUNTON. then presented the guest of honor, Mrs. Hunton. In her opening remarks Mrs. Hunton emphasized the fact that America is the home of the Negro and that the race has found itself and realizes its power. The men who have been abroad have returned with a deeper consciousness of the great task awaiting them. The mission of the women workers with the army was largely to provide them with the moral, in both a spiritual and material way. The arduous task set before the Negro soldiers in the Argonne was the revolting but necessary work of gathering up the dead and decaying corpses from the battlefield, searching for bodies for identification tags and then interring them in the new Argonne cemetery. White soldiers had mutinied and had been relieved from this gruesome duty, but the colored troops had been able to overcome the task with the stern warning that they would be moved down by machine guns if they faltered.4 It was the mission of the women workers to so cheer and comfort the men engaged in this revolting labor that they should not falter nor shirk. When these men returned from bringing in a load of purified corps that poisoned the air for miles around, it required all the devices of moral encouragement and physical comforts to stimulate them to renewed exertions. But they invariably responded to arguments as to the necessity for performance of duty under such trying circumstances and the fact that their compliance attested the highest conception of military duty and proved their title as good citizens. This was up by providing such physical comforts and individual aid to food and appetizing dainies. Mrs. Hunton emphasized the chivalrous behavior of these colored troops toward women in general, and especially toward the colored women engaged in welfare work among them. At the conclusion of Mrs. Hunton's address, refreshments were served and general conversation followed. Throughout the reception the Incomparable Orchestra of five pieces from the Ziegedel Follies, under the direction of Albert Ross, discoursed exquisite music. 10,000 AGENTS WANTED TO SELL BISHOP'S THREE-IN-ONE HAIR GROWER ONE OF THE GREATEST HAIR PRODUCERS THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN Learn the Bishop's Three-in-One System of Growing.

Every now and again some more than ordinarily acute exponent of public sentiment in the South perceives the harmful results of murder becoming a habit in that section and has the courage to point this out to its readers: The latest influential daily to make such a frank expression of its sentiments on this question was the Columbia State. Basing its editorial on the reported attacks on Negroes in Georgia, merely because they were, Negroes, the State went on to say that when a crime is committed by a Negro and white rufians set out to chase and kill other Negroes, against whose innocence there is no shadow of evidence, "these white men place themselves on the level of the Turks who massacre Armenians—they are a disgrace to the citizenry of any land, civilized or semicivilized." This is pretty strong language for a South Carolina newspaper to use in denouncing the killing of Negroes, even if it takes a killing outside of its own State for example. But the gist of its argument lies in the following deduction: The hands of graves of white men slain by white men are in the cemeteries of the South, because of the toleration and tacit encouragement of murder of Negroes, for when the white jury neglets to punish the murderer of a Negro it fosters murder as a habit. Probably never was an innocent Negro slaughtered in the South that some white man, not in any way connected with the quarrel, did not bite the dust as a result of it, for the simple reason that crime is a disease that draws no color line and white men inflicted with it by the killing of Negroes infect their brethren. If it is in the law of nature that the killing of Negroes does not go unavenged and there is many a family of white orphans in the South that owe their sorrowful condition to the folly that permits the practice of lawlessness against men with black skins. This view of the matter is starting, especially coming from a Southern white newspaper, but no one can deny its logical conclusion. It shows a realization of the waging of natural laws that should be impressed upon the communities where the laws of God and man are held in but little respect. THE SOCIAL BUGABOO Again in the news dispatches of the past week, it was reported that some group of Negro leaders, in some community in North Carolina, found it necessary, or at least expedient, to disavow any attempt at what it termed "social equality," in demanding just trust for the race. Such a disavowal ought not to be necessary, is indeed it would not be but for the manner in which the term "social equality" is storted by the whites of the South, in order to discredit any claim made by colored people for fair treatment. Under this term of "social equality," the white leaders of repression include any and every plan for the betterment of living conditions, whether it be for improved imitation, better schools, equal protection under the laws, or the right to vote. The scare crowd of "social equality" is used to frighten the more liberal and enlightened sentiment of the community from acting favorably upon these fundamental rights. This use of the term "social equality" cannot proceed from ignorance of the distinction between the equality of citizenship rights that should prevail before the law, and the social relations that are a matter of personal choice between individuals of the same position in society; it is deliberately done in order to create a moral bugaboo, that will "keep the Negro in his place" as not possessed of any rights that a white man is bound to respect. But there undoubtedly does exist a large class of whites in the South who suffer themselves to be gulled and hoodwinked by the waving of this scarecrow of "social equality." Of course, it does not argue a very strong reliance on the vaunted "superiority of the white race," if it is feared that the accordance of simple justice to the Negro would overthrow that boasted superiority. But it might reassure these fearful ones to learn that there do exist communities in various sections of the country, where it has been found possible for the maintenance of equal rights before the law to exist without any question of "social equality" becoming involved in the slightest degree. For instance, in many of our great cities, and in some smaller ones as well, black and white citizens are found dwelling on the same streets, with equal police protection, equal sanitary improvements, equal school facilities, equal accommodation on the street and railroad cars, and the equal right to vote at the polls, or to be voted for. Yet in their social relations in the home and in social organizations these same citizens exercise their personal prerogative to choose their own associates. Why is it when equal facilities in the matters relating to citizenship and living conditions are sought for in the South, the bugaboo of "social equality" is always invoked? The absurdity of the idea is so transparent that it would provoke laughter, if the result were not so appalling. Let the enlightened leaders of the white South seek to banish this bugaboo of "social equality" by the spread of reason and intelligence. --- A SILK SHIRT STORY. The Savings Division of the U. S. Treasury Department is conducting a campaign for the promotion of thrift. One of the arguments recently advanced in this campaign is that extravagance in America is not confined to the rich. If it were, says this successor to Ben Franklin, the high cost of living would have been solved long ago. He continues: For extravagance plays directly into the hands of the profiteers. The total sum wasted in an orgy of spending by the rich, great as they may be, are small compared with the totals represented by the wasting of a few dollars each by the wage earners and the poor. A Baltimore paper recently published a story of a colored workingman who went to a haberdasher for shirts. He absolutely declined to look at any but the most expensive and finally left with twelve silk shirts at $9 each. It is an extravagance for a millionaire to buy a dozen $9 silk shirts. Mighty few of them do so. But $108 would represent far less than a day's income for the millionaire but it represented probably three weeks of grinding time for the workingman. Of course this story soquds like an exaggeration and quite probably but nevertheless there is no doubt that there is enough money expended by those of small means in foolish luxuries to justify the criticism magie. In the case of the colored workingman, the money so hardly earned and quickly spent, usually goes to a white dealer in the luxuries desired. If the men of the race who are mature good money at this period would invest a portion of it in some 22. VIEWS and REVIEWS By James Wolden Johnson, Contributing Editor ACT AT ONCE!

So let investigation; if they succeed not going to do it. For if the truth about racial conditional investigation. I learned on. Leader of The Age telegraph from his State. And, further person he can, white as we Congress receive a HUNDRED this matter they will pay to receive FIVE HUNDREDS, that's true," and refuse to Since our editorial of last week in which we reproduced the resolution introduced in the Senate by Senator Curtis providing for a Congressional investigation of mob violence and urged all readers of The Age to send a telegram or letter of endorsement to their Senators, a similar resolution has been introduced in the House of Representatives by Congressman L. C. Dyer, of Missouri. The Dyer resolution reads almost identical with the Curtis resolution, and is introduced with the same purpose. The introduction of a resolution in the House doubles the chances for getting a measure through Congress which will provide for a nation-wide investigation of race riots and lynchings. If one of the resolutions fail, the other might be passed. It would be still better if both of them passed. It is therefore the urgent duty of every colored man and woman in the country to telegraph or write at once to each member of Congress from their State endorsing the Dyer resolution and asking that they support the measure. The race is now going through the most critical period in its history. A lying propaganda is being spread all over the country against us. A propaganda which, if it succeeds, will excuse and justify every sort of repressive measure which our enemies might choose to take against us. If we can get the right kind of a Congressional investigation, this propaganda will be exposed. Some Southern members of Congress are now making threats of summoning certain radical Negro leaders to answer for the racial unrest in the country. That is exactly what the radical leaders want done. That is exactly what every thinking member of the race wants done. WE WANT THE WHOLE COUNTRY TO KNOW JUST WHAT CAUSED THE WASHINGTON RIOT. WE WANT THE WHOLE COUNTRY TO KNOW JUST WHAT CAUSED THE CHICAGO RIOT. WE WANT THE WHOLE COUNTRY TO KNOW JUST WHAT CAUSED THE LONGVIEW RIOT. WE WANT THE WHOLE COUNTRY TO KNOW JUST WHAT CAUSED THE KNOXVILLE RIOT. AND WE WANT THE WHOLE COUNTRY TO KNOW JUST WHAT IS CAUSING THE ARKANSAS RIOTS. Nobody in the United States will welcome the truth so much about the racial unrests in the country as the radical Negro leaders and the thoughtful members of the race. So let our enemies in Congress order an investigation; if they succeed it would save us the trouble. But they are not going to do it. For if there is anything they want to hide it is the truth about racial conditions. So it is up to us to fight for a Congressional investigation. It is up to us to fight to have the light turned on. So let every reader of The Age telegraph or write at once to every Congressman from his State. And, furthermore, let him try to induce every other person he can, white as well as colored, to do the same thing. If members of Congress receive a HUNDRED THOUSAND communications on this matter they will pay some attention to it. In fact, they ought to receive FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND. Don't say, "Yes, that's true," and refuse to act yourself. Act at Once. DEALING WITH MOBS. hard matter to put more bla- premeditated assininity of p- ave attended recent outbrea- ly true of Omaha, where a- rooyed, the life of the sherif- ed. eat deal of admiration and Omaha for the heroic stand- quences which he suffered It would be a hard matter to put more blame than belongs on the unconscious or premeditated assininity of police authorities for the results which have attended recent outbreaks of mob violence. This is especially true of Omaha, where a costly public building was almost destroyed, the life of the sheriff threatened and the mayor all but lynched. Naturally a great deal of admiration and sympathy has gone out to the mayor of Omaha for the heroic stand which he took and for the grave consequences which he suffered; but, after all, his stand and the consequences should and could have been made absolutely unnecessary. What would anyone think of the chief of a fire department who, on seeing a fire starting, keep his men squirting water on it through atomizers until the whole building was ablaze; and then, at the risk of his life, plunge into the burning structure to put out the flames? His act of plunging into the burning building might be a proof of bravery and heroism, but the fact that such a chance on the building and such a risk to the lives of himself, and his men were avoidable would make the whole course of his action assinine. This is just the sort of thing which was allowed to happen in Omaha. The fire of the mob spirit began to kindle and blaze and spread for several days before it became a great conflagration; and all the while the police were busy squirting on it through atomizers. A mob is never the result of the spontaneous and simultaneous uprising of ten thousand or one thousand or even one hundred people. A mob is always the result of the activities of one person or of a very few persons. Around this small nucleus the mob begins to gather and grow until it becomes a raging, surging mass of humans turned, for the time, into beasts and fiends. When the mob reaches this stage it is beyond control. The plain duty then before police authorities when the mob spirit is sensed—and it is easy to sense—is not to allow any nucleus to be formed. In the two or three days before the mob reached the uncontrollable stage the Omaha police should not have allowed any gathering on the streets whatever. Whenever small knots of people came together they should have been promptly dispersed. This should have been done, even if it took guns to do it. If such a policy had been carried out no mob would have been formed. The Omaha authorities are now seeking a man named William Francis. This man is said to have ridden a horse at the head of the mob on the afternoon of the outbreak. The newspapers report that operative effort that would keep the money circulating to their own benefit, it would do much to stimulate the commercial growth of the job. Make the dollar earned earn an other dollar and help provide another job for another member of the race. If you don't see a practical way of doing this at once, then follow the advice of the successor of Ben Franklin and put a part of each week's income into War Savings Stamps and Treasury Certificates. As he says further, these securities are safe and profitable and when real need for the money arises, that money is available. Francis carried a rope on his saddle, with which he said he would "string him up"; and that he threw the rope out into the crowd several times and lectured to the mob when it seemed to weaken. It is all very well to arrest Francis now and punish him for his part in stirring up the mob, but the proper thing to have done was to arrest Francis while he was stirring up the mob. This should have been done by taking Francis alive, if possible; but dead, if necessary. When General Wood took charge in Omaha he gave a lesson to the police departments of every city in the country. The prime lesson which he gave was contained in the order which he issued to his men. He said to them: "When you go to make an arrest use no more force than is necessary and use all the force that is necessary. Remember you are sent for a certain man. Come back with him. Bring him in alive, if possible. But bring him in." The chief weakness of police authorities all over the country is that they temporise with mobs whenever the intended victim of the mob is a Negro. And they do this because ninety-nine out of every hundred white men whose sworn duty it is to uphold the law cannot bring themselves to the point of enforcing the law TO THE UT-MOST against white men for the protection of a Negro. Away down in their hearts they do not believe that white mobbists should be killed in order to give a Negro a fair trial before the law. Until officers of the law are men of sufficient courage to believe and act otherwise they will always be at the mercy of mobs. RABBIT-HEARTED "LEADERS."

Living times, but let us stand firm; firm right. We are right and truth is on our face should fear. Every week sees a declaration in the newspapers issued by some rabbit-hearted "leader" or group of "leaders" condemning the men and women of the race who are to-day making a determined fight for equal justice and equal opportunity, and asserting that all that is now needed to settle the problem is to leave it in the hands of "our best friends," the Southern white people. Any man or woman who has watched the development of events and forces during the past two or three years must realize that if the American Negro fails at this particular moment, he has failed for the next fifty years. If the American Negro fails to hold the front line trench in which he is now fighting, he is in for a long and disastrous retreat. The forces against us in this country are to-day making a gigantic effort to stamp out once and for all every hope of equal rights and equal opportunity that the race has. To destroy our progressive organizations, and to destroy our progressive press. In a word, to compel the Negro to accept and be contented with a permanently inferior position from which he will never dare to aspire. If the American Negro cannot to-day, when the masses of the entire world are stirred to ideals of common democracy, stand firm for those ideals and die for them, if necessary, he will not get another chance to share in them, perhaps, for another century. Now, if there is any Negro in the United States who hasn't sense enough to see and understand that this is true, he has a brain so small that if he tried to get a hat to fit it he would find that a thimble would come down over his ears. But most of these rabbit "leaders" take their position not because they lack brain; they take it because they lack courage, either physical or moral. Of course, if a man is born with the heart of a rabbit, there is some excuse for him. It is unreasonable to expect courage from such a man. So for colored men who are sincerely frightened at the critical state of affairs and are counselling peace, peace at any and every price, submission, if necessary, in order to obtain peace, for those men we have sympathy, if not pity. But for the other fellow we have no respect. For the fellow who is using this crisis to batten off his craven utterances; to hold on to his job; or to get a fatter job; for that fellow we have nothing but contempt. I understand and realize that a job means bread, and that bread is a vital thing. I know that men who have been willing to sacrifice bread for the sake of principle have been few in the history of the world. Such men are of the stuff that heroes are made of; and heroes are not made every day or every year, or every century. So I know that there are colored men in many places who are not in a position to speak out frankly and fearlessly for the things which they know to be true and right. But if such men cannot carry out the obligation to speak out for what is true and right, they should at least carry out the obligation to keep their mouths shut. For myself I will say that if I were dependent on the good-will of the reactionary white South for bread for myself and for those who looked to me for bread I might be forced to realize that I could not speak out as loudly and boldly as I wished for the rights of manhood and citizenship for myself and my people, but by any god that lives I swear that I would cut out my tongue before I would be forced to repudiate those rights. These are trying times, but let us stand firm; firm for what is true and what is right. We are right and truth is on our side. There is nothing that we should fear. AS THE SOUTH SEES IT. Americus (Ga.) Times-Recorder Senator John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, does not always speak the thoughts of the people of the South, but he correctly interpreted the South's attitude in the Senate yesterday when he was discussing the Omaha tragedy. He was rplying to Senator Borah, of Idah, with Senator Hiram Johnson, one of the bitterest foes of President Wilson and the League of Nations, who was attempting to connect the Omaha affair with the League. "I will go in the pathways of peace as fag as any man—I would be willing to arbitrate almost any thing except outrages on a woman by black or white. I would surrender him as a criminal beyond the pale to the first crowd that came to get him," said Senator Williams. "The conduct of the criminal at Omaha deprives me of all the inclination and power to say one word against crowd that captured the criminal and punish the crime. Race is greater than law, and now then, the protection of women transends all law, human and devine. "This miserable bast in Omaha paid the just debt for his crime. When it comes to violating innocent women, it is no time to go to court. But here we have men pleading for law and order while helpless women are being treated by benets as they please, and yet these same men don't want any international law.

There in the land, and yet he's unwilling to stand for established law in the world. "Washington and Jefferson sought a just and enduring peace. That is what I seek in advocating the League of Nations. The President sought it in Paris, Rome and the United States. He has spent energy, intellect and almost life. He has received curses and calumny. "The Senator from Idaho has been preaching peace, peace, when it comes to niggers, when capital and labor are involved, and yet when he comes to international affairs he is standing in the pathway of every thing to which he has paid so high an oratorical tribute. He wants America to stand isolated. She couldn't do it forty-eight hours even if she waged to." Senator Borah replied that there is no justification for the lynching of any member of the man family. Which as an abstract principal is correct. But when men come in contact with the type of crime that has caused these deplorable affairs they cease to think of abstract principles and deal only with concrete matters. Senator Borah's principal is right—but there isn't a doubt in the world that he would lead a mob in pursuit of any man, black or white, which dared to defile his own mother, wife or daughter. Northern Senators talk or passing laws to stop lynching Volumes of such laws will never stop it. No law can be enforced which has not the public sentiment behind it—and without public sentiment in favor of it there would be lynching. Stop outrages against white women and lynching will go out of fashion—both North and South. PETRIMENO CITIZEN'S EFFORT FOR HARMONY Petersburg, Va.—A large crowd assembled in the Metropolitan Church in the great altarion morning called by the Rev. Hil Todd last Monday night. The meeting did not get under way until 9:30 o'clock, being delayed by the mayor, who was the principal speaker, and the Richmond jubilee songsters of King David. The various dignitaries finally assembled. On the rostrum were Mayor Robt. Gilliam, Prof. J. M. Gandy, president V. N. and I. Institute; Prof. J. E. Saunders, representing the War Camp Community League; the Rev. R. H. Cookey, a local preacher; A. J. Tyas, a white citizen. The Rev. Tarrt welcomed his guests in the name of the church. Dr. W. A. Clarke, master of ceremonies, stated the purpose of the meeting as being an effort to "get closer together to reach a common understanding and thereby bind the races closer together." He stated that a set program had not been arranged and the gentlemen called upon would speak from subjects of their own selection. A local quartet sang very creditably. David's basso profundo had not arrived and this constituted a serious handicap. Mr. Sainders of the W. C. C. League was the first speaker. 'His efforts were confined to boosting the league work and ended in a general invitation to his hearers to get behind the work and push it to success. A. J. Tyas, the white speaker, deplored the present unrest but was certain of an amicable solution if each race would let the Holy Spirit enter to a greater degree in its relations. Pres. Gandy of the State School was received with applause. He said among other things that the Nerro problem could not be solved by fighting. He condemned those of the race who would fight to right its grievances, for, he declared, the race would certainly get the worst of it. And, finally his opinion was that the problems of our day could not be worked out with the shotgun but would have to be worked out on lines of mutual good will and fellowship. After Prof. Gandy, the King's songsters burst forth with a selection entitled "Heaven." The Mayor expressed his pleasure at the attention shown him but confessed his inability to believe it was the desire to hear him which had brought such a crowd out. He congratulated the Rev. Taart and his congregation upon their continued success and commended the W. C. C. S. and other agencies of uplift work. He lauded the spirit of fair play and good will as it existed in the South, etc. He spoke at length on the benefits of slavery and charged that the people of Massachusetts were the first to institute slavery, but abandoned the custom because it was not profitable. Continuing, the Mayor denied that a great deal of difference exists between the races. He said, "In fact, there is no differences except in the younger people of both races who do not know any better." Speaking of school facilities the Mayor was very enthusiastic. He said the new colored schools on Jones street have no superior in the city. Reference was made to the ignorance of the Negro legislators of reconstruction times, when they tried a division of the school funds which would have been disastrous to Negro education. This, said the Mayor, was magnanimously corrected by their white co-legislators, thereby making the present benedicence possible. As evidence of the greater interest of the people in the methods of the present meeting, the Mayor recalled a meeting held by the local branch of the Advancement Association early in the year. The Mayor said although this meeting was widely advertised and had an eminent speaker, he was surprised at the poor attendance and compared with the present attendance, it was evidence that the people were not with it. The occasion mentioned by the Mayor was when Dean Pickens spoke at the Zion Baptist Church. It was a cold, stormy evening. A furious storm broke about the time the people would have been coming. And then the branch has opposition here and an admission fee was charged also. The impression made by the citizens' mass-meeting on the public mind is that nothing definite has been derived from the meeting, because the radical element of the race in town were not present, and it is reported were not invited. As all invited were previously of one mind, notwithstanding the existence of another excluded element who had grievances to adjust, it is evident that a mutual understanding would be impossible. It is honed that the Rev. Taart will call another meeting. NO HALF-WAY AMERICANS Philadelphia, Pa.-Judge Buffington, in Federal Court recently said; there are no such things as German Americans, nor Italian-Americans, nor Irish-Americans', nor any other halfway Americans; every person who lives in America must be either a full solid, whole hearted, whole souled American or not an American at all." This must also apply to Afro-Americans. Laborer Becomes Millionaire. A few years ago, John B. Key of Okmulgce, Okla, was a laborer receiving a wage of $1.20 a day. Now he is a millionaire in his own right and title. He got his start by striking oil on his land but he increased his earnings by careful real estate investments until today he owns twenty-five brick buildings all of which are occupied by white tenants. The effect of this example of success is that it promotes racial contentment. It was reported at the Business League that one Negro firm, the Poro Company, paid last year in income tax $100,000.—Southern Workman. Material Resources.

Mattie Wilkes To the patrons of the Lafayette Theatre "Madame X" is no new attraction, but despite the fact that it has been seen in Harlem on several occasions it is drawing large audiences this week to enthuse over the fine acting of Miss Abbie Mitchell an dher associates. There have been no material changes in the cast which is a well-balanced one. The principal work falls on the shoulders of Miss Mitchell, who appears in the title role, and Thomas Moseley as the son, Raymond. The acting of Miss Mitchell is truly remarkable, and Mr. Moseley is deserving of all the applause showered on him after his address to the jury. If you have never seen "Madam X" go to the Lafayette this week and enjoy a real dramatic treat. NEW MUSICAL SHOW AT The Lafayette Theatre management made another announcement this week that will set all Harlem talking, for it is along a certain line that hundreds of our people are interested in musical productions by our own people. This time it is the versatile Frank Montgomery and a company of well known artists who will entertain patrons of Harlem's popular theatre all of next week, and the offering is called "Hello 1919," a musical review dealing with the times and one guaranteed to keep audiences entertained from start to finish.

At the evening service; the Lord's Supper and baptism were administered to a large congregation and ten persons were welcomed by the church. All plans were matured for the celebration of the pastor's fourth anniversary on the third Sunday of this month, which will be followed on Monday night by a reception and fellowship supper to which the community is cordially invited. ST. MARK'S M. E. CHURCH. Sunday, October 8, ushered in the first Sunday of the Fall rally. The morning and evening services were attended by large congregations. The Rev. Joseph H. Jenkins of Morgan College and Drew Theological Seminary and at present District Superintendent in the Washington Conference, the preacher on both occasions. The text of his morning sermon was, St. John, xvi, 24; theme, "Praying in Jesus' name." In the course of his sermon the Rev. Jenkins gave a graphic definition of prayer and held great stress upon the efficacy of prayer when used as a medium by which we enter into conversation with God. "The evening text was Mahachi, jiji; theme, "Unconscious Robbery." The Rev. Jenkins emphatically declared that we too frequently rob God by not giving Him sufficient time in service and labor. He asserted that we rob God of His title when we walk until old age before giving ourselves to Him, instead of concealing our lives to Him while young, thereby building of His kindness us in the upbuilding of His kindness we want every one to give unto Him, one-tenth of his earnings, time and service. At the morning service one person joined the church. The choir rendered excellent music. The whole month of October will be given over to the annual fall rally. FIRST EMMANUEL CHURCH. The church was filled at both services. Pastor Bolden is prescribing a series of sermons from Matthew xvi, 17, which are proving helpful and interesting. "And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou Simon Bar-jama, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee but my Father which is in heaven." One came forward and joined the church. A full choir rendered inspiring music. The Sunday School was conducted by Miss Alice Holloway, assistant superintendent. The classes were well attended. The Literary Society met with Mrs. G. Washington in charge of the program as follows: Solo, Miss Elder Hose; duet, the Rev. Johnson and Mrs. Hose; recital, J. Walter reception, Mrs. G. Washington.

The choir sang the anthems, "I am Alpha and Omaega," and "I'm a pilgrim." S. R. Joliet and Miss T. Greene were soloists. Dinner was served during the day by the priest, the Rev. Mra.
