Louisanna Seek Cause of Migration To North BAD TREATMENT; LOW PAY Negroes Possessed With Feeling That They Have No Chance for A Square Deal in South. New Orleans, La.—Dr. James H. Dillard, formerly dean of Tulane University of New Orleans, and now president of the Jeanes Fund Board and director of the Slater Fund, of Charlottesville, Va., is in Louisiana, investigating the migration of Negroes to the North, as the special agent of Commissioner Wilson, of the Department of Labor, at Washington. Dr Dillard spent one day in New Orleans, where he conferred with Mayor Martin Behrman and other city officials on the Negro exodus and their opinion as to the remedy for it. Thereafter he went to Baton Rouge for a conference with 40 Jeanes Fund supervising teachers of rural Negro schools of Louisiana and Mississippi. "The causes of the migration of the 250,000 Negroes who have left the South for the North, have not yet been determined exactly," said Dr. Dillard, "but there are two principles which certainly underlie the movement: First, the lack of adequate white labor in the North, due to the sloppage of immigration from Europe, and second, the growing discontent of the Negroes and the feeling possessed by all of them that they have no chance of a square deal in the South. "The mistaken idea exists that this vast army of laborers has been enticed to the North through the devices of labor agents and of the railroad for the purpose of securing fees for the former and transportation payment for the latter. My observation is that less than one-fourth of the total has been induced to move by either of these causes. To my mind, the migration of the Negro to the North is purely an economic problem. In many instances, the Negroes have been poorly, paid, as low as 70 cents a day, and we all know what such an allowance amounts to at present prices offood. "My investigations also indicate that the migration has been by no means confined to the poorer classes of Negroes. Negroes who earned what was considered good wages in the South, found they could nearly or quite double them in the North, and, naturally enough, they went. As I have said before, the cause of the migration is purely economic and must be settled by finding the solution in the payment and treatment of the Negro in the South. The hardest part of the situation is that the majority of the migrants have been young Negroes, who have gone northward, leaving the old to take care of themselves. In many instances, however, I find that the young Negroes have remained loyal and have sent money regularly to parents they left behind in the South." KNIGHTS OF GIDEON GRAND LODGE SESSION POSTPONED The S. Lodge of Knights of Gideon that was to have met next week in its 20th Grand Lodge Session at East Radford, Va., received notice from Sir C. J.

LOCAL COLORED MUSICIANS DELIGHTING LARGE CROWDS It may be news to many of the colored people in this city to know that music formerly furnished the patrons of the exclusive Monticello Hotel, by white musicians, is now being rendered nightly by local colored artists. When Colonel Consolvo, the progressive manager of the famous hostelry, observed during his northern trips that the best people, even of the smart set of New York, were catering to Negro musicians, he determined to try the experiment here, and judging from the nightly throngs that patronize Atop the Roof, the beautiful roof garden of Norfolk's finest hotel, the experiment has been met with popular favor. The manner in which the numbers are received, goes to verify the claim that Negro musicians play dance better than their white rivals. The orchestra is under the direction of Prof. E. C. Crocker, a Norfolk boy, assisted by eight others. Colonel Consolvo and his patrons are immensely pleased with the work of the orchestra, and hardly a selection is played that is not followed by an encore.

MEETING OF CLUB WOMEN OF VIRGINIA Visitors From Other States Tell Of Social Uplift Work In Their Hampton, Va., June 28.—The Club Women of Virginia met at 8 p. m. in Cleveland Hall, Hampton Institute, with Mrs. J. M. Norcom, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the Virginia Federation, presiding. E. M. Wallace of the Arkansas Federation acted as secretary. They had as their guests, the club women from the States who are attending the Summer School. The president after a few remarks stated that the meeting was held in order that the club women from other States might meet those of Virginia, and become better acquainted, and asked that the visitors say a few words about the club work at home. Many did so, and it was interesting to hear of so much being accomplished for the uplift of our people, by the colored women's clubs. Mrs. Hale of the Tennessee Federation told of the relief work done by the club women during the storms this spring. E. M. Wallace, Superintendent of Education of the Arkansas Federation, told of the Reform School or Industrial Home, which the Federation of Arkansas is supporting.

Miss Lois Shephard of Norfolk was present and gave an interesting talk about the work of the club women of Norfolk in looking after strangers, etc. So inspiring was the meeting that all voted for another one during the Summer School.

The Agricultural and Technical College Opens Its Eighteenth Annual Summer School Session. Greensboro, N. C.—Despite the general unrest growing out of the conditions created by the conflict in which the world is now engaged, the eighteenth annual session of the A. & T. Summer School opened June 25 with an excellent enrollment of teachers from four states, the District of Columbia and three foreign countries. Nineteen counties of North Carolina are represented. This group of students is made up of teachers who are preparing themselves to meet the additional demands of racial uplift in the immediate future and to cope with the call to new fields of activity that must follow in the wake of the present world war. The aim of the college is to meet the demand of those who are preparing themselves for better service and has called to the work in the summer school specialists in the various branches of work offered. Much time is given to courses designed for increasing interest in the production, conservation and preservation of foodstuffs. For nearly a quarter of a century this college has contributed nobly to the Negroes' advancement by means of its excellent facilities for good technical training in the regular session, and special training given to teachers during the summer normals that have been held regularly for the past eighteen years. A survey of the present activities of the college is sufficient to assure the most casual observer that this noted institution has lost none of its pristine virtues and that it is yet one of the most productive agencies for the uplift of the youth of an aspiring race. The work of the summer school is under the direct supervision of Dr. S. B. Jones, Director of the Academic Department of the college, with the following assistants: Profs. J. H. Bluford, W. N. Nelson, W. F. Hooker, C. Winslow, W. E. Low, C. L. Foster, C. S. Wynns, A. L. Mebane, D. J. Jordian, F. D. Bluford, F. C. Johnson, C. B Reid, D. C. Fleming, W. H. Markham, Dr. J. W. Cordice, Dr. E.

PRICE: FIVE CENTS THE LYNCHING RECORD OF 1917 Fourteen "Regular Lynchings Occured During First Six Months of Year. 11 LESS THAN LAST YEAR Thirteen Negroes, One a Feeble-Minded Woman, and One White Man Dr. Robt. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, has sent out the following statement with reference to the number of lynchings that have occurred during the first six months of 1917. Editor Journal and Guide Sir:—I send you the following, relative to lynchings for the first six months of the year. I find according to the records kept by Monroe N. Work, head of the Division of Records and Research of the Tuskegee Institute, that in this period there have been 14 lynchings. This is 11 less than the number, 25, for the first six months of 1916 and 20 less than the number, 34, for the first six months of 1915. In 10 instances, through the bravery of officers of the law and by other means, mobs were thwarted and lynchings prevented. Of those inched, 13 were Negroes and 1 was white. Four of those put to death, 1 white and 3 Negroes were charged with the crime of rape. One of those put to death was a Negro woman, reported to have been of unsound mind, who in resisting arrest wounded an officer of the law. I gather from reading Negro newspapers and from other sources, that in spite of the notable decrease in the number of victims of mob violence for the six months, the horrors connected with the recent burning at the stake near Memphis has increased among Negroes the fear of lynchings and accelerated their migration to the North. Yours very truly. ROBERT R. MOTON, Principal. Mrs. Carrie S. Harrison and son of Gay Street, accompanied by Mrs. Harrison's mother, left for Portsmouth to spend the summer. The marriage of Rev. W. E.

Tucker, Bishop Coadjutor, ordained to the Deaconate Mr. Meedie Burnett Birchett in St. James P. E. Church Sunday, July 1, 1917, at 11 a. m. The sermon was preached by the Rev. James S. Russell, D. D., Archdeacon of Southern Virginia, who recently declined the Suffragan Bishopric of Arkansas, and who also recently received the honorary degree of D. D. from Theological Seminary of Virginia. The large audience which filled the church listened with keen interest to the burning words of the speaker, who was easily at his best in eloquence and thought, in which he charged the candidate that if he would edify the church and win souls for Christ he must do it not by eloquence or persuasive speech, but by preaching Christ and him crucified, and living him in his daily life. A more expressive service was never witnessed. The good Bishop Randolph, in his exortation, with eyes filled with tears of emotion urged the congregation to stick together and work with their minister. The Archdacon to the delight of all, remained throughout the day and preached another very interesting sermon to just an appreciable audience at 6 o'clock service. He left the 7:32 train for Lawrenceville much impressed with the work at Portsmouth. The church which had received special attention from the various guilds of the women, presented a very pleasing appearance on the interior, while the exterior was not a whit behind in that it had received special attention from the men who had erected a beautiful wire fence on the front and had placed a lovely coat of white-wash on the side fences and the trunks of the trees which are in the yard, which gave the whole church a most welcome appearance. Much credit is due the congregation and friends for the interest manifested. The Rev. Mr. Birchett, who is placed in charge of the work at St. James, is a graduate of St. Paul's School, Lawrenceville, Va.; the Academy of Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio, and the Bishop Payne Divinity School, Petersburg, Va. From the later with special class honors. He comes to us highly recommended by the faculty of Bishop Payne and by Archdeacon Russell. We wish for him a most glorious future in his work.

THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE KEEP BAPTIST FAMILY UNITED ORIGIN OF ISSUES INVOLVED Leaders of Mammoth Religious Organization Outline Plan to Settle Controversy Over Business Enterprise. To Hold Convention at Muskogee, Okla. In September. As a result of the meeting of the executive committee of the National Baptist convention, held the early part of June in Atlanta, Ga., a vigorous campaign of enlightenment has been launched among the Negro Baptists of the country. A national campaign committee, with Dr. L. K. Williams of Chicago as chairman, is to have one member from each state, a local executive committee, with headquarters in Chicago, and an advisory committee of a hundred or more Baptist laymen, and a general representative of the National Baptist convention for each state has also been designated. The object of the campaign is to make the coming session of the National Baptist convention to be held in Muskogee, Okla., during the second week of September next the largest and most successful session ever held by that body. Efforts will be made to get before the people the real issues that have arisen between the National Baptist convention and one of its former secretaries, the Rev. R. H. Boyd. It is the claim of the National Baptist convention that it founded the National Baptist Publishing Board, located at Nashville, Tenn., and intrusted it to the management of the Rev. R. H. Boyd and eight associates, who acknowledged this fact for nineteen years. They base their claim on the wording of the chapter, which reads: "Be it known that we, R. H. Boyd, E. C. Morris, C. H. Clark, J. P. Robinson, G. M. Moore, E. J. Fisher, J. E. Knox, G. W. D. Galanes and their successors, chosen under the rules and regulations of the National Baptist convention of the United States and holding office under the rules, usages and regulations of said convention, are hereby constituted a body politic and corporate by the name and style of the National Baptist Publishing Board of said convention of the Baptist. church or denomination." The Rev. R. H. Boyd claims that the National Baptist Publishing Board is independent of all conventions and is in the sole charge of himself and nine other men, subject only to the laws of the state of Tennessee, which granted the charter, as it is alleged. He makes the claim of personal and individual creation of the National Baptist Publishing Board, while admitting the authorship of articles describing the launching and growth of the enterprise, in which he says: "To my great surprise and much to my regret, the convention said to me in unmistakable tones, 'Thou art the man.' For twenty-five years I had been attempting to answer every call made by the Baptists, endeavoring to obey every command given by them, and now that it said to me and four others associated with me, 'Go from this convention and publish for the Sunday schools periodicals by Jan. 1, 1917.' my only answer was that the Baptists that have called the National convention had commanded the die cast, and the Rubicon is crossed." The issue has been joined in court. Rev. R. H. Boyd has organized his following to help him maintain his convention. The National Baptist convention desires to maintain the unity of the Negro Baptist family and is seeking to put facts before the people that will cause them to abide in full force by the parent organization founded by the late distinguished William J. Simmons, LL D., of Kentucky and presided over by Dr. E. C. Morris, Heleena, Ark., for the past twenty years or more. Many side issues have been injected into the controversy, but the National Baptist convention will endeavor to focus the attention of its constituency on what it regards as the real issue—namely, whether it or an independent group of nine men shall control the publishing interests of its following of more than 2,500,000 people. A document covering the main issue and all of the known issue issues raised has been prepared by Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, and it is the plan of this committee to issue and distribute 100,000 copies of the document. The officials of the National Baptist convention feel that they can rest their cause fully upon their statement of the case. Persons desiring copies of the statement, which is entitled "Stuiborn Facts," can secure copies free of charge by including postage for mailing the sauf to Rev. I. K. Williams, Twenty-seventh and Dearborn streets, Chicago. If there are churches that feel that they need light on this subject or if there are those that think that certain churches need information they are asked to communicate with Dr. Williams. If there are associations or conventions to meet in any state within the next three months where National Baptist convention issues are likely to arise or where the question should be raised for the good of the convention it is requested that the name of the organization, time and place of meeting and the name of the moderator or president be sent to Dr. Williams. Founder, General Manager and Secretary of the National Benefit Association at Washington. His Achievements as Organizer and Business Man. A. M. Progress in every department and detail of work is noted in the annual report of the National Benefit association, with headquarters in Washington. The organization had its inception in the thrift and industry of Samuel W. Rutherford, who is regarded as one of the most successful business men of our race. The association, which gives employment to more than 100 men and women of the race, was organized eighteen years ago, with a few dollars and only desk room for an office. By wise business management and persistent effort on the part of Mr Rutherford and his associates, the organization has steadily grown from year to year, until its members number up into the thousands and its resources into the hundreds of thousands. The concern does business in seven states and the District of Columbia. Its achievements have been phenomenal and its benefits to the race are manifold. Eighteen years ago Mr. Rutherford general manager and secretary of the association, was working for a secret society on a small salary and commission. He is now receiving from his own business a living salary, is comfortably fixed and is his own boss. He has the confidence of the public and is widely known for his fairness to his patrons and those in his employ. The National Benefit association has put out of commission the traditional theory that colored people will not, when employed by their own race, give as good service as they will when employed by other races under similar circumstances. The report further shows that the total assets of the association amount to $273,217.S7. In order to put new energy into the work and increase its resources the concern has adopted a broader policy for carrying into effect additional lines of service and entering into new territory. Every colored man or woman who makes a success in business raises the standard of race pride and race integrity and worth higher. gives inspiration to our youth and increases the respect and good will for our people among the other races. BEREAN BAPTIST CHURCH. Brooklyn Congregation Installs the Rev A. C. Matthews as Pastor. The Berean Baptist church in Brooklyn recently held a series of meetings dedicating the enlargement of its church edifice located on Bergen street near Rochester avenue. The Rev. A. C. Matthews, B.D., who has been serving the congregation as temporary pastor, was installed as the permanent pastor. The Rev. Mr. Matthews has done a praiseworthy work as leader of the congregation and has thus been made permanent pastor on his merit. The celebration was held for ten days and was participated in by pastors, laymen and professional men of Brooklyn and New York city. The Rev. Mr. Matthews represents the younger men of the ministry and is a zeolous worker in civic and religious movements in Greater New York. A bright future is predicted for the Berean Baptist church under his leadership. OUR HONOR GRADUATES. Names of Those Who Finished Course at Yale and Harvard.

THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE IMPORTANT WORK FOR EDUCATION NEED OF BETTER EQUIPMENT Facts Presented In Report of Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones Show Lack of Proper Facilities For Doing Effective Work—Short School Terms and Poor Attendance Constitute Big Problem. In his recent report on educational facilities for the colored people, which he recently completed for the federal bureau of education and the Phelps-Stokes fund, Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones says: "Since an efficient school system not only enrolls the pupils, but also holds them in school with some degree of regularity until they have finished the elementary grades, it is evident that the low attendance in colored schools is the first great problem to be solved. The improvement of attendance requires not only a better school plant, trained teachers and more effective work, but also a stronger interest in the school among the masses of the colored people that they may place more emphasis on regularity and punctuality in attendance. "The multiplication of small, one room schools, which has led to "the movement for consolidation in the case of white children, has not extended to the colored schools. Colored schools have never multiplied fast enough to be too close together, and it is not uncommon to find pupils who have walked six or seven miles to attend school." And when the children get to school, the report continues, they are apt to find it not only overcrowded, but also taught in a building not owned by the public authorities. In Alabama over 60 per cent of the schools are taught in such buildings, and in Georgia the condition is even worse. "So long as the school is housed in such a temporary manner," says Dr. Jones, "it is exceedingly difficult to arouse the interest of teachers, pupils or patrons sufficiently to improve the plant or add to the value of the property." As for overcrowding, the report mentions a careful survey made by state supervisors in three typical counties of Alabama, where the seating capacity of the eighty colored schools was 3,794, their enrollment was 6,391 and their attendance was 5,832. Dr. Jones also emphasizes the danger of the large average group of pupils in the schools and points out that the average school term in the south is less than six months, in Alabama, Florida; Louisiana and the Carolinas the term being less than five months. As for the teachers, Dr. Jones says in part: "The teachers of colored public schools occupy a peculiarly important position. They are not only the chief agents in stimulating the interest of the colored people in the public schools, but they are also in a position to present the needs of the colored schools effectively to the school officials. Their work, well done, will not only produce better trained men and women, but will also develop friendly and helpful relations between the white and colored people of the south. "Such a responsibility should be placed only on well trained teachers. Observation, however, shows that the large majority of the teachers now in the schools are utterly incapable of any responsibility. The chapter on 'Teacher Training' in this report makes plain the fact that the public provision for training colored teachers is negligible. Even the private schools supply only a small proportion of the number needed. The question of teachers' salaries, white and colored, has received considerable attention, and some improvement in the salaries of white teachers has been made. The wage scale of colored teachers is still very low, however." The report points out that where the system is in force of paying the jailer so much per capita for boarding the prisoners the minimum amount fixed is generally $150. With this figure in mind the comparative table for the salaries of white and colored teachers in eight southern states is illuminating. Some of the figures are: Alabama, white, $355; colored, $159; Georgia, white, $319; colored, $119; Kentucky, white, $323; colored, $310; North Carolina, white, $197; colored, $119; South Carolina, white, $333; colored, $110. "The inadequate compensation is ample explanation of the poor teaching found in most of the rural public schools for colored people. It is little wonder that 70 per cent of the teachers in the 'black belt' states have less than six grades of elementary education." Discussing in another part of his report the relative interest taken by the south in its white and colored public school, Dr. Jones says that the rapid increase of the appropriations for white schools during the past few years, and especially the multiplication of white high schools in the southern states have given rise to the belief that the appropriations for Negro schools have actually decreased. While this is probably true in some counties, the school records show an increase in the state appropriations for both the white and colored schools.

JULY 7, 1917 COMMUNITY BUILDING Among the many and interesting pro- fession-grace-uplift that devolve upon Afro-America, as a burden but as a pleasure, the sa- men others who are determined to have the four magnificent civilization, one is that of a unity building, in which home-making is a factor. A community may consist of families or a hundred thousand, and it may consist of many homes or hovels; it depends upon aanner of creatures compose it. That men would have that many tents or abode many Africans in their country would be same; so many Asiatics, for the most have the same. We find that a dition exists, as a rule, only among Chippews. Why this is so let the learned an Home-making and community-building have them in the United States reef, that we call the highest and best civil there is always much that is undesirable in most of communities, but what is desirable in weighs that which is not. In one of the leaflets put out by the Institute we find the following inte- tents bearing upon Community Building: "Eight thousand men and women have left from Hampton into the South and trained in teaching, trained in home-built in the trades. In taking their pliages industrial schools of the South and needs of communities, this army of work helped to decrease the illiteracy of the Negro approximately 100 to 30 per cent." This Hampton record is only one of such schools we have scattered through country engaged in the same work of prep and service that Hampton is. They have a great work, the good results of which able to see and to estimate wherever we specially in the communities of the South. Fortunately, here in Norfolk, we have examples of community building among Americans that command respect and joy and which promise great things in life from their small beginnings in the past fortunately, also, many financiers here, as the community is established, or well on the begin another which they offer to home-makers on reasonable terms. These utilities, some day, will be great and promising with happy people who have wisely. Let the good work continue. Among the many and interesting problems of race-uplift that devolve upon Afro-Americans, not as a burden but as a pleasure, the same as upon others who are determined to have the best in our magnificent civilization, one is that of community building, in which home-making is the prime factor. A community may consist of two families or a hundred thousand, and it may have that many homes or hovels; it depends upon what manner of creatures compose it. That many Indians would have that many tents or abode huts; so many Africans in their country would have the same; so many Asiatics, for the most part, would have the same. We find that a different condition exists, as a rule, only among Christian peoples. Why this is so let the learned answer. Home-making and community-building, as we have them in the United States represent what we call the highest and best civilization. There is always much that is undesirable in the best of communities, but what is desirable usually outweighs that which is not. In one of the leaflets put out by the Hampton Institute we find the following interesting facts bearing upon Community Building: "Eight thousand men and women have gone out from Hampton into the South and West, trained in teaching, trained in home-building, trained in the trades. In taking their places in Negro industrial schools of the South and in hundreds of communities, this army of workers has helped to decrease the illiteracy of the Negro from approximately 100 to 30 per cent." This Hampton record is only one of many such schools we have scattered throughout the country engaged in the same work of preparation and service that Hampton is. They have done a great work, the good results of which we are able to see and to estimate wherever we go, especially in the communities of the South. Fortunately, here in Norfolk, we have many examples of community building among Afro-Americans that command respect and admiration and which promise great things in the future from their small beginnings in the past; and fortunately, also, many financiers here, as fast as the community is established, or well on the way, begin another which they offer to home-seekers and makers on reasonable terms. These communities, some day, will be great and prosperous, teeming with happy people who have builted wisely. Let the good work continue. "BONE DRY NATION." Shall the nation be "bone dry?"

Shall no intoxicating liquors be sold for consumption during the life of the war? That is the question. Congress says "No!" And it is up to the President, in the Food Control bill, and the President stands for all that is most spiritual and moral in the nation. Because he was elected by a majority of the people, the minority acquiescing, to represent them in all that the nation stands for, in the spiritual and moral facts of national unity and potentiality. It is a grand and noble thing when a great nation in a great crisis, can have for a President, a preacher's son, a son of Virginia, in whom the nation has faith, to guide the ship of State in this crisis of national convulsion. We say it is a grand and noble thing. Shall the nation be "bone dry" during the life of the war? It makes an interesting question, which has been answered in advance by the stern logic of war conditions in Europe and public opinion in this nation. Every one of the waring nations in Europe has deemed it necessary to place restrictions upon the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors during the life of the war. Let Americans drink less rum, whiskey and beer and Americans shall have more money to spend for raw beef and pork chops, and thus be all the stronger to answer to any call the nation may make upon them to "stand by the flag." Congratulations are due Prof. J. Paul Spence upon his reelection as Supervisor of Instruction in the Norfolk Public School system. Prof. Spence has been of invaluable aid to Superintendent Doble, who, by the way, is also beginning a well-merited new term, in bringing the Norfolk schools up to their present standard of excellence. The second editorial article in our series on "The Taxation of Negroes in Virginia," will appear in our mrextissue. THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE THE EAST ST. LOUIS RIOTS. The division of records and research of Tuskegee Institute had barely gotten before the public its announcement of a decrease in the number of lynchings the first six months of this year as compared with the same period last year, before the East St. Louis, Ill., race riots broke out afresh, resulting up to Tuesday night, in the death of seventy-five persons, the injury of seventy-five and the distraction by fire of 310 dwelling houses, and other property valued at more than $3,000,-000.00. Of the 14 persons lynched throughout the country during the first six months of the year, four of them, one white and three colored, were charged with the crime of rape. The score or more of colored persons mob-murdered in the East St. Louis riots were put to death because they wanted to work for their living. The wholesale loss of life and destruction of property in the East St. Louis riots may be attributed to the connivance of the police and militia with the mob. As soon as the Negroes began to defend their lives from the attacks of the mob, police and malitia rounded them up, took their arms away from them, both off their persons and out of their homes. The Negroes were then left at the mercy of the rioters, none of whom were rounded up or disarmed. On the other hand sixteen members of the militia are reported as having turned their rifles over to the members of the mob. Thirteen companies of State militia were on duty with orders not to shoot. Members of the East St. Louis Chamber of Commerce charged the militia with "inefficiency bordering on cowardice." During the first three hours of the rioting colored women and children were not molested. As the rioting increased in fury white women joined the mob and began to direct their assaults upon colored women. The following press dispatche is descriptive of the part played by the white women rioters: "Another of the innumerable brutal incidents of the night was the attack of a young colored woman. White men and women were among the assailants. "Let the women have her," was the cry among the men, and white women began tearing the garments from their victim. "The woman's cry, "Please, please, I ain't done nothing," was stopped by a blow in the mouth with the club which a woman swung like a base ball bat. Anothe white woman soized the victim's hand and the blow was repeated. Fingers tore at her hair and her waist was stripped from her. "Now let's see how fast she can run," suggested a woman, as the woman broke loose. The women were loathe to leave her alone, but after following her with their blows for a short distance, they stopped and she ran crying down the street. "The women next tried to get an aged colored woman who was guarded by three militiamen. One of them wrestled with the soldier for his rifle and other succeeded in getting in a few blows." As another example of the depravity of the mob we quote the press despatches as follows: "Bits of clothing taken from dead Negroes were shown to-day by souvenir hunters. One brutal incident of the night was related to-day. On Fourth street, near Broadway, three men saw a Negro, apparently dead, lying in a gutter. One flashed a pocket light in his face and saw that he still breathed. "Well, what do you know about that!" he exclaimed, "not dead yet." "He and one of his companions then drew their pistols and fired a bullet into the Negroe's head." Organized labor appears to be directly responsible for the trouble between the races, as the following statement from Michael Whalen, president of the East St. Louis Central Trades and Labor Council will indicate: "Last summer 4,500 white men went on strike in the packing plants of Armour and Company, Morris and Company and Swift and Company. Eight hundred Negroes from the south came into the plants as strike breakers. When the strike ended the Negroes remained at work and an equivalent number of white men failed to get their jobs back. Since then their has been a stream of Negroes arriving. At least 2,500 Negroes have come from the south in the last year. Many of them failed to get work or to hold jobs once obtained. Burglaries, highway robberies and petty crimes began. The people became exasperated and determined to drive them out of town." The leader of organized labor is flatly contradicted by employers of Negro labor in East St. Louis. We quote the press dispatches: "Managers of plants mentioned by Mr. Whalen asserted that not a white man had been deprived of work because af the Negroes. Even with the Negroes it was difficult to get enough labor, they said. They explained that rosy letters written back home by the first arrivals accounted for the continued influx from the south." In spite of the alleged prevalence of crime, the real objection to the Negroes is revealed in the following: "Mr. Whalen said that the chief objection to the Negroes was that they would not organize and would not strike." Will the United States government take cognizance of the East St. Louis massacre? Is there any section of the United States in which the American Negro cannot enjoy "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" when deporting himself as a law-abiding citizen? Will the United States government permit any group of its citizens to be deprived by anarchy of the common right to work for an honest living? All of these issues have been raised by the East St. Louis riots, and unless the United States government takes prompt and vigorous action upon them, the United States government should renounce its purposes for entering the world-war and stand convicted among the nations of the earth as the greatest homicide of all time. STRAY THOUGHTLETS. (By J. M. Harrison.) The white boy scouts now scout the idea that picking potatoes is a joke. That coal question between Secretaries Lane and Baker promises to become a burning issue. That Jamestown site proposition, seemed to have been lost sight of by some Congressmen. After all the battle at Jutland does not appear to have been a German victory judging from the fact that her "victorious" fleet still plays in shore. The only way the Irish question can be settled by the Irish, is to keep all the shalalies outside the conference room. In the cases of King Constantine and Emperor Nicolas, their wives seemed to have held the septres. If the poor men have to get drunk on bay rum, we needn't be surprised to hear of rich men getting full on "Mary Garden" perfume. For the first time in history, England can join in the spirit of July 4th. If such disasters follow every letter the Kaiser sends his wife about the Allies' future; he will write less frequently. THE OUTCAST. (By J. M. Harrison.) Don't knock because he's down so low, You cannot tell how hard the blow That brought him where he's today Nor what misfortune paved his way. Something sure has spoiled his life, Maybe drink, or an cering wife. You cannot tell his poor secret heart, Or just what caused his downward start. But he's a brother, none the less And once was numbered with the rest. So pity him—this poor wretch you see, God made us all, both you and me. The path you know of righteousness Is off趾 stepped, 'e'en by the vest. It takes a strong man, you can bet To outlive some blows we get; But God only knows what he's gone through And his same lot may come to me or you. So give him a kind and a welcome hand Remembering always, that he's still a man. Don't "cast the first stone," because he's down. Tis bitter enough, the harvest he's sown, Without you pushing him lower still, We cannot foresee the harvest we'll till. The storms of trouble may uproot all And you, like him, will stagger and fall— Your cup of sorrow -overflowed to the brim. A plible picture of Fate's fickle whim. So secure, begin knocking, remember one hkt "We are all born, but not buried yet." ANTICIPATION. (A Common Metre) By J. S. Hatcher, Tune—"Arlington." Ride on Great King in mighty power, Break every barrier down; The nations all concede thine hour And bow before Thy crown. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done On earth as tis in heaven; Thou hast from sin the vict'ry won, Earth has received Thy leaven. Fallen the powers that have withstood The Kingdom of Thy Son, This is the day of Brotherhood, Thy glorious begun. See Jupiter, Mohammed, Jove, Yield to Thy love their sway, Sin knows no rest, but constant rove, The fors of hell decay. One Blood, One Faith, One God, No sword Shem, Ham and Japeth love,— All Brothers,—and Thy Holy Word Rules earth as heaven above. Long have we prayer, "Thy Kingdom come May Peace rule every land," Amen. We see Thy reigh begun, Thy Kingdom is at hand. The above hymn was written by Rev. Jas. S. Hatcher, B. D., author, "I Cannot Drift," pastor John M. Brown A. M. E. Church, Norfolk, Va. Here is a statement that he makes concerning it: "Last week I read a paper before the Minister's' Conference at the Hampton Institute on "The Contribution of 'Church Music to Church Worship.' In preparing this paper I ran through the hymnology of the church and was alarmed to find so few hymns dealing with 'service,' and none with 'Brotherhood.' So I wrote this one celebrating the Idea of Brotherhood and the nearness of the God's Kingdom. The spirit of this hymn is militant. The hymn sings well to the tune, 'Arlington.' I am dedicating to all who believe in the brotherhood of man and the eminence of the Kingdom of Heaven. AN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM FOR THE WAR Suggestions for a program of school activity for different types of educational institutions during the war have just been issued by Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education. After pointing out that attendance laws should be enforced as usual, Dr. Claxton says: "Parents should be encouraged to make all possible efforts to keep their children in school and should have public or private help, when they can not do so without it. Many young children will lack the home care given them in times of peace and there will be need of many more kindergarten and Montessori schools than we now have." Larger High School Attendance. The attendance in the high schools HEALTH TALKS By DR. J. W. PIERCE This condition has been styled the American disease. And from general observation it is rightly called so. It presents itself in every locality, and is found among all classes of people. The rich complain of it, and the poor do the same; the ignorant seek relief from it as well as the intelligent. It is not possible to find a physician who is not called upon to manage its ailment quite frequently. It is so common taat the large majority of sufferers diagnose their own case, and seek intelligent help to give them ease. The American people, both white and colored, live so fast, and move at such a pace, without regards for hyacinth, and no needer for the trouble may be trained American. They are always in a hurry in the wrong direction. Their time seems to be an unusual valuable asset for two things particularly, viz: Gainful pursuits and pleasure. These two seem to occupy the center of their thought while health suffers as a consequence. Those who suffer from this trouble are pitiable cases. They are miserable all the time with short intervals of relief now and then. Having taken on the chronic nature, they appear sometimes almost doomed for life. All hope is lost as to cure and rash acts are indulged in at times. The things that contribute to this ailment are preventive. Some of which are the following: First, too little time is 'observed at the meal. Time is so precious, the average person has not time to do the proper things at the meal hour to make the food suit- and girls should be induced to remain until their course is completed. A school year of four terms of 12 weeks each is recommended for the high schools, as for the elementary schools. In the high schools adopting this plan arrangements should be made for half-time attendance, according to the Fitchburg, Cincinnati, and Spartanburg, S. C. plans, for a large proportion of pupils as possible. "All laboratories and manual-training shops in high schools should be run at their full capacity. In many of the shops work should be done which will have immediate value for the national defense. "In all high schools in which domestic science (sewing, cooking, sanitation, etc.) is taught, large units of time can be given in the summer and fall to school or the Red Cross and for local charity. "Classes for grown-up women should be formed in which practical instruction can be given largely by lecture and demonstration in the conservation and economic use of food. Continuation Schools and Evening Schools. "For all boys and girls who can not attend the day sessions of the high schools, continuation classes should be formed, to meet at such times as may be arranged during working hours or in the evening. All cities should maintain evening schools for adult men and women. In cities having considerable numbers of immigrants, evening schools should be maintained for them with classes in English, in civics, and such other subjects as will be helpful to these foreigners in understanding our industrial, social, civic, and political life. Strengthening the Normal Schools. "In few States is the supply of broadly educated and well-trained teachers equal to the demand. The normal schools should double their energies and use all their funds in the most economic way for the work of preparing teachers. Appropriations for the support of normal schools should be largely increased, as should also the attendance of men and women preparing for service as teachers." It may be of more than passing interest to the friends of education in North Carolina and elsewhere to learn that the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Hon. J. Y. Joyner, whose bi-ennial report has just been in operation by the State Teachers' Association during the past two years. Under the head of "Miscellaneous," the following are: Negro School Inspector. "The State Teachers' Association (Negro) last year decided to organize what is known as a Rural Extension Department, the purpose of which is to do special work among the rural schools for Negroes in North Carolina. The Association employed a well prepared man, Prof. C. H. Moore, for eight or nine months, to visit the vari- ologies of the State and to give aid wherever possible, giving more wholesome school sentiment and to help, as far as possible, to create a co-operative spirit between the white school officials and the Negro schools. His work has been very successful. He visited many counties, made speeches, did personal work, and, I feel sure, has helped to promote our general work. By request of his employers, plans for his work and itineraries are made in my office."

The fact that it is swallowed in a hurry and it is swallowed with the same degree of swiftness In short those who suffer as a rule eat too fast. Another cause is the habit of drinking large quantities of fluids to wash down the food tube the food that should be carried to its proper place by nature's method. The three common fluids they use in simming against the body are water, coffee and tea. The three in one used too generously at the wrong time. A third cause is constipation. From this there is an interference with the eliminative effort of the intestinal tract, causing perverted action of the digestive process. In the fourth place there is a lack of proper exercise. Especially among those who lead a sedentary life. The habit of sitting down too much brings about the intestinal inactivity and stagnation in the intestine. In fifth place the indiscriminate use of condiments, such as peppers, fancy sauces, French dressing, pickles, vinegars, highly seasoned foods, etc. These play no small part in making a chronic sufferer of intestinal and stomach disorders. In the sixth place very lacing in the female is a very prominent cause of this trouble due to pressure on the organs concerned in digestion and elimination. These are some of the more common causes of chronic indigestion. These are preventive and are in the keeping of the average individual. To be free from this American disease more accurate attention must be paid to the laws of hygiene and health. BELL'S MILL, VA. Mrs. Mary K.

VIRGINIA'S YOUNG BAPTIST LEADER Brief Account of What the Pastor of the Historic Shiloh Baptist Church Has Accomplished During Six Years of Diligent Labor—Congregation Gives Him Hearty Co-operation. Fredericksburg, Va.—One of the most historic church edifices in use by the colored people of this section of the state is the Shiloh Baptist church (on the old site), in this city. For nearly a century there has been a Baptist church on the old site where the present beautiful structure stands. It is a credit to the race and an honor to the city. The old church edifice for the first thirty years of its existence was used by a congregation composed of both white and colored people, the latter being in the majority. In 1854 the congregation, having outgrown the building on Water street, moved into a new building which had been erected on Princess street, and the old building on Water street was turned over to the colored Baptists, with the Rev. Armstead Walker, one of the first ordained ministers of the race in Virginia, as pastor. During the war, when the Union soldiers occupied the town, the church [Image of a man in a suit with a white shirt and black tie]. was used as a hospital. The benches were torn out and the property otherwise damaged. The church now has a claim in the omnibus claim bill which is before congress, and there is chance that it will receive a goodly sum of money from the government in adjustment of its claim. At the close of the war this congregation organized under the name of Shiloh and had for its first pastor the Rev. George Dixon. Nearly all the older members of the church were banded by the Rev. Mr. Dixon. Out of twelve men who banded themselves together after the war and organized this church only one is left. Coleman, as he is wont to be call. In 1887 the old building fell, and congregation split on the question site for the new building. The cornerstone of the present build- was laid by the white Masons of Fredericksburg, an unusual thing, but it showed the pleasant relations which exist between the races. The present pastor, the Rev. J. C. Diamond, B. D., is a young man. He was born July 22, 1887, and the first seventeen years of his life were spent on the farm. He spent some of the time in the public school, thereby laying the foundation for an education. He entered Hampton institute in 1895 and graduated, from the trade school in 1808, and in 1000 he graduated from the academic department at Hampton. The Rev. Mr. Diamond taught physics and electricity at Hampton institute for a time and then accepted a position as professor of manual training in Walden university, Nashville, Tenn. He also taught manual training at Calhoun, Ala. Giving up the profession of teaching, he engaged in the contracting business at Alexandria, Va. Having a new vision of life's possibilities, Dr. Diamond entered the theological department of Howard university, from which he was graduated in 1910. He was installed into the pastorate of the Shiloh Baptist church in January, 1911. Some of the pastor's achievements during his ministry at Shiloh are the renovation of the Sunday school room in March, 1911, at a cost of $1,337, the erection of a new parsonage building in 1912 at a cost of $2,000, designed and built by the pastor; new plano for the Sunday school in 1913, costing $250; purchased 300 hymn books for the pews at a cost of $55.30 and a new communion set in 1914. The membership grows steadily, and the people are generous in their support of the church and pastor. The officers of the church are: Deacons, Elmo Washington, Cato Frazler, George Walker, Austin Johnson, Spencer Lewis and John Harris; Irnstees, J. T. Lucas, S. G. Willis, Moses Scott and George Walker, Mias B. M. Gray is the organist. Mr. J. G. Marks spent a few days in Dinwiddie County as the guest of his brother. Mrs. John T. Merrick, of Durham, N.

Popular Boston Lady Says Tonoline Has Proven a Godsend to Her the statements of our friends, and es- It is always interesting to listen to pecially when you know they are sincero and honest in what they say. Added interest is created in a statement coming from one who has spent a lifetime in Boston, where she is well known socially. Such a person is Annie Stewart, who resides in Boston, and is possessed of the respect and confidence of her associates, and is willing for anyone to call on her to verify the following signed testimonial. "I have suffered with stomach trouble for the past seven years. It took the form of indigestion and dyspepsia. I had dizzy spells and headaches, and after I ate a little food it would ferment and cause gas to form in my stomach. I had pains all over my body, and was chronically constipated. My liver was torpid, and I felt generally miserable. I had doctored and had been in the hospital, but received no permanent relief. I was so nervous and restless that at night I could scarcely sleep. The gas pressing under my heart caused palpitation, and when I arose in the morning I was not too tired as I had retired. About two weeks ago I began a line, and I can truthfully state that it has done wonders in my case. I am feeling like a new woman and can eat any kind of food. I sleep the night through and have no more aches or pains; in fact, it has cured me, and I am recommending it to all of my friends, as it has been a Godsend to me." Burrow-Martin & Co., and Strole Drug Co. sell and guarantee tonoline. There are numerous symptoms of this trouble that tonoline can relieve. In fact, any of the following may denote affections of the stomach, indigestion, dyspepsia, belching of wind, bad breath, sick throbbing headache, poor circulation, night sweats, that tired feeling, costiveness, coated tongue or a poor complexion. Caution: — As tonoline is recommended as a flesh builder those not wishing to increase their weight 15 pounds or more should not take it continuously. "I have used Chamberlain's Tablets and must say they are the best I have ever used for constipation and indigestion. My wife also used them for indigestion and they did her good," writes Eugene S.

Mr. Mathews Senior's idea of a mesalliance was not solely a marriage between persons of different stations, different degrees of refluence and all that; it included the matter of income, or, rather, the want of income on which to support a family. He had made a snug fortune by hard knocks and hoped that it might be added to when his son came into it by another fortune in the possession of his son's wife. "It's just as easy, Ben," he said to his son, "to marry a girl with means as without. Young persons haven't any sense about marriage, and girls are caught by trifles. Till they are older they don't usually realize the difference between what they call "love in a cottage" and love in a stone front residence. The way for you to do is to refrain from getting mixed up with a poor girl and to cultivate the rich ones." Advice to young persons is usually thrown away. When Ben met the girl he wanted he wooed and won her. Her father had been well to do and had educated her, but had lost his property about the time his daughter was of an age to make her debut in society. Miss Arletta Borland was a fine character, and so long as she remained unmarried would be abundantly able to make her living. Ben in announcing his engagement to his father told him that though his fiancee had no fortune she was a fortune in herself. Ben's description of Arietta had about as much effect on his father as his father's advice upon nativity had upon Ben. Mr. Mathews saw only the fact that his son was about to marry a girl who had been brought up in influence and had been reduced to poverty. He told Ben that he was making a fool of himself and that he must either break his engagement or lose his inheritance. Ben replied that a good wife was better than a fortune for any young man who was interested in making himself independent, and he declined to give up Arietta. "Very well," said the father, "since you have chosen your course for the future, we shall from this time live separate lives. I intend to take precautions against loneliness. I shall look about for a wife." When Ben told Arietta of this she looked grave. She said she would think the matter over. She doubted if she would do right to separate her lover from his father and deprive him of a fortune. If Mr. Mathews married and had a son there would be faint hope of Ben's ever being reconciled to his father, and he would surely lose his fortune, or at least a part of it. She must have time for reflection as to her duty in the matter. The next day she told Ben to ask his father for means to go on a trip, to be absent some months. If at she end of that time Ben found it would not trouble him to part with his flancee he would give her up; if he still preferred her to his inheritance he would give up the latter. Ben told Arletta that absence would make no difference in his choice, but she declined to marry him without the test, and he was obliged to yield. Mr. Mathews was delighted with the boy's decision, remarking that he had no idea he had so much "horse sense." He at once provided his son with the means for a trip around the world, trusting that he would be cured of his "infatuation" on his return. Ben left Arletta lugubriously, she having exacted a promise that he would remain away until he received word from her to return. That word reached Ben four months after his departure. He hurried home to claim Arietta and relinquish his fortune. On his way he received a letter from his father stating that he had met a woman with an extraordinary amount of practical good sense. He had also been converted to the principle that a first rate wife was a fortune in itself. He had engaged himself to marry this prodigy of practicability. Ben was welcome to marry his fancee, and his father would settle on him a third of the estate at the time of his marriage. Ben was delighted at the prospect of getting a portion of his inheritance and Arietta instead of having to give up all the former. Ben arrived at home at 10 o'clock in the morning and found a note from his father asking him to come to his office. Ben preferred to visit Arietta first, but decided to do as his father desired. On reaching the office there sat Mr. Mathews dictating to a stenographer. The stenographer was Arietta. Mr. Mathews extended his hand to his son, then, turning to Arietta, said: "This is the lady of whom I wrote you." Ben stood like a statue, his eyes fixed on the stenographer. Could it be that she had deserted him for his father? She answered the question by throwing herself into Ben's arms. No man likes to find himself fooled. Mr. Mathews found it hard to smile at the imposition his son's fiancee had practiced on him, but he finally did so and granted his consent to the marriage on condition that the couple make their home with him. Arietta decided that a father-in-law is easier to get on, with than a mother-in-law and yielded. In this case at least she was stoked. OF NASHVILLE, TENN. General Admission 25c. Reserved Seats 35c.

It was a great success. Members were out who had been absent for a long time. The services were high, in the Spirit all day. At 11 a.m. Rev. Hatcher preached from Matt. 4:17—subject: "The Kingdom of God is at Hand." This was a beam of hope and encouragement during these war times. At night, Rev. Hatcher preached from Luke 10:2—subject: "The Most Urgent Need of the Church." This, he declared, is an educated: conserved group of laborers. We were urged to pray that God would send young men who are worth while, into the ministry. Next Sunday at 11 a.m. we shall expect the Summer School teachers to worship with us. Bring 10 cents extra for District Conference expenses. At night the "Lambs" will have their annual sermon preached. The pastor and officers want to thank the members for their hearty response to the letter sent out. Now keep it up, come out every Sunday. Collection last Sunday was $36.50. One accession. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES The local ministers of our church were on the "Front Line" last Sunday. Rev. Bowling, being tired and worm from over-work during the past week, in connection with the every member canvass, enlisted the services of Revs. John Henly and Wm. W. Gordan. Rev. Henly spoke at the morning service and Rev. Gordan at night. Comment was general that both spoke to the satisfaction of all. Our new financial system went into effect last Sunday. Apparently every member is anxious to do his or her duty in this cause. A personal invitation is extended to you to enlist your membership in our school and church next Sunday. Knights of Gideon Notes On Wednesday, June 27th, Smith's Class No. 68, Suffolk, Va., held a special session, when Mrs. M. E.

C. L. Griffin, D. C. of this district had made the necessary The accompanying cut is a photograph of a Check for One Thousand Dollars, drawn on a Negro Bank, paid to the widow of Willie Bembory of Scotland Neck, N.

She was then conducted to his home where she was greeted and most delightfully entertained by Mrs. C. L. Griffin, his new bride, and Mrs. Epps. At 1 p. m. we wended our way to the hall and found children parents and riends waiting for us. After a short opening consisting of singing and prayer, Rev. Griffin outlined the object of the meeting. Misses Pearl Alphin and Ophelia Rogers sang a duet after which Mrs. Miller spoke at length on the organization, laying great stress upon the work which the Juvenile Department was doing, and urging the parents to use the opportunities that were theirs for the training of their children. She outlined several plans that will greatly improve the work of this department and spread its power for good. At the close of her talk Mrs. Martha Smith, mother of the class, spoke encouragingly and repledged herself to put into effect the plans as outlined, feeling assured that great success will follow. Mrs. Spencer, Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Myrick spoke also, pledging their hearty support, although not members of the organization. They heartily endorsed the many helpful things said by Mrs. Miller. At the close of the meeting ice cream and cake was served to all present. At 4:15 p. m. the car of Mr. Faulk, the noted chauffeur of Suffolk, was announced, and Mrs. Miller was quickly conveyed to the home of Mrs. Amie E. Vick on Wellon Street, the Supreme Senior of the Order Knights of Gideon, where she spent the rest of the afternoon in a conference with Mrs. Vick and Mrs. H. B. Hunter, D. Scribe, on matters relative to the Grand Lodge Session to be held in Radford, Va., July 10, 1914. She was most hospitably entertained by these two noted ladies of Suffolk, returning home at night laden with string beans onions and beets, the gift of Mrs. Hunter from her garden. SOUTH HILL. (Mrs. E. F. Custis.) We listened to a good sermon on last Sunday morning at the First Baptist Church delivered by Rev. Burnham, of Norfolk. In the afternoon a great sermon was preached by Rev.

FEATURES OF THE SESSION State Medical Association Celebrates Its Twenty-eighth Anniversary With Pleasing Literary and Social Program—Dr. F. W. Avant Commands Race For Effort to Advance By GEORGE F. KING, Greensboro, N. C.-The twenty-eighth annual session of the North Carolina Medical, Pharmaceutical and Dental association, which recently convened in this city, was filled with interesting events which evidenced the fact that the wonderful change of economic affairs, in the south especially, is vitally affecting many of the professions in which Afro-Americans are engaged. The program was intensely interesting, and the scientific side, combined with the many social features, made the sessions among the best ever held by the association. The sessions DR. F. W. AVANT. were held in the main auditorium of the A. and T. college and were attended by doctors from various sections of this and other states. Dr. D. W. Byrd of Norfolk, Va., president of the National Medical association, a gifted orator and one of the leading physicians of the race, made an eloquent and scientific address, which elicited an ovation for him from his large audience. Dr. A. M. Moore of Durham, Dr. F. S. Hargraves of Wilson, Dr. S. B. Jones, Dr. W. L. McNair of Greensboro, Dr. A. M. Curtis of Washington, an authority on surgical clinics, and Dr. James B. Dudley, president of the A. and T. college, were among the prominent factors at this meeting. Dr. F. W. Avant of Wilmington, who was elected president of the association at Wilson, N. C., in 1916, presided. His annual address was a masterpiece. Dr. Avant is president of the Afro-American Food Conservation Commission of his county, which is associated with a similar body of representative white men. He is prominent in the economic and civic movements of his race and also in the fraternal world. In his address he in part said: "One of the most telling and effective changes that we must adjust ourselves to is that brought about by the migration of our people from these parts. The very unnaturalness of the affair is the striking feature about it, because our people are not naturally a migratory people, for we are usually the fixed landmarks of whatever place we might hall front, for not even could the vain pump and glory of the gold field craze lure many of us to pillow our heads upon her golden breast. We feel that our people, like all other American citizens, should climb the ladder by the way of least resistance. We believe this is a personal question to be settled by each individual." "But those who are satisfied with long hours, small pay, inferior foods and wearing apparel for high prices, poor educational advantages for their children, with unsightly and insanitary streets and homes to dwell in at increased taxation, without very much consideration as to their lives, liberty and happiness, may remain where such conditions obtain, and you will not have to legislate to keep them there. But the individual who loves to reflect and cognize upon the beautiful thought that he was made in the image of the great Creator and who loves to do things like the best of his fellow citizens, whose home and loved ones are as dear to him as his own life, and who loves to step out firmly upon God's free earth and throw out his chest and feel the tender, sensitive vibrations of his intellect telling him that he is a man, must and will find those parts of the world that appeal to him whenever the opportunity is offered. "God has so wonderfully blessed our race. It matters not whether it is in the cotton fields of Georgia, the factories of the north, east or west, or on the battlefields of the sun scorched sands of Mexico or planting the American flag on the snow covered mountains of Alaska, the race will, by proper living, work out its own good if given a fair and equal chance." THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE NOTED: SONGSTERS: HEARD: Glee Club Presents Fine Program at a Brooklyn Concert. Brooklyn.-The annual June concert given by the Glee club of the Lexington avenue branch of the Young Women's Christian association in this city was held at Memorial hall Thursday, June 21. The public always looks forward with pleasure to any function given by the club and on the above occasion gave the young women fine support. The concert was directed by Mrs. Daisy Tapley, the noted contralto, piano and voice teacher. After the club's own rendition of Nevin's "Venezle" it presented Lisa Lehman's "In a Persian Garden," a song cycle for four solo voices. The quartet consisted of Miss Minnie Brown, soprano; Mrs. Daisy Tapley, contralto; Roland W. Hayes, tenor, and Henry T. Burleigh, bass. This is a splendid work in itself, built on the "Rubalyat" of Omar Khayyam, a Persian poem. The getting together of these voices in a work of this kind marks an epoch in the development of Negro musical history as heard on the concert stage. Mr. Hayes is the greatest Negro tenor and is possessed of a wonderfully beautiful natural voice, augmented with six years' constant study under one of the greatest teachers in Boston. Mr. Burleigh, as every one knows, is our greatest baritone soloist and musician. Miss Minnie Brown is well known, especially in New York city, as perhaps the best trained singer in our midst. It was an inspiration to all music lovers and students to listen to these four soloists who sang together as one voice, an unusual feature for solo singers. At the close of the program the stage was thronged with admiring friends, who congratulated the quartet and thanked Mrs. Tapley for having been instrumental in giving to Greater New York the finest concert that has been heard among colored people anywhere. JULY CRISIS MAGAZINE Education Number of Great National Monthly Bristles With Morit Monthly Bristles With Marie The education number of the Crisis for July, with its military cover drawn by Lorenzo Harris, now being circulated, is a remarkable number.

It is a blood curdling tale. One of the best stories ever published by the Crisis is "Gray Eyes," by a young student of the Baltimore Colored high school. There is an article on debating and athletics in colored schools, and prizes are offered for essays on "The Best Summer I Ever Spent." These are to be sent in on or before July 8. The Crisis has reached the 39,000 mark of net paid circulation. This month's number, July, carries pictures of 100 of the colored college graduates. TRAINING FOR SERVICE Major Peal is Pleased With Outlook at Camp Des Moines. Cleveland, O.—Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette, has received the following letter from a former native of this city, Major Allen S. Peal, former commandant and member of the faculty of Western university, Quindaro, Knn., and for several years, to date, principal of our schools at Bluefield, W. Va. Major Peal is at the military training camp at Fort Des Moines, Ia., and under date of June 18 writes as follows: Friend Smith—If I can pass the eye test I will pass the three months' training at this camp and will under superb conditions and will be full of experience applicants. I best spirit exists here, and the United States officers are of a high type. The race will gain much from this movement. Best wishes. Major Peal lived many years at Columbus, O., holding some important clerical positions in Franklin county offices before going to Quindaro. Elizabeth Fleming's Patriotic Work. Little Miss Elizabeth Fleming of East Sixty-fifth street, New York, conceived the idea of starting a fund to assist in equipping a regiment of colored soldiers for the war from the proceeds received from hand work sold for that purpose. It is said that the returns have already amounted to over $100. By July 15 it is estimated that the above amount will be increased many times. Elizabeth is a young patriot of rare distinction and shows great interest in the colored people. Fifteenth Regiment First on War Basis Of the thirteen commands which have reached war basis in New York state the Fifteenth regiment of colored men in the national guard of New York was the first to reach the required standard. Thus again the colored man has shown his loyalty to the country. We congratulate Colonel William Hayward and his men upon their ability to get on the mark first.

After pulling off some reat slekening, stuit that was too raw for any woman to do, he finally removed the make- up revealing himself.
