WORK OF LOCAL COMMITTEE Program For Coming Meeting of Noted Secret Order Embraces Many Brilliant Features—State Grand Chancellor Anderson and Lawyer R. B. Barcus Assured of Loyal Support. Columbus, O.-As the plans of the supreme lodge entertainment committee unfold themselves it becomes apparent that the entertaining of the supreme lodge, Knights of Pythias, and encampment, which convenes in this city in August, is to be on a grander scale than ever before attempted. All the subordinate lodges in Ohio are lending every assistance possible, and the state grand lodge, which is to be the host, under the able direction of State Grand Chancellor Anderson, is in constant touch with affairs. The supreme lodge entertainment committee, headed by Attorney Robert B. Barcus, is meeting often for the perfecting arrangements. From partial estimates received from General Robert R. Jackson of the uni- form rank at Chicago fully 8,000 of the uniform rank will be here to go into camp. The park selected for encampment purposes, according to the plans of the entertainment committee, will be a de luxe edition of the famous Midway Plaisance at the World's fair held in Chicago, so replete will it be with conveniences and amusements for the knights, visiting delegates and friends. One new and fine feature planned for the week will be a night parade, the entire route to be illuminated with variegated fire. This parade will be followed by a daylight parade in which 10,000 knights are expected to be in line and for which the entire city, regardless of race or color, will turn out en masse to witness and to applaud. For the great musical entertainment planned the committee is now busily engaged in selecting the best talent to be found in the country, in order to give the visiting knights and delegates a treat perhaps never before enjoyed on so large a scale. The grand military ball, which is to take place in the Memorial hall, Ohio's million dollar edifice, will eclipse anything of the kind ever before attempted by any city entertaining the Knights of Pythias. The hall, grand and splendid in its permanent fittings and decorations, will be enhanced in beauty with a wealth of additional decorations. The tentative draft of the week's program is as follows: Tuesday evening, memorial services, to be held at St. Paul's A. M. E. church for departed knights. On the same evening the great night parade will also be held; Wednesday evening, the musical entertainment for which is being engaged the race's best professional talent in the country; Friday morning, street parade and prize drill; Friday evening, the military ball. In assurance of ample accommodations for all who contemplate attending the meeting of the supreme lodge it can be stated that the committee on hotels and homes has reported accommodations for 1,000 persons at the very beginning of its work. In contradiction to previous meetings of the supreme lodge, where a single city has assumed the task of entertaining, the entire state of Ohio, in August, will co-operate with the local lodges and citizens of Columbus to entertain, and the white people have indicated that they will vie with the colored citizens to make the meeting an unequaled success in every way. This is shown already by the activity on the part of the chamber of commerce in aiding the supreme lodge entertainment committee. Official recognition of the meeting, on the part of the state of Ohio, is to be given by Governor Frank B. Willis, the executive who has endeared himself to the race everywhere by flatly announcing that the "Birth of a Nation" and "The Nigger," two criticised photo plays, shall not show in Ohio. He will deliver the welcoming address on behalf of the state. Official recognition of the meeting by the city of Columbus will be given by Mayor George J. Karb. WORK OF ZEALOUS LEADER. Fine Career of Dr. S. L. Corrothers as a Minister. BY CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. Philadelphia.—One of the most courageous churchmen in the race is the Rev. Dr. S. L. Corrothers, pastor of the Varick Memorial A. M. E. church in this city. Dr. Corrothers is doubtless one of the most versatile pulpeteers that the race has produced. He is unswerving in what he believes to be his duty and is uncompromising on the things that he believes make for the best good of the race. He is one of the most prominent of the Zlon clergymen. At the last general conference in Charlotte he received a large number of votes for the bishopric. Dr. Corrothers has been pastor of the Varick church for two years, and during that time he has made a good record. The Varick church is one of the leading churches in the Zion connection. Its property is valued at $150,000. The church has a membership of 700, 800 of whom were added to the church since Dr. Corrothers has taken charge. The church is one of the leading centers for spiritual and intellectual uplift in the city, and the national prominence of its pastor attracts to the meetings many influential persons. One of the most noted movements in the history of the church was the inauguration of a special religious campaign which lasted seven weeks. During the campaign there were 700 converts. This campaign attracted wide attention throughout the city, and perhaps one of the most notable incidents in connection with the campaign was the visit of a white man to the church who became so interested that he subscribed $20,000 to the support of the church. The young man was invited by Bishop Walters. Dr. Corrothers has pastored some of the leading churches in the connection with eminent success. He was assisted in his campaign by Dr. Alexander Wilbanks, the noted evangelist of Washington. For twelve years Dr. Corrothers was the pastor of the Galbraith Zion church in Washington, and his record at this church was splendid. He was born in Yorkville, S. C., and was educated at Philander Smith college, in Little Rock, Ark., and Roberts college in Elmira, N. Y., where he made a special study of political science. He is prominent in all movements having for their aim the uplift of the Negro and is solitous of the political welfare of the race. He is an active member of the Independent Political league. His political career has brought him in intimate contact with some of the leading men of the nation, among them ex-presidents Taft, Roosevelt, Champ Clark and the Hon. J. B. Foraker. Among these men of nation, at character Dr. Corrothers is regulated in the very highest light. The home life of Dr. Corrothers is brightened by a cultured family who are reflecting great credit upon him. His daughters are well educated and cultured young women and found in various useful occupations through the country. His oldest daughter is Mrs. Eva White, whose husband is a professor in Wilberforce university. His daughter Julia is a teacher of drawing in the high school at Oklahoma City, and Miss Thomasine is a teacher in the public school at Washington. Few men in the race have won for themselves a higher place in the national uplift of the race and few are more beloved in his church than Dr. Corrothers. He stands ready to advance the cause of Zion, and his fearlessness will stand in good stead for the higher place that awaits him in his church. HAMPTON STUDENTS WIN DEBATE FROM ST. AUGUSTINE Literary Societies of Well Known Schools Discuss Labor Unions. A debating team selected from the two Hampton institute literary societies met and defeated at the May meeting a strong trio from St. Augustine, Raleigh, N. C. "Resolved, That labor unions are more harmful than beneficial to the working men in the United States." This is the stirring question which was ably handled by both teams. St. Augustine was represented by Ernest McDonald, David Harris, Jr., and Henry B. Delany, Jr. Each man spoke for twelve minutes and each side had six minutes for a single rebuttal address. Hampton institute's speakers were J. Russell Hyde, Percival L. Prattis and Theron N. Williams. The St. Augustine team maintained that the labor union is wrong in principle, wrong in methods of work and bad in result. The members handled themselves well on the platform and debated in an able fashion. They were accompanied to Hampton by the Rev. E. H. Gould, who is the associate principal of St. Augustine school, and Professor R. B. Jefferson, who is in charge of the social science department. President J. M. Gandy, Professor J. B. Simpson and Rev. Dr. Charles S. Morris served as judges. In coming to their decision the judges counted sixty points to the argument, twenty for stage presence and twenty for the English used by the debaters. They unanimously decided in favor of Hampton. The score was St. Augustine 75.66 and Hampton 82 per cent. The St. Augustine-Hampton debate was the first interscholastic debate ever engaged in by Hampton. So much interest has been aroused in debating by the interscholastic contests and this recent victory over St. Augustine's strong team that the Hampton boys will undoubtedly engage in other interscholastic debates.

MEMBER NATIONAL UNIVERSITY PRESS ASSOCIATION The local Odd Fellows Lodge Committee on Grand Lodge entertainment met in joint session with the Household of Ruth on Sunday, June 13th, at the 15th-street A. M. E. Church, to further the arrangements for the district session. The three-link men and ladies are planning to have the time of the season and are bent on eclipsing anything given in these parts before. Part of their ambition is to outdo the recent reception to the Masonic Grand Lodge, and they claim they will make their week's session look like thirty cents before their coming festivities are completed. A headquarters at the corner of Seventh street and Broadway is to be opened in the near future, where literature and soft mesh is, we presume, going to be kept on tap for the visiting three-links brigade. It is reported that Grand Master Morris of Chicago is to be imported before the session is over and other notables will be present. District Grand Master Soares of Sacramento and the 1915 General Committee are co-operating with the local branch and everything is being done in Friendship, Love and Truth. the memorial services held last Sunday afternoon for the memory of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Clark at the church which bears their name (North Oakland) was well attended and very impressive. Many beautiful tributes were paid them by Mr. Edwin Sterne, F. H. Holmer, Mrs. A. Cray, and Rev. L. A Brown and Dr. C.C. Coleman, L. A the choir sang sweet and Phillips Thomas tendered a pathetic solo. Miss Coelya W. Grandison, who did not arrive in time, read the following paper at the evening service: Man is a reed, the frailest in nature, but he is a reed that thinks. It needs not that the whole universe should arm itself to crush him—a vapor, a drop of water will suffice to destroy him. But should the universe crush him, man would yet be nobler than that which destroys him; for he knows that, dies, while of the advantage which the universe has over him, the universe knows nothing. Life is a journey, the end is nearing. It is a race, the goal will soon be reached. It is a voyage, the port will soon be in sight. Time is but a narrow isthmus between two eternities. You are going surely. How many things you have already left behind the old home, friends, parents, scenes of childhood and early years. How much of the way you have passed over. You will never return to places from which you started. You are going on and on away from early years, business will soon be terminated, our work will be done, and we shall leave this stage of being—leave it forever, our homes and cares and all the interests that engage us here and never more come back. It is an amazing thought that we, if we are Christians, will soon reach our goal, will be like comets or the after a life like comets. The shining line how it grows on the waiting eye. The joy will be like that with which the Crusaders first saw Jerusalem. There have been human hearts constituted just like ours for six thousand years. The same stars rise and set upon this globe that rose upon the plain of Shinar or along the Egyptian Nile; and the same sorrows rise and in every age. All that sickness can do, all that disappointment can effect, all that blighted love, disappointed ambition, thwarted hope, ever did they do still. Not a tear is wrung from eyes now that, for the same reason, has not been wept over and over again in long succession since the hour the fatal pair stepped from Paradise and gave their posterity to a world of sorrow and suffering. The head learns new things; but the heart forever more practices old experiences; therefore our life is but a new form of the way men lived from the beginning. Life bears us on like the stream of a mighty river. Our boat at first glides down the narrow channel, through the playful murmuring of the little brook and the winding of its grassy borders. The trees shed their blossoms over young heads. We are happy in hope and we grasp cagely at the beauties around us. Our REVIEW OF RACE THRIFT IN OHIO Lack of Proper Information Concerning Our Achievements in Education and Wealth May Be Cause of Apparent Prejudice Against the Colored Population in Buckeye State. By RALPH W. TYLER. Columbus, O.-It is perhaps to the disadvantage of the colored man that white friends know more about the foreign born citizens who are in our midst than they do about the colored race, which, like the poor, we have with us always, and have had with us since 1620. It may well be that an unconsciousness of what the colored man has done and is doing rather than any innate race prejudice is responsible for much of the apparent discrimination the race suffers from in Ohio. Any time there exists within a specified domain a goodly number of people of any race or nationality who, in all things for mutual progress, are one as the hand, but in all things social are as separate as the fingers on the hand. course in youth and manhood is along a wider and deeper flood, amid objects more striking and magnificent. We are animated at the moving pictures and enjoyments and industry passing us; we are excited at some short-lived disappointment. The our feet and the landless from our eyes, and the floods are lifted up around us; and we take our leave of earth and its inhabitants until, of our future voyage, there is no witness stream bears us on, and our joys and griefs are alike left behind us. We may be shipwrecked, but one cannot be delayed; whether rough or smooth the river hastens to its home, till the roar of the ocean is in our cars and the tossing of the waves is beneath when the firmament is rolled away as a scroll to see a heaven, grander, higher, and more glorious. We ought to be willing to exchange our body that have headaches and smeathes and weaknesses inmammable that limp with the stone bumbers or fester with the thorns of the ferns for an incomic body and an eye that blinks not before the jasper gates and the great white throne. Why weep when the soul which has stood picket duty on the outpost of God's army for a half century or more is called in after its blade is bent and battered, beating off the assaults on life? Does not such faith service deserve a furough, or rather a promotion from the ranks in the field to the ranks of the Infinite and eternal? "we want to live forever?" The world may have always treated us well and like scolding and complaining. But yet we would not want to make this our eternal residence. We love to watch the clouds and to bathe our souls in the blue sea of heaven, but we expect And in Christ, the firstborn, we see the grave giving up its dead; from the deserts of the wilderness and crowded churchyard they come, like the dews of the grass, an innumerable multitude. Risen Lord! we rejoice in Thy resurrection. We hail it as a harbinger and blessed pledge of our own. The first to come forth. The art elder brother of a family whose countless numbers the patriarch saw in the dust of the desert, whose holy beauty she shining in the bright stars of heaven. This spoils the grave of its horrors, changing the tomb into a capacious womb that death is daily filling with the germs of life, the first fruits. This explains why men called the churchyard, as once they did, God's acre. Looking at these grassy mounds in the light of that expression, the eye of faith sees it change into a field sown with the seeds of immortality. Blessed field! What flowers shall spring up there! What a harvest shall be gathered there, sown in corruption they shall rise in incorruption. Never more shall hoary time write age on a wrinkled brow; a pure soul shall be mated with a worthy partner in a perfect body, and an angel form shall lodge an angel mind. There shall be no more death, nor sighing, no sorrow, for the former things have passed away. there develops a problem to invite the serious and helpful attention of all those who are willing to vouchsafe exact justice without regard for race or color. There are 111,452 colored persons in Ohio, all native born Americans. These people are not decreasing in numbers, but, on the contrary, are increasing. They increased 15 per cent in a decade. They are not all black—these people whose earlier ancestors, as Cowper said, were "forced from home and all its pleasures; Africa's coast they left forlorn to increase a stranger's treasures, 'er the raging billows borne." Of the total colored population in Ohio of 111,452, 39,242 are mulattoes, and by a strange form of evolution the mulattoes have increased since 1870, when they formed 28.2 per cent of the total colored population, until now they form 35.2 per cent of the colored population. In contradiction to the southern states, the colored population in Ohio is most largely urban, and the urban population is increasing at a rapid rate each year. Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus and Cleveland showing the largest per cent of increase of any cities in the state. Of the total colored population in Ohio $2,282 is urban, while only 29,179 is rural. While the back to the farm movement has not caught on to any very appreciable extent with the colored race, still of the eighty-eight counties in Ohio but twelve report no colored farmers. There are 1,048 colored farmers in the state who own farm property to the value of $8,901,721. This is an increase in the value of farm property owned by colored farm- Rev WW Mathews To Go East The general public, as well as the members of Starr King A. M. E. Zion Church of San Francisco, has manifested more than a casual interest in the mission of that church. Especially so since the present pastor, Rev. W. W. Matthews, has been in charge. It is generally conceded that Zion has one among the coziest and most modern church buildings to be found anywhere among our people, and it will stand as a great monument to the worth of their present pastor as a leader and church builder.

Nashville, Tenn.—An announcement was made by the National Negro Doll Company that their rush season, which it usually has during the Christmas, is just now on. This is occasioned, declares the manager of the company, on account of the delay in the importation of material from which these dolls are made. The ship was caught and held as a prize of war and was only recently released, hence the material did not reach Nashville until Christmas day. But the ship says the manager, were so determinationate they have the size dolls they wanted that they all replied, "We will wait to see the big dolls." While hundreds of small dolls were sent out, the manager declares that it was surprising to note that the people wanted the dolls ranging from seventeen to thirty-six inches. The orders are being rapidly sent out. Many of the churches have sent in orders that they might conduct their bazaars. Dolls will be shipped throughout the year, declares the manager of the Doll Company, as we are ready to fill orders as they come. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF the County of Alameda, State of California.

JACKSON'S PLUCK Great State and National Function Planned to Show the Progress of the Race Since 1865—Negro Historical and Industrial Association Asks City Council's Aid. Richmond, Va.—The commissioners in charge of the plans and arrangements for holding the state and national exposition in this city to show the progress which our people have made during the past half century have selected Monday, July 5, as opening day. The celebration will run for three weeks, closing on Tuesday, July 27. The Negro Historical and Industrial association, under whose auspices the exposition will be held, has petitioned the finance committee of the city council through its president, the Hon. Giles B. Jackson, for an appropriation of $10,000 toward the general expenses of the celebration. The text of the petition as presented by Mr. Jackson is as follows: "To the Honorable Board of Aldermen and City Council of the City of Richmond, Va.": "Gentlemen—There will be held in the city of Richmond at the state fair grounds from the 5th of July to the 27th of July an exposition and celebration in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation and achievements of the Negro. We lay emphasis upon the word achievements because the main purpose of this exposition is to show to the world the marvelous progress made by the Negroes of this country, especially in the southern states and the state of Virginia, within the past fifty years. "This exposition was conceived by the brain of those most anxious for the white people of this country and especially those of the north and west, to view the progress of the Negro and see how much he has advanced in the last fifty years. We want to dispel the idea that exists in the minds of some who are not so well acquainted with the black man and the relation of the two races in the south. We want to show that the Negro is not hindered from making industrial progress in this section. "It is for this reason that the Negro Historical and Industrial association, under whose auspices this exposition is to be held, appealed to the national government for the means by which to create this exposition, and in answer to their prayer an appropriation of $55,000 was made at the time we applied for the amount. At that time we had the promises of certain large corporations that they would contribute largely to the fund we were raising, an additional sum of $50,000, but no sooner had the appropriation been made by congress when the European war broke out, and the corporations which made these promises asked to be excused because of the financial depression which affected their business affairs; hence we fell short of the amount we hoped to realize. "It is needless for me to say that to promote an exposition of this character, which embodies all the states in the Union, would of itself cost within the neighborhood of $50,000, including the shipping and returning of the exhibits, therefore you will see that we are in need of an additional fund to carry out the purposes of our association. Then the fact that President Wilson promised a committee, which waited on him on Nov. 5, 1914, that he would be present some day during the existence of the exposition, if not at the opening, causes us to make special efforts to make this exposition a success. "We have extended invitations to the governors of the different states and also to a number of senators and representatives of congress who have promised to be present. Therefore we will have a number of distinguished white gentlemen to entertain. While they will come upon our invitation, yet they must be entertained by you. Now that the exposition will be held in the city of Richmond, bringing to this city thousands of white and colored people, and when the people come to the exposition they come to spend money among the citizens of Richmond we will need an additional fund to carry out the scope and plan of our exposition. "We feel that, whereas the Negro pays tax on $38,180,628 worth of property in the city of Richmond, which is direct tax and contributes so largely to the indirect taxes of this city, we would be justified in asking that you appropriate at least $10,000, to be expended through the same channel as $55,000 is being expended by the Negro Historical and Industrial association, under the direct supervision of the governor of the state of Virginia and also an additional amount to be expended by your committee for entertaining the president and the other visitors above referred to. "We hope that you will see your way clear to make this appropriation, as this is the first time in the history of the city of Richmond that the colored man has asked for such an appropriation, and we feel that the occasion justifies not only the amount of $10,000, but more."

Plain Dealer, which appeared in its issue of Tuesday, April 27, the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette, writes as follows: "In the issue of your paper of Tuesday, April 20, 1915, an Oil City (Pa.) reader of the same made inquiry as to 'What presidential places have been taken from the colored race under the Wilson administration?' Will you please permit me to add the following to the information given in your Oil City reader: "Every presidential appointment in the United States diplomatic service abroad, except the ministership to Liberia, Africa; every presidential appointment in the federal service, at some and abroad, except the minor and local one, a judge of the municipal court of the District of Columbia, held by Negroes, and scores of minor positions in the federal service, even many covered by civil service, held by representatives of this same class of Americans, have been taken from them under the Wilson administration. "In many other cases minor positions, covered by civil service, they have been reduced. This course was successfully pursued in the cases of many others to force their resignations. In all hundreds of Afro-American officeholders have lost positions in the federal service in the last two years under President Wilson's administration. Only the two presidential places named are retained, and they are the only two Afro-American presidential appointments made by the present national administration." URBAN LEAGUE DIRECTOR ON BUSINESS TRIP SOUTH Closer Union is Purpose of E. K. Jones Visit to Branch Leagues. Mr. Springer, who is now located in the Bacon Block, Oakland, in the real estate business, is a man that comes well recommended and one that is not only a credit to his race but to the whole human race as well. His congenial ways and business qualities will no doubt have a tendency to make the business in which he is engaged a success. He was born in New York and came West in the interest of a concession at the Exposition, but on account of differences that existed he changed his plans and entered the real estate business. Mr. Springer has also succeeded in getting the agency for the northern part of the state to the Travelers Insurance Co. of Portland. Conn. He has absolute full charge of the returnees of this company. Here is an honor conferred upon one of our race that has never been bestowed before on anyone. We have found him just as he is recommended, coronial and always ready when you enter his office, 71 Bccon Block, to assist those that need assistance. He is reliable and honest in his business transactions, which is everything to a man's business. 2831 Grove Street.

Hill in New York Louise W. Hill in New York. On his recent visit to New York, where, upon invitation, he addressed the members of the board of education and delivered a series of addresses under the auspices of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People, Dr. Booker T. Washington observed closely the efforts of many members of the race who are engaged in business. He found time to investigate carefully and thoroughly the attitude of the race in New York city toward patronizing the business enterprises conducted by its own members, a thing which he always encourages. Among the active, well trained and energetic women in this city who are engaged in business for themselves is Mme. Louise W. Hill, whose hair dressing establishment is one of the best in appointment and reliable service in MME. LOUISE W. HILL. this city. Mme. Hill recently moved her business to new quarters near the headquarters of the National League on Urban Conditions. She is devoting her time and talent to the things which make for rapid advancement and deserves much credit for the splendid record she has made and is making as a business woman. It is encouraging to note, as did Dr. Washington while here, the growing sentiment among our people to patronize the business enterprises of the race. Mme. Hill has had several years of experience in her line, to which she has given much time and study at great personal expense in order not only to meet her competitors, but to give the best service to her patrons. Mime. Hill is a fine example of what a woman may accomplish in business if she has the courage, ambition and knowledge to go forward. She has had her struggles, but continues to stick to her profession. If one is to judge from her past efforts it is only reasonable to predict that with the same painstaking business methods and native ability her future success is assured. CONCORD BAPTIST CHURCH. Brooklyn Congregation Prospers Un- der lead of Rev. Dr. W. M. Moss. Brooklyn—The annual reunion of the Concord Baptist church in this city, the Rev. William M. Moss, D. D., pastor, was held on Monday evening, May 17. Among the features aside from the social mingling of the members were a brief historical sketch of the church given by Dr. Moss, communications from out of town members read by the church clerk. Peter H. Flesher, who has held the position for nearly thirty years; an address by N. B. Dodson, superintendent of the Sunday school, and the reading of the annual report of the board of trustees by Secretary Graham H. Carter. The Concord Baptist church is the largest in membership of any church of the denomination in Brooklyn. Among our people, according to the clerk's records, the total membership is 1.721. Of this number over 500 have joined since the Rev. Dr. Moss became its minister in September, 1910. The report of Secretary G. H. Carter showed receipts for the year with balance brought forward from 1914 of $14,059.44, leaving a cash balance in bank of $5,163.19. The receipts of the Sunday school amounted to $661.33 and expenses $666.9, leaving a balance of $104.85. The members are cooperating heartily with the officials in an effort to raise the necessary funds for the erection of a new church ellice. Sunday, May 30, is the day on which all the members and friends are asked to contribute toward the building fund. The plans and specifications for the new edifice call for an expenditure of from $65,000 to $70,000. Work on the new structure will begin as soon as the members raise $15,000, including the amount on hand as above mentioned. Dr. Moss is an able leader and eloquent preacher. He came to Concord from the Bank Street Baptist church, Norfolk, Va. of which he had been the minister for eight years. He is an alumnus of Virginia Union university at Richmond, Va. and corresponding secretary of the Alumni association.

Pee re ae eae omer cae oc" ‘Under Ausplces of National League. New York.—Following the closing of {ta workshop for the unemployed and the return of its associate director, Bu- gene Kinckle Jones from » brief trip south, the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People held four big public meetings on Sunday, May 16, three in this city and one in Brooklyn. ‘The speakers were Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee (Ala.) tnstitute, and Mayor Rt. R, Moton, commandant of cadets at the Hampton (Va.) institute and president of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia. The object of these meetings was to more fully acquaint the public with the purpose and work of the league ‘and to show what {t has accomplished during the past year. The first of the ‘series of meetings for the day was held fat the Union’ Baptist church in West Bixty-third street, of which the Rev. G. H. Sims is the minister, at 11a. m. ‘Phe Rev. Mr. Sims presided and over 2,000 persons were in attendance. Dr. Washington delivered a most helpful ‘and instructive address. ‘The second mecting was held at Pal ‘ace casino at 1:80 p. m., and was pre- sided over by Borough President Mar- cus M. Marks, who on introducing Dr. ‘Washington said that race oppression ‘was not an unmixed evil, as It gave a chance for the manhood of the oppress- ed to exert itself. Mr. Marks also said that he was proud that he was a Jew. In beginning his address Dr. Washing, ton said: “Lam mighty glad to hear Mr. Marks say that he is proud of his race. I, too, am proud of my race and wouldn't change places with the whitest man in America, and I don't want to know any man wno is ashamed of the race to which he belongs. “Our people in a big northern city ike this have thelr own special prob- lems to solve, just as we have our own problems down south, but you must always remember that we are one race and that what hurts you here hurts us down south and what helps tug down there helps you here. One of your greatest problems is that of re- adjustment. Settle down and get iden- ified with some one place; the build up there reputations for sobriety and industry. If you can't find the right ‘place in the city go to a small town ‘near by or get back to the soil. At any rate, settle down and get hold of some property and start a bank ac count. You will soon find that your savings are growing and that you are growing faster and bigger than the bank account.” The third great meeting was held at the Abyssinian Baptist chureb in West Fortieth street, Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell minister, at 4 o'clock. ‘This as lsembiage was held under the auspices fof the Young Women's Christian asso ciation, and Mrs. B.S. Ransom pre sided. : ‘The fourth andglosisig meeting was lnela at the Concord Bentist churck, tn Brooklyn, and was presided over by the Rev. Dr. William Maurice Moss. minister of the church. Majo R.-R Moton made the address introdueing Dr. Washington in his usual forceful happy manner. ‘The audience filled ev- Jery available space in the auditorium. lecture room and aisles of the church, jand the crowd outside extended for Inearly a block north and south of the edifice. Dr. Washington delivered masterly address and was wildly cheered. Dr. Washington said the New York colored man cannot be downed. if be falls today. he will rise tomorrow. This 1s the best country our race knows. We may curse It sometimes, but we stay here. Ido not mean to say that we do not have difiiculties to lovercome, injustices, opposition and op pression to surmount, but despite these the 10,000,000 of our people have made more progress than any similar people fin the world. The colored people of Virginia own one-tenth of all the farm- fing land im that state. ‘They pay taxes lon $54,000,000 worth of property. ‘The white man bas increased his farming lands 90 per cent, and those of the col: lored man bave increased 123 per cent.” Santamarina Speaks on Race Questior ‘The race question and how it has been solved in South and Central America was the subject of an In- structive address delivered by Senor J.

SIMMONS Educator Appointed Postmaster at Boley, Okla, POPULAR WITH THE MASSES The Selection of a Former Langston University Professor For Federal Office Meets With Public Favor—En- ‘ergetic Leader In Many Good Move- mente For Racial Advancement. Boley, Okla.—Among the few men who have received recognition at the hands of President Wilson is Profes- ‘gor Caesar F. Simmons; who was for some time connected with Langston university and who is a man of rare ability and worth. His life has been ‘spent in the vonth, and he is well trained for bis work. He is a native of Gaines: ville, Ala, He has written some good poetry and 1s well known for his scholarly attainments. He was the jchoice of many for the position of minister to Liberia, but President Wi- son saw fit to appoint him postmaster of this town, which is strictly a town ‘of the race, by the race and for the race. Mr, Simmons got his early education in the schools of Mississippi and Ala- bama. He graduated from the high school of Meridian, Miss. took a course in Emerson Institute, Mobile, Als,, and at the Mississippl State Nor- ‘mal’ school, Holly Springs, which In- ‘stitution was closed by Governor Var- daman. His finishing touch was re- celzed at Tongaloo university, Touga- too, Miss. ‘Thirty-two years of bis life have been spent in teaching and as a teach- er he established a fine reputation ‘The people in recommending him for the position of minister to Liberia had the following to say about him: “His character stands without blem: ish. He is courteous and an exception. t ally well educated. member of hia race, eo. Be 8 ee a = * ae os Re \ bs Ce Ne \ whee eee ree ate which he has demonstrated in each of the above named states. He ts, intel- Jectually great, practical, uses cofjiam sense, has splendid ability, unquestion- ed integrity, is a good business man and progressive in the true sense of the ap- plied term.” Professor Simmons ts a local minister in the Methodist Episcopal church, dis. trlet Sunday school superintendent of the Guthrie (Okla,) district and 1s a Christian gentleman, His entire life has been spent in work among the people, and he has been an inspiration to the young people, because In what he accomplished others have thought it possible for them to follow him, He has by actual work made himself well known throughout the country. He has filled the positions of president and organizer of temperance societies, an expoundér of the moral and religious uplift of his race and an uncompromis- ing contender for pure leadership for his people among the ministers and teachers. It has been said of him that he has never crossed the Mason and Dixon line. He Is therefore conversant on conditions in the south. If the race has suffered he bas been one of the sufferers, and if it has made any prog- ress and enjoys peace and happiness he has been in that enjoyment and pleas- ure. Elis work among the people has ‘brought to him and the race many ents and he has materially contrib- tuted to the adjustment of racial trou- bles. He has advocated a friendly re- lation between the races and the settle. ment of differences under the influence of the religion of Jesus Chriat, elatm- ing that the shotgun never corrected a wrong and never would, For a long time Professor Simmons held a professorship in the Langston university with Professor Inman B. Page. It was while tn the schoolroom ‘that a letter was handed him contain- ing his commission and appointment to the position of postmaster of Boley, ‘Okla, He was not looking for it and had not applied for the position. But ‘the postmaster general, knowing per- sonally of the worth and work of Pro- fessor Simmons, sent him the appoint- ment. He resigned his professorship in Langsion university and at once took hold of the duties of the new po- sition, in which he is making good. He leaves the university with the best wishes of the president and mem- bers of the faculty wiak. ‘This bas ven done at a sactt fice, but with » desire to help young ‘men. He ts devoted to Meharry and de- clares that he is willing to do anything im bis power for the success of the school. He deems ft necessary for the members of the race to make sacrifices like men of the order and rank of Dr. George W. Hubbard. When yet 2 young man he married, and a few Fears ago his wife died. Since he has remarried. He bas a comfortable home and home surroundings. As to the work of Dr, Hubbard it is interesting to note that he has given Atty years of lis life to medieal work.
