Says Benjamin Branley in a recent article, "Southern Workmen has the following to say of the possibilities of the race for advancement in the arts and in music: With reference to the Negro two things are observable. One is that any distinction so far won by a member of the race in America has been almost always in some one of the arts, and the other is that any influence so far exerted by the Negro on American civilization has been primarily in the field of aesthetics. But there is something deeper than the sensuousness of beauty that makes for the possibilities of the Negro in the realm of the arts, and that is the soul of the race. The wall of the old melodies and the plaintive quality that is ever present in the Negro voice are but the reflection of the background of tragedy. No race can rise to the greatest heights of art until it has yearned and suffered. The Russians are a case in point. Such has been their background in oppression and striving that their literature and art today are marked by an unmistakable note of power. The same future beckons to the American Negro. The Negro has great gifts of voice and ear and soul, but so far much of his talent has not soared above the vaudeville stage. This is due most largely, of course, to economic instability. It is the call of patriotism, however, that America should realize that the Negro has peculiar gifts which need all possible cultivation and which will one day add to the glory of the country. Already his music is recognized as the most distinctive that the United States has yet produced. TYLER AN HONOR GRADUATE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF OHIO. Son of Ralph W. Tyler Completes Course in Pharmacy. Columbus, O.-The only member of our race in this year's graduating class at the College of Pharmacy of the University of Ohio is Waldo Woodson Tyler of this city, son of former auditor for the navy, Ralph W. Tyler. Young Tyler took the four year course, specializing in chemistry, in which he has been rated high, and will graduate with the degree of bachelor of science. There are thirty members of this year's graduating class, the remaining twenty-nine being white. The majority of the white students took the two year pharmacy course, but Tyler, along with eight whites, took the four year course, and this course at the University of Ohio is regarded as one of the hardest and most efficient of any university in the country. From the ten colleges which make up the University of Ohio there will graduate this year over 800 students only seven of whom are colored. One young colored man graduates from the College of Agriculture in the person of Henry A. Wilson of Talladega, Ala. There will be five graduates from the College of Veterinary Medicine—Norman Dumas Miller of Fort Smith, Ark. Robert M. Winkfield, Lexington, Ky. Louis M. Weaver, Ironton, O.; Ralph Vincent Kennon, Cedarville, O., and Elmer LeRoy Carson of this city. The University of Ohio has 5,000 students, only about thirty-five of whom are colored. The institution is richly endowed by federal and state appropriations, and possesses buildings that are second to no university in the country. No distinction is made in the admission of students on account of color. Commencement Week at Tuskegee. Commencement week at the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute began on Sunday, May 23. The commencement sermon was preached by the Right Rev. Theodore D. Bratton of Jackson, Miss. The students marched to the chapel in a body. Thursday, May 27, was observed as commencement day, and the address was delivered by the Right. Rev. R. S Williams, bishop of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church of Augusta, Ga. Special trains for commencement day were run from Opelika, Fla., and Montgomery, Ala. Dr. J. W. Darden was in charge of the party from Opelika and Victor H. Tulane was in charge of the Montgomery delegation. National Sunday School Congress. Henry Allen Boyd, secretary of the National Baptist Sunday School congress, is congratulating the local committee on entertainment at Birmingham, Ala., where the annual session is to be held beginning Wednesday, June 9, on the splendid arrangements which it has made for the care and comfort of the thousands of delegates and visitors who will attend the sessions of the congress. The meetings will run for six days. The program is ready for distribution, and the subjects cover every phase of Sunday school methods and management. Sahara Temple to Hold Big Reception.

Executive Secretary Arthur Thomas Arnold Accords Students of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute Liberal Place on the Program—Great Christian Body Practices the Golden Rule. Charleston, W. Va. - At the thirty-third annual convention of the West Virginia Sunday School association, held in this city in May, the teachers and students of the West Virginia Collegiate institute were present in a body. This action was taken by the school upon the invitation of Arthur T. Arnold, the executive secretary of the association. He had invited the school to participate in the general program of the meetings by singing folk songs and the school band marching and playing in 50th the children's parade and the men's parade. Special seats were reserved for the teachers and students in the First Methodist Episcopal church, where the PETER H. ARTHUR THOMAS ARNOLD. morning session was held. When they had finished their numbers on the program and the presiding officer attempted to go on with the business of the association, there was one continuous ovation on the part of the audience—so much so that the presiding officer was compelled to ask the students to sing one more selection. The following editorial which appeared in the Charleston Daily Mall, reflects the general opinion of those who were present concerning the part taken by the students: "One of the most distinctive features of the state Sunday school convention now in session in the capital which the delegates will carry away with them will be the musical part, especially the part taken by the young men and young women of the West Virginia Collegiate institute. "This delegation from the foremost colored school for higher education among the colored people of West Virginia came up in a body and occupied special seats provided for them at the First Methodist Episcopal church and at the armory. Music is or. of the accomplishments of the colored race. The colored people take to music as a duck takes to water, and it is music too. Strong and rich, sweet and soft, the range is wide enough to take in every requirement and to satisfy every demand of the ear attuned to melody. "And not only to the visitors from all parts of the state was this achievement in harmony a revelation. Those at home were also on the list of the surprised and joined heartily in the applause and commendation which were given the institute delegation earnestly and without stint. "Some' singers are those students of the West Virginia Collegiate institute, and the state, which supports the school, has a right to be proud of the showing they made." President Byrd Prillerman is highly gratified at the uniform courtey with which the students were treated throughout the entire day's proceedings. The officers of the association and the ushers treated not only the school, but all other visiting members of our race at the sessions with absolute fairness. The occasion really marks an epoch in the history of religious gatherings in the south. Mrs. Elizabeth M. Mitchell, the competent music teacher of the West Virginia College institute, deserves much credit for the efficient manner in which the students had been trained for the occasion. Mr. Arthur Thomas Arnold, whose cut is shown in this article, is the general secretary of the West Virginia Sunday School association. He is a young man of high character and standing, who believes in liberty and justice for all the citizens of the state according to law and not according to race or color. Mr. Arnold recognizes the struggles of our race to rise in education, business and Christian character, and he may be depended upon at all times to do the square thing by them whenever he comes in contact with them along any line. The race will always stand by such men as Arthur Thomas Arnold. OAKLAND SUNSHINE Oakland California July 3rd 1915 EXPOSITION TO OPEN ON JULY 5 Richmond, Va., to Witness an Elaborate Celebration. GILES B. 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. Glies 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 $40,000, 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 $3,180,062 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 $16,000, but more."

We believe in an Almighty God and we are unalterably opposed to the sovereign will and power vested in one human being, man or woman. We believe in inspired and divine race leadership and we are uncompromisingly opposed to specially hired or charitably bribed leadership for this reason: any man who can be specially hired and privately paid to lead the people can be bribed to mislead the people. We believe that colored men in all parts of the republic should vote and be allied with any political party they desire, and we strongly advocate taking an active part in politics and voting at all elections. We believe in a broad franchise for women and men, and we advocate the same qualification for both, because it is just, right and fair and will work for the success of human progress and good government. The object of the Colored Citizens Protective Association is: To seek the truth by turning the searchlight on in dark places; to oppose false teachings The 6th annual encampment, Department of Columbia, United Spanish War Veterans, will convene in Lorin Hall, South Berkeley, on July 1st to 3rd, 1915, inclusive, closing with a grand ball on the evening of Saturday, July 3rd.

Frank J. Guinn and J. J. Beal, Oklahoma election officers, were convicted for preventing Negroes from voting in the 1910 Congressional election and sentenced to imprisonment for one year and to pay a fine of $100. They appealed to the Appellate Court at St. Louis, which passed the case along to the Supreme Court without trying it. The lower court was upheld and the conviction confirmed by the decision. In the Maryland case the court awarded damages to three Negroes to be paid by election officials of Annapolis, who had refused to register them. John B. Anderson, William H. Howard and Robert Brown, colored, of Annapolis, were responsible for the test case. Among counsel for them was former Attorney-General Charles J. Bonaparte of Baltimore. Election officials at Annapolis refused to register these colored men so that they could vote in a municipal election. The refusal was based on the fact that they could not qualify under the "ancestor" rule. A civil suit for damages was instituted against Charles E. Meyers and A. Claude Kalmy, the election officials who barred them from registry. The United States Circuit Court for Maryland returned a verdict for nominal damages against the election officials and in favor of the colored men. The court held that under the fifteenth amendment they had the right to vote at all elections. The election officials demurred, claiming this amendment did not apply to State elections. The court overruled the demurrier and the officials appealed to the United States Supreme Court. The court held that these election officials could not ignore the potency of the Fifteenth Amendment in striking out the word "white" as a qualification for voting, and that this amendment applies to municipal elections as well as to Federal elections.

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 exist he changed his plans and entered the real estate business. Mr. Springer has also succeeded in getting the agency for northern part of the state of Hartford, Travelers Insurance Co. of Hartford, Conn. He has absolutely full charge of the railroad insurance of this company, and in honor conferred 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, 77 B.Con Block, to assist those that need assistance. He is reliable and honest in his business transactions, which is everything to a man's business. Fancy Work, Gloves, Curtains b Specialty. Telephone Oakland 3601. 2831 Grove Street.

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 people, says the manager, were so determination to have the size dolls they wanted that they all replied, we will wait to get the big dolls." While hundreds of small dolls were sent, the manager declares that it was surprising to note that the people wanted the dolls ranging in sizes from seventeen to thirty-six inches. The orders are being sent. 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.

Phone Berkeley 9131 ANNOUNCEMENT Mary Church Terrell, noted speaker and leader of women, came and seeing, both conquered and was conquered. Her address of Friday night has been the topic of the week. Few of the many noted characters who have visited the west have made so good an impression upon Angelael and certainly none have appeared so genuinely taken with city and people. Said a prominent person: "The Dumas Lyceum Bureau has scored again. Mary Church Terrell proved all she was represented to be and the East and West are being drawn closer together as such splendid types of our representatives as Mrs. Terrell are met." A warm greeting was given the noted Washingtonian, applause and flowers were hers in profusion and the representative audience gave many evidences of its appreciative hearing. Dr. A. C. Garrott, president of the bureau, presented Mrs. Terrell, whose hold was quickly taken upon the audience. A caustic comment upon lynching brought forth the witty expression: "My friends, remember that some men are born black, others have blackness thrust upon them and still others achieve blackness." "I have been asked why I use the word Colored American instead of the word Negro. I give opportunity for the word Negress, which I have been called so much that I am sore. It will take our women hundreds of years to live down the reproach and contempt in the word." Continued applause followed Mrs. Terrell's eloquent peroration and then the audience surged, forward for greeting. Mesdames J. Scott, K. Barr and others formed the receiving line. The Misses Inez Bailey, Dorothy Rena, Miriam Garrott, Mary Blodgett and Cornelia Legett acted as. During her stay in the city, Mrs. Terrell stopped at the beautiful residence of Mrs. S. H. Pool at 35th and Raymond avenue. When conversing with Mary Church Terrell one soon realizes that although she is in public life she is a real wife and mother. She refers repeatedly to her home, her husband, Judge Terrell, and her two charming daughters, one of whom graduated from an academy at St. Johnsbury, Vermont, this year, and the other from the Washington high school—Los Angeles New Age. Mrs. Terrell is truly an orator with a wonderful flow of language, masterful in thought and brilliant in presentation. She is intensely racial and of impressive sincerity and Friday night's treatment of the general race problem was splendidly illustrative of these features. The Sunshine is always glad to print any news sent in from all the churches or from any other source, but the negro editors are too busy to look up news. Lest we forget, July 5, 1915, the I. D. O.

The board took up the matter with the management of the Strand, and while until Tuesday the manager remained apparently unmoved in his determination to persist in the use of the name "The Nigger" instead of the alternative "The New Governor" announcement was made in the Tuesday evening papers that the protest would be honored and the name "The New Governor" would be used.-Los Angeles New Age.

Dated, June 30, 1915 GEO. E. GROSS, Clerk. By H. HENNINGSEN. Deputy Clerk. GEO. INGRAHAM. Attorney for Petitioner, 812 Broadway, Oakland, Cal. The wedding ceremony uniting in marriage Miss Nettie L. Matthews, the beautiful daughter of Rev. and Mrs. W. W. Matthews, to Mr. Edward L. Harris was performed at the altar of Cooper A. M. E. Zion Church, Tuesday evening, June 22nd, at 8 o'clock, Rev. G. H. Haines officiating. Long before the hour for the ceremony the wedding guests came in scores, and were ushered to their pews, soon filling the spacious auditorium to its capacity. The altar of the church resembled a beautiful palm garden beaded with ferns. This, with the five or more guests that honored the occasion with their presence, lent a charm to the beauty of the occasion. Af fifteen minutes of eight o'clock the anxiously awaited bridal party arrived, being in personal charge of Felix Beckford with three of his seven-passenger automobiles. Mr. Sydney Johnson and Mr. G. A. Morris acted as marshals in holding back the curious throng that blocked the entrance to the church, and escorted the bridal party into the vestibule. While the wedding procession was forming the family, with their immediate guests, were ushered to their seats in front of the altar. Mrs. Alice J. Matthews mother of the girdle, J. Matthews mother of the wreath of silk crepe, trimmed with Owreal lace and blue messiae silk. Mrs. Amie H. Monroe of Groton, Massachusetts, mother of the groom, wore blue crepe de chine, with white embroidered chiffon. She was accompanied by her daughter, Miss Elsa M. Harris, sister of the groom, who wore green crepe de chine trimmed with lace, and Master Elmer Matthews, brother of the bride. Mrs. Lucile M. Bird of Portland, Oregon, were black satin with bodice of black cuffs over pink crepe of black cuffs over M. V. Taylor of the Francisco, an intimate friend of the family, wore pink satin. Three of San Francisco's and Oakland's most noted musicians had been selected to play the wedding marchem namely: Mrs. Viola, Spikes Kitchen who performed the organ, and Mrs. Moore Hughs the violin, and Mrs. Fiona, Jesa the piano. The bridal party being ready to enter the signal was given, and the musicians with their several instruments struck the chord of Mendelssohn's Wedding March. The first of the bridal coterie to enter the aisles of the beautiful church was Miss Leola Wilcox, one of the bridesmaids. She was accompanied by Mr. Joseph Stevenson, one of the ushers. This pair were followed by the other maids and ushers, named Miss Mary Davis, accompanied by Mr. Wm Williams; Miss Beatree White, accompanied by Alain Albrecht Ewing, and Miss Enner Turner, accompanied by Mr. Wm Scott, who upon arriving at the altar formed a semi-circle, into which the other members of the party were to arrive with the bride and groom. The maids were very beautifully gowned their costumes being pale pink crepe de chine cut in Empire style, and more large picture hats with black velvet streamers and carrying baskets of pink and white sweet peas. Following the maids came the little flower girl: Geraldine Iman Willetts Matthews, dressed with white, each carrying a basket of white sweet peas. Next came the stately maid of honor, Miss Renaima Fowler, dressed in pale green chiffon over white hair, cut ennii. She wore a large picture hat of green and white, and carried a large bouquet of asparagus and maiden-hair fern, tied with white tulle. Following the maid of honor came the little ring bearer, Juanita Matthews, the four-year-old sister of the bride, dressed in white with a touch of pink, bearing the wedding ring in a white ivory tray. Then came the beautiful bride, leaning upon the arm of her father carrying a shower bouquet of bokeh roses, tied with white tulle. She came to be a beautiful gown of ivory and pearl trimming. Her jewel was a diamond and pearl crest, being a gift of the groom's mother. Her veil was of white tulle, held in place with a wreath of orange blossoms. She was met at the altar by the groom, escorted by her brother, Mr. James Matthews, who acted as best man to the groom, both of whom wore the conventional black, as did all the other gentlemen of the wedding party. The bride was given away by her father, Rev. W. W Matthews, who then joined the family to witness the impressive ceremony performed by the pastor of the church, Rev. G. H. At the conclusion of the ceremony the musicians played Lohengrin's Wedding March while the party matched out, being followed by the guests to the bide of the dinner and the reception of the pampered and congratulated and best wishes were received. The spacious paribars and reception room were elegantly decorated, the colors being pink and green in the paribars, with a profusion of sweet peppers, roses, while the banqueting room was of pink and white, dominated by green and The reception was attended by fully two hundred guests, many arriving by automobiles, while two special street railway cars were provided to convey the guests from the church direct to the home. A very enjoyable evening was spent, with music and song. Refreshments were served. After the reception the bride and groom arrived at Stockton, California, on a bourne-trip.

Orangeburg, S. C. — South Carolina has given to the race one of the foremost leaders and educators in the country in the person of Professor Robert Shaw Wilkinson, president of the State Agricultural and Mechanical college, at Orangeburg. He represents the possibilities of the young men who will prepare themselves, find a place and stick to it. Professor Wilkinson is a native of Charleston, S. C., and was given his foundation for an education in the public schools of Charleston and also completed the normal course in the Avery Normal Institute, in his native city. He was appointed to the West Point Military academy in 1884 from the First congressional district of South Carolina, a distinction which has been won by but few members of the race. Because of physical conditions he remained there only one year and then entered Oberlin college. He graduated from the classical course in 1891 with the degree of bachelor of arts. He won many honors for his literary work. Because of his achievements in the arts and sciences Oberlin conferred on him the degree of master of arts. Being well prepared, his first real school work was done in the state university, Louisville, Ky. For five years he was active in this work, holding the position of professor of languages and vice president. He made good in Kentucky and made many friends. But when his native state called him to take the position of professor of mathematics and physics in the new state college, established in 1896 under the land grant college en- DR. BOBERT SHAW WILKINSON. actment of the federal government, he responded by resigning from the state university. Since his connection with the school many positions have been offered him, but he has remained at Orangeburg with the state school, filling several positions. He is an all around man, and when there is a position of any kind to be filled he readily serves. The valuation of the property has been increased from $150,000 to $275,000 and the faculty at the same time from twenty-six to fifty-seven and the enrollment from 502 to 1,100 annually. New departments and courses have been added, until now it stands as the training place for professional and vocational teachers not alone for South Carolina, but for other states in which the graduates are finding their way. In the student body are to be found representatives from Tennessee, Virginia, Illinois, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. It is of interest to know that the graduating class for this year numbers sixty-eight, and there are 112 in the freshman class. The annual budget of the college exceeds $50,000. Dr. Wilkinson had conferred on him the degree of doctor of philosophy by the state university of Louisville, Ky. When it comes to doing things for the race he is always found in the front rank. He is active in many organizations representing refinement and culture and racial uplift. He is a member of the Episcopal church; a lay reader in the Orangeburg mission and holds membership in the following organizations: National Geographical society, Southern Sociological congress, Free and Accepted Masons and the Knights of Fythias. In the Knights of Fythias he is grand master of exchequer and is custodian of over $20,000 annually for the order. In the extension work he travels extensively annually over the state and is accomplishing great good for the material advancement of the race. He has won for himself the distinction of "educational expert." To him are referred many matters upon which he is considered an authority. The latest development in the institution is the summer school for the training of teachers. In this school 300 teachers enroll each year. In 1897 Dr. Wilkinson was married to Miss Marion Birle of Charleston, S. C. Their union has been blessed with four children. The best work is what you want W. C.

Chicago.—In connection with the large exposition to be held in this city at the Coliseum from Aug. 22 to Sept. 16, will be held the Abraham Lincoln Jubilee celebration, in which hundreds of relics of the martyred president will be shown and tribute paid to the memory of the great humanitarian. The exposition will be unique, says Bishop Samuel Fallow, state commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, and president of the exposition. Nothing like it has ever before been done or even attempted. The exposition will mark fifty years of freedom for the colored race in America. Assurance that President Wilson will be present was made to Bishop Fallowes in a message from Washington which stated that Mr. Wilson will attend if no foreseen governmental complications arise to prevent. Governor Edward F. Dunne of Illinois is the president. ex-officio. State Senator John Dalley of Peoria is vice president. Among the honorary vice presidents are Miss Jane Addams, Governor Baldwin of Connecticut, Governor Bass of New Hampshire, Judge Theodore Brentano, Andrew Carnegie, Thomas H. Cannon, head of the Catholic Order of A. THOMAS WALLACE SWANN. Foresters, Chicago; former Governor Charles S. Deneen, Cardinal James Gibbons, Governor Whitman of New York and Mrs. Ella Flagg Young. Twelve distinct departments have been created for the exposition, and in them will be shown exhibits from nearly every state in which the negro is a part of the population. These departments are religion, education, industry, social progress, music, sociology, military, liberal arts, professional, fraternal, athletics and miscellaneous. Nineteen state legislatures have either passed or have before them bills providing appropriations to establish state exhibits. Hundreds of letters approving the purpose of the exposition have been received, representing every race and religion, every profession and business and social activity in America. The exhibits of the progress of the colored man since his emancipation from slavery will be many and various. Each of the 400 colored schools and colleges in the United States will be represented. The best of 3,000 patents granted to colored men by the federal government will, by special arrangement, be brought to Chicago to show in the Coliseum. The government of Liberia, Africa, made up originally of freed slaves from America, will send an exhibit, and Professor Frederick Starr of the University of Chicago has been appointed their official representative by the Liberian government. The Roman Catholic exhibit will be a feature of the exposition, including, besides paintings and sculpture, many relics of the Negro in his relation to the church. There are more than 2,000,000 Negroes engaged in agricultural pursuits, and 78 per cent of them are in the southern states. More than 28 per cent of the total number of farmers in the south in 1910 were Negroes and 12 per cent of the total farm acreage was operated by them.
