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 clection and sen- tenced 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 con: Firmed by the decision. | In the Maryland case the court awarded damages to three Negroes to. be | paid by election officials of Annapolis, who had refuesed to register them. John B. Anderson, William H. Howard and Robert Brown, colored, of An- rnapolis, were responsible for the test case. Among counsel for them was former Attorney-General Charles J. Bonaparte of Baltimore. Election officials at An reipolis refused to register these colored men so that they could vote in a mu- mcipal election. ‘The refusal was based on the fact that they could not qualify nujder the “ancestor” rule. A civil sisit for damages was instituted against Charles E, Meyers and A. Claude Kalmey, the election officials who barred them from registry. The United States Cirenit 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 ait all elections. “The election officials demurred, claiming this amendment did no apply to State elections. The court overruled the demurrer and the officials ap- puiled to the United States Supreme Court. The’ cout held that these election officials could not ignore the potency of the Fifteenth Amendment in striking ont the word “white” as a qualification fo poting, and that this amendment applies to municipal elections as well as te Federal elections, 3 THE MAN OF THE HOUR. ‘There are few men who have come to the Pacific Coast within the last few years that have made a deeper impression on the spir- itual and’civic life of Oakland as has the Rev. Dr. G. C. Coleman, the highly esteemed pastor of the North Oakland Baptist Church. He has withstood the- severe criticism of the world in the stand taken on worldly amusements and has won the respect of the lead- ing white citizens of the city for his maaly stand taken in the de- fense of his people. Recently the largest gathering of colored Baptists ever assem- bled in Oakland was held in the North Oakland Baptist Church at the instigation of the Doctor, and the pleasing remarks heard on every side but confirm us in the conviction that Dr. Coleman is the man of the hour here in Oakland. ‘The Sunshine bids him God speed-and wishes his future to be as prosperous as the past and fraught with well being.

Negro Doli Company that their rush sea- son, which it usually has during the Christmas, is just new 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 out, the manager declares that it was surprising to note that the people wanted the dolis ranging in. sizes from seventeen to thirty-six inches. The orders are be'.g rapidly sent out. Many of the churches have sent in orders that they might conduct their bazaars. Dolls will be shipped threaghout the year, declares the mavager of the Doll Company, as we are ready to fill orders as they come.

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. The Negro has produced 6,000 books and periodicals, nearly 7,000 songs and musical compositions. The Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann is secretary of the commission, having charge of the celebration. Growth of the Mayesville (S.C.) School. The Mayesville Industrial school at Mayesville, S. C., was founded many years ago by Miss Emma Wilson. It is doing a most commendable work among the people of that section of the state. The school was started in an old abandoned cotton gin house without any furnishings. Ten children of the neighborhood formed the first group of students. It has grown from a very small school to one of the largest and best managed of its kind in South Carolina. Miss Wilson is still at the head of the work and tells a most thrilling story of her struggles to maintain the institution during the early years of its existence. Many good white people, north and south, contribute to its support. Some Features of the June Crisis. The June issue of the Crisis Magazine is called the Great Northwest number. It bristles with much interesting and instructive reading matter. The "Men of the Month" section is illustrated from photographs of persons who have won distinction in their line. Each month brings new friends to this militant race publication, "which has come to the kingdom for such a time as this." good. he ... earned all that or all that he has made in the way of a reputation. He has been doing work along this line for the past sixteen years. When he entered Mehsey nearly twenty years ago he was without money, but he had pluck, push and ambition, backed up by industry, honesty and reliability, and with these he appeared before Dr. G. W. Hubbard, dean of the college, declaring that he desired to be a dentist. He was not afraid of work, but had formed an alliance with it. He worked in the school printing office and during the summer found employment in hotels in various parts of the country. Suits to Order, Cleaning Pressing, Repairing and Expert Altering Cor.
