TUSKEGEE TRUSTEES MEET. Dr. Booker T. Washington's Annual Report Reveals School's Great Work. New York—The annual meeting of the Tuskegee Institute board of trustees was held recently at the rooms of the General Education Board. New York. Mr. William G. Willcox of Willcox, Peck & Hughes, treasurer of the investment committee, presided in the absence of Hon. Seth Low, chairman of the board of trustees. Those present at the meeting were Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Sears, Roebuck & Co, Chicago; Mr. Frank Trumbull, chairman of the board of directors of the Chespak, and Ohio railroad; Mr. E. A. Bancroft, general counsel of the International Harvester company, Chicago; Mr. Charles E. Mason, Boston; Mr. C. W. Hare, editor Tuskegee News, Tuskegee, Ala.; Mr. R. O. Simpson, Furman, Ala.; Mr. William M. Scott of the Cutter Electrical company, Philadelphia, and the following additional trustees and officers of the institute—namely, Dr Booker T. Washington, principal; Mr. Warren Logan, treasurer; Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary; Mr. Charles H. Gibson, chief accountant; Mr. A. J. Wilborn, Tuskegee, Ala.; Mr. R. R. Taylor, director of mechanical industries. Invitations were extended to Hon. J. C. Napier, Nashville, Tenn.; Major R. R. Moton of the Hampton institute, Virginia, and Mr. W. J. Edwards, principal of the Snow Hill institute, Snow Hill, Ala., to dk with the trustees during their deliberations. Dr. Washington's annual report was the chief incident at the meeting. He reported an enrollment during the year of 1,537 students from thirty-two states and territories, ninety-six of these coming from nineteen foreign countries or colonies of foreign countries. Dr. Washington reported the total receipts during the year from all sources for current expenses, buildings and improvements, endowment fund and from undesignated legacies, a total of $379,708.83. The endowment fund of the school is now $1,970,214. A particular reason for rejoicing at the meeting was a report made showing that practically $100,000 has been raised for the modern steam heating and power plant which was recently completed at Tuskegee at a cost of $274,000 in addition to the money also raised for current expenses. When the trustees met last February for their midwinter meeting at Tuskegee there was due to be raised to complete payment on the steam heating and power plant $07,520. A systematic campaign was put under way to raise this money, and during the month of June the whole country had been divided into five parts and had been effectively canvassed. When the trustees met in June the report was made that the amount needed for the steam and power plant had been oversubscribed, two of the trustees alone raising their individual gifts of $10,000 to $12,500 each. The budget for the next fiscal year calls for an expenditure of $291,567. RELIGIOUS WORKERS SHOW SPIRIT OF BROTHERHOOD World's Christian Endeavor Society on Side of Golden Rule. The Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch gives the following account of what happened at one session of the recent World's Christian Endeavor convention recently held in Chicago. It says: Moved by services of men prominent in church and business life of the south, southern men and women, delegated to the World's Christian Endeavor convention, in session at Chicago, acknowledged brotherhood with the New race and determined to extend it to the hand of fellowship. Out of this idea is to grow the southern extension committee of the Christian Endeavor, which the Rev. Ira Landreth of Nashville, Tenn., calls the beginning of the interdenominational union of the colored people. "We are going to take the Christian Endeavor into the Negro churches," said Dr. Landreth, "organize new societies and help millions of blacks to enlightenment. God has placed at our door the greatest opportunity for Christian work that ever came to any missionaries anywhere." "Until the men rise up and say, 'I will not kill, nations will war with one another,' according to Daniel A. Polling, citizenship superintendent of the United Society of the Christian Endeavor H. declared that neither arbitration treaties nor neutrality agreements will bring everlasting and universal peace. "The message of the Christian Endeavor is patriotic," said Mr. Polling. "The patriotism of Christian Endeavor is practical, and addresses itself to the foes of the state." "These foes are intemperance and war. Against them the young people's movement hurts the flower of the world, the youth of the kingdom. Christian Endeavor can and will enroll millions of young people from all sects, colors and nationalities in the peace union which was the vision of President Clark. These millions will proclaim the fulfilment of the sixth commandment. These will declare 'I will not kill.'" For the benefit of those who may not know it, we will state that the Christian Endeavor society work is no new thing, the colored people. The work of the organization is strong in the A. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion churches and some other denominations. It is not popular with the Baptist Convention. The chief religious feature among Baptists, aside from the church and Sunday school for young people, is the Baptist young people's union PURITY·BAKERY CO. Pies, Cakes and Bread.

Claxton Chief Speaker at Recent Graduation Exercises — Governor Presents New Dining Hall. Professor Prillerman Reappointed. At the end of a school year filled with earnest effort and dotted with brilliant bits of unusual achievement Professor Byrd Prillerman, president of the West Virginia Collegiate institute, at Institute, W. Va., receives the compliments of the state board of regents in being reappointed head of this busy, thrifty state school. The work of the students in all departments of the school the past term bears the stamp of painstaking personal effort. The reappointment of Professor Prillerman is hailed with delight by his large circle of friends among both races in the state, the race generally and educators especially, who know of the great work which he is doing for the race in West Virginia. When Gov- MARIA MAYORA error Hatfield recommended to the state legislature the raking of the institute to college rank he did it because the work and possibilities of the school merited it. At the recent graduation exercises the leading speaker was the Hon. P. P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education, who made a plea for the education of all peoples and all classes of people. He complimented President Prillerman in terms of high praise for the great work he is doing for our race through the institution. He also complimented the state for its attitude and liberality toward the school, adding that it was among the best six in the United States for the education of colored youth. The presentation of diplomas was made by M. P. Shawkey, and Governor Hatfield, on the part of the state, presented the new dining hall to the institute. A prize of $15 was given for the best kept room in the boys' dormitory and one for $10 to the room making the most progress toward cleanliness. Thomas Jesse Jones, connected with the United States bureau of education, made the presentations. The name of Miss Geneva Prillerman, the president's daughter, appears on the list of graduates from two courses. Below is a full list of the names of those who received diplomas and the departments from which they graduate: Normal course—Mamie Anthony, Ray Bowles, Brunette Brown, Carl Burkes, Florence Chapman, Martha Childress, George Coats, Ophelia Daniels, Lucille Dixie, Maggie Ferguson, Clifford Gore, Elvin Graves, Courtney Green, Emmett Hughes, Callie Jackson, Joe Willa Jamerson, James Lipscomb, Willa Lipscomb, Amelia McClannahm, Mozetta Page, Maggie Price, Geneva Prillerman, George Rayford, D.

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 lured 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.

Brooklyn. — Success has apparently already come to Miss E. Leola Hudson, who graduated several weeks ago with high honors from Pratt institute of this city. Miss Hudson entered the institution after having graduated from the university course of the Atlanta Baptist college, now better known as Morehouse college, for the purpose of completing a course in house economic and domestic scientific arts. The regular prescribed course covers a period of three years, but because of her exceptional ability Miss Hudson was able to take one year off the course, much to the delight and satisfaction of the entire faculty. As soon as it was learned that Miss Hudson was to graduate invitations began to pour in upon her to accept position in some of the numerous educational institutions. Perhaps one of the first offers that came to her was from the school of her own home city, Selma, Ala., where she has spent all of her life. Following close on the heels of this was an MISS E. LEOLA HUDSON. offer from Roger Williams university at Nashville, Tennessee, and then from Spellman seminary, Atlanta, Ga., of which school she is an alumna. Another came from the state school at Tallahassee, Fla. Other institutions have also offered the accomplished young Miss Hudson a position, but it was not known up to the time of her leaving this city recently just which of the offers she would accept. While in Brooklyn she spent the entire time at the home of Rev. and Mrs. S. V. 2. 1mm on Chaucey street and was an active worker in the religious affairs of the Holy Trinity church. The career of Miss Hudson as a scholar began at an early age when she finished with honors from the Clark high school at Selma, then the normal course at Selma university, where she won two medals. She then entered Spellman seminary and finished the teachers' course, winning another medal that had not been captured for a number of years. Miss Hudson then entered the college department of Morehouse college and headed the class, finishing with honors and capturing the highest prize in the gift of the college. It was then that she came to Pratt . this city, from which institution she finished, sustaining her former brilliant reputation as a student. NOTED VISITOR AT SOCIETY FOR HISTORICAL RESEARCH Miss L. E. Wilkes Inspects Work of Organization at Yonkers, N. Y. Miss L. E. Wilkes, president of the Afro-American Folk Lore and Story Telling club, inc. of W. Washington, was the guest of the Negro Society For Historical Research, Yonkers, N. Y., on the last week in July. She visited and inspected the splendid collections of Dr. Marten, vice president of the society; Mr. A. A. Schomburg, sec. ary, and later visited the Yonkers collection in the home of J. E. Bruce, president, where she saw many old and rare books, African curios, autograph letters, pictures of noted Negroes, rare manuscripts and pamphlets. Miss Wilko, expressed herself as well pleased with the work the society is doing in gathering these books and other useful data concerning the race and presented the society with a copy of her monograph on Frederick Douglass, which is used in the Washington schools on Douglass day, and also with a copy of a speech on John Brown by an old veteran who was contemporary with John Brown. Major Wright's Plea For a Square Deal Major Richard R. Wright, president of the Georgia State Industrial college at Savannah, Ga., made a strong plea for fair treatment of the colored race in his speech at Cincinnati during the recent session of the National Teachers' association. Major Wright says that the 2,000,000 men of our race available for military service may yet be called upon to come to the front in defense of the war. Social Settlement Work In New York With Mrs. M.

The bestir himself along all these line Civic Center did when they hear San Quentin. There is a great over this country, and we see not not look into all these civic du It is a well-known fact that the States' colored detention camps It appears to us that an organization of some kind might interest itself in looking up and looking out for deserving Negroes who might be so unfortunate or fortunate as to be placed in an institution of this kind. The law permits them to make application for parole after serving out half of their term, but one must have a friend or friends on the outside who will furnish them with employment and in a general way look out for them and be their sponsor until the period of their regular full term shall have expired. Now, it does appear to us that some strong society with influence like the Mothers' Club or the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People might with propriety maintain a Prison Committee to look out for deserving men and women and youths that might need a strong hand to uphold them and protect them from the evils that would tempt them. There are numerous white societies that would aid ex-convicts and juvenilelee offenders, and it would not be out of place for our societies' committees to act in conjunction with these social uplift societies and take charge of all colored unfortunate offenders and sinners against our society. It is a well-known fact that in certain States and parts of this country Negroes are not allowed any say as to the care of convicts or their future course. This is left entirely to the whites, although the penal institutions of the South are over two-thirds populated with Negroes. Many are sent on to inhuman convict farms as a source of revenue both to the States and to the lessees of farm prisons, and their condition will hardly be changed in the South as with regards to Negroes, especially until we are allowed to have an equal voice in the government, and then we may expect saner treatment. Had Leo Frank not been a Jew but a Southern white he would not have been sent off to the farm, but could have been kept at the regular State Prison, where the gattling guns in the high towers could have prevented any such thing as stealing him away. That the Negroes must wake up and bestir himself along all these lines goes without saying, just as the Civic Center did when they heard of segregation at the prison at San Quentin. There is a great wave of prison reform sweeping over this country, and we see no reason why as citizens we should not look into all these civic duties and help in the moral uplift. It is a well-known fact that the bull pens of some of the Southern States' colored detention camps for convicts are a disgrace. EQUAL FIGHTS IN FRANCE. The Diagno Dill Gives Military Privileges to All Alike. Paris. The chamber of deputies in this city has three colored deputies representing the colonies from which they are sent by the suffrage of their fellow citizens. A deputy from Paris recently says that the race and color question that was raised in the French chamber of deputies by the bill of the Negro deputy, D. Diagno, representing Senegal, providing for the extension of general compassory military service in France to coexist with compassory whose inhabitants enjoy French citizenship was presented in numerous new lights and complications at the session of the chamber. The question of how to apportion a pension in cases of polygamist Senegalese leaving several widows proved a poser for the deputies. The minis ter of war and the military committee of the chapter approved the general provisions of the Diagne bill, which provide for the incorporation with the regular French forces of the Senegalese subject to compulsory service. The action of the committee was immediately attacked by Deputy Labrone, who pictured the difficulties arising from the presence in the French army of soldiers unable to speak French and of different religion and social customs. Deputy Labrue also raised the question of confusion in the payment of pensions to the widows of polygamous Senegalese. He proposed an amendment providing for the incorporation of such troops in native regiments entitled to pensions and the other rights of French citizens. The speaker was frequently interrupted by protests from the Negro Deputies Diagne, Lagrosilliere of Martinique and Candace and Boisneuf of Guadeloupe, Lagrosilliere crying amid frantic applause, "Our fellow citizens ask only to be allowed to serve the mother country, for which they already have poured out their blood." Paul Deschneuil, president of the chamber, was forced to quell the tumult by declaring that the entire chamber felt "the same respect and the same love for all, whatever their race or religion, who are fighting in the folds of the tricolored flag." Deputy Labrone insists on the special regiments for Senegalese who do not speak French. Deputy Bolswne interrupted, crying, "I then demand a special regiment for Frenchmen unable to read and write." Deputy Diagne then obtained the floor and made an eloquent appeal or behalf of the blacks, reviewing the part they had played in conquering the French colonial empire. "For eleven months the Senegalese have demanded to be allowed to serve France," he said; "if they haven't been permitted to do so it is 'he fault of the minister of war.'" Deputy Diagne said that the widows of soldiers ought to receive pensions even when there were several, but he added: "Native soldiers are not as rich as the average French soldier, who is also poor and therefore has only one wife. Polygamy is a luxury of wealth." Alexandre Millerand, minister of war, said the Diagne oil seemed to meet the wishes of a majority of the colonials and urged its passage. The bill was passed without change. PRESIDENTS OF LAND GRANT COLLEGES TO MEET JULY 30.

Dear Readers: I promised to contribute another World's Fair article for this week's issue, but I cannot refrain from adding a word of praise for Prof. Jackson. Of all the splendid advantages derived from the World's Fair, none has been more enjoyable than the bringing to Oakland this great artist. I am sure that the people of Oakland and the bay cities wish that he would remain and organize a great choral society among the singers of the race. But I must master with my W. P. tetter. If you remember a few weeks ago in my letter, speaking of the exhibits by colored people, I mentioned the fact that O. T. Tanner's pictures had received medals at several world's fairs and that he had pictures in galleries of France. Since the publication of this article the P. P. I. E. board of awards has awarded to Mr. Tanner a gold medal, and in the new art catalogue issued ten days ago they have given the list of the number of awards Mr. Tanner has received. But out of the long list this is the only gold medal awarded to a set of beautiful sketches charcoal and water colors, the work of pupils in the schools of Washington, D. C. This collection is not mounted but is in a case which looks like a medicine case, marked Colored Schools of Washington, D. C. The two charcoal sketches from the Summer High School of St. Louis, one by Agnes Fort and St. Smith, are on the wall near the door of the and between theater number one. Will give you other information in my next. DELILAH L. BEASLY.

Peck Highly Gratified—Big Audience Greets the Choristers. On last Thursday evening the chorus of 125 voices rendered their recital at Hamilton Auditorium. They were assisted by Mr. Chas. Tinsley of San Francisco and Mrs. Pearl L. Winters of Bakersfield. Mrs. Winters more than pleased her hearers as only a contralto of her denomination can do. He deep, heavy voice seemed to thrill and electrify her hearers. Mr. Fairfax of Kansas City rendered a select reading from Dunbar and was encored several times. The chorus certainly did not sing in their old way, but with new vigor and inspiration. They appeared to sing with new tongues and voices, so well and thoroughly had Prof. Jackson drilled them in his new method—old songs but new tunes. The rendition was a credit to the colored people of Oakland and the State and much credit is due Rev. Peck for his effort. The 1915 Committee of the G. U. O. of O.

Department of Art, Forensic Recorder Are Encouraged. Ashbury Park, N. J. - The People's Recorder, E. M. and F. S. Webster owners, celebrated its first anniversary on Friday, July 30. The venture has been very successful, notwithstanding in the beginning the owners of the paper had to employ a New York printer to do the work in New York city each week. Many other difficulties confronted the Messrs. Webster, but they exercised great patience and used good judgment. In about nine months they had gained considerable experience and mastered most of the difficult problems which confronted them at the beginning. In relating his early experience with the paper E. M. Webster says: "Seeing the expenses going up and the profits beginning to dwindle, type, press and everything necessary to print the paper was purchased from a New York printers' supply house on the 5th of October, 1914. This enabled us to do jobwork and insert 'last minute' news, which was another stride forward. Since that time the Recorder has steadily forged ahead, slowly but surely. "There were times when things looked dark and discouragement loomed high, but we had only to turn to a little card which we had tacked upon the wall which reads, 'Heaven is not gained by a single bound, but we build the ladder by which we rise,' etc. This gave us new hope and greater courage. On this, the Recorder's first birthday, we find in summing up _hat_ we have made a great stride toward the coveted goal, and with the same good fortune that has attended us in the past we shall ultimately reach the desired end. We extend today our best wishes to our readers and supporters, and we wish them the greatest success. "The Recorder has passed the infant stage. From an expensive experiment it has partly reached the happy realization of our fond dreams. Our endeavors have been crowned with a success that has won the patronage and esteem of many subscribers and advertisers in a field of more than 400 colored publications. "We take this opportunity to thank our many hundreds of subscribers, advertisers, voluntary contributors and well wishers. The encouraging letters received have been many, and they generally came at a time when they were most welcome. Our appreciation is evident by our efforts to please. In the installation of interesting features which we are able to get from time to time we hope to cover a wield field. "We invite suggestions and criticisms from subscribers and readers. They are always welcome. The Recorder is for the benefit of our people as a race, and we respectfully invite the public to make it their home companion." ACTIVITY AMONG FARMERS.

G. Pergerson, Proprietor 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 of Kentucky, Insurance Co. of Hertford, Conn. He has a full charge of the railroad insurance 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, corginal 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. The young men who are running the Maroin Hall dancing school on Thursday evenings will make it a point to dispense with the school whenever it interferes with a date taken by any fraternal or charitable organization. They are also in a position to rent Marion Hall at a reduced price on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and Friday evenings, and solicit the patronage of the public. It is requested that the general public of the bay cities will rally towards attending the entertainment at Hamilton's Auditorium on August 26, as Rev. Peck is doing everything that is in his power to make this the greatest affair that has ever been witnessed in Oakland. CHINESE HERB SPECIALISTS.

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, "will wait to get the big dolls." While hundreds of small dolls were sent out, the manager declares that it was surprising to them 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 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.

J. C. Jackson, D. D., Has Accomplished During His Interesting Career In the Ministry—Man of Broad Learning and Splendid Qualities of Leadership. By GEORGE F. KING. Philadelphia. — There is a very exceptional and peculiar degree of interest now being manifested by the Baptist denomination among our people throughout Pennsylvania for the effective reaching of the unreached of the race and bringing them under the influence of the church. To get the results that are so strongly manifested by the Baptists in this section, it naturally requires men of the higher type and training who are truly devoted to the ministry. The south and its many institutions of learning are contributing a large quota of the ministers who are really REV. J. C. JACKSON, D. D. transforming lives for good. Benedict college, located at Columbia, S. C., an institution which is doing a splendid work, has a graduate among the leaders of the Baptists in this section who is a concrete example of what a minister should be among all classes of people. This individual is the Rev. Dr. J. C. Jackson, who has proved by his ability that he is highly endowed for leadership. Dr. Jackson is a native of the Palmetto State, where he began his influential career. Since his graduation from Benedict college he has specialized at several well known theological institutions, which have rounded him into one of the ablest of his denomination in this section. He has gained the distinction of being a church builder and sagacious organizer. He built St. Paul's Baptist church, Winnsboro, S. C.; did a most excellent work as pastor of St. Paul's Baptist church, Anderson, S. C., from which place he accepted a call to Court Street Baptist church, Lynchburg, Va. He was also highly successful in his work of seven years in this field, where he added about 600 new members and cleared the church of debt. In 1908 he accepted a call to the Salem Baptist church, Jenkintown, Pa., where he did some of his best constructive work and erected one of the most beautiful church edifices to be found among our people in Pennsylvania. A strong evidence of his wise leadership is seen in the social work he is doing in bringing about a closer relation between the better element of both races. During his pastorate in Jenkintown he organized the interdenominational Ministerial alliance of Philadelphia and vicinity and has been its president since its organization, nearly four years ago. For three sessions of the Baptist ministers' conference of Philadelphia he presided as its executive. He is vice president for Pennsylvania of the national Baptist convention. Among the white Baptists of this section he is highly esteemed, and during his stay in the state he has never before enjoyed a higher degree of friendship with the white Baptists. He is a member of the missionary committee of the North Philadelphia Baptist association. 1062 63rd On Dec. 1, 1914, he acceded 'o the persistent call of the members of the Second Baptist church, North Philadelphia, and has rallied them exceptionally well. The congregation has purchased a splendid church edifice since Dr. Jackson has been in charge. The property is worth over $40,000. Dr. Jackson is editor in chief of the Christian Banner, the 'oldest Baptist paper in the north. The forty-second annual meeting of the New England Baptist missionary convention will be held at this church, beginning Tuesday, June 2', 1916. Pythians Meet In Winkesbarre, Pa.

BOSTON HONORS PHILLIPS’ MEMORY Gitizens Uavel Fine. Statue of Noted Abolitionist. PATRIOTIC ENERCISES HELD With Music and Speeches by Eminent Men, Public Turns Out En Masse to Witness Event of National Interest. W. Moriroe Trotter Speaks For Our Race. Boston. —A few minutes before 0 o'clock on the afternoon of July 5 the Yell fell from the $20,000 bronze statue ‘of Wendell Phillips in the Public Gar- den, and a crowd of from 5,000 to 6,000 acclaimed with cheers and patri- fotie soug Daniel Chester French's al most speaking memorial of Boston's famous orator and abolitionist. ‘As the sun was sinking bebind rain clouds in the West little John C.

Brigham, Sweet and inspiring were the singing by the colored singers, led by | aes eo. taylor aod, Thermal Jones, and the musle of the brass band oe Company I, Sixth regiment of Mas: sachusetts militia, Pleturesque and touching was the encomlum by the only survivor of the New England abolition- fsts, Prank B.Sanborn, now elghty-three years old, still active, a coworker with Phillips. “Karnest and unqualified was the praise by the spokesman for col ored Americans, W. M. Trotter. Fired with eloquence born of love was the eulogy of Ireland's friend and friend of all oppressed by Michael J. Jordan, son of O'Convell’s Island home; tuneful and noble tho paean of the poe! of the occasion, «:r::v/lson of Phillips party leader, Dears, h1x name, William Lloyd Garrison, kkvery partictpant was an emulator of the “Prophet of Libraty, Champion of the Slave,” while thé colored women of the Woman's Reltet corps held the colors. ‘The monumeut, a —sasterplece by Daniel Chester Fvench, the sculptor, represents the great abolitionist stand ing at a reading desk, his right hand resting upon the desk, his left out Stretched «nd hoiting © bit of broker fetter, Upon the trarble background above the head 9ivche statue, are (he words, “Whether In Chains or in Lau rels, Liberty Knows Nothing but Vie tory.” On the pedestal, tn front, ar the words in raised brouze letters: WENDELL PHILLIPS. | CHAMPION OF TE SLAVE. On the reverse side of the back ground {s this quotation from Phillips: “I love ‘wexpressibly these streets of Bosta:, over whose pavements my moter held up tenderly my ba'sy feet. and if God grants me time enough I will make them too pure to bear the footsteps of a slave.” + ‘The excreises were openes by Mr. William D, Brigham, secretary of the Wendell Philiips Memorial association, who introduced the acting mayor, George W. Coleman, president of the tty council. Mr. Coleman then introduced, n turn, four speakers, wb presented a verbal panorama of Wendell Philltps’ life. William D. Brigham spoke on “Morning—Youth and Vision" Frank lin Benjamin Sanborn on “Noon—the Abolitionist P.oried;” William Monroe Trotter on “Afternoon—Citizenship For the Colored American,” and Michael J, Jordan “Evening—What Mr, Phillips Did For Ireland.” Mr. Coleman, in introducing Willlam Monroe ‘Trotter, sald that nothing was so appropriate as for the colored race to have a spokesinan in dedicating a monument to Wendell Phillips and that there could be no more fit representative than William Mouroe Trotter. Mr. Trotter sald thas Wendell Phil Ups was the originator of the north's policy of reconstruction and « ploneer advocate of the ballot for colored Americans. No man had done more for the cause of human rights, perhaps, than Wendell Phillips, save Charles Sumner, Wendel! Phillips was among the first to announce emancipation as the purpose of the war and to urge that the people of color should be used as soldiers to help to save the Union. He was a pioneer in the movement for suffrage. He saw to ft that slav- ery should be torn up by the roots and that as far as federal Iw was con- cerned every man, white and black, should have eitizenship and suffrage. Wendell Philiips believed, as we do, that the greatest thing 1s human free- dom, sald Mr. Trotter, and tt cannot be tatntained without equality, and there can be no equality without. the rie NEEDS LESSON IN SCIENCE Portland (Ore.)
