(Special to The Monitor)
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 11.—Last Friday the daily papers carried front page stories of the finding of the mutilated body of Miss Edna Ellis, an eighteen-year-old typist, in a clump of weeds in a vacant lot in the northwestern part of this city. As usual, it was taken for granted that a Negro had committed the crime, the motive being criminal assault. This was the theory advanced by the police who at once set to work to arrest some Negro upon whom the crime might be fixed.
Your correspondent overheard this significant remark from a rather staid and dignified self-respecting St. Louisian whose indignation was justly aroused by the box-car type headline, "Police Hunt Negro Seen Near Lot." I feel quite sure it will not shock readers of The Monitor many of whom doubtless have thought the same thing although they have not expressed it in the forcible language of this man. It was this:
"Why in hell do the police always try to fix crimes of this character upon some Negro and give the criminal who, in nine cases out of ten, is some degenerate or criminal white, a chance to escape? This constant stigmatization of our race makes my blood boil and is enough to make a pious preacher cuss a blue streak, if it would do any good."
Your correspondent would add, "them's my sentiments, too." But to the story. The body of Miss Ellis, who was a stenographer employed by the Bell Telephone company, was found Friday morning in a vacant lot at Garrison avenue and North Market street, her throat slashed with a razor and her hands and arms bearing slashes showing that the plucky girl had put up a desperate fight for her life.
Several boys reported that they had seen a tall Negro loitering around the lot where the unfortunate girl's body had been found. Women in the vicinity also recalled seeing "a tall Negro" around the same place whose description tallied with that given by the five boys—Walter Dugan, aged 14; Henry Gerlich, 13; Howard McHenry and Chester Boenker, 16, and "Babe" Mackey, 7—all living in the immediate neighborhood. Mrs. Francis, who resides next to the Ellis home, volunteered the information that she had frequently seen a tall Negro loitering around the Ellis home.
The information furnished by the boys and Mrs. Francis, taken in connection with the fact that a razor handle was found near the body strengthened the belief of the police that the crime was committed by a Negro, for whom a hunt was made and several suspects were taken into custody, but were subsequently released.
Lieutenant O'Brien Suspicious
One police official, at least, did not hold to the theory of his fellows. That was Lieutenant "Darby" O'Brien of the Davton street police station. He believed that the deed was that of a jealous suitor. Holding to this theory scouted by his fellow officers, Lieut. O'Brien asked the girl's mother if her

daughter had told her of any friends whose society she spurned. Mrs. Ellis immediately named Albert Ellis and told Lieut. O'Brien that she had forced him to leave her home some months ago after his engagement to Miss Edna Ellis had been broken. Mrs. Ellis told of her daughter's having returned her engagement ring.
Confronted by Girl's Mother
Confronted by Clyde Mackenzie.
Lieut. O'Brien, in company with Sergt. Gartland and Officers Richardson and Ryan, went to the home of Ellis early Friday morning, but he was not in. They waited until he returned at 11 o'clock and then took him into custody. He was taken to the scene of the murder and called upon to view the body of the girl. He was confronted by the mother, who accused him of the crime. He stoutly denied it, however.
Lieut. O'Brien worked upon the case for eighteen and one-half hours and near midnight Saturday surrendered the prisoner to Sergt. Martineau and Lieut. Gerk, who continued the questioning and finally obtained the confession from Ellis.
Ellis Makes Confession
Sunday morning Ellis, who bears the same name, but is no relation of his victim, made a confession of his crime which was subsequently reduced to writing and signed by him. He said that jealousy had prompted the murder and that he had intended to take his own life, but was prevented from doing so when the razor snapped as he slashed the throat of his victim for the third time. He made no attempt to lessen the magnitude of his crime and admitted that he had deliberately planned to murder the girl when convinced that there was no possibility of their marriage.
Miss Ellis begged for mercy, Ellis said, but he ignored her plea and struck her in the face with his fists. She fell to the ground, but arose quickly to her feet and grappled with him. He reached into his vest pocket while holding her with his other hand and drew out the razor.
She divined his intention and grasped the razor, pleading, "Oh, Al, don't cut me, please!" He said he wrested it from her, and as he did it opened, severely cutting her hands. He then held her at arms' length and, in the words of his confession, "slashed right and left until she fell to the ground."

ST. LOUIS ORGANIZES LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
(By the Associated Negro Press)
ST. LOUISE, Mo., Nov. 11.—The Douglass Life Insurance company is now one of the strongest business ventures of the colored people in this city. This has been brought about by a big boosting campaign among the colored people themselves. Discrimination practiced by the white companies was the chief reason for the initiation of the campaign, although the need of giving practical encouragement to race business ventures also entered largely into the matter.
MONUMENT FOR DUNBAR

SEEKING TO ESTABLISH NEEDED PRECEDENT
Denial of Extradition to Southern States Which Grant No Protection to Colored Prisoners, But Virtually Hand Them Over to Mobs.
NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 11.—Walter F. White, assistant secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., gave the following interview for the Associated Negro Press on the case of Tom Ray of Wilkinson county, Georgia, whose extradition to Georgia for trial on a charge of murder the association is fighting. Ray is at present in custody in the Wayne county jail, Detroit, Mich.
"Tom Ray, in self-defense killed a white man named Faulkner," said Mr. White, "in Wilkinson county, Georgia, after Faulkner had several times made attempts on Ray's life. Ray escaped to Canada, later returning to Detroit, where he was arrested.
"Governor Sleeper of Michigan granted extradition to the Georgia authorities for Ray, although the last Negro for whom he granted extradition was lynched twelve hours after he had arrived in Kentucky.
"Attorneys Willis and Hinton and Attorney W. Hayes McKinney, acting for the Detroit branch of the N. A. A. C. P., immediately applied for a writ of habeas corpus. A hearing on this was held before Judge Hunt in Detroit Wednesday, October 13. Judge Hunt granted the writ, but Ray was immediately rearrested when Georgia officials wired that an indictment was being forwarded.
"A new hearing was held before Governor Sleeper on the indictment on Wednesday, October 20. I testified at that time as an investigator of lynchings and as one of the compilers of "Thirty Years of Lynching," showing that if Ray were taken back to the state of Georgia he would not only fail to receive a fair trial, but would very probably be lynched immediately upon his return.
"In spite of the facts presented, Governor Sleeper said he saw no reason why Ray should not be returned. The attorneys for Ray immediately applied for a new writ of habeas corpus and in the event that that fails the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will take the case to the federal court.
"This case," said Mr. White in conclusion, "ought to be of especial interest to colored people of the United States as it may establish a precedent in the denial of extradition to southern states where Negroes accused of crime are lynched or denied justice."

HAMPTON DEFEATS
PETERSBURG, 12-6
By Charles H. Williams
Hampton, Va., Nov. 11—Under clear skies and a football day made to order, the Hampton Institute eleven defeated Petersburg on Saturday, October 30, in a hard-fought battle on the Petersburg gridiron. The stage was all set for a Petersburg victory. The grave was dug for an appropriate "burial," but it was Hampton that finally performed the ceremony. After the Seadiders' defeat by Shaw, the Petersburg enthusiasts thought it only remained for them to count the touchdowns, but their hopes were soon blasted, for within four minutes after the kickoff, Rigney crossed the Petersburg goal line for the first touchdown. This feat so dazed the Petersburg team that, before its complete recovery, Northern slipped through their jine for the second touchdown.
Petersburg in the last half showed fighting spirit. In an effort to score they tried drop-kicking and forward-passing time after time, but to no avail. The Petersburg students plead for a touchdown in the last minutes of play, but the defensive work of Hampton's line killed all hopes, and they had to content themselves to wait another twelve months.
The game was well played. Sportsmanlike spirit prevailed.
Touchdown: Rigney and Northern.
Officials: Wilson, referee; Bacon, umpire; Scott, linesman.
Time of quarters: 15 minutes.
The lineup:
Petersburg—Nicholas( captain), left end; Tyler, left tackle; Jefferson, left guard; Thrift, center; Pettie, right guard; Lee, right tackle; Turner and Coates, right end; L. Turner, quarterback; Poindexter, left halfback; Brown, right halfback; Spratley, fullback.
Hampton—Watley, left end; Banks, left tackle; Thompson and Smothers, left guard; Gayle, center; Coleman, right guard; Bradby, right tackle; Wright, right-end; Northern and Temple, quarterback; Roseboro, left halfback; Wood (captain), right halfback; Rigney, fullback.
ATLANTA UNIVERSITY
The Atlanta University fighting eleven made a good and promising showing in the initial game of the season of the university gridiron on Saturday, October 30.
The contest was staged with Talladega College and, although outweighed by at least fifty pounds, the warriors of the Crimson and Gray held their own admirably and determinedly against the onslaughts of a team obviously better trained and balanced.
The fighters from Alabama presented a very imposing appearance; men of uniform size and weight, attired in new togs, with first-class equipment and much knowledge of "tactics" and formations, and a superabundant confidence in their superior technical skill.
The men of the university—just football players, antiquated togs, some without kickings—a few "bright lights" perhaps, but mostly contestants in straight football, entered the game with a considerable handicap.
The game began. The Alabama eleven kicked off. Atlanta, receiving the kick, fumbled. Talladega scooped.

OLS AND COLLEGES up the pigskin and crossed the goal for a touchdown. Then began the contest. It was henceforth a battle of force pitted against chronic determination. The spectators watched with growing anxiety the swaying of the teams between the goals. Not a man knocked out on the line, the Crimson and Gray failed to come back at least four times before abandoning the effort. The end of the first half revealed Atlanta's score, 2; Talladega's, 7. No further gains.
The last half was a long and tedious grind. The closing moments were tense with anticipation as the dusty line of the Crimson and Gray intrenched near its goal. The score remained 7-2.
The team is in a state of vigorous development and much may be expected of it in the game with Tuskegee on Friday, November 5; later with Morehouse, and in the ramining games of the season's schedule.
ATLANTA UNIVERSITY
Atlanta University Loses the Second Game of the Season to Tuskegee Institute Thursday.
ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 11.—On the athletic field of the university Thursday afternoon the varsity eleven played the Tigers of Tuskegee Institute and lost to them, 12-0. Promptly at 3 o'clock the game began. The Tiger center kicked to Cade, the varsity quarterback, who returned thirty yards. After much fine play by both sides, a Tiger forward pass was downed on the goal line after having been missed by attempted interference. This was the first touchdown of the game. The Tigers, however, failed in the goal kick. In the remainder of the first and the beginning of the last half both sides did formation work in fine part.
The varsity began the last half in first-class style. Leake, center, kicked to the Tigers' forty-five-yard line. The Tigers returned fifteen yards. The Tigers were driven upon their ten-yard line when a monstrosity was unearthed in the form of a "mole" who dug steadily through the center of the varsity line. When the Tigers had bored to within thirty-five yards of the goal, a long forward pass of thirty yards, executed under very unavoidable circumstances, was missed by a Tiger outpost. The ball passed to the varsity. John Cade made, in these critical moments, the most spectacular end run of the game. Outrunning his interference and outmaneuvering the greater part of the enemy, stiff arming one Tiger for ten yards across the field, he gained ten yards before being downed. The Tigers gained the ball. They made twenty yards by a fake kick formation before the ball was downed by Long, the varsity left half. This move placed them within seven yards of the goal. Because of the unsteadiness of the varsity at this point, the Tigers were enabled to make another touchdown. Again, however, they failed in the goal kick.
The success of the Tigers was due to their superiority in the technic of the game. It was a gruelling contest honestly and strenuously fought out by real sportsmen. The Tigers claim they're "better since they beat A. U." At any rate, we are well pleased with the varsity's development since the last game. A. BOHANNON.

WHO DID IT?
Nw’ that the democrats have been/
defeated by the largest veces
vote ever cast in an election in the
United States, and instead of a demo-
cratic majority in the national con-
gress, which was their most earnest]
plea, the republicans gained over-
whelming majorities in both houses,
the democrats are casting about to see
whom they can blame for their defeat.
They boasted of having played their
best card in putting forth Cox and
Roosevelt. They claimed the better
end of the argument on the League of
Nations question on the ground that|
the people desired an international
obligation such as the league imposed.
The president had preached this and|
the democrats believed his personal |
influence would at least carry part of
the west while the “solid south” would
simply follow suit. But all of these
calculations were completely upset by
the tremendous republican majority.
They were further surprised by the
news that Tennessee, Missouri, Mary-
land and Oklahoma, all below the Ma-
son and Dixon line, had gone over into
the republican fold, besides West Vir-
ginia, a border state, and Ohio the
home of Cox and the state of which
he has been governor for three terms.
went republican by large majorities.
Further, they notice several towns in
such southern states as Florida, Mis-
sissippi and Alabama going repub-
Tiean. In the face of all this, in the’
midst of their maze, they have been
secking a “goat.” Some, such as our
esteemed contemporary, the World-
Herald, select Mr. Bryan as the one
responsible for this disaster. ‘They
say his inactivity in the campaign on
behalf of Cox brought about the
party’s defeat. Mr. Bryan, on the!
other hand, attributes the defeat to
Mr. Wilson, who forced his League
of Nations in’ the campaign as the
most important issue and “solemn
referendum,” and suggests that Mr.
Wilson resign immediately in favor of
Marshall. Others, still, attribute the
result to poor management by the na-|
tional committee. We know that all
of these contributed something to the
results of the election, but we by no
means agree that these are the main
causes. Democratic inefficiency, ex-
travagance, waste, mismanagement
and hypocrisy forced this most em-
phatie expression of the people's dis-
satisfaction at the same. The people
were not willing to further intrust|
ele deta with ovis el expect |
menters. Then there was the vote of
the colored people. They, too, had
suffered long enough from gross in-
justices and. diserimination and a
pressed themselves most emphatirally
in this way.
As to Mr. Bryan’s inactivity in the
campaign, we are inclined to find jus-|
tification in his position. We do not |
believe any considerable element of|
even pro-Wilson democrats could have,
even expectd a different course from |
Mr. Bryan, in the face of the treat-|
ment given him at San Francisco. The|
pro-Wilson demos boasted of having|
buried Bryan so deep politically that
he would not be able again to be!
resurrected. How could these same|
“malefactors’ as Mr. Bryan elects to,
call them, expect his support for the)
ticket put forth by the hands of those|
who had thns crucified him? — * |
But there was a Jim Reed of Mis-
souri, another victim of the San Fran-
cisco steam roller. This man was
shamefully treated in the convention,
not being allowed to take the seat to
‘which he had been duly elected. Reed,
although opposed to the Wilson autoc-
racy and the League of Nations, was,
‘we believe, sincere and conscientious
and very powerful in the polities of the
democratic party which fact the demos
overlooked. Both Reed’s and Bryan's
states went republican by the largest
plurality ever recorded in the history
of their states.
“Therefore, when feeling about for
someone, or something on which to
lay the blame for their defeat, we
would advise the party to think on
pees gael! .

“ez the mouth of the Lord hath
spoken it.”
The political campaign just closed
was the most interesting from many
standpoints, of any the nation has ex-
perienced in its history. The elector-
ate in this instance was made judge
wee to decide the merits of a
casef of our foreign policy. They were
called upon to pass on a “solemn
referendum,” on the League of Na-
tions as Mr. Wilson brought it from
Paris. The president placed the issue
in the campaign refusing any reserva-
tions which changed the obligations
set forth in the covenant.
‘The senate to which the president
had submitted the treaty had decided
that unless that instrument was
amended so as to leave unimpaired the
national independence of the American
government, and thereby serve our
best interests at home, it could not be
ratified. The president contended
that this co-ordinate branch of the
government had neither right nor
authority to decide a question of for-
eign policy such as the treaty and the
League of Nations made. Conse-
quently he made two famous swings
around the country, appealing to the
people directly, to support him in his
contention and force the senate to
ratify the covenant, The people’s man-
date would be accepted as final,
‘The senate in the meantime twice
refused to ratify, and twice returned
the document to the president, ‘The
president in turn forced the issue in
the national campaign, making the
people both judge and jury. Campaign
orators of renown in both political
parties plead in piercing tones for
endorsement of their case, while the
people, as judge and jury, sat in si-
lence until these “lawyers” of “hu-
manity” placed their case before them.
On November 2 this popular court rose
ap in the strength of its own judg-
ment and passed on the case. The re~
sult was the largest republican major-
ity ever recorded in the history of the
nation, Even the “solid south” crack-
ed, and Tennessee, Oklahoma and Mis-
souri fell over fish and feather into
the republican fold, ‘The people will
not be fooled all the time. They know
their needs and interests, and when
they find these being juggled by those
to whom they have entrusted them
they very soon, and emphatically, re-
pudiate them. The voice of the peo-
ple is the voice of God.
ARMISTICE DAY
[2S i the second anniversary of
the signing of the armistice
which staved the strife and silenced
the death-hurtling guns in the world:
enthralling war. It should be a day
of thanksgiving. For all the people of
the world who were engaged in thal
war it should be kept as a memorial
THE MONITOR
of rejoicing and thanksgiving for the’ g
cessation of blood shedding between
children of a comrhon Father. For all 5
Americans it should be a cause of pro-
found gratitude that guns were si
enced on that day,-for had it not been
so hundreds of thousands of the flow
of American manhood would have been
slaughtered in the strife. For Amer
ieans of color, too, it is a day of pro-
found significance; for our gallan
sons had been marked for slaughter
the charge upon Metz, strongly forti
fied and deemed impregnable, had
been planned. The Ninety-second di
vision, composed of America’s black
oldiers, were to be used as shock
troops. They were to lead the a
vanee on Metz. White American +roop: C
were to follow them up. We kn
how great the slaughter would have
been. The Ninety-second div ——
d have been annihilated. Others
would have met the same fate, But
by that Providence that overt
the strife was stayed and salughte R
ceased. Armistice Day should be
a day of thanksgiving to Almi: c
God for His goodness to the children
of men.
A GOODLY FELLOWSHIP
We it true that President-elect
Harding were of Negro an-
cestry he would find himself in a
goodly fellowship. Men like Alexander
Hamilton, John James Audubon, Alex-
ander Dumas, Alexander Pushkin
Frederick Douglas, Henry M. Tanner,
S. Coleridge Taylor, Stanley C. Braith-
waite, Charles W. Chestnut, Benjamin
Bannekar, Dr. Daniel Williams and
Alexander Crummell, just to mention
a few of the immortals of Negro blood
and anecestry, who have risen to emi-
nence constitute a goodly fellowship
to which one should esteem it an
honor and privilege to be admitted.
None of these were or are either in-
tellectual or moral weaklings, but men
of renown to whom the world pays
tribute.
SNYCOPATED SPASMS
Hoe once in a while you hear a
man or woman say something
about refinement and if you ask eight
out of ten folks what he or she is
talking about, they will tell you-that
it is some sort of Greek or Latin word
that nobody pays ‘much attention to
these days. The latter part of this
sermon is all right, but the former is
all to the ragged. The word is not
Greek or Latin, but good old fashioned
English. Refinement means smoothing
down the rough spots and varnishing
up a little. It means getting a stran-
gle hold upon our roughneck pro-
clivities and allow our gentle nature
to take a peep at the world without
getting scared. Many people imagine
that if they tried to be refined, the
general public would take them for an
easy mark and start handing them the
hot and heavy. Such an idea is as
moth eaten as an ancient disposition.
The truth is just the opposite. The
more refined a dude or dudes is, the
easier time he or she is going to have
going through this ping pong world.
A refined person can go a heap more
places than a person with a buzz-saw
temperament and do a lot more thinge
that are impossible for a human onion
with a megaphone mouth. Even a
lion pauses to wonder when he meets
up with a bunch of refinement. He is
just like the public, Refinement is so

rare that he has to think twice be-
fore he decides what to do. By this
time you will no doubt understand
what port we are headed for. We
want you to cultivate refinement. No
matter how you cultivate it, it is all
right with us. You can take it in tea-
spoonful doses, pill form or you can
swallow it by the gallon. It is safe
and non-poisonous. The first thing it
does is to take the hard jolts out of
your manners and sort of softens down
that loud voice of yours, somewhat
after the manner of easing down on a
phonograph selection. When these are
accomplished, it adds a certain distine-
tion to your phiz and gives your facial
map a bit of scenery that resemble:
the dawn of intelligence. When you
have gotten this far, the rest is easy.

human than rich.
There is much difference between
repudiation and defeat.
One had better lose his eyes than
his calling.
He who speaks the truth must have
one foot in the stirrup.
Corruption illuminates dark paths,
For the brightest lights cast the most
distinet and longest shadows.

A TRIUMPH OF THE SCREEN
oloved Photoplay Makes Wit With
Omaha Movie Goers—Thousands
Witness Play and Were Satisfied
Thousands of Omaha's movie fans
were treated to Micheaux’s new
screen production, staged by an exclu-
ive colored cast, in three runs at the
Diamond theatre, Twenty-fourth and
Lake streets, ending November 5. The
play, featuring the “Brute,” was
clean, sensational and interesting in
every act. The scenery in which the
play was staged was especially at-
tractive. Those who witnessed it were
nbued with a higher sense of respect
for our players as presented on the
average screen, The scene was in a
ery attractive and fashionable home
with such furnishings and surround-
ngs ag would make no one ashamed,
Aa a rule when members of our group
ire put on the sereen they are there
v8 the “smut faces” or “back-yarders”
or gome character that is merely
funny” and not at all enlightening,
‘ot so with this play. This produc-
fon was entirely free from all objec:
‘ionable scenes and presented a won-
derful story of a beautiful and tender
irl in the toil of a shrewd gambler
boss of the underworld, whose
reed is: “To make a woman love
‘ou, knock her down.”
Miss Evelyn Preer divided honors
ith the world-renowned Sam Lang-
ord, who was introduced to the
creen in a wonderfully realistic pic-
urlzation of one of his many fistic
battles. Every red-blooded man, wom-
n and child was intensely interested
nd highly pleased with this sensa-
tional photoplay and expressed their
\ppreeiation for this effort put forth

rietors of this playhouse.

‘The members of the Optimistic Set
gave a reception Monday afternoon.

‘Williams, complimentary to Mrs) wil-
Mam Jenquenz and Mrs. James O'Don-
ald. The afternoon was devoted to

ng the largest number of stitches

ed Mrs. Al Taylor atid the second to
Mrs. J. A. Patrick. Both of these

the honor guests, Mrs. Jenquenz and
Mrs, O’Donald, Two pretty bouquets
of flowers were also igven them by
the club members, A_ three-course
luncheon was then served, the ices
being in the form of turkeys.
THE ROUND TABLE
While I am musing, I recall the
words of that old Roman who said, “I
ame, I saw, I conquered.” This may
ve the sentiment of the victorious re-
wblicans, However, it remains to
e seen what use the victors will
make of their opportunity, As a
Lurchman, “The Seribe” sees the
hand of a kindly Providence leading
this nation to the open door of oppor-
unity; query, will it enter?
1 now return to the consideration
f the legitimacy of “Prince Hall” or
Negro Masonry in this country, quot-
ing freely from the writing of Brother
Jarry A. Williamson, deputy grand
master of the grand lodge of New
York state, Free and Accepted Ma-
sons (Prince Hall).
“Two objections against the Negroes
are: That the formation of African
lodge was an error, and further, that
it died a natural death about 1813,
Both assertions are quite satisfac-
torily contradicted as follows: Brother
Robbins in his report to the grand
lodge of Ilinois, in 1876, says:
“We believe, and we think we have
shown in former reports, that the orig-
inal legitimacy of African lodge is be-
yond question; and that its members
were robbed of their rights when the
grand lodge of Massachusetts was
formed in 1792.”
From the proceedings of the white
grand lodge of Ohio for 1876, page 17:
“Your committee deems it sufficient
to say that they are satisfied beyond
AN question that colored Free Ma-
sonry had a legitimate beginning in
this country as much as any other
Free Masonry; in fact, it came from
the same source.”
‘The most unusual comment made by
latter day writer upon the subject
is from the pen of Rear Admiral M.,
W. Brother Geo, W. Baird, past grand
master of the grand lodge of the Dis-
trict of Columbia, who states in an
article written for Bulletin 36, pub-
lished by the International Bureau for
Masonic Affairs*at Neuchatel, Swit-
zerland, that: “It was thought by
‘any that the action of that military

jodge was intended as an insult to the
‘Americans in making Masons of their
jcormer slaves.”
No facts were quoted to substan-
iiate such a conclusion. The good
brother forgot there was no legal eu
actment in effect against the owner-
hip of slaves at that time; also that
free Negroes” were descendants of
‘foreign-born parents, or from the in-
cermarriage of Negroes and Indians.
Wherefore the insult?
The first governing body among the
Negroes was styled “African Grand
odge,” In 1808 the name was changed
» the “Prince Hall Grand Lodge of
Massachusetts,” in honor and memory
| f the ploneer Negro Masons. I call
\ttention briefly to some of its work,
| 1s follows: On the 1téh of February,
(1812, it issued a warrant for the estab-
lishment of Boyer lodge Ne. 1 in New
York City. In the year 1826 it created
Celestial lodge No. 2, Rising Sun lodge
No. 3 and Hiram lodge No. 4, all in the
same city with Boyer lodge. A partial
‘ist of the grand miaster of Prince Hall
stand lodge is as follows:
Nero Prince, 1807 to 1809;
George Middleton, 1809 to 1811;
Peter Lew, 1811 to 1817;
Samuel H, Moody, 1817 to 1826;
John T, Hilton, 1826 to 1827.
The foregoing data, together with
the statement that 450 meetings were
held from 1807 to 1846, 1s conclusive
evidence that the lodge did not become
extinct as has been charged.
In concluding this lengthy article,
we may add that in ovr next article
we will discuss some of the objections
raised by our white brethren.
‘We who are of darker hue realized
long since that race and color preju-
dice is rampant in this country; yet
© are developing a new Negro, one
that has grown tremendously from the
teachings of the late world war, Pa-
trtotte to the core: giving freely with-
out murmur his Iife for a land that
fosters lynching of his kind. He dem-
‘onstrates to the world. to friend and
foe. the one fact—the Negro is a man.

Phillis Wheatley Association of Cleveland a Victory for Negro Leadership —"Better Girls, Better Homes"— Example of Inter-Racial Co-Operation.
Hampton, Va., Nov. 11.—Northern industrial centers are becoming better organized along social service lines to care properly for the Negro migrants. The movement of Negroes from the South to the North, the East and the West continues, in spite of the industrial depression. What Cleveland is doing to help young colored women and girls, many of whom have recently come from small southern rural communities, was recently presented to some of the Hampton Institute workers by Miss Jane Hunter, founder and general manager of the Phillis Wheatley association, which has won the active financial and moral support of Cleveland's white and colored citizens. Miss Hunter said:
"The Phillis Wheatley association building is not adequate to meet the needs of colored girls in Cleveland. We reach, on an average, probably eight or nine hundred girls a month. With our vesper services included we probably reach 15,000 girls a year. Some girls are educated, some are uneducated, some are poor, and some are in good circumstances. Our chief aim, however, is to help the working girl. We have never lost sight of the girl who has never had a chance.
"We have an employment bureau through which we help about 700 people every month. Most of the jobs are for work by the day. Other jobs are in domestic service, factories, and stores.
"We found that we were getting hold of a lot of untrained, ignorant girls who did not know anything about our customs and the things they were being asked to do, so we started an educational department two years ago. It was not a real success until last year, when ye secured the services of an Oberlin graduate to start that work properly. She had a building all to herself, in which to teach modern housekeeping, domestic service, and some handicrafts.
"We also found another problem to solve. The mothers whom we sent out to work were leaving at home a lot of little girls, who were at an age to be led astray. A lot of complaints had come to the Phillis Wheatley association and we thought we ought to do something. Of course, if we did not do it, someone else would; but there was no one else to do it. 'We organized what is known as the Girls' Reserve, in order to help girls from 8 to 15 years of age. We were fairly swamped with children. We started with volunteer help and what little I knew about children. In less than six weeks we had over 150 little girls. The Y. W. C. A. loaned us one of their workers, who mapped out a program for us. A fine white friend gave us money to send a girl off for special training for this work. We now have over 200 little girls enrolled. The mothers are happy to have us have their girls.
"In 1913 we had one worker, whom we paid $25 a month and gave her a room. The work has grown, until now we have thirteen secretaries. Our salaries average $14,000 a year. Our annual budget is now $47,000; last year it was $32,000. We feel quite sure that we can secure money for our budget. What we want of the white people is the benefit of their training. If white people will give us a chance, we will do the rest."
