Monster Meeting OF COLORED CITIZENS OF BALTIMORE. The colored citizens of Baltimore are so delighted with the passage of the West ordinance that they are said to have held a monster praise meeting in Druid Hill Park, there being no Hall or church large enough to hold the assembled multitude. A stand had been erected near one of the entrances to the park for the use of the speakers and invited guests. Hon. Harry S. Cummings presided over the great meeting and a choir of six or seven hundred male voices sang that touching Anthem—our glorious National Hymn "America" with magnificent effect. When the last verse had been sung it was noticed that there were tears in the eyes of dozens who stood immediately around the speakers stand and many others were sobbing and otherwise showing how keenly the stirring words of the ode touched them. Mr. Commings, the chairman, was visibly effected and was obliged to send a messenger to his house for another supply of 'kerchiefs and another vest. He had out the lining out of the one he was wearing to use in place of a handkerchief, as the three he had brought with him were soaked with saline tears. When the singing was over Chairman Cummings arose, his fat round face shone as if it had been varnished. He was choked with emotion, but he soon overcame his embarrassment, and he announced that the purpose of the meeting was to thank the Common Council of the City of Baltimore for its broad and statemanlike action in passing the West ordinance giving to the Negro citizen of Baltimore a larger taste of that liberty of which we had past sung. It was a beautiful exhibition of the broad catholic spirit of Catholic Maryland and it would go down in history as one of the most brilliant pieces of local legislation that ever adorned the pages of the local ordinances of the ancient city of Baltimore. The colored people were lost for language with which to properly express their gratitude and appreciation of this additional proof of the great interest felt in them by their white brothers. It is magnificent, if not Jackassical. The segregation of the races meant the elimination of the hybrid Negro—the product of the white man and the black woman. But said be the West ordinance does not go far enough. It should be amended and he trusted that his hearers would agree with him as to how it should be amended—namely—In the districts to be set apart exclusively for Negroes a twelve foot stone wall surrounding the entire district be erected at the expense of the city, and that said wall shall contain iron spikes 12 inches in length set into the wall 14 feet from the top, and that the top of said wall be filled with broken glass bottles, set in cement. The therem shall be twelve gates of entry to said district, with four watchmen each, two for day duty, and two for night duty, who shall be e Pi ALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE MARTINSBURG, W. required to exclude all insurance agents, book agents,installment house agents, peddlers, missionaries, salvation army officers, machine agents, fire engines, letter carriers and all kinds of white people with some things to sell, who have been fattening off of hard working Negroes for forty years; that said watchmen be given police power, which carries with it the right to arrest, maim or even kill any white person who persists in crossing the rubicon. If the whites can thus be kept away from the blacks their color at least will be safe. Otherwise he had his doubts. I have now the pleasure of introducing the introducer of the West ordinance. Look at him! there he stands! The introducer got up when he arose and when he spoke he opened his mouth and said: "My colored friends, when I was asked to speak at this meeting, I was almost tempted to decline, but on second thought, I accepted, because I have a message to deliver. It is this: The white people of Maryland are the friends of the Negro. They wish to see them do well. When they mix with the white people it is impossible to say when they do well,—what part of their success is due to contact with the white race or what part is due to the black race. If the black race has latent powers and capacities for well doing it should have all the credit for its well doing therefore when we by legal enactment give you liberty to conquer and be strong to quit yourselves like men we do you a greater service than some of you realize. White and black do not worship in the same churches in this city. You have your own clergy; we have ours. You can as Booker Washington has wisely said: "Be one as the hand, but separate as the fingers of the hand." It is impossible for two races differing so widely at many points as the white race and the black race to merge, they can never assimilate harmoniously. And why should black men desire to lose their identity in a race differing from their own? Have you no pride of ancestry? is there nothing in the black race worthy of emulation—no worthy ideals to set before your children? Why cannot the blacks in this country "be" as Mr. Washington has said "one as the hand and separate as the fingers of the hand" and thus show to other races that it has the self redeeming power which makes for racial uplift and development. My message to you in brief is this, my friends cease striving to secure outward conformity to the white race. Be Negroes, be loyal Negroes proud of your race, and work earnestly to command the respect and admiration of other races by doing noble and great things, and the noblest and greatest things you can now do is to raise it to that high standard of moral and intellectual excellence which it enjoyed when Greece and Rome sat at the feet of its black philosophers to drink in wisdom. I thank you. The audience grinned and then joined in singing. After which general discussion followed with the result that opinion was somewhat divided as to whether the West ordinance was a blessing or a coree. My own opinion is, that it is a boomerang. Bruce Grit. Yonkere, N. X. Bruce Grit. Comments And Criticisms. Many a New Year resolution has already been broken,so will not make any,but continue to "trust in God and do the right." Since Booker T's recent visit to Attorney General Wickersham, urging the appointment of Wm. H. Lewis, and Speaker Cannon's, in opposition, we have heard nothing of it. What is the cause of Taft's action? We saw in a leading journal the other day where an Editor has described Taft as a "mush head" who could never be elected to any office by his vote, and we voice that sentiment—especially if his election depended upon our vote. Thomas Edison, the famous inventor and genius says: The only religion needed in this world is the golden rule. If every one practiced it there would be no more trouble, or poverty, or unhappiness. I would have it enforced by policemen." Rev. Mr. Aked may call Edison an atheist or whatever he chooses but, we'd take Edison's chances, in the heretofter to that of the pious Rev. Mr. Aked and all of his ilk who are ready to condemn a man for expressing views contrary to theirs. * * Never in the history of our lives, have we read of so many highwaymen holding up trains and robbing hundreds of passengers. Just the other day a lone bandit held up a train near Kansas City and went from coach to coach robbing everybody as he went, and now comes the report that two highwaymen out in Utah held up a train and went from coach to coach robbing hundreds of passengers. In our mind these passengers surely do not show much bravery or much presence of mind, for we can understand how one man can hold up another, but we can't possibly see how one man can start at the engine and go from coach to coach robbing passengers without being stopped by those he has robbed or by those he is approaching—surely this lone bandit can't watch the eye of more than the one he is robbing and while his eye is on that one, some other person or persons could shoot him down. If these holdups continue, it would be advisable for the railroads to have the trains guarded with heavily armed men. In the Utah holdup one Negro porter [was killed and another seriously wounded, and the sad part of it is, these porters were without means of defense, owing to the Pullman's rigid regulations against employees carrying concealed weapons. One Julius Rosenwald, proprietor of a big commercial house in Chicago, has offered $25,000 to every city in the U. S., which will raise $75,000 for a Y. M. C. A. Building for Negroce, and we appreciate his disposition toward the Negro but why not offer $25,000 to every city in the U. S. which will open its Y. M. C. A. door to their brother in black? The proposition is a good one but would be much better if it carried the Christian spirit with it. We have no faith in any Y. M. C. A. which will not admit a respectable, intelligent young man of color, and we don't believe that God, in his goodness, approves of such devilish prejudices under the guise of a christian fraternity. We know a young colored man, who is an exemplary christian citizen of a certain community and is liked by all who know him, and yet, the door of the Y. M. C. A. is closed against him. It hasn't been very long since we saw a Y. M. C. A. Manager who was trying to increase his membership and while encouraging some white boys to join, (who refused), this same Negro boy volunteered and planked down his ten dollars as an entrance fee, but was rejected, solely on account of his color. We pled for the young man to be allowed to enter, but our pleading was in vain, so we have decided that instead of calling that a Young Men's Christian Association, it had better be called a Young Men's Hellish Association. Ex-Senator Wm. A. Clark, of Montana, has built a mansion on Fifth Avenue, in New York City, which cost seven million dollars, and is without doubt, the costliest private home in the world. The taxes assessed on it by N. Y. City amount to more than two hundred and fifty dollars per day. The mansion contains one hundred and twenty-one rooms, thirty-one baths, four picture galleries and more. Bronze worked into it than any other building in the world. There are two million dollars worth of pictures, five hundred thousand dollars worth of rugs and one of the largest pipe organs in the world, at a cost of three hundred thousand dollars. When we think of the above being true and read daily of the hundreds of orphans, and widows, crippled and blind paupers who are in destitute circumstances, our mind reverts to the passage of scripture which reads; "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven;" \*\* We had the pleasure of taking a forty mile trip in an automobile with a millionaire recently and something happened during the trip which we think is worth publication, with the hope that it may enlighten and encourage more Negroes to be manly when it comes to their rights as citizens: We were going at about thirty miles an hour when we came upon a white man, driving a team, who was inclined to want all of the road and when he did pull to one side, was very indignant about it. Nothing much was said to him, but on a little farther we ran upon a colored man driving a heavily loaded wagon. When he saw us he pulled to the right and gave us plenty of road to pass, but the rich man mistook his civil actions for obsequiousness and because he was a Negro, slowed up the car and attempted to bluff him by saying: "Get out of the road, you black rascal before I run over you." No quicker had he said it than the Negro jumped from his wagon and said something which was not understood. The rich man had the chauffeur stop the machine, exclaiming: "Watch me scare him to death." He thundered out "What did you say?" "That is just what I want to know from you, air," came the reply from the Negro. "Well, don't give me any of your impudence or I'll get (Continued On Second Page.) VOL. 29. NO.46 Anecdotal Literature BY W. G. WHERE IT IS THE HOTTEST. Except the region of his Satanio majest, we learn from Physical Geography that the hottest place is that along the Persian Gulf. Little or no rain falls there, and the scorching sun which beats down from early morning to late in the evening, makes living there almost a torture, next to Dives who in vain begged Abraham to send Lazarus "to dip the tip of his finger in water to cool his parched toque." At Bahrem the arid shore has no water, and the people living there have a novel way of obtaining drinking water. At the bottom of the sea near the shore are many fresh springs. The water is got by diving. The diver winds a large goat skin bag around his left arm, the hand keeping the mouth of the bag closed. Then he takes in his right hand a heavy stone, to which is fastened a long rope. Thus equipped, he plunges in, and sinking to the bottom, fills the bag with fresh water. He then releases his hold on the stone, and returns to the surface. The stone is hauled up again by the rope, and after the water has settled again, he dives and fills another bag. The source of the springs is supposed to be the hills of Osman, which are several hundred miles away. ** WAITING THEIR TURN. "Poor tramps!" ejaculated the sympathetic farmer as he fished out his leather purse. "Here is a dime for each of you to get a shave." "We are not tramps," cried the unshaven group with much idignation. "Well then, what are you doing with that week's growth of beard on your face." "We are summer boarders, Sir, waiting our turn to get a whack at the barber shop. There is only one up at our boarding house." Senator La Follette said, in reference to a dishonest financial operation: "It almost seems as if there is a class of men in this country whose motto is: "To climb high, use low methods." Jacob H. Schiff, at a dinner, condemned a concern that had gone up. "Straight business methods are the only ones" he said, "There is a moral in the receiver story." "A man, you know, said one day to a little boy; "Well Tommy, what are you going to be when you grow up?" "A receiver, Sir," Tommy answered promptly. Ever since pa has been a receiver, we've had champagne for dinner, and two automobiles." Albert,—"How can I win you for my very own?" Nannie,—"You fellows might get up a raffle, I am engaged to seven of you." ing for white. Under such conditions, how can men sworn to be just in rendering decisions, decide that one-eighth of Negro blood deprives a child from going to school with what is called white children, as was done in Washington, D. C., and that one-thirtieth of Negro blood in a certain section of Maryland makes a child a Negro, and unfits it to go to school with the pale face. God says: "Of one blood all nations were made." But why discuss it further for if they sold their own flesh and blood on the slave-auction block, what respect for it could they have on the lines of liberty and manhood? All in all, what a fearfully black hereafter awaits this nation, for one hundred years hence, Africa, India and Japan will be wide awake, and united. How much better it would be for the peoples of the three sections of the world above named a hundred years hence, to look to America, as did the wise men to Jerusalem, when the Savior of men came and meet the Americans hereon and have an international jubilee over the Christ like way they enlightened them? There was a time fresh in the memory of some living, when for the want of better and faster locomotion, a loving father rode behind a hearse conveying the body of his dead daughter from Washington, D.C., to Lexington, Va. So sincere was his devotion for his child, dead or alive, he never recovered from a sight he saw on that long sad trip—the jostling of the hearse caused blood to ooze and drop from her dead body. How different now when our distinguished men's loved ones die at Washington. They flash it over the world like lightning and cross the continent in palace cars in less time than it took Governor McDowell to take his daughter to Lexington, Va. The first contrast, therefore, is the marvellous improvements that have been made—then there were no railroads in America, now they are the network of this country. But Oh God! the other contrast. Governor McDowell was a great and a good man. True, he owned slaves, but he loved them and they all loved him. No slave was whipped on his plantation and the culture of manliness and womanly virtue among them was his constant contention, and to that end, the slaves and the master bowed daily in prayer in the manor-house, and there is not to be found a living colored person who belonged to Governor McDowell, but reveres his memory. Then in Lexington, Va., there was a colored professor who taught the whites; a colored man was treasurer in the white peoples church, and a Negro preacher had so ingratiated himself, he was hauled from place to place sometimes a distance of 40 and 50 miles to preach. He so aroused the people of that section that on one occasion, after preaching, the stand was covered with money to the amount of many hundred dollars and be advised to and did go to enlighten and christianize those in Liberia. Then the black mother generally had a beautiful picture on her bosom often and on from the getting up to the going to bed, It was two colors of babes, tugging at her breast, and she fondled, loved, cared for and cooed alike to both. The masters and the mistresses and their children always had colored persons to travel with them wherever they went and ate with their children at the best hotels. Today, although declared free men and women by the Constitution of the United States, the respectable, progressive, educated and refined Negroes are microwed, disfranchised, segregated by law in Maryland and Alabama; denied jury rights and justice nine times in ten in court AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THIS WORAL, RELIGIOUS AND FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF HUMAN IT. 1 year.....$1,50: 6 months.....75c. 3 months.....c Pay for all advertisements is due in advance unless advertising is run by yearly contract, in which case the advertiser pays every three months.

How much better to have been united in West Virginia before and on the day of election. Martinsburg's recent poultry show was great and had some fine fowls, but if we are capable of judging, the finest chickens taken there, were those of Mr. A. M. Gilbert. Not only were they the finest looking, but the heaviest, the healthiest, and the best layers. His rooster that some declared would weigh four lbs, weighed 7 pounds and one ounce. It will pay any one to call at Mr. Gilbert's home to see his stock and get pointers on chicken culture. Why the democrate will go to Charleston and play baby acts, is a mystery to us. The commonest political laymen can easily see that all the Senate has, may or can do under the situation will be illegal. Being through the aid of the best republicans in this state that you got in power, it would have helped you wonderfully to have offered them more than you asked. As it is, you are injuring your own cause, and re-uniting the republican party. Naturally an inferior operatic critic—for smalls souls are caste lovers takes it upon himself through the Washington, D.C., Post to try to injure Bert Williams, leading man in the "Follies of 1910," whose shoe latches he is unworthy to loose. He admits he is a wonderful character in his line, possibly unexcelled in the world, but thinks it is terrible for Williams to play with a white troup, and be presented to cultured audiences. Our opinion is that superiority professionally and refinement are the embodiment of culture, and the fact that Bert Williams is paid eleven hundred dollars a week is pretty good evidence that he is worth it. What a laughing stock this critic would be were he pitted for worth and ability against black men like Sinclair, Kelly Miller, Ira Aldridge, were he living, Dr. Blyden, Benjamin Tanner, S. Coleridge Taylor, Archibald Grimke, J. W. Cromwell, George W. Cook and a million others. Color has not and never will be the world's yard etick in measuring men, but cultured mentality is. Exhumation and the steady and solid progress the Negro race is making, the time is not far off when justice reigns, that the living whites will be ashamed of their history and wish for the Negroes. The most singular thing to us is the pale faced—not white—Americans hate their own blood which of their own accord and liking they placed. The black women were not responsible for giving births to millions of mulattoes. Indeed Ben. Tillman said in that South Carolina Constitutional Convention, that three fourths of the best white people of South Carolina had Negro blood in their veins. We know many colored men taken for white, who have white wives and plenty of colored-white women who have white husbands. There are fully a million men whose mothers were Negroes, that are pass- Two Contrasts. and five thousand have been murdered without trial or jury. Be assured "your sins will find you out." What a shame on a country that is spending thousands to educate heatbene, and boasts of the highest civilization, sweetened by the best of Christianity. A New Religion For The Negro. The mode of prayer needs pruning. To be flowery and vociferous, in prayer, are two of their leading elements, forgetting that God's decree is to do it in your closets. God's nature through ours is best reached by simplicity. A thought, a desire, a sight, a glance, a word actuated by sincerity to labor is a prayer sure to be answered by God. What sense is there in begging God to help us and to have mercy on us? About as much as there would have been to have begged Charles Sumner, John Brown, Harriet Beecher Stowe, William Lloyd Garrison or Lovejoy to have helped free the slaves. Such rot would have disgusted them, for two of them died for freedom and two others faced death for it. Your prayers could not have made them more loyal to your cause because their cup of love for you was full and flowing over for your bodily freedom as God's is a thousand times more for the freedom and constant growth of your souls. Fred Douglass said he prayed and prayed and prayed for freedom, but he never got it till he made his feet pray, and you may pray in your way, praise God and shout till you are old and gray as badgers and obtain nothing unless you work and do well your whole duty. God made the land and He made man—the latter to till it, the former to produce. Suppose you buy a farm and all you do is to go on it and pray day and night giving God thanks for having made it, what will you get from the soil? Nothing! You must work it to get the results for which it was made. What is true of your praise and prayers for the soil God made without working it, is equally true of your foolish praise of him for making you. He means for you to work. He tells you to go cut into the hedges and highways and compel them to come in. He also tells you the harvest is ripe. Why not go out and cut it instead of cutting the throats of your brothers? Why don't you cut and garner the ripened grain? It means to try to save those walking closer and closer to the dangerous and deadly pitfalls of life, and it also means to plow, plant and cultivate the soil, cut and garner the products. Some may say the seed of the righteous shall not beg bread, and that is true, from the fact a man can't be righteous without being industrious, for when Jesus in his prayer says—Give us this day our daily bread—He means the will and honor to work for it. Sumner Centenary. The American Negro Academy's commemoration of Charles Sumner's centennial, was not excelled any where on earth. The Hon. A. H. Grimke's oration for depth and force of thought, beauty and power of language which carried his elite audience spell-bound through all ages of great men's careers down to Sumner's, was charged and surcharged with oratorical pathos which roes and fell like the peaceful waves of the sea, baptising all with a halo of glory. When Judge Wendell Phillips Stafford closed his speech, so much like the son of God's on many occasions every one wanted to touch the hem of his garment. What a resource to have amid the calamities of life such a judge, scholar, orator and son of God, whose chief ambition is to look like and be like the Father above. Prof. Kelley Miller, deeply carved in ebony had his think tank full of solid facts, and knew how to drive them into the hearts and souls of his hearers. He is a brain giant—a veritable King David on the argumentative field of battle with the caste-curred Goliaths. When he told of Charles Sumner walking up the isle of the 15th St., Presbyterian Church, (where the Sumner contemnial was held) leaning on the arm of Fred. Douglass, it seemed for a few seconds that an angelic photographer flashed the scene on the wall and the audience was caught up into the third heaven. His picture should hang on the wall of every Negro home in America. Ex-Senator Chandler's speech had the old Sumner, Garrison, John Brown and Douglas tenor to it. He stood with them in those bloody days for freedom, and old as he is, he declared he would do it again. KILL MORE THAN WILD BEASTS. The number of people killed yearly by wild beasts don't approach the vast number killed by disease germs. No life is safe from their attacks. They're in air, water dust, even food. But grand protection is afforded by Electric Bitters, which destroy and expel these deadly disease germs from the system. That's why chills, fever and jague, all malarial and many blood diseases yield promptly to this wonderful blood purifier. Try them, and enjoy the glorious health and new strength they'll give you.

The rich man "rared and oburged," but the Negro stood like a lion and defied him to get out. After seeing that the rich man was only a hot air producer, the Negro called him a cowardly cur, prefixed with two emphatic adjectives, and told him he had a "great notion to get into the car and land on you once any way." At this juncture, the argument ceased, the chauffeur opened the throttle and the car moved rapidly onward. The rich man who had been very talkative, prior to the episode, remained as quiet as a mouse, and when questioned as to his quietness said; "I was just thinking what a brave Negro that was! Why I have bluffed hundreds of Negroes and made them believe I would eat them alive, but I guess they are getting more manhood and as long as I live I'll never try to bluff another one."

Review of Reviews Company 13 Aster Place New York "ASWESEEIT." Is the Title of a Book whose author is Robert L. Waring, Esq., 609 F. Street Northwest Washington, D. C. It is excellent, and is destined to do incalculable good. In fiction it gets at facts as they exist, and outlines the real bulk of the causes of the trouble and friction between the two races. It is bound to be read the world over and will serve well its purpose. It took a strong mind and a fertile brain to plan and write this book which Henry Watterson, the greatest editor says is phenomenal, and will be read by as many white as colored people—just as it should be, for the real and proper settlement of the so-called problem, is interdependent—one upon the other. It is written in a time as ripe to make it almost as popular as did the period that immortalized Uncle Tom's Cabin. Get the book and read it. It only costs $1.60. Address the author as given above.
