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." —[———————S—SS + < The Pioneer Press AN INDEPENDEST WKREKLY NEWSPAPER IBVOTEDTO THs MORAL, RELIGIOUS AND FINANCIAL VAVSLOPMANT OF HUMAD- E2k Rates of Bubscription: © JOULersesccseerssrecseneen seem $1505 H MOMs renee ssssssseeesncesneeene ECs 9 MOWDG eran serseseeserseeeeeerseen © Pay foral! advertisomeats is due in advance unless advertising is run by yearly contract, in which care the ad- Vertiser pays evsry three mocths, Adz-rtising Linch one tine The.
