Prof. Moore Give Us Advice Dear Editor:—I hope that I am not too optimistic, yet I feel safe in advising you that the time is almost at hand when the entire tide of racial feelings between the whites and blacks will take a decided change and the tendency will be for the better. But that will all depend upon the stand now taken by the blacks. You may have noticed during last year that I through the Richmond Planet, (of Richmond, Va.) said many peculiar things, some of which every one knew, others few could possibly understand, while there was much which I said hardly any of you could catch my meaning. However, you seemed to have caught the strain to some degree, and as I must say to a much greater degree than what I expected of you, and in this you all have done well. Now if you will only do with perfection some of the things which I have advised you, and stand firm as men, ever crying for liberty, the next 12 months will bring some mighty good news to the darker races, even in America. You know that I told you through the Planet that there would be as attempt at a wholesale torture or probably slaughter. Well, may I say that this began last year with that international conference in London, England. It has all gone so much better than was possible to calculate at that time, and let us thank our God for this. But now for the next six months or ten months, you may say that the race is being weighed in a balance to ascertain their integrity, and though you may not think it important, I say that the social iron is now hot. Therefore I say Strike! The battle will soon be on if it is not already. Now, this day, you must take your stand. Stand, only as Gideon did, and when a certain time has passed, you will find the dead and dying laid into the valley, and those who escape will hardly be able to stand on their feet. They will dry up as dew before a morning's sun. The son of righteousness has been challenged and he will sift them as a women sifts flour, until he finds his people. You may think, however, that I mean your coming political test, therefore I beg to assure you differently, and although this is a part of the plan, it is far from being the principal one. I say these things because I do not believe that any of you know from whence I speak, and I suggest that you editors, mark the way for the people, and advise them to stand only for what is right, even when they feel that the old ship is bound to sink. Yet I say Stand! You may be both tempted and threatened, but let nothing cause you to alter your course. Stand for your rights and those of the whole social world. Now is a very psychological moment in which much depends upon the interior feelings and manner of the man being tested. Society is on the progressive march and problems will confront the people in waves not heretofore dreamed of. Take no back water, then, but ever contest for the rights of men being given to men by men without respect to color, race or previous conditions of servitude. I cannot describe to you what I see and understand, but DALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE MARTINSBURG, I do say beware of the tempter and be strong at all times, and you do very well. I feel almost bold enough to give to America the final and most important advice. I feel like giving to all America a doctrine far greater than the Mource doctrine. Although you may never have thought this suggestion possible to your white brothers, I tell you it is time for honest men to declare to honest men that the salvation of the American people lies more in the amalgamation of the races now in America than in building great warships and receiving the degenerate immigrant classes from Europe. If America now takes this, my humble advice, she will be saved much embarrassment later on. The thing is union, with a spirit perfectly American, from point to point and side to side of the entire western hemisphere, and breed a unique race. This race will be wise, industrious and strong. We are now on the eve of a great change in more ways than I dare to even attempt to describe. You may be much surprised how some very wise, good and honest white people will accept this as a solution of the great problems which are certain to confront them very soon. Therefore social equality and amalgamation of the races now in America will be the safest and best solution to this great problem which shall soon confront us. As to whether or not your white brothers can see the wisdom in this, I tell you that it is this or worse. And there is every kind of encouragement on behalf of the Americans. The great political revolution of the world demands it, which we shall soon begin to learn. You will find that great men in America will be advocating this very cause within the next ten years. Many Americans would rather die than consent to it. But it is coming all right. Help John Mitchell, Jr., and stand for social economy. And do your best for the interest of your country and race and you will be glad. I. S. Moore. Babia, Brazil. FUNCTION OF A NEWSPAPER A solicitor for newspaper subscriptions made this remark of his personal experience the other day: "Some of the keenest critics the newspapers have met are people who rarely buy a home newspaper, at least, never patronize it regularly. They borrow it from friends, or steel glances at it in hotels, barber shops, or reading rooms. If there were no newspapers here, they would be the very first to deplore the lack of public spirit." The newspaper makes possible all kinds of private and public enterprise. If you want to get anything done, whether it be your children educated, your products sold, or your gospel preached, you have got to tell the people about it in some public way. No kind of organization is possible without public discussion. You can sell goods for more and buy them for less, through the exchange of information which the newspaper makes possible. A newspaper can perform these great services efficiently only when it is loyally supported by the public. The man who refuses to contribute his small share through a newspaper subscription is like one who has enjoyed a feast, but who dodges the contribution box.—Wweeling Intelligence. CIGARETTES ARE BAD FOR WOMEN CIGARETTES ARE BAD FOR WOMEN Mrs. Woodrow Wilson Has Decided Views on Subject. AN ERROR IN NAMES. Wife of Democratic Candidate Gives Out Letter Taking Strong Stand on Smoking Habit. New York.—For the first time since Woodrow Wilson became the Democratic presidential candidate has Mrs. Wilson appeared. She attended in person her husband's daily conference with reporters, although Heretofore she has made special requests that she be not quoted nor written about in the papers. What Mrs. Wilson wished to have fully understood was that if she becomes the first lady of the land she will not, as has been said in a widely distributed interview, have packages of cigarettes in her personal desk at the White House and laduige in smoking them with her callers. Through Governor Wilson, Mrs. Wilson asked that publicity be given to a letter she had written to the editor of the State Journal at Columbus, O., repudiating an alleged interview with her in which she defended cigarette smoking for women. The interview had come to her in a letter signed "American Citizen," which said: Dear Madam—I can seriously think of any greater calamity to the young women of the nation then to read such a preachment as your interview offers them. I am a workingman, and I see men lose their jobs almost every day because they are incapacitated for work by the use of the cigarette. If smoking does this for strong men what will it do for girls and women? The "interview" was induced a cordial endorsement of the woman smoker. Here are some of its assuring phrases, all credited to Mrs. Wilson: "A woman writer for a syndicate of Sunday newspapers asked Mrs. Woodrow Wilson if she agreed with Gertrude Atherton's opinion of the smoking of cigarettes by women. She softly exhibited three cigarette boxes piled in the corner of her desk, all but empty. "Why shouldn't a woman smoke if she enjoys it? she queried. "Why hasn't she just as much right to a cigarette as a man? Certainly I agree with Mrs. Atherton that any existing prejudice against women smoking is to the last silly and absurd. "Smoking cigarettes is a question of manners, not morals. It promotes good fellowship." "Some women feel that a cigarette causes their nerves and helps their brains into working order. Personally smoking diffuses my thoughts instead of concentrating them. I enjoy it as I enjoy after dinner coffee. Both are pleasant ways of ending and finishing off; both add to conviviality and good fellowship." The editor of the Ohio State Journal, it was clear, had been much incensed at the apologies for the cigarette habit among women attributed to Mrs. Wilson, so he wrote on Aug. 19 an editorial in which he called for the defeat of Governor Wilson on a repudiation from his wife. If there was no mistake about it, he wrote, "Mrs. Woodrow Wilson shouldn't be mistress of the White House." If the Ohio editor was emphatic Mrs. Wilson was certainly not less so. After the reporters had said they would gladly publish her letter to the Ohio editor she asked for an hour's time in which to write one. This was what she prepared: Iour Sir—I have just received a copy of the Journal with your editorial cuttled "Smoking Women," and I beg leave to indiscrimently deny the statement that I approve of women smoking cigarettes. The interview upon which your editorial was based is a pure invention. I intensely dislike the cigarette smoking habit for women—in fact, so strong is my feeling on the subject that my goal danger lies in being unjust and unkind in my judgment of those who differ with me in this respect. But certainly no women in our house. hold ever has' or ever will smoke. Quite apart from the bad taste of it, I believe with you that it has an extremely injurious effect on the nerves. FILLEN A. WILSON. (Mrs. Woodrow Wilson) Governor Wilson, in approving the letter sent out by Mrs. Wilson, offered what he thought might prove an explanation for the interview. "I do not think it was maliciously invented," he said. "There is a rather well known writer who signs herself: Mrs. Wilson Woodrow, and she no doubt has been confused with Mrs. Wilson." Mrs. Wilson Woodrow was formerly married to a relative of Governor Wilson, and it is understood that her vows on the matter of women who smoke are different from those held in the household of the Democratic candidate. THE NEGRO MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL CONFERENCE OF THE METRODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. 10.4 The function $f(x) = \sin(x)$ Mr. Editor:—I seem that the colored members of the recent General Conference of the M. E. Church held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, are criticised for the retention of the amusement paragraph in the Discipline. Their vote is termed a block vote in its favor. It comes to me that such criticism is unfair, unwise, and much more to be condemned than the block voting of the colored delegates on that question. Block voting is nothing new nor uncommon. It happens when men agree on a subject, or when otherwise influenced or they would have voted the other way. The above being so, we presume they exercised their freedom in voting according to their knowledge and the information the Conference could give them, and as we are due to act upon our own knowledge and all possible knowledge, and as these delegates did so, we fail to see the justness of the criticism. These colored delegates voted upon this question as they saw it affected their people. The white delegates did the same. Why then should they criticise others for doing the same they did? Had either white or colored members done otherwise there would have been just ground for criticism. If we do the correct thing we cannot please our white brother. If we do the wrong we cannot please him. It seems that we can only please him when we follow his dictations, whether they be right or wrong. Then he is O. K. whether ignorant or intelligent. If he is elected to Chicago as a Taft delegate and votes according to his election, then he is read out of the "Bull Moose" convention because of moral and mental qualities deficient to such a degree to render him unfit to be a member thereof. What would be the result had the colored members in the General Conference and the Chicago Convention voted to have pleased others, voted contrary to their knowledge, their instruction and their conscience? Would they have been criticised by Dr. Day and others, would they have been read out of the third party? Why not criticise the white members of the General Conference who voted to retain said paragraph, why not condemn the block voting at Chicago at both conventions, why not condemn the block voting at the Democratic Convention in Baltimore? The colored brother is inclined more and more to vote as he sees things because he sees that his white brother is fallible as well as he is. We see you in elavery, in rebellion, in reconstruction, in the greenback party, "in 16 to 1," in rum traffic. We have less confidence in you than we use to have, and we have more in ourselves, and more and more and more are we going to act upon our VOL. 31. NO.25 Anocdotal Literature BY W. G. A BEAUTIFUL FATHER. "Tell your mother you have been a very good boy today," said the teacher to two little scholars. "O" replied Tommy, "we haven't any mother." "Who takes care of you then," asked the teacher. "Father does. We've got a beautiful father; you ought to see him." "Who takes care of you, when he is at work?" "He takes all the care before he goes off in the morning, and after he comes back at night. He's a house-pointer, but there isn't any work this summer, so he's doing laboring. He have us a warm breakfast when he goes off, and we have bread and milk for dinner, and a good supper when he comes home. Then he tells us stories and plays on the fire, and cuts our beautiful things for us with his jacket." His children had no idea they were so poor, nor were they so with such a hero as this to fight their battles for them. He was a man of patience and submission to God's will. No wonder his children called him a beautiful father." Pat—"What is yer charge for a funeral notice in yer paper?" Editor—"Fifty cents per inch." Pat—"Ochem! an' me poor brother was six feet high!" * * Doctor—"The increasing deafness of your wife is merely an indication of advancing years, and you can tell her that." Husband—"Hunt! would you mind telling her that yourself doctor?" Dick—"I wonder why the English settlers came to name the town 'Bosson?'" Jack—"Probably because it began with B." "Dick—"What has that to do with it?" Jack—"Well, that's the beginning of 'Beans.'" A gentleman remarked: "A minister's boy ought to set a good example for other boys." When it comes to that, it goes without saying, that every boy, no matter in what station of life, should be so raised as to be a good example to others. Every boy should play fair, work hard, be prompt and obedient, and do his duty in boy fashion with a glad heart and a pleasant face. No more should be asked of one man's son than another. Every boy stands for himself, and must answer his name when called. Husband—'My dear, if you buy this elegant fur coat, how are we ever going to pay for it?' Wife—"Oh don't let us talk about two things at once! Let's talk about the coat." own responsibility and you might as well learn that and get use to it. Respectfully yours Sylvester H. Norwood.

SATURDAY, AUGUSF 24. 1912 Deep down in the heart of every thinking man turks the belief that the election of Theodore Roosevelt is an absolute certainty. Trotter heads his third editorial in last week's issue as follows: "The truth shall make you free." What can it do for you? Fear you'll be an eternal slave. --- The power of public sentiment is almost immeasurable, but some people are so dense that their vision to see things as they are in very much dimmed. The Pioneer Press prefers the retail sale of whiskey in Martinburg, to the legally permitted houses of prostitution, driven from where white people live to that section called "African." What twaddle! The idea of Negroes blaming Roosevelt for disfranchising a thirty-six year disfranchised class of Negroes. The party he has left did that and it is too cowardly to undo it. If it can't use him, how can Roosevelt? What harm is there in treating a sinner as a sinner? The Boston Guardian is authority for the statement that John Mitchell, Jr., the brilliant, brainy and able editor of the Richmond Plains, will support Woodrow Wilson for President. We cannot vouch for either the truth or falsity of the Guardian's "sooop." Dr. H. D. Hatfield, Republican candidate for governor, was in the city Tuesday, circulating among old friends and making new ones. The Dr. is a good mixer, knows the political game, and can be depended upon to wage a convasion for the governorship which will be surprising to his opponent. Hampton Institute, Hampton Va., has our thanks for several very interesting booklets. Like everything else emanating from Hampton, they make fine reading, and portray in a most attractive manner the great work which is being done by the above named institution and its able corps of workers for the Neuros. One of the best tests of Negro common sense is the stand they take between Taft and Roosevelt. Neither was our choice, Champ Clark was—but since he was robbed of what he was entitled to, as was Roosevelt in Chicago, and Mr. Wilson rejoicece over his keeping Negroes out of Princeton since he has been its president, it then becomes the duty to select a choice, and in doing that, it will pay to take the one with the most backbone, and if that is to be the standard, who is he?—Roosevelt. When one sees the picture in the Boston Guardian of Mingo Saundors, naturally he prejudges that he is looking on the picture of a man. Not so! He is ignorant, unreasonable, and boisterous as was old Jeff. He was one of, if not, the craziest Taft advocate we saw while in Chicago. Had he denounced both we would and could have respected him, but to advocate Taft who had him discharged, shows no manhood on his part. But as we thought, and have been told by an ardent Taft toady advocate, Mingo was promised restatement by Mr. Taft or his sentiments. He has had time, why not do it? He has been given a deputy job. --- When an allegation relative to a new issue is made, and one stick of type by politicians opposes it, think a little; when two sticks follow, increase your thought; when four or more sticks follow reincrease the thought; when columns follow it, conclude there is something tangible in the allegation, but when a book appears against it, swear that the allegation aims at an evil and support it. Let the Progressive party represent the allegation. The credit for the uncovering of the rascality and collusion that has existed between the New York police and the gambler of that city is and fully deserves to be Distributed Attorney Whitman's. Although bullied at every tora, his life threatened and he roundly abused, the district attorney kept doggedly at his work and the results he has achieved fully juxtify him in the brave stand which he has taken. The great editor of the Boston Guardian, jumps on Corrothers with all fours and branda him as a selling out traitor. It is kettle calling pot black, for Trotter got money from Corrothers in Washington, knowing how he got it, and wanted the National Independent Political League to empower Corrothers to get more the same way for the League. He showed us and J. M. Waldron the money Corrothers had gotten and given him. Instead of writing his name Trotter we suggest it be written, Traitor. The B. & O. R. R. Co., all along its distinguished lines improvements have been made in remodeling passenger stations. Cumberland, Keyser, Piedmont, Graften and other places are models in modern improvements. Test it and see if Martinsburg's section does not give the B. & O. five times as much traffic as any of the places above named. Then why in the face of it, will the B. & O. retain this old funky passenger station, with not one convenience; the filthiest closet to be found on its lines—even decent passengers curse it and stand out in the coid. It's a filthy disease breeder: our health officers ought to be indicted if they know it, and refuse to close it or warn the public of its danger. We can't for our life conceive how Negroes can espouse the cause of Mr. Taft. If they can see no good in Mr. Roosevelt and certain it is, if they have tried to see it and can't in T. R. heaven knows there is none to be seen in "Billy Poesom." What about the Prohibition candidate? He's pretty fair, and Eugene Debbe, the Socialistic candidate, has demonstrated his fondness for justice to the Negro. As we see it: a school boy born of good horse sense parents could flail the life out of a Taft advocate in favor of Roosevelt. We could pulverize them. If Trotter paid for those telegrams sent to Jane Addams, Miss Garrison, Mr. Churchman and the Mass., delegation, it was, ten to one, democratic money, and we'll bet a flip and a bit against that "coat" we are right. He is, as was his father before him, a democrat, and he admitted in Washington that he only played within republican ranks for a purpose. One thing, however, plainly shows itself and that is: there are only about three Negroes in Boston who will sign with Trotter viz Morris and loafer beggar Johnson, who has a bad court record. I: does not seem to us that any one will commit an unpardonable sin by falling in line with men like Judge Ben Lindsay and women like Jane Addams. God Almighty has a hidden hand in things as they are going on and the turn will come at the right time and angle. Trust God, and do right, is the duty of all. Had every Negro seen Judge Lindsay and Jane Addams with that noble army of theire, men and women, arise enmusee and leave the auditorium of the Congress Hotel when some white Southerners began to abuse the Negroes, they could not help rejoicing. They were left to themselves and that broke up the meeting. Theodore Roosevelt treated the Negroes all right in Chicago. He recognized Negro manhood, just what we must do. Had he denounced that, we would have denounced him. Precisely what was done, we have been advocating in the Pioneer Press for the past twenty five years—stopping the horde of Negroes coming from the South as delegates, and force on the people candidates the voting majority don't want, then go back home and can't cast a vote to elect them. Along with that wise act, we contend that the fifty odd Southern men who are in Congress by the suppression of Negro votes be silenced too. A lot is being said about typhoid fever. It is, in getting it, we believe, very much like consumption, in that if the tissues are weak at birth and later on the systems become depleted, a violent cold will develop into consumption, however, were others sound, like colds would not leave such results. So, also, if the systems of persons are out of order and worked down typhoid fever is liable to take root; otherwise, otherwise. It may come through water and milk, but close observation is convincing the world that not only is typhoid fever caused by filth, but flies, the output of filth, do more to cause and spread the disease than all the other causes combined. If Mr. Carnegie or some other rich man would spend a hundred thousand dollars yearly for ten years, to put in every home fly papers, a rigid law made and enforced to use them, it would astound the world how free from disease it would be, providing fleas and mosquitoes were fought as hard, for the three are the world's disease breeders. The able editor of the Richmond Planet—John Mitchell, Jr., is a far seeing man. Had he been in Chicago and attended the convention, seen and heard all that went on, he would feel and see some things differently: however, as he sees the door of hope closed(?) against the Southern Negroes(?) it has already begun to have good effect in the South, in that Negroes are turning over to the democrats, and they are receiving them. Bro. Mitchell be logical, and if your prophecy be correct, be like the old woman to whom bread was thrown down a chimney in answer to her prayer, and later learning some tough boys did it, said: "God sent it any how, and I thank him for it" That Southern Negro delegates have been purchasable, could honest John Sherman testify, our assertions would be backed up in heaven. In June last, dozens of Negro delegates(?) had been bought and they were walked with and watched over by Southern whites—a shameful disgrace. If they had not been bought why were they watched? The very fact that Banks gave back $800 00 of the Taft funds, is proof enough that others had it too. They are guilty—the buyers and the sellers and the day of elimination is at hand. Rev. J. A. Brown, of Washington, preached two very interesting and instructive sermons at Ebenezer Memorial Baptist Church during the recent anniversary exercises held in said edifice. He is a gentleman of pleasing appearance, impresses you as being an earnest worker, and is able to get and keep the attention of his hearers. We, like many other Martinsburgers, will always welcome Rev. Brown to our city, his first visit having been manually enjoyable. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has closed a contract with the Royd-house-Arey Company, of Philadelphia, for remodeling the passenger station at Piedmont, W. Va. The present station is a very substantial structure and it is proposed to rearrange it so as to add materially to the comfort and convenience of passengers. A general waiting room with modern toilets, women's retiring room and men's smoking room will be fitted up with all modern appliances in a very attractive manner and will give the citizens of Piedmont in effect an entirely new station. The cost of the improvement will be approximately $10,000, plans and specifications for which were prepared by M. A. Long, architect of the Baltimore and Ohio.

Citizenship Are Justly , _ Extofled — ; “DUHDUAR REAR UOAT SPLENDID IROWIMM MAREOGH A Glowing Tributc to a Manly Man By Ex-Governer Wir. A. Mase Corkle, Acting For His Sen- : atorial Colleagues. ie Mr. President, and Gentlemcn of tha Senate: In this wonderful country of eves there is one thing which surely bu tokens the eternity of cur institutions. Vhat {s, sir, amidst tho stronuvslty, of our political Mfe we can wuck cao au other in that personal contact whicd brings men together along the ses ct high personality, spleacid character and kindliness of fveling one to tho other. This characteristic of our gov. ernment ig the one great precominnat feature of Americaa life. ‘This marks the difference between the democrs- cles, the old trea yoveruments of Rome, Athens and Italy, and tho ro publican government of our country. This characteristic which allows us, amidst the conilict of political irs, avudst the absalute contrariety of opinion, to sce in our opponents high character, pure patriotism and kindly personal traits is the great geature which will preserve this republican government as the chiefest and best heritage which has over fallen to man. It is pleasant, sir, to understand that amidst the marvels and wonders of earth aud mountein, grander and more splendid than cur wealth of vulley, higher and better than all of the wealth which flows from the bosom of our stite, there is something su- perfor to all, and that is, the high and splendid charactor of our citizenship. I repeat, sir, it is absclutely essential to the preservation of republican ine stitutions. ‘The great governments of other days have looked too oftea to the concreto idea of great wealth and the maguiti- cence of material power. The Amer- ican government ia founded upon the one supreme ideal, tho character of Its manhood. It is a great, a splendid manhood. It is a more essential olo- ment in the preservation of froe gov- ernment than all the woalth of Gol- conda, el! tho oll which flows from tho bosom of our rich state, and all the diamonds which glisten on the Airfcun meuntaina or Brezillan valleys. Oth. er governments haye founded their life upon the elemonts of material wealth. The hopo and ie of the American government ks upon the splendor of its individual manhoed. It vives me pleasure, sir, dumocrat es Iam, to spenik these words to ycu, the leader of the opposition {n this senate. These words come not from the lps, and I belfeve that reprosony Ing my perty associates on this Door, they coma froni our hearts. Tf you will allow me a little tonch of tho personal cloment, I with to pay that being chosen by my aszoc!stes to eddress you te-day brings more than ordinary pleaeure to mo. I was your fathor’s friend for a quarter of a cem tury, and in the olden days whon 1 rode the cirewit be called me “Mac” and I celled him “Kilas,” and tf to-day my old friend was hero and couid wit+ ness this testimonial to the courage and character, the splendid manhood of his son, the tears of pride would course down his cheeks, and bis old heart would threb with consclous pride that his son has arisen to the position where the words of encomium of his fellow members in the highest legivia- tive body of his state could be so truthfully spoken. Surely, were he here he would be touched with the Rewarc'a Man Who Rescued Children, By his keen foresicht in stopping a team of frightencd horses in Philadel phia recently Shedwick Waters, Jr. of Paschnll, Pa. saved the Ives of more than half a dozen children. As & token of gratitude for his services Mr. Waters was awarded the sui of £5 and a vote of thanks by thoso inter: ested in the welfare of the children. Larger Benefits For Sons of Virginia.
