THE PITTSBURGH COURIER VOL. II. NO. 40. But Further Discussion of the Moral Civil, Spiritual and Sociological Condition of the Race Is Needed For Practical Uplift, Which Can Best Be Done Through Religious Channels. By GEORGE E. KING. Durham, N. C.-Hundreds of colored people in touch with the masses of the race attended the recent summer school and. Chautauqua of the National Religious Training school this city. This is the only movement of its kind among, Negroes, and its officials are men of both races from various sections of the country. The spirit of the Chautauqua was for the uplift of the Negroes who were envisioned to their detriment. The lectures and the other departments, featuring such well known preachers, as Dr Jesse C. Massee of Chattanooga, Tenn.; Dr. W. M. Chagman of Newark, N. J.; Dr. Jesse L. Hurlburt, one of the leading authorities in America on the Bible; Bishop Kilgo, Durham; Professor Kelly Miller, Washington, Dr. Jesse Johnson, Xenia, O., and Dr. D. Webster Davis. Richmond, kindled the minds and hearts of hundreds of the race, who received a new educational value and experienced a newness that gave them a determination to dwell amid the most monotonous surroundings to triumph over certain conditions making a large number of their race parasites upon society. Settlement work is a new feature among the educational activities of the Afro-American folk, and this institution is the pioneer in such a needed work for the Negro's good. The teachers and preachers were given lectures on sanitary chemistry, and during the six weeks of the summer school and Chantauquar excursions were made to various sections of the city that afforded the members of the settlement party an opportunity to do real settlement work among their people. The good accomplished by such excursions will undoubtedly become a potent factor in a large number of cities, towns and a large section of the rural districts, in the south especially. The Negro that helps to make up the undesirable element in the north and gives that section a phase of the problem found in the south was discussed, and the outcome of such discussions and investigations on the part of student body directed by the president of the institution and a number of prominent northern and southern men of both races has caused greater activity among those attending the school to better the sociological conditions of their race in their respective communities and made it imperative for the following call signed by Dr. James E. Shepard, founder and president of the school: To the ministers of the United States: At the request of many who are interested in the development of the race along all lines I have been asked to call a conference of the colored ministers of the United States at the National Religious Training school, in the city of Durham N. G. July 6, 1912. This conference is for the purpose of discussing the moral, civil and spiritual condition of the Negro. to study sociological problems and to devise some means of working along practical lines for the uplift, of the race, especially through religious channels. We realize that the colored minister is the real leader of his people and that, there should be co-operation between him and all others who are striving for the racial uplift. We believe that the colored minister holds the real key to the situation, and for this reason we desire to have a heart to heart conference of all the ministers, irrespective of denominations. Such practical questions as these will be discussed: What is the moral condition of the people in your community? What is the sanitary condition? What effort, if any, has been made to improve the sanitary conditions? Is crime on the increase? If not, what was the cause of its reduction? To most extent do you co-operate with the civic Improvement league? Has equipment work to any extent been connected in your community and, if so, with what results? Many kindred objects will be discussed. The National Religious Training school invites all ministers to be their guests for one week, so that you will be at no expense while in the city of Durham. The railroad will be asked to cooperate in this movement to the extent of making very liberal rates. Durham is regarded as one of the most progressive cities in the country, and it will be pleasure and a benefit for you to come and see what your own race is actually doing in Durham. "All ministers who contemplate attending this conference are requested to make same known by Jan. 1, 1912, so that arrangements can be made for their accommodation. We will also be glad to have any practical suggestions that you may see fit to make, and they will be carefully considered." The regular school term begins next month with a higher standard and a faculty composed of well known pedagogues from leading institutions of learning. Brief Sketch of Career and Work of Major R. R. Wright, Who Coined the Phrase "Tell Them We Are Rising." His Success as Educator and Business Man. By CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. Macon, Ga.-The Georgia State college, located at Savannah, of which Major R. E. Wright is president, is doing effective work for the moral and educational uplift of the young colored men and women of the south. The school, which is a branch of the University of Georgia, has an industrial, normal and collegiate course which compares favorably in curriculum with the best schools of the south. The Georgia State college, located as it is in the heart of the black belt region of the state, is a center of influence in the community. It is situated on a splendid campus, with a property valuation of $150,000 and fifteen well equipped buildings. The graduates who have come from the school have made their mark in the world of education and occupy prominent positions in national affairs. Among the successful graduates of the Georgia State college are Professor L. P. Thompson, superintendent of industries at the school; Professor W. H. A. Howard of Tallahassee college; Professor W. M. Nelson of the A. and M. collegiate Greensboro; Professor R. R. Wright, Jr. who has made a high reputation as a sociologist and journalist; Professor N. W. Collier, principal of the Florida Baptist college, and Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds in Washington. The faculty of the college is composed of well known colored educators, who are specialists in their lines and represent such well known institutions as the University of Chicago, Lincoln and Atlanta universities. The success of the school is due in a large measure MAJOR R. R. WRIGHT. to the energy and renown of its president, Major R. R. Wright, who enjoys a national reputation as an educator. He has been president of the school for twenty years, during which time over 5,000 students have been in attendance. He is a graduate of Atlanta university and was a member of the famous class of 1876. He studied at Harvard and Chicago universities. Major Wright has traveled abroad extensively and while abroad studied at Leipzig university. He has been more or less prominent in national air fairs and was paymaster in the United States army under President McKinley's administration. It was President Wright who forty years ago sent the following message to the north: "Tell them we are rising." Major Wright is also president of the Georgia state industrial fair, which is to be held in Macon from Nov. 8 to 18, inclusive. These state industrial fairs have become an interesting part of the public life of the people of the south and are looked forward to with much delight by the farmers and other citizens. Speaking of the effective work of the Georgia industrial fair, President Wright makes the following statement: "The chief object of these state fairs is to encourage helpful and honorable rivalry among the farmers of the state. The fairs have been going on for the last six years and have spent in the furtherance of their work about $100,000. We give employment annually to from eighty-five to a hundred people. A feature of these fairs has been the exhibits which have become the marvel of the colored and white citizens of the state. "We hope to have a colored aviator at the fair this year, who will give a three days' exhibition." Colored Army Officer Retired. Washington.-Major John R. Lynch, ranking colored officer in the United States army, has been retired. He is sixty-four years old and is transferred automatically to the retired list. He was appointed a paymaster in the volunteer army by President McKinley in the Spanish-American war. His record is flawless. He represented Mississippi in congress during three terms.

Morris Greatest Financial Success in the History of National Body. $1,072.23 Raised. Pittsburgh is Thanked. Dr. Du Bois and Mayor Wm. A. Magee Speak. Miss Nannie Burroughs Given Ovation. NEXT SESSION WILL BE IN HOUSTON, TEXAS "FOR GOD'S SAKE, FIGHT," SAYS GREATEST COLORED SCHOLAR. Address of Dr. Dubois: "We often hear the present situation of the colored people spoken of as a battle, and it is in that sense that I am going to speak. We might say that the center of our army represents our effort toward political rights; the right wing, the effort to ward civil rights, the left wing to ward economic rights or the right to work. We ask in the case of the battle, three questions: Is the battle going against us? Are we beaten? And what is the condition of the enemy? If we consider our political rights, there is no doubt but that the battle is strongly against us. Disfranchisement is planted in the South for a long time and there is little disposition in the North to undo the work. At the same time, we must not for a moment forget that the battle is by no means lost; more Negroes are casting the ballot today freely than ever before in the history of the United States. Their political power in the north directly and indirectly in the South is still enormous. No political candidate dare altogether to empower the Northern Negro vote, and support the Northern states an talk about nothing else; so we can求 it although the battle is against us here, it is a long way from lost. So it is with civil rights. The Nego is discriminated against in civil life and in the administration of justice to an extent that is appalling. At the same time, his civil rights are becoming so bound up with the preservation of justice and democracy throughout the United States that more and more a class of people who care nothing for the colored people are realizing that discrimination must stop or free government is doomed, so that even in the battle for civil rights, we are not yet beaten. "When it comes now to economic rights; the right to work, far from being beaten, we are advertising slowly; it would be too much to say we are winning the fight, but undoubtedly, we are working more effectively and gatting a greater return for the work than ever before in the history of any Negro group of the world. These, then, are the facts. How shall we interpret them? Some give up all hope because we are losing in politics and civil rights and not gaining fast enough in the right to work. Other people are unduly hopeful because we are making money and have not yet all been lynched. As a matter of fact, the proper attitude is to lose, no time with either of the aspects but to ask the practical question: what shall we do? When a man is losing in battle, he may keep fighting or he may retreat, but if he retreat, he must have some place to retreat to, and if he has no place to retreat, he must keep fighting or surrender. In addition, this he finds that while losing, he is not being beaten, and that indeed he is not losing in all directions, then it would be foolish to give up. His only business is to keep fighting. In our case there is no use to think of retreat; he would simply be in the case of Liberia and Hayt; there is no chance for the small new nation today. If we keep fighting, then we must base our hope on the weakening of the enemy and for a chance of allies. The white-world, in its fight against the darker people is weakening because of its own great internal labor questions. On the other hand, there is a chance of help from the darker peoples of the world if we show that we are capable of striving with them effectively for human freedom if we give up and surrender, nobody will want us for allies. The only conclusion, then, for black men today in America to come to, is to keep fighting. And for God's sake, fight." MAYOR EXTENDS HAND OF GOOD FELLOWSHIP Mayor Magge made an interesting address during the fourth day's session of the National Baptist convention. The mayor, accompanied by Assistant City Solicitor William Randolph, entered the convention hall while the delegates were in the midst of a heated discussion. The business was at once dropped and the mayor was escorted to the Earman N. Burleigh.....Sheridan, Pa. Matlie B. Williams.....Carnegie, Pa. Henry D. Jones.....Donora, Pa. Maud Hawkins.....Donora, Pa. William F. Self.....Pittsburgh Florence I. Blake.....Homestead, Pa. ploform. There he was introduced to President E. C. Morris and Vice president E. Parks, the latter intro- mitted much to the convention. The mayor said: "I am a lilite sorry that I entered the convention hall at the time I did. You were in the midst of a heated discussion. If I had not been told that this was a religious convention, I would have thought that it, was a political convention, and you will pardon me when I say, a Democratic convention at that. "This kind of a contest never does any harm. I believe it shows great interest in your work. It indicates enthusiasm and nothing great is ever accomplished without enthusiasm. We are told enthusiasm comes from the heart. "No matter what may be, told you by myself, this is one of the greatest religious cities of the country and if you are here tomorrow, you will see for yourselves. We invite you to visit our places of interest. We are always glad to have a crowd like this come into our city. "This is called the Smoky City, because it is the great industrial workshop of the United States. You have had very rainy days but here you have never seen with them in any other place, but this afternoon is a sample of what I hope you will have for the rest of your stay here, beautiful weather. "In the name of the citizens, I bid you welcome to our city." you welcome to our address. Major Magee concluded his address by a special invitation, to the delegates to visit the public parks and buildings. There were many 'amens' at points in the speech. Sunday's crowds were large all day, and in the evening the largest gathering of colored people that ever met in this city was present, some fifteen thousand in number. The immense auditorium was filled to overflowing and an outdoor meeting was necessary. Pittsburghers were certainly impressed by the brilliant array of speakers that the National Baptist convention can boast of, and here it may be said that the conduct of the immense crowds of both home people and visitors was absolutely beyond criticism, not a single arrest having occurred anywhere or at any time. MISS BURROUGHS RECEIVES OVATION. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, of Washington, D. C. president of the national Training School for girls, and corresponding secretary of the Women's Auxiliary convention, reported to the national convention, turning over the money from the women to the convention, for its expenses and missionary work. She was given an ovation. Miss Burroughs' exhibit of the work done by girls in her school was a splendid one and was sold at a great profit for the benefit of the work. "TEACH BOYS. AND GIRLS TO SPEAK THE TRUTH; MEN MUST VOTE WISELY." SAYS DR. E. C. MORRIS IN CLOSING ADDRESS. "Teach the Negro boys and girls to be truthful, and this will help them utp the hill, for the world hates a liar." declared Dr. E. C. Morris, at the opening of the National Baptist convention this morning at Luna Park, "and if we failed to do our duty it is dark for our race. "We have made wonderful progress already, yet it is nothing to do we will make if we train our children right. The boys and girls of today will be the men and women to tomorrow, and now the question will arise how well have we trained them, and what will they do for the Negro race in the future. "I have heard it said by some of our leaders that, we made a mistake who says it is the one who made the mistake. "The men in this part of the country who have a ballot use it, and use it wisely, to help their people. Be in every election and vote for good men. Any man who would still be among brutes, and not among men. "This is our closing day, and there are many things to be done. I wish to thank the good people of Pittsburgh for the courtesies extended to the convention. This is a great city, and an inspiration to any individual who wants to be something in life." Curtis S.

Pittsburgh Civic Interests Association of Cleveland Working Hard For Him. Cleveland.-The Citizens' Association of Civic Interests has been organized by negro voters, primarily to secure the nomination of Harry C. Smith as a delegate to the constitutional convention. Smith was named on the slate of the Cuyahoga codity conference of the convention, but that slate was sponged at its last meeting. The nomination will now come from his own race. The new association plans to hold meetings in various parts of the city and advance Smith's candidacy. A committee consisting of James R. Snyder, Benjamin Douglas and Charles S. Sutton has been appointed to assist Smith in taking out nomination papers and to arrange for booming his campaign. FLEMING RENOMINATED Cleveland's Leading Negro Lawyer Will Again Be Councilman at Large. Cleveland, G.-At the Republican primaries Thomas W. Fleming, who is now a member of the city council, serving as one of the councilmen at large, was again nominated from a field of seventeen candidates as one of six councilmen at large upon the Republican ticket. This is the third successive time the Republicans of Cleveland have nominated Mr. Fleming for councilman at large, which is a distinct honor. He is the first colored man to serve as a member of the city council of Cleveland, being nominated and elected two years ago, and he is the only one to serve as councilman at large in the state of Ohio. Mr. Fleming has been prominent in Ohio politics for years and is now serving his third term as a member of the Ohio Republican state executive committee. He was elected as an alternate delegate to United States Senator T. E. Burton to represent the Twenty-first district of Ohio in the last national Republican convention. Mr. Fleming is a lawyer and prominent in the social life of Cleveland. He has been prominently mentioned for a position in Washington. League at Boston Says "Muskets of Paddies" Earned Them. Boston.—The text of the call issued to the people at large for the fair treatment of the Negro at the convention of the National Independent Political league at Boston is, in part, as follows: The National Independent Political league in fourth annual session at the citadel of American freedom, organized by colored American citizens to secure for them equal rights under the constitution, especially the enforcement of the fruits of the war for freedom—the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution—and to foster equal opportunities for all regardless of race or color, declares to the country from the "cradle of liberty" the following: We believe that the honor, welfare and security of this republic depend upon the abolition of race and color prejudice and color discrimination in citizenship and the life of the people. We demand only all those rights and opportunities enjoyed by all other people of the land and absolute equality for all under the law. The reputation and well being of any racial class are vitally affected by the press. The colored people suffer an unfair disadvantage from this course by the ignoring or minimizing of meritorious acts and achievements and the emphasizing of the color in all matters that reflect discredit. The denial of the right to earn one's bread by the sweet of one's brow because of race or color is a violation of the most fundamental principles of humanity. Nothing is more inconsistent than that for labor, seeking rights and control of the labor market, to draw the color line. We command such labor unions as are open to all workers and condemn those guilty of color discrimination as hostile to the real interests of labor and enemies to mankind. In view of the extraordinary and alarming state of affairs, we demand of the federal government, in the interest of justice, equal rights and the security of the country: First.—The enforcement of the constitution, to stop disfranchisement and peonage. Second.—The passage of a federal antijincrew car law for interstate passengers. Third—Federal aid to education with the same schooling for all. Fourth—The restoration of the discharged Bruwnsville soldiers. Fifth—Legislation making lynching a capital offense under federal jurisdiction. We further declare our opposition to any repeal of federal supervision of federal elections in the direct election of the United States senators. We urge the colored men of the country to use the ballot where possessed as a weapon of self defense for all their race, to be subservient to no political party, but to vote independently for men and measures, using their suffrage and making alliances with a view to securing equal rights and opportunities for colored citizens. Former Texas Boy Whe by Perelman, Thrift and Economy Has Ascumpulated Considerable Wealth. Served in Many Capacities Before Launching Out For Himself. New York.—Among the successful business men of the race who have attained eminence in their respective fields of endeavor is James C. Thomas, the efficient and well known undertaker in New York. Mr. Thomas has one of the largest and best equipped undertaking establishments in the country, located in One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street, in the heart of the Harlem section of the city. Mr. Thomas undertaking establishment has become one of the show places of the metropolis. The proprietor, who stands high in the business and professional world, tells a vivid JAMES C. THOMAS. story of the hard struggle which he had in working up to his present position in business. Mr. Thomas was born in Harrisburg, Tex., and went at an early age to Galveston, Tex., where he received his common school education and spent his early manhood days. As a young man he was always anxious to make his mark and began his rise in the world by working as porter and waiter on the steamboats. Twenty years ago he took up residence in New York and found work in the hotels for some time. For eleven years he worked as a steward in a fashionable club of New York and by strict economy saved enough money to enter business. While working in this capacity he resolved to become an undertaker and entered the Echols School of Embalming, from which he graduated in 1896. He opened his first undertaking establishment at 438 Seventh avenue, where he proved himself to be an efficient and capable undertaker. He was among the first of the race to enter the field in New York and by square and honest methods has built up a splendid business. The growth of Mr. Thomas' business necessitated larger and more commodious quarters. Three years ago he moved into his new establishment on One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street, which is valued at $24,000 and contains every convenience. It is well appointed, with offices and a large, spacious chapel. Mr. Thomas has ample facilities for the successful carrying on of his business. Beside his prominence in business he is active in many other directions, being identified with several race movements. He is a member of the executive committee of the National Negro Business league and at the recent session of the league in Little Rock was one of the speakers. Mr. Thomas is also a prominent lodge man. When asked to what he attributed his success in business he replied: "I owe my success to honest dealing and being prescript. I am fond of my business and believe that the only way to make a success is to be honest and square and prompt. I owe a great deal of my success to my wife, Mr. Thomas, who assists me in the business and who is an experienced undertaker and embalmer." Besides the beautiful city residence of Mr. Thomas in New York, he owns a fine country house at Fairfield, Conn. Colored people of America, determined to have justice and equality, in this land of our birth, saved by the musters of our fathers, let our slogan be—agitate, educate, organize, ever remembering that "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty" and titil "he who would be free must himself first strike the blow." Hardly a Compliment. A vicar was taken ill and his church warden sought a substitute, when the bishop of the diocese offered to take the Sunday services himself. The church warden at the close of the service went up to the bishop and after thinking him stammered out: "A poorer preacher would have done for us, your lordship, but we were unable to find one." FIVE CENTS A COPY GRAPHIC ACCOUNT OF THE UP- WARD STRUGGLE OF TEN MILLID, COLORED 'AMERICANS— WHAT THEY HAVE ACHIEVED AND THE UNFAVORABLE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH THEY LABOR ALONG ALL LINES. Two-thirds of Dr. W. E. B. Du Bots' speech before the universal race congress, recently held in London, was devoted to a comprehensive summary of the history of the negro race in America. He outlined the conditions under which slavery existed, gave the statistics of population and discussed the figures for health and crime. He quoted the fact of the 2,500 lynchings in the last twenty-five years and showed that only one-quarter of these colored men were even accused of rape. He gave a brief outline of the reconstruction period, and dwelt on the fact that the colored legislators, whatever their faults, gave the south the beginning of a public school system, admitted thousands of poor whites to the suffrage who had previously been debarred and abolished many barbarous forms of punishment. He analyzed the occupations of the negroes of today than-2,000,000 laborers, divided into 1,260,000 farm laborers, 500,000 day laborers and 250,000 washerwomen. These he called "the semi-submerged" class, some held in debt peonage and paid small wages. There are 1,235,000 workingmen, divided into 125,000 skilled artisans, 575,000 semi-skilled workers and 500,000 servants. "This is the emerging group. They are handicapped by poor training and race prejudice, but they are pushing forward, saving something and educating their children as far as possible." There are 250,000 independents, divided into 200,000 farmers, 40,000 professional men, 100,000 merchants. "This, he said, is the leading group of negro Americans. The mass of them have common school training, and there are some 5,000 college trained men. They are accumulating property and educating their children. Their advance is opposed by a bitter and growing race prejudice." After giving these figures for the accumulation of property, Dr. Du Bois took up the present situation, which he analyzed as follows: The American negro problem is the question of the future status of the 10,000,000 Americans of negro descent. It must be remembered that these persons are Americans by birth and descent. They represent for the most part four or five American born generations, being in that respect one of the most original American groups in the land. Moreover, the negroes are not barbarians. They are as a made poor and ignorant, but they are growing rapidly in both wealth and intelligence, and larger and larger numbers of them demand the rights and privileges of American citizens as a matter of undoubted descent. Today these rights are largely denied. In order to realise the disabilities under which negroes suffer regardless of education, wealth or degree of white blood, we may divide the United States into three districts—the southern south, containing 75 per cent of the race; the border states, containing 15 per cent, and the north and west, containing 10 per cent. They receive a distinct standard of justice in the courts and are, especially liable to such violence, are negregated so far as possible in every walk of life—in railway stations, railway trains, street cars, lifts, etc.—and usually made to pay equal prices for inferior accommodations. They are often unable to protect their homes from invasion, their women from swait and, their savvys from exploitation; are not used for public facilities, like public and library, which they may not enter; are given message, educational, facilities, and supplies, some at all; are liable to personal insult unless they appear as servants or mentail or show deterence to white folks by yielding the route, etc. To many of these disabilities there are personal and local exceptions. In cities, for instance, the chance to defend the home, get an education and somewhat better wages is greater and much violence less frequent. Then there are always some personal exceptions—cases of help and courtesy, of justice in the courts and of good schools. These are, however, exceptions, and, as a rule, all negroes, no matter what their mistaking, possessions of desert, are subject to the above disabilities. Within the limits of these casts restrictions there are much good will and kindness between the races, and especially much personal charity and help. The 15 per cent of the negro population living on the border states suffer a little less restriction. They have some right of voting, are better able to defend their homes, and are less discriminated against in the expenditure of public funds. In the cities their schools are much better and public transit is less noticeable. In the north the remaining ten per cent. of the negro population is largely (Continued on Page 587.) --- BRADDOCK BRADDOCK (B. Mrs. Mary C. Hamilton—Bell phone 201-R. P. A. phone 895-1 Braddock.)

The National Baptist Convention came to us with all its strength, both numerical and financial. Such a gathering as the Convention proved to be is seldom seen in Pittsburgh. It brought to us some of the brightest men of the Race, whose words were full of timely suggestions and advice. One fact was clearly shown above all others, that the Negroes of the South are making rapid progress in their efforts to secure something for themselves in the way of property and money. They represent that type of Negro upon which the Race must depend for its future progress. Financially speaking, the Convention is reported as being highly successful. From the point of attendance, the crowd was somewhat disappointing. NEGRO AS A POLITICIAN The heated campaign now being waged in the City and County has served to demonstrate one thing at least, and that is the merits of the Negro as a politician. Regardless of motive, principal or anything relating to the real issues involved, the Negroes are "looking for the money," to use the expression so common to political parlance. At the beginning of the campaign all was quiet, not a voice of dissention was raised: As soon as it was known that certain candidates were putting money into the hands of their lieutenants, the free-for-all scramble began. The result is that the Negroes are as badly divided as are the various factions. This condition reflects sadly upon the colored man. It but argues that he does not place any value upon his ballot further than what it will bring in the money market. He uses his ballot for purely mercenary purposes. For this the white man who buys him gives him no credit, and at the same time loses all confidence in him, for he fears that the masket may be "bulled" by the opposing faction and the Negro voter resell his franchise. Argument to such Negroes is time and energy thrown away. They see nothing in organization for themselves; they will not tolerate leadership by any body; they will confide in no one whose face is black, nor will they be shown by any one the error of their way. It goes without saying that if the Negroes were as closely organized as are the Jews, Italians and other races, they would be sought by every faction, and not with money either, but with their full quota of political recognition. We are throwing our rights to the winds, brethren. We note with much pleasure that the Hón. Harry Smith, Edison and Proprietor of the Cleveland Gazette is out for delegate to the Constitutional Convention. We hope Harry will win as the Race in Cleveland cannot find a more conscientious and fearless man to represent them, and if elected would serve his people creditably. Every colored man should vote for him, as he had sacrificed the best part of his life in fighting our cause and we should show our gratitude to the champion of human rights to all people. The latest reports from Coatsville show that four more men have an indicted, two for murder and two for manslaughter. Simultaneously with this report comes the complaint against the people of Costville, charging that they practically refused to render aid or information to a thorough investigation. In view of the brazen crime committed by these same people, their attitude towards the grand jury is but natural. But in order to convict these men indicted, let the district attorney ask for a change of venue, and try them without further delay. To try these men in their own county would amount to nothing less than mockery. These men must be convicted before the law is vindicated. A Negro boy was arrested the other day for perjury. He registered and gave his age as 21. A county detective arrested him at the instance of the Registration Board. Another example of importance. Think of it: a Negro has to be the first victim. Led on by someone who is working for the money an ignorant boy finds his way to jail. And the fault is ours. No organization among us to teach the Negro the importance of his franchise. Francis H. Warren, Esq., of Detroit, Mich., and editor of the Detroit Informer, was a visitor in our city this week. While his mission here was purely a business one, he took the time to exchange greetings with us. Glad to have you Brother Warren, call again. IN BEHALF OF THEIR FELLOW WORKMEN. It is reported that at Key West, Florida, recently white union carpenters went on a strike until two Negro workmen who had been discharged, were restored by a board of arbitration, which found that the men were in the right. This incident is refreshing in view of the treatment Negro laborers have often received at the hands of their brothers in white.—Pittsburgh Christian Advocate LOCAL NEWS Among the prominent delegates present, at the National Baptist convention was Rev. Granville W. Harrison of Augusta, Ga. He is a brother of Thos. H. Harrison, the well known news dealer, who also conducts an employment agency and automobile school for the benefit of the race on Wylie avenue. Rev. Harrison is not only a big man in size, but is one of the most prominent ministers in Augusta, Ga. He was born within 25 miles of Augusta and has lived in Augusta since he was 16 years old. He was ordained into the ministry in 1855 and has pastored seven churches with great success and is now pastor over four churches with a total membership of 3,000 persons. His wife, Mrs. Carrie Harrison and his sister, Sue Cummings of Scranton, accompanied him to Pittsburgh. He has one son, 17 years of age, who is attending the Atlanta Baptist college. Mr. Harrison was very agreeably surprised with Pittsburgh and the hospitality extended. He says the best of feeling exists between the better element of white and blacks who are worthy and are doing something to elevate our people, notwithstanding statements made in the North to the contrary. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Young or Emiladelphia. Pa. were the guests of Miss Mamie Frazier of North Side, the past week.

All who have not paid their dollar money please do so and oblige. Homewood Notes The recent great convention some-what recorded the services in Zion church on Sunday last, nevertheless, those who the attend were simply renamed. "The pastor preached on the morning, Roy L. S. Law of the congregational church, presided to the Ladies' Missionary society. His senior was pregnant with whole-some advice and clearly showed the necessity for wives in the Master's Vineyard. The ladies were encouraged to continue in the work. The church and community were then called upon and reminded of the utility of life, in the passing away of an old resident and member in the person of Mrs. Margaret Lingerie, last Saturday. Federal service occurred on Monday. She leaves number of children and relatives. For over a year did she struggle because of affliction. Her last days were spent with her daughter Ada, who deserves credit for her watchfulness and care or her mother. Mrs. Josephine Gross of Tigua street, sojourning in Scottdale, Pa., among friends. The Hamilton Literary society was pleasantly and profitably entertained on Tuesday night by visitors or interest in the persons of T. T. Jackson and Dr. Butler. On the evening of the 26th a careful reception and presentation will be held in honor of the pastor, Rev. Combash, and the president, Thos. Vaughn. Everybody invited. The failure to listen to good address or a willingness to be in the right paths or life, resulted in an arrest of one of the boys who insults in doing as he pleased. We regret much that the inspiration does not lead to high and noble attainments. Rev. Combush seems to be empathic in his determination to take another field or work. We hope "for him success, we never he may go. His耐性ism among us cannot be denied and should be made public at Zion on Sunday. Lend a hand in competing the pastor's salary. CONNELLSVILLE.

Oldest Congregation In Zion Convention Has Had a Long and Eventful Career—Pastor Bolden Desires to Exect Institutional Church in Heart of Colored Population. BY CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. New York—Owing to the trend of the colored population to the upper section of the city, "Mother" A. M. E. Zion church, located in West Eighty-ninth street, in an exclusive white neighborhood, is making preparation to move to a neighborhood more convenient to the colored population. These facts were made known recently by Rev. Dr. R. M. Bolden, the successful young pastor of the church, who appointed a committee of twenty-one to take the matter of removal under advertisement. Rev. Dr. Bolden is desired that the church shall exert the largest religious influence and with that end in view will endeavor to secure a site in a section where a large number of colored people live in which to erect the new church. The idea of Dr. Bolden is to build an institutional church, with a special patronage, that will equal our culture in the country. Mother Zion A. M. E. church is full of historic interest and is the oldest church in the Zion connection. It has had an interesting growth, beginning in 1850, its first church site at the corner of church and Leonard streets. The growth upon the church demanded a larger structure, and in 1850 a new church was erected. The church then moved to West Tenth and Blecker REV. R. M. BOLDEN, D. D. streets, where it stood as a force in the spiritual life of the city and a credit to Zion for many years. The onward sweep of the colored population still demanded a larger and more commodious cemetery, and consequently, in 1804, "Mother Zion" moved to the present site in West Eighty-ninth street. The invasion of the church in this exclusive neighborhood was commented upon all over the country. The church has done much to bring about a more friendly relation between the races. The "mother church" as it is fondly referred to by Zionites, has had as its pastor some of the most noted men of the connection. Distinguished prelates like Bishop Alexander Walters, J. C. Coadwell, M. R. Franklin and others well known in the connection once pasted at Mother Zion. Since the pastorate of Rev. Mr. Bolden Mother Zion has had a steady growth, and through his energy the church has become a center of religious influence. The moving of Mother Zion to the upper section of the city a few years ago marked a new era in her long and eventful history, and special services commemorating the event were held. The services were graced by the presence of Bishop G. L. Blackwell, the scholarly prelate of the Zion connection. The present pastor of Mother Zion took charge of her affairs in 1000 and met with signal success. During his pastorate 400 new members have been added to the church and the congregation has greatly increased. The church is well organized. School Facilities In Fort Worth School Facilities The new high school building in Fort Worth, Tex. was erected at a cost of $50,000. The school population num- bers about 2,500. The high school fur- nishes accommodations for upwards of 1,000 pupils. Of the fifty-eight col- ored teachers in Fort Worth, twenty- of them in the various departments of education in this building, under the supervision of Professor I. M. Terrell, who is one of the best known educators in the state. Evidences of Race Progress Noted. It is gratifying to note the increasing desire upon the part of the colored people throughout the country to buy land and establish more suitable dwellings in which to live. Farm owning is another sign of pro- gress which is very necessary. The total number of farms owned by the town in South Carolina as reported in 1810 was twelve. This number has thus been increased by scores. Power of England's Primate. The archbishop of Canterbury is "primate of all England." He is endowed with the right to grant special licenses, to marry and also appoint notaries public. It is he who grants dispensations to clerks of the church to hold more than one benefice, subject to certain restrictions imposed by statute in recent years. The archbishop ranks as the first peer of the realm after the princes of the royal blood, and has the right to crown the sovereign, and to other secular prerogatives. Great Equah Suffrage Convention at Annual Session in Boston Declares War on Race-Discrimination by State and National Governments. Remedy For Lynching Suggested. Boston.-No meeting held in the interest of the civil and political well being of the colored race in the United States has equaled in attendance, enthusiasm and earnestness that of the National Independent Political league recently held for three successive days in Boston. Men of influence in business, church, state and in the professions took part in the program of exercises throughout the session and expressed their determination to continue the battle for the civil and political enfranchisement of the race. President, John R. Clifford, editor of the Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press, in his annual address covered almost every phase of the situation which contends the colored people in record to their rights as citizens and the lack of interest in right, justice and the enforcement of the war amendments to the federal constitution as enlisted by the state and national governments. His spoke in part as follows: There is no Negro problem in this country. The only problem is the white man's problem, and the problem is. Has the white man enough of the religion of Jesus Christ in him so that he will treat the black man as a fellow man and as a servant. The Republican party and the country have the colored man a greater debt of gratitude than he gives either the party or the country. It is the duty of the colored man at this crisis in his development to study conditions of the black man, his best conscience and judgment, to be independent in his political activities. We denounce the attempts to limit the surface so that those who have a specified amount of property or a white face may vote. We denounce all laws, ordinance and decisions of court which separate between man and man on the basis of race or color. Who pardoned the peonage murders of our people's lives and liberty but President Taft? Who put every Negro officerholder in the south out of office to please the Negro hatting south? President William Howard Taft. Who was it that took the president of Flik university and the colored people are a distinct class and must be so treated? Your Republican president, dubbed by that section "Billy Porsum." Who was it that ordered discharges of our soldiers at Brownville? Mr. Taft. When sixty odd innocent Negroes were putiered like hogs in Texas in July, 1910, your Republican president, I am frank to say I too distill" to a gun him. Mr. Taft's advice to us how to be friendly with the south recalls to me Theodore Roosevelt's advice to the English people who helped their colored subjects in Kenya. Did he help them in the war in North Africa at the White House? It was he who discharged and disgraced the very soldiers who saved his life in Cuba, including Sergeant Mingo Sanders, who divided his back with him. All that the people said to him was "everything man and low Mr. Roosevelt's color taught him. Many white men will be begging Negroes to plead their cause before a just God, and Theodore Roosevelt will be one of them and Mingo Sanders his mediator. He ordered men have kept the Republican party in power and made it possible for it to protect the "interests" and produce multimillionaires, while it reduced the Negro to the position of a political slave. Race solidarity in politics is the only way to overcome it. It gained for us the contempt and opposition, of the Democratic party in most places, while it failed to hold the Republican party true to its black allies. SOUTHERN LIFE MAGAZINE. Harris Tubman and F. W. Williams Featured in September Number. The September issue of the Southern Life Magazine has, among other interest- ing and well written articles, an "Hoor With Harriet Tubman," by James B. Clarke; a brief sketch of Franklin W. Williams, the brilliant young attorney who graduated with honors from the New York Law school last June, being the only Afro-American in a class of 149 students, by Rev. R. A. Grant, and "What the Negro Has a Right to Expect of Christi- anity." The editorial section covers in a commendable way such subjects as "Where Negroes Are Not Dying Out," "A Need Our Colleges Are Failing to Meet" and "Blasting at the Foundation of Government." Under the heading "Following the Lines of Radical Interest," a number of subjects concerning many phases of current happenings are briefly considered. The number concludes with the full program of subjects discussed at the recent fourth annual roundup of the farmers' institute held at Clark university, illustrated with a full page group picture of persons composing the institute. Work of New Forward Movement. The work of the international committee of the Young Men's Christian association and the several religious organisations with which it is associated for the bettering of conditions among the men and boys throughout the United States and Canada is succeeding well. The campaign will soon begin in all the large cities, and the sorts of meetings will be addressed by prominent men who have won world fame in work of this kind. Must Have Imagination. Life in the country may be one of the richest on earth, but it may also be one of the poorest. If the great book of nature be open to the eye of him who resides there, and illuminated with the light of heaven, from this little knoll he can see and enjoy all the glory of the world; but if he sees in nature only the potato field which gives him food, then is this golden vein closed for him, and he himself stands like the potato plant, fast rooted in the earth.

As a matter of fact, however, they are made in most communities to feel that they are undesirable. They are either refused accommodation at hotels, restaurants and theaters or received reluctantly. Their treatment in churches and general cultural organizations is such that few join. Intermarriage with white brings ostracism and public disfavor, and in courts negroes often suffer, undeservedly. Common labor and mental work is open to them, but avenues above this in skilled labor or the professions, save as they serve their own race, are extremely difficult to enter, and there is much discrimination in wages. Mob violence has become not. infrequent of later years. There are here also many exceptional cases, instances of preferment in the industrial and political world, and there is always some little social intercourse. On the whole, however, the negro in the north is an ostracised person who finds it difficult to make a good living or spend his earnings with pleasure. Under these circumstances there has grown up a negro world in America which has its own economic and social life, its churches, schools and newspapers; its literature, public opinion and ideals. This life is largely unnoticed and unknown even in America, and travelers miss it almost entirely. The average American in the past made at least a pretense of excusing the discrimination against negroes on the ground of their ignorance and poverty and their tendencies to crime and disease. While the mass is still poor and unlettered, it is admitted by all today that the negro is rapidly developing a larger and larger class of intelligent property holding men of negro descent. Notwithstanding this more and more race lines are being drawn which involve the treatment of civilized men in an uncivilized manner. This philosophy the thinking negroes and a larger number of white friends vigorously combat. They claim that the racial differences between white and black in the United States offer no essential obstacle to the races living together on terms of mutual respect and helpfulness. They deny, on the one hand, that the large amalgamation of the races already accomplished has produced degenerates in spite of the unhappy character of these unions. On the other hand, they deny any desire to lose the identity of either race through intermarriage. They claim that it should be possible for a civilized black man to be treated as an American citizen without harm to the republic and that the modern world must learn to treat colored races as equals if it expects to advance. They claim that the negro race in America has more than vindicated its ability to assimilate modern culture. Negro blood has furnished thousands of soldiers to defend the flag in every war in which the United States has been engaged. They are a most important part of the economic strength of the nation, and they have furnished a number of men of ability in politics, literature and art. THE IRISH AMBASSADOR. At an international wedding in Washington, order was preserved in the streets near the church by a squad of policemen under the command of Capt. Daniel Sullivan, who is famous for his politeness. A young man representing a metropolitan daily peer stationed himself near Sullivan, and took down the names of the prominent people as they alighted from their carriages and entered the church. Sullivan's diction was partly as follows: "The British ambassador, The senators from Maryland. The German ambassador. The Irish ambassador. The bishop of Washington." When the reporter returned to the office and looked over his list, he was astonished to see the note. "The Irish ambassador," as he realized that Ireland, being, a part of Great Britain, has no diplomatic representative of its own. After much trouble, he got Sullivan on the telephone. "What do you mean by 'the Irish ambassador'?" he asked, in great haste. "Who is he?" "Why, he's Capt. Daniel Sullivan," replied Sullivan. "Ain't I a policeman?"—Popular Magazine. PUNISHING THE MICROBES. "The germ theory, thanks to the study of hygiene in the schools, is familiar even to our children," said Dr. Charles T. Tikens, president of Susquehanna university, in an address at Sellinsgrove. "Two little Sellinsgrove urchins played in their mother's kitchen the other day while the cook boiled some water. Hearing the sound of the boiling, they drew near the gas range. "What is in that pot?" said the first urchin. "Water," said the second. "Just water." "What is the sound I hear, then, brother?" "Sister, it is the microbes crying." ECONOMY. "Benjamin!" cried Mrs. Toodles to her husband, who was going out of the gate. "bring me/two penny worth of snuff when you come home." "Snuff, Mrs. Toodles—snuff!" he ejaculated, as he paused with his hand on the latch. "No, no. Mrs. Toodles; the times are too hard to admit of such extravagance. You must tickle your nose with a straw." No Need for Fear On one occasion when General Jackson was sailing down Chesapeake bay in an old steamboat the waves were running high, and an e'dery gentleman present expressed some concern.

All is gorgeous and jollification reigns supreme in Swickley during the week of the celebration of the new bridge over the Ohio. We very much regret that Swickley colored people did not represent themselves with a marching club and floats in the parade which was one of the finest the writer has ever seen of the kind. It was left to Wilson's band of Swickley to hold up the honors for the colored people. They held their own and more than held it. The white public declared them the best in line. Handsome new uniforms, splendid drum major, catchy music brought forth applause all along the route in both owns. John Lain as vocal soloist with the band, set the 'town wild singing "Some of These Days" in the morning and evening concerts.
