Bill Appropriating Funds For Exposition May Pass—Noted Educator's Argument Washington.-Major R. R. Wright, president of the Georgia State Industrial college and the president of the American emancipation exposition, scored another victory for the race in his recent address before the house appropriation committee of congress. He made a strong and convincing argument in behalf of the $250,000 appropriation for the Negro semi-centennial exposition. The special committee co-operating with Major Wright: consisted of the following persons: Messrs. J. J. Fitzgerald, chalrman; Charles L. Bartlett, Thomas U. Sisson; Joseph G. Cannon, Frederick H. Gillett. Major Wright seems to have again made a very favorable impression upon the house committee. The report of his hearing before the committee contains sixteen pages. The committee decided to report the bill favorably to congress. The general belief is that it will pass without much difficulty. Bishop Alexander Walters, who is interested in the bill, wrote Major Wright that he had seen Speaker Champ Clark, House Leader Underwood and Chairman Fitzgerald and that all had agreed to the passage of the bill. It has the endorsement of some of the leading white philanthropists, such as M. MAJOR R. R. WRIGHT. R. C. Ogden, George Foster Peabody, William J. Schieffelin and others. It also has the indorsement of the lending periodicals, Dr. Lyman Abbott and William Hayes Ward have also indorsed the movement. It is gratifying to know that a number of the governors of southern states, such as of Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, West Virginia and Kentucky, have indorsed the idea of holding such an exposition. Major Wright and his friends began the matter in its second stage last April and have been successful in getting it through the senate and halfway through the house, where it now occupies a favorable position. One of the members of the committee on appropriations asked Professor Wright to tell something about himself. This is quite satisfactorily answered in that famous publication known as "Who Is Who in America." This notable biographical dictionary contains the names of a very large number of America's notable men. It speaks of Major Wright as follows: Richard Robert Wright, college president. Born in Dalton, Ga., May 16, 1855; son of Robert Wadell and Harriet (Lynch) Wright; A. B. 1876, A. M. 1879, Atlanta university; LL.D. Wilberforce university, Ohio, 1890; married L. Elizabeth Howard of Columbus, Ga., June 7, 1877; began teaching Augusta, Ga., 1880; president Georgia State Industrial college (colored), Savannah, 1891; organizer and president Georgia State Colored Agricultural and Industrial association 1907; president Georgia State Agricultural and Industrial fair 1908. "Major Wright served as additional paymaster, with rank of major, volunteers. Aug. 3 to Dec. 1, 1898; trustee Atlanta university, delegate to four Republican conventions, declined appointment E. E. and M. P. to Liberia, tendered by President McKinley; Congregationalist, Mason, member American Historical association, National Educational association, etc.; author historical and other papers and articles in periodical press; address Savannah, Ga."

The Paper That Promotes Progress RANK RACE PREJUDICE SHOWN IN HOMEWOOD A Merchant's Rediculous Advertisement and Other Race Discriminations Mr. Editor of the Courier: Sir, I may be allowed the space in your valuable paper. I would like to voice a protest against this rank race produce that is bobbing up here and there in our city most too frequently to go unnoticed. A few days ago there appeared in your paper an article concerning a narrow-minded white-livered merchant at the Homewood district, who advertised the fact that he did not employ "Negroes or foreigners" in the making of his products. Again in this same locality the Negroes are being forced to submit to racial discriminations at the hands of the same type of low, contemptible men, who not content to confine their animosity to their private business have invaded the public school system of this district. The Homewood Board of Trade composed of the bigoted merchants of this district, will hold their annual outing or picnic at Kennywood park June 28, to which is invited the public schools of the Homewood, Brushton and Crescent district. At this picnic there are races for boys and girls, men and women, for which prizes are listed, donated by these merchants, and the "committee reserves the right to determine, who shall enter any and all contests." Listed on the program is a "special boys race" and a "special girl's race," for which prizes are offered. Now these "special races are for the Negro school children and it is distinctly understood that they will be excluded from participating in all others. Two years ago at this same picnic of the school, our Board of Trade, the Negro children were refused entrance to any race, and last year this feature was added, but fortunately the children were so great not one would enter. Now since our children go to these mixed schools are we as citizens and voters to stand idly by and allow an organization or body of men in this city, step in or on any pretext, put up the bars of race discrimination and dictate the policy of our great public school system. Men, I say, it is time to awaken up. Let us leading men get together and stir up a sentiment that will sweep down upon our school authorities and purge the system of these base prejudices that exist. If this matter is not stopped now it only means that the next step will be the exclusion of Negro school children entirely from this picnic. God knows there is too much racial distinction in these schools now, without the interference of outside influence. Let us register a protest that will be as mountainous as the clouds and be as loud as the elements. Yours for the right. (Signed.) HENRY P. PAYNE. Militant Race Organization Will Meet In Philadelphia, Wednesdey, July 3 GOOD WORK ACCOMPLISHED Philadelphia.—The National Independent Political league will hold its fifth annual meeting in this city instead of at Harpers Ferry. The sessions of the convention will be held in the Zion Baptist church. North Thirteenth street above Wallace street, for three days beginning July 3. Any member of the race who is an independent in politics and who believes in supporting men and measures rather than parties is eligible to membership. Local leagues in each state are requested to be represented by delegates at the coming annual meeting as matters of vital interest to the race will come up for consideration. Besides the election of national and state officers, the league will decide upon what candidates for president and vice president it will support in the campaign to be waged in the fall between the two great national political parties. In speaking of the importance of taking timely action in the matter by the league, President John R. Clifford says: "The coming campaign will offer a unique and unequaled opportunity to every independent, manly, unselfish and intelligent colored voter to strike for the full manhood, political, civil and industrial rights of his race. We therefore urge every elector to seize the opportunity and act the part of a man. "Lynchings, race hatred, colorphobia, industrial discrimination, segregation, exclusion from the ballot box and from the state militia of the south and peonage are all the products of disfranchisement and will be remedied only when the race learns to use the ballot everywhere in America to force political parties to accord to all American citizens equal rights, opportunities and protection. "The times are freewith great possibilities as well as great dangers. As loyal American citizens we are interested in preserving to the people of this country a republican form of government and a fair show and exact justice to every citizen of the country. We believe that the independent, manly, intelligent and unselfish colored voters are equal to the task and will rise up in their might and help to put down forever demagogues, time servers, the rule of bosses, the corrupt politician, the possessor of special privileges and the oppressor."

PITTSBURG PA., JUNE 28, 1912. BISHOP TELLS OF THE PROGRESS OF METHODISTS Good Work of the General Conference. Many Vital and Grave Matters Discussed $30,000.00 HAD BEEN SAVED New York. — The ninety-second annual session of the New York annual conference of the A. M. E. Zion church, which convened in the Harlem A. M. E. Zion church, in this city. Wednesday morning, June 19, and closed Monday, June 24, was a big success. It was the second annual conference of the church after the general conference, which was recently held in Charlotte. Bishop J. W. Hood, senior bishop of the connection and the oldest living prelate of the race, presided at the conference. He was assisted by Bishop J. C. Caldwell. The Harlem A. M. E. Zion church, of which Rev. Dr. J. H. McMullen is pastor, is a new edifice and is valued at $50,000. The church was built since the last annual conference of the church and is one of the finest in the connection. At the conference many vital and grave matters pertaining to the church were discussed, and when the conference closed it went down on record as having cleared up much business of the connection. One of the most important matters taken up was the matter in reference to rebuilding the girl's dormitory at Livingstone college, which was recently destroyed by fire. The conference pledged to accept the proposition of the general educational board that $12,500 of the amount would be given if $37,500 would be raised by the connection. The New York conference of the Zion church is the mother conference of the connection and extends from Troy to Sag Harbor. There are thirty-seven churches and six missions in the conference, and some of the most prominent churchmen of the connection are members. Bishop Hood, the dean of the Zion bishopric, has been presiding over the New York conference for twenty-six years, which is the longest period that any Negro bishop has presided over one district. When the conference opened for the first session a large number of delegates was present. The opening session had to do with the organization of the conference and the annual conference greeting, which is always a feature of the conference. The principal feature of the second day's session was the Episcopal address of Bishop Hood, which was one of the most notable addresses ever heard before the conference. Bishop Hood spoke as follows: "A supervising and ever ruling Providence has graciously brought us together again to transact the business of the yearly conference. I humbly acknowledge the great obligation we are under to give praise to our glorious heavenly Father for the many manifestations of his loving kindness and favor toward us." Continuing, Bishop Hood said: "The twenty-fourth quadrennial for the connection at large closed with the general conference, and the twenty-fifth began. The new conference year, which will begin at the close of this conference. will begin under a new order of things arranged by the general conference. "The general conference was the best we have ever had. The delegates were remarkable for intelligence and earnestness and aimed to accomplish the best results." Bishop Hood stated that by wise economy at the general conference $30,000 had been saved. MARRIAGE LICENSES Hubert S. Sharpe ... Pittsburgh Francena M. Robinson ... Pittsburgh William A. Cox ...

Young Institution Hold Its First Anniversary and Is Growing in Public Favon INDORSEMENT OF EDUCATORS Cranford, N. J.-Thursday, June 27, marked the first anniversary and commencement of the Alpha Industrial institute in this town, of which the Rev. Page M. Beverly is president. The anniversary sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. E. W. Roberts of Plainfield, and the baccalaurate address was delivered by the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell of New York. The exercises were well attended by visitors and friends of the school from most all sections of the state. Much interest is being manifested in the work of the institution by the leading white and colored citizens of the community and immediate vicinity in which it is located. The school had its inception in the thrift and industry of Mr. Page M. Beverly, who communicated his ideas and plans to a number of ministers. The result was the formation of the school, which is incorporated under the laws of the state. It has the endorsement of the white Baptist state convention, from which it receives substantial encouragement. The faculty is composed of a group of interested mep and women well qualified for the work. A thorough course in the elementary branches is given the students before they are allowed to enter upon the various trades and industrial branches. The academic department prepares the student for college. The Bible training school gives a thorough course in Bible study, pastoral theology and church history. President Beverly is an energetic young man of great ambition and self reliance. He believes in the possibilities of the school as set forth in the articles of incorporation. He has the endorsement of the leading educators and prominent men of both races in his section. Mr. Beverly is a former student of Virginia Union university and is doing a work of uprising among our people which no other man has dared to undertake in this part of New Jersey. During the summer President Beverly will devote much time to lecture work in the interest of the school. MRS. F. G. MITCHELL DIED AT WILBERFORCE Mrs. Fannie Mitchell, widow of the late Dr. John G. Mitchell, one of the three founders of Wilberforce University, and who at the time of his death was a dean in Payne Theological Seminary, died at 7 o'clock Saturday evening at her home in Wilberforce, O. Her death was due to a complication of diseases, and came after an illness of three weeks' duration. She had not been in good health for several years and had been spending her winters in the south on that account. She returned from Florida less than two months ago. The deceased was born June 29, 1828, and was thus nearly 74 years of age at the time she died. She was prominent in educational work in her early life having taught school in Cincinnati and in the south. She was also identified with Wilberforce in earlier years. She was widely and favorably known and her death throws a pall of sadness over Wilberforce. During her last illness she was cared for by two nieces, Mrs. Minnie Battles Simpson of Wrenville and Mrs. Ada Napier of Springfield. James Henry Koger . Homestead, Pa. Lillie E. Anderson .

An Independence Day Story Cecil, in the broad driveway, was trying to train his docile little Shetland pony into a war-borse; and it was his efforts in this direction which first attracted Jack, and challenged his admiration, when the boy in the velvet suit sat erect in his saddle, and refused to be tossed off into the grass by the pony, which did not second the desire for military tactics displayed by his young master. It was Jack who spoke first. "Gee, boy! but you've got the grit if you do wear dude clothes," he called out admiringly. "My name is Cecil," the young rider replied, with a touch of boyish dignity, and then recognizing the spirit of the boy who had spoken to him, he replied as heartily, "I heard a boy who was passing call you Jack. Wouldn't you like to come in, and see my pony? You can mount him too, if you would like it." And he jumped lightly to the ground, making his invitation a real one. He was, ever ready to share his pleasures—this boy in the velvet suit; and he was often lonely for a congenial companion, who could be a comrade. "I could not love a cad, you know, papa," he used to say. Jack's eyes sparkled. "I never thought," he exclaimed, in a burst of boyish confidence, "that a boy that wears gladi rags like velvet could be so chummy with a rough chap like me. It's ayful good of you." "Not at all," responded Cecil. "My papa says I must never forget 'Noblesse Oblige.'" "What's that?" and Jack fug him self down on the ground by the side of his newly made friend. "Say it again. No bliss Q what?" "Noblesse oblige." "I never had a father," he added apologetically, "or I's pose he would have told me about it." "That is too bad," replied Cecil sympathetically; "but now you just help yourself to the oranges and the cakes, and we will have a fine talk. I wish pina wore here, because he can explain it better than I can; but I will tell you what he told me. 'Noblesse oblige' is French, and means literally; 'Ranks imposes obligations': but my papa says it means, applied to me, that, if I have more than other boys, I ought to do more for them; that my money is not to spend on myself alone, but that; I must do all the good I can with it in trying to help others who are woggy and needy, and that, if I have every advantage of education and a happy home, where I am loved and basked up to do what is right, I should be a great deal better boy than one who never has had such advantages, and that I ought to do a great deal more for others on that account." "It's the sure thing," he said, "no mistake about that; but I never heard a rich kid reel it off before. Most of them think, 'cause they're rich, their money makes 'em better than poor folks, and they'd no more let us divvy in their play than they'd let us wear their glad rags. No—they don't want to be bothered with us in any way." "But it's the boy himself that counts, and not the clothes that he wears," interposed Cecl earnestly, as he hedged closer to Jack. "My papa says the most beautiful and costly clothes in A Trying to Train His Shetland Pony, the world would not make anything of me if I were selfish and mean and bad; but, if I were dressed in rags, I might, if brave and noble and selfish, still become a great and good man, and do lots of good in the world." "Did your father say that, kid' honor bright" and Jack's voice grew husky with suppressed emotion." "Honor bright, he did." said Cecil. "What is he—a preacher? That souls like parson talk." "No—he's just a business man." "Wal, that's business all right, all right. And I reckon it goes, and means more if a business man says it than a parson. When a business man says it, he means it; but, when a preacher reels it on one's just talking shop" "Well, my papa said it, and he does it too." "Then all I've got to say," said Jack earnestly, "is, that you ought to be good and proud of having such a dad. A man that thinks a poor ragged chap like me can be somebody-if he keeps straight and clean-why a man like that ought to be president." "That's what I tell him," answered the small boy in velvet proudly. "But he says—what do you think he says, Jack?" that he would rather have me the right kind of a boy than to be the president himself." "Wal, I reckon he's got his wish, rather," and Jack nodded approvingly; "for I can tell you what, kid, you've got more of the right stuff in you than a dozen of the usual run of men have got; and you'$^2$ done me more good today, by just letting me come in here and be a sort of pal for half an hour, than I've ever got out of mission schools, or Sunday schools, or 'cross-my-heart' churches. So good-by." But, "Cecil cried, 'you must not go without having some of my fireworks, and shooting off my new brass cannon, so you can have a Fourth of your own. The cannon's a beauty; and, for noise, she's got what I suppose you would call the neighborhood beat a mille." "But do you ever talk kid talk, like that?" said Jack. "That sounds bully for you." "Oh, no! not very often." "Spope you caught it from me, didn't you? May be it contiguous." "Contagious, I supose you mean," said Cecil, laughing heartily. "I thought it was the same thing." "Well, no. not exactly. But we can have the fireworks now. I promised not to have them around till after my pony had had his exercise, and was back in the barn, because the noise might frighten him." "Gee! what does he mean by nodding his head that way? Seems as if he understood what you was a-sayin'." "It does seem like that. May be he knows he isn't a war-horse yet." "But wouldn't he make a funny warhorse in a circus?" And both boys had a perfect spasm of laughter. "But see," said Cecil, "here is my cannon, all loaded and mounted, and Loaded, Mounted, and Ready to Fire. ready to fire; and this is the fuse, ready to light—this way." Both boys were so interested in watching the cannon that Jack said afterward it was a wonder he happened to look around; but he did, and his sturdy heart was almost paralyzed with terror, for the match which Cecil had tossed carelessly aside had fallen on a newspaper where rested a package of gunpowder and other combustibles. He could not get there in time to put out the fire, and prevent it; and Cecil—dear little Cecil—might be blown to pieces. It was impossible for them both to escape; but, oh! if he could only save him, it would not matter so much about himself. Those were the thoughts running through his head. What should he do? A second more, and it would be too late. Then the inspiration came. Seizing the smaller boy in his arms, he dropped with him to the ground, covering him with his own body; and, as he did so, there was a hissing sound, and the crash of an explosion, which brought the inmates of the great house screaming to the grounds. Cecil heard the agonized cry of his mother, and tried to call to her, and then drifted away into momentary unconsciousness. They thought at first that both of the boys were dead; but when they tenderly lifted Jack, all burned and blackened by the powder, they found Cecil unharmed, save by the shock; and, with returning consciousness, his first thought was for Jack-Jack, who had saved him from injury at the risk of his own life. "Dear, brave Jack!" he sobbed, kneeling by the still and blackened figure, his slender hands clasped around the other boy's neck. "Carry him to my bed, and do everything for him that you would do for me—all of you; for I love him-Jack, who has saved my life." And Cecil was obeyed affectionately, for each one knew that, were it not for the strange boy lying there, one so endeared to all their hearts would be living in his place. It was evening; and the bursting of crackers and torpedoes, and the booming of guns and cannons, was silent for the nounce; but the illumination of the evening sky, by rocker and candle, seemed a celebration in honor of the fact that the boy who had been so willing to give up his life for another was released from the sacrifice. The great surgeon had done his work skillfully, and the pain was not so bad, Jack said, as, swathed in bandages, he lay in Cecil's face-laced bed. Bedell kneeling at the bedside with one arm gently and lovingly around Jack's neck. "He belongs to us now, papa—doesn't he?" the little boy in velvet proudly, yet tenderly; "and all that I have is his.

It seems as though "Noblesse oblige" was revered on this occasion for the Fergus of Jolie. CALLIE BONNEY MARBLE --- FIGHTING BLOOD OF 1912 THE FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE THE MUSEUM OF THE ARTS Independence Hall, Philadelphia, 1776. Some Patriotic Women of the Revolution It is really very interesting to see how women are influenced by circumstances. As we look around upon our busy self-important, sometimes frivolous sisters, we can see nothing heroic about them. Yet I believe that in every woman's breast there lies the possibility of great heroism. What she can do when put to the test is amply illustrated by the events of history. Anecdotes of the women of the Revolution, showing what they suffered, what they thought, what they did, are positively thrilling. Can we do better, in a time of prosperity like this, than to recall to our memory the experiences of those women who endured such hardships for their country's sake? There is a sprightly conversation preserved for us in a letter from the fascinating, talented Mrs. Wilkinson of Charleston, which shows quite clearly the attitude of the young matrons of the Revolution toward their British foe. She is describing her feelings when asked by an officer to play the guitar. "I cannot play; I am very dull." "How long do you intend to continue so, Mrs. Wilkinson?" "Until my countrymen return, sr." "Return as what, madame—prisoners or subjects?" "As conquerors, sr." He affected a laugh. "You will never see that, madame." "I live in hopes, sir, of seeing the thirteen stripes holested once more on the battons of this garrison." "Do not hope so; but come, give us a tune '6n the guitar." "I can play nothing but rebel songs." Thus Mrs. Wilkinson, true to her hopes and patriotic to the very core of her being, withstood the advances of the enemy even along purely personal lines. She is typical of every woman of her day. One of her letters—I am only able to quote bits of it—is particularly interesting, for it describes a scene familiar to every FIGHTING BL My daddy charged on San Juan Hill, My grandad a dagnitif! My mother isn't afraid or snakes, Near barkin dogs a-blitn! I come from patriotic stock That never know a quitter- Bring on your great big grisly bear An' watch me slay the critter! PITTSBURGH COURIER American family of Revolutionary times. She says: "I heard the horses of the inhui man Britons coming in such a furious manner that they seemed to tear up the earth, the riders at the same-time bellowing out the most horrid curses, but I had no time for thought—they were up to the house—entered with drawn swords and pistols in their hands. Then they began to plunder the house of everything they thought valuable or worth taking, our trunks were split to pieces and each mean pitful wretch crammed his bosom with the contents. They took my sister's ear-rings from her ears, and demanded her ring from her finger; she pleaded for it, told them it was her wedding ring, and begged they would let her keep it, but they still demanded it, and presenting a platoat at her, swore if she did not deliver it immediately they would fire. I had forgot to tell you that upon their first entering the house, one of them gave my arm such a violent grasp that he left the print of his thumb and three fingers in black and blue which was to be seen plainly for several days. Few women are called upon to endure the sufferings of Mrs. Gaston, a young patriot scarcely over twenty who saw her husband shot before her very eyes. Gaston was a physician, most ardent in his sympathy for the American army. While endeavoring to escape with his wife, a child of three, and an infant of a few weeks, he was overtaken by a party of British. With out being allowed a word with his wife or a moment of preparation he was shot. "The musket which found his heart was leveled over her shoulder." It was necessary for this wretched young wife to drag her husband's body to a place of safety and after his hasty burial to make a way for her children in the world. A witness to her success in life lies in the life of her son, who became a most learned and distinguished American gentleman. Mrs. Gaston survived her husband 31 years, yet she never left off her mourning, and kept the anniversary of her husband's murder in fasting and prayer until her death. The fascinations of woman were soldiered use to better advantage than upon a certain afternoon shortly after the retreat from New York, when a troop of British soldiers were detained at the house of a Mrs. Murray, who gave them besides cake and wine such sprightly conversation that they remained two hours—just long enough to allow General Putnam, the last to leave the city, to make retreat across the dangerous highroad, on which the Britshers were loitering. Think of the inner excitement of this gentle little Friend, how her eyes must have shone and her cheeks crimsoned as moment after moment passed and she realized that she had saved a part of the American army! Such a situation seems almost impossible to us now, does it not? THE LAND OF THE FREE. We hall the return of the day of thy birth.

TAFT, TEDDY AND THE NEGHO. Since the Natlofyl Convention at Chicago the country is full of specu- lation as to the outcome in Novem ber. That Mr. Taft can not be elect: ed is the consensus of opinion almost everywhere. That Mr. Roosevelt has been defeated and put out of the run- ning fs not an uncommon expression. ‘That Mr. Bryan, a Democrat, will be the next President of the United States is an opinion shared by_not a few who know somathing about the situation. ‘The political fortunes of Mr. Taft or Mr. Roosevelt or even Mr. Bryan is a subject with which the Negro should not, at thie juncture. be con cerned. The situation, the country ‘over, offers to the Negto the one oP portunity of bis life, Too hasty a declar®¥6o upon bis part will work chis everlasting pdiitical ruin. A ‘calm and deliberate consideration of ‘the subject 1s what the Negro needs at this time. Lest we cast our lots to our sorrows, the safe~plan is to stand still until developments warrant ‘action. The country Is soon to be stirred to its depths by men of poli- tleal ambition and power; by men who will rosde to new and untried princ!- les to wih their political aims, re- wardiess of the final results, The ‘Negro must bear in wind that he has ‘a voice In the proceedings, and care should be exercised lest we speak at rbe morggat when silence ehould be maintained. @fr. Taft will show us’ many rea sons why we should be “regulars” Mr, Roosevelt will argue thit we could no nodiing vetter than to join ‘the “progressives.” The Democrats, the tant extremes may hold out're HReea assurances of protection. The only records to date which are com- plete and at our disposal for perusal are those containing the proceedings ‘at Chicagomwhere the “regular” Re publican platform was offered to the people. Without attempting to speak finals for the platform, we call atten- tion to the failure of the “regulars” to insert one plank declaring the at- titade of the :regulars’ toward the Negro. This failure, along with tbe ‘vealous determination to regulate trat- fic onthe: high seas ss well as the floods of the Mississipp! valley, may pe taien us some evidence of the real jaterest the “regulars” have in us. ‘As to Mr. Roosevelt and his new party, we have only to await develop ments, as nothing has been placed be fore the people as a declaration of the intentigns of the “progressives.” Granting that Mr. Roosevelt will have ‘as much tg say about the Progressive platform as Mr. ran ft about the Régular one, we are whrranted in sa)" ing that the Progressives will not for get ur altogether, If for no other rea son than a political one. ‘With’ the Democratic conventior now in session, and the fact that the yauch heralded new party decided tc postpone action until,after the conven thon at Ba'timore, much speculation a 10 a possible Rooserelt-Brvan combin ation is being indulged in by mei whase political knowiedge is abov the average. This theory, when tak ‘e0 with a realization of the close pros imity of the Progressive and Brvai platforms. seems to carry more thal mere speculative weight. Mr. Taft’ defeat conceded, and Mr. Bryan nom inated at Baltimore upon a Roosevel Brsan platform, there remains 1itt eft_but the voting. Ip any event, and some of the cot fectures are not at a! improbable, th Negro had Detter stand bis indeper Gent ground until he cam see for hir self what Js best for bim as'a whol Any declaration at this movent ma prove detrimental later “when thm ‘will have permitted a sober determis ation. Let us, for just once in ot /Metory, indolge in some sober [thought before we plunge imto what may prove our political graves. ANOTHER SERPENT IN HOME- peisseney _ - Again our attention {5 calied to the dastardly work o? some white’ men ‘in the Homewood District of our city “where the Negro population tas “grow to a surprising extent in the past tow years. We are informed that the Home wood Board of Trade, composed 0! merchants of Homewood. have adver tised a pleni®, to ve given at Kenny: wood park to which te schools of |the Homewood, Brushton and Crescent 'distpicts are invited. They adver: tise races and other sports to be held at this picnic, and they’ have likewise advertised that the. “committee’ re serves the right to determine who sball enter any and all contests.” “A special boys race” and “a spec- ial girls race” are among the feat- tures advertised, and it is understood that the Negro children from the schools invited wi.l be entered in these “special” races, and it is given out ‘with ae much emphasis that they will be excluded from all other faces and sports. : We as Negroes bave only to recail the conduct of these same Homewood white people two years ago at this same picnic when Negro children Were refused to enter any race. This special feature was addéd last year, but,the Négro children refused to be discriminated against and refused to be entered. Just recently one of the Homewood merchants advertised his wares by saving that no Negroes were employ- ed in the makizg or delivery of his goods, and thas kind of a sentiment now finds encouragement by the Homewood Board of Trade in charge of this picnic. ~ We do not demand any further proof of the effort of the poor white man to cultivate race prejudices; we see it on every hand as plainly as Patrick Henry saw the wae with Eng- land.? And we had just as ‘well get our Weapons of political war tagether and down this serpent growing to such proportions in Homewood, Our children shall not be made the target for these unscrupulous men.

Nor is our modern problem merely v patter of luxury: it {s in many clr- sles on*ide the realm of great wealth. 1 question of softness of living. There ‘= umong us a marked decay of virile cartness. We love esse; we shrink from self-denial. ‘And here, again. it is a situation that runs paraltel with np special 80- “ial class. Take the life of thé ordi- nary, every-day family. As a nation our atfitude toward the child {8 dan- seroutly indulgent. Mothers Innumer- able are slaving over work at which tholr faughters should be, but are not learning to help. Fathers innumer- able are so anxious to have thelr boys “rise in the world” that we find a bun- dred pgor clerks for one vacancy, while the manual trades are hela more and ntore in contempt. The re sult 1s a coming generation with wrong soctal standards, with little re- spect for discipline and duty and with no education for the Inevitable pains of life. ‘A generation not used to hardness of any sort will lack the moral sturdi- ness und the rugged moral discipline that makes a happy family life posst- ble. What, then, Is the gospel for “this age of ease? First—it 1s a gospel of work. The ceashtng of Christ iz exemplified in his life, With all the world to, choose place at a carpeater's shop and iden- [fos bimsel” with the plain peocle! Htemuas Chita te i heaps iteation crlwork.

They owe it to the world, too, to show that elegance and refinement may be combined with the enjoyment of tite higher things. ‘Third—Ours is‘a gospel of sacrifice. Christ's own sacrifice stands over against us as a challenge and appeal. “Though he were rich, yet for our ‘sakes be becamie poor.” Christ-stands over against the wills and hearts of men, inviting and attracting to sacri fice, demanding and claiming sacri- fice, welcoming sacrifice when it ts offered. 1 believe the gospel has failed to a certain extent in our day, just be- cause It has not been preached strong: ly on this side. We bave shade relig- fon easy instead of herole. -The world still at heart Icves the heroic, and will always respond -to ita call. Let a gospel of sacrifice—herote sacrifice —be preached more widely, and even an easeloving age will respond to its message. Mep will still do hard things if they have to see them as a vision splengids Fourth.—Ours le.a gospel of brother- hood. Not that Christianity first gave the Idea of brotherhood to the world —tae Roman Terence won 3 storm of applause in the theater by a line in one of his plays which sald the’ same thing. But Christianity took the idea and set it at work. Our social serv- Ice must be brotherly service. It asks not "Am I my brother's keeper?” Many & man or woman of leisure has lterally found a new birth, with pos- sibilities of happiness hitherto un- dreamed, in the effort to give that question an affirmative answer. Finally—Ours 1s the gospel of the other world. It people are to live simply and to work unselfishly for the good of others, it must be for a bet- ter reason than that this is the wisest and noblest thing for the life that now is, That thought may help, but 1¢ will not Inspire. The supreme and moving force can be found only In the life that is to come. To make life here a better Wnd happler thing becomes a noble aim, inspiring to high serv- ico only when the cdaviction is firm that life here 1s an entrance into life hereafter. Yes, there is luxury and luxury, ease that makes us forget God, and ease that makés us omly more con- sclous of heavenly blessings that are to ba. . THE WORD MELODRAMA ORIGINALLY MEANT A PLAY IN WHICH MUSIC WAS INTRO- DUCED. Nowadays “melodrama” is in gen- eral use as denoting a purely sensa tional play, with an all but tmposstble hero. heroine and villain among the characters represented. Formerly the word kept more closely in‘its sig: nification to actual derivation. “Mel odrawa” 1s compounded of the Greek words melos, a song, and drama, an action, a play, and was applied to two sorta of performances when it first came into use. It sigulfied a play, generally of the romantic school, in which the dia Inge was frequently rélfeved” by music, <ometimes of an incidental and sometimes of a purely dramatic character. On the strength of his “Pygmalion” J. J. Rousseau is credit ced with the invention gf this strle. Sha of the soca ies opera ot the clder school, sucliles the once femous “iessar’s Opera” and the once popular “No Song, No Supper,” are iu ality true melodramas. In the second place “melodrama” was applied 2B a peculiar kind of the: strical composition in which the actor recited his'part in an ordinary speak. ing voice, while the orchestra played a more or less elaborate accompant neat «ppropriate to the situation and calettated to bring its salient features into the bighest possible relief. The inerlt of the invention of tais descrip- tion of melodrama belongs to George Benda, who used it with striking ef fect in his “Ariadne auf Naxos.” pro- duced at Gotha in 1774.—London Globe. BUTTERFLY EFFECTS. There is at present a craze for but: rerMy effects, The design flutters on parasol tops, on smart vellings, and Is worked in worderful iridescent effects on the new trimmiuss. ‘The, winged favorite is used also as shoe buckles, brooches, colffure orna- ments and beauticul designs are seen in enamels and strall diamonds. Black, satin and velvet butterfly bows edged with brilliams or tolored stones are lovely. The material is slipped Inte a frame, and thus any color can. be added to the diamoné’s rimmed bow.
