July 6.—The nam- ing by Mayor Curley of Charles C. Dogan, a Negro boy, honor pupil at the English High Schvol, to read the Declaration of Independence from the balcony of the Old State Houre in connection with the July Fourth exer- cies, atirred three foriner Bostontans now living In Charlottee, N. C., to write a letter to the Mayor objecting to the noming of the Nexiv boy for this duty. These men, Thoms F. Armstrong, J. Frank McClelland and Frank Dal- ton, wrote Mayor Curley, saying in part: “Being former Bostontuns, and still residents of Boston, fn the apirit Af not body, and further knowing the Negro as we knwo them, we protest such a. appointment on the grounds of a dehberate Inxult to the Boston school boy and the average Bostonian The South would not allow such an -appointment to be mude and we be- dieve knowing both siles as we do, that what this section will not toler- ate should not he accepted by the city of our birth. We make the above pro- test aware that the question of tuce fhas never been settled, bue we feel .as all here clo, in the supremacy of the white race.” ‘These men asked Mayor Curley to fet them hear from him on the sub- fect and he gratified their desire. In a vitriolic letter, brimming with In- Aignant defiance of their xo-called su- perior attitude, he declared that their letter was the betrayal of-the princi- plea and an insult to the traditions of Boston and they deserved only -scorn and contempt. He told of young Dogan’s accomplishments, referred to the Négro race's record in defense of this country and in making “the world safe for democracy,” and sald that “any man of any race willing and worthy to serve the flag and die for the republic is worthy to have his place in the aun of American Demoe- racy.” ‘The letter written by Mayor Curley waswas In part as follows: “I have seldom received a letter from any source 0 lacking in good manners, so devold of Americanism, go destitute of knowledge of the prin- @iples and practices of our govern- ment, and so offensively and stupidly impertinent, It ls some satisfaction to konw that thia ill-mannered effusion ‘was not written by any native Caro- nian; for while Massachusetts and + Carolina may differ profoundly on the face question, both are as one in rec- egniting the necessity of practising spoliteness and observing the conven- tions of decent »ociety 1a coirespon- WEEK DAY SERMONETTES oe By Dr. H.

I betieve in rotation and believe it to be the only true method of make ing our Bishops connectional Bishops, As the matter now stants if a Bishop fiom another district is xeen in ours, the people are wonilering what he is luohme for; “Doex he want thie dite trict?" Bishop Lee, who ix now our renior Bishop, has from the time of Lis Ucetlon been contined tu a com= patatlvely small terntory, Now mat- ter how well prepaied and qualified to Impuit new life aml new ideas In diferent parts o fthe country, he, like Bishop Payne, has by our district plan, been kapt from meeting the people of the connection. He should have by this time presided over evory Conference in the Union, Then there is Bishop Smith, our present Histori- ographer who doubtless will give to us many valuable historical facts os gathered here and there; but will not be able to give us the facts from per- sonal survey, which rotation would have given him since his elevation to the Bishopric in Columbua, Ohio, Let me appeal to every Bishop on the bench and every active minister inthe connection to move up out of your own way and out of your own light. Work at the next General Conference for rotation of Bishops. They belong to the whole connection and ought to be allowed to meet and preside over all conferences. Bishop Heard has said that in his visit to different churches in the Eplecopal Districts, he finds no uniform ayatem of wor ship and also other methods he finds out of harmony with our church poll- ty. R, R. Wright in some of his recent Euitorialts calla attention to like facta. 1 attribute the evils to the District custom. So let'y break them up and have rotation and let’ go back to the early custom of moving our ministers ‘every three or four years, Make five years the mit for both pastor and presiding elder. The only way out as A nee it is the rotation route and the breaking up of the district plan, The constant returning of some of the Bishops to the District and moving others every four years, breeds dise content in the ministry and also caus- es in the Jaity, Many of the large and some of the smaller churches are jclamorous for the return of their pas- jtors for the sixth, seventh and eighth year, On top of this the World fn its re- ‘port, states “Dr, Moton has consist- ently stood for a white personnel $n comand and Tuskegee citizens are favoruble to him.” Unless Dr, Mo- ton has been misunderstood, the Worll's reports brings him forward aso traitor to his race for it ja known that the mujority of the Negroex ‘want Negro physicians from the top to the bottom, Director Hines {a reported to have visited the hospital on last Tuesday and St is understood that following a conference he agreed to man the hos- pital with whites, Dr, Moton is on his vacation, ———_o——.

This commission will aleo be ex- pected by the church to make wise and safe deposits and when the state of the treasury will permit, make loans and apply the interest there- from to the better support of the sup- erannuated preachers and orphans and widows, However I think that no meney collected by the churches to assist the financial department to take care of the widows, orphans and sup- erannuates and orphans should be sent to persons living in districts where pastors and churches raise no money for that purpose.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING THE natural inclination in man, when he is lost in the woods, or is floundering around in business for which he is ont qualified, is to move around in a circle. The carrier pigeon flies straight to his destination; the horse goes unguided through the darkest night to hi stable. A man may have genius or merely ordinary talent, but if he cannot move straight ahead, think clearly, and keep his mind on his work, he is plodding around and around, arriving at the end of the year at about the same spot from which he started, still befuddled, and decidedly lesscourageous. Such a man, and there are thousands, of them, is not built for success. He is apt to take no reckoning of his progress until someone beside him who has been thinking effectively in straight lines moves up where opportunity is greater and refard isicher. This rude awakening causes but a temporary shock to his numb sensibilities, lasting perhaps a day or two, but producing in him no material change for the better. If any serious doubt as to his ability should come to him at such a time as this, it is instantly banished as too burdensome, and he continues his aimless trot in the old circle. He doesn't ask himself whether he is dependable, whether he thinks constructively or whether he thinks at all. He doesn't ask whether he is given to watching the clock and stealing away frequently from his work to inhale the aroma of his favorite cigarette. He doesn't ask whether he in all his time in his present position has made a single suggestion of value to his employer. Oh, not! He has the faculty to avoid dubious obligations, especially those that would be likely to impose upon him an additional stroke of work, or interfere with his plans for pleasure among his night associates. Such a man is not qualified for straight thinking or straight going. He is not capable of handling things with intelligence and in the depths of his heart he knows it. He is a failure and for no other reason I n'the world than his own perverseness in moving in the old circle—wandering about the best part of his life in the wilderness. FIND 2000 YEAR OLD SKELE TON IN SCOTLAND Edinburgh.—A grave, believed to be 2000 years old, has been discovered in Kincardineshire, Scotland. Dugging in his farm, a Catterline farmer came upon a peculiarly marked slab about four feet below the surface, and under this were four other slabs of larger size. Beneath all was a full-size human skeleton, with an ancient urn beside the skull. Antiquarius pronounce the grave to be typical of the Bronze age, and experts are further investigating the discovery. "DAY BY DAY" By Douglas Malloch Step by step we walk the way. With their smile or tear, All our days are only one And that day is here! Day by Day, as chip by chip Sculptors shape the stone, In moment's fellowship, In the hours alone, So we shape the thing we are, Not the thing we seem, What yesterday afar, What tomorrows gleam. Day by day! We cannot wait For tomorrow. We From the present must create All we are to be, What we are to be depends on no future hour, But the hand that plants and tneds Now the opening flower. Day by day we upward go, So we build the stair; Do today the best you know, Building firm and fair. They who conquer in the strife, They who win, are they who, through every day of life, Do thir best today! It is easy eo tell the toiler How best he can carry his pack; But no one can rate a burden's weight until it has been on his back. Ella Wheeler Wilcox The hot fruit drinks, called soups by the Scandinavian people, are much more healthful than fruit cocktails, and better as an appetizer. A good fruit drink, even at the end of a meal is much better than a cup of coffee. THE KITCHEN CABINET APPLE TEA—Wash and cut one good-sized apple into quarters without paring it, then slice each quarter into four pieces. Pour one cupful THREE DAYS YESTERDAY, TODAY, TOMORROW By Lennora Smallwood Carter There are two ways of wastig life and only one way of using it. First.—There are those who mourn for the departed yesterdays and regret and plan for what the might have done. Second.—There are those who are forever planning for the tomorrow they will never see. "I will let opportunity knock at my door. tomorrow," but tomorrow never comes; it is only a name for putting off. It is the other name for procrastination; the real name for failure. There are so many who waste time of yesterdays and tomorrows and do not use "today." I have visited several homes for old most was in Boston, Mass. In this women. The one that impressed me home a laundry was conducted here in the heat and noise. These old people (about 24 of them) worked from eight o'clock in the morning until 5 tion and wages of from one to four it was) to keep the mfrom starvaplace to sleep, enough food (such as o'clock in the afternoon, earning a dollars per week. Why were they here? Because they had not used their today, but had put off until tomorrow. Each had a bad story to tell; at the end of each someone would say 'If I had only known this years ago things would have been different for me now.' Just because they did not use their today when they had the opportunity, they are now longing for yesterday. Yesterday is dead; tomorrow's sun may never rise; today is always today; use it. Today means starting something; getting at it. Yesterday is only regretting; tomorrow means putting off and planning but never starting. Planning and regretting are easy. They are done in the minds of every failure. (Even in the insane asylum). But using today is only done in the minds that can concentrate. You have youth, use your todays. Do not put off for tomorrow or you will be like the old women in the laundry working when you should have rest and comfort. * Tomorrow's fate though thou be wise. Thou canst not tell nor yet surprise, Pass therefore not today in vain, For it will never come again." NEGROES, SENTENCED TO DEATH, ARE FREE Six Men, Who Were to Die for Elaine, Ark, Insurrection, Are at Liberty After Two Convictions.

DRINK MORE WATER.We need to make an effort to drink good, fresh water-at least two or three quarts daily-besides the fluid taken at the meals. Physicians tell us if we drink enough water while eating reasonably of the right, kind of food, we will be relieved of salicatica, lumbago and constipation and a score of other lills. If we could realize the necessity of plenty of water, the body being over $ \% $ water in its composition, we would form the habit of frequent drinking of water. The skin, mucuous membranes, kidneys and other organs need much water to function promptly and properly, and when it is denied them the body rebels and we suffer all sorts of lills.

Warden Hamp Martin had no orders to receive them, he said, and refused to admit them. They were set free. Recovering from their bewilderment, the six, with attending relatives and attorneys, climbed into automobiles and returned to Little Rock to spend the night as they planned for the first time since three and 4-4 years ago, when they were arrested and charged with complicity in the uprising which resulted in the death of several white persons and an undetermined number of Negroes. Supreme Court Ordered Dismissal An opinion of the Arkansas Supreme court directed the dismissal of the case against the Negroes on presentation of the defense counsel that asserted that two terms of court in Lee county, where their third trial had been set, had passed without their having been brought to trial. The Negroes, Ed Ware, Joe Fox, John Martin, Alf Banks, Albert Giles and Will Worlow, agreed before leaving the penetentiary grounds that they would meet in the office of an attorney in Little Rock at 11 o'clock this morning. Further action on their status is expected at that time. Six Others in Pen. . . . Six other Negro defendants in the Elaine affair are in the penetentlary here awaiting action of Federal Judg Jacob Tleber on their attorney's habeus corpus plea, which was based on the alleged ground that they did not receive a fair trial at Helena, Phillips' county, the locality of the insurrection. The first reversal of the verdict of guilty and sentence of death in the case of the Negroes at liberty today was caused by the failure of the jury to name the offense for which they found the defendants guilty. Their verdict was "guilty as charged." Reversal in the second conviction and death sentence was based on the fact that no Negroes were on the jury which found the six guilty, the supreme court declaring that they had not therefore been guaranteed a fair trial. A large and appreciative crowd attended the band concert at the City Park on Thursday evening. This was the 1st out-door concert to be given by Jackson's Band this season.

THE BEA Just a Litt THE BEACON LIGHT TOO MUCH MILLER It is seldom that any individual complains of holding too conspicuous a place in any important movement, especially if that position is likely to carry with it a signal honor. But now here comes Kelly Miller complaining that there is too much Miller in the calling together of the proposed all-Negro conference. His exact words follow: "The committee on publication of the All-Race Conference sent out a story under the caption of 'Kelly Miller's All-Race Conference.' At least several editors published the data under that caption. This was misleading and unfortunate. I claim no proprietorship in this movement. I fear that too much Miller may grind the grist too finely. I have no copyright on the movement, and claim no pride of priority.

I would gladly efface myself from the movement entirely if I deemed such an effacement advantageous to the main proposition. The Aliphies, a conference for all schools of Race Conference is, as its name impinion and shades of thinking within the circumference of our racial interests. I did not call the conference. This call was issued by the six civil rights organizations which assembled in New York City last March. Because of my known interest and devotion to the idea I was made chairman of the central committee on arrangements. Associated on this committee are members of the civil rights organizations above referred to as as well as numerous other eminent persons representative of the various organizations and activities of the race. The committee wants every organization to feel that it has an equal share and an equal voice in this conference. If I have been active and zealous in this behalf it was only because the leadership through the committee was imposed in me. God forbid that narrowness and personal jealouay, which so often frustrate our efforts at union, should raise its hideous head ni the proceedings leading 13.

I am willing to join in the chorus of all ardent and devoted advocates of race cohesion and raceunion: 'Surely the captain may depend on me, if only an armor bearer I may be.' " It is with a great deal of gratification that we publish the reply of Mayor Curley to those red-neck alleged native Bostonians who criticised him for appointing Charley Dogan to real the Declaration of Independence on the Boston Common. Here is a case where a city official had the necessary courage and backbone to stick to his decision in the matter of appointing a colored boy on his merit to a position of honor. We knew Charley when he was a student at Booker Washington High School in Norfolk, Va. He is the type of boy, who, if given a chance will always get ahead, and if not given a chance he will make it. We remember one particular creditab thing that this young man did: While in the southern school aforementioned, he was compelled to leave and go to the country for his health. Upon returning, he decided that he would rather go to Boston. So his father, who is the secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in Norfolk, promised him a dollar for every dollar he saved during the summer, thinking to match at the most, twenty-five dollars, but Charley fooled him by saving more than a hundred dollars. Yet Charles, Senior, never paid out a hundred dollars more cheerfully than he did that one. Such is the type of boy that all Boston honored the Fourth of July just past, fall to the mulattoes. We wonder how Marcus Garvey attributes his downour old friend, Dr. Bundy feels, knowing his chief has that view of persons of his particular complexion. Valedictories always bring tears to the eyes of the one who writes them at least. It is with the profoundest regret when one is forced by circumstances over which he has no control to give up a temporary home which he has hoped to make permanent. But that occasion arises in everyone's life at some particular time. Some persons have to write them more often than others, depending upon their occupations and temperament. Howeve, a valedictory is not by any means a swan song, as it usually presages something higher. ST. JOSEPH, MO. extended visit to different points in Mrs. J. T. Aldridge is making an the east.
