The carrying of the clection means no additioval tax on the prop ers owners but gives thé board of education authority of levying on the public funds for a sufiicient amount to run the schools. The overwelming vote for the tas was caused largely by the publi. city given the election by the news pa- Pers and the ardent work of the teach. ers, both white “and colored. Supt. Gibson was much pleased with the entire vote ‘and expressed his gratt fication at the large Negro vote. It ig estimated by the lending Negro men who kept tab on the colored vote that out of the five hundred odd Negro vot: ers there were less than a hundred who failed to cast their ballot and that of those voting not one could be found who put in a,negative vote. The col- ored teachers worked feverishly for the election and every Negro voter was collored the day before the elec tion and impressed with the necessity ot appearing at the polls and casting 2 votesin favor of the tax levy. Thelt efforts in stirring up the colored vote were yery noticeable on every side. FRIENDS MAKE MERRY | WS BIRTHDAY - In commemoration of his—birthday, eight of Prof, S. A.

In fact, the grounds have proven so attractive to the youngsters that the paraphernalia installed has been found far too Umited -and those in charge have been put to thelr wits’ end to provide for all the chfldren, While the grounds were fitted up primary for the eastside children yet youngsters from the extreme west side of the city not having any, such provision made for them, have flocked over to the grounds and the spot takes more the appearance of a general municipal playground than one pro- yided for only the east-siders. The League, however, contemplates opening in the near future, a similar play- ground on the west side. 7 Searcely had the -opening festivities been compreted when the hundreds of boys and girls waiting around iching to try out the new swings, sea saws, sand beds and various courts ran over one another for the first opportunity of ‘chrisfening” as they put it, the first playground -In this elty installed for Negro children.

In automobiles we were e-corted te the headquarters, which is a aue Mory brick building owned by the Ne- sto Waiters’ Association, of greater Kansas City, which building is used for the purpdve of training young men jn the art of waiting and serving in first class hotels, restaurants. cafes, etc. After having registered and assigned to ie our several stopping places, then the renewing of old acquaintances and sight seeing hezan, as there were no sessidns to be held until Wednesday morning, sAugust 16th, Tepresentatives from all parts of this, our country were ow hand to see that their local league take dn active part in what ever wax done for the Negro business men and women in this country, in the niatter of placiug on re- cord news and progressive ideas as to the best methods of conducting sue- cesssfully, the special lines in which they are engaged, Many of us took advantage of the opportunity afforded us to go into uiany of the local Negro enterprises and see tor ourselves just how our west- ern brethren engaged in basiness com- pare with the men and womeh of the south, who are engaged in similar lines. Just what our conclusions are we have decided to keep, at least, for the time being. Sufflee ft to say, however; that ithe Negro engaged in business whosd training for it wae gained in the great southern univemity of “hard-knocks,” is indeed, a hoxt fe neckon with. Hany of our mex and women whe are ‘ensaged in prisiness in greater Kansas City, are doing well, To the credit of the race in greater Kansas City, are two drug stores, tro shoo stores, one dry goods store, efght saloens, ane six- story YX GA builaing, which is modern and complete in every respect, Jone « flower stra sereral millinery stores, quite a nveaber of hish-class phy siclane and dentists, 2 lerge number ‘of profeadonal mex aud women, such 26 of our-men engaged in the real estate business aud many of them seem to he doing well, The real estate firm headed by F. J, Weaver, the president, of the Igcal business league of that city, is regarded as among the best in that section of the country. The real estate firm of Stewart and Smith, the sentor ‘member, Mr. L. C, Stewart, an old Geor- }zia boy, who, by the way, is a first cousin of our own Captain A. I, Hern- don, of Atlanta, Ga., has one of the best equipped real estate office in the mid- dle west. These youg men know thier business in their special line, and one is not around them long before: he will be impressed with the fact that these men are not novices bus seasoned real estate men, On Wednesday morning promptly at the stated time the meeting was called to order by the president of the local league. After 2 number of welcomes by quite a number of representatives of the local league, as well, as a number of other organizations and citizens, his honor, the mayor, was represented by the chairman of the upper assembly of councilmen of greater Kansas City. After these generous words of welcome had been extended to the visiting de- legates and their friends by members of the loéal league and the mayor's re- presentative, able responses were made by men who call things by their natur- al names. Aaj ‘The lack of tlme aud space forbids that we attempt to enter Into any de- tailed explanation with reference to the personnel of men, nor even the great measures which many of them repre- sent, ax business factors of the race, and still, we would be pleased to tell you of the ex-slave, Mr. David Chiles, near Topeka, Kan. who marketed seven hundred and fifty dollars worth of water melons in one season, to say nothing of the price of the other truck which went away down in to the poc- kets of his homemade jean trousers. The name of J. G. Groves is too well known to create excitement at its mem- tion kere, and who is known the coun- try over as the “Potato King pt Aweri- «” Tle, Mr. Groves, was ou hand, though modest as a cyuntry girl, to answer certain questions propounded by men who really wanted to know how ft happened. After some questioning hy many of the really interesting gentle men present, Mr. Greves finally said: “This has beer a very bad year for potato growers. We had teo much rain to bezin with, and not enouzh at the time it was needed.” ‘Then Mr. Groves attempted to sit down, but someone raced up In the audienge and said: “Tell us Mr. Groves, how many potatoes did you make this year?” Well, said Mr. Groves, “I sold thirty-two thousand bushels.” After liberal applause, Mr. Groves was allowed to take his seat. 7. A. Waring of Yazoo, Miss., followed who owns eight hundred bales of cot- roa, which averaged fifty dollars to he hale. It is said that the other fel- low has to do a thing only a few times pefore the dusky <on of Ham will be rying to turn the same trick, be it for his weal or woe. The more we think about thls old saying, the more | re have hesun to think it is tre. | The Negro like the other fellow, has o have his millionaire, too. Mr. Wiley Fines of Onkland, Cal., the man with he reputation of growing more prunes han any other Negron the world, was, spied in that vast audience of Negro men and women who do things, amt was urged to come to the platferm and his he consented to do only after some arnest persuasion. This plainly dressed. mnestentetions business man cape, all he way from Oakland, Cal,. t 0 Ran- as City, Mo., to inspire the young Ne- ro men who are comipg in great horde »nd numbers from our various schools 1d colleges every year, and says to hem: “zo thou and do likewise.” —_| Thoxe of us who aie interested in he perpetuity of the Negro inte league, should not have any yfear as, 0 what the final outeome of this great ; reanization will be. ‘The men behind | t are determined to see to it that it | pe kept alive, | The Hon. J. C. Napier, the former | ‘we hoped it would be from the stand- point of numbers. We do hope and trust that the progressive citles and towns of Georgia will yet sce the wis- dom of organizing a local league in their respective communities. In the mean time, it is up to the Savannah local league to see.to it that a lve up-to-date staté organization be had in the south’s empire state. Come early to your next méeting, Wednesday evening Sept, Oth. and bring a friend with you and let's throw away our Jittle hatchets before we get hurt with them and let’s make this league, which mean so much to thé Ne- gro {in this community, the power- ful agency in the Negro's uplift, which It can and will be, provided we do our whole duty as business men should.

FAIRBANKS Of Indiana Saturday August 26th, 1916 In the square fronting one of our churches Sunday afternoon lost, a number of white boys wore gathered in a group sitting in the grass engaged in a game of cards. We did not see any money but one small fellow was heard to say he had no more money to lose in the game. In this square these boys take delight in creating much disorder especially during the services of the church. There should be some relief. Would this be tolerated in the proximity of any of the white churches? --- The opening of a playground for Negro children by the Urban League is a stop which every Negro parent of the city appreciates. Municipal playgrounds have been promised Negroes by the city authorities now for some thing over two years but as yet none has been forthcoming and it looks now as if nothing further than the promise will be realized along this line. The Urban League is to be congratulated in providing as best it can for the welfare of our children and deserves in this as in its many other uplift efforts the united support of every Negro man and woman. Horrortyflag and repugn it so the highest degree were the reports published in the daily press of the morning in Florida last year. Negro men and the Negro women cause, it is, that it is intended to secrete a white bloodthirsty. We are wanton murder can be named and yet Negroes are only by some of their so called white friends for leaving this section for other parts of the country where protection is afforded them. Such actions as this of the barbarous Florida mob and those of other southern states are not apt to discourage the Negro in his desire to seek other aliens but rather they will make him more determined to seek other abodes where his life will not be in jeopardy at all times and his opportunities for happiness and a quiet pursuit of his life work at least surrounded by a reasonable amount of protection. Gratifying beyond expression must be the result of Wednesday's election which held in balance the opening of our public schools. The issue was so inconsequent that it is scarcely possible to imagine how the vote could have gone other than as it did and yet strange things have happened and now that it is all over every loyal Savannahian, though he felt within himself that the schools would win out, is breathing a sigh of relief that the question of the school tax levy is done for once and all time and that there is now no obstacle to hamper the education of our children. We are pleased to find that the negative vote was almost negligible and delighted beyond words at the large Negro vote in favor of the tax. It shows that our men are vitally interested in the welfare of our children and are ever ready to lend whatever assistance they can to furthering their educational advancement. Last Monday night a colored boy rode his bicycle on the side walk on West Broad street. The officer, who saw him thought it a very serious offense, therefore in attempting to arrest the boy shots were fired at him. The frightened boy was apprehended and it is claimed beaten. The arresting officer was justly suspended. At a hearing afterwards he was reinstated. Those who witnessed the affair are indignant at its termination and protest the reinstatement of the officer who without just cause endangered human life. We feel that Chief Meldrum will not for a moment uphold an officer whenever a wrong is com- mitted. When the hearing was given the suspended officer, all who knew about the affair should have been present and submitted their evidence. NEWS FROM BEAUFORT; S. C. At Grace A. M. E.

The recital at St. Paul last Monday night was poorly attended and yet those who attended the affair enjoyed it, for it was high-class. Brunswick ought to begin to patronize home talent. Dr. S. C.

It is true that expenses cannot always be avoided or foreseen, but it is also true that they can be provided for in advance. And the way to do so is to save something every pay day, Then when unexpected expenses arise, when illness occurs, or when employment is gone, you will have the money so urgently needed. The feeling of satisfaction is being able to meet your bills is one that no man of spirit would willingly forego.

Tam delighted to be in the world and Bare no desire to-ieare it, yet at times there are things which remind me Stat I must leave here some day, but I do not know the day. So many ane passing out. I am now on the eve of the Nafional Baptist Conventiea, and they tell me that they are going to pile into Savannah in great shape. am going to be the guests there of St. ‘Philip A.M. B. Church, Rey. R. H. Singleton, pastor, and of the C. M. B. Church, ‘Rev. Martin, pastor, and this menas that Iam going to enjoy my- self. Then the ‘paper is going to ree to me getting aroupd some. I have been doing some moving since I wrote you last. I was in Kansas City, Kan., leet week, and each day I went over to Kansas City, Mo. tc attend the National Negro Business League. There is nothing new about that meeting, except to say to yew that Hon. J. C. Napier, of Nashville, was 4 strong sentiment to make Dr. Robert 1. Moton, the president of Tus kegee Institute, president. The nomi- nating cémmittee stood six for Moton and one for another man, but event- ually they settled on Mr. Napier, asd he was ofcourse elected. I am sufe he will make a good president, and having worked with Dr. Washington, it fs but just and right that he should Ibe his successor, | Ar. Emmott J. Scott, the secretary of the League was re-elected to his po- sition, and took hold as before. That man was just horn to lead and write, and he is one of the greatest mon of bur race, although there is not much fuss made about it. People opened ist eyes and looked at him when he read the Booker T. Washington memorial address before the league. He was the man to write it, and he did write it, , Mr. Scott Is not going to stop at merely writing a memorial address, Inut he is going to dramatize “Up from Sluvery” under the name of “Birth of a Race” and it will open the eyes of the civilized world, Already this work is in progress; the moving rieture man is at work getting out | he scheme, and when it is placed on canvas, it will be a true picture of life and will not be an exaggeration of facts. It will not be for the pur- pose of putting one race against an- other, but will show race love, it will jshow the wonderful pregress made by the race, centering around that great charaeter, Booker T. Washington and another great man, Frederick Dous- lars and others like that. . 1 thank God for Emmett J. Scott, that will be in ft, but you take that master snind of Wmmett J.

The investiture of the apron form? an essential part of the cere- /mony o Initiation, and was attended with rites equally significant and im- pressive. With the Essenian Masons, it was accomplished by 2 process hear- ing a similar tendency, and accompan- fed hy illustrations not less imposing and saticfactory to the newly initiated inquirer. He was clothed in a long white robel’ which freached to thr ground, bordered with fringe of bine ribbon, tq Incite nersonal holiness, and fastened tightly around the waist with a girdle to separate the heart from the lower and more impure parts of the hody. With bare feet and hend uncov- ered, he was considered a personifi- cation of modesty, humility -and the fear of God.—Select. 9 To love abundantly is to live abun- dantly.—Selected.

The result will likely be that ho becomes timid, loses the courace of convictions, secks the point of least resistance, fs content to rest npon his ‘oars, adopts the polity of laissez-faire, land makes up his mind to adhere to the beaten path rather than risk mn- rons and therefore simply drifts. ‘Do not Imagine that I am deséribing ‘my own mental stafe in making these olxervations.—Sclected. soe “e;Whatsoever a man soweth, that and nothing else shall he also reap. That which ive are doing, good or evil,/grave or gay; that which we do today we shall do tomorrow ;.each thought, each feeling, each action, each event; each passing hour, each breathing-moment, all are contributing to form the charac- ter according to whith we are to be judged. Every particle of influence that goes to form that aggrezate— our character—will in that future scrutiny, be sifted out from the mass and, par- ticle by particle, with ages perhaps, intervening, fatl a distinct contribu- tion to the sum of our joys or woes. ‘Thus, every idle word and every idle hour will answer in the judgement. Tet us take care, therefore, what we sow."—Morals and Dogma. Is Our Masonry Progressive? Following is an excerpt from the address of Grand Master Robert Jud: | son Kenworthy to the Grand Lodge of |New York: | We are in am age of progress. The world has its serious application te the affairs of the day. t also has Sts references, facetlously, perhaps. to the polities of the time; but progress 1s ‘Jn definite term. It means advance | ment, not retrogression; it means im. provement, not failure; it means on Jsvard and forward, not looking hack |‘ward or dismal retreat. | Is our Masonry progressive or are [wo making it a factor only of the lodge ‘|room? Are we content to remain in- | trenched in mysticism, to confer degrees | to make Masons and then forget them, || excepting, perhaps, as thelr names arc added to our roll—leaving them muz Jzlea as to its secrets hut bewildered | and lamentably untaught of those deer underlying truths inculeated in the J days when quality not quantity was |the watchword of the Craft? Tf our drift is away from and not toward its highest idenls and traditions {slowly, but surely the vitality which sustains it will slip away, and I say | without] ‘neditut{or, our Fraternity} | will cease to appeal tp intelligent men. It will become nothing but a pummery, a jargon of signs and baubles, titles and platitudes—for we sill follow the shadow “and not the substance. JI might well hesitate to charge this great gathering of thoughtful nfen as em, thn date Cam € eaation there are bre are our examples; their deeds are our admiration; their work our standard; | but we are spaced with conditions con fronting us; forees not yet met with while our country was young; elements constantly arising in our civil life that must needs have our consideration if the heritage of our fathers is to pass beyond our times, and it 1s with some- ‘thing of gravity. ' I venture to ask you to stop with 'me for a gaze Into the future to see | whether we can create for our Mason- ry a new Spirit, blended of ancient ‘tradition and modern endeavor; a real vital power for good in the world; a rising to duty not circumscribed bytiled doors, or words, or signs; an open service to be known of all men for the good that it renders. ( Seay is not political in the sense in whieh frou and I are partisans; but I do maintain there is a relationship hetween Masonry “and good citizenship to which our Craft must awaken if it ix to fulfill dt\ highest —aission, The making of Masons will be for naught if we simply continue impress- ing our novitiates with its secrets and mysteries. ! ‘The lesson ineuleated in the charge to our Entered Apprentice is of the greatest import to our day and xeue- ration. You know the words; are we alive to their importance? Do we re repeat them slowly, looking our brother ;Straizht in the eye, and making him ‘feel thelr application is away and be ' yond the seeret work of the Craft; that | they, fit him fo face his duty in the world; to spread the light of bis es- Lample and the foree of our Maconic precept and teaching and help to be- | come a better and stronger part of our civie life?—Exchange.

C., and make it a national headquarters for that organization and a Mecca for the Negro race at large. Thousands of our race come to Washington every year, for one reason and another, and it has long Leen a cherished idea that this stately mansion, overlooking the Potomac and the capitol, should be made an inpirational center for the Negroes of the entire land, just as Mount Vernon is the rallying-point of the Caucasian American, to which pil- xrimages are made day by day through- out the seasons. The plan outlined by the Federation of Colored Women took difinite form at the recent convention at Baltimore and negotiations were entered into im- mediately with the trustees of the Frederick Douglass Historical Associa- tion, which has the home in charge under an act of Congress, the particn- Jars of which the writer will go into at a later date, This board comprising among others, Mr. A. H. Grimke, Rev. Francis J. Grimke, Whitfield MsKin- Jey, Dr. W. H. Grogan, Dr. J. E. Moor- land, and Prof. H. H. Sart, has not heen able in the years that it has man- aged the affairs of the property, to clear off the $4,000 mortzage that bas hung over it"like a pall, and it is a painful fact that the homestead has Tun dow so physically that it will take 2 considerable sum of mouey to~put it into decent shape for the purposes the women have in mind, Mr. Whit- field McKinley and family have been Yiving on the place as caretakers, but there being no money available for im- provements, the mansion has become sadly out of repair, Its a God-send that some agency has stepped into whe arena to make this suered shine what it ouzht le. A large delegation representing the Federation jonrneyed here from Tatti- more to look the property ever and te discuss terme with the board. drs. Mary 1. Talbert of Buffalo. N. ¥., the nenly elected president, headed ihe party, cuprted by Misy Marie A.D. Hadro, president of the Federa- tion of the District of Coluuibia, Misx Nannie I. Burroughs, principal of the National Training Schoo}, lent valua- Me assintance, and Judge Robert 1H. "ferrell, who has always evinced a lively interest in all mevements that tended to preserve the memory of the 4romortal Douslass, accompanied the ladies as special advicor as to” renl- ty figures and legal forme in connec: tion with the proposed arrangements. The property fy sat to worth about $67,000 and covers abont fifteen acres. With the mortgage to be paid off and tho house smd gyounds to he put into satiefactory condition, together with ether xecesary expenses. it is enti: nated that no Tess than $15,000 wi he required. Tow to raise thix amount and to earry the ruming expenses «f the home, a pedfem that com fronts the Federation, and the details touching between, the organization and the {rnstece and’ the mothers decided ‘pon to finanee the great project wilt he given us they develop. It ix expect- e1 that the country at large will be axkel to help and it may be the Jongh public spirit can now he aiovs- ed in the movement to erystalize into atren the dreams that the fxnders have een indulging in since ve death of the “Sage of .Anacestia.” The history of the “rallies” inangn- rated for the payment 6f the omni- nicsent mortgace 45 familiar to every, colofed Americnn. The trustees start cl ont to raise the money antl failed to score. Conmess was appealed to, hnt the matter could not get beyond 1 formation state. Dr. Booker T. Washington succeeded in building up 2 inicleus of an endowment fund. int | was too busy with other matters to complete the work. Mr. Ralph Tyler took hold and tried to make a nation- wide campaign, but failed to make an impression, Several fraternities sought ent for the colored divisions, This will be in accord with the wishes of 93 ver cent. of the patrons and puplls of the colored schools of the District, as the masses have no confidence in the present regime and their interest has lagged becaure of the widespread feel- ing that a “square deal” cannot be had as long as the head is unchanged. The cleun sweep of the three sitting mem- bers of the board meant that the old | situation was unsatisfactory, — The new Board understands that a thoro- ugh cleaning of the Augean stables is expected by the force which put them in charge of the educational at- fairs of the District. For the first time in many years the “anti-machine” element has a warring majority on the board, and the people insist that an era of reform be inaugurated at once. Topics of the Town Mr. Wade H. Carter, formerly of Kentucky, but now charged to the state of California, has been promoted from Copyist at $900 to clerk to$1,000 in General Land Office, Interior De- partment. Mr. Carter is a prnetical printer, a graduate of the Howard University Law School and fs a young mun of brillant and esecutive ability. see | Mr. William H. Brown of Louis- ville, Ky., now in the military secstce on the Meslean border, is soon to re- lieved from duty in the United States army and will be appointed to a posi- tion in the civil wing of the sovern- ment at Washington. ene Mr. Lowell W. Baker, suprintendent of construction in the Bureau of the Supervising Architect, Treasury De- partment, is now in charge of the fed- ral building at Albion, Mich. Mr. Ttaker is one of the two colored men employed in this branch of the zovern- ment service in the United States, and is rated as a skilled architect and builder. It is expected that a determined fight wil he made this year by the Jeltiagns against the practice #f the Board of Education sowing day texelt- fers to serve in nicht schools, except in eases where competent instructors can- not be obtained for short school terms and tho day teachers must be drawh upon? It fs held tliat men and wo- men cannot do their best work when doz duahld duty, and it ix further arsued that justier demands that a larger opportuntty should be allowed for the employment of the graduates from the normal schools throngh the night school outlet. It is not fair that favored ones should be given big slices of fat, while others not Iexs de- nerving should be denied efen,a small chunk of lean. Day teachers should not be used in the night schools, as! suggested, save fn exceptional eaxes. ese The District appropriationvill, now In conference after passing both houses of Congress, calls for liberal amounts for the purchase of additienal ground adjoining the Garrison, the Syphuy, Lovejoy and Aimstrong Manual Traiu- ing Schools.

SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson X—Third Quarter, For : _ Aug. 27, 1916. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Acts xx, 16-27. Memary Verse, 24—Golden Text, Acts xx, 32—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. After the uproar of Ephesus, Paul bade an affectionate farewell to the disciples there and crossed over to Macedonia, whither Timothy and Eras- tus had preceded bim (xix, 22; xx, 1). After comforting’ the. disciples, prob- ably in all places where he had preach- ed the word; he and his'‘pasty reerossed ‘to Troas, where he first’heard tho call to Macedonia. He had tarried three months in Greece, and now they abode seven days at Troas (xx, 2-6; xvi, 8, 9). There they had an all night preaching service, at which one young man who sat in a window slept so soundly that he fell out from the third story and was killed, but the Lord restored him through Paul, and all were comforted. Paul must have been full to overflow- ing with messages which he felt would be his last to them (xx, 7-12, 25). While all the party went by ship to Assos, Paul walked across country to meet them there (verse 13). While fellowship with the brethren is often refreshing, there is nothing so grand as to be aane with God, and this Jonely walk would give Paul opportunity for the communion he desired. Paul desired, if possible, to ‘be at Jerusalem by the day of Pentecost, so instead of visiting Ephesus again he sent for the elders of the church there to'meet him at Miletus, and the prin- clpal part of our lesson today -is the record of bis farewell address to them @erses 14-17). He reminded them that for thrée years he had ffithfuby test{- fidd to Jews and Greeks repentance toward God and and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ, testifying the gos- pel of the piste, gt-Goa and preaching the, kiqedoln, of Ged.
