_ At the annual meeting Monday night
eports of the year’s work of the local
~ branch of the National League on
Urban Conditions Among Negroes
were read by the various officers. The
meeting was held at the league's head-
"quarters and was attended by a very
enthuslastie crowd. The principal
feature of the meeting was President
Sol. ©. Johnson's annual report which
told in a very comprehensive manner
of the many accomplishments of the
league during the past twelve months
‘and in which many splendid recom-
mendations for the futherance of the
work during the coming year were
made, ee,
‘The financial condition of the Tea-
gue was shown ‘by the report of the
treasurer, Rev. R. H. Singleton, to be
excellent, the body having on hand
over six hundred dollars after mect-|
ing the annual espenditnres which to-
taled $744.24.
The reports which ‘showed the wide
scope of relief work which has been
done by .this branch of the league,
elicited much favorable comment.
The ‘organization has been growing
steadily each year until at present
the mehership of the local body is per-
‘haps the largest of any of the branch-
es of the league. The annual elec-
tlon of officers was held at Monday
night's meeting. the old officers being
reelected.” ™

In what had given promise of being
2 fiercely contested gridiron battle, tHe
Ga. State Cotlege bors swamped the
elty Y. M,C. A. team on last Monday
afternoon, The game was minus tile
‘thrills usually attendant upon tocat
football contests and “after the first
two minutes of play it was evident that
the ¥: M. C. A. was no match for the
Insky and well-conditfoned college
team, The game ended in a score of
42 to 0, During the entire forty min-
utes of play the Y. M. C. A. failed to
make but one first down, and that
on a lucky forward pass.
‘The Ga. State bors were in excellent
condition for this early period of-the
season and their fast and strong team
work reflected much credit ‘on the
training which Coach Tucker has given
them. Their forward passes were well
executed and the Interferance on end
runs was good, while their terrific Ine

EXPOSES WILSON’S
DISLIKE OF NEGRO
Conditions Made Most Unpleasant for
Colored Postal Employees
‘And Salaries Cut
William Fy Crosby in an address t¢
the Negro Republican league calle¢
attention to the manner in which the
Wilson administration had discrimt
nated against Negro citizens. He
quoted from a speech of President
Wilson at Philadelphia of July 4, 1914,
declaring that the Democratic party
set up go barriers against any parti.
cular people, and. contrasted it with
what actually has been done. Said
Mr. Crosby :
“As soon as President Wilson was
inaugurated there was formed in Wash-
ington a secret orsanizatidn known
as the Democratic Fair Play Associa-
tion. Among its honorary members
were such noted opponents of the Ne-
‘fro race as Senators Hoke Smith, Var-
daman and Tillman. Presfdent Wil-
son himself was Included. ‘The ob-
‘ject of this association was to get
‘tld of most of the Nezroes in the gov-
‘ernment service to make way for white
Democrats. This scheme was exposed
before it could he carried out."
Mr. Croshy -told of the dismissal of
Nearoes in the Government service
during Wilson's term. Te eredited the
Cleveland administration with having
‘been fair on this question. Mr. Cros-
by continued :
“The present Democratic adminis-
tration found nearly 200 Negro em-
plosees In the post office and in the of.
fice of the auditor of the post office de-
partment, with salaries ranging from
$1,800 down. Now there are less than
100 with anything like decent salaries
Every colored clerk in the office of the

ilfes were reached, and baskets with
groceries. some with clothing and
many pairs of shoes were given.
During the year 22 cases were in-
vestigated or received from the Asso-
ciated charities, and the beneficence
of the league extended. 5S applica-
tions were received at the office for
help or advice. 24 were reported by
members of the league. Transporta-
tion was given to six. To many, ad-
vice was given, We find that in this
work that a word of admonition, ad-
vice and cheer generally inspire and
help. To many, this Is appreciated as
much as the substantial assistance
riven,
School Children’s Races

School Children’s Races ever held was
given in May. The gathering was the
largest ever had in this city and was

Health Week was observed tn Mar.
‘A meeting was held at St. Pant church,
Charles street. one at P. B. 1B. Church,
one at St. Janes ALM. TL Churelf and
one at Beth den Baptist Church.
‘There was a varied program at each

zave several of lis helnful lectures
with the Jantern slides during — the
year, In these efforts Dr. Harris is
doing more good than is apparent to
mang of us, and for which our hearty
appreciation is extended. |
Employment For Scfiool Boys
The 1915-16 term of the high schools
and colleges was noted for the falling
off of attendance. This was caused
by hard times and low price of the
farmers’ products. The idea was con-
celved by the officers of the National
League to help these boys In some way.
The opportunity of doing so presented
itself in the state of Connecticut. The
tobacco growers were solely in need
of helpers to harvest their great to-
haceo crop. Those they depended upon
wepunts of their trip and work. The
local management of this affair was
ny the hands of our Mr. James H. But-
jer, and how earnest and efticiently
He Iabored to make the movement a
success is well known by all of us.
This was done without remuneration
aud simply for the interest he has in
the work of the league and ambition
to help our boys. This league and com-
munity,owe him a dept of gratitude
for his unselfish work. It may be well
for mention to be made of the uncalled
for arrest made for alleged violation of
the imigration Jaws of the — state.
Upon investigation it was found that
we were within our rights and_ that)
the officers transcended their duty.
Old Folks’ Outing.
| In August the annual outing of the
old folks was held at Cattle Park,
under the auspices of the Adult Com-
mittee and Sunshine workers. This
was one of the best outings given the
old mothers and fathers, and the num-
ter in attendance was twice as many
as heretofore. Everything for their
comfort and pleasure was' arranged.
‘Their appreciation was shown in thetr
songs and prayers. If the Urban Lea-
gue has done nothing else than giving
these old folks an outing, it has ac-
complished much. The ladies who
werked so hard for the success of this
ae are to he commended.
5 Girl's Club
" aThe wark of the Girls’ Club Commit-
tee has been satisfactory. An organ:
ization in Yamacraw, one on the west
side, one at Swangin School and the
Fast side, each did gommendabte work.
‘The display of needie work of several
of them elicited commendation from
the knowing ones, The girls were giv-
en an outing at Cattle Park, and spent
a happy’ day at that pleasant resort.
This committee. especially its chair-
man, deserves the hearty praise of the
Teagne.
Boys’ Club
This committee has had much ac-
tivity during the year. The success-
fil School Children’s Races have al-
ready been mentioned. During the
winter season each week. meetings
were held with the boys. They gave
pn excellent account of themselves
during the races and foot-fall season
They were connected with the local
baseball Yeazue. While they were not
among the leaders, yet proved their
mettle by sticking to the last. The
work of this committee is especially
commendable.
Juvenile Farm
_ The Jeaguo takes to itself pardon-
able pride for the work at the Tuve-
nile Farm. While it is directly under
the supervision of the county’ authori-
ties. yet we feel responsible for: its
moral tone. Tts matron is one of our
most earnest workers, and is unsel!
fishly interested in the well-fare of
the boys who are devotion, Stself.
to her, We have assisted in making
happy the hows an two occasions,
j Public Meeting
Throush the kindness’ of the man-
agement of the Pekin Theatre we were
allowed the free use of it for our
publie meeting. Tt was a grand sue-
eens. The theatre was crowded and
the work of the leagne well presented.
Another one this season will be planned

New Work
| During the year, aside from the
other activities, a playgrennd was es-
tablished. The playground committee
after consulting with tne city anthori-
ties, found that they were not inclined
to do anything for our children in that
line durfng the year. The great neo

The committee was anxious to es-

sides. Through the kindness of Mr.
I. PD. LaRoach, the grounds on Hun-
tingiion, near Price street. were al-
lowed to he used for that purpase until
needed, The same was fitted un, and
hundreds of little ones were made hap-
py by its inauguration. Miss Helen
“Tee. a very capable young lady, has
been selected as play director and
has proven efficient in her work. Ef-
forts were made to secure a location
on the West side, This proved very
dificult. No available site could be
secured unless a large sum was paid
for renting same. Efforts are still be-
ing made to secure a site. In which
other members are asked to join. This
committee will again wait on the city
authorities and endeavor to get them
to take over the work on the East
side and establish one on the West
side. ‘i
Another ery commendable work
begun under the auspices of the lea-
gue was the social service center in
Yamacraw, Iocated on Joachim stret,
between Lumber and West Boundary
streets. This was begun under the
direction, of, Misses Cornelia McDow-
Sells andi Maggie: Robertsons7ucA very
een fitted up with benches from head-|
juarters. An organ, oil stove, organ
tool and pictures have been donated.
rhe work was inaugurated by the
yresence of 21 children, and very un-
isual, 19 of them were boys. It has
tlready outgrown its present shelter.
The interest of the éntire mémbership
of the league is asked for the work.
We see In it great things that can be
accomplisbel for, our people in that
neglected community. With hearty co-
operation a larger house could he se-
cured where real community {york can
be carried on which jvould result in
the establisument of a ‘day nursery,
i recreation center, a place for the
sethering of the mothers and fathers
in order that they may receive help-
ful talks on subjects relative to the
home, rearing. of children, right liv-
ing, ete. In inaugurating this work
these young ladies have laid a four-
dation that will be of untold gool if
it be ;visely built upon,
The service of a director has heen se-
eured, thus insuring more practical
and tangible results. The league is
indeed fortunate in securing the ser-
vices of one who fs so capable and
well experienced, and also who under-
stands local conditions so well. With
hearty co-operation we feel that the
further upwerd trend of the league is
assured.
Needs .
One of the greatest needs of the Iea-
gue is for more faithful and loyal
workers. There is so much for ‘real
earnest and unselfish workers to do.
We are éalling for yolunteers whose
lives will be sweetene( by doing some-
thing for others?
| The most, substantial need of the
league {s the sum of $1,500 in order
to carry on the league's work during
the year. Considering the great good
done by the league this is but a small
sum for a city as large as Savannah.
If each member of the league would
pledge to give a liberal sum, and get
at least a half dozen friends to do
likewise, more than the sum needed
can be easily. raised. May not each
one of us enter into this effort with
zest and an eye single to raise the
amount at an early date?
Recommendations
That we have a community Christ-
mas free at the playgrounds, and a
committee be appointed to arrange the
‘same. :
That an appeal be made to the
County Commissioners to erect a build-
ing for delinquent girls, similar to that
of the boys, near the poor farm.
‘That plans he adopted wherehy more
tansible work he done by the Rig
Brother Committee.
That theregpe more activity of the
civic committee. ~ -
‘That the leaders of the several ais-
tricts he permanently organized for
effective service during the year.
That cottage mectings under the
auspices of the Adult Committee he
held regularly in the neglected dis-
triets, +
That a live committee be appointed
to inaugurate a campaign for the
Christmas and Charity ee and
that sae be done at onfe. and that
members of the league who are con-
nected wirh Todges. elnbs and societies
hop their energies in reaching each
one’ df them in order’ that a Wheral
donation he requested.
Conclusion
The accomplishments of the league
have been made effective by it mem-
hers who have ever heen loyal, faith-
fut and unselfish. These have done
greater service than they least realize.
Ani to the members we extend our,
hearty appreciation for the causing:
of the continuous.growth of this be-
nign institution. We especially ar
preciate the hearty support and advice
given us daring our administration of
affairs, and which would have heen
a failure completely. were it not for
that fact. We pray for a continuation
of this loyal, faithful and unselfish
service on the part of each member of

St. Louis, Oct., 19—Rejection by the
House of Bishops of a proposal to™di-
vide the Episcupal Church along racial
lines and clash between militarists and
pacifists in a debate on prayer in the
House of Deputies were outstanding
features to-day of the general conven-
tion here of the Protestant Episcopal
church. The House of Deputies con-
curred in the Upper House's action in
refusing to provide Negro dioceses un-
der the supervision of Negro bishops.
The majority of the commission on
racial episcopate recommended that the
church be divided along racial Mnes,
but a minority report said that such
a division was “both unChristian and
uncatholic.” The minority report was
adpted.
The House of Bishops also amended
the minority report providing for fa-
yoring the appointment of Negro suf-
fragan bishcps to give Negro suffra-
gans a temporary right of succession
to the diocesan bishopric, with a voice
/in the House of Bishops. This amend-
ment probably will cause discusston
in the House of Deputies, for if adopt-
ed it may result in a Negro bishop tem-
porarily presiding over a white diocese.

the lodge has at least done its duty
by the brother by contributing to his

‘The Spirit of Masonry
Here 1s a gem plucked from the Los
Angeles Times’ editorial welcome to
the Shriners attending the Imperial
Council:
“Jn the beginning, when the morning
stars sang together! the spirit of Ma-
sonry came with man upon the earth.
A new and swinsing world, plucked out
of the stilly and starless unknown, her
brooks filtrated from the mists of
chaotic waters, her fields unblown, her
nature's milk, her airs warm with
wooing motion, and her freshly-tinted
skfes painting the crest of creation
upon new made lake und river. Suns
unshorn of a virgin beam, and moons
Propelled along unplowed paths, and
stars yet untaught In sentinel duty,
over all this songless world shone ever.
It was but a dewdrop hanging from
the finger of be Great Author. And
set it was a world set apart for the
use of’ mortal man and dedicated in
‘the presence of angels to the universal
brotherhood. ,
“Masonry never brought evil to man-
Kind. Its organization still retains the
master idea of the ages, It bas ever
been a stronghold of rectitude and jus-
tice, catching glints (even through the
quagmires of the (superstitions of
heathen nations, or the jungles of ob-
scure faiths) of that celestial light.
which must endure forever.”

The Mission of Masonry
If to increase the happiness and to
mitigate the sorrows of mankind, to
shield and protect the weak and help-
less, are among the objects of crea-
tion, then we have, to some extent at
least, fulfilled the object of or Crea-
tor, As long as there is misery and
suffering in the world, as ‘long as the
widow’s moan and the orphan’s ery
are heard in the land, so long will
Masonry have a mission to fulfill.
It has been said that man’s greatest
victory was the mastery of himself.
The potency of this statement {is evi-
denced on almost every page of his-
tory. To conquer one’s own passions,
prejudices and seifishness is of greater
importance than to overcome armies
and navies, Alexander, the intrepid
con of the Macedonian king, was a
moral coward and weakling, Aecause
he could not overcome his own pas-
sions and selfish desires, The same
may be said of Napoleon and many
others whom the world has called he-
roes. a
ee
Like 2 beautiful stream rippling over
the rocks and crags and pebbles of
its channel, Masonry flows by every
door, singing ever and anon the same
sweet songs of untiring love. sladden-
ing all hearts, while along its course
snring fresh and fragrant -flowers of
beauty, innocence and truth to adorn
ts life and lend a lusting perfume
0 its work of faith, its labor of love.—

Masonry a Part of Life
In Masonry we find the most splend-

generations of men who have lived and
suffered and labored, and tonight rest
in dreamless sleep in quiet cities of
the dead. So Masonry means, not only

The Hardest Lesson
It: seems strang that the hardest
lesson which Masons have to learn fs
the lesson of tolerance, of that charity
that “suffereth long and is kind,” and
is the chief boast of our institution.
That is the one virtue that justifies
its existence. The moralities that oc-
eupy so large a place in our lectures
are our only by adoption. They are
in no sonse original, and every neo-
phyte is required to possess them he-
fore. he can be admitted to our band.
We teach nothing that is new or ex-
elusive, We simply give to our mem-
hers an opportunity to associate them-
selves with men of moral character
and lofty purpose, and by constantly
reminding them of the highest ideals
of life and service strive to keep them
keyed up to a high standard of prin-
ciple and conduct. But with all our
preaching and posing we are constant-
ly in danger of offending against the
cardinal principles of our profession,
the brotherly love that overlooks trifl-
ing faults and errors, that gives our
brother eredit for pure motives and
honest intentions, that strives to Iift
him" up rather than throw him down.

For President
CHARLES E. HUGHES
of New York
‘For Vice-President
CHAS. W. FAIRBANKS
- Of Indiana
=
. Saturday October 28th, 1916
One week from next Tuesday will be
the mighty battle of ballots to decide
the fate of Hughes and Wilson. The
prediction is that Mr, Hughes will be
the winner.
For defending himself from a mob
of men whe came to whip him, a
wealthy colored man was lynched in
South Carotina. In future colored
men, matters not ‘how innocent, must
stand supinely by with folded arms
and take their punishment like a little
lamb. » ae
Seuth for a show of amarthooli and
whieh ix forcing thousands of us .to
other fields where conditions are more
conducine to our’ welfare. >
Some time.ago the New York World,
Wiitters ‘chief préss “organ, believing
that“conditidns in Mexico were not as
black as painted, sent a cor-espond-
en? down there, incognito, to get in-
side information on the real status of
affairs, The World expected to get
& report which would put a halo on
St. Woodrow. But the World corres-
pondcht told the truth, and the story
was so terrible that the World burried
it in its advertising section. The New
York Jonrnal exhumed it and present-
ed it to the publie together with some
pugent editorial comment thereon. It
is reported that the World censor ‘has
choked off iis correspondent and will
Fun no more of his articles. And the
World boasts of its fearless stand for
truth.
At a dinner given by the Hughes
Club of Washington, D. C., recently,
Simon Wolf, one of Washington’? most
substantial citizens said: “It would
have been well for the present admin-
istration to have profited by the pol-
fey pursued by James G. Blaine as
secretary of state in the Garfield ad-
ministration. Mr. Blaine sent this mes-
sage to our minister at Mexico City;
‘Read this to the minister of foreign
affairs: Outrages on American citizens
must stop, not next week, but now.
.And {f they do not, the entire power of
this government will be brought to
‘pear to stop them!” ‘The outrages
stopped. To-day, under Wilson's pol-
fey they continue.
THIS IS SIGNIFICANT
President Wilson is a former pres:
ident of Prinecton College. The fol.
lowing dispatch shows how popular
he is at that institution:
“Princeten, N. J. Wednesdey—
Charles E. Hughes. for President
was the choice oyer President Wil-,
son in a straw vote taken by the
Daily Princetonfan among the stu-
dents of Princeton University to-
day. Mr. Hughes polled a ma-
jority of 188 votes.”
THE NEGRO EXODUS.
“The enormous demand for labor and
the changing conditions brought about
hy the holl weevil in certain parts of
the ‘Sonth have caused an exodus of
Nexroes which may he serious. Great
colonies of Negroes have gone North
to work in factories, in the packing
houses and on the failroads.
| “The South needs every able bodied
‘Negro that is now south of the Ine,
and every Negro who remains south of
the, line will in the end do better than
he’ will do In the north. ‘The Negro
has heen a tremendous factor in the
development of agriculture and all the
commerce of the South. But in the
metintime. if we are to keep him here
and we are to have the best use of his
Tush. capacity, there is a_ certain
duty that the white man himself must
discharze in his relation to the Negro,
“The omsiness of Iynching Negroes

cUning, but the worst thing i. that
often the wrong Negra is lynched. The

os at the expense of the Negro’s lack

BETH EDEN CHURCH
MAKING GREAT EFFORT
} The members of Beth Tden Baptist
Church are making a herculean effort
to raise the balance due on the mort-
Rage on their church. In this effort
they should meet the liberal response
of the public. This church was or-
ganized by the Iamented Dr. Ellis, and
its edifice is one of the prettiest in
the elty and has a faithful set of
members. There was an original mort-
gage of shout $7,000 on the church,
with the interest amounted to a neat
‘sum. The entire amount has been re.
duced to SLG85. A largo part ef the
original sum owas raised during the:
pastorate of Rey Clarke the present pas
tor, who has given a most acceptable
administration, and enjoys the love
und esteem of his members and the
public. A campaign is on foot to raise
the balance hy the latter part of the
Year, and for which the members-are
working. The Tribune commends thts
effort and hope that the public will
respond Mberally. The Rev. Clarke
submits the following to the public:
“This ts to certify that we have heen
for many years with a heavy indebts
ness, which, with «a smal member-
ship. we have been able to reduce to
$1485.00, that this amount we are
trying to raise by the end of this year
in order to entirely free our church
from debt; that the pastor will cele-
brate his fourth anniversary of his
pastorate on the first Sunday in next
month, by which time it is earnestly
hoped that the members and friends
of the church will have subseribed this
amount to be paid about the end of
December.
“I therefore, take prcat interest in
commending the properly authorized
solicitors, representing the Alex. Ellis
Circle and the Reth Eden Golden Reap-
ers of this church and well wishers,
hoth white and colored. who may be
approached for subscriptions, whetber

Negro Business Should Advertise
MUST LET THE PEOPLE KNOW OF THEIR BUSINESS
(by J. C. Lindsay)
One of the grave charges preferred against the average business man, is his lack of knowledge of the permanent returns which well-worded advertisements bring to one's business, when put into a well circulated popular newspaper, such as two or three of the cities of Georgia can boast. The white business man has long since learned the important lesson of keeping what he has for sale before the people, whom he wishes to make his permanent customers, in some one, and in a good many cases, into several of the big metropolitan dailies, which ads, as all well known, come very high indeed. But not so, with a goodly number of our so-called business men, who have thought it to be to their material interest to adopt the hook worm methods. Every business man in this community, be he white or black, who has made a success of the business which he may chance to represent or manage, knows of the material benefits and blessings which have come to that business, thru well-worded ads.
Perhaps, the best advertised business in this country, operated by our people, is the industrial insurance business. Every policy pouch, every premium receipt book, every slick blank, every policy contract, and in fact, every piece of paper which goes out of the office, whether it be the main, or any one of the local offices, that piece of paper tells its story of the benefits and blessings to be derived by taking insurance into the company which sent that piece of paper out on its mission. In other words, this medium of advertising is talking for its company, while the agents of the company are asleep.
One of our local banking institutions which has learned the importance of keeping the good being done by it prominently before the people, is being called upon constantly to give some idea and advice to other cities and communities, as to the best plan and method of organizing and conducting a similar business, modeled after this pioneer Negro banking emporium.
The Negro business men of the hustling little city of Waycross, Ga., after reading about what the Wage Earners Savings bank had been able to accomplish for the race in about sixteen years, sent men to this city to confer with the officials of this pioneer Negro bank, and to get ideas, advice and plans, in order to organize one similar and to model it in detail after this Negro banking institution in which they have so much confidence. This delegation returned to their city with the plans and ideas furnished them by President Williams, of the Wage Earners Savings bank, and they immediately called their men together who do things in that progressive little city, and they began to organize and to place their stock on the market, and today they have on deposit in the Wage Earners Savings bank, this city, a large amount of hard cash to their credit, ready to be placed into their own bank when other minor details have been properly and systematically worked out.
Not only is this true concerning the Waycross people, but President Williams of the Wage Farmers bank, just showed the write a letter from the Negro business men of Columbia, S. C., asking for plans and details of how to organize and operate successfully a Negro savings bank in the capitol of the Palmetto state, which advice has been cheerfully furnished by President Williams, who stands ready and is willing, tho a busy man, to go over and render whatever assistance necessary in the organization of a Negro savings bank in the good of New Orleans. He says that the Negroes here seem to be alert to the opportunities at hand for putting their businesses before the people.
The writer has now a letter before him from Mr. J. L. Murchison, an old Savannah boy, who has been away from home nearly twenty-years, engaged as chief diver on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, with headquarters at New Orleans, La. During all these years Mr. Murchison has spent away from his native city he has had the Savannah Tribune to follow him wherever he has gone. Mr. Murchison writes and commends the work being done by our local Negro Business League, and informs us in the mean time that he is president of the local Negro business league of the city of New Orleans.
Mr. Murchison also tells us of the favorable impression which our local business men, and the various interests in which many of them are represented, made on the preachers and
delegates who attended the National Baptist convention which met here in September.
Our only for taking the course which we have seen fit to take in our weekly Negro business letter at this time, is to call the attention of our local, business men to the importance of keen ing their businesses well advertised in some clean well-circulated Negro newspaper.
Your next meeting will be held at headquarters, Wednesday evening, November 1st. Come early and bring a friend with you and be sure to throw that little batchet away before you hurt yourself with it.
NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITOL
(Continued from Page One)
For dismissal by Assistant Supt. Rosecoe Conklin Bruce shortly after the pronunciation of Commissioner Harris.
The First Separate Battalion, District National 'Guard, has been mustered out of the federal army. "The colored troops fought nobly."
Messrs S. L. McLaurin, of the Department of Agriculture, and Carlisle Johnson of the Treasury Department, have recently purchased handsome five-passenger automobiles.
Dr. R. R. Moton will be the houseguest of Mr. Henry Lassiter, and Mr. Emmett J. Scott will be quartered with Dr. A. M. Curtis, when they come here to speak on the 21st. Several social functions are being planned in their honor, notably a dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lassiter and a luncheon by the Hampton Alumni Association at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Lee.

It is regretted in many quarters that Dr. Jasper Tappan Phillips, Nashville's resourceful young leader, could not return to the city, following his visit to New York and other eastern points. Dr. Phillips is a young man of delightful personality and made a pleasing impression everywhere he came in contact with the people. He is the son of Bishop C. H. Phillips, of the C. M. E. church and was once a resident of Washington when his father pastored the historic Israel C. M. E. Church.
A "Booker T. Memorial Song" entitled "Memories Are Calling Me," has made its appearance in this city and is already winning favor in musical circles. The song is being issued from the publishing house of the Turkes and Arbuckle Company, and is offered for a limited period for twenty-five cents a copy.
The story of "Memories Are Calling Me" is taken from life. When the late educator learned he could not recover, and that the end was but a few hours off, he expressed a desire to be taken home, where he might pass the last moments amid the scenes he had lived and labored for so many years. With this thought in mind Mrs. Frances Pool Shaw wrote the song, and Mr. Eugene Alexander Burke set the words to music. The song is tuneful and pathetic, and instantly sprung into popularity everywhere it was heard. The publishers decided to put out a memorial issue, and the title page carries a striking likeness of Dr. Washington. Program makers for the coming memorial exercises have announced their intention of including it among the musical numbers to be used. It is highly appropriate.
A Saturday half-holiday the year round seems to be assured the government workers. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and 5 other cabinet officers have approved the plan and the other three are expected to vote "aye" as soon as they can properly examine the matter. The government will lose nothing by the concession, which is in keeping with the demands of the hour.

The citizens of the District are planning a public reception in honor of the first Separate Battalion. District National Guard, which has just returned from the Mexican border, under Major J. E. Walker.
. . .
Capt. Arthur C. Newman, of the District National Guard, made his first public appearance Monday night at the Howard theatre, following his return from the border. He was given a genuine ovation as he walked down the isle to take his seat. Capt. Newman, when mustered out of the federal service, will resume his post as principal of the Armstrong Manual Training school.

Rev. J. Anderson Taylor, one of the oldest ministers of the Baptist faith in the District, died on the 6th and was buried on the following Tuesday. His body laid in state at the Trinity Baptist Church, of which he was pastor for a day and was then taken to the Vermont Avenue Baptist church, a larger auditorium, for the funeral. For many years Dr. Taylor was pastor of the Shiloh Baptist Church of this city. He was a native of Virginia, and
THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE
Rev. J. E. Wood, editor of the Torch Light, Danville, Ky, National Grand Chief of the Good Samaritans, was in the city recently, mingling with friends and seeing a number of the magnates who run things political and otherwise. His daughter has matriculated at Howard University.
Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, the energetic head of the National Training School for Women and Girls, Lincoln Heights, D. C., continues to stand pat on her rights—and is working like a Trojan in the meantime. Her show of strength with the nation at the recent testimonial, when the best men and women of the country indicated that they were with her, has put the erstwhile enemy to rout. The wing of the National Baptist convention which tried to seize her life's work at Savannah has placed her in the "too hot to handle" column and concluded to let her alone.
Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education has written a letter to Mr. Charles M. Thomas of the Minor Normal School, warmly praising the addresses and papers presented recently by Mr. Thomas before the teachers assemblies, research clubs and literary societies.
The Farm Loan Board is up against the inveritable race problem. To derive the proper benefits from the new system of rural credits, it is necessary to form local associations of farmers. In the South the white farmers are insisting that the Negro farmers organize separate associations. It is said that the Farm Loan Board in considering a plan whereby this can be done, so that all may share equitably and harmoniously in the benefits of the new law designated by Congress to aid the hardworking tillers of the soil.

Friends of Tuskegee Institute in Washington and elsewhere have received invitations to attend an "at home" given by Mr. and Mrs. Emmett J. Scott at their beautiful residence at Tuskegee Institute, in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Robert Russia McDon. The function which will be highly enjoyable and imposing, was designed to present the new principal and this charming wife to the family of the Institute in a social way.'
Justice and Mrs. Robert Heberton Terrell have issued cards requesting the honor of the presence of their friends to the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage. Saturday evening, October 28, at their beautiful home, 1323 T street, northwest.
The abolition of "Rule 45" which required female teachers to resign upon marriage, is not causing any of the hardships predicted by those who thought that the breaking down of the old law would ruin the chances of the graduates from the Normal school. It will be found at the end of the coming year that about as many graduates as usual will be appointed. Some teachers will continue after marriage. Most of them will not. The new woman is man's business partner—not hisward or dependent.
"The Lure" is being given this week at the Howard in attracti e fashion. Andrew V. Bishop and others are seen in congenial roles.
Miss Marie Lucas, the gifted musical directress of the Lafayette Theatre, N Y., spent the week here rehearsing the chorus and musical numbers of "15 Minutes from Broadway which is to be presented in New York Next week, with Washington to follow week of November 6.
JACK JOHNSON FINDS
FREEDOM IN SPAIN
Has a Cafe in Barcelona, and is Doing Fine-Is Highly Pleased With the Country
Jack Johnson is never coming back. He has settled down in Barcelona, Spain, and is going to stay there. He has just written a friend in this country, which bears a few interesting sentences about himself, and they are as follows:
"The people of this country," writes Jack, "are broad-minded. They don't think that because a man's skin is black he should be persecuted and forced to get off the earth.
"I'm not broke, as some of the American papers say I am, nor am I any where near broke. I'll have money when some of those mean persons who have made things so hard and unpleasant for me will be asking the sporting people to give them benefits.
"My cafe is the most elegant in Barcelona, and some of the best citizens are my patrons. I wouldn't trade it for the best cafe in New York, Chicago or San Francisco.
"I am glad to hear that Jess Willard is doing well. He is lucky to have a white skin. If he were black, the American people would be treating him just as unfairly as they did me". —Mmsterdam News.
SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Lesson V.—Fourth Quarter, For Oct.29,1916.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Acts xxvii, 13-26. Memory Verses, 22-24—Golden Text, Ps. xxxvii, 5—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
Now Paul is off to Rome and has been delivered from his enemies in Jerusalem who so persistently sought his life. But the devil is sometimes permitted to rage on the sea as well as on the land, and Paul has more troubles ahead, but we shall see God glorified in all. Then there are so many "handfuls of purpose" to cheer us along the way (Ruth 11, 16) and lighten our journey. I hope he enjoyed the sea voyages, for to me they are so restful, and even storms are magnificently grand if one can keep a quiet mind and body. He had at least one good companion with whom he could have good fellowship on the voyage, Artistarchus of Thessalonica, who was afterward a fellow prisoner with him at Rome (verse 2 and Col. iv, 10).
At Sidon, where the ship called, Paul was given liberty to go to his friends and refresh himself (verse 3), and this must have been a good handful and much appreciated. They changed ships at Myra, in Lyca, some distance southeast of Ephesus, where they found a ship from Alexandria bound for Italy. They reached Crete safely, but, not giving heed to Paul's advice to winter there and thinking that they had a favorable wind, they set sail. I shall never forget one of the most enjoyable sea trips of my life from Port Said, in Egypt, to Brindisi, in Italy, in 1897. After some months of tropical heat in China and India and the sail up the Red sea, which the captain thought must have been called Red because it was red hot. I thought I never had anything quite so enjoyable as that sail. My diary for Sept. 15, 1897, says, "Sighted Crete about noon and kept along the southwest coast till night." I was then writing notes on the Sunday school lessons just as I am today and have been doing in the summer months ever since 1887. How great have been my privileges! To Him be all the glory. Parlon this digression and give Paul and Crete the credit of it. The tempestuous wind and the being exceedingly tossed (verses 14, 18, 20) did not come my way on the Mediterranean, but I have known something of it on other seas and been kept in peace.
This was certainly a great storm that this ship fell into, for neither sun nor stars were seen for many days, and all hope of surviving the storm was given up (verse 20). We think of the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep and of people at their wits' end and how He can make the storm a calm or in some other way deliver (Ps. cili. 23-30). After many days and nights of this great storm Paul had a visitor from heaven, an angel of God, either the Lord Himself, as in xxili. 11, or one of His faithful messengers, as in xil. 7-10, with a word of good cheer for him and for all on board. Oh, these wonderful angels who excel in strength, who delight to do His bidding, who can run and return like lightning! (Ps. cili. 20, 21; Dzek. 1, 14). They have no fear and seem to have all power. Just think of this one finding this ship in the midst of this great storm and the one man on board of all the 270 whom he specially wanted (verse 37).
It should comfort us to know that such friends as these are ever ministering unto us (Heb. 1, 14). The next day after this visit of the angel Paul was able to comfort all on board. How much even one person may do to help others if he is in touch with God Paul was able to assure them that there would be no loss of life, not a hair of their heads harmed, and to encourage them to eat something, for they had eaten little or nothing for fourteen days (verses 22, 33-36). He took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of them all and began to eat. Then they all did eat and were of good cheer. Note Paul's message concerning the angel visitor, "The angel of God, whose I am and whom I serve" (verse 23), and may the last seven words be ours always from the heart. He certainly believed for himself what he wrote to the Corinthians, "Ye are not your own, for ye are bought with a price" (I Cor. v1, 19, 20).
If ever a man lived it out he did; and, knowing what it meant to serve the Lord with all humility of mind, he could urge others to serve the Living and True God (Acts xx, 19; I Thess. 1.9). Then his words of strength and cheer to all these people were so grand, with every prospect, humanly speaking, of going down with the ship, and no reason for thinking otherwise but the message of the angel, he said so boldly, "Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer, for I believe God that it shall be even as it was told me" (verse 25). And so it came to pass, and they escaped all safe to land (verse 44). We think of Abraham, who considered not himself nor Sarah, but was fully persuaded that what God had promised He was able to perform (Rom. iv, 19-21). For twenty-one years the motto of my little monthly, Kingdom Tidings, has been "Abraham believed God * * * I believe God," and, though the contrast between these two men of God and the work represented by this little monthly is very great, yet the principle is the same, and the words have been a great help to me.

BEACH INSTITUTE NEWS
The three upper classes in Beach have so increased their numbers that this year every seat in the main room is filled. The class of 1916 boasts of thirteen members who are strong supporters of woman suffrage, for they are all girls. The unlucky number, perhaps, accounts for the fact that there are no boys in the class. The following officers have been chosen for the year: President, Irene Joyce; secretary, Bessie Durden; treasurer, Helen Watkins.—Hattie Jones, who was quite sick when school opened is once more at work with her class mates.—The eleventh grade, having but eight members, is one of the smallest classes in the school, they take, however, as their motto. "Quality and not quantity." James Hardwick is the one boy in this class. He has been absent for a couple of days because of illness, but it is hoped he will soon recover.—Miss Ethyl Hellemann, supervisor of music at Beach, is a graduate of the Sherwood School of music at Chicago. Ill. Besides her regular classes in singing and other subjects, she is giving nineteen piano lessons each week. Miss Hellemann is prepared to give a limited number of piano lessons to students not connected with the school.—The class regrets that Claude Newkirk did not return to the rank this year, but each member wishes him success wherever he may be in the north.—The tenth grade has started out the year with a strong force of nineteen girls and one boy. A few that were in the class last year have dropped out but others have filled their places.—Georgianna Shellman was taken sick about a week after school began and has not been able to return as yet.—Edith Wilson, class 1920 has been absent for the last three days on account of illness.
