VOLUME XXXII
Should "Hold Up The Leaders' Hands"
REV. GOODALL MAKES PLEA FOR SUPPORT OF LEADERS Many Visitors in Congregation Much Pleased with Stirring Sermon
"Hold up the Leaders' Hands" was the subject of a very interesting sermon preached last Sunday morning by the Rev. T. J. Goodall, pastor at the First African Baptist church. The discourse was listened to by a very large congregation, among whom were many visiting business and professional men. It had been whispered around that a sermon of special interest to the community would be preached and that the subject of the discourse would have a direct bearing on "leadership". As the speaker, during his stay of two years here, had already taken a prominent part in all movements looking towards the general betterment of the Negro in Savannah, and is therefore fully capable of discussing this all important subject, those who, with his large congregation, came out Sunday morning were certain that they would listen to a discussion of a subject which would be entertaining, beneficial and profitable. In this they were in every respect satisfied, for the hour's discourse was full of ennobling thought and presented an array of facts that are indispensable and worthy of more than mere passing mention.
The speaker took for his text Exodus 17:10-13. In a very interesting and impressive historical sketch he showed how through the ages it has been necessary for the people to uphold their leaders if they would succeed and that when this all important support was withheld, failure, disaster and destruction was the resultant. He started with that striking biblical sketch of the march of the Children of Israel out of the Wilderness, when by following and upholding steadfastly the leadership of Moses, they landed safe in the promised land, and traced the subject right down to the present day. He ended his discourse by pleading for a strong and undivided leadership of those Negro leaders who place under subjection self and all littleness and work for the common good of all the people. He decried corrupt and pervert leadership among the race, stating that it leads to failure, discord and disaster and causes any race of people which follows it to remain in the background and lacking in those characteristics which are necessary for progress and advancement.
AUTO BREAKS PHOTOGRAPHER JOHNSTON'S LEG
---
Photographer J. W. Johnston, West Broad and Gaston streets, had his right leg broken on Monday afternoon by being run over by an automobile. It seems, from the testimony of eye witnesses of the affair, that Photographer Johnston and Joe Hall, a mechanic, had some words about the repairs on the former's car. The mechanic wanted a cash payment for the work he had done, but Mr. Johnston objected to making a full settlement until he tried the car out as he said he had already had some unsatisfactory work done by Hall.
Johnston said he would pay Hall ten dollars and then take the car out for a try out to Hope Crest and then if it proved satisfactory he would pay the remainder of the bill. This Hall objected to and said he would take the car back to his shop. Johnston would not agree to this and to stop Hall from moving the car, took out the crank. Hall then went away and got a hacking car. This he had driven up in front of Johnston's car, ticing tow rop to it form the car in front. Johnston, in the meantime, was busy trying to untie the rope, when Hall jumped into the car behind and ordered the driver of the hacking car to proceed. In a twinkle, the head car shot off and with a jerk pulled the back car upon the photographer, knocking him down, his right leg being run over by both right wheels of the machine. With a lead crack the leg broke below the knee and friends ran to the injured man's assistance.
Mr. Johnston was carried to Charity hospital where it was reported yesterday afternoon that he is doing well. He is one of the most energetic of the younger Negro business men of the city and his friends regret to learn of the accident.

Rev. C. A. Evers, against whom and his assistant at St. Barnabas Catholic church, allegations reflecting on their character as ministers were made some time ago, is no longer at the church. His assistant, who was indicted on the charge of assaulting a colored domestic employee at the parish house, disappeared some months ago.
With $504.51 secured Sunday, Beth el A. M. L. church has raised $4,811 in the biggest financial rally ever pulled off by a local congregation. When reports are made this Sunday, the sum is expected to have reached $5,000.
The rally was planned by the Rev Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, who has been pastor of the church since last April. As Dr. Brooks raised over $7,500 in one effort while pastor of St. Paul A. M. B. church, St. Louis, the rally here created general interest. This interest was heightened by the fact that Bethel church has a debt approximating $75,000. Since Dr. Brooks has been here the attendance and collections at the church have increased threefold. For the purpose of the rally the workers were divided into three groups called annual conferences, each of which was presided over by a "bishop."
FAMOUS TENTH IN FRANCE
Is Under the Direct Command of General Pershing
Somewhere in France, in a deep trench is hidden the famous Tenth Cavalry, the black fighting men of America—Africans, but not foreigners. These soldiers, it is reported, left America just two days behind their fearless leader, Gen. Pershing. Before the general left he made demand that his black troops be sent with him, and it is sald, would have declined the honors if he had not been pledged his black command.
It is generally conceded in army circles that the Tenth Cavalry is the best of soldiers America affords, being evidenced by the commanders. When an officer is promoted or transferred to command the "Tenth" his next promotion is commander general of the Army of the United States. Gen Miles won fame with the "Tenth" and was put in command of the Army of the United States. Gen. Wood then took command of the famous "Tenth" and is now commander of the entire Army of the United States.
The press will not publish what troops are now in France because of Negroes making history as the first to shed blood for their country, but when the "Tenth" gets a chance to shoot and dash forward in victory the French will publish its record of gallantry and of our black boys of whom we are so proud—Illinois Idea.

Scenario PlayWriters Confer at Tuskegee
"BIRTH OF A RACE" SUBJECT OF NEW PLAY
Picture will Depict Rise of the Negro Race
Tuskegee Inust. Ala., July 21.—Mr. George Frederick Wheeler, who is collaborating with Emmett J. Scott of the Tuskegee Institute in writing the scenario for the master photoplay, "The Birth of a Race." has held an important series of conferences here during the past week, working over the vast amount of material which they have assembled during the past eighteen months. This material is being put into the fork of a story which will be ready for the film-makers by the last of September.
Prior to his visit here, Mr. Wheeler visited Memphis, Mound Bayou, Mobile and Atlanta. He has been most cordially received everywhere he went and reports that every opportunity has been given him to study racial conditions as they obtain in the South. "Everyone," says Mr. Wheeler, "seems to know of the photoplay and I am sure that the picture will have a great run in the South as well as the other sections of the country."
In an address before the summer school, Mr. Wheeler announced that nearly enough of the capital stock had been sold to produce a picture, but it is now necessary to push the sale with vigor in order to assure the big picture which the producers have planned. He invited the teachers and others interested, to become members of the corporation and thus help to make the production a success. Each membership entitles the holder to one share of stock and quite a number of memberships were taken by the teachers and workers here.
In describing some of the scenes of the Birth of a Race, Mr. Wheeler stated that it will cost $45,000 alone to erect one of the temples which will be shown in the screen for only about five minutes. This will be a complete reproduction of one of the old Egyptian temples erected in the days of early Negro civilization, thousands of years before the birth of Christ. Mr. Wheeler has spent many months of research, unearthing and verifying facts covering early Negro civilization. Another scene which he describes will require twelve thousand people, all of whom will wear specially made costumes.
Mr. Wheeler left here Tuesday for Chicago where the home office of the Birth of a Race Photoplay Corporation is located in the National Life Building He planned to stop over in Montgomery, "the cradle of the Confederacy," Birmingham and Nashville in further quest of material and for good locations for staging the various scenes.
Mr. Howard McKinney went to the Georgia Infirmary on Thursday for an operation, the result of which we have not been able to ascertain.

NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITOL
Washington, D.C., July 24.—The sweet singers from Roger Williams University, of Nashville, Tenn., met with a most cordial greeting Thursday evening of last week at the Mt. Carmel Baptist church. They came to Washington upon the Invitation of Rev. W. H. Jernagin, the energetic pastor of this church and an ever-enthusiastic friend of education. The singers came practically as strangers, but after a few bars of the opening number, "The Infumatus" had been sung, they and the music-loving Washingtonians were on familiar and friendly terms.
No higher quality of melody has ever been heard here, and the selections were so exquisitely varied that there could be no sense of monotony, and every possible snade of taste was satisfied to the utmost. The leading soprano, Miss Iola Currin, a new star in the firmament of song, gave evidence of prima donna timber. She met and mastered the high notes without apparent effort and carried the variations of tone and shading with a skill that would have done credit to a diva with years of experience in the operatic arena.
Of the others too much praise cannot be said. Their voices were fresh, individual and blended harmoniously in all that they attempted, be it grave or gay Mrs. M. Townsend, the versatile and resourceful, wife of the president of Roger Williams University accompanied the singers on the piano, displayed her finished musical training by the thoroness with which she entered into the spirit of each selection. As musical director of the octette, she is entitled to a lion's share of the tremendous success scored by the singers here and elsewhere.
Not least among the enjoyable episodes of the evening was the eloquent appeal to the public for tangible assistance for the re-building of the fire-de-troyed Roger Williams University. This came from Mrs. Townsend, after an inspiring introduction by Mr. Williams and Rev. W. H. Jernagin. She told of the broad scope of the work and of its benefit to the race all over the country. How deeply she impressed her hearers was evidenced by the generous contributions and pledges that were promptly given.

Rev. W. H. Jernagin announces that the annual meeting of the National Race Congress, of which he is president, has been set for October 3 and 4, in this city. Many matters of vital interest to the colored citizens of America will be discussed, with especial emphasis on the outrages recently committed upon the defenseless Negroes at East St. Louis, disfranchisement, jim crowism in places of public accommodation, the southern exodus and discrimination in employment and wages will all have a hearing.

Miss Marie A. D. Madre, president of the District of Columbia Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, went to Stamford, Oonn., last week to carry the greetings of the District to the annual convention of the New England Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. She delivered an address that woke the echoes and took the view that it is now the duty of our women to go forward in the great moral task of the hour, since in so many respects the hands of our men are tied when they are frequently compelled to be silent to save the economic interests of their dependent families.

The new $30,000 building of the Industrial Savings Bank is about ready for occupancy. The banking room is entirely modern and the furniture, vaults and other appointments are in keeping with the best traditions of up-to-date business. Mr. John W. Lewis, who came here poor and unknown twenty-odd years ago, and has risen from hod-carrier to bank president and capitalist, deserves unstinted credit for the record he has made in this community. The bank is doing an annual business of $75,000, and a boom period is now setting in that will carry the total easily to the $100,000 mark.

Sunday School Association Success
MEETINGS AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH WELL ATTENDED
Association Gives Much Impetus to Religious Work Among Young
On last Wednesday night the Savannah Sunday School Association held its quarterly meeting at Butler Presbyterian church of which the Rev. S. T. Reed is pastor. There was a splendid crowd present, composed of pastors, Sunday school superintendents and workers. Fourteen Sunday schools were represented.
The music was very good. Mr. J. E. Johnson directed, while Mrs. A. E. Orner performed at the instrument. The F. A. R Sunday school, Bolton and West Broad streets, rendered a beautiful quartet composed of adults and the Elder Presbyterian, a petit trio, rendered by children. The address by Prof. Tibbs of the Ga. State Industrial College was present with helpful information and ammonition He used for a subject "The Sunday school its problems and their solution.
Mr. W. B. Stubbs, president of the Georgia Sunday School Association, spoke on "The Banner School". The address was plain, pointed and practical. Mr. Stubbs is an experienced active, progressive Sunday school worker. The president of the Savannah association; Rev. I. J. Yancy, had secured from the headquarters of the Georgia Sunday School Association sufficient banner school charts and other literature on important methods to supply each school. Many of the workers pledged that they would adopt for their motto "My Sunday school must be the best in the state."
EUREKA CLUB TAKES TWO-
GAMES FROM BRUNSWICK
Hampton, Savannah's Best Slabman,
"Suffers Defeat
Last Monday opened the three days' series of ball games between the Eureka club of this city and the Glants of Brunswick, Ga. The visitors arrived here on last Sunday night and were seemingly in the pluk of condition for the struggles that were to come off. Each of the three games was witnessed by fairly good crowds with Wednesday having a shade the best of it in attendance. Both teams showed up well and there was plenty of ginger in the games. Some dissatisfaction was caused by the bad decisions of Umpire Warner, even though they were in favor of the home team, yet the rooters of the Eurekas who were largely in the majority, showed their disapproval of such actions. In Wednesday's game, Hampton who is credited with being Savannah's best slahman, suffered defeat. But it was not his box work that caused the game to be loss, the responsibility rests upon Warner and Eugene Howell, first and third basemen, respectively. Mention is necessary of Billey, who displaced Warner at the first sack for the Eurekas. His playing was brilliant, as was also Frasler, third baseman and Bowden, catcher for the Brunswick team. The reliable, Captain Henry Howell did the twirling for the home team in both Tuesday and Wednesday's games, bringing off the honors. The results are: Monday, Brunswick 9, Eurekas 2; Tuesday, Eurekas 3, Brunswick 2; Wednesday Eurekas 4, Brunswick 2. The deportment of the visiting team on the diamond and elsewhere caused them to gain many friends here which was evidenced by the way in which they and the ladies of Brunswick were entertained. On Tuesday night, they were guests at the Savannah Home Association and on Wednesday night they were given a big sendoff at the Eureka club.
Dr. N. W. Fate of Hawkinsville is in the city, this week visiting his fam-
pastor of the Second Baptist church of this city, and recognized as one of the
ablest theologians in the land, is critically ill at Freedmen's Hospital.
The selective draft program was carried out successfully last Friday in
the assembly hall of the Senate Office Building. All classes were on an even
footing and the drawing was absolutely fair. A goodly number of colored men
are included in the first batch to be called to colors.

MILITARY STYLES NOW
APPEARING AMONG OTHERS
Tub Frocks of Linen and White Georgette for Hot Weather
NOVELTIES IN BATHING DRESSES
New York, July 20.—It was only natural to expect in these times of war, women's clothes would show the military influence, but, somehow, there have not been quite as many military stiles on the whole as we would have thought. Here and there, however, sprinkled among the distinctly feminine frocks, some strictly military frocks appear. One of the most successful dresses on this order is the frock with the cape pictured here. apes have been rampant ever since the springand early summer, and now they are attached to dresses and have become quite an important feature of the

fashions. Much of the charm of these capes is due to the pretty linings which they reveal when they are blown open by the wind. Patterned silks with flowers or dots are employed for the linings, as well as plain colors in shades contrasting with the dress material. The dress in the sketch is of blue gabardine with the popular coindotted foulard for the lining of the cape. The blue foulard with white or yellow dots is very effective for these linings.
Linen Tub Frocks
Now that warm weather is really and truly here, the cool tub frock comes to take the place of heavier dresses. Linen is just as much a favorite this year as ever, but the novelty, about it is that it is combined with volle or organdy. The usual trimming is heavy

stitching, braid or embroidery. Dresses entirely of linen, unrelived by anything but perhaps a collar of organdy, are also considered very smart. One of the new one-piece models, especially suited to misses, is illustrated. Like so many of the simple, youthful styles, this one is slipped on over the head. There is a belt front and back to hold in the fulness of the waist, and there are the inevitable pockets at the sides, but these are the inevitable pockets at the sides, but these are placed on the side panels of the dress, making somewhat of a difference from the usual styles.
In the white dresses for afternoon there is nothing daintier than those of Georgette crepe trimmed with white chalk beads or white silk soutache braid. In one rather elaborate moral

the waist was literally braided all over, and the effect was very rich. Pale pink Georgette trimmed in the same way with pink or white beads or pink braid is just as much favored as the white dresses. This particular shade of pale pink that is so popular at present makes charming evening dresses in soft satin. I have seen some with short sleeves of pink tulle to match, and others in which very fine creamy lace is used to make with soft clinging draperies as the sides are very new, but the normal waistline is still very strong, and now, there are even rumors of the Empire line coming back to favor again.
Novelties in Bathing Dresses
In our attempts to escape the midsummer heat, many are taking refuge in the cooling waters of the ocean. Bathing dresses are consequently in great demand just now. To vary the eternal black satin and navy blue taffeta, some of the newest bathing costumes are of dark red jersey cloth. Dark red and blue rubberized cloth was a combination recently seen. Other novelties include black velvet suits and blue taffetas trimmed with yellow or bright red sateen.
Nowadays, the beach wrap is an important part of the bather's equipment, cry attractive wraps are made of blue or rose-colored jersey cloth cut in circular shape with the fastening on one shoulder. The edges of these are faced with a contrasting color and embroidered in wool. Figured silks as much as the wool jersey.
Silk and Wool Sweaters
The new sweaters made of wool and silk appear to be a trifle shorted than they have been wearing them in the past. There are slip-over sweaters which are sometimes worn like waists with white silk skirts, pleated or plain. The favorite colors are rose, blue and green, also yellow and the cool-looking corn color. The sweaters opened down the front and belted with soft sashes have not been forsaken for the slip-over models. There is a certain grace and softness about them that makes them ever desirable. No summer wardrobe is really complete without a couple of these charming sweaters, whether one spends the summer in the mountains, at the seashore, or even in the city. They may be of Shetland wool, all silk, or the silk and wool mixtures. White Angora sailor collars and cuffs on the colored wool sweaters are very popular, and at the same time becoming.
SCANDAL!
It is easy to suspect. In our law courts we proceed on the theory that a man should be believed innocent till he is proved guilty. As a matter of fact, the majority of people believe him guilty till he proves himself innocent.
The voice of scandal never lacks for an audience. Stand on the street corner and praise a man or woman, and you will have no hearses. Stand on the same corner and assail somebody, make charges, iniminations, inmendoes, and people will crowd to hear you.
Nothing is easier than to put scandalous stories into circulation. Nothing is harder than to stop them, orge they have been started on their devastating course.
Something in the human mind, some mysterious survival of the old days when greed and evil were dominant human traits, prompts men—and women—to credit every scandal that
SATURDAY JULY 28, 1917
comes to their ears.
It makes little difference who is the subject of such a story. The man who has sought all his life to live correctly and honestly has no armour against scandal.
It is easy to counsel young men and women to avoid appearance of evil. It is easy to say that he who cultivates character need have no fear for his reputation.
But even preachers of these platitudes know that they are not true. As long as scandal-mongers exist, reputations can be shattered overnight, no matter how honestly and how toilfully they have been acquired.
You may build your House of Reputation as carefully as you choose; you may avoid sedulously all appearance of wrong; you may mean to do right, and you may succeed in doing right, but somewhere and somehow you are likely to find an enemy ready to stab you with his unclean knife, and the wound he will inflict will prove beyond the power of any physician to heal.
As we said at the beginning, our theory is that a man is presumed to be innocent until he is proved guilty. Technically that is the practice of the courts. But it is never the practice of public opinion, and few are the juries who can withstand public opinion, when it is once thoroughly aroused. It is seldom that an innocent man is sent to his death or even to prison on unfounded charges.
But many is the time that a jury, disagreeing as to a verdict, leaves in the minds of all who see or read of the trial a firm belief in the guilt of the man who has been arraigned be fore them.
In very recent years men with more cleverness than scruple have used organized scandal to accomplish business and political ends.
There has been one recent public instance on an attack on a high public officer who was doing his best for the people, for the whole country—an attack made indirectly, but which was nevertheless calculated to do him and his policies incalculable injury.
It happened that this particular attack failed, but it is quite possible for others to be set on foot that will not fail. The weed seed of suspicion finds far more fertile soil in the human mind than the grain seed of good report. Scandal mongers there will always be, and their possibility for harm will always be great. There is but one way to render them less dangerous, and that is to pay no attention to them.
Without publicity evil will flourish. Wherever there is cause for suspicion, it is a public duty to clean it up. The method of investigation employed when public men happen to be suspected is good as far as it goes. It is seldom thorough enough.
But to credit every evil story of a man's public or private depreciations, without a shadow of foundation, is merely to keep in the hands of the most wretched of all human beings the weapons with which they can destroy their betters, and against which honest men and women have no defense—B.

Among The Masons
Freemasonry exists in practice rather than in knowledge. It is a possession. It is not a knowledge of signs and passwords, but a conception of principles, unfolded by degrees in a sympathetic manner as the capacity to apprehend opens to the neophite. Masonry is a growth. The secrets of Masonry, the workings of the lodge room, passwords and whatnot of the craft might be publicly proclaimed and nothing of value reach the ears of the man whose heart attuned to worldly pursuits responds to Masonic evolutions. Masonry is considered a parent body of all secret societies, although it has no imitators. Societies have been plagiarized for forms and usages, but the Masonic order stands alone; as for centuries in the exemplification of those principles which are peculiarly Masonic.—The Square and Compasses.
The Grand Lodge of Italy is extending Masonry in the newly acquired Italian territory in Africa.
The Needed Trials
Our disquietude and nervous unrest in the afflictions of life prove the very necessity of those afflictions. They prove our lack of submission and faith in God and reveal even to ourselves, if we are thoughtful, the need of deeper experiences and more abiding truthful obedience. If it is seen to be true that an all-wise and an all-powerful God will always bring about the best results, why should we fear, why should we be disquieted? Our involuntary rebellion against God's will and plan for us reveals our need of better acqualutance with, dependence on and harmonization with Him. The tests we shrink from are the ones that we need. Can you stand the test?—Oriental Consistory.

Masonry Above Strife
Antiquity, perpetuity and sincerity are among the most distinguishing attributes of Precensaury. Rooted in the past, it has the veneration always enjoyed by respectable age. It is natural to associate worth with what is old. The imagination is ever excited by any institution that emerges, from the shrouded dawn of tradition.
Then, the fact that Freemasonry has endured gives it esteem. To wear the weighty garments of the centuries, bear the burden of unnumbered years, and yet stand erect and in fact, what strength it implies! To see the material work of man shattered, to witness the fall of empires, to view the death of successive generations, to withstand the shock of time, to buffet the elements and defy decay, this means immortality. Rebold a mountain! How serene it is! Let it stand by the surging sea and yet it is neither bowed-or bruised by the restless billows that beat against its base, and it regards them not. Let it arise from the plain, and yet it is
unscratched by the shifting sands nor does it mind the agitation of the earth, clouds fly in battalion about its breast, torrents spill their reservoirs of rain lightening discharges its deadly artillery, avalanches rumble by, and yet the mountain lifts in calm its sunlit summits through the blue dome of heaven toward the silent and shinning pathway of the stars. This is serenity.
Masonry is like the mountain. The mutations of mundane existence do not ruffle it. Man frets, but Masonry is composed. The fury of faction disturbs it not. It attacks no religion, sides with no party. It is known by fruits, not by fights. Nolslessly it enters the heart and mind of humanity, purifying and instructing. As all-pervading and powerful as gravitation, it is unseen. It permeates life, but belongs to eternity.—Selected.
Adversity
There comes a time in the life of every man when adversity reaches him and, disheartened and discourages, he may deem life not worth the living; yet adversity is to all the greatest teachers. It is the most strict and severe of all instructors set over us. It is by adverse experiences that we may realize and enjoy the blessings with which a bountiful creator may at some other time confer in us. Series of adverse circumstances with which we must combate only serve to strengthen our nerves and may make us the stronger to combat other adverse conditions and bring to the surface many talents that may not have been brought into action, but have lain dormant for want of the use which adverse conditions suggest.
Uninterrupted success and prosperity do not qualify or strengthen a man in the battle of life and against adverse conditions. It takes the waves of this world's adversity, like those of the ocean, to rise us to the heights of greatest endeavor, and exercise our greatest skill and fortitude in the battle of life.
Adversity makes fools the more mad, makes the weak moral cowards, but supers the wise to greater endeavor to do and to dare in the battle for success. He who has never experienced a touch of the world's adversity has never made his own acquaintance and little knows him self or his strength for constant success marrows the mind and leaves us knowing but half, the world, success begets friends who tell us but our merits and we are left ignorant of our short-comings. God lays his afflictions on those He loves most. There is no cross without the crown, and all the blessings of life, its ease and comforts, do not make the strong, sturdy man; but it is the adverse experiences, the storms and tempests and the trials that firm him up and make him great, firm, noble character.
Life is too serious a problem to be treated lightly and life's success is too serious a thing to be militated against by a lack of recognition to life's condition. Implanted in every heart should be the hope of a more bright and a
THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE more noble life and nothing should deter or discourage the earnest man in bringing about that result. Remember, the sun always shines after the storm and no cloud is so dense and black and repellent but what God's sunshine in the shape of honest endeavor illuminates the pathway of the storm.—Masonic Voice-Review.
"MURDER IS NOT DEBATABLE," T. R'S. REPLY TO LABOR
Refuses In East St. Louis Case to Indorse Violence
"Murder is not debatable."
So Col. Theodore Roosevelt concludes a letter on the East St. Louis riots, in reply to communications from Victor A. Olander, secretary of the Illinois branch of the American Fidelation of Labor, who declares he had no idea that organized labor was especially concerned in the uprising against Negroes until Samuel Gompers took it upon himself at the reception to the Russian envoy to defend the rioters.
So far as organized labor is concernen. Col. Roosevelt declares his unqualified belief in it, but he refuses to subscribe to the doctrine that the refusal of "the Negroes to organize or strike" is justification for their being slain.
"I refuse," he says, "to treat any industrial condition as warranting riot and murder, and I condemn all persons, whether representatives of labor or not, who attempt to palliate or excuse such crimes, or who fail to condemn them in clear cut and unequivocal fashion."
Lawlessness, he holds (begets lawlessness, citing as a example the experience of the Industrial Workers of the World in Arizona, and it is the duty of the government to repress all such, even when direct against such organizations as, the I. W. W., which he says, has in effect been acting as an ally of Germany.
The Colonel's letter in part follows: "I was not informed, in any way, as to these economic conditions which it is alleged, led up to the riot, until after Mr. Gompers's speech on July 6. When on that evening, I made my first remarks on the riot. I supposed the underlying cause to be racial, and in my remarks I made no illusion whatever to organized labor, or, indeed, to labor at all, in connection with the riot. "It was Mr. Gompers's speech, which first gave me clearly to understand that the fundamental cause was alleged to be economic, and that organized labor, regarde ditself as especially concerned with the riots.
"Then my attention was called to the newspapers of July 4, which carried an alleged statement by Mr. Michael Wallen, president of the Central Trades and Labor Council of East St. Louis. If this statement is correctly reported: Mr. Whalen said: 'The chief objection to the Negros is that they would not unionize and would not strike.' I hold with the utmost intensity of conviction that it is absolutely impossible for us
E, SATURDAY JULY 28, 1917 to succeed along the lines of an orderly democracy which shall be industrial as well as political, unless we treat the repression of crime, including crimes of violence, and the insistence on justice obtain through the enforcement of law, as prime necessities.
"I, of course, refuse, under any conditions, to accept the fact that certain persons decline 'to unionize and strike' as warranting their murder, or as warranting any kind of violence against them. But I go much further than this. I will aid in every way in my power to secure by governmental as well as private action the remedying of all the wrongs of labor, and in so acting I shall pay no heed to any capitalistic opposition.
"But I refuse to treat any industrial condition as warranting riot and murder; and I condemn all persons, whether representatives of organized labor or not, who attempts to palliate or excuse such crimes, or who fall to condemn them in clear cut and unequivocal fashion.
"I heartily believe in organized labor, just as and even more than I believe in organized capital. I am very proud of being an honorary member of the labor organization, but I will no more condone crime or violence by a labor organization or by wrokingmen than I would condone crime and wrongdoing by a corporation or by capitalists. A square deal for every man! That is the only safe motto for the United States.
"This is a democracy, a government by the people, and the people have supreme power if they choose to exercise it. The people can get justice peaceably, if they really desire it; and if they do not desire it enough to show the wisdom, patience and cool-headed determination necessary in order to get it peaceably, through the orderly process of law, then they haven't the slightest excuse for trying to get it by riot and murder.
"All the governmental authorities concerned in the East St. Louis situation should have taken notice of that situation in advance, and should take notice of it now. The national government and all local governments in places where such a situation is likely to arise should take notice now, and act now. Nine-tenths of wisdom is in being wise in time."
"If there has been improper solicitation of Negroes to come to East St. Louis, or improper housing and working conditions among them after they have come, or an improperly low wage scale, or if anything else improper has been done by capitalists and employers, so that injustice has been done the workingmen, then it was the bounden duty, and is now the bounden duty, of the government authorities to remedy the wrong and see justice done the working men.
"But the first consideration is to stop and to punish lawless and murderous violence. Lawless violence inevitably breeds lawless violence in return, and the first duty of the government is re-

See and talk with the real insurance man! At this hour I am representing in Savannah one of the best insurance companies that you know of. It is best because we help you while you are living by paying you before you die. It also pays you when you die. The American Workmen's Insurance Company. It was incorporated June 26th, 1908 under the laws of the District of Columbia, said laws being enacted by Congress and approved by the President of the United States. No other insurance company has had the highest powers of our country to take an active part in bringing about its organization. When organized there was deposited in the treasury at Washington, D. C., a reserve fund for the protection of its members. This money cannot be used for anything else but to pay you in many ways. First, we pay $6,000 per week accident, $6,000 per week sick benefits and we pay accident benefits as high as $750.00. We pay old age benefits. $500.00 to members while living. Policy loans made to members after five years continuous membership. To keep a $1,000 certificate in force it will not cost middle age people over $1.20 per month. If you pay semi or annually it will cost less. Women and men are equal in this company. Any one can carry a policy who is between the ages of 18 and 55 years. E. B.

lentlessly to put a stop to the violence and then to deal firmly and wisely with all the conditions that led up to the violence. If black men are lawlessly and brutally murdered in the end the effect is to produce lawlessness among brutal blacks.
"We hope to advance throughout the world the peace of righteousness and brotherhood; surely we can best do so when we insist upon this peace of righteousness and brotherhood within our own borders.
"In securing such a peace the first essential is to guarantee to every man the most elementary of rights, the right of his own life. Murder is not debatable.

No recent death has occasioned a more sincere shock and regret among his friends than that of Mr. Henry S. Patterson. Those who knew him loved and admired his amiable and unassuming disposition. He was never known to speak ill of others and in his presence there was ever a degree of pleasantness. His home life and family ties were strong, unselfish and affectionate. As a mechanic he was among the most proficient, and as a friend, unfaltering. His excellent qualities will live long in the minds of those who knew him, and his life should be a source of inspiration.
MORE BLOOD
The shooting of Smalls at Port Wentworth early this week, under circumstances not at all clear, brings to mind the frequency of such tragedies in our midst. Two policemen were tried this week, one whose trial was held Wednesday being acquitted, for the unwarranted and unprovoked shooting of a Negro. They were indicted by the grand jury, without suggestion or request from Negro citizens. Some weeks ago, a Negro prisoner was shot to death in the Union Station, by an inexperienced and too little courageous officer. Last summer a Negro was killed by an officer, while attempting to escape, in fact, was shot in the back; and there are other instances of too quick gun play, where Negroes are concerned, with Negroes always on the suffering end.
It strikes us that the wholesale hiring and discharging of police officers, which has been going on recently, has not been done with sufficient care as to fitness and efficiency. A police officer, without good judgment, good sense, fact and courage, will often add to the disorder in a situation, and aggrivate and augment a bad condition. He comes into a situation, not imbued with a sense of duty to act positively to restore peace, but charges in with an iron whip, as it were, scourging every one in his path, before finding out the real offenders. Only last week, did we see a colored man, arrested at the Central Station for nearly nothing, get into this real trouble while under arrest after being goaded and intimidated into the second and only offense by a second officer. A great many officers of the Sarannah force lack the poise and tact requisite to make, good officers. The evidence this comes in the unnecessary excess of arrests for trivial offenses and the unnecessary number of disturbances on street cars, highways and public places. There are a great many arguments, debates, too much driving and hardness, which could be let alone. The good officer, and there are some, has very little trouble, no restraints and is respected and supported. The others are resented and deserve in.
We understand that police officers must be men of good judgement, good physique and reasonably courageous; that they are duly and formally apprised of their grave and sacred duties of preserving the peace and administering so much of the law as comes within their duties; that they are only authorized to shoot in self-defense and on rare occasions, to prevent commission of felony or the escape of a felon. How often do they resort to their guns under less provocation! How
inconsistent is the claim of self-defense when the victim is shot in the back, or killed unarmed! We have too much of this. Human life is cheaper in America than anywhere else on earth. It is getting to be as cheap in Savannah and Chatham County as in some other places of greater reputations for lawlessness and bloodshed. We believe the City fathers should make an examination of the personell and qualifications of the police officers, and weed out the unfit. We hope that the methods and qualifications for deputizations for private service will become more rigid.
Reckless and wanton gun play by police officers, whose first duty is to preserve and promote peace, bears a close relationship to the commoner crime of lynching, so rampant throut the country.
Let us examine ourselves lest a hitherto proud and fair escutchon be too stained of innocent blood.
CONGRESS. INVESTIGATES. RIOT Representative Dyer of Missouri has introduced (H. J. Res. 118) in the House of Representatives a joint resolution creating a joint committee of the Senate and House to investigate the causes that led up to the East St. Louis outrage of July 2. Mr. Dallinger of Massachusetts has introduced a similar resolution (H.J. Res. 124) asking for a similar committee. Senator Sherman of Illinois has introduced a concurrent resolution in the Senate (S. Con. Res. 10) looking to the same end.
Meantime the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, ever vigilant and vigorous, is busy gathering a mass of evidence to lay before these committees at the proper time. Congress has indicated that it desires a thorough investigation and that the people throughout the country demand it.
Startling discloses of criminal negligence and temporizing on the part of the military officials while the city was under martial law, are expected to be made. One of the saddest commentaries on American justice and militarism is that there always follows these stench of neglect of military duty, on the part of those charged with quelling disturbances of the sort. These agents have always contributed their part in promoting and encouraging violence, blood-shed and pillage. Group blame and responsibility, precluding individual onus, seems to satisfy the sense of duty of the average American soldier.
There apears to be lacking, that keen sense of shame which each soldier should feel when the group in charged with neglect of duty. But these oppressed and assassinated, who sought protection, were Negroes and thus an expensive and extensive Congressional investigation will eventually assign it as the "act of parties unknown" and consign it to the archives where rest the memories and records of Carterville, Springfield, Waco, Atlanta and the rest.
The flames of warfare in Europe have leaped across the ocean to America, upsetting and demoralizing every thing here to some extent,—save only the institution of prejudice and oppression. That seems to hold on to the normal.
JUDGE SAMUEL B. ADAMS
The great masses of the citizens and taxpayers of Savannah and Chatham county are perfectly satisfied and content to have the Board of Education remain in status quo,—both as to its present make-up and its mode of self-ernestation.
While its present method of continuous succession may be technically undemocratic, it is in spirit and act very liberal, broad-visioned and "high-minded." Some democracies, for instance some republican forms of government, are very little democratic, as there are also some people who claim democratic principles which they never "translate into acts." There are some governments, nominally monarchial, which are more liberal with their subject people than democracies and republican forms of government. So also, there are some individuals with the capacity for dealing justly and righteously, without regard to technicalities.
We believe the Board of Education to be constituted of a superior brand of men,—"high-minded" capable and just,—who have always and will continue to bear their mantle of responsibility and stewardship honorably and for the best interest of the people they serve. There is no complaint or criticism of their official conduct, or other, outside the technical, if at all, and all their endeavors and acts are justified by the high motives and impulses actuating them.
We believe the Senate Committee, on Education and the representatives from the First District in the Legislature, are capable of looking past mere form and technicality in the law governing our educational interests, there to see the higher human values embodied and represented in the men charged with the administration of
SATURDAY JULY 28.1917
We feel perfectly safe to hazard the interests of the youth of Chatham county with the present Board. We know that under popular elective methods the personnel of that body could not be improved upon; and we dare to say, we believe its high level could or would not be attained. We have known many an instance wherein in the mantle of grave public responsibility and official position has been cast upon unworthy shoulders. It very often happens that wrongful motives of revenge, selfishness, ambition and patronage defent efficiency and high character in the public service.
We are not opposed to democracy and popular rule. It takes a high democracy to recognize that the educational interests of the people should be free from politics and to secure to education that freedom from interruption and uncertainty. Politics should be as far removed from influencing education as from affecting religious interests. The government's function in education is purely and solely of support and advancement. The educational policies and plans of a people, of a community, should never be subjected to the possible whims and inordinate capers of demagogues and politicians. The course of education should be free, easy-flowing, continuous and progressive.
We are democratic enough to trust to a body of "high-minded" gentlemen the lofty duty of directing the educational interests of our children for yet a season. The particular men involved have been tried and have proved themselves eminently worthy and capable.
The high quality of culture, scholarship and democracy typified in the person of Judge Samuel B. Adams, stands out in bold relief, in all great public questions and debates, where he may be concerned; and his powerful and splendid personality have their just weight of influence against men of smaller mental and moral caliber and of coarser physical fiber. Judge Adams is the 100 per cent. citizen, the unalloyed Christian gentleman.

CONDITION OF COLORED
SCHOOLS IN GEORGIA
report on “Negro Education” just is-
sued by the U, $. Bureau of Ldueation,
Department of Interior, Washington,
and in a special abstract for the state,
Vor each school the following infor-
mation is given: location of school,
name of principal, character of work;
ownership and control, attendance,
-teachers, finaucial condition. The de-
sgriptive sketch of the more important
sthvols ix followed by specific recom-
mendation looking to the future de-
yelopment of the school. ‘Che facts for
ihe individual schools were obtained
by a eld study of Georgia and the
other Southern states covering a peri-
od of nearly three years.
Besides listing the private and high-
er schoolr fur Negroes in Georgia and
vther Southern states, this federal re-
port on colored schovly analyzes, the
provision for education by the states;
discusses means and methods of edu-
cation for Negroes; describes building
and equipment for‘typical schools; and
attempts to give specific aid to public
and private authoritles interested | in
Negro education. The problem before
the colored schools of Georgia is indt-
cated by the fact that iliterates are
still 36.5 per cent. of the colored pev-
ple 10 years of age, and 22 per cent. of
the children J0 to 14 years of age.
The Georgia section of the report
shows that there are, according to cen-
sus tigures, 1,176,987 colored people in
Georgia forming 45 per cent of the to-
tal population, It is pointed out that
these 1,176.87 colored people consti-
tute 36 pergent of all persons engaged
in agricultural pursuits in the state,
und that the uumber of frams. cultlyat
ed by them inereased 48 per cent, be-
tween 1900 and 1910, As farmers rent-
ing and owning land, they have charge
of more than seven million acres of
Georgia soil, and, if their work as
darm Jaborers Be taken into account,
they undoubtedly cultivate a far larg
er area, ‘The report therefore empha
sizes the need of agritultural and in-
“anstiial education, pointing ont, that
public facilities Lor this type of educa-
tion are still practically nexlizible. and
that, while a tew of the private schools
aig rendering fective service, they are
tor the most pant mable te meet the
atate-wide needs.

Lesson V.—Third Quarter, For
July 29, 1917.
THE INTERNATIONAL . SERIES:
Text of the Lesson, Isa. Iv, 1-13—Mem-
ory Verses, 1, 2—Golden Text, Isa. lv,
6—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D.
M. Stearns.
‘The last part of Isalah, chapters x!
to Ixvi, may be sald to begin and end
with comfort for his people, Israel, in
connection with His coming in glory
(x1, 1, 2, 10, 11; Lxvk, 13, 15, 18), and as
then will be the overthrow of thelr en-
emles there is an easy connection be-
tween the Jast lesson and this, These
last twenty-seven chapters of Isatah
are eastly divided info three nines, the
first and second of which end with the
same words, “No peace, saith the Lord
or saith my God, to the wicked” (xfvill,
22; Ivif, 21). Our lesson today is in the
middle‘nine, and the middle chapter of
this nine is the fifty-third, which tells
of the only way of peace for any sinner
or for all sinners. The next chapter
tells of God's unchanging Ioring kind-
ness for Israel and of thelr future es-
tablishment in righteousness by their
Redeemer, the God of the whole earth
(iv, 5-14). Today's lesson chapter ts a
ery to all who thirst to come to the
God of Israel, the fountain of Hving
waters (Jer. Ul, 13). All that is repre-
sented by living water, wine and milk
has been provided fully at infinite cost
“and fs offered freely to whosoever will,
according to Rev. xxi, 6; xxil, 17; Jobn
iv, 14; vil, 37. Love cannot be bought,
nér can any of the gifts of God, but
He says, “I will heal thelr backsliding,
I will Tove them freely” (Hos. xtv, 4;
8. of Sol. vil, 7; Rom, itt, 24),
Spending money for that whieh is
not bread reminds us of His werds
to the 5,000, “Labor not for the meat
which perisheth, but for that meat
which endureth unto everlasting life,
which the Son of Man,shall give unto
you” (John vi, 27). ‘The words “ETeark-
en diligently unto Me, * * * hear and
your soul shall live” (verses 2, 3} are
very like John v, 23, where we learn
that hearing and believing His word
give everlasting life and” the assur-
ance of not coming into judgment for
our sins. In the study of all prophecy
we must remember that His thoughts
are rst for Istael and then for all na-
tions, but there is always a message
for every individual believer, whether
Jew or gentile,.a$ we lave already
seen, The sure mercies of David take
us to the covenant ordered in alt
things and sure which comforted Da-
vid in bis dying hours (If Sara.-n vil, 5;
vil, 10). a
Theie is only one Leader and Com-
mander ‘sho em rule Isracl, even the
one who brought them out of Egrpt
and put them in the promised land
and gave them judges and kings and
always delivered them when they cried
unto Him—Ile of whom the Lord said
to Jeremiah, “I will raise unto David
a righteous Branch, and a King shall
relgn and prosper and shall execute
judgment and justice in the earth;
*** His name shall be called the Lord
Our Righteousness (Jer, xxill, 6, 6).
See also ‘Isa. ix, 6, 7; Luke 4, 81-33.
Nations have never yet In all the bis-
tory of the world turned to the Lord
as nations, but when Israe} ehall have
become a rish*cous nation by recely-
ing their Messlaheut Hs coming again
in power and gtort then shall be ful-
filled” such words as these: “Ibe na-
tions shall cowe to ‘hy light and kings
to the Lrightuess of ‘Thy rtsing;” “Sins

Negro Business League Weekly Letter
By J. C. Lindsay ° 7
fron. tae hbestnnines Of Law's career
on this terrestrial ball, the race of
mankind which has produced the great-
est thinkers, has always ruled, and if
we may jndge the future by the past,
then. you will permit us to say, ,that
thinkers will always rule the thoucht-
“Tess. °
It is wpreasonable to suppose that a
child race like ours, which is only re-
mored from the most eruel and abject
slavery the country ever knew, by just
n few short decades, could have pro
- duced many more helpful thinkers and
constructive masterminds than is true
of the Negro race in America.
Tt would be a poor rehears2i on my
part, to attempt to tax your patience
at this time, to go into the tedious de-
tails of enumerating the many scores
aud hundreds of praiseworthy results
which have been accomplished by the
great thinkers and master minds which
the race produced in the last fifty odd
years. But sufiice it to say, that these
men throuch the medium of hard,
straight thinking, have laid a founda-
tion for the race in this country. tho,
at times. handicapped and discourage,
which any race of people woukl be
proud, yea, happy to build -upon, and
especially is this true, when it is tak-
en into account that these mer. for
the most part, were self-made and setf-
taught. :
We cannot refrain from mentioning
here in this Comnection. fhe-eonstme-
tive work done for the race in tlis
conntry., which had its beghming in
the little haihlet of Tuskezee. Macon
* county. Ala, by that wise master brit.
er and safe race leader, who during his
life time, was commonly called the
“Wizzard of Tuskegee.” the lamented
ooker T. Washington. This man was
a thinker; not selfishly. but’ for the
benefit of his people. It matters but
little how much we may havé differed
with him during his life “time:. as
fo our misunderstanding with refer-
ence to the method “he saw fit te em-
ploy in order that certain ends might
be met which in overy case, redounded
to the lasting benefits of atl the peo-
ple of his race. no one up to this gond
day, has ever had the affrontery to
stand up in the open and say, and put
their finger on the time «nd ‘place.
when this great wizzard and safe race
Aeader, ever cross-stepped his race for
the henefit of himself and his immed.
fate family. As mueh cannot truth
‘fully be sail of many others, whose
meat and drink is playing to the foot
lights.
But this not what we started aut te
say. We had intended to try as hes
we could to impress the readers of ow
weekly letter with ‘the importance o
¢o-gperating with all the racial uplift
ing agencies, in the matter of convin
ing the young men of the race, hor
essential it is to do some hard, straigh
thinking. Not that brand of selfist
thinking which aims te subordinat:
everybody and everstihng fo “me an
mine.”
Savannah is a great field for ‘th
thoughtful business man. No straight
forward, appreciative Negro busines
man, who thinks painstakingly of th
interests of the peeple of Savannah wil
find a better place or people, in whic
and amone whom to do business an

as helpfut will be trained by him, an
will find it so warm for him that bh
will soon find himself hunting mor

The helpfol and optimistic thinkin
of the fathers. has been a wonderft
asset to the race in {ts struggles alon
the Hnes of commercial and busines
endeavors, which have challenged th
admiration of the world. These met
thru hard, straight thinking, have lai
the sure foundation for the race in th

in a position to render assistance to
‘a worthy member of his race, who may
find his or herself absolutely in need,
that’s the very position in which T want.
to be. And on and on we might enu-
merate, at length, but what's the use?
Are not the foregoing your sentiments?
“Have I not given the real facts in the:
case? Is there an honest white ull
or a courageous Negro whom you would)
fielieve on his oath, in the entire state
of Georgin, who ean ‘truthfully dispute
one word along this line? The truth!
to tell, is simply this, human nature is
the same the world over, always has
been and always will be.
As strangely as it may seem, there
are young men of the race, who helieve
| that many of the great business en-
terprises conducted by men and wo-
men of the race came to them through
some “hook or crook.” and they are
now waiting for something like that
to come their way, so they too, may
be at the head of some great Negro
Iusiness concern. Tut nothing could
be further from the truth. Any time
you see a man or woman of the race
at the head of some great enterprise
you may pnt it down once for all time
to come, that that man or woman, as
the case may be, thouglt, planned and
worked his or her way to the place
where the happy-soJucky fellow
thought yas attained only by some
“hook or crook.” .
There are men and women of the
race In the state of Georzia. who are
dinz business and who are ,sheceed-
ing as Imsiness factors in their respec-
tive communities, wha, T dare say, Wave
not thought what It ill mean to the
Dnsiness element in this state to make
the sacrifice to go 10 the National Ne-
gro Business League which is to mect
in the city of Chattanoosa, in the
month of August. coming. It can not
be truthfully said that the reason for
their seeming carelessness in this re-
gard is doygn right selfishness, but on
the other land, it is Iarsely due to the
fact, that they have not taken the
time to think of what their presence
will moun to the promoters of this na-
tional Negro business srzanization.
Nothing done hy the Negro Dusiness
clement in this state will give the pres-
idént, the Mon. J. C. Napier. and the
national seeretary, Emmett J. Seott
more genuine pleasure?than to know
that Georgia, the richest of aT states
in this union of: states, so far as the
Negro ix concerned will make a “shaw-
ing at the forthcoming National Nezro
Tnsiness meeting, commensurate with
its numerical strensth and its great
J wealth.
Therefore we must earnestly appeal
to the Negro business element in this
state, to present yourselves at Chatta-
é nooga in August, in nmnbers that none
Hill have cause to zainsay.
‘| As we will have-only one'more tuect-
‘Ving before the National Business Tca-
‘Tone meets, we earnestly urge that every
‘| member of this local league attend the
‘| next meeting. which will be at head-
>| quarters, Wednesday yening, August 1.
