The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXII GREAT TRIBUTE FOR POLICEMAN KILLED BY THIEF IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL CORTEGE LED BY DEPARTMENT Negro Officer Killed in Performance Of Duty New York, August 11—Policeman Robert Holmes who was shot and killed early last Tuesday morning, was honored by one of the most impressive funerals in the history of the Police Department. Early Friday morning the crowd began to gather around Lenox Ave., and 140th street. By 1:15 p. m., when the cortege moved from the home, G3 W. 140th street, the crowd numbered many thousands. First came a squad of mounted police, followed by the police band of fifty pieces, Commissioner Woods and Second Deputy Commisisoner Durham in an automobile, Chief Inspector Dillon, who was acting for Chief Inspector Schmitterger who is ill, Inspector Ryan of the 6th District, in another car, and several captains. Next came two companies of policemen under command of Capt. Ward of the 38th Precinct. Then came the white hearse with six pall bearers walking beside it. Two of these were brother Negro officers of Holmes. Four open carriages, laden with floral tokens followed, then came the Elks' band under Billy Butler, leading Manhattan Lodge No. 45, of which Holmes was a member, Imperial Lodge No. 127 (Bronx) and Monarch Lodge No. 45 all Elks. A number of ladies, members of the Fishermen of Gallilee Society, and one Red Cap from Grand Central where the dead officer was formerly employed, were all in line. The procession passed down Lenox avenue to 135th street where it turned west to pass by the 38th Precinct Station house, to which Holmes was attached. When the procession was passing the quarters of Hook and Ladder Co. No 30, in West 135th street, the firemen were all outside standing at attention as a signal mark of respect. The procession went thru 135th street then down 8th avenue, to 132nd street, east to 7th avenue to 134th thence to Bethel A. M. E. church. Admittance to the church was by card only; a heavy condon of policemen was necessary to keep back the dense throng. At the church the galleries were filled early. Downstairs was reserved for the funeral procession. Rev. K. R. Cooper, assisted by Revx. Bolden, Bishop, Wilson and others met the coffin at the door. At large American flag enveloped the coffin, upon which rested the dead man's hat. "Asleep in Jesus" was the first hymn sung. The mother of Holmes became hysterical during the singing, and continued so throughout the service. "Nearer my God to Thee" and "Lead Kindly Light" were feelingly sung by the police quartet, under leadership of Lieut. Nurney. Rev. K. R. Cooper, pastor of Bethel Church, delivered a powerful sermon. He eulogized the deceased; and, at the same time shot home some telling remarks, which, notwithstanding the solemnity of the occasion, brought forth murmurs of approval. He said in part, "And I say to you, Mr. Police Commissioner, Robert Holmes, is gone—supply his place with another Negro. Open the door; twelve million Negroes are crying for the chance to make good. Robert Holmes spoke to the city of New York and the world in general. He has shown that, out of one blood, God Almighty made all of us." He thanked the Commissioner and Police Department for the signal honors they had paid the dead. Rabbi Blum, a police chaplain, spoke next—an elderly gentleman, much liked by the members of the 38th Precinct. He told of his personal acquaintance with Holmes and spoke very feelingly. Several selections were sung by individuals. The last to speak was Police Commissioner Woods. He said, "I am only here to pay tribute to a brother policeman—n real man—and I am glad to say that I am proud of him, proud of his derogation to duty. His bravery should be an inspiration to all." Owing to the lateness of the hour, the Elks and Fishermen of Gallilee generously waved their special services for the dead at that time. The police arrangements were in charge of Capt W. H. Ward, and were admirable. In leaving the church, however, a terrible crush occurred at the entrance, caused mainly by the thoughtless crowding of the women. BEAUFORT S. C.

BURKE GOES TO WASHINGTON Grand Auditor Edw. H. Burke of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows leaves today for Washington and Philadelphia 'where, with the other grand auditors, J. M. Miller of Newark, N. J.; Dr. C. C. Johnson, Alken, S. C., they will audit the books of the order. The work will probably consume three weeks. Mr. Burke will also visit New York and Boston 'while away. BEACH INSTITUTE TO OPEN MONDAY OCT. 1. Beach Institute opens Monday October 1. There are some changes in the courses of study which, it is believed, better adapts them to the needs of the students and the community. An extra teacher has been appointed to take charge of the work in pedagogy and practice teaching classes. The work in pedagogy covers two years. The first is preparatory to the second which is almost entirely practice work. There will be also review in all subjects in which applicants for teachers' positions may be examined. The school is fortunate in securing the services of Miss May Belle Aldrich of Upton. Mass. to supervise this work. She has had thirteen years experience as a teacher and the greater portion of this time she has been supervisor of primary and intermediate grades. The coming year more attention is to be given to the study of technical music and the teachers' time will be devoted to this work exclusively. At least two periods each week for every grade will be allowed for music and the work will be as carefully graded as in the other subjects. The academic credit for work in music will be one half unit each term. With the large teaching force more thorough and systematic training in mechanic for the boys will be given than has been possible heretofore. This work will also count for academic credit. The wooden floors in the cooking and sewing rooms are to be replaced with concrete. This will add very much to the comfort of the students and the effectiveness of the work. Beginning with the coming term grades one to four will be reopened to a limited number of pupils. This is done to meet the wishes of many parents who desire for their children more thorough and systematic training than is possible in the crowded condition of many of the other schools. Those wishing to enter their children in these grades should apply early. In view of the vastly increased cost of operating the institutions controlled by the American Missionary Association and the feeling that the available financial resources of the Association will not be proportionately increased during the coming year, the Executive Committee has instructed all principals to make a slight increase in the tuition rates. The hardship involved is recognized, but it is not only fair but imperative that a small part of the additional burden be divided among the ten thousand students who attend A. M. A. schools. Tuition for the coming term will be as follows: Grades one to four, inclusive. 75 cents per month; grades fifth and sixth $1.00; grades seventh and eighth $1.25; grades ninth to twelfth $1.50. LIEITENANT MIDDLETON Lieutenant C. C. Middleton of the Medical reserve corps, who was ordered to report at Fort Oglethorpe, remained there only a day or so being dispatched to Fort Des Moines, Ia.. where the Negro officers training camp is located. REV. WESTON RESIGNS AFTER LONG SERVICE Rev. Milton Moran Weston, for eleven years vicart in charge of St. Augustine's church. West Broad and Bolton streets, has tendered his resignation to that body, to accept a call as rector of St. Luke's parish, Tarborough, in the diocese of North Carolina. He will succeed his father-in-law who served the parish for thirty-seven years. The resignation takes effect the first of October. Mrs. Lucy Spring and children left list Jerith for New York. B. S. INGRAM AND B. J. DAVIS THE CENTRAL FIGURES Much Concerned. Over Outcome of Meeting by S. C. M. Macon, Ga.-The thirtieth annual grand lodge session of the District Grand Lodge No. 18, Georgia Corporation of Odd Fellows, met here on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week with more than a thousand members of the order in attendance. The delegates began arriving as early as Sunday, and by Monday night the city was thronged with the lukkmen. The public exercises were held on Tuesday and immediately after the conclusion the committee on credentials was appointed. It was feared that this procedure would have brought forth objections and that, a fight would be made upon the adoption of the report, but instead, the report was adopted without a seat being contested. There were many rumors float as to the part the opposition would play in the running of the convention, but they were outnumbered by the Davis-Ingram crowd and did not attempt to put up the light that was expected. Ingram and Davis had complete control of the affairs and were the central figures in the meeting. Pitts, Styles, Johnson and Graves who were the leading factors for the opposite side were very active among the delegates and endeavored to bring them around their way. It is understood that at a caucus held by the Pitts, Styles, Johnson and Graves faction, a slate was made up with Decker Johnson for Grand Master; J. M. Pitts, deputy grand master; J. C. Styles, grand secretary, A. Graves, grand treasurer and D. B. Gibson, grand director. One of the features of the meeting was the adoption of some radical changes in the endowment plan, it being mentioned that the endowment feature was the main cause of the disruption of the order in the state. The revision provides for the creation of a board of directors for the Georgia Corporation; consisting of nine members elected to serve, three for six years, two for four years and two for two years. The board is to be incorporated under the laws of the state and it is supposed to control all money and property belonging to the order. There is much concern over the outcome of the meeting by the Sub Committee of Management and just how that body will handle the matter was generally discussed by the members on the outside of the convention. The action of Pitts, Styles and Johnson in whose hands were trusted the restoration of the charter by the Sub Committee has placed many lodges in the state in an akward position. It is thought that the fight that has been going on for two years is not yet ended and that the matter would probably be taken to the United States Supreme court. The election was held on Wednesday night and consumed not more than an hour. The following were elected: B. S. Ingram, grand master; B. J. Davis, grand secretary; B. L. Jordan, deputy grand master; S. K. Coles, grand treasurer; L. H. A. Bell, grand director. Auditors: T. K. Pursley, E. J. Matthews and w. L. Hughes; H. L. Johnson, attorney and Dr. A. D. Jones, medical examiner. The board of directors of the Georgia Corporation is composed of the following: B. S. Ingram, B. J. Davis and Sim Jones, six years; Dr. E. J. Turnier and Dr. R. C. Williams, four years; and H. H. Face and J. H. Watson, two years. The Grand Household of Ruth also hold its session and elected officers. MR. SHERMAN SPEAKS Mr. R. W. Sherman was the principal speaker at the services of the First Congregational church last Sunday morning. He spoke on the Negro exodus and his paper was one of the best treaties on the subject listened to and the audience was very highly pleased with it. The services were under the auspices of the Woman's Missionary Aid and an interesting program was carried out. Services tomorrow will be as usual with the exception of night services, which have been discontinued for this month. WAYCROSS, GA., NEWS The Booker T. Washington memorial entertainment was well attended on August 8. Quite a neat sum was raised, for the fund. Messrs Scarlett, Galnes and Creagh, left Monday night via A. C. L., to attend the National Business League that meets in Chattanooga, Tenn. Mrs Fannie Gray of Blackshear was in the city on Sunday. Rev.

Misses Washington and Davis were the winners of the first prize. They tied at the Sunday school convention which convened here. Rev. W. O. P. Sherman, Jr., and Prof. Maxwell made interesting talks at the convention. BIG SCRAP MONDAY One of the best boxing contests pulled off here for some time is scheduled for Monday night at the alrdome, Hall lane and West Broad street, when Billy Hooper of Atlanta and Rough House Ware of New York will be the principles in a fifteen round contest. Both men are top notchers, being among the best light-weight in the country. Aside from the main bout which will begin at 9:30 o'clock, there will be several interesting preliminaries and the usual six boy laugh-producing battle royal. Manager Jennings says that Monday night's fight will be one of the toughest and most exciting programs ever offered by him. He has been trying to get Hooper and Ware together for some time and now that he has succeeded the lovers of the fistic sport should show their appreciation of this classy card by turning out in large numbers. The price of admission will be 50 and 75 cents. THE VOLE COLLEGE Several days ago the Vole College of Nashville, Tenn., decided to open up a class in Savannah for the purpose of teaching young ladies the advance art of growing hair and beauty culture. The school began under favorable circumstances, many students began to enroll rapidly. Interest and enthusiasm can be seen everywhere. They now have a class that is representative and interesting and which gives much promise of future usefulness. Being an institution with modern facilities, modern, clean and sanitary methods. Being the one institution in this country with an experienced chemist to manufacture their preparations, and having established a national reputation for thoroughness, efficiency and reliability, they now have thousands of successful graduates scattered over almost this entire country. In keeping with the onward move of civilization, advance knowledge has come in the fields of hair and beauty culture. Our people are wanting more than they did five or ten years ago. Each year brings improvements and new wants. Their work is growing by leaps and bounds. They are doing the race good. Their work speaks for itself and we will not be surprised if the entire city goes after it. ```markdown ``` NUMBER 50 LARGECROWD TO THE TWO BAPTIST CONVENTIONS MAJORITY GOING TO MUSKOGEE MEETING Local Delegation to Take in Many Side Trips The Baptist of the city are now preparing to send their representatives to the national conventions of that denomination which meets September 6th to 11th. The great majority of the local delegates will go to the wing which convenes in Muskogee, Okla., while those in attendance at the Atlanta meeting will be very few in number. The Muskogee crowd, headed by the Rev. T. J. Goodall of the First African Baptist church, will leave the city on September 3rd, going to Columbia, SK.C., where they will join a party and secure a special Pullman which will carry them into Muskogee. Just who is going to attend the Atlanta meeting we could not ascertain yesterday. After the convention in Muskogee, several of the Savannahians intend taking extensive side trips. Four of them, Rev. and Mrs. Goodall, Mrs. S. Williams and Mrs. Frances Brown, will take in Denver, Col.; Salt LakeCity, Utah; Des Moines, Ia. where they will look in upon the five local boys at the Negro officers' training camp; Chicago, Memphis and Birmingham. Food Speculators Rob Public, Wholesale Dealer Charges Chicago, June 12- Speculation in canned goods must be stopped by the government if the public is not to be relied on, an official of a Chicago wholesale grocery house declared today. He said that speculators are making 100 per cent, profit on the corn, peas and tomatoes for which the public is now paying virtually double prices. Peas retail for 25 cents a can, and tomatoes and corn, which formerly sold at 12½ to 15 cents a can, now brings 20 to 25 cents. This wholesaler says the speculators buy canned corn at 62½ cents a dozen, tomatoes at 90 cents and peas at 75 cents, which they sell at $1.50 to $2.10. "Allowing," he said "for the high cost of tin cans and cases, No. 3 tomatoes cost the canner 80 cents, peas 62½ cents and corn 67 cents adpzen." CHOIR CONTEST TO BE HELD There will be a grand choir contest by the choirs of the several churches of the city at the First Tabernacle Baptist church, Alice street, west, at 8:30 o'clock Monday night, August 21. First church, Franklin square; First A. B. Church, Bolton and West Broad streets. The choirs taking part will be St. Paul, C. M. E. church; Evergreen Baptist church, Thankful Baptist church; Friendship Baptist church, Bethel Baptist A. M. E. church, St. Luke church; Mt. Zion Bapt church; There will be a first and second prize of $8.75 and $2.75 to the ministers. Judges: Mr. James A. Monroe, Mr. R. W. Gadsden, Mr. L. C Kelson, Mr. G. W. Haywood, Mr. J. Ford, Mr. G. W. Austin, D. Davis, manager; Bev. E. D. Davis, pastor. S. C. Overstreet, well known chauffeur, who was called before the army examining board for his country, passed a good physical examination and was just about to be accepted when it was learned that he has a wife dependent upon him. But Overstreet waved this objection, stating that there was no danger of his better half being thrown on the mercy of the city for she would be adequately provided for. This put the board in a quandary. Some said he would have to wait until married men were called while other members said he could be made one of Uncle Sam's fighting men forthwith. They consulted a little book to find out who was right, but the book was wanting on this subject. The advocates of the negative side of the que t vailed and Overstreet was told that he could not join the new national army yet a while but would be in direct line for service when the call is issued for married men. Oh, no, S. C. Overstreet is not a slacker by any means. PAGE TWO AUGUST FASHIONS REFLECT THE APPROACH OF FALL A Peep into the Future Discloses Long Tunics and Smart Satin Dresses New York, August 10.—In August in spite of the fact that this is the month when midsummer heat is at its height, women who are interested in fashions generally begin to turn their thoughts to the new season that is approaching. I should really say their thoughts are forced to this direction, for the shops are already beginning to show new autumn silks for dresses, and other things for the fall season. A walk on Fifth avenue will disclose many a shop window devoted to velvet hats, others displaying fall dress- C One of the New Versions of the Tunic Dress er and suits, and sprinkled here and there among them we even see heavy coats with fur collars and fur trimmings. In the face of all this, even those of us who have been set against the idea of rushing the seasons cannot help showing some curiosity as to what we shall wear when the cool weather comes. And, after all, there is some method in this seeming madness, and something to be said for the reason of it. For those who have to get their wardrobes early it must be considered a great privilege to have a peer into the fashions for autumn as early as this, for certainly no one would relish the idea of making over a dress that had been made one or two months before the autumn styles became known, which might very easily happen if dresses made up toward the end of the summer are not planned McCullough The Tie-On Dress is a Familiar Sight These Days with a view to having them stylish for fall wear. There is no doubt that the long tunic will be popular for the coming season—everything goes to show this. In the very newest models the tunic is employed and in ever so many charming ways. In the smart dress illustrated above, the long tunic, pressed into straight pleats and parted at the side, shows one of the favored designs. Buttons placed close together on the one side and bound buttonholes—just as many of them as there are buttons—on the other side, make the opening of the tunic much more interesting, for this is certainly a novel treatment and one which will attract lovers of the unusual. The dress, with its straight bodice and straight stitched belt, is very characteristic of that smart simplicity which now marks a great many of the new modes. This dress in satin or serge would undoubtedly prove very J. B, BUTLER DEALER IN FAMILY GRO ERIES SOFT DRINKS, ET. Phone 4627-J DUFFY AND CUYLER STS.

The upper part is usually of sheer or chiffon, and the band of silk or satin. In very elaborate dresses the band is embroidered in several colors or braided in a contrasting or self-color. Brown and the Wine Shades Although there is a predominance of navy blue at present, brown and the wine shades will be very smart for flal, according to the best authorities. Smart dresses of brown satin with white satin collars and cuffs are already seen, and this color is also noticed in the new Georgette dresses which are worn over silk slips of a contrasting color. All-black satin frocks or black with white trimmings are very fashionable, too. Stripes and plaids are to be very strong in silks as well as wool fabrics, and very interesting are the new combinations. On a very dark blue background there is a stripe, not very wide, formed from three narrow stripes with green in the center and orange on either side. Another effective striped material has a navy back ground with fairly wide green stripes and a hairline blue stripe in the center and on the sides of the green. Bolder stripes in various bright colors also widen the variety of the striped fabrics. For separate skirts these new stripes and plaids are particularly smart and may be worn effectively with coats of a plain color. The Tie-on Dress The tie-on dress in wool jersey, satin shanting or taffeta is a very familiar sight these days, for everyone seems to possess a dress cut on these lines. The model illustrated above is one of those very wearable frocks which fit in on many occasions. It has not only its tie-on style to recommend it, but the straight effect of the pleated skirt and the side pockets with the contrasting laps which are still counted among the fashion features of the hour. Tie-on styles have been so much of a success that not only have we dresses with sash ends that tie at the back, but little separate waists also, and the very latest is a coat suit made on these lines. A very modlish suit it makes too. The one I saw was a mustard-colored shuntung with a large white collar. The coat was about fingertip length and the front was cleverly cut to cross in front and tie behind, while the coat proper extended below the hips BLACKSHEAR DIST. CONVENTION Dear Sir: Will you please allow me space in your valuable paper to give to the public a brief account of the Blackshear District Sunday School Convention held at St. Thomas A. M. E. church. We were blessed with favorable weather, and the convention was largely attended. Also the ministers and delegates spared no pain in contributing their part in making the convention a success along all lines. The special theological discourses: annual, educational and missionary, were masterpieces and were enjoyed by all. The annual sermon by Rev. J. E. Brown of Jesup, the educational sermon by Rev. J. W. Johnson of Waycross, the missionary sermon by Rev. H. S. Johnson of Scriven were good. Prof. S. E. Frazier was elected chief secretary with Miss Surrency, assistant. Mrs. A. R. Ross presided at the organ with Miss Robinson assistant The choir rendered good service. The scripture reading each morning was inspired. Also the modern Sunday school superintendent by Rev. J. E. Brown was worthy of its name. FOR RENT—Two Stores in Savannah Home Association Building, Minis Street, one door from West Broad. Well lighted, gas heated and convenient from every point.

Among The Mason's Among The Mason's Big-hearted people see faults in others, of course; blindness never helped anybody, and to pretend to be blind when in reality you see clearly is even worse. But those whose hearts are generous and kindly, do not hold the faults of others so close that it shuts out all the good in them. They see the flaw, but they are looking for beauty. They linger over the weakness in order that they may find how to help them. They never point out such discoveries to a neighbor, but rather draw his attention to the good things they have found by careful scrutiny. You are going to find fault in others till this world of ours has made a great advance toward perfection. The important question is, what are you going to do with them after you have found them? And the answer tells what you yourself are. For a loving heart throws a mantle of charity over another's faults and hides them from unkindly eyes.—Scottish Rite Bulletin. The Price of Peace While it is a matter of little moment to most Masons, more thought might well be devoted to the reason for such a large number of Worshipful Masters saying "I wish my term was finished." Before he arrives at that station the brother who has become master of his lodge devotes a comparatively small part of his time to Masonry, as a usual thing. As Master he finds he must give a large part of his time and talent to affairs Masonic, if he is to answer appeals to and demands upon him. The Master is expected ever to turn the listening ear, and to share the trials and troubles of all who seek his sympathy; to carefully guard the treasury of the lodge, yet to provide ample for the entertainment of the members; to visit the sick and hurry the dead; attend to countless details of which the lodges take no more than passing notice. The Master is expected to be all-wise and ever willing; he must obey the will of the majority, though by so doing he offends a few. Criticism of his acts is certain, but he seeks to receive the minimum. His reward is the honor of office and the satisfaction of service. He obtains a place and pays the price.—Masonic Sentinel.

Be farbearing, temperate, chaste—because voluptuousness, intemperance and sensuality are destructive to your existence, and will render it miserable. Be a good citizen—because our country is necessary for thy security, and happiness, and well-being. Defend thy country with thy life—because it is she who secures thee in thy property, and in the possession of all things near to thy heart; but never forget that humanity has rights; if thy country wrong thee, if she refuses the happiness and suffers thee to be oppressed, leave her in silence, but never trouble her. Support adversity with resignation.—Masonle Home Journal. --- Masonic Labor Masonry is work, and no member is a true Mason until he has risen to the true dignity of his work. As we labor to make ourselves a perfect building, without blemish. Character is a decisive factor. Through it we attain to a personality strong enough to move others, and all great work bears the imprint of self-denial. How then should we, as Masons, work? Let us stand for the teachings of Masonry, and maintain, support and defend them. Let us serve well our state and country. Let us side with truth and love for truth's sake. With all our strength let us right the wrongs and relieve the oppressed. Let us arise the fallen, sustain the weak, and lend aid to those in want and harrassed by distress. Let us find more frequent occasion to hear the obligations administered that we may the better observe them. Let us within our lodge seek to uplift those who are in need of wisdom as to the realities of the teachings of Masonry. —Selected. Be Sociable A writer says "that fraternity without friendship is a farce, and friendship without fraternity an empty name." There are lodges where cold formality prevails, and visiting brethren feel they are not welcome. In the lodge brethren should exchange glad greetings, and make vistors welcome, be sociable and happy. Members and visitors will not attend meeting unless there is something to attract. The essence of Freemasonry is brotherhood, and the fires of fraternity should be kept brightly burning. Let us cultivate the social features of the craft equally with the ritualistle.—Toronto Freemason.

Peace on Earth Is the hope of peace on earth but a beautiful dream? Are the prophecles of Israel's ancient seers to come to naught?

Will men always settle their differences by brute force, and will might forever make right? We cannot believe it., We will not believe it. Say what you will, the world is growing better. Men are seeking after the ideals of righteousness. Never were churches, synagogue and mosques more numerous than today. Never were more men enrolled under the banner of religion.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 18TH, 1917 In times like these—in times of stress—it is most natural that mistakes will be made by men of high position and low, who bear the great and grave responsibility of directing the new and untried measures, of the nation. Because men are fallible and human, because it is human to err, it could not be expected that the most learned and experienced men would be able to meet the myriad issues, internal and international, faultlessly and free of criticism. There is one great principle of Americanism, however, to which all Americans can and ought subscribe,—one quality which every man worthy of his patrimony should possess—and that is loyalty—an abiding faith in the conscience and good faith of American statesmanship. Our national political system has produced no traitors, nor purchaseable men, even if it has yielded griffers and unscrupulous money-makers at times. History has yet to record the uncontrovertible testimony to American treason. Errors of judgment in matters of national and international policy, in times like these when the integrity of the nation is in peril, should be received with patience and sympathy, not with criticism, derision, dissension and disaffection. Now that the country is plunged in war, the sensible, loyal and patriotic peace advocates have thrown their strength on the side of the government and have carefully avoided giving any comfort to the enemy. A few misguided, and shortsighted of the pacifists have, on the other hand, sought to "rock the boat" of national unity and preparedness for national defense, by agitating and mobilizing the scattered elements of opposition to the national war program. We are proud to point to the glaring record of the twelve millions of American Negro patriots who have to date, furnished not a single disloyal or unworthy note. No individual, no group, no creed or cult has uttered a word or exhibited a move which could be construed as disloalty or disaffection. And every American, white and black, and every foreigner, even, seems to acknowledge and concede the fixedness and steadfastness of Negro patriotism. Was such loyalty and faith ever duplicated? Did any race or class similarly situated, behave in such splendid and worthy manner? Can a just and righteous nation fail to revere and honor such a manifestation of citizenship ideals? It has its explanation in the Negro's abiding faith in the ultimate success of right and righteous conduct. The American Negro has the vision to waive for the present the freaks and foibles of race relationships, the weaknesses of human nature, the frailties of governments, the subordination of merit, in the struggle for permanent and greater good. We believe that the conscience of America will be aroused and informed of the real worth of Afro-Americans to the nation and to civilization, and with one mighty accord grant to them first fruits of American civilization. This, then, is the thread of faith which keeps the hope of black men bouyant and resolved. Time and patience with the growth of men's souls will eventually "turn the tangle straight." A DETRIMENTAL POLICY For several years, off and on, we have called attention, to one form of our fraternal obligation which we believe to be of delirium to the various orders which enforce it. We refer to obligatory attendance at funerals of members. It is very necessary that this matter be given serious consideration if this time when everybody is being urged to husband his every resource and prepare for a period of stingency, the duration of which is uncertain. While this matter is, and has been for years, of paramount importance to us, we are at this particular moment reminded of its seriousness because no longer than this week our attention was directed to the funeral of an ordinary artisan which more than twenty-five of his co-workers attended in a body. All of these men lost a half day's work "to pay the last tribute of respect" to their deceased brother and incidentally one contractor's job was delayed a half day. It is perfectly fitting that we should pay proper respect to the dead, but we question the wisdom of giving so much valuable time to funerals thereby temporarily crippling industry and at the same time losing a whole half day's pay. Would it not be a happy and at the same time just solution of the problem, if these lodges which require obligatory funeral attendance, were to have alternating committees of four to attend funerals instead of asking that all members do so, thereby causing, in case of the big lodges, one hundred and more men to lose a half day's work to attend the funeral of a brother who in many instances is hardly known by more than a handful of the membership? The time has come when we must place our lodge funeral obligations on a practical basis. Obligatory attendance—and by the way, a man's work is not considered a valid excuse in most instances for non-attendance—we fear is more harmful than beneficial during these strenuous times. An employer working a large force of men can ill afford for his work to be crippled by the attendance of a large number of his workmen at the funeral of some one who was in one wise connected with his work and who was only slightly known by his men. This sort of thing in not going to be tolerated always, and we would now suggest that those lodges and societies which cling to obligatory funeral attendance make a change in their laws and instead of forcing all the members to turn out to attend a member's funeral have alternating committees of four, whose duty shall be to attend funerals, in turn. It might preserve to us our present industrial standing and at the same time benefit our pocket books. RESTORE SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADES Our editorial of three weeks ago, touching upon the restoration of the seventh and eighth grades to the curricula of the East Broad, West Broad and Maple street schools, is meeting with the hearty approval and endorsement of the people. A great many people had not, before that time, realized the seriousness of the consequences of cutting down the courses of study at these schools. In addition to the objections to the present plan of centralizing all the work of these grades at the Cuyler street school already set out we have been furnished with and reminded of others and what is more important we have been confirmed in our observation that a great many children, who otherwise would go on and complete the full course, under the present plan, simply stop off—"finished"—and that marks the end of their school career. As we pointed out, the matter of inconvenience, alone, to say nothing of the inevitable upsetting of the mental and moral attitude of the pupil himself, when the "break" comes at such an illogical period in the child's development, is sufficient reason against the present plan. It children realize the value and importance of education, sufficiently to make the change despite the obstacles and difficulties; or if their parents and guardians realize it, sufficiently, to coerce them and to facilitate their going, the plan might work for a while, as a proposition of economy for the board. Unfortunately, however, untrained people cannot think for themselves, they cannot judge as between the splendid value of education on the one hand and the sacrifice which must be made to obtain it, on the other; and that is exactly what schools are for. How inconsistent with any policy was this dismantling of the E. Broad, West Broad and Maple schools, any way! We have tried to interpret and fathom the reason and wisdom of the Board in instituting such a change, but we fall to see it justified in economy or efficiency. It may be the Board has some good reason outside the standpoints of economy and efficiency. If so, we would like to know them. Educational facilities for Negro children in Savannah are entirely too meager already, and it would seem to be only fair and logical that the Board of education prohibits a willing and sympathetic ear to the patient and well meaning colored citizens who feel that the schools have lowered in efficiency and failed in effectiveness under the new order of things and that the schools should be restored to their former status. time when the presuilling ugly habit of the police against Negroes was a too frequent use of the club, but evidently this was too mild a treatment so now they have resorted to the pistol. The habit of officers of the law killing Negroes on the slightest pretext whatever is not abating, but, to the contrary, it is increasing and has REIra B. August There Why, The teachers in the schools are well aware that this curtailment of grades in three of the schools has not been a success, and that the conditions at present obtaining are far from what they were. They are all aware that for the last two years Savannah has failed to send the usual quota of grammar school graduates to the normal schools and colleges outside Savannah. They, perhaps, have noticed this conspicuous result, while failing to consider the more serious defection from the seventh and eighth grades under the present plan. The colored people of Savannah have been loyal to the Board of Education; they have been patient under serious disadvantages; there has been little or no agitation for better school facilities while there has been reason for ceaseless complaint. The Board has probably noted that leading Negroes, and thinking, have considered the financial condition facing the Board and governed themselves and directed the people accordingly. We need more schools and better; we need a higher standard of fitness for teachers. We need safer and more sanitary school buildings. We are worse off than any other city-of size in this regard: We should have more and better equipment in three of the schools. The excellence of the Cuyler street school building cannot meet the troubles which confront the patrons, teachers and pupils at the other schools. We understand that this matter has been discussed at the ministerial unions and before several other civic organizations, but these must work together, think together, and act together on this matter if the change is to be effected. The change back to the old order should be made at the opening of the fall term. There would be very little difficulty in bringing it about, and we think the matter might be brought before the Superintendent and the Board of Education, so as to give them the chance to work out the problem of change to advantage. The Urban League, alive to the welfare of the people, has appointed a committee to investigate the matter, studying the effects and results of the two years' experiment and compiring it with the past. When this committee has finished its work it should at once call the other organizations interested into conference and arrange to take the matter before the Board of Education. It should be easy to secure results. The Board of Education is composed of splendid men, just and farseeing. They will be willing to do justice, deal fairly. And, then, it will take no additional funds to secure this advantage and improvement in efficiency. It is only necessary to make a timely and intelligent showing before the Board. The thing should be done, because it is right, and we believe the Board will see the wisdom of it, and have it effected. TOO MUCH POLICE GUN WORK The killing of a Negro Sunday morning early, by a policeman in Broughton street lane, reminds us that within the past several months there has been very frequent use of the gun, by local officers of the law and in each instance against a Negro. It is interesting to note that on three of the many recent times Negroes have been made to taste of police bullets they were shot in the back, two being fatal. In one of these instances the Negro was endeavoring to escape from the pursuing officer and was fatally shot in the back by him while he was jumping a fence. The circumstances surrounding Saturday night's killing are still fresh in our memories and need no rehearsal here. It is rather significant that out of the many instances of police gun work here of late the victims were all Negroes. We do not condone crime, be it committed by a Negro or a white man, for we feel that any one who transgresses the law should be apprehended, yet this too frequent gun work which has snuffed out the lives of several fleeing Negroes is a habit which we condemn with all the emphasis at our command. It would seem that many members of the police department feel that they have license to shoot a Negro for any or even no cause whatever. This idea apparently never enters their mind if the persons they are after happen to be white and they endure almost anything from them, even to being shot at, rather than pour lead into them. This difference in treatment by the police is not only very plainly shown but it has become so noticeable here of late that we wonder whether or not the arresting officer carries his gun for self-protection and use against resisting felonious prisoners or simply to pump lead into Negroes. There was time when the preyalling ugly habit of the police against Negroes was a too frequent use of the club, but evidently this was too mild a treatment so now they have resorted to the pistol. The habit of officers of the law killing Negroes on the slightest pretext whatever is not abating, but, to the contrary, it is increasing and has now reached an alarming stage. We must protest as loudly as we can against this needless taking of life and appeal to those in authority to put a stop to it. PETITION FOR INCORPORATION State of Georgia, Chatham County.

Now ```markdown ``` THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, SATURDAY AUGUST 18, 1917 STUDY OF NEGRO HISTORY The Association for the study of Negro Life and History will hold its biennial meeting at the 12th Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A. in Washington, D. C., on the 29th of August. Men of national prominence from various parts of the country will assemble to promote the work of saving the records of the Negro that the race may not become a negligible factor in the thought of the world. There will be four general addresses. Mr. Monroe N. Work, the editor of the Negro Year Book, will read a paper on "The Negro and the World War"; Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the editor of the Journal of Negro History, will discuss "Saving the Record of the Negro"; Prof. Benjamin G. Brawley, the dean of Morehouse College, will speak on "Three Negro Poets: Horton, Mrs. Harper and Whitman; and Prof. Kelly Miller, dean of Howard University, will deliver an address on "The Place of Negro History in our Schools." There will be other discussions by Prof. George E. Haynes, director of the Urban League; Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones of the Phelps Stokes Fund; Dr. Jesse E. Moorland, international Secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association, and Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder. For the benefit of those who may not have kept pace with this movement it may be well to say that the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History was organized in Chicago on the 9th of September, 1915, by a number of persons who seeing the need of persecuting this long neglected work of saying the records of the Negro, assumed the financial burden of startling the movement. The work has been two-fold that of research and that of publication. Although handicapped in each case, the Association under direction of Dr. C. G. Woodson, has published in the journal of Negro History more than five hundred pages of valuable documents throwing light on what the Negro has thought and felt and done. Subscribers have been able to secure this quarterly publication for $1.00 a year and persons desiring to secure the assistance of the director in working in this field have done so by becoming active members, paying a fee of $2.00, which covers also the subscription to the journal. Some of the men interested in the work as contributors and subscribers are: Oswald Garison Villard, Charles F. Dole, Morton D. Hull, Bishop George W. Clinton, John Wanamaker, George W. Cable, Frank Cundall, Archibald Grimke, Judge Julian W. Mack, J. E. Spingarn, Julus Rosenwald, L. Hollingsworth Wood, Emmett J. Scott, W. L. Lewis, Jacob H. Schiff, Bishop L. J. Choppin, J. G.

PAGE SIX WORK IN ANNEGLECTED DISTRICT For the sake of those who are not familiar with the nature of the work conducted by the Urban League at the Social Centre in Yamacraw, it seems best to begin with a short statement of what has been accomplished as well as what we are trying to do down there for the childern. Ten months ago the Urban League rented a little store on Joachim street between West Boundary and Lumber streets, in which to conduct a Sunday school for children not attending any Sunday school at all. The work started on the first Sunday in October, nineteen hundred and sixteen with an attendance of 22 children of all ages, mostly boys, together with Miss Margaret Robertson and your humble servant. The hour was spent pleasantly and I hope, helpfully. On the following Sunday we returned, and much to our surprise some of the children were waiting for us. On Thursday we talked to the larger children and played with the smaller ones. Soon our meeting place grew too small, then the Urban League decided to rent a house on the same lot for a social centre. The front room down stairs is used for the Sunday school. The house has seven rooms and if plans materialize it will certainly be a step toward changing the living conditions of the people in that section of the city. Just a summary of what has been done for the children during the ten months is: A Christmas tree with useful gifts for sixty children; a free clinic; children and parents carried in autos to the baby, show at Cuyler street school; ministers paid visits to the Sunday school and gave helpful and enthusiastic lessons, at which the children showed great interest. Mrs. Roland has been quite a helper both in donations and service. About a month ago a free clinic was given the children. The children on a whole have shown interest and appreciation. The in-attendance of the children, in many cases, seems due to forgetfulness. If the parents would cooperate the house would, soon be too small. They do not send their children to the centre, they come of their own accord, and when they fail, we go after them, they respond willingly. So much for what has been done. Now it appears to me that environment is the handicap. Environment is one of the greatest factors in determining the welfare of the family and its individual members. If bad it is a serious handicap to a good home, if good it is a strong tonic to a bad home. The social question of child dependency is, then, basically, not one of child dependence at all. It is a question of the dependence or neglect of parents, of the substance of one or both or other guardians, or exceptionally of child delinquency. It is poverty, crime and the industrial stress that give us the greater proportion of the number of children dependent in one way or another upon the public. Social progress and education will then lessen the course of child dependency. We have in this country twelve millions of colored people. Of so large a number some proportion must necessarily be dependent. The opportunity for the dependent Negro child is very limited. Institutions for the care of colored children are few in number, but fortunately the average Negro mother will suffer many inconveniences before consenting to part with her children. There is a spirit among all classes and conditions of the colored people in this land to better the environment of their children to give them a better opportunity than the parents had. The institutions throughout the country that are doing great work for colored children, lack both space and funds to accomplish very much. There is a better provision for the Negro girl than the Negro boy, but the training of the boy is the training of the people. If the men were trained to take his responsibilities in life as a husband and father, there would be fewer deserted wives or illegitimate children, for, after all, the provision of the home must be made by the man. So why not help to make the home for the social work in Yamadraw a success, and train the dependent boys in good citizenship, and teach them to assume the responsibility cheerfully, particularly the responsibility of their own making? Let us save the men and women by saving the child. Let us, as volunteer workers, try to carry out the ideals of our blessed Savor's care for little children. As some one has said. "It must always be remember that neither a volunteer or paid worker is fit for so high a task unless he puts into the work, not only his brain, but his heart and soul." Only one who is capable of making sacrifice in season and out of season can be justice to the work. In the ten months I have gone to Yamacraw on Sunday, not even in the worse weather have some of the child- ren be absent. The children have certainly made a good record, but there are still many children to be gotten in that are non-attendants to Sunday school. God in His splendor did not make earth in a day, neither can Yamacraw be made anew in a few years. Ninety per cent. of the children that go into the childrens' court come from homes in bad environments. An average family has been taken out of its bad environment or its unsanitary house and placed in a better building and neighborhood it has improved. The power of imitation is mighty. Repetition and last impressions are the great influential factors in shaping conduct in children in congested districts are denied such, for the sights they see, the sounds they hear, indeed their whole environment is against them. Good will assert itself if given the opportunity, but it must be relieved of its handicap. Correct the source and not the victim by eliminating the bad houses, preventing the overcrowding of rooms, correcting the unsanitary neighborhoods, the brood of evils they cause will be subtracted from the number now receiving the attention of so many betterment agencies. Would any stock breeder try to raise stock by stabilizing it in a dark, windowless, unventilated room? Yet, there are children being raised in some such rooms. Would any dog enthusiast try to raise healthy stock in a room where the air was close and foul, where the humidity was abnormally high and the organic impurities reacted as a poison upon the pups? Yet, in many such places babies are born and children live and die. The future men and women of the different congested districts of Savannah are of sufficient importance to have society see to it that they are not, warfed, divarfed or demoralized by the kind of neighborhood in which they are being reared. The time has come for us to work together as citizens and clean out these districts. The cost is small when compared with the gain. Even if it only puts a stop to the increasing avalanche of child misdemeanants, the price is relatively insignificant, no matter how big it may total. "The strength of the nation is in her homes" not of the few and the well-to-do, but of all her people." "The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few. First African Baptist church, Franklin square, Rev. T. J. Goodall, pastor. The attendance on last Sunday was very good. The prayer service began at the usual hour and was very interesting. At 11:30 the pastor preached to a large and appreciative congregation, his text was "Job an example of endurance." Among the visitors present was Mrs. Williams, representing the Walker Baptist, Institute of Augusta and Mayor LaGree of Burroughs. Remarks were made by each after which a collection was taken for Walker Baptist Institute. At 4 p. m. the pastor, officers and members visited the prayer house at Sabine Field where they engaged in a special service. At 8:30 p. m. the pastor also preached an interesting sermon, subject "Elementation of Spiritual Hindrancescence. Beginning Monday night there will be a week of prayer. The entire week will be given to prayer. There will be seven special sermons. An invitation is extended to the public. The Sunday school met at the usual hour and the lesson was well explained.

Lesson VIII.—Third Quarter, For Aug.19,1917. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, II Chron. xxxiv, 14-33—Memory Verse, 31—Golden Text, Ps. cxix, 16—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The first verse of our lesson, with the marginal reading, might indicate that the book they found was an original copy by the hand of Moses, but it might have been another copy, according to Deut. xvil, 18, 19; II Kings xl, 12; Josh. 1, 8. It is sufficient to know that it was the Book of the Law of the Lord, which, when it was read to the king, caused him to rend his clothes and send to Huldah, the prophetess, to inquire of the Lord, through her, what they should do (xlx, 22). This was in the eighteenth year of his reign (xxxiv, 8; xxxv, 19), and Jeremiah began to prophesy when thirteen. Therefore why send to Huldah instead of to Jeremiah? Perhaps because Huldah was there in Jerusalem and Jeremiah was probably at Anathoth (II Kings xxll, 14; Jer. 4, 1). It is interesting to notice in this connection the honor placed upon such women as Huldah and Deborah and Hannah and others and to remember that Mary of Bethany knew the Lord better in many ways than any of the other women or even than Peter and John. Some women seem to have keener eyes and ears and a more open heart for God than most men. I often ask God to give me guidance through my dear wife, who walks so humbly with Him; then all goes well. Huladah had a good message for Josiah, because of his humility and tender heart, when he heard the words of the Lord, for, although God is the high and lofty one who inhabits eternity, whose name is holy, He has regard to the contrite and humble spirit that trembles at His word (Isa. lvii, 15, lxv1, 2). Josiah called together all the people of Jerusalem, priests and Levites, and all the inhabitants, great and small, and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the Lord, and he promised with all his heart and with all his soul to perform the words of the covenant and caused all present to stand to it. And all the days of Josiah they departed not from following the Lord God of their fathers (verses 26:33). The expression "with all his heart and with all his soul" (verse 31) reminds me of the only thing that I ever remember reading that God says He will assuredly with His whole heart and with His whole soul, and that is place Israel in their own land and rejoice over them to do them good (Jer. xxxii, 41). According to Luke xxii, 15, 16, 29, 30, this will be at the time of the final fulfillment of the Passover, for the Passover marked the birth of the nation, and the great fulfillment will be when they shall have their regeneration, never to be broken up again (Matt. xix, 28; Acts ill, 21). It was in the year that the book of the law was found (xxxiv, 8; xxxv, 19), that Josiah caused to be kept the greatest Passover in the history of Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet (xxxv, 18; II Kings xxiii, 22). It was written of Hezekiah that there was no king before him or after him who trusted in the Lord, his God, as he did, but it is written of Josiah that there was no king either before or after him who turned to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might as he did (II Kings xviii, 5; xxxii, 15). Hezekiah excelled in one way and Josiah in another, but the Lord noted each fully. We are reminded of the way the saints are spoken of by Paul—some succored others, some laid down their own necks for Paul's sake, some were helpers, some labored and some labored much, some were in Christ before him (Rom. xvl)—and thus it will be at the judgment seat of Christ, all service will be remembered and all manner of service and the special zeal of each one, and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor (I Cor. ill, 8). In connection with the passover always remember that it was the blood on the door that made the firstborn safe in that house, not the blood and something else, but God said, "When I see the blood I will pass over you" (Ex. xll, 13). It was to be a lamb without blemish, and Christ our passover is the Lamb without blemish and without spot (Ex. xll, 5; 1 Cor. v, 7; 1 Pet. 1, 10). The flesh of the lamb was to be roasted with fire and eaten with unleavened bread and bitter herbs (Ex. xll, 8), suggesting His sufferings and our fellowship with Him in sufferings, and as there was no leaven or evil in Him so we who are redeemed by His blood must put away all evil, as it is written, "Be ye holy, for I am holy." Eating the lamb did not add to nor increase their safety, but indicated fellowship, as He said, "He that eateth me shall live by me" (John vl, 57). If the firstborn, being under the blood that night, could not eat a bite of the lamb because of nervousness or for any other reason that did not at all affect their safety. Whether it was the house of an Israelite or an Egyptian on which the blood was there could be no death under that blood. The lamb was never too small for the household, but if the household was too little for the lamb they were to share it with their neighbors (Ex. xll, 4). And in the sight of God is not our neighbor any one with whom we can share the lamb, whether in foreign lands or on the same street with us?

THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, SATURDAY AUGUST 25, 1917 Mobile, Ala.—When death enters a home and takes away one there is weeping in that family. Although we know we came here to live a short time and then pass off the stage, yet we find it impossible to get used to death, or to feel satisfied when we are deprived of one. Death has been here. It has robbed the nation of one of its greatest men, and we feel it keenly, because he was our friend, and almost one of us. What heart was not made sad when it was flashed over the country a few days ago, that Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of Hampton Institute is dead? In every walk of life, in all races there was sadness, for he was a friend to humanity, and served the American people. Dr. Frissell was successor to General Armstrong, the man who brought into life the first industrial school for our people, Hampton Institute, and it was there he remained until claimed by death, and then comes a great man to take his place. It was in his early childhood that he placed himself where God could use him. He went through that preparation which was necessary, and he sought the kingdom of God. When this was over, he then waited his time. General Armstrong received his summon to the Courts of Glory, and then God put hands on the man who was prepared for the place. It was with his soul and heart that he entered upon the work, and was true to it and to the people he served until a few days ago when he left us to join Dr. Armstrong, Booker T. Washington and, other great servants who have come ahead. Hampton Institute is the parent of all the other industrial and manual training schools for our people. Like in many cases sons and daughters may outgrow the mother. It is this institution that gave to us Booker T. Washington, the wizard of Tuskegee Institute. He became the foremost educator of his race, and planted at Tuskegee, Ala., the great manual training institution in the world. Dr. Washington worked his way through Hampton, and then went down, found a town unknown and put it on the civilized map. He erected his monument and goa to see it while he lived. He worked side by side with Dr. H. B. Frissell, and the father followed closely behind the son. No time was spent idle by him. It was fitting that when Dr. Washington died, that an able man be selected. Like Booker T. Washington this man, Dr. Robert R. Moton, was trained in the same school, and knew something about hardships, for he too, had to work his way through school. He had to work early and late, and between times studied his books. He was connected with Hampton for over a quarter of a century. He made his place in the hearts of the people, and showed from time to time his wonderful ability as a leader of men. He like the others had put himself within reach of God, and God is using him. This is what Hampton has done. One of the great factors at work in the South today, is Miss Georgia Washington, principal and founder of Mt. Meigs-ville school. This institution is on the map, and it is because Miss Washington was a Hampton graduate, and has gotten the training of how to do things and she is doing them now. Many strong men and women have been furnished to the world and to the race by these two institutions, and we are proud of them. But let us stop and place a flower on the grave of our friend, Dr. H. B. Friessell. He deserves all that you can say about him. The passing of Dr. Friessell, and Dr. W.'Bishop Johnson, takes from us two great men. Dr. Johnson was appointed by the National Baptist Convention in the session held in Savannah, last September to write the history of the Negro Baptist, and he was happy and said that he would be well up the road at the next session. Well God found another service for him to render or discovered that he needed rest and laid hands on him. We must all some day follow. Who will be next? I am delighted to see the men we have in this country and those we are still turning out from various institutions. There will be plenty for all Americans to do within the next few years. Many of the people who worked in this country, when the found their country was in war, dropped everythink to go home to die for their glory, their flag. Many of these men will never return to this or any other country, for they have reported to the great beyond. Then those who will return from the trenches will have to take the places of their comrades. They will have to stay over there and help to build up home. There will plenty for all Americans to do, and you will get just what you are qualified to do. I have been to many places since I wrote you last, and I am still on the go. This is indeed a great world. The man who has best fitted himself is the man who is getting the most out of it. I have seen many things to a pity me and to cause me in my old days to want to get in school and get just a little more education and I would get something higher in life. Everywhere men and women are making good, and I am real proud of them. Now in Dallas where I was once, I found some few things there. I have already told you about the Pythian Temple. There are many of our people employed there. You see these men need clerks, stenographers bookeepers and the like. Miss Raisy II. Jackson, of Mobile, is to be found in the office of the Grand Keeper of Records and Seal. She is a young woman who took time to prepare herself, and is filling her place well. She is just devoted to her work and attends to that and nothing more and nothing less. Miss Lillian A. Shaw is doing office work. She is a good operator on the typewriter. She is clerk for Dr. J. E. Knoy, superintendent of missions for Texas in the Baptist churches. I have been to St. Louis, Texarkana, Hot Springsprings, Little Rock, Mariana, Memphis, Aberdeen, Meridian and to the place where I am now. In each one of these places I found something to talk about, but it would take a whole paper to tell you about them. I find that the Baptist are getting ready for their big convention September 5 at Muskogee, Okla. The Baptists of Arkansas are getting ready for the celebration of their 50th anniversary, and the convention of Alabama is getting ready to celebrate its 50th birthday. Big things have been planned. I shall have to bring this letter to a close. I have many things to say to you later. C. J. Hardstew STENOGRAPHY—TYPEWRITING Excellent opportunity. Walter E.

There are two splendid lodges of Elks in Washington. They are well officered and their membership is large and enthusiastic.

As a mark of the affection and esteem in which Mr. Scott is held in the District of Columbia the Morning Star lodge of which he is a member has chartered a special train to carry the district delegation and its friends to Cleveland. Arrangements have been made to have brother Elks from Virginia join the party and others will be taken on en route. Two distinct testimonials to Mr. Scott's satisfactory administration are being arranged prior to his departure for the Sixth City". One Isa complimentary reception tendered this week by the Ancient City Lodge of Elks of Annapolis, Md. The other event is the appearance of Mr. Scott at Richmond, Va., August 21, at the special invitation of Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, Grand Worthy Secretary-Treasurer of the Independent Order of St. Luke. Mr. Scott is to deliver the address at the opening session of the "Golden Jubilee' of the Order of St. Luke on behalf of all the secret organizations of America. If efficiency, high-grade service and sagacious direction of the affairs of the Elks are to count, the calling of Mr. Scott to the chair of Exalted Ruler, for a second term is one of the assured things that are to happen at the Cleveland convention. And this is as it should be. Senator Harry S. New is entitled to unstinted praise for his successful stand in the military committee for the counting of colored men of the South in the registration for the national army. The fair-minded Indianian is insisting upon one line of treatment in the army for all Americans. Mme. C. J. Walker, of New York, the race's foremost business woman, was in the city this week and called at the White House as a representative of the Silent Protest Parade held recently in the nation's metropolis. Mme. Walker is never too busy to serve her people. Assistant Superintendent Roscoe Conklin Bruce is said to have a profound contempt for Negro newspapers, and scouts them as of no weight in moulding sentiment in matters concerning the race. In this respect he differs radically from his late father, Senator R. K. Bruce, who held race papers in the highest esteem and was a subscriber for most of them in the palmy days of his leadership. "The Voice" a new paper halling from New York City, edited by Herbert H. Harrison, has made its appearance in this city. It is a weekly and sells for one cent. It is believed that there ought to be room for another race paper in the Big. City, and Washingtonians welcome Negro enterprises of every kind, no matter from what quarter of the globe they emanate. Mrs. Annie Lawrence Lucas is preparing to produce a new emotional dromo entitled "The Heart of a Vampire." McGOVERN AND VINSON DRAW Both boys are two of the fastest whitebantams seen here for some time and put up first fight which resulted in a draw after fifteen rounds. McGovern was the shifter of the two and showed more experience while Vinson was the stronger and had the harder punch. No damage was done either boy. The semi-final of the evening was staged between Young Moore., a light weight, and Young Dixon., a feather weight. Artie McGovern of New York and Al Vinson of this city furnished the main attraction of the flight card on Friday night of last week at the Airdome. 1867 Beach Hair Under the a THE AMERICAN MISSE Depart PRIMARY, INTERMEDIATE.
