The National League on Urban Conditions Among ‘Negro has been looking out for these fields of labor where colored men are offered a man’s chance for a real future! Dr. George E. Haynes, a seqretary of the Teague has recently made a survey of conditions surrounding {ho Newport News Shipbuilding and and Drs Dock Company. He has found that this company employs over 7,000 men ; ‘about 3,500 of these men are colored men. Hundreds of colored men. ave worked for this firm from 3to25 years and the Investigation shows that the employers are treating the workmen with a fairness that makes eery Nezro employed feels at home, For instance, the president of the com- pany has appointed a colored man over cach department, thrn whom the management can learn of anything at- fecting the welfare of the men. Be- sides, any man ho matter where he works or what his job is, can sve any of tiie head officials up to the president about any matter where there is any trouble-or dissatisfaction. Dr. Haines also found that the com- wing recognizes that xood pay is one of the best ways to attract and hold ¢dlored men of character who want steady jobs. This company is now be- sinning men on rough labor on 24¢ an hour and after four weeks trial if the man stays, he is raised to 25¢ an hour. After that, pay is increased as {man shows ability up to 4Se¢ an hour ‘The men work on ‘an eight-hour day, an are paid for over-time at the rate of time and a half.. For example, men working nive hours get 9% hours pay ‘and men working 10 hours get 11 hours hours‘pay. iat who have any skfli or experi- ence Ls drillers, blacksmiths, carpen- ters and the like dre started at from 85 to 30 ¢ per honr. . Whenever a man proves he has such skill or develops it he ia given piece work and paid for what: he does. This always enables a min to earn more than he would on a finie rate. A careful- inspection of the pay that men are now receiving shgwed that apt men of experience are now getting from $27 to $20 a week a9 riveters; $20 to $22 a week as dril- Jers; $22 to $33 a week as anglesmiths; $17 to $22-a week as yard riggers, and from $15 to $18 a week at other work. ‘This does not take into'account pay for overtime, which in many cases wakes the earnings of the men much larger. . ‘The housing and neighborhood con- ditions are one of the most interesting features about the Newport News op- portunity, The managers of the sbip- building company have shown great interest im these conditions surround- ing their men, Just now a realestate firm encouraged by the Shipbuilding Company is opening up a suburban resi- dential district. ‘This place is on the street car line with a 2%c fare for working men to the shipyard. Twen- ty-two new houses have been complet- ed in this suburb, which is known as Garden City. About 70 othiers are already occupied. The new houses all haxe electric light, gas and running water, Baths and inside toilets may be put-in at small cost where wanted. The most attractive thing about these houses is that they are offered to re- Mable workmen at the ship-yard at very reasonable opportunities on easy terms about as follows: $50 cash, the balance as monthly rent. The houses Tange in size from 4 rooms to 7 rooms and In prices from $150 to $1,700. Another residential section in walking Qistance of the shipyard has been spoken of and planned as soon as there ix demand for the houses. One of the attractive things about these neighborhoods is that there can Ye no saloons, as Virginia is a dry state and that only persons of good stand- ing can buy honsea in these neighbor- hoods, ‘There is a good city school at Newigrt News and a county school near Garden City, Also ground for a new ethool in Garden City has already heen offered and as ‘soon as there are enough people to make the effort they HINDERGARTEN ASSO. MEETS MORE PLEDGES SECURED Benefit Concert to be Given for Association Enthusiasm and interest in the movenent to establish g kindergarten at Yamacraw continue to run high, A large number of new faces were present at last Monday’s meeting and many of the ladies spoke feelingly of the ne- cessity for the.work and thelr determ- ination to work for its success. Some of them promised to donate and se cure donations of various articles suit- able for furnishing and equipping the apartments at Yamacraw Centre. A campaign for securing subscrip- tons from the many clubs and churches of the city is to be put on at once.

It Is expected that many persons will associate themselyés with the work in this way. Mrs. I. W. Sherman, though unable to be present, sent in her plede for ter dollars.

This southern industrial center of- fers one of the best featurés of its opportunity in that the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company 4s seeking colored men of intelligence and character for their work of build- ‘ing steel ships for the U. S. Navy and Private owners. Mr. H. L, Ferguson, president and general manager 9f*the company, says “this company probably ewploys, under satisfactory conditions, @ larger number of skilled Negro men in fron working trades than any other company? During the next twelve months the company is enlarging’ its plant and plans to increase its labor force about fifty percent.

THE GREAT ATLANTA MUTUAL CAMPAIGN ‘The people are acustomed to hear of big Atlanta Mutual operations, because this popular company has the reputa- tion for doing things on a great and most effective seale. Possibly, the blx- xest advertising program which any company as ever conceived, begins Oc- tober Ist at which time, workers all over the Atlanta Mutual territory will begin a strenuous six weeks campaign for inereasing the number of Atlanta Mutual policyholders. ‘The states which this great company covers are heing flooded with effective pamphlets, cards and other advertising matter; the agents are thoroughly aroused and a new page in the history of industrial insurance among colored people will undoubtedly be written be- fore the eampaizn closes. 7 | The North Georgia division will be under “the immediate jurisdiction of Howard W. Russell of Atlanta; whose workers will be known as ‘Russell's Rough Riders.” The east Georgia dl- vision will be under the leadership of Joe. C. Lindsay of Savannah whose workers have been named, “Lindsay's Loyal Legion.” West Georgia work- ers will be under the supervision of Solomon M, Johnson of Columbus and his men will be called, “Johnson's Jol- ly Jewels.” ‘The Alabama workers will be led by James T.

Among The Masons Among The Masons No Conflict of Duties No obligation is taken in any lodge that conflicts with our duty to God, our country, to society or to ourselves. No rite or ceremony is performed, or word spoken, in any of the degrees that brings a blush of shame to any cheek, and there is nothing in the ritual or practice of Masonry that does not have in view the betterment of character, and the desire to turn the hearts of men Godward. Its teachings build a wall of protection around the virtues of women, preserves the sanctity of the home, and seeks to kindle in the hearts of men noble purposes and lofty ambitions.—Tidings. The Traveling Mason When a Mason travels he should fortify himself with proper credentials and be prepared at all times to establish his identity and Masonic standing. Members of the fraternity are to be found in every part of the country who are willing and ready to do a brother a kindness. At the same time the traveler should be prepared to show his appreciation by manly and upright conduct.—Masonic Chronicle. Lessons in the Degrees How beautiful, how stimulating and how inspiring are the lessons of the degrees! The strong lesson of the First degree is Faith—faith in God and faith in humanity. Without that faith man would be little better than the beast of the field. He would be blind o the beauties of nature and art; a mere materialist, without hope and without love, without an incentive to right living and exalted ideals. In the second degree we are taught the mysteries of moral science. We learn to trace the goodness of the Creator through his wonderful works. We are taught to look from nature up to nature's God. But, in the Third degree, the sublime degree of a Master Mason, is reached the summit of ancient craft Masonry. In this degree we are taught fidelity even unto death; that the grave is not the end, but is the beginning of life eternal; and, by the emblem of the sprig of accacia, we are reminded of immortality, resurrection and communion with God Himself. We soar with angel's wings, to the Great White Throne, where the Supreme Architect of the Universe presides. Truly, Masonry is a magnificent system of moral instruction, uniting men of every creed and every clime into one great and holy brotherhood. "The institution we here represent is the most ancient and honorable of all human institutions. It is the institution of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons, and as such it has stood the test of time, the misrepresentations and wicked assaults of its enemies, and is today stronger numerically, financially and morally than in any period of its past history. It is and has been patronized by the noblest men of all ages, and even kings, princes and potentates consider it an honor to be enrolled among its memberships. It challenges the armiration of the civilized world, and the love and lowalty of every Mason. We love it for its magnificent past, its glorious present and most glorious future. We love it for its sublime teachings, its high and noble purposes, for its universality, uniting men of every country, sect and opinion, and for its adaptability to every man who conforms to its precepts."—Selected. --- No man, however lofty or however humble, can isolate himself in a dark cell of exclusiveness, determine to live for himself alone. No man, however obscure can truly say that he can contribute nothing to enlighten and benefit humanity. He cannot know that, and ought not to assume it. Let the Mason turn his mind steadily to the needs of others and he will be blessed. Let us do some kindly act towards our neighbor while he is yet alive, and not procrastinate until death calls him, that he may know that we have his interest at heart as well as our own.

The disappearance of the Indians there so pathetically foretold, is now almost accomplished, and in another half century their story will only be known in the white man's records: "At a Masonic banquet given in Chicago, Ill., in September 1859, Brother Ily S. Parker, a Chief of the Six Nations and a practicing lawyer of Galena, Ill., delivered a speech which was thus spoken of at the time—the occasion of the triennial meeting of the Grand Chapter and Incampment of the United States: "One speech of the evening, as also an incident attending it, deserves more particular mention. It was that of Bro. Sir Knight Parker, a grandson of Red Jacket, and his successor of the Six Nations. He is a full blooded Chief, but highly educated, and an eloquent speaker. I shall not attempt even an outline of his speech, for, if reproduced, is should be with its charms of action and utterance, which very few white men can equal. He spoke of himself as almost a lone remnant of what was once a noble race; of his struggles in coming to manhood, and seeing his race disappear as the dew before the morning sun. As he found his race thus wasting away he asked himself, "Where shall I find home and sympathy when our last council fire is extinguished? THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE,SATNRDAY,SEPT.22ND,1917 "I said, I will knock at the door of Masonry, and see if the white race will recognize me, as they had my ancestors, when we were strong and the white man weak. I knocked at the door of the Blue Lodge and found brotherhood around its alter. I knelt before the great light in the Chapter, and found companionship beneath the Royal Arch. I entered the encampment, and found valiant Sir Knights willing to sheld me here without regard to race or nation. I went further. I knelt at the cross of my Savior and found Christian brotherhood the crowning charity of the Masonic tie. I am most happy to meet you in the grand councils of the gathering and sit with you at the festive board, to share these greetings and hospitalities. I feel assured that when my glass is run out, and I shall follow the footsteps of my dear race, Masonic sympathies will cluster around my coffin and drop in my lonely grave the evergreen acacia, sweet emblem of a better meeting. If my race shall disappear from the continent, I have consoling hope that our memory will not perish. If the deeds of my ancestors shall not live in story, their memories remain in the names of our lakes and rivers, your towns and cities, and will call up memories otherwise forgotten." "Few eyes could withhold their tears as he poured forth in words like these the utterances of a full heart. Silence for a time prevailed after he sat down, when he rose and said; "I have in my possession a memento which I highly prize; I wear it near my heart. It came from my ancestors to me as their successor in office. It was a present from Washington to my grandfather. Red Jacket, when your nation was in its infancy. You will be glad to see and handle it, and I should do wrong not to give you an opportunity." "As he spoke thus he removed the wampun from his neck, and drew from his bosom a large massive medal, in oval form, some seven inches by five, and it passed from hand to hand along the tables. On one side of this medal were engraved, in full length, the figures of two chiefs—Red Jacket, in costume, presenting the pipe of peace, and Washington, with right hand extended as in the act, of receiving it. On the other side were the Masonic emblems, with the date, 1792, if our memory is correct." BETRIBUTION (Commonwealth) The law of retribution is definite and fixed. It is as fixed as the laws of gravitation. The Scriptures define it in the expression: "What-oever a man sows that shall he also reap." History, both sacred and profane, abounds in striking example. Napoleon Bonaparte, because he had the power to do so, sent Tousaint L'Overture, the un crowned king of Halti, despite his pleadings, to a prison in a frigid climate to die because he was unfit to live in it, having been born in the tropics. Not many years after this event this same Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo by the combined forces of Europe, and was sent by his conquerers to a prison in a tropical climate, for which he was unfit to live because he was born in a country situated in a cold climate; and he, like Tousaint, died, despite his petiful pleading for a reversal of sentence. The very punishment he inflicted upon Tousaint, wassoon thereafter inflicted upon him by his European enemies. Not a dozen years ago, the civilized world was startled with the barbarious and inhuman treatment of the African Congos by Belgium through the tolerance of Leopold and the authorities, notwithstanding the startling exposures of cruelty and barbarity by a disinterested commission. Leopold died, however, before any signs of this law of retribution were manifested. Germany, during the present war invaded Belgium, deposed the successor of Leopold, reduced the inhabitants of the invaded territory to a condition of servitude and practiced upon its helpless population cruelties which, when related, pale into insignificance as compared with those perpetrated on the Congos. Now we have again the striking incidents of the dethronement of the Czar of Russia, and his final banishment to a castle in Siberia—the frozen, undesirable region, prepared for the Hebrew people—the victims of race hatred and imperialistic methods in fulfilment of this inexorable law of Divine retribution. The history of Russian treatment of the Russian Jew under the rule of the Czar is too fresh in the recollection of the public to require repetition. The Commonwealth therefore, in commenting on these striking events in history, takes this occasion to remind those strong and powerful nations, races and individuals, who may now be in control of the affairs of mankind, to beware less a similar fate overtake them.

If you have no corns on your hands, stay away from Atlanta. A colored man was sent to jail the other day because his hands were not alloused. Teddy says he was "black-balled" and its true. Didn't he raise and command a brilliant unit of rough-riders for the Spanish campaign? His prophesies of two years ago, keep coming to mind! He's anything but a "four-flusher." American soldiers are already doing some service in France, gathering the corps, guarding the railroads and bridges and, generally, learning the ins and outs of this new and terrible style of trench warfare. Scores of ambulance and hospital units, hundreds of surgeons and nurses, as well as thousands of "soldiers of fortune," not cataloged as American soldiers, but Americans nevertheless have been serving the Allies from the beginning of the war. It will not be long before the regular fighting strength of America will take its place alongside the British and the French, "somewhere in France." We are glad to note that American Negro regiments are already on the scene, and will be among the first, as they have always been, to make the great sacrifice, for Freedom and Democracy. STRIKES Serious outbreaks at critical points all over the country—in the mining and steel industries and the shipbuilding industries, together with illegitimate manipulations of the national food and raw products supply—is threatening the effectiveness of the nation's preparedness program. This is not quite what we should expect from the ranks of "big-business" and the Captains of Industry. Practically all these, it was understood, had enlisted with Congress and the President to reap no "war profits." The government, however, is finding it difficult to keep the prices down to normal; in fact, it has not been able to do so. A great many people in this country will suffer this winter if Capital and Labor not keep faith with the government and with the people. Thousands have had little or no increase in their earnings under high cost of living, and it is among these that the greatest privation will come. We hope Capital will be content with reasonable profits and Labor will demand no exhorbitant increase in this crisis. America is at war, and war means sacrifice. Good men will do this willingly and without coercion, "slackers" must be whipped in line. It was ex-President Taft who said, "Don't rock the boat." FOOD FOR THOUGHT School boards all over the country are bringing before the pupils capable of understanding, "the reason why the United States is at war and the nature and character of our position in the war." They have been making use of the President's addresses, in state papers and communications that have figured in the controversy with Germany. This is a very timely thing to do for purposes of unifying the spirit and conversation of Americans. It is prac- tical and necessary all over the country. These documents are current history history in the making—bristling with interest and valuable beyond estimate. For years leading up to the great war, Germany had placed its national and political policies within the grasp of the humblest child and subject. These principles were taught in the schools; expert popular writers were hired to commit these ideas into books which were sold by the thousands at popular prices so as to be within the reach of all. These volumes rarely "bristled" with German arrogance, superiority and boastfulness. They argued Germany's right to expansion from commercial and industrial necessity, her right to dominate the world because of superior ingenuity in every line. Who wonders that the German spirit is hard to break! Who wonders that internal dissension and revolution are near impossible! When you couple with the above propaganda the spiritual persuasion of the people to the principles of divine kingship and the like, one sees the basis of German doggedness and superhuman struggle. Let America take heed, for this war is as much a struggle of mind and spirit as of material and men. THE ROLL CALL The call of the roll next Monday will find thousands of zealous and anxious little souls entered on the school records and ready for nine months of conscientious instruction and direction. The teacher is boss. Every child knows that; and every teacher can maintain before her pupils such a record for good discipline, strict performance of duty, and regular attendance, that her class will maintain throughout the year the same enthusiasm and efficiency it starts out with. How many will do this? How many will keep up to high efficiency and full potential throughout the year? It takes more than ordinary character and energy to do this, but the conscientious teacher will put in a good year's work. The teacher has a fine chance. She can influence and affect the life of the child to a large extent, and because of this grave responsibility she should begin the first day to study and learn the spirit and tendencies of her charge so as to impress and develop him just where he needs her service most. The teacher touches the home. Indirectly, through the child, the thoughtful teacher can exert a wide influence in the home of the child. The child reflects before her, all the important conditions under which he lives, and if the teacher is not a mere wage-earner, she can have the same improving and elevating influence in the home, which the good minister has. We trust the teachers may all go on their jobs with a due recognition of their duty to the city and to the people, and determine to give fully and freely the best services of which they are capable. We believe that great teaching efficiency will go a long way toward improving the tone and service of the schools, and toward emphasising the need of improved conditions and equipment for best teaching. SUFT GIBSON'S REPORT The first annual report of the Superintendent of Schools is an interesting document and teems with ideas indicating the progressive vision that official has for the future of Savannah'school's. The one striking feature of the report was his advocacy of an almost radical change from the old and conventional scheme of secondary training to the adoption of a plan embracing six years of elementary training, three years of junior high school work, and three years of senior high school work. This division of the latter six years of public education into schemes better adapted to fitting the great majority of pupils, who must go out to work, for the more practical industrial and commercial pursuits of life, is being made all over the country, according to the report. The advent of vocational training forced the division of the six years of high school into the junior high and senior high school periods. "The wonderful industrial growth of our nation is naturally making heavier demands upon the high schools for the better training of the great majority who go from the high schools into bread winning occupations." * * * * "It is generally recognized that Savannah is in the morning of a great new day of commercial and industrial development." * * * * "Education, the foundation of prosperity for our children, should contribute its part in preparing them to grasp the opportunities, to be offered them in this great industrial development." Of course, all this discussion of reorg organization and change of high school schemes and curricula, on its face, appear to include only the white children of our community but we do not fear that the same high efficiency and fitness of the Superintendent, which makes him a pioneer in progressive and modern education, also gives him to see that these very same things are none the less necessary for the Negro child who must also meet the competition of an industrial and commercial life. The plan of six years elementary training, three years of junior high school, this latter to feature vocational training and specialization in the various trades, would be an excellent thing for Savannah, and we should welcome it and should hope to see the plan inaugurated at an early date. same time she will be more and more industrial competitor, narrow down his opportunities for employ, and depressing, the wage scale of efficient labor. She will be worth of man. The married woman will be a great asset to her husband and eminence more valuable in the rearing of children. There will be less of fancy, the frills and the flickleness life; there will be more of the sensible and enduring, both in com and accomplishment, because of greater experience and power of It would be a good thing for our people, whose opportunities are so meagre and ineffective as to be almost valueless, and whose chances even for elementary training are so unsatisfactory and inadequate. We almost wonder that the Board of Education has not already found some way of rebuilding some of the Negro schools. We doubt if they could be duplicated anywhere, for their lack of fitness and efficiency. We are not complaining. We realize that much has been done for the colored schools, city and county, during the past twelve months. We cannot avoid the undesirable conditions staring us in the face, however. As citizens and taxpayers, we should have better facilities even if a bond issue be necessary to secure them. We are laboring in all lines of industry for the upbuilding of this city and community and we should be accorded the emoluments of free citizens. We do not doubt that the Superintendent and the Board of Education have gone to the bottom of this condition, and we believe that they believe in a broad, practical education for Negro children, as well as for whites. The establishment of a high school for colored children, where, in addition to the necessary literary study, good practical vocational courses can be taught, is necessary to the needs of our people here. If the plans of the Superintendent could be inaugurated without delay, and were made to include colored children, they would meet the conditions, entirely, satisfactorily. His plan meets the demand on modern secondary education, because it fits the average child for a practical and useful career. Our present day civilization is demanding a turning from the mis-education of the past to a more sensible and servicable preparation, in accordance with modern educational theory. As was pointed out, the government should deal liberally with its children. No sacrifice is too great to make for their education. No estimate of the value of proper and timely education can be exaggerated. WOMAN POWER The exigencies of war have not only thrown a great many of the women of war-ridden countries of Europe into the myriad lines of ordinary occupations, but a great many in America have been forced into such of the gainful occupation as were available and open to them. The phenomenon has revealed to all the nations the tremendous resourcefulness of its woman-power and has, at the same time, developed in the women, themselves, a consciousness of their independence and power. American women have not taken to mining, running the street cars or carrying mails, but a wide variety of factory employments and scores of clerical positions and clerkships have been opened up to them, which bitherto, they had not dreamed of entering. It will not be surprising if the conditions of the future shall develop a new sort of woman, possessing less of the inordinate delicacy and nervousness and more of the positive and vigorous qualities, without losing any of her more laudable and gentle virtues of soul and personality. In 1890, in the United States, there were less than 4,000,000 women in wage-earning occupations, three fourths of whom were married. In 1910 over 7,000,000 were thus engaged, of whom only one-sixth were married. These figures indicate a growing relative number of women who earn their own living and a growing independence evidenced by the fact that women wage-earners are not inclined to marry. It will be a great thing for the nation as well as for society if this practice shall continue to grow. It will be excellent if an ever-increasing number of women shall go into the ranks of producers. It will put into the industrial and political life of the nation a beneficial stimulus. It will have a steadying and elevating effect on the great institution of labor, and on business. Along with their advent into the labor market, women are rapidly entering politics, by way of the suffrage, and each of these innovations will help and advance the interests of the other. It will be a good thing if women shall become less dependent on men and shall become more self-sustaining. It will be beneficial to good men and it will tend to cure the defects in trifling men. It will be less and less necessary for woman to marry man while at the same time she will be more and more his industrial competitor, narrowing down his opportunities for employment and depressing the wage scale of inefficient labor. She will be worthier of man. The married woman will be a greater asset to her husband and eminently more valuable in the rearing of her children. There will be less of the fancy, the trills and the fickleness in life; there will be more of the solid sensible and enduring, both in comfort and accomplishment, because of the greater experience and power of women and because of the greater respect for lier powers which she will command of the world.

TANGO KID TO BOX WARE .. Manager Jennings was for two weeks at bay to find a man who he thought was good enough to put against the formidable Rough House Ware, but at last, he, through some of his very intimate friends, secured the light heavy-weight champion of Panama, whose name is Tango Kid. Now this is one of the best boys in the business, altho he is not known throughout the South very much. This boy recently loved Joe Jennett at the Clearmont A. C. of New York City and the best Jennett could get was a D. C. Now this young man comes down from Dan McKetrick stable in New York, who is known to handle nothing but the best of boys You can make up your mind to see 15 of the very toughest and stubborn fighting because Rough House you all know it takes a Bear Cat to stand with, and Rough House says this Tango is a very hard and tough boy, but it takes this kind of a boy to get me going. Those that fail to see this bout will never again have the opportunity of every seeing two men of this class meeting in your city again. Rough House says he is only waiting here to show the people what real fighting is and he is very glad that Promoter Jennings was lucky enough to secure a man like Tango who will make him go at his best all the time. This boy Tango is really a good boy and he thinks he can allays win. He promises not to lose a bout this year.

THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, SATNRDAY, SEPT. 22ND. 1917 Negro Business League Weekly Letter By J C. Lindsay In times like these when this unprecedented wave of prosperity is sweeping over the entire country, as a result of the European war, when farmers, as well as all other people are getting more for what they produce than ever before, and when "king cotton" the farmers main stay, is selling at unheard of prices, the National Negro Business League, together with all of its subsidiary organization, feels called upon to sound the warning to the Negro farmers to look well to the proper husbanding of their resources. Serious mistakes and blunders can, and possibly will be made by many of the Negro farmers, in times like these, as have been made already by thousands of our men in the various cities of the South, who seem to take special pride in telling one of how cheap they could have bought such and such a corner lot, or such and such a piece of property, only a few years ago, when they were "headers" or forenurs for a certain firm at wages ranging all the way from eighteen to thirty dollars per week. Unfortunately for those men, they seem to have thought that such wages would last always. Since those days, many of them have found it very hard indeed to make ends meet. Instead of being "header" or foreman at their former positions, to their sad disappointment and regret, they found that their places were filled by others who not only did not know "Joseph," but who did not seek or care to know him. These same men, many of them, have been very glad since those palmy days, to get a place to earn a stipend, as low as a dollar per day, for their work. If coming events cast their shadows before them, if the past, in any shape manner or form, point its index finger toward the future, then, the Negro Business League is absolutely safe in calling the attention of our people to what they may reasonably expect with regard to the permanency of this wave of prosperity, which is nationwide at this time. Cotton now is selling for over one hundred dollars a bale. Corn, meat, potatoes, molasses, peas, rice, in fact, everything which the farmer produces, is bringing fancy prices, such as we have never heard of before. The question uppermost in the minds of the thoughtful men and women of the race is, will this great abundance of wealth, which is now being handled by our people be put in channels where members of the race will be benefited, or will the great portion of it go for automobiles, pianos, phonographs, accordions and the like, to the exclusion of the more substantial and weightier things, such as improved farm implements, live stock, and last, but by no means least, land? The wise and thoughtful Negro farmer, after having seen to it that his farm is properly stocked with high bred cattle and hogs, together with a sufficient number of poultry on his farm and his improved farming implements ready for the ensuing year, will then take the remainder, or at least some of the money and place it to his credit in some responsible Negro bank, if he has one near him, if not, he will see to it that it goes into some safe bank operated by the other fellow, for just as sure as day follows night, these times will not last as they are always. Every farmer-in a radius of seventy-five miles of Savannah, should be a depositor in one of the three Negro banks of this city. We do not suggest to you in this weekly letter, as to which of the three you should use as your depository, but we ask, yeas, insist that you see to it that you do some business with one of them. There can be no reasonable excuse on the ground that Negro banks are not properly organized, chartered and periodically inspected by the state bank examiners of Georgia, for one of them at least, the Wage Earners Savings bank has met all of these objections. and it is conceded by all that this bank has passed the experimental stage, and today, stands absolutely in a class by itself in so far as Negro banking is concerned, in America. Every Negro farmer, as well as all other thoughtful members of the race must feel proud of the wonderful achievements of this great Negro banking emporium, about which such an unsolicited complimentary write-up was given, by a member of the Georgia State bank examiners, who, by the way, is the editor and owner of the weekly paper published at Jonesboro, which is the official organ of Clayton county: Among other things this white editor and state bank examiner said: "Few hanks, if any in the state of Georgia, have the unique and business-like system of handling their affairs as does this Negro bank of Savannah, headed by L. E. Williams." Our only object for quoting this white editor and state bank examiner at his time is to disabuse the mind of any farmer of any scapulous or misgivings which he may have, as to the ability of this Negro bank to handle his affairs with as much honor, dignity and safety as any bank in Georgia, matters not by what name it may see fit to chose. By all means, let the Negro farmers who are very prosperous at this time, place some of their cash in banks where members of the race will be given prestige and financial standing, as enterprise promoters and race benefactors. The Negro bankers are anxious for the prosperous farmers to know, that they pay as high an interest on money left in their banks of a definite period, as does the banks operated by the other fellow. Alright, Mr. Farmer, the Negro bankers of Savannah are looking for you. Will you join in with them and, help to make more and better jobs for deserving young men of the race? If not, why not? Your next meeting will be at headquarters, Wednesday evening, October 3. The winter hour is now eight o'clock, instead of eight thirty, as herefore. Be on time and bring a friend along with you. AT THE Y. M. C. A. Last Sunday was a banner day. The program rendered was exceptionally good. On tomorrow, (Sunday) an extra good program will be rendered in honor of the home-coming of President S. A. Grant. The singing of three quartets at different times have been the occasion of much comment. Two will be heard tomorrow at the "Y" on the same program. Program for tomorrow: Selection, Pleasers' Quartet; duet, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Ford; instrumental solo. Little Miss Thelma Hart; address, Prof. S. A. Grant; selection, Y. M. C. A. quartette. Come out at 5 p. m. Bring a friend. Reporter ST. JAMES A. M. E. CHURCH Rev. C. C. Cargile, presiding elder of Savannah conference, held his fourth quarterly conference on last Sunday.

Having watered the American soil with our tears, enriched it with our blood, defended it in every war, never disloyal or untrue to its best interests, manifesting now common interest with all true Americans in its welfare, honor and glory, we, in our hour of extremity, appeal to your conscience, sense of justice and fair play, and demand that the many outrages and indignities cease and our race be accorded the same rights and privileges accorded all other Americans Despite progress we are still surrounded by an adverse sentiment which makes our lives a living hell. We are shut out by trades unions, and refused work. We are rejected in business, in professional service and even by the government as clerks solely because of color. The Senate of the United States has gone so far as to have a Jim Crow corner in its gallery. Neither the churches of Christ nor the courts of law have overcome the color line. In our Southland it has long been the custom, when a colored man is accused of crime to set aside the usual process of law and turn him over to the mob to be stabbed, hung, shot, or burned at the stake; outrages that would not be permitted in any other country on the globe. The most discouraging feature is that the white pulpit is usually silent and the white press silent, if not siding with the mob. These unhuman outrages have been winked at, by those in authority until they are no longer confined to the South, but are spreading through the entire country and are casting a blot upon American civilization that cannot be effaced. At a time like this when our country is in war to uphold democracy and to prove that our government is the best on earth and as President Wilson said, we should, "Establish in this country justice, with heart in it and sympathy in it," it behooves the American people to make these outrages against humanity impossible. Not only should the "World be safe for Democracy," but "Democracy should be made safe for the World." We denounce the East St. Louis horror as the most awful outrage that ever happened in the civilized world. We call upon the sentiment of the country to help us. We demand that the Federal Department of Justice investigate this outrage and pro-ecute the guilty parties to the full extent of the law. Part II The National Equal Rights League congratulates the nation upon the fact that the basic principles of the government, human equality and human freedom, have been applied with increasing comprehensiveness to those races which make up seven-eights of our population; and it declares that the increasing withdrawal of these principles from the other eighth of the population is a challenge of the patriotism of our governmental administrators and of our fellow white Americans. . The leaglized killing which is called war always require justification. When national self-preservation is not pleaded, only moral principles and equity can be. The entrance, therefore, of the U. S. A. offensively into the most terrible war in history and one in the other hemispheres, can be justified only by vouchsafing freedom and equality of rights to all citizens of the United States regardless of the incidents of race or color over which they have no control. Likewise all true patriots should lay aside hatred and discrimination against fellow Americans. Now comes the President of the United States and declares officially to the world that the government takes part in the European war to promote World Democracy and World Humanity. He tells the new army raised specifically to make the world "Safe for Democracy" that this war "draws us all closer together in human brotherhood as did the Revolutionary War for American Independence. Hence, in view of his own words and of this war, we do now call upon President Wilson to abolish that essential violation of democracy, race segregation of government clerks, and to recommend to Congress the enactment of laws; (a) To enforce the 14th and 15th Amendments of the Constitution which forbid people and disfranchisement, thereby restoring to millions of Americans their civil and political rights; (b) To make lynching a federal crime; (c) To forbid segregation for race in interstate travel, or travel in federal territory. In this world war, Kaiser Wilhelm and Germany and President Wilson of the U. S. A. have a similar opportunity and, responsibility:the former to grant democracy to all the people of his realm and thereby pave the way for peace by negotiation, the latter to grant democracy to fifteen million loyal citizens denied it in the Republic over which he presides, and thereby THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE. SATURDAY SEPT. 29TH. 1917 gain bidded strength to secure peace by success in arms. Colored Americans demand only that the "right: of free peoples and the common rights of mankind" which the government proclaims for Europe be also in the possession at home of all the citizens subject to the risk or suffer disease and death in carrying this cause to these foreign nations. We believe in democracy. We hold that the nation should enter the list with clean hands and that in this formation of a new army, in the absence of any law compelling race distinction, the exclusion of colored Americans from Officers' Training Schools, from camps and cantonments with the rest, is a betrayal of the cause of democracy, and is causing fresh contempt and persecution. We demand equality of rights for all departments of the government. All patriotic Americans must be alarmed that with the country at war, American citizens are burned at the stake by mobs, are massacred because they work for a living, are beaten and assaulted. All should unite against the tyranny of mobs and of labor organizations. Until the right of trial for crime is secure, until the right of travel, to work and to vote is free to all citizens alike, our country can not expect to deserve success in this war, or the favor and blessing of Almighty God.
