The PATTI BROWN AND KEMPER HARRELD THRILL AUDIENCE Chorus Work Excellent Reception Following Concert a Brilliant Society Affair The first annual musical of the Urban League which was held at the Savannah Theatre, Tuesday night, was, beyond a doubt, the biggest and most successful concert ever held here. The large audience which was present to hear Mme. Anita Patti Brown of Chicago, soprano soloist, Kemper Harreld of Atlanta, violinist, and the local chorus was immensely pleased with the evening's offerings and went away with nothing but the highest praises for this, the first entertainment staged by the league. It was an allround, finished program which was offered and the setting was all that could be desired. Never was a more representative crowd assembled here than that which listened to this charming program. The music was simply enchanting and the setting nigh perfect. The feature numbers on the program were those rendered by Mme. Brown and Mr. Harreld. Both had been heard in this city before, the former twice and the latter once, but never with as much charm and beauty, for on previous occasions the one thing, the setting, which it took to bring out that in their art which places them on the topmost round among Negro artists was missing. There was everything present Tuesday night to call forth the full and complete strength of their wonderful talent and they "came through" in a manner which was altogether satisfactory and exquisitely delightful to the 900 or more persons present. Patti Brown, regardless of the fact that she was suffering from an annoying affection to her throat as a result of a severe cold, rendered her numbers in most charming voice. In "Nobody Knows de Trouble I've seen" she brought out all the innumerable tones of sweetness, pathos and charm this beautiful melody is capable of and her rendition of "The Last Rose of Summer" was perfect. The applause given at the conclusion of these two pieces was simply deafening. Her other numbers were sung with equal charm and beauty, but these two in particular seemed to strike a more responsive chord, and brought out that in her voice which not only stamps her as the most finished Negro soprano to appear here, but the best the race affords. Mme. Brown was accompanied by Miss Natholie Doxie of Chicago. "Kemper Harreld's numbers were all beautifully rendered. He demonstrated, beyond a doubt, that he is master of the violin and that his years spent in study abroad were not in vain. He brought out all of those soulful tones for which the violin alone is capable and in his rendition of the "Swance River" he was most generously applauded. Mr. Harreld was accompanied by Miss Alice M. Ellis. The visiting artists, however, did not monopolize all of the glory of the evening. The local chorus of about seventy-five voices came in for a most liberal share of the praise. Its work was by far the best ever attempted, here and its appearance won much favorable comment from those present. Its rendition of "Listen to the Lamps" that beautiful lyric by R. Nathaniel Dett, a Negro, with piano and organ accompaniment was a most delightful treat as was also "The National Negro Anthem" by Jas W. and J. Rosamond Johnson, also well known Negro composers. Each number which the chorus rendered found a most responsive choral in the audience and was roundly applauded. Prof. R. W. Gadsden who conducted the work of the chorus, is deserving of much commendation, for it was through his untiring effort and painstaking that this excellent body of singers was able to bring Negro music so effectively before the Savannah public. His thorough and careful training was much in evidence in this the best and most finished chorus work the city has ever seen. The hope has been expressed by many that the chorus be kept intact for similar occasions in the future. Miss Mac Jackson and Miss Alice M. Illis were the accompanists for the chorus in "Listen to the Lamps" and the "National Negro Anthem," the former of the play, I. I. at the organ. The scene around the theatre after VOLUME XXXIII COMMUNITY CHORUS TO RE- HEARSE AT SAVANNAH HOME All Members of the Chorus Are Asked To Be Present The members of the Concert Chorus and the choristers of all the churches are all invited and urged to be present at the rehearsal of the music provided for the Community Christmas Tree next Friday night at 5:30 o'clock at the auditorium of the Savannah Home Association. New music for this important occa- sion has already been secured by the Urban League as well as one or two or- tarios appropriate for the service. The Metronome orchestra has been secured to furnish the intrumental accompaniment. Miss Alice M. Ellis will direct this exercise which was very beautifully celebrated last Christmas in Dixon Park. the program was completed was a most animating one. The number of machines and carriages used to convey the audience to and from the theatre was the largest assemblage of conveyances ever used here at a Negro entertainment. Just preceding the concert and during the intermission the well-known Metronome orchestra rendered several excellent selections. Among the audience were several white friends of the Urban Laegue. Quite a number of them have sent letters of commendation on the program, one from a very widely travelled gentleman who is now residing here, was as follows: "Savannah, Ga., Nov. 21, 1917. "Mr. Sol. C. Johnson, "I wish to write to express my very great pleasure in the musical concert which you were kind enough to invite me to attend last evening at the Savannah Theatre. It was an evening of genuine pleasure. "I regret that the number of white citizens * * * * was not largely increased by the presence of many more representative white citizens to enjoy the music and see the character of the audience. * "I think it would have done much to increase the growing appreciation Savannah people have of the representative people of your race. The quiet demeanor of the audience, the ornateness of dress and manifest self-respect, the genuine appreciation of the music, the ensemble of the entire occasion were most gratifying. "I do not belive we realize how rich America is in the kind of music presented there last evening. The delightful, soothing melodies of the chorus and visiting singer made us feel that after all we are not dependent upon Germany for music. "I thank you for the privilege of attending the concert." SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, Tuskegee Has Excellent Year ANNUAL REPORT OF PRINCIPAL SHOWS ENROLLMENT 1,595 Extension Work of School Being Felt Throughout Southland The annual report of Principal R. R. Moton of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, to the trustees of the institute was made public last week. It is the first annual report made by Principal Moton since he became head of this widely-known industrial school, and is very illuminating. The report covers the work of the institute from the time the present incumbent went into office up to May 31st, this year. It touches upon every phase of the school's activities, telling fully of its accomplishments, finances and needs. The report which is in pamphlet form, is interspersed with beautiful half tone cuts showing some of the excellent buildings of the institution, farms and a few scenes of commencement and other special days. The report shows that the enrollment for the year was 1,595, of this number 950 were boys and 645 girls. In addition to these there were 238 children enrolled at the Children's Home during the year. In all it is pointed out that a total of 2,524 persons had some part in training at the school, this of course includes the summer school for teachers with an enrollment of 413 and the farmers short course the past winter. It is pointed out that the attendance of boys this year will probably be slightly smaller on account of the war with perhaps, a small increase among the girls. With reference to the Booker T. Washington memorial fund it is shown that 12,555 Negro donors have contributed $25,000. It is shown that the sum total raised in subscriptions and donations exceeds $1,000,000.00. "You will notice that notwithstanding the increased cost of provisions and fuel which in some cases has adjudged more than 100 per cent, the deficits for the year is $16,775.57, as compared with $25,682.92 for last year, a difference of $9,307.55 in favor of the year just ended. "The current income shows an increase of about $14,000, due to the increased income from endowments, the income from other sources, including donations, being about the same as last year. The expenditures shows an increase of about $5,000, a net increase resulting from various increases and decreases among the departments, the largest increase of $8,117 being in the boarding department, and the largest reduction of $12,021 being in the Publicity Department. "I regret that the budget has been exceeded, by $9,543., which figures just about represents the amount added to salaries for the year. However, this is only a little over three per cent of the total expenditure. The principal over-expenditure have been: Publicity, $4,139., much of which went into the, raising of, the Memorial Fund would not ordinary be a buttage expense; Boy's Trades, $3,596., two divisions of which had no budget; Boarding, $3,600.; and maintenance, $2,428. The Agricultural Department has underspent the budget by $3,001. But for the increase price of all commodities. I am sure we would have made a much better showing. "There was submitted to the Board of Trustees at the April meeting a budget for the year 1917-18 of $290,828.83. This budget was referred to the chairman and the principal for such revision as they may deem advisable. I have conferred with Mr. Willcox, chairman, and it shall be our purpose to reduce our expenditure to the lowest level possible. "The trustees have already been advised that during the year we have given considerable time to have inventories made of all the property belonging to the school which has been stored away and which should be either be disposed of or put into use. "Because of the high price of food, the Boarding Department has been running at a loss for several years. The trustees, therefore, decided, to increase the charge made for board. The cost of coal and other provisions has contributed to the deficit of $16,775.37 with which we closed the year. Our business committee, as well as other members of our executive staff, have made every possible effort to economize and the Principal has devoted considerable time and attention personally to cutting down expenses. We SATURDAY NOV.24,1917 Bishop Says Color Line Must Go MAKES STRONG PLEA FOR FAIRNESS BEFORE LARGE CROWD Whites Who Pray for Success in War Can't Call Colored People Niggers Boston, Mass.—"When a Million people set their hearts and minds and souls upon a certain object, something is bound to happen," said Bishop Lawrence in a sermon whereby he established in the minds of a congregation which crowded St. Paul's cathedral to the doors the "power of. prayer as a practical fighting force." Then the Bishop pointed out that when a man starts to pray for the success of our forces against autocracy: "Am I a good and pure-upholder of true democracy, do I always want a democracy which keeps me in a privileged class, do I love my political party too well?" He said that Negroes and the Japanese are fighting for us. "We must ask ourselves before we pray, can I ever think of a colored man again as a "dirty nigger," or draw away my skirts in disdain from a colored woman in a street car; can I think of the yellow race as a horde of heathens, or make fun of a Chinaman in the street; can I rest easy and pray with a clean heart so long as Negroes are liable to be lynched or shot down by mobs?" "It is those things which make prayer a force for making better citizens, and by that means better fighters." said the Bishop. are hoping this fall to give our steward, who has been most faithful, more expert and experienced assistance in handling food, etc. I feel sure that such a person will save his salary three or four times over. Suggestions "During the year a number of committees have been at work lokiong in the activities of the Academic Department. It is our desire that the work there shall not in any sense fall behind the high standard set during Dr. Washington's admini-tration. Ta that end we have recently appointed Mr. Clement Richardson, who for eight years has been head of the division of English, as assistant director of the Academic Department. He will serve with Mr. E. C. Roberts, who has been director of the department during the past two years after having served the institute for a number of years as head of the division of economics, geography and history. "Committees have also been studying the catalogue to see whether or not the courses of study are being followed in every particular. If this is not true, we shall make every effort to comply with the catalogue statements or we shall revise the courses so that we may do so. "There is a feeling on the part of many wrkers, and I understand that Dr. Washington himself felt that we were not following up the graduates and former students with, the same care that was exercised during the lifetime of Mr. Bedford. As soon as we can afford it, I would like to employ the best man we can find to devote himself to going into the books and corners where our graduates and former students are, not only to find out what they are ding, but also to encourage them and to point out as far as possible how they can improve in their work, whatever and wherever it may be. I had hoped to put in such a person the coming fall, but the uncertainty resulting from the war raises some doubt as to the wisdom of undertaking it now. I hope some friend may provide the means to do this." Preceding the report are several pages giving the following information concerning the school: What Tuskegee Stands For "Tuskegee Institute, located in the heart of the "Black Belt" of the South, was founded by the late Booker T. Washington, July 4, 1881. Four-fifths of the students who attend Tuskegee Institute come from the States of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina and Texas. Thirty-three states and twenty-four foreign countries were represented in the enrollment for 1915-16. "For the most part these students come from rural districts, where educational advantages for the Negro are meager. They come to Tuskegee with in-trained minds and hands. Tuskegee gives them an opportunity to prepare themselves for a life of larger use, roses. No boy or girl becomes a poor who comes with a purpose, is trained away because of lack of funds. Some of the school's strongest graduates are RED CROSS HAS IMPRESSIVE PARADE PRECEDING MEETING Colenel A. R. Lawton Expresses Appreciation to Colored Women The Savannah chapter of the Red Cross with all of its auxiliaries including the Negro workers, the Toussaint L'Uverture branch, held a very impressive parade Monday afternoon just preceding the annual meeting of the chapter at the Savannah theatre. Leading the parade was the Shrine band, followed by a battalion of coast artillery. Next came the High School Drum Corps followed by Governor Dorsey, the Mayor and members of the city council. Leading the Red Cross division were the officers and members of the executive staff of the Savannah Chapter. Then came the members of the chapter and the thirteen auxiliaries. Following these was the colored women's branch with about forty members in line. The parade was reviewed at the park by Governor Dorsey after which it went to the theatre where the meeting was held. Colonel A. R. Lawton presided. The principal address was made by Henry P. Davidson, of New York, head of the War Council of the American Red Cross. Just before the meeting adjourned. Colonel Lawton took occasion to express his appreciation of the co-operation the Negro women of the city were giving in the work and the hope that they would enlarge their work. HARDEEILLE. S. C.

What Tuskegee Has Done "During the thirty-five years of the existence of Tuskegee, 9,000 young men and women have been fitted to work at one of the many fundamental trades it teaches; 16,000 students have received sufficient training to permanently benefit them—their earning capacity has been increased and they have been taught to appreciate the dignity of labor and service. "It has graduate 2,387 men and women who have taken up work among their people in all parts of the country, and in the case of foreign born students they have, for the most part, returned to their native homes for work among their people. "Following the death of Dr. Washington, on November 14, 1915, the trustees of the institute, on December 20, 1915, elecctd Dr. Robert R. Moton, of Hampton Norman and Agricultural Institute, as his successor. "Tuskegee reaches out in many ways through its extension activities. It is the headquarters for the agricultural department work for Negro farmers in Alabama. Through its summer school for teachers, it annually helps nearly four hundred rural and city teachers; through the Tuskegee Negro Farmers' Conference it touches annually more than 3,000. Tuskegee is also the headquarters of the National Negro Business League. This organization has helped the Negro all over the country to appreciate the business and professional opportunities open to him. In a word, it has encouraged thrift and industry among the Negro people. Tuskegee allies itself with organizations and movements that have for their object the uplift of the people. "A school for Negro boys and girls supported by the people of the United States. It is a place where a boy or girl can work for his or her education at very small cost. It was started in a little Negro church, with thirty pupils. It now has 100 buildings, large and small; enrolls 192 teachers and workers, teaching an average of 1.500 pupils annually. "Teachers and students carry on, in connection with the work of the school, 40 distinct industries. The expenses of Tukeague Institute are necessarily largely in excess of the amount received from students, yet it U. NUMBER 12 NEGRESS SHOOTS WHITE SOLDIER HAD ROBBED HER AND COMPAN- ION ON STREET Confession Made by Dead Man's Companion Augustst, Ga., Nov. 19. Private Earl Harmon, who died Wednesday morning at the University Hospital, was shot Saturday night by a Negro woman whom he had just robbed, according to a statement made by his companion, Private Raymond Knighton, which statement is equivalent to a confession as it implicates Knighton also. Harmon was shot twice in the chest, one of the bullets penetrating the left lung. Knighton is being held at police barracks, as aiding instructions from the authorities at Camp Hancock. Knighton's confession covers every detail of the events leading up to the robbery, as well as the robbery and shooting. Its truth is not questioned by the police authorities. According to Knighton, he and Harmon, who belong to the same outfit—Company K, 112th Infantry—met at the corner of Broad and Eighth streets about 8 o'clock last night. Being practically without funds they pawned one of two pistols which Harmon had with him, securing two dollars. They spent most of this in a short time and then decided that they must have more money. With this purpose in view they strolled out past the Union Station and toward the Port Royal Yard, seeking their prey. On Fifth street, near the Port Royal Yard, they saw two rather well dressed colored women. They stopped these women and engaged them in conversation, the two couples being about 25 or 30 feet apart. By prearrangement, each was to seize the woman by him and rob her of any money she had when Harmon coughed. Within two or three minutes Knighton states, he heard Harmon's cough. He seized his woman and took $2 from her. In a moment he heard two pistol shots. Thinking Harmon had shot his woman in the schuffle he cried to him: "Come on, let's beat it!" and started running. Harmon pumped and ran with him. After they had gone a few yards, Harmon said: "She got mo—twice—in the chest." A few steps further he fell. Knighton got him to his feet and supported him to Ingram's store at the corner of Fifth and Calhoun. On the the way to the store, so Knighton states, Harmon handed him his pistol, which is now in the possession of the police, had not been shot—every chamber was full—indicating that the woman had done the shooting with her own pistol. The amount of money which Knighton say was given to him by Harmon—$4.00—was considerably in excess of what he had before they met the women, Knighton figuring it to be $2.30 more. This, of course, would indicate that Harmon robbed the woman before he was shot. A physician was called by parties in Ingram's store and the police and University Hospital notified. Harmon was rushed to the hospital and immediately taken to the operating table. Harmon's statement to the authorities just before lapsing into unconsciousness, was that he and Knighton were held up by two jitney drivers. Knighton, who did not hear this statement to the police, said, in his confession, that when Harmon handed him the pistol and money he said: "Remember, two jitney drivers shot us." The names of the two Negro women are not known to the police. DR. WHITE TO LECTURE DR. WHITE TO LECTURE Dr. C. M.

ALL RECORDS BROKEN IN CATTLE TICK ERADICATION 65,520 Square Miles to be Freed Dec. 1st...South to Celebrate Washington, D. C.—With a broad wedge driven through the cattle-tick army right to the Gulf and with a new area of 65,520 square miles in nine states cleaned from tick to be free from Federal Quarantine, December 1. will be a red-letter day for the cattle and dairying industry of the South. This release breaks all records in tick eradication. The total territory released during the year 1917 through the cooperative efforts of the states and the United States Department of Agriculture amounts to 70,754 square miles, or 20,000 more than were released in 1912, until now the record year. Throughout Mississippi, and in 90 counties and parts of counties in eight other southern states, local officials and citizens are arranging local celebrations to mark the dipping out of this costly parasite of southern agriculture. The governor of Mississippi, by special proclamation has declared Dec. 1, when by the release of 28 counties, his entire state will be freed from quarantine, a day of special rejoicing. At the state house he will receive the con- gratulations of the United States Department of Agriculture for the state's effective co-operation in dipping out the tick and driving a wedge of free territory through to the Gulg. Before the tick were dipped out, these parasites annually killed many cattle with tick fever, steadily sucked out of cattle vast quantities of blood which would have gone to make milk or meat; wasted, therefore, much of the grain and forage fed to cattle; and finally, prevented the introduction of non-immune breeding stock for the improvement of local beef and dairy herds. The presence of the tick barred shippments of local cattle from the open competition of the free pens at the packing centers and forced their owners to sell them at a dis advantage from quarantine pens for immediate slaughter only. That this year's record will be exceeded in 1918 and that the tick will be banished from the nation by 1921 are strong probabilities. The states of Arkansas and Louisiana, following the example of Mississippi, have passed state-wide laws making the eradication, although its laws do not make eradication compulsory in its various counties for some time to come. Indications from all the tick-infested States are that in many sections the people have grown thoroughly tired of the toll the tick is taking and patriotically are building dipping vats and making preparations to free their cattle during the coming year. The order signed by Secretary Houston provides that the following counties in Georgia shall be released December: Bibb. Brooks, Burk, Butts, Coweta, Doughtery, Douglas, Gwinnett, Jefferson, McDuffie, Muscogee, Spalding, Tallaferro, and Troup. Total released in state 5.559 square miles. The quarantined are after December 1 will include 349,253 square miles, compared to 728,505 square miles quarantined July 1, 1906. The quarantined territory will be divided as follows: Alabama, 19,918; Arkansas, 20,052; Florida, 49,961; Georgia 35,224; Louisiana, 37,824; North Carolina, 9,674; Oklahoma, 22,377; South Carolina 8,619; Texas, 142,918; Virginia, 1,686.

It might have a regular meeting, some distinct mission and purpose, like that of teaching the masses of the people about the world's great music, the value of song, and bringing before them the musical compositions of Negro musicians and composers. We hope the members may look seriously and earnestly into the great possibilities which lie with such an organization of our local talent, which has proved so well its ability, as that of its capable director. NEGRO MUSIC AND MUSICIANS. Far exceeding expectations, the Musical Festival held at the Savannah Theatre last Tuesday evening, will go down as one of the most brilliant occasions in Savannah's musical history. Early Wednesday morning, telephone messages and written testimonials from leading citizens, colored and white, started coming into The Tribune office. With one accord the affair was pronounced a marked success from every stand point. We are publishing in this connection, a few letters from among the more prominent individuals. This successful effort brings us again to remind the public of the function and broad purpose of the Urban League, because we understand its duty to the community, primarily, to be a duty of uplift and education and giving our people a greater vision of the almost limitless possibilities of our people, by bringing before them recognized artists and leaders of the race. The artists and the highly competent and well-trained chorus need no further compliments or congratulations, the vast audience accorded that, in the full warmth of its continued and repeated applause and ovations. As to Negro music,—folk songs and classics—we wish to point with pride to the splendid qualities which it showed on the large program. Here too, is illustrated another of the fine genius for the genius and ability of our aspiring young people. Negro music, as a distinct and distinguished institution, has already taken a high place in the catalogue of musical art, and this success will go a long way toward establishing the ability of our people in this line. We are realizing gradually, that we have got to take hold on all the higher literary and cultural interests which our modern civilization has developed and adopted. We shall be pleased to have more of this sort of thing, and offerer. RAILROAD ACCOMMODATIONS The recent sweeping decision of the United States Supreme Court, forever defeating the so-called "segregation" laws enacted in several of the larger southern cities, brings up anew the possibility of getting that high tribunal to rule, once and for all time, on the matter of Jim Crow accommodations on railroad trains and in railroad stations. Granted that the states have the right to require separate provisions for the race on all public carriers and all public service companies, it seems to be perfectly clear that such accommodations should be equitable and equal in character. No law, not even in southern legis- latures, could conscientiously affirm or uphold the conditions now obtaining in the railroads and station accommodations for Negroes hereabout. The waiting-room is just as essential a part of the provision for travelers' comfort as the railway coach itself, and in many instances, is more so, the because the traveler is in the waiting rooms most of his time, awaiting and changing trains. Provisions for Negro travel in this section are particularly undesirable and repulsive. In fact, travel is so unsanitary and comfortless, as to cause many to use the railroads only upon very necessary occasions. One does not have to go very far to prove and confirm these assertions. Many times every day in the railway station in this city—in fact, on almost every train—Negro passengers are to be found literally herded and packed in half a car, foul and unsanitary from dirt and no ventilation. In the rear of this compartment, ordinary white passengers, paying the same fares, ride in case and comfort. In the stations, the same relative conditions obtain. Almost any day, after the early morning cleaning or bluff, at it, the Negro waiting rooms may be found very filthy. This is just as true in Savannah as in the backwoods. When they have been accosted, railroad officials will say that janitors are instructed to keep these places clean by frequent and regular attention throughout the day, removing fruit skins, waste-paper, tobacco and its byproducts, and providing fresh water and ventilation. They even go on to prove it. But the fact remains, that Negro accommodations on the trains and in the stations, continue to be unwholesome and uncomfortable and inadequate. The porters or janitors do not give the Negro compartments the attention it is claimed. These employees often claim not to have the time, from overwork at more urgent duties. All this is in violation of law already enacted, and something should be done about it. Travelers and observers should make written complaints and protests concerning specific cases, and test cases should be brought in the courts on the more aggravated cases of discrimination. RESPECT FOR THE UNIFORM (From New York Globe) The violence offered to a Negro officer, who was driven from Vicksburg by a mob, was an insult not only to the Negro race but to the United States uniform. Another Negro officer, to whom a salute was refused by two white soldiers, promptly removed his coat, hung it on a post, and marched the two soldiers past it, forcing them with drawn revolver to salute the insignia of the United States. "You needn't salute me, a Negro," he said "but you will salute the uniform of a United States officer." Respect for their government and its representatives should penetrate even the passions of the most violent anti-Negro maniacs. Respect for the United States, if not for the thousands and thousands of black men who offer their lives to their country, should prevent such threats as the officer ejected from Vicksburg reported to the effect that "no nigger could wear a uniform in Mississippi that white people had to honor." This sort of mob rule is the kind that not only discredits us before a world which we are trying to make safe for democracy, but discredits us to ourselves. It cannot imprage the marolltyof an army in which there are thousands of black men; it cannot but embitter those men who are giving their all for their native land, only to have their sacrifices met with contumely and insult. Shame, shame, shame to the recreant Americans who are false to every principle for which our country stands! THE SOLDIER AND HIS SKIN (From New York World) Race prejudice in the United States Army is as intolerable as treason or insubordination. If encouraged in any degree it cannot fail to destroy discipline and weaken the physical and moral force of the establishment. The day following Gen. Castleton's rebuke of this spirit in the Kentucky, camp a colored lieutenant was mobbed at Vicksburg by white private soldiers with civilian assistance and finally compelled to make his escape in disguise. He had gone to his home proud of the commission which he had earned by hard study and training. He fled not so much to save himself as to remove from his parents the danger of violence. If colored men are good enough to go to France to defend with their lives the rights of the United States, they are entitled to all the respect at home for their uniform and rank which white men receive everywhere without question. The mingled blood of lords and costermongers is said almost to have obliterated class distinctions among the British, who once regarded them as invincible. There can be no complete THE SAVANNAH. TRIBUNE, S or triumph for democracy so far as Ameri ica is concerned which does not stifle forever the snobbery which judges a man not by his valor and capabilities a but by his color. NOT AN EQUITABLE DIVISION There is a county in the South where three-fourth of the population are colored, but the school expenditure averages $22.22 for each white child and $1.75 for each Negro child. For self-protection's sake that is a pitilably poor policy. Common justice—don't mention it.—Northwestern Christian Advocate. THE WORLD'S NEW DAY Peace will one day come again on earth. The hallowed sentiment of "Goodwill to men" will most surely again be heralded as the slogan of all nations. "The night is dark and we are far from" the lofty reaches which civilization had made us feel were ours. The deeper recesses of human hearts yet possessed much of inhuman nature and sin. The vaunted idealism had not been attained in the creature which civilization had developed and enthroned. We had to have war. As in the case of individuals, so with the great nations of the world, some terribly shocking and upsetting jolt, shaking the very foundation of nationalism, and unhorsing all the proud nothingness and emptiness of unnatural governments and traditions, must come to establish true values and to enable them to be found of themselves. International good-will, international honor and international law were but the feeblest of fictions, as the present way has proved, founded upon certain experiences and relations, largely social and commercial. There did not exist, deep below the minor exchanges at and near the surface, in the hearts of the several nations the vital and unshakable righteousness and morality of which civilization had boasted. The storm of struggling men and arms shall soon abate, the firing and the shouting die, the "Captains and the kings depart" from all "the far-flung battle-lines," and civilization, dethroneck and demoralized, will find itself again; bird itself about" with whatever fragment of honor and virtue it may have remaining, and win back the respect of the human race. We must have hope and faith, or the ideals and traditions of our forebears perish, and we descend to despair and anarchy. There is yet left enough of the thread of faith to lead us back to our wonted shrines, and we shall go back. When war has purged men and nations of the sin of inhumanity, and shall raise them to the planes of high-thinking and righteous conduct, then it is, we shall see the dawn of the world's new day—the advent of Freedom and Democracy,—called the Millennium. LOYALTY AND REWARD "Since such a little light is ever turned on the good side of our race by Southern white papers that we are highly elated to reproduce a few excerpts from an editorial in The Leader of our city anent the departure of our boys for training at Camp Lee. Not only, are we elated, but we are indeed grateful for the interest and the personal desire which must have given cause for the following: 'One felt, when the Grays or the blues or the Howitzers of white Selects said their farewell, that these boys knew for what they were fighting and that they were defending the citizenship they claim. One felt this morning, as one looked at the long column of Negro boys, that some of them did not know for what they were fighting, but that they were responding to a call that they could only interpret vaguely but rightly, in terms of duty and country. They were not sullen and they were not scared. They merely did not understand. They saw through the glass dimly. It is a very solemn responsibility that a Southern state assumes in sending to fight the nation's battles men whom grim necessity has forced it to deny the franchise. The law or noblesse oblige applies, as Dr. R. H. Pitt has so well said recently; and it is for us who give the sanction of our ballot and our influence to the system of universal service to see to it that patriotism is rewarded with justice—no matter by whom that patriotism is displayed. Even the most ignorant boy of the selects must be made to see that he has a stake in a country worth fighting for! "We agree with what was said, only the writer was a little off in assuming that the boys did not know for what they are to fight. We grant that a few may not have known, but among the loyal number were many who had the advantage of a high school training, who were well aware of the fact that though denied the right of citizenship they would answer their country's call with a hope born within the SATURDAY NOV. 24, 1917 breasts of better conditions for our race after this war. "Like an old white man once, who tremblingly walked to the booth to vote, as with palsied hands deposited his ballot, while doing so was heard to remark: I am not voting for the benefits I hope to receive, but for my children's children's childrens." "So it is with us. We are not fighting to benefit us at once. We are doing a loyal citizen's duty knowing that loyalty must be rewarded. We are fighting that our future generation may not be afflicted with our present humiliating conditions; we are fighting that we may in the future have a voice in the making of the laws under which we must live. "We are praying that this country may not be ungrateful for this loyal devotion and service rendered; seeing we have given so much and received so little, that as a reward for such action this government will write upon her banner after this war the words, 'Equity and justice to all men'. We are fighting for a world democracy abroad, but we are desirous of being embraced in that world democracy at home. "We are striving to prove to our white neighbors in this country and in this very city that we deserve more consideration along all lines than has already been accorded us. We want you to understand us better. We want you to understand now and for all time that the better we are treated, the better citizens we will make. "It is up to you to help us solve what you term the black problem, and no problem was very satisfactory solved by methods of injustice, prejudice and discrimination. "But we are reading aright the handwriting on the wall, the destiny of our people is not in the hands of man, but God; and what divine providence He has decreed, the puny hand of man cannot stay. "We shall not only receive our civil rights, but the urgent need for skilled and unskilled labor will be so great as to free us from the servitude of that cursed industrial system, the white unions. Even now before the war is fairly begun that condition is about to materialize and must obtain is our government is to furnish enough transports to feed our allies.—St. Luke Herald, Richmond, Va."

To AMe@FiCAN Artiste in America. atése peopte wit re) ho een ee Digest) Our only original contributions to the domain of American art have come to us through our Negro population. If this propsition is doubted one is asked tu mention what, besides the rag-time of the modern dance and the Uncle Teams stories of Joel Chandler Haris, has as yet “sprund from American soll and out of American life.” The originality and power of these artistic creations, declares Mr. James Weldon Jouason, ficd secretary of the National Asociution for the Advancement of - Colored Pople, have influenced and appealed not only to America but the world, He places the most importance upon the Tncle emus stories and the spiritual slave songs to which Fisk dubileo Singv& made the public and dnmsieians of the United States and Bu- rope listen, ‘The stories constitute the only folk-lore that America has pro- duced, says Mr. Johnson in the New York Evening Post; and the slave mel- odivs the only folk-songs, “for in them the Negro sounded the depths, if he did not scale the heights, of music.” Mr, Johnson also mentioned the “eake- walk” and ragtime and points to the fact that we need not go very far back to remember when cake-walking was the rage of the United States, Europe and Nouth America. ‘Society in this country and royalty abroad spent time in practising the intricate steps, Part prouounced it the peotry ‘of motion.” ‘Though the popularity of the cake- walk passed away, its influence re- tuuined a fact which this apolozist goes on to examine: é *Vhe inthicnce which the Negro has exercised on the part of dancing in this country has been almost absolute. For generations, the clog and the jig, which are strictly Nexro dances, have been familiar to American theater au- diences, Several years ago the public dliscovered the turkey-trot. the eagle rock, and several other varieties that started the modern dance craze. Half the tloor-sp:ce in the country was then turned over to dancing, and highiy-paid espouents sprang up everywhere. The smast note, Vernon Castle, and, by the wey, an Englistiman, never danced sesceped to the music of a colored or- vhestra, and he never failed to state to his aucliences that most of his dancds had Teng been done by your colored peo- ple,"as Re put it. + “Any one who witnesses a mnsical proluetion ia’ which there is dancing cap not fail to notice the Negro stimp upon all the movements, a stamp that even the great vorue of Russian dances contd not affect, That peentinr swaying of the shoulders which you see done everywhere by the blond girls of the shorts ik nothing more than a move- iment from the, Negro dance referred tw above, the ‘eayle rock’. “Just at this point it wold he inter- esting to trace the origin and develop- ineut of ragtime, int that we must pass ‘over, 1 xo strait to the statement. that reine iy the one artistic production by which Ameriga ix known the world It has been all-conqnering. and is everywhere Intited as ‘American music.’ SOL course, thers are those who will p dene it is an artistic production, Americin musicians, especially, instead of inestigating ragtime, dismiss it with a routemptuons word, But that has always been the course of scholastism in every branch of art. Whatever new thing the people like fs pooh-pooed ; watever is popular fs spoken of ats not worth whi. ‘The fact is, nothing great or enduring, especially in music. lias ever sprung follledged and nnpre- ,vedouted from fhe brain of any inaster 5 the best thar he gives to the world he gathers from the hearts of the people, awl rans Ho thronsh the lembie of his genius. “In spite of the band which musi- cans sil teachers have pliced upon it, the people stil) desaud and enjoy ras- fiow.: One thing cannot be denied: it is musi® © hich possess at Teast one strons clement ef greatness; it appeals universally: not only te the Acnerican Ime fhe Engtish, the T...ch, and even the German people, find delight in it, “Infact, there is not a corner of the ever, that is another story. “We are all familiar with the great influence that ragtime has had on mu- sie in America, Mést people will rec- ognize that influence on ,the musical comedy stage, but-not many know that ragtime has ever influciced our relig- fous music. I do not know bow many of us here are familiar with gospel hymns, but if you are, you can at once see the great difference between the songs of thirty years ago, such as “In the Sweet Bye and Bye’ “The Ninety and Nine,’ ete., and the up-todate, syn- copated tunes that are sung in Sunday_ schools and like meetings today. | “Now, these dances which I have re- ferred tein passing and ragtime music. may be lower forms of art, but they! give evidence of # power that ‘ill some day be applied to the higher forms. Even now we need not stop at thy Ne- ‘gros accomplishment through — these ower forms. In the spirituals or slave songs the Negrohas xiven America not ‘only it only folk-ssongs, but a mass of ‘music, I neyer think of this music but Tam struck by the wonder, the miracle lot its production. How did the men {whe originated them manage to do it? rhe sentiments are easily accounted lors they are mostly taken from the Bible; but the melodies, where did they .come from, somesof them so weirdly ‘sweet, “and others so wonderfully trong? ‘Take, for instance, “Go Down Moses’ I doubt that there is a stronger theme in the whole musical Jiterature of the world.” é ' Mr. Jobnson expresses his wonder ‘that “this: greatest gift of the Negro” ‘Should have licen the most neglected of all that he possesses: | “Money and effort have been expend- fed upon His development in every other ireetion exeept this. This gift has ‘been regarded us a sort of sideshow, ‘something for occasional exhibition, whereas it is the mayic thing; it is the, ‘touchstone; it is that hy which the Ne- gro can bridge all charms. No class of persons, however hostile, can listen to Nexroes singing this wonderful musie ‘without ‘Davilig all their hostilities melted down. Any one who can hear Negtoes sing fron their hearts ‘Nobody’ Knows de Trouble I See’ withont shed- ding tears must indecd have 2 heart! of stone, This very music can be used as bond. | ST believe the Negro possesses a val- uable and much-needed sif€ that he will contribute to the future American de- mocracy. I haye tried to point out that ‘the Negro ix here not merely to be a beneficiary of American democracy, not memoly to receive. Out of his wealth of artistic and emotional endowment he ix going to give something that is ‘eanting, something that is needed, something that no ether clement is all the nation bas to give.” SOCIAL | Mrs. J. 1.

The story goes that they were cleverly outwitted by a party of thirsty Mason citizens who organized a fun- eran procession to get past the vill: gance officers. At a “wet” town in Minnesota, so the story zoes, 2 motor hearse was ¢n- axel. ‘The casket was filled with Tiquid refreshments of the kind that aiake men beat their wives and sec pink elephants. ‘The “mourners” cars were well stocked, ‘Then the prgces- sion. composed of seme 25 or 20 2uto- mobiles, moved solemly toward the state Tine, An the provession neared the border the ‘corteze” maved slowly. Members fof the party assed jt, solemn mien. ‘Phoy fairly exuded xrief. The minis- ‘terial appearing person in the front ‘car afpeared so sanctimonious that ‘ereje contd have added nothihe to his general dejected and downeast appear- hance, Arriving at the state line, the en- forcement officers sized up the sol-r ‘party, uucovered their heads and bowed java the procession moved on unmolest- ed. So complete was the air of gleom ‘and sadness that it Is said the oftecrs even shed a few tears of sympathy for those who were so visthly affected, not <topping to Inquire the name of the “doar departed.” Once the gauntlet was safely passod the pent-up spirits—liquid and other- wixe—were released. The sarness anickly departed, and gloom and Kot- Ale; were scattered along the way. Phere have been indigrant denials of the story, but If true, the Mason City liar has yet in his work. Mason City ‘is wiaety credited of being the home of budding genius. The border en- forcement officers are the “gorts” of the seavon’s best booze hoax—whether true or not. SUNDAY SCHOOL, | THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. ee ee ee ia Pe. 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 orlg- fnal copy by the hand of Moses, but it might have becn another copy, accord- fag to Deut, svil, 18, 19; 1T Kings x1, 12; 36, 4,8, It fs sufficient to know that it was the Book of the Law of the Lord, which, when it was read to the king, caused him tu rend bis clothes and send to Tuldah, the prophetess, to inquire of the Lord, through her, what they should do (six, 2%). This was in the elghteenth year of his reign (sxxlv, 8; xxxv, 19), and Jeremiah, began to prophesy when thirteen. Therefore why send to Iiuldah instead of to Jeremiah? | Perhaps because {uldah was there in Jerusalem aud Jeremiah was prob- ‘ably at Anathoth (11 Kings sxii, 14; Jer, 4,1). It is interesting to notice in this | connection the honor placed upon such Women as Muldab and Deborah and Gannah and others and to remember that Mary of Bethany knew the Lord hetter In many ways than any of the other women or even than Peter and Jou. “Some women seem to hare Léener eyes und curs and a more open heart for God than most men. 1 often ask God to give me guidance through my dear wile, who walks so humbly with Tim; ther all goes well. Hutdah had a gowl message for Jo- |siak, becuuse of his humility and ten- der heart, wien ke beard the words of the Lord, for, althouzh God Is the high and lofty oue who inhabiteth eternity, whose nme is holy, He has regard to the contrite cid humble spirit that trembles ut His, word (Isa. Ivil. 15, Isvl, 2). Josiah called together all the people of Jerusalem, priesty and Le- rites, and all the inhabitants, great and small, aud he read in their ears all the werds of the book of the cove ‘nant that was fomd in the house of the Lori, and he promised with all his heart und with all his sont to perform the words of the covenant aud caused all present to stand to it, And all the days of Josish they departed not from following the Lord God of their fa- thers (verses 26033). The expression “with all his heart and with all Lis soul" (verse 31) re- minds me of the only thing that I ever remember reading that God says Ue will do assuredly with Tis whole heart and with His whole soul, aad that 1s place Israel in their own land and re- Joice over them to do them good (er. XSxil, 41). According to Luke xxil, 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 fuldlment will be when they shall have their re- generation, never tobe broken up again (Matt, xix, 2S; Acts ni, 21) It was in the year that the book of the law was found (xxpif, 8; Sx\v, 29), that Jo- siah caused to be kept the greatest Passover in the Listory of Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet (xxxv, 18; 11 Kings xxlif, 22). It was written of Hezekiah that there was no king before him or after lim who trusted in the Lord, his God, as ho did, but it is written of Josiah that thero was no king either before or after him who turned to the Lord with a his heart |and with all bis soul and with all his might as he did (II Kings xviti, 5; xxiil, 15). Hezekiah excelled in one way and Josiah in auotker, but the Lord noted, each fully. We are reminded of the! way the saints. are spoken of by Paul—some succored others, some lata down their own necks for Paul's sake. some were helpers, some Jabored and some labored much, some were in Christ before him (Rom, xvi)—and thus it will bo at the judement seat of Christ, alt service will be remembered and all manner of service and the spe- cla zeal of each one, and each will re- ceive his own reward according to his own labor (I Cor. fii, 8). In connection with the passover always remember that it was the blood on the dour that made the firstborn safe in that house, not the blood and something else, Int God said, “When'l see the blood 1 will pass over you” (Lx, xii, 13). It was to be a lamb without blemish, and Christ our pacientes the Lamb without blemish and without spot (Ex. xfi,-5; 1 Cor. ¥, 7;1 Pet. 119). The flesh of the lamb was to be roasted with fife aud eaten with unleavened bread and Dit- ter herbs (Ex, sli, 8), suggesting His sufferings and our fellowship with Him in snfferings, and as there was no leaven or evil in Him so we \ho are redeemed by His blood must put away all evil, as it is written, “Be ye holy, & Py olefin EEE PEEP bit THE STAR HA th GROWER : - : A WONDERFUL HAIR DRESSER . : 5 AND GROWER ies Fi One thousand agents wanted.

By hard work and schrewd business tuet, Dr. Shepard has been able for the past two years to Close the fiscal gear without a deficit. Que big fact show- ing the worth of the inst{tution to our people has been the wholesome influence exerted by the graduatea and students themselves in thelr deportment and service in the varions communities in ‘which ther reside: Groups of white people in the south as well as at the north have contributed Hberally to the support of the school because of the “ood that it is doing in fostering thrift and intelligence among the colored peo- ‘ole both in urhan and rural communi- tes. | The courses of study are arranged fas to meet the needs of thet student fwho wishes to prepare himself for a “definite, work in the shortest possible ‘time and in the most thorough manner. Besides the higher literary branches ! taught, special attention is xiven te ‘those students who wish te prepare ‘themselves for social service, secretar: | ies, missionaries, teachers, the minis try und young men and women’s chris _tian association work.

NOT GUILTY (From the Louisville CourierJournal) Considering the Negro as a race and type, both his personality and his an- tecedents commend him to something more than justice—which, as we are told, is blind—the rather too generous treatment. This he Is measurably re celying at the South—especially in states ke Virginia, Kentucky and ‘Tennessee. . Consulting the more intimate record itis full of stirring examples that ap- | Peal to our affections. The authentic |story of how Robert Toombs, fire-eater ‘though, he was, had lived and ied, rome to the yoluntary*rescne of a poor Negro in Atlanta charged with ‘murder is highly illustrative of this. When the case was called, Genral ‘Tooms happened to be in the court room. He thought he recognized the accused. He questioned him. “Are you not Tom Gartell?” he asked. |The Negro sald ‘he was. “Judge,” cried Toombs to the court, “I'll take this case,” and to the clerk, “Mark my Imame as counsel for the defendant.” ‘The state's witness made a plausible ease. Then the defense opened—rath- er tlmorously. At length Tombs, im- patient, majestic, irresistible, waved ‘all aide, “and may it please your hon- or." he said, “and may it please you, Veontlemen of the jury. At the battle fof Gettysburg, when General Pickett’s charge had been repulsed, a Confed- erate colonel, severely wounded, was left on the field. The Federals were raking the ground with their batteries and ne soldier dared to return for his lender. At that moment a black form was seen to move forward through the Confedrate lines. he rushed to the wounded officer. Tle took him in bis arms tenierly and carried him hack to safety. That colonel was my brother. A hero who could do that at Gettys- ‘burg cannot be a murderer. He fs not. Stand up, Tom, and open your shirt,” The Negro did as directed, showing the scar of the wound received in his heroic devotion. Toombs needed not to utter another word. He vommitted the case with confidence to the south- ‘ern white men of that jury, who im- tnediately returned a verdict of not | srailty. That is a fair example of tha feel- ing and attivde of the people of the Sonth toward the Negro. It is their feeling to wish him well. It is thelr feeling to treat him well. He is not only their nelghbor and their friend, but the stand-by of their labor system. ‘They ask heayen and the government ‘nothing for themselves and their child- ren they are unwilling to concede to atm and hig children.

Singfield The great business establishments throughout this and other countries are built on confidence. Therefore, the business of the world is built primarily on confidence. Take for instance, the great banking institutions, with histories of many successful years of operation, with hundreds of thousands of dollars of the people's money on deposit; this presents a wonderful picture of the power of confidence. Likewise there are many other large business establishments and plants of industries, which have been so strongly supported by the people, that the evidence of confidence is shown equally as great. Confidence is an out-growth of friendship and can be created, and it is well to realize the fact that it has lodging in the life and progress of every person; it determines in large measures the permanency of one's success or failure. The confidence of a good business man, or set of men, who by hard work and earnest toil have built up a reputable business in a community, is worthy of inestimable value. The above reason coupled together with others too numerous for the writer of this letter to mention in this column, are why the Negro as a race should give honest consideration to any business organized or established by members of his race, at least until confidence is abused or destroyed. We do not mean that faith and confidence should only be kept on one side, but rather should be kept on both sides, for the obligations for straight forwardness and honest are more binding on the part of the operatos of a business than on its constituency. Now deducing this subject and narrowing it down to individuals, experience has taught the writer, that, as a rule, we have too many of that class of people among us who care nothing about manhood and are willing to sell their manhood for the slightest substance or seeming pittance, without regard to the fact that they are not only reflecting shame and disgrace upon themselves but upon their families, their friends and their race. Let us rise above the old stage of simply trying to get by for today and realize the fact that the Negro as a race must look the world squarely in the face, and demand all of the rights and prerogatives which are considered necessary to be had by any other race, but let us be sure to accord all the rights and prerogatives due each other, in other words, let us get right at home, then we can better afford to contend for that which the other fellow has belonging to us. It is conceded, and justly so, that the man who can control and discipline himself to the extent that he can negotiate a loan from his next door neighbor, his fellow associate or form any source whatsoever and repay said money on schedule time, as per the agreement, is a good business man; whether he is actively engaged in business or not, there is a high place in the business ranks awaiting him. There is another set of business men that the local branch of the National Negro Business League in Savannah is, waiting and looking for, and that's the man or set of men who have the ability to maintain and support a family and keep the wolf from the door. We would regard such a man worthy of membership in the league; therefore, a man will not necessarily have to be actively engaged in business before he could be qualified to join the league. We purpose just here to say a word to the ministerial brethren by way of, encouraging them, if possible to attend the meetings of the Business League. There is no just reason why the ministers of the gospel should not attend the Business League, as I am sure that in these meetings is the proper place to apply the yard stick to business along any line conducted by the race, and thereby get information needed, all of which will better fit and prepare him to preach the gospel of Negro business and unlift to his people, as well as that of the Lowly Nazerene. There was once a time when the business men had a better co-operation with the ministry and thereby got better support, is why the writer is seeking to make the broad and unselfish appeal to our preachers, as they are the recognized leaders of our race and should come in touch with the Negro interest from every angle. Therefore, let the brethren of the ministry avail themselves of the opportunity of coming to the meetings of the Business League and lend their encouragement, their influence, and their support—a hearty welcome awaits you. By a unanimous vote of the league, some years back, all pastors were exempt from dues, we simply rehearse this information. We want the Business League truly represented by the people in order that interest may be awakened and more enthusiasm injected that confidence may have its sway. The confidence and support from an organized force become powerful and mighty—steadfastness of purpose, earnestly striving to promote the interest and welfare of a struggling race; these are the stepping stones to the confidence of one's fellowman. You may feel assured of every assistance the Business League can extend to you in any worthy effort to attain this end. The next meeting of the League will be held on the 1st Wednesday in December at 458 West Broad street. Come early and witness the opening deliberations.

The affair was a most brilliant one and was under the auspices of the Yamacraw Free Kindergarten Association of the Urban League. Never has this well known dance hall presented a more picturesque scene than was witnessed on this occasion. The beautiful gowns of the ladies made a wonderfully charming sight against the lovely background of decorations of the hall. Refreshments were served by the ladies of the association. Music was frunished by the Metronome orchestra. WRIGHT—In loving memory of our dear son, Mr. Perry R. Wright, who departed this life Nov. 21, 1916.
