The FIRST. NEGRO ELECTED TO NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY Banquet Given Under Auspices of United Civic League New York—The "On to Albany" banquet given in honor of Assemblyman-elect Edward A. Johnson of the nineteenth Assembly District on Wednesday evening of last week was a history making event in the political life of the colored citizens. of this city. The function was given under the auspices of the United Civic League of which the well known John M. Royall is president and who also presided at the banquet. About 200 guests were present and good music, speech making and good fellowship were the order of the evening. The evening and their subjects were: Welcome Address, Attorney James C. Thomas; "Voice in Government," Lawyer McDougal; "Human Rights" Dr. W. E. B. DuBois; "Industrial Opportunity, Dr. G. E. Cannon of Jersey City, N. J.; "Good Fellowship in Politics, J. D. Carr, Esq.; "Political Justice," Rev. Dr. R. C. Ransom; "Organization", James Weldon Johnson; "The Empire State," Hon. Charles W. Anderson. Assemblyman Johnson's response to these addresses was couched in choice English and embellished with good common sense. He is the first man of our race to be elected to the Assembly of New York State. Mr. Johnson was sworn in with the rest of New York and Brooklyn delegation and is now studying his new surroundings as ardently as he studied the interest of his clients while a practicing attorney in this city. The United Civic League which led the fight for Attorney Johnson's election last November is one of the most thrifty and influential organizations for racial advancement in this section of the north. All hats off to John M. Royal its founder, shrewd and successful leader.

There will be needed more than ever next year to produce horticrop in this country. CALLED TO THE GREAT BEYOND AFTER LONG ILLNESS Deacon Oliver W. Foster Died Wednesday Night After a long illness, Dea. Oliver W. Foster passed to the spirit world a little before ten o'clock on Wednesday night, surrounded at his last moments as during his long illness by his devoted daughter, Miss Bessie E. Foster and grand daughter Miss Beatrice A. Foster. His end was a calm, and peaceful one, and with no apparent effort he crossed to the great beyond. Despite the fact that his illness was of a long duration and that during the last several months there was but slight hope for his recovering, yet when death came, those who were near and dear to him and knew him best, were greatly affected. No one has enjoyed the love and esteem of his fellow citizens, more than Mr. Foster who was lovingly called "Father Foster." He was always kind and affectionate in his manner, never given to acts or words that would cause ill-feeling or dissension. He always had a kind word and smile for everybody. As he lived, so he died, peaceful and calm. Mr. Foster was born August 9, 1838, and was one of our oldest citizens. For more than a score of years he was in the employment of the firm of Holcombe, Hull & Co., and afterwards with Capt. F. M. Hull until the firm went out of business. He enjoyed the fullest confidence of his employers. During the past 23 years he acted as sexton of his church. About sixty-three years ago, he joined the First Bryan Baptist church and was made a deacon fifty-nine years ago and was the oldest Baptist deacon in the city. He was made a Mason February 1877 and from that time he remained a loyal and faithful member of Eureka Lodge No. 1, Next to his church and family, he placed Eureka lodge. While he was not ambitious for honors, yet he delighted in advancing others, especially the young men who were worthy. As in his church life, matters not how ruffled the waters may be, he remained true to his principles and inspired others to do likewise. One of the events of his life that affected him most was the death of Mrs. Foster, who preceeded him in death thirteen years ago. The devotion of his daughter, Miss Bessie E. Foster, and his graud daughter, Miss Beatrice A. Foster, is known and commended by everybody who knows the family. This devotion and faithfulness apparently grew stronger even till death. During the past several months, this faithful daughter gave up all of her connections and devoted her entire time to his care. Every wish or desire was eagerly looked after, and everything that medical skill or care could accomplish were lavished on him, and her faithfulness and devotion, can not easily be duplicated. Mr. Foster is survived by four children, Mr. Chas, W. Foster, G. J. Foster, Mrs. A. E. East and Miss Bessie D. Foster; four grand children, Miss Beatrice A. Foster, Mr. Felix I. Foster, Mr. Alonza E. East and Mrs. Alzada M. Holder, other relatives and a host of friends to mourn his death. The funeral will take place tomorrow, Sunday at 12 o'clock from the First Bryan Baptist church, and will be undoubtedly largely attended. Eureka Lodge No. 1 of Masons will attend in a body and perform the last sad Masonic rites. II. D. PINCKNEY HILLS BIG WHITE SWAN H. D. Pinckney of Kings Ferry, while out hunting the early part of the week, brought down one of the rarest birds ever seen in this section, a large, snow white swan. This bird with two others of the same family, was seen by the hunter flying about 25 yards from the ground. He fired into the stock and the white bird fell at his feet, another one, equally as large, but gray in color, was wounded came down some distance away in the marshland. This dead bird measured six feet from wing to wing and weighed fifty pounds. It is on exhibition at Monroe's undertaking establishment. It is thought that because of the severe cold in Canada, where these birds make their habitat, that they were forced south in search of milder weather. When 1914 drive for increased food production begins we will want every bit of farm machinery, especially tractors to be in good working order.

Morehouse College Concert Charming GLEE CLUB AND ORCHESTRAL NUMBERS APPLAUDED Urban League Community Chorus Scores Another Big Hit The Urban League Concert Monday night at the Municipal Auditorium by the glee club and orchestra of Morehouse College, Atlanta, assisted by the Urban League Community chorus of about seventy voices, was one of the most charming musical treats ever heard here. The entire evening's program was one of much inspiration and a veritable feast of beauty, for the music lovers of the city. It is difficult to say just what particular feature of the two and a half hours' program went biggest, for every number received most generous applause and completed captivated the 800 persons present. The orchestral work of the Morehouse boys, especially the rendition of La Favorita, was amazingly charming and showed to a marked degree the excellent training this worthy set of young musicians have been given by Director Kemper Harreld, the gifted violinist, whose animated directing was the source of much comment by the crowd. The other two numbers by the orchestra, The American Patrol and Marche (Lambe) were beautifully played by the twenty-two young musicians. The glee club numbers by the Morehouse boys were faultlessly rendered and their singing was the best of the kind ever heard here. Their singing of the Negro spirituels was most delightful and pleasing, but no more so than their rendition of "Remember Now Thy Creator. Other numbers by the visitors were a difficult violin solo, Faust Fantasia, by Willis James, played in most admirable manner; a vocal solo, "There's a Long, Long Trail," sung by Andrew Taylor in a beautiful, pure baritone voice; a piano solo by Frederick Hall which was so remarkably well rendered that he was compelled to respond with an encore to the deafening applause; a quartette, a reading, "The Eruption of Vesuvius," by Ira Reid, the son of the late Rev. D. A. Reid of the Second Baptist, whose enunciation and delivery were most captivating, and a delightful spiritual, "Swing Along" by the glee club. The Urban League community chorus numbers were most pleasingly $ ^{a} $ sung especially "Deep River," in which Mrs. J. M. Ferreebee sang the leading part; "I Every Time I Feel the Spirit," with Miss N. A. Houston soloist and "I Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray," with R. M. Smith leading. "Steal Away" and "The Lambs" were sung as enchores. The chorus was directed by Prof. R. W. Gadsden. By special request, Mr. Harreld rendered a violin solo which brought forth rapturous applause. He responded with a second difficult number in which were brought forth the beautifully soothing and soal- al ones in the violin 'and which showed him to be master of the instrument. The Morehouse boys left Tuesday morning for Barnesville where they appeared that evening. Last night in Atlanta they held their annual recital at the school.

WHAT THEY ARE DOING THE NATION'S CAPITOL Negro PoPulation of Washington D. C. Increases Greatly Washington, D. C.—Plans for the housing of Washington's alleys, which are to be vacated by July 1st next, under a law passed by Congress, are now up for discussion. The real estate men and property owners are aggressively in favor of having the operation of the law postponed for ten years, alleging that war conditions render the building of a sufficient number of homes very difficult in time to avoid putting many persons out into the streets or crowding them in an unhealthful way into large houses on regular thorafres. The Emergency Housing committee is taking the matter in hand and it is hoped the leaders of the movement will be able to formulate a plan by which the alleys may be vacated at the scheduled time and suitable abodes provided for the evicted ones, estimated to be about 15,000, two-thirds of whom are colored. Rev. J. Milton Waldon, the progressive pastor of the Shliich Baptist church, has been elected president of the Emergency Housing Association and he purposes to push the matter to a final settlement. --- Representative Frank Clark, of Florida, has seen so much of military "saluting" in this "official" city that he has introduced a bill in Congress to cut the practice down to a minimum. The bill provides that— "No private soldier or non-commissioned officer of the army of the United States, in any branch of the service, shall be required to salute any officer of any rank other than those who are in command of the company or regiment or other organization to which he belongs or is attached, below the rank of brigadier-general, notwithstanding any rule, regulation or order to the contrary." Query: What does Mr. Clark mean by this bill? Is the problem of salut- ing so acute that congressional action is necessary to cure the ills brought about through it? Is there a "joker" in the apparently innocent measure? We "pass the buck" over to the wis- asere of the press. The police census, as of November 1, places the colored population of Washington at 102,000, in a total of 395,000. There has been a sufficient increase in the past two months to justify the belief that the population of the District at this time is fully 400,000. As usual, the presence of more women than men is shown. The colored females exceed the male population by 9,234. Last year the female outnumbered the males by 8,585. During the past year there were among colored people of the District 2,615 deaths, a percentage of 25.48. There were 75 suicides, 67 white and but 8 colored. This indicates that trouble does not affect our people as seriously as it does the other race. The colored population a little more than one-fourth of the total for the District. ```markdown ``` Miss Nannie H.

The affair is being given under the auspices of the local Negro Business League in honor of the recent selection of Mr. Lindsay to the managership of that company. Aside from the use the league many other representative men will be present, about seventy-five in all. President Herndon, accompanied by Mrs. Herndon, is expected in the city this morning from his orange farm Florida, and Mr. Lindsay will also come down today from Atlanta where he is now residing. The banquet is given in recognition of Mr. Lindsay's valuable service to Negro business league here and also to the Negro citizens at large while he resided here as local manager of the Atlanta Mutual Insurance Association. During his stay of seven years here, he was allied with all of the upward movements of the Negro Business League and the author of the weekly letters of the league, which appeared in The Tribute and which have placed the local organization very prominently before the Negro business men of the South. He is the president of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a director of the Wage Earners Savings bank, a member of the executive board of the local Urban League and a prominent layman in the Baptist denomination. His management of the local office of the company of which he is now general manager, resulted in the volume of business done by it being second only to that of the home office in Atlanta.

PAGE TWO FASHIONS AND CHARITY New Colors and Color Combinations to Wear in the Sunny South New York, Dec. 28—The big bazaar held at the Grand Central Palace was full of inspiration for everyone, for more reasons than one. Of course, paris strings were untied and penniles scattered broadcast, for who can resist the appeal of a bottle of milk for babies? Then, too, from the more worldly point of view of the woman interested in fashions, there was much to see. Aside from the costumes of the represented countries, picturesque in the extreme, there were modern frocks and coats that deserved more than passing note. The thing that impressed one more than anything else was the simplicity of everything. Not a bit of trimming on the smart tailor- © MCCALL The New Sun. With Narrow Shirted suits, dresses or coats, except for the liberal use of fur on the more dressy coats and the wool trimmings that are considered so smart. The whole thing was on so gigantic a scale that it required many visits to really appreciate it. The blaze of light, the quaint tarnished booths, and the costumes of the "attendants" presented a dazzling effect. Scattered everywhere, enjoying the fun with almost childish glee, were the soldiers and sailors, our own and those of the Allies. Scotch kilties rubbed should- O MCCALL A Smart Example of the Top Coat ers with the gay Bohemian girls, and conservatively garbed America applauded. The Question of Wool With this very cold weather comes the pressing question of wool. Of course we need winter coats, and the knitted scarfs and collars and cuffs fill long-felt wants. Whether we set aside all the wool for the use of the Government, or limit ourselves, remains to be seen. At any rate we are all willing to co-operate with the Government and only use what we really need. The day of sweaters for every costume is a thing of the past, and we will use what we have. For Palm Beach and Other Southern Points Those who are planning the annual trip to Palm Beach or who live in the sunny South, are interested just now in news of thin clothes, spring coats and suits, and sports costumes. Illustrated here is a suit of exceeding smartness. The loose, straight lines are particularly appropriate for the soft, loose weaves of the spring materials. The vest, wits its deep rolling collar, is of chernois cloth, and the suit itself of a Copenhagen blue. The skirt has wide overlapping seams, which can be left open at the bottom for more freedom in walking. The suit is equally smart, made without the vest, with a belt and deep patch pockets. Color News and Notes If you would be considered modish. spbdue your favorite reds and greens. Not to the point of fadeness, however; far from it! Simply soften them into bewilderingly beautiful shades, Soft gray-blue lavenders, ashes of roses, that old-time favorite, wisteria and silver grays and lichen grays; of these are the color caps of Fashion. If you desire a spice, add a dash of rose orange or peacock blue, but the smartest costumes are usually of one tone, with the exception perhaps of the lining, which may be as gorgeous as you please. Wool embroideries and stitchings are used with effect, either in the same shade as the costume or in contrasting colors. The Chinese, Japanese and East Indian influence is plainly felt in the newest designs and colorings. Sometimes they are fairly riots of colors, almost breath-taking in their beauty. Passing Fads The day is almost passed, thanks to the need of the hour for economy and conservation of material, when we felt called upon to put on a summer hat in January or February. It was a ridiculous custom, carried to an extreme originating perhaps with Palm Beach and the real need of straw hats and summery clothes down there. As long as the days are bitterly cold, and snow is on the ground, let us stick to our winter hats. Another passing fad seems to be that of colored boots with cloth tops of contrasting shades. The black shoe with white or gray top, and the deep mahogany with tan upper, are still considered in good taste, though there is a marked return of the all-black boot. White spats with patent leather pumps are appropriate only for older ones or infants. Evening ware, and the all white shoe is fast being consigned to its proper time of year, summer. Top coats are so very practical that they have a place of their own in the wardrobe of the thoughtful woman. They may be worn with different dresses and also with "operate skirt and waist. The one illustrated here has raglan sleeves and a wide belt. The material is wool and moisture. THE NEW EMPIREATION World Peace Fight to Dominate Colored People Hampton Va. Joe Weldon Johnson, contributing editor to the New York Ace, was the principal speaker at the celebration of the fifty-fifth anniversary of President Lincoln's proclamation which was recently held at Hampton Institute and which was attended by an audience of more than 1,500 people, including some 400 members of the Third Battalion of the 372d Infantry Regiment. A summary of Dr. Johnson's address follows: Hampton is a historic and hallowed ground. It is the inspiration of two of the greatest white friends that the colored people have ever had—General Armstrong and Doctor Frissell. This shot has nourished and given two of the greatest leaders that the Negro race has had—Dr. Rocker T. Washington and Dr. Robert R. Moton. The colored man today has his own problems. For fifty years he has been trying to find a solution for these problems. He has searched for a panacea. Some have urged the colored man to get education; some have urged him to get money; and some have urged him to get political power. There is, however, no such thing a panacca. Men must possess all the common powers that make a people great. When men get behind the present international jealousies they find that the unwritten causes of the present world-wide conflict is the presence of the-colored peoples of the world. At the bottom of this great war is a contest of the powers to dominate the colored peoples of the world. Since colored people have unwittingly been the cause of this stupendous struggle, it is they who will surely derive the greatest results from the struggle. The direct result of this conflict will be the defeat of the Teutonic peoples. The indirect result will be great gains for the colored peoples of the world. The world is being made over. Old laws, customs, conventions, and even religions are being broken down in the crucible of war. Something vastly later is coming out of the present struggle. This new thing, called democracy, is coming to all the people of the world, especially to the colored people of the United States. Despite anything that has been unjustly done to Negroes, this country is theirs, and they have faith in American democracy. The spirit of those who handed at Jamestown and Plymouth Rock will prevail. That spirit, though thwarted, delayed, and even defeated, will never be destroyed. It will in time make all things safe in these United States. Some are looking for the tangible evidence that democracy is coming to colored people. The exodus of colored people out of Egypt is a direct result of the Great war, the first effect of which was to take out of industry many of the Northern and Border states who were called to the colors of their native countries. The colored people of the South have been filling this vacuum in industry. They have been obeying a great economic law. Indeed, in this migration there is the hand of God.

Blo MANICURING MASS PORO SYSTEM 508 MINIS STREET For generations the American Negro has had the two-fold choice of locality in living. He could live in the far South, where his economic position, after a fashion, was secure, and where his rights were denied; or he could move to the North, where his rights were secure and his economic position was insecure. Now he is able to place his feet on firm economic foundations and enjoy certain rights. From New York to California, there will be, in time, two million Negro votes that will be counted. Certain things will not come to the Negro until he has, and can use, the ballot. The recent migration among colored people of masses moving leaderless to the North and to future destiny is one of the greatest things in the Negro's history since the enactment of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. This land belongs to the colored people by right of birth and by right of loil. They have paid the price of their heritage in loyalty and in blood. They will gain for themselves the precious things for which the price was paid. Although they will have many discouragements, they must not lose faith in themselves, or in their race, or in their country. When things grow blackest, they must have courage and faith in God. for the hand of God is present even in this world-wide struggle. The drops of blood shed by Lincoln have not been shed in vain. The tears, prayers, and efforts which have gone up to God will not be forgotten. In time they will all be answered. Dr. George P. Phenix, vice principal of Hampton referred to the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation as one of the important days in the history of our country. Dr. Phenix declared that the men from Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Massachusetts attending the Emancipation celebration—song of those freed by Lincoln—are indeed among the soldiers of the Republic who will help win freedom for all the world. Short addresses were made by Capt. J. Holman Prvtor, commanding the 3d Battalion; Lieut. Geo. F. Scaman, acting adjuant; and Capt. C. O. Hadley of the Tennessee company. In spite of the appeal from Europe, demanding conservation at home, American consumption of beef is increasing at an alarming rate, according to figures announced by the United States Food Administration. In the fiscal year of 1916-17 the per capita consumption jumped 10 pounds above the consumption for the preceding 12 months. The average American, the figures show, is eating 65.04 pounds of beef each year. Europe needs beef more than at any time in history, yet our 1916-17 exports dropped 33,000,000 pounds below exports in 1915-16. Unless our home consumption of beef is reduced, it must mean that in order to supply the absolute needs of Europe our own herds will have to be depleted at a dangerous rate—and they are already alarmingly small. Sugar that goes to waste in the bottom of American tea cups sweetens the dreams of Emperor William jus as much as sugar that is fed to the bottom of the Atlantic by his U-boats. .

Saturday January 12$^{f}$ 1918 $^{*}$ NEGRO GENERALS The French government has promot two Negro soldiers to the rank of generals, and many others to the high military rank below that official grade. It would seem that the French people would rather win the war and remain existent than to inaugurate the program of race discrimination, which other nations, practicing it, have maped out for them. Americans say Negroes are the best fighters in the world, and yet say, also, that they lack the capacity for leadership. The American Army Commission discovered that Colonel Charles Young was suffering with a form of acute heart trouble and was unfitted for active field service, and retired him when, because of his high fitness, he threatened to reach the coveted exalted ranks in the army regime. Young says he is thoroughly well. Does any one doubt that even the war board, in this supreme crisis, will make a chance to save its ancient Shibuleth, "Keep the nigger down." Negroes must remain loyal and fight for "Old Glory," in spite of these salings. We want freedom, whether other Americans wish it or not. IS THIS TRUE? It is said the students of the Georgia State College were intimidated into staying away from the Morehouse College concert under penalty of being sent home for going. We wonder what will happen to the many teachers of that institution who were there? It appears most of them were there. It is established by the students themselves that many (we mean a great number of them), desiring to go home to their parents for Christmas, were forced to give up fifty cents each, to purchase tickets for the Jim Crow musical held at the same time. Investigation has shown that a great many, willingly, "codghed-up" the "four-bits" rather than go to it, and went home instead. It amounted to "lese majeste" to pay a sister institution a deserved and respectful courtesy. And "the end is not yet." THE CONCERT In fitting climax to a yuletide season of joy and thanksgiving, broken only by momentary disgust at Jim-Crowlism, came the charming, brilliant song fest of last Monday evening. It came, as it were, to re-assure the people, and as a sort of thrust at the noisome principle which traitorous egotists had sought to set up. It was a faultless night, majestic and free, free from the pricks and fears of unfriendly atmospheres; faultless in the splendor of beautiful women, strong men and laughing happy children; majestic in the consciousness of successful achievement and exhilaration that comes from doing things right and doing them as becomes people who respect themselves. Morehouse College won a high place in the coveted esteem of Savannah people through the refreshing carriage and artistry of its excellent young men; the gifted Harreld, master of the violin and splendid teacher and conductor urged his willing charges to splendid performance of voice and instrument, and controlled the emotions of his audience at all stages of the reast, and filled the cup of pleasure to overflowing in his own two souled numbers; the local chorus. primed for faultless execution of its inspiring contribution to an evening's diversion, fairly out-did itself in beauty of tone and balance of soul-stirring harmony. The crowd was in fine spiritual fettle, keyed up to an appreciation of the high class and the dignified and the worthy in our race, and it got what it was looking for, and showed it in the temper of its frequent and full applause of the singers. The concert was an unparalleled success from an artistic standpoint, surpassing in a wide margin everything of its kind attempted here before. It illustrates that the people love the good things and beautiful, in music and in progress. There was a vision of the greater purposes of the Urban League in its service of uplift and advancement for the people. There was inspiration for the old and the young in this example of the great possibilities which lie in the way of children who will work and study. There was encouragement for the old. We must continue the local chorus, which has done so splendidly and beautifully for the people. We have no asset which quite equals it in knitting the several sections and many groups of the people together in worthy endeavor. We must have more of it. We must incorporate it permanently into the community life. The people have spoken. Let all men hear. A BARRIER MAY BE REMOVED The American Federation of Labor, at the recent Buffalo meeting, declared in favor of recognizing and incorporating Negro union skilled labor. From this action it would appear that another of the detestable barriers which has stood in the way of Negro progress and particularly in the path of Negro skilled labor had been removed. This unusual step has not been taken however, out of a change of heart, not from honest and high motives of fellow-interest and fellow-feeling, not out of a laudable altruism to help the Negro laborer and artisan, and Negroes will not misunderstand this sudden sympathy and interest on the part of white organized labor. On the other hand, they know that this unusual move came about as a self-defensive measure on the part of the Federation for its own benefit and protection. Moreover, it is certain that Negroes are thoughtful enough to suspect that this privilege and concession comes to them with a string tied to it, and will doubtless carry all the subterfuge, Jim-crowism, discrimination and "camouflage" of which designing men are capable. It will be expected that the Federation will be guile the loyal of Negro skilled and organized labor mislead it and "tie its hands." No proof of this is necessary, judged by the past unsavory conduct of the American Federation. Men and organizations do not have such sudden and revolutionary conversions to right and justice as this phenomenon would be if these men were acting in good faith. Migration of the vast hordes of Negro laborers, skilled and unskilled, to northern labor certers has weakened the hold of the American Federations on the industries of the nation and on the capital they represent. The advent of Negro labor into the field in competition with the white puts organized labor in the mental attitude of the dog with a big bone. The white labor organization growled and fought for East St. Louis and Chester, Pennsylvania, are glaring examples of it, not to mention the age-long persecution of Negro labor by white unionism. For since Emancipation, white unionists have walked off the job upon the arrival of Negro labor; employers have been under threat for their employment in almost any capacity; Negro workers have always been regarded as strike breakers or as whips to be used over white workers, and as such have been assaulted and killed upon very frequent occasions. Negro labor, however, realizes the advantage of organization, and of complete organization, however and exercising proper care and caution will be willing to give the American Federation full opportunity to show good faith, and deal justly. And Negro labor leaders will need to be very astute and circumspect for their protection, and they know it. They must take nothing on faith and nothing for granted in this coalition and incorporation. They must trade well and contract well or their lot will be infinitely worse than at present. Wer conditions, to which may be attributed so many of the wonderful industrial and economic conditions of the day, constitute the basic cause, if not the sole cause, of this basic cause, if the American Federation to recognize Negro labor. The Federation is directed at least by sane and intelligent men, men who realize that teaching and not intimidation will not remove Negro labor from industrial fields. These remolest have been tried for half a century without success save as against the particular victims of the oldest deacons in this city, against whom these outrages were di- well as one of the oldest citizens rected. Beaufort. His funeral took place: The Negro has gone forth to the factories and farms and other fields of industry by thousands, and is continuing to go. He is free to seek employment anywhere, and employers everywhere are free to employ him save alone for the restraint interposed by organized labor. This, then, is the crux of the whole matter. Every American, white or black, understands this situation in all its details and ramifications, and knows the sinister influence and operations of white organized labor unionism. We must constantly remind our people that we are passing through critical times and facing the most critical problems in our history; we must urge upon them that their determinations and decisions in these grave problems will fix and determine the future of the race, itself, even, not only industrially, but completely. Negroes have been called into cooperative endeavors with white organizations, only upon occasions when the aid of Negroes has been necessary to the success of the white organization, their greater success, or otherwise to succeed, on the contrary. Negroes have endeavored to co-operate; for this he has been repeatedly repudiated and belabored in every way. The advent of the Negro into the American Federation should be made through responsible and representative agency and with exceeding caution and circumspection.

B. Thompson of the Ga. State College at the general Emancipation exercises at the Municipal Auditorium on the first of January. The entire address is here published: Ten million, or approximately one tenth of all the people in the United States today, are classed as Negroes. The great majority of these ten million live in that section of the country known as the Southern states. During the past few years, many thousands of those that formerly lived in the South have migrated to the Northern or some other section of the country; and while it is very probable that many more thousands will migrate, it is yet quite true that the great bulk of the race will most likely, for all time, come continue to live in the Southland. It is, therefore, evident that it is to be below the Mason's and Dixon's line that the Negro race, for the most part, must work out its destiny for weal or for woe. I am sure it is fitting and proper on this splendid occasion, for me to recall to your minds the fact, that right well have we been working out our destiny along all manhood lines, since our emancipation fifty-four years ago. Our progress in education and in material wealth, and our advancement in religion and morals, is the marvel of the age. No race, similarly situated, in all the recorded history of the world, has ever equaled the progress we have made from the day of our emancipation to the present time. It is true that in our struggles to rise to a algher and better civilization our task has not at all times been easy; our path way to development and progress has not always been strewn with flowers. At times we have been required to stand the acid test and to be baptized with the baptism of fire, but let us thank God that through it all we have never lost hope, we have never turned back; but with a sublime faith in the eternal verity "That God hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth," we have always kept our faces turned toward the morning and have marched steadily forward in the direction of the rising sun. We must remember, also, that in meeting with, and triumphing over adversities in the march of our racial progress, we are simply paying the price that all other races in the world's history have been requested to pay before they have achieved real liberty and unconditional manhood rights. There is no royal road to greatness, either for an individual or for a race. I agree fully in the words of the poet who says: "Now let us thank the Eternal power, convinced That heaven but tries our virtue by affliction, That oft the cloud which wraps the present hours. Serves but to brighten all our future days." I have come before you today, therefore, to bring you a message, not of despair, but of eternal hope; I have come today, to point out to you, as best I can, a few signs of a better day for the Negro who will continue to live in the South. If, therefore, there are those present who have lost hope in the future of the race, who are looking back and not forward, I would say: "Courage brother, do not stumble. The thy path be dark as night. There's a star that gives the humble. Trust in God and do the right." The first sign for a better day for the Negro in the South consists in the fact that the South realizes more and more that he is an indispensable factor in the material development of the South. The Negro being naturally conservative, and, therefore, not being inclined to foster strikes or precipitate walk outs, has impressed the brain and capital of the South as to his great economic worth. As a result, Negro labor of all kinds, both skilled and unskilled, is receiving more consideration today than it has received in many years. Southern brain and capital want the Negro wage-carner and I believe they want him to the extent that in time he will be accorded all rights and privileges that are due him as a useful member of the body politic. And what are the considerations that the Negro wage-carner seek: First, absolute equality before the law; second, an equitable share in the expenditure of public funds; third, a fair and reasonable wage for the exchange of his labor; fourth, reasonable provision for the education of his children; fifth, equal accommodation on the highways of travel; sixth, the right to work along any line in which he is capable; seventh, the right to register and vote on all questions that affect the highest and best interests of the community. The next sign of a better day for the Negro in the South consists in the fact that the white south is becoming more and more inclined to appreciate the real worth of the truly educated and the more enlightened members of the race. I very much fear that in too many cases the educated Negro has been grossly misunderstood. His work and service in the uplift of his race and his interest in all matters that make for the welfare and prosperity of the community, however, are influencing the white south to view him from a much more favorable standpoint. As a result, thoughtful men in both races are coming together in matters that will promote the highest and best interests of the race. The growing tendency to study the racial situation in the South from a scientific basis with a desire to obtain facts, is also a sign of a better day for the Negro. Since the emancipation many of the books written and many of the speeches made on the racial situation are based on premises that are either grossly false, or what is worse, they are based on half truths and they are at most times more damaging than whole falsehoods. As the searchlights of free and unblased truth are turned on the racial situation in the South, many facts are brought out which place the Negro in much better light in the eyes of the country. These investigations have long since exploded the idea that the high death rate within the race is due to an inherent physical degeneracy. It is known that where the Negro is intelligent and where his surroundings are sanitary, and his environments are wholesome his longevity is as great as that of the whites. The frightful statements that are sometimes made on the criminal tendency of the Negro are very perceptibly altered when the truth, the whole truth, is told. In a word, the country is beginning to realize that the race is not so bad after all, and that it is a condition and not a theory that must be considered by those who are interested in the Negro's welfare and advancement. Again, we can see an unmistakable sign of a better day for the Negro in the South in the rapid strides he is making in the accumulation of wealth and in the development of character. One of the weakest links in our chain of progress is the fact we have had such little standing in the commercial and the financial world. The Negro today, however, is learning to save his money and to conserve his energies. He is learning, and learning fast, that there is great power for the achievement of his manhood rights, vested in the "almighty dollar." He is also learning that there can be no permanent advancement unless it be backed up by intelligence and character. He has had his lessons in the school of stern experience, that a little bank account is a mighty good friend in time of need. I have no doubt that the following lines are being made truer and truer to him every day of his life; "This is a very good world to live in; To lend or to spend or to give in; But to beg or to borrow or to get a man's own, Its the very worst world that ever was known." The coffers of our Negro banks today are fairly bulging out with Negro money. He is learning to trust his race in business. Hundreds of Negro ynoth are being employed in enterprises owned and operated by Negroes. The Negro farmer of today is a king. He is going forth in agricultural progress by leaps and bounds. He is increasing his wealth in accumulation of farm lands, in a ratio that is even greater than that of the whites. The Negro with an ever increasing vision, is investing in life insurance to such an extent that when a prosperous Negro dies today the question asked is not "what were his last words, but how much more did he leave." All over the Southland the Negro is building homes, and not distinctive Negro homes either, but modern, up-to-date homes, that would do credit to any race. We must continue to work hard and save all we can. We must continue to practice thrift and economy and to encourage and stand by each other in business. We must bear in mind that the present unprecedented prosperity is largely an accident of the great world war, and that the present high price for labor is transient and not permanent. Let us not be extravagant, but let us lay aside something for the rainy day that is sure to come. And now, finally my friends, I have given you my message of hope and promise. I have tried to keep before you the bright side of the picture because I realize there is already gloom and sorrow enough in the world. My admonition is we should "look up and not down, look forward and not back, look outward and not inward and lend a hand." Let us not lose hope, let us not get mad, for in the words of Robert Brown ing: "It's wiser being good than bad; It's safer being meek than fierce; It's fitter being sane than mad. My own hope is a sun will pierce The thicest cloud earth ever stretched." As a parting word will you permit me to say in these perilous times, in these days when nearly the whole civilized world is on fire, and when our country, yes, your country and my country, has joined the forces that are fighting to make the world-safe for democracy, let it not be ours to cavil or complain? We have been uniformly true and loyal in the past; we are no less true and loyal in the present. There are no consiprators, spies, traitors or alien enmiles among us. There is no incendiarism among us. We are as true to the flag as the dial is to the sum, or the needle to the pole. There may be men in the country who, if given a chance, would tear down Old Glory from her battlements in the heavens, but the patriotic of the Negro race swear by the eternal God that they will utter no word nor commit an act that will alm even one star in all her blue field of glory. The Negro has done his duty in the selective draft and he is today doing his duty in the trenches in France. We have done our bit in the Liberty Loan; we are doing our bit in the Red Cross, and we are doing our bit in the conservation of food. Yes, the Negro is going to continue to do his duty until "The war drums throb no longer and the battle flags are furled." And when this dreadful drama of blood shall have passed off the stage of action, when the world shall have been made free for democracy, the Negro is going to make this simple plea; "O flag! my flag! the flag for whose honor and glory I have fought and bled, and died, vouchsafe to me and to those who are to come after me, every right and every privilege that are guaranteed me in the constitution and laws of the land." Were I asked to give in a word the real heart throbs of every Negro in the South today, I would say: "Zealous, yet modest; innocent, though free; Patient of toil, serene amid alarms, Inflexible in faith, invincible in arms." BAPTIST FORCES TO BE REPRESENTED Dr. E. W. Moore General Chaplain at Cantonments Vicksburg, Miss., Dec. 22.—With the rank of general chaplain, Rev. Elbert W. Moore, D. D., of Columbus, O., has been appointed by President Edw. P. Jones to represent the denomination in a religious and spiritual way at all army cantonments. In making his appointment President Jones advises Dr. Moore in a special letter as follows: "During our recent visit to Washington and after a visit to the various departments, I was impressed as never before of the grave conditions that confronted our nation. The churches must not fall in this hour to make certain and permanent her teachings as handed down for centuries. Our boys who leave these shores for the trenches will need inspiration and courage and I have come to the conclusion, after prayerful thought and study, to request that you will at once act as a representative of our convention as general chapain and see to it that every cantonment in this country is visited and that every soldier shall hear the gospel of the Son of Christ. Just at this time when there is a general depression and a want of enthusiasm on the part of many, I believe you are thoroughly competent and able to quicken the ideas of patriotism and to make sure." alty of our troops. I am taking the liberty to advise Mr. Emmett J. Scott, of Washington, D. C. of your appointment, and am requesting that he take the matter up with the Honorable Secretary of War. It will be seen at a glance that in the appointment of Dr. Jones, the president of the convention has looked ahead for a capable man to do the spiritual work that it deems necessary to be done in the camps. Dr. Moore. it is learned, has already visited a number of the camps and delivered stirring sermons and participated in many activities. At present he is the pastor of the Second Baptist church of Columbus. For eighteen years he was the pastor of the Zion Baptist church of Philadelphia, Pa. He is also the vice chairman of the Foreign Mission Board of the National aBptist Convention and is regarded as one of the ripe scholars of the denomination. Only recently at Columbus he was appointed by the mayor as a member of the Vice Commission, being the only member of the race on the commission. It is understood that Dr. Moore in accepting the appointment will not relinquish charge of the church, but that the church will give him a leave of absence to visit these camps.

NEW YORK SUNDAY SCHOOL. DEMONSTRATION Henry A Boyd to Be Principal Speaker New York City. One of the latest developments of the religious forces of the metropolis was the announcement of a city-wide Sunday school demonstration to be held here January 27. and 28. Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, the secretary of the Sunday School Congress and the newly appointed general superintendent of Sunday school forces for the National Baptist Convention, has been named as the principal speaker. The demonstration is to be held at the Metropolitan Baptist church, 120 West 138th street, which is under the pastorate of the Rev. W. W. Brown, D. D., and which is recognized as the largest and most influential church in Greater New York. The superintendent of the Sunday school, Mr. J. W. Hunter, and the pastor announce, that they have invited the Sunday schools throughout the city to participate in the demonstration. The Rev. Mr. Boyd will visit most of the schools in an automobile provided by the committee during the morning hours, and at three o'clock THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SATURDAY JANUARY 12, 1918 Sunday afternoon, January 27th, he will address a Sunday school mass meeting in the Metropolitan church. Monday night he will deliver a special lecture at the same place. In discussing the matter Dr. Brown was of the opinion that this drive of the Sunday school forces would mean a great deal to the city. The very fact that this front line Sunday school builder has been secured for this occasion guarantees that every Sunday school worker in these parts will get new inspiration. While we have been planning for him on several occasions, it was the first open date he could give for the east. Greater New York will give this Congress Secretary an entertainment, a reception and an audience that are deserving of his worth" said Dr. Brown. Superintendent Hunter of the Sunday school stated it was not improbable that Secretary Bond would on his return south, include Jersey City, Newark, Philadelphia, Washington and Pittsburg, but that his objective point would be the missionary rally at the Metropolitan. NO MILITARY EXECUTIONS To insure to every man the fullest measure of justice. President Wilson has issued an executive order decreeing that no soldier shall hereafter be executed for any crime of which he may have been found guilty by any department tribunal, anywhere on American soil until the findings have been completely reviewed and approved by the authorities at Washington. This applies to all soldiers, except those in France under General Pershing. Vicksburg Miss Dec. 22.—Sunday school activities and misonary efforts among such schools received a further impetus today when President Edward Jones of the National Baptist Convention named Rev. Henry A. Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn., as general superintendent of Sunday school forces of the denomination. This appointment is regarded here by the Baptist forces as a distinct recognition to the Rev. Mr. Boyd, who has served for fourteen years as secretary of the Sunday School Congress, which position he will continue to hold, linking it with the newer and higher honor conferred upon him. He served as a special commission that visited the War Department last month, an it is understood he studied the conditions at the various camps.

In eating vegetables we are freeing other foods that might help them with the war. America has a big corn crop. One of the best ways to market it, after we have eaten what we want, is through the hog. It is far better to sign the food pledge card late than not at all. “Thirteen to one” and a bumper crop should make the American pig’s tail curl tighter than ever. Farmers who chop wood to save coal this winter will be making the ships fly for freedom. Food in the mouth of our Allies is ammunition no less important than the shells in their siege guns. The sugar that goes to waste in the bottom of American teacups would help to sweeten the life of many a French home.
