We have two more to get before we finish. The camp life here is better than most of us had heard. There are some opportunities here and they seem to be in reach of those showing exceptional abilities for work and study. At present the following men are in the company school for non commission officers. If we do not win, we cannot say the chance was not given: Harry Gouldrock, Sims Thomas, Ben Norman, Fred Ward, Everett Theus, John Scott, John Bedgood, Scipio Thompson, Alexander Carter, Frank Callen Eddie Weston, George Shellman. The men are enthusiastic. Prof Jason easily takes honors here. On last Saturday night he put on the boxing gloves at the Y. M. C. A. and took all comers. EH made a tremendous hit on a man's rib and on the men of the camp. Privates Allison, Hardwick, Bonner, McNeal and Roberts are always on hand to guide the new men along the right path.

Address In Park Extension By Dr. P. James Bryant of Atlanta One of the Most Brilliant Ever Heard In This City. All Business Houses Let Help Off For Mammoth Demonstration. The biggest, grandest and most spectacular civic parade ever held in this country by Negroes was that of Wednesday afternoon when 20,000 Negroes representing over a hundred different organizations marched through the city in one mammoth demonstration which marked the opening of the great campaign for the sale of Thrift Stamps in the First Congressional District of the state Savannah as headquarters. The parade was in every respect a colossal success and demonstrated beyond a shadow of doubt the unwavering loyalty of Chatham county Negroes to the Stars and Stripes. Those who viewed the almost unending line of marchers became eye-weary before the last file of fours passed by for it took fully one hour and forty minutes for the entire parade to pass a given point. Very nearly every Negro of note in the county was in line marching shoulder to shoulder with his less prominent brother. The well-to-do were there joining arms with the more humble of the race, the mechanic walked glidefully along with the laborer, the old and feeble were helped along in the grand procession by the strong. The cripple hobbling along on his ever trusty crutches and the invalid wheeled in their roller chairs went along in the two mile march all taking their share in this, the most remarkable demonstration held since the shackles of bondage were broken asunder by that document which fifty-three years ago gave to the Negro his freedom. Religious bodies vied with benevolent societies in adding splendor to the parade and a score of lodges marched forth together with almost countless social organizations in one magnificent sight. The thousands of public school children of the city and county, led by their teachers, wore in line with the less numerous teachers and pupils of the private schools. Old men, weighed down with years of toil, members of the Grand Army of the Republic and wearing their full regalia, gave to the demonstration that touch of sacrificial service which only the appearance of these grand-old veterans can produce while the Red Cross Chapter with its junior members both dressed in their attractive uniforms was in line telling in no uncertain terms the great service which Negro women are performing in the titanic strudgle for world freedom which America and her allies are waging on the battlefields of Europe. The glitter of militarism was by no means lacking for this feature was supplied by the seven companies of the Uniform Rank of the Knights of Pythlas and Knights of Damon. A baby, too, was there, proud young America, seven months old being wheeled by his patriotic young parents in a carriage which hore the inscription "America, here's my boy." The husky, robust, stalwart men of the waterfront, about 900 strong, men upon whom Uncle Sam is depending to load his ships with proprisions for the boys who are spilling their blood in the trenches that America might live unmolested by the heartless Hun, walked arm in arm with their hundreds of brothers in toll who hailed from the shops of one of America's great railroad shops. Yes, everybody was there, every school, church, society and union, pastors and their entire congregations, black teachers with their black pupils, white teachers with their black pupils, all except the leading Negro school of this section of the state, the Ga. State College, which refused to participate in the demonstration. The pupils were willing and anxious to turn out but the narrowness of those in charge of the school, in spite of the invitation extended, prevented their participation in the demonstration. Especial attention was attracted to several organizations in line. The Red Cross led by the president, Mrs. Rebecca S. Taylor, made a very creditable showing. The organization had about a hundred members in line, followed by scores of members of the junior organizations, knitting and surgical dressings classes. The Savannah Home Association took the honors of the day. With two hundred men in line, led by President Ed. H. Burke, and dressed in palm beach suits, straw hats and white shoes and every one carrying marching canes with a white triangular flag with the scarlet letters "S. H. A." this organization was accorded very generous applause throughout the entire line of march. The 200 men were divided into two companies, under command of Joseph J. Brown as captain with the president and executive board marching in front. The men had been drilled by Capt. Brown and their marching was perfect. They carried some sort of reed instrument which they used to good effect when the hand was not playing. The International Longshoremen, under J. B. Preston, president, and the Seaside Wokring Mens association der Major Jackson, president, made a very imposing sight. Composed of big, able hooded, powerful men, these organizations were excellent representatives of Uncle Sam's workers along the sea coast. We'don Lodge of Elks, with Exalted Ruler H. Henry Spencer, leading, and the Barriers Union under President P. Edward Perry as president, received much applause. The former were dressed in silk hats, Prince Alberts, black trousers and shoes while the latter were white duck suits, white shoes and straw hats. The Imperial women scouts, dressed in khaki, service hats and leggings and carrying wooden guns, received very generous applause. They were under Capt. Joseph Rivers. The Letter Carriers also received a big hand all along the line of march. The parade presented several children whose costumes called forth much applause. They all marched together and made a most beautiful spectacle. Uncle Sam was represented by little Willie Thomas, Miss Columbia by Ursa line Belcher. Toussaint L'Overture by Howard Reid, James Lemon, Jr. was a sailor boy and Allen Toppin, Joseph King, Jr.; William Jamerson, Harold Davis, Paul Perry and Richard DesVerney, sailor boys, all of the latter carrying a large American flag. Many beautiful and significant banners were carried by the various organizations. That of the Eureka' Aid and Athletic Club was magnificent. There were several club service flags and one by the West Broad Street school stating that 95 parents of child- (Continued on Page 4, Column 4) LOST ON THE CITY OF ATHENS J.

ROGERS DIED LAST SATURDAY Was a Leading Churchman and a Prominent Churchman Mr. Richard W. Rogers died Saturday at his home at 203 31st street, west, after an illness of several weeks. He was 49 years old and was born near Macon, Ga. He moved to this city when a small boy and has lived here ever since. He was a prominent churchman, being a trustee and class leader of St. Phillip church. He also was prominently connected with the Masons and Knights of Pythias, being treasurer of Chas, Sumner lodge, K. of P., since its organization, and a foremost member of Solomon Temple lodge of Masons. He was a man of a most amiable disposition and had a wide circle of friends. For about thirty years he was employed by the Naval Produce company. His funeral was held on Thursday afternoon from St. Philip A. M. L. church and was attended by the societies of which he was a member. He is survived by a wife, Mrs. Bessie Rogers; five children and-a sister. Mrs. Mamie Woodard. Butterworth and Judson Corporation of this vicinity has in its employment a number of Negroes and are quite willing to employ more. * * * * The Negro Welfare League of Newark is both willing and ready to aid any new arrivals in securing both work and homes. * * * * St. James A. M. D. church is one of the leading colored churches in Newark, and is making much success under the leadership of its progressive pastor, Rev. H. K. Spearman. During the past two years several hundred new members from different parts of the country have been added to his congregation. --- Several new members from Savannah have connected themselves with St. James, namely Mr. and Mrs. G. G. Allen. Mrs. Emmy Miller, Misses Lizie Hamilton. Annie Cillio Thomas and Pauline Anderson. Mr. Joseph Powell of Savannah is class leader. Mr. E. W. Simpson, formerly of Savannah, is confined to his bed for several weeks, is now much improved. Leave orders for Savannah Tribune at Mrs. Emma Miller, 76 Kinny street east. Mrs. C. D. Allen and her sister-in-law Mrs. John A. Allen, both of Savannah, arrived here on Sunday afternoon. BODY RECOVERED The body of Middleton Anderson who was drowned at the Ocean Steamship docks several weeks ago has been recovered. It was washed ashore on Butchinson Island. The remains were buried on Thursday afternoon, the funeral taking place from Mt. Zion Baptist church State Negro Business Men Meet Tuesday MACON TO ENTERTAIN SECOND ANNUAL CONVENTION Several Local Men will be Present At Meeting The second annual session of the State Negro Business League will convene Tuesday of next week in Macon. The convention will share the hospitality of the Central City with the South Atlantic Medical Society which also meets Tuesday. The business men will be in session about three days, the opening session taking place Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock The meeting will be provided over by President A. B. Singfield of this city who with the other Savannahians to attend the convention will leave the city Tuesday morning, State Secretary J. C. Lindsay, of Atlanta is expecting the convention to far surpass both in attendance and helpfulness the initial meeting of the league, held last year. Several of the other larger cities of the state will send up delegations, the largest probably going from Brunswick and Waversc GROWING INTEREST IN NEGRO EDUCATION Atlanta, Ga.—Judging from the earnestness of the addresses before the Georgia Association for the Advancement of Education Among Negroes held here last week, decided interest is being awakened among our people along educational lines. It was made very evident through the meeting that the object of the organization is not simply that of coming together once a year for the purpose of listening to addresses on various phrases of educational work but rather of marshaling all of the forces among our own people and others interested in our cause with the hope and determination of providing better school facilities for Negro youth in Georgia. Information brought out by some of the speakers showed unmistakably the growing need for united action if some of the conditions now existing are to be remedied. However, the situation is not altogether hopeless as there were reports from some places which showed marked interest on the part of not only the public school authorities but of private citizens white and colored alike. In his address on the Importance of Organization in Advancing our Educational Interests, Editor B, J. Davis, laid stress on the importance of having all classes interested in this work and show clearly the necessity of having a fund with which to prosecute it. As an evidence of his genuine interest in them he offers to give $100.00 provided 100 other individuals will give $10.00 each. It will be encouraging to the friends of this movement to know that a fine start has been made to secure the $10.00 subscriptions needed to complete this fund of $1100.00. Organization will within a short time make public its plan for using this fund. Here seems to be a real opportunity for getting some constructive work done along the line of improving public school facilities for Negroes in Georgia and it is carnethoped that the response to the appeal soon to be sent out will be generous and prompt. Prof. William A. James of Statesboro chairman of the Bulloch County War Savings, Stamp Committee, and Dr. H. Van Buren were in the city Wednesday and took part in the patriotic parade. M. J. B. President A. B. Singfield of the State Negro Business League. APRIL ADANCES IDEAS FOR SUMMER FROCKS Matrials Of To Day ...New York, May 6, 1918—April's Lady has much for which to be thankful for this year. There are costumes to suit her every mood (and she has many of them!). On days when the winds remind her of March and the bitter Winter just past, she wraps herself in her voluminous cape, pulls her close-fitting little turban still closer over her sunny locks, and smiles with keen enjoyment: Then when the sun shines brilliantly, and the soft breezes fan her cheeks, she dreams of Summer, and dons her sports suit of glowing emerald-green and, swagger stick in hand, sets out for the cross-country tramp. If she does war work, as of course she does, she wears her simple O. MCCALL Sleeveless Overblouse and Flowered Skirt frock of serge and satin, short and narrow of skirt and straight of line. Then for the evening, at her home or with her friends, she chooses, perhaps, sleeves, and draped, tunic skirt. Her hats and gloves, her veils and scarfs, those important odds and ends, and the simplicity of the mode, and Fashion's tribute to Patriotism. Modernizing Materials We are finding this year, in the interesting fabrics spread forth for our inspection, many an old friend with a new name. There is that favorite of J. MCCALL heavy ribbed silk, so appropriate for the dresses of to-day that hang in such long straight folds. There have been hints for some time of the vogue of calico for prim little frocks, becoming and—shades of our school aprons—smart! Of course, gingham is not new to us this season, but gingham silk is, and gingham tissue and gingham volle. Such a hold have these old-fashioned patterns taken on us. Organdle tempts us with new ways, cross-barred effects of the self-tone or a stripe and checks vie with the one-color organdies. This crisp material is absolutely bewitching for the Summer Girl. Collars and cuffs, parasols, sashes and hats are all made from this defectable goods. Bordered material The World City food Cultivation Soil holds a high place in favors this year. Embroidery flouncing makes entire costumes, or combined with batiste or organdie, the embroidery is used for the quaint little sleeveless Eton coat and for the skirt, while the plain material makes the flowing sleeves and the loose waist. Concerning Overblouse There is one thing absolutely essential in everyone's wardrobe this year and that is a sleeveless overblouse. It may take the place of the gay woolen sweater or not, but it must be among those present, if one wishes to feel well dress! Some say it is a rival of the ever-illustrated here shows the big convenient pockets and loose girdle. It slips on over the head, and is worn here, with a gay flowered suspender skirt (another fashion leader) and a white blouse. The skirt is short, as all good skirts should be, and rather narrow. The widebrimmed sun-hat has applique motifs in bright colors. And Around Her Waist There are any number of fascinating ways to solve the belt problem. Of course the first one that one thinks of is the wide crush ribbon put once or twice around the waist, with a flat boy, long ends, be-fringed or beaded, or the perky bustle how at the back or the side. A girdle of this type is warranted to transform last year's dress into this year's dress, if one follows the straight rule of fashion. Girdles of beads are very popular, especially on the dress that is long waisted. Wide youkes on the skirts seem to demand the narrow belt of ribbon or kid. Sport hats and costumes must need be accompanied by wide leather belts with interesting buckles. On organdie frocks and dainty volles, the satin belt is a favorite, sometimes contenting itself with a small rosebud or two without the traditional bow. Sometimes the sash is very, very long, reaching the hem. Miss Simpliety Bordered tissue was chosen for this flounces, the sleeves and th attractive little vest be-speak youth in every line. The collar and vest are picot-edge, giving a simple finish to their daintiness. Royal Seabreeze AT WHITE THE IDEAL SPOT FOR PICNICS. FROM CITY. SCHEDULE—LEA SUNDAYS, 10 A. M. AND 1 P. M. AND T.

DO YOUR BIT Thrift Stamps FOR SALE AT TRIBUNE OFFICE 25Cents Each THIS IS A MEATLESS DAY Because of His Excellent Wor Along Literary Lines The fourth Spingarn Medal was made Friday evening, May 3, at the First Baptist Church, Providence, R. L, to William Stanley Braithwaite of Cambridge, Mass., the distinguished poet and literary critic, whose work as literary critic to the Boston Evening Transcript and contributor of critical essays to the Forum, the Century, Scribner's, the Atlantic Monthly and other leading magazines has made his name well known to the literary public. Mr. Braithwaite is a poet as well as a critic. In 1904 he published "Lyrics of Life and Love", a small volume of poems, and in 1903, "The House of Falling Leaves." Since 1913 he has edited the "Anthology of Magazine Verse", published by Small, Maynard & Company of Boston. In 1916 Mr. Braithwaite became editor of the "Poetry Review" of Cambridge. He has also edited "The Book of Elizabethan Verse," "The Book of Georgian Verse," and "The Book of Restoration Verse," and is the general editor of "The Contemporary American Poets Series" which is shortly to be issued in twelve volumes. Mr. Braithwaite's most recent publication is a volume entitled "The Poetic Year," in which are gathered together a series of articles which were contributed by him to the Boston Transcript during the years 1916 and 1917. It is needless to remark that Mr. Braithwaite's reputation extends beyond that of a "Negro" critic. His achievements have placed him in the forefront of America's literary critics irrespective of race. The National Association for the Ad- advancement of Colored People is authorized to make public the following telegram addressed to Governor Tom C.Rye of Tennessee by Bolton Smith of Memphis, Tenn., Secretary of the Law and order League which was organized two months ago, following the Estill Springs burning, to put a stop to lynching: San Antonio , Texas; April 23, 1918. Hon. Tom C. Rye, Governor, Nashville, Tennessee. The lynching of Berry Noyes at Lexington, Tennessee, April 22, cannot but sow disunion among our people, undermine the morale of our Negro troops, and lesson the effectiveness of our propaganda among colored people for food production and conservation. It will therefore tend to prolong the war and increase the price in dead and wounded we have to pay for victory. I have been visiting the Texes Camps and witnessed the self-sacrificing work of our splendid young men who are preparing to risk all for us. It is strange our own people will not help them by exercising the self control necessary to give a Negro charge with crime such a trial as our own laws provide. The government of the United States is controlled by Southern men. It has called the Negro to the defense of the colors and the American people will demand that a race thus honored shall be granted the justice of a fair trial when accused of crime. We all know that when guilty there is no doubt of full punishment. The Lexington lynchers cannot have realized the extent to which their act furnishes aid and comfort to the enemy. As Secretary of the Tennessee Law and Order League, organized to stop lynching, I urge you to issue a proclamation to our people pointing out the reasonable effect of such act that you call upon the Presi- dent of the United States as commander of the nation to reinforce your words, for it is plain we are threatened with a nation-wide increase of this crime.

Les 5 é ee 5 A tA ‘ SS SATURDAY MAY 11, 1918 JHE PERFEOT DAY Wednesday, May 8th, 1918, will for years be remembered in the annals of the city of Savannah for the exceed- ingly brilliant, achlevement of Chat- bam county colored folk, in the great War Savings and 'farift Stamps pa- rade. . Passing brilliant asd beantiful was ike splendin spectacie of beautiful col- or, and bustling jubilant, quickened Hving souls! And the emphatic evidence of order- Uness of arrangement, the disnity and comeliness of the scores of represente- tive divisions, the evidences of train- ing betrayed by the children, the churchmen, business and professional wmen—joined in one vast concourse of carefully co-ordinated elements and groups—twenty thousand (20,000) of them, the experts say, based upon a eampilation of figures furnished by the heads of the participating organtza- tors—and all with a common mind apd purpose! . It was the greatest day Savannah evor see. It was the most colossil Patriotic fervor, of unbounded leyalty gankation we have ever witnesal. It was the most interesting display of patriotic fervor of unbounded leyalty ‘to the Stars and Stripes ama race self- assestion which could be aroused unt der similar conditions of mem ama, xao- uve e It was the heart-beat of the Nezro race-acceleigicd by the stress af Aorrthie and rothless warfare. with its dying men, ils cries: of starving child- ten, its piteous pleas of assailed o- men. It was the eloquent ang visuali- vet answer to the call of a nation upon its humble citizens. It was the sign of the rousing of a race from its sleep ‘of indifference and wasted opportunity —it.was the picture of that race zird- Ang itself for the problematic future, They came on—they passed— and ‘atill they came on and passed—throuzh ‘the streets of a great city, amid its ‘traditiona and rezimes, mindful of its. ‘pewers; its shibboleths. its principles. and ita possibilities—and yet. they: came and came on and on—now in the sizzling, southern sun, and then in the shade of beautifal trees, ‘The ma- Jesty oft that thought-provoking spec tacle will not soon pass from the mouths and memories of those other thousands who had- looked on—some in awe, a few with a half-sneer, some §n childish wonderment dud bewilder- ment and,many more than these (thank God!) in sincere appreciation and Jos- ous congratulation... Every clement of the good people of this best city of the South contributed to the abounding and unprecedented victory of the remarkable event—the white as well as the black—as, also, each should, not in this alone but in every great movement for the good of the people, whether that movement ort- ginates with the one or the other, Both are fellow-toilers toward the same goals of civilization, both amen- able to the same physical and spiritual experiences, both subject to a - com- mon Divinity and both fellow-travel- grs toward the same grave. . The*beneficent results of this splend- id accomplishment’ of the community (for {t was no one man’s achievement, no single group's success) shall not soon pass away, nor will they soon be forzotten. The Inevitable results from within the race and outside it are as certain as that the night shall fol- low the ‘day, and will begin to accrue at once, é We are passing out of the shadow of prejudices and oppressions; we are throwing off the yokes of superstition, of internal weaknesses; we are enter- ing upon the bright new day of op- portunity and creative and constructive Progress. ‘We shall expect from our government and from our governing classes what we as a racé deserve as a result of our contribution to the common cause of national self-defense and salvation. We believe it will not be necessary to wrest this just ‘recompense by unde- sirable and unpleasant means, We be- Heve that the minds and consciences are growing- and expanding with the bigger, newer thought and theory of the times and we feel that we are wending our way toward the brilliant noonday of fellowship, brotherly in- terest and the*establishment of the principle of the golden xule on earth. ‘The fading rays of Wednesday's sun shone upon the hearts of twenty thous. and of liberal and loyal Americans— men, women and children, whose in- terests in the Stars and Stripes no un friendly suggestion can lessen, whose loyalty to America no alien appeal of purse or trick will canse to falter, and whose courage and willingness to die are only measured by their life's blood, . And “still they came on” in seom'ng- ly endless procession to pledge their loyalty, their labor, their- men and their mones—20.000 strong—to Ameri- ca and Democracy. It was “the end of a perfect day.” THE DESERTER If there be any min who questions the unity, the ‘co-operation the soli- darity or the loyalty of Negro people. last Wednesday's magnificant spectacle proved an appropriate and ample ans- wer to his misgivings, Every Nezro mah, woman and chiid in Chathani county who was not in line, in some group, thus putting the world on notice of his loyalty to his organization, to his race and to his country, must have had a very com- fortless expérience and must have spent a restless night. If their were obstructionists, their efforts were .not felt; if there were slackers they Were not missed; if there were spies, they were overwhelmed by the grandeur and magnificent of what they saw; if there were deserters, RVs. PiU rede HWA AU Lem bd bs avid or «: ere Se twenty-thousand 9 loyal citizens are cHargea with the-desire and the duty of discovering and remembering them. There could be no basis of obstruct- Ing, of slacking, of deserting. The promoters of the great parade had one mind and one motive, only, and that was the magnifying of the grave in- terests of a race and a nation, They realized that the Negro race, like the gieat American nation, 1s in travail and.tribulation. ‘There was no time for “exteiiding votes of thanks,” pronounc- ing-evlogies on individuals, giving cha- tauqua salutes abd other tom-foolry. A.man does not need much sense to see thé wisdom of much of the foollsh- ness with which we have fritted away our time in the past. This hero-wor ship is.done’away, and {f there be left any whose business it is to seek it by Planning or one who ts. disposed to sulk or desért when he dinds that the great masses of our people have gotten Beyond that stage, “he should be re- membered” according to the matchtess orator of parade day. a What interest cah there be apart from patriotism and above it? What studied deviltry, engendered by blind self-absorption, unwarranted and? un- deserved and selfish desire for fan- fare and claptrap and spread-eagle show, could shrivel the body and soul of man’ that he should dishonor bis race, forsake it at a critical hour, and desert his country In its peril? . * Those who did not partlelpate in the great War Savings Campaign pa- rade of las} Wednesday .are seeking the undimmed infamy of traitors and sples. They will be remembered. When the Integrity and existence of this United States are at stake, seri- ously at stake, it takes the meanest little human shrimp to interpose his little personality in the way of the fn’ terests of victory over the nation’s foes. There is no penalty to fit his crime. No value of his, not even extermination of the personality of itself, can atone for his crime. : It is a wonder Creation contemplated these” misanthropes, provided for these monstrosites in the scheme and scale of things. As we7do not see the pur- pose of some things-in the content of creation, we likewise also do not sce the Divine purpose in these, animal culae, except it be to tempt the souls and try the honor of men,” God spare us even the thought of human depths so low as to pass the span. of honor, beneath the measure of patriotism ang love and loyalty to race and nation! God spate the Negro people. while now on the highway of real pro- gress and qdvancement, such guides as this, who see themselves mirrored every where and who cannot support and defend the gtod thought and plan of other men! * 2 ‘Men of this stripe are passing rap- Idty, Soon, fortunately, we shall see no more of them and then we‘sball go forward hy leaps and bounds. The honor and respect of the people hase too long been bartered away by these strange creatures of other days, Bren, the people of other races are beginning to see through the deceir and camou- flaze and self-secking of these men who have called themselves “big” men; these men who according to thém- selves are always being sought out by the really, great men, and who “give it out” to the newspapers. The parade was a silencer for dis- loyalists to race and nation. It put a very discomforting thought into the heads of those who undertook ta de- tract and into the minds, if any they had, of those who are controlled by those who have the “yaller” streak, ‘The parade was so big anil so good that it became a fixed event and a milestone in the annals of our great city. : ee ae Eighty thousand Savannahians have Pronounced it, the greatest parade in our history, ahd itd details not to be ‘Smproved upon. Every citizen of this elty, from the Mayor down has handed the palm to the Negroes of Savannah for having staged the most uniform, the most or- derly, the best arranged and the larg- est exhibition of its kind of all time. ‘This magnifies the crime and min}- mizes the character of the ‘deserter.” There would be no notice taken of any. individual who defected, except for the awful influence of such auto- nomists and despots on their pitiful subjects. Fot instance, every teacher and every pupil of the Ga. State College had a sincere longing to be in the pa- rade to attest his loyalty ‘to his race and his fealty to the great covernment of the United States. ‘They were only missed by thelr friends and those who sympathized with their unfortunate Jot, in the vast throng of surging hu- manity which filled the streets and squares with one grand riot of beauti- ful colors and joyous, happy patriots. _ It is a pity that so many good meri nq women and so many children of possibility are the slaves‘ of such ar- bitrary despotism.-such unwarranted selfishness and egotism and *, as that which kept the colleze people from taking part. It would seem that both colored and white people live had enongh of suct. whimsical and impulsive administra- tion of the Interests of Negro education as such a situation and conditign in- dicates This condition of. affairs should be remedied. If the men under oppression haven't the -courage and faith in the trlumph of right which would make them appeal to the Com- mission on thé College, they should have helped from the outside. ‘Tyranny, nepotism, brow-beating and terrorizing should go, forever from amongst us. . We belleve we see the beginning of the end of ft in Wednesday's colossal exhibition of Negro power and untty and national spirit. We believe the spirit of such reprehensible method {s tottering and that its death knell is ‘sounded. - We believe that right will assert it- self and that relief will come to the oppressed of such systems and instl- tutions. Weyare pulling and praying tor it. : ‘The credit and glory of the great showing of last Wednesday goes to the twenty-thousand loyal “patriots who participated and whose individual efforts made the brilliant spectacle possible. Every individual, to the smallest child, shall share the honor because it is rightfully his, and each should feel happy that the overshelm- ing success of ‘the occasion was partly due to his contribution and co-opera- tion.
