The Forum

THE FORUM FRANK O. LOWDEN OF OREGON NEXT GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS VOL.12 - NO.31 FRA NEXT THE GENERATOR "The 'yeas' have it and the motion is adopted." The reserve generator is a "go." We shall indulge in the hope that the right has prevailed and all are better off, even the Utilities Co., along with the City Hall and the rest. But above all else, let have peace. Let the Utilities Co. and Mr. Spaulding both, come in and "sup" together. Persecute each other no longer; build up a larger and better city; light "her" np so that she will shine like the noon day sun, even her alleys, and do it so cheap that not even the way side man need be in darkness; do this and the gods shall come down and bless you—you and posterity forever—Amen. PLEASANT GROVE As this year is about to close its history of events, and the dawn of another year will soon be on the scene, we are zealously striving to advance to, "A Higher plane than we have found" in our past days. Our Sunday School Register stood Sunday as follow: Attendance 86, last sabbath 90; a year ago the attendance was 83. Offering was $3.66; last Sunday, $4.00. This date last year, was $2.23. Among the teachers and workmen of our Sunday School, a number of them are young men and women who are rendering excellent service and due much credit. The teachers meeting is held each Sunday afteruoon and for a result that thier students in charge may drink from a running stream, --- Historical Society State House and not a stagnant pond, for "They who run must read." The church service began at 11 o'clock with high spirit. Rev. Chappelle's text was: "Escape for your life, look not behind you; neither stay thou in all the plains." He delivered an able and spiritual sermon. A program is being arranged for Thanksgiving to entertain the visitors and friends of the city. A number of good things are in store. Tickets are on sale by Mrs. Chappelle, Misses Hazel Reddick, Laura Walker. Ella Bradley and others. Admission 10 cents. MORTUARY Died, in Joliet, Ill., October 9th, George Edwards, husband of Octavia Edwards. Mr Edwards expressed peace with God, and assurance of a happy Hereafter, in his last moments of life, and this affords consolation to his bereaved and grief-stricken relatives. The remains were taken to Georgeton, Kentucky, for burial, and were accompanied by his wife, Mrs Octavia Edwards, and sister, Mrs Lizzie Johnson, of Georgeton, Ky. Mr and Mrs Edwards formerly resided here, and have a host of friends and acquaintances who extend sympathy to Mrs Edwards, in this great bereavement. Mr Bert Stewart, 802 E. Washington St., has been ill for the past week. SPRINGFIELD, ILL., SATURDAY NOVEMBER 11, 1916 "Be Ye Doers and not Savers only." INGFIELD, ILL., SATURDAY NOVEMBER 14, 1933 LINOIS The B. Y. P. U. is adding on new life. Miss Callie Thomas is its president. It is growing out of the people's minds that this department is only for young people, but this Union is a place for old as well as young, for it is "Like a tree planted by the Rivers of waters." The service Sunday night was that of "an old camp meeting." The Christians were given opportunity to speak on their christian experience. As we were entering a battle to dethrone Satan of his stronghold, each christian seemingly was in touch with God, and praying that more laborers may be sent into the Vineyard. An old-fashioned "Country Social" will be given at the residence of Mr and Mrs J. B. Osby, Thursday, Nov. 16, 1916. Ladies, bring your boxes, and help in the fun. Gentlemen, come prepared to buy the prettiest box. Get out your blue-backed speller, review your "six syllables" and get in that spelling match. The proceeds will go to the New Hope Mission Band. Messrs. Barksdale and Curtis, these two young men, are sure cutting and shaving, at 11th and Washington. Yes, young men; you fellows try to get old too quickly. Men are but grownup boys. Moses was 80 when he started thru the wilderness, with the child ren of Israel, and was fooling around, looking for the Promised Land, for 40 years, dying when 120 years old.

A wave of homicide seems to be weeping over Springfield, and the latest victim is Mrs Alice Davis an aged woman, who resided a 25 N. Tenth St. The body was discovered by Alice Hay, a young woman who helped Mrs Davis, about 8 o'clock Sunday morning Her head was badly crushed, and a bloodstained axe was lying neat bed on which the body lay. Police investigation revealed that a "beer party" had been held at the house the night before, and the members were arrested on the grounds that they knew the murderer. Those arrested were: Alice Hay, Katie Patterson, Ruth Smith, Louis McCloud, Henry Murray, G. Walker. The police are working on the theory that robbery was the motive, as the woman was known to keep large sums of money in her possession. For years the woman had allowed loose moral condition to exist around her place, police say. Mr J. Chaney, of Decatur, was in the city this week, on business. CLARENCE CAMERON WHITE Among the best violinists, the colored race has produced, Mr White will appear here, Nov. 24, under the auspices of the N.A.A.C. P., local branch. This young artist has traveled extensively, both in America and in Europe, and has studied with the contemporary masters. He is considered the best of his race, by many, and always pleases all lovers of good music, faultlessly rendered.

It is said that Fred Robins, who runs a "pig ankle joint", on Chicago St., (lunch room, 2 x 4), now advises colored people to go to the rear, if they are to be served. Dont Do it — start a lunch-room in the rear of a barbershop before doing so. The colored people' in Lincoln, are a high class people, and treat their privileges kindly. They treated Robins well—Die, or starve, before submitting to all of the indignities offered by these curs and ingrates, O my sable brothers! ELECTION RETURNS AT LEE'S. Mr C. C. Lee, 811 E. Washington St., a business man, and a patriotic, public-spirited republican, surprised and gratified his many patrons, and friends, on Tuesday ever (election day), by arranging with the Associated Press wires to have the returns received and called off in his place. The work was accomplished promptly and efficiently. The receiving operator copied the message on the typewriter, and a courier carried them back to the rear where they were read, aloud, from an elevated platform, amidst great acclamation; a bla ckboard was also used. A large crowd gathered, and stayed until 2 a.m. Wed. Considering the occasion, the conduct of the assemblage was excellent. There was no disorder. The announcers, and assistants, were: Atty. C. S. Gibbs, Maj. O. B, Duncan, Health Inspector, G. H. L. Nelson, and Robert Singleton. On behalf of those present, we assure Mr Lee that each and every one desires, singly and severally, to extend to him his, and their, most profound gratitude and appreciation. It showed thoughtfulness, business acumen, and reciprocity. Long may you live, and may the people, enmasse, ever remember the rare treat. We hope to be with you on a similar occasion, A. D. 1920. Meet me at the recital, Nov. 24. THE ELECTION MANY SURPRISES STARE THE NATION IN THE FACE The election of Lowden and the entire republican state ticket in Illinois, looks good to the G.O. Illinois--we are proud of Illinois, you can't fool the people of this state with things which appear to be, but are not, sing Illinois, Illinois. She's all right. 200,000 strong—Cook county is again Republican. Sangamon Co. had a clean sweep; there will not be a democrat in the Court House after Dec. 1st. Farewell boys, this is the fate of the gods. The 21st Congressional District, sends Wheeler back to Washington and Lyon and Frisch to the State House. In fact a "land slide." We simply met the enemy and devoured them, unmasticated. W. T. Scott, who has been at the hospital, has been removed to his home. PRICE: FIVE CENTS WILSON LEADS ON FACE OF RETURNS According to the inofficial returns from all the States, up to Friday, Nov. 10th, with Minnesota, California, New Hampshire and North Dakota, in doubt, President Wilson, the vacillating wishy washy man from Princeton College, leads with 269 electoral votes, Hughes, 247, with still a chance to win the necessary majority. The people in the West appear to be deceived by the abnormal condition of the country and the high price received for farm products, and the, "He kept us out of war"—but if Wilson is re-elected, you will see what we hope not see—a great re-action, maybe chaos—but if he kept us out of war, let us see if he will keep us out. The Senate is Democratic, but the returns say the House is Re publican, and if so, the country is partly safe. Thomas Taggart, of Indiana, was defeated, but several Senators slipped in from the west. RECITAL AT MASONIC HALL At last we shall soon be presented with something rich and rare in the way of intellectual refreshment, at Masonic Hall, Friday evening, Nov. 17, by Misses Johnnette Clanton and Miss Made Roberts of Chicago. These young ladies come highly recommended and have the value of some extensive experience. The vocal and musical numbers are some of the most classic and reknown. Those of you who like music of the high class, don't miss it. Miss Clanton is a sister of Attorney B. G. Clanton and the daughter of Dr. S. T. Clanton. The Clantons are noted for their intuitive ability and Miss Johnnette is no exception to the rule. Miss Roberts comes highly recommended and formerly a teacher at Walden University and is a classic student. Let us pack the house, show the young ladies how we appreciate things of this sort. The Hall will be decorated, well heated and well arranged for the occasion. Miss Clanton will arrange to have delicacies of the season, and will treat all who desire by having a dance after the program, at which time those who don't care to dance, may go home or socialize and be sumptuously served with refreshments. This will be the first time, for years, that such a thing has been given, where the most fastidious wont be offended and young people who do not feel it proper to attend the ordinary dances, may attend this recital and dance without any fear of being excoriated. Music for dance by orchestra. A Musical and recital at Masonic hall, Friday, Nov. 17, by two young ladies: Misses Clanton and Roberts, of Chicago, formerly school teachers in the South. After the rendition of the program Nov. 17th, at Masonic hall, Nix's orchestra will furnish music for the occasion. You have longed for a first class dance; come to Masonic hall Nov. 17th, Nix's orchestra. Mrs. Sarah Miller, who has been here since the death of her mother, Mrs. Lu inda Johnson, stopping with Mrs. Emma Singleton, 1212 So. 14th St., left this week for her home, North Dakota, via Chicago and St. Paul. Mr. Roy Richmond, 14th and Brown Streets, who has been ill for some time, is not much improved, but is resting as well as can be expected. The Willing Workers Sewing Circle met this week with Mrs. Nora Rore 911 N. 13th St. Entered as second-class mail matter Feb 24, 1904, at the post office at Springfield, Ill., under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879. A BUSINESS MAN Mr. Calahan, advertising manager and salesman for Myers Bros. is a man of great value to the enterprise, because, to some extent, he has become, an indispensable asset. His work is advertising business, but he does not sit idly by and say, "I am not hired for this or that." When he is in the store, he acts as salesman or does any thing that comes "within his reach that will enhance the success of the business. He should be emulated by many of you who are afraid you will do some not actually prescribed as "your work." By the way, so much has been said, and truly, of the high or increased cost of living, that little or nothing has been said or done about the increased cost of dying. It cost more to die and to dye, now, than ever before—stop the infernal business altogether and that will decrease the cost of living for the "live ones." You will not find "The Forum" in the telephone register, but the Regal Printing Co. The Forum's telephone number is, Main, 5729, same as Regal Printing Co. You should have respect enough for your teacher and "almer matter," as well as the dear old language, not to say; "I have not saw him," or, I seen him when he done it." Don't persecute the King's most precious tongue. This language has stood the wear and tear of centuries. THE ERA OF CONSTRUCTION We are concerned not so much with the past as with the present and the future; we are interested, not so much in criticism as in construction. The task at hand and the work before us are big enough to engage our best thought and all our thought. We must build for tomorrow and our plan must be as wide as the horizon now opening before us. A new world is being born. Just as the Napoleonic wars destroyed an outworn political dispensation, so the present conflict is ending an old economic system. In this new day, and amidst these changed conditions, there must be a new America. Let us be thankful and glad that we are privileged to lay its foundations. This work means, first of all, a broader, deeper and stronger nationalism. The philosophy of localism is dead. The practice of it must no longer interfere with the unity of the Republic. National law and national authority must deal with all things that help or hurt the entire people. EXCLUSIVE NATIONAL SUPERVISION OF RAILWAYS Our railways in their management and service, are national. They are highways of the Republic as a whole. The well-being of the entire American people depend upon the common prosperity of the Nation. Yet American railways, unlike those of every other country, are under control of forty-eight local sovereignties, as well as that of the general government. Hundreds of conflicting state regulations and an army of state officials complicate their operation. The plain remedy is to place the railways of the Nation under the exclusive control of the national government. That, the national government should have the exclusive supervision and regulation of the railroads, and not the sovereign states. They are vital to national defense. It is useless to train men unless they can be transported quickly and in immense numbers. In the confusion caused by our multiple and discordant control of the railways, we could not promptly transport so small an army as half a million men. Under national control American railways could be co-ordinated and systematized. This is only a logical step in the practical development of that nationalism required by the needs of the people. A. J. BEVERDGE THE MOB AGAIN A few days ago, reports came from Ashville, S. C., to the effect that one, Anthony Crawford, a wealthy colored farmer had been murdered. What for? "Beeause he defended himself," against the brutal assault of another man, "white?" His 5 sons, also, must leave the community; leave their home. Their father owned 500 acres of South Carolina's best soil. The mob started out to disturb and maltreat all Negroes, but the "good citizens," God bless them, we did not know there were any in the Palmeto State, dissuaded the mob from going so far—but, however, all colored businesses for a day, were closed and the owners went home to appease the blood-thirsty mob. They were wrought-up because they had killed Mr. Crawford—for naught that he had done wrongfully. How cruel and how mean, art these bloody butchers! Why do they do these things Lord God of host, we pray thee, tell us? They are in the majority in finance, in intellect, and they are said to be the models in morality and Christianity. What shall we say that will be efficacious? Why call them brutes, out-laws and murderers—have they not been so designated many times? All of the' worst names in the dictionary of criminology have been used and correctly applied to these insideous devils, already—the blood stains are on their 4th and 5th generations now, and this blood shall not alone atone these unspeakable crimes. You can't call them christians, patriots or heroes—woe be unto them—have mercy on them-- but that is, we think, irrelevant—mercy for what? "What private griefs they have, alas, we know not, that made them do it." But alas! They did it and the end is not yet. Think of it; these boys forced to leave their native soil; their kith and kin; the sacred heritage for which their dear mother and honored father, strove as it were, in the morning, noon day and even bathed their brows with tears in the midnight. Yea, gave the last full measure of devotion, that these, their off spring, might sit, read and think under the shadow of their own shade trees, calm and serene and in tranquility. But the fate of the gods is against us. Ordered to leave, from thence whither, they saith not—leave the shrine of the fathers—leave the lone grave of a mother who peradventure, is still more comfortless. But let us part from this. What shall we do to solace this pent-up race of ours? Pray to God, the Omnipotent, for succor? I think no. But, however it is written: "The prayers of the righteous availeth much." No harm to try with faith, though. On shall we instruct you to fight, like Gideon, Joshun, David, Napoleon, Grant and Toussant L. Overture? Yes, fight, fight, fight. Never surrender. Truth shall not fail—right is immutable. Mrs C. Robinson. 1612 E. Jack. son St., entertained a number of young people, Wednesday evening, n honor of her son, Dewey White, of Seattle, Washington. Mr Frank H. Hart, 1713 E. Stuart St., left for Hannibal, Mo., on business for The Home Protective Association, Wednesday. BASIC CONTROL OF GOVERNMENT Manning Explains Meaning of Federal Constitution. EQUALITY OF CITIZENSHIP Wise Provision of the Founders For the Protection of All the People Alike Has Not Been Compiled With—Disfranchisement Is Form of Political Slavery. The government of the United States sprang into being because of the absolute necessity of the banding together of the inhabitants of the American colonies in upholding certain incontestable rights. Among these were the right of government by the consent of the governed and the right to voice in representation where taxation is imposed. The basic control of the government of the United States is the constitution of the United States. This document was instituted "in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, etc., says the Hon. Joseph C. Manning of Alabama. The founders of the government in order to secure a more perfect organization than could have otherwise been secured made certain compromises on the slavery question, but finally the constitution of the United States was so perfected by amendments as to embrace all its citizens within the folds of its guarantee. "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted shall exist within the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction." The amendments to the constitution furthermore defined United States citizenship and set forth the nationality of the United States citizen by the declaration that "all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside." To make the right of United States citizenship emphatic and secure the constitution further set forth that "no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States." With the object in view of protecting the ballot rights of all its citizens the constitution asserted this declaration: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." Those who vote in the United States as well as those who are inducted into office take solemn oath to uphold the constitution of the United States. Every citizen in the United States is obligated and sworn to support and maintain the principles of the constitution in its letter and in its spirit. None are expected to deny to others rights which they may justly demand for themselves. The ideal of this government of ours is that it is "a government of the people, by the people and for the people." "The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities' of citizens in the several states." The constitution of the United States put upon the nation the expressed obligation furthermore that "the United States shall guarantee to every state in this Union a republican form of government." It was the aim of the constitution of the United States that constitutional liberty and constitutional rights should remain inviolate to every citizen in every state. That every state government should and must comply with the fundamental principles enunciated therein is too plainly set forth in the constitution of the United States to require any discussion. It is difficult of comprehension, therefore, that in a government of such lofty conception there has been perpetrated by partisan political maneuvering gross contravention of the ballot rights of the United States citizens in at least ten states of the Union. The extent to which this aggression has gone will be looked upon as something astounding by those who give this subject due consideration. It is almost enigmatic that public sentiment in this nation is not alive to the open and fragrant conflict with the fundamental rights of the people which exists in the southern states. Infringement upon the liberties of the people of the south has grown to such startling proportion through the general unconcern on the part of the people of the entire country that this condition has become not only the problem of the people of these states, who as citizens of these states are so directly involved, but one of vital moment to all the people of the nation. Chattel slavery was abolished as inconsistent with the principles of out free government. The republic could not continue half slave and half free. Disfranchisement in the south, a form of political slavery, equally as obnoxious and entirely out of conformity with the letter and spirit of the constitution of the United States, will as assuredly be finally overthrown. Organization Society to Meet Nov. 8. The annual meeting of the Organization Society of Virginia will be held at Roanoke, Va., for three days, beginning on Wednesday, Nov. 8. Arrangements for the meeting are being perfected by a local committee. Every organization in the state was requested to send at least one delegate. INFLUENCE OF NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE Indications of Race Solidarity Seen In Support Given Militant Body, The good influence of the annual meeting of the National Equal Rights league, recently held in Washington, is being rapidly felt throughout the country. In several cities in different sections branch leagues are being organized to promote the work of the national body, which has so indelibly impressed itself on the mind of so many of our people who have at last seen that the race can only do its best work through well organized effort. At a meeting held in Brooklyn the latter part of October by a group of prominent citizens it was decided to organize a branch league and adopt the policy and program of the National league for racial advancement in all matters of public movement, especially to war against discrimination on account of race or color in places or convenues for the public. This Brooklyn meeting was presided over by M. S. C. Lawton, president of the Empire State Federation of Women's clubs, and the only woman of the race employed as a contributor to a daily paper in Greater New York. John H. Dickerson, a prominent member of the Society of the Sons of North Carolina, was secretary of the meeting, and N. B. Dodson, president of the Society of the Sons of Virginia, agreed to furnish the proposed branch with the plans of the main organization. Hon. George E. Wilbecan delivered a most timely address at the meeting, in the course of which he said that William Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, had received a national vindication from the charge made by some that Mr. Trotter injured the race in some respects by his attitude or remarks at what is now popularly known as the Trotter-Wilson episode of November, 1914. The officers of the National Equal Rights league for 1916-17 are the following: Rev. Byron Gunner, New York, president; vice presidents, Rev. R. C. Ransom, New Jersey; William D. Brigham, Massachusetts; Rev. Harvey Johnson, Maryland; Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Illinois; Rev. C. H. Stephan, District of Columbia; Rev. M. F. Sydes, Rhode Island; Rev. W. Spencer Carpenter, Pennsylvania; Rev. John Barnett, Virginia; William S. L. Adams, Illinois; Bishop I. N. Rose, Rev. W. C. Brown; recording secretary, James L. Nell; District of Columbia; assistant recording secretary, William Warley, Kentucky; corresponding secretary, William Monroe Trotter, Massachusetts; assistant corresponding secretary; Maurice W. Spencer, Delaware; treasurer, Thomas Walker, District of Columbia; financial secretary, Dr. William A. Shinclair, Pennsylvania; assistant financial secretary, A. F. Wallace, District of Columbia; chaplain, Rev. O. E. Dennison, Massachusetts; national organizer, Rev. J. E. Churchman, New Jersey; assistant national organizer, Rev. Arthur Randall, Maryland, M. W. Spencer was elected chairman of the national executive committee. VALLEY REST ENLARGED. Urban League Provides For Male Patients at Convalescent Home. Valley Rest Convalescent Home, located at White Plains, N. Y., has now a fully equipped department for male patients. Accommodations have already been provided for six men. Up to Oct. 25, as in the case of women patients, admission to the institution will be granted through the Urban league in New York city upon recommendation from a hospital, a physician or a registered nurse, followed by a certificate of admission from the city examining physician who examines each patient at the Urban league's office, 2303 Seventh avenue, New York. No person suffering with a communicable disease will be admitted. The boys' department at Sunny Brae under the management of the Burke foundation, is now receiving colored boys for convalescent care. The Urban league is in a position to secure the admission of any boy who is in need of care during convalescence. The league is also co-operating with the Association For the Prevention and Relief of Heart Disease in an effort to get cases among our people included in their work. The association will gather data about cardiac, study and develop occupations and vocational guidance, assist in the establishment of more cardiac classes, organize cardiac convalescence, work for the prevention of the disease and seek for cooperation and publicity in regard to the work being done for cardiac. Citizens of Durham Show Race Prides At a meeting recently held in Durham, N. C., in the interest of raising funds to assist in paying off the mortgage on the old homestead of Frederick Douglass at Anacosta, Washington, $40 was raised. The importance of the movement to preserve the property as a monument to the late orator, abolitionist and statesman was represented by Judge Robert H. Terrell of Washington, who delivered an interesting speech. The National Association of Colored Women's Clubs is also taking a leading part in the movement to rid the Douglass home of debt. Rosenwald Gives $25,000 to New School. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago has given $25,000 toward the erection of an industrial school building near Independence, Mo. The plot on which the new schoolhouse is to be erected consists of sixteen acres. Francis E. Parker is architect. The promoters of the new institution hope to make it a big center of industrial and educational uplift for the people of that section of Missouri and adjacent states. Illinois D Illinois Dairy Co. F.

Honor Graduate of the Institute of Musical Art, New York, and One of the Directors of Martin-Smith School of Music. Engaged to R. Nathaniel Dett, Director of Vocal Music at the Hampton (Va.) Institute. A Hampton, Va.-The engagement is announced here of R. Nathaniel Dett, director of the Hampton Choral union and director of vocal music at Hampton institute, and Miss Helen Elise Smith, pianist, of New York. Miss Smith is one of the directors of the Martin-Smith School of Music in New York. She holds two diplomas from the Institute of Music Art, of which Walter Damrosch is the director. Miss Smith has appeared with David Mannes and other leading artists. Last May she was one of the five artists presented in the Hampton institute musical festival. She also has the distinction of being the original pianist of the Music Settlement School For Colored People in New York. The genius, being creative, is sufficient unto himself, but the artist is a happy composition of native ability and superior training. Miss Helen Elise Smith is an artist. As a little child she evinced a remarkable aptitude for music and at eleven was regarded a very promising piano student. When her musical education had got beyond the ordinary instructor she easily passed the very rigid entrance requirements for the Institute of Musical Art of New York and after studying there for seven years graduated with honor. Siglsmund Stojowski, the favorite pupil of Paderewski, was her piano teacher, and her instructors in harmony, theory and composition are recognized authorities in their particular lines. Mr. H. E. Krehbiel, formerly music critic for the New York Tribune, and other well known critics have emphatically expressed their appreciation of her interpretation of difficult compositions. Mr. Dett is a graduate of Oberlin conservatory. He is not only a young pianist who possesses unusual technical ability, but he is also a promising composer, whose work has already commanded the attention and praise of the musical world on account of its originality, its finish and its heart appeal. Some of Mr. Dett's best known work includes "Magnolia Suite." "In the Bottoms," "Hampton, My Home by the Sea," "Listen to the Lambs," etc. OHIO BARS PHOTO PLAY. State Supreme Court Decides Against "Birth of a Nation." Columbus, O.-The Ohio supreme court recently upheld the state movie censors in rejecting "The Birth of a Nation" film from the state. The court dismissed the appeal of the Epoch Producing company, producers of the film, on the ground that the Ohio statutes do not provide any manner or method for bringing into the record the censored film. It will be remembered that the successful fight against this photoplay and the other one, "The Nigger," was led early in 1915 by the Hon. Harry C. Smith of Cleveland, editor of the Gazette and father of Ohio's civil rights and anti-lynching laws, which be introduced when a member of the Ohio legislation in 1894 and 1896, respectively. The Booker T. Washington Association. At the recent meeting of the colored employees of the Curtis Publishing company, composing the Booker T. Washington association, in Philadelphia, S. A. Inzier was chosen president. The organization has existed as a temporary body since February. It is now permanently formed and starts out with a membership of sixty-five. Through the influence of the association the employees of other concerns in Philadelphia will unite more closely for mutual association and help in securing better positions and larger wages in the many industrial enterprises both in and out of Philadelphia. In fact, the Booker T. Washington association will act as a clearing house for the race in Philadelphia along industrial lines. Star Pays Tribute to W. P. Graves. The Newport News (Va.) Star in a recent issue pays a fine tribute to the late W. P. Graves, public school teacher and contributor to the Star at Suffolk, Va. The Star emphasizes the fact that Mr. Graves was loyal, prompt and truthful in his business transactions and was the direct cause of much of the Star's success in Suffolk. GRAVE PROBLEMS CONFRONT SOUTH NEED OF LAW ENFORCEMENT Editorial In New Orleans Times-Picayune Evokes Able Comment on the Situation by W. Scott Chinn—Emigration of Colored People to the North and West is Approved. Plaquemine, La.—The great exodus of colored people from the south to the north and west is evoking serious comment in all sections. The following by W. Scott Chinn of this place, which appeared recently in the Picayune, sums up the cause of this leavetaking of the colored people of the south in a nutshell. The situation is serious, and it requires a right about face action on the part of the south to change the growing condition of unrest which now pervades the ranks of the working classes in its midst. "Your editorial of Sept. 19 entitled 'Negro Emigration to the North' is about the sanest and most logical view of the situation presented lately, and it's high time for our good white friends of the south to quit playing and 'act' rather than 'talk' about what the south stands for as relates to the Negro. "As far as climatic conditions, location, etc., the south is the natural home of the Negro, but I blush and hang my head with shame when I think of other essential conditions—namely: Social welfare, where absolutely no protection is given to the women of my race, and our young girls still remain the prey of evil white and black men, the Mann act not affecting them at all." "Educationally, it is 'nil,' for in many counties and parishes there is not a public school for colored people, and if so it is for a few days or months and often taught by those less prepared than their pupils, although in many instances Negroes pay all kinds of taxes, even school taxes, which must help to educate white children, while their own grow up in ignorance. "Economic conditions need not be mentioned, for the south has waxed and grown'fat on the work of the colored laborer, for every cent paid him has simply flown back into the white man's pocket, whereas that paid other nations has flown abroad, and to stay. Inhuman treatment of the Negro simply means the killing of the goose that lays the golden eggs. "Why should lynching continue for a moment? White men both make and execute the laws, thus putting us at their complete mercy in every way, so that legally any crime can be punished within an hour after its committal. "The utter disregard of these things upon the part of the south is responsible for the migration, not the lure of better homes and other things alone, but longing for that peace and privilege to rest contented and happy within the place called home. "The Negro loves the south and his southern white friends, but I am afraid she only loves him as he serves her selfish ends. Boast as we may, it still appears as if the south harbors ill will toward us, for at every opportunity harrowing tales are told of our faults and shortcomings, real or imaginary, while our worthy deeds seldom see the light of day. There is too much living in the past' as relates to us—days of reconstruction and Negro domination—when the white man is now in full possession from start to finish. Why not play fair and tell the truth? "Booker T. Washington, with all of his apparent indifference, knew full well that the south did not practice the Golden Rule in its treatment of us, and on no proposed tour did he ever sanction or agree to travel until he had been assured that his presence would meet the approval of the whites. Why? The answer is with you. "Publish it far and near, as you well point out, that unless the conditions be improved in those sections where they are dissatisfied the exodus will continue, and it will unless the white Christian men and women of our fair southland rise and with undaunted faith in God, who leadeth aright, come forth and correct these evils. The die is cast, and that 'formidable competition' of which you speak will prove the undoing of a land rich in many possibilities and once again set back the hour hand of time on the clock of progress. "The Negro must be allowed to work with and not merely for the white man, to be at least kicked and treated even worse than when a slave. It's high noon, the clock has struck, and the European war is yet destined to settle many other problems equally as grave. A new program is on, and the new south must keep pace with it or suffer. A grateful people thank you for that noble editorial." Ministers' Alliance For Prohibition. The Ministers' alliance of Kansas City is making a determined fight against the saloons of that city. Members of the organization have started a state wide campaign in behalf of prohibition as a result of not getting any co-operation from the local authorities in their efforts to have the law relating to the liquor traffic enforced, so it is reported. REV. GEORGE H. SIMS, D. D. President of the New York Baptist State Convention, Under Whose Administration the Organization Has Enjoyed Peace and Prosperity For the Past Three Years—Pastor of Union Baptist Church. A. B. New York.-The twenty-first annual meeting of the New York state colored Baptist convention, held at the Baptist temple in this city from Tuesday, Oct. 24, to Friday, Oct. 27, inclusive, was largely attended. The first two days were devoted to the work of the woman's auxiliary to the convention, whose president is Mrs. G. Richardson. Delegates were present from churches throughout Greater New York and many from cities and towns in the various sections of the state. The Sunday schools and young people's unious were represented by W. H. Johnson, president of the state Sunday school convention. The reports from the various church bodies represented in the convention showed that a splendid work had been done during the year to increase the membership and to raise money for home and foreign missions, education and the support of local community interests. The auxiliary presented to the general convention the sum of $100, and the Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. department donated the sum of $75. The auxiliary held three sessions each day, which were crowded with work and filled with interest. The general convention convened on Thursday, Oct. 26, at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon with the president, Rev. Dr. G. H. Sims, pastor of the Union Baptist church, presiding. After the devotional exercises were concluded the president appointed the various committees and then delivered his annual address, in which he gave a brief account of the convention's achievements. There were several special sermons and addresses delivered on the subjects of education, Baptist doctrine, missions and appeals for funds to meet the needs of the missionaries on the foreign field. This latter subject was discussed by Miss Taylor, who has just recently returned from her post of duty in Africa, and by Dr. L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary of the national Baptist foreign mission board, in Philadelphia. Among the ministers and educators from out of town were the Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, L.L. D. of Washington, who is the president of the New England Baptist missionary convention; the Rev. Dr. J. C. Austin, pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist church, Pittsburgh, who preached one of the most instructive sermons delivered to the convention; Dr. R. C. Woods, president of the Virginia seminary and college at Lynchburg, Va.; Dr. W. J. Winston of Baltimore, Dr. W. B. Reed of Hartford, Conn., and other well known men and women. The Rev. Dr. Sims was re-elected president of the convention. Under his administration for the past three years the organization has enjoyed great peace and prosperity. Much credit is due the Rev. M. B. Hucless, pastor of the Baptist temple, for the able manner in which he and the members of the temple entertained the delegates and visitors. The receipts on the closing night of the convention amounted to over $800. MEMORIAL FUND LEADERS. New Jersey's Big Effort to Perpetuate Dr. Washington's Memory. There is to be no let up by members of the race in the matter of raising funds for the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute as a memorial to its founder and its principal until his death on Nov. 14, 1915. The colored people of the country are well organized into memorial fund committees in nearly all of the large cities, and in the rural districts there are leaders appointed to look after the work and report to Emmett J. Scott, secretary at the Tuskegee institute. The New Jersey committee set its mark at $10,060, the sum it is endeavoring to raise by popular subscription. The committee is composed of the following well known professional and business men: Dr. George E. Cannon, president; 354. Pacific avenue, Jersey City; Dr. W. G. Alexander, vice president, 14 Webster place, Orange, N. J.; John S. Pinkman, treasurer, 42 Plane street, Newark, N. J., and W. P. Burrell, executive secretary, 22 Jones street, East Orange, N. J. Under the leadership of these men the work is kept steadily before the people. VIEWS OF WOMEN ON THE FRANCHISE Northwestern Federation Makes Plea For the Ballot. STANDS FOR EQUAL RIGHTS Organization Headed by Mrs. Joanna Snowden Porter Conducts Enthusiastic Campaign With Votes For Women as Paramount Issue -Platform Calls For Effective Legislation. By MINNIE M. SCOTT. Chicago.—The Northwestern Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, Mrs. J. Snowden Porter, president, has done a noteworthy service in its work to secure the ballot for women. In the campaign just closed the federation adopted and used the following as its platform and plea for fair play: A group of Illinois women, encouraged as they were by the hope of this new emancipation offered to them by their state and realizing the opportunities afforded them in their work of social service through the ballot, are cooperating with their sister workers having the same or partial rights in their effort to make national suffrage a fact, thereby giving to all women the power to use the ballot for the purpose of securing such legislation as will promote the advancement of all citizens of all sections of this country. "Deeds, not words," is a motto much believed in by this group of earnest women, and they set about the work of organizing women of the "old northwest" and the "new northwest" with these ideas in mind at their first annual meeting, held at Wichita, Kan. adopted as their platform of principles, among other planks, a recommendation for a national child labor law and one for universal suffrage, asking the national parties, which intended to make their appeal to the voting contingency for support, to incorporate these principles or their substance in their 1916 platforms. This organization has been carefully watching the situation since that time and analyzing the pledges of the parties and their nominees, especially those of the Democratic and Republican parties, Woodrow Wilson and Charles Evans Hughes. The paramount issue, so far as women are concerned, is universal suffrage, for it will be through this source only that we can hope for such legislation as we have continually asked for, which will bring to us all the other progressive measures along social and economic lines and assure to the home and the community the security and welfare of the people. Universal suffrage will make the child labor law secure. We have worked for, hoped for it a long time. Therefore we want to stand by our own platform and urge all women to cooperate with the "vote for women" movement. Such laws we have also looked forward to as a protection to our children and future men and women and a safeguard to the health and happiness of the breadwinner, but when we analyze this legislation carefully, given us in the eleventh hour, presumably for political purposes, we find little of merit in the giver. America is again in travail, the result of which we are hoping and praying will give birth to national woman suffrage, that new emancipation toward which women have been working and hoping for more than forty years, hoping and working to free themselves from a bondage of inequality. As at the time of the emancipation of the Negro slave, so it is now in the affairs of the nation. Men's hearts are failing them for fear of what is coming upon the republic, whatever they may say to the contrary. They are seeking everywhere for a solution of the problems which are continually confronting them. Wars and rumors of wars, disasters by land and sea, labor complications, the tariff question, many matters of social and economic interest, are constantly engaging the attention of our wisest and most sober statesmen. They invoke the consideration of congress, and still they are far from solution. Our country was never in a more unsettled condition since its discovery than it is at the present time. Wherever women have been given the franchise, either partial or in full, home and community conditions have been bettered because laws have been made better and more secure. Yet, as "a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump," there must of necessity come a retardation of effect, and we can only hope for universal and steady advancement when all the women in every part of the country shall have the power to express their desire through the ballot. Until then we shall continue to see our country rise and fall, like the ebb and flow of the sea. Four years ago there came to us a new party with a new platform, with new planks, offering us protective child labor laws and woman's suffrage. This party was to woman like the cloud the size of a man's hand. The hope extended then has grown until, like that cloud, it has grown for us to the typical "pillar of fire," leading to the promised day, as our fellow men have extended that franchise. The new planks of 1912 have become the vital issues of the campaign just closed.
