The St. Louis Argus The State Historical Society, JUDGE SHIELDS DENIES INJUNCTION A. A. McLaughlin Will Speak Sunday on "Physical Efficiency." Additional List of Subscribers. Any man who is striving to make his way in life cannot safely neglect the physical side of his make up. For that reason "Physical Efficiency" will be the subject of the address to be delivered to the Men's Meeting next Sunday by Mr. A. A. McLaughlin. For twelve years the speaker has made it his life work to tell men how they should live and his wide experience makes him a fit person to speak upon the topic that is announced. The meeting will be held at Pythian Hall, at 4 p.m. Sunday. Summer Glee Club will furnish music. Dr. John A. Rice's address before the Men's Meeting of last Sunday has brought forth no small comment on the benefit that can be gotten from these meetings. One man was heard to say: "I have told of Dr. Rice's address fifty times this week." Another said: "Such addresses are just what we need." Collections of subscriptions for the new building have already begun in dead earnest. Over a thousand dollars have already been added to the fund. Moore, W. J. 50.00 Miller, A.

Chicago should blush for shame.—From The Chicago Defender. EQUITY AND JUSTICE MUST DE- CIDE THE RIGHTS OF ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS Your attention is being called to the fact of the injustice of the musician union in an effort to force me to take out my instrument recently installed in my place at a cost exceeding $1,500 and replace it with, union musicians to play from 7:00 till 10:00 p. m., or only three hours on the evenings and pay them an enormous salary. The New Movie Theater, being supported solely by Colored people, the manager feels it his duty as a man to reciprocate in every way that he can to evince his appreciation for their support. The unions have contributed nothing for my place and business and they are now demanding of me to employ union help and collect the money from nonunion Colored citizens to pay them. Colored operators can't affiliate with their union and it seems very strange I have spared neither time nor money and pains for the short time I have been located at the New Movie, to give the very best values for the money and those who have supported the place are satisfied. The constitution of the United States guarantees every American citizen the same rights to earn an honest living and the state and municipality should see to this, that he is amply protected while doing so. There would be no better way of the manager of the New Movie to show his appreciation than to stand by those who have stood by him and that is to continue in business in the future as in the past. ```markdown ``` New York.-Special to Argus:—The new Lelia College and Walker's Hair and Beauty Parlor, 108-110 West 136th Street, was thrown open to the public on Sunday, January 2, from early morning until far into night. Over a thousand visitors, many of them from distant parts of the city, came in response to invitations: Those that were present were charmed to see this veritable palace of art and beauty. Many compliments were received by Mme. C. J. Walker upon the acquisition of such magnificent property in the largest metropolis in the United States. This branch is named after Mme. Walker's daughter, Mrs. Lelia Walker Robinson, who will have charge of the business. JONES' FACTION WINS IN COURT Chicago, January 10.—A decision rendered in the courts of Chicago today by Judge Smith, sustained the demurrer of attorneys Walter M. Farmer, of this city, and Wm. Harrison, of Oklahoma City, recognizing the National Baptist Convention of which E. P. Jones, D. D., of Vicksburg, Miss., was elected president. It will be remembered that during the month of September, last year, the Baptists held a convention in this city and divided into two parts over a charter gotten out by seven men. A majority of one hundred fifty or more votes in the convention showed that the strength of the convention was against the charter, whereupon, Dr. Morris and his followers left the chair and the convention immediately elected E. P. Jones and an entirely new set of officers. The incorporated convention, led by Dr. Morris got out an injunction to prevent the Jones people from using the name National Baptist Convention. The case has been hanging fire since. NEGROES WARNED TO LEAVE IN LETTERS Athena, Ga., January 12.—Negroes, land owners and tenants, and white farmers who rent land to Negroes, have in the past few days been generally warned by unknown parties that if Negro families do not move out of an area covered by parts of Clark, Oglethorpe and Oconee in twenty days from yesterday, their houses would be burned and they would suffer other violence. At least six threatening letters, none of them signed, several of them evidently written by the same hand and two of them stating "we mean business," have been turned over to the United States authorities and postoffice inspectors. This is the first time such threats have ever been made in this section. The population of the rural section alluded to is largely Negro.

This is not only a credit to Mr. Banks but it justifies the confidence the voters placed in Judge Holcamp in the fall election of 1914. He has exemplified his broad mindedness, and shows his appreciation of efficiency by recognizing worth without discrimination. SUES U. R.

INITIATIVE CLAUSE IS HELD VALID Decision Does Not Hold Scregation To Be Lawful. Attorneys For N. A. A. C. P. To Appeal Case. In the case of Chas. A. Pitman vs. the Election Commissioners, et al., to enjoin these officials from spending $73,000 of the people's money to hold an election under the proposed initiative law was decided against the plaintiff Wednesday. This case was backed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Mr. Pitman being chairman of the Executive Committee: The case was in the direct charge of Attorneys Homer G. Phillips and Geo. L. Vaughn, who are members of the legal committee. The attorneys for the Association say that their case will be taken to the Supreme Court early next week. Judge Shields handed down a very lengthy opinion in the case. The gist of which is as follows: It will be noted that in the petition in this case, asking that the election be enjoined, that the ordinances referred to in this petition for injunction, generally known as the Segregation Ordinances, are not set out in the petition and that there is no question now before the Court as to the validity or invalidity of said so-called Segregation Ordinances. The sole question before the Court being the invalidity and unconstitutionality of legislation by the City under the initiative sections of the City Charter. In other words, the plaintiff contended that as the initiative provisions of the Charter are unconstitutional and void, the Board of Election Commissioners, and the Comptroller and Treasurer of the City have no right to expend the City's funds for submitting said ordinances to the voters for adoption or rejection, and that any taxpayer who is affected by the expenses by such an election has a right to appeal to the courts for an injunction against the illegal expending of the City's money. I have examined the many authorities cited by both parties on the question of whether or not this Court has any jurisdiction to issue injunction against public officers engaged in the discharge of their duties under the provisions of the Constitution and laws of the State and Charter of the City of St. Louis, and whether a taxpayer can bring a suit for injunction under the circumstances alleged in the petition herein. In the State of Missouri, and in many other jurisdictions, I think it is thoroughly established that the courts will not interfere by injunction to prevent the exercise of the functions of City officials when they are exercising duties relative to political rights as distinguished from rights of property and civil rights. After a careful consideration of all the authorities, I am of the opinion that if the Initiative provision in the Charter is void, the people would have a right to enjoin the expenditure of money to carry out said Initiative provision. The controlling question in this case is whether the Initiative provision of the City charter is valid or void. The attack line is proceeding is not on the Segregation Ordinances, but on the constitutionality of the Initiative provision of the Charter. The Bill of Rights of the State of Missouri provides: "That all political power is vested in and derived from the people; that all government of right originates from the people, is founded upon their will only, and is instituted solely for the good of the whole." The amendment to the State Constitution, as amended by the people at the general election of 1902, giving the City the right to elect a Board of thirteen freeholders to prepare a new Charter, provides: "Which said Charter shall be in harmony with and subject to the Constitution and laws of the State." The Charter adopted by the vote of the people June 30, 1914, Section 1 of Article V, provides: "The people shall have the power at their option to propose ordinances including 'ordinances proposing amendments to this Charter, and to adopt the same at the polls, with the same effect as if adopted by the Board of Aldermen and approved by the Mayor, such power being known as the Initiative power." There is no attack on the method of submission of the so-called Segregation Ordinances, the contention of the plaintiff being confined to the question that the Board of Freeholders and the people had no right to enact the above provision in Article V of said Charter. There can be no question that if the Initiative is contrary to the Constitution and laws of the State, that such provi- TRADE PORO MARK BEWARE Sons: going to make "PORO." preparations with broken gear preparations said to be as preparations with name sound "PORO." unsealed goods without people are swindling people money the country over.

CASSEROLE A GOOD FRIEND Especially Valuable in Its Usefulness in the Making Over of Joints of Preceding Days. When the making over of cold meats into warm dishes is in question consider the casserole. By its use even the smallest scraps of meat, vegetables, sauces and gravies can be used up. Not a spoonful of anything edible need go to waste. When the Sunday joint of roast beef has been served hot and then cold, make a delicious lunch or-supper of the remains if there is insufficient for a dinner. In the bottom of the casserole put sliced potatoes, a carrot and a couple of onions, small, chopped, and, on hand, a few mushrooms. Over this pour the gravy left from the meat, or, if this has been thrown away, add water seasoned with pepper and salt. Put on the cover and bake in a slow oven for an hour. Half an hour before serving lay the cold meat on top of the vegetables, replace the cover, and continue the baking. Cold roast of lamb will prove a very tasty dish cooked in a casserole with peas. The peas placed in layers in the casserole alternately with slices of the lamb. The liquor in which the peas were boiled is thickened and poured over, the casserole being set in the oven until the meat has heated through. Served with mashed potatoes, an appetizing meal is the result. When cold peas are other vegetables are on hand a white sauce can be poured over, or any gravity that may be available. The liquor from the peas is not absolutely necessary, though it adds to the nutriment of the dish. Prune and Raisin Pie Prune and Raisin Pie. This is nice when you have left-over prunes. Wash them and mix in a few raisins that have stood in boiling water for a few minutes, add a few drops of lemon juice, sugar to your taste. Bake in two crusts. Stuffed Spanish Onion.

RACE PATRONAGE AND PRIDE The play, "For His People," being presented at the Booker Washington Theatre this week, is a strong lesson in race pride and patronage. It is particularly interesting to us because the scene is laid in the Argus office. It portrays our policy, our strife against obstacles, our hope for ultimate success as the champion of Negro advancement. It shows that we have a great future, and the time will soon be at hand when Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands to God. We must take off our hats to Mr. Turpin. Nothing but race pride could have inspired him to stage this drama. It can have but one purpose—the advancement of colored people. It dates the beginning of a revolution that will soon become widespread in this city and the nation, and will cause a combination of men and dollars in enterprises that will soon place the Negro on the high road to financial success. day, "For His People," being presented at the Theatre this week, is a strong lesson in race.

After the mob had disposed of the Negro in its brutal and summary way, it burned down the Negro schoolhouse. Why did the mob burn down the schoolhouse? Because, one may suppose, school education prepares one to resist insults, whether coming from white or colored, and causes one to denounce all forms of lawlessness. Such items as this one—lynching a Negro and burning down a Negro schoolhouse—are of such common occurrence that they barely get a paragraph in our daily papers. If a Negro is burned alive, he may get two paragraphs, but no bitter denunciation in editorial comment. Should such a horror be perpetrated on the battle-fronts of the bloodiest war of history, now raging in Europe, our great American press would go wild in denouncing the barbarity, but if a Negro is hailed in a pine box, saturated with coal oil and burned to a crisp in Mississippi, the news columns will tell the story simply, and the editorial page be as silent as death on this bit of Southern pastime. It is indifference to the mob, this callousness to crime, this tolerance to race hatred, that has emboldened the Ku Klux to resurrect in Southeast Missouri and start once more on their night ride for murder and arson: So the news comes from down around New Madrid, the hotbed of Negro lynching and banishment, that the night-riders are in the saddle. It is like the Ku Klux Klan, a secret organization of oath-bound assassins, only now their idea is to kill rich white men instead of poor Negroes; to burn white factories and mills instead of Negro churches and schoolhouses; to burn down towns and make white families shelterless instead of driving the Negro population out of the town like they did at Pierce City. The mob in the South has grown and fattened on Negro blood, and now it threatens the business and comfort of the white man. The state as well as the nation must take the mob in hand and punish it, whether it lynches a Negro or burns down a factory. THE ENEMY WITHIN graceful scenes at Youngstown, Ohio, indicate within our borders greater than all the forced seized against us. The drunken mob that fires the hills and wounds innocent residents, and surgesed tribes of history's darkest days is a greater than anything in the whole realm of our affaired Rome, that tore Earthage, that desecreo that forced Italy into the greatest of all wars that marks the first evidence of decay, for the death. The disgraceful scenes at Youngstown, Ohio, indicate that there is an enemy within our borders greater than all the foreign foes that might be raised against us. The drunken mob that fires towns, shoots up streets, kills and wounds innocent residents, and surges forth like the uncivilized tribes of history's darkest days is a greater menace to our nation than anything in the whole realm of our affairs. It was a mob that ruined Rome, that tore Carthage, that desecrated France. It was a mob that forced Italy into the greatest of all wars. It is the mob spirit that marks the first evidence of decay, for the religion of the mob is death. The Ohio outrage calls for the most drastic action. This mob spirit must be crushed. National security will be jeopardized until all Americans learn that the mob reeks of savagery and barbarism. —The St. Louis Times. THE CASE AGAINST THE INITIATIVE LAW OF THE CHAPTER The loss of the case against the Initiative Law of the city charter is not a decision that has any bearing whatever on the constitutionality of the proposed segregation law, as some people seem to think. This test was upon the Initiative provision of the present city charter, under which the proposed segregation election is to be held. The Local Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has already made plans looking towards the testing out in the United States Court the constitutionality of the proposed segregation law, should the same carry at the election to be held February 29. The case of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People against the Initiative Law recently argued before Judge Shields will be appealed at once to the Supreme Court of the State of Missouri, and we are appealing to the people not only to assist us in this effort, but also to co-operate with us in every possible way in making the campaign for a victory at the polls. The immense registration of January 13 was indeed gratifying, but our work along that line is not yet completed. We must see to it that every voter THE ST. LOUIS AROUS casts his ballot on election day, and white persons are interested in the and vote to keep this nefarious orc. This is a battle not only for people everywhere, and nothing should be made to keep alive the fifty years ago by the blood of hurt try cannot exist half slave and tional Association for the Advance Injunction Denied casts his ballot on election day, and also that a sufficient number of white persons are interested in the matter that they too will get out and vote to keep this nefarious ordinance off of the statute books. This is a battle not only for the people of St. Louis, but for the people everywhere, and nothing short of the greatest possible effort should be made to keep alive that principle which was established fifty years ago by the blood of hundreds of thousands, that this country cannot exist "half slave and half free"—St. Louis Branch National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Injunction Denied Orphan Home Report Continued from page 1. sion must be held void, and the question is whether or not it is "in harmony with and subject to the Constitution and laws of the State." The people of the State delegated the power to the people of the City to make a Charter for their own government without any restrictions, except it should be in harmony with the laws and Constitution of the State. The Board of Freeholders and the City electorate exercised those powers and after providing for the election of such "house of legislation" in their Charter of 1914, enacted certain provisions limiting the power of the municipal assembly. The Constitution does not expressly confer any particular power on the Board of Aldermen, much less exclusive power as contended for by plaintiff, but leaves these questions entirely to the people of such City. I find no provision in either the laws or the Constitution of the State with which the Initiative provision of the Charter is not "in harmony," and having been adopted by the people in accordance with the terms of the Constitution it is valid and binding on the people of St. Louis, if the initiative provision of the Charter is read in connection with the initiative provision of the Constitution, it would be found that they are in absolute harmony, the only difference being that one applies to the whole State and all the people, whereas the other applies to only a subdivision of the State and a part of the people of the State. I have no doubt, then, that the Initiative provision of the Charter is valid and that under it the people of St. Louis have a right to enact ordinances for their own government. The demurrer that the petition does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action must be sustained, temporary injunction' refused, the rule to show cause discharged, and the plaintiffs be dismissed. VOTERS ORDERED TO APPEAR REVISION DAY, FEBRUARY 4. On account of the heavy Negro registration January 13, the Election Commissioners claim fraud and have issued notices for a majority of those who registered to appear at the polls on revision day, February 4, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 10 p.m., and show cause why their names should not be dropped from the list. Everyone who received notice should be sure to appear in order to vote against segregation, February 29. All voters who were more than 50 miles away, or were sick on registration day, should go to the office of the Election Commissioners, in the city hall, at once, and have their names entered.

Miss Zenobia Sholders, Sec. M. B. St. Louis, Mo., January 20, 1916. To Editor St. Louis Argus: I notice, appearing in some of our daily papers a few days ago, articles written by Mr. Charles K. Cohn, 2007 Easton Ave., a German Hebrew by nationality, in which he denounces the segregation movement, and takes issue with the promoters of the movement, upon the ground that it is discriminatory in its effect as being unfair and unjust to the Negro citizens of this city. The articles in my opinion create the impression that if the Negroes can be segregated then for the same reason and upon the same ground the Jews can be segregated. It seems to me that Mr. Cohn can be of great benefits to us if he will, in the manner in which presents the question to his friends and fellow citizens in opposition to this measure. I see that the temporary injunction has been denied us and the election will be held to vote in this measure; therefore I feel that we need every available vote we can get, and think it would be advisable to confer with Mr. Cohn or have him confer with the campaign committee relative to assisting in the campaign. Thanking you in advance for the publication of this letter, I remain, You're very truly.

Acting Director of the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1918, Western Newspaper Union.) THE SPIRIT OF LIFE LESSON TEXT—Romans 1:12-18 GOLDEN TEXT—As many as are led by the spirit of God, these are the sons of God—Rom. 1:14. The connection of this lesson with the others of the series is in the fact that this chapter is a panegyric regarding the spirit-filled life, the coming of which we have so recently studied Read prayerfully in this connection Gal. 5:22. 26. We somehow feel that we ought to study this entire chapter rather than that portion assigned. The key to the whole is found in verse thirty-seven, "We are more than conquerors." If conquerors, how be more than conquerors? Very simple. Some victories leave the victor so exhausted that he cannot possess nor enjoy his victory; not so the spirit-filled Christian for he is "more than conqueror." Previously in this epistle the spirit is mentioned but once (5:5); in this chapter he is mentioned nineteen times. Over what is the spirit-filled man conqueror? 1. Over the Condemnation of Sin, v. 1. The spirit-filled Christian lives in another realm than that of the flesh (v. 9). The spirit removes us from the realm to that of the spirit, quickening us (i. e., making us alive who were dead in sin) to condemn sin in the flesh and enabling us to "walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit." II. Conquerors Over the Power and *Dominion of Sin, vv. 24.* While we still have the body yet it is our privilege, through the spirit's power at work within us, to put to death its deeds every day and each minute (Gal. 5:16, 22, 23). To live otherwise is to displease God (v. 8). Those who surrender their lives to the control of the indwelling spirit are "sons of God" and therefore "free from the law of sin and death" (v. 2), for the same spirit that "raised from the dead" (v. 11) not alone makes us sons but gives us the same power. III. Conquerors Over Fear, v. 15. The righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us "who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit" (v. 4) and having received the "spirit of adoption" (i. e., being placed as sons) we cringe not before God in terror, nor call him a tyrant, or even ruler, but exclaim "Abba, my father." As "sona" we are spiritually minded and have "life and peace" (v. 6, Gal. 4:6). IV. Conquerors Over Suffering, v. 18. We are joint heirs with Jesus "if so be we suffer with him." Our position and heirship in Christ involves our participation in his sufferings (Gal. 6:17, II Tim. 2:11, 12, Acts 14:22). What we often call afflictions are only discomforts and frequently the results of our own foolish carelessness. But as contrasted with his glory there is no comparison. Only eternity will enable us to comprehend what it means to be made perfect through suffering (Phil. 3:10, II Tim. 2:12, Heb. 5:8). We are heirs of all God has and all that God is, we are likewise an heir just as Christ is, and to the extent that Christ is an heir and hence to his sufferings (we suffer with him) though we are even there more than conquerors for like him we too shall rise triumphant "over all things." V. Conquerora Over-Vanity, v. 20. This glory is contrasted with the creation now subject to vanity, but which is in degradation by comparison. The creature (v. 21) (i. e., creation) was made subject not willingly but by reason of him who subjected it in hope that the creation should yet be delivered from the bondage to the principles of death and decay into the glorious liberty, or the liberty of the glory, of the children of God. VI. Conquerors Over Infirmities, v. 26. The believer's all-sufficiency and perfect security in the Lord Jesus. We may not have all we want yet we have all we need (Phil. 4:19). This sufficiency is in the privilege we possess in praying "according to the will of God"—we know not how to pray as we ought but the spirit makeh intercession for us (v. 26); so also Christ, "who is at the right hand of God," intercedes for us (v. 34). The spirit knows the mind of God the father, teaches us how to pray and at times places a yearning in our hearts too deep for our own comprehension. Even God must search the heart to know the mind of the spirit (v. 27) and in this God does "exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think" (Eph. 2:30). Vil. Conquerers Over All Things, v. 22. The crowning privilege the spirit-filled life has, is in knowing that all things work together for good and hence we are free from all possible anxiety of heart under any and all circumstances. Whatever comes to me is a part of his "all things" and therefore I should be grateful because the outcome will be good. We are not fore-ordained to salvation irrespective of what we may be or do but we are fore-ordained as believers "to be conformed to the image of our God" (v. 29). Thus there was because condenation are taken absent. This beautiful psalm needs no commendation, for even the people of the world know and love it in their own way as do the people of God in a different way. However, it is the latter only who are able to lay the emphasis on the possessive pronoun, "my"—"The Lord is my shepherd." It is this pronoun that makes all the difference as to our understanding of the psalm and its preciousness to PETER H. our souls. To know its deepest meaning one must have received the Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior and confessed him as his Lord. Then in a real sense does he become his shepherd and with confidence such a soul can say, "I shall not want." Note the future tense here. The child of God does not want for any good thing, and shall not want forevermore. 1. If the Lord is my shepherd then he is causing me to lie down in green pastures, which means that I am daily feeding on his Holy Word. The Scriptures are the green pastures in which the sheep have their soul hunger satisfied, so that they are able to rest in sweet content. We can easily determine how far the Lord can be called our shepherd by the time and thought we give to the Bible, the strength we receives from it, and the love we have for it. 2. If the Lord is my shepherd then I am enjoying the communion of the Holy Spirit because he is leading me beside the still waters. The still waters are a symbol of the Holy Spirit who dwelt within the true believer in Christ; to guide him in his perplexities, to comfort him in his trials, to soothe him in his sorrows, and to enlighten the eyes of his heart in the knowledge of God and his precious promises. 2. If the Lord is my shepherd then I am experiencing continually the renewing of my spiritual strength, for he restoreth my soul. The sheep sometimes wanders away from the flock and gets torn amid the brambles, or by the attacks of wild beasts. Or possibly he falls among the rocks and breaks a limb. The shepherd binds up his wounds and knits his broken bones, and in a spiritual sense our shepherd does the same for us. It is this precious truth that is set before us in those words of John where he says, "If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 4. If the Lord is my shepherd then I am surrendering my will to him day by day, and for that matter moment by moment, for otherwise he cannot be leading me in the paths of righteousness. Observe that the believer on Christ has already been led into those paths, but now he is being led, in them as he yields himself to God for that purpose. 5. If the Lord is my shepherd then I am not failing to trust his promises, for if I fall there I am unable to testify, as in the fourth verse of the Psalm, "I will fear no evil." The moment we lose our trust in God the fear of evil takes possession of us, but he whose confidence is reposed in him can press to his heart the promise in the first chapter of Proverbs: "Whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be*quiet from fear of evil." 6. If the Lord is my shepherd then I am continually enjoying security and peace, for such is the meaning of the words, "Thou prepaest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies." In the Orient the enemies of the sheep are the wild beasts just referred to, hidden away in the darkness, ready to spring upon their prey when unprotected by the shepherd's presence. But when he is there they feed in safety on the green pastures and their enemies are powerless. 7. If the Lord is my shepherd then I am experiencing joy and gladness, and rendering service of the same kind to others that are about me, for such is the significance of the words, "Thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over." The true Christian is filled to overflowing, and those that are round about him get the benefit of the overflow in refreshing showers of blessing. 8. If the Lord is my shepherd then I am the possessor of eternal hope covering both this life and that which is to come, "for surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." May this blessing come to all of you, and it will come if you will receive the instruction set before you at the beginning of this message, and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved, for he will teach "This that comes unto me I will in no wise come out."

The play, ‘‘For My People,’? has as’ its theme, race pride. It is an interesting comedy drama, portraying the dawn- ing of a new- era in the progress of the Negro race whin Negroes will patronize Negroes in business, Negroes will be. running factories; publishing daily papers -and maintaining, prof- itably; places of amusement of ‘their own. The purpose of the play is to promote business enterprise among ‘Negroes and-do through the stage and drama what should be done also by the Negro pulpit, press and platform. ‘The idea is happily considered and fos- tered in a newspaper office. Joe™Bright, as Col, John Hamilton Brown, the editor, who succeeds in carrying his plans regardless of obstaclee ranging from attempted bribery to ‘almost: assassination, ix an ideal and inspiring character; . Miss Florence Bewall, as the agent of the opposition, plays the part well to the end; Noisy Bpeedy Smith as Greenriver Wilson, the printer’ devil, furnishes the comedy and. keeps the house ronring: Dajnty Theresa Barronghe-Hrooks, and Inez, the reporter, in as usual, perfec- tion, Gallie DeGaston, the adapted son; Raymond Brown, foreman; and Mint Emma Fredericks; Greeariver's wife, all play their parts well.
