The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People closed its tenth anniversary conference at Cleveland, Ohio, Saturday evening, June 28th, with an anti-lynching meeting in the famous Gray's Armory, attended by thousands. The meetings of the conference have been pronounced by those who attended as the most enthusiastic and inspiring ever held in this country. Three sessions were held each day during the entire conference of eight days and each evening session found hundreds standing. Neither rain nor hot weather served to diminish the crowds or enthusiasm in the least, and theences fairly hung on the words or the speakers. More than three hundred delegates were in attendance and $1 states were represented at the conference. The extreme South and the far West as well as the middle West, North and East were represented. The programs of the Association took up the subjects as follows: The Battle Fields of America, Publicity, The Battle Fields of France, The Negro in Field and Industry, Rural Conditions of Labor, Negro Labor, Migration and Readjustment, Related National Programs, Education and Social Welfare, Jim Crowing, The Negro and the Vote, Votes for All and Lynching. Among the speakers were Bishop John H. Hurst, Hon. Emmet J. Scott, Dean William Pickens, John R. Shillady, Charles W. Chosinut, Butler R. Wilson, Major J. E. Spingarn, Dr. W. R. DuBulis, Attorney Geo. L. Vaughn, Scott Bond, Prof. Geo. A. Towson, Dr. Geo. E. Haynes, President Chas. F. Thwing, Miss Eva D. Bowles, Rev. M. H. Lichliter, Leo M. Favrot, Chas. A. Cottrill, Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson, Chas. E. Russell, Owald Garrison Villard, Jas. Weldon Johnson, Mary White Ovington and Walter A. White. Bishops Wilbur P. Thrickle, John A. Hamilton and Wm. A. Quale of the M.-E. Church brought fraternal greetings from the Centenary Conference of Bishops and District Superintendents of that organization. The addresses before the convention were largely constructive and well delivered. Ways and means were pointed out by which the obstacles and evils could be met and overcome and conditions chagned and a constructive program was mapped out for the future work of the Association. The Association went on record as favoring a Federal department of education in which the Negro would have some say as to division of funds and the application of them to the education of his children. It also demanded the ballots of the Negro, equal opportunity in industrial pursuits, abolishment of Jim Crow cars, justice before the courts, the wiping out of lynching and fair treatment at the hands of the Government and the American people. Up to the close of the convention reports showed that more than 70,000 members had joined the Association. In the state of Texas there were 21 branches with more than 5,000 members. The drive is continuing throughout the country and a hundred thousand members asked for will be exceeded before it is closed. Due to the rapid growth of the organization it become necessary to provide an increase in funds for the running expenses of the National headquarters. More than $12,000 in cash and subscriptions were raised in thirty minutes at one of the night sessions. Of this amount St. Louis pledged $250, New York $500; Philadelphia $600, and Washington, D. C. $1,000. Individual members pledged or paid from $5 up to $200. Visit Oberlin. On Wednesday afternoon the meeting of the conference was held in Planner Chapel on the historic grounds of Oberlin College. Dr. Geo. Edward Wright, a graduate of Oberlin class of '93, told of the institution's attitude toward colored people in the early days. He told of incidents connected with the underground railroad station at Oberlin and the part it played in molding sentiment throughout the North against slavery. Dr. DuBois, in a masterly address pointed out 'educational conditions affecting the Negro in this country and advocated the passage of the Smith-Townner bill now before the Senate with the proper safeguards for the rights of the Negro. He pointed out that anything advocated by Senator Hoke Smith bore watching. He also stated that the Oberlin of today was not the Oberlin of yesterday in its attitude toward colored people. Spingarn and Villard. Perhaps the most striking pair of addresses delivered before the conference were those of Major Spingarn and Mr. Owald Garrison Villard. Major Spingarn advocated aggressive action on the part of the Negro for rights in this country. Protesta strikes and even weapons were mentioned by him as means to bring about these ends while Mr. Villard advocated non-resistance and exhibi The St. Louis Argus tion of the Christian spirit and humility. Two other significant features of the conference were the presence of Mr. Ayers of Hampton Ina, who made promises for-lifting the standard of education at Hampton and spoke of the improvements contemplated, and that of Mr. Leo M. Favrot, state supervisor of rural schools of Louisiana, who spoke of the work being done there for the betterment of Negro schools and of the difficulties which he had met in securing the assistance of the plantation owners in carrying out the program for better schools. Atlanta Next Meeting Place. After a contest between several cities, Atlanta Ga., was chosen as the next meeting place of the conference, subject, however, to the approval of the national board. The Governor of Georgia, Mayor / and Chamber of Commerce of Atlanta and many other business men sent telegrams inviting the conference to hold its next session there. St. Louis was Atlanta's strongest contender for the meeting. LOCAL BRANCH MEMBERSHIP DRIVE. The membership drive of the local branch of The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is now under full swing. Atty. Geo. L. Vaughn, chairman of the Executive Committee, reported splendid progress to an Argus reporter. He stated that work had begun in earnest in each of the twenty districts into which the city had been divided and that hundreds of new members were being received each day. The wo of the Association is such that no self respecting Negro can afford to remain outside. It is fighting lynching and "Jim Crowism" and discrimination as no other organization in the country is doing. It is also fighting for better educational facilities and fair industrial opportunity for the Negro. Its program is constructive and helpful in many practical ways, and, above all, it is the one organization which the enemies of the race fear. Power in Numbers. There is great power in numbers. If ten thousand colored people in St. Louis will join the Association, they will be able to remedy most of the evils that are now complained of. It is organized bodies that count, that men fear and listen to. To thousand Negroes in one organization in St. Louis can get anythings in reason they may desire. More than two hundred persons are soliciting membership for the local branch and it is planned to have no less than 400 workers by the end of the week. Chairman Vaughn is asking the people to volunteer for the work. Call up headquarters, Bomond 1928, or Attorney Vaughn's office, Bomond 1231. St. Louis to Go Over the Top. The membership of the national hory is growing so rapidly that the figures given out one day are incorrect the next. This is due to the activity of the various branches. Last year the first branch was organized in Texas. Today, there are twenty-nine branches, with over 2,000 members. The branch at Washington, D.C., has over 7,000 members. St. Louis must have 10,000. Next week we will give the number of new members. Shiladay Candela Sullivan Coming. Mr. John R. Shilladay, secretary of the National Association, will speak at Urban Memorial Church Sunday afternoon at 4:30.

Negroes Will Be Added to County Committees. By Associated Negro Press. BROOKLYN, N. Y., July 3.—Negro Republicans of Brooklyn have forced the G. O. P. leaders to abandon their scheme to aggregate Colored voters in the approaching political campaign. At a meeting of the Republican County Committee they were informed that the discrimination against them would be stopped and that they would be considered on equal footing with white men and women in the management of the campaign. George E. Wibecan, leader of the Colored race here, who championed the cause of his people, said the victory won by N's Race was due largely to the wide publicity given to the complaint by the Associated Negro Press. The Republican leaders have decided to give up their idea of appointing a committee of ten Negroes to work -among their own people during the campaign and to represent the Colored voters at the unofficial convention at which the party candidates will be designated. Instead, one Negro will be added to the County Committee in each Assembly District, increasing the Colored representation by three. ASKS SQUARE DEAL ON FLA. JURIES By Associated Negro Press. MIAMI, Fl. July 3.—Attorney R. E. S. Toomey, legal advisor and state organizer of the Negro Uplift Association, who recently headed a delegation that visited the state capital and presented to the president of the senate and speaker of the house of representatives a memorial urging that no color line be drawn in making up of lists for jury service, addressed a letter to Governor Cattis in which he deplored the lack of consideration given the memorial by the state executive. To this latter Governor Cattis made reply that he had nothing to do with the disposition of the memorial by the senate or the house, but that he would endeavor to safeguard the interests of all people in Florida on a just basis. "The Negro Uplift Association of Florida," wrote the Colored attorney to the governor, "is not unmindful of the courteous reception and hearing accorded to its delegation, which recently wested on you, by your excellency, the presidet of the senate and the speaker of the house. It still regrets and deplores the lack of consideration given the memorial placed in your hands by members of both houses. "Finding, however, confidence in your effort to have all officers keep law and in your purpose to secure for all Floridaians (square deal; we respectfully ask that you impress upon the sheriffs of each county the duty of including in their jury Iat all qualified citizens and requesting them to eliminate no such citizen because of race, color or previous condition of servitude." "Trusting that the governor of the State of Florida will see his way clear to grant this request and act in accordance on behalf of nearly one-half of the population of the State of Florida." John Barleycorn Passes Away Quietly No Demonstrations of Regret Mark Closing of Saloons in St. Louis Monday Night. St. Louis bid farewell to Old John Barleycorn last Monday night with very little show of regrets. There were no hilarious scenes as had been expected. Many of the dramshops were virtually empty of customers long before the "zero hour." More than one-third of the saloon keepers have renewed their licenses but do not intend to evade the law. They are selling only soft drinks, including a near-beer. The Colored saloons were closed Tuesday morning only long enough for the proprietors to get licenses. None of the owners are willing to risk prosecution for selling 2% per cent beer, but will wait for a Congressional or court decision on the status of intoxicating liquors. All the cabarets are open, but the promoters state that they will comply with the law, and sell only soft drinks. The druggists state that the entering of saloon owners in the soft drink line has had no effect upon their fountain trade. Pastor Stevens will occupy his pulpit, morning and evening, Sunday. The great campaign for thirty thousand dollars, will start in Central Parish next week! This amount to be paid in installments with a period of eighteen months, and one-third of all pledges to be paid in by the end of Sept. 1919, which will be a month when the new church will be dedicated. All the street and block workers and officers, and auxiliary will meet at the church on next Wednesday night when the mighty drive will start.

The Olivette Baptist Church, 4200 Finney Avenue, probably the youngest church in the city to attract so widespread attention, under the leadership of Rev. J. L. Caston will celebrate the dedication of their recently remodeled home with a week of interesting programs and a financial campaign. Dedication week will begin next Monday evening, July 7th, at 8:30 p.m., when the church will be thrown open to the business men and women of the neighborhood.

All business and professional men of the neighborhood and of the city as far as that matters, will be accorded places of honor and a general boosting program will be rendered Tuesday night will be known as Y. M. C. A. Gym. Class night, Mr. Lucian Garrett, physical director of the Y, will be in charge. The noonday class and the 'night' class, known as the bottom's gang, will debate on 'Resolved that the Negro Has Been Benefited by His Participation in the War.' A sharp contest is expected. These same classes will rally against each other for the honors of the evening in raising finances for the church. The rest of the week will be given over to sister churches who will engage in rally contests with each other to see which one can raise the most finance. On Wednesday night, the First Baptist Church and the Fifth Baptist Church will rally. Dr. O. C. Maxwell, pastor of the First Baptist Church, will preach. On Thursday night, Pleasant Green Baptist Church and South Gallilee Baptist Church will rally with Revs. J. K. Parker and Malachi Owens as the opposing pastors. On Friday night, El Bethel Baptist Church, Compton Hill Baptist and Tabernacle Baptist churches will see which can outdo the other. The names of the victorious pastors, their amounts and their pastors will be placed on a scroll which will be framed and hung in the church. On Saturday night a grand social will be given at the home of Sister Mary Griffin, 4336 Fairfax Avenue, and the church will be host to her visitors of the week. On Sunday afternoon at 8:30 p.m. the dedicatory sermon will be preached and each night's report will be made by persons chosen to do so and a grand total will be announced. Rev. Dr. J. T. Caston, president of the Missouri State Convention of Baptist and father of the pastor of Olivette Baptist Church, will preach the sermon. All plans are shaping up for a big week of service. So Louisiana should co-operate and encourage this young man who is striving to do so much for her church life. No admission will be charged to any of the programs; therefore you must come early, as an overflow house is expected every evening. DESIGNS FLAG FOR NEGROES OF WORLD By Associated Nexta Press ROCHESTER. N. Y., June 30. Starcoma Williams, with whom originated the movement to petition the government to center upon Negroes of the country the privilege of naming one of the world war battleships of the navy, in recognition of the work of the Negroes in the world war, has designed a flag for the Negroes of the world. Mr. Williams says he believes that the one thing the Negroes lack to make them a unit throughout the world is racial cohesion, and he be kevens that a flag will have that of effect. The flag has a black field, denoting the dark continent of Africa, and a gold star in the right hand upper corner represents the Kingdom of Albayria. In the upper left corner is a crimson star, representing the blood which has been shed by the Negroes of the Congo Free State and the lower corners are two blue stars, representing the Republics of Haiti and Liberia. In the center of the flag is a white cross, which Mr. Williams says is symbolical of the sufferance and hope of the 375,000,000 Negroes in the world. Mr. Williams said he has applied for a patent to cover his design and that he has forwarded a flag to each of the countries named, including two places in America that are governed by Negroes, Brooklyn, III, and Mound Bayon, Miss.

Whooping, yelling, hurrying, standing on chairs and tables, the men of the Pine Street Department celebrated their victory of raising a thousand men and boys, on the last night of the drive. Throughout the campaign, the singing and cheering were wonderful. When the men sang "Zip," or "Smiles," or "Pack Up Your Troubles," it sounded as if a thousand men were singing. Tony Haskell led the singing except on the last night, when Mrs. Zelle Cole Evans sang for the men. From the first night of the drive to the last the spirit ran high. The rivalry between the Divisions was keen all the way through. The 92nd Division had the edge on the 93rd, yet the 93rd Division, under the leadership of Mr. J. R. Pinkett made a great showing. The tried and seasoned workers of the 92nd Division under the leadership of Mr. T. A. Marshall had somewhat the advantage, and simply took the meeting by storm. Captain Milton Roland reported on Wednesday night thirty-five members at one shot. While on two different occasions Mr. E. L. Harris reported more than twelve. For the 93rd, Captains J. H. B.

At the last meeting of the National Negro Business League, at Atlantic City, N. J., Dr. Robert R.

Third, to establish a fund from which advances might be made to earnest, ambitious, honest young men and women in helping them to establish business enterprises.

PRICE 5 CENTS NEGROES NOT UNDESIRABLE SAYSTRIBUNE Chicago Daily Says, "The Colored People Were Not 'Undesirable' When They Donned The Khaki And Went Away To War." "UNDESIRABLE IS A FALSE NOTE" "Races Must Cooperate For Betterment Of Community. Adjustment Must Be Reached By Honest Methods, Cards All On The Table." Chicago, July 1.—In a editorial on "Candor Between The Races," today, The Chicago Daily Tribune makes a scathing denouncement of the treatment colored people are receiving, because of their natural tendency to improve their living conditions. Referring to the residential trouble in Chicago, The Tribune says in part: "Malice and envy and jealousy and revenge must not enter into the negotiations. In at least one instance we have noted the use of the word "undesirable: it is a false note. The colored people are firmly established in the United States, and, of course, in Chicago. They were not 'undesirable' when we needed thousands of them to carry on war industries here; not 'undesirable' when they eagerly donned the khaki and went away to war; and they are not 'undesirable' because they obey the instinctive desire for home. "I want it to be double at racial characteristics prevailing among the white people to the extent that they are most content when living among those of their own race; but the same is true of the colored people. They want their own homes, their own locality, their own institutions, this because if the colored race is to find salvation, as its brightest minds, testify, it must alone work it out. "We believe the colored people are agreed that what they most want is the right to comfortable living conditions. We believe they have no thought of intruding, maliciously, into districts far removed from the centers of their race. We believe the thoughtful colored people grant to the whites the same ideas of ethical segregation. "The principles of the adjustment, it seems, cannot fail to be clear: lines of demarkation to be adopted out of consideration for the needs and comforts of both races; willingness to cooperate in all essentials of community betterment; and complete eagerness to confer on all subjects without recourse to bitterness. "In other words, the white people cannot adjudicate the matter to suit themselves; nor can the colored people. Clash will surely follow. The settlement must come in a meeting of the minds, so that the colored people will not think themselves wrongly unaware will have the assurance that whatever ethical understandings are adopted are with their approval and for their best interests. Property rights are inviolate; but just as much for the colored as the white. Adjustment must be reached by honest methods; cards all on the table." DAUGHTER OF R.B. HUDSON, SEC'Y, NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION, MARRIES SELMA, Ala., July 2—Miss Loola Dudson, Aunt of Prof R. B. Hudson, Secretary of the National Baptist Convention, was married here on June 18, to Dr W. H Whitted. It was one of the most beautiful house weddings witnessed in this city for something.

Beatrice Breeding of Montgomery, Ala., played the wedding march. Miss Bernice Hudson, sister of the bride, was made of hon- or and the bride's maids were Miss Victa M. Whitted of Philadelphia, sister of the groom, and Miss Almeda L. Burwell, a cousin of the bride. The best man was J. W Brister. The ceremony was performed by Rt Rev C. L. Fisher, D. D., of Hartford Council, much of the bride, as list- ed by Rev A. Richardson of Hamner, grandfather of the bride.

Henri Bowman's "Cotton Blooms" are offering Booker Washington Theatre patrons a lively show of fun and frillie this week. The one hour of entertaining consists of a vaudeville program followed by a comedy skit in which a fake lawyer and a quack doctor, occupying the same office, are the cause of questionable and indulgent entanglements. This is due primarily to the furtions of the lawyer who has an over-supply of admirers whom he unloads on the quack. Incidently a humorous, burlesque surgical operation is performed in which the victim is relieved of a loaf of bread and a live chicken. It all serves the purpose, to make the people laugh while the Typhoon fins keep them cool. There are a number of good specialties introduced and win forenv applause.

ISAAC FISHER HERE JULY 4 Noted University Editor Of Fisk U. Won First Prize Offered By St. Louis Post-Dispatch On The Subject Of "Why People Should Come To Mis- Extraordinary program will be the attraction at the Pius St. Department Y, M. C.A. andieteram, July 4, when Prof. Isaac Fisher, educator, orator and scholar will speak. He is the most honored use of his Race along his line, because of his peculiar fitness and adaptability for research work. A Prize Wizard—Prof. Fisher has entered many contests of varied nature and subjects, and always receives favorable mention. Fisher's motto when he writes it, "Got the truth," and nothing swerves him from getting to the very, bottom of anything in which he is interested. "When I examine a subject," he says, "I am not white, not black, neither Democrat, Republican, nor Progressive; neither a free trader nor a protectionist; neither Methodist nor Baptist; and I lay aside, absolutely, my personal prejudices, and seek for the truth." The most recent of these prizes, was announced in Everybody's Magazine for September, when the first prize of five hundred dollars was awarded to him for the best essay on the subject "What We've Learned About Rum." Of this essay the editors of Everybody's Magazine write: "This article is selected by us from nine thousand letters as the best, allround discussion of rum. Certain other letters have presented more extensive scientific analysis, but have confined the discussion to particular phases. Others have been brilliant in literary quality, but lacking in logical progression and care in the statement of facts. Mr. Fisher's latter sums up the facts about rum with admirable comprehensiveness and a telling directness of style, and offers some remarkable same suggestions." If any man in America deserves the title, "Doctor of Philosophy," it is this young Negro, a graduate of a school of no higher grade than normal; because he has done, again and again, more work in the philosophic exposition of economic questions of world wide importance than any university requires of candidate for the decto rate. Without even mentioning a large number of essay contests in which the prizes were less than ten dollars, this man, a Negro, a Tuskegee graduate, has been winner some twenty or more times in nation-wide contests with the best brains in America, of all races. He has won on the following subjects: What We've Learned About the Rum Question..... $500,00 German and American Methods of Question ..... $500.00 German and American Methods of Regulating Trusts. (Alone and unfailed Mr. Fisher had to master in a few months sufficient read- ing knowledge of German to be able to write this assay) 400.00 Temple University Should Go to Missouri 100.00 Honorable Mention (Upon the request of the Chief Examiner of the United States Tariff Board, this essay was sent to that body for its use.) These are only the "big" essays he has written. At the recent meeting of the Associated Advertising Chubs of the World, in Toronto, Canada, Mr. Fisher's paper on "Advertising and Selfing" was selected by the Committee on Awards as one of the "four best on the subject," thereby giving him a winning place in the first international contest he has entered. His broad sympathy, was further shown when the Illustrated Titanic went down and added to the grim tragedies of the suns. Touched by the story of the passing, of Mr. and Mra. Straus, Mr. Fisher wrote a five stanza poem on "The Last Full Measure of Devotion, being an appreciation to Mra. Isidor Straus." This was published in The Reform Advocate, Rabbi Emil Hirsch's paper, Chicago. Its middle and final stanzas follow: "Mil the changing scenes of wedlock we have learned side by side. During life our interests have mutual been: New, in death, I will not fall thee, let whatever will bolide I am ready! Let eternity begin. "He will keep them. He will raise them, they shall stand before his throne. [Name] This writer-educator-orator has been honored again and again. To give but one illustration: When the Committee of One Hundred, composed of the most prominent citizens of Chicago, arranged to celebrate, in 1910, the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Theodore Parker, they decided to invite Isaac Fisher, to speak for the American Negro, and he was the only Colored man on a program which included men and women from the United States, Europe and India, and which was graced by, such names as Prof. George Vincent, Edwin D. Mead, Dr. Frank W. Gunselman, Jane THE PERISCOPE Associated Negro Press AFRICA Africa, "this land of darkness," is slowly, but surely, becoming the continent of light. Africa, endowed by nature with richer gifts than any other continent of the world, is swaying the politics of the nations of earth for one reason and another. Civilization has reached its highest pinnacle, Africa, and in some sections of it, one may be led to believe that civilization has reached its lower ebb. Nevertheless, Africa is grand and glorious in promise, and no less a person than Dr. Frederick Starr of the University of Chicago has recently said so publicly. "There are a great many people of can group who ansee at the thought that their forbears came from the Continent of Africa. Others inquire "What have I to do with Africa? If live in America." There should be a cessation of that kind of talk about the African Continent. That kind of talk is a true sign of ignorance—ignorance of history, conditions, and human duty. Africa is worthy of our respect, honor and pride. Africa may yet rise up in its might and raise us from whatever oppressions now suffered by this American group. LABOR Keen to observe the "handwriting on the wall," the American Federation of Labor has turned a somersault of the Race conditions of America that may be regarded as one of the most significant exhibitions witnessed in years. Labor has voted, practically unanimously, to admit the Colored laborers on "terms of equality." Labor has seen that the Colored people of the country are fast falling into economic power, and without sub port from this side much progress will be lacking. Of course it will remain for the individual organization "back home" to pat the doors of the convention into effect. Scores and scores of delegates publicly told of their locals already admitting members of the Race. There is a growing sentiment in favor of giving fair play to the Colored man, as little as it may seem at times, and the move by labor will have unquestioned effect on many other avenues of progress. MEETINGS The various national conferences, convention lodges and the like that have began, to hold their sessions during the Summer, must be able to accomplish more than many previous ones have done. While all gatherings are more or less inspirational, the time has come where they must be materially constructive. A new day has dawned—and that day must be marked with things that can be seen with the eye, felt with the hand and counted in the resources of the nation's wealth. The ocean of favorable sentiment, that has made in our behalf by the thousands of na-troffic solders who served their beasts as the strife must be crystalized into tangible progress in order that we, and posterity, may enjoy the lasting benefits of the sacrifices made Meetings; yes, but not round and round the same old seat.

So well was young Fisher's address received—and his subject was, "Has the Negro Kent Faith?"—that at the last moment at the request of prominent hearers, he was placed on the list of banquet speakers, with men and women who were regarded as the "cream of the cream," to use vernacular, who had been notified in advance of the meeting. Nevertheless, Fisher's five-minute speech was the sensation of the evening; he stirred the banquet guests to burning enthusiasm. SCREENS made to order and hung. OLD SCREENS repaired and refilled.

THE MISSISSIPPI GOVERNOR AND THE LAW According to newspaper reports, another holiday was declared at Ellisville and surrounding counties in the State of Mississippi, a few days ago, when, whatever form of law and order the State possessed, broke-down and a lynching-burning, took place, while the heathen of the communities looked on in fiendish glee. A more horrid crime could not have taken place in the jungles of Africa. This is but another chapter in the catalogue of lynchings and lawliness upon which that State is building its reputation. The governor of the State has no respect for law and order. The good people of Mississippi should impeach Governor Bilbo for violation of his oath of office. He is quoted as having said that lynchings were inevitable. He absolutely refused to use or attempt to use the power of the state or the influence of his high office to prevent the lynching and burning of a human being. The Federal Government has a duty to discharge to its citizens. This is a clear case where the chief executive of a state declares the State to be "powerless" to protect life against the mob. A mob that has been styled as "orderly". We would suggest that the Sheriff, who allowed the prisoner to be taken, should be removed from office, but when we remember that it is the governor who should remove the sheriff, and take into consideration that they both are of the same calibre, and also we recall former diabolical deeds committed by the State upon its weaker class of citizens, we are forced to conclude the only Federal interference will save the State. The State of Mississippi is most wonderfully blessed by nature, but the unfortunate part about it is, she is cursed by her practice. Her masses are ignorant and uneducated; they are blinded by prejudice; they, call good evil, and evil good. If there be enough good citizens of the State whose hands are not stained with the lyncher's rope, they should immediately rise in righteous indignation and demand a removal of those spineless officers; they should show the world that there are at least a few people in the State who stand for law and order. THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS ars of the League of Nations seem to want prevent future wars. Of their fellows, by picturing them of the devastated countries. The people generally are beginning to as an assurance against future out of the people of the world, war is most anything just to have the common friend. But those island, know that a league which every time any of the European oceans to the peace and safety of of the League our standing is ready for the inevitable. Any two of the Europans have wars. During temporary peace, across the sea. There is so much the same in all men's impossible. The spirit that the world is restricted in others mind the proposed League of Nations the United States would do we want form. The supporters of the League of Nations seem to have an idea that such a covenant will prevent future wars. They appeal to the human side of their fellows, by picturing the horrors of war and the scenes of the devastated countries. This of course, has its effect and the people generally are beginning to accept the plans of the League as an assurance against future wars. We, like most of the people of the world, want peace and are willing to accept most anything just to have the word "peace" again as our common friend. But those who think, the statesmen of our land, know that a league which will involve the United States every time any of the European or Asiatic Nations fall out, is dangerous to the peace and safety of this government. To be a member of the League our standing army must be enlarged so as to be ready for the inevitable. Every time any two of the Europeans have a quarrel we must dispatch our troops. During temporary peace, we must maintain a large army across the sea. Human nature is so much the same in all men, that a League to insure peace is impossible. The spirit that made the Kaiser think to rule the world is restricted in others only by lack of power. To our mind the proposed League of Nations is an entangling, alliance that the United States would do well to stay out of while in its present form. SOLDIER INSURANCE who enlisted or was drafted during the recent war had an insurance. Agent has extended this insurance life with equal force and effect for the colored man to get the premium cost. Membered that most of the old race prejudice clause in their adopted the risk when the applicant who accept the risk of color contract. But there is no agreed during the war-time to the fact every man who had an insurance amount reduced, or if premiums had and thier insurance put in full that should not be overlooked. Every man who enlisted or was drafted into the United States Army during the recent war had an opportunity to take out a war-risk insurance. The government has extended this insurance so that it may be continued in civil life with equal force and effect. This is an excellent opportunity for the colored man to get the best insurance risk at the minimum cost. It will be remembered that most of the old line insurance companies have a race prejudice clause in their policies, in which they will not accepted the risk when the applicant happens to be colored. And many who accept the risk of colored applicants do not offer their best contracts. But there is no discrimination in the insurance issued during the war-time to the soldiers and we would advise that every man who had an insurance, to keep it, or he may have the amount reduced, or if premiums are delinquent, they can be paid and thier insurance put in full force. This is an opportunity that should not be overlooked. RACIAL FRIENDSHIP invisible advice which Col. Charles a negro officer gave to people of Music several evenings ago. And how many of his auditors bel people wanted and meant to do It was good, sensible advice which Col. Charles Young of Camp Grant, Illinois—a negro officer—gave to people of his own race at the Academy of Music several evenings ago. First he asked how many of his auditors believed that on the whole the white people wanted and meant to do the right thing by the black man. For all the provocation to believe the contrary, most of those present instantly raised their hands. Then he said: "Love and hate are boomerangs, and if you would have the white man love you and be courteous toward you, it is time that the colored people desisted in their hatred, which seems to be growing more prevalent." That is the way for the friends of either race to talk. Any one who seeks to engender strife instead of to smooth away the causes of friction is a foe to society. The earth belongs to all men, and industrial opportunity should be open to those who can qualify for employment, without regard to the color line. The race in half a century of political freedom and through several centuries of social and industrial discrimination has hopefully persevered, and except when aroused by artificial incitements it has been gentle and patient, kindly and humorous and long-suffering. There are bad and violent black men, and there are white men of the same kind. Neither race has the monopoly of viciousness, or of virtue. But no matter what their color, men were set on earth to help and not to hinder one another. He who preaches that any man has the right to take by force what is another's is an anarchist, whether his doctrine be overt or covert. It is time to single out and to punish those who seek to inflame on a portion of humanity against another; and against these incendiary doctrines there are to be set such wise and temperate counsels as those of Col. Young. Cooled From "The Mirror of Public Opinion." St. Louis Post-Dianatch DEATHS of THE WEEK Hattie Williams, 4050 W.

LINCOLN INSTITUTE NEWS The Summer School session opened June 16 with a large enrollment that is still increasing. We have passed the hundred mark and students are still coming in. Regeneratives from almost every class since 1890 are back for work of some sort, and they are loud in their praises of the conditions at their alma mater. There are also present school principals from almost every county in the state, several of whom have brought their entire teaching force along. The term promises to be thoroughly successful. A new feature of the work this Summer is the demonstration work done with the Model School pupils Heretofore the Model School has remained closed throughout the Summer session and the Normal students missed the Practice Teaching. Both pupils and teachers seem to enjoy the work. Tennis is quite popular with the Summer students. The courts are thrilled daily even in the heat of the afternoon. Old Sol has no terror for the real tennis "flends." Rev. E. S. Scruggs, pastor of the Secord Baptist Church of this city, addressed the student body in Chapel last week and commended them on the wonderful opportunity that was theirs. He spoke in glowing terms of the past year's school work and predicted better things in the years to come. Word was received at the institution last week of the death of John H. Jackson of Columbus, Ohio, a former president of this school. Mr. Jackson visited us in April and impressed us all with his zeal and fervor in connection with all things upstaging. An informal memorial service was held in the Chanel Erdav morning. President: Richardson, Prof. J. Daniel, who was a member of the faculty, during his administration, smoke fittingly of him as a leader. Others in the audience then told of different phases of his life and work, and splendid were the tributes said him. At the close of the service a committee was appointed to draw up resolutions of sympathy to be sent to Mrs. Jackson. Mr. Troy Gorum, class of 1898 and yet a student in the New England Conservatory of Music, is visiting us this week. Tues. day morning he gave a very excellent song special in the Auditorium. His different selections showed much training and feeling tone. We are proud of our alumnus. Several of the Summer School students have brought their musical instruments and Mr. R. Brashear is looking forward to having a good orchestra. The Sunday evening prayer meeting is one phase of our school's religious life. It was last week by Mr. Richardson. Others from the faculty and student body will be asked to serve from time to time. Mr. Rufus Logan of Columbia was a campus visitor last week. The wheat on the institute farm is being cut this week and the yield is proving a splendid one. We are also eating beans, potatoes and other fresh vegetables daily from the different class gardens. Hurrah for the farm! Miss Williams of the Arts department gave a very instructive talk on "Pictures" to the student body last week. We all enjoyed it greatly. Others of the faculty will appear during the session. NAT'L ASSOCIATION OF HEAD WAITERS By Associated Negro Press. NEW YORK.

Waller, Secretary of the Association, was added and will give to the side men death benefits an other rights which have heretofore been confined to the men in the headwaiter class. This move is made to attract the sidemen to the organization and is carrying out an agreed plan for broadening the scope of activities of the organization.

NEW YORK, July 2.—"The Black Star Line," advertised as a fleet of steamships to trade in the interests of the Colored race," by the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the African Communities League, headquarters at No. 38 West 135 St., was torpeded and sunk by Assistant District Attorney Kilroe. He instructed Marous Garvey, Colored, president of both organizations, to refrain from collecting any funds. Garvey promised to refrain.
