NEW REGIME FOR ODD FELLOWS
Grand Master Edward H. Morris Formally Inducted Info Office.
FEATURES OF THE OCCASION
Philadelphia.—With elaborate ceremonies and in the presence of a distinguished gathering, officers for the next two years of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows were installed week ending Jan. 14. The newly installed officers were elected at the session of the fifteenth biennial movable committee, held in Baltimore last September. Among the features of the inaugural ceremonies were the valedictory address of the retiring grand master, William L. Houston, and the inaugural address of his successor, Edward H. Morris, a successful lawyer of Chicago. Mr. Morris served as grand master some years ago. He was born in Kentucky about fifty years ago and has resided in Chicago since his boyhood.
JAMES P. NEEDHAM.
He has been a member of the Illinois bar for about thirty years and is regarded as one of the most successful colored lawyers in the country.
The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows is the second oldest colored fraternal order in the country, the Masons antedating it by a few years. It is a branch of the English order and was founded by Peter Ogden in 1843. Beginning with Philomathean lodge, in New York city, a lodge was next established in Philadelphia, and by 1858 the order had fifteen lodges. The order has now over 11,000 branches with a membership of nearly 430,000. Its wealth mounts up into hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the headquarters of the order are located in a handsome five story marble home at Twelfth and Spruce streets, this city. The newly installed officers are: Edward H. Morris, Chicago, grand master; Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, deputy grand master; James F. Needham, Philadelphia, grand secretary; Julius C. Johnson, Baltimore, grand treasurer; Henry P. Slaughter, Washington, editor and manager of the Odd Fellows' Journal, the official organ of the order; C. A. Howse, Alabama; C. A. Sheely, Florida; J. S. Noel, West Virginia; George W. Hayes, Ohio; W. D. Brown, New York, grand directors. They will compose what is known as the subcommittee of management, which is the sovereign power while the grand lodge is not in session.
The retiring officers were: William L. Houston, grand master; L. N. Porter, Arkansas, deputy grand master; Julius C. Johnson, Baltimore; A. T. Shirley, Herudon, Va.; W. W. Lawrence, North Carolina; T. P. Woodland, New Orleans; George H. Mays, Jacksonville, Fla., grand directors; M. C. Brown, Denton, Tex.; Charles E. Mitchell, Institute, W. Va.; W. David Brown, New York, grand auditors, and B. J. Davis, editor of the Atlanta (Ga.) Independent, grand treasurer.
John C. Asbury, who had been editor of the Odd Fellows' Journal since its inception, was succeeded early in November by Henry P. Slaughter after he had resigned following charges of alleged neglect of duty. It is the prevailing opinion that Mr. Slaughter is making good as editor and manager. The retiring grand master has filled the position for the past four years and has hosts of friends the country over. He is associated with Mr. Morris in the practice of law.
Mr. Needham has been grand secretary of the order for a number of years, and his efficiency and the ability with which he has discharged the exacting duties of his office have made him many stanch friends all over the

WITHER'S SLEIGHING PARTY.
HOME OF W. F. MAUPINS, ON EAST FOURTH STREET, IS
An unsuccessful attempt was made to rob the residence of W. F. Maupins, a negro, 524 East Fourth St. Monday morning by a bandit who slugged and tied Mrs. Maupins when she remonstrated with the intruder. Mrs. Maupins was found tightly bound and gagged lying on the kitchen floor by her husband when he returned to the house about 11:15 a.m. for his dinner. Maupins is employed as elevator man at the Ingalls block, 105-107 West Superior street. The husband, after releasing his wife notified Chief Troyer at the police station, who has had detectives working on the case, but as yet no arrests have been made. The Maupins occupy four rooms in the rear of the house, the front being occupied by George Carr and family. According to Mrs. Maupins' story, she was working in the kitchen preparing the noonday meal when she heard a noise in the bed room. She opened the door and perceived a man, smooth face and of rather powerful build, with a black slouch hat pulled down over his eyes, ransacking the dresser drawers.
"What are you doing here?" demanded Mrs. Maupins. With that, she says, the burglar approached her, leveling a revolver at her head and struck her over the head with a black jack, knocking her down. He then dragged her into the kitchen and tightly bound her hands and feet with stout rags, stuffing another into her mouth. She says that she also noticed that the man had a big bundle lying on the floor of the bed

CRIME INCKEASING.
The lawbreakers among our race have had their share of publicity, and many have earned their punishment. This is the state of affairs, and the condition will grow worse unless there is some effort made to stop this wave of crime. We are ashamed to say that there is "nothing doing" so far as humane societies or missionary workers in these parts, and that when a man commits a crime he has no consideration from that class, who are in a position to elevate him.

NATION WIDE PHILANTHROPY.
Big Sums Offered to Aid Afro-American Y. M. C. A.
Messra. Rosenwald and Harris Each Donate $25,000 Toward Movement to Erect and Equip Building For Young Men's Christian Association In Chicago—Plan and Scope Outlined.
Chicago—Widespread interest is being manifested in Young Men's Christian association circles throughout the country over the recent announcement of gifts amounting to $25,000 each from Messrs. Julius Rosenwald and N. W. Harris toward the fund which has already been started for the erection of a suitable building for Y. M. C. A. work among Afro-Americans in this city.
The announcement of the gifts was made at a meeting in Old Fellows hall, on State street, at which a stereopticon address on "The Worldwide Work of the Young Men's Christian Association" was delivered by L. Wilbur Messer, general secretary of the Chicago association. At the close of this address Mr. Rosenwald and Mr. Harris announced their proposals.
It was particularly appropriate, Mr. Rosenwald pointed out in announcing his gift, that in a movement of this kind one of the leaders should be a Jew. A race which has suffered centuries of persecution, he said, should show practical sympathy for a people but recently released from actual slavery and now trampled on every side by race prejudice and actual if not nominal social ostracism.
In making the gifts through the K. M. C. A. the two men said they had distinct purposes in view. They feel that the Y. M. C. A. is the organization best fitted to fight the evils that exist among the colored people themselves, for the Y. M. C. A. not only provides its members with healthy sports and amusements, but affords them opportunities for moral and religious advancement.
Although the two offers are equal in their amounts, they differ to some extent as to their terms, and that of Mr. Rosenwald is not confined to Chicago, but is extended to every city of the United States where Negroes evince enough race spirit to raise a part of the sum necessary to erect a building.
His offer to Chicago is of $25,000 on condition that $75,000 more is raised by popular subscription. This same offer holds good to every other city in America. The time set for raising the $75,000 by Mr. Rosenwald is five years.
Mr. Harris' offer is of $25,000 for a Chicago building, provided that $125,000 is raised within six months. Taking these two offers together, the local Y. M. C. A. has decided to attempt to raise $150,000. Fifty thousand dollars of this will come from Mr. Rosenwald and Mr. Harris, $50,000 will be raised among the Negroes of Chicago, and the remalder will be sought from the general public.
In addressing the meeting, at which were present upward of 500 representative Afro-Americans, Mr. Rosenwald said:
This, as you know, is the season which is proclaimed to be the season of peace on earth and good will to men. It sounds fine, and I do not believe there could be a better ideal to work to than that one, but I am afraid up to this time it has been only an ideal.
You probably imagine that the colored people in only people who don't get the rights, but if it is any consolation to you I want to say to you that there are white people who suffer a great deal more.
The Jewish race, which dates back thousands of years and, like yours, dates back to a time when they were known to be in slavery, has been persecuted and legislated against in all countries of the world since the beginning of time. Jews are persecuted in a way that you would not believe. It is not a question of color, but of religion.
And when these people have suffered for thousands of years you ought not to feel very badly at the progress you have made in the last thirty or forty years. You have got a great deal more to hope for than the Jews of the world have had since the time they were in slavery.
You would probably be surprised to know that there are clubs in Chicago, representing what you might call the best type of citizenship, that do not admit to a great deal more than those they are called a club of university men. I do not want you to feel I have an ax to grind because I couldn't get in. Even if they admitted Jews I am not a university man. I am not at all hurt by the stand you take. Personally I have no quarrel with many of the institutions. I believe that the Jew has a good chance in this country and that if he behaves himself properly he will some day come into his own.

CONVENIENCE OF THE SYSTEM
Postmaster General. -Hitehcock Be-
lieves That the Opportunity to De-
posit Small Sums Will Mest a Hearty
Response From the Masses—Deposi-
tora Guaranteed Against Loss.
By OLIVER RANDOLPH.
Washington.—Students of nancial
and economic conditions predict that
the postal saving banks which will
soon be Inaugurated in the postoffices
throughout the United States will
prove a greater blessing, proportionate-
ly speaking, to the colored people than
to any other class of people in the
United States,
This prediction is based upon the
fact that the economic status of the
masses of the colored people makes
them peculiarly the beneficiaries of
the opportunities for thrift and econ-
omy afforded by these banks.
Postmaster General Hitchcock is
confident that through these banks the
habit of saving will be cultivated more
than ever among ‘the colored people
Just as well as it will be among other
classes of people for whom the opera-
tlon of these banks will mean so much.
He 1s arxious that the colored people
take advantage of the financial oppor-
tunities which will come with this
new opportunity.
‘Under the plan devised by the post-
master general and his assistants, in
compliance with the law, savings can
be begun in sums as small as 10 cents
and formal accounts can be opened in
sums as small as $1. This small amount
feature will prove popular to the
masses of our people, for many of
them are not able to make large de-
posits, but will gladly lay aside the
small amounts that they can spare
from thelr living expenses,
Any person, from the little boy or
girl of ten to the man or woman
weighted down with many years, can
have an account in one of these postal
savings banks, and, what is most im-
portant, Uncle Sam absolutely guar-
antees the depositors against loss.
If the person wishing to oyen a de-
posit has a dollar or more he simply
goes to the postofiice, turns his money
over to the postmaster and receives
fir Het theteot # certificate of depostt
for the amount deposited. The de-
Positor draws interest at the rate of 2
per cent per annum. He also has the
right to draw out a part or all of his
money whenever he pleases.
If, however, you have not as much as
a dollar to open a formal account
you can for 10 cents purchase from
the postmaster a postal savings card,
which will have a ten cent postal sav-
ing stamp in {ts center. Then from
time to tlme the owner of the card
can purchase other ten cent postal sav-
ings stamps, which have mucillage on
one side like ordinary postage stamps,
and stick them on the white card.
‘When the owner of the card has
stuck ten of these stamps on his or
her card tt 1s then turned into the
postmaster, who will give in return
& certificate of deposit for $1. Other
additions to your account can be made
in the same way. As aforesaid, the
depositors draw 2 per cent interest on
thelr money, have the right to with-
Graw the money out of the bank at
will and are guaranteed against loss
by the United States,
After having saved up $20 the de-
positor, if he or she desires, can ex-
change his deposit for a United States
bond, ‘This can be done by surren-
dering your deposit, and you will re-
cetve in Neu thereof a United States
bond. These bonds bear 2% per cent
interest per annum.
Postal. savings banks have been In
operation for years:tn some countries,
and the experience of those cow tries
is that they have proved a veritable
blessing to the poor. Postmaster Gen-
eral Hitchcock, under whose super-
vision the inauguration and operation
of these banks will come, hopes to
begin to establish them the first week
in January. 3S
Gradually they are to be established
in nearly every postofiice, big and lit-
tle, in this country. Thus they will
be put within easy reach of all the
people. The old bugaboo of bank fall-
ures will be completely ellminated, for
the government of this country se
cures the depositors.
‘When President Taft recommended
this measure to congress he knew full
well that he was recommending a
measure that would be most helpful
to the poor people. In a few years
the wisdom of this measure will be
clearly seen and its benefits will be
plainly evident among the people. Col-
ored men and women will be owning

If you are a boor among your ac-
quaintances they can severely leave
you alone; you can give the cold
shoulder to the cad in the office or the
‘works: you can escape the fool in the
morning train; you can have a prior
engagement if your pet aversion asks
you to supper.
But your home people ‘are under the
inexorable necessity of living with
you. A man sometimes gets into the
habit of thinking that anything will
do for his home people. He treats
them as daily bread; he does not ex-
ert himself; he reserves his best for
outsiders.
He says he likes to be homely at
home; that is very well so long as It
‘does not ‘mean being vulgar. He says
he Ikes to be at ease in his home;
very well, too, if it does not mean
being thoughtless,
Famillarity breeds contempt. It ts
not easy to be constantly patient and
profitable and pleasant to those whom
you meet every morning at breakfast.
‘The breakfast table ts often the great-
est disillusioner. More secrets of char-
acter are revealed over the bacon and
‘eggs than over the dessert.
‘There is no severer discipline in the
world than that of the home, and most
of us go down under it in this matter
of courtesy.
Don't let us put off our manners
wherf we put on our slippers. Let us
be the more considerate when it is only
‘our own whom we have to consider.
And just because our home life is pri-
vate and 1s screened off from public
judgment and is sheltered from the re-
straint of publle opinion let us be the
more scrupulous that we may be vold
of the offense against the heart of
love.
"Behind many closed doors and drawn
blinds there Me grim tragedies, and
‘many of them may be traced to seem-
ingly trivial slackness in the courte-
sies of love.
| This 1s the rift that has made the
music mute. Take care of the courte-
sles and the grand passions will take
care of themselves,. _
‘The Desirable Guest.
The person who can talk entertain-
ingly is the best type of guest at s0-
cial gatherings, for she who chatters
incessantly 1s almost more undesirable
than one who Is too quiet, for the lat-
ter gives opportunity for other persons
to express themselves, while with the
former to say even one word is often
a struggle.
‘The balance between these extremes
1s the art of stimulating a temporary
companion to conversation, and at 10
place is {t more important to adopt
the correct attitude than at a dinner.
More than one man has been obliged
to talk so much when sitting beside
a quiet woman that he has not eaten
enough. Such conduct on the part of
a woman Is decidedly inconsiderate.
At dinners and also at formal lunch-
eons it fs a good idea to watch the
plates of neighbors, and if one person
has been talking so much as to have
fallen behind in the course it 1s tact-
fal to take conversation into one’s own
hands, giving the other a chance to
Usten and at the same time to eat.
It is not good form to monopolize
the attention of one neighbor to such
‘an extent as to prevent him or her
from talking with the person on the
other side, Often it is a temptation
when on one side is an attractive per-
son and on the other one who 1s dull,
Dut politeness makes dividing the at-
tention necessary,
If one person is kept constantly in
conversation by one neighbor at a din-
ner it means that he or she on the oth-
er side sits much of the tlme with no
one to talk to, for the guest farther
on {s certainly giving some time to the
person on his or her other side.
Wedding Reception Before Ceremony.
‘The wedding reception should pre-
cede the marriage ceremony. This is
the newest suggestion from London.
Instead of the “at home” that usual-
ly follows the society church wed-
dings, a reception that fs similar tn
every respect practically to the old
time function sbould be held on the
day before the wedding. The parents
receive the guests while the bride to be
and the bridegroom elect stand togeth-
er to receive the fellcitations of their
friends, All the wodding presents are
on view, and everything {s the same as
in the “at homes" except that the cou-
ple are not married. ‘The reason for
this new arrangement fs that {t saves
the crush at the bride’s home follow
Ing the church wedding. It 1s more
comfortable for the couple and their
Parents to have a quiet hour while
preparations for the wedding tour are
being made. Such an arrangement also
gives the bride and bridegroom an op-
portunity to slip away quletly.
Grammatical Points.
Many people make mistakes in the
use of “lay” and “lle.” It 1s correct to
say “I am going to le down.” “I am
going to lay down” fs not grammatical.
One may inquire, “Lay what down?”
“Shall” and “will” are also often in-
correctly used. Learn to say, “T shall,
we shall, you will, he will and they
will.” ‘This rule guards the switch
where most people get off the track.
“WIN" tn the first person must always
have a touch of volition, and “shall” in
the second person gives emphasix to
authority. But courtesy demands that
both authority and velf assertion be
avoided whenever ceediess. _ %

queen bnd received many requests for
pletures of herself and her baby boy,
and it Gually occurred to her that she
could satisfy the demand and make
something for charity by having the
pictures published. One picture shows
the prince and his pet dog; another de-
picts the king of Norway in bis shitt

Don’t Be Fussy.
Don't! Even if you can't try to
‘overcome’ the ‘falling for the ‘sake of
your own health and peace of mind try
to do so for the sake of the man you
will certainly render wretched one of
these days. It {s sald that no woman
has a proper sense of proportion. The
fussy woman certainly hasn't. On ber
horizon trifes loom like battleships.
She never recognizes what really mat-
ters and what is unimportant. As a
worker the fussy woman Is always a
failure. She neither gets through as
much work nor allows others to do so.
Like a high stepping horse, she {s all
action, yet makes but little progress.
Nevertheless fussiness will age her be-
fore her time.
Mra. Taft’s Dream Came True.
On June 19 next the president and
Mrs. Taft will celebrate their silver
wedding anniversary. The last event
of the kind in the White House was in
the administration of Rutherford B.
Hayes. Mrs, Taft was there as a
young girl. and ft {s on record she told
President Hayes, who was her fa-
thers law partner and her godfather.
that she would never Ye married to a
man-who would not become president,
Hayes advised her to become an Ohio
man's wife if she wished to realize
that dream.

A Remarkable Chapeau.
A new hat designed especially for
the woman who has retained all the
instincts of her savage ancestors is a
helmet shape covered with tailless
ermine and bordered with royal blue
velvet. The decorations consist of two
rosettes, each of which is made of
brave humming binds laid fat, with
‘bills meeting in the center,
i
hour. Rinse them very thoroughly and
then set them over the fire in fresh
cold water. When they come almost to
the boiling point and begin to show
scum on the surface pour off the water
‘and add fresh cold water. A better
way, if one has time, is to remove the
kddneys, put them in a new pot or lay
them aside a moment until the pot they
were cooked in has been thoroughly
washed out. Then put them back. In
order to get the strong favor out of
this meat it is necessary to remove as
much scum and blood from it as pos-
sible. Let them rebeat in water a sec-
‘ond time. Then pour off this second
water and treat as before. It may be
necessary to do it a third and a fourth
time also. When the stage 1s reached
in which the water is quite clear and
free from scum cut up one or two
‘onfons—a good sized one for every kid-
ney—one or two small carrots and one
or two potatoes. Put them Into the
water around the meat and cook slow:
ly for about two hours or until a
gravy ts formed. Some cooks add a
Uttle lemon Juice or part of the yellow
Deel of a lemon to the stew. The car-
rots and onfons may be left out and
the kidneys stewed by themselves, the
gravy being flavored only with a tiny
glass of wine and lemon juice.

then potatoes, soft spices, chocolate
and baking powder in flour, and add

fresh for a week or ten days.
For split pea soup, so good in this
cold weather, soak a quart of split pea
overnight In the morning put them
on the stove in pletity of fresh cold
water, about four times as much water
as peas. Add a large piece of salt
pork, half a good sized carrot, a good
sized leek, two potatoes of medium
size, one root of parsley, one teaspoon-
ful of thyme, one large turnip, a
bunch of celery tips, a large slice of
bread and salt and pepper to taste.
Let the soup boll all day, adding frest
water as It boils down. Strain before
serving.
A Fine Sauce.
Apples and cranberries aro very
good cooked together, about half and
half. Let a quart of the mixture cook
with about a cupful of water or just
enough to prevent burning. At the
end of twenty minutes add two cup
fuls of granulated sugar and let the
mixture cook for about ten minutes
more. Turn into molds and serve
when cold. ‘The apples seem to mel
low the berries, and the sauce will be
preferred to one entirely of berries by
those who do not like the sharpness
of the latter when cooked alone.
For the Virginia wafers that are
served with afternoon tea and other
ght repasts work a couple of table:
spoonfuls of butter into two cupfuls
of four and mix in enough ice water
to make a stiff paste. Then put the
dough on to a floured board and roll
into a very thin sheet—1t should be little
thicker than paper—and cut in rounds
with a saucer. Bake in a quick oven
on a floured pan. ‘The wafers should
have an uneven, bubbly surface and
be eaten cold. They are delicious with
@ conserve or jam.
White raisin bread made into sand-
wiches with minced nuts and cream
cheese is delicious. Cut the slices very
thin and spread one with cream cheese
and the other with the nuts. Both
should be buttered first. If they are
cut in the shape of card suits for after-
noon refreshments at card clubs and
parties they are very sightly. The
card suit cutters are kept by the house
furnishers.

While Pu Yi is the emperor of Cht-

nation yet. He is too young for that.
Some day, tf he lives to grow up, he
will sit on the throne. At present his
father, Prince Chun, is the real ruler,
acting for bis son. Prince Ohun is the
brother of the late emperor, who dled
a couple of years ago.
Pu Yi was born in February, 1906,
‘and Is therefore nearly five years old.
When he becomes emperor he will be
able to exercise but a small part of
the autocratic power by which his
predecessor ruled. China is advancing
‘and has already decided to have a con-
stituttonal government. 80 Pu Yi

CHARLES SUMNER.
January 6th was the one hundredth anniversary of his birth. At sunrise the people gathered at his grave, and at noonday and through the afternoon and on until almost midnight the meetings continued to do homage to his name.
How many men now in public office will be thus remembered and honored long years after they are gone? No one can answer that question, but themselves. Sumner said: "The only basis for fame is service."
Never did the country need Summers more than now. But "Strait is the gate and narrow is the way, and few there be that find it."—The Dally News.
SEGREGATION.
Rev. Dr. Earnest Lyon evidently knows much about segregation. He knows that he and a bunch of ministerial grafters segregated the political purse and opinion of the Negroes of New York City and dispensed it from his pulpit, and was effectual in relegating some real valuable material of the Republican Party. Yet he says that if white churches would admit Negroes to membership with equal privileges, very few colored pastors could be maintained in colored pulpits." Would he be one of those pastors who could be maintained?
Segregation is natural in any people, but it is a matter of choice. Quarters, districts and sections have been held apart by people themselves. It is a natural condition. "Birds of a feather flock together. We do not admit the right of forced conditions without the consent of the governed. But these threatened enforcements should awaken the Negro, and cause him to realize the opportunities that are in his reach, and grasp them, by learning how to do something and accumulate something. Begin at the bottom.
OUR OBJECT.
We desire to state again that the object of the Alabamian is to publish the news and help in the work of education and protection of the Negro people. Those who write up long accounts of their lives and their social standing, etc., (or get their friends to do so), and expect a great newspaper spread, must expect to pay for the space at regular advertising rates. Going around in this community misrepresenting the truth does not change this rule. Negroes who feel it a disgrace to have their names on the subscription roll (as a paid subscriber) of Negro papers, should ask white editors to publish their social news and give them big write ups, or pay for it in Negro papers.—Colored Alabamian.
If it's in the Star, it's right.
Do not let it be said that your word is as good as your bond and thats' worth nothing at all. Make you word good and see how your bond will improve in value.
Doing right because it is right is not good policy if that is as far as your reasons go. You should do right because you want to be right and because it is according to Divine intention and is not merely the result of human mental conclusions. There are a lot of people who "do right because it is right" that are simply afraid to do wrongs they want to do.
—The Jefferson Reflector.
THE CÓLONIAL GUARDIAN.
New Publication In the Interest of Interracial Union.
The Hinds Publishing company is announcing its new publication, the Colonial Guardian, which is to be issued monthly, beginning with the January number, says in consequence of the growing connection between the members of the colored race at home and abroad the object of the Colonial Guardian is to voice the sentiments of such a connection, as there is no such publication extant for that purpose.
The new periodical will deal largely with the progress and development of the colored people in the United States and those in the West Indies, defending also the interests of colored persons throughout the world. Both colored Americans and West Indians will contribute to its pages. E. St. Clair Hinds, editor and proprietor of the paper, is a practical printer by trade, having had considerable experience in the business before coming to the United States.
AFRO-AMERICAN VOTERS.
Important Part Which They Are Taking In Political Affairs.
In the fight for honest elections that is now being waged by the different political organizations it is a noteworthy fact that the Afro-American is playing a large and important part, says the Portland (Ore.) Advocate. There was a time when, no matter what the manner of the election was or the man to head the ticket, if he bore the stamp of "G. O. P.", he was certain of no questions asked by his colored colleague and receiving his vote in the bargain.
But that is all changed, and now to obtain the assistance, whether small or great, of the Afro-American one must bear the stamp of honesty, capability and a near equilibrium to justice rather than the stamp of any political party or faction.
Has Taft Deserted William H. Lewis?
Since it seems a certainty that President Taft is not going to appoint the Hon. William H. Lewis as an assistant United States attorney general, as was announced previous to the election last November, there are other positions of trust and honor to which the president might assign Mr. Lewis. Some consideration is due Mr. Lewis for the embarrassing position in which the administration has left him.
PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR
MEMORIAL SANITARIUM.
Movement to Establish Such in Chicago Meeting With Faver.
The monument to establish a hospital in Chicago, to be known as the Paul Laurence Dunbar Memorial sanitarium, is meeting with encouraging support. The institution is to be a place for the prevention and cure of tuberculosis among our people. It is believed that if the disease can be taken hold of at its beginning and proper treatment secured it can be routed out.
At a meeting recently held in Bethel A. M. E. church the following well known and influential citizens were among the speakers, with the Hon. Richard T. Greener as the presiding officer: Dr. W. A. Evans, health commissioner; David Paulson, superintendent of the Hinsdale sanitarium, and the Rev. Dr. D. P. Roberts, pastor of Bethel church.
One of the most helpful features about the whole movement is that it has the support of a large number of some of the leading white citizens of Chicago, who are deeply interested in the effort of members of our race to put in operation such an institution. The public generally is also interested to a large degree, as was manifested at the recent public meeting.
On the board of directors are Dr. Anna R. Cooper, president; Mrs. L. Waller, secretary; Mrs. F. Turner, treasurer, and Dr. D. Roberts. Chicago has a large Afro-American population upon which to draw for means to carry out such a worthy project, and it is believed that the promoters will be eminently successful in securing sufficient funds with which to accomplish their aim.
Experiences of John Mitchell, Jr.
Colors in persons of the south vary
one can't tell who is who nor which
is which, observes the Martinsburg
(W. Va.) Pioneer Press. A few days
ago our noted banker and editor, John
Mitchell, Jr., went to Texas. He crossed
the line and was honored by the
Mexicans, but soon as he stepped back
on American soil and assumed the
role of a man he was asked, "Are you
a foreigner or American born?"
"American born," was his reply.
"Then take a nigger's place." Had he
been a foreign Negro he could have
done as he pleased.
The Way to Purify American Politics.

GREAT SUMNER CELEBRATION
ORATION BY DR. W. E. B. DU BOIS
Meeting House of the Ethical Culture Society In New York the Scene of Many Distinguished Persons Gathered to Commemorate Hundredth Anniversary of a Noble American.
By N. BARNETT DODSON.
By N. BARNET DOSSON.
The speakers at the Charles Sumner celebration held in the meeting house of the Society For Ethical Culture in New York under the auspices of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People were Mrs. Fanny Garrison Villard, Hon. Moorefield Story, Dr. Stephen S. Wise and Dr. W. E. B.-Du Bois. Dr. John Lovejoy Elliott presided.
Dr. Du Bois, whose subject was "Charles Sumner and Peace," spoke in part as follows:
My thesis tonight is simple. From the life of Charles Sumner and from his teaching I wish to emphasize the truth of these statements:
To many minds it must seem almost accidental that Charles Sumner was at once the advocate of world peace and of the abolition of human slavery, and yet the connection between the two is perhaps more evident today than it was in his time, for it cannot be disputed that the present state of the world contains certain races of men is not only an irresistible invitation to private lawlessness and public vengeance, but it lies behind nineteenth of that international anarchy which we call war. It would be possible to imagine that from the humanitarian ideal of the freedom of a particular race to the larger ideal of human peace for all the world, but this historically was not the method of his mental development. On the contrary, it was from an early and firm conviction of the horror of war and the practicability of peace that Mr. Sumner by natural, even if not fully conscious, logic came to apply the larger principle to the social war of man or man which we call slavery.
Charles Sumner began his public life by what he himself aptly called a declaration of war on war. His first great speech by which the world learned to listen to him was a declaration against war ever made, an argument which it will not be out of place to sketch here again in swift outline. It was done in 185 on July 4, the birthday of the nation, and it opened with the voice of the fathers: "Cease to vaunt what you do and what has been done for you. Learn to walk meekly and to think humbly. Cultivate habits of self sacrifice. Never alm at what is not right, persuaded that without this every possession and all knowledge of the world will be all awake. And may these words of ours be ever in your minds! Strive to increase the inheritance we have bequeathed to you, bearing in mind always that if we excel you in virtue such a victory will be to us. We must be happy and happy. In this way you may conquer us. Nothing is more shameful for a man than a claim to esteem not on his own merits, but on the fame of his ancestors. The glory of the fathers is doubtless to their children a most precious treasure, and to their children a most precious treasure, the next generation and without addition is the extreme of ignominy."
With this beginning Summer asked: "What is national honor and glory? Is it the rape of Mexico or the browbeating of England? Can there be," he, cried, "in any war that is not dishonorable? To be sure, we bewilder the imagination of the child with the glamour of war, but war is simply a habit, a custom, a trial by combat as illogical as any that ever disgraced the childish middle age of the world." Ladies and gentlemen, Charles Summer lived to teach us that after thousands of years of the debauchery of blood and iron world peace is not coming at the waving of a well gloved hand. It is going to cost something to realize a world peace, and it is going to cost you something. The reason is clear. Peace comes only by submission of will to will. Now, submission may be brought about in many ways—by persuasion, by reasoning or by knocking your opponent on the head with a club—and the picture of world peace that floats before many a diettent's eyes will be the same. We must mit meekly and quickly to their own ideas without the cost of war.
Consider, for instance, as Charles Sumner was willing to consider, the plight of the black man in the United States. Are we by slavery and caste going to force them to be slaves? Are we doing anything we wish them and then call that peace? Are they human beings to be reasoned with and taught and persuaded or are they to keep the attitude of the conquered and the enslaved? In other words, is it worth while to bother with the opinions of others? But if to you, as to him, the vision of peace on earth is so vast and starry a thing that the very air of its overhanging heavens means good will toward men, the disposition to listen to the wants and desires and ambitions of men not because they are men, but because they are men, begotten of the same father and heirs to the same wide world—unless in this way and in this spirit you can dare on earth the democracy of all races and classes and seek to rule, if rule you may, by reason and persuasion and not by the power of advocates of peace, but fomenters of blood and war and misery.
Amey yet has not the event proved the absolutely impregnable position of Charles Sumner in the matter of human freedom and rights? The same spirit that condemned black men in 1850 to perpetual slavery was the spirit that forced the Russo-Japanese war, that is making China an armed camp and that is saying to every black poets on behalf of the black poets on he recognized as a man he has got to fight.
In the memory, then, of this good man, who hated war and slavery with perfect hatred and in so doing did well even though it cost him health and social peace and even life itself—in his memory may not we who believe in peace fight education the race prejudice which is the cause of war?
