SOUTHERN MAN'S MISSION NORTH Joseph C. Manning Makes Great Speech In Cambridge POWER OF PUBLIC OPINION Noted Agitator and Defender of Human Rights Says Colored Citizens In North May Yet Be Instrument Through Which Liberty Shall Come to Both Races In the South. Boston.—In explaining his mission in the north the Hon. Joseph C. Manning of Birmingham, Ala., in a masterly speech which he recently delivered in Cambridge, Mass., before a large and representative audience, said in part: For several weeks my time has been given and my efforts have been devoted to a campaign of publicity in the New England states, having in view no other purpose than that of doing my utmost to cause those who hear and those who read my addresses to become possessed with facts relating to southern conditions which, in my opinion, the country is entitled to have and which the country might not have, perhaps, if it were left to some other time or to some other person to take up this work. My object in inaugurating this campaign in this section you will very readily perceive when I say to you that what I seek to do is to arouse the north to the conditions in the south as the first and best possible thing to do to force discussion upon the south. What I say in the north is not only heard in the north, but it goes into the south. Public opinion is, after all, the creative and the sustaining force in our government. We must rely upon public sentiment and we must appeal to public sentiment, to the intelligence and to the conscience of the American people, if we would uphold the right and restrain the wrong. Hence my presence here this evening to give voice to facts which I believe fully justifies this fight that I am making to cause this southern situation to have a foremost place in political discussion in this country at this time. There has been, I grant you, an indifference to the issues arising from the south for many of these in recent years, but the American people will become astounded at the consequences growing out of this indifference when the country does come to an intelligent grasp of the present situation. Hinton Rowan Helper, in that wonderful book, "The Impending Crisis," gave to the country striking facts about the repressed south in his time, the south of slavery, but never did the slave owning planter, the political and social aristocracy, more masterly drive the majority of whites and repress all else before its arrogant authority as does this present regime in the south overpower and overcome and overawe human rights and human liberty. Can it be true that the colored race is so dull to its power to create public sentiment, through its power to exercise its strength in the north as a restraining force against the oppression of their race in the south, that it can be thus quieted to acquiesce in the disfranchisement and lynching of their people in the south by the mere appointment to federal office of a colored man? It is an insult to every intelligent colored citizen in this country to suppose for a moment that a federal appointment would offset their just protestation as against this indifference to the wholesale disfranchisement and brutal lynching of their race. I do not wish to be considered in the attitude, either, of making an attack upon the president. It is my opinion that the attitude of the president to the Negro people will be the same as is his attitude to other people in this country when the president has become convinced that the Negro in this nation is yearning not for federal jobs, but for his political rights under the American constitution and for the protection of the liberty and life of his race in the south. It may be, under Providence, that the Negro of the north, some of them up from the oppression of serfdom in the south, may yet come to exercise a peaceful influence in helping to bring a full fruition of liberty to the south and that the colored man shall be able to repay the white man of the north, who helped him to freedom, by so standing for justice for the south as will bring liberty to the whites as well as the downtrodden blacks of the south.

MORRIS SEES BRIGHT FUTURE Urges Patience In Working Out Problems of the Race, TIME WILL SET THINGS RIGHT Leader of a aaa Baptist Con- vention Delivers Optimistio Address ttanng cenit secure Equal By N. BARNETT DODSON. Pittsburg.—Thousands of delegates and visitors were in attendance when the first session of the great nation- ‘al Baptist convention was called to order in Luna Park, this city, on Wednesday morning, Sept. 18. The session was opened with a chorus of ‘a thousand voices, led by the Rev. N. H, Pius of Nashville, Tenn. Ad. Greases of welcome were delivered on behalf of the state by Governor John XK. Tener, on behalf by the city by Mayor McGee and on behalf of the ministers’ conference-by the Rev. Dr. H. W. Childs, pastor of the Calvary Baptist church. ‘The feature of the afternoon session was the annual address of the presi- dent, the Rev. Dr. B. ©. Morris. During the delivery of the president's ‘address Vice President W. G. Parks of Philadelphia presided. President Morris’ address was listened to with marked attention by the great throng ‘as he reviewed the work of the several departments. His recommendations ‘were timely and farreaching. Dr. Morris said in part: : I most heartily congratulate this con- vention upon the wonderful progress it has made in the sixteen years just past, 0 Progress which cannot bo fully reallzed ‘unless care is taken to consider the disor- ‘ganized condition of the Negro Baptists prior to that time. You have not only brought the Baptists of the United States together and caused them to look upon your convention as the one great central Organisation around which all smaller Baptist organizations delight to rally, but you havo succeeded in bringing under Your banner the Baptists of the world. Responsibilities of Leadership. When we think of the vast army so cheerfully following your lead in matters of religion—an army which, conservative- ly considered, includes three-fifths of the eatire race in this country—the responsl- Poe SM eS Here Pea eS 4 ee < Bee oe — - Bee ano Be cs Fi as PS Ste al : ee MN Pero eae a a a eae Pepi 255 Dilities of your high calling become ap- palling, for you are to lead not only in mattera of religion, but you are to direct fm all things which go to build up » race fust forty-six years from cruel bondage. ‘he distance which the race has come is very great, but the distance it has yet to go In order to fully recetve all the habili- ‘ments of @ well rounded race life is still sreater. ‘As ministers of the gospel and repro- sentatives of a great church organization you necessarily believe in the inspired word of God, and, looking through the heaven built lens, you cannot fail to seo ‘@ bright future ‘for this once despised Face, We believe that “Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Doth his successive journeys run,” ‘and when the reign is made complete, as {t surely will be, then you and I and all other creatures of earth will be free from the hand of the oppressor, and every man will enjoy equal and exact justice from the powers that be. It may not seem an easy matter to walt on the Lord when your ambitious spirits are clamoring for rights that are inallen- Able, yet it is far better to walt upon him. ‘When he would force the powerful hand of the Egyptian government to relax its ‘old upon an innocent and tnoffensive Face and give to it the right of self gov- @roment, a right which is due to every eeple ct serch, ne estoy au, trreciet, ‘army of frogs, which he sent in solid phalanx against the kingdom and com- let ts surrender.

In many sections of our country we are forced to bear a part of the burden in qupport of the government by the pay- mont of taxes and meantime are deprived Of the ordinary rights of citizens, forced to pay first class fare on common carriers @f the country and in return receive seo- ond and third class accommodation, but these conditions will not always prevail, and to those who would be unnecessarily fmpatient or dismayed I would ask th ‘question that Sojourner Truth asked Fred. ‘erick Douglass —"Is God dead?” “Already there ts an undercurrent senti- ‘ment beginning to assert itself which em- phaslzee that trom the very foundation of ‘government the black man had been ‘4s Joyal and patriotic in peace and In war ‘8 any class of citizens dwelling under the flag and that history is yet to: record & single act of violence committed by him 1 tho dave of slavery, when the oppor- ity was most inviting for such depra- dations. Our Relations to Civic Interests. ‘The national Baptist convention being the largest and most representative body of Negro Christians in tho world, it must @f necessity give some consideration to stvio matters. The very large number of Drominent laymen in our churches, some of them belng the leaders of the people in Yarlous walks of life, who have followed the guidance of their ‘ministers without Questioning the course pursued, are now deginning to ask, What aro tho great and powerful organizations we have helped to Dulld up going to do toward bettering the condition of the masses of the people? It has been suggested, and rightly 80, I think, that tie influenco of this conven- tion should be felt in securing for our Face such legislation and such Judicial and ‘executive action, both state and national, as will guarantee to all life, liberty and fatr opportunity as citizens, but not from narrow political or partisan standpoint. ‘The president of this convention 1s of the opinion that a standing committe of nine persons should be appointed by this organization, three of whom should be ministers and six laymen, whose duty tt shall be to study the condition of our peo- ple in every part of the country and re- rt Ite findings at each meeting of the Retiona Baptist convention, four members bt the committes to hold over and five to be appointed at each subsequent meeting. I would suggest that such a committeo be located at the capital of the nation and bo charged with the duty of presenting memorials trom this body to the president of the United States. WANT RIGHTS AFFORDED THEM BY CONSTITUTION League at Boston Says “Muskets of Daddies” Earned Them. Boston.— The Cext of the can imuee to the people at large for the fair treatment of the Negro at the conven- tion of the National Independent Po- Iitical league at Boston fs, in part, as follows: ‘The National Independent Political Jeague in fourth annual session at the citadel of American freedom, organ- ized by colored American citizens to secure for them equal rights under the constitution, especially the enforce: ment of the fruits of the war for freedom—the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the con- stitution—and to foster equal oppor- tunities for all regardless of race or color, declares to the country from the “cradle of Uberty” the following: We believe that the honor, welfare and security of this republic depend upon the abolition of race and color prejudice and color discrimination in citizenship and the life of the people. ‘We demand only all those rights and opportunities enjoyed by all other peo- ple of the iand and absolute equality for all under the law. ‘The reputation and well being of any racial class are vitally affected by the press. The colored people suffer an unfair disadvantage from this course by the ignoring or minimizing of meritorious acts and achievements ‘and the emphasizing of the color in all matters that reflect discredit. ‘The denial of the right to earn one's bread by the sweat of one's brow be- cause of race or color 1s a violation of the most fundamental principles of humanity. Nothing is more inconsist- ent than that for labor, seeking rights and control of the labor market, to draw the color line. We commend such labor unions as are open to all workers and condemn those guilty of color discrimination as hostile to the real interests of labor and enemies to mankind. In view of the extraordinary and alarming state of affairs, we demand of the federal government, in the inter- est of justice, equal rights and the se- curity of the country: First—The enforcement of the com stitution, to stop disfranchisement and Peonage. Second—The passage of a federal anti-jimerow car law for interstate Passengers. ‘Third.—Federal ald to education, with the same schooling for all. Fourth—The restoration of the dis- charged Brownsville soldiers. Fifth.—Legislation making lynching a capital offense under federal jurisdic- ton. ‘We further declare our opposition to any repeal of federal supervision of federal elections in the direct election of the United States senators. ‘We urge the colored men of the coun. try to use the ballot where possessed ag a weapon of self defense for all thelr race, to be subservient to no po- Utleal party. but to vote Independently for men and measures, using their suf- frage and making alllances with a view to securing equal rights and op- portunities for colored citizens. Colored people of America, deter- mined to have just.ce and equality in this land of our birth, saved by the muskets of our fathers, let our slogan be—agitate, educate, organize, ever re- membering that “eternal vigilance is the price of Ifberty” and that “he who would be free must himself first strike “the blow.” National Baptist Convention, A delegation of forty Indianapolis ¢olored Baptists will attend the ne- tional Baptist convention, to be held Sept. 18 to 19 at Pittsburg.

Professor Joiner’s Efforts Double @tate Ald For Noted School. Wilberforce, O.—The seventy-ninth assembly of the Ohio legislature which recently adjourned was quite severe upon most of the educational institu- tions which usually receive financial ald from the state. Wilberforce uni- versity was the only school whose ap- propriation for 1911-12 was not cut be- low that for the previous year. There aro twenty-six state institutions for which the legislature was required to make appropriations. Out of the twen- ty-six all but one suffered cuts in thelr estimates for the next two years. On taking charge in the fall of 1910 Professor A. A. Joiner installed a new and tmproved system of accounts for Wilberforce university and suggested a change in the method of submitting es- timates for the appropriations with the result that the appropriation for 1011 and 1912 almost doubles that obtained for 1909 and 1910. ‘There are four educational institu- tons in the state for which the legis- lature appropriates. Wilberforce is one of these institutions. ‘The three white colleges bad their appropriatfons more than cut in half, while the amount asked for Wilberforce was al- lowed to the last cent. ‘The special appropriations amount to $91,220.09; the pro rata of the general levy due Wilberforce for the two years will be $46,500. ‘This added to the spe- cfal appropriations makes for Wilber. force $187,720.89 for 1911 and 1912 . Some of the notable increases are as follows: The appropriation for 1910 was $8,000, for 1911, §12,000; appro- priation for industries for 1910 was $4,000, for 1911 it was $6,417.85, but probably the most important Increase, both as to amount and significance to the plant-at this time ts the increase tm the amount obtained for repairs and improvements which are badly needed upon the buildings and grounds. ‘The appropriation for such purpuses for the two preceding years was $1,800; the amount carried by the present ap- propriation for such purposes is $18, 000, or just ten times the amount which was available for the past two years. Many of the butldings are much in need of repair and much improve- ment on the grounds will be made pos sible. But the work has not all been done on the outside. Every teacher who i now recelving less than $75 per montt has been slated for an increase fo next year. R. W. Thompson as Boy Statesman. According to the ipse dixit of the Pensacola (Fla.)

Mrs, Edward B, McLean, who re cently acquired the famous Hope dia- mond, is said to have a greater inter- est in gems and metals from a sctentifia viewpoint than from a woman's usual Mking for adornment. She is said to have almost as keen an insight into mining as her father, Thomas F. Walsh, had. With him she often made journeys to the mines in Colo- rado and other places and often ad- vised him, After he established a tund for the Colorado School of Mines she gave money to the school for the Payment of the tuition of students Without means. Mrs. McLean is {n- terested greatly in philanthrople work. A New Business For Women. “There are all kinds of ways of making a living,” said a woman Gweller in a New York apartment house to her neighbor across the hall. “For instance, yesterday morning my front door bell rang, and 1 opened It to find facing me a smartly groomed, pretty young woman, who immediate- ly inquired whether 1 was Mrs. A. Having been satisfled as to the identi- ty, she haniled me a visiting card with this superscription: ‘MISS BROWN, Bpecial Representative JONES & JOHNSTON. “She explained that the object of her visit was to see why I had discon- tinued being a charge customer of the firm she represented. It seems that the young woman's position is chiefly that of a commercial peace maker, Patrons of big department stores, she told me, often take offense at some fancied or real wrong which they have received at the bands of one of the employees and in conse quence stop buying goods at the shop. After a certain number of months have gone by without a charge cus- tomer having availed herself of her credit privilege a circular letter is sent to her asking why patronage has been withheld. “Should the firm receive no response ‘to this inquiry it becomes the duty of ‘the special representative to find out ‘the reason why. So she appears at es house of the delinquent in the guise of a ‘chaser’ to smooth out the trouble if possible and blaze the trall, as ft were, to renewed patronage. Later on the matter is placed in the hands of the complaint department, which in turn takes it up with the ex- customer, __“*You have no idea how many cases of this kind we have, which could be reached in no other way,’ the peace envoy explained. After finding out that a prolonged absence from town ‘was the only cause of my loss of trade the little lady, smiling, bowed herself away, leaving me ruminating upon the many tricks of the trade.” Successward. Miss Annie 8. Peck, the famous mountaineer, was talking at a garden party in Boston about her contemplat- ed climb in the Andes. “To what,” said a girlhood friend from Providence, “do you attribute, Miss Peck, your success as a moun taineer?” “Simply to perseverance, to assi: Guilty,” the other answered. “That ts the secret of all success. A great de- partment store keeper put the idea, though, more neatly than I have done. ‘At a birthday dinner he said: “‘I attribute my success to the fact that, if customer doesn't see what she wants, I've always made her want ™ she sees.’” ‘Thauaht 1¢ Wee Cheese, ‘The serious minded girl at the sum- mer hotel bad just got acquainted with the Intest male arrival. Instead of talking about something interesting, she tried to draw him Into a discussion on ethics. He listened gravely while she discussed Schopenhauer and Kant. Finally she asked, “Do you agree with Spinoza?” He brightened up at that. “It's a funny way to put it,” he laughed. “I suppose you mean does Spinoza agree with me.

Both candidates have at times been elected and defeated for offices by Negroes— and they know the value of the Negro vote. Gov. Foss, (once a Republican) will be the Democratic candidate for re-election, and Lieut. Gov. Louis A. Frothingham, a staunch Republican who has been nominated for gover nor, is a Taft man. The League is in the limelight. Will prejudices ot principles predominate? JAP WAITERS SUCCEED NEGROES. The Japanese waiters are now em- ployed on the Great Northern Ry., dining cars and it 1s said that sev- eral more Negro crews will be lad off, as there are many Japs enroute from Seattle to take their places. It {s probable that the “travelling boot blacks” will be replaced by Chinamen. A HOUSE OF MERCHANDISE. The Taft boom should not be launched in any of our churches. If the Negro employees and friends of the administration wish to pay hom- age to President Taft and east their trophies at the feet of Congressman Stevens, they should hire a hall.

Why World Probleme Cannot Be Solved by Money Alone. In discussing the many pians and theorles which have been projected for averting war and establishing univer- sal peace John B. Bruce (“Grit") of Yonkers, N. Y., presents the following view of the stupendous task: “The real panacea for war is univer- sal justice. Establish justice and rightoousness among the nations and there will be no need for standing armies and formidable navies. It. is not in the province of any nation to establish universal peace while so many great economic, social, racial and industrial problems wait upon jus- tice for solution. “Those who now are crying ‘Peace, peace!’ very well know that there is no peace and can be none until justice dominates the hearts and minds of the nations of the earth. Human nature will have to undergo a remarkable change in order for universal peace to become a living, tangible fact. God only can bring about universal peace, and there does not yet appear to be any evidence that he is about to do so. ‘The preparations for war now going on both in this country and in Europe are not significant of universal peace. ‘The nations are adding to the quotas of thelr standing armies and vying with each other in the building of Dreadnoughts. “This is not the way of peace. It is not an augury of the approach of the millennium which a peace fund could be used in helping to hasten on. There shall be wars and rumors of war and that ‘not one jot or tittle of bis word shall fall.’ ‘The points are well taken. ‘The world will not be ready for unl- versal peace until every nation is pre- pared for it through the application of the principles of righteousness which exalteth a nation. Then universal jus- tiee will prevail in all the earth and men to men shall brothers be for a’ that and a’ that. ‘The American dollar 1s a potent force in the world today. but is not negotiable currency and will not avail in the solution of world prob- lems which can only be solved by the Almighty and which be is going to solve in his own way.” Young Men's League Donates Bibles. ‘The Young Men's league of the Con. cord Baptist Church in Brooklyn, of which the Rev. Dr. William M. Mos 1s pastor, has donated to the church 232 Bibles to be used in the pews by the members and congregation at pub- Ue worship. The league also gave the church $12 in cash. The presentations were made on the occasion of the league's first appearance in a body at the evening services of the church on Sunday, Bept. 8. Mr. Charles H. Vann president of the organization, mad the presentation address. Both Races to Live Together In Peace Dr. William J. Thompkins, in an ad- dress before the National Negro Edu- cational congress recently held in Den- ver, is credited as having sald: “We abhor the mere expression of social equality as the average white man see: it. We ask no special favors, but we do ask for a square deal to make op portuntties for men. ‘The Negro 1s her to stay. He and the white man ar tled together by location, by education by language, by custom and by blood They cagnot be separated if they would.” i OPPORTUNITY. A Negro can come to Minnesota, make a comfortable living, purchase a home, and sit under his own vine and fig tree, protected by its laws and enjoy the fruits of his labors—a life worth living. Minnesota will have a Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythians. There has been more than 1,000 de- positors registered at the Postal Sav- ings Bank in St. Paul—one tenth of the depositors were Negroes. The {tems from the classes, make the news of the masses. Read the Twin City Star, RECORD OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
