Come, Let Us Reason Together, Is Ipsé Dixit of Militant Leaders. Pittsburgh.—A large mass meeting of colored people was held in Washington park auditorium July 4 under the auspices of the Interdenominational Colored Ministerial association of Pittsburgh and vicinity for the purpose of expressing indignation concerning the recent decision of the United States supreme court. The meeting adopted resolutions calling the colored people throughout the country to co-operate in a general movement to procure adequate protection against the many wrongs from which the race suffers. The meeting was presided over by the Rev. W. L. Lee, D. D., pastor of the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church and president of the Interdenominational association. Rev. P. A. Scott, D. D., pastor of the Wylie Avenue A. M. E. church and president of the Methodist ministers' conference of Pittsburgh, was chosen secretary. Most eloquent and instructive addresses were delivered by Dr. J. H. Dwelle of Braddock, Pa., Attorney Robert L. Vam and Dr. Israel S. Lee of this city. In all these addresses the growing discrimination against the Negro, the awful cruelties perpetrated upon him in all parts of the country and the spirit that actuated the decision of the supreme court were condemned in the strongest terms. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted by the large and enthusiastic gathering: Whereas, The supreme court of the United States recently handed down a decision declaring the fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States of America, known as the civil rights bill, to be unconstitutional and therefore void, a decision calculated to serve notice upon the Afro-American of the United States of America, to affirm the powers that to deprive the American Negro of all his rights and privileges, benefits and immunities contemplated in the scope of American citizenship, such as are enjoyed by members of other race varieties, from whatever shores they may inhabit, because they afford and in the absence of any contribution whatever to the best good of the body politic of this nation; and, Whereas, It is plainly to be seen that this decision belongs to the same family of the many serpentine acts of legislation and judicial decisions, acts of discrimination and other brutalities and the characterize the dominant race in its attitude to and treatment of the Negro; and, Whereas, It is our belief that we have exhausted all the resources at our command in our efforts to appeal to the highest reason and sense of justice of the American people, with a view to securing, in a measure at least, our constitutional rights as American citizens, but as well as American people. Whereas, The American people are not lacking in evidence as to the merits of our claim to the fullest enjoyment of every privilege and benefit guaranteed by the constitution of the United States to every American citizen, in the face of which facts their persistency in the untoward treatment of the Afro-American population of such other construction that of a subtle oppression and in constant humilate, crush and, in ordinary words, to reduce him to the condition of a thing rather than a man; therefore be it Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that the time has fully come when the Afro-American should rise up and speak out plainly to the American people to the effect that they may know in the fullest sense of the term, whether others will concede it or not. At least four times greater a per cent of us than of any other racial branch of American citizens can trace our ancestry back at least ten generations on American soil. That we know our rights as citizens under the constitution and gardices of any subsequent amendments, and that we here serve notice on the American people that we shall demand our rights under the constitution of the United States, and that we will accept nothing short of their fullest recognition and bestowal. For these we propose to contend to our rights for longer periods of time, to tamely submit any invasion upon our rights, nor do we propose to suffer and die individually and in periods and communities, states or sections that suit the prejudices and caprices of any; but, rather than be deprived of our liberties and rights, we propose to die. We it further resolved, That his mass meeting create a committee to communicate with our people in the several states of this Union with a view to holding a great mass meeting or convention in Washington to be composed of at least two delegates from each state, to be held at such time and in such manner as may hereafter be agreed upon. The following committee was elected to carry forward the provisions of the foregoing resolution: Revs. I. S. Lee, D. D.; W. D. Clinton. M. D.; C. D. Patterson. D. D.; W. L. Lee. D. D.; P. A. Scott. D. D.; J. H. Dwelle. D. D.; G. B. Howard. D. D.; Attorney R. L. Vann and Mr. R. D. Putney. Activity Among Local Business Men. State business leagues in the various sections of the country have been greatly encouraged recently by the appointment of the Hon. Ralph W. Tyler as national organizer for the national organization of which Dr. Booker T. Washington is president. Each local league will send delegates to the annual meeting to be held in Philadelphia, Aug. 20. THE HEMANS-HOWARD AFFAIR Fun Poked at Howard's Color Line Bill by a Lawyer. The full text of the letter which Attorney Charles H. Hemans recently sent to Representative William Schley Howard, author of the bill to separate white and colored passengers on the street cars in the District of Columbia, which created such a stir among Afro-Americans in Washington, is given here as follows: Hon. William Schley Howard, House of Representative Washington, D.C., Sir-I noticed an article in the Washington Times last week stating that you had introduced in the house of representatives a bill drawing the color line on trolley cars in the District of Columbia. I heartily commend your attitude and endeavor, but I must say that your bill does not go far enough. It should also contain a provision allowing the police to be involved in the police court of the District of Columbia for any colored person to be served in white drug stores or other stores, or to be treated by white physicians, or, where their liberty or property rights are involved, to be served by white lawyers. We will amend your bill in accordance with the above suggestions. I think it would serve the intended purpose and keep both races apart in every material respect. I think that if segregation laws are to be brought about by congressional legislation for the District of Columbia they ought not to be half cocked affairs. In all the heavy Negro states the laws prohibit intermarriage between the races, and even marriage between the public sentiment is pronounced and unmistakable. There are about 2,000,000 mulattoes in the United States, which number is daily increasing by reason of the illicit intermarriage of white women, to say nothing of the 200,000 or more octoorons and quadroons who perhaps have not clandestinely passed over segregation laws and were adequate segregation laws we would not have to look upon that baleful affair. Florida Federation of Women's Clubs. The annual meeting of the Florida State Federation of Women's Clubs recently held in Gainesville, Fla., was the most profitable in its history. The tour of Mmes. Booker T. Washington and H. L. Dorrah through the state in the interest of the various features of work in which women are engaged is said to have greatly benefited the members of the organization. Mrs. E. J. Colyer was elected president of the State federation. The meeting for 1914 will be held in Tampa, and the federation will be the guest of the Tampa clubs. Pickens Lauds Afro-American Women. In his address to the graduating class of nurses of the Provident hospital training school in Chicago recently Professor William Pickens said: "Those who know the colored race know that the virtuous colored woman's name is legion and that her ranks are increasing. It seems almost absurd to feel the necessity of saying so, but the boldness of those who slander her elicits the defense. She has honored her sex by proving the virtue of womanhood as few groups of women in the history of the world have ever had the privilege of proving it. She has run the gauntlet of a double fire and delivered the destinies of a race." California Women's Clubs Meet July 29. The seventh annual meeting of the California State Federation of Women's Clubs will be held in the Fifteenth Street Methodist church in Oakland for three days, beginning Tuesday morning. July 29, at 10 o'clock. Mrs. E. V. Morley, president of the federation, says that the annual conventions of the organization are great sentiment molders. They teach our people to be judicious, cautious, wise and persistent in all things which make for mutual benefit. Such gatherings also encourage the women of the race to acquire knowledge in literature, art, science, business and the art of home building. New England Women Hold Big Meeting The woman's convention connected with the New England Baptist missionary convention recently held in Washington, Mrs. E. B. Holland president, was well attended. Reports showed that the women have had a most successful year. The women donated $150 to the convention proper, to be used for the various objects as it sees fit. The receipts of the women's department were over $400. Several new bodies were added to the women's department from the states represented under the enlargement of the convention. SMOKE THE RELIABLE SO SIGHT DRAFT CIGAR EXPOSITION TO SHOW ADVANCE Personnel of Commission Appointed by Governor William Sulzer Bespeaks Success For Qoming Exhibition of Race Progress to Be Held in New York In October. New York.-The commission appointed by Governor Sulzer of New York in accordance with the provisions of a law recently enacted in that state to provide for a fitting celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation is particularly fortunate in the quality of its personnel. The nine members of the commission have been drawn from among the most influential and representative colored men of the state, a fact which is particularly interesting as showing the white man's growing belief in the colored man's executive ability and capacity for organization. The chairman of the commission is Robert N. Wood, the recognized leader of the United Colored Democracy, whose influence with the present administration and legislature was in no small measure responsible for the successful issue of this and that other effort to secure equal opportunities for the colored man's social uplift in New York—the bill creating a colored regiment of militia. The scope of the exposition is not limited to New York, but will cover the progress of the race generally. For this reason persons in other states will be invited to take part. The commission seeks to make this exposition distinctively and impressively educational. There will be, as little as possible of the country fair type of exposition. The commission rather stresses the conferences and congresses on the religious, economic and other important aspects of the problem of the advance of the race. A special feature of the exposition will be the series of pageants illustrating historically the progress of the Negro from the remotest times, his migration to the new world, and so on down to and since his emancipation from slavery. In addition to this, special departments of art, literature, inventions, etc., will be placed in charge of competent persons well informed in their respective branches. The commission is to prepare a roll of honor of 200 men, selected by their fellows as being really representative leaders of the race. The exposition will cover the last ten days of October, and three of these will be called respectively governor's day. Douglass day and Lincoln day. SAMUEL COLERIDGE-TAYLOR. Friends of Composer of International Fame Honor His Memory. According to the London Evening Standard, a stone has been erected at Bandon Hill cemetery, Croydon, over the grave of Mr. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, the world famed Anglo-African composer, with the following inscription, written by Mr. Alfred Noyes: "In memory of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, who died on Sept. 1, 1912, at the age of thirty-seven, bequeathing to the world a heritage of an undying beauty. His music lives. It was his own and drawn from vital fountains. It pulsed with his own life, but now it is his immortality. He lives while music lives. Too young to die, his great simplicity, his happy courage in an alien world, his gentleness, made all that knew him love him. "Sleep, crowned with fame, fearless of change or time. Sleep, like remembered music in r'oll. Silent, immortal, while our discours clim To that great chord which shall resolve the whole. Silent with Mozart, on that solemn shore. Secure, neither waves nor hearts can break. High Honor For Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois. The Silver Aid association in Pittsburgh is an organization of wives of ministers and has for its object mutual help to its members and the cultivation of social friendliness. At a recent meeting the association decided to read as a study the works of Dr. W. E. Burgardt Du Bois, editor of the Crisis Magazine and director of the bureau of publicity for the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People. READ THE STAR-IT'S NEWS. JOHN B. HARRIS North Carolina Medical Association Holds Fine Session in Newborn. Wilson, N. C.-At the recent meeting of the North Carolina Medico-Pharmaceutical and Dental association, held in Newbern, which had the largest attendance and most interesting sessions in its history, there was pronounced enthusiasm when Dr. F. S. Hargraves of Wilson offered a resolution to the effect that the state association extend an invitation to the National Medical association to hold its annual session for 1914 in the city of Raleigh. This resolution was unanimously passed and in every section of the state members of the various professions and prominent citizens are manifesting such an interest in the movement that it is already conceded that if the invitation is accepted the national body will receive one of the greatest receptions in its history. Dr. Hargraves is especially known throughout the state for his ability and civic pride. He is regarded as one of the most progressive young men in the profession and is highly esteemed by all classes of citizens of both races. An attestation of such a fact is the new Wilson hospital and tubercular home, now in course of erection. This institution will meet a very urgent need of the race in this section. White citizens of Wilson have subscribed over $9,000 for the hospital and farm. The hospital is centrally located, and the farm is two miles from the city. Some of the leading medical journals and the press have highly commended this movement, given birth in the fertile mind of Dr. Hargraves. The president of the movement is one of the most substantial and progressive Afro-American citizens in the country. Professor Vick is a graduate of Lincoln university and has done more for the procuring of decent homes for all classes of Afro-Americans in this section of the state than any other Afro-American in North Carolina. He is nationally known for his broadness and philanthropic endeavors. Professor Vick, who is a capitalist, is heartily in sympathy with the effort of the Medico-Pharmaceutical and Dental association to bring the National Medical association to Raleigh next year. SPECIAL FEATURE DAYS FOR BAPTIST CONVENTION. National Organization Now Engaged In Work For Jubilee Meeting. Nashville, Tenn.—Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons, which dates are Sept. 18, 19, 20 and 21, are set apart as special days at Greenwood park, this city, in which special attention will be given to the throng of visitors who will be here attending the celebration of fifty years of freedom to be held in connection with the national Baptist convention. Confirmation of these days has already been made, and the arrangements for the installation of the exhibits, as well as for handling the crowds to and from Greenwood park, are going on a pace. It is understood at the headquarters that it will facilitate the handling of the exhibits if the commissioners from the various state conventions will instruct every one to send their exhibits plainly and legibly marked. While Mr. Henry Allen Boyd and his force of workers will be ever on the alert to see that the displays are properly arranged, the director can be materially helped by the marking of these exhibits before they are shipped, as the plan is to return them to their owners immediately. There will be much appreciation by the promoters of the exposition if the general public will take an interest in the scope of knowledge that these fifty years of jubilee will give the public, declares Mr. Boyd, who said he was confident that Dr. E. C. Morris, the president, would soon come to Nashville to further consummate the plans for the coming celebration. GREAT UPLIFT IN EDUCATION Fourth Annual Chautauqua at National Religious Training Institution Inspires Hope and Renewed Confidence in the Wise and Effective Leadership of Dr. James E. Shepard. BY GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Durham, N. C.—This city is again an animated scene occasioned by the fourth annual summer school and Chautauqua of the National Religious Training school. As a great tobacco center Durham is known throughout the country. Among Afro-Americans it is especially known because of one of the greatest economic movements among them having been successfully launched here—one of the most successful movements among our people anywhere in this country. The North Carolina Mutual and Provident association is a synonym for hustle and ability to create animating ideals. Not alone have these two concerns made Durham the cynosure of the world, but an educational center. Although of a few years' existence, they have created a kind of individualism in educational circles that cannot be defined by a short phrase. It has met a peculiar need among the masses in this section. These institutions have combated and have triumphed in the fight for ideals which will never die as long as there are men of the type of their founders. These institutions represent the birth of an idea for the development of our people that cannot be discountenanced. A conception that has been employed by many—that a certain phase of education is only conducive to the best development of the race—has, in a measure, been discounted to quite a degree by this movement. The National Religious Training school has certainly caused a deep awakening of "race consciousness." This fact cannot be denied, said a REV. DR. E. M. BRAWLEY. prominent educator. The Chautauqua has given the race a new lease of life and is to the Afro-American what Winona and Northfield are to the white people. Events at this institution are of far-reaching effect. It has animated thousands by its own special gifts by the expressions of a group of collective ideals revealed by such characters as Drs. Du Bols, Kelly Miller, D. Webster Davis, Moore of Howard university; Dr. W. Y. Chapman, the great pulpteer and lecturer; Dr. E. M. Ebawley, pastor of the White Rock Baptist church and one of the ablest pulpteers and religious writers in the country and a prominent educator. The common effort of this class of men and such pedagogues as Professor Charles H. Boyer and religious and social workers as Dr. John E. Ford of Jacksonville, Fla., has sharply caused a consciousness on the part of hundreds that have been inspired by them at this Chautauqua that the young colored Americans especially are developing their gifts and are conscious of their individuality. Because of such each summer there comes to this city a class of people that take in the kind of cult re, combined with ambitious striving, that makes Durham a concrete force in racial uplift. Here people of kindred aspirations and larger hopes congregate for six weeks each year for the betterment of conditions among Afro-Americans, and this year there is no exception to the past events at the summer school. The lectures are up to the standard. The lectures of Dr. Brawley have also created an encouraging interest among the people in the city, he being a brilliant and logical thinker, and very definitely expressing the facts that are conducive for development. He is a potent factor in the activity of the Afro-American, especially in North Carolina. Louisiana Baptist State Convention. The annual meeting of the Louisiana Baptist state convention will be held in Monroe, La., beginning July 30, closing on Friday, Aug. 1. The Sunday school department will begin its session on Monday, July 28. Public Enjoy Independence Day Exercises at Berenan Baptist Church. Brooklyn. — Following a custom of ten years' standing, a most helpful, patriotic and educational public meeting in observance of independence day was held on the lawn of the Berean Baptist church in this city July 4. The movement had its inception in the movement and industry of the Rev. Dr. L. J. Brown, founder and for twenty-two years pastor of the Berean Baptist church. Dr. Brown was impressed with the idea of such a service where the people might enjoy themselves to better advantage than at the crowded resorts near the city. On the large campus of the church they would be free from the danger of firebrands and undesirable associations. The pastor's idea is correct, and the people are giving him great credit for his personal interest in their welfare. The exercises were held under the auspices of a committee of 100 citizens and were presided over by Dr. Owen Meridith Waller, M. D. The introductory remarks of the presiding officer were most timely and were in a large measure responsible for the trend of thought enunciated by the speakers which followed. Dr. Waller is nothing less than the kernel of common sense and practical to a fault in matters of public moment. He is therefore rapidly coming into leadership because of his manifest interest and deep concern for the advancement of the race. The Rev. N. Peterson Boyd, rector of St. Philip's P. E. church, was the first speaker. The general topic for discussion was "Race Prejudice In a Republic." Dr. Boyd cited many instances of race prejudice within his own race, showed its baneful effect and suggested a remedy for wiping it out. The Declaration of Independence was read by N. Barnett Dodson, who was followed by Lawyer James L. Curtis of New York city, the principal speaker of the afternoon. Counselor Curtis was earnest and logical in the discussion of the subject and made it plain that there was enough prejudice from without to engage the attention of the whole race to combat its influence and effect upon our people without having to fight prejudice within our own ranks. Attorney Francis F. Giles of this city made the closing remarks, which were full of wisdom and common sense. Dr. Brown was much pleased with the program. Dinner was served to the speakers at Dr. Brown's private table, while refreshments were sold to the public on the lawn. The young people enjoyed themselves with ball playing and games. Much good will result from the sound advice of the speakers if put into practice. Optimism was the keynote of the celebration, as the speakers outlined the possibilities of the race to rise through union and co-operation along all lines. Verdict For Widow of Waverly Carter. The action brought by Mrs. Mary B. Carter, widow of the late Waverly Carter, against one Charles B. Blitt, Jr., charged with being responsible for her husband's death, was decided by a jury in part 5 of the supreme court in New York city by awarding Mrs. Carter a verdict for $5,000 on Tuesday, June 17. Blitt was charged first with the murder of Waverly Carter, but was acquitted. Mrs. Carter afterward entered a civil action against Blitt, with the result as above stated. Mrs. Carter was represented at the latter trial by Attorney Wilford H. Smith. Charles B. Blitt, Jr., is said to have been press agent for former Police Lieutenant Becker, who is now under death sentence in the prison at Sing Sing, N. Y., for the murder of Herman Rosenthal in the fall of 1912. Physicians to Meet In Nashville Aug. 26 The Rock City Academy of Medicine and Surgery in Nashville, Tenn., will have as its guest from Tuesday, Aug. 26, to Thursday, Aug. 28, the National Medical association. Physicians, dentists and pharmacists compose the membership of the latter organization. Much interest is being aroused in the coming meeting by members of the profession throughout the states.

Hargraves ‘of Wilson offered a resolution to the effect that the state association extend ‘an invitation to the National Medical association to hold its annual session for 1914 in the city of Raleigh. Tule resolution was unanimously passed and in every section of the state members of the varlous profes: sions and prominent citizens are mant ‘festing such an interest in the move. ment that it Is already conceded that if the invitation is accepted the nation: ‘al body will receive one of the great ‘est receptions in its history. —Dr. Hargraves ix especially known ‘throughout the state for his ability and civic pride, He is regarded as one of the most progressive young men in the Profession and ts bighly er.wemed by ‘ll classes of citizens of both races An attestation of such a fact ts the new Wilson hospital and tubercular home, now in course of erection. ‘This institution will meet a very urgent need of the race in this sec: ton, White citizens of Wilson have subscribed over $9,000 for the hospital and farm.

GREAT UPLIFT — IN EDUCATION Busy Period For Sumer School | In Durham, EMPLOYS CAPABLE FACULTY Durham, N. G.—This city is again an animated scene occasioned by the fourth annual summer schoo! and Chau. tauqua of the National Religious ‘Training school. As a great tobacco center Durham 1s known throughout the country. Among Afro-Americans it 1s especially known because of one of the greatest economic movements among them having been successfully launched here—one of the most suc- cessful movements among our people anywhere In this country. The North Carolina Mutual and Provident association Is a synouym for bustle and ability to create ani- mating {deals. Not alone have these two concerns made Durham the cyno sure of the world, but an educational center. Although of a few years’ ex. istence, they have created a kind of Individualism fn educational circles that cannot be defined by a short phrase. It has met a peculiar need Among the masses in this section. ‘These institutions have combated and have triumphed In the fight for Ideals which will never die as long as there are men of the type of thelr founders. ‘These institutions represent the birth of an idea for the development of our people that cannot be discountenanced. A conception that has been employed by many—that a certain phase of edu- cation is only conducive to the best development of the race —bas, in a measure, been discounted to quite a degree by this movement. The National Religious ‘Tratning school has certainly caused a deep awakening of “race consciousness.” This fact cannot be denied, said a ee Be ok Rie ae \ ey Ue oar: Cee ae prominent educator. The Chautauqua ‘has given the race a new lease of life ‘and is to the Afro-American what WI. nona and Northfield are to the white people. Events at this institution are of far. reaching effect. It has animated thou- ‘sands by Its own special gifts by the expressions of a group of collective ideals reverted by such characters as Drs. Du Bols, Kelly Miller, D. Web- ster Davis, Moore of Howard univer- sity; Dr. W. Y. Chapman, the great pulpiteer and lecturer; Dr. B. M. Brawley, pastor of the White Rock Baptist church and one of the ablest pulpiteers and religious writers in tho country and a prominent educator. ‘The common effort of this class of men and such pedagogues as Profes- vor Charles H. Boyer and religious and social workers as Dr. John B. Ford of Jacksonville, Fia., has sharply caused consciousness on the part of hun- dreds that have been inspired by them at this Chautauqua that the young col ored Americans especially are develop- Ing thelr gifts and are conscious of thelr individuattty. Because of such each summer there eomes to this city a class of people that take in the kind of cult.re, com- bined with ambitious striving, that makes Durham a concrete force in racial uplift. Here people of kindred aspirations and larger hopes congre- Gate for six weeks each year for the betterment of couditions among Afro- Americans, and this year there is no exception to the past events at the PRS LAR LRA The lectures are up to the standard. The lectures of Dr. Brawley have also created an encouraging interest among che people in the city, he being a bril- Want and logical thinker, and very def- Initely expressing the facts that are conducive for development. He is a votent factor In the activity: of the: Afro-American, especially in Noeth Narolina.

PATRIOTIC CELEBRATION. Public Enjoy Independence Day Exer- cises at Berean Baptist Church. Brooklyn, — Following a custom of ten years’ standing, « wost helpful, pa- triotic and educational public meeting In observance of Independence day was held on the lawn of the Berean Baptist chureh in this city July 4. The movement had Its Inception in the thrift and Industry of the Rew Dr. Le J. Brown, founder and for twenty-two years pastor of the Berean: Baptist chureb. Dr, Brown was Impressed with the Idea of such a service where the peo- ple might enjoy themselves to better advantage than at the crowded resorts near the city. On the large campus of the church they would be free from the danger of firebrands and undesira- ble associations, ‘The pastor's Idea Is correct, and the people are giving him great credit for bis personal interest in thelr welfare. ‘The exercises were held under the auspices of a committee of 100 eltizens and were presided over by Dr, Owen Merldith Waller, M.D. ‘The introduc- tory remarks of the presiding officer were most timely and were In a kirge measure responsible for the trend of thought enunelated by the speakera which followed. Dr. Waller Is noth- ing less than the kernel of common sense and practical to a fault in mat: ters of public moment. He ts there: fore rapidly coming into leadership bé- cause of his manifest interest and deep concern for the advancement of the race, ‘The Rev. N. Peterson Boyd, rector of St. Philip's P. B. church, was the first speaker, ‘The general tople for discussion was “Race Prejudice In a Republic." Dr. Boyd cited many in- stances of race prejudice within his own race, showed its baneful effect and suggested a remedy for wiping it out. ‘The Declaration of Independ- ence was read by N. Barnett Dodson, who was followed by Lawyer James L, Curtis of New York city, the prin- cipal speaker of the afternoon. Coun- selor Curtis was earnest and logical in the discussion of the subject and made {t plain that there was enough prejudice from without to engage the attention of the whole race to combat its Influence and effect upon our peo- ple without having to fight prejudice within our own ranks. Attorney Francis F, Giles of this city made the closing remarks, which were full of wisdom and common sense. Dr. Brown was much pleased with the program. Dinner was serv- ed to the speakers at Dr. Brown's pri- vate table, while refreshments were sold to the public on the lawn. The young people enjoyed them- selves with ball playing and games. Much good will result from the sound advice of the speakers {f put Into prac- tice, Optimism was the keynote of the celebration, as the speakers out- Mined the possibilities of the race to rise through union and co-operation along all lines, Verdict For Widow of Waverly Carter. ‘The action brought by Mrs. Mary B.

In quiet moments when racial friction snot under discussion and when some specific legislation is not being agitat- ed to keep the races apart, the cooler heads—the Christly men of both Taces—should carefully meditate and Pray for a way to bring these people closer together for mutual respect and mutual co-operation, Both races are here by divine de- cree. Both races have points of strength and innate rights to life, Uberty and the pursuits af happiness. Each race may be of mutual help to the other. ‘The stronger may grow the stronger by helping all weak; the weak may grow the loftier in an at- mosphere of generosity, magnanimity, created by the strong in its effort to help the weak. We can and should come closer together in the common interests of the whole society, at the same time with due regard for the social disposition of each other. He who seeks to widen the gulf between the races is an enemy of both, pro- longs the struggle, and increases the difficulty of the problem. We are all men, that is assured. That we all have rights that each must respect, cannot be denied. That we are to be here under the same flag, with com- mon interests and a common history, for centuries to come seems to be fore-ordained. There should be com mon-sense, grace, patriotism and Christly spirit enough to make race friction less and race co-operation an everyday product, found in all parts and under all circumstances, Race friction is an injury to both. To promote it causes bloodshed, sears consclence and dissipates energy, creates an un-moral atmosphere and stifles the lofty growth of all con- cerned. With one God the Father of us all and Jesus Christ as our elder brother, the Word of God as our plat- form, the stars and stripes for our mutual protection, there seems to be sufficlent equipment at hand for a forward movement toward mutual co- operation. — Southwestern Christian Advocate.

Business League Organizer Says Race's Progress Greatly Inspires Him Greenwood, Ala.—What I have seen in the way of material progress among the colored people on this my first trip into the south has been a revelation and an inspiration, said the former auditor for the navy department, Ralph W. Tyler, now national organizer for the National Negro Business league. I have been greatly impressed, contrary to my early teaching and belief, with the fact that for the average Negro the south offers the best assurance of steady employment unhampered by labor unions and that for the Negro above the average the south offers the best opportunity for the accumulation of wealth. It is true that race discrimination is overhealthy down here; that some rights are restricted and many privileges denied. I do not for a moment condone this restriction of rights or excuse this denial of privileges. Both constitute a blot on the pages of American history. However, I recall that in many of the boasted free cities of the north certain rights are but niggarly granted, many privileges are denied, labor is scarce for the Negro, and accumulation of wealth is practically a white man's monopoly. We enjoy some rights and a few privileges up there which our brothers in the south are denied. They enjoy a monopoly of labor and an unrestricted opportunity to accumulate wealth down here which we are denied in the north. In Macon county, through which I rode, I saw 61,000 acres of farm land owned in fee simple by Negroes. There being 23,000 Negroes in this county, this is an average of nearly three acres per capita. What wonderful progress in fifty years! What a quick advance from poverty to affluence! In the adjoining county of Tallapoosa I viewed 25,000 acres owned and under cultivation by Negroes—more than two acres per capita for Tallapoosa county. I saw stores in this black belt for size, largeness and quality of stock the Negroes of no northern city can equal. I have frequently heard of individual Negroes who were reputed to own a thousand acres of land or more, but I regarded such statements, with the usual northern pessimistic appraisement, as but a myth—as the fanciful creation of the wrongly accused "apologist." On this eighty mile automobile trip I actually met and talked with at least five Negroes—Warren Logan, C. J. Calloway, A. I. Wilborn, E. H. Gamlin and one other whose name has slipped me—each of whom owned a thousand or more acres of rich farm land, with many acres of cotton, corn and grain. As I looked upon the scene I thought of thousands of my race in the north with greater privileges but less land and fewer houses, and I regretfully, almost reproachfully, recalled the lines, "Leon hath a thousand acres, not a penny I." I was in four stores owned by Negroes in this belt, two of which had upon their shelves not less than $5,000 and $8,000 worth of stock. And I was greatly impressed with the race loyalty existing down here, with the almost clannish spirit which impels Negroes to go long distances just in order to patronize Negro merchants. In Macon county A. J. Wilborn owns a two story brick building, in which is located his store with its grocery and notion stock that will approximate $5,000. E. H. Gamlin, in the same county, but about two miles removed, owns a store equal in size, carrying a stock of fully $8,000 valuation, ranging all the way from a hairpin and a pound of salt to footwear, bedwear and dainty lingeries for women. In both of these stores the stock is paid for, the pretty modern, commodious homes of the proprietors standing near rest under no mortgage, and beyond the little towns in which they live and do business a thousand acres of crop filled land bring in a splendid revenue. FISK UNIVERSITY NOTES. Trustees of the School Encouraged by Hearty Parents, Relief Fund Hearty Responses to Relief Fund. The trustees and friends of Fisk university, Nashville, Tenn., are much encouraged over the prospects for relieving the institution from its present financial embarrassment. At the recent commencement exercises of the university it was announced that $250,000 had been subscribed, of which $175,000 is pledged by the general education board, and toward the remaining $50,000 of the fund $36,000 has been pledged on condition that the balance be immediately secured. The Alumni association, students and faculty of the institution have given in cash and pledges the sum of $36,600. It is believed that such loyalty to the school as this, such heroic giving as is here manifested, will prompt others to give generously and thus save to the colored race one of the best institutions of learning for its people anywhere in the United States. Union University Confere Degrees. At the recent commencement of Virginia Union university the degree of bachelor of arts was conferred upon seven young men—James M. Bracy, Messra. John E. Briggs, James Hugo Johnston, Jr. Chandler Owens, C. M. Stewart and Henry B. Tallafro, Virginia, and Luscious L. McGee, Tennessee. Upon James A. Bates of South Carolina was conferred the degree of bachelor of divinity. The degree of bachelor of theology was conferred upon Richard H. Bowe of Alabama; Adolphina Hobbs, Richmond; John Paul E. Faramarbo, Guinea, and John E. Wright, Norfolk. The honorary degree of doctor of divinity was conferred upon the Rev. J. H. Randolph, Washington, and the Rev. T. M. Allen, Ashland, Va. TWIN CITY STAR HUMOR OF THE DAY Simplified Spelling. "There's a dead horse on Koscuski street," announced a Brooklyn patrol man, coming into the station after his day on duty. "Well, make out a report," ordered the sergeant. "Why, you make out the report, don't you, sergeant?" "I don't. Make out your own reports You've passed your civil service examinations." Mike equipped himself with a pen and began scratching laboriously Presently the scratching stopped "Sergeant," he asked, "how d'you spell Koscusko?" "G'wan. You're writing that report." An interval of silence. Then, "Sergeant, how do you spell Koscuski street?" "Stop bothering me," the sergeant ordered. "I'm no information bu seau." Pretty soon the patrolman got up elapped on his helmet and started for the door. "Where are you gain'r" demanded the sergeant. "I'm a gain'r," said the policeman, "to drag that dead horse around into Myrtle avenue."—Everybody's Magazine. Silencing the Barber. Germany Schaefer, that effervescent merrymaker of the side lines, entered a local barber shop and expressed a desire for a shave. The barber looked at him indulgently and suggested a hair cut. Germany demurred. His hair was already fighting length. "But it looks ragged," the barber insisted as he let his hand slide over the stubble. Germany sighed. "All right," he said resignedly; "gimme a shave, a hair cut, a facial message and a shampoo—go as far as you like for 15 cents!" And the barber said no more. "I left two bits with him," said Germany, "but when the brush boy bore down on me with his teeth set and a ten cent glitter in his shining eye I threw out my chest and passed him as a pay car passes a trump!"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. The following conversation once took place between two Quakers: "Martha, does thee love me?" asked a Quaker youth of one at whose shrine his heart's holiest feelings had been offered up. "Why, Seth," answered she; "we are commanded to love one another, are we not?" "Ah, Martha, but does thee regard me with the feeling the world calls love?" "I hardly know what to tell thee, Seth. I have greatly feared that my heart is an erring one. I have tried to bestow my love on all, but I may have sometimes thought perhaps that thee was getting rather more than thy share."—Life The Ready Retort. Mrs. Winfall, a society woman, always allowed the housekeeper to hire her servants. One morning, however, the mistress wished to interview the cook, who had been engaged only the day before. "What is your name?" inquired the lady. "Mrs. McCarty," replied the cook. "Do you expect to be called Mrs. McCarty?" "Oh, no, ma'am, not if you have an alarm clock."-Harper's Magazine. The Squirrel Hill blond and the Mount Washington brunette were discussing ethical questions. "I wonder if girls ever propose?" "I doubt it." "Then you think there's nothing in this leap year business?" "Not a thing. A man who would let a girl propose to him would be small enough to refer her to his father."—Pittsburgh Post. An Abandoned Story. This is the story of Peleg Oatcake, a farmer who didn't talk dialect, and John B.

Nobody would read it.-Kansas City Journal. 'Twas Ever Thus. "Pa, what does it mean when you say that prices fluctuate?" "It means, my son, that they go up and down.

Nothing to It PROGRESS OF THE ROYAL FRIENDS Notable Work of a Mutual Benefit Society. ACTIVITY OF ITS MEMBERS Thrifty Arkansas Organization Founded Four Years Ago by Dr. R. A. Williams Has Increased Its Number From Thirty to Over Two Thousand Importance of Education. Helena, Ark. — Realizing that complaints and wallings never yet made a race or nation and never will, there are many strong men in the race who are working to accomplish something for the whole race in a practical way through organization. The country is full of able, well trained men who are making good and who are being heard from. There are many who are doing great work who are not so well known to the public. The country is full of organizations, benevolent institutions coming from the brains of educated men, and these men and institutions are doing a good work. Dr. Richard A. Williams has taken a place in the front rank. He is yet a young man. He is the supreme president of the Royal Circle of Friends, which is one of the strongest DR. B. A. WILLIAMS. societies in the country both in numbers and finance. Dr. Williams is a native of Forest City, Ark. At the commencement of the Forest City public school in 1880 young Williams received his diploma, but he felt that he was not educated, but just ready to study; hence in the fall he entered the Arkansas Baptist college in Little Rock, under Professor J. A. Booker, declaring that it was his desire to be a great man or to do something in life that would count. He remained in the college and graduated in 1896 with honors. Feeling that there was a higher work to be performed by him, he found his way to Meharry Medical college, Nashville, Tenn., expressing there a desire to be a medical doctor. He passed the examination and was admitted to the college. His wonderful ability attracted the attention of the dean of the department and the faculty in general. Meharry has turned out many able physicians, and the class of 1902 is considered a historic one, because many young men of the class have won fame in their profession. Dr. Richard A. Williams is a member of that famous class. It was in May of 1905 that Dr. Williams moved his office and all of his belongings to Helena, where he enjoys the distinction of having one of the largest practices in this section of the country. During the month of August, 1900, Dr. Williams called together a number of friends and after a long conference with them organized the Royal Circle of Friends and instituted the first subordinate branch in Helena, Sept. 1, 1900, with a membership of thirty. Rapid has been the growth of the order until today there are 750 subordinates, with a membership of 21,000, and 400 juvenile lodges, composed of boys and girls, with a membership of 4,000. The order is composed of doctors, lawyers, merchants, editors, stenographers, bookkeepers, bankers, druggists, dentists, professors, college presidents, teachers, farmers, preachers, printers—in fact, every line of trade, business or profession follow 1 by the race is represented. Education is held prominent as one of the features of the order. It is believed that in order for the race to make any degree of headway it must furnish thinkers. It is maintained that a thoughtless race is a useless race, and it is also a criminal race—hence the Afro-Americans are urged to educate their children in order to make them men and women of thought. Since the organization of the Royal Circle of Friends $100,000 has been paid to widows and orphans by the endowment department. In this way many homes have been saved to members of the race. The supreme treasurer reports on hand and in the banks $30,000 in cold cash, and the society is out of debt. Mrs. Williams, who is a graduate printer from LeMoyne institute, Memphis, is connected with the printing office, which is valued at $10,000, owned by the order and from which office the official organ, the Royal Messenger, is printed. NEGRO BAPTISTS HOLD EXPOSI TION In Connection With the NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVEN- TION Commissioners will be named from Every State in the Union. A Hust- Nashville, Tenn., June 27, 1913—(Special) Unlike most religious efforts to show the growth of their denominations, the National Baptist Convention, which is to hold its annual session in this city, September 17th to the 22nd, plans to have a Jubilee celebration in connection with the convention. The entire affair will be under the auspices of the Negro Baptists of the United States. Continued and careful preparation on the part of the local committee of this city, indicates an influx of about twenty-five thousand visitors. Doctor E. C. Morris, D. D., President of the Convention, when in the city a few weeks ago, stated that the official name of the occasion would be "Fifty Years of Freedom." Unique in details and plans for the carrying out of the religious "Jubilee and Exposition will be its broadness in scope, while it will be held in different parts of the same city. The National Baptist Convention proper, is to be held in the Auditorium, while the Exposition will take place at one of the celebrated parks of Nashville, so as to offer an opportunity for every member of the race to take in the "Fifty years of Jubilee." Commissioners from every state in the union are busy at work, collecting exhibits from every section forwarding them to Nashville, that they may be arranged in such a way as to display actual growth and real development. Headquarters for the Publicity Department have been opened and clerks for the departments of exhibits, together with a committee have already been arranged and selected. From the way the citizens of Nashville are working, it is assured that the entire arrangement guarantees a complete and successful Exposition. Rev. Henry Allen Boyd has been selected by Rev. Morris to take charge of the Publicity work. STATE OF MINNESOTA, County of Hennepin. PROBATE COURT. In the Matter of the Estate of Charley Dahlman, Deceased. "Wherever any race or group of people learn to do a common thing in an uncommon way, by putting brain, skill and conscience into labor, that race or group of people is likely to solve all the problems that surround them."—Dr. Washington. WHAT CONSTITUTES A SUB- SCRIBER? A court decision has lately been rendered in Massachusetts on what constitutes a subscriber. The judge firmly believed that a man who received the paper, although he never subscribed for it, is entitled to pay. James Thompson moved, and William Robinson took immediate possession, and received and accepted a weekly newspaper that was delivered to him through the mails every week. The goodnatured editor sent accounts frequently, but no attention was paid to them by Mr. Robinson. Finally there was a day of reckoning. Robinson had received the paper for some time, he informed the collector, but he said that he never subscribed and declined to pay for it. The judge personally questioned the defendant, who said that he read and made use of it and was receiving the accounts, which were frequently enclosed in the paper. Judgment was rendered in favor of the newspaper. The judge was severe in his criticism of people who are receiving papers and do not think it worth while to pay for what they receive and make use of it as an act of dishonesty, he said one should acquaint the publisher and pay for what numbers he receives.—X.

One of the big characters of our ctvil war times was U. S. Senator Charles Sumner, called the successor of the great Daniel Webster. In the heat of the discussion of slavery ques tions, Sumner was one of the giant abolitionists and he was finally beaten unconscious with a cane at his seat in the senate, by a rebel member of the congress. In one of his greatest speeches, Sumner said: “I hold judges, and especially the supreme court of the country in much respect, but I am too familiar with the history of judicial proceedings to re- gard them with any superstitious rev- erence. Judges are but men, and in all ages have shown a full share of human frality. Alas! alas! the worst crimes of history have been perpetrat- ed under their sanction. The blood of martyrs and of patriots, crying from the ground, summons them to Judgment.” Recall of the judiciary was not urged, in Sumner's time, but had it een, it would have been supported by the truly great believers in freedom and substantial justice—Minn. Daily News, OUR MULATTO PROBLEM. “The United States has, in addi. tion to its negro problem, a mulatto problem.” Such is the suggestive statement of Prof. H. E. Jordan of the ‘University of Virginia, in an article in the Popular Science Monthly. The presence of the mixed bloods in our population is a source of perplex- ity to many sociologists. It is estimat. ed that of our ten million colored pop- ulation, somewhat less than eight mil: Mon are pure negroes. Is the fact of good or bad omen? Professor Jordan, after a careful dis cussion of the subject, both from a Diologtcal and political standpoint, reaches the conclusion that the mulat to fs on the whole superior to the ne go, and that in the presence of some two millions of them among us w« have the key to the solution of ou race problem. In the {sland of Jamaica there arc only about 15,000 whites to 700,06 colored, 60,000 of the latter being mul ‘attoes. Governor Oliver does not draw any discouraging omens from this, but on the contrary, declares the presenc of the mixed bloods “a present ad vantage and a future promise of great good.” ‘The scientist Le Bon has said thai the effect of the interbreeding be tween different races is to destroy the soul of both; but Professor Jor dan discredits this conclusion by as werting that the mulattoes of our country, as well as of Jamaica, form the most intelligent and potentially the most useful element of our colored population. ‘They are certain to increase in num: ‘ber, both by crose-breeding and be cause of the fact that the fertility of the mixed bloods in intermarriage is quite as great as that of the pure ‘strain, #f not greater. Such being the case, it is a fact to be recognised, _gwhether it is repugnant to our social ideas or otherwise, The views of Professor Jordan are interesting as coming from a man of the South, the section where the race Prejudice is strongest; and there is cause for hope in the belief expressed by him that “the mulatto is the leaven with which to lift the negro race, the best lever for negro eleva. tion.”"—Minneapolis Tribune. THAT NEGRO PRESS ASSN. Pres. R. W. Thompson of the Na- tional Negro Press Assn. has made good. Why should there be a protest against him because he is not a pub Usher? Let Thompson alone. He may have a position that may not be so dignified, but he is only President of a Negro Press Assn., and he gave what life there is to that movement, whose members are press men, prin. ters, reporters and even the devil him. self {s admissfble. Were it the Negro Editorial Association many of the “paste pot editors” would not be eligible.

Now that the population of Minne apolis is increasing rapidly, it is im- portant that the Negroes should keep pace with the times, and share in its growth. Strangers are coming in our mfdst who possess qualities, which will make it better for us, if they are kindly recelved and fairly treated. There has been among Negroes in every community a select element known as “Soctety,” which has always been a hindrance to the advancement of the moral welfare of its citizens. They often represent the original off- springs, who have done nothing, and by their extreme conservativeness, hinder the progress of others. We recognize the rights of the home etrole, but should welcome the stran- ger within our gates, epsecially in re- gard to their effort and talent. Many Fecognize no merit in others because they are not “one of us.” There is no unity among our people. Every ef- fort to bring about this has been a failure. This “Society” must be rel- egated. They are literally unable to cope with present day conditions, and, if the question is brought to a moral issue, are deficient. It should be the purpose and pleasure of leaders of the smart set, to strengthen themselves by encouraging others, who aim to do something. We are our brother's Keeper, and should encourage him rather than give place to criticism. There are some among “Society” who are far worse than those, who do not set bounds to the limits of friendship. While we believe that the home circle is sacred, and our social relations re- flect greatly upon our character; we should not fear to touch sleeve and elbow with others, who may have a better reputation in the community where they formerly lived than we have in our “Society.” There has been no leadership either socially or pol- {tically in Minneapolis. There is not & man or woman, who can say without contradiction, that there ts. Some have used others of lesser intelligence and have held some prominence but they with thelr ignorant followers have made a miserable showing. If we are to have caste, let those who desire it drew thelr circumscribed limitations ‘and stay within their circle; but if we are to have a united spirit of repre sentative Negro citizenship, we must begin now, or forever straggle along, on the outskirts of civic and moral interests, in the name of a selfish set called “Society.” THE RULE OF THE PEOPLE. The national Progressive party, ‘committed to the principle ef govern- ment by a self-controlled democracy expressing Its will through represen- tatives of the people pledges itself to secure such alterations In the funda- mental law of the several states and of the United States as shall insure the representative character of the government. In particular this party declares for direct primaries for the nomination of state and national officers, for na tlon-wide preferential primaries for candidates for the presidency, for the direct election of United States sens. tore by the people; and we urge on the states the policy of the short bal- Jot with responsibility to the people secured by the initiative, referendum and recall. ‘The Twin City Star has the or- ctusive use in this city of the Afro American news service of the Amer foan Press Asan. edited by Mr. N.

Jackson, MEMBERS IN FINE SPIRITS, Pan leet tie Gow Ponds ie Payment Due on Valuable Church Edifice, Which Carries Heavy Debt. Bishop Hood’s Compliment. By CLEVELAND 6G, ALLEN. New York.—Rev. Dr. J. 8. Jackson financial secretary of the A. M. B, Ziot church, with headquarters in Birming ham, Ala., through a noteworthy busi ‘ness deal, has succeeded in saving thi Bush Memorial Zion church in thi city from being taken over by {ta cred! tors. ‘The Rush Memorial Zion church which was built under the pastorate o the Rev. J. H. McMullen, 1s one of thi most beautiful of the Zion edifices. I ts valued at $70,000. ‘Owing to the heavy debt that buns over the church, the connection hai been giving the matter grave eoncern and it was feared by Bishop Hood thai the church would eventually go int the hands of the creditors. ‘The pay ment of $2,000 came due early in June and the creditors had threatened ti forecloss and take the church over. Reallzing the embarrassment such ¢ procedure would give the Zion connec ton, Dr. Jackson was summoned New York to consult the creditors an¢ save the conneetion from what seme: to be the inevitable. ‘The lawyers wer on the verge of entering suit agains the church when Dr. Jackson, on th strength of his reputation, satisfied th creditors to the extent of $2,000 for on week. This clever transaction save the church and the connection fron what would have been a sore embar rassment. ‘This is doubtless one of the most significant and telling business trans actions put through in recent years bs a church financier. This victory wil be hailed with delight by the Zion connection and the race throughout the country. The ability of Dr. Jacksor to save the church from embarrass ment means much to the connection ir this ctty. ‘The Rush Memorial church is 2 monument to the Zion connection. I 4s located in a district where its tn fluence is greatly needed. The signal service of Dr. Tackeon to hie chad will increase the high regard in wi he is already held by his fellow churehmen through his great ability as a church financier. Dr. Jackson has long been regarded as one of the ablest churchmen of the race and stands high in his chureh. He {sa man of great parts and is one of the most gifted preachers in the Zion connection. His powers as a preachet were never more strikingly seen thar at the New York annual conference recently held in Yonkers. Bishop Hood, the senior bishop of the connection, speaks of him as past master as a gospel preacher. The high service Dr. Jackson has rendered tc the connection has won for him the highest esteem from the board of bish ope, and he ‘s prominently mentioned as one likely to become bishop. Dr. Jackson was born in Green county Ala., and ts a graduate of the State Normal college at Birmingham. He was elected five years ago finan: etal secretary of the Zion church, and his administration has been decidedly guaeaestes: FOREIGN MISSION WORKER. Secretary Jordan Raised Large Sum ‘on Recent Southern Tour. Rev. L, G. Jordan, secretary of the foreign mission board of the national Baptlst convention, is one of the most active men of the race in religious work. Dr. Jordan is a notable figure in the Baptist church and is successful in his efforts to foster the interest of the denomination. He wields wide in fluence. not only on matters bearing upon the work of his church, but in matters pertaining to the welfare of the race. He is foremost in all movements helping the race. He bas been the means of inspiring many young men and women of the race to “nter the misstonary field in Africa. Dr. Jordan fs intensely earnest tn bis work. During the early part of the spring he made a tour in the interest of the foreign mission board through Texas and Oklahoma. He was successful on this tour, and while at the Baptist cou- vention the foreign mission board of the Texas convention contributed $1, ‘500 to the support of the work. Dr. Jordan was pleased with the en- thuslasm of the connection seen while fn these states and made the statement that Baptists were awakening to thetr Tesponstbilities of thelr less fortunate brethren in Africa as never before.
