MINNEAPOLIS DULUTH THE TWIN CITY STAR ST.PAUL fective Page VOL. 4 Single Copies 5 Cents ALL RACES EQUAL, SAYS RABBI DEINARD Sermon by Rev. S. N. Deinard, pastor Jewish Reform church. Text: "This is the book of the generations of Adam. On the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him." Gen. V:1. From Minneapolis Journal The prophets and sages of ancient Israel were neither scientists nor philosophers. Yet sublime religious and moral truths-flaunt upon their minds, and have been able to improve upon. Such a sublime moral truth is that which is found in the very opening chapters of the Bible, the chapters containing the stories of Adam and Adam is the ancestor of the entire human race, and he is made in the likeness of God. All races and groups of humanity are alike, so far as they are from the progenitor, and are all equally capable with divine capacities, and powers. The old writer of the creation story is familiar with the fact of racial divisions. He distinguishes three racial groups, the descendants of the first nation, the fathomers, and the hemerates, their various branches, according to the best knowledge of his day. He knew that certain groups of human beings occupied separate territories, had different physical characteristics, and differed in speech, manner and habit from one another. Yet, in spite of it all, he claimed a common descent for them, an essential equality benacute, all the same, to the same degree equally endowed with the same divine powers of soul, heart and mind. Well do the old rabbis declare, in commenting on our text, that it contains a fundamental doctrine of Israel's Law, equal to that other basic precept, that it love thy neighbor as thy wife. Essential Unity and Equality. Man is essentially the same, no matter in what racial, national or religious group we may find him. His soul, his female powers of heart and mind, are the same; his capacity for progress, for growth is the same. Tru, there have always been, and there are at the present time, advanced races and backward races, races that stand in the forefront of modern civilization, and races that are still found in the stages of barbarism. But the difference is that they are more aggressive and historic conditions and circumstances. The location and environment of a human group undoubtedly have their marked influence upon it. The conditions of the soil and the climate, the facilities or difficulties of communication and inter-communication, determining factors in the life and development of a human group. But the power of development, the capacity for progress is possessed by all. Change the outward conditions, and the so-called inferior, or backward, race step to the more favorable, immutable by its new activities and achievements, at least the achievements of its best elements, of its most capable and best endowed individual members. For within each group the differences and variations, physical, mental, and moral, are considerable. But the capabilities of a race or group should not be judged by its weakest, but by its strongest members. What rapid progress a so-called inferior race may make when the opportunity offers itself best shown the use of its skin, especially the Japanese, and the achievements of the black race in America after fifty years of emancipation. Pseudo-Scientific Ideas. Is the Jew of a Different Race? The frenchish persecution of the Jew during 1,700 years, and the present-day social prejudice against him that still exists even in the most enlightened human nations, are explained on such a scale as to make all other white people among-whom he lives are Aryans. These two branches of the white race differ in certain mental and moral traits; are, therefore, mutually antagonistic and are generally spoken of as two branches are generally spoken of as two branches. Their incompatibility, therefore, is social, fixed by natural law. The Jew's shrewdness, the Jew's-business meth- ods the Jew's aggressiveness and forwardness, the Jew's capacity for commerce and finance, are all racial characteristics, unalterable, inadecible. It is the French savant Renan who is the French author who is to solve the phrase, "anti-semitism" to characterize and explanation of the prejudice against, and hostility to, the Jew. He, too, based it all on racial grounds. The antagonism of the gentle world to the Jew is the racial antagonism between Aryans and Semites. What does the word "Semite" connote, anyway? The distinction between Aryan and Semite is purely linguistic. Because certain nations are found speaking kindred languages, they are grouped together in a language, the Aryan, one of the human family. The Hebrew language and the Assyrian Arabian, Phoenician, etc., being akin, those who spoke them are supposed to have been ethnically related, constituting a group of Semitic peoples, corresponding to the group of Semitic languages. The same group of grouping is applied to the Aryans. But the Hebrew language is in the Bible itself spoken of as the language of Canaan, the country which the Israelites subsequently occupied. In the Bible, the country, they adopted its language, even as all nations that come to America adopt the English language as their own. What language the Israelites originally spoke we do not know. What country their first ancestors migrated not know. The traditions on this point, recorded in the Bible itself, vary. A national group may speak a dialect akin to that of another national group, may live in the same or in conjunction with the other, not be labeled to it by block or having from the same stock. The component elements of modern nations amply illustrate that. Were the Hebrews the kindred of the Arabs, Assyrians, Phoenicians and therefore, unrelated and alien to them, so-called Aryan group. Who knows? The Modern Jew. Take the Jew as he is at the present time. What is there that characterizes him as belonging to a separate race, to a separate branch of the human family tree? Is it his physique, his philomony, his his character? The Jew is all these aspects the creature of his environment. The Jew of one country differs in all these respects from the Jew of every other country, provided they are all native to their respective soils, or, still better, have lived there for several generations as assimilated to the same passes. The Jewish type is really the people occupying the rim of the Mediterranean basin, where the Jews lived, flourished or suffered for many centuries. The Jew who has lived in Russia for many generations is compelled to assimilate to the Slav type, while the Jew of the West type, same number of generations back of him, is cast in the Teutonic mold. A great deal of rubbish is being said and written about the Jew's peculiar mentality and character. The Jew is this or that or the other thing; possesses or lacks this or that or other traits. If all the traits, good and evil, that have been predicated of the Jew were actually imprinted by nature upon some living being, there would be produced a monstrosity the like of which the world has never seen. The Jew, as a woman in nothing, nor does he fall short in any inferior. He is neither superior nor inferior. The fiction that the Jew is the world's foremost figure in commerce and finance has long been exploded. How many of America's multi-millionaires, captains of industry and heads of big business are illiterate in the language of their world's purse-strings, thus having the power of dictating war or peace, the declarations of a certain peregrinating scientist to the contrary notwithstanding. That the Jew has until now been so largely and conspicuously mercurious in entirely due to his peculiar antecedents, his unfortunate history. When all avenues of useful activity but those of petty trading and money-lending were closed to him by his oppressors, what could he do but take to petty trading and money-lending, and acquire a cunning therein that has attained to such an extent that how quickly he is abandoning them now in favor of the learned and skilled professions, useful trades and even agriculture. Has not the Jew really achieved greater results in the domains of letters, science and philosophy than he has in commerce and finance? But even here he is not peculiarly gifted. Others have done equally well. The Antagonism Religious. No, there is nothing about the Jew to mark him off as belonging to a separate race. The bond that has "united the Jews the world over is a national religious bond. They have had the hope and aspirations. Once they were a nation. When the national bond broken, and they were scattered over the world, their faith united them, and they continued to cherish their national memories and national hopes, and all other groups of the human family, and, where allowed to do so, became in all respects, except that of religion, like them, integral parts of them. In this sphere, the sphere of religion, that the Jew, as a Jew, has really distinguished himself. He has produced the longest line of prophets, preachers of righteousness, tribunes of the people, propagandists of justice and the very latest of them, Joseph Pels. Being the most oppressed of all peoples, his soul became the most sensitive to the world's wrongs, and, when gifted with the necessary power, he was the most justice and peace. But who would claim this as a peculiar racial trait? Equally, the antagonism to the Jew, at least during the last seventeen centuries, has sprung from a religious source. When the Jew was stamped before the world as the crucifer of a (Cont. to page 4, col. 3.) WASHINGTON ON EQUAL JUSTICE Many Replies Received From Railroad Officials. PLEA FOR BETTER SERVICE. Principal of the Tuskegee Institute Takes Manly Stand In Request For Equal Accommodations For Colored People on Public Conveyances Operated in the Southern States. Tuskegee, Ala.—In reply to letters sent to officials of the various railroads in the south by Dr. Booker T. Washington, in which he called attention to the deplorable conditions under which the colored people are compelled to travel on the several roads in question, the following answers indicate that a change for the better will be made in the near future: C. V. Johnson, president of the Norfolk and Western Railway company, replies as follows: "I have read your article, and I apprehend that there is some cause for criticism as outlined by you. Whether or not this applies to the Norfolk and Western railway, I am at this moment unable to advise definitely. Permit me to suggest that in presenting matters of this character to the public that it might be well to be more specific and not include all the railroads, that perhaps have reasonably well provided the same conditions for the colored people as they have for the white people. "I know that in some instances the railroads have endeavored to do this, and I further know that generally speaking it is the purpose of the executive officers of the railroads which operate in the states in which the separation of the races is made necessary in traveling to do this, and great palms have been taken and a very considerable amount of money expended to bring about a condition that complies with the law, and all should not be condemned for the failure of some. I may write you further regarding this matter at a later date." Desires to Be Fair to All Patrons. W. J. Craig, passenger traffic manager of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad company, says: "It is the desire of the Atlantic Coast Line to treat all of its patrons with fairness and to provide accommodations in accordance with the patronage received and not discriminate between them. As a southern man I have only the best interests of your race at heart and have noted with a great deal of interest the wonderful progress and development that they are making. I invite your criticism from time to time of our service with a view of correcting any conditions that it may be possible for us to do so." George W. Stevens, president of the Chesspeake and Ohio Railway company, says: "I have read with interest your pamphlet entitled 'Is the Negro Having a Fair Chance?' One hundred copies of this article have been received and distributed among the officials and in the employees' reading rooms. As you are well aware, both in Virginia and Kentucky, the railway lines furnish the same accommodations for colored passengers as are furnished white passengers, and it is a requirement that these accommodations shall be equal in every way to those furnished the white race. If it comes to your knowledge that equal service is not being given I shall be glad to hear from you personally. "In the other three states through which this company operates—West Virginia, Ohio and Indiana—segregation laws do not exist, and the Negro is accommodated in the same cars as the white race. As to employment by the railway companies the Negro is accorded the same treatment as the white man, and in some particular classes of employment is preferred to the white man. I am deeply interested in the work that you are doing and am quite convinced that it is along the right lines. If in any way I can aid you do not hesitate to call upon me." WILL Give the matter Consideration. B. R. Lancaster Williams, president of the Georgia and Florida railway, writes: "I am in receipt of yours of the 13th inst. and copy of pamphlet entitled 'Is the Negro Having a Fair Chance?' I have read the marked article and also your letter. and I am taking the matter up with Vice President Duer of the Georgia and Florida railway." C. B. Ryan, general passenger agent of the Seaboard Air Line railway, writes: "I do not feel that criticism as to the discrimination between the two races in character of equipment provided for their use in travel can justly be made against the Seaboard Air Line Our through trains are all equipped with new steel coaches. The coach for white passengers seats eighty-six people, for colored people forty-eight passengers. The facilities accorded the colored passengers are greatly within ratio between white and colored travel. The accommodations are identical in every respect. "On some of our principal local trains—take as an illustration the train leaving Atlanta for Monroe, N. C., a distance of 275 miles—the car which is used for colored passengers eastbound is used for white passengers westbound, there being no arrangement for turning the train at its destination. On some of our branch lines and some of the minor accommodation trains, where the character and extent of travel does not justify the higher class equipment, the accommodations are not as good for either white or colored, but as far as we are able to provide there is no discrimination between the two." Mr. W. W. Croxton, general passenger agent of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad company, says: "I am much obliged for sending me copy of an article recently published by you in the Century Magazine. The management of this company want to accord to our colored patrons consideration and similar accommodations afforded white travel. "I am familiar with the conditions on our lines as I spend a greater part of my time on our trains, and it is impossible for me to believe the conditions complained of by you exist on our line. However, I have referred your article to our operating department and have asked them to make investigation of conditions outlined in your article." Mr. E. T. Lamb, receiver of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad company, states: "I have read your article with a great deal of interest, and in reply thereto, beg to say that so far as our company is concerned we are furnishing the colored travelers with practically the same facilities as are furnished white people. All of our coaches used by colored people are equipped with two compartments—one for the women and one for the men, if they do not care to smoke, as well as a smoking compartment. There are separate toilets provided for the men and women. "Almost as a universal proposition there is no difference in the character of the equipment provided for the colored and the white people. There is not as much space provided for the colored passengers, but what there is is equally as good. There is sufficient space, however, provided to accommodate our patrons. At all of our stations the waiting room facilities for colored people are just about the same as for white people." "There is not a lunch stand on our road that is not only willing, but anxious to sell to colored people all they want, and at one point there is a separate window provided for colored people, and while this is not true at Manchester the same people operate the lunch stand at Manchester as at the other point—viz. Cordele, and colored people have no just cause for complaint as to their ability to get something to eat at these points." W. G. Parr, vice president of the Illinois Central company, writes: "I note in particular what you say about the railways and will give the matters referred to my personal attention to see to what extent we are derelict. I am sure, however, the matters you refer to have been greatly improved under the present management of the Illinois Central. We have had some of the other questions you raise under consideration for some time back. We abolished the 'supply train' on the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley railroad. We have stood for exact justice to our colored employees in other respects." C. W. Pidrock, president of the Georgia Northern Railway company, replies as follows: "I have yours of the 9th inst., inclosing a marked copy of pamphlet containing an article which you recently contributed to the Century Magazine, and have noted with interest what is said on pages 13, 14 and 15. For your information I beg to advise that within the last three years this company has purchased two new trains of passenger equipment to cover our regular runs between Boston and Albany, Ga., and which comprise all of our passenger trains, and particular attention was given to furnishing exactly the same accommodations for colored passengers as for white. "The cars are duplicates and contain separate compartments for colored smokers the same as the white cars. Toilet facilities were also given the same consideration, likewise ventilation, lights, etc. Would say that we at all times try to give the two races the same accommodations; but, of course, you will readily understand that there are times when we have to put other than the new regular coaches in service. Even then an effort is made to treat all alike, and conductors are instructed not to permit white people to ride in the cars assigned for colored people, and vice versa." THRIFTY CENTER OF EDUCATION How Morris Brown College Interests Its Students UNDER GOOD MANAGEMENT. Work of an institution in Atlanta With a Large Enrollment and Excellent Equipment Ranks Among Foremost Schools In the South—President Fountain's Fine Leadership. Atlanta, Ga.—Morris Brown university, with 950 students, ranks with the leading institutions of the country for the training of boys and girls for future usefulness. The commercial department is yet new. Nevertheless there have gone from it six young men and women who are filling responsible positions. The domestic science department is one of the best equipped in the city and has competent instructors. The other departments are printing, tailoring, college, normal and theological. At the head of the schools Rev. W. A. Fountain, D. D., Ph. D. who is a native of Elberton, Ga., Oct. 29, 1870, being the date of his birth. He received his foundation for an education in Elberton through the public schools, and from there he entered Clark university, Atlanta, Ga. While a student he became a Christian and joined Allen Chapel A. M. E. church in Atlanta. From Clark he went to Allen university, one of the schools of the A. M. E. church, and graduated in 1892. From Allen university, Columbia, S. C., he returned to Atlanta and took a theological course at Morris Brown university, graduating with honor. Then he registered in 1858 as a non- resident student of Central university, Indianapolis, Ind. After three years of hard work he received the degree of bachelor of divinity. After two WILLIAM A. POUNTAIN. years more of hard work at the same school he received the degree of doctor of philosophy. His degrees have come to him from actual work. He has done post graduate work at the University of Chicago and is one of the best scholars of his church in this country. Like many young men, he spent some of his early life in the schoolroom as a teacher, so that when the presidency of Morris Brown university was offered him after the death of President E. W. Lee he was prepared for the position. He has spent much of his life in preparing for the work which he is now doing so well. Bishop Flipper licensed him to preach, and it is predicted by many that Bishop Flipper will be the one to ordain him to the episcopacy. As a pastor or presiding elder he has rendered efficient service. He has served acceptably in such charges in Georgia as Bethel, Athens: St. Paul's, Washington: Turner chapel, Marletta, and has been presiding elder over the Athens (Ga.) district and pastor of St. Stephen's church. During his ministerial career he has added many to the church, paid many church debts, built churches and parsonages, the last parsonage being the one in Macon, Ga. By actual work he has made many friends, and he continues to make them. Much of his time is spent in study and fitting young men and women to do service for others. No man in the A. M. E. church is more devoted to the progress of his race than Rev. William A. Fountain. He has added much to Morris Brown university since 1911, and many have been the changes for good. The col- lege band and the military department are of much personal interest to the young men. The coming of Bishop Flipper to the district has been a boon to the school. The bishop is a former president of the college and was elected bishop from the school. He has desired to see it go forward and has entered into beaty accord with President Fountain. Flipper hall is the name of a dormitory which has been erected and dedicated to the higher development of the boys. Cement walks and stone steps add much to the appearance of the buildings. Dr. Fountain is in favor of anything that means the higher development of the race. MISS N. H. BUBROUGHS. Miss Burroughs to Lecture. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs of the National Training Schools for Women and Girls at Washington, D. C., will visit the Twin Cities on April 19th.

Mr. Frank Fisher and Mr. Preston Langley were painfully injured while acting as pallbearers at the funeral of Mr. Wm. Dew. They were cut by broken glass and bruised about the head and so painfully injured when a street car crashed into the funeral procession and wrecked an autocab in which they were riding, that they will be confined to their homes for several days. The accident occurred at Franklin and fourth avenues S. where a Fourth avenue car wrecked the auto, hurled the driver to the curb and pinned two of the pallbearers in the wrecked car. The street car was sent to the barns for repairs. The chauffeur was also hurt. J. LLOYD HICKMAN TO. LECTURE. Announcement has been made that during the month of July there will be in this city Mr. J.

DR. GILLIES VISITS SOUTH. Dr. Andrew Gillies has returned after a visit tothe Southland. His subject last Sunday was "The Future of the Black Man." He is pleased with the progress of the race in the South and says "that they are doing great work at Tuskegee, and the various schools." The Southwestern Christian Advocate says: "Dr. Andrew Gillies, pastor of Hennepin Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota, spent a few days last week in New Orleans, much to the delight of his new acquaintances as well as to friends who knew him before. Doctor Gillies says he was on a trip seeking rest, but this is how he put in his time: On Sunday morning, he preached in our St. Charles Avenue Church; on Sunday afternoon he addressed the Y. M. C. A. and later attended the corner-stone laying of the Church of the Redeemer, the new Italian Church on Esplanade avenue; at night he preached at Wesley Church, the Rev. J. L. Wilson, pastor; Monday night he lectured before the Y. M. C. A.; Tuesday noon, he preached at New Orleans University and Tuesday night lectured in our St. Charles Avenue Church. The Doctor made a great impression. He is a clear thinker, an eloquent, simple and powerful orator. The Times-Democrat gave generous space to Dr. Gillies' utterances and concerning his lecture at the Y. M. C. A. said: "Dr. Gillies' interpretation of the human nature and the meaning of the discovery of the divine spark in every man, fascinated and impressed even the most careless auditor. His style of delivery possesses great human appeal, a virile force of logic and eloquence, combined with the magnetism of unusual dramatic powers." The following is fro mthe Tuskegee Student: "Dr. Andrew Gillies, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota, visited the school on Thursday, February 26th, remaining until the following morning. He was taken into the several departments of the school. On Thursday evening at the regular prayer service, he spoke most beautifully and helpfully to the student and teaching body. His remarks were thoroughly enjoyed by all who had the pleasure of hearing him." Dr. Gillies is one of the stunchn friends of the Negro and we are proud to know that he counts among his friends many of the leading men of our race, both at home and abroad. He rightfully deserves that. respect which he has gained because he is outspoken and active against race prejudice and discrimination. During his trip he visited Gammon Theological College, and Clark Univ. Atlanta, Ga., Morristown Normal and Industrial College, Morristown, Tenn. and Meridian Academy, Meridian Miss.

The Carlings-Ryan waiters have organized a base ball club. A meeting was held last Saturday at Chandler's Cafe. Mr. Jerome Covington presided. Mr. John H. Dillingham is sick in the city hospital. Mr'. J. C. Broiles is improving from a recent illness. Mr. Geo. W. Wills, Supt. of Pilgrim Sunday School has been confined home on account of illness. He has returned to his work in the Post Office. There is trouble brewing in Pilgrim Baptist Church. The color line has been raised as a war measure. "Powder will be burned and blood spilt" says an old patriarch, who had girded on his armor. This is a disgrace, and should be stopped. "War is hell" said Sherman, and he probably never saw a real battle in a Baptist Church. Mr. Ben. Embree of La Crosse is visitig the Twin Cities for two weeks. First Anniversary of Arabia Court One of the most interesting events in secret society circles in Brooklyn for the third week in March was the celebration by Arabia court No. 13, the Order of Sphinx, of its first anniversary. The sermon was delivered by the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss at the Concord Baptist church. The court was founded by Mrs. Ella F. Crowder, a well known worker in church and secret societies, March 11, 1913, with forty-six members. The present membership is 106. A most remarkable item of interest about Arabia court is the fact that out of a membership of 106 there are only two unfinancial members. The other courts of the order present at this service were St. Mary's, Moolah, Marion and Eureka. Work of Business League Organizer. In his tour of the south and west as national organizer for the National Negro Business league, the Hon. Ralph W. Tler has greatly impressed our people with the necessity of being organized along all lines in order to accomplish the best results. He has revived interest in the older organizations and has been successful in starting new ones. He is doing a great work of uplift. Methodists to Meet In St. Louis in May The general conference of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church will be held in St. Louis, Mo. Among the important subjects which will claim the attention of the bishops and delegates will be the question of changing the publishing house from Jackson, Tenn., to Nashville, Tenn., or some other more central location than it is at present, how to broaden the work of the denomination so as to reach a larger constituency and the election of bishops. The recent quadrennial meeting of the church was held in Jacksonville, Fla. Bishop C. H. Phillips of Nashville, Tenn., presided. O. G. Villard to Speak in Brooklyn. Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, Senator Moses E. Clapp and Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols will speak at a public meeting to be held at the Concord Baptist church in Brooklyn, Tuesday evening. March 31, in the interest of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People. The meeting will be held under the auspices of a committee of citizens headed by Mrs. Alice W. Seay, a well known clubwoman and social settlement worker. The Rev. Dr. William M. Moss, pastor of the above named church, will preside. IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE. --- OLD HOMESTEAD OF DOUGLASS Why the Property Is Under Heavy Mortgage. NEW LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT Will of the Great Anti-slavery Agitator Was Not Properly Drawn—Death Defeated the Good Intentions of Mrs. Douglas—Time For Race Loyalty to Assert itself. Washington—There have been a number of inquiries, says Ralph W. Tyler of this city, as to the existing mortgage on the old home here of the late Frederick Douglass. Many cannot understand why the home should rest under a mortgage when Mr. Douglass was supposed to have been quite well off at his death. The estate of Mr. Douglass did mount up to quite a sum at his death. A defective will, made defective by an insufficient number of witnesses, caused the property to be distributed according to law rather than according to the will of the master. The widow of Mr. Douglass desired that the old house, containing a museum of anti-slavery and Douglass relics, the furniture, books, manuscripts and curios of the great orator, publicist and anti-slavery leader, should be bequeathed to the race as a memorial to her husband. To do this it was necessary for her to buy in the home from the other heirs that she might have a clear title to it. This she did, giving $15,000 for the old homestead on Cedar hill. In order to make the purchase, however, it was necessary for her to borrow money with which to purchase the equity of the other heirs. She died before she could pay off that mortgage. In her last will and testament she bequeathed the home, with all its rich and priceless possessions, to the race Mr. Douglass had fearlessly championed and served. She might have bequeathed it to her own relatives, but she choose to will it to the THE DOUGLASS HOMESTead. race with which her husband was identified. This tells how that mortgage happened to be placed on the old home of the great leader. By act of congress a board of trustees was created to have charge of the home, but it came to these congressionally provided administrators with a mortgage and without funds to even keep up repairs, the result being that the once handsome home, the once fine old estate, is rapidly passing to decay and the mortgage is pressing for payment. Several attempts have been made to arouse sufficient interest on the part of the race to pay off this mortgage and put the home in proper repair in order first to save the home to the race and to preserve the historical relics, etc., it contains, but not sufficient has been contributed to even keep up the interest on the debt. It is figured that if $15,000 is raised by the race it will be sufficient to pay off the mortgage and restore the building and estate to its former beauty and make of the home a historical and memorial site to be visited by thousands each year, just as the old home of George Washington at Mount Vernon is maintained as a historical retreat. There are fifteen acres in the Douglass estate, and it occupies the most beautiful point in all Washington, overlooking the Potomac, as it does, and being within ten minutes' ride of the White House or the halls of congress. But unless the race responds to the last appeal, and responds quickly, the old home may be lost. By the terms of the will it can be no other than a memorial to Mr. Douglass, free to the public, and consequently has no earning power. When it ceases to be that—in case the mortgage should be foreclosed—the old Douglass homestead will pass from the race. As the legal owners of this estate it is the duty of the race—every man, woman, child, church or organization, fraternal or otherwise—to respond with contributions to pay off this debt and this response should come quickly Not His Funeral.

Free Instruction on Useful Subjects Offered by Hampton Institute. The Hampton Institute, through its summer session for teachers which will be held this year from June 16 to July 14, offers colored teachers in Virginia and other states the opportunity of securing free instruction in courses leading to industrial certificates. Dr. George P. Phenix, vice principal of Hampton institute, will be the director of the summer school, which will be held under the auspices of the Virginia state board of education and the Hampton Institute. The summer school staff will include thirteen of the regular Hampton workers and the following persons: Edna L Avery, State Normal college, Albany, N. Y.; Benjamin G. Brawley, Morehouse college, Atlanta, Ga.; Caroline W. Hotchkiss, Horace Mann school, New York; Mabel I. Jenkins, Dana hall, Wellesley, Mass.; Mary E. Kelton, Ely court, Greenwich, Conn.; John B. Pierce, Wellville, Va.; Frank K. Sanders, Washburn college, Topesa, Kan; John C. Stone, State Normal school, Montclair, N. J.; and Laura H. Turner, Washington. Ambitious colored teachers have twenty-five courses from which to select their summer course of study. The industrial courses are: Chair caining and upholstering, elementary and advanced cooking, primary and advanced manual training, poultry keeping, elementary and advanced sewing. Other courses leading to industrial certificates are: American history, arithmetic (primary and grammar grades), civics (with reference to community life), English composition, geography (primary and grammar grades), hygiene, methods of teaching reading and principles of teaching. Dr. Sanders will give a course in Bible, in which he "will discuss the important problems of religious education and of pedagogy, whose solution underlies the right use of the Bible as the principal tool in the hands of a wise teacher who is face to face with the problems of social and moral uplift." Dr. Sanders, who is now president of Washburn college, was formerly dean of the Yale divinity school. William S. Dodd, who is in charge of the Hampton institute business course, will give a course in practical business matters, which "will embrace the study and discussion of notes, deeds, deeds of trust, mortgages, wills, taxes and taxation, usury, savings banks, fraternal orders, health and life insurance societies." Miss Ida A. Tourtellot of Hampton institute will conduct a course in community work, which "is intended to give a larger knowledge of Negro life in the south, to take a survey of the Negro's progress and to suggest lines of activity for the future." BUSINESS MEN REORGANIZE. Local League in Richmond, Va., Takes on New Life. Richmond, Va.-The Local Negro Business league of this city was reorganized the third week in March by Ralph W. Tylter, national organizer for the National Negro Business league. Prior to the reorganization Mr. Tylter addressed the business and professional men of the city at the Richmond Beneficial association hall, on the importance of business co-operation. The greatest interest was shown in the new organization, and the need of it was emphasized by a number of speakers following Mr. Tylter, among whom were Rev. Drs. Graham and Morris, Mrs. Maggie Walker, president of St. Luke's bank: Dr. Jones and others. Mr. Tyler was introduced by a fellow journalist, John Mitchell, Jr., editor of the Planet. The officers elected were: Mr. Floyd Ross, president; John T. Taylor, vice president; James T. Carter, secretary; T. F. Archer, treasurer, and the following executive committee: John Mitchell, Jr.; Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, Dr. R. E. Jones and W. D. Jones, Mr. Ross, who was elected president, is president of the True Reformers, and the man whose untiring energy has revived that organization and through whose efforts many thousands of dollars of debts of the fraternal society has been paid. The vice president, John T. Taylor, is manager of the Richmond Beneficial association; the secretary, Mr. Carter, is secretary to one of the largest law firms of white men in the city; the treasurer, Mr. Archer, is Richmond's leading grocer. The executive board is composed of two bankers—Mr. Mitchell, president of the Mechanics' bank; Mrs. Walker, president of the St. Luke's bank—Dr. R. E. Jones, one of the leading physicians of the city, and W. O. Jones, carriage manufacturer. It will be seen that the reorganized Business league is officered by the most progressive and substantial citizens of Richmond Following the meeting Mr. Tyler was tendered a banquet at Hotel Miller. During his stay here he was shown much attention by Richmond's progressive citizens and was taken on a visit to as many of the business houses and financial and fraternal institutions conducted by the race as it was possible to visit. In Memory of Rev. Mr. Peterson. The second monthly dinner of the Citizens' club of Brooklyn, held on Saturday evening, March 21, took the form of a memorial meeting to the late Rev. John Peterson, who was principal of the old Mulberry street public school, in New York, many years ago. The address, "Modern Education," was delivered by William L Bulkley. Ph. D. George E. Wibes is president and also the founder of the organization. The meeting was held at Raub's cafe.

Excellent Features of a School Found- ed by Dr. G. W. Kinoald. Jumonville, Pa. — Three years age Dr. G. W. Kincaid concelved the idee of founding an agricultural, mechan: feal and industrial institution in the western section of Pennsylvania ti meet the peculiar exigencies caused by thousands of Afro-Americans coming to this section yearly in search of bet ter wages. Prior to that time-he bac spent much time fo racial uplif through the pulpits of the A. M. B Zion denomination and bad become one of Zion's beacon lights and recog. nized as one of the race's most gifted orators. For years Dr. Kincaid had ¢ pronounced enthusiasm for promoting ‘an institution in this part of the state that would become a factor in the de velopment of Afro-American youths, Being a prominent character in the race's civic, religious and politica movements, Dr. Kincaid commanded the bighest respect and confidence of both races, so much so that his plans for the present institution met the ap probation and support of the better element of both races in Pennsylvania. 3 y a my tee me Pd ‘pia Sabana se enmakees and today there ts in Jumonville an ‘nstitution of real merit, due to bis character, thrift and genius, Jumonville 1s one of the state's most historic spots. General Washington took charge of the Ameriean forces on this spot after the death of Braddock. General Jumonville was killed and buried bere. ‘The school is located upon 800 acres of land, sixty-eight miles southeast of Pittsburgh, and 1s known as the Dunbar Camp Agricul tural, Mechanical and Industrial school. This excellent plant was formerly used by the soldiers and sailors’ or phan children for forty years. ‘The plant consists of fourteen buildings. with modern improvements, and there will be found a heating plant, electric light plant, pumping station and reser. volr, with hospital and a department tor training nurses, Five hundred students can be com- fortably accommodated at this fne fnbtitution, which ts" high above’ the sea level. Dr, Kincald has laid a good foundation for these departments—ag- riculture, live stock raising, poultry farm, -blacksmithing, wheelwrighting, domestic science, dressmaking, milli nery and other departments. The school receives a liberal appropriation from’ the state, and from present ind!- cations, because of the scope of the work, @ necessary development of our people to meet the conditions, it will be more largely supported by the leg- {slatube. ‘Tbe school ts an ideal spot for a summer institute because of the fresh air, pure water and other abundant gifts from nature's resources, ‘The fol- lowing distinguished men are the trustees of the school: Dr. G.

EaCoats Suits Dresses Skirts Waists, Millinery, Gloves, Hosiery, Corsets, Silk Nashville, Tenn, March 21st—At the headquarters of the Sunday- School Congress Movement in this city it was learned that the tap of the drum and the call of the bugle will be heard for the first time at the Ninth ‘Annual Session of the Sunday-School Congress to be held in Beaumont, Texas, June 10-16th. In connection with the announcement comes the as- surance from the Lone Star State that Texas alone is preparing the biggest surprise in the Sunday-School world in the form of an entire regi- ment of National A. F. Cadets made up of Sunday-School boys, completely uniformed in Khaki to march to the music of the bugle, fife and drum. To offset this the local committee at Beaumont has arranged to put Negro dolls into the arms of one thousand Negro girls. These dolls are now be- ing prepared. A special Sunday- School Congress train will run from Nashville to Beaumont without change, declared the Secretary after the Board meeting last Saturday. Nashville, Tenn., March 23—Clos- ing dates for practically every univer- sity and college in Nashville have been agreed upon. Meharry Medical College heads the list, followed close- ly by Walden University; then Roger Williams, and State Normal comes in for her share to divide her sweet June graduates with Fisk University, which is the last to close this year. Nash- villians are looking forward sadly to the exodus of students, as this year has been a record-breaker in attend- ance, More than three thousand in ail the departments make up the stu- dent population during the present school year.

While they will not be as voluminous as those of the Philadelphia session of the National Association, they wil be just as essential because of some very important recommendations made by the committee at the Nash- ville meeting. President Murphy, Vice President Jones and the entire elective officers 6f the Association are joining in with the corresponding secretary to make the Muskogee meeting, next August, a record-breaker.

WHERE THE BLUNDER IS. Most people will condemn Sen Borah’s putting of woman's suffrage in the same class with Negro suffrage, and disagree with him in his denuncia- tion of the 13th amendment as a “blunder.” Say what you may, Negro suffrage has been and is a racial question, whereas woman's suffrage is not. The “blupder” as to the rsth amend- ment is not,as to its enactment but as to its enforcement. Under the proposition of states’ rights, the Ne- gro has been disfranchised in a large part of the nation, in defiance of the constitution. When privilege has been driven to the last ditch, when injustice has found itself on its last legs, when any movement for the general good has seemed probable of accomplishment, this “states’ rights” obsession has al- ways bobbed up as a barrier to pro- gress. So long as human slavery was considered a question of state's rights, there was human slavery in these United States, and, after 90 years of such foolish obsession, it took a bloody war to determine that we could not live as a nation with men, their wives and children chattel property in Ken- tucky and human beings in Ohio. A republic must be a political entity. The foundation of a republic is the consent of the governed, nothing else. Anything else is monarchy or anarchy. Disfranchisement of the Negro, such as we practically have in several states, is rebellion. It is based on racial prejudice and is, finally, wholly unjustifiable. The opposition to women's suffrage is based on sex prejudice. Taken as a whole, our best citizens and best patriots are the women. The question as to whether women shall be free, politically, is not a question between Uncle Sam and Alabama, but between God and man, just as was that question settled in blood some 50 years ago.—St. Paul Daily News. Mr. Vardaman quotes from Mr. Lin- coln’s speech at Charleston, Ill, in 1838, Lincoln, being a wise man, DID change later on as the records show, but the fool, Vardaman;-is ignorant. He is wedded to his idol—Negro in- feriority—and is therefore inseperable and unchangeable. But there are many white men, who believe in the survival of the fittest—who have faith in the ability of their race to progress, side by side with the Negro. These fairminded men do not fear the social or political equality of the race, or Negro domination. They intend to give him a square deal as a man. The loyalty of the Negroes will be tested in the present mayoralty race in St. Paul between Louis Nash and Winn Powers, ‘A solid Negro vote will be very effective. Mr. Nash is ‘now a prominent factor and an of- ficer of the National Society for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Bowers is also a friend of the race. There-must be a united vote. A meet- ing will: be held to decide on the bet- ee en A RE-CONSTRUCTION PERIOD. “The South is in the saddle.” The Negro question is the paramount is- sue. The Democrats are attempting general disfranchisemeft and class legislation against the Negro. We have contended that this would be done, and we must suffer it now. The Southern Democrats could not do otherwise. They have raved for years on the “Negro problem””and today the Negro-haters in Congress are dy- ing in their deliriums, im spite of party control. This is a dawm of anew freedom, a period of reconstruction It is the battle for human rights be- tween white men, where the Negro will be benefited. If he is totally dis- franchised, (and this is possible) some day he will be enfranchised and then will value his ballot for its true worth. If the Democrats fail to pass any special legislation depriving the Negro of his rights, then he should not count them as enemies of his race. The party label has been dis- astrous to the Negro, He has believed in jobs, and not justice. The records, not promises of men should hereaf- tr be considered. The Republicans gave and the Republicans taketh away, yet it is fit and proper to say, Blessed are the Republicans—Like-wise we fear the Democratic party disregard- less of the merits of its many in- dividuals, The present issue on the Negro is a blessing. It is going to bring him in closer relation with his friends, both white and black. He has been to a great extent careless, dis- honest and ungrateful. He is now fearful of his future. The Negro of the North, who glories in his priv- ilege to vote, has seldom considered his brother of the Southland, who is without that privilege. The exercise of suffrage is a right under the Con- stitution, yet is is only a. privilege in many of the States. The Negro, as an individual, must become interested in his God-given rights and must do his uttermost to safeguard them. They complain about not having leaders, the fact is—all leaders and no followers. The race must learn to trust each other. There is no unity without confidence, no confidence without honesty. “The true grandeur of nations lies in the true character of its individuals.” Yet we censure Mr. Vardaman, when he makes cap- ital out of the criminal statistics. The question is being asked “What are you going to do about it? Many leading Negroes of today forget that Editor T. Thomas Fortune prophesied this condition and years ago he heralded that question over this en- tire country in the columns of The New York Age. His warnings and protests were unheeded, discrimina- tion began with disfranchisement brought én by race traitors and sub- servient leaders, and today we have segregation and an attempt to repeal the 15th amendment. We believe that Divine Providence will right all wrongs. It matters little if we suffer now that future generations may be benefitted. However, the Govern- ment at Washington still lives, and all Democrats are not Negro-haters. God reigns supreme, he controls the destinies of nations, and will ‘help those who help themselves, that trust and fear him. The present may ap- pear dark, but the future will be brighter for the race if the Negro will work out his own salvation with fear and trembling. The contending forces have made him “Take Notice.” May he continue, and with reforms from within—a regard for his moral, financial and political welfare, he will leave to posterity an inheritance of which they shall be justly proud. The Twin City Star has the exclus- ive use of the Afro-American page of the American Press Assn. edited by Mr. N. B. Dodson, a Negro, which gives the best news of the race from everywhere. This is a feature much appreciated by our readers. ‘The Washington Sun, of Washing- ton, D. C, published by J. Findley Wilsan, arrived among our exchanges this week. It is a newsy journal and Mr. Wilson of long experience as an advertising manager, should make it a success. May the Sun shine brightly and regularly, Through the efforts of Editor Phil. H. Brown of the Hopkinsville News, the officials of the L.: and N. R. R, were indicted of violation of the Sep- arate Car Laws, in giving unequal ac- comodations for Negroes over their road. Judge Wilbur F. Booth has been named as a possibility to succeed late Judge Willard of the Federal Court. He is a Democrat and a recognized jurist. Judge Booth represents the highest type of manhood.

OPEN LETTER ON FREEMASONRY New York brand Lodge Secre- tary Makes Statement, THREE OBJECTIVE POINTS. Harry A. Williamson Enlightens the Grand Orient of Lusitania: In Lie- bon, Portugal, of Conditions as They Exist Between the White and Color- d Members of the Order In America. Brooklyn.—Right Worthy Harry A. Williamson, grand secretary of the most worshipful grand lodge of the state of New York, Bree and Accepted Masons, in a letter to the grand master of the United Grand Orient of Lust- tania, in Lisbon, Portugal, not long ago, among other things says: In looking through the American Free- mason I note that your grand orient has issued call for an international Masonic conference or congrese and that one of the toplca for discussion is “The Position of the Black Race In Masonry.” That toplo Interests mo considerably because of the tact that this grand lodge in which I-hold membership is composed entirely of black men, otherwise designated as American Negroes, and I wondered whether the sub- fect for discussion is to deal primarily with the black people of American birth or with those who may be living within the territory governed by your grand orfent.~ T do not presume you are very well in- formed concerning the relations existing between the white and black races of the United States. It is true that at one time many millions of the blacks were slaves of & portion of the whites. "It ts equally true there were several millions of blacks that were known as “free Negroes,” whose ancestors were never bound by the chains of human slavery. It was throdgh this class that Preomasonry among the American Negroes came into being by virtue of a document issued in 17% by the grand lodge of England at London. ‘Those black Americans transmitted the sacred rites and ceremonies down through vari- ous generations of other “free Negroes" to the present generation. ‘The white American grand lodges. re- fuse to give us that brotherly recognition due all regular Free and Accepted Ma- sons upon at least three grounds—firat, be- cause in tholr minds there exists an abor- inable prejudice because of our dark akin; second, to sustain the sentiments just noted these grand lodges fall behind the g0 called American doctrine—. e, that no (wo grand lodges of Freemasons can ex- iat in tho same territory at one and the same time: third. that our ancestry as | rs co ee — i ' i I pecs ima ei nara SeaPRROE GRAND masts regularly made Masons (s not clear. In Giscussing the first cause I can but add the average white American, also the av- erage white American Mason. does not seem to be inclined to judge hie black brother according to his mental and moral characteristics, but by the color of his skin In treating upon the second cause for nonrecognition, would say this “doctrine” Durposely and effectively prevents fra- ternal intercourse between the grand lodges of white and black Masons. which bodies are to be found in most every state comprising the American Union Some of the white grand lodges in thelr constitutions or codes of law plainly state one of the requisites for initiation into the order is that the person must be of the “white” or Caucasian race. This, you are aware, fs contrary to the spirit and purposes of the institution. While other grand lodges do not go #0 tar with the wording of their codes, yot ft is absolutely impossible for a dark skinned man to be- come a member in any of their lodges ex- cept he comes from some north African, East Indian or some other countries where the dark skinned natives are clase- ed with the Caucasian race. Their lodges will accept any one who does not boast of African or Negro ancestry. Being depriv- ed of the privilege of admission into these white lodges, the only recourse has been for the black Freemasons to organ- ize such bodies of thelr own and in turn grand lodges; hence the continental Ma- son will find two grand orients or, as we term them, grand lodges working in each of the American states. ‘Regarding the third cause, from time to time when confronted with unques- tenable documentary evidence the of- cars of the white grand lodges have been compelled to admit with considerable re- factance that the first lodge of black Ma- sons (African No. #9) was as regular in the manner of Its eaablishment as were any of those composed of: white men which came into existence during: the eighteenth century. But many of thelr members feo! as did that great American Masonic scholar, Brothér Albert Pike— that before they’ will call a black Mason “brother” they would prefer to leave Ma~ sonry. ‘Space will not permit me to discuss the whole subject at a greater length than | pave herewith. 1 only want to inform you of the one fact that we are unable to Impress upon the minds of the white grand bodies of this.country, and that (s the Diack American Mason does not crave sootal relationship with his white co- worker in thin great scheme of human fel- lowship, nor dues he desires the absorp- tlon of his branch of ‘the fraternity by the white grand lodges All we ask and all we want Ia for them to acknowledge before the whole world that we are “brothers” Masonically and be accorded guob other rights due trom ane Mason to another. <ses BEUP-TO-DATE Cio. .
