ological seminary of Morris Brown college, this city, and was dean of this department for seven years.
He served a year at Morris Brown college, filling the chair of theology and philosophy, and resigned in 1907 to accept the presidency of Campbell college, Jackson, Miss. by his genius and manhood he gave Campbell college a place of high recognition among A. M. E. colleges in Mississippi.
He received his A. B. degree from Lincoln university and later graduated from the theological department of Boston university. At this university the members of his year were Dr. J. W. E. Bowens, Bishops Thirkeld, Hughes, Bashford and Hamilton of the M. E. church, Governors Bates and Russell of Massachusetts.
PLACE FOR MAJOR YOUNG.
Effort Made to Have Gallant Soldier Head New York Regiment.
New York.—Representatives of the United Colored Democracy of the State of New York have written to Governor Glynn suggesting that Major Charles Young, United States cavalry, who is an officer at present detailed as military attache to Monrovia, Liberia, and assisting in the instruction of the Liberian army, be made colonel of the national guard regiment of colored militia authorized by the legislature of the state in 1913.
Major Young is the only Negro officer of his rank in the regular army. He entered West Point in June, 1884, and will have completed thirty years' service next month. Under army regulations an officer can retire, with the consent of the president, after thirty years' service, and the prominent colored men of this city, who have been fighting for years for the privilege of organizing a regiment, plan to have Major Young detailed to active service after his retirement and assigned to organize the authorized regiment in this state. This plan would continue Major Young on his active service pay of $3,000 a year.
Robert N. Wood is president of the United Colored Democracy, and the other officers include F. F. Perecett, William H. Austin, James D. Carr, John T. Thorne, D. Macon Webster, Henri L. Smith, Cornellus A. Hughes, Owen M. Waller, W. W. Hanley, F. Q. Morton, J. Frank Wheaton, Edmund O. Austin, Samuel W. Jackson and Rufus L. Perry. The letter to Governor Glynn suggesting Major Young for colonel of the regiment was in part as follows:
"The adjutant general has postponed organization of the colored regiment, owing to the fact that not a sufficient number of candidates passed the examination for officers. It has again been proposed that the regiment be commanded by white officers. I desire herewith to renew our objections to this proposal and to suggest a practicable means for the expeditious organization of the regiment in accordance with the plain intent of the statute that makes mandatory provision for it. "To place white officers in command of the regiment would be a clear violation of the statute. The statute provides for a colored regiment. Nowhere in the military law is the term "regiment," standing alone, used to describe only the privates and noncommissioned officers of such a military unit as distinguished from its commissioned officers, but everywhere in that law this term, so used, means the entire unit, including all officers in command."
The letter also sets forth debates in the legislature to support the contention that advocates of the new regiment act refused compromise measures providing for white officers. The letter continues: "Intelligent and disinterested colored citizens of this state do not now desire nor have they ever desired to have a regiment commanded by white officers. If we are not to have a regiment in which colored men may aspire to any rank for which they are fitted then we want no regiment."
Graduates of Influential Southern College to Perfect Permanent Body.
The graduates of the Virginia Union university and of the Wayland seminary who reside in the northern or New England states are requested to attend a meeting in Bridgeport. Conn. at the Messiah Baptist church on Wednesday afternoon, June 17, at 4 o'clock.
The object of the meeting is to complete the organization of a northern chapter of the Virginia Union University Alumni association, which now exists as a temporary body. The call for the meeting is signed by the Rev. William P. Hayes and N. Barnett Dodson of New York, temporary president and secretary, respectively. The meeting will be held during the annual session of the New England Baptist convention.

MAN OF BROAD LEARNING.
Part Played by Well Known Educator In Contest For Funds Bequeathed to Afro-Americans For Education by the Late John C. Martin—Schooled With Distinguished Men.
Atlanta, Ga.—Anything pertaining to the material uplift of the Afro-American folk is of vital interest to the millions of the race who live in the south. There are many well trained men in the race silently working for the masses without being heralded over the country. Among such characters is Dr. M. M. Ponton, who is a resident of this city. By his quiet and sane methods of doing things for the benefit of the race he has recently accomplished something that will make the entire race his debtor.
Dr. Ponton had the pleasure of meeting the late John C. Martin, a man of wealth, some ten years ago and became a close friend of the millionaire. He interested Mr. Martin in the race and was instrumental in securing the large fund which was used to better educational conditions among Afro-American ministers in the south, through which hundreds, if not thousands, have greatly benefited, irrespective of denomination. Mr. Martin furnished all of the money for this specific fund, known as the John C. Martin educational fund, of which Dr. Ponton was field superintendent. It looked rather dark for the race, so far as the moneys it was receiving from this educational fund of Mr. Martin were concerned, when he died. At his death a protest was entered against his 1912 will, which restricted the money from going to a nonsectarian board for distribution. Being such a large sum of money, there was much concern felt on the part of those interested in the education of the Negro race. Dr. Ponton became deeply interested in the will and made a strenuous fight for the race, and his success in
DR. M. M. FONTON.
saving to the race a large sum of money for education is inspiring. The following letter was received from Mr. L'Amoreaux, a member of one of the leading law firms of the country. It is in part as follows:
"We wish to congratulate you and your brethren of the colored race on the substantial benefits that will be derived by your people through the board of freedmen, located at Pittsburgh, which we understand has in charge the field work among your people. The board of freedmen is one of the three Presbyterian boards which are residuary legatees under the Martin will, of which Wing and I are executors. This is the will which has been admitted to probate and under which the board of freedmen will receive a very large legacy upon the distribution of the estate."
Dr. Ponton recently returned from New York, where he was looking after the race in the respect. Although he is one of the leading factors in the great A. M. E. denomination, he is so broad in his efforts for the material uplift of the race that he is regarded as nonsectarian in his views when it comes to race development. He is a strong advocate of promoting educational institutions for our people. He founded the Turner The

FEDERATION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS
Story of How a Virginia Schoolgirl Won Her Laurels Through Own Energies—Founder and Organizer of Home For Wayward Girls—Educator, Author and Business Woman.
Roanoke, Va.—The Virginia State Federation of Women's Clubs, of which Miss Maud Reynolds of this city is the organizer, is one of the most helpful organizations in the state for work among young women and girls. Its activities, however, are not confined to the female portion of the race alone, but are exerted in the best interest of the people generally in the various communities.
Miss Reynolds has worked her way to the front and desires to spend a life of usefulness for her people. She is one of the busiest women in the country. She was born in Petersburg, Va., but at a very early age her parents moved to this city, where she received her early public school training and where she is now conducting a hairdressing parlor. She finished the public school course in 1900 and graduated from the Virginia Normal and Industrial institute in 1902. She taught school for five years, making a reputation as one of the best teachers in the entire school system in Virginia. She was loved by both pupils and their parents.
In her business establishment she uses the most modern methods and keeps on hand a fresh stock of all necessary material for the accommodation of her patrons. Her pariors are on High School street, and she numbers among her customers some of the leading people of both races. She is energetic and endeavors to render the very best service to her patrons.
As busy as Miss Reynolds is with her many business cares she devotes considerable time to uplift work among the people. She organized a city federation of women's clubs consisting of a Civic Betterment club, Mothers' club and Charity association, each of which is doing its work well and bringing good results to the race. It is the first time in the history of Roanoke that the playground system for children of the race has been introduced.
She is president of the City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, the state organizer, and at the same time she is state organizer for the W. C. T. U. In these positions she has the confidence of the women throughout the state. She is doing a great work for the development of womanhood.
Miss Reynolds has written a booklet on "How to Organize and Conduct Women's Clubs." This has been placed in many hands and has been of great assistance to the women. She has made a special study of the work. In educational movements she is to be found in the front rank doing anything in her power for the advancement of the young people in an educational way. She is secretary of the State Alumni association of the Virginia Normal and Industrial college at Petersburg, Va., and treasurer of the City Alumni association. Her special effort is centered in a state home school for wayward colored girls, and in this movement she has invited all the women of the state to join. Within four years they have purchased a farm of 147 acres at a cost of $5,400, about $1,500 of which is yet to be paid on it. For the home the state has appropriated $1,200, and just as soon as the people can convince the state that they mean business other appropriations will be made and the institution put on a permanent basis. The work of building will soon be started, and then more will join in the work. Several men of wealth have promised to contribute to the erection of the building.
The Colored Population of Missouri.
Recent statistics place the colored population of Missouri at 157,452, distributed in the various cities and towns of the state as follows: St. Louis, 43,960; St. Joseph, 4,249; Kansas City, 28,566; Springfield, 1,995; Joplin, 801; Sedalia, 1,871; Hannah, 1,846.

WELL MANAGED SCHOOL
Progress of the Utica Institute Under Professor W. H. Holtzclaw.
Utica, Miss.-The Utica institute, is recognized as one of the leading institutions in the south for the education and advancement of Afro-American boys and girls. Under the wise management of the president, Professor William H. Holtzclaw, the school is meeting the needs of its large student body in a most satisfactory way.
Seeing the great need of industrial education in the south, Mr. Holtzclaw struggled strenuously under difficulties to plant a school to give the young people, especially of Mississippi, a chance to acquire such an education as would fit them for making their way through life.
During its eleven years of existence the school has done a wonderful and commendable work. Graduates of the school since its establishment are filling nearly every position in the walk of life with honor to themselves and credit to their alma mater.
The enrollment this year was over 500, coming from Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Cuba and Mississippi. The high class work done by the institution places it in the front rank. Perhaps nowhere in this country can be found an institution that is more alive to the needs and best interests of its students.
The character of its work was clearly shown in the fact that at the state fair held in Jackson, Miss., in October, 1913, the school won first prizes for nearly every department exhibit, notwithstanding every school in the state was represented, and the Utica Normal and Industrial institute was the younger of them all.
The faculty of the school consists of thirty-two well trained young men and women, some of whom are graduates of some of the leading institutions of learning in this country.
Professor Holtzclaw was born of humble parentage on a farm in Randolph county, Ala. Starting with such education as was offered him in his home county he made his way to Tuskegee institute, where he worked during the day and went to school at night for four years, when he graduated from that institution with honors.
The school held its commencement exercises recently. Ten young people received diplomas and certificates. This is the largest number of graduates ever sent out from the school at one time.
Annual Meeting of Good Samaritans.
The forty-third annual meeting of the New Jersey state grand lodge of the Independent Order of Good Samaritans will be held at Long Branch, beginning on Wednesday morning, June 8, at 10 o'clock. Large delegations from the various subordinate lodges will be in attendance. The address of welcome will be delivered by Dr. William B. Scott, deputy for the fifth district. Miss Estell Doucey and Mrs. Grace Hall, head workers in the juvenile department, will render their annual reports at the evening session on Wednesday, June 8.
Good Work For Jenkins Orphanage.
The closing exercises of the Jenkins Orphanage institute in Charleston, B. C., will be held on Monday evening, June 1, in the orphanage building on Franklin street. The institution has had a very successful year in all of its work, notwithstanding the increase in the number of pupils and the heavy financial responsibility under which the managers have had to labor in order to maintain its dignity and the good will of the public.
YEAR'S WORK AT TUSKEGEE
BRILLIANT CAMPUS SCENES.
Commencement Season Opens With Outdoor Reception to the Eleven Student Literary Societies—Alumni Discuss Practical Subjects From Actual Experience In Doing Things.
Tuskegee, Ala.—The Tuskegee institute brought a very strenuous year to a close on Thursday, May 28, when Principal Washington handed out 200 diplomas to graduates and postgraduate students. These students, both postgraduates and graduates, represented thirty-seven various trades and industries, the majority in postgraduate work falling to domestic science and agriculture in some phase or other. In no year has the representation been so varied as to states and foreign countries. Students from the Danish West Indies, British West Indies, Cuba, Porto Rico, Colorado, California, Iowa, several of the New England states and more nearby western states carried off diplomas along with those of the strictly southern section of the country. The commencement season opened on Saturday, May 23, with an outdoor reception to the eleven student literary societies of the school. On Saturday evening the same societies held their annual price declamation contest in the auditorium. Sunday was baccalaureate day.
Line of March Extends Half a Mile.
The imposing feature was the long line of march of teachers, students and graduates. The school band took the lead. It was followed by the young men in the institution, who in turn were followed by the young women, making a line of 1,200 students. The students were followed by the members of the executive council and some 180 teachers. Following the teachers came the graduates. The young women and young men marched in couples.
The girl graduates were dressed in pure white, carrying white parasols. The young men were dressed in blue coats and white trousers. The line of march started from the battalion grounds, forming a circuit of half a mile, leading up to the chapel door. Here the students in front halted and stood in position while the faculty and graduates marched through and into the chapel.
Students, teachers, faculty, parents of graduates, visitors and white people from the town crowded the institute chapel to overflowing, some 3,000 or 4,000 in number. The sermon this year was preached by Rev. James I. Vance, an eloquent southern preacher, of Nashville, Tenn. This is a custom. A southern minister preaches the baccalaureate sermon, while a colored man of distinction delivers the commencement address.
Exercises of Bible Training School.
On Monday night came the graduating exercises of Phelps Hall Bible Training school. Like all the discussion by students, the subjects here are practical, growing out of the students' experience. Last year the graduates discussed rural Sunday school work in Macon county. This year the tople was rural church work.
Students showed they had gone out among the rural churches of Macon county, alided in raising funds to build a new church, to repair an old one, to put in seats, carpets, organs and to increase the general attendance. In all cases they showed the training of practical workers, which is the purpose of this school rather than to award degrees of divinity.
On Tuesday night the oratorical contest for the Boston Trinity church prize was held, a contest between eloquent representatives of the two upper classes.
Class Day Exercises Held In Open Air.
On Wednesday evening came the class day exercises. This exercise was unique. It is held out of doors, in a hollow all decorated with lights and colors. The two upper classes met in front of Olivia Davidson hall, formed a line four abreast, the A middle class lining on the outsides, the seniors with. In long strings of paper ribbon were strung along on the shoulders of the lines on the outside. "Auld Lang Syne" was struck up, and the classes marched slowly to the entrance of the hollow. Here the two outside lines halted, while the seniors passed on under arches to their places around the platform. A program sparkling with little hits at the teachers and peculiarities of

fellow students was given
A new feature this year was that of
changing the date of the alumni reunion. Every year much attention has
been given to the alumni, but only the
class that had been out twenty years
was expected to return in a body. This
year the time has been changed from
twenty to ten years. To get this started
the classes between 1894 and 1904
were invited back. Representatives
from most of these classes were present
and made short addresses on commencement day. Most of these brought
a contribution either as representative
of the class or as individuals. The
sums ranged from $5 to $200 per class
or individual.
Thursday, commencement day, was as much farmers' day as senior day Hundreds of wagons, vehicles, horses and mules filled the hollow that was occupied the night before by the seniors. To instruct and inspire these farmers an exhibit of farm products, of stock, of useful household devices, was placed near by. Lunch stands had been stationed at convenient points. Long before 10 o'clock the grounds were peopled with farm folk and the chapel door besieged with the wives and children from Macon and other counties.
Special trains from Montgomery and Opelkell brought in their hundreds of visitors, and the commencement day spirit pervaded every heart.
Once more the subjects discussed by students were practical, growing out of the speakers' experience. Nellie I. Mitchell, just finishing her education, discussed the old and new teacher. Marcel Malony, a dressmaker, traced her dress from the loom to the wearer, explaining and illustrating not only how to make a dress, but how to choose and purchase the goods. Harrison Finch, a shoemaker, explained and illustrated the management of a shoeshop.
To follow one subject in detail, John L. Campbell, from the agricultural department, discussed the growing and handling of fruit. He explained the method of choosing the soil, dug out the hole and set in a peach tree. Taking his spray, he illustrated how to combat insects and diseases that beset the fruit grower. Reaching the fruit itself, he demonstrated how to save the surplus peaches by actually canning them in the presence of his audience.
OFFICIAL PLANS FOR THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS.
Meeting of National Religious Body Will Be Largely Attended.
Nashville, Tenn.—At a special meeting of the Sunday school congress official board and the National Baptist Publishing board recently held it was decided that the Nashville delegation to the ninth annual meeting of the Sunday school congress to be held in Beaumont, Tex., would leave Nashville on Monday night, June 8, or early Tuesday morning, June 9.
It was decided to go by way of the New Orleans gateway. The secretary of the Sunday school congress stated that an effort would be made to have a special train this year as heretofore and that in view of the fact that selections of delegations were coming in so fast the prospects were that a special train would be necessary. He also stated that he did not know how many of the northern and eastern delegates would come through Nashville, but that he had received several letters from points north and east asking if it were possible to go by way of Nashville. He has replied to each, saying that this information would have to be given to them by the various railroad representatives.
The committee of arrangements for the entertainment of the visitors are the members of the executive committee, which is composed of Drs. Gibson, Bendy and Williamson and Professor J. P. Eugene. The chairmen of the various committees are: Arrangements, Dr. M. E. Robinson; reception, Dr. C. I. McDade; entertainment, Dr. M. Hurd; decoration, Dr. W. H. Holland; muscle, Professor L. L. Prater and Joseph D. Turner; homes, J. R. Jacobs; assignment, Professor Thomas T. Pollard and J. P. Eugene; solicitation, John H. Rhone. With these active workers already in line the work of the congress is in safe hands.

NOTABLE CAREER OF DR. W. P. HAYES Valuable Reforms Perfected In Short Space of Time.
SCHOLARLY AND ENERGETIC
Pastor of Mount Olivet Baptist Church in New York Is One of the Most Active Uplifters of His Countrymen. Enlivened Life of His Church Wonderfully.
New York.—Rev. Dr. W. P. Hayes, one of the most scholarly and progressive of the younger school of preachers, celebrated his third anniversary as the pastor of Mount Olivet Baptist church with appropriate and special anniversary exercises, Sunday, May 17. The day was notable in the history of the church, and the exercises were the most brilliant seen in connection with its history. Dr. Hayes' anniversary was celebrated in connection with the thirty-sixth anniversary of the church, and during the long history of the congregation it has never been in better condition than at the present time.
During the three years' pastorate of Dr. Hayes he has brought about a complete reformation in the life of the church, until today the new features inaugurated by Dr. Hayes make Mount Olivet Baptist church one of the most thoroughly modern churches conducted by the race in this country. Dr. Hayes came to Olivet when it was passing through a crucial period and when
P.
REV. W. P. HAYES, D. D. wise and executive leadership was needed to bring about harmony and good will. Among the new reforms that Dr. Hayes has perfected that have given the church a distinctive tone in the city is the carrying out of a system that has to do with the proper handling of the finances. This system is arranged after the most approved financial system now in vogue in the most progressive churches of the country.
The various departments of the church at the close of the year must submit their budgets to the prudential committee. this committee refers it to the joint board and the board passes it to the corporation for approval. This method is doubtless the most modern method of handling the finances of the church of any system in this city. All money raised in every one of the church departments are turned over to the trustees and can be drawn only on a written order from the trustees. This system enables the church to properly account for all money raised. Dr. Hayes' church has abolished the old custom of the table collection. Collection now is made in from eight to ten minutes and with less confusion. The winning power of Dr. Hayes as preacher is seen in the splendid manner in which in the short space of three years he has added over 700 members to the church and raised $32,156.80. He has conducted 152 funeral services, preached 466 sermons and delivered a number of lectures. Eighty-five couples have been united in matrimony by Dr. Hayes, and he has paid 785 sick calls. Many improvements have taken place since his pastorate, and the church today is thoroughly organized and united.
Dr. Hayes, since coming to this city, has won the confidence and esteem $ \mathcal{D} $ the entire public, irrespective of denomination, and is one of the most forceful and highly respected clergymen in the pulit of the race.
The Rev. W. P. Hayes was born in Granville county, N. C., and is the son of the Rev. W. P. Hayes, one of the pioneer ministers of the M. E. church of the North Carolina conference. Dr Hayes attended the public schools of Raleigh and Redlands, N. C., and later entered Bennet college at Greensboro, N. C., from which he graduated in 1898. After teaching three years at the Boydton institute he entered the Virginia Union university and graduated from the theological department in 1907. After graduation he became instructor of elocution at the university, serving in this capacity for one year. He has held the pastorate of some of the best churches in Virginia with eminent success. In November, 1910, he married Miss Carolyn Amee, one of the most accomplished young women of the race. She is especially accomplished as a pianist and is of great assistance to her husband in his church work.

What Oswald Garrison Villard Says
About Race Segregation
About Race Segregation.
The news from Washington that the effort to segregate the colored and white clerks in the federal departments is checked if not ended must cause to rejoice every one who believes in fair play and the square deal, says Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the New York Evening Post, in a lengthy article in the Philadelphia Press Jan. 2. He says:
Particularly to supporters of the Woodrow Wilson administration, like myself, is the news welcome, for this attempt to draw caste lines in the very heart of the government of the greatest of democracies, founded upon the principle that all are born free and equal, constituted a grave blot upon Mr. Wilson's record, besides laying him open to the charge of preaching a "new freedom," but practicing a "new slavery" for those upon whom divine Providence in its wisdom has bestowed dark skins.
But, if we can rejoice over this reversal of a bad federal policy, to our shame be it said that segregation goes on apace elsewhere. Nine southern cities have voted to establish the ghetto on American soil, though Augusta, to its credit, has just voted down this cruel and un-American proposition.
It is a policy dictated by the most selfish of considerations, for it would make the progress of a race in an urban community depend upon land values. For once the commonest excuse for holding the Negro down—the false cry of race purity and of social equality—is put aside in favor of this new proposition that the Negroes must be confined to a given quarter lest by going elsewhere they depreciate the property of whites.
Thus it is laid down that if a colored man would rise and secure for his children better light, better air, a better home in less crowded and more sanitary quarters, he is thereby committing a social crime; that we must prevent his carrying out an ambition which we applaud in every other American, be he Jew or gentile, Armenian or Russian or Pole or German or pure American.
We reprobate it in the Negro as if mere contact with him were leprous. We can all sympathize with those whose property suffers in value by reason of color prejudice, but the whole history of our cities tells of the rination of aristocratic quarters by the infux of trade or of masses of immigrants. Sudden changes in value are what every one faces who buys urban property. Losing money ought surely never to be an excuse for putting extra burdens on a race already heavily disadvantaged.

NEWSPAPER LAW.
The Times at Neosho, Mo., says: "Judge James Ellison, of the Kansas City Court of Appeals, handed down the following decision in the case of O. D. Austin, of Bates County Record, vs. Burge, other members concurring, and published in 137 S. W. Report, p. 618: 'The preparation and publication of a newspaper involves much mental and physical labor, as well as an outlay of money. One who accepts the paper by continuously taking it from the postoffice receives a benefit and pleasure arising from such labor and expenditures as fully as if he had appropriated any other product of another's labor, and by such act he must be held liable for subscription price.'"

PATRIOTISM.
In ceasing to remember their martyrs the Greeks became corrupt and in their corruption found their grave. That our country might escape a like fate I would advocate the observance in our churches and in our homes of Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays as sacredly and as conscientiously as our religious festivals are observed. Had I the power I would ordain that the period intervening between the first and last of these days be set aside in our schools and churches, in our political and civic clubs, in our fraternal and literary organizations, for a review of our nation's rise and growth, for a comparison between it and other nations, for a consideration of whatever dangers may threaten the commonwealth and of the means to be employed in overcoming them, to the end that the nation might thus annually experience a revival of patriotism. — Rabbi Krauskopf.
The struggle for today, is not altogether for today; it is for a vast future.—Abraham Lincoln.
RINES FOR STATE AUDITOR
Hon. Henry Rines, Speaker of the House in 1913 session, is a candidate for State Auditor. Mr. Rines is opposed by Mr. J. A. O. Preus, present state insurance commissioner. During his term as speaker more bills were passed for good government than ever in the history of the state. He is true to progressive principles and deserves the support of the Negro voters. He strenuously prevented any legislation against their race. His opponent, Mr. Preus, has not sufficiently recognized the Negro element to even ask their support. Mr. Rines is the man for the job.
HON. ERNEST LUNDEEN.
Rep. Lundeen announces his candidacy for Congressman from the new Fifth Dist., comprising all the City of Minneapolis, except the 3rd, 4th and 10th wards. He is the peoples pioneer progressive. He has done more for the cause of the workingman than any legislator during past two sessions- He has demonstrated his disfavor of racial discrimination, and is an advocate of "Equality before the Law." He is a Spanish War Veteran true to his comrades, regardless of color.
A SQUARE DEAL
For every kith, kin or tribe let us have a square deal. It matters not whether the accused is a Jew, Greek or Gentile, let justice be done though the heavens fall. And the only way to administer justice absolutely and impartially is by the measure of the Golden Rule. Just shift places. Place yourself in the other fellow's position and then treat the other fellow just as you would have the other fellow treat you, or as you would be treated under similar circumstances.—Atlanta Independent.
It is general that people without character are always protecting a reputation.

HENRY RINES of Mora, Minn.
Speaker of House, Session 1913
CANDIDATE FOR STATE AUDITOR
HE HAS MADE GOOD.
Public Service: County Auditor of Kanabec County ten years; Representative in Legislature eight years; Speaker of House 1913 session. His long public career has made him thoroughly familiar with state government. Henry Rines, as Speaker, organized the House in the interest of good government and progressive legislation. He has consistently stood for economy and reform and for legislation improving moral and social conditions. As Speaker he reduced expenses of House one-third as compared with previous session; also number of House employees one-third. He is the author of many important laws, including five per cent gross earnings tax law approved by voters at last election, now producing annually over one million dollars additional revenue for the state; also act repealing mineral lease law which Governor Johnson said would save the state school fund millions of dollars.
He Stands For—
Economical and business like administration of state auditor's office. Efficiency, not political influence, in appointments. Civil service and Reorganization of State Departments. Sale of foreign bonds owned by state and investment of proceeds in home securities. Conservation and state development. He is absolutely free from the domination of political bosses or machines. He wears no man's collar. Such a man deserves the support of all public spirted citizens who believe in a square deal and fair play. Resident of Minnesota forty-one years.
TEMPTATION.
Cultivate the moral strength to resist temptation. You can do it if you will. In itself a temptation is neither strong nor weak. An opportunity to steal a million would not affect some men and women in the least. To others it would be irresistible, because their hearts are aching with desire for wealth. We cannot blame our temptations for our sins. That is neither fair nor just. We must look deeper and own that we alone are accountable for the wrongdoing.
CONTENTMENT.
Contentment furnishes constant joy; much covetousness, constant grief. To the contented even poverty is joy. To the discontented even wealth is a vexation.—From the Chinese.
Fear not for the future, weep not for the past.—Shelley.
I have learned in whatever state I am therewith to be content—St. Paul.
EVILS OF DIVORCE.
There is a social accourage more blighting and more destructive of family life than Mormonism. It is the fearfully increasing number of divorce mills throughout the United States. These mills, like the mills of the gods, are slowly but surely grinding to powder the domestic altars of the nation. Husband and wife are separated on the most flimsy pretexts. And as if if the different states of the Union were not sufficiently accommodating in this respect one state has the unenviable distinction of granting a bill of divorce for the mere asking of it, on the sole condition of a brief residence within her borders.—Cardinal Gibbons.

MUSIC CLUB GIVES RECITAL
How R. N. Dett is Uplifting the Race Through Music.
Norfolk, Va.—Music is one of the certain channels through which aspiring colored people can and do reach the hearts of sympathetic Americans. It affords the ambitious colored man, woman or child the effective medium of telling the thrilling story of the race's pain and hope, as well as the race's struggle toward the light of a better future.
A successful concert here and there, a recognition of talent, a well balanced program, a new enthusiasm for the best music—these are signs of a new day for the Negro muscian, proud of his race and prepared to make good in his calling.
The Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Music club recently presented in recital R. Nathaniel Dett, head of the Hampton institute music department, whose work as a pianist and composer has already received the hearty indorsement and warm praise of competent musical critics. Mr. Dett has succeeded in making old and young alike join forces in rendering well and together the music of his race and that of the so called masters.
What R. Nathaniel Dett has done and is doing to give his own people the benefit of good music and to demonstrate to white people the musical possibilities of the American Negro should be an encouragement to struggling colored men and women who wish to dignify the race's folk songs and to interpret the race's inner call to song.
Mr. Dett played a number of his own compositions, including the "Magnolli" suite—(1) "Magnollias," (2) "The Deserted Cabin," (3) "My Ladylove," (4) "Mammy" and (5) "The Place Where the Rainbow Ends;" "In the Bottoms"—(1) "Prelude ("Night"), (2) "His Song," (3) "Honey," (4) "Barcarole ("Morning") and (5) Juba (dance); "Go to Sleep," "Carnival Waltz" and "Inspiration Waltzes." He also played Schytte's "Polonase Brillante," Grieg's Nocturne, Rubinstein's Staccato Etude and Coleridge-Taylor's "Let Us Cheer the Weary Traveler."
Among other musical numbers were Foster's "Rose In the Bud" and Hamilt's "Because I Love You," by Miss Blanche Smith; Dvorak's Humoresque and De Bierlot's Adagio, by William Kemp; "My Spanish Rose," by Miss Annie Spiller.
Miss Eliza Coppage read "Nydia, the Blind Girl of Pompei." The officers of the Coleridge-Taylor Music club are Miss Bessie Burke, president; Clyde Carter, vice president; Miss Eunice Galney, secretary; William Kemp treasurer.
GRADUATES SHOWER HONORS UPON REV. DR. G. M. P. KING
King Gateway Dedicated With Impressive Ceremonies at Union University
By N. BARNETT DODSON. [Class of 1891-Wayland.]
An important feature in connection with the commencement season at the Virginia Union university was the dedication of King gateway, at the entrance to the university, on Wednesday, June 3, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The gate was erected in honor of the Rev. Dr. G. M. P. King, who was president of Wayland seminary, in Washington, until Wayland and the old Richmond (Va.) institute were consolidated to form the Virginia Union university, in Richmond, Va.
Funds for the erection of the gate, posts and tablets were contributed by graduates of the two former schools and the present university in appreciation of Dr. King's great and unselfish services to them as individuals and of his services to the race generally as a true friend and educator. While Dr. King is not now engaged in teaching at the university on account of his advanced age, he is nevertheless deeply interested in the work of the institution.
Addresses were delivered by the Rev. J. E. Nash, D. D.; Dr. Dr. A. Blinga, Jr., and the Rev. Dr. R. J. Langston. Responses to these dedicatory addresses were made by Dr. G. M. P. King and President George Rice Hovey, D. D., who spoke for the university. A thrill of tearful joy filled every heart as Dr. King expressed his thanks for such a broad token of his efforts to advance the cause of human brotherhood through the medium of Christian education. Orchestra music for the occasion was led by Professor J. M. Sampson.
The exercises were closed with the benediction after the following ode was sung to the tune of "America:"
Of V. U. U. we sing.
Long may her praise rings
Through all the land!
Scout out her words of praise.
Monuments to her praise.
Make her light brightly blaze
On all around.
And thus we'll sound her praise
Through all the coming days
The land around.
That, loving all mankind.
She sought to ever find
Some good in every mind.
Biest V. U. U.
May blessings on her rest,
The richest and the best.
Heaven's choice gifts.
May guide her side.
May truth with her abide.
While years shall gently glide
With V. U. U.
Hampton Alumni Association to Meet.
The twelfth triennial meeting of the Hampton Institute Alumni association will be held at the school in Hampton, Va., beginning Wednesday, July 15.
Three hundred members are expected to be in attendance. Preparations for the business session and the reunion social functions are now being made.
Of V. U. U. we sing.
LEGISLATOR AND CIVIC LEADER
Brilliant Record of the Hon. P. C. Moore.
NATIVE OF WEST VIRGINIA.
Brief Story of the Useful Life of a Former Lawmaker In Capital of Pennsylvania Who Has Served In Many Capacities — Honored by Knights of Pythiaas.
Harrisburg, Pa.—The true principle of virtue and industry is very much in evidence in the ranks of the order of Knights of Pythia in this state. There will be found in the membership of this organization some of the most progressive young men of the race in Pennsylvania. Among them is a young man who was born in West Virginia. His parents being successful farmers, he was heir to a progressive spirit which has been a predominant feature in the affairs of his life.
P. C. Moore has been a resident of this city for a number of years. He began work as a waiter; then he became a caterer, after which he became interested in local politics.
His first political position was boss of a street curbing gang. In 1900 he aspired to higher political honors. He became a candidate for councilman from the Twelfth ward, being the only Afro-American running for office from this ward, and was elected. He was a member of the common council from 1908 to 1913, at which time the city went under the commission form of government. After his first election to the common council he led the ward ticket in every election. When the city had a Democratic landslide he was elected. At one time he was clerk in the recorder's office. The Hon. Mr. Moore introduced a number of important ordinances while a member of the council. One was of vital interest to parents. The burden
SIR JOHN BROADWAY
HON. P. C. MOORE.
of this ordinance was to prohibit children from attending theaters, roller skating rinks, museums, public dance halls, shows, circuses and other places of amusement during school hours and after 9:30 o'clock in the evening, unless accompanied by an adult person. He also introduced a bill to regulate the manufacture, storage and keeping for sale of certain chemicals and combustibles and providing a license fee therefor. Among the other bills introduced by Mr. Moore for civic improvements was an ordinance to require the fumigation and disinfection of all premises in the city occupied by persons suffering with contagious or infectious diseases. He had a street closed and another opened, and a number of streets were graded through his efforts.
Mr. Moore was appointed on Sept. 23, 1912, messenger out of a large number of white and Afro-American applicants for the department of state fire marshal. On May 31, 1913, the head of his department asked him for his resignation as messenger and then appointed him a clerk and also one of his assistants in his department with an increased salary. It is stated that he is the first colored man in Pennsylvania to receive this recognition as an assistant fire marshal for the state.
This young man of splendid energies is the youngest adjutant in the ranks of the Pythians in this state. He is a member of the Third regiment of the uniform rank of the Knights of Pythias. He is doing a great deal to conserve the very best interests of Pythianism in the Keystone State. Mr. Moore claims that the race problem will largely be solved through the principles of the Knights of Pythias. He is a "self made man," and his contact with men of affairs in his early life had a remarkable impression upon him. He has held the offices of past master of works, past chancellor commander of Pythian lodge No. 34 of Harrisburg and is a delegate to the next grand lodge meeting.
Use Common Sense on Railroad Day. While it will be an honor for any colored person to be asked to speak for the other members of his race to railroad officials on "railroad days." June 7 and 8. it is earnestly hoped that the occasion will not be made one for self seeking. The matter at stake is too important.
