Trustees of Noted School Encouraged. Dr. Washington's Report. New York City.—The annual meeting of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute board of trustees was held at the rooms of the general education board of the Rockefeller foundation, in this city, the last week in June. Among the members present were the Hon. Seth Low, New York city, chairman; Mr. Julius Rosenwald, Chicago; Mr. William C. Willcox, New York city; Mr. Charles E. Mason, Boston; Mr. C. Ware, Tuskegee, Ala.; Mr. William Jay Schleffelin, New York city; Mr. V. H. Tulane, Montgomery, Ala.; Mr. William M. Scott, Philadelphia; Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal; Mr. Warren Logan, treasurer, and Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary, Tuskegee institute, Ala. There were present also at the meeting Mr. Charles H. Gibson, chief accountant, and Mr. R. R. Taylor, director of mechanical industries, Tuskegee institute. Major R. R. Moton of the Hampton Institute, Dr. James H. Dillard of the Jeannes fund board and Hon. J. C. Napler, former register of the United States treasury, were invited to sit with the board during its proceedings. The most important section of the board was the election of three new trustees, Mr. George McAney, president of the board of aldermen, New York city, succeeding the late Robert C. Ogden; Mr. Edward A. Bancroft, chief counsel of the International Harvester company. Chicago, Ill., succeeding the late Dr. John C. Grant of Chicago, and Dr. Alexander Mann, director of Trinity church. Boston. The institute's budget for the year 1914-15, calling for an appropriation approximating $200,000 was approved. The effectiveness of the institute's work in the south in rural school building and its leadership in urging its students to develop farming colonies were matters of especial mention. The report of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the principal of the institute, was listened to with particular interest, and his recommendation calling for a retiring fund for Tuskegee institute teachers and other matters of special interest with regard to the institute's work during the past year received the special consideration of the board. It is the plan to print and circulate Dr. Washington's report as a separate publication early in the fall. The report shows that altogether the school has received from all sources during the past twelve months for current expenses, permanent improvements, additions to the endowment and for special purposes $473,764.92, an increase of $116,432, or $3 per cent over the past year's receipts. The report of the principal and treasurer showed that 849 colored people had contributed toward the expenses of the Tuskegee institute during the past year. While it is not a matter legally or directly connected with the work of the institute, nevertheless a plan was launched at the meeting by which 1,750 acres of land have been purchased near the institute with a view of encouraging young colored men, preferably graduated from the agricultural department of the Tuskegee institute, to settle and become farmers. The money to purchase the land outright was provided, and the land is now being surveyed for the purpose of erecting houses on it for prospective purchasers. It is the idea to make a model Negro farming settlement. On the tract of land are already a gin, store and railroad station. In addition to securing the money for paying for this land, the money was subscribed to pay all the expenses in connection with operating the experiment for a given period. During the meeting of the board of trustees in New York city news was published in the New York newspapers that the Tuskegee institute is to receive $50,000 under the will of the late Mrs. Morris K.

It is said that the Bank of France has an invisible studio in a gallery behind the cashiers, so that at a given signal from one of them any suspected customer can instantly have his photograph taken without his knowledge. ABLE FINANCIER AND CHURCHMAN Scholarly Financial Secretary of the A. M. E. Church Pays Fine Tribute to Business Tact of Bishop Payne. Educational Work of the Denomination Covers Wide Field. Washington.-The great educational work that is being done by the African Methodist Episcopal church is largely stimulated by one of its most prominent laymen, who did a remarkable work for the denomination as secretary of education. In this position Dr. John R. Hawkins became one of the leading educators of the race. Having demonstrated his ability as a financier worthy of any office that his great denomination could bestow upon him, he was elected at the last general conference of this body as financial secretary and was the first layman to be honored in this manner by this connection. Dr. Hawkins is always the principal speaker at the educational congresses of the various conferences of the church, and in speaking recently of the remarkable progress the race is making along educational lines he said: "But the most striking feature of this subject is that which relates to the spirit of 'self help' manifested by the colored people toward establishing and maintaining schools for themselves, schools for our youths, with all colored teachers, colored presidents, colored trustees and supported by con- DR. JOHN B. HAWKINS. tributions principally from colored people. First among these is the African Methodist Episcopal church, which has set the pace for all other denominations in this field of work. "It was a bold undertaking on the part of Bishop Payne when he signed a contract to pay $10,000 without knowing where he could get the first ten dollar bill. But he knew that behind him was a great church with a following of loyal people with great hopes and great possibilities. That obligation was met, and since then this noble man has gone on from one field to another laughing at opposition, removing obstacles, overcoming difficulties and establishing and maintaining schools and colleges. "Today the church stands before the world with twenty-four schools, 5,575 students, 224 teachers and school property valued at $1,650,000. To maintain these schools it is necessary to provide for current expenses of at least $300,000, which is done by voluntary contributions from the members and friends of the church from year to year. "I do it not boastingly when I tell to the world the story of our rise and progress, either as a race or as one special church organization of a certain race. A better idea of what the A. M. M. church is doing as an organization may be had when I tell you that one of the greatest demonstrations of our financial worth is shown in the business of the financial department of the A. M. M. church. There has been reported to this office alone during the fiscal year for which I have just given an account $221,056.75, which represents an increase last year of TUSKEGEE BOARD MEETS.

Interesting Story of a Yale College Graduate Who Was Born on a Plantation In Anderson County, South Carolina, "Over the River"—Gifted Orator and Finished Scholar. Talladega, Ala.—From obscurity and meager circumstances to a position of prominence and influence is the record of one of the most remarkable men of the race, Professor William Pickens of Talladega college in this town. He is an example of what can be accomplished by a young man through industry, honesty and reliability. Professor Pickens, like most men of the race who have made a place in life, was not born in a palace, but comes from slave parents. His life is an inspiration to the boys of his race. As an orator and entertainer he takes his place in the front rank and his services are very much sought in all parts of the country. Anderson county, South Carolina, near the little town of Pendleton, is the place of Professor Pickens' birth, Jan. 25, 1881. It was in the neighborhood called "over the river" and on a farm at that. It is needless to say that his parents were not educated, but they could read and spell a little in a large print New Testament. Mr. Pickens was about two years old when his parents moved from "over the river" to "Price's place." There they lived in a one room cabin, near the great house of the landowner. After a year or two another moving day was inaugurated, and his parents moved from Price's to Clark's place, a more desirable location and nearer Pendleton. It was at this time that William got his first sight into education and became acquainted with the English alphabet, which was learned so readily that his sister took delight in leading him to school, although he was then in the neighborhood of two years under school age. The schoolhouse was, of course, the characteristic school building of that period—built of logs, with one door and one window, the window having no panes and being closed by a board shutter, which swung on leather hinges. Persuasion to study and good deportment consisted of a well seasoned hickory switch, a cone shaped paper "dunce cap" and a stool on which the offender must stand on one foot for an enormous length of time. The Pickenses changed residence oftener than any family in that section of the country. In speaking of their moving William Pickens himself says that his parents must have moved at least twenty times up to the time he reached the age of eighteen years. The next move was to Argenta, Ark. in the winter of 1890. This was a real move city ward and with a view of carrying out what the parents so much desired, and that was educating their children. This prospect stirred the heart of young William Pickens that he learned to write at home before the school opened in the fall or before he could enter, because there was work to be done and means had to be got, so that all started to school in the fall of 1891. Many were the experiences of the young man between that time and the time of his finding his way to Talladega college, for he had determined that it was possible to make it through college. Although he did not have wealth he had health and muscle, and that with three ten dollar bills. This was the beginning for higher things. His impressions made on the teachers, his making the freshman class, and many other things of merit by this young man attracted the attention of all connected with the college, and step by step he was put to the front, sent to the north and east until he found his way into Yale college. Professor Pickens' record at Yale is well known. All will remember how he carried off the prizes, how he won fame and how at this time through that work he is regarded as one of the most finished scholars of the race. He is a worthy example for the young boys of his race. Bad Enough. "I've written a song." "Then be satisfied with that. Don't insist on singing it also."—Detroit Free Press. MEETING OF PUBLISHERS. Muskogee, Okla. to Entertain Press As- sociation in August. Muskogee, Okla.—Newspaper men from all parts of the United States will gather in the Oil City of the West during the month of August to consider plans for the betterment of the craft. This is not the first meeting of the National Negro Press association to be held west of the Mississippi, but it will be the beginning of a better organization and will, no doubt, create more interest among the newspaper men in this section. Muskogee's preparations continue with clocklike precision. Committees of every description are working out well laid plans that have been outlined for the entertainment of the visiting newspaper men. Since their meeting in Nashville, Tennessee, last February, when the executive committee held its midwinter session, all of the hundred or more members of the association have been looking toward Muskogee, and now the entering wedge has been made so that when the official call is sent out from Baltimore the pilgrimage of newspaper men, correspondents, publishers and editors will be turned toward the west. The corresponding secretary's office in Nashville has kept everything moving. The Reciprocal News service that was inaugurated immediately after the midwinter session has proven a wonderful success. Other items looked forward to for accomplishment in August are the final disposition of the standardization of advertising and some recommendations for the inauguration of the plate service, together with the report of the committee appointed as a permanent boosting organization for the association and the report of the committee on the cipher code to be used exclusively by newspaper men belonging to the association by which they will be able to transmit messages among themselves. GUNNER ISSUES APPEAL. Independent Political League's President Save Race Should Get Together Say Race Should Get Together. The Rev. Byron Gunner, president of the National Independent Political league, has issued from Hillburn, N. Y., an appeal to the league and the colored race to rally and prepare to hold a national convention on the maltreatment of colored Americans. The appeal says: The time for the seventh annual meeting of the league is fast approaching, and we should now begin arrangements for it. Serious indeed were the conditions relating to our race and country that made necessary the birth and mission of our league, but existing conditions and the racial and national affairs are incomparably more serious than at any time during the past fifty years. And never has it been more imperative that Negro-American thinkers and voters should get together than today. We are independent Political league, though as an organization only six years in the conflict, occupies a place in the front ranks of those who are contending for the full manhood rights and for the political emancipation of our people. Our league's unwerving identity to the nationalism its unattainable argument for refusing to lay down our arms and to retire from the battlesfield. "The south is in the saddle," and the most vital interests of our people are more seriously imperiled than ever before. The outlook is threatening, and our enemies never seemed more emboldened to accomplish our rule than now. Should the present national administration and the white south and the acquiescing north continue to persist in their work of segregation and other forms of wicked violence, the "NEGO question" to the very front and to make it the gravest and the greatest political and social issue of our day and generation. Present conditions demand a race organization among us to oppose and to force the "NEGO question" to the very front and to make it the gravest and the greatest political and social issue of our day and generation. Present conditions demand a race organization among us to oppose and to force the "NEGO question" to the very front and to make it the gravest and the greatest political and social issue of our day and generation. Such an organization must be made up of men and women of the race who are brave and courageous enough to think and act for themselves and to cast their own eyes with perfect freedom and independence. Just such an organization is the National Independent Political league. Having entered the political field in defense of our oppressed people, we shall not hesitate and act for themselves and to cast their own eyes with perfect freedom and independence. whose principles and efforts may tend to endanger the "war amendments" or to work any injustice to the 10,000,000 of our Negro-American brethren. We will oppose and to withdraw from the freedom to work with whatever party which will give our people the fairest deal and to withdraw from and oppose any party that may prove recurrent in its duties and pledges in behalf of our people. Our political league can ever be made of any political party. We shall continue to educate and elevate among the masses of our people the spirit of political independence.

To improve the golden moment of opportunity and catch the good that is within our reach is the great art of life.-Samuel Johnson. ZEALOUS WORKER FOR EDUCATION KNOWS HOW TO GET RESULTS Personal Story of the Labors of a Tuskegee Institute Graduate Ameng the People of Caroline County, Va. Hearty Co-operation in Effort to Secure Better Schoolhouses. Mrs. Nannie Lee Butler, who was graduated from Tuskegee institute in 1911 and is now serving as an industrial supervising teacher in Caroline county, Va., tells an interesting and prophetic story of the awakening of the colored people to the possibility of having, even under most adverse conditions, better schools, better homes and better community response to pressing needs. "Shortly after I took up my work as an industrial supervisor the state of Virginia, through the superintendent of public instruction, offered to provide the salary of a second teacher for every community that would build a two room school according to the state plans," said Mrs. Butler on a recent visit to Hampton institute. "I went into four communities and tried to show the advantages and wisdom of heeding this call. Each community that I visited, although it was poor, took up the struggle, and my personal contributions of work, money and materials all of the four schools, each costing $1,500 and having two teachers, had been built and occupied during the past year. "Sacrifices were made by our people to accomplish this result. At Bowling Green one man, whose property holdings are valued at only a thousand dollars and who has a growing family of eight to support, gave out of his weekly earnings in one year $250. How did he do it? Not all at once at some big rally. Sometimes at the freight office he would pay a bill for lime, cement or other material, and at the next meeting of the School Improvement league he would quietly hand the receipt to the treasurer. "One man who did the mason work gave one-half of his time free. Another man who lives in a shabby, rented tenement, contributed $5 of the $8 he had received for laying the cement floors of the porches. Still another man who did not have the ready money did have timber land, from which he cut and hauled logs to the mill and contributed the lumber cut from them. "To push the work more rapidly the women gathered at one school, and while the men of the community put on the weather boarding the women nailed on the laths on all the side walls and finished their tasks without a smashed finger. Many of the women who are helping to support their families by washing (and, I might say, that 25 cents is the price paid for an individual laundry in Caroline county) have time and time again contributed the whole amount to push along the work of school building. "Last year the colored people raised by contributions, without help from the school board, some $5,400 for buildings and school improvements. We are now striving to raise $6,000 to build four more graded schools. We are also striving to collect $200 to equip properly the workroom at Bowling Green, for wherever new graded schools have supplanted the one room schools we are endeavoring to use the old buildings as workrooms in which will be taught sewing, cooking and housekeeping to the girls and manual training to the boys. Every school that has been reached has been awakened to the idea of doing something definite to improve conditions and to make the school buildings and grounds attractive. "Through the summer work we have been better able to reach the homes, and by teaching the children in their own homes we have been able to influence the mothers. Wherever possible mothers' clubs have been formed. They have for their purpose not the raising of money for the schools, but the changing of the morals and the manners of the children in the home, along the highway and in the school." "My preparation for work in this great forward movement I owe to Tuskegee. There from the big heart of Dr. Booker T. Washington I learned the lessons of unselfishness and service. In sending me out to do industrial work he took me by the hand and said, 'We don't expect you to fail.' Thus he gave me inspiration to put into practice the lessons he had learned at Hampton and which he had taught me at Tuskegee." Georgia Educators to Meet July 28. President Richard R. Wright of the Georgia State college in Savannah, Ga., has again shown his interest in the cause of education by agreeing to entertain the members of the Georgia Association of Teachers in colored schools at the annual meeting of the association, to be held in Savannah, beginning Tuesday morning, July 28, for two days free of charge. Professor M. W. Reddick, president of the association, says that the program for the coming session will be one of unusual interest. He, therefore, urges a large attendance.

Miss Maud Reynolds Corrects Mistake Regarding Home For Wayward Girl. Roanoke, Va.-In a letter to H. C. Young, editor of the Newport News Star, Newport News, Va., Miss Maud Reynolds of this city makes the following statement regarding her connection with the Virginia State Federation of Women's Clubs: In a recent issue of your spicy journal it was stated that I am the founder of the Virginia State Federation of Women's Clubs. I am the founder and do not wish to take honors which do not belong to me. This institution is being established by the Virginia State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs under the leadership of the president and director. I am simply one of the officers, working for the cause. I regret very seriously that this mistake has been published, and I do hope that the above corrections will place me in the proper light before the public. Respectfully, (MISS) MAUD RYNOLDSE Roanoke, Va. Meeting of the Jeanes Fund Board.

The "Star" has called the attention of its readers a number of times to the excellent work and the success of Mr. Frank Peoples, our Minneapolis Contractor and Builder. It has done so because of pride in the achievements of this well equipped Afro-American Citizen along lines essentially different from the ordinary, and because of the assurance of support from our citizens. Mr. Peoples' success offers for those who come among us prepared to give value received. We learn from Mr. Peoples that his business shows a steady growth as confidence in his ability and integrity increase. It is the ambition of Mr. Peoples to conduct his building operations with the help of skilled Colored Mechanics. For this purpose he has consulted Mr. Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee, and through this source has entered into negotiations with a number of the Tuskegee Graduates. One of them, Mr. W. A. Bostock, for a number of years in charge of Tuskegee's mechanics, has accepted an engagement with Mr. Peoples, and is now employed in construction under way in this city and St. Paul. Bearing in mind the scarcity of suitable houses for Afro-American tenants, the Peoples' office is making strenuous efforts to induce our people to build. Mr. Peoples is building upon a lot owned by himself located at 3849 Fourth Ave. S., a modern Five Thousand Dollar, Ten-Room Duplex. This will soon be ready for occupancy, and will be offered to Afro-American renters. In St. Paul, Mr. Peoples has under way a modern Five-Room Bungalow, constructed for Mr. O. E. Williams at 1366 Blair St. This, when completed, will be one of the cosiest and most attractive of St. Paul's homes. In a dwelling nearing completion, being built for Mr. W. M. Smith, of the P. O. Dept., Minneapolis, Mr. People is constructing a home designed along unusual lines. Every inch of space is skillfully used in this dwelling which contains eight rooms, a bath, a full basement, a sun porch, hot water heat—all the modern requirements assembled in a most attractive way. The dwelling will be stucco, hardwood throughout, and will cost complete Four Thousand Dollars." Churches should pay their pastors. It appears that ministers are expected to live simply by the grace of God on unpaid salaries. Should Use Capital "N." Please use the capital "N" in Negro. Our exchanges are careful to give distinction to the Indian, Chinman, and all other races, but mention the Negro with a small "n." A prosperous outlook Messrs. Owen Howell, J. H. Zedricks and Editor Adams deserve great credit for the organization of the Negro Business Men and Employees, of St. Paul. They are having monthly meetings addressed by representative citizens and serve a real feast for 35 cents, which would do credit to any citizen. We want to see the present enthusiasm continue, and wish for its success. It is a step in the right direction and a movement among Negroes for Commercial consideration, which can come only from the co-operation of those who represent the capital and labor of the race. THE WORD "NEGRO" Use the word "Negro" always. We are surprised to know of so many of our race in this city, who claim to be of African parentage, or can trace their ancestry to the first landing of the Africans in this country. We are real Negroes, whenever the trace of Ethiopian blood is found in our veins, especially if born in America—Cut out this Afro-American—term and use "Negro." We will publish the names of churches, lodges, and societies in our directory at reasonable rates on application. READ OUR ADVERTISEMENTS TWIN CITY STAR PROGRESS IN MEDICAL LORE High Mark Attained by Dr. O. D. Porter. HONORED BY HIS FELLOWS. Qualities in the Life of a Former Schoolteacher Which Have Made Him a Power In the Practice of His Profession — Leader In Movements For Racial Advancement. Bowling Green, Ky.—One of the foremost citizens in this city and section of the state is Dr. O. D. Porter, a practicing physician of high standing and known ability. He is a native of this town and received his early education in the public schools. Possessing a bright mind, he advanced rapidly, and after finishing the prescribed course of study he taught in the county school. His ability to get the best results from his pupils soon attracted wide attention. In order to better prepare himself for life's work he entered Fisk university, Nashville, Tenn., in 1884. By persist- M. B. O. D. PORTER, M. D. ence in his studies he took rank among the best in his class. Having to provide the money for his expenses single handed. Dr. Porter taught school both in Tennessee and Texas at various times during his college course. He graduated from Fisk university in the class of 1891, with the degree of bachelor of arts. After his graduation at Fisk Dr. Porter entered the Meharry Medical college at Nashville, Tenn., where after three years of hard study he graduated, returned to his home, passed his medical examination and began the practice of his profession. By close application to business, painstaking and courteous to all in his dealings, he has won success and is held in high esteem by the public. Dr. Porter attributes much of his success to Mrs. Porter, who is always on the alert in the home to relieve her husband of such things as would take him from his business or studies. She was a Miss Carrie Bridges of Macon, Miss, before becoming Mrs. Porter. She was educated at Fisk university and is well fitted both by education and experience in public life to preside over the exacting duties of a busy household. The public takes keen interest in Dr. Porter's work. The white physicians have no hesitancy in sitting in consultation with him because they know his worth and ability as a physician, and therefore value very highly his opinion in cases which require rare skill and experience. Dr. Porter is a former president of the National Medical association, having served from 1900 to the annual meeting in 1901. His annual address upon retiring from the presidency of the association was replete with helpful suggestions, many of which have since crystallized into tangible form for the good of the profession. He is one of the founders of the State Medical association of Kentucky, of which he is still a member. He is thoroughly interested in all business, social or benevolent movements for the advancement of the race in this city and vicinity, and never refuses to give encouragement to the struggling young men and women of the race. As busy as Dr. Porter is with matters as above indicated, he devotes time to religious work in his church in an official capacity. Dr. Porter believes in race co-operation along all lines, and his willingness to help his people by serving at the head of many organized bodies for uplift in this city is an evidence of his sincerity. Census Reports on City Population. Nearly one-third of the population of Washington is colored, according to the compilation of the census bureau, recently issued. Philadelphia stands third of cities in its percentage of colored population. The total estimated population of Washington this year is 853,378, of which 101,339 are colored. In Philadelphia it is estimated that the population this year will be 1,657,810, of which 91,652 are reported as colored. In 1910 the number was 85,657. THE NEW DIXIE HOSPITAL. Much Needed Institution at Hampton Has Angela Modern Equipment Mckinley Hospital at Hampton Has Ample Modern Equipment. Hampton, Va.-The new Dixie hospital connected with the Hampton institute in this town was recently completed at a cost of over $70,000. The building fund donation list shows that Dr. Albert Howe of the Hampton institute was able to secure the hearty co-operation of the people of lower Virginia and of many others throughout the country. The hospital with its excellent equipment will minister to the needs of both white and colored people living in Hampton and the neighboring communities. Dr. Howe says in his report: "The new building is pleasantly situated on the shore of Hampton creek amid trees which add much to its attractiveness and comfort, and is very accessible, being on the car line, but far enough removed to insure privacy. There are four wards of ten beds each and two overflow wards, which have been finished off in the third story, to be used when necessary. There are fourteen private rooms, a diet kitchen for them and one for the wards on each floor; a finely equipped operating room, with sterilizing and dressing rooms for physicians and nurses adjoining; the necessary administration offices, dining rooms for staff and for nurses, kitchen and serving rooms, and over these, separated from the hospital by a brick wall, are twenty rooms for nurses. "Both building and equipment equal if they do not surpass any hospital in the state and give opportunity for a far wider scope of usefulness in the future. The Dixie is the only public hospital on the peninsula, and many cases come to it from Cape Charles, Williamsburg and the surrounding country. These as well as the immediate community will reap the benefits of its increased facilities. The new nurses' home will enable the training school to enlarge its number and to add to the efficiency of its graduates. "About $0,000 must still be raised to complete the payment for building and equipment. The report of the building fund shows that about $63,000 has already been given, but extras over the contract price and the cost of grading and equipment are large, and of the meager furnishings of the old Dixie little was worth transferring to the new. In looking forward to a large future the accomplishments of the past year must not be forgotten. Nearly 450 patients have been cared for, and the medical and surgical reports show with what excellent results. There have been twenty-four nurses in training. They have come largely from Virginia, but various parts of the south and west are represented, and among the number are two Indian girls. "The nurses recently had an opportunity to prove themselves in an emergency when the laundry, a frame building closely adjoining the nurses' home, was destroyed by fire. It was well after midnight when the fire was discovered, and it had gained such headway that the other buildings were in danger. Undoubtedly the fames would have spread to them had not the nurses formed a bucket brigade and kept walls and roofs wet until the Hampton fire department arrived. While they were unable to save the laundry, their prompt assistance prevented more serious damage." The Naked Truth: An old fable says that Truth and Falsehood went in bathing together. Falsehood came first out of the water and dressed herself in Truth's garments. True, unwilling to put on Falsehood's clothes, went naked. Strength of an Elephant. It is said that a full grown elephant is strong enough to carry three tons on its back. Green sunsets seen by the Russian explorers in the polar regions have been matched in England. Throughout November and December of 1888 the sunsets and afterglasses were of wonderful intensity and varied colors. At Chelsea especially the sun went down over the Thames amid a blaze of unearthly beauty ranging from deepest red to green, as may be seen in a series of water color sketches made at the time and now preserved in the Chelsea free library. Sir Norman Lockyer and other astronomers attributed these winter sunsets to the volcanic dust projected by the eruption of Krakatoa, in Java, in the previous August. NEWSPAPER LAW.

Austin, of Bates County Record, vs. Burge, other members concurring, and published in 137 S. W.

Sagamore, July 2.—Feeling ran high at the sociological conference today, when in an open forum there was advocated intermarriage with the Negro, the Jew and the Japanese, and the formation of a huge Negro labor organization which should control the labor of the South. The exclusion of the Japanese from California was also called unchristian. The Speakers. Dr. Jacques Loeb of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, New York, first startled his audience when he said the facts of biology and eugenics pointed to the advisability of inter-marriage of black, white and yellow races. Hutchins Hapgood of New York proposed the Negro labor organization, and Professor Nathaniel Schmidt of Cornell University said the Jews should amalgamate. The Rev. Kakichi Taumeashima, a Tokio pastor, called it unchristian to exclude the Japanese. Dr. A. Caswell Ellis of the University of Texas said the social recognition of the Negro would mean a mulatto race. Sald Dr. Loeb: "Biology has nothing to support the supposition that a pure white or a pure black race is superior to a mulatto. On the contrary, Luther Burbank's success lies in finding breeds that possess superior powers of resistance to climatic and other hardships. Various other scientists, biologists and eugenicists have found that the offspring of mixed races are the hardier offspring. "While in some cases a mixed progeny is worse, in others it is better than a pure breed, and that scientific fact is enough to show the absurdity of the belief in the South that the intermarriage of the white and black races should be considered a felony. America is itself the result of a mixture of races." Hutchins Hapgood said: "I wish the Negro could start in the South a distrust of our civilization and our morality. "He ought to have a big organization of unskilled labor comparable to the I. W. W. But a Negro should be the one to start the movement. What would not the race do when it controlled the labor market of the South? It could force a respect which no amount of Christianity can give the Negro." Mrs. Tsumeashima said, "Any peaceful solution of the Japanese question in California merely from the legal or political standpoint is impossible. It is time for the Christians to fight for the principle of humanity and save the relations between the two nations. We fail to see why the Japanese can't be amalgamated when he has adopted the western civilization so wonderfully. The Japanese today is more closely related to Europe than to China in his individualism. It is general that people without character are always protecting a reputation. A.

The formation of purposes in life is a serious thing. We ought to form purposes now that will satisfy us throughout all eternity.

Some Facts About the Origin of a Noted School in Ohio, One of the leading magazines of the country, printed in Boston, speaking of Wilberforce university says: "The auditor of the state of Ohio announces that a monthly article will be issued describing the activities of the various departments and institutions of Ohio. The one for July is devoted to Wilberforce university and deals with the progress that has been made in Ohio in the education of the colored race. "The first move to furnish a seminary of learning for the colored race in Ohio originated with Daniel A. Payne, a self educated Negro of Charleston, S. C. As a result of his efforts Union seminary, near Columbus, was organized in 1844. That Payne was one of the great benefactors of his race and had rare foresight is shown by the fact that the school was started on the manual training plan. "Union summary by reason of location and other circumstances made slow growth, but it was the pioneer and contributed largely to the founding of Wilberforce university and was finally, in 1863, consolidated with the latter institution. While there are numerous small colleges, there are only about a half dozen great universities in America for the higher education of the Negro race—Atlanta university, Fisk, at Nashville; Howard, at Washington; Shaw, at Raleigh; Leland, at New Orleans, and Wilberforce, at Xenia—and Wilberforce stands at the head of the list." INFLUENCE OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION WIDELY FELT. Militant Organization Continue Campaign Against Unjust Legislation. Louisville, Ky.—The colored people of this city are aroused over the segregation ordinance recently passed and are taking steps to protect their interests. Mr. Chapin Brinsmade, the attorney for the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, has been here giving the matter the closest study. On July 5 the local branch of the national association held a great meeting of protest, at which Dr. J. E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National association, and Professor William Pickens of Talladega college were the chief speakers. This is the association which investigated segregation in government departments at Washington, and largely through its efforts that undemocratic movement was checked. In Baltimore, through its local branch, it has twice won segregation cases, the last time before the supreme court of the state. It is now preparing to carry a case brought under the new ordinance in Baltimore to the supreme court of the United States. In Kansas City, where the homes of the colored people were dynamited in order to make them move from a desirable neighborhood, which they owned and had developed and improved, they were unable to obtain redress from city or state authorities until the National association intervened. The association stands for equality of opportunity, equality in the courts, the civil and political rights of the colored man. Its membership includes white and colored. It is not sectional, having branches as far south as Alabama and Texas and numbering among its members representative southern white people. Its board of directors includes some of the most representative people of both races—Miss Jane Addams, Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, Mr. Archibald H. Grimke, Miss Mary White Ovington, Miss Florence Kelley, Dr. John Haynes Holmes, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, Dr. J. E. Spittarn and many others. Dr. Spingarn was for ten years professor of comparative literature in Columbia university. He is internationally known as a scholar, author and critic. His book of verse, "The New Hesperides," has received high praise, numbering among its admirers the late John Hay, who wrote of it in terms of flattering appreciation. Professor William Pickens is known as a teacher and lecturer. He is an orator of remarkable eloquence. He graduated from Yale with high honors, having been elected commencement speaker. FOR NATIONAL PROTECTION. Independent Political League Prepared For Security Annual Generation For seventh Annual Convention. The seventh annual meeting of the National Independent Political league, to be held in August, will be in the nature of a national gathering of those colored Americans who believe that, in view of the great discrimination, prescription and persecution of colored persons as such, they should have a national organization of self defense and self protection, as every other racial class suffering from prejudice has. All colored citizens who believe that in every state there should be such a self protection organization and that these should be connected into a national whole are urged to attend and also to communicate their views on the subject at once to the corresponding secretary, William Monroe Trotter, at 49 Cornhill, Boston The league hopes for a large attendance from all parts of the country. every church and every society being empowered to send delegates on the basis of a many agitation and use of the ballot. The place of meeting will be announced later. LEAGUE SOUNDS NOTE OF WARNING Only Through Organization Can Negroes Combat Forces Now Pressing Hard Against Them—Work of National Association For Advancement Warmly Commended In Resolution. Yonkers, N. Y.—The Westchester County Negro league recently held its annual convention at McCann's hall in this city under auspicious circumstances. Delegates were present from the following cities and towns in the county: Peekskill, Croton Point, Ossining, Tarrytown, White Plains, Mount Vernon, Port Chester, Rye and Yonkers. The personnel of the convention was made up of a representative class of the Negro citizens of these localities. The purpose of the meeting was stated by the president. Paul H. Bray of this city. In a brief address President Bray gave a resume of the work done by JOHN H. HARRIS PAUL H. BRAY. the league during the six years of its existence and urged upon the delegates the importance of putting forth greater efforts in the future. There is greater need for unity of action among the Negroes today than ever before in the history of the race since the war, said Mr. Bray. Hostile forces are pressing us backward. We must check this, and there is only one way to do it, and that is through organization. Every loyal colored man in the county should be an active member of the Westchester Negro league, he continued. It is indeed very encouraging to note that we have enlisted in our cause before the country such eminent and influential persons as Hon. Oswald Garrison Villard, publisher of the New York Evening Post; Hon. Thomas Ewing, Jr., who is the present United States commissioner of patents; Mrs. La Follette, wife of the Wisconsin senator; Senator Moses Clapp of Minnesota and Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washington. Among the many important matters that commanded the attention of the convention was a plan for the organization of a woman's auxiliary to the league, which was proposed and explained by Mr. Harvey of Mount Vernon. The members took up the plan with enthusiasm and unanimously adopted it. Mr. Stephen A. Bennett of Yonkers offered a resolution which cited the alarming and acute conditions confronting the Negro in the country. It emphasized the need for a united effort on the part of every Negro in Westchester county. The work being done by the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People was specially commended. The officers are: Paul H. Bray, Yonkers, president; A. B. Young, Ossining, vice president; Chris Pryor, White Plains, corresponding secretary; Reginald Allen, Yonkers, recording secretary; A. A. Thornton, Yonkers, treasurer; Howard Van Norden, Port Chester, sergeant-at-arms. The selection of the county executive committee was deferred in order to give the president time to consult the wishes of the members in the locality from which the committeemen are to be appointed. Brief and interesting speeches for the good of the league were made by Thomas S. Lane, the only Negro member of the Republican city committee of Yonkers; Sterling Lambert, Jordan Crudup of Yonkers, Samuel B. Halstead of Peekskill, William Nelson and Mr. Moten of Tarrytown, J. W. Owens of White Plains and Howard Van Norden of Port Chester President Bray is well and favorably known throughout the county. He is an active member of several fraternal organizations. He has served as special deputy grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of the state. At the present time he represents Lincoln lodge No. 17 of this city. Mr. Bray is also the exalted ruler of Westchester lodge, Order of Elks, Tarrytown, N. Y.
