Washington's Annual Address Is Crowning Event of First Day's Program at Fifteenth Annual Meeting—Time to Inaugurate New Policy, He Says. Muskogee, Okla.-The fifteenth annual meeting of the National Negro Business league was held in this city at Convention hall from Wednesday, Aug. 19, to Friday, Aug. 21, inclusive. The sessions were attended by delegates from local business leagues from all sections of the country. The program bristled with interest throughout the meetings as those who took part outlined their struggles and achievements in the various lines of business. The climax of the first day's program was the Wednesday evening session, when Dr. Booker T. Washington, president of the league, delivered his annual address. He, in part, said: "Throughout the world ten millions and more of black people in the United States are being observed and studied in a larger measure than is true of any similar group of black people in existence or perhaps that has ever existed. People from all parts of the world interested in the civilization of black people are coming to the United States to study the condition and the progress of the American Negro; for, after all is said, if there is any place where the Negro has a chance to show his mettle it is right here in the United States. "For this reason, as well as for the sake of ourselves, it is a matter of extreme importance that we not disappoint ourselves nor those who are studying and observing us. Within the fifty years of our freedom and even before physical freedom came great and almost marvelous progress has been made, but we must not rest upon the past. We must continue to go forward. "Before beginning the body of my remarks there are a few simple but fundamental things to which I wish to direct the special attention of each local league. These things I ask in order that the usefulness of the league may be still further felt among the 10,000,000 of our people. "First of all, do not fritter away too much time in your meeting in technicalities known as parliamentary rules. "Second.—Let each local league study the condition and needs of our people in its community and devote itself to doing that which will promote the commercial, industrial, educational, professional and moral life of our race in that community. "Third.—Have a regular time of meeting and always have a meeting at that time. "Fourth.—Strive to have a regular place of meeting, one that shall be attractive and convenient. "Fifth.—Have for each meeting a carefully arranged program that shall strike at some definite thing. A general program means little. Serving refreshments often helps. "Sixth.—Each local league should strive to gather into its membership every man and woman who is interested in any kind of honorable business, no matter how humble that business may appear to be. "Seventh.—Each league should have for one of its objects the bringing of the white man, by whose side we live, into friendly and sympathetic contact with the progress of the race. One way to do this is to invite successfully white men to visit and speak to the local leagues. The white man will help, and we will be helped. "I believe that the time has come when we as a race should begin preparing to enter upon a new policy and a new program. In plain but in emphatic words I want to suggest whether the time has not come when we should get off the defensive in things that concern our present and future and begin to inaugurate everywhere an aggressive and constructive progressive policy in business, industry, education, moral and religious life and in our conduct generally. We must follow the teachings of the Master. when he said, 'Overcome evil with good.' "A general, however able, who contents himself with merely holding the territory that he occupies or merely devotes himself to defending himself against the assaults of the enemy is not the general who gains renown for genuine leadership or gains the confidence of the world. A general who occupies much of his time in explaining the weakness of the enemy or the unjust assaults or tactics of the enemy is not the general who wins many battles. So it is in business of every kind. "For example, the merchant who merely contents himself with holding his present trade without covering new ground in the way of increased patronage and trading in new territory is not the merchant who gets much of a rating for success in the business world. The merchant, again, who spends his time pointing out the weakness of another's business is not getting very far on the road to business success. All the energy you have to "knock" with, all the energy you have to voice complaints, coin that energy into improved methods of handling your own merchandise. "In few other parts of the world is there a greater chance for the Negro to get off the defensive through protection from the soil than is true in this section. As I have stated, in no other part of the United States is there greater opportunity for the Negro than in the six states adjacent to Muskogee—namely, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma. These six states comprise the greatest live stock and poultry section of the United States. About one-fourth of all the live stock in the country is in this section. This section is also great for poultry raising. The poultry owned in these six states is worth over $31,000,000 and is one-fifth the value of all the poultry in the country. "My own observation and statistics indicate that this is also one of the greatest farming districts in the United States. Almost 40 per cent of all the cotton raised in the country is produced in these states, and a great amount of corn, oats, wheat and potatoes is also raised. Here are, indeed, great opportunities for the Negro farmer. There are in the six states adjacent to this city 153,000,000 acres of unimproved land. This is an area of over 200,000 square miles. It is equal to the area of all the New England states, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Ohio together. "In this great tract of unimproved Cont. to page 2, col. 4. DR. B. T.

ODD FELLOWS' SUPREME COURT. By B. J. Davis, Chief Justice. There is a well organized effort on throughout the several jurisdictions to discredit the Supreme Court of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, and I feel that I owe it not only to myself as an individual, but to the court as its chief officer to answer some of the many charges made against the institutions' usefulness. I can make the defense or explanation without fear or favor, for the reason I am not a candidate to succeed myself. Whether the court is preserved or destroyed, I am not even eligible for membership on its bench, there fore, I am in a position to discuss the matter without bias and impartiality. The general tirade against the court is organized and prosecuted by the politicians in the order, by those who want place and plunder. If the government of our order in this country has any genius at all, that genius is representative. Our government is largely republican in form and is fashioned after the government of the United States. It is divided into three branches, executive, legislative and judicial; and each of these branches are just as essential in the economy of our fraternal scheme of government as said branches are essential in the government of our country. The officers of our order, like the officers of our government, are controlled by the consent of the governed. The people themselves are the creators, and the officeholders, sub committee, court and all are the creatures, and there is no just power except that which derives from the consent of the people. It is the duty of the S. C. M., which is the executive branch, to enforce the laws when is knows them. It is the duty of the B. M. C., the legislative branch, to make the laws, and the duty of the Supreme Court, the judicial branch, to interpret the law. It is generally understood in this country that the Grand Master is at the head of the opposition to the court. The court is a creature of the Grand Master's brain. He conceived, drew and introduced the scheme that gave to us the court. If it was a good thing when he drew the plan and had it passed, it is a good thing now. It came from his lodge, Hutchinson Lodge, 1362. The Grand Master created this branch of the order that he might have an easy way to pass the balance of his days on the pay roll. He did not hesitate to tell us at Baltimore that in the event he was not elected he only wanted to be chief justice; and if he was elected, he only wanted to serve two years and then he retired to the bench to serve the balance of his days. He fixed the salaries; if they are extravagant, he fixed them, and the act was practically adopted by the 15th B. M. C., as Grand Master Morris wrote it. Why he has turned on his child and seeks to kill it we will undertake to show further on in this article. 1. The general charge against the court is that it is useless and without a place in the economy of our government. This is not true, and shows ignorance on the part of many, and meanness on the part of others. Every republican form of government has three branches, executive, legisl- Cont. to page 4, col. 2. CONVENTION OF SUNDAY SCHOOLS PROGRAM OF MANY TOPICS. Delegates and Visitors In Large Numbers Enjoy Contact With Leaders of Religious Thought—President A. M. Moore Recommends Increase in Annual Funds For Educational Work. Durham, N. C.—From the singing of the first anthem by the augmented chorus of a hundred voices down to the last benediction there was an atmosphere of cordial fellowship and mutual co-operation in the legislation, deliberations and discussions of the state Baptist Sunday school convention, which met here recently. More than 500 delegates and visitors were present. Dr. A. M. Moore, the president, being incapacitated by a severe kick from his horse the previous night, was unable to officiate, and Dr. E. M. Brawley presided. Dr. Brawley with few but thoughtful words welcomed the delegates on behalf of the church and introduced Mr. C. C. Spaulding. Mr. Spaulding extended greetings to the convention on behalf of the colored citizens of Durham and introduced Mayor W. J. Brogden. The mayor is a forceful speaker, possessing a rare knowledge of the problems of Christianity, fortified by extended practical experience and a natural sincerity of purpose. His address was frequently interrupted by enthusiastic aplause. Dr. E. E Smith of Fayetteville responded to the welcome addresses. The annual sermon was preached by Dr. C. S. Brown of Winton, N. C. The president's annual address was read by A. L. Holsey. The address opened with a retrospective fore PRESIDENT A. M. MOORE thought, in which the work of the past year was reviewed. The need of cooperation and closer contact between the church and Sunday school and a suggestion offered that the fund maintained by the convention for the aid of deserving girls who are attending school be increased to $500 per year were also points of interest in the president's address. Dr. Moore favored a plan to help promote, control and maintain the theological department of Shaw university, making this institution the recognized head of the educational work in the state. He also favored institute work for Sunday school teachers in district conventions. Dr. A. W. Pegues, the corresponding secretary, followed the president's address with his annual report. His findings and recommendations included better equipment and more literature for the Baptist schools of the state; a closer relationship between the state convention and the district convention; an increase in the scholarships for deserving girls to $25, and more attention to the orphan asylums. The newly appointed missionary secretary, Rev. M. A. Tally, made an encouraging report. The report of Colonel James H. Young, the treasurer, was convincing proof that the convention is making rapid progress. "Teacher Training" and "Sunday School Evangelism" were subjects ably discussed by Dr. E. M. Brawley and Rev. A. B. Vincent. Dr. S. N. Vass, travelling secretary of the American Baptist Publication society, delivered a highly instructive Bible lecture. The round table discussion, led by Dr. E. M. Smith and Rev. J. H. Moore, were very interesting and helpful. The receipts of this session amounted to $1,100. A Layman's Missionary association was organized and will hold its next meeting at Hamlet, N. C., in November. Professor J. W. Palsley was elected president and Professor J. A. Dyer corresponding secretary. Labor Day Festivities, Montclair, N. J. The citizens of Montclair, N. J., have arranged for a grand demonstration on Labor day, which will include an industrial and civic parade, speaking and a big luncheon. Dr. Booker T. Washington and party will be the special guests of the occasion. Dr. Washington and party will tour New Jersey Sept. 7 to 9, inclusive, beginning at Morristown Monday, Sept. 7. New Weekly Paper in Montclair, N. J. The Eastern Observer is the name of a promising six column weekly paper which recently made its appearance in Montclair, N. J. J. E. Sadler is the editor and owner of the Observer, which has a territory in which to circulate where there is no other paper published by our race. The National Negro Press association welcomes the newcomer into its membership and wishes Editor Sadler much success. STRONG POLITICAL AGENCY. National Independent Organization to Hold Convention In New York. The Rev. Byron Gunner, president of the National Independent Political league, in his final message to the members of the organization regarding the coming annual meeting, says: "Dear Fellow Courages—The preliminary call for the seventh annual meeting of the National Independent Political league has already been published. The call, however, was issued before the exact date and place for the meeting could be determined. Now that it is settled as to when and where we shall convene it remains only to announce the same and to add a brief word of earnest appeal to our people in all sections of the United States to awake and to get together in self defense of their own most vital civil, social and political interests. "The meeting will be held in the Bethel church, New York city, from Sept. 7 to 9, Inclusive. "We feel peculiarly fortunate in being able to announce that the seventh annual meeting of the N. I. P. L. is to be held in New York city in the new edifice of the Bethel A. M. E. church, of which the Rev. B. W. Arnett, D. D., is pastor. We are to meet on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the 7th, 8th and 9th, just previous to the great national Baptist convention to be held in the city of Philadelphia. "The determined purpose of the league is to assist in leading our Negro-American population out of political bondage, to wage perpetual and eternal war against any and all kinds of segregation based on race or color and to restore the federal franchise to our oppressed brethren in the southern states. These needed reforms cannot, we believe, be successfully accomplished for us by our friends of other races. While we appreciate their interest and welcome their assistance, we know that 'they who would be free must themselves strike the blow.' We must as a fundamental factor in the struggle produce and follow our own lenders, and we must get together and work and fight for ourselves or we can never be free. "At any necessary cost and sacrifice we must educate the masses of our people to become an independent, race loving people. The impression that has been deliberately built up and published worldwide that we are a child race and therefore are not to be dealt with as other races is a false claim that we must as a people blow to atoms. This false impression has been studiously disseminated throughout this and other civilized countries, taken up and expounded by teachers, editors and politicians everywhere. Such damaging impressions of our people should begin to stir us to action. "We therefore call upon not only the members of the league, but upon all self respecting men and women of color to co-operate and join with us in our struggle for equal civil, social and political rights as American citizens. Come to our annual meeting, join the league or give it your moral and financial support. Organize branch leagues, plan to attend the meetings, assist financially and in every other way possible. Let all churches, lodges, civic, literary and equal rights societies send delegates, and let us demonstrate to the world that we are determined to become American freemen. "Yours for freedom. "BYRON GUNNER, President." ADVERTISING IN THE STAR SMOKE THE RELIABLE SIGHT DRAFT CIGAR No. 45 PRACTICAL BUSINESS MAN. Fine Record of George Wesley Blount as Educator and Financier. Newport News, Va.—What will prove to be a new epoch in the life of the Crown Savings bank of this city, which is headed by E. C. Brown and others, and which has for many years been a prominent factor in the commercial development of the race here, was the recent election by the board of directors of the bank of Mr. George Wesley Blount as director and general business manager. His election to this important position came by reason of his peculiar fitness for the same. Mr. Blount is one of the most popular and best known business men in this section of the state, which has been brought out through the institutions with which he as been actively affiliated a number of years. He stands high in the estimation of all who know him and his appointment to his present position is hailed with delight by his host of friends and admirers. He graduated from the academic and business departments of Hampton in GEORGE WESLEY BLOUNT. stitute and supplemented his training with additional study in business colleges in Boston. For six years he was an accountant in the treasurer's department at Hampton institute; four years assistant to Major R. R. Moton, Hampton's well known commandant; ten years a teacher of bookkeeping, practical business methods and principles in the business department of Hampton institute; member of the executive committee and corresponding secretary of the Negro Organization society of Virginia; member of the Business league and the Bachelors' club. The Crown Savings bank has been adding to its force from time to time people of thorough training and experience, and it is believed here in all circles that Mr. Blount is one of its very best acquirements. Such men are more needed by our business enterprises today than ever before in the history of the race. It is sincerely believed that the acquirement of his services will impart new life and energy into the business of the enterprise that has heretofore been a well conducted and prosperous institution. CAPABLE BUSINESS WOMAN. What Miss Anna M. Vann Is Doing In the Newspaper Field. One of the most capable newspaper women connected with any of our many thrifty race journals is Miss Anna M. Vann, the travelling subscription agent for the Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide. During the past year, since the meeting of the National Negro Press association held in Philadelphia, Miss Vann has made a thorough canvass of several states, securing a large number of subscriptions in each and interesting our people along other lines of profitable endeavor. Miss Vann is not only an expert subscription agent, but also knows how to write a news article. The Journal and Guide carried in its issue of Aug. 1 a two column article by Miss Vann describing the progress of the race in Winston-Salem, N. C. She has actually traveled 25,000 miles during the past three years and has secured over 14,000 subscribers for the Journal and Guide. We congratulate this energetic young woman on the good work which she is doing and also Editor P. B. Young for his good fortune in securing Miss Vann's services as field subscription agent. The Downington Industrial School. The coming school year at the Downington Agricultural and Industrial school at Downington, Pa., from present indications will be the largest in attendance of students in its history.

These alx states have ‘2 Negro population of 2,000,000. ‘These Negroes have under thelr control as ‘owners and renters about $30,000,000 worth of farm property. They own ‘about 60,000 farms containing about 6,000,000 acres of land. ‘The total value of the farm property, land, live stock, farming implements, ete., owned by the Negroes of these states 1s about ‘$20,000,000. ‘There 1s room, however, for improvement along all lines. For every Negro that owns an acre of land there are thirty-three who are land less. These thirty-three ought to get some of the millions of acres of uni. proved land which are for sale. Let us get off the defensive. Let us stop the world from talking about the land we do not own, but about the land we do own. Get off the defensive by put. ting the world to talking about the thirty-three that do own land and not about the ones that do not own land. “Let your success thoroughly eclipse your shortcomings. We must give the world so much to think and talk about that relates to our constructive work In the direction of progress that peo ple will forget and overlook our fall: ures and shortcomings. Instead of giving people opportunity to explatz why we failed to build a house let us build so many houses that the world will forget about the house that we falled to bulld.

It is not well that our minds should be so continually centered upon our miseries or upon those who mistreat us. In the future let us emphasize our opportunt- tles more and our difficulties less. Let us talk more about our white friends, and about our white enemies less. We do our children a lasting injustice when we feed them constantly upon the miserles of the race. “Let us talk about the man who has got a job and less about.the man with- out a Job. Let our fraternal and secret socteties talk less about sickness and death and more about health and life. Let our societies spend less money in taking care of the sick and much more money in promoting the health of the race, and they will have to spend less on account of sickness and death. In- stead of giving the world a chance to discuss the high death rate of the Ne gro, let us put the world to wondering why the Negro keeps so healthy and strong. Let us make health contagious E every community rather than dis- ease. “When 2,000,000 Negroes of the southwest have made the most of thelr opportunities and have let down their buckets deep into the earth and brought up the riches contained there- In tn the form of cotton, corn, oats. wheat, potatoes, chickens, turkeys, hogs, horses, mules and cattle they will be able to support in Kansas.

SUBSCRIBZ "FOR THE STAR." 1 PATCHING UP THE LAW IN ALABAMA Bar Association at Birmingham Tackles Hard Task. NEED OF LAW ENFORCEMENT Discrimination In the Administration of the State Law on Account of Condition and Color Gives Rise to Unusual Action on the Part of Southern Jurists. While the Bar association at Birmingham, Ala., is working hard on ways and means to revise the court procedure whereby standards for practicing attorneys will be raised and technicalities and financial, political and social influence as an obstruction to law enforcement reduced to a minimum, two cases are causing widespread comment and an increased sentiment for judicial reform, says the New York Evening Post in a recent issue. One is the case of an obscure Negro, who was sentenced to fifty years in the penitentiary for robbing a fellow workman of 50 cents and was paroled by the governor because of ill health after serving twenty years. In striking contrast is the case of a highly educated and widely connected aristocrat who, in the capacity of a trusted official, robbed the state of $100,000, was sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary, took an appeal and, after six months, has not yet been committed to state prison. This contrast in its effect upon the public thought and demand for more equitable law enforcement is strengthened by the case of another Negro, who, upon purely circumstantial evidence, has been sentenced by a county jury five times to the gallows during a legal fight covering a period of four years, had his verdicts reversed and remanded three times by the supreme court and is awaiting execution under a fourth ruling of the higher tribunal. Twenty years ago Frank Williams, an illiterate and poverty stricken Negro working on the road, robbed a fellow workman of 50 cents. A Hale county jury sentenced Williams to fifty years in the penitentiary. He made an excellent prisoner, having been a trusty for eleventeen years. His health gave way, and one of the judges of the supreme court recommended that he be paroled. This was recently ordered by the governor after twenty years of the half a century sentence was served. Williams is now sixty-five years old and very feeble. Theodore Lacy, formerly chief clerk of the state convict bureau, who handled $2,000,000 a year of the state's revenue derived from the system of leasing convicts to coal mines and turpentine camps, was sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary for stealing $100,000 of the state's funds. Lacy is a grandson of the late United States Senator Edmund W. Pettus of Alabama, of Confederate fame as a general and a political idol in Alabama. For a while Lacy lived high. Everybody like him. His convival temperament caused him to run short in his accounts. Then he collected $100,000 in cash from the Montgomery banks on checks signed by the president of the convict board, packed the money in suitcases and fled. For six months the state tried in vain to apprehend him and spent $10,000 in the work. Suddenly one night Lacy rolled into Montgomery in a high power motorcar, surrendered to the sheriff and announced that he had returned to "face the music." When arraigned he pleaded that he had been promised a light sentence, possibly a pardon, if he would return and make a deal for restoration of the money. No part of it has ever been recovered. Lacy was visited in jail by a stream of prominent people and loaded down with floral tributes and table delicacies. After a sensational trial he was sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary, but an appeal to the supreme court has been pending for months, and so far he has not served a day. The case of Ervin Pope, a Negro who was convicted of murdering a white man on the testimony of a blacksmith who declared the peculiar marks in the mud from the shoe of a mule coincided exactly with unusual dents he made in shoe Pope's animal, is widely cited in contrast with Lacy's trial. Pope has been sentenced to death five times by the county court. Three times the supreme court reversed the verdicts, and once its own ruling, finally confirming the death sentence. Appeal proceedings are again pending, and the case is going over into its fifth year. Contrasts between these cases representing obscurity and poverty as well as race on the one side and affluence and aristocratic family connections on the other have largely increased the force of public sentiment in its demands for revision of the court procedure of the state and more equitable and uniform systems of law enforcement. Some of the legal profession and politically active elements undertake to explain the marked difference between the case of William and that of Lacy on the ground that the former was given the fifty year sentence not because of the larceny of a paltry sum, but because the money was obtained through highway robbery, which is a hanging offense in Alabama. TWIN CITY STAR GETTING IN LINE IN NEW ROCHELLE Activity of Afro-Americans In a New York Town. AMBITION OF THE LEADERS. Wisdom of Movement Recently Started Seen In Possibilities For the Material Advancement of the Race. Population Large Enough to Support Many More Business Establishments. New Rochelle, N. Y.—The colored citizens of this town, 1,800 in number, are solving their problems in a way that speaks well for their intelligence, industry and public spirit. They are almost as clannish as the Jews in their business relations with each other, and by and by they will have learned the lesson so completely of how to conserve each other's interest that every business and professional man of color in this enterprising town will be receiving his fair share of patronage from members of the race. There is now a movement on foot among its representative business and professional men to bring about closer union between the servers and the served so that the boys and girls who are being graduated from the high school and colleges will find a market for their intellectual wares. There are colored people enough in this pretty little city to support one or two first class groceries, a drug store, a general notion store, a butcher store, a bakery and ice cream parlor, a shoe store, a dentist and a good physician. As it is now some of the thoughtless among them are scattering their trade among foreign shopkeepers, who are making good profits out of their Negro customers, who, in turn, receive nothing except the winsome smiles of these shopkeepers and the stereotyped "Thank you; call again." It is gratifying to learn that the colored people are getting their eyes opened and are beginning to realize the importance of closer union, a better understanding of each other and more of that neighborly feeling which is so helpful and beneficial to a people who are struggling to raise themselves in the scale of being. The clergy and the business and professional men of New Rochelle are working together harmoniously to bring about this end. Revs. Boddie and Slater, representing the great Baptist church and two of the largest churches of that faith in New Rochelle, are taking the lead in this movement among the people of their several churches. Rev. J. B. Boddle is perhaps one of the most influential clergymen in New Rochelle, and much is expected of him. The Methodist church, the A. M. E. Zion connection, is pastored by the Rev. Mr. Allen, a man of broad catholic views and of fine culture. He is a recent arrival in New Rochelle, but his newness on the field will be no bar to his activity in this reformatory and remedial work for Negro industrial, commercial, religious and professional advancement. Every man of brains in the race must realize by this time that the battle of the races is an intellectual one. Every intelligent man and woman among us certainly understands that the best use to which they can put their intelligence is in the direction toward which the progressive Negroes of New Rochelle are now bending their energies. Among these is Mr. Samuel J. Davis, the proprietor of the Davis Cash grocery, a well stocked, up to date grocery, employing two assistants ordinarily and on Saturdays from three to four. Mr. Davis, taking Dr. Booker T. Washington's advice, "cast his bucket down here" and has not regretted it. He owns a three family apartment house in Horton avenue and other real estate and the largest and best stocked grocery store of any member of the race in New Rochelle, the others being owned by Smith & Braxton. The leading physician here, Dr. C. P. McClendon, is a graduate of Lincoln university and the University of Michigan. He has a splendid practice. He lives in his own house, where he has established a sanitarium for the treatment of patients who do not care to go to a hospital. It is a fine idea and when it becomes more generally known ought to prove a lasting benefit. There are a number of fine houses in New Rochelle owned by colored men. One of the prettiest of these is that of Mr. Emmanuel Eccles, a thrifty citizen and a practical farmer, who under stands the art of tickling the earth and making it bring forth the increase His house is located on Winthrop avenue and extends to Horton avenue. The land is all, except that upon which his house stands, under cultivation—a fine garden in the rear and flowers of many varieties in his spacious front yard to attract the eyes of passersby. Knights of Pythia Observe Field Day. The officers' league of the First regiment, uniform rank, Knights of Pythias of Pennsylvania observed field day at Olympic park, Pittsburgh, on Monday, Aug. 24. The attendance was large, and the various amusements planned for the entertainment of guests and visitors proved very attractive. The First Regiment band discoursed lively music throughout the day. The order in Pennsylvania is in fine condition financially and numerically and officered by capable and experienced men. PROTECTION FOR MASSES IN WAR People at Home Saved From Its Atrocities. AMERICAN CODIFIED RULES. Document Which Lincoln Promulgated Resulted In International Action. Undefended Towns Safe From Bombardment and Pillage—Belligerency Explained—Citizens' Rights Defined. A war between the great powers of Europe, says the New York Times editorially, would not visit its atrocities upon the 396,000,000 souls that compose the vast British empire, upon the 100,000,000 of Russia, the 92,000,000 of France and her colonies, the 65,000,000 of Germany, the 50,000,000 of Austria-Hungary and Italy's 32,000,000. The mass of these 800,000,000 people and their property are protected by the rules of modern warfare. The principle of these rules had its most notable enunciation from the lips of Talleyrand, who in 1806 begged to remind Napoleon that the business of war should be confined to professional fighting men, to soldiers; that it concerned states, not their subjects or citizens. The honor of codifying the rules that protect the noncombatant majorities of civilized nations belongs to the United States. Francis Lieber in 1862 drew up the code for President Lincoln, which he immediately promulgated as "General Orders No. 100" for the conduct of the Federal forces in the civil war. From this sprang the international convention of the Brussels conference in 1874, and the two Hague conferences reaffirmed the convention, adding restrictions to the field of combat. The chief safeguards lie in respect for family honor and rights, the lives of persons and private property, which cannot be confiscated, and for religious convictions and practice. When Inhabitants Are Belligerents. When the inhabitants of a territory spontaneously take up arms to resist invading troops and "carry arms openly" are they to be regarded as belligerents. The attack or bombardment of towns, villages, dwellings or buildings which are not defended is forbidden, and pillage of captured towns is prohibited. An army of occupation can seize only the cash, funds and realizable securities that belong strictly to the state, and only the means of transport, stores and supplies and all movable property possessed by the state that may be used for military operations. Appliances for transmission of news or for the transport of persons or things may be seized, even if they belong to private individuals, but must be restored and compensation fixed when peace is made. The citizens of a hostile nation cannot be compelled to fight against their country, and their rights cannot be declared abolished, suspended or inadmissible in a court of law. The poisoning of wells, discharge of projectiles from balloons, the seizing of submarine cables and destruction of monuments and works of art are specially interdicted. Prisoners of War Safeguarded. But war between actual belligerents is also much circumscribed. They cannot declare that no quarter will be given. Elaborate safeguards are made for the rights and humane treatment of prisoners of war. The Geneva convention permits the comprehensive activities of the Red Cross in the care of the sick and wounded on both land and sea. Unusually cruel weapons are proscribed. Towns must be amply warned before siege or bombardment, and occupied territory may be compelled to supply only the actual needs of the invading army. All these rules were ruthlessly violated in the conduct of the Balkan wars, as the recent report of the international commission to inquire into their causes shows. The Balkan states are not fully civilized. War provokes savagery, but, says the editorial in conclusion, a war involving the great powers would be fought with due restraint. Call Reservists From United States. Germany and France have recalled from the United States all their miltary reserves. Through their consuls in various cities they are summoning their sons of arm bearing age to the colors. Great Britain's order that all naval reserves in the United States should report immediately for duty with the colors affected several thou sand members of the royal naval reserves connected with the British mer cantile marine. in addition to perhaps 1,000 others who are engaged in busi ness in this country. Will Be Short War, Says Experts. Opinion among American military experts and army officers interviewed by the New York Herald is that the conflict in Europe will be one of the shortest wars on record. It is remarked by these war students that the triple entente on land and sea outnumber the forces of the triple alliance and the scientifically built military structure of the German empire will be taxed to the limit. United States army officers predict that hostilities will last only a few weeks. ```markdown ``` NOW is the best time for you to start your home, to pick out GOOD MERCHANDISE AT ABSOLUTELY FAIR PRICES WE OFFER SPECIAL INDUCEMENTS TO NOW is the best time for you to start GOOD MERCHANDISE AT ABSON WE OFFER SPECIAL INDUCEMEN YOUNG FOLKS GOING HOU TAKE SPECIAL PAID at time for you to start your home, to pick out SANDISE AT ABSOLUTELY FAIR PRICES SPECIAL INDUCEMENTS TO POLKS GOING HOUSEKEEPING and AKE SPECIAL PAINS TO PLEASE THEM YOUNG FOLKS GOING HOUSEKEEPING and TAKE SPECIAL PAINS TO PLEASE THEM FORTY YEARS of making COZY HOMES for the people of Minneapolis and the Northwest is the REASON why we ask you to let us START you out RIGHT.

It is a fact that Negroes in the South are advancing, but they are accumulating prosperity at a sacrifice of their human rights— We are glad to get back to Minnesota where we do not suffer the many dis criminations as in the Southland. But we’ are hopeful that the day of racial adjustment is near, or else there will be a revolution among the Negroes of the South, who have manhood, race-pride and wealth, Then the in- famous Jim-Crow wilf “be abolished They do not protest, against Separate Coach taws, because it divides them from white people, because the lowest class of the South is the ignorant and vicious white-man, but it denies them the accomodations given others, who pay the same fare.

Davis, Chief Justice. may always get their rights and, re ‘ceive the proper protection thes three branches are kept separate an¢ distinct, one not encroaching upon the rights of the other. Who would be lieve for a moment that the member: of the S.C. M., whose duty it is tc jenforce the law, should be charged Jwith the responsibility of interpreting the law. These men have to come_uy every two years for election, and they are human beings, and their decision: will often be influenced and shaped according to their political fortunes Bro, Morris’ argument in favor of the court was that it was impossible te get a pure judicial decision approach: ing fairness and equity to all men, so long as the decisions were rendered by men who had to look after thei political fortunes. It is the opinior lof the civilized world ‘that the judici ary, where rights and lives of men are to be tried should be as far removed from politics as possibfe. If this were not true, in our government the presi- dent and his cabinet would pass upon all cases instead of the Supreme Court and save the expense of providing a great judiciary at a cost of millions a year. If it was healthful or helpful for the cabinet to legislate and it was consistent with civilization and pro- tection of the rights of property and life, there would he no need of Con- gress, and another great item of ex- pense would be cut off. Centaliza- tion of power in the hands of one man or a few has always been dangerous and inimical to the rights of the peo- ple; then why should we centralize all of our judicial and legislative, pow- ers in the hands of a sub committee of management, nine men, who as 3 rule are far below the average in in- telligence. Thus we show you the necessity of a court, that is has a place in our scheme of government, that it is an essential and in keeping with all civilized government. 2. If the court is not useful, if it has not lived up to the expectations of its eritics, the critics should be fair and inquire the reason why. If the volume of work has not been ample for the pay received, let us see why the court has not performed more work. The law provides that no cases can come to the court unless it is handed.it by the Grand Master or the S.C. M. The court has tried every cause handed it by the Grand Master or the S, C. M. The law provides that within thirty days after a cause is received the Grand Secretary shall forward the same to the Chief Justice. So you see the papers are not filed with the clerk-of the court or with the chief justice, but with the S. C. M., and if the Grand Master or, Grand Secretary or S.C. M,, elects, for ul- terior reasons, not to transmit any causes for trial in the court, the court can not perform its duties; and where the Grand Master is opposed to the court for personal or other reasons and fs willing to violate the faw and bring the court into disrepute, you see how easy it is to keep the busi- ness from the court in order to dis- credit it. In spite of the treatment the court has received from the S. C. M., it has written between seventy-five or one hundred decisions, and have tried pos- sibly as many more cases without de- cisions. This has been done in four years. Now the S. C. M. has been sit- ting for fifty years, and it has not tried during the fifty years and ad- judicated more than two hundred cases. Consult the book of decisions. More than a hundred cases, could have been tried by the-court, had the com- mittee been inclined to carry out ‘the law and not. infringe upon the rights of the court. The duties of the S. C. M. are executive. Their duties are most largely those ofa board of di- rectors, but instead of confining them- sedves to its duties, it has tried many judicitl questions, which should have peen tried by the court, It is in the experience of the chief justice that wherever members of the. sub committee had personal interest n cases, they refused to let these eases go to court, for fear the court would not try them in a way pleas- ing to the interested member, and thus the court has been deprived of he work justly entitled to, for rea- ons' ulterior. How can thé court fill ts highest function and’ reach its lighest usefulness, if the S. C. M. vithholds its work from it? How can he court satisfactorily discharge its luties if the S. C. M, are going to jold the causes that it is to try until he very day that the court sits, in- bead Ot trandinittine them to’ the TWIN CITY STAR 4 an ink Roatde cf>dirtetore 2 day.) Boards of ‘directors of miflio: \dollar corporations meet and adjudi cate more business in one hour thai the S. C, M,, adjudicated in four’years As an illustration how the cour has been treated we recite that th 1sth B. M. C, passed a propositio: directing the incoming S.-C. M,'to.ap point a committee of three on: th revision of the general laws. Th Grand Master appointed the court th committee on. revision to serve. with ‘out pay. The law provided that th three revisors should sit thirty day: ‘and feceiye $10 per day, a total o $000. The court accepted the duty. 0 revisors without compensation, but be for the court could meet and’ mak out this report the Grand Maste himself got together ‘the new law: passed at the 14th and rsth B, M. C and combined them with the old gen eral law and had them published! without the approval of the full S C. M,, for which he charged $300. An: when the Committee on Revision at- tempted to make its report at the 161) B. M. C,, as provided in the isth B M. C. the Grand Master flatly ,re- fused the chairman an audience, an‘ we had no opportunity to submit ou: report; the Grand Master having tak- en the work of the committee an‘ collected pay for it, he was not in 3 humor to hear us. ‘The fight on the court is not in good faith, and it is not because the Grand Master is opposed to the court He wants the court, but he hates on: of the justices more than he loves tli court, and he is willing to destroy this institution to get rid of an enemy and that enemy is not the chief. jus jtice. The fight against the court i: purely personal, and if this objection able member of the court were to dic or resign, you would see the Grand Master and his henchmen hedging: t save the court. They need the place: for their friends, They need” the | places for their faithful, but in orde: to punish a once friend and tool, the gods have decided to destroy the in- stitution. Give the court a chance Give it the opportunity to serve you and it will serve you as satisfactorily and as efficient as the Supreme Cour of the United States serves our cor- ‘mon country. If President Wilson his cabinet and other litigants- who lost a case at bar were directing « war on the court because they wante'! to get rid of a certain jusfice,, the court would grow into disrepute and Ee would not be able to see its serv- ‘ice or its usefulness. Let us return to reason. Let us lay aside malice and hatred and give the court a square deal, give it the business it is entitled to, and it will prove its worth. 4. The court is not a costly propo- sition. Tt does not take one-tenth the cost of the S. C. M., The S. C. M: could transact all its business at any session in one day, if the men would work. The sub committee’ is really a useless body. -It adds nothing to the order each year. It manages in some way that which voluntarily comes to the order. It does ’not cé- courage a single jurisdiction. It makes no suggestions or advances 0 single constructive idea from Christ- mas to. Christmas. In other words, it handicaps the jurisdictions in their f- forts to serve their members and to bring about the greatest results. If the sub committee in one instance has rendered any jurisdiction any help, we would like to know it, In every con troversy that arises in a jurisdiction you will find the sub committee sid- ing with one faction or the other. It is not an impartial court where every member feels that justice will come to him, but members of the order feel that the S.C. M.-is a partisan body deciding in favor of those who are bound to vote for them on elec tion day, 4nd punishing the man who has strength enough and has manhood. enough to stand up for the principles, of free government. The court is nat in politics. Tt does not have to he voted for by the populace and is in a position to give fair and impartial des cisions on questions that come up to be heard. Another handicap the court has had is this. The Grand Master has not discouraged those who were foolish enough to write the executive branch to review the decisions of the court Tt is the duty of the executive branch to tell litigants at bar that the de» cisions of the court are ‘inal and the executive branch will enforce thenis| butinstead of that the Grand Master has brought letters: from. dissatisfied, appeal to the brotherhood to give the court afair trial and to ask them- selves this question, Why did a wise man like Morris cfeate a court for himself, and in less than four years desire to-destroy it? What are his motives? From Atlanta Independent. AFFAIRS AT WILBERFORCE. ‘Trustees’ Resolution Would Hall School's Progress if Made Effective. The writer of “Echoes From Mj Den,” in a recent issue of the South ern Christian Recorder, makes some very broad statements in criticism of the board of trustees of the Wilber force, O., university, the work of th bishops and presiding elders of th A. M. E. church and other men. and matters pertaining to the managemen| and work of this noted school. Ii what the writer of “Echoes From Mj Den” says is true, then the great A. M. EB. church should call a halt on those who presume to dictate the policy of Wilberforce university, es pecially that part which has to de with the duties of the president in personally using his influence in rais ing funds for the institution's needs and the management of the program for the commencement season at Wl berforee, In speaking of President William 8. ‘Scarborough, under whose able admin. istration the school ‘has greatly in- creased {ts usefulness, enlarged its plant, put up splendid new bulldings, and gained wide popularity’ among the leading educational institutions of the country, the writer of “Echoes From My Den,” in part, says: “But I must tell you what they aid for Mr. Scarborough. Why, they actu- ally lost sight of that magnificent building in thelr effort to make him tell where he got all the money from and from whom he got it and forbade him getting any more if he didn't tell who gave it to him. And then they went a step farther. They passed a resolution forbidding the president from contracting any debt, however small, in the name of-the institution. In other words, they ‘resoluted’ all the president's responsibility and. pres- tige away and attempted to publish the same to the world.” If the above is true and if it were put into practice at Wilberforce or any other school of the A. M. BH. denomt- nation {t would paralyze the whole educational system of the church. Pro- fessor Scarborough never was a figure- head for any institution or set of men, and those who know him well may be sure that he is able to take care of himself and the interest of Wilber- force university notwithstanding the sweeping statementa made by the au- thor of “Echoes From My Den.” The A. M. B, church is not likely to allow its institutions of whatever kind to retrograde through interference from any source. : What the race needs in all depart- ments of its activities in church, school and other agencies for uplift is competent, educated men and women who are. willing to put the cause they represent forward instead of them- selves, Until such a course ts taken we cannot expect the best results from our efforts to achleve success along any line. Wilberforce university is Progressive. It has a progressive president and an able facuity. Its stu: dents and graduates are to be found in all sections of the country amiong those of the race who are aiming high and among the leaders of thought and action. BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION WORK SHOWS BIG. INCREASE. No Cause For Undue Alarm, Says the Board’s Report. ‘There are times when some of our leaders think because we have not a large number of American misslone- ries in foreign flelds the work is not growing, says a recent report of the ‘Baptist foreign mission board. It should be remembered that. the efforts ‘of all foreign. mission boards Is to get & prepared native ministry. One pre- pared native African can do the work of an American missionary and act as an interpreter and, 1f properly prepar. ed, can do the work of three. § _ Our foreign mission board has quite ‘twenty young people in the various ‘schools of our country preparing to re- turn to Africa, South America and the eles of the sea. Among the very best workers now in the employ of our con- vention are the Rev. John Chilembwe, British Central America, a former stu- dent of Virginia seminary and college, and Rev. John Ntlahla in Pondoland, South Africa, a former student of State university, Kentucky. » The above brethren have had the most marvelous success of ary men connected with. our work. Rev. John N. Menzie, college graduate from Wil- berforce and State university, 1s one of the “very best teachers in our schools, with Rev. J, B, Bast: These are all trained natives. ‘The board reports this-as oue of the best years of the past elghteen of its work. More than 1,500 persons have been baptized into the fellowship of the Baptist churebes and. missions in foreign lands, it says. No Time to Lose. The Milliner—Run fast, boy!
