STEADY ADVANCE AMONG FARMERS Millions of Improved Acres Are Being Cultivated. INCREASE IN OWNERSHIP. Census Figures Place Amount of Land and Buildings Under Control of the Colored People at $900,132,334—Tenant Farmers, However, Are Still in the Majority. By W. ANTHONY AERY. There is now a vast number of colored farmers in the south, working millions and millions of acres rich in possibilities, and yet only a small fraction of this land is rated as improved land. According to the census of 1910, there were in the south 890,141 colored farmers (28.7 per cent of the total number of farmers) working 42,600,117 acres (12 per cent of the total farm acreage), of which 27,735,743 acres (or 18.4 per cent) were reported as improved land. As long as the colored tenant farmers, however, outnumber the colored farm owners three to one and as long as the tenant farmers have under their control a proportional amount of land and buildings which they may use wisely and well or utterly abuse through sheer ignorance the tenant problem and, indeed, the whole land problem for the white south will be a pressing and serious one. The 670,474 colored tenant farmers in 1910 tilled 26,567,802 acres, of which 20,066,875 were reported as improved land. These tenants were using land and buildings valued at $616,768,147 (8.4 per cent) as against $283,177,330 (8.2 per cent) in 1900. These colored tenants were distributed as follows: South Atlantic states, 253,181; east south central, 266,232; west south central, 151,061. If the Negro tenant is not taught how to treat the land properly and increase his earning power the whole south will suffer a tremendous economic loss. When more than 75 per cent of the Negro farmers are tenants there is important work still to be done along agricultural lines through the public schools, the private institutions, the state departments of agriculture and the press to help the tenants raise themselves into the class of owners. This improvement for many, many white farmers has already come about. If the south is to make the progress it should there are still too many white tenants as compared with white farm owners. One of the most hopeful signs of progress, however, is the percentile increase in Negro farmers. the amount of improved land held by them and the value of land and buildings they control. In the south, according to the census of 1910, 24.5 per cent of the colored farmers were owners. 0.1 per cent managers and 75.3 per cent tenants. For 1000 the figures were 25.2, 0.2 and 74.6 respectively. In 1910 the white farmers of the south were distributed as follows: Owners, 60.1 per cent; managers, 0.7; tenants, 39.2. For 1800 the figures were 63 per cent, 0.9 and 36.1 respectively. The total number of Negro farm operators in the south in 1910 was 880, 887, and in 1900 it was 732,362. From 1800 to 1910 the percentages of increase in the south were: Total white farmers, 17.4; colored farmers, 20.2; white farm owners, 12; colored, 17; white tenants, 27.6; colored, 21.4; improved land in farms, white, 19.5; colored, 19.5; improved land in farms owned by white farmers, 18.8; colored, 25; improved land in farms of white tenants, 34.6; colored, 17.8. In Virginia, according to the census of 1910, there were 134,155 native white farmers who had 17,257,416 acres of land in farms and 48,114 Negroes and other nonwhite farmers who had 2,238,220 acres of land in farms. There were 101,436 (74.6 per cent) farms operated by white owners and 32,228 (67 per cent) farms operated by colored owners. The value of land and buildings of all the white farmers was $486,838,558 and that of all the colored farmers $45,224,504. The white farm owners had land and buildings valued at $74,781,761 and the colored farm owners $28,069,534. The value of domestic animals was: White. $68,941,310; colored. $2,515,538. CAPABLE BUSINESS WOMAN. Active and Useful Career of Mrs. Eugenia Nelson of Washington. Washington -Aside from their activity in educational, religious and social uplift work, many women of our race are engaged in some line of profitable business. This is one of the substantial evidences of the encouraging progress of the race which is receiving much attention from the public press. Whenever a woman goes into business she is almost sure to open the way for one of her sex to get employment in the same line of business, of whatever kind it may be. They are contributing in no small way to the home and community life of the race throughout the United States. Their influence in all well organized movements for racial advance is being felt for good. Among the many well educated, industrious and capable women in this city who are making their mark in business and in the religious and social life of our people is Mrs. Eugenia MRS. EUGENIA NELSON Nelson, who is engaged in the hair-dressing business. Mrs. Nelson is a native of the Lone Star State, having been born and reared in Terrell, Tex. She belongs to the Goodson family, which is one of the best known families of the community. As a girl she received her primary education in the public schools of her native town. After finishing the public school course she entered the high school at Paris, Tex., and later studied at the Hearne academy. Mrs. Nelson is not only a proficient worker in her present business, but is also a good milliner. SMOKE THE RELIABLE SIGHT DRAFT CIGAR STORY OF PHILLIS WHEATLEY POEMS Well Known New York Book Dealer Publishes Three New Volumes Dealing With Writings of First Poet of the Colored Race In America—Schomburg Wrote Introduction. Charles Fred Heartmann, an antiquarian and bookseller of New York city, has brought out three volumes de luxe dealing with Philis Wheatley, which collectors and book lovers will appreciate because of their rarity. Mr. Heartmann is a German scholar and a former journalist who has traveled much in Europe and, like a good journalist, has made excellent use of his eyes and ears. He has long had the idea in mind of doing justice to the little African poetess who in her day was lionized by the best class of Americans and the nobility of England, where she made an indelible impression by her talents and genius as a writer of poetry, says John E. Bruce "Grit." There have been several editions of Miss Wheatley's poems published in the United States and in England, but there has been no such attempt made as this of the altruistic German gentleman to give this Negro girl her true place in American literature—that of the first American poetess, for no white woman in this country, so far as we have been able to discover, had achieved any distinction as a writer of either prose or poetry at that period, so that Phillis Wheatley was easily first among American literary women of that day. Mr. Arthur A. Schomburg, secretary of the Negro Society For Historical Research, who collaborated with Mr. Heartmann in the compilation of these books, in his introduction to the poems and letters of Phillis Wheatley cites Dr. Samuel Stanhope Smith (1810) in his essay on the variety of complexion and figure in the human species, who said, answering Jefferson's criticisms, that religion had produced a "Phillis Wheatley, but it could not produce a poet" and added that her poems were "below the dignity of criticism." To this Dr. Smith made answer as follows: "The poems of Phillis Wheatley, a poor African slave taught to read by the indulgent piety of her master, are spoken of with infinite contempt. But I will demand of Mr. Jefferson or any other man who is acquainted with American planters how many of those could have written poems equal to those of Phillis Wheatley" (page 269). Mr. Schomburg further along in his introduction states that many of the poems of this girl were quoted by Thomas Clarkson, the great English abolitionist, in his celebrated Latin essay, which won the first prize at Cambridge, 1785, on "The Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species." He quotes also Lydia Maria Child, who said of her poems: "Jefferson denies that these poems have any merit, but I think he would have judged differently had he been perfectly unprejudiced." It would be indeed absurd to put Phillis Wheatley in competition with Mrs. Hemana, Mary Hewitt, Mrs. Sigourney, Miss Gould and other modern writers, but her productions certainly appear very respectable in comparison with most of the poetry of that day, and a later critic, J. B. Earnest, Jr. M. A., who says: "An excellent little volume of poems by a Negro girl who was a slave in Massachusetts. The work cannot approach the excellence of the poetry written by Paul L. Dunbar, yet it is wonderful poetry for a Negro slave of the eighteenth century." Mr. Jefferson, it appears, did not accept Dr. Smith's challenge. The reasons are obvious. The lord mayor of London, Mr. Brooke Watson, was so well pleased with Phillis' poems on her visit to England, where she was the guest of the Countess of Huntingdon, to whom she dedicated her book of poems, which was published in 1773, that he presented to her as a mark of his appreciation of her talents a Foulis edition in folio of Milton's "Paradise Lost," which is now the property of the Harvard library. Mr. Schomburg has done well in his introduction and has given us many important facts about Phillis which have not hitherto been put in such compact form. Mr. Heartmann has done even better in making possible these three books about Phillis Wheatley. READ THE STAR-ITS NEWS HAMPTON TRADE SCHOOL RESULTS Great Work of Students In the Painting Section. OPEN FIELD FOR BUSINESS. Some Lessons In the Use of Paint as a Direct Contribution to Social Service in the Promotion of Health—Barriers to the Trade Are Being Successfully Removed. By W. ANTHONY AERY. Hampton, Va.—There are literally thousands upon thousands of dwellings and outbuildings throughout the land which are rotting for the lack of paint. Men and women have not yet fully realized that when paint is thoroughly skillfully and tastefully applied to their buildings they have made a real contribution to the economic and social welfare of their community. Not only in the south and west, but indeed throughout the country, people need to realize that the broom commonly used for whitewashing and the kit of paint brushes, which costs very little money, are hopeful instruments in obtaining real public health protection. The Negro and Indian youth have a wonderful opportunity to take up painting not only as a commercially profitable occupation, but also as a medium for genuine social service. Too many Negroes and Indians still have to learn that painting is a relatively healthful occupation and one which offers to steady, sober, skilled mechanics work during the whole year at a good wage. The dread of lead poisoning, so general a few years ago, is fading away. With the decrease in the use of powdered pigments and the increase in attention to clean habits of working and living there is no longer a valid objection to painting as a risky occupation. Men have also come to realize that the use of liquor has more to do with decreasing their efficiency and their earning power than the natural hazards of such a trade as painting. Painters, in short, like all other workers, regardless of any artificial class distinction, are becoming as a group more sober, more efficient and more reliable. Hampton institute offers a four year course in painting. It aims to turn out practical painters who have a background of useful knowledge and a vision of what a good mechanic can do as a community leader. Here is a partial list of the work done by the Hampton institute trade school painters during a typical year: Twenty-eight buildings painted on the outside, sixteen painted inside, thirteen roofs, twenty-two porch floors and eighty-six rooms painted; seventy floors waxed, varnished or painted; five gates and fences, nine boats and launches, twenty screens, four fire sets and 138 signs painted; sixteen carriages, carts and wagons and thirteen automobiles painted; forty-eight trays enameled, 400 pieces of furniture painted or varnished, twelve radiators bronzed and fifty-three rooms papered. Were one skeptical of securing good results from student tradesmen here is some first class evidence that Hampton is attacking with system the problem of taking Negroes and Indians, who are fresh from the country or the city, and training them for useful citizenship. How are these excellent results secured? The Hampton Trade school work in painting includes three main divisions—technical instruction, carriage, wagon and automobile painting, and house painting. The boys receive tasks of graduated difficulty and at every turn combine theory with practice. In the technical training they are taught the names and uses of the tools that they use. They learn to match colors. They study the quality of the materials which they use. They are shown clearly, for example, why linseed oil is better than cottonseed oil in painting. They receive practical shop talks on the making of paints, leads and other materials with which the general painter must deal in his daily work. During the Saturday morning shop talks the instructor tells the students some of the interesting facts about the people who produce the raw materials commonly used in the trade. The students take notes and reproduce them orally and in writing. When a student, for example, knows that the burning of a ship at sea, with its cargo of 100,000 cases of shellac from India, causes a decided change in the market price of shellac he is bound to have a greater interest in and sympathy for the people in a foreign land who gather the raw material for use in the United States. LEADERSHIP OF DR. D. H. BUTLER POPULAR WITH THE MASSES Presiding Elder of the Port Gibson (Miss.) District of the A. M. E. Church Has Made Good in Many Positions of Great Responsibility. Stands on His Merit. Jackson, Miss.—The Rev. D. H. Butler, D. D., one of the presiding elders of the Mississippi conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, is a native of Adams county, this state. Dr. Butler is a former president of Campbell college, in this city, which position he held for seven years. He was also president of Paul Quinn college, at Waco, Tex., for two years. He has served as the minister of some of the largest and most influential churches of the A. M. E. denomination in the south. Dr. Butler's rise from a country schoolboy to one of the leading ministers and business men of the race in this part of the south has been remarkable. After finishing the public school course he entered Jackson college, where he completed the course of study in 1889. Having been convinced REV. D. H. BUTLER, D. D. of his call to the gospel ministry, he matriculated at Gammon Theological seminary, Atlanta, Ga., from which he was graduated in 1805. During his course of study at Gammon Dr. Butler became a local minister and was admitted into the A. M. E. conference by the late Bishop Abraham Grant in 1894. He was afterward ordained a deacon, and in November, 1896, the late Bishop Henry M. Turner ordained Dr. Butler to the elderhood at Cedartown, Ga. But before engaging actively in the ministry, however, he engaged in educational work and served as principal of three schools at various times in his native state. As minister in charge of churches in Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia he became very popular with the masses, which gave him the opportunity of knowing the needs of our people along all lines. He showed his Christianity and race pride also by doing what he could to supply the needs and advise as to the best method of overcoming difficulties of the kind peculiar to the people of the rural districts. Bishop Evans Tyree made no mistake when he appointed Dr. Butler to the presidency of Campbell college, in this city. His administration was one of wise management and economy. The institution soon took on new life and gained many new friends under his regime. Dr. Butler has served as a trustee of Payne university, at Selma, Ala. Ward academy, Natchez, Miss.; Wilberforce university, Wilberforce, O. Campbell college, in this city, and Morris-Brown college, Atlanta, Ga. Along business lines he was for seven years president of the local business league in this city and was one of the founders and directors of the American Trust and Savings bank. The Jackson Real Estate company had its origin in the thrift and industry of this progressive minister, as did also the Jackson Coal and Wood company. At present he is serving as treasurer of the trustee board of Campbell college, presiding elder of the Port Gibson district in the Mississippi conference and is chairman of the supreme advisory board of the Independent Or- has contributed something to journalism, for he was founder and proprietor of the Christian Standard, Aniston, Ala.; the Educational Journal, Campbell college; the Mississippi Methodist and the Mississippi Vanguard. Dr. Butler's friends are urging him for the position of business manager of the A. M. E. Book Concern, in Philadelphia. He has the endorsement of the state of Mississippi, as well as Louisiana, for the said position, and should he be elected at the coming general conference to be held at Philadelphia in May he will make good in this as he has in the other positions of trust and responsibility which he has held. THE VOICE OF OUR NATION. Views of a Philadelphia Organization on Problem of Equal Rights. The Cosmopolitan Literary and Liberal league of Philadelphia in its declaration of principles as announced by its secretary, Dr. Caesar A. A. P. Taylor, makes the following statement in its discussion of legal rights for all American citizens without regard to race or color: This nation at its birth saluted a startled and listening world by announcing the sublime and glorious truth that "all men are created free and equal and endowed by their Maker with certain unalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Its voice then was as the trump of an archangel, summoning hoary forms of oppression and time honored tyranny to judgment. Crowned heads heard it and shrieked. Tolling millions heard it and clapped their hands for joy. It announced the advent of a nation based upon human brotherhood and the self evident truths of liberty and equality. Its mission was the redemption of the world from the bondage of ages, and yet, despite this announcement, it was a nation but half free. It started all right in theory, but it was hypocritical in practice. Moses, the greatest of all lawgivers and legislators, said while his face was yet radiant with the light of Sinai, "Whoso stealeth a man and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death." The destroying angel has already gone through this land to execute the fearful penalties of God's broken law. The representatives of the nation have bowed with reverence to the Divine edict and laid the ax at the foot of the tree and thus saved succeeding generations from the guilt of oppression and from the wrath of God. Statesmen, jurists and philosophers most renowned for learning and most profound in every department of science and literature have testified against slavery, while oratory has brought its costliest golden treasures and laid them on the altar of God and of freedom. It has almed its fiercest lightning and loudest thunder at the strongholds of tyranny, injustice and despotism. From the days of Balak to those of Isaiah and Jeremiah, up to the times of Paul and through every age of the Christian church, the sons of thunder have denounced the abom- The heroes who stood in the shining ranks of the hosts of the friends of freedom and progress, from Cicero to Chatham and Burke, Sharp, Wilberforce and Thomas Clarkson and Curran, assaulted the citadel of despotism. The orators and statesmen of our own land, whether they belong to the past or to the present age, will live and shine in the annals of history in proportion as they have dedicated their genius and talents to the defense of justice and man's God given rights. The solution of the whole problem involving both the white man and the black man is simple justice, a recognition of the fact that the rights of the humbleest citizen are as worthy of protection as those of the highest. Apply this method and the problem will be solved. And whatever may be in store for this nation in the future, whether prosperity or adversity, whether there be foes within or foes without, whether there shall be peace or war, based upon the eternal principles of truth, justice and humanity, with no class having cause for complaint or grievance, our republic will stand and flourish.

THE TWIN CITY STAR Mrs. Sensabaugh Presents, "Saul, King of Israel" and Makes Good. There were good attendances each evening this week to hear a Cantata, at St Peter A. M. E. Church on Monday and Tuesday nights, when "Saul, King of Israel" was presented by Mrs. Lottie Sensabaugh and a company of local singers. Special mention should be given Mesdames Hill, Sexton, Williams, Mason, Poore and Cisney, who sang the leading roles. Also to Messrs. Earl Weber, Wilbur Nevels, W. M. Smith and R. Skinner, who did very well. The choruses were good, especially the children's Messrs. Andy Quinn, J. R. Collins and Leon Abbey, musicians, played well. The costumes were very appropriate and expensive. Mr. W. C. Jeffrey proved an efficient stage director. Of course there is much room for improvements, but it was an entertaining affair and the result of such hard work—and every one deserves much credit for having it possible to show some of our best musical talent in this grand production. Mrs. Sensabaugh had much to contend with and assembled her company under difficulties. There may be better singers, but they are not always willing to participate. And it is generally known that amateurs do not draw big salaries. There was a large attendance each evening. Refreshments were served during intermissions. It was a social and financial success. Editor Twin City Star. The presentation of "Saul King of Israel," by a company of Minneapolis people under direction of Mrs. W. B. Sensabaugh during the past week, was marred by the thoughtless laughter of a member in the audience. Malicious laughter is dissoncerting to professionals; how much more so to amateurs. The thought arises how many of those who indulged in unseemly laughter could do any better. If they could, how many of them would. It should be remembered that those who had a part in this cantata, gave unselfishly of their time and energy, and spent each one, not a little of his money to produce an evenings' pleasure for the people of our city and to help in the hoped for upward trend—laudable objects surely and I am glad to note appreciated at its full value by many. May we soon reach the place where such unkindly sentiment shall not dare to make itself evident. HERE YOU MR. RENT PAYER IS THE CHANCE TO OWN YOUR OWN HOME.

A. JOHNSTONE. CAL. 3029. SEGREGATION IN ST. LOUIS (The New York News.) Northward the star of race hatred slowly wends its way. St. Louis now places a premium upon the progress of colored people by Jim Crowing them in their homes. Russia is relenting and releasing and repenting its segregation of the Jews. America is exulting and tightening in its chains of colorphobia. The city of St. Louis will now systematically neglect the sanitation and the progress of its black home districts. Their schools will be overlooked. Their policing will be sporadic and cowering. St. Louis thinks it is a wise economy she is "putting over" at the expense of her progressive home purchasing colored citizens. But contagious disease and death follow faulty sewerage and sanitation. Contagious disease and death draw no color line. An illiterate, untrained generation follows poor schooling, just as ignorance curses a nation. Vice and crime awake when policemen and justice sleep. Trouble will follow in the wake of Jim Crowed black St. Louis. In the days to come St. Louis even as Warsaw may repent her race haiting. Yet the colored men of St. Louis will be less than men if they tolerate this new Jim Crow order. We urge them to take the matter to the highest court of the land. You will find not only all your race, but legions of white friends coming to your rescue. Stand, ye firm-like men and Americans. Fight segregation by any and all means necessary to the bitter end.

W. Fits May Ent Chicago's Public Service, PROMINENT IN UPLIFT WORK Wife of Well Known Business Man Paseos Successful Civil Service Ex- amination and ts Eligible For Ap- pointment— High School Graduate and an Expert Printer by Trade. Chieago.—Perhaps in few other large cities of the Union are to be found bet- ter opportunities open to members of ‘our race in the various lines of indus. try than are found in this city. ‘That the colored people of Chicago are taking advantage of these opportunities for advancement has recently caused much comment in business circles. The fact that the race has been represented on the. police force of the city for a num- ber of years has been a means of much encouragement to thrifty young men and women to prepare themselves for positions in other departments of the municipal government. Some time ago, when the city decid- ed to allow women to enter the police service, there were many women applt cants who entered the civil service ex. amination. Among the successful num. ber was Mrs. Annie W. Fitts, wife of ‘Mr. its, wietor of the Crystal’ Pasting char Mre, Pitts name has been placed on the eligible st for appointment, and it is expected that she will soon receive an assign. ment to duty. : Mrs. Fitts has always been an ener. getic student and has made good use of ber opportunities. She is an honor graduate of the high schoo! and also took a course of study while in the west at the State Normal School For ‘Teacher Training at San Jose, Cal. She is very ambitious and regards thé work which she is soon to enter as a fine chance to do real social service, a chance to deal justly by any who may come under her supervision and a chance to add her quota of service to the making of good citizenship. She has been engaged in the printing business for a good many years. It was while in the employ of the Crystal Printing company that she became en- gaged to Mr. Bernard Fitts, proprietor ‘of the business, whom she afterward married in 1809. She 1s considered to be an expert printer, and by her able assistance and economy Mr. Fitts now owns the Crystal Printing company. which is free from any financial in- cumbrance. In all good movements for the ad- ‘vancement of the race Mrs. Fitts may be relied upon to do her share. She takes an active part in organized work among women and has been secretary for three years of the endowment de- partment of the Court of Calanthe of Tilinots. Her experience in dealing with wayward children in an officlal capac: ity will be of invaluable ald to her in many ways when she takes up her new Une of work. Mra, Fitts ts a member of the St ‘Thomas Episcopal church and renders active service. Being greatly interest- ed in matters of education, she has con- tributed much to the success of the Bethel Literary association and also to the Frederick Douglass center. What Mrs, Fitts has accomplished by diligent application to duty should be an in- spiration to our young women to make g00d use of their time, talent and op- portunities to better their condition. THE NEGRO IS AN AMERICAN. Writer For a New York Paper Advo: cates Justice For Our People. Under the caption “Aiding the Ne- gro” a correspondent of the New York Herald of Feb. 20 writes: “Yes. why can't we bave colored help. with their happy. cheerful faces? Why must we be always confronted with squirming foreigners, half of whom cannot speak a word of Eng- sh, and treat you with a condescen: sion which is an insult? “Why are all the hotels, at least most of them, closed to the colored people? Is it because the proprietors are for- eigners and employ their own country- men? In that case they show more Patriotism than we do. The Negroes are American; we brought them here. and we should give them employment ‘at something besides street cleaning.” ADVERTISE IN THE STAR fective Page ‘MES. ANNIE W. FITTS. HIGH HONOR FOR FERGUSON. Young West Virginian Elected Clase Orator at Ohio University. Daniel Leroy Ferguson, a graduate of the West Virginia Collegiate insti. tate, of which Professor Byrd Priller- man is the efficient and popular presi- dent, entered the agricultural college of the Ohio State university in the fall of 1912. Within a few weeks thereafter the director of physical education be- came convinced that Mr. Ferguson had the qualifications for an athlete. Fer- guson ranked sixth in the strength tests for the freshman class, which consisted of 1,200 students. In the spring of 1918 Mr. Ferguson came out for the freshman track team and won all the events in which he contested. During his second year at the university he made a place on the varsity track team. ‘This was the first time that a colored student had been on the team in this university. ‘This feat entitled him to membership in the western conference, thus giving him the honor of being the first long distance runner among colored men to be admitted to this conference. Ip As 4 Mi a case the plans of the coach are disar. Tanged he can always count on Fergu. json to run any distance from one-half mile to five miles. Critics say this young man is one of the most con- ‘sistent runners in the western confer. lence. Mr, Ferguson is a self supporting student. He has worked at one of the fraternity houses ever since he en- tered this school and has been able to realize a sufficient amount to defray fall expenses. He has been a great helper to his fellow students. Many have found work through his inttuence. In 1914 there was organized in this university the Ohio State Jubilee Sing- ers. This organization was effected ‘after the persistent efforts of Mr. Fer- ‘guson to get a representative band of colored singers for the university. At Dresent he is the efficient head of these singers, president of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity and a member of the Varsity Ohio association ‘The culmination of Mr. Ferguson's college career was reached on Oct. 8, 1915, when he was elected class orator over one of the most active and prom- fnent seniors on the campus. ‘This is the first time in the history of the Ohio State university that this dis- tinction has gone to a colored student. ‘The public awaits in great anxiety the unfolding of this young man’s ca- reer. He has the proper attitude to- ward his fellow man and the moral courage to stand for his earnest con- vietions. Mr. Ferguson's home is at Institute, W. Va.. and the West Vir- ginia Collegiate institute is prond of his achievements. NEW RACE ORGANIZATION. Nationa! Fraternal Congress to Ge Formed at Cincinnati. The generous response to the invita- tion of the committee of the National Negro Press association for the organ- ization of a national congress of Negro fraternities has assured the committee ‘that the time Is ripe for such an or- ganization. The need of it is so ob- vious to all thinking fraternal men and women that argument here would be an adverse reflection upon their intel- lgence. ‘The fraternal congress will meet at Cincinnati on Feb. 7 and & This meeting {8 called on these dates be- cause the National Negro Press asso- elation will meet at Nashville, Tenn.. the same week (Feb. 10-12), and this will give opportunity for delegates in- terested in both meetings to attend them conveniently. Each grand lodge organization in every state, of whatever society, is re- quested to send one delegate. Many of these organizations have already elected delegates. Dr. E. E. Under- wood, Frankfort, Ky.; Hon. R. B. Mc- Rary, Lexington, N. C., and Professor EB. H. McKissack, Holly Springs, Miss.. have been designated as a committee to draw up a tentative constitution and bylaws for consideration. All dele- gates and visitors who expect to attend the meeting should write Dr. BA. Witlams, P. 0. box 753, Cincinnati. for assignment to homes. A national congress of Negro fra- ternities will and ought to be the most potential organization of the race for self help and notice to the country that ‘the race has learned the lesson of the strength of union and ts now constant- ly in the watchtower scanning the horizon for opportunities to further the progress of the race. The call for the congress is signed by Joseph L. Jones and Dr. B A. Williams, Cincinnati. and W. E. King, Dallas, Tex. THE TWIN CITY STAR NOTABLE WORK OF | “Segre DR. ROBERT L.POPE|Sight I —_—_ W.

It was while attending school in Athens that he connected himself with the active work of the church and Sun- day school. He was a member of Pierce chapel, A. M. H. church. In February, 1895, he was lcensed to preach by Bishop J. 8. Flipper, who was then presiding elder of the Athens district. In the fall of 1896 he was ad- mitted to membership on trial in the Atlanta (Ga.) conference by Bishop A Grant. His progress in the church was rapid, for within two years he was admitted into full membership, or- dained deacon and the next year ad. vanced to the elderhood. During his active ministry Dr. Pope has filled the following charges: Kirk- wood mission, West End mission, Trinity station, Atlanta; St Paul, Troy, Ale.; St Luke, Hufaula, Als.; Bt.

He has been des- ignated as a debt payer as well as a revivalist. He has taken into the church during his ministry over 2,000. While in Montgomery he raised the membership from 700 to 1,014, ‘Dr. Pope has had the pleasure of be- ing a member of two general confer- ences—Norfolk, Va., and Kansas City, Mo.—and has been elected a delegate to the centennial general conference, which meets next May in Philadelphia.

"Recently there appeared in some dailies, that there were coming about 20,000 Negroes to work land in the states of Tepic, Chiapa and Tabasco. "The Mexican Herald, of the 28th of last month (January), informed its readers that a large number of Negroes were ready to leave Texas and Louisiana for Mexico to colonize 30,000 hectores (80,000 acres) of land donated conditionally by the government and were assured of 400,000 hectores (1,000,000 acres) more to be purchased. "The white Americans who come here to seek lands are mostly speculators that buy or take options for speculations, but not for the purpose of cultivating nor improving them. Those (whites) who emigrate from the United States to seek homes, do not come to Mexico but to Canada, where they find good lands cheap. These past few years, more than 400,000 Americans have emigrated from the United States to Canada carrying with them more than $200,000,000. The Europeans have no desire to come here to compete with the peon laborers of the plantations for the low wages the latter receive. Nor the Japanese either. The Chinese when they come do not compete with the peons in the cultivation of lands, but to compete with the Mexican retail merchant. "Now that neither the European, Japanese nor Chinese desire to work our lands under present conditions, who objects to the coming of those Negroes from the United States, tired as they should be of the daily lynching, etc. "Should 20,000 come now and succeed we can rest assured that in five years we shall have 100,000 of them, and in two decades 1,000,000. "The most serious problem and difficult of solution which threatens the United States in the near future, is that of the Negroes. When the Negro was freed 50 years ago there were 4,000,000. Now there are more than 10,000,000. Should they continue increasing in the same proportion at the end of this century there will be over 50,000,000. "If now that they, being 10,000,000 are a'bette noire' of our neighbor of the North, what will they be when they shall have attained 50,000,000. "The Americans ought to be satisfied to send us Negroes in exchange for Mexican workmen. Although many Mexican papers assert that the latter are not wanted there and are not treated with due consideration in the United States. "Then let the Negroes come, fellow El Imparcial, in order that they shall improve and invigorate our race." The Washington Housekeepers' alliance has taken up "waste not, want not" proposition with a view to an anti-waste campaign. This is timely as an adjunct of preparedness, but should not be made to hinge upon any war scare preparedness issue. It is good preparation for every fate which can come to a nation and a people. Preachments on waste usually start with the kitchen and a rehash of the chestnut that the average American family wastes enough food to keep the average European family well fed. Of course it does, but the lamentable waste isn't confined to food supplies. The busy housekeeper can well argue to the provider. Why skimp at the table just to have money to burn on useless luxuries? Many expensive habits are indulged without reference to their appropriateness for the family involved. Probably the waste on dress in these times is more needless and impoverishing than that in the kitchen. Garments and ornaments are made for show and often for only a day's service. Relatively cheap as to first cost they are actually tremendously dear. "War worry" is said to be epidemic among the women of England. Joaquin Miller wrote a very strong poem depicting wife and mother as heroes of the "bravest battle." For the man at the front there is curiosity, excitement and ambition to keep the mind engaged and off from self and horror. Not so for the woman waiting, who starts at every strange sound. To her the very word "war" spells inconceivable disaster, sorrow and want. In bringing on wars due to passion women have a fair proportion of responsibility, but when it comes to paying the price they bear an unfair proportion of the burden. The bureau of foreign and domestic commerce in Washington has stated recently that more than 2,000,000 persons are working at industries which are directly dependent upon the use of artificial coloring. The value of their product is between $3,000,000,000 and $4,000,000,000 annually. The head of that bureau is authority for the statement that the loss now being borne by American users of dyed stuffs and dyed wares reaches a total of $1,000,000 a day, and conditions are growing worse instead of better. Every output of definite information from the interior of Mexico leaves much to be desired. In fact, the situation there is shrouded in mystery, and if the people rule on this Mexican proposition as it affects the United States they are doing it blindly. This absence of definite news from a neighboring country leads to the conclusion that American journalism has lost its old time dash and enterprise. Formerly the great dalles vied with one another on self appointed missions of exploration and investigation. Authorities on baseball are saying that there will be no material cuts in salaries of stars of the major leagues during this season. In the first place, many players are under contracts which have a year to run at high prices. It is admitted that salaries will eventually drop to about old time figures and that admission prices may drop to conform to these new conditions. No cut in admission is expected, however, until salaries are brought to a lower level. Speaking of a national defense commission, it is well to remember that we have in congress one of the very best defense commissions that could be created. It possesses ample and unquestionable power to do everything in the premises and, moreover, is a representative body. The barrel skirt is to contain sixteen yards of cloth and be tight at the waist and ankles. Hence it requires little imagination to picture its wearer like a dirigible stood on end—that is, a pose possible except when the wind blows a gale. The department of commerce estimates the shipment of munitions to Europe at $2,000,000 worth a day now. Some of the large companies had a heavier home trade in 1915 than in foreign orders. Military training of young men is never a waste of time, and that is more than can be said of some other training which might be named for some young men. On second and sober thought about every normal person is confident that war between the United States and any European power will be averted somehow. A joke which every one knows is a joke when he sees or hears it is the dietist's advice against eating meat three times a day. THE TWIN CITY STAR CALL TO EDUCATORS. Conference Scheduled For Dur- ham, N. C., Nov. 21-24. The following invitation to educators, issued by Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the National Training school, Durham, N. C., should, and no doubt will, meet a hearty response from educators throughout the country. The invitation: Durham, N. C., March, 1916. The National Training school, Durham, N. C., extends a cordial invitation to the heads of universities, colleges and secondary schools for the education and training of colored people in the United States to be the guests of the school Nov. 21-24, 1916, for the purpose of conferences, closer unity and understanding of the needs and educational requirements of the colored people. Among the subjects to be discussed particular stress will be laid on the following: What is the opinion of the educators themselves in regard to the duplication of work in schools in the various communities? Has it been hurful, unwise and wasteful? What plans ought to be fostered to correct the evil? To what extent should classes devoted to teacher training be encouraged? How and where located? What system should be devised to meet the requirements of the rural teacher? What should be the standard of the university, college, normal school, teacher training and secondary schools? How should students be received from one to the other? To what extent should religious instruction be carried on in the various schools? Should there be a general clearing house for aid for Negro schools? Is the aid given by the various funds and boards to Negro education wise, economical and helpful? Many other and kindred subjects will be announced on the tentative program, which will be published in the early fall. This conference has been suggested by a great many who desire to know the actual condition and needs of the school devoted to Negro education from those who are actually doing the work. No conference in recent years will be more farreaching in its effects than this. The guests will be entertained free of charge by the National Training school. Durham itself presents a field of study and inspiration, which will be furnished by no other city of its size in the country. Do you approve of such a conference? Will you be present? Please let me know at your earliest convenience. Yours for service. JAMES E. SHEPARD. JAMES E. SHEFARD, President National Training School, Durham, N. C. BELIEVES IN HIS RACE. William B. Ferguson Deplores Color Prejudice In United States Navy. In the report of Admiral Fletcher of the United States navy, made public by the senate recently, the following statement occurs: "In one division of four battleships the division commander in his June inspections reported a shortage of 1,350 men, or an average shortage of more that 300 men in each ship." William B. Ferguson of Dante, Va., commenting on the above statement in the admiral's report, says: "If it were not for so much prejudice and discrimination in the navy all these vacancies could be filled with young colored men who, as far as moral, intellectual and physical requirements are concerned, could meet each and every one. "Tear down the bars and have a free field and fair chance for all citizens, and the vacancies not only in the navy, but in the coast defenses, can be filled with men who with the necessary training will meet all the requirements." S. A. Duncan Joins Press Association. Among the new members of the National Negro Press association is Samuel A. Duncan, editor and publisher of the Pilot-Gazette of New York city. Editor Duncan is very much interested in the work of the association. He is a strong advocate of race co-operation and believes that the press should take a leading part in all good movements for racial betterment. Well Prepared Extension Official. The recent appointment of Miss Nellie Robinson, class of 1014, State college, Orangeburg, S. C., as state extension worker in home economies brings to the service a well prepared leader.

How the Colored Troops Fought In Battle of Port Hudson. Under the heading, "The Reason Why," J. P. Prickett, writing of the valor of the colored soldiers just before the assault on Port Hudson, says: "The assault on Port Hudson was pending. It was to test the fitness of the colored race for freedom. The white colonel of the colored regiment called the colored standard bearer to him and implored him not to dishonor the flag and bring reproach upon his race by being recreat to duty. This lowly representative of a despised people replied, 'I'll bring these colors back with honor or report to God the reason why.'" The above is followed by a poem, which in part is as follows: Prayed that God might fill with patriotism and courage the light of faith in light. In each lowly life a bright pathway to freedom's new birthright; That these newborn sons of freedom, in whose swelling hearts and breasts Burned the memories of centuries of oppression. blood gave in blood had rent the chains; Chains of slavery from a fettered race and where in blood they'd trod Lay in death the color bearer. His life's blood the banner stains. Ah, beyond the silent river he's reporting- now to God. THE SCOURGE OF A RACE. Two Segregation Ordinances Passed by St. Louis, Tuesday, Feb. 29. Just as a well planned antithesis may be included in the formation of a sentence the two race segregation ordinances voted upon by the people of St. Louis on Tuesday, Feb. 29, received a big majority on the eve of the first convention of the national defense committee, held in St. Louis on Friday and Saturday, March 3 and 4. The convention was composed of the mayors and other representatives of over 600 cities of the United States. The segregation ordinances voted upon by the people of St. Louis Feb. 29 were passed by a majority vote of 34,344, the vote being 52,220 for segregation to 17,787 against. The two propositions voted upon were similar in character. One of the ordinances provides that a Negro or white may not become a resident in a block occupied entirely by those of the opposite color. The other imposes the same restrictions in blocks containing 75 per cent white or the like percentage of Negro residents. As both ordinances are adopted, the second, being the more stringent of the two, will be effective. Neither ordinance puts any restriction on the ownership of property, but restricts solely the use of property for residence purposes. Negroes who are employed in houses or apartments occupied by white persons are unaffected by the ordinances. Apartment house janitors who live in the basements of apartments occupied by whites will not be affected. Both ordinances contain clauses providing that the proposed laws shall not affect persons at present living in blocks occupied by members of the other race. Under the more stringent or "75 per cent measure" only about 150 blocks will be available for Negro residences. The reported boom in yacht construction, unequaled in number for at least two decades, cannot be attributed directly to the war. E. W. Dale, Owner. LADY ASSISTANT IF DESIRED Office: 317 PLYMOUTH AVE.
