Largest Gift From One Family In the History of the Young Men's Christian Association Movement Among the Colored People—Career of Thrifty St. Louis Couple. St. Louis.—During the financial campaign conducted by the Young Men's Christian association in this city not long ago the colored people showed their race pride by giving the effort to raise funds for a new building for the association loyal support. At one stage of the canvass there were those who thought the task too great and that the association would have to look to other sources in order to raise the required amount. At this time Professor and Mrs. A. E. Malone gave utterance to the following words: "Complaints and wallings without effort yet made a race nor ever will. We must not expect others to do for us as 6 a race what we can do for ourselves." They gave $5,000, thus enabling the men to raise a great deal more than the required amount. Dr. Jesse E. Moorland, senior international Y. M. C. A. secretary, who had charge of the canvass, had on previous occasions, when conducting campaigns for other associations, said that he should not be satisfied until he found a member of the race who was able and would give $5,000 to the work of the Young Men's Christian association. There have been several gifts of $1,000 to the Y. M. C. A. in the twelve or more campaigns which Dr. Moorland has conducted, and this, no doubt, led Dr. Moorland to believe that the limit had not been reached. Professor and Mrs. Malone have always shown great interest in racial enterprises, as this gift of $5,000 clearly demonstrates. Mrs. Malone is the founder and president of the Poro college in this city, which is doubtless the only institution of its kind in the United States conducted by members of our race. Mrs. Annie M. Pope-Turner-Malone is a native of Metropolis, Ill. She was born of humble parents and was left an orphan at an early age. Being of a thrifty and ambitious disposition she managed to care for herself by diligent work. She finished the grammar school course and then took a course of study in the high school at Peoria, Ill. When but a young girl Mrs. Malone studied the art of caring for and dressing hair until she became an expert in this line of business. She began business for herself at Lovejoy, Ill., where she was located for a year and a half. From Lovejoy she changed her residence to this city. From the experience already gained she believed that there was a great future for her as a business woman. That she had the right idea of the matter may be seen from her present status in business. Her establishment consists of a twenty room building, and she employs from 1,000 to 1,500 women and girls of our race in the conduct of the Poro college in this city. Professor Aaron E. Malone is a native of Graves county, Ky. Like Mrs. Malone, he was left an orphan at the age of three. He was looked after by an elder sister. He received his early education in the public schools. At Mayfield, Ky., he worked during the day and went to school at night. In 1800 he went to Paducah, Ky., to further pursue his studies, which he did for two years very successfully. In 1903 he finished the high school course at Carbondale, Ill. He has done considerable educational work at various institutions. He was for four years principal of the school at Murphysboro, Ill. His next place of labor was at Edwardsville, Ill., where he held the position of principal of the public school for four years. On leaving Edwardsville he accepted the principalship of the Lincoln high school at Quincy, Ill. He held this position for ten years. Professor Malone's first real business experience was gained as field manager for the Howard-Severance company in Chicago after he gave up educational work. STATESMAN AND EDUCATOR. Governor Brumbaugh Mentioned For Presidency—Friend of Colored Boys Friends of Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania have secured the governor's consent to place his name before the voters at the preferential primaries to be held in Pennsylvania in May as a candidate for the presidential nomination at the national Republican convention to be held in Chicago in June. Governor Brumbaugh is a trustee of Fisk university, Nashville, Tenn. He has rendered valuable service as an educator in other capacities in various parts of the United States. Dr. Brumbaugh was selected by the late Hon. William McKinley to organize the public system of Porto Rico, which is still being followed by the people of Porto Rico. He has also served as superintendent of the public schools of Philadelphia. He is a foremost advocate in matters pertaining to institutions for the higher education of colored people. While in charge of educational work in the south Dr. Brumbaugh had the opportunity of coming in close personal contact with our people, and he used this opportunity in opening the way for the race to receive equal educational advantages in the public and other schools under his supervision. Fighting Segregation In St. Louis. The St. Louis segregation ordinances are causing no small amount of trouble. Injunctions to prevent their enforcement by the mayor and other city officials have been filed in the United States district court by both white and colored property owners. The complainants declare that the ordinances are a violation of the constitution of Missouri and the constitution of the United States. It is believed that any attempt to enforce the new law before it receives the sanction of the state supreme court will be stubbornly fought and that if the state supreme court upholds the ordinance an appeal will be taken to the United States supreme court. CAPABLE MAN ON THE JOB. Phil Waters Retained on Staff of St. Louis Sporting News. Charleston, W. Va.—Phil Waters, the well known and highly successful political leader, platform orator and all round athlete, has been signally honored by appointment for the sixth consecutive term as staff correspondent of the Sporting News, published at St. Louis and acknowledged as the foremost authority of the country on sporting topics. The appointment is exceedingly popular in this city, where Mr. Waters is recognized as the best informed man in the state on news of interest to devotees of the track, field, diamond, rod, gun and other diversions of an athletic or sporting trend. He is being warmly congratulated upon all sides, and it is the verdict that no better selection could have been made. The Charleston Gazette says Phil Waters has long borne in this community the unofficial title of "human compendium of sporting events" and generously voices the opinion that he will continue to be a tower of strength to the Sporting News, which pays him the rare compliment of printing his budget of information just as he writes it, word for word, and is glad to handle all of the "dope" he can put out, be it national, local or editorial comment. Phil Waters' contributions not only appear in the Sporting News, but are widely reprinted in the athletic and sporting columns of the metropolitan newspapers all over the land. He has a natural "nose for news" and a knack of "putting it over" in a particularly attractive fashion. Louis Merriman Passes Away at 121. Louis Merriman, whose death occurred at Kansas City, Kan., the second week in March, was reputed to have been 121 years of age. According to the record, Mr. Merriman was the oldest person named on the United States pension list. He was born on a plantation in Virginia in 1735 and had an eventful career. SMOKE THE RELIABLE SIGHT DRAFT CIGAR PROGRESS MADE TOWARD PEACE Leaders of Peace Movement Submit Comprehensive Plan by Which the Breach In the National Body May Be Closed—How the Heads of State Organizations May Assist. Washington. —The peace movement recently organized among the Baptists of this city is making splendid progress. The object of the movement is to reunite the two divisions of the national Baptist convention. Dr. William H. Jernagin, pastor of the Mount Carmel Baptist church, and Miss Nannie Helen Burroughs, president of the National Training School For Women and Girls and secretary of the women's convention of the national body, are president and secretary of the movement respectively. The steps suggested by the peace movement to be taken by the two factions in order to bring about union are the following: First. —Stop the publication of inflammatory articles. Eliminate forever all unkind personalities. Discuss measures, not men. Contend for principles without harshness or bitterness. By the co-operation of editors of our denominational papers and others living up to their high mission as dispensers of that which builds spiritually and morally instead of upon explosives and combustibles. That the press, that might vehicle for making sentiment, publish only tidings of peace and good will. Second.—Withdraw all lawsuits, for we are wasting money and destroying men's influence and bringing reproach upon the name "Baptists." Third.—State leaders keep the war out of the states. Fourth.—Adjust without giving away, selling out or surrendering any rights, moral, material or Baptistic. Let all administrative affairs, those of boards and convention, be properly adjusted. The denomination is teeming with men who have the mental calmness, statesman-like vision and grace filled souls to make our constitution the safest, soundest and most satisfactory instrument ever sent forth from the pen of mortal. Fifth.—This can be done if the executive boards of the two conventions will meet separately and prepare their instruments in tones that become Christians and brethren and then meet together and present them for the prayerful and careful consideration and action of both. The boards could then call a session extraordinary with a well prepared "get together and stay together" plan, and God will do the rest. Sixth.—Since the pulpit has certainly been our greatest agency for uplift and it should now as never before "lift up its voice like a trumpet and show the people their transgressions and the house of Jacob their sins," we appeal to every minister to be up and about the King's business. Seventh.-Since one of the causes of separation is due to a difference over management of a plant, we believe that an amicable settlement can be made when the following information is obtained with reference to the Nashville property: What is the value of our realty holdings, incumbrances thereon, how property is deeded, to whom mortgages, etc., are due. value of machinery, value of stock, outstanding bills of stock and machinery, to whom owed, liabilities, salaries, to whom owed, other liabilities. The secretary of the board will not, we hope, hesitate to give this information to the leaders of both conventions or to any group of Baptists who are working to unite the forces. Eighth.—Since the next difference is over the administrative affairs of the convention, we appeal to our executive force to lead out in devising plans to regulate by constitutional enactment the election of officers, the management and supervision of every phase of the work done by the boards and, lastly, to make the national body a model of Christian dignity and the annual gatherings an occasion of great spiritual and moral uplift to those who come long distances on business for the King. With these things adjusted, not by the courts, but by Baptists all assembled in one place and of one mind and with the Holy Spirit to guide, we shall get back to the old landmark set by those wise men twenty years ago. The most unfair and unfortunate feature of this catastrophe is that we are now pushing the war into the states and forcing people who have tremendous burdens—educational, missionary, social—to take up the national fight, to divide their forces, to stop their own local work to fight among themselves over national problems. What a price to pay! The end of state splits will not even be in sight until there are two state conventions and two auxiliaries of every kind in every state. What a cumbersome lot of machinery we are ordering when the watchword of our times is "efficiency," and efficiency means the conservation of energy and the elimination of waste by which we make the largest use of power and attain the greatest possible results from the smallest investment. E. B. FAIRWEATHER'S PLUCK. How a New York Business Man Conquered His Difficulties. Mr. Elwyn B. Fairweather, vice president of the Pan-American Products company of New York, is a young man of ideas and is a credit to the Negro race. About a year or two ago he and one or two other men undertook to launch a company in New York—in fact did launch it—for the purpose of conducting an import and export business with South America, the West Indies and Africa. The scheme failed because the brethren had little faith and less cash. Mr. Fairweather struggled along for some months, hoping against hope, and finally decided to take his eggs to another market. He did and sold them at a good price. White business men listened to his story and were convinced of the practicability and feasibility of his plans for making money out of the raw material of which there is an abundance all over South America, the West Indies and Africa. His plan is the identical plan he submitted to "colored" men in New York city, but their dull minds could not grasp it—they hesitated, they dallied, forgetting that he who dallies is a dastard and he who doubts is damned. The American Aluminum Company of New York city, a concern with unlimited capital, has become interested in the Pan-American Products corporation's properties in South America, and the president of this company is now en route to British Guiana to inspect them and to confer with Mr. D. E. Headley, the corporation's local agent at Pernambuco, who is a man of color, a practical mining and civil engineer, who has acquired a quite considerable tract of land in Guiana, on which bauxite is to be found in great quantities. Now, bauxite is the mineral from which aluminium is made, and it commands good prices. The American Aluminum company will invest a generous sum at the start with the Pan-American corporation, which is developing these properties. Mr. Fairweather is the only colored man connected in an official capacity with the Pan-American corporation in this country. Mr. Headley is the agent and engineer of the corporation in the Guianas. The concern is going to do big business in the next year, for it will get all the capital it requires. "Colored" men, united, could do just as big business in this line if they only had a little more faith in each other and would loosen up their purse strings. LACK OF HUMAN KINDNESS. Sad Experience of Dorothy L. M. Armstrong at Yonkers, N. Y. Dorothy L. M. Armstrong, aged twenty-one, colored, sought shelter at the Young Women's Christian association in Yonkers, N. Y., recently. She had no money and wanted to pawn a watch to enable her, with the proceeds, to go to her sister's home in Virginia. She was turned over to a police officer, who took her to the White Rose cottage, 3 School street. Later she went away from there, and the police were asked to take care of her if found, says the Yonkers Statesman. The above situation seems very strange. The Young Women's Christian association of Yonkers recently celebrated its fiftieth anniversary and kept open house for a week or ten days. One of the features of the jollification was a night devoted to the colored women of the city who belong to the association. They gave a musical and literary program, and the white ladies looked on as spectators and sometimes applauded a particularly interesting number. But why should this white Women's Christian association treat this colored girl so un-Christianlike and turn her over to the police? Are there "no rooms in the inn" for colored women? What a travesty on the name Christian! Would the Christ have turned away this stranger seeking shelter, hospitality and a word of comfort and encouragement? What must have been the feelings of this dark hued sister as she reflected on the heartless and frigid reception accorded her by these Christian white ladies! God save the mark! PETER B. BURKE PATRIOTISM OF THE NEGRO. Dr. Leidy Recalls Endurance of the Colored Troops In War. At this period in the life of the nation, when most of the great foreign powers are fighting one another, much is being written and published in praise of the colored man as a soldier and of the loyalty of the race generally to the American flag. The compliment, however, begs the question, says N. B. Dodson. Never since Crispus Attucks faced the British soldiers in Boston has the world doubted the sincerity of the devotion of the colored race to the country of its adoption in peace or war. Therefore the following article by Dr. C. Fontaine Maury Leldy. Philadelphia, which appeared in the Philadelphia Public Ledger on March 18 is thrilling as well as interesting. Dr. Leldy says: In anticipation of strife, whether internal or external, and the spasmodic attempts to train bodies of men in every section of the country we will revert eventually to the national guard as the largest organized body especially for home protection. Citizens complain that the guard is not fully enlisted. Neither is it. This city and state have a great unknown power in the Negro and could enlist with the sound of the bugle a regiment and more of the finest body of men that ever wore a uniform. They have the physique and endurance. This country could enlist half a million Negroes, if not double this number, and even more. The history of the civil war tells repeatedly of the endurance of the Negro soldier and more would have been written had the conditions been different. Many units in our army today are of foreign birth. In time of war would it not be natural to have some fear, if only a passing thought? But the Negro knows no country but this. It is his. Never has history portrayed one not loyal. The Negro is quick to learn tactics and obeys orders implicit, and no officer could question his loyalty to the flag. Philadelphia should organize immediately a full regiment of Negroes. They should have their armory. They should be fully equipped and absorbed into the national guard of Pennsylvania. To make any distinction would mean a failure. Every opportunity should be given to enlist. I recall the parade on Broad street after the Spanish-American war. There was no regiment of troops who marched with exactitude and nicety of precision that the Negro regiment did. Now is the time for such a move to be made. The time will or it—it may be near—that this city will be glad and proud to have such an organization as a regiment of well trained Negro troops. The Negro requires white officers. They must have them now at least, but he makes no objection to this—none whatever. Only give him a chance to be enrolled upon the same footing as other members of the national guard, thereby increasing our N. G. P. several regiments. I heard a little of the fight of San Juan hill. I had the fortune to have charge of ninety-eight Negro soldiers who saved the Rough Riders and the day. They were suffering from typhoid fever. I never saw such wonderfully developed men, one and all, although many at death's door. They showed they were men of great endurance, with little to say. There was no sign of bravado or tales of courage, only a plain, simple story of their fight. Will not some one take this matter up now and organize immediately a body of Negroes who are now only waiting to be called? The benefit will not only be to the nation, but to the Negro as a race.

ADVERTISE IN THE STAR NOTABLE CAREER OF P. H. BROWN Kentucky Editor Stands High Among His Fellows. HONORED BY REPUBLICANS. Secretary of State Committee Elected Delegate at Large to National Convention, Which Meets In Chicago In June, by Big Vote—Influential Leader In Many Campaigns. By JOHN E. BRUCE "GRIT." By a vote of 1,953 against 323 for his opponent (white) Phil H. Brown, secretary of the Republican state committee of Kentucky and editor of the Saturday News, Lexington, Ky., was elected delegate at large to the national Republican convention, which assembles at Chicago in June. Mr. Brown is one of the most widely known and popular Negroes in Kentucky. He is a man of fine character and of recognized ability. He has been in active public life for quite twenty-five years. He is a printer by trade and worked at the case in the government printing office at Washington for a number of years. He is a writer of no mean ability. His style is forceful, direct and pleasing. He has written special articles for some of the leading papers in the west and was for a long period a contributor to Puck. His election as delegate at large is a compliment to the Republicans of both races in Kentucky no less than to the distinguished recipient of their suffrage, whose sterling worth, rugged integrity, unfinching loyalty and patriotic devotion to the interests of his race command the admiration of white men and the gratitude of black men, who are always glad of an opportunity to show him in what esteem he is held by his fellow citizens. The forthcoming national Republican convention will have fewer Negro delegates this year than any previous national convention, and it is extremely fortunate that the states sending Negro delegates are selecting men of the mental caliber and political experience of Phil H. Brown. The Lily Whites of the south and the milksop Republicans of the north have succeeded in reducing the representation from the south, where the bulk of the Republican party, which is largely black and loyal, has its habitat. In plain, unadulterated, unprinted Saxon the reason is that the so called white Republicans of the south, calling themselves Lily White Republicans, have for years been obsessed with the fear that the great black majorities in these southern states, if permitted to have their votes counted as cast, would again come into power in the south and the occupation of the white political adventurer, like Othello's, would be gone. Self preservation being the first law of nature the Lily White Republican came into existence in obedience to its demand, and has passed the word from the farthest south to the farthest north to delimit the political progress of the Negro in the south, where his numbers are dangerous when arrayed against the political ambition of white men who have lost the power to hypnotize his race. I hope some one of the Negro delegates to the Chicago convention in June will challenge the right of the national committee to reduce the representation from the south. The reasons advanced by it are not the true reasons, and we know it. There is an element of unfairness and injustice in the suppression of the voice and the votes of hundreds of thousands of voters in the black belts of the south who, because they are Negroes, have been disfranchised by states having no legal right to do so. The United States created the states and recreated some of those states that were in rebellion against them and is, therefore, supreme over all. In making these blacks a voteless and voiceless majority and compelling them to pay taxes for the support of government the Lily Whites of the south and their northern accomplices have created a condition akin to that which forced the thirteen colonies to rebel against the mother country in 1776. If taxation without representation was tyranny in 1776, what is its name in 1916? Not the Land. Visitor-How does the land lie out here?

NEW MOVEMENT GROWS RAPIDLY Seventy-two Orders Unite With Fraternal Congress. Cincinnati Editor Outlines Platform of Combined Secret and Mutual Benefit Organization in Thoughtful Address. National Body Will Act as Port of Refuge, Says Mr. Jones. Joseph L. Jones, editor of the Fraternal Monitor, Cincinnati, and chairman of the executive committee of the National Negro Press association, outlines the object and aim of the national congress of Negro fraternities, organized at Cincinnati in February, in the following address to fraternal organizations throughout the country. Mr. Jones says: The national congress of Negro fraternities is no longer a myth, but a real, live, lusty infant, assured of a development and power which will command the deferential consideration of the friend who needs our help or the foe whose acts invite our opposition. Seventy-two state organizations have responded to our call. Supine quiescence when the rights of the Negro are assailed is largely responsible for the illegal and unwarranted restrictions we as a race suffer. This is a dishonorable quietude practiced by the unprepared or indifferent. Our various societies in the several JOSEPH L. JONES. states are the footballs for legislators who attack the weak to gain a popularity and re-election. No organization having membership in this body is weaker than the combined strength of all the organizations composing it. Through this organization we expect to prove beyond doubt to all inimically inclined that no longer are any of our fraternal institutions the playthings of those who seek political popularity. We will be in the watchtower, fully equipped for defense, when our immense property holdings or endowment departments are assailed because our success lessens the profits of similar commercial concerns. This must be the strongest fortification of the race and so well organized that even surprisal will meet defeat. Every member of every state organization holding membership in the national congress of Negro fraternities is a picket, always on duty to report the approach of foe or friend. This is our world, our kingdom, our republic our organized nation, our army. In our plan no salaried officers are sugested, no pet schemes are fostered, no personal aggrandizements are nurtured, but upon a platform serving notice to the world that we are prepared for defense and stand out in the open for a square deal for all our people, we unfurl our flag to God's free zephyr and step in the line of march of all those organizations, whose ultimate aims are protection against unjustifiable denial of constitutional rights. The die is cast. We sink or swim as our munitions are provided, and our munitions consist chiefly of your membership, your loyalty, your compliance with our constitution, your co-operation your faith and your prayers. This organization is a divine inspiration, second only in marvel to the divine conception. Great God! How can it fall? It is the answer to the argument that Negroes are not organized. It is the response to the challenge. "Fight or die." The birth of this congress is the grave of the wrongs and oppressions planned by enemies for the future. Our plan involves all activities which are necessary in the uplift or defense of our fraternities and our people. The standardization of working plans of the several organizations which would change in any way their peculiar individual or character is not intended. No such interference is necessary. This national organization is the port of refuge, the national bank, the standing army, to which any of its members may fly when al of any kind is needed or when the boll woevil of prejudice threatens to destroy us root and branch. The committees named in our constitution imply their activities by their titles. The battleship has been launched; the crew has embarked; the nag of peace floats at her mast; the dogs of war peer over her gunwale; God is her pilot; fair play is her mission. MEMORIAL FUND GAINS SUPPORT Encouraging News From the Tuskegee Institute. Financial Campaign to Raise $250,000 Among the Colored People Toward a Sum to Perpetuate the Work of Dr. Booker T. Washington Is Meeting With Success. Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Never has any movement among the colored people aroused so much interest and cooperation as has the campaign for the Booker T. Washington memorial fund. Everywhere there appears to be a growing sentiment that this is the one opportunity for the colored people to show how much they are willing to do for themselves. In their enthusiasm and loyalty some of the friends in their letters to Tuskegee have said that they regard it as a responsibility they owe to the race to contribute to this fund. In a letter one friend says, "The white people of the country, north and south, are eagerly watching to see what the colored people are going to do to help perpetuate the work founded by Dr. Booker T. Washington, and they will give in proportion as the colored people themselves give." At a special meeting of some of the trustees of the Tuskegee institute held in New York city recently Secretary Emmett J. Scott presented letters from men and women of the race prominent in church, in fraternal organizations and in business and read editorial comments from many of the colored papers pledging support to the campaign. The trustees were deeply impressed by the spirit of love and appreciation for Dr Washington which prompted the sentiments of these loyal friends. A letter typical of this sentiment has been received from Bishop George W. Clinton of the A. M. E. Zion church. Bishop Clinton in part says: "First, I hereby pledge $100; second I shall do all in my power to encourage my friends and the ministers and churches of the Fourth Episcopal district to contribute and shall lend my heartiest support to the campaign in whatever way I can; third, I have in mind a proposition to suggest a Booker T. Washington night at our New Jersey conference, which is to be held at Camden in April, and at our general conference, which is to be held in Louisville, Ky., in May, and I also suggest that April 5, the date recently discovered to be the anniversary of Dr. Washington's birth, be set aside by our people as a special occasion to contribute to the cause of Negro education and to make a special donation for the support of the work at Tuskegee institute." Fraternal organizations are likewise taking active steps, through their executive heads, to organize subsidiary campaigns among their own members and otherwise co-operating with Mr. Scott. Mr. C. N. McDaniels, state grand secretary of the Alabama Jurisdiction of the Masonic lodge, has written as follows: "I wish to say in reply that I immediately took the matter up with State Grand Master W. T. Woods of Mobile asking him to name the first monthly communication in May of each subordinate lodge in the state as memorial day for Dr. Washington and that I be allowed to issue a circular informing them of the grand master's request and calling upon the lodges to contribute on this day to the fund, sending same direct to Mr. Logan, treasurer of Tuskegee institute." A similar circular has been prepared by State Grand Master Andrew W Dungey of Lansing, Mich., and will be sent to members of the Masonic fraternity of the state of Michigan. "I shall issue a direct appeal to all the lodges in the jurisdiction asking them to contribute to the fund as liberally as they possibly can," writes Mr. Dungey. Local campaigns in which our newspapers are taking the forward part and publishing each week the names of contributors and their amounts are being conducted by W. P. Kemp, editor of the Detroit Leader, and F. E. Washington, editor of the Citizen, Pensacola, Fla. Thus with fraternal organizations, churches and newspapers all working in harmony for its success, the campaign is shaping itself for a vigorous effort to raise the $250,000 as the colored people's part of the memorial fund.

FINE PROGRAM RENDERED. President Prillerman of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute Attended Meeting and Visited Institutions of Learning—Success of E. C. Berry in the Hotel Business. President Byrd Prillerman has returned from Detroit, where he attended the recent meeting of the department of superintendence of the National Education association. He says that the attendance was the largest in the history of the association. There were more than 4,000 present, and President Shawkey, the efficient state superintendent of West Virginia, deserves great credit for bringing so many able educators together and for giving those in attendance such a well balanced program. Only two other colored teachers were present. They were Professor Frank Williams, principal of the Summer high school, St. Louis, and Professor J. W. Hughes, principal of the school in East St. Louis, Ill. It would be a fine thing if more persons especially interested in Negro education would attend these national gatherings. While in Detroit Mr. Prillerman was the guest of Messrs. John and Cornellus Curtis. In company with these gentlemen he visited [Image of a man in a suit with a mustache]. the Ford automobile factory, where he was greatly impressed with Mr. Ford's system of education. From Detroit Mr. Prillerman went to Ann Arbor, Mich., to visit the state university. Here he found about fifty Negro students in attendance. Among them was Miss Phyllis Waters of Charleston, W. Va., who is a member of the junior class. He visited the Michigan Agricultural college at Lansing, where his son, Delbert McCulough, is a junior in the agricultural course. There were three other colored students in attendance, but none from the state of Michigan. He was treated with every courtesy by the president and professors of the institution and by invitation of the president spoke at a banquet given by the agricultural students. On his way back to Institute, W. Va., he stopped over a few days in Columbus, where he visited the Champion Avenue public school, of which Miss Maude Baker is principal. It will be remembered that this is the only school in Columbus especially for the education of Negro youth. It is an experiment in the section of Columbus where many of our people reside. Miss Baker is doing very efficient work as the principal of this school. Mr. Prillerman visited the Ohio State university, where he found some fifty colored students in attendance. Among these were eight from West Virginia. Four of the eight are graduates from the West Virginia College institute—D. L. Ferguson of Institute, O. A. Pierce of Fayetteville, Emmett Saunders of Eagle and John Johnson of Montgomery. Mr. Ferguson holds the mile record at the Ohio State university and has been selected as class orator for the commencement next June. Mr. Prillerman spoke to the colored students in a body at their special request. He also visited the Ohio university at Athens, where he found nine colored students in attendance. While in Athens he was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Berry of the Berry hotel. It should be more widely known that the Berry hotel is owned and operated by E. C. Berry, a colored man who has risen from the ranks. This hotel is regarded as one of the best in southeastern Ohio. In operating this hotel Mr. Berry has proved two things that cause him to deserve national fame as a constructive and patriotic citizen. He has built and conducts his hotel without a saloon attached and without discriminating against the members of his own race. There is probably no other Negro in America who has done more single handed than has Mr. Berry in establishing and maintaining his hotel on high principles. Mr. Prillerman says that the Negro students have made a fine record in scholarship at all the institutions he visited, but he was impressed with the great lack of opportunity for moral and social training for Negro youth at these great universities.

It combats in the courts, state legislatures, the Halls of Congress, the government departments and everywhere the spirit of persecution against the Colored People which grows out of race prejudice. 3. It aims to bring about such a healthy public sentiment in this land that Colored People will be accorded all their social, civil and political rights and will receive exact justice in all the relations of life. 4. It believes in and teaches the doctrine of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, and the equality of all races in our American civilization. 5.

Newspaper Published at Matzatland Mexico Says Mixture of Negroes and Mexicans would make Vigorous Mazatland, Mexico — (Reciprocal News Service, taken and translated from the Correo De La Tarde of Mazatland, Mex., by C. B.) "It is inferred by what is asserted in the El Imparcial, under date of January 29th past, under heading 'The Negro Problem' that this daily wishes that our race be improved, crossing with the black woman, because as it seems, it advocates that colonies of Negroes should establish themselves in Mexico. "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 'bête 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." VALUE OF FOLK SONG MUSIC. What a Southern Newspaper Says of Our Progress as Composers. Under the caption, "The Negro In Music," the Richmond (Va.) TimesDispatch in a recent issue says: Assuming that the basis of what is termed national music is found in folk song, it may be urged that American music, so far as it is peculiarly American, is based on Negro melodies. This finds support, for example, in Dvorak's "Symphony From the New World," which abounds in melodies strikingly suggestive of our plantation tunes. True, it is contended that none of these melodies is to be found in Negro music in the form in which Dvorak wrote them, but the influence of the plantation song is apparent in every interval, every melodic curve. Of Indian music as it survives to us there is much to be said, but the scope of Negro folk song is of more immediate importance since its effect is more widely felt. But the Negro is not confined in music to melodies crooned in the field or wailed in meetings or chanted on decks. The Negro musician is becoming less essentially Negro and more widely musical. In other words, here and there Negroes are writing music, not merely repeating traditional tunes from generation to generation, but composing music that has no racial qualities to set it apart. In churches all over the English speaking world choirs are singing the works of Coleridge Taylor, a Negro whose death a few years ago was regretted by all the world of music, and choral societies are singing his beautiful setting of "Hlawatha." Only recently Amato, the great Italian baritone, sang in a concert in New York a song of warring Italy which was composed by Harry G. Burleigh, a modern American Negro, whose music has been played here frequently. SUMMER SCHOOL PLANS AT HAMPTON ARE COMPLETED Able Instructors Booked For Service at Famous Virginia Institution.

Delegates from the various churches of the African Methodist Episcopal denomination in the state of Virginia have been selected to represent their respective churches at the fifth annual conference of the A. M. E. church to be held at Richmond, beginning on Tuesday, April 4. The sessions of the conference will be held in the Third Street Bethel A. M. E. church. This session of the conference will be of more than ordinary importance or account of the near date of the general conference of the A. M. E. church, which is to be held in Philadelphia in May. Several of the bishops and officers of the general conference will be in attendance at the Richmond meeting. Sanford Johnson Was Wealthy Farmer. Sanford Johnson, whose will was filed for probate at Stockton, Kan., the early part of March, was one of the most thirty farmers of Rooks county. Mr. Johnson had been a resident of the county for nearly forty years. He reared and educated his six children, who share his estate, which consists of 640 acres of land free of debt and personal property valued at $7,000. He was born a slave, but when he was emancipated he struck out for himself and made good use of his opportunities. THE TWIN CITY STAR CALL TO EDUCATORS. Conference Scheduled For Durham, 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 hurtful, 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, 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 800 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.

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 recruit 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: There, like ebon statues in the starlight, stood the black brigade. As adown the ranks the colonial strode through the plains cloaked; Prayed that God might fill with patriot zeal each darkened soul and light In each lowly breast a bright pathway to freedom's new birthright; That these newborn sons of freedom, in whose swelling hearts and breasts Burmese children centuries of bondage and of wrong. Over yonder in the moonlight flouted out the stars and bars. African Missionaries Are In Need. The Rev. A. R. Robinson, D. D., chairman of the foreign missions board of the national Baptist convention, with other members of the board, is doing effective work in informing the churches of the denomination of the needs of the missionaries on the foreign field. Miss S. M. Taylor and Miss E. L. Davis are in charge of the mission school at Fortsville, West Africa. They, like others on the field, are in need of food, clothing and money with which to keep the work of Christian training among the natives from going down. Dr. Robinson appeals to all who can to send something for the work to the board at 701 South Nineteenth street, Philadelphia, on or before March 15. SMART SET ATHLETIC CLUB.
