Officials of Militant Organization of National Importance Issue Final Word on Matters Pertaining to Great Meeting to Be Held In Washington For Two Days, Beginning Oct. 4. By N. BARNETT DODSON. BY N. BARNETT DODSON. Hillburn, N. Y.-President Byron Gunner of the National Equal Rights league has issued the final word on the coming Citizens' Rights Congress, to be held at the John Wesley A. M. E. Zlon church, Fourteenth and Coronar streets, Washington, Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 4-5. The league's meeting will be held on Friday, Oct. 6. Cheering news is being received daily from many sections of the country of the active work being done to have delegates present in large numbers when the congress opens. The move is a broad one, got up in the open WILLIAM MONROE TROTTER, SECRETARY NATIONAL DUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE. WILLIAM MONROE TROTTER, SECRETARY NATIONAL, EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE, and led by the people themselves; hence the response to Dr. Gunner and Secretary W. Monroe Trotter's call is all the more liberal. It has also been announced that New York and Brook lyn will send several representatives to the meeting armed with facts hither not published on movements immin tual to our race. No better place could be selected for holding such a meeting than at the nation's capital. No better time could have been decided upon than the date here announced. The geographical loca- tion is very significant. From Wash ington, almost in a direct line, is Appomattox Court House, in Virginia, where the proud Lee was forced to surrender his army after a long war to the wise and sagacious Grant, the Napoleon of the northern army. And, again, as a royal reminder to those who think lightly about our nativity and citizenship in this country, there is Jamestown, Va., whose historic signifi- cance is too well known with refer ence to the colored American to need any comment whatsoever. These points of national import ought to afford the delegates to the congress and those who deliver adresses both inspiration and ammunition with which to make comparisons on the status of the race at various times, beginning at Jamestown centuries ago, then lead up to Appatomox, and then behold what manner of segregation with which the race is surrounded at the citadel of freedom and liberty. The Rev. Mr. Gunner in the final call says: "I appeal to our people in all sections to come together in a national congress of colored Americans to voice the feelings and views of the race on the shameful conditions surrounding us and to decide upon the most effectual ways and means for combating color segregation and all other forms of color discrimination now practiced against us. "Many letters of hearty and earnest indorsement that have been received from men and women living in various sections of our country, all urging that the time is ripe and most opportunity for a great gathering together of our people in defense of their most sacred interests, show that the call for a great race congress has touched a responsive choir in the thought and hearts of our people that is scarcely less than nation wide. "The passion for liberty and the determination to have it for ourselves seem to be growing among us. Our people seem as never before to be waking up to the need and importance of earnest co-operation. "The scattered leaders of 10,000,000 of oppressed colored Americans should get together and impress the public mind with the fact of our growing determination not to remain half slave in this country. But we cannot do this without unity of plan and heartiness in co-operation." HUGHES PITILESS ON MEXICAN DISGRACE In His Mind and on His Tongue More Than Any Other Single Problem With Which Mr. Wilson Has Paltered. CRAZY CHAPTER OF BLUNDERS No One Can Hear Him Speak Without Seeing the Reality of His Indignation Over the Heartless Policy of the Democratic Administration Toward American Men, Women and Children, American Citizens, Soldiers and Sailors Along and Across the Rio Grande. Soon after Mr. Hughes was nominated a friend said to him, "Governor, if the American people forget the Mexican disgrace they do not deserve to have you for president." Quick as a dash he replied, "The candidate who dodges the Mexican disgrace does not deserve to be president." He did not pass around his address of acceptance for compliment or criticism in advance of its delivery, but the amount of space he devoted to the Mexican disgrace—"that confused chapter of blunders"—surprised no one who had talked with him since his nomination. It has been in his mind and on his mind more than any other single problem with which Mr Wilson has paltered. To talk with him is to see at once the reality of his indignation over the heartless manner in which American men, women and children, American citizens, soldiers and sailors have been abandoned by the administration along and across the Rio Grande, the victims of Mexican armed forces, outfitted with American ammunition and American rifles, Mexicans whom Mr Wilson has coddled one day as patriotism to chase the next as bandits. It is apparently the belief of Mr. Wilson that the people of the United States are not interested in Mexico. His defenders have declared that it was an "old story and out of date". Mr. Hughes has a better opinion of his fellow countrymen. He has proved himself a better judge of their feelings. He has made "the Mexican disgrace" a foremost issue of his campaign. He has assailed the record of the administration in that respect in almost every speech he has made. He has never failed to strike a responsive chord in the hearts of his audience, whether speaking in Carnegie hall, New York, from the platform of his train at Grand Forks, N. D., to a vast audience at Portland, at the exposition at San Diego or in the prairie states of the middle west. He has refuted the slander, sometimes heard in the easteast, that the people of the great west do not care what happens to their fellow citizens in Mexico or to the dias beyond the border. No man born in the west has a firmer faith in the fundamental patriotism and "dominant Americanism" of the people of that section than Mr. Hughes. He holds them responsible in large measure for encouragement and support he received while governor of New York in his war upon political graft and political bossism. He thinks they had much to do with conscripting him as the champion of nationalism in the current campaign. He showed his confidence in their practical idealism when he made "the Mexican disgrace" an uppermost issue of his campaign. He has been vindicated by the response his arrangement of the administration on this score has everywhere evoked. From Maine to California "the Mexican disgrace" is a sure subject with red blooded Americans today. But nowhere between the oceans are the outrages inflicted in Mexico upon American honor life and property more keenly resented than around the firesides of the great west. Mr. Hughes is no stranger to the west. His straightforward talk on Mexico proves it. Smoke "SIGHT DRAFT" The Reliable 5c Cigar. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. SEPTEMBER 30. 1916. B. T. WASHINGTON AS RACE LEADER TUSKEGEE HIS MEMORIAL Emlent Physician Writes Interesting Story About the Founder of Great Southern Industrial School — Possibilities of the Colored People Are Ably Presented. In a recent issue of the New York American Dr. Woods Hutchinson contributes an article on the late Dr Booker T. Washington, in which he in part says: This is not an ungrateful world, after all. Within a few months of his death comes the gratifying report that the memorial fund to the great founder of Tuskegee has already reached $250,000. His greatest memorial, of course, is and will ever be Tuskegee itself and the spirit of self reliance upon which it is founded. He had the clear sightedness to see—and this was his great transforming vision for the salvation of his race—that any man, white or black, who could stand firmly and flatly upon mother earth and win from the elements by his own brain and muscle, illuminated by science, a place and a living need not worry much about recognition by any other race or class. Next to his shrewd and dogged insistence in the training of its students that they must stand upon their own feet, depend upon their own biceps and brains for success and forget for the present everything else came an equally keen and helpful recognition of the wide field of development and progress which lay before them within their own race, regardless entirely of the white. Eleven million souls—a nation within a nation—certainly furnish a wide enough field for development for enterprise and adventure—a population and a territory as great as Switzerland, as Holland, as Belgium, as Canada or Australia. The Negro merchant who can draw all the trade of two-thirds or even half of his own people within his county or tributary district has a good business and the makings of a fortune. A Negro banker who can secure the accounts of all the forehanded farmers and tradesmen and intelligent artisans and laborers of his own race has a good business ready to his hand. Every county town with 3,000 or more colored population to draw from will furnish a good living for a Negro doctor, lawyer, three or four ministers and a dozen teachers. A Negro dairy, a Negro creamery, a cheese factory, an association of Negro fruit growers, can find a ready market and a good trade among their own people in the county, state or neighboring states. Why do they need to concern themselves with what their white neighbors think about the color line? The extent to which this new spirit of self respect and independence and racial pride has already spread, not merely from Tuskegee, but a hundred other lesser centers as well, is one of the most cheering and encouraging signs of the times to the student of economic conditions as they actually exist in the south today. The spirit of the more intelligent and thoughtful and successful Negroes—and there are tens of thousands of such—is no longer one of bitterness against their white neighbors or of vehement assertion of their equality in every respect, but one of friendly competition, of quiet and increasing self respect and mutual respect and of firm determination to win their own way, fight their own battles, regardless of racial rivalries. They have the future before them, and they are willing to wait and let the next hundred or two hundred or three hundred years decide the question of what their real racial worth and possibilities are. Thanks to Tuskegee and the widespread feeling which it both leads and typifies, the race problem in the south is making much more genuine and encouraging progress toward solution than is usually supposed. One of the things that really proved Rooker Washington great was his ability to recognize the difficult truth that there is no real conflict between the best and most vital interests of the Negro and the white people.

Kansas City.-Twenty years of actual work in the religious publishing endeavor were beautifully shown in facts and figures at Armory hall, in this city, where the thirty-sixth annual session of the national Baptist convention was recently held. The report, which was distributed in printed form, was from the Rev. Richard Henry Boyd, D. D., secretary of the national Baptist publishing board and manager of its plant, which is located at Nashville, Teen. The board began business in 1897, and since that time his report shows that year by year it has grown in importance as an asset to the industry of the Negro Baptists of the country. The tabulation of the work done, shown on page 29, where, year by year, the number of letters written, the periodicals circulated and the money spent are shown, with the total receipts, makes interesting reading. The report shows that in twenty years the board has received 3,902,363 letters and has circulated in that time 143,502,402 periodicals, while the receipts and expenses for the past twenty years total $2,450,005.47. In addition to the great showing made by the institution, Secretary Boyd presented to the convention one of the most complete compilations of what has transpired during the year that could be got up. Drs. J. P. Robinson of Little Rock, Ark., and James D. Brooks of Alken, S. C., entertained the convention with a report of the doings of the home mission board for the year 1916, which has just closed. Dr. Robinson has been chairman of the home mission board for nineteen years. The Rev, Dr. Brooks made the principal report, which was received with marked attention, and the convention listened with interest to his review of real missionary operations. The secretary showed that $1,725.15 had been expended in the operation of his work during the past year and that in spite of handicaps the missionary spirit was ever uppermost in the minds of the people throughout the jurisdiction of the convention. CLUBWOMEN HEAR REPORTS. Federation at Wilmington, Del., Holda Enthusiastic Echo Meeting. The Women's federation of Wilmington, Del., recently held a largely attended echo meeting at the Shiloh Baptist church in Wilmington for the purpose of receiving reports from the delegates of the federation who attended the biennial meeting of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, held in Baltimore in August. Mrs. Blanche Stubbs, president of the city and state federations, delivered the introductory address. The chief speaker of the evening was Mrs. Victoria Clay Haley, newly elected organizer for the national association. The address was most timely and instructive, covering every phase of the work which the association hopes to develop through the various clubs during the next two years. Mrs. Haley is a most charming speaker. She is thoroughly alive to the interest of the organization and has entered upon the duties of her office with vigor and enthusiasm. Impressions of the Baltimore convention was the subject of an interesting discourse by Mrs. G. Rose, who enlightened the city federation on the doings of the Baltimore meeting. A prophecy was the theme of Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson's address, which abounded in similes and metaphorical expressions. Mrs. Nannie Jones' report was warmly received, as was also the greetings of Mrs. Ruth Bennett, president of the Pennsylvania state federation. Others who took part in the program were Mrs. Mary Wooden and Mrs. Carrie M. S. Pipes. BRIGHT FUTURE FOR GLASS. Success of Capable Young Pianist Wine Comment From Many Sources. Friends of Clyde Le Roy Glass, a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, are congratulating him on the success he is having in his chosen field. He is already regarded as one of the foremost young mer of the race as a pianist. At the recent reedal given by Mr. Glass at Indianapolis for the benefit of the building fund of the Young Women's Christian association he was assisted by Mrs. Lucretia Mitchell, soprano, who has spent several years in Europe in concert work, and her singing is always appreciated. The Home Trio, composed of Theodore Cable, Russell Smith and Frank Fowler Brown, also took part in the program. Each member of the trio enjoys a wide reputation for concert work. Mr. Cable was violinist in the Harvard university orchestra when a student there, being the only colored stu dent honored with membership in the organization. Mr Smith, pianist, has made a reputation as a composer, while Mr. Brown has been connected with several of the leading theatrical companies of our race and has perhaps sung in every large city in the United States.

PICTURES AS EDUCATORS. New Jersey Minister Gives Seven Reasons In Justification of His Interest In Photo Play Known as "The Colored American Winning His Suit" Kind to His Enemies. The Rev. W. S. Smith, D. D., pastor of the Monumental Baptist church of Jersey City, N. J., is one of the most active ministers in New Jersey in all good movements for the advancement of the race along all lines. He is well and favorably known throughout the state and has been pastor of the above named church for fourteen years. Dr Smith is the author of the photo play produced by the Douglass Film company, entitled "The Colored American Winning His Suit." The story was written in answer to "The Birth of a Nation." As the author of the play and for his activity in its promotion Dr. Smith has been criticised by some of his fellow ministers, who do not believe that a preacher should write moving picture stories or engage in their promotion as a business. Dr. Smith does not neglect any of his duties as pastor of the Monumental Baptist church for other vocations. He is naturally industrious and uses his spare time in study and thought for the good of the race; hence he bears the criticism of his fellow ministers in a generous, true Christian spirit. Having replied at length to his critics previously, Dr. Smith again says: "I shall once pore endeavor to clarify the visions of saints and sinners on the subject. I have for a good many years noticed that the motion picture was being abused rather than used and have long had a desire to see it used in the way most helpful to the public. About eighteen months ago the picture known as 'The Birth of a Nation' had its first appearance before the public. That picture does most severely criticise the Negro and his friends. "It has stirred up ill feeling and race riots in a great many cities. Much time and money have been spent to break it, but it still plays on. I conceived the idea that holding mass meetings, making big loud and loud speeches, rioting and throwing brief bats and overripe eggs all failed answers to the picture. My reason for the interest I have taken in moving pictures follows: "First.—Because I consider it to be a legitimate business that is closely attached to ministerial and educational work and an agency through which one may 'go about doing good.' I am only discussing 'The Colored American Winning His Suit.'" "Second.—Because through it we can answer 'The Birth of a Nation' and all similar pictures that seek to criticise and degrade the Negro race and its friends." "Third.—Because it is a medium through which one may speak to millions of people and plead the Negroes cause to the world at large as in no other way. "Fourth.—Because it is an instrument through which we can portray, the better side of Negro life, showing his progress from the depths of poverty and ignorance to the heights he has climbed in fifty years' time along all lines in religion, education, business and wealth. "Fifth.—Because pictures speak a universal language that is understood and read by all. "Sixth.—Because it can enter places and get a hearing where doors are closed against ministers and those who wish to plead our cause. "Seventh.—Because it is a God given agency, the greatest yet known to man, for the transmission of truth and knowledge along all educational lines. Through it one may look back through the ages. It brings all of the world to the door of the poor, enabling them to see and know things heretofore hidden from their view. "These are my reasons for writing the story and directing the making of the picture, and it is very gratifying to learn that wherever played the people have shown high appreciation for it. and it is being called for daily throughout the north, south, east and west." EQUAL RIGHTS CONGRESS. Churches Are Requested to Hold Special Services For Coming Meeting Star Services For Colling meeting. Boston.-The National Equal Rights Congress appeals to all the clergy and churches to observe Sunday, Oct. 1. as Equal Rights Sunday and then to have prayer and exhortation for the success of the National Colored Citizenship Rights Congress, to be held in the John Wesley Zion church. Washington, Oct. 4 and 5, and the annual meeting of the league Oct. 6. The league requests that a service or part of a service on Sunday. Oct. 1. be used to ask God's blessing in the race's effort for equality of legal and civil rights, the suppression of lynching and the annulment of segregation ordinances, which are nothing less than breeders of race strife. The various churches are also asked to send their pastor and a lay member as delegates to the congress. IN FIGHT FOR WILSON. National Colored Democratic League Working For President's Re-election. The National Colored Democratic league opened campaign headquarters in Chicago and New York city Sept. 1 and began an active and vigorous fight for the re-election of Wilson and Marshall.

P. Townes of the Knights of Pythias of Pennsylvania is taking time by the forelock in the matter of arrangements for the meeting of the state grand lodge and encampment of the uniform rank of the order for 1917. At the meeting called by the grand vice chancellor, held recently at Odd Fellows' hall in Pittsburgh, in which city the grand lodge will meet, fifteen lodges in Pittsburg and vicinity were included in the call. Plans are being mapped out for the entertainment of the Courts of Calanthe, delegates, visitors and a suitable place for the encampment of the uniform rank, which will number close on to 2,000. This latter phase of the arrangements is being looked after by Brigadier General John Childress and staff. The order in the state increases in numbers from year to year, and the fact that the grand lodge is to meet in Pittsburgh for the 1917 session has created much interest among the officials and members of the various lodges. The officials of the order in the state have set their standard high for every feature of entertainment of the grand lodge meeting and will leave nothing undone that might assist them in accomplishing their purpose. RACE PROGRESS AT DENVER Mrs. Stewart Emphasizes Our Home Ownership Before City Council. Home ownership among our people in Denver has reached a most encouraging mark. This fact was emphasized by Mrs. Jane Stewart at a recent hearing before the city council. Mrs. Stewart and other members of the race were protesting against the proposed segregation ordinance. In addressing the council Mrs. Stewart is reported as having said: "I hope you will not adopt this bill. There are only 5,000 Negroes in Denver, and 2,000 own their own homes. We are not a problem here, and we love our city and state. I beg of you not to destroy that love." Corrothers on Future of Dark Races. The Rev. S. L. Corrothers in an address before the race conference recently held at the Mount Carmel Baptist church in Washington made the following striking prediction: "The dark races of the world, with the colored race in America leading, will eventually take the lead in world movements along all lines if the white race does not stop the wild, nerve racking pace at which it is going."

The secretary showed that $1,725.15 had been expended in the operation of his work during the past year and that in spite of handicaps the missionary spirit was ever uppermost in the minds of the people throughout the jurisdiction of the convention. CLUBWOMEN HEAR REPORTS. Federation at Wilmington, Del., Holds Enthusiaic Echo Meeting. The Women's federation of Wilmington, Del., recently held a largely attended echo meeting at the Shiloh Baptist church in Wilmington for the purpose of receiving reports from the delegates of the federation who attended the biennial meeting of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, held in Baltimore in August. Mrs. Blanche Stubbs, president of the city and state federations, delivered the introductory address. The chief speaker of the evening was Mrs. Victoria Clay Haley, newly elected organizer for the national association. The address was most timely and instructive, covering every phase of the work which the association hopes to develop through the various clubs during the next two years. Mrs. Haley is a most charming speaker. She is thoroughly alive to the interest of the organization and has entered upon the duties of her office with vigor and enthusiasm. Impressions of the Baltimore convention was the subject of an interesting discourse by Mrs. G. Rose, who enlightened the city federation on the doings of the Baltimore meeting. A prophecy was the theme of Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson's address, which abounded in similes and metaphorical expressions. Mrs. Nannie Jones' report was warmly received, as was also the greetings of Mrs. Ruth Bennett, president of the Pennsylvania state federation. Others who took part in the program were Mrs. Mary Wooden and Mrs. Carrie M. S. Pipes. BRIGHT FUTURE FOR GLASS. Success of Capable Young Pianist Wine Comment From Many Sources. Friends of Clyde Le Roy Glass, a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, are congratulating him on the success he is having in his chosen field. He is already regarded as one of the foremost young mer of the race as a pianist. At the recent recital given by Mr. Glass at Indianapolis for the benefit of the building fund of the Young Women's Christian association he was assisted by Mrs. Lucretia Mitchell, soprano, who has spent several years in Europe in concert work, and her singing is always appreciated. The Home Trio, composed of Theodore Cable, Russell Smith and Frank Fowler Brown, also took part in the program. Each member of the trio enjoys a wide reputation for concert work. Mr. Cable was violinist in the Harvard university orchestra when a student there, being the only colored stu dent honored with membership in the organization. Mr. Smith, pianist, has made a reputation as a composer, while Mr. Brown has been connected with several of the leading theatrical companies of our race and has perhaps sung in every large city in the United States. Pennsylvania Masons May Build Homes The local lodges of the Masonic order in the Seventh Pennsylvania district have renewed their effort to perfect plans for the erection of a modern Masonic temple in Pittsburgh. Grand Master J. C. Morton has already taken the matter under a agreement with members of the fraternity AUTHOR OF FILM ANSWERS CRITICS Motive Was Race Defense, Says Dr. W. S. Smith. New Jersey Minister Gives Seven Reasons In Justification of His Interest In Photo Play Known as "The Colored American Winning His Suit." Kind to His Enemies. The Rev. W. S. Smith, D. D., pastor of the Monumental Baptist church of Jersey City, N. J., is one of the most active ministers in New Jersey in all good movements for the advancement of the race along all lines. He is well and favorably known throughout the state and has been pastor of the above named church for fourteen years. Dr Smith is the author of the photo play produced by the Douglas Film company, entitled "The Colored American Winning His Suit." The story was written in answer to "The Birth of a Nation." As the author of the play and for his activity in its promotion Dr. Smith has been criticised by some of his fellow ministers, who do not believe that a preacher should write moving picture stories or engage in their promotion as a business. Dr. Smith does not neglect any of his duties as pastor of the Monumental Baptist church for other vocations. He is naturally industrious and uses his spare time in study and thought for the good of the race; hence he bears the criticism of his fellow ministers in a generous, true Christian spirit. Having replied at length to his critics previously, Dr. Smith again says: its previously. Dr. Smith again says: "I shall once uppe endover to clarify the visions of saluts and sinners on the subject. I have for a good many years noticed that the motion picture was being abused rather than used and have long had a desire to see it used in the way most helpful to the public. About eighteen months ago the picture known as 'The Birth of a Nation' had its first appearance before the public. That picture does most severely criticise the Negro and his friends. "It has stirred up ill feeling and racists in a great many cities. Much time and money have been spent to break it, but it still plays on. I conceived the idea that holding mass meetings, making big, loud and loud speeches, rioting and throwing bricks and overripe eggs all failed answers to the picture. My reason for the interest I have taken in moving pictures follows: "First.—Because I consider it to be a legitimate business that is closely allied to ministerial and educational work and an agency through which one may 'go about doing good.' I am only discussing 'The Colored America Winning His Sult.'" "Second.—Because through it we can answer 'The Birth of a Nation' and all similar pictures that seek to criticise and degrade the Negro race and its friends." "Third.—Because it is a medium through which one may speak to millions of people and plead the Negroes cause to the world at large as in no other way." "Fourth.—Because it is an instrument through which we can portray the better side of Negro life, showing his progress from the depths of poverty and ignorance to the heights he has climbed in fifty years' time along all lines in religion, education, business and wealth." "Fifth.—Because pictures speak a universal language that is understood and read by all. "Sixth.—Because it can enter places and get a hearing where doors are closed against ministers and those who wish to plead our cause. "Seventh.—Because it is a God given agency, the greatest yet known to man, for the transmission of truth and knowledge along all educational lines. Through it one may look back through the ages. It brings all of the world to the door of the poor, enabling them to see and know things heretofore hidden from their view. "These are my reasons for writing the story and directing the making of the picture, and it is very gratifying to learn that wherever played the people have shown high appreciation for it. and it is being called for daily throughout the north, south, east and west." EQUAL RIGHTS CONGRESS. Churches Are Requested to Hold Special Services For Coming Meeting. Boston.-The National Equal Rights Congress appeals to all the clergy and churches to observe Sunday, Oct. 1. as Equal Rights Sunday and then to have prayer and exhortation for the success of the National Colored Citizenship Rights Congress, to be held in the John Wesley Zion church.

Townes of the Knights of Pythias of Pennsylvania is taking time by the forelock in the matter of arrangements for the meeting of the state grand lodge and encampment of the uniform rank of the order for 1917. At the meeting called by the grand vice chancellor, held recently at Odd Fellows' hall in Pittsburgh, in which city the grand lodge will meet, fifteen lodges in Pittsburgh and vicinity were included in the call. Plans are being mapped out for the entertainment of the Courts of Calanthe, delegates, visitors and a suitable place for the encampment of the uniform rank, which will number close on to 2,000. This latter phase of the arrangements is being looked after by Brigadier General John Childress and staff. The order in the state increases in numbers from year to year, and the fact that the grand lodge is to meet in Pittsburgh for the 1917 session has created much interest among the officials and members of the various lodges. The officials of the order in the state have set their standard high for every feature of entertainment of the grand lodge meeting and will leave nothing undone that might assist them in accomplishing their purpose. RACE PROGRESS AT DENVER. Mrs. Stewart Emphasizes Our Home Ownership Before City Council. Home ownership among our people in Denver has reached a most encouraging mark. This fact was emphasized by Mrs. Jane Stewart at a recent hearing before the city council. Mrs. Stewart and other members of the race were protesting against the proposed segregation ordinance. In addressing the council Mrs. Stewart is reported as having said: "I hope you will not adopt this bill. There are only 5,000 Negroes in Denver, and 2,000 own their own homes. We are not a problem here, and we love our city and state. I beg of you not to destroy that love." Corrothers on Future of Dark Races. The Rev. S. L. Corrothers in an address before the race conference recently held at the Mount Carmel Baptist church in Washington made the following striking prediction: "The dark races of the world, with the colored race in America leading, will eventually take the lead in world movements along all lines if the white race does not stop the wild, nerve racking pace at which it is going." Henry Lincoln Johnson Tours Indiana Henry Lincoln Johnson, former recorder of deeds at Washington, concluded a speaking tour of Indiana in the interest of the Republican candidate for the presidency at Muncie on Sept. 22, where he delivered the emancipation day address.

Miss Clarist Lucas, 506 Boston Block, is authorized to collect for ads and subscriptions for The Twin City Star. A It is very important that all sections of the country work together in arranging conditions that will better enable all races to live in mutual helpfulness and confidence; but it is still more important that the races work together for the attainment of this end. There must be cooperation between the health authorities and Negro leaders, such as physicians, minsters, and teachers. Negro doctors and nurses are increasing, many hospitals and nurse-training schools for Negroes are being founded, and all are being approved by many leading Southerners. Splendid assistance and cooperation have been given by white physicians and public health officers. Negroes themselves take great interest in solving health and sanitation problems, thus decreasing their mortality. Leaders are developing who take pride in directing their race in any endeavor, and watch all development with great interest. The race is amenable to teaching, instruction, and direction in the health and sanitation movement, and in a number of instances Negroes have cooperated with the whites in stamping out plagues and epidemics. The Negro should not only cease to be an actual menace to the white race by being a favorable bed for disease, but by proper teaching should become a valuable ally in stamping out diseases prevalent among both races Southern Workman. St. James A. M. E. Church will hold their meetings at 23rd St. and Bloomington Ave., till further notice. ADVERTISSE HERE - IT PAYS.

In speaking of the program of the "Thursday Musical" the musical center, whose membership includes many of the wealthy families; The Minneapolis Sunday Tribune pays a high compliment to a celebrated Negro soloist and composer, as follows: Henry T. Burleigh, who is to give a lecture recital under the auspices of the club on October 19, has been appearing in the large cities of the country hand has been making most favorable impressions. An idea of the beauty of his voice may be obtained from the knowledge that when he was a young man he competed with 60 applicants for the position of baritone soloist at St. George's church in New York and not only won the position, but has held it for 22 years. He has also been soloist at Temple Emanu-El for 17 years. During a tour of Europe as a concert baritone he received a good deal of praise for hsi gifts as a singer. In regard to his gifts as a composer, Walter Kramer has said of him: "This man is a composer by divine rights, and what is more, he is a thinker, a man who writes music not because he enjoys seeing his name on the program of some singer, but because he feels deeply, profoundly, in the language of tone. I have the firm conviction that H. T. Burleigh is contributing to American art song examples of creative music that deserve world-wide attention and respect." —Minneapolis Sunday Tribune. THE PARTY LABEL It is hardly necessary to state that the Negro vote will go to Mr. Hughes, because Negroes have been consistent Republicans. They cannot support Mr. Wilson, because of his "Segregation of Negro employees" and his catering to Southern sentiment, which is anti-Negro. But there are many good men in the Democratic party who are our friends. Some are in office and their record on Negro questions stands on par with their Republican colleagues. It is more a matter of sectionalism than partisanism. The Northern Democrat is often preferred to the Southern Republican. Notwithstanding that we want to increase our Republican strength in both branches of Congress; we should not follow the label and vote for a candidate, who is tagged as a Republican and repudiate a present office holder, tho a Democrat, who is on record as being for equal rights for all Americans. Dr. Cyrus Northrop, a supporter of Pres. Taft, said that "if Mr. Wilson proves to be a good president, he would support him for re-election." Dr. Northrup is for Mr. Hughes. We, as Negro voters, must put the character and record of the candidate above any party label. SEND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TRAINING LEADERS. How Dr. James E. Shepard Helps the Masses. As the work of the National Training school of Durham, N. C., increases in efficiency the more Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the institution, seems to feel the responsibility of making the school a more effective agency for uplifting the masses of our people. In order to reach the masses in the most direct and helpful way Dr. Shepard believes in thoroughly competent leaders in the various lines of business and the professions. Dr. Shepard has issued the following invitation, which is not only timely, but of far-reaching significance: "The National Training school extends a cordial greeting to the ministers of all denominations to be the guests of the school for one week, beginning Feb. 10, 1917, and closing Feb. 16, 1917, for the purpose of discussing the following kindred questions: "What is the moral condition of the people of your community? Is crime on the increase? If not, what is the cause of its reduction? "What is the attitude of your community, as far as you know, as to lynching? Have you ever attempted interracial co-operation along civic, moral and religious lines? Do the ministers of both races ever meet for conference? "What is the sanitary condition? What effort, if any, has been made to improve the sanitary condition? "Is the death rate increasing? "To what extent do you cooperate with civic improvement leagues? "Has settlement work been conducted to any extent in your community and with what results? "What has been the effect of temperance organizations, and have you co-operated with them? "To what extent has the work of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y.W. C. A. been effective in your community? Do you approve them? "What is the general attitude of the day school teacher toward the church and Sunday school? "What is the religious condition of our people? Revivals, how conducted? "The conference will be farreaching in its power for good. We earnestly desire your presence. "For any additional information address President James E. Shepard, Durham, N. C." Editorial Comments Mr. Hughes has made Mr. Wilson's policy of deciding a case and then getting the facts afterward one of the most pititable exhibitions of weakness that even the present administration can give. "Peace, preparedness and prosperity" are claimed as the Democratic campaign cries. More appropriate ones would be "Pie, pork and pifle." And now nobody seems to know exactly what the new wage law means or to whom it applies. Another illustration of Democratic inefficiency. The Democratic congress has voted a tariff on dyes, thereby declaring in favor of the principle of protection How the party does change its colors. If President Wilson were really earnest in telling the suffrage women "I come to fight for you" he would have put a suffrage measure through congress by the same stop watch method that he used to force the railway wage increase bill through. Shadow Lawn, as a residence for the next few weeks, will give its occupant an opportunity to get accustomed to the after election gloom. Here is reason enough why Mr. Wilson should be defeated. Why should Mr. Hughes be preferred? Gifford Pinchot, the Progressive, answers, giving facts to support his statement: "Hughes is a man of his word. I cannot vote for Wilson because I cannot trust him. He does not do what he says. Hughes does that before my choice is Hughes." When the Progressives come back they bring their puch with them. Villa says he bears us no grudge Well, why should he? Haven't we allways treated him as a perfect gentleman? What has become of the old fashioned man who used to say of President Wilson. "Ye-os, he does make mistakes but I believe he's sincere." And we haven't yet got either Francisco Villa or that salute. Next stop for the political express Nov. 7. Irvin S. Cob' is to make campaign speeches for the Democratic party in the west. Irv, you all recall, of course, is a humorist and is peculiarly equipped to do full justice to his subject. THE TWIN CITY STAR Cardinal Question In This Campaign Is Whether the People Want In the White House a Phrase Maker or a Man Who Backs Words With Deeds. Woodrow Wilson excels in the artistry of politics beyond the capacity of Charles Evans Hughes to compete. Were the current campaign a game of professional politics instead of a contest of character between two candidates for the highest office in the gift of the people Mr. Wilson would walk away with the prize next November. All his life he has made a study of form—first of literary form—and latterly of political form. In the first period he mastered a style peculiarly his own and peculiarly characteristic. The study of words and their multiplicity of meaning always fascinates him, so much that a Princeton classmate recently said of him, "Tommy has lived with words so long he thinks they are real things." Thence comes his collection of what Theodore Roosevelt's Maine guide calls "weasel words." That is—he can take a word and weasel it around and suck the meaning out of it like a weasel sucks an egg, until it don't mean anything at all, no matter what it sounds like it means." Thence came also the series of catch phrases, so fascinating in sound, so false in suggestion; so easy to read, so hard to understand. So it is that he is able to be on all sides of every public question while covering his circultous course with a flow of words that roll as easily from his pen as a brook through the meadow. It is his artfulness in the use of words that enables him to pose as "an amateur in politics" while playing the game with the skill of a professional. Whatever his inaptitude in other respects, he is easily first among presidents in the artistry of politics, and he would win next November were that the test. Compare the willness of Mr. Wilson with the straightforwardness of Mr. Hughes. Compare the smooth style of the one with the rugged diction of the other. The one is as complex in the use of words as the other is simple. It is a case of sonorousness versus strength. Mr. Hughes is depending upon the strategy of straightforwardness and the strength of sincerity; upon the force of facts instead of upon the fiction of a phrase, to win his case before the jury of the nation. His appeal is to the head and not the ear of the people; to their intelligence and not to their emotion; to their heroic side and not to their hysterical side. It is an appeal to the courage of the country and not to its cowardice. Mr. Hughes could not if he would perform in a year the political tricks that Mr. Wilson can do in a day. The question to day is whether the people want in the White House for the next four years a phrase maker or a history maker, a man of many sayings or a man who backs his words with deeds. There is a fundamental difference between the two candidates which marks the line of cleavage in this extraordinary campaign—"Hughes means what he says." LABOR VOTE NOT DELIVERABLE This Is the Outstanding Fact Which Political Philosophers Deduce From the Defeat in Maine of Representative McGillicuddy. From among the numerous lessons or conclusions which the political philosophers can draw from the Maine election one lesson or conclusion stands out more sharply defined than any other it jumps at you. The labor vote, for the sake of which the Poltroon Congress tarred and feathered itself with its own hands only a dozen days ago, is not deliverable by traders who pretended to sell it. This salient fact of the election is illustrated conspicuously in the Second Congress district. There are few places within the confines of our republic where labor is relatively stronger than in the city of Lewiston, the home city of Representative McGillicudy, and he has made a specialty of it in his own political practice. In the Second Maine, if anywhere, would there be indications of any return, in the shape of votes, for the surrender of Congress to the four Brotherhoods. After a campaign which might almost be called desperate in its effort to save McGillicuddy and one Democratic seat in the House from the Republican onset, Mr McGillicudy was defeated by an adverse plurality of nearly 40, whereas he had been elected to the Sixty-second Congress by a plurality of 1,389 and to the Sixty-third by 1,281. IDEALS OF THE SUCCESS OF THE PLAIN PEOPLE. "If I did not believe that the Republican party was the party of true progress, which was prepared under its leadership to take the country along the way of adaptation to new needs and exigencies of the future, I should have no pride in representing it. But the party of Lincoln is reunited today, and we consecrate it to the ideals of Lincoln, and those ideals are permanent. These are the ideals of the success of the plain people. They are the ideals of the achievements under free institutions, of success in all the activities of the co-operative energy of the plain people."—Charles E. Hughes in a Speech Delivered at Plattsburgh, N. V. ROOSEVELT LEADS, WE FOLLOW. We heartily accept the advice of America's greatest citizen, and will support the regular presidential nominee of the Republican National Convention, Hon. Chas. E. Hughes, and do what we can for the success of the Republican ticket. We are not in accord with the entire platform of the party. The suffrage question, as a State's Rights measure, will not give the Negro women of the South a right to vote. We are against any program giving a State a right to over-ride the Constitution. We had hoped to see some plank in its platform recommending legislation to make "Lynching a Federal Crime." We cannot get our constitutional rights under State Soverignity, and must rely on Federal legislation and enforcement for our protection. The Republican party has done more for us than any other party and we must overcome its evils with its good; still contending for right and protesting against wrong—believing in Divine Providence and thankful that Col. Roosevelt has accomplished his ultimate purpose, which was also his prophecy—that he would drive out of the Republican party, those who corrupted the principles of the party. We regret the loss of a friend, of our race on the Supreme Bench, by the resignation of Justice Hughes—which gave Pres. Wilson an opportunity to appoint a Democrat—and fate may decree that by his appointment we may have a Justice White or Justice Harlan. Though Democrats they were honest interpreters of the law and spirit of the Constitution. It is up to the Negro to be loyal to himself and the door of hope will soon open to him. We have awaited orders and willingly obey the requests of Col. Roosevelt, who led us into the Progressive Party in 1912, and we return to the Republican ranks under the same leadership and convictions. Let the slogan be "Hughes and Fairbanks must win" and now that the Progressives have accomplished their purpose, we expect a large following, and a return to the Grand Old Party, for its success in November next.
