MINNESOTA THE TWIN CITY STAR MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY MEETING NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE Hampton Leaders Point Way to Economic Development. AID TO GOOD CITIZENSHIP Beneficent Work of Miss L. A. Jenkins and J. B. Pierce as Supervisors of Rural Public Schools in Virginia. Conservation of Food and Other Practical Necessities Taught. Two of the leading addresses at the recent Hampton institute community meeting on preparedness were delivered by Hampton graduates who are supervising important field work among the colored people of Virginia. Miss Lizzie A. Jenkins, district agent in charge of home demonstration work in Virginia, spoke on "The Negro Farmer's Family." She said in part: "Fifteen years ago Hampton institute sent one of her graduates to Gloucester county, Virginia, to supervise the industrial work in the public schools. A few years later, in 1907, the Jeanes fund began to furnish some aid, and four of the supervising industrial teachers were sent out to work in as many counties. This work has spread until now, instead of four teachers and four counties in the state, there are forty-nine workers in forty-eight counties. These workers began with giving sewing lessons, which was soon followed by cooking lessons. "Once upon a time it was taught that all colored girls and women knew how to cook instinctively, but it has been found that they have to be taught in the same palestaking way as do girls and women of other races. We have tried to teach them not so much fancy cooking, but how to make the most of what they have right around them. We also teach table setting waiting and table manners. "In the sewing classes we teach the girls to cut and make good, practical underwear, aprons, print or gingham dresses; to make over old garments, and after they have done their plain sewing well we let them have some fancy work, such as crocheting and embroidery. "Our workers, in co-operation with the Negro Organization society, have sought suitable homes, placed more than 800 indigent and delinquent colored children and watched over them to see that they have been, treated fairly, given a chance to go to school and to church and thus started on the way to becoming good citizens instead of becoming paupers or criminals. Some of these children have become our best club workers. I went into a Sunday school a few Sundays ago and found two of the boys ushers in the Sunday school." John B. Pierce, a Tuskegee-Hampton graduate, who is district agent in charge of Negro farm demonstration work in Virginia, gave a summary of the progress which is being made by Negro farmers in Virginia. He in part said: "In 1907 farm demonstration work began in Virginia under the supervision of Dr. Seaman A. Knapp, with one agent working in one county with about 300 farmers. Today there are eighteen agents working in twenty-two counties. According to the 1910 census, these twenty-two counties have 16,312 farmers, and I estimate that 10,000 of these farmers are now being influenced directly and indirectly to practice better farming and a higher standard of living. In 1916 864 meetings were held, with an attendance of about 35,000. "The average yield of corn when the work began was about fifteen bushels per acre. Last year it was thirty-three bushels in the territory worked. Some of the yields were as high as seventy-five and ninety bushels per acre. "One farmer in Isle of Wight county during 1915, following poor preparation of soil, cultivation of crop and using $105 worth of commercial fertilizer, produced only 540 bushels of corn on thirty acres. Last year he followed under the agent's direction good preparation of soil, cultivation of crop and used no commercial fertilizer and produced 780 bushels on thirty acres, a difference of 240 bushels plus $105 not spent for fertilizer. The land both years was of the same grade and fertility. "In 1907 most of the farmers relied upon their money crops, such as tobacco, peanuts and cotton, for supplying their food and feed. Today about 8,000 of these farmers are raising practically all of their home supplies, and a large number are giving more attention to truck crops, such as sweet and white potatoes, navy beans, cornfield beans, cowpeas, cabbages, turnips, watermelons, cantaloupes, pumpkins and even assisting their wives in having home gardens. There was good co operative work between the county agents and supervising industrial teachers in helping the farmers to grow and save food supplies. "In the beginning no work was undertaken for the boys. In 1016 284 boys grew corn, peanuts, potatoes, pigs, cowpeas and vegetables. In one county eight boys in corn averaged forty-three bushels, the highest yield being 52.9 bushels. Three boys in peanuts averaged 42.1 bushels. The corn yield was more than double that for the county. In some instances the success of the son has changed the father from poor to good methods of farming." EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE. Boston Branch of Militant Body Asks President to Stop Lynchings. President to Stop Eyeglasses Boston.—The executive committee of the Boston branch of the National Equal Rights league has sent to President Wilson the following letter with regard to the lynching of Ell Persons at Memphis, Teen., the latter part of May: "To the President, Woodrow Wilson, White House, Washington: "Associated Press reports the mutilation and burning alive of a colored man without a trial at Memphis, Tenn., and also that mob intends to burn two more. We call upon you as head of the federal government to make every effort to stay this further blot on the civilization and humanity of this Christian nation. Our laws forbid the burning alive of rats in a trap. We implore you, while saying much for justice and humanity for foreign nations, to speak out for justice to 12,000,000 colored American citizens and to stop stirring of resentments. America is rivaling Germany and Turkey in barbarie atrocities. Will you do something?" REV. LEALTAD WELCOMES FRIENDS. CELEBRATES 25 ANNIVERSARY. The Rev. Father Alfred H. Lealtad, Rector of St. Philip's Episcopal Church in St. Paul, and St. Thomas' Church, Minneapolis, observed (on Thursday, May 31st.) the 25th anniversary of his ordination as a Priest. He officiated at Holy Eucharist at St. Philip's Church, 9:00 A. M., in commemoration of the event, and many made personal sacrifices in order to attend the services and participate in a Holy Communion which was offered and accepted under the most sacred, sincere and sympathetic conditions. His short, address of thanksgiving and appreciation almost ended in tears. At 11 A. M. Mr. Norman Bradshaw entertained the Rector and his family and Mr. Ira S. Ashe, at breakfast. During the day messages of good cheer and hearty congratulations were received by phone or letter, and many took advantage of Reverend Lealtad's democratic disposition, to pay their visits as opportunity afforded; thus disregarding, to the pleasure of the Rector, the stated and informal "at home" hours—8 to 10 P. M. Shortly before 8:00 P. M. parishioners and friends began calling upon him and the Rectory was soon crowded with friends, who came and went continually, until after 10 o'clock. The usual "Anniversary Purse" was presented, besides other personal gifts. Mrs. George Bryant of St. Thomas Church led a large delegation from Minneapolis, and Mr. Bryant presented a purse in behalf of the Mission. Mrs. F. D. McCracken represented St. Philip's Sunday School; Mrs. J. H. Goins, the Sunday School Club; and Mrs. Lillian McKnight, whose effort is due the great ceremonial success of the occasion, represented St. Philip's Church and friends in the presentation of a large "pursue," making four "purses" in all, including one from Minneapolis. In welcoming his many friends Father Lealtad overflowed with joy and emotion, and for one day at least the Lincoln-like expression (caused by 25 years of struggle for humanity), left him, and was replaced by a care-free brow. Reverend Lealtad was Ordained in Chicago May 31, 1992 and since leaving St. Thomas' Church, that city, eleven years ago, he has had charge of the two Missions in the Twin Cities. The deceased Bishop, the Rt. Rev. David Edsall, was a very near and dear friend to Rev. Lealtad. Father Lealtad is held in high esteem throughout the Diocese as well as by all who recognize worth and integrity of citizenship. After refreshments and departure of guests, Rev. Lealtad ended, as he called it, a perfect day by spending a final hour with the point Vestrymen of the two Churches. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. JUNE 8 1917.

Supreme Court Issues Decree Restoring Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia to All of its Rights and Privileges. Washington, D. C., June 1. — The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, Mr. Justice McCoy presiding, handed down the decree, today, permanently restraining and rejoining the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E., A., A. & A. its officers, agents, attorneys and all others in its behalf from treating the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia as dissolved and from declaring or treating the lodges subordinate thereto and the members attached thereto as not entitled to all of the rights and privileges of members of the Order of the Knights of Pythias. It also permanently restrains and enjoins the Supreme Lodge from collecting or attempting to collect any unpaid portion of the taxes for which the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias was suspended and also from enforcing or attempting to enforce the proclamation of suspension issued by Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, at New Orleans, La., July 20th, 1912, and from revoking or attempting to revoke the charter of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia for any of the causes mentioned in the aforesaid proclamation. Under this decree, the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, of Virginia is restored to all of its rights and privileges in the Supreme Lodge and the illegal levy of the per capita or head tax upon the individual members by the Supreme Lodge under the old constitution, set aside. The decree concludes: "It is further ordered, adjudged and decreed that the plaintiff, (Grand Lodge K. of P. of Virginia) recover its costs of and from the defendants (Supreme Lodge) and have execution therefor as at law." The Knights of Pythias in Virgnia have been under suspension by the Supreme Chancellor for five years and had been subjected to humiliating treatment at the hands of the Supreme Lodge officials for that length of time. They had been denied the right to purchase supplies, cut off from official communications and denounced broadcast as expelled members of the Order of Knights of Pythias. Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., Supreme Representatives Thomas M. Crump, E. R. Jefferson, M. D. and William M. Reid made the fight in the United States Court with the aid of able counsel, which has resulted so favorably to Virginia interests. The Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia, was represented in the Supreme Court by Messrs. Smith and Gordon, J. F. Minor, Esq. of the firm making the argument and by Messrs. Wilson Huidekoper and Lesh, of Washington, D. C., Hon. Clarence R. Wilson and Attorney Paul E. Lesh, making the argument. Hon. Henry E. Davis and Attorney James A. Cobb, of Washington made the argument for the Supreme Lodge. With them was associated Attorney McCard, of Baltimore, Md. SMOKE "SIGHT DRAFT" THE BEST 5c. CIGAR GROWTH OF EXTENSION WORK AT ATLANTA UNIVERSITY How a Georgia Institution Is Meeting the City Amusement Problem. Atlanta, Ga.—Atlanta university is doing an important civic service in its college extension work by giving wholesome and uplifting amusement free of charge to the colored citizens of Atlanta. The undertaking in one respect is similar to the work done by Hull House in Chicago some years ago when it used the young Greeks of Chicago to present the ancient classical Greek dramas. To compensate for the lack of opportunity to see plays under conditions of self respect in the theaters of the city the teacher of expression gives plays of the best sort every year. On a perfect moonlight night "A Midsummer Night's Dream" was given out of doors. Nature has provided on the campus in a grove a perfect amphitheater, so that many of those who saw these young people so skillfully perform this play said they never want to see it indoors again. Recently near the close of a term's instruction the class presented "Hamlet," also free of charge. The chapel, the only auditorium the university has, was packed almost to suffocation with an eager audience that would have pleased the great master, William Shakespeare himself, if he could have looked into the faces of the audience, and we think he would not have been displeased with the acting. One who has seen the great actors give these plays is inclined to sigh at the temerity of young actors who would attempt tragedy, and the sigh is often justified. Nevertheless many an amateur has been quickened by such performances. In good music, too, Atlanta university is doing missionary work. Free recitals of oratorios and choral classes bring to these people an elevation of taste to offset the vulgarities of much of the popular music. At the recent commencement former President Horace Bumstead delivered the historical address covering the fifty years of the life of Atlanta university, the first Negro college established in Georgia, Dr. Washington Gladden of Cleveland, O., who once before preached the baccalaureate sermon, was one of the orators, and Professor Monroe Work of Tuskegee was another. PROMOTER AND PATRIOT. Leadership of Dr. James E. Shepard of the National Training School. By N. BARNEIT DODSON The patriotic response of the colored citizens to the nation's call to duty in the present crisis is a remarkable tribute to their loyalty and devotion to their native country. Groups of men who are engaged in educational work and business enterprises of various kinds have been active in giving instructions to their constituents as to how they may best serve their country and race. Among the stalwart leaders in such work is Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the National Training school, Durham, N.C. As far back as January Dr. Shepard took the initiative in calling the attention of our people to the necessity of making due preparation for any crisis which might come upon the nation or the race at a time of nation wide unrest and expectancy on account of the continuance of the European war and the great exodus of our people from the south. When it was seen that war with Germany was imminent Dr. Shepard immediately sent a telegram to President Wilson offering the use of the building and grounds of the National Training school as a recruiting station. When war was finally declared he began at once to show our men the importance of enlisting in defense of the nation. Again when it became apparent that there was not a sufficient number of colored men well versed enough in military tactics to become officers of regiments Dr. Shepard urged that young men of high school and college education (students) prepare themselves for holding rank as commissioned officers. He also studied the situation with a view of seeing that our men get a square deal in the matter of equipment and accommodation. Thus the head of the National Training school has not only proved himself to be an educator, but a safe and wise leader of his race in loyalty to the nation. That he has the support of bread minded white persons north and south in the work of the training school is a matter of supreme satisfaction. Organs were known before the time of Christ and were used in religious services early in the Christian era. The regular monthly meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will be held at Bethesda Baptist Church on Sunday evening, June 10th. Brown S. Smith, Pres. R.

BISHOP WALTERS' POLITICAL WORK WAS MAN OF LIBERAL VIEWS Conditions Which Caused Advocacy of Division of Colored Citizens—Vote Between the Two Leading Political Parties—Judge Hudspeth's High Estimation of Bishop Walters as Leader. By WILLIAM L. OFFORD, LL. B. The political history of the Negro in this country from the days preceding the reconstruction period to the present presents some very brilliant and noble characters, both laymen and churchmen, who severally attained various degrees of prominence as leaders. But it was for but few to attain national recognition and fame as did the late Bishop Alexander Walters. The bishop's education was received, with the exception of a year or so in THE LATE BISHOP WALTERS. the public schools of his town, under the private tutelage of some of the most brilliant and able teachers of the country, which training was supplemented by extensive travel in this country as well as the continents of Europe and Africa. The books of his fine library bear evidence that he was on the best of terms with them and that they were not merely ornaments. Bishop Walters was a keen observer of the change of the political status of the Negro in recent years and viewed with apprehension the gradual elimination of the Negro from politics both north and south, not only by the Democrats, but by the party of Lincoln and Grant. He saw that the Republican party was looking on with indifference while the Negro was being stripped of his constitutional privileges and immunities. Seeing these conditions, he took counsel of other men of the race, who also viewed with alarm the drift of affairs, and they held a consultation over the politically prostrate body of the Negro, and they decided that the malady from which he was suffering was an overgrowth of allegiance to the Republican party, and the only cure was a division of the black vote. This presented a hard problem, but the Negro, having been deserted by the party he had slavishly served, it was expedient that he form other friendly ties. At this time a friendly hand was extended by some right thinking Democrats, and the support of the colored voters was solicited. Bishop Walters at once became the leader of the colored Democrats of the country. The following letter from former Judge R. S. Hudspeth, national Democratic committeeman for New Jersey, to Mrs. Walters upon the death of the bishop shows the high esteem in which the late Bishop Walters was held by prominent and influential men of the Democratic party: Jersey City, N. J., Feb. 10, 1917. My Dear Mrs. Walters—I fully expected to have attended the bishop's funeral and pay my tribute of respect and affection for him, but official duties engaged me, and I was prevented. I was dreadfully shocked when I heard of his death, although I was not suspected that he suffered from promising little hope of recovery, yet I wished so earnestly for his return to health. The bishop was a splendid type of a man. His qualities of mind and heart endured him to all of those who had the privilege of knowing him, and I fortunately was one of them. He was human in his ideas and impulses. He was always leading for those needs, the leading of his life to secure favors for them, ready to make any personal sacrifice to obtain some benefit for the one in whose cause he was interested. In his religious faith he was as simple as a child, that simplicity which was nev- er disturbed by doubt or lack of faith. It was a pleasure and inspiration for me to listen to him talk, as I always left him with the feeling that I had been benefited by his words and the sincerity of his faith, not only in his Maker, but in his fellow men. The world would be very ill if he offered him like a bishop. Your race lost a great leader and an inspiring figure when he died. I feel sure that next to the love of his God was his love for his people and that his highest purpose in life was to secure for them the place and recognition in social life which he believed they were fitted to occupy. I want to express to you and your family my sincere sympathy in this hour, your great bereavement. I am, very sincerely yours. P. 8. H. UDSHEPTH. P. 8.

Withers, whose wife sued for divorce, in his swill-barrel publication. and headlines per crap players and b This is a brief of I is the yegg-man of and the kind of San monkey of himself Ex-editor Phil. Hale, of 931 Spring street northeast, tells a good joke about a man often in service to Hon. Walter Newton, our county attorney, to testify in behalf of the state concerning some parties who were raided a few weeks ago on Sixth avenue north. This fellow, who represents nobody but himself, and is a constant knocker, has a great deal to say about Rev. Withers concerning things which he doesn't know anything about. But Hon. Judge Dickinson became so disgusted with him that he drove him off the witness stand, so says Brother Phil Hale.—The Weekly Advocate. The foregoing article appeared in The Weakly Advocate last week—and it is another one of the ex-convict editor Montgomery's attempts to defend Rev. Withers and the notorious Mattie Davis, convicted of keeping a house of illfame; also to condemn Editor Smith. Mr. Phil Hale, ex-editor of the Advocate (because he found out what Montgomery was doing) has publicly denied any authority for this statement. The Star published the Davis case, and the Editor was called to support his written opinion of the Davis place, by the state and excused by the Judge because he had never been in the house. Detective Brunskill was not allowed to testify for the same reason. Co. Atty, Walter Newton brands this statement as false and Judge Dickinson, whose charge to the jury taken by Editor Smith appeared in the Star, has this matter before him. He does not care to be misrepresented and the public knows that he is not to be trifled with. He knows Montgomery. This Montgomery is one of the lowest types of Negroes. He is a real "nigger." There are business houses where he cannot enter because he has not dealt fairly with them. He is the advocate of everything which demoralizes his race. When he located here about a year ago, he solicited funds for Bethesda Baptist Church and Rev. Beasley says "that he has some damaging evidence on him." He served time in prison for collecting money to build a Catholic Church. He is fortunate in being a personal friend of Atty. W. R. Morris, who knows his game. Montgomery has resided at many places since here and few of them respectable. He is thoroughly familiar with the buffet-flats and cannot deny that he was associated with women of the underworld. He leaves a record in Milwaukee and here is the clipping from a bulletin of the Minneapolis Civic and Commerce Assn. R. B. MONTGOMERY. Working apparently in partnership with Butler is another colored man giving the name of R. B. Montgomery and claiming to be a trustee of the Autuaq Industrial School, although he was unable to tell us the name of either the president or treasurer. If he can be located we shall be glad to co-operate with any one in helping to restrict his activity. The method of operation of these two men seems to be as follows: One of them sends out a letter asking for the renewal of "your bi-ennial subscription to our work of educations and missions", designating the amount supposed to have been previously given. If nothing is heard from this, the other one calls and announces that he has come to collect the amount promised the other man. The busy business man who is asked to respond to almost countless appeals during the year frequently thinks hat he perhaps did promise the money and hands it over. This record of Montgomery was published after he attended the A. M. E. Conference at St. Peter's Church. The Dr. Butler referred to was a former pastor of St. James A. M. E. Church. He was ordered out of town on his last arrival, but Montgomery claims to have reformed and got a foothold with the Wets in the County Option fight. During one of his trips to this city, he posed as a preacher and sought the pastorage of Bethesda Baptist Church, when Withers was deposed. If Editor Smith represents nobody but himself, his paper The Twin City Star has always defended the Negro citizens. It is the paid official organ of The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and The Minneapolis Sunday Forum. He is the executive commiteeeman of The National Negro Press Assn, and is an active member of the Minnesota Editorial Association. Minneapolis was without a Negro paper when the Star was first issued. It owes every respect to Editor Adams of the St. Paul Appeal our venerable contemporary. We do not always agree, but never quarrel. The Advocate is needed here. It is a garbage can of printed gossip and headlines personalists of women crap players and buffet-flat keepers. This is a brief of Montgomery. He is the yegg-man of Negro journalism and the kind of Sambo that makes a monkey of himself before white people and for such we have suffered. We have copy to show that The Advocate came to put the Star out of business and the Montgomery has had everybody whom he could con in-working for "the real Negro paper" as he calls it, he has not yet bought a Ford, and the Star is existing under honest practices. The records of the County Auditor show that the affidavit filed by Montgomery for The Advocate was a lie, and he received state moneys by his sworn statement for publishing "proposed laws. Owing to the rapid increase in our population (many being respected citizens from the Southland); The Star is forced to defend itself against misrepresentation and its Editor has never been accused of being a coward. This cringing darky has found it useless to tell the representative white business men about us. He has begged, borrowed and stolen to that extent that he is regarded as a nuisance, even by the lowest element. He can scarcely read and can't write enough to take notes. A trial will convince you. As we go to press we mention a meeting of the "cullud" press on the fourth floor of the St. Paul Courthouse, and Montgomery may tell his readers about it, and Editor Smith tell the Judge. This ends the Montgomery controversy. We will hereafter deal with him personally. ADVERTISE HERE, IT PAYS.

THE NEW YORK TIMES Never Hold a Party-Line Telephone Over Five Minutes When two or more telephone users are on a party line, each is entitled to equal service. The telephone company would save work if party lines were used by one party for long periods. That, however, would be unfair to the others on the line. It is not a kind act to compel your neighbor on the party line to wait more than five minutes unless your conversation is very important.

C, F. Pope, Who Knows How to Get Resulte—Better Schools Would Check Migration. By GEORGE F. KING. Burgaw, N, O.—During these days of unrest and the pronounced tendency of thousands of Afro-Americans in the south to migrate north, many of our educators in the south are manfully showing the educational needs of the masses of the race. They are contend- ing that the educational facilities for the race must be made better if the schools are to be effective agencies for ractal development. If there is not a substantial effort on the part of the state to give the colored people their Just apportionment of the educational funds the industrious and progressive men and women will mi- grate to sections where their children will have better educational advantages. ‘The situation reveals how well intelli- gent, honest and progressive men and women can serve the race, especially in the rural sections of the south, where the masses are in need of a loyal leadership. ‘The Pender county commencement of the colored schools, which was recently held here, showed that the influence of the Burgaw Normal and Industrial school has effectively brought about such results that the relationship and co-operation between the races are bet- ter. There is a tendency on the part of the educational officials to give their Afro-American patrons better school fa- cilities and thus Improve the conditions. As an evidence of these facts during this school term, the schools among our people had an efficient supervisor for the county in the person of Mrs, 8. F. Smith, who did splendid work. She has shown what we can accomplish If given a fair chance, There were about 1,200 children in the parade on the commencement day, and the exhibits, literary contests and enthusiastic demonstration on the part of over 2,000 farmers and thelr fami ‘Hes from every section of the county ‘showed the result of helpful and tutel Ugent lendership. Following this event were the closing exercises of the Bur. gaw Normal and Industrial school, Again a wholesome demonstration war made and registered the untiring zeal and efforts of the better element of the race to go forward, ‘The man who ts Inrgely responsible for this constructive work in eastern North Carolina ts the Rev. ©. F. Pope, who fs unassuming, intelligent and strikingly forceful in the activities which bave resulted in procuring a Progressive supervisor for the rural schools, New impetus has been given to the Home Makers’ Club workers, a movement to teach mothers and girls how to mako good homes, ‘The Rev. ©. F. Pope ts a native of this state and was reared in Hertford county. After graduating from Waters Normal institute, Winton, N, C., he en- tered the college and theological de- Partments of Shaw university. After graduating from this university he taught two years at Waters Normal in- stitute and later speclalized at Chicago university. He taught theology at Shaw university for eleven years. In 1916 he accepted the principalship of the Burgaw Normal and Industrial school, which has greatly increased in influence and efficiency the past year. Besides his efforts to secure the neces. sary funds for a new dormitory, which 1s of pressing need, the Rev. Mr, Pope hopes to have a member of the race appointed as a school demonstration agent. Among bis activities will be the conduct of a summer school for teachers and a farmers’ conference.

TRAINING CAMP FOR NEGROES, ‘The Adutant General's Office, stat!’ Departments of the Army gives en n ves a brief outline ‘of the provisions made for training camps for colored citizens. “1. You are advised that training camps or colored citizens will be estab- lished at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, under Section 64, "National Defense “Act, ‘and regulations for training camps, except ae modified here- In and hereafter. The ‘camp is_under the control of the Department Comman- der, ‘Central’ Department, "who will pre: Pare and conduct the same. The Attendance will be twelve hundred fifty, of ‘whom two hundred fifty will be non- commissioned officers of colored reg- iments of the Regular Army, to be sent on detached service status, and. ‘one thousand citizens either eniisted under Section 64, National Defense Act for three months beginning June 18th, with agreement to accept appointment’ tend- ered, or members National Guard whose status will be as in the case of National Guardsmen now In training camps. 2. The contingents of citizens and Na- tonal Guardsmen from the various de- partments ts. as. follows: Northwestern Department 40, Eastern Department 240, Southeastern ‘Department 430, Central Department 195, Southern Department 75 plus contingent’ from ‘Twenty-fourth In- fantry 84 and Tenth Cavalry 67, Western Department 20. 3._As far as consistent with the char- acter of applicants, it is desired that men. selected shall’ be not less than 30 years of age. “Local distribution as be- tween various States and cities and be- tween citizens and National Guardsmon im left to the discretion of Department Commanders. From all applicants De- partment Commanders will select thelr contingent so that definite notice to proceed to the training camps may be Riven the selected men not. inter than June sth. “The training camps will be ready to recelve the noncommissioned of ficera of the Regular Army June Sth, and all others June sth... ‘The, course of In- struction beging June 18th.” In addition tothe contingents men- tioned above, $4 men ‘will be sent. from the Twenty-fitth Infantry in‘Hawail and 25 men from the Ninth Cavalry in the Philippines. Applications should be addressed to the Commanding Generals of Depart- ments as follows: Northeastern Depart ment, Boston, Mass,, Eastern” Depart- ment, Governors Island, N. ¥., South- eastern Department, Charleston, 8.

Atlanta, Ga, May 28—A Commit- tee of Rehabilitation has been de- signated by the Mayor of Atlanta, with the advice of the Chamber of Commerce to synchronize all the ele- ments that center into the restora- tion of the burned area and those homes and business enterprises that suffered loss in the recent fire. The Committee is composed of the following persons, all prominent in the business development of Atlanta, and several of much more than local fame: Mr. Edw. H. Inman, Mr. Rock- well Johnson, Mr. Isaac Schoen, Judge Walter Colquitt, Mr. Carlos H. Mason, Mr. Harry H. Pace, Rev. E. H, Oliver and Mr, A. F. Herndon. The three latter are Negroes, The Minister's position is self-explanatory. Mr. Herndon is owner of one of the largest and best equipped barber shops in America, is the dominant factor in the Atlanta Mutual Insur- ance Company, and resides in a home quite in keeping with his station. Mr. Pace is the distinctive character upon this Committee. He is young, virile and the Negro prototype of the mod- ern business executive. His capabil- ities are best explained by the fact that at the age of 33, he is Secretary- Treasurer of the Standard Life In- surance Company, a $125,000.00 Legal Reserve Life Insurance Company that has on its books Fife Million Dollars worth of business, and that has met every legal requirement and examina- tion with books and records in such ‘shape as to receive commendation from even antagonistic sources. _ It is a distinct novelty in the South for Negro interests to be recog- nized in community matters by the active participation of bona fide busi- ness men in the deliberations of con- | sequential bodies. Occasionally in politics and relig- ion some sort of Negro adjunct com- mittees have been tolerated, but here we find a case of absolute and direct interchange of ideas, and it may be said that the exodus has not failed to become a prime factor in the Com mittee’s consideration, Rehabilitating seven hundred white and eight hundred Negro families of every social and industrial type is no mean job for even those eight high- minded and experienced men, and our race throughout the country may feel certain that race interests will be cared for with aggressiveness temp- ered by a proper sense of justice and business diplomacy. This will repre- sent a lot of work to already busy men but the establishment of this precedent and its satisfactory fulfill- ment is of immeasureable value to the race.

Snelling Training Camp. Negroes are being killed and driven out of East St. Louis, because they came from the South to earn an honest living. Negroes have no rights under Lynch Law, and America calls herself a free country. Our sympathies are with the people of Atlanta, Ga., who are suffering from a recent calamity. Lynchings and calamities seem to go hand in hand. Peculiar co-incidents; but God's ways are mysterious. MANNING'S VIEWS ON THE EXODUS FROM THE SOUTH Southern White Man Says Denial of Justice Is Responsible. The colored people are leaving the south by the thousand, more want to leave, and more are going to leave, says the Hon. Joseph C. Manning, a former member of the Alabama legislature, in a letter to the New York Sun. It is more than a wish to better their economic condition that is causing this departure of Negroes from the south. It is more a sort of quiet revolution against the oppression and repression to which southern Negroes have been subjected for many years. The spirit of revolution has manifested itself in simply leaving the south. Of course the demand for labor in the north opened the door of opportunity, but the restiveness of the Negro in the far southern states was such that the point was reached where, for better or for worse, the desire to get away had taken strong hold. The disfranchisement laws more than anything else have created the feeling of unrest and discontent on the part of the southern colored people. Their relegation to the status of a subject citizen, the denial to him of civic justice, has been a too bitter pill to swallow in mere submission. The uneven chance in litigation in the courts, the oppression of the illiterate and helpless Negro by and through the processes in the petty courts—these and other minor persecutions play a part in creating the determined movement to get out of the south and go where there is more of a square deal for the average man. Lynchning has something to do with adding to the feeling that has brought about this exodus; but, strange as it may seem, the terror of lynching does not go so far in deeply moving the southern Negro as does the loss of his rights as a citizen. A Negro minister who was recently in Georgia, Florida, Alabama and other southern states is authority for the statement that leading Negro ministers and many leading Negroes indorse the movement to get away from the south, advising their congregations that it means protection under the law, the right of citizenship, better educational advantages for their children and freedom from the increasing wrongs of the south. This subject of the coming north of southern Negroes was discussed at a weekly meeting of Baptist ministers in New York city, and as a leading minister who had been south told of the wholesale departure of southern Negroes for the north, crying out to "let them come." there was a chorus of "Amen." These people coming up from the south to the states of the north and west will soon be voters, and their leaders in this section are keeping this in mind. Never before has there been such a united movement on the part of the ministers of the north among the colored people in the matter of urging Negro voters to qualify for voting "You want to help those left down there in the south by voting up here," is the way the ministers in the north are putting their appeals. EDITORS WHO ARE IN BAI WITH·MODERN WESTERN SOCIETY. The Advocate knows from experience when an editor in this Western country speaks out against those things which are degrading and demoralizing to the industrial, social and political status of our people, he at once "gets in bad." This is the condition of the editors of the Oakland Sunshine and the San Francisco Outlook. What the Outlook says: "We believe it is the duty of the press to be outspoken, regardless of whom it hits. Some people have an idea that because they subscribe for a race paper they have bought the editor's opinions, and that he should tolerate anything they do regardless of the fact that their acts are against public morals and a menace to the race. With a submissive and cowardly press and a ministry blind to vice and immorality, the race would be in a deplorable condition. The work of good men and women must be supported, and the "good timer" who defies public opinion must be made to feel the lash of scorn and ostracized from the community. The remedy is drastic, but the disease is worse." It is probable that before summer is gone Minnesota will be "bone dry." The Negro will then learn that the man in overalls gets the best pay, best rest and best living, and is the best man, physically, morally and financially. We need such men and conditions are making them very rapidly. DANNY SHAY PLEADS NOT GUILTY TO CHARGE Indianapolis, June 5.—Danny Shay, former manager of the Milwaukee American association baseball club, who shot and killed a Negro waiter at English's café on the Brewers last appearance inthis city, was arraigned in criminal court before Judge Collins yesterday on a charge of second degree murder. He waived preliminary examination and formally entered a plea of not guilty to the charge. Judge Collins did not set a date for the trial, but it is understood it will be early next month or carried over until the September session of the court. Shay is held without bond and it is through the self defense plea that the attorneys for Shay hope to win his freedom at the trial. The Negroes have secured a leading white attorney to assist the prosecution. Clarence Ewell bore an excellent reputation and the hotel management regarded him as one of their most reliable men. He had been an employee of the hotel for several years and was liked be everybody connected with the house for his politeness, skill as a waiter, and his constant and untiring efforts to give satisfactory service to the guests and contribute in every possible way to their comfort. Ewell left a'wife and two children. Shay is a former member of the New York National League team. Miss Essie Mason is assisting Miss Maley, the Mayor's Secretary. She is one of the most efficient stenographers of our race. Negroes registered like good Americans. Enough said. NEGRO PRESS IS ACTIVE Millions of black men are watching national legislation and regulation. The recognized press of the race is doing its duty. There are a few slackers, but the vanguard is on the firing line fighting for their rights. Article 1, of the Amendments to the U. S. Constitution is a sacred safeguard for all loyal citizens. The free exercises of religion, speech, press or peaceable assembly and petitions for redress of grievances constitute the fundamentals of this great Republic, and are intended to give all men equality before the law. The Negro press stands for love of country and duty to their race. Whenever duty calls, they will not falter. If the Negroes were so void of manhood as to forget the injustice of the present administration against them, they would not be possessed of that loyalty to the American Flag which they have defended with honor in all of this Nation's conflicts and always respected in times of peace. This is the only home of the American Negro and he will defend it, tho denied his rights. PITY THE CHILDREN Pity the poor children of many families. It is hard for many a hard working parent to support a family. Under the high cost of living these innocent sufferers are denied the necessities of life. We have a Belgium within our borders.

"If person is of African descent, tear off this corner." This statement appears on a lower corner of the U.S. registration card for selective draft service. Why such special consideration should be given persons of African descent, is causing much comment. Negroes should not worry. If this is to deny them the privilege of war service, they must await the inevitable under a policy of watchful waiting." Such discrimination will prove a boomerang to the Southern wing of the Administration. If the Negroes are drafted for the farm, they cannot avoid service and will make the best of it. It is probable that they may be called later for war service, and will have a greater share and honor in their Country's defense than those who planned to deny them that right. There are more than 20 million persons of African descent within the confines of the United States and its Insular possessions. They are willing to "do their bit," but are not wanted now. While party politics is being played and proven patriots like Roosevelt must fight for a chance to serve their Country; it is more than foolish to expect that a Democratic administration will regard the rights of black men. Negroes should be consolled with the knowledge that "There is a Divinity that shapes our ends," and it will come to pass that the stone which the builders rejected has become the keystone of the arch. Remember the words of Harriet Tubman, the Negro abolutionist, to Frederick Douglass; "God is not dead." Dr. Chas. S. Morris arose from the floor at the Memorial Day services in the St. Paul Auditorium and registered a strong protest against the injustices of the American people to the Negro. He paid the race a glowing tribute and concluded his remarks amid prolonged applause. The South in the Saddle. The farm enlistment project of the Southerners is another victory for them. The bloody battle of the Civil War was caused by Southern supremacy, because of free labor. They may now regain their "lost cause" a hundred fold by Federal labor. Are we drafting for the National peonage of black men? Human nature gives answer, and today the voice of the South is the voice of the Nation. Writing Their Own History. The dailies, which have published an extensive account of the Memphis lynching, have shown to the world the savagery of our citizens of the supposed superior race in that locality. It is a sad commentary on the white man's civilization and adds another blot of shame on another page of American history. He, who demands his rights, guaranteed him under our constitution, is not a traitor. The Negro cannot be expected to rally to the country's call today as he did to Lincoln and McKinley; but he is ever ready. He cannot be aroused by martial music, brilliant uniforms, patriotic addresses or pecuniary promises. Should the American people grant him equal rights as other Americans, he will then forgive their wrongs he has suffered. As it is, he is calm and deliberate. He will enter this war for his second emancipation. Tho he serves no human master, he is the slave of Race-hatred, Discrimination and that prejudiced Americanism—the Southern propaganda of the present administration. He is denied the right to enlist in many branches of his Nation's defensive service. He is awarded special honors, i. e. "held in reserve," for breast works. But he must fight to save his Country—that he might enjoy Liberty in its fullest sense. He must fight—that posterity shall awake in a new Americanism. This is our fight, if America needs us, and we shall not be called until needed. "KNOCKING ME." Oftimes a person fails, regardless of the assistance received and, when the true cause of their failure is told; they resort to that old alibi, "He's knocking me." Such persons wear their own labels and investigation will show their inefficiency. Do not pretend to deliver, if you haven't the required goods. Initiative is desirable, but ability is necessary. Egotism, suspicion and fear of competition are some of the causes of the failure of those who elect themselves as Organizers. Self-denial, faith in coworkers, co-operation and gratitude are essentials for success. The Weakly Advocate, our competitor, deserves every consideration.

WARNING TO STRANGERS. Newoomers Should Heed Advice of National Urban League. New York.-In keeping with its progressive policy of thoroughness in every detail of its work for the protection of our people who continue to migrate from the south, the headquarters of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People, at 2303 Seventh avenue, New York, has sent out some excellent advice and warning. The league says to all who contemplate going north or west: Be sure you are in communication with responsible people in the north or elsewhere before leaving home. You should know exactly where you are going and carry warm clothing with you, even during the summer. You are likely to get confused and lost in the great crowds at the plers and railroad stations in the large cities. If you are planning to come north you should have some trustworthy person meet you. You might have your pastor advise you. Bear in mind that you will receive many free offers of help from crooks, thieves, labor agents and other exploiters. Accept none of these, but ask any policeman or travelers' aid worker at the railroad station or steamboat dock to direct you to an office of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes or to one of its branches listed below. This organization has branches in many of the large cities and does practical work in helping colored people who have reached the north or west. League offices are located at: New York, 2303 Seventh avenue (One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street); Detroit, Mich., 297 St. Antone street; Brooklyn, N. Y., 102 Court street; Chicago, 8719 State street; Pittsburgh, Pa., Associated Charities, 535 Fulton building; Philadelphia, Armstrong association, 810 Brown Bros.' building, and Philadelphia Association For Protection of Colored Women, 1506 Catherine street; Newark, N.

New York.-The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes has just completed an investigation of the record of school children in Harlem, New York city, afflicted with heart disease. This investigation, made with the approval of the acting superintendent of public schools, was made by Miss Naomi B. Spencer and covered all schools in the district, including private and parochial schools in which colored children are part of the school population. The purpose of the investigation was to find out how nearly perfect the records are kept and to ascertain whether these children are actually being referred to heart disease specialists for relief or cure. The name of every child whose case had been diagnosed as heart disease has been referred to the heart disease clinic of the Harlem hospital, which for children is open on Saturday mornings and in which any child whose parents are not able to provide expert care may receive treatment. The class for adults is held on Thursday evening. Miss Spencer visited seventeen schools and found a total in eleven schools where the records were seen of 267 cardiacs or children afflicted with heart disease. Of this number sixty-six were colored. The investigator noted the general health of the children and recorded the following conditions among the children affected: Nasal breathing, defective vision, defective teeth, hypertrophied tonsils and malnutrition. Because of the attendant disorders, the committee on heart disease of the Urban league and Dr. Frederic Brush and Miss M. L. Woughter of the Association For the Prevention and Relief of Heart Disease thought that the colored people of New York city should know the danger of such conditions in their children, these defects probably being the forerunner of heart disease in childhood and adult life. In addition to the work of the cardiac clinic of the Harlem hospital for persons afflicted with heart disease, the Urban league and the social service department of the Harlem hospital have entered into an agreement by which employment may be found for cardiac cases less destructive to the health of the patient. For instance, care will be taken to give no cardiac work requiring him to climb stairs or to perform other laborious tasks which produce fatigue. During health week, recently conducted, Dr. Robert Halsey, heart disease specialist at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, addressed the members of the Manhattan Medical association at a banquet, the subject being "The Prevention and Relief of Heart Disease." Lynching Record in the United States. The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People shows the negligence of officers of the law who fail to carry out their sworn duty in protecting persons charged with crime from mob violence. Under the heading "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness," on our own side of the border, among the colored citizens, the association shows that for the past thirty years there have been an average of ninety-two colored persons lynched or hanged without the semblance of a trial to prove their innocence or guilt. The great man expects everything of himself; the small man expects everything of others. P. J. Buford, W. W. Humphrey, Not the biggest but the best. Our prices as low as the rest.

Minneapolis is growing fast and there is a demand for Negro labor, but no attention is paid to their housing. They are forced to live in the jungle district, because they cannot rent in the desirable localities. This is a matter for the health and civic authorities, but nothing will be done unless there is an epidemic. Then somebody will find it necessary to give Negroes chance to live in sanitary apartments, instead of being forced congregate in dumps and hovels, cause of prejudiced real owners.
