AWARDED BY SENATOR JONES leigh's Rise From Obscurity to National Prominence In the Musical World—Rich Trophy Is Donated Annually by Dr. J. E. Spingarn. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Washington, May 16. — The third Spingarn medal was awarded here last night to Henry Thacker Burleigh of New York, the distinguished composer of songs, at a meeting in the First Congregational church, held under the auspices of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People. Moorfield Storey of Boston, the national president of the association, presided. The presentation was made by Hon. Wesley L. Jones, United States senator from Washington. The Spingarn medal is awarded annually to the man or woman of African descent and of American citizenship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor, the candidate being chosen by a committee of award, which includes Bishop John Hurst-of Baltimore, Hon. William Howard Taft, John Hope, president of Morehouse college, Atlanta; Dr. James H. Dillard, director of the Slater and Jeanes funds, and Oswald Garrison Villard of the New York Evening Post. The committee's choice is not limited to any one field, whether that be intellectual, spiritual, physical, scientific, commercial, educational or any other. So the winning of the Spingarn medal has come to be the greatest distinction which can be conferred upon an American Negro. The medal is of gold, of the value of $100, and is donated by Dr. Joel E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People and formerly professor of comparative literature in Columbia university, who is at present in training for his major's commission at Madison barracks, New York. Henry Thacker Burleigh, the winner of the medal for 1917, is a composer whose songs have for two or three seasons past been sung by a list of prominent singers which would make any composer's mouth water, from John McCormack to Kitty Cheatham. One song, "Deep River," has probably appeared on concert programs during the past season more times than the work of any other contemporaneous composer. And across the ocean Burleigh's "The Young Warrior," with words by the Negro poet James Weldon Johnson, translated into Italian and orchestrated by the great Zandonal, has become a sort of patriotic anthem of the present war. Mr. Burleigh's compositions include about 100 songs, a few festival anthems for church chorus and a volume ble Preacher and a Sub stantial Property Owner. plied in an effort to save them from falling into oblivion. The small group of songs by which he is best known include "Deep River," "The Gray Wolf," to words by Arthur Symons; a super setting of Walt Whitman's "Ethiopia Saluting the Colors," "The Soldier" and "Jean." "The Five Songs of Laurence Hope,'" writes a critic in the Boston Transcript of March 10, "probably represent Mr. Burleigh's best work. Here are haunting melodies, accompaniments rich in detail, yet not overwritten, striking bits of delineation and much skill in the wedding of music to words." Regarding "The Soldier," A. Walter Kramer in *Muckets America* wrote: "The literary and musical boundaries present European conflict is no exception. * * * But I think that this Burleigh setting of Rupert Brooke's inspired lines will be among the important art products of the great war when the record is made." These creative achievements have necessarily been snatched from a life of routine musical toil, by which Mr. Burleigh has earned his daily bread. Since 1894 he has been baritone soloist in St. George's church, one of New York's old and aristocratic congregations, and for seventeen years he has sung at the Temple Emanu-El as well. These achievements become doubly significant when one realizes how Mr. Burleigh has worked his way forward almost without aid, handicapped by color as well as poverty. It is related how Mr. Burleigh as a boy in Erie, Pa., contracted pneumonia from standing in the snow outside the drawing room window of Mrs. Elizabeth Russell, where his family was in service, in order to hear Rafael Joseffy play, and was given a chance to open the door for the guests when later Teresa Carrino played at the Russell home in consequence. Working at Erie, Pa., as a stenographer until he was twenty-six, in 1802 he came to New York and out of 500 applicants was given a scholarship in the National Conservatory of Music, where he studied for four years. By teaching singing during his last year there, together with assisting the secretary, the mother of the well known American composer, E. A. MacDowell, he was able to liquidate his indebtedness to the founder of the institution. During one summer Mr. Burleigh worked at a hotel in Saratoga in order to make enough to carry him through until the following Christmas. But when, in 1894, the young musician, standing upon the threshold of his career, secured the position of solist at St. George's, in competition with sixty other applicants, his path became much easier. His talent for interpretation of his own folksongs soon became widely known, and he was in demand to sing in concerts and in the musical programs of the leading mansions of fashionable New York and elsewhere. The achievements last year which won Mr. Burleigh the Spingarn medal are but the mature fruitage of a long life of consecrated labor. This is the third year the medal has been awarded. The first was presented to Dr. E. E. Just of Howard university for original researches in biology, Governor Whitman making the presentation in New York. In 1916 the governor of Massachusetts presented the second medal in Boston to Lieutenant Colonel Charles Young of the Tenth cavalry, United States army, for his services in reorganizing the constabulary of Liberia, West Africa. FOURTH of JULY Milwaukee Pleasure Promoters' GRAND BOAT EXCURSION FROM FT. DESMOINES, IOWA (Special to The Blade.) From V. C. Turner. HEALTH HINTS By A. J. Booker, M. D., in THE BYSTANDER. The great military camp is started officially and the men are down to work in deadearnest. One of the most momentous epochs in the history of the Negro race was enacted when twelve hundred and fifty men took the oath of allegiance Sunday. It was more than men declaring that they were willing to fight and die to preserve intact the glory and honor of the United States—any citizen of this country who would not take such an oath ought with the greatest speed take a train or boat to the country he is willing to die for—it meant that the cream of the Negro race was selected and stood there with one purpose. It was worth the longest journey to see over a thousand Negro men of training and culture assembled, to say nothing of the unity of purpose. The men themselves ought to feel proud to be participants in such a momentous affair. Every man who held up his hand was making history. Surely every man's "heart with rapture thrills" when he thinks of his part, both now and the future possibilities. A great new trial has come to us. Those who pray ought to send up a silent prayer twice or three times a day for those men at Fort Des Moines. All our hope is in their success. All our dan has not happened at the history of our people before. It is wonderful, it is grand, it is trying, because it is a nerve racking procedure for the men who have been selected. They need our encouragement, our moral support and the blood of a race is on the hands of any person who puts temptation in the way of a weak man. Every man, woman and child who can spend railroad fare ought to visit this camp. It will be an inspiration for children, a restoration of faith to men, a tonic for the patient faithful Negro woman, who is the greatest creature who treads American soil. There is not a man, with whom I have talked, but feels the solemnity of the occasion. The light comes into their eyes as they talk and seem to look down corridors of time, seeing the avenues open for bigger things. No race of people can measure up to the standard of world values unless there has been hearty participation with every one in everything for development. We can never be the followers of a Napoleon unless we bear arms and develop military ideas through generations; we will never develop a Gladstone or a Beaconfield until we can lift our voices in matters of state. Consequently the entire race must be behind this history making crowd. We are under everlasting obligations to the men who made this movement possible. We see history makers in our midst. For no matter how the proposition turns out, the history of the country will make a record of the camp. It is a most fortunate thing that the camp came to a midwestern town, for there is nothing so provincial as a town in the middle west, and nothing more unfortunate can befall a Negro than to be "the biggest man" in a small community, unless he has a broad spirit and teaches people that he is one of a very large number of men scattered through the country. The people of the other race are doing a vast amount of good by seeing that the men whom they have touted as "exceptional Negroes" are only small potatoes and that the race has thousands of men who not only have had opportunities, but are filled with the proper spirit. Come to Des Moines and see the men; get a new breadth of vision, carry back home inspiration to live up to your full measure of citizenship. Have the satisfaction of having seen a thousand and a half of men who are grand, but only reflect the other thousands back home, the possibility of being one of whom will help your boy or your girl to work hard and raise the local standard. Honor the men, pray for them, come to see them and behave yourself about them and remember that there is a difference between officers of the army and to represent the government. They must learn a little different method of dealing with people; they may still be democratic but must never be common. CALVARY BAPIST CHURCH MILWAUKEE, WIS. A SUCCESSFUL RALLY. $574.72 CAPTAIN MRS. JAS. DUNGEY IN LEAD. One of the most successful rallies in the history of the Cream City among our people was pulled off. Sunday, when the members and friends of Calvary under the leadership of that financier Rev. Samuel Russell raised $574.76. There was perfect, harmony among the members throughout the effort and the marshalling of the forces by the Pastor is to be commented on all sides. The following Captains raised the following amounts: Mrs. Dungey—$121.28; Mrs. Minnie Prevatt—$75.73; Miss Luna Scott—$72.40; Wm. Williams—$43.85; Rev S. Russell, Tag Day—$258.64. Total $574.72.

DREAMING "I like to sit within the glow Of some warm fireside, where to know I hold Love close to my heart, And thus to dream with you a part. And all the scenes where fancy lures, Among the embers with me as your's. And love the guest of every day; And like to sit and dream that way." BLADELETS Don't straddle. "Fear no man's censure." A foul mouth is an index of a foul mind. Has anyone hereabouts ever seen a colored juror? No man by nature a gentleman ever forgets to render to woman her due. Man's inhumanity to man does not compare with woman's inhumanity to woman. More suffering has been caused by idle gossip than by all the wars of history. In society men are seldom hampered by an unsavory reputation. With women it is different. Why? Ask society. "Marry in haste and repent in leisure" is an old saying. They now marry in Waukegan and repent in Milwaukee. As you complain of conditions that beset you, labor to make them better. The cause is sometimes in ourselves. When you take our purse you take that which we might again replace; but when you rob us of our good name you take that which no power can again restore. The girl or woman who permits a strange man, however polite he may be, to become her friend without the formality of an introduction, takes a foolish chance and is courting trouble. Kaiser Wilhelm himself would be more welcome in the Navy, the Marine Corps or National Guard than any American of African descent. Can you explain it?

Dayton St. NOT ALL UNFRIENDLY Because of the many injustices we have suffered at the hands of white men we are apt to fall into the habit of damning the entire race. This should not be. All white people are no more to be classed together on questions affecting us, than are all colored people at all times to be classed together. This is demonstrated in many ways, by the attitude of individuals toward us in civil, religious, industrial and social life. If it were not for this difference in them life for us would certainly be intolerable. It is true that they are not as outspoken in our behalf as our enemies are against us. This may be attributed to many causes. That we ourselves are not as outspoken as we should be perhaps tends to stamp the ardor of those who would espouse our cause. Some are of the opinion that they will do more harm to our cause by agitation than by helping us to advance ourselves. That they will be ostracised by their associates and branded as "Negro Loy AN ENDORSEMENT. It is always pleasant to see our sentiments endorsed by others; but when that endorsement comes unsolicited and without our fore-knowledge from a substantial source, it is immensely more gratifying. In our issue of May 17th 1917, under the heading "MARKED CARDS," we paid our respects to the policy of the government that would sanction the recognition of race or color in the proposed draft. For this we here accused of being too sensitive. Eleven days thereafter, or to be more correct, May 28th, the Boston Journal, a daily newspaper published at Boston, Massachusetts, since the year 1833, had the following to say editorially on the same subject. We give it verbatim without further comment: The dearest promise in the whole of the Constitution of the United States is the promise of equality for all, regardless of race color or previous condition of servitude. But it is not always pleasant for a Negro to read that promise. Nor will the Negro feel a thrill of promise when he comes to write down his name for service to his country. For the registration card makes a distinction of color. The man who puts his name to that piece of pasteboard signifies that his life is at the disposal of this government in war. That should be enough. But no—the government asks that he shall specify his "color." Literally, this government is beginning with MARKED CARDS. We don't need to review the fine record of the African race in fighting the battles of America. Its men have been in the front rank wherever there came an opportunity to serve. History vouches for that. And here, when we come to fight for democracy, we find distinctions drawn according to the color of a man's skin. Negroes have not fared well during the present national administration. They have disappeared from public offices, and the Jim Crow grip of the South has grown firmer. And now a Jim Crow registration. If we were to define democracy as applied to the army of a democratic nation, we should picture men of all races and all erceeds grouped together in equality. A white millionaire's son might share a tent with a Negro and a Chinese. But "color!" Race, color and previous condition of servitude apparently are to be recognized in our army of democracy. Blunder No. 1. But it must be wiped out. If an aristocratic snobbishness has drawn up the registration blanks, a democratic decency must later deny the distinction. Else we make a joke of our highest boast. Send in or telephone your news to company or if you intend to take a trip let your friends know it through the columns of our paper. BEST OF BARGAINS IN MEN AND BOYS' SHOES AT TIEDMAN'S 516 E. WILSON ST. ers," their family being made to suffer thereby, has made many men hesitate to speak out in behalf. We must remember that it requires a lot of moral courage to take the unpopular side of any question. Many of us keep our mouths closed when we find ourselves alone supporting that we believe to be right. So they are not to be so much condemned if they fail to speak when they should, so long as they do nothing positive against us. And another thing, we must learn to encourage those who show a disposition to treat us as men, we must cease to entertain prejudice against white people because they are white. You know what we mean. Some of them have shown themselves absolutely free from all prejudices of color or race only to find us entertaining it in its most virulent form. It is not consistent and gives aid and encouragement to our enemies. Do unto the other fellow just as you want him to do unto you. To the Editor, Wisconsin Weekly Blade, Madison, Wis. Dear Sir: I have before now been a subscriber to colored papers, but not always to my satisfaction. Too often I have found them but a means of satisfying the personal ends of those who conduct them and with neither policy or principle on public questions. Of the Wisconsin Blade I have been an occasional reader since its first issue, and I am glad to say have always found it true to principle. Its editorial page has improved steadily in both quality and quantity until it now compares most favorably with any weekly in the state. You are to be commended for your efforts and to be encouraged to continue in the future as in the past. To aid in the good work you will find my personal check for $1.50, a years subscription. SCISSORED THOUGHTS Reports from large employers of labor as to the efficiency of the new men from the south are very flattering, much to the surprise of the calamity howlers. A chance to make good is all we have ever asked for—we'll do the rest. Chicago Defender. When the press begins to fan the flames of hatred, race prejudice and the like, the next to follow is mob violence. One can not overestimate the power of the "pen" for good or for evil. If the great and able editors who wield the pens for the big metropolitan dailies were all men of heart as well as brain, lynchings and burnings in this country woud soon be a thing of the past.—The (Austin) Herald. The recent riots at East St. Louis, the refusal of white men to work beside a negro, the failure to procure justice for his cause in the North that enfranchised him and in the South that gave him birth, all these facts amply demonstrate that the Afro-American is indeed between the devil and the deep sea. Economic conditions, the shortage of white workmen, due to enlistments and dratt, have made vaeancies in the labor market, that have perforce to be filled. The negro, driven frantic by the race hatred and Jim Crow laws of the South, has left the districts where these most prevail—to find himself in like, or in some insances worse plight in the North. Milwaukee Daily News. For the present, we should apply for positions as citizens of the United States and we should not recognize the racial designations made for us by prejudiced white folks and short sighted colored ones. Under the Constitution of the United States, race and color is not recognized. Some day and somehow we shall secure all of our rights 'and privileges, but they will not come to us by eringing or by the recognition of racial conditions, which have been the disgrace to the Republic and source of ridicule abroad of the government, of which we form a part.—Richmond Planet.

The number of colored people reported to have left the south since the beginning of 1917 is said to be 500,000. Those who are in a position to know frankly admit that this rapid transfer of so many members of the race in so short a time has a remarkably peculiar political significance. The young intelligent colored man knows that he is entitled to the ballot. He also knows that the south has no legal right to prevent him from casting his ballot for whomsoever he wishes, like other citizens; hence he is following the line of least resistance in transferring his residence to sections where the law is respected and where the law and not the lynching mob rules. HAMPTON HONORS CELE. Dramatic Club Presents "Oedipus at Colonus" For South African's Benefit. Hampton institute does not teach Greek as a language, but through the Sophoclean Dramatic club, a student organization, its workers and students see, once a year, a careful and artistic presentation of some fine Greek plays. For the benefit of Madikane Q. Cele (a Hampton graduate) and his work in South Africa the Sophoclean club recently played "Oedipus at Colonus," translation by Sir George Young—the last play written by Sophocles, but the second of the three dealing with Oedipus and his family, the first being "Oedipus the King" and the last "Antigone," which was presented last year. A history of the play follows: Odipus, for many years a wise and honored king of Thebes, found out late in life that instead of being the son of the king of Corinth, as he had always supposed, he was really the son of the king of Thebes, Lalus, whom he had killed in self defense many years before and whose name he had never known. This and other laws broken in innocence so affected his mind that, in despair and self reproach, he put out his own eyes and allowed his kingdom to pass into the hands of his two young sons, Polynices and Eteocles, and their mother's brother, Creon, who acted as their regent or council. To gain their own selfish ends both Creon and the sons made the old king's life so unhappy that he was at last forced to leave his native city and wander in other lands. The two daughters were loyal to their father, Antigone the elder, sharing his wanderings as his guide and Ismene remaining at home to guard her father's interests. Through an oracle of Apollo the rulers and people of Thebes learned that the welfare of their city was to depend henceforth upon the presence either in life or death of their deposed king. To gain this blessing of the gods and at the same time to continue their own plans they decided to bring back the wanderer and imprison him just outside the city walls, where they could control him while he lived and calm the blessing promised to the city that should hold his grave.
