Brooklyn. Few men have labored
more faithfully and struggled against
greater odds to maintain the good
namc Of the order and to increase its
membership in all departments than
has Mr.. Crawley since his appointment
to the Brooklyn field. Knowing Mr..
Crawley's deep interest in the work
and his adaptability as leader in
extensive movements, the grand mas

Brilliant Record Of James n. Crawley,

the supervision Of the Brooklyn divi-
sion, so that on Staten Island, at Baby
Ion, Roslyn and Bayshore, N. Y,
splendid work has been accomplished.
Mr.. Crawley is ably assisted in the
work by his amiable wife, Mrs. S. A.
Crawley, who is the division secretary
and also president of the Rosebud
work Of the division, which has in.
creased in membership from five bene-
fitted children in 1903 to about 300 in
April, 1909. In the Rosebud, or juve-
nile, department the children are care
fully trained by competent instructors
how to conduct their meetings, trans
act their own business, and especially
are they taught the value of a penny
and the necessity Of unity and loyalty
to the order and to their race. In
1908 the Rosebud department contrib
uted $1,000 toward the maintenance
Of the old folks home of the order,
which is located at Westham farm,
about seven miles from Richmond, Va.
Besides Chief Crawley's arduous du-
ties In looking after the work Of the
True Reformers, he is an active church
worker and deacon in the Bethany
Baptist church. The division recently
celebrated its fifteenth annual reunion
with two nights public reception,
which was held at the hall one night
and at the Fleet Street Memorial A.

Since the last annual report to the
grand fountain one more senior foun-
tain and three Rosebuds have been
organized. The division is composed
Of twenty fountains Ninety-six senior
fountain policies, III Rosebud policies
and five class policies have been is
sued. There are 102 members In the
class department In Brooklyn. The
chief has the best interest Of the men,
bers, as well as the work, at heart.
This he makes manifest In the careful
manner in which he labors with them
to keep them on the books of their
fountain and in the classes.
The hall, which is under his personal
supervision, is kept neat and clean,
well heated and lighted as the sea-
sons demand. In the community he
is well thought Of and relied upon to
do what he says and do it in busi-
ness way. He is hard worker and
one Of the best trained men in the en-
ploy Of the grand fountain.

mer slaveholding state. And it was
not forgotten that Mr.. Henderson had
with equal zeal and equal foresight
been among the earliest to propose the
thirteenth amendment.
Mr.. Henderson's proposition, now
submitted and referred to the Judi.
ciary committee, was In these words:
"No state shall deny or abridge the
right Of its citizens to vote or hold Of
fee on account of race. color or previ.
GUS condition"
1t was reported from the judiciary
committee by Mr.. Stewart Of Nevada,
with an amendment proposing another
form Of tatement-namely, "The right
Of citizens of the United States to vote
and hold Office shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or any
state on account Of race, color or pre-
vious condition Of servitude."
During the debate on the question
Mr.. Hendricks Of Indiana reproached
the Republican party by forcing this
question upon congress when in the
platform of principles upon which they
appealed for popular support they had
distinctly waived 1t and when the leg
islature to which it must 60 for ratif1-
cation had been elected without the
slightest reference to 1t in the popular
mind. In order to prevent what might
seem to be an unfair submission Of the
amendment Mr.. Dixon Of Connecticut
proposed that it should be referred to
conventions in the respective states
instead of to the legislatures and thus
give to the people in the election of
members of the conventions full op-
portunity to pass upon the merits Of
the question.
1t was contended, on the other hand,
by Republican senators that no sub
ject had been more fully matured in
the popular mind than this had been
by the discussion which had taken
place since the beginning and especial
" since the close of the war. But
this was not candid or truthful
statement Of the case, as had been
abundantly shown by the action Of
the national Republican convention.
Only a few of the leaders of the party
had openly announced themselves In
favor of Negro suffrage in the nation;
a few were openly hostile, while the
great majority Of the prominent mem
bers feared it and refrained from
open expression in regard to it. The
mass Of the party, as is usual on ques-
tions of this character, had made their
own conclusions, and their earnestness
Of conviction finally forced If it did
not persuade the reluctant chiefs to
adopt it.
The house of representatives had
been considering the question Of the
suffrage amendment at equal step with
the senate. On Jan. II Mr. Boutwell,
Of Massachusetts,. from the committee
on the judiciary, proposed an amend
ment to the constitution in these
words: 'The right Of any citizen Of
the United States to vote shall not be
denied or abridged by the United
States or any state by reason Of the
race, color or previous condition Of
slavery of any citizen or class Of citi-
gems of the United States. The con-
gress shall have power to enforce by
proper legislation the provisions Of
