A GOOD

The Pythian lodges of the city held
their annual celebration Sunday, In
order that the comfort of the people
might be added to, the lodges were
divided, one-half going to one church
and One-half to another. The ar
rangement was a timely one. The
people were more conveniently accom-
modated, and hundreds who would
otherwise have been unable to attend
visited one of the two churches and
enjoyed the services. A feature of the
celebration that was noticeable was

DR.. HAMMOND At LEXINGTON.

DR.. Hammonds reception by the
Lexington Conference at Indianapo-
lis last week was a great ovation.
He spoke to packed audiences on
Aggressive Evangelism" Thursday
and Saturday. His Conference adj
dress in the interest of Walden Uni
versity was one of his best and car
ried the conference. The Doctor is a
great favorite with the Y. M. C. A. of
Indianapolis. His address before the
Monster Meeting for men on the
subject of "The Winner" was i'm.
mensely helpful. He addressed the
Ethical Culture Club and won many
new friends.
Simpson Chapel was literally packed
on Sunday night to hear the closing
address of DR., Hammond. The Doc
tor was invited by the Corresponding
Secretary of the General Conference
Board of Conference Claimants to
hold the anniversary of the Board at
the Lexington Conference. His sub
ject, HOur Conference Veterans" was
superbly discussed, and gave general
satisfaction.
Among the social features Of the
Conference week was the "Bouffet
Luncheon" given by Mrs. Weber and
her niece, Miss Carrie Miller, at
their beautiful, home. 1t was in hon.
or Of DR.. E. w. S. Hammond, Dean
Of Braden Theological School at
Nashville, Tenn, who is a guest at
their home while attending the ses-
sions of the conference, The affair
was in the nature Of a home coming
as the Doctor had been a resident Of
indianapolis for several years
Friends to the number of at least
forty partook of the welcoming. One
of the enjoyable features of this So
cial was the splendid literary and mu-
steal programme by Mrs. ]. T. Hill,
Misses Katie Frances and Mary
Fields, Miss Carrie Miller with Mes
danes Lillian Fox, and Navvie C.
Lewis. Toasts were given by Messrs.
Jones, Furniss, Stokes Mrs. Ha-
good, Sissel and Ziegler. DR.. Ham
mond responded in his usual felici-
tous way.
The Doctor has several engage
ments to preach sermons for lodges
and societies. Among these are the
sermons at Gallatin, Tenn, and that
which will take place at Saint Paul
A. M. %. Church on Easter Sunday.

COMM ANNEXATION.
Other Problems and Burdens


To the Nashville Globe:
Rudyard Kipling's famous poem,
"The White Mans Burden" which
created such a stir at the time of its
publication and which was interpret
ed as showing the white mans mag
nanimity toward helping other and
weaker people. In this country it
was often quoted as referring to the
Negro people as being the white
mans burden. But in the light of
recent events in different sections of
the country with regard to racial
friction \, and aantagonism between
white Americans and white foreign
ers, it appears that a larger con
struction will have to be placed upon
or a more comprehensive i~nterpreta-
ton made of "The white mans bur.
den"
The rioting in Nebraska some
time ago against foreigners and the
trouble now on in Indiana between
American and Hungarian miners, are
straws which point to larger trou.
bles in the future, and it will not be
trouble between whites and Negroes,
either.
Yes, the white man will have some
other problems and burdens to solve
and bear save the much-talked-of one
the Negro problem and burden.
One thing that is certain is that
the unrestricted influx of foreign
immigration of the undesirable sort
from every country in Europe is des-
tined in time to give the foreign ell
ements political as well as numeri
cal supremacy, and when that. time
comes, what will become of Govern.
ment established by Washington anC
the men of his day and preserved by
Lincoln and the men of his time
This may seem a far-fetched thought
yet it is possible and probable, and
therein is danger.

THE INDEX.

Last Sunday morning a leading d.
vine of the city mentioned in his ser.
mon a conversation he had recently
with a white man. The speaker said
that this white gentleman predicted
a very radical change in the attitude
of his race toward the Negro before
many generations; that as soon as all
of the old people, the e~x-slaves, were
out of the way conditions would
change in a marked degree. Just what
the gentleman had in mind when he
made this statement was not clearly
brought out. However the inference
might serve well as an index to the
requirements the young Negro will
be compelled to measure up to. The
fact that the opportunity to learn the
fundamental principles in commercial
affairs has been denied him will count
for naught, His road will be rugged
and his friends few. No one, not even
those of his own race, will be found
to extend to him the hand of sympa-
thy, but it will be the survival of
the f%ittest." This is probably what
was meant by the gentleman referred
to above, and it seems to be the true
situation, Every indication points in
that direction.
The Negro has contended for years
that all he wants, is an equal chance
in the world. The question is, Can
he get what he contends for, and if
he cannot will he falter or will he
take an unequal chance and make a
fight for an existence against odds.
His predecessors have had that to do,
and their record is one that they need
not be ashamed of. The all-absorb-
ing question seems to be, viii his an
cestry be able to build on the founda-
ton that he has laid! are the young
men holding their own?
The lines of competition are being
drawn tighter every day in all parts
of the country, This is an age of COM
bining interests in every line of bust
ness. The men of means are pooling
and segregating their interests to
economic and thereby increase the
profit on their investments. Laws reg
ulating and 1egalizing these combines
are being passed from time to time,
all of which tends to put the opportu-
mites to do business further and fur
Their from the man of small means.
With these facts standing out pre-em-
inently before the ambitious young
Negro man he must decide for himself
what position he will take. Whether
he will Quell his ambition or resolve
to contend for a position in the ranks
of those who dare to conduct
the commercial affairs of the ma
ton. Being the New Negro and
among a new people his determination
should be to take his place in the

the parting from the custom estab-
lished in years past of making these
occasions a thanksgiving day. But it
seems special efforts were put forth
to collect money to swell the lodge
treasures. This ought not to be. 1t
appears that the societies are impos-
ing upon the churches. At one of the
sermons Sunday the committees were
so long winding up their financial af-
fairs that the audience dispersed in
discrlthinately and when tie pastor
pronounced the benediction there were
not over one hundred people in the
church of probably a congregation Of
a thousand. 1t appears that the good
aimed to be derived from these an.
nual gatherings is being lost Sight Of.

on the Griffith Park road and thought
to be the murderer of Annie Poltera,

did not readily explain. He admitted
also that he had been IN the hills for
several days. He was Immediately
locked up.
Examination Of the body at the in

had left two circular marks on her
body, similar to the crosses marked
upon his victims by ",jack the Rip

STEAMER M0NG0LIAN

ST. JOHNS, n. T., May 21.-The
Allan line steamer Mongolian early to-
day freed herself from the ice pack at
the entrance to St Johns harbor, in
which she had been imprisoned for two
days. The heavy easterly swell which
set in last night broke up the ice pack
and enabled the Mongolian to shake
herself free.
All night there was constant com
motion in the great field, the big borgs
twisting and turning, while tho pres
sure on the steamer was greater than
ever before.
Dawn revealed open wafer within
few miles of the steamer. A little later
