state, be so applied as to make the
colored people more dependent and
subjects Of greater persecution than
we now have to endure. The laws for
the protection of humanity condemn
all schemes devised by the stronger
element of society to oppress the weak.
Therefore we protest against this pro-
posed amendment, which we believe
has for its intent to deprive the col
ored people of Maryland Of civil and
political liberty and to close the door
of hope against us as a race"
After stating that the colored people
of Maryland pay taxes on over $4,000
600 worth of real estate the address
concludes:

Of all natlonalities and party affilia-
lions in the state to consider our pro-

MILLION WOMEN IN LINE.
Great Work Of Miss Burroughs, Who
Knows How to Get Results

Miss Mamie Fl. Burroughs is one Of
the most forceful characters in Afro
American public life today, full OF
good works and almsdeeds. She is the
corresponding secretary of the wo-
mans convention auxiliary to the ma
tional Baptist convention at Louisville,
KY, and also secretary of the Doug
lass Improvement company. Eight
years ago she was elected to the for
mer position. Prior to this time futile
attempts had been made to get the
Baptist women Of the country togeth-
er. In eight short years Miss Bur-
roughs has welded into line quite
million women, and today the conven-
tion Of which she is corresponding Sec
retary is the largest Of Its kind on the
American continent. This woman has
learned that there Is great power in
organization, and then she has also
learned how to get results by making
people do things. IN discussing the
matter recently Miss Burroughs said:
During 1909 we must
Build $500 mission home at
Cape Tow n, South Africa.
Support Miss Jeanie G. Zomtunzi,
teacher at Middledrift, South Africa.
Keep two African girls in school
here.
Contribute to the education Of sew
eral African boys.
Contribute to the general work Of
the foreign mission board.
Build $4,000 training school for
women and girls.

themselves on such large scale. and
1t Is reasonable to believe that their
efforts will be encouraged by thou
sands Of people who believe in helping
those who first try to help them
selves.
The Douglass improvement com
pany, of which Miss Burroughs is sec
retary, is portraying in pictures and
calendars the higher life Of the race.
Hundreds of business men are TAX
ing to the idea, and the indications
are that the calendar business Of this
company next year will run high In
the thousands. Companies that bur-
lesque our race by making hideous pic
lures will find decrease In their busi-
ness If the Douglass Improvement
company keeps up Its high standard
All this constructive work that
means so much to the race is being
engineered by this young woman. She
has an international reputation as a
platform speaker.

Labor more earnestly for the moral,
intellectual and spiritual uplift Of wo-
men and girls throughout this coun-
try"
Perhaps the most stupendous of these
undertakings is that of building the
great training school at Washington.
Miss Burroughs urged her organiza-
tion to attempt this work, and it is
indeed gratifying to note that they
have nearly finished paying for six
acre tract Of land in the District of
Columbia and will begin building in
few months. This is the first time that
our women have attempted to help

More Trained Workers.

The report of the Philadelphia Do
mestic Training Institute For Young
Afro-Americans, at Philadelphia, re-
Gently made public, showed that for the
first six months Of Its existence 1S4
young men and women had secured
work In pleasant homes and with few
exceptions were giving satisfaction to
their employers. The demand for
trained help. says the report, Is In ex-
cess Of the supply. and many applica-
ions for trained workers have been
refused on that account. This institu-
ton Is in need Of funds to carry on
its work, but will not solicit outside
aid. Plans have been made for the
sale Of food prepared at the institute to

He'd been cutting puzzle pictures for
the children every week,
And at last he rose in frenzy and be-
gan to wildly speak:
please be careful when you trim
me; I'm a puzzle picture now
Then he slapped his palm with vigor
on his superheated brow
You will find complete instructions
at the side of the design,
But be sure that when you fold me,
fold me on the dotted line.
IF the dealer doesn't give me with
the paper that you buy
Tell him that he is robber and then
swat him in the eye.
Lay me on the dining table when the
breakfast hour is Ger
Or If baby wants TO watch Ii spread
me out upon the floor.
Note the letters and the figures where
the sections all combine.
And be sure that when you fold me,
fold me on the dotted line.
I'm a steamboat and an engine, and
a horse and wagon, too:
You will find that every Sunday l am
lways something new.
Please be careful when you're work
ing over me with happy haste
That you do not cut your fingers or
upset the pot of paste.
I'm a colored puzzle picture and l
think that it is fine,
But be sure that when you fold me,
fold me on the dotted line.
So we took him by the fingers and we
led him gently out
And we put him in wagon that was
waiting thereabout-
And we hauled him to the portal OF
the sanitarium
While he showed us how TO shape MIN
till he was a big bass drum.
The attendant nodded gravely when
he said: Mote my design.

fold me on the dotted line.'

THE VOLCANO.

Editor Advertiser Two years
ago it was my good fortune to
spend the best part of week at
the Volcano House, Hawaii. Just
before leaving put on record my
recollections of a prior visit, made
in April, 1867, as on that occasion
| only registered my name and
date Of visit.
Reading in this mornings Adj
vertiser Gune 9, 19o9) of "The
kilauea Observatory" my mind
naturally reverted to a suggestion
put forth in the record I left in
the Volcano House book of my
first visit to the Kilauea crater in
1867, and perhaps I may be par
doned for calling attention to it
on this occasion. Possibly the
record itself may be of interest, if
finding place in your columns,
and so, Mr.. Editor, I forward you
copy thereof, somewhat abbre-
waited:

cry one earnest, polite and exactly
correct as to Our mail.
The work of the postoffice has
increased wonderfully even in the
past three years.
We can see great progress and
poor Uncle Sam seems to be gain
ing in gold fast, on account of Ha-
waiian mail matter. In fact, Ha-
waii-nei seems to be of use to a
great number of people, not resi-
dent in the Territory. 1t is amaz

the first of August.

Subscribers to The Times
should file the August number on
account of Judge Hart's descrip-
ton of the Volcano.
Honolulu is now ablaze of glory
with it's Towering trees, the Poin-

Pride of India, the Golden Show

season, and the showers contin-
ually wash the leaves as the sun-
shine dries them off.

"Our present supply of Terri

we can secure the designs without

ponents of art to respond to the
encouragement at the hands of the
new Treasurer.

it will be.) Plenty of designs

They glance but minute only
at Mrs. Taylor's windows; "the
Japanese can do it BETTER" as to
flowers of course; and, they step
quickly on.
At the A. Y. c. they linger
longer and say, Sotto 1oce if we had
not loafed so much money off, we
might go in here and call for oys-
ter loaf and have big kow-kow;
but. as it is, we must be content
with Rice & Co., Ltd, and not
murmur a demur

fine pay (gain) these walters get

fine lay we should say.
And right here we part COM

Will J. Cooper is scooping in
the dimes and dollars for pine

Any unsightly brush heap in the

A well or a pump in the country
yard can be made most attractive
and it costs comparatively little to
shelter it with a rough frame to
outline a doomed pagoda. 1t is
not too late in some parts of the
country to erect place of this
kind and plant morning glories
around it, then one row of saliva
around the base.

Governor Albert 3. Cummins
was elected to the United States
senate by the legislature of Iowa
to succeed the late Senator Alli-
son. In his speech of acceptance

This somewhat personal
phase of the occasion would not
be complete without a word to

seven years without thanking
them most heartily for their pat

pleasure, | record a promise
which shall be sacredly kept
| will hold the welfare of my
country and my state high above
every consideration, and will fol
low truth and justice AS they ap-
pear to me, wherever they may
lead the way"
1t is noteworthy that all re-
publican statesmen who move
along reformed lines find it neces-
sary to lean very heavily on
democratic support. Not all Of
these, however, have made public
acknowledgement Of the debt
they owe to democrats.
