The Cantata, Ruth" by A. R. Gaul,
which will be rendered at Meharry
Auditorium on May 9Th, promises to
be quite an excellent entertainment.
Miss M. E. Braden, who for many
years has been at the head of the
music department Of Walden Univer-
sity. and whose father, Rev. John Bra
den, was the founder of the school,
deserves much credit for her untir-
ing zeal in trying to carry on the
work begun by her father.
Miss Braden is at the head of a
movement for a new dormitory for
Walden. She is making strenuous eff
forts to raise funds for this purpose,
as this is a building that the college
is in much need of, and the alumni
and friends of the school are doing
all in their power to help her.

Mr.. John White, manager of the
Standard Giants and Mr.. Serk Smith
manager of the Nashville Collegians,
are both out with their teams each
evening and are taking the boys
through a good stiff workout. Mr..
Smith will open the season here with
the strong Birmingham Giants and
says with any kind of a break in the
luck he will give the ~Ironmakers a
game that they will not soon forget.
His men are fast and strong and
from the manner in which they move
about it seems to be a mighty strong
team. He is mixing the young blood
with a few old heads and the results
are compelled to be good. The first
games will be played Thursday and
Friday at Athletic Park, and a large
crowd is expected. MIR. White also
has some hard games ahead-open-
ing his season Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, May 3, 4 and 5, with the
Chattanooga team. Every n
knows what the Lookout boys can do,
and Manager Wright says his team,
this season, is the strongest he has
ever turned out, and that they are in
mid season form.
The Standard Giants are very
strong this season, having the most
of their old players with them and
some new faces that are ball players
of the first waters. The old reliable
Daddy Hurt, Watkins and Jordan
King will be on the job and that
means a good game.
The Negro ball player is greatly in
demand. The day of the rough and
tough ball player has passed. The
player that drinks ard keeps late
hours is passing and leople want to
see only good clean sport and will
only support that kind. Up to the
early Cos there was only one first
class Negro team, but now the South,
East and West are full of good teams
that play all eason and are making
a success of it. Nashville is no ex-
ception to the rule and this season
will bring about revelations in base
ball that will startle the most pessi-
mistic mind. With good teams and
oiean ball the public is coming out to
see.
Baseball is now a profession and
when a man has developed into a
a good, first-class ball player he has a
profession in which the money is not
small. When he combines this
with moderate habits and good living,
he is greatly in demand.

AMERICANISM

Mt ICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER
points out the greatest social phe-
~ nomenon of modern times is, the
whole world is being politically organ
ized. How long can 1.-The conventional
conditions" hold out against universal
organization? Little by little, says Mr..
Butler. steps toward organization are
taken, now in the formulation Of n
treaty, now in the instructions given to
representatives at an International con-
ference now in the new state OF mind
brought about by the participation in
international gatherings and the closer
study of international problems. The
consequence will be, one day the world
will be surprised to find how far it has
Travelled. Slowly, here a little and
there a little, will the high ethical and
political ideas of civilized man assert
themselves and take on such forms as
may be necessary to their fullest ac-
complishment
Americans have a peculiar RESPONSE
bility toward the political organization
Of the world. Whether they, recognize
it or not, they are looked to either to
lead in the movement or to contribute
to it, Indeed, Americans have already
supplied all the necessary instructions
because the professions and principles
of Americanism contain all the essen
tial altruism that may inspire all
movements for the redemption of socl-
ETY. that may ever be undertaken.
The world may grow old, but among
its eternal truths will always remain
those declared by the American fathers,
that men are born equal and not I'M
equal before the law and the Lord,
and are equally entitled to unalienable
rights. among which are life, liberty
and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.

ours such gross faults of human his

no children indulge their pride because
they are rich. Let us have laws when
look for revenue from accumulated
wealth. Confiscate all wealth beyond
one million; let 1t return to the people
whence 1t was taken and natural and
wholesome distribution would ensue'

YELLOW CRAZE

IN HERE are indications the yellow
craze has reached and passed it's
Il height, and the fever is slowly be-
ing abated. For, mark you, it was not
the field of journalism alone which suf-
fered from hysteria. There were yell
low novelists, yellow poets and yellow
artists, and yellow journalism as an
outcome was what might have been
expected. Indeed, the future historian,
anxiously investigating huge masses of
material in order to get a correct point
of view from which to condense his
estimate of these times, would be puz-
zled by a hiatus In the train of cause
and consequence, IF the files of yellow
Journals did not exist. In these files
there is stored abundant evidence of
the novelty craze, which might have
debauched the entire field Of journal
ism, if happily it had not been confined
to the scope of one journalistic purse
and one mans multiple venture.
Camille Mauclair in La Revue (Paris)
says the novelty craze that gives us
the eccentric, warped and freakish
newspapers which have been called
"yellow" has affected not only the
newspaper profession, but literature,
drama, painting and music. The idea
Of novelty in the minds of many people
is confused with genius. If we may
without offense suggest an extreme ex-
ample, we would ask whether such
people would regard it as a mark of
genius on the part of a minister if in
the middle of his sermon he should
suspend his oratory and insert clog
dance?
"You are old, Father William" the young
man said.
And your hair is exceedingly white;
And yet, you incessantly stand on your head
DO you think, at your age, it is right?"
The Father Williams" Of journalism
don't stop to ask whether it is right be-
fore they perform"

GREATER LOS ANGELES

AN invitation to the mayor and
! n city council to attend the great
! IA consolidation meeting at San Pc
dro tomorrow evening is worded as fol-
lows: "On Wednesday night, August
II, at San Pedro, will be held the
| final rally in the campaign of Los
/ Angeles to become one of the great
seaport cities of the world. You know
that success attended us at Whining
| ton. It has been well said of Los
Angeles that there are no hammers
/ out when she wants to accomplish
/ some great thing and now Is not the
/ time for the hammer, but the pusher.
/ WIN you not give your personal at
/ tention to this meeting, and by your
/ presence there show the people of San
/ Pedro the interest that her future legis-
/ lators have in the people they are in
viting to become their constituency?
| Please lay aside other duty, take the
6:35 D. m. car for san Pedro Wednes-
| day, and let us whoop 1t up for con-
solidation."
Not much more time remains in
which to "whoop it up" and every citi-
zen should do what he can toward
taking part in the consolidation victory.
If you win even one voter for
the cause, you have earned the right
to say you helped to make Greater
Los Angeles. The weapons Of the anti
consolida uonists are intimidation and
money. The fighters for Greater Los
Angeles have only one weapon, but 1t
| is PATRIOTISM, and it is more power
full than bullying or bribing. Intimida-
tion is q cOwardly weapon and is
especially despicable and reprehenstble
when the victim of the attack is lit
tie woman who insists on wearing a
consolidation button. We believe the
attempt to punish Miss Leonardo Of
Wilmington because she wears a con-
soldation button and her father and
brothers voted for consolidation will
help swell the majority for Greater Los
| Angeles.
! And let us say the conduct Of any
| industrial concern that discharges en-
/ ployes because they favor or vote for
consolidation is not merely odiously
tyrannical and un-American, but foolish
| The man who would cut off his nose
to spite his face is not regarded as a
wiseacre. Why then, should any busi-
ness concern oppose the formation Of
conditions which will be of great bene-
tit to 1t and win add to its prosperity?
The only interests that would seem to
have anything remotely resembling a
sane reason for opposing consolidation
are those that fear their graft will be in
terfered with when the metropolitan
area of maritime Greater Los Angeles
is put on d businesslille basis. But it
is the greatest good of the greatest
number that is at stake. and not the
earnings of greedy corporations, and
the greatest good of the greatest num-
Der demands the success of the con-
solidation election. Work and vote for
Greater Los Angeles, the maritime me-
tropolis Of the west.
