pia" is a classic and is not written in
the dialect which characterizes most
poems on the Negro. 1t gives reca-
pitulation Of the deeds Of the race in
all ages.
1t begins:
Thou sovereign queen Of Afric's sunny
strands,
I smite my Tyre to sing thy praise unsung
In strains far sweeter than seraph's
bands
A lay deep in my bosom's core is sprung.
Fair queen. although my years as yet be
young,
Deep thoughts and musings Of thy history
Where odes and fiery epics long have
hung.
Live centuries in my immortal soul
And strike sweet Lydian measures on my
harp Of gold!
This ode consists Of nineteen Spen-
cerian stanzas. and into 1t the author
pours his soul. A perusal of it thrills
one with pride for his race and ami
mates his soul to put forth greater eff
forts.
He pays the following beautiful
tribute to the virtue and charms of
women:
call thee angel Of this earth,
For angel true thou art
In noble deeds and sterling worth
And sympathetic heart.
/, therefore, seek none from afar
For what they might have been,
But sing the praise Of those which are.
That dwell on earth with men.
This young versifier of the higher
life of the race is paid the following
tribute by William Stanley Braith-
waite in the introduction to "The Syl-
van Cabin" 'To this l can only add
that, good as these are, they give us
hope for better from one who ought
certainly to 60 on and upward" The
Washington Star says: Though a rep
resentative Of the race which has CIV
en- Paul Laurence Dunbar to the world,
he strikes an even higher note than
that lamented pioneer in the field of
Afro-American poetry. There is no
suggestion Of the plantation in these
verses, which are unidentifable as the
output of one born in Mississippi"

Institution Which Cares For Many
Children Makes Progress.
The Howard Colored Orphan asy-
lum, now located in its new home in
Kings Park. New York, has had
most successful year. 1t has cared for
24S children, representing thirty-two
states in the Union. Besides Superin-
tendent 'and Mrs. James II. Gordon,
there are forty-five other employees
teachers. matrons. housekeepers and
other caretakers.
The institution is supported by vol
untary contributions from among the
several churches of both white and
colored people in Greater New York.
The board Of trustees is also composed
Of members of both races. Upon the
trustees largely rests the responsibility
of securing funds with which to carry
on the work.
The children are given good ele-
mentary education, as well as being
taught several trades. such as carpen-
try. drawing. domestic science. shoe
making, basketry, agriculture and dai-
rying. Other subjects are to be added
as the children show capacity to ad-
vance. Vocal music is one Of the spe-
cial features Of the educational work
OF the institution.

CIVIL RIGHTS COMMITTEE.

Western Publishers Plan Active Legal
Campaign For Better Conditions.
Muskogee. Okla.-The Western Negro
Press association outlined very COM
mendable course of action at its recent
meeting in Topeka. Kan. which II
strictly followed will result in a closer
union between its members as well az
be of benefit to the race throughout
the country.
Among the special committees ap-
pointed was the civil rights commit
tee, whose duty 1t shall be to confer
with the president, senator's. governors
and congressman with a view Of hav-
ing the law enforced against lynching,
disfranchisement, discrimination In
public places and on common carriers,
such as railroads, street cars and 9th
er public conveyances.
wherever there are jimcrow laws
separating the races on railroads and
in public places" says President A. ].
Smitherman. 1.-The colOred people are
invariably accorded inferior accommo-
dation. In many instances they are
forced to ride for hundreds of miles in
insanitary apartments not much bet
ter than cattle cars. If We must have
separate cars the railroad companies
should be compelled to give the colored
people accommodation equal in COM
fort in every way to that given other
people.
"Think Of a colored man or woman
riding twenty-four or forty eight hours
in a straight back seat in an apartment
where both men and women use the
same accommodations and often with
out a smoking compartment for men
and for this accommodation forced to
pay the same fare as the white man or
woman who are given all the comforts
Of chairs and on Pullman cars.
"A colored man or woman gets just
as tired and worn out when travelling
as a white man or woman and would
appreciate the comforts Of a reclining
chair and the berth Of Pullman car
to the same extent as any other person.
The colored people are entitled to q
part Of the chair cars and part Of the
Pullman cars in every state where the
jimcrow law is In force, and It Is my
opinion that they will eventually get
1t, because the best class Of white peo-
pie in the country. people who are not
afraid to espouse the cause Of human
rights, will assist us in the fight.
There are enough good people in Amer
lea to see that right dominates over
wrong"

Ode to Ethiopia Gave {. s. Jones HE
Passport to Freedom.
Edward Smyth Jones, q native Of
Mississippi. bids fair to rival Paul
Laurence Dunbar as a writer of verse.
Mr. Jones has long cultivated the muse
and gained much public notice a year
or SO ago when he was arrested as q
vagrant while trying to enter Harvard
university. "The Ode to Ethiopia" is
historical epic and is regarded as
being responsible for his being releas-
ed from the Jail at Cambridge. Mass,
where he was confined after being ar
rested at Harvard. Even Judge Ar
thur p. Stone, who dismissed the
charge Of vagrancy against him, said,
"Gentlemen. do not wish to be Judge,
but this is better poetry than I find in
the current magazines"
The Boston American called this
poem "his passport to freedom" while
the Boston Globe said of him and his
"Ode to Ethiopia" "One Of those gen.
fuses who. like Paul Laurence Dunbar
and Alexander Dumas, occasionally
comes forth to proclaim the intellectual
equality Of the Negro race" Mr..
Jones is the author of book of poems
called "The Sylvan Cabin" with an

Grand Lodge Holds Enthusiastic
Meeting In Greensboro.
LARGE DELEGATION PRESENT.
Professor r. 3. MeRary In Lengthy
Address at the Forty second Annual
Session Of the State Masonic Frater.
nifty Tells Of the Progress Which the
Order Is Making.
By GEORGE FRANCIS KING


Greensboro. N. C:-The forty-second
annual session of the grand lodge. Free
and Accepted Masons. of the jurisdic-
ton of North Carolina recently held in
this city was an epoch making event
for Afro-American Masons in this Sec
ton Of the country. Over 800 delegates
were in attendance. They represented
the intellectual and progressive ele-
ment Of the race. 1t is the strongest
fraternity in the state. 1t has made
excellent investments, such as North
Carolina bonds. and has over $4,000
in the endowment department.
The well known scholar and capt.
talist Professor r. B. McRary. who is
an excellent example for the young Of
the race and whose rating places him
among the moneyed men Of the state, Is
the most worshipful grand master for
the state. Owing to his ability as a
financier and business man the order
has never before experienced such
glowing results.
Colonel James H. Young, the well
rounded business man. is the endow-
ment secretary; DR.. o. s. Brown, the
well known educator, pulpiteer and
public spirited man. is the grand Sec
retary, and A. Middleton is the grand
treasurer. These, with w. s. Simmons,
are the grand lodge officials. The re-
port of Colonel Young shows that dur
ing the past Masonic year $40, 700 has
been paid to the widows and orphans
and a large sum to charitable institu-
tions.
The annual address Of Professor Nc
Rary was the most mastery effort ever
heard by the grand lodge. He said in
part:
Not only are we making our record on
the pages Of history. but We are making
the pathway for our successors to future
and much greater achievements. Our
march will have no broken hearts in it's
wake. nor will 1t be stained with innocent
blood. Our object is not war or persecu-
ton, but upon our banners, proudly wav-
ing, are inscribed the insignia Of the
triple alliance-"Brotherly love. relief and
truth" These institutions that are sum-
moned into existence simply to meet So

Nashville. Tenn. In the discussion of
candidates for the various offices to be
filed at the coming session or the gen
eral conference of the African Metho'
dist Episcopal church next May south
erners are beginning to wonder what
about many Of their men. Ira T. Bry-
ant at the last conference opened the
way for more pronounced recognition
of the merits Of the laymen for those
positions not calling for particular
qualifications appertaining to the
clergy.
Not only has Ira T. Bryant opened
the way for the laymen. but he has
set the pace for clean. clear cut eff
cheney such as has not been set by any
Of his predecessors nor beaten by any
Of the older officials. whatever their
capacity or merit. Mr.. Bryant's claims
for consideration, which will without
the shadow Of a doubt be met at the
general conference in a favorable man
ner, make consideration for other well
known and efficient laymen more IA
vorable.
