"Now, to carry out this plan so
thoughtfully and timely undertaken
by the Negro Board Of Trade, there
should be a short. vigorous, 'snappy'
campaign in which every Negro
in Nashville would be given an
opportunity to pay fifty cents towards
making up this fund. BY a shor',

Lihrarv Fund.

The Negroes of this city. under
the leadership 4 the Board of Trade,
are planning to .aise a fund to assist
in purchasing a site for the new Car
negie Library thai is soon to be erect
ed. The amount hey hope to raise
is five Thousand dollars. This is
commendable move and one that will
receive the connhendation of all right
thinking people, Negroes are poor
it is true, but no people are appre-
ciated who do not make an effort to
do something lur themselves. They
may not raise FIVE thousand dollars,
but they can raise something, They
can raise five thousand dollars, and
will if al Of the leaders will fall in
line and make one strong pull.
1t is es .imated by the promoters OF
this move that at fifty cents each the
five thousand dollars can be raised
There are between thirty-five and for
ty thousand Negroes in Nashville
which means, of course, that if each
one should give fifty cents a fund oil
between fifteen and twenty thousand
dollars would be raised, but there are
some who will not give anything
while on the other hand, there are
tmany who can and will give much
smore than fifty cents. There are
several men in Nashville who are
able to give DIS much as one hundred
dollars, and we believe several Of
them will give literally to this worthy
cause.
At the next meeting of the Boart
of Trade the plans will very likely
be perfected and the campaign
launched. 1t is the duty of every
Negro to give something, and if there
are any who do not intend to give
anything or who feel that it is no
their duty to give, they should hit
themselves away to some secluded
spot and keep their mouths shut a!
tight as a clam. The people are
heartily in favor of making the effor
and all disgruntals and sore-head'
should let them alone and allow
them to do what their conscience
tells them to do.
The library is for the benefit o
all the people and no one who ha!
the least self-pride would hesitate fol
a minute to give as much as fiftl
cents to go toward the purchase of ;
site for a library.

Is Roosevelt Crazy?

Many of the papers and magazines
of the country are working overtime
to prove that Theodore Roosevelt is
lunatic. Others who desire to be
little more sane are mild enough
in their expressions to say that he
is a dangerous man and is laboring to
selfish ends.
1t is not believed that these howlers
are sincere in their contentious, but
are simply endeavoring to create a
sentiment against Mr.. Roosevelt But
despite al their wailing the people
wherever they are given a chance to
express their opinions are making
it understood that they do not be-
lieve Roosevelt is crazy. They read
his utterances, and they are studying
the man, and when they are given
1 a chance to express their opinions
they say eff Roosevelt is crazy we
like a crazy man."

A, M, &, Bishops.

The delegates that composed the
twenty-fourth General Conference of
the African Methodist Episcopal
Church that adjourns today in Kan
sas City, Mo-, are to be commended
for the wise judgment they exercised
in the selection of bishops There
were many able men, in fact all of
them are who were in the race, but
for ripe experience, true Christian
piety, thorough scholarship and loya'
church pride, the selections could not
have been excelled.
Bishop Chappelle is well known in
this city, having resided here eight
years as the head of the A. M. E
Sunday-School Union. His many
friends here would be glad to con
graduate him with an old time Ten

Bishop ]. M. Conner, of Arkansas
is well known here and is a grea
favorite. Bishop Hurst was presen
at the last session Of the Tennessee
Annual Conference, and made a last
ing impression. Bishop Jones, q
Ohio, is only known in this state b

From the Associated Press dis

that island. We do not know how
much truth there is in the report, but

at present exposed to such dangers.

TO THE PUBLIC.
FRIDAY, MAY "a, 1912.
Empty-Handed.

The Tennessee delegates to the
General Conference of the A. M. E.
Church held in Kansas City, Mo-, will
return home stripped of all honors.
It was the hope of all citizens of
this state that DR.. ]. A. Jones would
be honored with the editorship of the
Southern Christian Recorder, and
that DR.. C. V. Roman, our fellow
townsman, would likewise be honor
ed to guard the destiny of the A. M.
E. Review. 1t appeared before the
meeting that these elections were GER
tain. In fact, they had about been
conceded. But an election is never
certain until the votes are counted.
In DR.. Romans case, it appears that
he would, in all probability, have
been elected had he continued in the
race, but we learn he considered 1t
the better part of wisdom to with
draw. In Dr. Jones case, it is evil
dent that his defeat was due to the
dissensions among the Tennessee
delegation. 1t will be remembered
that fight had been on in this state
and that the Tennessee delegation
went to the General Conference split
ND into several factions. And then,
after they reached the seat of the
Conference the delegates saw fit to
hold a special meeting and in that
meeting they deprived Rev. A. p.
Gray of the craftsmanship and be-
slowed that honor upon Rev. G. L.
Jackson. Nothing can be said adj
verse as to the reputation OF either
of these gentlemen; both are worthy
men and able to lead delegation,
but the fact remains that the dis
sessions among the delegates weaken
ed their cause and as a result both
of Tennessees candidates were left;
and furthermore the position of Sec
rotary of the Preachers Aid Associa.
ton, held by DR., w. A. Lewis, OF
Tennessee, was abolished. The Of
fee of Dr. Lewis might have been
abolished had the delegates been as
a unit, but it is fact that the bick
ering among the delegates had tell
ing effect
The Globe warned the TENNESSEE
men before the sitting of the Gen
eral Conference of the dangers tina
result from internal discussions. This
is not the only case which could b.
cited in which such discussions hav'
worked a detriment to Tennesseans il
national meetings The old adag
that "in union there is strength
holds good until this day. Again
such conditions prove conclusivel
that "house divided against itsel
cannot stand" Tennrsseans woul

10 keep in mind the feet that it take
unity of action to win. 1t is true /
church as we'll as in state, or for tina
natter, in any national meeting.
The people of this state will lear
with regret of the losses sustained b
her sons at Kansas City, All of tn
men elected are strong men and W
have no criticism to make, our on
regret is that Tennessee did not r
ceive any honors, and lost those 81
already had.

Chas. Edwards: 1t might please
Fargo people to know that it is a
great relief to reach here and find
such a pleasing contrast from the
rigorous winter Chicago has expert
enced this year. OF all the fifteen win
ters / spent in North Dakota, / never
saw any weather as continuously dis
agreeable, or any one day, as some
days we had in Chicago. The cold
p~enetrates there on the lake, and one
suffers more than up here, and there
has been very little sunshine. OF course
this winter has been the worst in
Chicago in the last twenty years, but
any of them are unpleasant enough.
Even last Wednesday / left in a bliz-
zard, with heavy snow and wind
blowing forty-five miles an hour. The
now is in drifts, in every direction
out Of Chicago, and here / find sum
shine and little snow. People ought
to appreciate this climate, though the
Chicago papers ask: IF 1t is as bad
here as this. what must it be in North
Dakota, wow?"
