THE SITUATION IN CUBA.
Militant Race journal Makes Strong
Plea For Justice.

Militant Race journal Makes Strong
Plea For Justice.
Ever since the Cuban government has
been organized and since the United
States troops were withdrawn there
have been race difficulties. 1t will be
remembered that Maceo and the blacks
were some OF theAnost active and reso-
Lutte rebels against Spanish rule and
The most effective allies Of the United
States in securing Cuban freedom,
says the Denver Statesman.
However, when 1t came to the eiec-
ton Of the officials American interests
and race prejudice reduced the blacks
to an inferior position. This they re-
sented; hence the recent revolt While
we do not know the specific occasion
Of their rebellion nor the justice Of
their cause, we are human enough to
be interested in them and to desire
that they be given fair treatment
1t does not follow that they are
wrong because they are black nor be-
cause they are in an inferior position.
II American control of Cuba is to mean
to the Cuban Negro what has happen
ed to the American Negro in the south.
1t Is no improvement of his condition
that Spanish rule is gone.
In neither case is ne a citizen with
opportunity to say what the law shall
be or how 1t shall be enforced. The
dark cloud of race hate is spreading
and our hope is the good sense Of the
world will destroy it like 1t did slavery.
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1912-06-22

the influential and constructive policy
that has characterized DR.. Bray's ad-
ministration.
1t is also charged that Bishop Stew
art used the power of his office to re-
move DR.. Bray, forcing his self ap-
pointed and packed board Of trustees
to do his bidding. Practically all of
the men are presiding elders whom he
has appointed to Office. To make as
surance doubly sure two board mem
bers who were said to favor DR.. Bray's
retention were transferred to other
conferences In the midst of the con-
ference year and their positions on the
board of trustees declared vacant.
The commencement marked the
close of a most successful year. twen-
ty-five young people finishing from the
various departments. The baccalau-
reate sermon was preached by DR.. j..
A. Whitted. pastor of the First Bap-
tist church, Birmingham. and the an
nual address was delivered by DR.. J..
d. Simpson, president of Birmingham
college, local Institution maintained
by the Methodist Episcopal Church
South.
In a statement which he has made
public DR.. Bray declares that Bishop
Stewart took offense because he in
sisted on an accounting Of money
used In the erection Of the new dorui-
tory now in course Of erection. sug-
gesting that, inasmuch as the general
education board had given $1,000 OF
the amount and that goodly portion
of it had been secured from the white
and colored business men Of the COM
nunity, It would be well to make a
report that would show the disposition
of the funds.
This position. DR.. Bray declares. was
made rather emphatic by reason OF
statement from DR.. Buttrick that fur
ther donations to this and other insti-
tutions Of similar character would be
predicated upon the disposition and
handling of this particular donation.
II have always tried to recognize
my responsibility to the public as head
Of an institution" says DR.. Bray.
MANY people contribute to the insti-
tuition through my solicitation. and I
have always made faithful report OF
all moneys passing through my hands.
1t was no more than meeting my re-
sponsibility squarely to insist that as
long as was president Of the instttu-
tdon the treasurer should make faith
ful reports. The fact that he was
bishop made him none the less ~
sponsibls a. q treasurer"
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1912-06-22
BY CLEVELAND c. ALLEN.


| Charlotte, N. C.-The twenty-fouru
| quadrennial session of the A. NJ. E
Zion church conference recently helt
| in this city for three weeks was II
many respects the most notable in the
history of the denomination. The ses
sions were all well attended and the
public showed great interest in every
phase Of the work.
All departments Of the church were
gone over with care and were found tc
be on a solid basis, especially the finan
cial department, which is said to be
further in advance in actual achieve
ments, according to receipts, than was
expected by the general officials.
While there were no new bishops
elected at this session there were sew
eral changes made IL the general Off
GERS staff. The conference was at
tended of upward Of 360 delegates,
who came from every section Of the
country, as well as from Africa and
the West Indies.
These delegates told of the progress
the connection was making the world
over. 1t was the first time in four
years that an opportunity was afforded
to see the great Zion church in body
and to study the personnel of the gath
ering. The conference made a great
impression upon the white citizens OF
Charlotte, and at the close of the con-
ference an editorial in the Evening
Chronicle, a leading daily. spoke in
glowing terms of the session.
When Bishop Hood called the confer
ence to order on the opening day in
Clinton chapel he stood in the same
place as he did forty years ago when.
a young man, he was ordained bishop.
Among the new changes are the cleo
ton of the Hon. ]. G. Dancy of Wash
ington as secretary of the Church Ex-
tension society, Rev. G. w. Wood Of
the Missionary society, Rev. NJ. D. Lee
general secretary and Rev. ]. w. Kyles
editor of the Quarterly Review.
Among the general officers reelected
were DR.. ]. S. Jackson financial secre-
tary, G. C. Clement editor Of the Star
of Zion, f. X. Bird manager publica-
ton house. S. G.. Atkins secretary OF
education and DR.. w. Fl. Goler presi-
dent of Livingstone college
During the past four years the
church has raised over quarter Of
million dollars This was done inde
pendent of the amount raised for the
$500 churches in the connection. The
bishops quadrennial address was espe-
cially interesting and called special at
tention to the splendid condition Of the
following departments: Educational de-
partment. which has under its control
eleven institutions; the extension de-
partment. missionary department, Wo-
mans Home and Foreign Missionary
society, varick Christian Endeavor un-
ion, the publication house, Star of Zion,
Harriet Tubman home. Sunday school
department. the Varick memorial tenn
pie and the brotherhood.
The great good that is being done in
Africa by the Zion church was encour-
aging. Many prominent visitors, among
whom were DR.. Booker L. Washington.
addressed the conference during the
session.
The prominent women of the church
figured largely at the conference.
Among those present were Mrs. Anna
Blackwell, Mrs. K. P. Hood, Mrs. ].
S. Jackson, Mrs. Leila Walters. Mrs.
c. r. Harris, Mrs. George w. Clinton
and Mrs. Mary Small.
