Monument to Or. Roxd.

Sunday evening at the Majestic The
atre a movement was started toward
the erection of a monument to the
late DR.. r. F, Boyd. The meeting
was attended by some of Nashville's
leading citizens. Some of them were
men who often differed with DR.. Boyd
in public matters, but at the meeting
On Sunday evening all were of one
mind in the opinion that monument
should be erected to the memory of
this great man. This move on the
part of the citizens is commendable,
and evidences a true spirit of pa
trotism.
Every man who lives in Nashville
should be interested in all those
things that go to make up a great
city. 1t has been a custom from
time immemorial to set up, in various
ways, some object that would tell un-
born generations of the achievements
of some man or men. Such express
sions are demonstrated in many ways,
but the purpose is the same, 1t
makes no difference whether the mon
ument to DR.. Boyd be in the form of
statue in some public place, or
building for public use, or a room in
public building for the use of the
needy. 1t does not matter in what
shape or form the testimonial be. it
will speak for itself, and will show
to the world the esteem in which our
deceased fellow-citizen was held.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 2. 1912.
Mr.. Bryant a Progressive.

Mr. Ira T. Bryant, Secretary of
the A. NJ. E. Church Sunday-School
Union, can be truly classed a progress
sive in church matters. When the
Committee on Revision of the Discip-
lire of the A. NJ. E. Church met in
this city last Tuesday, although Mr..
Bryant was not a member, he went
before the Committee and made a
vigorous fight for the things that he
conceived to be for the best interest
CT his Church. The glst of Mr.. Bry-
ants contention was, that it is the
duty of the Committee to revise the
Discipline just as they were ordered
to by the General Conference.
The lay people are awakening to
their responsibilities in church work.
The day of ministerial domination is
rapidly passing out, and the people
are learning to feel that they are re
sponsible, themselves, for the success
of the church They recognize the
fact that the minister is only one
man. and that after all he can only
do one mans part They recognize
also that it is an imposition on the
minister to expect him TO do every
thing that is to be done for the
church: consequently the leading
laymen are setting about to take theil
share of the responsibility; but IL
doing so. they realize that it will be
necessary TO change some of th'
laws governing the church, and Il
make them conform to regular bust
ness principles.
1t is this kind of fight that Mr.. Bry
ant is making before the Committee
And we believe that he will be heard
and that the new Discipline of tn,
A. NJ. E. Church will show man.
changes that tend to the bettermen
) of the Church, and will enlist In tn
cause of Christianity more thorougl
and progressive activity on the par
of the laity.

The Third Party,

On Tuesday of this week the Ne
groes of Davidson County met in a
mass convention to elect delegates
to the State Progressive Convention
that is being held today in this city.
A representative crowd was present,
and elected these delegates, which
sets at rest the attempt on the part
of some southern newspapers to
create the impression that the new
party is to be lilly white party.
We do not believe that Mr.. Roose-
welt would lead a party that would
shut the door in the face of the black
man. He has always stood out for
a square DEAL" and it is hard to
make any one believe that he has
little enough sense now to turn the
now to turn the back of his hand to
back of his hand to so large voting
constituency the Negroes of this
country are.
But the motive of those who are
endeavoring to create this dissension
is well understood. 1t is simply ia
~eQnfuse the Negro voters. They know
that Negroes will not support Mr.
Taft, and they do not believe many
of them will support Mr. Wilson. So
if the idea can be conveyed that the
new party is a lilly white organiza
ton it will put the Negro at sea, anC
while he is trying to decide what T.
do the forces will become scattered
and November will come and the
election will be held, and Mr. Wi
son would be elected President O
the United States.
But the Negro is not deceived. II
has explicit confidence in Mr.. Roost
welt and the leaders of the Thir
Party and he will not be drive
about by every wind that blows, BIT
will stand his ground like man, an
will vote his convictions regardles
of what newspapers may say.

Our Parks.

Negroes have just cause to be
PROUD of this city, and also to CON-
pliment themselves that they are citi-
zens of a municipality with such
friendliress as exists between all the
people Of Nashville. During these
lot days every Negro who desires can
go away from the hot, suffocating,
ccngested districts Of the city to
some park or playground, and there
socnd a few hours in innocent amusc-
ment or quiet rest.
Greenwood Park on the Southsde
furnishes both recreation and amuse-
nent Hadley Park on the North
side, with its great gifts of nature,
affords an opportunity for quiet rest.
Tn addition to these we have some
Fairgrounds, and others are under
contemplation. BY the efforts of
Or. Josie Wells and others an in
dependent playground has been pro-
yided for the children in the vicinity
Of Walden University, and there on
every evening can be seen hundreds
OF young and old enjoying the cool
breeze Of the evening.
Nothing can take the place of a
park in a city and it is commendable
that the Negroes have learned so
readily to appreciate such institu-
tions. 1t was feared by some that
they would abuse parks, but they
have taken hold Of them and are con-
Quoting themselves in these public
( places of amusement and recreation
as other people. This proves to the
world that a Negro can deport him
self as manly as other people and
that he will do so when surrounded
BY proper environments.

They Met Their Fate.

Bailey and Shelton on last Friday
morning paid the penalty for the
brutal murder Of the Pettigrews.
There were some who we're skeptical,
and doubted whether these men
would be hanged, but We have never
entertained any doubt We believed
from the outset that the court at De
caturville would convict the men Of
murder in the first degree. and after
they had been convicted We did not
believe that the law would stand in
the way long
1t was brutal crime; more helm
Gus than words can describe. The
men must have been tortured BY
their own conscience before the trap
was sprung last Friday morning thai
sent them into eternity Capita
punishment may BE- wrong; bot d
would be a debatable question in the
minds OF all fair persons 10 argue
that it was wrong in this state. 50
ciety is better OF without such in
diyiduals, although their death can
not heal the wound that has beel
made in the community where tn
Pettigrews lived, the minds Of tn
people can at least be satisfied tina
they will never again be tOrmente
