MEETING OF THE CoLoRED Ma
TIONAL DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE
Concluded from page u

congressional district, and as in the
past he is ever ready to look after his
constituents to the best of his ability,
and he made US walk right into his
fine quarters in the Congress Office
building and make ourself at home.
As a memento he presented US with
a fine photograph of President Wood
row Wilson, the Hon. Thomas Gala
CHER and himself which was taken at
Seagirt, N. J., July 20, 1912, with
President Wilson sitting in between
the two congressman from Illinois.
In the afternoon of that same date
or on Saturday, March 8, we had the
honor of calling on Col. William j.
Bryan, the new secretary of state, and
finally after a long wait we were ush-
cred into his presence by his COlored
messenger, and he received us very
pleasantly with his original Bryan
smile. His desk sits right in the CEN
ter of a very large room, and in his
plain western way or style he has the
doors leading into his inner room wide
open, so that the humblest or the high
est citizen, white or black, can without
much trouble get to see him after they
are admitted into his presence. Every
once in a while the new secretary will
arise from his easy chair, walk around
among those in the room, crack a good
joke with some one he knows real well,
pat them on the back and in his old
fashioned democratic manner he ear
nestly endeavors to make all corners
feel at home.

ALDERMAN1c TERMS SHOULD NOT
BE HEIGHTENED.
(To be continued)

At a recent meeting of the council
the aldermen passed a bill making
official terms of alderman four years
instead of two, as at present. The
bill in question is about to be pre-
scented to the legislature. There seems
to be no great cutlery for this extension
on the part of the public, and it had
been hoped that this proposition was
shelved for good, as it is almost certain
to be when it comes up for action in
the General Assembly.
1t would seem as though the intelli-
gent citizen will have difficulty in dis
covering any reason why such a prop
osition should be given serious eonsid-
Grafton for a moment. In the case Of
an alderman who is representing his
ward in a fashion satisfactory to his
constituents, there is nothing to pre-
vent the latter from succeeding himself
indefinitely OF until he ceases to do al
dermanie duty in harmony with their
wishes and views.
On Thea other hand, a four-year term
is obviously too long for an alderman,
who, in spite of prediction pledges,
conducts himself in such a fashion as
to displease those who were deceived
into sending him to the council. For
be it remembered that the voters have
practically no power to rid themselves
of such an incubus until four long
years have elapsed. It is true they may
express individual and collective dis
approval Of the man who misrepresents
them, but q corrupt or otherwise in
efficient alderman is not likely to pay
more than contemptuous attention to
demonstrations Of that kind. BE would
be too busy feathering his nest, know
ing fun wen that when next election
day comes around he win be forced
into the undignihed retirement he has
earned. In the meantime the voters
have had no means Of closing the sta
BILE door before the horse was stolen.
Another point seems to have been
overlooked. Two-year terms are re-
Earded as sufficient for state legisla-
tors and members Of the National
House Of Representatives And it may
be safe to say that, in q general way
these gentlemen are at least as valu-
able to their constituents as Chicago
aldermen are to the wards they repre-
sent. From every point Of view the
proposition is one to be froWned down.
-Four years is not long enough for 4
good alderman; still more important, il
is much too long for = bad one.

EASTER SABBATH AT THE NsTI-
TUTIoNAI, CHURCH.

Notwithstanding the terrific down
pour of rain and the manifest fury of
the elements, two magnificent audi
enees assembled at the Institutional
Church Easter Sabbath.
The new vested choir entered with
the professional" and departed with
"Reeessional, and the music which
they rendered was not only appropriate
and beautiful, but perfect in its eEeeu-
tion.
Bishop B. F. Lee preached upon
"The Power of the Resurrection" and
delivered a sermon advanced in
thought, powerful in delivery, pro-
found in its philosophy and that stirred
and inspired his whole audience.
DR.. George Burnam Foster, professor
of the Philosophy of Religion at the
University of Chicago, spoke to a
splendid audience Sunday evening on
".Prejudiees." To say that this sub
ject was treated by this learned scholar
to the delight and edihcation of all is
putting it but mildly.
Next Sabbath evening Mrs. E. H.
Ryder, of the Chicago D. n. A, will
deliver a special address to mothers
and wives, and to husbands and IA
theirs.
The City Federation of Women IS
Clubs and the Kings Daughters Cir
eles have been invited as guests of
honor on this occasion.
A cordial invitation is extended to
the general public for all the services.
Polite ushers, delightful music, con-
genial members, orthodox preaching and
a homelike church await all who wor-
ship with us-''O."

BISHOP LEE LEAVES FOR SOUTH

Nearly 1000 flour thOusand) people
present.
Features were-Mals chorus Of two
hundred fifty voices; college orchestra,
Glee Club, Quartette, Piano, Vocal and
Trombone Solos and the Demonstration
in Voice Culture.
The program consisted Of new selee-
tions excepting the melodies and
Swanee River. All were committed in
two weeks time.
The Colored composers represented
were R. Nathaniel Dett, (Magnolia
Suite for Piano.; Will Marion Cook,
Rosamond johnson, Harry Burleigh,
and Clarence Cameron White in vocal
compositions.
The whole program aimed to show
what Colored youth could do in even
a short time of preparation.
The Festival was a courageous en-
terprising effort on the part of Presi-
dent John Hope of Atlanta Baptist
College. His faith in the citizens of
Atlanta well placed, as the immense
audience attested.
Congratulations are due both Presi-
dent Hope, the Atlanta Baptist Col
lege and the progressive Colored citi-
zens of Atlanta.
Since Madame Hackley had con-
tributed her services for the two
weeks preparation and for the Festi-
val, there was no effort made to reap
financial gain. Popular prices of 25c
and SOC were charged.
1t was a most remarkable audience
in several ways. The late corners
waited most patiently in the vestibule
and inside the door, between numbers,
until the ushers seated them, and made
every effort not TO disturb, some even
"tiptoeing" to their seats. Although
nearly one thousand public school chill
dren and orphans were the guests of
the College, one could have heard a pin
drop not only during a rendition but
while Madame Haekley gave the Dem
onstration and put the chorus through
the vocal exercise.
Madame Haekley was ably assisted
by Mr.. Kemper Harreld, director of
music of the Atlantic Baptist College.
The boys presented Madame Hack
ley with a beautiful sterling silver
chain and engraved coin purse, and a
large bouquet of pink carnations, and
gave her a "eollege yell".
The affair marks an era-not only
in the musical affairs of the Atlanta
population but in the musical history
of the raee.-"D."

Mr.. SulZer SAID IN part:
"My friends: No words of mine
and 1 speak from the depths Of a
grateful heart-can tell you how, much
L appreciate this dinner in celebration
of my birthday, and of all that 1 owe
to you for all that you have done for
me.
"Here assembled are some of the
best and the truest friends a man ever
had. If I have done aught in the
years gone by to Justify this recogni-
tion of your kindness, of your gener-
Iosity, and of your appreciation, the
credit is yours, and the praise is yours
because all that 1 am owe, to a very
large extent, to those around this fes.
tive board for the confidence they have
reposed in me, and in the rectitude of
my intentions, in all the years of the
past when I represented this district
in the congress of the United States.
"You know me as I am; and as 1
am, 1 ever hope to be. 1 would not
be different if could, and could not
if I would. You know that have no
race, no political, and no religious pref
udiee. The only prejudice 1 have is
against intrenched wrongs, to remedy
which I have struggled all my life. I
am broad-minded in my views. I be-
lieve in my fellowman, in the good of
society generally, and I know that the
world is growing better. Ny face is
to the dawning of the better and the
brighter day that heralds the coming
of the Brotherhood of Man.
"In the future, as in the past, you
can count on me to struggle to help
those who need help; to do my share in
my day and generation for the general
welfare; to aid oppressed humanity in
every land and in every cline; and to
raise the humble and the lowly te a
higher level and a loftier plane in the
onward march of progress and of civil
lization.
"Long ago I made a vow to the peo-
pie that in the performance of my duty
no influence would control me but the
dictates of my conscience and my de-
termination to do the right-as 1 see
the light-day in and day out, regard
less of the political future or personal
consequences. Have no fear. shall
stick to that.
"Let me say again that I stand now,
where I have always stood, and where
1 always will stand-for certain funda-
mental prineiples-for freedom Of
speech; for the right of lawful assem-
bly,; for the freedom of the press; for
liberty under law; for civil and relig-
ious freedom; for constitutional govern
ment; for equality and justice to all;
for home rule and local self govern
ment; for the reserved rights of the
states; for equal rights to every one
and special privileges to no one; and
for unshaekled opportunity as the bea-
con light of individual hope, and the
best guarantee for the perpetuity of
our free institutions.

and to justify the confidence
they have reposed in the reetitude of
my intentions.
GAS many of you know 1 have been
over some of the celebrated trails of
our eountry-the trails made by our he
roie settlers in the pioneer days of the
Republic. A few years ago I travelled
over the famous Santa Fe Trail
stretching away from st. Louis west
ward and southwark to the capital of
New Mexico. There in the old Plaza,
where the trail ends, is a small granite
shaft to the memory of Kit Carson, the
pathfinder, the scout and the guide of
that world-renowned route. On it are
inscribed these simple words, well
done, Kit
"When my career on earth is fin
ished, and am gathered to the fathers,
1 indulge the hope that if 1 have done
aught for my fellowman, that those
who appreciate my efforts for a COM
mon humanity will erect over my grave
a similar simple shaft, and on it in
scribe the words, well done, Bill I
want no greater reward-no greater
glory-no more lasting fame.
"And so, my friends, in conclusion,
I thank you again one and all, for
what you have done for me; and God
willing, assure you that in the future,
as in the past, I shall to the best of
my ability fight on for truth; fight on
for justice; fight on for progress; fight
on for humanity; fight on for the
cause that lacks assistance; against the
wrongs that need resistance; for the fu-
ture in the distance, and the good that
1 can do"
