AFFAIRS IN METHODiSM.

Publication Board Reinstates Editor
Wright and Manager Lowe.
The publication board of the African
Methodist Episcopal church has rein
stated DR.. X. E. Wright and Rev. J. l.
Lowe, editor Of the Christian Recorder
| and manager Of the Book Concern. re-
spectively. These two officials were
dismissed by the board Oct. % as the
result of charges made by Editor
Wright concerning the Rev. Mr..
loves integrity. A period of sixty
days was given the two deposed Off
cials to wind up their affairs before
their successors We're appointed. The
headquarters Of the Book Concern are
at Gal Pine street. Philadelphia.
Public sentiment in and out of the
denomination in the main was much
| opposed to the decision of the board at
its meeting in October. DR.. Wright
and Rev. Mr.. Lowe have not had over
much to, say, about the matter in a
public way, but they settled the trou-
BILE between themselves SO that when
the board met Dec. % to name "a new
editor and a manager for the Book
Concern, lit was found that the bishops
were willing to reinstate the two men
If such were favorable to the members
Of the publication board. This sug-
gestion met the boards approval in
view of the agreement reached be-
tween the two ,contending parties.
therefore the board voted to reinstate
Editor Wright and the Rev. J. |. Lowe
to their former positions.
The following from the Southwestern
Christian Advocate and the Southern
Christian Adv ate shows the drift of
sentiment against the boards first de-
cision:
1T seems as though the publicat ation
board Of the African Methodist Epis-
copal church has made serious blum
der in its dismissal of Editor Wright
We have read every word of the in
terview given out by Bishop Evans
Tyree. president of the publication
board, and we are more certain now
than ever before that DR.. Wright had
done nothing worthy of dismissal.
Certainly not in the manner he was
dismissed. In this day of wicked
and perverse generation. man who
denounces the sin Of those in higher
authority III the church should be en-
eouraged rather than suppressed. IF
Daniel Payne had been living the At
rican Methodist church would have
been stirred from center to circumfer.
ence because Of his attack upon the
sin Of a colleague.
"The sentiment Of the press generally
is against the publication board. The
Southern Christian Recorder of the
African Methodist church in the south
attacks the action. This is what 1t
says: 1T has been the custom with all
well regulated bodies to call extra ses
sions when conditions required such,
The publication board Of the A. M. e.
church has made a serious blunder.
There is no remedy within the legal
power of the board but to meet in an
other session and reconsider Its action
in multiplying the work of the general
conference.
Nothing less will satisfy the con-
nection and save much trouble. The
church is growing restless and will
not stand much longer for unlawful
bossism. The demand is that every
body must respect and obey the laws

New York.-The annual meeting Of
the National Association For the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People,, held In
the United Charities building Monday,
Jan. 8, was attended by over 1000
delegates from almost every section Of
the country. The fact that such
country wide protest has been going
ON against race segregation IN the
government service In Washington
seemed to give vigor and greater Arm
ness to the vast throng which attend
cd every session.
This association, which Ia the same
that recently conducted an investiga-
tion on segregation in government Do
partments In Washington, has bean
the most active advocate Of the rights
Of our people and has perfected an or
ganiSation which reaches important
cities throughout the country, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific coast.

valor of CoIored Soldiers.
At this time. when so much agitation
b going on throughout the country
about the citizenship righs Of Afro
Americans, the following from speech
by the late President William McKin-
ley should give encouragement to ev-8
cry person who believes in a square
deal for all Americans regardless of
race, color or creed ..
President Mckinley said:
My friends and fellow citizens, the
settlements Of that war must stand
as the irreversible judgment Of battle
and the infexible decree Of a nation
Of free men. They must not be mis-
interpreted. they must not be nulli-
fed, they must not be weakened or
shorn Of their force under any pretext
whatever. but must be acquiesced in
freely In every part Of the republic,
without reservation or voidance or
evasion.
1t must not be equality and justice
In the written law only. 1t must be
equality and justice in the laws ad.
ministration everywhere, and alike ad-
ministered in every part Of the repub-
lie to every citizen thereof. It must
not be the more cold formality of con-
stitutional enactment It must be q
living birthright, which the poorest
and humblest may enjoy, and which
the richest and most powerful dare
not deny.
L Our black allies must neither be de-
serted nor forsaken. And every right
secured them by the constitution must
be surely given to them, as If God had
put upon their faces the color Of the
Anglo-Saxon race. They fought for
the flag in the war. and that flag, with
all 1t represents and stands for, must
secure them every constitutional right
In peace. -.
At Baton Rouge the first regiment
Of the Black brigade. before starting
for Port Hudson. received at the
hands of its white colonel-Colonel
Stafford-its regimental colors in q
speech from the colonel, which ended
with this Injunction:
"Color bearer. guard. defend, protect,
die for. but do not surrender those
colors.' - ,..z.,., / !. -. ..s...
ss,fo which the sergeant replied. ana
he was as black as my coat:
Colonel, I'll return those flags to
you In honor. or I'll report to God the
reason why"
He fell. mortally wounded. in one of
those desperate charges in front Of
Port Hudson. with his face to the enc
my, with those colors in his clinched
fist pressed upon his breast. He did
not return the colors, but the God
above him knew the reason why.
Against those who fought on the other
side in that great conflict we have no
resentment; for them we have no bit
terness. We would impose upon them
no punishment: we would inflict upon
them no indignity. They are our
brothers
We would save them, even from
humiliation. But 1 will tell you what
we insist upon, and we will insist upon
it until it is secured-that the settle
ment made between Grant and Lee at
Appomattox, which was afterward en-
bodied in the constitution of the Unit
ed States. shall be obeyed and respect
ed in every part of this Union. More
we have never asked; less we will not
have.

TELLS OF EARLY DAY STUNT
Professor Gr0mcr Describes BurleSqne
Parade Which Influenced VI. L. Name.

Stunts are not new thing ut the
University of Missouri" said Prof. =.
ID. Gromer. secretary of extension
work. Back in the eighties, the. presi-
dent of the University, wishing to OBJ
tain the good will of the farmers over
the state. changed the name of the
University to Agricultural College and
University of Missouri.
AT this time only a dozen students
were taking agriculture. They were
unpopular with the rest of the student
body. The new name caused a great
uproar among. the students.
When the uproar was at its height.
a legislative committee visited the Uni
yersity. The students arranged an as-
ricultural exhibit for their benefit,
with several floats in the parade. On
a load of corn medical students saw
ed off a mans leg. The engineers
were planning a bridge on load OF
hay. 4 lawyer astride mule was
hard n work on a ease. The commit
tee pronounced the show one of the
best they had seen.
THE next year the catalogue an
nounced the state University as the
University of Missouri.

the Annual School Election of said
school district will be held on
TUESDAY, APRIL 9TH, 1914,
commencing at Z o'clock n. m.. and
closing at sunset of said day, and that
the following propositions will be
submitted. tO-wit:
First-The election of two mem
bers of the Board of Directors to
serve three years.
SecOnd-TO increase the annual
rate of taxation (Which is fixed by
law at 30 cents) 60 cents on the SlOO

poses.
Done by order of the Board of Di-
rectors of the School District of Co,
lumbia, Missouri, at a meeting held
March 9th. 1914.
JOHN l.. HENRY,
Secretary.
y. B.-The levy submitted for school
purposes is not an increase over
that of last year but is an increase
over the amount that may be levied
by the school board without the
vote of taxpayers being had. Under
the law the school board can only
levy up to 4Oc on the 500 without
such vote. The levy submitted this
year is the same levy that has been
voted for the past four or five years

rate of taxation for school pur-
poses will be the same as in 1913.
