 Bay State Capital.

Boston, Oct. 26.-Surgeons who have won distinction at home and abroad will conduct a number of clines arranged as special fea- ture in connection with the sixth an- nual clinical congress of surgeons of North America, which opened here yesterday with an estimated attend ance of 1,5O0. Attendance, it was explained, had been limited to this figure in order that all members present might witness operations in the various Boston hospitals during the meeting, which is described as one at which things are done rather than said.
 Morning and afternoon clinics will be held as the principal part of the program, which will be concluded with the election of officers on Thurs day.
 At general meeting of the con- gress last night Dr. Charles H. May, or Rochester, Minnesota, was inau- gurated as president to succeed Dr. John 5. Murphy of Chicago.

The con- stitutional amendments are for the referendum, new taxation scheme, home rule for cities and parole in criminal cases. The referendum plan is practically the same as that fol- lowed in other state, except that the Maryland proposition includes a pro- hibition against the use of the refer endum in any local option or license legislation.

Active and Useful Career Of Mrs. Eu-

Washington.-Aside from their ac-
tivty in educational. religious and SO
cial uplift work, many women Of our
race are engaged in some line Of profit
able business. This is one of the sub
stantial evidences of the encouraging
progress Of the race which Is receiving
much attention from the public press.
Whenever a woman goes into business
she Is almost sure to open the way for
one Of her sex to get employment in
the same line of business, of whatever
kind It may be. They are contributing
In no small way to the home and COM
munity life of the race throughout the
United States. Their influence In all
well organized movements for racial
advance is being felt for good.
Among the many well educated, in
dustrious and capable women in this
city who are making their mark in
business and In the religious and So
cial life Of our people is Mrs. Eugenia

THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO
LIFE.
Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie II. Burroughs.

The moral phase of the Negro
problem is the most serious part of
the whole aggravating question. To
improve the standard Of the life Of the
masses is the only solution.
As with other races, the standards
in the homes are set up by the women
who preside over them. Therefore
to bring about reform the woman
hood of the race must be taught
how to instruct their children in
those virtues, that have made the
most advanced races what they are.
We are prone to think that the
Negro is by nature religious and
therefore moral. He is both; but he
is not enough of either when it comes
to living up to fundamental principles
every day life. Because of his crude
conception of what the Christian re-
ligion really Is he too often practices
one thing and breaches another
Often the foremost woman in the
church is so far from a model for her
less ambitious sisters that they look
with contempt upon her and dis
credit religion. This misrepresenta-
ton of the genuine article takes many
forms and sometimes the one woman
is a combination of all. She allows
beer drinking, card playing, and rag
time music in her home. She is loose
in her conversation. Her language is
often smutty. Her demeanor be-
comes a woman of the street. Her
home is hangout for sliding elders"
and loafing, hungry preachers. Her
house is poorly kept. Her children
are too young to be men and wom-
en- and too old to be children. They
are therefore, TIE freshest things in
the neighborhood. They run the
church. They sit in the front heat.
chew gum, talk and keep their gang"
giggling. To speak to them is to
throw a match into a magazine of
powder. .-.- ........ .~
These wise and talented youngsters
of the leading sisters, get into the
choir and start trouble for the Choir
listers They get religion and start
trouble for the deacons. These chill
dren of too many of those who aspire
to leadership in our local churches
presume too much on the standing
and influence of their mothers and
give our churches all kinds of trouble
What we need is a new type Of
women in our homes as mothers,
and a new type of women in our
churches as leaders and examples for
the voting.
The wig wearing, gum chewing,
beer smelling, mouth running, street
trotting, home neg1ecting, convention
fever type of women are out of style,
and from them may we soon be de-
livered.

Lawyer w. r. Morris is with the
"Dry" faction. This has caused much
comment among many of his "wet"
brothers, who regard him as big
Negro. He is a recognized leader
and prominent in fraternal circles OF
his race. Mr.. Morris is teacher in
the Plymouth Congregational Church
Sunday School (white) and is total
abstainer. We have no record OF any
speech made by him in this campaign
against the saloon evil, and If such
is a hindrance to the Negroes he
should advise them to vote against
it. We admit that his white brethren
would rather have him do this and
the Negroes would profit by having
him as teacher in one of their Sum
day Schools.

new JERSEY BAPTIST STATE |
CONVENTION TO MEET OCT. s
Bethany Church at Newark to Enter
tain Big Religious Gathering.

The annual meeting of the New Jer-
sey Baptist church and Sunday school
convention will be held for one week.
beginning on Tuesday, Oct 5, at the
Bethany Baptist church, Newark. N. j..
Of which the Rev. DR.. Robert d. Wynn
Is minister. The first day will be de-
voted to Sunday school work. Among
the important matters to engage the
attention of the delegates after the
general literary program will be the
election of a president to fill the vacani
cy caused by the death Of the late and
much beloved Dr. William p. Law
renee, who was president Of the Sun
day school department for many years.
Wednesday, Oct 6, the woman's aux
iliary to the church convention will
meet. The officers Of this department
are working zealously to make the ses-
sion interesting and helpful to the
members Of all the churches In the.
state connected with the convention,
An effort will be made to raise large
sum for home missions and education.
Women's organizations In all the
churches are urged to send their full
number Of delegates and liberal con-
tributions for the objects here named
The main body Of the convention
viii convene on Thursday. 1t is pre-
dicted that many important questions
as to the future policy Of the conven-
ton In relation to its jurisdiction as a
state body will come up for discussion
It seems that when vacancies occur In
the ministry Of any Of the churches
outside influences control the actions
Of the members Of such churches In
the selection of minister to the ex-
clusion Of any advice or consideration
Of the state organization.
The Baptist church is free to select
its own minister without consulting
any one except It's own membership.
This is right. and no one who Ia well
versed In the doctrine or polity Of the
Baptist denomination will for mo-
ment question the authority Of a
church of this faith to select its own
minister. but In the present crisis It
seems that in some instances due cour-
tesy has not been shown to the state
convention in such matters.

THINKING WHITE" DOWN
SOUTH.
(From The Out1ook.)

(From The Outlook.)
What do the best white people of
the South today think of the Negro?
What is their attitude toward Negro
education? What is the real temper
of the leaders in the New South?
What do they think about Booker T.
Washington's work for Tuskegee and
the advancement of over ten million
Negroes? The Rev. DR.. John E.
White, of Atlanta, Georgia, fearless
exponent of thinking white in the
South" recently stated and frankly
answered the incisive questions be-
fore several thousand Northern and
Southern Negroes who had assembled
in the Boston Symphony Hall, prim-
arily to hear DR.. Washington deliver
his presidential address to the six
teenth convention of the National Ne
gro Business League. DR.. White
said:
The relation in the South between
the races has never been so happy as
it is now. Never has the outlook
been so prosperous. The people OF
the South are thinking white" that
is, the leaders are giving expression
to the best sentiments. The South is
now looking upon its millions of Ne
groes, not as a liability but as an
asset. The South is training the Ne
gro for success, for efficiency. The
South sees that it is common sense
to help the Negro. When the Negro
owes something, then he is respected
White people down South think
that the Negro is a man. They are
saying this out loud. They are pray
ing God to help them deal with the
Negro on the basis of humanity
They think that the Negro is dis
tinctly a Southern man. predict
that the time will never come wher
three-fourths of the Negroes of thi:
country will not be found in thu

FOR GREAT MACKMAN
Such Is Rumor ConvuIsing YAM
KEGS Camp When Huston
Goes to See Athletics.

SAVANNAH. March 5.-"Home Run
Baker may still be seen in the Yankees
lineup. The latest word Is that Fritz
Maisel and a cash bonus may be given
for the Giants link.
Reports that j. Franklin Baker, the
ha I'd hitting third baseman OF the Ath-
letics. was headed for the Yankees were
further substantiated when it became
known that the real visit OF Captain
Houston to Jacksonville was for the
purpose of dickering with Connie Mack
for tho Home Run King. The Ath-
letics are doing their training in Jack
sonville.
When Huston left for Jacksonville
on Tuesday. he announced 1t was for
the purpose Of meeting his partners
in hts Havana Construction Company,
but 1t has developed that Huston Sc
lected Jacksonville for this meeting,
so ne also would be in a position to
confer with Mack.
The reports. which are couvulsins
the camp, are that Huston LETT for
Savannah prepared to offer $4,000 and
Fritz Maiscl to the Athletics for Bak-
er. 1t is figured that with Maisel. the
speed marvel. thrown in to bind the
bargain. the Philadelphia fans would
not put up much of yell. as next to
Baker. Maisel is the most spectacular
third baseman in the American League.

II he intended to play baseball this sea-
son, declared that he would not play
with the Federal League. Stovalrs
visit to Trappe last week was in the in
terest of the Feds" but he was coldly
received by Baker.
Baker was asked II ne would play
for the New York Yankees. and said he
would play for any team In organized
baseball that would pay him the salary
he demanded, provided they could OBJ
tain his release from the Athletics. lie
also put at rest the rumors about his
quitting on account of the sale of Eddie
Collins to tho White Sox and the rumor
that he would not play with I-ajoie.
Baker said Lajoie was one Of the best
friends he had in baseball. He said he
quit because he felt that the money he
was receiving from Connie Mack did
not justify his remaining in baseball.
adding that IL Mack would raise his
salary he would rather play for him
than any manager in the game.
Baker said II ne remained at home
this summer he would try and organize
an Eastern Shore League, consisting OF
clubs In the six most prominent towns

set the Easton fans wild. and arrange
ments are now being made to finance
