THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO
LIFE.

Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie H. 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 a 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 young.
The wig wearing, gum chewing,
beer smelling, mouth running, street
trotting, home neglecting, convention
fever type of women are out of style,
and from them may we soon be de-
livered.

There are scores Of women who are

there seems to be an awakening, a re-
alization Of conditions as they exist.
Nothing is so hopeful concerning the
progress Of people as the desire for

says Mrs. M. @. Lawton, organizer for
the Empire State Federation Of Wom-
ems Clubs, after attending a recent
meeting in New York, where a club
was organised and named for the Or
ganizer.
Mrs. Lawton finds that there is a
strong desire among the women Of the
section Of New York city, which she
visited, for social contact. They need
both encouragement and proper lead
ership In order to bring about better
conditions in their home life and to
use their time and talents In the right
direction for community uplift.
The M. G. Lawton Mothers club Ia
composed Of members Of the Derrick
chapel in West Sixty-irst street, New
York, the Rev. ]. G. Lawton, minister,
and Of others in the neighborhood. The
officers Of the new organization are:

NOTE OF PRESIDENT
CONTINUED from Page One)

anteeing there will be no repetition OF
such q tragedy as the sinking of the
Iusitania, the diplomatic construction
of vital issues raised on points of mar
thine law probably will not be respected
bv the American government, if, as
many diplomatists think Germany
would of her own initiative suspend all
submarine attacks on merchantmen
even if of belligerent nationality
whites notes are being exchanged.
The president appeared somewhat
relieved of the strain of last week. This
was due to the fact that there probab-
" would be no further development m
the situation until some intimation
came from Ambassador Gerard as to
how the officials of the German gov
eminent Informally regarded the tone
and requests of the note.
Secretary Bryan received a message
] from Ambassador Page at Rome, say
ing the note which had been addressed
to the American embassy there to be
forwarded by telegraph had arrived at
> D. M today and that in an hour ana
forty minutes it had been copied ana
relayed to- Berlin by telegraph VIA
Vienna The reason for the delay was
not stated. but state department mes
sages have frequently been held up IN
their circuitous routes because they
are in code and require careful send
ing to assure accuracy of the cipher
groups The note had been sent over
the French cable from New York to
Havre and thence by telegraph through
France to the American embassy at
Rome. Inasmuch as it would require
a few hours to decipher the note, it
was believed by state department Off
Gals that it would not be ready for
presentation until late this evening, and
unless Ambassador Gerard had ar
RANGED special engagement with the
foreign minister it probably would not
be read 20 Mr.. Won JagOW until to-
morrow.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador. called on Bryan with the
express purpose of warning him that
none of the published stories were true
which purported to give anonymous
views of members of the embassy staff
To the effect that Germany would re-
fuse to meet the American notes sug-
gestions. He asked the cooperation Of
the state department to prevent the
spread of this INSTRUMENTATION. and Sec
rotary Bryan made immediate an
nouncement Of the request. The Ger
man ambassador told inquirers later
that he knew absolutely nothing of the
position Of his government because he
had received no communication, and
naturally would not until the note it
self had been presented. He declined
to discuss lis own views for publica
ton. Some of his friends indicated
later that the ambassador was pleased
with the friendly tone of the note, and
was himself hopeful, and confident
that the questions in dispute could be
satisfactorily settled through diplom-
acy.
