Dear Mr.. Smith, am in receipt Of

NATIONAL BAPTIST EXHIBIT
ATTRACTS WIDE ATTENTION.
Governor Of Michigan Praises Work of
Our Largest Publishing House.

Chicago.-ThOusands of people in at.
tendance at the Lincoln jubilee cele-
bration, now In progress In this city,
have viewed the splendid exhibit of the
National Baptist Publishing board OF
Nashville, Tenn. The exhibit Is In
charge Of an experienced display man,
who is employed constantly at the pub
fishing house. In addition to the ex-
hibit at the Coliseum. where the jubi-
lee celebration is in progress, this in
stitution has an additional exhibit at
the Eighth Regiment armory, where
the national Baptist convention opened
its thirty fifth annual session on Wed
nesday morning, Sept. 8.
One Of the most attractive features
of the exhibit is the uniqueness with
which 1t is arranged and installed 1t
shows a graduation In efficiency In the
art preservative. having on display the
productions In mechanism and literary
art from the smallest postal card to a
mammoth leather or morocco bound
book, the entire exhibit being the work
OF members Of the race employed In
the institution
Spectators have fingered long and
admiringly at the skill and mechanical
perfection displayed In these articles.
Their admiration increases when they
are told by the instructor that every
one Of the vast number of people EN-
ployed at the Nashville institution
came to work without experience at
any firm or institution in their particu-
lar line of work. The exhibit shows
samples Of twenty three different song

LEADING POINTS IN
FILM PLAY DECISION.
Board Of Censors Acts In Defense of
All the People.


The Hon. Charles G. Williams, chair
man of the board Of censors of the
state of Ohio, in rendering the decision
OF the said board Sept. % prohibiting
the so called moving picture show,
"The Birth Of a Nation" from being
played In Columbus or other cities In
the state, in part says:
1t devolves upon me as a member OF the
Ohio board of censors to render my indi-
vidual decision as to whether or not the
film. 1.-THE Birth of a Nation" should be
approved or rejected.
Many protests have been brought to our
attention from sources that indicate that
the entire colored race and those especial
ly interested In their advancement Sc
riously object to said film. Governor
Frank B. Willis has repeatedly called the
attention OF the board to the fact that
many protests against this film have been
entered in his department
He has also repeatedly requested that
this board give said film very careful at
tention. and IL 1t should be found to be of
such a character as to reflect upon the
colored race and tend to arouse racial
hatred and prejudice, as claimed, he has
urgently recommended that we reject the
same
On the other hand the owners of said
film have filed quite a number Of recon-
mendations praising this photo play. 1t
Is claimed by many reputable individual
citizens that said film ought to be eXhib-
tied because of its dramatic and historical
value. It. is urged that 1t is the most
gigantic production from the standpoint
OF stage and spectacular achievements the
film industry has vet produced.
After having very carefully considered
the arguments pro and con and having
RInCaIU In said i'm xuall lie
cussed the merits of the same with the
other members of this board (who have
equally considered all matters pertaining
TO the same) / now render my decision
looking to the things portrayed in the film
itself, 1t will not be disputed but that II
has a great dramatic value and is stupen-
dous from the standpoint Of camera
achievements. On the other hand. by no
stretch of the imagination can we get
away from the fact that II reflects I'M
favorably upon the colored race.
1t is claimed that the film should not
be Objectionable because OF the time that
has elapsed since the period when these
episodes were supposed to have taken
place. With this / cannot agree. Many
soldiers OF the civil war are still living
both In the north and in the south. This
film cannot but open the wound of i'll feel
ing between them and their offspring
Not only does Ii rekindle the feeling of
sectional hatred, but Ii strongly tends to
arouse hatred and prejudice among the
coming generation against a race that is
living in our midst. 10000 OF whom are
In the state OF Ohio.
There are several millions Of this race
In the United States, and since the con-
stitution OF the United States guarantees
them equal rights and having taken an
oath to support this constitution, l con-
slider 1t wholly unwise. unjust. dangerous
and harmful to officially approve a film
that reflects upon them and incites hatred
toward them retarding them In their
progress as this film does.

NATlONA. BAPTIST NOTES.
President E. c. Morris Issues Open
Letter to the Denomination.

President e. c. Morris Issues Open
Letter to the Denomination.
Helena, Ark.-The Rev. E. G. Nor
ris, D. D., president of the national
Baptist convention. has issued an open
letter to the Baptist churches and Sun
day schools Of the United States, in
which he calls attention to the new
publishing board which has been locat-
ed at 400 Gay street, Nashville, Tenn.
with S. P. Harris as secretary. DR..
Morris says that it was necessary to
take this step because of the fact that
a rump convention was held in Chi
cago in September which claims to own
the National Baptist publishing plant.
The letter also says that the new
board will supply the schools and
churches with literature until matters
are in shape for the denomination to
get that which rightfully belongs to it.
1t will be remembered that at Chicago
In September the national Baptist con-
vention split mainly, so it is said, on
the question of the publishing plant in
regard to the ownership and control,
with the result that a new publishing
board was appointed.

appropriately in keeping with the

ers at its regular meeting on Friday

Mr. Williams of Marysville will lead

splendid work for the young people.
The Sunday School put itself on
record by electing for President, J. H.
Burrows. Brother Burrows is doubt
less the best that could have been Sc
lected for the position.
Rev S. w. Hawkins was unani-
mously elected moderator of the
General Baptist Association. No one
was deserving this distinguished honor
more than Beth Eden's pastor; for the
pastor, deacons, and church did every
thing in them for the comfort of all.

All persons who hereafter order their
