ART VS.. PREJUDICE
From N. Y. Age.

Aside from Caruso, there is no
singer in this country who can
draw a larger and more enthusias
tic audience than John McCor-
mack, the great Irish tenor. Not
only are all of his concerts PACKED
to standing room. but the phono-
graph records of his songs sold by
the thousands.
On Sunday, Mr.. Mccormack
gave his seventh recital of the sea-
son at Carnegie Hall. His pro
gram consisted of nineteen mum.
bers. And now, the remarkable
thing about his program: six OF
these nineteen songs were the pro-
duct of Negro brain. Five of these
songs were by FL. 4 Burleign, who
has already taken his rank among
the foremost American composers
The other song was by Enrique
Granados, the eminent Spanish
composer, but the lyric was the
work of James w. johnson, CT
The Age staff.
This Incident should prove a
matter OF encouragement to the
whole race, especially to those with
artistic ambitions. Itshould mt an
great deal to know that in the
greatest concert hall in the couu-
try, a great singer renders a pro-
gram which, out of nineteen num-
bers, contained six which we're the
work of Negro brain. 1t shows
that in art, at least, their is little
or no prejudice.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHiAS cELE
6RATE WITH GREAT EcLAT.

The thirty-sixth anniversary of the
the Court of Calanthe was celebrated
last Sunday at the Peoples Presby-
terian Church with large attendance
of members and spectators.
Led by the Queen City band from
their lodge room, 1884 Arapahoe
street. the combined lodges of Nos.
5 and IL marched through the prin-
cipal streets of the city to the church,
where the service began at 2:30 p. m.
The church was comfortably filled
and the program was carried out sue
cessfully-the pastor, Rev. ]. A.
Thos. HAZEL and his choir contribut-
ing in special manner by the very
able address and fine rendition of ap-
propriate songs, while the orator OF
the day, Attorney W. B. Townsend OF
Lodge No. IL made quite an impress
sion on his auditors on the principles
of the order, and Mr.. Wolfskill and
Mrs Irene Fife, X. p. and Calan-
THAN, respectively, delighted with vo-
cal solos. The master of ceremonies,
Mr.. F. T. Smith, conducted the pro-
ceedings very creditably and in neat
little speech invited the audience to
join the noble order of which they
were proud to celebrate. The offer
ings taken up we're presented to the
kind
ness in entertaining the order for this
event -
A special feature was the uniform
rank, who presented a fine aspect,
the day being such an ideal one for
the reflection of the suns rays from
their attractive uniforms, which cre>
ated quite a spectacle.
The officers of the day and COM
mittee for the event we're as follows:
]. w. Hardy, chancellor commander;
F. T. Smith, master of ceremonies;
]. w. Taylor, marshal; Edward John
son. prelate; Charles Reed, master-at-
arms; ]. l.. Burnett, w. III. Lee, A. X
Butler, G. w. Davis, T. E. McClaln.
Having worked increasingly for the
brilliant success attending this annual
event, too much praise cannot be
given these men who had the privl-
lege of representing the management
of Damon Lodge No. 5, Pythias NO.
IL; also Courts No. 276, Columbine,

VOTE DOWN BILL FOR
NEGRO BISHOPS

Philadelphia, Pa BY vote of
157 to SO the Philadelphia Con
ference of the M. E. Church de-
feated the amendment 10 the or
ganic law of the denomination,
paving the way for the election of
Negro bishops.
The amendment, known as the
Bishops for Races and Languages
proposal, has already been adopted
by a number of white conferences,
as well as all colored ones that
have met SO far this year. 1t is
expected that the Washington
Conference at its session in Rich
mond, Va, this week, and the Del
aware Conference, which meets in
this city next week. will vote for
its ratification.
The discussion at the Philadel-
phia Conference was long ard
animated one. DO we draw the
color line?" asked the Rev. Or.
Frank F. Parkin, in voicing bis
opposition. Yes, we do draw the
color line. We want no Jim Crow
bishop, term that has frt quently
been use1 in such discussions as
this in the last few years.
II am friend of the colored
man, but we cannot deny or con-
ceal that racial pr. iudice exists.
We know that there is no posi-
bility of a coIored mans being
elected bishop by our General
Conference, nor OF colored bish-
op presiding over the deliberations
of our own Conference. l say, let's
stop playing the hypocrite,
let's stop playing double
and tell our colored brethren
the truth. If there comes
a day when we can tind colored
man big and broad enough to bo-
come the equal of a white man,
then let's have a colored bishop,
but not until then" He also said
that the time must come when the
colored churches must form an or
ganization of their own.

pervision," said the Rev George
ID. B:ckey, land we assume that
