The interest which our people are
taking in matters of public moment
In regard to their rights as citizens Is
becoming more and more intensified.
They are using to good advantage
the right Of protest against wrong and
petition for relief granted by the fed
eral constitution. Results are being
obtained along many lines where in
justice, like a wolf, walks in sleeps
clothing to strike down the innocent
without warning.
Once more by the united efforts of
our people the photo play known as
"The Birth Of Nation" has been re-

dispatch from ]. Thomas Harrison.
editor Of the Cambridge (Mass.) Ad-
vocate and national committeeman
for Massachusetts,, representing the
National Negro Press association, to
N. B. Dodson Oct. 20 stated that the
colored people Of Cambridge, minis
ters and business men, led by T. 8
Harten, appeared before Mayor Rock
wood at the city hall and protested
against the play above named being
permitted to show in one Of the thea
ters in Cambridge and that, after
hearing the objections to the play, the
mayor refused to let the promoters
stage the play In Cambridge.
The people had become aroused as
to the danger and injustice Of the
show to the colored people through
the editorials of Editor Harrison In
the Advocate. Thus again the power
Of the press in behalf Of justice has
brought good results.

OF school At the death Of his father
In 1880, leaving his mother and two
sisters, the support Of which fell upon
his shoulders, It was question wheth-
er he should stay home and support
them or return to Tuskegee and COM
plete his education.
He wisely chose the latter course.
and in December. 1891, he entered
Tuskegee, his old home and school.
Since he had no funds and no one to
help him he set about to learn the
printers trade at Tuskegee. which he
did In 1893. He had charge Of the
Tuskegee printing Office during the
summer months and was for several
years business manager Of the Stu

school. Graduating from Tuskegee
with second honors in 1895, he was

Savings bank and private secretary to

In this capacity that the call came to

Accepting this position, he entered
upon his duties in the fall Of 1897. He
was gratified to take up bis new work
because there were several Tuskegee
graduates there. The principal of
Christiansburg, the late Charles L.
Marshall, was roommate, classmate
and lifelong friend, and Anna Lee
Patterson, who afterward became his
wife, were classmates, and there were
three other Tuskegee graduates at this

Dangers of the City Streets.

There will be surprise that the
deaths by automobile accidents in
Philadelphia reached the high-water
mark during 1914. The total, so far,
is fixed at So, which is higher than
in any year since the automobile has
come into general use. On the other
hand, IS persons were killed by troll
ley car accidents, az against 70 in
1913. During the year we have had
quite campaign in the interest of
the safety first movement, and it
was fondly expected that there would
be a decrease in fatal accidents all
along the line. That this is not the
case is probably as much the fault Of
pedestrians as of the drivers of cars.
In any event the figures for the year
show the need of further education

Unemployed in Milan, Italy


At the outbreak of the war in Eu.
rope thousands of Italians who were
at that time employed in the adjoin-
ing countries of France, Switzerland
and Austria, and also to some extent
in Germany and Russia, were repatri-
ated. The estimated total of these
repatriated subjects now in Milan and
other cities of Lombardy is 100000.
The majority of them are without
regular employment, and to this vast
number must be added other thou
sands who have either been thrown
out Of employment or who are work
ing at reduced time as result OF
the depressed conditions in several In
