RACE NOTES

A decision rendered in the courts
of Chicago recently sustained the
demurrer and recognized the Ma
tional Baptist convention, of which
Rev. E. P. Jones of Vicksburg was
elected president. This decision is
against DR.. Morris's branch of the
split convention. The latter had
been president of the organization
many years.
George Mclean, rs years old, is
the oldest colored sailor out of the
port of Philadelphia, having sailed
the seas for sixty years. Despite
his age, his services as an active
seaman are more in demand than
those of any other seaman touching
at that port. He is never out of
work. He has been in several
shipwrecks, and had many narrow
escapes from death.
John Jay Lindley (white) is a

COMMENT

We long to see the time come IN
this city when colored people can
be drawn out in large numbers to
something else besides society (?)
ball or a rag-time bali. Things
which are elevating and educating
should and do find favor with the
people who think and know what
constitutes distinction or greatness,
but it seems that those who do not
think will continue to founder in
their ignorance and self-conceit.
Portland Advocate.
We are afflicted with the same
disease here.
The matter of employment has
become a serious problem to our
race about the bay. Many excel
lent men are out of work. Hard
times and the race haudicap have
much to do with this condition.
One would think our churches
and congregations would be excel
lent tendencies to race unity, but it
seems that it is just the opposite,
as experience shows that we are
divided up into cliques. and each is
knocking the others, and no enter
prise commands a united race.
This fact was shown recently when
a committee undertook TO arrange
a memorial programme in honor of
the late Booker 7. Washington,
which they found necessary to
make so lengthy that every one
was tired out.
Those who would vote at the
Presidential primaries must register
now.
Alameda county, always storm
centre Of political activity, will elect
two State Senators, eight assembly
men, two superior judges and three
supervisors.
That the race is suffering for
want of intelligent, aggressive lead
ership IS apparent to the thinking
portion. Many opportunities have
been allowed to slip by, and our
young people are drifting from bad
to worse. Vice and immortality are
more alluring than righteousness
The sensational rotices the race is
receiving in the press are doing us
more harm than The Clansman. +"

BISHOP WALTERS STILL HOPEFUL
| AMSTERDAM NEWS.

'If colored people in Southern States
would show an inclination to vote the
Democratic ticket, it would be the
means OF putting an end to much of the
disfranchising there" said Right Rev.
Alex. Walters of A. M. E. Zion church.
The bishop and his wife were guests on
New Years day Of Mrs. l.. Cowan of 16
Downing street. Brooklyn. Others
present were Philip Thorne, Rev. Lee,
Louis Lattimer. Rev. Stephen McNeill,
DR.. Holt Of Baltimore, John Robinson.
Mrs. Cowan began the exercises by
calling on John Robinson, city editor of
the Amsterdam News, who said in part.
I'm 1912, when prominent colored men
in various parts of the country asked
colored voters to split their vote and
not give 1t to any one party, be thought
it was good thing, for then it would
make this vote demand. But since
the result of the present Democratic
administration under President Wilson
had been 80 disastrous, he wondered if
any colored man anywhere would have
the temerity to ask the colored brother
to support the Democratic candidates
if they did, upon what Issue did they
expect to ask that support7"
1t was to this that Bishop Walters
made the statement referred to above
and his stirring speech was many times
applauded. He declared that he bad
been generally criticised because his
position was not understood, and that
many of his critics had closed their eyes
upon what accomplishments for the
good of his race he had made under the
present administration.
MANY things" he said. "migbt have
beeo done by the Wilson administra-
tion for the colored man. but they have
been blocked by Republican members
Of Congress to rob Democrats of the
credit"
The bishop called attention to the re-
appointment of Judge Robert Terrell
which he himself brought about. and
the absence of Senator Root of New
York when the nomination was con-
firmed. He also said that Secretary OF
the Treasury McAdoo, who is accused
of segregatiDg, had promoted more
h. L..
than Secretary McVeagh, who was in
Tafps ceblnet. He said that colored
Democrats in the 1915 campaign would
support Northern candidates upon the
Democrstic ticket and all others who
stood for fair play.
The bishop closed his address by ask
ing that the National Afro-American
council be reorganlzed.

Smith Johnson was initiated in the
Order of Knights and Daughters of
Tabor. A member of the degree
team wore a sword, on which John
son tripped and the blade penetrated
his body. The case has been in
court for months. The orders
defence was that there was nothing
in the ritual that called for a mem
Der to wear a sword, and that the
member who had it was responsible
for the accident, and not the lodge.
Notwithstanding this, The supreme
court of Texas ruled that the
Grand Temple Of Knights of Tabor
must pay Johnson $12,o 900 for his
injury.

GEORGE BEBAN TO STAR
IN A PLAY OF ITALIANS
Stirring Drama of Modern
Times is to Be Issued by
MoroSCo.

AS its next offering on the Para
mount program, the Oliver Morosco
Photoplay Company announces
George Beban in "Pasquale." STIR
ring drama of modern times, written
by the star in collaboration with
Lawrence McCluslty.
In "Pasquale," George Beban Is
displayed in what is felt will prove
his greatest vehicle ever presented
either on the screen or stage. The
story has to do with the lives OF a
Woodworking and kind Italian gro
Ger and a wealthy banker, both of
whom are called to the other side
to defend their colors. The many
dramatic qualities of the plot are off,
set by various incidents of unusual
heart interest, which are brought out
to particular advantage and in a
manner such as only George Beban
can present.
Aside from the merit of the story
itself, the production offers many
qualities, the combination of which
results in making this one of the
best subjects yet given to Paramount
patrons by Oliver Morosco.
