The question of who built the pub
fishing house of the National Bap-
fist Convention unincorporated seems
to have been settled. Everybody
seems to have agreed that DR.. R. H.
Boyd was the business genius of that
mammoth enterprise, but another
question arises that is equally as in
teresting, and that is, who will build
a publishing house for the National
Baptist Convention incorporated,
have they got man equal to the
task? One of the chief arguments is,
that Boyd did not build the one that
Is already established, but that 1t
was done by the people, and they say
that they have the people. rne ar
gument of our incorporated brethren
is, that they have the people. That
is, that they have the people. Then
pie built that one, evidently the peo-
pie can build another one But the
point is, that they have neither the
people nor the business genius around
which the people will rally.

ADVISES AGAINST LABOR
rYNyINNC
UNIONS.

Birmingham, Ala, July 22.-The fact
that union leaders in Birmingham were
moving heaven an dearth to organize
the Negro workers in the steel ana
iron and coal mines in this district
while they were counseling the white
laborers to murder Negro laborers IN
other sections of the country led Dr
A. G. William, during his sermon sun
day at the Sixteenth Street Baptist
Church to advise strongly against al
filiation with the labor unions. "There
is nothing for the Negro in white
labor unions" said DR.. Williams. Con-
tinuing he said:
In its province the white labor
union Is inimical to the Negro laborer.
We have our problem which we must
work out for ourselves and by our
selves. If the Negro laborer must or
ganize, let him organize himself, and
then not to antagOnize capital, but to
work out his own peculiar problem, to
promote efficiency, and to secure more
benefits for himself and his family
through cooperation and sympathy OF
the employer.
1.-THE Negro will never gain any
thing through the white labor union
He will soon find that in them he can
go so far and no further. If the Negro
must organize let the organization be
purely a Negro one, Differed by Ne
groes and working only to promote the
Negroes efficiency and welfare. Every
Negro endeavor should be centralized
and the time will come when 1t will
be, but it must be through a leader
ship that knows and understands the
Negro and not through a Leadership
that in one community courts him
| and in another counsels his murder
| The Negro will never accomplish much
trying to follow a leadership that HI
neither loves nor respects, and IL
which he has no confidence. Under
the nature of things there is nothing
in common between the Negro laborel
and the white Union leader"

tor OF the Peoples Defender that 1t
would be better even for some great
man Of the Baptist world to rise up
and build 8 seminary for the Bap-
lists, than not to have one at all.
They have grown mighty uneasy that
some individual will get the title to
a school, or to a great Baptist enter
prise. Better that we have great en-
terprises controlled and owned by
either Baptist individuals or Baptist
boards than not to be owned and
operated at all. Our incorporated
brethren have already raised howl
about what we are going to do, and
about who is to own that theological
seminary. Let the editor Of the Peo-
pies Defender kindly suggest to our
incorporated brethren to proceed and
build them a theological seminary,
fix its title and plan, and operate 1t
to suit their individual whims and
ideas of business and UNCONVENTIONAL
government, and don't worry them
selves to death about how the con-
vention unincorporated is going to
manage its affairs. Terribly alarmed
are the brethren who have never &C
complished anything about the peo-
lple, about what interest the people
have in UNCONVENTIONAL enterprises.
The people will never have any enter
prises to have any interest in, If we
are to follow the lead of men like Nor
ris, Booker, Griggs, Searcy, Isaac,
Parks Williams, Barber who seem to
be shiftless set. At any rate, a set who
is entirely inadequate to the task OF
bringing about great things for the
denomination. That has been proven
beyond a reasonable doubt. The Ma
tional Baptist Convention un-incor
porated will look after the title ant
, operation of its theological seminary
Don't be uneasy, my brethren, of in
corporated fame, there are enough
men of business forethought to kin,
of look after their affairs, and evel
: if we vest the title in one man, what
that to you? Go ahead, build yo,

IN MEMORY,

In memoriam of our dear husband
and afather, Earl Owens who departed
this life June %, 1917.
One month has passed,
And no one knows how we miss you,
You were so good, kind and true;
God alone for He knew best, -
Called you to that home of rest;
Twas bitter grief shock severe
To part with you, whom we loved so
dear.
We miss your coming footsteps,
We miss your loving voice.
Home is not what it used to be
Since you are not there,
Our hearts are filled with sorrow,
Our eyes bedimmed with tears,
O, II we only had you with us
Our sainted husband and father dear
Your face beams before us,
From a portrait on the wall
That is all that is left to cheer us.
Since you answered your last call.
Friends may think the wound is healed
But little do they know the sorrow,
That lies within our hearts concealed,
You are gone, but not forgotten.
And never shall your memory fade
Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger,
Round the grave where you are laid.
From his loving wife and daughter,
Mrs. Alberta Owens.
Miss Mamie Owens.

WHOSE NEW COLLEGE IS THIS?

Under the above heading or cap
ton, the Baptist Vanguard quotes the
American Baptist as asking that very
pointed question referring to the Ma
tional Bap. Theological Seminary to
be established at Nashville, Tenn. by
the National Baptist Convention I'M
incorporated. The American Baptist
may be perfectly honest in asking the
question, but we doubt the sincerity
of the Vanguard in re-publishing it..
The Vanguard feels that she has
found stalk of nettlerash with
which it can tickle and irritate the
Baptists of the country. So far as
our incorporated brethren are con-
cerned, they ought to kind of be quiet
for they have had twenty years trial
in building, or attempting to build a
theological seminary, and they have
never established one, either regular
or irregular, that Is to say, they have
never established one as the proper
ty of the convention or the prop
erty of board, or the property of an
individual, even though they had a
bonus of $50, 100000 offered them by
the white Baptists of the country to
assist in that laudable enterprise. It
appears that IL they were so stupid
that they could not with all of those
advantages, build theological SEM
mary of the most ordinary kind, that
they are wholly unprepared to give
any kind Of advice as to how the un-
incorporated brethren should pro-
coed in the erection Of their theolog-
ical seminary. It appears to the edi-

camp comfortable had progressed
rapidly enough, decided to give the
men their first extended leave since
the camp was established.
Physical examinations are still GO

examinations already taken, the camp
