THE NEGRO EDITOR.

The Negro editor has to make much
of the news he writes. The social
clubs, the church, the fraternal or.
CARNATIONS, all must feel his guiding
hand. He is expected to be in every
thing and run errands for everyone
send out bills for subscription and
have them ignored; do all the lying
for harmony's sake, get his dog
kicked around, and hold the sack.
He is guide, philosopher and friend
to those that are in trouble; mentor
and admonisher to those that are
about to get into trouble. The preach
er, the would-be-statesman, the social
climber, the dear girls, the wayward
boys; he must share all their troubles,
he is the confessor, the Negro boom
er, and the black goat, the door mat,
the rock of refuge, the lacky boy, and
the vicarous sacrifice. A Negro edi-
tor is the only creature in the wide
animal kingdom that needs the wings
of dove, the strength of lion, the
protective odor of a skunk, the
smooth crawling belly of the worm of
tn dust, and the aspirations of God.

AhS SoAOoy
Remember the "Get together
meeting" of the Forum at St. Peter
A. M. E. Church. Tuesday eve. Feb.
20.
Come in time to lunch, served by
the Forums young people; remain to
hear the program in the church au-
ditorium, and visit with the old friends
not seen before for months. Every
thing without cost.
The idea embodied in these meet
ings is to gather the people in great
body for an exchange of the social
amenities, exhibiting in its most cor
dial way the spirit of unity and CO.
operation which is the very founda-
ton of the Forum effort Light re-
freshments are served free and a
program more or less extensive rem
dered. A number of matrons and a
bevy of the young women and girls
of the Forum serve on committees
which are for the comfort of the
Forum guests There will be no
charge for admission. The basement
and auditorium of the St. Peter A.
M. E. Church will be used and judg-
ing by the attendance of last year,
will be none too large to accommo-
date the many who will accept this
opportunity to meet old friends and
emphasize their sympathy with the
Forum effort. Programs with the
names of those forming the various
committees, and containing advertise
ments of our business people will
be ready for distribution soon. Watch
for the date and save this night for
the greatest Forum effort of the
year.
w. M. Smith, Chairman.
Notwithstanding the elements have
seemed to be against the Forum for
the past two meetings, goodly num-
Der of the faithful were out at our
first session. These made up in en-
thusiasm what they lacked in num-
bers. On Sunday, Feb. 10 the Forum
will meet at Bethesda Baptist
Church, II Ave. and 9th St. So. A
meeting arranged by the Ministers
Alliance scheduled for the same place
will divide the time with the Forum,
and finish the End half with a pro-
gram, especially prepared. The Forum
will present Mrs. Katherine Campbell
in a piano number. Although limited
the Forums program will contain
most interesting matter and all are
urged to be out promptly at $3.50.

VlRGINlA'S POTENT AGENCY
FOR RACE ADVANCEMENT.
Efforts Of the Negro Organization %.
elsty Receiving Hearty Support.

BY N. BARNETT DoDsoN.
One Of the most helpful and infuen-
tial agencies for advancement In edu-
cation, business and social service In
Virginia Is the Negro Organization So
ciety, Of which Major Allen Washing
ton Of the Hampton institute Is presi-
dent. Through the efforts Of this or
ganization and the cooperation of the
people Of the r1ral districts the terms
Of many OF the county schools have
been heightened, better prepared teach
ers secured and better schoolhouses
provided.
The work of the society Is both edu-
cational and philanthropic. It has
actually taught the people how to help
themselves In the matter Of guarding
against disease, owning their homes
and securing funds for longer school
terms. During its brief existence Of
about four years the society has made
1t possible for the white people of the
various communities to see and know
more Of the handicap under which the
colored people labor-their struggles,
aspirations and achievements. Thus
the two races have come to know each
other better, and this has brought
about more friendly feeling between
the rural masses Of both races in the
state.
1t Is the aim of the organization So
ciety to have every secret or mutual
benefit society or club become mem
bers Of the one general body, just as
the churches Of the various religious
denominations belong to one general
conference, convention or assembly.
Upon the same principle as the
churches the societies may hold mem
berships in the organization society
without losing their individuality. BY
this method the spirit of cooperation
and mutual helpfulness L. felt through
out the state.
Besides the efficient leaders among
the colored people who are officials and
workers in the society, there are many
able influential and broadminded white
persons who are cooperating heartily
in the work. Major Washington was
elected to the presidency at the an
nual meeting Of the society held at
Roanoke, Va, in November, 1916. He
succeeded DR.. Robert R. Motion, who
had to decline reelection on account
Of his duties as principal of the Tuske-
gee institute. Major Washington is
keeping the work steadily before the
people Of Virginia and is formulating
plans for an effective spring campaign
In the state.

ing. Rev. ]. M. Henderson, the elo-

ENCOURAGE THE YOUNG

Encourage the young people, who
are interested in church and social
work. They need the advice and as

more experienced. Instead of such
being the case; it is often that rivalry
and agitation results, when the young
people make better showing than

DOUGLASS-LINCOLN,


The meeting (under the National
Equal Rights League and The Ma
tional Society for the Advancement
of Colored People, in honor of Lin
coln-Douglass, at the Assembly Hall
of the Court House, was not up to
the usual attendance, but it composed
most of the representative citizens.
Pres. B. S. Smith presided Invoca-
ton by Rev. D. E. Beasley. The
aims and objects of the organizations
and the purpose of the meeting was
briefly outlined by the chairman. He
made one of his eloquent addresses,
with fitting eulogy to Abraham
Lincoln and a review of the life and
struggles of Frederick Douglass.
Rabbi S. N. Deinard, who is al
ways ready to speak to Our people
presented the injustices heaped on
the Negro and Jewish people. He
proved that ignorance was the chief
cause, and closed with a strong ap-
peal to the colored people to "Slave
for the right and cry out against in
justice and persecution.
Mayor Thomas Van Lear was greet
ed by an enthusiastic audience. His
remarks were full of inspiration and
encouragement. He paid a loyal
tribute to Abraham Lincoln as the
representative of the working class,
product of crisis, which caused
the emancipation. Speaking of Fred.
Douglass, he said: Douglass de-
serves more credit than the white
men who arose to high positions. It
is great pity that he had obstacles
placed in his way. 1t is Our shame"
Mayor Van Lear registered singing
abuse against his critics, who ques-
toned his patriotism in his stand for
peace. He referred his record as
soldier in the U. S. Army and his
services in Cuba. He said that he
had shown the "big fellows, the
silk hat crowd" that he was Mayor
of Minneapolis, and they could not
run the city. They found no fault for
80 days until they attempted to
create sentiment against him.
These zip soldiers" are using the
Flag for advertising purposes" He
dwelt at length on the valor of the
Negro soldiers, and told of his per-
sonal experiences with them. Mayor
Van Lear closed his remarks with an
expression of confidence in the Ne
gro citizens and his highest apprecia-
ton of the privilege of speaking to
them, especially on this occasion.
Miss Eva B. Walker, read a poem
by Dunbar on Frederick Douglass.
Miss Marienne Jeffrey rendered a
piano selection. Mr.. w. R. Morris
was one of the speakers.
The resolutions committee, Chas
S. Smith. John M. Allison, w. NJ.
Smith drafted resolutions on the death
of late Bishop Alexander Waters. A
committee as follows was appointed
to represent the Negro citizens in
the movement to build a Lincoln
Monument at Gateway Park, which

The high cost of living is a blessing
in disguise to many of our people.
1t is lesson in economy taught by
experience to be practiced with eff
ficiency. They have too often, &C
cepted the Injuries and rejected the
necessities. The tables are turned
and instead of idolizing the vanities
of an existence, they must idealize the
realities of life. Put more brains in
your business, and you can and will
overcome the Universities, that beset
you in every walk of life.

First, these forms of belief are net
of the essence of faith and may
have nothing to- do with it.
They are merely tee pot in which
the plant has grown and the pot
may be burst because the plant
has grown too large for it. Neve-
confnse the passing forms of belief
with the abiding substance of faith.
And second, trne faith and com.
plete knowledge can never conflict.
A young man thinks he has ceased
to believe because he thinks be
knows. 1t is simply pecause he
does not yet know enough. AS
Lord Bacon SAID, "a little knowl-
edge leadeth away from God. Much
knowledge leadeth back into his
bosom" Therefore, apply intelli.
gence thoroughly and fearlessly to
religion. If the process be pur.
sued honestly, with slngle-eyed
passion for the truth, Christ will
prove himself to mans soul as
its one true master Bishop Chas.

The rose that smells the sweet
est is the first to fade, The boy
who runs the fBstest is the one to
soonest jade. The brightest of the
evenings has the gloomiest of the
dawns. The man with the biggest
yards must cut the biggest lawns.
The peach that is the biggest has
the fattest worms Of all. The fellow
who gets on in life is sure to get a
fall. The soup that is the clearest
is the first to show the flies. The
fellow who would sell the goods
must pay to advertise. The hen
that lays the largest egg will be
the first to set, and things we sl-
ways banker for are the last of all
we get. The Simplest way is al.
ways the best, and yet we pass it
by, to dabble with the tinsled
things that fool and catch the eye.
