EOUL INFLUENCES THE MISSIONARY BAPTIST
Progressive State Convention OF Arkansas Sure Success.
Convened With the First Baptist Church, Helena, Arkansas
Of Which Dr. G. A. Long is Pastor

named convention. These great men
and their advice electrified the entire
convention.
The sermons preached by DR.. f..
II. Cook, Rev. y. Nichols, r. S.
Elmore and the president of the con-
ycntiOn in the person Of Dr. j. p.
Robinson, were excellent. We refer
particularly to the sermon preached
by Dr.. f. A. Cook which was the
educational sermon, for the reason
it was u master piece. 1t demon
srated to those who heard it that
the doctor was the man of the hour.
The convention raised in round num-
bers, $500. All phases Of our work
were represented, both state and Ma
tiOnal in the disbursement. Presi-
dent NJ. c. Gaines held an executive
session of her Board and formulated
plans by which the Baptist Women
of Arkansas might raise their pro-
rata of the ten thousand dollars on
the training school which is located
at Nashville, Tenn. In the same
session they collected $35 for the
prosecution of the State work. The
leaders of these various state organ
izations shall never forget the kind
and hospitable way that Dr. G. A,
Long and his members and friends
cared for the convention. The con-
vention closed its session with a
deal of enthusiasm and encourage
ment to begin another years work
DR.. F. II. Cook and the Shiloh Bap'
tist Church of North Little Rock will
entertain the 1918 session. More tC
follow.

Patience and Loyalty.

Negro leaders stand together as one
man on the question of loyalty to the
country in the present crisis. They
are everywhere telling the masses of
colored people to be patient, very
patient. They believe that God will
soften the hearts of men and make
justice prevail. They are urging the
common people, however, TO make
big sacrifices to secure education, for
they believe that education will win
for them far more than charity or
legislation.
; Negro masses still stand sorely in
need of adequate school training
They are unorganized in their rural
Isolation as farmers or farm laborers
They believe in the white man who
shows even a slight, unselfish inter.
est in them. They are extremely
conservative and "long-headed." They
have a rare sixth sense and sense
danger easily.
To those who know some of the
deeper thoughts of the ablest Negro
leaders and realize how many are the
handicaps and hardships of the Ne
gro masses, it is not surprising that
unrest, which comes as the result of
fear,-fear that property may be de-
sstroyed or that life may be taken by
"a lawless mob,-should prevail and
that thousands of Negroes, good as
well as Indifferent or worthless
SHOULD move into communities where
wages seem to be high and where
there seems to be more protection for
life and property.
In the light of these facts, it is
scarcely necessary to introduce the
German agent to explain Negro dis
satisfaction. Those who have known
Negroes for years and years and have
had the opportunity of sharing the
confidence of their leaders, have i'm
plicit belief in the Negroes loyalty
Those who know Negroes-ranls
and file as well as leaders-scout the
rumors that German agents have, Oh
have had, any appreciable influence
among American Negroes.
The German agent is o unit in a
complex organization. He deals best
with those who are organized or can
control organizing forces. The Negro
while highly gregarious, does not be
come unit in an organization thai
stands for anarchy, for disloyalty tc
\ Church or State, or for any rene
y grade purpose. WIN. Anthony Aery

Some of the reasons given as the

MEHARRY ORCHESTRA CONCERT

That the student body is interested
in the perpetuity of the good name
of the school is again demonstrated
by the efforts put forth to keep the
public eye focused upon it. AS a
means of recreation the musically in
clined students maintain first class
orchestra. They decided that they
could make this past time profitable
by giving concerts for the school.
/ The object selected is an effort to add
to the sum Of the Meherry Endow-
ment Fund. 1t will be remembered
that every student in the school con-
tributed his mite to this worthy cause
few months ago and after they gave
from their scanty purses, still they
found the sum short OF 81 1000 mark.
The Faculty, Alumni and a few
friends have already paid in about
$S400, but the desired $4,000 is
not yet in hand. The aggregation
composing the orchestra want to
supplement the sum already in hand
by this concert effort. The Nashville
public has always been generous and
the Meharry boys are expecting a
large number of Greater Nashville's
music loving people to crowd the
Auditorium. Others concerts may be
given in other sections Of the city and
even in other cities.
There will be Thanksgiving serv.
ices in Meharry Auditorium, Thurs
day morning, beginning at 10 o'clock
But what have we for which to bt
thankful? High cost of living
scarcity of food, coal, etc.

Shame on Colorado's DeIeea-
ton to Congress

Congressman keating's weekly
letter has arrived telling why he
voted against the bill to establish
a system of obtaining recruits
for the American army, but pre-
ferred to depend upon chance.
Mr.. keating will not be per-
mitted to use up any good space
in this newspaper telling why he
has opposed everything that the
government land most Of the
people, have thought necessary
during this crisis. Sometime ago
he tried to explain why he voted
against declaring that a state of
war existed. The Blade has pub
lished many letters from WASH
ington, written by Congressman
keating, but we are likely to
turn over a new leaf and publish
a few from Congressman Timber
lake. Mr.. Timberlake, elected
on the Republican ticket, is sup
porting the President in a pat'io-
tic manner.
Congressman Hilliard and Sena-
tor Thomas appear to be doing
what theY can to place stumbling
blocks in the path Of the stars
and stripes. On the other hand
Senator Shafroth and Congress
man Taylor are loyal.
This Is a percentage Of $3.50.
This government would make a
pitable sight in the eyes of the
world if the delegation from all
other states were equally divided
against upholding as peaceable a
President as America ever had
in the most dire crisis since the
days of Abraham Lincoln.

COSTLY STREET-CAR TICKET
Brought One Thousand Dollars in To-

Cross Society.

Many unusual contributions have
been received by the various local
Red Cross societies and patriotic
funds in Canada since the war began.
From Indians in the far North TO
the children in back-comtrv schools,
the Canadian public has taken a gen.
crous interest in this necessary wur-
time work, although the gifts they
have sent have almost rs often as NOT
been III some other form than money.
Into the Office of the Manitoba Rcd
Cross society there came one day in
April a small box of anrmoucs. each
flower carefully packed in wet cot
ton. \ letter incloscd with them
explained that they had been picked
out on the prairie by some school
children, who wished them sent 10

fund. Their desire was carried ont,

Ee Patriotic and Pay
Your Military Poll Tax

Every male citizen of the State
of Colorado above the age of
twenty one years, unless specif-
cally exempted by law. is requ;r-
ed to pay military poll tax of
$l.0O. The assement is made by
the cuunty assessor, and turned
over to the county treasurer for
collection. The money raised by
this tax goes to the Adjutant
Generals department for the
support of the state militia which
is now being recruited to its full
war strength. The money is ur-
gently needed for the proper e.
quipment and care of the troops.
In 1910 there were 27l 600
males above the age of twenty
one years in Colorado. Only l2O.
600 of these were ass, ssed by the
county assessor with poll tax in
the year 1916. The county as
SCISSORS have been urged to obey
the law carefully and assess every
man in their counties subject to
this tax. The governor is especi-
ally anxious that all persons sub
Ject to military poll tax should
pay such tax in order that the
revenues for military purposes
may be increased. The assessors
have been advised to certify at
once to the comfy treasurer the
names of men twenty one years
of age. and over, subject to the
military poll tax and not having
other property. The treasurer
can therefore proceed Immediate
ly to collect the tax fron these
individuals who are likely, some
of them at least, to be out Of the
county on January lst when the
general tax roll is delivered to
the treasurer. Pay promptly,
therefore, when you receive your
notice from the treasurer. This
is no time for slackers.
