September list, Say the
Contractors.
HAVE you PAID YOUR PLEDeE9

In spite of the extremely warm
weather for the past two weeks the
Hospital Collections have not been al
lowed to lag and the Committee is
putting forth a strenuous effort to
collect sufficient funds to meet all out
standing obligations. A number of
people perfectly able to pay their
pledges in full have been Withholding
their payments for some reason and
the collectors for the Hospital are 60
ing after them next week in a Wig
orous manner. A man or woman who
does not pay their pledge makes him
self small in the eyes of his fellows
and at the same time lays himself
liable to being sued for the amount
of the pledge with interest added at
the rate of 6 per cent. DR.. Perry,
our brilliant surgeon and physician,
has denied himself much needed rest
and vacation throughout the extreme
warm weather to be able to render
every possible service to the compile
ton and equipment of the hospital, and
he has earned the gratitude of every
thinking and loyal Negro citizen in
this community by his intense devo-
tion to this much needed institution.

Franklin, Vice Chairman T. B. Wat

DID THE PARK BOARD
MAKE SUCH AN ORDER?

Mrs. Julia Morrison, a property
owner and taxpayer, and one of our
most cultured and respected Colored
ladies, was sitting in the Paseo be-
tween Ninth and Tenth streets last
Monday morning reading newspa-

man came up to her and rudely or
dered her to vacate the seat she was
occupying and leave the Paseo with
the remark that You Niggers are not
going to light in this Parkway be-
tween Ninth and Twelfth streets,
and when she demurred and tried to
question his right to order her from
the Park he became threatening in
his manner, drew his blackjack and
started to strike her. Rather than
suffer violence at his hands or be
Inundated by being placed under ar
rest for no other reason than trying
to breathe Gods pure air on very
warm and sultry day, Mrs. Morrison
left the park and through her hus-
band is preparing to file charges
against the brutal watchman and also
to recover damages if possible from
those putting such vicious unwar-
ranted and illegal order in effect in
this city. Surely the Negroes pa

The Benefit Concert given by the
Soldier Boys and the Twelve Charity
Girls Friday, August 8, at Academy
Hall was a grand success. The Sol
dier Boys under the leadership of
Prof r. G. Jackson with the assist
ance of Mrs. Jackson who is #. C. G..
rendered very pleasing musical pro-
gram after which the dance started.
DR.. 7. G. Unthank and Mr. Felix
Payne rendered invaluable assistance
to the girls in helping to make it a
success. A few reports are out but
the following is a partial report:
Door receipts, $500; Ice Cream

cations made by Mrs. Morrison will
suggest to you the Importance on an
immediate conference with the Park
Board. In fact Mrs. Morrison's re-
cital impels me to ask you in conjunc-
ton with Mr.. Nelson Crews and Mr..
James A. Lee to act as a special COM
mittee to take the matter up with the
Park Board.
Your suggestion that the Park
Board probably has not issued any
such order as mentioned in Mrs. Nor
rison's letter, makes it all the more
imperative that the matter be called
to it's attention. If it is the act of a
subordinate, the Park Board should
at once know the fact.
shall thank you to arrange con-
ference with Mr.. Crews and Mr.. Lee
as soon as possible to take steps to
investigate the matter. l am writ
ing to notify them of this request.
Kindly preserve the enclosure for

My dear Mr.. Crews:
Enclosed please find a copy of a
letter / have written DR.. Thompkins
relative to the matters alleged in Mrs.
Morrison's communication to the Lea
que and about which we conversed.
You will agree with me, l am sure,
that what is related in Mrs. Morri-
sons letter ought not to obtain in any
American City at any time and cer-
tainly not in times like these. Where
they never have obtained, it shouold
be impossible for them to be thought
of, certainly not sanctioned, by any
public official.
shall thank you to cooperate heart
lily with DR.. Thompkins in bringing
this matter to the attention of the
Park Board as soon as possible.

Sodden with blood and beastly massacres;
The tyrant who mistakes himself God,-
The great Colossus of the universe;-

The Anarchist, the grasp power;
The lust for fame, the greed for tarnished gold;
The of Juggernaut, the wooden God;
The of Omar and the synagogue;
The Christian Temple and the shrine,
The unbelieyer and the atheist,
And all whose faith and conduct
Are in the racial ferment strangely blent
When whewinged dove of peace

sAvE PAPER. BARucH uReEs
War Industries Board Chairman Ess
sues Some New. Rules 20 Follow.

War Industries Board Chairman Isa
sues Some New Rules to Follow.
Chairman B. NJ. Baruch, of the war
industries board, has had drawn up
the following seven suggestions to
business men for the saving Of Office
stationery: Write single space. ex-
cept between paragraphs. Write on
both sides in case of long letters.
Use half or two-thirds sheets for
short letters. Where possible elm
mate excessive advertising and long
lists Of officers and directors from let
terheads, especially where changes
are likely to occur.
Use 16-pound paper and the small
'est sized envelopes required by the
Enclosure. Use the backs of letters
being answered for the purpose of
making carbons. Use postcards for
Acknowledgements. Watch your waste
baskets, and use the spoiled sheets
and backs of envelopes for scratch
pads.
These suggestions are along the
lines of those recently adopted by
government Offices, and their general
adoption, it is believed, would result
in the saving of large tonnage of
high-grade paper, conserving pulp for
war purposes.
