What is the market? Why are hard times? Modern hard times, especially in the United States. are very different from the hard times which Joseph had in Egypt. The crops failed, there were seven lean years. and the Egyptians were hun gry because there was little to eat.

DR.. v. c. PARKS OF
PH|LA., PA, NOTED
BAPTIST, IS DEAD
Had Just Returned Home from
Nation Baptist Convention
In st. Louis.
WAS STRONG CONTENDER
FOR PRESIDENCY
Believed Disappointment And
Long Trip Responsible for
His Death.

Philadelphia, Dec. 23-Following
close after the adjournment of the
Forty-second Annual session of the
National Baptist Convention which
closed here last Monday night, word
was received in St. Louis Thursday
of the death of DR.. w. G.. Parks, who,
1t is said dropped dead at his home
Wednesday shortly after his return
from st. Louis where he attended the
Baptist Convention.
The news of the death of DR.. Parks
comes as a great surprise to the Bap-
lists throughout the country, as he
was nationally known because of his
official connection with the Church.
He was Vice President of the Nation
al Baptist Convention for IL years,
and was President since September
5th following the death of DR.. E. C.
Morris. Many regarded him as being
the logical successor of DR.. Morris.
He was a strong contender for the
Presidency during the recent Conven-
ton and was defeated by DR.. L. X.
Williams Of Chicago by only 30 votes.
It was generally believed that the
strain caused by the disappointment
together with the long trip affected
him greatly.
DIR. Parks left st. Louis last Mon
day night after busy Sunday, dur
ing which he preached two sermons
one at Central Baptist at IL o'clock
and at the Tabernacle Baptist in the
evening. He seemed to be in high
spirit throughout the day. He was
6S years old.
Convention Closes
Nothing occurred during the Forty
second session of the National Bap-
tist Convention which was held at
the Kings Theatre last week to mar
the business or pleasure of the many
delegates and visitors.
DR.. L. X. Williams of Chicago was
chosen president to succeed the late
DR.. E. c. Morris who died last Sep
tember. DR.. w. G. Parks of Philadel-
phia was a strong contender for the
honor having received 760 votes while
DR.. williams the successful candidate
received 100 votes. DR.. G.. Taylor Of
Louisiana was elected Vice President
and R. B. Hudson secretary, and all
the old officers.
The next session will be held at
Los Angeles, California.

COIOTed Students
To Be Segregated
Action Taken on Recommends
tiOn of the instruction Com
mittee Over Objections

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 23.-The
Indianapolis board of school COM
missioners voted unanimously last
Tuesday night for establishment of
a separate high school for Colored
pupils, who are now scattered among
the present high schools. The action
was taken on recommendation of
the instruction committee and over
the objection of Colored residents
who attended the meeting.
The probable location of the school
which is to be new, modern and well
equipped. will be at the old county
workhouse grounds, Northwestern
avenue and Twenty-first street.
Delegates from various Colored or
ganizations protested vigorously
against segregation. DR.. A. J. King,
charged that 'insidious forces" were
behind the move for segregation, as
serting that these forces "have spread
to your Chamber of Commerce"
The Rev. II. L. Herod, said that
the Colored citizens are not especial
ly concerned about the high school,
but are vitality interested in knowing
how far the matter of segregation
will be carried.
"Will the advocates of segregation
want 'Jim-Crow' cars next?" he de-
manded.
DR.. King, speaking in behalf of the
Better Indianapolis League, asked II
the proposed school would provide for
each of the three courses that were
now provided for in Shortridge, Man
ual, and Technical. He offered statis-
tics to prove that not single city in
the country had ben able. to provide
funds for the equal maintenance of
separate schools and it was always
the Colored schools that suffered.
Revs. Herod, Berry, Atty. Bailey, and
others made strong speeches against
the proposal.

A raid several months ago on a

The Bridgeman meeting. Burns said,
was largely for the purpose of put
