More splendid in point of numbers
and enthusiasm than any gathering
which Dallas has entertained recently
Is the 43rd Annual Grand Lodge of
Odd Fellows which with the House,
hold Of Ruth opened its sessions Mon
corner of Good and Elm streets.
At the time scheduled for the OPEN
ing program DIR. r. T. Hamilton stepp-
ed forward upon the stage of the spa :
cious Temple Auditorium and called
the more than 1000 delegates and citi-
zens gathered there to order and
announced the opening musical num-
Der which was rendered by the choir
of Macedonia Baptist church.
DR.. e. Arlington Wilson offered a
splendid prayer and the following
program was continued. to completion
A splendid selection was rendered
by the choir of st. Paul M. e. church.
Prof. j. w. Rice. then welcomed the
Grand Lodge In behalf of the citizens
in short but highly acceptable
manner.
A soprano solo was rendered by
Miss Celeste Cole. Response to the
welcome was delivered by Mr.. Geo.
w Johnson of Corsicana. He reviewed
the history of the Order from the
start to the present time saying in
part that, Dallas though great in
size can well afford to welcome an
organization which in its short life
has wrought so well for those who
have made up its membership This
is a splendid city and no statement
can exaggerate its spirit of progress
and IL is more than pleasurable for
me, in behalf Of this Grand Lodge
of Odd Fellows to accept in the spirit
of the highest thanlSfulness. the hearty
welcome so fittingly rendered us in
behalf of its citizens"
DR. Al. H. Dyson was then announced
to welcome the delegation in behalf
of the local lodges. His utterances,
eloquent to the extreme were received
with hearty applause, Constantly
making use of the phrase, sits In
Dallas" he lauded its possibilities and
facilities for making pleasant the
stay of any visitors and assured his
hearers that everything enumerated
by him was at the command of the
Order which 1t was his high plea
sure to welcome.
A musical selection was then rem
dered by the choir of Bethel A. M.
q. church. So highly pleasing was 1t
that the audience called for an In
core which 1t responded to with an
other number no less pleasing than

SO the advocates Of the Idea of hav-
ing dark skinned man as a mem
Der of the legislature are making a

does not necessarily follow that they
will succeed and 1t Is possible that
some of the race voters may be tenn
porarily misled into Withdrawing their
support from DR.. Alexander, but Il Is
hardly probable that the "color-line"
proposition will win many serious
minded thinkers
Even the men who talking the loud
est about dark-skinned representa-
tive admit DR.. Alexander's brilliant
worth and value TO the race.

Hackensack. N. j.. Aug. s.--Accor-
ding to a story published under two
column head by the Bergen Evening
Record. this city, Negro Republicans OF
Essex county are in fair way to
make themselves extremely ridiculous.
They want to supplant Dr. Walter G.
Alexander of Orange. the first and
only Negro member of the New Jer-
sey State Assembly, and put in some
man who Is also a Negro but whose
skin Is Of darker hue than that Of
DIR. Alexander.
AS the first member of the race to
occupy seat in the legislative halls
of the state, DR.. Alexander has made
a splendid record. But because his
skin Is of color that does not par
tlcularly distinguish him from his
confrers in the Assembly, It appears
that some of the Essex county Negro
Republicans are intending to make
an effort to draw the color line.
The account states that they do not
want pale-faced Negro as representa-
tive in the legislature. and they be-
lieve that they will do the right thing
by letting the doctor stay at home
and sending man of ebony com
plexion--one who will be easily dis
tinguished as a race man by the most
casual observer. 1t is asserted that
this action is induced by the fact that

BY cHAs. w. ARLINGTON.

We are to deal with the English
occupation of Africa in our next ar
ticle dealing with the European oc-
patton of the Dark Continents; but
as we have had our attentions cali
ed to the gracious invitation from the
Emperor of Abyssinia in which he
calls us his brothers and invites us
to come and share the fruits of free
dom that knows no restraint In the
confines of his empire-many ques-
tions naturally arise in our minds
about that strange land. I plan in
connection with the Italian occupa-
ton Gas 1t is with those people that
Abyssinia proved its worth in modern
warfare) 10 enter into a more de-
tailed discussion of that country. We
simply pause here to note a few
facts about that empire that will en-
able us to consider the royal invita-
tation in its true light Abyssinia
holds the untrue position of being
the oldest-and most ancient kingdom
of Ethiopia with which the children
of Israel had frequent wars as well
as many pleasant experiences as
neighbors. 1t also came in bloody
contact with all the mighty nations
of antiquity they have persisted, Abys-
sinla still stands mighty power. This
country embraces an estimated area
OF $4,000 square miles, this is only
an estimate as the country has never
been fully surveyed. Nature has es-
pecially favored the country in the
matter of natural fortifications-it is
a great highlans region situated be-
tween the Red Sea and the great
Nile basin. 1t is said. from an aeoro-
plane the country would appear like
a hughe group of wrinckled knobs
on table land at an elevation of
1000 feet or more-many of it's peaks
are covered with snow. These peaks
in some cases stretched up to four
teen thousand feet and wear a per-
petual crown Of glittering snow. In
the rainy seasons mighty floods sweep
down their sides to the extended
plains below where the flowers bloom

the usual tropical products, higher up
one sees the vast grain fields, some
of the finest horses, cattle, sheep and
mules in the world--the horses rep
resent an especially fine type. The
country has most interesting inhabi-
tants. When Bishop Turner visited

gro ruler" the king replied by tell

vived the wreck of ages and the tooth
OF time down the centuries Is due to
their war like spirit--tbey have never
been conquered. When the battle has

cal Household Of Ruth. Her remarks
were highly pleasing and informa-
tive. Starting with the statement that
Dallas last month was the healthiest
city in the United States. she enum-
Grated the advantages which 1t offers
along all lines and particularly did
she mention the Negro business and
professional projects.
The remarks of Mrs. Morgan were
followed by q violin selection by
Madame T. w. Pratt accompanied by
Mrs. Mona Vaultz Pugh. For an en-
core Madame Pratt gave a piano Sc
lection no less highly enjoyed by the
audience than her violin selection.
The response to the welcome on be-
half of the local Households was de-
livered by Mrs. l.. M. Hughes of Cam
eron. 1t was masterful and highly
eloquent and more than once was in
which greeted its particularly pleas
ing sections.
A solo was then rendered by Miss
Odessa Stewart who responded to an
encore. Her rendition was particul-
arly pleasing because of the fact that
she was her own accompanist.
