ELLA B. HAYES

The Peoples Angelic Spiritit
Council and the PHI. pure In
Hearty Steering Committee,
Mrs. Mary j. Alleyne, chair
man, and her committee pres
ented Mrs. Ella B. Hayes, So
prano and elocutionist in a
song recital. She delighted the
audience which almost filled
Fourth Methodist Church Sun
day in Boston. She demonStra-
ted in her recital that she had
complete control of her voice.
Mrs. Hayes is an artist pupil of
Claudius Broadfield, Boston.
She i sthe type of singer people
like to see as well as to hear.
The singer was most effective
in her major solo from the
Opera Nina" and when she
reached the elocution part the
audience was taken into an
other field of accomplishments.
The artist showed considerable
imaginative insight. This was
Mrs. Hayes first recital and she
did very well and she should
continue to study singing. The
audience was most generous to
both the soprano and to John
Murray, violinist, who is an ar
fist at the early age of sixteen.
The young musician with his
violin is one of the great treats
of any concert season. Both
were well supported at the
piano by Harold R. Evans.
Mrs. Mary J. Alleyne and her
Steering Committee presented
a recital which was both a fin
ancial and artistic success.
Early in April another soprano
from the Broadt1eld Vocal Stu
dio will appear in a song reci-
tai.

property, murder or civil war.
When such disorders reach a
climax governments change
hands, become disrupted and
are overthrow and so.ne
never before heard Of isms are
substituted in their place. We
are on our way.
The greatest menace to the
peace and harmony in the
United States is the -AraeTi-
can policy of the Solid
South" the greatest danger to
the government is the govern
ment sanction to the right OF
organized labor to strike. The
strikes in the war industry
make it unnecessary for me to
enlarge on that statement.
The leaders of Organized
Labor, now the dictatorS of
American industry, carry the
votes of the workmen in their
vest pockets (see The Standard
Times of Oct. 3, 1912, New Bed
ford, Mass.) to coerce labor
legislation. There has been
read into the records Of Con-
gress, that one affiliate collect
ed from the workmen one bill
lion and six hundred million
dollars in one year.
With the legal right to
strike, such a powerful organi-
cation could provoke a ciTl
war. Our Republic would be
wiped from the face of the
earth. That is the inevitable II
the government continues to
break down business and
blacklist our promoters of in
dustry who bear the response
bility and support of the whole
nation.
1t means also that one-third
of the people will be obliged
to support the other two-thirds
while the government blankets
the embarrassment with social
security measures. These are
simple repetitions of history
and the reason that Democracy
is not stable.
M. C. Burkitt, F. S. A., lectur'
er at Cambridge University,
England, asks: What do we
mean by civilization and what
constitutes one? The great es-
Sential is some sort of social
organization in which men can
live together for their mutual
advantage. There must be cp-
portunities for specialization.
without which improvements
can not come. There must be
leisure to think, to cultivate
the intelligence as we'll as the
practical abilities"

Now is the time of testing
Now is the opportunity FOR
proving the worth Of the vari-
GUS groups that make up this
America Of ours. Now is the
chance to show what we, as
individuals really are.
The war has struck home at
last. For the past year we
have seen more and more SOL
diers thronging our streets.
We have listened to pep talks
over the air. We have worked,
saved, bought bonds, entered
into all sorts Of war activities.
We have read eagerly or anx.
iously, as our personal lives
were affected, of victories and
defeats alike.
But TO many OF us the war
didn't really touch US until its
restrictions clamped down up
on our way Of life. Rationing
and rising prices have made
the war felt in all the homes
Of the nation-homes Of both
wealthy and poor, of learned
and ignorant, of city jewellers
and farmers, of workers and
employers, Of Black and White.
Whether we like it or not
we are united by common do
ing without. We have to CO.
operate or collapse. There new
er was a time when level heads
and cheerful heart were
more needed.
And herein lies an opportun-
ity. We have seen how selfish,
Self-Sseking individuals and
groups are condemned, how
the acts of a few thoughtless,
inconsiderate people have re-
acted on those with whom they
are grouped in the public
mind. But the reverse is also
true. We can Just as easily see
| cooperative, courageous, cheer
full people and cooperative
courageous, cheerful groups
praised.
You get the idea! Everyone
is jittery and ready to fly of
the handle today. No one
knows where he is at or what
the future will hold. Neighbor
looks askance at neighbor and
too many eye with suspicion
those not of their particular
class, creed or color.
Here is the opportunity. we
each live in a small commun'
ity-no matter how large tn;
city that surrounds us. Let us
stand out in that community!

sign OF keeping colored soldiers
out Of unSegregated colleges.
Several hundred colored
may be affected by this scheme
almost Immediately. Early in
March the Air Forces called to
active duty the entire waiting
list Of several hunIred quail
fed colored aviation cadet APP
plicantS. I am sure Of this be-
cause of my personal acquaint-
ance with several Of the men
who were near the bottom of
the list and have been called
10 duty. These are the men
who, after the usual prelimin-
airy processing, face the pros
pect Of fiv emonths under
graduate study at Tuskegee
before they begin aviation
trainig.
1t still remains to be seen
what will be done with these
men after they finish five
months Of college study at
Tuskegee Institute. A report
was sent from Tuskegee TO a
leading newspaper that some
Of these men are to become
bongardiers and navigators
There is no apparent truth to
this report. I can find no evil
dence from any source Of any
plan to train colored for bonn
bardment aviation, 1t seems to
me that someone has tried to
take the curse off Of this latest
Tuskegee outrage by circular
ing the false report that new
opportunity is being provided
for co1ored in the field Of bonn
bardment aviation. The Whole
thing smells very bad.
There is one further ques-
ton which We must ask and
continue to ask until an an
swer is given. What about new
colored applicants for aviation
cadet training now that the
waiting list is exhausted? I dc
not know of any plan of the
Air Forces for accepting or
using additional colored APP
plicants. VIII they be accept
ed? If so will they go on a
waiting list to remain there
until 1874? I know from expe'
rience that the Air Command
makes piecemeal special plans
for colored to meet the emery
ency at hand and then lets
the matter drop until another
emergency arises. There
agrave danger, unless the public
~xeeps the issue constantly
alive, that after the group
kaIed to duty in March, nc
additional colored aviation ca.
diets will be trained for a Ions
time to come.

(KNS) The recent War D.

was in keeping with the new
policy of having battallions Of
Artillery functioning with In,
fantry Regiments in the new
streamlined divisions which d.
better than the old divisions
which were unWeldly, according
to new tactics of war.
However, this order made Col.
onel Pitts and his staff of oflc,
ers surplus officers, and some 0!
these officers may be retired be-
cause of age. 1t also was an
order which abolished a colored
regiment which for years has
been famous.
This regiment is none other
than the Eighth Illinois OF Chi
cago. In the last World War
the colonel was Col. Dennison
and in France this outfit was
known as the 37oth Infantry.
1t is unnecessary to tell of its
brilliance. However, all military
men are sorry to hear that the
Eighth Illinois is no more, al
though for some time now, il
has been known as the 1S4th
Field Artillery.

County:

Some months ago I had pub
lished in the two newspapers of
this county the manner in which
l was regularly nominated by the
Republican County Committee,
which completely disproved the
false report being circulated by
rev Of my personal and political
enemies to the effect "that I was
running as an independent can
didiate for the office of Common

election>' and as a few of my
friends who were not readers of
the papers containing the publ
cation at the time did not see
the article and few of the I'M
scrupulous and untruthful sup
porters Of my opponents. in at
tempting TO mislead the few so
uniformed as to my regular
nomination by the Republican
County Committee, who wonder
why two Republican candidates
are running for the office of
Commemorative Attorney this
time, and for the benefit of those
so uniformed friends as to the
manner in which I was nominal
ed as the regular Republican can
didate for Commemorative At
torney, to be voted for at the
November election, I feel in jus
tice to myself and thase friends
that I should republish the SOL
emn declaration of the Republi-
can County Committee nominal
ing me as such candidate, and
should further add that the pur-
pose of my early nomination
being November 20, 1912, that
hundreds of our Dickinson coun-
ty prospective voters were at the
sine being indicted into the war
and taken away to the army and
navy for war services and need
ed assistance sin the way of
REGISTRATION which had to
be done in person and payment
of thir poll taxes in order to
vote; hence the necessity for
early action.
