ATLANTA RAISES $8,900 IN ONE DAY
Atlanta, Ga , Dec. 13 — At a
mass meeting held at the Audito-
rium yesterday, at which over 5000
people were present, colored people
of this city laised £8900 to erect a
Y. M C. A building. Tiie ground-
has alreadv been purchased. The
architect's plans call for a $100 000
building.
The meeting was one of the most
remarkable ever held in this city.
All the churches, schools, colleges
etc . were represented The Gov-
ernor honored the meeting with his
presence.
Negroes Again Register io Carolina
Atlanta, Ga — The unrest that
has been felt in South Carolina at
the prospect of the Negro vote once
more becoming a political factor in
that Stat" was emphasized at the
registration office in Charleston not
long ago. The registrar had more
difficulty in completing registration
than he had experienced for a long
while. It is felt that this was due
in some measure to the number of
Negroes in line. As matter of fact
the number of Negroes who regis
tered was not large — perhaps 20 out
35° Charleston, however, it
is regarded as remarkable that any
Negroes should be in line. What-
ever the reason, to the Charleston
News and Courier it "ought to be
more or less illuminating to those
who are under the mistaken idea
that the Ntgro has permanently
laid aside political ambition. He
hopes the solidarity of the whites
will be terminated some day, with
the possibility that in every election
he may hold the balance of power "
Nothing will be more remarkable
than that Negroes should do just
that thing through educational and
property tests. They are making
greater progress each year.

A RACE QUESTION AT ALL
^NEW YORK WORLD |
Delegates to the national Repub-
ican convention, to be held June 7
at Chicago, will be chosen upon a
basis of representation never before
recognized American political
affairs Until now all parties have
provided that in uational conven-
tions the number of delegates from
each State should be twice the
State's total representation in both
houses of Congress. Next year's
Republican convention will have
four delegates from each State,
doubling the number of Senators,
a delegate from each Congressional
district, and an additional delegate
for each district in which the
Republican vote in 1914 exceeded
7.500
This is the so-called reform that
resulted from the srlit in the party
in 1912 when Roosevelt denied the
validity of a Presidential nomina-
tion secured bv votes of delegatc-s
from the South A committee of
eminent lawyers, Chas. B. Warren
of Detroit being chairman, decided
that only a national convention had
power to make this change in the
representation, but it has been
brought about, nevertheless, by the
national committee, supported by
the favorable action of Republican
conventions in 22 States in which
the chief strength of the party is to
be found.
As national conventions are laws
unto themselves, we shall hear no
more of the legal aspect of the case.
The thing is settled, and under the
new system abo'it 90 df-legates will
be missing from future Republican
national conventions, all but a few
of them fiom the South, the few
Northern absentees, singularly
enough, being from New York.
Nobody in or out of the Republican
party has ever denied that this
reduction of Southern representa-
tion is due to the conviction that
delegations from that quarter com-
posed chiefly of colored men are too
easily controlled from Washington
when the party is in power and too
susceptible to corrupt influences
whether it is in power or not
Such ati indictment ot a race bv
a political machine which cherishes
the memory of Quay and Hatina
need not now 5>e discussed What
is more to the point is that an
organization calling itself the Re
publican partv wipes out in its own
behalf the 15th amendment, which
the supreme court of the United
States, presided over by a former
Confederate soldier, recently re-
affirmed. Even more significant is
the fact that in normal times there
are half a dozen great Northern
States in which the Republican
party would be in a hopeless minor-
ity except for the colored vote.
The " reform " adopted by the
Republican national committee is
the "reform" proposed by Matthew
S. Quay, the Pennsylvania boss,
when he used tt as a club in 1900
to compel the McKinley administra-
tion to accept Theodore Roosevelt
as a candidate for Vice-President.
That is the paternity of the most
revolutionary change made in the
organization of Republican national
conventions since the nomination
of Abraham Lincoln.
If the World were not openly
supporting President Wilson, it
would be surprising to see it trying
to make a race issue out of the
committee's action. It is not a race
question at all, or one which should
cause the least dissatisfaction to
colored voters. Every sane man
knows or should know that the
Southern Federal office-holder usu
a'ly a delegate to national conven-
tions has no business to vote for a
nomination of candidate foi Presi-
dent when his constiueuts cannot
vote to elect him. The action of
the committee does not in the least
affect the coloied vote in the North,
East or West— Amsterdam News.

In Memoriaiii Dr. Booker T. Washiufton
Died November 13. 1915
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst
And you who knew this not at first
Did hunger after righteousness.
Holding no dream of one to hleas.
Poor and naked, a widow's son;
Despised, unfit life's race to run.
Blessed are they who rnonri Yon wept
For the world as yon slowly crept
From a hovel and faced the night—
Barefoot leader of men to light.
<iod laughs when man makes up a creed
To stop the growth of wisdom's seed.
Social convention, social scorn.
Fails wlien He says a man is bo*n.
Blind, you were by the spirit led:
Hungry, you were bv the spirit fed.
Only by faith could purpose hold—
Only in dreams were sates of gold.
The meek ihall inherit, yon heatd.
Deep in your heart you hid the word.
And worked with faith sublime; un-
spoiled
Bv praise or blame, you upward toiled.
Hate nor fear ever dimmed your face:
You, like Moses, must lead a race.
From shackles worse than iron bands
Must free their hearts, their minds,
their hands.
Because you dared yonr dreams to hold
The world now writes your name in gold
Blest are (be pure in heart You've trod
With golden sheaves to meet your God.
William Nacnb Kicks.
ZION NOTES.
The Christmas tree given for the
children by Miss L. Miller and Miss
Mercedes Hill from the proceeds of the
Christmas entertainment was indeed a
success. The profusion of gifts and
candy, the excellent junior programme
and the fine attendance all combining
to produce the hest results. Both the
young ladies received the thanks and
congratulations of the church, through
the pastor.
December 26 was Christina" Sunday,
both the morning and evening services
hein^ uniformly well attended. The
evening servi es were a discussion of
Paul'p famous advice: "Quit ye like
men — be strong." The elucidation was
admirable, the moral well received. A
quartet composed of Mrs. We Is. Mis-
Emu a Scott, L. Lyons, and W. Smellie
rendered appropriate inng'c, assisted bv
the choir, while Mrs. Kit<-h»n preside"
at the organ.
Monday, Dec. 27, a ma-s meeting of
Negroes, acting in conjunction with
George H. Thomas Post, G. A. R., pre
?ented a petition to the board of super-
visors for the prohibition of further
exhibitions of "The Clansman" in San
Francisco. The delegation, consisting
<>f local i asfors, attorney. , and other
intelligent and patriotic Negroes, wa
well received by the supervisors, and in
onr next report we expect to tie able to
show a successful tight for decency well
woo. God bleos the canse.

YEARLY SUBSCRIBERS
We add a few more names to ou
vearly in advance subscribers thi9 week
and we are pleased to do so. They are
needed in our business to help the
cause along and we welcome them, and
return thanks for the following:
MRS. F. AUSTIN.
For this one we should have made
an acknowledgment before this, Mts.
Austin has favored us several times
and we look upon her as a good friend
to the paper. She is a member of
Bethel church, and a useful worker in
the same and as president of the church
aid soeiety has pro.-ed helpful in many
way8- She is employed by the Metro-
politan insurance company as a caterer,
serving lunch daily for its large number
of clerks and officials, and she has made
a decided success of the same, and
through her enterprise s'ie has made
openings for a half dozjn people. Surely
this is doing good, and we congratu'ate
her, and also upon her being enrolled
among our j-earlies.
EARL LEANER.
This young man caiue 10 onr assist-
ance this week by paying $2.50 for a
year's subscription, He is employed as
an operator at the Union Square build-
ing, whore he has a record to his credit
of several years, and where, through
strict attention to business and most
gentlemanly conduct, he has made for
himself a number i>t friends. And we
want to say further that he has not
only favored us before with his yearly
subscription, but he ha-* also given us
his patronage in the line of advertising
and assisted the pape' with his support
in many ways. For all of this we lake
pleasure in recording our thanks, with
the hope that the incoming year will
bring blessings s -id rewards.
CHRIS TULl,.
This is another name that has been
on our honor roll list for several times
and we are again pleased to have it

iike him which »e could connt upon as
regulariy, our peace of mind would be
more dependab'e, and results Would be
better. A hard-working, industrious
citizen, Mr. Tull never complains about
the payment of his subscription, but
rather seems to take special delight in
handing over Ins $2.50 to up, fee ing
that be has done a gocd deed thereby,
and the same sentiments are shared by
us. Also, he has done us a good turn
by sayiug a good word for the paper
