TOO BUSY TO ATTEND
WOMEN'S CONVENTION
Mrs. Ruth Wallace, who was ap
pointed by Governor Neville as a state
delegate to the National Association
of Colored Women, which convenes in
Denver next week, will not attend be
cause of the demands made upon her
at this time by her duties on the Board
of Public Welfare. Her efficient work
is winning well deserved commenda
tion on all sides. She is planning to
open within the month cooking schools
at the various churches, in addition to
her other work. She has also been re
quested to give cooking lessons at the
detention hospital. In recognition of
her efficiency her salary has recently
been raised.
GIVES FINE RECITAL
The recital given in the chapel uf
Trinity cathedral last Saturday night
by Mrs. Estella McCoy, pupil of Ben
Stanley, was quite largely attended.
Mrs. McCoy’s work, both in voice and
at the piano, was brilliant and stamp
ed her as a coming artist. She has
splendid poise and composure and her
interpretation of each selection was
excellent. While she was pleasing in
all perhaps she appeared to best ad
vantage vocally in her rendition of the
aria from “Faust,” "Gentle Flowers.”
Congratulations are due both Mrs.
McCoy and Mr. Stanley, her teacher.

from this college.
WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAV
One of (he War’s Effects
One of the effects of the world vai,
the industrial training being given to
many enlisted and conscripted Colored
fighters by Uncle Sam, is likely to
have a highly important bearing upon
the industrial and economic statu, of
the race with the ending of the war
and the return to the ranks of peace
ful endeavor of most of these trained
artisans, who will then aspire to and
be able to fill positions that they were
r.ot able to fill before.
The importance of this possibly
large body of skilled Colored workers
upon the economic status of the race,
the nation, the community and the
labor unions can hardly be overesti
mated. Rightly directed and given a
square deal such a- body of skilled
workers would achieve wonders for
both the race ami the country.— Ths

TAUGHT JACK JOHNSON
Miss E. M. L. Webb, Who Has Had an
Interesting Career, Spends
Week in Omaha.
Miss E. M. L. Webb of Biloxi, Miss,
representing the McBrady company o!
Chicago, enroute to Denver, arrived
in our city Friday night and has been j
a guest at St. Philip’s rectory. Miss :
Webb has had quite a varied and suc
cessful career as a teacher in Texas,
Florida and Mississippi. She began
teaching at the age of 16 in Galve
ton, Tex., among her first pupils be
ing Jack Johnson. ' then “a manly,
brave little scamp, 8 years old,” who \
subsequently became the world's
heavyweight champion. Later she
taught at Alcorn university, where
she was accounted one of the best end
most successful teachers in the de- ;
partment of scientific nursing the
school had ever had.
Mississippi has a law that the child
of a Colored father and a mother who
has less than one-sixteenth of African
blood is considered white, while the
child of a white father and a Colored j
mother is considered Colored. When
M rs. Wehh, who was very fair, came
to visit her daughter, the authorities
decided that she was “white” and that
Miss Webh was therefore “white” also
and was not eligible to teach in a Col
ored school. Bit altho “white,” ac
cording to the law of Mississippi, and
ineligible to teach a Colored school,
she was “Colored” enough to be in
eligible to teach in a white school.
Had her father been white and her
mother Colored then, of course, .he
would have been Colored and per
mitted to hold her position. She, how
ever. secured a position as superv’sor
under the Jeannes foundation. Seven
years ago she resigned this work to
accept mercantile work, in which she
has been most successful, with the
firm of J. E. McBrady & Co. of Chi
cago.
Miss Webb left Friday for Denver,
where she will attend the Nat'oml
Association of Colored Women and |
visit her brother.
HOLLAND HARROLp BRINGS
SUIT FOR CIVIL RIGHTS
Holland HarrolJ, leader of a jazz
band and formerly waiter at the
Chamber of Commerce, has brought
action in municipal court against J. G.
McCrory company, 214 South Six
teenth street, for $1,000 under th?
civil rights act.
Harrold alleges that on June 22 he
ordered a drink at the defendant's
soda fountain, repeated the order sev
eral times in a courteous manner, wa
dressed in a clean and neat manner
but was refused the beverage.
It is alleged in a petition that “this
unjust and illegal discrimination was
based wholly on his color.”
The petitioner further alleges that
on June 11 and 12 the defendant com
pany was advised of similar and pre
vious instances of refusal to serve a
Negro. Other circumstances are re
lated to indicate that the refusal on
June 22 was plainly a violation of th'
civil rights act.

‘THE OLD SLAVE OF LOUISIANA’
Misg Herberta Barker is in receipt
of the following unusual letter that
tells its own story:
Butte, Boyd County, Neb.
Dear Miss: You said something
r.bout tinfoil in the World-Herald for
the Red Cross. I pick up all I find and
I pick up old paper of all kinds, but
you did not say where to send them. I
am an old black man. I was in the
civil war, a cook, and I am for the Red
Cross. I gave them $1. I work around.
I shipped 3,300 pounds to Fremont and
I got $2.37 out of the bunch. If you
can tell me where I can get more I can
get from a ton to two tons a month.
I am 68 years old and a cripple, but
I can help the boys of Uncle Sam in
the war. Let us wish health. I will
do my best.
Yours truly,
BROWN A. SMITH,
The Old Slave of Louisiana.
Needless to say, Miss Barker will
write to this fine old fellow.—Camp
