Prominent Woman Visits Lincoln Mary White Ovington of New York, Organizer of the National Associa tion for the Advancement of Col ored People, Addressed Large Au dienre at Temple Theater. MAYOR MILLER ALSO SPEAKS B LARGE audience of about 700 Colored people greeted Miss Mary White Ovington, when she spoke on the Negro problem Friday ■ night at Temple theater. Miss Ov ington came from New York, where she has for the past five years do voted her time and interests to the advancement of this society. The meeting was opened by sing ing of the national anthem, “Ameri -j ca,” an instrumental solo by Mrs. Isetta Malone, followed by invocation by the Rev. R. R. Powers. Mayor Miller was introduced by Clyde Ma lone, who is president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. Mayor Miller in turn thanked the audience heartily for the greeting re ceived. He assured the Colored peo ple that he would always be a friend to them. He spoke of Colored troop's in France and how they have rallied to the cause. He also said he was a firm be liever of political liberty. That de mocracy meant political equality. In speaking of the nation as a whole,, he said that if he had the power he ,would allow no man whether black or white, the right of franchise un less he was able to read and write. Miss Ovington in her address told of the beginning of the association and how she had lived in a Colored settlement in Brooklyn in order to make a better study of their prob lems and difficulties. She had to visit the homes before she really un derstood the conditions that existel there. She also stated that the associa tion was founded after the Spring field race riots in 1908, which were directed against the Colored people of that city. William English Wall ing, who was in Springfield at the time, wrote an article, “Race War in the North,” which stirred up enthus iasm rapidly and the result was to form a society that would take such matters under consideration. The society was organized on Lin coln’s birthday in 1909. When the or ganization started out, the members pledged themselves to protect the rights of Colored citizens. The or ganization now has 119 zranches with a membership of 35,200. Their aim is to make it reach the 50,000 mark before the beginning of next year. Lincoln has a membership of 200. She said that the National Asso ciation for the Advancement of Col ored People dealt with affairs con cerning lynching, segregation. Jim Crow cars, education and disfrancr. isement. One of the biggest ques tions was the disfranchisement of the Negro of the south. In considering the photo pla>, “The I Birth of a Nation,” she said the na I tional officers of which Moorfield Storey is president, and she one of j the vice presidents, tried to get it censored at the very beginning, while in Boston. Mr. Storey meeting Mr. Griffith, the producer, refused to shake hands with him on account of I the great humiliation his play was causing ^ ong both Colored and white people. She asserted lynching* marked disgrace upon people of both 1 races. Miss Ovington said that the J branches of the N. A. A. C. P. were | expected to fight any battles that presented themselves and to induce | their members to subscribe for the “Crisis,” a. magazine which is pub lished every month and which tells of the work done by the branches in various cities. The “Crisis” has a circulation of 76,000. She urged her listeners to work diligently in order to get best results. She also assured them that every means will be taken to see that the Negro be allowed to share equally in the American heritage of citizenship. MRS.

Ex cept in special cases, expenses con nected with speaking appointments should be borne by the local auspices under which the speakers appear. The loyalty of the 12,000,000 Ne groes of America is not doubted, but it is believed that their natural pa triotism will be stirred anew and their helpful activities will be given a live lier impetus through the eloquent re minders voiced by leaders of thought and opinion who enjoy in the fullest measure their confidence and esteem.
