Dominant Passion In millions of civilized peoples is race prejudice, says speaker, and materialism enters into all human affairs. Washington, D. C., July 11. A large and very attentive audience—the majority of whom were men—filled the spacious auditorium of Shilloh Baptist Church, in this city, on last night to hear a sermon by Rev. Dr. Waldron, the pastor, upon the subject "Some Lessons From The Johnson-Jeffries Flight". The sermon had been well advertised, and as a consequence there were numbers of people from all parts of the city present. At the beginning it appeared that some of the audience were not pleased at the Pastor's preaching upon this subject, while many others seemed to think it was the thing to do, but almost all—if not the entire audience—at the close of the sermon gave up their adverse criticism, and seemed to feel that the fight incident had been well used to on force a number of practical and very helpful lessons. The Minister took as his text the following words from Paul 2nd Letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 9, Verses 24-27 which are as follows: "For you know that in the races in the stadium, though all may run, yet but one can gain the prize: And every man who strives in the matches, trains himself by all manner of self-restraint; yet they do it to win a crown of fading leaves,—we, a crown that cannot fade. I, therefore, run not like the racer who is uncertain of his goal; I fight, not as the pugilist who strikes against the air; but I bring my body into bondage, crushing it with heavy blows lest, perchance, having called others to the contest. I should myself fail shamely of the price." Dr. Waldron said, in part, "Olympic Games, Gladiatorial combats, Boxing matches and other sports were common in all the civilized countries during the time of the Apostles. There are many references and illustrations drawn from these games in the writings of the New Testament. The Apostle Paul refers to the Foot-races in the Stadium, Gladiatorial combats, Boxing matches, etc., more than twenty times in his writings and draws from them many striking illustration with which to enforce Spiritual truth, and if the Sacred writers could make such excellent use of the games and contest of their times, there is no good reason why Ministers should not do the same with regard to prize fights and other contests of physical endurance today. Indeed, the conditions in the sporting world and the prevalence of sports of all kinds in all parts of the earth make it necessary and desirable that the preachers of the Gospel have something to say concerning these subjects in order that pernicious physical contests and amusements may be abolished and all legitimate sports and recreations encouraged and given their proper places in the lives of individuals and Nations. "For eighteen months the daily and weekly secular press throughout America and in many places across the water have devoted large space in every issue of their papers to the Johnson-Jeffries fight; employing expert correspondents, photographers and cartoonists, and using the mails; cables, telegraphs and telephones to depict in minutest details everything said and done by Johnson and Jeffries and their companions, and when the fight came off, these publications literally overwhelmed their readers with accounts of the brutal combat written & depicted by the ablest correspondents and illustrators in the world. While this publicity has been exceedingly harmful upon the lives and minds of millions of young and old persons and should have never been allowed yet it proves that the secular newspapers of the world regard it as their mission and privilege to give the public that which they want. In order to correct this evil of the press everybody who has any love for humanity must bend their energies to interesting the people everywhere in nobler and better THE ADVOCATE. things than prize fights, horse races and gambling. "As I have read the articles upon the Johnson and Jeffries fight, both before and since the contest took place, I have been impressed with the oneness of human nature as never before. Humanity, as a mass, whatever its color, nationality or location, is still brutal and anxious to see its particular class, clan or click triumph over its competitors, whether in the right or not. "The Johnson and Jeffries fight has plainly proven that race prejudice, though unreasoning and unreasonable and contrary to the teachings of Jesus Christ, is still the dominant passion in the lives of hundreds of millions of civilized peoples and that materialism enters into almost everything pertaining to the human race. "The Olympic Games were engaged in ancient times for the development of physical endurance and the rewards were a wreath of oak leaves plucked from the Sacred Grove an honor such as only Kings received. Prize fights and similar sports are engaged in these days for the money there is in them. The Johnson and Jeffries fight proves conclusively that there are some Negroes superior to some white man and when placed in similar environments with the same opportunities and training black men will prove themselves equal to their white brethren in any walk of life. "The results of the Reno bout proved that men cannot indulge their lower appetites for any length of time and then "come back;" men must bring their bodies into bondage to higher things or they are sure to fall at the crucial moment. Sober, temperate and 'virtuous living is the only kind of life that is dependable." "The "race riots" started in hundreds of places by white persons because a black man won the fight, and the storm of protest against the public exhibition of the moving pictures of the contest raised by newspapers, Ministers, Young People's Societies, Y. M. C. Associations, etc., among the white people in America, England, Australia and other parts of the world, would indicate that the much vaunted superforty of the white race rests upon something other than inherent qualities." "The victory of Johnson over Jeffries will result, eventually in the suppression of prize fights in this country—not because the masses of Americans are opposed to pugilism—but because they are afraid other black men may prove themselves the equal of—and some-times the masters of—white men in the brutal art of fistcuff. Should this prophecy prove true, we may well rejoice that the black man whipped the white man at Reno." "From what we have read of the conduct of the sporting world before, during and after the Johnson-Jeffries fight, we would say that it is more fair in its treatment of the black champion than the Christian world is of its black children in many parts of this country." "There is no excellency even in prize fights without great labor and self-denial; the young men and women of this entire country would do well never to forget this lesson of the Johnson-Jeffries fight and the teachings of our Text—both sound the same note." "Because John Arthur Johnson won the mastery over James J. Jeffries is no proof that every Negro is a Jack Johnson, or every white man is a Jim Jeffries; and the thousands of young Negroes, young white men who have pugilistic aspirations would do well to turn their attention to some other means of winning a livelihood and fame." Education Solvent For Negro Problem And better educational facilities are needed, Director DuBois tells the Society of Friends in General Convention. Ocean Grove, N.J., July 9.—Dr. W. G. B. DuBois, director of publicity and research for the Association for the Advancement of the Colored People, delivered an address to-day before the Friends' General Convention.

Howard University Campus and buildings will furnish admirable place of meeting for National Medical Association Aug. 23rd. Washington, D. C., July 15—The elaborate plans marked out by the General Committee on arrangements indicate that the 12th session of the National Medical Association is to be the banner meeting of that useful and progressive organization. Such cities as Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Richmond, Baltimore and others, have entertained the Association, but the people of Washington, recognizing that this is the nation's capital, feel that it is incumbent upon them to establish a new record in the matter of extending openhanded and lavish hospitality. For many months there has been a constant exchange of ideas as to the form the various entertainments should take on, and now that the announcements are beginning to come from official sources, it is evident that the hard work done in chambers is bearing fruit of a most luscious type. The General Committee. The General Committee. The general committee is well-chosen for the particular and exacting duties that fall to it. The chairman is Dr. William S. Lofton, a leading dentist of the city, who has had ample experience in matters of this kind, and is therefore eminently qualified to take the lead intelligently and with confidence that the results desired will flow out of his activities. The vice-chairman is Dr. J. W. Mitchell, well-known throughout the country as an indefatigable worker, and he will capably second the efforts of Dr. Lofton. The Secretary is Dr. Amanda V. Gray, one of the owners of the Fountain Pharmacy, and a woman of remarkable intellectual and social gifts, who has counted no sacrifice of time or means too great when it was necessary to keep alive the spirit of organization and unity of action among the allied medical, dental and pharmaceutical professions of the nation. Like his energetic coadjutors, Dr. Geo W. Cabaniss, the treasurer, is loyal to the cause and is lending every atom of his tremendous influence to make the coming session worthy of the grandest capital on earth and of the people, who claim first rank in all that represents the things of life worth while. As assistant secretary, Dr. J. C. Dowling is making his hand felt in the enthusiasm that has been generated upon all sides. Dr. A. M. Curtis is in the thickest of the fray, prepared to perform any service that will help, no matter whether it is a part of his specific task or not. On the publicity and promotion end, Dr. John R. Francis is sending out tons—more or less—of literature and the columns of the press is beginning to team with the preliminary story of what is going to happen to those who visit Washington next month. He is ably equipped for such a responsibility. Besides these, the Board of Management and Control is made up of Doctors J. H. Johnson, W. C. McNeill, C. Sumner Wormley, C. H. Marshall, J. C. Norwood, Albert Ridgley, S. S. Thompson, Chas. I. West, M. O. Dumas, W. A. Warfield, C. W. Childs and D. H. Smith, all of whose names are familiar to the people who read as they run. The Place of Meetings. The buildings and campus of Howard University, admirably located on a hill commanding a magnificent view of Washington and its environs, has been secured as a place of meeting, through the courtesy of Dr. W. P. Thirkield, President of the University, and Dr. W. C. McNeill, Secretary of the Medical College. Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, through Dr. Walter H. Brooks, has kindly tendered the use of its spacious auditorium for the public meetings on Tuesday evening, August 23, at which time the addresses of welcome will be delivered by prominent officials and citizens of the District, with responses by the visitors. Papers on topics of vital interest will be presented and discussed. The principal papers and the general work of the Association will be carried on at the meetings on Howard Hill. Clinics will be held each day, from 8 to 10 o'clock a. m., Freedmen's Hospital, the finest and best-equipped in the city and excelled by few in America, in charge of Dr. W. A. Warfield, Surgeon-in-Chief, has been placed at the disposal of the convention for these clinics, and ample facilities will be provided to make them thorough and instructive. A notable innovation this year will be the "medical clinic, which will attract much attention. *The dental clinic will be held at the Infirmary Hospital, across the way from the main building at a time to be announced. Group Organizations to Meet. The head of the subordinate or "group" organizations, acting with the National Medical Association, are: Dr. A. M. Curtis, chairman of the Surgical Section; Dr. C. W. Childs, chairman of the Medical Section; Dr. L. M. Singleton, chairman of the Pharmaceutical Section. All of these are Washingtonians. Dr. Herbert W. Ross, of Boston, is chairman of the Dental Section. The separate sessions of these groups are of extraordinary interest and can be visited by laity and professional with equal profit. The exhibits this year will be unusually large and varied, and care is being taken to see that they are attractively displayed. Some of the Social Features Some of the Social Features. The social features will be especially elaborate during the convention week. Tuesday night, August 23, immediately following the public session of the N. M. A., the visiting doctors will be entertained at a "stag" at True Reformer's Hall, given by the famous Mu-So-Lit Club, of which Dr. A. M. Curtis, a prominent member of the N. M. A., is president.

In the afternoon of the second day, a lawn fete and open air concert will be given in honor of the ladies of the N. M. A., by the wives and daughters of the local profession. At the head of the Ladies' Committee is Dr. Abbie Mitchell, wife of Dr. J. W. Mitchell, of Howard University Medical College. Associated with Dr. Abbie Mitchell are a dozen of the best-known social leaders of Washington, whose homes will be thrown open for teas, receptions and other functions of a more or less private character. The principal social function of the week will be the reception and dance Thursday evening, August 25, in honor of the visitors at Convention Hall, which is said to have a dancing capacity of 4,000. Hamilton's celebrated orchestra of 30 pieces will furnish the music. The arrangements for this magnificent affair are entrusted to a committee of 25, headed by Dr. A. M. Curtis, who gives assurance that it will rival, if not surpass in brilliance and social importance the quadrennial hall in connection with the inaugural ceremonies a year and a half ago. On Friday an all-day outing at Washington Park on the Potomac River has been planned. This affair is in charge of a large committee of 40, headed by Dr. C. Sumner Wormley, a well-known dentist and popular baritone vocalist. In each of these functions a Citizens' Committee of 100, with Judge Robert H. Terrell, as chairman; Prof. Kelly Miller as vice- CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR. THE ADVOCATE ADVERTISEMENTS BEAUTIFUL OUR COLUMNS BRING SULTS. TRY IT. NUMBER XLVII Radical Speeches MADE BY DISGRUNTLED NEG ROES PROTESTING AGAINST LOSS OF LEGISLATOR But indica primary ly accept resolution But indicate primary will be ultimately accept speeches and resolution Sewell, Ju express their political conditions obtaining in the Republican party in this county, about thirty Negroes from Fayetteville, Claremont and this town held a three-hour meeting in the Baptist church here this afternoon. D. W. Turner, of Fayetteville, who signed the call, was chairman of the temporary organization, and R. O. Terry, of Sowell, secretary. While the committee on permanent organization was mapping out the line or procedure speeches of the most radical nature were delivered by a number of "insurgents", prominent among whom was attorney T. L. Sweeney, of Fayetteville, who was one of the two Negro candidates for nomination for the House of Delegates. Mr. Sweeney was outspoken in his belief that committee rule and boss domination were responsible for the failure of a Negro to receive the nomination. He expressed the opinion, which was received with many marks of approval from his auditors, that the Negroes who posed as leaders in the county, were acquiescing in the political elimination of their followers for a few loaves and fishes in the way of saloon licenses and petty jobs. His prescription for the disease affecting the party was that his people vote the prohibition or socialist ticket at the coming election. The speakers following attuned themselves to the key-note sounded by attorney Sweeney, but they did not all accept unreservedly his advice to bolt the ticket. There was, however, a unanimity of opinion that something should be done to show that they were not in accord with the actions of the meeting held at Montgomery, June 15th. John Vlar, who has the mail route between Fayette Station and Fayetteville, repudiated the men, who, he sald, had set themselves up as race leaders in the county, and thought a new deal advisable. In other words, as at Montgomery, all were deeply impressed with the necessity of belling the cat, but how and who should do the belling was not agreed upon. In line with the plans for organization as proposed by the committee, D. W. Turner, of Fayetteville, was elected president; Geo. N. Nichols, Claremont, vice president; R. O. Carey, Sewell, secretary; O. A. Pierce, Fayetteville, assistant secretary, and L. P. Scott, Sewell, treasurer. The president was empowered to appoint a vice president from each of the seven magisterial districts in the county and instructed to call another meeting at Hawk's Nest in August. This was the convention of the radicals to take steps expressive of their dissatisfaction arising from the primary to nominate the legislative and county ticket, but the meeting, outside of the speeches, did not disclose that any more is to be expected of them than of the Montgomery meeting, dominated by the conservative faction. As a matter of fact, it is becoming more and more apparent, unfortunately, that no effective protest will be made by the Negroes of this county against the passing of their Representative from the House of Delegates. Somebody blundered at the meeting of the county executive committee when the method of conducting the primary was adopted; as a result, the Negro candidates failed of nomination. Who the responsible party is, is not anything like so evident as the ultimate acceptance of the result of the primary. CONVENTION CONTESTS Charlotte, N. C., July 13. Much interest is manifested in the North Carolina Democratic convention which meets in this city tomorrow. Owing to the lack of Decisiva results in the recent State primary it will devolve upon the convention to choose candidates for corporation commissioner and associate justice of the supreme court.

PRIMARY ELECTION LAW When certain political leaders—or shall we call them bosses—advanced as their reason for opposing a primary election law the fear of Negro domination it was stated in these columns that their opposition did not arise from fear lost the Negro would corner the offices, but because they saw in the enactment of such a law the passing of their power to pack conventions and nominate creatures who would do their bidding. If the truth of our assertion was questioned, all doubt was settled by the publication of a notorious interview from J. K. Smith, a Negro lawyer of the Flat Top district, who was made to say that its heart's desire was to be either a bishop or a judge that he had lost all hope of the former, but he saw an excellent chance to wear the ermine if the primary bill became a law. The bill was defeated by an appeal to race prejudice, but the urgent necessity of its enactment into law is even more apparent now than when it was proposed. Under the present method of naming candidates for the various offices the will of the people is receiving less consideration with each pasing day. He who bears the seal of approval of the boss or wears the collar of the committee is as assured of nomination. The peoples choice has the chance of an idle in Hades. If Governor Glassock's platform goes through, as it is reasonably safe to believe it will, the candidates for office on all tickets will be named by the voters of the parties and not by bosses or committees. It will no longer be possible for one or two men to say who shall lead a party to victory or defeat. Until that day arrives it can not be said truthfully that we have a Republican form of government in fact. INSTITUTE SUMMER SCHOOL The enrollment in the West Virginia Colored Institute summer school, which has passed the seventieth mark, is gratifying not only to those engaged but also those interested in the education of the Negro people. This, while being the first attempt to hold a summer school for teachers at the school down the river, was not the first in the state, the Bluefield Colored Institute having inaugurated the movement two summers ago. But the Bluefield effort was anything but encouraging, the attendance being so small as to make the school a financial failure, in which the location and insufficient advertising were the largest factors. With this set-back, starting him in the face, it was with more than ordinary courage that State Superintendent Shawkey mapped out his plans for the school at Institute this summer. Nothing was left undone to interest the teachers. In the campaign of publicity, it can be safely stated that The Advocate took the lead, its contest for scholarships commanding the attention of the Negroes throughout the state for six weeks or more, and influencing many to attend who would have gone elsewhere. The attendance this year assures the continuance of the school and makes it possible, on account of the low rates for tuition and board, for any teacher, who so desires, to secure many of the advantages of the more expensive institutions. We look for- ward to a marked improvement in the standard of teaching in our schools and take pardonable pride in having contributed to the success of the movement. THE IRONY OF FATE That a white sheriff should be removed from office for failure to protect a white prisoner from mob violence and that the county should be compelled to pay a substantial sum of money to the heirs of the man lynched, that all this should have to be done in compliance with statutes written by Negroes is strange, passing strange, but none the less true. It was more than a coincidence, it was really the irony of fate that Harry B. Smith, Negro, editor of the Cleveland Gazette, fathered in the Ohio legislature the law requiring counties to pay the heirs of persons lynched $5,000. This law was afterward successfully engineered through the Illinois legislature by the Negro member Edward Green. Then Smith's successor, H. T. Eubanks, another Negro from Cleveland, borrowed from Illinois the law, introduced by a Negro member, providing for the removal of a sheriff in whose county a lynching occurred. In the first instance, as beneficiaries under the damage law, the heirs of Click Mitchell, colored, were the beneficiaries. Under the Eubank law, the first shefft whose office was jeopardized failed to protect a white prisoner. And here we also have two of the most advanced pieces of legislation against a national evil, both having as sponsors members of that race which has suffered most from mob violence. It can not be said, however, that there has been a noticeable abatement of the usurpation of the powers of the constituted authorities by mobs. Ilhops within recent years has had her Springfilled and Cato Lynchings, and Ohio has shocked the civilized world with her Springfilled and Newark atrocities. Still the future is brighter. With the strict entourage of the sheriff removal law in the two states, there is ground for the hope that sheriffs will not surrender their keys to readily as they have done in the past. EMANCIPATION DAY An item in the news notes from a nearby town having less Negroes than are to be found in but few wards of this city, is to the effect that preparations have been begun to celebrate the promulgation of the Emancipation Proclamation with fitting exercises. Why can not Charleston people of color do likewise? No holiday, with the exception of that marking the birth of Christ, has so much significance to the race as September twenty-second. We enter with gusto into the festivities of Thanksgiving Day and July Fourth, but both had their beginning in the times when our ancestors were chatols, brothers to the ox and with no rights, as was later held, that the white man was bound to respect. Lincoln's proclamation, promulgated September twenty-second, was the first step toward the making of persons out of what had previously been things. That day, forty-seven years ago, heard the command to Pharoh to "let my people go". It was the culmination of the nation's years of travail when a new people was born. Other peoples, component parts of this nation, observe the days conspicuous in their history. With speech and song, the sound of the fife and roil of the drum they recall the epochs of their onward march toward their heart's desire. EDUCATION. THE SOLVENT Dr. W. E. Burghardt DuBois, whom the Advocate congratulates upon his selection for the directorship of the department of publicity and research of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People, states only half the truth when he says education of the Negro is the solvent of the race problem. Educate the Negro as much as you will, erase his head with as much learning as it will hold, still you will find the relations between the races as acute, if not more so, than they now are. Why? because the ignorant Negro is no more responsible for the conditions which now obtain than is the uneducated white man. It is from this last class or from those catering to this class that emanate discriminating laws: they are the ones who lead the mob; of them come those who feed the fires of race prejudice with their never-ceasing efforts to keep the Negro in "his place". They envy the educated Negro and their feeling toward him is much more hostile than toward his less for tunate brother. Education is the solvent, but the two races must be given equal draughts from the fountain, they must be allowed to share equally in educational facilities and opportunities, also far distant is the day when all mankind shall rejoice in the reign of universal equity. GEORGIA'S SERFS If one would see the workings of distranchisement laws and discover the partiality of their application, let him go to Georgia. A recent report of the State Tax Commissioner gives a few over 11,000 Negroes entitled to vote out of a population, in 1900, of 1,034,813—about one of each ninety-four. At first sight, this proportion does not strike the observer as being alarmingly large, but when it is recalled that Georgia Negroes are credited with more per capita wealth than those in any other State, the oft-repeated statement that the law was enacted to bar the black man from the polls does not seem so far from the truth. On that day, not very far distant, when the major portion of the Negroes shall have qualified to meet all the election tests now written in the codes of the several Southern states; when they shall have by sheer endeavor lifted themselves from the status of political enemies to full citizenship; when they shall, like the founders of the nation, deny the right of taxation without representation, what flipflop will the legislators throw them? Unless they raise the ante there will be more offering to sit in the game than the dealer can accommodate. A WRETCHED MISTAKE A WRETCHED MISTAKE to endure the itching, painful distress of Piles.

Davidson as financial secretary, is co-operating with a degree of activity and unanimity and public spirit that spells success. It is expected that delegates and visitors will be here from all parts of the country, including many who will come down from the New York meeting of the National Negro Business League, and the number to be entertained will not fall short of 2,500 persons. Officers and the Elections. Mindful of the exciting scenes attending some of the contests for the presidency of the N. M. A., the conservative element is making an effort this year to make the election of officers a less prominent feature of the deliberations than has heretofore been the case. Particular stress is to be placed on the presentation of advanced ideas in medicine and surgery etc., and not so much on who is to hold this or that office. Nevertheless, the contest for the presidency bids fair to be spirited. Among those whose names will be offered for this place are Dr. A. M. Curtis, Dr. W. S. Lofton, Dr. G. W. Cabaniss and Dr. C. W. Childs, all of Washington; Dr. H. F. Gamble, of Charleston, West Virginia; Dr. George C. Hall, of Chicago; Dr. R. F. Boyd, of Nashville and perhaps one or two others. As it is customary for the presidency for the ensuing year to be taken from the city which entertains the convention, it is likely that the local aspirants will center upon a single candidate before the sitting of the body. The tenure is restricted to one year. The present official roster of the National Medical Association stands its follows: President, Marcus F. Wheatland, M. D., Newport, R. L., President; W. S. Lofton, D. D. S., Washington, D. C., vice-president; secretary, John A. Kenney, M. D., Tuskegee, Institute, Alabama, F. G. Elliott, M. D., Portsmouth, Va., assistant secretary; A. W. Williams, M. D., Chicago, HL, treasurer; pharmaceutical secretary, Mrs. J. P. H. Coleman, Phar. D. Newport News, Va.; dental secretary, A. T. Robinson, D. D. S., New York City, Executive Board; Chairman George E. Cannon, M. D., Jersey City; William E. Sters, M. D. Decatur, Ala., secretary; N. F. Mossell, M. D. Philadelphia, Pa. Amanda V. Gray, Phar. D., Washington, D. C.; C. H. Shepard, M. D. Durham, N.

THE ADVOCATE National Negro Business League To celebrate tenth anniversary at New York where arrangements have been perfected along elaborate lines. The Eleventh Annual Meeting—the tenth anniversary—of the National Negro Business League will be held in New York City, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 17th, 18th and 19th, 1910. The Palm Garden, 150 E. 58th St. near Lexington Avenue, a centrally located and commodious building, has been secured for the meetings. Addresses of welcome will be made, among others, by His Honor, Mayor William J. Gaynor, and Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue for the Second District of New York City. In addition to those who will speak representing Negro Business Enterprises, throughout the country, are Hon George McAneny, Borough President of Manhattan, Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, Editor, N. Y. Evening Post, and Mr. Jacob W. Mack, a responsible manufacturer of New York City. Ample accommodations are being arranged by the Local Negro Business League of New York for delegates intending to be present. Those planning to be present are urgently requested to send notice of such intention to Mr. B. F. Thomas, 213 West 53rd Street, New York City, or to Mr. Fred R. Moore, Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements, 247 W. 46th St., New York City. The Hotel Maceo has been selected by the Local League of New York City as Convention Headquarters. On the social side, every possible arrangement for the comfort and pleasure of the delegates will be provided, including a reception to visiting ladies on Thursday afternoon, August 18th, by the Negro Woman's Business League of Greater New York. On Friday evening, Aug. 19th, at 7 o'clock, a banquet and reception will be tendered the delegates at Grand Central Palace, Lexington Avenue and 43rd Street, which has been specially secured for the occasion, by the Local Negro Business League of New York City. For Saturday, August 20th, at 1 o'clock, a large steamer has been chartered for the purpose of giving the delegates a boat ride up the East and Hudson Rivers. Many private entertainments of one kind and another are also already being arranged for the afternoons of the three day's sessions. Mr. Cyrus Field Adams, Transportation Agent, 934 F. St., N. W. Washington, D. C., will co-operate in any way possible with city or state delegations in making transportation arrangements. Mr. Adams has already secured a rate of a fare and three-fifths for the round trip on the certificate plan, from the Trunk Line Association, which includes all of the territory west of New England and north of the Potomac to the Mississippi River, and from the southeastern Passenger Association, which includes all of the territory south of the Ohio and Potomac, and East of the Mississippi Rivers. These two Associations include the most important parts of the country from which the larger part of the delegates come. Especial attention is directed, however, to the low rates which are granted each year for the month of August for tourists going north. Delegates are especially urged to inform themselves of the offerings in their territory. Further information, if desired, may be secured from: Booker T. Washington, President, Tuskegee Institute, Ala. J. C. Napier, Chairman, Executive Committee, Napier Court, Nashville, Tenn. Emmett J. Scott, Corresponding Secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.

The door of death seemed ready to open for Murray W. Ayers, of Transit Bridge, N. Y., when his life was wonderfully saved. "I was in a dreadful condition," he writes, "my skin was almost yellow; eyes sunken; tongue coated; emaciated from losing 40 pounds, growing weaker daily.

Negro Semi-Centennial Exposition project still lives. Thompson's National News Bureau. Washington, D. C., July 13—Tis midsummer at the nation's capital, and the usual sensations have given away to the all-absorbing problem of keeping cool. Those who have "the price" are seeking ozone in the shady retreats amid the mountains of neighboring commonwealths or at the festive seaside, and some who have not the aforesaid are borrowing it and going anyhow. Others claim—and not without some show of logic—that "home is, after all, the best summer resort, and are spending the heated term here, surrounded by the comforts to which they have been accustomed, and at the usual moderate outlay of the coin of the realm. Next to getting what one wants in this world, the happiest circumstance is to want what one gets. Nevertheless, it is the fashion in Washington to go away somewhere in summer, and if you do not you are "up against" an explanation as to why you so gravely outraged the conventionalities of polite society. So, fellow-mortals, go, if you can; stay, if you have the nerve. Conventions are all the rage in this end of the moral vineyard. This week the folks of the Atlantic seaboard are attending the Hampton Annual Conference, where tuberculosis, sanitation and race journalism are to hold the boards for an extended discussion. On the 26th will come the Elks, who will browse here for four days, with True Reformers' Hall as the chief herding place. The town will move on New York en masse August 16 to 19, to attend the meeting of the National Negro Business League, with its bankers, press, bar and undertakers' annexes as an added attraction. Before that, however, the Independent Political Leaguers will camp out at Atlantic City, and break ground for the fall congressional campaign. Beginning on the 23rd the National Medical Association will hold forth in this city, and the preparations to entertain this body are on a scale that for magnificence and elaboration of detail have never been excelled in the national capital. In September the B. M. C., will be held at Baltimore, and the fact that a spirited contest is on for four of the principal offices within the gift of the Odd Fellows, give assurance that the attendance will break all previous records. The Good Samaritans come to Alexandria in September, and the slumbers of that ancient burg will give place to the proverbial Virginia "glad hand." These are not all, but will be enough to hold most of us for a while. Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries have been on every tongue since the 4th of July. The spotlight that had been hovering about Beverly and Oyster Bay was switched by popular assent, and the switch is still turned toward flatiana instead of statecraft. Washington was the scene of a number of disgraceful riots, and feeling has run high among both races. The general feeling is that there would have been no trouble had Jeffries been the winner of the fight at Reno. In the opinion of the clearer-thinking element the white people should have shown themselves better "sports," and taken their medicine like little men, instead of raising a howl and getting ugly over the defeat of their erstwhile champion. The race issue was forced into the equation by Jeffries and his backers, they are getting no sympathy at the hands of the fair-minded press or public. Those who believe in a "square deal", regardless of race or color, make no "bones" of declaring that the whites should not have been such poor losers—if they must play the game, play it on the level, and not whine if they get the worst of a game which they went into with their eyes wide open. The preachers, GUARANTEED WATCHES All standard makes from our own guaranteed "dollar watch" to the famous HOWARD. We can please you in style and satisfy you in price. WE ARE NEVER SATISFIED U Ernst Jewel Cornell WE ARE NEVER SATISFIED UNTIL OUR CUSTOMERS ARE white and colored, have deplored the disorder growing out of the pugilistic encounter, and the papers have voicferated loud and long over the brutality of prize-fighting—characterizing the exhibition as one in which the black man merely proved himself to be the biggest brute—but, notwithstanding all this, the men who have rich, red blood in their veins, are not so greatly wrought up over the affair that they cannot give Johnson some measure of credit for being the best-trained and most scientific boxer the world has ever seen, and whose brains helped quite as much as his muscles to win the title that hundreds of excellent men would sacrifice their lives to possess. Progressive colored ministers of the type of Rev. J. Milton Waldron, W. Bishop Johnson and S. Gerliah Lamkins, preached philosophical sermons last Sunday on the significance of the contest, and while not sanctioning prize-fighting as such, they could not conceal the satisfaction they evidently felt over the victory that had come to a member of our race and the practical demonstration he had given to the world that the Negro is not inherently inferior to the white in physical culture, just as the Waldrons, the Johnsons and the Lamkinsos are proving that the Negro scholar can cope on equal ground with the thinkers and scholars of all other races. The race feeling is growing less acute day by day, and in a fortnight the bitterness of the hour will be but a reminiscence. The moving-pictures of the fight have been barred by the local authorities, for the time being, but there is every reason to believe that after the flurry is over, and other cities are exhibiting them in safety, the embargo in Washington will be lifted and things will go on just about as they did when the Johnson-Burns and Johnson-Ketchell pictures were being shown some months ago. The folks who wish to see the pictures can pay their way and see them. Those who do not wish to see them can stay away. Since everybody now admits that the opposition is all due to race prejudice and that there would have been no hue and cry raised had Jeffries won, no one is able to find any good reason for barring the exhibition, save on the ground that it might infuriate the mob. The layman will ask, why concede so much latitude to the mob that the course of events must be disturbed to appease its angry passions? The true position of the officers of the law should be, in the view of many, that people should enjoy their natural rights. If mobs do not approve of obedience to the constitution and insist upon getting ugly, the thing to do is to suppress the mob. The Negroes of Washington are particularly sensitive on this score, for the policy of yielding to every objection of the mob to the civil equality of the races, here on federal soil, has gradually forced us out of every place of public enjoyment, of intellectual profit and of ordinary public accommodation. Further concession to the mob spirit will mean that before long we shall be "jim-crowed" on the street cars, because, for sooth, it will hurt the tender feelings or arouse the angry passions of a set of Negro-hating bourbons to have a black man or woman sitting by their side. A mob is never satisfied; it ever asks, like Oliver Twist, for "More." Without discussing the morals of prize-fighting, there is no more reason why the Johnson-Jeffries pictures should not be exhibited than that they should be kept out of the daily papers. The papers, which reach everybody, have done more to stir up this excitement than any other agency. Why cry down the pictures, which reach a limited number and allow the news- DIAMONDS We can save you money on Diamonds, Diamond Rings and Diamond Jewelry. Our stock is large, quality high and price based on cost to us before the recent rise. Jeweler and Manufacturing Optician. Corner Virginia St. & Arcade THE ADVOCATE paper undisputed sway? In the final analysis, however, this busy old world of ours has no time to fret long about any one incident; nor when the passions cool, as they will shortly, the victory of Johnson over Jeffries can be discussed in cool blood and the pictures will be shown without detriment to law and order in this and other communities of intelligent citizens. The matter of the Georgetown collectorship is hanging fire. The rumor that the place would go to a colored man, presumably from the South, stirred up a "hornet's nest" the moment it reachq1 the public ear. Even so good a friend of the Negro race as the Eyening Star got red in the face; first, over the probable appointment of an outside man to a purely local office; and second, because said appointee, if colored might disturb the peaceful and accepted traditions of the town. The name of Henry A. Rucker, of Atlanta, who is soon to vacate the Collectorship of Internal Revenue, was mentioned in connection with the Georgetown Post; and later, it was hinted that James C. Napier, of Nashville, Teen., could have it if he would signify his willingness to take it. No confirmation of either report has, as yet, come this way. District Committeeman Sidney Bieber, who was nominated by the President for this post, but railed of confirmation in the Senate, still has hopes, and his friends are making a desperate effort to "land" him. The place is said to be worth $5,000 per annum. The office is an old-fashioned structure on 31st street, above Main Georgetown, and receives imports amounting to a snug sum in fees and charges. The matter will probably go over until the return of President Taft from Beverly. Dr. W. D. Crum, the newly-appointed Minister to Liberia, is at the State Department daily, receiving instructions for his guidance at Monrovia. He is not talking for publication, but it is evident that he is fully impressed with the gravity of the mission that is being entrusted to his keeping, and that he realizes that his future in the Liberian Republic, is not to be a bed of roses. He will face problems that call for diplomacy of the highest order, but he has the qualifications and the stamina to "make good," and will live up to all reasonable expectations Dr. Crum goes to New York in a few days, from which point he will sail for West Africa. Bon voyage. Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Recorder of Deeds, is a busy man these days. He is adopting the policy of an "open door" at his office and sees scores of callers daily, who have wants of every description to be attended to. Besides serving the public as Recorder, he is also serving his people as a leader who feels that it is duty to help the race which he by force of circumstances, must represent in much the manner that a member of Congress represents his constituents. Col. Johnson has already been instrumental in assisting a number of colored employees in the departments, who have been seeking promotion, retention or to avoid reduction in pay. He is taking up other meritorious cases, and never seems to tire of doing good in any way that presents itself, asking no credit for himself, for the obvious expenditure of time and energy. His office has become a rendezvous for the young men of the community who believe in a political propaganda of the progressive type. Without frills, hypocrisy, social flubdub, or senseless distinctions, Col. Johnson is establishing himself as a leader of the mases, and they will stand by him. He has in mind several projects of immense value to the race, of which we will speak in our next letter. Washingtonians are "delighted" with the acceptance by Former President Roosevelt of a membership on the Board of Trustees of Tuskegee Institute. The active friendship of Theodore Roosevelt means much for the influence and development of Booker T. Washington's great school, his presence on the Board does not mean his name only. It means that he will do things for Tuskegee that no other man can do. The Interdenominational Ministers' Association of the city has adopted a resolution objecting to the site recommended by the Board of Education for the new Colored Normal School, and a committee waited on the District Commissioners Saturday to urge that the ground in question be not selected. The proposed site is situated between 6th and 7th Sts., northwest, opposite the grounds of Howard University, and is known as the Balloch property. The reasons advanced in opposition are, in brief: that it is too near the young men's dormitory of Howard University; that it is out of the way and not easily accessible to the large majority of the colored people of the District; that the character of the thoroughfare leading to the school is not desirable for the use of the girls who must attend the institution. The committee presenting the objections was made up of Revs. J. Milton Waldron, I. N. Ross, M. W. Clair, J. C. Van Loo, D. R. E. Wiseman, A. C. Garner, R. K. Harris, and C. C. Alleyne. The alley problem is again being agitated with vigor by the public-spirited citizens of the District. No problem concerns the colored people more acutely than this, yet, for the most part, our well-to-do people are apathetic on the subject. Dr. W. C. Woodward, the District health officer, prescribes education as the panacea of poverty and filth, for, says he, with education of the right sort, no man or woman will endure the unsanitary conditions that exist in the Washington alleys. Wake up, somebody! The sixth floor of the Union Building on G. Street, between 6th and 7th Streets, Northwest, is undergoing a thorough remodeling, and when the repairs are completed, the entire office force of Ralph W. Tyler, Auditor for the Navy Department, will be moved from the second floor of the building to this handsomely-furnished portion. Every modern convenience is being installed, and Auditor Tylor is greatly pleased with the change that is to be made. Prof. George W. Cook, secretary of Howard University, came down from Worchester, Mass., especially to accompany Dr. Booker T. Washington on the tour of Delaware. He is now at Atlantic City for a few days. Henry W. Freeman, the oldest messenger in the State Department, is dead. He left some very valuable property. Mr. Freeman was one of the messengers with the American delegation at the Paris Peace Commission in 1898, and has been identified with a number of important international events to which the U.S., was a party. Mrs. Mary Church Terell, honorary president of the National Association of Colored Women, is in Louisville, attending the biennial convention of that organization. Prof. Charles M. Thomas, head of the department of science in Normal School, No. 2, a specialist in normal methods and author of a number of ably-written treatises on the subject, has received a commendatory letter from Former President Roosevelt, testifying in positive terms to the effectiveness of Prof. Thomas' labors, both in theory and practice. Prof. Thomas is the prime mover in the organization of the National Association of Negro Scientists, which is making considerable headway among the leading educators of the country. "I had a corking time in Texas," writes Emmett J. Scott, who delivered the emancipation day address in his native town of Houston last month and was given the freedom of the city. Mr. Scott's home people turned out in force, and it was demonstrated that he was at least one prophet who was not without honor in his own bailiwick.

The Hiawatha, the Minnehaha and Ford Debney's Theaters are prospering. Crowded houses nightly have been the rule ever since they opened.

Slatter, the well-known correspondent of several southern white dailies, was in the city Sunday, enroute to Durham, N. C., where he will spend a month with Dr. J. E. Shepard's summer school and Chaut- aququa. He is one of the ablest and one of the busiest newspaper workers of whom the race can boast, and he never fails to deliver the goods. Mr. Slatter will be a prominent figure in the Press Convention in New York, August 16. He is a member of the Department on "Our Relations With the Associated Press" and on "The Syndicated News Service," and will be heard in the discussion of both subjects. W. L. Houston, Grand Master of the G. U. O. of O. F., was in the city Sunday passing through from Chicago on his way to Philadelphia, to attend the meeting of the Sub-Committee of Management which is in session there this week. This will be the last meeting of the S. C. M. before the meeting of the B. M. C., in Baltimore. Are we to have a repetition of the Brownsville episode, with the racial aspect reversed? On a trolley-car across the Potomac on the night of the 4th an altercation took place between some Negroes and a number of white soldiers stationed at Fort Myer, said to have grown out of a dispute over the Johnson-Jeffries fight. In the melone one of the Negroes is said to have stabbed one of the white men, and as a result the latter is reported to be in a critical condition. To avenge what seemed to be the death of their comrade the soldiers attacked the Virginia jail a few nights ago, with the intention of lynching the accused Negro. They were outwitted, however, by a ruse of the jailer, and were compelled to abandon the attempt. The ring-leaders are under arrest, and their action in thus disgracing the uniform of the United States Army by participating in an attempt to outrage the law, is condemned in military and civil circles, and it is likely that severe punishment will be layed out to the offenders. An investigation is in progress—but will the witnesses tell what they know? Will there be a "conspiracy of silence?" Will there be a discharge without honor for those known to be mixed up in the raid or to have guilty knowledge of the crime? Will the Brownsville episode be repeated? Dr. W. C. McNeill, secretary of Howard University Medical School was united in marriage last week in Hartford, Conn., to Miss Alice Wheeler, a teacher in the M. Street High School of this city. Congressman W. A. Rodenberg, of Illinois, thinks the Negro has no need to be discouraged over the outlook for the semi-centennial exposition of race progress because of the failure to secure favorable action this session. The defeat of the resolution was due to the fact that to advance it on the calendar, two-thirds of the members present was necessary, and with the democrats in opposition, the required number was lacking. It is said that the democrats made the resolution a party measure and refused to allow any chance for the republicans to use the passage of the bill as campaign material for the congressional fight this fall. Mr. Rodenberg proposes to introduce a bill at the next session for a direct appropriation for the exposition, without any provision for a commission to pass upon the feasibility of the project. Nevertheless and notwithstanding, it is the opinion of experienced exposition managers, that unless the Negro people of the country get busy and mould public sentiment for the exposition, and keep up a systematic lobbying in both houses of Congress, the bill next year, will go a glimering, just as it did at the recent session. It was a painful fact, no matter who was to blame, that the managers were caught napping on the job, and the votes that might have been secured through proper vigilance, were lost. No vest-pocket is big enough to hold an exposition scheme as large as this one is expected to be. Asbury M. E. Church, of which Rev. M. W. Clair is pastor, has raised $6,800 for the new church that it is to erect shortly. As soon as the amount of the fund reaches $10,000 work will be commenced on the new building. It is to occupy the site of the present structure at 11th and K. streets—a fine location—and I will cost about $60,000. RACE FOR MOTOR BOATS Atlantic City, N. J. July 13.—All arrangements have been completed for the cruising motor boat race from Atlantic City to Gravesend Bay, to be conducted under the joint auspices of the Atlantic Yacht Club of Brooklyn and the Yachtsmen's Club of Philadelphia. The start will be made off the anchorage of the Seaside Yacht Club early tomorrow morning and it is expected the boats will reach the finish line before sun-down tomorrow. Left Fielder Snodgrass, of the Giants has made a big hit with Gotham fans by his fine hitting. Prohibition the Issue in the "Lone Star" State $1.00 MONEY GROWS $10.00 $1.00 MONEY GROWS $10.00 when deposited in our Savings Department. It grows because, little by little you keep adding to your account, and because we keep adding Compound Semi-Annual Interest. $1.00, or more, opens an account in "The Bank That You Can Depend Upon." "The Bank That You Can Depend Upon." Capital $250,000 Charleston, W. Va. Surpl is $185,000. Austin, Texas, July 13. The campaign for the democratic gubernatorial nomination, which has kept all Texas in a political turmoll for many weeks, entered upon its final stage today. Ten days hence the contest for the governorship and for other State offices as well will be decided at the general primary election. With the many candidates for office on the stump, together with Senator Bailey and all the other prominent party leaders who are interested in the outcome, a whirlwind finish to the campaign is promised. The campaign has been one of the most partisan in the history of the commonwealth and has attracted wide attention because of the unusual bitterness of the contest for the governorship and also from the fact that the question of prohibition has been the leading issue in the fight. There are four entrants in the gubernatorial race, namely, William Poindexter, Robert Vance Davidson, O. B. Colquitt and Cone Johnson. A fifth entry, James Martin Jones, is not expected to cut much figure in the result of the contest. A significant feature of the campaign is the attitude of the different candidates toward the business element. The support of the latter is being openly invited by all of the candidates. All of them stand for the continued growth and prosperity of the State. No outcry against so-called aggregations of capital has been raised. None of the candidates has attacked the trusts or the railroads as in previous campaigns. No Radical Difference. There is no radical difference in the platforms of the four men who are waging a fight for the nomination for governor, except on the prohibition question. Poindexter and Johnson are expected to divide the prohibition vote, while Davidson and Colquitt are looked upon as the standard bearers of those opposed to State-wide prohibition. While the prohibition question is still the overshadowing issue, Senator Joseph W. Bailey is considered an important factor when it comes to the support that the different candidates are receiving. Senator Bailey has allowed the impression to become prevalent that he prefers the nomination of Mr. Poindexter for governor. On the other hand it is openly declared that Poindexter was placed in the race for governor at the instance of Senator Bailey, for the purpose of dividing the prohibition vote and to insure the election of Mr. Colquitt. It is conceded therefore that the vote of the Bailey followers will be divided between Poindexter and Colquitt, accordingly as the voter leans toward prohibition or anti-prohibition. In the same manner the anti-Bailey vote is expected to be divided between Johnson and Davidson. In addition to the governorship the coming primary will decide the nominations for lieutenant governor, attorney general, controller, commissioner of the general land office, State treasurer, railroad commissioner, State superintendent of public instruction, commissioner of agriculture, judge of the court of criminal appeals, and associate justice of the supreme court. There are spirited contests on for nearly every place on the ticket, the candidates for lieutenant governor and controller being especially numerous. Will Gilliam Besides the various State offices an entire delegation of sixteen representatives in congress is to be chosen at the primaries. The majority of the present members of congress are candidates for re-election, and most of these have no very serious opposition for renomination. Congressmen Sheppard, Hardy, Burgess, Moore, Burleson, Henry, Smith, Shayden and Garner have no opponents in the primary. Gordon Russell, of the Third district, has been appointed United States judge, and he is the only member of the delegation not a candidate for re-election. Congressman Beall, of the Fifth district, has a very active opponent in the person of Dwight Lewellen, district attorney of Dallas. Congressman Randell, of the Fourth district, also has a hard fight on his hands. The same situation faces Simpson in the Third district; Des, of the Second; Giregg, of the Seventh; Gillespie, of the Twelfth, and Stephens, of the Thirteenth district. The next legislature will elect a United States senator to succeed Charles A. Culberson, whose term will expire next March. The senatorship will therefore be included in the primary vote. Senator Culberson will be a candidate for another term. No other nomination will be placed on the ballot, and Mr. Culberson's nomination is assured. As the State legislature will be overwhelmingly democratic, this means the return of Mr. Culberson to the senate. LAWYERS LISTEN TO PAPERS Middlesboro, Ky., July 13.—There was an increased attendance at the beginning of this, the second day of the Kentucky Bar Association's annual meeting. Judge H. C. Faulkner, of Williamsburg, opened the program with a paper on "The Causes of Popular Dissatisfaction with the Administration of Justice in Criminal Cases," and was followed by El H. Brown, chairman of the board of penitentiary commissioners, who spoke on "The Treatment of Criminals." Committee reports occupied the remaining time of the session. The visiting lawyers and their families devoted this afternoon to entertainment, no session of the convention being held. RAY STATE GOLF Boston, July 13.—The annual open championship tournament, of the Massachusetts Golf association, the blue ribbon event of the sport in this section of the country, began suspiciously today on the links of the Essex County Club. The entrants include many amateur and professional experts whose high standard of play insures a successful meeting. ELKS IN COMPETITIVE DRILLS Detroit, Mich., July 13.—Interest in the Elks' reunion today centered chiefly in the competitive drill contests held on Belle Isle commons. The grand lodge held a brief business session this morning, adjourning early to permit the members to enjoy the several features of entertainment scheduled for the afternoon. WINNIPEG EXPOSITIONS OPENS Winnipeg, Man., July 13.—Winnipeg's great industrial exhibition, was opened today by Sir Wilfred Laurier. In almost every department the exhibitors are more numerous this year than ever before. The display, of live stock and agricultural products is especially elaborate. The exhibition will continue for ten days. COLLEGE CORNERSTONE LAID Plainview, Texas, July 13. The cornerstone of the Wayland Baptist College was laid here today with interesting ceremonies conducted under the auspices of the Masonic lodge. Jewell P. Lightfoot, attorney general of Texas, delivered the chief oration. oss BOE NGLE & COMPANY|.
