THE ADVOCA WE CURRENTLY PUBLISH ALL UNSPIE NEWS NOTES FROM ALL SECTIONS. WILL NOT SOLVE NEGRO PROBLEM, SOUTHERN BISHOPS DECLARE AND WILL OPPOSE APPOINTMENT Negro suffragan Bishops for the Episcopal Church seem just now to be much less desired than they were three years ago. At the great Episcopal Convention, meeting then at Richmond, Va., an amendment to the constitution of the church was passed allowing for their erection. Within a month the convention will be sitting in Cincinnati, and the amendment will be brought up for ratification. The amendment of the Southern Bishops is bearing strongly in opposition, and indications point to a stubborn fight. In the South the Bishop has great masses of Negroes as well as whites among his charges, just as in New York City he finds great throngs of Italians, and in Minnesota large numbers of Swedes. The last convention declared that these separate races could be best ministered by one of their own kind. But as a colored Bishop or an Italian Bishop did not exactly suit the convention they hit upon the plan of a Bishop who should be under the regular Bishop, but should not succeed to his place on his death. Such would be the suffragan Bishop. Within the last two weeks, however, all but two of the Southern Bishops have lined up against the Negro suffragan Bishop. In answering a circular letter sent out by the Bishop of East Carolina all but two have declared that they do not think such a Bishop would help them. Negroes' Salaries FROM NATIONAL GOVERNMENT AMOUNT TO A LARGE SUM IN THE AGGREGATE. Man From Indiana Leads with $10,000 per, but the average for the 14,000 at Uncle Sam's crib is a measly little $570. Washington, Sept. 8—More than 14,000 Negroes are employed by the United States at annual salaries exceeding eight million dollars, according to the Republican Campaign Text Book, just issued. Classification shows that the post office department employs the largest number — 2,997, drawing salaries amounting to $2,338,242 a year. In Muskogee, Okla., all the letter carriers are Negroes. In the Chicago post office 512 Negroes are employed. In Houston Tex., 24; in Jacksonville, Fla., 43; in Columbus, O., 15; with annual salaries of $13,500. In Mobile Ala., the 52 carriers are all Negroes, while of an office force of 33 the Negro clerks number 16. Next in number to the post office department are the enlisted men of the United States army, numbering 2,984, with 11 officers. The District of Columbia government employs, including unskilled laborers, 2,832. The treasury department comes next with 703 Negro employees and the other numbers are smaller. But Negroes are employed in every department of the government. The highest salary paid to a Nego is $10,000 a year, paid to the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Haiti. Christopher H. Payne, of Charleston, W. Va., receives $5,000 a year as consul at St. Thomas, West Indies. Some few of the 14,000 hold positions of importance, but most of them are messengers or occupy similar positions. There is one Negro lieutenant, colonel, retired, in the army, one examiner in the patent office, the register of the treasury, his assistant, the recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, one auditor for the navy department, a judge of the Municipal court of the District of Columbia and numerous customs and internal revenue officers are Negroes, but most of the employees occupy inferior positions, the average pay of the 14,000 being about $570 a year. Persons desiring seeds and Farmers' Bulletins issued by the government, may obtain same, without cost by sending name and address on a postal card to Senator S. F. Elkina, Elkins, W. Va. VOLUME X. Governor Glasscock's ABSENCE WILL BE KEENLY FELT BY REPUBLICAN LEADERS OF WEST VIRGINIA. Needed as Peacemaker In coming campaign, chief executive is compelled to go to Hot Springs, Virginia, in search of health long Impaired. State Headquarters Of the militant democracy to be opened at Parkersburg from which pointt will be waged a hot fight to gain control of state from Republicans. Illness of Governor W. E. Glasscock, requiring his departure from the state at the beginning of a hard campaign planned by the party leaders, has given some discouragement to some of the prominent Republican politicians who realized that the Governor in these days of factional troubles, always trying to placate the warring rank and file of his party, was a valuable asset in the militant campaign to be waged by the Democrats this fall, says the local correspondent of a Cliappnati paper. Accompanied by Dr. L. V. Guthrie, of the West Virginia Asylum, at Huntington, Governor Gasscock, with his wife, left this week for Hot Springs, Virginia, where he will remain until his condition is improved. The failure of the Governor to recuperate from an attack of inflammatory rheumatism, practically forced the executive to leave for the Virginia health resort, and while the party leaders regretted his absence from the state during the fall campaign, his friends advised that he remain away until full and complete recovery had been effected. It was the belief of Governor Glasscock that he should move the Executive Office from Charleston to White Sulphur Springs for a few weeks, but his condition was such that his physicans advised against the executive attempting to do any work until a partial recovery had been made. At prior times he had been benefited by the climate in old Virginia and for this reason his physicians insisted that he go to the Virginia resort. However, it is expected that when the West Virginia Governor has recovered sufficiently to make the change, he will return to White Sulphur Springs, in his native state, and from that point direct the affairs of the state government, returning to Charleston late in the fall prior to the assembling of the State Legislature. While Governor Glasscock is not regarded as being in a dangerous condition at the present time, his illness will probably be sufficient to keep him out of the campaign. The Governor had planned to make several speeches in behalf of his party and it was his special purpose to defend his own administration from the charges of waste and extravagance, the only charges waged by the Democratic leaders against the present administration. The fact that the State Executive had kept entirely out of the senatorial embrogio between Senator Scott and Congressman Hubbard would have been of service in an effort to unite the party in several counties where opposing factions have separate Republican tickets in the field and where Democratic success is predicted unless there is a general tightening of the lines. Next Friday, September 16, the Republican State Central Committee will hold a meeting at Parkersburg, at which time plans will be formulated for the campaign to be made for the election of the five congressional candidates and the members of the State Legislature nominated in the several counties and districts. Chairman S. V. Mathews issued the call for the meeting of the committee this week, but stated that it had not been definitely settled what would be done at the meeting next Friday. The plan of opening state headquarters from which to conduct the campaign this fall, will be discussed when the members of the committee gather at Parkersburg. The Democratic State Committee has already determined that their fight will be directed from state headquarters to be maintained at THE ADVOCATE. Suffragan Bishops HOW TO GET FREE SEED CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1910. I AM WHITE DON'T CARE SUFFRAGE John Henry Adams - 10 AMERICAN SYNDICATE CO. The Bone of Contention Negro Education IS OPPOSED BY LOUISIANA GOV- ERNOR WHO DECLARES GOD MADE WHITES AND BLACKS DIFFERENT New Orleans, Sept. 9. —On Sept. 6, declaring that there is a difference marked by God between Negroes and whites Gov. J. Y. Sanders created a mild sensation in his Labor Day address last night before 3,000 persons. Someone in the throng shouted to the Governor asking about the recent Compulsory Educational bill that was passed by the last Louisiana Legis- lature in the face of powerful oppo- sition. "I have stated time and again," replied Governor Sanders, "that if we could have compulsory education for whites alone I would not be opposed to it, but I am certainly opposed to taxing your pocket and my pocket to educate the black man. "I believe there is a difference marked by God between the white and the black man, and I do not believe so-called higher education is good for the Negro, and, except industrially, I am opposed to it." UNDER ONE MANAGEMENT Dr. S. E. Idleman will Displace Drs Crognen and Bowen. Atlanta, Ga., Sept 8—Rev. Dr. S. E. Idleman, a member of the North Ohio Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, has been elected president of Gammon Theological Seminary and Clark University. The two schools were until recently in charge respectively, of Rev. Dr. J. W. E. Bowen and Prof. W. H. Crogman, but the Freedmen's Aid Society of the M. E. Church, which has the schools under its supervision, sometime ago decided to put them both under one management. Dr. Bowen and Prof. Crogman will again assume positions as professors in the respective schools. President Idleman was born in Marron County, Ohio, in 1863. He is of German parentage, and was educated in Wesleyan University and Drew Theological Seminary. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON IN NORTH CAROLINA. Thompson's National News Bureau, Charlotte, N. C., Sept. 15—Dr. Booker T. Washington will make a tour of the State of North Carolina, beginning October 28, and ending November 3. The details of the itinerary are being worked out by Bishop George W. Clinton, of the A. M. E. Zion Church, who is a resident of Charlotte. Due announcement of the particulars will be made. Similar tours have been made by Dr. Washington through the states of Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Connecticut, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Delaware, and they have been largely instrumental in promoting a spirit of sympathetic co-operation between races at every point visited. Jeweled Gold Belt TO COST A FORTUNE TO BE PRESENTED TO JACK JOHNSON BY ADMIRERS. Campaign Started To raise necessary funds which the public will be asked to contribute according to plans of promoters. Baitimore, Sept. 15—Work on a championship belt to cost no less than $25,000 and the price of which may reach $50,000 to be presented to 'Jack' Johnson, the world's heavyweight fighter, is soon to be started by Castelberg's National Jewelry Company of this city. The amount will be raised by popular subscription and the bejeweled belt will be presented to Johnson at a banquet on November 24. This belt will be a gorgeous one if the original drawing is followed. A committee composed of Baron Wilkins, D. E. Tobias and Henry C. Parker of New York city has started the campaign toward securing the money to cover the cost. Three thousand has already been raised toward this end, and in a few days local committees in every section of the country will get to work. To the place making the greatest showing with the wherewithal will go the honor of holding the banquet. "Tom" Smith (colored) will probably be selected chairman of the local committee, and with the great interest taken in the big fighter here, it would not be surprising to find Baltimore among the top liners in the subscription list. The contract has been signed by the committee named above, and the honors of landing the big job goes to Harry F. Kleintank, representative of the Castelberg National Jewelry Store in New York city. The design has been copyrighted. Made of Solid Gold. The "Jack" Johnson diamond champion subscription fund belt is about four feet long, twelve inches wide and made of solid gold. In its construction there will be used slightly over 2000 pennyweight of gold, in addition to the large amount of platinum necessary for mountings. The spread eagle and top of center piece of belt is made entirely of platinum and diamonds. In the talons of the eagle rests a large diamond1 weighing 41 -2 carats. This diamond is to be removable and can be used or worn as stud, ring or pin. Combination mountings will be presented with belt. The all diamond and platinum eagle and top of belt likewise is to be removable and can be used or worn as brooch, pendant or lavaliere. CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR. Mrs. Washington Wife of eminent Tuskegeean delivers able address on "Education and Training." Baltimore, Sept. 12—Mrs. Booker T. Washington, wife of the president of Tuskegee College, Tuskegee, Ala., delivered an able address before the members of the congregation of Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church (colored) last night. The subject of her address was "The Education and Training of the Child." In her talk Mrs. Washington urged those present to work unceasingly for the education of their children and advocate that the children be taught some form of manual work, as in this way only she said, could they succeed in the battle with the world. Mrs. Washington was but one of a number of lady speakers from different parts of the country, and she delivered her talk in an able and eloquent manner. After the evening services were over she left the city for her home, in the Far South. Mr. Washington is in Scotland at present and he will not be able to be present at the convention of the colored Odd. Fellows being held here this week. The Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church, wherein Mrs. Washington delivered her talk was well filled, but there were not so many people present as there would have been if her coming had been more generally known. As it was, there was plenty of room in the edifice and everyone present had an opportunity of hearing plainly the address, which was on a subject of vital interest to all. LEWEY AND THOMPSON MAKE A FINE TEAM TO TIE TO. Mr. R. W. Thompson, of Washington, D. C., who so faithfully and exceptionally filled the office of president of the National Negro Press Association since its formation, and who declined to permit his name to be used for a second term, was unanimously elected corresponding secretary for the ensuing year. Mr. Thompson's knowledge of and acquaintance with all of the more prominent men of the country connected with newspaper work, and his rare ability in popularizing race papers through his exhaustive correspondence, made him the most available and successful presiding officer during the first year of the National Negro Press Association.—Florida Sentinel, Pensacola, Fla. NEW ENTERPRISE FOR ST. ALBANS. St. Albans, Sept. 14—Monday night there was organized here a company to be known as the Eureka Cut Rate Drug Store which will begin business about November 1st, with J. W. Robinson, president, Dr. J. A. Hopkins, treasurer and auditor and D. Edward Bell, Opd. D. general manager and secretary. The drug store will be located on Main street in one of the most desirable places in town. Negro Victim Of rioting demands $100,000 from Onancock, Virginia because of racial disturbances. Norfolk, Va., September 10.—One of the most unusual cases in the history of race riots was presented today when Samuel L. Burton, a Negro, of Onancock, Va., entered suit for $100,000 against the town of Onancock and the Board of Supervisors of Accomac County, in the United States Court, for damages alleged to have been done him in 1907. Burton says that his business, amounting to $10,000 a year, was broken up as a result of a riot which took place at Onancock August 10, 1907, which caused him to flee for his life. He charges that the authorities of Onancock and Accomac County sided in the riot and caused him to spend a year in jail before he finally was acquitted of a charge of murder, as a result of his appeal to the Superior Court of Virginia from a sentence of ten years in the penitentiary. Another charge made by Burton is that his place was burned by either the defendants named or at their instance, and that property valued at $2,500 had been confiscated. He says he is still the victim of the conspiracy, as he is restrained from returning to his home on account of threats to do him bodily harm. Liberia Grateful TO UNITED STATES FOR SAVING HER FROM DISMEMBER- MENT BY POWERS. Resolutions Passed By black republic thanking American friends for aid rendered during critical period when Europe threatened. New York, September 11—A mass meeting was held at Monrovia, Liberia, recently at which resolution were passed thanking all the American friends of the republic for the aid rendered that state during the recent critical period of its history, and declaring that the help of the United States alone saved Liberia from dismemberment at the hands of the powers of Europe. News of the meeting, which took place August 15, has been received here in a document signed by members of a committee appointed to voice the sentiments of the gathering. The Communication says: "No candid person conversant with the conditions surrounding us in the year 1907 would deny that our republic was in danger of dismemberment by our European neighbors. We who know what the situation was keenly realize that we have been saved from destruction as a nation by the generous and timely intervention of the government of the United States, and our gratitude to the friends who helped to bring about that intervention is too deep for expression in words. "We wish to express our special obligation to the many influentian statesmen and leaders whose aid was indispensable to the success of our cause, and we may be pardoned for mentioning Colonel Roosevelt and Senator Root for starting the movement to help us by heartily endorsing our appeal and sending a commission to visit us; the American commissioners (Dr. Faulkner, Dr. Sale and Mr. Scott) for their good work on our behalf; President Taft and Secretary Knox for their prompt and hearty approval of the recommendations of the commission; the Congress of the United States for supporting the administration in its Liberian proposals; and Dr. Booker T. Washington, whose unselfish services were invaluable to our cause. "We are now looking forward to an era of prosperity and permanent progress under the helpful lead of the American government and the inspiration of the American people." Public night schools will open October 3. High school work will be given at Armstrong Manual Training School and at the Mott building, graded schools will be held in the Garnett, Stevens, Garfield, Lovejoy, Phillips, Birney and Randall buildings. Condemns conduct of pastor and closes successful session after having made but few changes. The conference, just closed, was an interesting affair and well cared for by the church and citizens of Charleston. There was no lack of accommodations and all were well pleased with the hearty hospitality accorded them. Throughout the session the Bishop seemed in a good humor and made some interesting talks. His sermon, Sunday morning, was enjoyed by the large congregation and met a responsive return in rapt attention, sincere appreciation and a generous offering, Secretary Hawkins, of the Education Department, will be remembered for his fiery eloquence, facts and figures. His department has made a good showing and in a better condition than ever before. Dr. B. F. Watson, secretary of the Church Extension Department, addressed the conference and declared that the A. M. E. Church raised and handled more money, each year, than any Negro republic in the world -- either Haiti or Liberia. A sensation was created by the imprudence of one of the visitors, Rev. W. B. Anderson, of Pittsburg, and because of it an executive session of the conference was held and his conduct questioned and condemned. Later on a drastic resolution was offered by some of the indignant members of the conference but cooler heads advised a different course and caused the whole matter to be left to the judgment and disposition of the Bishop since the offender was a member of the Pittsburg conference which will hold its session in about ten days. The ministers of this conference have evidenced a determination to rid themselves of any man, whatever his position or attainments, who disports himself in a questionable manner; they will not be any too secretive in letting their sentiments and position be known. Men of suspicious movements must go! The solos rendered by Professor E. M. Burgess, of the W. Va. Colored Institute and Miss Demby pleased the conference and were very commendatory. Professor Prillerman was a visitor and made a neat little speech in which he paid a just tribute to the liberal provision of the state for the education of the colored children. Rev. R. R. Downs was the author of a resolution of sympathy to Governor Glasscock, which was, by order of the conference, telegraphed to Hot Springs where the Governor was compelled to resort on account of ill health. The Governor was to have made an address to the conference. There were several other visitors, prominently among them, was Rev. R. R. Reed, pastor of the First Baptist church, this city. In his address he did not fail to hold up the Baptist banner and gave some interesting statistics of their progress. Bishop Heard and Miss Emma, G. Kinch, of Liberia, Africa, the latter compelled to return on the account of sickness, were acceptable visitors and gave much necessary information concerning the work of the church in the west coast of Africa. Miss Kinch, besides being quite unassuming and modest to a degree, is a very entertaining talker and evidences a surprising knowledge of the field work and demands. Bishop Heard is in charge of the work on the west coaat and is in America to raise funds for the erection of a church in Moncovia. He preached an able sermon on Sunday night to an overcrowded church. Resolutions before the close of the session, were unanimously adopted for the many courtesies received in the many homes and the unstinted hospitality of the people; also, thanks to the Bishop and all others who aided—or contributed to the success of the conference. The next session of the conference will be held in Huntington. There were several transfers—Revs. Bazler, Christian, Davis and Edwards. CORRESPONDENCE Mrs. Byrd Prillerman, President of the W. V. C.

M. C., is adding materially to their audiences. The people of Washington are sUill nraising the management of the Howard for their business sense in securing so tal- ented a vompany as “The Smart Set’ thus early in the season and are hop- ing that a return engagement can be arranged for a later period. ‘The company made & wonderful impres- sion upon all who saw its work, and especial commendation is due S. H. Dudley for the generous opportuni- ties he is glVing the clever men and women associated with him. In Alda Overton Walker, Ella Anderson and Andrew ‘Tribble he has a trio worthy to shine as co-stars, and he does not restrict them in any way from getting all the glory they are capable of garner- ing unto themselves—and they do get away with a goodly share of the honors by intelligent industry ana conscientious attention to the de- tails of their act. Yet, in allowing each of the principals every inch of the spotlight to which they are en- titled, Mr, Dudley does not suffer by comparison, He can always hold his own with the best. His original con- ception of the Negro character and absolute mastery of his many hu- morous situations, place him easily at the head of his special line of acting, and his laurels are in no dan: xer of falling into other hands. He lakes a just and praiseworthy pride in the development of competent Ne- Bro actors, and it is to his credit, while being liberal to all with whom he labors, his premiership stands out with a brilliance that admits of no dispute as to where the stellat honors belong. Mr, Dudley's come- dy if clean and wholesome and his naturalness appeals to the student of sociology as well as to those whe simply want to laugh. He is not only a comedian of the rarest type but @ manager and producer of th Highest quality. He has in mind role far mure ambitious than any he ha yet attempted, and it is not toc much to say that in a few years, Mr Dudley will be found in the ranks o: legitimate character delineators o the class represented by Nat Good win, DeWolf Hopper and the late Sel Smith Russell, Mr. Dudley. i stronger this year than ever before because of the strong aggregation by which he is surrounded. Miss Walker has a part which fits her like a glove and never apperaed to such excellent advantage, and Miss Lottie Grady has added immensely to the prestige she has been gain- ing as an ingenue. The company is admirably balanced, and the costum- ing is rich and expensive. The music is of an unusually high grade and the numbers, without exception, are rendered with a skill, precision and enthusiasm that speaks with equal eloquence for the artist and for the stage management. Undoubtedly, “The Smart Set" is out for the very best season of its long and prosper- ous career. Manager W. H. Smith is “mak- ing good” at the New Howard. He is energetic, thorough-going and knows every “in and out" of the the- africal business. He has a happy fac~ ulty of making friends and binding them to him with hooks of steel, as it were . He has faith in the people of Washington and has never doubt- ed their ability to see what a big thing it Is for the raco to have a beautiful $100,000 theater set apart for their unrestricted accommoda- tion, and is confident that they will rally to ils support en masse, and make it a financial sucess. ‘To the Negro, the Howard is more than a money-making enterprise, It is an institution that spells opportunity for all of our people, in more ways than one. “It provides an open door to amusement-seekers of the race, who have been diseriminated against at every other house in the city on account of color. It enables them 10 see the finest artists of their race and of other races, under conditions that, satisfy the mind and preserve their self-respect. If fills a long-felt want by giving them an anditorium for big conventions, public assem- ages of a seeular, nature, schoot commencements and for the ade~ quate production of dramas by the splendid local talent with which the nation’s capital is so richly endowed. It furnishes employment for a score or more of their useful men and! women in various capacities, and puts money in the Negro purses that would be obliged to seek it else. where or xo without, From top to (By AR-UUYTER, bottom, the Howard ts officered and manned’ by colored people.’ In buitd: ing this magnificent temple of art, Mesars, Rosenthal Wd Benedict, two of Baltimore's broadest-minded busi- ness men and far-sighted purvey- ors to the popular taste, have ren- dered the colored citizens of Wash ington a positive favor, and the race, toa man, should Bee, to it that their indgment is vindféated and thelr senerosity appreciated by giving them a support that will make the theater a paying enterprise, for with- out money no worthy cause can be sustained. Manager Smith is doing his part nobly. He is the right man in the right place. It Is up to the masses and the classes to do their plain duty by Manager Smith and the liberal firm whose interests are in his keeping. The sing'ng Of Mr, Dudley’s new Giscovery, Miss Lilllan Brown, is the talk of the town. Miss Brown has 4 voice of bird-like clearness, of re- markable range and power, and her interpriation shows careful study and a knowledge of the technique of the musical art. Miss Brown is the first “lucky find” of the season ana she will be heard from {n a gratify- ing way in the future. Miss Maggie Davis, of “The Smart Set,” is a bride, having been married only last week in New York to Jesse Shipp, the well-known dramatist. Miss Ella Anderson, the “Widow Brown of the company, was also united in marriage recently to a prominept business man, whose name escapes us at this time. Ford Dabney's Theater at 9th and U Streets, is crowded nightly at all four of its performances, and the show offered is Invariably of the best ouality obtainable from the stand- ard vaudeville booking agencies, Mr. Dabney’s personal popularity is a big factor in the success of the house, but he is indebted in no small degree for the tremendous follow- ing the theater has won to the cour- teous, shrewd and painstaking man- agement of George W. |Hamilton, who knows the business from the ground up. This week the cultured Miss Mannie Brown is filling out the fourth week of her return engage- ment, and seems good for as many more, as her drawing power shows no signs of waning. She is respond- ing to repeated encores at each per- formance, rendering in exquisite style, a romantic selection entitled Fron ot My Life, 1 Love You." The merit of the song is best attested by the fact that the words are by G Luther Sadgwae.and-the music bs Clarence Cameron White, two of the capital's most skillful composers The song is especially written for and dedicated to Miss Brown by Messrs, Sadgdar and White, In ad dition to Miss Brown, this week's bill includes Gorge W, Hamilton, “the little black man," and Miss Sara Venable, a clever singing sou- ‘brette and dancer.

GILLESPIE. ```markdown ``` On account of the gravity of the offense, the character of the offender and the possible evil effects of the deed, The Advocate departs from its rule, to allow others to chronicle specific instances of the race's lapses from the path of rectitude, to deplore and to condemn an incident in connection with the recent meeting of the West Virginia conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church. Among the visitors to the conference was a man who pastored the local church about ten years ago and is now presiding elder of a neighboring district. There was also present a woman, whose actions with the presiding elder at the Morgantown meeting of the conference last year, were subjects of much unfavorable comment. The story goes, as it comes from a source of the highest authority, that it was only to avoid a public demonstration that the woman in question was among those publicly introduced to the conference and only then at the very urgent request of the presiding elder. Many ministers present took exceptions to the introduction and; upon the consideration of the matter in executive session, the whole disgraceful story of how the presiding elder had again laid himself liable to censure by leaving the home to which he was assigned and going to the hotel where the woman was stopping, came out. The punishment, if any, to be meted out to the offender, will be left to the presiding elder's own conference, which convenes within three weeks. Here we have within our very gates an example of the church's greatest weakness, a minister who, if not guilty, is at least open to the suspicion of utter disregard for the sixth commandment. These are the men responsible for the disrepute into which the profession is falling and are chargeable with much of the irreverence which the ministerial cloth evokes. The world condones, while it condemns, vice committed by a layman, but woe unto the preacher who falls from grace. Advocating virtue, he must not deal in vice, nor "Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven. Whilst, like a puffed and reckless libertine. Himself the primrose path of dal biance treads, And recks not of his rede." What action the conference will take in this case is doubtful; what action it should take is clear. Convicted as the presiding elder was of questionable, if not immoral, conduct, he should be unfrocked and driven from the church. Harsh treatment to be sure, but the church has whitewashed too many such offenders. It has shielded too many of its servants against whom charges of dishonesty or immorality have found lodgment. It has too many wolves in sheep's skin. It has before it a flagrat infraction of the laws of man, of the church and of God. If it does not purge itself of such offenders, let it cease to wonder why the pews give so little heed to the admonitions of the pulpit; let it no longer express surprise at the decrease in the accessions to its workers from among those who have regard for the sanctity of their homes and the virtue of their womankind. ```markdown ``` FALSE IDOLS The heed which some of those, for whose civil liberty this paper has exerted every effort to preserve, are giving to the blandishments of the Democratic candidates for office fills us with alarm lest they, in their eagerness for the return of the saloon, their greatest enemy, sacrifice their birthright. The platform of the Democratic party in convention assembled in this city less than two years ago is too recent for repetition. There are but few, if any, who can not recall that the main issues in the last campaign were Negro disfranchisement and separation of the races upon the common carriers. The readers of The Advocate do not need to be reminded that Mr. Littlepage, now running for Congress from this district, was a candidate for a state office at that time and made his fight on an anti-Negro platform. The memory of the Negro people of West Virginia is still fresh on the subject of Mr. MacCorkle's adherence to the mandates of his party and his efforts to secure the election of his party ticket. Time, it is said, changes all things but it has not changed these gentlemen nor has it changed the attitude of their party toward the Negro. As they were two years ago, so are they now. Just as they endorsed Negro disfranchisement and Jim Crow cars and spent their money, squandered their time and exerted their influence to make the Negro a political enuch, two years ago, so are they inclined to do today and would do if the Negro, instead of the liquor question, were the issue. There is danger lest our people follow strange gods, lest they forget their friends. In West Virginia we must look to the Republican party for the preservation of our constitutional rights. To the dominant party, we must look for whatever advancement we hope for or the retention of the privileges we possess. These be thy Gods, Oh Isreal! In the worship of others there is naught but woe.

He expects to launch the enterprise within a month. Miss Hutchinson Entertains—Miss Ammie Hutchinson entertained with a dinner party, Friday evening, Misses Annie Simpson, of Hinton, Mary Williams, teacher at Ward, and Miss L. O. Hopkins, of the Washington school. Consulting Old Records—C. G. Woodson, late principal of the Douglass school at Huntington, is spending the week here examining old records and newspapers in the State department of Archives and History. After severing his connection with the Huntington school, Mr. Woodson went to the Philippines where he became a district inspector of schools. Later he finished the courses for Bachelor and Master of Arts at Chicago university and did special work at the University of Paris, France Following a year's completion of residence work for the Ph.D. degree at Harvard, Mr. Woodson was appointed instructor in English for the M Street High School, Washington. As the subject of the thesis leading to his degree deals with early West Virginia history, he found it necessary to consult the records here. Prof. Woodson resumes his school work at Washington Monday. Gives up Position—Hs friends will regret to hear that Fred D. Cambric, shorthand and typewriter teacher at Garnett school has resigned on account of illness and is contemplating a trip to the west. The vacancy created by his resignation has not yet been filled, but it is understood that the delay is occasioned by the difficulty of choosing from those under consideration.

Heard, Philadelphia; Mrs. Emily Kinch, Jersey City; Mrs. Mary E. Johnson, Mt. Hope; Miss Mary Taylor, Buckhannon; Revs. O. T. and L. J. Davis, Keyser; and Miss M. H. Denby, Boston, Mass The Majestic Closed—The Majestic theatre is no more—anyway for a while. Constable Tom Cochran closed the place up Monday upon a warrant sworn out by Mrs. Myrtle Gall. The theatre owed her $205 for rent, so she closed it down. If this sum is not paid over before the 24th the theatre will be sold at public auction. The Majestic has been running motion pictures by the management which took charge of it about three months ago after it was burned out, but success did not crown their efforts as was evidenced by the closing. Food warmer commended—Bishop Derrick, whose meals were served at the St. Paul church during the A. M. E. Conference last week, speaks in the highest terms of the Brown Food Warmer, an invention of a Charlesston colored man, in which were served. The commendable feature of the warmer, of which F. C. Brown is the inventor, is that meals may be served hot though cooked for hours and delivered at any distance. K. & M.

Governor Glasscock's CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONS. Parkersburg, and it is not unlikely that the dominant party will also open headquarters, either at Parkersburg or at Clarkesburg, from which point a victorious campaign was waged two years ago. The point of vantage over which the Republicans and Democrats will wage battle this fall is the House of Delegates. The Democratic leaders realize that it would require an overwhelming landslide to give them the State Senate, with a large number of Republicans holding over, but with factional fights existing in Marion, Mason, Clay, Fayette, Doddridge and Wetzel Counties and the Republicans warring in several of the other counties, the Democrats feel they have an opportunity to capture the House of Delegates and force a compromise out of the Republicans when the state is redistricted during the next session. Ten seats in the House of Delegates, usually filled by Republicans, are endangered in five counties where two tickets have been placed in the field, making Democratic success absolutely certain. With these it would be necessary for the Democrats to gain about 10 more seats, and they believe they have a splendid chance in counties like Ohio, Kanawha, Nicholas, Pocahontas, Lincoln, Putnam, Cabell, Harrison, Berkeley and a few other close counties. Although the Fourth Congressional District, represented by Harry Chapman Woodyard, of Roane County, in the National House of Representatives, has a normal Republican majority of only about 2,500. It is the hardest problem to be solved in that district to find a candidate in the Democratic party who is willing to make the race against Woodyard Recently the Democrats placed Scott Withers, of Calhoun County, one of the most prominent Democrats of the state in the field against Woodyard. Withers is an attorney of statewide repute and a man of the most genial personality. He had warned his Democratic brethren that he would not accept such a nomination if it were tendered, and true to his word he withdrew from the ticket. This week the Democratic Congressional Committee met at Parkersburg and nominated John Hamilton, another Calhoun County attorney, to make the race against Woodyard. Woodyard hails from one of the smaller counties of the district which he represents, but he has been very popuar throughout the district and has always aimed to get just as much for his district as the Sergeant-Arms of the House of Representatives will permit him to lug away. Adam B. Littlepage, whom the Democrats have named in the Third Congressional District, is one Democrat who refuses to buck when anything is pushed his way, and he's even willing to take a discard if it will help the party any when it is trying to formulate a ticket. The Kanawha Senator believes that anything which they force upon him is an honor. John T. McGraw made him believe it was at the last Democratic State Convention when McGraw forced the nomination of Littlepage for Secretary of State, after the Grafton leader had defeated the doughty Kanawha man for the gubernatorial nomination. This year Will Chilton, when looking over the field for a candidate for Congress to oppose Joseph Holt Galnes, espied Senator Littlepage trying to get out of active politics and Chilton called him back to pres- California, Colorado, Alberta, Arizona, Idaho, British Columbia, Mexico, Montana, New Mexico, Wyoming, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Washington.

Henry Lincoln Jahuson is slated to lead black phalanx. Bethel Literary and Historical Society opens the season with addresses by Dr. Du Bois. Thompson's National News Bureau. Washington, D. C., September 12. —The political sky is overcast. The daily kaleidoscope presents a bewildering and tantalizing array of progressives and "stand-patters," a constantly changing alignment of regulars and insurgents in the pivotal states, and there is a seesaw in the feelings of the bandwagon hunters as to their attitude toward those masters of latter-day destiny, President William Howard Taft and Former President Theodore Roosevelt. Taft is in and has patronage to bestow. Roosevelt may get in and will not forget the men who right away are "on the fence." Those "ins" are beautifully silent. The "outs" who would like to get in right away, are "on the fence." The hopelessly "in bad" with the present administration are anxious for a change of any kind, figuring on a stronger hand with a new deal. The colored brother of the shrewder variety is simply "marking time," trusting that luck if nothing else will cause things to break his way before long. The congressional campaign is coming on. The Republican campaign book is in circulation, teeming with arguments showing that the tariff is all right for everybody and devoting much attention to what the "grand old party" has done officially, legislatively and otherwise for the advancement of the welfare of the black man. The document is an excellent one and reflects credit upon the geniuses who complied it. A list of the colored men in Washington salaries aggregating $29,295, enlisted men, numbering 2,945 braced in the 9th and 10th Cavalry and 24th and 25th Infantry, $919,121, making a total salary come to the race from the U.S. State army $930,378. In entire government service they 14,397 Negroes and theirAggressive amounts to the enormous sum of $8,255,761. These and many other facts hopeful character are shown in campaign text-book, and a haphazardly thrown out by those summed to be in the confidence of "powers, that there is more to it." A gratifying surprise may be for at any moment. It is also out that Chairman W. B.

Dr. Henry W. Furniss, of Indiana, Minister to Haiti, is the $10,000 official, and Dr. W. D. Crum, Minister to Liberia, is second, with $5,000 per annum. In the army there are eleven colored officers, with salaries aggregating $29,295. The enlisted men numbering 2,948 am braced in the 9th and 10th Cavalry and 24th and 25th Infantry, draw $919,121, making a total salary income to the race from the United States army $930,378. In the entire government service there are 14,397 Negroes and their aggregate salaries amount to the enormous sum of $8,255,761. These and many other facts of a hopeful character are shown in the campaign text-book, and a hint is delicately thrown out by those presumed to be in the confidence of the "powers, that there is more to come. A gratifying surprise may be looked for at any moment. It is also given out that Chairman W. B. McKinley is to "get busy" shortly and put the colored "spellbinders," as well as the colored laity, to work, rounding up the vote for Congressmen in the various close districts, to the end that the Republican majority in the House may be kept intact. The leadership in this matter will probably be entrusted to Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Recorder of Feeds, who enjoys the fullest confidence of Chairman Hitchcock, of the Republican National Committee, and of Mr. McKinley, chairman of the engressional campaign committee. Mr. Johnson is a "hustler," and has made himself solid with the Negro masses throughout the country by his unassuming manner and demonstrated willingness and capacity to "deliver the goods." The other federal officials will co-operate and signs of harmony are in the air. The colored brethren have certain grievances against the Republican party and have their differences with one an- --- other, but when it comes to a direct choice between the dominance of the party of Vardaman, Tillman, Jeff Davis, Tom Dixon and disfranchisement, and the party of Lincoln, Grant, Conkling, Morton, McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft—in the wisdom of the broad-gauged Negroes of the land, there is but one thing to do. They purpose to stand up for the Republican party and will do all they can to keep it in power. If they must fight for what they think is just, they will carry on the battle inside the breastworks, after the victory is over the common enemy is won. Rev. A. C. Garner, Commissioner for the District of Columbia, has sent a very creditable exhibit to the Appalachain Exposition, which is now being held at Knoxville, Tenn. Dr. Garner is a Tennesseean and took especial pride in securing a proper display of the Negro's skill and inventive genius for the delectation of his "folks at home." Whitfield McKinley. President Taft's appointee as Collector of the port at Georgetown, D. C., will have no difficulty in being confirmed. All the talk to the contrary is confined to a coterie of grouches who have acquired the habit of fighting any Negro who might be nominated for anything. Mr. McKinlay was appointed with a full knowledge of his business record in this community, and no flaw can be found in his relations with any of the numerous interests with which he has been identified. His confirmation by the Senate is a matter not open to question. Hugh E. Macbeth, of Baltimore, Editor of the Baltimore Times, was united in marriage on Wednesday evening of last week to Miss Edwin Frances Mayer, of this city, at the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. Emma H. Mayer, 407 T. Street, N. W. The wedding was quiet, only the immediate members of the family being present. Mr. and Mrs. Macbeth will make their home in Baltimore. They have the best wishes of a host of friends. Word comes that Dr. Booker T. Washington was the guest for several days of Andrew Carnegie, the beloved "Laird of Skibo Castle." Mr. Carnegie as one of the Negro's best friends in the world, and this recognition is an evidence of the esteem in which he holds the acknowledged leader of the progressive Negroes of America. Dr. Washington's story of his travels and experiences in Europe will be awaited with the deepest interest by his fellow-citizens on this side of the water. A "Tuskegee Club" is again talked of among the scores of former teachers, students and officials of Tuskegee Institute, who make their present homes in Washington. Chicago has a thriving Tuskegee Society. Why may not the Tuskegeeites of the nation's capital be equally harmonious and enterprising? The colored clerks in the Census Office have organized a social "Acquaintance Club." E. P. Davis, instructor in Latin and Greek at Howard University, has just finished a summer course at the Chicago University, and will write his thesis during the year. Mr. Davis is recognized everywhere as one of the ablest teachers of the classics in the country, and he will take hold of his work at Howard this term more strongly equipped than ever for the exacting duties assigned to him. Bethel Literary and Historical Association, the most noted institution of its kind in the country, will open its current season on Tuesday evening, October 4, with Prof. W. E. B. DuBois as the principal speaker. Mr. DuBois will take for his theme "The New Forward Movement." In view of the assumption of the supervision of this special work by Prof. DuBois with headquarters in New York, the subject proves to be a very timely one. The president of Bethel Literary this year is Mr. Garnet C. Wilkinson, an instructor in the M. Street High School. He has arranged a very strong roster of attractions and a prosperous season is already assured. Mr. Wilkinson is a young man of unusual executive ability and has a remarkable talent for the administration of large affairs. The Advisory Board, selected as his "Cabinet," is made up as follows: Elias G. Evans, chairman; L. G. Gregory, Dr. John Hurst, Dean Kelly Miller, Miss Ella M. Boston, Joseph H.

Bethel Literary and Historical Association was organized in 1881 by Bishop Daniel A. Payne and it has had as speakers scores of the most noted philosophers, scientists, statesmen and workers for the human uplift in the world. Prof. Kelly Miller, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Howard University, has published in the Nineteenth Century Magazine an article on "The American Negro as a Political Factor," and already the line of reasoning advanced by Prof. Miller is being widely discussed throughout both England and America, arresting the attention of students of social and political science in the universities and of the men actively engaged in the practical direction of government.

STUDENTS URNISHED The Independent Order of St. Luke has made phenomenal progress in this city in the past few months. Eleven months ago the Order as such did not own a lead-pencil, and its membership was small and inactive. In the period mentioned a revival of spirit has manifested itself, the membership has been quadrupled, and hundreds of dollars have been collected and placed to the credit of the fraternity. Recently there has been purchased a commodious ten-room building, 1924 13th --- street, to be used as a "St. Luke Home." It is ideally located and is additionally adapted to the purposes for which it is to be used. The purchase price was $8,000, and the property is looked upon as a bargain when it is considered that there is a frontage of 55 feet on U. street, a prominent thoroughfare that is rapidly developing into a business street, and in the near future the Order will have an opportunity to convert this side of the building into three rooms for business purposes at a goodly rental. Among the many plans discussed, and which will eventually become a reality, is the establishment here of a branch of the St. Luke Bank, the headquarters of which are at Richmond, Va. Within the structure are ample accommodations for the lodge meetings, directors' conferences and offices for the deputy and secretaries. Notwithstanding the prospective growth of the Order, the new home promises to be adequate for the needs of the body for several years, after which a longer step may be taken toward a great EXCURSION THE COLUMN SATUR OCT' V KANAWHA & RAIL Excursion Tickets Will Be Sold Stations Time of Leave Ganley Bridge 8 Glen Ferus 18 Boomer 8 Smithers 8 Cannonion 8 London 18 Hugheston 18 Cedar Greece 8 Dickinson 9 Maiden 15 Dana 15 Charleston 10 Watts Street 110 West Charleston 10 Dunbar 110 Savers 10 Lock Seven 10 Raymond City 110 Black Betsey 110 Plymouth 110 Red House 110 Buffalo 110 Arbuckle 112 Leon 12 Brooklyn 112 Pt.
