C THE ADVOCA. WE CHEERFULLY PUALISH ALL CRISP NEWS NOTES FROM ALL SECTIONS. VOLUME X. Thompson's National News Bureau Washington, D. C., Sept. 21. The National Grand Council of the Independent Order of Good Samaritans opened its annual session yesterday morning at the Third Baptist Church in Alexandria. The attendance was large and represented nearly every state in the Union. National Grand Chief, Rev. J. E. Wood, of Danville, Ky., presided, and Mrs. Mary E. Washington, of New Albany, National Grand Secretary, filled her allotted position. The meeting promises to be very interesting and many problems looking to the good of the order will be worked out. Mrs. E. P. Diggs, of Leesburg, Va., is the treasurer, and reported the finances to be in a healthy condition. Mrs. Susie Roselle, of 1205 Cameron St., Alexandria, had charge of the housing of the delegates and right royally did she perform her duty. The Good Samaritans are loud in their praise of the openhanded hospitality of the citizens of the ancient town in which George Washington was wont to hibernate. Miss Mae Irwin, of Chicago, is making a splendid record as assistant superintendent of nurses at Freedmen's Hospital. She is a graduate of one of the best schools for trained nurses in the country and has experience in the work that admirably fits her for the exacting duties at this great institution. Miss Irwin has tact, patience and executive ability, and her courteous treatment of every one with whom she comes into contact, has earned for her a popularity that guarantees success to her administration. Dr. W. A. Warfield, Surgeon-in-Chief, is fortunate in having in charge of this important branch an assistant so capable and efficient as Miss Irwin is proving herself to be. Former Senator Joseph Benson Foraker passed through the city one day last week, en route from a summer resort in Maine to his home in Cincinnati. He was the picture of rugged health, the result of three months of outdoor life on the seashore, and his friends were gratified to note that the care-worn look upon his countenance, which gave them no little concern, a year or two ago, has disappeared and in his eye there is the merry twinkle of yore. Senator Foraker did not talk politics, as such, but, on the subject of current conditions, remarked: "I fancy it is somewhat difficult for any republican to keep his bearings' these days, and I confess it is so with me." He stated that it was his expectation to take part in the campaign in the State of Ohio, and his view of the situation there was highly optimistic. "I have kept in touch with Ohio affairs only by correspondence," said he. "but my advices from republican friends are all reassuring. We have an exceptionally good candidate in Mr. Harding. He is clean, capable and strong, and an ideal campaigner. The people know him, and have confidence in him, and on local issues I should say that conditions are decidedly favorable to his success. One would be rash, indeed, to make any sort of prediction," politically, with matters so abnormally mixed as they are today, but I believe that the Ohio republican ticket will be elected. Certainly it shall have my best support, as every other republican ticket has always had." Senator Foraker gave us his opinion that the country's material conditions were never better or more conducive of wholesome, healthy prosperity. All now required, was to give business a chance, and not hamper it by mischievous agitation or disturb it by ill-considered and unwise agitation. There are those who believe that there is "another run" in the energetic Senator and expect him to "come back." The congressional campaign is to be started soon. The leaders are in conference this week on matters relating to the Negro's participation in the significant contest, and the outcome will be given in a few days. The old-line republicans favor a vigorous campaign on the liberal plat- THE ADVOCATE. form of human rights and equality of citizenshelp, pointing to the splendid record of the party on all of the questions that had to do with the larger life of the Negro. It is contended that if the republicans carry the House this fall, the party must look to the Negro vote in the pivotal states of the North and Wset to save the day. There is no use mincing matters, claim the stalwarts. The party must win and if a more generous policy must be inaugurated in order to arouse the colored voters, this old-fashioned republican believes there should be no hesitation about starting out on it at once. It is said that President Taft is getting some expert advice on the subject and it would not surprise the initiated if he should, at an early date, give the "lie direct" to those schemers and marplots who have been putting out the report that he is in sympathy with a plan to eliminate the Negroes of the South from the political equation, root and branch, and build up a strictly "white man's party." The atmosphere is growing warm and in a fortnight there will be "something doing." The warriors have returned from the B. M. C. at Baltimore. Grand Master W. L. Houston, who piloted the "steam-roller," is monarch of all he surveys, and is taking a much-needed rest from his arduous labors. The administration ticket won out by a big margin, electing all of its candidates. Edward H. Morris is grand master, Henry Lincoln Johnson, deputy grand master; James P. Needham, grand secretary; and Julius C. Johnson, of Baltimore, grand treasurer. Henry P. Slaughter, of the Government Printing Office, is elected editor and manager of the Odd Fellows' Journal. He will locate in Philadelphia and establish the office and printing plant in the Odd Fellows' building in the Quaker City. He will not take hold until January 1st. In the meantime, Editor J. C. Asbury continues in office, and will arrange to transfer the property to his successor at the time stated. Mr. Asburw has been editor and manager for the past thirteen years, and has developed the business from nothing to a paying department of the order. He goes out of office with the confidence and respect of his brethren and co-workers. The administration of Grand Master Houston was a success, and under him the Order has reached the high-water mark of its history in membership, the total reaching fully a half-million. The next meeting of the B. M. C. will be held in 1912 in Atlanta. After the few sore spots are healed, the ranks of the G. U. O. of F. O. F. will close up as usual, and all will march abreast to increased prosperity in accord with the sacred shibboleth. "Friendship, Love and Truth." Horace D. Slatter, the well-known traveling correspondent, has been in the city this week, circulating among old friends. He had been to the Baltimore meeting of the B. M. C., and had some tough experience with the medicine "steam-roller," but took his medicine good-naturdely, as becomes a first-class newspaper man. Mr. Slatter says Dr. J. E. Shepard has in a magnificent school at Durham, where he had been spending some time, and is of the opinion that he has laid the foundation of an enterprise that will fulfill its mission as faithfully as Tuskegee is doing along its own individual lines. The names of Shepard and Washington will be linked as joint benefactors of their race in the Sunny Southland. Mr. Slatter is recording secretary of the National Negro Press Association, having been elected at New York in August. He has great faith in the possibilities of the Association, and will deliver a number of addresses in its behalf at the various points he will visit during the current year. The press will be kept informed of the progress of the work through Mr. Slatter and the corresponding secretary here. The Association is solidly behind President M. M. Lewey, and will sustain the policies he will soon announce. The next international conference CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE. CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1910. MARKED THE GATHERING OF THE GRAND UNTED ORDER ODD FELLOWS. Used Steam Roller Did Grand Master Houston and assured the election of his law partner and predecessor in office. Baltimore, Md., Sept. 18.—After one of the stormiest sessions in the history of the Order, the fifteenth session of the biennial movable committee of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, ended Saturday morning after having taken all night to elect officers. Edward H. Morris and the rest of the administration ticket were elected by safe majorities. The last session began Friday at 12:30 P. M., and continued without interruption until 9:30 o'clock Saturday. The election was conducted in accordance with the provisions of the temporary injunction which was secured in Circuit Court No. 2 Friday, by some of the insurgents. Among other things, the administration leaders were enjoined from conducting an election until the committee on credentials had reported and the roll called, if demanded by five delegates. There were/over 1,500 delegates in the convention and the reading and recording clerks were a tired lot when adjournment finally took place. The administration forces were especially bitter in their criticism of those responsible for the issuance of the restraining order, and they were joined in their criticism by some of the insurgents. It was pointed out that rules had been adopted early Friday, the provisions of which were similar to the demands of the injunction. Things got to fever heat last night when Rev. Dr. W. Decker Johnson, one of the secretaries, declared it was beyond reason and human endurance to keep men in continuous session because of the differences among aspirants for office, and many of the delegates jumped to their feet to speak in the same strain. City Councilman Harry S. Cummings finally quieted the delegates by explaining the provisions of the injunction, and then the calling of the roll began. Rev. E. P. Jones, the defeated candidate for grand master, took his defeat in good grace. The list of officers elected follows: Edward H. Morris, Chicago, grand master; Henry Lincoln-Johnson, Atlanta, deputy grand master; Julius C. Johnson, this city, grand treasurer; James F. Neodham, Philadelphia, grand secretary; W. David Brown, New York; George W. Hayes, Ohio; John S. Noel, West Virginia; C. A. Shehey, Florida, grand directors, and W. W. Lawrence, North Carolina; T. P. Turner, Tennessee; L. N. Porter, Arkansas, grand auditors. The administration rushed through the election of an editor and manager of the Odd Fellows' Journal Thursday declaring Henry P. Slaughter, of Washington, elected over J. C. Asbury, the present incumbent on a viva voce vote. The new grand master is about 50 years of age. He is said to be one of the most successful colored lawyers in the country and has served as a member of the Illinois legislature. The retiring grand master, W. L. Houston, is associated with him in the practice of law. The next session will be held at Atlanta, Ga. DEMOCRATS EXPRESS FRIENDSHIP FOR NEGRO. Jefferson City, Mo., Sept. 14—In the platform of the Democratic party of this state filed here today was a plank proclaiming their friendship for the black race, and declaring that they never will discriminate against the Negro either by criminal laws or by attempting to deprive him of his right of suffrage. This recalls past moves to disfranchise the Negro. In the last campaign former Congressman Cowherd, Democratic candidate for governor, in an address in St. Louis practically advocated disfranchisement of the Negroes. This was followed by Cowherd's defeat at the general election. CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR. CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE. Washington Interviewed BY LONDON PAPER CONTRASTS CONDITIONS IN SOUTH WITH ENGLAND'S POLICY. Negroes Progressing And seem to be too well satisfied to consider seriously any movement looking to their return to the Dark Continent. (From the Manchester, England Guardian August 29) Dr. Booker T. Washington, the American Negro born a slave, who founded and conducted the famous Negro Institute of Tsukgege, in Alabama, was made an honorary graduate of Harvard and Doctor of Laws of Dartmouth, and is now known in America as the spokesman of the American Negro, yesterday arrived in London. In appearance he is a strongly built man of medium height with a very faint touch of grey beginning to show in his hair. His expression is the friendly and animated one more common to his race than ours, but there is nothing that obviously marks him out as a leader of men. In his age, hands, figures, expression, and voice, everything is moderate about the man, and through a somewhat lengthy cross-examination by journalists at his room in a London hotel yesterday the feature that struck one most was the great moderation of his remarks. The Two Races in America. "The worst things," he said, "that happen to the Negro—the lynchings and so on—are all over the world the next morning. You don't hear of the best. There is a good deal of wrong that ought to be corrected—will be corrected. But there is a big lot of progress too. You don't understand here what the situation can be, with its mildly mighty contradictions. Listen to this. When you go really into the community in the South you find that every Negro has a white friend and nearly every white man has a Negro friend. That is different from anything you have in South Africa, I think. In America the races are side by side and the relationship is very close. In every community there is a white man whose family owned Negroes, and down to today there's a friendly relationship. The white man takes an interest in the descendants of his family's slaves, and they go to him when they're in trouble. Alexander Stevens, the great Confederate leader, helped the son of one of his former slaves through a college course, and similar cases have happened many times." Social Conditions in Europe. He spoke of the object of his visit. In America the Negro was the man who was the farth down. Mr. Washington has come to Europe to study the lot of the "white man who is farthest down." He intends to see something of the poor quarters of London, Liverpool, Copenhagen, Berlin, and Paris, to study the life of the field workers, and the miner, and to compare them with the mass of the Negro population in America. Besides the places mentioned, he will visit the Balkan States, Southern Italy, and Austria. He will also spend a few days with Mr. Carnegie at Skibo C castle. As he intends to do this and return to New York by the 1st of October it will be seen that his studies it to the social problems will not be very exhaustive, but he hopes to gain some general impressions for republication in Mr. Roosevelt's journal "The Outlook." The hand of that great admirer of movement may perhaps be discerned in the planning of this tour. Dr Washington believes that when America comes to a more accurate conception of the difficulties that the masses of working people in other parts of the world have to struggle against it will do much to solve the problem of the Negro in America. The Negro's Progress. Speaking of the general position of the Negro, Dr. Washington said that there were about ten millions of Negro population, nine millions of which were in the Southern States. It was difficult to disentangle the figures, as only two States keep separate accounts of the property according to races, but Virginia showed that the Negro population owned 52,000 acres, and Georgia between 40,000 and 50,000 OF REPUBLICAN LEADERS IS HELD ON THE CALL OF GOVERNOR GLASSCOCK. Plans are Adopted By which the success of the party at the polls next November is to be assured. — Governor speaks his mind and reads riot act. That harmony is a necessary adjunct to successfully fulfilling the principles of the republican party in West Virginia was a pronouncement following a meeting at the White Sulphur Springs Monday of leading factors of the party in this State. The meeting was one that will be featured in the annal of politics of West Virginia, for there were heart to heart talks and lung to lung talks during which things were said that made every off-colored party man prick up his cars and wonder why he had not already been busy at puncturing the possibilities of democratic success in West Virginia this fall. When the wheel horses got together at the White, Governor Glasscock was essentially the dominant individual and he evidently took upon himself the prerogative to say what he thought, for he said things that were naturally conducive to a question of his authority. It was determined at the meeting, and nearly every part of the State was represented, that from this time the recognized head of the party workings of West Virginia is to be the governor. The harness was placed on Mr. Glasscock's back and he has begun the task of preparing a public statement addressed to all the republicans in West Virginia in which will be incorporated an idea as to the party intentions from this time on and of the platform on which the candidates of the party may safely stand and be elected this fall. By those who were present at the meeting it has been said that the governor had more than usual to say and he pictured the situation in a manner that made everyone present sit up and take notice. He assumed the position of a dictator just as soon as the power to do so was placed within his reach and then he began to show the factions that have been disturbing conditions of harmony wherein they are not only doing themselves but the entire party an injustice. It was shown to be the sense of the meeting that all present were unanimous in expressing favor for the conduct of the present national administration, and also that it is necessary for committees to be appointed to further look into the differences that have arisen in different parts of the State between factions of the republican party. It was shown to be the sentiment of all present that instead of the United States senators of West Virginia being the actual head of the party in the State, that the governor should be recognized as the party leader and that he is entitled to the consideration that in great part have been shown to the senators. Mr. Glasscock announced that he wished for an immediate harmonizing between the factions and it was shown at the meeting that there is an inclination on the part of all of them to bring about the result just as soon as possible. One of the committees selected will have that work of harmonizing factions in hand and assurance was given at the meeting that there will be but little difficulty in bringing about that condition, so long as things are worked along the same lines as those now being adhered to. It was unanimously decided that headquarters will at once be established in this city. From this headquarters campaign Literature of every description will be circulated from this point. It was announced by the governor that he will at once busy himself in furthering the interests of the party in West Virginia and will assume the responsibilities that have been imposed on him by the leaders other than himself. He will remain at White Solohur Springs for some time in going over business connected with his office and those concerning the party work for the campaign now in progress. GRAND MASTER TAYLOR'S REM OVAL VIRA INSURANCE COMMISSIONER A ND HOLM Order was so heavily involved that a tax of $1.00 or levied.—Session notable for bitterness of express gates who vote to throw Taylordown when given as to deplorable condition of order's finances.—Ldition. Richmond, Va., Sept. 15—Yielding to repeated demands made by State Insurance Commissioner Joseph Button for a complete change in management, the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers, in biennial session in Richmond, yesterday chose A. W. Holmes, of this city, as grand worthy master, in place of W. L. Taylor. W. P. Burrell, whose administration has been entirely satisfactory to the Bureau of Insurance, will be re-elected grand secretary. The officers have been selected by what is known as nomination, and will be formally elected today. Probably the entire future of this order, the largest, most successful and most prominent among all colored secret societies in the world, was involved in the choice of the Grand Fountain of its president. Recent troubles have brought the organization to a critical stage, due mostly, it is believed, to ignorance of business methods and partly, perhaps, to the machinations of more intelligent Negroes who found in the members of their race easy dupes to their plans. Remarkable indeed is the history of the True Reformers, which for nearly thirty years has held first place in the respect and admiration of the colored population of America. Its home office and central building are located in Richmond, on Second Street, near Leigh, where yesterday's sessions were held. The body, which is composed of delegates, met on Tuesday and will be in session the remainder of the week. On one occasion this Grand Fountain, elected to represent the interests of the members, gravely and solemnly bought its own ritual, its own charter and its own constitution and by-laws from its grand master for the sum of $50,000, nearly $40,000 of which was actually paid. This official, who is now dead, was the founder of the True Reformers, was a salaried officer, and actually had the ritual copyrighted in order to secure the consummation of his plans. To add to his gains, his wife for nine years had the exclusive right to manufacture regalia for the members and at last this right was "sold" back to the order for $13,000. This founder, W. W. Browne, it is stated, presided in the meetings of the Grand Fountain in flowing robes, to aid him in impressing superstitious reverence upon those who had united with the organization. In fact, if rumors be correct, vague ceremonies of this sort were practiced up to a very recent time. When an income of nearly $3000,-000 a year, hosts of claims amounting in the aggregate to more than $50,000, remained unpaid at about the beginning of this year. Numerous complaints of the non-payment of insurance claims, ranging from small sums up to $500, were made to Commissioner Button, who ordered an examination. It was speedily learned that the trouble was not with the order, but with its depository which was known as the Savings Bank of the Grand United Order of True Reformers, was holding the checks without paying them. A little deeper was the search conducted, and it was-learned that the officials of the bank and those of the order are the same. In fact, the bank is an affiliated institution. This was the method of procedure The treasurer of the order was cashier of the bank. The checks for payment of the insurance claims would be properly drawn by the order, and charged off on its books. This was all regular. The order had the money on deposit. Then the cashier of the bank would put these checks away in a drawer and they would not be paid. The records of the bank did not show that the checks had been presented. The bank looked all right. Oh, fine! Immediate demand was made by Colonel Button for the payment of the claims. The bank made its arrangements and paid them. But the commissioner was not satisfied with the management. He gave the order until the next bi-enial meeting, which is now being held, to cleanse its stables. THE ADVOCATE ADVERTISEMENTS PLACED BY OUR COLUMNS BRING BE SULTS. TRY IT. NUMBER VI. For weeks past officers and members of the True Reformers have been notified that there must be a change of management. Taylor, the grand master, was told that he must step out, or he was given intimation to that effect. The result was to be an immediate investigation and firm application of the insurance laws. It was Colonel Button's intention to reform the order, not to wreck it. He desires to build it up for should it fall it would drag down with it, probably, the entire fabric of colored secret societies to which the Negro race pins its highest hopes. All day yesterday delegations of members called on the commissioner at his office in the Capitol, some of the members undertaking to argue the points at issue with him. He produced his reports and official records, and told them what he expected. Expostulation was of no use. To the last delegation he delivered his ultimatum. Taylor's head must fall in the basket. Yesterday's action of the Grand Fountain is regarded as a complete return to sanity and conservatism. In new hands the order is expected to continue its work safely and successfully. At the last unity and harmony reigned, Taylor stepping down without protest. The parent and leader of all such associations among the colored people of the United States, the United Order of True Reformers, has been generally venerated as a model of what such things should be, and held up as a pattern to be emulated. Its career, however, and more especially its recent management, have resulted in bringing it to the situation in which the Grand Fountain found itself when it assembled here on Tuesday. The association was organized in 1881 by William Washington Brown a colored minister of Richmond. A charter was issued on April 4, 1883. It steadily grew in membership and in importance, gathering thousands of people into its lodges, scattered throughout most of the Southern and Eastern States, and extending into the Middle West. The membership in Washington, D. C., is large. In the annual report of Browne, the grand worthy master, in 1894, he recommended that the association purchase from him in fee simple the plans of each department of the order. He had prepared himself for this coup by having the ritual and construction copyrighted in 1887 Obedient to his commands the Grand Fountain, at its session held in September, 1895, agreed to the purchase for the compensation of $50,000, by a standing vice which was nearly unanimous. Subsequently, under an agreement with Browne's widow, this amount was compromised at $40,000. All of this was paid with the exception of three or four thousand dollars, which was paid through an emergency fund created in 1906 by individual subscriptions. Quoting from the report of Examiner T. M. Hobson, to the Commissioner of Insurance, made last February: "The sale of such plans by W. W. Browne to the order was a severe breach of trust for the reason that his service and labors had been bought by the order, and to have sold them the fruits of such services deserves the greatest condemnation, it was only the good will, and this they already enjoyed." Grand Master Rules. Under the laws of the order, the president is, or has the opportunity to be, a supreme power. The Grand Fountain, which meets only once in two years, elects a board of directors composed of the first five officers and nine others. During the absence of this board, however, the administrative duties are delegated to an executive committee, which is composed of the grand master, vice-grand master, grand secretary, grand treasurer, and three others appointed by the grand master. Even should he not be able to control the other three officers, he can with his own vote and those of the men he appoints, absolutely control the situation. MONTGOMERY.

The efforts of Governor Glasscock to harmonize the existing differences in the Republican party in this state and to bring the warring factions to- gether are timely and are deserving of the commendation of all desirous of the continuance of the prosperity which has characterized West Vir- ginia’s business interests since tho maladministration of Governor Maes Corkle. The White Sulphur Springs meet- ing was well conceived and should be productive of much good, but it fs to be regretted that a larger num- ber of those who are factors in the purty was not present to advise av this critical period of its history. The absence of former Governor Vawson Samuel Dixon, Senators El- kins and Scott, Ex-Auditor Scherr, Mr. Teter, Mr, Mann and the leaders of the factions in Fayette, Marion, Mason and Wetzel counties and the Fifth Senatorial district, not to men- tion other stalwarts, is to be de- plored. Every man present at the meeting has weight in the councils of the Republican party in West Vir- sinia, yet there is no gainsaying the fact that those mentioned above would have added much to its detib- erations Then, too, the brother in black was conspicuous by his absence. Whether or not he was invited ‘The Advocate does not know but it Is “Bure thit without the support of the Negro vote the Republican cand _dates for office in more than ons gounty will fail of election, ‘This be- jing the case, il is to be hoped that the party leaders will not make the mistake of thinking — that they need not give at this time any more consideration to this factor than has heen given in the past. As among the whites so amone the blacks there is a tendency to overstep the boundaries which have heretofore circumseribed them and to exercise that independence of choice which has tll now been te prerogative solely of the dominant race. It will no longer suifice to hoid up before the Negro voter distran chisement and Jim Crowism, but he must be approached much in the same way as others who have the night of franchise. In this bald statement of facts a it sees it, The Advocate noither wish es nor expects fo be classed amons those who take a pessimistic viev of the situation nor yet among thos who yell “wolf when the flock 4 not endangered. It object is to con tinue in power that party to whiel alone the Negro people of West Vir ginia must look for the preservatior of their civic and political privileses If that party is (o remain in powe and if, in consequence, the Nero pec ple are to continue In the enjoymen vf their present privileses, ther must be a closer union among th leaders of each and a clearer under standing of party plans. Here i Kanawha county the outlook, so fa as the Negro vote is concerned, | not as bright as im former years an here, especially, The Advocate wont ask the party leaders to check th inroads being made by the oppos\ tion, The most effective way to ar complish this is to exhibit a willing ness to divide the spoils of victors to reward the services of the rac MILLIONS IN rr ‘The readers of The Advocate will secall that two measures of vital in terest lo them, though recommended by the President and favorably acted upon by the committees, failed of passage in the last Congress. In what is considered his first mes sage to Congress, President Taft very urgently advised the passage of bills empowering him to appoint a com. mission to consider the advisability of commemorating the promulgation of the Emaneipation Proclamation by hotding an ecposition in 1913, and the reimbursement of the depositors in the Mreedmen’s Savings and Trust Company, Bills embodying the pres- ident’s recommendation were drafted and favorably considered in commit- tee, but no action was taken by vither House on account of the pres- sire of other matters, considered ot greater concern to the country. in xeneral. | Lest these measures xo by default in the coming Congress, it behooves the Negro people to get busy now and pledge the candidates for Con- gress to Support them, ‘The holding of the exposition would mean much for the race in that it would afford it an opportunity to show to the world its marvelous material pro- eress, but it is doubtful whether the holding of sueh an exposition as is proposed would be more beneficial than the reimbursement of the de- positors of the ill-fated Preedmen’s bank, Over one million and a quar- ter of dollars are still due its depos- itors and the disbursement of that amount would add much to the per capita wealth of the race while rais- ing to afftuence many families now hard put to make both ends meet. It is not known to the write: whether or not any claimants reside in West Virginia, but even if this state will not benefit directly by the passage of the Freedmen’s bank bill, consideration for the advancement of the race demands that all West Virginia Negroes impress upon thelr congressmen the justice of the meas- ure and ils favorable consideration at this Congress in order that the irksome job of committee hearings may not lave to be repeated. WASHINGTON'S NEXT TOUR. Booker T. Washington's tour of North Carolina, scheduled for the last week in October, will be an- other “eye-opener” for the people of both races in the Southland. The message he bears will go far toward bringing about a better understand- ing of the mutual , interdependence of the white and the black races, and emphasize the necessity of sympathetic co-operation along edu- cational, commercial and industrial lines. ‘The future prosperity of the American Commonwealth is in the keeping of the white man and the Negro. ach ean help and each can hinder the natural order of develop- ment in proportion as he lives up to his opportunities for advancement, or as each fails to strive for higher ideals. ‘The previous tours of Dr. Washington have been fruitful for good, and as this will be the “Wiz. ard’s' first public appearance fol- lowing his investigation in Burope his visit to North Carolina will be of unusual significance to all con- cerned. Bishop GW. Clinton, of the A, M. 8, Zion chureh, a man o} wide experience in the management! of large affairs, will be in charge of the arrangements, and this is 4 guarantee that success will crow the event. A distinguished body o' men will accompany Dr. Washing ton on this trip and a grand awaken: ing throughout the Old North Stat may be expected, Dates are from October 28 to November 3. Particn Jars will be given later. THE ROOT OF THE EVID. It is lo be hoped that (ne influen- tal Negroes in every community will follow the advice offered by Emmett ), Scott at the New York meeting of the Press Association to the effect that they should cultivate the ac- ‘maintance of the various represen. tatives of the Associated Press and endeavor by diplomatic tactics to se- cure a tairer hearing for the race in their dispatches to the Caucasian journals. ‘This is beginning with the man “lower down," but it wil prevent the mistakes now made by the man “higher up," for he must look to his subordinates for the in- formation he gives to the public. ‘The inost conscientious editor is oftimed al the merey of the much-belittled correspondents, Let us ‘get next” 10 the fellows who control the con: tributions to the Associated Press, if we would check misrepresentation ‘the disease at its source. «The New Nationalism” rather ap- heals to the black man, ‘States rights," however attractive the term may sound, has been so generally as: sociated with slavery, secession, dis: franchisement and political and eivic subjugation that it is in bad order with our people, “States rights", as a principle, is never contended for, except to do something in violation of the larger liverttes of the nations contitution. We are —uncompro- misingly for centralization, ‘The United States is a Nation—not a mere confederation of states. Iisa pity that a man cannot have & name all to himself. When two people operate under the same cognomen, sooner or later one or the ether of them gets Into trouble or suffers embarrassment, to say the least. The two James B, Reynold- ses In public life, the two Doctors Boyd in Nashville, the three Drs. A. M. Brown in Birmingham, and the (wo br. Furniss, of Indiana, whose hames are not altogether identical, yet are nevertheless confusing, can sympathize with this situation. T. Thomas Fortune does not be- lieve that Philadelphia is too slow for him, as hinted by Mr. ‘Thompson in a recent paragraph, who thinks such a vigorous writer and thinker ought to be in a sympathetic commu- nity like New York, Chicago or Washington. Mr, Fortune intimates Mat “(he man makes the city, not the city the man.” Be that as it may, we know that a man is often rendered more effective by the aid of an environment that partakes of his own ihustling spirit. ———___. There are Negroes who would rather have two lines about them in the meanest white paper than half-2- column in the best-edited journal of their own race—notwithstanding the fact that a Negro’s usefulness to the white man ts gauged by his power and influence, as reflected through the reputable organs of his own peo- ple. “The Outlook” will have a strong: er hold than ever upon the interest and affections of the Negro people now that it as secured as a regular contributor that illustrious leader, teacher and philospher, Booker‘. Washington. Roosevelt, Abbott and Washington make an invincible com- bination, ee against the assinine asser- tions of the Vardamans, Davises and Tillmans, that the Negro is natural- ly an inferior being, we set the list of Mfty-seven prosperous and Gibral- tar-like banks operated by Negroes, and our massive array of successful school administrators, business and professional men. Booker T. Washington's emphatic endorsement of the National Negro Press Association and its presiding officer Is the Association's best ans- ‘wer to ‘the criticisms of the dyspep- tics who have seen it to stay on the outside. The “Wizard” has spoken and the fellows with the “grouch” may gnaw a file. George L. Knox is a success, both as a newspaper man and as a barber- shop owner. His bumptuous critics can learn much from this ex-slave, who has won fame and fortune de- spite untoward circumstances, if they Would rub the moss out of their eyes, ‘To be absolutely fair, Scott Bond, the star performer of the New York meeting of the National Negro Busi- ness League, is neither as white as the Philadelphia Tribune represents him to be, nor as black as the Bos- ton Guardian paints him, The future of the republican party lies in the North, East and West just as has been the case in the past. There is no hope for the G. O. P. in the South, and the eli- mination of the Negro is a wanton sacrifice of a loyal adherent. The Honorable William Lorimer's resignation of his membership in the ilamilton Club of Chicago may have some pertinence; but it is not so completely and convincingly cogent as a resignation of his membership in the United States Senate. Somebody in Chicago is talking bout holding a semi-centennial ec- position of Negro progress in that city in 1912, We can see where a first-class muzzle could be used to aivantage.

The taxable property of the race was about six hundred million dollars. At the emancipation time 2 per cent of the Negroes could read; now 57 per cent could do so. There were twenty Negro students at Harvard, sixteen at Yale, and from one to six at all the northern colleges. A col- oured man had twice been class ora- tor at Harvard. ‘Then there were the Negro colleges. There was no fric- tion in business life. The Negro could have his store, real estate agency, brickyard and so on, and it would be patronised freely by both races Great progress was being made, In his view the Southern States offered the Negro the best chance for labor—common and skil- led. In many directions the line was drawn, but the Negro had very little trouble in any part of the South. How does the American Negro re- gard Africa? Does he speak of it as the homeland, and is here any back-to-Africa movement, as for in- stance the “back-to-Palestine” is the movement among the Jews? Dr. Washingfon sald that he be- lieves that _a great deal was talked about it, but he did not think any- thing would be done. Some years after the reconstruction a large num- ber of American Negroes had gone to Liberia, but very few went now, The American Negro, of course, took a great deal of interest in Africa, and the Methodist and Baptist Negro churches kept missionaries there, Asked about the treatment of na- tives in South Africa, he thought that the same policy should de pursued there as with the Negro in the South—“inerease his wants." | Tho ‘American Negro had his weak. ness and sometimes his vices, ‘ut ‘nine-tenths of them work hard. Their wants had been increased by education, and now the Negro wants everything the white man enjoys.

There were a number at Tuskegee, and one of them had gone back to found a small institute on the same line in Natal. As a final instance of the grow- ing friendliness between blacks and whites in Americn, Dr. Washington said that in his tours through the Southern States to lecture to the Negroes on the need for education there were always white men there and sometimes they made half hit SATURDAY, Excursion Tickets Will Be Sold For Trains and at Rate As Follows Stations Time of Train 3 PN Glow Poot ss vec aot ear |) Fare to Columbus, Sites 2000S also ae O. and ‘Retain diondons ouswenescsnaronsns: go Charleston .........6e.00.005 10200 P.M.

Browne, the founder, was, in 1883, by a vote of the Grand Fountain, given the sole right to manufacture regalia for the members. Her husband's salary was at that time small but this privilege increased the revenues of the family to a large extent. At the suggestion of the wily founder, in 1892 the order bought out the rights, paying $3,000 for them. Bank in the Game. The savings Bank of the Grand United Order of True Reformers, which is operated as a corollary of the order, was chartered in 1888. Stock was subscribed to by individual members of the order. The charter of the bank provides that its board of directors shall be the board of directors of the True Reformers. Stock was sold on the condition that at the death of the stockholder, it should revert to the bank, and no provision is made for its reissuance. As to the unpaid claims against the order, which caused the Bureau of Insurance to sharpen its stick and to begin its work of peremptory reform, the following question is from the Hobson report, made to Commissioner Button: "Within the last eighteen months or two years the association has not paid its claims promptly, not due to the lack of funds, for the bank has a balance to the credit of the Grand Fountain amounting to $234,-738.39, but to the fact that the bank was not in position to meet the checks when presented. The deposits of the Grand Fountain constitute about 60 per cent of all deposits of the bank. The cashier of the bank is the treasurer of the Grand Fountain.

The officers of the Grand Fountain, holding in trust and responsible for the funds of the association, have no right to neglect their full duties to the policy holders of the organization and lend their influence towards the protection of an affiliated institution. Not only has the bank been fostered by withholding the checks of the association, but the Grand Fountain has loaned the bank $21,000 of its mortgage loans and, in addition, has mortgaged its home office building for $20,000 and turned this amount over to the bank, making a total of $41,100. "Under instructions from the department the officers of the bank, within the last three weeks, made arrangements to meet the outstanding checks of the association. It is clearly seen that the practice of protecting the bank at the sacrifice of the reputation of the association work a most servere hardship and should be discontinued. It is impossible for the officers to occupy the same offices in each affiliated organization and carry out, in good faith their full duties and responsibilities." The Grand Fountain elected A. W.

Luther Sadgwar composition, "Pearl of My Life I Love You," heretofore unpublished, has been given so much promise by Miss Brown and evoked so much favorable mention that several flattering officers to place it on the market have been received by her from New York music publishers and she will share jointly in the proceeds resulting from its sale. The song is a beautiful one and will be heard in all of our fashionable parlors this winter and at the star concerts. Miss Brown may accept the offer of the Hiawatha Theater management for an extended engagement at the pretty play house this season, supporting the famous comedian, T. Spencer Finley, in original character sketches. While in the city, Miss Brown is taking lessons on the 'cello from that master 'cellist, Prof. H. Leonard Jeter. Prof. W. A. Joiner, formerly of Howard University, has accepted the headship of the Normal Department at Wilberforce University, and has assumed his responsible duties at his alma mater. He has the best wishes of a host of friends here, where he lived and worked for many years. He is an unusually capable man and will "make good." in his new field. Nevertheless, and notwithstanding, there will be a "Washington Press Club," composed of reputable editors, publishers and correspondents. It will discuss methods by which the news service, circulation, advertising patronage and editorial policies may be improved and will make a specialty of entertaining distinguished visitors who come to the national capital from time to time. The Club will be an auxiliary to the National Negro Press Association, of which Editor M. M. Lewey, of Florida, is president. Bishop Alexander Walters will address Bethel Literary and Historical Association at an early date. The public schools opened Monday morning with an increased attendance. The Normal school graduates did an excellent work in stimulating the attendance of hundreds who would not otherwise have been reached. It is estimated that the Negro pupils will not fall short of 16,000. Howard University opened Wednesday with a banner enrollment. A strong delegation from Kentucky is expected to wait upon President Taft upon the return of the Chief Executive to the White House. It is stated that politics will be touched upon. To supply a demand, which it is felt the future will make for "chauffeurs of the air," the Armstrong Manual Training School, of this city, has added to its curriculum this year a course in aviation. Automobile mechanics will also be taught. A small automobile was at the school's disposal last year, as a result of which, four boys obtained licenses as chauffeurs and now have paying positions. In the aviation course, no attempts at flight will be made, but the principles of propelling an airship through its natural medium will be taught by means of a small model which travels along a wire, its motor being propelled by electricity. Dr. W. Bruce Evans, principal of the Armstrong Manual Training School, thinks there is nothing that his boys ought not to know, and is always on the alert for new idea, which keep his institution not only abreast with the times, but invariably forges a little ahead. W. B. Griffin, chief of the Washington Division of True Reformers which embraces a membership of more than 5,000, was unanimously re-elected at the recent meeting of the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers at Richmond, last week. Mr. Griffin declined the vice-presidency of the general order, and was placed on the WEST VA.

HUBBS, Sec. 2005 Louisiana Ave. Men'S Suits and Overcoats $10 to $25 222 Capitol Street panies has left an abundance of desirable talent on the theatrical market. Manager W. H. Smith has excellent judgment, and his selections will be men and women who can "deliver the goods" the fastidious taste of the Washington public demands. The mail of the Howard Theater this week is extra heavy, and Manager Smith has an immense pile of applications from artists of note. He will carefully consider the merits and drawing power of each before making up his list. The company will number about forty people. The dramatist, stage manager and general director will be the best in the business, and it is expected that his name will be announced next week. Manager George W. Hamilton is presenting an unusually strong bill this week at Ford Dabney's popular theater. The bright and particular star is Princess Rajah, styled "the German African song-bird." The Princess is versatile, singing catchy songs in German, French and English, carrying through each the characteristics of the nationalities portrayed, closing with a humorous rendition of "colored people's grand opera."—rag-time." She is full of fun, coupled with real dramatic ability, and so well does she please all classes, she is taking four and five encores at every performance. James C. Moore, does a side-splitting stunt as a "washerwoman," and after a witty monologue, makes a rapid-fire change and brings down the house in an old-fashioned song and dance, reminiscent of the palmy days of Billy Kersands and his unctious tribe. Miss Lizzie Taylor, a vocalist and dancer, is the third of the new faces appearing this week, and is proving a favorite with her mezzosoprano voice, in which she knows how to use to advantage. The Hiawatha Theater will open early in October, and will offer a round of first-class vaudeville features. The stage is to be enlarged and ample dressing rooms will be provided. The house is to be renovated throughout and an expenditure of $3,000 in repairs is planned. That perennial favorite, T. Spencer Finley, will be on deck, and will renew his triumphs of last season, when he appeared night after night for ten months, growing in popularity each week. Ford Dabney's "That's Why They Call Me Shine" is being played at the Minnehaha by George E. Battler, and Tim Bryumm's "Rubbernecking Moon" is getting a "hand" there also. "The Smart Set's" catchy music will not soon be forgotten by the delighted Washingtonians. Miss Minnie Brown, after finishing seven weeks at Ford Dabney's, has been prevailed upon to remain in the city for a limited period, and is putting in two weeks at the Foraker Theater, a handsomely-equipped house on 21st street, conducted by Mr. S, S. Brown. She is duplicating her up-town success at the Foraker and is making a pronounced hit with Will Marion Cook's "Red, Red Rose." Clarence Cameron White's "Pearl of My Life," and other selections of high musical standard. Miss Brown is a pleasing and painstaking performer, and is not only a singer of decided merit, but an actress of rare dramatic ability. While in the city, Miss Brown is taking lessons on the cello from that THE ADVOCATE ALITY D Boys e clothing we of the better bring features e special val- TY'" Us NAL and it is ```markdown ``` ITH TY" master 'cellist, Prof. H. Leonard Jeter, and will add this feature to her repertoire at an early date. So well does Miss Brown like Washington and its people, she has under consideration a flattering offer from the Hiawatha management to join hands with Mr. Finley in a series of original character sketches this fall. Frank Brown, the Hoosier tenor, late of "The Red Moon," and Miss Carita Day, formerly leading lady with Ernest Hogan, may become members of the Howard Theater Stock Company. Miss Clarice Wright, a vocalist and Spanish dancer, of more than ordinary talent, was a drawing card last week at Dabney's and was easily denominated "an artist" by competent critics. She is a New York girl, and has had considerable experience on the stage, having traveled with Williams and Walker, Cole and Johnson and other sterling companies. She may return here soon as a principal with the Howard Stock Company. Miss Wright is another one of those happy surprises that Bob Slater is addicted to springing on unsuspecting Washington audiences. Mr. George W. Richardson is bringing the crowds to the Macao now and is maying Proprietor James F. Child's heart glad by the way he is managing things. Some strong attractions are being booked for the fall season. Mr. Joseph H. Douglass, the eminent violinist, has re-located in this city, and has purchased a beautiful home on Florida avenue, near the Avenue of the Presidents, in an aris- nal mem- rights of South Aica and e Court, met in o City. 33th and 10th, and quality and ted the tocratic residential section of the northwest. He is planning to go on an extended concert tour of the Southwest, and will be accompanied by Mrs. Douglass (nee Miss Fannie A. Howard, of Atlanta,) who is an accomplished pianist and dramatist reader. "The Pearl of Life," music by Clarence Cameron White and words by G. Luther Sadgwar, which has been made popular by Miss Minnie Brown, to whom it is dedicated, will soon be placed on the market by a New York music publishing house. The song is a beautiful one and will be heard in all of our fashionable parlors and at the star concerts this winter. Mr. J. Shelton Pollen is announced for a piano recital at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, October 17, under the auspices of the Interdenominational Bible College, and Mrs. Maud Cuney Hare, Mr. Clarence Cameron White and others, will be at Lincoln Temple in star concert, October 19. "The Sunny South," a musical comedy, is being rehearsed on the stage of the Howard Theater, for a road season. The orchestra is being conducted by the brilliant Prof. Will Vodery. Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, the dramatic reader, is said to be a descendant of the famous Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, one of the lineal signers of the Declaration of Independence. Mr. Ford Dabney has returned to New York City. Baltimore is crying for a first-class colored theater. Dickinson and Talbott, the leading theatrical syndicate of Indianapolis, are to erect a theater for colored patrons in the Hoosier capital. The fever is spreading. HOW GOOD NEWS SPREADS.
