Nominee of Progressive Party Holds This State up as an Example of What the Bull Moose Hope to Accomplish in Furthering Better Racial Relations. Chicago, August 7.—Col. Theodore Roosevelt went far to the front yesterday on the Negro question. At night his outspoken utterances received endorsement from Negroes themselves, some of whom were contesting delegates, who had been deprived of seats in the Progressive national convention. During his afternoon speech in the Coliseum, Col. Roosevelt, being about to conclude, was asked by a man in the galleries: "What about the Negroes?" The colonel diverged from his set speech and answered the question in detail. He said the familiar Negro politician of the South—under the conditions through which he has been fostered—has no place in the councils of the new party. Recognition in Due Time. Ultimately, the colonel said, the honest Negroes of the South and the white men of the south Atlantic and Gulf states will realize the new spirit which has been born in political and social life, and that the same recognition will go naturally to the Negro, as is evidenced in the election of Negro delegates to the present convention in Maryland and West Virginia, unprecedented in other national conventions. As to the north, he said, the proper relation already has been established, to the complete satisfaction of the representatives of the white men and of the colored race. The course as mapped out by Col. Roosevelt in a statement of thirty minutes was ratified a few moments later by the delegates when they adopted the report of the credentials committee which leaves the southern states without a Negro delegate in the list. Negroes Pledge Support. At the meeting of the Negroes in the evening a resolution was adopted approving of the attitude of the colonel and calling on the voters of their race to support the Progressive ticket and policies. One of these Negroes said at the meeting it was better for his race to be treated as men, individually and on their merits, and to exercise their political rights where good can be accomplished, than for two or three colored delegates to strut up and down the streets of Chicago wearing big badges and having hope of office. More than twenty Negroes called on Col. Roosevelt in the evening to say they would support him in the stand he had taken on the Negro question. Some of them were delegates, the colonel said, and others had been refused seats in the convention. Colone's Stand on Question. Col. Roosevelt's statement before the convention, giving his attitude regarding the Negroes, was this: "Nobody can ask me a question I am afraid of. I heard over there, did I not, some query about the Negro question. Now, wait a minute. Any respectful requests for information I will always have an answer for, and during my administration I never did anything I was afraid to be questioned about and I shall not begin in the Progressive party. "There has been distributed here a letter which I wrote to Mr. Harris three or four days ago. In that letter I set forth my views and the reasons back of my views in detail, and I think with a clearness that will prevent any misapprehension, but I can give you by example just what I mean by the policy I am advocating. "I think the American people is a mighty good people to lead and a mighty poor people to drive. I think we can get the best results from our fellow Americans in other sections of the country by treating them as we expect them to treat us, and by ourselves living up in our own homes to the principles that we profess. Question Policy of Past. "In Republican national conventions hitherto there has been a large representation of colored men, all from non-Republican states. Now, just THE ADVOCATE wait; I want you to follow what I say. The virtue of the Republicans of the Republican states taking only the form of trying to make the Democratic states be good. Do you see what I mean? "The colored delegates all came from the states that never cast a Republican electoral vote; that never elected a colored man to office, where largely, owing to the action participated in for forty-five years by the Republican party, the colored man has, as a matter of fact, gradually lost all his political rights. So that the old policy of attempting to impose on the southern states from without a certain rule of conduct toward the Negro has, in fact, broken down. "And, friends, I regret to say that every man who has ever been to a national convention knows that the character of the great majority of the colored delegates from the south, from those old rotten borough states, was such as to reflect discredit upon the Republican party and upon the race itself. (Applause.) Favors Northern Negro Dlegates. "Now, wait just one moment. I am giving you the explanation as minutely as I know how. Now, as soon as the Progressive party was formed I at once set about, as many other men in different states did, securing from the northern states themselves an ample recognition of the colored men in the states, so that as a matter of fact there is in this convention a representation from the Republican states of colored men such as there never has been anything like before in any convention in the country. (Applause.) "Now, just wait a moment; and more than that, a representation of colord men who in point of character, intelligence, and good citizenship, stand on an exact equality with any of the whites among whom they stand. (Applause.) Praises West Virginiaans. "Now, wait a minute. Give me a show. Just before I began my speech you may remember that there was a good deal doing (laughter)—two colored delegates from West Virginia came up to shake hands with me. I do not know their names. One is the state librarian of West Virginia; one is a colored business man from West Virginia who had never taken any great interest in politics before. Never before has West Virginia sent two colored delegates to a national convention, and the colored delegates it sent are in character and standing the peers of the white delegates from that state. "Now, we sent colored delegates from New York; they sent colored delegates from Rhode Island. Do you think Rhode Island or West Virginia or New York would have sent them if they had been told they had to? They wouldn't have. They wouldn't have. You had to let the movement come from within. (Applause.) "Now, wait a minute; just wait a minute. This is a pretty important matter. From Maryland—" Col. Roosevelt was interrupted by cries of "Pennsylvania and New Jersey also." Continuing, he said: "And Pennsylvania, you have delegates; yes, and New Jersey, I know that. Now, wait; don't you tell me what I know. (Laughter.) No Effort at Dragooning. "From Maryland and West Virginia there have come to this convention colored delegates sent because they represent an element of colored men who have won the esteem and respect of their white neighbors, so that all the honest and decent men can join in sending the delgates of both colors; and they send them here honestly and send them here of their own free will. "That is what we Progressives have finally succeeded in doing in the north. We have done it by simply cacouraging the best men in the north to act as squarely by the colored man as they would by the white man. We have not done it by trying to dragoon the white man into that action. "The other system of trying to force in the far southern states conditions that we cannot make exist there has failed. I propose to take toward the southern states the exact attitude that we took toward West Virginia and Maryland, and I believe in adopting thath action we shall naturally and spontaneously see from those southern states the repetition of the conditions in West Virginia and Maryland, so that in future Progressive national conventions you will see colored delegates come from the south Atlantic and gulf states precisely as they now come from West Virginia and Maryland. Agrees With Julian Harris. "Now, just wait a moment. I ask you to look carefully at the letter I wrote—you have had copies of it— (Continued on page four.) CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 15. 1912 Negroes Endorse Progressive Stand Delegates to Bull Moose Convention in Full Sympathy. With Action Withholding Representation from Rotten Boroughs in the South. Chicago, August 9.—Full endorsement was given yesterday to the Roosevelt and Johnson ticket by all of the Negro delegates to the recent Progressive national convention. A formal statement signed by the colored men was issued through the Progressive national headquarters. It was signed by the following: J. R. Gleed, N. Y.; J. E. Churchman, N. N.; The Rev. J. C. Love, N. N.; Dr. C. T. Branch, N. J.; G. L. P. Taliaferro, Pa.; J. W. Hoimes, Pa.; Dr. S. G. Elbert, Del.; J. L. Mitchell, R. I.; J. P. Evans, Md.; L. H. Davenport, Md.; Dr. R. Wilder, D. C.; George Collins, D. C.; J. R. Pollard, Va.; J. C. Gilmer, Va.; C. H. James, W. Va.; W. A. Lewis, Tenn.; Thomas Pearson, Ill.; W. A. Bell, Ohio; Bishop J. M. Conner, Ark.; Dr. W. H. Suggs, Ark.; Dr. W. E. Watson, Ark.; E. T. Alexander, Ark. Issues Official Statement. "We, the colored delegates to the national Progressive convention, held in Chicago, in order to correct certain misleading statements sent out by the press to the country at large, and to urge all American citizens, the support of the Progressive party, desire to clear the situation," says the statement. "For the first time in history colored citizens of the north and east have been sitting as delegates in a great national convention, a privilege here-tofore enjoyed only by the colored delegates from the south. This recognition forever fixes his status as a charter member of the Progressive party—a new political party—which knows no north, no south, no east, no west, no race, no creed, no sex—but only American citizenship as a party requisite. "By reason of irregularity and non-compliance with the call issued for the state convention, the state of Florida in which were held two conventions—one colored and one white—was denied representation. Poltuts to Mississippi Case. "In Mississippi, where two conventions also were held, one a mixed convention and the other white, the mixed delegation was denied admission and the white delegation was seated, the mixed delegation admitting they did not claim the legality of their convention because they did not meet in compliance with the authorized call. "The charge of lily whitism against the Progressive convention is false. Arkansas elected a mixed delegation with five colored delegates four of whom attended the convention; Tennessee sent one, Kentucky one, Maryland two, and West Virginia two; thus the charge of lily whitism was made for the specific purpose of engendering political strength and embarrassment and with the hope of alienating the colored vote. "We heartily welcome the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt—a man of courage, convictions, and unquestioned integrity. We hail with the highest admiration Gov. Johnson, the giant of the west, and we greet with loud acclaim Senator Dixon, the magnetic, incomparable political general, a triumvirate which has done things and will accomplish more." NEWSPAPER FLOPS TO F. R. Huntington, W. Va., August 13.

Uplifting Features MARKED CLOSING WEEK OF SUMMER SCHOOL AND CHAUTAU-QUA AT DURHAM. Prominent Speakers From All Parts of the Country Lecture on Topics of General Interest Religious and Secular and Founder of Institution is Praised for Good Work. Durham, N. C., August 12.—The third annual session of the summer school and chautauqua of the National Training School, this city, closed Sunday night. The notable events of the season will be an effective element in the great work of racial ascendancy. The number of lecturers from various sections of the country that have given most helpful series of lectures have kindled a new hope and holy enthusiasm in the breasts of hundreds of people from various parts of the country, some from as far South as Louisiana having come to Durham to be inspired by this remarkable movement. The closing week was full of uplifting features. Dr. Webster Davis concluded his series of lectures on "Negro Ideals" with his lecture on "Political Ideals." He said, some pertinent things that were of vital significance to the Negro's material advancement. "The Life of Emerson" was the subject of the lecture by Dr. J. E. Ford, a scholar, pulpeteer and philosopher and pastor of the great institutional church, at Jacksonville, Fla. The broad training of the speaker and his exceptional power of presenting facts made this lecture a literary feast for the audience made out of the choice products of humanity from various sections of the country. The impression that he made upon them gave them a keener perception for the obtaining of many essential things for the development of mind and character. Friday evening Dr. Ford gave a wholesome resume on the events of the summer school and chautauqua. How this national institution was born in the mind of President Jas. E. Shepard, was eloquently and succinctly described by the speaker and emphasized the wonderful power of the founder of the school to bring to pass such a potent and mammoth influence for the religious training and general uplift of the race. That the institution is similar to Northfield and Winona Lake chautauquas and that it has a unique place in the activities of powerful agencies for the common good of humanity, were among the salient features of his address. He paid tribute to the various speakers; and Dean W. G. Pearson, who has conducted the summer school so successfully that it is not to be surpassed by any other school. Dr. S. N. Vass, who has gained a national reputation as an authority on the Bible and recognized as the greatest Bible lecturer in the raco, concluded his series of lectures on the Old Testament, Saturday morning. He is a remarkable character and has an originality that is striking. He opens up the mind of those who hear him to the extent that a deeper appreciation of the Bible is an evidence of his ability to reach thousands of people. His sermon Sunday afternoon was pregnant with practical utterances that make for a life of service. Dr. Vass followed some of the ablest Bible scholars in the country and proved conclusively that he is able to sustain his reputation in such able company of thinkers. The addresses of President Shepard and Dr. D. Webster Davis, last Sunday evening, were gems. They were fitting climaxes to the many influences eminating from this source of religious, intellectual, moral and social elements. President Shepard waxed eloquent in emphasizing the aims and purposes of the institution. Among the many social features of the summer school and chautauqua that is a helpful leaven in the life of the race was the president's reception complimentary to the faculty and students of the summer school. The students and faculty have been honored by the citizens of Durham by many entertainments and receptions tendered them. Among the prominent factors in these social events were C. C. Spaulding, general manager of the North Carolina Mutual & Provident Association; Prof. C. C. Amey, Dr. P. A. Robinson and John Merick, Jr. Prof. W. H. Stimson, treasurer of Biddle University and coe of the leading pedagogues of the race, was among the prominent educators that visited the summer school. Dr. P. A. Long, of Biddle University, and a member of the faculty of the summer school of the N. R. T. S., entertainer, Prof. Stimson. Dr. Long gave Prof. Stimson; Dr. D. Webster Davis; Prof. Murray, of Jackson, Tenn., and Geo. F. King, press correspondent, a delightful outing in an automobile last Thursday evening. Next year the summer school and chautauqua will begin in June and will continue for four weeks. Indications are that the attendance will again outnumber the accommodation of the school and it will be necessary for teachers to send in their applications at early dates so that they can depend upon being accommodated. Richard Harding Davis, in his vivid description of "The Two Conventions at Chicago", in the September Scribner, says that the first thrill of that extraordinary meeting came when a woman, a delegate from California, for the first time in the history of the United States cast her vote in a National Convention. Jason, the mountain boy, the hero of John Fox's serial in Scribner's—"The Heart of the Hills"—will in the September number arrive at the State University at Lexington, Ky. The same town is the seat of Transylvania University, which has appeared in some of James Lane Allen's stories. Etchings by American painters of the present day will be described in the Field of Art of the September Scribner by Frank Weitenkampf, Curator of the Print Department of the New York Public Library. Jack The Ripper Reported Captured Man Who Has Terrorized Colored Citizens of Atlanta for Eighteen Months With as Many Murders, is Alleged to Have Been Betrayed by His Wife. Atlanta, Ga., August 10.—In Henry Brown, a Negro, who confessed this morning that he killed Eva Green and Sarah White, two comely yellow girls, the Atlanta Detective Department believes it has captured "Jack the Ripper" who, has murdered and mutilated 20 mulatto girls in the last 18 months and who has kept the Negro population in a state of terror. Brown is 35 years old. He was captured in the West End last Monday, but maintained his innocence until this morning when the overwhelming evidenced forced a partial confession. Last year the ripper did not let a month slip without adding a murder to his account, always using a knife and selecting comely yellow girls as victims. Brown's wife furnished the information that led to his arrest. Brown's wife says whenever a ripper murder was committed her husband invariably came home late and always burned his shirt or some other article of clothing which seemed to her to be blood stained. She finally began to fear for her life and told the police. Although Brown has confessed only two murders, he has added, bit by bit, information of other women murdered. He is familiar with every murder among the Negroes for the last twelve months. He says he saw Mary Putnam slain and that a piece of her clothing was buried near where she was stabbed. The police found the torn waist exactly where he said. WHAT WOODROW WILSON THINKS OF OUR ITALIAN, POLISH AND HUNGAR- IAN CITIZENS. "There came multitudes of men of the lowest class from the south of Italy and men of the meaner sort from out of Hungary and Poland, men out of the ranks where there was neither skill nor energy nor any initiative of quick intelligence; and they came in numbers which increased from year to year, as if the countries of the south of Europe were disburding themselves of the more sordid and helpless elements of their population, the men whose standard of life and of work were such as American workmen had never dreamed of hitherto. * * * Chinese were more to be desired as workmen if not as citizens, than most of the coarse crew that came crowding in every year at the Eastern ports."—History of the American People, volume v. page 212. WILSON THE ENEMY OF LABOR "You know what the usual standard of the employee is in our day. It is to give as little as he may for his wages. Labor is standardized by the trades union, and this is the standard to which it is made to conform. No one is suffered to do more than the average workman can do. In some trades and handicrafts no one is suffered to do more than the east skillful of his fellows can do within the hours allotted to a day's labor and no one may work out of hours at all or volunteer anything beyond the minimum. I need not point out how economically disastrous such a regulation of labor is. It is so unprofitable to the employer that in some trades it will presently not be wornn his while to attempt anything at all. He had better stop altogether than operate at an inevitable and invariable loss. The labor of America is rapidly becoming unprofitable under its present regulation by those who have determined to reduce it to a minimum. Our economic supremacy may be lost because the country grows more and more full of unprofitable servants."—From Baccalaureale Sermon at Princeton University, June 13, 1909 President John Finley, of the College of the City of New York, will begin in the September Scribner "The French in the Heart of America," a series of articles in which he will upbuild on the basis of French adventure and exploration the civilization of the Middle West today. Dr. Finley was born along a French trail and has been a life-long student of the subject. A few years ago he expounded it at the Sorbonne as the Exchange Lecturer in France. NUMBER 27 SENDS DELEGATES TO THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE AT CHICAGO New School Year Is Planned for by Dr. Shepard, His Prospects Being Very Bright—Former Superintendent Dies.—Report of Hill's Capture Creates Sensation. Washington, D. C., August 14.—The local branch of the National Negro Business League elected a group of delegates Mcaday evening to the Chicago convention. be National Negro Business & Ide, which opens Wednesday, at 21. Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman, president of the Hair-Vim Cb Company, will read a paper of the convention on "Manufacture Hair Preparations." R. W. Th. Dehn is to address the meeting of the National Negro Press Association on "How Best Can Wholesome, Helpful and High-Class News of Interest to the Race Find Admission to the Negro Newspapers of the United States." Dr. W. H. Davis, official photographer, will, as usual, "take down" the proceedings of the National League. Hon. J. C. Napier will preside over the deliberations of the executive committee. A determined effort will be made by the Washington delegation to have the next convention of the League held in this city. The delegates will leave Washington Monday, August 19, at 3:40 p.m., in time to teach Harrisburg, Pa., to join the New York party, which has chartered a special Pullman for the trip to Chicago. Special rates are offered to a party of ten or more going from here. Dr. Shepard Planning for New School Year. Dr. James E. Shepard, flushed with the success of his summer courses and ministerial conference at the National Religious Training School, is laying ambitious pleas for the coming year at his great Durham institution. At the Summer School, Dr. Shepard had a galaxy of the country's most brilliant lecturers, white and colored, and the students left with the conviction that it was good to have been there. Teachers, preachers and students generally will do better work during the coming year because of the thorough training they received at Durham at the hands of the eminent scholars and philosophers Dr. Shepard gathered around him throughout the profitable six weeks' term. Announcement is made that the fail and winter term of the school will begin October 9, and Dr. Shepard says the enrollment, already unprecedented will tax the buildings to their ulmest capacity, and will emphasize the pressing need of further enlargement. Three new buildings have been erected this summer, and plans have been drawn for others, to keep pace with the constant demand for accommodations. Next Monday, Dr. Shepard will begin a tour of the New England states, in the interest of the National Religious Training School, covering first the principal cities in Maine and New Hampshire. Because of the necessity for meeting these engagements at once, the doctor will be compelled to forego his visit to the National Negro Business League at Chicago, which he had hoped to be able to attend. Dr. Shepard will stop over in Washington on route northward. Former Superintendent Cook Dead. George F. T. Cook, for thirty-five years superintendent of the Washington public schools, under the old regime, died last Wednesday at his resident, 1212 16th street. His funeral services were held Friday afternoon at the 16th Street Presbyterian church, Rev. Francis J. Grimke officiating. Interment was in Harmony Cemetery. During Mr. Cook's administration the colored high and normal schools were established. His demise gives renewed impetus to the suggestion of Dr. Lucy E. Moten that the new $250,000 colored normal school be named in his honor. Secretary Allen's Philanthropy.

Roosevelt And The Progressive Party THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1912 We have often heard the old story of grasping at the shadow and losing the substance and it seems to us that this is about what Col. Roosevelt did when he ruled that only white men shall be permitted to sit as delegates from the Southland.—Richmond Planet --- All of the foregoing, seems to plainly indicate that Col. Theodore Roosevelt has no earthly use for the Negro, except to use him to further his own selfish purposes and we freely confess, that it is far beyond our ability to understand or to see how any self-respecting Afro-American can support him, or raise his voice in his behalf. For at numerous times, he has proven himself to be a rank enemy and a copper-headed traitor to the Colored race.—Chicago Broadax. In his attempt to form a Southern "white man's party" Col. Roosevelt, the renowned political acrobat, will not carry a single Southern State, and for this stupid blunder at Chicago will have the solid Negro votes of the North arrived against him.—Lexington Weekly News. The Eagle believes that the only redemption for our political future lies in the Progressives. Col. Roosevelt advocates a square deal in sections of the country where the colored-man votes and can exercise his franchise.—Colorado Springs Eagle. Few men can carry water on both shoulders, and we doubt if Theodore Roosevelt will be able to fool the colored votes of the North into the belief that he is anything but an insincere hypocrite and demagogue, dangerous to the peace of the Republic and to constitutional government.—Washington Bee. --- The Progressive party is planned and intended to help and build up all men, black as well as white, and living in the South as well as the North. It is certainly the ray of hope and the pledge and promise of good things hoped for by the Negro and should receive his hearty endorsement and co-operation everywhere. - Southera Reporter. The jar of the door that shut the black man out of the "Bull Moose" convention was heard all around the world by people who have a sense of justice and respect for the finer instincts of the human race, but there are some men of our people who will cling to the chief "Bull Moosg" even though he kick them tenfold harder than he did the Brownsville boys.—Topeka Plaindealer. It looks as if the Colonel is out for the "best—the best of the whites and the best of the blacks" regardless of section. To us it looks as if his idea is—the Progressive Party in North, East, South and West is to be a broadgaged party, inviting and accepting all without regard to race or color. The Southern Wing is "to take on the hue of "a white man's party" and that it will be up to the White Bull Moose in Dixie to determine whether or not the Moose of color is to be admitted to the herd.—Arkansas Review. The Northern colored voter is not likely to be enthusiastic in the support of the candidate who assents to the exclusion of the colored voter in the South. The Colonel makes an ingenious attempt to straddle the Negro issue. This will be as difficult as straddling the silver issue was in 1896. A lily white party in the South can hardly get much support from the black voters of the rest of the country. The colored delegates in the Progressive convention from the North may have something to say on this issue before election day.—Indianapolis World. Luckily the public has caught on to his little game and has sized him up for his full worth and whether it be Taft or Wilson, it will never be Roosevelt. This last break of his as we have said, was simply a sop thrown out to the Democrats of the South, but like the fool appointments of his one time friend Taft, they will bring him more of contempt than they will votes. How any self-respecting Negro, North or South, can advocate the cause of such a charlatan we fail to understand.—Charlotteville Messenger. In our opinion, the new party has sounded its death knell. For we take it that, while the white people are not en rapport with Negroes, they know when they are given enough. It's enough that individual should be against individual from a race viewpoint, without the thing being propagated by proclamation from high places. And whether the Negroes are shown justice or not, the quality is known and at times conceded the race. When, under the influences of the better angels of man's nature, he concedes what is due man regardless of his own heretofore small, mean notions. As the Negro is concerned, the Progressive party is without conscience. It is not right on a great moral question, and no evilly based institution can long survive.—Indianapolis Freeman. The Roosevelt convention, which completed its labors in connection with launching a new party at the Coliseum the past week, has made it plain that their slogan of "Let the people rule" is a subterfuge, a delusion and a snare. Mr. Roosevelt has always posed as an exponent of a square deal for every man and as an advocate of the rights of the people; but his policy toward the Negro voters in the southern states demonstrates unquestionably that Mr. Roosevelt is a political trimmer and is perfectly willing to sacrifice a great principle for the sake of possible political advantage. Illinois Idea. The Amsterdam News has been progressive, because they with us have believed that through the Progressive party the colored citizen, like other citizens, were on the threshold of freedom from the thraldom of his past political and industrial serfdom. We shall remain progressive. We are with parties only so long as they are progressive on all questions as well as the color question. We are for the people, all of the people and the political equality of all the people first and for party afterwards.—The Amsterdam News. The way and manner the colored delegates from the South were treated by the 3rd party convention at the Chicago meeting this week is no surprise to us, because the entire membership of this new party consists of Ex-Federal office holders and Negro hairst. Col. Roosevelt and his followers are now attempting to form a white man's party. They are actuated in doing this to catch many of the white voters of the South, who are admirers of the Colonel. No political party has ever succeeded that was brought into existence for the benefit of one race. No political party can succeed that is not possessed of some height and breadth of principles. To desert the Republican party which has done so much for our race would make us more than derelict, and unworthy of enjoying what this party has done for us.—Wagoner (Okla.) American. The Bull Moose party of Progressives seem to be progressing backward, as far as the Negroes' interests are concerned. Some of our people appear to be surprised at the attitude that Colonel Roosevelt has taken. The Colorado Statesman is not. Why should consideration in the deliberations of a convention be given to, it might be said, to self-styled delegates who have not a vote in their respective states? And even though they have a vote, such vote is not counted. For many years there has existed a number of self-appointed leaders of the race, who have attended both Republican and Democratic presidential conventions, clamoring for rights that they were not entitled to, accepting of bribes, showing themselves to be grafters pure and simple. This class of men is a disgrace to the race and should be relegated to the rear. These men were in attendance at the Bull Moose Lily White party, and got their just deserts.—Colorado Statesman. And it's Teddy, Roosevelt, and his running mate. Mr. Roosevelt is regarded by the American people, whether for or against him, as being the most popular man in all of America. The artist could have drawn a most attractive picture of this great man and the two colored men as they stood before that vast crowd at Chicago last Tuesday on the platform of the Progressive Convention. With one hand extended to the black man on his right he was showing that the door of "hope" was still open which stand for justice to the black man, and the left hand extended to the other colored man, seemed to say—I plead for the man of color of these United States justice and mercy. A most beautiful picture to all justice loving people.—The People's Recorder We say the Big Bull Moose was perfectly right in the stand he cook as far as the Negro of the South is concerned, the thing for the Negro to do is to let his bucke, down right where he is and fight with the man who has been his best friend to make the South what it ought to be. Let the Republican and Bull Moose and the Democratic parties all go down to h-1 if we must say the word; but the thing we as a race want to do, is to join hands with the best interest of the section of the country where we are living. We say if it is the Republican party go to that people, if it be the Democratic party and they will help you go to that party, and if it be the big Bull Moose and he signs up to him, we mean, don't let no party tie your hands, always be in the position for service to that party that is going to regular to the country the greatest service for all of the people. Any race of people who fail to judge life different are only parasites and the sooner they are cut down and bundled up and cast into the fire of time and their names blotted off the record better it is for those who are going to come after them.—Birmingham Reporter. Mr. Roosevelt has forfeited all right, if he ever had any, to Negro support. When he announced that he did not desire the support of the Negroes of the South or any white man supported by them, he resorted to a piece of cheap demagogy beneath a Tillman, Vardeman, Jeff Davis or any other Negro disfranchiser. No Democrat Negro hater has ever gone to the extent that Mr. Roosevelt's statement takes him on the race question. Mr. Roosevelt has set up a new moral standard, and the few Negro drunken bums, for we know some of them personally, whom he extols as the peer of any white man in the convention, shows absolutely the ignorance of the man as to the worth and character of the Negroes whom he slanders. No self-respecting Negro will support Mr. Roosevelt. No one except a toady on a vassal will worship or support any man who limits his possibility and shuts the door of hope and opportunity in his face. Of course, a few preachers and political bishops and other mercenary professionals, who are out for a tainted dollar, will bootlick and follow him, but the manly men, the self-respecting Negro men, the manhood of the race, will resent the Colonel's insinuation and insult, and will vote the Democratic ticket before they will support Theodore Roosevelt.—Atlanta Independent. Nation's Capital (Continued from page one.) colored people came up the other day at the Treasury Department. Mr. Allen, among other things, has charge of the public buildings of the country. A custodian in a large city of the border South sent in an urgent letter, recommending the dismissal of two colored laborers or caretakers of a postoffice, on the ground that on account of age they were unable to perform their duties with proper vigor and thoroughness. Both were past sixty years of age. Mr. Allen, sympathetic and just, not relishing the idea of turning out two aged workers, who had given the government years of faithful labor, refused to approve the demand for their dismissal, and ordered that they be continued in the service and assigned to lighter tasks, leaving the heavier burdens for the shoulders of younger employees. He declined to cut them off the federal payroll, and there they remain, drawing their $540 per annum for the remainder of their natural lives. Poor, and without other resources, they might have become public charges, but for the prompt relief brought to bear by Mr. Allen, The News in a Nut Shell The famous Griffin Sisters, Mabel and Emma, stopped over Sunday, en route from Richmond, Va., to Asbury Park, N.

The Misses Griffin have fallen in love with Washington and its hospitable people and seriously contemplate making this city their permanent home. They are always sure of a warm welcome there. At the conclusion of their eastern tour, the Misses Griffin will fill dates in Chicago, Indianapolis, Louisville and Cincinnati, after which they will undertake an invasion of the South.

President Taft has endeared himself to the toiling clerks and faithful federal employees at Washington by his prompt veto of the bill limiting civil service appointtees to a tenure of seven years.

It is hoped the bar will succeed in raising even more than the $40,000 suggested, and if an opportunity is presented, the grateful colored people would gladly swell the fund, in recognition of the priceless service he had rendered them in their battle for their civil rights. Prof. E. C. Williams, principal of the M Street High School, has been offered a full professorship at Howard University. He has the matter under advisement. The Evening Star, the best friend the Negro has among the Caucasian journals of the nation's capital, says editorially: "The colored man who wants to be a bull moose in good standing, will have to move north." The local branch of the National Negro Business League elected delegates Monday evening to the Chicago convention. Counsellor J. Frank Wheaton, of the New York bar, spent the week end in the city, the guest of J. Finlay Wilson. Both have been delivering a series of addresses in Virginia in the interest of the Elks. A "boom" is said to be on for Mr. Wheaton for a return to the chair of Grand Excalled Ruler at the Dayton session of the Grand Lodge, August 27, but the genial New Yorker says "nay," and w.l. support Harry H.

Kennedy, one of Washington's charming school teachers, is spending the month in Charleston, W. Va., with her sister, Mrs. J. Arthur Jackson, who recently went to West Virginia's pretty capital a bride. The news of the capture of Reuben T. Hill, the defaulting cashier of the True Reformers' Bank, Richmond, Va., set the capital all in a flutter. It is the current opinion that Mr. Hill will disclose some dark secrets that will implicate a number of prominent men of the order who have here before escaped serious connection with the notorious steal that broke up the ace's greatest financial institution and robbed the widow and orphan of their little all. There are those who are not disposed to regard Reuben Hill as the biggest sinner in the deal. It is town talk that Hill was deceived into loaning the bank's money to back up outside transactions that finally proved fraudulent, and when the time came for settlement there was nothing to do but make Hill the scape-goat and let him make his "getaway" as best he could. The outcome is being watched with interest. There is a feeling that Hill should be dealt with as lenienty as the law will allow, if he will uncover the thieves supposed to be in hiding. Among those who will attend the Chicago meeting of the National Negro Business League are Register and Mrs. J. C. Napier, Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson, Mrs. James E. Buckner Cyrus Field Adams, Dr. W.

Mr. Poe makes a timely suggestion to the effect that colored men in every section, who wish Col. Johnson appointed, should write Chairman Charles D.

Kenney, Wife of Resident Physician at Tuskegee, Succumbs to Ravages of Cancer From Which Knife Failed to Relieve Her. Tuskegee Institute, Aia, August 10. Mrs. John A. Kenney, wife of Tuskegee Institute's Medical Director, died at Tuskegee Institute Friday, August 9th at 12 o'clock from cancer of the kidney from which she had long suffered. In an effort to prolong her life and ease her sufferings, Dr. Kenney had her spend the month of July at the Battle Creek Sanitarium, Michigan. Not securing relief there, Mrs. Kenney requested that her husband's friends and associates in practice Dr. Daniel H. Williams, of Chicago, and Dr. F. A. Stewart, of Nashville, be asked to come to Tuskegee in order to perform an operation. Even the skill of such renowned practitioners, however, as Dr. Williams and Dr. Stewart availed nothing against the malignant malady which had fastened itself upon her. Dr. Kenney's thousands of friends throughout the country, and especially such as are members of the National Medical Association, of which he is the Secretary, will sorrow with him in his bereavement. The remains were carried to Forest Depot, Virginia, Mrs. Kenney's old home, for interment Sunday afternoon, August 11. CHICAGO OBSEVERES MASSACRE DAY Chicago, Ill., Aug. 15—Chicago turned back the pages of her history today and commemorated the one hundredth anniversary of the Fort Dearborn massacre, from which event dates the real beginning of the career of the Western metropolis. The celebration included a sham naval attack on the city, a reception to descendants of the pioneers and exercises under the joint auspices of the Chicago Historical Society, the Society of the War of 1812 and the United States Daughters of 1812. Fort Deanborn, located near the mouth of the Chicago river, was built in 1805 under the superintendance of Major John Whistler. At the beginning of the second war with Great Britain the fort was occupied by Captain Nathan Heald, with a garrison of 54 men. Upon orders from General Hull it was evacuated on Aug. 15, 1812. Immediately after the Indians burned the fort and began a massacre of the garrison and the residents of the little settlement that had sprung up near the fort.
