CROGMEN AND BOWEN ARE NOT RE-ELECTED Gammon Theological Seminary and Clark University May Be Put Under White Head. Special to the AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER. Atlanta, Ga., July 18—Considerable interest is taken as to the future of Clark University and Gammon Theological Seminary of this city. A few years ago, Prof. W. H. Crogman and Rev. J. E. W. Bowen, were elected presidents of Clark University and Gammon School of Theology, respectively, both succeeding white presidents. At the last meeting of the trustee board, Prof. Crogman and Dr. Bowen failed of reelection. The plan is to unite the two institutions under one head and elect a white man as president of the combined institutions. It is alleged that the services of Prof. Crogman and Dr. Bowen had been unsatisfactory. This change in the management of these two institutions from the supervision of Negro professors to that of a white president is looked upon as a backward step in the management of these institutions. Prof. Cogman and Dr. Bowen will be retained as professors in Clark University and Gammon School of Theology. JOHN BROWN'S SON Devoting His Time To Perfecting Flying Machine.

CANDIDATES GALORE FOR POLITICAL PLUM ALL WANT TO GET THE JOB OF COLLECING THE CUSTOMS AT GEORGE TOWN,D. C. Appointment Will Probably Be Made By President Taft Next Week-No White Man Will Get Register Vernon's Job Because He Is Going To Stay On The Job Himself - Minister Crum Receiving Final Instructions Before Sailing for His Post At Liberia. Bureau of the AFBO-AMERICAN LEDGER. 1918 11th St. N. W. Washington, July 15—The question of who is to be Collector of Customs at Georgetown is to be settled soon. The President and Secretary of the Treasury McVeagh have been going over the matter this week at Beverly Ever since the announcement that the new man might be a Negro, there has been a hue and cry loud enough to be heard at Beverly without the aid of a long distance telephone. The argument is that the place is purely local, and therefore should be filled by a local man. At first the name of Mr. Henry A. Bucker, Collector of Internal Revenue at Atlanta seemed to lead all the rest as the man for the job. Since then Mr.-James C. Napier, of Nashville, has been proposed, and it is said he can have it if he will signify his acceptance. There has been talk that Auditor Ralph W. Tyler might be transferred to the Georgetown office. District Attorney Cobb is mentioned as a possibility, as are also Attorney Albert S. White and Dr. E. E. Underwood, of Kentucky. Just now the bourbon newspapers in the district are howling because assurance has been given by President Taft that Register of the Treasury W. T Vernon is to remain in office. For several months these journals have been trying to foment strife in the Register's office and has been slyly suggesting that a revolt on the part of the white clerks might so frighten the President that he would be led to see the advisability of substituting a white chief, but to use the slang expression, there was "nothing doin." Register Vernon is here to stay. He gave up his presidency of the Western University at Quindaro, Kansas, voluntarily, and his relations with the leaders and the people everywhere are cordial and satifactory. Dr. W. D. Crum, the newly appointed Minister to Liberia, is putting in several hours each day receiving instructions instructions for the work he is to do at Morovia. He will have many knotty problems to solve and will find himself measuring arms with the best diplomas of Europe. That he will make good no one doubts, as his expérience has been of a character to make him familiar with human nature and how, to deal with men. He will go to New York in a few days, from which point he will sail for Morovia, relieving Minister Lyon, who has held the post for the past seven years.

Baxley, of Hillsboro, is reported cured of the most aggrivated case of "pellagra" that had come under the observation of medical men in this state.

MISS WHITAKER BUT 14 YEARS OLD. Rev. Clinton DeWitt Sharp And Little Eunice Whitaker, Who Left Schenectady A Week Ago Are Found In Kansas City—She Says He Has Treated Her Like A Daughter—Their Queer Reason For Wanting To Go Back. Kansas City, Mo. (Special).—The story that a minister of 35 and a girl of 14 from Schenectady, N. Y., told the police, after their arrest here, is the familiar recital of the runaway pair—up to a certain point. Beyond that it lifts itself above the ordinary romance. Both admit they did wrong, but neither is repentant. And both declare they purposely let the home folks know where they were, so they could be taken back—just to get even with the girl's father. The runaway pair, Rev. Clinton DeWitt Sharp, of the Seventh Day Adventists Church, and Eunice Graham Whitaker, were arrested in a board-house at 1605 Holmes Street. They were living there as Mr. and Mrs. Harry Elsworth Artwell. Captain Whitsett ordered the arrest at the request of William H. Hathaway, sheriff of Schenectady. A year ago last November Sharp arrived at Schenectady from Rochester with his wife. He began his work in the community. After he preached at the home of Asa Whitaker, a few miles out of town, Whitaker, his wife, his son William, 7 years old, and his three daughters, Cora, 11 years old; Helen, 4 years, and Eunice 14 years old, all joined his church.

Berlin (Special).—The provincial court which is hearing the case of Rudolph Francie against Commander Peary to recover $10,000 ordered Francie to product Dr. Frederick A. Cook as a witness, Francie, who was associated with Dr. Cook in North Polar exploration, demands $10,000 in return for a collection of fur, walrus and narwhal teeth which he alleues Peary required him to surrender in consideration of taking him back home from Etah. of the city and made an entire circuit of the resort before he descended to receive the plaudits of the cheering crowd. Mrs. Curtiss was among the first to greet him. Walter Brookins, who holds the world's altitude record, and Fran Coffin, his rivals, flying the Wright machine, were among these who crowded around him and extended their congratulations over the splendid flight. In the early evening Curtiss set a new mark for quick climbing by sweeping his machine 1,600 feet in the air in 5 minutes and 5 seconds. After a wait of hours for a slowing down of the sharp southerly wind, which swept in from the ocean, Curtiss rose in the air at 3.22 P.M. After a short warming-up spin, he swung back over the upper mark, made by range flags on a Boardwalk building at Massachusetts Avenue, and started on his long fly. Owing to the cross whiffs, which still held strong in the upper air, Curtiss never reached a faster speed than 50 miles an hour, his average for the race being about 40 miles. The time for each of the five-miles laps was as follows: First lap, 8:19 4-5. Second, 6:01 2-5. Third, 7:27 1-5. Fourth, 7:33 4-5. Fifth, 8:33 1-2. Sixth, 7:39. Seventh, 7:27 1-2. Eighth, 7:29. Ninth, 7:21 3-10. Tenth, 7:21 1-5. Graham Whitaker refused to believe the stories. One night she went to the minister to confide a story to him. A note from Sharp to the girl followed the next day. That night they eloped. "I loved her," the minister confessed to Captain Whitett. "She is only a child, but I loved her." "I am willing to endure punishment; I am willing to go to the penitentiary for years; I am willing to be tarred and feathered, for I know that the only wrong I have done was an innocent one. I should not have taken the girl away, I know this. But I did it when my heart was full of sympathy and when that sympathy ruled my better judgment." Captain Whitett turned to the girl. "And you?" he said. "You would rather be with this man than with your father and mother?" "Yes. I asked him to take me away from Schenectady. I wanted never to see my father and mother again. I pleaded with him, and finally he said we would go. "When we got to Kansas City we did not have much money. It was June 5 when we left Schenectady, and it was June 7 when we arrived here and went to a place where we believed we could hide. He has kept every promise he made me, and he has treated me as if I were his daughter. There have been times when we had no money and nothing to eat, but we have felt happier that way than if I were home and with my father. He earned a living —what living we had—by selling religious papers and writing cards and peddling soap. There would be days when there were no sales, but we trusted in God and we have lived. "Then we saw my father's denial that he had mistreated me in the Schenectady papers. We had written letters to five relatives, telling that we were going away because my father had mistreated me, and I suppose the papers got hold of one of these letters. My father denied it. I answered the letter and told exactly where we were and how we were living and sent it to the paper. Then we were arrested." "Did you ever intend to marry him?" the Captain asked. "Never," the girl said resolutely. "Then how was all this to end?" "I don't know—neither of us knew until that day we saw the Schenectady papers and saw the denials of my father. Then both of us decided to go back there and do what we should have done in the beginning—make charges against my father. You won't need any requisition papers. We are willing to go without them." turant and former chief of police, in a raid of alleged "speakeasies" in a raiding scuffle, and narrowly escaped lynching at that time. When news from the hospital that Howard had died passed over the city the fury of the mob took definite form. Large battering rams were directed upon the doors of the Licking County jail and the deputies were powerless. The doors fell after nearly an hour's attack. Crying pletiously, Etherington, a curly-headed Kentuckian, who has been serving as a strikebreaker since he was released from marine service three months ago, was dragged forth. "I didn't mean to do it," he wailed. His cries fell upon deaf ears. Fearing that the mob spirit would not be satisfied by one victim Sherif Linke immediately asked Adjutant General Weybrecht for troops to protect six other "dry" raiders held at the city prison, in another section of the town. A hurried guard was thrown out in their defense. The mob, after the first taste of blood, seemed to quiet. In the melee as the mob was leaving the jail eight prisoners held for petty offenses escaped. One refused leave. As Etherington mounted the block ready for the swing he was asked to make a speech. To learn all young fellows not to try to make a living the way I have done—by strike-breaking and taking away jobs like this," he declared. "I had better have worked, and I wouldn't be here now." Shoots A Young Girl. New York (Special)—Unable to persuade Nellie Wesslery to run away with him, Joseph Frank, of Newark, N. J., a married man and the father of two children, shot her through the head and then killed himself, in full sight of the crowds that thronged the boardwalk at South Beach Station, Staten Island. The girl will probably die. In an antemortem statement, she said Frank had been begging her to marry him for a year, although she knew he was already married. Subject: Peter's Confession, Matt. 16:23-28—Commit to Memory Verse 26. GOLDEN TEXT.—"Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God," Matt. 16:16 TIME.—Summer, A. D. 29. PLACE.—Caesarea, Philip. EXPOSITION—I. Peter Confessing Christ, 13:16. Jesus had been praying in seclusion (Luke 9:18). The time had come to tell the disciples of His approaching death, but as a preparation for this sad information they must first be brought to a distinct apprehension of His deity. So He put to them the question of v. 13. What man think of Christ is an all-important matter. Jesus followed up His first question with one more personal, "but ye, whom say ye that I am?" It is more important for each of us, whom we think and say Jesus, is than whom men think and say that He is. Jesus wished them to put their conviction about Him into a confession with the mouth (Ro. 10:10). Peter answered for the company as usual. He was no quicker to see the truth than the rest, but quicker to put it into words or action (cf. Jno. 11:7). "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God," cried the Peter. This confession had been made before (Jno. 1:49; Matt. 14:33; cf. Jno. 6:69; and R. V.), but the confession as now made was with clearer conception of its import. The confession here made is of the utmost practical importance (1 Jno. 4:15; 5:1, 6). It contains the fundamental truth of the gospel (Acts 9:20). II. Christ Confessing Peter, 17-20. Jesus was pleased with Peter's confession of Him, and He is similarly pleased when we confess Him in a like manner to-day (Matt. 10:32-83). This confession made weak Simon, son of Jonah, Petros (a piece of rock). Jesus said Peter had had this great truth revealed to him by the heavenly Father. No one can really know Jesus as the Son of God unless God does reveal it to him (1 Cor. 2:14; 12:3). But God reveals it to any one who wishes to know and wills to do the truth (Jno. 7:17; 16:13-15). The practical proof that we believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, is found in 1 Jno. 5:5. Jesus said upon this rock (Petra), faith in which made Simon a Petra (piece of rock). He would build His church. Jesus Christ is Himself the chief converse of the church (Bph. 2:4; 10:32; Jno. 8:18, 20, 21). And all built Him become themselves living stones (1 Pet. 2:5, 6 R. V). The gates of hades shall not prevail against the church built upon Christ and faith in Him as the Son of God. Members of that church will fall asleep, but hades will have no power over them, the will depart to be with Christ (Phil. 153), and others will arise to carry on their work till Christ come. HI. The Cost of True Discipleship, 24:28. The time was now ripe for Jesus to declare to His disciples His approaching rejection, suffering and death. He tells them he "must" to go to Jerusalem; "must" suffer, "must" be killed, must be raised again. There was an imperative necessity for these things. Why "must" He die? (Jno. 3:14; Heb. 9:22; Isa. 53:4. 6; Cor. 5:21; Gal. 3:13. 1 Pet. 2:24). But there is another glorious "must," must be raised again (Ro. 1:4; 4:25; 5:9; Jno. 14:19). Peter again rushes to the front, but not this time with a God-given confession of faith, but a flesh-given protest against the cross. And now Jesus pronounces him no longer Peter (rock-man), but Satan (an adversary), and "a stumbling-block." All this downfall and humiliation came from his minding not the things of God, but the things of men. To face the cross is the mind of God, to shun it is the mind of men. Which help you have? Then follow the wondrous words that set forth in the clearest and most searching way the conditions and cost of real discipleship (1) "Let him deny himself." "Mean self-denial is the denial of self." The word denial "deny," means to affirm that one has no acquaintance or connection with one. "Just as Peter denied his Lord" 26:72 as Peter denied his Lord to deny self then to is to self—that it comes forward with its claims, its demands, its interest, its desires, its opinions, its strength, its anything—"I will know you." It is to renounce itself with all that you etc. (2 Tit. 3:12). "Let him take up his cross." The cross is that up his cross and shame that he in the path of loyalty to God, literal execution, on a cross for Jesus and persecution for all who etc. (2 Tit. 3:12). To take up his cross is to go right on the path of duty and meet the suffering and shame and crucifixion that there. To compromise with the world to avoid these, is to refuse the cross and cease to be a disciples. (3) "And follow Me," i.e., to have the mind of Christ (Phil. 2:5-8. 1 Pet. 19:21). This looked hard to the disciples, but Jesus went on to show how well it paid, that a man made a bad bargain if he gained the whole world and in doing it lost his soul or life. Jesus is coming again in the glory of His Father with His angels. In that day every one shall receive according to his deeds. Verse 28 does not refer to the second coming of Christ, but, as is evident from the context, to that anticipation of His second coming that immediately followed, His transfiguration. As Peter and James and John saw Him on that occasion, they saw Him coming in His kingdom. How to Work Bestfully. There is a life in the will of God, so quiet, so at peace with Him, so at rest in His joy, so perfectly content that He is doing best, that the lines are wiped out of the face, the fever is gone from the restless eye, and the whole nature is still. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him, and then spend the strength other men waste, in fussy anxiety, in helping your fellowmen.—F. B. Meyer. Weekly Review of Trade and Market Reports. Bradstreet's says: Wholesale trade and industry are quiet as a whole, the result partly of midsummer and holiday influences, and also because of the desire of buyers to await more definite information as to crop outcome. Retail trade, on the other hand has been rather more active, being stimulated by favorable weather, but despite this and more sales the volume of final distribution is not up to expectations. Industry has felt the influence of lessened demand and midyear shutdowns for repairs, and less than normal time is being worked in the iron and steel, cottones, woolen, jewelry and in some sections coal-mining and flour-milling. Low water in the Northwestern streams is responsible for less doing in the output of lumber. The price movement shows contours of demand, which often vary general declines in June, and the cereals and cotton are higher on the week. Collections feel the influence of quiet trade in reports of only fair payments. While quiet and in many lines disappointment rules as to the current volume of distribution, it is worth while to recall that the six-month period now ended has had some quite favorable results. Thus building expenditures aggregate only a small sum less than for the like portion of 1909 and greatly exceeded 1908.

Takes on New Life. NOTED DIVINE'S GREAT WORK Rev. H. C. Randolph Reorganizes Scattered Members Into an Enthusiastic Body of Earnest Workers. Phenomenal Results Accomplished In Short Time. The cause of the Baptist denomination in Lansing, Mich., has been given great impetus since the appearance of the Rev. H. C. Randolph as a pastor in the city. Two years ago, when the Rev. Mr. Randolph commenced his labors in Lansing, one could almost count persons of Baptist proclivities upon the fingers of the two hands. Denominational Interest was at low tide, and it seemed as though the cause was about to be lost in so far as any tangible work or influence was concerned. Rev. Mr. Randolph took in the situation at a glance and immediately set about to get in touch with all persons of Baptist faith and belief. In a very short time he had reached a sufficient number to warrant a call for the purpose of perfecting an organization in order to have a regular time and place of worship. Those who responded to the call were very earnest and enthusiastic. They had long wanted a church home and a permanent spiritual leader. Out of this temporary organization ten months ago was organized what is now known as the Hillsdale Baptist church. At the suggestion of the pastor the congregation purchased a large vacant lot in Hillsdale street. After paying for the ground the next step to be taken was the erection of a suitable house of worship. The plan as mapped out by those in charge was first to erect a frame building at a cost of about $1,600. The idea of the members was not to undertake more than they could pay for within a reasonable time without overtaxing themselves. In the meantime the pastor was bustly engaged in interesting the public in what he do. M. REV H. C. RANDOLPH. stred to accomplish for his little flock in the way of a more substantial church edifice. Several influential white persons became interested in the work as presented by the Rev. Mr. Randolph, so much so that he was assured of obtaining sufficient financial assistance to build such a church as he thought proper for the outlook of his field. He made known the possibilities for such to his people. They took kindly to his suggestions and fell in line with his aggressive ideas, with the result that at the present time the Hillsdale Baptist church owns property valued at more than $5,000, clear of all debt. Among those who ably assisted the pastor and congregation in their upward struggle we mention Dr. Charles G. Jenkins, who not only helped in a financial way, but in an official capacity. Wilmot A. Johnson, a member of the church, also rendered splendid help in perfecting the plans and work. The new church edifice is a beautiful brick structure nicely furnished and brilliantly lighted. Much credit is given to the ladies' sewing circle for its zeal and untiring efforts in securing the money with which to pay for the foundation of the church and also for putting in the expensive windows of art decorations. The new parsonage soon to be erected will have a frontage of seventy-five feet. The members of the church are proud of the splendid record which Rev. Mr. Randolph has made, since taking charge of the work. He is also held in high esteem by the people of the city and community generally. The church has a thrifty Sunday school, which is steadily increasing in members and interest. The Baptist Young People's union is under the leadership of Mr. T. Dooley. At the dedicatory service of the church held recently the address was delivered by the Rev. Dr. R. L. Bradley, an eloquent young divine of Toledo. GOOD REPORT FROM TEXAS. Race Progress Shown at Recent Emancipation Celebration at Houston. The report of the recent emancipation celebration held at Houston, Tex., is highly encouraging. Such gatherings when properly conducted have a tendency to uplift the masses of our people in ambition, self reliance and good fellowship one toward the other. Editor Charles N. Love, speaking of the affair in his paper, says: "The parade, the speech of Commissioner Emmett J. Scott, the reserved and dignified bearing of the people during the two days of the emancipation celebration, have been the continued talk of all the citizens. All express themselves as enjoying this time more than in many years past. "They promised to show the progress of the race along professional, industrial, commercial and educational lines, and they did so, to the letter, to the pleasure and satisfaction of all classes, white and colored. The daily white papers commended the work in glowing terms." DETROIT'S BEAUTY SCHOOL. Enables Many Young Women of the Race to Become Self Supporting. One of the most helpful institutions of learning which are open to Afro-American women is the Butler Beauty Institute, Detroit, Mich. Over 100 of our young women for the past ten years have reason to feel grateful for diplomas from this institution, fitting them, as it has, for the refining and profitable work of increasing the beauty of womankind. These young women have each gone out into the world of beauty-art and [Picture of a woman with a large, curly hairstyle and a light-colored dress. She is looking directly at the camera.] MME. LULU BUTLER. are earning all the way from $10 to $20 weekly as a result of the course of instruction in dermatology, manicuring, hair culture and other refining arts taught in this institution. One of the most pleasing characteristics of Mme. Butler's school is that no outward evidence of racial antipathies is permitted there, and our students are accorded the same care and attention that others receive, which is always right and proper in all institutions of learning. Not only this, but one exceptionally capable and prepossessing young woman of the race. Miss Adele Thompson, has been retained as one of the regular instructors of dermatology. Mine. Butler is a highly accomplished woman, possessed of rare business and executive ability, and has built up the Butler institute during the past ten years from a small beginning to its present dominating position in its particular field. There is no more complete institution of its kind in America. A course of three months' training enables the average student to secure a diploma for efficiency in these arts, and the shortness of the term is what makes this school so great a boon to young women. POTOMAC RIVER BAPTISTS TO MEET AT INDIAN HEAD. Pleasant Grove Baptist Church Will Entertain the Association. The ninth annual meeting of the Portomax River Baptist association, which will be held at Indian Head, Charles county, Md., July 19, 20 and 21, promises to be one of the best attended in the history of the association. The Pleasant Grove Baptist church, where the sessions will be held, is one of the most successful churches in southern Maryland. Rev. Dr. R. B. Ward, pastor of the Oak Grove Baptist church, Ironsides, Md., is president of the convention. He is a man of rare equipment and is a graduate of the old Richmond Theological seminary. Rev. Dr. D. G. Mack, pastor of Macedonia Baptist church at Baltimore, is the corresponding secretary. The other officers are Rev. J. B Brymes, first vice moderator; Rev. C H. Howard, second vice moderator Mrs. H. C. Ward, recording secretary Mrs. M. Price Carroll, assistant secretary, and Mr. Charles Ross, treasurer Brooklyn to Greet Women's Clubs. The fourteenth annual convention of the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs will be held with the Dorcas Home Missionary society of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ Brooklyn, beginning on Wednesday Aug. 10. The convention will be in session three days. A large number of clubs will send delegates, and some very important matters will come up for consideration. Mrs. C. S. Gunner of Hillburn. N. Y., is the efficient president of the organization. SEEK SIZE IN TELEPHONE GIRLS. Physical Examinations Often Required, With Educational Test Highest in Boston. She is not a telephone girl if she is under five feet in height. The companies employ only girls who can reach to the top of their switchboards and a reasonable distance sideways from their positions, and the short ones never get a chance. Conditions existing in telephone exchanges throughout the country are interestingly set forth in the report recently sent to the Senate dealing with the investigation made by the Bureau of Labor. The bulk of the report deals with the women employees—there are 17,219 of them working at the switchboards for twenty-seven companies in twenty-six States which furnished the data. Agents of the bureau visited seventy-three exchanges and found them, generally speaking, well housed. In many cases the girls were compelled to walk up from one to four flights of stairs, and more than two-thirds of the complaints heard were because of the lack of elevators. In some cities imposing medical or physical examinations are required of applicants. The height is often determined without the applicant's knowledge by a young woman who engages the former in conversation while she compares the level of the other's eyes with her own. The educational requirements are usually that the applicant must have passed the sixth or seventh grade in grammar school. Boston alone prefers high schools girls, but is not always successful in obtaining them. Girls are put into training schools for a four weeks' course before they are placed at the switchboard. Wages for telephone girls vary from a highest monthly average of $36.96 in New York City to $22.40 in Nashville, Tenn. In some of the smaller cities the average goes even lower, particularly in the South. The Bell company employs 16,252 women operators at an average monthly wage of $30.91. In nearly all offices the operating force is divided into four general shifts. Day operators usually work between 6 a. m. and 7.30 p. m. Evening operators usually work from 11 a. m. to 8 p. m. Night operators usually work beyond midnight, while the work of "split-trick" operators is divided into two or more periods by an intervals of more than two hours between two of those periods. The newer and, therefore, younger girls are usually put on the "split-trick." Efficient service is possible up to 225 calls an hour for each girl. She cannot answer more than that without injury to herself or injuring the service. The bureau has reached the conclusion that the operator who has not enough to do to keep her constantly busy, however, does not properly attend to what she has. Commissioner Neill strongly urges the practical elimination of overtime for operators, and says this can be brought about if the larger cities will set the example. New York City has done so, but in Chicago the Bell operators have about twenty-eight per cent. of overtime and in New Orleans as high as ninety-eight per cent. A widespread and intelligent effort on the part of the companies to look after the comfort and well being of its women employees was found. On the other hand, the investigators discovered that the women were loyal to the companies and enthusiastic for their work, all of which is said to add much to the efficiency of service to the public. ```markdown ``` A new system of treating eggs so as to prevent them from growing stale when in cold storage, has been discovered in Rochester, N. Y. This consists in subjecting the eggs to an electrical current. The theory is that eggs when placed in storage are alive and are gradually frozen to death, whereas if the life is destroyed by an electrical current before they are placed in storage they do not taste stale, even when kept on ice for a long period of time An electric lighting plant in Nebraska is manufacturing ice as a byproduct. The exhaust steam of the plant, which would otherwise go to waste, is utilized in the ammonia absorption process of ice manufacture, and also for distilling water from which the ice is made. This venture, we are informed, has proved a very profitable one for the lighting company, and might be copied to advantage by other plants similarly situated. Ladies!

Negro lynching has reached that stage in this country that it is hard noticed, so common-place has it become. A few days ago a mob ruined the wrong man and then after finding its mistake hunted for, found and lynched the all-aged right man. Within the last two or three months at least a half dozen Negroes have yielded up their lives to lynching mobs, and as far as we have been able to understand and read, not a single paper, white or A few days ago a white mob in newark, Ohio, lynched a young white man for shooting, in self defense, he claimed, and in the line of is duty, as he also claimed, another white man. Was this case ke all the others, passed by in since? Oh no. Not only was it made the subject of newspaper editorial criticism, but was exploited ar and wide as a crime that ought to be punished to the full extent of the law. But the sheriff and the mayor of the city came in for denunciation because of lack of protection to this infortunate young white man. The papers unhesitatingly called upon the Governor to reinforce both of them. One paper calls the crime a lot upon the fame of the town, the county and the State. Now why all this fuss about a single white man when a dozen Negroes are strung up and nothing ail about it? Is a white man, as a man, as a human being entitled to more consideration because of his color than would be a black man? Are not both men? Were they not, both of them, made by the same creator, and were not both of them, according to the laws of the land, made and provided, entitled to a trial by their peers, and if found guilty suffer and punishment provided in just such cases? Why then this discrimination? Is it a more benicious crime to snuff out the life of one man than another? Is one man who commits a crime entitled to more consideration than mother? Is justice blind, or has it no eye, open to see of what color, or face the culprit is before passing entrance? It is high time that this nation should begin to see that the laws of every State and community were properly administered. Otherwise they become a farce and a stench in the nostrils of the people of the world. Let us have justice that is justice and not a pretense of justice. THE ENTERING WEDGE. The political kaleidoscope is showg many things these days but one of more importance than the movement of that class of politicians known as Insurgents. Those who followed with some degree of re the work of the last Congress, member how the Insurgent elent snatched the wand of power om Joe Cannon's hand and gave him to understand that the time of one-man rule in the Legislature branch of the government was at an end. It will also be remembered how this Insurgent element brought legis lation to a standstill, until certain fundamental changes were made in contemplated laws, which seemed to have in them some consideration of the people, who had by their franchise, or through their representatives in State legislatures, elevate them to office. It was a fine showing of the fact that some men in Congress want really to represent their constituency, and so keep up a representative government. It now appears that the Insurgent fight does not close with Congress, but is to go on, and these men who dared to break with the regulars in Congress will go back to the people and declare the time is at hand for the formation of a new political party, as both parties are so allied to special interests, backed by millions of dollars of money that they are blinded to the common good of common people. Ex-Secretary Garfield has laid down the principles of the new party in Ohio, and so has driven the entering wedge that is calculated to split the Republicans throughout the West, unless there shall arise a peacemaker to reconcile the Regulars and Insurgents. We have had our car to the ground and have heard the hurrying feet of regulars and Insurgents, as they have been headed for Sagmore Hill, where they have gone to confer with Roosevelt, admittedly, the most important political factor in the nation today. It is hoped by the Regulars that Roosevelt may be able to swing both divisions of the party together and so save the Republican party from factional differences and defeat this fall. --- WAY TO TREAT LYNCHERS. The Associated Press dispatches of a few days ago give an account of another lynching. This time it occurred in Newark, Ohio, and the person lynched was a white man hardly arrived at manhood. The lynching itself is hardly to be noted per se inasmuch as accounts of lynching are so frequent. The main feature, however, of this lynching is that the person lynched was in the State of Ohio, and was a representative of the Anti-Saloon League, employed for the purpose of breaking up the illegal sale of alcoholic beverages. Another noticeable feature of the lynching is that the person lynched belonged to the white race. The lynching was attended with all of the horrible details of barbarism. It is noticeable also that the Associated Press dispatches report that a Negro assisted in this lynching. This is another instance of the lawlessness which prevails in all parts of the country. The lynching of a white man is a thing that might be expected. We have always maintained that the lynching of a white man was only the next step after the lynching of Negroes. The country cannot sov the winds without the inevitable result of reaping the whirlwinds. There are two encouraging features, however, about this Ohio lynching. One is that when the lynching of white men becomes very prevalent a strong public sentiment will be created against lynching that will put an end to the barbarous practice. As long as Negroes alse are lynched no strong sentiment can be found to back up the laws against lynching, but when the murderous lynchers invade the ranks of the white race itself, then a remedy will be found. In this particular case Governor Harmon, of Ohio, has set an example for the governors of other States in that he has personally visited the scene of the lynching, suspended the Mayor of Newark, Ohio, the sheriff and other officials for malfeasance in office and has ordered that a special investigation be made of this lynching under the direction of the Attorney General of the State. Thus far well nigh a dozen arrests have been made, and the persons arrested have been incarcerated without bail. Further arrests are looked for. America had as well renounce its claims to be among the most civilized of nations as long as it tolerates within its territory the taking of life without due process of law. It is well for those in authority to consider even how long the stability of the American government may be maintained when lawlessness prevails throughout the country with out regard to section and when people are lynched without regard to race or color. It is hoped that the investigation and outcome of this Newark Lynching will be so wholesome that a high standard will be set in all States and that Lynching will soon be a thing of the past. Governor Harmon is a representative of the Democratic party, and is spoken of as the most probable nominee for the Presidency on the Democratic ticket in 1012. We are VIEWS OF THE AFRO-AMERICAN PRESS al most led to believe that Harmon in the White House, regardless of his politics, would be a blessing to this country in general and to the Negro in particular. We have always main tained that men who stand for principles should be considered at all hazards regardless of the parties with which they may be affiliated. May the tribe of Governor Harmon increase. --- The Afro-American Ledger is under many obligations to Dr. Washington for the invitation to be one of the party making the tour of the state of Delaware. It was the first time in the history of Negro journalism that so large a party of editors and correspondents had the pleasure of meeting for the purpose of seeing and reporting on such an interesting event as the tour through Delaware. The pleasure of meeting with such an intelligent body of men, many of whom we had not seen before, although knowing them by reason of exchange, was a delightful one. The opportunity for an exchange, of ideas was most helpful, and it is the hope of the writer, as is also his belief, that great good will come out of it. We feel after all that the great work being done by Negro journals throughout the country is coming to be recognized, and that the future holds much in store for both the producers of Negro journals and those who read and profit by them. There is no better place for your children at this time of the year than the public play grounds. These grounds are under the care and direction of competent and trained young women and men and your children will be looked after and well cared for. It is far better to let them spend their time at the playground than in the streets, where you do not always know where they are and whre they are in danger of accident and falling in with bad company. It is wonderful to see the spasm of virtue that has swept over the country since the question of moving pictures of the Johnson-jeffries fight came up last Monday. We are as much opposed to the show of these pictures as any one, but we are equally opposed to the exhibition of the Clausman in the theatres. It is to be hoped when it is next slated for this city, the Mayor and all the rest of these holy people will see to it that it also comes under the ban of undesirable theatrical performances. If Johnson's championship means anything from the standpoint of racial significance, it should carry with it the suggestion that the survival of the colored race is to be found in the preservation of its great gilt. It should impress the importance of resisting dissipation, avoiding dirt and disease, which go hand in hand; it should teach the Negroes the lesson of temperance and cleanliness and hygiene-Southern Reporter. Prize fighting is becoming a menace to the peace and happiness of the races and ought to be abolished. In a great fight like that between Johnson and Jeffries race feeling will creep out and race pride will be injured no matter how little the fight appeals to the loftier ideals of man. For the sake of peace let us have no more prize ring comparisons of the physical prowess of the Negro and the white man.—Lodge Journal and Guide, Norfolk, Va. Quite a deal of trouble seems to have brewed out of the Johnson-Jeffries fight, from reports from the different cities of race riots. The Negro has proved the superior of the white man in this respect and he is to be commended for same. It was not a matter of race so much as it was a matter of which was the best man. It would seem quite natural for each loyal Negro to be elated over the fact of Johnson having won the victory, the same as a white man would if Jeffries had won; therefore, why should any one be sore over a person's rejoicing. - East Tennessee News. The fight between Jeffries and Johnson which was scheduled and advertised to take place on July 4th, came off as the promoters guaranteed and resulted in the defeat of Jeffries by Johnson. But we cannot see anything in the success of Johnson or the defeat of Jeffries which would or can make up for this brutal exhibition—two men with their fist doing their best to strike each other senseless. TO THE EDITOR OF THE AFRO- AMERICAN LEADER: Prize fighting and moving picture shows seem to be the centre of attraction in America since July 4th. The spirit of the press seems to be in opposition to the moving pictures of the Johnson-Jeffries fight, in which Johnson won the championship of the world. If Johnson had been defeated by Jeffries would the same opposition exist? Isn't the officers of the law sufficient to protect the citizens in the various cities of our land? Was not the promoters of the fight white men? Was not the winners and losers of the fight July 4th, chiefly white men? Isn't it an indication of weakness on the part of the various States and cities that they cannot protect their subjects who are peaceful and quiet citizens. I am in opposition to prize fighting, it is brutal and ought not to be allowed. Moving picture show houses I never visit, and have only seen the pictures shown in churches. Now if prize fighting and moving pictures are legalized I don't see why the shows don't take place where they are scheduled. Respectfully, M. E. MINISTERS CLOSING SESSION Upon the invitation of the Leaders and Stewards meeting, the Methodist Ministers and their friends were the guests of the Centennial M. E. Church this week for their closing session. The meeting opened with a stirring sermon by Rev. W. H. Gaines. The papers by Revs. Cummings, Naylor, Hughes, and Turpeau upon the general subject of "City Evangelization" were strong and thoughtful and elicited warm discussion on the part of the preachers and laymen. The meeting was overwhelmingly in favor of street preadhling as a means of reaching those, who do not go to the churches. The workers at Contennial provided excellent entertainment, free to the large company of preachers and laymen and the day was happily and profitably spent. In the evening a fine ministerial concert was given for the benefit of the church at which many churches were represented by singers and speakers. A vote of thanks was tendered Dr. Shaw and his people for their generous entertainment. We are told that this will perhaps be the last prize fight allowed in this country, as Nevada which is the last State without laws governing same will at the next session of the Legislature place itself in the column of all other States with laws prohibiting these brutal affairs. We hope this will be so, and thus an end will be put to this shameless spectacle of men brutally beating each other into insensibility.—Charleston (S. C.) Messenger. Just because Johnson proved to be a better fighting machine than Jeffries it does not follow that any member of either race should throw connipious fits. Racial superiority is not decided by tests of physical and endurance.—The Advocate (W. Va.) Wednesday morning, the Atlanta Constitution very ably and truthfully stated with reference to the Johnson-Jefferies mill, that the best brute won. This was the whole truth, and the Independent cannot see any reason for friction between the whites and the blacks. It is quite natural that the blacks should sympathize with Jack Johnson and the whites with Jim Jeffries, but follow the proposition to its last analysis, as a moral question, neither of these great gladiators deserve enough consideration from decent people and neighbors to fall out among themselves.—Atlanta Independent. The victory of Johnson over Jetfries in a prize fight in Keno, Nev., last Monday has caused a great commotion in this country. We fail to see why it should be so. The Negroes are of course proud of J. Arthur Johnson, but they are not going to lose their minds because he won the victory. If the daily papers would stop publishing the groundless rumors about riots and near-riots the matter would soon be forgotten. The latest agitation above the moving pictures is another mistake the daily press is making. Is it a case of making mountains of mole Collector Wm. F. Stone, and his alleged political methods are the cause of a movement being launched in opposition by a number of leading Republicans of independent mind. The most of these are active members of the Young Men's Republican Club and it is there that the meetings are being held. Mr. Stone has, according to these men, conducted the affairs of the Republicans with an eye-single to his own political fortunes, and this has constantly made the Republicans suffer defeat. These men point out the fact that besides federal patronage Mr. Stone and his close corporation of friends have had very little to feed on and the time is now ripe for placing the affairs of the Republican party in the hands of those who would fight zealously for the party principles. At a meeting a few nights ago speeches attacking Stone and his methods were made by Louis McKim Kiues, former State Senator David K. Dick, Henry Lingelfelder and Charles J. F. Steiner, who is in the race to defeat Congressman Kronmiller for renomination. Mr. Charles H. Torsch, who is a candidate for the Republican mayoralty nomination, declared as utterly false the alleged statement made by Collector Stone that he (Mr. Torsch) had asked the collector's backing for the mayoralty nomination. TEXAS MOVEMENT CAMPAIGN. The Executive Committee of the Texas Purchase Movement met on Thursday afternoon to consider plans for their campaign for the purchase and setting aside of Texas as an independent state governed and controlled by colored people. Those behind the movement will shortly inaugurate a campaign of publicity. ALUMNI ASSOCIATION EXERCISES The Alumni Association of the Association Interstate College gave a reception at the school, Mullikin and Spring streets, Thursday evening of last week. An interesting literary and musical program was presented. At the conclusion of the exercises the principal, Rev. A. M. Molock was presented a purse. hills. As was stated in the Nashville American there will be some fools, but they will be fools just the same, pictures or no pictures. The whole affair shows inconsistency of the rankest nature. When the "Clas sman" was staged a few years ago the doors of every theatre in the country were thrown open. Billboards were covered with pictures that were of a nature, of a truth, to create a hatred toward a helpless people, but no city torbade the show being exhibited, but when a Negro prize fighter defeats a white prize fighter, a great howl is set up about race riots, race domination and the like. If the perpetuity of this government is now threatened by one Negro prize fighter the the predictions of the statesmen of the old world that our form of government would not stand the test of time has virtually come true.—Nashville Globe. The black Samson slithered and knocked out the white Goliah at Reno, July 4th. The unexpected happen. The white Philistines throughout the country bet on their Goliah and when he was done up they got sore in the head as they were in the pocket and began to maltreat black people. He is a poor sport who howis like a dog when he whipped and tried to take revenge of those of him who whipped him and get his money. There may be no more legalized prize fighting in this country. In that case the championship of physical prowess will remain with the black Samson and his people. Very good. The Philadelphia Tribune. The Jeffries and Johnson fight is over. Johnson is champion of the world. It is over and all right thinking people will be glad if another one will nor be permitted to come off in this country.

WASHINGTON Major Moton, Commandant of Cadets, and Captain Washington are important personages at Hampton Institute and are known all over the country. MAJOR R. R. MOTON HAMPTON CONFERENCE HAS GOOD ATTENDANCE Subjects of Large Interest Discussed by Prominent Race Leaders - Newspaper Men Have Chance to Express Their Views. Hampton, Va., July 14.—The fourteenth annual meeting of the Hampton Negro Conference, which has been in session here since yesterday evening came to a close this afternoon. In every respect it is one of the most successful and important meetings yet held. For the first time in the history of the conference the newspaper men were given an inning; the opening question on the program being given to the discussion of the question: The Contribution of the Colored Newspaper to the Progress of the Race. The question was opened in a well read paper by Mr. Hosea Taylor, of the Washington American, a young man in the newspaper business. Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, associate editor of the Philadelphia Tribune, and dean of the Negro newspaper fraternity, spoke on the question, giving a number of reminiscences of the anti-bellum days. Dr. William R. Ward spoke on the necessity and value of a medical examination and selection of insurance risks. In discussing the question, Mr. W. T. Burrell, of the True Reformers' organization, created considerable amusement by making the statement that in a number of families, some member of the family gets regularly on the sick list. "One young girl, making arrangements for a social entertainment, was told by another young girl that her sister could not attend because it was her week to be sick." The afternoon was taken up by Round Table Work by different organizations, prominent among which were "Women's Work," conducted by Mrs. Harris Barrett; "Insurance," conducted by Mr. W. S. Dodd. and "Agriculture," by Mr. C. K. Graham. The evening session was devoted to reports on the "Work of the Anti-Tuberculosis League," by Drs. W. E. Atkius, G. J. Bowens, W. A. Drake and R. J. Matthews. A portion of this session was taken up by the newspaper people, who had protested at the short time allowed them at the morning session. Rev. George F. Bragg, of the Church Advocate, and Mr. J. H. Murphy, of the Afro-American Ledger, of Baltimore, Md., made a strong protest that the Negro newspaper is given its proper place in the economy of the uplift of the Negro race. Mr. Bragg contended that no set of men had worked harder and more unselfishly for the advancement of the race than the Negro editors of Negro newspapers. Mr. Murphy said that the cause of so many failures in newspaper life was that men who started them were not prepared for the work, but the same ones had made success as ministers, doctors and lawyers. This morning was devoted to the topic: "Agricultural Education." Profs. W. J. Spellman and J. S. Thomas, in charge of the government experimental station at Norfolk. This station is supported by the State of Virginia and the Agricultural Department at Washington. Prof. Pierce wanted to know whether colored people would receive the same attention as white farmers. Prof. Thomas explained that as the station was under the direction of the government of the State and United State, and neither knew anything about color. The afternoon was taken up with Round Tables on "Health" CAPT. A. WASHINGTON and "Newspaper, Work." The question of a Cooperative Movement in Education in Virginia, concluded the evening session. Among the visitors from Baltimore were Prof. and Mrs. Mason A. Hawkins, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. McCard, W. Ashbie Hawkins, H. M. Burkett, Rev. G. F. Bragg, Jr. Prof. Thomas W. Turner and wife, and J. H. Murphy. From Richmond, W. T. Burrell, cashier of the True Reformer's Bank, Mrs. Maggie Walker, president of St. Luke's Bank. Mr. Thomas Fortune of the Philadelphia Tribune. Major R. R. Moton, Commander of Cadets and Capt. A. Washington, are ubiquitous. Here there and everywhere looking after the comfort of the many guests of the Institution, white and black. It would be hard to understand how Hampton Institute would be Hampton Institute without the presence of these two men who are contributing so much, not only to the great work that Hampton is doing but for the general uplift of the race. They are truly two of nature's noblemen. Colored Delegates Were Able And Influential Men. Continued from page 1 the convention hall and let you see in there. I was in the afternoon meeting when I left in my last letter; and now I am at the evening session, where I am to hear some good speeches, and listen to some good music. Well, upon reaching the hall the first man to take hold of my hand was Dr. L. G. Jordan. He wanted to have some talk with me when the meeting was over and asked me to remain. Then in a few minutes I had the pleasure of looking into the face of Kev. W. W. Brown. He is the only one of the men who brought along his wife, and I was delighted to look into their faces. Perhaps you are acquainted with Rev. W. W. Brown. He is pastor of a large Baptist church in Pittsburgh, Pa., and his church thinking so much of him told him to take the trip to Europe and carry with him his wife. He obeyed without any question. Well they had a nice sail and you see them side by side in Europe. I am sure that it was pleasing to both of them to be so far from home together and then in the company of each other. Dr. Brown was one of the official delegates, and had a nice time. Then in looking over the hall I saw enter an old friend of mine Rev. W. G. Parks, D. D., of Philadelphia, Pa., and who is without a doubt one of the greatest preachers of the age. He looked at me and while he was tar from home he did not fail to recognize me, and shook my lily black hand. Dr. Parks has made many friends, and he was very much sought in this part of the world. He took his seat in that big convention, and it was nice to see so many of our people scattered throughout. They were not all in a bunch, but occupied seats in various parts of that great big hall. I believe that my people have made up their minds that they are going to be felt, and will be known. I am glad that we had a man like Dr. Parks who is fully able to take care of the race at any place, and then he is a man of ability. You see thus far, I have mentioned Drs. Jordan, Brown and Parks, but I am going to find you some more of them before I am through with these letters, because there are about 38 of our men over here, and they are doing something for the race. They are holding up America. Now just a word about the convention. The whole people joined in the singing. I had a book and I wish you could have heard me singing "base." I heard myself, and the only fault I could find with it that it was without tune. Well it is nice to be able to sit "base" even if there is no tune to it. I was singing to the tune of something I know not what, but I was keeping time. Well, after then I heard some fine speeches. I heard some English oratory, and I am here to tell you that them Englishmen did do some talking. For instance there was the Archbishop of Canterbury or something like that. Now that man, stood perfectly still, without a gesture, or anything like that, and all you could see going were his lips. He stood like a statute, but I say he just lifted you up, and made you feel like you were out of this world, like you were listening to an angel or something mysterious. I did not mention Lord Balfour, who presided, and who made you feel like you were in another world. He delivered a strong speech, and those who heard him were fortunate I think. I am glad that I was there. Then I could not listen for looking at that little black American writer. He attracted much attention and took care of us all. After the meeting was over I met Reys. L. G. Jordan, W. W. Brown, A. S. Jackson, of Texas, G. W. Parks, Bishop A. Walters, and several others. We went over to my room in Royal hotel, and Dr. J. P. Robinson at this point joined us also. We had a conference on the things concerning Africa, and asked that something be stricken from the Commissioners' report. You see Dr. Jordan is always on the alert for things that touches the race and he did not fail to look out for us this time. I am proud that he was one of the men to look after us. Well, I have finished a day, after spending a late hour in the room of Bishop Walters, whose hotel was on George street. He had nice quarters. He was accompanied by his wife and son, and Mrs. Roberts, the wife of Dr. Roberts was also in the meeting and she was visiting Scotland. Bishop Walters was the only representative of the A. M. E. Zion Church present, and he was given a seat and entertainment. Some one said a long time ago, that Zion Church was not entitled to a representative, because it did not have enough Foreign Mission work. The church did not enter into a discussion at all, but when the convention met Bishop Walters was there, and he was given credentials with the other representatives, and that's all there was to it. Perhaps it would be well for me to bring this letter to a close, but I will have a few more things to say to you in another letter which is to follow, and then I am getting ready to leave Edinburgh.

"Is that she should be good-looking. One day a would-be model called to me when I was not at home. Consequently she told my wife about it. "I was calling on some friends the other day," she said, and they saw me working my thumbs. One of them exclaimed, "Oh, what are you doing? You are doing such beautiful things with your thumbs. You must go to an artist and let him see your thumbs." And I came to see Mr. Flagg, she concluded. "Later I had an opportunity to see her thumbs in action." "What was it like?" he was asked.

Howard, who was backed by what is said to be the Astbury or anti-administration interests. Naylor is regarded as friendly to the interests of Grand Master W. L. Houston and the present members of the subcommittee of management. The support of the District of Columbia delegation was pledged to the following persons: For grand master, Edward A. Morris of Chicago; deputy grand master, Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia; grand secretary, James F. Needham (thembent) of Philadelphia, and editor and manager of the Odd Fellows' Journal, Henry P. Slaughter, District of Columbia. Resolutions were passed as follows: Whereas, By four years of untiring zeal and unwavering devotion to the advancement of the best interests of the order Grand Master William L. Houston has placed the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of America in a position where it stands superior to any Negro organization in the world; and Whereas, by personal visits to lodges and grand lodges throughout the length and breadth of this broad land of ours his kindly interest, his sympathetic encouragement and his tactful handling of delicate situations and of the many vexatious problems which naturally arise in an organization of this magnitude have won for him not only the plaudits of the people, but an added impetus has been given to the already phenomenal growth of our order, so that today the fraternity goes forward by leaps and bounds, surpassing in its onward march all other kindred Negro organizations; therefore be it PETER H. Resolved. That the District of Columbia delegation the M. and M. underscores every official act of Grand Master Will. H. P. SLANGHTER, very official act of William L.

That we indorse for deputy grand master that hearty Odd Fellow, that prince of good fellows, that statesman, orator and lawyer, the pride of Georgia, now record of deeds for the District of Columbia, the Hon Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia, be in further Resolved. That we impose for further grand master who has given the best years of his life to the unbuilding of this order for grand secretary; be it further Resolved, That we indorse Henry P. Slaughter, that active, aggressive, bustling, bustling, wideawake Odd Fellow, student, lawyer, newspaper man and practical printer, a man perfectly at home at the case or in the front office, a man perfectly at home at the case or in the front office, a man proud to honor, a man proud to honor, for honor and manager of the Odd Fellows' Journal. In concluding his speech in congress on "Go South, Young Men and Immigrants," recently, Representative Ransdell of Louisiana had this to say in answer to a query about the race question: "The Caucasian and the Negro can and do dwell together, each working out its own destiny in friendly co-operation and competition. The Negro question is settling itself, and under the guidance of a wise Provider" the Negroes are destined to do the part in kindly friendship with their white brethren." Negro's Trust to Property Valuer There is encouragement for the race in the recent decision of the supreme court of the state of Washington in which it holds that title to property conveyed to a Negro for consideration in a settlement restricted to whites is a good title. The contention arose in the case of a Negro who purchased property through an agency or some individual other than himself. It was therefore sought to have him reinquish possession of his property, but the court raled in his favour. RUFFIANS IN EOTH RACES. Brute Element Puts Strain on Law and Its Enforcers. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, speaking editorially of the effect which Jack Johnson's victory over Jim Jeffries had upon the brute element in both races, says: "The effect of the Negro's victory on the ruffians or animals of his race and on the animals and ruffians of the white race has been what was expected. The black ruffians and animals have shown their brutal qualities. The white animals and ruffians have shown theirs. The two sets of the same kind have shown their similar qualities. A strain has been put on law and on the police as the enforcers of law. "Had the result been reversed there would still have been a strain, but it would have been less, and law and civilization would not have been so severely wrenched." CAPABLE PRACTITIONER. Brief Sketch of Dr. Alexander A. Kellogg of New York. Because of his sincere devotion to the interest of the race, aside from his profession, we present to our readers this brief sketch of Dr. Alexander A. Kellogg. He is a native of Wilmington, N.C. He received his early education in the public school of his home and afterward prepared for Lincoln 10 ALEXANDER A KELLOGG, M. D. university, Pennsylvania, from which institution he was graduated in 1892. Having decided to make the practice of medicine his profession in life, he entered the New York College of Pharmacy, New York, where, after a successful course of study in the pharmaceutical department, he graduated in 1895. After two years' study of medicine in New York university Dr. Kellogg entered the medical school of Howard university, Washington, from which he graduated in the class of 1901. He returned to New York and began the practice of his profession. He has been very successful in his work and has the reputation of being one of the most skillful and painstaking surgeons in New York. Dr. Kellogg is a close student of his profession and devotes much of his time when not in the sickroom or attending to office patients to advance study. For the success which has come to him by diligent application to his profession Lincoln university bestowed upon him the degree of master of arts. As a member of the New York County Medical society he has exerted an influence for good which has been largely felt in the community. He is also a member of several secret and benevolent organizations, among which are the Odd Fellows. Elks, Knights of Pythias, Southern Beneficial league. Chel club and the Columbus Beneficial league. REV. G. E. BEVENS' OPINION OF JOHNSON'S VICTORY. Jeffries Blamed For Dragging Race Issue into the Contest. That Johnson's decisive victory over Jeffries will have a tendency to increase the spirit of independence in the Negro race is the opinion expressed by the Rev. George E. Bevens, pastor of Mount Olive African Methodist church of Philadelphia. "I think that the independence which Johnson's victory will create among the men of my race." Mr. Bevens declared, "will be felt in a sphere where it will be least looked for. I believe that it will have a tendency to make the colored man politically more independent. It may seem strange to make the assertion, but I believe that this will be one of the effects, perhaps the principal one. "Had it not been that Jeffries, in a spirit of race pride, attempted to take back from Johnson a title that he had relinquished and could not in reason hope to regain the question of the respective merits of the white and black races would not have come up. "But, having come up and having been, for the time being at least, decided in favor of the Negro man, it cannot be expected that the Negro race will do other than exult over the victory won by their acclaimed representative." REAL VICTOR Acclaimed Master of Pugilistic World---Title Fairly Won. VIOLENCE FOLLOWS TRIUMPH. Worldwide Comment Upon the Great Fight Having Its Good and Bad Effects Upon the Body Politic—Race Prejudice Rekindled—Acts of Violence. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The great battle for the heavyweight championship of the world has been fought upon the field of honor between Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries. Johnson is the victor and has been acclaimed the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. The story of the fight by rounds has been told over and over again. The effect of Johnson's victory upon the country at large has been phenomenal, disastrous and farreaching. It has rekindled race prejudice among people and in sections where it barely existed and where it lay dormant. It is to be regretted that such should be the situation, but such it is. It is a most unfortunate mistake on the part of those of either race to harbor race prejudice of such a rank nature against those who were not responsible for the occasion which caused it to break loose upon the heads of so many innocent people. To be perfectly candid, we are in duty bound to place the blame for this great tidal wave of bad feeling against the Negro, at the door of those who were dissatisfied with the results and gave vent to their feelings by mercilessly attacking innocent persons. The guilty of whatever race concerned in this recent disgraceful uprising should learn a lifetime lesson—that is, to mind their own business. Freedom of speech and action may be freely indulged in by all to the point where another's rights begin—so far, no further. Priezfighting is not a race issue. It is brutal enough when confined to its class and kind, and it should not be brought into the everyday affairs of the body politic. Punishment for crime is the law's prerogative. Innocent persons not a party to crime or inhuman acts not be interfered with, and A Photo by American Press Association. JACK JOHNSON. the sooner the law exercises itself upon this point the better it will be for all the people. Prizefighting and all things else which breed racial strife and ill will should be done away with if a person cannot enter into competition in the various walks of life and win out upon his merit without being scorned by his competitor or those of his race or kind. The rough element of both Negroes and whites has brought disgrace upon themselves and the community by their thoughtless acts of violence. As to the legal suppression of the moving pictures showing the fighters in action, it is absurd and looks more like child's play than the work of grownups in a civilized country like this, the boasted land of the free and home of the brave. The whole sum and substance of the matter reduced to its lowest terms is this: There is a class of persons to be found in almost every community which seems to have lost all respect for the law. The reason for such misguided judgment may be traceable to the fact that the law winks at crime and disorder when it ought to apply its legal authority. However, we are thankful that greater civil war did not follow Jack Johnson's victory. His future is bright, and the sporting fraternity of his own race feels sure that he fought a square battle and won and is justly entitled to all the honors which the world may bestow upon him.

No creature is more tidy than an ant, who cannot tolerate the presence of dirt on her body. These little creatures actually use a number of real toilet articles in keeping themselves clean. A well-known authority says their toilet articles consist of coarse and fine toothed combs, hair brushes, sponges and even washes and soap. Their saliva is their liquid soap, and their soft tongues are their sponges. Their combs, however, are the genuine article and differ from ours mainly in that they are fastened to their legs. The ants have no set time for their toilet operations, but stop and clean up whenever they get soiled.—St. Nicholas.

After fifteen months’ absence, exactly as scheduled, Colonel Theodore ‘Roosevelt disembarked from the Kalserin Auguste Victoria, Saturday morn- Ing, June 18, at-11 a.m. To the keen disappointment of a large group of ‘newspaper correspondents, Mr. Roosevelt absolutely refused, as heretofore, tto be interviewed or to talk on political subjects, but his rapid fire of ques- Hons showed the same virile interest in public affairs as before. If the welcome tendered by the vast throng may be considered a ‘eriterion upon which to base a “return from Elba,” surely there was no dis- ‘ordant note in the immense reception-parade, nor in tbe wildly clamorous erowd which cheered at every glimpse and hung on bis very word. ‘The incidents of the day in New York were many, but perhaps none bet- iter Mustrated the nervous energy and vitality of the man, the near-mania to ‘be up-and-doing, which he hus brought back to us, than the discarding of jhorses and carriages for the swifter and more reliable automobiles. Tho ‘moment the Roosevelt family and Immediate party landed, they were ywhisked away ia White Steamers to the home of Mr. Douglas Robinson at ‘433 Fifth avenue. little later, when the procession reached the corner of 4pitty-pinth street and Fifth avenue, Colonel Roosevelt again showed bis preference for the motor car in general and the White cars In particular, ‘ben he, Cornelius Vanderbilt and Collector Loeb transferred trom their fearrlage to White Steamers, which were in waiting for them.» ‘After luncheon at Mr. Robinson's house, the entire party, including ‘@olonel Roosevelt, again entered the White cars and were driven to Long ‘Jsland City, where they were to take a special train to the ex-President’s hhome ut Oyster Bay. ‘Tae supremucy of the White cars with the Roosevelt party was again ‘gemonstrated on Sunday, when the party was driven to church in the White Bteamers, and a group of some forty prominent Rough Riders were taken 4n a White Gasoline ruck to a clambake at the Travers Island clubhouse of the New York Athletic Club. Jt is announced in Montreal by the Allan Line that tenders have been invited for two new vessels of the Lusitania typs, which will re- duce the time between Liverpool and iQuebec by 24 hours, making the trip in’ five to five and one-half days. ‘The ships will have 20,900 tons or more capacity, will cost $3,000,000 each and are expected to be in op- eration in two years.

Responsibilities Of Parents. ‘The old-fashioned mother and the jold-fashioned father have become al- most obsolete in the large cities. Modern mothers and fathers have ceased to take their responsibility seriously. During the early days of the child's Iife the task of looking after manners and education is large- ly shifted to the schools. The edn- cation of children, consequently, has become more automatic, and, nat- urally, lacks the individual touch of refinement and breeding that can be obtained only in the home. Few schools teach kindliness, gen- tleness, courtesy, or unselfishness. Such qualities can be thorougihy: in- eulcated only in the home. It is by the father making a chum of his boy and the mother a friend of her girl that the miracle of a gracious character can de wrought, If fath- ers would make confidants of their gons, and mothers confidants of their daughters, teaching them to share adversity or prosperity like partnors. there would be less dissatisfaction and less extravagance among the growing generation, By unselfishi- ness they would teach unselfishness: oy Kindliness, they would teach kind- iets: by courtesy. they would teach lurtesy. And the world would be the" gainer.—Washington Post.

Many men do not find their heres of greatest usefuiness until middle age, while others never find them, Education ought to help one to find his true sphere. The great difficulty with so many young people is they show an adaptability to too many things; they become what their fellows or instrus- tors call versatile, The versatile man sometimes is the worst handicapped man. He can do a dozen things fair- ly well and he spends his time be- tween them, scattering his fire, in- stead of concentrating on one object, a single purpose and learning to do that in the aggregate better than he could do each of the eleven. The man who, with @ bent for music, can play ‘half a dozen instruments, is not nearly likely to play as well as the man who becomes expert in the use of that one. The versatile man is seldom more than an amateur, being kept out of the professional class simply because he has never learned to concentrate hig full pow- ers on the one thing. Young men and women must look out for these pitfalls. ‘The only talent that ever accomplishes anything worth while is that trained along a certain, definite, fixed line—Omaha Bee.

REV. TAYLOR'S FINE RECORD. Founder of Mount Sinai Baptist Church, Baltimore, GREAT ORGANIZER AND LEADER | Interesting Account of How a Young Licentiate Minister Built Up a Flour- ishing Cor.gregation, Overcame Dit- ficulties and Purchased Site For New | Church Edifice. | _Among the many capuble and sue cessful young Baptist pastors of Bal: | timore, the Rev, John H. Taylor, pas- tor of Mount Sinal Baptist chureb, occupies a conspicuous place. He is native of Tarboro, N. C., and received | the rudiments of his garly education In | the public schools of his home town. He has been a resident of Baltimore some fifteen years or more. His con- nection with the Isracl Baptist ebureh, | Baltiinore, as a inenber for g number of years, was of the must pleusant and | helpful nature. Being convinced of his call to the gospel ministry, Rey. Mr. | ‘Taylor made application to bls churcb for license to preach, Phe chureh, being satisfied with the | young man’s sincerity and upright life, granted his request. This was ten years ago. Rev. Mr. Taylor, desiring ‘thoroughly to equip himself for bis ‘life's work, entered Clayton Willinms university, Baltimore, where after ‘seven years of hard study be finished the prescribed course, and in 190$ his alma mater conferred upot: him the de- gree of bachelor of diviuity. He is the founder of Mount Sinai Baptist church, which was organized five sears ago, Its beginning was very smail, and there were wany difficulties in the way of its early growth. But by pers'stence and hard labor the dif culties were removed, and the little congregation toak on new life. Mneh credit is given to those who staod by the pastor while the work wis weak and also to those ee joined afterward and who have “helped to make Mount Sinal Baptist church the influential and helpful agency that it is todas. The membership is now ever 260, and boil pastor and congrega- tion ave working harmoniously to- gether for the advancement of the ebureh. Vhrough the earnest efforts of the Rev.

The sensation for a time, at least, may possibly be one of weasure, how- ever profitless, but it is a pleasure that is all too dangerous to be in- duiged in indiscretly. To be sure, there is something alluring, almost anvealing, in the mere thought of setting our craft adrift, with’ sails Turled and engines silenced, depend- ing merely upon some stray breeze or chance current to bear us onward.

Mr. Fortune is again back into the newspaper game after an absence of nearly two years. He is now the leading editorial writer on the Philadelphia Tribune, and is also a special contributor to the New York Age. He was a member of the party that accompanied Dr. Booker T. Washington on his recent trip thru Delaware, and his journalistic services were highly commended by Dr. Washington in his speech at the Querna House at Wilmington, Del. Mr. Fortune characterized the administration as being innimical to the Negro, and said that every Ohian who had been elected President had proved Limself unfriendly to the Negro. "And I knew them all from Hayes down," added the Hon. T. Thomas, the wielder of a strenuous pen. STREET PREACHING ENDORSED: Street preaching was strongly urged by Rev. C.

Zion Ministerial Union of Washington, was entertained at the Pennsylvania Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church, Wednesday. After meeting in the morning the ministers were entertained at dinner by Rev. J.

The Baptist Ministers' Meetings of Washington and this city held a joint session at the Union Baptist church. The feature of the day was a paper on "A Method of Worship for Non-Liturgical Churches" by Rev. J. Milton Waldron. At the close of the meeting the visitors were entertained at dinner. Among those present from Washington were: Revs. W. J. Howard, W. D. Jarvis, S. Geriah Lampkins, J. I. Loving. Alexander Wilbaucks, J. M. Waldron, J. Anderson Taylor, and Rev. R. B. Ward, the latter of Iron sides, Md. REV. DR. CORROTHERS AND PRESS IDENT TAFT'S NEGRO POLICY. Rev. Dr. S. L. Corrothers, pastor of the Galbraith A. M. B. Zion Church, Washington, was in the city Wednesday, and incidentally paid his respects to the anti-Negro policy of the national administration. "President Taft's Negro policy," he said, "is doing us untold harm, and we should resent it. If the colored voters of this country would act as a unit they could force the pendulum to swing back in their favor; in fact, their determined opposition could prevent Taft's renomination two years hence. "Every Negro, even Booker T. Washington, seems to have lost influence with this administration. Despite Mr. Washington's efforts he did not land his friend Napier in Veronin's position and Lyon was not retained in Liberia." "How about a colored man being made. Collector of Port at Georgetown," was asked. "In this instance," replied Dr. Corrothers. "President Taft may appoint a colored man, because I believe he is beginning to realize that this intense opposition from white and colored must be dissapated. You know Mr. Taft is awfully afraid of colored folks when Southern Democrats protest, but he sometimes will buck up against the prejudices of a Northern Republican." Dr. Corrothers and others will speak at a mass meeting against Taft's Southern policy at the True Reformers Hall, Washington, Tuesday night. LOCAL ELKS PREPARING FOR SESSION OF GRAND LODGE. The members of the Monumental Lodge of Elks are preparing to take Washington by storm at the session of the Grand Lodge of Elks, which meets in the National Capital, on August 26, 27, 28, 29. From present indications this city will have the largest delegation, at the great loveeast, at which two factions of the Order will bury their differences and again become a united family. The local contingeat will go in the contest to win the prize for the best dressed delegation, which will take place on the opening day. The Baltimore "Hello Bills" will be dressed in white suits with black stripes; white shoes and straw hats with purple bands. The local lodge has several times before won the parade prize and are hopeful of again turning the trick. They will be accompanied by the Metropolitan Band. Mr. William Lewis, one of the lending spirits in the lodge has been urged to enter the race for Grand Exalted Ruler, but he is extremely reluctant to declare himself, and says that at present, unity of the two factions is more desirable than the triumph of personal ambition. The local contingent and their friends will leave in special coaches over the Washington, Baltimore & Annapolis Railway on the morning of the opening day. Past Exalted Rulers Nelson Price and G. W. F. McMechen will be the representatives of Monumental Lodge. MARRIED. GROOMS-JACKSON. A pretty marriage was solemnized on last Tuesday evening at 1509 E.
