THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER. VOL. XIX NO. 22 NEGRO FARMER SHOULD HAVE MORE TRAINING DR. WASHINGTON SAYS BUT LITTLE MONEY IS SPENT ON EDUCATION OF THE COLORED FARMER The Colored Southern Farmer Cannot Compete With Whites Until they get the Same Training—More than Two Thousand In Attendance At The Twentieth Session os the Tuskegee Negro Conference — Whites Should Pursue A Liberal Policy With Negro Farmers. (Republic to The African American League) Tuskegee, Ala., San. 19—The Twentieth annual Tuskegee Negro Conference came to a close here today, being pronounced by old-timers the best in the history of the institution. More than two thousand visitors attended the exercises, for the most part farmers from this and other sections of Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, North and South Carolina. Besides the large number of Negro farmers attending, the conference, there were present also a large number of prominent citizens from all over the country, among whom were: Dr. S. C. Courtney and Gilbert C. Harris, of Boston; Dr. C. S. Mes-rive, Shaw University; Wm. A. Avery and W. T. B. Williams, Hampton, Va.; William H. Steward, editor of The American Baptist, Louisville, Ky.; Wm. H. Holtzclaw, principal, and W. H. Faulkner, d vision of carpentry. Uba institute, Mississippi; Miss Rebecca Davis, Spellman Seminary, Athaura; Rev. Amble Field, Calburn Colored School, Calhun al. Ala.; John Hope, Athaura Baptist College; Dr. E. W. Lee, president Morris Bown College; Dr. George Rice Hovey, Virginia Union Seminary; Richmond; Walter B. Buchanan, president A. & M. College. Normal, Ala.; Dr. C. H. Maxson president Bishop College, Marshall. Tex.; Dr. R. T. Pollard, president Selma University, Alabama; Dr. M. M. Ponton, president Campbell College. Jackson, Mus.; Arch Deacon James Russell, St. Paul Normal and Industrial School, Lawrenceville, Va., and others. Many of the farmers present gave their experiences and related in r tail the struggles they had in trying to gain a competence and to become better and more valuable farmers, and addresses were also made by a number of white farmers who discussed the relation between the landlord and the tenant with a frankness seldom heard. The principal address of the occasion was the opening address by Dr. Joocker T. Washington, who gave strong and sensible advice with reference to the mortgage and lien system, declaring that the time had now come when a Negro farmer ought to be able to make enough in one year to cover his expenses while trying to make a crop the next. He plened with Southern whites to recognize the importance of giving Negro farmers better educational facilities to the whole South might profit thereby. Dr. Washington said in part: "The time has now come when the Negro farmer should be so thrifty, so industrious, so full handed that he can live for a year or longer without having to go to somebody to supply him with food, clothing, animals and implements to be used while he is making his year's crop. "There are some people in the South who do not realize that a system of dealing with the Negro which would succeed in slavery, will not succeed in a state of freedom. In most our Southern States there is a dollar value each year in arricultor colleges, district agricultural schools, farmers' institutes, lecturers and farming demonstration agents, but little money is spent for the training of Negro farmers in the same direction. Some people seem to have the idea that the white farmer needs all the training he can get, but that the Negro farmer is born into the world with so much natural intelligence that he can succeed in farming without having, any training whatever, without having a dollar spent for his education. "The time has come when, in my opinion, the white citiz-ans of the South should realize that a very liberal policy should be pursued in connection with the education of a Negro as a farmer. It is too much to expect that the Negro farmer will get the best results and succeed without having any money spent on him to make him a successful farmer, while thousands of dollars are being spent every year throughout the South in the education of the white farmers. It is to the best interests of all concerned, that those entrusted with the government of the Southern States should try to secure liberal allowances for the education of the Negro farmers." CAPITOL BARBER PASSES AWAY Alexander B. Thomas Had Charge of Representa- tives' Barber Shop Many Years. Washington, Jan. 24—Alexaud Baker Thomas, who died last Sunday at his home, 928 N. street northwest, was for more than forty years in charge of what is known as the "republican side" barber shop of the House of Representatives. He was appointed to the position by Speaker Colfax and was so universally esteemed for his probity and courtesy that members of the House, irrespective of politics and party affiliations, found their way daily into the shop.

NINE BOOKER T'S AT ONE MEETING When the Real Booker Shows Up He Has a Hard Time Getting In (Suecual to the Afro-American Ledger.) (Special to the TACB Journal) Chicago, Jan. 24th—During a recent visit to this city in which it is recorded that he made eight speeches in fourteen hours, it is said that a number of stalwart political officers are the beating riff of about two thousand white and colored persons who were trying to gain admission to Orchestra Hall, which had been crowded about two hours before the time for Dr. Washington to speak. When Dr. Washington appeared at the outer edge of the crowd, one of the officers was inform d of his presence and requested to open the way so that Booker T. Washington might pass through to the door, whereupon the officer replied: "Not on your life. We have opened up the way for eight Booker T. Washingtonts already." To be was necessary for President Browne to the Sunday Club to come out and identify the "ninth" Booker T. before admission was gained by the prominent speaker. BISPOP SALTER ILL Charleston, S. C., Jan. 26.—Bishop M. B. Salter, of the A. M. E. church, is quite ill at his home here. BISHOP A. GRANT THE NOTED PRELATE IS LAID TO REST A LARGE NUMBER OF DISTINGUISHED BISHOPS TAKE PART IN THE OBSEQUIES. The Funeral Services Were Conducted By Bishop H. Blanton Parks — The Sermon Was Preached By Bishop Wesley J. Gaines Who Was Elected And Ordained At The Same Time—Telegrams Of Condolence Were Received From President Taft Kansas City, Kan., Jan. 26.—The funeral of Bishop Abraham Grant, who died here Sunday took place from Allen Methodist Episcopal Church, today. The funeral services which were largely attended were conducted by Bishop H. Blanton Parks, assisted by a number of distinguished prelates from all sections of the country, the several local denominations also being largely represented. The sermon was preached by Bishop Wesley J. Gaines of Atlanta, who was elected and ordained at the same time Bishop Grant was. Addresses were delivered by Bishop B. F. Lee, of Ohio, Governor Stubba, of Kansas, Mr. J. Greuber, president of the Commercial National Bank, Dr. Booker T. Washington and others. A letter of condolence was received from President Taft. A mounted escort of police accompanied the remains to the train, en route for San Antonio, Texas, where the interment will take place. Bishop Grant died from fatty degeneration of the heart, and for the past few days was kept alive by the administration of opiates. He survived his wife, Mrs. Lula Armstrong Grant but seven days, she having died on the Sunday previous. The Bishop had been in ill health for sometime and his death was not unexpected. Bishop Abraham Grant, the 18th Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, was born in an ox cart, near Lake City, Florida, Aug. 2, 1848. He overcame the lack of educational opportunities and was regarded as one of the best informed men in his church. He was converted and joined church in Jacksonville, Fla., in 1888, and three years later was admitted on trial into the Georgia Conference. He was ordained an elder in 1873 and he steadily rose in influence in the councils of his church until at the General Conference which met in Indianapolis, May 1888, in company with Bishops W. J. Gaines, B. W. Arnett and B. T. Tanner, he was elected to the highest office in his church. At the time of his elevation he was serving as presiding elder of the Central Texas Conference, making his home in San Antonio, Tex. He has served as president of Paul Quinn College, at Waco, Tex, and at the board of trustees of Western College, at Quindaro, Texas. He was a member of joint boards of the Slater and Jeanne's Fund for Bural Schools. He was regarded as a dominant force in his church, and his counsel was eagerly sought by not only his companions on the Bench, but by all classes in his church. He was especially regarded as a friend to the young men in the ministry, and it was largely through his efforts and influence that W. T. Vernon was appointed Register of the United States Treasury. A little over a year ago he celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of his elevation to the oishipric and the thirty-eighth anniversary of his admission to the ministry, at which time ministers from all parts of the country journeyed to his residence to do him honor. He also received a large number of testimonials from his numerous friends. At a meeting of the Slater and Jeanes Fund Board, recently held in the White House, presided over by President Taft, Bishop Grant was absent. THE LATE BISHOP GRANT. but the Board sent a telegram of regret. The telegram was signed by President Taft. A majority of the Bishops of the church were present to take part in the exercises. Hev. John Hurst, financial secretary of the church, of which department Bishop Grant, was the president, had charge of the funeral arrangements. Others of the general officers in attendance were: Dr. B. T. Watson, secretary of the Church Extension Department, Prof. H. F. Healing, editor of the A. M. E. Review, and president of Western University, Prof. R. R. Wright, editor of the Christian Recorder, Rev. Dr. W. W. Heckett, missionary secretary. Teegrams of Sympathy. Among the many telegrams of sympathy received, were messages from Bishop James A. Handy, of Baltimore, Md.; Dr. James H. Dillard, of New Orleans, La.; J. C. Napier, of Nashville, Tenn.; Maj. R. Moten, Hampton, Ya.; Prof. Robert L. Smith, of Paris, Texas and many other prominent members of the A. M. E. Church, including the following from President Taft, or Washington, D. C: Bishop H. B. Parks, Kansas City, Kansas. Your telegram announcing the death of Bishop Grant received. I greatly deplore this and extend to his family and friends and those to whom he preached my heartfelt sympathy. Bishop Grant and he have been for some years associated in the work of promoting education of Negroes in the South, and I came to know his high and sturdy qualities. His death is a real loss to his people. WILLIAM H. TAFT. LINCOLN ARCADE NOW PROJECTED Washington Capitalists Are Arranging to Finance a Hundred Thousand Dollar Project. Bureau of the Afro-American Ledger 1918 11th St. N. W. Washington Washington, Jan. 17—The Lincoln Memorial Building Company organized over a year ago has been reorganized and radical changes have been made in its original plans. Instead of a half-million dollar office down-town, the southwest corner of 10th and U streets, northwest, has been purchased and a "Liucoln Arcade" with a large auditorium for concerts etc., sto es, shops, offices and lodge-room, all to be surmounted by a roof garden of fine appointments. The strucure is to be of buff brick stone and terra cotta, and will rise four stories. Comprehensive plans have been prepared by the project, W. S. Diety Pittman. The company promises to complete the bidding for the semi-enclosed building of emanation in 1913. The promoters of the Arcade are a union to its public capacity, finding a profit of over a per cent, on the investment of over hundred thousand dollars. Mr. John C. Dancy, with a success in both business and politics, is preident of the corporation, and a number of prominent Washingtonians are on the Board of Direcors. WAS NEARER DEATH THAN HE THOUGHT HE WAS THE DOCTOR BRINGS HIM AROUND ALL RIGHT AND HE IS UP AND ON HIS JOURNEY. Will Visit Baltimore In The Early Spring-Receives A Letter From C. First Johnson Which Contains Some Very Good Advice.-Talks In Newport, Ark., And White Folks As Well As Colored Turn Out To Hear What He Has To Say. Little Rock, Ark.—After suffering for several weeks, I feel that I am myself once mope, although I have pains in my side and at times can hardly walk. Col. J. O. Midnight is once more on the tramp. I was neuer death in that wreck than I thought for, but I am thankful to God that I am still on this side of Jordan, and if I had crossed over I could say the same thing. I left Chicago last Friday for this place, and have made several stops. I had a delightful visit and while I could not ride as I use to years ago, as I was afraid the old thing would turn over with me again, and then I would find myself in eternity, the place I am not anxious to go. I have my trunks packed and ready for the kingdom, yet I um not very anxious to go there yet and hope not to have to go for a few more years. I want to here express my sincere thanks to Dr. G. C. Hall for bringing me out and making me like a new man. I have had the pleasure of visiting St. Louis en route to this place and if I can just stay out of bed I am going to do some traveling, and will be in Baltimore in April, so those who desire to have me visit and talk for them will have to send in word now. You may send your letter for me to the Afro-American ledger office, and I will let you know what is going on. I will have to make my plans early hence if you desire to have me visit your church and talk for you you will have to write to me now. Now about St. Louis. I met a few people while there. I did not see Rev. Dr. G. E. Stevens, but will see him when I go back. I shook hands with Rev. J. R. Bennett, after having a fuss with him over the box through which the people say "hello." He had sent me a letter I did not like so well, but then I did not fall out with him. I called at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Donsal and they were delighted to see me. I have had a letter from Dr. C. First Johnson, which contains such good sound sense that I thought I would send it to you. Here it is: "Every day is a fresh beginning. You are, as it were, just beginning your life. You should be living your life's activities with assurance as you do. But when the day with its fresh beginning comes, all yesterday should be yesterday, with which you have nothing to do. You are quite certain that the way you used the opportunities of yesterday has determined for you your today. "If you have made blunders, and in many ways lost time in 1910, how are to profit by dragging such memories over into the new year? You should enter the door of the new year with a clean slate and a clear mind. No matter how poorly you may have done your work in 1911, there must be a new skill made for 1911. "The previous hours lost in 1910 gone, never to return. All of you stillies for 1910 are buried with lost hours forever. But look w and you will find there are better more precious hours, and great fortunes coming your way if than any you missed in 1910. "Be alive then and then come up commence the first moment to ride service that counts. this will you put in harmony with power; and being a cojoined, you will not lose one moment o sip away without leaving with you results. "Seek to turn your face always toward the light and you begin to realize and express good cheer, which, in my question to those who would succeed, "Let us forget the things that are behind us and look forward, with hope to the future, pregnant not only with opportunities, but with such opportunities we can know and understand and use. Thus we will be setting our faces in the right direction. All of our efforts then will be lighted with the spirit of good cheer and assurance. To cheerfully approach every duty will make your lives so sunny that your fellows will rejoice to come in contact with you and help you on your upward march in rendering the service that counts." Dr. Johnson is at the head of the Union Mutual Aid Association, which is a strong company, and then he is a leading man. I have been from Chicago to Newport, Ark., where I spent a night, and I tell you the people did rush out there to hear me talk. Even the white citizens turned out to hear what I had to say and how I was going to say it. Well I had my say and then left for this place, and the people had many good things to say to me and delivered to me some cash for which I thank them. Now reaching Little Rock. I found my way on to the Arkansas Baptist college, and Prof. and Mrs. Booker were gilee to see me. I decided leaving Newport. I visited the graded school with Prof. E. J. Wheeler as principal, is doing a good work. He is just a good teacher of a great man. Then his wife is active in a ligious work of the State. She is treasurer of the convention of colored women in this part of the world and it would do your very soul good to meet her. Rev. L. H. Jackson is pastor of the Baptist church here. I am sure you will remember him. He is a great man and is doing a great work for his people. Years ago he used to go around Baltimore and Washington, and got his education at Wayland Seminary, Washington, D. C., with Dr. W. Bishop Johnson and others. He has been using to advantage. Having a report brought me right to Little Hoos and here I was met by Robert Booker, the son of President Booker. Robert is destined to make a great man in his day. He is made of the right kind of cloth. His father is a great man, and I am sure he will go beyond his father, because of the age and the superior advantages. Now enough for that this time. I weep this week with the world over, the death of Mrs. Grant, the wife of Bishop A. Grant, of Kansas City. Kansas. She died last week. May God help all of you I cannot write more at this time, because I am too full. SALISBURY NEGROES BUYING PROPERTY Colored Citizens Showing Thrift. In The Purchase of Homes On the Main Thoroughfares. (Special to Afro-American.) Salisbury, Md., Jan. 24—Thrift and eco-ney are being demonstrated by the colored people in this community by the my handsome dwellings that are being purchased by them on the principal streets. Mr. Frank B. Anderson owns a handsome dwelling on North Division street, the most popular street in town. Mr. Anderson is a successful truck farmer. Messrs. Andrew Lee, Thomas Wilson, Levin Rider and Leon urd Parsons are among those who own residences that are a credit to the race. Mr. Jacob Jones recently opened a grocery store on Water street and is doing a successful business. His son also had ready sale for the Afro-American Ledger. The officials and auxiliaries of John Wesley M. E. Church, are making arrangements for the annual banquet to be given in February for the pu pose of evening up the financial budget for the year. PRESENTED A WATCH special to the AFBO-AMERICAN LEDGER Fairfield, Md., Jan. 26.—The Educational School Fund Society has raised a sum of money, with which to continue the public school here after the term of four months is over. At the last meeting of the club, its present, Mr. Walter W. Brown, was presented a watch for his efforts in behalf of maintaining a school here. The Colored Methodist Episcopal Church is planning to build on its recently acquired lot. Mrs. Marvel Jeffres, formerly of Charlotte, N. '4', is building a fine shingle cottage here. Mrs. Walter W. Brown is recovering from a brief illness. The Modest Model. The late Julia Ward Howe, though a woman of very good appearance, was extremely modest. "She once posed for me," said a Boston painter the other day. "But she hesitated a long time before consenting. To urge her on I said: "Don't be afraid. I'll do you justice, madam." "Ah, she answered, 'it isn't justice I ask for at your hands; it's marcy.'" Not Just Off the Shelf. Little Marget has the childist trait of curiosity, especially in regard to the age of her elders. "How old do you think I am, dear?" counter-questioned the spinster aunt to whom the child had put the impairment query. The little girl considered earnestly before replying: "Well, I don't know, Auntie Alice, but you don't look new!" INSIDE HISTORY. Some Self-Explanatory Letters. Battle Creek, Mich., Jan. 7, '11 Dr. E. H. Pratt, Suite 1202, 100 State St., "Owing to some disagreement with magazine several years ago they have become quite vituperative, and of late have publicly charged me with falsehoods in my statements that we have genuine testimonial letters. "It has been our rule to refrain from publishing the names either of laymen or physicians who have written to us in a complimentary way, and we have declined to accede to the demand of attorneys that we turn these letters over to them. "I am asking a few men whom I deem to be friends to permit me to reproduce some of their letters over their signatures in order to refute the falsehoods." "We have hundreds of letters from physicians, but I esteem the one that you wrote to me in 1906 among the very best, particularly in view of the fact that it recognizes the work I have been trying to do partly through the little book, 'The Road to Wellville.' " I do not sell or attempt to sell the higher thought which is more important than the kind of food, but I have taken considerable palms to extend to humanity such facts as may have come to me on this subject. "In order that your mind may be refreshed I am herewith enclosing a copy of your good letter, also a copy of the little book, and if you will give me the privilege of printing this over your signature I will accompany the printing with an explanation as to why you permitted its use in publication in order to refute falsehoods, and under that method of treatment I feel, so far as I know, there would be no breach of the code of ethics. "I trust this winter weather is finding you well, contented and enjoying the fruits that are yours by right. "With all best wishes, I am." Dr. Pratt, who is one of the most prominent and skillful surgeons in America, very kindly granted our request in the cause of truth and justice. Chicago, Aug. 31, 1906. Mr. C. W. Post. Battle Creek, Mich. My Dear Sir: "I write to express my personal appreciation of one of your business methods, that of accompanying each package of your Grape-Nuts production with that little booklet "The Road to Wellville," A more appropriate, clear headed and effective presentation of health-giving auto-suggestions could scarcely be penned. "Grape-Nuts is a good food in itself, but the food contained in this little article is still better stuff. I commend the practice because I know that the greed and strenuousness, the consequent graft and other types of thievery and malicious mischief generally can never be cured by legislative action. "The only hope for the betterment of the race rests in individual soul culture. "In taking a step in this direction, your process has been so original and unique that it must set a pace for other concerns until finally the whole country gets flavored with genuine, practical Christianity. "I shall do all that lies in my power to aid in the appreciation of Grape-Nuts, not so much for the sake of the food itself as for the accompanying suggestions. "Visiting Battle Creek the other day with a friend, Dr. Kelly of Evanston, Illinois, while I was consulting with Mr. Gregory, my friend visited your factories and came away greatly amazed, not only at the luxurious furnishings of the offices generally and the general equipment of the place, but with the sweet spirit of courtesy and kindness that seemed to fill the air with a spiritual ozone that was good to breathe. "The principles expressed in the little booklet, "The Road to Wellville," I well know are practical and they work in business of all kinds, including sanitariums, as will be fairly tested before time is done. "I know you will not regard this letter of appreciation as an intruding one. It is simply the salutation of good fellowship to you from a man who, although he has never seen you, feels drawn to you by the kinship of thought. "The only thing that makes a man live forever in the hearts of his countrymen and his race is the good that he does. Your position in this respect is an enviable one and I wish to extend my congratulations." Sunday School Lesson for Jan. 29, 1911 Specially Arranged for This Paper LESSON TEXT—2 Chronicles 17:1-13. Memory Verses 3, 4. GOLDEN TEXT—"Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto your Jutt. 6:33. TIME of Jehovah's reign of 25 years was from B. C. 922 (or 873) to 897 (or 853). The 61st to the 88th years of the kingdom. PLACE—The reform extended to the hill country of Ephraim. The battle against the Syrians took place at Ramoth-Gilead, to the east of Jordan; the "hallelujah victory" near Tekoa, south of Bethlehem. This lesson covers the entire reign of the good King Jeboshaph. His name means "Jehovah judged," a name given by his religious father. His parents were Asa, the good king, and Azubah, about whom nothing more is known. His age at his accession was 35 years, and he reigned for 25 years. His character was plious, prudent, enterprising. He was a skillful general, a wise statesman, a courageous reformer. He "was alone counted worthy in later ages to rank with Hezekiah and Josiah among the most plausible rulers of the Davidic line." His reign was among the best and most prosperous in all Judah's existence. His great error, equally with his success, points out to us the way of true prosperity. He had a great advantage in having a religious father, who had done much toward reforming his kingdom, and uplifting his people. A good inheritance of virtue and religion is one of the greatest blessings ever bestowed upon a young man. Jehoshaphat strengthened himself against Israel because there had been wars with Israel, there having been a long rivalry between them, which was renewed in a border warfare during the last days of Asu. Baasha king of Israel had not only attacked Judah, but had fortified Ranah, a town only a few miles north of Jerusalem. The warrior Abah was on the throne of Israel when Jehoshaphat began to reign. He placed forces, "arsenals for the supply of war material," as well as soldiers, in all the fenced, fortified, cities, set garrisons, probably food supplies with leaders to take charge of obtaining and caring for them. The Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because Jehoshaphat stood for the things which God loved and wished to do for the nation. The Lord cannot in this sense be with those whose whole life and conduct are opposed to all God wants to accomplish. This was shown by the fact known to all that he walked in the first ways of his father David. The Greek translation omits "David." The reference then might be to the beautiful life David lived before his fall and restoration, but probably to his father Asa, who began his reign by devotion to Jehovah, and sought not to Baalim, the false and impure idols of the heathen. His heart was lifted up in the ways of the Lord; lifted up above worldly considerations and fears, filled with high motives and enthusiasm, in the cause of God, as in the case of the apostles who when filled with the Spirit joyfully went on in their hard task against all the powers of Jewish Sanhedrins and Roman emperors. He was lifted up into union with God. Jehoshaphat, like all other men was not perfect. All God's work through men is done with imperfect instruments, but the nearer perfection they are, the better work God can do through them. The great mistake of Jehoshaphat's life was not his being a friend to Ahab, and seeking to live at peace with him, but his making so close an alliance as to injure both kingdoms. He joined Ahab in an unnecessary war; and he married his son to the heathen daughter of Ahab and Jezebel. It was doubtless done with the good motive of uniting the divided nation into one kingdom again. It was a beautiful vision and glorious hope. "The church and the world were delightfully at one." But it was an almost fatal alliance, for it led to religious and moral declension, and to the almost total extinction of the royal family. Jehosphaphat took away the high places. Altars and places of worship on wooded hilltops, where there were also idols for worship. These places were near towns, and convenient for the gatherings of the people for pleasure, and social worship, which was often of the most licentious character. And the groves, more correctly as in R. V. Asherlm, wooden poles or posts representing the female goddess Asheroth. It must be remembered that there were two ways of using these high places, one for heathen worship with its impure rites, the other for the worship of Jehovah. But the use of these heathen places with their evil associations, for the worship of the true God, tended to debase that worship, and corrupt it with heathen rites and immorality. Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem; and he went out again through the people from Beersheba. in the southern part of his kingdom 40 miles south of Jerusalem in the less populated districts, to mount Ephram within the boundaries of the northern kingdom; and brought them back into the Lord God of their fathers. He made as thorough work as he could; for not only did the people need this civile and religious reform; but their reformation helped his own people to be true to the God of their fathers: Missionary work for others is the salvation and progress of the churca. TELLS OF OFFERS TO BRIBE PAPER Attempts to Buy Support of Journal of Commerce. Alfred W. Dodsworth, the Business Manager Of the Paper, Relates To House Investigating Committee How Man Wanted To Pay Fortune For Article Favoring Ship-Subsidy —Several Other Similar Offers Are Told Of—Spain Tried To Subsidize the Paper. Washington, D. C. (Special).—Revelation of several attempts to buy the editorial support of the New York Journal of Commerce in favor of ship subsidy legislation, which that paper has consistently opposed, was made to the House Ship Subsidy Investigating Committee Wednesday by Alfred W. Dodsworth, business manager of the Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin. Earlier in the day Paul G. Fournier, representing the Uranium Steamship Line, against which the so-called London conference lines, controlling what is alleged to be 95 per cent, of the Atlantic passenger traffic, are arrayed, told how railroad authorities in this country, notably the Central Passenger Association at Chicago, had refused to sell tickets routed over the independent lines unless the independents obtained the sanction of the conference lines. As the result of the evidence Mr. Dodsworth's brother, John W. Dodsworth, the editor of the Journal of Commerce, will be recalled to Washington to explain why he failed to enlighten the committee during his recent testimony. It is probable that Charles A. Conant, of New York, a former Washington correspondent, may be asked to throw light on an offer to subsidize the paper, claimed to have been forwarded through him to the Journal of Commerce, which he then represented, and the Federal authorities, may take note of the evidence as may the railroad's discrimination against the independent steamship lines on foreign tickets. Alfred W. Dodsworth arrived at the committee-room with a carefully prepared list of questions he wanted to have propounded to him, impelled by what he regarded as misrepresentation of the attitude of his paper. The testimony, however, suddenly broadened in scope, and the witness sought refuge in referring the committee to his brother, now in New York, for detailed enlightenment. But, he testified, about six years ago an unknown man came into his office and offered to pay the Journal of Commerce $100,000, taking 1,000,000 copies of his paper, for the insertion of an article in one issue, supporting the ship subsidy legislation. This man refused to disclose his identity unless his proposition was to be accepted. This proposition was, in the event of acceptance, to make out a certified check immediately for $10,000 to bind the agreement, and to pay the balance of $90,000 upon publication of the article. Mr. Dodsworth said he immediately called his brother, John W., into his office as a witness to the conversation and the proposition was turned down as an attempt to make an improper arrangement. NO PUBLIC CUPS. New Hampshire To Take Steps To Abolish Them. Concord, N. H. (Special).—The state assembly Wednesday passed a resolution by a viva voce vote ratifying the sixteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution providing for an income tax. The resolution then was sent to the Senate for concurence. The House also sounded the death knell of the public drinking cup in New Hampshire, when, concurring with the Senate, it passed a bill to give the State Board of Health authority to "restrict the use of common drinking cups in public places." "T. R." WILL BE PRESENT. To Participate In Dedication Of Irrigation Dam In Arizona. Phoenix, Ariz. (Special).—Theodore Roosevelt, accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Ethel Roosevelt, will visit Arizona March 18, according to information just received here. He will participate in the dedication of the irrigation dam that bears his name. He will spend the night at the dam and the following day will go to Mesa and visit his son Archie, who is attending a private school there. Youngstown, O. (Special).—Three men were burned and a loss estimated at $75,000 sustained when a 200-gallon tank of paint exploded at the Trussed Concrete Steel Company plant. The fire communicated to a section of the main building, in which newly painted metal, lath patterns and electrical machinery was stored. George Korvina, Joseph Kosta and John Fusco were burned in the explosion, the first named Weekly Review of Trade and Market Reports. Bradstreets's says: Trade undercurrents are running a little more freely in consonance with the progress of the season, but the improvement is neither widespread nor marked. While the larger centres report that salesmen are sending in better orders for dry goods and kindred lines, less important cities, with a few exceptions, principally in the South, agree that trade is not better than fair to good. At the moment jobbers are busy on early spring shipments, and wholesale trade has not as yet assumed an active appearance. In fact, buyers are still displaying a conservative attitude, preferring apparently to buy frequently rather than in large volume at any one time. "In industrial lines little in the way of improvement has developed. On the one hand there is a better demand for lumber at Southern points; fertilizers are active; farm machinery is in good request and builders' hardware is in demand, but profits in this line are scanty. "Business failures in the United States for the week were 202, against 353 last week, 275 in the like week of 1910, 307 in 1909, 408 in 1908 and 252 in 1907.

The Fountain Head of Life Is The Stomach A man who has a weak and impaired stomach and who does not properly digest his food will soon find that his blood has become weak and impoverished, and that his whole body is improperly and insufficiently nourished. Dr. PIERCE'S GOLDEN MEDICAL DISCOVERY makes the stomach strong, promotes the flow of digestive juices, restores the lost appetite, makes assimilation perfect, invigorates the liver and pririfies and enriches the blood. It is the great blood-maker, flesh-builder and restorative nerve tonic. It makes men strong in body, active in mind and cool in judgement. This "Discovery" is a pure, glyceric extract of American medical roots, absolutely free from alcohol and all injurious, habit-forming drugs. All its ingredients are printed on its wrappers. It has no relationship with secret nostrums. Its every ingredient is endorsed by the leaders in all the schools of medicine.

Sear BALTIMORE, JAN. 28, 1910 The “White Men's Hope” seems to be spriaging up all over the country. but none ol them seem to be in -con- dition.to tackle the "blaster of the ‘White Man's. Hope.’ ” —o— And now a white man comes for- ward and asks an injunction to pro- hibit the-Police Department from in- terfering with tenants moving into his property. He claims that the policeman is ¢ntitely too officious. We have been thinking: that all along. There are so many other in‘rac- tions of the law going on in this city that tbe police seem to bave their eyes closed to'that one is:compelled to wonder wliy they have taken so anuch pains to see that the. segrega- tion ordinance is puforeed. Our Methodist friends are in a straight between two, to be with ‘the white folks or depart from them. Some are in favors of packing up bag and baggage and-other favor: stay. jnga while longer. After all said and done it is hard to sever old time friendships, but sometimes it has to edone sooner or Jater. . We feel that the colored side of the Old Churcl: is able to take care of them- selves and will do the right thing at the right. time. ‘Whatever may be said in favor of @enominational lines, and there is 0 doubt but there are many things to be said in favor of them, one thing.can be said of the Afro-Ameri- cans, that they may be denomina- tional but they are not clannish, No Detter evidence could be given in sapport.of this theory than the tact that with but one exception, every ‘denomination has. rallied to th support of Bethel African Metho- dis: Episcopal Church since tts. re- ‘moval into the new quarters. . Aad to us this is a demoustratiou of th :ground work and priscipals of re Tigion, and of what ‘we read im the Bible where ic says “Many memburs ‘but-one body.” Sunday after Suaday and mght after night the cburch has b.e: largely attended, and ia every »- stance the collections have been ¢x- ‘eellent:. May the good work go ov. THE SEGREGATION IDEA RADi- CALLY AND ENTIRELY WRONG. ¥ ~ The most surprising thiog in con nection with the ‘segregation. con- “troversy is the absolute silence, and sealed mouths of the white Chri: tian ministers of the Gospel, Sur- prising, for, the very’ essence “of ‘Chitistianity is irrevocably ‘set “against the very idea and notion o1 segregation. . Christ was manjlested Hor the very purpose of destroying “the /segregation”” then ip exiptenes, “go'that’the-race of which,Ne. was “born should-be merged into a family go comprehensive as to be lthe’ very abstract... 1f there be in our. midst ‘any ecclesiastical body which glories ins the fact that it is a.“ White man's: Church,” such a. glorying thereby declares, whatever else. it mag be, that itis not a Christian Church. ‘The fandamental idea of the Christian Chorch is that kind. of brotherheod which refusés to. kaow “eolor.” And, in’ the religion of Christ there is no sach thing as re- ligious and secular life, if a man is 4 Christian he must be that he is. brother to every other nian. ‘Whe very ided of segregation in- troduced into. such. .a brotherhood indicates that it proceeds from. the evil one, and not from Lim who was mavifested to. bring together. We are far from judging our white brethren of the ‘cloth; but, if slic aim of the Christian Church which they represetit, is to draw men to- gether, how can they be faithint to their Master ia the. presence of an eflort which, conlessedly, seeks to put men even Jarther apart, while they refrain from saying a single word on behalf of the brotherhood, which they acknowledge every tine they get down upon their knees'and say, “Our Father who art in Ucaven?” 1s it mere mockery that they pray “Phy. Kingdom Come.” and then by their silence, help the enemy to keepit tramcoming? The Roman Catholic Church makes a great deal of the elaim of Catholic. ity; and’ we honog them for it, bur faith without works is dead, and in dividual Christians must live as they pray, Now, oa the corner of Biddle street and. Argyle avenue. this city, is che residence of a youny white priest; this: priest. faithfully gives up himsell tothe varied inter- ests of (lie congregation of colored persons whom he serves. Should he take sick and die, or be transfer: red to another mission field, then, no other white priest can take up his residence, in that house, and La bor jor the salvation. comfort avd consolation, of the hundreds of poor people who. atteod St. Barnabas Church. If we mistake not, in con- nection with Sv. Peter” Claver Church, there are not only, white priests, but several white sisters re- siding near the Church, and,. who are known for their good and sav: ing work in the homes and among just that class of colored people who are so objectionable to. many white people. Now, il these self'denyiag women of the white race are transferred elsewhere, then, under our “segre- gation” law, this good work must be abandoned because they ‘cannot be succeeded by other white sisters, who, under the;law, are probibited from moving in and residing in a colored neighborhood. 7 We make the point that the West Segregation Law interferes with @ man’s religion. ‘he Christian. re- ligion makes its obligatory upon one’s conscience, when he is sure that he is led. from vwithin, to live, reside, eat and. sleep, among. the people of any race, whose welfare he has at heart. ‘The law of God is higher thaa the law of man. No american legislative body has any authority to enact any law inter- tering with the exercise of a mau’s duty towards his God. The West law is radically and entirely wrong, It is in contravention of the law uf love which is the hightest aud greatest of all laws, Banquet.to Editor Postponed ‘The committee which has chaage ofthe banquet that is to be giver in honor of J.

Lawson's Thanksgiving proclamation was a very good piece of oratorical writing," said a Boston banker. "Lawson is always full of quips. "Not long ago I attended the funeral of a millionaire financier—one of those real 'high financiers' whose low methods Lawson loves to turn the light on. "I arrived at the funeral a little late. I took a seat beside Lawson and whispered: "How far has the service gone?" "Lawson, nodding towards the clergyman in the pulpit, whispered back: "Just opened for the defense." IT IS A MISTAKE Many have the idea that anything will sell if advertised strong enough. This is a great mistake. True, a few sales might be made by advertising an absolutely worthless article but it is only the article that is bought again and again that pays. An example of the big success of a worthy article is the enormous sale that has grown up for Cascarets Candy Cathartic. This wonderful record is the result of great merit successfully made known through persistent advertising and the mouth recommendation given Cascarets brands and users. It also all great successes, trade prices prey on the unsuspecting public, by marketing fake tablets similar in appearance to Cascarets. Care should always be exercised in purchasing well advertised goods, especially an article that has a national sale like Cascarets. Do not allow a substitute to be palmed off on you. The Oldest Klickitat Jake Hunt, the oldest living Klickitat Indian known, lies at death's door at his home adjoining this town east of here. The old Indian is reputed to be more than 100 years of age. Years ago an Indian village stood where the Hunt family now carries on a general farming business. All that is left of the old settlement is a little church, a totem pole and numerous mounds where the Klickitat lie who could not reach the century mark. Old Jake says that this was the Indians' paradise before the advent of early white settlers. Jake Hunt is destined not to die a poor Indian. His lands are as rich and productive as any in the valley and command a high price. He is said to have married seven times during his long career, but there will be only a widow and a few children to fall heir to his valuable property. -Husum Correspondence Portland Oregonian. Art in the Nude The photographer's lady was very preoccupied showing some samples of work to prospective sitters, when a tall and raw-boned individual, apparently from "the land," stalked solemnly into the studio, and intimated that he would like to know what the "picters" were worth. "Like that, $3 a dozen," said the photographer's lady, handing him one. The farmer gazed long and earnestly at the photograph of a very small baby sitting in a wash basin. "And what would it cost with my clothes on?" he finally asked. Petrified creeds always have the sharpest angles. Without a Cook?

NOTED COMEDIAN DINED BY ELKS Lighthouse Lodge Honors Theatrical Manager. TROUPE PRAISED BY PRESS. Midwinter Season at Atlantic City Crowded With Events In Secret and Fraternal Organizations — Social Functions in Abundance—Dr. P. L. Hawkins on Grand Jury. Bv A. E. EDWARDS. Atlantic City, N. J.-Lighthouse ledge of Elks entertained Mr. John Rucker, the noted comedian, on Tuesday evening, Jan. 17, at its new home, 120% Arctic avenue. Mr. Rucker, who is known to the theatrical world as the "Alabama Blossom," and his company of forty picked men played CHARLES B. DEAVER. during the past week at the Apollo theater, New York avenue and the beach front. The white papers spoke in high terms of the company, stating that Mr. Rucker was the original destroyer of the blues and the troupe was unrivaled in its line. It played to crowded houses every evening. All men prominent in business, fraternal and social circles of the city were present, and many were also present from out of town. The house committee had charge of the supper, programs and reception, and the welcome the noted entertainer received will long be remembered by those present. Mr. Joseph Purnell and his able assistant, Mr. Joseph Parker, the gentlemen who have charge of the local session every two weeks, deserved credit for the efforts put forth to have every one enjoy the social life of the men who start on the hour of 11 to make the burden of their fellow man as easy to carry as in their power. The chairman of the house committee, Mr. Thomas Jackson, and his aides prepared a table in the center of the large group of guests for the needed actor, and with his first bass singer, Mr. William Johnson, and the leading comedian, Mr. Campbell, together with the members of the troupe, partook of the splendid menu of the Elks' social session. Prominent among the large number present were Mr. and Mrs. J. Gibson, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gibson, Mr. and Mrs. John Western, Mrs. Hardin of New York, Mr. Butler, Mr. and Mrs. James, Mr. and Mrs. Parker, Miss Florn Purnell, Miss Lise Bouingham, Irene Taylor, Miss Kate Gross, Jennie Granger, Junita Crawford, T.

Titus Brown. The Ladies' auxiliary of Patriarchie No. 78. Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, held its first anniversary Tuesday evening, Jan. 17, at Odd Fellows' hall, North Michigan avenue. The special feature of the evening was the military drill by the Patriarchie. under the command of Captain Charles Holland, and the Ladies' auxiliary, under the command of Captain Katie Watts. Invitations to the commander of the Third regiment, of which Patriarchie No. 7S is a part, were responded to in large numbers. Mr. and Mrs. Alonza Ridley of the famous Hotel Ridley entertained Mrs. Joseph Burton, who formerly was connected with the public schools. Among the many present were Mr. and Mrs. Robert Pool of the Pool-coffage. North Indiana avenue; Mrs. Howard Day, wife of the principal of Atlantic City's bandsome $40,000 school; Mrs. Sparks, Mrs. Dr. P. S. Hawkins, Mrs. Jenkins, Misses Estelle Fitzgerald, Maud Fitzgerald, Miss Eva Lee, Helen Henson, Chara Lewis, Joseph Christian, Thomas Francis, Samuel Lewis, Ralph Deaver, Dr. Washington and Charles Deaver. Dr. P. L. Hawkins, our noted physician and surgeon, is impounded on the January grand jury. Among his colleagues are the richest and most influential men of the city, such as Harry Cook, proprietor of the Scaside hotel; David Barrett, city assessor; Brinkle Gummey, manager of the Hotel Brighton, and Postmaster Harry Bacchal Shirley-Stafford, owner of the Hotel Boston, which is just a square from the new $50,000 building of the Atlantic City gas plant and main office, has returned from his long trip to Minneapolis, Minn., looking the picture of health. He and his mother, Mrs. Solon-Stafford, have been the guests of Mrs. Ion Gibbs, an aunt of Mr. Stafford.

Prominent among those who came to exchange ideas and gather material for the coming great event, when women will vote, were Miss Eva Allen, Miss Bessie Banks; Misses Estelle Fitzgerald, Maud Fitzgerald, Nettle and Bessie Huttons and Mrs. Joseph Burton. Among the male intruders were Ralph Deaver, Charles B. Deaver, Joseph Christian and Dr. Washington. HEAVY BLOW TO ILLEGAL DEBT SLAVERY IN SOUTH. Judge Charlton Discharges Colored Youth Who Was Being Detained. The order by Judge Charlton in discharging recently from the Chatham county Jail Arthur Miller, the Negro boy who was being held on account of a debt which he had contracted with his employer in Meldrum, Ga., and which for some reason he was unable to meet, will long stand as a much deserved decision passed against a wrong which has been practiced for many years against our people in rural districts, in small towns and occasionally in large cities, says the Savannah (Ga.) Tribune. This order which Judge Charlton has just passed will not, as no doubt many people will assert, cause Negro employees to be less conscientious in the execution of their work, but it will make their employers, who have exercised little or no scruples against exacting out of their scanty wages exorbitant prices for the necessaries of life, more careful in forming those illegal contracts between employer and employee that have been a disgrace to the state and a shame against humanity. This is but one of a thousand such wrings that are being perpetrated against our race, and the effect of the passage of this order making it illegal to arrest or detain a person on account of indebtedness will be farreaching. BAPTIST FOREIGN WORK. How It Has Proposed In Africa and the West Indies. The growth of religious work in foreign fields as conducted by the colored Baptists of the United States is something wonderful when we consider the educational advantages they have had on the subject of worldwide missions. Fourteen years ago they had one missionary station and one missionary, with fewer than 200 members. Now they have over 100 missionaries, American and native, with valuable school and church property in West, South and British Central Africa, in the West Indies and in South America amounting to more than $40,000. Secretary L. G. Jordan, 726 West Walnut street, Louisville, Ky., on Jan. 10, received a cablegram from Rev. D. E. Murff in faroff South Africa telling of his desire to come home for the benefit of his health. He also needs financial aid. Secretary Jordan has sent out urgent appeals to all the colored Baptist churches asking contributions for the relief of Rev. Mr. Murff and the other missionaries on Sunday, Jan. 20. Dr. Morris, president of the National Baptist convention, has also written an urgent letter that the appeal of Secretary Jordan be heeded by the entire denomination throughout the country. Comer on Relation Between the Races. In his recent message to the state legislature Governor Braxon B. Comer of Alabama has the following to say concerning Afro-Americans: "Between the Negro and the whites there have been less friction, fewer murders, fewer assaults, fewer lynchings, than ever before, and the Negro has made advancement. This is due to two causes—prohibition and temperance laws and to the advance in the price of cotton. There is no question but that liquor is bad for the Indian and for the Negro, and I myself believe that there is no exception—that it is bad for all." Afro-Americans in Houston. Tex. are to be commended for the efforts which they are making to establish and maintain a well stocked library. In order to consummate the plans and secure the necessary funds to carry on the work the pastors of the various churches have been requested by the library committee to have their congregations make a special contribution to the fund on Sunday, Jan. 29.

Woman's Danger Periods Made Safe The Change of Life is the most critical period of a woman's existence, and neglect of health at this time invites disease. Women everywhere should remember that there is no other remedy known to medicine that will so successfully carry women through this trying period as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs. Here is proof: Natick, Mass.,—"I cannot express what I went through during the Change of Life before I tried Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I was in such a nervous condition I could not keep still. My limbs were cold. I had creepy sensations and could not sleep nights. I was finally told by two physicians that I had a tumor. "I read one day of the wonderful cures made by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and decided to try it, and it has made me a well woman. My neighbors and friends declare it "I read one day of the wonderful cures made by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and decided to try it, and it has made me a well woman. My neighbors and friends declare it has worked a miracle for me. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is worth its weight in gold for women during this period of life. If it will help others you may publish this letter."—Mrs. Nathan B. Greaton, 51 No. Main St, Nattick, Mass. Cornwallville, N. Y.—"I have been Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound some time for Change of Life, nervous a fibroid growth. "Two doctors advised me to go hospital, but one day while I was away I met a woman who told me to take Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I did know it helped me wonderfully.

H. at BURGESS 8000, Box 11, Atlanta, GA 30305 That the colored members of the Methodist Episcopal Church ought either to be set aside as an autonomous church secede before they are pit out was the contention made by Dr. Erasst Lyon, former minister to Liberia, in an address before the Methodist Episcopal Ministers' Meeting, at Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church, Wednesday. In his address Dr. Lvon cited the recent letter of Bishop I. B. Scott, which appeared in the Central Christian Advocate, an editorial which appeared in the same papers, and utterances made by Bishop Earl Cranston, the late Bishop Foster and others high in the councils of the church in support of his contensions that it was best for the Negro to withdraw, in whole or part, and retain his self respect. He called attention to the fact that laymen in the distinctly Negro churches had more influence in secular affairs, especially politics, because they had the hearty backing of the leaders of their denominations. Speaking of the election of a Negro to the episcopacy in the Methodist Church, he said that the whites would balk at a Negro bishop, whatever his qualifications may be, and the proposition for bishops for races has been defeated at the last General Conference held here. A general discussion of the paper will take place next Wednesday, and as a number of the ministers are opposed to segregation in any form, a lively discussion is expected.

Dear Friends, especially those of Ames Church, as there are a great many rumors in regard to my resigning the leadership of Ames Choir. I desire to make this explanation: September 8, 1910 I received from the pastor the appointment as leader of his choir. After having an interview with the members present I found that the choir was badly arranged. I tried in vain to induce the pastor to reorganize those whom I found there as songsters, each attempt being a failure. Seemingly, the pastor would always go adverse to what I would ask. The choir being in a rude state, naturally went to pieces, as there was no established rules to govern it. I addressed a letter to the pastor, kindly asking him to reorganize the choir as conditions were growing bad and make rules to govern same, from which I received no reply. At my last rehearsal I was very much surprised to find the pastor, coming in and stating to the members after a few remarks, if they were dissatisfied with their leader or organist, that either of them could or would be removed in order to satisfy them. I was dumbfounded for it was something I did not expect, it being in adverse to what I had asked him to do. It caused considerable contention among those present. One of the members of the choir, who never put in his appearance at rehearsals until 9 30 or 10 P. M., said "I haven't learned anything since Mr. Johnson's been here" (regardless of what had been taught). One other gentleman, whom I suspended for misconduct, stated that he had sent a letter to the pastor telling him that he thought I was not competent to lead his chair. On the following day my resignation was asked for. I readily yielded to the request although I could not satisfy myself that they were doing the right thing. As I had been appointed to the office I think I should of had his support. I do not think it right to remove one who comes to you with good recommendations is approved by the prosecution, simply to satisfy a judge. I persons who might be in the thought of think if the choir leaves was to be selected by the songmen—he or she should have been passed upon by the songsters and not the Stewards. Submitted to them what it may Submitted to those whom it may concern. Respectfully, WM. H. JOHNSON, adv Ex-Leader of Ames Choir.
