THIRTY FIRST YEAR. NO. 19. SALVATORE CONGRESS OPENS REGULAR SESSION Clark and Marshall Call the Houses to Order. MANY MEMBERS ARE ABSENT Ambitious Program Is Laid Out for the Nation's Lawmakers, and They May Be Busy Most of Washington, D. C.—At the stroke of noon Dec. 1 gavels sounded in senate and house signalizing the opening of the second, or first regular, session of the Sixty-third congress. The familiar figure of Speaker Champ Clark was seen in the house chamber. In the senate Vice President Marshall called the senators to order. This was the first regular session of Congress in many years, which was ushered in under entirely Democratic auspices—with Democrats in control of the house and senate and a Democratic executive in the White House. In the house the blind chaplain of that body, Rev. Henry N. Couden, delivered the invocation, after which a few new members were escorted to the speaker's desk to take the oath of office. This ceremony over the house proceeded to uninteresting routine business. Routine business and preliminary skirmishing over the currency bill occupied the attention of the senate. Subjects They Will Take Up. Many members, who were detained here during the summer and autumn months, have not returned yet, some declaring they would remain away until after Jan. 1, so as to be at home for the holiday season. They think little important business will be transacted until after the beginning of the new year. Although the program had not been definitely formulated, members look forward to tackling one of the most ambitious legislative tasks that congress in a long time has attempted. Here are some of the subjects of legislation that the new congress will take up: Final action on the currency bill. Anti-trust legislation. Rural credits. Naval program. Passage of a dozen appropriation bills. Train safety and safety on the ocean. Regulation of the shipping trust. Final action on the reports of lobby investigating committees. The cost of living problem. Legislation to protect women workers. River and harbor budget. Legislation looking to the building of a government railroad in Alaska. May Have to Consider Mexico. Another important matter which it is believed will engage the attention of congress is discussion of the Mexican problem. Congress will be on the job until about Dec. 19, when an adjournment will be taken over the Christmas holidays until Jan. 5. Appropriation bills will be under consideration within a week or two, it being the expectation that the District appropriation bill will be the first one considered. Many members predicted that congress would be in session during the coming summer and perhaps until the autumn. READY FOR ANYTHING NAVY PREPARED FOR EVERY EMERGENCY, SAYS DANIELS IN HIS REPORT. Washington, D. C.—In his annual report, just made public, Secretary of the Navy Daniels gives high praise to what Lincoln called "the web-footed" arm of the service. He says: "The story of the year's work by this patriotic body of efficient defenders of the republic is replete with examples of courage, devotion, sacrifice and progress. Happily the country has been free from war, but the navy has no holiday. Alert, prepared, equipped for any emergency, the 65,000 men composing the personnel demonstrate that when called upon they are always ready for duty." Mr. Daniels says that in considering the navy he has given less thought to the guns than to the men behind the guns, and that it is his ambition to make the navy a great university, with college extensions affloat and ashore. This naval education policy already is being put into effect. As a building program, the secretary recommends that the present congress authorize two dreadnaughts, eight destroyers and three submarines. He believes in an adequate navy, but looks with some favor on Winston Churchill's proposition for a "naval holiday" to check navy increases. Trust Buster Quits Job New York City.—In order to enter commercial life in this city, Joseph R. Darling has tendered his resignation as special agent of the department of justice at Washington, to become effective about Jan. 1, next it was announced here. Darling had charge of the preparation of the cases brought by the government against the bathhunter, harvesting, moving picture, Pacific coast plumbers and other so-called trusts. He has been with the government during Bonaparte, Wickersham and McReynolds administrations. MARCHESE DI CELLERE Marchese Vincenzo di Cellere is the new Italian ambassador to the United States, appointed to succeed Marchese Cusani-Confalonieri. Washington, D. C.—It will cost one billion one hundred, and eight million and a few odd thousands of dollars to run the United States government under the Democratic regime in 1915, according to departmental estimates, submitted to congress by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo. The total estimates, including $306,933,117 postal service (payable from postal revenues), call for $1,108,681,777.02, as against $1,074,305,869.73 appropriated for 1914. Where in other years the pension roll has grown by enormous leaps, this year the estimate calls for more than $11,000,000 cut. The total estimate is $169,150,000, as against $180,300,000 for 1914. The department of labor seeks $4,763,490,20, as against $3,443,290 in 1914. The Panama canal calls for $26,226,985, as compared to $21,146,824.38 in 1914. In this estimate is $2,146,824.38 for fortifications, providing $1,200,000 for 10 companies of coast artillery. The military establishment demanded $106,000,000, as compared to $95,000,000 for 1914. This estimate included $150,000 for 15 aeriales. The new income tax law will cost $1,500,000 for assessments and collections. For river and harbor improvements Secretary of War Garrison asked $41,400,000, a reduction to $10,000,000, including the following continuing contract: Ohio river, below Pittsburgh, $3,900,000. Cleveland, O., harbor, $200,000. Toledo, O., harbor, $135,000. For continuing and completing post- offices, Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo's requests included: Alliance, O., $45,000. Dayton, O., $50,000. Norton, O., $50,000. Pluana, O., $10,000. Salem, O., $28,000. Tiffin, O., $7,000. SPEEDS WHILE KISSING SPEEDS WHILE KISSING MAN IS FINED FOR DIVIDING HIS ATTENTION BETWEEN FAST DRIVING AND GIRL. New York City.—Armond Schmoll, a, handsome young Frenchman, was fined $25 by Magistrate Corrigan for dividing his attention between driving his automobile at a speed of 40 miles an hour and kissing a young woman who sat beside him in the machine. "Ah!" sighed the young man as he paid the fine. "If I was going too fast, I am all regret, but it was worth it." Schmoll admitted incidently that he had a summons to appear before another magistrate because of speeding. "Kissing the girl then, too?" asked the magistrate. "Alas, no," was the reply of Schmoll. LEAVE IMPORTANT CITY MEXICAN FEDERAL EVACUATE CHIHUAHUA, CAPITAL OF PROVINCE OF THAT NAME. Juarez, Mexico.—Chihuahua City, the capital of the state of that name, has been evacuated by the federal troops, according to rebel advices received here. The troops were reported to have been starved out. Chihuahua City has been known as the most important city in northern Mexico. A train on the Central railway was blown up by Zapatista rebels near San Vicente. Thirty persons were killed and all those who escaped were shot to death by the rebels. Attempt to Kill Aviator San Francisco, Cal—An attempt to kill Arthur Rybitzk, San Francisco aviator, before 3,000 spectators at the exposition grounds was thwarted just before his flight by the discovery that all safety wires supporting the main plane had been cut and all turn buckles uncrewed. Had he attempted to fly with the machine in that condition he would have attained a height of possibly 200 feet, when the machine would have crumpled and he would have been plunged to probabis death. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883, AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1913. CHAMPION OF HUMAN RIGHTS SERVED IN MANY FIELDS. Nation Wide Campaign Against Segregation and Other Indignities Intended to Humiliate Afro-Americans. Recent Appearance of New Publication Creates Great Interest. Philadelphia.—So much interest has been aroused by the publication of "The Conflict and Commungling of the Races" that a word about the career of the author, Dr. Caesar A. A. P. Taylor, is justly beifting. He is a man with Indian blood in his veins. He is doing uncle work for Justice and fair play for Afro-Americans. He is again like an old warhorse in the harness and will be heard from all along the firing line of the efforts which are being put forth throughout the country to defeat the aims of segregation and race prejudice. Thoughts of over half a century, contemporary with Douglass, Bruce, Langston, J. C. Pice, Tim Fortune, Calvin Chase, T. McCants Stewart, Henderson of the Torchlight, Clifford of West Virginia, Armenue of the New York Enterprise, Cooper and Knox of the Freeman, the elder Trotter, D. Augustus Strainer and the host of other stalwart champions of human rights and individual liberty, rise like ghosts in the memory when one reads "The Conflict and Commungling of the Races." More than twenty years ago Dr. Taylor was a traveler, writer and lecturer prominently before the public. He wrote and published "The Negro Race, Retrospective and Prospective; DR. CAESAR A. A. P. TAYLOR. or. The Negro Past. Present and Future." He was a contributor to leading publications by white and colored people, daily, weekly and monthly. His writings, will be found a quarter of a century back in the files of the A.M.E. Church Review, Philadelphia the Globe, Freeman and Enterprise, New York: the Freeman of Indianapolis, Ind., New York Tribune and other publications throughout the country. He published the Forum in Texas and Florida. He was a Florida tourist commissioner to the World's Columbian exposition, Chicago, in 1892-3, and commissioner for the state of Florida at large to the Tennessee centennial in 1897 by appointment of Governor William D. Bloxham. All this and more, but for many years Dr. Taylor has not been heard in active public life, and now he comes back again with his old time fighting vigor, as is seen in some of his latest efforts, notably in "The Conflict and Commilinging of the Races," copies of which he has sent to and received acknowledgments from diplomats and representatives in Washington and to distinguished public personages, men and women, of the white race throughout this country and abroad. To each of such persons to whom the book was sent it was accompanied by the following letter: In the interest of millions of tortured living men, women and children, the survivors of hundreds of thousands whose mortality blood clots aloud from the wounds to their recuperating and returning to be comforted because her children were not, I send to you a copy of my book, "The Conflict and Commingling of Men and Women, their preoperative as men and women, and this because of their race color, then that country's institutions, along with its churches, are a farce and a fraud upon civilization. We should not create the virtue of calling upon other governments to set their lesions in order. Such is mendacious, rogant, impudent, mendling. You should be the work of men and women with honest purposes. To this end I ask that you read the indictment I make in these pages. In his library at 1709 Lombard street, Philadelphia. Dr. Taylor has a most interesting collection of curios and old manuscripts bearing on the struggles of the race through the reconstruction period, with accounts of the part taken by leading white and colored men in the fight for civil citizenship for the colored people. He is a keen observer of men and things. With an indefatigable study of everything readable, he has possessed himself with a vast fund of information. He has been a traveler, lecturer, preacher, lawyer, promoter, editor, physician, rancher, newspaper correspondent and politician. He has worked on the farm, in the sawmill, steamboated and followed whatever occupation the exigencies imposed either in following his inclination or to survive the vicissitudes as he has made his way upward or been knocked and bumped in life. Discussing the Indian as distinguished from the Negro, he says: "Blood will tell is an expression often quoted, and nothing demonstrates it stronger than the achievements of one individual or race as compared with the achievements of another individual or race; hence tell me of the hero's fight in horror's blackest night, for they alone are great who great deeds have done, who triumph against fate, who from depths to heights have come." "I am proud that I am who and what I am, but I hate and despise my opposing environment, the conditions which hamper and hem me in. So by the eternals, I have sworn, I have determined to break through." "I will be a man among men, either living or dead. I will not be satisfied with any condition less than that which is due to a man and a gentleman." "Thus my soul, heart and brain—yeah, all my combined powers—even as a giant hand I lay it hard upon the world around me, compelling where coaxing does not avail the consideration accorded any other man." "Blood will tell. It is in me. I have done, am doing and will do until I die." "The world will know that in me a man lived. I will, even if there be one sixteenth of Negro blood in face. I will be a man, for blood will tell, and I have seen that Negro blood is telling." The Negro as an economic factor in the American scheme of government as viewed in "The Conflict and Commingling of the Races" is juicy argument for the honest student in economies not less than for the real statesman and patriot. Punning on page 65, the gifted writer says, "Surely competition begets rivalry anywhere among all peoples, but rash indeed are those, and insanely so, who do not realize that in this country the Negroes are industrial factors and have got to be considered in any economic scheme embracing capital and labor if this nation is to continue a free and prosperous republic." LIVELY INTEREST SHOWN IN FARMERS' CONFERENCE Recent Meeting Held at Hampton Was Largely Attended. Hampton, Va.—The colored people in Virginia are successfully working out their economic salvation and are winning the co-operation of the best white people in their struggles for better farms, better schools, better health, better homes and better morals. They are learning that alfalfa fields represent mines of wealth. Bright and well equipped schoolrooms in the country districts attract and hold orderly pupils and earnest teachers. These vital facts of life on the farm, in the school and in the home-were vividly presented at the farmers' conference, its seventh annual session recently held at the Hampton institute. Hundreds upon hundreds of people passed through the Hampton institute gymnasium during the two days of the farmers' conference and examined the interesting farm, school and home exhibits, which had been sent from all quarters of Virginia, and, indeed, from some of the neighboring states. President Eggleston of the Virginia Polytechnic institute, Blacksburg, Va., declared that the exhibits certainly had reached bed rock and represented more reality and less frills than ever before. He was especially struck with the marked improvement in the quality of the work which school boys and girls, farm demonstration agents and their co-operators, homemakers, supervising industrial teachers and rural school workers had submitted for public exhibition. The conference program included an illustrated talk on "Irish Country Life," by Charles K. Graham, director of the Hampton institute agricultural department; women's meetings for the discussion of laundry problems and the safeguarding of girls, competitions in mule and cattle judging, an exciting plowing match; Negro rural school work, by Dr. J. H. Dillard. A visit to the Hampton institute trade school, a battalion parade, farmers' experience meeting and discussion of coral cultivation by farming experts among the many interesting features. Addresses were delivered by Governor Mann of Virginia, President Eggleston of Virginia Polytechnic institute, Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal of Hampton institute: B. Graham, Ohio State university: John B. Pierce, Wellville, Va.; Thomas C. Walker, Elocester, Va., and others. James W. Poe's Interesting Poem. The poem entitled "A Prayer For Salvation," written by James W. Poe, editor of the Richmond (Va.) Reformer, has real literary merit. It expresses the desires of an individual for freedom from the conflicts and turmoil of life. It is also pathetic in its appeal to God for the salvation of mankind. The author has received many congratulations from literary folk on the merits of his poem. PROGRESS MADE AT LIVINGSTONE North Carolina Institution Adds Several New Features. Success of School Fostered by the A. M. E. Zion Church Reflects Credit Upon President W. H. Goler's Administration - High Standard of Work by Students In Normal Department. By GEORGE F. KING. Salisbury, N. C.-Every year Livingstone college, this city, the most prominent educational institution of the A. M. E. Zion denomination and one of the foremost colleges for the training of Afro-Americans, is constantly adding new features. Thus it is affording its hundreds of students from all sections of the country an excellent chance for mental, moral, spiritual and physical development. Dr. W. H. Goler, its progressive and affable president, has a faculty for procuring for his teaching corps men and women of exceptional ability—the class that distinguishes itself by make PROFESSOR W. H. HANNUM. ing the welfare of the resident body one of its principal objective points; hence the best work is accomplished, which each student can do. Being a man of rare administrative ability and a master of finance, Dr. Goler saw the steady ascendancy of the race in the commercial world and appreciated the increasing demands for thoroughly trained young men and women to maintain the splendid progress of Afro-American enterprises. He recognized the peculiar fitness of one of his professors who had proved himself capable of making a business department of the college a signal success. Present indications of the work of this new department inaugurated this college year fully sustain the action of the president in causing its inception. Dr. Goler was elected president of the college because of his qualifications for the position. Professor W. H. Hannum began his work at this institution during the school year in 1901. He has filled the position of treasurer of the college since 1902. He is a native of Maryville, Tenn., and a graduate of Maryville college, formerly a mixed institution, now attended entirely by white students, which is due to an act of the Tennessee legislature. Professor Hannum was the only colored man in his class, and when he was the third Afro-American to graduate from this institution. Nine colored men have graduated from this institution, and they have all distinguished themselves in their chosen activities. For several years Professor Hannum has been principal of the normal department of Livingstone college. He is fond of music and athletics and has brought up the latter feature to its present high standard. He is well known in this section of the state as the director of the college orchestra, which he conducted with such the success until it was disbanded the members having completed their studies at the school. During the time the orchestra was conducted here it furnished music for the opera house, playing for an exclusive class of white people. Professor Hannum is especially fitted for his work at Livingstone on account of his having completed the teacher's course at the Bliss Alger Business college in Saginaw, Mich. His home is a Mecca for music lovers. He is a member of the Masonic and Odd Fellow fraternities. Siloam Presbyterian Church Notes. The Siloam Presbyterian church in Brooklyn, pastored by the Rev. William A. Alexander for the past fourteen years, is free of debt. Exercises in reference to the event were held in the church during Thanksgiving week, and on Sunday, Nov. 30, overflow meetings were held and the mortgage burned. The amount recently paid freeing the property of all indebtedness was $17,000. Representatives from the Brooklyn presbytery were present at the relaying of the cornerstone previous to the final exercises, which the mortgage was burned. Dr. Alexander is highly esteemed by his brother ministers of the denomination and was once the moderator of the Brooklyn presbytery. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS WESTERN RESERVE CLEVELAND, O.

Boston, Mass.—Twenty-eight men were burned to death in a fire which destroyed the Arcadia lodging house at 1292 Washington-at, this being the heaviest death toll ever recorded in a fire in Boston. Two were fatally injured and more than a score were slightly hurt or overcome by smoke. There were 179 men asleep in the lodging house when the fire broke out. The flames spread rapidly through the flimsy building, and a number of men caught on the upper floors leaped from windows. All of the victims were poverty stricken men, the lodging house being a 15-cent-a-night affair, catering to the poor. Many of them were homeless wanderers, and fire and police authorities believe that names of all the victims will never be learned. The conflagration was attended by many thrilling escapes. Firemen spread nets and into these many of the panic-striken lodgers leaped. One man wrapped a mattress around his body and jumped from the fifth floor, the mattress saving his life. Policemen from the East Dedham-station, lined along the fire escapes, were forced to beat the fugitives with their clubs to start them on their way to the street and clear the fire escapes to make room for others fleeing from the building. The policemen stuck to their task until the flames burst from all the upper windows and forced them to abandon their position. The dead, dying and injured were distributed about on the sidewalks, neglected while the first arrivals were to rescue others from the flames. BANDIT HOLDS UP BANK MASKED MAN, SECURES $10,000, KILLS MANAGER AND ES- CAPES IN AUTO. Plum Coulse, Manitoba.—A lone masked bandit held up the Bank of Montreal branch here, stole $10,000 in currency, shot and killed the bank manager, H. M. Arnold, and escaped in a stolen automobile. The masked man first appeared at a garage where, with a revolver, he forced the garage proprietor to supply him with a powerful automobile. The bandit drove the machine to the rear of the bank. Arnold was alone, other employees not having returned from luncheon. The bank manager sub- mitted while the robber took several packages of money, but attempted to follow as the latter entered the auto- mobile. Then the bandit turned and shot Arnold. BARS SUFFRAGE TALK SCHOOL BOARD DECIDES QUESTION CANNOT BE DEBATED IN PUBLIC HALLS. Milwaukee, Wis.—The burning question of woman suffrage cannot be debated in the public school halls. The school board, by a vote of 10 to 5, has decided against the innovation, proposed by Mrs. Victor L. Berger. Directors Cantroviz and Kander, both women, as well as Ramstack and Augustyn, sustained her. The opposition contended that to allow woman suffrage talks in the school hall would open the doors necessarily for other political discussions. "Girls, Never Take a Drink." New York City.—Before I am sent away to jail, I want to give one last warning to girls, never take a drink, especially a cocktail." This was the parting advice given by Miss Grace Legendre, former bookkeeper at the Hotel Gregorian, as she was led from the Yorkville court after confessing the theft of $400 from the hotel. "A cocktail taken four years ago at the wedding of a friend started me on the downward path," said Miss Legendre. ```markdown ``` BUSY TIME FOR THE PARCEL POST SEEN Burleson Prepares for Holi- day Season Rush. INSTRUCTIONS TO THE PUBLIC Postmaster General Urges Citizens to Mail Their Christmas Packages Early in Order to Reach Destination on Time. Washington, D. C.—During the next four weeks Uncle Sam's infant prodigy—the parcel post service—will be called upon to perform a herculean task in connection with the transportation and delivery of millions of Christmas gifts. Postmaster General Burleson has made extraordinary preparations, to prevent congestion in postoffices and to insure prompt delivery of the parcels. In order to secure the co-operation of the public, Mr. Burleson has caused to be printed for distribution throughout the country hundreds of thousands of circulars and placards containing directions for the proper preparation of Christmas gifts for transmission by mail. Mail Christmas Parcels Early. Christmas parcels should be mailed early. For local delivery they should be mailed not later than Dec. 23, and for outof-town delivery as early as possible, but in any event in time to reach the offices of destination at least two days prior to Christmas. Christmas gifts sent by mail should be wrapped securely. The containers or wrappers should be sufficiently strong to withstand the necessary handling incident to transportation and delivery. Glassware, crockery, toys easily breakable, glass-framed pictures, etc., should be carefully packed in boxes of metal, wood, leather or corrugated pasteboard, with sufficient excelsior, raw cotton or similar matter to prevent the contents coming into contact with any portion of the box. Parcels should be addressed plainly. The addresses should be complete and plainly written in ink. The regulations require that parcel post packages shall bear the names and addresses of both the sender and the addressee. How to Send Packages. Parcels sent in advance of Christmas may be marked, "Not to be opened until Christmas," and "Best wishes," etc., may be included in parcels, but no other written or printed communication should be placed therein, as this will subject the parcel to a higher rate of postage. Parcels should not be sealed or otherwise closed against inspection; the sealed parcels are subject to the first rate of postage. Photographs, printed books, and other printed matter are not included in the parcel post, but are third-class matter on which the postage rate is one cent for each two ounces or fraction thereof. Parcels not exceeding four ounces in weight may be mailed in street boxes when prepared in conformity with the foregoing requirements. Ordinary postage stamps are valid for postage on parcel post matter. Christmas stamps or stickers of any kind other than postage stamps should not be placed on the address of mall matter, as this renders such matter unmailable. Valuable parcel post packages may be insured against loss in an amount not exceed $25 on a payment of a fee of 5 cents in addition to the postage. And for a fee of 10 cents such packages will be insured in any amount not exceeding .50. KILL CASHIER, ROB BANK TWO BANDITS SHOOT TO DEATH MAN WHO ATTEMPTS TO PURSUE THEM. Blythe, Cal. — Two robbers entered the Palo Verde Valley bank here at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and, after robbing the bank of $5,000 in gold and currency, shot and killed Cashier A. W. Bowles, who attempted to pursue them. Cashier Bowles was alone in the bank when the men walked in through a rear door a few minutes before 3 o'clock. Forcing Bowles to put up his hands, they grabbed all the money in sight, stowing it away in their pockets and inside their shirts and then made a dash for their horses with Bowles in pursuit. Gaining the street, Bowles caught up with one of the robbers and attempted to hold him as he called for help. The bandit drew a gun and shot the cashier through the neck. The two robbers quickly mounted and rode south into the mesquite jungles bordering the Colorado river. Bowles died half an hour later. Washington, D. C.—Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, in his annual report, just made public, tells how his department restored confidence in the financial world twice during the year. The first instance was soon after the convening of the special session, when he announced he was ready to deliver $500,000,000 in emergency currency to the banks. Again in August he offered to deposit for crop-moving purposes $46,000,000 in national banks in those parts of the country where it was needed.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1913. The new tariff is lessening the number of jobs in America by increasing the number of jobs in Europe. In Buffalo a Democrat was elected mayor by 28,000 votes; the Republicans and Progressives divided 32,000. Currency reform and Mexican war combined fail to draw attention from the advancing cost of food under the "rule of the people." The experience with the I. & R vindicates Governor Harmon's protest against it in his address to the constitutional convention. The one-term plank in the Democratic platform is more likely to benefit another than Col. Bryan, although he forced his party to adopt it. The effect of the Democratic tariff is to put control of the prices of things we consume in the hands of foreign trusts which we cannot control by law. The Democratic tariff has given higher wages and more work for European factory hands, who now are making goods for American consumption. It has had no other effect. The Gazette congratulates its contemporaries, the Philadelphia Tribune, on its triumphant entrance upon its thirtieth year, and the Boston Guardian on its entrance upon its twelfth year. "The Mole St. Nicholas" liar has bobbed up again, and this time is telling the American daily newspaper a great big "Cuban voodoo" story with the Colored residents of the island as its foundation. If the loud-mouthed, noisy Negroes do not stop making a nuisance of themselves in the Central Ave. and other local street cars, it will not be long before we will have to fight "jim-crow" cars here in Cleveland. Up to Nov. 1, there had been forty four lynchings, this year—four less than last year. Only seven of the forty-four were even accused of attacking women, and none of the forty-four were tried and convicted. A fine (?) commentary on the great American republic and its boasted civilization and laws! We cannot endorse, too strongly, which we republish this week, because we want our people to read it carefully and thoughtfully and then recommend it to others. The Gazette has had so much to say anent the same things in the past year or two that it can but help to have all know how others of the race feel and think about them. Electing a democratic president and Congress—placing southern democrats in power at Washington, D. C.—has caused the pernicious and insulting segregation idea to grow "by leaps and bounds" throughout the north as well as the south. The result is what we have today. The question is, will the change that is to come with the election of President Wilson's successor be made soon enough to enable us to overcome the segregation growth, at least. In this section of the country? We sincerely hope so. New Jersey, a Democratic state these days, has three Afro-Americans in its state legislature—E. M. Barksdale of Orange County, W. C. Crosby of East Orange, and T. J. Smith of Essex County. It does seem as though our people of that state place race-loyalty above selfish pride and personal gain. This about equals Ohio Afro-Americans' record, if memory serves us correctly—only we had three members of our state legislature on several different occasions, but only when the Republicans were in the ascendancy. Are there any Afro-American members of the legislatures of the Southern states? We have not noticed the election of any for several years. THIS REPUBLIC'S GREATEST WEAKNESS. The fact that a southern court—from the state supreme court down—upholds a pernicious, insulting and un-American "jim-crow" car or segregation law, ought not to be surprising or discouraging to our people anywhere. It is to be expected. Southern courts will and do uphold anything against our people, particularly, and against about everything and everybody else, in general, that is in line with the dominant sentiment of their state and community. State law always, and even federal law, as a rule, in that prejudice-ridden section of this country, and do bow to the prevailing sentiment, and are invariably made subservient to it. This is the greatest weakness and shame of this great American republic, and explains why so many of the fundamental laws of the land are practically nullified in one half of this country by clearly unconstitutional southern state "laws." With republicans in control of the United States Supreme court, there always seemed to be ground for hope that, some day, that august body would rise to the occasion, when the matter was properly placed before them, and do its duty in the case of the clearly unconstitutional disfranchisement and "jim-crow" railroad (inter-state) "laws." But, as matters now stand—with southern ex-rebels and democrats in the majority on the U. S. Supreme court bench, and their kind in control of the other two co-ordinate branches of the government—the executive and legislative—the ground for hope has about disappeared, for a few years at least, we fear. This republic's greatest weakness, there fore, lies in its inability to enforce its fundamental laws—those of the federal Constitution—in all parts of the country, particularly, the south. Time and national progress only, will bring about the desired and necessary change. Meantime, however, there is much that we can and must do to hasten its coming. RACE PRIDE AND CONSCIOUSNESS The Jews are class-conscious, and the Negro needs to cultivate class-consciousness also. A short time age 42 Jewish organizations decided to organize a censorship of theaters of all grades and to disfavor, denounce and punish caricatures of Jewish traits upon the stage. And this was not an idle threat. Jewish theatrical managers refused to stage such plays, Jewish theater-goers refused to patronize them and Jewish influence and money, in a hundred different directions, were set against plays unnecessarily disparaging and traducing to Jewish character. The theater is an educator and stands side by side with the church, school, press and platform in its influence on determining the predominant sentiment of the community. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" stood on the stage with Douglass and Phillips in the mighty work of upturning slavery. If the stage persistently gives low-down representations of the Negro it will build up and embitter a sentiment against him. The theater-goer who is "tickled to death" by the ridiculosities of Bert Williams or Dudley, and the manner in which the actor characteristically traduces the Negro, goes home cogitating on new postulates on Negro inferiority. Out of the loins of these cogitations spring the whelps, industrial ostracism, "jim-crowism" and segregation. The time has come for the advanced Negro to organize against the "niggerisms" on the stage, against the coon songs, against the ragged acting, against the Negro never appearing on the stage except as something grotesque and absurd, and that, too, with the barest possible semblance to something of the human kind. We would like to see Robert Charles, Tuscumbia Reynolds, L'Ouverture or some other noble Negro character on the stage, about whose career fancy might weave the "mazes of some wild and wondrous tale," but we are tired of seeing the flat-footed, long-heeled, big-mouthed gorilla-looking fellow on the stage, calling himself a Negro, who deals out to you chunks of absurdities and incoherencies until you think you are in an insane asylum and it is giving an exhibition of one of its classes. The effect of such acting on the mind of the white auditor is to sink the Negro lower in his estimation: upon the Colored auditor its effect is to teach no lesson at all, but to start out on the road troops of young Negroes to sing "coon songs" and do "monkey-business." These "niggerisms" are not fit to be exhibited to our young women and men. Many of them have immoral suggestions, none of them have either wit, humor or sense and all should be let absolutely alone.—Prof. P. H. Murray, editor St. Louis (Mo.) Advance. JACK JOHNSON IN PARIS Paris, France.—Jack Johnson continues in popular favor with Parisians because of his geniality, and conduct in last week Wednesday night's wrestling bout at the Nouveau cirque with the German, Urbach, which ended in a riot. Johnson made his debut as a champion. He was the most vastly unpopular here because of his unfair methods. It was a catch-as-catch-can affair, and Jack threw the Teuton twice. After the second fall, Urbach struck Johnson in the face. Jack only laughed and did not retaliate. The crowd surged about the ring, threatening Urbach, and the arrests were made. The lie published in the Cleveland Daily News, last week, and dated "Paris, Nov. 29," which stated that Jack had trouble, similar to the above with one "Sproul, a Liberian," at the same place, was silly and the output of a prejudiced mind. How it does seem to "grind" prejudiced American "pin-head" newspaper "sport-writers" to note Johnson's success and popularity abroad. Poor things; they deserve a few of Jack's good punches.

Who has not been depressed and disgusted on picking up one of the big dailies and having some glaring headline to chill your heart with an account of some "bloody Murder"—"Negro Lynched," "Race Riot" or some other Satanic attraction? I experienced the disagreeable feeling, so often does this happen that we are schooled to look for the sensational in our newspapers and are disappointed when we do not receive it. And the page without its "Murder" and "Divorce Scandal" is treated with indifference by many and entirely ignored by others. The news of the murders morbid finds studied expression concerning the Negro and it is he who is victimized and used to furnish news of that sort which a certain class seem to gloat over. The sins of the big dailies may be said to partake of both offices, the "commission" and "omission," when dealing with the Negro. Commission when they publish exaggerated accounts which are detrimental to us, and Observation when they are silent on Observation facts and happenings of the Race. Then it is to the Negro newspaper, we must look for that fountain of inspiration which soothes and sustains; which buoys up our thoughts and guides along the ways of hope. If we want race news we must read race papers. If we want better papers, we must give better support in the way of paid subscriptions, for all papers live or die according to a ruler or weak continuity. That our papers might live, and live strong, let us offer generous aid in one of the two best ways—as an advertiser or a subscriber or both.—Chas. A. Starks, in the Kansas City (Mo.) Son.

Our readers will oblige us greatly by sending at once the addresses of persons in the cities named above, or others to whom we can write relative to the matter. A HOT FOOTBALL GAME. Our Student Boys Beat the Town Boy —One Player Sustains a Broken Collarbone and Others Are Injured, Goll Personal and Obituary. Oberlin, O.—The game Thanksgiving between our "town-boys" and our students resulted in a score of 10 to 0, in the latter's favor. Monday making a touchdown the last two minutes of play by a fumble, running 70 yards with R. Godette and W. Smith close behind. The town boys thank the band for the music, the girls who "rooted so strenuously for them and Mrs. Huddain for the use of Mrs. Mollman for the tice yells and songs. Each of the players made a speech. On Wednesday evening, the "brown and white" met at Mr. and Mrs. W. Evans to prepare for the game. On Thursday evening, a reception was given the "purple and white" (student boys) by the girl students. Speeches were made by the players, Mrs. Kelly being the cheer leader, Mrs. W. Idyday, the cheer and were given a reception by the town girls at Mrs. Elizab Smith's. Ice cream and wafers. A speech was made by each player and Mr. H. Mosley, who advised the boys. One of the largest crowds of the year witnessed the game, many being from out of the city. A. Tuck's collarbone was broken and others received bad, injuries—Mr. Sanford Hodge died, Friday, at 10:30 p. m. after years' illness.

Miss Leona Woods will return to Cleveland, Miss Mijne Mijne and Fred Pittsburg, are here visiting—The Aid society met at Mrs. J. Petfordt's last Wednesday, and enjoyed themselves—Sarah Brown of Chicago and Mrs. Nellie Mitchell of Cleveland, are here visiting. The Americans have a polite habit on being presented to a new acquaintance of uttering the words, "Pleased to meet you," although upon what the pleasure can rest, or how they know that it is a pleasure, or why an ordinary incident which is not the fulfillment of any anticipation and which may turn out to be very disagreeable, should be pronounced at sight to be pleasant, I have never been able to understand. — London Saturday Review Surprising Economy. The treasurer of the Newburyport water works sent out his annual bills one year by mail. In the corner of the envelope was the customary request: | "After five days return to Newburyport water works, Newburyport, Mass." What was his surprise to have a woman come into his office five days afterward and pass him an empty envelope with the remark: "Here is your envelope, but what you want of it is more than I can see."—Lippincott's Magazine. No Matter Who A party of women were being escorted through the statehouse by a bowing and scraping guide. The women were of the enthusiastic type and raved over this and that and said, "Oh, simply too gorgeous." Finally they were shown the portrait of a former governor. "Oh! superb, isn't it?" said one of them, and "an excellent likeness, too. A portrait of whom did you say it was?" Sound Advice to Mistresses Sound Advice to mistresses. To respect the servants' point of view, to be generous in our mailings with, to exploit in our directions, and to give them what might be called an interested, considerate margin of personal freedom and responsibility, will lead to better service and better servants. Whatever is done in contradiction to this is spilling—Century Magazine. His Inference. Robert had been dutifully listening to the conversation of his parents. They were discussing a certain Mrs. Smith who was tagged in their talk as a grass widow. "I say, pa," said Robert after some reflection, "is a grass widow a woman whose husband died of hay fever?" Sailors' Ability to Sleep Sailors and doctors are, perhaps, the only people who can always sleep at will. The sailor, as he will tell you, can "sleep as well on a clothesline as on a feather bed." He simply throws himself down, closes his eyes and is asleep before you can say "Jack Robinson." "Getaway" in Gotham. A New York newspaper has received a number of letters on the best method of accomplishing a graceful "getaway" when making a call. One correspondent says he manages it by exclaiming suddenly: "Oh, can the piffle; I guess I gotta be goin'." To Cure Headache For a nervous headache allow warm water to run on your wrist, and apply hot cloths at the back of your neck. If very severe, use mustard plasters on the back of the neck and temples. Life's True Heroes Wordsworth characterizes the "little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love" as the "best portion of a good man's life." The real heroism of life is to do its little duties promptly and faithfully. Will Find Some Variation Will Find Some Variations. The girl who gets her ideas of love and the young man who gets his ideas of business out of the story papers are both liable to meet with disappointments. Origin of "Whisky." The word Usk is an Anglicized form of the Welsh word wysg, a Celtic word meaning water. It is connected with the Irish word uisque, from which the Saxon gets the word whisky. Seems This Way Sometimes. Some men succeed in life by miring their own business. Others manage to draw large salaries for neglecting other people's business.—Washington Star. Dickens' Love of the Little Ones. Speaking of babies, Dickens said: "I love these little people, and it is not a slight thing when they who are so fresh from God love us." No Charge for This. Young persons should reflect that everything which is blind and which laughs at locksmiths is not love.—Puck. Cheap Labor in Trinidad. Labor is so cheap in Trinidad that it does not pay to buy lawn mowers, as coolies will cut the grass with a small sickle or knife at a trifling cost. Daily Reminder. No matter how the other markets fluctuate, good, old, common, everyday politeness is still quoted at the same figures. Punished Perjury With Death. The early Romans threw perjurers from the Tarpeian rock, a high cliff, falling from which was certain death, and at a later period any person who swore falsely was sentenced to have his tongue cut out, which also was equivalent to death. Emerson's Advice. There should be on every tower watchers set to observe and report of every new ray of light, in what quarter goever of heaven it should appear, and their report should be eagerly and reverently received.—Emerson.
