THE FREEMAN A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER VOLUME XX NUMBER 41 THOMPSON'S REVIEW CHURCH RACE PROBLEM IS TEMPORARILY ADJUSTED Spirit of National Business Menis Broadcast--A Number of New Negro Enterprises--Democrats Against Negro Soldiers. (Staff Correspondence.) Washington, D. C., October 22.—The General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church has met and adjourned, with a net result limited to a temporary adjustment of the so-called "race problem," yet so conservatively and ingeniously put as not to be officially considered such. In order that local option may be pursued in the matter of racial contact in such States or sections where the social problem is acute, it has been provided that a suffragan Bishop, with seat in the House, but without vote or right of succession, may be consecrated, by and with the consent of the presiding Bishop of said diocese. This has direct reference to those Southern communities, like Arkansas, where the advent of Negroes in the church on terms of equality would tend to drive the whites away. The solution of the perplexing problem is perhaps the wisest that could have been evolved at this time, and while not exactly what the rampant segregationists wanted, nor as complete a victory as the advocates of a "full Bishop for colored work" desired, it is a step toward local self-government which will permit the race to labor in an atmosphere of harmony in many quarters where near-strife ruled before. The conservative character of the Episcopal church was maintained in the fact that all of the moted problems called up for consideration at this convention failed of settlement, and aside from the suffragan Bishopic issue, which may be deemed a "draw," as to the complexion of said suffragan, the church stands practically where it stood prior to the meeting at Richmond. Divorce, amendments looking to change of name, elimination of archaic statutes, and proposed legislation of a positive nature "went over" to the next convocation. Wisely or unwisely, the Episcopal church is an "Artful Dodger" of superior quality to any that Dickens could ever have created. church leaders who are willing to live up to the sublime doctrine of the "Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man," as well as to preach it from the pubit. All in all, the Negro has been benefited by the strong limelight in which Episcopal convention kept him throughout its sitting, and the legislation inspired by his needs, will doubtless prove to be a step in the right direction. The suffragans Bishops to be chosen wherever required by circumstances may be white or black. Just when the fruit of selection be made is not known. There is a feeling however, that among the earliest diocese to be considered for assistant in charge of the colored work is that of Washington, where the presence of 100,000 colored people constitutes a rich field in possibility, if the right man is given control. It is understood that Bishop Satterle, of this diocese, has long been a warm advocate of the coadjutor system, and if he is confronted by no insurmountable barriers, it is reasonably certain that he will take steps to have a competent Negro priest made a suffragan Bishop for the diocese of Washington and vicinity. St. Luke's church is a "national church," in the sense that it is one of the largest, most influential and wealthiest parishes conducted by the colored people in the country, and a model for others throughout the land. Its pulpit is occupied by Rev. Thomas J. Brown, a scholarly man, an able pulpit orator and unusually resourceful executive force. His qualifications were openly convassed at the Richmond convention and complimentary reference was made to him in the Associated Press report that was sent out to the country. If a colored suffragan Bishop is to be "made," with Washington as his station—in accordance with the views of Bishop Satterle and the pressing demands of the existing situation, it is more than likely that the Episcopal mantle will fall upon the worthy shoulders of Rector T. J. Brown. Arkansas, Mississippi, South Carolina and Louisiana are also due some especial attention along this line, if the church is to prosper in those prejudice-ridden localities. That the Negro is invading new fields and avenues of industry is evident from the number of new business enterprises that are springing up from day to day in all parts of the country, owned and operated by colored men. The spirit of the National Negro Business League is abroad in the land and it grows in momentum as the years roll by. The annual meetings of the National Negro business League bring to the surface of public affairs new and gratifying evidences of the business progress and achievements of the race. The latest candidate for public favor is the Goldfield Mines Investment Company, located at Goldfield, Nev., recently organized with a capital stock of $50,000, and owned and managed entirely by colored men. The company is not made up of amateurs and theorists, but is composed of men who have pioneered their way into the great mining section of the West and who have made individual successes in their mammoth undertakings. The Goldfield Mines Investment Company has started out under the most flattering auspices. The men at the head of it are practical miners and successful investors. Mr. Titus Alexander, the president, is a man of exceptional mining ability. He has made a great deal of money and has been for a long time in the employ of Nixon & Wingfield, one of the most prominent mining firms in the Golden West. Mr. George A. Young, director, is one of the leading business men of Detroit, Mich., and an active member of the best lodges there. Mr. John H. Maddox, the treasurer, is well known in Oakland, Cal., and has perhaps made more money from stock in Goldfield than any other member of his race. Mr. W. C. McFarland, secretary and general manager, who for more than two years during the time he was not employed in and around brokerage houses in Goldfield, has been mining and prospecting in the best parts of Nevada. Mr. J. L. Derrick, of Oakland, Cal., who for years has been one of the most successful newspaper men and fire insurance experts on the Pacific coast, is an active and useful worker in the best fraternities of California. These are the officers and taehir names are ample evidences of the financial soundness of the corporate other represent. Although this company owns six first-class mining claims adjoining a SOME OCTOBER EVENTS. THE PRESIDENT MEETS SOUTHERN BEARS. T.R. "NIT." "DEE-LIGHTED TO MEET YOU." SAME OLD FOOTBALL GAME. "IS HE COMING?" GROSS SOAP TO THE WOODS. G. HAYWOOD NUT HUNTING YALLOW-EEN shaft from which shipping ore has been taken, close to Goldfield, President Alexander says it takes no chances at speculating with its capital. This is organized as the parent company for whatever mining or leasing companies that will follow, in this way: The parent company sells to the leasing or mining company whatever property or leases it desires, for consideration enough to reimburse the parent company for all expenses, plus a good profit; then, if the mining or leasing company makes a mine, or its stock greatly increases, the parent company, being a stockholder, is naturally benefited; but if the mine or lease does not make good, the parent company is still the gainer because of the profit fro mthe sale of her property. So the Goldfield Mines Investment Company will do no speculating whatsoever. It takes no chances. Like banking institutions properly conducted, this company makes its money from commissions. Safe business men are singing its praises from ocean to ocean, an dfrom this nucleus it is probable that the egro will in time become a factor of no mean proportions in this new field-of commercial development, based upon the natural resources of the Far West. Mrs. Lizella Augusta Jenkins Moorer is the author of a book kof poems under the title of "Prejudice Unveiled." In which is dealt some vigorous blows against the anti-ergo movement that threatens the well-being of the race in so many quarters. Noting with much pain that the Northern man who goes South to study the race problem generally meets the servant class and does not get a correct estimate of the higher qualifications and impulses of the Negro, and that when the Southern man writes he invariably eliminates the better side of the Negro's character and possibilities, painting a picture that makes him appear as an "undesirable citizen," to say the least. Mrs. Moorer has been moved to write this unique volume, in order that the ignorance of the one and the malice of the other may be laid bare, to the end that truth may assert itself for the betterment of the Negro, she has collated a series of poems, touching the emotional, economic, historical and educational phases of the race problem, and very appropriately denominated the work "Prejudice Unveiled." Jim crow cars, the peonage system, the Southern press and pulpit, lynching, the "door of hope," immorality, the Crum appointment, loyalty to the flag, Negro heroes, several institutions of learning in the South, and the problem to be solved by the emancipated colored man are some of the themes she treats in metrical form, yet with a power that carries conviction to the hardest heart and disarms the most sneering of critics. The volume is published by the Roxburgh Publishing Company, Boston. It is neatly bound in cloth and contains one and seventy pages of matter that can be read to advantage by both races. ed. After much private discussion between the persons at interest, in which the "unwritten law" formed a factor, the case was hushed up and the suspected ones were released from custody. Mullen, to the last, maintained that no Negro was involved, and consented to drop out of the matter only upon the assurance that no Negro would be accused of the crime, in which event he would appear for the defendant. This was the stand of a true man. He would not by silence allow an innocent man, though a poor Negro, be unjustly condemned. But for his prompt assertion that no Negro was connected with the episode in the woods, a disgraceful lynch-bee would have taken place within a stone's throw of the national capital. As an evidence of the unreliability of the average "identification," and the likelihood of punishing an innocent man when an angry mob takes the law into its own hands, have never had a more striking example. A threat has come to light that the Democrats will make a desperate effort at the coming Congress to abolish the four colored regiments now in the United States army establishment. The men said to be concerned in the dirty business are led by one Helfin, of Alabama, who thinks the Negro ought to be banished from the face of the earth. They are working on the basis that the people of this country do not want colored soldiers stationed in any of their communities, and though the colored regiments are now in the Philippines, the Twenty-fourth will be home soon, in its turn, and the others must return, in a few years, when the problem will become a most acute one. It is further claimed that no officers care to command Negro troops, and that the retention of Negro soldiers in any rank in the army causes constant friction within and without. Privates do not like their fellow enlisted men and outbreaks are frequent among them. These are some of the flimsy arguments the gang of political pirates from the South will put up to the Sixteenth Congress, and they claim that they will have Northern strength in support of their position because of the unwelcome assignment of the Twenty-fourth to New York State and the general anti-colored sentiment. THE NEGRO IN THE NORTH BOOKER T, WASHINGTON IN THE CONGREGATIONALIST SOLUTION OF PROBLEM ON THE FARMS The South Affords Greater Opportunities--City Life Unfavorable to Health and Morals--Race and Sectional Peace Needed. My attention has been repeatedly called in recent years to the rapid increase of the Negro population in Northern cities, particularly in the larger cities of the North Atlantic States, that is, New England, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. These States have already considerably more than one-third of all the Northern Negroes and statistics show that from 1880 to 1900, this portion of the population increased one-third more rapidly than the white. The Negroes in Philadelphia increased in the ten years, between 1890 and 1900, from thirty-six to sixty-two thousand. The colored population in New York was 23,606 in 1890, but in 1900 it had risen to 60,666. oston's colored population grew more slowly, but it has grown steadily. In 1880 the Negroes of Cambridge and Boston were 7,377, but in 1900 this number had increased to 15,497. Under normal conditions I doubt whether the existence of 900,000 Negroes scattered over the whole Northern and Western country, and permanently settled on farms and in small towns, as they are to a very large degree in the South, would have attracted particular attention. But the fact is that the Negroes in the Northern States are, to a large extent, part of a floating population. While 82 per cent. of the Southern Negroes are on farms and plantations in country districts, more than 70 per cent. of the Northern Negroes are in cities. This Negro element in the floating population of the Northern cities has grown so rapidly in recent years and has to such an extent complicated the problem of city life, already difficult enough, that some persons have come to regard it as a distinct menace. City Life Unfavorable to Health and Morals. I have more than once said that the masses of the colored people are not yet fitted to survive and prosper in the great cities North and South, to which so many of them are crowding. The temptations are too great and the competition with the foreign population with which they come in contact is too severe. Many of these young colored men and women, who leave the country for the city go directly from the farms and plantations of the South, where they have been living on the same soil on which their fathers and mothers worked as slaves and under conditions not far removed from those that existed before emancipation. It is not difficult under these circumstances, to understand that the colored immigrants from the South are not able at once to adjust themselves to the crowded, strenuous and complicated life of these great modern cities. The vital statistics, which are perhaps the best indicators we have in this matter, sho what, of all races now pouring into the larger American cities from various parts of the world, the Negro is the least prepared to meet the conditions of city life. It should always be borne in mind that there is this difference between the Negro in the North and the average colored man living on plantations of the country districts in the South, that while he is ignorant he has not been degraded, as a rule, except in rare cases, by vicious habits. In the large cities of the North, it is true of a large element of Negroes, as it is true of a large element of the same class of any other races, that they have injured body and soul by degrading habits. There is a vast difference between pure ignorance and degradation. My own conviction is that this problem, like others which the presence of the Negro race in this land has created, must find its solution ultimately on the farms and plantations of the Southern States. So far as I can understand the disposition of the masses of my own people, they have determined to remain for all time upon the soil of the Southern States, where their future, in my opin- (Continued on page four.)

I took the magic mirror, and in deeps of night, Sweetheart! I fearsome ventured down the star; It was the gruesome hour for ghosts' and witches' flight And but one tiny taper did I bear. I felt the goblins—creeping after me; The shadows even seemed to mock and jeer— The air seemed full of creatures that I could not see— Sweetheart, I shuddttred just from very fear! Pale amber shone th eapples in their place; I was to eat one from the farthest bin, When in the mirror would appear a face— I hoped, Sweetheart, your face I'd see therein! I feared me so, some other face than yours to see, To work the charm I really did not dare; I dropped the magic mirror as I turned to flee. And with the goblins scurried up the stair. A HALLOWE-EN FROLIC. Of all the informal festivals of the year, none is so merry and unconstrained as Hallowe'en. Ascending to time-worthy and reliable legends, it is the night when fairies dance and witches ride and ghosts walk, and when all the mysterious powers of the air slip leap and work their own sweet will. It is the night, too, when charms read truly and future events are dimly shadowed forth. In olden times, these revelations were regarded as gospel truth; and even now, among the young people of the twentieth century, there is a kind of half-ashamed belief in the signs of wonders of Hallowe'en. The Salem authorities give us features as connected with the witchcraft delusion; the witch, the cat, broom, rope, the witch pins, and the new moon. In sending out invitations to a Halloween'en party, they can be delivered by a small boy dressed as a witch—the guests being requested to dress as witches or ghosts on the night of the frolic. The ghosts' dress in simply a sheet with an extra headpiece, all wear masks. The hostess and two assistants, dressed as ghosts, receive the guests, pinning a number to each one. When all are taken to the dimly-lighted drawing-room they are given pencils and cards and told to guess each other's identity, writing the names opposite the numbers on the cards. A half-hour is allowed for, and then the simple prizes are awarded to the two whose lists are most correct. Following this, the hostess, ghosts bring in trays, one holding brooms for the maids and one bats for the men. These little emblems are made from cardboard, and they show the names of famous people associated in history, or the heroes and heroines of well-known novels, when, of instance, Hamlet finds his Ghost, they are partners for the evening—Romeo seeks Juliet, Svengali finds Triby. Lawrence Selden. The Worlf. One test in regard to matrimony is solved in this way; three small bowls are placed on the table—the first one empty, the second filled with clear water, the third containing soapy water. Girls are blindfolded in turn and led to the table, with instructions to dip the left hand into one of the bowls. If the hand is dipped into clear water the maid will marry a bachelor; if into the soapy water, she will capture a widower, and if into the empty receptacle, she will remain a spinster all her life. Another table may contain a plate of apples, with knives ready to cut the magic paring, which, swung three times over the shoulder and dropped behind, will infallibly give the first letter of the name of one's future husband or wife. There should be a platter of flour, too, for the venturesome ones who are willing to plunge into it with mouths open, in the hope of finding the ring hidden there; and an apple hung from a string should not be forrotten. Before these tricks become tiresome an old witch should arrive on the scene; she must be hunchbacked and squeaky-voiced, and she should offer to tell fortunes if they cross her palms with silver. At this, the hostess' ghosts furnish each guest with silver money—circles cut from silvered paper—and as they generously fee her, she not only tells their fortunes from their palms, but from a huge basket which she carries, she bestows upon each a gift—an appropriate souvenir of the evening—for the maids there are photograph frames, cord balls, needle-books, etc. whilst the men are made glad with shaving balls, tobacco pouches, match and cigar cases, calendars and other dainty gifts. The hostess now opens the dining-room doors, saying: Follow, follow, follow me. If your true fate you would see. The other hostess' ghosts shoo the company after her into the dining-room, lit only by Jack-o-lanters and alcohol burning a blue flame in saucers. The table has for its centerpiece a huge yellow pumpkin, stuck full of yellow candles with yellow shades (see illustration.) The menu consists principally of nuts and fruits in various forms—for instance, nut croquettes with peas, Waldorf salad with nut wafers, vanilla ice cream, with a nut sauce; a mystery cake containing the time-honored ring, dime, thimble, etc. A quantity of English walnuts should have the meats removed, rhymes written on thin slips of paper inserted, and the halves glued together again. These, mixed with other nuts, should be passed to every guest. A few rhymes are given as a sample of what may be done by a clever girl: (. Take the third change and leave the other two. This haunted night shall bring them all in view. Get courage and follow her fast. It may be the luck of a moment. If success fly elusive before you. Shall bring you in winner at last. You have a kind heart, but your tem- per is quick, You have nimble heels, but your skull is quite thick. Your fortune shall be bright and gay For many a long and happy day. A little bird has told me What you would like to be, And Fate will grant the favor To you, most certainly. Long life and good looks Many friends, many books. Thy future has in store for thee A loving mate and children three. At the mystic hour of twelve, as a hush falls upon the merrymakers, two ghosts should come from out the darkness, bearing between them an effigy of a witch they throw upon the open fire to keep the evil spirits away for the coming year. Ghost stories, dancing and merry songs will close a happy evening frolic. A slight description of some of the prizes, etc., that are illustrated on these pages will perhaps be of assistance to the girl who wishes to adopt this idea of a Hallowe'en party. The autograph book has a yellow cardboard cover, five by six inches. It is intended as a record of the evening's fun, each guest writing some happy occurrence of the evening. The little candle shade is formed of four circles of yellow paper, in imitation of Jack-o'lanterns; faces are cut, and it is lined with tissue paper. Small brooms made from match sticks and yellow paper, are suspended from each of the four corners of the shades. The invitation is red card four by six inches, decorated with a witch and cat, abt and new moon. It is enclosed in a black paper case, tied with red ribbon and sealed with a small wafer bearings the head of a black cat. EVERY LADY READ THIS.

BREWER. 1k De ot yy Biba 1p See In discussing the tendencies and disposition of many of the foreign- ers, the American Negro is coming in for his own. The eminent Justice David J. Brewer, at the Missionary Association of the Triennial Council of the Congregational Church, which met in Cleveland, 0. this week, showed up the colored man to advan- tage. He spoke of some of the trivial things incident to the Negro’s nature, but denied that they were vicious or incendiary. They are not given to the violent political outbursts that have characterized others. “They aro here as citizens. What- ever temporary restrictions may be placed upon their approach to the bal- lot box, the time will come when all barriers will be broken down and they will enjoy everywhere the full rights of citizenship. “So we stand before the American people ‘and say, ‘Here is one-ninth of our population coming out from the ignorance and immorality of slavery. We are making its uplift our bust- ness.’ ” ‘The Freeman has insisted time and time again that it were the duty of great, strong men to stand out in the clear, to register boldly an unmistak- ably ‘against the civil wrongs of the nation as practiced against any peo- ple. Without this class of men, those enduring wrong can not have relief. That beautiful frame of mind so often eulogized will forever continue if the strong forces for civil righteousness will be found declaring for civil right- eousness for all, at all times. The disturbing political elements are born of the other conditions, when the classes must look to their own relief. The Negroes have not felt the neces- sity of self-relief, and, what's more, it is to be hoped that it will never be a necessity. These strong men, step- ping out on the broad platform, will save the day. And to think that in declaring themselves they are simply n accord with the laws, humanity and God before which trinity of forces un- ‘awful opposition should be mowed down as grass. The race needs more Brewers, more Wattersons, more For- akers. Indeed, it has many more— silent friends “who also serve” in keeping their fingers on the pulse of the situation, “minute men” as it were, ready in the deeper emergency. The colored people will take cour- age at the actions of the declared and undeclared friends and buoy up to a fuller sense of their own duties as Gitieans. HON. WILLIAM J. BRYAN. If we are to believe the latest news concerning the intentions of William J. Bryan as to the presidency, he will be in the running. The recent “heart to heart” talk with him down in Vir- ginia by prominent Democrats plainly indicated that Mr. Bryan had no in- tentions of “abdicating” in favor of Governor Johnson, of Minnesota, or any one else. In fact, Mr. Bryan has reason to be a little aggressive at this time. Not since his notable ap- pearance in the field of greater poli- ties has he been in such fighting trim. He has reduced his “weight” mate- rially by throwing off the fetich of free silver and other hindering causes as viewed by the more enlightened public. He has fairly met the re- quirements after years of training, and why not make the fight? ‘The supposed determination of Mr. Bryan to be the standard bearer of his party does not create the consterna- tion of the years ago when he was so barnacled with what was considered governmental fallacies. He in the years has seen the futility of clinging to his pet theories—the free and un- limited coinage of silver, government ownership of the railroads and lesser offending principles. Consequently it is reasonable to think that he views himself a more presentable Bryan than the same Bryan of former days. ‘The gradual putting aside his political handicaps was evidence that he had his eyes’on the mark of the “high calling.” In view of the changes of Mr. Bryan jon the greater public questions, and also in view of his conceded great popularity heretofore, even when ad- vocating “pernicious” political doc- trines, it is no wonder that Democ- racy is resting quicter under his lead- ‘ership. It is felt that his avowed reg- ularity along the lines of leading pub- lie questions, together with his known popularity, is in the interest of Demo- cratic success in 1908. The name Bryan is a tower of strength. But it may be that it is a name already too long toyed with, forbidding. the ad- herence of additional strength. It will be reckoned with when and wher- ever Bryan has to do or say, but it is extremely doubtful if the public can rise to the supreme occasion of trusting him with the management of its affairs, Mr. Bran seems to be in right at this time on the greater questions of today; he has been in wrong, which he himself has acknowledged by his change of front. He also concedes that the Republican party is carrying out the present policies of his party, leaving him with occupation gone. Mr. Bryan has grown on all men since his late candidacy. He has won ad- miration generally as a_ brilliant, forceful leader, and as one of the re- markable men of the day. Should the ‘sun of his political hopes go down, he will have little just cause for regre-— he will have to take the intent for the deed. Millions have worked and prayed for his success; the facts ought to be some consolation.

Armor plate for housetops—to protect against balloons.—From a journal in 1920. The Women's Baptist Educational Convention of Kentucky, recently in session at Richmond, Ky., was apprised of a gift of $5,000 from the General Educational Board of New York. An Indiana doctor gives it out that indulging in cocktails under certain circumstances is a bad habit, and that it leads to apoplexy. Many men won't mind trying them just to see if there is any truth in the statement. The chances are that Mr. Bryan will not remain a great while in love with his States rights theory. The States are not clamoring for more rights. The little friction noted now and then is likely to happen in the best regulated governments. A battle in midsky between aerial Dreadnaughts promises to be an interesting happening of the future—the feathers will fly. Will the onlooker applaud a sinking sail? O, moves! O, arbitration! before the fateful day and the rest of it. Putting up tipping guests as assets or gambling stakes is a new wrinkle. Yet it was the practice of waiters in a certain restaurant. This kind of thing ought to go big in Europe, where the tipping system is recognized by all, and where a man is no man unless he tips—the guest is a cinch. Secretary of the Navy W. H. Taft doubtless feels that he has undone the kink in the Filipino affairs. He was over to see the new legislative bodies that were granted start out to do business by up-to-date methods. They gave him a loving cup, presumably as an evidence of their—well, what? Mr. Brunaugh has very badly be muddled the affairs of the Western Construction Company. He obtained a small amount of sway—not very much, but just enough to keep him absent for a while. The grand jury promises investigation among a bunch of fellows more or less prominent. Mr. Wulfson, inspector of weights and measures to the city of Indianapolis, took in one Edward Sweat, a colored dealer on market, for selling him a three-peck basket of tomatoes for a bushel. Mr. Sweat's baskets presumably are containers and not bushel baskets at all. It is the plea the others are setting up when taken in by the wizard of the scales and measures. Mr. Wulfson believes in rendering good and faithful services; if there's nothing doing, just turn something up. He also believes in being a witness to the fact, and on this unimpeachable evidence the "pinched" has to set up novel defense. Such weather! The Fall poet might get busy and reel off something to our delectation. By the way, the Fall poet has never been very much in evidence. It is the Spring that brings forth a generous crop. And yet the Fall should be a poet's theme rather than the Spring. It is then that we have the days that are reminders of the sad days to come. And the poet as he is best known loves to picture the gloomy and dismal. We do have poets, too, that tell us of Mother Ceres and her daughter, of the great bare earth that is to be, and other things of the kind; but it seems in this that dreariness as it pertains to the seasons is not such an inviting theme. When the sun shoots capricorn, and bolts for the equator, then the poet appears to be at his best. Leafless trees and howling winds do not make good impressions even on poets. President Roosevelt's speech at Nashville was crowded full of good things. He talked a streak, but was good to hear. He spoke in an earnest vain, as if he had an object in expressing himself so forcibly. It is thought that he was answering his accusers in New York, who charged him with the responsibility of the unrest noted in financial affairs in that city. He again asserted his position as it concerns dishonest methods of amassing wealth. He expressed himself as abundantly in favor of the honest toiler whether rich or poor. His Indianapolis speech was again uttered in part, insisting that the people are to be protected against great corporations that exploited their companies in behalf of the very few. Such meth- ods furnished examples for the young men, and which means disturbances sooner or later that will not make for the safety of the government. The President was generously applauded throughout his speech, and has every assurance from the demonstrations to believe that he is with the great majority. The M. E. Church is another example of a great Christian body that takes cognizance of the egroes. It is as the Episcopal Church—goes as far as it dares in breaking the bread of life to all tongues and "tribes" on this terrestrial ball." This sense of reservation has in mind the status of our civilization; it is not prepared for many things, but from what has been done the situation bids fair to improve. The great churchmen of the country are deeply concerned, and should be, since the question will bear on the future of religion, not in America only, but in the world. Somehow all nations must be made to feel that they are cordially invited to the fold. "From Greenland's icy mountains to India's coral strand," as sensed by the beautiful hymn sang recently in Richmond, and presumably after the conference had done the best to be done under the situation. We insist again that great praise is due the Episcopal Church, the M. E. Church, or what soever church where the leading forces are struggling to make it as Christ would have it be. Public attention is now turned to the waterways and forest preservation. President Roosevelt, in dealing with those subjects on his recent Southern trip, struck a popular chord. The thoughtful see the necessity of holding in check the destruction of forests and the necessity of reforesting sections already devastated. The call to those matters after years of strenuous politics is assuring to the people. The internal improvement of the country is a very restful theme; all join here in the effort to make the republic great through manifestation of its great natural resources. VicePresident Fairbanks has also spoken of the scheme of redeeming those vast arid regions of the West by irrigation and the improvement of waterways for the transmission of the traffic of the great Middle and further West. He feels that the railroads have received attention at the expense of these great natural channels that appear a part of the first great thought in planning the world for the uses of man. All are at one over these vast projects, and ere long the Mississippi basin, wherein now are those great waste of waters, will multiply in industrial concerns; the mercantile heart of the nation will shift westward, and, for the better, those streams that now are idling their way will bear on their bosoms the commerce of the Western plains and the rich trophies of agricultural fields where irrigation will wrest from slough the victory. The Episcopal Church conference at Richmond, Va. did as much as it could consistently do. We have said before that a church thought apart from those that go to make it up is not very much to think about. Yet it is possible that the word church and the meaning church do have some influence on individuals. It at least modifies their immediate actions, and we may say to some extent influences the life of men. This has in mind the great Negro problem which has arisen in that church and which without doubt is influenced from without. That is to say, that as the general race question becomes more or less an issue in the general nation, it will accordingly arise and fall in the churches where Negroes are a part. If all were well between the races the compromises noted would be deservedly censured as an effort to make distinction in religious affairs, drawing on the life of Christ and His mission to prove the inconsistency, and thus in a measure arraigning a scheme that was not broad enough to embrace mankind. And should it be done, what other religious scheme of civilization promises much more? The Episcopal Church has been as liberal as the present age permits it to be. It can not work very great temporal reforms of itself. And because prejudice is so general, discrimination so prevalent, it is not to be especially indicted, notwithstanding it fails to enter into the cordial and full brotherhood of man. The bishops and the managing influences of that church for the most part were as nearly ideal as they could have been. Whatever might have been their private wishes, there was a vast constituency not differing from that of other churches; this was to be served. THE NEGRO IN POLITICS A graphic political history of the Negro in the United States has been presented in an engraving just issued, entitled "Colored Congressmen." Alabama sent three colored men to Congress. Florida sent one, Georgia one, Mississippi sent two to the Senate and one to the House of Representatives, Louisiana and Virginia sent one each, North Carolina sent four, and South Carolina heads the list by sending eight. This engraving contains excellent portraits of these twenty-two representatives of the race, the date of their service and the Congress in which they served. It is sold by the Colored American Novelty Company, of Washington, D. C., and is not only unique and attractive in appearance, but shows graphically the political status of the Negro. IT MAY BE OTHERWISE. Exit Taft, Brownsville and Southern disfranchisement. Exit Uncle Joe Cannon and his Greensboro speech. Exit Fairbanks and his sparkling cocktails. Next? How presidential bubbles burst!—The Star of Zion. With all of these exits, pray tell who will the Star of Zion debuf? As to Mr. Fairbanks, we in Indiana know nothing to prejudice his interests. The Star of Zion evidently means to start a rough house along political lines. Perhaps all of these individuals have not existed, and it may be that the time will come when that paper will have a splendid opportunity to support some of the aforesaid. In spite of the distaste of the race for Mr. Taft, he certainly has following somewhere. The straw votes noticed so far youngances like for The lauded every ons to at ma exam- that It is far sad of on this reser- have been favorable to him. As to Mr. Fairbanks, he is conceded to be a cool, cautious man, whose qualities are greatly regarded. It may be that the Star of Zion may have the pleasure of talking him up. Then there's that lovable old Uncle Joe Cannon, the pet of the nation, a wise, witty, active individual who would not look bad in the presidential chair. It is not beyond question that the Star of Zion may have a word to say for him. These men are not so easily brushed aside; some one has abiding faith in them, and unless crow is relished it might be well to let the convention set on their cases. locating in a city that has been planned with a forethought to every advantage—the railroad, the schoolhouse, the church, and every other known convenience to modern cities. The town is beautifully platted, streets regularly laid out, the object being to make a model city. The colored people are especially solicited to become purchasers of these beautiful high ground lots. The election of Mr. Faver as County Commissioner assures the kind of people that make up the community. The town is growing rapidly. The value of the lots will great- A USEFUL CLUB The Woman's Improvement Club, of Indianapolis, has done a commendable work in finding a way for the employment of one hundred and sixty girls this summer and fall. At the time the club was looking about, the Van Camp Packing Company had under contemplation the erection of a new building. A committee of ladies waited on Mr. Van Camp, asking him to give the colored girls and women of the city opportunity to work. The proposition was new to him; he did not take kindly to it at first, but after considering the matter consented to use one hundred and fifty of them if the services of so many could be secured. After systematic effort by advertisement and other methods the needed number was secured, and accordingly went to work when the canning season was on. Mr. Van Camp expressed himself as greatly pleased with the work, and from all indications the colored girls and women will be employed in the future. Great credit is due these women for their effort in behalf of those of their kind, who are so disassociated from others in most respects. In fact, we need very few clubs merely as ornaments. The times bespeak the purely ornamental as the result of freakish judgments. They should exist in the main for the purpose of elevating in one way or the other. The fact that this club did so well in the particular instance is indicative of what it can vet do, and also indicative of what others may do. It behoves the men to get a move on them and cite some establishments for our floating boy population of Indiana avenue and other streets. Many are employed, but most of them in a trifling way. The girls' and women's earnings at Van Camp's ranged from $1 to $1.50 per day. This was not trifling employment. A young woman could be of untold value to her home at such wages. And more, she would be if the opportunity was always hers to make so much. The boys can do work something of the kind: they ought to have it. It would help in many ways. It would kill off the dudish tendency—the dressing up through the week days without money in the pockets. Idleness is mischief, one may well say. Our youth will not be nearly so good, so regular, so sensible as others whose minds are at ease from the ability to meet the ordinary acquirements of life. Perhaps in looking about there may be more Van Camps. Indeed, there should be many of them—many men who are willing to give Negro boys a chance as other boys have a chance. Guthrie, Okla, September 23, 1907 G. L. Knox, Indianapolis, Ind.; Dear Sir—I am much pleased to know that you have bought some lots on College Heights addition here at the Capital City of the new State, and I am quite sure that with the coming of statehood, together with the streetaving and other municipal improvements, that you will double your money within a short time. This town and county furnishes a splendid opportunity for colored people to make money. I am naturally interested in the people of my own race. The colored people as a rule are a success in getting their homes, especially in Guthrie and Logan county. I came here in September, 1901, with less than $200. I got a farm of 160 acres under the homestead laws and have it yet. I have bought seven farms of 160 acres each and paid for them. I will also state that at this time I own seven fine pieces of property in Guthrie, and am getting good rent for each of them. I own a cotton gin and have a store that is worth $3,000 in cash. I am growing 200 acres of cotton this year. We held our first State election on the 17th day of this month, and I am sorry to say that the Democrats elected their State officers. You will know that the Negro gets a square deal on election day in Oklahoma when I tell you that I was elected a member of the Board of County, Commissioners at our first State election by a majority of 700 votes in this county. I want to say in conclusion that you made no mistake in buying your property on College Heights addition. It is a fine piece of land for town site purposes, and I hope to see the colored people from both the North and the South buy a home there. The next time that you come to the Capital City, I want to be sure and see you. Yours truly. S. J. FAVER. COLLEGE HEIGHTS We take pleasure in presenting the foregoing letter from the pen of Mr. Faver, who, as he says, was elected County Commissioner in Logan County, in which is situated the city of Guthrie. Long since we have set forth the glories of the section over which hangs the sun as if it were its perpetual abiding place. The section is ideal from the standpoint of climate. Radiating from Guthrie and College Heights in every direction are great stretches of land whose fertility is natural, owing to the ages of decaying vegetation, and now prime for the uses of man. We mention the agricultural prospects because that community, like all beginning communities, is dependent at first on the fields. The hunger of man is first to be staunched; the stomach once cared for, man is ready to turn his attention to the arts and sciences. Guthrie has long since passed the experimental stage; it has moved up, and with it the prospects of College Heights have gone up, since it adjoins Guthrie and partakes of the same benefits. College Heights is especially recommended to those that have in mind locating in a city that has been planned with a forethought to every advantage—the railroad, the schoolhouse, the church, and every other known convenience to modern cities. The town is beautifully platted, streets regularly laid out, the object being to make a model city. The colored people are especially solicited to become purchasers of these beautiful high ground lots. The election of Mr. Faver as County Commissioner assures the kind of people that make up the community. The town is growing rapidly. The value of the lots will greatly increase in a short while. Those having money for which they have no immediate use would do well to invest here. You can't lose. Very little per cent. is paid in the bank—4 per cent. at the most. Lots in College Heights now valued at $150 and $200 are expected to be worth not less than $200 and $250 respectively a year hence. Bear in mind that Guthrie and College Heights are not boom towns. Guthrie has more than 30,000 people—solid citizens. Men of means are there; they have reared up banks and substantial business places. The vicinity is new; it means plenty of work for the colored man, the woman. With these very great inducements such as are not known elsewhere, College Heights will soon be known far and wide. The colored people will have matters very much in their own hands if they will act quickly. And they should act quickly, taking advantage of the very favorable opportunity. Such men as Booker T. Washington and George L. Knox have been on the ground. They speak very commendingly of the efforts of the managers to help colored people get homes. The ground is high and level; you run no risk in buying cranberry swamps according to their statements. Select your lot from the plat with the assurance that it is high and dry. Now is the time to purchase. Full information can be had by addressing Mr. George L. Knox, Freeman office, Shiel Block, Indianapolis, Ind. THE NEGRO IN THE NORTH ((Continued from first page.) ion, is inextricably bound up with the prosperity of the soil. I do not believe that any large proportion of the Negro people intend to remain permanently outside of the South, and I doubt very much if any laborer will be found to supplant permanently the Negro in the Southern cotton field. The problem of the Northern Negro will, to a very large extent, find its solution in the efforts now being made by the United States Department of Agriculture to improve the character and quality of Negro farmers; in the efforts no wbeing made to increase the number and efficiency of country schools; in the growing disposition among the better class of white people to secure justice for the Negro and protect him against hectoring and abuse to which he is so often subjected, and finally in the encouragement the Negro is receiving in certain parts of the South to buy land, to build houses and permanently settle on the soil. The security of the South against danger of race riots and evils that cause them demands that every man, white and black, should, as far as possible, own a home; a hearthstone around which the interests of the family can find a center; a permanent place of abode on which the wholesome influences of family life can find a prop. I believe that those who are seeking a solution of the problem of the Northern Negro will find that they can cooperate in this direction with the more thoughtful class of the Southern people who find that the South is being slowly drained of the labor it needs in the fields and in the trades by migration Northward. I have spoken thus far of that part of the population which has but lately arrived in the North. It presents the element of unrest among the Negroes in the South. While a large number of these people have left the South upon a definite promise of higher wages or better treatment, a greater number are mere social drift, drawn into the cities with the tide that sets to the large centers of population from all over the United States. While I do not deny that there are some advantages for the Negro in the North which he does not have in the South, there are also disadvantages. There are the advantages of better schools and better teachers. The Negro has, for example, the opportunity of using the public library, of entering the colleges and universities. The Northern cities are farther advanced, on the whole, in their methods of dealing with the problem of city life. The Northern people are not haunted by the fear of social equality and are therefore able to take hold in a more practical way of the problem of uplifting backward races. The Northern cities are richer and more able to provide special education to meet the special needs of special classes of the population. Difficulties in Finding Labor. But on the whole I am convinced that the condition of the great masses of Negroes in the Northern cities is not only worse than that of the Negroes on the farm in the South, but worse than that of any other part of the city population. The statistics show that the death rate is much higher among Negroes in the North than it is among the whites and this greater death rate is, no doubt, the result, not of one, but a number of influences which, in the Northern cities, work to the detriment of the race. The Negro has greater difficulty there in finding satisfactory employment. Lareg numbers of Negro laborers are induced to leave the South to meet the emergencies of Northern industry. They were brought to Chicago to help dig the Chicago drainage canal. They were imported to New York to work on the building of the Subway. The labor unions, to whose interest it is to limit the supply of labor, have never been favorable to the employment of Negroes. The fact that Negroes are frequently brought North as "strike breakers" helps to intensify the prejudice COAL BEST and CHEAPEST AT THE ECLIPSE COAL CO. Phones 989. "Nuf Sed."

Old Main 397; New 41 9 against them. The tendency of all this is to force the Negro down to the lowest rung of the industrial ladder and to make him, in short, a sort of an industrial pariah. ut in spite of these difficulties the facts show that a considerable number of exceptional colored men, spurred on by contact and competition with the swift and thrifty race about them, have made their way and been successful. The number of successful business and professional men is probably larger in proportion to the Negro population in the North than it is in the South. Many of these have become men of influence in the communities in which they live and have worked quietly and steadily in their professions and in other directions for the benefit and building up of the Negro people. Greater Opportunities in the South. But the Northern Negro who makes a success in business or in a profession must, in most instances, live beside and work for a people who have no special need of his talents. At best he can but perform for them a service that can be performed as well, if not better, by some one lse. In the South, on the contrary, a Negro professional or business man has an opportunity to work for his own people who need his services, and will respect and honor him for his work. Land is still cheap in the South. Negroes are better able there than in the North to buy and own their own homes, to build their own communities where they can have their own churches, schools, banks and other places of business, and where the masses of the people are not placed in such direct competition with a race centuries ahead of them in habits, instincts and education. In these communities the masses of the people are nabled to grow and normally, and the ducated Negro, the preacher, physician, teacher and business man has an opportunity in directing and controlling the development of his own people, to assist in building up his race and his country, and to gain for himself the honor and gratitude with which the world everywhere rewards real service. But there is another disadvantage under which the Northern Negro labors which, while it is not so obvious, is none the less real. He is, in relation to the lives and interests of the masses of the Negro races, in a certain sense, an exile condemned to witness from a distance their struggles to rise, but not able to give them effectual aid. Very often it happens that the Northern Negro knows little or nothing, except what he can learn from the newspapers of the actual condition under which the majority of the Negro population live. He hears much about crime and violence and sees nothing of the deeper constructive forces which are working quietly in the minds and hearts of Southern people, black and white. His protest against what he regards as the wrongs committed against the members of his race in the South are often inspired by impatience and contempt for the Southern Negro themselves who, so far as he can see, are willing patient to so suffer. The result has been that while Northern and Southern white people have been steadily coming closer together upon the race question, the Northern and Southern Negro seem to be steadily growing farther apart. There is a radical group among the Northern Negroes, just as there is a radical section among Southern whites, who insist on making the racial question a political and sectional issue. They are seeking to solve the problem of the race by keeping the North and the South apart and preventing the co-operation of both sections and both races in the task of reconstruction. My own opinion is that this policy is not only hopeless but mistaken. What the ultimatimate effect of any systematic effort to intensify the situational and racial antagonisms that already exist might I dare not say, some persons have suggested that it would result in making the Negroes the permanent wards of the several States of the United States. I do not believe that either the white people or the white people of the South are yet prepared to accept this solution. On the contrary I believe that the races that have lived and worked together for 250 years in slavery will be able, in spite of difficulties, to solve easily in unarmed Suar. The Negro has too long been a battledore and shuttlecock of political parties. What the South at the present time needs most is racial and sectional peace. What the Negro wants is justice, protection and encouragement to put forth his best efforts in fruitful and productive labor for his own welfare and that of the country as a whole. This is not a sectional but a national issue. A NEW STORE OPENED Misses Bessie & Essie Cox will be found at 430 Indiana avenue. Millinery, Fancy Dressmaking, work now on. Cuts, seams, and untrimmed.

The company is doing its usual business, playing to packed houses nightly. The show is giving excellent satisfaction everywhere. Madam Patti easily sustains her reputation of being the greatest singer of her race. Her three numbers in the olio are enthusiastically received. "Good Night, Marie," in which she is assisted by the male sextet, was written especially for the madam by Whitney and Tutt. In the operatic finale she sings "I Dreamed I Dwelt in Marble Halls," "The Wound Upon Thine Arm" and the interpolated number of the sextet from "Lucra," all of which are highly appreciated. Tutt "Whitney" as Prince Bungaboo has the audience screaming from rise till fall of the curtain. He is most ably assisted by his brother, Homer Tutt, who enacts the difficult role of clever grafter. Emma D. Baynard makes a dashing "Lady of Quality." "Sir Enery Nervine," as played by Will Cook, is one of the comedy hits of the show. King and Bailey, eccentric singers and dancers, are enthusiastically received. No feature of the show is more highly commended than the Great English and his clever manipulation of hoops. Queen Dora, terpsichorean artist, with scintillating electrical effects, continues to dazzle the audiences. Andy Pellebon, the New Orleans Honeysuckle, is delivering the goods.

Boone, Marie Bell, Ella Jones, Irene Gaines and Ruby Taylor. R. Voeckel, our genial manager, is all smiles over the artistic success of the Troubadours this season.

No S. R. O. signs out, but have been able to remit each week, and the ghost never fails to perambulate, for I'm the ghost.

Mr. Washington has met eminent success. He has given us a school patterned after the needs of a people as he saw it; his success was the best evidence of an unerring judgment. It is to be hoped that he will succeed in securing the additional million and a half dollars needed. DEATH OF TOM PRYOR. Louisville.

The real limelight is often denied those who seek it most assiduously. * * * * Temptation finds a hungry man an easy mark. * * * * It is a great thing to have a distinguished father, but it is more to be something yourself. * * * * Keep our troubles, as well as your signal victories to yourself, if you would be an attractive companion. * * * * At Boston, a "corporal's guard" of the Niagara Movement straggled up the hill—and then straggled down again. * * * * A prominent man is never lacking in "kinfolk" who are ready to make their alleged relationship known to the world. Education that quickens nothing into real value is worth little to its possessor or to the race to which he belongs. * * * It is to be hoped that the successors of "P. S. Twister" will make a more strenuous effort to get things "straight." * * * It is only after a man is able to live in a brick house that he boasts of being self-made and admits that he was born in a log-cabin. * * * J. Edward Green, the Chicago "impressario," producer and all-around manager, is earning the title of "the Afro-American Belasco." * * * The knack of doing things counts for more in the final analysis than a bushel of diplomas that tell of what you ought to be able to do. It won't be the fault of Mr. Aaron P. Prioleau if South Carolina does not furnish a Negro member for the 60th Congress of the United States. * * * The world is not lying awake of nights to read two columns of the speech that you have persuaded somebody to allow you to work off on some helpless audience. * * * Ira T. Bryant is a layman whose life, character and wholesome influence would fit him to grace the ministry of any denomination in the land. Good deeds are the best sermons. * * * The National Negro Business League accounts as religiously for every penny collected, as does the United States Treasury. That's the way to do business on a confidence-ing basis. Don't get the idea that the fellow is doing the most who talks the most about his "herculean labors." Keep your eye on the hustler who simply hustles and keeps his business to himself. * * * * Now that Watter Wellman has "flunked" on the dash to the pole in an airship, it would seem that the game is up to Ernest Hogan, who at least has the airship, if not the nerve. * * * * Fame is a widely-diversified term. A correspondent, who watches the suotlight closely, says the two greatest Afro-Americans of the hour are Booker T. Washington and Joe Gans. Delegates to a religious or fraternal convention may, with eminent propriety, do many things as individuals which would be highly improper for them to do as an organization. Let us understand the difference. Visitors who made nuisances of themselves this summer will not be invited back again next summer—or at any other time. It is truly a gift to know how to make one's self a welcome guest. * * * If you haven't been to the James-town Exposition, you had better go now. The show is at its best these months, and the wonderful display of Negro progress in every walk of life is well worth the small outlay the trip will call for. * * * The waiting of the political brethren because of Dr. E. C. Morris' refusal to permit the National Baptist Convention to be used as a political machine, indicates that the Arkansas leadr "drew blood" from every pore of his misguided opponents. Near the head of the procession of "undesirable citizens," should be placed the race leader who, by some hook or crook, secures an abode in a strictly white neighborhood, and bores everybody by eternally bragging that his is "the only Negro family on the street." * * * There are still folks who insist upon writing it "Mrs. Bishop" Brown, "Mrs. Dr." Smith* and "Mrs. Prof." Jones, but would draw the笔 at the equally permissible "Mrs. Expressman" Wilkins or "Mrs. Janitor" Johnson. Quit it! * * * Emmett J. Scott might have better luck than Mr. Loeb with the job of bearing the president's burdens. Mr. Scott has as many knotty problems to solve as the Rooseveltian Boswell, but is tactful enough not to get blamed for things that fail to go right with the plans of the Tuskegee Wizard. Coffeyville, Kansas, has a "Vernon Park," named in honor of the popular Register of the United States Treasury. It is owned and conducted by J. A. Dawson and Samuel Brown, colored men of push and energy, and the venture is a highly successful one. Dr. Vernon is one prophet who is honored abundantly in his own country. * * * A church paid for by Negro washersmen and day laborers, but built by white brick-masons, carpenters and plasterers, under the supervision of a white contractor, does not make the bosom of the race swell with the pride that might be permissible if the work had been done by the skilled heads *** * * * and hands of our own people. Watch this, ye brethren of the cloth! * * * The best authorities concede that the A. M. E. Zion church will elect at least four Bishops at Philadelphia next May. With Bishops Hood, Lomax, and Harris, of the present bench, in poor health, the connection has but five really efficient workers in service, and to elect fewer than four new men would be to leave the reserve force of that great church far below the safety point. According to the Washington Bee, the interlopers" from other cities are getting a "strangle-hold" on the activities in the District of Columbia, to the exclusion of the "old citizens," and a strenuous plea is made for "home rue" by editor Chase. If the hustling interloper is getting the habit of "grasping everything in sight," as Brer Chase intimates, it seems to us there is nothing for the said "old cits" to do but to get a move on themselves. The festive outsider is always "on the job," and the "real citizens" must get up early in the morning to get ahead of him. Ex-Recorder Henry Plummer Cheatham made a great speech a few days ago at he Henderson Normal and Industrial Institute, Henderson, N. C., the occasion being the dedication of the Fulton Dormitory for Girls, a large and handsome structure. President J. A. Colton thinks there is nobody on earth like Congressman Cheat, and the splendid address delivered by the magnanimous "Ttar Heel" statesman amply bore out all the good things Dr. Colton and his fellow-citizens have said of the thoughtful Sage of Littleton. Thomas C. Hammond, principle musician of the 10th Cavalry Band, United States Army, now in the Philippines, is one of the most accomplished musicians of which the Negro race can boast. He plays saso B-flat cornet and first violin, and has frequently led the band in the absence of the Chief musician, and has successfully conducted the rehearsals of the men for long periods, living up to the requirements of the position in every respect. Another Hammond—William H.—formerly connected with the 49th U. S. Volunteer Regiment, Spanish-American War—is a band learer at the Western University, Quindarulo, Kans., by appointment of President W. T. Vernon. You can't "lose" the Negro musician of this day and generation. Dr. Booker T. Washington never addressed a more sympathetic or more enthusiastic audience than the 8,000 people who crowded into Convention Hall to greet him at Washington during the sitting of the National Baptist Convention. His speech, which was unanimously pronounced "the effort of his fervent" manes—according to the tenor of his remarks, and criticisms, as well as compliments, were accepted in the spirit offered. The "Wizard" was in his happiest mood, and made a host of new friends by the "sweet reasonableness" of his argument, and the logical force and race loyalty back of every thought advanced. The eloquent Tuskegeean has certainly "won a home" in the city of Washington. A recent issue of the Baltimore American contained an interview with Mr. S. R. Stevens, a prominent member of the Washington bar, in which a high compliment was paid to Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia. Judge Terrell is the only colored man in the country holding a judicial office by direct presidential appointment, and that he wears the ermine gracefully and efficiently is conceded by all who have had business in the court over which he so satisfactorily presides. The Judge's Harvard "sheepskin" has not placed him out of touch with the mass of the people. VARICOCELE CURED IN 10 DAYS TO STAY CURED. No Cutt ng. No Dain. No Detention from Business.

One day I picked up a paper and the first thing that met my eyes was a torturing image of me. I concluded to try it and let the doctor go, and I did so. After taking two bottles I could dress myself.

Derrick's visit to the State Department last week, just before sailing for South Africa, was eminently satisfactory from every point of view. In the absence of Secretary Root, Assistant Secretary Bacon listened to the prelate's able presentation of the relation of the A. M. E. church to the international situation on the gold coast. It is the opinion that the British government will no longer interpose any obstacles in the way of the development of the work of the A. M. E. church on her African soil when Bishop Derrick lays the case before the Foreign Office at Cape Town. It is an open secret that the complications heretofore existing between the church and Great Britain render it almost necessary that the new bishop for the African field be one in whom the Government can repose absolute confidence, and over whose actions it can exert a more direct influence than would be possible were the incumbent a full-fledged American citizen. This means that it will be to the advantage of the church to-elect as bishop a man entirely acceptable to the British Foreign Office, preferably a British citizen. It is understood by those 'on the inside' that the name of Rev. J. Albert Johnson, who was born under the British flag, has been mentioned to the authorities in this connection, and that the tentative agreement that he be chosen as the official head of the church in South Africa, met with a hearty acquiescence at their hands. If reports are true, Bishop Derrick will carry back to Cape Town an assurance that the man selected will tally with all the requirements of international comity, which makes the election of Dr. Johnson practically certain, not only because of his intellectual fitness, but because the politico-ecclesiastical situation in South Africa demands a British head for this branch of the A. M. E. Church, if any hope of success is to be entertained. It now looks as if a bishop for the West African work may also be chosen, in which event it is thought that Rev. W. H. Heard, formerly United States minister to Liberia, will be the lucky man. The A. M. E. Zion connection is also in the throes of a quadrennial overhauling of its official staff. Its General Conference meets next May in Philadelphia, coincident with the meeting of the A. M. E. General Conference at Norfolk. The bishopric issue is in a peculiar condition, and there is a wide diversity of opinion as to the number that should be selected to subserve the highest interests of the body as a whole. The pleaders for "a Greater Zion" advocate the election of six, arguing that with an abundance of seasoned leaders the church can move its outposts from the ragged edges of the North, East and Middle West, dot the border States almost as thickly with thriving churches as the Southland, where Zion's hold is strongest, and advance the picket line far toward the Pacific slope—virgin soil to all colored Methodist evangelization. They say that under the leadership of two vigorous Western bishops, like Drs. W. H. Chambers and J. B.Colbert, this new El Dorado would blossom as the rose, and that within the fewest of years the territory would be self-sustaining and prove a bulwark of strength to the general connection. It is pointed out that the election of six bishops would not be an extravagance—it would be an investment that would yield golden returns in the shape of new churches, an enlarged membership, broader educational opportunities for the young people, and an increased influence where Christianity needs the sturdiest championship Not only is the renovation of the Episcopate urged from the territorial standpoint, but as a necessity that cannot much longer await attention. Today there are but eight bishops to a constituency of nearly 600,000 souls. Three of these—Hood, Harris and Lomax—are practically unfit by age and ill-health for the pressing duties of their office, and the real work thus devolves upon five men—Walters Clinton, Alstork, Smith and Caldwell, who must cover as well as they can the territory allotted to ten at the last General Conference. If ten were needed four years ago, surely no fewer are needed now, say the progressive Zionites, arguing that the church must have moved forward somewhat in membership during the quadrennium. If, to be conservative, at least five are elected next May, the connection would then have but ten active prelates, when there is ample work for twelve, if the work is done properly. Sad as the subject may be, the cautious ones are making an allowance for the passing of three of their superintendents within the next four years, and think the number elected should be based largely upon that expectation. If five are elected—making thirteen in all—the loss of three would reduce the number to its original status—ten. To make assurance doubly sure, the progressives still insist that six would not be too many to consecrate at Philadelphia in May. There is a host of applicants for the Episcopal toga, and the selection of a competent bench ought not to be a difficult task from so rich a field. Besides Drs. Chambers and Colbert, who are the acknowledged choice of the Great West, nearly every State Conference offers one or more candidates. Among them might be men- tioned Drs. G. L. Blackwell, M. R. Franklin and B. F. Wheeler (who seem to lead for the general church), and in the field are Drs. R. S. Rives, A. J. Warner, William Sutton, C. D. Hazel, S. L. Gorrothers and a host of "dark horses." After all is said and done, the election of four is assured, but there is a feeling that safety would suggest that the number be increased to six: Dr. W. H. Davenport's advocacy of a minimum membership on the bench and an increase of salary is entitled to respectful consideration, but the fact that so many are willing to accept the honor at the present compensation is pretty sure to militate against any raise from those $2,000 limit. The proposition to allow the bishops at strategic points, like New York, Philadelphia and Washington, an allowance for the entertainment of visiting brethren is a very reasonable provision, and is apt to go through without notable objection. The editorship of the Star of Zion lies between Dr. G. C. Clement, the present inumbent, and Dr. J. H. Anderson, his leading rival at St. Louis four years ago. F. M. Jacobs for general secretary, E. D. W. Jones for missionary secretary, W. H. Coffey for the church extension, S. G. Atkins for secretary of education, W. L. Lee for financial secretary, Drs. Moreland, McMillan, Bruce, Mason, Dancy and Goler for their present positions, with Mrs. Mary E. Washington for the presidency of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society, seem to be the favorite combination; yet some of these may "slip up" in the warm tussle that is imminent. We beg to acknowledge the receipt of an invitation from Dr. and Mrs. Booker T. Washington to attend the marriage of their daughter, Portia Marshall, to Mr. William Sidney Pittman on the evening of Thursday, the 31st of October, at Tuskegee, Ala. Editor Nahim Daniel Brascher, of the Cleveland Journal, has our sympathy in the critical illness of his father, at whose bedside in Connerville, Ind., he is attending. We have to thank the Georgia Baptist, the Lodge Journal and Guide, the Newport News Star, Topeka Plaindealer, Danville Torchil, Mosaic Guide, Western Enterprise and Hope's Exposition Bulletin for adding us to their "professional list." We shall appreciate all exchanges sent to us at 1348 Wallach Place N. W., Washington, D. C. Secretary Taft is gaining ground with the conservative element of our people, and his kind reception by the Filipinos at Manila is a concrete evidence that he knows how to treat dark folks with fairness and due consideration. Taft is a splendid antidote, to the awful impression of American supremacy left by the late but unlabeled Luke Wright. For famdoolishness, crass impudence and downright imbecility, the American, published by somebody by the name of Edward Beckham at 831 Bainbridge street, Philadelphia, is the limit." The American purports to be the organ of the "half-whitefs" of America—or, more particularly, the "national organ of the mulattoes, quadroons and" octoorons, and of the Philadelphia colony of half-whitefs." It claims that it is founded to call together, unite, organize, direct, uniform, guide, guard, protect the 2,000.000 half-whitefs now in America." As an appeal to the meanest kind of race prejudice it is dangerous, anarchistic and subversive of the peace between the whites and blacks, and of the unity that must exist between the various tins within the Negro race. The curse of enforced amaligation is bad enough, but the incendiary utterances of this man Beckham are calculated to make matters worse if they are given general circulation. There is no call for "an American race" founded on tints within tints, and the mulattoes, quadroons and octoorons must make common cause with their darker brothers and sisters or fail in the battle for better racial conditions. The good people of Philadelphia should look up this man Beckman and suppress his vile screed as a precautionary step against the creation of a mague spot in the heart of a progressive nation.

THOMPSON'S REVIEW THOMPSON'S REVIEW (Continued from first page.) that has developed in the Pacific States, superinduced by their troubles with the Chinese, Japanese, Hindus, and other tinted foreigners. It is said that the policy of the Democrats to abolish the Negro regiments will be met by a solid opposition on the part of the colored leaders, whether they be of the administration party or not. The claim that the War Department is not borne out by the recent action of Secretary Taft in promoting a colored chaplain to the rank of major, or in the statement of Assistant Secretary Oliver that the Negro soldier is better, if anything, than the average white one. He declared that among the colored soldiers there are fewer desertions, more re-enlistments and better discipline than among the men of the white regiments. Discussing the subject with some warmth, Gen. Oliver added: "I take no stock in the talk that the Negro soldier is a cause of trouble. If ordinary treatment is given the colored soldiers, such as is accorded the whites—no more, no less—I am sure there will be no disorder anywhere the colored regiments may be stationed. I sometimes wonder that they behave as well as they do, under certain circumstances." In this Acting Secretary Oliver but voices the conviction of Secretary Taft and other officers in control of the army. With their hearty support, the action of the Heflin crowd will avail nothing, and the colored regiments will remain. Congress will never consent to their disbandment. * * * * At the regular fall meeting of the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, in Pittsburg, among the 126 awards for extraordinary bravery one medal and an honorarium of $500 was awarded to John B. Hill, a colored man, of Atlanta, Ga., who saved several persons from death in a runaway accident some months ago. This is the first time since the creation of the commission and the hero fund that a medal and money have been allotted to a Negro. The Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, who is scheduled to preach a number of special sermons in the near future in various churches in Washington, is perfecting arrangements for the opening of the $100,000 Cosmopolitan Baptist Temple on January 1. The program will be announced shortly. Dr. Drew has secured the services of Prof. Wellington A. Adams, an experienced musician, as chorister for his church, and a chorus of 100 voices is being organized for the rendition of Handel's masterful "Halleujah Chorus" from "The Messiah," on New Year's Day. There will be thirty-spearans, twenty-five altos, twenty tenors and twenty-five bassos. The first meeting for registration was held Thursday evening at the Cadets' Armory, on O street, between Seventh and Eighth streets, and those who wish to take advantage of this rare opportunity to study high-class music should send their names at once to the Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, 2014 Eighth street N. W.

The primary purpose, aside from the devotional unlift of the people, of Dr. Drew's present activity is to raise $25,000 to pay for the great improvements to be made on the Cosmopolitan Baptist Temple. A large portion of this amount has already been subscribed, and the energetic pastor is hopeful that the full month's rally in January will enable him to pay off the obligations now being incurred in making the Cosmopolitan Temple monumental in character and worthy of the national capital. It is his idea to establish here a much-needed tabernacle, seating upwards of 5,000 people, and have an auditorium available for the great gatherings of the denomination such as was recently held here in an inadequate building, and suitable for commencements, fraternity conventions, or for the many mass meetings held for the moral and material welfare of our people. The plans for this splendid structure have been drawn by the well-known architectural firm of John A. Lankford & Co., and have been accepted by the Board of Trustees. It is hoped by the conservative element of the colored citizens of Washington that the bitter controversies now raging in the colored public schools can be adjusted satisfactorily without bringing the charges and counter-charges to the attention of Congress. It is felt by the friends of both factions that the constant appearance of the Negro schools in the "trouble zone" is not helping the cause of education, nor sustaining the claim of the race that it is capable of self-government. Can not Messrs. Chase and Bruce settle their difficulties by the modern plan of arbitration rather than resort to the old-fashioned and often mutually damaging processes of war?
