Atlanta—Leading negroes of the city declared that the salvation of people depends as much upon the strict enforcement of the vagrancy laws as upon anything else. All declared that loafers and idlers should be made to go to work or be sent to the chain gang, where they will have to work. They are the criminals, aloud, and by making war upon them much criminality can be checked its incitability. Many of those interviewed, though they wish to do away with vagrancy, believe that indiscriminate arrests may work harm instead of good. These stress the fact that to the negro Decatur street is just as much of a natural gathering place after working hours as is Whitehall or Peachtree for the white people. For this reason, they say, many hard working negroes may be arrested charged with loafing when they are in reality enjoying relaxation after a hard day's work. Laws Against Criminal. Rev. P. James Bryant, pastor of the Wheat Street Baptist church, colored, which has a membership of nearly four thousand, said: "In her grapple with the vagrancy question at this time, Atlanta is dealing with one of the most vital questions affecting our community well-being. And she is to be congratulated upon the determined, and yet practical, business-like and, indeed, of procedural nature. As long as this course is to be addressed and indiscriminate arrests prevented, the crowds will prove a benediction to the business enterprises, the individuals themselves and their families who are dependent upon them for a support. "As a rule, a loafer is dangerous and criminal. He who will not work may steal. At best, if he is poor and fails to work he is a menace to the mother, wife, sister or other person. If not, then he depends upon his wits for a living. "I think that if the vargant law is enforced impartially much of the crime of the city will be reduced, for men who are busy have very little time and less inclination to break the law. Every able-bodied man ought to be employed, and if he will not work when a reasonable wage is offered his ought to be filled with a man who "we have nothing to hope for from the worthless, wandering Willies. Our hope for the future is built upon the men and women whose industry and thrift, whose sacrifices and prayers have been responsible for the progress already made. But on the other hand, the employer can do much to help the situation by showing that he is deeply interested in the worker, as well as in what he does. Kindness and sympathy must be wringing about a just solution than mere brining. Rev. H. H. Proctor, pastor of the First Congregational church, colored, spoke at length: "I am in sympathy with the movement to put every loafer in the city, be he white or black, to work. I referred to this in an emphatic manner in my sermon last Sunday night, and as far as I can discover there is not a loafer on the roils of our church book. To work is one of the fundamental requirements of our church discipline. We believe with Paul that he that does not work should not eat. To carry out these principles in our city regulations would rid the city not only of loafers but also of criminia. "We have in our church an employment bureau, and the demand (or labor is greater than we can supply. I was called to the country last week, and saw the cotton falling in the fields. Parmarne are sending their automobiles to the towns to bring cotton pick out; and they sued them back home night. Notwithstanding this demand for agricultural and domestic labor we are many idlers in the city. If they will not work they should be made to work. They must be led, clothed and sheltered. If they not earn this somebody must. Those should become producers are merely consumers. To consume without producing, to one is able to do so, is sheer criminality. A patient entered a dentist's office the other day, and after showing a swollen cheek for admittance to the chair, was told that the tooth was "very bad," and that the nerve would be removed, says the Philadelphia Times. The operation finished, the stranger placed his hat firmly on his head,毅然 drew on his gloves and requested that the account be charged. After he was gone the dentist turn "But in the enforcement of the law against vagrancy there should be exercised much discrimination. Judge Broyles did this in releasing the large number brought before him yesterday. Decatur street and the surrounding territory is the resort section for certain elements of the colored people. Many who go there are hard-working people. They are there for a little recreation. To snatch up indiscriminately such persons would be to injure the very movement we all desire to succeed. The colored people, like other whites, have time and places for recreation. We should be better facilities in our city for their recreation, so that their leisure hours would be a benefit to them rather than a detriment. But when the pool rooms and dives are raided where can the hard-working people who go there for a let-up resort? "To meet this situation our church has added to its facilities institutional features with gymnasium, bath, library, reading room, rest room, etc. Our colored Young Men's Christian Association is doing something with its messer facilities. But this is but a drop in the bucket. The 60,000 colored people in the church are messer facilities. A public library, with a reading room, would catch a good many, for the colored people are reading more and more. A social settlement maintained by the city, such as that suggested by Mr. Cary of the park board would reach and help many more. In such a settlement there would be music, games, baths, etc. Such a place would be an investment that would do much to solve the problem now. There are people who would not mind only workers, but better ones, more prompt, reliable and efficient." Bishop H. M. Turner of the African Methodist Episcopal church thinks that the labor problem will be solved when all are at work. "Though I think that there is such a thing as going to far, still the idle population, both black and white, should be made to either work or stop loaning on the land," he says. "It is not a problem who will be solved in a day, neither is it so serious as most people imagine. The average man is willing to work at something, but when idle influences are thrown, round him, it is but natural that he should be human to succumb. The question is more that of education than of force. Educate the children, and when they grow into men and women they will be useful factors in a community instead of a business." "We have many institutions doing all in their power to educate the older as well as the younger members of our race, but there is still room for many more. When the race is educated it will then become useful." PRESIDENT SAYS NEGRO-EDUCATOR IS ONE OF THE GREATEST MEN OF THE CENTURY, WHITE OR BLACK. Los Angeles, Cal.-President Taft spent a day in insurgent southern California, and received a hearty welcome. It was entirely a non-partisan reception, Senator Works and Gov. Hill Johnson of the insurgent wing of the Republic party accompanying Mr. Taft on all his travels. The president's principal address here was on the subject of vetoes and the tariff board. "The tariff board," said the president, "is made up of highly honorable men. They would scorn to change their views for any political coalideration." Mr. Taft was constantly on the go from early morning until midnight, when he retired at the home of his sister, Mrs. W. A. Edwards, in this city. Mr. Taft spoke on the arbitration treaties at a banquet given by the chamber of commerce. The president addressed a meeting of negroes, where he declared that he thought Booker T. Washington "one of the greatest man of this and the last century, white or black," he added, because he has the courage to tell you the truth and to tell you the one way by which you can earn your place in the community and render it better and higher." WORTH THE DIFFERENCE. Mme Pavlova, the beautiful Russian dancer, was the subject of discussion at a recent tea at the Colony club in New York. "Pavlova can take care of herself, said an actress.

"This rich woman called on Pavlova and asked her if she'd dance at a dinner at her house on Riverside drive. Pavlova said she would—for $1,600." "But it'd that rather high" said the lady. "No, madam,' said Paviova. 'I couldn't think of dancing for you for less.' "Come,' said the other, 'make it twelve hundred! Do!' "No," said Pavlova firmly; "no, my price is fifteen hundred." "Very well, then; so be it." "And the lady, with a resigned air, rose and drew her sables about her; but at the door she turned and said: 'Of course, you know, I shan't expect you to mingle with my guests.'

EMPLOYEES IN SUPERVISING ARCHITECT'S OFFICE SLATED TO GO NOVEMBER 30 WILL BE RETAINED, THANKS TO SECRETARY MAGVEAGH—CABINET OFFICIAL ISSUES ORDER. Washington.—A number of colored employee of the supervising/architect's office, which is under the treasury department, had a cause to feel grateful to Secretary MacVeagh of the treasury department for not being dropped from the pay roll. Because of a reported insufficient appropriation, a number of employees of the treasury department had draughtsman and superintendents of construction, were notified of their dismissal on November 30. Those marked for decapitation included all of the colored draughtsmen, three in number, and all the colored superintendents of construction, two in number, and two or three messengers. The including of all the colored high grade employees of the architect's office in the list of those to be dismissed, on the face, appeared to the colored people like a policy of elimination of colored employees from that bureau, and it has always been suspected that the colored employees, no matter how efficient, was person non grata in that office. However, when the eagle eye of Secretary MacVeagh scanned the list and found all the colored employees included to be dismissed, "for lack of appropriation," he gave instructions that none of the colored employees should be dismissed. Secretary MacVeagh order not one of those colored men who had been picked to go, but it has been most pleasing to colored men throughout the country who have always sized up Secretary MacVeagh as one cabinet officer who will not stand for color discrimination in his department. Incidentally it might be mentioned that Secretary MacVegh has more negroes employed in his department at high salaries than any other department of the government service, and early in his administration he announced that there would not be any less while he was secretary. The fact is there are now more under him than there were when he made this statement, Emmett J. Scott, Chas. Cottrell, internal revenue collector at Honolulu, and Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback have new places under Mr. McVegh KNOCKING THE HEAD TRICK. Do you desire me, ladies, to teach you my secret for making impromptu verses? It is to rub your forehead well, not with the hand as Horace did of old, but by giving your head some good sound blows against the wall. Then proceed to knock your head three or four times against a door and put your hand to your forehead as if to deaden the pain produced by the violence of the blows. But you must do something more than merely touch the door with your head. At the same moment that you make the movements as if knocking yourself, you ward off the blow by the aid of the left hand held to the door about the spot which you appear to stare, the clouded light hand makes from the audience, attaches on the other side of the door. The correspondence of the movements of the head with the noise of the blows given by the clinched flat produces a perfect illusion on the minds of the spectators. NEAR-SIGHTED "Good morning. Mrs. Simpkins, said a suburban lady who is very short-sighted. Your husband must be very fond of gardening. I see him the first thing every morning down at the bottom of the garden. And how well he looks, to be sure!" Mrs. Simpkins slammed the door in her neighbor's face. The latter went to tell her daughter. "And you said, mother, that the the thing in the onion bed was her husband." "I told." "Ah well, that explains the matter! What you took for Mr. Simpkins is a scarletwine!"—Tj-Bita.

New York.—Was it Jack Johnson's pompous ways in England and the flashiness the colored champion displayed with his white wife that caused such a reversal of feeling in the land of King George against the man who defeated Jim Jeffries? Heretofore England has been a paradise for colored boxers, for in that country the black man has been given almost as much consideration as his white opponent; in fact, some of the blacks have been made a great deal of. Colored boxers always liked to visit England, because they were placed almost on an equality with the Briton Jack Johnson has suddenly changed this order of things. It is given out pretty well that the man who defeated Johnson was to box Bombardier Wells that caused the great outcry, although it had considerable to do with it, but simply the forward methods adopted by the champion and putting himself on too high a pedestal to suit even the mild-tempered Britons. According to a letter recently received from a close follower of the situation in London, Johnson is "in bad" with the sporting fraternity over there. Johnson's manners, which gained him so much almosity in America, a feeling that was never held toward such men as Peter Jackson, George Dixon, Joe Gans and other colored boxes, have evidently caused a similar feeling in England. This is all the more remarkable in view of the fact that colored boxes have heretofere been treated with almost as much courtesy as white boxes. As spite of the many cases, Johnson would never have been as unpopular in America as he is now if were not for his actions outside of the ring since he won the championship. Johnson has drawn upon himself more animosity by his actions in public life than he did when he defeated a big favorite in the ring at Reno. NO TAINTED MONEY FOR HIM Congressman Lafferty of Oregon, who has gained notoriety as a letter writer and who was described the other day by a fellow representative as "a young man who spoke himself into congress and who has written himself into oblivion." in Washinton hotel every morning. Mr. Lafferty has introduced a new custom which is of great interest to the waiters. He is always served with a finger bowl at the end of his meals, but he does not use it for the purpose of rinsing the tips of his fingers. He waits until his check has been paid and the waiter returns with the change. He then selects whatever coin is to be given as a tip and hands it to the man with the apron. After that he takes the remaining coins, carefully washes them in the finger bowl, dries them on his napkin and puts them in his pocket. Mr. Laferty's friends say that he never did take any tainted money and never will. He won't stand for germs. BHE WOULDN'T OVERWORK. She had the reputation of being a good servant, the employment agent said, but a terrible stickler for her rights, says the New York Sun. Work that she considered a part of her legitimate duties she did well; work that properly belonged to somebody else she wouldn't do at all. "And quite right," said the new employer. "There will be no imposition in our house. Nobody's duties will overlap." So she hired the girl. At the end of their first day together the maid was instructed to mount the step-ladder and wind the tail 14-day clock. "You have to turn the key 14 times to wind it clear up," said the mistress. "Once for each day the clock runs." The maid turned the key seven times and dropped down. "Why didn't you finish?" her mistress asked. "Because," said the girl, "I am not sure | shall be here longer than one week, and I am not going to do the next girl's work." THAT BOY. The mother heard a great commotion as of cyclones mixed up with battering rams, and she hurried upstairs to discover what was the matter. There she found Tommie sitting in the middle of the floor with a broad smile on his face.

INFLUENTIAL SOUTHERN PAPER ON RACE PROBLEM WHITES SHOULD "TOTE" SQUARE SAYS NOW ORLEANS ITEM. The item, New Orleans, recently had the following strong editorial regarding the rights of colored Americans. The item says: "We state unqualifiedly that there is every reason why, in decency, justice, humanity and good public policy, the better white people of this section should accord even handed justice and proper consideration to the self-reflecting building element of our negro population. "In the first place, the man who assumes a cruel attitude toward another human being stultifies himself. In the next place the man who does another a wrong or injustice unnecessarily discourages and embatters that person. "There is such a thing as noblesse oblige in this world—a carrying out of a wrong or injustice vanantage of race, color, birth or breeding owes it to himself to treat others with kindness and consideration. "The misconceptions of reconstruction times have passed away. The negroes know their place in society. The white people know that there is no possibility of any attempt being made on the part of the sure element of the negro race to seek social equality or to strive for political power through the ballot. The negroes have been distranchised. They have no say in the government of the country to which they pay taxes and are fighting them is like shooting at same birds. Making an issue of them in politics is demagogism pure and simple. "The reason is that this is fair and right, and strong men, just men, chivalrous men, stand for these things in all cases and under all circumstances." "The negroes are a valuable industrial element in the south. They create a large part of our wealth. They do a great deal of the work. It is idle and fatuous to argue the abstraction whether we would be better off if they were not here. They are here—a condition, not a theory. "They will be here while the rest of us live, an element for good or for evil. Fair treatment of them, humane treatment, will certainly not make them worse as a race or more difficult as a problem, nor will it hurt them who recognize the comparative help provided to them. In addition, each of them shall be treated in accordance with the merits of his established character and personal behavior." NEGRO LAWYERS ORGANIZE FIFTY LAWYERS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE UNITED STATES FORM ORGANIZATION. Little Rock, Ark. — The organization of a National Negro Bar association was one of the features of the National Negro Business league meeting. There were present 50 lawyers from all parts of the country, who took part in the organization. J. T. Settle of Memphis called the meeting to order, and the organization met, so many lawyers present, men who were making their way by looking after the interest of their people. The organization was perfected by electing the following officers: J. T. Settle, Memphis, president; J. Madison Vance, New Orleans, vice-president; P. W. Howard, Jackson, Miss. secretary; W. T. Andrews, Sumter, C. treasurer; J. Madison Vance, B. Booth, Lafayette, W. Illiams, W. T. Andrews, members of committee on constitution. L. J. Winston of Greenville, Miss., who is perhaps one of the oldest negro lawyers in the south, as well as most successful, addressed the association. He said he thought it was a step forward for the negro lawyers to get together in a great organization to meet each year with the Business league. Winston is attorney for the Negro Masons in Mississippi and several other organizations. F. W. Howard, who is attorney for the Calante in Mississippi, the women's auxiliary of the negro Pythiana, also spoke. Mr. Howard represents the successful young negro lawyers.

Little body loves a body Then that body knows, Though divided "this affection" sums up the grief Worthy love it can't expire Which that body knows. Little body seems so lonely, Yet nobody knows; He's the happiest living body, While he covers of wood. Though he has defied his darling As he daily mows. Life is sweet to little body, He's a hustling bard; Ever humming "always trying To prevent rotand"; While he would round him grumbles And proclaim his hard. Little body wonders daily, Why did envious fate; Who unkindly made division Twist himself and mate; Brightly painted and bliss contentment To a lonely state. So ambitious, full of music, Little body tries. THE SHADOW OF BEAUTY. I know you are not fair; no thousand ships Moved forth to search you in a foreign land; Nor did a hero bow to kiss your hand, Nor gods come down to touch your honey Yet looking on you all my being slips Dreaming away from its accustomed bands Until it unknown worlds it naked stands stands And by untrrodden deeps the life drink alpine. A thousand shadows gird you; all I know Or ever dreamed lingers in your deep eyes. Over the waters haunted breezes blow. Hear you the music? . . . the slow day. I only feel a joy that never dies And mists of dreams forgone long ago CHILDLESS Last night, when slow the mooncass shadowed a creep, and firmly wrapped upon my coach I slept. A vision came to me—a dream so fair that I could see it all. I was so I held upon my breast a little child who, trusting me, looked in my eyes The little body, soft and sweet and warm, I closely pressed to mine to shield from The dark ringed head upon my shoulder pressed And soft the dimpled hand my cheek While dainty garments made with love and care The team-child on my bosom seemed to Wear I bless the vision, for it made me glad. The vision of the war. —Ruth Coughnall, Henry. A SONG OF HELOISE Go send these peace, ah, great, unhappy heart— A world away I pray that thou mayt Softly as on the Well-beloved's breast Whenever in her wishful dreams thou art At dawn, my prayer is for all the for, as My every heart and, oh, at night my tears. For me, walk alone the empty years Nor meet methany any sun—neath any moon. Vet must my love go with thee—all apart From this the life I lend to lesser Go send to thee this night beneath its wings A little peace, oh, great. unhappy heart, A woodcockia Garrison in Almshoe's Magna- grace. When I see you waiting there Not a smile not a tear, Not a tremor, not a calm Gain to judge, bold to dare, With those eyes that piece the gloom Like a silent northern doom . When I see you, then my heart Leaps to live, falls to break, Learns to live, pleads to take, In his anguish, dwells apart— Touch me with those silent eyes! Lift me into Paradise! -Scribner's. --- Women Win Seven of Twelve On Nominating Committee Action May Result in the General Association, County Superintendents And High School Teachers Separating.
