THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. "ALL THINGS COME TO THEM THAT WAIT. PROVIDING THEY HUSTLE WHILE THEY WAIT."—Charles W. Anderson. "GET OUT OF OUR SUNSEINE."—R. H. Royd LET THE PARTY SPLIT; ROOSEVELT TO SENATORS If It Has to Be, He Wants the Biggest Fragment. SEES TRUSTS AT WORK Thinks They Are Behind the Senate's Agitation Over Brownville, and Is Ready for the Issue. Special to New York Times. Washington, Jan. 19.—The Republican situation is far worse to-day than it was yesterday, and the Senate leaders to-night know that they are in the worst box of their lives. The President and the Democrats have got them in a corner and are squeezing them against the wall. To-day the leaders, while not abandoning their efforts to pry the Democrats off, concentrated their main efforts on the President. Every conceivable sort of pressure was resorted to. They did their utmost to get him to join with them and send out word to his followers that he would like to have them vote against the Blackburn resolution. Failing that they pleaded with him to say one word, drop the faintest hint that he was indifferent, did not care which way it came out, so that they could use that with the insurgent Republicans. As a result of their efforts the President sent out word to his followers directly contrary to what they asked. No more pitiable and ridiculous spectacle has been seen here for a long time. A few days ago these Senators were doing their best to stabe the President in the back. They were egging Foraker on in his Brownsville resolution and almost openly declaring their intention to "put the President in a hole." Not only that, but they were working on a scheme to 'show him up in his true light before the country' by introducing a resolution censuring him for Executive usurpation and then making speeches reviewing his public acts. Now to-day they are abjectly coming before him on their stomachs, beseeching him to save them from being "shown up before the country" as his enemies, and to do it by stultifying himself and declaring against a resolution drawn in his own interest—the very resolution in all essentials which his friend Lodge introduced in his behalf and was induced to abandon. The worst of it is that, like the negro who rolled over in the dust at the foot of a preacher whom he supposed to be Whitfield, but who was not, they "rolled their selves in the dirt for nuffin'." The President, who on all previous occasions has responded to the call of party regularity, simply enjoys the spectacle they are making of themselves and refuses to be moved. His view is that this oligarchy has rendered him lip-service and given him stabs in the back for years. Now, through Blackburn's resolution, the tables are turned. He has them down for once, and why should he take his hands off? That, in a paragraph, is the President's opinion of the situation. Nothing in years has so aroused him as this Brownsville business. His utterances about how he would stand impeachment before he would rescind his order show how thoroughly worked up he is. But there is more behind his attitude than has been published, and here is what it is: He thinks that the corporate interests on whom he has waged war are behind the Brownsville business. He thinks they dare not attack him on the question of prosecuting the trusts, and therefore they are endeavoring to destroy his popularity by inciting their Senatorial spokesmen to attack him over the shoulders of the negroes. It is not the race question, but the trust question over which the Brownsville battle is being waged. Yesterday the President was not nearly so emphatic in his attitude concerning the Blackburn resolution as he is to-day. To-day he told his supporters and his concealed enemies when they came to the White House that he thought it desirable that a test of strength should come between his friends and foes. A fight, he told them, had been made against him by the Republicans ever since he took office, and he had never fought back to the extent of a show-down. Now the time had come and the question might as well be settled. The President does not favor any resolution which will be satisfactory to the Republican leaders "who have been against him on corporation questions, and who would now wrest control from him to take the party back to its old affiliations." He is thoroughly disgusted, not only with his Republican enemies, but with those half-hearted Republican friends of his who have not the nerve to take his side. He said Lodge was the only one of the leaders who had backbone enough to stand up for him. The Senate oligarchs tried to get at him first through Senator Lodge, his friend, and that failing, several of them went to see him themselves. Every other argument failing, they trotted a bogy which never before failed to bring the President into line—the bogy which made him quit his Democratic allies on the Rate bill at the last moment. This bogy is the split-in-the-party bogy. The President has always been morbidly sensitive to the charge that he was splitting the party or was within measurable distance of doing it. To fire that argument at him is to hit his weakest point. To-day he listened to the argument with an numovable grin. He told his Senatorial suppliants that if the party had to be split he would prefer that as big a fragment as possible should be found on the affirmative side of the Blackburn resolution. Furthermore, the President took every means in his power to see that his wish about that big fragment should be realized. He sent for his friends and told them just what he thought and wanted. They are full of enthusiasm and determination. Most of them are rank-and-file republicans, who have never had so much as a look-in at the conclaves of the Senate oligarchy, and for once they feel that their time has come. For years they have looked up to the Sanhedrim with awe and reverence and taken off their hats when they passed the door of Aldrich's committee room. Now they see these world compellers running around in circles and begging the President to save them from the situation they have created out of animosity to him, and all the awe and mystery is gone. The Democrats also display unwonted grit. Usually all that is necessary to make the Democrats back out of an impregnable position is for Aldrich or somebody to come over on the Democratic side and say: "Come, now, be good; what's the use of being mean?" This time that and everything else has been tried in vain. Tillman stays out of camp, and Teller and Carmack refuse to tell how they will vote, but Stone is in line and all the other Democrats are immovable. The Democrats have counted noses, and say that they will have a majority for the President. They do not assert that they have it now, though they have nearly the required number, but the five or six necessary votes they count on getting from those who do not dare fight the oligarchy unless sure that the President will approve, and that there is a chance of victory. Lodge, after two interviews with the President, went not only committed to the Blackburn resolution, but prepared to take the lead of the Republican insurgents. He burned his bridges behind him, quit his fellows in the machine, and hoisted the insurgent flag. He got right to work counting noses, and is confident that there will be enough Republican votes to pass the Blackburn resolution. He counts at least fourteen. He and the President are so confident of victory that they expect to see the Aldrich crowd abandon the fight and let the resolution pass unanimously. Knox and Spooner, nominal friends of the President, are unhappy. Knox said yesterday that the Blackburn resolution was irrelevant. He is against it, in spite of the President. Spooner won't commit himself, and the President's friends are predicting that he will ultimately swing into line with Lodge. Beveridge, having heard that the Aldrich crowd predicted that he would back in line by Monday, went to the White House to-day and assured the President that he wouldn't. He said he would stick to the last. Hopkins of Illinois and Piles of Washington are reported in the insurgent camp tonight. Aldrich and Crane both went out of town to-day, but Aldrich kept in constant telegraphic and telephonic communication and was kept advised of all that happened. Both will be back to-morrow. DR. GREGG DID NOT APPEAR. Pursuant to Call Mass Meeting Assemblies in St. John A. M. E. Church—Much Interest Shown in Coming National Endeavor League. A representative body assembled at St. John A. M. E. Church Wednesday night to attend a mass meeting called to perfect arrangements for the entertainment of the National Allen Endeavor League which convenes in this city in July. Dr. E. J. Gregg, of Jacksonville, Fla., the secretary of that department in the African Methodist Church, was expected, but owing to unavoidable hindrances could not be present. The meeting was called to order by Dr. Boone, pastor of the St. Paul A. M. E. Church, who read Romans 12th chapter and offered prayer. The choir sang "Nearer by God to thee." Rev. I. H. Welch, D. D., Presiding Elder of the Nashville District, was elected chairman. D. A. Hart, President of the local league, was elected secretary. The President called on Dr. Haigler to give to the meeting the information he had concerning the meeting to be held in July. He stated that he was in full possessions of all particulars, but that the handbook contained no laws governing national meetings, but by common consent it was agreed to be governed by the information in hand. The representatives from the various churches were called for. The following named churches were represented: St. Paul, Salem, Payne Chapel and Ebenezer. It was moved that one or more be appointed from each charge. Carried. Rev. Boone was elected from St. Paul; St. John, D. A. Hart, I. H. Kelly; Payne Chapel, Mrs. M. J. Marshall; Ebenezer, Dr. Nathan Smith; Salem, Mrs. Martha Turner, Mrs. Ellen Stratton. Committee reported progress and asked for time. Moved that the Committee have time to report. Carried. time to report. Moved that the third Wednesday night in February be the date for the committee's reports. Moved that the mass meeting reassemble at St. Paul. Carried. After the meeting adjourned all were invited to the basement where refreshments were served. WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE ON ROOSEVELT. "Roosevelt is no braver than many another man, who has fallen in the struggle against Mammon. But he has moral vision. . . . A broader education than any man has brought to the White House since Jefferson's day, a life unstained by vice of any kind, a clean mind, and a boyish heart, simple, confiding, just, have combined to keep Theodore Rocsevelt's faith in God and his belief in the common honesty of the common man unseared." Thus writes William Allen White in his "Roosevelt: A Force for Righteousness," in the February McClure's. Successful contemporary portraiture is so rare an achievement that an article like this of Mr. White's merits unusual attention. Throughout he displays the sureness of touch and soundness of intuition that have distinguished his earlier work; some of his passages indeed, seem inspired, so brilliantly do they hit it off. What, for instance, could be better than this: "A middle-aged, middle-sized figure, struggling against pudginess, simple, boyish, direct; impulsive for the right and intolerant of wrong; human to the core, with his blind side for his friends and his sleepless eyes for his enemies—a group of gentlemen for whom he never has to blush a happy mixture of the cheerful idiot, the seer of visions, and the captain and crew of the "Nancy Brigg"—a man who does the undisputed thing in such a buoyant way!" Mr. White's analysis of Roosevelt's career, and "the tremendous effect of his precepts and his consistent example," is handled in this writer's most brilliant and able manner. WOMAN'S DAY HOME CLUB. The Woman's Day Home Club met in continued meeting Wednesday, Jan. 23, at 3 o'clock in the office of the home, 620 Fourth avenue, South. The President, Mrs. J. C. Napier, proceeded with the business. The Treasurer and Secretary reported. Mrs. W. O. Ttate, Treasurer, made the financial report to the Club, which was received with much pleasure. Mrs. A. B. Carter, the Secretary, followed with her report, telling of the prosperity of the Club in the wise council of the women associated together, and predicted that it had come to stay. We have no selfish motives in the movement. We only intend to help our race. Let the mothers who have small children in the neighborhood of the home send them or bring them to us. We are hopeful of our beginning. We only ask the help of our friends in the work. Dr. J. E. Wells made the report of the kindergarten work, which is progressing. The young ladies she visited in connection with the work gladly agreed to give for the benefit of the Home a concert on Monday night, Feb. 4. Donations of anything that you can afford to give we will thankfully receive. Mrs. T. B. Scott, the First Vice President, made the report of the condition of the Home, which was encouraging. After the reports were made and received, the visitors were introduced as follows: Mrs. Preston Taylor, Mrs. Jas. Scruggs and Mrs. Boger. Each expressed herself as being well pleased with the work, and gave us a donation. The election of officers was next in order. There were no changes as all the members were satisfied with the way the present officers had conducted the business. Mrs. J. C. Napier, who was elected President, said: "Ladies, I am proud to say I am thankful that my work with you has been satisfactory and that we have done so well. It is my desire that the Club will succeed this year and that the public may be benefited by our efforts in gathering the children from the streets, protecting them from harm, elevating them above crime, and helping the mother who has to leave them alone and go out to make a living for them. It is the desire of the club that all who know of parents or children that need its benefit shall report the facts to some member so that the case may receive the attention it desires. We are, at present, prepared to care for several children. Again thanking you for your confidence." The other officers elected for the year were Mrs. I. B. Scott, First Vice President; Mrs. J. B. Bosley, Second Vice President; Mrs. Emma Battle, Third Vice President; Mrs. James Bond, Chaplain; Mrs. W. O. Tate, Treasurer; Mrs. A. B. Carter, Secretary; Dr. J. E. Wells, Physician in Charge. Respectfully submitted, MRS. A. B. CARTER. DR. HARVEY JOHNSON SUES THE B. AND O. R'Y CO. The Afro-American Ledger, of Baltimore, Md., under date of Jan. 19, 1907, contained the following: "Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson, pastor of Union Baptist Church, through his attorney, Mr. W. Ashbie Hawkins, has entered suit in the Circuit Court claiming $1,000 from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for alleged unlawful ejection from a car on August 15th last. Dr. Johnson took a car at Camden Station for Harpers Ferry to attend the meeting of the Niagara Movement, and was ordered to go in the Jim Crow compartment. He refused to do so, and was ejected. "Under the interpretation made by the Court of Appeals in the Hart case, interstate passengers are not affected by the Maryland separate car law." Dr. Johnson has been to Nashville. His son was at one time an employee of the National Baptist Publishing Board. DIVORCE SUIT. The divorce suit of Mrs. Nellie Williams against Clarence Williams, which has been pending in the Chancery Court for some time, was settled in favor of Mrs. Williams. The court decreed for her absolute divorce. PRINCE HERMAN. As the days grow longer the crowds grow larger at Prince Herrman's entertainments. Among his patrons during last week were Lawyer and Mrs. J. C. Napier, Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., LL. D.; Mrs. Bishop Tyree and daughters, Mrs. Bishop Phillips and daughter, Rev. E. W. D. Isaac, D. D., H. T. Noel, M. D., and wife, Lawyer R. L. Mayfield, Rev. T. J. Townsend, B. D., Mrs. W. S. Ellington, Dr. E. B. Jefferson, the dental Surgeon, Dr. R. F. Boyd, of Boyd Hospital fame; C. N. Langston and wife, Rev. Wm. Craft, Field Secretary Nat. B. Y. P. U., and L. W. D. Isaac, Jr., of the Clarion. It is no longer necessary to say, "Go to see Prince Herrman," for everybody has acquired the habit. It is, however, timely that we should say, "Go early," unless you wish to stand. The engagements for next week are at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Monday night, Jan. 28; Sylvan street Baptist Church, Tuesday night, Jan. 29; Fifteenth Avenue Baptist Church, Wednesday and Friday nights, Jan. 30th and March 1; Braden Chapel M. E Church, Thursday night, Jan. 31. "NAMELESS CRIME" BY WHITE ASSAILANT. On Little Georgia Wheeler, Age Eleven Years. SAM SWANSON (White) Sam Swanson, Who Raped a Little Eleven-year-old Colored Girl, Out on $1,000 Bond. Another white man has been arrested, charged with the dastardly crime of criminally assaulting an innocent eleven-year old Negro girl. Angry and determined Negroes have been seen on the streets all day Thursday and Friday, and at one time during Thursday evening crowds were very determined to find the assailant. This is the third case that has been reported to the authorities within the past five or six months, which does not mean that more have not been committed. It appears now to be very dangerous for a Negro girl to be alone, when white brutes are in the vicinity, and none ever punished for their crime. Sam Swanson, a ruffian, in the image of a man, who had a wife, is the villain charged with the crime. It appears that the child-victim, little Georgia Wheeler, eleven years old, was employed at the boarding house. No. 147 Fourth avenue, North, to do the light chores, and at this same place, her assailant and his wife boarded. "Little Georgia," as she is generally called, reported to her father the act of her "moral murderer," and her father at once reported the "nameless crime of the brute" to the officers. Swanson was at once arrested and taken before Justice Dodd, where it appears he is allowed to go almost scot-free, as his bond was fixed at only one thousand dollars. Such an outrage upon the children of any people is enough to make strong men much less angels weep. The question has been asked, How long will the officers of the law and the guardians of the sacred sanctity of homes countenance these shameful crimes on the part of brutes in the guise of men. A man has been turned loose who dares to step too far. There are some scoundrels who are not satisfied with the assaulting of our women, but are now turning their attention toward the cradle—they will take our babes to satisfy their lust. O God of justice, how long will the authorities wink at such nefarious crime by allowing such villains out on bond—and bond that signifies nothing? Mr. George Wheeler, the father of the child, and his friends, will see if there is justice to be had and if crime will be punished, when committed by one who chances to be of the proud Anglo-Saxon race. It is a noticeable fact that when a white man assaults a Negro woman, or when he even is charged with taking the babes from the cradle, he seems to get but little notice from the reporters of the daily papers and those who are supposed to hand out justice. The Banner and the American could scarcely find a place small enough in their papers to report the arrest. This is what appeared in the American Friday: "Sam Swanson, a carpenter, appeared before Justice Dodd Wednesday morning, and was bound over to the Criminal Court in the sum of $1,000, to answer a charge of criminal assault. Swanson's victim is alleged to be Georgia Wheeler, an 11-year-old colored girl. George Wheeler, father of the girl, swore out the warrant. The assault is said to have been committed at 147 Fourth avenue, North, where Swanson and wife boarded, the victim serving as house maid at this place. Bond was made by Swanson." This could not be found unless one would look among the reading ad's. How different it would have been had the color of the persons in the affair been just the reverse. INSANE. A crazy man named Alfred Womack was arrested by the police Wednesday and carried to the station. A niece of the man who came to the lockup to make inquiries about him, said that although the man is out of his mind, he is harmless. She also stated that he frequently runs away from his home at Cherry Valley and comes to town. The niece will see that he is sent to his home. DR. JOSIE E. WELLS, Diseases of Women and Children.

Letters and messages from friends in San Francisco and Oakland, Cal., show that increased interest is being taken in the Japanese school problem. Kelkichi Aoki, is the plaintiff in a suit brought in the California courts to test the constitutionality of the act of the San Francisco School Board in excluding Japanese from the public schools. So there is to be a lively time in the courts, with the government of Japan behind its subjects to find the trend of opinion and the sentiment both in the United States and abroad. The following is given from the Literary Digest of January 19, 1907: "The people of California are accused of "narrow-minded prejudice and uncultured conceit" by the Jehoya Shimbun (Tokyo), for persisting in their attitude of hostility toward the Japanese after the President has taken his stand in favor of equality of treatment. The Japanese press quieted down considerably after the President's ringing declarations in his message, but as nothing has seemed to come of it, they are again beginning to show signs of restlessness. Thus the Nippon (Tokyo) remarks: "We must say that we regard the statement made by Viscount Aoki, Japanese Ambassador at Washington, to the effect that the Japanese indignation with the Californians has subsided, as premature. The indignation of the Japanese has not yet ceased. On the contrary, the statements reported to have been made by Mr. Miller, Senator Hayes, and some others have greatly incensed the Japanese. The nation is remaining tranquil because it has confidence in the ability of the President to end the trouble, but if it becomes clear that the State of California will not obey the President, the indignation of the Japanese will not fall to reassert itself with augmented strength.' "A writer in The Japan Weekly Mail (Yokohama) tells in the following paragraphs why the Japanese feel aggrieved, and suggests a way out of the difficulty: "It is difficult for the Japanese people to see why a special regulation should be directed toward their children. To them it seems that any embarrassment growing out of the congestion referred to might have been relieved by certain general regulations which would have borne equally upon all. No thoughtful Japanese could fail to approve of a rule which forbade adults or adolescents attending the lower grades of the public schools. Such a rule would be founded on practical universal experience. Neither would they object to the introduction of a language test for all applicants for admission to the public schools. A certain standard of efficiency in the use of the English language might very wisely be established, the attainment of which should be essential to admission to any but special schools. "Furthermore, no one could object to the segregation of any and all pupils who might show themselves morally unworthy. "If the Japanese community suffer more than others from the strict enforcement of regulations framed in the spirit indicated, no complaint would be heard from any responsible persons, certainly not against the regulations themselves, and an international question could not arise. The central point in the Japanese complaint is, not that certain of their countrymen have suffered through their children, but that they have suffered through the operation of a law in direct violation of a clause in the existing treaty which says, in effect, that they shall not be made the objects of special legislation or of special administrative treatment; for that is what the most highly favored nation clause in the treaties means, if it means anything. And this is just the question at issue. 'Does the treaty afford any protection whatever from local prejudice?' It is natural that the Japanese of all classes should wish to have that question answered.'" EBENEZER NOTES. Miss Lillie Hall is improving rapids. To the great number of Negro enterprises has been added another successful one, the Ebenezer Theatrical Stock Co. Miss Hattie E. Henley, the prima donna, playing double parts, is unexcelled in any amateur company. Mr. James Andrew McIntosh, in the role of "Gramp," deserves much credit for the masterly way in which he has taken to theatrical work. He is a coming Richard Mansfield. The talent as a whole is good. This week was a fine one, with three engagements. Ed. Harding, as an up-to-date tramp, is the whole show, and always on the spot. The Alpha Knights Society nominated its officers Monday night for the year. MISREPRESENTED A dispatch from reliable parties from Baton Rouge, La., says that the National Industrial Association of America, which was in session there, was misrepresented in the dispatches of Jan. 18, 1907, in which they are reported to have endorsed President Roosevelt's action. The following is from the American of 1-19-07: "Baton Rouge, La., Jan. 18.—Speaking for the 50,050 negroes which compose its membership, the Grand Council of the National Industrial Association of America, in convention here, to-day adopted a resolution indorsing President Roosevelt's action in dismissing the negro soldiers at Brownsville." THE END NOT YET. Much is still being said among the Negroes of Nashville and the state of Tennessee on the unjust way the state is dealing with the Negro's part of the educational money. Well informed people declare that the state has not done its part in issuing out the funds. Hardly an assembly convenes but that it puts forth something new for the white youth. The following is from the Banner: "The unanimous action of the House Committee on Education in recommending for passage the bill appropriating $250,000 for the Peabody College for Teachers was in accord with the wise and far-seeing public sentiment which appreciates the great advantage to the state and to the general cause of education by a substantial encouragement that will insure the establishment and development of one of the greatest schools for teachers in the world. This recommended appropriation differs only from the appropriation made for the same purpose by the last General Assembly, in that it will make the appropriation available at once, instead of by installments, and for this reason will be effective in securing the $1,000,000 endowment from the Peabody fund, with the reasonably assured prospect of a large addition to the endowment. This legislative appropriation, which will mean so much for the prestige of Tennessee in the educational world and so much in the beneficent results and influences that will flow from the great institution proposed, should be made as early as possible, so that the magnificent enterprise may not be longer delayed." There was a time when the state paid for four or five students in Fisk or Roger Williams—this is not so now. The last legislature cut down this well-made appropriation. There has been a movement started to make a thorough investigation of these funds and appropriations that appear to be misappropriated so far as the Negro youth is concerned. GLOBE COMPLIMENTED. The letter given in this column was presented to the Globe. It comes from a wide-awake Nashvillian, who is in a position to know what a paper is worth. Savannah, Ga., Jan. 22, 1907. REV. HENRY A. BOYD, Assistant Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board: Baptist Publishing Board: Dear Sir:—Yours to hand and the contents noted. In reply I want to thank you for the extra copies of the Nashville Globe, as they afforded me so much pleasure. I feel as if I were in Nashville when I read the Globe. It is a clean and well-edited sheet of no minor importance to the people of Nashville and to the race as well. I predict for the Globe a wide field of usefulness which its wide-awake promoters are not unmindful. Believe me, the day is on that our young men must come to the rescue of the race with such helpful instruments of relief as the Globe. I read with considerable pleasure the report of the Bank. Will be home the 26th. * * * NASHVILLIANS IN EASTERN PAPERS. An excellent likeness of four of the representative men of push, who acknowledge Nashville as home and who contribute no little to make their home a good one, was brought out in last week's (Jan. 19) issue of the Afro-American Ledger. They were Bishop Evans Tyre, of the A. M. E. Church, who is an able divine; Dr. R. H. Voorhies, one of the leading dentists of the city; Dr. R. F. Boyd, of whom all of Tennessee is proud, and Henry Allen Boyd, the Assistant Secretary of the Baptist Publishing Board. They were sent in by the correspondent of the Ledger, who writes under the nom de plume of "J. O. Midnight," and appears to have taken in Nashville recently. NASHVILLE'S NEW STUDIO. Sexton and Hynes Have Opened It in The new studio that has just been opened in the Pythalan Temple, at 428 Fifth avenue, North, will add no little to Nashville as a city where art is found in abundance. This city, of more than a hundred thousand inhabitants, in which can be found about 40.00 Negroes, can certainly support two studios and art galleries. Sexton & Hynes is the name of the new firm which has conceived the idea of running this new place on modern and up-to-date lines. Mr. Albert Setxon of the firm is one of the OR HAVE YOU ANY TROUBLE WITH YOUR EYES, EARS, NOSE or THROAT? IF SO, CONSULT Dr. C. V. Roman. SPECIALIST, ROOMS 2 and 3 NASHVILLE, NAPIER COURT. TENN. best known photographers of the race. He comes here from Chicago and St. Louis, Mo., where he was in the firm of Sexton and Maxwell. Prof. W. G. Hynes is a Nashvillian, who has proven that he is a wide- wake business man. He has traveled extensively over the country and knows how to use the people to their own delight; his stereopticon shows have been witnessed by thousands— all the church people know him and have learned to respect him. These two men promise many new and nobby features in their line to the public. The studio is opened on the first floor of the Pythian Temple. They have a beautiful reception room fitted up with new furniture. There is an attractive display of various sizes of photographs, a new upright show case, a leather Davenport lounge and everything to make the office up-to-date. They have given the Negroes of the city a peep into the new world of photograph, i. e., one can go there at 8 or 10 o'clock at night and with the new electric light machine have your picture made. This light has not been used in a Negro gallery, so this enables those who can not get to town in the day time to go at night and have pictures made. A large and encouraging patronage is already noted. It is not known how long Mr. Sexton will remain here, as he had planned to visit the Jamestown Exposition, he seems not willing to abandon the trip. If he can not be persuaded to remain and continue with the firm through the year, an attempt will be made to persuade him to return after the Exposition. Their new line of cards and other nobby material ordered a month ago has not arrived, but is expected daily. THE GLOBE'S ANNIVERSARY. The Nashville Globe celebrated its first anniversary on the 11th inst. at Nashville. The invitations to the press were tastefully printed and handsome in appearance. The Globe is among our most interesting exchanges and we heartily extend to Editor J. O. Battle our best wishes for a successful publication of the Globe.—The Pensacola (Fla.) Sentinel. We regretted our inability to attend, but we hope for you all many more such occasions.—The Savanah Independent. We take this means of acknowledging the gracious invitation of the Publishers of the National Globe to meet them on Friday night, Jan. 11th at Spa Cafe, to help them celebrate their first anniversary. The invitation reached us Tuesday, Jan. 15th, much to our regret, for had it come to us in time, with an opportunity for such good victuals and such good company, there is no telling what we might have done. We congratulate the Globe; may it live until two ciphers stand behind the figure it has just celebrated, and then on—The Richmond (Va.) St. Luke's Herald. We acknowledge the receipt of an invitation to help the Nashville (Tenn.) Globe celebrate its first anniversary and regret our inability to be present on that fovous occasion. The Advocate takes this means to express its felicitations and hope that the Globe may have many more happy returns.-Charleston. (W. Va.) Advo- Y. M. C. A.

It was an honest, if a hasty, impulse. Senator Sponer hits the nail on the head, but really knocks the bottom out of his own long and brilliant speech in defense of the President, when he says he wishes that the President's action had been a little more carefully considered. The instinctive feeling of the people, whatever may be the precise letter of the law or the constitutional limitation, is that no man shall be adjudged guilty without a hearing, and that innocent men shall not be punished for guilt of those for whom their only responsibility is that they are doing duty in the same organization. It is a mere play on words to say that a soldier's dismissal without honor, especially after long years of faithful and gallant service and without an opportunity to prove his innocence, is not a punishment—indied one of the severest of punishments. The stain lasts for life. "Everybody knows that had time been taken, had efficient means of detection ben set atwo rk, had advantage ben taken of the leaks which are sure to open in a matter of which so many are claimed to have had knowledge, the truth could have ben got at and the offenders found out.

Boston, Jan. 19.—"The Brownsville incident was discussed by ex-Secretary of the Navy John D. Long at a dinner of prominent Republicans here to-day. Mr. Long was Secretary of the Navy doth during President McKinloy's administration and while President Roosevelt completed the term or his predecessor, and also in the early part of the present Administration. "It is often asked," said Mr. Long, "what actuated the President to such an unlimited sweep which, without a hearing of the parties accused, inflicted severe punishment not only on those suspected of guilt though not proved guilty on trial, but also, if there were guilty ones, on innocent and guilty alike. "It has occurred to me that ther eason is perhaps to be found in the impulsive nature of the President, whose impulses, always toward the right, are not always directed with sufficient consideration. No President has been more emphatic of his assertion of the rights and political equality of the negro, for whose sake he has braved criticism and contumely. His righteous courtesy to Booker Washington in inviting him to the dinner table, and his, mistaken, I think, insistence in forcing Crum upon the City of amcacd1,flC9L 8 618:TCharlesETA Charleston, are instances in point. They brought upon him an avalanche of unjust abuse which he met with unswerving fidelity to his convictions. "What more natural than that, when THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. JANUARY 25. 1907 THE NASHVILLE CLOSE WEEK Nuggets of Gold. That is a good day in which you make some one happy. It is astonishing how little it takes to make one happy. Feel that the day is wasted in which you have not succeeded in this.—Talmage. * * * By seeking myself I lost myself, but in seeking Thee only I found both myself and thee.—Thomas a Kempis. *** If your pleasures are such that they seriously prejudice your next day's duties; if your pleasures are such that the main business and interest of your life suffers in consequence, they are not pleasures, they are revelings.—Thomas Arnold. Why should a Christian family provide a ballroom when building a house? Is not dancing generally recognized as an unwholesome and unchristian diversion? How many fathers, whether Christians or not, really wish their daughters to dance? Are not these ballrooms provided usually because demanded by the mother? And do mothers reflect seriously upon the tendencies and dangers of the modern dance? These questions have presented themselves to our mind. But we are uncertain as to the correct answer.—Christian Advocate. --- I have heard of a man who thought he could live without sin if he were to dwell alone, so he took a pitcher of water and a store of bread and provided some wood and locked himself up in a solitary cell, saying: "Now I shall live in peace." But in a moment or two he chanced to kick the pitcher over, and he thereupon used an angry expression. Then he said, "I see it is possible to lose one's temper even when alone," and at once returned to live among men. Temptation is where man is.—L. A. Banks. *** "The day of small things" is a phrase which has been much overloaded. While we are not to despise the day of small things, surely the prophet himself would join us in despising a man or a Church which, having passed that day, still tries to hide behind that motto. It is as when a full-grown man depends on his father for support. The contributions which many wealthy Churches and many wealthy Christians make to the work of God in the world are so paltry as to be absolutely despicable. No wonder that such Christians and such Churches often backslide. They have not far to go.—Index. *** "No disputing about matters of taste," is a bit of wise advice handed down to us by the ancients. Yet much of our disputing is of just that kind. In the nature of the case such a dispute can never be settled. We shall not change our tastes to suit others. We could not if we wished. They are as essentially individual as is the color of our hair. It is true that in our sophisticated day the scripture which says, "Thou canst not make one hair white or black," can no longer be applied. It is also true that even tastes will yield to resolute treatment. But it must come from within, not from without.—Exchange. ** The Bible is God's love letter to the world. The introduction is the sublime account of creation, showing something of the greatness and majesty of the Lover, then by personal incident and historical record and poetical message He tells what He loves and how He loves, closing with the wonderful description of the beautiful home and bountiful provision He has made for the bride He is gathering to Himself out of true believers from all the nations of the earth.—A. E. Foote. ** ** The man of five talents by practice gained five more. So with the man of two talents. But the man of one talent, failing to improve it, was stripped of that. So he that hath, to him shall be given; and he that hath not improved, it shall be taken from him. He that knows and will not do then that he knows, will be taken from him.—Western Recorder. *** Many things go to make up the happiness of our life. This is it blessedness—to have faith in God, to be truly, deeply, practically religious. Rufus Ellis. *** The world has small need of a religion which consists solely or chiefly of emotions and raptures. But the religion that follows Jesus Christ, alike when he goes up into the high mountain to pray and when he comes down into the dark valley to work; the religion that listens to him, alike when he tells us of the peace and joy of the Father's house and when he calls us to feed his lambs; the religion that is willing to suffer as well as to enjoy, to labor as well as to triumph; the religion that has a soul to worship God, and a heart to love man, and a hand to help in every good cause—is pure and undefiled.—H. Van Dyke. * * * Nature is but a name for an effect whose cause is God.—Cowper. There never was a day that did not bring its own opportunity for doing good that never could have been done before and never can be again. William Burleigh. Do what is pleasing to Jesus Christ, and neglect nothing which pleases him.—Lorenzo Scupoli. Would you judge of the lawfulness or unlawfulness of pleasure, take this rule: whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes off the relish of spiritual things—in short, whatever increases the strength and authority of your body over your mind, that thing is a sin to you, however innocent it may be in itself.—Susannah Wesley. * * * When we shall come home and enter into the possession of our Brother's fair kingdom, and when our heads shall find the weight of the eternal crown of glory, and when we shall look back to pains and suffering, then shall we see life and sorrow to be less than one step or stride from a prison to glory, and that our little inch of time-suffering is not worthy of our first night's welcome home to heaven.—Samuel Rutherford. *** It comes to us, if it comes at all, through those years of learning and of waiting in which our human hearts are both humbled and exalted, both made empty and enriched. That knowledge is the knowledge in which all moral experiences sum up their wisdom of life; and it cannot be taught, for it is a revelation coming through the life of man, through all his affections, needs, trials, satisfactions—a knowledge of the heart which cannot be taken away. Thus the Bible sums up its revelations of the Father in one intensely human word—God is love. Newman Smyth. *** Thackeray expresses the feeling of discontent which is the bane of life in this way: "When I was a boy, I wanted some taffy; it was a shilling; I hadn't one. When I was a man, I had a shilling, but I didn't want any taffy."—Exchange. ** If we know the inner life of many of the people we meet, we would be very gentle with them, and would excuse the things in them that seem strange or eccentric to us. They are carrying burdens of secret grief.—J. R. Miller, D. D. \*\*\* "Peace is better than joy. Joy is an uneasy guest, and is always on tiptoe to depart. It tries and wears us out, and yet keeps us ever fearing that the next moment it will be gone. Peace is not so. It comes more quietly, it stays more contentedly; and it never exhausts our strength, nor gives one anxious, forecasting thought."—Exchange. *** If ever there was a time when we needed to think of what we can have without money, it is now. We talk so much about money. We say we can do nothing without it. That is not so. We can be saints without money; we can have peace of conscience, peace with God, joy in God—we can have heaven without money.—Margaret Bottome. *** When there is so much imperfect vision, we can hardly be sure that our own eyes are absolutely reliable. So we must learn to express our opinions humly, and with due respect for those of others; above all, having charity. A voice that habitually "sharps" or "flats" will spoil a choir; so an intolerant spirit will ruin the harmony of a household.—J. F. Willing. THE shame and sin of lying cannot be properly estimated. It may be said truly that every brave man shuns the shame of lying more than death. It may be said also that the man who lives by lying will never be scrupulous in making money by his reputation. God hates a lying tongue. It is impossible, therefore, for human beings to ever become used to it. TRUE religion makes a man strong enough and clever enough to conceal his passions; to endure wrong for Christ's sake; to forgive injury, and to sacrifice his own interest, in order that other people may receive comfort and happiness. If a man has not sufficient religion to do these things, it may be necessary for him to return to the wilderness in search of a different kind. MEN who give their lives for the sake of right principles have their judgment in this world, and their names go down in the dust like a glorious banner trodden in the mire, but they will rise again all glorious in the sight of nations. The man in defense of right, whether he is proscribed, banished, burned, starved, buried alive, smothered, drowned, or massinated, has the fullest assurance that a spirit of self-sacrificing shall enter into a new and higher life.

CALLS FOR AN EXPLANATION. If the reports being circulated around the city are true, the young men of the graduating class from Meharry deserve the commendation of every race-loving person in the city. Likewise the members of the faculty, almost all of whom are colored, are placed in an unfavorable light. It is asserted that the members of the class voted to have the class photographs made at an establishment conducted by a local photographer of our race, and that the Dean of the College, a white man, was willing but the faculty objected. In the first place, as to where the class photographs should be made ought not to be influenced by the members of the faculty. As we understand it, the class is paying for the photographs and it should have the right to say who should do the work. We hope the faculty has not been guilty of discriminating against the photographers of our race. For these professors, like the photographers, make their living almost exclusively from our people, and it should be their desire to encourage by their patronage the enterprises conducted by men of our race. If the reports be true, the class of 1907 has made a step in the right direction. GOVERNOR PATTERSON'S MESSAGE. The Hon. Malcolm R. Patterson sent his first message to the Legislature, Wednesday. It was assiduously circulated immediately following the nomination of Mr. Patterson by the democratic convention that he had been a life-long friend to the Negro, but near the close of the campaign, goaded, it seems, by some of his radical supporters, he lent his aid to the bloody-shirt campaign of race issues. We had looked forward to his message to see what position he would take on the race question as an executive. He surprised us by not referring openly to our race in the whole message. The message is a strong one. It shows the strong individuality of the man who single-handed waged such a fight as to put out of commission the democratic machine that has been running the affairs of the state for several years. In his fight for the nomination he was not afraid to make issues nor has he been afraid to recommend measures that he thinks will improve the government of the state. The Governor, in the message among other things recommends changes in the election laws, an extension of what is known as the Tollett educational fund, the abolition of school directors and the establishment --- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 1907. of a county board of education, passage of a pure food law, the establishment of a state reformatory for juvenile criminals, uniformity of assessments and one assessor for each county, reformation of criminal laws, increased salary for judges, purchase of executive mansion, creation of the offices of state auditor, bank examiners and good road commission. The recommendations of Mr. Patterson as a whole are excellent, and if the legislature will but adopt the most of them into laws, Tennessee will profit thereby. NATIONAL THEATRE The United tates is really becoming a world power. Old world customs are being adopted with modifications to suit our republican or provincial form of government. The subject of a national theatre, endowed or subsidized by the general government likened unto that of France, has long been the hope of those whose natural inclinations are towards the betterment of histrionic art. Just how this was to be secured has been the subject of fruitless discussion for many years, but at last, under the beneficent influence of that patron saint of everything, that demi-god of ingenuity, Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, President of these United States, we have a National Theatre—the United States Senate—an elevating play and suitable actors. As was meet for the occasion and such a playhouse, the distinguished author, manager, actor, Mr. Roosevelt, has gathered around him in this great production, The Brownsville Affair and Its Sequel, a caste composed almost exclusively of stars. In the first act Mr. Roosevelt, accompanied by his trusting, obedient foil, Mr. Taft (excepting a few supes like Gen. Garlington and Maj. Blocksom), is almost the whole show. He charges and discharges, with honor and without honor, white and black respectively in the order named. The gallery god, that is, that portion of him which occupies the section on the south side, marked "white," applauds viciferously. Act two presents a conglomeration that almost beggars description. In this act there is a comedy, farce, tragedy, legerdermain and one of the star performers even tries to introduce a full-fledged minstrel. This "burnt cork artist" from South Carolina is indeed the star of this show in the second act and he is easily the most versatile of all his companions. The only trouble is that when he tries to be funny he is really tragic to his fellow-actors. One of the best scenes of the production was that between Pitchfork Ben, "the burnt cork artist," and the knight of the red feather, the Hotspur from Tennessee. The second act has come to a close at last. The third act will be devoted to an investigation of the Brownsville affair. As to the fourth act there is some doubt. It may have its finale at the polls in 1908. The withdrawal of Rear-Admiral Davis, with his vessels from Kingston, Jamaica, where he had gone on behalf of the United States to assist the suffering people of that island and the correspondence that passed between him and Gov. Swetenham, judged from the unofficial accounts sent out, has the appearance of the capers of Alphonso and Gaston. It appears to be a case where both officials had an exaggerated idea of their own importance. President Roosevelt has shown excellent judgment in minimizing an incident which though galling to our pride, had its inception in the readiness of our officer to set aside precedent and international law. Booker Washington has been chosen to deliver the Founders Day address this year at the Hampton Industrial School. This is the first time that a colored man has been selected as the orator for the day and it is peculiarly fitting that the most distinguished graduate from the school should receive the honor. As the Immigration Convention held its last session in this state, it is surprising that Governor Patterson did not follow the lead of other Southern governors and express his views on the subject. It is possible, though, that he is saving the subject for a special message. Ben Tillman's new title, given by the President, it is said, is "the burnt cork artist of the Senate." The description would have been more fitting had he been called the low comedian and villain of the Brownsville melodrama. Where, oh, where, was Secretary Taft when Chairman Shonts, of the Canal Commission, resigned his position to accept another with a private corporation that paid more money: Shades of Wallace, avaunt! The Supreme Court, like the spider and the fly, is gradually spinning its web around the Chattanooga lynchers. The accused men have been ordered to give a bond of $1,000 each. It is becoming far too common for white men to assault colored women. The Prosecuting Attorney of this county ought to get busy. "Bailey's only sin," says one writer, is that he is above the mediocre." The Texans seem to think that he is beneath the oil. The Mississippi River is on a rampage. We hope Vardaman lives near the levee. EDITORIAL OPINION FROM THE COLORED PRESS. The President Not to Be Criticised. Our immaculate President has given out another interview to the correspondents of the leading dailies of the country with a view to create sympathy from the people at large and at the same time to distrust the action of Congress. The sensational story, as told by the correspondents, is that the "foes" of Mr. Roosevelt in Congress had planned to censure him as a usurper and an autocrat. Within a recent period a mania for justification has possessed the President that he was infallible: that his acts were justified whether he lectured the Judges of the Federal Courts or whether he ignored an act of Congress and for so doing he was above criticism. Let us call Mr. Roosevelt's attention to a recent message in which he quoted a decision of Chief Justice Marshall, "that no official, judicial or otherwise, was above criticism." This being the case, he should not be averse to criticism of his acts by the national Congress, according to the statement given out that such criticism would convey censure and would be absurd. In plain words it means that Mr. Roosevelt would have the people of this country to understand that the President, like the crowned heads of Europe, can do no wrong; that he is immaculate; that any suggestion of criticism or censure is too absurd to be thought of. Mr. Roosevelt must not forget that this Government is still republican in form; that it has not given to the Executive of the nation its rights or its liberties. Mr. Roosevelt must remember that he is not the autocrat, but the servant of the people, who claim the right either through national legislation, through the press of the country or in the public forum to criticise his official acts and to censure those that are objectionable. The people are yet masters of themselves and not Mr. Roosevelt.--Philadelphia Tribune. Benjamin Ryan Tillman. Benjamin Ryan Tillman is a national Anomaly! A wing footed craven is he, who screeches a warning of fearful doom, but forgets not to felicitate the doomers. Many have taken the one-eyed soldier of a thousand causes seriously. How silly, and what a lack of finer judgment! In on the floor of the United States senate last Saturday, 'neath a veritable human flower-garden, the Senator delivered himself against Terrible Teddy for what he styled outrageous conduct against American citizens in uniform. After so glorious a task, in which he took conscious delight, our Pericles from Trenton set his breath against the American Negro, that element in his state that set him in the seat of the mighty; that element that enriched him; that element members of which a few weeks ago bore the remains of his sister to her resting place mid a bed of wild violets, and 'neath musical whispers of the cedars that reared about. Let us waste neither tears nor time over Tillman. He is no longer an influence; he has been found out. Men love to hear him talk much as they love to hear or see any other clown, and they urge him on in his vaporing with studied applause merely to see him jump and stammer and say "Damn it."—The Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate. Insurance Discrimination. Several of the insurance companies of the country openly refuse Afro-American risks, while others do it by indirect means, usually basing refusal on physical or hereditary defect. We do not need to name any of these companies here, as we are not disposed to give them one line of free advertising. But we do wish to direct the attention of our readers and business men to the fact that there is such discrimination, more or less general, against us, and that it is a sufficient argument to urge that more support be given to the insurance companies we have and that we should move to create, where we may not have them, companies of our own. We need successful insurance companies the same as we need banks, and as we have made a beginning with both branches of business we should give them liberal support in order that they may be able to meet all the demands we have to make upon them. The difference between banking and insurance is very radical but simple enough; in placing money in the bank we receive interest on the principal; while in placing money in insurance we pay interest on the principal. Either provision for old age is good and wise.-The New York Age. Negro Office-Holder Silent. The colored office-holder of the higher grades have been noticeably silent in regard to the discharge of the soldiers of the 25th Infantry. While the more radical ones among us have felt inclined to criticise them for their failure to take sides with their race in its battle for justice, the conservative thinkers, in recognition of the eternal fitness of things, are not slow to commend them for the wisdom, decency and discretion they are showing under such trying circumstances. Registers of the Treasury, Recorders of Deeds, Collectors, Postmasters and Justices on the bench are a part of the Roosevelt administration—members of the President's official family, and they would place themselves in a most awkward position were they to undertake to offer any very radical objection to the policies set in motion from the White House.—The Indianapolis Freeman. Mississippi Banks. The reports of the different banks show that they are doing a creditable business, but not the business they should do. The business of every bank in the State would be twice the business they are now doing if the leaders of our people would do the proper thing—that is to say, teach the people to respect racial enterprises, and they, too, should be the embodiment of all they teach. Let the people get together along business lines and quit injecting denominationalism in business of any kind. When this is done you will find employment waiting for our boys and girls.—The Indianola (Miss.) New Era. Good Feelings in Chattanooga. The best of feeling exists in the city of Chattanooga between the two races. Nearly all the manufactories and business houses are owned and operated by southern capital, and the largest percentage of labor employed is Negro, and the thing for the colored laborer to do now is to equip himself and herself with such weapons of efficiency that will make him a competitor to be feared and respected by other labor whether it be alien or home, and this will put the colored laborer in a position to demand higher wages.—Chattanooga Herald. Senator Tillman. Senator Benjamin Tillman has been pregnant with a speech for some time and on last Saturday he was permitted to deliver it. In his heart Mr. Tillman is not inimical to the negro. He has but one way to gain a reputation and that way is to abuse the negro. No one seriously considers what Mr. Tillman says. He makes a good clown no matter in what role he plays. He is at his best when he is attacking the President and the colored American. Mr. Tillman wants the colored man to understand that he is not his equal. In this he makes a blunder. There are thousands of colored men and women in the United States who would not associate with Mr. Tillman and certainly they would not consider it an honor to be in his company. Mr. Tillman has his faults. He has his weakness also. He is insane on the negro question and before he dies he will appeal to the negro for aid and comfort. Those who listened to Mr. Tillman's speech Saturday were not made angry. He said some good things as well as some bad things. Mr. Tillman was right when he said that the President dismissed the colored troops on account of their color. The Bee is of the opinion that some portions of his speech were full of salt and pepper. A few more speeches like the one delivered will do the negro as much good as the order of dismissal of the colored troops.—The Washington (D. C.) Bee. Negro Troops Not Wanted. What seems to be a hopeless case is that of the re-enlistment of the disbanded colored troops from the Army. President Roosevelt during the week has spoken more emphatically than before in justification of his position, and now Congress is amusing itself in debating the matter. We wished the matter was dismissed entirely, for we believe the whole matter is but the eruption of a long slumbering disposition on the part of the United States Army authorities to rid themselves entirely of Negro soldiers. He has been an unwelcome guest ever since the Civil War. The Negro has never had a fair show in the army, and why should he or his friends even raise the hue and cry at this late date about fair play? With the passing of the Negro troops from the reuglar army, either by honorable or dishonorable discharge, is one of the methods it appears which the white authorities have decided—to rid themselves of what seems to them an odium. Justice and fair play has no part in the matter whatsoever.—Philadelphia (Pa.) Courant. SERGEANT MINGO SANDERS.
