VOL. XVIII. NO. 29. THE HAYES RECEPTION FIASCO He Outraged Movers of "Hayes Testimonial Meeting" by Attacking Washington. THE AUDIENCE SHOCKED Gathered to Celebrate Hayes' "Services and Sacrifices," It Was Forced to Hear'Unwanted Firebrand Speech—Morris a Year Ago Regarded Washington With Idolatry—What Are Hayes' "Services and Sacrifices" Anyhow?—Ignorantly Prepared and Presented Virginia Disfranchisement Cases—Hot-headed and Irresponsible in Thought—Unreliable in Action—Has Been Disturbing Force in Race—A Lawyer Without Clients—His Methods Exposed and Condemned—Has Never Publicly Accounted for Moneys Publicly Raised. The citizens of New York were invited to take part in a reception" to Mr. James H. Hayes, a citizen of Virginia without visible means of support, at Mt. Olive Baptist Church, on Tuesday evening of last week. A number of prominent citizens of New York joined in the invitation to extend the "reception" to Mr. Hayes, "as an expression of their high appreciation of his services and sacrifices in endeavor to establish the Constitutional rights of citizens of the United States of North America." If called upon audaciously to define the character of Mr. Hayes "services and sacrifices" probably none of the citizens could do so, although there have been services of a kind,—which came to nothing because of ignorance in preparing and presenting the Virginia disfranchising law to the Federal Supreme Court, and which were simply paid for by subscriptions collected by the citizens of New York. North, collections of which no account has yet, so far as Tiffany Ack knows, been made. It is not asserted that these funds were misapplied, but that they have been unaccounted for in a public way, although publicly collected. There were no sacrifices made by Mr. Hayes in his life with no inimitation to punish his work or his stomach for the race's worst. Indeed, Mr. Hayes has been a disturbing rather than a helpful force in the life of the Mt. American people during the past 100 years, simply because we are unaware of the many injuries and impressions and the terrible injury response in thought—creating confusion in whatever councils to which he may be a party. He has been found dictatorial in unkind and unreliable action. He has the disposition in every movement to obstruct, and that disposition will be unstoppable, whether he be Russian Czechs or Virginia citizens without clients. The people were invited to join in a reception, to Mr Hayes of which the listing of a collection for his benefit was a part of each occasion it is customary to send to the guest of honor, speakers to dwell upon the services of the guest of honor, while the latter confines himself to plaintious thanks and engagement upon the work he has performed to justify the placing of the laurel wreath on his head, shining brow What really happened? The presiding officer, Rev Charles S. Morris, D. D., after keeping the audience waiting until 9:25 o'clock, produced a written address forty five minutes long in which he denounced Booker Washington, the race has suffered during the past years, this in spite of the fact that Dr. Morris undersigned the fact that Dr. Morris underpinned the Washington at a public meeting in the Abyssina Baptist Church about a year ago, gashed him as the possessor of subline virtue and wisdom, the speaker in a specially built pantheon of fame at the audience applauded the eloquence of the man and then when he sat down was shocked, pensive and silent, recognizing that a great stabake had been made by the speaker and an outrage perpetrated upon him, the speaker and the thin were the words the speaker said to Mr. Hayes or the objects of the meeting. The audience got what it did not come to and what it did not want, and Mr. Morris got a consensual write up in the New York newspapers the horrific force of the speech, having since struck by explanations which do not explain and protestations which fall at on the air and write to death. When Mr. Hayes was called upon at a late hour it was 12:55 a.m before he insisted his talk) he protested that the meeting was not intended to roast Dr. Williams, but to roast him by institution. He asked questions, protecting institutionally that he did not refer to Banker Washington, about what furnished the money needed to light down the dangerous prophecy of failure Southern representation in Congress. He asked right of every State in the Union, the first since its Atro-American citizen by accepting a proportionate reduction of representation. The people he was adoring The firmed the money by support This firmed the money by support and will continue to teach to the fight and for it, while chap demagogues howl, and beat the air and imagine walt things. But, if of the matter is that men like him, they are more likely to simply be because they are compartmentalized. The New York Age. unabashed, and being uncertain of themselves are suspicious of all other men. And the race is leaded down with such men—med, who men well, but who do extremely badly at every psychic moment the police are needed to protect the interests of the race they pretend to serve. And then, at a late hour, the audience which had been invited to tender a "tendid malicious reception" to Mr. Hayes was with the orchestra to help and Dr. Morris and Dr. Gilbert to plead and abort for thirty minutes, the people having been adjourned to the basement where refreshments were served, three hundred dollars was secured. The audience was presented and not raised at such evening. Not much has heretofore been said in THE Aon about Mr. Hayes and his perilous activity; he has been left alone in the hope that he would eventually see that the race has nothing to gain but much to lose by the methods by which he seeks to accuse the honesty of his organisation work, by urging the acceptance of dangerous propositions, by questioning the honesty and slavity of other men engaged in the work ofettering the condition of the race, and by a suspicious disposition which makes a good understanding with him a painful and uncertain business, but proves his address last week shows. It is no surprise that this is no, but so it is. Dr. Morris sends THE AOK a letter re questing the statement last week that his speech "incondiary" and "hushed" be corrected. THE AOK committed an error, which is regressed, in saying that Dr. Morris' speech was "hased"; but by saying that it was "incondiary", THE AOK believes no injustice was done Dr. Morris. The following copy of a letter sent Dr. Washington explained: New York, Feb. 23, 1905. Mr. Booker T. Washington, Tunkegale, Ala. Dear Sir--We^a the undersigned, executive committee of a reception tendered Hon. James H.

NEW YORK: THURSDAY, MARCH 2. 1905: HONOR WHEATLAND Was Chosen to Address Anti- Tuberculosis Society on Consumption Germs. EXTRACTS FROM LECTURE One-Tenth of Deaths in Civilized Countries Due to Tuberculosis—All Persons Over 40 Have It—How to Destroy it—"Candle Rally" Sets Two Ladies Afire. NEWPORT, Feb. 30.—Dr. Marcus F. Wheatland addressed the Newport Association for the Prevention and Control of Tuberculosis on the subject of "Tuberculosis" Tuesday of last week. He used stercuroxides to illustrate his subject. The lecture, which is in every part valuable enough to reprint in full if only space allowed, consisted first of a general description of the tuberculosis germ and its effects, and the best methods of avoiding and destroying it. Among other things Dr. Wheatland said: DR MARCUS P. WHEATLAND "Tuberculosis is a chronic communicable disease produced by the entrance into the system of the germs at tuberculosis. Almost every organ and tissue of the body may be invaded by these microorganisms, but they more frequently find lodgment in the lymph glands as in scrofa; the lungs as in consumption; the pleura as in a large per cent. of pleurisy; and are generally the cause of chronic bone and joint diseases. "Statistics from all civilized countries show that about one tenth of all deaths are due to tuberculosis. When we ask one-tenth we are governed by the return of death as sent in by the physicians in attendance; they do not include the largest number of deaths recognized forms of the disease, so closely does it stimulate other disorders. Indeed so general is the disease that the statement of Navgell that it is probable that every individual over 10 years of age has or has had tuberculosis. In some form is generally accepted by the medical profession. A patient kept in the dark corners of a room may remain virulent for from 6 to 10 months. Freezing does not kill them, as after the thaw they are just as virulent as they were originally. Two hours exposure to sunlight and pure air is generally sufficient to do the work. Tuberculosis in children multiply rapidly in the use of milk from tuberculosis cows." As preventives of consumption Dr Wheatland advocated the observance of personal hygiene, physical exercise, cold baths, fresh air for breathing, proper diting, and instant treatment of colds and coughs. The Newport Daily News and the Newport Bulletin very highly, and the people of Newport are proud of him. He has perhaps the finest medical office in this city. The "Candle Rally" at the Union Congregational Church, under the direction of Rev. P. F. Matthes of Fall River, Mass, was largely attended. All who contributed were presented with candles and a handsome sum was realized.

DANCY BANQUETED His Many Friends Testify Thus Their Appreciation of His Services to Race We Have Advanced, Says He, From Abject Slavery to Day of Light and Liberty—There Are, However, Still Other Victories to Be. Won —R. H. Terrell, Toastmaster. From the Washington Evening Star. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 22. —John O. Dancy, recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, was tendered a banquet last evening at True Reformers' hall, 12th and U streets, by many of his friends of this city, who desired in such manner to make acknowledgment of Mr. Dancy's work as a clichen, churchman and public servant. The banquet room was tastefully decorated with plants and flowers, as were the conveniently arranged tables. During the wrong an orchestra played a delightful program. Justice Robert H. Terrell was the toastmaster, and after welcoming the guest of the occasion in an eloquent tribute, introduced the following speakers in a very happy manner: Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, Judson W. Lyons, register of the treasury; Dr. E. D. Scott, Major Charles R. Douglass, Professor John C. Mall, University of Chicago, Professor King, L. H. Houston, Rev S. L. T therers, Rev P. A. Wallace, Thomas Walker, William Jennifer, Rev William James Howard and Thomas L. Jones. In their brief addresses, the speakers touched all phases of the Negro question, and were highly complimentary of Mr. Dancy's labor in behalf of his people. Dancy has been in public life since attaining his majority twenty-six years ago, serving as registrar of deeds for Edgecombe county, N. C., and as collector of the port at Wilmington, N. C., prior to his appointment three years ago as recorder of deeds for the county of Galbraith Chapel, L. C. Carruthers, of Galbraith Chapel, this referred to Mr. Dancy's membership in the A. M. E. Zion Church, and to the prominent part taken by him in the work of that church, presenting him, on behalf of that body, with a handsome loving cup. When he arose to express his grateful honor, he was honored with a honor paid him by his friends. Mr. Dancy was most cultual satttically greeted. Forty years he said, is a brief period in the life of a race or of a nation, and tril umphs of his people during these forty years present a spectacle to angels and to men, and standing without a parallel in their conduct. He was a man of more could have been done, although remembering the depths from which they have come it is remarkable that they find themselves advanced so far. He cautioned his hearers to remember that there are other liberties to be assured and that other vicarious liberties to be taken with pride and patience, and to win them but they will come snake. "I have lived," said Mr. Daney, "to we all the changed conditions from object slavery to this day of light and liberty. Norman can realize the vast change but development is a marvelous from whatever viewpoint we may consider it. And yet as a people we are only in the infancy of our growth. It doth not yet appear what we shall be. With the new era of sympathy dawning upon us led by a Nation's trepid ruler who knows no fear and who believes in equal and exact justice and a square deal to each and all and forever, only a few years will be required to settle the sphere we are to till as an important force the Nation's life and the National glory. The esteem at him, said Mr. Daneey, have helped largely in the past to push the force forward, and are still doing so. He reminded them that the duties confronting them are more pressing and more inviting than any litherto performed, and he urged them to be more vigilant, "Victories are won," said Mr. Daneey, but by mere hopes and prophecies, but by an erasing effort and eternal vigilance. As roosece Conkling once declared, so I believe that "From Runnymede to Appomatto the jewel for which civilized man has fought has been the law of the land, and equality is the law of the land." A personal honor you do by this banquet, each of you can do myself and yourselves greater honor by multiplying them, if in so doing you can start a study of the conditions surrounding and confronting us as will lead to their happy and satisfied lives. Letters of regret were read from Chas W. Anderson of New York, Col. James Lewis, surveyor general of Louisiana, and from Mr. Reuben S: Smith of this city. A letter was also received from Mr. Robert W. Dutton, the deputy recorder of deeds, in which he referred to Mr. Daneey's actions, and the necessity and of progress, earnestly endorsing to make the office all it should be. Hudson News.

Will President Removeit Capture the White South? To understand just how rapidly events tread upon the heels of each other we have only to review the history made since the election last November. The white South fought out the campaign leading up to the election with all the hate and venom which have characterized Southern politics since the War of the Rebellion. President Roosevelt was subjected to abuse and micropreparation such as have fallen to few candidates for President. His simple but hostile attitude of fair dealing with the Afro-American people was sufficient to make him the target of all that is base and disgust in the lowest of ward politics, the Vardamas and Helfin and their sort going so far as to suggest that ammunition would be too good for him. Indeed, the excess of intolerance and abuse of the President and the Afro-American people so far around the voters of the Republic that they rose in their majority and voted the breath out of the Democratic party, of which the white South in the soul, so that when the ballots were counted the postfifty percent marigolds seemed utterly dead—struck down by the dynamic contempt and distrust of a vast majority of the American people. But they were not dead; they were only paralyzed. By keeping very quiet and rubbing themselves profinitely with the oil of Machiavellian satires for twenty-four hours they began to use them, and with such good effect that by meekness and blainey they made the whole country believe they were really the people who loved President Roosevelt best and therefore had the best right to rejoice and make a loud note with tongue and pen over his election. Really, it was a manifestation new under the sun and retains that character and freshness unto the present hour. Tan Aux was impressed by the movement of monkness and blarney of the White South that we were moved to ask with all the sclerometry we could muster. "Will the White South Capture President Roosevelt?" Eridently President Roosevelt had some fears as to the possibility of such a catastrophe, and in order to avert it he got busy, and has been buoy ever since, in his own masterful way, in an effort not to be captured at all. By a tact and frankness rarely equalled by any public man he has systematically gone about the delicate work of turning the right and left flanks of the White South, with the purpose of enveloping the whole outfit. To day, therefore, the question is not "Will the White South Capture President Roosevelt?" but "Will President Roosevelt Capture the White South?" Power of the Northern Afro-Ameri- car Voter. The Washington correspondent of the New York Evening Post relates in a recent letter, part of which we reprint in another column, how the Afro-American voters of California compelled Senator Perkins of that State to cease opposing Dr. Crum's confirmation, and points out that the Northern Afro-American vote, especially when the event of political battles is doubtful, is a factor which cannot be ignored. It is a fact that we of the North often hold the balance of power in our own States between the Democratic and Republican parties, and are therefore in a position to exact whatever rewards we desire. Why is it, then, that we have not forced Congress to right the civil and political wrongs which our klanmen suffer in the South? One reason is that we do not know the power of our ballot, the weapon which has been providentially placed in our hands. We use Excallibur for pelling potatoes. We seem not to recognize that we can, by a judicious use of the ballot, be of more practical service to our affiliated brothers than President Roosevelt can be. The New York Evening Post's correspondent says that a Pennsylvania representative, presumably instructed by his Afro-American constituents, introduced a bill in the House recently for abolishing the "Jim Crow" car infamy. If one Representative can be so effectively instructed, why not a hundred? It must be that the Afro-Americans of other districts are less enterprising, less aware of their own power, than the Afro-Americans of this Pennsylvania Congressman's district. If the Northern members of the House of Representatives had understood that any failure on their part to uphold the Afro-American's rights would be certainly punished, they would not, in the case of smaller or lesser. Lever have adduced so directly their right to judge the credential of their fellow members. lent rehearsal. Because we are unaware of our powers, we seem unable to organize for the purpose of using them. A compact league of Northern Afro-American voters, guided by an honest, noble political leader—when will he arise—would have a decisive influence in the Nation. We all remember how the Irish Parliamentary minority, led by John Redmond, has been able to benefit Ireland. Another undoubted cause of our weakness is our enforced constancy to the Republican party. The Republicans believe that they have nothing to gain by befriending us, as they feel certain, whatever they commit or omit, of getting our votes. The Democrats believe they have nothing to lose by deferring to Southern prejudice, as they have no hopes whatever of winning our support. Deploring this situation, we nevertheless perceive that joining a party of which Vardaman, Tillman and Will Hames are the shining lights in out of the question. Iq the meantime, the hosts of Afro Americans driven yearly by Southern op promise into the cities of the North are essentially restoring the strength of the Northern Afro-American vote. Some day the number, the organization, the independence and intelligence of the vote will be a terror to Southern Congressmen who owe their seats to fraudulent elections and disfranchisement, and a nightmare to Northern Congressmen who are disposed to be romans in their duties to the whole Afro-American people. The Leadership of DuBois William Monroe Trotter, the frensized Boston editor, has conrived in the past three years to shark up a list of comrades of his own feather. Most of these, like Editor Trotter himself, are enraged with the consciousness of their own mediocrity; in some few others, like Editor Trotter again, this passion is envisioned, by the memory of terms disgracefully served in prison. The personnel of this company ranges from the rabid doctrinaire to the jail-bird; but all concur in hating every successful. It is impossible to please them, as they live only by opposition. They are like Balzac's journalist, who had ready for a forthcoming volume two opposite reviews, in which he assailed, with impartial ferocity, whichever side the book might take. Qualified thus for deconstruction, Trotter's gallant troops lacked only a worthy leader. This extraordinary being has at least been found. Stand forth, DuBois, for thou art the man! In infrequently blended in one person are the qualities which Editor Trotter's leader must possess, for what is required is this paradox: an unscrupulous man of ideals! Usacrupulous he must be, for he will have, in order to win Editor Trotter's attachment, to lend himself to some equivocal transactions. He must be a man of ideals, because industrial education, whose aims are too crude and honestly to be properly called ideals, is popular just now and is therefore to be cried down. Not that Editor Trotter has any ideals. He professes, for example, an ardent interest in higher education. But we leave it to the candor of our, readers whether any man unscrooly devoted to learning could write with the unouth, insegnance constantly exhibited in Editor Trotter's cribbles. By a deplorable freak of nature, which we remember meeting before in Roussieu only, DuBois is the paradox wanted. He is undoubtedly unscrupulous. He has stooped, good, logician though he is, to damn Dr. Washington's entire life of usefulness for two or three ill-considered sentences; and has recently permitted himself to utter a base label on the Afro American press. On the other hand, DuBois is undoubtedly a man of ideals. His devotion to literature and liberty, for instance, we believe to be passionate and sincere. In addition, he has two unfortunate qualities which must endure him to Editor Trotter, the qualities, we mean, of constitutional rancor and jealousy. DuBois has not always been what he now is. A conscientious, upright scholar wrote "The Philadelphia Negro." The "Souls of Black Polk," though too often injured by disease, lacrymose sentimentality, is one of the great boohes of the generation. But what matter, however robust, would not be impaired by association with Editor Trotter? It is honorable to have won this man's empathy; to have incurred his approval in almost fatal; and to have had him thank God for one's existence is an injury from which few men can easily recover. The pronounced characteristics of the DuBois type of leadership must, in the nature of the case, be personal venom and sublimated hysteria, mixed thorougly with a large quantity of craziness. Judge Benton of Kentucky, who seems never to have read the United States Constitution, has imposed a fine of $1,000 upon Benton College for violating the State law against co-education of whites and blacks. Beres has carried the case to the Court of Appeals; and if successful there will appeal to the United States Supreme Court. Before this tribunal, if the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment is to mean what it says, the college cannot help winning. But a decision in its favor would be very far reaching. If a separate school law is unconstitutional, is not a separate car law so too. Therefore, as Southern opion has consistently dominated the Supreme Court, we shall be agreeably surprised if it dares to stand up for the right in the case of Beres College. James H. Hayes confesses that he opposed reducing the South's representation until he found that the South opposed it too. This implies, what is almost incredible, that Mr. Hayes once believed the South to be in favor of curtailing its own powers. Of course, the South has always opposed reduction. But what of it? The Philadelphians would certainly have objected to Samson's pulling down the temple. Yet Samson destroyed himself just the same. And we leave it to our readers whether Mr. Hayes' change of attitude indicates, by his own confession, the independent mind of a leader who decides things for himself on their own merits, or the feeble mind of a child, which forits its judgments according to the opinions of others. Rev. Dr.William R. Huntington, in the course of a generous sermon recently at Grace Church in New York on the race problem, defended the appellation "Afro American," which has been forced into popular acceptance by our Mr. Fortune, on the ground that it helps breed a spirit of sturdy self-respect among those who call themselves by it. Not only this—it is the one truthful and specific name which we can apply to ourselves. Attorney-General Moody argues that it is the duty of the Federal government to deal with peonage, as this is a violation of the Thirteenth Amendment of the Federal Constitution. Way does Mr. Moody stop here; it is as certainly the duty of the Federal Government to punish Southern outrages upon our civil and THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1905. political rights, as these are guaranteed by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments of the Federal Constitution. The New York Journal indicates that if President Roosevelt would assume at the end of his term, the dictatorship of his Domingo he would find out that his belief in the Negro is ill-founded. We suggest that William Randolph Hurst, as our next President, would show the world how well founded are the white man's boasts of superior virtue and intellect. OUR POWER IN THE NORTH. Aro-American Vote Here a Factor Which Politicians Must Consider. Washington Correspondence of the New York Boulevard Post. The circular which the American Negro Academy has sent out, giving the subjects for its discussion at the convention which is to meet here the day before inauguration, clearly shows the line of political aspiration of the American Negro. "Migration and Distribution of the Negro Population as affecting Negro Suffrage Conditions" in the topic which Kelly Miller, a professor in Howard University here, has selected. Without knowing what he is doing, you must be knowledgeable that his striking statement is on an exceedingly important track. The Negro population is increasing rapidly in Northern cities. Philadelphia already has a number of colleges and universities by few chin of the South. As a part of the modern division of labor, certain occupations in hotels and elsewhere seem to fall to the Negro. In the Northern cities, the Negro is unable for public men who drive card the interests of his race in Congreg. Roosevelt's majority was no decisive that no class in the community can be made to have held the balance of power, but when party control was weak, the Nazi population of the Navy would undoubtedly be able to compel a certain recognition of their race claims which they have never had from the Republicans of the North. DR. DIXON GOING SOUTH. The "Pastor's Reception Committee" Will Bend Him to Jacksonville. On the evening of Feb. 22, at a conference between Dr. W. T. Dixon and the board of trustees and deacons of the Concord Baptist Church, it was agreed to recommend to the church the granting of one month's vacation to Dr. Dixon in order that he might spend the month of March to confer with the deacons of the Concord Church was ratified by the church at a special meeting held Friday evening last after divine services. Dr. and Mrs. Dixon will call via the Clyde Line on or about March 6, and will be at the church of Bethel and Mrs. J. Milwaukee of Bethel Baptist Church. Dr. Dixon goes. South under the auspices of the "Pastor's Reception Committee," of which Charles J. Crowder is the president and founder. Mr. Crowder says that the committee will begin the genesis of Father and Mrs. Drona's trip. Dr. Dixon prescheduled at both services of the church last Sabbath to large audiences. The collection at the evening service, 7:30 p.m., was held in Manhattan, who filled the Concord pulpit during Dr. Dixon's recent illness. Mr. and Mrs. Eugene E. Goldwin of South Elliott Place, Chicago, will also Col. P. Zeno and C. J. Crowder. Womens a day will be observed at the Concord Baptist Church on Sunday. March 11 at the town club women out of town will speak morning and evening there. South Will Be Forced to Adopt Rosevelt's Position as to Negro- The President is safer and rounder as a prescriber than as a chief executive. That is to say, generally speaking, and his attribution in relation to the arbitration treaties, along with his address to the New York Republican club this week, offers a case in point, albeit with some ambiguity. It is rugged truth which the country hears from him. For example:— "Nother I nor any other man can say that any given way of approaching that person is the most appropriate perfect solution, but we can safely say that there can never be such solution at all unless we approach it with the effort of a man, a woman, a man and a man, and to demand from them in return just and fair treatment for others. Our effort should be to secure to each man, whatever his color, equality of opportunity, equality of treatment before The South can wrestle with the Negro problem from now until it is worse entangled than it is, and in the end will be forced into the adoption of the position which has been promoted by Roosevelt, and which has before been presented with great force not only by the Southern blahp quoted by the President, but by Prof. John Spencer Bassett of Trinity College, North Carolina, and others of similar high standing in Southern education circles. Phil Waters Best Known and Hardest Working Attache at Charleston. From the Wheeling (W. Va.) Daily News. There is a horde of attaches at the legal lature, some working much, others little, and others less, but the best known and hardest working is Phil Waters, the clerk of the taxation and finance committee. He is one of the local leaders in matters political in Charleston, but his field is by and large in the South. The State, for he has been everywhere that the average politician goes, and knows almost everybody. Everybody knows Phil, too, and the office where he holds forth is the Mecca for the hunters of information and knowledge, and a very good disia and Pandora's box of taleridosopic recollections. Bref B. C. Bruce at Maele Hall RED BANK, N.

CAN CONGRESS FIX ELECTORS' QUALIFICATIONS To the Editor of the New York Age: I have read the article in The Ank of Mormon, E. A. Johnson and Joseph Man- aging in which they endeavored to show that Congress has a Constitutional right to fix the qualifications for election in the several States. I regret to my that I not feel comfortable in that this right is imposed in Congress. If I am right in this statement, we need a Constitutional Amendment taking an equitable suffrage system for every State of the Union; then dealing fairly by all races. Or else, we need a Constitution taking the power of Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment, which confers the discretionary power upon the respective States as to whether they will disfranchise the Afro-American or not. J. O. Nixon, Wilmington, N. C., Feb. 17, 1960 [Arkansas] and upon similarly by Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment and peremptorily by Section 1 of the Fifteenth Amendment. We do not need either the new Amendment or the repugn of Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment. All the States are accomplished by the Fifteenth Amendment. En. the New York Aos. ] YOUNG WOMEN ORGANIZE First Public Meeting of the Y. W. C. A. at Mt. Olivet. BATSON-MILLAR STAR CONCERT Bethel Church Crowded - Chorister Johnson Gets Great Ovation. Encouraged by the large, enthusiastic audiences which have greeted them at every point of their tour of Greater New York and velocity, Miss Flora Baton, the "Double Vowed Queen of Song," and Gerald Millar, the "Premier Basso," appeared before a packed audience in Bethel A. M. E. Church, Brooklyn, on Wednesday day, in honor of the efficient services of Mr. Charles A. Johnson, chorister of Bethel Church choir. The popularity of both recipient and artist was attested by the fact that long before the hour set for the concert to begin, nearly all in the spacious auditorium was occupied. Mr. C. A. Johnson was master of ceremonies, and he received a rousing welcome when he appeared upon the platform to introduce Miss Carr, who gave a fine piano selection. Mr. Charles Watersan a soprano from Gephas delighted the audience by a reading and recitation from Dunbar's "Lyrics of Lowly Life." The great outburst of applause came at the announcement of a soprano solo by Miss Baton, who sang in a high soprano note, clear and birdlike and responded to an enchanting chorus. Mr. Gerard Miller followed in a rich bass solo entitled "Deep," which was thoroughly enjoyed. Quite ariple of laughter mingled with applause swept over the audience at the announcement of a solo by Mr. John A. Thompson ("our Johnle"), but Mr. C. A. Johnson, who he met with his harmonica instead of his voice and called his solo = humanitie. Mr. Millar gave several character im- perations which kept the audience in uproar with laughter. He called Gephas a berber barber by a dramatic f- tation—"The Having Manac." Miss Batson and Mr. Millar manga a duet and then Mr. Millar read selections from some of his favorite books, and seemed to delight the audience most was entitled "De Jim Crow Law." Miss Batson sang "Woman's Way is Always Best" and the concert came to a close. N. N. D. Announcement. Mr. Theodore.

REMARKABLE PROGRESS OF THE MAORI PEOPLE In Dau's Review for January is printed as an article written by Mr. I. k. Doane, representative for New Zealand at St Louis, in which the writer describes "New Zealand's Progress as Exhibited at St Louis." Among other things be says: "The ancient habits of the most interesting and progressive of all the dark skinned races, the Moor, no preponderance white people, are remarkably realistic and unique carvings and paintings. It should be mentioned that the Moor long since passed the savage of the highest stages of modern civilization. The contrast between the position of the Moor in 1840 and 1904 constitutes the most remarkable progress in racial development that has been achieved. The Moor is a race. On the prior date the Moor was a savage, clever and enterprising, but ferocious and cruel, and a cannibal. To day he tells the soil, spends English hours in school and college, where they study for the highest professions, such as medicine, law and teaching. Contact with a highly civilized community has made Moor to useful channels, while Christianity has developed the best institutes of a fine race of people. To-day the Moor, a man of magnificent physique, generous impulse and wisdom, adds with the white man, a well-known comrade in the building of a new nation. Four Moor occupy positions in the New Zealand Legislature and one is a member of the Moor's militia and a magnificent tribute to the colonial abilities of the British people." Pre-Lenten Recital and Assembly. The pre-Lenten recital and assembly given by Prof. Walter P. Craig last Wednesday evening was a notable musical event. Despite Mr. Craig's reputation as a first-class artist, even his admirers were impressed by the excellence of the pre-gram, which included several numbers from 5. Colordidge-Taylor. The numbers were as follows: *Recance* (Harp and Violin) Thomas *Best Drum Beat* (Bartone) Craig *Best Drum Beat* (Bartone) Coleridge Taylor *Ave Maria* (Morgan) BURLEIGH *Grounded Harp, Violin and Organ Accompaniment. After the completion of the recital, a program of 15 dances was carried out. The program is presented, representing not only the best professional and business life in New Boston, but also the same class in Philadelphia, Washington and Newport. The program is presented on the boxes and on the floor was elegant. Y. M. C. A. Dramatic Club Produces "Thisher." The Y. M. C. A. dramatic club, which had been rehearsing continuously for the presentation of "Thibber" was doubly repaid Wednesday and Thursday, Feb 15 and 16, by the large crowds that greeted them. "Thibber" was written by Prof. W. M. I. Hammond, a young playwright, play in the Virginia and illustrates the struggles for social position of a daisy maid. She is treated at first with contempt, but her father providentially comes into a fortune, which instantly admits his daughter into society. The leading part, Mrs. Dawville, was played by Maggie Lansing, a young actress. "Percy Dawville." Frances Parker as "Thibber" was the favorite of the audience, and Mr. Dance as "Prof. Catter," dessert mention as do Glen, Sims as the "butter" and Mitsa Davis as the "maid." The audience selected selections and at times the whole dramatic club appeared as a chorus. Prof. Thomas left for Washington Monday morning. Promenade Concert and Drama. Promenade Concert and Drama.

HOW WE ARE BARRED FROM ARMY PROMOTION HOW WE ARE BARRED FROM ARMY PROMOTION The article contributed to The Aur of Dec. 10, 1804, by Presley Holiday, surgeon major of the 10th U.S. Cavalry, or "Afro-American Barred from Army Promotion" is in many respects, deceitful not only because the author is as to facts, as to poesy some what, as to hurt on the subject discussed. The article he writes as follows: "I am personally acquainted with a large number of men who were commissioned in the volunteers from among non-commissioned officers of the colored regulars and I have thus far met one who felt that he was unjustly by not commissioning in the regular Inquiry developed the fact that he never asked for a commission, and a close acquaintance further convinced me that he lacked the necessary education to perform the full duties of a commissioned officer, and he knew this as well, since this indignation not receiving as he never sought and which he was not capable of holding." The real truth of the matter is this. Several months before the volunteers left the Philippines for the States to be mustered out, the Colonel of the 45th U. B. Volunteers (colored) sent me requesting him to take there his age. If he was married or single, and whether or not he desired a commission in the regular army. As to the question of commission, I think it would be safe to say that not more than three officers would be considered in the military step, the colored officers considered this all sufficient application, and this it proved to be in the case of white volunteer regiments. All colons of volunteers were allowed to designate the best officers for the regular army, and for commissions in the regular array. Many white officers were selected in this way, but not a single colored officer was given an examination. The colored officers were disappointed that none of them were ordered up to the Philippines. Cal. Why these serio-comic inquiries as to age, marital condition, etc., if no examination was intended for these officers in my humble judgment no argument is here necessary. It was a clear case that the boldest species of unwarred men in a great department of the Government. It does not require great capacity to presume, as does Bergman-Major Holliday, the incompetence of the volunteer corps in the battle of the stoned officers of the regular army. The only fair way was to apply the test. Fair play was all the volunteers asked and intelligent free men should be content with the training of the officers of the 49th regiment who were graduates from some of our best high schools and colleges, bedded others who were more or less educated. F. R. Steward of Harvard, Wm. M. Hawkins of Washburn, E. D. Bass of Lincoln, Thomas Campbell of Lincoln Institute, Mo., and D. J. Glimmer of the mental tests for commissions in the United States army. The sergeant-major has shown himself very distractedly concerned that the colored volunteer officers should be able to perform "the full duties" of commission officers, since they are not so objectionable as the average layman just what is meant by the full duties of commissioned officers. Holliday may have had in mind, apart from the ordinary routine, certain technical or scientific duties which many officers are trained to perform, especially those who were commissoned from the ranks and from civil life. The military school of Leavenworth, Kansas, was particularly designed for the instructor, who must never attend it. Again we quote from the above mentioned articles. "Our people should know that the galant old sergeants with years of honest and faithful service to the nation, who generally secure commissions in volunteer regiments and generally go east on muster out to tell of their unfair treatment, cannot be held accountable because they lack the education and culture so essential to an officer of the army of a great Nation like the United States, not outstanding their gallantry and long service. The high educational standard set up by the sergeant-major for "the old sergeants" as a condition precedent to their entering the army reminds me of a case in point. The sergeant major, with a acer, charges 'the old sergeants' with going east on mutterpunt, as volunteer officers, and making complaints of 'unfair treatment' of the sergeants, was any general complaint by these officers. The truth is that they and the other volunteer officers from civil life were entirely non passive relative to so vital a matter. That these colored officers were not permitted so be examined for commission was, in view of the recent commendable record of the colored troops, the basest ingratiate and a piece of the grotesque injustice. And this is the main contention of the author of "Army Door (Judge R. H. Terrell) and he is correct. Reference by way of criticism to the court martial and dismissal in the colored volunteer regiments come with bad grief from a colored soldier who should know something of the difficulties by which the colored officers were beet. The colonel and staff officers of these regiments being white, it was due largely to the good sense and fact of the colored officers of the army, and to the court-mattials in this regiment than they are in many white volunteer regiments. The 40th regiment was particularly unfortunate in its colosse, Wm. H. Beck, who was a man of crampy temptation, mines the qualities of a soldier. As colonel of the regiment, he was accused neither太 nor courtiary, and was without affection for his colored officers, whom he but 'poorly supported even in their efforts to maintain the discipline of their commands. Had he remained all of the remalder of his natural life as an officer, he would have been an ingly he was devoted, but had been well vested of his military rank, the army would not have suffered.

YET, COURT WAS SEVERE February Hustings of Richmond Imposed Unusually Hard Sentences on Unusual Number of Afro-Americans—True Reformers' Directors' Meeting—Society News Richmond, Va., Feb. 29. — The report for 1904 just issued by the auditor of public accounts for this State is interesting in that it shows that the Afro-Americans of Virginia are gradually acquiring more and more of the State's soil. In 1908, of the more than 26,000,000 acres of land in the State, the Afro-Americans owned one-twenty-sixth. Now they own 1,777,571 acres, or a little less than one-twentieth. The total value of this farm land, with its buildings is $7,709,934. Besides, we own town lots with buildings to the value of $6,560,937. Our personal property is assessed at $4,993,838. This makes $19,344,884 the total value of assessed Afro-American property; real and personal, in the State. To this property which is listed for taxation there is to be added the values of the many churches and their furnishings, twenty-seven private schools and colleges; with their grounds, buildings, furnishings and appliances; run up into the millions. Then there are the Y. B. C. A. buildings, old folk homes, ornamental buildings, other masonry institutions which are not listed for taxing, all approximating $3,600,000 in value, which swells the grand total to about $38,000,000. This is a mighty big showing for a people who forty years ago did not own even their shoes. The total assessment in Richmond is $1,318,638 realty and personality; and this does not include the thirty substantial church buildings valued at from five to fifty thousand dollars each, two fully equipped hospitals, two schools for higher education, an orphan asylum, the Y. M. C. A. building and an old folk's home, which added would make the total building cost $200,000. What figures loudly what Afro-American thrift and push are doing, and are an ever ready refutation of the charge that the Afro-Americans of Virginia are shiftless and indolent. Notwithstanding this increase in wealth, the February term of the Hustings Court of Richmond city adjourned yesterday and has gone on record as one of the seventen in punishing Afro-American criminals in the city's history. While there were no convictions for capital offences, some ten or twelve Afro-American men and boys were given terms in the pen-tentency for fighting in the city. One lone Afro-American juryman, Geo St. Julian Stephens—was in the entire panel of twenty-four and in the empaneling of every jury for a trial he was offender left off than put on. A meeting of the board of directors of the Grand Fountain of True Reformers' will be held at the general offices in this city next week. This will be the second meeting which will ultimately occur in April; but, as the members of the board are scattered over a great stretch of territory, and the expense of coming to Richmond is great, the executive board deemed it wise to have the members take advantage of the reduced round trip rates to Washington incident to the inauguration. The event of last week was the celebration on Thursday night of the silver wedding of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Hamilton, who received their friends and acquaintances from nine to twelve o'clock. An excellent menu was served the guests. Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton were the recipients of a number of costly presents, in addition to a half gallon ice jar filled with silver coins. The Hyacinth Circle held its first installation exercises at the residence of Cornellus Scott last Thursday evening. The address was delivered by Rev. D. Webster Davis.

The Friday Evening Literary and Art Circle met at the residence of Mrs Edward A. Stephens last week. The evening was devoted to art and business, after which supper was served. The report of the committee in charge of the St. Valentine party for the benefit of the St. Orphan Asylum who wished it a memorial was raised. Prof. James Hugo Johnston, presdeleg of the Virginia Normal and College Institute, was in the city Saturday. He said that the present season of the school has been the most successful in its history. the attendance being larger and the work of the students better than ever before. George Washington Early, also presdeleg of the Savings Bank died at Richmond Hospital Saturday morning. James M. Jaaper continues dangerously ill and little hope is entertained of his recovery.

Outside of the United Order of True Inferiors, the Pullman Palace Car Porters and their associates make up the largest fraternal Afro-American society extant.
