INAUGURAL GAYETY Remote States Send Throngs to Washington Intent on Good Times. Charleston Collector Denies That the Afro-American Hinders National Progress—South Indebted to Him—Patriotic Service—Don't Cut South's Representation. WASHINGTON, D. C.,—March 8, the Nation's capital is strung with strangers today as never before. Among them are thousands of Afro-American visitors who have come from all parts of the country to witness the Inauguration of Theodore Roosevelt. Distinguished Afro-American men and beautiful Afro-American women are here from every place in the Union, it seems, ready to participate in the Literary and Great Quadrangular celebration. When turns he meets some man or woman who has come from some far away city to pay tribute to our President and to have a good time as the mind inclines. Washington, the city is Part of tonight. It is full of life, excitement and color, and joy of vigor supreme. The weather has been glorious to day and the people have lived in the streets, going from public building to public building; and many have seen for the first time those three great National bodies, the House of Representatives in session. Those of us who are here all the time, taking advantage of the presence of our friends from afar, have visited places of interest that we have not seen for a decade. We have long lived in this place since we have one other House of Congress in session before to day. Imaginary week began with a lecture by Dr. W. D. Crum at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. A splendid crowd are scambled to hear this much talked of man, who is the subject of his appointment as Collector at Charleston. His audience was enthusiastic in its reception of the speaker and his speech. "Is the Negro a Hirdance to the Program of the Nation?" was his response, speaking at all times in a manner quite in keeping with the patriotic occasion so full of hope and promise for all of the oppressed people of our country. The meeting was provided by Bishop Hugh McCarthy, the pastor of the church, opened with prayer and Hon. John C. Dancy introduced the speaker in his own splendid way. Among other things Dr Crum called "The Negro," in his enclosed biography, "the man and two one half centuries on this continent, took up the religion of the white man and he tried his best to serve him with all his might. The American Indian, on the contrary, refused to adopt either his religion or his culture. The result is that the Indian is very much out of the scheme of American civilization. "The Negro was made to do all that it expected of a slave, but in spite of his sorrows, in spite of his lack of opportunities, he is the most forging of people, the most oppression, and when I am asked if I am a menace to the progress of this Nation I wish to enter a solemne denial right here that he is a menace to the peace of the Nation or a blundrance to its progress. slavery was a canker in the American Nation, but abolition came, and a new era sprang up. This strenuous move was made on the part of a God fearing people who had religion in their soul and be loved that all human belongs should be free; this was this movement that caused the birth of Lincoln, and with Abraham Lincoln as its lord queen and we have reason to believe that its natural successor will carry out that leader's great purpose. As Lincoln said, in that slogan that marked the beginning of the great strife that was to come: "This society cannot extail half slave and half free; that phrase was the death knell of slavery. "Lincoln called for 75,000 troops to put down the rebellion. The Southern left bobbed him his faithful slave to protect his women and children and never yet had a trust been found falterless. Then it was found that he played a part in that war. He was not a great man; he had no country which he could call his own country, no flag which he could call the flag of his country. These stars and these stripes meant for him only that he sprang to the front to show that by country he could willing to do his part to save that country which had been the author of his mercy. And I maintain that the man who is willing to stand up and be shot down for a deserves every consideration of manhood; and he ready today to prove that the same fortune existed then. That being so, the Ameri- can Negro cannot be a mess to the progress of this Nation. And I wish to say to you that there is no man within the hearing of my voice tonight who would put up in his rightmost wrench to punish an outrage on American womanhood "At the close of the great struggle between the North and the South, the terms were magnanimous from the great General Grant to the great General Lee. There was then peace, and there is peace now, but for us there is no peace yet. We will be in harmony with the white people of this country, and I ask of them that they do not harm us and judge us on our merits. It took them a thousand years to reach civilization, it took hundreds before they dared demand the Magna Charta. The faithful people of my race gave two hundred fifty years of their strength to the Southern people so seem to me that our Southern brothers to be grateful for what if an enemy gave us assistance. The Fourteenth mentorship gave us assistance. The Fourteenth mentorship is largely on paper. All kind of Congress is that it give us what Amendment intended and carry out provisions. Cutting down Southern presentation will not cure the civil of the rights of the Negro that Amendment. Such a course is really palliative is not curative. "After the trial." The New York Age. Spain, which was something like sending a big boy to whip a small boy. But it looked for a time as if Spain would use let our troops get up that blenny hill of Juan Spain. Then there were even the brawny shoulder and the black bone of the troops of the 5th Army, the Caucasian army, that hill, plaited the flag of our country on the Spanish block house. They saved the day there, and let the foe come again and you will find us as ready as them to show that the Negro is not only willing to battle for his rights but for his country. "We have 85 per cent of our race in agriculture and 13 per cent in the production," he said, for only by intelligent hard, honest work is it possible for us to prove that we are entitled to American citizenship. There is no man of our race who has done more to show us the right way to go about this than Booker T. Washington, and you can find no better man to follow than he. His wit, courage and com- "Among our race there are 300 editors working 500 weeks; 500 authors have printed 1,400 books, and we have $300,000 in the navy banks of the country. If that is not a good record for forty years, we are going to make that a like a scarcity in a field. It is the false notion of social equality that we hear. It is a scarcity, a humbug. We do not ask social equality, but we ask and demand civil rights. All we ask of the Nation is to give us a fair chance, and if we do not measure up to the standard of American citizenship, we have no right to demand civil rights. I but declare that the Negro has all the elements of true manhood. They are dormant, but give him the opportunity and they will spring forth into life and activity and the Negro will prove to be a high level of American citizenship. We have 400 children in charge of a very worthy valued at $40,000,000. We have 400 children in charge of 2,700 Negro teachers; 300 Negro doctors who never make mistakes, or if they do, they bury them, like their brothers, and 1,000 Negro lawyers who handle our case. Our record in good and we ask, but our rights are revised Constitution of our country. At the close of his address Dr. Crum was warmly applauded and was forced to undergo the ordal of holding a reception so that the people who had followed his long and important fight with so much violence and so much occasion was a great triumph for the man as well as for the cause which he represents.

Anderson, the most prominent Negro Republican in New York State, is to be appointed by President Roosevelt to succeed Charles H. Trent as Collector of Internal Revenue at New York, at a salary of $4,500 a year. The appointment is to be a personal one of the President's, and was opposed by the New York County Republican organization to the extent that the organization favored Mr. Trent for re-appointment. When they left have Friday night for Washington they still wilt in their fight for Mr. Trent, realizing that the President woudoubtedly have his way. Evidently the matter was so bad before CHARLES W.

They were not originally favorable to the appointment, but all of them like Anderson, and when the President informed them that he wished to appoint the well known Negro politician all of them acquiesced Chairman Odell was informed of the matter before he left for Europe and made no objection to the plan. Anderson has been one of his most valuable lieutenants, and his selection by the President was in no respect distasteful to the State Chairman. The appointment of Anderson is recognized as being made for the purpose of offsetting the appointment of William D. Crum, a "Negro, as Collector of the Port at Barclays. It has been frequently asked by the Secretary of State, as President in discussing this appointment that the President would not appoint a Negro to such a position in the North.

Midnight's Musings in the Baltimore Afro-American Leafer. I want to pay my response to the "Voice of the Negro." It is indeed a free magazine, and I have nothing to my against it. It is a literary gem for the Negro. I had the pleasure of visiting the office while I was at Atlanta last week, and you will take my pastor on me when I tell you that I have a new thing that I did not learn in Budapest, how it is a shame that men like Editors' Bowen and Barber should be humiliated like fry fish such as I am. The office of the publication is in the Austell Building, and this is a fine building. Hertel and Jenkins the publishers, and the colored men in question the officers of office on the 9th floor of the building. I have a little hard for a man to walk up so high, so they have the floors which go up. I hope you will understand what I mean by the go up and down floors. I heard them called elevators. I did not count them, but there is one certain one upon which freight and Negroes must ride, and who who wants to go up to see the editors and who must walk for the freight elevator. I am not encouraging this kind of stuff, and it strikes me that if the publishers and editors are to do business with Negroes then they should move out in a building where we can do business with them. Get an office where representative men and women of our race can go without being humiliated or insulted. This can be doneNegro is to be supported by Negroes not going to complain too much, but I want to drop this broad hint, and with a while, and then I will have more to say about these things.

On March 4 Theodore Roosevelt of New York was inaugurated as the twenty-sixth President of the United States. He had already served as President in succession to President William McKinley, who was annexed as Buffalo in September, 1891, quite four years ago. President Roosevelt began his term of office with the good) wishes of by far a larger portion of, his fellow citizens than any of his predecessors, except George Washington, who occupies and will always occupy in our history a place by himself,—a type of patriot rare in the annals of mankind. But in the past four years President Roosevelt so conducted the affairs of the Government, in its foreign and domestic relations, as to win the confidence and respect of so overwhelming a majority of the American people that, when he stood for the highest office in their gift last November, his respectable opponent was buried beneath a sea of ballots. And since his election he has so demanded himself by magnanimous word and act as to disarm his party forces and wring words of cheer and confidence from William Jennings Bryan, the spectator leader of the Democratic hosts, and John Sharp Williams, the minority leader of the Democracy in the House of Representatives. Even the suiciding, sarcastic voice of Benjamin Ryan-Tillman has been glued into silence. Only the discordant and vulgar voices of Governor Vardanman of Mississippi and Jefferson Davis of Arkansas are heard in the land. For the moment the rancor of partisan contention and faction appears to be hushed or lost in the vast shout of acclamation. Even the lynchers appear to have vanished from the face of the situation. May so fail a beginning, have as fair an ending. And the Afro-American people—who love him second only to the maryland Lincoln and who trust him above all the Presidents since the Great Emancipation—and this greeting to President Roosevelt that his Administration may be one of peace with all the world and of greater National prosperity, strength and glory. Charles W. Anderson. President Roosevelt has sent to the Senate the nomination of Charles W. Anderson to be collector of Internal Revenue for New York. The appointment of Mr. Anderson is radical departure from established rule and precedent as to command the attention of the whole country. No other President has given an appointment of that high character in the domestic service in the North to an Afro-American. Such appointments have heretofore been given to Afro-Americans in the Southern States, two such—Henry A. Rucker of Georgia and Joseph E. Lee of Florida—now serving by appointment of President McKinley. This is easily explained on the ground that in the past, from 1868 to 1900, the Afro-Americans dominated such republican party machinery as existed in the Southern States, long after they had reused to cast any vote for Presidential Electors and Congressmen, and were therefore able, in a large measure, to control the Federal appointments in those States. The Hanna crushed the life out of the remaining fragments of this Afro-American domination, for Senator Hanna placed a white man in control of the party organization of every State in the South except Florida, where Joseph E. Lee was too strong to be unhorsed, and was Mississippi where there was no white Republican to take the place of the late James Hill even after he had thrown himself down. The Afro-Americans of the North and West had no independent organization; they belong to the general party organization, and were so far a minority as to command no consideration by the Republican leaders who controlled the Federal patronage. Here and there they received a diplomatic or consular position, there being now one such in the diplomatic and five in the consular service. They did the voting on election day, but had no voice in Conventions where nominations were made, and so were ignored for the most part in the distribution of party favors. President Hoover swelt decided three years ago to change this condition, but the favorable opportunity to do so has just come to him, out of the suit out, Mr. Anderson for the In addition, high office of collector of Internal Revenue for New York, President Roosevelt has an eye to the faithful public service Mr. Anderson has performed in the revenue service under General Michael Kerwin, as chief clerk of the Treasury department of New York State under Treasurer A. B. Colvin, and as Race Track Commissioner by appointment of Governor Black and of Governor Odell, as well as distinguished service as one of the best and most effective campaign orators in the State. Mr. Anderson also represents the Afro-Americans of New York State on the Republican State Committee. The New York Evening Post says of the appointment of Mr. Anderson: If it is President Roosevelt plan to reward the various elements which aided him to achieve his unprecedented victory, the Negroes are certainly as much entitled to spoils as are the Irish editors who are getting consulship. But proper political recognition of their leaders will be an immense stimulus to the Negroes everywhere, and an important factor in the success of the good citizen is to put some of the duties of citizenship upon those qualified to discharge them. It will be interesting to observe the attitude the white South will take on Mr. Anderson's appointment. It has yelled itself blaze in the face over such appointments in the South, one one of its pet objections being that no such appointments were made in the North. Of a truth, may we my to Editor Clark Howell and his cohabits_all things come to them who wait, and the end is not yet. Churchs Reach! New Build Stores & Productions In another column of Tum Tum to-day we reproduce an editorial article from the Moon Baptist Truth, entitled, "We Now Have Enough Churches," which is full of pity and momentum, and should command the curious attention of our hubs and all others in authority in our churches. The Baptist Truth, we assume, speaks particularly for the Baptist denomination, but what it says is equally true of all of our church denominations. It will not be disputed, we believe, that we have enough church, edifice for the present. During the past forty years we have spent a vast amount of our energies and savings in building churches; and this was necessary, as we owned but few at the close of the war. Few people know or realize how very extensive this church building work among Afro-Americans has gone on, and how much of our energies and savings has been expanded in it during the past forty years. The latest statistical place the total number of churches among Baptists, Methodists and Presbyterians at 23,812, and the total member ship at 2,186,578; the Baptists alone having 15,614 churches and 1,635,300 members. If these 23,812 churches be rated at an average value of $1,000, we have a total of $25,812,000. The church property owned by Episcopalians, Congregationalists and other small groups will easily swell the total to $30,000,000. That a people, starting empty-handed out of a slave condition forty years ago, and persistently labelled as being half barbarian and utterly without morality, should create this body of non-productive wealth, besides maintaining themselves, educating their children by taxation in the public schools, and accumulating some $450,000,000 of real and personal wealth, makes one of the most remarkable showings in the history of mankind in ancient or modern times. We now have enough church edifices to meet the demand for the next twenty-five years. This fact should be impressed upon the people by those in authority over them, and they should be exhorted without ceasing to turn their energies and savings to the greater purchasing of homes, to the extension of their mercantile ventures and to the building of factories, in order to support as they should the churches that they have. More than that this business development is in a greater degree becoming a vital question in order to furnish profitable employment for our young men and women and to sustain our professional people, such as lawyers, doctors, editors and the like, and this is made urgent because such employment is not to be had among white business men to any appreciable extent,—in banks, store factories, offices, and the like. Outside of teaching school there is very little employment that our women can secure; and in the other polite employments our men have very small opportunity. This is also true of the skilled trades. In which we must enlarge our independent footing as bus contractors in order to overcome our exclusion by the trades unions from the skilled trade employments. Indeed, the conditions are becoming so circumscribed in all employments for Afro Americans that independent business development is becoming a matter of life and death. There will be little change for the better until we have developed more capitalists, mercantile establishments, manufacturers and contractors of our own. This is being done, the foundation has been laid, greater and more rapid development is what the necessities of the race demand in loud tones. We have the churches; most of them are paid for, they are a necessary and valuable but unproductive asset, that's to say, they pay no cash dividends; now let us bend our energies and surplus earnings to the greater stimulation of our business development, and if we shall show the same earnestness, patience and self-affection in this work in the next forty years that we have shown in church building in the past forty, the change for the better in the condition and status of the race a half century hence will be marvelous indeed. Dearth of Southern Statesmanship President Alderman of the University of Virginia has been holding up the Southern statesmanship of the past with that of the present, to the displacement of the latter, and has aroused the leftof Senator Balley of Texas, he of the Mississippi Kuix Kauk plan, and the other living alleged statesman, of whom he is not the smallest. But President Alderman is right. The South has produced not one stateman since the War of the Rebellion John Sharp Williams of Mississippi is the brightest and Benjamin Ryan Tillman of South Carolina is the darkest object, lesson visible to the naked eye this time they are unliked in temperament and intellectuals, and so fairly represent the two extremes of height and depth of present day Southern statesmanship, and there have been none better or worse than they produced since the war. The Goddons, Hamptons, Georges, Vances, Morgans and their pettiferous but able sort came over from slavery days. And the whole school of them, from the school of Caloub, Hayne and Benton to that of Tillman, Carmack and Balley, has been on the wrong side of every question; in Nation and State, a disturbing force and a menace to the National honor and weal. Chancellor Walter B. Hill of the U.S. university of Georgia, in a long article in the Atlanta Constitution, presents the attitude of Senator Balley towards President Alderman's expoition of the situation, and asks, "Have we freedom of opinion in the South?" Certainly not. There has been no such thing in the South since 1840. "Think as we do, act as we do, we will extract or murder you"—has been the iron law of the South for quite half's century and has produced, logically, a long procession of intellectual dwarfs and moral objections who have kept the Repub- NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1904. he is an agent of sturess and war and war and tumult themselves take the proactive manoeuvre. Chancellor Wilson makes a strong plan for tolerance in the basic philosophy of the Southern bind and heart, and God grant that there be a sympathetic response to it by the warped education, maintenance and literature of the South. Indeed, there must be such a response in the feministate of the South, or the course followed by it since Henry W. Grady had down the law for it in his "New South" will ultimately produce a condition out of which there will be no way except through blood. The enlargement of this law of Justice and hate by such as Thomas Nelson Page and Thomas Dixon in the domains of unmitigated romance intensifies the danger. How much better for all we would have been if the intellectual South had, made Bishop Atticus A. Gaywood, "My brother in Black" its basic creed honored by Henry Grady's "New South." But— "Not even the future o'er the past has power: What has been been?" It is natural that the Athena Constitution, in commenting on Chancellor Hill's article, should make a strong defense for post-ballot alleged Southern stateship, because its editor, the Hon. Clark Howell, sincerely believes he is himself a Southern statesman and now seeks to be Governor of Georgia. The Time Still Important. The New York Times still chooses to worry viscerally _over_ what it considers our moral laws in printing advertisements of bakehouses. The Times, for the sake of its own peace of mind, should have read with deeper attention our editorial on this subject. It would have been relieved to learn that the desire to think at and improve upon the divine image in which we are made, far from being peculiar to the Afro American people, is characteristic of universal mankind. Do not "beauty doctors" flourish in America and Europe? Do not white women have their nub noses altered to Roman, their faces grafted with new nails, their straight e-brows arched, and their ears of plebeian dimensions cut over to resemble the conventional "pearl". At the thousand and one mysteries of the society idly toilest we dare only to hint. We should not be shocked to hear that the editor of the Times himself condescends occasionally to accept an electrical message. The truth is the Afro American's ambition to change his personal appearance. If it is a falling, it is a failing common to the entire human species; and is not the Times, as it has been troubled by the manifestation of this supposed weakness in one person, bound by logic to be distressed by the manifestation of the same weakness in all people? Perhaps the Times will initiate a crusade against all tampering with the human form divine. If so, it will soon find itself facing the dilemma which is said to torment the priests of the Greek Catholic Church: to deface or not to deface the divine image, by pacing the finger nails. In the meantime, we still insist that the Times has impertinently labbed in the business affairs of THE AGE. Easy Marks Abused Seth Bullock's cowpunchers from the West country took part in the inauguration parade last week in Washington, and last Thursday did Pennsylvania avenue on cow points. The New York World correspondent says: "They got clothes lines and made them into laces and put up the avenue up everything in sight. The result of the experiment shows that it is dangerous to ride an automobile, reckless to ride a policeman, but bumbling division to ride a German. But it will not always be that way. The Afro-American will wake up some time, not remote, and when he roped or otherwise impeded upon he will so recess it as to make it dangerous business. There are good signs that that necessary temper is growing in him. It should become as dangerous for cowpunchers, hoodlums, and their sort to take Liberals with Afro-Americans, in all parts of the country, as it is now to do with Indians, Italians, and the like. The night of race prejudice in the South fades into twilight in the North. In New York city, for instance, we have many privileges, but quite a few hardships. The most serious of these is our inability, how ever well to do and respect we may be, to rent homes in suitable localities. We are forced into houses whose lack of sanitary improvements is as perilous to our health as their neighborhood is perilous to the morals of our sons and daughters. To remedy this condition, our really companies have been formed, and they are now to be assisted by philanthropy. Mr. Henry Phipps is to build model companies for Afro Americans on sixteen lots situated in West Sixty-third and West Sixty-fourth streets. This is the encouraging beginning of an imperative reform. The Independent says "there ought to be enough white men" in North Carolina to defeat the vicious proposition to divide the school fund between the races. This is a generous view not justified by the recent history of North Carolina. It will require a constitutional amendment to do it, and the Federal Supreme Court would probably declare it null and void, on the ground that it is impossible to define the amount of taxes paid by each race. Even if the tax is a direct one it will be held that the man who owns no taxable property assists the man who does. Dr. William D. Crum, in his lecture at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Washington, D. C. last week, added his influential voice to our side on the question of Southern representation. He said: "Cutting down Southern representation will not cure the evil of representation of the Negro. Such a course is merely palliative, it is not curature." Stormy diap hand. Approximately died to death in the Civil War. His incarnation put him on request of Afro American hold in passage no longer. Now we hear their several white whoever god, their families, who had been taken from Indiana to the Tazee Valley, Michigan, were held there in bandage and own held up as night in jail to prevent their escape. A indictment turn is given to the reports by the complaint of an Afro-American postmaster in Michigan that the United States Government is holding him in passage, so it will not permit him to regale the "white elephant" which he finds office to be. The Alexanderda (Va.) Home Newspaper, who cander we delight in even when it is directed against ourselves, retracts in an editorial this week its accusations against Prof. Rescoe, Cochilling Bruce, which were. If may be, entirely on what was told about him by the Washington Post. "Since then," may this mainly reading, "we have had the pleasure of reading Mr. Bruce's articles in full and do not hesitate to say that the Post either wilfully or formally put. Mr. Bruce in an entirely false light, and we much regret, having allowed ourselves to be thus trapped." The strenuous versatility of President Roosevelt has evoked in certain quarters much irreverent comment, some horrific critics having gone so far as to institute that he be a "jack of all trades" and so on. But such persons are now put out of connescence. Louis Michel, the Swat of Baltimore, has come sublimely to the recue. Malice itself could not resist the following undying ditch which his muse, half-isarticulate with admiring awe, manages to gain forth. The white South appears to be willing to stand on the platform laid down by President Roosevelt, in his Lincoln Day address, if it can; but it will actually stand on no platform it does not itself make. The gods made it mad more than fifty years ago, and it is still mad. THE AGE VINDICATED. Committee Will Ask President to Acq on 15th, Not 14th, Amendment. The following circular letter has come into our hands. It is chiefly interesting as a revelation of the fact that certain people who have been rabily advocating a reduction of Southern representation as a remedy for disfragmentation seem to have been for some time of Tink Auk opionion that such action should be suicidal, and to have been convinced that any action taken should be used on the Fifteenth Amendment. Tink Auk is grafted that its campaign to prevent the abandonment of the Fifteenth Amendment is being recognised more and more as wise and far-digested, and will heartily follow any action along the lines followed in this letter. jorron.

Appointments at West Point and Annapolis. To the Editor of the New York Age. An item from Washington in the New York Tribune of Feb. 20 said that Congressman Hull of Iowa had applied for the appointment of two Chinese as cadets at West Point. This item, to my mind, is important. Very few Afro-Americans have received appointments at West Point, and, as far as I know, none have entered the Naval Academy at Annapolis. Under the law a number of appointments at large are to be made to both the Military Naval Academies. Of the number to be appointed, there is single Afro-American? If not, I don't. From every point of view we are entitled to some representation as privates and officers in both arms of the United States to be appointed being done to domesticate this fact to the Army. I do not know what has been or is being done in this direction; but certainly the need for some action is obvious to me and I believe this is the most favorable for it. If the "square deal" means anything we take advantage of it now. I have no personal ambition for a military or naval appointment, as I am qualified neither father, nor mother. But there is a large and sufficient army, but young Afro-Americans who are qualified for a position of cadet or midshipman with a high rate and country. If this poignamentation has the effect of reviving interest in this matter its purpose will have been served and the writer will feel thankful. JAMES F. ALIAIR New York City By R L. Stokes The article on "A Negro's Chance," contributed a few weeks ago to the Saturday Breaking Post by Congressman B. G. Hamphreygs of the Third Michigan district in that it entirely backs the pastor and godless in the writings of Southern men on the race problem. The more amply of the article would greatly encourage us; did we not suspect it due to the good nature of triumph rather than to the sympathy of philanthropy? We fear that Mr. Hamphreygs might be on the other side of the equation. We should be he so proud, for distracting the Afro-American bad recieved. Mr. Humphrey begins with the conventional ravaging over the history of the Anglo-Saxon. We admit, what we could conventional ravaging over the history of the Anglo-Saxon. We admit, what we could conventional ravaging over the history of the Anglo-Saxon's history can even say that without the Anglo-Saxon civilization to day would have been materially changed for the worse. But we could conventional ravaging over the history of the Anglo-Saxon was once far worse than the Anglo-Saxon can now be. When the original Angles and Saxon conquered Britains, they mixed with the native Britons. These Britons subsisted to a later war with the Anglo-Saxon, named Gibbon, "the most stupid, maladapted by the most dissolute, and terminated by the most mind of all the Roman emperors." The conquerors contemptuously intrusted the troops of the Anglo-Saxon, including cavalry, artillery and auxiliaries, about thirty-air thousand men. The legionaries of Rome looked with astonished disquiet upon the troops of the Anglo-Saxon, on foot the wild deer through the British forests. But worse was yet to come. The conglomerate race of Angles, Saxons, Dane and Britons were crushed to the bone by slavery; as badger of servitude they were compelled to wear igromilious brass collars, like dogs. The Norman of that day wont to exclaim with indignation: "I want me for a Saxon" much as a Southerner says to day: "Do you think I am a Negro?" Although we admire the achievements of the race loosely known as the Anglo-Saxons, it is to be far from perfect, especially in the 8th century, fact that the prisoners of London were drained to furnish population for many of the Southern States; and to find wives for the Englishmen. In fact most fragrant crimes, the bawdy houses of London were emptied of prostitutes. From such a disgraceful origin sprang a number of those white men who in the Middle Ages were severely about the "divine Anglo-Saxon." This is a mere aside, however. Mr. Humphreys real thesis is that the only reason for the decline of the disfranchisement of the block man. It may be shocking to some to hear a Congressman of the United States so frankly advocate a violation of the Constitution, the United States Constitution, Mr. Humphrey thinks, however, that he has escaped this offense with great ingenuity. The letter of the Fifteenth Amendment, boasts the black man has not been incarcerated, the black man has not been sentenced, because he is black, but because he cannot read the Constitution, does not pay his taxes, and does not register. On the other hand, Mr. Humphrey confesses, the qualifications were adopted with the definite purpose of disfranchising the black man because he is black. Mr. Humphrey conscience is no doubt quieted the spirit, but not the spirit he has violated soily the spirit, but not the uphold, of the law he has sworn to uphold. A fatal defect of these schemes of disfranchisement is that they are in their temporary by relying on the Afro-American race and timidity. Mr. Humphreys and his kind can now control the government in the Yazoo Delta District, without any race and timidity, will they do when the Afro-American achieves, as he is sure to achieve, enterprise, intelligence and spirit. We fear that when this occur Mr. Humphreys will be able to govern with black men than he now is. At present Mr. Humphreys would be almost certain, on account of his superior education and experience, to have a powerful force. The Afro-Americans were admitted to the suffrage. But will he be nearly so certain of power when numerous Afro-Americans are his qualification, experience and ambition. We fear that the Afro-Americans will hold to his opinion that the white man is divinely appointed to rule, will be sooner or later reduced to abandoning the Yazoo race and timidity, as a thing which will hardly be able to be by force, as in the merry days of the Ku-Ku Klan. But how will Mr. Humphreys then elude violating the letter of the eighteenth Amendment as well as its spirit. But disfranchisement being accustomed by legal means for an illegal person is also its effect? Mr. Humphrey's claims that it is official as to constitute a solution of the race problem. According to him, disfranchisement has caused a certain number of Afro-Americans of the Yazoo Valley to own homes in the city, to own doctors, lawyers, pharmacists, and artisans, to manage stores and banks, and to escape lynching. But that there exists a relationship between disfranchisement and achievement we most emphatically deny. If Mr. Humphrey's contentions were well founded, we should for instance, invariably find the number of lynchings increasing, such as in Afro-American is enfranchised. Such is the case in 1900 Missipless, Mr. Humphrey's own state, with an Afro-American population of 916, 630 led all the States in the Union in state, 18 persons having met death in Kentucky and Tennessee, Texas, Florida, Kentucky and Tennessee, American population of 1,616,401, only 13 persons were lynched during the same time. In Missipless the "reviled constallion" poultry for Mr Humphrey's plague himself in Kentucky and Tennessee, Florida, Kentucky and Tennessee, the revised constitution has not yet been introduced. In Missipless in 1900 17,118 Afro-Americans owned their own homes. They have only two thirds of Missipless's Afro-Americans families owned their homes in 1900. 1900 21,973 Afro-Americans owned farms in Missipless. In Texas and Kentucky, with a combined, Afro-Americans owned farms equal to that of Missipless, 25,542 were farm-owners. But why plop up statistics? Those already died, we believe, fatally disable Mr. Humphrey's opinions. An fatal to them also is plain compliance for men, oppressed and imprisoned to equal the achievements of men who are free and spirited.

Gibson of 237 Montgomery street left Friday. to visit Washington and other points South. By Theophilus Baldwin Steward. Prof. William R. Smith, of the chair of Metathesis at Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, has written remarkable in this fact, since the South has been buoyly engaged in defending itself with books, and there is less pennantableness in Prof. Smith's book, "The Color Lies." Evidently by his own efforts, he crises a line of separation and antagonism between every black and every white man in the South. The author has undertaken a task of suspending magnitude, since he smokes that line so precisely that no other North or South rope or any other place where the Negro is an inhabitant and citizens. "The Color Lise," then, may be regarded as one of a series of prejudice breeding books, both in the South and in the North. South is at present widely and widely On reading this book, one cannot delay that it are in evidence of study and existive reading, with some observation; and also some effort at scientific accuracy and finality. But there is likewise evidence of evil intent, malicious falsification, and cruel desoctation. The statistics and deductions are wonderfully elastic and�ugatory, and like twoforms may pot quirreoppositely while emphasizing neither direction. The reader is compelled to wander, almost as if the way through several pages of quotations, extracts and features. I might say painfully, for Prof. Smith is not a writer of good logic, and there is an abscess of evidence and mastery. All this array of evidence and bigotry is adduced to prove the inferiority of the Negro and to prevent inter-racial marriage. The Southern white is urged to regard the ancestry, the purity and the superb excellence of his race, and not to mingle his blood with that of the inferior race about him. Withal this book presents the saddest and the most puerile plan that has yet come out of the South. It is sad, because there is such a wall of desperation and the most�iousness of the white if the black secures his rights, it is pumble because no man of Prof. Smith's intelligence can seriously mean that he believes in the absurd position of which he feels himself the defender. After devoting numberless paragraphs to substantiate the statements that the Southern white woman descended from the African-American to the ape, he affirms that "in the Southern color line must be drawn firmly, unfinishedly," or "or 'as a race, the Southern Caucasian must be irreverently doomed." that from every point of view, scientific evidence shows that the Negro is the inferior and the white the superior, that neither nature nor God intended their intermarriage, and that the woman of the south is absolutely prejudiced against her own race superiority, virility and effectiveness—after proving all this to his satisfaction. Prof. Smith pleads for laws and hatreds to prevent these prejudices, and he vows, with a detrimental inconsistency, that unless the color line be drawn "many bright, mutuates would ambitionally woo, and not a few would ambitionally hate." He applauds in love or gooded by impulse or wryness of the asex stern struggle for exalence. It appears strange that laws are needed to prevent the strong from being captured and carried by the brute. Evidently they are from mathematicians who are not logicians. The passionate plea for expatriation, the excuse for disfrianchement, the phantom of equality, the defense of discrimination, the attraction with which "The Color Line" describes it, cerned—all these we have heart before, and they have been insecure elsewhere more logically and forcefully advocated. It is not necessary to contend with or to re-claim him; Smith: he assuredly sees, although he ignores, and hence he needs no guide. Addressing the North, he asks, he pleads, that it say, "You Southerners mistake us entirely. We reckon with your hard work, but we forbid that you should herd with narrow foreheads, vacant of our glorious gains We, too, eschew the notion of race equal. And because the Northern press The North press and the Outlook—refuses to repeat the sentiments, he rails and cries that the whole world is arrayed against the South. Truly the one purpose of this book is that of serving another purpose, so serves another purpose. In that it serves the best white men, the educated white men, of the South regard the Negro. And somehow here seems to run through the world, an understone of fear, clear blended with As we conclude this book, which concludes the Negro to the outcurrents of life and labor in America, the remark of a ministerial acquaintance becomes quite so powerful as the fear of being so powerful, as the fear of us, since we are so weak and brutal? The Negro is not afraid that the Southern white will determine or expatriate him, and he, being so powerful, might naturally to be the more concerned. In all, Prof. Smith a book can be dismissed as being of little value to the sun, because the race question, and since it half now exists, is not as useful as the scientist as to the novel reader. No book, either story or history, while denying so particularly, admits so much of the Negro's rights as a citizen and a factor in the life of this Nation as "The Color Line." Fort Niobrara, Neb.

Have Enough Churches From the Moon (1943) Sept. 17th During the past forty years throughout the Southern States we have exerted our efforts to the aid of the ability in church building, with the rest of us everywhere we have houses of worship that would do credit to a people of more wealth than we can boast. The time has now come when, for the most part, we have put in effort to obtain it in repair when necessary demands it, and turn attention more largely to purchasing homes, making provision for the education of the young, and where needed, the building of halls for enterment. What has been done had to be done, but no one generation can do all, nor should it attempt it; something must be left for succeeding generations. It will require infinitely more than the material in Christian example; education, the spiritual, must be emphasized, otherwise there cannot be harmonious development; vital religion, effectual in the lives and affairs of men, matters on the basis of good home life and the welfare of others. This is the orderly procedure of civilization, and with safety by no race can it be reversed. Old Subscriber Wants The Age Reg ularly. Mormon.

Influenced by the caelophores of the Southern press the Southern people desire to impress the Southern people with the gift of his friendliness toward them, he would have heretofore strongly maintained on the race question. President's speech at the Lincoln dinner on Monday night must have convinced the doubters of their mistake. This speech is the noblest of his utterances. It is particularly illuminated, and must produce a deep impression, every Southern man not hopelessly blinds by race and sectional prejudices — Brustow (1) Union. — "The speech of President Roosevelt before the President Club of New York's Lincoln Play is the bread of a bread and liberal muddled statement, who bashes country's interest closely at the heart," emphasizes the fact that the President no North, no South, no East, no West, no resulted Nation in which all of its citizened races of race, color, creed or condition, are Americans. -Hickmond Reformer. —President Roosevelt's great speech on the Negro question was a most remarkable utterance and one that will do much to improve the life of any man could desire and mark the future true friend of righteousness and faith. He is true to the core and needs no other from the position he has occupied hereafter. He is not a stagnant, stated, "All men up, not some men down." While he breathes a spirit of kindness and of warmest sympathy for the South at the height of this devotion to the interests of that section, he lives less than of other sections, be it for justice and equality of civil rights or for opportunity for all citizens, regardless of their status or wants more than I have lived so far demands. —East St. Louis (II) —Mr. Roosevelt states a position with a race question which could be taken by the police to every person convicted of the crime. "The police must "indict" the dealing with the man on one hand and secure him the rights that no one else grudge him it he were of another color, and the Negro asks someone for what the police in this country is not special favor has to do, but, on the other hand, that he be held criminated against because of his color, protest against special legislation, that he be held guilty in justice and fairness is that he be treated with intelligence be given the same chances for labor and clinical pretreatment that are given to other men — Southwestern Christian Adocate —The speech of President Roosevelt is significant and will sage with the sheen in his appearance upon the race problem. He mildly urges us to read the speech in that as of words is there to be found ought clear than read for the South. We have read and read the President's utterances and we cordially subsist the notion that we should not forget of this section who thought that aalm a special friend are deceived. While men of this section who thought that aalm a special enemy are mistaken in platform, factory, and if he will live up to the declarations made, no cause for compulsion should emanate from any wild swallow of charity industrial institutions in this broad land of ours—diamond Planet. The American Baptist, in speaking DuBois' "Debt and Credit," says the DuBois is about to stir up a hernia from which he will have trouble criticating himself, and so on. What he writes in on file, and if the American Negro press does not condemn him man, we will be much surprised. A number of the Negro journals throughout the country have already spoken out in the editorials, condemning this professor his standering of the Negro press. The Christian never deals with anything glove in his blittering attack on the shoulder. The only thing he can extricate himself from the slender attack, will be for him to acknowledge that he has made a false statement. No one will satisfy the Negro press in America. LIMERICK8.

How often you have said, when in company, "If I could only play I wouldn't have to be asked but once." Here is your chance; this book will teach you to play. Most of our singers are badly in need of a musical education. You cannot be a fine singer without being a musician. If you cannot afford to take music lessons this book will help you. It is written with that end in view. This book differs widely from other books of the same or a similar title. Instead of beginning with several huge pages of description, giving in a lump the whole notes, the halves, the quarters, etc., the book ends the reader at the piano, tells just where the white key for middle C is, then the one for F, and so on. notes, the halves, the quarters, etc., the book sits the reader where the white key for middle C is, then the one for P, and Within five minutes you will be playing and will be that steps the player is led on and on till simple melodies become pieces.

JENNIFER CITY, Feb. 27. — The Mouvement Baptist Church, which has for nearly five years been housed in a small reated room at 340 Johnson avenue, has bought the building formerly known as the Zion Baptist Church and dedicated it host sun. The church has taken on new life and the choir, under the direction of Prof. Cole, is flourishing. R. v. W. S. Smith is the pastor. Death of Rev. Sergio Gomwell. The death on Feb. 10 of Rev. George Borswell, who was for many years pastor of Elm Bypath Church, removed from New York one of its most interesting and unique characters. Rev. Borswell came to New York seventy years ago from Richmond, Va., where he was ordained in the Sixth Mount Kion Church, of which Rev. John Jauper, of "Ban do move" fame was pastor. He was also a member of the Abjurian Baptist Church. Sunday, Feb. 10. Rev. Charles B. Morris delivered the funeral address. The funeral was in charge of Understakeer Rev. R. S. Mont, and was one of the largest in attendance that ever occurred in the city. The interment was in Evergreen Cemetery. If the Baby is Unborn Above Miss.

They took my money and no good to me. They did the day the bad luck, sick or in trouble to go or write to 601 Fulton street, to Dr. Ellison at once. I had been to the wrong place. I was cursed all right in three days. If I want to know any more come out with me. I went to Third Avenue, New York, through Manhattan. 30 AALLING RIBERT, NEWARK, N. J. March, 31 Given me, please, to try to be a client, I give you a letter to you. I will tell you that I've been to the clown. I had been sick for a long time, and had taken all kinds of medtices for my complation. I was very sorry for being in the right way, and I had been taking to the D. Ellaw's medicine, I can truthfully say I have been greatly benefitted. I wish to add my testimony as to Dr. Killian's an inebrious power. By home mysteries of the time I was a helpover upon my back. I was a man who could fly off to the D. Ellaw's medical staff. My Eliason, I was made only so walk around in less than a week. I felt so if I had been raised up to the D. Ellaw's medical staff. My seventh avenue, Mr. Vernon, N.Y. BROOKLYN, May 8, 1908—I went to Dr. Killian when I was so sick I thought I would die. By Ellason cured me and made me feel like a new man. I was so good that I had to go to the theater and to get for pointing me to such a good friend to give me such relief. 191 Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn, NY, E. HARRISON, NEWARK, Sep. 14, 1908—I wish to state that I was sick with a mystery because and in good trouble and distress for a long time, so one had been so good that I had been so good to do it. But when I'm concerned to know what was the matter. No one could do me any good. Hearing of the workful works being done by my own people, I would be so good that I call to see him myself. I found Dr. Eliason was dead and gone, but I found in his old eyes, 70 years old. I had a little kind of kind to me. I had a very long time to tell my father a story of a wonderful heart I will, I can truly and heartily recommend Dr. Eliason to tell those in sickness of my kind.
