DIXIE'S SOCIAL EVIL Congress of Mothers Swallows Southern Concubinage and Strains at Mormonism: MORALITY IS PARAMOUNT Without It, Industrial and 'Higher Education Are Inefficacious—"Negress" an Insulting Episthet Moody Earnest Against Peonage—"Big Stick" of Law for South. Staff Occupancy of THE AUK. WASHINGTON, March 28—The National Congress of Mothers which held its annual meeting this year in Washington was a notable gathering from all parts of the country, of the female end of the home, for the discussion of the problems of family life in America. And they did it with a gravity and decorum worthy of much praise. Resolutions were adopted at the closing session of the Congress condemning Mormonism. This is very good, but does it go far enough? We have no kick on account of the indignation of the Congress against Mormonism which ought to be hit, and hit hard, by every home loving man and woman in the United States. But to hit Mormonism and pass over in silence the higher saints in this country, we own great cities, and the wide spread system of concubinage which curces the homes of the South to day, and which has cursed them for generalism. is such a derelection to the public-cast day as to amount almost to a crime against the home of these women affect to watch over with so much anxiety. Why, Mormonism is but a common boll on the body politic when compared with the cancerc growth of that system of concubinage of white men and Afro-American women in the Southern section of our country. And with this terrible fact the mothers who came from the South were surely not wholly unacquainted. Had they been willing they could, have every mother's daughter of them unmarried, nothing in Mormonism canpos parallel in civic danger to the public and in the social degradation of two races. We were glad to note that the Congress did not draw the color line. Many Afro-American women attest to the color line in the public discussions. Mrs. Daniel Murray of this city made a thoughtful address on "The Home Life of Negro Children" at one of the schools in the city and elitist editorial comment and commendation from the Washington Times. For the A to American people there is surely no more important question than this of the home. By the side of it the much-motored subject of industrial and higher education fades almost out of light. For it is much little for a race that is weak in its morals, in individual character, in the purity of its family life. To build race life on anything else or on all other things than moral integrity for the individual, moral purity for the family is to build that race life on sand which invites putting under a race the granite foundations of sound morals in its homes, something more is needed than fine words. Fine words must be supplemented and strengthened by fine conduct in the teachers, in the leaders, in the mothers and fathers, in the pupils and pews and fathers, in the teachers. Fine words from divorced from fine actions become so much salt without its savor, be a sort of moral light which is notolog but moral darkness. Let us have fine words, to be sure, but let us have much more the fine conduct, the upright character and sound morals as the solid basis for fine life in the family. In the school, in the church, and in the workaday world. The use of the word "Negress" by the Washington Times in referring to Mrs. Daniel Murray in its news columns the other day has created no little talk in the city, and no little bad feeling toward a paper which cares so lightly for the sensibilities of the women, the educated and well-educated women, and one of their number this contemptuous epithet. For contemptuous it is and is almost invariably intended to be so when applied descriptively to Afro-American ladies of the upper class. For ourselves, we never see this offensive word to print, or that other word "nigger" without experiencing a stinging sensation of shame, having been struck. In the face by a blasphemy by the word "nigger" and wise mitigated by the knowledge that these insulting epithets were hurled in our face by so called friendly newspapers and periodicals, or by men and women calling themselves our friends and hailing from the upper world of white society. The stinging sensation of humiliation we feel keenly all the more. And this feel is not only because of the niggering and refined Afro-American man, but to the land. "Negress" is coming to be not the feminine of "Negro," but the feminine of "nigger." Will the American press take notice once for all that we object to the word "Negress" when applied to our women, as we object to the word "nigger" when applied to our women to them for one and the same reason, to see them both fall, as they ought to fall in all decent journals, into grateful and speedy denudetude. Several weeks ago, directly after the argument of the Peonage case before the Supreme Court, we had occasion to visit the office of the Attorney General relative to the appointment of Afro-American representatives on the Board of Trustees of the School for Girls of the District of Columbia, to present our claim, and had them to go, Attorney General Moody opened of his own accord the subject of the peonage case which he had no ably argued a few days before in the Supreme Court. He was very careful regarding the matter and anxious about the opinion which the opinion might down. He hoped the opinion would sustain the constitution of the City. The Court of the City McLyttle was tried and convicted in the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and also the decision of the same Court from which Clyttle had appealed. The Attorney General felt that in the settlement of the constitutionality of the law under which this case was brought were involved consequences the most monotonous in their magnitude and remote influence upon the cause of the colony people of the South as American citizens. On the more vital point, the constitutionality of the law prohibiting passage, the judgment of the Supreme Court has attached the constitution of Attorney General Moody. But on the particular application of law to an individual judge, judgment law and the law, though declared constitutional, was rendered important to punish a man who had violated it, according to the verdict of a jurumpoint the decision of the lower court. And for the nonce Clytus has by the aid of the Supreme Court been clutches of justice. The case now goes back on a technicality for a new trial in the lower court, subject to all the certainties attendant upon such a reversal of the previous action of that Court. Amid the uncertainties of a new trial Clytus has been able to escape scot free from the tales of a law which the Supreme Court has just declared constitutional. What is the practical difference between a law which is declared to be constitutional, and another law which is ad judged unconstitutional and therefore imperative, if in the case of the first loophole is always left for the escape of a court order, and in the case of tribunal of last resort ever ready to paint such violators the way to the loophole? Bark is a good dog in such circumstances, but Holdfast is a better, we trow. All honor to Judge Harlan who would keep in the kennels of the government dog, only of the Holdfast breed—dogs with powerful jaws and sharp teeth who know how to untangle their claws until justice catches up with them, until law motes out to them her stern penalism. All honor, I say, to this grand and grand judge, who, when he demoted the judge's gown, did not doff his love of man, of liberty, of equal and exact justice to each American citizen irrespective of race, color and previous condition of a better age and a nobler public opinion, of a more humane interpretation and a more equal administration of the Constitution of his country and the laws made in parurvance thereof. To the Afro-American, his great disening opinions in matters relating to their rights have been for well nigh a general as the shadow of a root in every land. In all Court and in a land patched for us by years of wrong and the law's delays, by centuries of the bitterest oppressions. Judge Emory Speer, one of the bravest and best judges of the South, has promptly brought the subject of Peonage to the Court in a charge of singular earnestness and power. Will the grand and petious juries of Georgia add Judge Speer to speedy and condign punishment the state, and bring the state and forever the inquisitive system of Peonage in Georgia? We shall presently see. ARCHAEL H. GRIMKEN Peteraburg News. PENNSBURG, N.Y., March 21, R.E. Kurt T of the Harlow Street Church filled his pulpit Sunday morning and Rev. J. N.

DISBANDS BLACK-TROOPS Chatham Artillery, the Pride of Bavannah, Dismissed—All Such Troops to Go—Versatile Vardaman—Now Oppresses, Now Defends the Base Criminality ATLANTA, Ga., March 30.—In the early part of February the Lincoln Guards, an Afro-American military organization of Macon, Ga., made application to the State authorities to visit Washington during the inauguration. The request met with an answer from the Governor, almost brutal in its nature, to the effect that he did not purpose to have the State of Georgia represented by Negroes. That was the end of it, and while the members of the Lincoln Guards saw the cavalcade on Pennsylvania avenue on March 4, it was only an private citizen, many all sorts of military trappings. After the Governor's decree, others of his way of thinking started the cry that the few remaining Afro-American companies should be disbanded and, although the inspectors' reports show these organizations to be up to the mark of efficiency, it seems they are all doomed to a few days ago the Chatham Artillery, long known as the pride of the Afro-American of Savannah, was disbanded and, that ancient and honorable organization will no longer thrill the breasts of the admiring Afro-American breasts, and it is not the only command that has been murdered out. Indeed, vicious has been the hand of prejudice, and the admiring Afro-American striking down these companies that only three remain in the State to-day. These three, it seems, are so well in tactics and military discipline that the usual charge of incompetence cannot be trumped up in order to disband them, the Legislature pass a law for bidding the existence of any Afro-American companies whatever. In justification of this scheme it is alleged that Afro-American troops would be uneasy in controlling cities of Charleston and St. Augustine affair and try for the cowardly action of the white troops on that occasion. This wholesale wiping out of the black National guard is a bold step, for, be it remembered, the funds to maintain the entire organization are furnished by the Federal government. What right have the official of a State to receive money from the federal government? It allon it allon a part of the citizens of that State, absolutely prohibiting another part of the citizens from any participation in such funds, when no such limitation was fixed by the donor? And why does the National government permit the people's money to be so useful? It is a species of high handed outrage, a way of exploiting the citizens of the country who believe in fair play. There is as much need for the cultivation of the military spirit in the Afro American as in anybody else; certainly he deserves it. It would also be for the good of the country for him to have it, for he has on more than one battle-belt shown the kind of armor he would need to fight for the stars and stripes with all the fervor of his nature and the strength of his good right arm. James K. Vardaman, by the grace of the electors of Mississippi governor of the T. Commonwealth, seems to be a man of very stintable parts, first appearing in the role of governor, then in the role of by a wonderful 'preto, change,' their defender. His recent ukase in reference to the protection he intends to mete out to Afro-Americans is in striking contrast to his former utterances on the subject. All in all, his career as Governor has been a long and successful career, and appeal to his colored citizens. His comparison of his boot black to Booker Washington was most coarse, while his aspersions on the race, generally were unworthy of the high office he holds and wholly without justification or excuse. He was a man of great talent, given Afro-Americans may be based on a change of heart or it may be merely a mood in which he occasionally finds himself. However much coadmendation he deserves for his former attacks on the Afro-Americans of the country in general, he seems to be a man of great charisma he must now be applauded when he shows a disposition to do the right thing. The saving of the neck of the innocent man from the rope of the mob and his body from the blaze, is a matter of more than passing significance, and whoever puts his hand on the neck of the servant of praise in these days when it is quite the proper thing to do otherwise. The wonder of it all in the case of Mississippi's Governor is that he cannot see, or rather say that he cannot see, or rather say that he cannot see, the elevation of the Afro-American educationally and morally will give the mob a reason to believe that he cannot prove the theory that the educated Afro-American is the one who is filling the prisons and the chain gangs has about been exploded, the records showing that such is not the case in either first, term men or reddish men, too often the men can write histories that have been taken for an proof that he is educated, and he is marked as a man of learning who has fallen in the path of the thief; when in truth he has just managed to learn to read and write through a term in the primary school, he has been taken for a deoxygenated impulse in a him before owing a sentence in a minor offense owing a confirmed criminal. The assertion that the educated Afro-American is the criminal of the race needs no better refutation than the statistics kept by the schools and colleges. These statistics keep tab on the students in after Life and are always accurate guides in deciding what kind of life they are living. The ratio of Afro-Americans who have spent any considerable degree of learning and who have been educated is the same as the ratio of men and women. The proportion of those who have received a summoning in a little longer. but not enough to vindicate the oft-repeated charge that education is dangerous to the race. It is encouraging to note that the above claim is not true, because those who would only too gladly use it to our detriment. TOM H. MALONE. MEMBER OF MANY LODGES DEAD. E. A. James Succumbs to Heart Disease—Personal Notes. NEW HAVEN, March, 27.—Edward A. James of 118 Day street, formerly of Chicago, went into the grocery store at the corner of George and Day street about 6:30 P.M. last Thursday and asked for a drink of water. He was apparently in great pain and settled down into a chair, where he died before medical assistance could reach him. He untimely death, which is described to heart failure, shocked his friends and the members of the fraternities to which he belonged. Mr. James, though not a rman of great educational attainments, had good qualities, was a natural leader of women and children and an earnest worker, who accomplished much good for the civic societies among them. He was an active member up to the time of his death of several societies, which paid their final tribute of respect by assembling at his funeral. He was worshipful master of Oriental Lodge No. 6, F. and A. M., a member of Fountain Chapel, had good relations with the United Order of True Reformers; of Queen Ethet Tabernacle No. 41, A. I. O. S. and D. B. and of S. of Moses; organizer of the juveniles of the Good Samaritans and of the Rosebuds of the True Reformers; a member of Eureka Chapel, had the early Star and authored member of the Manuel Baptist Church and the Men's Club. The funeral took place last Sunday at 11 A.M. from Immanuel Baptist Church, Rev. A. C. Powell officiating. The floral tributes were beautiful. Deceased friends were the Body and interred in the Westville church and the craft performed the committal service at the grave. Mrs. Aaddle Johnson, aged 39 years, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel R. Ricks, died last Saturday at her residence, 76 Eaton street, after a short illness. Mrs. Johnson gave birth to twins two weeks after the birth, and obsequies occurred from the house Monday afternoon. The interment was in Mapledale cemetery. Besides four children, she leaves a father, mother and one sister. Arthur D. Nichola, who resided in this city about seventeen years ago, and who has traveled quite extensively, predeceased her with his sister, his only near relative, whom he had not seen for many years. Mrs. F. F. Johnson of 54 Eaton street, Mrs. Mary L Henderson of 112 Day street is recovering, from a severe attack of quinny fever; more blood, the child, was collected on Wednesday evening, April 5, the preacher will be Dr. E. S. Brown, professor of the Cambridge Theological School. BALK ROCKEFELLER FOR ONCE Tarrytown Citizens Defeat His Candidate-Personals TARRYTOWN, March 27.—The election held last week in North Tarrytown was the hottest in the history of the town. The Citizen's ticket, headed by John Wirth, was in opposition to the People's ticket, headed by Warren Stoddard and backed by the Rockefeller Influence. A rooster was the sign on the Rockefeller ticket, and a safe that on the Wirth ticket. The prediction was made, that the rooster would crow before morning, but Wirth asserted that to prevent the rooster's crowing he would put it in the safe. The next morning it was seen that the rooster had got it, "where the chicken got the ase," as John Wirth received a majority of 171 votes. This is the first time in the history of the town that the Rockefeller ticket has been defeated; and it was defeated by the largest majority ever given to an opposing candidate. ELKS' ANNUAL BALL They May Be Known by Love of Sociability and Comfort—Bscope for Them Among Other Orders—Officers and Committees—Edward E. Brock and Wm. P. Moore. The first annual reception and ball of Brooklyn Lodge, No. 32. Improved Benvolent and Protective Order of Elks of the world, took place at Prospect Hall, Prospect Avenue, near Fifth avenue, Brooklyn, Wednesday evening March 22. The hall was crowded to its limit. The reception committee headed by William P. Moore, Eq. deserves great credit for the masterly way in which the great throng of over two thousand people was handled; there was not a jar to interrupt the harmony of the occasion. Music was furnished by the old Sidney L. P. Painter's orchestra, with J. A. Allen as director. The dances were arranged in two parts, with fourteen numbers in each, in honor of the President of the United States, the Grand Lodge of Elks, the officers of Brooklyn Lodge, the Governor of the State, the mayor of Greater New York and the lodges of the different States. A souvenir-journal of more than thirty-two pages, filled with the best quality of advertisements and containing the order of dances, was purchased each lady present. The Lodge's executive work. The popularity of Brooklyn Lodge was attested by the letters of regret from the following distinguished men: President Roosevelt, Governor Higgins, Mayor McClellan, W. H. Heck, Esq., New York City, Q. Y. Miles, Marge M. Miles, Old Collar Charities, and many others. Hon. Godfrey H. Bachman, past exiled ruler of the United States, was so highly delighted with the literary and musical program that he presented a twenty dollar bill to one of the solitaries and a beautiful Elk's head set in disarray. He was also a decorator of floral reception committee and floor committee were royally remembered by the expenditure of one hundred dollars for champagne. It may be interesting to note who the Elks are. Elkdom in this vicinity became a fact on December 30, 1903, when Broglyphon Lodge, the mother lodge in Broglyphon, was destroyed at the time Progressive Lodge, No. 45, of New York city have been instituted. Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, Baltimore, Atlantic City, Washington, Pa., and Philadelphia. The lodge is a monastery, all at boast of lodges of this order. Only one lodge is permitted in a city, but the membership is unlimited. While the order is benevolent and protective—caring for the sick and burying its dead—sociability is one of its main features. In any other secret order, one of the cardinal mottoes of Elkdom is "Live while you live, for you are a long time time dead." For this reason, you will never meet with a hungry Elk, a thirsty man, or a lonely woman. B P O. are surely Elkish. They stand for "Best People On Earth," and represent manhood in all its essentials. They are, indeed, the clan whose blood throbs for their kind. Although but one of the most famous numbers something over 150 members, and applications for membership are still coming in. Exalted Ruler Edward Elmore Brock is a man of good executive ability. He is also a literary man of good parts, having contributed many articles having营运, colored and colored, among them the Colored American Magazine and the Indianapolis Freeman. Mr. Brock will address the Concord Literary Circle on April 27 at 10 a.m. for day and dignities, of purpose to his fellow members, he has placed Brooklyn Lodge. No. 23, in the front. Require William P. Moore, chairman of the reception committee, is a young man of more than ordinary executive ability. Having been in the employment of the General Education Board for a number of years, he has gained a wide and helpful experience in organization work. He has been financial secretary of Virgina's four known colleges his service were so highly valued by the society, that at its last annual meeting he was presented with five dollars.

LAWYER WISE INSINCERE Fee, Not Principle, Interests Him— Buffrage League Unorganized— Lacks 'Money-Plum for Harvard? —No Aid for Negro 'Exhibit— Laud True Reformers—Politics. Regular Correspondence of the Aco. HIGHCHON, Va., March 28.—The cale- brated suffrage cases are to come up in the Federal court at its next meeting in Norfolk. They will be handled by Capti- nate John S. Wise and James H. Hayes, Eqn., on the one side, and the attorney- general of the State on the other. As Mr. Hayes has been out of the State more than in it during the last twelve months, much of the interest once man- fested in various sections of the State in the raising of funds to defray the costs of prosecuting the suits has died out. It is thought that sufficient money has not been raised, as the society under whose direc- tion the fight was begun, at its annual meeting some six weeks ago, made an appeal for $3,000 to help continue the fight. Unfortunately for the society, it has seen fit to put but one man, Mr. Hayes, in do to the work. If the fight against Southern disfranchisement is to be fought successfully, it will only be done when the work of the present Buffrage League is to be affiliated organizations in every State acting under the laws and regulations adopted by the National body. Then, too, while Captain Wace is a good lawyer, an ardent Republican, a humorous orator and all that sort of a thing, his public utterances op many occasions showed that he was counsel for the fee, he believed the Afro-American should have been able to have materially leashed the interest of race leaders in the State in the fight. It seems to them that an attorney should, at least seemingly, have the real interests of his clients at heart. Nothing definite has been heard as to what the State will be the State will receive the much discussed Punishment. If services to the party is the State count for anything, the plum will most undoubtedly fall to the Hon. A. W. Harris of Dilwiddie. Mr. Harris is a the backing of Judge Lewis, Congressman Semp, Chukman Semp, and the plum of the councils of the party. He is indulged by many leading educators and business and professional men among both races. The failure of Congress to make a large appropriation for the Jamestown Tercentenary, has "knocked the starch out of" Gilles Jackson's pet scheme. Very few Afro-Americans in Virginia took any interest in the movement now. Here in Richmond, where Mr. Jackson's society has its headquarters, not a single public meeting has ever been held to forward the cause. The president of Virginia are not interested in the movement, then those of the North who are unalterably opposed to "Jim Crow" annexes of any description cannot be expected to contribute to the movement. Interest in politics here increases daily, in both Republican and Democratic circles. State offices and a United States Senateorship are the bai prizes up. Three Democratates are seeking the governman Swanson, State Senator Mann and Lieutenant-Governor Williard. Mann is a prominent anti-monaco leader and will have the backing of the temperance element in the Democratic primary. His chances for the nomination are excellent. Republicans but one man is named for the nomination, Judge L. L. Lewis, former president of the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals and at present United States District Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. The Democratic candidate is also a candidate of his party if he will accept the nomination, and there are thousands of Democrat who will support him, as he is regarded as one of the ablest and cleanest public men in the State. The new man, C. Bacom, who is a Congregationalist, is begin to manage plans for a complete reorganization of the party in the State." Auburn News. AURORA, March 29 - Last Sunday at the A.M. E. Z. Church Rev. Grove of the Seminary preached in the morning, owing to the illness of Pastor J. C. Roberts. Substitute school was largely attended at noon.

Duhols and Mimi Ware are to be out again. Mrs. Lottie Vanaree has gone to visit Mrs. Preston to Omaha, where Clarence (khan) accompanied him. Federal Office Hold-Overt. There is much speculation among African-American Federal office holders and those who want to hold office—two influences intermily antagonism, because what is meant for the one is home for the other—as to the probable effect upon them of the "night year security rule" and to have been adopted by President Roosevelt; that is, that those officials who have served eight years need not necessarily expect to be reappointed or to hold over without fear of the appointment of their successors. Writing on this subject the well-informed Washington correspondent of the Boston Breaking Transcript says: "The President's friends think that he has done enough to give these McKinley appolates four years of grace, and that the time for Roosevelt selections has actually come." Has it? We do not understand why there should be any speculation about the matter, except as a purely mental exercise. In the main, the rule will apply to Afro-American office-holders the same as to other sorts of hyphenated office-holders. The rule applies to the President, to begin with, and public opinion favors the application of it to his appointees; that is, to those outstruck with the responsibility of carrying out his policies—such as cabinet officers, diplomatic officers, heads of departments, and the like. If the rule were not enforced we should soon have an office-holding class which would eventually aspire to rule their fellows by prescriptive if not Divine right,—about as pernicious and dangerous a class as can afflict any country. Office-holding, except in the classified service, which should comprehend the consular service, should not be regarded as a money-making occupation but as an honorable distinction. When a President is elected he should have a free hand to appoint to positions of trust those whom he desires to be jointly responsible with him for the working out of the policies of his administration. And, too, eight years is plenty long enough for any citizen to hold an administrative position in a Government by party where so many men desire, and justly, the honorable distinction of serving the Republic in the high places of its domestic and foreign service. We do not think that the Afro-American can federal office-holders from the McKinley administration have any reasonable grounds for desiring or expecting that the "eight year tenure rule" will or should be stretched over instead of under them. If there are found exceptions to the rule among them, very well; but the rule, we believe, will apply generally and not specially. Afro-Americans receive but few Presidential appointments, and there should be a vigorous shake-up of them every eight years at least, the same as of Anglo-Americans. Irish Hack bone No one, we believe, has a notion that the Irish race, at home or abroad, are disposed to accept injustice without protest, or to stand by while a scrap is on without taking or desiring to take part in it What, then, does M. J. O'Brien mean by saying in the New York Sun, that, if the Irish race "did lay claim to everything that the race is entitled to, and showed a sluffer backbone, people would have more respect for them?" Did you ever! Here in New York the Irish claim everything in politics, and get it, and their backbone appears to be as stiff as a crow bar. If a fighting Irishman can reasonably make this sort of complaint against the Irish race what should a fighting Afro-American make about the shortcomings of the Afro-American people in this respect? These latter allow themselves to be robbed of their legal rights as a race without organized protest and to be wregged and contemptuously abused as individual without the resentment that rebukes as well as compels respect. The Afro-American people need a stiffer backbone. Too Much Education? The brisk and pungent Atlanta Independent expresses an opinion which enjoins great vogue at present, but which is nevertheless, we believe, erroneous. "Ne grog graduates of Yale and Harvard," complains the Independent, "as a rule presents a bad case of too much education." We cannot deny that Afro-American college graduates, like white college graduates, are not always everything that they should be. But that the fault is "too much education" we do emphatically deny. The writer is not familiar with the customers at Yale, but he does know that at Harvard the first lesson impressed upon freshmen is that the world is divided into two classes, college men and "muckers," or, in other words, grandeur and dust. So stuttering to the vanity is this discriminatory notion that all undergraduates, except those misnounced, level-headed, embrace it with fervor. The certain result is that the college earth, believers it a foolish waste of time to make any efforts at improving himself. "Why attempt to paint the illly?" is his motto. With the aid of tutors, he gets his degree by the skin of his teeth, and spends the remainder of his life in illustrating to the best of his ability Balance's definition of a fool,—one who does nothing to justify the good opinion he has of himself. How many college graduates, white and black, have we seen whose sole accomplishment consisted of the Harvard draw, a profound knowledge of dandyism and athletics, a vocabulary of fifty natural words, a pat quotation or so, and a gift, siblings familiarity with the names of Shakespeare, Gosset and one or two other great men. Such creat- We believe that a man can earn* possibly have too much education. On the whole we think that the noblest characters in the history of mankind have been men of thorough culture, of education to the utmost. The fact that some worthless men are college graduates no more vitilious the precious value of college education than the conduct of a hypocritical and vicious smokes刃 the truths of religion. To enforce our potat, we ask permission to quote a backstory, but true and apposite, couple: A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or hate not the Perian spring. Honorary Degree Abuse. We publish in another codenum of THE AGE to a letter from M. L. Latta, an alleged Reverend, Master of Art and Doctor of Divinity, as well as President of Latta University, an alleged institution of learning, at West Lehigh, N. C., in which, without having read what we said of him and a diploma issued by him as President of Latta University, in an editorial published in THE AGE of March, 16, he reads us a lecture in bad English, with threats of law suit damages, and the like. We can very well understand why Latta University has not conferred a degree upon its founder, Rev. M. L. Latta, when we cautiously weigh the modesty with which he writes diplomas and articles for publication. Such a man would naturally prefer to receive a degree, as he curtly states it, "from an Institution that is set a part for the express purpose of conferring degrees." This is cute. There should be an uprising among blasts and editors against the spurious homonyme degree abuse that would speedily stamp it out. Ineconsequential and impowered institutions, whose President cannot read a properly worded diploma or understand it, read to them, should not be empowered or allowed to bring learning into disrepute by issuing diplomas broadcast to people who cannot read a properly worded diploma or understand it when read to them. The abuse is widespread and has done, is doing and will do incalculable injury to the race as processors of some common sense, or of substantial learning in isolated instances. We Have Churches Enough Baptist Truth started a very timely and profitable discussion when it directed attention, in a thoughtful and well considered article, to the church building activity which has absorbed a large part of the energies and resources of the race since the War of the Rebellion, concluding wisely, we think, that we now have enough churches for all practical purposes and should devote our energies and resources, for a while at least, more generally to our business development. In taking up the subject in The Aok of March 9, and elaborating upon what Baptist Truth had said, we felt constrained by alysely sense of duty to the race at large and to our churches in particular. We still feel as we then felt, and we are sure that there is no more vital question at this time in our church polity than the one under discussion. The Star of Zion, which has reached the years of discretion, we believe, and is the organ of one of our largest Methodist bodies, does not agree with Baptist Truth and Turt Aor, and goes into the discussion with the beadling zeal and promiscuous, that is to say, miscellaneous, hop and skip eloquence of the antiquated preacher such as used to hold down our pulpits. We shall not discuss the question with the Star of Zion. We reproduce in another column to day, leaving out its excursion into ancient architecture to back itself up, what the Star of Zion says, and leave it to our readers and the wisdom of our church authorities, especially of Zion Church in this relation, to determine if such an antiquated preacher view of so grave a question is the correct one. "The Negro is a temple builder;" "the race is not a commercial one," exclamation Editor Clement. And then he starts on his journey into ancient architecture. We value as highly as any orthodox Christian in the Republic the high moral value of sound religion to the people severely and to the Nation. It has been a great uplifting and sustaining influence in the life of the Afro-American people. But that does not prevent us from realizing that we now have enough church affidavit for the next twenty-five years, and that we can reasonably afford to stop building churches and begin to build more stores and factories, in order the better to sup, port these churches. We think this view of the master is plain enough to satisfy any rational person. With a business development as extensive and valuable perc The New York Times attempts to meet with narcissistic bankers the Hemmingsy (Ahn) Mercury, which has entitled "Uncle Tom's Cabin" as a book inspired by the malignant hatred of the white South. This charge is far from being accounted, says the Times in effect, that Mr. Stowe identified Little Kiss, her father and other representatives of the white South, and emphasized the gap between Northern Northernness and the treatment of Southernness by describing the relations between Aunt Ophelia and Topsy. The question is too obvious to obscure the Mercury. If the sim of the white South, when softened and mitigated by the charity of Mr. Stores, were such as provoke a great moral revolution in the North, what must these sims have been unvaried and made? The proposition to form a Lobster Trust will encounter opposition among those who think that the Chase is the more important of the two. And, if it must be abolished, the Lobster Trust finally if her numerous member of the American crestance. We propose Editor Trotter as the most eligible Afro-Americans for membership in the Lobster Trust. "TEMPLE BUILDER8" NONSENSE Theory Advanced That the Race Is Without Commercial Faculty The NEW YORK ACE, in commending the Baptist Truth for dismaying the building of more churches by the American Negro declares that the race having spent many millions in church property should now turn aside to the founding and supporting of business enterprises - factories, stores, etc. Brother Fortune is careful not to say we have too many churches and that they already built are too contempt, but he does intimate that some of the money spent in churches could be used for other purposes, and openly protests against the continuance of the church building order of the Negro. Our New York contemporary is usually outspoken, no man questions his bravery, but his impetuous spirit frequently gets the better of his philosophy and house he does not always discover the reason of this. Yes, the Negro has indeed invested more in church property than in any other public enterprise—and now why? Does not it occur to you that the Negro is constitutionally intently spiritual? His cerebral functions are so inclined—he worships with a great natural tendency and much enthusiasm. The church has offered the greatest opportunity to him for the exercise of the faculty of self-government, found in all the human family in a more or less lead Debarred from an active and untrained participation in the political government of the country the Negro has found the Church a promising avenue for the development of this quality. The church is to the Negro especially a social institution as well. He there meets his friends and commings with them on the most friendly basis. The young people take advantage of this social contact to inaugurate and develop the church's love and marriage, while their elders could not get along without the weekly reunion at their church. At the missions club, while perhaps organized by the church for money getting, serve to afford a social diversion for the members and have a refining influence, not otherwise obtainable. The Negro is a temple builder. The true many of his church members far outshine his homes and are beyond all comparison, when it comes to his pious business homes. The race is not a commercial one. The trade institution is lacking in any large degree with our race. The commercial faculty is with our race largely. The temple building such as has not operated strongly upon us. The Negro is a temple builder tell it unto all the people to build buildings, piping, hoping, questioning and unquestionable of freedom and worship of the sublime that characterized all his predecessors in the past. He finds its finest expression in the massive beautiful "House of God" is the most serious indication that he has a great and honorable mission to build churches in building churches, may he spend hundreds of millions more, meanwhile he will easily call his sphere to the roles, professions and duties in the race. He builds the temple building races above referred to. The church is far more the compartmental are those the evidences of the highest civiliza- tion. PRESIDENT LATTA DUCKS. Says Secretary Wrote That Diploma—Sample of His Own Composition. To the Editor of the New York Air: I see a notice in your paper concerning an honorary degree conferred on Rev J. Harris Accoon, D.D. You also attempted to cast a reflection upon me without any foundation whatsoever. I was in a hurry at that time and I told my secretary that she might quote the language from the diploma. I told her if I had time to dictate the notice I would use the same language. You say, she did not punctuate correctly, and did not use capital letters where they were used. She did not accented and used capital letters just as they were on the diploma. I am able to prove that you have misrepresented me by saying, I have no degree whatever. The degree that I received was not conferred upon my by Latta University; I received it from an institution that is set a part for the express purpose of conferring degrees.

Fouring that Governor Warfield would refuse to sign the amendment the Legislature did not send it to him, holding that the three-fifths vote was equivalent to passing the act over the executive veto, Chairman Vandiver of the Democratic committee then instituted a bill calling against the Governor to compel him to submit the amendment to the voters of the State at next November's popular election. The lower court decided that Governor Warfield must preclaim the amendment; he appealed to the Court of Appeals, which, on March 24, sustained the opinion of the lower court. Sergeant George N.

The large populated population of Afro-Americans, natives of South America, France, England, Havil, Mexico, Cuba, British and Dutch West Indies, and our Southern neighbors, has a large population of oceans citizens, loyal, patriotic, prosperous and clanish. Afro-Americans in this miscellaneous block occupy four hundred and twenty-eight faths, with an adult population of six and seventy-five, six and several thousand children; a co-visiting proof that race suicide does not prevaile in this locality, but that President Roosevelt's advice is headed. Afro-Americans pay an annual rent of $179,700, a small percentage of which is paid the wages of the workers. In this same congested block, the Afro-American is engaged in business and several professions, viz: 2 lawyers, 2 doctors and 4 instructors in vocal and instrumental music, 2 publishers of two weekly newsagrees, 2 restaurants, 2 billiard halls, 2 boarding houses, 1 saloon, 1 hotel, 3 barber shops, 4 tailors, 3 plumbers, 2 expressmen, 5 modestes, 6 electricians, 1 clairvoyant, 2 masseuses, 2 political clubs office; cool, wood and ice vendors galore.

On our way home from New York we stopped over a day in Washington for the express purpose of shaking hands with President Roosevelt. It is a privilege indeed to be tethered into the presence of the man who occupies the presidential chair of a Nation composed of a hundred million souls. It must be experienced to be appreciated. The vast number who call to see the President on business makes it hard for a call to come only to shake hands to get admission. The Georgia Baptist man was fortunate in having his card put at the end of a long list of friends he met in the city. He self, had come to shake hands with the President. The warm and cordial welcome exchanged by the president informed him that we were the old pastor of his Register of the Treasury, Hun, J. W. He was a man of great integrity, he was the man whose name must validate every dollar of paper money sent out of the original Treasury. We give us a chance to shake his hand; he grasped and shook our hand with that degree of unrestrained cordiality of the kindly expressions he made to us. —The prompt confirmation by the United States Senate of President Reeve's association of Charles W. Anderson to be internal Revenue Collector of the Second District of New York was evidence of the recognized position of Mr. Anderson for the important position. The many qualities of identity and energy which have made Mr. Anderson successful as Republican center, a state office and a friend worth having will justify his selection for the position of Internal Revenue Collector. There will be congratulations all along the line—Troy Times. —The Hon. Charles W. Anderson, who has been appointed by President Roosevelt as Collector of Internal Revenue at New York, is one of the leading Republicans of this State and in fact is one of the most popular State Committee for a number of years and has credibly in official statutes in the State. He is an able and eloquent public speaker and very popular who he is known, including his own race. His appointment will prove entirely satisfactory and his administration of his office will be most creditable, we are sure. —Schlossbach Daily Union. —The nomination of a Negro to the office of internal revenue collector of New York city draws from one western paper, the *Indianapolis News*, a mild protest on the ground that the man has been selected simply because he is a Negro. The News sets up a very high standard. To appoint him because he is Negro, it thinks, is no bad as to exclude him for that reason. But even were it true that Mr. Anderson would not have received the nomination had he had a white skin, why shouldn't he have been appointed just the name? An official state of affairs would mean that no man would get office except on the basis of his absolute personal fitness, irrespective of race, color, social station, political and personal pull. But what are the actual conditions? Did not James Jeffrey Roche and St. John Daffrey peligrate colonial offices abroad simply, because they represented the Roosevelt/American Democrat? Most men receive offices because they are Republicans, some because they voted in battlehips, others because they are fraternists or of Penrose, others because they wrote books or President, others still because they represent this office "note" New York has its "quotes" of offices in the civil service, and Ohio and Indiana now have fainted on the government for years for no sort of reason beyond their parochial social activity in the so-called political State. So long as such conditions are recognized by every administration, it is no easy square deal to object to the appointment of a few capable Negroes because they represent a particular body of American citizens—Springfield Republican. —IF President Roosevelt nominated Charles W. Anderson as Internal Revenue Collector in the district in which New York city is included, he will meet with no serious objection either from the party organization or from the community, and yet Mr. Anderson is a colored man. In the light hint of his skin, in his physique and in an attractive mannerism Mr. Anderson greatly resembles the late Blanche K. Anderson of Minnesota, the United States Senator from Minnesota, in the tact which, with Senator Bruce, was sufficient at last to command him for the respect and even friendship of Senator who represented the Southern States. Mr. Anderson exactly where to stop, not presuming any more upon his acquaintance and friendship with men of a color other than his own that did Senator Bruce. Yet he has been able maintain in its best sense the color line without any humiliation to himself or any apprehension on the part of his fellow Republican members of the Republican leadership in New York for a good many years. He has gained the respect and has often left the conditions of Republican leaders because he in both shrewd and just. He knows how to be fair without being weak and how to be without being arbitrar. In all probability the President has been persuaded, not by any other than himself, that the nomination of Mr. Anderson for Collector of this Internal Revenue District will be of some advantage in proving to the people of the South that he does not discriminate in his appointments for the office of the United States Collector. Mr. Anderson, having the other qualifications that are necessary, and having matched with a standout step as a president and then as a subordinate leader in the Republican organization, may both from party and personal considerations be reasonably named for this important office. Philadelphia Press. —The selection by President Roosevelt of Charles W. Anderson, a former Cleveland boy, to fill the responsible position of collector for the second district of New York, is not worthy on several accounts. Mr. Anderson was handicapped in his start in life by race prejudice and poverty. A poor colored boy, the son of a widow, he worked for the partial support of his mother and to obtain money for his education at Oberlin. The school was not a liberal institution by his intellectual ability, and his services were found useful in Republican politics. The appointment given Mr. Anderson is no doubt partly a reward for political services, but is also a condition of ability. No one has questioned his competency satisfactorily to discharge duties of the position. That was conceded to the first intimation that he was slated for the place. Not is it disputed that if the position is to be regarded as a reward for intellect and faithful party service, Mr. Anderson was much entitled to it as any Republican party worker be. On those grounds he was not of adverse criticism. But Mr. Anderson Negro. His appointment is a distinct departure from precedent in the appointment such positions in the Northern States. The usual course has to be distribute material it might also be said with truth moral-offences among northern colored party workers and reserve appointments of a higher class Washington, or to the Southern States, where of course, they caused irritation amid a native white. The natural result was an apprehension of northern sincerity in domestic fair play for the colored race. President Roosevelt may the charge of unfairness in characteristic matters in the state of New York of Drum at Charleston, South Carolina of the tempest it caused, until he拿 his point. The only objection missed Pcrum was his color. It was charged that the President would not think of apprehension of similar matters in the state he has chosen Mr. Anderson, against the one he can no possible objection made of color. The two selections are one unqualified. Both are creditable to the President and appointee. There is no doubt the discharge the date of his office is integrity and courtesy.—Clerk of Pcrum Advertising States furnished on application.
