Smith, Globetrotter Stewart and J. Frank Wheston All Active. As the result of the investigation being conducted for THE AOR into the recent so-called "race riots" and "Battle of San Juan Hill" there is being gradually revealed a condition of affair in the Police Department of New York city, and particularly in the Police Station in 68th street, in the 20th Precinct, which rivals desotic Russia's brutal system in utter disregard of the rights and liberties of human beings. There have come to light innocuous assaults by the police upon Afro-Americans arrested for no offence whatever on Monday week night, when business places were illegally entered, men packed in patrol wagons, taken to the station, and there ferociously beaten. The trouble began a week ago Friday evening. An old white peddler palming near the corner of Amsterdam avenue and 62d street was hooted and jeered by a lot of young white hoodlums, when a young Afro-American gentleman, Mr. William Price, came to his rescue and was immediately violently assailed. The policemen upon the corner rushed to his rescue, and in a short time the carrier was a soothing mass of men and women—the Afro-Americans endeavoring to rescue Price and the whites to get at him. The struggle spread in all directions in the immediate neighborhood, in which there are nearly 12,000 Afro-Americans, and soon not beyond the control of the police. Reserves were ordered out from 18 stations, and, perimeter commandeered to clear the streets. Afro-Amicans were added to clear the streets. Over forty arrivals were made, most of whom were Afro-Americans. Roundsman Walsh, after quiet had been restrained, ordered Rev. James E. Smith, who has a coal and ice business in the grocery store at 234 West 62d street, to go into his place of business. Smith refused, and his version of the story is the roundsman said, "You black get in, there will knock your brains out. We Smith in his place Walsh followed him and struck him. Smith watched a revolver from a drawer and attempted to shoot the policeman, and, as the cartridges would not explode, grappled with him. Other policemen came to Walsh's assistance and pounded Smith until he was senseless and started with him to the station. It was in this immediate neighborhood John Peterson was shot by Policeman. Mr. Peterson was shot by a detective. Attorney Jeremiah on behalf of the daughter and sentenced to 20 years in penitentiary, but secured a sentence and is now on bail.

Mrs. Stark, living and floor, says he heard him. through her alightheart, pleading with the policemen not to kill him. "The policeman who arrested Moody and brought him down from the roof says he arrested him on suspicion, but that later in the hospital Roche identified Moody on the brick thrower. Moody, dying bed, told Napoleon Wyatt that he had been lightly accused and murdered without cause." Later the policemen, bring in all directions, went across to the billiard and pool room of Walter Frazier at 235 West Old street and rushing pall moll into his place of business, where nothing had occurred, and where such were indulging in, and placed every man under arrest. According to the testimony of Frazier, one policeman said to the other: "Shall we arrest all of these men?" And one of the officers replied: "Yes." This they evidently proceeded to do. Upon the prisoners' arrival at the station—according to the sworn statements of Walter Fraster, John Fernando, Peter Fluan and others—they found prepared for them a modified form of the Indian torture called "running the gauntlet." Each man, after his name and address were taken, was led like an ox to the daughter pen, and when about six feet from the door, the lights had previously been turned out—was shoved headlong in; police officers with clubs proceeded to beat them upon the head and bodies until they were nearly dead. The station house responded with the cries and groans of the victims and after Robert Christopher's leg was broken and John Fernando's head had been beaten, the police evidently became satiated with their brutal torture, as the bodies were then turned on—and some were taken to hospital to have their wounds dressed, and those who needed no hospital attention were locked up. According to the statements of some of the men, none of them had a scratch upon him before entering the station house, except Arthur Moody, who was shot by the police, according to ten witnesses, after being paraded, as the who since died in the hospital; who was taken to the hospital; who was, according to the testimony of Mrs. Williams and Stafford Jackson, exxton of the Union Baptist church, while one policeman was holding him. Walter Fraxier, one of the six men taken from the billiard room at No. 225 West 62d street, said to a World reporter: "The first we heard of any trouble was when we heard the policeman in the froft of the billiard room the state of his pistol and blowing his whistle for assistance. We went to the door to see what was the matter, but none of us went out. After the police had taken several prisoners out of the saloon and put them in the patrol wagon they backed up to my door and took us all out. I don't know why they arrested us. None of us any real residence, and the police made no charge against them. We had been arrested only on suspicion. The patrol wagon was so full that some of us had to stand up." "In the station house they took our pedigree at the desk and as fast as each prisoner was recorded he was led to the back room, through which he had to pass to get to the cells. The lights were out it, this room and it was filled with policemen with drawn clubs. Before it was my turn to go in, heard the sound of the back room of other prisoners and heard them crying for money, frightened sick. When it came my turn I think I was struck about a dozen blows. I am sore and black and blue all over yet. Several of the blows were on my head." Frazer exhibited an ugly wound on the left side of his face just in front of his ear. He continued: "John Fernando was knocked senseless, and two policemen had to carry him to a cell. Later they took him to the station house, and then I took Moody out of his cell when the ambulance came, and he showed the bullet wound in his back to the surgeon. I don't know how Christopher's leg was broken, but it must have been done in the station house, because it was all right when he was arrested." John Fernando of 213 West Bird street says: "When my time came to be showed in and beaten, I was so violently pushed that I fell; and upon attempting to rise was struck a blow on the head, two wounds, and then I remembered no more. Fernando had to be taken to the hospital." Such was the condition of affairs, with over 60 men in jail at 32rd street or under trial, or transferred to the Tombus when Mr. Gilchrist Stewart, a member of the Law Committee of the 19th Assembly Republican Club, 60th street and Broadway, who had been previously securing bail for all of the men arrested, realizing that the matter was reaching further than that, he mattered. Lennel E. Quiggs and Hon. John E. Coleman, president 19th Assembly Club, and sat before them the situation. With that public spirit and sympathy for the oppressed and the desire to protect deserving Afro-American citizens which have characterized all of his actions, Mr Quiggs responded promptly and effectively by conferring with Hon. John C. Coleman; and a committee was by conference and telephone formed of Moss, Lennel E. Quiggs, John C. Coleman, Theodore P. Gilman and Congressman Jacob Van Walters who all deserving citizens arrested; to protect them by engaging attorneys to represent them; and to take all needful steps to probe the matter. Mr. Coleman personally took charge as senior counsel and adviser, and engaged attorney J. Frank Wheaton to represent, in conjunction with Mr. Gilchrist Stewart, all of the men in the 54th street Police Court. Twenty men were discharged of the number arrested Monday evening and were paroled Tuesday in the custody of Mosses, Stewart & Thomson. All were discharged. The Tombus being registrar Finn, as the complaining attorney, was to evidence except that they were arrested on suspicion of being "concerned in the riot." The committee as formed will protect all deserving citizens from persecution by the police. Mr. Stewart—immediately after the outrages were impcrimated by the police, sought the counsel of the editor of Tit Ace. Dr. Brooks of St. Marks, Phillip A. Payton and Attorney Wilford II. Smith of the Afro-American Realty Company, and others, and Dr. Brooks put the matter before the National Negro Business League; it was formed which waited by appointment upon Commissioner McAdoo Friday afternoon at 2:30 and was with him about two hours.

A general discussion of race conditions in New York city was by the commissioner, Dr. Brooks, and Mr. Gray art. The causes of race riots and the remedies were discussed. It was asserted in the discussion that the police are responsible for most of the race riots and troubles because the white toughs and hoodlums know that they, in their attacks upon Afro-Americans would have no interference from the police, and upon the sympathetic and support: while the Afro-Americans fear attack from the whites and expecting at the best no protection from the police, arms himself in self defense. ASK PASTOR TO Rev. Lockhier and C. Newark Plane St. Ch. NEWARK, July 25.—At the protest, elders and C. Plane street Presbyterian day evening, July 18, a d taken in regard to the actu, Rev. J. H. Lockhier, and adopted, in the Presbytery of Newark at Monday, July 24. These upon the action of the pe cycling in voluntarily Commissioner McAdoo then made the statement that no specific charges have ever been made and substantiated without his expelling the officer involved. Thereupon Mr. Stewart, arrawe and presented specific charges that men were brutally beaten in G5th street station; and Commissioner McAdoo declared that if charges were put in writing and presented he would order an investigation. Mr. Stewart has collected affidavits and has witnesses to testify that, Captain Cooney, who has charge of the station and is responsible for it, allowed men to be beaten. It was brought out in the discussion that the same kind of boating was given innocent Afro-Americans in his station five years ago, and nothing was done to him, when he was in control to the West. West Commissioner McMoon on Monday evening transferred Captain Cooney. The World says: "Police Captain John Cooney, who was in command of the West 68th street Police station a week ago Monday night when several negro prisoners were brutally clubbed in the back room, was yesterday transferred to the Union Market Station. Capt. Martin Handy was sent from the Union Market Station to fill the vacancy caused by Cooney's transfer, Commissioner McAdop, it is believed, made the transfers on the evidence submitted to him by a committee of colored citizens hosted by the Rev. Dr. William Williams of St. Mary's church in West 62nd street, captain McAdop differed materially from that of the committee which waited upon the commissioner. The orders of transfers were sent out late yesterday afternoon by Secretary Howell after Commissioner McAdop had left for a three-week's vacation, Mr. Howell, on behalf of his chief, gave out the following statement: "These changes are made in the exercise of my best judgment and for good and sufficient police reasons." A committee is being organized of representative colored men to engage counsel to represent the complainants in the charges presented against the policemen and Captain Cooney, Attorney Wilford H. Smith is at present assisting in the collecting of evidence and affidavits, and the investigation is still being pursued by Mr. Gilchrist Stewart. Upon evidence being put before the District Attorney's office that Moody was brutally beaten and shot by policemen and afterwards died in the hospital, and that Robert Christopher's leg was broken, Mr. Jerome began an investigation. Over 20 witnesses have been summoned in John Doe proceedings, some of whom were eye witnesses to the shooting of Moody, and other reputable citizens who saw him beaten by the police. There is plenty of evidence of manslaughter and felonious assault and the evidence is still pouring into Mr. Jerome's office. Doubtless some effective action will be taken immediately. BACK FROM LONDON. Dr. C. T. Walker and J. F. Robinson Here From Baptist World Congress. Rev. Dr. C. T. Walker and Rev. Dr. J. Francis Robinson, vice-president of the New York Baptist convention, arrived in New York Tuesday from London, England, where they had been in attendance at the Baptist World Congress.

Dr. Walker will proach Sunday morning at Abysinian Baptist church and at night in his old pulpit at Mt. Olivet Baptist church. Dr. Robinson may return to his Cambridge, Mass. home and rest a few days before assuming the duties of his charge at Norwich, Conn. ASK PASTOR TO RESIGN. Rev. Lockilier and Congregation of Newark Plain St. Church at Odda. Nawark, July 25.—At a joint meeting of the trustees, elders and congregation of the Plain street Presbyterian church on Tuesday evening, July 18 a decided stand was taken in regard to the action of their pastor, Rev. J. H. Lockilier. Resolutions were sent, and adopted in the preceding Presbytery of Newark at its meeting on Monday, July 24. These resolutions bear upon the action of the pastor last Sunday evening in voluntarily leaving his own church, and holding services in the Italian Presbyterian church; and conclude by requesting the presbytery to dissolve Mr. Lockilier's connection with the congregation. The difficulty between pastor and people was brought about by a question of making certain improvements and repairs in the church. The building inspector had been notified, had made a personal examination, and forbade the holding of services in the auditorium until some branching of certain parts was completed. At the time the pastor was given permission by the president of the church extension committee to worship in the Italian church, but without conferring with the descentors, the president of the MA was in the meantime received permission from the superintendent of buildings to hold services in the lecture room of the church, as there was no unimpeded danger. The president of the MA was in the meantime received permission with him at the Italian church, and the usual Sabbath evening number remaining at the old building, where a private service was held. The pastor having a small audience with him at the Italian church, and the usual Sabbath evening number remaining at the old building, where a private service was held, would not hold services in the lecture room of the "dangerous" church, as he called it. church be advised to accept the very generous offer of the church extension committee, and accept the Italian church prophecy and transfer its property to the committee. The committee pointed a committee of fire-three ministers and two elders—to investigate the affairs of the Plane street church, to confer with the minister advise a transfer, if it may be so agreed. Rev. John McDowell, Rev. D. W. Lusk, Rev. Jalius H. Wolf and Elder James P., Dusenbury, P., W. C. Crane, the minister did not appoint time of meeting with the committee in term services will continue. In the auditorium of the church. DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Lampton and other friends of the Afro-American Council who have been somewhat indifferent, of late, to the work of this organization, I address this appeal: "The recent dangerous, and, on the part of the police officers, encallaneous race riots in New York city; the lynching of seven Negroes at Walthamville, Georgia; the demonical reviews of Gov. Crowning" of the street cars of the leading cities of the South, and the peculiar political condition of helplessness into which the race has fallen, call loudly to the derelict members of the Afro-American Council and the friends of fair play to arouse themselves and do something to check this onslaught upon their civil and political rights. "It has been stated again and again that the Council has not done anything worthy of support, and that therefore it should not be sustained. This is a mistake. I know of no civic organization in our history that, through annual addresses sent to the public, has done so much to create favorable public sentiment as the Afro-American Council. What other organization of Afro-Americans has had the hardihood to meet at the Capitol of the Nation and in the shadow of the White House to criticize openly and above board the President (Mr. McKinley) for refusing to make some utterance against the massacre at Wilmington, N.C. of a number of inoffensive and innocent Negroes. A committee of the Council was sent to visit the President and to call his attention to this dereliction of duty. He will be had added to the prominent Negroes to keep quiet on the subject, but promised in his next message to Congress that he would advise against lynchers. He kept his word. "The Afro-American Council was the first organization to institute a test case against the constitutionality of the election law of the Southern States. It was the Afro-American Council that was successful in getting an expression from President Roosevelt against the Lily Whisitism of the South. Indeed, representatives of this body were presen- at the White House when his manifiesto breaking the backbone of this heresy was issued. "A certain course of would-be leaders opposed the Council from the start. They said it was organized to give prominence to certain individuals and for graft, and it did not meet the needs of the hour. The leaders of the Council thought, possibly, that they had made a mistake, and that they were not sufficient for the task, and decided to let those wise-earners form a better organization—one that would meet the needs of the hour. Up to this writing all their efforts have proved abortive. They tried utterly to destroy what had been accomplished and have not been able to organize anything. The Council had the respect of the President, and the leading men of the Nation. The leading daily papers gave adequate space to the addresses issued by the Council, with proper editorial discussion. The Washington Post and other papers of its class declared that the Afro-American Council would have to be reckoned with in matters concerning the race. In the face of it all, we were told that the Council had done nothing, hence it ought to die. "As we have waited and given others time to organize a better organization and as they have failed to do so, I am of the opinion that the men who gave the Council such unselfish support, should take hold again. We appeal to the pastages of churches, chief officers of benevolent institutions, editors of Afro-American newspapers, presidents of colleges, etc., to be present at the next meeting of the National Afro-American Council, which will be held at Detroit, Mich., August 30 and 31 and September 1.

Chancellor of Preparing for a Travel Atlantic Trip—"Made" in Concert on Sequester—French Train Impro- vise on Acquisitions—"Under the Bamboo Tree" in Paris Cate. Special Correspondence of the Ace. Park, France, July 5.—If you have never made preparations for a trip across the Atlantic, you have not enjoyed the fullest delights of anticipation. We have traveled from one end of the Ameri- can continent to the other—traveling being a part of our business—for weeks ahead the mere thought of our European trip caused a flutter of excitement about the heart, and that flutter of excitement in- creased as the time before our departure grew less. Were there ever so few hours in which to do so many things as were contained in the few days before we sailed? There were business deals to be closed, purchases to be made, trunks to be packed, unpacked, and repacked. And not the least part of the preparations, there were guide-books to be looked through, friends who had made the trip to be consulted, and friends who had made the trip to be listened to, all of them differing in their opinions as to what should be taken along, what should be left behind, what one should wear, how one should act. When you have made the trip you will find that none of them, books nor friends, are entirely right for you. One friend who has made the trip comes in and says: "You'll be in Paris in June, won't you? " "Yes." "Well, you won't need any, but the lightest clothing." "Thank you." Another friend who has made the trip comes in and seeing you packing says, "What are you taking all those light clothes for? Nobody wears that sort of stuff in Paris." Another friend, who has made the trip, comes in and delivers himself of the following: "If you are going to London you'll find it absolutely necessary to have with you a walking suit for morning wear, your frock coat for afternoon wear, and your full dress suit and Tuxedo coat for evening wear; together with your silk and opera hats." Another friend who has made the trip comes in and catching you working like a stewardess says, "What in the world do you mean by taking all that stuff along? Why, you won't need half of it; the less you take with you the better you'll get along. Why, the excess bargage rates in Europe will make all of those trunks cost you more than your gassage." After listening to so much diverse advice it is a wonder we didn't come without any clothes at all. We found the trip over not much unlucky any other trip by water, except that the time was longer and the boat larger. Most of the passengers, however, did cross specially for dinner; so we had occasion to thank the friend who told us to be sure and put our Tuxedo cords in our bag. A trump-Atlantic liner is in itself a great ship, and we were like strangers in a strange land; but before we left the ship we had formed quite a large number of pleasant acquaintances. There was a concert given, as is the custom on all the big ocean steamers, on the night before the last night out. Cole & Johnson, Hermann the Great and several other artists, were there about a week and did they make a greater 'hit' at Keith's. The orchestra honored us by playing some of our music every night in the grand salon. All together our trip across was delightful, and I would say to any of my fellow-countrymen of color who intend crossing the Atlantic that on the Ferry we would be pleased that of that familiar and not always pleasant American, or I might say Anglo-Saxon, atmosphere. On the morning we began to enter the harbor of Havre, the monotony of seventy days was instantly broken, and we began to take a lively interest in the strange rights about us, the quoaking fishing craft, the oddly constructed rig boats, and the great ships the world over. By 10 o'clock we were 'steaming' into great dock blocks, and these were directly the opposite of what serves the same purpose in the North and East rivers; instead of being piers jetting out into the water, they are great basins extending into the labd. The town of Havre is very old and very quaint, but its inhabitants are very much alive; as soon as we were ashore we were surrounded by men, women and children, each with something to sell, luscious strawberries and cherries, cigars, pictures of Havre, and a score of these vendors such that it is difficult to refuse to make a purchase. The very first impression I received of France was of the thrift of its people. As we stepped ashore our heads were in a perfect whirl of excitement. The rush for the Custom House, the cries and chatter in a strange tongue, all heightened the effect. We finished in a few minutes with the customs official, all heightened the effect. I could sight of it. I were obliged to stop and laugh. The giny engine, coaches, wheels and all look like a toy. I am sure that to oneongustomed to seeing the great giant engines and long Pullman coaches that pull out of the Grand Central station there can be no more condemned sight than the first one. A few minutes later, my friend of French trains rose in direct ratio with the distance traveled. I soon found that we were speeding along over a roadbed as smooth as a floor at a rate of 60 or more miles an hour, and rushing through tunnels two or three miles in length with windows wide open and a dust enough for a white dust cover and I very soon began to appreciate the privacy of our compartment, the same compartment which had first impressed me as a stuffy little hole. At Romeen we stopped for lunch—ten minutes was the time of the stop. As we made a rush for the lunch room my thoughts were naturally of ancient sandwiches and feeble coffee. When we reached the counter we found our landing and out paper boxes of 12 inches square and out a basket which he charged 3 francs (40 cents). When we returned to our car and opened our boxes we found that each was divided into three compartments, one of which contained a plate of cold roast beef and cold chicken, a small loaf of bread, a small cake, a little knife and fork, a glass collar of salt and pepper, a piece of butter, a piece of cheese, and a paper napkin. Another compartment held a pint bottle of coloater and a dainty drinking glass. In the third compartment there was a pint bottle of good cheese and a cork screw, which he itself placed on the knees made a handy dining table—all for 40 cents. When I had finished eating my opinion of French railroads took a decided upward jump. The solemnity between Havre and Paris I cannot describe, except to say that each semee has its own place in the city, and more than once I asked my companions to shake me so that I might had out whether or not I knew another Every hill seemed to be occupied. Of short intervals we got through quiet little towns and villages of bright colored houses that leaked for all the world on though they were painted on the green background. Everything was bright and clean. We were walking approaching to a house with a large window down in the States. We poured out much that covered cottages, but each one was as neat on the provincial pin and had in front of it the usual flower garden. We rolled into the great city of Paris at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and drove at once to the Hotel Continental—of the hotel, etc., I shall may move in my next. We arrived in two white Americans when we had met on the we went to the Marigny Theatre—more about that is my next. After the theatre we stopped in at one of the famous Parisian cafes on the Grand Boulevard, and there we had our first glimpse of safe life in Paris. There were perhaps a number of people in the seemingly bent on taking in as much as possible of the pleasure that Paris offers. We had been sitting for more than an hour smoking, sipping beer or coffee, and listening to the music, when suddenly we nudged each other simultaneously; the man spoke in a vividly popular, for many people were humming it while the band played. We amused unconciously and our thoughts flashed back to friends and familiar scenes; it seemed like a reminder of home and a welcome to Paris—the orchestra was playing "Under the Bamboo Tree." MORE ABOUT "NEGRO." "Ethic-American" Suggested as Substitute—"Nervous" Is Insulting To the Editor of the New York Age: Having noted the discussion in The Age as to the proper designation for the colored clothes, I desire to state my views in regard thereto. In the first place, the word "Negro" is not, nor has it ever been, the true name of any race on earth. It simply refers to the color of the race as being black, and, as you know, is an adjective derived from the Latin. As it is not the name of any race, there is no more reason why it should be spelled with a capital "N" than white or green, which is also the name of the race. "Negro" has been attached to us as a race designation, it by no means follows that we are compelled to recognize it as the name of the race, because it is not a proper noun. In the scripture the black race is called Ethiopian, and that the white state is called Ethiopian, and that the many are many Ethiopians in America yet, but as there are also those who have lost the pure Ethiopian state by amalgamation with musi and a word that will apply to them. To call ourselves Afro-Americans because we originated in Africa seems just an aburd as it would be to call Americans because they originated in Europe. We are Americans, pure and simple, and have certainly earned the name. When, however, it is desired to convey the fact that we are men of color, it is not better, than any other, because it includes all Americans who are of African descent. Possibly the term "Ethio-Americans" would be equally as good a name. In fact, all Africans are not Ethiopians and we are descendants of Ethiopians. The word "Negro" means black and does not properly include a man who is not actually black. We would be come under some other heading. Referring to the word "Negress," which an often appears in white journals, there is an up as an insult to colored women of Ethiopian descent. If a colored woman is as "Negress," then the word "whiteline," either way you may like it. One is equally as abused as the other. Even if the word "Negress" would be equally as ungrammatical as "Americanens," "Germanens," "Frenchens" or "Hollandens," in the rhetoric would be guilty of applying to a colored woman, and in most cases its use indicates low breeding and lack of character on the part of the user. Manila, P. L. June 14, 1905. NEW YORK POLICE BRUTALITY. Searching Investigation of Race Riots Demanded of Mr. McAdoo. From the New York Eventing Post. Mr. McMeadow calls upon the colored people of the relations district to surrender their weapons is a step in the right direction. But they are entitled to inquire why they should be compelled to disarm, and not the relations white people around them as well. After the testimony of ill-treatment of the white people apparently unworthy witnesses, Mr. McMeadow ought to initiate without loss of time a searching investigation into the whole trouble. Here is where an advisory much greater service than in telling him what officers to promote and which to pass by. It must not be forgotten that the derby clubs of three years ago were this. This was conatively proved at the time by the City but, no policeman was published. So far as the whites are concerned, the investigation webos as follows: "If only the white people don't get off seat free! They are much the more aggressive, particularly those on West End avenue. If only the white people are to be held responsible without further inquiry. If the whole affair does nothing else, it ought once more to call the Negroes to the low condition of both whites and blacks in the district between Sixteenth and Sixty-four streets and between West End avenue and Tenth avenue both ought to be taken in hand by the leading churches of the city. THAT HORSE STORY AGAIN. How Justice and Dignity Are Maintained in Georgia. From the Indurndent. That was a great day for lyrching in Georgia last week when a mob took nine men out of a prison, eight black and one white tied them up against fence posts and shot eight of them dead. One of them was only wounded and feigned death. And this is a civilized country! But if Georgia marksmanship is failing, the sense of public privilege is not maintained. In a small South Georgia town it is the rule that at a public trough a horse or male owned by a Negro can drink on the left hand side. Later, at a public trough a man can drink all but a dollar, and let it drink at the right hand side, which was all right, as it was supposed it still belonged to the white owner. Then it was owned by a Negro and had blood on it, which was arrested and taken to the mayor, who declared that as the price was so, nearly paid the Negro was the owner and must pay a fine of forty dollars. Then the owner would go to jail, but the mayor, judge then refused to allow it and ordered the horse sold at auction for the fine, and packed what was over for costs. Thus in one way the owner can digglify and justice be maintained. THE NEW YORK ACE steadily grows in size, appearance and make-up.

The Afro- American is always in the limelight. He is in day the most talked about mortal on the face of the earth, at least in these United States. Without him things would be so humdrum in the South that many of the newspapers would have to start to prating cotton statistics and census bulletin to fill out their regular issues. Many an orator, known to fame by reason of his pleasing metaphor and highdown hyperbole, would have been plowing the old red hills of most any State you could think of had it not occurred to him that he could away audiences and more multitudes to thunderous applause if he could but picture to them the faults of the poor black man. Many a seeker after literary fame would have been doomed to utter obscurity had he not discovered that his books would be printed, sold and read if they sought to perpetuate forever the northwestern of the "unapparent race." Many an embryonic legislator, and Congressman, too, if you will, would find that the best thing he was capable of in the halls of state would be to move to adjourn, did it not occur to him that he would gain great newspaper notoriety and the bill would be called by his name if only it was directed at the black man. There are Senators whose only claim to distinction is their unyielding and bitter invective directed against the helpless people whose labor has contributed in great measure to the advancement of such Senators. There are lecturers who could not draw a dozen listeners were it not for the fact that their lectures seem with derision and sarcasta of the race. There are two or three Northern magazines that have decided to build up their circulation especially in the South by heaping vitiluppation on the head of the colored man. There are several such prominent newspapers that send special correspondents South to write up the Afro-American on the spot, so to speak, and with a gentle hint to the mid-colored correspondents, it would seem, that the black man's faults are to be carefully looked after. As if by objection, there are Northern white men mobbling a group of Southern white men to attack Southern white men erecting monumentes of granite and marble to the memory of some black man who had been a credit to the town in which he lived. The Irishman may assume his pipe in force and be remembered only on St. Patrick's day; the German may plod his quiet way—save only those nocturnal ghosts in the study processes of the trench he is digging and never be heard from except when the Main valleys by night; the Chimman may refuse to land over the wash unless the ticket is forthcoming and the incident will be closed; but the Irishman will lambast the edition of color receivers is not yet visible for the unpleased eye. And since the Nero problem is such a popular thing to write and talk about, your correspondent will continue to do so to the end of this letter. In North Carolina they are debating the question of compulsory schooling. The state has often favorably by a great many of the State's best people, while quite a number are strongly opposed to it. By way of finding out how the farmers of the State felt with regard to the matter, the commissioner of agriculture sent out a large number of letters to them asking their opinions. The letters were of which there were very unique. The majority of the farmers were in favor of compulsory education provided it applied to white children only. The reason for this was explained to be that African American children would under the system repay as much钱 as white children and that it would unit them to duty as many as they cheeren out the like. Finally, would be dedicated and domestic help could not be hired. In Georgia the legislative Solons are wrestling with the problem of Negro disfranchisement, a subject just now being much talked and advocated by Hoke Smith, candidate for the governorship. There are those who oppose it, and they are not afraid of it. The educational qualification is one of the requisites, it will serve as a stimulus to Afro-American youth to get as much book learning as they can. Over against these arguments is to be put that of the people who believe and say that the more education a man possesses the better citizen it is. This is the case in Georgia the following from the La Grande Graphic, a strong Democratic organ, is significant: To distranchise the Negro would render us unable to reduction of our representation, and to the extent that it is at present we are as free from Negro domination as any State in the Union, and yet we have accomplished this result with the hands of criminologists and this ing. "An agitation pro and con seek this question, unnecessary as it is, must inevitably create in the mind of all thinking Negroes the impression that they are not secured. This will result in dissatisfaction, will affect seriously the great labor problem of the State, and hurt the farmers unquestionably in dealing with their bands. Judge Judeus will be able to prove that speech justly says that this Negro problem is a tremendous labor problem, and adds: "I believe this agitation will render more difficult the solution of the farm labor problem, and less difficult the problem of public speakers will be taken by him as his sentiment of the dominant race and lessen his confidence in the fair intentions of the white man. It is to be sincerely assured that yet be eliminated from future campaigns." "The proposed Negro districtionement cannot disfranchise the educated Negro; it renders his position more secure. It puts him in a position where he will further stir up the race to get educated so that they can vote. They are rushing to schools now. Northern money is pouishing in the South to educate them, and with a politicization of the Negro race, it will come, and from the present quiescent, indifferent condition of the Negro will come, by agitation, a harde of 'educated' Negro schools. The educated Negro, like the Ohio educated Negro, will have the balance of power." Those Jacksonville Afro-Americans are terribly in earnest, in their resolve not to ride on the "Jim Crow" street car. A friend of mine visited that city last Sunday and as he emerged from the station he was met by two determined looking colored men. "You are a stranger here," said one of the men to the man with the grip in his hand, "and we just wanted to say to you that we all refuse to ride on the cars that compel us to take the rear seat we want to ask you to do the same. There are colored car line here and we hope you will use it. Before you set on the "Jim Crow" line think hard a little while and then—walk." My friend promised to do as he was asked, and for the three days he was in town he never had occasion to be "Jim Crowed." The same thing is being done in Nassauville. THOMAS H.

Bobrow, Mann, July 3d. After Joseph was sold by his brother into Egypt he had his troubles; and we may be care that the lane of those trewnies was a long one. But long as it was, it had its turning after the lape of many years. Then followed years of honor and prosperity. The former, slave became the leading statesman of his adopted country, the prime minister of its ruler. He beow as during these years of his greatness he most talked of, the best known man, doubtless, in the Kingdom of the Pharaohs. At this period when Joseph occupied the centre of the stage, every Hebrew was at a premium, and Joseph's kindred occupied the middle of the road to Pharaoh's favor. Then there passed gradually over all this happy scene a great national change. Joseph grew old, his once strong hands could no longer hold the helm of state. And when he died and was gathered full of years and of honors to his fathers, the power which he wielded in his lifetime, the popularity which he possessed, passed as time fled apace to strange hands, to a line of Pharaohs and their ministers who knew not Joseph, who cared not for his descendants, for his race, except to oppress them. History is always repeating itself in one way or another. The short lived greatness of Joseph in Egypt, the popularity of everything Hebrew in the land of Israel, Harmon for a few biblical years, rejected themselves in America after the war in the popularity of the Negro at the North for a few brief years thereafter. He had given his all to the cause of the Union, slave though he was. And as men regarded the newly restored Union, and recalled how desperately near it it went to dissolution, and remembered the thrillingly effective part which the Negro bore in the great work of preserving it, its hearts warmed to him, and for the moment while the feeling lasted they felt that there was nothing in its temple of rights and liberties which was too good for Afro-American citizens. They placed him in the high positions of honor and emolument, and they bade him aspire to the highest offices in the gift of the people and Government. Well, he did aspire. He stepped into many places in the capital of the Nation which we had helped to save. He was hailed everywhere as a man and a brother. The sun shone on him. Light was ahead of him and darkness behind him. Perhaps he was not altogether wise. Who of the sons of man is? Perhaps he forgot too suddenly the terrible past, lived too wholly and care-free the life of the present, thought too little, perhaps not at all, of the barking pack which was even then barkingominously down the future, but he cared for the sounds of the hither days trooning steadily, nearer and yet more near with the lapse of each year toward him. His friends, like Joseph, grew old and one by one were gathered to their fathers. The Negro awoke with a start, for he found that the road had suddenly darkened, and that he was alone on it. And in his ears now he heard everywhere about him the wolfish pack, now snapping at his heels, now leaping at his throat. The evil days had indeed come. They were fronting him in his inexperience. And as he looked behind for succor he saw not Joseph but only the tomb of Joseph. The whole roadside was full of graves, the graves of his faithful old friends. And for a moment he was afraid. And such tragic changes his heart had seen for all round him then were strange forms, force faces, the strange forms and the three faces of foes, of those who knew not Joseph, who cared not for him except to curse his memory and the lot of his friendless descendants. In place of valiant defenders in the high places of power in the Nation, the Nero saw presently those high places swarming with those who knew him not, who cared not to remember how well he had served the country. He saw those high places darkening with open enemies from the South, he saw them darkening from the North. The men from the South said he was no good, denied to him the rights of a citizen, the equality of a brother. He was now how to be raised but to be put down and kept down below the level of the lowest and most worthless of the white. If he resisted he was lynched. He struggled to be a man, to rise in the scale to raise his poor black head, to be his poor black hands to grasp what he is to him under the Constitution of his country to make himself he heard in the courtroom, in the making of his laws, in the armed fight him from behind, terrorized him by night and day. His citizenship became a delusion the ballot in his hands a snare, and in the South land as near hell as the forces of hate and savagery on earth convert the condition of a race in America into one of diabolic torture and misery. And those beside these wicked faces of the Southern enemies began to crowd from the National stage the sinister faces of his Northern foes. Then the South clashed away with him, strip him of his rights as a man, of his liberties as a slave, put him down and keep him alone. The North echoed the cruel clamor consented to the crueller deeds of the South. From all over the North were the representatives of that section the seat of Government. They went there from, but hardly had they reached the capital when one by one they bowed their heads to the yoke of a Negro-hatred South, put upon their necks the collar of Southern prejudice, became incontinently double-face politicians. Northern men with Southern principles, and joined with the jeering and malignant comrades to make this a white man's country, institution or no Constitution, Christian or no Christianity, humanity or no The Northern representatives and their went to Washington as upon a occasion and made merry with the South as they sat in the seats of the These seats of the mighty overlaid as in a Roman amphitheatre on which the weak were fighting with the strong. There was and there was blood and the blows which the strong dealt the weak resounded or they ought to have resounded to that any throne from the North the seats of the mighty. The goak was the poor Negro every time and the trump was the South, was Southern prejudice. The blood of the poor Negro stained the sands of the arena; and as the South pressed him to the ground and put its iron foot upon his neck and its sword at his throat there were three thumbs that turned down than there were thumbs that turned up among that daily dressed company of Northern doughfishing in the seats of the mighty. And now, alas! when there rises in the Senate a Southern, barbarian like Tillman and puts out his brutal hate upon the侵占 Negro, there is no Charles Sumner to thrust the brute's mouth into the envisioned fifth. And when there stalks have the courage to be brave and to be brave. He is now so brave he has to be brave enough to be brave in the jungles of southern hardship. No, there is no braver in the scale of the mighty is summer or a storm to take by the thief the apprehension of the Norse to defeat with hissing rescues the bullies and blackguards and brushes of the South. But there are many, their name is now legion (the cowards!) who list up with the bullies and blackguards and brushes of the South to have a little fun at the expense of the poor Norse, to get in their blown at him as he is made again and again to run their cruel guantlet. written by the South with iron gloves beaten for his right, and beaten by the North because his outcries are too loud when he is hurt; because his loud outcries, forsooth, disturb the poor may excite for him sympathy in his sufferings and a wish, a purpose, on the part of some foolishly sedimental people, to rush to his rescue, and so check a growing good feeling between the sections. The good Negro nowadays is not the brave Negro, is not the Negro who demands his rights, or the Negro who denounces his wrongs. The Negro who today were to say with Patrick Henry: "Give me liberty or give me death," would be regarded either as a madman or a criminal. He would excite almost universal abhorrence at the North as well as at the South. And there is no language too documentary with which those in the seats of the mighty would not hold up such conduct as a reprobation and detestation of the American people, and people, as the conduct of an incendiary, of a stirrer-up of strife between the races. The Negro who stands up uncompromisingly for the rights of his race to-day in America is not a Negro to whom those in the seats of the mighty desire to get very close, but quite the contrary. They want to get close to the Negro who knows the immense difference between a theory and a condition, as they are fond of, describing the South's determination to put the Negro down and keep him down on account of his racial color. He is a Negro who gets the fat places near the capital, he is the Negro who is prudent, who puts a check on the expressions of his feelings, the Negro who knows how to be mum when those in the seats of the mighty bid him to be mum. The day of Douglas has gone, and of Langton and of Downing and of their breed. There are to-day no such watchdogs in office as they. Douglas, Langton, Downing, and their breed of watchdogs never for the sake of office and at the command of the occupants of the seats of the mighty, gave the approach of the common man toark at the bite such trespassers into the bargain. They barked in their day and they bit at the heels and at the throats of the foes of their race. But all this is now changed, changed in obedience to the behest which has come down to them from the seats of the mighty. There is scarcely left a feeble bark in the Negro office-holder in Washington to-day, and never a bite, be the provocation ever so great. Why, before one of this modern breed of watchdogs will so much as growl, he looks now to the seats of the mighty. And we do verily believe that if one of them were to show his teeth, he would be taken with mortal fear leat he might lose his job. No, he himself would almost immediately set about through the press to prove that a dog might show his teeth when he laughs as easily as when he snarls, and that on the particular occasion when he was supposed to have snarled he was not snarling at all, but only indulging in a sort of sly dog laughter, known only to and practiced only by this special breed of Negro watchdogs! Very good, we say to them. But inportion to be good for the bird, every time we never the bee. For while this particular breed of Negro watchdogs are catching, many a fat and juicy bone between their gentle jaws, the race is catching—is catching—well, it is catching something almighty hot. The word which stands for it in English we guess we'd better not remember at this time! We have just had in Washington an example, we were going to say a striking example, only it is not striking at all if by striking is meant something out of the ordinary; for the example which we are about to give is common enough nowadays in the capital among Negro officeholders. Well, to begin again after this long, parenthetic interruption, we have just had in Washington an example of the uses to which our watchdogs put themselves in these lives of their degeneracy from the days of Douglass, Langton, Downing, and their breed of watchdogs. Major Warner, the new Commissioner of Pensions, has just given the S7 colored employees of that Bureau a sample of his sense of justice and fair play, or rather he has taught them by acts which speak louder than words, that where they are concerned he means to throw his sense of justice and fair play to the "denim bow-wows," their claims or expectations to the contrary notwithstanding. What has Major Warner done to throw a line-light on his policy as the head of the Pension Bureau? He made $3 promotions at the beginnings of the new fiscal year among the 1,734 employees of that department. There was not a single colored man or woman among the large number of his promotions. They included char-women, laborers, messengers, and clerks. The eagle eye of the new Commissioner never missed once a white employee and so fell by accident, as it were, on a colored one. From bottom to top he selected his fortunate ones, and when the last was published there was not one on it who—from the viewpoint of race—was off-color. Why did the Pension Commissioner do this thing? Was it because he was unable to find one among his $7 colored employees worthy of promotion? Not at all. For anyone the most faithful and competent of his force are found many colored men. Why. Why, then did he pass them by when he promoted $3 of their fellow-employees? Did those $3 people receive promotions, all things else being equal, other faithful and competent employees, because they happened to be white, and the colored ones who failed of promotion fail because they happened to be colored? We think so. Now this incident secured an occasion for the present day Negro watchdogs to find their bark if not their bite. The older breed of Negro watchdogs would have found both. But the present breed sees in it nothing to bark for, nothing to bite for. No, they are too deeply engored on their respective bones, and when they are done gnawing them, they crawl contentedly into their luxurious official kennels, curl themselves up with infinite satisfaction and go to sleep, until one comes gently tapping at the gilded door of their kennel, and starts somewhere in their office, souls the dread of losing their wisp of straw and toothsome bone. Then are the old breed of watchdogs outhawed, then indeed are they outclassed. They have teeth under those circumstances—the new breed—and what teeth horrific, which say to all trespassers: "Boware, come not within our mouth or we bite, we tear our personal enemies to pieces. Avault! then, lest we break these chains of ours, and fall upon you as we have not fallen upon anything or anyone since first we found our official wisp of straw and fell to gnawing ravenously our share of the official bones." And so these latter day watchdogs stare over the rights of a race. Obviously, watchdogs like Douglass, Langton, and Downing in Washington to-day, watchdogs regardless of personal consequences, not afraid to bark and not afraid to bite. After American Representation for New Minneapolis County—"Foster Model" Wife Three Suspended Years by Afro-American Students—College Graduation in Windy City Regular Correspondence of THE AM. CINCASO, Ill., July 24.—I have been informed by the wise ones in politics that there is some likelihood of an Afro-American being nominated for one of the judgeships in the new municipal courts provided for by the last legislature. The new law, I understand, does away with the existing justice courts, which are an abomination, and substitutes in their stead what are known as municipal courts. These new courts will have a large jurisdiction and will rank in dignity with the present circuit courts. The salary of the new judges will be $6,000 per annum. We have in Chicago about 40 Afro-American lawyers. While they all want the nomination, it is no secret that not every one of the 40 is fit for the place. But several of them are well qualified by character and training to measure up to the requirements. The community has become quite accustomed to seein Afro-American lawyers discharging important duties as officials in connection with the law departments of the city and county. At present there is an assistant State's attorney, an assistant county attorney and two attorneys in the law department of the city. The salaries paid to these Afro-American lawyers range from $1,200 to $3,000 per year. They have all made good records and some of them have handled some interesting and important litigation in our local and supreme courts. With this record made by our lawyers and the liberal sentiment obtaining here there is ground for hope that some one of them may win one of the 25 or 30 prizes open to the lawyers of Chicago. The one unfortunate thing about the prospect is that some of the men most mentioned on the eligible list are the least worthy; whose success would be nothing less than a calamity. I can see some of them now strutting about with a mock judicial air that would be ludicrous in a matter less serious. It is admitted by those competent to speak up that would be worthy Afro-American to the bench of one of the higher courts it would mean a great deal in the way of giving our people of Chicago a higher respectability among the various races of men that make up the city's population. Every other race in this city is represented in the official force of the government in some commanding position. Every Swede, Pole, German, Irishman, Scandinavian, Italian and Englishman feels more secure in his civic rights for having high representation in the governing force of this great municipality. People in the mand for clean streets and police protection, park privileges, water accommodations or what not, their demands are never pigeon-holed. Our sole representative in the governing power now is Mr. Oscar DePriest, our present county commissioner. He was elected last fall and is admitted one of the best Afro-Americans ever elected to office in the county. He has intelligence, force of character, enterprise and the demeanor of a gentleman. If a man of his type could be elected to one of the municipal judgments the effect would certainly be an elevation of public sentiment concerning our present status. A community is apt to feel that a race of people who cannot win and creditably hold positions of public distinction and power like other races does not amount to much. A curious and interesting thing occurred in one of our city schools during commencement week. In this school what is known as the "Foster Medal," awarded always to the brightest pupil, was won by an Afro-American boy, the son of Prof. W. in this school by an Afro-American pupil, won in this school by Afro-American pupils successively during the past three years. The prize is one that is much correlated and is made much of by the board of education and the public generally. The white students in this school were much chagrined to be beaten by a colored pupil the first year, but they put up with it firmly resolving it should not occur again. When, however, a second year it went to a colored pupil, and again the third year, it was not satisfied with patience. Some of them went so far as to throw discredited eggs at the little black medal-winner. Edith Madden, the bright-minded little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Madden, was among the first to win the "Foster medal" two years ago; and since then it seems as if the colored pupils of the Chicago schools have formed a conspiracy to capture and monopolize all the medals offered for scholarship. If this thing keeps up, the Negro's intellect, rather than the Negro's ignorance, will be the real "menace to our Anglo-Saxon civilization." The alumni of Fisk University, residing in Chicago, met at the residence of Mrs. Fenton Fursh last week. This organization has already accomplished much in the interest of their alma mater. They are now planning to work with renewed effort in helping to add to the recent gift of $40,000 to be used in erecting a new science building. A number of graduates and undergraduates of Atlanta University most last Thursday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Cooke and formed a similar organization for the purpose of keeping alive their interest in Atlanta University and enlarging its influence and contributing to its support in every way possible. Mr. J. G. Lemon is president, with Mrs. Virgil Cooke as secretary. Among the prominent college and university graduates residing in Chicago are the following: Fisk, Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Cummins, Mr. S. M. McElwee, Dr. A. W. Wesley and Mrs. L. V. Cooke; Oberlin, Hale G. Parker, W. L. Martin and H. K. Loeb; Lincoln University, Franklin Dennison, Rev. M. H. Jackson and Dr. George C. Hall; Williams College, Mr. E. E. Wilson; Ann Arbor and Columbian, S. Laing Williams; Wheaton College, Theodore W. Jones; Chicago University, R. R. Wright and Hortense Parker; and Atlanta University, R. R. Wright, J. G. Lemon, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Carey, Henry L. Pope, Mrs. Virgil Cooke and Prof. Webster. This list is intended to include only academic graduates, not professional, and it is here given to show how many colleges and universities are represented in our city life, and also to satisfy the curiosity of many people as to what becomes of our college graduates. FANNIE BARRIER WILLIAMS. Baffling the Oppressor. From the Nashville Clarion. The colored people of this community, in the exercises of common sense, have left the "Jim Crow" street cars to the tender mercies, of the white people who made the "Jim Crow" law, to mollest unanimity they are walking to and fro in the city and up and down in it. Let them continue to walk, whether it rains or snows or the sun shines as hot as flames in Hades. The law was intended to humiliate the Negroes to obey objective laws and to vicious type, that they should, occupy an interior place. The Negroes think differently, however, and are staying off the cars. By so doing they, represent manhood, culture, independence and all of those nobler qualities that go to build a great race KINK·NE Great Hair Straightener and Grower Most Wonderful Discovery ever made for kinky, curly and knotty hair.

Published by FORTUNE & PETTERSON at Cedar Street, in the Borough of Manhattan, New York. Bishop Walters Appeals to the Old Guard. The Open Letter addressed to certain influential men and women of the race by Bishop Alexander Walters, and published on the first page of THE AGE today, sets forth very clearly and forebly the necessity for the continued existence of the National Afro-American Council and a renewal of native interest and participation in its affairs of the men and women who have been identified with its fortunes since its organization, in 1800, at Chicago. The AGE heartily endorses this appeal to the Old Guard to wake up and make one more brave and strong effort to place the Council in a healthy and helpful condition. We think now, as we have always thought, that the Council can be made a power for good, if the men and women interested in it will co-operate earnestly for the good of the work needed, to be done by such an organization; but we also believe that the Council cannot succeed under the rules of government it now has especially in the matter of membership, and that a proper change should be made at the Detroit meeting, based upon the sad experiences of the past. We wish that those who may decide to attend the Council meeting at Detroit will bear this matter in mind of recessing the basis of membership. Mr. Fortune may submit a plan, and we are sure that others will have plans, so that out of the whole what is best for the work should be finally adopted. We are reasonably certain that the OLD Guard of the Council will attend the Detroit meeting and give President William II. Steward the benefit of their presence and support in making the meeting one of the best and most successful in the history of the organization. We hope so at any rate. Certainly the race at large needs sadly the concert of action and interchange of views of the best and strongest men and women it has in all parts of the country. President Steward will return to the country next week from Europe when the work of making the Detroit meeting a great success will be undertaken in earnest. Contract Labor for the Panama Canal. The Panama Canal Commission has decided to employ contract labor to do the rough work of the canal, and bids are to be made in the regular way, barring none. It is expected that the necessary labor will be secured among Chinese and Japanese codies, and it is not expected that a higher rate of wages will rule than $1.50 per day. That the Commission has decided to employ contract labor is as remarkable in its way as the decision recently announced of the President to purchase the machinery and other supplies needed in the construction of the canal in the cheapest markets. This proposition raised such a storm of protest from the Protected interests, which have grown ploristic and insolent on the bounty of the people, that the President was compelled to modify the order. The wrong pocket nerve was touched by the order and the President deemed it the better part of wisdom not to drive the matter home. He will probably wait for Congressional action on the proposition. The small collection of men who control the Protected interests of the country are powerful enough to control the machinery of the Federal Government, and they do so when their interests are thrust on, as in this "buy in the open market" order and in most of the non-action of Congress since 1876 in the constitutional course of events in the Southern States. They had, manufacturing, railroad, banking and other interests in the South which required that the Constitutional rights of Afro-Americans should be ignored by Congress, and they were. Will this contract labor proposition for the canal around the trade unions of the country to protest, and all the rest of it? We doubt it. The manual labor on the Panama Canal cannot be done by white labor, and the trades unions are only instant and insistent in their demands for the enforcement of contract labor laws when white laborers are concerned; then they want the pound of fish. As in the capitalistic interests the trade unions are governed absolutely by rules selfish from every point of view. As long as their dividends or "full dinner pay" are not interfered with, as long as they are left free-handed to victimize the public, they have no "kick coming". The only labor element in the United States that can do the rough work of the Panama Canal is the Afro-American laborers. There is plenty of that and to spare; but the War Department, neither under Secretary Root nor Secretary Taft, has ever given this element any consideration ex- hope to who it all deserves. We pray! Because it is in our humanity, stability—a kind feminism must promise to find a pillar of support against or to pull down. The African American people should to compel respect for their rights and interests, such as in this canal labor as well as in the executive force of the canal, in which it has been contemporaneously ignored at every point. Our mean jealousies, which are of the frunted sort, make us the desperate of ourselves and the easy victims of the rest of mankind. We do not seem to learn wisdom in the hard school of experience. Steady Growth of The Age. The changes which have been made in THE Ack during the past year, as a result of the general demand for a great newspaper National in character, have been received with the warmest welcome by our esteemed contemporaries and by the general reading and advertising public. We are especially gratified at the expressions of satisfaction which are reaching us from far and wide on the recent change to the eight-page form. We have it in mind to preserve the present shape of the paper, as being both convenient to handle and artistic in appearance, but the restless desire we have to make the paper respond to the demand of the general reader and advertiser has occured us to make other additional pages to the paper in the future which will add much to the effectiveness of it. A twelve-page edition of THE Ack is the next improvement we have in contemplation, and we shall make it as soon as conditions warrant it. During the past year there has been a normal increase of five thousand subscribers to THE AGE and the circle of its readers is constantly increasing, so that we reasonably expect and shall strive to secure during the next twelve months ten thousand additional subscribers. We think we shall get them. The increase in the advertising space in THE AGE has kept pace with the increase in the circulation, the last issue of the paper containing sixteen columns, of three hundred and twenty inches of advertising matter. This feature of the paper will keep pace with the increase of circulation, as the advertiser responds readily to a circulation which promises adequate return for his expenditure. The next twelve months promise the normal development of THE AGE along all lines which make a newspaper strong and helpful; certainly we shall leave no stone unturned to keep the paper up to as thick a standard as the circumstances will allow. A Confusion of Editors. We advise Mr. W. Calvin Chase to woo out his editorial force, or so arrange it that his paper will not be continually contradicting itself on important questions. A recent editorial contained the statement that the 20,000 Afro-Americans in Washington will not support a race paper. This, of course, means that Mr. Chase's paper is not supported by the Afro-Americans in Washington. In the same editorial it is stated that the Washingtonians failed to support the paper edited and owned by the late Hon. Frederick Douglass, but only recently the Bee has been claiming that the race stood solidly behind Mr. Douglass in everything he undertook to accomplish. A Southern Problem-Solver A certain "Hum." John J. Ventrees recently published in the Nakashire Banner a series of articles on "The Negro Problem." As these articles merely restate the prevalent Southern sentiment on this question they do not merit much attention, but we will take up one or two points. Mr. Ventrees' argument, in brief, is this: (1) The costing of suffrage rights in the Negro would tend to introduce social equality and intermarriage; (2) therefore, the Fifteenth Amendment should be repealed. It is evident that Mr. Ventrees, following that most unjust principle, partus requirent centrum, has little opposition to make to cohabitation of black women and white men; but that he abhors the union of white women and black men. He apprehends that in case the Southern Afro-American recovered the ballot he would immediately legislate unto himself a white wife. But Mr. Ventrees must know that it takes two to make a marriage. Does he mistrust that the white woman, notwithstanding he speaks of her abherrence of the black man, would, if her choice were free, choose him in preference to the white man? Mr. Ventrees believes that all Afro-Americans are irreliably inferior to all white men. Of course this is untenable. He believes the Afro-American a peculiarly base race. Of course this is untrue. The basest thing about them, he says, is their desire to be swallowed up and lose their race identity in the white race. But the great number of Afro-Americans who are white in color and yet do not absend from the Negro race is sufficient refutation of this charge. But if it were true that the Afro-American race is peculiarly vile, Mr. Ventrees could not with the slightest show of consistency uphraid members of the race for seeking to escape from it; for such an attempt, from his point of view, would be necessary a landable aspiration to rise from the base to the high. But Mr. Ventrees, because his logic is faulty, does not see it in this way. One of his syllogisms is very amusing. It is as follows: (1) The South has disfranchised the Afro-American in defiance of the Fifteenth Amendment; (2) the South suffers some qualms of conscience over its unification of a law of the Nation; (3) therefore, let the Fifteenth Amendment be repealed. Here is an analogous syllogism: (1) A thief In the past we have taken the job with the law to teach us many more things by who communicates that he be learning the law. (8) therefore, he will have against house-breaking he repealed out of consideration for the feelings of the thief. \ We will drop Mr. Ventrees here with the remark that we are amused to find a man who belongs, by his own admission, to an almost perfect race, writing and thinking as faultily as he writes and thika. Race Riots in New York and Disarmament. Commissioner of Police William McAdoo has done a lot of loose talking about the race riots on New York's East Side of late, while the police under him have been unnrestrained quite indiscriminately all sorts and conditions of Afro-Americans who got within reach of their clubs. The sympathies of the police have been unmistakably on the side of the white law breakers and Commissioner McAdoo has backed up his force by talk, in which he has, with a jaunty flippancy surprising in one of his years, placed the blame for the riots outbreaks on the Afro-Americans of the disturbed centers even when the facts have skewed otherwise. Commissioner McAdoo wants all the Afro-Americans in the disturbed districts to disarm, and has issued a sort of ultimatum to them to turn over their guns, raisons and the like to him; and this in the face of the glaring fact that these same people have been jumped upon right and left by Commissioner McAdoo's police when they were defending themselves from the assaults of white hoodlums. The demand to disarm should have been made on all the residents of the disturbed districts, and Commissioner McAdoo found this out after making his one-sided demand. After he had seen several Afro-American delegations he dropped much of his jaunty air and appeared to look at the trouble from a brooder and more serious point of view. An order to disarm can only be effective when it covers all hellswings. The Bloodhound In THE AGE recently we reprinted in the Washington Evening Star, one of the best newspapers in the United States, a readable and informing story on the bloodhound, his development and usefulness in running criminals, or alleged criminals, to cover, with a significant statement of where the bloodhound is most generally used as a part of the alleged machinery of justice. Of course, that is in the Southern States. The barbarous thing came over from the system of slavery, when the bloodhound was used very generally to run down escaping slaves. The brute was never used to any great extent in the States of the Republic outside of the Southern States, and never will be, we are sure, because of the pure barbarity of it. We are not surprised at the announcement that the present Philippine Government has decided to employ the bloodhound as a part of the machinery of justice, as the present Governor, Luke E. Wright, is a Southern man to the core, and has a Southern white man's crude and barbarous sense of how to deal with alleged criminals or alleged inferior people. But we believe that this vile scene, crude and barbarous, is growing less so in the Southern States, and that in time it will have disappeared entirely. The deep damnation of slavery always has been that it brutalizes alike the slave-master and the slave. The bloodhound was used extensively by the crude and barbarous Spaniards when they controlled the affairs of Cuba and disgraced civil government on this continent; but we do not understand that the present authorities of Cuba employ the bloodhound as a part of the machinery of justice. Delaware is the only State in the Union that maintains the whipping post. Just why it does not also maintain the bloodhound as a part of its machinery of justice we are unable to say.

(Lengmann, Green & Co., New York. Net $1.50) embodies information concerning this strain on the Nation which every Afro-American should possess; and routes the palliations and favorable colorings of the crime which have, through the efforts of such as Thomas Nelson Page, been making such handway in American sentiment: "As we write, the morning paper reports, among other minor happenings, that a mob last night broke into a Georgia jail, lynched a white man and three Negroes accused of murder (their guilt at least doubtful), and three other Negroes, apparently on general principals. As usual, the sheriff refused to give up the keys until he was told that it would be expected; presumably, as usual, the mob included 'some of our best citizens.'" "This episode once for all decisively disposes of several of the most familiar assertions with regard to lynching. First, a white man was killed as well as Negroes — lynching was not, therefore, a penalty become necessary in order to maintain race supremacy; the charge made was that of murder, and had nothing to do with violence to women; the mob hung men who appear to have been guilty or suspected of minor offences, so that it has not a kind of last appeal in protection of life; there is no evidence that there would have been any trouble in securing a proper trial and conviction of all the criminals by the regular process of the courts. The affair was simply a variant of the English sportman's inspiration. 'What a beauti- ful day! Let's go out and kill something. "Inferences from a single case provile little, but the careful study of Dr. Cutler not only confirms such obvious generalizations, but for the first time furnishes a body of authentic material from which to draw more far-reaching and important deductions. In his preface, Dr. Cutler acknowledges his indebtedness to the generosity of Mr. Albert Matthews, whose researches into the origins and early instances of this practice are well known to readers of the Nation. It is not every scholar who for years has made such a subject his special interest, yet will cheerfully put his material at the disposal of a later writer. That early material has been supplemented by Dr. Cutler's own researches, and he has worked out for himself the question of lynching in the half-century before the Civil War, and also the awful growth and spread of the practice during the past forty years. Dr. Cutler's lynching chapter to the origin of the term lynchman comes to the conclusion that 'at some time between 1780 and 1817 the term Lynch's law became a localism in Virginia in the region of the James River. By the year 1819 it had spread as far West as Indiana, and by 1828 it had become still more widely used, but had not supervised all other terms for the popular administration of justice.' He is convinced that the Name is derived from Col. Charles Lynch, sometimes also called Judge Lynch, who set up a summary tribunal for the trial and whipping of Tories during the Revolution. The practice itself is traced by Dr. Cutler back to the middle of the eighteenth century. He has, however, left untouched a field of inquiry which may prove profitable, namely, the Spanish methods of offhand execution; it is well known that the Spanish Hermandad in the seventeenth century had, and executed malefactors right and left. Indeed, they had a regular system of binding the criminal to a post ('which shall in no wise have the form of a cross') when the archers were to 'use his body for a target and shoot arrows into his body until life shall naturally become extinct.' Is there here some distant prefiguring of the chivalrous practice of riddling a dead body with balls which is no frequent an accompaniment of orthodox lynchings? "The next stage of Dr. Cutter's investigation relates to lynch law from about 1750 to about 1830; and he shows that lynching usually went no further than whipping, or whipping and banishment. In this discussion a few references are made to the punishment of Negroes; to that list might be added the dreadful instance related by Hector St. John Crewe coeur, of the Negro exposed in a wooden cage, his eyes picked out by birds, for the crime of killing his master. In the chapter on lynch law from 1830 to 1800, Dr. Cutter successfully dispels the conventional statement that there were neither raps nor lynchings in slavery times, which page, in his. The Negro, the Southerner's Problem, "this expresses: 'No one will be instantly unknown during the period of slavery, and was hardly known during the first years of freedom; it is the fatal product of new conditions.' Dr. Cutter has discovered, between 1830 and 1840, six cases of this crime by Negroes against white women, in all of which the criminals were duly tried and executed; from 1850 to 1840 five were executed for the crime, and twelve were lynched, of whom four were burned at the stake. He shows further that in 46 cases of Negroes who had killed owners or overseers, 26 were executed, of whom eight were burned at the stake, and that there were also numerous lynchings of white men. Professor Burgess says, that only one abolitionist lost his life on account of his doctrine, but Dr. Cutter has collected numerous instances of whipping and hangings or shootings in another important line Southern mobs, another important line to show how lynchings for this period extended upon the Western frontier and into California. The reviewer has before him a tabulation showing, between 1823 and 1860, 56 indubitable cases of lynchings of Negroes and white men, and the list could be undoubtedly be much increased from the files of Southern newspapers. "Another delusion with regard to lynching is that it sprang up on account of the lawlessness of Negroes in Reconstruction times. Mr. Page is convinced that violence to women 'in due to two things: first, to racial antagonism and to the talk of social equality that inflames the ignorant Negro, who has grown up unregulated and undisciplined; and, secondly, to the absence of a strong restraining public opinion among the Negroes of any class.' What are the facts as shown by Dr. Cutler's laborious researches? That by the summer of 1867 the Kuhlux Klan was transformed into a body of regulators, which continued "The last chapter of the book deal carefully with the question of remedies and some remedy must be found or the practice will make still farther inroads into the West and North, where the systematic and sometimes hired assaults upon non-union laborers are closely skim in spirit and effect, to the worst lynchings. Mr. Page, in his book on the Negro in sure that most of the lynchings would be stopped if the Negro probed rape; he overlocks the fact that the same crime is not prevented by any degree of public sentiment acting on white men North or South; it is evident from Dr. Cutler's research that lynchings would go on, and will go on, irrespective of that particular crime. Apparently, the first remedy necessary in the case of a bone on the part of prison officials; if the mob knew that the only way to get a prisoner was to kill the sheriff, and still more, if they knew that he would sell his life dearly, three lynchings out of four would stop before they began. Nothing has done so much to shock the country and to convince it that the whole community (at least in Georgia) sanctions lynchings, as the criminal behavior of the militia who stood by and let prisoners be lynched under their nouns at Statesboro, and this State which for more than ten years has had a law making it a penitentiary offence "lynch any citizen without due process of law." Dr. Cutler analyzes the legislation several States upon this subject, and points out the sorrowful fact that such laws appear to have little or no effect upon the lynchings spirit, and that it seems almost impossible to obtain the conviction of a lyncher in any State. In fact, within two months, a brutal whipping of a man and woman in Marion, Massachusetts, led to prosecutions in which the jury obstinately refused to convict. "Another suggestion, which Dr. Cutter ascribes to Justice Brewer, is that the right of appeal in criminal cases be taken away; this is closely akin to a remedy which as Dr. Cutter shows was actually practiced in slavery times, namely, the establishment of extra-judicial tribunals for the summary investigation and punishment of crimes of peculiar atrocity. Such tribunals, composed of men of standing, would go as far as any machinery to ascertain the facts, and would remove the excuse, which Dr. Cutter proves to be lifeless, that without lynching the criminal would escape altogether. Dr. Cutter's pancake is the slow rise of a more intelligent and humane public sentiment; as the Negro becomes more valuable industrially, there will be less inducement to extinguish member of his race, and officers of the law will do their duty better. It seems a tedious writing. Dr. Cutter has done much to solve the problem by his laborious, careful, and candid study of the question, which has already made him the leading authority upon a dangerous social disease."

New York city, July 9, 1905. Jaundiced by Failure. From the Independent It was at the last chapel service attended by the Senior Class at Amherst College, June 10th, that Professor Grosvenor made them an address from which we cull these words: "From the ranks of college men are recruiting the chronic fault-finders, the censorious doctrines, the disbelievers in the integrity of Church, and State, of clergy-man and statesman. In our opinion almost everything done is wrong. If by chance anything done be right, in their opinion it is done in the wrong way. God keep every man of you from sympathy with penimists, above all from fellowship in their acrimonious company." That is healthy talk. These doctrines always are cultivated in the atmosphere of criticism of achievement. It is true that they are college men, but jaunched by the failures of their college ambitions everything looks evil to their perverted vision. for Afro-Americans. While it believes in the principles and policies of the Re publican party, THE AGE reserves the right to criticise Republican men and policies when the interests of the Afro-American people or those of the country appear to require it. A newspaper organ, which allows its opinions to be dictated by party platforms without reference to the public weal, is among the most dangerous forces in a Republic. THE AGE has a larger number of readers distributed among a larger number of States of the Union than any other Afro-American newspaper. THE AGE has a larger and stronger staff of correspondents and special writers than any other Afro-American newspaper. THE AGE prints a larger volume of original matter of news and opinion every week than any other Afro-American newspaper.

The National Negro Business League will meet in annual convention in New York city, August 16, next. The meetings of the League in past years have brought together many people of culture and wealth who were not members of the League, but who were interested in its good work and found it pleasant and profitable to attend the meeting. It is probable that more of this element will attend the New York meeting than have attended meetings in other cities, mainly because New York exercises a magnetic influence.

Scotten, the Rev. of Brooklyn, differed before the Relief Society of Brooklyn Baptist church, Vanderbilt and Atlantic avenues; Brooklyn, the following address, praiseworthy in that it does not blink unpleasant facts but looks them intriguingly in the face; and thereby replaces impressive, the optimism with which it closes: "The American Negro is advancing as rapidly that it is quite impossible to record the new scenes on the panorama of life as they-pam before one's view. His advancement as compared with many others in point of time is marvelous, as fast indeed that we can record the distance over which he has panned each year, while the advance of others, as noted in history covering long periods, seems slow but moving. In writing this I am not claiming any special racial ability for the Negro. I have chiefly in mind those modern aids to progress' which inventive pupils has given to the world, and which it has been the good fortune of the Negro to be availed of since he became a free man, namely, the press, telegraph, telephone, stenophone, railroad, and public school. The American Negro has had the good fortune to be placed in the midst of a people capable of the higher development and devoted to the civilization that started upon the journey of empire-building, led only by those high ideals which are the flowers born of Christian teaching and which make it impossible for them to stand still or to retrograde. "Divine Providence, it seems, willed that the angel of light, love and fraternity should set his foot upon this soil at almost the same moment with the demon of slavery, darkness and despair. Little did those passengers in the little ship which delivered them safely upon Plymouth Rock know that the faith which they professed could be beaten the hardy at Jamestown had been handed men in chains. Nearly two and a half centuries passed before these opposites, each having impressed its convictions upon the millions which followed, took their stand and faced each other in deadly combat. Puritan faith, in about the space of one and a half centuries, had taken such a hold that it won the greatest of declarations, that 'all men are created equal'. It took quite another century to realize set out to unite the hour when the Nero slave had passed through the fiery furnace and became a free man; when the faith of the Puritan had been vindicated in works. "And now comes the trial of the man over whom during two and a half centuries the fiercest possible discussion has been waged; to free whom, to vindicate still further Puritan faith in manhood equality, great streams of blood have been shed the exorcist trial of the man questioned. Is he equal to it? They contain much to be proved beyond persecution, to settle the question in the minds of men. "But we have already said that the Negro has advanced rapidly. Yes. He certainly has, seemingly beyond all comparison. But he is moving along with the age, with others he is advancing in a great vehicle, is in its very midst, and it would be quite impossible for him not to advance. He is being carried along with the rest of the people, but that he is contributing to the force that moves things, that he is not dead weight or simple ballast, not clinker in the trunk but good coal affording both light and heat. Has he any power of movement? If so, what does he propose to do? These are the all important questions that the Negro must answer and which will take him years to settle in the needs of men. Many are speaking worldly encouragement and of common sense of him building that manly arm. to my welfare are evidences of his surely, but must they be ac- cused as proving anything creditable to What can the Negro do for himself? What is he doing? In the answer to the questions lies the 'Future of the American Negro. Neither promise uni- nities, colleges or schools that white men are nor praying fervently in the churches which their donations for us, will be taken as the com- promise of our equality; but rather what we shall do for ourselves and help that we shall be to others be the I have heard the preachers say that taking is so dangerous to the human self as beginning self-satisfied. The United States Commissioner of Education associated with having said at a school gathering in the West: "The East has been for so long a time overjoyed at her educational accomplishments that she has lived in self-contemplation, while the West has forged ahead and is now in the back. That is a dangerous position to get into, and it is to be hoped that America may avoid it, and that the American Nation may avoid it also. I do not wish to present a bouquet to the fortune certainly not one without thorns, simply because I cannot say, with that degree of certainty which I should like to tell, that the future of the American Negro is assuredly bright. In fact, had I seen the fruits of Hampton, Tuskegee and like schools, I should feel extremely doubtful of the Negro's ability to abstract of those races older in the face of civilization, with centuries behind them of contact with the world's men. I have hardly to go beyond the years of my own individual experience hereabouts to find cause for grave wrath. Note in this city, which has shown so rapidly that it seems to have been raised by the touch of a wizard's hand, the place in its industrial history that the Negro held forty or fifty or more years ago, the opportunities that please his to build up and to accumulate, and how these opportunities were neglected. This is evidence of a people endeavoring, no, not overcome, but simply retiring without a contest from the ones which were not only theirs but indeed theirs, before the influx of those peoples who represent all that remains of the ancient Greeks and Romans. The Italian, Sicilian and Greek, for- ward to America's language and institu- tions, occupy quite every industry that was confessedly the Negro's forty years ago. They have the boot-black stands, the news-stands, barber shops, waiters' stations, restaurants, janitorhips, cat- toring businesses, stewardoring, steamboat and other situations once occupied by Negroes; and furthermore occupy the houses which were once the homes of Negroes, only the Negro paid rent while they were here. while the Italian is now the owner. Look at West Broadway, Lawrence street, York street, Thompson street, Sun- bru street, Woolsey street, Sixth street, Thomas, Worth and streets, in New York city to-day, and think of those streets forty or even thirty years ago. Look at the ground upon which we now stand and on the section What remains, I again ask, of the once proud situation at Wendoverville? What is in evidence there of Negro thrill? Well, possibly, a few houses recently acquired. I walked for blocked and black, recently through that district, and found it strewn with little storm, mainly of produce, native and foreign; every step beet by an Italian and somebody one in which there was not a Negro present as a buyer. One place only was kept by a Negro, apparently, and that was a pool or billiard room, filled with young men who were making the echoes sound. The guitar, fiddle, banjo, accordion, melody and even piano were all giving evidence of happiness and contentment amount our purpose: but the Italian was doing the business. Certainly these gleamy pictures are not all that the Negro has to show in forty years abroad, but it does show that he has so no means taken advantage of the position which he held. If we were to ask why any in the past in any line of identity why are we at the bottom of it to-day? That is the question. In these cases obviously beating to the Negro years ago he has been entirely supervised by the Italian. How far in this direction can we go without getting off the earth entirely? These changes the Negro cannot get to color prejudice, surely. Using this as a basis of calculation what could one say of the 'Future of the American Negro?' "But it happens that this is not the whole story. Nevertheless, dwelling there and noting these evidences of thriftlessness in those of our people coming under my personal observation have been a source of moth anxiety and doubt, oppressing my mind with what has named a constant nightmare, never relieved until by good fortune I attended the convention of the Negro Business League at Indianapolis last year and noted the rapid advancement of our people in the South and Southwest. There I believe I discovered the key to the whole situation; the Negro thrives best under adverse circumstances, opposition. Place obstacles in his way and he will surmount them when free to do so, but remove every obstacle from his path and he becomes indifferent and slackens his pace. "If you could but have heard the stories of those men at Indianapolis, the heights which they have mined and the obstacles which they have vanquished: if you could have heard the stories of these self-same men who are about to visit our city in August, every doubt would be removed from your minds, if doubt there has ever existed, as to the 'Future of the American Negro.' There seems to be no sphere of business activity that he has not entered because of his experience, from banker and railroad builder and builder, sand-nere farmer and builder of immense structures of iron, wood and stone, down to the manufacture of the simplest articles of commerce. He owns and builds steamboats and railroads, deals in immense quantities of cotton, grains, fruits, vegetables and lumber: is the chief contractor and bidder for large public works and undertakings, has the largest supply of carriages on bikes, or is the professional man, doctor or dentist, having the largest practice of his neighborhood. Hear the stories of the brave spirit of truthfulness of them that will afforded you next month and you will feel assured that the 'Future of the American Negro' is bright, that he shall reach the sublimest heights attained by every other race in America. But then comes still the questions? When opposition to him ceases, will the conditions noted here about be repeated, and is the Italian still to follow and supplant him?"

CHANSPLEL, President, Greenville Normal and Industrial School. Greenville, Tennessee, July 10, 1905.

The paper is a wonder and meets with general favor. C. A. C. BREMAN. Middletown, Conn., July 16, 1905. To the Editor of the New York Age: In your last issue I found many letters of much interest and hope all your readers read them. Among them were the Washington and Atlanta letters, and the article from the New York Tribune. In the "Note and Comment" the writer says that we are not Negro but Afro-American. The name of Negro bldges bldges our success than any other thing. R. H. BALL Lawrence, Mass., July 20, 1905. To the Editor of the New York Age: I want to congratulate Mr. Fortune and all the rest of the staff upon the perfectly admirable appearance of TITI AGE. TITI AGE is immeasurably superior to anything ever desired in Negro journalism. With a long and highly hardy career of service behind it, TITI AGE displays today not merely the poise and horizon and sincerity of touch and soundness of judgment that come with age, but also all the vitalities of youth not the mere youthfulness but bournfulness. Roscoe COOKING HUTCH. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., July 15, 1905. Africa for the Africans Dr. Carl Peters declares that he does not think the white man is going to make a permanent impression on Africa. He says: "I believe that the time is coming when the last white man will leave these shores, and then this will be again, as it was for centuries, a black man's country." This is a dark outlook in more venues than one. But with the Cape to Caliro railroad pushing on, the Uganda railroad completed and the white man carrying his civilization into the land at a hundred different points, it may well be believed that, if the time predicted by Dr. Peters ever does come, the white man will leave Africa more advanced than he found it, and the black man so unplifted in the scale of civilization that he will be worthy to administer the affairs of the continent. The white man may ultimately retire, as Dr. Pretzprefect. Prophecy is something which does not admit of contemporaneous contradiction, but the white man has a mission in Africa and will hardly retire leaving it wholly unaccomplished. AUTHOR: JOHN H. HARRIS, AURORA, CA. THE NEW YORK TIMES SUNDAY, JULY 21, 1920. AUTHOR: JOHN H. HARRIS, AURORA, CA. THE NEW YORK TIMES SUNDAY, JULY 21, 1920. In the Independent of July 21, Mr. Franklin H. Quillan, "who as a postmaster at Birmingham received his M.A. degree last month," and who "is making a special study of the Negro question," writes of the town of Syracuse, Ohio, where "he Negro is permitted to live." After something how visiting Afro-Americans are an evening falls chanced out of town by crowds of boys armed with sticks, he tells the and story of the only Afro-American girl that ever graduated from the Syracuse high school. "Observed family lives in the country on a small farm, just beyond the town limits. The father, whose name is Rush Johnson, come there during the Civil War, and he tells many stories of how he was brutally stoned and in other ways warned to leave the country. He was a courageous, industrious, and brave Negro, and in a few years so won his way that he was permitted to stay without being molested. However, he and his children have never dared to come into the town after night. "The oldest son of his family, in resentment at an insult one day, struck a white schoolmate. He was pounced upon immediately by a mish of white boys, brutally bent, and jolted over a steep embankment, sustaining many injuries. He left school, went West, worked his way through college and is now an elequent minister of the gospel in an African church in Illinois. "A daughter of this family attended the high school in the class before that of the writer of this article. Living within the limits of the high school special district she could not be debarred, but was practically sent to 'Coventry.' None of her schoolmates ever talked with her, and they objected so much to sitting near her that the principal had to arrange a desk for her completely removed from the rest of the school. She was scarcely if ever called on to recite, while, all her classmates were reciting continually. For weeks it seemed the poor girl never spoke a word from the time she got on the school grounds until she left. Through all these and many, more discouraging circumstances the brave girl struggled on through her four years' course, passed her examinations, and was within two months of graduation when she was attacked by consumption and compelled to give up her school work. Then for the first time the heart of the town was touched by the sufferings of a colored person. All knew her case, had seen her struggle, most had opposed her; but at last sympathy sprang up. The board of education suspended their rule requiring that all students in the Mint Maragaret Johnson her diploma, complimented her upon her unusual pluck and perseverance, and wished her a return to health. "During these two months of illness before commencement she was not idle. For four long years she had gone to her school regularly, had studied her lessons, had attended her classes, like the rest of her classmates, and during those years she, too, had thought of the night when she should stand before her friends (her family, of course, for none others of her race dared come into the village) and should receive the diploma that would crown for her so many hours of weariness and of longing. So during these days of sickness she proactively and prayed that she might be permitted to read it, along with her classmates, for she was always eager to do as they did, although she knew that she was among them but not of them. Whatever her bitter thoughts, she never expressed them; never once had she complained of her treatment or shown resentment. "On the day when the long looked for commencement exercises were to be held in June, 1886, she appeared in a carriage and was assisted to the front seats, where she sat by the side of her father and two brothers, but her mother had recently died of the same disease that had seized upon her. She was too weak and ill to sit upon the platform with her twelve classmates, and so with sad but triumphant eyes, sat facing them. Were they proud of her achievements? Far from it. Several of them until the last minute stronely objected to graduation with a colored person, as though it were a disgrace that would be visited upon their children to the third and fourth generation. "Finally the name, Margaret Johnson, was reached upon the program. Though aware that she would not be required to read her essay, she insisted upon doing her part. Rising from her seat, she took a few steps forward, but was unable to mount the platform; so she turned where she was and in a low voice, scarcely above a whisper, read her essay on the threadbare toonie. Perseverance," but it was a theme that burned with life for her, the first and last of her race to stand before a Syracuse audience. "Thus she triumphed, the diploma was hers, won on just the same grounds as those of her classmates. She had done her part in winning respect for her race, but the sacrifice had to be paid. Two weeks after her triumph her course was run. Consumption, the disease so destructive to her people, claimed one of the fairest flowers of the race." "While this girl showed to the white people of the town the possibility that the Negro might amount to something, that he might possess some qualities that they admired but, did not always show themselves, yet she could not dispossess them of the prejudice that had been nominated nine years still no Negro lives within this Northern town, no Negro works alongside of the white man during the day, and no Negro so much as breathes the night air within its gates." Black Man's Origin Settled at East, From the National Baptist Union We have been accustomed to all sorts of theories with regard to the origin of the Negro race. It has been claimed that he is a descendant from Adam through Cain. If (Cain) is true, there would be Negroes in the world so-day, because the descendants of Cain perished in the flood. (Gen. 7: 23). It has been claimed also that the Negro is a descendant of Ham through the story of Ham in not true, for the Negro, according to the Bible, is a descendant of Cush. Municipal corruption has been absorbing much of the attention of the press and public during the past year. The scandalous condition of affairs in St. Louis found a Folk to cope with it, and that of Philadelphia has found in Mayer Weaver an energetic man in a position to go at the root of the matter.

C., July 28—Gap of the most important Bureau in the Federal service in the United States Patent office, where more than five hundred Aro-Americans have taken out patents on inventions of every kind and variety. As the field of invention is practically limited, so is the variety of things for which patents are granted. Every man who makes an invention can have the merits of it tested through the proper channels in his great Government workshop. To do this important work requires a force of nearly 500 educated men of all knowledgeable technical training and scientific attributions, known as examiners and assistant examiners. There are thirty divisions in the patent Office, each presided over by a principal examiner, who is required by law to be especially fitted for the task. The examiners are required to take the size questions of similarly in construction between different machines and of applying the legal principles involved in the construction of such machines, whose salary is $2,500 per year, has in his division a number of assistants whose qualifications must be similar to his own and who are required to take the pay of the latter being $1,400 for the first assistants and $1,600, $1,400 and $1,200 respectively.
