OLD GLORY FOR ROOSEVELT.
BUT RICHMOND FURLS STARS AND BARS DURING HIS VISIT.
No Memento of the Late Unpleasantness to be Displayed—Paradise, Speeches and a Parade Planned—School Children to Greet Him in "Jim Crow" Lines—Afro-Americans Ignored in Naming Committees—"Princess Bonnie," a Comic Opera, Admirably Rendered by Dramatic Association—Next Friday a True Reformers Holiday.
RICHMOND, Va., October 10.—This city is all in a gatha attire to greet the President of the United States when he pays us a visit Wednesday next. Main and Broad streets, the principal business thoroughfares, and Franklin and Grace streets, along which the Presidential party will move are soeas of bunting and flags. The city hall and the governor's mansion are elaborately decorated, as are the other public buildings of the city. The State House is being remodeled and of course will not be decorated.
From every flag staff in the city Old Glory is flaunting. While the flags of all nations have been unfurled, emblematic of the solemn in which the President is held by the peoples of the world, but the Stars and Bars the banner of the "Lost Cause," have been furled for the nonce, and there will be no reminder that Richmond was the cigar of a Confederacy that sought to dissolve an indissoluble union of States. The city council has made provisions for the purchase of flags for the school children in the city, and they will be drawn up in line from Ninth and Broad streets to Adams, on beaches of distance of fully 10 miles. More American flags on the one side and the whites on the other. Twenty thousand will wave flags, strew flowers and yell themselves hoarse as the President moves down this thoroughfare.
Mrs. Rossevelt will be here and she and her distinguished husband will be the guests of His Excellency Governor Montague, and Mrs. Montague during their brief stay in Richmond. The President will speak from a platform being held at the Montague Temple, he will be driven to Masonec Temple the covers will be laid for 400 and a banquet will be held.
In the appointment of committees, etc., Afro-Americans have been severely ignored, although a short twelve-month ago they were hollowing themselves hoarse for Roosevelt, while the white people and press, who were out-Heroding Herod in vilification and abuse of the man, are moving over each other in an endeavor to destroy the Terroristibility of the State and the cadets from Buckingham and the Virginia Military institute will participate in the parade.
The comic opera "Princess Bonnie," was presented last Monday evening at The Reformers' opera hall to one of the largest and most fashionable audiences that are assembled there. The play was most elegantly staged. Mr. William B. Snyder, Jr. as "Shrimps," Mrs. Marian Patty, as "Kitty Clover," Mrs. Fannie Patty, Walker as "Bonnie" and Miss Marcia Tinsley as "Auntie Crabb" and their interpretation of the character would credit theatrical productions. The "Admiral Pepo" of Mr. Samuel L. Johnson, the "Donna Pepo" of Mrs. Carrie E. Hawkins, the "Stirling" of Mr. Henry Pleasance, the "Count Castinetti" of Mr. J. Woolfolk, were excellent. The chorus was well balanced, the chorus was beautifully being made by the participants being the product of St. Luke our Afro-American depart- which Mrs. Maggie L. Wallis.

PRESIDENT OF ALL THE PEOPLE
Roosevelt Veterans South's Scheme to Bar Afro-Americana From Meetings MONTGOMERY, Ala., October 12.—As an example showing how newspaper dispatches sent from the South to the North miirepresent actual conditions, your correspondent calls the attention of your readers to a dispatch recently sent out from Mobile, Ala., to the effect that President Roosevelt had refused to go to a colored church to speak to a colored audience.
The facts are that when President Roosevelt found that in several of the Southern States preparations were being made to keep the colored people away from the church, he spoke and to set them aside in separate meetings, he set his foot down hard and sent dispatches to the several cities to the effect that he wished to have all the meetings arranged so that he could address all the people at the same time and place. "All the people" are the words Secretary Loeh used in the dispatch.
The result of this telegram is that the plans for the meetings had to be overhaul in many cases and arrangements made by which no discrimination will be practiced against the colored people. The President not only took the ground that he as President of all the people had no right to set the example of and white people at one place and black people at another, but he did insist on each occasion that such arrangements be provided as will permit the colored people to hear and meet him in the same way that the white people hear and meet him.
CHARLESTONIANS BACK DOWN.
Forgetting Crum and Washington,
The Dix With Hogwash
WASHINGTON, October 12.—The President has as guests at lunchon to-day Mayor Rhoeft and former Mayor J. A. Smyth of Charleston, S. C. The lunchon was in the nature of a love feast. Both the Mayor and former Mayor are Democrats, and they were formerly hostile to Mr. Roosevelt, denouncing him repentantly and with great bitterness, when he insisted on the appointment and confirmation of Dr. William D. Crum to be Collector of Customs at Charleston. When Washington became embellished, that they would go to the White House during Mr. Roosevelt's term even if invited.
Mr. Rhett and Mr. Smyth came to Washington for the purpose of arranging for the presentation of a silver service for the new cruiser Charleston, and after visiting the Navy Department they went over to the President's office to pay their requests. They were cordially received by Mr. Roosvelt, and he asked them to return to the White House in time for luncheon.

MORE OPPOSITION TO GORMAN.
Foreign Born Citizens Fear Amendment Will Distract them
BALTIMORE. October 15.—An organization has been formed composed of foreign born citizens representing nine nationalities to co-operate with the Independent Democrats and Republicans in fighting the German Negro disfranchisement plan. They charge that the proposed Constitutional amendment, while intended on the surface to disfranchise the Negro will have the effect of disfranchising local foreigners who are not well educated.
A committee has been appointed to confer with the independent Democrats and with the reform league for common action. An appeal has been issued addressed to all foreign-born citizens declaring the amendment to the right to reside in the United States of all naturalized citizens and foreign persons unless they can exercise section of the Constitution read to them in English to the satisfaction of a majority of the registrars.

FORCED THEM TO CLOSE SCHOOL
Mississippians Angered by White Teacher in Private Institutions.
CLEVELAND, Miss., October 13.—It has become discreditable and dangerous in the State of Vardaman to attempt to lift up a downrodden people. In Merigold, about seven miles from here, the son of a Chicago millionaire owns considerable land; and being saddened by the deplorably inadequate school facilities afforded the Afro-American children of this vicinity, decided to supplement them with an independent school, to be maintained entirely by himself and his associates. He was reinforced by a white Catholic priest, also from Illinois, and the school was started in a Catholic church, with the priest as teacher and about 40 Afro-Americans as pupils.
The fire of the "best citizens" of Merigold. They hold an indignation mass meeting, cited the patrons of the school before them and ordered that the school be closed and abandoned. The "best citizens" are still putting themselves on the back because of their moderation in not lynching the two philanthropists and burning their school.
WILSON'S GREAT DISCOVERY.
Just Finds Out That Agriculture Will
Solve the Problem.
WASHINGTON, October 12.—Secretary Wilson has in mind a plan to uplift many of the Afro-American people and make them self-supporting by giving them a knowledge of general agriculture, and thus enable them to do something else besides raising cotton. As the result of a conference between Secretary Wilson and a prominent planter, William Polk of Alexandria, an expert will be sent to Alexandria and a government experiment farm conducted on which knowledge of will be carefully taught to Afro-Americans. Mr. Polk, who has studied the situation carefully, contends that it is better to teach the Afro-Americans to farm intelligently than to have them learn trades.

NEWARK CHURCH'S GOOD-BARGAIN
Given Low Price for Building of Decayed White Congregation.
NEWARK, October 16.--The Bethany Baptist church on Bank street has purchased the Fairmont Baptist church, five blocks above its present building. The Fairmont church belonged to a white congregation which had badly run down. The price paid by the Bethany people is $16,000, including all the furniture and a large pipe organ. The condition of the sale is $2,000 cash—while the heap paid is more to money than the mortgage and make such farther payment as is possible from the sale. The value of the old building and a small brick house adjoining is placed at $8,000, with a $2,000 mortgage on their property. The mortgage can be canceled, leaving a margin of $27,000. The congregation expects to enter the new, church the second Subbath for the first. The Fairmont church is a large, ally beautiful brick edifice with gallery all around, a pipe organ and a seating capacity of one thousand. It is the most suburban of Americans in this city. The sale of Bethany was brought about from the fact that the Northern Jersey Trolley Company has recently built a track through Bank street, the church that all sounds in the edifice while the cara are passing are in trouble.
SOUTHERNERS MISSED DIXON.
"The Clanaman" Disapproved in South Carolina.
COLUMBIA, S. C., October 15.—Last night ex-Rev. Thomas Dixon presented his play, "The Clansman," here before a large audience of white people. As has been the case at other performances of "The Clansman," the play was liberally hissed.
Dixon himself ventured to appear before the curtain after the third act, and his appearance was the signal for a great creature to be able to justify himself and his play by saying: "God ordained the Southern white man to teach the lessons of Aryan supremacy and —"
But the missing did not abate and Dixon lost his temper. "There are scalawags before and there are scalawags now," he said angrily; and then maddened to recklessness, offered to give $1,000 to any person who would point out an historical inaccuracy in his play. After the performance a party of young men called at Mr. Dixon's hotel and asked to see him. He declined their request. A note was then drawn up, in which the young men expressed their opinion of the play, and they sent it to the author's rooms.

This interview he afterward denied, and it was also stated Assistant Secretary Pompei State Secretary that Minister Powell had no intention of resigning and that there was no probable chance of his resignation.

PRICE, 4 CENTS
DIXON DAY AT CONCORD.
72-YEAR-OLD PASTOR ENDS AND YEAR AT BROOKLYN CHURCH.
Last Sunday's Services Devoted to Joyful Celebration of the Event—Dr. Dixon's Annual Sermon at Night Heard by an Overflowing House—Reports Show Fast Year to Have Been a Flowerishing One—Pastor Presented With $102 and Declares He Will Never Get Old.
Last Sabbath was Dixon day at the Concord Baptist church of Christ in Brooklyn, it being the forty-second anniversary of the pastorate of the Rev. William T. Dixon, D. D.
The services were actually begun on Friday night at the regular weekly prayer meeting, which was largely attended and at which the pastor requested that the church offer special prayers for him and that as many as could possibly attend the ten o'clock meeting Sunday morning should come and there pray for him.
The Sunday morning meeting was very well attended and much earnestness was manifested on account of the rare occasion of a minister's having preached to one, congregation for forty-two years. Promptly at 10.30 o'clock Dr. Dixon ascended the pulpit, the congregation arose and the choir led in singing "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow." After the usual hymns and prayers and notices for the day were read, Pastor Dixon preached on the text: "Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?"
The Sunday school assembled at 2.30 in the afternoon, with Superintendent Dodson presiding, and the lesson was taught for twenty-five minutes. Dr. Dixon appeared at a few minutes after three o'clock to hear the regular third-Sunday scripture recitations. The scholars were on their mettle and recited with vigor and intelligence. The Teachers Training class taught by Miss F. M. Perkins, carried off the honors of the day. When the pastor's through and about to leave, the superintendent had said, while the school arose and gave the Chaundaon a lute, singing "God He With You." The pastor was visibly affected, and responded with a brief prayer. The Christian Endeavor society had a lively meeting in the auditorium at 0 o'clock.
The crowning service of the day came at 7:30 o'clock, when the church was crowded beyond seating capacity to hear the pastor's annual sermon. Madam Mary A. Parsons presided at the organ with good grace, and the choir, led by Chorister Myera, discoursed some fine selections in keeping with the occasion. Dr. Dixon entered the auditorium from the lecture room by the northeast door, followed by the deacons and trustees who held the floor and trustees upon the upper and lower platform. The selected as his text: "Who, then is that faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord set over his household, to give them their food in due season?"
He said in part: "Jesus had upon his heart the salvation of man, and he constantly urged his disciples and the Jews to be on guard as to his coming. Every man has some vocation in life, all are servants, especially those who labor in the vineyard of the Lord. Who is a faithful servant? One who is wise in duty and faithful in the discharge of it. Duty of service is honorable. Be wise in your homes, wise in your societies—do your own personal work and do it faintly, wisely and honestly. During my stray of forty-two years with you, I have endeavored to be wise and wise under God in looking after the poor Zion. I have never ruled with a rod, or lured over God's heritage. I have never contended with you to have my own way—God forbid; I have given advice and left it with you to decide for yourselves. Now, I have been at pains to feed you all from the bonusthief word of God. May God forgive whatever I have done amiss, ever praying that He will give all of his children their meat in due season."
Pastor Dixon then thanked the church, congregation and friends for personal favors to him and his family, and proceeded to give the church statistics for the year as follows: Received by baptism, 5; letter 9, by experience 23, restored 31; membership 15, total membership 933; Sunday school officers and teachers 49, scholars 540, baptized 5, in high school 10, engaged in teaching 5, and money collected $460.01.
In memory of the departed Hymn 631 was sung while all stood.
The pastor's labors out of town were "24 hours, including Jacksonville, Fl. Sermons preached 83, addresses 9, extra meetings 30, visits to sick 420, married 83 - married, preached 83 funerals, prayed for 7 children, baptised 25 believers. All the departments of the church were commended for their good work. The total receipts, aside from four organizations whose figures were not obtained in time for the pastor's report, were $7,205,777. The pastor's gifts to Dr. Dixon at the close of this service $50 and the Pastor's Relief committee gave him $52, making a total gift on his 42d anniversary of $102. The Easter Bell club presented to the pastor a magnificent bouquet of autumn roses and chrysanthemums. Dr. Dixon is in the 73d year of his age and is laide and hearty. He says "he will never get old."

But he fell down in other respects, fell away down in this matter of all cleanliness, for example, which he to all first-class tonsillectomy of the throat, which is not second in importance even in the use of the razor or the shears. Let the barber, however skilled he may be in shaving and hair cutting, fall in this important particular of scrupulous cleanliness, and he puts himself at once outside of the pole where the first-class trade goes. He must content himself with second-class service and greatly diminished profits. But specked like an apple or a pear he cannot stay where he puts himself. The speck of poor service spreads and gats into the core of his shop, and so when he becomes too rotten to do second-class service he slinks into the third and lowest class, where all self-service is offered to profit the trade vanish at the same time. He lifes then a hand-to-mouth existence, lighting daily for the homes, for the crumbs, of the trade, for even at times its offal; for a few cents here from some dirty patron, for a dime here from the great unwashed and nondescript crowd from the slums of city life.
The descent to hell is easy, and so is the descent of the barber from the doing of first-class work to the doing of work of the second, and finally to the doing of work of the third class. Just let the simmer begin to slip down the greased incoffine to slip down the ill hand on the Devil's grid iron in a jiffy and he beheads it to a curry before he can say dark robbery. So with the colored barber after he has let go his hold on the third class work. He goes swiftly to the bottom, where the devil of poverty awaits, him with his three-pronged fork of starvation, samurai and the Potter's field. It is the slow road to heaven that is difficult. And for one of those colored barbers fallen from the first class try to get back is a hard as if he tried to die with his naked body a greased point. Oneway, succeed, but the trite will fail every time.
We think, then, that it is largely the fault of the colored barber in Boston and elsewhere at the North that he has lost ground once held by him in first-class trade. He has come into competition with French, German and Italian barbers, and he has been beaten at the game by them. He has been beaten by them in the matter of cleanliness, in up-to-date appointments, in up-to-date service. They give for the same price better services than the colored barber had to give. And the colored barber has to best格格地 they wanted to best. The barber would not accept an inferior service where they were able to obtain a superior one. The superior service will bent an inferior service every time in this battle for bread, for trade, which is going on among barbers as it is going on in other branches of human industry. The struggle is in favor of the strong not of the weak, and it is the strong who survive in such a struggle because the strong is the fittest, regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude. The colored barber in Boston or elsewhere if he means to get on top in such a tight, if he means to get on top in such a narrow, occupied by him in the treatment to add to it in the future, will have to offer at least as good work, as good service, as the white ones at less price, or he will have to give better work, better service, at the same price. And he has no longer any time to learn this lesson, he has got to begin at once to put it to practical use. He has got to get awake, get up and get a move on him. Will he? We longer so. We pray we.

KING'S DRAIGHTERS AND SONS MEET
171 Delegates at Bridgeport—Nick Woman Becomes Insane.
NEW HAVEN, October 16. The fourth annual convention of the Connecticut branch of the international order of King's Daughters and Sons met last Wednesday at 2 p.m. in the First Methodist church at Bridgeport. There were 171 delegates registered, representing circles from all parts of the State. The convention lasted two days, during which time the church was literally packed with people at each session.
The counties were assigned to various pews, the sections being marked off with silver stars on which the names were printed in purple. These colors were repeated in the decorations in the church and in the dining room.
The convention was presided over by the State secretary, Mrs. E. H. Smiley, of Harford, who is the chairman, there being but one president, Mrs. Margaret Benton of New York, who is at the head of the international order. The addresses of Mrs. Bottoms, the great executive leader and element speaker, were received with great enthusiasm. The report showed the order to be in a flourishing condition, and that there are 162 circles with a total membership of 3,800. There are 16 new circles this year. There are 16 new circles this year. There are five chapters. All of the counties are organized, and six hold conference meetings.
The amendment in regard to does was presented, and it was voted to augment them one half. This action will give the central council ten cents per capita and the State branch five cents. Approximately all the States have done this Connecticut being among the last to act. The following Delegates were sent from this city by the Rising Star circle of King's Daughters and Sons, and Juvenile Silver Cross circle of King's Daughters, Zon A. M. E. church, Foots street; Mrs. E. George Biddle, Mrs. Marcellus Simmons, Mrs. Carolina Simmons, Mrs. Mlopah, and by the Loyal Worker of Bethol A. M. E. church, Sperry street, Mrs. Emmia L.

Afro-American Who, for Intoxication,
Wid Seat to Chain Gang With
Vilent Folks, Appeals to Highest
Tribunal-Importance of the Cause-
The Lynched Turn Lynchers in
Georgia.
Special Correspondence of THE AOR. ATLANTA, Ga., October 16.—Georgian Afro-American have taken the initiative in the matter of deciding on the constitutionality of the punishment of offenders in the different police courts of the South. It will be remembered that one Jumison, an Afro-American citizen of Macon, Ga., was last year in March arrested in that city on a charge of disorderly conduct. While in the prison, being intoxicated, he was bolsterous, and another charge was lodged against him. The next day he was carried before the city recorder and was sentenced to pay a fine of twenty-five dollars in one case or serve ninety days in the chain gang; and in the other case he was to pay thirty-five dollars or work one hundred days, making a total of sixty dollars to be paid or seven months to be served in atonement for the offense of being drunk. He happened not to have the money, and on the morning of the following day he was promptly done up in stripes and irons and sent out with armed guards to look after him while he did hard work along with some of the most desperate criminals in the penitentiary. It was the penalty of taking a drink too much in Macon.
Fortunately for Jamison, he had friends who took up the matter with that prince of jurists, Judge Emory Speer, who decided that a writ of habeas corpus based on the ground that the prisoner was being illegally detained in violation of the rights guaranteed to him by the Constitution of the United States, was the proper legal step. The writ was granted and Jamison given his freedom, for the reason stated above and for the further reason that he was being subjected to infamous punishment without due process of law. The city of Macon, being dissatisfied with the opinion and judgment of Judge Speer, lays carried the case to the Supreme Court, where it is ripe for hearing at the October term. The Alto-Americans of the State have generously contributed to pay the expense of counsel for Jamison, and a favorable decision from the court of last rejection is continually being looked forward to, and confirmed criminals at hard labor for the public highway for no greater offence than being drunk, or not driving to the right, or for breaking any of the minor municipal ordinances is carrying the matter of punishment a little too far; and yet every day some of the courts do this very thing to white men and black like, only it somehow always happens that there are more black than white. One of the unfortunate victims, a white man, who had been sent up for some minor offense last year, wrote a sensational letter to the treatment of the inmates, telling of the treatment of one of these inmates. He declared that all the dogs he was forced to the hardest kind of work, and at night he was tortured so by vicious he could scarcely sleep. The means he said, consisted of fat pork, "now pork" and corn bread, which was handed to him three times a day.
The Jamison case is not only of interest to the Afro-Americans, but also to many white people, who believe the punishment meted out to potty offenders is very often out of all proportion to the offense committed. The fault is not chargeable to the judges who preside in these courts, because they are only executing the law as given them to follow by the lawmakers. The cause of the charge that no prosecution is made for the punishment for the punishment and the result is a bearing of felonious and slight offenders in the same camp in some towns, while in others the place of incarceration, the shackles and the general surroundings, amount to more than punishment for the character of the offense committed. The result to be attained and the end to be accomplished in the Jamison case is the establishment of places of punishment commensurate with the grade of offense, if the Supreme Court decides favorably on this contention. It must be admitted that in courts where scores of offenders are to be tried within the space of a few hours much of the legal requisites of a trial must be dispensed with if such action does not mitigate against the rights of the accused to a fair and impartial trial. For the material right of his should be allowed to be taken, should be allowed time to hear his witnesses in court. One of the contensions in the Jamison matter is that he was not given sufficient time in the police court to make his defense. All in all, it is an interesting case, the more so because, as was indicated, the points at issue concern the white man as much as the Afro-American.
Away down in the pine woods of south Georgia some hotheaded Afro-Americans have been indulging in a species of crime that heretofore has most generally committed by people of another race. These impulsive citizens have laughed a man. Of course, it was one of their own color, and they had no trouble in getting him when their purpose was disclosed. The crime the wretch was guilty of was sufficient to warrant his being given capital punishment, but not by Afro-Americans on the woods. The law ought to have been allowed to take its course in this instance just as it is in all others; and people who plead for a free and fair trial ought to be the last to deny it. I have to let the officers take their prisoner to jail. A trial ought have been given here, and there is no doubt that he would have been convicted and put to death legally. Two great lessons would have been impressed upon the minds of the thousands who would have gathered to witness his execution: One, that the rapist has no right to hope for life; and the other, that the law is adequate for his punishment.
Lynching is not to be tolerated under any circumstances for many reasons, one of the chiefest of which is that there is always a chance that the wrong man is killed. Lynching is a bond themselves to practising it are doubly guilty because too often men of their race are victims—many times, as has been acknowledged, when they were not guilty. Those Bainbridge Georgian Afro-Americans who were so ready, to shoot lead into a yellow being might yet meet in a room where no charges loss beinous than against him.
THOMAS H. MALONE
[We regret to say that the Supreme Court on October 16 reversed the finding of Judge Spor in the Jamison case. Jamison will now have to serve out his term in the chain gang. Our readers will be interested to know that Jamison's attorneys were Johnson & Malone of Atlanta, Ga., a firm of which our correspondent is a member. These lawyers served gratis, and the other expenses of the trial were subscribed by public-spirited Afro-Americans of Georgia.—Ed. THE NEW YORK AGE.]

‘From The Tuskegee Student (Oct, 14).
October 24 promises to be one of the
three most memorable days in the history
‘of Tuskegee Institute; and, when all
the circumstances which hedge abodt the
work of the institution are property con-
uidered, It may [well rank as the “most
significatit, If not the most memorable, of
the three days. On‘ that day President
‘Theodore Roosevelt, the first citisen: of
80,000,000 people, constituting the great-
est Republic of ancietit or moder times;
will be the guest of the mstitution. ‘The
significance of the fact will be more ap-
parent to the student body a decade
hence than now, for great events are
more easily comprehended the further
away we are rembved from them in place
and timer
‘The most memorable day in the history
of the institution murt alwayx be the
firat vinit General Bawuel Chapman Arm-
atroog paid it, becanse the institution’ Is
an ‘outgrowth of the high inspiration
which he breathed into him who Inid the
foundation, and hax been the master-
bullder of ‘the work. We. have. here. a
blessed heritage for ourselves and our
ponterity, And the father of a xreat
idea, which works a revolution In. the
hope and axpiration of mankind, “though
he be dead, yet shall he live.”
‘The second memorable day in the bik:
tory of the Institution wan December 16,
1808, whon President William McKinley
wan ita guest. ‘The disthaction which thin
visit. gave the school, “the significance
which attached to it at the time,
and the helpful influences whith
followed fast upon it and are atill
felt in the work of the inntitution: were
and are’ still manifest to all the ood
people of the Republic: for President
McKinley was a wine and aympathetic
ruler and. greatly beloved by hix fellow
citizens, who regarded the interest be
took in“ Tuskegre Inetitute and it
work x_n direct appeal to them to
tuke a like interest, to the end that
thone who conduct the work and: who
benettt most by it should’ “tyke heart of
hope” as a race xtruggling Out of dark:
nexa Into the light of higher aud bet-
ter things, and thus energized and en-
Auumed to be the bettor preparid to tnke
that part in the thonzht and effort of the
Republic which makes for the greatest
prosperity and happiness of the Ameri:
can people.
L ‘The good results of President MeKin-
ley'x visit to the institution, when the
time and circumstances surrounding it
are properly weighed, can best be cati-
mated. by those who have been the bene-
ficiaries of them and have carried the
spirit of them to the great mass of our
people in, the Statee of the South, ar
their lives have touched in school ‘and
chureh and industrial effort in the work
their trained hands and heads have found
to do, Not only. then, “those who were
at Tuskegee Institute at the time, but
the great maxx of Nearoce in the Slates
of the South more expecially, were lift:
ed up in their self-respect and stimnlatod
in the cxwntials of thelr manhood and
womanhood by President MeKinley"« ean
ing to us with the magnetic charm of his
xplendid personality and te far-rench-
ing intluener of tte words of chor and
eneouragement which he spoke, The
great Drosident, the srmpathetie man,
the constant fried, has passed erond
“the great ditide."* tut the high ideals,
the enewiragement, the hope he left here
ahide with ns and will abide with us
hore, a part of the atmosphere ihat we
breathe.
And so, in ike manner, the coming of
Veesident ‘Phombore Reasevelt will Ieave:
ite abiding impress npen one lives and.
upon the history of the ‘Tuskegee [sti
tite. For his isn masterfal, dominating |
personality, with the maznetism that’
draws men to him, and with the res

and citizenship which are the touch:

and which have given thie Renubtie oa
commanding place in the estimation of
universal mankind and in the councils
of the chief states of the world.
When the assembled hosts at ‘Tuskezes,

Roosovelt they will eo a typical Ameri:

GARRISONS ANNIVERSARY.
De. Washington's Wetton Seronded by =
Sandny School Superintendent.
fo the Editor of Tyg New Yous Aor:
T hare rogd with interest and pleasars
Dr. Rooker, Wavhington's reminder in
your paper of October 5 calling attention
to’ the approaching ane-Wundredth anni-
versa of the birth of William Lloyd
Garrison and suggesting that it be cele:
brated by the race with appropriate ex-
ereixes in our churches throughout the
cointry. ‘The suggestion ix timely and
full of food for thonzlit and sober refer
tion by a grateful people, the recipients
of the blessings attending the efforts of
those noble heroes and heroines who laid
their lives upon the sacrificial altar in
a time that tried men's souls sO that lib-
erty might come to an ensaved people,
This ix only. auather = evidence of Dr.
Washington's farsightedness and supreme
Headership.
1. go even further, and suggest to our
Suriday school supetintendents that. they
take up thie matter at once nnd prepare
A special program for Sunday, December
10, and call it "Garrison Day.” for. after
all, it ix the young minds mont of ail that
we should instruct concerning the. liver
and “characters of ‘those men. without
which a true histers of the race can
never be written, Such a day would in-
spire (and encourage, x” patriotic and
thankful spirit in the hearts of the youth
of to-day'and cause those who now read,
and thone who were eye-witneases of many
‘of the dreadful scenes in connection with
the abolition movement to take measure-
ment of themselves and what ther bare
made of the fruits of freedora and liberty :
and we. the sounger generation, should
take our soundings and sce if we are
measuring wp to our opportunities.
T shall proceed at once to make ar
rangements to celebrate the day in our
Sundns school at Concord Baptiet charch
and’ to make “Garrison Day" bue of the
anecinl features in the calendar of ear
Sunday school year. Mr. Editor, T nost
heartily “secoud Dr, Wanhington'’s mug
reation, N. Ranserr Dooeox.

There comes to exist a disposition in the South to make the North another main audience of President Roosevelt. This is not new, but the Charles News and Overseer, which roundly dismisses the performance of a Montgomery (Ala.) alderman in booking an appropriation of money to entertain the President, merely because he undertook the duty of his time to Booster Washington's school at Tuskegee to Montgomery. But the Dempress News does not wander at, and, in fact, does not let the letter of his act of the Montgomery alderman, and it screws notice that if the President wants to, in make a success of the president's trip he must let the letter be heard around that he goes South chiefly to the Tuskegee school. The News says that when the White House that the President wanted Mr. Washington and his school included in the reception at that point, he must let the letter be heard arranging anything in a social way with Booster Washington, and that the city didn't propose to join Washington's reception at that point, it has been decided that the President will give half an hour to the city, and perhaps the rest of the day to Booster Washington. News. That the President should be deeply interested in this great work of uplifting a downstream town, as regarded as another spot in section 6, not another spot in all Christendons where it will be no regarded.

widow of the late John Tallman,
died at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Lloyd Green, of Nyack, on Tuesday
evening, October 11. Mrs. Tallman's

church; Rev. A. M. Walker of St. Philips'
church; and Rev. L. G. Mason of St.

Blaken College's Opening.
MARSHALL, Tex., October 13. — Bishop College began its 25th year's work on October 4, under very favorable auspices, despite the yellow fever scarce, as we are within 20 miles of the Lombiana quarantine line. The conditions that prevail here are different from those of Northern schools, in that the major part of the students do not enter school before the middle of November and from then on to the first of January. While there was a shortage of teachers than it would have been, on account of quarantine restrictions and late crops, yet jidding from the past, we are expecting an enrollment as that of last year—557. All departments of the school, however, have been involved in President Chaffer and all of the old teachers returned to their work with renewed vigor and advanced ideas. The new president has been reigned, are Prof. II, Waldrom of Rover Williams University, Nashville, Teen.; Miss Athena of Vassar college, and Miss Beatrice of Idaho.
Last week there were twenty-six murders in Mississippi. Like governor, like people.

No Afro-American Home
Should Be Without
THE NEW YORK AGE
"Student Government" Instructs Young Americans as to Their Rights and Duties in the State-A Change Idea Likely to "Expand Throughout the Country and Especially Interested to the Race."
Regular, Correspondence of Typhus Acei,
Citicato, Ill.; October 18.—Among the
questions discussed at the recent meeting
of the Afro-American Council in
Detroit, Mich., there was one that should
receive a more careful and serious
attention than can be given it in the
limitations of a single, convention, and that
is, How can we arouse in our people a
keener sense of the importance of being
interested in the affairs of the Government
in which we live? In a recent statement,
made by a refining principal of one of
the Chicago high schools, it appears that
indifference to the rights and responsibilities
of citizenship is not peculiar to
colored people. This veteran teacher,
after twenty-five years of study and work
in the field of education, is of the opinion
that our sense of duty and responsibility
in the matter of citizenship is as much the concern of education as learning to read and write and multiply, and that every well-organized school ought to teach the lessons of citizenship either directly or indirectly.
In the Hyde Park high school of this city, what is known as the "school city" or "student government" has been carried on during the past ten years. In this system, says this principal, the body of the city council and other officers, the body of the pupils being citizens. Some five hundred schools throughout the United States have adopted this system after us. The scheme, which as yet perhaps is not more than past the supergrants, has been used in some form or other in the near future. The school city plan has two great advantages—it gives the pupils a practical knowledge of the workings of government and of the duties of citizenship, and it teaches them to control their own affairs rather than under compulsion.
An index of the future importance of this plan is the recent decision of the Federal Government to introduce it into the Philippine Islands, while all the schools of Cuba are based on the 'school city' plan. Where it was tried in our schools it developed a sense of individual responsibility among students and it introduced a spirit of respect for law that had not been noticed before. It also served to bring pupils and teachers closer together. I believe it will praise to be a great thing for the cause of education. I have quoted thus fully from Mr. French, because what he says in this question, in question 10, is an inflection that holds a knowledge of the rights and duties in government, should be particularly interesting to our education.
The colored people have not only lost their political grip in the Southern States, but, what is almost as bad, thousands of colored children are growing up and being trained in our schools with little regard for their citizenship interests. Children on the streets are being taught in them a sense of the rights and duties in the Government under which they live. If the "School city" plan, as discussed in this ex-colored educator of Chicago, becomes an important part of the education of the boys and girls in five hundred or more schools of this country, in Cuba and in the Philippines, its importance to our children in this country is great. Let some of our enterprising and prominent educators take hold of this new feature in education and see to what extent and with what result it can be applied in the colored schools.
With its education must become a thing more constructive and for reaching in its purposes and results. To teach a boy, while yet in school, how to become a good citizen in the school, it is it to teach him arithmetic, geography, physiology or anything else. If our boys do not learn the rudiments of civil government in the schools and form the habits of being interested in and doing things for and with the government, there is but slight chance of their success. When we are educated, when we educate and competent amongst us care nothing for their citizenship and will make no sacrifices of time, money or physical strength to realize these rights under the government, something can at least be done trying to see a condition of political impunity.
Dr. Townsend, who during the past year has had charge of the Institutional church, has given up his Chicago church and will be transferred to Pittsburgh, Pa. His success has not yet been achieved well in the church members are hoping that some man of broad sympathy and Christian spirit will be selected to carry on the numerous activities to which the conference is pledged.
Ms. S. Living Williams has been appointed President of Hale Park Republican club, and the most active political organizations in the city.
Extensive preparations are being made for the annual Baptist National convention to be held in this city on October 25. The vanguard of these deep water Christians has begun to arrive in the city, arranging the preliminaries of the convention.
Rey A. H. Leathold, who has been priest of St. Thomas Episcopal church of this city during the last ten years, has resigned from the Chicago church and goes to St. Paul Minn. The people of O'Derry City Mayor M. Murray has been appointed to the trust and respect regret exonerates his leave taking.
The Olive Baptist church of this city, after more than ten years of trials and tribulations, has begun to glimpse the Canaan of peace and prosperity. This colored church is one of the very few institutions of Chicago that has a cooperated and uninterrupted history, back for nearly a century. It has been destroyed by fire and sold out for debt, term membership, discharged by bad management and harassed by law suits of almost every conceivable kind, but through it all it has preserved its identity, and is now about to the end of its troubles. The final touches are now being put on its almost completed auditorium. Rev. E. J. Fisher, the present pastor, has worked wonders in bringing his church organization out of the great flood for a long time by a byword of contempt invented. It now has a fine piece of church property, a reunited membership, and a pastor who is gradually winning his way into the hearts and confidence of the Chicago people.

BONAPARTES POSITION.
Secretary-Immunarie's statement, bottled down to its last analysis, simply means that if there are only ten white electors in a State, and one hundred only qualified and intelligent men, no one can dominate, because they are white. Nothing more nor nothing less can you define from his premises. Fitness is only qualification necessary to be white.
LOUISVILLE, October 13.—The congregation of the Fifth street Baptist church gave a reception at Old Pelton's hall on Wednesday, October 11, in welcome to their pastor, the Rev. John H. Frank, who was sent to London last June as a delegate to the Baptist World Congress. The reception hall was crowded to its utmost capacity.
Addresses of welcome were delivered by Rev. W. A. Jones, W. H. Bullitt, W. D. Thomas William H. Steward, C. B. Preston, Mrs. M. E. Steward, Mrs. J. P. Givens, W. H. Craighead and Rev. H. S. Rives.
Dr. Frank gave an interesting account of his travels in England, Germany, Holland and France. He said that prejudice exist in the church and that prejudice among the American is the best place for the African-American's home, especially if it be an "Old Kentucky Home."
Mrs. Julia M. Simms was buried on October 11 from the 5th street Baptist church. Her funeral services were conducted by John H. Jones, assisted by John H. Frank.
William Lawson and Pleasant Taylor, colored, who were charged with assisting the police of the city in keeping colored men from voting in November, 1804, Walters Exams to the penitentiary at Atlantic, Ga., for one year and fined $80 each. Judge Exams in sentencing them said that he was not disposed to give them a heavy sentence as others should accommodate him. The United Brothers of Friendship and the Sisters of the Mysteries Ten will hold a rally on November 1 to raise $5,000 for their new $47,000, which they hope to build next year. Most of Louisville are much divided with the question to buy oz not to buy. They partly own $8,000 worth of property; and part of the Order is arranging to purchase another building for $16,000 which, if purchased, will be the cause of the Order losing its equity. The Order will buy the building for $16,000 K. W. B. Baker, D. W. Roberts, William R. Caleb and N. X. Newman.
LIKE A TRIP TO NEW ZEALAND?
If You Are a Baptist Preacher, Rev. J.
A Martell Will Pay You Way.
Newton, Conn., October 18th, Rev. J. A. Harret, pastor of a large Baptist church at Ankland, New Zealand, was in the city last week and preached at the Grice Memorial Baptist church in the morning and at Mr. Calvary Baptist in the evening, to large congregations. He is touring the United States to find twenty-colored Baptist ministers to attend a great convention to be held at his church in September. But in the interest of the colored people of the world, A. Calvary has been provided to pay the traveling expenses of these twenty men, if they will agree to go as representative Baptists of this country, and describe to the convention the real conditions of the Afro-American host. Mr. Calvary's church has been honored by having the pastor, Rev. J. Francis Robinson, school of one of the famous fathers of this trip to New Zealand next summer. Rev. Hastings delivered a tract because of Mr. Calvary's ministry evening when he was well attained.
Last Sunday was the occasion of a grand rally at Great Memorial Baptist church, and the services were all very interesting and well attended. Owing to the attendance, the church, Rev. Rex Robinson of St. Bishop's church, New London, was unable to be present at the Morning service as served and, exasperated by Rev. S. E. Robinson of the McKinley avenue Zion church presided over. Thursday, October 12 the local branch of the Metropolitan Mercantile & Realty company of New York, held a public meeting in True Reformers' hall, which proved of great interest to those present. The Connecticut field agent, Mr. C. Lloyd, staked interest of Law, Jr. M. Lloyd, in the church, been expected to deliver an address, but was detained by important business. A dispair from him declaring a dividend for the stockholders was sent, and read for the benefit of the congregation. Mr. M. F. Fendelbush the woman who was at the Mt. Rivers Baptist church all day Sunday and presided on a large audience at both services.

Democratic Candidate for Massachusetts Judgement a Lieutenant of 55th Volunteers, and Many Afro-Americans Will Vote for Him—12th Baptist Church May Move—St. Mark's Lyceum Debate "Japan."
Boston, October 10.—Judge H7 Sheldon, who has been named by Governor Douglas to succeed the late Judge Barker, is a native of Maine, and a graduate of Harvard College. His greatest distinction to us is the fact that he served in the famous 55th Massachusetts Volunteers, one of the first colored regiments that went to the front during the Civil War. Judge Sheldon entered as second lieutenant, was promoted to first lieutenant and was mistreated out with that rank in Boston with his regiment on September 26, 1815.

THE NEGRO IN LONDON.
From The Christian Recorder.
The cosmopolitan character of the representative Negro is beautifully and strikingly illustrated in the leading cities of the world, more so than in London. In law, medicine, literature, business and the stage profession the colored man of push and credit is found in liberal evidence, bailing from Africa, South America, the West Indies and Africa, the African reception tendered Dr. Johnson, editor of The Recorder, at the colonade on the Strand in London on September 15, the occasion was dignified by the following distinguished personage and candidate: House of Commons; Dr. Campbell, ex-deminator of anatomy, King's College, London; Dr. S.

CAMBRIDGE, October 17.—The Rounds Clark fares, no called by an indignant citizen, will not down and, as Lawyer R. R. Wilson expressed it, a most serious political blunder has been made, one that may have a bearing on the city election, for the colored voters would show the basest ingratitude to Senator Rounds if they failed to support him if he decides to run. We would suggest him for Mayor, for the present incumbent, while being a most estimable gentleman, is just that and nothing more. An time goes on the Afro-American must be placated, and the parlor caucuses in which the white and colored office holders meet and vote to perpetuate themselves in office must be stopped.

One of the most notable open discussions ever held by the Men's Forum was that of last Sabatha when the question of reducing the South's representation was discussed. Owing to a standing rule of the organization no vote was taken but only two of the speakers favored protection. The president in opening the subject impartial, and expressed no view of his own on the subject, but left it to the speakers. The utmost good nature prevailed, and of them showed a grasp of the subject indicating that some thinking was being done. Powelly was shown a knowledge of South's white character by men who had lived in the Southland during the Reconstruction period. Mr. W. P. Davis, who was a deputy sheriff in South Carolina, resisted in a most dramatic manner some of the scenes in which he had been an actor; and outlined the terrible consequences to the Miro-American if he should by Congressional action he formally disfrain. The variable John J. Smith, about the last of the old anti-slavery guard, spoke most formally for unity. He was most decidedly, in favor of reduction. B. R. Wilson, in favor of reduction, B. R. Wilson, in favor of reduction, will come, because the imperial North and West cannot and will not let the defunct South, with its false representation, stand in the way. Much of the force of Mr. Wilson's remarks was destroyed by his saying that while in favor of reduction on broad grounds and as an American he was not prepared to for it now. Mr. Moses Newsome spoke逼着 Mr. Wilson for his stand and made a vote of thanks to the Hon. J. L. Smith, coming out at his age of 64 to labor with the people as of vote. Mr. Peabody of Harvard, will be the speaker next Sabatha. Miss Ella Reephard at the piano.

Curry-Should Have Been Bounced.
From The Independent
At Mother Zion Church Dr. McMullen occupied the pulpit at the morning service last Sunday, and at night he preached the annual sermon to the Grand United Order of St. Luke's, No. 1. Both services were largely attended. The society turned out nearly 200 strong with a creditable showing of the auxiliary of juveniles.
Headed by Dr. McMullen, almost the entire membership journeyed across the river to the city of churches to witness formal opening and dedication of the First African Methodist Episcopal Zion church, of which Dr. P. M. Jacobs is the hustling and energetic pastor. Mr. John J. T. Jackson, with the board of trustees and Mrs. Alexisina Thomas leading, the board of stewardess grouped themselves about the chance when their pastor, in a short, but earnest speech, presented on behalf of the old Mother to her daughter the sum of £5. Dr. Jacobs responded in suitable words, thanking the old mother for the most opportunity time. A feature of the evening service was the appearance of Mrs. Gordon with several children from the Howard Orphan Asylum. A tidy sum was lifted in behalf of the orphaned tots.

THE DAMNING OF DIXON.
Southern White Press Given "The
Clanman" Some Pretty Hard Knocks.
From The Palmhill (N. Ct. Morning Post
From the Introduce U.S. Mortgages
On the whole, we regard "The Classman"
as an overdrawn picture of conditions that
existed nearly forty years ago. In the light
of present-day conditions it does injustice
to the better class of Negroes in the South,
in that Silas Lynch is represented as possessing the highest order of ability and the best educated men among the Negroes. The most thrilling and soul-stirring scenes in the play are the most inflammatory and trivial. Just here we think the mixture of bad outweighs the good. The most striking lessons are ghastly and unnecessary.
With this bit of running comment and embellishment of "The Clansman" we pass it on hoping that the distance at which we are removed from the deplurate scene in which it is held, and the other sense of those who witness the play, will prevent binding show the孽孽ness of race matched. When we have spent two of three hours in the Clansman's back in 1917, and paired a few thousand dollars into the yawning coffers of "The Clansman's sorter, let us turn on to the living procter and take up the work between the industrial and moral building of our country, the education of the masses, and the fostering of still friendlier attitudes between the descendants of former master and former slave.
From The Wilmington (N.C.) Messenger
We think it was an evil will when Mr. Dixon conceived the idea of putting this play on the boards of southern theatres. We hope we are wrong in our views as to what the results of this exhibition will be.
A friend in this city for whose opinion and judgment we have the highest regard writes The Message the following letter regarding the play "The Clansman" which will be performed here Tuesday afternoon and night:
"There appeared in yesterday's Dispatch, quite a fine comment on Mr. Davenport's play, The Clansman. It is strong, says the city, in its business. It is Elizabethan, and Governing Glam is queried by asking why the play should be performed by youth should begin 1 complete intervene. To me the play seems well suited to the city on the Negro is said. He is not yet able to give the theatre proper acting only, but he is making an effort to his diseased audience, until the white man is effected to rid his biding with his jacket toward the Negro of the present generation in a most serious manner. On the pure Southern girl's effect is bad, hating before her eyes certain pictures on which she should not get knowing this beforehand, doubtless few of our friends will attend the play, and this is fortunate.
His historical value seems to me to be more interesting. There is, I dare say, not a northen ten boy who does not know not just unjustly but wrongly the period. The majority of thinking men in the North has before this erased out 'Men Culpa' for the greatest crime in American history (Regarding Mr. Dixon from this period, he was the only visible position of Lambis Steuken, of whom the humourist said that they were always emphasizing truths that no one doubted. The play is strong? So is a tan yard. It teaches a lesson? Perhaps! But one at the end of which the teacher and not the pupil should be whipped. It is like the Elizabethan masterpiece? Well, the best answer to this quite original definition will be that the teacher man shall say to another: Who is Dixon?"
From The Greenstone (N. C.) Industrial News.
Whether or not the play can be said to be a success depends entirely upon what is meant by success. If success is counted in coin of the land or planets of the multitude, "The Clansman" is pre-eminently successful otherwise, we think not.
That any Southern man or woman will be made any happier, any braver, any better or any more loving of the South of the present, or loyal to the South of the past we cannot believe. The ignorance and prejudice with which the North undertook the task of reconstruction and the unspeakable outrages committed in many places by the Ku Klux Klan after it had slipped from the control of its original organizers are alike chapters in a retractable history of the past, which had best be forgotten by all.
This Tom Tom insists on not allowing us to do, and for this season we say that whether the picture be true or false "The Clanman" is a regrettable production which can be of no possible benefit to anyone but its author.

ROBERTOWN, N. J., October 16.—The wedding of Miss Margaret B. Gregory, the only daughter of Principal and Mrs James M. Gregory of the Bordentown Industrial school, and Mr. Mason A. Hawkins of Baltimore, took place in the school chapel Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Samuel Jobe of Christ Episcopal church, Bordentown, assisted by Rev. James P. Gregory, brother of the bride. The old "Ironies" estate in the delightful autumnal weather of Saturday never presented a more beautiful appearance. The chapel was tastefully and elaborately decorated; the coupon being the dominant flower, with palms and the brilliant foliage of the season freely used.

mine—Personal and Church News.
New Bancoun, October 16.—We are very fortunate in having a spell of fine weather, although at this writing it looks as if we were to have a change. Many of our citizens are interested in the sale of land by the Wilbur Land company, and the question is often asked. Is it better to pay rent or to own a house and lot? Land is selling cheaply and on very reasonable terms. It is cheaper by all means for a man with a family to own his own home, for if there were no profits there would be no landlords. But there is a profit, so why not own a house and have the benefit of these earnings? Then there is a contentment of mind, no feeling of unrest, no anxiety, but a continual happy frame of mind. The rent payer claims he is free from all responsibility and can move when he sees fit. Yes, and often when he does not see fit, and he usually pay quite quietly for his freedom. The home is great satisfaction to the children. They share in the feeling of safety and it is a legacy in case the father is called away first.
Mr. L. E. Henson passed through this city recently en route to Washington on a visit among his friends.
Mr. Andrew R. Douglas last Monday purchased a ticket and engaged a state room on one of the Sound steamers with the intention of taking a trip to New York. Just as he was about to leave his house, word was sent to him that the man he had engaged to fill in position in his absence had met him in very serious accident by falling from his wheel. Mr. Douglas was compelled to return until he could find another substitute.

BISHOP DAVID H. GREER.
At the Diocesan convention of the Protestant Episcopal church held here on Sept. 28, Rev. Dr. David H. Grever, bishop conjudator of the diocese of New York, declared that the race problem's solution must be assisted by the Christian Church, as well as by secular and industrial education. He said, taking his own church to task:
"What about the ten million Negroes in this country, constituting more than one-tenth of the population? What about the problem which they represent? That great and formidable problem, than which there in, I think, no greater and no harder, in all our National life: our 'problem de profundis' as an English writer calls it. Can we hope to solve it fully and adequately by secular education or by industrial education? These indeed are important, imperative, and essential. But must there not go along with these such educational help as the Christian Church can give, such educational help as will
CAUSE OF DISFRANCHISEMENT.
Failure to Divide Vote Between Two Great Political Parties
To the Editor of The New York Age:
I have noticed that at the recent meeting of the Afro-American Council at Detroit some speakers took the ground that the reason why the Negro of the South is deprived of the right to vote is that he was derelict in his political duties.
Now, in the one sense, there may be some element of truth in what they say, but in another they have erred. For it is well known that the colored man witted as a unit for one specific political party and those who have deprived him of the ballot declare that they did it for that specific reason. In addition to that, the colored vote is the only one in this country that is true cast; and it is also the only one in this country that is deprived. Then, is the efficient cause of his being deprived of the ballot. He was "disfamnished" while he was in the very act of casting his ballot. If he had voted for parties indiscriminately, as all other races did, his right to vote would have been just as intact as theirs. It makes no difference what would have befallen him in that event; it could not have made his condition worse than it is.
The Republican party is predominant in the North, and the colored man of the North votes for that party; hence he is deprived of the ballot. But, on the other hand, the Democratic party dominant in the South, and the colored man votes against it; hence he is deprived of the ballot. Herein lies the cause for what is done, or not done in
KINK·NE
Great Hair Straightener and Grower Most Wonderful Discovery ever made for kinky, curly and knotty hair. Makes hair grow long, straight, soft and silky; cures dandruff and stops falling hair. Kink-ine acts like magic on the hair.
KinKine Is No Experiment. It was discovered by R. Roberts, a famous English chemist, who studied a study of the scalp of colored people for the past 30 years, and who, after much time and experience, has prepared tonic for the colored people.
This chemist says that his experience and study have taught him that the scalp of the colored people need treatment and after laboring and testing these many years he has discovered the greatest REMEDY the WORLD known for the HAIR of colored people.
KINK-INE will make the hair GROW from one to three inches per month, if the directions and instructions fully followed out. We have many cases on record where the above results have been obtained, and we do not make these claims.
KINK-INE is the only safe preparation in the world that is guaranteed to make the hair straight and make hair smooth and stop it from breaking off and falling out; takes out all the kinks and knots, curves dandruff, soft and silky, and by nourishing the roots gives it new life and vigor, restoring it to natural color.
Read what Miss Elizabeth Jones of Chicago says of KINK-INE: "My hair was not more than three inches when I commenced to use Kink-ine, six months ago. I have used it steadily since that date and it has grown to age of twelve inches each month and it is now more than fifteen inches long. Besides, my hair has become almost fully believable in the year of the year. The most beautiful head of hair of any colored lady in the world." Admit Wanted: We want live

tend to change the character, to regulate the emotions, to purify the passions, to develop or create or gradually instil those fixed moral principles which would tend to make these Afro-American people. dwelling in our midst a moral force and factor in our National life and growth, and help them thus to reach that destiny, still undetermined, but great and high. I believe, which awaits them in the future?
"What are we, as a part of the universal Christian Church, doing to solve this problem? We need, no new machinery, no new religious machinery than what we already possess. It is adequate and ample; and while we are discussing various ways and means of how to solve this problem and how to go about it and what to do it with, the answer, it seems to me, is coming to-day to us, as it came to the leader of Israel long ago: 'What is that in thine hand? A rod? It is enough. Go, take it and use it for the deliverance of my people.'"
respect to this matter, in either section of the country.
As to colored men making no efforts to vote, I have known them to walk thirty-six miles to exercise that right. Therefore, as I have said, the abandonment of the right to vote was not the cause of his being deprived of that right, but it was rather the manner in which he voted, thus making the right to vote contingent upon the success one specifying political party.
