Pleads With Mob in Be half of Victim, but Without Avail. After Swinging Him Up' by the Arms—Threaten to Prosecute Lynchers. Gunnwood, 8. C., August 16—Despite the presence of Gov. Howard, who pleaded with them to let the law take its course, a crowd of more than a thousand men shot to death at 5 o'clock this afternoon Bob Davis, an Afro-American, Davis was caught at 8 o'clock ten miles from the scene of his crime. He was harried to the Brooks home and identified by Mimi Jennie Breckn, whom it was alleged, he had assaulted and attempted to kill. Meanwhile Gov. Howard, not knowing that the man had been captured, was hurrying to the spot. He pledged his word as Governor that Davis would be tried in two weeks, as the South Carolina laws require that time for drawing a jury, and the verdict would stand, but although still acquitted, Davis could be moved, with Davis before he had finished. The crowd carried Davis down the road and literally shot him to pieces. He was awake up by his arms before being shot. The crowd admired the Governor for coming and told him so, but were determined to see Davis die. The father of the girl pleaded to have him buried, but this was prevented. COLUMBIA, S. C., August 17.—All is quiet at Greenwood and the vicinity of last evening's lynching. The body of the lynched Afro-American, Bob Davis, remained tied up in the tree all night, where mob left it last night riddled with bullets. "Gov. Heyward returned from the accuse of the lynching this afternoon. He was tired from his strenuous trip. He said he had data all in his power to uphold the majesty of the law." Before leaving Greenwood the Governor called Solicitor Cooper into conference and instructed him to take immediate steps to prosecute the members of this, however, is only a matter of form, as the sentiment of the county endorses the lynching. First Afro-American Organizer New in the Field. The unions in the building trades were notified Thursday that the first Afro-American organizer has been placed in the field by the Hod Carriers and Building Laborers International and Building Laborers. Those starting from St. Louis will go from place to place where Afro-Americans are employed in large numbers. There are now about half a dozen Afro-American delegates representing different trades in the Central Federalederation to be admitted to the C. F. D. was the delegate of the asphalt workers, who are mostly Afro-Americans. GANS LIKELY TO BE 2-TO-1 FAVORITE OVER BATTLING NELSON Black Whidwind Looks Good to the Nevada Sports. GOLDWIND, Nev., August 20—Now that all forfeits are posted, the referees selected and the date fixed, sports are getting down to betting, and it looks as though Gans might run up to a 2-10-litre in the betting before the fight comes off. He looks neater, faster and cleverer than Battling Nelson in his gymnasium, and that counts much with the miners hereon. One humorous feature about the agile both men have to weigh in at three different times before the fight takes place. They are to tip the beam at 133 pounds at 12 o'clock, 1:30 and 3 o'clock. Before the date of the go they may have them weigh every ten minutes. No one can ever tell just what the cautions Mr. Nolan might make for the other, however, and there will be no Herrera fiasco if Nolan can help it. Gans is training hard and looks fine. He said that he only tipped at 137 pounds. When asked he stepped on the scales and it bounced at exactly that figure. He looks fine and has only four pounds to take off in two weeks. He looks like the winner to all the natives here. The Dane, though, says he will win the fight if they have to fight all night to do it. Buy Cemetery for Afro-Americans PHILADELPHIA, August 21—Eight Afro-Americans of Germantown and the vicinity have purchased a plot of ground just east of Willow Grote, which they will convert into a cemetery for the burial of Afro-Americans. The men interested are John Bird, Rev. John Edditt, Rev. Morton Winston of the Mt. Zion Baptist church, Stuart McCard, Ernest Minor, James Smith, Henry Morton and William Ritchie. As there are great grounds nearer than the cemetery, it is the intention to make this one answer for those of the northeastern. Philadelphia 11a REAL ESTATE BUDGET AND INVESTOR CO. IN TROUBLE Mr. Porter Had Me Connection Whatever With The Consum. The Real Estate Deposit and Investor Company of New York, of which Rev. R. B. Moist is president, has get into trouble because of exercising the functions of a bank without authority in its charter. The District Attorney of New York has the matter in hand.

Mr. Fortune has never had any official connection with the company.

VAN COTT OPENS NEABAQUARTERS . AT J9 WEST 28TH STREET Near Section Where Most of His Afro-American Voters Live. Mr. Richard Van Cott, who will be the next Republican leader of the 20th Assembly district, has opened up-town headquarters at 30 West 20th street so that he may come into close relations with the Afro-American voters who live mostly in the 19th and 20th election district.

On Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights he will be on the job at his down-town club in West 8th street, opposite the Brewerov Hotel. HAIN BANNER TORN DOWN BY AFRO-AMERICAN HATERS Parrall's Democratic Friends Earned at Act of Friendship Alderman John J. Hahn, candidate for leader in the 13th Assembly district, as has been remarked in these columns before, signaled his entrance into politics by resigning his nomination for the County Committee to an Afro-American. In getting out a poster bearing Mr. Hahn's picture, his early sacrifice for an Afro-American was mentioned among other excellent points of his career. Certain Democrats, seeing one of these posters in Sixth street, read about Mr. Hahn's quipulating nomination to Afro-American and went on to arrange at his having befriended a black man that they tone down the poster. It must be remembered that Mr. Farrell, Mr. Hahn's opponent, is being actively supported by the Democrats in his and adjoining districts. Farrell has been able dupe for the Americans into information him misled by which he has suddenly and for the first time in his life found it expedient to profess in their behalf. But those knowing his antecedents believe that in his heart he cares no more for Afro-Americans than do his Democratic friends who tore down the poster. Mr. Hahn's poster, the best interest of the race are bound up in Mr. Hahn's success, and him they will in a large majority support.

HOW JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION FUNDS WILL BE EXPENDED $80,000 for building by Afro-American Architects. WASHINGTON. August 15.—A meeting of the Jamestown Ter-Centennial Commission was held to-day in the office of Secretary Shaw, the chairman of the commission. Besides Secretary Shaw, Secretary Manaparte and Assistant Secretary Manaparte, the commission and chairman, of the government board, were present. "A delegation representing the Negro Development and Exposition Company, consisting of Giles B. Jackson, director general; R. T. Hill, treasurer, and Ruby Page, secretary, submitted their desire in regard to the exhibit to be held in the New York Exposition. Of the $100,000 appropriated for the exhibit $30,000 was said aside for a building to be designed by representatives of the Afro-American race. The remaining $70,000 was allotted for the promotion and collection of exhibits, concert, and musical features, reproducing and other some, and for such other features as the Negro Development and Exposition Company recommended. NEW YORK, THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 1906. BROWNSVILLE, Tex., August 21.—When several companies of the crack Twenty-fifth infantry, an Afro-American regiment, were stationed here last week local Crackerdom was greatly increased. The sturdy and proud independence and unflinching bearing of these troops immediately swelled the Crackerdom breast with rage and hasted. According to Major Blackson, who was detailed by the War Department to make an investigation of the trouble which soon ensued, the disturbance started with the whites. They did not want the Afro-American troops here and showed they thought them inferior by slights, insults and the denial of privileges. The infantrymen, who have fought men's battles on many fields, would not stand for such treatment from cheap civilians and repaid it, to the dismay of the whites. There were several individual encounters between the soldiers and citizens. About midnight of the 13th, as about fifteen soldiers were going through the town, the troops depicted by white citizens. The soldiers defended themselves to such good effect that they killed one white man and dangerously wounded another. Not a soldier was hurt. Heretofore, whenever Afro-Americans have dared to defend themselves in any numbers, throngs of white men have poured into the scene of disturbance from points far and near, and quickly overrode them. But when the news of the riot here spread over the State the white men took a second think and decided to keep their skins out of the fatal range of those resolute black soldiers. There was no mouning of whites into Brownville to avenge the death of one of the "divine Anglo-Saxon." Instead, the whites began to attack the soldiers, the soldiers, whose courage might easily become contagious. "Take them away," was the cry sent up to Washington by Senator Bailey, Senator Culberston, Representative Garner and a large number of other leading Texans. The Government, of course, always complaint to the white men with the desire of the Afro-American soldiers from Brownville, and white Texas has sent up a sigh of relief. WHY DISSENSION RULES IN THE MONITOR LEAGUE Members Object to Being Catapults for Certain Officers. A prominent member of the Monitor League in talking with a friend this week explained the real reason why the League, which endorsed Farrell's candidacy, is splitting asunder and being torn with dissension. "It is this way," said he. "All of us know that is absolutely no principle in which Afro-Americans could support a fellow like Farrell. He stands for whatever from a race point of view. He has never liked colored men and has never done anything for them. The sudden interest which he now pretends to feel in us is, of course, a mere artifact by which he hopes to dupe as many Afro-Americans as are simple enough to believe him. His real sentiments make him repugnant to all race-loving men. "He does Mr. Farrell, so far as the rank and file of the League members are permitted to know, make any other kind of appeal for their support. If he is spending his money they do not know it, because none of it has been allowed to find its way into the League treasury. If it starts in that direction it certainly stops before it gets there. Some officers of the League, who have been the only ones benefited by the endorsement of Farrell, have quit their regular jobs and are working for him on big salaries. The reason why there is so much talk in the League about its officers is that self-respecting men cannot submit to be used as censure to pull chestnuts out of the fire for somebody else. "Do you remember with what fatal effect Jerome last year inquired of Chief Murphy: 'Where did you get it?' Well, if he did it, he indignantly making one another relative to certain of their officers: 'What are they doing with It?' GERMAN TROOPS BAYONETTED FIVE SOUTH AFRICAN WOMEN Atrocious Butchery Reported via London. LONDON, August 9—Die Riechischer Zeitung publishes a letter from a German soldier who is serving in South Africa, in which he says: "When sequestering one evening our party, counting them men and an officer, came to a water pool, about which we saw some black figures hovering. We captured them and they proved to be five native women. "It was not considered advisable to shoot them, as there were known to be 200 blacks in the neighborhood. At last a soldier suggested that they be bayoneted to that, effect, and five of us stood in front of the women and five behind them and stabbed them to death." Daly and Stroble Office Group—Kalamazoo Kentucky Office Group Circumstances seem to be falling all over themselves to amuse the candidacy of Commissioner John P. Windolph for leader of the 6th Assembly district. At the overwishing meeting Monday night of the campaign committee warm enthusiasm was aroused by the arrival of two strong captains from the opposite camp who came to add their forces to Mr. Windolph. These two accession were Messrs. Andrew Daly and Louis Strabe. Their coming greatly weakens Mr. Windolph's opponent. A most stirring welcome was given Mr. Seth Wilkes, the former president of the district club, who said in a smart tone that he has returned the first opportunity after his return get out and help Mr. Windolph. Mr. Wilkes is Deputy Tax Collector of the State and an ex-Assemblyman. Mr. Andrew McLaren, president of the district club, offered a resolution, which was unanimely passed, recommending the nomination for the Supreme Attorney Charles Gilbert, attorney of Julius Mayer; former partner of Julius Mayer; Judge Edward Klinch and Attorney Charles Whitman; and for city magistrate, in the court of General Sessions, Otto A. Rosalny. Among the Afro-Americans present were George M. Kelth, Julius W. Watson, Earl Lightburn, L. L. Stokes, L. K. Wheeler, W. Winters, John Lee, Charles Turner, Prof. Green, James Turner, William T. Hooper, S. D. Stewart, George Washington and Messrs. Hodge and Smalls. "LILY WHITE" CONVENTION AT EDITOR MURRAY'S HOME Two busy Minding Alabama's Affairs to Attend to His Own. ALEXANDRIA, Va., August 16.—Another instance exposing the reluctance of most long-distance fighters to put up a scrap at close quarters was seen here last week at the meeting of the Republcal Commission on the Convention was a "jubilantly" "Lily White" affair; and the editors of The Home News, who find so much fun in fighting Alabama battles, found it expedient to fight their battle right here in their Congressional district. Nearly 60 delegates answered to the roll call of the convention with a tempt to conceal their satisfaction at the conspicuous absence of the Afro-American brother. The editors of The Home News were nowhere in evidence. BEFORE HANGING, ACCUSED JUDGE OF DISCRIMINATION Said He Went Fishing to Avoid Granting Habescorpus. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., August 20, Earle Fletcher, an Afro-American, who was hanged here to-day for the murder of Bob Paine, a fellow convict at Flat Top mines, created a scene by denouncing Judge S. L. Weaver from the scaffold just before the drop fell. Fletcher declared that the judge had granted a habescorpus to John Williams, a white man, and served him to blame that he had been a slave to Fletcher's (Fletcher's) court, wont fishing. Fletcher said that "going fishing" was given as an excuse for the judge to leave town to avoid granting a habescorpus. MOB AFTER ITALIAN WHO SHOT AFRO-AMERICAN POLCEMAN Murderer Taken With Difficulty Through White Crowd. ASURBY PARK, N. J., August 17—Officer William R. Hodges, one of the Afro-American guardians of the peace of Springwood avenue, recently annexed to Ashbury Park, was shot and killed opposing a friday morning by Frank Marchesono. The murderer hurried away in the darkness and was about to board a train at West End when he was captured by City Detective Walsh. The Italian was brought back to Ashbury Park, where a mob was assembled at the entrance to Justice Borden's court room. Guarded by Assistant Prostitute Stokes and officers detailed from headquarters the Italian was pushed through the crowd and with some he had in the hoodpip, from which he was subsequently taken to court and held for the Grand Jury. The murderer was taken to the depot, where a Freehold train was held for five minutes to take him. Two hundred people on the platform hosted and shook their fists at the car window when he was placed safely inside. The murder grew out of a dispute with Hodges, who was out of the court of the Italian to force his way into Lyric Hall, where a dance was going on, without payment of a fee. In court Marchesono admitted he fired the shots and said Hodges had insulted him. 178 VOTE OUT OF 20,000 AFRO-AMERICANS IN BIBB CO. How Men Suffer a Poll Tax to Disfranchise Them. MACON, Ga., August 21.-Bibb county now presents one of the most striking examples of the remount of the Afro-American from politics in a registration which consists exclusively of property holders. There are but 178 Afro-Americans upon the registration books of the county and those have been forced to register because of the fact that they are required to pay property taxes and consequently cannot escape the poll tax. There are more than 20,000 Afro-Americans in Bibb county and out of this number, if held, they had been paid, there would have been something like three or four thousand Afro-Americans capable of voting, or registering. It is estimated that it would take not less than $50,000 to $75,000 to register all the delinquents for a single election in this county.

Dunber, which was astonishing for the vast amount of information it contained and the breadth and scope of territory covered during the year. Miss Dunbar's native ability and knowledge of the work make her an ideal messenger to carry the work of the Federation into new fields. The team who had been organised and brought into the Federation during the year-with an aggregate membership of 338 women, Mrs. H. O. Smith reported, for the program committee, and Mrs. J. O. Henson made a partial report on finance. These reports were followed by those of clubs in Maine, New Jersey and Connecticut. At J. H.

McDonald, pastor of the Oney street Baptist church. After Dr. McDonald was through speaking and, the applause and died away, Miss M. E. Jackson rendered a deep report for the clubs of Rhode Island. The climax, however, came when his excellency, Governor George H. Utter, arose to welcome the Federation in behalf of the State. He was cheered to the echo. Governor Utter extended to the ladies the freedom of the city and State and expressed his high approval of the work in which they are so earnestly engaged. "Instruct the woman," he said, "that she may instruct the family, and then society. She must have patience, and if I may use the term, she must have faith." He said that no great work was accomplished except in the individual, and that when you raise the character of the work, you only defend the work that is at hand, but also the character of others." "The level of Our Woman-bodied" was the subject of an interesting and well-prepared paper by Miss Ethel Davis of Boston, Mass. The response to these addresses was delivered by the gifted Mrs Olivia Ward Bush. There was a vocal response from many in the State. The conference on philanthropic and educational work was led by Mrs Francis Waltres. Springfield. The event of the evening on the women's side was the annual address by the president, Mrs. Alice W. Wiley, who after referring to the Boston convention of a year ago and to her predecessor in office, R. W. Wiley, addressed with her annual address, which ranks among the best and most thoughtful addresses ever delivered before the Federation. She said in part: "The great fulcrum upon which our work must rise or fall is the home. Every club member represents a home, and every club represents many homes. We must be here. Light and life are what we must radiate from this center. The question of morals, thrift and industry must be taught in the home first, before any tangible result can be hoped for in other places. There never was a time when this kind of work was more needed than now; not because we are not rapidly coming up to the highest and best standards of living but because of the superior advantages we have to improve our condition. "We are to strive to make ourselves proficient in those branches of industry which will yield in return for our labor sufficient means to guarantee independence of thought and action in our winning daily bread. "Our girls and young women should be taught their cook, cook, sweep, wash and iron, as well as how to do a problem in mathematics or describe the circulation of the blood. They should learn the trades as well as the professions; they are to create their own business by self-activity. These are some of the things taught in our Federation club. Self-help, perseverance and self reliance—these are the tests by which we are to overcome opposition, armour difficulties and pave the way for brighter hopes and higher aspirations for our youth. "We must cry aloud from every hillside and mountain top against superstition, prejudice and oppression. We can no longer hold our peace while by treachery and unconstitutional enactment our own manhood being robbed of their manhood rights. Some one might ask. What have we to do with that? I answer. A great deal. We can agitate, raise money and educate—the time will come when a monster, also wipe this wickedness out of existence. "The past history of our Federation gives assurances that her future must be bright. I believe there is need of more care being exercised with those who constitute our club membership. There is, in fact, a great need and much good talent thrown away. Our work should be so planned and systematized that every member will be given some particular duty to perform. In the hardness of the struggle the devotion and self-sacrifice of those faithful few are overburdened; while others sit by and loom on." Among the president's recommendations was that the Northfield home should be made in reality a place or rest; mothers' meetings should not be neglected, and the juvenile work also is important: lynching should be suppressed; and the trustees' thropy has proved its usefulness; arms, crafts and illustrated lectures should not be overlooked. The president paid a high tribute to the women's club of this city and section, and closed with a beautiful and intimate reception. Miss Roberta J. Dunbar, organiser, reported in brief as follows: "There are eight clubs from Massachusetts, four from New York, one from Rhode Island, one from Maryland, and one from Pennsylvania. "The club idea has grown steadily during the past year. Massachusetts beads the list with eight clubs, and we see that it was not in vain the convention most last year in the grand old Bay State. "The cities represented are Haverhill Boston, Cambridge and New Bedford. Next in line comes the State of New York with four clubs, the cities represented being Brooklyn, Geneva, Yonkers and Auburn. "We have had the pleasure of greeting a club from Maryland, and one from Pennsylvania. "We have the promise of clubs from Delaware and quite a number from the State of Pennsylvania. "This makes 15 clubs, numbering 358 women." Friday morning immediately after the convention was called to order the roster was cleared and the convention proceeded to the annual election of officers, no person being admitted except regularly accredited delegates. The election was made with despatch, and was the smooth held by the president, but not the candidate, put in against Mrs. Wiley, her reelection was made unanimous.

The Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs is composed of sixty-six clubs with a total membership of 1,000 members.

Special Correspondence of The Am HARVEST FIRST, August 18, 1948 The Niagara movement has been holding their meetings here since August. There are about four delegates from New York, the usual four from Boston, one from Chicago and a few other scattering ones, but the bulk are from Washington. Of course reports will be sent out to the effect that a large number of States are in Washington to understand the significance of these "patent" Washington delegates. Of course, it is very easy to get up at any hour or any day a number of clerks who will represent almost every State in the Union at short notice. For example, in August 1948, logging the State of Georgia, although he has not lived there for fifteen years, and his case is illustrated of others. On John Brown day Rev. Reverdy Camusius Ranom, whose talents no one has denied, delivered a scholarly and eloquent address on John Brown, whom he placed among the heroes of history, and gave the honors Savonarola and Toussaint L'Overture. The address to the country written by Dr. DuBois, is a fine and touching piece of rhetoric. It paints a dimal and pathetic picture of the situation of the Afro-American and characteristically gloomy cloud. The effect of such an address is profound and unlawful discouragement to Afro-Americans. Dr. DuBois was re-elected general secretary and George H. Jackson Eqn. of Cincinnati, National treasurer. Women were definitely declared to be eligible to membership and Mrs. G. W. Morgan, of Cambridge, Mass., was appointed head of the women. Associated membership was also established. The address follows: The men of the Niagara movement coming from the toll of the year's hard work and pausing a moment from the carving of their daily bread turn toward the nation, and the women of Niagara have privilege of a bearing. In the past year the work of the Negro hater has nourished in the land. Step by step the defenders of the rights of American citizens have retreated. Of stealing the black man's ballot has proceeded. In the presentatives of stolen votes still sit in the nation's capital. Discrimination in travel and public accommodation has so spread that some of our weaker brethren are actuated against color discrimination as such and are simply whispering for ordinary decencies. Against this the Niagara Movement eternally protests. We will not be satisfied with manhood, rights. We claim for ourselves every single right that belongs to a freeborn American, political, civil and social; and it is our duty to protest and ameliorate the cars of America. The battle we wage is not for ourselves alone but for all true Americans. It is a battle for all Americans, a fatherland, false to its founding, become in truth the land of the thief and the home of the Slave by word and a hissing among the slaves for finding pretensions and pitiful accomplishment. Second. We want discrimination in public accommodation to cease. Separation in railway and street cars, based simply on race and color, is un-American, undemocratic. We protest against all such discrimination. Third. We claim the right of freemen to walk, talk, and be with them that wish to be with us. No man has a right to choose another man's friends and so far as possible, we have no more often arrested, convicted and mobbed. We want justice even for criminals and outlaws. We want the Constitution of the country enforced. We want Congress to take charge of Congressional elections. We want Congress to send the letter and every State disfranchised in Congress which attempts to disfranchise its rightful voters. We want the Fifteenth Amendment enforced and no State allowed to base its franchise simply on color. We want the Party in Congress at the session just closed to redeem its pledge of 1004 with reference to suffrage conditions at the South seems a plain, deliberate, and premeditated breach of the equality of obtaining votes under false pretence. Fifth. We want our children educated. The school system in the country districts of the South is a disgrace and in few towns and cities are the Negro schools what they ought to be. We want the national government to be more involved in the South. Either the United States will destroy ignorance or ignorance will destroy the United States. And when we call for education we mean real education. We believe in work. We mean education. But work is not necessarily education. Education is the embodiment of power and ideal. We want our children trained as intelligent human beings should be, and we will fight for all time. We want our children to be girls simply as servants and underlings, or simply for the use of other people. They have a right to know, to think, to aspire. These are some of the chief things which we want to teach our children, where we may vote, by persistent, unceasing agitation; by bhamming at the truth, by sacrifice and work. We want to teach our children the deplained violence of the raid nor the lauded violence of the soldier, nor the harboring violence of the mob, but we do believe in John Brown. In that incarnate spirit we want to teach our children to need to sacrifice money, reputation, and life itself on the altar of right. And here on the scene of John Brown's martyrdom we ourselves, our honor, our property to the end, our race which John Brown died to make free. Our enemies, trumpetman for the present, are fighting the atars in their courses. Justice and humanity must prevail. We live in a world in which we are scattered in counsel, wavering and weak—that no bride of money or notorily, no nominee of wealth or fame, in worth the surrender of a people's manhood or the loss of a nation. We must render the leadership of this race to concedes and truckers. We are men; we will be treated as men. On this rock we have planted our bananas. We will never give us the trump of doom and we still fighting. the present突围战 II. Thank God for John Brown I. Thank God for Garrett and Bingham I. Bunnyey and Fidgley, Not Turner Gunpowder and Gunpowder, Not Turner Gunpowder and who died for freedom I. Thank God for all those law, law through their voices in, who have not neglected the Grits of the American people, the rich and poor, fortune and undertakings. We appeal to the young men and women of this nation to those whose motifs are the same as those of the American people. Rural narrowsness: Stand up for the right-prove yourselves worthy of your horticulture and whether born north or south dawn.

There are many people here from Washington who are spending the heated days in this region and are enjoying themselves hugely. Mrs. Mary Church-Terrrell and children are spending a few days here resting. The family of Mr. Whitefield McKinlay has also been here. The cheerful face of Prof. R. T. Greener has added much to the pleasure of people who come to Harper's Ferry for rest. VOTERS OF OLD 19th HOLD Ovation for Mr. Quigle and Mathalasam for John J. Hahn. The regular Republican organization of the old 19th Assembly district gave its annual picnic and summernight's festival at Gutterling's Cosmopolitan park and casino on Tuesday night. An immense throng was out. The picnic in the nature of a farewell, as the old 19th no longer exists. As it was the last outing in which the Afro-American voters, now re-apportioned into the 13th Assembly district, could meet their old leaders of the 19th, 4th, race was largely represented. Delegates of Afro-Americaners were present too from other districts, especially the 9th and 31st. The air was electric with enthusiasm for Hon. John J. Hahn, the next Republican leader of the 13th district. When Mr. Lemuel E. Quigr arrived he was given a stirring ation. He held a levee to greet his friends and ebook hands with about a 100 people. Everybody was a 100 people. The march was led by President John C. Coleman and Hon. Theodore P. Gilman. COLE AND JOHNSON MAKE MIT Large Audience on Opening Night in Washington. WASHINGTON, August 21—To those who enjoy a lively show, with plenty of comedy and an abundance of good music, the Shoo Fly Regiment," the latest contribution to musical comedy by Cole and Johnson, offers just recompense for her skillful delivery at the Majestic this week, and last evening a large audience was in attendance. The play is a comedy creation, with some serious reflections upon the condition of the Afro-American in the South, and with an ample number of pleasing habitats and musical features introduced. Bob Cole, as Hunter Wilson, the irrepressible janitor of Lincolnville Institute, is the principal purveyor of comedy, creating much amusement by his broad comedy work and topical songs, the most effective being, "If Adam Hadn't Seen the Apple Tree, the Still, Small Volce," and "Down in the Philippines." Rossmond Johnson appears in the leading juvenile role of Edward Jackson, an educated Afro-American, who forsakes the teacher's vocation for the fire of a soldier. His best work in the play consists of his vocal numbers making hits with "Just How Much I Love You," "With Gul," and "Floating Down the Nile." The best character work is furnished by Bob A. Kelly, as Uncle July Jackson, an old-time Afro-American and Elizabeth Williams, as Aunt Phoebe, his wife. Considerable merriment is injected by the songs and antics of Irving Allen and Sam Lucas, in the roles of Bro Dollittle and Bro Dolless, the "bode of love" of the best vocal numbers fall to the list of Anna Cook Pankey, as Martha Jones, the lady principal of Lincolnville Institute. She has a soprano voice of good quality, and rendered in a pleasing manner, "I'll Always Love Old Dixie" and "Southland." He is well trained, and the minor roles, both comedy and serious, are well sustained. Some very entertaining specialities are introduced notably the second in which Siren Newyork takes the premier part. Aside from those already mentioned, other noteworthy musical numbers are "Bode of Edujacshun," by Meersa. Allen and Lucas; "Run, Brun, Drabble Rabbit, Run," by Matt Marshall and Andrew Tribble, and "On the Gay Luneta," by Meersa and clique. The whole show is entertaining with a succession of bright features that keep the interest acute throughout. Inez Clough made a distinctly favoyable impression, her strong soprano voice eliciting much of the applause. COMPULSORY EDUCATION HELPS So He Opposes It—Backpedaled When Proof Was Mentioned. COLUMBIA, S. C., August 21.—Senator Tillman has come out against the compulsory education programs, which he declares, means giving the Afro-Americans the advantage. In a recent speech he said that the Columbia State lied when it made the assertion that a compulsory education law would keep Afro-Americans out of the schools. "To settle the question of lying," Editor Gonzales has invited three personal and political friends of Senator Tillman—two former State treasurers and the president of a National bank—to act as a committee and find a verdict on the record. If Tillman is sustained, the editor retire from editorial advocacy of compulsory education, admit the charge and give $200 to the association. If Tillman is not sustained he is admit the lie and enrich the cotton association's treasury by $200. The challenge is still pending. Edward V.

Norwood of this city who took a trade course at Taukegee Institute, has just been granted a patent for a railroad signal register. Railroad experts who have examined the device pronounce it one of the most ingenious inventions for preventing railroad accidents that has ever come to light. Mr. Norwood's register indicates the actual movement of all trains on any line and records the time of arrival and departure of all trains from all points. This record can be received on a moving train. The engineers on any train within in a given number of miles—say 15 or 20—apart will be able to tell the exact point where the train is and its rate of speed. All stations along the line can have the same register in their private trains from the train can tell the location of a train. In other words the program of a train is registered all the time until its arrival. There is also a part of the same invention—a switch fog signal, which will indicate an open switch, in case of fog or snow storm. The real value of this invention is that it renders collisions practically impossible. A great deal of interest has been manifested by railroad movers in inventing Mr. Norrow's hose formation difficulty in getting his invention capitalized. A corporation known as the Norwood Signal Register Co. has been formed with a capital stock of $200,000. Whitman Sisters Succeed at Atlantic City. The Whitman Sisters and Willie Robinson, who have been at Atlantic City for some weeks, have filled numerous concert engagements and have become immensely popular, especially among the church people. These artists make their way by sheer genius and push, and are looking forward to the coming season of work with confidence, as they have already secured several profitable engagements. They will make their headquarters in or near New York City. ang 10-05-1y S Telephone Conscriptus M. HAHN WINES, LIQUORS and CORDIALS 823 COLUMBUS AVE.

President Reevevelt on Republican issues In another column of THE AGE to day we give the full text of the Presiding Roosevelt's review of the situation, with special reference to the ensuing Congress elections. It is a very able review of what has been accomplished in legislation by the last Congress. The President wants the Republican majority in Congress continued because of the good work it has done and to enable him to get the further legislation needed to make effective the general policy which he has formulated with regard to corporations, labor unions and the Panama Canal. We are sure that the Afro-American people will note with interest how completely they and their rights have passed out of the policy of the Republican party, in the President's statement of what Congress has accomplished in the past two years and what he hopes to have it accomplish in the next two years. It is very clear that the Afro-American and his rights are no longer a part of the policy of the Republican party. The wrongs which have been hitched upon him in disfranchisement, separate accommodations by land and water, separation in public schools, and infamous miscegenation laws, by the Southern Democratic oligarchy; the Republican party simply accepts these wrongs of the Southern States, as fixtures with which the party has no concern at all. The Afro-American is told in the language of silence that he must hustle for his own life in the citizenship of the Republic. William Travers Jerome Mr. William Travers Jerome, a famboyant citizen of this town, who is a whole political outfit in himself, has announced that he will accept the Democratic nomination for Governor of New York State if allowed to be his own platform. Strangely enough, The New York State is whoooping it up for Jerome, as also are all of the dear Mugwump newspapers which do not believe in government by party but by individual initiative. The probabilities are that Mr. Jerome will receive the Democratic nomination, because the Democratic party in New York State has fallen so low in the public estimation that it will grab at any alleged votegetter who is sharp enough to create the belief that he is the whole political "it" in the situation. We want none of William Travers Jerome in ours, and we do not think there are any Afro Americans in New York State who want any of him. It is to be hoped that the Republican leaders will compose their differences and nominate a ticket at the Saratoga convention that the Democrats cannot beat with Jerome or any other man. The Southern Democratic Political Trust. Under the caption, "Bryan's Hoodoo," The New York Independent has the following to say: "The railroad problem now occupies his mind, and he has decided if the newspapers know anything about it that Mr. Roosevelt's rate regulation and the more radical proposition, to turn the railroads over to the Federal Government, are equally unsatisfactory. He has devised a scheme of his own which he proposes to offer as the novel plan for his plight. He cruises by describing it as a plan for State ownership in distinction from National ownership. * * * Does Mr. Bryan advocate this queer plan of State railroad system because a Federal railroad system would not provide a 'Jim Crow' car service north of Mason and Dixon's line, and does Mr. Bryan imagine that by making this concession to the Federal system, he could solid South while fighting along advanced radical lines for political success in the North." This surmise of The Independent that Bryan is catering to Southern race prejudice in his advocacy of State instead of National control of railroads seems well founded, in view of the fact that Mr. Bryan, in his last campaign, ignored certain questions propounded to him by Afro-Americans as to his position on the race question in the South. We recall also Mr. Bryan's inordinate solicitude for the condition of the Philippines and East Indians, deploying with tears in his mouth the treatment they are receiving, while the political and social condition of the Afro-Americans in the South stinks to high heaven because of the brutality, ignorance and outright cussetness of his bosom friends and colleagues in the Democratic party. Afro-Americans are with Roosevelt in favor of National regulation of railroads, and we so him one better and ask for National supervision of elections of members of Congress. There are fully one hundred Congress districts in the South that by a fair and accurate vote are Republican, but which are invariably represented by Democrats because of the fraudulent, bullying, shotgun policy of such Bryan Jemerleas as Tillman, Vardaman and the like of them. Election for President and Opposition should be separate from State and municipal elections and should be controlled by Federal authorities, as State and municipal elections are controlled by State and municipal authorities. State politics and Federal politics are separate and distinct and should be kept separate in the voting and control of the voting. The Afro-American might have been a thousand times better in his citizenship to-day had the United States developed more of the Hamiltonian than the Jeffersonian ideas as to State governments. Afro-Americans necessarily are Hamiltonian Federalists, and the sooner the various States lose some of their sovereignty the sooner will Afro-Americans get what is due them. The Supreme Court has given the States control of what are termed police regulations, in which are included about all the minor rights of the citizens of the States, and which, in view of the persistent determination of Mr. Bryan's Southern Democratic colleagues to humiliate and oppress the Afro-Americans of this country, will eventually create as effective a system of serfdom in the South as ever obtained in darkest Europe. Mr. Bryan's party is holding the Afro-American down with an iron hand, and his effort to ride two horses at once, both going in different directions, by endorsing the "Jim Crow" system of the South, is a feat he cannot accomplish, and the end of his fiasco will be as ridiculous, if he is nominated, as was his foolish advocacy of 10 to 1 against the judgment and experience of the financial interests of the country. Mr. Bryan is lauded by his adherents as a "trust buster"; but the trust he never bursts, because he never mentions it, is the Southern Democratic trust, which was not only conceived in fraud and brought forth in siniquity, but is doing business on stolen votes, false promises and murder. In this Southern political trust one Southern white voter counts for about ten times as much as a Northern voter. It would seem that here would be a good field for Mr. Bryan to help his country rid itself in the eyes of the world of a standing shame and blot upon its fair name. When Republicanis fire at the South for its political raciality the machine Democracy dodges behind the cry of "waving the bloody shirt." But Bryan and the Southern Democrats can clear up their own household themselves without it. Will they dare undertake it? New York Republicans. The two factions which have been striking for the mastery of the Republican party of New York State during the past two years had a showdown of their strength at the meeting of the State Committee, in New York, last week, when the Odell-Quigg people outvoted the Higgins-Parons people and took charge of affairs, or rather, retained the control which they have had all along. The matter was decided by one vote only, but it is a fact that Chairman Odell had other votes in reserve if they had been needed. The matter of final control will be fought in the primaries and then in the convention at Saratoga next month, but it is regarded as quite certain that the Higgins-Parons people are already whipped, and that the Odell-Quigg people will dominate the Saratoga convention. Governor Higgins has not declared that he wants a remination, and he may not do so now, as the chances are that the Saratoga convention would not gratify his wishes. The Odell-Quigg people represent the regular party organization people of the State. They have controlled the party organization during the past twenty years. They have made mistakes, as it is impossible for men not to do so, but they have controlled the party wisely and kept it in control of the government of New York State for a great part of the time. Indeed, under their control, New York State has come to be regarded as a reliably Republican in all State and National elections. While Senator Platt was the leader of the party most of the time here indicated Mr. Quigg in New York County and Mr. Odell in the State have been the working force, and during the past few years Mr. Odell has controlled the leadership. During the past few years an opposition has been created to Mr. Odell's control of the party, but efforts to undo him have not prevailed. The Saratoga convention, September 20, will settle the matter of party control for the emaining two years, at least, and it looks now as though the Odell-Quigg people will boss the job when the smoke of battle clears away. The Afro-Cuban It is announced that the Cuban government has nipped in the bud a conspiracy to overthrow the administration of President Palma. Perhaps it has, but we doubt it. The chances are that the conspiracy has been headed off for the moment. There has been widespread dissatisfaction with the Palma administration from the beginning, as the opinion was general and still prevails that Palma was the special candidate of the American Government. The people who did most of the fighting and contributed most of the money for the prosecution of the Cuban revolution against Spain were Pro-Cubans, who in the American war against Spain allowed white Cubans to boss the job on politic and diplomatic grounds. We saw the fallacy of that policy, and pointed it out to some of those named as conspirators, which led to subordination of them in the American Protectorate under Governor General Fitzhugh Lee and has led to the same thing under the conduct of the Cuban government by President Palma. You can't eat your pep and have it. The Afro-Albanians did that. If they get what is that the in the conduct of the government of Cuba they will have to fight for it. The Cuban revolution was sustained by the contribution of Cuban cigar makers in the United States, who gave up a stipulated portion of their earnings every week, and a majority of their patrons were Afro-Cubans. The Cuban army was made up as to the body of the troops by Afro-Cubans, and they were commanded for the most part by Afro-Cubans, from the nine Mexican brothers, all of whom died in battle, down. But these Afro-Cubans receive small credit during the program of the war and small consideration in the government of the country since the war. Of course they are dismantled, and will seek to correct the error they made in standing aside for the white Cubans. A white man nowhere has any conscience. Glynn the chance everywhere he will take his shares and that of the other fellow as well. It is hard to make black folks understand this. As we go to press it appears that the conspiracy has not been nipped at all, but is very much in evidence. the Philippine Islands. It has always been our belief that some sort of understanding was also reached with these Southern Democrats at the time that Afro-Americans were not to be employed in the administration of these countries and that the labor question in the Southern States should never be disturbed by the employment of Afro-American labor. The policy has been pursued, at any rate, in all of the territories acquired from Spain, and in Hawaii, not only under President McKinley but under President Roosevelt as well. The policy rules in the employment of Afro-American labor in the Panama Canal Zone. It does not seem conceivable that such a policy would have been adopted and rigidly enforced all along the line without such understanding as we have indicated. The policy is now quite twelve years old. It looks as if it had come to stay. Will it? Can Afro-American labor dig the big canal? We think it can.

Afro-Americans and the Insular Territories Having experimented with all sorts of West Indian white and black labor, the Panama Canal Commission, it has been employed Chinese labor to dig the big canal. The announcement has been made that West Indian black labor has proved the poorest of all labor with which the Commission has experimented. The faby story is told that these people could not stand the good eating and clean living, including baths and proper medical attention, which the Commission insist upon in their employees. The manual laborers on the canal receive ten cents an hour, so that if a man works ten hours he will earn one dollar. This is mighty poor wages for the sort of labor to be performed and the material conditions surrounding the work; but that is the gate enforced by the Commission. If the West Indian blacks, who are immune from the conditions indent to the climate of the Isthmus, have proven a failure, then it is difficult to see how even the Chinese can succeed, despite the fact that they are regarded as the toughest manual labor drudgers in all of the earth. They certainly are the most stolid and plodding, but the number of them who die as a result of the severe labor they are willing to do for wages which defy competition will easily be shown in any given situation where they labor, as in the sugar plantations of Hawaii, for instance. But when once the Chinese labor force is used there is always an unlimited supply, so that it does not become necessary to take into account the numbers who die. When people have an abundance of anything, whether of labor or other marketable commodity, they become prodigal in the use of it. If the Commission have finally decided to employ Chinese labor they can get all of it that they may want. It is a peculiar fact, to which we have directed attention before, that while the Council Commission have experimented with all sorts of labor they have carefully obtained from giving the Afro-American laborer a chance. The same thing is true in the employment of labor in Hawaii and the Philippines. The policy of the Government has been and is to exclude Afro-American laborers entirely, and other Afro-Americans in all other capacities, as far as possible, from the territories of Ponto Rio, Panama, Hawaii and the Philippines. In those territories they have not been employed in any capacity whatever when it could be avoided. We have sought in all directions for an explanation of this peculiar policy, but we have been unable to reach any definite conclusion, because those who have the policy in charge have not shown any disposition to discuss it. We have reached two reasons, however, based upon personal observation and close study of the subject, at home and in the Orient, which go far to explain the policy: 1. Afro-Americans are not wanted in the Inular Territories in any capacity whatever, because Southern white men nominate the civil, military and social life of these territories. They have a good thing and they wish to keep it to themselves. But the social phase of the matter is at the bottom of the whole business, as it is in the Southern States. The governing authorities have drawn the color line on the natives of all of the territories. When Secretary Taft was Governor-General of the Philippines he did what he could to break down the barriers and to give the natives a fair and square deal, but the force with which he had been surrounded in the government were stronger than he. When he was succeeded by a rank Southern the treatment of the natives was of such a character as to provoke the open revolts with which the authorities are still dealing. The Filipino is very much like the American Indian; he thinks he is as good as the other man, and when this is disputed he will fight. Now, the Afro-Americans have been kept out of the Inular Territories as far as possible because they mix freely with the natives and soon establish good relations with them; the authorities have not desired this; as it has been said, it would complicate the race question unnecessarily. But the real trouble has been and is that all Americans away from home have to be treated as being on equality in the positions they occupy, whether in the civil or military establishments; if not, the natives want to know why. So the policy was adopted to keep Afro-Americans out as far as possible. In line with this policy, neither President McKinley nor President Roosevelt has ever appointed an Afro-American to any high government position in the Inular Territories. 2. In the precipitation of the Spanish war and the issues growing out of it, President McKinley found it necessary to have the support of Southern Democrats in the Congress. Large numbers of these people were appointed to high positions in the army and in the civil government of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines Islands. It has always been our belief that some sort of understanding was also received with these Southern Democrats at the time that Afro-Americans were not to be employed in the administration of these countries and that the labor question in the Southern States should never be disturbed by the employment of Afro-American labor. The policy has been pursued at any rate, in all of the territories acquired from Spain, and in Hawaii, not only under President McKinley but under President Roosevelt as well. The policy rules in the employment of Afro-American labor in the Panama Canal Zone. It does not seem conceivable that such a policy would have been adopted and rigidly enforced all along the line without some such understanding as we have indicated. The policy is now quite twelve years old. It looks as if it had come to stay. Will it? Can Afro-American labor dig the big canal? We think it can. But as the authorities who have charges of the work have decided that they do not intend even to give that labor a trial, we are bound to conclude that there is something at the bottom of the whole matter which has not been made public. But we are not going to do that on our day. And the policy which excludes Afro-Americans from the civil service in the Insular Territories, the truth about that will be known some day. Lynched in the Presence of the Governor. Governor Glen of North Carolina and Governor Heywood of South Carolina are both opposed to mob and lynch law. There were lynchings in both of their States during the past ten days. Governor Glenn went right after the Salisbury lynchers in the courts, and one of them has been tried and convicted and sentenced to fifteen years in the penitentiary. That sort of action on the part of Southern governors and the courts would soon put a stop to mob violence. Judge Long of North Carolina deserves well of the people of, his State for the attitude he took toward the lynchers. He believes that the courts and the processes of law should be respected, and he put his belief into practice in the only way to make it effective. Governor Heywood of South Carolina made a brave plea that the law be allowed to take its course in the case of an alleged criminal. The mob listened to him patiently and applauded him loudly when he had finished his address, and then proceeded to lynch the prisoner, practically in the presence of the Governor. We have seen no statement of any action the Governor instituted as a result of the conduct of the mob, but that the police that he will have allowed the matter to be dropped without some action which would show the mob that it is not bigger and stronger than the lawful authority of the State of South Carolina. When a man is lynched in the presence of a governor, in a condition of society where such a thing could happen, there must be something radically weak in the body of the citizenship. Mob law is an indication of absence of law, or inefficiency of such as there may be, and indicates a low moral and mental condition of the people, for the best of laws are of no value if they are not respected and enforced by the public opinion in a given place. The Southern States have so long been governed by a public opinion which defies and flouts law and lawful authority that respect; for these has reached the very lowest point among all classes of the citizenship. Let us hope that the attitude of the governors of North and South Carolina may help to bring about a better state of affairs. --- Good Luck to the Elks. The fight which the local Elks, in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Jersey City are making against Grand Exalted Ruler B. T. Howard has its attractive feature. When the Grattian law was passed in the New York Legislature and arrests of Afro-Americans were made in several parts of the State for wearing Elk pins, the Grand Ruler was at once convinced that the annual convention, set this year by the grand lodge for Brooklyn, ought to fly to more congenial climes, and designated—without authority, they say—Columbus O., as the place of meeting. The local lodge felt that the better part would be to come right on here with the convention and board this new lion of prejudice in his den. This course was, of course, the more courageous and gratifying. We are also pleased with the local lodges for the resolutions and energy with which they have proceeded to ensure the success of the Brooklyn meeting. They deserve to succeed and say they will. The Niagara Movement's address is too bitter and ingrubulous. Let's have something cheerful. --- Now Valparaiso, Chill, has been destroyed by an earthquake. The present year has been notable for earthquake and volcanic eruptions in every quarter of the globe. --- Some soldiers of the Twentieth Infantry, stationed at Brownville, Texas, had a fraca with some of the white citizens, in which one of the latter was killed and one wounded. The citizens of Texas have represented the stationing of detachments of this regiment in their State and have been nagging the soldiers right along. The Brownville affair affirmed up the Texas Governor and Senators, and Representatives in Congress to petition the President to remove the troops from the State. The War Department has ordered the three companies at Fort Pike Ringgold, Texas, to Among the troops stationed in that State to another State there appears to have been no decision reached by the President and the War Department. They should not be removed, let them remain in Texas, and if the whites do not treat them right they have shown wherever they have been that they can take care of themselves. WASHINGTON, August 20—President Reagan gave a great impetus to the Republican Congressional campaign today by making public a letter to Representatives James R. Watson of Indiana, whip of the House, in which he emphasizes the necessity of re-electing a Republican House of Representatives. Incidentally the President paid a high tribute to Speaker Cannon. The President's letter caused some surprise here, but its significance is not lost on the politician, who realizes that the President has determined to throw his personality into the campaign, and that will mean much for the Republican nominee. From this time forward the issue before the people will be: The President; shall his leadership be indoored? On that issue the Republicans will be in measurably strengthened in the opinion of both Republicans and Democrats here. The letter follows: President Reeve's Letter. "OYTNEY BAY, N. Y., AUG. 18, 1900. "MY DEAR WATRON: I hear through Speaker Cannon and Representative Sherman that you have volunteered as a Congressional Committee for the entire paign, without regard to the effect it may have upon your canvases in your own district, and I feel like writing you a word of congratulation and of earnest hope for the success of your efforts. If there were only partisan issues involved in this paign, anything publicly in reference thereto But I do not feel that such is the case. On the contrary, I feel that all good citizens who have the welfare of America at heart should appreciate the immense amount that has been accomplished by the present Congress organized, as it is, of a national organization in power. With Mr. Cannon as Speaker, the House has accomplished a literally phenomenal amount of good work. It has shown a courage, good sense and patriotism such that it would be a real and serious misfortune for the country to fail to recognize. To change leadership and organization of the House, we must engage in fusion upon those who have been successfully engaged in the steady working out of a great and comprehensive scheme for the betterment of our social, industrial and circle conditions. Such a change would substitute a purposeless confusion, aolen and hurtful oscillation between the extreme reactionary and the extreme reactionary, for the present orderly progress along the lines of a carefully thought-out policy. "The interests of this Nation are as varied as they are vast. Congress must take account, not of one National need, but of many and widely different National needs; and I speak with historic accoumary when I say that not in our time has Congress been able to address different fields of endeavor as the present Congress has done. No Congress can do everything. Still less can it in one session meet every need. At its first session the present Congress, in addition to the many tasks it actually completed, undertook several tasks which I firmly believe it will bring to completion in the future. Congress will be able to those I hope and believe that the bills to prohibit political contributions by corporations, and to lower the duties on imports from the Philippine Islands each of which has been passed by one House, will be enforced into law. I hope, and I have reason to believe, that favorable action will be taken upon the limiting the number of hours of employment and one or two other measures, the enactment of which I have reason to hope for are important. But far more important are the measures which have actually been passed, and as to these measures, I wish to reiterate that they are not important in a merely partisan sense, but are important because they subserve the welfare of our people as a means of protection as an entitlement. They are important because they them into law the theory showed themselves to be fit representatives of all good Americans. Must Dig Canal "In affairs outside of our own country our great work has been beginning to dig the Panama Canal. The acquisition of the canal strip was due to the initiative of Congress; and the fact that the work therow is now being done in the most thorough and satisfactory fashion has been accomplished. The grass at the session just closed. Only this action rendered the work possible, and the heartiest acknowledgments are due to the farseeing patriotism of those who thus made it possible. The digging of the Panama Canal is the colossal engineering feat of all the ages. No task as great, of the kind, has ever been undertaken by any other nation. The interests handed together to oppose it have been most of them with a particularly sinister basis for their opposition. This sinister opposition rarely, indeed, ventures openly to announce its antagonism to the canal as such. Sometimes it takes the form of baseless accusation against the management and of a demand for an investigation under circumstances which would mean indefinite delay. Sometimes it takes the form of determined opposition to the adoption of plans which will enable work to be done not merely in the best, but in the quickest possible way. "Had Congress been either liquid or corrupt, and had not the leaders of Congress shown the most far-sighted resolution in the matter; the work of building the canal would never have been halted. The opposition to the adoption of the treaty by which our right to build the Panama Canal was secured; a part at least of the opposition now being made to the ratification of the Santo Domingo treaty, which is one more step in the process of building the waters through which the route of the canal leads; the constant effort to delay on one protest and another the actual work on the canal will prove how essential it is that if the American people desire the Panama Canal to be built, they should uphold the hands of those who in the present Congress have so effectively championed this work. "No less praiseworthy has been the attitude of this Congress in coexisting to build and maintain on a high plane of efficiency the United States Navy. This country is irreversibly committed to the maintenance of the Monroe Doctrine. It is irrevocably committed to the principle of defending and policing the canal route. But its championship of the Monroe Doctrine and its announcement of its intentions as to the canal route is not without risk if the nation failed to do its duty, maintaining a thoroughly efficient navy at high a point of perfection as can possibly be attained. Control of Corporations. Our external affairs are important, but our internal affairs are even more important, and no other Congress for many a long Year has, as regards the settlement of our internal affairs, so much and such excellent work to its credit. The tremendous social and industrial changes in our Nation have rendered evident the need of a larger exercise by the National Government of our nation with the respect of wealth and especially of corporate wealth, in interstate business. It is not too much to say that the course of Congress within the last few years and the hearty agreement between the executive and legislative departments of the Nation in taking the needed action, each within its own sphere, have resulted in the Nation for the first time definitely entering the duty of ensuring proper protection of duty in these matters. The task is peculiarly difficult, because it is one in which the fanatical or foolish extremists, and the reactionary, whether honest or dishonest, play into one another's hands, and they thereby render it especially hard to secure legislative and executive action which shall be thoroughgoing and effective, and yet which shall not needlessly seepad the business of the Nation, and though we do not all share it with as much equality as we are striving to secure. "It is a very easy thing to play the demagogue in this matter, to confine one's self merely to denouncing the evils of wealth, and to advocate, after in vague language, measures so sweeping that, while they would entirely fall to correct the evils aimed at, would undoubtedly succeed is bringing down the system and to oppose any effort to deal with it. It is also easy to play the part of the more obstructionist; to decline to recognize the great evils of the present system and to oppose any effort to deal with them in rational fashion—thereby strengthening immensely the hands of those who advocate extreme and foolish measures. But it is not easy to do as the present Congress and its immediate predecessors have done, either literally or self-inflicted, those who have profited by the present evils, and the wild clamor of those care less to do away with them than to make a reputation with the muthinking by standing in extreme opposition to them. But this is precisely what the present Congress has done. Instead of enacting ant- trust laws that were completely to defeat their own objects, it has given us an interstate commerce law which will enable us to exercise in through fashion a supervision over the common carriers of this country, so as, while scrupulously safeguarding their proper interests, to prevent them from charging excessive rates; to prevent their favoring one man at the expense of another, and especially to prevent them from weakening a weak man; and to require them to be fully accountable to the public for the service which to their own profit they render the public. "The previous Congress, by the enactment of the Elkins law and by the creation of the Department of Commerce and Labor, including the Bureau of Corporations, had enabled us to make great strides in advance along the path of thus under the supervision and regulation of the National Government; for in actual practice it has proved a sham and pretense to say that the several States can thus supervise and regulate it. The strides taken by the present Congress have been even longer in the right direction. The enactment of the pure food bill and the passage of the bill which rendered effective the contracting industries are really along the same general line as the passage of the interstate commerce law and are second only to it in importance. Not Fast, but Slow: "Perhaps the peculiar merit of these laws is best shown by the fact that while they have aroused the deepest anger of the reactionaries, of the men who make a fetish of wealth, they have not satisfied the unwise extremists; and the present Congress in achieving this merit has acted in the exact spirit of Abraham Lincoln, who was never to be frightened out of going forward by the enemy, but into the enemy's eye, yet to be harried into a precipitate advance by the demands of the crude thinking, though often well meaning, men who are not accustomed sohler to distinguish between phrase making and action. To the men who come in the latter category all we need say is to bid them possess their souls in peace. They have advocated action, but we have taken action; and the fact that this action has been sober and temperate has been so obvious that it is for reaching efficiency. To the former class to the reactionaries who seem to fear that to deal in proper fashion with the alms of property is somehow an attack upon property--we would recall the words of Edmund Burke: "If wealth is obedient and laborious in the service of virtue and public honor, then wealth is in its place and has its use. But if this order is changed and honor is to be sacrificed to the conservation of riches, richness which have provided us with nothing truly vital in them, cannot long legitimate matters **** If we command our wealth we shall be rich and free. If our wealth commands us are poor indeed." Rights of Wage Farmers. "In addition to thus dealing with the proper control of capitalization wealth, Congress has also taken important steps in securing to the wage workers certain rights, including the right to just chase an employer's liability law was enacted, which puts the National Government in its proper place as regards such legislation. An eight hour law was already on the statute books, but almost inevitable with such laws, there was a need to fusion as to whose duty it was among the different public officials to enforce It. This confusion has now jumped pumphard, and the law is in process of through enforcement. If this enforcement demonstrates the need of additional legislation, to make this eight hour law effective I shall ask for such legislation. I may add that next year I shall ask Congress to put in the permanent form of law the provision I have made by executive order for securing to the civil worker under the Government bldg. laws, that is, the laws that as popular holidays are now covered by law for the unaltered clerical workers in the classified service. "No Congress has ever more clearly shown its practical appreciation of the fact that the welfare of the wage workers and the welfare of the tillers of the soil make the real basis of the welfare of the labor force, and do everything that can be done to further the interests of the farmer, and the wage worker; and this declaration is subject only to one reservation—which is, that for no man, and no body of men, will do anything that is wrong, every man, and every man, and to treat such as by his own actions he shows that he deserves to be treated. We favor the organization of labor, as we favor the organization of capital; but on condition that organised labor and organized capital alike act in the spirit of justice in the law, and when such are both the letter and the spirit of the law. We heartily favor trade unions, and we recognize in them, as in corporations, when properly conducted, indispensable instruments in the economic life of the present day; but where either type of organisation is guilty of abuse we do not want to allow the criminal power of the Government to deal with such abuse. We are anxious to help, alike by law, and by executive action, so far as in our power lies, every honest man, every right dealing labor union, and, for the matter of that, every right dealing corporation. But, as a corollary to this, we intend fearlessly and resolute action against the law and to遏止 it, so that we can put down wrong, whether done by rich or poor, if done by the most powerful corporation or the most influential labor union, just as much as if done by the humble and least influential individual in the land. The fact that we heartily recognise an organisation 'or a kind of organisation which we want to action to control it or to prevent its committing abuses when it uses in wrong fashion the power which organization confers. The Reverse Laws Elastic "The enactment into law of the bill rehousing the tax on alcohol used in the arts will ultimately be of marked benefit to us in more ways than one. It shows likewise the entire willingness of those responsible for the handling of the present Congress to alter our revenue system, whether derived by taxation on imports or internal taxation, whenever it is necessary so to do. The Taris. "We stand unequivocally for a protective tariff, and we feel that the phenomenal industrial prosperity which we are now enjoying is not lightly to be jeopardized; for it would be to the last degree foolish to allow a small benefit in the cost of general business depression. But whenever a given rate of schedule becomes evidently disadvantageous to the nation, because of the changes which go on from year to year in our conditions, and where it is feasible to change this rate or schedule, we should be able to do the system, it will be done, while it general revision of the rates and schedules will be undertaken whenever it shall appear to the softer business sense of our people that on the whole the benefits to be derived from making such changes will be less than the disadvantages; that is, when the revision will do more than harm. "Let me add one word of caution, however. The question of revising the tariff stands wholly apart from the question of dealing with the so-called trusts—that is, with the control of monopolies in business, especially corporate form. The only way in which it is possible to deal with those trusts and monopolies and this, great corporate wealth is by action along the lines of the laws enacted by the present Congress and its immediate predecessors. The cry that the problem can be met is that the laws cannot be whether consciously or unconscionantly, an effort to divert public attention from the only method of taking effective action. Intelligent Legislation "I shall not pretend to enumerate all the good measures of loss importance which the present Congress has enacted into law, although some of these measures, as, for instance, the conular bill and the naturalization bill, are of wide reaching effect. I have said enough to show why in my judgment you and I will be entitled to the good wishes of all those who defend the beliefs who believe that there are real evils in our industrial and economic system and that these evils can be effectively grappled with not by loose declaration, but by resolve and intelligent legislation and executive action. Sincerely yours, "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." "Hon. James E. Watson, M. C., Rushville, Ind." DISFRANCHISED LEADERS DuBois and Hernaw Have Shirked Their Poll Tax. From The Atlanta Independent.

The operai- entertainment and concert given by the orchestra of the Carlton avenue branch of the Younf Men's Christian Association at the building, 405 Carlton avenue, Friday night, 17th inst., was attended by a large gathering of members of the Younf Men's Christian Association. W. Margle Felton, member of her committee and other ladies were present and helped to look after minor details of the refreshment committee. Upon the lawn, while Mennar. M. B. Russoil, W. J. Mom, Eurene Henderson, William Washington and Secretary Hamilton, was presided over by Prof. P. Albert Myers; the orchestra led by Prof. F. K. Pine, gave several choice selections and Prof. C. F. Graves, principal of the Roanoke Institute at Elizabeth City, North Carolina made a stirring address in which he set forth the aims and needs of the branch and making illustration and conditions here among us and those in the South. Prof. GGraves is an earnest, self-scriffing young man of quite engraving manners; his address was logical and convincing. The orchestra is the most popular organization of the association, and through it the influence of the branch is felt. The branch is in the city. It was while in conversation with ex-Secretary Charles H. Bullock one evening soon after the formation of the association in the present building, that the idea of such a musical club for the branch, dawned upon Mr. William Washington to Bullock following out the idea of Mr. Wellington, next meeting invited all the men who were musically inclined and those who had such instruments as the violin, cornet, trombone, life and such like to bring into the building on a certain night; be result of, that conference was the translation of the now famous the Carlton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian Association of little well-trained men. "That it never rains but what is pours" is an old proverb often made manifest. That is just what happened at the Carleton avenue branch. Young Men's Christian Association, in partnership with our clock meeting. The most brilliant array of professional men that have assembled at any Sunday afternoon meeting were in attendance: Among them were Prof. C. F. Graves, principal of Roanoke Inf. School; Prof. A. E. Meyczek, district superintendent of public schools at Louisville, Ky., and chairman of the Colored Men's Branch of the Y. M. C. A. in that city, of which ex-Secretary C. H. Bullock is the efficient secretary; Prof. Charles C. H. Bullock is the chief who preceded; D. Macon Webster, attorney-at-law, and the Rev. O. M. Benfield of Jamaica British West Indies. Prof. Graves was the first speaker. His remarks were based upon the parable of the Prodigal Son, Luke the Lost Shepherd, the Mare, and Reunethroned. The address made a favorable impression upon the large number of men present and furnished food for thought for the speakers who followed. Prof. Meyczek followed Mr. Graves and Prof. oke, entertainingly upon a table, the Race Probable which he made, and those of the things that hinder and those which help in the great work of race uplift. Perhaps the most interesting part of Prof. Meyzeek's speech was the cliting of the struggles and final triumph of the establishment of the Colored Men's Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, and time they were looking for a secretary to take the work in hand, the membership had dwindled down to two members and he stood alone one the committee of management—that the white board of managers were loathe hear their petition and the situation is extremely aggravating; but finally succeeded in having him showed those white Christians how inconsistent it was for them to spend $300,000 upon themselves and not one cent upon the black Christians; when he got through with them they agreed to take three-fourths of a $10,000 option which the colored people were magnificent piece of property worth $600,000 a child, a gentleman offered to well a child, saying that he would give it all to them, but that would not leave them anything to do. This proposition being clinched, Secretary Bullock took the field in a sweeping for subscriptions and within a short time the exploded people had met their proffer of the contract and in position of one of the finest, Y. M. C. A. buildings (when furnished) for Afro-Americans in the United States. The next speaker was the Rev. O. M. Bendel, who commenced to speak in a humorous vein, saying that "he feared too much desert after so much good, solid food would not be good for the men—would give them indication, and indication would prevent them from this being on sudden death." The audience of the visiting speakers was Counsellor D. Macon Webster, who after saying that the outlook for the association was hopeful, said "that in his opinion a man by the Carlton avenue branch got strong enough the men ought to make a demand on the Central association for admission. This was the tosin for an admission. This was by N. Barnett Dodson, who rose primarily to receive greetings of Secretary Bullock through Prof. Beyseck—he wrought the boys up to a high pitch of enthusiasm and before he sat down he challenged debate upon the public platform on the merits of the case. The motion was seconded by the presiding judge of Carlton Avenue to be conveyed back to Secretary Bullock and the Louisville branch. Mr. F. H. Gilbert also spoke and but for the expiration of the time, an oratorical contest would have ensued. It was a great meeting. Mrs. Charles A. Moore and children of Lexington avenue, are visiting relatives in Stamford and South Norwalk, Conn. Prof. and Mrs. Charles A. Dorsey will leave the city this week for Saratoga. Mrs. Charles Burr and Mr. Frank Snarrows, of Gold street, spent Saturday and Sunday at Easton, Pa., the guests of Mrs. James Hogan. Owing to the absence of the battery of the West Side Y. M. C. A. team at camp, they did not care to play a game with a strange battery. As the canceling of the game left the Carlton avenue no one without a game to play, the second team took their hand full to defit it. Captain Matthews of the first team had to use three pitchers to keep from being defeated, and Secretary Hamlin, who played right field for the second team, took an kindly to one curve as another. He managed to get a bit off and hit the ball under it before it reached the ground. Potter, who pitched the last two innings for the second team, pitched only 21 balls, striking six men and allowing one hit. The playing of Powell at third base, and McKnight at second, was somewhat off-color in the fourth inning, and the second team was four. The second tam hopes to be able to play the first team again before the season closes. The Independent Order of St. Luke has gained considerable headway in Brooklyn within the past two years. As a secret order, the St. Luke is among the oldest of them, but their influence and work in this section have been almost at a standstill for years; and it was not until a year ago that the establishment of the St. Luke Penny Savings a Bnk in Richmond, Va., in November, 1908, that the old Northern wing of the order began to show signs of new life. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker who is credited with being the only Afro-American female president of a bank, has been the prime mover in this new order of things. St. Luke was instrumental in the existence between the two or three numbers of the order in this city, and a year ago the work began to flourish and several councils were set apart here and in neighboring cities.

The services of the Christian Endeavor are held on Tuesday evening of each week and are most well attended, and have proved to cause much Christian growth in the church. Mr. George Mattocks is the faithful evangelist.

Connor, the efficient proprietor of the Royal Cafe, 17th Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn, is well known, is highly respected and has the confidence of the people in the community. He is a successful business man. Mr. Connor was born in the Old Dominion State thirty-two years ago, and is now in the prime and vigor of manhood. He was educated in the public schools in the State of his birth, and shortly after reaching the proper age he enlisted in the U. S. Navy. He worked hard and earnestly for promotion and was soon promoted to the grade of ward-room steward. Mr. Connor served with credit until the end of the Spanish-American War. While in the service of his country he showed splendid abilities and acumen in handling the various duties pertaining to such an important and worthy JOHN W. CONNOR office on a man-of-war, which requires executive ability, alertness, quickness and last but not least diplomacy. After being honorably discharged from the naval service he established the Royal Cafe. It can be said without braggingdocio that the cafe is the finest Afro-American cafe, in Brooklyn. Only a few white cafes can surpass it in beauty or in urt-to-date service. About three years ago a serious fire started on the second floor of the cafe and destroyed something like $2,500 worth of foreign brie-brace and beautiful pictures of funny years' collection. Notwithstanding, the serious loss, Mr. Connor resumed business again after a few months. During that time he remodeled the entire building. H. has acquired considerable means, and, by his persistent efforts and strict business principles, made a rating in the business district that speaks volumes for his integrity. He is ex-treasurer of Brooklyn Lodge. No. 32, of Elka, a prominent member of the Spanish-American War Veterans a progressive member of Hiram Lodge. No. 23. F. and A.

LONDON, August 10—The Times this morning says it learns from a reliable source that John D. Rockefeller has furnished funds for railroad developments in Tanganyika. Africa. This led to the recent rise in Tanganyika shares and Rhodnius generally. In its financial article The Times says the development of the Tanganyika company's potential resources have been checked by the difficulty of raising capital for the completion of the railroad communication. Although no official announcement has been made, it is believed that the difficulty has been overcome. The investment of American capital in South Africa, which already has benefited so much from American engineering skill, is naturally an event of some importance. An applicant was undergoing a civil service examination. With a view to testing his knowledge of history, the examining officer asked him what he knew of the Punic War.

It is absolutely necessary that certificates be procured indicating that full fare has been paid for going passage and also indicating the routes traveled in going to the place of meeting. No refund of fare can be expected because of failure to secure such certificates.

Afro-American passengers on roads entering the new terminal station at Atlanta are not allowed to use the front entrance, but are compelled to enter and leave the station through a "Jim Crow" side door, so it is important that when you buy your ticket to demand that it reads via either of the following railroads into Atlanta: Seaboard Air Line Railway, Louisville and Nashville Railroad, Georgia Railroad or Western and Atlantic Railroad. These roads all enter the old station, where there is no "Jim Crow" entrance. "POP" BERKIAN DEAD AGED 106: HAD TWO WHITE WIVES A Character of The Bronx Who Won Once a Slave. John Herrian, an Afro-American widely known in The Bronx as "Pop," died last week at Fordham Hospital. He claimed to be one hundred and six years old. He had been a slave and was very fond of relating tales of the days of slavery. He had been married three times and leaves many children. His last two wives were white, the third Mrs. Herrian being a stout Irish woman who died several years ago. His home was a little cabin he built at Baychester, on the shore of Fastestchester Bay. It is believed that he left a smug sum of money. He made a living digging clams, selling fish that he caught in the Sound, and caring for lawns in the vicinity. "Are you a burglar, my man?" asked the householder. "No." responded the man with the dark-lantern. "I am an agent of the Society to Limit the Rise of Great Fortunes."—New York Herald.

RICHMOND, Va., August 20.—Afro-American enterprises are springing up in Richmond and in every section of the State as rapidly as the proverbial bean stalk.

The latest company to be granted articles of incorporation is the Capital Shoe and Supply Company. This company has been forced to a term of years the monolithic three-story brick building at 20S East Broad street, the main retail thoroughfare of the city. The building is being remodeled and on September 1 will throw its doors open to the public, with a full line of shoes, trunks, satchels, valises, hand bags, etc. The officers of the company are John T. Taylor, president: Thomas M. Crump, secretary: T. T. Hill, treasurer; and William H. Hayes, manager. The promoters of this enterprise are fully identified with the business interests of Richmond and success is predicted them in this new venture. Target Insensitive From The Cambridge (Mama.) Mirror.
