GEN. BANDERA LOSES LIFE Famous Black Chieftain Killed by Cuban Rural Guards RACE WAR ON ISLAND Afro-Cubans in Arms Against White Cubans—Bandera's Loss to the Former HAVANA, August 23.—General Quent ta Bandera, the famous black chieftain, who led an insurgent band in this provin- ce against the Government, was killed early this morning, in an encounter with rural guards. His body lies in the morgue at Havana, to-day flanked by those of two nuisitto comrades, all frightfully gashed by the long, heavy machines of the mounted rural guards. GENERAL QUENTIN BANDERA. who ended their career. Across the street, in Neptuno Park, near the harbor entrance, a great crowd, mostly Negro friends of Bandera, are silently watching the mormon. The arrival of Bandera's body here was the first news of the fight in which he met his death. The conflict took place at the Silveira Farm, near Punta Brara, fifteen miles from Havana. A detachment of thirty-eight mountaineers guarded the entrance to the Carmelo Delgado Lieutenant Martines, were searching throughout the night for Bandera's party. At 2 o'clock this morning the rural guards were breaking through a wire fence at the edge of the Silveira Farm when they were suddenly fired upon by Bandera's twenty followers. The guards rushed upon the insurgents, but, with the exception of their chief, the guards succeeded in getting away. The guards made Bandera and his two companions a special object of attack and all three received several bullet wounds and were horribly mutilated by machete cuts. Not one of the guards was wounded. The bodies of Bandera and his companions were placed in a wagon and the team was trapped. An examination of Bandera's body showed a severe wound on the head from a machete, which cut off his left ear and made an ugly incision in his face. He also had bullet wounds in his arms and breast. The condition of Bandera's two dead companions was even more severe. The bodies were buried with evidence of the hard life which they had been leading while eluding their pursuers. It has been open talk among the rural guards that Handeran would never live to be tried for treason, his death being the main object of the Government forces. The smallness of the party accompanying Handeran has caused surprise here, but it is believed that he had only a part of his band with him. In any case, it is believed that the inquisitionary movement has been broken by Handeran's death. Bandera was about sixty years old. He took part in the ten years' war, as well as in the war for Cusan independence; during which he was the first man who crossed the Spanish trocha which shut off the province of Pinar del Río from Havana province. He also brought a province of Cuba, and known great influence with the colored people. It was recently pointed out that while the Cuban Government gave Bandera full credit for his contribution to the cause of liberty; it had not in the four years of its existence been able to discover any other ability, of far-fitting, in Havana. Bandera was in the habit of gathering crowds of Negroes about him, and making speeches to on the ingratitude of republics. On one occasion Bandera went to the Senate Chamber, while the Senate was in session, and delivered a violent speech criticizing the Government for not giving him an office, and afterward appointed doorkeeper of the House of Parliament. The position to which Bandera aspired was that of chief of police. The war in Cuba is at bottom a race war, between the white and Negro Cubans. The latter suffer an irretrievable loss in the death of General Bandera. Western Editors to Next.

LANE FOR ELLIPHS LIBRISLATURE Made Fine Reed, but Lord Out in Prismatum. CIRCAQ, August 28.—Hon. Edward Green, who has served with distinction one term in the Illinois Legislature, was, contrary to expectation, defeated for renomination at the primaries by Dr. Alexander Lane, one of the leading Afro-American physician of this city. Dr. Lane was born forty-six years ago at Lexington, Miss., but came to Illinois when eight years old and settled in Perry county, where he attended the public schools. He then went to Carbondale and entered the State school known as the Southern Illinois Normal School.

GEORGIA REPUBLICANS HOLD "JIM CROW" CONVENTION Only One Afro-American at State Meeting. ATLANTA, August 22.—Over one hundred of the leading white Republicans of the State, with only one Afro-American, including representatives from every district of the State, met Saturday afternoon at the court house and after discussing the advisability of putting out State Central Republicans, making the State central Republican candidates to call a convention of Republicans to meet in Atlanta some time during the present month for the purpose of nominating a complete State ticket. WHERE THE SUN NEVER HAS SET ON AN AFRO-AMERICAN Can't Stop Over Night in Canton—Open During Day. ASHVILLE, N. C., August 24.—According to authentic information received here the little town of Canton, where is building the great $1,000,000 pulp plant of the Champian Fibre Company, has never in the memory of man, sheltered an Afro-American over night. This fact has been made out to me and a fort was made to employ Afro-American labor and it was found impossible to secure this class of labor at Canton. The Afro-Americans will not go to Canton. They are said to be aware of the barrier that Canton's citizens have raised and are not desirous of looking for trouble. Inquiry this week of a prominent town of Waynesville, a few miles from Canton, will reveal the existence of Afro-Americans in Canton at night, resulted in the statement that not in the memory of man had an Afro-American spent the night there. WHITE BRUTE THREW HER OFF MOVING STREET CAR Afro-American Woman Had the Nerve to Sit Beside Him. MACON, Ga., August 23.—One of the most brutal acts taken in Mamoun for some time was perpetrated on Miss Emma Pitts, the only Afro-American milliner in the State, who conducts a large establishment on Cottin avenue. Miss Pitts had been out on Ward street who was ill at the time. The milliner, the Orugal gee car and attempted to transfer to the Vineville line. The cars returning from Crump's Park being crowded, hundreds of people stood helplessly in the road, with no means of reaching their destination, the motormen oftentimes not even stopping to allow the Afro-American people holding transfer tickets to board the cars. At last Miss Pitts saw her chance and was assisted on the car by a gentleman who was sitting behind her, away. As Miss Pitts attempted to enter the only seat where there was a vacancy a white man, who conducts a loan office on the avenue, and who is well known, deliberately shoved her off of the moving car. She fell, striking her head and shoulders and rendered her unconscious for a while in time. Fortunately two doctors woman and rendered her every assistance and succeeded in resuscitating her. She was taken home, where she is now quite comfortable, shoulder and hip, with some internal injuries, and considers herself lucky to be alive. The white brute is still at large and is likely to remain so. If he had been an Afro-American and Miss Pitts a white woman— WHITE MAN STRUCK WOMAN IN STOMACH; NOT CARRESTED No. Provecation for This Brutality and No Redress. Merritt, Tenn., August 24.—On last Saturday evening as Mrs. Mary Abbott, an Afro-American, was coming south on Main street she was met by a white man as she attempted to cross McCall and was struck by a man who the stomach with his first. Mrs. Abbott was an badly surprised and shocked as she was injured by the onlaught. Strange to say, this man was allowed to go on his way unmolested; in spite of the fact that several men were standing near by and made no effort whatever to help her if she knew the man, and she replied in the negative. Fortunately, she was not seriously injured. Mrs. Abbott says that she pointed the man out to a Maine street, "coop," but he refused to arrest him, telling her to swear out a warrent for him. Mrs. Abbott says that she can easily identify the man who replied in the negative. Mrs. Abbott him at Brys's dry goods store, where he is employed. NEW YORK, THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 1906. DIVIDE SCHOOL FUNDS This One of the Victorious Issues —Brazen Campaign for Suffrage Unfairness ATLANTA, GA., August 24—The returns indicate that Hoke Smith has been nominated by the Democrats for Governor of Georgia over his four opponents, Clark Howell, editor of The Atlanta Constitution; J. N. Eatl, editor of The Sevenasan Morning News; Judge R. E. Russell, and James M. Smith, a wealthy convict farmer. There was a deluge, an avalanche, for Smith in Carried 118 of the 145 counties in the State. Smith made his campaign on the issues of disfranchising the Afro-American against an alleged railroad rail in control of the Democratic organization and for lower freight rates. He was fought by the four other candidates, who combined against him. Smith and Clark Howell both live in Atlanta, which is in the southeastern Smith heat Howell badly here carrying everyward and precinct. Smith has never before been a candidate for office. The main reason of Hoke Smith's landslide was the stand he took on the question of the Afro-American vote. He had been known formerly as a friend of the Georgia Afro-American, voter, as a friend of their own great satisfaction. To meet this, and like stories, Smith issued a statement as to his purposes. It was brutally direct. He proposed to change the existing voting qualification (one which makes Georgia perhaps the most liberal of Southern States in its attitude toward voting) and substituted an educational qualification. The educational clause was to have the effect, he frankly stated, of disfranchising every Afro-American in the State of Georgia, without debarring a single white man from the polls. There was no mincing of words about this proposal, and the commissioners could apply the educational qualification as they deemed proper, and white illiterates were to be passed upon with an eye turned away. Again the white Georgians applauded, for the Afro-American vote is heavy in many counties, and the Afro-American people have taken keen advantage of the opportunity to vote. The intention for reducing the menacing black vote Clark Howell's plan to "leave well enough alone" availed little. And further, it was part of the scheme of disfranchising to allot the school funds for Afro-American children on the basis of direct taxation, instead of the prospective taxation—a change which would take thousands of them from school altogether. Another factor in Hoke Smith's victory was his alliance with Thomas E. Watson, once Poplist candidate for President. Just how Watson came to throw his strength with Smith can only be guessed at, for the men were at odds for years on many questions. He said himself that he agreed with Hoke Smith in franchising, but never mentioned the American; he never mentioned the effect when he was a Poplist candidate, and in fact, committed himself to rather extravagant courting of the black vote. But "Tom" Watson is the idol of the Georgia Poplists, and there are fully 20,000 of them in the State. In spite of the fact that Watson had maligned the Democratic party, and had been quite-willing to see it disintegrate, the combination was effected. The contributed to 115 countries, of a total of 145, returned pluralities for Hoke Smith. He has promised to do all in his power to disfranchise the Afro-American voters. His electors will not forget that Clark Howell has pointed out that a proposed constitutional amendment, in 1890, enshrining an educational qualification clause, received three votes out of 175 in the lower house of the Legislature and that later a similar proposal was as badly beaten. Moreover, Mr. Watson also enshrined a two-thirds vote to acquire the constitutional amendment, the sentiment would not have sufficiently changed to permit it. But Hoke Smith has explicitly said that no white voter was to be disfranchised, and that is, of course, what was feared in the previous case. P1...

GOOD SAMARTANS HOLD 9TH ANNUAL CONVENTION Year's Receipt $10,550—Next Meeting at Cleveland. PHILADELPHIA, August 28. — The ratlost work failed to dampen the ardor of the delegates attending the fifty-ninth annual convention of the Independent Order of Good Samaritans and Daughters of Samarita, held in the Holy Trinity Baptist church. The time was taken up in riding of the minute, and the reports of various delegates were quite a contest between the delegates from Maryland, Connecticut, Georgia and Ohio as to the place of holding the next annual convention. After a spirited rallying of forces by the Ohio delegates, Cleveland was decided on as the next place of meeting, the date being fixed for August 23, 24 and 25, 1907. The secretary's report showed the receipts of the delegates to be 103,203 and disbursements to $230,000. The report was followed by the annual address of Grand Sire J. W. Thompson of Richmond, Va. It was lengthy and interesting. Resolutions were passed thanking the ways and means committee of Philadelphia Lodge for the excellent treatment recorded the delegates.

BUXTON, IA., August 24.—The Iowa Congregational Home Missionary Society has established an Afro-American Congregational church in this city with Abraham Lincoln Scholar Boud and a teacher and missioner. There are 5,000 Afro-American in Buxton, which has the largest Afro-American population of any city in Iowa. 1,000 MEN IN BUSINESS Chicago's Admirable Record Shown in Directory Versatile List of Jobs Shows Hustle and Enterprise in the Windy City Special Correspondence of Turn Ace CHICAGO, August 27—Mr. D. A. Bethea, a young Afro-American medical student of this city, has rendered the Afro-American people here a valuable service by publishing what he calls a "Blue Book." The title is borrowed from the real "Blue Book," which has a limited circulation among the real artistry of the city. No Afro-American or white person of the common class, can gain admission into this exclusive "Blue Book." Bethea's "Blue Book" is a very commendable piece of work. In this great big scattering community it has been quite impossible to secure accurate information as to what we are doing and where we are. This little directory of a hundred pages answers all of these questions and many others of considerable importance. Our first impression is that Chicago Afro-Americans are an enterprising and progressive lot of people. For example, from this book that there are one thousand Afro-American people engaged in fifty or more different occupations and professions requiring skill and training. Some of the statistics are very interesting. There are thirty-five churches of different denominations, eight barber shops, eight builders and contractors, thirty-five chiropodists, thirty cigar stores, one hundred and ten express and twenty-five restaurants, eight steam laundries, twelve dentists, seventy-five dressmakers, three druggists, thirty-five lawyers, one ice cream manufacturer, two razor strop factories, thirty-seven music teachers, thirty milliners, two oculists and opticians, thirty painters and decorators, forty physicians, thirty stenogramakers, five upholsterers, one chewing gum factory, one news stand, one music store, ten tailors, five haberdashers, one dry goods store, one shoe polish manufacturer, five newspapers, five locksmiths, several electricians, plumbers, caterers and metal polishers, one secret insurance company, secret societies almost without number, five real estate offices and four hundred and women. Twelve hundred and custom house inspectors, drawing salaries from $45 to $175 per month. In the city and county offices there are about 75 employees who are variously serving as attorneys, physicians, milk and health inspectors, smoke and factory inspectors, bridge tenders, clerks and teachers. This list does not include an Afro-American fire company, policemen and detectives, and one desk sergeant. It can be truthfully said that this list of workers in the trades, the professions and in politics is being added to almost weekly. In thus scanning over this little directory, one cannot resist the impression, that the Afro-American in the second largest city on the continent is a hunter, in a way that is greatly to his advantage, in a way crushing the limitations set in the way of progress. The future is full of hope for this kind of progressive, pushing and daring Afro-American. Very few people living right here in Chicago had an idea of the large number of different things, requiring honesty, intelligence, skill and aptitude, which our people are doing and trying to do every day. In a few years it is safe to predict, that these small shops, stores and factories will have so increased and enlarged their business needs that thousands of their women, boys and girls, will find the women, boys and girls, will find the men, men, that will not only pay good salaries but will demand a skill, dignity and efficiency that will in turn lift the entire race to a standard that will command respect of all who see them.

ABRHILLEL August 24. — A white gentleman from Marion, who is conversant with conditions on the works of the 'South & Western Railroad declared from personal knowledge that the Italian laborers are a hard lot to handle and that the Italian laborers do harm by the foreigners utter disregard of their obligations and promises. It is said that the railroad, in order to secure all the men possible to work on the construction of the road, advances money for the railroad fare and other necessaries and that the Italians, who are, by no means ignorant of the laws, after working a few days, skip out or refuse to work and the company must beir the loss, the great loss. The Italian men, even on fair days for the Italians even on fair days to refuse to leave their camps and go to work and that often, after working a few hours during a day, bunches of them will lay down their picks and shovels and sit around idling and smoking cigarettes, refusing to work. They are totally irresponsible. CHICAGO AND INDIANAPOLIS VIE FOR PYTHIAN TEMPLE SITE Each Wants $100,000 Building, and Blows Completeness to Get It. Cincinnati, August 27—An interesting and unique context is now going on between two western cities for the location of the $100,000 Pythian Temple to be erected by the Supreme body of the Afro-American Knights of Pythias. The Pythians now claim a membership of 1,000,000, and they have reached a point in their financial accumulation at which National headquarters in a monumental building has become a necessary. The Pythians it was determined to carry out the long-cherished project, and a high commission consulting of seven supreme and ex-supreme officers was appointed to determine upon the proper location for their temple. The following persons comprise the membership of the Commission: C. K. Robinson, St. Louis, S. K. R. and W. J. Wood, St. Louis, W. J. John W. Wood,ther, Grenville, M. W. A. W. Lloyd, St. Louis, M.; W. M. J. Reed, Indianapolis, Tnd.; Dr. J. W. Wade, Hot Springs Ark.; and C. D. Wreless, Maca, Ga. The only two cities competing for this prize of location are Chicago and Indianapolis. Each of the cities competing is required to pay all the expenses, railroad fare and a per diem compensation to each member of the commission. The commissioner of each city will be visited and the commissioners were wined and dined and treated in a manner most royal. They were taken upon a high bill and told that all they saw was theirs, if they would but say to that fair city, "Thou art mine." Chicago saw and heard all this apparently without fear, for it immediately and promised to make it like the city of Chicago and a free lunch. With a true "I will" spirit, Chicago people around themselves and raised about $1,400 for the entertainment of the commissioners. Automobile rides, public reception, hangouts, cool and crystal lake water inside and out, introductions to the mayor and city aldermen, are a few of the compliments received by the Temple await their decision. When the commissioners leave Chicago they must certainly be convinced beyond all shadow of a doubt that Chicago and Lake Michigan were especially created at the dawn of time for a Pythian Temple. The proposed building is to be a shining example of what can be done by large organization working in harmony. The funds for the erection of this Temple have been raised by an annual assessment of 20 cents on each member of the order.

Parsons Candidate Saw the Handwriting on the Wall Odell Candidate Would Have Had Walkover Anyway—Rally Next Tuesday Herman Jovenshof, who was the Farms candidate for the Republican leadership of the 9th Assembly district, saw the handwriting on the wall last Tuesday, and announced his withdrawal from the hopeless fight he was making on Commissioner Windolph. The letter's victory would have been a walkover anyway. As motives for his withdrawal, Mr. Joveschof alleges poor health and business interests. He declares that another candidate will take his place and begin an aggressive campaign against the Oedil forces in the district; but the number of Joveschof, captains who have recently been released, is not unwilling to take. Joveschof is not unwilling to be Widolph win, and is transferring his machine to his opponent's support. An important factor in Mr. Win-dolph's triumph has been the unfinishing support given him by his Afro-American constituency. Of their loyalty he speaks with gratitude and satisfaction. The praise is primarily due, of course, to his leadership of the school where he shrewd and devoted; and after him to such stalwart and keen workers as S. D. Stewart, George Lee, L. A. Wineglass, Charley and James Turner, Earl Lightburn, the rising young attorney, Julius M. Watson, William T. Hooper, L. A. Fleming, Prof. Green, Frank F. Smalls, Vm. D. Washington, R. T. Smalls, and the powerful white supporters of Mr. Windolph is Hon. Michael H. Blake, who last year contented with Jovenhof the leadership of the old 15th, and who, by the manly way in which he treated the Afro-American voters in that content, has won much popularity among them. Another strong supporter of Mr. Windolph is Shea, whose courteous business treatment of Afro-Americans has made them like him all over the district. On last Monday night the campaign committee assembled an usual, with the usual enthusiasm unabated. The Afro-Americans made most of the speeches and were roundly applauded. Efficiency were Messas, Keith Watson, Lee, Stewart, Fleming, Turner, Richardson, Lightburn and the crudite Prof. Green. On Tuesday evening of next week comes the big Afro-American rally of the district, which was attended by dozens, merely named in these columns, includes Commissioner Windolph, Mr. T. Thomas Fortune and Mr. R. L. Stokes. AFRO-AMERICANS HELP IN WINNING THE NORTHWEST Endure Snows and Blizzards as Well as Scandinavian. OHICA00, August 18—In the great States and Territories west of the Mississippi there are to be found many Afro-Americans who in unexpected places and in truly American they are in winning all kinds of success. Sometimes they are to be found in the great wheat regions of the Dakotas, holding fast to wheat farms ranging from 160 to 600 acres in size and enduring their curving in inheritance of Dakota blizzards rather than tropic suns. It is surprising to see how readily these men adapt themselves to the new and hard conditions necessary to the building up of fortunes. In many places they endure new winters, new winters, Swedes, Russians and other hard races that are seeking to get hold of the wheat belt in the great Northwest. Many of these Afro-Americans are from the South and their adaptability is one of the most important and hopeful things in the most recent day welcomed by the progressive Afro-American. Business shrewdness, endurance, faith in himself and ability to get along with his white neighbors, and a willingness to be applied to the sturdy men and women who are securing strength and wealth for the future. It would not be surprising to find not a few of the strong men of the South to be remote places successfully contributing to the building up of a strong race name. An interesting example of how some of these Afro-Americans get along in places where successful men of the race are not expected in the career of a man named Montgomery Bell, of New Mexico. His home is near Las Vegas. He is said to be worth at least $200,000. He was brought to the territory over 40 years ago by the Army. He is the most great stretches of territory in Mexico. Many years ago Mr Bell conceived the plan of buying up land that had been sold for taxes. He seemed to possess occult, knowledge of an approaching sale and it is seldom that any one gets the start of him in vigilance. Though Mr. Hell is now seven fifty-years of age, his vitality and powers of endurance seem undiminished. He is no afraid, of long hardship. If he is at a good sale, Your correspondent has been reliably informed that Afro-Americans in considerable numbers have in their firm grasp some of the richest holdings in the mining regions of the Southwest.

It depends upon such men as you as to what position your people are to occupy both in State and in society, to employ both Brooklyn use their rights honestly and intelligently they will get the full respect and treatment as other citizens. Mr. Edward E. Brock, exalted ruler of Brooklyn Lodge, responded to Congressman Waldo's address of welcome in fitting terms. He said among other things: "We have gathered here in this convention-to-day for the purpose of carrying out the principles of the Grand Lodge as mapped out at the last grand session held in Washington, D. C., a year ago; believing ourselves, then to be in the right, let us proceed with dignity and without fear." Mr. Brock was followed by Lawyer William Holmes, delegate from Iron City Lodge No. 17, Pittsburgh, Pa., who delivered the greetings of his lodge in a forceful speech. When the name of E. Button Ceruti, chairman of the legislative committee, was called Summer hall rang with applause. Mr. Ceruti spoke in behalf of the work done by the committee which led in the appeal from Czar Howard which made it possible for the Grand Lodge session to be held in Brooklyn under auspicious circumstances and in full compliance with the decision of the delegates to the Washington meeting. He was cheered to the echo. Greetings from Manhattan Lodge were then delivered by the Exalted ruler that lodge. Mr. Sandy P. Jones. acting Grand Exalted Ruler Bates arose to make his ad- tence so great that he would for several minutes. say, "Bates! Bates! Ruler! Bates!" Mr. Bates said: and Lodge exalted GEORGE B. BATES. Rulers, Leading and Loyal Knights. I am only here for one purpose, and that purpose is to defend the constitution and see that the principles of our order are carried out to the letter of the law. I see before me men of various professions who have come up through difficulties and have achieved success through honesty and integrity. I have no fear to revenge nor friends to reward. We represent here to-day one hundred lodges with an aggregate membership of 12,000 men—American citizens, too, if you please. The attempt has been made, sirs, in the face of these 12,000 men, to usurp the authority of the Grand Lodge and dash to pieces the wishes of its members —the bone and sinew of its existence—by one man. Our leader has not proved himself to be a man of courage and he does not possess the qualities necessary to make up a forceful and progressive leader. We are in a great organization like ours. We are here in obedience to your will and shall endeavor to live up to your mandates. The part of Grand Exalted Ruler Howard's proclamation which will inevitably split the Grand Lodge and which is the direct cause of the trouble now going the rounds of publicity reads as follows: "Wheread at the last session it was decided that the next Grand Lodge session should be held in Brooklyn, N.Y. in the month of August, 1901, I. as the Grand Exalted Ruler, have found it wise and beneficial to more said Grand Lodge to the city of Columbus, Ohio, on account of the law of the State of New York, prohibiting colored Elks from wearing pins and badges in said State. The bill passed is known as the Grattan Bill and was aimed at colored Elks." The above order was issued without consulting the various Bodges, hence the appeal of the Lodges from Mr. Howard's decision. The session adjourned late in the afternoon and went on a trolley ride to Luna Park, Coney Island, at night. Wednesday morning after the call of the roll and the reading and adopting of the minutes of the previous day, the committee on credentials made its report, after which the Grand Lodge Degree was given. This was followed by the appointment of Committees on Resolutions, Appeals, Grievances, Law and Revision, Printing and Finance. The annual taxes were then received. This being done, the Grand Lodge was declared open for the annual election of Grand officers. In the evening the Grand Lodge was the guest of Brooklyn Lodge No. 32 at their grand annual picnic at Atlantic Park and Casino. On Thursday morning the Convention will be called to order at 10 o'clock and the session will be devoted to unfinished business. At one o'clock all will be in readiness for the grand parade. The line of march will be through Lewis avenue from Fulton street, to Greene avenue, down Greene avenue to Bedford, to Willoughby avenue, down Willoughby avenue to Cumberland street, through to Myrtle avenue to the City Hall. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 1906. MORE AFRO-AMERICANS THAN WHITES ATTEND S. C. SCHOOLS Gonzales Gives Figures in Support of Compulsory Education. SPRINGFIELD, Mass., August 24.—In to-day's Republic appears the following letter from Editor Gonzales of The Columbia (S. C.) State: The question of compulsory education is second only to that of the state dispensary in the South Carolina campaign, which within 10 days will be settled in the primary elections. For several years The State newspaper has conducted a campaign in favor of legislation which will compel parents to send their children to school a certain number of months each year, but not until this summer has it been a campaign issue. Senator B. R. Tillman, in his whirlwind campaign of four weeks, shouldered his "pitchfork" against the measure, bitterly assailing it as a "rattlesnake," claiming that such a law would mean the education of the Negro, and, eventually, his domination in state affairs. These arguments have been refuted by school statistics, which show that already there are more Negro children attending school than there are whites. From figures just compiled by the State superintendent of education, it is shown that the attendance of Negro children in the public schools for the past 10 years has steadily increased over that of the whites, until in 1905 there were 19,801 more Negroes than whites in school. In view of the wide discussion now going on in regard to compulsory education, a table prepared by the State superintendent of education, showing the number of whites and blacks in school for, the past decade, is of much interest: Year. White. Colored. 1896 109,150 123,178 1897 110,027 130,150 1898 125,102 150,787 1899 123,398 160,875 1890 125,378 170,266 1901 127,230 157,976 1902 128,609 180,463 1903 124,320 144,280 1904 135,527 156,588 1905 141,301 161,272 In Chester county, for example, the records show that the Negro population is twice as large as the white population. The total number of Negroes in Chester's schools, last year was 4,301; the total number of whites was 2,180, showing that just as many Negro children per 1,000 Negro inhabitants were going to school as were white children per 1,000 white population. In the town of Chester, however, there were 842 Negroes as against 653 whites in the public schools, an excess of 180 Negroes, while in the rural schools of Chester there were 3,450 Negroes as against 1,527 whites, thus showing the Negroes doubled the whites by 406. That compulsory education is needed in South Carolina, one need only compare illiteracy in this state with some of the New England states. The combined population of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut is more than three times that of South Carolina, yet in this state there are six times as many native illiterate whites over 10 years of age as are in all three of these New England states, while there are more than four times as many illiterate native whites of voting age. In other words, the records show that there is a total of 54,177 illiterate native whites over 10 years of age, and 16,543 illiterate native whites of voting age. Meeting for Afro-American Council. A good meeting in behalf of the Afro-American Council was held last Thursday night at Mother Zion Lon' M. E. church. Attorney J. C. Ayler read a learned address covering the powers and violations of the War Amendments. A collection of $17.15 was taken up. "The man I marry," mild she, with a stamp, "must be a hero!" "He will be," remarked the cautious bachelor.—Christian Register. Assailing Prejudice Among Masses Is Striking at Its Roots and Foundation Mr. James L. Wallace, agent of the International Union of Pavers and Rammermen, is an Afro-American who believes ardently that the cause of the Afro-American people is wrapped up in the progress of union labor. As our masses are workingmen, says he, we must, as one means of salvation, establish intimate and sympathetic relations with our fellow-workmen in other races. By attacking prejudice in the unions, says Mr. Wallace, we are attacking that monstrous growth at its very roots and foundation. To an Aux reporter Mr. Wallace spoke at length: "Since I have been brought in touch with so many prominent men of both races who seem to be engaged in uplifting the Negro race, and as each seems to have a different idea to express, it seems that I am called upon to say something on a question which most of our well wishers seem to overlook or ignore. Years of experience have impressed upon my mind that a mutual understanding between the white and Negro men whom you may call the laborers and mechanics, or the common people, would have a good and wholesome effect upon both races. Among the men who are organized in New York and vicinity and among union men as a whole the motto is: 'Equal rights to all.' The conditions of labor and the equal rights extended to all by the labor unions appear more thoroughly to stamp out this so-called Negro problem than anything else. "There are in New York many unions, viz. plasterers, carpenters, printers, testers, pavers, engineers, drillers, longshoremen, cigarmakers, etc., and I find in no instance that a Negro has committed any breach of etiquette. These unions have a large Negro membership, and they are treated as men. This affiliation to my mind is the one reason for the friendly relations that exist in certain sections. If some of our race sympathizers would seek the support of labor organizers and help to obtain union conditions along the middle west side, race riots would be a thing of the past. Organized capital has been the cause of labor being resuscitated, and he who advances the capitalist ideas cannot be looked upon as a friend of labor. The Negro laborer and the Negro as a rule advance the capitalist ideas, but they patronize and support their worst enemies. "How many Negroes wear clothes, hats, or shoes that are made under fair conditions? How many smoke union-made cigars or tobacco; how many buy union-made bread or patronize a union grocery store? When they go into a saloon do they look for the union bartender; when they look for the ailed printing trades they print circulars for balls, etc., do stamp? At their entertainments do they employ union music and waiters? I regret to see the Negro indifferent as a whole to any of the above conditions, but still he asks the sympathy and the support of the public; he weeps and waits about the bad conditions, but supports the men and methods that create them. "No man who has the interest of the working man at heart can condemn the unionist. When Negroes begin to wear union clothes and demand union products, and insist upon being waited upon by union help, such as bartenders, butchers, clerks, etc., a new era will open for them. When the millions of poor working people recognize that the interest of one poor man is the concern of all, and that a blow struck at the Negro's progress affects the entire working class; when they agree to stand for one object, and let that object be better conditions, racial troubles will be reduced to the minimum. In the paving industry Negroes, Italians and other, nationalities are in an International union with a Negro Third Vice-President, myself, in New York. And a Negro Fifth Vice-President in Chicago, Mr. Theodore Payne. Wages are now unprecedented for the Negro—$4.93 per day of 8 hours. Engineers, plasterers and all men who have joined mutually in unions are getting good wages, but still non-union advocates menace the interest of all." LAYS CORNERSTONE OF NEW INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL Birmingham the Site—Grounds Donated by Whiten. BIRMINGHAM, Ala. August 24.—Rev. J. K. Comfort, the Afro-American minister who for some time has been working for the establishment of an industrial school for Afro-American boys and girls in this vicinity, has so far succeeded with his plans that he announces the laying of the corner stone of the main building to take place on August 27. The Afro-American Masonic bodies of this part of the State will have charge of the cornerstone laying. This main building will be two stories high. 60x38 feet in dimensions. The location is just south of this city where grounds were donated by white citizens. The home will be furnished and ready for use by October 1. PARREL "CAN BUY NIGGER VOTE AT $1 PER HEAD" This His Outrageous Insult to Afro-American Voters. Candidate Farrell of the 13th Assembly district, according to six men who are willing to make affidavits to that effect, recently declaimed that he "could buy every Nigger vote in the district for $1 a head." The men who will swear, that he said so are John Nelson, Isaac Mitchell, 230 West 62d; George Holmes, 219 West 62d; Ben Brown, 229 West 62d; John Porter, 231 West 62d; and Samuel Jones, 235 West 62d. For statements like this, which is in keeping with the Gas House candidate's character and prejudice, the Afro-American voters will stand him on his head at the primaries on September 18. Edward V.

Franklin Bell, Chief of Staff, left last night for Oyster Bay to confer with President Reeveselt regarding the raid by Afro-American troops at Brownsville, Tunnel. Everything possible is being done by the Government to bring to justice the soldiers implicated. If they can be identified, they will be turned over to civil authorities of Texas to be tried in court. It is a foregone conclusion impatient to result would be death to the The National Government will give the state what assistance it can in the way of evidence. This course was made clear when the commanding officer at Fort Brown invited the citizens of Brownville to co-operate in making the investigation. Major Blockson, of the Inspector-General's Department, to-day wires that the Citizens' Committee began their work this afternoon at post headquarters. Capt. Kelly, a prominent citizen District-Attorney Kielber, County Judge Bartlett, and District Judge Welch form the committee. Texas Members of Congress are protesting to the War Department against the abolition of Fort Brown. The abandement of Fort Brown is regarded as discrimination by the President against the South. One company of the Twenty-sixth Industry is ordered to Ft. Brown to take the place of the Afro-American troops. It is made up of white men. This shift about of troops was made subsequent to a report from Major C. W. Penrose who was at Ft. Brown and after the appeal by Senator Culberson to President Roosevelt. In his report Major Penrose says he was persuaded that the killing of one citizen in Brownsville and the wounding of another were the work of soldiers, although he has been unable as yet to discover the guilty men. Of the attitude of the citizens of Brownville toward the Afro-American soldiers, Major Penrose says: "That the disusted men have been subjected to In-titles since their arrival here there fumbe no doubt, and this has caused a mood deal of feeling among them. The code case to which I attribute this our pik I will make the subject of an But al report as soon as John W. Vann, Collector of Customs, returns to the Unit: their for Penrose then outlines briefly the in question. Privates Newton and Burch were passing along a walk on S. There some women are standing behind Tate, withaded Tate, who is employed in the customs office. The Afro-American privates had single file between the women a fence. Tate knocked Newton down in the hull of a revolver and is re-retorted to have said: "I'll learn you to get off the sidewalk when there is aarty of ladies on the walk." When Newton rose, Tate is said to have covered him with the revolver, commanding: "Damm you, leave, or I will now your brains out." This account of the affair is corroborated by hipcumb. Major Penrose sought an official investigation of the affair, but as the Collector of Customs, Mr. Vann, is out of the city, it has not been possible to have the affair looked into. On August 13 major Penrose says a Mr. Evans and sr. Combe, Mayor of Brownville, called a him. Mr. Evans said his wife was priced while entering her home by an assured Afro-American supposed to be a prow, as he wore a khaki uniform. Mrs. of afro was unable to identify the man, both she and her husband complained that the soldiers gathered near their home and annoyed them. That evening Major Penrose made an attempt to get all the soldiers into the reservation early. All but two men, who were out on asses, were gathered into the post, but shortly after midnight the engagement which resulted so disastrously took place and the whole garrison was awakened by fusillade. As soon as the shooting based and it seemed safe to make an investigation all but two soldiers answered all call and the rifles were all in place and showed no marks indicated that they had been fired. Cartridges and shells be at Government arsenals were found or where the shooting took place, and gor Peurose expresses the opinion that be or nine soldiers who had keys to the preracks got their weapons, slipped out blarck post and engaged in the battle with tanks and managed to clean their guns, once them in the racks and regain places in the harracks during the sitement which prevailed in the post.

JOHN L. PICKS GANS TO WALLOP BAT NELSON Odds on Gans Now 10 to 7—Ticket Salon $25,000. BUFFALO, August 28—John L. Sullivan says if he had some of John D. Rockefeller's wealth he would bet a million that Joe Gans will wallop Hattling Nelson into insensibility in six rounds. "Gans ought to come home on the bit," says the once mighty John L. "I never liked a Negro as a fighting man, and to be perfectly frank I'd rather see Nelson win, but I don't think he can. Gans is the greatest lightweight the ring ever saw. He could lick them all in their best day. Gans is easily the fastest and cleverest man of his weight in the world. He can hit like a mule kicking, with either hand. "He is there with the coolness and ring generalship, and I think he has it on Bat this time. Gans's record is shady, like himself. Against my sentiments I pick Gans in six rounds by a knockout, but I hope the other fellow wins." GOLDFIELD, Nevada, August 27.—Nelson trained at his quarters for an ammittance fee, of fifty cents a head, for the greater part of the day, the money to be turned over to the local firemen to purchase house for the department. He is even lighter than Gans and neither will do hard work from now on, just limbering up and keeping their wind. The arena will be completed Thursday and contains 200,000 feet of lumber and may be enclosed and used as a permanent fight feast home, so satisfactory does it prove. A ball was given there last night. Twenty-five thousand dollars in cash had been received for tickets and $8,000 work money in addition was the sale sale recorded last night. Several bots made there, mostly Gans on long end of 10 to 7. Nolan says the price should be 2 to 1. Gans favorite, as he is champion welterweight and will scale more than the Dane at ringside. One bet of $3,300 even money was made late last evening. LYNCHED BECAUSE HE TRIED TO BREAK INTO A HOUSE South Carolina's Third Mob-Murder in Ten Days. COLUMBIA, S. C., August 23.—A mob of forty men overpowered Sheriff Limehouse at St. George, an Afro-American of Dochester county, to-day, and took Willie Spain from the jail and shot him to death. Spain attempted to enter the home of S. L. Connor, manager of the Dochester Lumber Company's stores. There was no one in the house except the eleven-year-old daughter of Connor, whose screams and a passing buggy frightened the man away. Another Afro-American reported the matter to Connor, who started at once for his home. Going through a canopy into which Spain had fled Connor encountered him, who showed fight. Connor struck Spain, breaking his hand. Seeing that he could not capture him, Connor called on his neighbors. A search was begun, and Spain was soon behind the bars. Shortly afterward a mob went to the jail and demanded admission of the Sheriff. Spain was taken back to the house, where the little girl identified him as the one who tried to climb through a window. Removing him to a nearby oak, he was strung up to a limb and 500 bullets were fired into his body. The attack was reported to ward, but before taking action the lynching was over. This is the third lynching in South Carolina in ten days. BOARDING and LODGING Meals Served Three Times a Day. Diaper 25 Cents. R. H. De Sayles, Manager Give Us a Trial.

R. W. Thompson in the Freeman. The Afro-American Council is booming. Bishop Walters' call to "Organize" is being responded to with vigor that is as astonishing as it is gratifying. A greater degree of enthusiasm is being manifested now than at any other period in the history of the protective movement. The steps to be taken to test the disastralling constitutions of the South are endorsed by the race all over the country, and Corresponding Secretary Jordan is chasing no rainbows when he expresses confidence in his ability to raise $1,000 by the opening of the meeting in New York on the 9th day of October. The legal department of the Council is an able one, and embraces some of the country's best-known lawyers, but the organization would score "big" if it could secure the services of the Ion. Joseph H.

General Quentin Bandera, the veteran of three wars with Spain to free Cuba, was cut to pieces last week by a small force of Cuban Eural Guardes. General Bandera, who are seeking to overthrow the Palma government, which, it appears, has failed to measure up to the requirements and the expectations of Cuban patriots like General Bandera who have been fighting for Cuban independence for thirty and more years. --- The grand old man was disappointed in his expectations of honorable provision by the Cuban Republic and with the general policy of the Palma government, and joined the movement to overthrow it. It is said that General Bandera was in no wise fitted for the work of government in times of peace, but that is not a common weakness of soldiers; it is, however, no excuse for a government that it cannot find an honorable living for those of its citizens who have spent their lives in the service of the country when the highest patriotism was needed. It is said that the Cuban government was particularly anxious to be rid of General Bandera in the present revolution, and its soldiers therefore came upon the old veteran in an unguarded moment, and forgetful of the great services he had rendered to Cuba cut him to pieces with machetes. General Bandera was a pure African. He had been fighting for Cuba since he was twelve years of age. He was a born fighter. He came to be known among the leaders along with Maxime Gomes and Antonio Macco, and it had, perhaps, been better for the old war horse had he died, as Macco did, in the last death grapple with Spain. But as a soldier he deserves well of Cuba, and her historians of the future, we doubt not, will give him all that is his due as a great soldier and a patriot who sacrificed a long life of courage and energy that his dear Cuba might be free and independent. Over the grave of the heroic dead, mankind in all ages have not hesitated to "render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's." Poor Georgia Given Over to Hoke Smith. The long primary contest for Governor of Georgia in which four men were contestants, ended last week. Hoke Smith led all of the candidates. He represented the worst phases of Southern politics, and it is a distinct setback to have him triumph in the primaries, which is equivalent to an election at the polls. The Georgia contest has been closely watched by all of the people of the country who are interested in the progress of the Southern States and in a fair and just administration of the government as between the white and black citizens. Clark Howell, the National Committeeman for Georgia, and editor of The Atlanta Constitution, represented a policy on the race question of leaving well enough alone, while Hoke Smith stood flat-footedly for the disfranchisement of the Afro-American citizens. He may be able to carry out his program, but there is a great conservative force in Georgia, which has heretofore killed radical measures in the legislature and it may be that Governor Hoke Smith may have some disappointments in store. We shall see. Hoke Smith has not deserved the victory which has come his way. Southern Opinion on Congressional Reduction. There are some things written in the books, some in the minds of men, and in the stars. People of ordinary intelligence frequently overlook the things written in the books and in the minds of men and read and govern themselves only by the things written in the stars. People supererogatory to say that these people are dreamers who ignore history and the philosophy which govern in the affairs of men, and are always butting against stone walls that do often "a prison make." When we say that the Afro-American people have more amateur statement to the square inch, ready at a moment's notice to solve the most intricate problems of ethnology and civil and political science than the Irish race, we touch that sore spot in the life of the race which has made its freedom and citizenship not only a disappointment and failure, but an aggravation of the flesh and the intellectuals. They who dream out the affairs of life and shape their conduct by that are always worsened in the practical affairs of mankind, for it is the practical, the thing possible to be done, and not the idealistic, the thing probable to be done, which always in the shape of human history to a definite point. The people who control the policy of the Niagara Movement have staked their best thought and effort on the accomplishment of the proposition to have the Congress reduce Southern representation as a sufficient punishment for the disfranchisement laws adopted and enforced by a majority of the Southern States. They Stigmatize, ignores, or outcast understand that when unto the Congress had functioned the right of the Southern States to disfranchise a portion of their citizens under one section of the Fourteenth Amendment, the same right can be exercised by the States of the North and West. The presumption that the Southern States would restore the suffrage by being penalized in the reduction of some thirty members of Congress is not out by the facts, an expended by the leading white men of the Southern States. They are on record as declaring that the Southern States would suffer the penalty of reduction rather than restore equality of the suffrage, and we believe them. They currently desire to eliminate the Afro-American as a voter, and they are ready to sacrifice thirty-odd members of Congress to do it. We are not willing to accommodate them in their desire. We believe we have a sufficient remedy in the Federal Court, if we will present the case in the proper way, and if we fail there, it is the policy of wisdom to labor and to wait, leaving matters as they are. Time and education will make "ancient wrongs uncount." It is better in that case to rest our case on the Fifteenth rather than the Fourteenth Amendment. Our rights of citizenship should not be further muddled by action of Congress, based on the Fourteenth Amendment, when we have ample provision for finally making that citizenship effective under the provision of the Fifteenth Amendment. In another column of THE AOE day to day we reproduce from The Wimmington (N. C.) Morning Star, an informing article on this question which should induce sober reflection of all of our men. We should not be ignorant of white Southern opinion in this matter; we should know it, and instead of rushing madly to give it what it wants by sympathy and encouragement and action of ours, we should rather reflect if it is wise to give the enemy what he wants. Samson sought to punish his enemies by pulling down the temple, and he, did, but he punished himself at the same time. Those who favor the proposition to penalise the Southern States by the reduction of Southern representation in the Congress, as a sufficient remedy for what Afro-Americans suffer under the disfranchising laws of the Southern States, are striving to do the Samson act, but with the chances of fetching the whole temple down upon the suffrage rights of the Afro-American people and a very small part of it down upon the white Philistines of the. South—who know what they want and fight for it. Dr. Ward Wants Us to Get Together We are bound to listen when Dr. William Hayes Ward of The Independent, says things, because he has a wise head and a generous heart, which beats in the right place all of the time. If there is a white man in the United States who wishes the Afro-American well in all of the relations of life, Dr. William Hayes Ward is the man. Very well. In the last issue of The Independent we find the following: We do not care to take any part in the rivalry of the two sections for control of public sentiment among the educated Negroes of this country. With every word of the principles enunciated at the meeting held last week at Harper's Ferry we agree. They speak for the "Nigraa movement" as led by Professor DuBois, and they ask with no compromise for all equal social rights. The other wing is led by Dr. Booker Washington, and is devoted to manual education and the acquisition of land and wealth as the equivalent means of racial betterment. For their teaching there is also room, and it has a pleasant place in both factions. If we may call them such, much real principle involved and much personal interest and ambition. We heartily wish they could come together, as they agreed to do at their meeting in Carnegie Hall two or three years ago. This statement of the case is highly confusing and misleading. Dr. DuBois stands for nothing that Dr. Washington has not stood for, along with the editor of Trie. Aug. for the past ten years, but Dr. Washington stands for a great deal more. While asking no compromise of social-and political rights he also demands high efficiency in the education of the head and the hand. He is no dreamer. He known very well that the assertion of abstract right without the character and the cash to make the demand effective amounts to so much huncombe, which the world laughs at. He is on record as claiming all of the civil and political rights which the Afro-American people are entitled to under the Federal Constitution; he insists upon the highest education as the best qualification for the discharge of the industrial and commercial obligations of the citizen; he insists upon manhood in the man as the surest guaranty of the enjoyment of manhood rights. He reckons with the mass he has to deal with and not with an ideal mass; he deals with the mass as it is, and not as he would have it. Dr. DuBois is a dreamer, largely disposed to run to hysterics, and to demand things right in themselves, but which the massa he wishes to deal with are not ready to back up or to have and hold if they were granted, as has been amply demonstrated in the Reconstruction failure. Give the Afro-American people character, mental preparedness and a fair share of material independence and all else will be added unto them, but without these claims may be made until the maker is blue in the face, and the claims will be denied. It is the way of the world, as old as time, and as inexorable as the laws of the Media and Perdans. Men cannot be made by law and laws made for men will not be enjoyed if the men themselves are not competent to understand the laws or to compel respect of their right to enjoy them. De DuBois drew up the by-laws under which the Carnegie Hall meeting has since worked as a force, and he was made one of the working committee, but when he found that he could not dominate the committee he abruptly severed his con- meetion with it, and organized a machine of his own, adopting the principle of the Afro-American League, now the Council, with some trifles of his own which he calls "ideals," which is another term for imperfectional. If Dr. Durie, once gets into a harmony attitude he will have no trouble in doing so, but remembering his past branches of good faith he will have to give a bond to stick to the articles of agreement. We insist that all rights under the Constitution which belong to the Afro-American people should be given to them; but we know that they will not be given to them until they back up the insistence with something more substantial than idealistic hot air. Social Equality and Civil Rights. Societal Equity and Civil Rights There are very few Afro-Americans who understand the difference between civil rights and social privileges. They think the two are one and indivisible, when they are as separate as they possibly can be. Civil rights are covered by the common and the statute law and are common to all of the people mainly because they are public rights based upon a contract. When a man buys a thing which any other person can buy it is a common right. All places of amusement and accommodation are of this character, and so are all public service corporations, such as railroads, steamboats, hotels, and the like. Efforts to give such a social character is an American subterfuge, intended solely to victimize Afro-American people. That is the long and the short of it. Social privileges are such as are not public in any sense, but depend upon the individual as to whether he will extend them or not. A social privilege has no public right at all. Bishop C. H. Phillips and his wife were to get out of a Pullman sleeping car in Texas last week. The good bishop was very indignant and said that while he did not believe in social equality he thought that he had been treated very unfairly. What does Bishop Phillips know about social equality? And what had his right to ride in a Pullman car to do with social equality? It is a civil right to do that for which he had to pay a stipulated price to a corporation with a charter under the laws of the State of Illinois, we believe, and not subject in transit to the laws of Texas. Why does Bishop Phillips want to mix up matters about which he appears to be gloriously ignorant? And there are others. He paid for his sleeper; was an inter-state passenger, and he was not subject at all under; the circumstances to the laws of Texas separating the races in Texas, for the laws of the United States are above State laws in cases of that kind. The black man who says that he does not want social equality with the people of equal standing with himself as a man and a citizen whether they be black or white, simply does not know what he wants; and the black man who does not know the difference between social privileges and civil rights should keep his mouth shut tight about the matter when he gets at a point where he does not know whether he is going or coming. The Troopers in Texas. We are watching with a great deal of interest the conflict which has arisen over the removal of the Twenty-fifth United States Infantry from Texas as the result of a serious clash between some soldiers and citizens of Brownsville, in which one man got killed and several got wounded. Affairs of this kind between citizens and soldiers are not uncommon at points where soldiers are stationed, but the authorities in Texas have made a point of it that because the soldiers in the present instance are Afro-American they shall be removed from Texas as a regiment and that those implicated in the Brownsvilleair shall remain in Texas and undergo trial by the State courts. That is regular enough, if any sort of restraint could be relied upon by the white inhabitants or any justice in such a case the got out of the courts of Texas. The most that can be expected is that the Federal Government will look out that the soldiers shall have a fair trial, and that if any funny business is attempted by the State courts a proper appeal shall be had to the Federal courts. It is highly probable that it will be found upon a sifting of the evidence that the soldiers acted on the defensive. It is not at all probable that they would have shot up the town without extreme provocation. On the strength of an order issued by the President that the Twenty-fifth Infantry shall not be removed from Texas and that the soldiers implicated in the Brownsville affair shall not be removed from the jurisdiction of Texas, Mr. Fortune sent the President the following telegram last Sunday: "Appreciate your order to retain Afro-American troops in Texas. Criminal soldiers should be published by law, but actual troops should be maintained in any part of the Republic where the wisdom of the Commander-In-Chief orders them. We have faith that you will see that the scales of justice are held equally balanced, regardless of the clamor of the place affected." That is the way we feel about it. There is no reason why Federal troops should be kept out of Texas, or any other Southern State, simply because they are Afro-Americans and the local sentiment objects to them. The local sentiment has nothing to do with the matter and if it butts in, the soldiers give the soldiers a free hand to protect themselves. The insolence of Southern communities in this matter of black troops should not be countermeant for a moment by the President or the War Department. The troops of the Government should be allowed to remain and should be protected in the posts to which they are assigned by the War Department. The attitude of The New York Sun in this matter is highly unpatriotic. The insolence of the South has no limit. The only way to deal with it is remediated to smash it on the head. Black men have some rights in this matter as well as white men, and the rights of both should be protected. Let the black troops remain in Tampa, and let those who are implicated in the Brownville affair have a trial of the issues and bide by the law and the evidence in their case. There is no statement of the Afro-American's case in equity in the Harper's Murray shooting of the Nigra Movement, pretended in Tau Acm last week, which has not been stated annually by the National Afro-American League and the National Afro-American Council since 1880, and which will not be stated by the National Afro-American Council at its annual meeting in New York in October next. The Nigra Movement people have segregated themselves from the Council on personal grounds only* in the hope to hamper the work of Booker T. Washington, who stands for everything announced in the Nigra Movement address, and a great deal move. We still insist upon it, that the Nigra Movement people are an aggregation of sorghes and that personal opposition to Booker T. Washington is the basis of all of their thought and activity. The dear, illusive Moon has set, snuffed out because there was no graft coming to its frantic appeal to keep it shaking; but the editor, Dr. W. E. Burghardt DuBols (too much name, dear) is still stationary in his orbit, darkened somewhat by the obscuration of the clouds about him. --- The Ethiopian movement in South Africa is being used by the British authorities to harass and repress the natives unnecessarily, but the chickens will come home to roost. The spirit of the natives in question, we believe, cannot be repressed. The seed has been sown and is bound to come to the fruition. The white man will dominate in Africa until the black man develops his head and heart to the point of knowing what his rights are, and how to get them at the muscle of the gun, and then the white man will cause to dominate in Africa. How long will that be? It doesn't matter at all; that it will be matters everything. In the Niagara Movement Harper's Ferry convention address to the rest of mankind we find the following splendid sentiment, which we approve without reservation: "We claim for ourselves every single right that belongs to a free-born American, political, civil and social." Very good. The words, we understand, were written by Dr. DuBois. Now, The Aligata Independent is authority for the statement that neither Dr. DuBois, nor our good friend, Mr. J. Max Barber, the brilliant editor of The Voice of the Negro—both of whom reside in Atlanta at the registration office of Fulton County. We have doubted the statement because it is not conceivable that two such voluble and penal members of the Niagara Movement would hold so high the principle of voting and trample so low the example of voting. The Ack will print anything either of them may have to say on this question based on fact and argument and not on assumption and personal abuse. THE GOSPEL MUST BE WORK. Sure Way to Get Recognition In to Deserve It. From The Chicago Record Herald. The *Ningara Movement*, which has just been released, represents the endeavor of the idealists among the Negroes of this country to secure for themselves an absolute equality, socially and every other way, with the white people, and ultimately to secure their own absorption in the white population. In the work of the Don Quixotes of the race. It is good that there are Negro idealists. It is good that these idealists respect themselves and insist upon their honorable standing among the citizens of this country. It is interesting to know, as one observer of the convention reports, that the participants in the Movement are not all men in whose white hair whispers, but instead "the African type predominates." One can even read the "address to the country" which the Movement has issued with much sympathy, despite its occasional violence of language. "We do not believe in violence, but we do believe in John Brown." The address reads. Emotionally one understands what the protestants mean and how they feel, for all that it is hard to credit them with the practical aims and in their goals of action. Neither the black face nor the white face can be obliterated in a day. As a nation we cannot become color blind in this respect, no matter how desirable such a change might possibly be. Men will not cease to be grouped rather by race and color than by personal worth just because a joad demand for the new standard is made. Nor will the intensity of the natural rights man help the coming of that day. Rather will it hinder it. The leaders of this movement among the Negroes have ground to self-respect solely on the basis of their individual achievements. They may not receive such recognition from white men as they feel that they deserve. But, nevertheless, the one sure way for them to proclaim their recognition is by continuing to deserve in even increasing degree. Their gospel must be the gospel of work. This is not merely true of Negroes in their relation to whites. It is true of all men in all relations. No man can force another to give him social recognition. No man is wise to demand it. If the leaders of the Nigraca Movement will be inward and not outward they will be forced. If they insist on appealing, not to Negroes but to white men, they can have little hope for success. GARNER ISNT TREASURER Xayu He Has Nothing to Do With Coming Clam Bake. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AOE: In looking over the advertisements in THE NEW YORK AOE of August 23, I find I am named as treasurer, for a Clam Bake to be given by a Republican at Paul's Slip, Woodside, L. I, on September 11. The only knowledge I have of it was the reading of it in your paper. I have not given any person authority to use my name in connection with the Clam Bake as I have nothing whatsoever to do with the arrangement of it and therefore I hope the public will not hold me responsible as treasurer for the Clam Bake. Please insert this in this week's issue of THE NEW YORK AOE as I do not wish the public to be misled. JAMES E. GARNER. New York City, August 27, 1908. From The Wilmington (N. C.) Star. *The Star* has had its say about the proposition of the Republican party to cut down Southern representations in Congress and in the Electoral College. We believe the Roosevelt crowd meant what it laid down in that plank in their National platform, and that they will make a big effort to carry it out. We believe that in doing so they will hurt difficulties to be found in the Constitution itself, and in decisions of the Supreme Court, in the United States If, however, Congress should not cut down representation, and it holds good before the Supreme Court, by the board of the prophet, the South will stand pat in submitting to any reduction rather than endanger its political and social conditions by detting down the bars to ignorant and corrupt suffrage. We will stand pat in self defense. The Norfolk Virgini-Pilot remarks that with the characteristic ability which marks its editors, The Baltimore Sun points out that the Southern States are by no means "solid" against the leading policies of the Republican party, but that what really unites the South is "an instinct of self defence" against interference with the local race question. Says The Sun: "To-day the South is the most American and most patriotic part of the Union. If the circumstances as respects the race question are peculiar, this is not its fault, but the result of historical causes over which it had no control. It desires only to be let alone to solve in peace the economical problems with which it is concerned. It desires to co-operate with the other States of the Union in public affairs, sharing the common life of the nation and participating with the rest in its benefits. At pressure South enjoys a large measure of material wealth. Its agriculture, mines, manufactures, numbering interests and railways are being rapidly developed. Capital is being generated locally and outside capital is pouring in. Movement, energy, progress and hopefulness—these are the characteristics of the situation that strike all who travel in Dixie at the present time. The Southern people are, in fact, absorbed in the industrial problems that confront them and do not wish to be diverted into the barren field of national politics. Time was when the Southern States were leaders in the field; but they no longer aspire to such leading, being content to occupy themselves with their local material. Interests. The statesman who applauded the red rain of the Reconstruction policy in the South that he wished to reduce the Southern to such a state of domestic wretchedness that they would no longer be interested in National politics succeeded in his purpose only too well. The losses of the Reconstruction era are not yet made good. Material well being is still the engrossing task." The Virginian Pilot goes on to say: "The Sun is undoubtedly correct. All that the South wants, needs or asks for is to be let alone to develop its marvelous resources and work out the economic problems with which it alone is concerned. It wishes to be left to solve the problem in its own peculiar way, believing that it imparts acquaintance with the Negro will enable it to solve the problem as the people of no other section of the country can, not having this acquaintance to aid them in the solution." The Norfolk Landmark adds this to the discussion; "Naturally, in view of the fact that the Republican National platform contends blak in favor of inquiry into the suffrage in the northern States, interest is newly arisen in the Cumpacker movement to reduce the representation of these States in the lower House of Congress." "Some political commentators, recalling that the President ignored this subject in all his campaign utterances are of opinion that nothing will be done. Others think that nothing can be done because of the confused condition of the Fodder being during the mutter. Still others, like the Fodder Transcript, (Rep.) strongly depresses a action along the Crumpacker line, holding that it would defens its own end. "The Transcript argues that if Congress reduces Southern representation on the ground that the ballot has been taken away from colored voters, this very legislation of Congress would recognize disfranchisement as an accomplished fact, and would leave the South free to make disfranchisement complete. The Washington Post (Ind.) expresses the opinion that the Fifteenth Amendment repeals and modifies the Fourteenth, and that the whole body of Southern franchise qualifications is a matter for the Courts to decide. At every test of the United States Supreme Court the suffrage provisions of the Southern States have been pronounced legal. "Thus, it is seen that the question is in a very tangled condition, and that the Crumpacker element, even when the Republican majority in Congress is overwhelming, will not easily accomplish its purpose. Another complication is the fact that Massachusetts and several other Republican States have suffrage qualifications which, while perhaps not operating to reduce the electorate very greatly, cannot be overlooked in any law such as the Crumpackerites would like to pass. So far as the South is concerned, it seems to us that there is no occasion to worry over the movement for the reduction of its representation. Even if successful, which is not very likely, the movement will not certainly hurt the South. We are just as hopelessly outnumbered in Congress as matters stand now as we should be if our representation was twenty or thirty Congressmen less. And the moment the reduction is affected, the doom of colored suffrage in this part of the country will have been sealed." New. It's the Chinese From South African Native Opinion. It is much to be regretted that outrages on white men and women by Chinese appear to be on the increase. Crimes of violence are not only a daily occurrence, but they are being multiplied. The remedy lies in the immediate repatriation of the Chinese and the adoption of a trustful policy in the natives. Effects of Home Owning. From The Huntsville (Ala.) Journal. A young man who recently purchased a home remarked to us that after a few days' experience "under his own vine and fig tree" he felt like a new man. Among the leaders and supporters of the movement are men of good standing. During the intervention the American authorities regarded Jose Miguel Gomes as the best man to serve as Civil Governor of Santa Clara province, and Dedricio Ovalle was chosen as Civil Governor of Santiago also by American authority. Senior Marshal was chief of the Rural Guard in Santa Clara province, under General Leonard Wood. Carlos Garcia also held an official position during the time of American control, as did a number of others connected with the present revolt. Others connected with the affair have represented their districts, the Cuban Senate or House, and others have served as mayors of their cities or in some other municipal offices. A right conception of the present situation in the islands is impossible unless their proper, weight is given to certain facts. Those who assert that the disturbance is "only another of Cuba's frequent revolutions" have not read Cuba's history. The island has not been a land of revolutions. In the last hundred years that have been not more than five disturbances to such a much term could be applied. It was wonderful if the affairs of 1823, 1828 and the affairs of 1851 can rightly be regarded revolutions. Since then there has been nothing except the Ten Years War (1863-1867) and the revolt of 1896, which ended in Cuban independence. During the Palma regime thus far there has been peace and progress. Toward both of those conditions those now in arms and those who are behind the hands in the field have contributed as well and as earnestly as have those who support Government to-day. Cuba's development been the work of the Cubans as a whole and not the result of the acts of one particular political organization. It appears to be clearly susceptible of proof that the party in power, the Moderate, is in fact the minority party. The revolt now on is in large part a protest against certain political acts of a Government charged with usurpation of political power. Whether or not it is in any way commendable, it is in part at least respected. No course is open to the Government except that of suppressing the revolt by the use of all the means in its control. How quickly it can do this, or whether it can do so at all, remains to be seen. AFRO-AMERICAN PHYSICIANS Their Importance as Examples of Self-Uplifting. Nearly 1,000 colored physicians in all the various fields of medicine are represented by the National Medical Association, now meeting in this city, its members represent hospitals in this city, Richmond, Charleston and other cities. Negro medical education at Howard University in Washington and in other institutions, training schools for nurses and the wide and hopeful beginnings of medical science for 10,000,000 of our population. This will surprise only those who are unaware of the extent to which the Negro, thrown back on himself by racial prescription, social ostracism and universal obstacles to his progress and the practice of the learned profession, is successfully creating his own world in successive professional and personal life. Where the Negro in Northern cities and the Southern States ceilled wholly twenty or twenty-five years on white physicians, they now have their own. This city has already a group of Negro physicians as highly educated, as carefully trained, as high in their professional ethics and as able as any of a similar practice in the community. In the South the Negro physician is receiving recognition achieved by no other number of his race. In many cities he is required to consult by white practitioners, and in Southern county the young Negro doctor comes from a Northern college, is the best equipped and best educated physician in the countryside. The Negro race in this country, in as much else, is placing himself in the forefront of the less advantaged races. Compared with their white fellow-citizens, the Negro population inevitably lacks at all points. It is in the rear. But if we turn to the general of white races the world over, outside of Japan, there is no one body of 10,000,000 human beings, no one who have so many college graduates, so many educated physicians, so large a share in civilized life or are making more progress than the general body of American Negroes. In the great area south of the United States and in all the tropics, the colored physician is certain to become the practitioner of the future. In the end it is hard to practically solve the problems of sanitation and the repression of disease in the tropics. Rightly considered, the colored physician is to-day the vanguard of science and medical practice in the millions of the colored races the world around, and the Medical Association now meeting in this city represents as no other can the manly and successful attempt of a race, which has innumerable odds against it, to demonstrate that, denied many, or opposed that, is still sufficient to itself, and can it be made to solve its own social, medical and sanitary problems by creating its own world of progress, research, education and medical practice. Jaw Fractured by a Derrick PHILADELPHIA. August 28. — While working on the new Wannaker building at 18th and Market street, Charles Wannaker, thirty-five years old, an Atro-American of 1891 Lombard street, was struck on the head by a heavy iron ball attached to a hoisting derrick. The blow fractured his jaw and he was taken to the Hahnemann Hospital where he died soon after being admitted. BLOCK CHRIST OF QUMBA Most Holy Image in the Benedictine To the Blesser of Two New York Asn: Appoin your excellent, excellent onl "The Ethnic Unity of the Races of the Orient," I would add that; the most scurred of the images in the chapels in Manila is the Black Christ of Qumba. As to the Nergites: When Dan Pedro A. Patoneo, the eminent scholar of Manila, as well as the enlightened chap- lemen, arranged for a grand peace jubilee and celebrated it with effect, the first which carried the ideal "Filipinas" was occupied by one young woman properly costumed for the occasion, and that woman was a cross between a Nergite and a straight-haired Filipino. I have seen in the province of Zambales whole communities more or less mixed of Ig- rarians, Nergites and other Filipinos. Them, Nergites and Tagalogues who have pretty little man in the institution; but between them in the province muse are many called Zambales, who are in part Nergites. I incline to the opinion that all these islands have been popped prominently from Asia and Africa, and probably at an early day were a part of the main. Population coming down from the north of Asia, and up from the south in Afrika may have bleached and otherwise intergrated and finally surged through the rates into the other islands. These islands may have come up from the south may have been broken off from the continent. The Negritos appear to have been in some places the first consort. F. G. STEWARDS Fort McIntosh, Tex., August 21, 1906. ETHNIC UNITY OF DARK RACES. Dr. Boddy Bohlingen Upon Our Second Notetaker. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE: The NEW YORK ACE is to be congratulated upon the profound and scholarly editorial which appeared on the home of the 16th, entitled "Ethnic Unity of the Dark Races." To this the sciences of prehistoric archeology and ethnology may amen. The points which the editor of THE ACE brought out cannot be challenged and indisputable facts. If the Chinese and Indians are not African origin they certainly have in them a very large infusion of African and therefore Negro blood. Early Chinese and Japanese state records and historians speak of the invasions into China and Japan of "black savages," and the like. They were warriors and adventurers. Owing to the close proximity of the Arabian peninsula to India, and India's bordering upon China, it would have been a very easy matter for the ancestors or Negro immigrants to have settled in China, even before or the expulsion of the Negro Shepard Kings from Egypt. The Cunlien who founded Babylon, were true Negroes. They exerted a wide influence in Southern Asia; and through their descendants the "Arabian Shepards," or the "Shepard Kings"—Negro Egypt in Africa, Palestine, Yemen in Arabia and all Oriental history. Similarity of religious rites, customs, and the remains uncarved by the archeologists, Schleman, Laird and others, warrant the conclusion that the prehistoric Negroes, either annihilated with all the Oriental races or were the founders of Oriental empires, and that the sons of Japheth then are now, believed in exogamous marriages. There were great international highways which reached from Africa into the Orient by way of Damascus and the southern route which skirted the southern shores of Arabic islands, extensive commerce was carried on Africa and the Orient by native Negro mariners whose Negro armies and immigrants are mentioned by the native Chinese and Japanese historians. There is an "Ethnic Unity of the Dark Races," to which the scholarly editor of THE AGE calls attention, and the primitive or parent stock of all the races the science of ethnology teaches us was black race. The variations which we need in Teuton, Saxon or Celt are physical and dull, physical and mechanical causes, which were briefly explained (as far as continental and English investigators have gone) by the writer in The Colored Amorious Magazine for July, 1905. The editor of THE AGE has done a good service in giving THE AGE readers a description of the Chinese gods. Upon this subject the comparative religion are silent, silent as the gods of these black African-looking Chinese gods. If it be true that the Chinese prophile the spirits of their ancestors, and these black African-looking gods represented the spirits of their ancestors, their ancestors must also have been black, or there must have been some resemblance between the present Chinese people and the primitive black race of prehistoric times. Troy, N. Y., August 20, 1905. THE HUMORIST. A Western Senator has a brother who is in the livestock business. The brother sent a letter to the stateman a few days ago that was entirely typewritten, even to the signer, a man named mad. He thought it an outrage for a brother to write like that, and not even sign the letter, and he sent a bitter protest. This was the reply he received: "Dear Jim--Cheer up.

Failure of Philippines Tariff Bill Enraged the Natives By Jasmina F. Fenneman. One of the old students, which are sometimes congratulated to whom and whom, has said that 'the shannon makes the heart grow leader. A second after a year spent in the university, she was a wholly university proved the lights of the Jersey campus, with withstultastic ardor one Sunday afternoon and evening. Early the next morning found them at anchor of Oceania, with the beautiful, shores of Boston Island in the background and a temperature cool and bracing. After undeveloping the keen acuity of the remarkable health official, the teacher, the far as the passengers from South America were concerned, the vessel moved up the harbor to her Brooklyn pier. Here the returning traveler was forciably convinced of his arrival home by the inquisitorial proceedings of the Customs Inspector. It was somewhat. amusing to hear the declarations of the old traveler, who admitted the possession of forty-one cigars, or less, but never over fifty, that being the limit allowable free of charge, being hampered by the possession of some twenty-eight pieces of bagage, had quite a prolonged session on the pier with the representatives of the surveyor of the port. For two mortal hours, on the hottest day of the season, up to that time, three inspectors, with the active aid of a cooper, opened and dug into the depth of the harbour with no障碍 effects, without discovering anything upon which a tariff might be lawfully imposed. Of course, the trunks were a simpler problem, as, after being unlocked, a simple turn of the wrist could revolutionise the contents in a manner that would give the owner an infinite amount of trouble to replace and close again. To do them justice, the inspector was forced to confound confusion as little as did the uncleack possessor of the bagage, but as one of them apologetically remarked, if they did not do their work thoroughly they might get into trouble themselves. Nevertheless, it was quite a contrast to the manner in which the Venetian authorities had performed the same operation. After some little demurring upon the quarrel, the bagger brought in an announcement that the perfume would have to be secured from the capital for its free admission, which seemingly was made to emphasise the magnitude of the favor, exemption from duty was granted a few minutes later. The whole proceeding, including a perfunctorial examination, did not occupy more than fifteen or twenty minutes and concluded with an exchange of cash. But the Customs courtesy is not one of the requirements of the civil service in the United States. The inspectors "seen their duty" and they "done it." When the Senate, in the late session of Congress, refused to grant some small measure of industrial relief and moral justice to the Philippines, the members responsible therefor were cooperating directly with the Filipino insurrection—the end another bloody uprising—though they were spinning their plot together under the same roof and both spitting betel nut at the same crack in a bamboo floor. For let one no one be imprisoned if the action of the no one be refusing to grant to the Philippine products should result in a recrussoce of armed insurrection in the Philippines. The terms of revolt are glowing; it little to fan them into flame. It was like a shap in the face to the native leaders, when last August Secretary Taft and party visited Manila, to be told by the Secretary that independence was not a matter of his previous utterances and been along the lines of expediency, that he had been "jollying" them while Governor, but that his latest utterances were official and final. Needless to say, there were muttered, false statements of the United States, and the popularity of the former Governor waned to the vanishing point. During the visit of the Congressional party to the islands the natives were given frequent assurance that they would be given relief from the industrial depression that covers the country blanket; they were the high tariff on sugar and tobacco the principal producer of the islands, would be removed, or at least materially reduced, and they would be given a market for their goods. Patriotically as may be they awaited the fulfilment of this promise, with what result we all know. They now feel bitter and their bitterness and anger are not directed toward the Sugar Trust or the Tobacco or the Words these are but entitle sounding words to the people with tangible reality the United States and the people and representatives of the United States. To the Filipino it is not a case of a handful of Senators or Representatives being owned by the two grasping trusts who managed to kill the bill that would have helped relieve their distress. It is not a case of a designation or pretended to protect those interests of constituents, who perhaps believed that the admission of Philippine sugar and tobacco might prove prejudicial to their interest. No! At the present time the Filipinos—the ones who do the thinking for their neighbors—feel that they have been swindled, that they have been treated in bad faith and that they have been involved in discussions of disinterested and intended philanthropy, are merely made for the purpose of blinding them while we pick the The. Illogical, isn't it? For the Lee idea, remain in the Philippines has been all it a glittering success. After the years of American occupation at time under civil government, American institutions is far more widely spread than tide of race feeling to and as bitter as when Beleased at last from the marshing prairie of the south, though sphagnum suffixes, the native soil set on his home pavements again and began to renov the dugging of trellis carv with undamaged activity, though somewhat hampered by a pair of seas, which require the addition of a raised road and street traffic in general was somewhat bewildering, but most of all, one was impressed by the immense hurry apparent in the growth in the streets, so unlike the lee by methods characteristic of Bri. american communities: The oppressive summer heat was another source of amusement and acute discomfort, to be brought not only to the streets, but year-round. Vera suela, although within twelve degrees of the Equator. This may easily be accounted for by the absence of haste and worry in the Southern countries, where clothes and dwellings are especially adapted to afford air and comfort, and where one seldom stirs forth in the heat of the day. New Yorkers have a great desire to turn in from the warmth against the torrid heat of our summers, and are greatly hampered in protecting themselves against that heat by the construction of the city, with its heat attracting and heat retaining piles of masonry and ironwork. New York has been placed by man in something like the same situation that La Guaira, counted one of the hottest places in Venezuela, has been placed by Nature. The latter is the most famous side of a mountain of rock, which absorbs the heat of the sun during the day and stores it up in order to keep the place hot at night. Defying the heat and setting at naught the wisdom gained of a year in Southern latitudes, the Native, hurried after the manner of New Yorkers, to the vicinity of Cedar street, which he found presenting the same time-stained exterior. Nor was it a mere display of decorated greatly, although there were missing some of the old faces that had been there a year ago. A visit to the office of The Colored American Magazine found the editor and promoter, Fred R. Moore, as strongous as ever, endearing to modify the methods of "Frenzled Finance" to the refining influences of cathetic wallpaper and a feminine office accent. The executive motor on a walk up Nassau street, we called at the office of the Internal Revenue Collector in the Tracer Society Building and found Collector Anderson at his desk as dignified and affable as an匀 master of himself and of all he surveyed. This call, as well as one I made in Brooklyn at the Municipal Building, led to a landing, at the head of a bureau of the city government, carried me back to Puerto Cabello, where high officials of similar complexion are frequently encountered. But little attention is paid Spain administered the affairs of the islands. In the course of Governor-General Ide's inaugural speech he declared that "peace conditions in the Philippines are now unprecedented," presumably meaning that never was unrest more unparent. Let us see how true this is. Let us see how eight years have caused the Filipinos to love Americans. Probably no more illuminating illustration can add to that. The government for provincial governors, which took place a few months ago. Between opposing candidates there was but one issue, and that issue was clearly drawn. It was between the Americans, as the friends of the present government are termed, and the more or less open and avowed enemies of the United States Government in the islands. The platform of these latter candidates was a model of brevity. It consisted of but one word—Independence. They declared themselves for independence, not for the oppression of the people, not for generation, not for "such times as when they had demonstrated their capacity for self-government," but for to-day. They wanted it immediately. Not a few of the candidates on the Anti-American ticket made no scruple to declare themselves in favor of another insurrection against the United States in case independence was not handed them forthright. Others, less bold, are known to have expressed the same ideals in private among their friends. And, of course, since the islands have become "pacified," since the Anti-American sentiment no longer exists, the Filipinis promptly disavowed such sentiments and deluged these Nationalist candidates beneath an avalanche of ballots. Hardly! The Anti-American or Nationalist party swept the islands like a prairie fire. The Insular Government took an active interior in the elections, but only after desperate efforts did they succeed. In electing a very few of their candidates. The sentiment of independence for the Philippines, of opposition to the constituted authorities and the plans of the United States in the islands, triumphed by an overwhelming majority. In some cases, perhaps, local issues won, and perhaps, as the Insular Government now claim, the voters only thought of the candidate himself, not of his platform or ideas. Grant that, and there were still some insular officials. The Insular candidate seemed to be immensely in the public record and yet was ignominiously defeated by the Anti-American candidate. The cry of "The Philippines for the Filipinos" seemed to overbalance the native sense of loyalty, which Mr. Taft and the insular officials declare exists. Twenty-nine provincial governors were candidates for reelection. Of this number ten were reelected, the majority of those ten being natives who had been rabidly outspoken against American and American administration. The remaining nineteen, who were other American-supporting natives, were affiliated of the government, were defeated by large majorities. It is with the wealthy and influential Filipinos, the gente ricco, that danger of another uprising like Thai's poo- to such variations of color in that country, us the population is largely mixed the Indian and African blood, the latter forming a most progressive element. Shortly after his return the Native had come to seek the services of a barber. He was informed by the veteran wielder of the roser and shearer that the South American operator who had attended to hishirute requirements had utterly failed to come up to the metropolitan style. This we can to compare with the barberin of the calle de Comercio, and it must be confessed that the latter did not possess the up-to-date equipment that marked the former establishment. Recalling the scene of his hair shortening operations during the year of his absence, the principal difference seemed to be in the barber chair, a high, wide, roomy, cane-wrapped skiff on very long legs. The barber was justting it to the sitter, the high back forming the only head rest. The cane seat was an improvement over the plush cushions encountered here, being cooler and more comfortable. The barber was skillful enough with the shearer and knew how to manipulate the clippers without removing any superfluous cuticles. Not requiring his services in shaving, I cannot speak of that branch of the art from personal experience, but others appeared to be more comfortable with cultivation. After the customer had climbed into the high chair referred to, he rested his feet on an iron rail running the length of the room, below the shelf or counter containing the implements of the artist. Of course, I was not bored by any garrulity on the part of the operator, first because he probably doubted ability to understand him, and secondly, ability to understand him, and secondly, taculum as he was deft and skillful. Still, at that, he did not equal my old friend on Myrtle avenue. Moving swiftly on a Pennsylvania Railroad train through the green fields and red clay roads of Jersey, passing pretty hamlets and smoky factory towna the hot breeze that blew through the car window on one of those terribly scorching days in July, reminded the Native on the dreaded caldera, as it is called in the Northwest, while the bright blues steadily for three days, according to the old inhabitants, and while it preyally everybody realizes the heat and consequently makes as little exertion as possible. But the breeze that blow in the car window seemed to dry up the perspiration on one's brow and really excved in intensity the caldera, or so the Native thought at the time. The weather be it warm or cool, so long as the perspiration flows freely, but any check to this provision of nature they regard as a danger signal. Lung troubles and fevers were the principal die- ple whose interests are concerned with tariff legislation, and who have waited as patiently as may be to see what action Congress would take to give them a market for their produce. During Spanish dominion they had Spain. That market has been closed to them, while the markets on the United States have not. Tariff is impossible to ship either sugar or tobacco at a profit to the United States. Industrial conditions in the islands now are almost inconceivably bad and have been for the past three years. The people however, have waited with what patience they could muster, buoyed up by promises made by Secretary Taft and the commission, that "something would be done" to stringling of what remained of Filipino loyalty and the anothering of the remnants of Filipino industrial ambition. The Filipinos understand clearly enough that their country is bankrupt, that it is necessary to import $13,000,000 worth of rice to feed the people of a rice-producing amphipago, that the wealth of the country is worth the wealth of taxation far heavier than it was during the worst days of Spanish rule, that the cholera has decimated the land, that rinderpest has killed the majority of their beasts of burden, that the country is filled with thousands of idle men and hungry women and children, that fields are plowed, that farms are taxed and that, worst of all, there is but small prospect of relief. Given conditions as they exist to-day, it would not be altogether strange if that limited number of Filipinos who do the thinking for the unthinking millions should decide that another insurrection would be the most expedient plan to bring their grievances, real and imagined, before the American people. They might possibly figure out that conditions could not be much worse, and they have strong hopes that there exists a party in the United States opposed to the rejection of Filipinos, and strong hopes to infuse Congress with them independence, which means to them an unlimited license to graft. Anti-Americanism is no widespread, as shown by the recent elections, that there would be small difficulty in organizing a revolt with which it would be extremely hard to deal. From a four years' residence in the islands, during which time I have met most of the more influential natives in Manila. I should have no hesitation in declaring that, given a "square deal" and several material changes in our Government in the islands, our government of the Philippines can be made a success. We have made our blunders—are still making them by wholesale—but we are learning, which in itself is an encouraging sign. We started of knowing everything; bitter experience has taught us that we may not a lot to learn. But we have done for the islands, unless we reacquired the moral obligations we hold toward the islands and their people, we need not be surprised to swain to find we have another insurrection on our hands. And should this calamity unfortunately come to pass, every drop of blood shed will be directly traceable to certain dignified, eminently respectable gentlemen down in Washington. one of a fatal chemical causing death in the town where I drowned a year, and government was told to be a common thing at Carruna. But not because or best obsession never figured in the mortality reports. King Not Only Rules but Owns It— By What Kind? Political Science has put to formulae concepts that adequately describe the Congo State, as it exists. The situation is, on the King says, "without precedent and unique." Here is a territory of 900,000 square miles in extent over which one man proclaims himself absolute and unrestricted monarch. In his recent statement to his secretaries, which is a fact a proclamation and a challenge to the world, he says: "This situation is without precedent and unique, I admit, as was the creation of the State. All the responsibilities, as all the liabilities of the foundation of a regular government by parvate initiative without any link with the contemptia, in the midst of an atmosphere where the creation of a State was looked upon as Belgium was good enough to be, certain extent with her money. But the task of constituting the new State was mine exclusively. The Congo, then, could only be, and has been, a personal enterprise. Now there is no more legitimate or respectable right than the right of the author to his own work, fruit of his labor. The Powers surrounded the body of the new State with their good will, but still called upon participants in our efforts to participate in our efforts to see any right of information, which nothing could justify. There is no special international law for the Congo. The Act of Berlin adopted a few general principles relating to the conventional Basin of the Congo. These principles apply in equal manner to all the States having permissions on the conventional Basin, and curtail, in so far as such were specified, some of their sovereign rights. These rights, some of their sovereign rights, proclaimed, because Belgium possesses none in the Congo apart from those which will come to her from me." Absolute power means in the Congo State not merely sovereignty; it means ownership. The King not only governs the Congo, but he exploits it. He is at once monarch and rubber merchant, and this absolute power which he possesses as monarch, he constantly uses to increase his profits as rubber merchant. For twenty years he has either waged war upon his敌人 and then the most cruel tyranny to increase his profits, of which the vast sum is an impenetrable State secret. It is misleading to compare Leopold's government with any other absolutism with which we are historically familiar. Such power as he claims was never before possessed and never before exercised by a single individual. Louis the Fourteenth, who said, "I am the State," was living in the country and among the peasants of the Congo and traditionali that bound his subjects to him bound him equally to them. The costly sundler of the court shed a reflected glory upon the people. Leopold of Belgium never saw the Congo. He and his government are as far removed from the internets and aspirations of the people he governs as he knew merely the evil genius of the country and the inhabitant of some distant star. The Czar of Russia is an autocrat, but he lives in Russia and his interests and those of his successors are bound up with those of the people he governs. The capital of the Congo is in Belgium and he exercise no control over the emperor of the Congo and his agents. There are abroad in Belgium to day men who openly boast of the crimes they have committed in the Congo. But these men cannot be tried in Belgium, though in some cases they have, as Belgians, demanded it. They cannot be tried in Belgium for the crimes they have committed because the Congo State, though it has its capital in Belgium, is still a foreign power. To assume that they could be held in Belgium would be fatal to the Congo "system" for this reason: these men, while not denying the crimes they committed in the Congo State, say that they were but obeying orders, merely follow orders in the Congo State and order orders of their superiors. If these men were tried in Belgium for crimes they committed in the Congo then the men more remotely responsible for these crimes and those who received the fruits of them might likewise be tried. Eventually the law would reach the King himself, since he is the ultimate source and the ultimate beneficiary of all the crimes he committed in the Congo for rubber. How did the King come into possession of this vast property of which he claims ownership in the Congo Basin? He says he acquired it by "peaceful conquest." But how is it that individual men are permitted to engage in a peaceful conquest of a territory so vast as the Congo State, involving interests so intractable, the most important of their own government of any other civilized authority? From whom does the King hold his title? He does not hold it from Belgium, of which State he is at once citizen and King. If.Leopold held his title to the Congo and exercised his authority as a king, he would be responsible to and restrained by Belgian laws and Belgium would be responsible to the world for his acts. Belgium has constantly disclaimed that responsibility. There is only one source from which Leopold has his title and authority in the Congo and that is from the International Society for the Promotion of his authority there and by whose consent he continues to maintain it. The situation is indeed unprecedented and "unique." It is absurd to assert that the United States or any of the other powers that recognized the "flag" of the International Association in 1883 and 1884 intended to confer upon any single individual absolute and unrestricted title and ownership in the territory and over the people of the Congo State. It is inconceivable that a State or a group of States, acting as an international "peaceful companion" in any part of the earth without making themselves ultimately responsible for that individual conduct there. And yet this is precisely the principle that Lappold has, in his recent manifesto, proclaimed to the world: and this proclamation is but the culmination of a long series of usurpations to which he now, by proclaiming the accomplished fact, seeks to gain a concession and give a合 blance of legality. The Congo is not an independent State in the sense in which Leopold governs. 1. Because its government is in form colonial. The seat of its government is in, and its ruler a citizen of, another State. 2. It is in foot and by its very nature a colony because it does not possess with it the power to govern itself in the presence of a State or a federation of States, but is dependent upon an external authority, enforced by alliances to hold it together and to maintain its existence. It is a wholly anomalous situation in political law when an individual citizen is permitted to hold and govern vast colonial possessions without the country of which he is a citizen sharing in the responsibly which such an exercise of power implies. As King Leopold define it the Congo State is a political monster and an international outlaw. MONUMENT FOR DUNBAR Brenice Tablet to Be Brought—Hate Asked to Assist To the Editor of THE New York ACE: Through The Outlook my attention has been called to a very noble proposition, the raising of a monument to the memory of the late Paul Laurence Dunbar. I has occurred, to me that there are scores of friends and admirers, who if this compes to their notice, will be glad to add their mite toward keeping alive the memory of one whose pathos and exertion have made him well known and beautifully, some of the raw virtues of his race. We should not be so easily lacking in pride as to allow his white audiences to outdo us in appreciation and recognition. The monument is, if I mistake not, to take the form of a simple bronze tablet upon which will be inscribed some famous lines of his. Contributions of not more than one pillow be to be sent to Dan Clark, 224 W. W. street, Cincinnati, Ohio. As W. D. Howells was the instrument through which the world came to know and appreciate his worth, is it asking too much that his own race should join hands in this simple memorial in bronze? Mr. work in this simple memorial in bronze? New York city, August 27, 1906. Southern Afro-American Advice Con- trol To the Editor of This New York Age: In the issue of your paper of August 15, you noted the fact that the object of the Constitution League is to have Some representation reduced. Now, as one the League is by a reduction, I big space in which to offer one or two reasons why I think the League should forge its object as to that matter. In the first place, such an act would not be the balance to a single colored man in the Senate. The Secretary, those who can now vote could not do so then. Besides that, if Congress should enact a franchise law of that sort, the Fifteenth Amendment would be virtually annulled, thus making it potential for the respective States to allow a franchise in line with a bill introduced by Representative Kitchen of North Carolina to repeal that Amendment outright. My belief is that Congress cannot pick out four or five States and pass a special franchise law for them that would not be applicable to every other State. In other words a franchise law passed by Congress must have a general application to all the States, or also the Supreme Court would declare it unconstitutional. The League has overlooked the fact that the colored man of the North is as important in the politics of the North as in the reduction as he is now, because the Republican party will not then need him as much as it does now. One of the main reasons why a certain element of politicians desires to reduce representation is to minimize the Negro vote as an important factor in the North. In asking Congress to set its official seal of approval upon the disfranchisement of the entire Negro race in the South, the League is utterly oblivious of the Golden Rule, or it has no sense of the application of that rule, which technicians do not obtain. You have them to do unto you. If the colored men of North Carolina should ask Congress to sanction the disfranchisement of all the Afro-Americans of New York would the League approve such an act of Congress? Why not? It is evident to me that the League has not been able to contain wrongs inflicted upon the race in the North; for instance: I have noted an account of a colored man going into a saloon in New York to get a drink of liquor, and being charged $2 for it, because he was a Negro. I suggest to the League to have the price of liquor in New York "reduced" so that the alcohol price may as cheap as the white man. We have no liquor in Wilmington, N.C., for 15 or 20 cents. In Washington, D. C., a number of colored men went into a saloon for drinks for which the man of the saloon charged them about three times as much as he would have charged white men. After they had drunk the liquor, and the saloon was full, they had every glass to pieces because Negroes had drank out of them. I have also noted the fact that in the State of Massachusetts no Afro-American can secure a license to open a hotel nor to sell liquor. We in North Carolina can secure license to do either. I have bought such license myself in Wilmington, N. C. I summon every member of the League to have these laws in effect, and have those bad laws "reholled" so that the colored man can do business as well as the white man. "But," says my brother of the North, "do you know that we have a free ballot?" Yes brother, but it is upon the taxi condition that no Afro-American be nominated in convention for an election. The must cast that free ballot for the white man. That is simply another species of disaffection. I say "elected." I was elected several times, myself: I was elected once as Treasurer of the County of New Hanover in which I lived. I refer all these matters to the League. J. O. Nixon, Wilmington, N. C. August 24, 1906. Good News From Alabama. From the Southern American Republican meetings are being held in several counties in Alabama. There is an awakening. Now is the time for the many able operators in Alabama, who expose the cause of, the Republican party, to go out among the people. This Company has on its principal object the better hearing of the Beggary Tentet Clan. As a result of its operation for a period of a little over a year, it can point to the control of Twenty (38) New York City Apartment Houses, valued at over Six Hundred and Ninety Thousand (800,000). Dollars, six (6) of this number the Company owns, and the other Sutton (14) are held by the Company under long lease. These bonds run for thirty-six thousand (300,000) Dollars a year. This bond will tend to indicate the great potentialities in the way of Dividends in stores for stockholders in this Company. What their Company may do is to try to be ready to do in every large city in the United States where its people are found in any comfortable number, born.

Those who are neutral and can be easily averted by circumstances either for or against the Afro-American. 3. Those who are friendly to his advancement, educationally, morally, financially, and politically. The first-named class, like all radicals, is very much in evidence, and controls nearly all availances of public information, such as the press, politics, pulpit and bar. The press controls to a certain extent politics; molds, forms and crystallizes public opinion. They use the pulpit to soothe, allay and harden the consciences of the church element against毒害 of the church element the highest form of beast or as an inferior creation of man, made especially for the use and gratification of the white man—incapable of assimilation and without feelings of manhood or womanhood and with only the instincts of a beast, i.e. lust and the gratification of the senses. This statement is, of course, for that part of the church membership from the slum element of the cities, who are ignorant, credulous and insecure in the pine woods and mountains who are of like character and instincts. The second element is composed of that vast body of floaters whose opinions are molded by the press on all political matters and by the church in matters of social morals; and by what their neighbors think of, say, or by public opinion, voiced by demagogues or interested parties who want to use the Negro oppression of the poor, poor laborers and graft; and by the conscienceless employer of labor who wants as a substitute for slavery peon labor. The third and last class consists of philanthropists and educated or wealthy churchmen. The last class is very small and its influence is gradual, silent yet progressive. The first class is very tenacious, aggressive, overbearing and insolent, relying on racial unity, numbers, wealth, legislative and executive power, the armed force of State and Nation, the power of unity and racial' leadership incident to a people held in bondage for centuries and emerging from that state but recently. Now, the conclusion I draw from the preceding observations on the two first-named classes is that we have nothing to fear but everything to hope for. The last class, though numerically smaller than the first and second combined, has the silent and in some instances active sympathies of the whole of Mexico. Central America, South America and nearly unanimously the peoples of the West Indies and of the educated, moral, refined, wealthy and aristocratic element of the whole of the American life. We know that four hundred of five of the seven of humanity are colored; and we know as a fact that they are to a man in sympathy with the third class, which I have described as friendly to us. Let us sum up: We have against us an active, belligerent, blood-thirsty class, insolent in their power gained by frand, intimidation and murderous force, void of all respect for law and decency, in- MOTORS; William TenByck, James B.

And why all this noise and bluster, this throwing open the valves of hellish murder and intimidation? Let me whisper it into your ear: It is the agony of fear and hate.

One of Those Letters Which Sweeten To the Editor of The New York Age: I must delight your soul that the printer puts before you such an issue as that of August 18, 1900. "Are my labors appreciated; have the people really learned the value of a paper to their cause?" Most of us are willing to admit the worth of the home and the church, and have let of our cash go out in these directions; but it is worth it to value it of a paper is recognized by as many as should do so. I heartily congratulate you that God has spared your life through all these years, and that you now remi me of that good old wine in bottles, which age increases the value. Washington, August 18, 1900. THE AOK is undoubtedly as "classy" a paper as is published by people of color anywhere to-day. Both in matter and appearance it reflects credit on the race, and on the talent and inspiration to others. And even though at times its brilliant editorial only go to show the genius of its chief editor and able assistants in presenting a strong argument, the book is a work of art. "thinks" are so well pet and plaintly stated that it must command the admiration and respect of even its brilliant fiction. More success to THE AOK. As yet it exhibits no signs of "Oberium." U. P. H.

MONTGOMERY, Ala., August 24—The State Fair promoters are very much en- couraged over the lively interest the Afro-American people have towards the success of Nemo Day, which has been set aside for them. The Afro-American们 of Montgomery, as well as the State, are adopting every precaution to make their day one of the most interesting features of the fair, and are receiving the approbation of the white people in their undertaking. In "Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee India," he assures the committee to assume charge of all questions relative to the Afro-American exhibits and plans. He will be in Montgomery county during the entire week and will direct the Afro- Americans at all times as well as on their particular day. As a representative in Montgomery, he has appointed N. Nathan H. Alexander to look, after the侵 attempts and to take the necessary steps towards the successful issue of their plans. The Afro-Americans will attend the grounds just as if no special day had been set aside, but Saturday, October 27, in their distinctively with the single exception that the whites upon that day will be allowed the same privileges that the Afro-Americans would be allowed at any time during the week. President Vandiver has received the plans and specifications of the Negro expedition building for the occasion. A remarkable feature this building will be that the entire work will represent Afro-American capital, labor and ideas. The plans were drawn by Architect W. T. Bailey, of Tuskegee, and the material will be placed together by Afro-American workmen. The building, as set forth in the plans, will be one of the most creditable ones on the grounds, which goes to show that the Afro-Americans are determined to make the best of the opportunity offered them to display their talents and alms. Within the building will be waiting rooms for men and women, dining rooms, and usual appendages, public building. This structure will, of course, be in operation during the entire proceedings. The program that will be arranged for Negro Day has been left in the hands of Dr. Washington. Of course, the chief intrepid in the speech, the speech of Dr. Washington, will deliver. Pretty Story About Fleming. When Chancellor Hill, of Georgia, whose death was a public calamity, spoke to the students at Hampton he told them the story of a Representative in Congress from Georgia who left Washington at his own expense, though a poor man, in order to return to his home and defend a poor Negro whom he thought was unjustly charged with crime. He won his case and set the man free, though it probably cost him his seat in Congress. His was a heroic act. One cannot be hopeless about the South while no one can be joyful and who are willing to sacrifice selfish interests for the sake of the poor and oppressed. One is not surprised to read the really great speech that Congressman W. H. Fleming (for it was he of whom Chancellor Hill spoke) made at the commencement of the University of Georgia in June. California Afro-American Council. LOS ANGELES, Cal., August 24.—The annual meeting of the California Afro-American Council, which takes place August 27-29, is the largest gathering of Afro-Americans ever assembled in this State.

We hope that the country will not become too excited; for the old flag is still there. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY AUGUST 30, 1906. Nancy Had a Night Where Black Courier Should Ride. CINCINNATI, O. August 24. — A strenuous time was encountered by United States Marshal Vivian J. Fagin, who returned yesterday morning from a trip to Atlanta, Ga., whither he conveyed six desperate Government officers who had been sent to the Coliseum in tertiary. The Government owns its own prison at Atlanta. Marshal Fagin, his deputies and the prisoners left this city last Sunday evening, after a stop of about two hours between trains. In the crowd was one Afro-American prisoner, and he came near being the innocent cause of considerable trouble. The smoker in the crowd made him handle two sections, one to be used for whites exclusively and the other for Afro-Americans. When Marshal Fagin boarded the car in this city he was told of the arrangement and took all of the convicts in the section reserved for whites. In doing so he had to place the Afro-American, William Davia, there also, as he was handcuffed to a fellow prisoner. When the train arrived at Larston, Ky., a man was arrested and having the smoking car, insisted on ordering the Afro-American prisoner into the "Jim Crow" section of the car. Deputy Bauer, who was near the leader of the crowd, came near getting into a serious altercation with the leader, who was heavily armed, and who threatened all kinds of mischief. If the Afro-American was not transferred. At this juncture Marshal Fagin called the would-be ruffian aside and calmly told him that the men were United States prisoners, that they were under his charge as Marshal, and that they would remain where they were under making his explanation to you, said Fagin calmly, "You you in order to avoid trouble for yourself. They are in my custody and will be taken care of at all hazards." This back-its-effect. When, the train arrived at Chattanooga, Tenn., there came near being more trouble. The station master and policemen insisted that the Afro-American convict be placed in that section set aside for Afro-American. The men were wary of the man and Marshall. Fagin decided to feed them. He replied that he would rather keep his man in the white man's section than have any of them go over to the other, as it would be necessary to take one of the white prisoners there also. Fagin again explained his mission and office, and after a lengthy altercation won out. The train was late and missed the train, and instead of arriving at the latter place early in the afternoon, it was 10 p.m. before he landed his men at the penitentiary. HOW "JIM CROW" LAW ONCE PUNISHED SENATOR TILLMAN Platform for His, Though Seats Were Plenty in "Colored" Cars. WASHINGTON, August 24—Senator Tillman of South Carolina once violated a law, for the adoption of which he was so outspoken, but occupied punishment. no outspoken, but escaped punishment. About five years ago the legislature of South Carolina enacted a law compelling the railroads in the State to provide separate coaches for whites and blacks to ride together after admission a State fair was held at Columbia, at which Senator Tillman was a visitor. "Realizing that the night train would be crowded, I decided to return home from the fair on the noon train," says Mr. Tillman in relating the incident. "I got my grip and went to the depot and found every seat occupied in the white car and a throng in the passageway, filling up to stand up for the distractions of sixty miles, I began to permeulate along from one car to another. Finally I got to a perfectly empty coach with no one in it except two colored men. I quietly and very modestly enclosed myself in one of the seats. The car I was in was as good as any of the others I had passed through, but was marked colored" and was set apart under a canopy and locked up there, but thought if I behaved myself my colored fellow citizen would not object. "After a while several colored men came into the car, among them a fellow citizen of mine, who took a neat opposite me and began conversing. "I know you, sir, began my colored friend. 'I went to Benedict college while you were governor.' Someone replied that he hoped he had never heard anything bad about him, to which the colored man added: "No, we colored people like you. Some of us, though, make a terrible racket about some things you have said. Your bark is worse than your bite." "Finally," said Mr. Tillman, "the colored fellow, with a gleam of humor, which simply consulted me afterwards, although I did not relish it right off, said. Governor, don't you think that the white folks ought to obey the laws they put on the books?" "I did not need any more hint. I reached for my grip and said, 'You are all right. I surely believe in obeying that law, because we would not let you ride, either, in the cars of the whites, and if you object to my riding here I will go back.' "And I walked back and stood on the platform the rest of the journey to my home." If a community craved with fear does not want soldiers in its neighborhood, then let them be removed. Such a condition is dangerous on both sides, exaggerated and unreasonable as the fear may be. We are not displeased that the War Department has ordered the regiment from panic-striken Brownville to Fort Ringgold. Dark Ages in Twentieth Century. From an Account of the Niagara Movement. Friday, "John Brown's Day," began with an early morning pilgrimage to the John Brown Fort. Rev. O. M.

A Southern white man of the fast fading knightly line, in a recent personal letter to the Nrogs, wrote: "Doubts you cannot appreciate my attitude toward the Nrogo in politics here, as you are not familiar with conditions. You are not familiar with the politician here, and the white politician is debauched by inherent disposition. Both the Nrogo and the Nrogo rent. For instance, The board of examination, white, met the past week. There were a dozen Nrogo applicants for certifications thoroughly incompetent themselves, admitted, and in fact boasted, that the Nrogo were not new. They were the Nrogo them their certificates because they did not want any new Nrogoes who had any education to come in and teach, and which by no means are of infrequent occurrence, are among the things which make a majority no school at all.
