I won, the fight, I think, fairly and squately. There can be no question that I would have put the Dane out in another round or two. He fouled me deliberately, and it was the only way he could have himself from being sent to the floor for the count. He was not alone, and he was from his blows. Only his powers of endurance enabled him to stay from the thirty-fifth to the forty-second round. I might have ended matter earlier, but I meant to take no chances. My task was a simple one. I had but to jab him into a helpless condition, and his success unfolded. He eventually confident when I entered the ring, and after the first six rounds I knew there was but one ending. He landed his best on me in the early rounds, and they did not affect me. I think I have proven to the public that I am a good sportman. I gave them every advantage, the poor post, the wrong, and the hard my square fighting. That the Dane lasted much longer than I anticipated I freely admit. He in-game enough and strong enough, but lacks the knowledge to be a champion. I wish to thank George Biller. He referred fairly and squately to Nelson against butting, and he had been a bit superior he would have qualified Nelson earlier in the fight. But I was satisfied to have the content go on to a more satisfactory end. JOE GANS. GOLDFIELD, Nev., September 4.--Joe Gans won on a foul from Battling Nelson in the forty-second round of the greatest thightwight battle that has ever been. This makes Gans the undisputed lightweight champion of the world. For forty-two periods of three minutes each, Gans was beaten by battling superhuman powers of endurance; battled with each other in the ring of the great arena here. Gans having the better of the fight at almost every stage. Nelson showed that he had not given a wrong impression of his true ability when he said he depended on his staying powers to beat Gans; but Gans was fully as well equipped with fighting power as he had been told many more rounds when the fight was ended. When Nelson struck the foul blow which sent Gans slinking to the floor the Dane had received a terrible beating. One eye had been entirely closed by the continual pounding it had been subjected to, and his other eye was fast becoming useless. Both the men were bleeding profusely. Both the men were fighting for the punishment, and the Dane was the first one to weary. Shortly after the forty-second round began the men were in their usual elkchin. Nelson had his hand on Gans's shoulder and his arm down. Several times he hit Gans below the belt, apparently feeling for a vital spot. At last he drew back his right arm and hit Gans a victorious blow square in the groin. Gans sank to his knees and rolled over on his back. Nefree Silver without hesitation ordered Nelson to his corner and awarded the fight to Gans on a foul. So far as a gift and determination are concerned. Battling Nelson up in a very good fight against Joe Gans to-day. As long as Nelson held Gans even or imagined he had a slight advantage he battled in his own determined style. Whenever he was stung by Gans' punches he showed a disposition to lose the fight on a foul. (Continued on third page.) Rally on September 9, With Selika to Sing Morning and Night. The A. M. B.

Under the amphiles of the "United Colored Republican" the Afro-American voters of the 18th Assembly District hold a monaster outdoor meeting at 63rd street and Amsterdam avenue on Thursday evening of last week. A strongman brass band, before the meeting, paraded around the district importing the big float from which the speakers were to speak, and excited much enthusiasm. Gorgeous fireworks were set off from the float, and a huge thong was attracted to the speaking place. Mr. Gilchrist Stewart presided and opened the meeting with an impressive outline of the issues. He said there were two points of view from which Afro-Americans should support the candidacy of. Aberman John J. Hahn, and these points of view were emphasized William H. Butler and Mr. William R. Davis, who is known all over New York county as a telling race advocate. First, said the orators, Mr. Habb should receive the Afro-American voter support as loyal Republicans. Why, asked they, is Mr. Farrell receiving the tenuous support of the Democrats of the district? Tammym gives no gratitude favors. It is because Tammym is certain it can use Mr. Farrell if he selected leader. Use him how? Why, to take the lead, he can let Trump carry the district in the coming election. All loyal Republican voters, continued the speakers, who wish to ensure general Republican success by building up strong Republican organizations within the Assembly districts must refuse to commit the suicide of strengthening Tammym Hall. A vote for Farrell is a vote to make the Republican-organisation of the 19th the bondscrant of Tammym Hall. It was urged at an assembly the Afro-American voters could not help supporting Mr. Habb against a mall like Farrell, whose followers—like leader like men—had committed an outrageous and brutal assault upon Afro-American voters who were their guests at a picnic of the Farrell organisation; who had outraged the self-responset of the Afro-American voters by asserting that he could buy all their votes at $50 a head; and who, with old 13th Assembly district, had shown that he was antagonistic to the Afro-Americans by refusing them representation in the various conventions and committees. Mr. Hahn, on the contrary, has always pursued absolutely the opposite policy. He has favored the fullest recognition of the Afro-American voters and is a true blue Republican, uncontaminated by deals with Tammany. The speakers had the crowd with them all the way. When the fact was mentioned, Farrell was told the black vote for $1 apiece, the statement was greeted with jeers and hisses and indignant cries of "Shame." At this point Mr. Hahn himself appeared on the scene, and was welcomed with enthusiastic shouts and cheers. He was introduced by Mr. Stewart with a fitting cULogy, and made a fine speech. Mr. Hahn said he had always lived among the Afro-American for fifteen years, visiting their homes and receiving the belief of known he was better equipped of knowledge and carrying out their wants and desires than was Mr. Farrell, who had never entered an Afro-American's door until this campaign, when he woke up and found he needed their votes. He had had passed, he said, in the Board of Aldermen the resolution endorsing the Saxe 11th avenue railroad bill to remove the tracks from that avenue, in the hope of securing for the Afro-American's public playgrounds and vacation schools; while Alderman, Farrell was absent from the resolution was taken. Mr. Hahn's entire record of supporting Afro-Americans after the San Juan hill race riots is an open book. How any Afro-American voter who has the interests of his race at heart, who believes in rewarding every friend and in whacking every hostile head the minute it bobs up—how any such voter can choose to champion a proved enemy at heart like Farrell against a proved friend like Hahn, passes comprehension. It is only just to any that the few Afro-American voters of the very 13th Assembly district will vote for Farrell. A vote for him means a vote against the political recognition of the race and for the brutal race prejudice and proscription of the South. Mr. Stewart, in closing the meeting, epitomized the situation with a remark which caused deafening cheers. "The slogan making the rounds of the district," said he, "is 'Stand with the League.' The right slogan for an Afro-American voter at all times and places is 'Stand with the race!'" RACE RIOT IN CHICAGO OVER GANS-NELSON BATTLE Hundreds Took Part in Pitched Combat Losting Half an Hour. CHICAGO, September 3.—One thousand men and women, black and white, joined in a race riot to-night in South Chicago, a short distance from Hergeswich, home of Battling Nelson, an a rebel leader of the Civil War. For half an hour fought a pitched battle in the streets with fists, clubs and stones. Four of the belligerents are now in the hospital, forty-two are under arrest and hundreds of others who escaped the vengeance of the police suffered minor injuries. The conflict which followed the announcement that Gann had won over the Hegewisch lad in the forty-second round, as the result of a foul, was precipitated by two Afro-Americans whose excess of joy at the triumph of the black man was permitted to bubble over. For more than an hour following the police were compelled to cope with a riot of unusual proportions and to pounce upon the police, their preoccupies to the station. Forty police-men used their clubs freely before the battalists were checked. Says Farrell's Hoodlums Did Make Him Run For Life —Now for Mr. Hahn The reckless and amusing prevarications to which political partisans will often condescend in the hope of deluding people into supporting them have been, it is to be regretted; only too characteristic of the Monitor League, which is trying to do business in the 13th Assembly district. Their ambition to win has led them into all sorts of repreceable acts. They have not scrupled, when they fancied it served their purposes, to misquote Mr. Lenniel E. Quigg. They have gave far more content what Afro-American owes race loyalty as to attempt to shirk by unceremonious misrepresentations. Farrell's hoodlums who beat up Afro-American guests on the way home from their picnic. Race-loving men all over the district are indignant over the League's endeavor, in its souvenir journal recently published, to defend the cause of Farrell's hoodlums, who are of the same stance as those who the South Right-minded Americans are. The South Right-minded attributed this attack to the League as an almost incredible attempt to encourage in the North the same savage brutality which make the South a hell for Afro-Americans. Considered in this light the League has been so unfortunate as to have rendered itself odious in the eyes of all 'Afro-Americans who call for the wrongs of their black brethren. The many political references in this souvenir journal are invariably distorted, false and misleading. In only one case, though, is the name of a person used so that the falshood is susceptible of instant disproof. In his foolish seal, the editor of the journal was so rash to assert that a recurrent report in *Titic Ack* was that the Washington had been badly assaulted by Farrell's hoodlums, was denied in an opening meeting of the League by Mr. Washington himself. Mr. Washington, whose wounds are still smarting in his memory, hotly reents this attempt to use him to whitewash those very men who assaulted him and would have murdered him if his not be brained, brisk, and sends Titic Ack the following self-explanatory letter: To the Editor of The New York Acm: "I wish that you would permit me space in your journal to make a few remarks in the way of denying and denouncing an exaggeration and false statement which has been recently published in the souvenir journal of the Monitor magazine of 220 West Glast street, New York city. "I wish to say that the statement I made in open meeting of the Monitor League on the evening in question has been tampered with. Here are the facts of the statement made by me. I said that I was assailed and abused on the evening after returning to the Eururail outing by fellow paraders of the Farrell organization while parading with them in Glast street. Colin Gibbs bus avenue. It is no use denying the fact—I was grossly abused by a gang of ruffians. Several days after I met Mr. Gibbsr Stewart, also a member of the League, and I related the occurrence to him, and he told me that he himself was subjected to the same experience by the same crowd. Shortly after this conversation with Mr. Stewart was told by a member of the League of telling Mr. Stewart to publish the article found in THE AGE of August 16; and it was the statement that I had told Mr. Stewart to publish the outrage given me that I declared a lie. The author of the statement in the souvenir journal of the League misquoted my statement. I could not have said so, when I was abused, and had not run when I had been murdered. I could say a great deal more if opportunity would allow. "New York city, August 30, 1900." Subsequent to sending this statement, Mr. Washington announced himself in favor of Mr. Crawford as candidate in resooning the best interests of the African American Republicans of the 13th Assembly district. CHICAGO WINS AS SITE FOR $75,000 PYTHIAN Indianapolis Considered Less Eligible Than the Windy City. CITIGAGE, September 1.—The exciting question as to whether Indianapolis or Chicago should be selected as the site of the proposed $75,000 Pythian Temple was decided in favor of Chicago. The Pythian commissioners, who were wild and dined here for a week before their wedding, held a four hours' secret conference yesterday, the result of which was the choice of Chicago. The commissioners decided to spend forty-five thousand dollars for the ground, and the Temple will be built on one of the most prominent business corners of State street on the south side. The proposal on the ground, the Supreme Lodge will now proceed to erect a Temple that will cost $75,000. The commissioners began leaving for their homes today, voting Chicago the most hospitable city in the world. Will Build Department Store MERIDAN, Miss., August 31—A body of enterprising Afro-American here, known as the Globe Supply company, have been granted a charter and will establish a department store in that city. The company has a capital stock of $10,000. AFRO-AMERICAN BRIGUARS TO HAVE MILITARY TRIAL Not to Be Abandoned to Revenge of Brownville Witness Special Correspondence of The Acm. WASHINGTON, September 5.—It is learned all unacceptable authority that the Afro-American soldiers implicated in the recent attack at Brownville, whom not to be pursued to the civil trial, town, but will receive a military trial—the usual procedure in cases of misdemeanors by soldiers. It was greatly feared that those soldiers would be abducted unarmed to the revenge of the Brownville whites; in which event the chances of escape would about equal those of the martyrs whom the Romans flung defenseless and unarmed to the cause. The information was selected by the committee; headed by Counselor J. Douglas Wetmore, appointed last week at the meeting of the Afro-American Council. APRO-AMERICAN PRESIDENT VAN GOTT MIXED MEETING Herbert. Parsons Sororized Brown by Oratern in Twenty-fifth. A mass meeting of the Republicans, white and Afro-American, of the upper end of the 25th Assembly district, was held at 125 West 20th street last Friday night. Mr. Samuel Moran, an Afro-American had the honor of presiding, the meeting was held in the interest of Mr. Richard Van Cott, who is the reg. Republican nominee for leader of the party. An enthusiastic, shouting multitude was present and made the outlook for the candidacy by ambuliumm Prentice look like thirty cents. Chairman Moran first introduced Mr. Hugo Nowak, who emphasized the necessity of having a leader like Mr. Van Cott, who unlike Mr. Parsons, did not consider it "none of his business" to aid voters in distress, but on the contrary was ready at any hour of the day or night to come to the assistance of the very umbellied Republican voter. Mr. Percy Nicholson Nowak, is but the puppet of which Mr. Parsons, the strings, and does not venture to decide whether the weather is good or bad without consulting the opinion of Mr. Parsons. This speech elicited cheers for Van Cott and Jeers for Prentice. Chairman Moran next introduced Captain A. S. Grant, a veteran of the Civil and Spanish-American wars; who cited, as instances of Parsons' stiff-necked, aristocratic unwillingness to aid his constituents, his refusal on several occasions use his influence to land deserving men in his house and Post Office. These structures, arising from old veteran and a tried true friend of the Afro-American people, had a profound effect. Mr. Moran then read a letter from Mr. Jacob Hess, known as one of the best friends the Afro-American people have in this country, urging that the best interests of the Republican party in the 27th are wrapped up in the election of Mr. Van Cott as leader. Mr. Van Cott then took the stand amid a hurricane of applause. He said that his record as a Republican was an open book which he who runs might hear, and that if elected leader, he would do all in his power to further the interests of all his constituents less of race and color. Mr. Van Cott, who is very popular, was rewarded with such applause as augured auspiciously for his success at the September 18 primaries. Then Mr. Moran introduced Mr. Gilchrist Stewart, the Afro-American leader of the new 13th, who, as usual, delivered a roast-m-up speech. He made two strong points. He first declared himself opposed as a devoted Republican to Mr. Parsons drawing a line within Republican circles, and the aristocrats to the great stage of the latter, and attempting to build up a little coterie of blue stockings to host Republican politics in the county. Mr. Stewart called attention to Mr. Parsons' inconsistency in posing as a little immaculate deity and denouncing all his opponents as corruptionists when he continued one of the most questionable figures in the history of this county to become leader of the old 25th Assembly district. As his second point Mr. Stewart recited the services to the race of the father of Mr. Van Cott, Postmaster Cornelius Van Cott, the first man who made a fight in the State Committee for an Afro-American State Committeeman, who secured numerous appointments and promotions for Afro-Americans, and, who was popularly known, far and wide, as "the colored man's friend." His friendly disposition, as well as his political nannie have fallen upon his son; and the Afro-American committee discharge the great debt they owe the father, are bound to support the son. At the conclusion of this speech, three cheers were stronely given for "The Van Cott, father and son," and then the meeting was adjourned. Fell Two Stories and Hurt His PHILADELPHIA, September 4.—While wheeling a load of bricks at the new Giardi Trust Company's building, Broad and Chestnut streets, Saturday morning, Thomas Johnson, an Afro-American, fell off a platform to the basement, two floors below. When Farrrell, a reserve policeman, got to Johnson, he was unconscious, and at the Hancmann hospital it was found that he had sustained a contusion of the hip. Death From Lockjaw Punches M. D. PHILADELPHIA, September 4.—The death yesterday of Henry Jones, an Afro-American, in the Philadelphia hospital from tetanus is attracting widespread attention among physicians, as there is no apparent injury on the man's body through which he could have become inoculated. Jones, who lives at 1240 Kater street, was taken ill two weeks ago. He went to the hospital, where his peculiar symptoms, placed the physicians. Last week lockjaw developed, and the man died in convulsions. An examination of the body failed to reveal any injury. The coroner is investigating. Special Correspondence of The Ack. ATLANTA, Ga., August 31st. "Our lead era should see to it that the criminal Negro is gotten rid of. Making all allowance for mistakes, injustice and the. influence of racial prejudice, I have no hesitation in saying that one of the elements of the present situation that gives me most concern is the large number of crimes committed by members of our race. The Negro is committing too much crime and South. We should see to it that crimes will even number, otherwise the race will perish. The crime of lynching everywhere and at all times should be condemned, and those who commit crimes of any nature should be condemned. Our Southland today has no greater enemy to business progress than lynchers and those who provoke lynching. Every man, white or black, who takes the law into his own hands to lynch, burn or shoot human beings supposed to be guilty of crime is insulting the executive, judicial and law-abiding bodies of the State in which he resides. Lawlessness in one direction will inevitably lead to lawlessness in other directions. It is the idlers, the loafers, the drunkards, the men without permission, the men with gumblers who own no homes, pay no taxes, who never bank account, who float from one community to another, without interest in any one spot, that commit the crimes that disgrace the race—not the thrift, industrious, taxpaying clauses represented in this organization." This was the dominant note struck at a most significant moment by the seventh annual convention of the National Negro Business League which assembled in this city August 29 to 31. It was emphasized in the annual address of Dr. Booker T. Washington with all the force of his eloquent voice, and backed by the taller voice of his remarkable personality. Such a voice at his time when the public mind is kept in tension by an aggrassing chain of circumstances reflecting upon the good name of our people, came as a tonic to the distressing situation, and the presence of more than 200 prosperous-looking, orderly and intelligent delegates and visitors, including bankers, merchants, manufacturers, contractors, professional men, drummists, planters, real estate dealers, undertakers and every class of Afro-Americans that has to do with the moral, mental, and religious uplift the nation and the homogeneous far to ameliorate the strained relations that have threatened ill consequences to both the whites and blacks of this community. It has been remarked as a strange coincidence that upon practically the same spot where he delivered the inspired message which caused all the world to pause and listen eleven years ago, Dr. Washington should again sound the keynote that ushers in the second era of the race and the convention of the Afro-American's foremost commercial and business factors that has drawn crowds daily and nightly this work at Big Bethel church has been an inspiration to the entire race and an eye opener to those who have been inclined to doubt Afro-American capacity to be more than a cipher in the world of finance and trade. Events have simply demonstrated the wizardry of this session of the National Negro Business League to Atlanta. There may have been other meetings of the organization more resplendent in some special features, but the one that just passed into history stands preeminent in at least two particulars: It served not only to show the white man of the South the great progress the Afro-American is making along all lines throughout the length and breadth of the land, but it had a local significance, so decidedly. The result bids fair to be more far reaching than anything that has occurred here in recent years. Conventions of the League there may have been where the attendance of notable persons has been larger, but this year the enrollment of delegates and the number of visitors outstrip by many hundreds those of any previous session of the body, and the composition of the audiences has been of the elements needed to stimulate and stimulate influence of the black man's only substitute for the white man's Board of Trade, Chamber of Commerce or Stock Exchange. For at least a month preceding the session there had been in this city and its suburbs a series of criminal assaults upon women. Some of these crimes were peculiarly atrocious, and, whether committed by black men or white men disguised as such, warranted the savior penalty known to us as murdering the revival of the Ku Klux Klan, and men usually level-headed and conservative were giving vent to utterances of an inconditional character hitherto never dreamed of as emanating from their lips. Such was the state of mind among the populace when the League was called to order Wednesday morning. On the surface all was serenity, but underneath was a slumbering volcano, needing on an ill-advised scale the help of the defenseless elite a fuse that would have wrought direful consequence. When the convention adjourned Friday the relationship relating between the races was gratifyingly cordial and harmonious, and those who had prophesied the visitation of a mael- BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

Washington's Speech Aborted Local Fury Against the Race. law and to oppose crime committed by the lacher as severely as the outrage perpetrated by the rapist. Though they may not have been aware of it, the hun It is universally conceded that the sensible, well-poised and straightforward speech of Dr. Washington was potent in bringing about this wonderful reversal of popular sentiment. [Dr. Washington's address will be found in full on the fifth page.] On this occasion the spacious auditorium was crowded to suffocation with a vast concourse of citizens eager to hear that had been the most important question of the race on the vital questions of the hour. As on all stellar occasions, Dr. Washington made "the speech of his life." Its earnestness and directness carried conviction with it, and the tremendous applause which greeted almost every sentence testified that he had struck a sympathetic chord in the hearts of his audience. He was the most radical of Afro-Americans or for the most caustic critic to have picked a single flaw in the magnetic deliverance. No man anywhere under the sun could have been more vehement in the denunciation of lynching and of the crime that provoked it. The mob was pictured as being society's deadliest enemy, and he was the most violent of the quarter should be shown the criminal who made it possible for the mob to exist. By a fortuitous circumstance Dr. Washington met the editor whose firades against Afro-Americans have been laying the foundation for eternal discord, and by a masterly plan for justice and an uncompromising attitude of hostility to the vicious members of the race succeeded. Dr. Washington angered of compelling a whole race to suffer humiliation and ignominy because of the crimes of a few. As a result of this heart-to-heart interview, the newspaper in question came out later on with an editorial acknowledging that there were thousands of Afro-American men and women in the community who are far above the species of offenses complained of and who richly merit the respect and confidence of the whites. Undoubtedly the editorial commending the industrious, law-binding Afro-American and condoning the denounce of the dive has had a most helpful effect on the courtrooms and dignified ladies and gentlemen amply justified the most extravagant claims that its friend made for it. Never have Atlanta's hospitable doors been opened to a more creditable body of Afro-Americans. They were the eyewitness of all eyes as they viewed the many interesting sights of the South's most enterprises commercial center, and it is pleasing to state that during their stay every vestige of the so-called "Jim Crow" restrictions on street cars, in the parks and public buildings were totally suspended. Not one instance of discomfort through the operation of race prejudice was reported. It is not less gratifying to be able to participate in the competition in the hotel lobbies, cafes, clubs, on curatations and in the homes was turned from a discussion of lynching to that of business done by Afro-Americans who have the marvelous faculty for conducting establishments in the same wide-awake, up-to-date fashion in which white men conduct them. Something of a sensation was created when it became currently rumored that there were a dozen Afro-American presidents of banks in town, and the wonder grow that such a thing could be possible, in the face of the disadvantages under which the black people have had to labor. Somebody told it that there was an Afro-American woman in the city who could arrange and serve a banquet better than anybody in her community, and many of the black people use the Pre-President banks, the late President Harrison and other distinguished persons with perfect satisfaction to her patrons. A central figure also was an enterprising Afro-American farmer of Georgia, who of all planters of the South always brings in the first bale of cotton from the thousands of acres he owns; and an Afro-American contractor who has scores of white mechanics working under him. A notable demonstration of the saving value of the presence of these constructive workers in our city came Friday afternoon just a few hours before the adjournment of the regular session. The names of thousands of the best white men of Atlanta and Fulton county appeared in print in an afternoon paper in a newspaper, and white chiccapping and lynching and calling upon everybody to stand up for the majesty of the PRICE, 5 CENTS.

E. church, a fine stone edifice, seating 2,000 people, was well-filed on Wednesday morning when Mr. W. B. Matthews, president of the Atlanta Negro Business League, called the seventh annual convention of the NA Negro Business League to order. After a brief meeting, he bided delegates and visitors, Mr. Matthews introduced Rev. E. R. Carter, pastor of the Friendship Baptist church of Atlanta, who invoked a blessing upon the proceedings. It was expected that His Honor, Mayor James G. Woodward, would welcome the delegates, but unfortunately that gentleman was called out of the city, and the NA Negro Business League fell upon the acting mayor, Hon. J. H. Harwell, Mr. Harwell, among other excellent things, said: "It gives me great pleasure on behalf of the Mayor and all the people of the city of Atlanta to welcome you here. I infer from your program and from the name of your organization that you are a body of business men. We ordinarily mean by business men those who buy and sell goods. As a matter of fact, every business man is a business man. To be a business man is merely to be busy. The preacher, teacher, lawyer, doctor, and mechanic, as well as the dealers in dry goods or groceries, ought to be a busy man—hence, a business man. An idle man is a curse to the town or country. A business man is a blessing. "I take it I am addressing this morning busy men. Busy men do not commit crimes. It is the idle men who are responsible for the crimes that are committed in course. I come, then, this morning as a business man to say that you are welcome, and if you are indeed and in truth business men, I am not afraid to turn over to you the keys of the city and give you anything you want. I hope you will enjoy your stay here, and in the name of the whole city I cordially welcome you." When the enthusiastic applause following Mr. Harwell's sentiments and subsided Mr. Matthews introduced Hon. James Jones, presides over the Hon. Chamber of Commerce who made a favorable impression and extended a welcome to the convention on behalf of the body he represented. Mr. Jones remarked in part: "If there is any place in the world that you ought to receive a hearty welcome, it is here in Georgia, where there are more people of your race than there are in the same territory in any other place on the globe outside of Africa. For this reason you hardly need a welcome to your place, but you are the first place for the name of your League—the National Negro Business League. I want to congratulate you for calling it 'National.' We don't want any sectionalism here. Then I am glad you call it the 'Negro League.' Colored' means everything but black and white. What is the use of applying to one's self a title that may mean red, yellow, indigo or green—mostly green? "We are trying to build itself up. It is building itself up, and you and your race are entitled to the credit of it; it ought not to go to anyone else, and it seems to me you do wisely to call yourself by your racial name. "But this is a business League. I want to say that no business man is so by accident. A man who has made a business success has made that success by thought and effort, and man who has thought and effort the hard to do, a task on his hands that is going to take all that he is able to put into it physically, intellectually and morally. There is enough difference between a well-managed business and a poorly managed business to make a profit. This is essentially a business city. Everything here pulsates, vibrates and has its being with the magic impetus of business. I do welcome and advise you to get busy with your business in a beautiful city, until you are ready to 'get busy with that bustling business of yours at home. Make your organization indeed a 'League,' but, for goodness sake, do not allow it to become a 'trust.'" Neale hills PT a re oe an acl ee) lana Saas patie @pteey DA.

The Bryan Menace It looks as if the country would never be rid of the Bryan menace. It has hung like a black cloud over the politics of the Republic for twelve years. Before the election of Mr. McKinley twelve years ago Mr. Bryan was regarded as a radical on all fiscal and economic questions; but President Roosevelt took all of the starch out of Bryan's corporation theories by practical recommendations, which have become law by action of the Congress; so that in order to overreach President Roosevelt it was necessary for Mr. Bryan to take advanced views of corporation control which place him in the ranks of the socialist. He was also a demagogue. He will proceed upon radical lines of thought in advance of any protagonist, regardless of where it may lead him, and of the demoralization which his policy may cause to the vital interests of the Republic. His advocacy of Federal control of public utility corporations shows this to be the case. The policy of corporate ownership which Mr. Bryan has announced will not be accepted by the country. Corporate control is as far as the country will go and legislation along the lines of Federal regulation of corporate institutions, such as the Elkins' law and the Federal Railway Rate bill, is as far as the American people will go. Federal ownership ofilitaries is a portion of their policy; Federal regulation is. Mr. Bryan depends for this nomination upon the rotten Democracy of the South. Strangely enough the Southern Democracy is showing a disposition to balk at Mr. Bryan's radicalism and to throw him over as a Presidential probability. We had not looked for that sort of sanity in that quarter. Mr. Bryan is not only a monacling but a demoralizing influence in American politics. If the Democrats should nominate him for President they will have to face just such condition as they did in the first McKinley administration that they will lay him out in 1908 as they did in 1800. But to do this they must nominate a candidate in whom the electors of the country have absolute confidence. --- The Business League Meeting. The annual meeting of the National Negro Business League has come to be one of the most important, interesting and inspiring of the Afro-American gatherings of the year. There has been a constant increase of interest in the League and its good work. It has been an inspiration to the people all over the country, who have gone into business enterprises during the past eight years as never before in their history. The annual meeting of the League at Athens Bank would together as usual a large number of men and women who have made a place for themselves in the business life of their communities. Twenty-three banks were represented in the convention; all, save one, being a direct outgrowth of the influence of the League during the past eight years. This fact alone would be a sufficient justification for the existence of the League. The Business League has become a fact. It is no longer the only organization. The League has a significance and encouragement. It points the way to better things in the life of the Afro-American people. Dr. Booker T. Washington and those associated with him in the work of the League deserve well of the Afro-American people for the inspiration they have given them in the development of business enterprises of all sorts. Gens Wins Out. Joseph Gans, of Baltimore, is the lightweight champion of the world. For two hours last Monday he outpointed Battling Nelson in a fight at Goldfield, Nevada, and was awarded the decision on a foul in the forty-second round. The fight is said to have been the greatest in the history of the lightweight class. It is believed that Gans prolonged the battle in order to get even with Nelson because of the unfair demands upon which he insisted before consenting to fight and because for a long time he declared that he would not fight a black man. Be that as it may be, Gans cut the Dane to ribbons. A remarkable thing about the fight was that sympathy was with the black fighters from start to finish. At the ringside the vast encounter were with him; and the fouling tactics practised by the Dane all through the fight were condemned. The Dane went out to win by fair or fool means, but Gams proved himself to be the better man at every stage of the fight. He also proved that the fighter and more generous of the two. All honor to Gams for his brave fight and for the victory he has on honorably won, so that he has the applause of all fair minded men. It is a great distinction to prove to be physically and scientifically the greatest lightweight fighter in the world. Commenting on our statement that the Arte-American and the interior have passed out of the policy of the Republican party, our able Democratic contemporary, Buffalo Daily Press, may I? "The political party which, so cunning as any corporation, long pretended a profound moral concern regarding the valuable political asset he was in the past; therefore much of the old time hypocrisy is put aside, and the new party is more faithful to friends among Republicans than among the white citizens of other parties." Now, political parties do not deal in friendship in their business. Where there are no voters to be had or can be bead without consideration, they waste no sentiment. And the difficulty of the American political system in American is governed entirely by sentiment instead of interest in his voting. --- The incidence of railroad employees in the South toward Afro-American travelers is so general and provoking that we cannot understand why there are not constantly violent collisions. We think they are bound to come. We would prefer to allow Atlanta condemnation of travel woes than we have ever found them and they have always been bad under the separate car laws. Where is all of this injustice to lead? How long are Afro-Americans going to stand for it? The ministers of Atlanta so far controlled the arrangements of the local committee of the national Negro Business League that, at the time of the 1920s, the functions were allowed on the program and dancing was cut out of the only reception. The social side of the meeting of the League, as far as the preachers could make it, was so solemn as a funeral. The business men do not want that sort of thing to happen. The annual meeting of the League should be served and preachers should keep their hands off. Federal control of trunk line railways and the State control of State lines, advocated by William Jennings Bryan promulgated a law allowing the ability as 16 to I did. Give a demagogue enough rope and he will always hang himself. And after Bryan where will the Democratic party turn for a candidate for the governor of Missouri, Mawouri, or Douglas of Massachusetts? POLITICAL UNREST Two Race Papers Simultaneously Suggest Bolt to Sacrificia. Existing conditions in the American body politic demand an independent attitude on the part of the colored citizens, regardless of circumstances: The Southern Republicans have about elimination from politics. Democratic Legislatures have challenged him, and white Republican organizations have ignored him. Now, will colored Americans continue to force themselves in places on the councils of the party to which they have been identified, or will they be forced to by some that the Democratic party doesn't need the colored vote. Perhaps not, and if that party was the only one in existence, the colored voter might despair. But there is a party that is common, known as the Socialist Labor party, which recognizes quality of citizenship. From The Georgia Baptist. The Mirror, edited by Mr. John A. Mette of this city, is the State organ of the Socialist party, the words are, concluding, the position of the Socialist party in Georgia. We reproduce an article which appeared in that paper editorially August 11th, nearly two weeks previous to the election, in which we oppose that the colored voters of Georgia find it to their interest to vote the Socialist State ticket in October. Nineteenth of the colored people who belong to the people they must live daily upon the sweat of their brow. Nineteenth of the colored people are laboring people, who must eat bread daily in the sweat of their labor. They must eat the past, save of years must admonish all laboring classes that their hopes for the future devolve largely upon their coming together, and in one company of labor against combinations of wealth. NATIONAL "JIM CROW" POLITICS. Republican Party Recruit to Rights of Afro-Americans. To the Editor of This New York Ad: From my observation it seems that if the Democrats want to cost about and see what is best to do from a political standpoint. There is no question in my mind that there is a steady undercurrent bent on eliminating our people. It seems that the Democrats have a strong interest in the role of the Republican party toward the Afro-Americans as they have in shaping the policy of the Democratic party. The last Congress went down in history so far as can see without doing anything to realize that the Democratic party is ever since the advent of the McKinley administration it seems to me that the policy of the Republican party, while not in the open, has been to eliminate the colored people. It is true a crumb is given to the Democrats in the appointment and some high sounding phrases in public papers are sent out, but nothing of a definite and potential nature is done to relieve us from our deplorable condition. It is about time for our voters to agree with candidates for Congress to other attitude toward the Afro-Americans. If necessary a multitude of instances could be cited for the last eight on ten occasions, but not that the policy of a large per cent. of our leaders (white Republican) is to eliminate the Negro; and the white man is to eliminate the Negro; and the white man grounds finds but little encouragement. It is time for us to call nominee for Congress to an account. Let us know Greensboro, Ala., August 29, 1906. Hypercritical Warner Hyperlink Here From The St. Paul Appeal According to The Atlantic Geoplanet "the civilized world scribes with horrors" at the massacre of Jews in Russia. If no the civilized world is a monster hypocrite. The United States scribes, with horror at the massacre of Jews in Russia, attack at home. England scribes at the doings in Russia, but falls to notice her own devilish doings in Africa. And we guess that old Leopold of Belgium scribes at the doings in Russian and continues his savagery in the Congo Free State. It is a grand spectacle all around. The parties instead of scribes would later quit plundering and calling it "advancing civilization." There has been no election in Georgia, and yet a new Governor has been elected after a year's hot campaign. The election will not take place for some weeks made and the matter decided. There has been simply a nominating primary, and yet twice as many, perhaps five times as many, have voted as will vote in October, and they will simply register what has been decided. Only one of the two parties has been allowed to vote at this primary, but that makes no difference, and members are very nearly as many as those of the party which voted last week, but most of them are black, or of some intermediate shade, and they are effectually discouraged from voting. Members allowed to elect a Governor, even they cast the votes. The ruling party is bound to rule whether they have the votes or not. It is a white man's rule, they say, and the enforce condition which is being imposed in some of our South American republics, where the party in power so controls the elections as to retain all the offices. That condition which is said to exist in Venezuela, and is there recognized and justified. This practical election in Georgia has been the most sensational and dramatic of any of the State campaigns this year, and it has been the best of whom was, probably, the editor of a Savannah paper. He carried only one or two counties, and he is the only one that is not called a millionaire, but he has been the most irregular social relations were talked of to their discredit, and somewhat published. The two principal candidates, Hoke Smith and Clark Howell, both were well-known and untenablely campaign, and filled their respective newspapers with their own laudation and infamous abuse of their opponent. The specule has been shameful in the way of etiquette and Two matters of policy have been brought before the people of the Empire State of the South. One is the eternal wearliness Negro question, and the other the control of the trusts and railroads. The control of the trusts and railroads issue; that has been settled in Georgia by suppressing the Negro vote. It is only a pretense, a sham, an appeal to the prejudices of the ignorant voters. Hoke was the most famous of some laws which so many other South clan states have—illiteracy, grandfather clause, etc.—to shut out the Negroes. Of course the law itself would not shut out the Negro, but Hoke Smith promised that the trusts would under it manage to take in all illiterate white people and exclude even the literate Negroes. Not a white man, said Hoke, would lose his vote. Howell was a lie more honest, but the just man, Hoke, would have posed the law would exclude many thousand white illiterates, and he showed how under the present laws, and especially by means of the poll tax to be paid months after the election, Negroes had been successfully kept from the polls. He said nothing about the thousands of white men who failed to pay the poll tax. Then he made it the hotest kind of an argument against Hoke. Smith was the most senior under Cleveland he had given clerkships to a dozen Negroes, offices which white me might have held. It was a two-teddum matter between the two which should do the most to silence the Negro sort of law, or what sort of chicanery. But we do not think all this noise was very effective. It was the railroad question that told. Howell had had relations with the lawyer, brought against the railroads for damages. Then Hoke was so shrewd as to make an alliance with Tom Watson to clear perms in the Scenarioship. Now, Watson is the old Populist leader, and has a big following among the poor farmers of Georgia. He carried Georgia into the South American style. After the South American style. To be sure, Howell, who ran the old, Democratic ring, and a rule adopted which excluded Populists from the prosecution, the Populists soffed at him, and declared that they would vote anyhow—and they did. So the combination of Hoke Smith and Tom Watson was successful, and then they had to eat crow. Probably the election will have very little effect on politics, for it has been a personal fight and not one of principles put forth. It will be a riot, but probably nothing very effective. The Legislature may enact a law to exclude the Negro vote, but we doubt it. At any rate, both Hokie Smith and John Lewis have quit it, and the Negro quipped it, been ready to take advantage of the Negro vote, and Tom Watson would again if he thought he could get that vote—and why should he not? More than they are now, and they may be better. Every citizen should pay his taxes and offer his vote, and in time he will get it. Conditions are better in Mexico than they were, and they will be in Georgia. The day before the election Howell's paper published a cartoon entitled, "We were a fat figure marked 'Hypocrisy and Fraud' and 'Political Grave,' and surrounded by gravestones. It was meant to show how now carries an application, near home." ROKE'S IGNOBLE VICTORY. Made Appeal to Worst Passions and Prejudices of Georgia. From The Springfield Republican. Hoke Smith made the case in the Georgia Democratic primaries confer upon him no distinction which is enviable and upon the people of Georgia no reputation for desiring a deal with the North. The former Secretary of the Interior frankly made his appeal to the worst passions and prejudices of a. Southern white electorate, and shows how the state calculation is well grounded. "True, there was an antifederal issue brought into the campaign, and this must have decided many voters. It was a question of forcing upon the State authority to regulate the rate reduction which would give to Atlanta, an inland city, all the advantage of places enjoying water competition. But Hoke Smith made the lead in the franchise in hold of the Na- tional Constitution and the results of the war as empiled in our fundamental law. This issue was not forced upon the Democratic Party in major demonstrations, but was forced upon the people by the demagogic efforts of Smith and it is not particularly surprising under all the circumstances that they at it at that. The Negro is in a minority. George Washington has not been an organized force in politics for many years. There has been no threat or danger or prospect of Negro domination in that State and the fact is generally recognized: nevertheless, a generally negative history has made the basis of the Smith campaign, and the ex-Secretary went about the State declaiming upon the necessity of "putting the Negro out of business as a political factor" for Georgia for "and" for Iowa, and the Negro out of business as a political factor, or sweep away his political rights for good and all—if the Smith pledges are carried out; and carried out they evince prohibitions of the United States Constitution to the contrary notwithstanding. This is not meeting the race problem. It is a policy of avoidance against a day in the life of a person that can be made on that point, and it is lamentable in the extreme to find men like Smith leading into the ways of darkness and rather than toward justice and light. CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS DUPES. Marked by Bourbons During and Ever Since the War. From the Soldier's America. Every day, the Democratic ticket, every man who wins office, high or low, expresses an overflowing outcry for "the old Confederate soldier." This running over of affection for "the old Confederate soldier" always shows up, bubbles up, when the Democratic officekeeper is on the hunt for votes. The shrewd Democratic officekeeper justifies his vote for "the old Confederate soldier" and organizes a barbecue or all-day speaking with dinner on the ground. It is quite a coincidence that occasions of this kind are more common in Democratic primary election or are held in the meantime of a Democratic campaign. It is the theme, this year, in the Democratic sequence "the old Confederate soldier." These orators of the machine Democracy do not tell "the old Confederate soldier" that the great war in which they were engaged was a rich man's war and warriors are the sons of former slave owners of Democratic political bosses before the war, and some of them were of the slave owning oligarchy themselves. This party of Democracy was class ruled and ruling dominates the nation. Before the war the slave owning Democracy held the party whip and now the party lash is wielded by the progeny of the former slave owner. The speakers, who tell of their love for "the Confederate soldier," don't remind the poor white man of the fact that, when the great war was precipitated by the slave owning regime, the slave owner, who had a bare dozen slaves, was exempted from service in the war, the non-slave holding whites were partly in to the service of battle and death. MANY THANKS. From St. Mark's Mirror We wish to congratulate our esteemed friend and contemporary THE NEW YORK ACK, on the very fearless stand which it takes on all matters concerning the rights of the Afro-American. We wish there were the brain and backbone of Col. Fortune. The Civil War. from The Chicago Chronicle To a crowd of people who had been foolish enough to ask him to address them at Anderson, Ind. Sunday, Senator Tillman referring to our civil war, said: "There was no rebellion; It was simply a mean, bloody war between brethren got up in the North, and ought to have been prevented." The rebellion was opposed, "Mr. Tillman refers to Northern opposition to the extension of slavery on which the Southern slaveholding obigarchy was bent so much mistaken in saying there was no rebellion in the case. Northern opposition to slavery extension was merely an expression of the opinion and the flat of the United States took up arms to found an enemy with slavery as its cornerstone they engaged in rebellion not only against the rightful authority of the United States, but against civilization. Their armies were disbanded forty-one years ago, but those of them who dictate solid-South politics have been disbanded of civilization ever since and their resistance has not been altogether passive by any means. . He Never Falls. From the Springtime Republican The purpose of paying off the indebted- ness of some home borne Anacoste D. C., so that it may be made a living memorial to Frederick Douglas, is assumed by Booker T. Washington, in addition to his Tuskegee burden. He will devise the late fall and winter to coll- lection of the necessary money. And no doubt he will accomplish the undertaking, for he does not fall. Information for Vardaman From The Appeal to Reason Some kind friend should convey to Governor Vardaman the valuable information that it is better to be a black man than to be a black guard. GARS AS A BRISTOLIAN. Autocadon an Ender With a Lobby and Biggest Compass. www.autocadon.com From The New York Press. In a dispute over the choice of a reference for the $200,000 slugging carnival at Goldfield on Labor Day, one of the brunches, Quinn, uttered a complaint. Mr. Nelson's honesty of purpose, I have been told upon numerous occasions that he was a close friend of Nelson, and that he had repented with me still, I had been too old to make a good fight. Nelson's well known predication for rough-house fighting would probably go unobserved with man of older age. Nelson's agreement with the agreement of agreement stipulates that he should not separate the principle upon which Mr. Miller is past sixty years of age, he would likely vary ill忠话 many breaches of the rules on the part of Nelson that a younger and more active man would not permit. For these reasons I thought my mother and more objectionable to the return from Chicago. From the example of palliative controversy it would seem taut in the princefighter are combined the courtesy of a United States Senator, the tact of a United States Senator, the tact of a scholar and the judicial dignity of a member of the Supreme Court. Neither Mr. Bryan nor Secretary Root could have exceeded the delicacy or politeness of the proclamation from the colored language, which style reminds us of the language which is used in the mouth of his frivolous Cornelia: "I was surprised after the civilities of my first reception to find, instead of the leisure and tranquility which a rural life always promise, and, if well conducted, might be a pleasant and a tumultuous burry of diligence, by which every face was clouded and every emotion agitated." But we refuse to believe that it is merely an accomplished literary person who has been in a coarse and brutal encounter, wherein there will be no place for the niceties of phraseology. We rather lean to the belief that the author of the lofty and courteous composition which we have written is the winner of the savage and degrading combat which is about to disgrace the State of Nevada will be Gans. WATSON DENIES TOO. Says He Had Nothling to Do With Woodside Clanbake. I notice in Tirr. As a member of last week that my name appears as a member of a committee of arrangements for a clambake given by a supposed colored Republican club at Pauls Slip, Woodside, L. I. I have not given any authority to my name in the formation of a clambake with the intention of anything to do with the arrangements. Please publish this in your next issue Warnow, Warren Third Vice-president of the Republican Club of the City of New New York, August 31, 1906. VIRTUE OF CONTENTMENT. But It Doesn't Mean Turning the Other Check to Ever. Smiley. From The Southwestern Christian Advocate "More than any other one thing perhaps the Negro needs to be taught the philosophy of contentment. There are rakes in the road and there are people to be thankful for. Above and beyond all, if the Negro is not contented with the Negro's loot, he should at least learn the value and the virtue of living strictly within the Negro sphere, for, however alluring the road which leads up and away from the city, he should learn to suffer much suffering and unfuld disappointments and disasters, he should be to travel it. The Negro's desire must be worked out in the Negro's sphere, and the Negro should address himself to the task contentedly set forth in the advice of naked and dangerous leaders." The above paragraph is taken from the philosophic cogitations of the *The Times* Democrat of this city [New Orleans], whose continued deliverances on the race question have become famous, and whose continued deliverance and say that the Negro, as all men, should be taught the "philosophy of contentment." Contentment is the basis of happiness. But this does not mean that any belief that laws claim to humanity should openly confess prejudice against the former, to fix his status. Contentment does not mean that one should take everything that is offered in the way of insult and discrimination and tip the hat and the sword, and seek for the philosophy of contentment. We believe that there is a natural and individual place for every man and for every race that is all their own in this great drama of life; a place to be filled with the joy of life. We believe enough in predestination to hold that there is a purpose in the make of the Negro race, and this purpose will vindicate in his own time; it is in heaven. And the Negro's sphere all concerned. And in this we do not hold that it is an inferior position but a necessary position to the full and complete life of God's kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. And the Negro's sphere shall determine, but what the Negro shall determine by his own capabilities and the favors of Divine Providence. The great cause for the disturbance, unrest, disaffection and confusion of the white man attempts to settle the question without consulting any one else, constituting himself, as he does, the final arborer, when as a matter of fact, God must be reckoned with, and it must be so. If the white man is satisfied. If the white man of this country should be fair and big enough, without being frightened by the scarcrow of social equality, to form committees to consult with the Negro and adjust relations with the Negro, understandings would be easily avoided. No self-respecting man can accept a program for himself in the making of which he has not been consulted. Give the Negro the opportunity that that's the fair and honorable thing to do. If you are going to deterring the Negro's sphere, consult him on the subject. Hot One Handed to Tillman From The Chinese Chronicle Says Senator Tillman: "When the African can gets education he starts for the three-prescribing, politica or penitentiary." Perhaps. But he never gets to either the second or the third "p" if Senator Tillman and his friends can catch him on the way. In that case it is the bullet, the rope or the bonfire for the African. WHY DO WE PERSIST IN RISING! Don't We Know Bones or We Have Beheaded Us Beheaded to Perpetuity? To The Bottle of The New York Am: There is one thing I blame our people for, and that is that they prune in not staying in their place, i.e., the place Charles Carroll of "The Negro a Beast," Thomas Dixon, Senator Tillman, Governor Glenwood, Governor Davis and Davis of Arkansas, Mr. Thomas Page of Virginia, and their lik, have assigned us in perpetuity. Why will some of our people persist in being educated in the Negro church, only of Negro churches, but of world-wide white denominations as well? Why will they become generals in the army of the race, commissioned officers in the British international republic, scientific open painters, sculptors, captains in the mercantile marble, bankers, merchants, doctors, lawyers, planters with large crafts, ranches, artisans of various crafts and keepers of hotels and restaurants? We seem not to know that the place assigned us is that of servants, unlabeled manual laborers, shiftless drunkards, gamblers and criminals of all shades. One more thing I wish to say and I am done. Why is it that the educated, wealthy Nero, holding such positions as Governors of States, Lieutenant Governor of States, senators, judges of the United States, and State courts, minor State officials, doctors, lawyers, bankers, business men generally, wealthy land owner, ranchers, millionaires and even men who have been president and Vice-President of the United States of North America and have even gained that position, do cooly, deliberately murder each other with rife, shotgun, revolver and bow knife, thereby set up his or her his class. The Negro sets an awful example. Angelina—If I were to die to-morrow, dear, would you be very much upset?" Edwin- "I—should surely go mad." Angelina —Would you marry again?" Brown— No. I shouldn't be quite so mad as that!" —Jody (London). AFRO-AMERICAN VOTES OF WASHINGTON'S BEST TRIUMPH Honoring United States Secretary of the Interior Benjamin M. McCain Leader George M. Kiffin of the 9th Assembly district can bring up another trophy in his wigwam, for the union meeting Tuesday night at 4:30 Ninth avenue was certainly a hammer. About nine o'clock there came manning down about fifty men from the upper of the district, under the command of the George Lee Sanuel D. Stewart and Chuck McCormick force from the old 11th early period the large hall. Soon after Commissariat Windolph and the other speakers arrived. President Julius M. Watson introduced himself as the chairman of the meeting, and he briefly presented Mr. Windolph to the audience. Three cheers of great volume were given for him. His candidacy for leader, is uncontested, his former rival having got an acute attack of cold feet. The Afro-American votes and Mr. Keith, their leader, for their unflinching loyalty, and uttered his heartfelt gratitude to them for helping make his brilliant victory possible. He was followed by Mr. Edmund C. Lee, the venerable old Republican war horse of the district, who proceeded to adorn the shrinking brown of the Afro-American voters with oratory wreaths. Mr. Lee was filled by his Afro-American constituents. Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, who was to have spoken, was absent on account of illness, and his regrets were presented by Mr. T. Fortune. The Atoz A. a vote of sympathy to Mr. Fortune in his illness was moved by Mr. George Lee and carried by acclamation. The meeting was almost made a Fortune meeting by the many speakers who praised him. Mr. M. K. Chlum, Richardson, Stokes, Glicchrist Stewart and others. Mr. Stokes spoke briefly. He attributed the menacing conditions of the South to the Norse of the ballot, and reminded the Norse of the treasure value of this weapon which they hold. He urged that the 5th be made the banner district of the country so far as political recognition of the Afro-American voters be built up to a membership of 1,000. He congratulated the Afro-American voters on having a leader in Mr. Windolph who would look on their political ambitions with a friendly eye and assist them with a fervid speech which brought down the house. He said that Mr. Joeschoff quit because of the unfinishing support of Mr. Windolph by the Afro-American voters. Mr. Melvip J. Chism made a practical speech on playing politics which was valuable to all who heard it. Mr. Watson then spoke, and took occasion to deny everyone in the district to have reached he is ambitious to supplant Mr. Keith as leader.

Pathotic Romance Based on Sinister Laws Against Inter-marriage ATLANTA, Ga., August 30.—Over 3,500 Afro-Americans gathered at the "Big Belt" church on Auburn avenue last night to hear the annual address of Booker T. Washington, president of the National Negro Business League, which is holding its three-day convention of the Afro-Americans, its causes and remedies and the question of psychology was for the most part the theme of the address. The speaker declared that the criminals among the Afro-Americans were not representative of the race, and that it was the duty of the race to drive them out. He deplored the crimes committed about Atlanta recently and made the point that in no instance was it an act of violence against anyone who was guilty. He neglected the Afro-Americans to aid the white people in discovering the fugitives. He said that he could see no reason why the white people should "stain their hands with the blood" of the debased men who committed the crimes. The large church, seating over 2,000, was packed almost to suffocation. At every point in the space he spoke forth. Without the church, unable to even get within the doors, were 500 or more who waited, hoping that they might at last get in. His speech last night in full was as follows: "It is well that the National Negro Business League holds in session right here in the South of the Southwest, the body of our people live and where their salvation is to be worked out. This organization does not undertake to concern itself with all the interests of the Those was submitted to the District Court of the Ouachita district of Louisiana, at Monroe, a few days ago a suit of much importance in that part of the State and of romantic interest everywhere, says the New York Sun. It was the legal argument of the Filhioi against Tue Schmidt. The question at issue is whether a large estate, the most valuable in northern Louisiana, shall go to the legal heirs of its former owner or become the property of an octocean and her two illegitimate children. The Arkansas Hot Springs are claimed on behalf of the estate, but outside of that the property off the coast of the Bikioi is owned and nearly a million dollars. When it is considered besides that the Filhioi family is one of the most ancient and distinguished in Louisiana, that the estate includes heirships dating from the Spanish and French dominations, that all the property is claimed by a woman of Negro descent and that in the Ouachita district the race prejudice is in the case here, in the South, the interest taken in the case here will be understood. A few months ago Roland Filihol, the richest man in northern Louisiana, a descendant of that Don Juan Filihol who was once Governor of Upper Louisiana, and the owner of much land in Louisiana and Arkansas, died at his plantation in Ouachita. He was a bachelor, and his brother, Hardy Filihol, at once got the necessary order for the examination of his bank boxes in the hope of finding a wife. The will was found, but to the surprise of all, after leaving a plantation and some money to his brother and legacies to other relatives, it gave the bulk of the estate, amounting to some $800,000, to Inz Schmidt of New Orleans. No one in Quachita had ever heard of the woman and even in New Orleans no trace could be found of her, until a bright reporter one day discovered that the name of a woman living in the heart of the fashionable district of New Orleans was placed in her house, that "Miss Filihol Roland." He吉斯 the house and found a handsome young woman, who at once admitted that she was Inz Schmidt, the missing At first there was talk of a secret marriage, but inquiry soon disclosed the fact that although there were two children and although the letters of Roland Filihol to Inez breathed devoted affection—they were read in court and affected all those who heard them—the had been no marriage. Later the fact developed why this was the case. Although so subtle that very few persons detect any African blood in her, Inez is, under the laws of Louisiana, a Negress within the prohibited degree, and no marriage can be solemnized between a white and a Negro in Louisiana. The two went to Cincinnati some time ago intending, it is understood, to get married there, as there is no 'law against the intermarriage of the races' in Ohio; but the ceremony did not come off. The laws of Louisiana specifically provide that a marriage celebrated in another order to avoid the prohibitions of the Louisiana, Tad Filihol and Inez-married in Cincinnati the children would have remained illegitimate in the eyes of the Louisiana law. In the trial of the suit the District Judge refused to allow the introduction of any evidence as to the Negro blood of Ines, holding that her race or color had nothing to do with her claims, and that her title or lack of title to the property could not be affected by the fact that she was white or black. Much interesting evidence was then struck out, but there is practically no dispute as to the facts, and the story is as follows: Some were taken to a prepossessing room, Ieron by name, kept furnished rooms for men on Bourbon street near Kit, Louis, New Orleans, in the heart of Orleans New Orleans. Her rooms were over the shop of one of the most then, for there are other organizations that deal with the political, religious and human affairs of the people. "From the first, and I hope this meeting will prove no exception, the National Negro Business. Longer has steadily held to the policy of stimulating the activities of our people in the direction of agriculture industrial and business enterprise. It is the policy of this organization to hold up before the race its advantage rather than its disadvantage than its inferior; to call the attention of the world to the efforts of our friends rather than to those of our enemies. "We believe that while the world may only play a crying, whining race, it should respect it. In a word, the National Metro Business League, while not overlooking or justifying injustice or wrong or failing to recognize the value of other people, should be able to feel that the race can make, progress and secure the greatest protection by its efforts in progressive, conservative directions, by constantly presenting to the world tangible and visible evidences of our worth as a race. We believe that the influence of one great success in really accomplishing something both good and bad will be present in promoting our interests. Let constructive progress be the dominant note among us in every section of America. An inch of progress is worth more than a yard of fault-finding. The races that have grown strong and useful have not done so by depending upon finding fault with others, by failing to recognize the value of the progress in agriculture, industrial and business life, as well as through religious, educational and civic growth. "Right here in Georgia we have abundant evidence that the Negro, in spite of difficulties, in learning this lesson at a rapid rate. It is safe to say that the Negro in Georgia owns at least $20,000,000 worth of taxable property, and that our people in other sections of the South have made almost equal progress. Within the past year I have inspected and studied the conditions and progress of our people in the Northern Alabama before, and I have hesitation in reaffirming my former opinion that the Southern States offer the best permanent abode for the masses of our people. While many individuals may find prosperity outside of the South and have the right to make the effort, yet laying the foundation for growth in life essentials, which this organization seeks first of all to promote, I know no section of famous of carnival costumes, a few doors from the French opera, and convenient to the many excellent French restaurants in the quarter. It was a central and convenient location on the colon and sugar planters visiting New Orleans during the 19th century who preferred comfort and freedom to the crowded hotels. Among those who lodged there was Roland Filihi, at that time a bachelor of orty and fond of city life and city pleasures. There he met the dark eyed but creamy skinned young woman who kept the house, and the two friends. The lionism was kept secret. Fearing that their relations would become known if Inez continued to keep her lodging house, Filihi bought and furnished for her a handsome home on Second street near St. Charles avenue, where she lived quietly as Mrs. Roland, her position and being wholly unsuspected by the neighbors or by Filihi's friends in Ouachita. Two children were born of this union and Rolfin Filohi, who was devoted to Inez and to them, evidently thought of marrying her and thereby legitimizing them. They wont to Cincinnati, where "I. M. Filohi, lady, (two children and nurse)," the clerk did not like the word "lady" and insisted upon Filohi's changing it to "wife," and this change constituted an important point of evidence as tending to show that she and Filohi lived publicly as man and wife, in the hotel register was none other than Inez's own mother. The father, Schmidt by name, married the mother during the period of Republican and Negro ascendency in Louisiana, 1863-1878, when marriages between whites and Negroes were legal. The lawyer, who was the lawyers found that her mother, the old mamma or nurse in the Cincinnati register, was Laure or Laura, a quadron of Thibodaux, La., who married Blumenthal Schmidt, a Hebrew. The mother of Laura was Lorette Thibodaux, a chocolate color malaque, and a slave of a black slave alive and living at Bass Christian Miss. While the lawyers for the Filibih heirs were investigating Inez's family history they came across another of those pathetic incidents that creep out in cases of mixed white and Negro blood, for the mother was not only willing to figure the colored nurse of her own grandchildren, but she vigorously denied that she was the mother of her own and that her own has been heard and which Cable has made the basis of one of his best creeole stories. Laura declared that Inez was not her daughter, but was the illegitimate daughter of a purely white mother and of unmixed white blood and ancestry. This mother, being unmarried, had confided her daughter to the quadron woman and then disappeared never to return, and Laura and her husband had adopted and taught up their child as a girl. It is perhaps needless to say that there was not a word of truth in the story nor was it pressed by the young woman herself, who refused to accept her mother's proposed sacrifice. The case does not turn on the race question in any way and the Judge refused to allow the introduction of any evidence learning on the subject, and asked that the blood, in Filippi's word, in Filippi would, judging from his letters, have married the woman had not the law prevented him from doing so. The case hangs on the Question. Did Roland Filippi live in open compliance with Inez Schmidt? If he did she can in her favor, but if she did not, the entire fortune goes to her. The evidence was largely in her favor on this point, with the exception of the Cincinnati incident. None of Filippi's evidence was admissible, even the confidential secretary, know of the existence of Inez Schmidt. On the this country where our people are making mean, progress and where the Future is more full of promise than right here in the South. In then expressing myself, I do not overblame the fact that we have a large number of Negroes in the North and Worries process is in the highest level of the civil war, and we are credible to do so in the South which often dis- curse many of our people. criminal Negro is gotten rid of whenever possible. Making all allowances for mis- taken, injustice, and the infliction of ra- cal prejudice. I have no hesitation in maying that one of the elements in our prevent situation that gives me most con- sideration is the hard work that we are being committed by members of our race. The Negro is committing too much crime North and South. We should see "In connection with our future here in the South, I do not share the fears that immigration will retard or prevent our program. The millions of unoccupied and unused space in the South have yet to be secured by the uncertainties of all forms of labor upon which business prosperity in a large measure runs, cannot always remain un satisfied. A thousand strong, sturdy, thrifty foreigners in each county will go far toward quickening our energy and sharpening our wits, by bringing their healthy competition which is very much needed in many sections of the South. Our military forces must keep us from to keep another race out of territory, but in our learning to get as much out of the soil, out of the occupations, or business, as any other race can get out of theirs. "The more I study our conditions and needs, the more I am convinced that there is no surer road by which we can reach civil, moral, educational and religious development than by laying the foundation of a moral, educational and religious soil, the saving of money, commercial growth and the skillful, conscientious performance of any duty with which we are entrusted. This policy does not mean the limiting or circumscribing of the activities or ambitions of the race. Progress through this method means the exercise of patience, faith, courage and self-confidence from it. It is the road that all nations have, traveled, which have gotten, upon their fleet. "There is much that the brave, intelligent, patriotic white men of America can do for us; there is much that we can do for ourselves. The executive-authorities should see to it that every law is enforced, and that the weak are protected against injustice from the strong. We have examples in several Southern States that this is being done in an encouraging degree. Without this encouragement and protection of the law it is not possible for the Negro to be as a laborer, or in any line of business. "On the Negro's part we have a duty. Our leaders should see to it that the other hand, this secrecy was violated at Cincinnati, where he registered with her as his wife; and once, it secures, he made the mistake of having her visit him at his Ouachita home, although as a pre- cautionary measure, he sent the servants away, that none might be her there. Will the Filihol fortune and the Filihol homely relics of a proud family pass into the hands of an octoroon? it would make Don Juno turn in his grave. A descendant of a line of warriors and statesmen, he was driven out of Haiti during the Negro insurrection and came to Louisiana. There a tender of his services was accepted by Don Estesan Miro, then the Spanish Governor of colony, and he was placed in command of the Ouachita and Arkansas districts as Governor of Upper Louisiana. He received from the Spanish Govern- rium immense grants of land, including the Springs, which De Soto had searched for as the Fountain of Youth and which were known at the time he acquired them as "The Devil's Hot Spouts." The property is now held by the Federal Government. It was sold by Filihol, but he claimed to have repurchased it, and this claim was strongly supported by the testimony of Julien Poydras, first Congressman from Louisiana. The question of ownership is still open and the Filihol claim is before Congress. The Filihol heirs held the land to the land in Bluff, Ark, as belonging to their ancestor in Filihol, and having been granted by Governor Miro, which claim, after a careful investigation by Congress, was allowed. A similar ruling in the Hot Springs case and a decision in favor of Inez Schmidt in the suit now before the Onuchita court would give her possession of the greatest health resort in America and property running up into the millions of dollars. Don Juan Filihol died in 1821, at the age of 81. His son, Edmund Landry Montgomery Filihol, married Aurora Roland of New Orleans. The grandson of Don Juan was Jean Baptiste Filihol, who two sons, Roland and Haiti N. Filihol, in whose name the suit has been brought to out Inez Schmidt as executrix and legatee of the property. The Filihol house is rich with furniture brought from France and Spain 150 years ago, with portraits of the Filihols and their connections and branches, with the medals and decorations that they won in the service of Spain. One of these relics, of which Don Juan was intensely proud, is not there, however, a sword presented to him by the King of Spain which, when the rule of Spain ended in Louisiana, presented to the civil authorities of Ouachita, as the first symbol of power and government in that territory. That sword hung in the court room where the legal contest took place over the Filihol property. If Inez lives the children will be in a remarkable social position. By the laws of nearly all the Southern States a person who is fifteen-sixteenths white and one-sixteenth Negro is a white person, the race distinct being carried legally no further than the octoon. Therefore the children are white legally. Socially, however, sufficient to contain and with all their wealth it would be impossible for these children to reside in the Filihol place and live on terms of intimacy with their neighbors. Indeed, when Inez Schmidt went to Montreux to testify, in the case she could find no white person willing to take her in as a borderer and would have been compelled to seek quarters among the Ninnes had not a Catholic priest found a place for her. It is an open secret, therefore, that if the Philip fortunes descend to her she will seek in Europe a house where the race distinction is not preserved to the fourth and fifth generation, as in Louisiana. criminal Negro is getting rid of whatever possible. Making all allowances for mistaken, injustice, and the influence of racial prejudice. I have no hesitation in saying that one of the elements in our present situation that gives me most concern is the large number of crimes that are being committed by members of our race. The Negro is committing too much crime North and South. We should see it, as far as our influence extends, that crimes should be condemned, whereas the race will permanently commit the crime of lynching everywhere and at all times should be condemned, and those who commit crimes of any nature should be condemned. Our Southland to-day has no greater enemy to business progress than lynchers and those who provoke lynchings. "In this same connection let us bear in mind that every man, white or black, who takes the law into his own hands to lynch or burn or shoot human beings supposed to be or guilty of crime, is insulting the executive, judicial and law-abiding bodies of society. The lynchings lessen in one direction will inevitably lead to lawlessness in other directions. This is the experience of the whole civilised world. "In this connection let us consider the classes of Negroes that do not with crime. They are those who own homes, who are taxpayers, who have a trade or other regular occupation; they are those who are in professional service; those who have received education, and such business men and women as those, who compose this organization." I think I would be safe in saying that no graduate of Clark University, Atlanta Baptist College, Atlanta University, Morris Brown College or Spelman Seminary has been arrested for any crime in Atlanta during the last twelve months. "In this we have a strong, practical demonstration right here at home in favor of education of all classes of our citizenship. Ignorance will always mean crime, and crime will mean the biggest factor in the rock of the Squith. The only safety for both races is in the direction of education, industry and high character. "I have named the classes that do not commit crime. Which is the class that is guilty, as a rule, of criminal action? They are the boaffers, the drunkards and gamblers, men for the main part without permanent employment, who own no homes, who have no bank account, who have no interest in any one spot. One of the practical courses that men such as these who compose this Business League, our leaders in the pulpit and every sphere of life, should pursue, is to try to get hold of the floating class of our people and see to it that their lives are so changed as to make them cease to disgrace our race and disturb our civilization. We cannot be too frank or too strong in our crimes and disgrace of crime is doing to our race. We stand up straight and speak out and act in no uncertain terms in this direction. Let us do our part, and then let us call upon the whites to do their part. "Let us never grow discouraged as a race: Right here in the South there are more times upon which the races agree than upon which the whites agree. But the much absorbed in our grievances that we fall to remember our successes and opportunities. "In the Southern States the Negro has organized and is now conducting thirty three banks. He has in the United States over one hundred drug stores. Almost every town and city in the South has its Negro grocery store and other places of commerce, and nearly so in all of the South where the Negro farmer, mechanic, merchant and hanker cannot find encouragement, opportunity and prosperity. In this respect let us not overlook the fact that many similar opportunities are at our door. "At a very conservative figure the Negro is now paying taxes upon over $500,000,000 worth of property—and I am sure the Negro imitates other races in not always paying taxes upon all of his belongings. "What we have accomplished in the post, in the face of many difficulties, is a guarantee of what we can attain to in the future. "Finally, let us cultivate a spirit of racial pride. Let us learn to be as proud of our race as the Frenchman, German, Frenchman, German, German. The race that has faith and pride in itself will eventually win the respect, the confidence and cooperation of the rest of the world." TILLMAN SAYS WASH AMENDMENTS ARE MERE BITS OF WASTE PAPER And That South Has Shotsguns Enough to Carry Its Elections ANDERSON, Ind., August 30.—In one of his characteristic addresses at the Spiritualist camp Sunday afternoon, Senator Ben Tillman of South Carolina wielded the lash on the Negro question. He flagged Indiana representatives in Congress for what he called foolish agitation for the punishment of Southerners for not allowing the Negro to have his own way in government. "Damnable hypocrites" the epithet applied to the Republicans for the fight for equality. Gesticulating frantically the Senator declared that there are enough Negroes in the South to outvote the whites on any question if they were allowed to vote. He declared that there were shotguns enough in the South to carry the election for the Democrat, however. A heavy downpour of rain interrupted the meeting of his address and his persecution had to be delivered while standing under an umbrella. He stated that that he was glad that slavery was dead and gone and that he also wished that the Negroes in this country were also dead and gone. After dwelling on a few other topics for a short time he quoted a few statistics in which he said that there were in the United States at present time 20,000,000 Negroes, and in that time 10,000,000 Negroes in the States of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida to carry these States by an enormous majority if they were allowed to have their way, but he said, "In behalf of the white people of the South I say to you that as long as I live we will see them in hell before we will but them have their way. "The States of South Carolina and Mississippi are being especially overrun with Negroes and, although the law gives the Negroes the rights as the Caucasians in this country, they would never have them in the South." He made the statement that the people of the South considered the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments as mere pieces of paper and a bit wasted ink. COUNCIL TO AID SOLDIERS The mass meeting called by the Committee of One Hundred of the Afro-American Council on the evening of August 20 at the pretty Metropolitan Union Hotel solved itself into an indignation meeting against the reported decision of the Federal Government to hand over to the local authorities at Brownsville, Texas, a militia of American soldiers who killed white men of that town and badly injured another. This surreender of the Afro-American soldiers would mean their abandonment to certain death. The prejudiced white judges and juries would consider neither evidence, fact nor law; and the soldiers, whether they shot in self-defense or whether they shot at all, would be violently and hastily be hanged, if they were not lynched beforehand. To deliver them up to their enemies thus would be nothing less than a crime. These arguments were advanced by ferrid speakers like Dr. George Frasier Hillier, J. Douglas Wetmore, Glicchier Stiller, J. Douglas Wetmore, Glicchier Stiller, J. Douglas Wetmore, H. McMullen. On motion Mr. Wetmore, J. H. McMullen, appointed a committee on ways and means to prevent the sacrifice to race prejudice of the soldiers of the 26th Infantry. This committee met the next afternoon at Mr. Wetmore's office and framed a strong letter to Secretary Loeb requesting information as to the plans of the Tar Department and the courtesy of Interior President. The committee represents both the Council and the Niagara Movement. The meeting was called to order by Rev. Fernandez, pastor of the church, who praised the growing spirit of self-help which is springing up in the Afro-American people to meet the rapidly-worstening conditions which menace them. He gloriously introduced Mr. Wetmore as the only man who ever made a South-American place to declare a "Jim Crow" law unconstitutional. Mr. Wetmore, whose humor and frankness enliven his serious remarks, always make him an engaging speaker, outdid himself in painting the grave and threatening conditions at the South. Mr. Stewart made a very stirring speech in behalf of the endangered Afro-American regulars, and Rev. Miller and Rev. McMullen took the audience with them. A collection of nearly twelve dollars was raised for the local committee. A president of the Afro-American Council, is sending out the following "Special Appeal to Liberty Loving Negroes in All Parts of the United States"; Bishop Walters' Appeal. The tremendous meeting held by the Afro-American Council in New York city, July 25th, 1906, is an indication of the growing resentment against the injustices perpetrated daily upon Afro-Americans of this country, and is a hopeful sign on our part that we mean to do something efface the regain the rights which we have lost. Secretary of War, Mr. Taft, in his address, Greenboro, N. C., a few days ago, declared that the schemes adopted to disfranchise illiterate Afro-Americans without excluding illiterate whites will not stand the test of the Fifteenth Amendment. Chief among such schemes is the "grandfather" clause now operative in several of the Southern States. Independent Justice Prover. of the United States has said that the reason the Constitution—of the South if ever properly brought before the Supreme Court must be declared unconstitutional, and has expressed his astonishment that the Afro-American people have never effectively utilized this remedy which lies in reach of their hands. Our duty is to organize, secure funds, employ able talent, white and black, and knock out the "grandfather" clause at home, helps it to help themselves." If we obtain from the Supreme Court an opinion that the "grandfather clause" is illegal—a victory which profoundly important as it would be, we can by standing together achieve—such a manifestation of prosperous enterprise would thrill the North, and again insist its sympathies with us, and at the same time strike dismay into those Southern politicians who are fattening on the race problem and count their wealth. We believe we shall never have manhood enough to drag them face to face with the Federal Constitution. Opportunity Time for Organization. The need of a strong organization through which to make our fight should be apparent to all lovers of the race who know the worth of a united effort through organization. The condition makes it incumbent upon our leaders—ministers, teachers, lawyers, doctors, business men and newspaper men—to lead off in this organization and prepare to fight these injustices to death. A local Council is needed now in every village, town and hamlet in the land. Our Plan of Organization: Any person who has sufficient interest in the race can send invitations to leading Afro-American citizens who are interested in the amelioration of our present condition, to meet in some private house church or talk according to the rules of the church. If he is not the sensible and are willing to subscribe to the following objects they can be organized into a local Council: 1. To investigate and make an impartial report of all lynchings and other outrages perpetrated upon Afro-Americans. 2. To assist in steering the constitutionality of laws which are made for the purpose of oppressing Afro-Americans. 3. To promote the work of securing legislation which will secure to all the individual States shall secure to all citizens the rights guaranteed to them by the XIIth, XIVth and XVth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States. 4.

"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS." Wouldn't Tell Brother Why He Slashed Trouble With Knife. PHILADELPHIA. September 3.—William Anderson, an Afro-American, thirty-one years old attempted to commit suicide at his home, 1015 Lemon street, this morning by putting his throat in the potato knife. He baked his throat in the Washington hospital, where he is in a serious condition. Anderson was employed as a waiter in a saloon at Franklin and Race streets. All day yesterday he seemed in a good humour. This morning after his wife defended for him, he opened the door to his brother, Samuel, and bid him good-bye, saying he was going to work. On his way downstairs later Samuel foed his brother's door locked. As this was strange he peeped over the tranSMON and there saw William on the door with a knife. He burst open the door and asked his brother bad tried to end his life. The answer was "None of your business." Personally Known of Five Victims Who Were Innocent. MONTGOMERY, Ala., August 30.—Governor Jelks of this State in a recent address uttered the following severe indictment against the crime of lynching: "I five years ago, when I began my services in the Governy, the office I was confronted with a lynching of the counties in this State. It was an unprovoked murder of an absolutely innocent man. A brave judge and a brave solicitor, with the help of some special counsel furnished by the administration, convicted something like a half down of the self-constituted guardians of the law, sent them to the penitentiary. The greetness of this triumph of the law, estated and halted, and almost went out of business. "When I had been in the Governor's office three years, I carefully inquired into the facts of every one of the five lynchings that had taken place. It emphasized you to know that out of the first time an innocent dead death at the hands of a criminal were without offence before the law "In respect to the crime of lynching, we may take heart in the fact that our people are improving. In 1892 there were as many as twenty-one lynchings in the United States through with one. In five years of this institution there have probably been not exceeding twelve deaths by mobs." "Are any of the persons lynched by the mobs white? Oh, no. They have the blood of Africa in their veins. The men who have been lynched at white men. All parties agree that we ought not to lynch white people." "There is more or less contempt felt by some people for the books which record the conclusions of our conventions and legislatures, and even the acts of our own courts. A man who feels so is good citizen. Freach the doctrine that good citizens should be in chaos, and that only the people that humbly bow to the statutes and submit to them, can hope to have a land in which peace may permanently dwell. Whip the thief in the high places or low, places with the scorn of your contempt. If the penalty for murder is to be capital punishment, let's see to it that men of influence shall suffer as those who are possess. In all such a peculiar crime, let I pet the graffers where the beasts steal one dollar is an offense against the statutes let's see to it that the theft of fifty thousand is a crime of larger degree."

We quote the following from The Constitution of Wednesday, August 22, immediately after the primary election: "After more than a year of unrest, the end of the longest and most bitter campaigns ever waged in Georgia is here, and the verdict has been rendered." It was the greatest political storm we have ever witnessed, and just as one would do after a great cyclone had subsided, to see what damage had been done, how many killed, injured or wounded, so it seems to us that it would be well for us to look around and survey the situation and see how severely we have been wounded politically and civilly. To ascertain exactly how much we are affected by this campaign, we must know what the primary system is, and its object and purpose. The primary system in Georgia means a selection of candidates for the various State offices, and to all intents and purposes, conducted like an election. It is the expression of choice on the part of one of the political parties of the men in their ranks who are to stand for election to fill the various offices in the State. Every party has this same right, to hold its primary, and determine who shall be the officers of their choice. And after this choice has been made, all the members of that party are bound by its rule to cast their ballot in the regular election for the nominee so selected. Now, if there is only one party, it is evident that the selection of that one party would mean an election, because they have no opposition party. Hence, we see that the selection in Wednesday's primary, that Hoke Smith, who was then selected as the choice of the Democratic party, is our next Governor. This is all the worse for the Negro, because he is entirely excluded on account of his race, from participating in the whole election. Now, he has been chosen whose awarded purpose is to see that the Negro is disfranchised. Now, we have a majority of the citizenry who have endorsed and ratified his policy. It means that the State of Georgia has put herself on record to ignore the amendments to the Constitution, which forbid any State from depriving any citizen from voting, on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. We had thought that there was one State in the Southern section that might be counted upon to stand up for the political and civic rights of all her citizens without regard to race or color. But, alas! we find that we were sadly mistaken. Georgia, the Empire State of the South, has joined all of her sister Southern States in this outrage against her colored citizens, who have helped to make her great, prosperous and glorious. Many of these old backmen and women are living today who guarded their wives and daughters when they were away to rivet the shackles more tightly around their ankles. What ingratiate! What a striking example of "man's inhumanity to man." We are also informed that the purpose is to lend scarcity as much as possible Negro education, so that he may be too ignorant to know how to cast his vote, or to know his rights. It seems to us that it is an impeachment of the wisdom and benevolence of an All wise Creator. The very fact that He has given us the capacity for education, and the burning desire for civil and political rights should leave no room for doubt that He intended that we, in common with all other races, should enjoy and exercise the God-given blessing as fully and freely as any other people. But since He has endowed us with these inalienable rights, it is the duty of the leading men of our party in this State to call a primary and nominate candidates for the various offices, from Governor or down to a bailiff, instead of complaining of the white Democratic primary excluding us from their councils. We should not complain when we have the same right to hold our primary. It has always seemed to us that this great hue and cry on the part of our leaders against the Democratic primary, was an excuse to do nothing. The whole purpose is to throw dirt in the people's eyes to shield their own hypocrisy. We P. SHIRIDAN BALL, PRESIDENT READ NOW And go to Plainfield.

The third class is thoroughly Caucasian in appearance. They are graceful, graceful, and withal talented. They are inexorably ostracised from white society and usually die young. The War Department by order of the President of the United States has removed: the Twenty-fourth Infantry (colored) from Brownsville, or more properly speaking from Fort Brown Texas, to Fort Reno, Oklahoma. By the same authority, it has placed two colored soldiers and one discharged colored soldier in Fort Sam Houston, Texas, to await the action of the Texas authorities, who have sworn out warrants against them, charging them with murder although they have no evidence on which to base such a charge. It looks like an attempt to get into their power men without rides, who but a short time before were men with rifles. The coward's is unofficially announced that the death penalty was needed the colored soldiers guilty of the rape. If the Texas authorities get hold of them, such announcement is unnecessary. The War Department has certainly acted along the most conservative lines. The Texans now find that the border should be guarded, yet they were insult- should make it so warm for them that they will either do something or get out. The situation calls for prompt action. Let every Negro paper and every leading man who belongs to the party, insist upon immediate action. We may urge upon our people to pay taxes and register as much as we will, but as long as the leaders of the party are inactive and indifferent and discourage the expedition of putting out a State ticket, so long will the masses remain dependent and discouraged and fail to qualify. Let us be up and doing. Let us not forget that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, and as we have said before, "the God of our fathers who heard them in the days of slavery, will hear them in their children, and defend our cause; right our wrongs, redress our grievances, and we shall take our place among the great civilized races of the world." AS WHITE MEN SEE US. Groteque and Funny Classification of O'Malley's From The New York Times An article on "The Negro Brain," by Robert Bennett Bean, M. D., in the September Century Magazine, demonstrates that in black races the brain, judged by Caucasian standards, is deficient in both white and gray matter, and less developed in the frontal region than is requisite for ample power of judgment and self-control. Dr. Bean's study at clearances of thousands of Northern and Southern Negro individuals, with selective brain measurements, has led to a verification of types showing most and least promise of benefiting by American civilization. Of the Southern group of three racial classes, constituting the majority of American Negroes, the lowest is the Hortontot, or Bushman, type, squat of stature, with gray or old yellow skin resembling rough varnished oak, prognathous jaws, and extremely long heads containing probably the smallest brains of all human beings. This class is comparatively rare except in the worst sections of Southern towns. The next higher type, and the most ancient, most classical, and most numerous, is the low-class Guinea coast Negro, of short but well-knit build, beautifully white with flesh, from a reddish, yellowish, or bluish black to jet black. This type produces good laborers, under compulsion. The best, though a less numerous, class is the redubtable Fuzzy-wuzzy, the "big black badden" beggar, who "drink a British square." The Sudanese Negroes are comparatively handsome, fall, with well-proportioned limbs and a long face. They are adding the South in its No forfeiture of payments will or lack of employment, if reported in person or by mail, provided employment does not become permanent. HOME Man Park.

He is still at it with edibles—in Pullman dining cars, hotels, cafes, and in occupations demanding generally a minimum of exposure. Before coming North he served the Virginia grandest. He may boast ancient Arabian blood, as the Zulus and kindred Bantu tribes represent a strain of the Hamfic and Semitic peoples grafted on the Negri.

The white citizens at Brownsville have suddenly become "angels" and the colored troops the devils incarnate.

In Memoriam. Sacred to the memory of Joshua P. Sharp who departed this life September 2, 1905. He was the first man to age to day. And I remember well. It seems to me like yesterday. When I was a child, he was my father. His devoted wife, Elizabeth. New York, September 2, 1906. If Baby is Cutting Teeth. Proof Reader, Shipping Check and Private Secretary Win Our. Chicago, August 31—One of the most interesting and hopeful signs of the times is that many of our young colored men and women are winning their way into positions and calling plains not intended for them. The bar minister that seems aware of all these all times raised against the ambitions and aspirations of young Afro-Americans, is in there and now and then lowered, in the presence of certain personalities that fuse to recognise the divine right of any one race perpetually to win over another in the world of common and enlarging opportunities. Many of our young people are developing a force of character, as a winsome personality that, are going fast, keeps stepping aside all opposition based merely on an unreasoning prejudice. Some interesting instances illustrating this point have come to light recently, in Chicago. A young Afro-American of this city, Mr. Louis White, for several years had held a position as "proof reader" in one of the largest printing establishment in Chicago. It was freely acknowledged by his company to associate that he had few equals in his work, and he had been with this firm since 1905. Some weeks ago a general strike was called in the establishment where he was employed. Being a member of the union Mr. White went out with the rest. It was confidently predicted by his friends in writing to the increase of prejudice in printing in White could never resume his trade as "proof reader." However, he never allowed himself to tak such a gloomy view of his prospectus. He made bold to apply for a position in the printing office of one of the largest newspapers in the city. Without waiting for life or "ands" or "I am sorry, the man will all leave at your approach." young White demanded a solely on his merit. "If you know does not give complete satisfaction, I will not ask to remain." To the credit of the office, the managers decided to risk the consequences of such an innovation as giving an Afro-American a place in one of the most important branches in the printing service. As a result the excellence of his service was assured for him a permanent position, and he is now one of the prized men in the limited force of "proof readers." In one of the largest ultra-fashionable tailoring establishments may be found a young Afro-American named Williams. His position is that of shipping and stock clerk. His position is one of great responsibility and his treatment by his position and owners of the business is such as his position and ability demand. Young Williams are a porter in this establishment, his wages being $3 per week. He now enjoys a salary of $1,000 per year. In one of the Trust Company's Banking houses, a young Afro-American named Jackson has just been promoted to a clerkship in the bond department. This is the first and only position of the kind he by an Afro-American in Chicago. Mr. Williams is a man of fine inners, carrying himself with confidence as of one born of a family of bankers. In the largest wholesale and retail corkery store in Chicago, where scores of men and women of all grades of ability and responsibility are employed, there can be seen a solitary young Afro-American woman, Mrs. S. J. Evans, acting the part of expert stonographer and confidential clerk of one of the proprietors of the establishment. She has charge of all the confidential correspondence of the house, and has authorized asserts that her position has accordingly be filled, so thoroughly has she secured all the intricacies of the large and growing business. Everybody esteems her because she deserves it. Yet when this young woman applied for the position her employment was regarded as an impossibility, less; it might cause an upheaval among the working force of the house. But, with the aid of friends who knew her worth and who insisted that she be taken a trial, she secured the position, and assumed responsibility and marked efficiency have assumed for permanent necessity of employment as well as the confidence and respect which must go far toward helping others who are pleading to be judged by their fitness and ability. In these and other ways, the present generation of young Afro-Americans is making impossible opportunities possible and vindicating their right to be a part of whatever is best in American life. SOUTHERN BUSINESS MAN ON CONDITIONS SOUTH "There is no race issue in New York, from a Southernist's standpoint. The Negro and white man are getting along very well." He was asked about the immigrant question, and said: "There was a security in labor and the white man employed Italian labor. A little later the Italian labor that the Italian们 were not what they were. First they demanded a higher salary which the farmers refuse to concede, and there was much dissatisfaction between both parties. In the first place, cotton would not pay the salary that the Italian demanded, and the Italian labor is not the labor for cotton. They were driven from the farms, because the farmers were dispossessed." "Do the tax paying men vote?" "In my County there are 9,000 colored people and only about 60 can vote. In my city alone there are 6,000 and only about 60 can vote, that is those who hold property." MANHATTAN CASINO 8th Avenue and 155th Street 50 CENTS OFFICERS—Rev. H. C. Bishop, Warden; C.

Washington's annual address before the National Negro Business Men's League, Wednesday night, at Big Bethel A. M. E. church, Atlanta. Georgia, was one of the oldest that came from human lips. He held his audience spellbound for an hour and a half, and one would have been more than glad if he had continued an hour and a half longer. The personality of the man is something wonderful and mysterious. There is something charming in his unpretentiousness, unlike most great men, he is absolutely free from the alles of affectation. His simplicity and a sense of language carry the great thought when he conceives direct to the heart and convince his hearts and carry them with him in spite of themselves. His subjects are always suitable for the occasion, and grow out of the immediate conditions that are now confronting the people. Incorporated August 8th, 1895 MARRIED.
