Walters and Derrick Issue Letter Backing His Candidacy. HIS FATHER PRAISED Cormelius Van Cott a Man Like Lincoln and Roosevelt—Fight in the 25th An address to the Afro-American voters of the 25th Assembly District urging them in the most fervent terms to support the candidacy of Hon. Richard Van Cott for leader, has been signed and named by Bishop Alexander Walters-of the A. M. E. church, Bishop Darrick of the A. M. E. church, Rev. T. Wellington Henderson, pastor of the great Bethel church in West-25th street; Rev. E. E. Jackson, the hustling pastor of Elon Baptist church, and Mr. Rush Simms, whose name is well known in local politics. As was inevitable, the petition, signed by men of such popularity and framed in such burning terms, is contributing considerably to the chances of the success of Mr. Van Cott's candidacy. The petifour first demands of the voters: If Abraham Lincoln, or President Roosevelt had sons who were candidates, would anything on God's earth stop the Afro-American voters from voting for them? It continues that Cormelius Van Cott, a race friend in the same class with Lincoln and Roosevelt, has a son, a child of gold, and a sonning for leader of the 25th, and that all the Afro-American voters, if they want to stand by those who stood by them in time of need, must support young Mr. Van Cott. The petition declares that the elder Van Cott did more in his time for the Afro-American voters than did any other two Republicans in the county. He was always foremost in demanding that the Afro-American should have his full recognition in every branch of the political administration. After Afro-American states the petition, it was discovered that Cornelius Van Cott appointed eighty Afro-Americans to political positions with an aggregate salary of $40,400 a year put into the pocket of black men. Mr. Richard Van Cott, who is till young, has nevertheless striven faithfully to execute his father's orders and will undoubtedly do so before long. He has filled thirty-one places with Afro-Americans, with aggregate salaries of $21,700 a year. "Now it is up to you, the voters of the 26th Assembly District," concludes the petition, "to do some thinking and voting." Mr. Van Cott's official mathematicians figure out that he can't possibly lose in the primaries. In that part of the district south of 14th street they concede 400 votes out of a probable vote of 1,900. In the part north of 14th street, they count on a small majority for Mr. Van Cott. NEWMAN RIGHT CANDIDATE IN 26TH ASSEMBLY DISTRICT Has Given Equal Treatment to Afro-American Voters. Mr. Isaac Newman, who is running for re-election as leader of the 26th Assembly District, a position he has held for 13 years, has always been friendly to the Afro-American voters of his district, who have received from him the same treatment as his white constituents. As a consequence they have always lined with him and will do so again this year. His opponent, Mr. Samuel Krulewitch, never belonged to the district organization nor taken any active part in polling. He is thoroughly insperienced and in whose hands the safety of the an organization in the 26th jeopardized. The Afro-Americans, from all indications, will better part and support Mr. WOODROFF'S BROOKLYN CLUB DENUNCES GOV. HIGGINS aye He's Been Recruit in Duty to Afro-American Voter.

C., September 7.—George Genelle, who has been held without bond on a charge of murder since the triple lynching here on the night of August 6 last, was acquitted of jailbreak after the jury had been out to night fifteen minutes. Genelle boasted on the night of the lynching that he died the rope around the waist of the mute lynched; but since then he has stoutly denied participating in the lynching. He is still in custody, and may be tried for murder. So there could be no technical ground for escape, the Grand Jury to-day reindicted the wife of one of the mob's victims and two other Afro-Americans who were to have been tried with the men who were lynched. DETAILED BY CENSUS OFFICE TO COLLECT SPECIAL DATA Two Sent to-Chicago for Statistics on Divorce. WASHINGTON, D. C., September 10.—It is announced that Charles E. Hall, an Afro-American of Illinois, a clerk in the census office, has been detailed to go to Chicago to collect data for the investigation now in progress on the divorce question. It is said that Rupert A. Phidian, an Afro-American of Michigan, is to be similarly detailed. This detail is a matter of some consequence because of the fact that no Afro-American has been sent into the field by the census office. A detailed information, although a number have sought to be detailed. Mr. Hall is a protege of Senator Hopkins of Illinois, and it is safe to say that he owes his detail to this responsible position to the good offices of Illinois' junior Senator. BALTIMORE HAS NEW LAW SCHOOL FOR APO-AMERICANS B. P. Lester President of Department of Christ's Institution. BALTIMORE, September 10.—The Medical, Chirurgical and Theological departments of Christ's Institution, have decided to fill a long-felt want on the part of the Afro-American citizens of Baltimore by the establishment of a law department. Benjamin P. Lester, Esq., a graduate of Lincoln University and of the University of Chicago, has been elected dean. Mr. Lester is a man of extensive learning, both in literature and law. He has selected the cream of the Afro-American members of the Baltimore bar as his associates, and promises results of a high order. WILL BUILD HOTEL NEAR S. C. MINERAL SPRING Wealthy Men Hope to Found Health and Pleasure Resort. COLUMBIA, S. C., September 10.—A company of wealthy Afro-Americans is arranging to purchase an excellent minibus hotel and other conveniences necessary to a health and pleasure resort for their race. Behind the scheme are some of the wealthiest Afro-Americans in South Carolina, who are well acquainted with the healing properties of the water at the spring and are highly hopeful of satisfying their needs in the course of time, the great Afro-American gatherings could be induced to center there and chantangans and summer normals make yearly voyages thither. MISS BURROUGHS STARTING TRAINING SCHOOL FOR GIRLS Hopes to Make Indianapolis Site of Great Institution. LOUISVILLE, Ky., September 10.—A great school for training young colored women and girls is promised in the State of Indiana by Miss Nannie Burroughs, of this city, Miss Burroughs, it is understood, prefers Indianapolis or its immediate vicinity. She has considerable backing, and at this time the project bids fair to be realized. Miss Burroughs is one of the foremost African women of the country and is noted especially for eloquence. WITH BULLET IN HEART MUST DO HARD LABOR TO LIVE If Robinson Gets Muster He'll Die Instantly. PHILADELPHIA, September 10.—By living one year with a 38-calibre bullet resting in the apex of his heart, Frank Robinson, a giant Afro-American of German town, a suburb of Philadelphia, has won a firm place in the ranks of medical marvels. Robinson was shot on September 6, 1905, by policeman Morley, in trying to escape arrest. He was taken to the Germantown Hospital, and the doctors, being unable to probe for the bullet, said he would be strengthened, the Afro-American who then weighed 200 pounds, successfully withstood an attack of blood poisoning and recovered. When his trial for assaulting Morley came up in May, Judge Von Moschizker said Robinson had suffered enough, and gave him a sentence of 13 days, after serving which he was released. The doctors say Robinson will not live more than seven years with the bullet in his heart, and strange to say, the more Robinson exerts himself, the better his chances are of living out the limit. The bullet is now less than one-sixteenth of an inch from the walls of his chest, and if he allows himself to get any stunner the walls will press the bullet, and he will die instantly. I never knew that hard work was before he took a shot, said Frank yesterday. "But you can just be I'm working hard moving furniture every day now, and I'm going to try and go thin that my chest won't get never touch that bullet I'm down to 180 pounds now." NEW YORK, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER QUIGG LAYS PARSONS LOW Accuses Chairman of Lobbying at Albany Last Winter HEIR OF SUGAR TRUST Parsons' Wealth From "Special Interest" Through a Democratic Father Leenuel E. Quigg last week issued the hottest anti-Parsons statement that he has put out since the fight for the control of the local Republican organization began. Mr. Parsons recently referred to Mr. Quigg as a lobbyist. Now Mr. Quigg makes a similar charge against Mr. Parsons, and assists the county chairman's political methods as well. The statement follows: "Mr. Parsons seems to like plain talk and he shall have some. He calls me a lobbyist he bears false witness. I have not been in Albany for two years, but I am with Parsons the Parsons was there last winter, and lobbying for a special interest, too. When he says that there are shocking things that he might tell of me if only he wanted to be reveals the instincts of the sort of person who can say nothing in detriment of any man that decent people will believe. "It may be that I have earned the money of Democrats, and I think I have the high example for that of the Hon. Joseph H. Chote, who was once the attorney of no less congluscula a Democrat than Richard Croker. Being a private citizen, and looking to be nothing else, I have the right to earn whose money I can, and at least I have earned it, and when I had earned it my obligations had not got it from a Democratic father who got it from the sugar trust. My political methods my blood and have been consistently maintained. They are not the principles of a mugwump prig in a Democratic environment. "My political methods have not always conformed, perhaps, to the Golden Rule, but I never bought my way into influence and position by the open and shameless purchase of votes at a primary election, being holy in one section of my district and rank in another. There was many a smile upon the faces of the old-time politicians when they read how the type of man that Mr. Roosevelt delicately "And one thing else. I have never taken office and power at the hands of a body of men and then proceeded to employ the resources of my position against those from whom I got it to thwart their will, and to accomplish their injury. "Enrolled Republicans, when they go to the polls, should bear this fact in mind—a vote for a Parsons ticket is a vote for the renomination of Governor Higgins as the Republican candidate to oppose William R. Houset, backed by the regular nomination and that of the Independent candidate, and that of the ticket of the regular Republican organization, as represented by the overwhelming majority of the executive committee, and of the Republican county committee as well, is a vote that looks to the nomination of a stronger and better candidate then Mr. Higgins, most likely the nomination of Mr. Hughes. "For there is not an intelligent politician in our party who is not well convinced that Mr. Higgins will likely win the Republican New York County Governor Higgins will straightway announce that he does not want the nomination, and Mr. Hughes will find himself the unanimous choice of the party." PARSONS MEN, ALLEGING FRAUDS, COMMIT PERJURY And Judge Throws 7,000 Enrollment Constraints Out of Court. After working for the better part of Friday night and all day Saturday and Sunday Supreme Court Justice New- burger yesterday handed down more than 7,000 decisions denying the applications of political leaders to strike that number off the primary election enrollment book. On Friday the Justice heard the application of 151 lawyers to strike 5,170 names off the rolls. The names are not divided into Assembly districts and in a general opinion the Justice says that the relatives have not proceeded according to subdivision 11 of the primary law and that therefore the cases are dismissed. Justice ordered to hand down Wednesday. This will end the primary fight so far as the court is concerned. Harry G. Kessler, of 232 West 132d street, had made affiliations in more than 1,100 cases. To qualify himself to bring the action Kessler made out that he was an enrolled Republican of the 31st Assembly district. Attorney Obermeyer, representing the citizenry involved, charged that Kessler did not live in that district. The Court ordered Kessler placed on the stand. The affiant then confessed that he was not enrolled in that district, but that he lived in the 21st district. Kessler's attorney told the Court that it was a mistake. "It is a mistake to swear what is not true?" asked Justice Newburger, hardly. In the 1st Assembly district the name of Israel Glosson was signed by Charles O. Mans presented an affiliation from Glossman that he had never signed any of the affiliations. The attorney for the McCellan-O'Brien ring then contended that the papers had been signed by Glassman's wife. This raised a laugh, however, as no evidence was found that the attorney wanted to know when woman's suffrage had been established in that district. PARSONS AND PRENTICE IN "JIM CROW" REPUBLICAN CLUB Madison Square, Club Hunt, Down Hard and Font Color Line, Save Once. In the 20th Assembly, district Mr. Richard Van Cott is being opposed for leader by Mr. Emra P. Prentice, who, like most professional reformers and aristocrats, care but little for ordinary white men and therefore still lenes for Afro-American. Mr. Prentice, like his boss, Mr. Herbert' Parsons, is a high member of the Madison Square Republican Club. This club has always strictly drawn the color line with but one exception, and thereby made false. Brown alone say Mr. Hugo Norwalk, a member of the club, proposed the name of a Mr. Ross as a new member. Preuming from the fact that his name was introduced that Mr. Ross must be a white man, the Madison Square club voted him in. When, however, he appeared in the flesh and proved to be an Afro-American, the dismay and indignation of these aristocratic reformers was excessive, and Mr. Norwalk was the responsible person, and upbraids for his "vulnerability" in proposing an Afro-American for membership in a Republican club. A chance insulting remark dropped last week by one of Prentice's lieutenants in his headquarters on 6th avenue, near 4th street, shows the respect reformers usually have for Afro-Americans, even when their votes and support are being solicited. "We've got the Niggers this year," said this professional "gentleman." Reformers are no good on earth for Afro-Americans. EX-SLAVE DEAD AGED 115; WAS MARRED FOUR TIMES Tennessee Woman Had Children When Lincoln Was Born. CHIATTANOOGA, Teen. September 7.—Mrs. Mary Prather, an Afro-American woman, commonly known as "Old Aunt" Mary, is dead at Athens, Teen., at the age of 15 years. She had lived in 623 children and 120 ten children, who went as slaves with their mother to that little town. When she was born there were only 459,000 slaves in the United States, but she lived to be one of 4,000,000 slaves. When she was born George Washington was 50 years of age and Thomas Jefferson was 50 years of age. She was a mother when Abraham Lincoln was born. She was originally the property of William Gibson of Kentucky. She was married four times. TUSKROE STUDENT WINS OUT IN CHICAGO POST OFFICE G. D. Robertson Gets Two Promotions and a Raise in a Year. Chicago, September 10.—George D. Robertson, a former student of Tuskkee Institute, was recommended to the postmaster last October as one of the emergency clerks. He was given the opportunity of taking the regular examination, and he passed and was called in immediately as one of the regulars. He was put into the mailing room as all others are, but inside of two months he demonstrated his ability to work with the officer was at once promoted. In less than twelve months he has mastered every scheme given him and received two promotions and an increase of $100 on the year's salary. All of this has been achieved solely on account of his fitness for the position and the training he received at Tuskkee. JURY TRYING SPRINGFIELD MOB LEADER DISAGREE 1,000 Men Summoned in Case Before Panel Could Be Completed. SERGENTFIELD, Mo., September 10—The jury trying Gallihera, the mob leader, has agreed to disagree, the vote standing ten for acquittal and two for conviction. Over one thousand men had to be summoned before twelve could be secured who believed lynching to be murder; and at that the prosecuting attorney had to reduce his charge from first to second degree murder in order to obtain a panel. LETTER AGAINST RACE'S EDUCATION COST HIM CONTRACT Architect Fired by Afro-Americans When They Found Him Out. PORTLAND, Ore., September 10.—Mr. William W. Goodrich, the white architect who wrote a letter to *The Oregonian* in its issue of August 10, felt the effects of his hasty and senseless tirade against Afro-American education this week. The two Rutherford brothers, who are industrious and enterprising, thefty and fugal, who are on the East Side, and who were preparing to build there a new, modern house, had secured the services of the firm of William W. Goodrich & Son, architects, to draw the plans, not knowing that he was the author of this article. And little did they suspect it until Goodrich remarked that the Afro-American population seemed to be arrested over the communication which he had sent to *The Oregonian*. He excused himself by saying that Afro-Americans—no not in the host! This remark cost him more than $100, for Mr. Edward Rutherford politely informed him that his services were no longer needed, since he had obtained such extravagant views and opinions of his race. And now Mr. Goodrich regrets that he wrote the arrae. Architect Gina $5,000. Contract. PHILADELPHIA, September 10.—Henry W. Wilkinson is appointing plans for alterations to the Mercy hospital, an Afro-American institution, at the southwest corner of 17th and Flitwater streets. The work will cost about $3,000. "Jim Crow" Farrell Will Feel Vengeance of Afro-Americans FATAL PARALLEL DRAWN Records of the Two Men Contrasted—"Lily White" Politics Not Tolerable in North As the bitter and energetic primary content, in the 13th Assembly district, comprising San Juan Hill, draws toward a close, Alderman John J. Hahn may be seen to have the advantage of Alderman John Farrell, especially among the Afro-American protesters, all beginning to see that their interests are peculiarly wrapped up in Mr. Hahn's election. They may be confirmed in their choice of Mr. Hahn by the following deadly parallel, which they may clip out and paste in their hats until after primary day: I. Mr. Farrell beats "I" in the Niggers up here for $1 a head. I. Mr. Hahn beats "I" in the Niggers with americans with respect as gre 1.

Farrell has never had any use for Afro-Americanism, and has followed a "Jim Crow" policy or excluding them, and committee and committee controlled by him. 3. Mr. Hahn, on his entrance into politics, signaled his nomination for the County Attorney and for Afro-America. That have been fully represented in all committees, conventions. 4.

Those members of the Monitor League - and there are in the club many clean, decent citizens - who hoped to make the League a power for the social and political betrayment of our people, are growing more and more dismayed by the way the League has lost public confidence by its attempt to cloak and shield white toughs who have imported Southern mob leaders like Vik. In the League many who resent the fact that their leaders have grabbed all the graft in sight and have not seen fit to "divvy up." It is a great pity that the League, whose aims were high and noble, has allowed them to be prostituted for the selfish ends of unscrupulous leaders. Nothing will save the League from dissolution and its high purpose from destruction but a thorough housecleaning and reorganization. JASTROW ALEXANDER GOOD MAN FOR IBSTN'S LEADER Up around 3d avenue and 72d street, where there is a colony of Afro-Americans, is situated the 18th Assembly district; and in it there is a gentleman running for leader in whom Afro-Americans of the district are interested. His name is Jastrow Alexander. He is one of the old Republican war houses of the upper East Side, and has always stood for the cause of the square dealer, for all of his constituents, whatever their color. At the club rooms of what was the old 26th district, as well as in the club of the new 18th, the cordial hand has always been extended in welcome to the Afro-American voters. Mr. Alexander is State Inspector of Gas Meters. Priest to Do Missionary Work Among Us. PHILADELPHIA, September 10.—The Rev. Father Deering of St. Mary's church, who is now abroad, will, upon his return, request the privilege of making an important change in the nature of his work. He has great sympathy for the Afro-American people and will take up missionary work among them here. LIKES "JIM GROW" CARS "MORE THAN HE LIKES BRAN" Leader William Wille Have Federal Oswalmhin Voted Hero Ownership Voted Down. RICHEMON, Va., September 9—The Times-Dispatch to-day telegramged John Sharp Williams, the minority leader in Congress, at Yanko City Miss., for an expression of his views on Bryan's plans for Government ownership of railroads. Mr. Williams wired in reply: "I am opposed to Government ownership of railroads, irreverently, now and forever, in theory and in practice—a question concerning which Mr. Bryan and I agree to disagree. "But I see no good to be attained by my rushing into print on the subject. We will simply vote it down if offered as a plank of the Democratic platform. "Meanwhile, let us not magnify Democratic differences. There are so many things we are agreed upon—let us magnify them, push them to the front if we can. "Bryan is not infallible and does not prevent to be. He is right about so many things, and greatly right, but absolutely and always right, about this one thing, especially from the standpoint of racial peace and quiet in the South. "Let us strongly regulate our railroad rates, but not operate railroads." FOUND HANGING FROM LIMB; HOW DID THEY GET THERE? No One Admits Knowledge of Tennessees Laughing. MEMPHIS, Tennessee, September 7—Two Afro-Americans who were jailed at Laurel, Miss., yesterday for attempted assault on two white girls were found this morning to have been mysteriously spirited away from their cells. An investigation disclosed their bodies some miles away from town hanging from the same limb. No on admits knowing how they were taken from the jail. AMOS.

Amos, president of Harbison college, a coeducational institution for Afro-Americans at Abbeville, S. C., supported by the Northern Presbyterian church upon recently by citizens of Abbeville and requested to leave town on account of language use in his last commencement address. He is alleged to have said that Afro-American women had brought white women to the kitchens and hoped that they would soon bring them to the wash tub. Amos telegramged from Baltimore today that one of the directors would soon arrive in Abbeville to take charge of the institution. Ex-Speaker of the House Frank B. Gary, a resident of Abbeville, is authority for the above statement. Wealthy Women Seem to Hold It of Very High Importance. CLEVELAND, September 6.—A training school in household science was opened on September 1 in the Burke mansion, Prospect avenue, Southeast and East Thirty-second street. Girls who are willing to train for service in homes of the rich and who come recommended are taken into the training school and given their board free while learning. The girls will be taught everything pertinent to household," said Miss Frances Riordan who, with Mrs. N. F. Schrock, will be charge of the school. "Even department in bonuses of luxury will be taught." Many wealthy women have pledged themselves to back the enterprise, which will eventually include a woman's exchange and lunchroom rooms. CONVICT BOSS ARRAIGNED FOR BEATING PRISONER Punishment So Brutal Victim Was Five Days Recovering. COLUMBUS, Ga., September S.—J. T. Norris, the boss of the city chain-gang, was arraigned before Justice Eugene Ray to day on a warrant charging him with cruel treatment of Charlie Willingham, an Afro-American convict, Wellingham being the prosecutor. Willingham alleged that a few days ago he begged a fellow prisoner while Norris held him, finally the heating grew so severe, the flesh becoming iterated, that he refused to hold him longer, whereupon Norris turned upon him (Willingham) and beat him so unnervingly that he had to be taken home, and remained there five days. The physician who called to see him reported the case to the city authorities, but at the investigation it was stated that the man was whipped because he refused to work. Punishment of criminals under that condition is permitted. Norris made emphatic denial of the charges. The case was continued. Meeting for Industrial Improvement.

Admission to the meeting will be by tickets, which may be obtained at the Y. M. C. A. building, 252 West 53d St. THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY PRICE, 5 CENTS. NOW ASKS THEIR VOTES But They Are Onto Him, and Will Vote for Tax Commissioners Up in Harlem, in the 31st Anniversary district, where lots of Afro-American lives, ex-Tax Commissioner Samuel Strubman is being fought for leader by Mr. Harvey T. Andrew. Unfortunately for Mr. Andreas, co-engineer act in his career is efficient to damn every Afro-American in his district. Mr. Straubourger has always been born in the contention that the Afro-American voters should have the full quota of political recognition which their stunted warranted. So, when the question arises for the first time of giving Afro-Americans places on the County Committee, Mr. Straubourger sprang at once to the assistance of the Afro-Americans' youth, and finally after a hard fight, carried their favor. Who do pen support was the color line in the Republican Committee of New York county by excluding Afro-Americans from its membership? None other than Mr. Barrow T. Andrew, who is now soliciting their votes and urging them to entrust for a year their political fortunes in his hands. Down with him! Besides placing the first two Afro-Americans from the Slat on the County Committee, Mr. Straubourger has been active in securing them burets in the postoffice, customs service, appointments, etc. He has lived in the district fifteen years, and has been leader of it for five years. He is now serving his second term as State Committeeman. He has twice been vice-president of the County Committee. He is a member of the Bar Association, and of the various Republican club. An engaging feature of his life is his great activity in charitable work. He is a director of the Hebrew Orphan Asylum and of the Sydenham Hospital. He is a thirty-second degree Manon. He was appolated Commissioner of Taxes and Assessments by Mayor Beth Low. When Mr. McClellan became Mayor, he asked Mr. Strasbouger, who once owned the success, to hold over under him. The old saw that politicians rarely die and never resign was then disproved, for Mr. Strasbouger insisted on resigning. Mr. Strasbouger, even if his opponent had not killed himself with the Afro-American voters, would deserve their support on the ballot, and he on September 15 at the primaries that they have a long memory for benefits and for injuries, too. GEORGE L. LEE AND THE ROOSEVELT REPUBLICAN CLUB Forces to Be Reckoned With in Ninth Assembly District. One of the men of real political weight in the 9th Assembly district is Mr. Geo. L. Lee, president of the Roosevelt Republican club in West 41st street.

September 10.—Excursions were run out of the city to Atlantic City last Thursday by the several Masciatic lodges over the Reading railroad, by the Phil Royer club over the Pennsylvania railroad, and the Corinthian club over the West Jersey & Sea Shore Railroad, taking with them nearly a hundred miles and rounding town on their yearly journey.

The restaurants all along the boardwalk put out big special dinners, the bath houses, dance halls, carousels and all places of amusements were thrown wide open to the audience. The situation, enjoying themselves hugely, took to the time their train left for its return to Philadelphia. Natal Chief Sentenced to Death PETERMARKTZURTZU, Natal, September 7.

There is a strategic element in opportunity that if seized at the proper moment success for the recipient will be the ultimate result. The conditions among us make our hearts plastic to receive the impression of some chosen character, who will lead us to fields of greater usefulness; therefore, since all movements for good are inaugurated by some inspired soul, we direct attention to the fullman Palace Car Porters' and Railway Employee's Beneficial Association. The success of this organization in a large measure is due to the unaltering loyalty of founders. Since the organization of the association, April 19, 1898, it has paid to its members for sick benefits to May 31, 1908, $5.512; death claims, $550. This organization is purely beneficial. While Mr. John W. Scroggins originated the plans, which developed into the organization, the credit for its success is largely due to the assistance given Mr. Scroggins by such well-known and influential men as Mr. J. C. Gunnell, the veteran organizer and promoter of entertainments among Afro-Americans of Jersey City; Meersen, G. W. Griffin, L. C. Bullock, Stafford Parker and the well known secretary of this and other progressive organizations, Mr. Levi Williams. Mr. Scroggins modestly declines the plaudits of members and friends of the organization and disclaims any personal credit for the brilliant success of this organization, but very magnanimously gives the credit to his associates and other members who aided in the early struggles of the association.

The reporter draws his own inference of Mr. Scroggins' worth to his followers by the handsome gold badge presented to him by his co-workers on his retirement from the presidency of the association's first three years of existence after which he was succeeded by the following presidents: Mr. J. C. Gunnell, one year; Mr. G. W. Griffin, one year; Mr. Stafford Parker, three years, and the present incumbent. T. H. Bayles, who has about completed half of his term, and from present indications gives promise of having one of the most successful administrations since the birth of the association. Members of the association can be found all over the country, regardless of the nature of their occupation. For while by name this is purely a railroad association, it is not necessary that one should be actually employed by the Pullman Palace Car Company or any other railroad company to become a member, but if any one ever been employed by a railroad company and meets the requirements as prescribed by the association, that alone entitles one to membership. One retains his membership as long as he keeps his obligations, regardless of whether he remains in the railroad service or not; thus there are members on the roll in every walk of life. Dr. George E. Cannon is the organization's physician, and has contributed largely to the success of the association. The members are cultured, progressive and influential citizens. White Waltresses Discharged and Afro- Americans Taken Back. From The Richmond Planet. From the Reumoumud Hotel, Race prejudice figured to such an extent in North Carolina recently that the Yarborough Hotel at Raleigh, North Carolina, discharged all of its colored waiters and substituted white females in the dining room. This was heralded as the beginning of the movement to supplant Negro labor with white labor. The following telegraphic dispatch announces the failure of the innovation. "Nambo" has come unto his own again. RALEIGH, N. C. September 2. —Someone told me no more ago. Proprietor Horwell Cobb, of the Yarborough Hotel here, dismised all his colored waiters in the dining room and substituted white girls. To-day he makes the announcement that he finds that the experiment is a complete failure and that beginning to-day he will return to the employment of white girls. He concludes that it is not at all practicable to use white girls in positions of this kind. If the press of the country will be equally as prompt to disseminate the opinion of Proprietor Howell Cobb, an impression will be corrected which was wrong in the start and "how logged" in the finish. Colored labor of the right kind is all right. The boning Negro has been used to offset the laboring one and the whole race has suffered as a consequence. The Taft Room. From The Portland Now Age. The "greatest candidate" is Taft, and it is believed that the President clearly percolates this. Regg, is a very able man, but would not be popular unless he would arouse no cribbins. Taft is only an able, reliable, constructive statesman of a high order, but he is also "a jolly good fellow," which counts for a good deal sometimes. The chances book better now for Taft than for any other man. Politics in Indian Territory. From The Tulsa (Ind Terr.) Guide. It is a fact that the Negro will hold the balance of power in the political affairs of the new State, and it is that main fact that is causing the scenes on the ground both of the old Negro and the Democrats sar that the Republicans are playing hypocrites with the Negro while the Democratic party never intended to deceive the Negro, as they always have their hatchet drawn on him; while on the other hand the Republicans keep their bid. Of course it is common nature for the Negro to be afraid of what a bid from him. She—"Did you ever see the Homer twine?" He—"Yes." "Don't you think the boy is the picture of his father?" "Yes—and I also think the girl is the phonograph her mother."—Chicago Daily News. If you want to make a hit you must out for yourself, my son."

WASHINGTON, September 10.—The Washington Conservatory of Music and School of Expression is unique in the fact that it is the first incorporated musical school in America for the instruction of Afro-American youth in all branches of music. It was founded in 1908 by its present president, Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall, and now has its home in the building owned by the president at 902 T street. Since its foundation the school has had an enrollment of more than 600 students, representing not only the District of Columbia, but several of the States. The faculty includes fourteen professors and assistants instructing in eight departments—piano, viola, violin, elocution, wind instruments, organ, languages, harmony, counterpoint and musical history. The president, Mrs. Marshall, formerly assistant directress of music in the public schools of the District, is a graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and finished her studies abroad. Three other members of the faculty have also studied in Europe—Mr. Clarence Cameron White, the violinist of the Oberlin Conservatory; Mr. Felix Weir, the violinist of Chicago, and Miss Abby Williams. The School of Expression is under the directorship of Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook, wife of Prof. Cook of Howard University. The treasurer of the conservatory, Mrs. Cook, is a graduate of the Emerson School of Expression of Boston. Mr. Gerald Tyler, instructor in the voice department and a music teacher in the public schools, is a graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. Mr. Amplias H. Glenn, the instructor in the department of modern languages and also a teacher in Latin in the M street high school, is an A.B. of Oberlin college, class of 1902. The lecturer in the department of musical history is Mr. N. R. Marshall, a graduate of Harvard college, class of 1897. This conservatory, which embraces many of the methods of the best conservatories in this country and abroad, is original in the purpose of compiling and preserving the old Negro melodies and developing the natural musical aptitude of the Afro-American youth. So great is the interest in this phase of the conservatory's scope that Mr. Ernest Hogan, the comedian, has offered a prize of $200 for the best original production from the department of harmony and composition, a symphony preferred. Among the donors of scholarship are Booker T. Washington, Judge Miflin W. Gibbs, who presented the conservatory building to his daughter: Silver, Burdett & Co. of New York; Miss Grace Dodge of New York, Harry T. Burleigh of New York; Cole and Johnson of New York and Samuel H. Vick of Wilmington, N. C. BEIT FORGOT THE NATIVES. No Bequest for Those Who Dug His Diamonds Out of the Earth. From Into Zaundendu. That Mr. Beit was rich beyond the dreams of avarice has been evidenced during the past week by the dispositions of his fabulous wealth as disclosed by his will. He has given unbelief joy to manners, beneficiaries both in South Africa and in England—alas, however, for the native. He had reason to expect something, as it was by his agency Mr. Beit amassed his riches. It was the native who derived for the diamonds and the gold—products of his country—which made Mr. Beit the magnate that he was. But he is forgotten. An amount of £25,000 for native education would have given genuine satisfaction and gone far to reconcile the whites and blacks in this land and materially helped its development. This, Mr. Beit has overlooked in his magnificent munificence, and has consequently missed a splendid opportunity of doing good and immortalizing himself among the dark millions of this dark continent. MISS JENNY DEANE Intimate Study of a Very Remarkable Woman. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AQR: Truly, Miss Jenny Deane, founder and ruling spirit of the Manassas Industrial School, is a remarkable woman. During the long winter months she works throughout the North in the interest of the school. In the summer, when she should be resting on her farm in the Bull Run Mountains, she is just as busy among the young people of her community. Most of her time is spent in church work. Upwards of twenty years ago she organized a few Sunday schools into a union, and this has grown so, both in numbers and public favor, that it now controls the social life of five counties—Prince William, London, Fairfax, Stafford and Falkquar, representing an Afro-American population of more than 22,000. She lives at the Denee homestead, a rambling seven-room cottage with detached kitchen and roomy, vine-shaded piazzas. She keeps a horse, a number of cows, a host of chickens and a set of fat pigs. To take care of this stock, the garden and the house is no small allotment of work, yet she does it with the aid of a married sister, who comes in the busy season, and an occasional hired man. Miss Deane is thoroughly independent. She knows everything about farp life and can hitch or saddle her horse just as she wishes; so when the hired man fails to appear her work—even the field work—goes right on. The house is beautifully situated on a gentle elevation, somewhat removed from the highway, surrounded by beautiful shade and fruit trees. Just across the road there is a lovely pine-crowned hill, shedding a sweet fragrance on all the land about. When on one of her trips to New York last winter Miss Deane told me of these pines and the skill of her "Country Doctor." I decided then and there to see these pines for myself. I came and I am enchanted. Miss Deane had a cozy nook constructed for me, and a space for my hammock cleared. The air in delightful, the quiet retirement perfect. It is better than the effect of any medicine to live close to Nature's heart, and come into daily contact with such a pure, wholesome, sincere nature as that possessed by Miss Jennie Deane.

Support Friends in Primary Fight. Ordinarily nothing in politics would interest THE AGE less than a New York county primary contest. The concern we have manifested—and it has been sincere and earnest—finds its occasion in the fact that County Chairman Parsons and his friends are plausibly endeavoring to destroy the influence in Republican councils of the men who have been consistently and effectively the friends of the Afro-American people. Particularly is this true of Lemuel E. Quigg. The editor of THE AGE has had the acquaintance of Mr. Quigg during a long period of years, and has observed with interest and satisfaction that the encouragement he has so steadfastly given to men of our race is principled upon the broad platform of the equality of all men: before the law. It is not a friendship that is given to particular individuals for particular services. It is a better, safer, more conscientious friendship. It is the friendship of a man who asks for himself and his race no other public right or advantage than he is willing to concede. to the people of every other race and nationality. This brings to such Afro-American voters as are enrolled in the Republican party, such at all events as have the growth and development of their race really at heart, a duty which, they ought to discharge with hearty pleasure. Those candidacies for the control of the Republican county organization which are friendly to Mr. Quigg are in every case the ones that look to the betterment of our people and to their wider participation in public affairs. Washington School Board's Error Washington School Board's Error We have cognition reasons for fearing that the new School Board of Washington, D. C., in its too precipitate real for the improvement of school conditions in the District, has involved itself in what, unless immediately obviated, may prove to be very grave complications. We are informed upon the highest authority that the School Board—we believe unwittingly and unwillingly—has been so unfortunate as to have violated, by arbitrary removals of old teachers, the new Congressional law governing the schools of the District; and that, unless the Board quickly disavows these violations, the matter will be taken to the courts and if necessary, as a last resort, to Congress itself. The persons who have taken upon themselves to see that the Board does not contravene Public Act No. 254 are those of the most eminent influence and overwhelming power. They do not look upon the actions of the Board with charity, but with the hottest indignation. Because we have close friends on the Board we think it our duty thus to warn them of the troubles which lower upon them. A word to the wise is sufficient. --- Georgia Demoralized. The entire population of Georgia is demoralized. A state of feeling exists between the two races which borders upon a declaration of war. White men and black men go about their daily occupations withullen and menacing faces, and when they have speech it is short and early, as if communication of any sort were painful. This condition of affairs, as far as Atlanta is concerned, has been brought about by the long contest for Governor, and the unnecessary prominence given, to the "Negro question," and by the venomous attitude of the Atlanta newspapers, with the exception of The Constitution which, in a trying situation, endeavored to maintain an attitude of fairness to all the elements of the population. Added to this vicious attitude of the newspapers, the lawless elements of Atlanta have of late been particularly vicious, and much of its activity was due to the toleration or connivance of the police. After creating a dangerous condition by their fierce agitation of the race question, the Atlanta newspaper, while the Negro Business League was in session there called upon decent Afro-Americans to turn their faces against the criminals of their race and to aid the authorities to run them down. What have decent Afro-Americans to do with the criminals of their race any more than the white people have to do with the criminals of their race? They do not know them, they have no association whatever with them, any more than white people have with the criminals of their race. And it is not the business of the decent people of any sort to hunt down criminals; that is the business of the lawful authorities, who are paid out of common taration to do it. If the white men of Georgia would attend to their own affairs more, and leave the lawful authorities to attend to them, there would be instant improvement in the unmistakable act of abuse between the spoon. It is the suppression of quarrel while in Georgia that he is on offense of the law which exasperates black men, who feel that in this case they have an equal right to assume like authority. So far, Hoke Smith has been a vener to the people of Georgia, and we do not believe he will ever prove a blasphemy. If he had died in his youth it would have been a good thing for the people of one of the greatest and best States in the Union. We have satisfaction in the fact that Georgia will outlive Hoke Smith. He must die some time, and the senator he does it the better will it be for all concerned. Senator Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas, the former Mississippi Ku-Klux Klan leader, thinks that Hoke Smith would be a good man for the Democrat to nominate for President. We also think so. Let the Democrat nominate him. The voters of the country would cut him into milce meet. Secretary Taft a Central Figure. Secretary Taft a Central Figure. The conversations of the two parties to nominate Presidential candidates are yet a far way off, but already the highway is littered with candidates who have fallen by the wayside, borne down by the conflicting interests which make and unmake the fortunes of individual statements. Of all the men on the Republican side who were Presidential-availabilities four months ago Vice-President Fairbanks of Indiana and Secretary Taft of Ohio appear to be the only ones who have come out of the political realignments in their States with their booms unimpaired. Whether they will be able to stand up under the fierce glare that beats upon aspirants for the Presidential office during the next two years remains to be seen. Vice-President Fairbanks possesses elements of strength which the American people admire in the man they select for the Presidential office, and he is more likely than not to grow in the popular system and confidence. He is not a brilliant man, but he is an able and experienced statesman, after the safe and sane character of Benjamin Harrison. If he should go into the convention with the Indiana delegation solidly behind him he would be a formidable figure, and one to be reckoned with by the combination of forces which may oppose him. For the moment, however, William H. Taft of Ohio looms larger in the public eye as a Presidential possibility than any other man. He is a large man in every way. As a lawyer, as a judge, as Governor General of the Philippine Islands, as Secretary of War, he has had a long and distinguished career in high positions. His administration of the government of the Philippine Islands was, on the whole, not only satisfactory but without reproach. He was beloved by the Filipinos and by all of the Americans in the Islands who were not there to enrich themselves at the expense of the Islands. His displacement was a misfortune to the country which has not as yet been overcome. His work as Secretary of War, with special reference to the government of the Philippine Islands and the conduct of affairs in the building of the Panama Canal, while necessarily incomplete, has enhanced his reputation as a wise and capable administrator. His speech at Bath, Maine, last week is the most exhaustive discussion of Republican policy which has been made by any other man this year—except President Roosevelt himself, who in his open letter to Congressman Watson of Indiana, on the issue of the pending Congress elections, easily maintained his position as the foremost thinker of the Republican party of the times. Secretary Taft is a tower of strength to the Republican party. He has the confidence of the thoughtful people of the country. The Democrats have no man who can bear comparison with him in native ability and experience in public affairs. As we go along toward the hour when the standard bearers of the two parties are to be chosen it is well to stop by the wayside and take stock of the men who, at the moment, stand highest in the public confidence and respect. --- Individualism Versus Party Domination. Secretary William H. Taft and Secretary Jerome Bonaparte have both laid it down that the main issue in the pending Congress elections is an endorsement of President Roosevelt. That is a blunt way of putting it and it may be true, but it will not be gratifying to the vast body of Republican voters, who believe in principles represented by a party rather than in principles represented by an individual, because our government is one of party and not of an individual, or a set of individuals. Mr. Roosevelt is a very strong and pronounced character, but he will not himself, we believe, accept the theory that he is greater than his party, and for the very simple reason that while the individual as the representative of principle, is by the nature of the case, mutable, here to-day and gone to-morrow, the party, as the representative of principle, abides of the time; as, for example, the Republican and Democratic parties have stood for the same thing; under different names represent the doctrines of Hamilton on the one hand and of Jefferson on the other, from the formation of the government and are likely to do so to the end of the chapter. Parties we always have as the exponents of the conflicting principles upon which our system of government is founded, but the individual we can have only for a reason. The exaltation of the individual above the party is not only to be found at this time in the Republican party. Mr. Bryan returned home a few weeks ago and was acclaimed as the embodiment of the Democratic party, and he would have been considered as such to-day if he had not blasted his position with the socialistic announcement of Federal ownership of railroads. William Randolph Heard is the whole Independent League. That him out of it and there will be no League left. William Travers Joseph has announced that he will allow himself to be nominated for Governor, of New York by the Democratic if permitted to be his own platform. He has made a platform for himself, and a vile one it is, and amused the regular Democratic machine of Georgia to small bits, and Mr. Brevett simply is trying to do the same thing for the Republican machine of New Jersey. All along the line we find that the individual is coming to be regarded as the whole thing in party government by a lot of people who really think that they are better than other men, but who no sooner succeed in smashing existing parties than they proceed to create a party machine of their own. Party government by individualism is a new and strange doctrine in American politics, and we do not believe it will or can go further than the smashing of existing party machines and the creation of other ones. If those who are best upon doing this would be canidled enough to announce their purpose the public would understand them better. The main question, then, in the pending Congress elections, is not an endorsement of President Roosevelt, but an endorsement of Republican policy, as outlined by the President during the past two years and adopted by the Congress, or is still pending. It is not necessary to confuse the situation at all, as we shall need the Republican party when President Roosevelt has retired to private life, as he must in the nature of things do. And we believe that he looks at the matter from this point of view, and has no desire to be regarded as the whole thing, the main issue, in the pending Congress elections or in the Presidential election which will soon be upon us. Let Bryan and Jerome and Hoke Smith and their sort out, as being bigger men than their party, if they will, and we are sure the voters will teach them a lesson when the showdown comes. President Roosevelt is the dominating influence in the Republican party, and is likely to remain such for some time to come; but to seek to make it appear as if he is all there is of the Republican party, when it is really composed of a majority of the voters of the country, is mighty bad form and can work nothing but mischief in the future of the party. Federal Ownership of Public Utilities. The doctrine of State ownership of public utilities is no new one in this country, although it has never received any considerable popular approval. During the past thirteen years the doctrine has been advocated in one form or another by Tom Watson of Georgia, William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska, who thinks so rapidly on most questions that he finds it difficult to keep up with himself; by William Pilgrige of Michigan; Tom L. Johnson and Golden Rule Jones of Ohio; by William Randolph Heart of New York and the rest of the States of the Union—as he seeks to cover all the Federal territory with his newspapers and his radical theories—and by a host of labor advocates, educated for the most part in the schools and the conditions of Europe. That the doctrine has steadily gained popularity, mostly among our foreign-born citizens, is possible; but that it has not gained the confidence of the great body of the citizenship has been brought out in strong relief by the reception given to Mr. Bryan's proposition that the Federal Government should own the trunk lines and the States the short lines, or trunk line "feeders." No public man has ever made a bigger mistake in estimating public opinion on a given proposition than Mr. Bryan did in this instance. It shattered the wild enthusiasm which the unwashed Democracy of the country had been working up to pour upon him on his return from his trip around the world; it made his nomination for the Presidency a very doubtful question, and in the event that he should be nominated it made his defeat at the polls as foregone, a fact as his advocacy of free silver had done in the other campaigns in which he was the candidate or the dominant figure. The thinking people of the country will have nothing to do with this ownership of railroads doctrine. The South, to which Mr. Bryan, or any aspirant for the Democratic nomination, must look for the left of support for the voting in the convention and at the polls, repudiated the whole business in such a fashion as to flabbergast Mr. Bryan, who has decided in haste upon a speaking trip through the Southern States for the purpose of regaining the confidence and standing he has lost. But we think that he will fail in his mission. He has forfeited the confidence of the Democrats of the country, and the South will hardly stand by a man who has made such a bad break in the advocacy of a policy which would lose the party every State outside the Southern States. Aside from the danger of the policy of Federal control of railroads, it was impossible for Mr. Bryan not to drag in a big piece of demography in advocating State ownership of short lines. This latter was done in order to reconcile the Democrats of the Southern States to the doctrine, as the adoption of it would leave them free to keep the separate car laws they have adopted and enforce to degrade Afro-American travellers and to so exapenate them as to lay the foundation for such race hatred as never before existed in this country. If the principle of Federal control of railroads by itself it would be objectable enough to invite our opposition; but when coupled with a proposition that would perpetuate the separate car infanty it is enough to kill the principle and to destroy the man who proposed it. We are opposed to Federal. State and municipal ownership of public utilities because we believe that these should be owned, as they now are, by private in- dividends who give a better service than is given by each public ownership as provisional in Great Britain, Germany, Russia, Japan and the like, and because we have enough office-holders now, who are always seeking to control the government and to perpetuate their control by fair or equal means. If the vast army employed in the work of public utilities were added to the office-holders we now, have our Federal democracy would go to smash in short order. But government control of public service corporations is a different proposition, and one which we heartily favor. This has come of late to be Republican doctrine, and we believe the people of the country will adopt it in the Congress elections now taking place. It is good for the country that Mr. Bryan has hold himself by his own pardon. Hestigia too much with his mouth anyhow. We get tired of reading the daily column on column of what he is saying and doing. Let him be forced off the front of the stage. The country can well dispense with him and his mouth. --- The series of articles on the annual meeting of the National Business League written by Miss Mary Wright Ovington from Atlanta and printed in The New York Evening Post, proves her to be not only a high-class journalist but a very sympathetic woman toward the Afro-American people. Be ye doers and not talkers of the word. See? The second effort of the Niagara Movement to capture the Afro-American section of the public school system of the District of Columbia has ended in failure. The effort to break into the consular and diplomatic service has been equally abortive. They who sow to the wind usually get it where the rooster got the batchet. --- Any old jackall can harms a dead lion. The effort of some American newspapers to bellittle the character, solidlyly qualities and services of General Quintin Banderas to Cuba was to have been expected, as it is difficult for them to find any good thing in a live or dead black African. But history is usually impartial. Now for the meeting of the National Afro-American Council, in New York, in October. --- The Cuban revolution is reaching the long trail, in which there is much talking and little fighting, such as characterised the Cuban revolutions in Spanish days. The opposition to the Palma government appears to be general throughout Cuba, but whether the revolutionists will be able to overturn it remains to be seen. If the revolutionists would fight more and talk less the situation would be more promising for them and more interesting to the rest of mankind. Talk is awfully chap, and too much of it will make any old sort of person tired. --- The Nakagra Movement is invited to send representatives to the meeting of the National Afro-American Council, in New York, in October. If they come they will be given a front seat. The Voice of the Negro magazine in this month's issue denounces as a "cunning and egilactic life" a letter printed August 2 in The New York regarding the magazine's financial status. We beg to remind The Voice that our letter was in all essentials corroborated by its own business manager, Mr. James L. Woodson. So the editor of The Voice has been so impolite as in effect to call his own business manager a liar. We hardly need say that our reporter was not informed that our out of prison" was not intended to apply to any member of The Voice's staff, but to a Boston editor in close alliance with them. --- Some curious conditions often show themselves in our complex life. In Mississippi in a large measure the Afro-American is not permitted to vote, but he is permitted to bathe and make himself clean in every stream of water in and touching the African-American. The Afro-American is permitted to vote, but he is not permitted to bathe in the Atlantic Ocean at Atlantic City and make himself clean. --- The proposed constitution for the South African Federated Colonies has reached the third reading in the House of Commons in London, and it is a foregone conclusion that this constitution will pass. The especial point in discussing this matter at the present time is to call the attention of Afro-Americans throughout the country to the fact that this proposed constitution will not be passed, and that all African vote in South Africa. It confines the surface to the whites, ignoring the black man altogether. Now, this is exactly what likely to take place in the South if the efforts made by the Constitution League and others to reduce Southern representation, then succeed in Congress. It will mean simply that we shall have in the Southern States the same condition of things as in South Africa, that is, we shall have an electorate based on white votes alone. After the passing of the law reducing the voting system there will be nothing to prevent any Southern State from putting in its constitution exactly the words that have been put in the constitution of the South African Federated Colonies, and then these Southern States could prevent all Afro-Americans from voting for all time on account of their color. Well—er—What About Ransom! From Bishop Turner's Organ. We beg no pardon for being severe on the ministerial whiskey sake, but when we are charged with giving toleration to other crimes, to the exception of the whiskey drinking, they maliciously lie, but from here to the grave we expect to kill every man who drinks whiskey in our domination. The Negro has but little sense at beat, and if he has not sense enough to keep sober, he is an inexcusable fool and merits ecclesiastical death. We had to grunt a dog grunt than to listen to the babbage of our drinking preacher; and every bishop of the A, M, E. Church who will condone a liquor-drinking preacher and still allow him to proceed in the face of such a crime verified, is no more fit to preach than the whiskey-drinking victim. Lawyer J. Alexander Cline of Lexington, Ky., was pointed out as the "man who took a gallant fight against the Jim Crow coach law of the Blue Grass State." Dr. J. B. Woodice of the local committee and a member of the staff of The Voice of the Negro rendered effective service from start to finish. Dr. Washington's stalwart and promising nosis, Booker, Jr., and Erastus Davidson, took An the convention. The Tusteege delegation, male and female, more than met all expectations in point of number, brains, beauty, culture and intelligence. Harry T. Frett of Baltimore indicated that he "knew a heap" about running a laundry—and then some. Mrs. Belle Davia, the expert caterer from Indianapolis, and Charles Nunn, the thriving market gardener from the same place, looked their part to a "T." Major R. R. Moton, disciplinarian at Hampton Institute, checked the threatened anti-Topeka tide by the well-tempered statement he heart-leased toward the convention meeting Hampton, but his judgment said let it go to Topeka, as promised in good faith. R. E. Clay, a fiery orator from Bristol, Tennessee-Virginia, put up a game, but losing, fight for Hampton as the next meeting-place of the League. Hampton will have a chance in the future—thanks to Messrs. Clay, Moton and others who gracefully accepted the situation. J. C. Napier, as in other days, was the Chesterfield of the occasion, and Mrs. Napier was more charming than ever at the meeting. Mr. Napier of the true Southern stock in open-handed hospitality and 'unostentations thrift. Governor J. M. Terrell sent his son, J. M. Terrell, Jr., to personally assure Dr. Washington of his deep regret that he was unable to attend one or more sessions of the League. The Governor is sincerely interested in the material and unanticipated movement of his Afro-American constituents. Letters regretting their inability to be present were received from Register of the Treasury W. T. Vernon, Justice Robert H. Terrell, Recorder John C. Dancy, Collector C. W. Anderson, Col. James Lewis, Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams and Editor Chris J. Perry. It was their "hymy season." The delegation from the North was brought down in a special Pullman sleeper by Dr. Summer A. Furniss of Indianapolis. Dr. Furniss is one of the League's most useful members, and the organization did well to continue him on the Executive Committee. The "press gang" was ably represented. It was soon found that the reputation of sartorial taste and social graces, was not overdrawn. Georgia's fair women certainly are "a dream." Of course, Dr. Booker T. Washington made "the speech of his life"—as he always does on stellar occaulus. The police of Atlanta might as well have been dead or on a vacation, as far as the orderly and refined visitors were concerned. Bluestone is not needed by business leaders, but the addresses of welcome by Acting-Mayor J. H. Harwell and Hon. S. D. Jones, president of the Chamber of Commerce, could not have been improved upon. They were plain, practical and beneficial talks of business men to business men, and did not "slop over" at any point. Spacious Big Bethel church was adequate, except on "Washington Night," when Piedmont Park would scarcely have held the people who wanted to hear the wizard. Chairman W. B. Matthews made himself generally useful, and as an announcer was in a class by himself. He had his business always at his fingers' end. Official Stoneographer W. H. Davis is a faithful helper, and the League made a find when it secured him for the work of preparing the minutes of the sessions. This year, in the absence of Lawyer S. Laing Williams, he will perform the duties allotted to the compiler, and will do them in gilt-edged fashion. The team is currently located in the heart of the region inhabited by the best Afro-American people. Prof. W. E. B. DuBois was conspicuous by his absence. Few men, climbing to be of race leader size would have thus permitted a National organization of any character to have visited his home city without extending a cordial right hand of fellowship. Comment is unnecessary. Bainish Bishop Gaines kindly furnished the delegates with copies of his splendid Young People's Congress address. Bishop Gaines sounded the deathknell of the criminal Afro-American who have made Decatur street a reproach to the lawabiding people of Atlanta. Upwards of a thousand delegates and visitors availed themselves of the opportunity to take a side-trip to Tuskegee Institute on Saturday. They unanimously declare they would not have missed such an inspiration for many times the fare. A bulk of the stimulating effect of the Business League, D. J. Marion of Evanston, IL, has enlarged his cab and express business by erecting a new $6,000 livery barn—one of the best in that city—measuring 50 by 96 feet. A charter was granted the Lake City Business League, which paid in the usual $5 fee therefor. The officers are: R. J. Jones, president; L. D. Dray and Rev. F. Little, vice-presidents; A. P. Alexander, secretary; Edward Vaughn, assistant secretary; A. C. Cain, treasurer; James Combs, recording secretary; C. William, corresponding secretary; Rev. J. William, responding secretary; Rev. J. A. Norwood, H. E. Bryant and R. F. Joiner, trustees. Fifteen new members were added to the roll of life members, bringing the total up to eighty-four. The imposing figure of Publisher George L. Knox, with his Frederick Douglas-like hair of snowy white, attracted universal attention. He delivered several very illuminating addresses, the superb singing of Mrs., L. L. Hodges was an enjoyable feature of Friday's session, among the distinguished men present who made the National in scope were Bishop Henry M. Turner, W. J. Gaines, Alexander Walters, W. W. Clinton, R. S. Williams and L. H. Holsey. Dr. J. E. Shepard, field worker of the International Sunday School Association; W. A. Hunston of Y. M. G. A. connection, I. Gartland Furnish, a strong factor in the work of the M. B. church; Dr. J. W. M. Brown of Gammel Theological Seminary of Birmingham the University of the Notre Dame; and J. J. G. Carter, conseal at Silvan, Turkey. Dr. W. H. Heard did not forget to put in a good word for the Connections' Preschool's Aid-Association of the A. M. E. church, and Mrs. Josephine D. Heard, a native of the United States, under name familiar, rendered excellent service at the concert. Mrs. L. R. Clarke of Washington and Mrs. Balle Davies of Indianapolis, the only ladies on the business program, acquired the services admirably. Mrs. Josephine Davies, of Pensacola, peared, but a disastrous fire two weeks ago destroyed her furniture business. "The one Italian hand" of Mr. Henry A. Rucker, the popular Collector of Internal Revenue, was observable at every point in the superb arrangements. Mr. Rucker is a quiet and unobtrusive worker, but is wonderfully effective in seizing opportunities for a pronounced executive ability, as his nine years' service as Collector, with an A-No.1 official record will attest, and by an absolutely impartial administration of his duties he has deservedly won the esteem and confidence of the beat people of both races in the State of Georgia. He is not likely to be disturbed during the incumbency of President Roosevelt in New York, but Mr. Rucker, a charming wife, most interesting family of seven children, and his hospitable home on Piedmont avenue was the acknowledged social center during the session. A prominent delegate was James L. Wallace of New York, head of a labor organization composed of Afro-Americans and italians, who lay pavements. He spoke in favor of labor unions, where the labor movement was against Afro-Americans coming to New York from the South to antagonize unions and to be used as strike-breakers. Reports indicated that there are twelve steam laundries in the country operated by Afro-Americans: Three in Topeka, Kansas, one in Little Rock, Ark., three in Nashville, Tennessee, two in Richmond, one in Lawrenceville, Ga., one in Memphis, Tennessee, and one in Baltimore, Md. The citie that have thus far entertained the National Business League are as follows: Boston, 1800; Chicago, 1901; Richmond, 1902; Nashville, 1903; Indianapolis, 1904; New York, 1906; and Atlanta, 1908. Ky., will make a bid for the National League in 1908. Tom Watson did not make his appearance. Hid he and Gov. Vardaman and Ben Tillman sat through the sessions they would have departed wiser, if not better men. It was demonstrated that the Afro-American business man is not the class that commensal the richer the richer. The law is the best friend of the upright, square-dealing citizen of any race. William Alexander of Little Rock took issue with Wallace of New York as to the value of labor unions to the Afro-American, and said the workingmen of below the prizes were well within the prizes and their relevance of expensive "walking delegates"—frequently another name for professional mischief-makers. Mrs. L. R. Clarke got off somewhat better with the nonpresent "servant question" than did Judge Terrell on the same issue in New York last year. But Mr. Clarke was not satisfied and for the District of Columbia, and nobody wished to discredit her politically or supplant her in a Federal position which made all the difference in the world. There was a dearth of Wanamakers, Peabodys, Ogdens, Milkhollands and Villards this year, as compared with the more actual Afro-American business men seeking inspiration and light. John J. Winston, a New Orleans planner contractor, made what he said he was the first speech of his life, but it was a good one. Mr. Winston employs 30 to 50 men continuously, and his pay-roll averages $400,000. He does an annual fundraiser of 4,000 people tried to hear President Washington's annual address. Corresponding Secretary Emmett J. Scott was the hardest-worked man connected with the convention. The varied and interesting program was almost exclusively the product of his resourceful brain, and besides being at Dr. Washington's side throughout the meeting, everybody also wanted to see him every minute about every imaginable species of business. It is a wonder how Mr. Scott manages to accomplish so much in twenty-four hours to a day, and how he does every task so well. The executive committee did the fair thing in allowing Mr. Scott a moderate compensation for his palstaking labor in behalf of the League. The matter of continuing the office of National Organizer was left to a subcommittee of the Executive Committee for recommendation at a later date. Fred R. Moore will doubtless be retained to look after the general interests of the League and to inspect the work of the State organizers. "Ought the League, as an organization, embark in a business enterprise?" is a most question. Theobar W. Jones and his followers say "Yes"; T. Thomas Fortune and his sympathizers say "No." What say the gentlemen of the press? The twelve ladies so handsomely entertained at lunchon by Mrs. Marietta L. Gaines are: Mrs. Hooker T. W. Washington, Mrs. Emmett J. Scott T. W. Miles, Mrs. J. Stuart, St. Standish of Philadelphia, Mrs. Cildswall of Dallus, Tex.; Mrs. Jones of Brunswick, Ga.; and Mendames Rucker, Hope, Penn, Matthew and Hippard of Atlanta. Rev. H. II. Proctor made an ideal toastmaster at the grand banquet. W. A. Kersey, of Indianapolis, managed the banquet at Indianapolis in 1904, and the results were so satisfactory that the League asked Mr. Kersey to come to Atlanta and co-operate with the local committee with the purpose of making it possible the admirable service and perfect arrangements that so greatly pleased everybody at the Hoosier capital two years ago. Said, The Atlanta News, editorially "The News has observed with great satisfaction the conservative and commable utterances of Booker T. Washington during the war that he has properly and eat spoken to his people, urging their law-abiding and telling them to the law and go to work and earn ing." Dr. J. W. B. Brown was the per- scription of the digested scholar, o and Christian priestman. He was me- mentor of the convention. The gates would have liked to hear it from his alver toon. The ushers were faithful, courteous, and obliging. The trolley-ride was one of the most instructive features of the spacious paw-gran. "Work"—intelligent, conscientious and unceasing work—was the watchword. Moss Amon, proprietor of the State City Drug Store, Atlanta, was the wit of the convention. His paper and side talk "took big," and he was the talk of the town. Big Bethel was a fine structure, and comfortably accommodated the people, except on the Washington Night, when no the State would have been entirely adequate. Charles H. Anderson, the dealer of Jacksonville, Fla., started out as an operet pedal. His business now brings in $24,000 per annum, and he employs a bookkeeper, a delivery wagon and seven bicycles, utilizing the services of ten men. His trade covers the country from Miami, Fla., to New York city. One of Atlanta's most progressive physicians is Dr. W. F. Penn. He owns throughsands on the principal thoroughfares with Dr. Washington was one of the impressive events of the convention season. The Afro-American people live everywhere in Atlanta, and, as a rule, live well. Unisophisticated Northeasterns were known by their sad sorry for their prosperous Georgia brethren. Delegates came from as far East as Boston and from as far West as Oklahoma—and no one regretted making the journey. Topeka won the next convention fairly. The speech of Ira O. Guy, in advocacy of the Kansas capital, was a masterpiece He is little—but, Oh, my! Col. A. N. Johnson sang the praises of Mobile in a major key. Deal Jackson of Albany, who created such a favorable impression in the farmers' symposium, has for ten successive years brought to market the first bale of cotton, getting ahead of the planters of the entire South, while Afro-American. The Florida, Arkansas and Mississippi delegations were made up of solid-looking men, and they carried great weight at every stage of the proceedings. Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Illinois came down in a bunch, as did the Boston, New York, Baltimore and Washington contingent. Col. Glen B. Jackson got in some good work for the Jamestown Exposition. His official staff, comprising six beautiful and accomplished young ladies, put up arguments that were simply irresistible, and there were many "almost persuaded" of their account to have the League go to Hampton, Norfolk or Newport New next year. Lawyer W. L. Pollard of Washington resigned a $1,200聘章 in the post office last year to give his whole time to his growing business, and in 1915 for fifteen years had been developing through the assistance of his clerks and agents. He said: "Whether you are a laborer, teacher, preacher, business man, professional man or union of persons for a common purpose, first you seek real estate, pay for it, improve it, and in time all other things will be added unto you." Good gospel—even if slightly revised from the original. Former Connul Richard T. Greene made a "bit." Former Register of the Treasury Judson W. Lyons was in town attending the State central committee conference the day before the League met, but was unable to remain for the sessions. He managed, however, to shake hands with a lot of old-time friends and admirers. The Y. M. C. A. headquarters on Auernburg avenue was the rallying point of the roots. The usual "Jim Crow" restriction were suspended for the week, and nobod had a cross word with the white tradespeople or citizens. Nevertheless and notwithstanding, Editor T. Thomas Fortune would "speak his little piece." Through the courtesy of Lawyer T. H. Malone, we were enabled to inspect the county jail and police station. The officials showed every attention possible. RACE MAGAZINES. Of the three leading Afro-American monthlies each one, we believe, surpass both the others in one respective department. The Colored American Mag under its new editorship, undoubtedly in the editorial department kno "The Month." Almost every sentence tains a ripe and acute opinion in the simplest, most straightforward. The pages are awash, really profound observations parently thrown in carelessly consciousness of its worth; parte seems to believe in it that the real strength predation in the great verse." The editorials of The on the other hand, are in judgment hurry but the magazine has carefully than the oil the best special write Mary Church Terrie, A. L.

It can publicize and render the best September and enter and also SOUTH WILL BE COLOSSUS OF REPUBLIC Chair Kearsel, Editor of The Atlanta Constituted, in The Washington Star. The South of the twentieth century may safely be predicated on the surprise of history. To understand Rohde ahead, guided by the light of the past and thrilled by the suggestions of the future, the task of prophecy is not necessarily difficult. Bringing the eye of an engineer to the world map as outlined by Macfarlane, the mist points are the prominent to be overheard. The sailor is there who would not recognize a safe harbor, or what agent of transportation could fail to see how the river leads to the sea and the sea to all the ports of the opposite shore? Taking these suggestions of nature and looking at the map, the trained eye will see at once where the people ought to be, if they are not, and can safely speculate on their coming when emergency arises. Accident placed the first North Atlantic port at Salem, but the effort of nature to right herself drifted the ship moorings down to Boston, late to New York, and the Chamber of Commerce of the latter city, in order to account for decreases in the shipping trade, has had investigations made from Norfolk to Brunswick. The mysterious hand of nature is still at work in the effort to correct the work of mankind confidence. New York's surprise is no greater now than that of Boston in her turn, but both cities have been the beneficiaries of an accident growing out of politics, by which the South was switched out of a century of progress, which went to the Northeast, and which was swiftly followed there by the inauguration of the cotton milling business, in the oil milling spindle and in work in the oil milling spindle which was secured the profits which formed the capital of other industries. In the early years of the nineteenth century it was New England which rode on the ox cart, and South Carolina and Georgia which went into the building of railroads. The name of Robert Y. Hayne lives in school books as that of the man who replied to Webster. How many are there who knew that Hayne was the original great developer of the South Carolina Legislature as a business man to push the Blue Ridge Railroad scheme, the purpose of which was to connect the great Northwest with 'Charleston'; that while there C. Caliboun indeed him to drop business and take up politics, and thus, while the South slept, New England rushed into the field and secured the coveted territory. Even as it was, the South Carolina Railroad stood as the center of the Union, and stands as the center of Georgia pierced the Cherokee country to the West, which is to this day one of the great trunk lines leading to the sea. The South of to-day, however, has no cause to regret what might be called her mistress of the early years of the century. Connected with the rapid building up of the West, and the profit which resulted therefrom to the East, there were problems. While the population of the West had been built up high because of patriotism as well as of home and morals, the new population pouring to the West had to be weaned from old customs and trained into new, and this, too, without disturbing the serious fruit of Americanism which was kept intact in the South. Our time of filling up the waste places will be met by the American grandons of those emigrants. From the very first time, the most severe service. Thus the very inertness of the Southern people has been to them a blessing. They have been so well drilled and assimilated that no matter how strong the tide of immigration may become they will have the skill and the good sense to direct it. Added to the higher character of the immigration, the advantages of nature have been empirically sized, so that the man will be electric rather than according to the slow measures of the old process. The past twenty-five years furnishes abundant evidence of the internal revolution which has been worked by the forces of enterprise. The great staple of cotton has been redeemed from the unjust criticism of former conditions and stands once more the king of production. During all that time, when diameter was have befallen our balance of trade, it has been unphelled by the regular inward drain of $300,000,000 which came from it. It has been discovered that the world needs very pound produced and that no other can so readily bring the money when used. A great triumph, however, has been development of the cotton factory, which the world has over 90,000,000 spindles in motion, only 15,000,000 of which are on the American continent, the idea seemed peril that this business could be right to Old England and New England. A crop which was worth $300,000,000 in the field became worth, after passing through a foreign loom, in the lowest grade of yarn, $900,000,000, and in the actual manufacture of sheets and prints was worth $1,500,000. Augusta and Columbia, in Georgia, followed by Spartanburg, in South Carolina, deserve the credit of seeing the business which there was in the manufacture as well as in the growth of cotton. Their phenomenal dividends were first attripted to unusual conditions, but other mills began to grow up in every State of the Union, bell and all made money until now at 1,500,000 bales are manufactured he fields. ere were but 104 mills in the South 90, with 301,300 spindles and manning 87,610,880 pounds of cotton. not this for the year 1890 there 14 mills with 3,332,201 spindles turing 64,135,025 pounds. Was ore stupendous revolution made until they create spindles in 1898 was 97 more than the year before, actually doubled since 1892. A per cent, in sixty years was by the closing years of the end the opening years of the try have even better this milon is given to the cot- only because the plant South, but because the 200 which goes into its price which may well m of it in the very front ranks of commercial operators. Time was when iron was krag, but with the immense possibilities contingent upon the cotton trade, iron can only be granted a low-resignation before. With a shipment of $100,000 worth of sheets on a Spartanburg sidetrack at one time to go unbroken to China some idea may be found of what the trade is going to be. The Pacific is to be to the twentieth century what the Atlantic Ocean has been to the world ever since the Mediterranean ceased to float the world's commerce. The ports of Japan, China and all of Asia, as well as of Australia, lie across the water from us. In Asia alone there are 800,000 species in need of protection, requirements of civilization, and requirements for clothing, the manufactures of wool, marble and iron is growing persistently, while their ability to cultivate the genius of the artisan is too remote to be even considered. They have little need for the mere raw material. We must furnish the tailor as well as the cloth, which means that we must prepare to assume the role of being the world's artificer as well as producer of raw material. To reap this harvest of youth is in production, and the nature of material is the great burden. The revolution of 1888, which lurched forth its existence from the guns of the Olympia, has been so stupendous that men have not yet had time to appreciate its importance. It has smashed the lines of sea travel, played horse with old conditions, thrown new points into prominence, and has made the Pacific the great watercourse of the future. Europe may go to Africa down the coast, but the short cut afforded by Sue, but which way she goes, she will find an American front across the way. How prominent this makes the necessity for the Panama Canal and what that means for the South. Take the map again, observe the American continent in the center. The merchant ship out from Sydney, Australia, points nearer even to Europe through Panama than by the present routes, but if the Panama Canal is passed why continue to Liverpool for the very goods which can be obtained in New Orleans or Savannah? The Southern ports of Asia, up to Yeddo, in Japan—they have come to Honolulu, and that is nearer to the Canal than to San Francisco. In their way again stand the cities of South from Corpus Christi, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Atlantic even as far as Norfolk. All along this route they find the cotton manufacturers of our mills, the iron and coal of Alabama and Tennessee, the marble of Tennessee and Georgia, the woods and the tobacco of North Carolina, the sugar of Louisiana, the live stock of the mountain ranges. Look then across the Atlantic, and there stand the ports of Europe, and straight across from us, only 4,000 miles distant, is the hungry continent of Africa. In a straight belt of 500 miles in width, encircling the globe, with the Panama Canal as the center or buckle, the world's commerce revolves. The Gulf of Mexico is to this section what the Mediterranean was to the Old World, and the country coming to the neighbor, the South Atlantic, will be the only opposition could come from Venezuela or Mexico, but as these countries are not populated by votaries of handcraft, the trade will fall to us. The world's commerce which does not go from the ports of the South will pass on the way, and thus all will be in hailing. In anticipating these changes there will be no Ishamalite feeling against other countries, only a recognition of the forces of nature. From the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea, and out of the great sea which was supposed to be the middle of the earth, ships went down to trade. Wherever they went empires were founded and places deserted by them became deserts. From Greece to Rome, across to Carthage and back again, thence to Cadine, and rounding the continent up to the islands of the North, commerce established new towns and gave entrance to Wittelsburg, which might trach the peninsula millions of Europe made the Atlantic their pathways to America, and now we are at the head of the industrial procession and the points of vantage belong to the water fronts of the Southern States of the Union. While great prominence has been given as stated, to the cotton industry as a factor which is building-up the South, it is by no means the only treasure in our storehouse. The very existence of Birmingham, Ala., tells of the rivalry of iron. It is but a little more than a quarter of a century, since a boom in the cotton industry. While much that was connected with the boom was hurtful, it produced good fruit, nevertheless, for it established the existence of coal and iron and lime side by side, and in such deposits that all are illuminable; and it gave us Birmingham, a town not unworthy of the name. Alabama iron has forced its way through the experimental stages. It has not Pennsylvania in the market and carried away the wealth of the country itself and furnished its way into the foundries of Pittsburgh, and now the Birmingham mines are stocked with orders which they have placed on file. The coal and iron deposits of the South extend also through the States of Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, West Virginia and Virginia, so that the industries growing out of it will have a permanent base upon which to build. The iron development has been marked by the same peculiar phase which has been noticed in the growth of cotton milling. Indifference at the first, a sudden realization of what the opportunity was, and then a development so rapid and persistent as to be startling. In all of this let it be remembered that the strong controlling factors have been men native to the soil. Many strangers have joined in and have met with come and encouragement, but the people on the spot have come equal to the emergence and they deserve full credit for their vigilance and ability. The people of the South have suddenly developed a commercial, manufacturing and agricultural skill not to be despised even by retaliation. The general miscellaneous resources of the country are varied and useful. Wood and marble, all the minerals, the food stuffs, every known variety, the fruits, THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1906. a climate healthful and invigorating—all the elements which go to the support of life or to render existence happy—are to be found within this favored territory. Perhaps the strongest has not yet been said of the South. It is questionable the retention of distinctive titles, which might minimise the Americanism of the people, should be continued. The Status in the southern half of the Union are American, and that is the greatest boast of their inhabitants. Whatever sentiment clung around a distinctive appellation in times gone by is now of the past. Of the Union and in the Union, the people of the United States, a laudable desire to lead in the Union. The Navy the North Atlantic sea front, the perity which it has had in times past. They believe that they can offer their brethren of other sections a cheaper and better road to the sea upon which mails the world's commerce. Even as it is in the rivers from the Rocky Mountains and the far northern heights of land, converging in the Mississippi, can float the trade of these people to the sea and back again. The rivers from the Appalachian heights, from Alabama eastward to Virginia and Maryland, can do the same thing. Such immense railroad systems as the Southern, the Souville & Nashville, the Illini, the Southwest, and the Plant and the Planters, and others, pierce every section of the country, make it accessible for travel and the transportation of freight. Politically speaking, the country is equally well off, with educational and religious advantages conferring the highest benefits of civilization. Surely the statements here made, the natural movements of population and trade, the revolution in the distribution of the world's commerce, can point to but one result. The building of the Panama Canal is now an assured fact. It makes the southern waterfront the commercial entreport of the continents. Before the Florida lighthouses will pass the ships from Cape Colony, the Mediterranean can and the Gulf of Finland on the one side, and from Sydney, Manila, Shanghai and Yeddo on the other. Up from either coast of the South American continent will come the ships of the countries there, and the southern coast will be the waterfront of the United States, carrying the business of the country, and strengthened by the prestige of the continent to the north. In the language of one of the most conservative of Southern business men: "We have resources such as we never greet to any other nation; we are so placed as to be the storehouse and the trading exchange of the continents of the world. So apparent is our destiny that if men were to fail Providence would intervene and carry on the work." This is the situation and this is the hope: Before the present century has waned the South will be the Colossus of the Republic. LESSON OF GANS' VICTORY. Fair Play Instincts Not Vittated by Prejudice. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACM: The recent pugilistic contest between Battlet Nelson and Joseph Gans at Goldfield, New, gave an excellent opportunity for the exhibition of the prejudice and the fairness of the American people, and especially that sporting element of the country that follows the ring. No contest in its nature was more calculated to arouse the deep and latent feelings and force the revelation of one's true self. It reached prejudice, never mind how little, and never mind, where it lurked, and gave it expression. The time is especially opportune for the cry of "no quarter," for there never was more united and constant effort to degrade the Negro and to show him unworthy of the consideration of a man and a citizen since the emancipation than now. Yet a representative of this minority portion of the citizenship of the country was dealt with by the police, who dealt with in his fight with Nelson, the battling young pupil by the referee and ungrudgingly given full credit for the demonstration over his white opponent by thousands who witnessed the battle for the lightweight championship. A white man was the judge; those of his race in the pavilion were lost amidst the great white clouds of witnesses, yet Gans got the decision and the testimony of the multitude to the championship. Prejudice might be widespread and rampant in some sections of our country, but it is nevertheless a strongly fought battle in the hearts of the American people. But it seems that this spirit is more abundantly possessed by the sporting element of the country and it may yet be left to them through the exercise of this spirit, to make the Declaration of Independence, which recognizes neither color, race, nor condition, but unity in American citizenship, effective in the fulness of its fairness throughout the length and breadth of our land. Pugilism is brutal, but when a man fights on fair lines and measures up to the standard of the ring he is rated and regarded according to all he makes. Even when he is not in the fight, he is found free and full acknowledgment of merit. What the Negro needs is to know the standards and to measure up along fair lines, and he will find judges in the midst of unfair prejudice to give him decisions when he wins them, and a great company of white witnesses to attest his merit to the world. W. R. LAWTON. Mr. Fortune to Speak. The Young Women's Christian Association last Sunday was addressed by Mr. R. Culhoun, principal of the Eaton village school of Florida; Mr. Glascock, the evangelist from Philadelphia; and Rev. C. Lecroy Butler. Next Sunday, September 16, the public meeting will be held at St. James Presbyterian which will be held in Milwaukee and delivered by Hon. T. Thomas Fortune. Other speakers will be present and a good musical program is promised. Evening classes in English, cooking, sewing and millinery are now being formed. Registration from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. C. T. King is president and R. E. Batta chairman of the Prom committee. Mr. Secretary: Taft has invaded the State of Maine, ostensibly in the interest of Representative Littdeth, whose political career is inundated by Gompers, but in reality in the interests of Mr. Roosevelt and of the whole Republican campaign. We publish elsewhere this morning Mr. Taft's speech, in full, and we command it to all our readers as they read it. We have also and engaging deliverance that has ever come from any member of Mr. Roosevelt's Cabinet on any subject. Mr. Taft allows boldly that Mr. Rosevelt velt himself in the issue of the campaign its only issue, its only possible issue, and he explains why this is in terms of exceeding incidency and conviction. Mr. Taft has swept aside all local matters and all minor questions with a master hand. It is true that he deals with Mr. Gompers as to the particular feature of the canvases in Maine and deals with him in a manner which will make that worthy regret that he ever crossed the Placentago; but the great fact is that Mr. Taft has made the most masterly and effective exposition of the national issue that is positional to make, and that his formulation will benefit forward depend No class with special privilege, no exemption from the operation of the fundamental law for any person or persons, no imperium in impurity, in our form of government; this is his answer to Mr. Gompers and his American Federation. Nothing could be more complete. In other respects Mr. Taft's pronouncement is more like a Presidential message than a contribution to the polemics of a campaign. He sets forth his views as to capital and labor with admirable clearness, and in his exposition of the nature of the trusts, their relation to the body politic, and to the abuses of capital, and imperative necessity, as he sees it, of Federal regulation, he leaves nothing to be desired. We have never been able to agree with Mr. Taft's view that so much new legislation is needed to deal with the abuses that exist and have for years existed. We deprecate all sudden and precipitate legislation of any kind, just as we deprecate the existing measure for rate regulation, which, however meritorious its intent, must in our judgment prove unfortunate, mischievous and ineffectual in its application. We hold and have held that common measures resolutely and ably enforce entirely the rules of regulation, and the Secretary would be the last to deny that the results achieved in some of the very instances he adduces sufficiently support our opinion. It is true that in the present public temper there is little patience with or toleration of the argument that existing law is sufficient for the common need. We recognize that condition of the public mind, but who created it? We had nothing to do with it, and it in no wise disturbs our judgment any more than it does that of the judicial-minded and wellbalanced Secretary of War. All the same, it is incontrovertible that the public mind is too infamous by a violent, radical and distempered press to take much account of the sober processes of the court; the temperament responds only to the severity of the and the perforter in re. This is deplorable; but it is an established condition just as violence, assassination and impatience of all forms of law are an established condition in Russia. Equally deprivable is the truth that at the very spring and origin of all this storm and fury is the conduct of the corporations themes-ves. The gross and criminal dishonesty of railroad management, in conspiracy with the manufacturing and shipping interests to defraud the public and to work the ruin of competitors, has precipitated the whole trouble, and has afforded a quasi-justification for the ruthlessness with which they are now pursued. When we pause to reflect a moment upon what has happened in Russia, upon the causes that have precipitated blood and ruin in a whole nation, we can very readily be thankful that we could apply a needed remedy before the evil had gonzo far. The criminal commerce of the governing oligarchy in Russia, the money bond between Grand Duke and rulers of all degrees and the speculator Bezobrazoff for the felonious exploitation of the public domain; that alone was what caused the war with Japan. The corruption and delamination of all administrative classes led to defeat. Defeat had the awakening of Russian people and their awakening led to the fearful disaster to the nation which is now being unfolded day by day in all its unexamined horror. For the stability and honesty of Mr. Taft's intellectuals let us give heartfelt thanks. Menelik and Abyssinia. From Alexander Mackay magazine. A deal of Interest is now being centered in Abyssinia. The recent signing by King Menelik of the Franco-Italian-British convention relating to railways to be continued guarantees the integrity of the Abyssinian railway, the commercial equality for all countries, and the continuation by the French of the construction of the railway connecting Addes-Aheba with the coast, is a sign of the striking prominence Abyssinia has attained within a comparatively few years. Abyssinia forms a kind of Switzerland in the northern half of the Dark Continent. Owing to the precipitous character of her mountains, the absence of rivers and roads, and the warlike character of her inhabitants, she has maintained her independence from the era of the Queen of Sheba. King Menelik prides himself on being the Lion of the Tribe of Juda. Although Menelik has never left the bounds of his own kingdom, he is a man comparatively well informed on the trend of world politics. He is an ardent admirer of President Roosevelt and has good knowledge of the Spanish-American war. The detainment of the Russo-Iranian war has given such information concerning the civilization of the outside world and knowing the backwardness of his own empire, the tripartite convention was endorsed no doubt, with the firm belief and hope that the civilization of his own people would be advanced. The king has always ruled wisely and we have not the slightest doubt that that he has done a very wise job. He has been the mercy of the world and with railroads penetrating the recurrence of the Interior. Abysinia will start on the road to political and commercial prestige. UNCONSCIOUS STRENGTH. What Could We Not Do If We Know and Used Our Power? From The Southwestern Christian Advocate. There has just passed in front of our office windows a long line of Negro laborers. It was a recognition of Labor Day, and while the Negroes did not march as heretofore in line with the whites, the parade was, nevertheless, long and very respectable. These men represented the various avenues open to colored men in this city. They were neatly dressed; none of them were dwarfs, but all able-bodied men capable of a full day's work. These several thousands of men are the backbone of the Southern industry; they are the capital upon which the Southern promoter may figure with almost fixed certainty, the many complaints to the contrary notwithstanding. But the thought which stirred us most as these men passed was not their strength of muscle or attractive appearance or their position in the industrial world, but the unconscious appreciation of their power. It is said that when a flag was being designed for the Southern Confederacy, that one design was presented to Jefferson Davis showed a Negro sleeping on a bale of cotton, and the question immediately arose in the mind of Mr. Davis, "What will be done with the North?" "And here, viewing from our balcony the long march men who have easy access to labor, we could not help thinking of what power this aggregation of men would be if they should appreciate leadership and were properly led. A mighty factor they could be in a political sense, for notwithstanding what the calamity howlers may may, it will be a dark day for the American Negro when he surrenders his political rights. Every man who at all appreciates the meaning of his citizenship must be no classes in our American citizenship. If this great body of Negro laborers should become informed, patriotic citizens, and vote their sentiments, they would command a hearing. But more, what if those men should realize the grind and the absolute oppression that come constantly to the American Negro and determine by every bit of their power to remove, as far as they may be able, every cause for oppression and tyranny? What a change there would be in the race life! But more still; the Negro race is a poverty-stricken race; almost penniless compared with the world's great wealth. What if these men should unite their savings and concentrate their business transactions in the hands of the men of their own race? It does not take a prophet to say in a very limited time there would be common houses that would take front rank; and not only confidence in the race would be strengthened because of this commercial development. And then again, what if these men should become conscious of their moral and spiritual power for the changing of the condition of their people in this city, as well as in other cities? Here they march in a line several miles long with a number of brass bands, their officers conceived in carriages under beautiful, if extravagantly, decorated banners. What if these men addition to looking after their children, their wife, should also determine upon the moral betterment of their people, the condition of the race in this country would improve by leaps and bounds. Our people are unconscious of their power. They are but Samsons whose heads are in Delilah's lap of pleasure and ease. They need to be awakened. They need to be united in their effort. They need to become men of one purpose, namely, the securing for the American Negro a decent place in our civilization at the earliest moment possible. If these men would for one twenty-four hours without bread and water contemplate the seriousness of their environment, their political and commercial world and awaken them to the precondition of their power, realizing that upon them, and upon them more than any one else rests the tremendous responsibility of bringing about a better day for their people, the condition of the Negro race would improve at a most gratifying rate. INDUSTRIAL TRAINING SPREADS. Up-State Farmers Want Agriculture Taught in Schools. At last it has come to pass. Our Maxwells in the City Board of Education have insisted upon teaching children how to see, how to cook and how to be little mothers in emergencies. Now our farmer friends up State have a strong movement for the teaching of agriculture in the public schools. They want their boys to study less about Napoleon and more about the scientific care of crops. They can't see that the rise and fall of the Earl of Chatham has to do with the success of a boy who in years to come is to run a market garden or garden or to teach a child how to cook, all they say that if it is necessary for the city child to know how to sow and to cook, the country pupil should have his choice of studies that hit near home. At first glance it seems odd that a farmer should be anxious to force this line of study upon local schools. One would suppose that the experience of farm hand, plus that of the farmer, would be the best training for a boy. The fact i. however, that years of toil have not made farming perfect. Crops go wrong, even when the weather is right. Cows work brilliantly in the field, work of agricultural burrows has been of great benefit, and the men who appreciate what Cornell College has done are anxious that the agricultural course should be a feature of the schools. Centuries of contact with the soil does not make for success. The fame of Irish potatoes would suggest that there is nothing for the Irish farmer to learn in this branch of crop cultivation, yet the newest movement in Ireland is the establishment by the Archbishop of Tuam of a great agricultural school that will do away with the potato blight and the ruin at intervals of the turnip and cabbage. The real says that education is till this soil is the most necessary element in promoting the prosperity of the farmer. He proves his case by showing that men graduated from agricultural schools have been able to grow 400 bushels of potatoes to an acre and have made what grow in what was regarded as barrens (Incorporated under the Laws of New York State) This Company has an its principal object the better housing of the largest Tenant Cain.

Enterprising Ambitions Revealed in "The Dollar Mark." In a little magazine entitled The Dollar Mark, apparently dedicated in general to the propaganda of Boer T. Washington's principle that the Negro will be saved by getting hold of the dollars, and in particular to enterprises undertaken by Negro capital, it is made evident that Southern Negroes are not going to boycott the Jamestown Exposition whatever a class of Negroes in the North may do. The whole magazine is rampant with Negro enterprises for money-making, chiefly, however, in the line of real estate investment. The article that reveals the real attitude of the Negroes regarding the Jamestown Exposition, which is especially interesting because of the diligence and energy with which a contrary impression has been worked up here in Boston, is one setting forth the probable profits in a stock company composed and financed by colored and employing colored artists, to provide and entertain of other people at the Exposition. In June a company was organized and chartered under the laws of Virginia known as the Afro-American Amusement Company, for this purpose, and in its prospectus it is "conservatively estimated that there will be on an average of a hundred thousand colored people in attendance at the Exposition each and every month—the Exposition will last six months. This will mean 600,000 colored people with money to spend." Several great fortunes have already been made by Negroes in the prisons and amusement enterprises and it appears that they require diversion, are naturally fun-loving; and that no race in the world is more especially gifted both for participating in and for contributing to amusement.

Cg Newlett, Managua aug16-1y millions of money to establish, that basic principle there before he died. Nor do they intend to stop at Newport News either. Still another enterprise, sketched in The Dollar Mark, is the better housing of the colored people of Harripsburg, Pa. On the plea that the presence of colored tenants depreciates property value the Negroes have in Harripsburg been crowded into a deplorable condition which is a menace not only to the blacks but to the entire city. The Negro writer candidly admits that it is true that the propinquity of a colored household has a tendency in the present state of America to depreciate property, but pleads it is equally true of the prince of Italian immigrants as a claust. "But such people and the Olimnican can live in colonies by themself," and the framers of a project scheme Harripsburg Negroes propose to remove the stigma by making the colored quarter one of the trimiest and cleanest and most creditable in that city. All these enterprises give point and force to the plea of *The Dollar Mark*, that the Negroes should invest their savings in "colored enterprises." An article entitled "Why Colored People Should Invest Their Savings in Colored Enterprises," by J. Thomas Newsome, makes the argument that, taking advantage of the law of supply and demand, the colored people should put their earnings where there is the liveliest call for them. The white man can secure abundant capital after the exceedingly small and uncertain savings in *The Negro*. Then again, if an enterprise is a success in the Negro company the Negro invest shares in the plum; "in corporations or private concerns corporated by members of the other race he may get the interest of his money, perhaps, but he knows in the very start that the "door of hope" is closed against him further than that." In short, wherever you turn the pages of *The Dollar Mark* you find practical: shewndness and pat arguments well calculated to obtain the "ten, fifty or one hundred dollars" which the thrifty Negro has to invest. It is not to be married at the Rev. H. H. Council, president of the National College, one of the largest industrial institutes, written to the projector of *The Dollar Mark*. "I did not think in my day that I would see such business energy, ability and push as is manifested by your enterprise, developed by our race in this country at so late a date after freedom." N. Y.

Where Negroes Are Still Sold at Public Auction. From The London Daily Graphic. One by one the great slave markets of the world are disappearing; yet, within three hours' steam of Gliratral, Morocco remains one of the very few countries where the public auction of Negroes, and other than Negroes, may still be witnessed. Any traveler who finds his way to the imperial city, Marrakesh, should make a point in taking its faction maker, the recently deceased, the attention of the Powers. A century ago, it was no uncommon firing for English men and English women—the captives of the Rufous of that day—to pass into lifelong slavery from the very same yard, large and squallid, where I have just witnessed the auction of some twenty-five natives. It seems hard to believe that while England was waging war with Napoleon the main duty to appeal to the Rufous in hand, and with ample offerings of carriages and cannons—which the Moors described as tribute—for the release of British crews and their wives, who had the ill fortune to be captured by the famous covers of Sallie and Rabat. Faithful records of these transactions may yet be found in the diplomatic and consular reports of the period. At about 5 o'clock on a Thursday afternoon the proceedings of the Marrakesh auction opened with prayer—the eight or ten minutes before the divine blessing upon both buyers and seller. In this appeal, I remarked, the slaves were not mentioned. Then, leading his chattails from one group of possible buyers to another, stating the amount of the last bid, the presence of Europeans is not welcome at these sales; but nothing was said to us, excepting that we were not enough, not to walk about. For any onlooker to move from his place would, it seems, be a breach of slave auction etiquette. No writer in search of startling effects need visit the Marrakesh market. The whole thing is, as a rule, businesslike, not to say humidim. Naturally enough, the slaves, especially the girls, are dressed in a coat, and artistically groomed, and in many cases the master, looked forward to with pleasure. Somehow other the horror we have all felt at some period of our lives evaporates considerably on facing the reality. It is quite obvious, for one thing, that the average Moorish Negro does not want freedom. It is also a fact that in blue cases out of ten he is afraid than a free person of his capacity that he has no uncommon thing for a freed slave to embrace himself and share the price paid with the friend who poses as original owner. We all, in theory, recognize the something wrong in slavery; but in some mysterious way: theory and practice clash. Of one thing we may rest assured. A politician who offers a theory would emphatically reject an offer theory which entailed the responsibility of working like an ordinary laborer. OUTRAGE OF WHITE SOLDIERS. Tennessee Militia Fired on Afro-Amer-icans and Nothing Said. From The Nashville Globe. Man's conception of what, is a distastefully deed too often depends upon the color of the perpetrator. A few weeks ago some members of the United States Infantry located at Fort Brown made a raid upon Brownsville, killed one man, wounded another, and shot into a number of the residences. The affair was given due prominence in the press of the country, and there was a general demand for the removal of the troops from the State. In some quarters it was even advised that Negroes be debarred from service in the army. In this episode there was undoubtedly another side different from the account sent out by the Associated Press, and we felt then and feel now that a thorough investigation should be made and the blame placed where it rightly belonga.

Tickets, call or address The discussion caused by the Brownsville incident had scarcely ceased when the local papers stated that the Tennessees see militia, enroute home from the munitions at Chickamauga fired upon the innocent citizens of Eatil Springs, breaking the windows in their homes, ploughing up the earth with bullets and in other ways frightening the people of that locality. In explanation of the conduct of the soldiers an officer claims that only blanks were fired and that these could not possibly injure any one unless he was within five or ten feet of the discharged weapon, or that they certainly would not break a window. It was fur her stated that the boys only shot at colored people and this was done to frighten them. Whether the soldiers, fired blanks, as claimed by the officers, or regulation balls, as stated by the constable at Estill Springs, we do not know. But we know that the firing upon the peaceful inhabitants of a place without any protection is, indeed, reproducible and demands a thorough investigation at the hands of the authorities and those found guilty should be punished.

A GRAND PICNIC He Has Shown Up the Value of Self-Defense. To the Editor of TU New York Age: As a soldier the Negro has proved that he is brave even to the point of recklessness, that under fire he is a stranger to fear. But of what awail is this wanton disregard for one's own life in the defense of the government? Why make the world wonder at San Juan to be hissed, jeered and even fired upon by the ungrateful people of a country whose honor he has upheld? Heroism displayed in battle is not to be despised or discounted. But that which prompts the laying down of one's life in times of peace to protect the name of the lives of his wife and little ones is of more value. With every weapon taken from him by the laws of the Southern States the Negro is as helpless as a servf in the hands of men who need only a pretent to tanzalize, intimidate and murder him. But the Afro-American people need not be without the means of defence; every cabin could and should be an arsenal. To this appalling situation the entire race seems indifferent; they frolic, they drink, they dance away precious time, and when danger comes the only weapons they have with which to contend with rifles are brick-bats. They bring from the South the same dull-maye-spirit spirit of the North, and they excusable, they are in riotous times at the mercy of "uncircumcised dogs" who beat and cuff them with immunity. When David Hawkins, double banked by ruffians, fired the shot which precipitated the riots in South Brooklyn less than two years ago, as is usually the case we were unstinting in abuse of this "bad man." But David Hawkins knows that the "Golden Rule" is not to be applied doing double shooting, the only commodities that bring respect. Let us brevet him "Captain" Hawkins, for he is master of the situation in Baltic street and vicinity. When this man of iron left the court room after the trial of riots, he went immediately to the acceses of the shooting and not a tough assayed to molest him. Since that time assaults upon innocent questioned; colored men being knocked down and beaten in broad daylight. But "Captain" Hawkins moved about with perfect freedom. "Captain," Hawkins was not at home when about two weeks ago two white roughs entered Baltic street and in front of his door beat a fourteen-year-old boy into insensibility with Negro men looked on and even ran away. "Captain" Hawkins was taken by a far different tale to tell of that fractes. It's "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" in dealing with toughs. "JACK TROXLE" Hawkins, September 10, 1906. To Play for Cricket Pennant. On next Saturday afternoon, the two teams tied for the pennant in the New York Cricket association will play the deciding game on the Prospect Park parade grounds at 2:30 o'clock.

On last Saturday the West Indian Cricket club went to Van Cortlandt Park to play the Yankers Cricket club, and succeeded in adding another victory to their string. sept 13 2t. BR'ER WILKINS·STUNG. Pathetically Relates How a Preacher Heat Him Out of 88. From The Chicago Conservator. We love nice, good, honest Christian ministers because we believe, them the best and most sacrificing set of men on earth, and we love to serve such men of God as being pleasing in the eyes of our Mank.. But bad and ill-designing men get into the ministry nowadays sometimes just as Judas lacerati got among the twelve disciples of Christ. Early in the summer when excursions and church services go the go and the churches were visibly making a little extra money out of them preacher with a pious, prizefly look and dress with a soft, John the Divine voice, contracted with the *Conservator* for an advertisement for a joint excursion-picnic between his and another big church. The agreement was to pay for the "ad" immediately after the excursion. But it wasn't paid and nothing said about it until more than a week after the excursion when we called up the big, holy preacher to know why our by saying none of the managers of the excursion had seen the advertisement in money had not come in. He answered The Conserver and did not believe we put it in. We replied that the paper circulated all over the north side and he himself was a subscriber to the paper, and it was a little strange that no one of them had seen it. To convince him and as a step toward getting our money we asked the preacher to send him marked copies of the two issues having the "ad" in, if theious preacher would agree to give us our money when he received them. He agreed to it and we marked and malled him the papers. Then after waiting nearly a week for the promised money we called the reputed good man up and asked what caused the bitch. He then said he had seen the "ads" in the paper as we claimed they were and told us to write to a Brother Granbury on East Division street, who was "a good honest man and would pay it." We wrote Brother Granbury and he wrote back a long 4-page letter which no one in the office could declipher. The only thing we could understand about the letter was that it did not contain the long-promised money. Just before the sanctified petition came forward, he called him up again and begged him to be honest enough to give us our money before going to the Conference. He replied that he would not and that when he came back he would only pay part of it, as the other big church got half of the benefit, and we haven't got our money yet. We don't expect it now. Any man, preacher or no preacher, that would stoop to hold up and beat a Negro enterprise out of $4 by downright juggling and lying is not likely to care enough for his honor to pay $4 after his character is passed an O. K. by his Bishop and brethren at the Conference. We give it up to him and warn the people that he will beat others the same way with the chance. If Baby is Cutting Tooth.
