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.

BOASTED ME THE TED'ROPES
FOR LYZNCHING; ACQUITTED
SALLEBURY, N. 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

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.

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

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.

3. 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. Farrell is being attenuously supported by his board in his trilogy: Why? It looks like a deal between the Democratic and the elected leader, and Tammany, to let the Democratic win in the elections. A vote for Farrell, in a vote
4. Mr. Hahn has been bitterly fought by the Democrats of the country because they have no hope of controlling him. They know that if he is elected to the presidency his best to build up a powerful Republican organization in his district.
5. Mr. Hahn has been all his life an exponent of the open door and no real deal in politics.
S. Farrell represents Jim Crow and the team to introduce the "Lilly White" methods of the South into New York. 6. Farrell was not even present to vote on the resolution endorsing the Railroad bill, making playgrounds for Afro-Americans possible in San Anselmo. 7. An Aberman his record has been 0.

S. Mr. Farrell is sure to lose. Wise men always leave a snaking ship.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

PHILADELPHIA. 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 first Thursday in September is always set aside for the great Afro-American turnout. The dinner hour is always a great feature of the day. 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.

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. Mr. Scroggins says: "Credit is due every member

whose name is on the roll and keeps his dues paid up." 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.

NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1906.
Brilliant Instructors and Broad Curriculum.
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."

‘There ‘has just pamed in froat of oat

borers. It was a Fieogaition of Labor
Day, and while the Negros did not
march ‘as heretofore in line with’ the
whites, the paride was, nevertbeleas, loo
and very respectable. These men repre

what power this aggregation of meu
would be if they should appreciate lead-
ership and were properly led.
‘A mighty factor they could be in a
political sense, for notwithstanding what
the calamity bowlers may say, it will ben

ho surrenders bis political rights. Every
man who at all appreciates the meaning
of the American flag knows that there
munt be no classes iz our American citi-

they would command # herir.

writer candidly admta that It is true that

All these énterprisce ire polot and

that the Negrooa should iavest thelr sar:

entitled “Why Colored People Sbould Im
vent Their Savings in Colored Enter.

the argument that, taking advantage of
the Inw of supply and demand, the cok
ered people should put their’ earnings
where there is the liveliest call for them.
‘The white man can secure abundant capt
tal; but Negro enterprises are keen and
cager after “the excecdingly “email and
uncertain mavings of the Negro.” Then
again, if an enterprise In a great success,

In short, wherver you turn the pagess
