Voters Name Him for Their Low Political Status in This District—Election District Leader George M. Keith received an auspicious gift in the convention held Wednesday of last week to elect officers for the Arte American Republican club of the 9th Assembly district. The sensuous of opinion in the district absolutely was that Keith should be elected, and it would have taken but a word to stampede the passing to either P. A. Johnson or Mr. George E. Ganaway. But as the piece of leader had been pledged to Keith in a previous success, the men felt they were in honor bound to elect him. So they did, unanimously. But before electing him they did, what was in their opinion, the next best thing to defending him; they unanimously adopted a set of resolutions, drawn up by Mr. W. H. Summerson and presented by Mr. Earle R. Lightbourne, which practically take the power out of the hands of the leader and vest it in the other elected officers. These revolutionary resolutions will be part of the club's by-laws and rules and are as follows: We, the colored Republicans of the 9th Assembly district, in convention assembled, have hereby vote our continents regarding the plebiscite of our elected officers in the district in the administration of office; that they are empowered to perform specific duties for the protection of our rights and privileges and for the persecution of our transgressions. Do it resolved that it will be the duty of our leader to be present at all times with and seek the councils of our elective, officers, who are our representatives on all organisation pertaining to the interest of this organisation; that our leader must obtain the necessary assistance to be able him to appoint a chairman or any number or members of the executive board organisation such as president or petitioner. Both carefully considered by our elected officers; and, furthermore, that it will be the duty of each elected officer to support the leader in his endeavor to bring this organisation lasting and beneficial results. Other resolved: That any candidate accepting office in this organization will by the acceptance of said office manifest his approval of the principles stated in these resolutions. Resolved, that these resolutions be placed upon our minutes and be incorporated into-by laws for the guidance of our organization and the protection of its voters. And that the effect immediately on the election of the officers of the colored Republican organization of the 9th Assembly district. Many and strong camps are alleged for the prevalent dimission with Keith's leadership during the last two years. The Afro-Americanians of the 9th Assembly district have under his guidance secured the least political recognition in proportion to their numbers of all the Afro-Americanians in New York. Americanians in the County Committee the 18th, with only a few more Afro-American voters, has nine members. The 9th, with half of its Republican voters Afro-American, had not a single Afro-American delegate to the State Convention; the 25th, with less than a third as many Afro-American voters, had two Afro-American delegates. When the 9th Assembly district night, its 89 per cent. of Afro-American voters were not vocationed a single officer, not even a sergeant-at-narms, to represent them. On the other hand, both the Parrell and Hahn organizations in the 18th have Afro-American officers; the 26th Assembly district club has an Afro-American vice-president, and Mr. Overton is an officer in the 17th Assembly district organization. The Afro-American voters of the 9th do not attribute their low political status to Mr. Windolph, who is known to be personally friendly to them, but to the timidity and selfishness of Mr. Kelth. In his reason they have refused him the power to govern the power to fairs in the future as responsibly as he har in the past. In the future he will little more than be a figurehead with an empty title. The election was a stormy one, and charges of treachery and bad faith to which many declare Mr. Keith himself was a party, are still restounding. In the caucus the week before the members on motion of Samuel D. Stuart, pledged themselves to support in the convention the state adopted in the caucus. On the state Mr. William T. Hooper was named the humanist election meeting. Yet this humanist Stuart, in meeting was called to order, obtained recognition and nominated W. T. R. Richardson as chairman. The motion was seconded by the shifty Watson, another man who had pledged himself to Hooper. As the chairman, when elected, would name the committee which would nominate the officers of the club, and Richardson was a candidate for the presidency himself, the members, immediately saw in the motion of Stuart a plan to kuffe the whole state, except the county which was nominated. Keith himself appears in a very pretty light in the whole transaction, according to many observers in the 5th. If he recognized Stuart, they in the 5th, without knowing what his motion would be, then Keith showed himself unfit to provide at any meeting whatsoever. even. If Kelth know what Stenner's mother would be they may on the other hand that he win a parity to the abstempe regulation of the state to which he had played his support, and an accomplice in the volume to degrade and weak the district organization by placing at its head a man, like Richardson, whom no self-competing man could afford to be enapposed with. It is said that Stenrt and Wesley try to defend themselves by pleading that they had written orders from Kelth to support Richardson and kath Hoeamer. But wherever the guillot lie, the scheme failed. Mr. Lighthouse nominated Mr. Hooper and he was overwhelmingly elected. It was now that Mr. Lighthouse introduced the resolutions which tie up Keith's hands good and tight. Then Mr. Hooper appointed a nominating committee of eleven, who reported as follows: For leader, George M. Keith; president, George L. Lee; first vice-president, Darie R. Lighthouse; second vice-president, James D. Turner; financial secretary, W. H. Summerson; treasurer, George E. Gangway; and sergeant-at-arms, William Drayton. The report was adopted by acclamation. During the meeting the following resolutions on the Atlanta massacre were introduced and unanimously adopted: Whereas, Injustice and discrimination against the race have come to our notice Be it resolved, that we, the Afro-American voters of the Ninth Assembly District, New York City in convention assembled, do hereby protest, against the infamy and barbarian heaped upon the colored citizens of Atlanta, Georgia, in the past few days: Be it further resolved, that we condemn the action of the white citizens of Atlanta, Georgia, in violation of the constitution of respectable colored citizens of that city and State and as an affront to the civilization of the world; and while we condemn the criminal element of our race, we feel that in justice to the law-abiding colored citizen, the law, and not mob rule, should prevail; that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the Governor of the State of Georgia, and a copy to TWN New York AOE. First Afro-American So Honored in That State. NEWARK, September 30.—Mr. Albert C. Fletcher, an Afro-American, has been appointed deputy sheriff of Buxwu county by Sheriff Frank H. Someta. This is the first time in New Jersey that an Afro-American has been made a deputy sheriff. Mr. Fletcher is a member of the League for Limited Franchises and Equal Taxation, better known as the Colby movement. N. C. EDUCATION BOARD E. A. Johnson's "History of the Negro Race" Adopted as a Text. RALKOH, N. C., September 28.—At the recent meeting of the North Carolina State Board of Education Prof. E. A. Johnson's "History of the Negro Race" was adopted as a supplementary reader for use in the public schools of the State. But few white histories mention 'the Afro-American, and those that do only speak of him as a slave and a menial, and make no mention of anything creditable he has done in peace or war. It is a sign of progress to have a book written by an Afro-American adopted by a white State Board of Education. NELSON SAYS HE'LL FIGHT But Gans Will Fight Only for Winner Take All. Detroit, September 28—Battling Nelson has made a statement here that he would fight Joe Gans or no one. As Gans will fight him only on the condition that the winner take all it is highly improbable that these two fighters will meet again soon. It is generally believed that Nelson is willing to consent to Gans' terms, but Manager Billy Nolan is determined that his charge shall not battle with Gans unless the purse is to be divided whereby Nelson will get a goodly share of the receipts whether he wins or loses. Gans is in a position now to refuse to be dictated to by Nolan. 20,000 HOMES OWNED IN POPULATION OF 80,000 Memphis Has 126 Business Enterprises and 90 Churches. JACKSON, Tenn., September 23.—The Christian Index publishes this week the following gratifying statistics about Afro- Americans in Memphis: Afro-American population, 80,000; business enterprises of various kinds 125; churches, 90; schools and colleges, 35; dry goods and grocery stores, 38; banks, 35; doctors, 12; doctors, 12; drug stores, 1; real- estate agents, 6; newspapers that own their shops, 3; contractors and mechanics, 75; printers, 30; employed in postoffice, 100; laundries, 2; lodges, 4; editors, 4; cap- italists, 15; hotels and restaurants, 60; porters, cooks and other servants, 3,000; homes owned, 20,000. Republican Matter Adopts "Lily White" Remediation. MUSKOON, I. T., September 24—The Republican Editorial Association of the Third Congressional district met here today and passed resolutions declaring against the Afro-American and for the separation of the two races in the various walks of life. The resolutions favor separate schools, separate coaches and visiting rooms for Afro-American students in the nomination of an Afro-American on any election ticket, and state that they will use every means in their power to prevent such a move. COUNCIL HERE NEXT WEEK COUNCIL HERE NEXT WEEK Delegates Expected From All Over the Country—Good Work of Committee of 100 The National Afro-American Council, which aims to restore and maintain the civil and political rights of Afro-American citizens under the United States Constitution, meets in New York city on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week. The session Tuesday will be held at St. Mark's M. E. church, 363rd street between 7th and 8th avenues. Wednesday's sessions in the morning and afternoon will be held at Mt. Olivet Baptist church, 53rd street, between 6th and 7th avenues. Wednesday night a mass meeting will be held, at Cooper Union at 8 o'clock. Thursday's sessions will be held in Mother Cion A. M. E. church, 89th street between Columbus and Amsterdam avenues. Several additions have been made to the program as printed in last week's Ack. On Thursday night Dr. Booker T. Washington will deliver an address on "The Requirements of Citizenship." On Wednesday night ex-Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback, Hon. John E. Millolland and Mr. T. Thomas Fortune will be some of the speakers on "Lynching and Its Remedy." The delegates to the Council who are expected from all over the country, would be given an hour to their deliberations were not to an extent colored by the two recent massacres in Atlanta. We may expect to hear some sombre sounding strain and again during the sessions. Bishop Walters has designated next Sunday as a day of prayer in all the Afro-American churches of the country. Special church services will be held all over the country to arouse the people to the dangers with which their lives and liberties are threatened. The Council of headquarters will be at the Council Y. M. C. A. building, 250 West 63d street. Local interest has been worked up with energy by weekly meetings of the Committee of One Hundred in the various churches. Some money has been raised, too. A full list of the committee and its officers will be found below. The Committee of One Hundred met Tuesday night at the Union Baptist church, West 63d street. The attendance was large. The committee accepted the offer of Cooper Union by John E. Milholland for a great mass meeting next Wednesday evening. Dr. Gilbert's church will give a Council a special distribution Sunday and the other churches of the city have been asked to do the same. The committee will meet next Monday evening at the C. Y. M. C. A., West 63d street. The collection for the evening was $20.87. The committee held its regular meeting Thursday night of last week at the Abassinian Baptist church, Dr. C. S. Morris, pastor. Bishop Walters presided Mr. Pierre Zeno, Brooklyn's strenuous public spirit citizen, made a strong speech against the Council's banquet in a banquet. Dr. W. Brooks, Wibec and Attorney C. C. Cornish made speeches in the banquet. The speeches brought forth hearty applause and by the votes cast the banquet feature was cut out. Strong speeches were made by Dr. Gilbert and others denouncing John Temple, ple Graves and Hoke Smith for their incendiary campaigns which developed into a hot flame of persecution of defenseless and law abiding Afro-Americans. That the citizens of Brooklyn are thoroughly interested in the work of the Afro-American Council was made more than manifest on Thursday evening, September 27 when the committee under the auspices of the Brooklyn Local Council in the auditorium of the Concord Baptist church, while within two blocks, at Fletch street A. M. E. Zion and Bridge street A. M. E. churches, a large wedding and a popular choir concert were being held respectively. The meeting was called to order by Commander Pierre Zeno* of William Lloyd Garrison Post 207, G. A. R. Dr. W. H. K. Butler, presiding elder of the new district of the New York A. M. E. conference, read the scriptures and Rev. Stith W. Timms, pastor of Holy Trinity Baptist church, pronounced the invocation. Colonel Zeno introduced Dr. Lawton as master of ceremonies, and gave a brief outline of the objects and almae the council, in which he wrote, "The Negro is organised all over the country into societies to serve of the sick and bury the dead and they have their churches, clubs, clubs and literary organisations; but strugue to say, forty years of freedom have not produced any tangible organisation for self-defence. The Afro-American Council was the only organised force for such protection, and its life for the past eight years has been spasmodic." Everybody held their breath when Dr. W. L. Hunter was introduced, for they expected an explosion. But he advocated the cultivation of friendship with the best white people everywhere as a means of winning their sympathy, influence and help in the fight we are making for justice, a square deal and the protection of the doctors, lawyers, ministers, school teachers, business men and all were put in the same class with loafers and burns. When it gets to the point where merit, good behavior, integrity and honesty count for nothing, mild be, our case is hopeless. (Continued on second page.) Knox of Piedmont and Shaw of Piedmont and Shaw of Piedmont PHILADELPHIA, October 2.—The Afro-American in the State are beginning to play politically the white man play it. Pennsylvania now has two Afro-American champions for the Legislature. Mr. George A. Nolls, one of the ablest leaders in Pittsburgh, is running on an independent ticket with a favorable outlook. In the 7th ward of Philadelphia Dr. W. M. Slowes has been nominated for the Legislature by the Commonwealth party, after both the regular Republicans and the Lincoln party had tricked their Afro-American constituents. This ward has the largest Afro-American vote north of the Potomac, and Dr. Slowes will be elected or defended by the votes of his own people. During this scrap two hustling Afro-American have been appointed to substantial jobs. State Treasurer Berry, a former state senator, W. Howard, founder of Howard's Magazine, to a plaque in the treasury department. Director of Supplies Robert Grier has just appointed William F. Phillips to a municipal clerkship. GOV. COX AT LAST WILL PROBE SHOOTING BY WHITE SOLDIERS They Gaily Shoot Into House Imperilling Lives. MEMPHIS, Tennessee, September 28.—About the time the Afro-American soldiers—150 of whom had medals as markmen—had thrown Brownville, Tex., into a tank the Firemen encampment regiment (white) returning from the encounter at Chickensauga, abot into the houses of citizens near Estill Springs, smashing window panes and endangering lives. Now Governor Cox, driven by a number of complains, has at last decided that the outrage should be investigated, and has asked Colonel Tatum for a report. Supposing these white soldiers had been Afro-American YOUTHS FORM KU KLUX; NABRED BY THE POLICE Red Warned Afro-American to 'Get Home Before Dark.' CAMBOLIZON, *Ga.*, September 28.—On yesterday the municipal police force unrestricted an ambeye Ku Kux Klan and promptly halted the captured members to the mayor's court. Circulars had been sent, among others, to be in their home by 7 o'clock and to stay away from dark places and threatening vengeance upon them if caught after dark. This circular was signed "K. K. A." A short investigation led to the suspicion of a young dentist of this place, Dr. Ray Sox, and another young man by the name of Red Thornton. They acknowledged the re-entry of the suspect, and give the names of others supposed to belong to the gang. These boys were placed under bond to appear for trial, and their trial will be had at an early date. FINED FOR REFUSING TO ANSWER AFRO-AMERICAN LAWYER Consist of Roosevelt Got Fresh in a Washington Court. WASHINGTON, September 28.--Miss Anna P. Thomas, represented to be a counse of President Roosevelt, was a wit- ness in police court to day against a prisoner defended by an Afro-American lawyer. "I refuse to answer questions asked by a darky," Miss Thomas said. He isn't a darky." Judge Mulvany sated that he is an American citizen and a member of the bar. He is defending this man, and he has a right to ask you questions." "I refuse to answer a Negro," she insisted. "You must answer," His Honor re- plied. "I won't, even for you." "...ademan, you had better be quiet." "...keep yourself." "I shall be coopted to fine you unless you are quiet." "You won't fine me." "Madam, I fine you $10, in default of which I will send you to jail for two days." Judge Mulloway announced. Miss Thomas was escorted from the stand' and her fine was paid. SOUTHERN WHITE PREACHER CALLS DIXON THE DEVIL Urges His Congregation to Stay Away From "The Clanman." SAVANNAH, September, 28—Under the subject of "Compromising Religion," the Rev. Robert Van, Deventer, pastor of the Duffy street Baptist church, advised his congregation to stay away from "The Clanman" when it is presented here, for the reason that to patronise the play would be to compromise with the devil. The minister paved the way for the roast he administered to the play by announcing that he was going to play. Then he said that "There is in The Morning News of to-day a flaming advertisement about what is going to happen in Savannah the coming week: I mean The Clanman." He said all the merit the play possesses was given to it through newspaper notoriety. He said that while he was visiting in Maine and in Nova Scotia he spoke of "The Clanman," and the people up there had never heard of Thomas Dixon, Jr., or of any of his three books. The speaker characterised "The One Woman" as the "worst of all." Yet, you would think from what has been told down here that no other book had ever been written." And added, "The Clanman" is a bad book, and went further and mild it isn't true. He said it wasn't the Ku Klux that moved the people, and particularly not the South Carolina bande. On Tuesday of last week when all Afro-Americans who could get away were fleeing from Atlanta, and when all not in Atlanta were congratulating themselves, Dr. Washington left New York on the fast Southern express for the scene of the atrocious race riots. This is but another example of Dr. Washington's simple but extraordinary courage; and so striking an instance as this cannot but thrill all who know it. The Afro-Americans of the South especially will know how to appreciate it. Dr. Washington reports in another column that the riots have entirely subsided and that the best whites and Afro-Americans are holding conferences to prevent their ever recurring. Mayor Woodward and the police board are investigating the behaviour of the police force during the riots. Captain English of the Governor's staff says that "ten good policemen commanded by an efficient officer could have dispersed the mob." The Fulton county grand Jury has denounced The Atlanta News for its diabolical work in inciting a race war. Judge Pendleton has denied writs of habeas corpus to all of the whites sent to the stockade for participation in the rioting. The citizens and the City Council have subscribed over $5,000 to care for the relatives of the riot's victims. The City Council offers a reward of $200 for the arrest and conviction of anyone who had a hand in the killing of innocent Afro-Americans. Governor Terrell has issued a proclamation offering rewards aggregating several thousand dollars for the arrest, with proof to convict of a felony, of any persons who participated in the riots. The governor offers $200 each for the first five arrests and convictions; $100 each for the next ten, and $50 each for every subsequent person arrested and convicted of murder, rioting or any other felony. In his proclamation of reward the governor refers specifically to the loss of property as the result of the mob's work, and to the murders of innocent persons. A campaign is on against the saloons and dives in the black slums of the city. Nearly all the big Russian newspapers have editorially retorted upon America its own criticism of Russian murders of Jews because of their race. The Atlanta massacre has made it difficult for America to criticise lawlessness in any other country. ATLANTA, Ga., October 1—It is the old white aristocracy of the South, the descendants of former slave owners, who have come to rescue the Afro-Americans of this city from the murderous assaults of the poor white class. Atlanta is a "poor white trash" town. The aristocrats are in a great minority. Yet, so powerful is the influence of the latter class that, recovering quickly from its antefeaction and horror, it planned and adopted successful measures to crush back the maddened-poor whites, who correspond to the Jew-balters of Russia. Referring After Drkauch. Atlanta reminds one of the cold gray dawn of the morning after. 'Its heart is penitent, its head is more, its conscience pricks, its. proud escutcheon and good name have been tarnished the world over. Therefore Atlanta is fergaly for reform I these days of remorse after its debauch of Afro-American killing.' No matter what the explanations, the one ghastly fact will not blot out that at least twelve men were murdered in the principal streets of town simply because they had black skins. These victims had no connection with any of the crimes exciting the people: they were miles away from the scenes of assault, and most of their deaths in ignorance of the causes of the attacks. *Aristotleans vn. "White Trach"* The best friends of the Afro-American among the white men of Atlanta are those most prominent for wealth and position. They are the ones who matched the reins of public sentiment away from the mob and quickly turned the whole city about face. Their influence to-day is pressing forward relentless insecurity and prosecution with announced determinations that the guilty mob leaders must be pardoned. Atlanta Riots Over-Washington I reached here last night and have been spending the day in consultation with our leading people, in being of what assistance I could, and getting first-hand information on the situation. I feel that our people throughout the country ought to know how magnificently our leaders in this city have acted during the exacting ordeals through which they have just passed. They were, in my opinion, the most trying which our race has experienced in a good many years. The self-control, patience, courage and patriotic spirit exhibited by the people here have been almost beyond description. After spending much time last night and all to-day in getting the temper of both races and the facts, I feel warranted in saying that the difficulty is over, and I believe that it will be a long time, if ever, before such outbreaks will occur in Atlanta again. The most encouraging feature in the present situation consists in the fact that ten of the strongest white men, appointed by a mass meeting, will meet this afternoon with a committee of twenty of the same class of colored men for a conference, where it is proposed to have a frank discussion of the situation, and to bring about harmonious relations and friendly co-operation for the future. I believe all are thoroughly in earnest and good will result. I further believe, from what I have seen, that the State and city authorities mean to end these disturbances with an iron hand if need be. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. labeled not only for the sake of justice but to redeem the city. In the lead is President Jones, of the Chamber of Commerce, who summoned and presided over a mass meeting of one thousand citizens which evolved a committee of safety of ten headed by Capt. Jas. W. English, banker and Polly Commissioner. One of the ten is John G. Murphy, whose home in Peachtree street is among the finest in the city. While most children were two-twelve Afro-American men and women and gave them food, shelter and protection. Mr. Jones took his servants into the family room, the allrighted cook occupying his daughter's bedroom. An Afro-American from out of town who dared not venture to the railroad station was sheltered for hours in the private office of Clark Howell, editor of The Constitution, and finally given escort to a train-home. A woman of social distinction, bearing that a family, formerly a slave, to their cottage andange, went bravely to their cottage andcamed them off to safety. It was a sudden revival of the old feudal spirit of slave-holding days, when the lord of the plantation was both master and protector. Big Rewards for Rioters. On September 26 an appropriation of $1,000 was made by the city council for the fund which is being raised to take care of the victims of the massacre. The amount subscribed so far by citizens is $4,227. The city's $1,000 will swell the total to over $5,000. This money will be used to pay the expenses of burying the dead, and to help take care of the families of those who were killed or injured. The city council also offered a reward of $200 for the arrest and conviction of any person who had a hand in the killing of innocent Afro-Americans on the streets last Saturday. Writes of Habcan Corpus Deated. On the same day in the superior court Judge Pendleton denied a writ of habeas corpus issued Tuesday, directing D. M. Vining, superintendent of the city stockade, to produce the body of C. M. Lee, who on last Monday afternoon was sentenced by Recorder Nash R. Broyles, to thirty days' imprisonment in the stockade for disorderly conduct on the streets Saturday night of last week while the rioting was in progress. Judge Pendleton denied the writ and remanded Lee to the stockade to serve out the remainder of his sentence. Lee, with others, was arrested the same night with participating in the rioting of that night. He was tried before the recorder on the technical charge of disorderly conduct, and, upon the evidence, was also bound over to the superior court on a charge of rioting. He was immediately sent to the stockade to serve his sentence, and on Tuesday his attorney, T. W. Rucker, sued out the writ of habeas corpus, alleging that he was unlawfully detained, that the recorder's court was without jurisdiction to sentence him to the stockade, and that the proceedings and the sentence were contrary to the provisions of the constitution of the State and of the United States. City Attorney James L. Mayson filed the answer of the superintendent and represented him at the trial before Judge Pendleton yesterday morning. Attorneys who had been charged with only authorized the recorder to sentence prisoners to the police station house, but City Attorney James L. Mayson, in his answer and argument, contended that the stockade was but a branch of the station house, and that the sign over the city stockade designated it as "City Prison." It is understood that several young white men who were convicted and given the same sentence as Lee will make application for writs of habeas corpus. Grand Jury Condemner "The Atlanta News." The following resolutions were last Thursday unanimously adopted by the Fulton county grand jury: "Grand Jury Room, Atlanta, Ga., September 27, 1908—We, the members of the grand jury of Fulton county, Geor- gia, believing that the emotional manner in which the afternoon newspaper of Atlanta have presented to the people the news of the various criminal cases recently committed in this country, has largely influenced the creation of the spirit animating the mob of dead freedom night, and that the editorial writings of The Atlanta News for some months have been calculated to create a regard for the proper administration of the law, and to promote the consideration of citizens to act outside of the law for the punishment of crime; "I think," said Captain English, "that ten good policemen in command of an efficient officer could have dispersed the mob if they had been on the ground in time." Councilman Oldknow of the opinion that a good reserve force would have preserved order in Atlanta. This opinion was concurred in by Captain English. Commissioner Brandon said that if the police force was powerless last Saturday night to quell the riot, they would be powerless any more, and they would be believed that the police force was either unequal to the occasion or some one was to blame for not performing his duty. Commissioner Woodside said he had noticed policemen on the scene of the riot who did not do their duty, and he believed any such men should be dismissed from the force. Chief Jennings, in reply to questions, said that a good reserve force could under any ordinary circumstances quell any riot in Atlanta, but there might be times when a mob was well organised and of such strength that even an entire police force could not disperse it. He told the board that he was investigating the conduct of all the men who were on duty at the scene of the riot, and would make a report later on. The police force, the board decided to go into executive session, Captain English making the statement that something ought to be done to place the blame where it belonged, if any policeman had been derelict in his duty, or to let the public know that the policemen had all done their full duty in trying to keep down the riot. The board decided in executive session to have the chief investigate the conduct of policemen during the visit so that he can ascertain what happened and appropriate, if possible, what policemen. The situation at Atlanta is too shocking, too uncivilized, barbaric and un-American to be discussed calmly and dispassionately. Others may say what they like in explanation, but I think one of the largest factors in bringing about this deplorable situation was the character of campaign recently made by Hoke Smith for his nomination for Governor, and the advertisement in one of the leading newspapers of Atlanta offering a thousand dollars reward for the lynching of a Negro under circumstances similar to those under which a Negro had been lynched a few weeks ago in South Carolina. I hope somebody will call on that newspaper to pay this $1,000 reward for each of the murders it has helped to incite. That would at least have a tendency to make it appreciate what a serious outrage it has committed against society. It may be, as Southern men say, that we are unable to understand their situation and their relation to the Negro race. I can understand that they have conditions with which we are not familiar and with which we do not know exactly how the authorities should deal, but all civilized humanity everywhere will cry out against such indiscriminate murder of innocent men as has taken place in Atlanta. Lynch law and mob rule are to be denounced even where the victims are guilty ones, much more where, as in this case, not one of the 30 or perhaps 50 men who have been murdered, and the two or three hundred who have been wounded, had any connection whatever with the assaults that it is claimed were made by colored men. There seems to be great concern about the outbreak of an insurrection in Cuba by a lot of irresponsible and lawless bands consisting largely of Negroes and half-breeds "taking to the bush," to use the vernacular of the island, and warships and marines and troops by the thousands are being mobilized for the maintenance of law and order there. I think what has happened in Atlanta, and what is likely to follow, for I regard that as only the precursor of other things of like nature, are far more serious, so far as we are concerned, than anything that has happened or is likely to happen in Cuba; and yet there does not seem to be anybody, outside the municipal and State authorities of Georgia, very deeply concerned, although American citizens by the scores have been murdered and by the hundreds have been wounded and hounded. I would like to know from somebody who has authority to speak what protection a citizen of the United States has at the hands of the United States Government here at home under the flag, to which he has always been loyal, and under the law, against which he has never been guilty of any violation whatever? J. B. FORAKER. any, were to blame for the crimes committed in the city. The board also decided to again request the city council to give the department the extra thirty men for a reserve force. In reaching a decision to have the chief make an investigation of the conduct of the president Saturday night, the board agreed that it would be necessary to call upon citizens to communicate with the chief, if they were in possession of any facts that would tend to show that policemen were derelict in their duty. Bowen Wants Afro-American Policemen and Detectives. The Rev. Dr. John W. E. Bowen, acting president of the Gammon Theological Seminary, in an interview with last Sunday's New York World, said: "The Negro race is afflicted with a small brood of lustful, beaten, worthless and dangerous black harpies who fear neither God nor man and are the worst enemies of society. I speak from an experience of twenty-five years. They do attack white women, and, in addition, they pluck continuously and mercilessly at the vitals of their own race. There are three remedies—home, church and good man. They pluck children from a state of strict discipline as we found in slavery to one of democratic liberty was too much for the recently liberated slave. He looked with scorn upon work to which he had been driven by the laash, and he naturally thought freedom meant freedom to do as he pleased, provided it did not mean work. Many Negroes of to-day were deprived of the rigid discipline of a good home. Put these two things together—lack or home training and freedom from work—and you have a state of society that is bound to produce children. They are worthless men and women take hold of the problem and give better homes and real home training to their children, the next generation will become the vipers of society only equalled by the anarchists of Russia. "The majority of preachers and teachers are positively hurtful in their influence upon this easily moulded people. The most crying need for them is a ministry not only more intelligent in books, but wiser in counsel, sounder in judgment, cooler in head and purer in life. "An to the State remedies, let the city appoint Negro policemen and detectives in distinctively Negro communities. Responsibility gives a clear sense of duty. Such officers would arrest criminals that now too frequently escape. Put black men on juries to try black criminals against white women; my word for it, no criminal will escape, or wrong the Negro has the opinion that he does not receive a fair deal when he enters the court with a crime involving a white man. Finally, let me have peace. How shall we have it? Punish the guilty, protect the innocent." Southern White Woman Dencuncee Mob Spirit. Mrs. Warren Boyd, one of Atlanta's most able and thoughtful white women, said in the same journal: "I cannot express too strongly my condemnation of the mob spirit, nor do I hesitate to say that riots are almost invariably originated and held by the mob, whom only a mark of sympathy in a white skin. I believe, however, that the mob spirit has been deliberately fanned by a certain Atlanta newspaper, which for weeks has been a mob organizer, and in offering to purchase and to use blood-bowda has surpassed the functions of the police." Mr. Long Conj Articulator Control The activist will, an long ag they can maintain control, repress the lower whites with an iron hand. How long they will be able to do so is the question. ROCHESTER PRAISES "SPLENDID ADVICE" OF WASHINGTON Resolutions Denouncing Atlanta Massacres Adopted. ROCHESTER, October 3—Last night at a mass meeting at city hall Charles Lee, an Afro-American refugee from Atlanta, whose sister was killed in his presence, told a harrowing tale of the massacre. Afterward the following resolutions, drawn by J. W. Thompson, were adopted: We, the Afro-American citizen of Rochester, New York, in mass meeting assembled, all the rights and privileges of an American citizen and living in peace with our fellowmen and neighbors. We also congratulate the Afro-American race, North and South, all the rights and privileges of people since the close of the Civil War, notwithstanding the prejudice against us, without any just or legitimate cause. We are thankful to Almighty God for the ability of the abolitionist for us and especially for Booker T. Washington, the great industrial educator, whose sound judgment and splendid advice given our people in the mob-ridden district of confession and the cowardly act of murdering innocent and helpless people should cease. Therefore, be it resolved that we condemn crime in every form and that every criminal be held accountable according to that law covering such a crime. Resolved. Further that we condemn in unmeasurable terms the mob violence and the incarceration of African-American citizens in the city of Atlanta, Ga., which was barbarous, a disgrace to civilization and a stumbling block for missionaries in foreign heathen lands. Be it further resolved, that for this butchery of innocent people we condemn Hoke Smith, the Democratic candidate for governor of Georgia, by creating that nomination by creating the bitterest race feeling against Afro-American citizens. We condemn The Atlanta Evening News for its adovency of a revival of the butchery of African-Americans by authoring "The Klux Klan." We condemn Thomas Dixon, author of "The Clanman." We hold these agencies responsible for the wholesale murder of citizens of Atlanta on the 220th anniversary of the 1968 crime that be it further resolved, that we call upon the governor of the State of Georgia to make a full and fair investigation of the actus of lawlessness and murder in the city of Atlanta, and that the crime had been committed, and no charges made against those who were slain. We call upon Bishop Alex. Walters and the National Afro-American Council to compel Georgia in bringing to light the crimes charged against our people that the world may know the facts connected with the horrible deeds. We also call upon the Congress to impose a penalty for the acts that will protect its citizens in the mob law and violence and thereby show the nations of the earth that justice is the motto of the United States protecting its fellow citizens at home, as well as abroad. Drop Six Afro-American Churchen. PHILADELPHIA, October 1.—The most noteworthy occurrence of the convention of the North Philadelphia Baptist Association to-day was the dropping of six Afro-American churches from the roll of the association. The affair caused much distress in the association work claim the trouble is that the Afro-Americans are making an effort to band themselves together, and are having little or nothing to do with the association. The churches that were dropped are the Macedon church of Paschalville, the Morton church of Philadelphia, the Church of West Philadelphia, the Salem church of Jenkintown, the Second of Bristol, and St. Pauls of Harrisburg. Dr. White to Locate in New York. In response to telegram from prominent Afro-American church workers of this city, Rev. W. J. White, editor of The Georgia Baptist, of Augusta, Ga., who has been exiled from that city on account of the race trouble, is to make his home in this city. He will be elected pastor of a church here. To the Editor of The New York Auc: I have just spent some time upon the grounds of Clark University and Gammon Theological Seminary with President Crogman and Dr. Bowen. I have also looked very thoroughly into conditions as far as our people are concerned and I have no hesitancy in advising the students of Clarke and Gammon to return as speedily as possible to these two institutions. Since getting into direct touch with the Presidents of these two institutions I am convinced that new students as well as old ones will find themselves perfectly safe on the grounds and in the city of Atlanta as well. The dangerous period, I am sure, has passed. During the last few days President Crogman and Dr. Bowen have passed through severe trials for these two institutions and for the race, but they have stood manfully and courageously at their posts. When the true history of the Atlanta disturbance is written it will be shown that no two individuals acted more heroically and deserve greater credit than is true of President Crogman and Dr. Bowen. They have done their duty; now let the race do its duty by supporting and encouraging them. It would prove of great value just now to these great and grand men for the race to crowd these two institutions with students as speedily as possible, and I very much hope this will be done. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Atlanta, September 20, 1906. COUNCIL HERE NEXT WEEK (Continued from first page.) In the South, said he, the best thinking people of both races are for peace, but in the arreths made it is simply to hold the forcible to make of their murderous purpose; and since this was a fact he thought it better to make preparation for self-defense—not with brickbats and fire sticks, but with hot lead. Die outside of jail and do not go by yourself, said he. Mr. Fred. R. Moore followed Dr. Hunter in a ringing speech, in which he congratulated the speakers and the race in general hereabouts for their wise concluding. Moore then asked permission to read an editorial from The New York Evening Post of Wednesday, which he thought stated the cause of the Atlanta uprising against the Afro-Americans in a nutshell. Dr. W. T. Dixon was the last speaker and began by saying that, although he was a member of the Committee of 100 and had paid his fee, he had learned more about the objects of the Council at this meeting than at any other. He then asked for a hearty collection for the Council, and there was contributed $17.25. The next meeting will be held at Bridge street A. M. E. church this Thursday evening at 8:30 o'clock, at which time Dr. A. R. Cooper, Sumner H. Lark, A. B.; J. D. Nixon, N. Barnett Dodson and others will deliver addresses, and two delegates to the annual meeting will be selected. The meeting closed with the benediction by Mr. Lawton. The officers of the Committee of One Hundred are: Dr. M. W. Gilbert, chairman; Dr. T. Washington Henderson, first vice-president; Dr. J. H. McMullen, second vice-president; Mr. Fred R.

Museum, City Rev. to a large and enthusiastic audience. Bishop Alexander Walters presided and in eloquent terms introduced the speaker of the evening. Mrs. Terrrell in her introduction dwelt on the dark phases of Afro-American life in this country. She said that the Afro-American was barred from the trade unions, had small show in the battle of the war, and that at times the outlook was very discouraging. In reviewing the phases of the bright side Mrs. Terrrell proved to her audience by facts that hope is justifiable. An operatic selection, "Flighted Faith." by Mme. Marie Selika, and a duet, "The Tower Scene," by Mme. Selika and Mr. Velako, brought forth great applause. The ovation tendered Mrs. Terrrell was tremendous. Charity Concert in Jersey City.

KANSAS CITY, September 30—Joe Walcott, of Boston, and Billy Rhodes of this city fought a twenty-round draw this afternoon on a sand island in the Missouri River, twelve miles below Kansas City. The fighters and spectators went to the island by steamer, and the ring to the island on sand, two thousand men standing around the content. The island being uninhabited and unassigned to either of the neighboring counties, neither sheriff concerned himself about the fight. Walcott was the aggressor from the start, Rhodes contenting himself with cleverly blocking the Afro-American, who was unable to land on Rhodes at any time. In the seventeenth round Walcott injured his hand and abated his aggressive run, but Rhodes seemed willing to continue on the island to draw While Walcott did most of the work and had a shade the better of the contest, both men were in good condition at the end of the scheduled twenty rounds. The fight was announced to be for the fight championship, which Walcott claims. Leave Church After Forty Years PHILADELPHIA. October 1—A farewell rally was held at the Cherry street Baptist church yesterday by the congregation, where they have worshipped for the past forty years.

T., Has Fine Reputation in the Territories. LEXINGTON, O. T., September 28.—Oklahoma and Indian Territories have several towns in which the population is composed exclusively of Afro-Americans, but probably the most noteworthy of them is the village of Tatum, south of here in the thickskaw Nation. Tatum is a town of which all business is carried on by Afro-Americans. It is not incorporated and has no regular city government, but its affairs are managed by a board of arbitration composed of the oldest and wisest men in the community. They take cognizance of all disputes between citizens and of minor offenses, and their decisions are very generally accepted without question. It has become a matter of comment among court officials of the southern district that there are fewer cases, civil or criminal, brought from that town than from almost any town of the same size in the district. A big political meeting and the barbecue was held there which was attended by many white-political leaders. Altogether some 200 or 300 white people were present. One Undertaker Seizes Corpse From Another. WASHINGTON, September 30.—Trade competition has been carried too far when an undertaker takes from a rival the right to conduct a funeral after the rival has embalmed and prepared the corpse for burial." declares David L. Stewart, a local Afro-American undertaker, in a suit for $25,000 damages, filed in the District Supreme Court against James H. Winslow, Afro-American, who also conducts an undertaker's establishment. Stewart was sent to his business, with intent to ruin his business, August 17 last, visited the house at No. 328 Oak street Northwest and by alleged false misrepresentation that the plaintiff was "ignorant, incompetent and unfit to be an undertaker and embalmer," pernued and induced the relatives of one Willis Stephens, deceased, to discharge Stewart from the conduct of the funeral.

BEST TIME TO OR THE AGE WILL SUM AFRICAN AMERICAN FOR LEGALITUDE JUST TO SHOW HOW STRONG They Are Birmingham, Va., October 17—Lily Whitman" was out in the Republican main convention held in this city last Monday eight. It was a victory that will cost the party dirty in this district. If victory it can be called, it was won by methods more demisable and逊服 than the tactics so which the Democratic party has in time past returned to break down Republican majorities. High-handled robbery and the absurd disregard of parliamentary usage over the causes of the victory. Afro-Americans are not satisfied with the work of the party here in Richmond. Added to the robbery perpetrated here, in the district convention held next day, George A. Hannon, the corrupt-bugger lawyer from the West, who was nominated as the candidate for Congress, had the difficulty to tell African-American voters in his speech accepting the nomination that they would come into the party if they would consent themselves with taking a back beat and behave themselves. The speech was an insult to descent Afro-Americans, and should come them to advocate a singing rebel to the would-be Congressman. The Afro-American held a big meeting that Sunday night at League hall and organized the Republican Central League of the Third Congregational District. A committee of nine was appointed to prepare a plan of organization and to nominate officers, all to be presented at a mass convention of the district to be held Wednesday night, October 3. Dr. P. B. Ramsey provided at this meeting and George St. Julien Stephens acted as secretary. The committee is composed of the follow well known political workers: Geo St. Julien Stephens, Henry J. Moore, James H. Hagen, H. F. Jonathan, Dr. B. H. Jones, W. P. Burrell, Major J. B. Johnson, J. E. Boyd and Major I. J. Miller, Dr. P. B. Ramsey is ex-officio a member of the committee. The consensus of opinion prevailing among Afro-American of the district is for the nomination of an Afro-American, so in the hopes of electing him, but to show to the Republican State Committee just where the Republican strength in the district is. Already the *Lily White*s have become brightened at the proportions the result among the Afro-American voters is mounting, and will resort to all means to prevent the naming of an Afro-American candidate, but the opposition is determined. The white voters are far from being unanimous on the *Lily White* movement and have openly expressed themselves. The speech of Dr. Crum Thursday night, though it had no political significance whatsoever, has est. our people thinking, and they reason in this view: *If Afro-Americans in South Carolina can receive such recognition from the Republican party as has Dr. Crum, why not one in Virginia? The movement began in opposition to the *Lily White*s will lead to substantial recognition of the Afro-American's vote in the future. One of the lemmons which Candidate Hanson handed the Afro-American debates in his speech before the convention was the following: "If you come into the Republican party seeking to exalt your race, we do not want you. If you come as a Republican willing to abide by the decision of its councils you are welcome. The time has come for the Negro as a leader to take a back seat. He must be content to follow, not to lead, and if he cannot lead he must get behind the party and shove. The Republican party is not a Negro party. It is not here to uphold any race, color, or religion, but the principles of the party." KENTUCKY PLANS GREATEST EDUCATIONAL MEETING EVER Dr. Washington to Speak at Frankfort During This Month. LOUISVILLE, September 29.—A telegram has been received here to the effect that Dr. Booker T. Washington will be unable to speak at Frankfort on October 2. President Hathaway and Dr. Washington will arrange another date for a 5 weeks later on, the occasion of the occasion of the girls' dormitory of Frankfort Normal and Industrial Institute. This will be the first time Dr. Washington has graced a Kentucky platform since 1904, and it is expected to be the largest educational meeting ever held in Kentucky among Afro-Americans. Educators and business men will come from all over the State to hear Dr. Washington and show by their presence their appreciation towards the Kentucky Legislature for the gift of the girls' dormitory. Among the business and professional people who will go from this city are Dr. C. H. Parrish, R. W. Thompson, D. L. Knight, Mim Mannie H. Burroughs and C. B. Lewin. It is expected that Prof. Annis and Mim Atholene Peyton will represent the Louisville public schools. New York Runaway Boys Rounded Up in Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA. October 1—Three Afro-American boys about 13 years old used their search-for fame and fortune at the 11th and Winter streets station this morning, when they were sent by Magistrate Gallagher to the House of Detention. The names of the hopeful tree are Claude Clementa, Percy Norris and Mr. William Washington. Mr. washington received the "Mr." from his impatiens by reason of his being the ancer of the expedition. He has three lilars. The boys came from New York, arriving three days ago. They rode part the way on freight cars and walked the t. Word was sent to their parents, o are expected to come or send after us and take them home. Burroughs Mason, September 28—The Congo Mobilite Association has sent out from its central office have the following letters, directed to the Mobilite of the African Methodist Episcopal Church: **Museum of Life—You are buildings organized with the nature of the situation existing in the Orange Free State, and of the amenable apprehension of the Orange native under the administration of King Leopold of Belgium. Under separate cover I am sending you a copy of our August寓室 Letter, giving the latest developments of the situation.** "I have no doubt you will agree with me that this situation has a particular appeal to the Negroes of this country. If African Negroes are abused so shamelessly without a protest from the world, some reflected warrant will be claimed for our treatment of the Negroes in the United States. From the point of view of the Negroes in the United States themselves, if they stand by and use the Congo natives so abused without a strong protest, will they not surely suffer a killing-off in their own self-conflict?" "The Congo Reform Association finds that if the Negroes of the United States should, in numbers approaching unanimity, register with the Government at Washington an appeal in behalf of the Congo natives, such an appeal might go far toward inbreeding our Government to take steps to remedy the Congo situation. "I am therefore writing to ask you if you will bring, the Congo situation before the conference in your Epiphanial District, and if you will urge these conference to send invitations to our Government. I will be glad to cooperate with you in this effort as you may direct. Trusting I may receive an early reply, I am, Biscorely yours." "JOHN DANIELS, 'Corresponding Secretary.' The sending out of these letters is part of an effort to route Afro-Americans to a more vivid appreciation of their concern in the situation existing in the Congo Free State. Those who desire further information regarding the situation can-secure it by sending a few cents in stamps to the Congo Reform Association, 723 Tremont Temple, Boston, Massachusetts. SENATOR DANIEL AND DR. CRUM SPEAK FOR OILES JACKSON Dr. Washington Sunda Regent and Enhancement. RICHMOND, Va., October 1.—One of the most representative gatherings of Afro-Americans ever held in Richmond, met in, True Benefactor's Opera hall last Thursday evening in the interest of the Jamestown Negro Development and Exposition Company. Governor Swanson, Senator Daniel, Congressman Lenah, Dr. Booker T. Washington, Dr. W. D. Dowan and Mrs. A. M. Curtis were down on the program for address. Governor Swanson, who was in south-west Virginia, sent a letter regarding his inability to be present, as did also Dr. Washington. Both gentlemen, however, stated in their communications that they were in full accord with the cause of the meeting and hoped that complete success would attend the company's work. Senator Daniel, Captain Lansh, Dr. Crum and Mrs. Curtis all made felicitous remarks and received ovations. Col. Olive B. Jackson was master of corrections. BOROSED AND PAINTED RED WHILE: HE SLEPT PEACEFULLY Awoke to Find Himself Rebbed on the Very Side. PHILADELPHIA, October 1.—Arthur Jackson, an Afro-American, who had just arrived from New Orleans by steamer, sat down to rest on a step near Delaware avenue and South streets last night after a long walk about the city. He awoke this morning after a transformation to his person which has convinced him that Philadelphia is a "13" town. After leaving the steamer, on which he worked as cook, Jackson bought a new suit of clothes yesterday afternoon. At the end of his ramblies he had $2 left of his wages, and this was in an inside pocket when he threw himself down to take a nap about 10 o'clock. As he opened his eyes just before daybreak, Jackson was amazed to find himself utterly devoid of clothing. The new suit and money were gone and also his underclothing, socks, shoes and hat. This was what he best remarked, but his astonishment changed to something like terror when he glanced down at his body. Instead of the dutty hair inherited from his progenitors, his skin was a bright marble. Somebody had coated him from head to foot with ship's paint, and a can half full of the mixture beside him testified to the fact which his senses refused at first to believe. Near the can was a bundle of shabby clothing, which had been left in place of Jackson's attire. In this he arrayed himself and found his way to the Pennsylvania Hospital, where the physicians after much marth at his unusual plight, supplied him with turpentine, soap, a scrubbing brush and a bath tub. It took several hours of hard work for Jackson to rid himself of his coat of paint. He was then advised to inform the police of the theft of his clothes and money. His home is in Washington, D.

Tweaks Undertaken From TOPKHA, Kan., September 29.—Olseed & Jones, Afro-American undertakers, have just opened a two-story brick livery stable which is one of the largest in the city.

CHEYNEV NORMAL SCHOOL Teaches Teachers of Manual Training Students. CHIYNEY, Pa., October 1.—The managers of the reorganised Institute for Colored Youth, the Cheyney Normal School, are very much gratified that the third session of the school has begun with an overflow, enrollment from ten States. The managers are members of the religious Society of Friends and descendants of that splendid group of men and women who have done so much for the uplift of the Afro-American. Since the school's opening session in 1904 there has been a steady growth in numbers. Graduates from high schools have entered this term to take a regular normal training to fit them for the profession of teaching, both in academic and manual training subjects. There is a demand in all of our schools for a higher degree of efficiency for teachers of domestic science, domestic art, wood and metal work. This demand Cheyney is filling, first by having a high standard for entrance, and next by having a faculty well qualified to train teachers in their subjects. Besides the technical training usually required for teachers of manual training subjects, Cheyney also insists upon the professional side. THIRD Young men preparing to teach wood or metal work and young women equipping themselves to teach cooking or sewing. have a thorough course in the history and principles of education, school management, educational psychology, general methods and practice teaching. America's leading institutions are represented on Cheyney's faculty—Princeton, Radcliffe, Smith, Columbia, Cornell, Pratt and Drexel. Each instructor is an expert in his or her subject. Rev.

Now is the time to sub- scribe for THE AGG. Dr. Washington in Atlanta. On Thursday Mr. Fortune received the following telegram from Dr. Booker T. Washington, dated at Atlanta: Reached best last night. Am getting into situation. shall most joint committee of both races regarding situation. Matters are improving. Mr. Fortune sent the following reply: Ohd you are in Atlanta. It is the proper place for you. Hope much from rope presence and total confidence. We were very much surprised to find that Dr. Washington was in Atlanta. We were with him most of the time on Monday and Tuesday last in New York, dealing as best we could at long range with the fearful condition of affairs in Atlanta. On Monday, when matters were in bad state at Atlanta, he said that he would go South, but we urged him to wait awhile, and if he did go to let us go with him. We understood that he was going to Taukeegee. On Tuesday, against the advice of his friends, he slipped away from New York and was next heard of at Atlanta, right in the center of the race disturbances, with his moral and physical courage and his abounding common sense in his grip sack, seeking to do what he could to help the situation. We are bound to accord to Dr. Washington admiration and respect for going direct to Atlanta as soon as circumstances would allow, and for doing all that was possible under the circumstances on the spot to help bring order out of the confusion. It takes a very brave man to go into a situation like that at Atlanta was on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday last. We have always claimed that Booker Washington is one of the bravest men that ever lived, as well as one of the most diplomatic and common-sense, because we have wintered and summered it with the man. In every situation which has confronted him he has shown that he is every inch a man. May great, good result follow Dr. Washington's presence and counsels in Atlanta. We are sure the race and the country will appreciate the courage and the wisdom he displayed in going there and casting his lot with his people in their hour of great sorrow, imminent danger and exigent menace. In the day of conflict the proper place of a leader is with his people, and in the day of conflict Dr. Washington went to his people in Atlanta, and those of his race all over the country will not forget it or fail to honor him for it. The Meeting of the National Afro-American Council. The Afro-American Council will meet in annual session in New York October 9, 10 and 11. The outlook for a large meeting is good, but it should look better. The thoughtful men and women of the race should see that now is the ripe time to meet and counsel together and do and say the right thing. The Council could be made a power for good if the people, the great mass of the people, would get behind it and give it their moral and financial support. Lip service is the poorest of all service. It costs him little who gives it and benefits him little who receives it. What is needed is hard work and faithful cooperation, not only of the few but of the many. In a citizenship of ten million people, who are being driven to the wall as the Jews in Russia are it should not be a matter of appeal, of persuasion, that the people would rise up as a man and seek by effective organization to protect themselves in all lawful ways in the civil and political rights which are theirs under the Federal Constitution, and should be under the constitutions of all of the States. But the greatest indifference in this matter has been shown by the Afro-American people since the origination of the Council sixteen years ago. Will they arouse them from their apathy and stupidity? We have done what we could to arouse them. The meeting of the Council in New York should not only be representative of the brains, as it has always been, but of the masses of the race. Will it? We shall see. --- Cuban Protectorate Again Cuban Protectorate Again. The United States has for the second time established a protectorate over Cuba. The warring factions refused to compose their differences, as the United States commissioners demanded, and upon the resignation of President Palma there was logically nothing to do but to take over the administration of the government in the name of the United States. People who eat their pie can't have it. Will annexation of Cuba to the United States follow as the result of the existing protectorate? That depends. Most of the Americans and Spaniards in Cuba and many of the Americans in the United States desire it, but the real Cubans—those who followed Maxime Gouen, the Maco brother, Quintan Bendera, and patrons of their post-war Cuba, to resemble a mobile Bordela Palma has re- During the war, however, the government and administration and the military administration of the Breaking Away to an island, a mission to one island named Bismarck, while that rule continued independently, was always on an evenings, while with an American protectorate the independent achieved of Spain is always possible to be destroyed by forcible anteraction to the United States. While Secretary Taft found it unavailabie to take aid with the opposein of the Palma government, The Ottope Daily Tribune, a Republican newspaper of high degree, declares them to be a Negro, and half-breed rabbie who should not be allowed to rob Cuba; and John Sharp Williams, regulating a Minneapolis riot borough, the Democratic minority leader, in the House of Representatives, thinks Cuban annexation unacceptable, and the United States now has "more Negroes than it needs" in its population. Think of that, and the source of it! We are sorry for Cuba. We helped, in an humble way, to achieve its independence of Spain and to make it a republic, and we wish that we could feel that it would recover and maintain its independence; but the indications do not point that way. And the big fish eat the little fish! It has always been that way. The Republican Ticket The Saratoga convention did a good day's job when it nominated Charles E. Hughes to head the ticket as Governor and made up the rest of the ticket with good Republicans who have the respect and confidence of the Republican masses of the State. Mr. Hughes is comparatively unknown, except as a good lawyer, who conducted with marked ability the insurance investigations law year. He is in the popular eye, like William Randolph Heart, and from the line-up it appears that while Mr. Hughes will have the support of the conservatives, Mr. Heart will have the support of the radicals of the State. It will be the first time in the history of the State that the two forces have been squarely arrayed against each other, and the outcome of it will be watched with interest. The nomination of Hughes and Heart has precipitated a condition in which there must be a realignment of party forces in New York, as is being done in all parts of the country, between the people who make capital and the people who control capital, between the people who control the corporations and the trusts and the people who work for them. The Afro-American voters are in the unfortunate position of 'not owing the money power in New York or the Nation anything but hate, as it has used and abused their confidence and their vote ever since 1877; while there is the utmost importance that they should have a helpful understanding with the wage-earners in New York State and the Nation. The Republican party has shown in the past and in its recent platforms that it has no interest whatever in the Afro-American people and their wrongs, and has intimated in deed, if not in word, that they must hustle for themselves as citizens and voters. The situation should make Afro-Americans thoughtful. Will it? --- William Randolph Hearst William Randolph Hearst is an extraordinary man. He has built up a political machine of his own in California, Illinois, New York and Massachusetts, and in the conventions last week he captured the Democratic party of New York and Massachusetts, and with it will as he wills, as he too, has announced that he will be a platform unto himself, giving additional emphasis to the new and strange doctrine that the individual is the whole thing and the party only an incident. Besides the machines he has created, Mr. Hearst has a sympathetic alliance with Democratic leaders in other of the Eastern and Western States, which makes it highly within the probabilities that he will be a formidable figure in the next National Democratic convention, whether he is elected Governor of the State of New York or not. Mr. Hearst has appeared to wax fat in political substance on the antagonism and abuse of the leaders of the old parties and most of the newspapers of the country which he does not control. He has made a large section of the laboring people of the country believe that he is their especial champion, by insisting upon a more equitable division of the net results of labor, between the man who makes the capital and the man who owns and turns it over in productive industry; by insisting upon short hours for laboring men and trial and conviction of capitalistic wrong-doers, and by insisting upon fairer primary and election laws. In his Madison Square address last week, after he had been nominated by the Democratic convention at Buffalo for Governor, Mr. Hearst, after stating very clearly his position on the questions of labor and capital as invested in corporations of all sorts, and especially in Trusts, had the following to say as to his position on the purely political question: I believe in purity in politics. I believe the man who gives a bribe should go to jail, even if the wretch who feebles the bribe goes free. I believe in the fundamental right of American citizens to a free ballot and a fair count. That is the overwhelming issue of this campaign. I advise American citizens, as they value their liberties, to exact public pledges from every candidate for every office that he will work for and vote for honest primary laws and honest election laws. And I advise citizens to vote for no Democrat, Republican or Independent that does not give these pledges. Let us rise above politics and stand for principle. I consider merely the measures which will most profit the people and the men who will best represent the measures. Our Government has been pledged out to activate interest in our public services. This is not the time to consider the means of politicism, but the triumph of the people. Now, this is very high ground for any candidate for high place to take. It is admitted on all hands that there is much irregularity and injustice in existing primary and election laws. This was plainly shown in the primary elections in New York county last month, when the methods and庶庶制度 were practiced and countermeasures in the most courageous manners, even among Republicans. The people went raided from the abscess new practiced under the primary and election laws, but will they turn to Mr. Heurt to get it? There could be nothing cleaner cut than the statement by Mr. Heartat that "I believe in the fundamental right of American citizens to a free ballot and a fair count." Now, mark it, Mr. Heartat does not say that he believes in this for the citizens of New York, but for "American citizen." A statement of that sort could not be pulled out of William Jennings Bryan or the Georgia yawper Thomas R. Watson, with an Archmoidian lever. And does Mr. Heart understand the full force, meaning and application of his pronouncement? We take it for granted that he does, and we shall hold him to it, whatever the future may bring him. Mr. Hearst captured the Democratic convention at Buffalo, and he may capture the rank and file of the voting Democratic masses of the State, but he has not captured the Democratic newspapers and the old-time leaders of the Democratic party in New York State; there is open revolt among these against his candidacy in all parts of the State, and here in Greater New York The Daily News is the only Democratic paper, except the two he owns, which is supporting him. All the New York daily newspapers and the capitalistic Democrats are lined up against Mr. Hearst, and if he wins—it will be the greatest personal victory achieved by any man in New York politics. Mr. Hearst has a great big job on his hands. Light on the Atlanta Riots A person standing in the shadows of a great mountain can have no proper idea of its grandeur and magnitude; he needs the perspective. A person standing in the presence of great disaster, a great misfortune, can have no proper estimation of the causes that produces it. He sometimes hits upon these by accident. All this is made manifest by the conflicting views of those who have spoken of the causes of the Atlanta massacre from the vantage of the vicinage. They are too close to the situation to estimate properly the causes while the results are forced upon them by contact with the situation. The New York World contained a broadside on the Atlanta situation last Sunday from one of its correspondents, Mr. S. M. Williams, which is about as exhaustive a statement of the situation as we have seen, while his collection of views of prominent residents of Atlanta is highly instructive if not edifying. Under most that was said, even that said by Clark Howell, who knows better, runs a definite conclusion that the white man must dominate the situation, and that the black man should be glad to be allowed to live and sleep in Atlanta, without the enjoyment of any civil or political rights which the white man should respect—a view repugnant to the Federal Constitution, with which the constitution of Georgia must conform some day, and to that self-respect which is or should be emplanted in the breast of every American citizen. When the whole matter is sifted down to the final analysis, it is a fair conclusion that the South cannot have peace and order and good relations between the races until whites and blacks have the identical civil and political rights under the laws and the public opinion of Georgia. All other talk, all other theory, is so much nonsense, and the wise man in the situation know it. Time and education will fetch this, and there will be friction all along until this condition is reached. There can be no inequality in the citizenship of the United States, and in the comprehension and enforcement of the laws, without creating a condition of friction of one sort and another in all directions. Let the laws be equal in bearing upon all of the people, and let the police power be strong enough to enforce observance of the laws. Let the citizen as such or as a mob attend to his own business, or be made to do it, and let the enforcement of the laws remain in the police and the judiciary. The loud call that Afro-Americans shall join in apprehending criminals and help to enforce the laws, grows out of the unwarranted interference in the operations of the law by white citizens as individuals or as mobs. They interfere with the orderly operations of the law; and to justify themselves they want Afro-Americans to do it also. It is dangerous business, and if pursued to its absurdity, we shall have a condition in the South where the enforcement of the laws will be usurped entirely by the citizen and the mob. In that condition we should soon have a war of races and chaos of government. We have nothing to do with criminals, and want nothing to do with them. It is the business of the police and the courts to protect the life and property of the citizen; they are paid to do so, and should be made to do so. And this carries with it the theory that the person who receives stolen goods or harbours a criminal should be arrested and tried along with the real criminal. In another column of THE AGE to-day we give a synopsis of the situation as stated in The World. The views of Dr. J. W. E. Bowen and Mrs. William Boyd will be found of peculiar interest. Mr. Boyd appears to have a better apper- sail of the shipman from any of the white people of Adlaiage who were indisposed. The word of Governor Hale Smith amount to nothing. He is responsible for the white business, and in a present condition of society he would be tried in the proper way and convicted and sentenced and shot. It is not only a prelude but a diagrane that the great State of Georgia has selected such a frenewal as Governor. The State will find out that he will be as he has been—a curse. Roman and Cartaguanian Flot. The good gray poet of the Mierran, Jesquin Miller, who now lives in California, has been revisiting New York and giving his impressions of the big city to The New York World. Among other things he was interested in the healthy appearance of all the children, which indicated the hunting character and fair circumstances of their parents. He met all sorts of "kids," he styled them, "mostly fat and jolly," black and white, Jow and Gentil, and he thinks "the New Yorker has a right to hustle and make money for these kids." The following, however, induces a reflection based in one of the most historic of all wars, the Punic, in which the Italian and the Cartaguanian African battled for the supremacy of the world. Mr. Miller says: To me, the biggest question in New York to-day is looking down a hundred feet or more into that mike-like excavation for the Pennsylvania Railroad terminal, where an army of laborers, mostly Italians, are working steam-drills, blasting rocks, running cars and building cyclopean walls of concrete, granite and cement. Walk over there and see the redhirted Garbaldiants. Those are the same sort of fellows that Casar conquered the world with. He was a swarthy Carthaginian, too. I'm very partial to those colored pickaninutes—they're so sunny and optimistic. They always call me Santa Claus? I wonder why, Would you say that I looked like old Saint Nick? Now, is it not a strange freak of circumstance that the descendants of Hannibal and Scipio Africanus, who battled for the mastery of the world when the Germans, the Franks and the English were rude and barbarous savages, should meet in the Pennsylvania tunnel, in New York, doing the rougher work of it, upon a Continent which was not discovered to Europeans even in the times of the Carthaginians? And in this New World of ours, here in New York, all of the tribes scattered at the Tower of Babel, in the Plains of Shiner, when the world was young, have come together again and will in time evolve a common type of man who shall be the greatest of all of the races of mankind. Truly, as the good poet has said, "the romances of fact are stranger than the romances of fiction." Russian Methods in the South. The New York Journal, one of the newspapers owned by Mr. William Randolph Hearst, a hyphenated party candidate for the governorship of New York says more brutally than other newspapers have done, in commenting upon the Atlanta horror, the following queer things: The other day Mr. Blumenthal speaking in a New York synagogue, said, "When we contemplate America's toleration of Nero lynching in the South it savors of hypocrisy to the horror at the Jewish massacres in Russia." The same statement has been made by various newspapers that do not understand conditions. It is a foolish statement, a very strange expression of opinion, coming from a Jew. In what way is there any comparison between the lynchings in this country and the massacres of Jews in Russia? The intelligent men of the South regret the lynchings almost as much as they regret the crimes of the good people of the South bitterly deplore the barbarity, the violence that accompanies violent acts of revenge. But in America we see human nature turning to harboring in the mob spirit influenced by the most horrible of crimes, or by the accusation of that crime. In Russia we see government itself deliberately exciting whole populations to the murder of defenseless men and women, which is no charge, nothing but religious hatred. Mr. Blumenthal, and those who talk like him, offend common sense and justice when they compare government butchery in Russia with the acts of mob violence that grow out of the extremely difficult problem with which the South has to deal. There is not an American in authority, a citizen of good standing. North or South, the difference is of violence, even when the provocation is most severe. It will be time enough to compare American spasmatic lynchings with systematic government murders of women and children in Russia when the American Government shall have been convicted of stimulating murders to keep itself in power. Mr. Blumenthal's statement is not "foolish" at all. It is absolutely true to the facts in the situation. It is The Evening Journal which takes a "foolish" view of the situation. "In what way is there any comparison between the lynchings in this country and the massacres of Jews in Russia?" "In this way: In Russia the rabble usually begins the massacre of the Jews because they are Jews and because of differences of religion, and the government convicts at the work of the mob and often instigates, aids and abets it. That is the daily chronicle of wrong and outrage upon the Jews in Russia, and The Evening Journal will not deny it. In the United States the Federal government cannot interfere in the domestic affairs, the police control, of the several States, unless called upon to do so by the State authority. In the riots at Springfield, Ohio, Springfield, Mo., and at Atlanta, the white mob took the initiative in murdering, innocent black and yellow people, because they were black and yellow, and the municipal and State authorities, when they got into the hurry, invariably furthered the work of the mob by legalising its vile work, in that while leaving the white mob alone, they spread their strength in suppressing and disarming black and yellow people. This was carried to such an outrageous extent In Alabama most within nine miles are threatened while people were given privileges to escape and every man a thief and black and yellow people were arrested arbitrarily, without legal warrant, disarmed and imprisoned, among the arrested being two hundred students of Gammon Theological Seminary and Clark University, in South Atlanta, simply because their schools were located in the Brownville district where some police officer had been assaulted. No more brutal and illegal outrage was ever committed upon the Jew in Russia. Even here in New York the police added with the white mob in the San Jean riot. It is a common thing all over the Republic; and in so far the municipal and State authorities do this, the American government becomes a party to the crimes of the mob; by defect in the Federal constitution, it is true, but a party all the same, and must bear the edifice of it, because foreigners cannot understand that the States have all power over the life and property of the citizens at home, while the American Government has power over the life and property of the citizen only when he resides in a foreign country. To the citizen, for all practical purposes, the State is supreme in all matten of life and property, while "the American Government" is horribly ornamental. We have just now had ample demonstration of that in Atlanta the past two weeks. Mr. Blumenthal is correct in his statement. We have given the comparison. And we advise William Randolph Hearn to employ editorial writers who not only understand the Constitution of the Republic, but the one-sided administration of the laws as between the blacks and whites in all of the States. The States are paramount; "the American Government," is negligible, as far as citizenship and life and property are concerned. J. Benson Foraker. It remained for J. Benson Foraker, a Senator in Congress for Ohio, to get on the housetops and talk straight from the shoulder about the situation of Mob Law and Massacre in Atlanta. We are glad to see Senator Foraker get the gag out of his big mouth and talk. He used to do it all of the time. We had come to expect it of him. Now, will Senator Foraker get up on the floor of the Federal Senate and give us some old time talk on the damnable condition of civil and political rights in the Southern States? If he should we would wish a heap to embrace him, however we might restrain ourselves from doing so. We need a Senator in Congress who will take up the work of equal rights for black men in the South where the Republican party laid it down in 1877, and there is no man in the Senate better fitted by temperament and ability than Senator Foraker to take it up. Will he? Deportation Nonsense The Charleston Nines and Courier, all admitting that it is no new idea, thinks that the only solution of the race problem in this country will be finally the complete separation of the races, and hopes that the Afro-American, although brought to this country by force, will take himself out of it voluntarily. It thinks that some arrangements could be made for the segregation of the races, although it does not indicate how this is to be done in the case of the 3,000,000 mixed-blooded Afro-Americans, who are bone and flesh of the white man's bone and flesh. But The New York Times, in an article which we reproduce in another column of THE AGE to day, shows the absurdity of the whole deportation and expatriation business, so that The New and Courier, John Temple Graves, Bishop Turner, and that vile and infamous Americana, Thomas Dixon, Jr., will be unable to break the force of the figures and the facts it sets forth. West Africa is the only open spot on the African Continent where Afro-Americans could go, if they would—and they will not—but it has been demonstrated that West Africa, and especially Liberia, is so unhealthy that Afro-Americans, except of the purest African type, cannot live there and reproduce except by intermarriage with the natives after the third generation. But even if the country was all that it should be, the deportation and expatriation agitation, as The Times shows, is pure nonsense. There may come a time when it can be entertained seriously, but we doubt it. The Afro American people are going to remain in the South and in the United States, and the white people of the South had just as well reach the conclusion and put it into practice that they cannot kill ten million people by mob law, that they cannot crush out the manhood of those people by laws of repression and oppression, and that the only thing to save the civilization of the South is to repress the mob and see to it that the legal authorities are left to deal with the criminals of all races as criminals are dealt with in the other sections of the country. Mr. William Randolph Hearst has the nerve of his convictions. He went to the Buffalo Democratic convention already nominated by the Independence League for Governor and captured the nomination and the Democratic convention directly by the airport. Treasury Hall Democratic Now Mr. Hearst declares that Charles F. Murphy may be for him, but he is not for Charles F. Murphy! Did you ever! --- The Evening Post objects to Timothy L. Woodruff as Chairman of the Republican State Committee, Timothy L. Woodruff may as reasonably object to The Evening Post's book on the house ticket Mr. Woodruff is in his own house; The Evening Post buits into it. --- The New York sun wants to know if Atlanta is a tropical Southern city. That depends. The capital that has made possible the development of Atlanta in all directions has been furnished by the North and managed by Southern men in large poke, while the game is almost entirely Southern, light, and white, with a small proportion of Northern whites. But the poor white their element of Atlantas is the dominant factor. In labor there. How, where does this leave Atlantas, as a Northern or as a Southern city? Any way yes, he is a Southern boy, a bowling tough, and has been for years a loveliest and hottest poor, so far as the rabbis are concerned. --- Justus J. Evans, the alleged archbishop of the True Life of Life, has been putting up a prayer in which he characterises the Editor of The Age as a fool and grammarian who knows nothing about Jesus Christ, who has sent Justus J. Evans, but where is not averred. The difficulty with Justus J. Evans, D. G., is that he is a lunatic and doesn't know it. He should give up in a secluded corner and hang himself. There do not appear to be any Cuban patriots left, except the Negroes and mulattoes, and they will not be allowed to take the country, according to the newspaper in the country which arrogate to themselves the circulation and control of the affairs of the Latin states. We shall see. Mr. Franklin Pierce says, in *The New York Evening Post*, "we could not nurture slavery in the South without impairing freedom; in the North." Very true. And we cannot nurture inequality in the citizenship of the South, as we are doing, without creating inequality in the citizenship of the North. DEPORTATION IMPRACTICABLE Cold-blooded Arithmetician Demolisen One "Solution." Separation of the New York Times. Separation of the racers is the only radical solution of the problem in this country. There is nothing new about it. It was the Almighty who raised the bounds of the habitation of the race. The Negroes were brought here by compulsion; they should be induced to leave here by persuasion—Charleston Nice and Courier. Certainly this would be a "radical" solution of what is termed the Negro problem. We are not surprised that it should occur to Southern men under the immediate influence of the events at Atlanta last week. Putting aside for the moment the question whether the solution is the only one, it is worth while to consider how it can be applied. The Charleston writer mentions an estimate made a year for years since $320,000,000 a year for years, $230,000,000 in all. We do not know that estimate included compensation to theerty owners among the deported race: if it did, it was obviously defective. The total expense would probably be many times the amount mentioned. At the last census the Negroes, in including all those of Negro descent, were reported to be 8,840,789, and the whites to be 60,990,902 in the whole country; that is, the Negroes were about one ninth of the population. But if we take the fourteen States south of the old Mason and Dixon's line, the Negroes were reported to be 8,067,824 and the whites to be 17,433,405; that is to say, these States there were in 1000 40 Negroes to each 100 whites, and the Negroes were roughly one third of the population. There are ten Negroes, however, in which the Negroes are less one-fourth of the population—Texas, where they are 26 per cent, of the whites; Maryland, where they are 22 per cent of the whites; Kentucky, where they are 15 per cent, of the whites, and Missouri, where they are but 6 per cent, of the whites. This leaves ten of the Southern States in which the proportion of the Negroes is much higher, and in eight of these ten the proportions are as follows: For every 100 whites there are in South Carolina 150 Negroes, in Mississippi 145, in Louisiana 90, in Georgia 88, in Alabama 82, in Florida 75, in Virginia 55, and in North Carolina 50. If we put the Negroes in Missouri, Texas and Kentucky, find that the total white population in the remaining Southern States was in 1000 10,222,674, and the Negro population was 7,001,162. The Negroes were 70 per cent, of the whites, and somewhat more than two-fifths of the entire population. Now here, if we are to take seriously the advice of The News and Courier, is the real "problem" of the Negroes. How is the South to get rid of two-fifths of its population, including the greater part, practically the whole, of its agricultural laboring class? In the first place, where the South is the answer, it is the think that the Republic of Fulham, named by The News and Courier, could provide homes and living for them? Next, how are they to be "induced" to go "by persuasion"? How much would he be required to compensate them for their present holdings, how much to pay the cost of their deportation, how much to insure to them reasonably attractive employment or settlement in Africa, and who is to furnish them with the necessary factly practical questions. They must be answered, and it is "up to" the proposers of the plan to answer them. But they are by no means all that must be answered. There is another list relating to all the industries now dependent on Negro labor in the South. They may be summed up in the simple question: What is to replace Negro labor? Grant; to start with, that Negro labor in the South is not what it should be, is not nearly what the South needs, but there it is, the only labor for the time being. That is why the Negro labor in the body of the eight millions of Negroes in the South support themselves in some way. They contribute the greater share to the $154,000,000 worth of cotton, the $56,000,000 worth of wheat, the $28,000,000 worth of corn, the $18,000,000 worth of oats—$56,000,000 worth of farm products in all—raised in the South. Assume that it is possible to "induce" them to go to Africa, who are to take their places, who are to do their work. Quite apart from the almost incalculable cost of their deportation, which the South must bear, if the expense is to be incurred, the Negroes must be armed to replace their arms; it will be a moused task; it will take a long time; it will involve immense sacrifices. Without pronouncing judgment on the "solution" we venture to ask whether those who advocate it have considered those elements of the "problem," and what is their opinion regarding them. Well Try. To the.Editor of Ten New York Ace: You are keeping out a splendid paper three days. Keep the joke up. Chicago Has Few Afro-Americans Criminals Because Race Has Equal Rights Special Correspondence of Tina Ace. Chicago, September 30—Every great newspaper in Chicago has contained editorial articles denouncing the Atlanta mob without reserve of spirit or language. Outlining these journals treat the South tenderly, and are none too friendly toward the brother in black. In the present case, however, a sense of horror seems to have possessed the editor, and without hesitation they dipped their pen in the ink of indignation. That portion of our American citizenship which boasts of being the bravest and proudest in the Nation seems, after all to be capable of arrant cowardice. They say in effect that they cannot enforce the laws of their own making; that the only way they have of punishing a criminal Afro-American is to kill an innocent one. Though they have all the power, and boost, of having all the wisdom and all the knowledge, they now get learned to govern a small city in such a way as to be able to hunt down its criminals and punish them according to law. All this and much more give force and color to the newspaper editorials of practically all the papers in Chicago. The shameful plight of Atlanta suggests a comparison with Chicago in the matter of crimes of the unmentionable sort. During the past few months Chicago has passed, and is still pacing, through a perfect carnival of crime of the kind that has so frenzied the white citizens of Atlanta. The assaults upon girls and women in this city during the past few months have been so frequent and revolting that the most savage lynchings might have been resorted to and caused little surprise, but nothing of the kind has occurred. Morning after morning the city papers have recounted the shocking details of these crimes against women and girls on all ages. The following report from The Record-Herald of September 25 is an example of daily happenings of this kind: The following were fined, indicted or held to prison for yesterday for offences against women. William Ambrose, 19 years old, fined $100 on charge of accosting Clarita Silate, 2324 Wentworth avenue, and Adolim Barbey, 13 years old, 2317 Wentworth average. John J. S. brown, indicted on charges of intrusion in J. M. McCarthy's property, and Rita K. Binder, of all 181 felons, and Rita K. Binder, of all 181 felons. Harry Bell, Indicted for alleged attack on Violet Stanton, 3428 Indiana, 3411 Mildred Harriet Schultz, 3411 Indiana, and Blanche Bowers, 3352 Indiana, 3352 Harry Dazz, Indicted on complaint of Lillian Lanne, 202 North Clark street; Nellie Mueller, 232 North Clark street, and Laura Friend, 198 North Clark street. Nick Genocoune, held to the Criminal Court on charge of attempting to attack Irene Davis, 8 years old, 225 Forty-fourth street. The following were released in justice courts for want of prosecution: George R. Parker, accused of knocking down and beating Miss Mable and Miss Dorothy Church, 470 Cleveland, avenue. James Boland, 32 years old, 2257 St. Paul Avenue, accused of annoying Mrs. Bert Mack, 61 Rush street. Joseph Altree was placed on trial in Judge Elkinson's court on a charge of charge Ellen Dickson and Irene Wohlleben, who recently came to Chicago to seek a stage cancer. They have occurred in the best, as well as the worst portions of the city. They were reported in the daily papers with lurid headlines and in such a way as to inflame public sentiment and good it to frenzy. What was the result? The disarmed city did not add to the already disarmed city and cowardice of killing innocent men and women to avenge the wrong of the wicked perpetrators of the deeds. On the contrary, the public-spirited men and women concluded that Chicago and its police force were not doing their whole duty; that the courts were not doing their duty, and that the general-laxity in the two most important branches of the service was responsible for this carnival of crime. A vigilance committee was organized, not to investigate the crimes of the women but to investigate and institute reform where officials are not doing their duty. Chicago is quite as sensitive as Atlanta in the matter of protecting women against the brutal lust of white and black brutes, but we are civilized enough to know that it is downright savagery to attempt to conceal the crimes of the men with the blood of the innocent. If Atlanta has grown as many of these special crimes as reflected this community during the last months it would be to lynch nearly every decent Afro-American in that city to get a sufficient amount of vengeance to satisfy its theory of law. In suggesting this comparison between Atlanta and Chicago the significant thing to be noted is that 90 per cent of the Chicago criminals are white and belong to all the great and noble races that dominate the universe. In the long and sickening list of these criminal acts there is scarcely to be found the name of African American. Why? It goes without saying that the Afro-American people here in Chicago have a greater freedom of action and single much more intimately with the other races than do the Afro-American people of Atlanta. In other words, conditions here flatly contradict the Atlanta philosophy that the more rigidly the races are separated the better it is for both races. In Chicago the Afro-American is a good deal of citizen. His political rights, his social rights and his civil rights are respected and he can confidently appeal to the courts and obtain redress for wrongdoing for person rights and property. The enjoyment of person rights and privilege is a sense of citizenship responsibility. the humane forces of the community is not arrayed against him as in Atlanta and therefore he is not considered enemy to society.

Usually one is with great gravity that the problem color is one of the most difficult that I have to consider, and the conversation breaks up into discursive anecdotes and statements about black people. So man will dwell upon the unconventional plight of black women (in Jamaica and Barbados) people form an overswhelming proportion of the population, and they have behaved in a exemplary fashion for the last thirty years); another will dilate upon the incredible stupidity of the full-blooded Negro (during my stay in New York the prize for oratory at Columbia University, oratory which was the one receiving charm of Daniel Webster, was awarded to a woman of African descent). Third will speak of his physical offensiveness, his peculiar smell which necessitates his social isolation most well-to-do Southeners are brought by Negro "mammies"); others, again, will enter upon the painful history of the years that followed the war, though it seems a foolish thing to let those wrecks of the past dominate the outlook for the future. And one charming South African lady expressed the attitude of the man I think thee, thee said, "You have to be one of you to feel this question at all as it ought, to be felt." I think, I got something tangible. I think, I got something tangible. I think, I got something tangible. My globe-trotting impudence will seem no doubt, to mount to its zeith when I declare that hardly any Americans at all seem to be in possession of the elementary facts in relation to this question. These broad facts are not taught, as, of course, they are not taught, what each man knows is picked up by the accidents of his own untrained observation, by conversation always tinctured by personal prejudice, by hastily read newspapers and magazine articles and the like. The equality of this discussion is very great, on the whole prettier. While I am in the office, I was very much away by an article in, if I remember rightly, The Century Magazine, by a gentleman who had deduced from a few weeks' observation in the alums of Khartoum the entire incapacity of the Negro to establish a civilization of his own, to discover ratiocination. We English, a cen- sage, ago, all these things of the lative Irish. If there is any trend of opinion at all in this matter at present; it lies in the direction of a generous de- cision on the part of the North and West to leave the black more and more to the judgment and more and more white people to be locally associated. This judgment and mercy points, to the whole, to an accentuation of the colored man's natural inferiority, to the creation of any other educational atti- tudes than those that increase his industrial usefulness (it is already illogical in Louisiana to educate him above a con- temptible level), to his industrial ex- ploitation through usury and legal encumption, and to a systematic between-colored social barriers between colored patients shade and the whites. Meanwhile, in this state of general afusion, in the absence of any deter- ning rules or assumptions, all sorts of things are happening—according to the conditions of local feeling.

But, when we look at the world, we're looking into for a moment. The same conditions give the same results; a half-educated white population of British or Dutch or German ingredients greedy for gain, ill controlled and freely influenced, in contact with a black population, is bound to reproduce the same brutal and stupid aggression, the same half-human prejudice to justify those actions.

There His words sent my memory back to some conversations I had quite recently with a man from a dry-goods store in Johannesburg. He gave me clearly enough, the attitude of the common white out there; the dull prejudice; the readiness to take the uterus disrespect for colored womankind; the savage, intolerant resentment, dashed dangerously with fear, when the native raises his head. (Think of all that must have happened in wrongful practice and wrongful law and neglected educational possibilities before our Zulius in Natal were goaded to face massacre, minimizing result of education and experience is to enable men to grasp facts, to balance justly among their fluctuating and innumerable aspects, and only a small minority in our world is educated to work to "think lover" the Negro problem, he instantly banishes his mind—clears the action, as it were. He forges the genial carriage of the ordinary colored man, his beaming face, his kind eyes and his fierce friendliness, his amiable, unprudified readiness to serve and follow a white man who seems to know what he is doing. He forges—perhaps he has never seen—the dear humanity of these people, their slightly exaggerated vanity, their innocent and delightful love of color and song, their immense intelligence, their cute touch in their imaginations. He ignores it. real fineness of the indolence that despises service to, of the carelessness that disdains the watchful, aggressive economies, day by day, now a wretched little gain here and now a wretched little gain there, that make the dirty fortune of the Russian Jews who prey upon us. No, we are place of all these amiable every-day experiences he lets his imagination go to work upon a monster, the "real nigger." "Ab! 'You don't know the real nigler,' said one American to me when I pressed the colored people I had seen. 'You should see the buck nigger down South, Congo brand. Then you'd understand, sir.' His voice, his face had a gleam of passion and intimacy. One could see he had been brooding himself out of all relations to reality in this matter. He was a man beyond reason or pity. He was obsessed. Hatred of that imaginary, diabolical "buck nigger" blackened his soul. It was no good to talk to him of the "buck American, Packingtown brand," or the "buck Engleman, suburban race-meeting speeches." He was not a disagreeable person justified outrages on Senator Lodge, let us say, or Mrs. Longworth. No reply would have come from him. 'You don't understand the question,' he would have answered. "You don't know how we Southerners feel." The White Strain. Well, one can make a tolerable guess. I certainly did not begin to realize one most important aspect of this question until I reached America. I thought of those eight millions as of men, black as ink. But when I met Mr. Booker T. Washington, for example, I met a man certainly as white in appearance as our Admiral Fisher, who is as white as the large proportion of these colored people indeed, is more than half white. One hears a good deal about the high social origins of the Southern planters, very many derive it disputably from the first families of England. It is the same blood flows in these mixed colored people's veins. Just think of the sublime absurdity, therefore, of the ban. There are gentlemen of education and refinement, qualified lawyers and doctors, whose ancestors assisted in the Norman Court of justice, fared the better in married "white" and upon the dignity of the rising loan-monger from Easthonia. For them the "Jim Crow car." One tries to put that aspect to the American in vain. "These people," you say, "are nearer your blood, nearer your temper, than any, of those bright eyed, ringled immigrants on the East Side. Are you ashamed of your poor relations? Even if you don't like the half, or the quarter of Negro blood, you might deal civility with the three-quarters white. It doesn't say much for your faith in your own racial pretence, anybody. You're to that is usually in terms of mania. "Let me tell you a little story just to illustrate," said one deponent to me in an impressive undertope—just to illustrate, you know. A few years ago a young fellow came to Boston from New Orleans. Looked all right. Dark—but he explained that by an Italian grandmother. Toich of French in him, too. Popular. Well, he made advances to a Boston girl—good family. Gave a fairly straight account of himself. Married. He paused. Course of time—offspring. Little son." His eye made me feel what was coming. "Was it by any chance very, very black?" I whispered. "Yes, sir. Black! Black as your hat. Absolutely Negro. Projecting jaw, jaw." thick lip, frimy hair, fat nose—everything. "But consider the mother's feelings, sir, consider that! A pure-minded, pure white woman!" What can one say to a story of this woman's life in the past up so powerfully as to blacken the child at birth beyond even the hobble of the pure-blooded Negro? What can you do with a public opinion made of this class of ingredient? And this story of the lamentable results of intermarriage was used, not as an argument against intermarriage, but as an argument against extension of quite radiantary civility with them, you've got to marry them," he said, an entirely fabulous post-prandial responsibility. It is to the tainted whites my sympathies go out. The black or mainly black people seem to be fairly content with their inferiority; one sees them all about the States as waiters, cabdrivers, railway porters, car attendants, laborers of various sorts, a pleasant smiling, acquaintable folk. Buf consider the case of a man with a broader brain than much small uses need consciousness, perseverance, life, life, life, wide interests and sustained attempts who is perhaps as English as you or I, with just a touch of color in his eyes, in his lip, in his finger-nails, and in his imagination. Think of the accumulating sense of injustice he must bear with him through life, the perpetual slight and insult he must undergo from all that is vulgar and brutal among the whites! Something of that one may read in the sorrowful pages of Du Bols's The Souls of Black Folk. They would have made Alexandre Dumas travel in the "Jim Crow car" if he had come to Virginia. But he did not protect on the part of that admirable but extravagant man. They even talk of "Jim Crow" elevators now in Southern hotels. At Hull House, in Chicago, I was present at a conference of colored people—Mina Jane Addams efficiently in control—to consider the coming of a vexatious play, "The Chlamman," the woman who produced entirely to gazebate racial feeling. Both men and women were present, business people, professional men, and their wives; the speaking was clear, temperate, and wonderfully to the point, high above the level of any British town. The audience would have stood out as capable and charming in any sort of public discussion in England—though we are not wanting in good women speakers—and she was at least three-quarter black. And while I was in Chicago, too, I went to the Peking Theater — a "coonel" music-hall—and saw something of a lower level of colored life. The common white, I must explain, delights in calling colored people "coonas," and the Negro so far as I could learn, uses no retail synergy, but I am not sure I am in treatment with one turn, at least, of quite distinguished merit, good-humored and brisk manner. I watched keenly, and I could detect nothing of that trail of base suggestion one would find as a matter of course in a music-hall in such English towns as Brighton and Portsmouth. What one heard of kissing and touching was not a kind indeed. The Negro, it seemed to me, did this sort of thing with a better grace and a better temper than a Londoner, and show, I think, a finer self-respect. He thinks more of deportment, he bears himself more elegantly by far than the white at the same social level. The audience reminded me of the sort of gathering one would find in a theater in Cambridge, but not in the number of family groups, the girls brightly dressed, and young couples quite of the London music-hall type. Clothing ran "smart," but not smarter than it would be among fairly prosperous north London Jews. There was no gallery—socially—no collection of orange-eating intertwining hooglans at all. Nobody seemed cold, nobody warmed, nobody was molder. Indeed, there and elsewhere I took and confirmed a mighty liking to these gentle, human, dark skinned people. Mr. Booker T. Washington. But whatever aspect I recall of this great taboo that shows no signs of lifting, of this great problem of the future that America in her haste, her indiscriminating prejudice, hype lack of any sustained study and teaching of the broad issues she must decide, complicates and intensifies, and makes threatening, there presently come the faces of Mr. Booster T. W. Washington, as he talked to me over our lunch in Boston. He has a face rather Irish in type, and the soft, slang Negro voice. He met my regard with the brown, sorrowful eyes of his race. He wanted very much that I should hear him make a speech, because then his words came better; he talked, he implied, with a certain difficulty. But I preferred to hear his talk, because the orator—every one tells me he is an altogether great orator in this country where oratory is still esteemed—but the man. He answered my questions meditatively. I wanted to know with an active perseverance. What struck me most was the way in which his sense of the overpowering forces of race prejudice weighs upon him. It is a thing he accepts; in our time and conditions it is not to be fought about. He makes one heck of an exaggerated intensity (should I could anew own his hardiness, its monstrous injustice). He makes no accusations. He is for taking it as a part of the present fate of his "people," and for doing all that can be done for them within the limit it sets. Therein he differs from DuBois, the other great spokesman color has found in our time. DuBois is more of the artist, less of the stateman; he conceals his passionate resentment all too thinly. He batters himself into rhetoric against these walls. He will not repudiate a clear right on the black man every educational call to citizenship. He respects. But Mr. Washington has statecraft. He looks before and after, and plans and keeps his counsel with the scope and range of a stateman. I use "stateman" in its highest sense; he is a mind that can grasp the discrimination and discrimination of a people. After I had talked to him I went to talk to my dad, and found them an English newspaper with a report of the opening debate upon him. Harriet's defection Bill. It was like surviving from the discussion of life and death to a dispute about the drama in the bottom of a teacup somebody had neglected to wash up in Vietnam. I pissed strongly against the view he seems to hold that black and white might live without mingling and without injustice, side by side. That I do not believe. Racial difference seems to me always to exasperate intercourse unless people have been trained to ignore them. Uneducated men are as bad as cattle in persecuting all that is different among themselves. The most miniscule and disorderly countries of the world are the countries where two races, two inadequate cultures, keep a jarring, continuous separation. You must repudiate people. You must kill. "No people have ever yet matured the tension of intermingled distinctness." "May we not become a peculiar people—like the Jewa!" he suggested. "I'm not that possible!" But there I could not agree with him I thought of the dreadful history of the Jews and Armenians. And the Negro cannot do what the Jews and Armenians have done. The colored people of America are of a different quality from the together, more general, more careless, more miserable, less intellectual, less acquisitive, less wary and restrained—in a word, more Occidental. They have no common religion and culture, no conceit of themselves to hold them together. The Jews make a ghetto for themselves wherever they go; no law but their own solidarity has given America the East Side. The colored people are not a community at all; they sense, but outcasts from a community. They are the victims of a prejudice that has to be destroyed. These things I urged, but it was, I think, empty speech to my hearer. I could talk lightly of destroying that prejudice, but he knew better. It was the central fact of his life and being. He has shaped all his projects and policy upon that. Exclusion is inevitable. So he dreamed colorized race of decent and ingressive men silently giving the life to all the legend of their degradation. They will have their own doctors, their own lawyers, their own capitalists, their own banks—because the whites desire it so. But will the uneducated whites endure the degradation of ingressive as that Will they suffer the hardship of free and self-satisfied Negroes in decent clothing on any terms without resentment? He explained how at the Tuskegee Institute they make useful men skilled engineers, skilled agriculturists, men to live down the charge of practical incompetence, of ignorant and slovenly farming and house management. "I wish you would tell me," I said, abruptly, "just what you think of the attitude of white America toward you. Do you think it is generous?" He regarded me for a moment. "No end of people help us," he said. "Yes." I said: "but the ordinary man, in He fail." "The things are not fake," he said, leaving the general question alone. "It isn't fair to refuse a colored man a berth in a sleeping-car. I—I happen to be a privileged person, they make an exception for me; but the ordinary educated colored man isn't admitted to a sleeping-car at all. If he has to go a long journey, he has to sit up all night. He has to sleep in the hotel and in some places, in the hotel and restaurants—" It's all right here in Boston —but southwardly he can't get proper refreshments. All that's a handicap . . . "The remedy lies in education," he said: "ours—and thicra." "The real thing." he told me, "isn't to be done by talking and agitation. It's a matter of lives. The only answer to it all is for colored men to be patient, to make themselves competent, to do good work, to live well, to give no occasion against us. We feel that. In a way it's an inspiration. We can also be in Boston, a Negro, who owns and runs some big stores, employs all sorts of people, deals justly. That man has done more good for our people than all the eloquence or argument in the world. . . . That is what we have to do—it is all we can do . . ." Whatever Americas has to show in heroic living to day, I doubt if she can show anything finer than the quality of the resolve, the steadfast, effort hundreds of black and colored men are making to day to live blamelessly, honorably, and patiently, getting for themselves what scrape of refinement, timing and intelligence they have their in a civilization they are grudged and denied. They do it not for themselves only, but for all their race. Each educated colored man is an anambassador to civilization. They know they have a handmade, that they are not exceptionally brilliant or clever people. Yet every such man stands, one likes to think, aware of his representative and vicarious character, fighting against injustice, imagination, and the native, unspeakable meanness of base antagonists. Every one of them who keeps decent and honorable does a little to heat that opposition down. But the patience the Negro needs! He may not even look contempt. He must admit superiority in those whose daily conduct to him is the clearest evidence of moral inferiority. We sympathetic whites, indeed, may claim honor for him if he is wise he will be silent under our advocacy. He must go to and fro from control to control the great flag of America proclaims—that flag for whose united empire his people fought and died, giving place and precedence to the strangers who pour in to share its benefice, strangers ignorant even of its tongue. That he must do—and wait. The Welsh, the Irish, the Poles, the white South, the indefatigable Jews may cherish grievances and rail aloud. He must keep still. They may be hysterical, revengeful, threatening and perceive; their wrongs extend and all of the traces upon earth, which has suffered such wrongs as this Negro blood that is imputed to 'him as a sin? These people who disdain him, who have no sense of repatriation toward him, have sinned against him beyond all measure. . . No. I can't help idealizing the dark, submissive figure of the Negro in this spectacle of America. He, too, seems to me to sit waiting—as a waitress and vingered-minded patron, for fierer understandings and a nobler time. From The Riparian News Leader. Southern newspapers and people should be prompt and emphatic in repudiating this outbreak at home and expanding their shelter and their disgust for the whole country, dirty and miserable business. It is just about an bad and infamous as the slaughter of the Jews in Rumia, the name shameful, brutal and bloody minded slaughter of weak and defenseless people by oratory and some bustial torture and outrage of which Blooms Indiana would be ashamed. Here in Richmond we have over a hundred thousand people, a third of them Negroes. We have not had a race riot or disturbance of any serious import since 1870, thirty-six years ago. Our women walk our streets' streets at all report-ment events, unattended and without a thought of fear. We live in ten years an instance of any violence offered a white woman by a Negro man in Richmond except the occasional matching of a pocketbook or some comparatively minor crime of that kind. We do not believe there is a case on record of any 'decent' Negro woman interfered with in the streets. We go along in peace and quiet and with mutual respect for each other's rights. We are not thoroughly informed as to the inside facts and the details of this Atlanta affair. Probably we never will be. We do recall that about three weeks ago an infamous little newspaper in that city publicly and editorially applauded some lynching in South Carolina and thousand dollars reward for a similar occurrence in another city, say that the reward never will be paid, but we felt at the time that it was about the most sagrantly villainous bid for notoriety and sensation we had ever seen in print. It was worse than anything that any of Hearat's yellow newspapers have done, and very likely whatever wretched-creature is operating this newspaper, The Atlanta News, is primarily relied upon for the bloody murder and murder and the shame that has been brought upon the whole South and the whole country. We ask the fair minded people of the union to remember that Atlanta is known as the "Yankee metropolis" of the South. We believe it boasts of its Northern and Western element. It is not and in thirty years has not been a Southern city. They have tried nothing like the really Southern about it. Very likely most of this rioting and murder that has been done was instigated and accomplished by imported blackguards and ruffians and sincerely repudiated by the really representative people there. We read in the newspapers that colored people were attacked, untreated and slaughtered on the street cars, that barber shops were invaded and the barbers stamped and disfigured and beaten to death. In every Southern city the Negro barbers are among the most respectable and responsible members of their race, the most respected and respected members of the white people and the most affectionately regarded. Here we have barber shops attack on which would be regarded almost like looting St. John's church, turning John Marshall's house into a dance hall, tipping over the Washington monument and any other hideous and inscrutable person. Every other established Southern city, except Atlanta, has the same kind of institutions. We ask the country to call the roll of the large Southern cities—Richmond, Norfolk, Savannah, Macon, Charleston, Birmingham, Mobile, Memphis, Nashville, New Orleans, Austin, Fort Worth, Galveston, Vicksburg, Jacksonville—and we ask the country to call this has occurred in any of them. If we recall correctly every one of them could stand up, point to a record of forty years since the war and plead not guilty. The Negro problem is a hard one crowded with complications and irritations. In the face of it the great masses of the Southern people, even in the larger cities where mobs and riots are dignify, discretion and humanity. This outrage, Athens is not a surprise from this course. Where Negroes in infatuation or fanaticism have undertaken to control communities they have been repressed sternly and promptly and the offenders among them have been dealt with. We cannot recall a previous instance, however, of indiscriminate persecution and murder of members of that race in any Southern city or county even under the most aggravating and horrifying circumstances. In this Athina case there is no excuse or objection. If some suspected, of the reported assaults on white women had been caught and hanged it would have been had enough, but there would have been some justification. For the murder of innocent and offending Negroes going quietly to their homes, of barbers, innocent and inoffensive men earning their livings by honest work and close personal service to white people, there is no possible apology or explanation. We assume that nobody punished him. All that the people and the representatives of the South can do is to reindicate responsibility for the crime and to express promptly and distinctly their horror of it and their sense of shame that it should have occurred on our side of the line. Atlanta, we are glad to say, never has been or will be a typical Southern city. Its methods, its meals and its standards are not Southern. This outbreak could not have occurred, we think, in any other important city this side of the Potomac river and the South as a section of the Union has the right to disclaim responsibility for it, to relieve itself of the shame.

The papers state that President Roosevelt has given $100 to prosecute the prophetor of a dazzle hall who refused to admit a white baller in uniform.

Newick, Manager aug 19-19 DRIVE OUT THE VICIOUS. Appeal to Presachers to Make Fight on Criminals. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: A task confronts every Negro preacher in America which he cannot evade. The slaughter of innocent Negroes in different sections of this country is truly significant, because of the number of Negroes who are lifting the gates of hell against the entire race in this country because of their attacks upon white women. It is well to note that what has happened in Atlanta is a possibility in any section of this country. We know that there are thousands of white people in this city who are being honeoed or disobeyed, yet we must devise some way by which to reach that class among us who are attacking white women. The preachers of the race in all sections and denominations must preach against it. The better element of our people must put themselves on the side of law and order, and preach against himself, we cannot tell when his deeds will bring down upon the innocent of our people in any section the damnation of the white man. There is no use at the present time to discuss the fact of white men blacking their faces so as to instigate those damnable acts which some members of our society are guilty of. The misuse is that there are some colored men who are attacking white women. We must either rid ourselves of these imps of Satan or they will cause thousands of us to be exterminated. They are to be found in the dives and the immoral districts in our cities and towns. They are a constant menace to us, and the element of the danger of Negroes being held against us will holl up our heads in every section of this country. ALBERT LONG. Pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church Huntington, N. Y., September 29, 1906. Courageous Self Defense. To the Editor OF THE NEW YORK AGE: I wish to acknowledge my hearty concern for the situation of the people at the South. I can conceive of an suited to the needs of the colored people as that which calls into action the Christian courage to "acquit themselves as men" to champion a righteous cause with faith in their God and in themselves—to wrest themselves out of any combination of hope other than that which their courage and sacrifice may warrant. © BEATRICE New York, September 28, 1906. Wants a Special State. I think the time has come that if the Negro holds his peace the rocks will cry out. The United States has proved itself incapable of protecting its colored citizens. This is only a sample of what the Negro are going to get from the South. Dapite had a better chance in hell without his guide than the colored citizens of the United States have. Our country has too many Pilates and not enough Lincolns, too much washing off hands in the city of Washington. Now, since Uncle Sam is unable to protect the colored citizens, why not open up the remaining territories for the Negroes? We could elect our governors, mayors, police and sheriff—men that would know enough to put the handcuffs on the right person. The same flag, that once waved over the heads of John Brown, Abraham Lincoln and other great men will wave over us. I hope the time will come when our homes will be safe and we will not be told by the mayor of a city to leave because some rough, blood-hirsty white men desire to spill a colored gentleman's blood. Lewid H. Douglass on the Atlanta Massacre. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACM: I want to give thanks to you for your manly and courageous article on the Manny and courageous article on the Manny. Too much has been said in the way of warning our people to refrain from criminality. What should be said to our innocent and law- hiding people who overwhelmingly outnumber the criminals among us and who can do nothing and can effect nothing in the way of checking the criminal clauses white or black? You say the right word and I will say amen. Our people must be careful not to be in many along with them as it is possible to do with the aid of firearms and all other weapons. I singly thank you, for giving utter- E. Lee Clayton, Owner. T. C. Howlett, Manager aug16-19 ance to sound advice.

Washington, September 28, 1806. Wainn to Leave the United States. To the Editor of The New York Age: I am a reader of *Trib. Aout* and a lover of my race, and I hope you will spare space for these few lines. I hope now we are aware of the fact that there is no future in this country for the color race. I will get work and we can be done. We have too much and have done nothing. I wish our *race leader* would start a movement to get a large proportion of people out of the *South*. Let every one of us throughout the entire country give movement to the color race. We cannot fail. I support the question will be asked, Where will they go? There are if of places a thousand times better than United States, say Mexico, Hawaii, or Soho America. We need a complete separation; our people are shot down by the enemy. N. J. September 28, 1900. Advocates Prudent Retaliation. To the Editor of Tupi New York AG: Permit me to congratulate you for your brilliant and sound expressions condemning the white men of Atlanta, who feed their greedy fledgish maws upon race hatred and rudgish, and for the historical injustice of the black citizens in different sections of the country how useless it is for them to lie supinely on their backs and live under the expectations of hope that time might solve their destiny. If there is such a thing as a Negro problem or racial problem, then, I think as you do, that retaliation, well backed by sound judgment, is the best way to solve the problem might be solved. B. LINCOLN DEVERKO, New York city, October 1, 1900. The Warm Will Turn. From The Chicago Public In the face of such provocation as the outrage at Atlanta, the Negro may not always remain non-resistant. We are hearing much from the South of the "upplainness" of the new generation of Negroes the older Negroes. It is, said, are doolie, and the white race have no difficulty in getting along with them; but the new Negro is aggressive and resentful. God help the white community where that is a fact, and which allows its mobs to kill with impunity unrestelling Negroes. For the white race, the Negro is more human-nature. In the Negro is asserting itself, and that the time is approaching when the upturned faces after a "race war" will not all be black. White men cannot forever mob and slay the people of another race, however doolie that race may seem to be, without in time being mobbed and slain in turn. The Negro Haters Are Llarn—Mr. For- tune Sees Straight From The Richmond Planet The NEW York AO announces that the conditions in the South with reference to railway travel in that section have grown worse and worse. We cannot understand why the authorities have not assured the hunters assured not only ourselves but the people of the country that this separation would make conditions better. Either Mr. Fortune's eyesight is getting bad and his faculties for observation blighted or these Negro-haters are the biggest flares on the South's railway system, which all matters affecting the poor Negroes of this angry clime. Shave With White Hot Iron Many and various are the substitutes for the razor of steel. In the uplands of Africa, where the natives have developed no little skill as workers in metal and produce knives of good temper, they seem not to have hit upon the idea of true shaving by the use of a cutting edge. Their chaps have been fitted with their chaps kept smooth by stinging. A plate of iron an inch in width, three inches long and a quarter of an inch thick is mounted in a handle of horn. This is brought to a white heat in the charcoal furnace and is passed over ever the face of the blade. The knife is then professed a close shave effect with a laxity of comfort to the most tender skin that no razor yet forged could bring about. Shining Baptist church, 230 West 81st street, Rev.

Bennet on The Reduction of State Taxes. Mr. Glichrist Stewart, who is candidate for nomination as Assemblyman, spoke before Mr. Bennet and was loudly applauded. After the singing of "America by the audience Congressman," he applauded. He spoke fully thirty-five minutes, giving a very clear explanation of the aim and purpose of his bill which seeks to reduce Southern representation in Congress. He also spoke in favor of an African-American. After this Miss Jessie Wardlaw elicited applause by her rendition of "The Gift of the Greatest Good." Counselor J. D.

ATLANTA, September 28—"The Clansman." Thomas Dixon's play, dealing with reconstruction times and the feats of the Kukuk Rlan, which was booked to appear at the Grand, October 31, November 1. 2 and 3, will not be seen in Atlanta this year. This can be asserted positively. Manager H. L. DeGive of the local playhouse stated yesterday that he had written the management of the play, telling of the situation here and suggesting cancellation of the dates for Atlanta. As he is under contract with the owners of "The Clansman," it was, of course, impossible for him to cancel the engagement in preparation for DeGive's state that it will be impossible for him to state positively about the production of the play until he hears from its owners, or perhaps until its advance representatives reach Atlanta. However, it is believed that there will be no trouble in reaching an agreement on this account, as it is thought that the backers of the play will see that it is altogether inadvisable to have it played in Atlanta just now. But if they insist on holding Manager DeGive to his contract this will not mean the production of the play in Atlanta, but the production will open in and forbid it. The mayor and council have not acted, preferring to give "The Clanman" people the opportunity to cancel their date voluntarily; but, if they fail to do this, the police will be instructed to prevent the opening of the house for this performance. While Manager DeGive yesterday expressed a dislike of going into print concerning his business affairs, it can be stated that he is thoroughly in sympathy with the views held by other representative Atlanta citizens on this question; but is naturally bound to respect his business obligations. If "The Clanman" management insists on attempting to sell the city to prospective interfees, as they will do should it be necessary, this will relieve the managers of the Grand from any responsibility. Not only will the production of "The Clanman" be harred, but it is certain also that no posters advertising the play will be allowed on the bill boards of the city. New Yorker Hurt in Trolley Crash in Los Angeles LOS ANGELES, Cal., September 29.—Mr. W. H. Collins, an Afro-American florist from New York who is here for his health, was injured in a street car collision in this city: His leg was sprained and bruised. JACK JOHNSON SIGNS FOR SCRAP WITH AL KAUFMAN Begins Upward Climb Toward Champion Jim Jefferson. Sam Flitzpatrick, the manager of the Afro-American heavyweight pugilist, Jack Johnson, announced that his principal and Al Kaulman had signed articles for a glove contest. It had been expected that Al Kaufman would put up some unsurmountable objection before he signed with Johnson, but it is now certain that they will fight as soon as some club offers them a goodly purse. The articles call for a glove contest from six to twenty rounds in length. This wording was especially used in order to enable the fighters to meet wherever the best offer was made. Flitzpatrick is anxious to have Johnson fight in "Fris- and in this he is second by Bob Doleman, and in the interest of the California club. If it found no northern club is willing to put up big money, the fight will probably be held in Philadelphia. A meeting between these two fighters has been looked for for some time. Jack Johnson has been vainly endeavoring to get a match with some of the good heavyweight and finally announced last week that he was willing to defeat Al Kaufman, Jack O'Brien, Tommy Hurms and Sam Berger in order to get a chance at the champion of them all, Jim Jeffries. Kaufman's last fight was fought in the arena when he met and defeated Freel Bradley five pounds at the Lincoln C. Chelsea, Mass. Before that he had only one fight that gave any idea of his ability, a seventeen-round go with Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, in which the California man was knocked out in the seventeenth round. Many of the sporting public think that the heavyweights have been purposely avoiding Johnson. That he has some ability was shown by the fact that Jeffries refused to meet him in the ring, giving the color line as his excuse, although the champion had already fought two other Afro-Americans. Johnson is very ambitious and is confident that he will be able to do away with Kaufman, should he face it. Not have bothered about meeting with Kaufman, the latter not been taken into consideration for a fight with Tommy Burmes and Sam Berger, both of whom are now vociferating their right to a fight for the championship.

WEST POINT, Ga., September 30:—Late yesterday afternoon, near Longdale, Ala., five miles below here, four Afro-Americans were shot, three of whom were killed on the spot and the fourth lies at the point of death.

It seem that the Afro-American, Lon Burdette, was waiting at the little wayside station for the Chattahoochee Valley train to take him to his home at a crossing a few miles below. He had deposited his basket in the waiting room and a white man by the name of Saddler, ordered him to take the basket out. Some words were passed and several other white friends of Saddler joined in chasing the man under a platform, where they three bricks and cocks at each other until Burdette drew his knife, when they crowded upon him, but he made his escape by rushing into the nearby store of L. R. Johnson & Co., where the proprietors protected him until the train left. The white man took the next train down and when they reached the crossing they saw Burdette there with a shotgun in his hand, standing with several other Afro-Americans. A volley of shots were fired from the train windows into the crowd, killing the loner Burdette, theabe McCants and Nile Shipman, and wounding possibly fatally a woman, Easter Burdette. McCants and Spratling were considered among the best Afro-Americans in this part of the country and, returning from shopping in West Point, had just stepped off of the train and were evidently ignorant of any trouble. The coroner's inquest was held to-day and it is reported that two of the white men have been arrested. J. E. Bush on Editor LITTLE ROCK, Ark., October 1.—Hon J E.

Speeches Needed, but Money Is What We Must Have. From The American Baptist. It is conceded by every race leader that organization is necessary to protect the race against unjust laws and other discriminations which are being practiced against us in every section and the only differences. If there are differences at all are the methods and policies of this organized effort. The oldest race organization along these lines is the National Afro-American Council which will meet in New York October 9. The official call which has been issued is no full and liberal that every person who is interested in the race issue can find mutual ground upon which to unite and do something practical and tangible in this direction. Public addresses to arouse public sentiment are all right in their way, but unless money is provided to take these questions into the courts when it is necessary the changing of the conditions will be very slow. The Council has made some progress in this direction and the people should come to the rescue in a substantial way and make the meeting in New York and the work of the Council in other respects the success it deserves to be.
