Muskegon may be so blew, but its high-density citizens are not. In fact, they are about the most enterprising, smart and stalking for the course of their lives, who are one find. Muskegon, therefore, their wrath when they are over the water, will still cover the Milkstone numbers, that "the Milkstone" was bode to open here in the Walnut street theatre Monday night of the week. Immediately a committee, headed by the Rev. M. Mussell, waited upon Mayor Winston and bended him to proclaim the announcement of the play, Mr. Wowar, a performance that he in his pocket, after a few minutes in his pocket, declined to interfere. What he declared to the next week he was forced to do yesterday. With Dr. Mussell and his committee and with this repeat, they only got better than ever. They then planned to create a great improvisive and peaceful theatricalism against the play and to the end found the following circular: A CALL TO ACTION. FREEMARKET, October 20, 1900. We the colored citizens of the City of Philadelphia, do unanimously and most deliberately prevent against the antifascist movement of Walnut Street, and are encouraged for next week demanding Sunday evening the 22nd尖. We appeal has done more to arouse a spirit of patriotism against the Negro and to encourage the black population have been encouraged by the past and because of its dangerous influence it has been driven out of a number of cities in the south and and to the north, and have been disturbed that it may further be the Walnut Street Theater during the coming week. All citizens are called upon to appear at the doors of the theatre on Monday night to see the F. F. Clement. Rev. E. W. Moore, D. D. N. F. Rey. Rev. E. W. Moore, D. D. N. F. Matthew Anderson, D. D. Rev. G. E. Tallafterro, D. D. Rev. R. W. Pickland, L. D. P. Algerson B. Jackson, M. D. D. William A. Davis, Ph. D. W. M. W. M. D. S. So it happened that on Monday night when the Walnut street theatre opened several hundred Afro-Americans had gathered, and by 8 o'clock there were 3,000 filling the streets and jerking those who entered the theatre. The crowd was very quietly, and well under the control of its leaders, the men who signed the circular. But inside the theatre a more unruly crowd was gathered in the gallery and as soon as the curtain rose began to peit the actors with fragrant eggs and aged vegetables. This foulish threw the audience into a panic; several women fainted and many rushed to get out. Four policemen rushed upstairs and detected Henry Jeckins, aged 22, in the act of hurling eggs. They arrested him, but not until his resistance had caused them to use their clubs. As the prisoner was being led down the street, the streaming blood, the sight infuriated the waiting throng and there were cries of "Rush the police!" But the leaders again got busy and prevented what would have been a sanguinary riot. The disturbance so alarmed the audience that only a handful stayed to see the play. The mob remained about the theatre until 10 o'clock, when it was announced that Mayor Weaver would receive a committee of leading Afro-Americans the day before to prohibit the play. The men then dispersed. Three or four had been arrested, but were afterwards released. In the delegation that waited upon the Mayor Tuesday were the most prominent Afro-Americans of the city—minisisters, lawyers, doctors and business men. Prominent among these were former Congressman George H. White, of South Carolina, now a resident of Philadelphia; Rev. Dr. G. L. P. Tallafero, Dr. N. F. Monsell, Rev. Dr. E. W. Moore, Rev. Dr. Matthew Anderson, Rev. Dr. R. W. Dickland, Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, Dr. T. G. Cooley, Dr. Min. Dr. William A. Davig, Dr. M. Slowe, James E. McGirt, Charles H. Brooks, Rev. Dr. Armstrong, Bishop J. E. Stansbury, John A. Sparks and John W. Parks. The Mayor had evidently understood the circular which ammonited the Afro-Americans to make a peaceful demonstration against the play, for he demanded an explanation of it. "I said he," said he, "had been asked last night every man whose name is attached to this circular would have been arrested and held accountable." Dr. Mossell as spokesman answered: "The gathering of our citizens last night was not that of a riotous or unruly mob. We came as orderly, peaceful citizens to show by our presence in large numbers our intimation at such a base production. We were not riotous, but the play in; and it incites to riot and to hatred of our people all who see it. There was not one lawman, many among us. The only lawman person, in the crowd was one of your own officers. Now as to the purpose of your Honor, Dr. Talifferto will answer you." Mr. B. Rowe, Oklahoma, October 17—18 besame billyma hare to day that B. A. Clinton, Emigration General of the United States Army, read an order from President Roosevelt several days ago to the battalion of the Twenty-fifth Regiment of Industry (ADV-American) here that the battalion must give the names of the men in the recent Brownerville, Tex. disturbance or be deliberately discharged. Three of the companies of the Twenty-fifth Regiment, B, Q, and D, are now at Fort Bena. On Saturday Gen. Garlington had the companies laid up on the parade grounds and gave them to understand that unless he get information by 9 o'clock Monday as to which of the men were up in the Truss trouble the three companies would be deliberately discharged. It is believed nothing has been revealed. The order was direct from President Roosevelt. Gem. Garlington made in the first step. The final steps were taken to carry out the dismissal part of the order. Hope Their Rights. May Prevail in Coming. Moehra. HAVANA, October 22. - El Fueblo Libre, a newspaper here, is urging the great Negro majority on the island to organise so that their rights may prevail at the coming elections. The recent elections are at bottom and a portion of the blacks to gain the rights from which the Palma government had excluded them. DID AFRO-AMERICANS Report Dominic, but Fire's Origin in BILL. A Mystery. GREENVILLE, S. C., October 22.—The evil conscience of the written, which persuaded them that they richly deserved such reprisals, probably initiated the report sent, out last week that the Afro-Americans of Bennec, S. C., had set the town on fire in revenge for the recent dynaming by the whites of Harrell college. This unpleasant event to have been quieted by the activity of the Afro-Americans in helping extinguish it. As灾害. But the origin of the fire is still a mystery, and it is quite possible that some Afro-Americans started it without the knowledge of the others. The buildings burned were two hotels, two stores adjoining the hotels, a clothing store, a drug store, grocery store and one hardware store, embracing the business of the hotel. It was in the basement of the Oceane Inn, which was left unlocked last night. No casualties are reported, and the occupants of the hotels had ample time to get out. The loss amounted to over $75,000. BARONESS ROSEN ATTENDS Production Under Aupices Daughterhood of Revolution. CHICAGO, October 10.—Last night at an Afro-American theater, the New Pekin, a special production of a play by Afro-Americanans was given by Afro-American actors under the auspices of the Daughters of the Revolution. The proceeds, over $1,200, were devoted to charity. In the boxes were such prominent ladies as Baroness Roseen, wife of the Russian ambassador; Mrs. Marguerite Springer, State regent of the Daughters of the Revolution; Mrs. Lillian Schaffner, author of a well-known novel, and many others. The play was "The Mayor of Dixie," written by A. L. Lyles and F. E. Miller. The actors were the Pekin Stock company of nearly Afro-Americans. Robert T. Motta is proprietor and manager. COMMEMORATE BIRTH OF TRUE REPORMERS' FOUNDER Had Browne Lived the Great Order Would Have Been Greater. RICHMOND, October 23.—Richmond Division of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, held commer- cation service last Saturday in honor of the late Rev. William Washington birth of the late Rev. William Washington Browne, founder of the organization. An elaborate program was rendered, in which there were addresses by Messrs. R. T. Hill W. P. Burrell. A. W. Holmes, Edward E. Jr., and others. Music by Bernard Bertha Sweete and Corn Epus added to the excellence of the program. The Reformer organization is a great one, but had Browne lived it would have been greater, for he was a man who believed in recognizing merit. This only allowed him, and in four years "By their works shall be know them" was his motto. Warranted for White Bioterm PITTALPHILIA, October 22—Warrants were issued Friday for the arrest of seven white men charged with being implicated in the race fight last Saturday night at Blackwood. The complains were made by Harmon Weise, an Afro-American, who says that both he and James Corney, also an Afro-American, were set upon by a big crowd of white men as they stepped from the train at Blackwood, head to blackwood and cut their way through the park, plus beer bottles. Weise says that he saw several shots fired at John Steele, an Afro-American, as the latter ran for his life away from the crowd. They were held for the action of the grand jury. The little swarms of insect politicians in the Ninth Assembly district was trodden under foot last Friday night, when George M. Kelth was unanimously deposed as leader by the elected officers and executive committee of the Regular Colored Organization of the Ninth Assembly district. William T. Hooper, chairman of the committee, was made leader pro vice president this week a regular leader will be elected. There is great rejoicing among the respectable element in the district over, the downfall of Keith. With him go down, they exult, the political hoodlums and medals, the ex-convicts and unprincipled adventurers who have had the effrontery to push themselves to the front and degrade all the Afro-American voters of the district by claiming to represent them by owning the Afro-Americanes of the district may feel proud that they have representatives who in intelligence, integrity and independence equal the best men whom the white organization can put forward. On Friday night last at the home of Mr. Hooper the following powerful Afro-American leaders of the district assembled: George L. Lee, president of the district club; Charles Turner P. K. King, Jackson, William T. Hooper, Leonard A. Fleming, G. W. Mills, James R. Taylor, G. W. Ganaway, W. H. Summerson, James A. Norwood, George Brooks, W. M. Rantus and Earle R. Lighthorne. James Turner bent his prey. Dr. P. A. Johnson and B. L. Stokus, who were unavoidably absent, have since added their contribution to the proceedings of the meeting. Keith's sense of guilt seems to have been so strong that he didn't dare face his accusers. He was not present. According to the summons served on Keith, his non-appearance would have been sufficient cause to convict him; but the committee decided not to take advantage of the threat to threash out the charges against him. Mr. Lightbourne, chairman of the law committee, reported that charges had been served on Keith on October 8, returnable that night at $30, and moved that as it was then 10 o'clock the trial should proceed. The motion was carried. Mr. Hooper acted as judge, Mr. Lightbourne as prosecuting attorney, James E. Norwood as foreman of the jury, and Norwood as stenographer and the others as jurors. Witnesses were examined and evidence taken in the most regular, deliberate and dispassionate manner. At 11:30 the prosecuting attorney rested. Mr. Hooper charged the jury, reading to them wections of the constitution which the evidence showed. Keith to have outraged. The jury then retired, and was addressed by Mr. Taylor with his well-known ability and energy. The jury were abashed, saying, "a unanimous verdict of 'Guilty.' Secretary Norwood was then instructed to order Keith in writing under no conditions to represent the Afro-American organization." In the future. During the meeting Friday night the following resolutions were introduced by W. H. Summerson and unanimously passed: New York city, October 19, 1906. Whereas, We, the only elected officers and members of the prospective board of the Ninth Assayment District, after having duly notified George M. Keith, according to the constitution and by laws of the Regular-Colored Republican Organization of the Ninth Assembly, the following charges preferred against him for violating his oath of office as leader of this, the Regular Colored Republican Organization of the Ninth Assembly, the District, and we further declare that the mald George M. Keith ceases from this date to be our leader or representative on matters pertaining to this Regulatory, as a result of the organization of the Ninth Assembly District. Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to Mr. John P. Windolph, leader of the Ninth Assembly White Republican Organizing Person, president of the New York County Republican Committee, and also a copy to THE NEW YORK AUK. GEORGE L. LEE, President. EARLE R. LIGHTHOUSE, II. HENRY V. Vice-President. JAMES D. TURNER, Second Vice-President. W. H. SUMMERSON, Financial Secretary. GEORGE O'GARWAY, Treasurer. WILLIAM DRAFTON, Sergeant-at-Arms. WILLIAM T. HOGER, Chairman Executive Committee. JAMES A. NORWOOD, Secretary Executive Committee. An error of your proof reader last week compels us again to the offensive duty of referring to the career of W. T. R. Richardson. He was sentenced to the hittings of the city of New York in the year 1804—not 1904, as we were made to say. Keith is being bolstered up for a few brief days by the assistance of one or two men in the white organization who are anxious to see the Afro-American votes of the district councillors in the same state of political wisdom which they coupled under Koch. One of these white men is Andrew M. McLaren, who went so far at the Campaign Committee meeting Monday night as to ask the chairman not to stagnate Earl R. Lightburns, one of the anti-Koch leaders. It is the opinion of the Awwar Association that McLaren could慈怀 himself much more wisely with his own affairs, which his present predilection in the white organization should make accordingly instructing to him. WASHINGTON, October 17.—Assistant Attorney General Charles W. Russell has been sent South to take charge of the investigation of the pennage cases and to prosecute the cases against those persons now under indictment. In announcing his selection for the duty Attorney General Moody said: "I have decided to assist Assistant Attorney General Russell to Florida and elsewhere in the South to look after the various prosecutions and other matters which will be handled. We have selected Mr. Russell because of the fact that he is a Southern man, a Democrat, and familiar with the conditions existing in the South." The problem of determining where responsibility lies for present pennage practices is difficult. In some States it is based in part on the system of leasing out the labor of convicts and other offenders. Contractors have thus obtained the general control of bodies of men from penitentiaries and jails, and with the authority of State law and regulation have kept them at work; being, of course, required to guard them and prevent escapes. Thus out of this system of convict development. Out of this system of pennage system. It is difficult to determine where the State's proper right to control the services of convicts state and where the right of Federal Government to stop in under the pennage act and the guarantees of the Constitution begins. POLITICAL CAMPAIGN ABSORBS Question Whether Whites Will Support Afro-American Candidates. Chicago, October 22—Politics seems to have a firm grip on the Afro-Americans of Chicago. Not given in a Presidential election has been shown a more widespread interest. This is, of course, due to the fact that there are three African Americans on Republican ticket, three that will move to a liberal share of the State, county and city patronage will fall into the laps of the would-be statesmen and party workers of the race. Much is at stake—that is to say, coal, house rent, overcrowds, etc. cry out for Republican success all along the political line. It is feared by the wise ones that the frequency of lynchings and riots in the South will consequently decrease. The public mind agrees that the Afro-American will not contribute to the chance of the Afro-American candidates, who cannot be elected without the normal Republican white vote. The Afro-American voters of Chicago feel that they are in the presence of a great responsibility. If they bring weakness instead of strength to the ticket, the result may prove fatal to future ambitions. If there are more African Americans who know how to make white Republicans loyal to black Republicans, now and here are the time and place for his magic knowledge to be exerted. AFRO-AMERICAN GRL WINS "CHICAGO AMERICAN" PRIZE Spelling Content Among School Children—Instance of Precocity. CICAGO, October 23.—Almost at nite every hour when at Atlanta and clowns savage Saxons were committing all sorts of crimes in the name of white supremacy over black people, a little 12-year-old Afro-American girl, Hazel Handy, in Chicago, won a notable prize against a host of white competition. The *Chicago* winner, a 12-year-old African-American contest among the school children of the city. When it came to award the prizes to the winners, it was discovered that the first prize belonged to a little Afro-American girl. The American promptly awarded her the prize in the form of a check for $12. The little prize winner is a daughter of the team, and in a moment of mental brightness would scarcely have been thought of as coming within the range of a contest. Perhaps it would not be uninteresting to note another incident of juvenile preciety in connection with the above. In the corridors of the Wendell Phillips High School in Chicago the other day everyone noticed a little Afro-American boy confidently holding in his little arm some books, the size and title of which seemed far beyond his years. He seemed clearly out of place, and those who first thought he had mistaken the high school for a low-grade school. He, however, quickly undeceived them by showing that he had quickly and successfully passed all the lower grades and was, by virtue of successful examinations, passing to his seat among the high school students. These instances of mental preciety are not rare. In hundreds of schools these little students of poor and unlettered Afro-American parents are quietly and increasingly contradicting the false philosophy of a divinely appointed inferiority. Wunder in the 20th Infantry. MANILA, October 17—Sgt. Taylor, the Twenty-fourth United States Infantry has shot and killed First Lieutenant Robert B. Calvert of that regiment on the island of Leyte. No details of the affair have been received yet. BARBER TOOK TO HIS HEELS Recently Marched Barefoot to John Brown's Grave, Resolving to Die for the Race Special Correspondence of Tan-Aon ATLANTA, Ga., October 16—Matters in Atlanta are fast quieting down, and the usual routine of life has begun. The schools and colleges have opened as usual, and, all things considered, the attendance is fair. Our people here are not discouraged, notwithstanding the trial" through which they have been passing. They are not only going ahead in school and church work, but also in business enterprises, such as the new shoe store and the new bank. The committee of twenty Afro-Americans and ten white men are working to bring about and maintain peace and harmony between the face and feel sure that success will be the result. Your readers were no doubt glad to know that Dr. White had returned to his home in Augusta and was editing The George Baptist as usual. Dr. White has never been out of the South and not far from Augusta at any time. In this connection I must say that Mr. J. Max Barber made a serious blunder by leaving here. When a prominent Afro-American leaves a community it encourages the leaves to take other prominent Afro-Americans leave, and when they do it is very discouraging to those remaining. The facts are that a white man called Mr. Barber to his office and advised him to leave the city. Without further ado he left on the first train leaving Atlanta. There were other and equally prominent Afro-Americans whose lives were in dandruff they show to us, and face death rather than show the white people. Our people here are rather surprised at the sudden leaving of Mr. Barber in view of the fact that he has been advising the race to stand up for its rights, face death, and, if necessary, die for the race. Naturally your readers can imagine our surprise to know that he is the first and only one to leave the city. Acts of violence against our people, but he is the only one to run away and had the least cause for doing so. The running away of Barber has another demoralizing influence; it discourages the masses, who, for a number of years have stood by these leaders here. Now in the hour of *till* and danger one of them lies to the North. We presume that he, like the others, will write articles advising us in the South to stand up for our rights and even did if it becomes necessary. It seems incredible to people here that this can be the same Max Barber who only a few weeks ago was marching around the grave of John Brown at daybreak, hardcoated, to initiate in him John Brown's bravery and to remind him that he like Dr. Craigman and Dr. Rowen, whose lives were in real danger, left for a season we should have felt that they were justified, but there was absolutely no excuse for Max Barber's leaving. A gentleman on the street not long since remarked that for the first time he underwent a serious illness, and meant; it means, said he, to "Move" in case of danger. Mr. Barber justified this description by his action. We understand Max Barber is now preparing to play to the galleries and assume the part of a martyr. If so, it is a cheap martyrdom, cheaply bought. We venture the assertion that not a dozen white men here knew he was the publisher of such a journal as The Voice of the Negro. ATLANTA "DEPUTY SHERIFF" PULLED FOR INTOXICATION Kind of Men the Law Armed During Race Riota. ATLANTA, October 19.—Cicero Baldwin, a grocery merchant and one of the deputy sheriffs who were sworn in by Sheriff Nelms during the riot, was arrested for being intoxicated Wednesday at the fair grounds. A pistol was found concealed on him. He stated to the recorder yesterday morning that he was still a deputy sheriff and had a badge and pistol because he was an officer. The recorder informed him that he could not carry a concealed weapon even if he wore an officer and held him in $100 Democrats-Import Race Issue Into Oklahoma. GUTHRIE, OKLA., October 18—The Democratic party in this State has impartial the race issue and is trying to carry its ticket by appeals to race hatred, are trying to teach the Indians to hate Afro-Americans and class themselves with the whites. It is feared the Indians are open to persuasion in this direction. Nominated for Congress from Minnesota. GREENWOOD, Mise, October 20.-Gee W. Chatters, an ex-splave, has been nominated for Congress in the old "Shoe String" district, once represented by John R. Lynch, and will-speak in various parts of the district. Punished Highly by White Daddy—On His Way Word. CHARLISSON, W. V., October 20.—The oratorical laurels of a big Afro-American political meeting held here last night at the Court House were easily borne off by Hill House Watson and Mr. Giltchrist Sparrow, New York. Of Mr. Stewart The Charleston Daily Gazette says to day: "Mr. Stewart, of New York, proved himself to be one of the most practical and eloquent Negro quaters that ever spoke in this section, and his speech was not only a credit to himself but to his entire race. "It was filled with good common sense and practical wisdom all the way through, and was practically devoted to the political clap-trap and not that usually acterise men of his race. He counseled the Negroes to practice industry, economy and sobriety as well as absolute independence in the exercise of the franchise of the ballot." Mr. Stewart is on his way West on business for the Constitution League. ILLINOIS TOWN DRIVES Mob Gatherer After Reports of Attempted Aggression CASKET, Ill. October 20—Influenced by the reports of two attempted assaults on white women, a mob formed to day and invading the Afro-American quarter, ordered everybody to leave town within twenty-four hours. An attempt was made to lynch one of the reputed assailants, but he escaped. Threats were made to exterminate all the Afro-Americans in town, but it was finally decided to run out. They are leaving as fast as possible. The white hodium element all over the country has learned its lesson from Atlanta. Sheriff Thoughtfully Went Home to Sleep, Leaving Law Unguarded. Monica, Alk., October 21—"Bobert Clark, alias Dan Dave, came to his death at the end of an inch rope and at the hands of an unknown mob." Such was the verdict of the coroner's jury. Three hundred masked white men, all armed with the Afro-American from the little wooden cedar, Miss, early to day and hanged, telegraph pole in the center of the town, which is forty miles from Mobile. The body remained in suspension until eleven o'clock; 5,000 persons saw it. Clark, whose home was in Kansas City, Mo., is said to have confessed that he had attacked Mrs. Frank Dickson and Mrs. Helen Hinton, both of naval stores operators in that section. A hue and cry for him was raised; Clark stole a horse and rode away. Dr. W. X. Newhorne and Deputy Sheriff Hinton came upon Clark riding near Wilmer, twelve miles from here, yesterday. When he saw them, Clark raised his shotgun, but Hinton was quicker and wound him. He fell from his horse. A mob gathered Wilmer to lynch him, but the officers flagged an engine and took him to Lucedale. There officers guarded him in the jail, a filmy structure, until 10:30 o'clock last night. There was no sign of a mob gathering then; the town seemed to be asleep. The officers locked up the jail and went home. Then the three hundred and quiet were they that Clark's swaying body was intimation of the lynching to most of Lucedale's citizens. The lynchers gave Clark time to pray. GANS SAYS MOVING PICTURES ARE MANIPULATED UNFAIRLY They Are in Charge of Nolan, Nelson's Manager. INDIANAPOLIS, October 20.—Joe Gans, lightweight champion of the world, is appearing at the Empire this week. He admitted that he had a hard job in licking Nelson, whom he defeated for the title in their recent fight in Goldfield, New, and who appeared at the Gayetty Peaney incarnates that greeted Gans's speech, preliminary to his boxing bout, it is clear that he has a host of friends in Indianapolis. Gans made a little curtain speech of ten or twelve minutes. He isn't half had as a "public speaker," and many of his remarks were roundly applauded. Gans's speech was a criticism of the treatment he had received at the hands of Nolan, Nelson's manager, and an arranger in an attempt to give him all the trust of whatever articles the two fighters may sign for a future scrap. Gans saw the moving pictures of the fight in St. Louis Sunday night. The presentation of these pictures, it will be remembered, is under: the direction of Nolan, and Gans makes the charge that they are manipulated to show him up in an as had a light as possible. He says that the fight is over the fight, and are run off slowly, while those in which he had the better of the argument are run out so swiftly that the spectators cannot get a fair idea of the progress of the battle. The fouls that Nelson committed, especially the one that ended the fight, Gans says, are thrown on the screen so quickly, that it is very hard to get the true story that the pictures should show. Gans has the idea that the "game" that Nelson and thinks that the "game" that Nelson is aptly named on him in Goldfield was the work of Nolan. Gana announces his willingness to fight Nelson again and to offer him terms of 63 per cent. to the winner. The agreement at Goldfield was 75 per cent. to Nelson, win or lose. A reception was tendered Gana by the Summer League Thursday from 2 till 10 p.m. Up in the 15th Congressional District — which embraces parts of the 11th, 18th, 17th, 25th and 29th Assembly districts, and all of the 15th, and including Sam Juan Hill and large numbers of African American voters—a political content of the Democratic candidate is going on. The Republican candidate Jacob Van Petten Olcott, who is up for nomination, and his Democratic opponent is Henn John J. Halligan. This contest has National importance because of the duty incumbent upon Afro-Americans everywhere who have the JACOB VAN VECHTEN OLOOTT. Interests of their race at heart not to permit the Republican majority of the last House of Representatives to be decreased by one man. A Democratic major- ity in the House would mean John Sharp Williams for Speaker instead of Uclef Joe Cannon; it would mean Southern Democrats for chairmen of nearly all the House Committees; it would mean that Congressman Hardwick's bill for the repeal of the 15th Amendment would have a good chance of being enacted. Afro-Americans nowhere, unless they want to commit political suicide, should make the mistake of strengthening hands in Congress of John Sharp Williams and his crew of Southern difranchisers by aiding in the election of any Democrat to Congress, however popular he may be and however rosy his promises. Olecott's Record on Race Problem. Particularly insistent is their duty to support Republican candidates for Congress when the candidate has made no unexceptionable a record on the race problem as is true of Congressman Olecott. He, with Congressman Bennett of New York, is one of the few Congressmen in Ohio in the Congress disregarded Speaker Cannon's cannon, and against "waving the bloody shirt" and insturrected and supported bills for the reduction of Southern representation. Last May, when the case came up of Samuel Lee of South Carolina, who was voted the right in the 47th Congress to a contested seat in the House, but who had never received his pay as a Representative, Mr. Olecott was one of the prominent Republicans who got through a bill awarding $10,452 to Lee's heirs for salary and allowances, in spite of all the filibustering that John Sharp Williams would contrive. There were 13 roll calls on this bill and the Congressional Record shows that M. Olecott was in his seat and answered to all requests for nine previous and beer imported in nine previous Congresses and had nine times been defeated. Lee was an Afro-American. Of Mr. Olcott's activity in behalf of Aaron P. Prioleau, an Afro-American from South Carolina who contested a seat in the 50th Congress, we shall let Mr. Prioleau himself speak in an open letter he has addressed to the Afro-American voters of the 15th Congressional District: Prioleau's Open Letter: Fellow Citizens: Please allow me to commend you for electing and sending such a gentleman and patriotic Republican representative, an honorable J. Van Vechten Olcott to Congress. During my content for a seat in the 50th Congress from the First Congressional Carolina, met this gentleman through the M. W. Gilbert, D. D., of 165 West 58rd street, of your city, one of the colored race's most representative leaders, and through him my contest and the interest therein to us was appreciated. In his representation, his representative, and the importance was urged upon him of using his good offices to help me secure my seat, so that the ten millions of Afro-Americans in the United States, one representative in the National Congress, as was justly due to us as citizens. This gentleman approached me in Con- ference. I informed me of his advice from R. Gilbert. I asked him to help me better. He took an active part before the Election. Committee and members in the committee delayed the report chairman of the committee delayed the report in this contest until I was forced to ask the committee members handed down an answer to answer members handed down an answer to answer members handed down the 85th of June last—uped up for pub- My position as a constituent for a seat in the 56th and 57th Congress has given me the true conditions of observation as to what the true conditions of observation must be a race and as offence of the United States in that representative body, in order that we may command deeds, we may command actions, and all other nationalities under the law and Constitution of the country command—before this Nation our rights and privileges-before this Nation and that besome body of knighthood. Trusting, fellow citizens, that each of you who are voters in this district has the importance of electing Representative Greg Norman as the president, and that the standard bearer of district, and that you realize the fact that this matter concerns you all, and that it is for the best interest for you, you should not, to write upon mutual ground and give you a larger majority than ever was given a Republican before in your district, and that God who judges and blesses the Nation will bless, prosperity and success in all your homes and businesses. AARON P. FRIELMAN, CHARLESTON, B. C., October 12, 1904. Would it be possible for any Democratic member, to aid our cause in this manner? For his efforts in Mr. Prilouw* behalf alone every colored voter in his district, whether Democrat or Republican, should do his utmost to elect Congressman Olcott on November 6. He has certainly proved himself our true friend. Glott's Career in Interpreting. Mr. Olcott was born in New York city on May 17, 1856. He graduated from the public schools here, the College of the City of New York and the Law School of Columbia College. He began as aerk in the office of Hon. E. Ellery, Brown, and then practiced a numb bory of years with his brother, W. M. K. the best District Attorney New York now had. Congressman Olcott is now an active partner in the firm of Dougbury, Olcott & Turney, at 27 William street. During the administration of Mayor Strong, Mr. Oscott was appointed as a Municipal Civil Service Commissioner, which office he filled with credit to the administration. In 1904 he was elected by the Republican party as a Representative to the 50th Congress from the Fifteenth Congressional District. He is a member of a number of clubs and a trustee in several charitable organisations where his advice is eager sought. During his term as a member of the Fifty-ninth Congress, and in the first session he added to his dutiful with seal and fideliety. It is well-known fact that he was found in his seat in the House of Representatives almost every day when it was in session strictly attending to the great number of matters affecting the city of New York and particularly to the many wants of his constituents. Every request made of him by any of his constituents he cheerfully responded to and, wherever possible, accomplished. His ability was soon recognized by his colleagues, and, shortly after the convening of Congress, he was made a member of one of the important Committees of the House of Representatives—the Committee on the District of Columbia, which, in conjunction with a similar Committee appointed by the Senate, is practically the Board of Aldermen of the city of Washington. His services on this committee were incessant and brilliant. Chairman of Committee During First Term. The Speaker of the House, in looking around for a fitting Representative to appoint as chairman of a special investigating committee, created a precedent by appointing to that important position Mr. Olcott; though he was serving his first term in Congress. This committee was appointed to investigate the management of the Government Hospital for the Insane, situated in Washington, the largest hospital for the insane in the United States, having some 2,500 patients. The Committee sat almost daily for several months taking testimony of witnesses, and its work was not concluded when Congress adjourned. During the period occupied in this investigation, Mr. Olcott was also obliged to attend to the numerous meetings and conferences of the Committee on the District of Columbia and its subcommittees, in addition to his other duties of a general nature as a member of the House in caring for the interests of the residents of his district and of the city of New York. His colleagues in the House would be greatly disappointed if he were not returned to the 60th Congress, as would also be the residents of the District of Columbia. He was active in framing and voting against the bill for the organisation of the police department of the District of Columbia with increased salaries for the members of the force, and also had much to do with the passing of the bill reorganising the fire department of the District with increased salaries. A large number of Afro-Americans are employed in these departments. Public Schools in Washington. In the reorganization of the public school system in the District Mr. Olecott was an ardent worker, and with his assistance the bill was finally passed giving increases in salaries to the teachers of the school system and with his assistance he was a member of the Committee on this public question, and his unceasing efforts at the meetings of this subcommittee and his part in the debate on the floor of the House added materially in the passage of the School Bill. To accomplish all of these things the people of the District have been working for years, and they have in many ways showed their appreciation of Mr. Oltott's services in their behalf. There are but a few of the institutions concerning the District of Columbia in which Mr. Oltott once briefly attended. In summation the following is the opinion of Mr. Yeo. To this effect he would readily and willingly to best which would be in benefit the city and best conserved his interests, and in this his record will also show that he was successful. Appreciation for New Custom House. Mr. Ollott introduced a bill making appropriation of $1,000,000 for the interior decoration of the new Custom House. Through his efforts the bill, reduced to $400,000, passed the House, but when it reached the Senate that body cut out the appropriation. Mr. Ollott, together with Representatives Purpose and Purpose, took the matter up with the Committee in the Senate, and finally succeeded in having the appropriation reported by that Committee, after which the bill became a law. He also, in conjunction with Congressmen Paterson and Bennet, was instrumental in creating a new post office at the new terminus of the Pennsylvania Railroad in New York city, and on this matter the amount of work that had to be done was enormous. They also made the extension of the pneumatic tube services in New York possible. Laboratory in Public Stores. He together with Congressmen Bennet and Calder, was successful in having the position of laborers in the United States Public Stores raised so that they are now on the same footing as annual clerks, with two weeks' vacation and two weeks' leave of absence while sick, with pay. Work for Foot Office Employees and Excavators His work in behalf of the New York letter carriers and clerks was important. He was constantly engaged with the Committee on Post Office and Post Boards in the House, and also the Committee in the Senate in attempting to have included in the appropriation bill for the post office department a provision for an increase in salaries of these worthy and overworked servants of the Government. His speech made on the floor of the House in favor of amending the appropriation bill so that it would make this provision so a forceful argument, and it is the opinion among the members of the 59th Congress that the question as to increased salaries of carriers and clerks in cities of the first class is nearer solution than it ever has been; and there is strong hope entertained by the members that such bill can be passed at the next session. Mr. Olcott is on record saying that he will work an energetically in their behalf at the next session, if elected, as he did at the last. He feels that he has the confidence of every post office clerk and carrier in New York city that he will finally succeed in this task. Regarding pension matters, Mr. Orcott was entirely successful as a member servicing his first term. He succeeded in having pawned and made laws a great many bills granting pensions and increase of pensions to old soldiers, and this work was a great pleasure to him at all times. This brief summary of the splendid re-education made him a popular of success in appeal to his constituents as a harbinger of greater things in the next Congress if he should be re-elected. His influence in Washington is great and if he is re-elected will be greater. He may yet assist in delivering the Afro-American people from the horrible abuses perpetrated in the South. KELLY MILLER TELLS BRICHMOND ABOUT THE RACE PROBLEM Urges Patriotism and Self-Confidence as Alda to Solution. RICHMOND, October 24.—The lecture of Prof. Kelly Miller last Monday night at True Reformers' Hall, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., on "The Duty of the Hour," was a rich literary treat. and was greatly enjoyed by a large audience. Prof. Miller prefaced his lecture by stating that in the discussion of his subject he would not attempt to offer a solution of the perplexing questions now nagitating our social fabric, causing strained relations between the races in selections of the country and open ruinages in others, but that he would give a few suggestions which, if followed, would make for the good of the race. He suggested education, patriotism, courage, self-control, character, union of aim and effort and faith in God and in one's self. Each of these factors was thoroughly and logically analyzed, with an eloquence and an empathy so commanding as to keep the audience's rapt attention from start to finish. STEVENS SAYS WHITES CAN STAND CANAL CLIMATE Wrong Ideas About Immunity of West Indians. WASHINGTON, October 22.—The chairman of the Isthmian Canal Commission is in receipt of letters from the Isthmus from Chief Engineer Stevens and Col. Gorgas, chief sanitary officer, which shows an encouraging condition of health among the laborers brought from northern Spain to work on the canal. Since January 1 there have been about 300 these, and not a single one has died from cancer. They have malaria in about the same degree as the American whites, but not at all to the extent that the West Indians have, and there has not been a single case of yellow fever among them. Their general condition, in the opinion of Col. Gorgas, is about as good as it was in their homes in Spain, and they stand the climate much better than the West Indian laborers. Mr. Stevens writes that he is convinced by this experience that "any white man, so called, under the same conditions, will stand the climate on the Isthmus very much better than the blacks, who are supposed to be immune from practically everything, but who, as a matter of fact, are subject to almost everything." Fleisham Immigrants Bound South. Bauhaus, October 18—Two hundred and fifty eight skilled Fleisham weavers, with their families to-day left Ghent for Brumen, whence they will call on the stoner of the North German Lloyd Line direct for Charleston, S. C. This is the first installment of a considerable immigration movement arranged under the auspices of the Government of Begham and the authorities of South Carolina. Special Correspondence of THE AU. BROOKMONT, Va. October 22-Late last Friday afternoon, the executive committee of the Jamestown Negro, Development and Exposition Company awarded the designs for the Administration Building to be erected on the Jamestown Exposition grounds. The committee in its awards was very much perplexed as to declaring .on the best plan among: the drawings presented by the many competing architects, all of whom were Afro-Americans. After much deliberation the choice narrowed down to five drawings, submitted by William Sidney Pittman, Washington, D. C.; A. Rayfield and O. W. Wagner; A. J. Tucker, Washington, W. T.; Bailey, Tunkerey, and C. Henry Wilson, Philadelphia. The plans of these five were sent to the superwing architect of the U. S. Treasury for his selection of the best. This official returned to the committee the drawings of J. A. Lankford and W. S. Pittman as the best suited and most complete of the five submitted to him. After a careful consideration of many hours by the committee, and with Messrs. Pittman and Lankford both present to explain their details the committee by unanimous vote selected the plans of Mr. Pittman. A description of the plans may be summed up as follows: (1) The general exterior is of rich Colonial design, strongly influenced by classic composition and slightly enlivened by color effect, flag poles, bits of ornamentation, etc., as suggestive of its intended purpose. (2) The main entrance is given dignity through the use of a large extended Colonial porch supported by four massive columns resting in a spacious concrete floor. These four columns, together with all superstructure, the main corner all round building, the exterior trim of openings, ornamental work, etc., are all to be of solid, white finish, constructed of a material called "staff." These are to be constructed of pebble dash plaster work finished in natural cement color. The body of roof is to be covered with a cheap but sufficiently durable material and tinted a somber red between white strips, producing napelling effect. (4) The first floor for the building is to have two distinct floors) shall contain, in addition to 38,000 square feet of exhibit space, four stair halls, with entrances from the outside and from the inside of building, two spaces offices, retiring rooms and toilets for ladies, and toilets for men. The height of the first floor is 20 feet in the clear. (5) The second floor is primarily intended for the use of a large auditorium whose seating capacity is 5,000. On this floor shall also be arranged separate retiring rooms and toilets for men and women. A large stage seating 300 is located directly over the main entrance of the building and danked on either side by an antero-room. Additional exhibit space shall be provided for on this floor for all special work in sewing, needlework, etc. (6) The building is to be well lighted and ventilated on all sides by means of large and airy windows, with great skylights in the roof for the auditorium. At night electricity will be profusely employed both inside and outside to the greatest advantage of the building from any point of view. Bids for the erection of the building will be advertised in the next few days. will be advertised in the next four days. Mr. Pittman is a Tuskegee product. He completed the course in the wheelwrighting division of Tuskegee Institute and also graduated from the literary department of the institution. During his term of four years he showed such great ability in architectural drawing and designing that Dr. Washington and others persuaded him to stay there and take an advanced architectural course, which he completed in two years. After that Dr. Washington and several of the executive officers of the school saw that he gave fine promise as an architect, and the school advanced him money to pay all of his expenses for three years to take a course in architecture at Dexel Inate in Philadelphia. As Mr. Pittman managed his high school job, he instituted, being fourth in his class. As soon as he graduated, he was given a position in Tuskegee Institute as architect, which not only required him to make plans for all new buildings while serving this position, but to teach architecture to the advanced and post-graduate students, which he did with eminent ability and success. The Collis P. Huntington Memorial Building, the largest and most substantial building on the school grounds, which contains forty-one large classrooms, was designed by Mr. Pittman. There are at least a dozen other buildings, including the large and small, on the school grounds, drawn by Mr. Pittman. He has made plans for as many of the buildings owned by Tuskegee Institute as any other one person. Last year he resigned from Tuskegee Institute to move to Washington, where he would have a broader field in which to work. He has met great success in his business in the North, having now under his construction a number of large buildings in many of the different cities. Fresher Held on Grave Change. PHILADELPHIA, October 22—According to the member of the so-called "vice squad" the Rev Joseph M. Robinado, an officer of the district house at 206 Mariervine street. The place was raided last night, and the prescriber was locked up in the eighth district station house. Magistrates: Elmebrown held Robinado under $600 hall for court, which was produced. Up in the North Assembly district then dwelled an original character who rejoiced in the cagemann of "Mist Hanna." Some people say his real name is Leonard A. Fleming, but the majority of Afro-American voters in the district believe this is only his nickname. "Mist Hanna" he is, and ever shall be. Long before "Mark Hanes" went into politics and became, so they may, been of ```markdown ``` Holl's Kitchen, he was born just like any ordinary citizen in the metropolis of Raleigh, N. C. Unconscious of his future fame, "Mark" for seven long years descended to the position of porter for the firm of R. B., Andrews & Co. Then, armed with credentials and recommendations from this firm, which had at last been appointed to the position of solicitor themselves to be separated from "Mark," he came to New York to seek his fortune. In the Ninth "Mark" has grown to be an institution and a power. Mr. Windolph speaks highly of him, and there is hardly a meeting in the 34th street club that he is not called to stand and deliver one of his droll speeches. At such times "Mark" is in his glory. He affects the long coat and slouch that supposed to be the only appropriate dress for estate owners. It was "Mark's" vote last Friday night which made the verdict against Keith unanimous.

President Roosevelt has been appealed to by members of a newly organized body of Afro-Americans of this city to use his influence in assisting to better the condition of the race in the South by dishandling the Republican organizations in that section of the country. The leaders, who say their work is "a new emancipation movement," the leader of which is John B. Syphax, who was a member of the Virginia Legislature during reconstruction days, declare that politics is responsible for all the conflicts between Americans of the South, and say that the cupid bag politicians and the white Republicans are the worst enemies of the race. The appeal declares that the only object of the Republican organisations in the South is to obtain, for certain white men and a few Afro-Americans all the Federal patronage that a friendly President will give, and that even in States where no Republican candidate could get an entrench the vote the Republican organisation artificially sets the sole purpose of obtaining patronage. In a statement issued by the organization is the following: "The Negroes back of the movement think it is high time the Negro should protest against being exploited for the private gain of a small class of office holders. The promoters hope to destroy the antagonism that was created in times under the function, and establish conditions under which a two races may live together in peace and mutual helpfulness." In the appeal sent to the President and the Governor of every Southern State it is stated that the troubles of the Afro-American in the South were caused by their formation after the war into "Loyal Lagues" and "Republican Party" organizations, as weapons against the whites of that section. The address concludes as follows: "When the day shall come that we are no longer used by white men as more human ammunition with which to fight our white neighbors, then, and only then, can we consistently go to Jamestown, Va., and on benedicts know ask our God to help white men keep secure the command that He made with the founders of the Nation."

ODD FELLOWS FACE SPLIT Morris and Houston to Fight for Control Next Year At Atlantic City, West Will Be Arrayed Against the North and East Special Correspondence of Tux Age, Richmond, Va., October 22.—The coming of the great Biennial Movable Committee of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows to Richmond was, as has been stated in this correspondence, the greatest fraternal gathering which ever met in this city. During "Odd Fellows Week" everybody was a hearty-Odd Fellow, superficially, but now that the excitement is over, the delegates away and men taking time to breathe, collect sober thoughts and think over the deliberations of the B. M. C. it is an open question as to whether the coming of the body to Richmond has strengthened it in this bailwick or not. There are those who believe not—and they outnumber those who are optimistic ten to one. We, here in Richmond, saw the strain and knew the tension was no great that just a least bit more would have snapped the tie that binds, and in America there would be to-day two branches of the English order among Afro-Americans, as there are two of Elke, two of Pythians, two of Scottish Rites Masons, two of True Reformers, two of St. Luke's and two of everything that claims corporate rights and copyrights. Luckily the breach was not opened, but the failure of the B. M. C. to adopt the proposition calling for district representations in the future will bring the same unwieldy delegations to Atlantic City in 1908, and the fight for the grand mastership will not be the East, the North and West against the South, with all the politicians on the one side and the votes on the other without a leader; but it will be the great West against the North and East—Morris against Houston—with the awardeed purpose of a change in the tenure of office of the grand officer, and the setting up of what is practically a life tenure, such as privals among the True Reformers to day.

Foraker of Ohio he had the courage to stand before an assembly of white men and champion full constitutional rights for Afro-Americans, exert their loyalty in peace and war and then ample justice for their unpunished progress since emancipation. Senator Foraker long since earned the nickname of "Fire Alarm" for his uncontrolling insistence upon the ideals of the framers of the 14th and 15th Amendments, and he is one of the very few white men with the great prominence in the North who still serve in the House. Howard Thaddeus Stevens and the other great Reconstruction statement stood. The occasion of his address was the fourth annual reunion of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland. Senator Foraker was the orator of the day. Three thousand people heard him speak in the auditorium. The Twelfth cavalry band at Fort Oglethorpe escorted Senator Foraker and members of the society to the auditorium. General Gates P. Thruston, president of the society, introduced Senator Foraker, referring to him as a political hero. The audience frequently applauded Senator Foraker's speech, which dealt with political and racial questions growing out of the Civil War. Senator Foraker reviewed at some length the great struggles of the Civil War and some of the results growing out of that conflict. He then continued: "It seems incredible that the government that is all powerful to accomplish the long list of splendid achievements mentioned—that is all powerful to do the works that have been wrought at home and abroad—is yet, nevertheless, incapable of protecting at home, on our own soil, under our own flag. In the enjoyment of all his Constitutional and political rights, our humbest citizen. "It is our boast, and has been for forty years, that we abolished slavery and lifted the Negro up out of his degradation to a plane of political equality with all other citizens in the presence of our Constitution and our laws. "With the encouragement and inspiration given him, the black man has during these forty years made a great deal of progress. The four and a half millions of Negroes of 1800 practically owned nothing. Nearly all of them were owned by somebody else. "Without any preparation for freedom and the assumption of their responsibilities of citizenship, they might have been expected to make but little advancement even with everybody lending them a helping hand; but, particularly so, having to contend as they did against all the prejudices and hatreds born of their previous condition. And yet while we have seen their population barely double, we have seen them accumulate property, which they to-day own in their own right, to the amount of more than $500,000.00. We have seen them, while struggling up out of poverty, yet seeking and finding education, until where probably not one man in a thousand could then read or write, to day less than half of them are illiterate. We have seen them establishing schools and colleges and universities of their own and successfully conducting them. "They have their bad classes, as every other people have, and many more, probably, than they should have; all of whom must be rigidly dealt with under the law just as other criminals; but as a people they have ever been loyal to American institutions and loyal to the American flag. In every war through which the country has passed they have, so far as we have permitted them to do, borne an honorable part. "And yet it would seem as though this very loyalty and patriotism and progress they are making are to-day militating against their happiness and their security, not alone in one section, but everywhere throughout the whole country. North as well as South. Almost every day we read of unlawful outbreaks against them, for which there does not seem to be any adequate power of either prevention or punishment lodged anywhere except only in local authorities, who too frequently are either unable or unwilling to exercise it. If this violence were aimed at only the guilty, it would be a great crime against society and that law and order upon which the safety of our institutions depends, but too frequently it strikes down the innocent and takes on the hideous form of brutal and indiscriminate murder that shocks and deadens the moral sensibilities of the whole Nation. "While it is not clear what the remedy should be, it is clear that many of the remedies that have been suggested will not be tolerated or would not prove availing if they should be. "To talk about eliminating the black man by deporting him to Africa or some other country to be acquired by us for that purpose is the veriest noisence. "No such thing is in human possibility, and it would not be desirable if it were. "The thought of exterminating him is a thousand times worse, and mere talk about it, no matter how idle it may be, is a shocking moral crime. All attempts by lynching or other forms of violence to reduce him to a servile condition will be found; if persisted in, just as odious to the American people of this day as was slavery to the American people of 1861-63. None of these suggestions will answer. Some other remedy must be found, and it must be one consistent with the recognition of his manhood, and with his best rights as a citizen of this Republic The American government is present here to the publicity and defense of the United States and its institutions and policies within and beyond. Government and Republican affairs, he holds in the great work of saving us from this misleading breach in its important to protect the Obama in Cuba, but it is even more important to protect Americans in America. It is as important as the regulation of truth and nakedness and business corporations, on account of which we have been inviting the power of the Federal Government, and with purpose to which power the President has recently announced in public he speaks that they are hampered and blinded by decisions of the courts that he does not hesitate to say are, in his opinion, corrupt, and which should be, therefore, I presume, in some manner covered or avoided to the end that the work he has specially undertaken and for which he has conspicuously labored, may be carried beyond anything he has yet accomplished. "If I understand what decisions are referred to I do not believe they were arrows, and I do not like the viled suggestion that they should be reversed, for I am less afraid of the greed of avarice than I am of the greed of power. I would like to see both restrained when the constitutional limitations our fathers wisely provided. But if such a change should be wrought it may be that under the new constitution thus to be established and promulgated by judicial construction there may be found a way at the same time to more fully protect the life, liberty and political rights of the American citizen, as well as his property and commercial rights. If so, there might be some compensation for the numerous embarrassments and evils that I fear would follow id other respects. But however all this may be, I have an abid commonsense of the American people." "CLANSMAN" PROHIBITED (Continued From First Page.) "It was my privilege to be present at the demonstration of protest last night," began Dr. Taliaferro, "to make a peaceable protest against this play. We called upon our people to gather there so as to make our protest impressive and effective." The Mayor interrupted the speaker at this point by saying: "Would it not have been better to make your protest here?" "We were here about six months ago," answered the speaker. "And I said at that time that you were only attracting greater attention to the play, and I promised you to look into the play and if I found anything objectionable I would stop it. I sent a gentleman to witness the production whose judgment you said would prove satisfactory to you, and he reported that he found nothing of an objectionable character in the play." To this Rev. Dr. Anderson, a venerable Presbyterian minister, replied: "We feel that we are being outraged by this play, and when I say this I speak for the godly and church-going people of our race. We felt that you would not do anything to suppress this play, so we decided that a peaceable demonstration of our people would show you that we are sincere and earnest in our protest against this play. There is nothing on the stage to-day that so creates a bitter hatred against my people and incites the white men to riot as 'The Clansman.' It depicts the loftsome side of our race and proclaims it as the true character of the Negro. It is a base lie, and if for no other reason than this it should be suppressed. Yesterday when I brought the matter before the Presbyterian Ministerial Association those gentlemen agreed with me that 'The Clansman' wrought a severe injury to our race, and the Association at once passed a resolution—a unanimous resolution of 200 ministers—calling upon you to suppress this infamous work." Dr. Anderson spoke with great feeling and emotion, and tears dimmed his eye when he concluded. The impression he left upon his hearers was convincing. Eloquent protests were made by Ex Congressman White, Attorney Minton and others. The Mayor then called on "The Clansman's" manager, who was present, but he could find nothing to say in reply, but stood tongue-tied in his guiltiness. The Mayor then adignified the committee until 3 o'clock when he promised to give his answer. At that time he read then the following decision: "From the evidence that has been brought to me I am convinced that the intention of the play is to intensify the racial hatred that existed between our white and our colored citizens in the Southern States during the reconstitution period and that the tendency of the play is to produce racial hatred. "Inasmuch as the wise administration of the laws has to a very great extent removed racial hatred I am of the opinion that nothing should be done to receive it, but that we should do everything in our power to entirely remove it. "I am under the impression that the agitation in regard to this show was commenced by its agents and that they did it for the purpose of advertising the production. This has been carried on to such an extent that it has aroused our colored citizens to a state of frenzy, and if permitted to go on I believe it would produce a very bitter feeling. "I deem it my duty as Chief Executive to prevent any such act that tends to violence and I therefore forbid the play known as 'The Clanman' to be continued and I instruct the director of the Department of Public Safety to see that there shall be no further performance of the play in this city." Then the committee voted the Mayor a vote of thanks. "The Clansman" will come on to New York, where it has an engagement soon. "Jim Crow" Republican in Utah. SALT LAKE CITY, October 20—In the Republican State convention held this week there was not a single Afro-American delegate. Jury List Annulled Because No Afro-American Were on It. LARAMIE, Wyo., October 16—Owing to the fact that the jury list of the district court here for 1906 contained the names of no Afro-American, Judge Carpenter has annulled the whole list and had a new one prepared. NEWARK, N. J., October 25.—The political pot is surely boiling. The Republicans, Democrats, Socialists, Independents, and Laborists such have tickets in the field. Some time ago it looked as if the opposition of certain disgruntled politicians and the specious arguments advanced by them would operate to the disadvantage of the Republican organization and the possible defeat of Senator Dryden. The personality of the Senator and his long, faithful and valuable services to the party are bringing their reward. All opposition to his election within the ranks of the party has practically ceased. His support of every measure in which the Afro-American people were interested and his frequent, earnest and active efforts in behalf of individual constituents of the race, have secured for him the earnest, loyal and enthusiastic support of the Afro-American voters of Essex county and the State of New Jersey. The manly and determined stand in favor of, Republican regularity taken by such men as Messrs. Fortune, Herbert, Johnson, Scotland, and others of representative character, influence and following, has effectively cleared the atmosphere, and made certain that the vote of the Afro-Americans of Essex county will be cast practically solid for the eleven assemblymen on the regular Republican ticket. Thinking men everywhere of our race are alive to the fact that it would be practically suicidal for us to oppose regular Republican candidates, whose records and character are such as to stamp them as our friends. Such a man is Senator Dryden. In his selection the interests of the Afro-American people will be conserved. THE MUSEUM OF THE ART OF CHINA A vote for the Independent ticket, for the Socialists, or any other ticket, save the regular Republican ticket, is a vote for the Democratic party. No man who is alive to the interests of his race will for a moment even consider thus bartering away his franchise. Next Tuesday evening, October 30, a great Republican mass meeting will be held at the new Auditorium, in Newark, under the auspices of the Colored Citizens' Executive Committee, of the Regular Republican organization of Essex county. Senator Dryden will be one of the principal speakers, and face to face with his constituents will effectually refute the calumnies that have been uttered against blm. Other speakers will be Counselor George A. Douglas, Congressman Parker, State Committeeman R. Henri Herbert and Major Carl Lentz. A phenomenal outpouring is looked for and an overflow meeting is expected. PREACHERS' DECLARE ROOSEVELT HAS CHANGED FOR WORSE Denounce Him for Discrimination Against Race. "The President, in his attitude toward the Negro is no longer the fearless Roosevelt of a short time ago. He can appeal for the Jews, the Cubans and the Filipinos, but for the Negro he has not a word." "The Rev. J. C. Fernanders prefaced thus a speech arranging President Roosevelt for his 'changed attitude toward the Negro,' at the general conference of the Union American M. E. church in session Tuesday at the Metropolitan Union A. M. E. church on Eighty-fifth street, near Second avenue. Other Afro-American divines took for their text the alleged order of President Roosevelt compelling the return to Texas for trial of the Afro-American soldiers of the Twenty-fifth regiment who clashed recently with the white citizens of Brownsville, Texas.

Now in the time to make an offer for Tum Am. We do not doubt that the Atlanta measure has its effect in creating the uprising which resulted in the suppression of Diana's edible play, "The Clanman," in Philadelphia this week. The hollow measure which the white South is taking to keep Afro-Americans permanently down are at last exasperating them, notwithstanding all their reputation for patience and long sufferer, to thoughts of resistance and retaliation. This is particularly true in large northern cities like New York, Philadelphia and Chicago. Who knew, too, that dull fires of recruitment and hate are surrounding in the hearts of the South's black masses, ready to be burned into fearful fames by Southern white cruelty and violence? Being driven ruthlessly to bay, Afro-Americans are learning to think of self-defense and even aggression. This alteration in a peaceful, inoffensive people is tragic. The Philadelphia uprising is only a manifestation of the general fact. The leaders of the 3,000 who gathered at the Walnut street theatre Monday night were prudent and cool. They kept the throng in order and prevented violence. So they were able to carry their point, which was to impress Mayor Waver with the fact that numerous voters were behind him and suddenly impressed is shown by the fact that he reversed two previous decisions of his not to interfere with "The Clansman," and decided to prohibit it. Politics undoubtedly played a part in Mr. Waver's decision. He feared that if he refused their demand, the Afro-American voters would go over in a block to the City Party, where a lot of them are already in. It's not that they would for independence enough in politics to punish with our votes those who desolately fall no. The Afro-Americans of Philadelphia have done well. "The Clansman" is said to be bound for New York city. Why should Mayor McClellan allow it to appear here again? Why? Soldiers Ordered to Be Spies and Informers Perhaps one of the most extraordinary orders ever issued at the instance of a President of the United States was that read to the troops of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, stationed at Fort Reno, that unless they should give up the soldiers who were mixed up in the British Frames some time ago, they would all be discharged from the army of the United States. The troopers are invited by the civil authorities of Texas. We may be that the President has a right in law to issue such an order through the War Department and to execute it, in the event that the soldiers refuse to betray their comrades, if, indeed, they know who are the guilty ones, if guilty there are any; we are not informed on the question of law in the case, but we doubt if there is any such law. However this may be, up to now, accounts, the soldiers were refused to comply with the order, if they are able to do so, which is an open question, the troops had not been discharged discharged. When President Roosevelt made his Southern tour some months ago, on two occasions he laid stress upon the importance of Afro-Americans helping the officers of the law to run down alleged criminals of their race; and now when a case in point has come under his authority he seeks to enforce what should be in every instance the voluntary act of the individual or individuals. may be that the members of the troops may be concerned that they have us information about the identity of their comrades, or if they have that it came to them in the usual course of camp gossip. The theory has gained ground of late that it is the business of the whole Afro-American people to turn out in a given locality and help the officers of the law hunt down alleged criminals about whom they know nothing and with whose criminal acts they have no sort of sympathy. This demand upon the Afro-American people that they should do police duty without warrant in or of law is not made upon any other people in the country, and is engaged in on a large scale by no other people in the country, except the Southern white people, who have by usurpation of the authority and function of the police and the courts in most criminal causes brought the entire stem of criminal procedure into contempt throughout all of the Southeast States. This irresponsible conduct of the citizens, in disregard and disregard of the police and the court, began soon after the War of the Revolution and culminated in the overthrow of the regular State governments and the establishment of a series of corrupt and vicious oligarchies in which a considerable element of the citizenship has no standing whatever in the estimation of the police or in the administration of the courts. Individuals take criminal matters into their hands as often as they please, and the police and the courts rarely interfere with them. They are considered to be a police force and control all unto themselves. And it is clear that the point would be that the pilot may single on the end woman, the whiting of the South have made a failure of growing thiamins as well as the rest of manned and most expended the operations of the police and the courts and rely upon mob law, which is as near government by an amphibious methods as can be put. Now, the demand that Afro-American should follow the paradox example of their white fellowmen and adapt the functions of the police and the courts in the apprehension, if not in the emigration, of alleged criminals, in the very last straw in the position of demonstration needed to be taken. When the Afro-American begins to take the law into their own hands as the white do, then the end of any sort of civil government in the Southern States will have been reached, and chaos will ensue. It is the business of the State authorities of Texas to find out who were the criminals in the Brownsville frances, if they can; but we do not understand that it is the business of the Government of the United States to apprehend them and turn them over to the State of Texas for trial. Courtful under the War Department has been the course pursued in cases of this character, we believe, with white troops, in Texas at one of New York; they should apoint of the State of Texas they should apoint and hand over to civil authorities alleged criminal soldiers, and that if they refused to do it they would be dishouborally discharged from the service of the United States. It is high time that the doctrine, be preached from the honeyset that the police and the courts should be left to protect the life and property of the citizens and to hunt down and convict violators of the law, and that private citizens should be made to attend to their own business. The belief that the mob is superior to the police and the courts is gaining ground all over the country, and will lead to serious consequences at no distant day if a period shall not be put to it. It is to be regretted that President Roosevelt has allowed himself to get drawn into the matter in such wise as to seem to encourage the individual citizen to interfere in the work of the police and the courts. Congressman Olcott If John J. Halligan were ten times popular and had done ten times as much for Afro-Americans as some say he has done, it would yet be their absolute duty to vote against him and for the re-election of Jacob Van Vechten Olcott as Congressman from the 15th Congressional district. The last session of Congress Mr. Hardwick, of Georgia, introduced a bill to repeal the 15th Amendment. Governor Vardaman urges Southern Congressmen to be sure and introduce such bills several times, during every session. A Democratic majority would mean that the repeal of the 15th Amendment would be seriously attempted, for the Southern tailwags the Democratic dog. With a Democratic majority John Sharp Williams would be. Speaker and Southern ex-terprises, who are seated only by the disfranchisement of Afro-American citizens, would in most cases become chairmen of the great committee to draft a bipartisan compromise, no. Afro-American voter can dare to imperil the Republican majority of the House by shetting its reduction by a single man. We must start now to weaken the Democratic party by opposing its candidates everywhere. If Mr. Heartat is New York's next governor, he will have a good chance to be President in 1908. Who can doubt that our rights would weigh a straw with him, whose cold and relentless selfishness, cynicism and unempollinousness are his best-known traits? He would without hesitation barter the 14th and 15th Amendments for a mess of Southern votes in the Electoral College or Congress. Let us scotch the snake while it is yet small. Afro-Americans' Failure to Organize Our article on the failure of the Afro-American people to effect organization during the past twenty years has drawn out a good many newspaper and personal opinions, more or less interesting, but none of which has affected in the least the statement of the case as we have made it. Academic discussion of any proposition is more general with people who fail with those who succeed, because people who fail in any given direction search the stairs for explanations and reasons of it, while those who succeed unnually search themselves. People who are prone to search themselves selenom search their stairs for reasons of their success or failure, for in the main they are philosopphers, apologists of common sense, in large, or small degree. All the discussion which may be bad on this failure of the Afro-American people to the protection of the civil and political rights "in all reasonable and lawful ways and in the creation of healthy public opinion" will not affect in the least the undeniable and distressing fact that they have so failed, and that there are no signs visible to the naked eye or the eye of faith that they are any more ready now to organize than they have been at any time within the past twenty years. The Cleveland Gazette inumites that the failure to organize, to interest the great mass of the people, may possibly be due to the split in the organization which occurred at the St. Paul meeting of the Council four years ago, and to the fact that the Council failed in its prosecution of the Louisiana registration and election laws case. Now, the split amounted to nothing, as far as the question of organization is concerned, as there was no more real organization at that time than there was prior to it, or has been since, or is now, of the National Afro-American League and its logical, continuation the National their own hands, although the occupants may have been more careful and more up to date if a few people who came forward after a year and insist on a new membership and short of an organization, as the membership of each convention day with the convention, except as to the officers. It has been that way from the inception of the organization movement. The few have interested themselves in it, and given of their time and means to keep alive, but the great men of the people, the people who by the nature of the case suffer most and need the wisdom and the strength which wits upon effective organization in their interest, have not been answered in the least, have not responded in any way to efforts to awaken them, and the last effort the writer made three years ago to awaken general enthusiasm and money to promote a civil rights case in the Federal Supreme Court, took in a portion of five States, and resulted in a great outpouring of the people and much enthusiasm, but when the writer got back to New York he found that his actual expenses on the trip, in which Dr. W. H. Steward, of Louisville, was a co-worker for the most part, was fifty dollars greater than the money he received as the proceeds of the lectures and appeals. It was then that he decided that the people were not alive to the necessity of protecting their rights and interests under the law, and would need organizations not furnish the money needed for organization as was had, and be determined to attend to his own business, as the mass and most of the educated men of the race appeared to be doing, including the good editor of The Cleveland Gazette. As to the Louisiana case, the failure to get it before the Supreme Court was due, not to the Council, but to Mr. Roineau and Mr. J. Madison Vance, of New Orleans, who failed to make up the case. Quite some money was spent upon this case, but not a penny of it came out of the pockets of the dear mass of the people; it was contributed by friends of the race, the services of Mr. Pebody, of Boston, who was to present the constitutional argument before the Supreme Court, coming under this head. Splitting hairs over the main contention, that the Afro-American people have failed to organise for the protection of their civil and political rights, in "all reasonable and lawful ways," will not mend matter a little bit; nor will it affect that other contention that this failure has aided greatly to help plunge the state into a horrific condition of civil and political rights which prevails in all of the States of the South, and is slowly taking root in some of the States of the East and the West, Ohio included, where mob law, under certain conditions, has become as fashionable as in Georgia. Liberty and the precious rights of citizenship may be thrust upon a people, but they cannot be kept and enjoined except by the will of the people and intelligent appreciation of which all men may take note and be constrained to respect. Mr. Hearst on the Run Mr. William Randolph Heart, the candidate for Governor of New York on the Independence League, and Democratic tickets, in having all of the fun a fastidious soul could desire out of a campaign into which he interjected at the jump the personal equation. The tables have been neatly turned upon him. If Hewes, his opponent, knew that he could hardly have expected or suspected. Mr. Hearest's long suit has been in denunciation of trusts, all combinations of capital in productive industry, clamoring for laws to protect the laboring people and to give them shorter hours of labor, and of accusations that all sorts and conditions of men who do not think as he does are no good and are not controlled by themselves but by others. Now, Mr. Hughes has convicted Mr. Hearest of having himself and his newspapers incorporated in a sort of trust and that by means of this incorporation he has been able to create the label law and to make it easier for him to look as if he would be convicted of employing Chinese labor on his Western ranching and mining properties, which in the estimation of labor agitators is the worst crime that a capitalist can commit against the precious rights of American labor. Mr. Heast is finding out that in politics there are two sides to every question, and that when wholesale charges of corruption are made against opponents and everybody else not on your side, others can also make charges of bad practices, of stultification, and the like. When a campaign is pitched upon a low standard it is bound to result in demoralizing the voters and corrupting the political sentiment of the people affected by it. It was that way that the campaign was much such that in the campaign for Governor now progressing in New York. That Mr. Heast began the campaign with wholesale denunciation of his opponents and is getting the worst of it serves to emphasize the old saw that chickens will come home to roost. --- It has been discovered by somebody that the white man can stand the climate of the Isthmus of Panama and do construction work on the big canal. It has also been found by someone else that for the Jamaican Islands the white man has discovered that the Afro-Americans of the Gulf and South Atlantic States are also injured to the climatic conditions and character of work in the Canal Zone and canal construction. When so much palm trees have and should be cut out of the insular territories in any capacity whatever is one of those queer things which we have been unable to fathom, although we have studied the matter diligently for a great many years. The truth will come out some day. Our voting in the North and the West should be made to count for more than it has and does. Take the case of Ed Johnson in Chattanooga. Whether innocence or guilt, did his apprehension save him from the mob? Did his subsequent trial, conviction and death sentence by a Southern court save him? Did the order of the mob in the Reno during the ten days covered by the order of that august tribunal? Did that order save him from the mob thirty-six hours after it was given? Did the fact that he was in the iron hands of the sheerif, that he was behind the iron bars of the white man's prison save him? Certain as he was behind the iron bars of the white man's prison, took him from the willing hands of the sheerif, out of a prison which he could not possibly break, and in defiance of the order of the Supreme Court of the United States, and murdered him openly in that city where all men might see the crime commensated and every mother's child who participated in the commission of the most serious outrage against society and civilization itself. Or take the more recent case of that mob in South Carolina, which, catlike, was playing with the Negro suspect whom it was about to murder in defiance of law. He was a governor of the State, whose laws he had sworn to maintain. The accused was in the hands of the mob. He was not in hiding anywhere and eluding his pursuers. He was in their clutches. He might have been burned over to the constituted authorities and swift death at the hands of the white man's laws. Governor Heyward addressed the mob and appealed to the human brutes comprising it to stay their bloody hands and to let justice take its place to him respectfully, and when he had made an end of speaking they proceeded to make an end of the life of their helpless victim, just as if there were no white man's laws and government and jails and gallows to work the white man's will and helpless black man accused of crime. The Southern whites say that the Southern blacks ought to apprehend and deliver up to Southern law the criminals or suspected criminals of their race. But have the Chattanooga white people apprehended or delivered to Southern law a white man who dipped their hands in the blood of that black man last March, who in doing no rode rough shod over the laws of the state of Tennessee or the tribunal of the Republic? The grand jury of Hamilton County found not a single bill against a single one of the hundreds of white murderers of Ed Johnson, in spite of the many promises made to President Roosevelt at the time by the solid white people of the city that if the Nathaniel Johnson of the local authorities would deal with the criminals and bring them to condemn punishment under the laws of Tennessee. The solid, the respectable part of the community instead of allying justice compiled with the members of the mob to institute the Nation's statute to shield the criminals from punishment. And they are still conspiring with the mob by means of their money and legal talents and influence at the bar of the Supreme Court not to punish but to effect the escape of the guilty wretches from Sheriff James Johnson of the citizens of Hamilton County who were notoriously involved in the murder of Ed Johnson in contempt of an order of the Supreme Court. What has happened to the members of the Board of Governors of the Governor Hayward? Has a single one of the building of hospitality of black men whose blood belongs to people and purchased? Is it because the participants in the order of that building are not known? When, then, did the prosecutor? Were all the paths of black men involved in the order of that building? Did he not encounter some being among the crowd, most of white men, whom he known well and knew him well? Talk in shouts, and the slapstick of all talk is the talk of an official who has known the black men, where white men are concerned in the murder of a black man. The mob knows how utterly careful such talk is and therefore can well afford to delay the lynching of a black man in order to listen to the talk of the black men, where white men are concerned in the murder of a black man who commit crimes against, white men, but whose ears not and eyes can not and hands are powerless to lay hold of white men who commit crimes against black men in the flesh. Lynch law rules the South, mohs dominate justice there, not because black men commit crimes, including the nameless one, against white women, but because they are more likely to be measuredly worker than the rule of Lynch law, because mohs may rage and murder with impunity, since the men who compose them are a part of the machinery of Southern courts, of Southern government. They are the millia, the grand juries and the petit juries and public sentiment all rolled into one terrible and irreversible instrument of barbary, anarchy and iniquity. When the straight Lynch law will vanish and so will the awful crime of the mohs, but not until then, Southern opinion to the contrary notwithstanding. ARCHIBALD II. GRIMKE. WASHINGTON AND ATLANTA. Criminality of Charge That He Helped Inseto Riota. From The Washington Bee. From The Washington Bee. The address of Booker T. Washington before the Afro-American Council that met in New York last week was manly and timely. It makes no difference what Mr. Washington's faults have been, or the blunders that he has committed, in it fairness. It makes no difference in demanded or opposed. Certainly he merits some commendation. The Bee has now thrown away any personal feelings it may have had against him, and is willing to give him credit for whatever good he may do. He is doing some good at Tuskegee to believe that he is a friend to his people, and so far as the Atlanta riot is concerned, the had no more to do with it than the editor of The Bee. Why should The Atlanta News or any other paper make such a charge against him? The colored people throughout the country and will not tolerate it is unfair for anyone to charge him with it. Mr. Washington gave some good advice to his people South. It was timely, and it is well that the colored people took that advice. It is well enough for colored men who live a long distance from their home, and they want what they would do. Why don't some of these brave soldiers go South and make their speeches? The Bee has great confidence in the editor of The Atlanta Independent. It believes that he is an brave man as the South can produce, and brave as he is, would it be wise or judicious to advise the body of colored people to commit violence? Must Mr. Washington tell his people to take the torch and burn the houses of the citizens, South? If the saintlars of the colored man could be reached, without doing injury to the innocent, then The Bee would advise the torch and the shotgun. There are thou-selves to be in the house of the friendly to the colored people, and the day will soon come when the civilized people in the South will be on top and the barbarians will be at the bottom. Right Man in Right Place. It was a week ago last Saturday night that the "unkempt men of the streets" and the Atlanta hoodlums started out to hunt Negroes. The hunt lasted over into the Sunday. The following Monday dinner time broke the news in New York. He read the news and packed his grip. Editor Fortune of Turr Ang thought he was preparing to return to Tuskegee. He tried to dismute the principal from doing even that until it would be too late. He will go, let me go with you," he said. Other New York friends added their discussions to Fortune's. Tuesday of last week Booker Washington disappeared from New York. The next night booker telephoned to Editor Fortune. I 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 have to show how he has made the best results for the people. He has retired 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 in which we have been able to be the most unabridged, and the people who have been beyond description. After spending much time last night and all today 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. It seems before such outbreaks will occur in Atlanta. Again, the result is encouraging feature in the present situation consists in the fact that ten of the strongest white men, appointed by a unace meeting, will meet this afternoon with a committee of twenty of the same class of men who are for the purpose of the proposed, to have a frank discussion of the situation, and to bring about harmonious relations and friendly cooperation for the future. I believe all are thoroughly in earnest and good will result. I further believe, in any way, have now seen, that the state and city authorities, in an end of them disdisturbances with an in-law, but in need be. When Booker Washington started for Atlanta, the timid Negroes of that city were feeling from it on every outbound train. Fortune, who has known him intimately, for many years, sized him up correctly as "one of the harsest men that ever lived." A single Booker Washington-ized white man with height white men and Negroes about the things that make for peace and goodwill is worth to his race just now all the Professor Duboisen and Bishop Walteres between the two oceans. In this work, Dr. Schuster has taken up a task which we have long desired to perform by a Negra. The degree of the "migrator," and the "inferior" reason of unskilled is so generally believed by our nation hardly less than by the white man who has been accepted as an anxion. Hence there is little, and nothing to the latter, so the lord paramount of creation arranges to and so himself the choicest place in civilization and destiny. He long as this belief prevails it is an life dream to expect practical equality of life; yet to show that the belief has been in the gigantic task which Dr. Scholus undertakes. The necessity for this ambitions work is comprehensively discussed by the author in his preface. He believes that "the backward movement in its relation to betterment or improvement in history as that of oscillation." Further, according to his representation by history, "the backward movement of the world in arrested and converted into a forward one by certain forces, beacon of religion and of learning, war and revolution are examples." Although he believes in the ultimate triumph of right, he investigates certain present-day tendencies to ascertain whether the movement of the present time is backward or forward . . . propositions which he discusses are not propositions in a greater cordiality prevail (2) that among the self-governing states there exists a widespread desire for peace, which is manifested by the discussions in current literature, in international conferences, in the promotion of arbitration treaties and in the establishment of a permanent arbitration tribunal; and (3) the recognition of the rights of ad clauses in the community than there was formerly. These propositions he shows are fictions, not facts, but that there are certain facts lying behind them, such as the "military ammunition"; the recent Hispano-Americas and the Russo-Japanese wars—no less bloody conflicts than formerly; the dealings of England, Germany and France with the Ottoman Empire on the French Congo and in Madagascar; the government of the Congo by the Belgians, conditions in Russia and in the United States—these show that "the all the classes" is a monumental fiction. These facts illustrate the backward movement. Learning and religion are passive as against war and revolution, because of the lack of truth, which will or later result in a great social upheaval and the ultimate triumph of the right. In the work before us, "Glimpses of the Argos," planned to consist of two volumes, the first of which is published, Dr. Scholes reviews the arguments adduced superiority of the white race and the alleged inferiority of the colored races. The scope of the work may be some what understood by considering the wide range of topics selected by the author. He gives consideration, to the arguments in the following order: The evidence of the interiority of colored races, the variation of race, the nature and time of color, its nature and time of production, and its probable function! The cranial variation among races, the measurement of the cranium and the cranium as a guide to race qualities, the quality of beauty among races, and the rest of the organism as determining the origin of race (18). In these these deals with the moral and philosophical aspects of the question. The prolificacy between white and black, evolution as a criterion of the origin of race, the nature and growth of the moral sense, man's possession of a religious faculty, man's universal belief in God and the nature of his existence, supported by analogy, after which he makes a general summary and conclusion. Chapter 17, a recapitulation of the salient points of his argument, is a mastery by analysis which ends with these six points: (1) the ability to account for the differences in color and feature apparent in the three races Further, I affirm the ability of monogenesis to do so. And, finally, I deny that these exist even after the races physical differences of a race have been accounted for. The remainder of the volume deals with concrete arguments as evidenced in the history of the races and civilization, the facts of which he marshals to produce a comprehensive picture of the order between the colored and the white races. The studies of Toussaint L'Quercure, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington and Edward W. Blylden, Dr. Scholes shows his familiarity with the facts of these foremost men of the Negro races. To say that this book is the most scholarly contribution yet made to the discussion of this question by an English speaking Negro will be admitted by all A word as to the author. Dr. T. E. Samuel Scholer, is a pure Negro, a native of Jamaica, where he was born just fifty years ago. Twenty years ago, after a cruise in the Atlantic and in the Pacific Her Majesty's Service, and two years later, the Queen of England could be found in the Royal College of Surgeons and Physicians at Edinburgh, Scotland, from which he holds degrees, as well as from the University of Brussels. He has three times visited the United States, and was for some years a missionary on the west coast of Africa. At present he is practiced as a surgeon in the United States. The work has received very favorable criticism, and judging from notices in such representative papers as The British Medical Journal, Lloyd's Weekly News, The Standard and the Dundee Advertiser, all of which I have seen, the work must have created a sensation in the life and medical circles of Great Britain. The work should be read by every Negro educator, editor and platform orator and be found in all the leading libraries of the country. It is published by John Long, 13 and 14 Norris street, Haymarket, London, and the price is 12 shillings. Washington, D. C., October 20, 1900 Mr. H. E. DeLisher of Port Antonio, Jamaica, called at Tikr Aoie office Tuesday morning and enrolled as an agent for the paper in his city. An important lesson to remember for President Obama is that "we are not on the ground." From the New York Times There is much difficulty in interpreting the report from Oklahoma in regard to the Niger children whose ally wanted made the report trouble for President Obama. It is in mid-October that the General want to El Niño, and he has taken down up before him and threaten to members with disaffective discharges from the army when they revealed the names of the men who suspected what they considered social abuse by the Niger children in the town. The was data, according to the town, for instructions from the President, and there, chiefly, then the invicibility of the story. It can be easily demonstrated, of course, that it is a soldier's duty to give any information to the men that will need to fire the service from remote positions, and that the soldiers who did not participate in the Brownville riot should promptly answer the question which, it is said, he has put to them. But there is an underlying instinct in human nature to hold this duty an abhorrent one, to see in its purpose and to prefer, in all except especially serious cases, to let the daily constituted authorities do their own defensive work, even though failure to help them occasionally results in the escape of the guilty. The President's own opinion is that the police should be a Police Magistrate the other day that he would have the paternal approval in keeping to himself some knowledge he had as to the identity of a policeman's assistant, an. at it could be proved that the boy's obligation was to the State, and that the police threat was made to the Negro soldier, the suspicion suggests itself that it was done more in search of an excuse for disbanding the battalion than in expectation that the names of the guilty would be given up. At any rate, it is said that the police would have asked the information he asked, from which the deduction is that colored troops have about the same ideas of such a request that white ones would have, and that they were not at all frightened by the menace of dishonorable discharge in circumstances that would make the discharge rather glorious than otherwise.

The Republic is in danger from evil citizenship no less than from armed foe. Evil citizenship - it lies in the violation of law.

If there has been no president for such an action in the case of the murder of a whole battalion an investigation falls to find the guilty party, and the guilty party is not the Regulars were guilty of anything but defending their lives—President Browne his record and used for himself the record and used for himself the friendship of many of the falcaded olored people who believe in law and justice. If he is not able to claim he is not as an square deal, and cite this as an instance. New York city, October 19, 1906. Stand by the Republican Party. Stand by the Republican Party. The atmosphere just now is charged with the dissatisfaction among the colored voters of the country. They are uncertain as to the party they should join. The atmosphere just now is settled this question. When the colored voter looks back twenty-eve or forty years, he realizes that changing from one party to another is not possible to day to day has not fallen in all things even if it has in a few things. Let us are voters he who and look far into the future, the party came President Lincoln; and to-day we have one of the best Presidents that ever lived.

Our purpose to discuss slavery and the slave problem in the South, with appropriate information to our own State of Georgia. No public issue is more deserving of empirical research than would be more fit for our discussion. This audience is qualified in intel and heart to appreciate at its true value every argument that may be advised, and this platform at our best list of hearing is no lifter up, that words of hearing may have be heard in the past, that the "Hills of Mississippi" and over the "Sea Marsh of Georgia." If there be any one present perturbed by a secret doubt as to the propriety of my bringing this subject and this occasion together in this room, I will be in Georgia, in Georgia, at me being so allay his fears with the assurance that I shall carefully scrafa from all offensive personal alliances. Speaking to this very point some weeks before his death, I have been proved of my selection of the race problem for discussion at this time before the abusal of the, university, and be added with characteristic broadnessness: "I wish my platform at Athena to be a place where I can freest expression of bonest thought." At the outset, we should realise that if we are to make any genuine progress toward a right solution of our problem, we must approach it in a spirit of the acquaintance of the truth. The optimist "wailing the soviarian Bay" listens for the dreaded rumblings of the distant mountain—blind to the wondrous beauties of earth and sky about him. The optimist "dwelling doing nothing" listens for the picture of himself an endless panorama of peaceful landscapes—deaf to the thundering cataract at Niagara just below him. But better than pessimism and better than optimism is that pallosophy which faces facts as they are, courageously interprets their meaning. Slavery and Christianity. In the earlier civilizations slavery was the rule, not the exception. But with the advent of the Christ and His teachings, a silent, gentle, yet all-compelling force began its work on the universal heart itself to exist governmental institutions, including slavery. But it incubated so lofty deocrations of love and duty, and created such vivid conceptions of a personal God and Father of us all, that it was only a question of time when Christian people knew the divine love those of their own faith and blood. In England in 1866 the doctrine had obtained wide acceptance that Christian baptism of itself worked a legal manification of the slave. Argument to that lay, Mug urged by able lawyers in the Master, King's Bench in the suit of Charles W. Hewey, him the master of another and that point was not decided. About the same time, however, the colonies of Maryland, Virginia and South Carolina passed laws that Christian baptism should not free the Negro slave, "any opinion or matter to the contrary notwithstanding." Thus we see a recognition of the necessity at this time by arbitrary enactment this expanding sentiment of Christian brotherhood among the masses of the people, so as to prevent it from embracing the alien Negro race. The march of Christian civilization had put an end to white slavery, but Negro slavery still flourished, chiefly because the Negro was of a different race-blood from his masters. Oueness in faith and blood was a characteristic of the white man. But oneness in faith, without oneness in blood, still meant slavery for the Negro. Indeed, Negro slavery as a historical institution in Western civilization occupies a unique position of its own. It began in the fifteenth century when white slavery had practically been abolished, and results of wars. Negro slavery originated in commerce, in trade and barter, and so continued until it was suppressed. Justification of Negro Slavery Based on Race Inferiority. When in later years the institution was summoned before the bar of the world's public opinion, its most logical and profound defenders admitted the wrongfulness of white slavery, but justifi-*Negro* slavery on the plea of the natural inferiority of the Negro race. He then vice-president of the Southern Confederacy, in his famous Corner-Stone Speech at Savannah in March, 1861, said: "Many governments have been founded upon the principle of subordination and serddom of certain classes of the same race. Such were, and are, in violation of the laws of nature, and in violation of nature's laws. With us, all the white race, however high or low, rich or poor, are equal in the eye of the law. Not so with the Negro: subordination is his place." * * * Referring to the Confederacy, he declared: "Its foundations are laid, in corner stone rests upon the laws of nature, equal to the white man, that slavery—subordination to the superior race—is his natural and normal condition." The fact of race inequality here stated cannot well be denied. But there is still a fatal flaw in the logic. That flaw lies in the assumption that the has the right to hold an inferior race in slavery. A race cannot be justly deprived of liberty merely because it is relatively inferior to another. If so, all other branches of the human family could justly be reduced to slavery by the high-caste mastery could only be determined by force of arms. The obligation of the superior to lead and direct does not carry with it the right to enslave. Mr. Stephens further declared in his speech that social fabric is firmly planted, and I cannot permit myself to doubt the ultimate success of the full recognition of this principle throughout the civilized and enlightened world. Here we have one of the ablest intellectual minds on earth only amusing that Margo slavery was legally and morally right, but probing that its recognition would become universal throughout the shifting world—a predation made within five years of its abolition in the United States, and within twenty-even years of its abolition in Brazil, which marked the end of a long war against a legalized institution among civilized peoples. Let me my in pasting, that this Cornerstone speech is not to be found in the authorized volume containing the biography of the author, nor necessarily suppress the question: Did the great commander prefer for paternity to judge him by his other, speech? · Certain it is, that the views he expressed on the subject of heart, or want of sympathy with any suffering creature on earth. At his death, his Negro body servant in tearful accustom pronounced upon him this noble speech, that most men to be follown. But Mr. Stephens was defending the then existing institution of slavery handed down to his people by their fathers, recognized by historical analogies from the Bible, and mandated by the Federal Constitution. His moral nature was unconcerned with the moral nature that moral nature to existing conditions except by making the assumption, which he did make, of the right of a superior race to enslave an inferior race. If race environment could so warp the judgment of a great intellect like that of Alexander Stephens, other men may well be more responsible for Negro slavery in America. It takes two to make a bargain. Northern traders sold and Southern planters bought. If Charleston, South Carolina, was one of the chief ports of destination for slave traders from St. John, Massachusetts was one of the chief ports from whence those ensailed. In the earlier days of the Southern colonies there were many strong protests against Negro slavery. But once established it continued to grow and flourish until we reached those unhappy days shadowed by Mr. Madison, when he said in the constitutional convention of 1787 that the real antagonism would not arise between the slave and the small States on the other, as many seemed to fear, but that "The institution of slavery and its consequences formed the line of discrimination." Slavery the Irritating Cause of the War. No historian can ever truthfully assert that the men who bore the banner of the Confederacy in victory and in defeat with such matchless courage and heroic sacrifice, that they were the purpose of holding their black fellowmen in bondage. They were inspired by the noblest sentiments of patriotism. So far from being traitors to the Constitution, they have been declared was the "most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man." they reverenced that great instrument next to the foot, the foot, the foot, they belt it up as their abelb. They appealed to the North and West to recognise the blinding obligation of that Constitution, as interpreted by the highest court, and hear it denounced at last the agreement with death and an agreement with heL. And yet, we must in candor admit that the truthful historian will write it down that slavery was the particular irritating cause that forced on the conflict of arms between the United States and the lay at the foundation of our sectional differences on centralization and State rights. When Robert Toombs made his memoirs穿透 speech in the United States on March 7, 1904, laid down five propositions, setting forth the contentions of the South; which, if granted, would have averted disunion. Every one of those five propositions was a clear cut, logical deduction from the historical context of the Constitution, and all five of them centered around the institution of slavery. Again, when the conflict was over, and the Constitution was amended at three times, the Thirteenth and Fifteenth, referred exclusively to slavery, and the other, the Fourteenth, referred chiefly to slavery. No other historical facts, though there are many, need to be cited to prove that the Thirteenth and Fifteenth precipitated cause of the Civil War. The Thirteenth Amendment. The Thirteenth Amendment, ratified in 1865, abolishing slavery, was a legitimate and necessary result of the arbitration of the sword. Mr. Lincoln at first declared that the purpose of the war, on the part of the government, was to preserve the Union and not to free the slaves. But the progress of events had rendered the sword an untenable force of social upheaval within that limitation—even if his personal views had undergone no change. Great was the relief to many thoughtful minds in the South when this fruitful cause of sectional contention had been removed. In an address delivered from this platform in 1871, Benjamin H. Hill gave a speech in which he said that Helen had left the crumbling walls of Troy, and that Southern genius, once "bound like Prometheus" to the rock of slavery, had been loosed from its bonds. The Fourteenth Amendment. The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, was a combination of judicial wisdom in the first section of fruitless compulsory punishment, and political prescription in the third section. The first section of this amendment must now be regarded as one of the very best parts of the entire instrument. It gave for the first time an authoritative definition of citizenship, and forade any State to abridge the privileges of such citizens or to deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, or to deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protections of citizenship, three-quarters of a century under a government that had no constitutional or statutory definition of its own citizenship, and with no sufficient juridiction in its courts to give adequate protection to the rights now attaching that citizenship. What constituted one owe's citizen of the United States had long been a subject of discussion in the public journals, in the executive departments and in the courts. The Supreme Court, in the Dred Scott African descent, whether slave or free, was not, and could not be a citizen of a State or of the United States. That decision was, of course, expired by the first section was profound in its wisdom and far reaching in its effect upon the rights of life, liberty and property, not only of blacks but of whites. That embittered the Constitution, and Tuor, referring especially to this section, has well said: "From a purely scientific point of view the Constitution of the United States never reached its logical completion until after the adoption of the Constitution." The omission from the original Constitution of a definition of United States citizenship and of a distinct provision against State encroachment on equal rights inaching thereto, carried with it a Few facts in our history point more unerringly to the conclusion that in the minds of the Yramers of that instrument, the paramount allegiance of the citizen was to his State, and not to the United States. It was this sense of duty which led the Yramers of the Union to surrender their high commissions in the Federal army and cast their fortunes with their own seceding States. Happily, the future holds for us no possibility of the recurrence of that divided allegiance. Historically, under the Constitution, the South was right, both as to slavery and the right to vote. The public opinion on those two subjects had outpainted the Constitution. No man contributed more to the development of public opinion against disunion than did Mr. Webster. When he made his great speech in 1830 in reply to Mr. Hayne, closing with that matchless tribute to the Union flag, the known patriot honored throughout the world, still full high advanced"—he created and vitalized and electrified Union sentiment throughout the length and breadth of the land. That speech, more than the word or deed of any other one man, prepared the way for the coming of Lincoln, and made possible the vast armies of Grant. He was the first place in the Hall of Fame dedicated to Saviors of the Union? The Fifteenth Amendment. The Fifteenth Amendment, ratified in 1872, prohibited the United States or any State, in prescribing suffrage qualifications, from discriminating against citizens of the United States on account of their nationality. It did not confer the ballot upon any one—it only prohibited discrimination on a account of a different difference. The right to vote is not a privilege or attribute of National citizenship under either the Fourteenth or Fifteenth Amendment; the right to vote is not a privilege or attribute in voting on account of race is an attribute of National citizenship under the Fifteenth Amendment. This amendment was at the time of its adoption a doubtful and dangerous experiment—but once made, it is beyond doubt. It embodied a distinct addition to the principle set out in the second section to the Fourteenth Amendment, which latter implicly permitted a State to deny the ballot to the Negro if it were willing to suffer the penalty of a proportionate representation in the lower house of Concernes. So far as the Negro is concerned, the second section of the Fourteenth Amendment was a political compromise against him, while the Fifteenth Amendment was a complete declaration of his equal suffrage. A resolution for a Fourteenth Amendment, in almost the identical words finally used in this second section in 1868, had been up for discussion in the Senate as early as 1869. Charles Summer then denounced it as "a compromise of human rights," and utterly shameful of any in our history." Mr. Blaine, in his book, "Twenty Years in Congress," took the position that the enactment of the Fifteenth Amendment operated as a practical repeal of the second section of the Fourteenth Amendment, and excluded the Fifteenth Amendment. If a State should exclude the Negro from suffrage the next step would be for Congress to exclude the Negro from the basis of apportionment. After the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment, if a State should exclude the Negro from suffrage, the next step would be for Congress to declare the act was unconstitutional and therefore null and void." Some latter-day statemen, who have introduced bills in Congress to reduce Southern representation, do not seem to be aware of the importance of Verily, if the party of Summer should ever abandon the vindication of the Fifteenth Amendment by substituting for it the Sixteenth Amendment, the shade of that eminent stateman would surely be moved to indignation and contempt—if it still concerns itself with mundane political affairs. Such a substitution would be difficult to either whites or blocks of the South. It would work evil and evil only. Some Reasons for Adopting the Fifteenth Amendment. The Fifteenth Amendment was naturally received with much bitterness by the white people of the South, because many of them were notorious and that our political enemies of the North control of the government, intended thereby to doom the South to perpetual Negro domination. No doubt many of such advocates were more prejudiced than the South, in this day, must not blind ourselves to the fact that this amendment was advocated by some men then in public-life who were not controlled by such base motives, but were patriotically activating the South in the execution of government on an enduring basis. Let us not forget that when Congress passed the joint resolution submitting the Fifteenth Amendment to the States for adoption, the Negroes had already been forced to abstain from Fourteenth Amendment, and it was impossible to conjoin that status of citizen- with a total exclusion of the Europeans from the living and working population some of the Southern primitives of our representative Empire. It was in mid-June that, at the time the New York Convention in 1809, the Negro had already survived the right of suffrage under the reconstruction acts of Congress, beginning in 1807. It was not under the Fifteenth Amendment, but under the prior reconstruction acts, that the Negroes our first halftail. To give the Negroes something they had never possessed, but whether to deny them in the future a privilege they had already actually enjoyed. The Southern States were expecting soon to be restored to political autonomy. What stand would the white people of the South do? What would former slaves? To what extremes of pledge and slaughter might not the millions of Negroes go under fear of partial or total re-envelopment? These and other questions were hard to answer. To whatever point of the political horizon the thought of the Negroes was, was, was dark and unconscious, cries was at hand. It had to be met. Giving the ballot to five million of newly-freed slaves of an inferior or backward race, ignorant, unacustomed to, and not have been the deliberate act of what seemed to be but only the choice of what seemed to be the lesser of two eras. In truth, the whole plan seems to have been an effort, not only to obliterate at once, as with a pen, but all distinctions imposed by law, but, law, all most distinctions imposed by nature. Many thoughtful men at the North are now of the opinion, that it would have been far better had the military control of the South withheld for a time, at least, from the freed man, and finally bestowed upon them by degrees. But that is a dead issue now. As a practical measure of procedure, the Fifteenth Amendment was in many respects the most important people of the South, but theoretically it was necessary to round out the Constitution as a representative Republic, based on that equality of citizenship before the law which had already been foreseen in the Fifteenth and Fourteenth Amendments. We may well thank God that the South has recovered from the immediate shock of these rough post-bellion operations in political surgery. In comparison to the past—with its civil war and its reconstruction—the future can hold no terror for us. We cannot act with wisdom and not lose what we have gained through our suffering. Fifteenth Amendment Cannot be Nearcaled The Fifteenth Amendment may, by negative acquiescence of the American people, become for a time a dead letter, but that three-fourths of the forty-five or more States will ever affirmatively repeal it for the purpose of allowing five or six Southern States to withhold from our Negro citizens, as a race, the right to the ballot, is, to my mind, an hallucination too extreme for serious consideration. If these post-bellum amendments of the Constitution bearing upon slavery shall ever be altered by future amendments, the alteration will be in the direction of placing under Federal control the entire subject of suffrage qualifications in all. National and State elections. The unmistakable trend of our political and social development from the beginning of the government has been toward the center, not away from it. The centripetal force has been stronger than the centrifugal force. Under the law of social gravitation all the people have been from the same in-timately: one into one national unity. To suppose that this� this is the authority would of its own accord esmaculate itself and surrender its own present consolidated power back to the former diverse elements from which it was wrestled, would be to reverse every record of political history, and to ignore every lesson of political philosophy. Indeed, when the resolution for the Fifteenth Amendment was under discussion in the Senate in 1892, an amendment to Congress the full power to prescribe the qualifications for voters and officersholding both in the States and in the United States was not adopted because then the time was not ripe. But we may accept it to be as certain as any future movement of this kind can be, that if the Congress of the suffrage that amendment will not restore lost power to the States, but will confer more power on the National government. The less we agitate it the bet Numerical Relation of Bacca. We have now reached the stage in our discussion where we may best consider what is, to my mind, the most important factor in our problem, namely, the numeracy of the Southern States. Having the advantage in land-holding and all other forms of wealth, in intellect, in racial pride and strength, our white supremacy can never be overthrown except by force of force. We could not rid ourselves of the apprehension that at some day in the future we might be borne down by numerical majorities. These fears were not wholly unfounded at that time, but the fostering care, as well as the commercial interest* of the master, the Negroes multiplied in a greater ratio than the whites. What effect would the new social order of freedom have on the Confederacy race of the South face to face with a pitiless force that might gradually but inevitably overwhelm it by sheet weight of numbers? If so, would that race yield, or would it adopt extremes? We were momentous and perturbing questions. The census of 1870, coming first after the war, could give very little basis for deduction of any sort. But when the census figures of 1880 were made known and were compared with those of 1870, it was clear that the situation. Three States, South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana, each had at that time an actual black majority, and the percent, of gain for the Negro in the Southern group of States, as shown by the statistical experts, was far in excess of that of the whites, being 34.3 as against 27.5 per cent. from all sources. Judge Abel W. Tourney, in his book, "An Appeal to Caesar," published in 1884, declared that in the year 1900 every State between Maryland and Texas would have a black majority. Time has exposed the falsity of that prediction. Not one of those States be- Green Bay and Tampa Bay had a relatively low population in 1892 and had in many states a relatively low population, every state having a population from 1890 to 1896 with Negro majority by 2,413, and Louisiana in the same period changed a Negro majority of 740 into a white majority of 1,002. The white majority in the ten distinctively Southern States was increased by 1,002, from 1890 to 1890. In the same period car white majority in Georgia rose from 119,542 to 164,841. In every peculiar conditions prevailed, the margin of safety for white supremacy, even on the basis of numbers, had increased. These predictions of Negro majorities in Georgia were like Judge Tourneur, Professeur Gilliam a statistician of high repute, announced that among the whites of the old slave States the rate of natural decrease from 1890 to 1890 was 20 per cent., while that of the blacks, in the same States was 35 per cent. With these figures as a basis be reached the conclusion that the 6,000,000 of Southern blacks in 1880 would increase to 12,000,000 in 1890. But when the census of the Southern States in 1890 was ordered man, woman and child in the whole United States, the total footed up only 8,383,904, which was 3,616,006 less than the professor had predicted would be found in the Southern States alone. Judge duggee, using these percentages, gave the professor a Griffin argued that all the conditions pointed to a greater discrepancy in the future. But the censes of 1800 shows that the rate of increase of the blacks in the South Atlantic States, where the conditions are more severe, was greater than from 1800 to 1900, instead of 35 per cent, as reported for a previous decade, while that of the whites stood substantially at its previous record of 20 per cent. It is now an accepted fact that the censes of 1800 did not give a complete proportionate increase in the deficiency, by comparison with the more accurate census of 1800; necessarily showed a greater proportionate increase among the Negroes than among the whites. It was this error in figures that led to all these unfounded predictions, for a time hung like a pall over the South. Margin of Safety for White Supremacy Stendily Increasing. But the census figures of 1800 and 1900 supplied the necessary data for a correct comparison. The resulting demonstration is illuminating. South being overwhelmed with a deluge of Negroes, the certainty of continued white supremacy has steadily increased with every decade. The comparative decline of the Negroes in numbers is to be found in the fact that they have no source of supply from immigration, while the whites are receiving constant accessions from other States and from foreign countries. Small and small, small and small at present, will undoubtedly continue and become larger with our growing industrial prosperity, which was never on so firm a foundation as now. The white population will accelerate the development of our resources and give new impetus to white immigration, and thus help vastly in the solution of our problem. A second cause of the comparative decline is the high rate among the Negroes is abnormally high. In typical Southern cities, where the death rate among the whites stands at the moderate figures of 10 to 12 per thousand, it is 25 per thousand, it the Negroes from 20 to 25 per thousand. It has recently been asserted by some supposedly competent authorities that the death rate of the Negroes is now probably in excess of their birth rate, so that an actual numerical decrease has set in, bewildering and certain other diseases. Nature exacts obedience to her laws—she knows neither pity nor revenge. Professor Wilcox of Cornell University and Professor Smith of Tulane University, and others, have undertaken a more far-reaching investigation into the causes of Negro deaths in biological history, and have deduced therefrom the conclusion that "the Negroes will continue to be a steadily smaller proportion of our population," and that in the course of time they will die out in America from inherent and natural causes. It is also clear that Negroes for they are speculations—are well found or not, yet the established facts as to the relative increase of the races have a most important hearing on the solution of our problem. They show that this problem is not near so difficult as it was supposed to be twenty years ago, when problems were predicting white submergence. And more important still, these facts show that the white people of the South, and especially of the State of Georgia, are not the problem on lines of justice to the Negro, without, imperilling white supremacy. Those fears which once appalled us, we may now dismiss, and let reason resume. If future years should develop enough race pride in the Negroes to make them concentrate in one locality, they might gain secondary there and give the world a chance to see the world or incapacity as a race-force in civilization. But we see no clear signs of a movement now, and Georgia, at least, is in no danger of being chosen as an anan for that sort of an experiment. A Working Plan of Justice. In seeking a solution of any difficult problem, the first step should be to eliminate the impossible schemes proposed, and then concentrate on some line of operation that is at least possible. We often ophigrammatic dictum that there are but three possible solutions of our problem, namely, an objection or annihilation. When we bring our sober senses to bear, all three of these so-called possibilities appear to be practical impossibilities. Not one of the three presents a working hypothesis. Physical facts, alone, prevent deportation. Physical facts, stressed by an ineradicable race pride, bar the way against ambition, bravery, bravery, and objection, our civilization our very selves, forbid annihilation. We cannot limit Herod. This much seems clear, beyond doubt, that the whites are going to stay in this Southland, for all time, and so are the Negroes going to stay here in greater or less proportions for generations to come. If, then, both races are to remain together, the plainly sensible thing, for statement of this day to do is to device (Incorporated under the Law of New York State) This Company has an principal object the better handling of the Funds Tenant Client.

Reminds White Men of Their GuitToward Afro-American Women. From a letter to the Atlanta Georgian. I suppose in all this hue and cry of "Lynch 'em!" "Ku-Bu 'em!" the small voice of a discounter will not be heard, or, if heard, will be shouted down as an alienist in the cause of Southern womanhood. This womanhood—I am a woman—is what I would make our protection, not that to suffer as Spartan martyrs, but The first and absolutely essential factor in any working hypothesis at the South, so far as human ken can now force, is white supremacy—supremacy arising from the belief that all human beings based on justice to the Negro. Those whose stock in trade is "hating the nigger" may easily gain some temporary advantage for themselves in our white primaries, where it requires no courage, either physical or moral, to resist. But the nigger back—not even with a paper ballot. But these men will achieve nothing permanent for the good of the State or of the Nation by stirring up race passion and prejudice. Injustice and persecution will not solve any of the problems of the ages. God did not justly proud of our race, we refuse to amalgamate with the Negro. Nevertheless, the Negro is a human being, under the Fatherhood of God, and consequently within the Brotherhood of Man—for those two relations are inseparably connected. All soul possessing creatures must be sons of God, and joint heirs of immortality. Moreover, the Negro is an American citizen, and is protected as such, by guarantees of the Constitution that are as irreprotable, almost as the Bill of Rights itself. Nor, if such a thing as repealing these guarantees were possible, would the Negro be able to mit the oft reiterated proposition that no two races so distinct as the Caucasian and the Negro can live together on terms of perfect equality; yet it is equiv $g$ true that without some access to the ballot, present or prospective, some participation in the government, no inferior race in an elective Republic could long protect it from such discrimination of its substantial forms—and God knows the South wants no more of that curse. We have long passed the crisis of the disease brought on by the existence of slavery in the blood of the Republic. Let us now build up the body politic in health and strength, and guard it against ever again being inoculated with a poison even remotely resembling that deadly virus. Sporadic infections in the several States and have been suppressed. Let us provide against every appearance of contagion. (To be continued) Two Preachers Want "Jim Crow" Schools.

"Ku-Klux em!" the small voice of a dissenter will not be heard, or if heard, he will be shouted down as an alienist in the cause of Southern woman- hood. This womanhood—I am a woman —is what I would make our protection, to suffer as Spartan martyrs, but the course of such things with a nerve that must daint the wild animal lust of a Negro brute. You believe and I know—from experience that I shall relate—that if a woman alone and sees a Negro, she becomes frightened and sees the condition which just his presence and thoughts and purposes and deeds arroused that he would never have had but for certain knowledge of the woman's fear of him. Again, the cry of rape is started by southern woman when there has never been a shade of such, only in a frenzed imagination. Are we a superior race when our womanhood, from whence a nation draws its life, is afraid in the presence of a hero. Then broadcast such fear through the pervers and reap the result. Suppress such fear and that fear induces. Who but has noticed, that the commission of such crime, no matter how horrible the punishment meted the offender, the score that quickly follows? If lynching stops it, lynch; or it doesn't. Deeper than physical fear must the bloathe the wounds of malatufo children swarming the walls the towns and even the country, and say how far is the white man responsible for conditions. If he stoops to the black man's woman, what then when the black man surrenders to lift laffful eyes to the walls to the white man responsible for conditions. Can the Anglo-Saxon exterminate the children of his own blood, half-breed though they be? "Let him who is without a blemish cast the first stone." Accomplished by willing intercourse on the white man's part—brute force by the Nile—the result is the same, outraged nature and degradation of our Southern blood. Then if riot, bloodshed and extermination must come, in the name of justice, let it be by men who are fit guardians of the South's honor. I intended to relate a bit of my own experience that have expressed myself at considerable length, must omit it, as possibly it would benefit me. Yours for the South's honor and justice. VARA A.

In 1880 he was married to Miss Grace Chamber in All Saints' cathedral at Albany by Bishop Doane of that diocese, but has since lived in this city. His home was happy and the center of an unostentatious but generous hospitality. He leaves a widow and several nieces and a nephew to mourn his untimely taking off. He was a member of St. Philip's P. E. church, from which his brother occurred on Saturday, October 13, 1900, and was largely included. The palbridge was Messrs. E. V. C. Eato, Thomas Dyer, Anthony McCarthy, John Massey, Richard Johnson, Charles E. Scott and William Oscar Payne. He was also a member of the Southern Beneficial League. Henry F. Seabrook. On Saturday, September 29, in the twenty-ninth year of his age, Henry T. Seabrok died at his late home, 328 West 33d street, after a short illness.

E. church Tuesday evening, October 2d, and were very impressive. The sermon was preached by Her. W. H. Brooke. The interment took place in the following Evergreen cemetery: C.

VAST WORK DONE $11,800 Raised and Membership Nearly a Thousand SUNDAYSCHOOLREFORM Services celebrating the forty-third anniversary of the passrate of the Rev. William T. Dixon, D. D., of the Concord Baptist church of Christ in Brooklyn, began last Friday night at the regular weekly prayer meeting and concluded before a large audience Sunday night. At the Sunday morning services Pastor Dixon preached a special sermon. Rev. James H. Gordon, superintendent of the Brooklyn Howard Colored Orphanage, led a service of added emphasis during the pastor for the wisdom displayed during his pastorate of Concord for forty-three years. The Sunday school assembled in goodly numbers at 2:30 in the afternoon and had one of the most helpful sessions since rally day. The Christian Endeavor Society has introduced a new feature for their exercises on the third Sunday in the month by giving a sacred concert. The exercises Sunday night began at 0 o'clock, the program being in charge of Miss Irene Henry, the music committee. Among those who took part were Miss Augusta Accope, Mr. J. Thomas Tarner, ex-superintendent of Bridge street A. M. E. Sunday school; Prof. J. F. R. Wilson, Messrs W. E. Tyler and E. L. Faulcon, Miss Irene Henry, Mr. Andrew J. Van Keen and Miss Edna Springs. At the conclusion of the program Miss Irene Henry, the Endeavor, presented Dr. Dixon with a bouquet of forty-three roses. At 7:35 Dr. Dixon, followed by the deacon, accorded the pulpit to preschew his 43d annual sermon and make his report. The board of trustees, Sunday school superintendent and church clerk occupied seats upon the lower platforms and the pastor's reception committee. Forget-me-not Floral Club and deaconesses occupied the front seats in the center. Pastor Dixon selected his text from the Gospel by John, 5:41. "I receive not honor from men." Referring to his early ministry, Dr. Dixon said that he has always endeavored to give the people the truth, honor or no honor. "Old Canton street," said he, "is the battle ground of the stormy days of my ministry, when few loved the courses of Bison and my life was threatened for preaching the truth: but those days have passed and we now enjoy more fully our religious life." Dr. Dixon's annual report showed that from October 15, 1903, to October 21, 1906, there were received into the church by baptism 15, 1905; by restoration 1; by dismised by letter 22; by death 23; male members 22; total membership 985. Commenting on the work of the Sunday school, he verily believed, was of divine direction, and that he rejoiced to see this advanced step in Sunday school work when children are promoted from one department C. J. Crowder. to the other and do not stay in one class from childhood to old age going over the same thing. The school has fifty three officers and teachers, 37 classes and 582 scholars. Of this number 0 were received into the church during the year by baptism. There are in church and five engaged in teaching. The collections amount to $600.01. Dr. Dixon the year has married 55 couples, preached 122 sermons, made 16 addresses, 281 visits, prayed for 13 children, attended 53 extra meetings, visited 508 sick and preached 96 funerals. His libors out of town have been in 53 places, such as Philadelphia, Pa.; Boston, Mass.; New York; St. Louis; L. I.; Norwich, Conn.; Newark, Orange and Jersey City, N. J., and before the Supreme Court. Speaking of ex Secretary Charles H. Bullock of the Carleton avenue Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, he said that Mr. Bullock's departure from our city was deeply regretted, as he was a young man of exceptional qualities for Y. M. C. A. work, but his counterpart is found in our present secretary, R. P. Hamlin. The work of the Northern Federation of "Women's Clubs, the leadermen," Mrs. Alice W. Wiley, was extended also by institutions: Mothers' Day Nursery, Lincoln Free Kindergarten, Brooklyn Howard Colord Orphan Anamay, Y. M. C. A. and W. Y. C. A. The pastor's relief committee received AT CONCORD BAPTIST CHURCH [Image of a silhouette of a person] DR. W. T. DIXON, D. D. untinted praise for the many favors bestowed upon him, Mr. Charles J. Crowder is president of the committee and has the best interest of all departments of the church at heart. As a member of the trustee board Mr. Crowder's work merits the highest approval for the business features which he has introduced. This committee, which has for its main object the care of the pastor's personal needs in his ministerial work, was first proposed by Mrs. Mary J. Zeno, who communicated her plans to Mr. Charles J. Crowder and others, who agreed with her, and the result was the formation of the present organization. Their gift to Dr. Dixon Sunday night was a purse of $40, which was presented to Mrs. Crowder. Mrs. Fannie E. Lawrence, behead of the Easter Bell Club, of which she is president, presented to the pastor a bouquet of 43 roses, as did also the Forget-me-not Floral Club. In making the financial report the pastor gave great credit to the board of trustees for the careful and correct accounting of the money contributed. Mr. Graham II. Carter is secretary of the board of trustees, and his work in that capacity for upwards of 23 years has been of the most praiseworthy character. He is exact in his figures and renders monthly and yearly reports to the church. The annual report is printed and distributed among the members of the church and congregation, so that each member may see where the money goes. From all sources have been over $11,840. The pastor received from the church and reception committee Sunday night in cash $83, besides other favors. N. BARNEIT DOPSON At the 58th session of the R. W. G.
