New York Age

One of the most popular men in New York politics, with both white and Afro-American voters, and one of the most important and auspicious members of the House of Representatives, is Congressman William S. Bennett of the 17th Congressional district. He is now up for re-election and should by all means be returned. His record in the House on the race question is particularly fine. He, in spite of "Uncle Joe" Cannon's orders against "imping the bloody flag," introduced a bill for the reduction of Southern representation, and vigorously defended it. He, all one of the faithful who endured also roll calls and a whole day's flibustering by John Sharp Williams in order to do justice to the heirs of Samuel Lee, the late Afro-American Congressman from South Carolina. He was also active in supporting Aaron P. Prioleau's contest for a seat in the 58th Congress. Prioleau, of course, is a South Carolina Afro-American. During the session he was almost constantly in attendance. He voted for the Pure Food, Meat Inspection, Denaturized Alcohol, Employer's Liability, Lock-Level Criminal and Consular Reform Bills, and various important measures affecting the District of Columbia, as well as the Philadelphia and Statewide Bills. He was one of the sub-committee which drafted and bad charge of in the House the Uniform Naturalisation Bill, which became a law. He led the opposition to the hasty and ill-considered provisions of the Gardner Immigration Bill.' As leader of the opposition, Speaker Cannon appointed him a member of the committee of conference of the Senate and House. He took charge in the Fifty-ninth Congress of the claim of the State of New York against the United States for $115,000 due since 1812. The State has now received the money in full and without the payment of a dollar of expense, although Attorney-General Mayer's predecessor had connected to pay ten per cent. to an attorney doing what the present Attorney-General and the Representatives in our have properly done for nothing, led a movement to so amend the Food Bill that it would not intermittently the inspection of the milk supply New York at the ferries, and for received the thanks of the Health missioner, together with his colleagues, Represerves Parsons and Olcott, he secured propriation for twenty one miles of static postal tubes for New York contracts for which have been let, he work is progressing. In connection with the same gentlemen, Postmaster ox and Postmaster-General Cortalee worked a year to secure a proper office building at the Penna. R.

He personally took arrives of the effort which resulted in the Customs Service receiving education of two weeks with pay, and privilege of two weeks' pay when nec- rally absent through illness. These cessions had been sought by the labor- for over twenty-five years. He also is a prominent part both in debates on floor of the House and in confer- ence in the movement for postal reform all kinds, and especially for the clas- sion of the postal clerka and the inuse of salary for postal letter carriers. He was called upon several times to side over the House in Committee of Whole. Speaker Cannon also ap- tended him a member of the joint com- petech to attend the Franklin Bi-Cen- tent Philadelphia. He was one of the of the ninety-odd new Represen- ta-tion to be appointed on a conference ittee. TURNS NELSON DOWN AND SIGNS WITH HERMAN high Fight, Winner to Take 65 Per Cent.

A protest against the ruling has been received from the Massachusetts Press Association, and new Chairman Knapp replies: "A contrary rule would involve ordinarily some degree of discrimination in favor of those permitted to exchange their commodities for transportation. The right to travel or have property carried by rail is not a contract right but a political right, the very essence of which is equality. It is not easy for me to see how an honest newspaper can seriously object to the ruling." Suy Editor Is Already Catering for South's Father. The Negro Independent League, composed of Afro-Americans who have been followers of W. R. Heart, is sending out a pamphlet calling upon the voters of the race to vote for Charles E. Hughes. The pamphlet describes in detail how Capt Harvey A. Thompson, who was with the Municipal Ownership League movement last year and was chosen to form a Colored Independence League, was subjected to humiliation at the hands of Mr. Heart and of his campaign managers. It is asserted that a Southern Congressman told Mr. Heart that if he encouraged the Afro-American vote in this election he would jeopardise his chances of Southern support in his prospective Presidential canvass. WILL, MAKE GOOD CITIZENS IF GIVEN THE CHANCE Bishop Walden's Becoming Words on Race Problem. CINCINNATI, Ohio, October 22.—The race problem furnished a sensation for the Methodist ministers of this section at their weekly meeting to-day. As a result, President Roosevelt may be asked by the Cincinnati Methodist Episcopal Ministers' Association to give his attention to an address delivered by Bishop John M. Wadden. In the course of his address, Bishop Walden said: "This country will not fulfil its objects until the Nation comes to consider its relation with the Negro as that of a guardian to a ward. This problem is not a problem of the North alone, nor of the South alone; it is a problem for the Nation. This Nation, which is so rich and powerful, must solve the race question itself. During the days before the war the idea that the Negro was to have when freed his 40 acres of land from the Government, was freely circulated. But when the freedom came no 40 acres came with it. "The colored man has been charged with laziness. The Northern traveler who goes South and comes home is filled with stories of the lazy colored man he saw about the streets of Southern cities. I tell you he saw but few. The colored man will make a good business man and a good citizen if we only give him the chance, but the problem is with us, individually, with the Methodist Episcopal church, collectively, and with the great United States Government in a paternal sense." DR. MOORE AT OBERLIN TELLS OF RACE'S PROGRESS Adaptability Makes Survival in America Possible. ONKRLIN, October 24.—The session today of the sixtieth annual meeting of the American Missionary Association was opened with devotional exercises, led by Professor E. I. Bosworth, D. D., of Ohio, the subject being "The Kingdom Come." "What the Negro has done for himself," was the theme of Dr. Lewis B. Moore, dean of the Teacher's College, Howard University, Washington, D. C. He said in part: "The Negro has lived and increased his population far beyond the expectation of friend and foe. Every other people have gone down before the white man, either because of weaknesses in themselves or the domineering spirit of the Aryan; but the Negro has shown himself capable of living with the white men wherever he lives and of learning from him the arts of civilization. "It was confidently predicted that after slavery the Negro would die out, that he would not work, that socially and domestically he could never become a part of the body politic, but while men were debating whether he could or would meet the changed conditions of freedom, he has transformed himself from a chatter to a free man, and not alone in agricultural pursuits, but in every phase of mechanical industries he is showing himself adaptable to new conditions, and taking his place in the pursuit of varied occupations." SAYS HIGH OFFICIAL LIVES WITH AFRO-AMERICAN WOMAN Mobile City Council Will Investigate Preacher's Charge. Monile, October 24.—The Rev. Dr. W. J. E. Cox, in a sermon, accused a prominent city official of living with an Afro-American woman and acknowledging her as his wife. He denounced Mayor Lyons and the City Council for permitting it. The Rev. Cox mentioned no name, but the City Council to-night appointed a committee to investigate, and if the charges are found true, the official will be dislammed without a hearing. Dr. Cox is a fearless reformer, who some time ago fought the gambling houses in Mobile until they closed up. DR. JOHNSON NOW LEADER Campaign for Decency Spreads Like Wildfire Through Whole District At this most critical period—when the Republican managers cannot afford to hazard a single vote in their attempt to repel Heast's audacious raid upon the Governorship—when election is only five days away—it is most unfortunate that no sensible attempt is being made to quiet the dissention which has split the Afro-American organization of the Ninth Assembly. District wide open. On the one side are marshalled all but one of the elected officers of the organization, with almost the whole public sentiment of the Afro-Americans in the district ranged behind them. On the other is George M. Keith, almost deserted by Afro-Americans, but strongly supported by the white organisation, to which his pliability, timidity and unwillingness to make any demands for his own people have greatly endearced him. It is said that President Parsons has ordered Leader Windolph to settle the trouble this week. The decent majority, who are fighting Keith for good reasons, are determined that the trouble cannot be appeased except by Windolph's throwing Keith overboard and recognizing Dr. P. A. Johnson as the Afro-American leader of the district. The anti-Keith faction has opened comfortable headquarters at 310 West 95th street, where the enrollment of voters goes on every night. In two or three days upwards of 500 names have been secured, all pledged to oppose Keith. It is most encouraging to the men who have fought the fight for decency to see how their propaganda is spreading like wildfire through the district. The eagerness with which the rank and file are welcoming the cry of "Decency Against Graft" is surprising to many white politicians who, judging from the barroom Afro-Americans they are used to meeting, thought all the Afro-American voters in the district were afflicted with the litching palm. The executive committee of the Regular Colored Republican organization, held a splendid meeting last Friday night and unanimously elected as their Leader Dr. P. A. Johnson, one of the best known Afro-Americans in the State. Dr. Johnson is known everywhere for his integrity, independence and ability, and the men who elected him are proud to feel that they have by this net squarely aligned themselves on the side of decency and honesty in politics, of which Hon. Herbert Parsons, Hon. Charles E. Hughes and President Roosevelt are the leading champions. Dr. Johnson, being a professional man and making his own living, cannot be controlled by the usual means which white politicians depend upon to control Afro-American voters. The whole district has been circularized in his behalf, and the uprising for him against Keith is universal and spontaneous. Dr. Johnson is no stranger to politics. In 1884 he had the honor of being the first Afro-American regular delegate ever elected from New York city to a State Republican convention. At this convention he achieved the unusual and remarkable feat of having an amendment attached to a resolution introduced by his own leader, Cornelius M. Bliss. The amendment gave New York State its first Afro-American elector in the National Electoral College. Dr. Johnson had the distinction of having his amendment seconded by Hon. Theodore Roosevelt. Dr. Johnson stands very high in the medical profession. He is a member of the County Medical Society, vice-president for New York State and chairman of the executive committee of the National Medical Association and president of the Medico Chirurgical Society of New York city. Mr. McLaren denies that he butted in to keep Mr. Lightbourne from speaking. The executive committee named candidates Friday night as follows: 3d election district, George Brooks; 10th, George W. Mills; 12th, Ed. D. Allen; 13th, Wm. T. Hooper; 13th, N. W. Jefferson; 17th, Oscar Jackson; 18th, L. A. Fleming; 19th, E. S. Flow; 21st, Robert Loe; 22d, Robert Mason; 23d, Ed. J. Freeze; 24th, Wm. E. Washington; and 26th, Joseph Sykler. Indian Territory Afro-American Talk of Own State Ticket. CHICKASHA, I. T., October 25.—The Afro-American of this city have nominated the Rev. J. F. Kersh, an Afro-American, as a candidate for delegate to the constitutional convention. The Afro-American of this district have refused to support the Republican candidate because of the clause in the platform favoring "Jim Crow" cases. They have established a paper of their own, and in a recent issue not only advocated an Afro-American candidate for delegate to the constitutional convention, but a complete Afro-American ticket in the State election. The AfroAmerican vote here is heavy. Killed in Atlantic City Wreck ATLANTIC CITY, October 30. The following Afro-Americans were killed in the wreck near here on last Sunday caused by the plunging of three cars of a Pennsylvania electric train into twenty feet of water: P. Sinclair Harris, aged 15, Philadelphia; Clifford Harris, his brother; and George Turner, aged 22, Atlantic City. Bournard October 28—The feature of the largest political party ever held by Boston Afro-Americanism was the appearance for the first time of Hen. Charles W. Anderson of New York upon a platform in Boston. He is usual held up his end, making one of the best political speeches heard for a long time in this city. His audience contained a large sprinkling of whites, and the orator at all times swept them with him. Governor Curie Guild, Jr., made a most eloquent speech, in the course of which he said: "Last year, under Gov. Douglas, the commonwealth of Massachusetts pledged itself to take part in the Jamestown exposition. If the opposition of the man who has started a campaign of abuse against me in that confection were based on principle rather than personal antagonism, the public protest would have been made during the administration of Gov. Douglas when the late Fitchhugo Lee addressed the Massachusetts legislature in the last public address of his life. "I cannot change the laws of Virginia, much as I may disapprove of them, but I have satisfied myself that the management of that exposition will keep their word as to a square deal to all citizens on the grounds of that exposition, and you may be sure that the Massachusetts commission will see to it that the Massachusetts reservation in Virginia shall be to all American citizens as the soil of Massachusetts herself. Should it fail to do so, then it will be the duty of the governor of the commonwealth to act. "I have steadily stood for equal rights ever since I became a voter. I have tried to see to it that no discrimination should prevail in Massachusetts." During the address of Senator Lane, who is a candidate for Congress in the Eleventh district, he said that he would if elected to Congress stand up for the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution and would fight "Jim Crow" cars and the inquisitious disfranchisement schemes of the South. Among those present were: Dr. and Mrs. Courtney, J. H. and Mrs. Lewis, J. Harry Lewis, Assistant Postmaster Dupree, Mr. Edward Glover and T. H. Lacompe. Hon. Charles W. M. Williams, clerk of the Juvenile Court, presided. WETMORE COMBATS CHARGE OF POLITICAL CORRUPTION IN SOUTH Dr. Schleifellin's Error as to Cause of Disfranchisement. A spirited meeting under the auspices of the Committee for Improving the Condition of the Negro in New York City was held last Thursday night at St. Mark's church. Ex-Police Commissioner McAdoo did not appear, as advertised. Mr. J. Douglas Wetmore, an invited speaker, said that he heartily approved the work of the committee, as he believed in industrial education as well as higher. He said that he also hoped the committee's work would open up avenues of employment for many young Afro-American men and girls from the South, as their examples here as employees of Northern white people would teach the latter the utter falsity of the opinions many of them have accepted far too confidingly from Southern white men and papers and the Associated Press. Then, said Mr. Wetmore, after the Southerners' landers have thus been discredited in the eyes of the Northern whites, the latter may wake up vividly to the wrong of disfranchisement and "Jim Crowism." Dr. William J. Schieffelin replied that he said dito to everything Mr. Wetmots uttered except one: that he differed with him to the extent of believing Southern-ers to be on the whole friendly to Afro-Americans. He then made the astounding statement that the Afro-Americans were disfranchised in order to purify politics in the South, as they were in the habit of selling their votes by the wholesale. He furthermore stated that there would be no race problem if Southern white men would be satisfied that the educated Afro-Americans' secret and ultimate aim is not intermarriage and amalgamation—an abomination in the Southern white man's eyes. "Does the Southern white man practice what he preaches?" was the staggering inquiry of someone in the audience. Mr. Wetmore made an eloquent reply to Dr. Schieffelin, defending the race against the charge of universal sexuality during Reconstruction. It was very plain that the audience was with Mr. Wetmore, and it is seared Dr. Schieffelin did not enhance the popularity of his committee by the positions he took. "BLACK TERROR" PROMINENT LABORITE IN NORTHWEST Got Workers' Convention to Denounce Atlanta Massacre. Mary W. Winnemann, Cynthia L. Robert T. Sims, an Afro-American living here, is one of the best-known members of the Social Labor party in this section. He was a prominent delegate at the recent convention of Industrial Workers of the World at Chicago. In conjunction with an Irish miner he introduced a resolution denouncing the Atlanta massacre and got it unanimously passed. Sims is known among his comrades as the "Black Terror." STEWART ACCLIMED AS "BEVERIDGE OF HIS RACE" "Cincinnati Enquirer", Praise Him—Homeward Bound. CHICAGO, October 30—Mr. Gilchrist Stewart of New York has left here for home to close the campaign in his district. He has made a most successful campaign through West Virginia, Ohio and Illinois. Concerning him The Cincinnati Enquirer said: "He is the most eloquent and forceful colored orator who has spoken in Cincinnati. His speech in Congressman Longworth's behalf stamps him as the Beveridge of his race." Hon. Jacob Van Vechten Olcott, the Republican candidate for Congress in the 15th Congressional District, has been making a whirlwind campaign among the Afro-Americans in his district. During the past two weeks he has spoken at least five times a day and is constantly making votes. He has successfully shown to his audiences that "Equality before the Law can be obtained only with the aid of Republicans. In Congress. A great man Democratic Afro-Americans have promised him their support on election day at the result of his convincing arguments. In all of his speeches he has warned Afro-Americans not to be fooled by the loos and frantic talk of his opponent. There is not the slightest chance of Mr. Halligan doing anything for the race in Congress without the aid of Republicans he should by any chance be elected. We print here in detail the history of the bill passed after a great struggle law Spring in the House of Representative granting relief to the family of one of our race who was elected to the 47th Congress. The story is true, having been taken from the Congressional Record. Read it carefully and then do not let us forget our duty. Tactics of John Sharp Williams to Defeat Lee Bill. In the first session of the 69th Congress Mr. Brownlow, of Tennessee, introduced a bill (H. R. 850) making an appropriation to pay "to the legal representatives of the estate of Samuel Lee, deceased, to wit, Samuel Lee, Anna Lee, Andrews, Clarence Lee, Robert Lee, Harry A. Lee, and Phillip Lee, heirs at law, $10,482 for any claim for pay and a howances made by reason of the election of said Lee to the 47th Congress, and his services therein." Samuel Lee, an Afro-American, was elected a member of the 47th Congress from the State of South Carolina. His right to a seat was contested, but finally established; but he died before he was sworn in. Bills were introduced in every Congress since the 47th for the relief of his family and for his salary, but not until the present Congress was the bill seriously considered. On May 18, 1900, when the bill was reported from the Committee on Claims was up for consideration in the Committee of the whole House on the States of the Union, Mr. Hartlett (Dem.) of Georgia, moved that the bill be reported to the House with a recommendation that it be indefinitely postponed. After a vote the motion was defeated. Mr. Williams (Dem.) of Mississippi, then moved that the bill be reported to the House with the recommendation that it be committed to the Committee on Claims. This motion was also defeated. Mr. Miller (Rep.) of Kansas, then moved to lay the bill aside to be reported to the House with a favorable recommendation. The motion was carried, after which the committee rose and reported to the House that the bill with the recommendation before referred to was before it for consideration. New York Democrat Obey Williams. Immediately John Sharp Williams jumped up in his seat and moved that the House adjourn. The Speaker announced after a vote that the motion to adjourn was not carried. Williams then demanded a roll call, which took forty minutes, and again the motion to adjourn was rejected. The record shows that the Democrats voted with Williams on the motion to adjourn, including the members from New York, Messrs. Fitzgerald, Goldfogle and Goulden. Representative Olcott voted with the Republicans to defeat Williams' motion. Then began Williams' filibustering and dilatory tactics. He asked the Speaker how his vote stood and when informed stated that he wished to change his vote. Other Democratic members followed, changing their votes, making all sorts of inquiries as to the record of the vote, all for the purpose of delay. Mr. Miller of Kansas then wrote and said: "Mr. Speaker, I move the previous question on the bill H. R. $50 and the amendments to its final passage." Williams again arrose: MR. WILLIAMS:—Mr. Speaker, on that bill I desire to raise the question of consideration. MR. GEOSVENER (Rep.):—To that I make a point of order. THE SPEAKER:—The Chair sustains the point of order. MR. WILLIAMS:—Upon what ground does the Chair sustain the point of order? THE SPEAKER:—On the ground that it is evidently dilatory. MR. KAHN (Rep.):—Mr. Speaker, I demand the yea and nays. The yea and nays were ordered. The question was taken, and there were—years 135, nays 63, Olcott voting yea with the Republics and the Democrats with Fitzgerald, Goldfogle and Goulden of New York again following Williams. This roll call and the usual changing of votes, took up another hour of time, the Democrats at times sparring for delay, which they knew was dangerous to the passage of the bill. Then followed: The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a grayscale photograph with a torn edge, possibly from a damaged document or a screen display. The text is not clearly visible due to the distortion. JACOB VAN VECHTEN OLCOTE THE SPEAKER:—The question now is on the amendment. MR. WILLIAMS:—One moment, Mr. Speaker: is the Chair about to put the amendments in gross? I want a separate vote on each amendment. This was the occasion for more delay. MR. GOLDCOOLE:—Mr. Speaker, I want to ask the chairman of the committee whether the present names in the amendment— THE SPEAKER (interrupting) —The gentleman from New York is not in order MR. GOLDFOGLE:—I ask unanimous consent that I be permitted to ask the chairman of the committee. MR. PAYNE (Rep.):—Regular order, Mr. Speaker. THE SPEAKER:—The question is on agreeing to the amendment. The question was taken, and the Speaker announced that the ayes seemed to have it. Again the Democratic leader demanded a roll call, which he knew would avail nothing except delay. After another hour the Speaker announced that the vote was yeas 119, and nays 40. Olcott again answered yea to his name and again the Democrats from New York stood by Williams. The Congressional Record also shows that on the question of advancing the bill to the third reading and of having it engrossed, Williams again used all possible tactics looking to the defeat of the bill, but on the vote he and the other Democrats were defeated after another roll call, Mr. Olcott voting with the Republicans and the New York Democratic Congressmen with Williams. On demand of Williams and for the purpose of further delay, the bill as engrossed was read, although this was unnecessary. Then Williams, when the bill was finally in shape for passage and seeing defeat staring him in the face, moved to adjourn. THE SPEAKER:—The Chair is of the opinion that the motion is dilatory. The question is on the passage of the bill. DETERMINATION OF THE REPUBLICANS. The vote on the bill was then taken and Williams was again defended by the Republican members, with Mr. Olcott again in his seat. Williams then demanded a roll call and the vote stood year 124, nays 40, "Present", 29, "Not Voting" 189. Olcott was included in the 124 years and the Democratic members from New York again voted nay with Williams. Williams' next move was a demand for a division on the amendment of the title of the bill. He was again defended by Olcott and the other Republicans, but he raised the question of no quorum. The Speaker then ordered the doors locked and directed the sergeant-at-arms to bring in absentees and while the sergeant-at-arms was thus engaged, Williams again moved to adjourn, but the Speaker ordered the roll called, with this result: Yeas 120, nays 35, "Present" 20, "Not Voting" 189. Olcott voted again with the year and the New York Democrats with the nays by direction of their leader, John Sharp Williams. Williams then moved to adjourn, but was defeated. Up to this time the sergeant-at-arms was unable to bring in a sufficient number of absentees to make a quorum, but the Republicans stood out against Williams on the motion to adjourn until a further effort had been made. The Bill Passed. At a quarter past 6 o'clock the Speaker announced that the House was 8 short of a quorum. A little later the House was but 4 short of a quorum. Williams again moved to adjourn, but was again defeated. Abstactly before 7 o'clock a quorum was secured and the bill was passed. Mr. Ol The Bill Passed. cott voting for its passage with the Republicans, and Williams and his associates voting against it. The House adjourned at two minute past 7 after having passed the bill. Williams Benoist All the Democrats. This is but one of the many instances where John Sharp Williams led the Democrats in the House against legislation tending to the benefit of the Afro-American people. The Congressional Recorder also shows the New York Democrats in the House standing by their leader, and it will be left to the reader to judge for himself whether Mr. John J. Halligan, in elected to Congress, would not also have to vote with his leader, John Sharp Williams, on all questioning concerning the Afro-American. The Democrats would certainly stand together, and we all know that we can expect no help from that party in Congress. Representative Olcott stood by us or the Lee bill and therefore deserves our support. Should we take chances, electing Halligan to Congress and add one more arrow to John Sharp Williams' bew? Or should we ask Mr. Olcott by our vote to continue the good work in the 60th Congress which he so successfully began in the last Congress? Priolcau's Strong Endorsement. In our last issue we printed in full the letter of Hon. Aaron P. Priolcau strongly urging the Afro-Americans in the 15th Congressional District to vote for Mr. Olcott. The letter is a just demand upon all of us to use our best endeavors to elect a man who did everything in his power to help our race, and it is of such great importance that we print it again so that it may reach those of us who for some reason or other have not had the opportunity of reading it. A man who will do these things for one of our persecuted Southern brothren can surely be depended upon to do credit to his own constituents. Prioleau's Open Letter. Fellow Citizens: Please allow me to commend you for electing and sending such an able, loyal and patriotic Republican representative as Honorable J. Van Vechten Olcott to Congress. During my contest for a seat in the 59th Congress from the First Congressional District of the State of South Carolina I met this gentleman through the Rev. M. W. Gilbert, D. D., of 165 West 53d 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 called to the attention of Mr. Olcott, as 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 might have one representative in the National Congress, as was justly due to us as citizens. This gentleman approached me in Congress and informed me of his advice from Dr. Gilbert, and from then he came to know me better. He took an active part before the Election Committee and members in the interest of my contest; and had not the chairman of the committee delayed the report in this contest until I was forced to leave Congress to answer a mandate handed down against me in court in Charleston, on the 6th day of June last—cooked up for political participation purposes by politicians—the work of Mr. Olcott and his friends would have seated me, not withstanding the discriminations and unrighteous election laws of the State of South Carolina, for the record and the law presented in this contest under the rules and laws governing Congress had commanded the support of the Republicans. Therefore, fellow-citizens, I appeal to We recognize that the people and the government of all countries and peoples, regardless of the nationalities and in importance that they might wish to show this principle are members of vital inns which will be discussed and with our Congress, and we all our Republican friends like to Osceola, who is not afraid to bear when rightmost demand their attention to do so on as a consultant for a coat and Bath Congress has given permission by observation as to to be conditions are which constitute a deed and as citizens of the States in that representative body, it is really useful in order that command due recognition—such other nationalities under the law institution of the country commanding to our rights and privileges this station and that honorable lawmakers. follow, fellow citizens, that each of o are voters in this district has the importance of electing Repre- sident Orcott by casting your votes next November as the standard of your district, and that you reaf- fect that this matter concerns you hardness of race or color, to unite mutual ground and give this son a man in a place he never was A Republican before in your dis- land that God who rules and blesses will give you peace, prosperity cees in all your homes and com- I am yours.

Mr. Olcott is apparently a man of the type of Lincoln, and if he is sent to Congress long enough, may do great things for our benefit. There should be no hesitation on the part of any Afro-American in his district to support him in every possible way. His excellent record during the last session of Congress printed in the issue of October 25 speaks for itself, and his opponent can have no possible basis for arguing that Mr. Olcott did anything except that which was a benefit to his country and to his constitution. If every color and religion. He is a man among men and a true friend of the Afro-American people. His defeat would be our misfortune, but we still learned that our people will their full duty. Among the strong Afro-American speakers who are supporting Mr. Olcott ex-State Senator W. Lee Persons of North Carolina. In an address last week at the Monitor League headquarters he said in part: "When the Democratic party or its candidates attempt to beguile colored men into voting for them on the subterfuge that they favor equality before the law, it is accepted with little grace even by Democrats themselves; but when a candidate who has been nominated by a Democratic convention, bound by its platform, and pledged to its caucus actions, attempts to divert the attention of colored men from the traditional policy of the Democratic party, a party that has used every effort to put at naught the organic law of the land since the ratification of the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, it becomes 'buncombe rot' of the first water. "Noane colored man can for a moment seriously consider the putting of the Democratic party into power in the legislative branch of the United States, could divide their vote for ministerial officers, but the Tillmans, Vardamans and such as Hoke Smith of Georgia and John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, have taken charge of the Democratic party, and as such no self-respecting colored man can travel in their wake. "If a colored man who resides in a liberal state like New York desires to alleviate the condition of the colored man South of Mason and Dixon's line and possesses more than ordinary intelligence, we pity his sincerity for the colored man and assume at once that he is being badly mired or his action will be regarded as having sinister motives to accomplish in the name of humanity. "Let no man who desires to see any legislation attempted righting the conditions that obtain in the South be thus fooled into voting the Democratic ticket. "From the days of Bob Toombs of Georgia, the Democratic party has been opposed to the God-given right of the Negro in its organization, every Democratic convention that is held in the South has declared against Negro opportunity and Negro equality. "Will the colored men of this State so abase the privilege of voting so that neither party will have any interest in him? "Let us hope that when the smoke of battle has cleared away, it will be found that in no section of these United States doom the colored man show greater pride in guarding his rights than in the great State of New York. "But let a true Southernner who to-day is undermining the hardships of Democrate man in the town was not present. "The Southern colored man is watching your nation. Don't let them threaten your loyalty. The Japanese did not forget Japan in war. The Irish are still for Home State in Ireland. Shall it be said that the colored man is less loyal, has less pride, than those of other people who are being daily denied their rights? "Ocott is a Republican; so was Leroux; so was Summer; so was Douglas; so is Reovett. "Halligan is a Democrat; so is Tillman; so is Vardugan; so is John Sharp Williams. "WHICH COMPANY DO YOU PREPER? Congressman Olcott's campaign will be wound up with a monster Afro-American meeting at Columbus Hall, 120-123 West 50th street, next Monday night. There will other speakers are Mr. Charles O. Mass, Anderson, George L. Pryor, Dr. M. W. Gilbert, and ex-Senator W. Lee Persons of North Carolina. The Erin quarrette will sing.

Mr. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, London's famous composer and conductor, will be introduced to New York in a recital of his own works at Mendelssohn hall on Friday evening, November 18, 1906. He will be assisted by three of the foremost artists of his race, including Miss Lola Johnson, of Washington, D. C. soprano; Mr. Henry T. Burleigh, of this city baritone, and Mr. Felix Fowler Weir, of Chicago, Ill., violinist. Mr. Coleridge-Taylor is one of England's greatest living musicians, his works being considered masterpieces. His perseverance later as a musician. His father was an African studied medicine in England. His mother was an English lady. At an early age Samuel Coleridge-Taylor developed exceptional gifts for music and became noted as a violinist. He was graduated from the Royal College, becoming later distinguished as a composer.

He has written several symphonies of acknowledged merit, his latest, "Variations of an African Theme," having been recently produced under his baton in England and received with great elation. From the 18th century on, he will be made for his forthcoming recital. The recital is under the management of the Henry Wolfsoon's Musical Bureau, 131 E. 17th street. QUASH INDCTMENT AGAINST ATLANTA AFRO-AMERICANS Trial of Sixty Prisoners Abruptly Interrupted. ATLANTA, October 28 —Alex Walker, one of the sixty Afro-Americans of Brownsville under indictment in the superior court for the murder of County Officer Heard, was put on trial yesterday morning before Judge Roan, but the案 abruptly terminated when Walker's counsel interposed and argued a demurru to the indictment, which was sustained by the court, quashing the indictment against Walker and his fifty-nine code defendants. Solicitor General Hill announced that the sixty Afro-Americans would be indicted again by the grand jury. The trials will probably commence now on Tuesday morning. The indictment was alleged to be fatally defective, in that the charge against the defendants was made in the alternative, the charge being murder of "J. L. Heard by shooting him with a pistol or some other weapon of like character," which allegation was averred to be not sufficiently specific to put the defendant on notice with what he was charged, and further, that the indictment fails to specify which of the sixty Afro-Americans murdered Heard or that there was any concert of action between the defendant and the other fifty-nine Afro-Americans. CHASED OUT OF ORIO TOWN FOR ONE MAN'S CRIME Afro-American Killed Town Marsham and Just Escapes Lynching. DAYTON, Ohio, October 30.—George Basore, Town Marshal of Franklin, fifteen miles south of this city, was shot and instantly killed this morning, while attempting to arrest George White, an Afro-American, suspected of being implicated in robberies there. While was captured after an exciting chase through the town. He held his pursuers at bay until shot in the right arm. A mob of 300 men and boys attacked the Franklin jail, bent on lynching him. While they were forcing an entrance in the rear, Sheriff Patterson and two deputies were placed in an automobile, and made a speedy run for Lebanon, the county seat. The departing automobile was fired at by armed members of the mob. The whole own of Franklin is wrought up over the affair. Afro-Americans were chased out without having been given time to explain. Endorse Home Training School. LOUISVILLE, October 23. The Neighborhood Home and Training School opened here last April is being given great encouragement by Afro-American and white friends. The character of work done at this place is so useful to the young boys and girls, the industries taught so practical and the cooking department so valuable that it has the hearty support and endorsement of such white ladies as Mondesmes Homer Stocky, Carl J. Mitter, James Bochanan and Michele Lillian Haddold and Jennie G. Benedict. WHITE MAN CONTESTS ATLANTA, October 25.—Dr. George Atwood of Darien will contest the seat in the next legislature of William H. Rogers, the only Afro-American member of the Georgia house of representatives, who has represented McIntosh county for several years. Notice of Dr. Atwood's contest was received by Governor Terrell this morning, and its receipt has been formally acknowledged. Dr. Atwood is one of the leading citizens of McIntosh county and is a prominent physician. That Rogers' seat in the next legislature is to be contested will be learned in interest throughout the State. For the past five years he has been the only Afro-American member of the general assembly, and there are hundreds of Georgians who hope to see Dr. Atwood's content sustained. The white people of McIntosh county are outnumbered by about three to one, and it has been practically impossible for them to elect a white man to the legislature. Rogera has been a leader among his race and has been thrice honored by election to the general assembly, usually defeating a substantial white citizen. Under the State law all legislative contests are heard by the legislature, and Dr. Atwood's contest will take the usual course. There is a strong committal of house on contested elections, and the McIntosh controversy will doubtless be referred to this body for consideration and report. The outcome of the contest will be watched with interest throughout the State. COURTS UPHOLD MAYOR'S SUPERIORSION OF "CLANSMAN" Mayors of Wilmington and Harrisburg Also Forbid Play. PHILADELPHIA, October 25. — Judge Sulberker in Common Pleas Court to-day refused to grant an injunction restraining Mayor Weaver from interfering with the production at the Walnut street theatre of "The Clansman," which the Mayor suppressed as the result of a protest by leading Afro-American citizens. Judge Sulberger, in confirming the right of the Mayor to exercise his judgment in forbidding the further presentation of "The Clanman" last week, which intended to disturb the public peace and inflame public feeling, has done what the circumstances clearly warranted. The purpose of the play is mischievous when considered simply from the point of view as to its effect on the order of the community, and as the Mayor is responsible for the maintenance of order, he had the right to prevent the continuance of what he believed to be a cause of disorder, and the authority which has been exercised over it by Philadelphia's mayor, with the full approval and concurrence of the court, simply removes from the city a dramatic nuisance. The mayors of Wilmington, Del, and Harrison, Pn., also refused it permission to appear in their cities. The action of the mayor in closing up "The Clansman" was the cause of a fight between an Afro-American and a crowd of white men to-day at 4th street and Germantown avenue, with the result that the Afro-American was so badly beaten and cut up that he had to be taken to St. Mary's hospital. John Carney of, 335 South 7th street, was the champion of the Mayor's action, and while disputing with the crowd, brushed against one of the white men, whereupon they attacked him. Special, policeman Sayre is still looking for the man's assailants. GRAND JURY BLAMES ATLANTA POLICE FOR RIOTS Should Have Opposed More Determined Front. ATLANTA, Georgia, October 30—In its presentations to-day the Fulton County Grand Jury, declares that had the city police "opposed a determined front to the mob at the incipiency of the riots of September 22, all serious trouble could have been averted." It finds that after the riot was under full headway individual members of the force, with some exceptions, acted with courage and with a consciousness of the seriousness of the mitigation, excepting that there was too little disposition to resort to severe measures in protecting the innocent and helpless. The jury objected capital punishment for criminally insane. A special term of court is to begin tomorrow for the trial of the forty Afro-Americans charged with the murder of Policeman James Heard at the time of the riots. The jury in the case against George W. Blackstock, charged with assault with intent to murder an Afro-American woman, returned a verdict of guilty to day. Sentence was deferred. Blackstock was said to be leader of the mob of September 22. CHASED OUT OF GEORGIA FOR WRITING UP BOOTS Rev. J. G. Robinson Finla Refuge in Louisville. LOUISVILLE. October 24.—Rev. J. G. Robinson, D. D., whom a mob of forty "prominent citizens" chased out of Decatur, Ga., is in this city to be permanently located at Young's chapel A. M. E. church, by appointment of Bishop Schaefer. Rev. Robinson says he was waited upon by the county superintendent, a banker, and a white Methodist preacher with others at 12 m., and told to leave, as his presence would not be tolerated. He published articles in The Freeman about the Atlanta riot which were referred to in The Atlanta Constitution, thus giving rise to the admonition to leave immediately. New Hampshire Governor M. R. new organization giving the audience on Wednesday, October 17, at a meeting held for that program in the T. M. G. A. building, Gale street, to be known as "The Constitution League of the State of Connecticut." Upwards of fifty representative men from all part of the state presents, and in an attempt for the enforcement of the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States. Rev. A. Clayton Powell, D. D., pastor of the Immanuel Baptist church, this city, was elected president and Preston M. Edwards, M. D., of Hartford, was elected secretary and treasurer. Then an executive committee composed, of representatives of each congressional district was chosen, and a letter was sent to each of the five Republican members of the Congress. The applies to the letter sent to the Congressmen will be made public in fall when all have answered. The letter sent to the Congressmen reads as follows: "DEAR SIR: By a conference of fifty or more representative colored men from all parts of the State, held on October 17, 1908, we have been directed to forward to you the following communication: The platform adopted at the last Republican National Convention contained a strong plank in which was condemned the unjust discrimination against the black voters of the South. The party also in the same plank pledged itself to the enforcement of the Constitutional amendment, which requires the reduction of the representation of a State in Congress in proportion to its restriction of the franchise. At the last session of Congress the Republicans refused to take any steps watering toward the fulfilment of this pledge. "In addition, we colored men of Connecticut, together with other colored men of the North, are going to make our votes as influential as possible in the matter of reinfranchising the black men of the South, whose votes are unjustly withheld from them. "We think a very potent influence in this direction lies in the reduction of Southern representation in Congress as provided for under the Constitution. "A diligent search of the Congressional record for the last session shows that you did not take part, either for or against, in any of the discussions on the question, which leaves your position in doubt. "As you are a candidate for re-election on the ticket of the Republican party, we feel free to ask for a statement of your position on this question of reduction. It would be appreciated by us if your answer took the form of a reply to these two questions: "First, in case of re-election would you actively support a measure for the appointment of a commission to inquire into the restriction of the elective franchise in the several States? "Second, upon a finding of such commission that the elective franchise is materially restricted in any State, would you actively support a measure for reduction of the representation of that State as required by the Constitution, provided that State persists in such reduction?" "An early reply is solicited. Respect fully yours." Committee for Conference: "P. S. — It is but just to you to apprise you in advance of our intention to make public your reply, such being, in our opinion, the requirements of the corrupt practices act." HOWARD ORPHAN ASYLUM TO BUY PLOT AT ST. JAMES Superintendent Gordon Praised for Year's Work. The annual meeting of the board of managers and trustees and of the members of the Society of the Howard Colored Orphan Asylum, Dean street and Troy avenue, was held in the main building of the institution last Tuesday evening.

The report showed that the expenses had been reduced to $700, and that there is a balance of $26,387.56 during the year. Dr. Goodell, Dr. Gilbert, Dr. Brown and Mr. Whiting, of the board of managers spoke of the increase of funds along all lines, and commended the Rev. J. H. Gordon, the superintendent of the institution. Dr. Edward F. Robinson, Dr. O. M. Waller and Dr. Robert M. Green also commended the superintendent.

Whiting senior member of the board and former treasurer of the building fund, authorized and directed the purchase of desirable farm land and a house at St. James, L. I., and the payment of $10,018 on the purchase price, $25,000. The vote for the resolution to buy the farm at St. James, L. I., first stood eleven against three, and after some discussion Dr. J. M.

FULL DRESSSUITS TO HIRE EDUCATION THE MENACE No Feeling Against Ignorant Black Men, Says Editor KILL 15TH AMENDMENT Southerners Fear Men Who Know Rights and Proceed to Assert Them MONTGOMERY, Ala., October 27.—Chan. P. Lane, editor of The Huntsville Daily Tribune has written an open letter to the Governor of Alabama declaring that the revised Constitution of this State offers a premium for Afro-Americans to qualify for the suffrage and that thousands will proceed to qualify themselves. PHILADELPHIA, October 29.—The pre-He also states with frank brutality that Southern white men like the ignorant and hate the educated Afro-American. He says: "In A. D., 1001, your correspondent availed himself of the opportunity to nullify as far as possible the effect of this (the 15th) Amendment or Federal mistake by advocating with all the earnestness of his nature the ratification of the present constitution, of the State of Alabama. "We believed then, as we do now, that the suffrage clause of this constitution was misdirected. Still we accepted it for what it was worth. We thought then, as we do now, and so openly expressed ourselves, that the menace to peace, the danger to society and white supremacy was not in the illiterate Negro, but in he upper branches of Negro society, the educated, the man who after ascertaining his political rights forced the way to assert them. "We, the Southern people, entertain no prejudice toward the ignorant persecute offensive Negro. It is because we know him and for him we entertain a compassion, but our blood boils when the educated Negro asserts himself politically, we regard each assertion as an unfriendly encroachment upon our native superior rights, and a dare devil menace to our control of the affairs of the State. "In this are we not speaking the truth; does not every Southern Caucasian 'to the manor born' bear witness to this version? Hence we present that the way to dampen racial prejudice, avert the impending horrors, is o embrace the Negro politically by repealing the Fifteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. "Mark what I now say to Alabama's mistake. In our constitution 'permanent clause' we offer a premium, an inducement for the qualification and grant of suffrage to the Negro. Stimulated by the fact that he is of an inferior race, imbued with a characteristic Negro love for the right of suffrage, thousands will come up to the standard of qualification. To them the front doorway is open, the indifferent whites who, accustomed to the franchise distinction, feel no special interest in it, the back door is open, and many troops of them are passing out that way." 53 West 133d Street Between Loez and Fifth Avenues CHOICE WINES, LIQUORS AND CIGARS Neals to Order WILLIAM HAMILTON, Prop.

One Governor bids us affection; another smilingly takes up fellow and bids us follow him. low resplendent was the city this ruling when Old Sol poked his head out of the East, fresh from his journey to a Western country, and smiled at our double preparations, for the inauguration! "A merry day!" he seemed to wink at me from his full face shining into my wide open ventana. While I was besieging myself with the tides of morning, the bands tooted along the street, calling us who wanted to see her hurry lost, we be late. I hurried, and a shaking of exhilaration grew over me. The march had just been taken up as I came into Santa Crus, but this I did not know, for a band of eighty from Tundra was making the entrance wall of the Escolita resound with the notes of a mighty Negro tune. I hurried toward the Puente. Crowds were elbowing each other for space along the thoroughfare as far down the Escolita as the eye could see. Then it came to me to inquire if the Governor had passed. "No," growled a gruff Anglo-Saxon tattoo, fighting with his inlair board for the very space I stood. I pushed back and lit a cigarillo. Then presently came the carriage of James Francis Smith of California, Governor General elect, seated at the right of Henry Clay Ide. of Vermont, Governor-General outgoing. A mighty roar went up from the host along the way, and my heart swelled in my bosom. "Great, ain't it, to be an American?" I bowled out to my jostling Anglo-Saxon neighbor. "You bet!" he growled back. "Are you an American? D——d if I didn't think you one of these Niggers. Shake!" Then we trudged together our way to the Ayuntamiento and, being with him, found my way into the great Marble all, though the burly, red-faced police a lined along the passage scowled on as I passed. A couple of fancy Filipino youngsters came stumbling down the stairway andullenlegluised outward, and I knew then that a been lucky in falling into the com- Once inside the great inangural room I forget them, and thrilled with pride that I was an American. I looked along the great walls and read the history of my country from Washington to Roosevelt. A gust of wind blew in. The huge Amish colors decorating the walls rolled in majestically. My blood beat a mud run through the veins. What a great thing it is to be an American! Then the room began to fill; a sprinkle of Filipinos of the cheery sort that could pass the door, officers of the army and mary, spank and trim in uniforms of white, members of the diplomatic corps in gold and lace, and bavies of beautiful women from across the seas, bedecked in the mournful grills and furbels of the tropics. I surrendered my seat and moved to the alley by the door. From where I stood the scene was a grand The more one looked, the prouder s of being an American. Was not inch of the occasion American? t care a rap how silent and gullen Jaglenni and Legaspi and an horde of imposing Dons looked who poke their noes from their oils in the disks along the walls of the Marble Hall. The dongs of the day were doings of my country, and that was at making Governors-General; and that was at mine! A truffle of feet from the rear. The great hand perched on the stairway in the Sala burst into a noble passage from "Lobengrin" and the panorama was on, silent and self-contained, yet showing a race of feeling for the scue to be enacted, the Governor old and the Governor new tread down the great right aisle to the stage where the Chief Justice would minister an oath—and one would be there the other had been. The great band outside continued its score from "Lohengrin." Then we bowed our beads, and a little half-caste man in a great black robe came out from somewhere and read from a book to a man with a hand uplifted—and there was born another puzzling situation for one. But it could not disturb us here, for we had in thought and heart our great counsely, and I was proud that I was part of it and of them that form it. And then then Ayala came! I had an pushed clean out of the door when came. Why did he come, anyway? was so happy until then. And why should he chide me for being but a shaw- of what I claimed to be? I said, "A gala scene, senor.

"But his colors Americanism timeless" (Are the unknown people American else?) As I lay on the bed I thought of the days on the plains, at Lone Quandam, at Sun Jane, at Gloryway, In Canyon, down by the Marquette, and Amurry; and across the Cordillera to the Valley of the Ogapan; and the brave black boys who were there as I was, fighting for a country which even the little brown men they ablated into subjection knew repudiated them because of race. And I wondered if they ever think, as I do, of the task done, its hardship, and the outcome of it to them and theirs. Slapped in the face when peace came! Then my mind reverted to the morning, its splendor, and what was taking place; of the people there from my Nation, capable representatives of every element of it but mine. Mine? Then I thought of Don Ayala, and the band outside, and cursed. And even the bone that has been given the one of our number who led the band outside was snatched by a compelling genius: GOV. JELKS HITS LYNCHING AND UNFAIR REGISTRATION Princess Afro-American Women and Urged Sanctity of Law. MONTGOMERY, Ala., October 27.—Today was "Negro Day" at the Alabama State fair, which is in session here. The speakers were Dr. Booker T. Washington and Governor Wm. D. Jelks. Gov. Jelks said in part: "Horrible, horrible, is lynching; not only because it is a trampling upon the sacred statutes, but because in one-half of the cases the mob's anger falls upon the unproved and even innocent victim. More than one time since I have occupied the Executive chair, the ruthless violators have laid their illegal and impious hands upon a man as innocent of the offence charged as an angel. "How to live together is our problem, yours and mine. Those people who live at a distance, however well meaning, can give us no help except by giving us a free way with it. "I say it is a problem for your race and mine, and yet I believe it is a problem more for your race than for mine. We need an army of good colored men in every section of this State to stand out boldly in favor of demanding a reverence for the statutes of the State. There are many brave men and honest men among our people who recognise the sacredness of the Divine and human statutes, but hesitate to make themselves felt in a war on those who violate them. They are honest but inactive. "Many of your women are as virtuous as the women of any people. They keep their homes in order like Martha. Their husbands \rise up to call them blessed and their children praise them." "I accept the responsibility, in part, for the appointment of registrars who disfranchise your people. I want to say that it is my first insistence that every man of your race who can register under the law should be allowed and urged to do so. I am for the laws of the State, every one of them in their entirety. No man is charged with the privilege of saying that one law is good and another bad, one law ought to be enforced and another ignored. Every one of them has equal sanctity, and every good citizen must so regard them. I believe it is best for all concerned, aside from the observance of the statutes, that everyone who can come in under the permanent plan of the constitution should be allowed and even urged to register and to vote. "God knows I wish you well. I wish my own people well, and I could not do that and wish you ill, our mutual fortunes being much bound up together." OLCOTT TO HAVE MONSTER MASS MEETING MONDAY P. M. Hughes, Anderson, Gilbert and Others to Speak.

Hughes and Mr. Olcott will address the meeting. Other speakers will be Hon. Charles W. Anderson. Hon. Charles O. Maas, Dr. John C. Coleman, Mr. G. L. Pryor, Dr. M. W. Gilbert and ex-Senator W.

CITICAPO, October 26.—The Afro-American people in Chicago are still making advances in gaining for themselves a greater diversity of employment. Every now and then some business man breaks away from the tyranny of unionism and seeks relief in the employment of Afro-American men and women. Quite recently a large factory for the making of fancy and artistic boxes took in some Afro-American girls as an experiment, and they gave such satisfaction that the manager has increased the number. It seems that some business man began to notice that the schools, colleges and mechanical schools were turning out an increasing number of competent young Afro-American men and women. This unusual and unused talent must have some value, and this observing business man is learning how to turn it to his own advantage. When more of the business men shall have learned this lesson the color line, in certain grades of employment where intelligence and special aptitude are required, will grow falter and the outlook for our educated young people grow brighter. LOUISVILLE, October 22—Miss Ethel G. Irving, formerly of Cleveland, Ohio, but for the past year employed as stenographer in the office of Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, corresponding secretary of the Woman's Convention, has just received word of her appointment to a position in the departments at Washington, D. C. Miss Irving took the civil service examination for stenographers and type-writers held here last April, and passed with a very creditable average. ATLANTA, October 28.—Charging that she was humiliated in the presence of a large number of fellow-passengers on a Georgia railroad passenger train while on routes to Atlanta from Stone Mountain Tuesday afternoon, by being brusquely ordered by a train hand to leave the passenger car reserved for the use of white ladies and gentlemen, and conducted through the smoking car to the "Jim Crow" department of the smoking car, which was occupied by Afro-Americans, Mrs. Howard W. Dexter, the wife of Howard W. Dexter, a prominent business man of Atlanta, will to-day file suit in Decatur against the Georgia railroad for either $10,000 or $15,000 damages. Mr. and Mrs. Dexter reside in apartments at the Oglethorpe, 195 Ivy street, and are socially prominent in Atlanta. Mr. Dexter is well known in business circles as a sales agent with an office in the Empire Building. On Tuesday morning Mrs. Dexter had occasion to go to Stone Mountain, taking with her an Afro-American servant girl. In the afternoon she boarded the Georgia train bound for Atlanta: Immediately after the train pulled out from Stone Mountain, according to Mrs. Dexter's statement, she was approached by the train hand, who brusquely and perempotently told her that she could not remain in that car and that she must follow him. Not comprehending what the man had said, Mrs. Dexter followed him into the forward car, and it was only when he opened the door leading to the "Jim Crow" compartment of the smoking car and saw the Afro-Americans in it that she comprehended the man's meaning. She instantly demanded what he meant by such an outrage, and was informed that she had to go in the compartment where she belonged. Mrs. Dexter indignantly refused to go to the "Jim Crow" compartment, and then, feeling the extent of the humiliating insult, burst into tears. It was not until then that the railroad employees recognised the fact that an inexcusable blunder had been committed. As soon as Mr. Dexter was advised of the treatment to which his wife had been subjected, he was very indignant, and he determined to have legal redress for the mortification and humiliation which had been heaped upon his wife. He therefore consulted Arnold & Arnold, with the result that the damage suit will be filed to-day in DeKalb superior court. LOUISVILLE HAS HANDSOMEST COLORED Y. M. C. A: BUILDING Opening Was Celebrated With Four Nights' Carnival. LOUISVILLE, Ky., October 27.—The largest and handsomest Colored Y. M. C. A. building in America is located in this city, having recently been purchased by Afro-Americans with the assistance of the white board. The purchase of the building has been the cause of more solidarity on the part of Louisville people than any other recent event. Last week the citizens of all denominations joined hands in giving a four nights' carnival, which was the most successful ever attempted. The people are enthusiastic in their praises of the work of theady assistants. Prof. A. E. Meyzeck, secretary Bullock and Mr. D. L. Knight, with others, deserve the palm. The affair was a crowning success. PREACHER MOVES THAT MISS And the Kiss in Delivered Amid Shouts and Cheers. PALESTINE, Texas, October 22.—Miss Nannie H. Burroughs made the most eloquent address before the Baptist Women's Convention that has ever been heard in this section. It is said that strong men shouted and cried and women wept. Dr. Jackson, a leading divine, made a motion after the address that the president kiss Miss Burroughs for the entire convention. The act was performed amid shouts and cheers. Miss Burroughs has made such a strong impression that she is urged to come back again in February. MACON'S MAYOR ENDORSES STATE AFRO-AMERICAN FAIR Dr. Washington to Deliver Opening Address. MACON, Ga., October 26. All talk in this town about prohibiting the Georgia State Colored Fair to be held here on November 12-19 has been quieted by an open letter from Mayor Bridges declaring his approval of the fair. After the Atlanta massacre several rabid whites here started an agitation to stop the play, but were soon squeaked by the better element. Mayor Bridges writes in part as follows: "The fair to be given by the Colored Society has the endorsement of all good citizens of Macon, and their co-operation will be given toward making it a success. Colored people throughout the State who may have any apprehension whatever are told that their visit to the city will be absolutely safe, and not the slightest trouble should be anticipated. Macon has the reputation of being a peaceful city, and it may be said that nowhere in Georgia is there more cordial or more peaceful relations existing between the races. It is hoped that all good colored people throughout the State will come to Macon on the occasion of the first Negro State Fair, and give it all aid and encouragement." Major R. R. Wright is president of the fair and Bishop Turner a large stockholder, Dr. Booker T. Washington will deliver the opening address. According to the will of Colonel Henry P. Martin of Brooklyn, $20,000 were bequeathed to home missionary work among Afro-Americans. Colored Tenants, Attention!

(The Chronicle) Mary Sue Young Vernon Bostrup, author of the most positive dissipation the solution of our problem is to be brought in giving the dignified names of men between a noble pride in our own and an integrity projection against the larger man. Providence of any sort is able to that judgment which the Luther gave us for our guide. More problems present this disastrous case in one of its most common environments. It ranks next to rebellion Suspects. The one is based on a suspended duty to God; the other on a suspended duty to one's race-blood. The danger this sense of duty, the more hard the mind against every appeal to revenge. In persecuting the early Christian Paul thought he was doing his duty to God. The men who burned the witches in New England thought they were doing their duty. Be, perhaps, may think that ex-presence, who in our own day has turned playwright, and calling to his aid all the adventures of the stage and all the realism of the living drama, seeks to fan into those the fiercest passions of the whites who have been so far far and logically deduce it, seems to be force into immediate configuration combustible materials, which his heated imagination tells him must burn some time in the future. Apparently he chafes under the delay of Providence in bringing on the ghastly spectacle, and years to witness with his own eyes in the flesh that reign of hell on earth recedes, redenses, and penetrates into the calm, and gentle presence of Him whose gospel of love and light he once preached in terrifying men. If the true purpose of this reversible gentleman be to preserve the blood of our race in its purity by creating a sentiment against intermarriage of the whites and blacks, let him confine his play to Chicago and Boston and New York and Philadelphia and other marriages, some free marriages are said to be. As for us in the South, we need no artificial stimulant to arouse our people against that sort of racial intermarriage. Our law forbids it, and that is one law no man or woman ever violates. Race Purity. In this connection let us of he South realise the hard fact, that the greatest obstacle to the preservation of the purity of the blood of our race, about which we hear so much in this day, was remembrance when slavery was about us. The institution, which did the facts too plainly wrought, much contamination of Caucasian blood. In Virginia in 1630 a white man servant was publicly flogged for consorting with a Negro slave, and was required to make public confession of his guilt on the following Basis: that he was a man that offense must soon have fallen into "juncus desuetude." In calmly considering now the situation that confronted our statesmen of the ante-bellum period, that which most astounds us is their apparent failure to foresee what would have been the inevitable consequence of an indefinite continuance of slavery in its effect on race purity and on relative race numbers. The ratio of increase of the Negroes was far in excess of the whites. The great laboring middle class, which forms the backbone of every nation's pluck and power, was fast migrating Westward, and the remaining population was rapidly talizing into an upper class, white slave holders and a lower class of Negro slaves—the latter multiplifying their masters in numbers. Another one hundred percent of slavery would in all probability have doomed the South to absolute Negro domination by mere weight of numbers whenever emancipation should come—and come it was sure to do at some time in the evolution of the elemental forces that were at work. If there be a Providence who watches over the affairs of nations and "slumbers not nor sleeps," we may say in all reverence that he would have made an almost inexhaustible blunder if he had delayed much longer the abolition of slavery. Social recognition of the true dimity of labor, which is so necessary to the growth of the people and self-respecting middle class, could not be maintained in the presence of slavery where manual toil is so generally regarded as a badge of servitude. Negro Base Projected Forward Beyond Natural Development. When a subject people in the hard school of experience gradually assert themselves and evolve from within the physical, mental and spiritual forces that achieve their freedom, as did the Anglo-Saxons from under the yoke of their Norman conquerors, they come forth by natural growth prepared for the duties and responsibilities of self-government. But the Negro as a race had undergone no such process of evolution. His transportation from Africa to America and his transition from slavery to freedom both the results of human impostions and not of human development. The power came from without, not from within. He did not win his freedom. It was bestowed upon him. Granting that he is only a backward member of the great human family, which as most evolutionists and Christians believe, is moving steadily on toward the constant goal of Millennial perfection, yet we cannot fall to see that the Negro race was suddenly projected forward into a stage of civilization many generations in advance of its own natural development. Is it any wonder, then, that the Negro as a race should not be allogather fitted to the laws and customs and political institutions of those among whom his fox was cast? Again, is it any wonder that this advanced civilization should find it necessary at times to apply sterner penalties for the curbing of his savage instincts when he was freed from the accustomed control of his master? Unfortunately, soon after emancipation, some of the worst specimens of the black began to commit an unpardonable crime. Immediately the white man over the door of his house whether it were proud, maniacous or humble cain, a warning more terrible in its meaning than the which Dante dreamed he saw over the gateway so bell: "Lest the brats who cannot have all hope behind." In the promises of that crime, then do not think, they only feel. Big, how shall we six bounds for those who rush outside outside the limits of the law? Yachting began with this and similar savage crimes. But, also, where will they all end? Let us hope that those certain factions in our problem, and that they will somedialish and eventually disappear. Abhorrent as are the crimes of some degenerate members of the Negro race, we Southern people can move forget the simple faith and tragic loyalty of those thousands of slaves who guarded the proctest house at home while the men were at the front fighting to drive back an invading foe whose victory meant freedom to those slaves themselves. Negro Military Salutes Confederate Newport. Nor is there a total dearth of touching incidents in these latter days. Only about a year or so ago, a Negro military company from Savannah came marching in full array up Broadway in Augusta. In front of them, rising toward the sky in beautiful, artistic proportions, stood a marble monument erected by loving women to the dead Confederacy. At its base were two statues of a black job and Walker, and lifted high up above them all on the top of the towering shaft stood the statue of a private Confederate soldier. No white military company, no camp of maimed Confederate veterans ever pass that monument without giving it the honor of a formal salute. As the Negro military, comes nearer, one of two gentlemen standing in the doorway of a building nearby says: "Let us watch now and see if those fellows will salute the Confederate monument; but no salute will be given because it will not occur to the commanding officer, but that the omission will not be intended as an affront. Scarcely are the words spoken, when the Negro captain, in clear, ringing tones that prove the sincerity of his tribute, gives the command to salute, and every black arm instantly obeys that command. There was cheering among the white bystanders. When the great Wade Hampton lay upon his death bed he made this prayer: "God bless all my people—white and black—God bless them all." Sufrage Qualifications. While the issue of political control under the Fifteenth Amendment still confronted the Southern States, Mississippi, having the greatest Negro majority, led off with her Constitution of 1891 providing an educational qualification for voting. There being more illiterate blacks, than illiterate whites in Mississippi, the necessary effect of this law war to promote white supremacy. But the law on its face did not discriminate against, the Negro on account of his race. It covered whites and blacks alike. The Supreme Court of the United States decided that this Mississippi law did not violate the Federal Constitution. What the effect of its practical administration has been need not now be discussed. Other States followed with similar laws, based primarily on educational qualifications, but some a proviso was evolved to preserve the ballot to illuminate whites. An honest administration of a suffrage law based on an educational qualification would necessarily disfranchise a great many whites. Hence a proviso was devised to the effect that the educational qualification should not apply to any person, nor to the descendant of any person, who could have voted at some past date, say, or example, January 1, 1867, when N roses as a class were not allowed to vote. This proviso was popularly known as the "grandfather" clause, because under it, a man otherwise disqualified, might so speak, inherit the right of suffrage from his grandfather. Uniformity of this clause was to nullify the purpose of the requirement of the State law as to the whites, while leaving it in full force as to the Negroes, and in this way to get around the Fifteenth Amendment of the Federal C institution, which forbids discriminatl n on account of race. The Supreme Court of the United States has gone as far as any one could have expected it to go in upholding the reserved rights of the States on the subject of suffrage. But that court has not ruled nor nor ruled on the validity of any suffrage law containing the "grandfather" clause or any other clause baked on the same principle. "Grandfather" Clamse Doomed. Whenever the Supreme Court shall take judicial notice, as it will do, of the historical fact that on the date selected for the "grandfather" clause to begin to operate, say January 1, 1867, the Negroes as a class had no right to vote, or when that undeniable or easily proven fact is made to appear by evidence, this device of the "grandfather" clause must fall of its own crookedness. A preference to one race is necessarily the legal equivalent of a discrimination against the other race. The Negroes in American constitutional law when the right to vote is made inheritable from the non-transmissible attributes of an ancestor instead of being based on the personal attributes of the voter. It will mark a still further departure in judicial construction when the Supreme Court finds in this new doctrine a legal justification for sanctioning the race discrimination forbidden by the Fifteenth Amendment. The Mississippi law, the only one ever squarely considered and directly conducted by Supreme Court, 170 U. S. 213, does not contain the "grandfather" clause. That was a device of later invention. The case of Giles v. Harris, 180 U. S. 475, involving the Alabama law, was dismissed in the Supreme Court for want of jurisdiction in the lower court—but Justice Brewer, Brown and Harlan dissected in vigorous terms. The latest case, of Jones v. Montague, 194 U. S. 147, involving the Virginia law, was dismissed because the act sought to be enjoined—the issuing of certificates of election, etc., to members of Congress—had already been done, and the Congressmen had taken their seats before the case was reached in the Supreme Court. saying, however, that lawyers can be found to mount some technical difficulty, and at the bar of the Supreme Court confront the "Grandfather" clause of the State Constitutions with the "anti-race discrimination" clause of the Federal Constitution. The result scarcely admits of a doubt. Disfranchisement Movement in Georgia. What, then, shall we, as Georgians and Americans, true to our own great State, and true to the greater Nation of which it is a part, say of the movement which is now being so freely discussed, and which has seemingly gained some headway, to no amount our State Constitution as to disfranchise the Negroes as a race. We have read in the public press repeated statements that prominent leaders are openly announcing their intention to "disfranchise the Negro," and promising to "eliminate him from politics." Not only do they forbid him to complain that end through so-called educational qualification or understanding clause, and at the same time not to deprive a single white man of his ballot, no matter how illiterate or ignorant he may be. I might hesitate here and now, even at the last moment, to proceed further with the discussion of this branch of my subject if the facts as to 'intentions and methods, as I have just stated them, were at all in dispute. But as I understand it, there, is no disposition to deny, them—rather, an increasing bodiness in asserting them. Therefore we may quite properly, in the course of our discussion, assume deductions from those admitted facts as they bear on the law and morals of the situation. How, then, are these two purposes, to put out all the Negroes and put in all the whites, to be accomplished in the face of the prohibition of the Fifteenth Amendment? Clearly, it cannot be done by open avowal in the body of the law, but by that that the law would convict itself in any court in the land. How, then, is this avowed purpose to be accomplished? Pardon me, my friends, but let us face the truth; the scheme must be to disfranchise the Negro by a fraudulent administration of the law. In no other way is it possible to produce the promised justice. Leather tiger skin must be backed up by administrative fraud—else the avowed purpose cannot be accomplished. It must be admitted that the machinery of the proposed law could be easily perverted to fraudulent purposes. Before a citizen can register to vote, he is to be required to read and explain, or to be required to pay an pargany, to the State Constitution. Not all lawyers all know that there are some parts of our Constitution that the Supreme Court judges themselves have never been able fully to explain—even granting that they understand them all. But who are to judge of this explanation or understanding? The registrars, of course. Suppose the registrars are given, who will vouch that the registrars themselves will understand it, or will accept it as satisfactory? Of course, the officers of registration are to be white. An easy paragraph for a white applicant: a difficult paragraph for a Negro applicant; the acceptance of any sort of an explanation from a white applicant; the rejection of any sort of an explanation from a Negro applicant—there you have the hidden cards with which the game of cheat is to be played. And the miserable lives of people of fraud that our proud and noble people are asked to rest their safety and their civilization. How long do the advocates of this method of disfranchisement think they can expose their purpose to the political eye and keep it concealed from the judicial eye? How long can they proclaim it on the hustings and hush it in the court house? Referring to one of these laws, a learned commentator on our Supreme Court decisions has said: "If in the light of their history and conditions and the avowed purpose of the authors of the laws that they are cloning, who would that the real designs are not expressed in terms, the situation would seem to be one to require the court to reason from cause to effect." The court, in construing the Fourteenth Amendment (118 U. S. 354) has said: "Though the law itself he fair on its face and impartial in appearance, yet if it be applied and administered by public authority with AN EVIL EYE AND AN UNEQUAL HAND so as practically to make unjust and unequal discriminations between persons in similar circumstances material to their rights, the denial of justice must be within the prohibition of the Constitution." Nor can escape be found in that line of decisions by the Supreme Court to the effect that the prohibition of the Fifteenth Amendment applies to State action and not to acts of private citizens. The registrars who are to enforce this disfrienshment law are officers and agents of the State. The Supreme Court (100 U. S. 339) have further said: "Whoever by virtue of his public position under a State government, deprives another of life, liberty or property without due process of law, or denies or takes away the rights of another in the inhibition of the Fourteenth Amendment, and as he acts in the name of, and for, the State and is cloaked with her power, HIR ACT IS HIR ACT." This same principle of responsibility will be applied to the registrars under this disfranchisement law. Their act will be the acta of the State, and will consequently come within the prohibition of the Fifteenth Amendment, and will also be within the jurisdiction of the Federal courts, where alleged violations of the law are made. But aside from these legal aspects of the matter, let us ask ourselves if there is not a more serious practical difficulty to be overcome. These registrars, as officers, must take the usual oath to perform their duties impartially under the law. Let us put the plain, blunt question: How many counties in Georgia can be relied on to furnish three citizens for registrars who will agree in advance to violate their solemn oath? Will not honest men point at them the finger of scourge? The great John C. Caliboun sought to nullify a Federal statute law on the tariff by State action because he believed it to chief reliance in the technical difficulties of getting the status of the question by the Supreme Court. It may be questioned in a jurisdiction of the Federal Court. This, which be freed and handed. But these latter day authorities are seeking to nullify the Federal Constitution by a State law—no, not by a State law but by a Constitution of a State law. No power on a court would have made the California court to such chieftain—he was fashioned in a noble mould. What a contract between the great nullifier and these little militants! The abuse to which the broad discretionary powers of the regulators under these distractions law might be carried in times of few parliaments are absolutely unlimited. It need not be unfamiliar to the public that it will be the victim of such abuse. When moral character is once devalled and fraud seeks its own solitary end, it will not stop at the color line. One Danger in Educational Qualification. There can be no legal objection, whenever the public necessity requires it, to establishing a reasonable educational qualification for roters, provided that qualification is fairly and honestly applied. But if this educational qualification is to be fraudulent subterfuge or franchise the public will be another very serious consequence which will necessarily follow. If by appeals to race *predispose* and fear these Negro disfranchisers establish the educational test in fulfilment of their promise to "eliminate the Negro from politics," then of necessity, these *same* leaders and their followers must recognise that, from their point of view it is not the *IGNORANT*, but the *EducATED* Negroes who will be the most dangerous political enemies of the whites. Will it all at once arise, why should the white people create dangerous political enemies by allowing the Negroes to be educated? Why not "eliminate them from politics" by keeping them in ignorance? There is no escape from the logic of this argument; if the premises be correct. Thus we would find ourselves committed to the degrading policy of enforcing ignorance on a weaker race, with its attendant results of peonage and semislavery, from which all good-men would pray for deliverance. Division of School funds on Race Lines Even now there are signs of a movement in Georgia to give the Negro schools only that pittance of money arising from the state court in North Carolina (94 N. C. 700); also by the State court in Kentucky (83 K. 49); and also by the Federal court in three decisions from Kentucky (16 Fed. R. p. 297; 23 Fed. R. 634, and 72 Fed. R. 639). In our own State a bill to the same effect was passed in 1888 for a local school system, and Governor, John B. Gordon, while Hon. Clifford Anderson was attorney general, it was against sound policy and a violation of the Constitution of the State and the United States. There is nothing in the decision of our State Supreme Court in the Eatonton case (80 Ga. 755) nor in the Richmond County high school case (103 Ga. 641) to sustain the proposition that the common school funds of the State, or of any subdivision of the State, can be divided between the races in proportion to the property or taxes of each. On the contrary, in the latter case, our State court said: "So far as the record discloses, both races have the same facilities of attending them" (the free common schools). And the United States Supreme Court, in reviewing this Georgia case (175 U. S. 528) may it be an admitted principle of law that the "benefits and burdens of public taxation must be shared by citizens without discrimination against any class on account of "heir est." Along this same line spoke Governor Charles J. Jenkins, known to Georgians as the "Noblest Rogan of Them All," when he took the chair as president of the constitutional convention of 1877. He said: "I utter no caution against class legislation or discrimination against our citizens of African descent. I feel a perfect assurance that there is no member of this body who would propose such action, and if there were, he would soon find them. There are no words of a high-minded statesman—not of a time serving politician. There are many differences between these two types of public men. One difference is that a politician seeks to find out what public opinion is and hastens to follow it, while a statesman seeks to find out what public opinion ought to be and helps to mould it. Our late Chancellor Hill, whose untimely death was deplored by us all, belonged to that higher class of moulders of public opinion. By example, as well as by precept, he led the way to the nobler ends of Life. Should Georgia Follow Other States? Surply nothing but the dire necessity of self-preservation could induce any people to resort to such suffrage expedients as are now being proposed to the people of Georgia. Nothing less than an impending overthrow of white civilization by Negro domination could excuse such extreme measures. But if our discussion has shown anything, it has shown that Georgia is not now in danger of Negro domination. One argument that is being pressed upon our people is that Georgia should follow the example of other Southern States that have passed similar disfranchisement laws. But let us ask, why should Georgia follow them? Is there anything in their examples on this subject worthy of our imitation? If their necessities compelled such questionable action, let us sympathize with them in their extremity. But let us, not imitate them when no such necessity beets us. Did not Georgia first redeem herself after reconstruction? Has she not kept abreast of her sister States in material, intellectual and moral progress? Is she not still the Empire State of the South? What should Georgia do for thirty years? Rather let Georgia continue to lead in wise and conservative managemanagement. On all fundamental questions our white people are sufficiently united in thought and purpose to come together in a solid phalanx if the Negroes should ever return to the ballot box in sufficient numbers on one side of an issue to jeopardise the public safety. As a legal means of maintaining white supremacy, no plan yet derived approacher system, in combination with the commutative system, tax provision of the Coalition. *Whatever may be the final political status of the Negro, we are now undemal- also in a summation degree of weakness. It is extremely麻烦 that the conditions created by the deficiencies hone of some Southern States can be permanent. The battle for supremacy between these have and the Federal Constitution is a matter of great importance. If the Federal Constitution proves victorious as it is very apt to do, then the active electoral system of these States may have to be changed. On the other hand, Georgia, through her superior-statemanship, has put herself in a position of safety, risky to take advantage of whatever hopeful developments the future may unhinder. She has violated no Federal law. She has manalized high supremacy with the least possible friction, and can continue to so maintain it. Not only is this campaign against the Negro unnecessary and unjust, but it is most inappropriate at this juncture. When every county in the State is calling loudly for more labor to serve the household and till the fields and develop our resources, why should we seek to enact more oppressive laws against the labor we now see? We do not know what quieting phases this vexing race problem may assume, but we may rest in the conviction that its ultimate solution—must be reached by proceeding along the lines of honesty and justice. Let us not in cowardice or in want of faith, needlessly sacrifice our higher ideals of private and public life. Race differences may necessitate social distinctions. But race differences cannot repeal the moral law. The Moral Law—Its Origin and Sanction. What is this thing we call the moral law? Is it a mere weak sentiment, suitable only for children and preachers and Sunday school teachers? Or is it the flat of Nature and Nature's God, commanding obedience from all men under the sanction of inevitable penalties? We will waive all questions as to weight of auction and reason out the matter for ourselves. Whence come our morals or ethical conceptions? Briefly let us summarise: First: The theological school rests the foundation of morals on divine commandment or revelation, which quickens the conscience. God spake through Moses, the Prophets and the Christ. Second: The psychological school traces the source of morals to an instinct or sense that is innate in the mind. The philosophical school the philosopher and metaphysician, Immanuel Kant, reasoned back to his celebrated postulate of a "catagogical imperative" call to duty. Third: The utilitarian school evolves morals from human experience, sanctioning as "good" or "right" that conduct which has proven beneficial, and condemning as "bad" or "wrong" that conduct which has proven injurious, thus creating and developing the conscience by successive stages of experimental knowledge. Herbert Spencer thus: evolved his system of utilitarian ethics till it almost flowered out in the beauty of the "Golden Rule." Professor Huxley, discussing the scientific doctrine of omnism, says: "The safety of morality lies in a real and living belief in that fixed order of nature which sends social disorganisation upon the track of immorality as surely as it sends physical disease after physical trespassers." It is not necessary for us to determine how much of truth there is in each of these schools of thought. Enough for us to know that all three reach substantially the same conclusion as to right rules of conduct for men. By different routes they arrive at the same goal. In reasoning they are three; in acting they are one. Here is a subject on which religion and science are in full accord, namely that the moral law is the wisest rule of conduct. So much for an individual man. The Moral Law Applies to States as Well as to Individuals. Now, does the same moral law apply to States and Nations as well as to individuals? Or are there two codes of morality, one for individuals and another for aggregations of individuals? Can we practice frudm as a collective body of citizens and still preserve our personal integrity as individual citizens? We might quote Mr. Jefferson as an authority for the doctrine that "moral duties are an obligatory on nations as on individuals." But again let us waive authority and reason out our own conclusions. We will test the question by the standards of the three schools of thought first named. If we assume that the theological school is correct, it is manifest that there can not be a code of public morals different in principle from the code of private morals different in principle from the code of private morals. God must deal with individuals and nations alike, because the former are the responsible units of the latter. We assume that he psychological school is correct, it is equally manifest that the conscience, being an innate mental quality, cannot reverse its action by changing from private to public capacity from individual to collective functions. If we assume that he utilitarian school is correct, it ought to be equally as clear that the rule of conduct which experience has proven to be beneficial as between individuals, is also beneficial as between States under like conditions. It is true that aggregations of individuals, by reason of divided responsibility, do not usually act up to the code of morals recognized by single individuals. That historical fact shows the imperfection of our past civilization, and calls upon us for better work in the future. No one accepts the condition as permanent or satisfactory. The great task of civilization, the dearest hope of philosophers and noble-minded statesmen, is to constantly improve that condition and bring nations more under the sway of the moral law. Though perfection be attainable, every step is progress. In proportion as international intercourse more free will a code of international ethics becomes more of personal ethics, be developed to be in measurable advantage of all concerned. Such is the doctrine underlying The Hague tribunal, which has already done so much for the peace of the world. One of the noblest tributes ever paid to Gladstone was that he had applied the moral law to British politics. It was Aristide, armored the Just—a brave soldier, a successful general, a man of sound practical judgment, not a Theologian to consider then named by the Theologians to consider gated by Thermiteans to calm war This Company has on its principal object the better handling of the Huge Tunnel Tunnel.

The re- vised version of our political policy. Speaking of the ideal, universal, moral code, one of the least sentimental of modern scientific writers says: "Although its realization may lie in the unseen future, civilization must hold fast to it, if it would be any more than a blind natural process; and it is certainly the noblest function of social science to point out the wearisome way along which mankind, dripping with blood, yet pants for the distant goal." Another deep thinker, summing up the facts of history and the reasons of philosopher says: "That the moral law is the unchanging law of social progress in human society is the lesson which appears to be written over all things." Solution of Race Problem: Give Negro Justice. The foundation of the moral law is justice. Let us solve the Negro problem by giving the Negro justice and applying to him the recognised principles of the moral law. This does not require social equality. It does not require that we should surrender into his inexperienced and incompetent hands the reins of political government. But it does require that we recognize his fundamental rights as a man, and that we judge each individual according to his own qualifications, and in making to be a man, a certain set of characteristics of his sex. Political rights cannot justly be withheld from those American citizens of an inferior or backward race who raise themselves up to the standard of citizenship which the superior race applies to its own members. It is true that the right of suffrage is not one of those inalienable rights of man, like life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, as enumerated in the Declaration of Independence, but the right of citizenship, as in the exercise of suffrage on account of race, is one of the guaranteed constitutional rights of all American citizens. We of the South are an integral part of this great country. We should stand ready to make every sacrifice demanded by honor and permitted by wisdom to remove the last vestige of an excuse for the perpetuation of that spirit of sectionalism which excludes us from the full participation in governmental honors to which our brain and character entitles us. Let us respect the National laws to the limit of endurance, and if that limit should be passed, let us resort to some means of redress more typical of Southern manhood than fraudulent subterfuge. The future material: prosperity of the South is already assured. Let us resolve that there shall remain, ingrained in the moral fiber of our New South the high standards of virtue that can best be described in the memorable words of Edmund Burke as "that possibility of principle, that chastity of honor which felt a strain like a wound." We cannot afford to sacrifice our ideas of law, of law and of religion for the purpose of preventing the Negro from elevating himself. If we wish to preserve the wide gap between our race and his in the onward progress of civilization, let us do it by lifting ourselves up, not by holding him down. If, as some predict, the Negro in the distant future must fail and fall by the wayside in the strenuous march of the nations, let him fall by his own inferiority, and not by our tyranny. Give him a fair chance to work out what is in his heart. Carl McKinley, the brilliant and noble-hearted author of "An Appeal to Pharah," who advocated so earnestly and so eloquently the impracticable policy of deportation, declared himself on this subject as follows: "We have learned by this time moreover, that we cannot treat the Negro with injustice, however disguised, without sharing the consequences with him. It would be a foul wrong to beat him back in his upward struggle, and consign him to a lower plane and establish him on it."

Mownton, Manager august 1919 ifications of meritorious individual mem- ber of that race, consider for a moment some of the changes we must make in the fundamental doctrines lying at the base of our government. The re- vised version of our political Bible wou- have to read something like this: "No taxation without representation—except as to Negroes"; "equal rights to all— except as to Negroes"; "all men are created equal—except as to Negroes." No Recitation of Jefferson's Doctrines. Some modern critics suggest that we should amend that paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, which asserts the equal rights of men, so as to adjust it more accurately to historical and scientific needs. But that epoch-making document needs a alteration upon the subject of human rights when interpreted as it was intended to be interpreted by the man who drafted it. Manionon, r. Jefferson did not write "All men are born free," as the quotation is sometimes born. That looser language is found in the Constitution of Massachusetts, not in the Declaration of Independence. Such an assertion would have been disproved by the historical fact of slavery then existing. What Mr. Jefferson wrote was; "All men are created equal." That is to say, not equal in exterior circumstances, nor in physical or mental attributes, but equal in the sight of God and just human life in their allenable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Americans were recitation of that declaration. It is the political corollary of the Christian doctrine of the justice and the Fatherhood of God. Let it stand as it was penned by Jefferson, as no nobling, even though unattainable, ideal, demanded by the spiritual nature of man—one of those ideas that have done more to lift up humanity and to build up civilization than all the gold from all the mines of all the world. MITCHELL IN AMERICAN BANKERS' ASSOCIATION Attended Convention at St. Louis—His Business in Richmond Sr. Louis, October 20.—John Mitchell, Jr., of Richmond was the only Afro-American delegate to the American Bankers' Association which met here this week. This is the third of these conventions he has attended. The Mechanics' Savings Bank of Richmond, Va., of which he is the president and founder, was incorporated November 20th, 1901, with a capital stock of $25,000. The institution does a general banking business, the scope of which is confined principally to the city of Richmond, and its depositors are mostly confined to the Afro-American people of that city. The aggregate amount of deposits received during the five years the bank has been doing business is $1,171,422.29. The bank owns two valuable stores on Broad street, the leading thoroughfare of Richmond, one valued at $13,500 and the other at $17,750; other real estate holdings of the bank in Richmond amount to $22,000, all of which is unfuncumbered. The bank receives deposits from 10 cents upward and has a balance of over $100,000. Its New York correspondent is the National Park Bank. Mr. Mitchell says, he has never had any cause to feel the slightest embarrassment during the three sessions of the Banker’s Convention that he has attended; but that, on the contrary, he has been with uniform courtesy by all the officers and members of the association whom he has been thrown in contact; he had found that his attendance in sessions of the convention have highly instructive and beneficial to him the conduct of his business. Mr. Mitchell is also the editor and proprietor of a weekly newspaper. The Plaset, which he began to publish twenty years ago, with a capital of $50. He now owns a complete modern publishing plant, valued at $15,000, which is operated by Afro-American printers and mechanics. He is a native of Richmond, 43 years of age, and received his education in the public schools of that city. ```markdown ``` Mr. and Mrs. A. L.

ALKANSIA, October 24.—A most emotional case was brought before the courts of Alexandria a few days ago when Thomas Brady, a white man, was for the second time put on trial for criminal assault. The victim of this white man's crime was Miss Laura Warren, a young woman of his own race. Brady proved himself a most daring criminal. He knew the young woman was stopping at a boarding house and waited for a chance to catch most of the inmates out. He then went to the house and representing himself as a deputy sheriff arrested the young woman under a bogus charge. He hurried her off and led her out of the town and into a cotton field, where according to the young woman's statement, she was most brutally assaulted by Brady. After his 'brutish act' Brady strolled leisurely back to 'town and entered a barroom, where he was soon taken into custody by the police and lodged in jail. At his trial three Afro-American women and a girl testified against the accused. The jury was not long in bringing out a verdict of guilty, and the judge sentenced Brady to be hung by the neck until dead. SHE SAW LEE SURRENDER TO GRANT AT APPOMATTOX Faithful Nurse, Buried by Family She Was Devoted To. PHILADELPHIA, October 29.—"Aunt Monie," a faithful old Afro-American woman, who saw General Lee surrender o General Grant at Appomattox, and who has been nurse and second mother in the family of the late Moses Engle and his wife ever since any of the present generation can remember, was buried last week in Eden cemetery. She died in the Home for Aged and Infirm Colored People, 44th street and Girard avenue, from paralysis brought on by too strenuous devotion to a daughter of the Engle household who lay ill for weeks and finally died. This young woman was one of "Aunt Monie's babies" and grief over her death told on the old woman even more than the exertion of nursing the patient. Ammonia Gibbs was "Aunt Monie's real name. She was 85 years old and was born on a South Carolina plantation. While she was still a child she was sold to a Southern soldier, Ben Green of Virginia, and she, remained on his plantation at Appomattox until after the war, when she went to live with the Engles in Richmond. When they returned to their Philadelphia home, 709 Parrish street, 'Aunt Monie' was brought along. The venerable old lady has often told your correspondent her story about Lee's surrender. The story is that she drew some water out of a well for Lee and Grant, handing the gourd first to Lee, who passed it to Grant. The Northern general drank, and "Aunt Monie" filled the gourd again for Lee. When he had satisfied his thirst, the wo passed on into history. She knew nearly all the leaders of the Confederacy, and they knew her, for the Green plantation was a rendezvous for all the big people of Virginia and the South. She had a lovable disposition and everybody loved her. The Engle family super-intended the funeral, and John, William and Henry Engle, every one of whom the old woman nursed and loved as though they were her own, carried the coffin to the grave, over which they will erect a monument to her memory. Power for Editor Chase LOUISVILLE. October 26.—Corresponding secretary L. G. Jordan speaking about the address to the country by the Afro-American Council, said: "The criticism of The Washington Ree was unwarranted, as some of the strongest men in the country were on the committee, among them being Dr. William Sinclair, Rev. Dr. C. S. Morris and Editor Chase. It seems that with the above intelligent men the address should have been so strong that Editor Chase would not have criticized the address as being weak.

Cobb, the minister of education either in the direction of reducing the Negroes to a permanent condition of serfdom—the condition of the mere plantation hand alongside the mule, practically without rights of citizenship; or a movement in the direction of reckoning him as a citizen in the full sense of the term." "Such a movement as that described in the first alternative is now in full program. In the South the conditions are badly in need of improvement, Negro. The manifestos of Governor Vardeman, which some time will be indored by the people of the State, and the recent campaign in Georgia, in which the candidate who most uniquely favored the repression of the Negro was overloaded, only cleared, show the drift of opinion in that section. "To keep 4,000,000 in slavery who were born and reared in that condition was one thing; to reduce 9,000,000 to serfdom after they have been fifty years free is quite another thing. Senator Tillman's prediction that race struggles of a very high proportion have been ongoing and continuous in the future is not without probability. I can see no other outcome of a strife of this nature but the segregation of the races. A portion of the Southern domain would have to be set apart for the blacks: we should probably have three or four States of which the population would be wholly composed of whites, in the Congress at Washington. The blacks would suffer by being thrown on their own resources in their poverty; it would take them several generations to work out the problem of civilization. To the whites the prosperity in which they are now rejoicing would suffer a severe, perhaps a deadly blow. It is idiotic of deporting the Negroes to other country; they are here, and here they must stay, and their home will be in the Southern portion of the United States." SAYS WAS GAGGED AND BOUND BY BEEF TRUST AGENTS Investigating Mam's Story Who Saw Hams Dectored for Market. PHILADELPHIA, October 29—The premature disclosure of what is known by Henry Spencer, an Afro-American, who says that for years he was in charge of the department in the Armour packing house in Chicago where hams and other meats are treated with chemical fertilizers, is featured officials of the Diary and Food Department to have robbed them of most valuable evidence in their fight against the packers who have been recently arrested on the charge of having sold poisoned hams in this section. Spencer, who brought with him on Saturday Samuel Mooney, a deputy constable, is also an Afro-American, from New York, who proved that he had been let bound and placed in a house in Snow Hill, and declared that for some months he has been hounded by agents of his former employers. His remarkable tale was ordered to be investigated by Commissioner Warren of this city, by his special counsel, D. C. Gibboney, and by all the agents of the Dairy and Food Department. While he was investigating the agents of the Chicago packing firm, Mr. Gibboney and Dr. Warren feel that the case should be fully investigated before making any serious charges. There are many of the features of Spencer's story that bear the elements of truth. it is asserted by the Dairy and Food Department by Mr. Gibboney and by the Service of the Dairy and Food Department Commissioner to-day. After telling of his hard luck since his discharge from the Armour abattoir and of his being permitted to work only a few days since that time. He said that while in Camden he was approached by two men who said he was a criminal. He meanwhile they treated to beer. After drinking he became unconscious, and when he next regained consciousness he found himself bound with wire rope and his coat tied over his head. How long he lay in that condition he does not know, but was finally discovered by the constable, and then he was been persecuted in every place he was located in Chicago. The tale has an intertwined both Mr. Gibboney and Dr. Warren that they have ordered a thorough investigation. MOTHER A. M. B. R. HONCHURCH West 80th St. bw. Cleveland and Amherst Rev. J. H.

In commenting upon President Roosevelt's action in sending a telegram of condolence and a floral offering to the family of the South, he did not forget an episode which concerned the husband of the dead woman. In one of Mr. Roosevelt's early books we bitter references to Mr. Davis, to which he took exception on matters of fact, and wrote to Mr. Roosevelt requesting that a correction be made. This resulted in the returning of Mr. Davis's letter to these words written to Mr. Theodore, who wrote to have no communication with Mr. Jefferson Davis." So that incident was emphatically closed. When President Roosevelt his tour through a portion of the South and the Southwest last year, he was called upon by newspapers of the South to make amends for that youthful action, but nothing came of it. Now it is being said that the conduct of the President toward the bereaved family of the South to make amends it, "this was not apologizing." The State newspaper of Columbia, S. C., adds to this comment:— "And so let it be. Mr. Roosevelt has done the best that he found himself able to do. We may regret, for Mr. Roosevelt's own sake, that he did not have the courage to say in words what he has expressed by indirection, but let that be. He has indicated his regret; he has apologized 'in his way.'"

Baskerville has made himself by his usefulness an indispensable factor in the organization with which he is identified. He has been a member of the Brooklyn Fountain G. F. U. O. of T. R. for twelve years; five years he was special deputy and for six years chief of Brooklyn division, during which time he organized eight fountains, a large class membership and stock members. In October, 1837, he was appointed chief of the New York division and deputy for the ```markdown ``` S. H. BASKERVILLE. State of New Jersey. Through unceasing efforts this work was brought up to the standard desired—twenty subordinate and Rosebud fountains were organized and the class department membership was increased. The Jersey City division has been added to his Newark work which necessitates his covering more territory than any other chief in the Northern grand division. Mr. Baskerville is a good lecturer and organizer for his order.

Jesus of Nazareth Had a Trade. From The Nastellie Clark The student Jaswahil it is a part of their legal as well as their moral code that every Jewish child should have a trade. It was in conformity to this law that Jesus Christ worked at the capenner's bench between the age of twelfth and thirteenth. Negroes might profit by this worthy example. Every boy in the race should be taught a trade, and should be made to pursue that until he has reached the years of maturity. The bearded, indigent, ignorant man in the race who has nothing to do, and could do nothing, if he had the chance, is the indolent wretch that makes such cruel calamities for the whole race of people. Our condition would be improved most wonderfully if every young Negro was required by law to have a trade and by both law and society to stick to that trade until he becomes self-support
