Not Wanted in White Schools—In Governmental Campaign New Race issue Bobs Up NEW ORLEANS, November 1.—The campaign for Governor in Minneapolis, now under way, seems likely to turn upon a race issue, but a race issue in which the federal government covered. The federal quarter has suddenly come to the front as the principal theme of discussion. The Afro-American has so far been barely mentioned in the campaign speeches, and the general sentiment is that the race question, as far as the Afro-American is concerned, is settled. Gov. Vardaman is about the only man of prominence who thinks otherwise. His announcement that he intends, to make the campaign for United States Senator against John Sharp Williams on the race issue and the repeal of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments has not called forth a ripple of response. By the primary law the nominations are left entirely to the voters, no political convention of any kind being allowed. The candidates have therefore to go directly before the voters. The last campaign lasted two years, that time being required to enable the candidates to visit every one of the seventy-six counties. The present campaign has been shortened to seventeen months, the candidates having announced themselves in July, 1908, and the election being held in November, 1807. Seven candidates came out for Governor and the campaign was opened—this would have been impossible in any State except Minnesota—at a small county fair at Philadelphia, a village of a few hundred miles, from a railroad. Here all seven candidates spoke each giving his view of the situation, nor were all Democrats there was cannage variety in their views. Then just last few weeks the Italian has deeply bobbed up as a new race question for Minnesota to solve. Introduction of this issue is attributed to Charles Scott of Rosedale, who is generally regarded as the strongest candidate in the field. Mr. Scott is a result of the Xasoo delta, where the population is overwhelmingly black. He is man of wealth, education and refinement. In the delta the great question is that of labor. There is not and never has been enough labor. The Afro-Americans are leaving the cotton plantations, and it is been impossible to get other labor in the stead. Mr. Scott suggests that Italian labor be employed as in the adjacent States of Louisiana and Arkansas, and he has thus brought before the voters the question. Do you want the Italian in preference to or as a supplement to the black man? And if he is brought to the question he does not status? The issue he presented itself more vigorously as the campaign has progressed, and it looks now as though the election of 1907 in Mississippi would be a referendum as to whether the Italian is wanted or not. Mr. Scott is the chief advocate of Italian immigration. Judge Truly and Mr. Brewer argue vigorously against "the low-browed Italian." The other candidates are apparently investigating the subject before committing themselves. Two have come to New York into the Italian situation and found it very satisfactory. Indeed it is the success of Louisiana with Italian labor which has made Mr. Scott so eager to adopt the same labor for his own State. There are probably 60,000 Italians in Louisiana, and all are doing well. When the Duke of Aosta on his recent visit to New Orleans gave $5,000 to the Italian poor of the city, the money was returned to him by the Italian Consul and the Italian societies with the information that there was not an Italian in New Orleans who needed assistance. The Italian can get work the day he lands here, and he begins saving money first week. At their arrival Italian们 go to work on sugar plantations, they are rapidly displacing the mericans, proving more efficient in sweet. at or ten years they have saved heat, go into business or to buy a batha miles around New Orleans going into the truck farming mans and are prospering. In New Orleans they have crowded into nearly every line of industry, and into every profession. In the cane fields the Italian has shown himself a good worker. A tradition comes from slavery days that the Afro-American band is more preensale than that of the whites and is better suited for cotton picking, and also that there is some subtle bond of sympathy between the Afro-American and the mule, which enables the Afro-American to handle a mule better than a white man. The Italian has disproved that tradition. For the last few years the Italians have been pouring into the cotton country and into Mississippi through the Yasoo tola, shall this immigration be continued, encouraged and extended? This is be question which the voters of Mississippi will be asked to pass on. Mr. Scott strongly advocates this imml- ration, pointing to the success of Louis- lan, formerly an Afro-American State, at set with a white jihadist con- servative group. The Italian will apply the deficiency of labor in willegalism and enable it to develop its means. The arguments on the other side are mainly three of population. The white population of Mississippi is probably the most popular Anglo-Saxon in this country and there prevails something of the old Know Nothing prejudice against this heretofore unknown Latin nack. There are several special complaints. The Italian in 1905 argued much prejudice against himself as being the chief means of transporting pallow fever through Louisiana and Mississippi. Again, it has been argued that the Italian, because he is a competitor with the Afro-America working by his side in the fields on terms of equality, may fraternize with the blacks and that there may arise a race of mulato Italians, introducing a new and dangerome element into the already troublesome race problem. But such fears have proved groundless. The Italian soon adopts the prevailing Southern sentiment on the race question. In a concrete form in Bollivar county, the blackest county in the State: a few days ago, when the school board complained to the Superintendent of Public Education that a number of Italian children were attending the white school. This, it was announced, was objected to by the parents of the white children. The board asked Supt. Whitfield whether it would be justified under the law in establishing separate schools for the Italians, dividing the school children into three races, white, or Caucasian, Italian and Negroes, it will be seen that rural sentiment of Mississippi rules the Italian out of the Caucasian race. The superintendent replied that the State Constitution recognized only separate white and Negro schools, and declared that the Italian must be regarded as a white man. REVOLTING CHARGES AT TRIAL OF ATLANTA PIOTER Seeing Slaim Afro-American Said "That Nigger Looks Good to Me." ATLANTA, October 30—George W. Blackstock was put upon trial yesterday morning in the superior court before Judge Roan, charged with assault to murder Mattie Adams of 197 Peters street on the night of the riot of September 22, aftermath the jury had failed to reach an agreement, and Judge Roan instructed the jury to return a seized verdict as soon as one could be agreed upon. A mistrial may result. Mattie Adams, an Afro-American woman, and her daughter, Alice Kelly, testified that when they heard the mob approaching they closed the door to their restaurant, which they have conducted for twenty years. With the news of "Let's kill every damn Niger we see," the mob halted at their door, the woman declared, and Blackstock broke out the window pane, thrust his hand inside and removed the bar which fastened the door, rushing in and felling the old woman to the floor with a wagon spoke. She attempted to rise, the witnesses said, and Sherman Carr knocked her down again with a salt pitcher. In the meantime, as testified to by her, she was arrested for wearing a white hat, indulged in some target practice, shooting with a revolver at Alice Kelly's young son, and others broke up the show cases and furniture. Alice Kelly also stated that she recognized John Gillette as one of the mob which entered their place. Blackstock attempted to establish an alibi, proving by several witnesses that he was at East Point, and, later, at Oakland City up to a 4 o'clock that when he arrived at the corner of Broad and Marietta street at 11:40 o'clock. However, the Afro-American women testified that the mob sacked their place between 12 and 14 lock, and C. C. Mayson, of Oakland City, swore that Blackstock-in speaking at that place of the riot in the city, said: "Come on, boys; let go to town and get us a nigger." Detective T. B. Lanford swore that he saw Blackstock shortly after 2 o'clock in the morning, swearing looking at the body of the Afro-American killed at that place, and heard him remark: "That Niger looks good to me." Blackstock, who was defended by Harvey Hill, made a statement denying that he participated in any manner in the rioting of that night. RACE ROT AFTER MOB TRIES TO SHOOT PRISONER Afro-Americans Attack White Men and Kill One. HATTIESBURG, Miss., November 5.—At least two men were fatally wounded when about 500 shots were fired in a race riot at Wiggins, Miss., thirty-five miles south of here, Sunday afternoon and night. William, Smith, an Afro-American, resisted arrest and fired on Marshall Quarrels and Deputy Mitchell, fatally wounding him. The latter escaped to jail, hove the detained the doors and windows, and defied capture until a mob threatened to burn the house. After surrendering he was locked in the village jail. Late last night a mob used dynamite on the jail, fired several volleys into his cell, and left him for dead. While the mob was storming the jail a large crowd of Afro-Americans came upon the scene and began firing. Several Afro-Americans was fatal injured. have been shot. This morning Smith was found alive in the jail; but his arms had to be amputated. Rev. Drew Elected President. WASHINGTON, October 28.—The Negro Baptist Evangelist Convention closed its annual convention to-day. Rev. Simon P. W. Drew was elected president. The next session will meet in Philadelphia in October, 1907. Stillings Makes Promotions. WASHINGTON, November 2.—Public Printer C. A. Stillina is all right. Out of 20 Afro-American compositors under him he has placed 8 in charge of monotype machine—Ira T. Bryant, W. T. Menard, A. A. Martin, W. E. Cobb, Edgar Smith, G. W. Shad, C. W. Williams and B. S. Wobb NEW YORK, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1986. LIFE SENTENCE FOR NUMBER OF ATLANTA POLICEMAN Alex Walker Declared His Innocence— Appeal Denied. ATLANTA, November S.—Alex. Walter, the Brownville Afro-American, who was put on trial in the superior court Tuesday morning, charged with the murder of County Palicman J. L. Heard, was found guilty yesterday afternoon by the jury, with a recommendation to sentence Walker to life imprisonment and a motion for a new trial was immediately filed by his attorneys. J. D. Kilpatrick, leading counsel for the convicted man, asserted that the case would be eventually taken to the Supreme Court of the United States, should the State Supreme Court sustain the verdict of the trial court. The evidence in the case was concluded yesterday morning, immediately after which J. D. Kilpatrick, attorney for the defense, moved the court to exclude all evidence that the officers acted in their official capacity. The act creating the office of inspector of roads and bridges was specifically attached as unconstitutional on the ground that it was a special and not a general law, and that the act contained matter as to the appointment and salary of inspectors of roads and bridges not mentioned in the caption. Judge Roan held that the act was a general law; it was a constitutional Walker stated that he was a porter at the New Kimball hotel and lived at Brownville. He admitted coming out of his house when the firing, in which Heard met death, occurred, but declared that he immediately recognized the officers and ran back in his house, without using a weapon, fearing that he would be killed. CHARGES IN NORTH GEORGIA Foreigners Alleged to Be the Victims This Time. ATLANTA, November 1.—The Federal grand jury for the northern district of Georgia is now investigating charges of peonage brought against a number of citizens of this State as the result of an investigation which has been conducted by Assistant Attorney-General Charles W. Russell, who has been in Georgia for the past ten days. The investigation has brought to light by the presence around the Federal building yesterday of a number of foreigners who claim to have been held in bondage by Georgians living down the West Point road. From Newman and other points in that section have also come reports of the investigations being made by the government. It is understood that Assistant Attorney-General Russell has been sent out by the special direction of President Roosevelt and in this connection it will be remembered that an effort to faster charge peonage on a number of prominent Georgians after resolving them by government attorneys two years ago, but the crusade proved unsuccessful. It seems that the result of the investigations made at that time did not satisfy the officials of the department of justice, for the effort is now being renewed. The Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railway has a lot of trouble with laborers which it has brought to Georgia to work on its line. Many of these men, after making contracts to work out their railroad fare, have proceeded to jump the train and be robbed. Railroad officials who tried to force these laborers to live up to the agreements they had made found themselves facing charges of peonage. A peculiar fact is that the present investigation is said to relate entirely to alleged illegal imprisonment of foreigners who have been brought to Georgia by immigration agencies. The crusade of two years ago was made in the interest of Afro-Americans who claimed that they were held without due process of law. AFRO-AMERICANS DECIDE KENTUCKY ELECTION At Least 15,000 Have Registered as Democrat. LEXINGTON, Ky., November 4. —Whether James B. McCreary or Gov. J. C. W. Beckham wins the Senatorial nomination at Tuesday's primary, he may own his success to the Afro-American vote of Kentucky. There are between 15,000 and 20,000 Afro-Americans in the State registered as Democrats and they will vote or their names will be voted in the primary. In Lexington alone 1,500 Afro-Americans have registered as Democrats, against 4,400 at previous elections. Registration is required in all towns, and it is charged by the McCreary manages that the "machine" or Beckham people have bought the registration certificates of these Afro-Americans and will vote them. The McCreary people threaten to take the matter to the courts or to checkmate the attempts to cast the vote by force at the polls. If the latter plan is resorted to there is likely to be trouble. Chairman Knaufman said to night that these Afro-Americans had unquestionable right to vote as Democrats, but the McCreary men claim many of the names registered are fictitious. Organize Mercantile Company RED SPRINGS, N. C., November 2—Under the leadership of Rev. J. J. Stubbus, leading Afro American here have organized a joint stock company for the purpose of conducting a mercantile business. Dragged to Death by Cowboys. ROWNELL, N. M., November 1—"Slah" Pitts, an Afro-American, was lynched by cowboys at Toyah, Tex., last week. The accessory, a white woman, followed Pitts to Toyah, and they were living together. The cowboys went in the night and placed a rope around the neck of their victim. He was dragged to death and then hanged. SOLDIERS DISCHARGED Troopers Form Compact Never to Divulge Who Killed WASHINGTON, November 6.—By order of President Boosevelt, acting upon a report made to him by Brig.-Gen. E. A. Garlington, Inspector-General of the army, every man may be bagnies B. C, and D of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, the American regiment, will be discharged without honor from the army and forever debarred from re-enlisting in the army or the navy, as well as from employment by the Government in any civil capacity. The action is one of the most drastic ever taken by the President and is sure to cause a sensation throughout the servicemen the refusal of members of the battalion to be sent toington or to their immediate superiors in the men implicated in the shooting of citizens at Brownville, Texas, near Fort Brown, where the troops were stationed on August 13, led the Inspector-General to recommend the discharge of all the men and the President concurred. On August 13 some of the enlisted men of the battalion which is to be so summarily punished, engaged in a disturbance in Brownville which resulted in the killing of one citizen, and the death of the town was so badly wounded that he lost an arm. The case dragged along and finally Gen. Garlington went to Texas to make a personal investigation. Full opportunity was given the men to tell "all that it is reasonable to believe they know concerning the shooting." It was impossible to fix the guilt. Gen. Garlington says in his report that the men appear to have been the detection of the guilty, and that for the reason they should stand together the penalty falls. The following is the concluding portion of Gen. Garlington's report, which embodies the recommendations that, by direction of the President, will be carried into effect, immediately by the War Department: I recommend that orders be issued as soon as practicable discharging, without honor, every man in companies B, C, and D of the Twenty-third infantry, serving at Fort Brown, Tex., on the night of August 13, 1906, and forever debarring them from re-enlisting in the army or navy of the United States, as well as from employment in any civil capacity under the Government. In making this recommendation I recognize the fact that a number of men who have no direct knowledge of the military, and who are eighty-five, Infantry who actually fired the shot on the night of August 13, 1906, will incur this extreme penalty. "It has been established by careful investigation beyond reasonable doubt that the firing into the houses of the citizens of Brownsville while the inhabitants thereof were pursuing their peaceful vocation or sleeping and by which one citizen was killed and the chief of police seized sound, the heist of an arm was done by a distinguished men of the fifth Infantry, belonging to the battalion station at Fort Brown. After due opportunity and notice the enlisted men of the Twenty fifth Infantry have failed to tell all that is reasonable to believe they know concerning the shooting. If they had done so, if they had been willing to relate all the circumstances—inattainces preliminary to the trouble—it is extremely probable that a die sufficiently definite wound would have been closed. They appear to stand together in a determination to resist the detection of the guilty; therefore they should stand together when the penalty falls. "A forceful lesson should be given to the army at large, and especially to the non-commissioned officers, that their duty does not cease upon the drill ground with the calling of the company rolls, making check inspections and other duty of formal duties, and that the officers of office accompany them everywhere and at all times, that it is their duty to become thoroughly acquainted with the individual members of their respective units, to know their characteristics, to be able at all times to gauge their temper, in order to discover the beginning of discontent or of mutinous intentions, and to anticipate any organized act of disorder; that they must notify their officers at once if they are in danger of being attacked by people of the United States wherever they live, must feel assured that the men wearing the uniform of the army are their protectors and not midnight assassins or riotous disturbers of the peace of the community in which they may be stationed." This action of President Roosevelt is sure to arouse the bitterest surprise and anger everywhere among Afro-Americans. They believe that the American soldiers have here in return to betray their commander in unfairly certain death, and that they are merely another sacrifice offered by the President upon the altar of Southern race prejudice. If is said the soldiers have entered into a compact never to divulge the evidence. Joe Brown Pursued the Judge. DEAN MOINES, November 2.—Attorney S. Joe Brown raised a peculiar point of law last week. In defending two, men whose father in a Caucasian and mother an Afro-American, he declared that the boys were not Afro-American, but Caucasian. He claimed that the father gave the standing of the children; if he were Caucasian the children would be Caucasians, and if he were an Afro-American so would the children be. He cited so many cases that the Judge deferred his decision. Couldn't Deliver the Goods in His Own Election District. "The worthiness of Messrs. Keith and Watson as political managers was strikingly shown Tuesday in the 18th election district of the 9th Assembly district. The 18th, which includes 7th street between 8th and 9th avenues, has been for years the star Republican district of the 9th, and has gone Republican usually by from 150 to 200. In this district live Keith, Watson, Drayton, "Mark Hanna," and Wineglass, all opponents of the Regular Organization led by Dr. P. A. Johnson. Never theless, with all these men on the job, Hughes carried the district by only 20 votes, and McKee and Waite, local candidates for Assembly and Senate, were in Toledo. In Toledo, Aro-American district McKee and Waite were severely cut. McKee ran over 400 behind his ticket in the whole district. When the returns from the 18th election district were carried to Mr. Windolph he became very excited. "Hotten!" he ejaculated, "the rottenest I ever heard of!" His words and looks boded no good for Keith & Co., who, in the words of "Mark Hanna," had fervently promised him to "liver de goods." The Regular Organization will continue itsious campaign for enrollment and expects to be a strong member. The campaign for "Decency Against Graft" continues to spread like wild fire in the district. PROFESSOR OF LUMBERING Endowment Fund of $150,000 Being Raised. NEW HAVEN, Conn., November 1.—It was announced to day that a full "professor of lumbering" will be appointed at Yale as soon as an endowment fund of $150,000 is raised by the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association for a chair of practical lumbering at the forest school at the university. Arrangements have been made to work in the department has been started. Thetee in charge consisting of N. W. McLeod of St. Louis, C. I. Millard of Chicago, and F. E. Weyerhaeuser of St. Paul. DUNBAR HOSPITAL IN PETERSBURG DEDICATED J. Thomas Newsome Orater of the Occasion. PETERSHURG, Va., November 1.—The hospital enterprise started by the Afro-American citizens of this city about twelve months ago has reached the point of the opening of the building, which was dated to the closure of humanity on last Tuesday evening with appropriate exercises. J. M. Wilkerson presided. The music was conducted by Major W. H. Johnson. The opening address was made by Dr. Alexander, chairman of the board of directors, who briefly sketched the work, showing that $224 had been collected from all sources. Dr. Alexander introduced Dr. Scott of Newport News to introduce Lawyer J. Thomas Newsome, who was the orater of the occasion and made a brilliant address. FARMERS' CONGRESS HOLDS' THIRD ANNUAL SESSION Presiding Elder Responsible for Its Organization. LENINGTON, Ky., November 1.—One or two years ago the need of a concerted action and of a union for council and instruction on the part of the farmers of this section was felt. The idea of putting such a needed"organization on foot was conceived by Rev. L. M. Haygood, presiding elder of the M. E. church, and it was principally through his efforts that the Farmers' Congress is a reality. The third annual meeting of the Congress being held this week at New Zion, its birthplace. The farmers and their wives and the presachers and the teachers of this neighborhood have manifested great interest in the work and all take an active part in all the discussions that come up in the deliberations of the body. COLOR LINE DRAWN IN PITTSBURG HIGH SCHOOL Afro-American Girls Refuse to Sit at "Jim Crow" Table. PITTSBURG, October 5.—A race war is brewing among the girls at the McKeenport high school, in which there are three Afro-American girl pupils. The white girls refused to sit at the same table with the Afro-American pupils and the school officials provided a separate table to which the three pupils were assigned and the white pupils were content. Joanette Taylor insisted upon sitting at the general table with the white girls. When her demand was refused she left the school. Led by Rev. A. M. Patterson, an Afro-American preacher, Miss Taylor protested to Superintendent J. B. Richey and Principal E. S. Day. They were told that the lunch room was crowded and when an extra table was provided the Afro-American girls were told to sit there. No white girls used this table. The Afro-Americans insist that their pupils be given places at the table with the white girls. The white girls say they will not submit. The Negroes win we will quit the school" in the threat of the white girls, and it is understood that a general strike will follow to force them to eat their lunch at the same girls at the Afro-American girls. There are several Afro-American boys in the school who sit beside the white boys at lunch. It is feared the color line will also be drawn by the boys. HUGHES OVERCOMES HEARST BY OVER 60,000 Republicans Retain Control of House of Representatives by Majority of 68—Hughes Owes Election to-Roosevelt "New Idea" Trimphant in New York State Politics—Beas Murphy Only Democrat Who Seems to Have "Got His"—Judicary Nominators Lose—Hearst to Try Again The most audacious and brilliant assault ever made by a demagogue upon a high office in America was repelled Tuesday when Charles Evan Hughes defeated William Randolph Hearst for Governor of New York. For two years Mr. Hearst has been incessantly and cleverly at work, through his all-pervading newspapers and through organization up the State, building up a personal machine, especially among the laboring classes, which would hoist him into the Governor's chair at Albany, and thence, perhaps, into the White House. Now Mr. Hearst sees his costly edifice of hopes and ambitions crumbled in ruins about his feet. He announces that he will begin at once the weary and disheartening task of rebuilding. Mr. Hearst's personality and ambitions are epoch-making and portentous in American history. The narrowness of his defeat—he lost by only 66,375 votes—may incite still other demagogues in the future to attempt success where he failed. It was from the wealthy and brilliant demagogue Alcibiades that the Republic of Athens received its death blow. Monroe Counties, in all of which he had confidently counted on beating his opponent. Albany went against him. Westchester gave Hughes the remarkable plurality of 6,500, Onsager contributed 8,500, Chautauqua 6,000, St. Lawrence, Ulster, Onelda, Rennsellar, Orange, Owwego, Broome, Greene Herkimer, Jefferson, Montgomery, Fulton, Washington and Wayne all added to the total in the Hughes column. Hughes carried all the up-State counties with the exception of Chemung, which gave Hearst 300 plurality; Hamilton, which gave him 116, Niagara, which gave him 300 plurality, and Schohair, where the Democratic candidate got a plurality of 230. Two years ago Chemung gave Higgins a plurality of 1,180, and the Democratic plurality in Schohair was 408. Erie County, Democratic State Chairman Conner's stronghold, which the Hearst forces had been claiming by 5,000, went for Hughes by about 1,500. Among other counties in which the factory vote is very large and which went against Schohair, Mr. Hughes, the next Governor, has never been in politics before and was forced upon the Republican Convention at Saratoga by President Rosevelt through Congressman Herbert Parsons. Mr. Hughes is famous here and in Europe for his implacable investigation of the Insurance Companies, resulting in the death of one insurance president, the exile of another, and the retirement of a third; in the ruin in reputation of many high in politics and finance. Under his administration thorough and ruthless reform throughout the State is to be expected. He represents admirably the "New Idea" in politics, that in this Bald decency and honesty should prevail as much as in any other. Mr. Hearat tremendously in Greater New York, especially in Manhattan. He went on to the Bronx with a plurality of 71,776. He even carried Kings county against both the Republicans and Senator McCarren. Chief Charles F. Murphy of Tammany Hall seems about the only one in the Hearat deal who "got his." The Democratic judges completely swamped the Judiciary Nominator's ticket. Herbert Parsons was re-elected to Congress from the 13th Congressional District by nearly 5,000 votes. Jacob Van Vechten Olcott deflected John J. Halligan in the 15th by about 500 votes. William S. Bennett was re-elected to Congress from the 17th District by about 1,200 votes. The victors are all Republicans with exemplary records on the race problem. The Republicans will retain control of the House of Representatives in the Sixteenth Congress by a big majority. The indications are that they will have 227 members, against 159 Democrats, a majority of 68. One Socialist was elected in Illinois. The expected heavy Republican losses in Congress were not realized. In the present house the Republican majority is 112. In the two Assembly districts in New York county containing the largest numbers of Afro-American voters—namely, the 9th and the 13th—the Democrats were overwhelmingly victorious. Hundreds of Afro-Americans seem to be voting the Democratic ticket. In the 9th Assembly district the candidates for Assemblyman and Senator were severely cut in every so-called Afro-American election district. It is charged by some that the Afro-Americans took this way of showing their disapproval of Leader Windelph's apparent determination to stand by the notorious and incipient Kelth, right or wrong. Early Tuesday evening the drift of the voting began to show itself. At 6:45 o'clock it was seen that in spite of the fact that the returns coming in were those from the manufacturing centers, most favorable to Hearnt, the Hearnt vote in the city would be unable to offset the plurality for Hughes up the State. This was confirmed by later returns, and by 9 o'clock the result, if it ever was in doubt, was no longer. Hearst carried New York city by 71, 750 plurality. Four years ago Coler had 122,000 plurality in the greater city, and Hearst early in the day had expected to beat Coler's vote. He did not even equal the plurality of 80,131 given by the city for Herrick in 1902. The city vote for Hearst was insufficient for a moment to stem the tide of up-State ballots for Hughes. The Republican candidate reached the Bronx with a plurality of 128,601. Odell, in 1902, had only 131,000 plurality up. State; Higgins two years ago reached the Bronx with 180,000 plurality. Hearst lost Eric, Schectady, and Monroe Counties, in all of which he had confidently counted on beating his opponent. Albany went against him. Westchester gave Hughes the remarkable plurality of 6,500, Ononage contributed 8,500, Chautauqua 6,000, St. Lawrence, Ulster, Onelida, Rensselaer, Orange, Oswego, Broome, Greene Herkimer, Jefferson, Montgomery, Fulton, Washington and Wayne all added to the total in the Hughes column. Hughes carried all the up-State counties with the exception of Chemung, which gave Heart 300 plurality; Hamilton, which gave him 116, Niagara, which gave him 300 plurality, and Schobarie, where the Democratic candidate got a plurality of 250. Two years ago Chemung gave Hughes a plurality of 1,180, and the Democratic plurality in Schoharie was 405. Erie County, Democratic State Chairman Conner's stronghold, which the Heart forces had been claiming by 5,000, went for Hughes by about 1,500. Among other counties in which the factory vote is very large and which went against Heart, Schenectady gave a lessened plurality compared with two years ago, but is still in the Republican column by 900 votes. Albany County gave Hughes a plurality of 6,000, a gain of nearly 2,000 votes over Higgins' plurality in 190f. In the city of Buffalo Heart ran 1,402 votes behind his ticket. An interesting indication of the composition of his vote up State was seen in this vote. Of the 32,072 ballots cast in Buffalo for Heart, only 1,170 went into the Independence League column. The returns also showed that in Poughkeepsie Heart ran behind his ticket. Schenectady City with its vast array of workmen in the shops of the General Electric Company and the Amre Locomotive Company, supposed to be unfaltering in their allegiance to Heart as the true friend of labor, gave Hughes a plurality of 378. Give Him 25 Lames for Accounting White Women. ROCKMART. Ga., November 2.—While Mrs. James Long of Rockmart was driving along the public road Monday, she was accosted by an Afro-American named Hezekiah Green. Mrs. Long whipped up her horse and escaped. Cotterday a number of citizens, both white and called on Green for a reckoning. A jury was convened, posed of two whites and three blacks, who, after a trial, decided that twenty-five lashes must be the punishment. The hickory was made on by Charley Newman, an Afro-American citizen. Ike Young, Urich Tolbut and old "Uncle Graves" and Charley Newman are the Afro-Americans who propose to protect white women of their community. The have assured the Rockmart people that the girl would look after the matter if white ladies are insulted in their community. Their conduct is generally commended by the white people of Rockmart. Thirty Manked Men Shot Afro-American to Death. WRIGHTSVILLE, Ga., November 5.—Bailiff J. L. Highlighter last night sought to arrest an Afro-American, William Newsome, seven miles from Highlighter, and Joan and Joe. John and Ernest Carter, went with him. Newsome resisted in his house, and Highlighter called for assistance. Carter ran in and Newsome fired a shotgun, killing him. Then Highlighter fired upon Newsome with a pistol, wounding him twice. Highlighter and Mason started with the At-Summer's Bridge, over Choque River, about thirty armed and disguised men halted them and shot Newsome to death. Fugitive Blotter Caught. ATLANTA. November 1.—A telegram was received last evening by Sheriff Nelms from the police authorities of St. Louis to the effect that Lyden E. Fain had been arrested in that city. A mar will be sent there to bring the prison by the Fulton County jail jury being implicated in the riot. On Sunday, September 23, the r after the riot, it is charged that pushed an Afro-American off the walk on North Pror street, new Marion hotel, and shot him in the The day after he was indicted by grand jury he left the city.

Pilipinas Shocked by American Atrocity—Why Didn't Vic-[time Defend Themselves] MANIKA, P. I., September 24.—"Fifteen Negroes shot down to-day by a pose of white men at Atlanta," read telegraphic despatches from the United States today. "White Women Revenged," read the bold, black type conveying the news to the Philippine public from the pages of the papers in English idiom. "In defense of the sacred fire-side and the cherished honor," explain the lines that follow, and men walk up and down the streets and in their places of business, muttering imprecations and shaking sulled heads; or glorying in their silence in the daring of the mob, but looking thither and whither for the ominous sign of the something the very pall of silence tells them is in the air. My Filipino editor friend reads the cause of my perturbation, and asks if it is true! I assure him that the despatches do not lie as to the slaughter, and his surprise becomes so reply and sorrow. "But it cannot be as the papers state?" he interjects. "For assaulting the women of the whites. I mean." "Senor, black men do not prey upon women," I manace to reply, and shake my head in silence. "Explain," he cries. "They are a Christian people, the whites in this Atlanta, no!" Silently I look at him long and straight in the face. "Tell me, man, of the massacre—and the charge!" "No massacre, senor, is true." "The other?" he demands. "One subterfuge, senor, is sometimes better than another." "Subterfuge! Do they shoot black men down like that in America and then give to the world a life to hide their dastardly—their barbarism?" "Senor, you do not know America," I manage to utter amy angulh. "Tell me the cause behind such acts," he urges. "Hate of race," I tell. "And what does the great American government do to protect the black race from these murders?" "Nothing!" I scarcely made audible. "And the black men—what do they do?" I know of no colored race but that of America that would gulp down such dastardly outrages as Springfield, Chattanooga and Atlanta, and continue to smile. Now one race that should an Atlanta hape to it, God pity Atlanta! Ask Russia. COL. PITCHER IN TROUBLE WITH THE PRESIDENT Must Report on Alleged Siura Against Afro-American Troops. WASHINGTON. November 6.—President Roosevelt has directed that the War Department investigate the accuracy of a published interview in which Col. William L. Pitcher, Twenty-seventh Infantry, stationed at Sheridan, near a neighborhood expressed disappointment as a squadron of Afro-American cavalry has been sent to Fort Sheridan for station. If the interview was accurate the War Department is directed to take proceedings against Col. Pitcher for such punishment as may be inflicted. Col. Pitcher was quoted as follows: "The Negro troops would never have been quartered at Fort Sheridan without proper training and military command," said Col. Pitcher. "I never liked them and the further away from me they are kept the better it pleases me. For the life of me I cannot see why the nited States should try to make soldiers nation States should try to make soldiers of them. Certainly there are enough white young men in this big country make soldiers without recruiting from them in letter from the White House to the Department said: the President directs that an immediate be called for from Col. Pitcher whether or not he is correctly in the enclosed clipping, and if he directly quoted the President directs proceedings he taken against him for punishment as can be inflicted. President thinks such conduct is but better than that of the offending troops themselves. The first of a series of recitals to be given by the Cartier avenue branch of the Y. M. C. A. in Brooklyn was held in Memorial hall of the Young Women's Christian Association on Sutherland's street at Third avenue on Monday evening of this week. Mr. Clarence Cameron White, the popular violinist of Washington, D. C., made his first appearance before a Brooklyn audience since his return from his European tour, and he was received with open arms. The recital was given in aid of the Association's current expenses, since the work of the Branch is supported entirely from membership fee, voluntary contributions and entertainments. The program of the recital Monday night began with gn overture by the Branch orchestra. Prof. F. K. Pine is the director. There was a chorus by the Male Quartet of the Branch, selections by the Amphibion Mandolin and Guitar club and a reading from Dunbairn's "The Party," by Secretary R. P. Hamlin. Mr. White received an ovation when he came upon the platform. His first selection was Hansen's "Hungarian Rhapsodie," which he played with a master hand. Mr. Melville Charlton was his accompanist and sustained his reputation as a musician of the first rank. There appeared at this recital a new soprano violin, Miss I. L. Moorman, who has a strong voice, wide range. Miss Moorman sang several selections and received an encore and a beautiful bouquet of poses. Mr. W. R. Sang Verdi's "Coleste Aide" with good effect, but his tenor was a little weak. In part two of the program the orchestra played and Willie Smith, the boy tenor, won the audience with his sweet, childish voice. Mr. White's selections were Pohm's "Legend" and "Serenada" from Pieri, for which he received three encores. His last piece was Mylnarkaki's "Polonaize." The closing selection was by the choir of the Concord Baptist church, led by Prof. P. Albert Myers, from Shelley's "Hark My Soul." Mr. White's stage manner is engaging. He has a grace of style that few violinists possess and is certainly the finest artist upon that instrument who has played before an Afro-American audience in Brooklyn. Another Plate! That "Won't ANOTHER Platet That "Won't Loaded" PHILADELPHIA, November 6.—The revolver that "won't loaded" found another victim last night in the person of Viola Hudson, a 19-year-old, of 1882 Clyde-American girl, 10 years old, of 1882 Clyde-American girl, in the Howard Hospital with a bullet thigh. The man who fired the shot, Avery Hudson, also an Afro-American, 21 years old, of 1012 Waverly street, was held this morning under $800 ball for a further hearing by Magistrate Moore. Hudson is engaged to Viola's sister, Annie. He is a jealous lover and is said to have often threatened to shoot his fiancée. Last night he called upon his sweetheart and placing a revolver at her head, said, "Kiss me, honey, or I'll shoot you." Naturally she complied. Then he opened the pistol with it, then it empty. There must have been a catridge it, he must when a moment later he returned the girl to dance to the clicking of the revolver's hammer, the weapon went off, sending a bullet through the thigh of little Viola, who was standing near by. Attacked Woman With Hatchet PHILADELPHIA, November 6—The decorous calm of last Sunday was disturbed by more than the usual number of fights. Early in the morning while Martha Beryman, an Afro-American woman, was relaxing from her duties as head of an employment agency at 1414 Lombard street, she was surprised by a visit from James Jones, also an Afro-American, who resides at the same address. Jones displayed a little irritability in his conversation with Martha, during which it is supposed that he suggested how well he could employ a bit of the proceeds of the employment agency. When she did not accede to his demands he started to strengthen his arguments with a hatchet. As a result the woman is lying in the Polyclinic Hospital and Jones is held without bail. Shot by Masqncrader PHILADELPHIA, November 6.—Without warning or provocation, a Halloween masquerader approached Samuel Black, an Afro American, at Thirty-ninth and Market streets, and shot him. The bullet passed through the fleshy part of Black's abdomen and lodged in his left hand. He was taken to the Presbyterian Hospital, where the bullet was extracted. The masquerader escaped. Italians and Afro-Americans Fight. PHILADELPHIA, November 6.—Lives were endangered in a fight between Italians and Afro-Americans at 49th street and Lancaster avenue last night. The Italians were celebrating the christening of a child of Carmine Cernuso, who lives at the southeast corner. Several Afro-Americans began to jeet at the feet of the bullets, which broke windows on the opposite side of the street. A riot call was sent to the 20th district, and policemen were soon on the scene. All the Italians escaped except Cernuso, who was arrested. Mr. Bundick Not Fatally Hurt. YOONKER, November 5.—Obe Bundick Jr., who was at first thought to be fatally injured by being crushed between a trolley car and an automobile on the evening of October 14, is convulsing nicely. The men were with him at the time of the accident. Ball on Atlanta Riot. NEWPORT, November 1.—Mr. P. Sheridan Ball, an Afro-American business man of New York and Atlanta, spoke here last night on the Atlanta race riot. He claimed that the news reports sent North were erroneous and unjust to the Afro-Americans. The whites, he said, were responsible for the trouble. Chatham Lakes in Seabright SEAMONT. N. J. November 7.—This city had a little election of its own yesterday. Ernest Chatman, an Afro-American, running on the Republican ticket, received 35 votes, while James H. Johnson, his Democratic opponent received 182. The worst thing about the Atlanta mob outbreak is the accuses that are offered for it; the wholly inadequate measures taken to break it up, and to restrain law and order. The Northern eye is too full of boams of race hatred and lawlessness to try to pick motives of this sort out of Southern option. The whole country lives trumpet over the police and the criminals that is as likely to break out in Pittsburgh as Atlanta. Mob material is as plenty here as anywhere. But in the North the authorities usually do not abdicate to these mob or hunt with them. They fight them, and ordinarily a few well-placed bullets are enough to scatter the whole cruel, rabid mob. But in the South the criminals in territory where Nero buralsling is a popular sport makes mob in communal tiers where law is still made something of more difficult to control. Mobs are always made up of the worst elements in the community. Hoodlums, the vicious idle and the petty criminal are always the ones whose righteous indignation at great wrongs, public or private, gets too strong for them. These men ever find the law too slow. They never can get along with it anyway. They run amuck as far as public sentiment will let them go. Mob is the most menacing evil of to-day. Official authority should be encouraged to make quick, sharp work of any opposition it offers. Stern measures are all that can hold the demon in check. In spite of the lying, craven excuse of Atlanta, that "our women must be protected," there is plenty of law in Georgia to give them protection. And even if there were no law, the solid business and professional element, the honest mechanics and industrious workingmen, would not leave the avenging of their women's wrongs to gangs of frenzied hooligans whose glance toward recent woman is not a sign of their use. A fire hose against the disturbers of the peace where a galling gun was needed. Her shame is that she now tries to cover it up. A word to those who arrogantly say: "This is a white man's country." What is their warrants? The Negro is here with a right better than the white, for he was brought here by force by the latter. He was held 250 years in a cruel and degrading bondage. The black man in the tree has never been drawn too high for the lustful white man to step over. Without the white man's restraining education or moral training, the Negro yet has multiplied presedent for every crime he commits against white women. This doesn't justify him at all, but it should make his oppressors ponder. There should be one law for all brutes and criminals, black or white. Punish men should be held to a ceil and see in a well-doom,惩情 or color. Equality before the law and security in life, person and property need not also comprehend an equality or intimacy in social relations. These rights have been denied the Negro. He has never had a fair chance. He has been wonderfully patient under his wrongs. But for how long will the God of righteousness and retribution stay with those who are provoking him to anger? Is he not also the God of the black man? AN INSPIRED TEACHER. From Collier's Weekly. the opportunity for inspiration. He has the opportunity for inspiration. He has the privilege of aspiration. He has the realities of religion, which are those of spiritual life, of industrial service, of the calls of every day. He is led, in his journey forward, by a preacher of rare devotion, insight, and unwerving straightness. To all young Negroes we recommend Booker Washington's latest volume, which he calls "Putting the Most into Life." Spoken first in evening talks at Tawkee, these little sermons are nevertheless so broad and deep that any open mind may well be fed by them. He is addressed to a race "whose mortality from pulmonary diseases is alarming," and, therefore, what is said about plowing, and deep breathing, and Wordworthian strength and inspiration from country life, has a double force, but it is true and beautiful for any reader of any color. "He who lives outside the law is a freeman, the man in the within, the man in the law be the physical or the divine." "Our ability to make the world better depends entirely upon our ability to use every opportunity to make ourselves better." "Any education is to my mind 'high' which enables the individual to do the very best work for those by whom he is surrounded." The tributes to industrial work, and to existence near the soil, are full of understanding and inspired conviction, of simplicity, comprehension of the present, and faith in man. No one says Mrs. Kahn for anyone, and all a member of any race." The only person who can degrade you is yourself. To any Negro, or any white man, who will read receptively the thirty-six pages of this tiny book, these large truths will become nearer and more woven in his daily life. Epworth League Draws Color Line. WILMINGTON, Dell., October 28—The color line was drawn in the new by-laws on membership in the District Epworth League, which recently held its convention here. The new laws limit membership to members of Methodist churches in this conference and to pastors. Rev. J. M. Arter suggested that members of other conferences temporarily in Wilmington should be admitted. "That would admit members of the Delaware African Methodist Conference," remarked a delegate. Mr. Arter promptly withdrew his suggestion, saying: "I did not see the dark cloud looming up before me." This Editor Must Need a Fan. MEMPHIS, Tenn., October 28—Feeling that the building was unworthy which was occupied by *The Bluff- City Neos*, Col. Robert R.

Nov. 17 One of the most picturesque sights of the Vieux Carre of New Orleans is the Negro num. Good women, too, they are, these Negro nuns. The most of them have some education, and the mothers superior of the different orders are women of much intelligence and marked administrative ability. One of the Negro sisterhoods is that of the Holy Family, domiciled in Orleans street, in the great gray brick building not a stone's throw from the Blossomy Closet of the St. Louis Cathedral. This building used to be the Orleans theatre. But ring the bell of that door now and it is opened by a black sister. This particular order was founded before the war by three rich, intelligent free women of color. Its work is altogether good. Its first care is that of orphaned children, then of those whose natural guardians are neglectful or cruel. These sisters do not pay much attention to book education. The catechism, of course, but after that a little learning goes on, giving children the strength to play in children' goal in triennial training, and it is a matter of common report that the Catholic-bred Negro generally the most trustworthy of all servants. Unless, though, a housekeeper happens to be a Catholic in good repute, as a strict follower of her religion, let her not hope to lure one of these black birds out of the convent neat. One of the sights in the New Orleans Custom House are the sisters, white and black, who on each pay day mutely stand on either side of the corridor through which the employees must pass on their way from the cashier's office. With outstretched hand each sister silently charms the crowd, a small pocket, few are brave enough to withstand that appeal. The Negro employees stick to their color, and give their doles to the black sisters, while not a few of the whites give also to the Macks.

That a wholesome sentiment on the race question is rising in the South against the "Nigger batting" mob spirit is evident from this splendid democratic deliverance by a typical Southerner of the best class at the highest seat of learning in the empire State of the South. Whether in the conflict sure to come at the South between the North and the South, the press and those who are truly represented by Governor Vardaman, the true democratic spirit will triumph, no one can tell. But there need be no difficulty in deciding which ought to triumph. Vardaman is a type the worst. Fleming of the best, the white South has to offer to-day to civilisation. PHILIP A. PAYTON, JR.

In all parts of the country, in the forty-two States that held elections last Tuesday, with the exception of the stinking, rotten boroughs of the South, the Republicans swept the country. Heartland in New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, and California was buried beneath an avalanche of ballots. Demagogy and plans to pumon and class hatred have been sternly rebuked by the American electorate. The Congress is secure by serenity majority. It is to be regretted that the Democrats, prevailed in the new State of Oklahoma, and will, therefore, have the making of the new constitution, which, as already foreshadowed, will discriminate against the large Afro-American population of the State in matters most vital to their welfare. --- Dishonorably Discharged Soldiers. Dischargeable Discharged Soldiers. Upon the recommendation of Brig.-Gen. E. A. Dartington, Inspector General of the Army, President Roosevelt has ordered the dischargeable discharge of every man of Companies B, C, D of the 25th Infantry, for alleged complicity in the Brownlee fracta of August 13, in which one white man was killed and several injured. It is not alleged that all the men of this battalion were concerned in the fracta, but it is alleged that they refused to give such information whatever concerning the affair as would lead to the apprehension of the alleged guilty parties. This action of the President is considered extraordinary by army men and civilians. It is carrying into the Federal Government the demand of the Southern white devils that innocent and law-abiding black men shall help the legal authorities spy out and deliver practically to the mob black men alleged to have committed one sort of crime. The principle involved is not only vicious and contrary to the spirit of our Constitution, but is an outrage upon the rights of citizens who are entitled in civil life to trial by jury and in military life to trial by court-martial. Any black man in any part of the United States who offers to enlist in the United States army to fill the places of those innocent but disboronally charged men should be hated and spurned by all the members of the army in the 25th Infantry and by the Afro-American people at large; and any member of the 25th Infantry whose term expires should not re-enlist in the service, which has so little regard for him that it gives him no promotion in the army, however meritorious his service, and no protection in his civilian rights when a mob of hoodlums in a southern town seeks to do him bodily injury and he retaliates, as he should, and as all Afro-Americans should, under like circumstances. If we cannot have a change of policy in the War Department, toward Afro-American troops in all directions, THE AGE earnestly advises the members of the three remaining black regiments not to re-enlist when their term expires and that Afro-Americans everywhere refuse to enter the army unless conscripted to do so. If we cannot get justice in the army, we are not compelled to enter it. Outside Interference in the Affair of the South. The bravo who is worning a weaker man always recents the interference of bystanders. That is the nature of him. Before the War of the Rebellion the Slave Oligarchy resented the interference of outsiders in their domestic affairs, and in the effort to circumvent it made laws that denied or abridged free thought and speech to others, while reserving and exercising the largest freedom for itself in these matters. That is the nature of every tyranny that ever crushed mankind and was finally ground to powder by the desperation of the outraged. But If Benjamin Landy and William Lloyd Garrison had not blazed the way and persisted in interfering in the domestic affairs of the South would slavery have been abolished when it was? Would the Christian Armenians of the Turkish Empire enjoy some measure of immunity from massacre if the world had not compelled the Sultan to give it to them? Would Alfred Dreyfus, unjustly condemned to a life of torture on Devil's Island, have secured a retrial and acquittal and final re-statement in the French army if the fierce indignation and protest of universal mankind had not forced the issue upon the French government and people? Could anything less powerful than the protest of all Christian powers retrain the bloody hand of the Russian government from continued massacre of the Jews? Can the Belgian government be compelled to give the native Africans of the Congo Free State any sort of justice without the organized efforts of philanthropists of Europe and America now being put forward? And can the Afro-Americans of the Southern States hope or expect that they will secure the rights which have been taken away from them "on man, color, or previous condition of servitude" without persistent agitation outside of the Southern States? Of course not. The demand that the South be left men of the Child who were killed in the absence of the perpetrators, who will be disposed of by the State who are interred in the cemetery of the Alamo, Augustine, Texas and that of the Alamo, Auburn, Texas and justice upheld in all of the land. The Gospel of Pence. We have been important from many sources to preach the gospel of peace and good will, to work for the humannous relations between the black and yellow and white people of the Republic, and to retain from the utterance of anything that would irritate the situation, that would make the devilish white less vicious and hateful and murderous than he is and has been. We decline the invitation. We see nothing in such a course but further denial and abridgment of the Constitutional rights and degradation of the manhood and womanhood of the Afro-American people. A race of shanks and cowards is no whit better than a race of slaves. And the whole Republic has reached the conclusion that the Afro-American people are a race of shanks and cowards. There is some justification for the conclusion. The Afro-American people have not resented party treachery, which stabbed the life out of their rights in settling the Presidential question of 1870-7, by which Hayes was made President and the State governments of South Carolina, Florida, Louisiana and, Mississippi, were given over to the bloody rebels of the war and of the Ku-KluKlan and kindred murders organizations of Southern white men. Afro-Americans have refused, since the organization of the National Afro-American League, at Chicago, in 1800, to respond to the appeals that have constantly been made by good and tried men and women to confoin their numbers and devotion and pennies for a proper protection of their just rights under the Constitution. They have refused to follow any sort of leadership in political and civic matters. They are and have been a headless host, almess in its thought and futile in its efforts of whatever sort. We want peace; we want good relations between the race; but if we can have these only by accepting the position of political and civil and industrial negation and degradation which the white man has striven and is striving to hitch upon us, with mob rule on top of it all, we will have none of it. We would rather be a dead bulldog than a live cur. Industrial Educational Movement in New York. The movement for larger industrial education, which has taken such a firm hold upon the European people, and has come to be more and more in evidence in the United States in the past twenty years, has been made necessary by the growth of trades unionism, which restricts in some trades and prohibits in others the apprentice system, and by the introduction of machinery in most trades, which makes necessary a more scientific training than can be obtained even if the apprentice system remained as it was years ago, the only school for the training of skilled workmen. There have been such radical changes in all of the agencies of production that scientific knowledge has become an absolute essential, and this is an true of the United States as of Europe and America and the Orient, in order that nations may not only produce at the minimum of cost the necessities of life but maintain a commanding position in the markets of the world for their surplus products. There is no department of industry in which scientific methods have become more necessary than in that of agriculture and stock raising. The up-to-date farm and stock farm would astonish our great-grandfathers more than development in any other department of industry. The uneducated farmer will find it difficult to compete, even on a small scale, with the educated farmer. This is not so apparent in the Southern States, where erudence in production is still the rule rather than the exception, as in the West and Southwest and in the Northern and Middle States, where accurate knowledge of soils, fertilizers, breds of stock, and the latest improvement in machinery has placed the industry in the forefront of that of all other nations. The prejudice which some Afro-Americans have shown toward industrial education for those of the Afro-American youth who wish to pursue the occupation of skilled tradesmen or agriculturist, in view of the statement of the case as we have made it, and as it is recognized and accepted by the most advanced nations, is one of those mental phenomena which cannot be explained by the ordinary rules of logic. Surely, if Afro-American youths who are to be the men of the future, are to succeed in the desperate competition as bread-winners they must have the very best preparation for the work they are to do that they can get. That is as plain as the nose on the face. The few men and women of extraordinary abilities, the geniuses of the race, if you please, will always secure the education necessary to accomplish the work that Nature designed them to do. If they have to be hewn out of the raw, as were men like Abraham Lincoln, Henry Wilson, Horace Greeley, Ferdier Douglass, and giants of like sort, who, like the clematis, though buried beneath a boulder, will eventually find a way out. An industrial school for the education of Afro-American boys in every State in the South would be none too many, as we see the present and future requirements for successful bread-winning. Our white fellow-citizens have no prejudice in this matter. They are moving steadily for the strengthening of the technical schools they have and for the establishment of others. A Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education has recently been organized in New York city, and will hold a public meeting at Cooper Union on the 16th inst. Such men as Frank A. Vanderlip, former Assistant Secretary of the Federal treasury, Mr. Pedrochuk S. St. John State Admission of Calgary where he lives by the twenty good works by the spirit of the father, Professor Nicholas Henry Burtin of Columbia College, and Mr. Alfred Monroe, of England, will speak at the Cooper Union meeting, Mr. Henry H. Prichard has explained the purpose of the new movement as follows: It will be most impossible to overestimate the importance of industrial training as a factor in the development of a mining nation. The reason for this is briefly stated: In the last generation, men received a moderate training in the school, and then went into the apprentice system, where they received a technical preparation for the work of a journeyman. In the last fifteen years the apprentice system, in our country at least, has practically disappeared. In its place there has come, in European nations, a system of industrial schools in which boys and girls are taught the fundamentals of their trades, getting afterwards their practice in the trades themselves, in very much the same way as in the school of technology the fundamentals of their profession, but get their practical training in the field and in the laboratory. It is a mistake to suppose that boys so trained become in the school expert journeymen. They no more do so than the engineer in the institute of engineering becomes an expert engineer, but they do get the foundation which makes possible the trained workman when the opportunity for practice comes. It is such a system of training that the individual citizen becomes an effective economic unit and the nation composed of such trained men becomes powerful and strong. We trust that the readers of The Aox will read carefully this statement of the case by Mr. Pritchard. It embodies all of the philosophy of industrial education in a nutshell; and they should also remember that the States of the South are establishing one after another industrial training and agricultural schools for the education of white youth, so that in a few years there will be one or more of them in each of the Southern States. If we wish our children to hold their own in the industrialism of the future we must see to it that they are prepared for the work by a thorough course of industrial and technical education. --- Mr. Hughes Scores Mob Law. In the closing hours of his brilliant campaign for the Governorship of New York State on the Republican ticket, Mr. Charles E. Hughes made a splendid address at the African Methodist Episcopal church, at which Collector Charles W. Anderson presided, in which these words, which will long resound through the land, were uttered: "We don't want any lynch law in this country." This evoked cheering that lasted for five minutes. Men cried out "You're all right!" and women in the galleries shouted that that was the talk they liked to hear. "We don't want any lynch law in criticism," continued Mr. Hughes. "We don't want any lynch law or the spirit that manifests itself in lynch law anywhere, can accomplish our norms in an order, can accomplish our manner; indeed, is the only way that anything good is ever accomplished. We have got to study our problems and make a conscientious effort in the direction of doing exactly what is right—no more, no less—in order to remedy the abuses with which we have been afflicted." Let the vile, slimy and entirely infamous Thomas Dixon and the whole beastly tribe of advocates of mob law and the mobocrata, the anarchists who would suppress the police and the courts and take administration of justice and injustices into their own hands, read Mr. Hughes' pronouncement and learn of him. And if the National Republican Convention should turn to New York for a candidate for President two years hence it can go far and fare worse than to pick out Charles E. Hughes. --- Anarchism of the White South. In seeking to discredit our Mr. Fortune, by styling him as an "anarchist," which we showed in the last issue of THE AGE to be a base or ignorant characterization, Clark Howell of The Atlanta Constitution has inadvertently given "a local habitation and a name" to those of the white South who, ever since the War of the Rebellion, have defied the laws of the United States and overridden the Federal Constitution in the effort to rob the enfranchised Afro-American people of the civil and political rights vouchsafed to them by the War amendments. In this work the white South has invoked the furies of assassination, arson, terrorization and a body of legislation distinctively class in character. And mobocracy has been sanctioned or winked at, in all cases where blacks and whites clash, by the lawful authorities and by the responsible white press of the Southern States, including The Atlanta Constitution. The matter has been reduced, therefore, to this condition: The Southern States are dominated by an oligarchy, government by the few, while the oligarchy is dominated by the white causille, whose defunge of the police and the courts make them unmistakably anarchists; so that, finally, the governments of the Southern States are unmistakably anarchistic and not "republican" in form, as the Federal Constitution declares that they shall be. The people of the United States are bound in the long run to recognize and to act upon the fact that the Southern States are governments anarchistic and pot "republican" in form. It is already accepted very generally throughout the country that the whip South has made an utter failure to go itself or the black South according to the forms of law and even with lax conformity to the requirements of the Federal Constitution. The persistent effort has been from the inception of the Ku-Klux Klan in 1867 to reduce the enfranchised Afro-American to the condition of a political and social palish and an industrial peon, despite the affirmations of the Thirtieth and Fifteenth Amendments of the Federal Operating the state government must prohibit selling the interstate telephone service on a purchase by single whomever the party shall have been duly convicted and and that "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sin, color or previous condition of service." We now have government by allegiance, dominated by the anarchistic white control of the Southern States. We have only to wait until the situation has perfectly developed, when the combination of "a republican form of government" has been swept away in the midst of anarchism, when the people of the Republic will demand that the cancer be cut out, not by the "extermination" or "wholesale banishment" of the Afro-American people, but by remanding the offending States to a territorial form of government, and this will be done even if an amendment to the Federal Constitution should be necessary. As the Slave Oligarchs refused to read the writing on the wall so the Southern Political Oligarchs of to-day refuse to do so. "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." Italians and Japs in Our Schools The trustees of the Shelby school district, in Bolivar county, Miss., do not want Italians to attend their school, and petitioned the superintendent of the county to separate them from the native whites, as Afro-Americans are, but that official could not decide the question and passed it up to the State Board of Education, which decided that the provision for separate schools specifies two races only, "the white and colored"; "that in," says the report, "the decision was that the law of separation applies to color only and not to race." Under this ruling, if a Japanese child applied for admission to the public schools of Mississippi he would be barred out; and this rule would apply to him in every one of the Southern States, as it has applied to him in California, and raised a troublesome question between this country and the Government of Japan. But it appears to us that the highest school authority of Mississippi has admitted that the separate school law of the State is unconstitutional, which is equally true of the separate school and car laws of all of the Southern States. The first section of Article Fourteen defines citizenship as follows: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the Jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." All citizens are by this provision placed upon equality, and distribution of public taxation which carries with it discrimination on account of race or color would be repugnant to the spirit of equality of citizenship. In the last analysis the highest court would take this view of it, if it should be governed by the spirit and the letter of the Constitution, and it will ultimately have to come to it in the progress of public opinion. So, now, we have it that it is not a question of race but of color that is the bone of contention. It will provoke some interesting developments before the end of the chapter. The Japanese, the Chinese, and the Filipinos are classified as to color with the Afro-American. Wow! Schemes That Float in the Air. Talking about the various schemes to banish, expatriate, colonize or otherwise segregate the Afro-American people from their native country. The Washington Evening Star, which invariably has a cool, level head on its broad shoulders, says: The record of suggestions up to date is amazing. Leading off is The Charleston News and Courier, an influential Southern newspaper, with the proposition of deportation. No details as to the place of removal, means of removal, or cost of removal. Just a childish cry of 'Take me away!' The Tillman seems to lean to extermination. He does not propose the polio in terms, but the spirit of the man and his prophecies lead to that. Governor Vardaman would repeal the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution, and thus smooth the way for the reintroduction of slavery. "The Negroes, thus stripped of everything, might well beg for their chains again as a protection against the unrestrained boodmumism of the slaveholders," colonel Thompson of Texas unfolds to the President a scheme for rounding-up on vagrancy charges all the shiftless and unemployed Negroes in the whole South, and shipping them as convicts to Panama to dig the canal. "He talked seriously, and the President, through politeness, did not crack a smile. And now comes Dr. Gladden with the intent proposition 'it will not be the last' of Jim Crow" the territory of the United States. "Well, the more the better. This, in a way, is a free country, and every man with the courage of his convictions is at liberty to publish them. Yes; this is a free country, and any crank who has a scheme of one sort and another, however aburd, can find some newspaper to publish his alleged views, and a few people to take them seriously. The Washington Post, which does not know whether it is a friend of the Afro-American people, or not, thinks that Colonel Thompson's scheme is "aburd." "even in respect of the professional and incurable loafers," and that "there is no conceivable excuse for applying to the black drone and parasite any treatment which ignores his white equal and imitator." That is fair and square doctrine. "What the South needs is a well-circled and sternly executed vagrant law," says The Washington Post, "as society has a right to protect itself against persistent and incorrigible foes." It would have the "persistent and incurable loafer," white and black, treated alike under the vagrancy law. We would like to see all of the loafers of all races in the Southern States at work, but loafing is not a crime, and a loafer does not fetch himself within the criminal law until he has committed a crime. He should work, but the Federal Constitution declares that "Neither slavery nor involum and possibly enlisting a commander for battle himself. The party may have been newly enlisted, their skills in the United States, or in any other military to their jurisdiction." As being not a citizen, any foreign law that would send a leader to the chain gang would be "voluntary servitude." The Post knows as well as we do that all of the Southern States enforced vaguely have they would be ordered even beyond the letter against the black leader, while the white leader who got his measure of the law would have to be so law and despicable as to be a positive enemy and unaware to his kind. For some time past the Federal courts have been occupied with prosecute cases, or cases of "involuntary servitude," and they will have more than they can attend to if vagrant laws should be adopted generally in the Southern States. --- President Roosevelt has ordered an investigation into the alleged public utterances of Colonel Pitcher of the 27th Infantry, stationed at Fort Sheridan, Chattanooga, for the execution of American soldiers in general. We hope that he will get al that is coming to him. The publication in which the utterances appeared was called to the attention of the President by the Editor of Trim Aou. Young Afro-Americans: Study, the Constitution of the United States; master every article and amendment of it; then read for illumination and interpretation of it "The Federalist," by Alexander Hamilton, "Democracy in America," by Alexis de Togerville; Justice Story's "Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States," by James P. McCormick; "Commentaries on American Law," The New Yorker; every Afro-American who precepts to a cultivated mind should understand minutely the basis and the superstructure of the laws of the Republic, in order the better to protect his own rights as a citizen. --- The Southern Immigration Commission has got actively to work and many foreigners have already gone to the South to supply the alleged demand for labor. We shall watch this movement with interest, as it marks a new and dangerous movement to supplant black labor in the roughe work colony of South Carolina, not go far if the foreign labor treated as badly in all directions as the black laborer has been and is treated. KELLY MILLER SPEAKS Hita Lying Journalism of the Afro-American Heart. To the Editor of The New York Age: I have noticed in several colored papers the grossly and inexcessibly false statement that I used my influence, as chairman of the committee on resolutions and address to the public to prevent its publication in the Associated Press. This implies a breach of faith on my part with the organization which had honored me with such a responsible function. I am impelled to make this statement because I feel that the members of the Afro-American Council are entitled to it, and not because I have the alightest hope of effecting the truth of those who never seek to know the truth of their falsehood will better nerve their purpose. Only those who seek the truth have a right to know it. Silence is the only effective defense against the irresponsible and the malerable. The committee on resolutions and address to the public was appointed on Wednesday. I immediately called together as many members as could be reached. A sub committee consisting of Hon. J. C. Napier, Dr. William A. Sinclair, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell; and myself, was appointed to prepare a draft of the address to be submitted to the full committee. It proved impossible to get this sub committee together before Thursday morning, after sitting all day, a draft of the address was called in about five o'clock. After some inconsequential amendments, the draft of the sub committee was unanimously adopted. I then proceeded to have the official typwriter of the Council make a "fair copy." It was then six o'clock, and as I had to deliver an address as well as present the resolutions at the evening session, I placed the original draft in the hands of Mr. Fred Moore, who kindly offered to make multiple copies, and supply the associated and local press. At the beginning of the evening session Mr. Moore informed me that had got to a copy to the Associated Press, and that the local press That this address was ignored by the press seemed to be in harmony with its policy concerning the entire proceedings of the Council, except the most sensational features. 'On the basis of these facts, I leave it to the reader to characterize the statement that I suppressed the Council's resolutions or kept them from the public. I am loath to think that this seemingly wilful misstatement is to be taken as a demonstration of the inability of the or sagress from which it is insured, and of the agencies by which it has been circulated with uninquiring satisfaction. Can it be that this is the accepted method of a professionally high-minded, though veneer journalism, which ostensibly wages relentless war in behalf of truth and righteousness? KELLY MILLER. Washington, Nov. 6. 1906. Excellence of "The Age." As one interested in the Afro-American race and its progress, allow me space to congratulate son and your staff on the excellent editions of *Trui Agk*. I think we will a race should feel proud of having such a journal as *Trui New York Agk* to champion our rights. *Trui Agk* touches all phases of progress, among Afro-Americans and justly deserves its title as one of the leading African Journals. We have a right to feel proud such a feature as an T. Thomas Fortune who has the hardihood to speak much for the editorial ability of its editor. Let the Afro-American rally to the support of *Trui Agk*, and we will have its support in fighting for our rights. New York, November 4, 1906. The Perfect Recipient From the Boston Post Charles W. Anderson, the colored Internal Revenue Collector of New York, who has been on a trip to Boston to participate in the Guild campaign, in one of the best story-belts that Boston has interested in some time. At the recent meeting in St. Paul's church on Candela street he kept up with the news of his laughter and I do not wonder that he has often been termed "The Chancery M. Dowpe of the colored race." Bilham, November 8.—What is the resolution of the United criminal to the sum of the blight? It is the same, whatever that may be, of the whole criminal to the sum of the white. It is more, more, more. What responsibility, legal or criminal, to the colored people of the South for crimes committed by members of that race? The same responsibility attaches to them at attaches to white people in the North for crimes committed by members of their race. The same, more, more, more, americans by white people of high or of low degree, by colored people of high or of low degree, to the contrary notwithstanding. As soon as men come together into social groups and civil society begins and government evolves, on sunday members of the group is placed the responsibility, or this function or duty is assumed by them, of dealing directly with those other members who commit crimes or offences against society. All individual acts affecting injuriously the rights of person or property are congined, redressed or sanctioned by authority. Our society for this purpose. Wherefore there exist first, the legislative power in some form to make laws which define these crimes and offences and their punishment; second, the judicial power in some form to interpret these laws and to try persons accused of violating them; and finally the executive power in some form to execute the judgments and sentences of the courts upon the wrongdoers. This three-fold work is the business of government, not of the rest of the people composing the social group for whom and by whom the crimes are committed. The protection of society against the criminal classes derives upon those few persons known as the constituted authorities, not upon the many who form the great body of society. When the rest of society lives clean orderly and industrious lives they are doing all that can possibly be required of them to protect society against the growth of crime and the evil consequences which flow therefrom. When they show by daily example that they respect the command against taking human life they are doing what in them lies to stay the hand of the man of blood, the hand of him who hath murder in his heart. When a man shows by his daily conduct that he holds sacred the marriage tie, the chastity of his own manhood in the relation of marriage, the protection the chastity of all womankind, regardless of race or color, from the lewd members of the community of which he forms a part, whether those lewd members be white or black. When he shows by daily action that he has a lively sense of the difference between means and fauna he is surely doing a man's part in society to discourage crimes against property, whether those crimes be the larceny from chicken coops, from dwelling houses or from banking institutions. When he shows day after day, and week after week, and month after month, and year after year, that he believes practically in earning his bread and that of those dependent on him in the sweet of his brow, whether he does so in household service or in factory or field, whether he does so as clerk or an cook, in the presence of his labor. He is doing to the best of his ability all that in him lies to discourage idleness and vagrancy and to encourage industry and thrift among all members of the social group to which he belongs, irrespective of color, or creed, or race. What has such a man to do with the acts of the transgressors of his group, whether those transgressors be white or black? What has he to do with the idle and vagrant, with thieves and rapists and adulterers and murderers? What moral or legal responsibility has such an upright man for the existence of vicious and brutal members of his community? What negotiation and bargaining for the purpose of apprehending to punishment the men who commit crimes against society? What have law-abiding, industrious and upright colored people in the South, and in the North for that matter, to do with the crimes of colored criminals? What peculiar obligation rests on them to hunt down and deliver to justice the Negro criminal? They have no more to do with the crimes of colored criminals than white men have to do with the crimes of white criminals. They have no more to do with them than rests on white men to hunt down and deliver to justice the white criminal. No, this work belong to the white man's government in the South, belongs to it in a special, a peculiar sense. For in this government the black people of the South have no voice—not the whisper of a whisper. The right to vote has been taken from them by the white people of the South. The never-induce the vote in making the laws in any Southern State. There is not a single colored judge anywhere in the South to interpret the laws, and they are wholly excluded from grand juries who decide whether persons suspected of the commission of crime shall be subjected to trial; almost wholly excluded from petit juries, who try persons charged with the commission of crime; excluded from the police power; excluded from the press; it is to ferret out, apprehend and bring to justice the wrongdoers in the South, whether they be white or black. The folly and madness of this Southern policy of exclusion of the Negro from any share in the administration of the law is pointed out by an intelligent writer in the October Arena in an article entitled, "An Object-Lesson in the Solution of Problematic Issues" objected to Frank J. Mather finds in the Island of Jamaica, where he was impressed with "the natural consideration and courtesy exhibited by and between the races." He points out that the "absence of crime and violence was noticeable. The records state that there has never been a case of assault upon a white woman by a black man or colored, and there is no place on the ground where a black man go alone, night or day, with absolute impunity. No instance of lynching of anyone could be found." Here is a paragraph from Mr. Mather's article which is well worthy of careful study and application by the South to the solution of its own race problem: "Another potent factor was the just, impartial administration of the laws. It was more and more evident that the normal solution of all race problems is similar to that of justice, and that found justification intelligently impartially administered. The window, as well as failures, of entrusting a considerable share of the administration of law to the "And the cases which infest the day, And as silently sleet away. ARCHIBALD H. GRIDER SINS. OF WHITE MEN. Afro-American Woman Written to Miss Vara A. Majette. "We have been requested to print the following letter to Miss Vara A. Majette, whose striking letter, to The Atlanta Geo- gression we reprinted a few weeks ago." MISS VARA A. MAJETTE Madam.—Your letter published in The Atlanta Georgian finds an echo in my heart. I was strongly impressed by the clearness with which you perceive the crime of the white man toward Nelly womanhood, for I am a Negro woman. The "hordes of mulatto children throughout the South are a sign of weakness and sin of some Negro work. There is no sign of the multitude have been tempted, pursued and persecuted by the men of your race, but who have maintained their integrity to the end. Only God knows the number of them. My attention was turned to this mike ter years ago. I know whereof I spoy by conversation, observation and expen ice. It is a solemn truth that in no cit North or South, may a decent-looking Negro woman (no matter how modest in age) be a Negro woman. They live in streets without receiving constant overtures from strange white men; often, though accompanied by the women of their own families, they will strive to attract the attention of Negro women. Day-time or night time, it makes no difference; they seem to have no conscience and no shame. A significant fact is that those men are invariably well-dressed, refined and well-educated, and they appear the poor white chan. It is indeed, the proudest of Anglo-Saxon blood which seeks to mingle with ours. Servant girls have told me that they have been offered "anything on earth" by the husbands, brothers and sons of their employers if they would only consent to subject themselves. Men who refuse to sit by them in a street car bag and plead to lie with them under cover of secrecy, will be punished. They will head that a black skin may cover a white soul. They forget that while for centuries they have been mingling their blood with ours this blood has been carrying with it the pride, the high ideals and the love of virtue which distinguish their own mothers—all this, together with the natural love of the Negro for decency and morality; for until the white man landed in Africa the crime of rape was unknown there, and even now, despite the deep sadness of the crime, the men with perfect safety entrust herself to the cure of those native black gentlemen and go alone, save for them, far into the interior of Africa. The laws against mixed marriages are made by white men because they know their own weakness—a weakness which makes a Negro woman seem irresistible to them. But for such laws and the public opinion back of them the number of mulattoes would be multitude, by a majority would be of legitimate birth. If white women will teach their sons to restrain themselves and respect all womanhood regardless of color there will not be, as there are now, thousands of cases where Negroes, because of their fair skin, have "gone over the line," "married white," and lost their identity in the Anglo-Saxon race.

ATLANTA, November 8.—As a result of the visit south of Assistant Attorney General Charles Russell to investigate alleged peonage conditions existing in this State, the Federal grand jury yesterday sustained five indictments against well known manufacturers. Those indicted by the grand jury follow: F. B. Cole, Newman, one bill; Jean Benhald, two bills; H. L. Zelgier, connected with the Thompson company, manufacturers, two bills. The grand jury remained in session several days, during which time the members listened to the testimony of some thirty German immigrants or more, who testified as to the alleged peonage, this evidence being supplemented by that of several government detectives who have been investigating conditions. On being asked for a statement in reference to his peonage investigation, Mr. Q. W. Brown, representative of the department of justice, declined to say any thing. "While I would like to oblige you," said Mr. Russell, "it is not within my province to talk for the newspapers. I must make my report direct to the de- partment." A gentleman, however, who is familiar with the investigation, and with the purpose of Mr. Russell's efforts, and who has been in close touch with Mr. Russell since the latter's visit to Atlanta, on being asked for a statement, said the Clytton case was decided by the United States supreme court, no exact and authoritative interpretation of the anti-penance laws of Congress existed: the lower courts differed about it, some claiming that State laws were necessary to create a more just and fair system of that condition was thus given on March 13, 1906, in the Clytton case: "What is peonage? It may be defined as a status or condition of compulsory service, based upon the indebtedness of the peon to the master. * * * But peonage, however created, is compulsory. The peon can release himself; it is true, by the payment of the debt, but otherwise the worker is enforced. A clear distinction exists between peonage and the voluntary performance of labor or rendering of servive in payment of a debt. In the latter the debtor, though contracting to pay his indebtedness by labor or service, and submitting for damages for breach of that contract, can elect at any time to break it, and no law or force compels performance or a continuance of the service. * * * We entertain no doubt of the validity of this legislation, or of its applicability to the case of any person holding another in a state of peonage, and this whether the peon is compulsory or sanctioning such holding. It operates directly on every citizen of the republic wherever his residence may be. "Owing to the practice of certain dishonest farm laborers in the South, who hire themselves in the late fall in order to get, through the winter, intending to get, through the winter, intending to beginning to joke that the contracts in the South are so scandal high that they are paid for cotton raising, there is a law of Georgia, punishing with fine and imprisonment as a common cheat any one who contracts to serve another and gets advances, intending at the time not to perform the service. In 1901 our department held that our office does not violate the Constitution of Georgia prohibiting imprisonment for debt, because its purpose was not to enforce a debt or contract of service, but only to punish an original intent to cheat—getting money under false promises or pretenses. Had it been intended to enforce the contract or direct the company would have held that it violated the State Constitution. "It is said that this Georgia law, directed against a certain form of cheating by farm laborers, is sometimes used to accomplish the unconstitutional purpose of enforcing a debt or contract of service, where there is no original intent to obtain advances by a false promise to serve. Certain Germans and Swedes, now in Atlanta, not farm hands, but later employed at Newman and near there about number yards and about factories under construction, claim to have been held in peonage or involuntary servitude under the pretext of applying bribes, although they themselves cheated, as being in coming to Newnan to be taken in an imaginary furniture factory. They have been taken before the grand jury by the assistant United States Attorney-General, who has been sent to look after peonage matters. "It appears from The New York Tribune of October 21 that the first move of the Assistant Attorney-General was to go before a New York grand jury, where he got an indictment against a licensed labor agent of that city named Schwarzer, who was working for foreigners into south Florida and other places, in south. The agency that shipped these Germans to Newman has sent an affidavit of one Feder, which says, somewhat ungrammatically: "The true facts of the case is this: "We did advertise on October 1 in The New York State Journal Mortgage for work to work in a furniture factory. To each and every man who came in response to this ad, we explained in their own language in presence of witnesses that they came too late for this furniture factory job, but if they wanted work as common laborers in yard of each, door and blind laborers in yard of each, shipwrights and of a similar work that working be common in office at $1.25 per day and free lodging—we would send them there." "This is not only contradicted by all these statements, but is inconsistent in entire She said she was very nervous about the who told her they were not sure and told her that they were not sure, except she told her was too late. "The most serious part of this matter for us is to be told that the labor aggrieved are, demeaned so, take representations and deal with them to get them to work. The best way to deal with such about passage positions made by the foreigner who came. It is laid on by one in a position to know that three separate contracts to send Italianes to Florida fell through by that reason, although a Catholic would have been better. The foreigner persuade the Italian to go. Of course, the foreigner write back to New York or to their own country. "It is claimed that the mission of the Assistant Attorney-General is likely to benefit the South if he succeeds in stamping out, with the aid of Southern juries and Southern public opinion, whatever is stated in the official announcement given out in Washington, because he is a Southern man and a Democrat; for it was recognized that the President's duty of executing the peonage-law could not be effectively performed against the wishes of the better element of the South, because he was influenced by the general trend of public opinion about them. "If peonage really exists to any considerable extent, then the reports of it that will go back and interfere with the much-needed flow of immigration, can only be stopped by stopping the peonage. The new South is clamoring for immigration, and it is argued that it had better take the chances in regard to the few disaffected immigrants, to retain money with no intent to work, than to catch a lot of immigrants in a net that was not set for them, and that we might well repeal a law so likely to bring employers into conflict with the State Constitution and Federal statutes. Some other plan of preventing such cheating by farm hands might be devised. "As the South need immigrants, it ought to make them welcome and treat them well enough to draw them off from the acustomed western flow. Special inquiries should be held out to them; and the first of those, it is suggested. It fairs and just treatment—giving them all their just rights." LOOK INTO CASE OF WHITE PEONS IN FLORIDA CAMPS Not Only Afro-Americans Held in Involuntary SERVICE, PENNACOLA, Fl., November 4.—The Department of Justice at Washington has sent assistant counsel here to prosecute several case of peonage before the Federal Court, which opens here to-morrow. Special Agent Boyd of that department has been visiting a number of camps in Florida where peonage is reported. This constitutes peonage, and it is said that none is more anxious to have it judicially defined than are the large employers of labor in Florida and Alabama. Cases alleging this offense have come mainly from this State and Alabama, although some other States have had such contentions in the courts. Since the Government has taken notice of complaints they have been numerous, but some of them it is asserted, are trivial. Turpentine and lumber will be dealt with centrally the complaints have come chiefly from Afro-Americans, but is most of the cases now to be tried white men have the complainants. For some time efforts have been made to draw immigration this way, and special inducements have been held out for immigrants. Those who make complaints to the U.S. government foreigners, recent arrivals at New York, sent South by labor burens. ITALY SORE OVER TREATMENT OF IMMIGRATORS IN U. S. A Seaching *Article on Conditions in Mishalappi and Illinois*. PARTS. November 4. "The Traffic in Human Flood Carried on in Central Illinois and the Mississippi States" is the caption of a seaching article in *The Rise*. The charge is made that Italian emigrants are the victims of outrageous imposture through the connivance of high American officials, who continue to encourage them, to leave their homes by fullsome panegyries of the sections where colonization is desired. The Recipe says the horrors of sweeping pansy grapes go unpunished and censures the Italian Government for permitting the Embassy at Washington to remain without a titular head for two months after the retirement of Baron Mayer de Planches. It is charged also that American speculators have taken advantage of this fact, well knowing that the Italian legal commissioner for Emigration was so attituded as to be impotent to check the shuves. It is probable that Italy will agree to send delegates to the International Congress of Emigration, which the United States has purposely holding in Washington, next year. Kansas Hold Rally.

The association has luxurious headquarters at 53 West 134th street. PHILADELPHIA, November 1.—The decision of Judge Sulburger, who is one of the Jewish leaders and known all over the United States, in sustaining Mayor Weiner's suppression of "The Clansman" was in full as follows: "The prayer for an injunction is based upon the contention that the Mayor of the city of Philadelphia has exceeded his powers in preventing the exhibition of a show or play called 'The Clansman' at the Walnut street theatre, and the complaint that the power of the Mayor has the power conferred by the Act of 1870 and by it alone. This is a confusion in the mind between two sources of power possessed by the Mayor of the city of Philadelphia. He has a power which is derived from old times to see that no improper performances of any kind are shown in Philadelphia. The profession of showman, the exhibition of a hobbitor was not recognized as lawful by the common law of Pennsylvania. Indeed, its exercise was prohibited from the Declaration of Independence to the passage of the Act of the March 24, 1879 (2 Dallas) Laws 647). By the third section of that Act the president of the Supreme Executive Council, the Chief Justice of the Court of Appeal, or the president of the Court of Common Pleas for the County of Philadelphia, or any or either of them, were empowered, during three years from the passing of the Act, to license such theatrical exhibitions only as shall in the opinion of him who shall grant such license, be exceptionable. Presenting plays without a license was abused by the fire and imprisonment. The power of the Mayor has continued to exist and is now exercisable in Philadelphia by the Mayor. "The Act of May 22, 1897 (P. L. T. 3), makes it the Mayor's duty to satisfy himself that the exhibition, performance or entertainment 'shall not be immoral in its nature or tendencies, or otherwise unlawful or hurtful to the community,' and he is authorised to vacate or annul the licence if he be satisfied that any of the performances have been immoral or unlawful. "It has never been supposed that by this supervision any constitutional right of the citizen is violated or impaired. The Constitution of 1776 penned the Declaration of Rights therein contained, the salient parts of which have been preserved in our subsequent Constitutions. Yet some of them ever supposed that the legislation concerning theater licenses violated or infringed any rights thereby granted. "The Mayor's power in the matter does not, however, rest on the right of censorship merely. He is the officer especially charged with the duty of preserving the peace of the city. And in exercising this function he is not the officer of a mere municipality with a charter or a publicly responsible Owner's patitions are more delegations of power by the only sovereign, to wig, the commonwealth. It is as the representative of the commonwealth's police power that the Mayor with his police force preserves the peace of the city. "The objection has been urged that the Mayor's right of censorship can be exercised in no other way than by refusing or evoking the license, and that the mere prohibition of a particular play is beyond his power. The question is on which much may be urged on either side. We are not, however, called upon to decide if in this action, because the Mayor has taken this action, solely on his duty to preserve the peace. "From the decision of the Mayor on such a question no appeal lies to any Court." "The plaintiff is not here by virtue of a right of appeal, but as a matior in equity who claims that the Mayor has in violation of common right, exercised a function of the office, this limits the question we are called upon to decide. If the Mayor has in good faith exercised a power belonging to his office; the mere fact that we are not in accord with the wisdom of his conclusions, would not authorize us to enjoin the powers and imposed upon him the duties of his office and we are not invested with the power to give affirmative direction to his administration. In matters of discretion pertaining to his office, it is his judgment which the law calls for, not ours. Only when he is shown to have the discretion are we called on to interfere. "No evidence has been produced showing or tending to show that the Mayor acted with any purpose other than the preservation of the public 'peace'. A number of citizens complained to him that a play called 'The Clenman' was to be enacted and that the probable result of the exhibition was to grouse a strong and hateful artagnian between two large groups of citizens assembled in and about a limited space, a great art of them in one building. Moreover, those of a group had worked a paper which could not be interpreted than as a call to lawlessness and violence. "In these facts he discerned the elements of a riot with probable deplorable consequence to many personal innocent and guilty. "Confronted thus by a condition he did that which seemed to him best to avoid a branch of the peace. He forbade and prevented an assemblage which in his judgment would necessarily become sloths. In forming this judgment he was not a public Safety who testified that while he could easily have controlled or suppressed a riot, he was wholly unable to control or force the result of a panic within a crowded theater, and that the suppression of a riot outside would be likely to produce a panic within the building. In addition of the Mayor seems to us to have been the exercise of the discretion vested in him by law, and we see no reason to hold that he abused his decree. A more sense of judgement, if given to the play, would be proved for the Queen. "We may hypothet, not assumed to say that the legendary judgement was questioned." The author of the play was called as a whism. Paste of the play were read, and he was asked to question them. A comedian posed them. The poet's pose was also in evidence, and he admitted that he had written it. "From all the evidence we are scripted that the play is a unlicious lapse upon a class of citizens and in effect educates their morality or destruction despite of combitions and laws, and common knowledge." "While the good sense of the community may be in general be relied on to appraise such faintian in its real value, and while we might have been silhoued as to the power of such a piece of work to produce a permanent impression, yet these circumstances do not give the author of a play the power to accuse of his ignorance or to accuse of his publication, and he must suffered injury, it is at law that he must seek redress." "The injunction is refused." MILHOLLAND TO WEAVER. Praises Mayor for Suppressing "The Clanman" Hon. John E. Mihholland, chairman of the executive committee of the Constitution League, has sent the following characteristic letter to Mayor Weaver of Philadelphia, who had the honor last week of being the only Mayor of a Northern city who has suppressed that odious play, "The Clanman": HEADQUARTERS THE CONSTITUTION LEAGUE Mayor of Philadelphia. DEAR SIR.-Permit me in behalf of the Constitution League to express its appreciation of your creditable action yesterday in suppressing that vile appeal to race-prejudice and the lower passions, "The Clanman." The play represents such an exhibition of intellectual and moral perversion as has been seldom witnessed in the annals of the American stage. Its utter distortions of history and deplorable viewpoint have been so widely known that well-informed, thinking men and women but the ugly fact remains that a great mass of thoughtless people are influenced by its wretched teachings and reflect the result of this upon the unfortunate coloured people with whom their lot is cast. Every day brings out unhappy illustrations of this statement. It belongs to an advancing civilization to lift people above every form of racial hatred and more pride of birth. In making a counter appeal this play places little emphasis on the injustice and oppression it should be stamped out, like small-pox or yellow fever, and you have done your duty as a faithful public servant in forbidding its performance. Seldom has the chorus of condemnation been so complete as in this instance. The enlightened sentiment of the South is one with the intelligent North in denouncing it. The Honorable William H. Fleming of Georgia, one of the ablest Representatives that the South has sent to Congress since the war, declares in an open letter to the president, "I am the offender" in bringing about the centurious horrible massacre of American citizens at Atlanta. Another honored Southern, Joseph B. Cumming, of Atlanta, himself a Bourbon of Bourbons, has openly denounced the play as "in t only nasty, but fliendish, and worst still, cowardly." I say cowardly, he adds, "because it tends to excite the most laat less part of our people to deeds of violence and cruelty to a defenseless class of our population that is so deserte, protection and encouragement" and he closes his powerful appeal by pronouncing a malediction upon the "dirty money" which the author "is putting in his pocket by his nasty play." Your reference to the Ree-instruction period makes relevant some memorable observations which harmonize with your own regarding not only those times, but the very theme of this play, and which form a striking paragraph in that masterly sketch of this exciting period by the brilliant author of "Twenty Years in Congress," the late James G. Blaine. What is most striking about this trivial,紧凑 style has told the world. That the gifted statesman spoke with full knowledge of the subject will be generally admitted, for, like old Lluses, he had been "part of the things he saw." "In prosecuting their purpose," he writes in reviewing Southern conditions and developments following the Rebellion, "these Clans and Organizations hesitated at no cruelty, were deterred by no considerations of law or of humanity. They rode by night, were disguised by masks were armed as freebusters. They whipped, malmed or murdered the victims of their wrath. White men who were cooperate with the authorities were visited with punishments of excessive cruelty. It was difficult to arrest the authors of these荒唐 wrongs. Aside from their disguises they were protected against inculturing testimony by the fear inspired in the minds of those who might be witnesses; and they were protected even by that portion of the white race who were not willing to join in their excesses. It was well said of the leading members of the Clans that murder with them was an occupation, and perjury a pastime. The white man murdered a pastime, the white man burned at the risk of seeing his house burned, or of himself beaten with many strips; and if the offender had been at all efficient in his hostility, after torture, in many instances, doomed to death." The effects of your decision will be beneficial and far reaching. I congratulate you upon striking a blow for healthier conditions and greatly relieving your. JOHN E. MILHIOLLANO, Chairman Executive Committee. New York, October 24, 1906. Its Evil Character Made Its Supprea- sion. Necessary. From The Philadelphia Press Magazine. "The Clanman," a light a difficult duty as Chief Executive by suppressing "The Clanman." Public opinion was clear. So was the law. The facts were unmistakable. The play had become a menace to public order. It inclined to a breach of the peace. Whether a play will do that would depend on the nature of the it was not in the one of "The Clanman." It was, as we pointed out at the time THE MUSEUM OF ART is the first museum in a poor place, built on the banks of the river, surrounded by plains and indifferent terrain. It possesses groundwater, and its excavation of housing cites and was built to air moth volume. But all this may be traps of a play and it may have nothing in it which incurs to a breach of the peace. If it not alone the contents, character, treatment or motive of a play which denies whether it should be suppressed; but whether it should be suppressed, it causes a "breach of the peace" (in which term is included any unlawful act), or is such as, in the judgment of reasonable men, speaking for reasonable men, will, as a matter of fact, be reasonably certain to cause such breach of the peace. "The Clanman" has clearly earned this evil reputation. After a year's experience its character and effect are clear. It has been excluded from more than one city. The experience of the second full year of experience by Mayor Weaver, it is unmistakable that "The Clanman" calls for suppression under the law. The result should be a salutary lesson to all concerned. The play itself is evil in subject, method and motive. Nothing can excuse an appeal to race prejudice. Nothing can excuse a crime as a subject for the stage is within the experience of "The Clansman" renders it certain that the next time a man seeks profit through these paths his play will be earlier suppressed. The indignation with which the play was met by those it slandered, caricatured, or mocked by all or all women, would have felt alike under the same insult. Mayor Weaver was right in condemning the "call to action" signed by clergymen, which brought Monday's throng at the Walnut Street Theater, and narrowly escaped riot; but it is the law and subject to it, subject to the face of flagent evil, to make public opinion visible, vocal and feared. But the one great moral of all these struggles in the rise of a race is that no race is ever injured by libel or harmed by insult. No race and no man was ever injured except by itself. What is needed in the race attacked, as in all men and in all races attacked, is to learn from the foe to put the house in order, to remove the appearance of evil and to visit the few vicious who bring scorn, contumely and insult on a race law-abiding, hard-working and steadily rising under dawning oak, the condemnation, ostracism and legal punishment against themselves and their race deserves. Nor was there a man of those prosecuting before the Mayor yesterday against "the Clanman" who is not in season and out of season striving to discharge this onerous, difficult and, in his own race, sometimes unpopular duty. Could "Juanmas." Be Suppressed in New York? Unless we have a few leaders in your city who have no political affiliations and in whom the people have absolute confidence it is doubtful whether the feat accomplished in Philadelphia could be accomplished in your city in the same way. Those of us who led this fight did not attempt it through political channels. If those who play the political game on either side got any advantage they got it through conditions as they arose, but not through the effort of the person. If the proper man take the initiative an injunction can be secured against the play in every Northern city. I will be very glad to mail such matter to leading colored men that you may name in all Northern cities when "The Clanman" is likely to attempt to play. Our call brought into conference originally only five men who were willing to risk imprisonment and the loss of blood if necessary to accomplish the purpose, unless the fact of this determination had made the city authorities we would have failed. I would advise that in other cities the injunction proceeded be considered first. N. F. MOSSELL Philadelphia, October 26, 1906 Southern View of "The Clanman." From The Atlanta Constitution "The Chicanos" was suppressed in Georgia and other Southern States; it was suppressed in Philadelphia acts commanded in the authorities in every instance. SOUTHERN POLITICS BOTTEN Fraudulent Measures of Desperate Machine Obligarchy. Joseph C. Manning for the Southern American. In specifying some of the principal acts of legislation by the Republican party, the "Republican Text-Book for the Congressional Campaign" declares, in clause 5, the following: "The 14th Amendment, which created citizenship of the United States as distinguished from citizenship of the several States, and provided that no State should abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States." It is gratifying, indeed, to see the recognition of the clearly stated in the "Republican Text-Book for the Congressional Campaign." It will be a source of greater gratification, however, to see Republican members of the next Congress enact laws to enforce the Constitution of the United States. This recognition of the superiority of United States citizenship, through the guarantee of the Federal Constitution, shows that there is an awakening in the querulous public that the Constitution can be stood to by the clauses of the Federal Constitution for which it is responsible. The registration boards, the election boards, the returning officers, the boards to hear and try contests, the selection of juries and the election of judges, every branch of the States in the South—is in the control of a partisan political oligarchy. There was only one hatch to impede the gaining of the absolute hold of this oligarchy on the throat of the politician. Theocracy was in control of theocracy was in control of both houses of Congress under the Cleveland administration. The Democratic members of Congress from the South could not be quick enough to get the law authorizing Federal marshals to be stationed at polling places in Federal elections repeated. This law had interfered with their counting out process. Just at that time the white counties in many districts in the South were voting anti-Democratic votes. The county wanted a free head in doing returns to meet the exigency of the hour. The presence of Federal officials was not wanted where padded Democratic election This Company has on its principle object the better handling of the Huge Tenant Claim.

The rapid increase in membership which has characterized the Order of In the Southern States the oligarchy has abrogated the sovereignty rights of the United States citizen. This is an uncontroversial fact. Whites and blacks, who oppose the oligarchy, have no rights as against the machine when the machine once gets in action. The Republican lawmakers at Washington had as well recognize the principle of the Fourteenth Amendment, just as has the "Republican TextBook for the Congressional Committee" had as had the government, an exact them, to uphold the Federal Constitution. It will have to be come sooner or later. All of this race riot Democratic agitation, this inflammatory Vardaman and Graves Democracy, is found in a well-designed effort to exploit the reign of oligarchy on the Southern masses and to try and create a spirit of toleration North for the partisan distraughting regime. The taking up of the race issue, this magnifying of it and the pressing forward of it, by such men as Hoke Smith and Tom Walsh, is purely a means to attain selfish political aims. The desperate extremes of political deviltry are indulged in to the extent that the majority may be uprised up to be bluffed into the straight and fourable course which honor and patriotism, right and justice would decree. The Southern American doubts that the North will be either film-framed or brown-beaten out of the path of National duty. A Malone Anecdote. R. W. Thompson in The Freeman. Thomas H. Malone of Atlanta, brilliant lawyer, experienced journalist, sweet singer and mellifluous spellbinder, is one of those Southern leaders who have the courage to speak out against the policies and politicians right out in the meeting. He doesn't feel it necessary to "tite his tongue simply because he happens to live below the Mason's and Dixon's line, and as a result he is universally respected by those whose respect is worth having, and feared by the cravenes who dare not give a black man an equal chance, knowing they would be left out of the conference of Georgia leaders, in conference of Georgia leaders, a discussion arose touching the status of the colored men in the Republican party. Some "cracker," called by his associates "Judge," (presumably because of his superior ability as a sampler of the real Georgia "licker"), was indiscreet enough to remark particularly that the believer in allowing his colored followers to vote was a part of the party, etc. And then Lawyer Malone, his eyes blasting at the hiatus at political segregation within the party he had so faithfully served, in the language of the street, "jumped the Judge," hurting at him a few "hot ones" about the ethics of political obligations, and wound up with the declaration that "In this body there is no doubt that the Republican party—but just plain, everyday Republics, on equal terms of party brotherhood—that all." The Judge apologized, leaving Lawyer Malone the undisputed master of the situation. No more was heard of "colored Republicans" after that—all were simply "Republicans"—holding at family, regardless of race, color or race. And leaving Lawyer Malone's spirited effusions in the National press understand the value of the service he is each week rendering the Negroes of the South who believe in standing up like men for full-fledged citizenship and an equal chance in the struggle for existence.

The rapid increase in membership which has characterized the Order of Knights of Pythias in the past five years has not abated. At the present rate of increase it will have a hundred thousand members by the meeting at Louisville in 1907. The amount donated for the relief of Pythians in San Francisco was $3,155.41, Supreme Worthy Counselor Green announces that the Constitution and Laws for the government of the Juvenile department are now on sale by Supreme Worthy Register of Deeds, Mrs. C. A. Carl, 2839 Armour avenue, Chicago. Advices from Louisville are to the effect that arrangements for the Supreme Lodge session of 1907 are well under way. J. C. Brown, of Elk Mountain Lodge, No. 2 of Hanna, Wyoming, has been appointed Denty Supreme Chancellor for Wyoming; and J. L. Hatcher, of Grispo Lodge, No. 2 of Spokane, Washington has been appointed Deputy Supreme Chancellor of the States of Washington. The Grand Lodge of Louisiana has purchased a site in New Orleans for the erection of a business block and temple. The lodges of Indiana have decided to erect a magnificent temple in the city of Indianapolis. The Lodges of Ft. Worth, Texas are preparing to erect a building on the lot which they purchased recently. The lodges of Missouri at its recent session in Indiana appreciated a sufficient amount to liquidate the indebtedness on their valuable Pythian home in the city of St. Louis. The stockholders of the Pythian Mutual Investment Association, of West Virginia, received a dividend of six per cent. in August. This department has proved a great success and other investments will be made soon. A large number of the Grand Lodges have acted favorably on the request of Jackson to purchase tents for their United Bank companies. In this way the large item of expense for renting tents for our encampments will be done away with. The juridiction of Georgia, of which Sir C. T. Gresswell is Brigadier General, and Iorida, of which Sir D. Taylor is Brigadier General, are leading all States in the organization of new companies. The judge, by the wealthiest judge, the juridiction was instituted at Kansas City, *Ao., last month by Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd.* Its membership numbers more than a hundred of the city's most representative citizens, some of whom are among the wealthiest men of the race. Two who have acquainted themselves with the institution are unanimous In the endorsement of the selection of the site made by the Temple and Sanitarium Commission for the location of the National Pythian Temple in Chicago. The location is an ideal one and as a business investment it could not be better. The Pythians of Texas are succeeding admirably in raising funds for the erection of a new temple, the Past Grand Chancellor Mack Henson and Past Grand Master of Exchequer, Dr. W. Snowden. Diafranchisement and Lynching. To the Editor of THE New York Age: A good deal of emphasis has been placed lately on the allegation that the Atlanta and other rioters have broken out because they cannot protect himself with the ballo. This may or may not be true, but I would get to light on this question. If riots have been caused by the Negroes being disfranchised, why is it that the worst riot we have had in recent years broke out 18% of the only State in the South where the Negroes are enfranchised in enactment of law. You will bear in mind that Georgia has no creew constitution. Again, the Negro is not disfranchised by any constitution in Arkansas. Notwithstanding this fact, your readers will remember that Arkansas has recently been enfranchised. New York City, October 20, 1998.

Twenty- seven a booth. Will Blank, now Always Opens to the Street Without Attempting to Ride Under Lines—never Wear Fashion! From The New York Times The editor and humane parts of the white population of Atlanta, which like, to regard itself as the most progressive and enlightened city of the South, have an opportunity for further reduction on the logical consequences of a policy that they have scutily countered if they have not actually accepted. Is there an outbreak of race hatred an explosion of savage fervor such as makes us desire to apologize to the Jew channers of the Russian Pale? Have lancement and inoffensive men, for no offense except that, they possess the complexion that nature gave them, be wantonly set upon and murdered as they peacefully pursued their business? It is unexpected that a Jewish legitimist result of that spirit of caste and racial antipathy that has been indisdually fostered for many years. We cannot have peace between two races occupying a common territory when the disorderly elements of the stronger are encouraged to believe that the weaker has no rights that must necessarily be respected. For the right adjustment of the working relations of the two races the heavier responsibility rests with the whites. They can preserve the white. They can preserve the Colonization is impossible, extemination is impossible, and a bad situation is made steadily worse in proportion as the caste spirit, a spirit pervasive, sophistical, tyrannical, is developed. From what source springs the danger that in fifty years or less the black belt may be plunged into anarchical conditions? Is there any likelihood of the blacks gaining the mastery? The fear of this, put forward as the excuse for keeping the Negro down, is a fragment of discussed imaginations. The date that the blacks in Negroland are challenging arises not from the aggressiveness of the Negroes but from the aggressiveness of the whites. Keep up the chasing, discourage every Negro who wants to be decent, make him understand that the rule of fair play does not operate in his favor, and you put at work an influence making for general Negro viciousness certain to have the most sinister grades the Negro the South is striking at its own future. Perhaps the time will come when the Negro, now deficient in powers of organization and resistance, will be groomed into more effectively striking back. It is inconceivable that a people numbering 10,000,000 will be forever docile and subservient no matter what their treatment. Education comes in the bitter school of experience; once a white mob we may have seen that will sicken the heart. Is it reasonable to think that forever the Negroes will take to the woods and to their cabins when the white rowds begin to shoot? YELLOW JOURNALS AND POLITICS. Even a Long Suffering Race May Be Provened to Retaliate. From The New York Evening Post. No one need be surprised at the outbreak in Atlanta on Saturday. It has been invasible, with six months past politician Al Gore, who was born with each other in denouncing the Negro. They have been conducting their primary campaign as if trying to free the State from a Negro "reconstruction" government. During the same period, an apostle of lynching, John Temple Graves, has been disgracing the city of Atlanta and the State of Georgia by almost daily apprehension of a mob murder. For the killings of every Negro woman a white woman one newspaper offered $1,000 reward—his rival in base journalism, The Atlanta News. It could not, of course, remain far behind; hence there has been scarcely a day when the public has not been served with race enmities. With all this has come a series of most reprehensible assaults by Negroes on white women, including the "pogrom" as steeped in savagery and just wicked as any slaughter of Jews in Russia. Such occurrences as those reported from Atlanta and Memphis disgrace the entire country. When a murderous mob can take possession of the richest and largest city of the South, it means the loosening of the fundamental bonds of civilization, the breakdown of government in city and State. Why talk of pacifying Cuba? Nothing that has happened there in the remotest degree approaches the Atlanta horror in its danger to the United States. Insurgents and supporters of Palma's Government might fight for years without amurting our good name; but to-day throughout Europe the white people of Georgia are being placed in the same category with the police, the military, the officials of Russia who have deliberately slaughtered helpless Jews, men and women in the aid of the militia of Maurice B. Blumenthal, speaking in one of New York's synagogues yesterday, told but the truth when he said that the Atlanta massacre had blocked the movement to get the United States to demonstrate with Russia. This country cannot hereafter fairly protest against any excess in the Czar's Empire, however terrible. The language is too obvious. Unfortunately, the world will condemn Atlanta without considering that it has honorable white men residents who feel themselves humiliated and dishonored. Three hundred of them met yesterday to take counsel how to stop the slaughter and redeem the city. The business men among them know that all this retards the city's growth and injures its prosperity; they know that the foundation of the South's industrial system is Negro labor. Quite aside from the skellingen horror they must feel at the atrocities of the mob, they realize that, lynching is a cure for nothing. John Temple Graves himself has admitted it in his contemptible organ, and urged in its place mutilation and some dark, devilish punishment quite beyond description. Indeed, Georgians must have been the victims of the materials of Graves and his kind are not inciting to the very crime of which they profess such righteous abhorrence. Suggestion is the great instigator of crime, the criminologists tell us. Upon the weak, deprived and vicious Negroes that exist in every city. North and South, such suggestion in hurial headlines, in double-leaded editorials, must have its effect. There is but one remedy: the rigid enforcement of law and order. On August 30 a mass meeting of white citizens of the city of Chicago held a demonstration in friction, between the races and to ```markdown ``` Their address declared that they "beowed in the enforcement of the law," protected against any revival of the White Caps or Ku Klux Khan, and asked that the police force be largely increased at once "to rid this community of tramps, vagabonds and well-known criminals." Nevertheless, the Mayor of Atlanta confronted the police in a fight—if he is correctly quoted—that the only remedy for riots is "to remove the cage; as long as the black brutes assault our white women, just no long will they be unceremoniously dealt with." Had he been but half a man he would have promised immediate and exemplary punishment of the mob; denounced their journalistic inciters as accessories to crime, and advocated immediate legal proceedings. The police, finally, Mayor Woodson could be promised to run the city deeply into debt, if necessary, to give it at once a large, efficient and vigorous police force. Thinking men in the South must, we are sure, realise that long-suffering as the colored race is, it will not always submit without protest to having the sins of its criminals visited upon the innocent. It is without significance that Negro women urged their husbands and brothers to resist the mob, or that Negro editors are resistant to the mob, or that Negro editors are tacked, for one white man before they are themselves killed. Foolish and even criminal as such utterances are, they show that the colored man will turn against those who would set him apart with every man's hand against him—as if any modern society so organised could exist! There are other and better ways in which the Negro can protect himself and make use of his tremendous social and economic powers, not as yet organized. It is sugary to think that Negro men should be practically without black servants day. If the South wishes to divide into two hostile camps, it need but instigate a few more horrors like those of Saturday and Sunday. Infamous "Atlanta News" From The New York Sun Atlanta is in greater danger from the brutal license of yellow journalism than from the lust of the Negro. For the mob murders which drenched the streets of that city on Saturday night with the blood of Negroes who had committed no crime unless to have a black skin be a crime, the Atlanta News cannot escape responsibility. It had been the policy of that paper for some time to fan into a blaze the white man's hatred of the Negro, and industriously it cultivated the lynching spirit. When a mob hanged and shot two Negroes in the presence of Governor Heywood of South Carolina, disregarding his appeals to let the law take its place, the singing band was making when Atlanta was going to follow this example of Governor Heywood's fellow citizens, which it applauded ranturously. It repeated its incitements when opportunity could be found. The afternoon before the outbreak of Negro killing mania on Saturday The News published an editorial entitled "It Is Time to Act, Men." The occasion for it was "two more unspeakable crimes," which at the worst were in one case an attempt to commit an assault, which was foiled, and in the other a menace of assault in another manic episode. The boy had been made a captain. The Men's Fulton" demanded the News, "what will you do to stop these outrages against the women? Shall this terrible wave of criminality continue? Shall these black devils he permitted to assault and almost kill our women and go unpunished?" There was more of the same sort and a rabid call for a vigilance committee. A yellow journal once boasted that it brought on the war with Spain. The thantaite page may plumme itself upon having been attacked by the men of Georgia, with its several universities its theological seminary, its fine school system, its flourishing churches and its forty periodicals. THE ATLANTA MASSACRE. Police Assisted the Mob—Hysterical White Women Scream "Assault!" From The Independent. [The following article is from an educated Negro, a lifelong resident of Georgia, in whom, were it safe to print his name, editor, women would have every confidence. Editor: Atlanta, Ga., has again demonstrated that it is not a civilized community. Last Saturday The Atlanta News, hard pressed for existence in competition with two other afternoon papers, felt called upon to print sensational charges of assault upon white women by Negroes. Not one of these charges has yet been proved, but the mere report was enough to call together all the white "toughs" in the city as soon as they had drawn their week's wages, and to give them license to be upon innocent and unsuspecting agile men found and butcher them upon the spot. The cause of all this violence, by careful inquiry, I have traced to four sources—one remote and three immediate. The remote cause is the contest between Hoke Smith and Clark Howell for Governor, in which both men openly declared that Negroes have no right save those granted through sufficiency by the white people. The three immediate onus are: 1. There was circulated by ninth newspapers—The Negro and The German Press and The German Press five assaults had occurred in one week and an additional one on Saturday—not one of which charges has been proved. 2. There is a sharp struggle for existence among three evening papers, which feel called upon to use any measures whatsoever to attract readers, among a population that can be heat attracted by abuse of the Negro. 3. There is an increasing number of educated and pro- African Negroes are an envorce to some of the whites, who can in no peaceable way prevent that progress, as the facts here will show. The facts about the most aggravating case of assault I have found to be as follows: A Negro whose purpose was unknown was seen in the yard of a white woman; she drove him away with abusive language without asking him about his mission; the Negro again returned and the woman again began to call him the woman said to become and to say that the Dragon was approaching to capture her. A smile of joy adorned her, and before they had all got together all of the evening papers—The News and The Guangzhou especially—were circulating "entrance under the goring headline," "Another Annual." Then separate and extra editions of The House appeared house until dark, saying, "Another Annual." The woman was white woman to see a Negro meeting her in the name street or looking at her on her front porch to make her cry out, "Annual!" That is the evidence that drove the editors mad and made them advocate the gathering of a mob to murder peaceable Negroes. It is coming out little by little that the whole affair was planned. A man the driver of a laundry wagon, told me that his team was Saturday morning. "Well, sammie; we are going to kill all the piggers to night." The most horrible exhibition of savagery was in the treatment of Negro passengers on the street cars as often as they came into the public square—Negro men, women and children were beaten unmercifully, and the dragged out of their shops while they were shaving white men, beaten and their shops demolished. One of the finest shops in the whole country had the glass front smashed because the owner was colored. It is believed that this violence upon the barbers was done by white barbers who were members of the mob and fully-in Atlanta in competition with Negro barbers. They used the mob as a cover to destroy their competitors. A Hardware store and a pawnshop were broken into by the mob and all revolvers and ammunition taken, but none of the stores would sell weapons to Negroes. A Negro fled through a fruit house, kept by Greeks, and when the mob was attacked against the mob, it was straightway demolished and the fruit gaken. A stable owner, with revolver in hand, defied the mob to break open his door to take his homes to chase Negroes to the suburbs. This only shows what one policeman might have done. Where were the policemen? What is where the negro asked at first, but when the bluecoat negro came up, he broke streets and arrest them upon State charges for carrying concealed weapons, it became plain that the policemen were not interested in quelling the mob. When one was seen in a crowd he made no effort to use his club or his gun, to rescue a prisoner. One of the newspapers confesses that on Peachtree street, in the town, there were gathered, "only one policeman could be seen, and, of course, he could do nothing with such a mob." Where were the conservative, good white people? That is not a question any one will ask when he knows that ten of the leading white pulpits in Atlanta are avid because the pastors of moral courage have either been driven away or will not come to stifle their conscience in such service. On Sunday morning only one pastor stands up positively for law and order, accusing the clergy in the *Atlanta Constitution*, and that one was a Catholic bishop. All the others said it was what you might expect. What will be the outcome of all this? That is more a question for the white people North and South than it is for Negroes. It certainly is not going to make the lawless element of whites, who are very much in the majority in Georgia, disposed to hate the Negro less when he is not a white person, than to hate the barbers; it certainly is not going to frighten the Negroes who are actually bad, and it certainly is not going to make the great majority of Negroes, who are honest, law-abiding folk, assume the responsibility of chasing down every one of their number who is merely accused by some malicious, frightened white woman, any more than a report of theft or robbery. If they do not hunt down absconding cashiers because they happen to be of the same race. All that Christian piety in humble homes, all that honest labor and forlearsness, and all that teaching and preaching can do has been done by the better element of Negroes to help their fellows; and if the white people of the South are going to expect the lawless element of Negroes accused of crime or actual criminals when experience proves every day that such persons have no hope in the world of a fair trial, then the white people are doomed to disappoint. COUNTING THE COST. Atlanta's Bank Clearinges Fell Off $260,000 During Rift Week In accordance with its regular custom, *The Constitution* prints this morning the aggregate local bank clearings of the week just ended in comparison with those of the same calendar week of last year. This contrast—in plain, undeniable figures—reveals the astounding fact that the clearings of the week just closed are $204,000 less than those of the same week of. The stump is undoubtedly, the most remarkable in the financial history of Atlanta since the great panic of 1883. With negligible exceptions the bank clearings of this city have, dating from that low-water period, recorded a weekly increase over the preceding year of from 10 to 60 per cent—a showing of which Atlanta has been just proud as giving her a status absolutely unique in the Southern States. Bank clearings comprise the most accurate barometer of the volume of all business transacted by the territory responsible in the stationary or fierce or fall, they indicate infallibly the commercial condition of the entire city—which means the material interest of every man, woman and child within its boundaries. In this instance, then, the radical decrease recorded means that the money has come out of the pockets of— The laborer on the streets. The worker in the factory. The carpenters and other artisans on construction. The mechanics in the shops. Girls and men behind the counters and deks of stores and offices. Interest, cost and profits to every man engaged in business in the city of Atlanta. These are the elements of population that foot the enormities loss outlined. Who have they to thank for it? A mob of irresponsible, who could have been responsible, had certainly, had the situation been met with the vigor and decision its gravity demanded, and had there been no incendiary talk and publications to goad them on.

From: The New York Times President Roosevelt efforts to intrench himself in Southern favor, together with Taft's speeches, have awakened attention and suspicion among colored voters. One of their most influential papers, THE NEW YORK AGE, edited by T. Thomas Fortune, "read the riot act," so to speak, to the Republicans before the meeting of their State Convention. It said: "The hand of President Roosevelt is plainly visible in the success of the Herbert Parsons faction in the heated Republican party primaries in Gréater New York last Tuesday. "We shall have to wait until the Saraoga convention to settle finally the control of the Republican party in New York State. When the conclusion is reached there good Republicans all over the State will think it over. If the result is not satisfactory it then the good and not satisfactory be identified on all matters the conditions of Republican politics in New York State are far from satisfactory to the mass of voters, because new forces have got into the party and seek to control it. "The Aux. will not accept any half baked Republican business this year. It must be straight goods, and it does not look at this moment as if the straight goods were going to be put up to the Republican voters of the State." This meant Business, with a large B, and it accounts for the plank which excites The Herald's wonder. It was not a Roosevelt Administration plank, rather the reverse, but an effort to prevent the desertion of colored Republicans. Two is company.—Aunt—"Tommy! How cruel!

The Biggie Enterprise and Social club are an organization of young men having their object the improvement of its members, socially and intellectually, and also since its inception done good work about it. They have about a year ago and now hold two separate a month at the club rooms, 500 Southminer street, where business and businesses are combined and a wholesome social atmosphere prevails. One meeting is given every quarter at which each member writes letters to the club to express in music, games and reading from some standard author or the life and work of some prominent Afro-American is discussed. The first annual reception of the club was held at Summer hall on Monday, April 16, 2014, largely attended, was a glowing social success. It had been previously announced that the invited clubs having the largest number of members present and which made the best appearance in the Biggie Enterprise and Social club a silver loving cup with the names of its members inscribed upon it. Among the clubs invited were the "Owl Club," the "Universal Wheelmen's Field Club," the "Marshall Club" and the "Garnet Field Club." Sidney L. Caldwell furnished themusic and these clubs were in the swing around the circle until one o'clock, the hour set for the d content. By mutual consent the following ladies and gentlemen served as judges: Mr. Charles Gassaway, chief. Mr. Walt Cohen, chief. Mr. Andrew A. Moore and Miss Maud Greene, Mr. Harold A. Smith, of the Garnet Feld Club, instructed the clubs in maneuvers of the floor in the contest, while the clubs consisted of six men specializing in the clubs. The Eagles' good luck is the right of the tall as a guest of honor; their bodies were pink and green over white with dark trimmings. The first club consisted of six men well-dressed while men wearing red and blue colors. The second was the Universal Wheeler's Club, with five members wearing the colors of the Marathon Club. In the subjects announced, each club received generous applause, but the Owls created a genuine stampede as they appeared, eleven in number, in full dress, wearing red and blue. It is needless to say that they carried off the honors of the evening, for before the judges retired to the private box to discuss the martin and demiress of the contest had won, and such was their decision. The presentation address for the Eagles was made by Mr. N. Barnett Dodson and accepted for the Owls by Mr. Charles Cohen. The presentation was a brilliant affair and it is due to say of the Eagle Enterprise and Social Club that they have set a high standard of social etiquette which may well be applied by caterer R. Lincoln Powell. The officers are: Mr. H. G. Minute Byrd, president; Thomas R. Stanley, vice-president; Andrew VanKouren, recording secretary; John Festus Brewer treasurer; and John Westley Lee, financial secretary.

The meeting has an important significance as bearing upon recent happenings in the South. Mrs. Thurman's subject will be the history of the Colored Women and is widely known as a temperance lecturer. It will readily be remembered by club women that Mrs. Thurman was elected to the presidency of the National Association, most exciting scenes ever witnessed in a woman's convention. And it is true as Mrs. W.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1900. The Unarmed Trainee There are many times when death in a physical conflict without blinding who are still the most vulnerable awards before a simple duty that calls for an exercise of moral firmness. The South presents such an object lesson at this very moment. There are thousands contested all over the South who have faced death on many a bloody battlefield, and who would do so again at a moment's notice on a call to arms in defense of their country, and yet many of these are proving themselves guilty of the most abject moral cowardice conceived. There is a mense facing the South to-day that only requires a little moral courage to remove once and forever, but unless removed it will ultimately engulf us in horrors undreamed of at the present time. We refer to the race problem as it has recently been intensified by the Atlanta plots. Every observant citizen who is familiar with Southern sentiment realises that there is not a city in the South but what would repeat the scenes of violence and bloodbed enacted in Atlanta on the slightest provocation. This is a menace to our very civilization and demands prompt and vigorous measures to remove it once and forever. This will never be accomplished by standing aloof and "damning" the Negro for his shortcomings, but it can be and should be done by the leading elitists of every community getting together in a common effort to improve the glof and aiding him to become more efficient in the duties and responsibilities that confront him in life. The writer is a native Southerner—an ex-Confederate soldier and the son of a former slave-holder, and there is not a breath, he breathes that is not loyal to every interest and tradition of the South, but to the South where lies their duty in this hour of emergency to the land he loves. The world does not possess a grander record than what the men of the South have made during the past forty years, and that record must not be clouded by moral cowardice now. The old soldiers of the Confederacy can settle all this race friction and relieve the South from the menace confronting it, by simply having the leaders of the Negro race understand that they intend to aid them and befriend them in all efforts needed to improve and benefit their race. Let us close every low dive in the South, and make it a crime to sell liquor to an idle or drunken Negro. The Negro is here to stay. It is better, more honorable and easier to render him useful than it is to drive him to desperation, and more social conflict to allow him to measure the horror and despairment. Let us exhibit a little moral courage and settle this matter for all time to come. The Atlanta Mba The future industrial progress of the South demands the crushing of mob spirit in this section. There is no truth that should appeal more forcibly to all thoughtful citizens than this one. Where the mob is liable to hold sway and where it appears so readily as it has at a number of places in the South recently, it is time for good citizens to band themselves together and declare that mob rule must and once and forever among us. This is such a self-evident necessity that we are really ashamed to use it as an argument, but that something must be done to remove this spirit from the South is still so apparent that we feel it would be a serious neglect if silence were maintained on the subject. It is no longer a time for discussion over the splitting of hairs as in crimes that demand immediate punishment, but it is a time for action. There is no justification of any crime that calls for the perpetration of others—especially when these other crimes mean the destruction of organized society itself in their ultimate tendencies. It is time for the pulpit, the press and the platform of the South to unite and say this monster must be destroyed or it will destroy us. There should be law and order leagues formed in every community, and the officers of the law informed as to who they are, and their personnel should be such as to convince these offenders that no more mobs for any purpose should menace the future of the South. If it is known that at a moment's notice the best citizens of a community will rally to the call of law and order, and that a mob is going to be met with lead, there will no more mobs. This is a desperate remedy, but it is the one thing needed at this time, and if any sheriff or chief of police fails to do his duty in the face of a mob his dismissal and prosecution should be demanded at once. mally have to be done to check this evil it. It is here and ready to devour us now, and now is the time to destroy it, before the name and fame of our fair land should be sufficed beyond cleansing. In the case of the marshal and womanhood of the South let us determine that there shall be no more mobs here, but that law and order shall, rule throughout our borders and for the safety and happiness of our people. THE SOUTH'S FATUITY. Brace All Solutions on Afro-American's Permanent Inferiority. From The Springfield Republican. Many more than the usual number of voices are now being raised in the South for the solution of the race problem, and they are pitched to an exceptionally high key. The Atlanta riots have made a profound impression. FILL manpower with that the whole South in the urge of similar, outbreaks of appalling consequence to industry and society, he seems but to speak out what is on everybody's mind. Yet in the scramble for averting remedies, there is to be observed a painful degree of blindness in getting at what seems to be the heart of the question. The Atlanta Constitution appends a case in point. It is devoting long editorial, printed in all the emphasis that three or four kinds of type can give, to an exposition of the claim that what the Negro needs is more religion and not more education, or "rights," and so on. They have been educating his mind when it is the soul which needs education. The idea seems to be that the Negro is naturally of an impressionable and emotional character, and if more of the old-fashioned religion, with its future rewards and eternal punishments, were forced upon him he BV.

There can be no question that the Negro needs more religion. Nor is it to be supposed that the whites would be injured if they were given a little more. The question, says The Constitution, is "up to" the white clergy of the South. But are they to go down among the Negroes to preach, or are they to invite the Negroes up into the white churches? And if the latter, are the whites, or "Jim Crow" paws? These are more details, of course, but they would seem to be of some importance, and The Constitution neglects to enlighten the clergy regarding them. And this brings up the real trouble with Southern attempts to "solve the problem." The people there cannot or will not approach the question except on the basis of Negro inferiority and his permanent consignment to a subordinate station in life. Yet this assumption back of the whole Southern discussion is almost certainly the underlying cause of the trouble to be remedied. Of Givens, who wrote in 1870, example it sees in contrasting the absence of rape and of antagonistic race conditions where the Negro is treated with consideration, as in Jamaica, and their prevalence in the South where it is otherwise. Says Prof. Smith in a letter to The New York Sun: These examples seem to suggest that antagonism of race rather than Negro propensity may be the main source of the difference of the white races from the black is general. But this intense antagonism seems limited to a country in which the blacks are emancipated slaves raised in law to polish equality and treaty with the former slaves there have seen a black bishop dining in the premier club of London; and at Oxford nobody was shocked when a black youth male entered and there. This boy then engaged in hope of migration from countries where the sharp antagonism does not prevail, should it take place on a large scale, will create a neutral element to mediate between the desired slave owner and the emancipated slave. It is not for any such purpose that the South desires white immigration from Europe, but that it might tend to moderate antagonistic race conditions there, as suggested by Prof. Smith, is probable. The point, meantime, not to be lost sight of is that pretty much the whole trouble which the White South is somewhat familiar with now grows further out of life and the essential race superiority and determination to force it upon the Negro as an immutable fact. Atlanta's Atricleon Journalism. From The Brooklyn Eagle. It is impossible to overestimate the seriousness of the rioting at Atlanta. We may measure what the rest of the world thinks of the United States today by what we think of riots against the Jews in Russia. Ours was a race outbreak as purely as that at Kishineff. Its cause was more serious and far, far more inflammatory, but, like the slaughter at Kishineff it was an outbreak of the lust and cruelty of the governing race against a people absolutely at their mercy. There was no pretense of killing the particular Negroes so he had assisted women in the murder of prisoners he occurred in the South over and over again, has been excused by the country and gloried in its participants. Now we are reaping the fruits of that tolerance. The white race, the guardians of law and order, have turned loose in an insensitive fury against all Negroes, have murdered at least fifteen innocent men, have wounded many more and have reduced their town to a state of terror, where no Negro dare go forth about his regular business, and where the Negroes' families in which murder has been done are carrying their dead forth secretly in the country to bury them at night, so that the mourners may not risk being shot down. And this wildness of the most American cities in this country. Atlanta has a small and insignificant element of foreign population, and it has been one of the most progressive and prosperous cities of the South. Those facts, which make the crime and the disgrace the blacker, which make it more truly a-National and not merely a local shame, make an understanding and removal of the causes of the outbreak the more imperative. We would not for one moment underestimate the shocking nature of the immediate cause. Before the whites broke out into their savage bowl for black blood there had been twelve assults by Negroes upon white women, not one of which has been punished. The fact that the state of facts puts upon civilization and government is hardly to be understood by men who live in a region where such crimes are rare. The one fact which is clear to the whole world is that government and civilization break under the strain and that the very men who should maintain both exult in their failure and in the substitution of wholesale and indiscriminate race murder for them. The world knows that now, but the WINTED—Two respectable gentlemen or women or man and wife: rent reasonable able: modest and well-paid only W. 90th street. Top floor west side. Mrs. L. W.

Ring 2d bell. men who should have prevented the outrages by efficient police control knew it before the fire was kindled. They knew it and they not only took no efficient measure to prevent it, but they deliberately inflamed the public mind to a point where the outbreak was inevitable. Particularly is this true of the newspapers of Atlanta. Weeks ago, when a Negro was lynched in the presence of the Governor of South Carolina, The Atlanta men who should have been negroes a nailed white women in Atlanta. If the Negro were called to pay its reward to all the murderers of Negroes who are entitled to claim it, the paper would become bankrupt. If it is held to an equally just and stern account by the people of the city whom its incitement go wholesale murder has disgraced, it will be bankrupt for lack of readers and advertisers. The riots of Saturday and Sunday are the fruit of its incitement as certainly as a harvest of weeds follows a summer shower. The journalism of which The Negro has made itself the most conspicuous exponent glories of the city is the one of Atlanta, all of Georgia, all of the United States suffer for it, and the authors of the calamity should be made to bear as much of the punishment as can be brought to their doom. They sowed the wind, and their city, their State and their country have reaped the whirlwind. At the time this infamous reward was offered few of the dozen assaults now charged upon the Negroes had been committed. The newspaper campaign for blood inflamed the whites, and it is fair to suppose that the same general blame affected the Negroes also. Certainly, the crimes which dared the whites to carry out their threats of lynching have increased since the agitation for murder began. Instead of the headlines intimidating the Negroes they seem to have lined up for the arrest of a frequent and daring crimes than they had committed before. Now both races are at a pitch of excitement where white and Negro women alike are said to be urging their men on to murder. All thought of vengeance upon individual crimes or criminals has been lost sight of in a wild lust for the blood of the racial enemy. Where the outbreak may end no one can tell. After the blsemblance of order has been restored by the troops the red devil of murder will lurk in ten thousand breasts, white and black alike, waiting for an opportunity to wreak its hate and vengeance. The cure for such a condition is to suppress their inflammatory newspapers. That cannot be done by law, but it can be done by the much surer process of starvation, and the men who fomented the riots deserve that punishment. Then Atlanta should establish an adequate police force to keep its black brutes in order. Such a force coats money, and the men of Atlanta hate to spend money in such a cause. It is quicker and cheaper to shoot the devil at sight, and a large share of the whites feel in their hearts that that in all the black brutes deserve. It may be all that the beasts who attack white women de- COMMITTEE OF ARRANGEMENT—James S. Williams, ex-ode; P. J. Poez, chairman; T. B. Jones Jr., secretary; Dr A. A. Kellog, treasurer; D. W.
