Municipal Judge $6,000 Per Annum in County Commissioner, and Dr. Lane Goss to Legislature —Playing Politics CHICAGO, November 9.—The Afro- Americans of this city and Cook County are solicitant over their political success, unqualified in the history of America, in the elections Tuesday. They had sought the Republican machine to nominate three Afro-Americans on the regular ticket and all three were elected. Per- familand L. Barnett was elected a Judge in the new municipal county; Oscar De Press was re-elected County Commissioner; L. Barnett was elected to succeed Edward Green in the Bilkite Legislature. Ohio is setting a pace in politics which seems entirely too hot for Afro-Americans in other Northern cities to follow. The Democrats made a bitter and surrogate campaign against Barnett, whose jobs last two years at $6,000 a year. Race propagation was excited by the wholesale distribution of infamous post cards and picturing a trumbling white woman being tried in a court in which brutish, black, uneducated apes, supposed to be Afro-American, were judge, counsel, jury and bail. These cards were labeled: "Defend This! Vote the White Man's Ticket." These displeasant tricks came near being fatal to Barnett's candidacy, for he was elected by a plurality of only 490. In all, the received $7,516 votes. Dear DePrince, the巾帼女 serviced minister, County Commissioner, received 95,694 votes, a plurality of 6,538. Dr. Lacey was one of the three Representative aligned from the First Congressional District, and received 9,404 votes. Mr. Barnett, who is now assistant Judge attorney, was born in Tennessee, but has lived in Chicago most of his life. After finishing the course at the Jones school he graduated from the old Central high school, taught school in the fifth and graduated from Union College of Law. During the early part of his career in law, he also dited the Chicago Courts. In 1866 Charles State's attorney, in which capacity he is still serving. He has served in every department of the office and has sole charge of the habeas corpus work. In this has been most successful living from the Supreme Court several notable indictments defining the law in habeas corpus procedure. He has appeared for the State in all of the extradition cases during the past six years and has been identified with the Dreyer, Streeter, Hoch, the Benefactor mandamus cases and the recent case testing the constitutionality of the Juvenile Court law. He is the husband of Ida B.. Wells-Barnett. Dr. Lane was born forty-six years ago at Lexington, m., but came to Illinois when eight years old and settled in Perry county, where he attended the public schools. He then went to Carbondale and entered and entered Illinois Normal school. After Mr. Lane had finished his normal course he was engaged as principal of the public schools in Carbondale, and after leaving Carbondale he came to Chicago and attended Rush Medical College and graduated from that institution with the degree of M. in 1808.

Davisw, Mich. November 12—Frank c. H. Warren, editor of *The Indian War- er*, and *Alphas A. Poole*, author Afro- American, were both candidates in this election, but Tuesday for the presidency, ap- so Dushevskaya ticket. Both mediators na, have overweight in the Hebron wave. MONTROCCA, W. V., November 8— JAMES M. BILLE, the African American candidate for the State Legislature from PAY ounty county, was elected Tuesday, receiving the same majorities as the other local Republican candidate. Hanson Got Only 211 Votes in the Whole City. RICHMOND, Va., November 12—Election is over, and those who delight in the whirl of politics are about through telling "how it happened." George A. Hanson, the "Lily White" candidate for the Legislature, although backed up by the State machine, secured only 211 votes in the entire city. Major J. B. Johnson, the Afro-American candidate, received 112. The vote of the latter would have been larger, but Afro-Americans in Richmond have become disgusted with present party management that they take little or no interest in going to the polls. The small vote which Hanson received, a part of which came from Afro-American, shows that the Republican party as now constituted in Richmond, is made up of a handful of office holders whose only desire is that the party be kept sufficiently large so that the officers may go around. HARVEY T. ANDREWS MAKES GOOD AS JIST'S LEADER Generous to Afro-American Veterans—Chicago His Advisor. Contrary to the expectations of some, Mr. Harvey T. Andrews, the Parsons leader of the 31st Assembly district, is showing a most generous disposition to recognise and grant the rights of his Afro-American constituents. The response of an Afro-American leader by force from many Republican leaders, Mr. Andrews is freely and voluntarily giving. As a result the large respectable and decent majority of Afro-Americans in the district are beginning to take an interest in politics which they have never heretofore felt. It takes clean and fair men like Mr. Andrews to redeem politics, which has an unavailable reputation in our opinion, and to strengthen Afro-American and to draw them to the political activity which is their duty as citizens. As his Afro-American adviser Mr. Andrew is fortunate in having Mr. Melvin J. Chisum, whose names can still stir the Afro-American voters of the old 11th Assembly district, who remember him as the bravest, most honest and ablest leader they ever had. Mr. Chisum has been able to draw to Mr. Andrew's support men like Dr. T. S. P. Miller and other high-class Afro-Americans in the district. MONSTER MASS MEETING Respectable Element to Organize Against Grafters and Hoodlums. The Regular Colored Republican organization of the 9th Assembly district, of which Dr. P. A. Johnson is leader, is planning to hold a monster mass meeting at Mutintall hall, 9th avenue between 35th and 39th streets, on Wednesday evening, November 21. This club intends to organize unremittingly in preparation for the primaries and election in 1907, so that the large number of Afro-American voters in the district may get all that is coming to them in representation and patronage. At the mass meeting some of the best Afro-American speakers in New York will deliver addresses, and the large majority of respectable, hard-working men in the district will turn out in force to register their protest against the grafters and hoodlums who have heretofore pretended to lead them. SMALLEST ALABAMA COUNTY WENT REPUBLICAN First Time It Has Happened Since Reconstruction. MONTOOMERY, Ala., November 7.—The returns show that Winton, the smallest county in Alabama, went Republican, every Democratic candidate being defeated. This is the first county to go entirely Republican since Reconstruction days. MACON FAIR OPENS WITH Dr. Washington and Mom. Wm. H. Fleming Speakers. MACON, Ga., November 12.—All details of arrangement for the colored fair having been completed, the first enterprise of this character ever undertaken by Afro-Americans in the South opened to-day to the people of the State for inspection. The arrival of exhibits from Savannah, Albany, Americas, Cordelle, Titon, Valdosta and from nearly every section of the State devoting time to farming reveals that an extensive show of industries, and especially farming, will be made. Dr. Booker Washington made the leaky address on this occasion. Among the white speakers are Judge Sam Adams, Hon. W. H. Fleming and Hon. D. M. Hughes. There will be fully forty proclamations. There will be proclamations from time to time during the week. Dr. John E. White of Atlanta has been asked to speak on Education day. Athletic contests will be engaged in by Afro-American students from seven colleges of the State. Horse and male races of the Georgia raised and the plantation type will occur regularly. The pennum list reader $8,000. This includes the awards in the agricultural departments. At closing of the school, the General impugn has been taken by the Afro-Americans all over the State. The executive side of the fair, under R. K. Wright, of Savannah as president, means excellent. ASSEMBLYMAN IN WISCONSIN L. H. Palmer Elected in Richest District of Milwaukee PAID OWN EXPENSES Only $30 From County Committee —First Afro-American in Wisconsin Audibly Milwaukee, WI., November 8.—One of the surprises of the election in this county is the victory of Lloyd H. Palmer, an Afro-American Republican candidate for the Assembly, over Thomas Ramsay, Democrat. The district comprises the Third Fourth and Seventh wards, and it probably the Richest district in the State of Wisconsin from the windwheel of the ban immigrant law. It being the downstream district of the metropolis of the State, in which many of the largest corporations and banks hang their main offices. Mr. Palmer put up an active campaign and epitomized the active support of his race in the district, as well as urging Republicans, and Democrats throughout the district, to support him. Mr. Ramsay is the present member of the Legislature and served several terms in the common council, an alderman of the Third ward. He is more thoroughly acquainted with the city, shorter than most former aldermen, having made it a special study, especially as regards the finances of the city. Mr. Palmer is the first Afro-American to be elected a member of the Assembly in the history of the State. He is a category, reading at 171 Sixth street, and enjoys a wide acquaintance not only among the people of his race, but among citizens generally. Mr. Palmer received the support of hundreds of loyal Democrats who disapproved of the manner in which the Afro-Americans had been requested by the Republican party in Illinois in the debate of the Wisconsin nominees. The Roaming Wisconsin is in error when it says he is the first Afro-American to be elected to any office in Wisconsin. P. D. Thomas, an Afro-American, was elected coroner of Racine county about ten years ago and served throughout the term with credit, and was only defeated for re-election to a second term by about ten votes. James Parrish, another Afro-American, was elected coroner of the city of Wampe for three successive terms. J. B. Perkins, another Afro-American, was elected justice of the peace at La Crosse, Wisc., about two years ago. Mr. Palmer's campaign was managed by a committee consisting of J. D. Cook, W. T. Green, Alex. Price, J. B. Buford, C. M. White, Richard Reed, and S. R. Banks. Meetings were held weekly at the law offices of W. T. Green, when plans were laid out for arrangement made by the RepUBLICAN county committee donated $20 toward their campaign fund. This was the only money received from any outside source. All other bills were met by Mr. Palmer himself. Comediana' Share Amounts to $3,000 a Week. The report of James D. Barton, as receiver of the Williams & Walker company, was filed on November -1 in the United States Court relative to the business that firm.

Conductor Drieve Plainfield Out of White Smoking Car. JACKSON, Miss. November 12.—Thomas Whiting, an Afro-American from Cauton, Miss., boarded an Illinois Central passenger train in July of last year, and failed to find a smoking car for Afro-Americans, went into the car not apart for whites as a smoker. He was driven out, and a abusive man entered his car. He sought the services of Bendle & Howard. Afro-American attorneys in this city, who filed suit for damages in the United States Court for the Southern District of Mississippi. The attorneys faced a white jury on the unpopular proposition that common carriers are required to furnish equal though separate accommodations for their passengers, and got a verdict of $100 and costs, notwithstanding the company was represented by the ablest white law firm in the city. The providing judge administered his jury that they must arouse from the trance into which Attorney Howard had eloquently carried them, and decide the one upon its merits. Informed by Flores Collison: PHILADELPHIA, November 12—By the unexpected collapse of a concrete flooring in the building at 127 South Broad street, on the site of the, Old Lippincott Mansion, Friday afternoon David Holmes, an Afro-American, of 718 St. Mark's Square, was dropped to the collar, feet below, by the police. He was to be to the Jefferson Hospital in an unconscious condition, where he was treated. He will recover. Special Correspondence to the late D. Owen, November 24, 1859 May 1, 1859 London, Newbury and Bristol. Upon vouchsafed, a grandmother of Matsuo Bishinling, the New York native of Ginza Whitman Bald with Martha to the late Ogden Balm, was married to Mr. Franklin Balm, now the late Sir George Balm, British minister of Boston, Goody on day 14 of his marriage, "upon the marriage he must pay it," stated the king. "Satisfyly this privilege is of great interest to a wide wide circle of well-known society people in England and America, nor is it without considerable interest to After-Autumn." One of the most prominent actors in the ceremony, in fact a bridegirl, was (accepting the American standard) a Negro—the little Gentune Mammy Tory, daughter of the Grand Daddy Michael of Rumba and Oueston Tory, and the direct descendant of Abraham Punklin, "Peter the Grunt's Negro." The Grand Daddy Michael is naturally married to a daughter of Prince Nicholas of Nunamia by a marriageable marriage with a daughter of the Russian poet Punklin, and has five children. The late Grand Daddy of Izimurai conferred the title of Coppens Tory on his wife, Nicholas I was a patron of Punklin, but he would have been surprised had he been told that they would have great grandchildren in common; and still more had he forsworn that a future Taur would name his two first children Oma and Tatiana, out of one of the grand's works.

WHITE MAN CONVINDED OF BOTTING IN ATLANTA Was Sron Beating, a Helgien Afro- American. ATLANTA, November 10.—I. H. Carr, a white man, charged with rioting on the night of September 22, was convicted in the Atlanta criminal court yesterday morning, Judge Calhoun presiding. Carr was indicted along with a number of other men who were charged with participating in the disturbances in which a number of Afro-Americans were killed. His case, however, was tried separately and the others will not be taken up until later. Carr, who is an employee of the Southern Electro Plating Company, alleges that our night of the riot he left his home to come to the city for the purpose of purchasing a bottle of whiskey. When near the corner of Peachtree and Decatur streets, so he states, he saw an Afro-American who was running rapidly and heard the cry, "Stop thief." He joined the pursuit and overtook the man, striking him several blown. He stated that he knew nothing of the existence of a riot or general disorder. Captain Mayo, who made the arrest, testified that, when he saw Carr the Afro-America was down on his knees in an attitude of helplessness and Carr was striking him. A number of witnesses testified as to the riot. Among those were Chief of Police Jewlings and Officers Starnes and Beavera, all of whom made statements. Judge Calhoun delayed sentence. NEARLY HAVE RACE BOT DOING HIWAVN PROCESSION Slacks Parade in Honor of Senator Merma Delgado. HAVANA, November 10—Eight hundred Afro-Guibana paraded to night in a demonstration in honor of the colored Senator, the Hon. Morma Delgado. While the procession was passing the Hotel Inglaterra the paraders shouted: "Death to Estrada Palma and the Moderates. If we are not given the jobs this will be another Santo Domingo. Loog live! Military machete!" The Federal commander of the Government volunteers in the late revolution, who was standing in front of the hotel, leaped out and with a pistol in his hand shouted, "Death to the niggers." He was overpowered by friends and "forced into the hotel and the door locked belldim. Other Moderates then took up the shout of "Down with the niggers," and the police had great difficulty in preventing a serious riot and bloodbath.

BOYCOTT NEARLY RUNS OBNOXIOUS PLANTER Can Get No One to Gather His Hun- Areas of Bales of Cotton St. George, S. C., November 9—What promises to be an sensational and provocative of excitement as the trial of suspected lynchers of Keitt Bookkardt is the indictment contained in a warrant sworn out by . . . r. S. E. Kiser before Magistrate J. W. Caramings recently, charging ten or twelve of the most prominent Afro-Americans of this community with barding themselves together with the intent and purpose of oppressing Mr. Kiser, and preventing and hindering him in the exertion and enjoyment of his right and privileges, and enforcing the Constitution and laws of this State. The lynching of Will Spain some months since gave rise to the trouble. The Afro-Americans in the vicinity of St. George, have been greatly inflamed, and wrought up since Spain was lynched, forming numerous societies, the object of which was to hamper and intimidate the white people, and especially those who were suspected of having anything to do with the lynching. A threat was made that anyone who assisted in the burial of Will Spain was; as a consequence difficulty was had in getting Spain interred, and only, was it done when Mr. Kiser had several of his hands perform the work. Since then Mr. Kiser, who is one of the largest and wealthiest farmers of the county, has been constantly annoyed and put in fear by the conduct of the black men, and occasioned financial losses to the extent of three or four thousand dollars. Most of his laborers have been driven from the community by threats of abuse from American societies have positively facilitated the to lay in anyynir for him. He has hundreds of hales of cotton lying in the field, which the Afro-Americans refuse to gather. Mn. R. L. Works, a well-known law Mr. Works is務要向 the prosecution Mr. Works is務要向 the prosecution Thomas Dixon's "The Clanman," which was then published in Philadelphia, Herring and Ward, Wilmington, Del., and many Southern cities, is advertised to appear at the Broadway theatre, Broadway and Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn, during Thanksgiving week, beginning November 26. On the first night of the play in Philadelphia a crowd of 5,000 Afro-Americans gathered in front of the theatre and, although they were not riotous, convinced Mayor Weaver, that the production of The Clanman" would gravely change the character. He promptly suppressed the play, and the public upheld by Judge Judd stubberen on the ground that "The Clanman," was "a malicious libel on a class of citizens." "The actioi of the Afro-Americans of Philadelphia emboldened the Afro-America to push demonstrations against "The Chikashan"—always with success. Xenon, Pa.; November 9. — Thomas Dickop, Jr., play "The Clanman," will not appear in York, as Manager B. C. Ponts of the York Opera House has cancelled the date he be with the management for November 13. The play tends to incite more prejudice dealing in it with the day of the "Ku Kiu Kiu," in the South, and its production in some edition, notably in Philadelphia, has been responsible for rioting between the whites and Afro-Americans. After consulting with Mayor McCall Manager Ponts decided to cancel the engagement. "I do not desire to book any attraction that will be productive of disorder in the community," and Manager Ponts. "I am always ready to hear prosecutions that may be made against the production of plays. The mayor treated me very couronally, and after consultation with the plaintiff, it would be better to give me no performance." The man in this city. I have notified the manager of the cancellation of the contract. I always desire to do the right thing, by the public and will always give consideration if they will come to me with their complaints. The letter, regarding the presentation of "the Clanman" in this city, sent by Mayor McCall to Manager Ponts, is as follows: I herewith enclose you a copy of the opinion of the city solicitor given to me regard to the matter of the production of "the Clanman" at the opera house. In response to your request for a statement from me as to my position, as mayor of this city as to the production of this statement, I will not behave before me, there is reasonable cause to believe that disorder or a breach of the peace is likely to enlarge from the production of the play. I shall certainly prevent its resolution. I don't want to prejudice the case, but I will not tolerate the tumultuous occurrences in the city of Philadelphia and in view of the decision of the mayor and Judge Sulzberger, of the same place, I think it would be exceedingly unwise to attempt the introduction of the mayor to those place. I believe the leer will sufficiently explain my position. Very truly yours, JAMES ST. CLAIR MCAIL, MAYOR. E. A. JOHNSON TO Was Dean of Law Department of Shaw University. Prof. E. A.

GILES JACKSON HAS TWO VERY STRENUOUS WEEKS Reports Growing Interest in Jamestown Exposition. RICHMOND, November 13.—The past two weeks have been heavy ones with the Jamestown Negro Development and Exposition Company. The Director General, Colonel Giles B. Jackson, has had to lead a most strenuous life, having had engagements after engagement in different sections. Colonel Jackson returned to the city Friday last and gives a glowing account of the meetings held by him in the South. He regretted that, through a misconnection of trains he failed to reach Montgomery. Ala., in time to speak on "Negro Day," at which time he and Dr. Washington were booked for an address. Nevertheless, he held two largely attended meetings. Afro-Americans were thoroughly around to the importance of a creditable exhibit on the part of the race at the Jamestown Exposition. Leaving Montgomery, he went to Tuskegee, where he delivered an address, later making speeches in other sections of Alabama. Thursday of last week, and for several days he was in Baltimore, where the Maryland headquarters were opened. The meeting was the first show that through the work of the association a healthy treatment, is being created throughout; the country in the interest of the expedition. EI. RERO, Oklahoma, November 28. "All right, sir; all right, sir; Lieut. Higgins, give it." Charles Dale, an old soldier of Company D, of the Twenty-fifth Inventory made the remark as he turned in his hat at Fort Reno last night, after the gunner ordered to disarm the house damaged upon panes of Negro soldiers, and being by Major Charles W. P. Wyman, he handled the rifle anywhere, as he passed it over to the officer. He turned his head to hide his team. "I just can't help it, he musted apologetically to a comrade as he tended away. I've been in the service twenty two years, and it's hard to give up a gun that's almost like my own kifafun." The next map call forward was another veteran, First Sergeant Hammel Heus. He was in fall dress uniform, and the service strifter on his sleeves nearly filled the space from elbow to wrist. He patted his rise and passed it in. "I rocked I'll never handle another gun," he said. It was pitiful to the old soldier, many of whom had been in the service more than twenty years, disarmed. Damn, as they saw their rifles packed in the trunk, they felt so miserable in my life, "I never felt so miserable in my life," said Mingo Sanders, a pregnant Queen Pany. He who has been in the army type-ix years. "I feel like I'd hard to give up one of my children," I cocked. "It's all right, but it doesn't look like the right thing." That was the most, supplementary duty. We ever been called upon to perform, said one of the officers, who had changed of, the work of dimming. "To see the pathetic appeal in those old men's eyes was enough to melt any one. I feel so sorry for them from the bottom of my heart. I know they are, insecure of any wrongdoing, and it looks pretty hard to them." The damned troops will have battalion dull without arms at the fort to mourn morning. Their discharge without honor will occur in another day or two, when order arrives from Washington. Maj. Joseph L. Cobb of Oceans City, Gen. W. S. McCaskey in Oklahoma City this afternoon. The Major said to sight that the soldiers would be discharged immediately upon receipt of the official order. The second battalion of the Twenty-sixth Infantry, composed of four companies has arrived at Fort Reno from Sni Antonio, Texas. Major Charles W. Penrose, commanding at Fort Reno, was advised of the forwarding of the four companies from the headquarters of the Department of Texas. There are already three companies at Fort Reno besides the three companies of the Twenty-fifth, which are to be discharged without honor. Some of the disgraced soldiers believe that the extra troops are being brought here for the purpose of further humiliation by giving the public the idea that they are likely to make a disgrace when they get their discharge. The disgraced soldiers have been models in behavior since their transfer to Fort Reno and the post officers say that any trouble arising because of their discharge is out of the question. The soldiers say that the Washington station dispatch which tell of Gen. Garlington's thorough investigation of the Brownville rioting are untrue in many respects. They deny that he questioned all the men of the three companies privately concerning the affair. Several said to-day that the General refused to let them tell their stories of the trouble. "If we started to say anything," the soldiers say, "that tended to show the innocence of ourselves, he would say: 'All of them that will kill you.' Everybody who heard that should shoot for them. Everybody who deserved of shots fired 'that night,' that did not come from army guns. We heard and could see shots from six-shooters, Winchester and Springfield." Many of the Afro-Americans who are to be discharged busied themselves sorting out and packing up their belongings, which they expect to take with them when they leave the post. The majority, of them say that they are going directly to their homes. Some of the younger men are wielding for the day of their discharge with impatience. A half dozen said this afternoon that they had had enough of army life. To arrest any possible trouble following the dismissal of the soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, as a result of the riots at Brownville, Texas, last August, the War Department ordered a battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry for Roosevelt. It was reported to the War Department that some of the soldiers who are members of the companies upon which the disgrace has fallen are in aullen mood, and that there may be some disturbance. The formal order of the dismissal of the members of Companies B, C and D of the Twenty-fifth refinement, certain unknown members of which participated in the riots, was issued by the War Department by direction of the President. It discharges the men without honor and forever deprives them from re-emplacing in the army or navy; as well as from employment in any civil capacity under the Government. The only confirmation shown them in the allowance of travel pay, which will enable them to leave Fiji and may thus tend to insure trouble. It is said that this is the first instance . 7 o : . ee BRI ae Oe aT a a Bae MOORE ts ie Ree ee eee ee en eee ae a a Bs pet cn ae Pere OAT AREAS VRP pARA DEPT TD WO GOIN BS eee ae care rae ERC ROPE EL PSR EE RT BE AT Ph) Sees Rectan ea To med : ene as | Sepen eee eel Oe MES’ TO: 7M EEN YE Ls Rae Ni HALL, Bie moreeoanen ote Feat ee ce oe Set oe ee se E—| IGERANCHISE]| | prday Cem rele eset, at tag.

The meetings are held on day, afternoons. For the most part are seriously organised, held to- ter by constitutions and by laws and urged by the regulation officers. The frame for study and discussion cover wide range of subjects, from the Tran- dentialism of Emerson to the psychol- and morology of the latest outrages Minnesota or Georgia. These organisations have been going on increasing in numbers and influence the past five or six years until they now as permanent a part of the life of Afro-American community as the or the church itself. The Men's Club, the Standard Literary Society, Bethel Literary and Historical Club, the West Side Young People's Literature names as familiar as are the men of the leading churches. They are intensely interesting places drop in on Sunday afternoons. Here is possible for those who read to hear on Sunday to Sunday what are the notable articles contributed to curt literature, what new books have been written which should be owned and read every Afro-American, reports of all significant gatherings in the country, as the National Convention of the league, the Afro-American the Niagara Movement and the Congress, as well as the things interest and importance. almost more important than iterated subjects and interests and discussion is the oppo-frored by these clubs of seeing some of the prominent people walks of life. Men and women it in the great settlement work of Hull House, and the Chicago is, judges of the courts, leading on like Rabbit Hirech and Jenkins university professors and day Afro-American men and women of national prominence. In other words,atever is best and highest in the com- and surging life about us is brought Sunday to Sunday within reach anding of the ever increasing hundreds of Afro-American people who are beeping to realise that life is something more than mere money problem. Prominent men and women of the white races have gone away from these Sunday meetings confessing that they had not known until then Afro-Americans were of the ind and character of these they had met and addressed. I think it is safe to say that outside of political associations, the Sunday literary and study clubs afford not the only opportunity white people of seeing and knowing the best elefs of the race.there is no question about the perma-ny of these Sunday afternoon clubs are a necessary development of the living life of mind and interest in the range of things about us.

They tainly tend to keep front of the wing rather than mere nge. What is going on in the world and spirit? This is more import than what is going on in the world sports and petty politics. it is creditable to the churches that you encourage this intellectual and on- and movement, which is quite as open to the non-churchgoer as to the church minister. The churches have come to realize that all the good people are not in the churches and all the bad people are not outside of the churches. In affording a home for these literary societies, where free and untrammled discussion of vital questions is allowed, the Afro-American church is pursuing a course that will widen its own influence and will secure the support and co-operation of the new men and women who are destined to be the real leaders of the near future. o church has taken a long step in the action of serving the people when it exis a hospitable welcome to the scholar students of the day. The church can helped to a realization of its own pecial power when it can win and hold interest of the ever increasing number of young men and women who come from the schools and academies of learning. FANNIE BARRER WILLIAMS. Paid Frank Election Bet. PHILADELPHIA, November 12—Payment of a free election bet Saturday created no end of fun for the Federal employee in the postoffice. Elevator Operator John Quinn was a Gibboney man; Captain Henderson, the white muscled Afro-American watchman, was a Rotan supporter. It was agreed that the loser should carry the winner on his shoulders through the corridors of the fire building. Quinn promptly made and, as he wearily lingered Henderson over the building a troop of Federal employees who followed behind enjoyed it menially. Henderson paused at times slap Quinn on the back and exclaim: "ibbey certainly was good to me." The main meeting held under the auspices of the Women's Christian Temperance Union at the Concord Baptist church, Brooklyn; last Friday evening was a success in numbers, enthusiasm and helpful information hearing on women's part in the uplift of the race. Dr. William T. Dixon by request provided, and Mra. Lucy B. Thurman, president of the National Association of Colored Women, made the principal address. Mrs. Thurman, fresh from the world, Women's Christian Temperance Union, held recently in Boston, and from a lecturing tour in the New England States, was well prepared with first-hand information, and in a ringing speech discussed women's club life from the fireside to the public platform. She did not mince words, but upheld the right, condemned the wrong and gave unstinted praise to those who had brought things to pass for the good of the people. In speaking of race leaders, the speaker scored the men for not recognizing fully any one of their sex as the real leader. She said that Booker T. Washington had done a great work for our people and shared largely in their confidence, but not as much as he deserved. Mr. Thurman lauded Mrs. Washington for the self-sacrificing work which she has done and is doing for the women in the rural districts of Alabama and other sections of the South, and also for her work in the National association. Mrs. Thurman is full of hope for her people, and said that with patience, loyalty, educated leaders who have the best interest of the race at heart no barrier would be too great to overcome. She said that one of the things which gave her great encouragement at the Boston convention was the testimony of a delegate from Switzerland, who said that "Dr. Washington's book, 'Up From Slavery,' has been the inspiration of the youth of our country since its translation into their tongue." Mrs. Thurman is away from home six months of the year working among the women, creating public sentiment in our favor and giving kind instruction to those who are struggling under weighty burdens. Her address Friday night gave a new meaning to club work and will go far toward stimulating the women to higher aims and richer accomplishments. Miss M. R. Lyons, a veteran public school teacher of Brooklyn, made a brief address calling attention to the importance of the work and urged the ladies to keep in close touch with Mrs. Thurman. Mrs. M. J. Zeno spoke in behalf of the clubs here and of the high esteem in which they held the speaker of the evening. Dr. Dixon also spoke words of encouragement to the women, asked for a collection to assist them in their work, and received $15.15. Mrs. Thurman was the guest of Col. and Pierre Zeno white here and received several calls from the leading clubs, both Afro-American and white, to speak for them, but had to decline on account of previous engagements in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. FARMERS' INSTITUTE'S FIFTH SESSION AT LINCOLN Agriculturist Jackson Shows Fine Exhibit of His Crops. JEFFERSON City, Mo. November 12.—The Farmers' Institute inaugurated in Lincoln Institute by President Allen on his ascension to the presidency of the institution, as an integral part of its work, convened in its fifth annual session on November 9. An enthusiastic and very helpful meeting was held. The Globe Democrat, and other metropolitan papers of wide circulation, gave extended accounts of the proceedings. Farmer Jackson, of Boone, one of the richest counties in the State, brought an excellent exhibit of fruits from his orchards and of, other crops, while his account of his struggles up from the humble beginning to the present, when he owns and controls a large farm, well stocked and under excellent cultivation, was an unparalleled object lesson to the hundreds of young men and women in the student body. This annual day is given over to the farmers, their wives and daughters, and undoubtedly from year to year more and more interest will be taken. Great credit it is due Dr. B. F. Allen, the originator of the movement in this State. In all probability he will receive from the causing Missouri Legislature a neat appropriation with which to prosecute the work along this broader lines. President Allen's annual address to the convention was a strong plan for agriculture and other industrial occupations as the basis of the Afro-American's development. THREAT FOR LEOPOLD FROM LORD PRIVY SEAL Other Powers May Have to Remedy Congo Evils. LONDON, November 9.—The new Lord Mayor, Sir William Purdy Treloar, was inaugurated to-day with the usual ceremonies. The customary banquet was given to night at the Guildhall, the official residence of the Lord Mayor, and was attended by the usual crowd of Ministers, Ambassadors and other notable men. In the absence of the Prime Minister Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, the Marquia of Ripon, Lord Privy Seal, was the chief speaker. Reviewing foreign affairs, he said that although at the time the Algeciras' conference opened there was a somewhat uncomfortable prospect. It had resulted through the mutual forbearance of the Powers, in greatly improving and strengthening the confidence in European peace. All the indications now pointed to peace being assured. Referring to the Congo Independent State, the Marquis said that the primary duty of putting things right there belonged to Belgium. If she did not accept the duty Great Britain would have to consider whether it was possible to act in concert with other Powers to remedy the ceilis. Expert Jeweler Dead. NEWARK, N.J., November 12.—William Jones, an Afro-American jeweler, was buried Sunday with Masonic honors.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., November 12—The session of the Southern Immigration and Quarantine Conference in this city to day had not proceeded far when the race question became the topic of debate, and it occupied the attention of the delegates for most of the day. The sentiment of the delegates was manifested early in the day in the burst of applause which greeted Gov. Cox of Tennessee when he said in his address of welcome that the South alone should deal with the Afro-American. The Afro-American must be protected and his rights preserved, he added, but political rights must be taken away from the low and vicious of the race. This sentiment was further indorsed when Gov. D. C. Heyward of South Carolina was wildly cheered after an address in which he declared that immigration would yet solve the race problem. In speaking of the plan to deport Afro-Americans, Gov. Heyward said deportation could not be attempted unless it became a National and not a Southern movement. Such a movement, he said, would not be attempted until the race problem is better understood and more acute in the North than it is now. Gov. Heyward did not believe that the antagonism between the races in the South was as serious as land been reported. "That conditions are far from satisfactory, I will admit," he said, "but I do not believe that the Southern people are standing on a volcano and that we are not far removed from a race war. One race riot in Atlanta, condemned by the people and press of Atlanta and the South, does not mean a race war any more than a similar riot in Ohio is a forerunner of a massacre throughout the North. "Any solution of our race problem in the South lies as much with the Negro as with the white man, but one of the greatest barriers to any advancement of the Negro is his natural indolence. This explains his failure to use his opportunity, and in this he alone is responsible for the disastrous results which follow.

BALNBRIDGE, Ga., November 10.—(Special) The A. M. E. conference opened here Thursday, with Bishop H. M. Turner presiding. Dr. P. W. Greatheart conducted devotional exercises. Bishop Turner arose and addressed the conference, saying: "I regret to speak concerning the constant press reports and the feeling that seems to exist between the two races, especially in certain sections of our country. The Atlanta episode a few weeks ago was the greatest misfortune that has ever happened to the two races in this section. It was all the worse for the reason that the better classes in both races looked to Atlanta for intelligence, for assurance, Christianity and race respect, the one for the other. This jargon of bad Negroes was no excuse, for there is not a city in this country where the better classes of the two races are more rapidly agreeing to stand for law and order. The riot caused more suffering, wounded feelings and business to be injured, families wrecked for all time among the best people of my race in that city than among all the bad Negroes in the South. I have advised the race to go to Africa. The Atlanta trouble is the greatest proof of the wisdom and judgment of my project than anything. In the name of all that is good and righteous what do you see in this country for the black man but constant trouble? He is attempting to do two things, to migrate North and West or often retaliate, either of which has a threatening cloud for the future. Afro-American Council Scorea Booneycl The local Afro-American Council of Jersey City held an enthusiastic meeting Monday evening at St. Mark's A. M. E. Zion church. Addresses were made by Lauren T. Spargins and Mr. George K. King.

The President's recent cordial greeting to some of the members of a Tennessee mob was denounced.

Dishonorably Discharged Honorable Soldiers We give in another column of THE ASEX to-day the opinions of some of the best newspapers in the country upon the extraordinary action of President Roosevelt in ordering the dishonorable discharge of a battalion of the Twenty- Fifth Infantry for declining to turn spy and infilmer upon conrades alleged to have been concerned in the Brownsville riot. The New York World characterizes the order of the President as "executive lynch law." The New York Times declares that the action of the President "is in flat contravention of that provision of the Constitution which declares that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without "due process of law." The New York Bombing Post says that "Our President has decided upon a punishment . . . which is without precedent in the annals of the army," and further: "To our mind, Mr. Roosevelt has established a most perilous precedent, besides doing a grave wrong to many innocent servants of the country. In his desire to let the South see that he is as ready to punish the misconduct of blacks as of whites, he has leaned over backwards." "A West Pointer," writing to The New York Times, says: "All honor to the Black Battalion that would rather be disbanded than to do a dishonorable act! Their is the spirit of which heroes are made." We still adhere to the opinion and advise that no Afro-American should enlist to take the places of the displaced soldiers and that if they do their names should forevermore be anathema. We still adhere to the opinion and advise that Afro-Americans in all of the four regiments do not reutilize when their term expires, and that other Afro-Americans should not offer to fill their places. We still adhere to the opinion and advise that if Afro-Americans cannot have justice done them in the army, and they have never had it, they should reman out of it, unless conscripted. When the Spanish-American War broke out T. McCants Stewart, then a citizen of New York, and Mr. Fortune recruited a regiment and offered its services to the State of New York, with the proviso that the regiment would not serve unless all of its officers, from sergeants to Colonel, should be Afro-American. Governor Frank S. Black declined the tender and undertook to read the committee a lecture on their "feverish desire" to get into the war, which the committee cut short, or it it was rightly thought that that phase of the matter was none of Governor Black's business. The regiment was then offered to President McKinley, who referred the matter to Secretary of War Alger, who never even acknowledged the tender, we believe, because, we believe, he would have none of the Afro-American officer side of it. We gave it out then and we give it out now that we would not enlist in the Federal army, nor advise any Afro-American to do it, in time of peace or war, unless we were assured of the same opportunities for promotion in the service that white men enjoy. Patriotism? We love our country as much as it loves us; no more, no less. We never believed that President Roosevelt could bring himself to adopt in the Federal service the mob law methods of the Southern States—to punish the innocent with the alleged guilty. Barbarons Southern Anarchists.

Is sort of barbarity and the repell it more than enough to prosecute horror and protests of mankind? did it not do so? And is not the permanent of a state where such things in be purely anarchistic and not republican in form? We defy Clark Howell of The Atlanta Constitution to answer these questions, and to swallow the malicious falsehood, although it gag him blue in the face, that lynch law is resorted to to protect the white man's home from black brutes. That the allegation is a studied falsehood is shown for establishing publicity of the battle. He also liberated the General in an article by William H. Gunnell, Professor of Resistance in Trinity College, Durham, N. C., where it is made to appear that of the 222 bounties in the Southern States (1896-9). So are accrued to marty and attempted rage, so against all for murder, the regular being for expiracy or so effusive as all. When a whole people fail, both diligence is abandoned to justify government by authority, the time must come when the mask will be torn from their faces and the contempt and nown of memorial be heaped upon them. "Leave us alone to settle the most problem!" rail Clayt Howell and a great man of Southern white men. You; leave you alone to murder black men, alleged to be criminal, and to associate their helpless women "without due prosecution of law!" So the vile Riseans demand that they shall be left alone to deal with the Jew! So the infamous Belgian King demands that he be left alone to settle the question of his government of the native blacks of the Congo Free State! So the Slave Oligarch ancestors of the Southern whites of to-day demanded that they be left alone to solve the black slave problem! Was the demand acceded to? It was not! Will it be now? It will not! Southern government by anarchy must go. We demand it now. The people of this Republic will have ultimately to demand it in self-defense. This Government cannot again be made "half slave, half free." It is not written in the books or in the hearts of the American people. --- The Voice of Joseph Benson Foraker In these Mammon-loving times of peace, when there is no peace, and the mouths of men in high places are shut tight and sealed with giant glue upon the question of the wrongs inflicted upon the Afro-American people by the laws and the mob spirit of the Southern States, because these alleged statesmen are ambitious for power or for wealth, we turn with pleasure and relief to the masterful eration of Senator Joseph Benson Foraker of Ohio, delivered before the Society of the Army of the Cumberland, at Chattanooga, Teen., October 17, last for the full text of which we are indebted to Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Cleveland Gazette. In this oration Senator Foraker traced the causes which led up to the War of the Rebellion, and drew some lessons from it which are not flattering to our National pride nor argue well for the future peace and happiness of the Republic. Senator Foraker's words of warning are almost as impressive as were those of Alexander Stephens, delivered before the Georgia Secession Convention, January 17, 1861, and perhaps they will be heeded as little, for none are so deaf as those who will not hear. But in due time, when the hosts of reason, of equality under the law, of "a square deal," under the Constitution walk around the walls of injustice and wrong and blow loud blasts upon their trumpets, rest assured that the walls will fall down. They did so at last in the fierce contention over the question of slavery; they have done so in every epoch of the world's bloody history, when right and wrong have joined the issue, and they will always do it. In the course of his oration Senator Foraker said: It seems incredible that the Government that is all-powerful to accomplish the long list of splendid achievements mentioned—that is all-powerful to do the works that have been wrought at home and abroad—is yet, nevertheless, incapable of protecting at home, on our own soil, under our own flag. In the enjoyment of all of his Constitutional and political rights, our bumbleest citizen. As a people they have ever been loyal to American institutions and loyal to the American flag. In every war through which the country has passed they have, so far as we have permitted them to do so, borne an honorable part. And yet it would seem as though this every great achievement and the progress they are making are to-day militating against their happiness and their security. All attempts by lynching or other forms of violence will be found, if perished in, just as odious to the American people of this day as was slavery to the American people of 1561.5. This is a plain, an eloquent statement of the Afro-American's case in equity. It has echoed around the Republic. It must make men, think. It must provoke action somewhere to correct it. Where else than in the Federal Congress? How? By getting at the facts officially by the authorization of a Commission to investigate and report upon the actual condition of the former slaves and their descendants manumitted by the Thirteenth Amendment and enfranchised by the Fifteenth Amendment, the inestimable guarantee of both of which have been abridged or nullified in every one of the former slave States. When the facts have been secured in this way the American people will be officially informed and the Congress can act intelligently. Will Senator Foraker introduce such a bill in the Federal Senate? We think so, for we know that he has the courage of his convictions, whatever the policy of his party may be. The New Orleans Times-Sentinel voices the importance of all of the Southern Burhars, who "learn nothing and forget nothing," when it says: Mr. Foraker ought to be reasonably familiar with the Constitution of the United States, and be ought to know something of the decisions of the Supreme Court on the "equality clauses" of the instrument; in the presence of the Constitution and these decisions, covering every possible aspect of the Negro's pretended constitutional rights, what power has the Federal Government to deal with the problem here discussed? Mr. Foraker is preaching a new and dangerous doctrine. State governments cannot be further trampled without definition, and the residuary政权 will left them by the national charter. The American people, we believe, are not yet prepared for a change so utterly of variance with the plan and purpose of the pioneers. There is a sadder view to take of Mr. Foraker's intemperate utterance. He has aided in the spread, and perpetuation of the most persistent and many cases of the secession. The Supreme Court has decided then to the law as supported by Chief Justice Tennyson, repealing the three War Amendments, in ten opinions on the Summer Cities Rights law and in the Ku-Klux Shanghai House case, but the district of the Court has been no more accepted in these cases than was that of Dred Scott by the American people, and will not be, even if further abdication of the residency rights of the States shall be necessary. It all drops upon the new, now as it did before, the War. And the Supreme Court has not passed upon the disfriending and purported car laws of the South except as to particular parts of them. No well-didned case under either law has been presented squarely to the Supreme Court. The Federal Government has ample power to deal with the whole question, as The Times-Democrat will find by consulting section two of article thirteen, sections one and five of article fourteen, and section two of article fifteen. It remains for a man of Senator Foraker's reputation and influence to fetch up the question in the Senate by the introduction of such a bill for the authorization of a commission to investigate and report upon the facts in the whole case, as we have indicated. We wager a doughnut to a brickshaft that The Times-Democrat will oppose the enactment of such a bill. Why? Because— No thief ever felt the hatter draw With good opinion of the law. It is possible that Joseph Benson Foraker will be a candidate for the Republican nomination. for President two years hence. He is one of the oldest and best of the Republican warriors still on the firing line. If he will add to the platform he made in the last Congress on the Railway Rate question a plank demanding that the States of the South shall give to their citizens, "without regard to race, color or previous condition of servitude." a "republican form of government," he will be astonished at the number of good Americans who would rally to his standard. It is up to Senator Foraker to make good. Col: Pitcher, Feb. In another column of THE AGE to day we reproduce a Washington dispatch from The Chicago Daily Tribune in which it is said "There is reason to believe that Booker T. Washington is at the bottom of Colonel Pitcher's troubles, though this cannot be established definitely." The dispatch was dated November 7. October 30th the editor of THE AGE forwarded to the President a letter containing the clipping concerning the differences of Colonel Pitcher, and we dare say this was the first time the matter was called to his attention. It is highly probable that the President acted in the Pitcher matter upon the advice of Mr. Washington, as he would be more disposed to listen to him than to our Mr. Fortune. It would have been well for the President's reputation and good name if he had also listened to Dr. Washington's advice not to order the discharge of the Twenty-fifth battalion, alleged to have been concerned in the Brownville riot. And Col. Pitcher has denied the allegation and will perhaps defy the allegator. Complaint is being made that Itallians are being induced to go to the Southern States by false representations. In Louisiana and Mississippi, where large numbers of Italians have settled, the alleged native whites cannot conceal their dislike of the descendants of the Cewars. They are kicked and cuffed and lynched at pleasure, and the "poor white trash" of Bolivar County. Miss, do not want them to attend their public schools. Any sort of foreign immigrant will find the Southern States mighty good places to shum. The South is rich beyond the dreams of aversion, but the law and public opinion are rotten to the core. Before they will be acceptable places of domicile the Southern States pursue purge, purge contempt for law and legal processes and of prejudice based in race and condition. In short, the South must be born again. --- It looks as though a realignment of party membership had met in for keeps. If all of the discontented of the Republic could flock together under one banner there would soon be a political revolution of, the most radical sort. --- Col. Le Grand Bouton Cannon of New York, who recently died at his summer home in Vermont, was one of the most active and helpful men in the Union cause during the war in raising troops and money. He was greatly interested in the raising of Afro-American troops and in the welfare of the contrabands in and about Fortress Monroe, and drew up a report, and a member of a commission appointed by President Lincoln to investigate their condition, the adoption of which constituted "virtually a declaration of emancipation nine months before the Proclamation of Emancipation was issued by President Lincoln." Col. Cannon was a successful business man as well as a stamper patriot, and the Afro-American people should be grateful to him for the good work he did for the Republic and for them. --- It is very discouraging to have the Federal Government adopt Southern lynch law methods in dealing with alleged criminals and those who presumably sympathise with them. Where is the thing going to end? Where does 'legal process' come in? --- The Ion, Joseph C. Manning, the stalwart Southern Republican, is making his newspaper, the Alexander City (Alc.) Southern American, a strong and uncompromising champion of "a square deal" for all of the citizens of the South. His paper is only fifty cents a year, and he should have the support of all those who wish to change the fearful condition of affairs which the unconstructed white men have hitched upon all of the people of the Southern States. --- It will be many years before American control of the affairs of Cuba shall be restored to the Cuban people, and may be restored to the Cuban people, never be restored to them. We are intended that the diplomacy between the countries of the archipelago bodies of the Cebu Islands made American intervention and control possible. Directives in Cuba denied that the American Government might control Cebu, and the demand to be reinforced by a strong public contingent in this country. --- Now, will the IBM William Randolph Hearst be good and plain to the newspaper work, wherein he is it? a vocabulary lesson after a fashion, and now we begin about where he is it? a vocabulary lesson to depict it. When the head be it, it takes sixty thousand votes behind the path of it ought to teach the hand to stand from the hand to the foot, and the amount of popular drubbing at the polls and the newspaper pages will convince me. How much the he is it? a painful impossibility. A black man marched, wigged, Min., charged with grand larceny, harried blissin in his home and shot a deputy abelf, but afterward surrendered. A mob of white men wrecked the fall with dynamite and took the man out of the rains and riddled him with bullets. When it was learned of the attack of armed robbers to comprete the prisoner the white went forth to meet it. When the two met five hundred shots, were exchanged, one white man being killed and several wounded. Bravo! That's the stuff! Do it again! The number of blacks killed and wounded was not reported. It does not matter. The main point is that the white mob got what was "coming to it." It should be that way all of the time. "An eye for an tooth for a tooth," saith the Good Book --- Why does not the Afro-American voice of New York State amount to something for itself? Because it is the bond birding of the Republican politicians who do not care a rap for it except to use it. It has always been that way. Will it always be that way? Perhap. Some are born foolish others have foolishness thrust upon them; and others achieve foolishness. It all leads to a condition of degradation and contempt. --- The mayors of the following cities have forbidden the Clanman to be played in their cities: Mobile and Montgomery, Ala.; Macon, Ga.; and Philadelphia, Pa. Mobile was the first city to swipe the reptile in his pocket. ```markdown ``` In Massachusetts during the last election, Dardman, of Mississippi, Hoke Smith of Georgia, Ben Tillman of South Carolina, and John Hancock of Florida favored and supported the Democratic vote. --- If the Niagara Movement has any special cure for the lills the Afro-American race suffers, it is inexplicable that the worst racial conditions we have had? In many years exist in Atlanta. Ga., where Dr. Du Bols has littered for ten years and had an opportunity to exert his influence among both blacks and whites. Atlanta has also been the headquarters of Mr. J. Max Barber, one of the leaders of the Niagara Movement for several years. In fact, Atlanta has been the head and center of the Niagara Movement and that school of thinkers, for several years. If the Movement has any good in oil, or ought to show itself right in the city where it has its headquarters. --- So the Constitutional League seeks to reduce Southern representation. Do our people realise that, the minute Southern representation is cut off (practically, no Afro Americans will be sent to National Republican conventions, and that that is the only national body now through which our people can have a voice in National africa? The constitutional League seeks to cut off these delegates. Further, if representation is cut down in any Southern state, it will not help the Afro-American one lota except to bring those States to the point where they will disfrandise all persons with a black skin, and to disfrandise all conditions. I certainly will not be a cure for present conditions to make it impossible for any Afro-American to vote in the South. This is the logical result of the efforts of the Constitutional League in this matter, on that score we oppose its program. President to Treat Race Problem in Next Message? From The New York Times The Chicago Tribune's Washington correspond remarks: No feature of the message President Roosevelt has written is so charged with dynamite as that which discusses the relations of whites and Negroes. It is to be seriously doubted that the President intends to dynamite the White House and others alike at the White House who resent the idea that the Negro question should be treated at all in a Presidential message ought to be, as they probably will be disbused. Wetmore in the Campaign Conspicuous among those who are entitled to credit for the notable Republican history in this State is Mr. J. Douglas Wetmore, the well-known colored lawyer of this city. Mr. Wetmore took an active part in the effort to establish a co-educational and highly effective speeches to large gatherings in various parts of the city. The arguments which he advanced in favor of Mr. Hughes and the other Republican candidates were logical and conducive, but can be no doubt that they were instrumental in winning many votes for the ticket. Mr. Wetmore has, for some time, occupied a prominent position at the local bar and is known as a lawyer of sound ability and experience. Anside from his profession, he has always taken a keen interest in public affairs and, within the lines of his party, has done all in his power to advance the cause of the African-American Council, the leading colored civil organization in America. Mr. Wetmore's practice is a large and important one. The Atlanta, Georgia Parker II. become in to sorrow. In humanity's brutal treatment of the weak and impoverished alike and everywhere, else were not sufficient to stamp our civilization thus far a failure, and our brutalization under the modern system complete, surely a true story of the Atlanta race who wrote that the Atlanta race wrote that the white folks could stand as evidence of our total deprivacy sure and complete. Every one familiar with the facts in Atlanta knows that this war against the white folks all happened for weeks and months prior to the outbreak, and that at least three of the reports of attacks on white women by Negroes on the day of the outbreak were pure inventions timed in order to impede the movement by those to whose interests it was to break down Negro prestige. Mam Who Saved Representation from Courage to Occupation. November 22—One of the most interesting and exciting elections in the history of party politics in Maine, the election which occurred on the 6th foot—that and the revivalous must-bust campaign which provided it. Not only did he lift the impound in the commercial-funded jury the day of General Butler—quarter-four years ago, 1849 did Glen, Baker's first campaign of 1852, when he was elected Governor, or the more treasured one of 1858, when he was defeated, surpass the one just closed in popular heat and enthusiasm. Not even the hero of New Orleans drew more crowds as were drawn by John B. Moran in Boston. Nor did the old warrior, make a more gallant fight against opposing odds than, was made by the physically weak but morally indemnifiable district attorney of Suffolk county for the governorship. Gen. Butler had arrayed against him the wealth and respectability and conservatism of the State, backed, by the press of the State. This tremendous combination he beat in 1882, but it beat him in 1883. John B. Moran had arrayed against him a combination of wealth and respectability and conservatism even more powerful, more formidable, for he had to fight all this in his own party, all the jealousy of rival Irishmen, and it is reported all the omnipotent influence of the Roman Catholic Church into the bargain, backed by a nearly unanimous press. Gen. Butler was at the height of his fame and popularity when he made his two great campaigns for the governorship of Massachusetts—military and civile. He was then, as he had been for well nigh a generation, a commanding figure in State and National politics, a great lawyer, a great statesman, a famous soldier. He was, besides, a man of large wealth, a millionaire, in fact. Everybody knew him from the Berkshires to Cape Cod, and everybody either admired him or almost inequilateral him. He knew men, he knew how to use them. For he had gathered about him some of the threwest and ablest party managers in the State—men who knew how to manipulate votes and to win them on the stump and at the polls. Gen. Butler had done something else to strengthen immensely his cause with the people—he had won the support and the unequaled voice of the greatest of American orators, Wendell Phillips, who had the gift of auring great audiences as no other orator in the Republic has ever awayed them. John B. Moran, on the other hand, is a poor man. A year ago he was not known outside of the city of Boston, and in Boston he was not known, had not been heard of by the great majority of his fellow citizens. His remarkable, whirlwind campaign for the district attorneyship of Suffolk county, in which he beat two machines, the Republican and the Democratic, won him instant recognition and a position in county politics as unique as it was conspicuous. He has made things him in the district attorney's office for nearly a year, and so Boston knows and has very good reason for cutting off the officer from the foot to the head of his slight body, charged through and through with nervous energy and dynamic force enough to keep a city of 600,000 souls on the keen edge of expectancy. He stands in a certain sense alone. He is the district attorney's office, the whole presenting shooting match of Suffolk county. And this individual aloofness of the man, his personal isolation and independence of party organization and machinery is at once his strength and weakness. The reformer, whether in the realm of morals or politics, needs numbers, organization, close and tried friends at his back, at his side, to give his cause the adequate impetus a *tergo*, to hold up his hands like the hands of Moses were upheld by Joshua and Hur while the armies of good and evil were locked in the gripppe. Before Moran was able to get the Democratic party's nomination he had to do what Gen. Butler did before him, smash the party machine. But when Gen. Butler had smashed the Democratic party machine in his day and generation he had a more effective one to put in its place. Not as Moran. For when he had smashed the party machine he had no other substitute to fill the office which it had filled. From that moment there was no machine none but Moran, the man on fire, the man burning up with his one supreme passion and purpose to carry his ideas his volcanic spirit of revolt against the evils which he saw about him into the Governor's chair on Beacon Hill. The man was one sheet of fire, ablaze in the mind of him and in the heart of him, in every quivering nerves of his thin and aching body, lunged at him. People do not really laugh at a man in such terrible earnest as was this man, however they may pretend to do so. The newspapers pretended to laugh, but the newspapers were putting up one of the biggest games of bluff ever put up by them in Boston. How could they really laugh when every one of them within the city and outside of it was afraid because the shrewdest of them was not certain that Moran was really beaten until the night of the election? For this man almost single handed and in a sense standing alone filled State and Beacon streets with doubt, filled every household in the commonwealth with doubt, and kept the party and an almost omnipresent scientific press, guessing till the returns were counted on the night of the fifth last. Without money he hurried himself ablaze with the passion of moral convictions against the organized wealth of Massachusetts, against the vast entrenchments of corporate power; and there was not a man with a dollar of that organized wealth and protected by corporate power in the State, who did not tremble behind the breastworks of all this treasury. He fought this battle with power; with prejudice, with party machinery, with religious and race narrowness and bigotry, with a vehemence of moral conviction, with an audacity of statement, with a sublime indifference to the forces arrayed against him; fongit it with a power of physical endurance and an indifference of mind that was simply magnificent. How he hold out night after night for weeks nobody knows. A much stronger force invincible of this thing, with his supremely length of moral convictions, must have failed by the wayside, fallen on the field of battlelong before the end of the campaign. He Will apologize and apologize to you, but let me apologize to you, and thank you for being in his life and the battle for peace. Believe within him again, he will acknowledge with strength enough in his free liberty to think to listening thousands when to "W" is blessed impatiently. John M. Moran wrote Massachusetts politically and for many years on the hills as so ten men have shelter her for two decades. John Brown Moran was no ugly politician cooking votes with the smiling of the demagogue. Who matters the people whom he displaces. Not at all, but quite the reverse. He struck people and he incurs when a vulgar and humiliating politician would have insight to win to his side by a direct alliance at home relative to their own colonization and enslavion. He struck out at Douglas, Whitney and Quaily and at the lower house with outfits without tives. He included the name of Tom Lewis to take William for his election exequies, delivered him $11,000. He decided to detain him, make exemption of campaign, to this he struck bravely, finally for beginning to end. There was need of more money all through his campaign, but he never cried baby, nor went back on the determination not to use money except for legitimate campaign expenses. He knew no man by the color of his skin. Before him all men, whether black or white, was equal before the law, equal at the bar of American citizenship. He begged no one to vote for him. On the contrary, he appealed to voters to use their intelligence, to study carefully what he stood for and what his opponent stood for and to cast their votes in accordance with a decision thus reached. If he stands for what is best vote for him, was his injunction, otherwise they were not to vote for him. He felt on the 6th outside of town, but did he? No, he did not fail. No man with such courage of conviction, with wisdom, with courage and purpose ever really fails. He wins always, whether the world knows if or not. John B. Moran occupies to-day morally and politically a more commanding position in Massachusetts than Otis Guild, Jr., who defended him for the governorship of the grand old commonwealth of Massachusetts. BLACK SOLDIER SPEAKS Low Methods Used to Frighten More Into "Prechase." I am deeply moved by that most infamous of orders discharging the men of Company B, C and D. 25th Infantry. As I noticed in a previous issue of your paper a reprint of an article from The New York Times on the subject quite favorable to our men, I hope there are enough decent white editors left in the Army to protect against this unwarranted action against the country to the great wrong done us. It would seem to me that this debarring of citizens of the United States from obtaining employment under the Government without any process of law is illegal; and while I must plead guilty to being one of those so often delayed by you for not supporting the Afro-American Council, I must say that it is unfortunate that we do not support an organization for the prevention of such rages. I recognise it as just that the civil service laws be such that a man discharged without honor from the army be debarred from obtaining employment in a civil capacity under the government; but if such be the case no one man, not even the President, without any form of trial, without process of law, alone should decide when a man's service shall have been with honor; if now stands the President at his desk, charge every colored man in the army and debar him from employment under the government. The army register shows that Colonel Garlington was born in South Carolina and appointed from Georgia; so, while I have found the section of an officer's birthplace or residence has but little if any effect upon his treatment of colored soldiers, it seems that the President has simply played into the hands of a "Nigger hater" or "Nigger hailer" from the South, who, like Pitcher, also a Southerner, a Texan, would like to have all the colored regiments disbanded. Colored soldiers are so placed that they are at the mercy of any white hoodlum who may desire to molest them, and they have no redress. They cannot defend themselves. If they do and are on a military reservation they are court-martialled; if off, they are surrendered to the mercy of the civil authorities. Recently when a lynching of one of our men was threatened at our very doors the officers took no steps to prevent it; when the soldiers, seeing the indifference of the officers, went out themselves to prevent the lynching, troops were sent out under officers to intercept them; and the authorities, failing to find out who the men were who took matters into their own hands they met the men of comrade abandoned by his officers, laid the blame on the non-commissioned officers, reducing several in addition to sentencing one to six and one to three months confinement, because they would not prevent their men from going out to prevent the lynching of one of their number. I have it from reliable sources that in attempting to locate the ones who forcibly took their arms from under lock and key, certain officers while questioning separately the seven or eight men under suspicion went to the extent of openly lying to them, saying that they had been peached on by their comrades and that unless they confessed they would be sent to prison. It is a very commendable showing that of the score or more of the incidents in the Brownville affair, one could be intimidated into turning traitor. I write you this because I feel that as you will write on this subject you should know of the incidents related above and also of the feeling engendered among the soldiers. AFRO-AMERICAN SOLDIER. ..... November 9, 1906. Black Men Vardaman's Superior. From the St. Paul Tobee Press. In the attempts made by men of the Vardaman tribe to use the criminal tendencies of a few blacks as evidence that Negroes are not "men" in the sense in which the term is applied to whites, are easily answered by the fact that the black race has representatives in America who lower intellectually and morally far above such a specimen of the genus homo na Vardaman himself. There are dozens who could distance the Mississippi Governor in his views on the black race as well as in a competitive examination in literature science, or qualifications for almost any position.

RESIDENTIAL LYNCH LAW Northern White and Af- rican American Press Scores Him SMITH ALONE PRAISES Symposium of Editorial Comment on Rensselaer's Dismissal of 89th Infantry President Reagan's adoption, in the case of three companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, of the characteristic phases of lych-law—namely, the punishment of the lanceout with the guilty without legal trial—has for once lined up the white North solidly against the white South. The Northern prism, those even whose admiration for the President amounted to a belief in his infallibility, have found his outrageous treatment of the Afro-American veterans too disgusting to swallow, and are denouncing it with sorrow and indignation. The Southern white pres, of course, is jubilant, as the naueacing extracts show, which we print on this page from The Atlantic Constitution and The New Orleans Times Democrat. The Afro-American press unanimously condemns the President, and we quote editorials in this tenor from some of our best journals. PRESIDENT BROKE THE LAW. Discharge of Troops Violate Provision of Custitution. The action of the President in directing the dishonorable discharge of all the enlisted men of three companies of infantry is entirely unprecedented. The announcement of it will grate harshly upon the ears of those who are accustomed to believe that they are living under a Government of laws. It seems incredible that the Secretary of War, who is an accomplished lawyer, can criticize him, addressed to him, or been consulted about it beforehand. The report of Gen. Garlington is by no means that all the men thus discharged had been guilty either of the lawless conduct he had been investigating or of any offense known either to civil or military law. They had simply shown an unwillingness, as he viewed it, to tell all they knew about the affray in question. If they had told all they knew, Gen. Garlington he thinks, he would be able to identify the persons actually and criminally responsible, comparatively few as he admits them to have been. Evidently, on this state of facts, it would be absolutely out of the question to frame an indictment that would hold in any civil court. Apparently it would be an impossible to frame charges that would hold before a military court. The discipline of the United States Army is not a matter of arbitrariness and caprice. It is embraced in certain well-defined and understood and published documents—the Articles of War and the Regulations of the United States military-historic base have wider latitude than civil courts, and rightly, "Conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman" is conduct which it is well that no attempt should be made to define beforehand with scientific exactness. Much must be left to the discretion of the court martial, checked by the discretion of the reviewing authority. But that a court-martial should have power to discharge a whole battalion of soldiers because they had secreted what they knew would be a stretch of authority beyond the proper competency of such a tribunal. Much more beyond the authority of the President, on the simple, commendation of his military, to inflict upon the battalion of men the severity of dishonorable discharge and incapacity to be employed in the military or civil service of the Government without any trial or protense of trial whatsoever. It is in flat contravention of that provision of the 'Constitution which declares that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property "without due process of Jaw." ROOSEVELT'S HARSHNESS. Twenty-fifth's Gallant Record in Cuba Recalled. From The New York Sun. In ordering the dishonorable discharge of a battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, a Negro regiment, as recommended, Inspector General E. A. Garlington, Assistant Roosevelt has set a precedent which may be invoked in the future not some other regiment in the service if it should fail to inform against its black sheep. The conduct of men in the ranks of the Twenty-fifth at Brownville on the night of August 13, 1906, was atrocious and called for long terms in a military prison, if not for the detail of a firing squad; but it is no new thing for soldiers "to stand together in a determination to resist the detection of the guilty" to quote from the report of General Garlington, who was baffled by the conspiracy of silence and maintained that it jointly demanded discharge of the men in a battalion, the innocent with the guilty, the veterans of Caney with new recruits. A soldierly record is no extenuation of the black crime of killing and wounding civilians, whom it is the duty of the soldier to protect, but should not honorable service be taken into account in inflicting punishment upon a whole battalion because some of its members have been blackguards and murderers, and others, from a false sense of comradeship, have refused to teatify in an investigation? The Twenty-fifth bore itself worthy in his Cuban campaign, vying with the white troops of General Lawton's command in fearlessness and efficiency. Colonel A. S. Daggett, who commanded he regiment in the assault, Caney, reported to the Adjutant General that he battalion in General Companies and D. M. forming with B the battalion which is to be dismissed in disgrace from the service, charged ahead the line of Miles' brigade upon the se fort, and that a private of D and other of Company H captured the fish flag. Colonel Daggett claimed I the knights for the Twenty-fifth day; but although receiving the good work of the augment, General Gunze doubted that men of the Twenty-fifth were the first to enter the fort. The record, however showed that the Negroes behaved with great gallanty. Could not some compamy punishment have been devised to teach the offending battles a lesson, such as but not for a prosecution in a humane manner, in addition to abhorrence. The assignment might have been on the commissioned officers, but they altogether illumination for the sake of the men and the shortcomings of the non-commissioned officers when General Gunze condemned in his report? President Roscoff's estimation of the Negro regiment is high. He is by by by that Colonel W. L. Pitcher of the Twenty-fifth infantry be court-martialled for language reflecting upon Negro soldiers as a clue. If Colonel Pitcher was correctly reported as saying that he did not care to be associated with Negro soldiers and would like to see them out of the service. The President believes that such a settlement, if uttered by an officer who may be assigned to command a Negro regiment, would be a good thing. If Pitcher, if he is guilty, could be punished too harshly; and most people, we think, will believe that the men and non-commissioned officers of the Twenty-fifth not implicated in the murderous outbreak at Brownville will be punished too harshly by dismissal from the army and disqualification to serve the Government in any civil capacity hereafter. ROOSEVELT'S UNFAIRNESS. Parallel Case of White Troops Where Officers Were Punished. From The Cleveland Plan Dealer. The President has acted with his characteristic precipitateness in discharging offhand and without doubt on his behalf the officers and protection present of trial or conviction, an entire battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, a colored regiment with an admirable record. for discipline and which has done as much and as hard fighting, for forty years and in two hemispheres, as any regiment in the service. The men are not only dismissed in disgrace, but are disqualified for holding hereafter any military or civil position in the government service. This would be a severe penalty to be inflicted upon any prisoner, civil or military, after it to which it affords the offence; yet it has been visited upon a whole battalion of soldiers for the offense of a mere handful, and with no pretense of a trial for any. It is admitted that a handful of those soldiers, acting under no real provocation, started a deadly riot at Brownville, Tex., and that when the matter was investigated every man in the garrison refused to reveal the guilty ones or to throw any light on the subject. There was apparently a "conspiracy of silence" to protect the culprits. Doubtless the offense was grave and deserving of severe punishment; yet men, many of them in the service, are punished and diagnosed for a crime in which they admitted had no hand and to a creature who had been exceeded mere hearsay. Even if they did refuse to tell what they knew they were within their rights, since the inspector who made the investigation could have assumed no judicial function, and to be in contempt of him would have been impossible. The President's action was unprecedented and the penalty too severe, unless all the men had been actors in the riot or accomplices before the fact. Moreover, the penalty should have been imposed by "due process of law," and there was no trial and no legal investigation which would serve as a "basis of a civil indictment or, probably, of charges and would hold the defendant in martial force" with wide latitude allowed to the latter tribunal. Guilty knowledge on the part of all hands would have to be proved, while in the present case it has been merely assumed. In the momente no action has been or is likely to be taken against the officers, who have invariably been held responsible in the past for such exhibitions of lax discipline. When a mob of white soldiers from Fort Walla Walla stormed a jail in a superior charged with murdering a soldier, the entire garrison was not dishonorably discharged, but the War Department put the responsibility where it obviously belonged and has always been used, before and since, until this latest affair, upon the post commander and others charged with enforcing discipline, not once in a while, but for every minute the post commander was made to suffer, not for the crime of the soldiers, but for his own remissness in allowing them to get so hopelessly out of hand, At Fort Brown where was the officer of the guard or the officer of the day? Unless there is some pretence of calling to account the officers who disciplined in the army will become a shame and the "square deal" something like a hwrord. ROOSEVELT AND THE MOB. Lynchers Show as Much Discrimination as the President. In the battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry of which the President has ordered every man to be dishonorably discharged there are Negro soldiers who were serving with the colors when Theodore Roosevelt was barely out of college. There are others of shorter service and others raw recruits. President Roosevelt admits that many innocent men will suffer because the guilty ones have not been detected. But justice, it seems at the heart of the debate by both parties about injustice. Small wonder that the three companies of Negro troops who have been kept under restraint at Elrono, Okla., since August could not believe the news when it reached them. The outrages committed at Brownville, Tex., last summer by enlisted men of the Twenty-fifth Regiment call for the extreme penalty for the culpits. The President blames the non commissioned officers of the discipline, what of the white officer, especially those on duty when the trouble occurred? Are they blameless and beyond reproach? In any case, how justify the wholesale dismissal of nearly 200 men when it is certain that only an unknown part were involved? The Navy soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry make a gallant record before Santiago, no less good though less advertised than the Rough Rider. A private of Company D. one of three companies Instead he has indulged in Expository lychee law. It was difficult to my hands on the real offenders, so he ran amok and made prisons of all prisons, prisons of all prisons, and prisons of all prisons, average mob out for a lynching soldier shows no discrimination. ROOSEVELT AND "SQUARE DEAL." From the New York Evening Post. Our impulse President has decided upon a punishment of the colored soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry which is without precedent in the annals of the army. Because some of their number, under great provocation, "shot up" the town of Brownville, Texas, killing one man who had publicly wounded police three companies of this brave and historic regiment are to be dishonorably discharged by executive order, the innocent with the guilty. The special reason for this action is that, when threatened with this fate, the soldiers, still refused to tell who were the guilty ones among them. That many of the soldiers thus summarily treated are innocent of any wrongdoing, or even of knowledge of the wrongdoers, is admitted by the Southern-born officer who advocated this drastic punishment. Mr. Roosevelt is determined to make an example for the benefit of the wrongdoers, there to protect citizens, not to attack them; hence his desire to teach a lesson that can never be forgotten. The seriousness of the original offense we cannot and would not mitigate. It was a gross breach of discipline—not unheard of in army history, however—for the Ninth Cavalry had a similar fraternity in Texas in 1890 and fixed into a town by order of a white officer who had lost his head. Conflicts between civilians and white troops were never rare in frontier days. In none of these cases, how were the soldiers of the Fourth Cavalry, the service for such offences, the white soldiers of the Fourth Cavalry, for instance, when stationed at Fort Walla Walla, Washington, formed a mob, stormed the town jail, and lynched, on April 22, 1880, a civilian who had killed one of their comrades. Now, soldiers are enlisted to uphold the law, not to violate it. Yet no companion of the Fourth Cavalry were mustered out. Instead of placing the responsibility upon the soldiers, their colored, Charles E. Compton, was sentenced to death for guilty and sentenced to suspension from rank and command for three years, this sentence being subsequently mitigated to suspension on half pay for two years. This is the correct military procedure. In every foreign service the officers are held accountable for the conduct of their men. If Mr. Roosevelt had been correctly advised, he would first have court-martialled the white officers of the black troops. He would have asked them, How did your men get out of hand? How did that they obstruct their arms and ammunition? Where were the officer of the day and the officer of the guard? Knowing the provocation, where were your precautions? Why did you let the offenders return to quarters undetected? If these officers had failed to give satisfactory reasons, then they would have confessed their lack of fitness for command. So long as the officers go so free, Mr. Roosvelt cannot maintain that he has dispensed even-handed justice. To court-martial a third-rate colonel of another regiment for reflecting on the Twenty fifth in an indiscreet interview, impresses no one. The military hierarchy is so constituted that each officer is required to be court-martialed by him. Major Charles W. Penrose, the commanding officer of the battalion stationed at Brownville, should have been tried first of all. But even if it was necessary punish the troops for failing to "peach" on one another, why was not the regiment disciplined in some other way? The Sun advocates a probationary period, just as a rowdy battalion of the British Guards was for a time sent to Gibraltar. A dozen different ways suggest themselves which would not involve the gross breach of contract the President's action calls for. Many of the men, and particularly the non-commissioned officers, have served for upwards of twenty years. In the Spanish war, and the Philippine insurrection, with the promise that they would be retired on a pension after thirty years' service. Now they are turned out to shift for themselves. Manifestly, such a "square deal" will do no good and will arouse much bitter feeling. The country has not forgotten that the companies now marked out for punishment fought most valiantly at Santiago. A private of one of them, together with one of Company H, captured the Spanish flag upon the stone fort at Cancun, where the regiment was led by an admirable officer, Llewol. Col. (now General) A. S. Daggett. That his regiment was led in a matter of official record. The colored soldiers, as a whole, are far more loyal to the colors, far less given to desertion, and much more temperate than their white comrades. They will inquire whether something cannot be done to protect colored soldiers from the insults to which the Twenty-fifth was subjected at Brownville because of race prejudice. Anticipating The New York Times a. Sun in their criticism of the President, The Richmond Planet, one of the ablest of the colored men's newspapers, ask how the Twenty-fifth's soldiers could be punished without trial or legal insignation, a monarch whose titularion is an imprisoning in Fort Sam Hot 'on jail. If the President is certain that he has been unable to discover the wrong-doers, the men in confinement should be released at once. The Planet says: Let us reverse the picture and presume that the settlement was colored and the troops white, would this officer have made the decision to leave? No, he not have been derided from Maine to Texas, from Canada to the Gulf? Crimes have been committed recently, on citizens of color at Springfield, Mo.; Chattanooga, Ga.; Nashville, Tenn.; Indianapolis, Ga.; Argentine, Ark., and their neighborhoods, and in practically all of the cases the men concerned in the outrages have "gone scot free" because white men would have been observing these occurrences do. he came there following in the presence of money so well told by three white men, it is proposed to disarm not the guilty black, but all of them without honor. To our mind, Mr. Brownewok has established a most populous president, besides doing a grave wrong to many innocent servants of the country. In his desire to let the South see that he is in ready to punish the mischievous blocs as of white, he has, indeed, kept warwards. We already hope that he may yet revolve an order which not only will harms his unpopularity with the army but which reflects upon his good judgment. ROCKVELT AND FAIR PLAY. President New York Submit Thing to From The Chicago Public In degrading a whole Negro battalion in the army, because home of its members were criminal and disorderly and some others refused to volunteer testimony against them. President Roosevelt has done an unjust thing. We are not especially concerned about it, because the more the automatic character of army life over private soldiers is disclosed and the less army degradation some to be regarded as real degradation, the better. But here is an interesting case. Such members of the battalion as knew of the alleged crime could have been forced to leave the army, and President demanded was that they should go up to headquarters and volunteer roles which, if volunteered by one commissioned officer with reference to another not under his command, would have brought him into contempt. And because some members of the battalion who may have known did not tell, President Roosevelt dismisses the whole battalion in disgrace. These Negroes are to be disgraced upon being put out of the mankilling trade, but President Roosevelt is hardly to be congratulated upon his ideas of fair play as exemplified in this case. Roosevelt Demoralising All Afro-Ameri- teem Regiments At a time when a battalion of Negro troops may be sacrificed by a scratch of the pen, for the sain of not turning informers, for such is the indictment against the battalion as a whole, it is a duty to rescurce from forgotten records such a story as that of the heroic Twenty-fourth Infantry, in the hope that a precedent will not be set which, if followed, would demoralise the ranks of the Negro realties to the U.S. Navy Army. They have distinguished the mission field from Port Hudson to Santiago, justifying the invocation of George H. Boker: "Tall them as comrades tried; Fight with them side by side; Never, in field or rent, Scorn the black regiment." SOUTH PRAISES ROOSEVELT. Samples of Only Kind of People Who Are Supporting Him. From The Atlanta constitution. President Roosevelt seems determined that the United States army shall obey the spirit and letter of the law for which it stands, and that lawlessness and disorder on the part of those whose duty it is to defend and protect shall be punished to the limit of its deserts. The president has given evidence of this determination in his prompt action in discharging in dishonor from the army the battalion of Negro troops of the Twenty-fifth United States Infantry, some of whose members were responsible for the disorders at Brownsville, Tex. which occurred in the dwelling of others. He has adopted no half-way measures, but has ordered enforced to the full extent the recommendations of Inspector-General Gurlington, who, by the way, is a Georgian, having been appointed to the army from Augusta. Not only must these three companies of Negroes leave the army in disguise, for having shielded the actual criminals, but they are forever debarred from returning to it and from holding any civil position whatever under the government. They are also debarred from promulgating and decisive action in this matter will be generally commended. While the disgrace so called will have but little effect upon these Negro troops, the action of the President will, undoubtedly, have a wholesome effect. It will be a warning to that racial instinct which has done so much to stir up strife and retard the progress of the Negro - the instinct which prompts the average Negro to protect the criminal at the expense of law, order and security. It will be a warning to the general Garlington, not only in its application to these Negro troops, but to the race as a rule, when he says, in speaking of the action of the battalion: They appear to stand together in a determination to resist the detection of the guilty, therefore they should stand together. Such a thing would have been impossible in a regiment of white troops. Not perhaps, the disorder, but the clannal racial prejudice which prevented the detection and punishment of the guilty at Nero would raise himself in the estimation of the community, he must demonstrate by deeds his willingness, his readiness to assist in the suppression of lawlessness on the part of his own race. From The New Orleans Times Democrat. President Roosevelt has finally ordered the discharge without honor of the entire battalion of Negro troops, members of which participated in the midnight riot at Brownville, Tex., and murdered a citizen in his home. The action of the President is based on a report made by Gen. Garlington, inspector-general of the army, as a result of his investigation of the incident. The inspecting officer recited facts which are well known to every one who has paid any attention to the incident. He recited as one of murder, and brings a charge against the other Negroes of the command, which every one who has lived in communities where Negroes are numerous will at once recognise an true. He may that the guilty Negroes are being protected from punishment by the other Negroes of the command. He does not charge that all the Negroes in the command know who the guilty person actually are, but he does maintain that each of them would at least put the authorities on the trail of the criminals, and this information they are withholding. It is for these reasons that the President has ordered the discharge "wijhout honor" of the entire battalion, a decision which insures substantial justice so far as the Executive can go. It now remains for the civil authorities to search out the individuals counsel, police of the police, of which there are about a quarter, and put them on trial for their theft. There can be no doubt of evidence if the evidence is forthcoming. There is no question, of doubt, remnable or otherwise, that certain of these Negro soldiers, who were killed in the attack, did commit a murder. These facts are not to be disputed, and are simply used by the insurgent ideo- There remains the problem to be solved of preventing Nursez who are not guilty of cruelty from shielding those who are, and of then becoming accustomed after the fact. Perhaps this action of the President's may have some influence in that direction. In any case, he has done the right thing in this case, though some persons may assert that his action was belated a result of denunciation to give Nursez the Negroes in the North in the congressional fights cause for disatisfaction with the party of which he is the head. The Garlington report and recommendation left no doubt as to the probable action of the executive officer, but the report was made two weeks ago, and the investigation over a month previously. If the President decided to wait until the votes were in the boxes before announcing his decision, the complainants will be the Negroes of the North, who might have desired this information before casting their votes. The remainder of the country has no cause for punishment, and the Negroes credit for having done another worthy deed, and of having adhered in this case to his annotated policy of a "square deal." RACE PRESS SORE Republicans Warned of Reprisals in Future Elections The action of President Theodore Roosevelt in dismissing without honor every man Companies B., C. and of the Twenty-fifth Infantry because they did not disclose the names of the men who had to have been concerned in the rotund disturbance and tragedy at Brownville, Texas, on the night of August 15, 1906, is without a precedent in the history of the country. They we state that the precedent that no man had been concerned in the escapade and that more than one hundred of them are contestedly innocent, we have made out our case and President Roosevelt stands in a position which is too strong to be contested. We position and station in life to occupy it certainly is out of harmony with the principles of this republic and it is in violation of every guarantee of the Federal law that he is sworn to observe and exemplify. There are some colored people of this country who have been too blind to see and some others too prejudiced in this disinclined gentleman's favor to burrow out the color of their skin to bear and feel and measure Mr. Roosevelt by the same rule that he has manufactured for other people's benefit then we shall consider them beyond the pale of intelligent argument and dt candidates for the President. Roosevelt has made the most monumental blunder of his administration. The fact that he withheld his decision until after the election emphasizes the fact that he is about as much of a politician as he is a statesman. The announcement of his intentions would have changed the complexion of the vote in several northern states and if it does not figure in many elections to come we shall have been greatly mistaken in the attitude of the Republican colors of the North. The result of Mr. Roosevelt's Southern tour is now painfully apparent. We prophesied this at the time and we now venture the assertion that he would not have been sent to the law upon a battalion of white troops, who had been guilty of a similar action in a white neighborhood had he done so delegation after delegation would have voted his protest and he would have been sent to the law upon a petition that he would not have been able for a long time to rest easy in the White House. Every state in the Union that has any citizens of color should vole a protest and the president should know in no uncertain language the opinion of the Negroes as citizens of this Republic. Roosevelt, Brownville and Chattanooga Lycheers. Three Troops Risked Lives to Save Roosevelt's. From The Kentucky Standard The action of President Roosevelt in dismissing in disgrace from the army and entire battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry because they refused to becomecombatants of some one of their number who had been shooting up the town of Brownville, Tex. is unprecedented in the history of the army of the United States in a uniform history that some member of the army of the Twenty-fifth Infantry did kill a bartender and shoot up the town of Brownville, and it was the specific duty of the government to send detectives to Brownville and the barracks and have them ferried in that the matter parties or parties; falling in that the matter parties have been dismissed for lack of evidence. It is to be regretted that the President found it necessary to deal so summarily with men who have risked their lives for the present incumbent of the White House, simply because they would not stoop to PHILIP A.

Just why a different instance is held quite clear to us. President's Foxiness in Waiting Until After Election. From The Washington Bee. With the announcement of the election of Charles E. Hughes in New York, and the return to Congress of an unbroken New England Republican delegation, comes also the news of the shameful disbandment by the President of the United States, of every man and officer in companies B, C and D of the Twenty-fifth Colored Industry. In civil life, if a man be an eye-witness about it, that settles it; and by no means are his neighbors punished because they know of something of it and wipe it. I am a Republic, and believe in the principles professed by the Republican party, but it is becoming more and more difficult to maintain official utterance and then another, and from discriminations of omission and commission, that President Ronald Reagan and his administration have real love for him. They will go far out of their way to place aroused Japanese sentiment or to command them to stop the objection, but cannot afford the least protection to a portion of our own citizens. Colored men who will blindly vote the Republican ticket, from year to year, in the polls, will be more likely to pressions on the part of those who are supposed to be his friends, are nothing more or less than fools. Let an learn to vote the Republican ticket, and have an opportunity in life, whether they be Republicans, Democrats or what not. Roonevelt Turned Southerner. From The Baltimore Afro-American Lodge. There seems to be a general prevailing opinion among the white people that all colored people must take up the work of building their communities upon their neighbors and their doings, and whenever and wherever colored people are charged with committing a crime, they are to forest them out and inform on these. to forget them out and inform on them. President Roosevelt seems to have imbued the same general opinion, judging from the time he generalized the troops of the Twenty-fifth Industry. As will be seen by an article in another newspaper, they would not be discharged because they would not be traitors to their companies in arm. It is conceded that in these three companies there are a large number of people who had no confidence of what their comrades had done, but in this case, like in many others where the innocent had to suffer with the guilt. When President Roosevelt was inaugurated, his "all men up and not some men down and his "door of hope" speeches and his "opening" opening will be the Afro-American, at last had come to the chair of government one man to whom, at least, the Afro-American could look to for hope of the future. President Roosevelt's Southern trip seems to him and from that time the colored people have looked for very little from the strenuous President. And now, with one full swoop of his pen, he debars innocent and the government benefits under the government for which he is on more than one battlefield. Certainly the Afro-American cannot but feel that this idol has been thrown from its paddock. Possibly history does not record a single incident like it, certainly not in the history of the United States. Why were not the white commissioned officers also discharged? Were they not as responsible for the conduct of the troops under them that the colored non-commissioned officers? That President Roosevelt is also tinctured with colorphobia as is plain as anything can be. Hereafter we shall look at the colorful nothing from our young, vigorous strenuosa, "boody of hope," All men up! President. Wetmore Whacks Renewelt To the Editor of The Evening Post: Sir: Please accept my heartfelt thanks for your fair and able editorial in to-day's paper anent the dishonorable discharge of the infantry. There is one thing you and all the other editors seem to have overlooked, and that is the fact that the President did not let the public know of his action in the war. It was too late for the colored people to show their disapproval by voting against Republican candidates for Congress in the two small grains of satisfaction for colored men to out of this whole affair. One is that the President was afraid to let them know before election that he intended taking any such action; other is that colored people will stand together in the same as other men. Never again can the charge be truthfully made that all Negroes are disloyal to each other, for they are not people which reflects more credit on them than does the action of these colored soldiers in refusing to inform against their comrades in this case, when they knew it was wrong. They were tried by the civil authorities in Texas. I have read your paper for a number of years, and have always admitted the stand you have taken on race matters, and have never had but one objection to your views, and that I think it is a clam of Mr. Roosevelt. But I now apologize, as I realize that you knew him a great deal better than I did. Beyond the shadow of a doubt, he has deserted the colored man completely. The only possible difference is that he probably been badly advised by the colored men whom he has taken into his confidence, and from whom he seems to take advice on race matters. In closing, I want to assure you that you have always taken the unfortunate colored men in America for the position you always take on matters affecting their race. J. Douglas WETMORE. New York, November 8, 1906. Twas Different When Roscoe's Son Wouldn't Tattle. A few days or weeks ago President Roosevelt was son in a Boston court as a witness against one of his school chum. When put upon the stand he refused fairly to give any evidence that would infiltrate his schoolmate. But the humorous Teddy neither disowned him nor chummed him, and he turned up a comrade. But his son was not. Near Teddy can do some strange things to love Negroes as he professes to. Forkie: Wear Summer's Mantle. Ken 72: Opena (M) Patioverse. It looks like the prayers of the American Negroes for another Charles Sumner, a fearless champion for justices, are about to be answered. From the trend of events it would seem that Summer's mantle has fallen upon the shoulders of Senator Foraker, of Ohio. He alone has had the temerity to stand up in the Senate and champion the cause of the Negro. Today we really need a friend at court and we believe that he has been found in the person of Senator Soraker. May he be given strength to do the great work to which he has been divinely called.

As we went on the young man began pointing out objects that were familiar to him. His face lightened up with a great light as he told of the scenes of his childhood. All at once a deep gloom settled down upon him, and became silent. I am going to be disheveled and disbounded. I left home free and happy; I am returning a -pardoned convict. My father gave me a glad hand when I came away; he will spurn me now. My mother kissed me when I left her; she is no more now. O how can I ever face my father! "As the train entered New Orleans and pulled up under the shear, he heard a whirl which he had heard so often in his boyhood, and e started up with a new light in his face. The next moment his brother had led him out, and he "folded into his old father's arms." O Harry, Harry, my son Harry, you have come back to me at last. Thank God! Thank God!

Henry Perry Seabrooks In memory of Henry Perry Seenbrouck late of 292 E West 33d street, New York whose spirit rose September 29, 1908 from his home to a world unknown. He was a man of great bravery, braind, and during his illness he never forget to show his appreciation of those who called to see him by thanking them for so doing, and in prayer he never forget to remember those who hovered around him and to remember when the angels came to hear his spirit wry, like a gallant soldier, he gave up all his surroundings. "And simply to the cross he clung," Straight to his home above he traveled and said, "In life or in death," My Lord, thy will be done. And as his family and friends followed his body to its resting place, they could look upon his grave with bowed heads and justly say, "There lies the body of a man who tried to do his duty," "He did not trust the sweetest frame, But such a frame Jesus' name is: 'The hopes were built on me.' 'Thus Jesus' blood and righteousness." His friend, CHARLES S. LOMAX DIED. GAY, - Helen A. Gay, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. J.

The article, with most informing illustrations, presents national Baptist Publishing Board Nashville, a astonishing and gratifying. This publishing house has spent in its ten years of existence over half a million dollars. The board is at the head of the board, Dr. Winston D. Patterson, Girard College, writes powerfully on "Lynching." Mae Porter Lechia writes an automobile story. The best part of the magazine is several pages of Mr. Me- cirt, who is one of the surprisingly good. We introduce one, "A Mystery, in another column. McGirt's is making a special offer to agents to sell them this number in lots of 25 or 50 for 6 cents per copy. Trials of Afro-American Women. To the Editor of The New York Age. An article in your last issue header "Sinus of White Men," I am one of many of our Afro-American women to read. This article causes a first feeling of indignation and follows by gratitude, that there are some women who are able and have the courage to speak out what they be to the truth. I hope there will be more women like Constance Preston, the writer, who will be honored by her article and follow up the example she has given by bringing the virtue of their colored alchemists, by bringing to light the conduct of these creatures who boost of their Argo-Raxon blood. Having followed the profession of trained which I can well sympathize this article, which I have noticed the notice of many of your women readers. MEN J. H. LINDAH. New York city, November 12, 1900. Boycott to Punish Lynchers. From The Independent. The South Carolina Negroes have devised a new way of rendering lynching unpracticed, ample, blacklisted men whom they regard as a response to a lynching. There is one case in Saint George where a planter who has hundreds of negroes and whose hold cannot get hands to gather it, and has no thousand dollars. But he may get the better of them, for he has had a dower of the negroes, and he thinks he can comprize against him, and he thinks he can magistrate on his side. The good people of Abiyanism Baptist church, treated their pastor, Dr. Morris, to a delightful old time surprise party last Monday night, or over a week it was noticed that there were murderous whisperings and ally laughs and chuckles at the expense of the pastor. They culminated in a surprise, during which the members, under the aplendid leadership of Dr. Nannie Jerrot, came laden with coffee and beer and all sorts of grecieties and canned liquids literally piled a great table high with good things for the pastor's larder. No one else touched the armies and smiling faces and heard the laughter. Appreciation could doubt the place Dr. Morris holds in the affections of his member. Dr. Morris has been with this church a little over four years. During that time the church held its own congregations, its collections and its Sunday school, purchased over a hundred thousand dollars' worth of property and leaped forward to take its own church, the greatest churches among the Afro-American people in the United States. Outside of the church the pastor is as highly esteemed as inside. The race all over country is coming to notice that in this preacher it is one of the greatest preachers it has one of the greatest in the Afro-American pupil. Fifteen years ago Frederick Douglas wrote to Dr. James Prince, Hayt, when he was then United States Minister. PORT AU PRINCE, Jan. 30, 1891. MY DRAK MORRIN: I could tell you how happy I was made by your selfless service. I belonged in The Plainlander of the 10th inst. No man amongst us, young or old, has said a word for honest elections more eloquent than yourself, and I bless the good Lord. I have promised the promise has risen to plead the cause of Justice to our people at the bar of public opinion. Though I am away down here our watch which is on, I watch from this distance with the deepest interest, every turn in affairs at home for and against our common cause. I am not that you were able to write this appeal for me to cause, but I am glad for your own sake. You must not be surprised if some of our people fail to appreciate your work. You will find in which all experience teaches you to look for them, even tenor of your way, turning neither to the right nor the left, looking for the hard and only duty done and a good conscience, to the right and only ambitions, a searcher after fame, that are putting on airs, and that you deal only in howey speech, etc.; but care for none of those approaches, know your ability and experience, and know you strike at wrong. Envy and malice will pursue you. Remember "that stander with a shining mark," and that the best fraternity you have, the one most pelted with sticks and with a stinger. I send you this in no patronizing spirit. You know that I know, and you know that I can do with pen and touch, what you can do with pen and touch, and what you fought side by side in the same campaign. I discovered your talents when others did, but you have done nothing of late which has strengthened my admiration, than the article now before me. One of the things of which you be proud was that it was my good fortune to be a Langton when he was very young and aspiring to public life. More proud am I that it was my privilege to introduce you to the great public in the campaign of 1888. You will be glad to know that in this life I serve anderce: tropical heat. I am yet, despite my efforts, as they say down South: "right part." Should you have a spare hour from your studies to write me a few lines while I am away, I will be able to tell you I know if you do write it will give me a true picture of what is going on in Wash-ington. While you are now hovering around the fire by day, and buried in blankets by night to keep from fregging I am burying with a blanket above ninety in the shade Sincerely yours.

When the Craft Failed To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: With the passing of The Home News of Alaska, the newspaper, editor, two of the "Ningunia Movement," we have ceased to "disturb our judgment." The Guardian (not even the ghost of its former self when the brilliant founder, Forbes, was at the helm) in a desperate effort to escape bankruptcy went over bag and ended by holding what the public party formed would be a "Race Rights, Rails." This rally proved to be a Democratic mass meeting addressed by the Democratic candidate for governor, the Democratic mayor, and the men who are known to be identified with the group. It would also could any one but a parvenu editor and a few satellites even hope for race rights from the Democratic party, as now constituted. In closing let me relate one incident about this legislative editor to show you just how much he has the rights of the race at heart. A candidate for the common council in the city called on him and asked him to publish a column of matter concerning his candidate, having some trouble with the white machine and desired to reach the colored citizens of the ward through the paper. The candidate had to pay reasonable sum, but this leader had to pay $25 for one insertion or nothing—and thus so soon after, the Democratic party had ceased buying, publishing and delivering *Gloriousness* of charge through the city. The president declined to pay and Brother Trooper's reasoned theory led him to consign the article to wanna basket. REPUBLICAM. MISCELLANEOUS MF Madeline Courtney should see this ad- dition.
