New York Age

Coloridge-Taylor's Concert Charmed Large Mixed Audience The Afro-American people are given credit, in the form of a taunt, of being "goodimitators." While this trait is one rattle to be proud of, Mr. Coleridge-Taylor's concert last Friday night at Mendelssohn Hall proved it to be true only in part. It has been called "the unique event of New York's musical season." The selected editions of original compositions by an English Negro—compositions which would do credit to any race. The Afro-English composer was greeted by a good-sized audience with a larger proportion of white people present than one would have expected. On such an occasion Mendelssohn Hall should have been crowded to the doors with Afro-Americans. His stagnant impression afforded by Mr. Coleridge Taylor was his extreme modesty, amounting almost to slyness. It was not "a studied effort to avoid show," but part of the man's personality. This characteristic of modesty was emphasized by his hesitancy in responding to encores. No amount of enthusiastic clapling could draw him more than a couple of feet beyond the threshold. While too small of build to be imposing, Mr. Coleridge Taylor would make him unique. His music seems to reflect what appearances say are the man's personal traits—dignity, weirdness and sadness. There were enthusiasm and appreciation shown for all the best numbers on the program, the arrangement of which was very notable for its artistic contrast. The "Romance in E Flat" was pathetically sweet with a beautiful original W. H. Ward by Mr. Felix Fowler Ward, well skilled in phrasing and marked ability. One would prophecy for this musician a brilliant future. He produced tones of thrilling sweetness from a fine instrument. He was seriously, with ease and feeling. His Lola "Johnson of Washington interested this," audience with her spirited singing. One always feels grateful for clear enunciation, and Miss Johnson gave her audience this treat. She sang all her songs creditably and brought out Mr. Johnson's quaint music for fine poems, "Dawn" was serene and flowing; "Minguillo," in contrast, coquettish and gay. These two were especially well sung. Later in the program Miss Johnson showed a little fatigue, making head tones of a nasal quality but otherwise effective. The beautiful "Spring Song" from "Hiawatha" was a little too much for her. Still, in spite of its difficulty, Miss Johnson captured the capture of returning spring. This song was free from any strain of sadness. All of us know Mr. Henry T. Burleigh and what to expect when his name occurs on a program; so there was a burst of applause when he appeared. He was in excellent form, and his voice was full, rich and ringing. His first number, "Substitution" from "In Memoriam," a composition of dignity, was rendered as Mr. Burleigh always sang of charm and grace. Please which thoroughly understood and sympathetically rendered, showed Mr. Taylor in an entirely new mood. Then "The Corn Song!" Paul Laurence Dunbar has passed away, but he has been immortalized in the music world by Coleridge-Taylor. This song is of special interest—a classic created by a Negro composer and a Negro poet. Mr. Burleigh's joy in interpreting it was manifest. Those near enough new his music have been able to hear with enthusiasm as he sang the droning slave chorus, "On' we hoe de co'n." This song has the marks of genius and went straight to the heart of the audience. Then Mr. Coleridge-Taylor took the center for a series of "Negro Melodies Symphonically Arranged for Piano." For the first time the audience could give undivided attention to the distinguished composer. Up to this point, the thought of best producing his works had made him Mr. Coleridge-Taylor's command of the piano was delightful. While he does not play, perhaps, as brilliantly as one would who gives all his time to interpreting, the composer displayed his works to the best advantage. "I'm Troubled in Mind" is a sad melody with lovely variations. True Negro music is beautiful, the expression of unconscionably full hearts. It is to be hoped that the last of these melodies has not been produced—smuffed before kindly by the cheaper "Gypsy" and "Zukulka" are Oriental and weird. Mr. Coleridge-Taylor delights in uncommon intervals and endings almost like wails. Mr. Burleigh's voice improved as he proceeded. "Once Only" rang with virility. The lines "My Odyssey of Battle" and "For God to Plough The Under" were especially striking and forceful. It was at this point that the arrangement of the program became most noticeable. From a spirit of many unrest, it changed artistically. "She Rested by the Broken Brook." In one we have Coleridge-Taylor painting with bold strokes and colors; in the other taking up more delicate material for a pastel drawing of pale tones. The climax of an evening of his fine songs came in "Beat, Beat, Drama." The science evidently knew the composition, The New York Age. thrilling, martial, releitious spirit of the master song. No wonder there were storms of applause. For an encore Mr. Burleigh had the exquisite "Unmindful of the Roses." The last number consisted of "African Dance, Tolkin and Piano." There were two movements, both of which were full of life and color. A number of the audience were afforded the honor of meeting Mr. Coleridge-Taylor after the recital. Mr. Burleigh and Mr. Melville Charlton, the talented young organist, received and introduced them to the audience. To be hoped that New York will in the future encourage and support similar concerts. Such are among the most powerful ways of gaining culture and refinement. ELISIE JOHNSON. WASHINGTON HAILED AS MOSSES AT ORGONIA STATE FAIR The Expansion Successful—Swarms of People Attended. Macon, Ga, November 18.—The Georgia State Colored Fair, engineered by representative colored men of Georgia, including such personages as officers and directors as President R. R. Wright of the Georgia State College, Dr. C. T. Walker of Augusta, Bishop H. M. Turner, Hon. J. H. Devaun and others of that rank, was held here beginning Monday of this week. The initial day was inaugurated by exercises of a particularly satisfactory kind. All trains brought hundreds of Afro-American visitors from different parts of the State. In the afternoon the parade was held, and not less than 30,000 Afro-Americans swarmed the streets. The parade was about 10 minutes long, the agricultural, industrial and educational development of the race, and was headed by two uniformed organizations. Dr. Booker T. Washington of the Tuskegee Institute had been invited to make the principal address on the opening day, and many were the acclaims that greeted him as his carriage, followed by many others, passed through the streets of the city; he was repeatedly cheered, and during more than a mile of the parade was called to dot his hat in appreciation of the work he very interesting to notice how the Afro-Americans jostled each other in their eagerness to see the man who is recognized by them as their leader and most representative man. Dr. Walker, in introducing Dr. Washington, made the statement that "He is as divinely appointed for his mission as Moses for his, and is our Moses as surely as Moses was the leader of the Jewish people." This sentiment was enunciated during the whole day in evidence as the controlling sentiment among the hundreds of Afro-Americans who lined the streets and visited the exposition grounds, which were, by the way, the same grounds used by the white State Fair Association and placed at the disposal of the Afro-American people by the Mayor and Councilmen of the city of Macon. Dr. Washington's address is the part in the afternoon when he hunts closely upon every word uttered by him. The promoters of the fair feel that the project was successfully and enthusiastically launched. The rest of the week promises to be nearly as successful as the opening day.

HOTTENTOTS SURPRISE GERMAN GARRISON AND KILL FIVE Then Make Escape from Pursuing Re-enforcements. BERLIN, November 17.—Col. Doymling reports from Ketmanshoep, German Southwest Africa, that the Hottentots on November 11 surprised the German garrison at Unchannaris, killing five and wounding three men. Re-enforcements which arrived later pursued and dispersed the enemy. NEW YORK, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1906. INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION Albert Mosley, Jane Addams and Messrs. Vanderlip and Fish the Speakers Many people think of industrial education only in connection with Afro-Americans. Yet last Friday night an overflow audience of white men and women listened for two hours at Cooper-Union to white speakers ardently urging industrial training, without once mentioning the word "Afro-American." These white people were thinking only of themselves. They were enthusiastically determined to procure for themselves and their children, here in the metropolis of the world, the advantages and opportunities which Hamilton and Tuskegee have offered Afro-Americans for decades. No less a man presided than Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia College. He said in opening the meeting that much had been done for the upper classes in the way of industrial training through our great institutes of Technology, etc., that as yet little had been done for the masses, who were unable to get such higher training, but who were predestined, in the nature of things, to learn their bread and with their hands. Because of this, they can get more when its products are increased and improved by intelligent training. The first speaker was Mr. Frank A. Vanderlake, president of the New York City Bank. He spoke like a statesman, concerned with the large affairs of the future. Germany, he said, is the most dangerous competitor of the United States in the markets of the world and the WB. Recently, he and his system of industrial training, ranging in an interrupted ascent from the grade schools to the great technical universities, Germany, maid he, is otherwise greatly handicapped. Its workers have not the Yankee's natural ingenuity and defenses; their country is barren; most of them have to waste precious years in the army. Yet Germany, he warned, unless we or other statesmen of industrial education, will surely win us in the commerce of the world. Mr. Fish, president of the American Telegraph & Telephone Co. of Boston, said that the industries of a country are its foundation and basis; but that this does not mean that the material side shall be controlling. We must look the fact in the face, he said, that the ordinary run of men make up humanity as a whole; that humanity as a whole works with its hands; and that industrial education is a direct and effective means of increasing the earning power and intelligence and therefore the happiness and welfare of the people. He emphasized the direct effect on honest and industrious hand-training on public morals and integrity. Perhaps the most impressive speaker was Mr. Albert Mosely, of London, who is conducting a party of 500 English teachers on a tour to investigate educational conditions in the United States. He said that England has fallen behind Germany in the world's markets, and that millions of English laborers are now on the verge of starvation, solely because the conservation of that country has held on to the ancient classical conventions in education, and has neglected to look after the welfare of its masses by affording them opportunity to secure still enough to meet the needs of the American. He congratulated the United States on the deep interest its foremost educators are able to take in industrial education. A most winning and gracious advocate was Miss Jane Addams, head of the famous Hull House of Chicago. Her woman's sympathy and tenderness made her feel and able to make the audience feel, more than any of the other speakers, the humanitarian and idealistic side of industrial education. The men who attended the first class like speculators engaged in the solution of a problem; she identified herself with the working man, his wife and his children, and welcomed for them the boon of increased prosperity and happiness which industrial training holds out to them. The meeting was the initial one of the Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education, and after the speaking hundreds of people enrolled as members. There were a few Afro-American present. There were a thousand throng of whites whose interest in industrial education for themselves had drawn them thither. CHARLESTON RECEIVES 420 IMMIGRANTS, HALP BELGIANS First Shipload of Foreign Laborer Lands at Southern Port. CHARLESTON, S. C., November 17. The North German Lloyd stenship Witkiel had arrived here from Bremen with 420 immigrants and a large cargo of fertilizer materials. The immigrants were about half Belgians. This is the first European immigration movement through a port of the South Atlantic seaboard. Preached Against Mrs. Paronsa's book. Rev. Dr. E. G. Cliffon,ctor of St. David's P. E. church in EAST 100th street, took a fall out of Mrs. Herbert Paronsa's new book, "The Family," in his sermon Sunday morning. His text was: "Whom God hath joined together let no man put a sunder, and said many uncompetitive things about Mrs. Paronsa' recommendations. "THE CLANSMAN" BARREED FROM HOME OF TEABEARS STEVENS LANCASTER, Pa., November 15.—The management of "The Clansman," which was advertised for presentation Wednesday night, has canceled the engagement in response to the action of Mayor McCaskey, to whom a committee of Afro-American citizens had protested. The Mayor urged that the play should not be produced, largely upon the ground that Thaddeus Stevens, who is characterised in the piece, resided in Lancaster and is buried here and that the play is an insult to his memory. POSSE MURDERED OUTLAW AFTER HE SURRENDERED Held Up White Pig, But It Didn't Proceed Him. CHARLOTTE, November 15.—A message just received from Fletcher, located between Asheville and Spartanburg on the Southern railway, told Mr. Harris the Afro-American master of five men last Tuesday night, was surrounded and literally riddled with bullets by a pose of men from Asheville, this morning. Harris put up a terrible fight and shot two of the pose before he fell. There is little doubt but that the right man has been taken. There is general rejoicing among the people of Asheville at the news, who feel that the death of the two policemen Tuesdays night brought great grief. The skimish between Harris and the pose was a hot one and bullets drew like hail through the air, many of them taking effect in the Afro-American's body. The advancing men were hurled from a clump of bushes. "Get back or I'll shoot you" came the voice. It was Harris. The armed men fell back and detorting the woods quickly surrounded the murderer. Surrounded on all sides, Harris opened fire. His aim was deadly and two men fell. His pursuit ended with the bushes and Harris kept up his fire. His ammunition ran low, and at last a hand raised above the brush holding a handkerchief. John A. Roebling, Jr., of New York, leader of the pose ordered his men to cease firing. Harris arose from his hiding place, his face covered with blood and his clothes torn from the chase. Roobling moved forward to place the prisoner under arrest. He wanted to save him from being lynched. There was a shot from the rear and Harris fell to the ground. Roobling turned away, and Harris' body was filled with bullets. BLACK CUBANS READY TO FRONT FOR RECONFIGURATION Want Political Offices of Importance for Their Leaders. WASHINGTON, November 15.—The Afro-Cubans have poured upon Gov. Mageon a flood of petitions for office, in which they do not hesitate to threaten that unless they are recognized by giving several of their leaders important positions they will take the field and "defend their honor." Officers realize that unless the Taft peace is patched up immediately it will be necessary to maintain in Cuba a military government in fact as well as in name. President Roosevelt will take up this question as soon as he returns from Panama. There is a feeling that, early elections are absolutely necessary to peace in the islands. If the elections are held next month the President must so announce immediately after he reaches here from Panama. The Liberal party, representing the outs, is practically the only organized party in Cuba to day. GIBBONEY AND BERRY GUESTS OF PHILADELPHIA POLITICIANS Minton, Swan, Anbury and Others at City Party Banquet. PHILADELPHIA, November 19.—D. Clarence Gibboney and State Treasurer William H. Berry were guests of the Afro-American auxiliary of the City Party at a testimonial dinner at its headquarters, 222 Chestnut street. Both were described by many of the speakers as ideal leaders in reform movements. Included among the dinners were prominent Afro-Americans of this city who were identified with the City Party more than once, and were acquainted with speakers were made by Thomas W. Sean, C. W. Edwards, Mrs. S. A. Kean, John C. Sheehan, and J. C. Ashbury of the Odd Fellora* Journalal Speaking upon "The Duty of the White Man to the Afro-American," Mr. Berry said he believed thoroughly in the brotherhood of man, and that the apparent inequality of the races in the North was an industrial rather than a racial one, caused by the increase of supply over the demand for labor. "You are in competition with whitenen," he said, "for opportunities to make a living, and the white men are in competition with themselves for the same end, It is an economic condition and not one of prejudice or racism. There is not a country for every man in this country is because of the folly of the American people in limiting labor to the production of money." Mr. Gibboney thanked those present for their work in the campaign, and spoke hopefully for the time when the city would be redeemed from machine rule. Philadelphia and Reading Has a Black Engineer. PHILADELPHIA, November 19. The appointment of James H. Taylor, an Afro-American, of 2320 North Fawn street, as an engineer on the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad is the first occurrence of this kind in the East. STEWART'S BIG TRIUMPH Roosevelt's Own Personal Machine Against Him—Parsons Did Not Oppose The most impressive and disconcerting rebuke which President Roosevelt has received for his fragrant outrage against the soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry was administered to him last Thursday night by the Republican County Committee of New York County, which unanimously passed resolutions introduced by Mr. Gilchrist Stewart requesting the President to recidimmediately his order dismissing the black soldiers with dishonor. To measure the full significance of the Council Committee action one must remember that this blunder occurred in a peculiar, sense the President's own personal machine, and that its chairman, Congressman Herbert Parsons, is the man in New York State politics who stands closest to him. One can estimate how deeply the country at large must resent and deplore what it considers the President's most unfortunate blunder, when a body of men who owe their political existence to his interference in the last primaries unanimously ask him to recidim his order. As the New York State senate after his action of the County Committee was the most important and significant event in the United States on Thursday. The Democratic papers of the city, in their malicious willingness to cast a stone at Mr. Parsons, did him the injustice of representing him as actively opposing the resolutions and being swept aside by the Committee. It is only fair to say that Mr. Parsons made no opposition whatever to the resolutions; that he suggested amendments which strengthened them, which were adopted by Mr. Stewart; and that Mr. Parsons stated after the meeting that he was mighty glad the matter was brought up in the Committee. There was a large attendance of County Committeemen at Murray Hill Lyceum Thursday night, though no particular business was on the side. No sooner did Mr. Parsons ask than Mr. Stewart was on the door to introduce his resolutions, which were heard by the house was cold until he made his speech. The resolutions were seconded by Major Poole, R. L. Stokes and several white men. By some unexplained error the resolutions were severely cut in the morning papers, but were in fact passed as follows: Whereas, There has been issued by the War Department of the United States, acting upon the instructions of the President as commander-in-chief of the army and navy, an order discharging dishonorably without pretence of trivial or conviction, but on the recommendation of one individual, who is the president of the army, an order discharging race prejudice, three companies of the Twenty-sixth Regiment United States Infantry, and Whereas, Said order, without precedent in army annals, not only indiscriminately discharges these gallant soldiers in disgrace, but prohibits them from holding hereafter any military or civil position in the Government, based on the fact that the entire battalion must be made up of unwritten code of honor which represents the bulk whether in or out of uniform, and keep a portion of said battalion from divulging information relative to their comrades, and which divulging would have resulted in this case in the turning over of Old Glory's defenders to make a holiday for a Texas lynching mob be! Resolved, by the Republican County Committee of New York County, That we unreservedly deplore the indiscriminacy of this battalion of a gallant and stoutless record of forty years' service of note, bravery, and devotion to the country's welfare, extended from chasing Geronimo from the deserts of Aransas to, according to Lent.-Col. A. R. Daggett, causing the surrender of the stone fort, El Cauye in Cuba. Be it further Resolved, That we respectfully ask the President to recalced said order immediately, and that a copy of these revolutions be sent to the War Department, and that a representation of this action to be made by the Republican Congressmen of this county to the War Department immediately. Mr. Stewart's speech on his resolutions was effective, tactful and eloquent. Their success was in truth his own personal triumph. His real eloquence quickly aroused the Committee from indifference to interest; from interest to enthusiastic sympathy; and the Northern white man's latent sense of fair play was excited and became irresistible. When he had finished and the volley of applause died away, an attempt was made by Mr. Yearance, of the 27th Assembly district, to have the resolutions sent to the executive committee for—ir was meant—suppression. But Mr. Woodward, leader of the 23d, objected that any action to be effective should be immediate. His stand was approved by almost universal cities of 'We's right!' The motion to shelter the prisoners, a dozen votes, and then the resolutions themselves went through with a mighty roar. It was the action of the County Committee, more than anything else, which influenced the War Department to hold up the President's order until his return from Panama. VARDAMAN'S COUSIN ARRESTED; DRUNK AND INSULTED WOMEN And the Southern Gentleman, Sah, Wanted to Fight the War a Deal. WASHINGTON, November 15—William A. Ragadale, a cousin of Governor Vardaman A. Ragadale, has been warranted here charged with being drunk and disorderly. He was asked to deposit $10 collateral for his appearance in the police court, but did not have that much money. He then sent this message to Gov. Vardaman at Jackson: "Under arrest here by mistake. Please take steps immediately to effect my release." No reply has yet been received from the Governor, but Ragadale's bond was reduced to $5, and he produced the necessary sum. He is accused of having accosted a policeman when intoxicated. After being he challenged the policemen to a duel with 41-callibre revolvers at ten paces. "And I mean it, too," he said. "I come from a family which stands no insult, a family the male members of which have defended their honor on the field with pistol and sword for a hundred years. A thing like this would never have happened in the South, sir. I would have called the policemen out, as he would have given me satisfaction. As he only fight I can do, inasmuch as the only thing I have to have him removed from the force." Ragadale, his black eyes snapping with anger, his hair fairly bristling, paced his cell like a caged animal. "I admit that I was drinking," he said. "but I was not disorderly. Good Lord, man, can't a Southern gentleman indulge in a toddler without being subjected to such an indignity? I drank to sooth my nerves, as I was greatly excited over a duel which occurred Thursday in Mississippi, and in which J. M. D. Money, a nephew of my cousin, United States, of my $10,000, and also a cousin of Gov. Vardon and myself, and killed a planner named I. J. Henderson. Not having received any word personally regarding the conflict, I was naturally perturbed when I read the account of the duel. That got me startled, but I was not abusive." PAGE'S PREPOSTEROUS IDEAS ON THE QUESTION Says We All Want It White and Should Punish Alaska. Before the audience which completely filled the Hudson Theater and was composed almost entirely of women, Thomas Nelson Page, the Southern author, spoke Sunday morning under the auspices of the League for Political Education on "The Present Aspect of the Negro Question." Mr. Page prefaced his remarks by saying that while the opinions of Southerners on the race questions were deemed to be instructed by South presidents, Northerners who went South investigate for himself inevitably came back with the same opinions. The incapacity of the Afro-American for self-government was sufficiently demonstrated in the period of his domination in the South following the close of the civil war, Mr. Page said: "The Negro is not capable of governing the white man even with white leaders, he continued, "and it will never happen. The people of the South. There were Negroes who already boasted that they would love to wade in the blood of the white man up to their knees. The leopard may change his spot, the Ethiopian may change his skin, but he cannot change his nature. "Are we ready to make the American people a Negro race? That is the aspiration of the young Negro of the day. It is not the aspiration of the old time Negroes, for they were brought up differently, but I will be the desire of the young Negro to mean to you, to the Negro it signifies the right to stand on the same footing with a white woman that a white man does. "The attacks and the lynchings in the South are but a manifestation of this race feeling. If the South doesn't deal with the question the North will have to. "I hold the belief, and it is generally held in the South, that the Negroes themselves do not use the stern repressive tactics of the South in causing of crimes and exposing the criminals. The slots in Atlanta were largely due to the belief that the Negroes were harboring the criminals, who had assaulted white women instead of punishing them themselves. To stop the rioting we must remove the reasons for this belief." CALL, "BRAVE AFRO-AMERICANS" TO KEEP TILLMAN FROM SPEAKING Trouble Likely When Senator Gets to Chicago. CHICAGO, November 10. Afro-American leaders are planning to prevent the appearance of United States Senator Benjamin R. Tillman at Orchestra Hall, November 27. An appeal was made to day to "all brave and liberty-loving Afro-Americans in this city to assemble at Orchestra Hall and present Ben. Tillman from speaking there." Steps have been taken by the police to prevent trouble. Senator Tillman is to lecture for the benefit of the Chicago Union. Will Give Tillman Hot Reception. CLEVELAND, O., November 19. Senator Ben. Tillman is slated to speak here in the teachers' lecture course on December 19. "The Afro-Americans of the city are using every means to have the engagement cancelled, but in case they don't succeed will be ready to give Tillman a hot reception. The Remonies, Burned Out. KOWALIAO, Ala., November 15.—Recently the 12-room home store, memorial and other buildings belonging to John E. Benson were destroyed by fire. The sympathy of the whites in the neighborhood was most marked and touching. PRICE, 5 CEN Roosevelt Persists in His Outrage on Black U. S. Infantry Investigation in House and Senate Certain—The Whole Country Aroused William Howard Taft, on his own authority as Secretary of War, on Tuesday held up, until President Roosevelt's return from Panama, his order dismissing without trial and with dishonor three companies of the Twenty-fifth U. S. Infantry. ON WEDNESDAY SECRETARY TAFT PERFORMED A RIGHT-ABOUT-FACE AND REVOKED HIS ORDER SUSPENDING THE ORDER OF THE PRESIDENT. Events in connection with this affair have rushed with lightning rapidity during the past week. A bomb was thrown into the President's camp last Thursday, when his own personal machine, the New York County Committee, unanimously requested the immediate restraint of his order discharging the soldiers. Congressmen Parsons, Olcott and Bennet, by direction of the County Committee, have also petitioned the War Department to the same effect. A flood of petitions has poured into the War Department from all sections of the country, even from white men in Texas, in behalf of the black soldiers. The Afro-American people present an unprecedented phenomenon of unity and resolution—their alienation from the President, once their idol, has been spontaneous, bitter and universal. The race papers have been unsparing and harsh in their denunciation. White opinion has with few exceptions been divided by the old Mason and Dixon link. Most of the Northern papers, Republican, Democratic and Independent, have been revolted by the President's outrage on fair play and testify their disapproval in the most emphatic language. The Southern papers, on the other hand, are jubilant over the sacrifice the President has laid upon the altar of their race prejudice. It was said that Secretary Taft's section in behalf of the troops meant a severe strain between him and the President and might mean a Cabinet-vacancy. Others said that Mr. Taft had been in unceasing touch with the President and was acting by his orders. The President will arrive in Washington on Sunday, and the matter will then come quickly to a head. Mr. Gilchrist Stewart, who introduced the County Committee resolution, has gone to El Reno, Oklahoma, where the black troops are stationed, to secure the facts of the case to lay before the President. Mr. Roosvelt has sent Mr. Stewart a defiant cablegram anent the action of the County Committee, asserting that the order will not be rescinded unless new and exculatory facts are placed before him. The President's proviso seems to imply a suspension of his order until the new facts could be laid before him, but there is no doubt that Taft backed down under Presidential pressure. On Monday night the Republican Club of the City of New York, which is composed of the city's most representative white men and of which President Roosvelt is a member, passed by a vote of 300 to 7 a resolution censuring him for his treatment of the Afro-American soldiers. A Congressional investigation of the whole affair is certain. The entire country is stirred up, and the Brownsville riot is likely to result in a national ventilation of the whole race problem. TAFT BACKS; DOWN AND " SOLDIERS MUST BE DISMISSED President's Brutal Order to Be Carried Out. WASHINGTON, November 21.—Secretary Taft has ordered that the discharge proceedings of three companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry' go ahead without delay. The President's original order will stand, and danger of grave friction between the President and Secretary Taft has been removed. Early to day Mr. Taft gave out this explanation: "In the matter of the order discharging the enlisted men of three companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry issued by the President, application was presented to the Secretary of War by a number persons of standing asking for a "wing" by the President of the gr which the action was taken. "The secretary telegrapher dent of the application and proceedings of the d President." LOOTING THE PHILIPPINES SOME FLAGRANT CASES Direct Result of American Contempt for Natives and for What Belongs to Them Special Correspondence of THE ACM MANILA, P. I., October 14.—In a previous letter I had occasion to make reference to the frequent thieving of white men in responsible positions in the Philippines, and, in a short way, ascribed the cause of it to the low standard of public opinion among the Americans in the islands as regards the criminal of their own race when their acts are against, directly, or indirectly, Filipinos or other native races of the Orient. Since the publishing of that letter, the raid of the thief has again been abused in the land to such an extent that he feels almost to the extent that it will attract the hope that, by helping to throw the light of publicity upon it, I may contribute something toward checking the evil that has done more to harm the purpose of America in the islands than any other since American occupation; this, if not by a healthier growth of public sentiment itself on this side of the seas, then by awakening the parent country to the duty it owes to its wards, the natives, by giving them men of upright character to lead them "into the light." No one in America who has not long resided in the Philippines can have any idea of the extent to which these moral leeches in office pull down the good name of the United States, the Philippine. In fact it is almost of polite in asking that the finger of socrin is poked at the "Norte Americanos" by the native press because of their moral remembrance. And the regretful thing about it, is they have good cause for doing so. To give an idea of the extent to which the country is afflicted with the thieving-post, and of the range of the community (American) opinion of the thief (I mean the American thief), I will append the following figures, culled harlem-scarem from press notice, since June last: at st. cat. Church, Postmaster. Master, Chased with robbing the mails. Loss to government, 1,800 persons. Acquired on a technicality. Money traced to his office and lost. Money not recovered. Community did not believe him guilty. Still in service of government, so far as I could learn. 2d case.—Postmaster. Batangas. Charged with robbing his own office. Amount not stated. Not yet tried. Friends believe him innocent, but funds gone. case.—Postmaster, Cagayan, Mimamis. Short in accounts 5,000 persons. Convicted.

Friends made shortage, to be recovered from commutation money due him by government at expiration of service. He re-merged. This is only a faint part of the record for four months. It only embraces so much of it as has come within my observation without hunting for it, and does not include the big army scout camp which promises to involve so many high personages both in and out of the army. It will be noticed that one case only is against a private concern. To proy upon the funds of the government is usually the rule, but this is made to the taxy-ers (and the Filipino is the taxy-ayer of the under any system of economy you fish in) may be readily understood. No wonder of the frequent cries that go up from them for men of their own race in places where moneya are entrusted. Of the cases cited, probably the most notable is that of the city electrician, Frank Moffett, who burglarized his own safe and looted the fireman's relief fund of the contributions that had been made to it through a public entertainment only a few days before. His crime being directly against white men, there is naturally more indignation against him than is usual in such cases. Some whisper that he is a friend, while the majority say he was crazy at the time and extend their pity to him. The case of the shipping manager, Otis G. Fremont of Castle Brothers and Woolfels was made notable because of the high social rank of the man. He had been married only a short while, and received a salary of $250 gold a month. Moffett got a salary of 5,000 penns a year, but was hopelessly in debt. Now, on the surface there is nothing different between this record of crime and a similar record of crime in the United States; certainly nothing to indicate that its frequency is due to the temperament of the controlling public opinion. That is, nothing unleash you know. How would you like to learn from the advice of a lover and learn? She has learned of some of the things that I have learned from looking on? Well, the high professions of you, America, for being in these islands are, that you are in them for the betterment of the natives. Very good. You have to fit to send to them an army of your people, at two or three times the most of them ever dreamed of at home, for the practical execu- tion of your productions. This entitlement may be countless over what your colleagues have been used to use of it self-understand, in a huge degree, their unfortunate in the high purpose you sent them here for. It has created in them a thrift for money. The prevailing opinion in, "Get you and get out." As most of the American civil service employees are 'on contract for three years, one can understand how impressive the "Get you and get out" must be. Besides, this money fever has created a false sense standard. Every type of job has an inviolable code to cut a swain in society. Every other man you meet gives you the impression of being a kind of walking life. The new fourteen hundred dollar a year clerk learns first on arrival the intense necessity of "white men's sticking together in these islands." Then he learns to sport a "giad wagon." Next in line he learns to depreciate the capacity of the Filippino—contempt for the race naturally follows. He splurges in "society," gets the big head off the annual increases to salary, and grows a braggard off the confempt that soaks through his porces for the Filipinos. In time, he finds that, although he is a needy man, he has now two thousand dollars a year is insufficient to support him as a "white man should be." He turns to the "chit" (I. O. U. a*) for relief, and soon finds himself heels over head in debt. Then follows the crime. And the amazing part about it is the amount of sympathy the culprit can generally dig up from his countrymen. Of course this comes because of the generally developed attitude toward the natives. A native is of "no importa", And if he is of "no importa", what he has is naturally manna's "American's" opinion of the Filipino is generally gauged by the salary he draws from the government. A twenty thousand dollar salary can generally make a man see the Filipino in rosette hues; a ten thousand dollar salary can evoke a pretty good speech of praise for them; a five thousand dollar salary burial chief will be interested in Filipino development, but his particular Filipino's aspirations must not be aimed too high. And so it graduates itself. A two thousand five hundred dollar a year man thinks the Filipino will never develop, but he is always one two thousand five hundred dollars. A one thousand dollar a year man thinks the Filipino a—well, one has to respect the proprieties of print. My neighbor is a one thousand dollar man. While no black man has been tried for criminal conduct in office since America has been here, American black men are not altogether free from the taint of the atmosphere I have spoken of. Perhaps the reason none have been thus far tried for looting the official till is because none have been able to get near enough to the till. In the Philippines: a Negro is a Negro and does not share in the responsibilities and honors of Americans. By what I have said, I do not mean to convey the idea that there are no good and honest men in the Philippines; nor that no good has come out of American occupation. I have tried to picture public opinion and the conduct of the majority only as they reflect themselves. Do not focus on the sentiment. (I speak of sentiment only as it affects our mission and the conduct of justice.) I will cite two phil and well known cases: Number 1 was tried for complicity in a train robbery. The train carried a large sum of government funds (what little was left from the Benguet road funds. I have heard), being sent to Manila for deposit. The train was held up in the usual American fashion. In the trial it developed that this man was several thousand dollars older than he accounts as a doubling officer. He was courted on I don't know how many counts. He appealed the case to the Supreme Court and has been out on bail ever since—some two years ago. He has edited a local paper most of the time since, and is thought a brilliant man. Number 2, in a fit of anger, one of his Filipino soldiers overboard and ordered him to swim to the shore. The man could not swim, so he drowned. Mr. Number 2, a captain of Constabulary, was brought to trial, but was dismissed from the service for "unsustainability" by order. For the information concerning Number 2 I am indented to Rev. A. W. Proutch, who published the case in *La Democracia* a few days ago, telling of the times he had made efforts to have this man tried for murder without success. Proutch, who was a Proutch, by the fact of the man's being up for reinstatement in the civil service, to be assigned to one of the other bus drivers. As it is my hope that the friend may not reach justice, I will give his name. — Pigeon, former captain in the Philippines Constabulary, and invite him to the authenticity of the inquiry of either *La Democracia* or *Rea minuto* or Rev. A. W. Proutch, care of either paper, Manila, P. I. CITY PARTY GOT MAJORITY SUPPORT OF AFRO-AMERICANS Committee Reports 65 Per Cent. on Its Side—"Traitors" Hinted At. PHILADELPHIA, November 19.—"We find but two instances of treachery on the part of members of this committee which proves the greater need of missionary work among our men." runs the post election report of the Afro-American Committee T. J. Minton, president; Rev. K. M. Palmer, secretary; and C. Edward Dickerson, treasurer. But they do not specify the "traitors." They add: "The incomplete reports show that 65 per cent, of the honest Afro-American vote supported the City Party ticket, while 48 per cent, voted for Lewis Emery, Jr. The verdict of November is revered. Go read it for February. You certainly voted for Afro-American City Party voter to enroll his name for the greater battles ahead. We are up against the vicious white man and the bad Afro-American." 509-Found Woman Buried PHILADELPHIA, November 19.—The funeral of Mrs. Anna Gaskill, an Afro-American, reputed to be the heaviest woman in West Chester, took place Saturday afternoon. She weighed nearly 500 pounds. It required seven able-bodied men to assist the undertaker in placing the body in the casket, and it was necessary to remove the window jambs to get the casket in the parlor.

The race issue was projected into the campaign in a way and to an extent that startled and quite dismayed us. The whole cause of this peculiar ferment grew out of the face that in making up juniors' ticket two candidates unites for the municipal court, the Republic nominated a colored man. There was little or no attention paid to this after the convention in the early part of the summer. The voters of Chicago have been so uncustomed to see colored men on the Republican ticket for the important offices of membership in the State legislature and county commission that no one seemed to think that any unusual interest would be evicted by an additional representation of the colored people. The party leaders were easily persuaded that insurrection as a means of being a large increase of officers to be elected by the people and that as the colored vote has increased to such a number as to make it a controlling force in a closely contested election, it was only fair to let them share in these new bids. As the campaign progressed and in increased interest and the weak spots in the armor of both parties began to be studied, the colored candidate for judge F. L. Barnett, came in for an unnumerable number of papers, the Hearest papers, the *The Economist* and *American*. Day after day editorial "write-ups" and the most degrading sort of cartoons were aimed at the candidate and the party that nominated him. In the stockyards district and among the *Teammers'* Union and every other place where the anti-Negro sentiment was especially strong on account of frequent strikes, there was a flood of all kinds of vile circulars, cartoons and bitter denunciations printed in various languages. Every paper in the *Teammers'* Union often openly ridiculed the colored candidate for judicial honors or gave him no support. Two days before election thousands and thousands of cartoons were scattered through the streets or mailed to white voters. These cartoons depicted a suddenly appointed court room in which the judge, bailiffs and spectators were of the closest kind of plantation Negroes and in which the culprit was a delicate looking white woman wringing her hands in terror. The only writing on this vile cartoon was: "White Men, Vote Against This." Men and women in the street, on the street cars and everywhere could be heard discussing the awful prospect, in different as to whether or not colored people them give utterance to their hot indignation. In this bitter race feeling Republicans were quite as openly harsh as Democrats. Some of the former were indiscreet enough to declare openly that the time had not yet come to address a Negro: "May it please Your Honor." When this anti-Negro feeling was first arused it was directed against the nominee for judge, but during the last few days it was directly against the other two colored candidates, Oscar De Pellet, and Dr. Lane, nominee respectively for County Commissioner and the State legislature. The colored people of Chicago who have been having a pretty good fine politically were for a moment dared and humiliated by this Mississippi applaint against their political rights. The insulting and vile methods used by Democrats and Republicans in this common CLAYTON'S EXPRESS and Morning Vans. Telephone, 177 Columbus. Trunks, Planes and Furniture Carefully amended. R. Lee Clyton, Owner. T. C. Newlett, Manager sun-10 cause of opposition drew the colored people together as nothing had ever done before. It was a case of "blood thicker than water" and "a united front in the face of a common enemy." Men, women and children everywhere and in every place united their whole strength to meet this unexpected opposition. Yet no one anticipated success for the nominee. When election day was on, everywhere it could be heard, "Knife the Nigger," "Scratch the Nigger," etc. When the polls closed and the votes were counted the early reports showed that Barnett and De Priest were defended by decisive majorities, but the midday it was shown that the judicial nomination increased during the night, and the midday it was shown that the judicial nomination squeezed through by less than 500 majorities running from 25,000 to 30,000 behind the Re-publican nominees. When the opposition found that the color line fight was lost, great was their chargin. Some lawyers of good standing and one newspaper, The Evening Post, asked the successful nominee to resign in the interest of decoy and civic rightousness! It is to be hoped that we shall be spared another season of this riot of race feeling. It will be a long time before this community recovers from the mean effects of this campaign. Yet this ugly experience is not without some compensations. If it brought our enemies to the front it also brought to us many hitherto unknown friends. Men and women of importance in the community gave vent to the contemptible siren of humiliation at the contemptible siren of humiliation at the associates. Democrats as well as Republicans shared in a feeling of shame for their own race of white-skinned people. One of the judges in the Appellate Court who had never voted anything else but a straight Democratic rule for the colored candidate. A very gratifying thing to be noted is that the man who designed and sold the vide cartoons referred to, which were used with such telling effect among the Negroizing people, was found out. He was in the employ of the city and as soon as the city brought to the attention of Mayor Dunn, a Homemaker, he was reprimanded and dismissed from the service of the city. FANNIE BARRIER WILLIAMS Curved by a White Man. PHILADELPHIA, November 15—During a violent quarrel in an eating house at No. 511 South 20 street Saturday night, William Smith, an Afro-American, of 219 Lombard street, was stabbed in the right lung by an unknown white man and so seriously wounded that fears are enterpital. The police say both men made a raided for his recovery at the Penna Hosch rush for the carving knife which lay on the table near by, and with which the cutting was done. Smith failed to secure it and was at the mercy of the white man. The police are looking for his assailant. Flitzerald Not Elected. ATLANTIC CITY, November 9. - Rohner, Fitzgerald, the Afro-American candidate in the City Council from the third ward, was beaten Tuesday. He received 130 votes. Got Editors to Omit Adjective "Colored" Citicage, November 12.—The successful ful opposition of the Afro-American citi- zens of Philadelphia in shutting out Dixon's obnoxious play has had a bracing effect on the Afro-American people of this city. The play had a long run in Chi- icago, and apparently a successful one in the past. But when it again it will get a strong dose of Phil- adelphia treatment. The Afro-Americans here are becoming more and more ten- tious of their rights. An example of this came to light the other day when a com- mittee of them called on the editors of the leading newspapers and insisted that in speaking of the Afro-American candi- dates on the Republican ticket that they mit the adjective "colored." It was the one use of this term in con- nection with the candidate cap, as there are many Republicans who will not vote for an Afro-American if they know it. All the editors seen will- larly agreed to omit the use of the race dealignment. A lady one day, being in need, of some small chance, caitligh downstairs to the cook and inquired, "Mary, have you any copper down there?" "Tee, mum. I've two. But, if you please, mum, they're both me cousin?" was the unexpected reply. Working Girls' Home Between Second and Third Avenues.

The Discharged Soldiers The whole country has been aroused by the order of President Roosevelt disbanding a battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, and the events subsequent and incident to it, condemnation of the order, widespread, being the rule with all classes of the citizenship, outside of the Southern States, where the opinion is general among the white editors that the President did right. Praise of whatever kind from that source is enough to make any Republican President be restless and suspicious of the wisdom of his course. The order of no President has created a wider and more general disatisfaction among the people, because upon the face of it it is contrary to public policy and to the spirit of our institutions; it is of doubtful legality, and decidedly unjust as to ninety-five per cent. of the soldiers affected, who were in no way concerned in the causes leading up to the order, but who are made to suffer equally with the alleged guilty, and is bound to exercise a demoralising influence, as all mob law methods do. The action of the New York Republican Committee in condemning the order of the President is the most striking incident, which has developed in relation to the matter. The action of the committee was brought about by a motion and the eloquent address of Mr. Glechrist Stewart, a member of the committee, and was rushed through under the spell of his eloquence before the committees were able to realize the full import of their action, which amounts to a condemnation of the President. But the incident shows that it is a good and necessary thing to have an Afro-American on guard in the councils of the party, if we are to get fair play in such matters. Of course Mr. Stewart was sustained in his efforts by Mr. R. L. Stokes, a member, also, of the committee and of THE Age staff. The statement has been made in many quarters that soldiers are expected to protect the life and property of citizens and not to destroy them. That is very true. But what relations do the citizens sustain to the soldiers? Do they owe them nothing? When they take it upon themselves to abuse, insult and maltreat the soldiers do not they place themselves in the attitude of enemies, not only of the soldiers but of the fing? Of course they do; and soldiers, who are all human, usually look at it that way, and shoot up the offenders as often as they offend. Because a soldier has a black skin is no reason whatever why he should allow citizen toughs to ride roughshod over him and the uniform he wears. Our soldiers have never received justice at the hands of the Federal Government. They helped to save the Union, they fought long and well in all of the Indian wars since the Rebellion, and they took a distinguished and gallant part in the war with Spain both in Cuba and the Philippines, but not one of them has been made a commissioned officer of the smallest rank for such service since the War of Secession, while former Rebels by the score have been promoted to the highest rank in the regular army. The injustice has been and is so glaring as to make the blood boil with indignation. Secretary of War Taft has ordered a suspension of the President's order until the President returns. The plot thickens. --- The Niagara Movement People. We publish in another column of The Age today an article by Mr. R. E. Patten of Buxton, Iowa, not because he has the right view of the matters about which he writes, but because we want him and all others who think as he does to understand that we have no personal feelings toward any of the people he mentions as holding views different from him. Indeed, we are very much in agreement with the general platform of the Niagara Movement, although the movement was born out of spite and has lives live on police and vittimization. But we are in no moment whatever with the vulgar and criminal methods which the Ningara movement people have practiced ever since they started out to kill off Booker T. Washington and the Editor of Turtles as influences in the life of the African American people. The misbehaged foray which they have made of the 'Jok' is all the evidence that is needed to show that the great mass of the Afro-American people are not to be fooled and led satray by a lot of selfish people, dreamers of dreams and criminals who would blow up a church full of people with dynamite if necessary to carry their point, but who would not harm the hair of a brutal white man's head in a scrap, but would hasten to get out of range of his wrath. The test of the pudding is eating of it. While the Atlanta riots were in full swing, Mr. J. Max Barber moved on Chicago by "the limited" as soon as he could catch one, and Dr. DuBois moved on Alabama and has since been sticking close to Calhoun, while Dr. Bowen remained on the spot and damned the whole race in interviews which plainly showed that he was plunding for a stay of execution. In the frenzy of all this riot, skedaddling and apology Booker T. Washington left New York and went to Atlanta and remained there until the torn passed away. Talk is mighty, cheap, and the Ninja Movement people have a tremendous volume of it in hot storage, but actions count in the estimation of mankind. Mr. Washington does not get far away from the man of the people. He has measured their capacity; he knows their wants; he is their spokesman. Wherever he goes the masses rally to see and to hear him, and they always applaud him to the echo. He very often says and does things that THE ACOUNDS认可 unique and impolite, but we know that he is honest and courageous and that whatever he says and does he firmly believes to be for the best interest of the great man of the people, and these latter also think so. Mr. Washington is not a dreamer; he is practical in thought and act to the verge of blunness. The condition of affairs as it is, and not as he would have it, is the rule by which Mr. Washington governs his speech and act. He never gets excited; he never flies off the handle; and while he has the world for an audience and the man of his race at his back his head is the same size now that it was twenty years ago when he taught school in a log cabin and was unknown outside of Macon county. There are a great many good people in the Niagara Movement. It is the wish of the writer that all differences between them and the good people in the National Afro-American Council should be composed and a combined effort be made to better the conditions that weigh so heavily upon the race. No good has come, and none will come; of such warfare as has been waged against each other for some time past. A blind man can see that much. We should fight the enemy, not each other; for the enemy is strong and united, and we are weak and disunited. It is a proposition verified by "every day's report of wrong and outrage" that "if we do not hang together we shall hang separately." There never was a time in the history of the race when onesess of aim and concert of action were more necessary than at this time. But how are we to get them? Is it the Niagara Movement people who started the row and who keep it up. --- Chinese Labor in Africa The results of the investigation of the British government into the abuses of Chinese labor in British South Africa are of such an amazing value that acter that they cannot be given to the public; but they are bound to lead to the ultimate driving out of much labor and the employment again of native labor. It was predicted that the employment of Chinese labor in the mines would cheapen the operation of the mines and not decrease the number of white employees, but this has been found not to be the case. Indeed, there has been a steady falling off in the number of white employees. It is right here that the British toe feels the pinch most, the desire being to increase rather than diminish the number of white residents in South Africa. We are glad that the white Europeans are having plenty of trouble in Africa. They are entitled to all of the trouble that they can honestly get, on the theory that they do no fail to give other people as much trouble as possible. The Chesty Japanese. A great many people and newspapers which do not care for the Japanese, the Chinese or the African people, or any other people with an epidermis "not colored as their own," are making themselves unpleasantly heard, if not felt, as a result of the action of the school authorities of San Francisco, acting on a California law, in forcing Japanese children into separate schools. These white people appear to think that under the Constitution of the Republic and its treaty laws they only are protected in their "life, liberty," and "pursuit of happiness," and they only have worth, power and the subline spirit of treatment against injury, and insult. They speak and act in a peril disregard of the rights and feelings of others, and in doing so they make an exhibition of themselves which digests the people of Europe, Asia and Africa, and as they are growing in numbers and vociferation of their stupid opinions, they are bound to affect injuriously the standing and commercial interests of the United States. They have already done that with the people of China, and they are doing all that they can to do it with the people of Japan and Italy, by an attempt to segregate them in the life of the people of the United States, when they are permanently or temporarily domiciled in them, and by disparaging estimates of them in public outings. Some Americans have been charging the Japanese people with being cheaty, and another term for "sawed head," because of the prominence and distinction which they achieved in the wars with China and Russia. There may be some truth in it, as far as some of the people of Japan is concerned, and if so it is justified by what they have achieved; but it is not true as far as the responsible government of Japan is concerned. The Mikado simply stands on his treaty rights that Japanese in the United States shall be treated as other aliens are treated and as nizens are treated in Japan, when covered by treaty stipulations. A great many Americans reside in Japan, and a great many more visit it from time to time, and these people, who are often course, vulgar and brutal in their treatment of the feelings and the institutions, especially the religious ones, of the Japanese, receive a consideration from the police and the people of Japan which is really chivalrous, and which is not attached to any of the European peoples, including Great Britain, residing or visiting the country; because the Japanese government and people have herefore been a sincere affection for the government and people of the United States. An American in Japan will receive more consideration from the officials and the people than he will receive in his own country, but he does not appreciate it, as the writer had THE NEW YORK, AQN: THURSDAY; NOVEMBER 22, 1904. The Japanese have a right to be cheerful; it they want to show it, they have a right to do it; and it is not possible for them to do it more vulgarity and offensive than Americans show it at home and abroad. White Americans may be unconscious of it, but they are brutally coarse and vulgar in their contact with yellow and black people. Immoral Journalism. The editor of The Atlanta Constitution would like to cruc Dr. William Hayes Ward, of The Independent, Mr. Owald Garrison Villard of The New York Evening Post and the Editor of THE Aur because they keep the searchlight of public turned upon the doings of the Southern States, where government by anarchy has taken the place of a republican form of government, but he can't do it. Some time ago; commenting on conditions of journalism in Atlanta, The Evening Post said: Has the yellow journal of The Atlanta News strine no better way of whipping the populace into buying than issuing shrieking extras about every rape or attempt at rape? If these papers really had the interests of their section at heart, they would sooner suppress all news of such outbreaks than display it. In every community there occur sexual crimes, here in New York, in the rural districts of Massachusetts, in Michigan, in New Hampshire, in New Jersey, go by that the Frankfurter Zeitung does not report some horrible case of depravity within its territory. But no other press except the Southern serves up offences of this kindo disgrace. Yet it carefully suppresses all accounts of white men's assaults on colored girls—there were two in Atlanta recently. No Associated Press dispatch ever heralds those, while the crime of a Negro heir is ever a frightening story. The Negro community of the South speak out against this exploiting of the heiress, but should lift a protesting voice against every deliberate effort to degrade the Negro into a merely servile condition. Following the loss of the ballot, the Negro has been "get apart" in railroad and street cars and stations, churches, practically in every place, because some people contact the "superior rate" still not sent. The Negro's inferiority must be hysterically ground into him at every opportunity. This is plain statement of the case. The Southern newspapers are the only ones that give vulgar prominence to the crime of criminal assault, and they have done it from the first, not for the purpose of suppressing the crime but to discredit the Afro-American people, and thus to justify the political and civil outrages which they commit upon the rights of the Afro-American people. Criminal assault is one of the vilest of crimes, but it is confined to no one country or section or race. No Associated Press dispatch from the Southern States, dealing with the relations of the races, can be relied upon as veracious. When The Aog made that charge some time ago Mr. Melvin E. Stone, the President of the Associated Press, got very blue in the face about it; but the horrible truth of it will stick. The immoral and vulgar character of the Southern white press debases and demoralizes the whole Southern population of all races. It is a menace to National peace and orderly government. Talkers and Doers. The Cleveland Gazette, which is a high-class grumbler and fault finder, insists that the Afro-American Council and kindred organizations have not succeeded because they have failed "to accomplish, or even seriously try to accomplish, material results for the race." The editor of The Gazette knows that he utters a deliberate falsehood when he says that the Afro-American Council has not even tried to accomplish anything material for the race. He knows full well that the failure to do things has been due entirely to the indifference of the mass of the race, including the editor of The Gazette, to give moral or material support to the Council, or kindred organizations. The people who have kept alive the Council have put their time and money in it, only to have the people at large refuse to support the work and to have the chronic grumblers and fault finders lie about them and the work. The writer has washed his hands of the whole organization business. When the race gets ready to organize it can do it; he has spent all of the time and money in such work that he will. Let the growers, fault finders and liars try their hand at it. --- Mr John A. Roobling, a prominent New York bridge contractor, took part in a man hunt and murder in North Carolina last week and received the praise of a jury for his work. In a civilized community he would be hung for the罪. Why can't Roobling each notter to be admitted to the police and the courts? --- The Afro Cubans are made at the way their independence has been sacrificed by Estrada Falcon and his son, and there has been some talk of fight among them. The Macao Daily Post, controlled by an Afro Cuban, said that Afro Cubans is funny. He says: "Now wouldn't it be great to have 20,000 Negroes sent over from the black belt of the South to fight for their country and die as heroes, and at the same time old the United States to fight for the that eldest Cubans and Filipinos, with the United States and their people. --- Mr William Randolph Heart spent $255,032.22 in the effort to be elected Governor of New York on the Independence Democratic ticket. The fun game high, but Mr. Heart was bound to have it. This expenditure by one person for campaign purposes is said to be the largest in the history of American politics. But the amazing thing about it is that Mr. Heart of his campaign was not the only case. He has for years denounced in his newspapers the lavish expenditure of money in the effort to secure office, by parties and by individuals, as tending to debase the offrage and to demoralize the public ser- vice. Then all in all, Mr. Bennett was a stronger item in the public estimation before the beginning and close of the pubernatal campaign then after it. Like Mr. William Jenkins Bryan, Mr. Hempel has seen his political aspirations fade away so that nothing remains of them but a big jump in his threat and a big hole in his bank account. **The dear Cuban will have to live a long time before they again get their grip on their independence. You can't eat your pie and have it.** The death of Mr. James W. Mars, of Brooklyn, removes from /among the Afro-American people a man who has lived a long and useful life, and who has endured himself to the people by his leavable character and high public spirit. His heart was filled with love and admiration for his lungs, the Petersons, the Bowerses, the Gulgnoses, the Whites, the Days, the Marries and others of the old families, for a long series of years furnished the brains and the public spirit of the Afro-American people of Greater New York. Mr. Mars lived a long, a useful and an honorable life, and he was a man of great character, him, as it has and does miss his fellow-earners in the hard but good work who have gone before him over the great divide. --- Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, the black guard Senator for South Carolina, will not be allowed to lecture for the Teachers' Institute of Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Charles Orr, the School Director, compelled the lecture committee of the Institute to cancel the engagement by refusing to allow any of the school buildings to be used' for the purpose of the lecture. But why did the lecture committee' of the Cleveland Teachers' Institute engage Senator Tillman? What could such a swabbocking politician as he have to say that the Cleveland teachers could wish to profit by? We could never understand why self-respecting bodies of people in the North and West should want to hear such low and strife breeding creatures as Tillman talk. THE NIAGARA MOVEMENT PEOPLE Prailea of Dr. Dabols and Max Barber Sung. To the Editor of the New York Age: I believe you are a man of exceptionally good judgment and sound common sense. If I believed otherwise I would not write you this. Of course, we are all given to errors and mistakes, and so I know that you are not exempted. Then you will listen to me, when I tell you that you have made such a great mistake in "fighting". J. Max Barber and W. E. I. DuBois that you have done the race a great wrong. Our enemies applaud the stand you have taken against those two manly men. In your paper of the last lst, you comment Dr. Morris for his "brave and wise words and hope that our leaders through out the country will follow Dr. Morris's example." Your "hope" is a vain one when you are surely a victim to protect what your enemies Sorely a victim to be abusing of your "hope" before we see the same "hope" shattered by trying to prove to our people and our enemies, that Mr. Barber's flight from Atlanta was not to save his life in order that he might do more good and effective work for his people, but for a selfish and fraudulent purpose. Oh, Mr. Fortune, how hurtful! What! that! that! that! independent black The TA! that TA! that TA! no other magazine published by black men has fought more vigorously for manhood rights and privileges for the race. When you have done Mr. Barber you do not stop; you inflict a wound upon the noble light and intelligence of the race by striking W. E. B. DuBois. You have done nothing against by fight within the race. Why do you fight? Why do you say that DuBois's teachings tend to invite riots between the races? You are greatly mistaken when you say that Washington, D.C. wants no such man as DuBois. Washington wants no such cowardice as is taught by B. T. Washington, but she needs both DuBois and Boker. Washington is Washington is Washington and is doing more for the material gain of the race than any other Afro-American living. The man that teaches the right way to do and to live is kept in the background the longest. The one that has an artificial way gets the largest following in the shortest time. Christ, when on earth, taught the simplest and sweetest things ever taught by man, and thousand years have passed since then and millions are yet ignoring his teachings. DuBois, Boker, Grimke, Barber and others of their type are the kind of men we need to lead us. They ask the race to do no more nor less than other races have done under similar circumstances. They do not beg us to leave our farms and flock to the cities. They say, demand that we be educated. They say, demand that they are right. They have a small following now, but they will be heard. If you cannot encourage manhood in the Afro-Americans, do not crush those few who are trying to do so. In other words, do not fight. All of us have a mission. If we can't say good, do not say at all. "We should see to it that we follow the advice of Dr. Morris throughout the country." These are your words. Then why the impetus, unneeded criticism? R. E. PATEN, Baxford, Iowa, November 12, 1985. Has Bought Him a Gun. Will you kindly allow me a little space in your valuable paper, as I am now a constant student of it and shall continue to be so and to urge all of our people to go to school. I am a student of you most is that brave and fearless stand you have taken for our race. The doctrine you are preaching now goes deep down into my heart and the hearts of every colored man in this country. I shoot and shoot to kill every white face that dares to attempt further to degrade our race. We have stolld lily by too long and have been shot some together at once and organized to shoot them all, pred to die on some bloody battlefield, for I tell you that the present state of affairs cannot continue. The President, a White House official, has been shot at White House, has now by his nasty treatment of our brave soldier who defended him in Cuba, put him right in line with the rest of the world. Baltimore, November 12, 1906. From The Metropolitan Americas From The Immortal American. Those Nigerian living Yankees are sending all mets of proteins to Washington against the discharge of the Negro soldiers who raided and murdered about Boko Haram. "Tax," they argue. Their dismissal is the most pernicious thing the President has done. He dismissed them "without honor." The latter they themselves got rid of. Their honor? The idea of a lot of soldiers killing the citizens of their own country! But the Negro is the bound dog of humanity. When he fades he has the power over women or men he uses it. A whole pack of bounties will jump, an entire army will not one in the pack would attack it singly. Several of this Twenty-fifth Regiment were in fall under the charge of murder of the citizens of Brownville they shot down. The colonel had orders from Washington to discharge them from jail and from the army without honor. They have been discharged without their heads. INDEPENDENT VOTING. Republican Superintition Hard Hit in Manhattanwetts. Boston, November 19.—In the campaign which ended on the 10th of November the colored vote in Massachusetts—especially in Boston—played a more important part than it has played for years. There was more independence developed by this vote than it has shown since the days of Gen. Butler's exciting campaign for gubernatorial honors. There was, in fact, on last election day a decided division made in the colored vote by John B. Moran and the unatisfactory record of his successful rival, Governor Guild, on the Jamestown appropriation measure, which he had to defend against the future against the stout resistance of the colored people of the commonwealth, reinforced by the protest of such white men as William Lloyd Garrison, Col. N. P. Hollowell, Hon. Albert E. Pillarsby and Col. Thomas Wentworth Higginson. The colored people were almost solidly arrayed against the measure appropriating $50,000 of Massachusetts' money for the Jamestown tri-centenial celebration next year, because the laws of Virginia "Jim Crow" colored people in general on her railroads, steamboats, in her hotels and restaurants, and in every possible way able to invent a rampant race prejudice is able to invent, the rampant race prejudice laws would do the same to colored visitors from Massachusetts in particular to the Jamestown Exhibition. Massachusetts sentiment and laws backed by her $50,000 appropriation to the contrary notwithstanding. The colored people felt at the time, and feel to day, for that matter, that this appropriation was finally put through the legislature against their earnest protest, and that their friends by the powerful influence of Gor. Guild, exercised by him to please the dear South at the same time as claims of Massachusetts colored citizens indention and treatment under the laws of Virginia with other Americans with a white skin who with then may visit the exhibition in 1907. The position taken by Gov. Guild relative to the matter was hotly resented by leading colored men at the time and during the campaign, and some of these men undertook to punish the governor at the polls on election day by voting for John B. Morning. Many colored men who had never voted before any other but the straight Republican ticket cut the head of that ticket by putting a cross against the name of the Democratic adminee. Such independence and disposition to punish at the polls candidates for office whom these colored voters believe had the right to price interest and rights cannot be too bitter, and strongly encouraged. For it is only by such many and intelligent use of the ballot that they can compel consideration from parties and politicians in the North where the colored vote is free. pollution, or not, and something in the hands at the polls on closing day whether their friends be held Dumontes or not? We have on, we pray so. May the hope have be realized, the prayer specially be answered. In the campaign just closed in Massachusetts the Republican State convention—put two planks into its platform which were something in the nature of peanuts which children dale out to an apple to a peanut to a peanut. These two planks are intended to satisfy the colored vota. They were the anti-drenchment and anti-lyning planks—both very well if they pressed one nail or grain of sincerity in them. They were, in fact, nothing but two small bags of party peanuts, and mostly shells at that, intended to please and hambone colored voters. A Republican Congress and President pay no more attention to their existence than if they were nothing but empty peanut shells, empty party promises, which indeed, they are in more demand. John B. Moran exposed their empties, turned the party shades inside out in his Fannell Hall speech then, first in respect to the plank on distranchment: "There are 42 lines on the distranching of voters in the South (laughter) they say. That is to say, wherever the right to vote is abridged or abridged by any State in violation of the Constitution of the United States it should be asserted and vindicated; and wherever the right to vote is denied or abridged, without violation of the Constitution of the United States, it should be followed by the reduction in the representation therein prescribed. In our opinion, the right to vote is not a form of right and cannot be avoided by the Republican party without dishonor." "Now, if for the purposes of this portion of my argument we may assume that one of these two things has been done in some Southern State, then I say, there having been a plank meant for the Senate and Republican House, they were called on, if this plank means anything, to have taken action long ago. (Cheeren, Cheeren.) And when they may that in our opinion the duties herein set forth are sacred and cannot be avoided by the Republic, they must be forbidden from branding the brand their foreheads with the brand of dishonor in their own platform." Second, in respect to the anti-lynching plank thus: "There is another plank of 20 lines in their platform. It condemns lynching. There is no lynching in Massachusetts—it is not allowed there. We condemn lynching while. We condemn all the rule of the mob and the atrocious crime which frequently provokes it. Lench law not only enforces the laws of the land, it also contempt for the laws of the land, but also falls to prevent the recurrence of the crime." Good sound language, providing you mean to prove to you that those who wrote that plank did not believe in it. They acted in a manner which proves that they did not "And when he uttered those words, according to that article, he met with loud applause from the 1,500 republicans in the town hall of them (the cheerers). And at the close of his speech he was given three cheers. With their mouths they say to you now that they are opposed to lynch law and that they are opposed to their actions at that time, inviting that man to address them by listening to his speech by applauding him with hand and mouth, by giving him cheers they showed up with, and cries of "good boy." Such robust unmasking of Republican hypocrisy and exposure of Republican shams in respect to the colored vote in the South and the iniquity of lynch law can do no possible harm to the cause of the Negro, North or South, or any real harm to the Republican party for that matter, but quite the contrary, it seems to us. Whenever the colored vote in the South shall cause to take such Republican shams into higher commissioning of a new and higher commissioning of a race North and South alike shall have been made. The political salvation of the Negro lies not in a partisan and slavish ballot but in a free and independent vote. And don't use our colored voters forget wholly this saving truth in the future of our race life in the North. COUNTY COMMITTEE'S ACTION. If the Canal Zone supports a daily newspaper, the substance of the resolution of the Republican county committee appealing to the President to rescind his order discharging with dishonor the battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry is worth cable tolls. As far as Mr. Roosevelt is concerned, the adoption of the resolution was the most significant and important thing that happened in the United States on Thursday. Vambull Won Game for WI Mariani Won Game for Minnesota. CITIGAO, November 15. The hero of the game last Saturday between Minnesota and Chicago Universities was "Bob Mariani" the MFO American end of the Minnesota place kick which great Minnesota its winning score. He often away the whole left end of Chicago's line and almost invariably tore great gaps in the line for his half-backs. From The New York Press Club. There were almost all in public belief, persons as white as in the midwife which whitened the skin of the African-American man most accustomed to Mr. Crawford's presence, and many as black, have been ignored by many of the first that called. Light-shinned in the greatest competence, with dark blood in the vein, who has made little hearty ventures. In England he has for some time, though in the still young years, been made a man of the highest esteem, and hence have been honored on the occasion of many congrats and thanks. His principal work, "Hawaii," was represented in the program by an encyclic, the "Spring Song," which was sung with the spirit of the Hawaiian people, his spirit voice and natural expression. The sang the quaint "Mimuquile," and several other songs. Vitalia声色 were contributed by Mr. Felix Powler Wdr, who played with a good tone and remarkably pure hauwha sound. Coleridge seems to be particularly fond of Mr. Harry T. Burdick sang "Lewin Pumling," "A Corn Song," "Once Only," "The Rested by the Broken Break," and the rest of his songs. He also lifted the brook song best; it was individuality. Mr. Burdick is one of the best local singers. He has not only a few solo songs, but known how to use it. He also uses his brains, associates distinctly, and knows how to about. Of such songs we have too few. The composer accompanied the singers and the violinist and also played more Negro and Oriental melodies alone on the piano. He plays like one who not only plays with interest but also rest with interest even those pieces which are not remarkable for invention. The African element enters as an agreeable spice; his workmanship is excellent and—more important—he is quite adept as are others only in chaining him as one of their best composers. His Sound and Original Musicality From The New York Times. Another distinguished foreign composer appeared before a New York audience most evening, swelling the heart of those who knew their own music. Mr. S. Coleridge-Taylor came quietly, almost unbelied, but his is a name which in England has been raised young man, and what will seem more remarkable in this country, a mulatto. His concert last evening was devoted entirely to his own compositions, and he himself was a great composer, and the dignity of the truly distinguished; and both he and his music made a deep impression upon, those who were there, and both he and his music posed, and that upon which his fame chiefly rests, work in the larger forms for chorus and orchestra, could not be represented at this concert. Songs and pieces for the choir, for the orchestra, up the programme, in which he had the assistance of Miss Lola Johnson, soprano; Harry T. Burleigh, baritone, and Felix T. Burleigh, tenor; of these Mr. Burleigh, who is well known as a singer in this city, was the only one of artistic capacities really sufficient for a concert; Ridge-Taylor himself plays the piano with the skill of a composer, not of a virtuoso, but he gave an admirable account of his piano pieces and played the accompaniments of his other works with tastes and skills. His songs show a fine gift of melody and distinction in the harmonic treatment of the accompaniment. Most characteristic and most valuable from a musical point of view are his songs, "The Corn Soo," a reminder of autumnal days on a plantation in the South, with a Negro refrain. In this he has created an atmosphere and heightened the light sang it with sympathy and feeling and with uncommonly good association. Mr. Colderidge-Taylor played two of his "symbolic arrangements" of Negro songs for the piano, (not as they were written by him), and "The West Indian," and "The West Indian," of which Gutschalky years ago made a once popular transcription.) There were also his "Zulekka," and an Oriental waltz. The other songs were tempt to use the Negro folk songs material in artistic music and have many successful and striking features. The other songs and the violin pieces have not quite so much that would call special attention to them, and they are all admirable music and the work of sound and original musicianship. Strong Emotion Guided by Scholarship From The New York Sun There have been many colored race is intensely musical but it has only slight support from facts. There have been few real musicians among the Nerbes and fewer composers. Those who have been more musically inclined of the music hall order or those given in Mendelssohn Hall last night was especially noteworthy. The purpose of the entertainment was to give a hearing to some of the slighter productions of the disbanded orchestra. Taylor, who is, though born in London 31 years ago, half African. He was himself the chief performer of the evening and his assistants were musical persons of the colored race. Many colored persons of the colored race. Many colored persons of the colored race. Through fear of making themselves conspicuous they failed to give the composer an enthusiastic demonstration. There was, however, no lack of applause, because the orchestra had to express their approval heartily. Mr. Coleridge-Taylor dedicated the piano and his assistants were Lola Johnson, soprano, Harry T. Burleigh, baritone, and soprano, Kate Foster. Such a slender force it was impossible to present any of the composer's more serious works. In February, 1904, the Church of Christ a sacred canata, dealing with the Feast of Christ. In spite of the somewhat sentimental character of some of its melodies the work made a good impression. The work was also a coded generally to be his masterpiece. These works ought to be heard while he is in this country. Mr. Night's concert was devoted to the performance of some piano and violin pieces and some songs. Some of the music exhibited Mr. Coleridge-Taylor's musicianship in the artistic treatment of Negro musicians and other performing setting of Mrs. Brownings' "When some beloved voice" were examples of his work in the broader domain of general music. That strong feeling for the sentimental nature of his expected from one of the composer's blood was found in all the numbers, but it was guided by scholarship. This man of African descent at any rate is musical and his work was a natural gift without altering them. One of the gems of the concert was "The Songs of Songs" thoroughly artistic setting of the music by Ilya Karpov colored pool, sung with a pretty quality of voice, with taste and feeling by Mr. Hurray. A cappella arrangement, a gryppy arrangement, a taking song called "Mingullo," with an old Spanish text, would doubtless have pleased better if it had been more capable of more capable longer than Miss Johnson. THANKS! To the Editor of The New York Age: Accept my commendation for your defense of Afro-American soldiers Ju- New York City, November 16. Northern White Editors Score Receivelt Severely Freely, Threaten What They Would Have Done on Election Day — An Ideal Shattered One of the most significant results of President Roosevelt's parental dismissal of three companies of the 20th Infantry in the revolution of a latent sense of fair play in the white men of the North. The action of the Republican County Committee in asking the President to rescue his order was a most notable and emphatic example of this truth. Other examples are the editorials from Northern white papers quoted below. Of this absorbing desire for justice in the white North the South had better take cognition. Another significant result is the revelation of the Afro-American people's growing independence and unity. Our race papers make no bones of showing their extreme indignation over the President's act. The threat is boldly made that had it been made known before election revenge would have been taken on many Republican Congressmen. This is as it should be. THE UNWRITTEN LAW. Even "The Washington Post" Pleads for Soldiers. Considering its importance and its unprecedented character, there has been very little said about the President's whoole discharge of three companies of colored troops in order to punish for riotous conduct a few individual members, whose identity could not be ascertained, be cause their contries refused to tell on them. Public sympathy will be entirely with the President in desiring to punish the outrages committed. That men enlisted for the purpose of maintaining good order and protecting citizens in their homes and rights should themselves become the brutal and wanton assailants of both cannot be too sternly reprobated, and the guilty parties, if accreted, too severely dealt with, undoubted, too, every one, under all circumstances, is bound to disclose all he knows of the violation of the law and not to shield the guilty, but there has always existed in all sorts of organizations a sentiment which has plainly received no small degree of public approval, that it was justifiable for comrades closely associated to shield each other. Not to do so has been widely regarded as disloyal and disoborable. Such refutals to testify have been not infrequent at West Point and. Annapolis, and no course has ever been exerted against them. The general theory of the law that it was better that ten guilty men should escape rather than that one innocent one should suffer. Similar infactions of discipline have never been dealt with in such a way in the army. When in the State of Washington members of the Fourth Cavalry took from jail and hanged a man who had killed one of their number, and it could not be learned who the culprits were, the colonel of the regiment was court-martialed and punished as the responsible head of the command. In further reason for mitigation of drastic action against the company, it may be said that their general record for discipline and conduct was good, and that they had borne themselves most suitably in action. Furthermore, while president's power to discharge a slander cannot be questioned, it was not contempt for purposes of punishment, but able him, when circumstances just to release an enlisted man from ingition. Punishment is supposed w a trial. When to a discharge, as a matter of punishment, is added, as in this case, penalties which cannot be inflicted without the process of law, it is an innovation not a little startling and likely to be challenged. If the President can arbitrarily, without trial, deprive a citizen, who happens or the time being to be a soldier, of the right to enter the military service of the country or any civil branch of it as long as he lives, as he has assumed to do in his case, why may he not deprive him of citizenship or of property, or even of life? STUNG authorities Have Stirred Up Hornetes Nest of Public Indignation. From The Springfield Republican. It was rehanked in these columns the day that there would be much public sympathy for the three companies of zero soldiers who are to be discharged on the United States army "without prior" because no one among them would inform officers against the few who "shoot" the town of Brownville, Tex. There unmistakably a great amount of such sympathy, and the authorities responsible for the discharge of the three companies not feel the sting of public disapproval. Especially noteworthy has been the number of letters of protest from old my officers, even men who were educated at West Point, and their own or those of their侍候 unit, and even those of their institution take a purely military view of the case are not necessarily used in support of the punishment imposed upon the Negro soldiers. One old my officer, who signs his letter "West inter," writes to *The New York Times* that "no man with the first act of a soldier would 'peach' on his仆公ations. Should a cadet at West int be guilty of so dishonorable an act would be cut by the entire corps; no would speak to him." Sometimes other classes in school or college are subsided because they refuse to testify first some member supposed to be guilty of a violation of school rules, and method of discipline has been copied the army authorities in the present. Yet public opinion always has, probably always, will regard with a sure of sympathy those who, not be placed under oath in a lawfully compelled defense, refuse to testify against and condescend at a military being made regardable by the 52th Infantry may so appear to the military author, to those who are ordering the effect of their action upon the general use of the country, when belonging to william Spend, and not in the land occupied. If the government was unable to discover the identity of the soldier, who commissioned the offence at Brounard, it should have dismoulded the case, evidently, rather than punish the innocent alike with the penalty; or if anyone was to be published for the bad discipline of certain companion, why should not the blow have fallen upon the officers who are responsible for the behavior of their men? SUPER SECOND THOUGHT. The Republican County Committee of New York County, Thursday night, appealed to the President to remind his order dishonorably discharging from the army three companies of the Twenty-fifth Regiment. The resolution was adopted without a dissenting voice, after an effort had been frustrated to abelieve it into the custody of the Executive Committee. The action of the County Committee is significant in that it represents more than the sentiment of merely a single political organization. So far as we know, the President's action in this case has found few apologists, except in the South, where the sentiment against the employment of soldiers ever is explicable on grounds that have no relation to the efficiency of those soldiers as servants of the Federal Government. Some members of the Twenty-fifth In family were guilty of crimes of violence at Brownville, in the State of Texas. The crimes were of the most serious nature, and the commission of them by uniformed men enlisted under the National colors, aggravated the community which suffered from them far more than if they had been committed by ordinary citizens, white or black. Every attempt made to discover the guilty parties failed through the refusal of members of the regiment to give the necessary information. This declination to assist the authorities doubtless made of some soldier, who did not actually participate in the outrages, but who had visual knowledge of them, accessories after the fact. The penalty of dishonorable discharge is as justly visited upon them as it is upon the unidentified criminals who perpetrated the atrocities. In the management of the vulnerable companies many individuals must suffer for offenses of which they had no guilty knowledge, and toward the punishment of which they could not in any way have assisted the War Department or the President. It may be hard for Mr. Roosevelt to admit he has moved hastily and unfairly in this matter, but it should be harder still for him to rest under the accusation of injustice, now so freely and generally made against him here in the North. The case is one for sober second thought. THE LAW IN THE CASE. Can Roosevelt Make Dicharge "Dinah- Rosevelt" From The New York World. In army circles as well as outside of them President Roosevelt's wholesale order of dishouorable discharge against every man in three companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry is indignantly condemned. Aside from its injustice and expediency, its legality is challenged by competent authorities. As Commander-in-Chief of the Army the President has absolute power to discharge any enlisted man without trial, but has he legal authority to make that discharge "dishouorable" at his caprice? It would be well if the courts were called on to determine this point. Congress saw fit years ago to limit the President's powers over commissioned officers and to prescribe trials in all cases. But the enlisted man is utterly without prosecution. He does not need to be guilty of or even guilty of any offense against the regulations. It is enough for the President to be in a bad humor or to feel an impulse to "do things," including the wrong thing, and nearly 200 colored soldiers are turned out of the army in disarray. President Roosevelt admits that many innocent men will suffer by his order. He does not even know how many soldiers are guilty of participating in the Brownville outrages, or how many know who the guilty ones are. Nothing makes any difference. Still, no one recalls that the Lieutenant Colonel of the Rough Riders in the spring of 1888 demanded extraordinary measures when his troopers jumped their horses over his tent at San Antonio. Quite the contrary. If any of them have not held Federal jobs since, it must be because they have not asked for them. Yet the colored "regulars" of the Twenty-fifth Infantry figured quite as heroically, if not so solemnly, before Santiago as the undisciplined Rough Riders. Among the soldiers dishonorably discharged this week at El Reno are non commissioned officers who by long and faithful service would have soon been entitled to the benefits of the retired list. Six of the discharged men, according to the records, have medals of honor and thirteen certificates of merit. Some of these colored soldiers have seen service on the Western frontier. In Cuba and in the Philippines. Three private have been dishonorably discharged at Fort Riley, Kan. from the Ninth Cavalry, in which they reenlisted this fall after their term of enlistment in the Twenty-fifth Infantry expired. Knowing none to be guilty, President Roosevelt allows none to go unpunished. COMMENT SUMMED UP. General Indignation Shown by Northern Papers - South Jubilant. "The dishourable discharge of an entire battalion of Negro troops from the Twenty-fifth Infantry, because of complicity in the riots at Brownville, Texas, last August, is exciting much unfavorable comment throughout the North. President Roosevelt, indorsing the recommendation of Inspector-General Garlington, ordered this dismissal, we are told by the press dispatches, not because the entire battalion participated in the riots, but because they continued, as the report puts it, "to stand together in a determination to resist the detection of the guillot." This "executive typhus" of colored troops, "many of whom were serving with the colors when Theodore Roosevelt was barely out of college," to quote The New York World, is booked upon by many of the press as very extraordinary, if not unrarrantable. The New York Age (African-American) is emphatic in its denunciation of the order. In these words it voices its displeasure: It is in carrying into the Federal Government some of the laws of the United States, which themselves and including laws shall help the legal authorities my out and deliver positively to the mob black allied to have committed one sort of crime. The principle involved is not only violence and contrary to the spirit of our Constitution, but to an outrage upon the law of the United States.

They are men, many who have faithfully served their her a quarter of a century; many have followed the flag where he stood, in America, in Cuba and Philippines.

The white pream, while not palligating the original offense of the troops, in particularly in the North, almost united in denouncing the resulting punishment of the innocent with the guilty as unduly severe. If the real offenders cannot be detected, still, contends The New York Evening Post, the cause of justice is not served by the punishment of many innocent privates. The responsibility, and consequently the blame, lies farther back, says this paper. Thus: 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-married their wife, having a divorce. He would have asked them. How did your men get out of hand? How was it that they obtained their arms and ammunition? Where were the officer of the day and the captain, where were your precautions? Why did you let the offenders return to quarters undetected? If these officers had failed to give satisfactory answers than they would have confessed their lack of fitness for command. So long as the officers go not free, Mr. Roosevelt cannot maintain that he has disempensed even-handed justice." That some punishment is deserved by the men of the battalion for shielding the guilty is admitted by The New York Sun, but this paper agrees also that the officers are primarily to blame and should suffer their plight. Do not some examinations of punishment have been it? It asks, "to teach the offending battalion a lesson, such as banishment for a probationary period to a remote post, for instance, to Alaska?" There are some papers which express satisfaction with the President's order, Says The Pittsburgh Dispatch. "The first duty of a soldier is submission to discipline, and in view of the obstinacy of these troops, dishonorable mustering out of the service seems to have been the only remedy." The desire of the President for a "square deal" is evidenced, we are told, by his ensurance of one of the white officers of another regiment who is alleged to have spoken derogatively of colored troops as a class. Of this The Philadelphia Inquirer observes: Such remarks, it need hardly be said, are justified and proper. The American citizen of African descent is equal before the law to the white man, and when he seeks military service the door must be as open to him as to any other. Besides, when properly led he is not a slave and Colonel Pitcher's strictures—if he made them arrear in every way unwarranted. The New Orleans Times-Democrat informs the action of the President, but says that some may assert that, in taking two weeks to come to the decision, he was waiting for the elections to pass off so that he would not "give the Negroes in the close districts in the North in the Congressional rights cause for dissatisfaction with the party of which he is the leader of the African National Association" records the indictment with the Times-Democrat gives the order, and adds: "If the Negro would rise himself in the estimation of the community, he must demonstrate by deeds his willingness, his rudginess to assist in the suppression of lawlessness on the part of his own race." LEST WE FORGET A reader of *The Sun* who hopes that the President on mature reflections will call a halt on the execution of his order dismissing in dishonor, and with forfeiture of the right to civil emplacement by the Government, the battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, some of whose members committed murder and mayhem at Brownville, pleads in behalf of the regiment that at Siboney during the Cuban campaign it "volunteered to face the source of yellow fever under conditions that made the disease more to be dreaded than Manser bullets." In this he is mistaken; it was another Negro regiment, the Twenty-fourth Infantry, that was ordered to fever stricken Siboney after the assault on San Juan Hill, in which it lost three officers and ten men and had four officers and seventy one men wounded. The story of his heroism in the fever camp has been told by an officer as modest as he is brave, Major Alfred C. Markley, now commanding the Thirteenth Infantry at Manila, but it is buried in the report to the War Department made in 1888 by the Major General commanding the army. On July 15, the first day it could leave its interruptions on the hill, General Toral having at last capitulated, the Twenty-fourth was ordered at 4 o'clock in the afternoon to proceed to the base hospital, and at 5:30 it began the march of fourteen miles down the trail, arriving at Nihonye during the night with a complement of fifteen officers and 450 men. Sixty-five nurses were needed for the post camp, and a total of 1,000 attendants for the hospital proper. Captain A. A. Augur of Company II called for volunteers for the post camp, after explaining the risks of the service. "Fifteen gallant fellows," said Major Markley, "responded from his company, and this time example soon produced more than were needed for all purposes." But they were all needed, every man of them, before the resilience had run its course and the camp was broken up. We quotes from Major Markley's report: "By the end of July yellow fever had run all the hospitals, including a new one established in a large railroad shed. All of them were ill, and the hospital was impossible. All wards and its Surgeons, nurses and hospital staffs were now among the patients; and so it continued to about August 20, when determined that all were taken up to wake the QF of the hospital." The died; three officers were expected to die; three were dangerously ill, and are more or he snapped. Out of distress pressed two wounds in hispled three趾, but doing well kept and well and well being mostly within a radius of fifty feet. Officers kept up when they were worn out because they were worn out when they did give up, not a jar occurred. The officers of this regiment were a unit, as usual. Of the fifty-five men sent as nurses to the post camp July 14, most had moored, their places being killed by others. When these wrestlers were taken out of the camp was the case in all the hospitals and the whole camp: the whole time. The record of that black regiment in the pit of horror called Silbosy transcends in heroism anything done by any charging soldier on the bullet swept and smult field of San Juan, with the inspiring colors streaming in the wind. Out of 456 enlisted men only twenty-four escaped sickness. The sick often went on duty with the well. No man failed; none made excuses. They nursed the sick, they dug graves, they buried the dead, men of the Twenty-four among them. On August 8 the heroic medical officer in charge, the even tempered, nanguine, indefatigable La Garde, who never seemed to sleep, broke down and was attacked with the fever. His loss was of the sort to breed panic, but the same fortitude and devotion were shown by all ranks to the end. The faithful Markley pays this tribute to the men of his command: It is a notable fact that in these forty days not even a murmur was heard from a soldier of the Twenty-fourth Infantry (or officer either). Though discipline was enforced with strictness, not an infraction was made. These men are usually light hearted and are camp in a pleasant way, but this camp was silent; no amusements—nothing to lighten the dead weight on their minds day and night during this long and dreary time. Having no proper cooking utensils, they were even a pleasure and a distraction. But they were bravely and patiently, faithfully doing what they could, these colored soldiers showing unexpected qualities of the highest order." When the day came at last to entrain for Santiago and there embark for home, nine officers and 198 men marched to the cars with the regimental band playing and the colors flying. In the fight at San Juan the Twenty-fourth was in Wikoff's brigade—"this heroic brigade" General J. Ford Kent called it—which lost two commanders, Wikoff and Liscum, and was led to the assault by Lieutenant-Colonel E. P. Ewers of the Ninth Infantry. In view of its display of a higher order of valor in the fever camp at Siboney, is it not fitting to regard the Twenty-fourth as a regiment worthy of a place in that heroic brigade? At a time when a battalion of Negro troops may be sacrificed by a scrach of the pen for the sin of not turning informers, for such is the indictment against the battalion as a whole, it is a duty to recurrent from forgotten records such a battle that of the heroic Twenty-fourth Infantry, in the hope that a precedent will not be set which, if followed, would demoralize the ranks of the Negro Regiments of the United States army. They have distinguished themselves on every field from Port Hudson to Santiago, justifying the invocation of George H. Boker: "Iall them as conrades tried; Fight with them side by side; Never, in field or tent. Scorn the black regiment." WHOLE RACE REALLY ANGRY R. W. Thompson in The Indianapolis Freeman. The Brownville incident, far from being closed, has developed into a running store. Press and public among the Afro-Americans of the country are stirred to their depths, expressions both radical and conservative are heard in shops, homes and on the curbstones, and the tenor is unanimous that the punishment visited upon the colored troops is unnecessarily severe, and that when the facts are known of the cause to which and will be a rehearing of the cause with a terrible judgment that has been hastily down, and based on the ex parte statement of an army officer whose Southern birth and traditions are said to render him unfit to pass justly upon any controversy involving a black man whom the government allows to carry a gun. Not since the overthrow of the Summer Civil Rights Law by the United States Supreme Court, more than twenty years ago, has such a storm of disapproval emanated from the colored people of the land as that which has greeted the order of President Roosevelt discharging without honor an entire battalion of colored troops, embracing, as has already been told in these columns, Companies B, C and D of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, whose brevery at San Juan Hill gives them, in the popular mind, at least, a particular claim upon the generosity of the Chief Executive of the Nation. It so happens that this is the first time in the history of the republic that the power of the President to dismiss enlisted men without trial has been exercised, and it so happens, by a peculiar combination of circumstances, that the blow falls upon men of the desiased race in America. Whatever developments the future may bring out in vindication of the President's drastic action, it cannot be concealed that the Negro people all over the country are angry—very angry—and it is being asserted with a vigor that admits of no doubt as to their earnestness, that, had the announcement been made a day sooner, there would have been a disrespect trump in the colored Republican vote for Congressmen in the States where the Negroes hold the balance of power. The Northern Negro is taking on a starting degree of political independence, and we say that the rice would have shown its sentiments in an improved fashion had it suspected what the administration had up its sleeve in relation to the colored soldiers who had—as they look at it merely defended themselves manfully against the insulting aggressions of the prejudiced Southern whites at Brownsville. THOU, TOO, ROOSEVELT! The Race's Idol Shattered and Overthrown. From The Charleston (WA) War Advocate As General Garlington threatened, the sword has fallen. The retreat has ended in capitulation. Theodore Rosevelt, the idol of the American people, because he is supposed to be honest and just, has made himself the party to the greatest piece of injustice ever enacted by an American President. The third and tenth of these men are guilty, but like a Russian and unlike the perplexed Rosevelt, he has blotted his career with injustice to the poor and innocent. Who are these men that with a pearl and of his head he covers with rhinestones and outcrops from the service of their country? They are men, many of them, who have faithfully served their country for a quarter of a century; men who have followed the flag where honor backed, in America, in Cuba and in the Philippines. Two companies of this battalion charged with a rush to victory at El Cane and first planted the stars and stripes on the captured fort. Many of them have been so long in the army that they have lost the knowledge necessary to lift the life of their comrades. The severity of the sentence smacks of hate and is not punishment, but persecution. These men might have been disgraced by banishment to some far away post or given some other soldierly punishment, but to dame brave, innocent men, as many of these soldiers are, is unbelieved when one thinks of Boose- The blow has fallen, but postuerity will make it strike the record of Roosevelt harder than the brave and innocent man it now falls upon with such annihilating force. We pity the poor soldiers whose career of gallantry ends in dirage, but we pity more our race whose last hope for justice was bound up in Theodore Roosevelt. We have grown callous to such treatment from some quarters. We are used to looking with pity upon the punishment of the innocent without judge or jury. We have learned to scorn the criminals who mix their hate with the blood of their victims and call on the Negroes to scent out crimes and bring the guilty to justice, but Roosevelt was our race's angel and when he smoote us, not the blow but he who gave it dashed all our hopes. Roosevelt has capitulated. The man of blood and iron has a flaw in his armor. Would he have so treated white soldiery so conspicuous for bravery in the service? The order of an investigation of an officer who spoke his mind about Negro soldiers does not mollify the blow, for what the officer said, if he said all he is given credit for, is not half so severe as what the President has done. From the day he signed that order his star began to wane and the Republic drifted from its moorings toward the empire. The Negro people will find it hard to give up this man who believed himself to be a new edition of Abraham Lincoln, but never again will his star give hope in the homes of the humble. By this one act of injustice he has lost the love of ten million citizens. This may be lightly passed over now, but he lives longest whose deeds are just and who in the hour of success despiseth not the poor and humble. Roosevelt, whose physical courage faces lions, and laughs in the cannon's open mouth, lacked moral courage to protect the innocent and give them a "square deal." This will be the verdict of history when prejudice has blotted and died and truth gets a hearing. DESPOTIC AS ANY EMPEROR Roosevelt's Summary Sentence Unpar- alled History. From The George Washington The order issued by President Roosevelt on Tuesday, the 6th of November, disbanding and outlawing as far as he was capable of doing a battalion of the Twenty-fifth United States Infantry, took the whole country by surprise. It was unprecedented in the history of the country, and if it stands will demonstrate that the President of the United States is possessed with power as despotic as any European Emperor. We will not at present take up the question of motive on the part of President Roosevelt, and yet we can not avoid the belief that this order was withheld until the votes had been cast at the elections North, East and West last week. We are confident that if the order had been published a week earlier it would have cost the Republican party several Congressmen. It is impossible that President Roosevelt may be able to justify himself in the eyes of an imperial world, but it is hardly probable. Of course, he will be upheld by the white people of the South as a rule, but this fact will give no evidence of the justness of this drastic measure. It is due to President Roosevelt that he be fully hearked giving a full cordial in this matter. He will certainly have to explain further before the matter ends. In the meantime a petition with a million names should be presented to him requesting the rosemiding or modification of this order that appears on its face to be so unjust. AN OUTRAGEOUS ORDER From The Boston Guardian Where an act is in itself contrary to justice, it is wrong. When in addition it is contrary to all rules of equity it becomes benign. When it is in addition against all sense of fairness and humanity it becomes monstrous. The President's discharge carried with its penalties, which he admitted were extremely severe. His order was conceded to be the severest for a similar offence in the history of our army. But, on the other hand, there were certain exceptions circumstances. The white citizens of Brownsville had given the soldiers great protection for the raid. They had insulted and assaulted the colored soldiers without cause and on account solely of their color. Then there was a special incentive for the soldiers to refuse to betray their comrades because of the great race prejudice in the Texas courts. The military law required that the officers turn over men thought to be guilty to the civil authorities. All impartial authorities knew that informing in such case would mean only unfair trial, but no trial at all, would mean causing a comrade to be lynched, would be, in fact, complicity in murder. The colored soldiers, therefore, had the strongest of motives, if not justification, for refusing to inform. In addition it must be borne in mind that shooting up a pawn, even when it ends with some fatalities, is not uncommon or regarded optimally as so grave an offense in that locality. It must also be admitted that among men of the best standing in the community there prevails a sentiment that condomens as "tattling" as playing the "traitor" as being honorable any "peaching" in cases not so serious for the detected men as this. In fact, it was not a desire to protect the guilty, but a feeling of comradeship that prevented informing. Take into consideration further the well-known fact that "shooting up towns" have occurred often before in the army, that no such penalty had ever been inflicted, that in every other case the officers were held responsible for the cov THE PRICE OF THE HEAD THE HALF-JILLION P AFRO-AMERICAN REALT CAPITAL STOCK $150, SHARES $10.00 EACH, PAR (Full Paid no This Company has no its principal Tranant Clan.

The act becomes inexcessively unfair and brutal. When in addition it is remembered that the army serves the country bravely in many hard-hit places, in these men had saved the life in battle of the very man who now disregards them, the order of President Roosevelt stands out as outrageous, as monstrous. A PARALLEL CASE. How One Editor Brings the Matter Home to His Readers. Suppose in Seattle a score or more colored men should blow up the Federal Government building and commit other depressions, but in doing so they so cleverly covered up their tracks as to make it impossible for the officers of the law to put their hands on the actual criminals, though they were absolutely certain Negroes did it. Then suppose the government would issue an ultimatum to the Negro inhabitants that unless they divulged the names of the criminals all of them would be exiled from their native land. How eminently unfair it would be to the thousand and one innocent Negroes who were at their homes sleep when the act was committed! If you see the point in this, then it is a parallel situation to an overwhelming majority of the battalion the President has ordered dishonorably discharged. But a few days ago and the world denounce the Atlanta riots for the wilful killing of harmless and innocent Negroes because a half a dozen criminal Negroes had attempted outrages, and yet in a milder form President Roosevelt is doing exactly what the Atlanta riots did, sacrificing the innocent for the acts of the criminals. Let us hope that our beloved President is not reasoning along the lines of "All Coons Look Alike to Me," and if you cannot fasten a crime on one, another will do as well. GOT WHAT HE WANTED. Roosevelt Was Greedy for Southern Excomplains When a mob of white soldiers from Fort Walla Walla stormed a jail a few years ago and lynched a prisoner charged with numbering a soldier, the entire garrison was not dishonorably discharged, but the War Department put the responsibility where it once belonged and has always belonged, 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. In the Walla Walla case it was the officer who was made to suffer, not for the crime of the soldiers, but, for his own rem垦ness 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 pretense of calling to account the officers who have never before escaped responsibility, discipline in the army will be come a sham and the "square deal" something like a byword. The plain object of this whole cowardly matter was to placate the South at the expense of the Negro soldier. A New Orleans paper says the dishonorable discharge of the Negro soldiers was the bravest act of Roosevelt's life. That was the sort of praise the President sought and he got it. A SOLDIER'S VIEW. 25th Infantry More Innocent Than Roosevelt's Son War. To the Editor of the New York AGE: In the late Spanish-American War it became necessary to establish a camp for yellow fever patients of the United States army, which soon became overcrowded, and men died like sheep for lack of attendance. At this emergency, a call was made upon a regiment of Negro soldiers for volunteers to go into this yellow death and help save the lives of the stricken and dying white men. Instead of a few volunteers, every man of the regiment stepped to the front, and in a brief time they were swinging on their road to the camp of death, singing their devotional hymns as the Indians were wont to chant their death songs. World war II brought a battle of the people followed this example of matchless heroism. A few brief years later a battle of these dusky heroes was stalled in loyal Texas, some of whose sons had been nursed back to life, but the enemy had been killed in the attack of kicks, crushes and abuse, time they bore with and Non-Assessable) legal object the better hot operation for a ported of a Munsey-Wilson (New York) posted Thomas D.

In the ensuing conflict was hurt—this time not the oppressors. At a very recent period persons wearing the uniform States were refused access to the military; and immediately the cory of the great Department invoked, and the President tates contributes one hundred his private purse to have treated and abused, not both or done to protect in their corm of the United Sta' protect themselves, and a machinery of the United, work to punish them for re-ons shown to the uniform States.

As it was expected, he to his antecedents. After the finding of provocations that made him had come, he set himself to find o had dared to resent these insults at rages, but failed to do so. It has tofore been considered an one of the est axioms in law that no one can incriminate himself, and would have also, similarly, to these men declined to do so. It has come to be somewhat believed that a in bed and sleep, a mile or more from occurrence at a given time, is not qual. to testify thereto. The situation then were by law protected from themselves and the large number who w not concerned, were incapacitated by sence from knowing anything about it, as they stated. With these 170 men on lie there was in the same case a white, who were in actual charge of these men, but who were equally unable to testify for the same cause—absence which operated against the Negro. Between these whites and blacks in the army, the officers could be noncerely drawn, yet the officers are not the Negro is punished. It has been considered better that one hundred guilty should escape than one innocent suffer. The gentleman from South Carolina Georgia reads it: "Better that 170 innocent suffer the day after that election, the Persons of the United States, the exponent of the 'square deal,' gives it his personal and official sanction. The principle of betraying one's comrade is not taught at West little if not many, but men were not condemned by their officers standing by their rights in defense of each other. It is not so long ago that some officers of the law were rather roughly handled in Boston by some Harvard students. It is alleged that a son of the President of the states was in the party, though not participant in the war, but was not absent in bed, but in a position, and know what went on, and who was concerned with the President issued an order to his son either to tell all he could "reasonably have known," or he would take him out of college, and never allow him to enter that or any other college in the future, it escaped him. To be consistent, this he should have done. The brave battalion of the Twenty-fifth U. S. Infantry was no less brave in their stand against being made snacks, spies and informers than when serving in Cuba, and are as much entitled to praise for one as the other. Deep in the bottom of the heart one, one, no matter how personally prejudiced, admitted true manhood, in respect for these men, could better be a dishonor on manner than on The way is now clear to eliminate all Negroes, from the United States army; it only needs for communities to sit up and use them to get the people in whose vicinity they are lost. Knocks and abuses them until they turn in and defend themselves by hurting some of their persecutors; then send Colonel Gaston Jackson, Carolina Georgia, to "investigate and report" order; then follow, as soon as election is over, the committee complained of. In this way, before President Roosevelt's time is out, the white colored contingent can be gotten rid of and must be taken. No other President would suit. A Negro regiment is said to have brought the Rough Itiders out of a very critical position. It is to be hoped that the President and the people feel that they have now got even for it by this disheonomable discharge.

Noten. $5.00 TO DEFEND SOLDIERS Dr. Wheatland Disguusted With the Republican Party. To the Editor of the New York Ack: Enclosed find a check for five dollars which please add to the fund for the defense of the outraged soldiers of the 25th U. S. Infantry. I cannot understand this action on the part of the President. Any man who would talk about a "square deal," and then do a thing like that is either a hypocrite or poorly advised. I hardly think the former, on account of the things he did before he became President (presenting his shabby article he published in a magazine lecturing on the valor of the colored soldiers who has saved his life at San Juan Hill). I suspect there is "a coon in the woodpile" and he must be smoked out. To my mind, the principal cause of the colored people's unfortunate position to day is their slavish and blind adherence to the Republican party, forgetting "hat" the men who made the party gorgeous from being removed by time and death from their places are men with different and in their ideals. Nowadays no man is a Republican because he loves the Negro any more than another man joins the Democratic party because he hates bin; to-day you will find as rabid Negro haters in the Republican party as out of it. They simply keep silent because it answers "hat" the Negro do so. Without the aid of the Negro the Negro have no opportunity to make money. Nowadays so many votes to be used in the effort to control the government and roop the rewards thereof. As things are now it matters not to us whether this government is Republican or Democratic, for we certainly could not be subjected to more administration under a Democratic administration than we have. What the Negro needs above all things is to learn the hypnotic influence of the ten letters of the Republican. Until he wakes up and sees things as they are he will never get a man's chance in this country. I hope the fund will be ample and sufficient to meet the requirements of the occasion. VETRUS MARGUS F.

T., November 10.—Washington Ballinger, a Washington newspaper correspondent, last night filed charges before the Senatorial Indian Committee against Tams Bibby, chairman, and W. Bould of the Dawes Commission. Ballinger told officials of the Commission were deliberately responsible for the wrongful enrollment as Negro freedmen of about 2,000 persons of mixed Negro and Indian blood in the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations. The freedmen got only forty acres of land and participation in tribal funds allowed Indian citizens. Ballinger told the committee that he desired the enactment of a mandatory law compelling the Dawes Commission to give these persons their full rights on the Tames Bixby said that the complaining party would appeal to the authorities in Washington. The charges contain the statement that Reall left the office of Bixby and held employment for a time with a land firm at South McAlester, giving this firm inside information that was used against Reall's clients' clients, and that, afterward, Reall refused this position under Bixby. Both Bixby and Reall deny all accusations. THE AGE IN CHARLESTON. Coptes of the New York Age can be short street, *C* streets, B, C. ORITUARY Died Sunday, November 18, 1966 Mary A.
