Olicans' Treathery rages Loyal Afro- American Voters Joint to Democratic Candidate for Mayor Will Be Probably Organised Ocracoe, November 22.—Furdinand L. Arnott, the Afro-American Assistant state Attorney, who, according to the terms, was elected judge of the new legal court at the recent election, has unsanctioned the canvassing board. election returns gave Barnett a plurality of 469, but the official count of the thirty-five wards of the city, which was completed to-day, shows that Thomas B. Lentley, Democrat, was elected by a plurality of 304. Barnett was the only Republican defeated for a city office at the election. The Republican seem to have been even more dismayed than the Democrat by the election of Barnett, and no doubt the Republican election officers cheerfully assisted the Democratic officers in counting him out. The Afro-Americanes are as raw as a man and openly threaten republicans. In view of the stand the Democratic mayor, Mr. Dune, has taken in the Tillman mans, many are advocating a bolt to the local Democratic party. There is talk of a contest. Special Correspondence of The Acm. Ocracoe, Ill., November 28.—The alternating hopes and fears of Chicago and the state are evident in the election of F. L. Barnett to the municipal court continue. As the Official count of the returns has progressed this small majority of 600 votes has standily diminished to the vanishing point, and to-day his Democratic opponent is several hundred votes ahead. Those who have been watching the count and have analysed the character and the opposition vote certain but little doubt of the ultimate and adverse result. It is impossible to describe the general feeling of disgust and resentment among the Afro-American people over this election and the result. It would be difficult to find an Afro-American man or woman in this city who does not feel intensely on this subject and who is not ready to join any movement to "get even." If the official count the candidate for judge loses out there will be set in motion some organized effort for political revenge. So far as the Afro-American votes are concerned the defeat of their candidate on the Republican ticket is going to have an important bearing in future elections in this city. The important things to be borne in mind are these. In the strong candidate was elected by an overwhelming majority, except the Afro-American candidate for judge. In the strong African precincts and wards where each Republican candidate got the maximum Republican votes, the Afro-American candidate was merically "cut," running from 1,500 to 3,000 votes behind other Republican candidates. In the strong Democratic wards where the Afro-American candidate was only the "emal opposition party vote. (4) The character and size of the Republican vote against the Afro-American Republican candidate lends color, to the charge that there was some sort of secret understanding on the part of some of the candidates for the election, for daring to aspire for high political honors. Your correspondent has been told by those who are better posted in such matters that if the present feeling of the Afro-American people lasts it will be in their power to issue a bill for the right to immigrate Spring. The Afro-American vote in the city is about 25,000. Independence talk just now is strong and loud. Even the men who are in politics as a bread and butter occupation have become surprisingly loud and frank in their arowvals to "get even." Already there are schemes of schemes being for reward in the second ward of the city, where live most of the Afro-American statements, they are planning an "Independence League" for the purpose of nominating and voting for an Afro-American for Alderman. This is to be done not with the hope, please help him, but with the pleasure of hosting the Republic who cannot be elected without the aid of the Afro-American voters in this ward. Whatever may be the outcome, the situation is interesting and has in it the possibilities of far-reaching importance. Certain it is that the Afro-American voters in Chicago have received a rude shock by the news that they are not friends." They did their full part in helping to pile up monumental majors for every white Republican candidate on the ticket. They had no suspicion of treachery. While they were hustling to bring every available Afro-American to the polls to vote straight and strong for every white Republican, they had no idea who would win. They were by the thousands, even including candidates who were relying on the Afro-American vote for their election, "cutting the life out of the—Nigger." It may be of some benefit to know now, rather than later on, that in some places at least Republicans are beginning to hold Democratic notions about the Afro-American vote can be brought about, that any politician will not be indicated always merely by our color. The muchword of the day is to put more thought; and less party—more race pride and race interest and less regularity—in your vote, if the franchise is present and protected for our advanced protection. The day is quite upon us when an Afro-American may be a good citizen and still not be a good party man. The Afro-Americans do not get enough of the "spoil," or of party protection, out of their politics to warrant them in voting for every troner-wearing biped with a party label. It is time for them to be a party label, quite as many justice loving Democrats as there are Negro-hating Republicans. At last our men folks are beginning to feel that way in Chicago. To be sure, talk is cheap and we have a way of forgetting our righteous indignation when next election day comes around. We will take note and report how it turns out in Chicago. EANNIE BARRIER WILLIAMS. FELIX ADLER SAYS RACE NEEDS WHITE LEADERSHIP And That Nation Should Subdivide Our Southern Schools. Felix Adler of the Ethical Culture Society spoke at Carnegie Hall Sunday morning on the race problem. The undiscriminating cries of prejudiced, people thought Dr. Adler, should be disregarded, whether heard in the question or answered was one primarily for Southerners. Their voices should carry the most influence in the discussion. They were the representatives of the section most venerated in experience of the black race and most directly concerned in its destiny. With the South in the lead, all the country, and the right, was subject to the duty of aiding in its solution, for the country in all its parts was inevitably involved in the solution. "The best white students of the problem and the best Negro students fortunately are more and more in agreement on the solution of the Negro question. Formerly there is the question of leadership. The strongest opponents by the blacks under white leaders." The natural leadership, the speaker maintained, lay in the man with thousands of years of civilization behind him. There was a place for Afro-American leaders as well, he added. Their place was nearer the Afro-American, and their task was to cultivate and maintain their fellow Follow white leadership. There were to-day, Dr. Adler, many young Afro-American leaving the higher schools, men of highly cultured mind and not seldom of artistic or poetic temperament—they were lonely figures, cut off from white companionship, and equally apart from their own race. The other men are not lonely, not alone. They are tied by strong bonds to the weak. They have a mission. Every young Negro who leaves college inspired by the cultured person's desire to be of use has this advantage over the white graduate—he cannot feel any doubt as to where his duty leads. It leads him among his own peers. In the question of social equality and the intermarriage of races Dr. Adler held that segregation now was imperative. The Afro-American leaders, said he, are the strongest opponents of intermarriage. They were convinced that it would be harmful to the Afro-American. Racial separation, he pointed out, need not preclude the best cooperation of the two races. "Why should not the Nation subsidize the Negro schools of the South?" inquired Dr. Adler. "Year after year the heads of the great colored schools have to come North and beseech the charity of individuals. Eight million Negroes cannot be carried back to Africa; they must stay here—it is their country, too. So their welfare and progress involve the welfare and progress of the whole country. The Negro schools are the best and promises to become more and more. There is growing need of skilled labor. The Negro must supply it. The need of Negro training is immediate. Why should not the Government that commenced him help him now?" I. B. P. O. OF ELKS HARD HIT IN GEORGIA COURTS But Will Make Appeal to State Supreme Court. MAYON, Ga., November 22, - Judge A. L. Miller, presiding for, Judge W. H. Pelton, of Bibb superior court, last week rendered a final decision injunction proceedings of Macon lodge Order of Elks against T. H. Thomas, Pete Worthy and a score of other Afro-Americans in this case, title, name and insignia "Improved, Renewal and Protective Order of Elks of the World," or any similar name, in any colored order in Bibb county, or within the State of Georgia. The Afro-Americans are restrained from using the badge or any semblance thereof in any manner, in concession with any body, order or organization. Judge Miller's decree was a sweeping victory for the Macon lodge of Elks, and the judge who was entered into several months ago to prohibit the Afro-Americans from organizing here. Wide interest has been manifested. The Afro-Americans will appeal the case and make their final fight in the State supreme court. CRIMINAL WAIVED RIGHTS TO GET A LEGAL HANDING Had Himself Struggle Up at Once to Avoid Lynching. DALLA, Texas, November 21.—Dick Garrett, the Afro-American, who four days ago killed Dr. M. Paul, of Centre, a police man who attempted to arrest him, pleaded guilty, was convicted, sentenced to death, waived all rights under the law and was legally hung all inside of two hours to-day. The police who had been hurtled to prevent a threatened lynching to-tight wrist home. There was no disorder at the hanging, which took place in the presence of a large crowd. NEW YORK, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1906. His Sympathy Given for His Own Struggle for Liberty And a Strong Believer in Industrial Education—Instances When He Benefitted Race A representative audience gathered in Carnegie Hall on Wednesday night of last week to do honor to the memory of Carl Schurz. Such a crowd turned out that hundreds were unable to attend the elaborate people were standing up. It had the appearance of one of the monster mass meetings often held there in campaigns. Almost every organization with which Mr. Schurz was in sympathy was represented. The music was furnished by the lead of Walter Damrosch, and by the Arion Society and the German Liederkanz. Carl Schurz was enologed and his memory extolled by a distinguished company of speakers. Joseph H. Chonate acted as chairman, and President Cleveland, President Elliott of Harvard, Prof. Eugene Kubenmann of the University of Breslau, Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte, Prof. Hermann Schumacher of Brown, and Booker T. Washington, all of whom made speeches. Richard Watson Glider read a final poem. Dr. Washington's address was as follows: "The details of the life and deeds of the late Hon. Carl Schurz are so well known as to call for no rectal here. The most and best that can be done at this time is to call attention to the lessons gleaned from his life and the permanent service rendered by him to the Indian and Negroes. My first impression of the late Hon. Carl Schurz was received when I was a student at the Hampton Institute in Virginia. He came to Hampton when Secretary of the Interior under President Hayes to inspect the work being done by General Armstrong to educate the Indians and to note the progress of the Negro students. During that visit his striking and magnificent personality, combined with his deep moral earnestness and strength of intellect, left in my mind a picture which has an impact that increased in perfection as I came to know Mr. Schurz in later years. "The impression made upon a poor student of another race—not long out of slavery—by such a superb, refined and unselfish personality, is something which I cannot easily describe. As he spoke of his day of his visit to Hampton there was a tone of deep sincerity and sympathy, mingled with a degree of frankness and insight into the real condition and needs of the two races, which made it easy to note that a great and extraordinary soul was speaking to us. He had a heart overflowing with sympathy for the two most important members of his himself had known what it meant to be oppressed and to struggle against odds toward freedom. It is easier, however, from many points of view, to sympathize with a people or a race that has had an unfortunate start in life than it is to be frank and at the same time just—that is, to be a person who will permanently be, regardless of whether words, or acts please or displease for the moment. As Mr. Schurz stood before the Hampton students it was easy to discern that he was a man who was able to lift himself out of a maiming and depressing atmosphere of racial and sectional animosity, and that was a man who wanted to see absolute justice done to the Indians, the Negro, and to the Southern white man. "At the time when Mr. Schurz entered President Hayes' cabinet, it was popular to proclaim the doctrine that the only good Indian was a dead Indian, and to profess the belief that the Indian was incapable of receiving civilization. Now that the Indian was plundered of his lands, his rations, and was being used as the tool in a large degree to further the ends of many unscrupulous schemers. It was easier to shoot an Indian than to civilize him. It was easier to fight for freedom than work for the freedman; easier to kick or down him than to life him up. When the Nebraska race was being plundered and deceived in reference to its vote. Not only this, when Mr. Schurz entered President Hayes' cabinet, the Nebraska was being in a large degree used as the tool of demagogues, and at the same time many influences were at work to alienate the black and white races at the South recorders of the persecution of the Nebraska. Mr. Schurz took the weight of his name and forcible personality, and few men in private or public life did more to clear the atmosphere and put all sections of our country amply and unselfishly at work for the highest welfare of the black and red race than was true of him. Mr. Schurz was among the first to seize the Indian was to be permanently helped, to become an independent and willing producer, rather than an irresponsible recipient of the county of the general government. Hence, he was among the first to encourage agricultural and other forms of industrial education for the Indians. "He was among the first both in his official capacity and as a private citizen. He was the first to attempt to give industrial training to the Indian on a large and systematic acile. "I have said that he saw clearly into the needs and conditions of my race and its relations to the white race. Time permits only three illustrations of this statement. One is found in his report to President Johnson in 1865. A second is an article printed in McOliver's Magazine in 1903, under the title, "Can the south kill the north?" The third illustration of the unity of his views was brought out a few months before his death when a conference of the leaders of the Negro race was being held in this building when our good friend, Mr. Andrew Carnegie, kindly brought him into that conference. None will forget it, and when he met it were, into a new world while there came from his lips such words of advice, caution and encouragement as only he could speak. "But he has passed from earth. My race, the Indian race, American life as a whole seem the power. There never was a man when such men were more needless than one such great life encourages and makes possible in time many additional characters of like strength and helpfulness. I do not despair. One great life makes possible many great lives. We need at present, as never before, it seems to me, when the question of races is occupying the minds of men of clear, hard soldier been done men of clear, calm view and courageous conviction. "I do not grow discouraged as to present conditions nor as to the future. It is good to be permitted to live in an age when great, serious and perplexing problems are to be solved. It is good to live in an age when unfortunate and backward races are to be helped, when great, serious and perplexing problems are to be met and solved. For my part, I would interest in living in an age when there were no weak parts of the human family to be helped, no wrongs to be righted. Men grow strong in proportion as they reach down and help others up. The farther down they reach in assisting and encouraging of backward and unpopular races, the greater strength they do gather. All this is borne out in the character of men in the evening. Without opression, without a temptation to grapple with great questions, such a great character could not have been produced. It required the white heat of trouble to forge such a man. "Because Carl Schurz lived, the Germans in America are stronger and greater. Because he lived, my race is the richer, more confident and encouraged. The Indian race and my race are proud that they had the privilege of claiming their land and a great spirit as Carl Shurz. The German race and my race assist an unfavored group. The usefulness of a great man cannot be limited by race, or color, or even national boundaries. Because of the friendship of such a soul, every Negro is the more proud of his social connections. For myself, I was never more proud of being a Negro than I am to day. If I had the privilege of world and the Great Spirit should ask me to choose the color and the race with which to cloth my spirit. I would answer. Make me an American Negro." Mr. Schurz never sought the popular side of any question; nor did he seek the popular race. One word embodied his whole philosophy of life: that word was "Duty." Because he lived, we shall live more grudely, more richly. His spirit is now moving among us, and will continue to strengthen, to guide and encourage us now and ever more." WATKINS ELECTED CAPTAIN OF VERMONT'S*ELEVEN Afro-American Athlete Made Bettilian Record This Fall. AMANY, November 26. Fenwick H. Watkins of Burlington has been elected captain of the University of Vermont football team for next season. This is the first time in the history of athletes at the institution that an Afro-American has been offered the captaincy of an athletic team. Watkins was graduated in 1905 from the Burlington high school, where he established a record as being one of the best all-round athletes ever produced by the preparatory schools of the State. He is a sophomore at the University of Vermont and this fall played an unusually fast game, and was credited with many long runs and touchdowns. Watkins is one of the most popular men in the university. OKLAHOMA ATS SAY Think State's Adoption of U. S. Constitution blocks the Way. GUTHRIER, Okla., November 25.—Strrained relations among Democratic leaders cover the State's rights question developed into a personal war of words between Judge Ledbetter, the State's rights leader, and J. A. Baker, who objected to Ledbetter referring to him as a friend. Judge O. R. Pegan raised the point that the adoption of the United States Constitution into the Oklahoma Constitution, as required by the enabling act, blocks all steps toward disfranchising the Afro-American. Many are wondering why this opinion is in Oklahoma, it is not likewise competent in the Southern disfranchising States. Afro-American Servants Retire With Hopar. Quartermaster Sergt. Pauchel Conley, of the Ninth Cavalry and Quartermaster Sergt. Cornelia Fuller, of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, both Afro-Americans, have been retired on three-quarter pay, which in their cases, amounts to $30 a month each. Both of the men have been in the service thirty years, and went through campaigns against the Indians, took part in the battle of Santiago, and saw service in the Phillipines. Warmly to Speak in Newark. At the main meeting of the Newark Forum on December 5 J. Douglas Wetmore and other well-known speakers will deliver addresses. On Wednesday night of last week the Regular Colored Republican organization of the 9th Assembly district, Dr. P. A. Johnson, leader, made an audacious experiment. Although the next election is a year off, and the enthusiasm—what little there was—from the last election had altogether evaporated, yet the organisation ventured to call a political mass meeting. The result not only vindicated but surpassed their hopes, for the meeting was by universal testimony, pronounced to be the finest ever held in the district. The prayers of the graffers for rain were answered, for the weather was exasperable. The graffers were also busy—it is said by orders from the powers that be—trying to keep men away from the meeting; but the only men they could keep away were precisely the kind the hoodlums and adventurers who have been heretofore lured with a glass of beer to pack political meetings in order to make a showing before unisophisticated white leaders. The organization wisely concluded to serve neither beer nor cigars, but to use only the legitimate attractions of good speakers and a noble cause. As a result, the organization became asterictic of previous political meetings in the district, was conspicuous by its absence. The character of the audience of over two hundred was enough to make the heart of every race-loving man exult. Never has such an intelligent, orderly and medically gifted man gathered in a medically gifted Men who had never before taken an interest in politics were there, and drawn by Dr. Johnson's name and the cause led by him. For three hours they sat and listened to the speakers with intelligent attention, responding enthusiastically to every appeal and question. The three hours went out, although there was a saloon within twenty feet of them. Such are the men whom the organization is proud to have rallied around it. Such me, can be neither bought nor borne, and will inevitably exercise an independent influence in the next primaries and election. The first speaker was Earle R. Lighthorne, the eloquent young lawyer. To him was entrusted the charge of reviewing the organization's action in impenching and expelling the former Leader and electing Dr. Johnson in his stead. Mr. Lightorne, a graduate of the course and accurate, but very interesting, the hearty applause which punctuated his narrative proved that the organization's acts have the full endorsement of the people of the district. Mr. James S. Sheen, one of the most prominent men in the district spot next, has been beyond doubt, he said, at the high order of intelligence relied in the faces of his audience, which was of a higher class than any audience he had ever addressed on a similar occasion. He assured the organization of his sympathy and support until the temperature of a certain机动ously eline falls to 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The next speaker was the Leader, Dr. Johnson, who received a touching aviation. The audience sprang to its feet and cheered enthusiastically for several minutes. He cheekily urged the need to recognize Americans if they ever expect to get respect and recognition in the Nation. Attorney J. Douglas Wetmore, who caused a "Jim Crow" street car law to be declared unconstitutional by the Florida Supreme Court—the only time such a thing has been seen in the South. He was one of the men of the race, made, as he always makes a great bit with the crowd. He too, had to congratulate the audience on its unexpectedly fine and intelligent appearance. The most striking part of his speech was that in which he told of a talk he had given to the audience, most of the audience had the misfortune of voting for on November 6 as the Republican candidate in that district for Congress. According to Mr. Wetmore, Mr. Leifer said, in discussing the Afro-American soldiers discharged without honor from the army, "Well, haven't you seen down to Brooksville looking for social equality, and that's what we white men, North and South, won't stand for." "If we'd only known that before election" shunted the audience regretfully. One of the speakers had been compelled to mention President Roosevelt's name, which he did not mention for a round 6 of applause in among Afro-Americans, but this time it was received with a dead silence more impressive than bliss. The following resolutions, introduced by Mr. R. L. Stokes of the Ank, were unanimously passed by a standing vote. President Roosevelt has discharged with dismember from the United States Army three companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, many of whom the President himself confesses to have been abl Whereas, the Action of Secretary of War Taft to inadvertently in retracting his order summed up by the actions of General Roosevelt is resolved to perish, against the protest of the aroused conscience of the north and of the Negro people, in persecution and in inadherent race; therefore be it Resolved. By the Regular, Colored Republican Organization of the Ninth Assembly district of New York, that we commute with our allies in the Ninth Assembly's adequate injustice; and it be further Resolved. That we hereby give expression to our pain that the one man our race has loved best since Lincoln, has betrayed us; and Resolved. That we shall keep continuation in mind the fact that our ballots are our only weapons, and that we are determined to win. We have determined to chastise those who despitely use us. Rev. C. Leroy Butler, one of the members of the organization's executive committee, made a witty and impressive speech, declaring his absolute confidence in Dr. Johnson and the men supporting him. He was also greatly pleased with Mr. Wetmore's speech, and invited him to move into the 9th Assembly district and run for the Assembly. The invitation was received very carefully. The last speaker was Melvin J. Chisum, a former leader in the old 11th Assembly district, and now leader in the 11st. He made a very amusing and very potent appeal to the men to stand by the organization, Dr. Johnson and his associates, whom he described as clean, true and courageous men. Mr. Chisum is very popular among the audience. Many of the audience afterwards declared their belief that the meeting opened a new era in Afro-American politics in New York city. CARNEGIE HAS HIS SHOES MADE AT TUSKEGEE Has Just Ordered Two Pairs, Says Washington. Dr. Booker T. Washington, in a talk last night at the Church of the Paternity, Central Park West and Seventy-fifth Avenue, gave a visit to the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama he ordered a pair of shoes from the shoe department conducted there by the students. "And he liked them so well when I saw him not long ago," went on the shoe department that now he has ordered two more pairs. The church was filled by 7:30 o'clock, a half hour before the services were due to begin. Chairs were placed in front and between the rows of benches for the people that crowded into the church. The church was filled by 7:30 o'clock. The "Negro Problem." Rev. Frank Oliver Hall asked that a collection be taken up for the Tuskegee Institute. VARDAMAN ENDORSE MORGAN'S PLEA FOR WHITE MAN'S PARTY Would Concede anything for Repeal of the 15th Amendment. JACKSON, Miss., November 25—Governor Vardaman stated to today that he was gratified to see such men as Senator Morgan declaring that the Democratic party was and had always been a white man's party. "If I should be permitted to dictate the policy of the party so far as the South is concerned, he said, would consider for itself any attempt the would only come to the rescue of the South and help us repeal the 15th and modify the 14th amendment. Understanding the real nature of the Negro, it is incumbent upon us to take the lead." TILLMAN NOT TO SPEAK IN CLEVELAND-DATE CANCELLED Dr. Gunanulus of Chicago Engaged in His Stead. CLEVELAND, O. November 26. "Pitchfork" Ben Tillman has been given a rude jolt by Cleveland school teachers and as a result the firecracker of the southwest is in this教室 on December 19, as scheduled in the lecture course. Solomon Weimer, assistant principal of Central high school, said yesterday that Tillman's engagement had been cancelled and that another lecturer will appear in his place. "We thought under the circumstances," said Mr. Weimer yesterday, "that we were doing a wise thing in cunning the lecture because of the attitude assumed by some of the people of Cleveland. We have no desire to do anything which would conflict with their wishes." The lecturer to take lecture place will be F. W. Gunanulus of Chicago, who will appear Tuesday evening, December 11, instead of December 19, which was the announced for Tillman's appearance here. Hon. Harry C. Smith, of The Gazette, was active in this squashing of Tillman. AFRO-AMERICAN COP KILLED FOR ARRESTING WHITE MAN Small Race Riot Ends Fatally in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh, November 25.—Policeman James Butler, an Afro-American, is dying in St. Francis's hospital as the result of a race riot, precipitated by his attempt to arrest a white man early this morning. The officer went into a Chinese restaurant at 423rd street and Penn avenue, about 50 blocks, and arrested John Purcell, a city fireman in conduct. When several white men remonstrated with him Butler drew his revolver and was promptly knocked down. Purcell escaped, and the white men continued to assault Butler. After calling for help several times, Butler jumped up and swinging his club about his head made a rush for the white men. Several Afro-American men ran to his aid, and a fierce battle with them were quickly joined by allies, and in a few minutes a small battle was waging. A riot call brought the police to the scene and the disorder was quelled. About a dozen arrests were made. Leaves Tuskenger 233,000 Cincinnati, November 5.—By the will of Mrs. Lucatella J. Tilton, which was pro- bated here last week, Tuskegee Institute gets $20,000. Hampton Institute is also among the legates. The greater part of the estate, which amounts to more $225,000, is left to charitable institu- tions. Special Correspondence of The Am- WASHINGTON, D. C., November 27- President Roosevelt reached the White House last night from Panama, and this morning was promptly at his desk in the executive offices, reviewing among other matters the protests which have delegated him from all parts of the country in pro- test against the discharge, without be- cause of the companies of the 20th Infanty, U. S. A. The President received this morning by appointment, as his first visitors in this matter, Hon. Charles W. Anderson; Collector of Internal Revenue for the Second District of New York, and Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary to Dr. Booher T. Washington, who called in behalf of the innocent members of the three companies. So interested was the President in the case of the case, the President he kept Vice-President Fulbranks and Senator Cullom, who had called to pay their respects, and his Cabinet in waiting while he discussed his action in disbanding the three companies. Dr. Washington, it will be remembered, in the Tug Away two weeks ago, sought to stay the President's action in punishing the innocent members of the three companies, and Missouri, Anderson and Washington went over the same arguments with the President. The Washington correspondent of The New York Times to night telegraph his paper as follows regarding the visit, which is regarded as being especially important, in standing for the non-punishment of the innocent men of the companies: "A mass of letters and telegraphs protesting against his action awaited the President upon his arrival in his office at 10 o'clock this morning. These he glanced through. He had hardly disguised himself as a lawyer, and Charles W. Anderson, the Collector of Internal Revenue in New York, and Emmett J. Scott, private secretary to Booker T. Washington, were waiting to see him about the case of the recently discharged soldiers. His meeting was due at that time, but the President showed his willingness to hear anything that tended to exculpate the soldiers by postponing the meeting and keeping the Cabinet officers waiting for half an hour while he listened to the pleas of Anderson and Scott. Mr. Scott came on behalf of his company, and instructed him to place before the President an argument in favor of the infantrymen. Mr. Washington had written out a memorandum on the subject, not for Mr. Scott to present to the President, but for his own guidance in making the statement. He stuck closely to the lines of this memorandum in talking to the memorandum to anybody or give any idea of its contents. "When Mr. Anderson was asked for information concerning the interview he declined to give it, saying: 'This whole thing is thin ice, and as I weigh 220 pounds, I can't afford to do too much skating.' Anderson is a friend of Mr. Washington. "While neither man would discuss the interview, it is known that they obtained no other concession from the President than his promise that he will receive any new evidence. Further deductions by other persons from the evidence, which has already been placed before him he will not consider. Both Mr. Anderson and Mr. Scott are held in custody by the President, and it is felt by other officials that discharge of the troops that if protests were of avail these men would have succeeded in at least softening somewhat the order of absolute dismissal." SOLDIERS DISMISSED; THEIR ENTIRE INNOCENCE ASSERTED Major Pearce Calla Them Best Battalion in U. S. Army. El. Reno, Okla., November 26.—"Here goes the last of the best disciplined, best behaved and best regulated battalion in the United States Army," said Major Penrose to Glickhier Stewart, who is investigating the discharge of Company 1 of the Tenth Infantry, assisted by Counselor E. T. Barbour, the well-known Elm Reno Lawyer. The last man of Company D received his discharge as this was said. "Is that statement for publication?" was asked him. "It certainly, and I will touch for it anywhere, backed by my army experience." Capt. Lyons had his men good-by, tears streaming down his face as he shook each hand, the soldiers, hardened veterans who have faced death, on battlefields, sobbing as they looked last, with no doubt, upon the best beloved offender. I would have sent that Private New York to the Army with a pixel on the screen. I had the job of in a boat the helicopter of the Navy Grande. Leconboug controlled the sturcte; five soldiers were with me; "This is a white man's wrestle, and you know you see a white man, in the walkway with ladies get off the sturcte and 'walk in the street'; this man, female, were offered the wrestle and the sturcte matched up to get rid of him; then on the day in question which were used by Major Furone and carried out by Capt. Mackin, officer of the day, to bring in all men out on passes by 4 o'clock. Heavy man was in but three. When the dying began, Major Penrose and every man of long standing who can fight, may reports from the firing was of mixed arms; from the time of the sound of arms by. Musician Robinson to roll call, was about sight, minutes. He told the crew the fire was still going on. The orders issued by Major Penrose were for Company C to take position of defense on the walls of the fort, B to form a skirmish line, supported by D. Ha thought, as well as the men and other officers, that the fort was being attacked. The officers' reports show that the only gun racks broken open were broken upon orders of Major Penrose in the quarters of Company C. As confusion reigned in the supposed attack on the fort, Major Penrose ordered the men to get the guns quickly and fall in line, if the fort was not attacked. Capt. Machil's report after the 11 o'clock patrol of the outside guard shows everything quiet in the quarters and no one around. Citizens claim that they saw eight men with kbaki uniforms and rifles—the uniform worn in Brownville by many officers of the Government, deputies and some citizens. When Companies C and D deployed through the town they saw citizens with rifles whom the Mayor said were policemen when investigated. The officer picked up discharged Government cartridges in the streets. Any number of them can be secured from target practice fields, soldiers, etc. The commission secured over fifty. Inspectors Blackstone and Garlington stated on assumption that the men were guilty and restricted them to questions of identity of soldiers doing the supposed shooting, without going into facts. They only examined a handful of men. The officers all say that 95 per cent of the men could have known nothing of the identity, even if six or eight did do the shooting, which has not been proved. Six sergeants are coming to Washington, with Gleicher Stewart, via Chicago and New York. They are sending Sanders, of Company B, who took Col. Roosevelt to his company in Cube on the morning of black troops shared their hard tack with the Rough Riders; Sarges. Fraser, with a fine record in the Philippines, and Harris, recommended for an honor medal for bravery. The facts developed show the soldiers were in no conspiracy to keep the truth back, were anxious to freely tell all they knew, but were denied opportunity by Gem. Garlington. The only conspiracy was that of the citizens of Brownville to drive the Afro-American troops on the Turtle Island. The Afro-American troops call all the facts, including the testimony of one of the guards that five civilians ran from under the wall of the fort. The next evening an attempt was made to break open the fort magazine house and the patrol guard could have shot the participants, but had orders not to do so, and to fall back to the parade grounds and report, which was done. The soldiers have all left for their homes, but the New York and Philadelphia, where committees will look after them and secure positions for them until the order is revoked by the President, which will likely be done or they are ordered re-enlisted by Congress. ROOSEVELT DISCUSSES SOLDIERS IN FIRST CABINET MEETING No Information as to What Was Said There. WASHINGTON, November 28.—The President's trip and the matter of the discharge of the Afro-American soldiers were the principal subjects under discussion at the Cabinet meeting yesterday, but as usual there was no official information forthcoming as to what took place at the session. ROOSEVELT MILES AWAY WHEN SAN JUAN WAS TAKEN Gen. Noble Says 10th Cavalry Captured the Hill. SEATTLE, November 22.—That President (then Col. Roosevelt) did not lead the main charge up San Juan Hill as popularly supposed; that Col. Roosevelt was away at Kettle Hill at the time of the charge; that he, Brig.-Gen. Noble, then acting major of the Tenth Infantry, was senior officer in command, where he would be considerable disillusionment among the people of the United States if the facts of that campaign were known—such are the statements of Brig.-Gen. C. H. Noble, retired, commander of the forces at Fort Seward, Alaska, made this morning. "Roosevelt did not lead that charge any more than you did," he said to his interviewer. "There have been a lot of foolish things written about that charge, but it was the Tenth Cavalry (Afo-Afo-Afo), who really captured San Juan. We did not see anything of Roosevelt. He was at a little hill two miles away—Kettle Hill they call it. I was senior officer of the Tenth at the time, and we did not see anything of Roosevelt." TWO MASS MEETINGS TO on December 6 and on January 3 the Inter-Denomin- ting of New York Ministers meet the Long Is- land the New was held at ast Monday large of the entry. Dr. inla Bap- ttlee tee THE NEW YORK ACE; THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29. 1906. pointed to arrange for a public meeting to protest against the action of the President in this matter reported through Dr. W. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. church. Two meetings were arranged for, one to be held at St. Mark's church on Thursday evening, December 10, and the second committee to arrange a program for these meetings was then appointed. This committee announced that the following named would be invited to speak: Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis, Rabbi Silverman, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Counselor Glicchier Stewart and others. A committee was appointed to confer with the representatives of the several bodies and, draft a suitable expression of sentiment and protest to be presented to the President in person to the Navy and Army navy affairs. There will be an open meeting of the several bodies again next Monday at 2 o'clock at St. Mark's M. E. church. The committee on resolutions will meet at the same place at 1 a.m. It is to be hoped that by next Monday such information will be at hand as to give the committee better ground to work upon. TWO THOUSAND IN CHICAGO DENOUNCE PRES. ROOSEVELT Promise to Support One Company of Discharged Troops. CHICAGO, November 23—Two thousand Afro-Americans in Bethel African Methodist Episcopal church last night severely criticised President Roosevelt for discharging the three companies of Afro-American troops involved in the Brownville, Texas, riots. n a personal letter to the President, and in resolutions addressed to the War Department, the mass meeting urged the rescinding of the action. As an indication of the depth of their feelings in the matter, the spokeswoman of the Chicago would take one of the companies and support it here until the President comes to see the injustice of his course. Resolutions were adopted deploring the forthcoming visit of Senator Benjamin B. Tillman to Chicago, but calling upon Chicago Afro-Americans to control them Slaves during the event. SENATOR BAILEY ENDORSES DISMISSAL OF SOLDIERS Says President's Action, peculiarly Gratifies the South. WASHINGTON, November 25.—Senator Joseph W. Bailey of Texas, one of the Democratic leaders of the Senate, who in the past has never been second among President Roosevelt's severest critics, is out in an indemnsement of the action of the President in dismissing the three companies of black soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry Regiment. "I have not examined the question of the President's power to discharge the troops according to his order," said Senator Bailey, "but with a Secretary of War who is a great lawyer, the Secretary of War who is a great lawyer, and an Attorney-General who is sufficiently great as an interpreter of the law to be appointed to the Supreme bench, I assume that President Roosevelt was fully and correctly advised as to what he might lawfully do. "Assuming that he possessed the power, I think all fair-minded men who desire to see the army an orderly and law abiding organization will cordially indorse the positive manner in which the President has exercised his power. I have no doubt that the President would have applied the same treatment if the offenders had been indorsed. I have not insisted that Negro troops should be exempt from the same requirements of orderly behavior which rest upon and would have been enforced against white troops. "It is particularly gratifying to the people of the South that the President has resisted the political influences which sought to have him rescind the order after he had issued it. To have rescinded or even to have modified the order after it was once made would have demoralized the army and produced incalculable harm to the nation. I have talked with any of the Senators or Representatives from the South, but in my opinion they will all cordially support the action of the President." At a meeting of John Jacob Astor camp Spanish War Veterans, composed mostly of inmates of the National Soldiers' Home resolutions were ordered drafted approprt the course of President Roosevelt in dismissing the black troops. At the meeting Col. Thomas G. Brady, past commander of the South Carolina veterans'院 "1870" for the white soldiers Company K, Thirteenth United States Infantry — was disbanded for shooting up the town of Provo, Utah, and no criticism followed. A mass meeting of Afo Americans adopted resolutions this evening pleading with the President to reside his order dismissing the troops. The meeting was held in the Cosmopolitan Baptist church and was well attended. As a result of the meeting the President on Tuesday seventeen prominent Afo Americans from various places, every one of them a pastor of some church. This committee will present to the President the resolutions adopted at this evening's meeting. Sergeant Wept When Forbidden to Re-call. St. Joseph, Mo., November 16—The War Department at Washington to-day wired Sergt. Williams, of the recruiting station at this point, to accept under no circumstances the application for Frank Bounser, Afro-American, of Chicago, for re-enlistment. Bounser, however, has been honorably discharged, it is said, from Company C, of the Twenty-fifth Inventory, before Companies B, C and D were disbanded by order of President Rosewell, because of the riot at Brownsville, Tex. He who has seen nine years' continuous service, wept when he was informed that he could not again serve his country as a soldier. He says he has proof that he had no hand in the trouble at Fort Brown, and will appeal to the Secretary of War for a reversal of the order. CHICAGO, November 28—Mr. Gilchrist Stewart passed through Chicago en route to El Reno to make an investigation into the facts of the conduct of the Afro American trop, *t*, be dishonorably discharged under President Roosevelt's order. While in the city Mr. Stewart received ammunitions that one of the com panies of the battalion now under the ban of disguise, will be cared for by Chicago citizen. Indiana Mintgrove Protest. ENVANIALE, Ond., November 24—The Ministerial Alliance of Afro-American prescents met last Monday in the A. M.

A maze meeting was called for Tuesday night at McFarland chapel. $10,000 for Soldiery' Fund. THE Agr acknowledges the following contributions to the soldiers' fund: F. S.

Vigorous but thus far futile efforts have been made by the Afro-American citizens of Brooklyn to prevent "The Clansman" from appearing in that city this week at the Broadway Theater. Borough President Bird S. Coler's activity against "The Clansman" has been such as New York's Afro-Americans can never for get. From the first appeal made to him he has entered completely into the efforts to bar the play. On Saturday he was visited by a delegation headed by George E. Wibean, and including Dr. John H. Gordon, Rev. L. J. Brown, J. B. Clayton and Prof. C. A. Dorser. Mr. Wibean's plea made a very powerful impression on Mr. Coler, who had the lead power himself to oppose the production, but that if he had much power he would exercise it. He told his visitors that some of the posters exhibiting in public scenes from the play were directly incentive of race prejudice and passion. "And I could not blame you, gentlemen," he continued, "if you saw that they were removed from public view." "This play," continued Mr. Coler, "is an attempt to exploit a social problem in Britain and I am pleased to it, and to all other productions which seek to stir up race, National or erased prejudice." Mr. Coler then saw Mayor McClellan, who put the matter up to Deputy Police Commissioner O'Keefe of Brooklyn. On Sunday O'Keefe saw another delegation of Afro-American, including Mr. Wibencar, Charles II Lansing, Dr. Gordon, and Mr. Trombley, and Trimble. O'Keefe said that he could himself attend the play Monday night and determine whether it should be suppressed. He did attend, and reported that he found absolutely nothing in the play to cause its suppression. The sincerity of O'Keefe's decision is questioned in view of the report that he had promised friends of his connected with the theater, as early as last week of last week that he played the play. That is, before he had read it or seen it, he had engaged that he would not motest it. He will not be forgotten by the Afro-American voters of Brooklyn. WANT A STATE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL LOCATED AT ATLANTA Prominent Ministers Make Appeal to People of Georgia. ATLANTA, November 28. The Inter-denominational Ministerial Union of Atlanta, represented by Revs. J. A. Rush, E. P. Johnson, P. J. Bryant, W. H. Weaver, W. A. Fountain, H. H. Proctor, L. H. King, A. E. Day, J. E. Spring, I. N. Ross, president, and R. T. Weatherby, secretary, have addressed the following open letter to the people of Georgia appealing for the establishment of a State Industrial school for Afro-Americans, to be located in Atlanta: "There is need in Georgia for a larger supply of better workers with the hand both in the country and the city. Within the million Negroes in Georgia there is a powerful out of development these skilled workers may be developed. Great central industrial school for the State, and schools of domestic science in the cities, covering these lines of instruction, would tend to bring about this desired result." "Out of every 100 people in Georgia, over 40 are colored. By the action of the last Legislature an agricultural school was authorized to be established in each of the eleven congressional districts of the State, involving a cost of over $400, (18) to the public. Although these schools will be for the direct benefit of the white population, they appear to offer a race is bound to help the other. And yet we are confident that every fair-minded whiteman will see the wisdom of providing schools to cover the pursuits in which Negroes are largely engaged just as these cover pursuits in which many whites are engaged, especially since this would be of such an immense advantage to all concerned. It would benefit the whiteness; instead of looking to foreigners of strange tongues and different customs for this class of service they could utilize the material already on hand, without resorting to this doubtful experiment. "It is also clear that it would benefit the colored race; instead of neglecting that element of the race which has no aspiration for higher training, why not utilize it by training it for efficiency in the pursuit of its pursuits, thus saving it from indifference, inefficiency and possibly from crime." And then it would be positively helpful to the relations between the races; it would tend to turn the minds of both races away from their antagonisms by furnishing a point of harmonious co-operation between them. Clearly, both races are closely, this way, he can be an earner of the fact that the two will be to stay in lasting peace, mutual good will, and permanent prosperity. "Pully appreciating the private schools of learning in the State, not wishing that the school for the education of colored youth at Savannah should suffer any curtailment, nor that our public school system should undergo any radical change, we plead for these schools of practical education, the educational forces of the State of South, believing in view of all conditions and circumstances that this is a forward movement for the betterment of conditions between the races in Georgia." BLACK ON RACE ISSUE Tells Republicans Their Duties Are Not Yet Accomplished Freedmen Should Be Aided, Encouraged and Sustained by Sons of the G. A. R. Ex-Gov. Frank S. Black made the most significant address last Friday night at the dinner given Governor-elect Charles E. Hughes by the Republican Club of the City of New York at the Waldorf-Astoria. He was the only speaker with the insight and courage to recognize and declare aloud that the race problem is the one of vast difference now facing the nation for solution. He was given a formal even to that accorded Mr. Hughes, and his impassioned appeal to his party to fulfill its duties-to the man it freed was enthusiastically applauded. He said in part: "What lies hidden in the bowels of American ambition no sage has yet foretold. To-day is no more the child of ten years ago than the breath of the infant is the parent of the whirlwind. No Government can live without encountering from day to day problems of vast significance. Even at this hour and at home there rises one whose end no man can foresee. He then referred to the race problem in this way: It is the problem in the South. It springs from race hostility, the most savage root of the human soil produces. Will there be no answer to the old petition? Did humanity finish its work when slavery went down and the Constitution was so opened as to let the light shine on the colored face? Did no other duty spring from that? "If that is the doctrine that meets your complacent souls you are not worthy offspring of your noble sires. Whatever you may think, your task is not yet through. You should aid, encourage and sustain the men your fathers liberated or also the men your inscriptions on your documents and burn the uniforms and trophies of your Grand Army of the Republic." Other speakers were Mr. Hughes, M. Linn Bruce, Herbert Parsons, Job E. Hedges and Gen. Horace Porter. Gen. Henry E. Tremaine presided. Finley, Draper and Hanus Some of the Speakers. "Industrial Education" will be the theme of the State Teachers' Association, which meets in Syracuse on December 20-29. Among the speakers will be Dr. John H. Finley, president of the College of the City of New York; State Commissioner of Education Andrew S. Draper; and Prof. Paul H. Hanus of Harvard. "JIM CROW" EPISCOPAL CHURCH OR AFRO-AMERICAN BISHOPS This Question Being Convaded Throughout the Country. A canvass of views is being had by the dioceses of the Protestant Episcopal church throughout the country, in the matter of Afro-American priests to be bishops in the church and to head the work of the denominaton among the Afro-American people. The question has resonated throughout the country and in the States of Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, and others of the old border States. While the Episcopal church has not as large a membership of Afro-American communicants as the Methodist Episcopal church and the Presbyterian church, yet the question of the presence of so large a number of Afro-American people in the church is seriously disturbing the denomination, and, in order to obviate what promises to be a serious problem for the convention in the future, it is proposed that the missionary church bishops from among the Afro-American people to supervise the work, which is now done by the white bishops. There are others who insist that there shall be an independent Protestant Episcopal church, composed of the Afro-American membership, with bishops and clergy, and with power to regulate its own affairs. The Southern churches are opposed to the missionary Afro-American bishops, as under the canons of the church they would be entitled to seats in the bishops' council. A scheme for the election of Afro-American bishops originated in the South, and was presented to the general assembly of the church by the delegates from the dioceses of Virginia, Maryland and the Carolinas. Held Murderer Till Sherif Arrived, Huntsy, Ga., November 20,—This morning Will Horn, an Afro-American, was placed in jail on the charge of killing Jerry Roberts. Horn was arrested by the Afro-American mills hands at work for B. M. Grier, 3 miles west of Dublin, and was held until Sherif Prince reached the scene of the killing. Sherif Prince made a speech to the mill hands commending them for endeavoring to uphold the law and order by arresting Horn. Artist Beaten, Arrested and Fined for Drawing White Women. ATLANTA, November 22...Eddie White, a talented student in Morris Brown college, was badly beaten by white boys in the rear of the Bijon Monday night for attempting to sell crayon pictures which he had copied from some of the classic painting of the human form divine.

US Senator Justice to soldiers RACE ISSUES 4. Craped by Hoots and Chicago—Attempt unite Him Failed November 28.—Shielding 4 forty detectives and a ollicemen from the wrath numeric citizens of Chil- lainton Ryan Tillman of ordered here last night the bitterest speech be the race problem. En- ptions, hoots and hisses s and blacks in his audi- tor went wild, and made a plectacle of himself. expected, however, was Till- dion that Roosevelt, in dis- arging innocent black soldiers, com- mitted an injustice. The Senator's words were: "Now, as a general illustration of the injustice that is sometimes done. President Roosevelt discharged three companies of colored soldiers without a court- martial, in doing this he punished in- nocent men for the crime of a few. In doing this he transcended the authority of the law, and he ought not to have done it." The following lively account of the meeting is taken from The Sun: Senator Tillman of South Carolina ad- dressed 3,000 men and women in Orchestra Hall to-night for the benefit of the Chicago Union Hospital. It was perhaps the most frenzied appeal race prejudice ever uttered by Mr. Tillan. held up to his audience the spectre tack apremacy," painted in terrify- pensive. leat at his temper when taunted from e galleries; he "cut loose," as he termed "To hell with the law!" he yelled, while Ibut a handful of his 3,000 listeners seered madly. Aftot was imminent on several occasions. Interruptions from half a dozen men in the audience, both Negroes and whites, drove the Senator wild. "Throw him out! Throw him out!" ing in a chorus of thousands of voices the interruptions were made. "Shut your mouth!" yelled Mr. Tillin at one man who asked him a question. One time, when describing it pure bloody Afro-American, a man near the frost said with a laugh: "We haven't at kind of blacks here." "You haven't?" ring out the shrill of the Senator, "Look down that there's a Nigger as black as the ace." an pointed to by the Senator was ounced type of the Negro. He dressed. Half of the people on sound floor turned to look at him, placed and sat very quiet. angered at the interruptions that came a Negro in the gallery the audience a demonstration. It howled and and demanded that the disturber out. stant Chief of Police Schuettler, it on the main aisle five rows from age, quickly left his seat and started nise. By this time the audience ng so that the speaker could not the Senator dropped his hands led. on Judge Miles S. Bacon, who, walked to the rief on the platform, and raised his hand calling for quiet, but the audience would not be quiet. The demonstration had proceeded fully a minute, his mimeing with cries of "Put him to Tillman faced Judge Bacon, pointed his finger at a chair and ordered the chairman to sit down. This act was not lost on the audience, which broke forth in greater frenzy than before. Meantime two plain clothes policemen who sat near the offender in the gallery rushed down the steps. "There he is," Kick him out of the chair, him, "we by the men the writing men. One officer reached over and grabbed the man by the collar. He resisted. The officer gave a violent jerk that landed the man outin the aisle. Excitemen was at high pitch and it seemed likely that an attempt would be made to do the interrupter bodily injury. Down in the dress circle on the ground floor sat half a dozen Negro men and women. They were scattered through the hague and being held and painted. One of the men smiled quietly and appeared to be rather amused than terrified by the Senator. Judge Bacon ignored Mr. Tillman's command to sit down and finally made his voice heard. "hope," he said, "that the persons will accord Senator Tillman that respect that they would be accorded we in South Carolina." "his brought forth roar upon roar m the audience, which would not be quieted for some minutes. When order was restored Mr. Tillman quickly stirred his listeners to another outbreak by this statement." "See where you have been hurt t," with emphasis on the "hurt." If you'll wait a minute I'll say something that will touch the raw. I haven't started on this race question yet. I'm going to start right now." He termed Mayor Dunne a "political owl" and snorted and sniffed in utter disgust when referring to the "sanub" he had received at the hands of the Mayor. "Snub me? A United States Senator for twelve years?" A United States Senator who has dared to say what he thinks on any and all questions? This political owl answers "A." A well broke forth that thrilled he big audience. Himes sounded above he medley. "Why," continued he speaky, "I haven't the honor of your Mayor's acquaintance. I never saw him. I never even wrote to him. I never sent my one to see him. What honor," a smorted drawing the point of his chin The audience was wild. Tillman never be; his hold on the sympathetic listener slip. The objection to his speaking in Chicago he turned to his habanero, spat in his mouth and booed." Then he paraphrased the nursery rhyme, lumbering back, and forth across the platform with a crystal curl on his Hip and a flash of fire in his eye: Fe. f. to. fum. I heaped a load of a Southern man! Be he live or be he dead I grind his bones to make my bread! TELLMAN SAYS WE'RE ALL BY NATURE LIARS AND THEVES Attacks Washington as a Lender for Equal Rights. SOUTH HAVEN, Michigan, November 25. After having announced in Chicago yesterday that he would not trim his speech there Tuesday night, next by cutting out the race question, Senator Tillman spoke here last night. If his coming Chicago talk is modelled after the one delivered here there will be little but the race problem in it. He started out with an attack on the race in the South and kept it up for an hour and a half, incidentally taking the Republican party to task for being responsible in a measure for the race question. He predicted a bloody war as the natural outcome of race prejudice and asserted that white women in the South dared not leave their homes without escort. He said that the white race of the South holds women higher than the white subjects. North do. He informed his hearers that he had no set speech on the race subject, but could talk from one to five hours on the question and still have something to relate. He said in part: "I tell the truth and I despise a liar. The facts of the race problem are not known to the Northern people, and those who write "sout it are largely smart American." Referring to the Afro-Americans in the South he said that "almost all of them are by nature liars, and all will steal. The younger generation of Negroes are being taught that they are equal to whites, and that this time endeavoring to get these rights, led by Booker T. Washington, a half-breed, who is seeking a political position." Duane Refused to Preside. CHICAGO, November 25.—Mayor Dunn will not preside at the lecture for the benefit of the Chicago Union hospital, which will be delivered by Senator Tillman on Tuesday night. He addressed a letter to-day to M. A. J. Keller, chairman of the committee of arrangements, reconsidering his acceptance of the invitation to preside. His reconsideration is brought about by the utterances of Senator Tillman at South Side night. His deputation of Chicago Afro-Americans called upon Mayor Dunn this afternoon and renewed their protests against Senator Tillman being permitted to speak in Chicago. THREE CONVICTED OF PEONAGE IN FLORIDA Brutal Treatment of Foreigners Alleged in Testimony. PENSACOLA, Fla., November 23. — The jury to night found W. S. Harlan, manager of the Jackson Lumber Company of Lockhart, Ala., and S. Hilton and S. E. Huggins, two foremen of the same company, utility of conspiracy to commit piracy. The testimony showed that foreigners were brought South from New York, were placed in camps under duress, were trailed with bloodhounds and were beaten and mistreated. Forty witnesses testified to the treatment these men received. The testimony in the United States court in the famous case of conspiracy to commit piracy, charges against Manager W. S. Harlan and others of the Jackson Lumber Company, ceased yesterday afternoon, consuming more than a week. The testimony was in rebuttal and the movement brought out some of its strongest witnesses, who gave additional information on the killing and beating of foreigners, while the defense also made a strong showing in rebuttal. M. Bargenier, a section foreman living at Crestview, was one of the principal witnesses, relating how he had talked with C. C. Hilton and the latter told him he was after foreigners who had run away and he then had one in custody. Witness threatened to have them detained until his liberty, and Hilton claimed he had a right to come into Florida after the men, as they owed the Jackson Lumber Company money. A. C. Kemp, a farmer, related how he was at the camps one day and saw "Big Harry," a forman, accompanied by another man, go into a barn, and witness, looking into the barn, saw a foreigner strapped with a rope around his neck, and he heard "Big Harry" tell him to say his顾. The defense introduced witnesses in rebuttal of both of these witnesses, and after this the arguments began. MURDERER CAUGHT FOR WHOM FATHER OFFERED $1,000 REWARD Was a White Man and Victim Was an Afro-American. MARTINSHURG, W. Va., November 22—James Taylor, Jr., a well-known young man of Dupuisne, a suburb of Pittsburg, Pa., who is charged with the murder of his wife, Mia Aro American, with whom he quarrelled on the night of November 12, was arrested in this city today, and is being held pending the arrival of requisition papers. Taylor says he shot in self-defence. On November 17 the young man's father offered a reward of $1,000 for the capture of his son. The father said he wanted to pay any one who arrested him. "I will have to sell my property to pay the reward," said Mr. Taylor, "but I will willingly do it." Coleridge-Taylor and Marleigh at the New Pekin. Chicago, November 23.—It has been announced that Mr. S. Coleridge-Taylor, the famous composer of London, and Mr. Harry T. Burkelhill, the well-known baritone at the Paley Center, will give two city dances the month of November. NEITHER IDLE NOR VICIOUS Bishop Smith Proves by Statistics the Industry of Race IMMENSE COTTON CROP Nearly 13 Million Bales in 1902 —Large Per Capita Increase Over Slave Labor On the eve of his departure for Liberia last week Bishop Charles S. Smith of the A. M. E. church gave the following statement to THE AGE in refutation of the stereotyped charges against the Afro-American: "We hear a great deal about the intitleness and shiftiness of the Negro of the South. What are the facts? The largest cotton crop raised before the war was in the year 1830—4,800,000 bales. In that year the weight of a bale of cotton was 400 pounds. In 1902 the cotton crop amounted to 10,850,000 bales, 500 pounds to the bale. So that if we take as a basic 400 pounds, which was the weight of a bale of cotton in 1850, and then take the weight of a bale of cotton in 1902, which was 500 pounds to the bale, the result will show that in 1902 there were 12,850,500 bales of cotton produced of the same weight as that of a bale in 1850. In that year, with slave labor, the cotton crop averaged 480 pounds per capita to each slave, estimating the slave population at 1000. In 1892, with free Negro labor, the cotton crop had 175 per capita—the exclusive population that year numbering 9,000,000. Conclusive proof that free labor as a producing force is of greater capacity than slave labor; evidenced by the fact that the free Negro population in 1902 raised 91 pounds per capita more than did the slave population of 1859. The former slave population has doubled itself, and just in proportion as it has increased so has the cotton crop of the South increased. In the same time, with free labor, ask any man of reason and facts, ask any man of reason and facts, get his ground for the assertion that the Negro of the South is shiftless and lazy. Were there no increase in the product of his labor there would be some ground for the charge that he is shiftless and lazy. "So much for the cotton crop. What about the sugar industry and the rice industry? The three staple agricultural products of the South are cotton, sugar and rice. The output of sugar has increased proportionately with that of cotton and the mark is true of rice. They look the extreme in record time. And mark you, it is a rare thing to see a white man working as a section hand on a Southern railroad. The section bosses are white men, but the section hands proper are all colored men; and where you found one before the war you will now find a hundred or more. And why? Because the great railroad interests of the South have so largely increased and been extended." "Take the lumber industry. Before the war the lumber industry was almost unknowable. Now there are a large number of lumber mills, and you will find in connection with them a large number of Negro laborers. "Take the mining interest. The mining of iron and coal was practically unknown in the South before the war. Take the great Birmingham district in Alabama. There you will find that where not a single block man worked in iron or steel mills before the war, now there are thousands. Then look at the general growth. Where you found one Negro in the South. Where you found one Negro in the South. Before the war in mining of coal and iron, you will now find a thousand. Last year the output of iron and coal in Alabama alone was 21,000,000 tons. Therefore, if there are not as many Negroes at work on the plantations as formerly, it cannot properly be charged to their idiosyncrasy or afflictiveness. Before the war they had nothing else to do but to work on the plantations since the beginning of the natural resources fully a half million of former male plantation laborers are employed in various other industries. "Then look at the growth of the cities and towns in the South—another source of decrease in the rural population. Thousands of Negroes who were once employed as plantation laborers are now engaged as domestics in the cities and developing and maintaining the public works necessary to the health and orderly movement of city and town life. "I do not say that there are no idle Negroes in the South; I do not say that there are no idle white people in the South. There are idle white people and there are idle Negroes in every section of the country. Until you see angels ascend from hell and devils descend from heaven, that all white people or all Negroes will be virtuous. At least the reverse of this condition need not be expected until the millennium dawns. home, where removed from the presence and influence of the white man, is vested with the virtues of primitive innocence. Viciousness is no more an innate characteristic of the African than it is of any other race variety. "A significant fact which I do not understand is how that civilization in the hands of the English has seemingly produced a Negro of more intrinsic qualities than has civilization in the hands of the Americans. There is not an area of soil anywhere on the face of the earth over which the British flag floats as a symbol of civilization and controlling influence where a civilized and civilized soil has made an assault on a white A fact which is perhaps equally true of the uncivilized African. To confirm this one has but to study the history of Canada, the British West Indies, and the British spheres of influence in West, South and Central Africa. Twelve years ago, during a voyage of three thousand miles along the West and Southwest coast of America, and the portion of the Congo region, this time a point of special study, I traveled within a circle of English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese influence, and conversed freely with the representatives of each, and not a single instance was reported to me where an African had attempted an assault upon a white woman. The assertion that without mob law in the South as a means no white woman in the rural district leave her home unscorted without being after a Negro rapist is a charge, which, if true, rather against the white man instead of the Negro—keeping him mind the fact that the American Negro is the product of American civilization. Barbados, a British West India island, and one of the most populous places, excluding towns in the whole world, has a population of 80,000 of which number only 16,000 are no particular complaint against us; we so far as are concerned, and yet there is no case on a black man attempting to rape a white woman in investigation this will be found not only to be true in the British West Indies, but also in the French, the Danish and the Dutch. The British Colony of Sierra Leone, on the west coast of Africa, has a population of 75,000, of which number only seventy are whites. Here, also, an inferior minority stands in no dread of a great white poverty. In pursuing this line of thought, I must help but surmise that there is something radically defective in American civilization in relation to the development of the darker races. "The American Negro has been formed in the mold which the white man fashioned. When we were slaves there was no particular complaint against us; we were good Negroes then. Only since we have been free has fault been found with we have been the end of 257 years the American white man has found out that his first job has been a failure and not make as good a Negro as he thought he had, let him kindle awe the fires in the furnace of his civilization; reduce the Negro to his original compositing elements, smelt and fuse and mold him over again and make a new Negro divested of the so-called vicious and animal instincts of the present one. Let him do his first work and make it more to improve on Negro number one. This is more to his credit than to he eternally grumbling and fault-finding with the work of his own hands. "Let it be understood once and for all that every illightened and industrious Negro has no thought or wish to condemn crime or apologize for wrong. We insist on two things. First, that the Nation shall not treat its white citizens as children and its black citizens as stepchildren. Hence, that the sexes of its power and protection equate both. Second, in all cases of the infraction of law, the accused shall be given a steady, fair and impartial trial. As to the crime of rape the wanton and hellish assault on defenseless and virtuous womanhood so far from sympathizing with the culprit, we not only say punish the furnace of his punishment he heats up the yielding always to the demands of the order to stay of organized government, that in every instance the law shall render the verdict and indict the punishment." Sorrow for Commodore Mara- A special meeting of the New York and Newport Ugly Fishing club was held on Saturday evening, November 24, at the residence of the secretary, E. V. C. Gate, President street, Brooklyn, Mr. William H. Smith was chairman. The great loss which has overtaken the club in the death of their late Commodore, J. W. Mars, was feeling expressed by the members present, and a committee was appointed on resolutions, which reported the following: Austin has the inordinate band of death that he has been accused of murder, solar and associate. It had pleased Al mighty God in His divine providence to join the club, and at the ripe age of eighty-seven J. W. Mars was the time allowed to join, and at the ripe age of eighty-seven he has provided over the deliberations of the New York and Newport Ugly Fishing Club in the residence of wisdom, affability and generosity, hospitality and the teem of his fellow comrades. He can be truthfully said of him: "None knew him to love him, none named him but to praise." For over fifty years a resident of our community and philanthropist examples and interest in the work of the race, he had endowed himself to all creeds and classes of our people. His efforts to promote charitable and social interests was widely known and his paren to was ever ready to contribute to a new hope life. He served for years of a family life. He lived in words of his high ideals of the domestic life, and he wrote to the outgoing fellow of his family our sincere condolences in this hour of their grief, and will give to the father of their grief, and to the father whose promises are sure and certain.

Ha Fields Hair all St. col. hair 214 West GEORGEF Gents' FULI Fields executive Lynch Law Order Stands The disbandment of the Battalion of the Twenty-Fifth Infantry without honor and with civil disability has been confirmed by President Roosevelt. Secretary Taft suspended the order for a few hours upon the representation of reputable people, but he soon thought better of it, and before receiving a telegram from the President a few hours later, reversed himself. What course he will pursue later has not been indicated. But if he should resign from the Cabinet as a result of the President's action without consulting him as secretary of War, he would have the approval of his own conscience and the applause of his fellow-citizens. He knows that the President's action amounts to what The New York World styles "executive lynch law"—punishing the alleged criminals as well as the innocent without any sort of trial whatever, contrary to civil and to military law—and that the matter cannot stand the test of the Congressional inquiry, which is bound to be made. Such a wreching of the Constitutional rights of citizens cannot be allowed to stand without violence to the sacred principle of trial by competent tribunal, civil or military, as the case may be. If the President can act upon the advice of an army officer in pronouncing sentence upon soldiers, lynching them out of the public service and forever disbarring them from re-entering it, why cannot he order, by the same token, that they be hanged dead by the neck upon like recommendation, all "without due process of law!" The New York Times, which has brought to the discussion of this whole question a judicial thoroughness and impartiality worthy of so great a newspaper, very correctly warns the friends of the discharged soldiers against making their case a "race question," as "nothing could be more deplorable, more mischievous, or more adapted to defeat its own purpose," because "the question is one of human justice, no more, no less." We agree with this view of the matter. There is nothing whatever to be gained by making it a race question; there is nothing in the character of the question to justify any one in doing so. The people of the country at large and the responsible press have pronounced against the order emphatically simply because they are opposed to lynch law methods, and because if they tolerate it, with the high sanction of the President, it leaves everybody, in military and civil life, the high and the low, to be treated in like manner, for if the President can dispense with the forms of law and equity in such cases even so can governors of States and mayors of municipalities. There is nothing in the public career of President Roosevelt to make us believe for a moment that the question of race influenced his action. We are sure that he does not have any prejudice at all based in race or color. We believe that he would have acted as he has done in this case, if the soldiers had been white instead of black and colored. But after saying this, we are convinced that it is not convivial that white troops garrisoned anywhere in the Republic could or would be treated by the people as those of the Twenty-fifth Infantry were at Brownville. The Southern white man resents the presence of the black man in uniform and does his level best to provoke him, and when he does it he is usually shot up. It may not be right, but it is human, and judicial authority everywhere weighs provocation along with crime in order to arrive at the equities which work modification if not suspension of law in the case. The whole matter, coming on the heels of the Atlanta butchery, is to be regretted, because a great injustice has been done to a valiant body of men innocent of any crime, and because it has placed President Roosevelt in a false position before the country and the world, while furnishing justification to the lawless South to go ahead with the slaughter of the innocent with the guilty without "due process of law," upon the unheard-of principle that it is better that one hundred and fifty-nine innocent men should suffer than that one guilty one should escape. Southern Political Marplotx. The city of Montgomery, Ala., has enacted a street railway separate car law, but the railway was unable to comply with it because it did not own sufficient cars to make the change. The queer city fathers now threaten to take away the railway's charter. It is a great pity that somebody cannot take away the charter of the city fathers. They are evidently incompetent to administer the affairs of the city impartially in the interest of all the citizens, and are bent on stirring up strife between them. They will succeed. of the great republic as well as the ancient times, of the aviation of the real I have been Southern the Con stream position, War they I be you immediately offer the war to unleash all that it had accomplished, and now that their work appears to be nearly completion they are standing free to face with the cost of the Republic over another crisis, in which they are bound to come out of it holding the hot end of the poter. This Nation has decreed that it will not be "half slave, half free." The Southern politicians defy the decree, and are hunting for the trouble, which they are bound to find. We trust that the Southern States will get all of the foreign immigrants that they need. The infusion of new blood and new ideas is the only hope we can see for the rejuvenation of their decadent and degenerate moral sense and intellectual force. They are now, as they have been for more than a century, a menace to the peace and happiness of the Republic. The city fathers of Montgomery and all of their breed, what a pity it is that they cannot strangle themselves dead by the neck. Troubles of Senator Tillman Troubles of Senator Tillman. When a man of small head and deprived soul has spent a lifetime, measured by his pernicious activity as a public servant, in stirring up race hatred and strife, and in his old age continue to practice the sina of his youth, he should expect to reap something of what he has sown, Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman is such a villain. His political capital has been and is demagogy. He is as bad a case of the political degenerate as Thomas Dixon is of the ascendential and literary degenerate—both being consecrated to the service of the devil, who will ultimately claim them each and roast them perpetually over a fire not made of coals but of some Vulcanic imponderable elastic ether not comprehended in our chemistry, for the devil is a "jim-dandy" in concocting sublimated heat, as Senator Tillman will find out when he becomes a citizen of Shoel, the character and conditions of which Dante hath sufficiently described in "The Inferno." One of the phenomena of the times which has disconcerted us, and which we have not been able to understand, is why respectable and intelligent bodies in the Northern and Western States have persisted in extending an invitation to such political and moral vipers as Senator Tillman for the alleged purpose of enlarging their knowledge and tickling their abilities, for such men leave a stench in the nostrils and corruption in the heart of those who hear them which is not got rid of in a lifetime. You cannot wallow in the mud without having some of it stick to you. Senator Tillman was recently invited by the teacher body of the public schools of Cleveland, one of the prettiest and best cities in the Republic, to speak for it but upon representation of reputable Afro-Americans the director of the schools, who must be a citizen built upon right lines, so maneuvered that the address had to be cut out. It should never have been cut in, as Senator Tillman has nothing in his head that any decent person should desire to hear through his dirty mouth. The Senator must have been surprised, if not shocked, to discover that there was enough decent public opinion in Cleveland to prevent him from belching his nauseous contagions into their intellectuals. But right on top of this surprise Senator Tillman got another, which has to be watched over and protected by a bodyguard of policemen. Think of it, the inspirer of Red Shirt disoblion, the advocate of the roar, a roaring lion in South Carolina which no man dare face, guarded by policemen. It is enough to make him feel that the bottom of the earth had dropped from under him. And the end is not yet. It all happened in the city of Chicago. Senator Tillman was invited to speak there in the name of sweet charity. But the Afro-Americans did not want him to speak in Chicago. They held mass meetings to create sentiment against his doing so, and they then went to Mayor Dunne and protested. The Mayor listened. As an outcome of it Senator Tillman was asked not to mention the race question at all. What! Gag the soul-mouthed, vulgar autocrat of South Carolina! Shade of Lacifer, what bath befallen! But the Afro-Americans of Chicago were not satisfied. They muttered still and vexed the tympanum of public opinion; so that the municipal authorities thought it best to provide police protection for the catholician Senator. We believe in free speech. It is an inalienable right of free citizenship. But do Senator Tillman and his sort come under this precious right? We gag anarchists, because their teachings tend to create confusion, disorder in government and murder, and when they work the gag out of their mouths and yawp the police clap them in jail. Are not the mouthings of Senator Tillman pronounced anarchistic in their influence upon the public mind? Do not they tend to corrupt the public mind, create disorder in government and provoke murder? They do. They have done so. They will do so. Then, instead of indulging in freedom of speech, which is good and permissible, he indulges in license of speech, which is bad and proscribed. He should have been allowed to speak in Chicago without protest the pent-up venom of his black soul, and then he should have been arrested on a warrant sworn out by Afro-Americans under the dastatic Illinois law covering such incendiary utterances. If we have power and think it for the public weal in Illinois to arrest and convict anarchists who preach hate and disorder and murder, then Tillman and his sort transgress the law in this respect, when they get out of their corrupt habitation into a decent State like Illinois, they should be fetched up by the law. But all along the line the Afro-American worm, which has for so long allowed itself to be traf upon without squirming, is beginning to turn. The patient and long-suffering Afro-American is beginning to turn about and face the Tillmans, the Divons, the Vardamans and their vile sort, who are no better and no worse than the people of the States which not only scales them but put them in the high planes of responsibility and power. And Senator Thillman declares that he will speak his mind in Chicago, that he is not afraid of threats and that he wants no police protection. Very good. on the hours of work and to increase the price of labor. Under the trade-union principle, and with the obelemence of the apprenticeship system, the supply of skilled labor would soon be exhausted and stagnation ensue in all lines of produc- What? At a Republican jollification in New York city last week to do honor to Mr. Charles E. Hughes, the Governor-elect and the only one of the Republican candidates for State office who was elected, former Governor Frank S. Black, among other things, speaking on the Afro-American question, uttered these strange words, which have a distinctively alien sound in present Republican speech: "It springs from race hostility, the most savage root of the human soil produces. Will there be no answer to the old petition? Did humanity finish its work when slavery went extinct? Did we need to let the light shine on the colored face? Did no other duty spring from that? If that is the doctrine that meets your complacent souls you are not worthy offspring of your noble siren. Whatever you may think your task is not yet through. You should aid, encourage and sustain the mean your fathers liberated, or else rub out the inscriptions on your monuments and burn the uniforms and trophies of your Grandfather. If you turn its face away while its helpless people suffer it is no better than a father who deserts a stricken child." It would not be a bad thing to have Frank S. Black in the Federal Senate from New York State, where he could put into concrete shape the sentiment embodied in this deliverance. But New York State has so long been represented in the Federal Senate by mediocrity backed by moneybags that it is too much to hope that a man of real brains and convictions and eloquence can secure the high distinction. Will it always be thus? Col. Pitcher's Disclaimer. The Atlanta Constitution some time ago published a Chicago dispatch in which the following was attributed to Col. William L. Pitcher of the Twenty-seventh Infantry: The Negro troops would never have been quartered at Fort Sheridan without protest if I was to remain in command here. I never liked them and the further away from me they are kept the better it pleases me. For the life of me I cannot see why this question about them makes soldiers out of them. Certainly there are enough fine white young men in this big country to make soldiers of without recruiting from such a source. The Editor of THE AGE sent this dispatch to President Roosevelt, who referred it to the War Department, with directions that an immediate report be called for from Col. Pitcher, who is now serving in Cuba. In his reply to the War Department Col. Pitcher says: I am not correctly quoted in the enclosed clipping. At all times I not only refrained from giving out anything for publication on this subject but said to one or more newspaper representatives that the colored soldiers were United States troops and were ordered to Fort Sheridan by the War Department and that I had absolutely no comment to make, and I made none. The news dispatch carrying this matter says: "The matter will probably end with Col. Pitcher's reply. It does not seem that the War Department has any further action in view and it is believed that none is possible." But Col. Pitcher should not let it end with his reply. Apparently the *Atlanta Constitution*, has labelled him, and he owes it to his good name and reputation as "an officer and a gentleman" to institute proceedings at law against the offending newspaper. It looks as if the President and the War Department had reached a condition of credulity in which they accept the word of an army officer as being infallible. We judge that much from the manner they accepted the report of the three army officers who made an alleged investigation into the Brownville fracas and this disclaimer of Col. Pitcher. --- Trader Schools in New York Trades Schools in New York. It is not at all surprising that some of the most influential citizens of New York have put on foot a movement for the larger and better industrial education of the masses of young people here who desire to master a manual, industrial and technical education, or that a demand is being made that the trades school idea be incorporated in the public school system of New York, or that Columbia University, which has become an institution of great power and influence under the presidency of Hon. Seth Low and Nicholas Murray Butler, the president incumbent, should have just added a department of technical courses for evening students, and will enlarge the courses, as there is demand for them; there is nothing surprising in all of this, for the simple reason that it is nothing new under the sun, and because the human intelligence has always been ready to respond in its education, either publicly or privately, in guild or employers' apprenticeship or in schools, to the demand for skilled labor of all sorts. Ninety per cent, of the people have to earn their bread out of the sweat of their faces, and are glad to do it at the demand of the remaining ten per cent, which furnishes the brains, the superintendence and the capital necessary to carry on the work of society, some departments of which appear to be parastical in character, living on the producers without producing anything, apparently, but all of which are necessary to make a complete producing force. The intelligence of the labor force in Europe was for a long time dependent entirely upon the apprenticeship system, and under it it reached a high degree of efficiency, especially in Great Britain, France and Germany; but the introduction of machinery and the larger demands for manufactured products, due to interchange throughout the world of surplus production, made the apprenticeship system entirely inadequate. Trade-unions had also much to do with the change from the apprenticeship system to the school; the primary object of trade-unionism being to limit the supply of labor, to short- on the hours of work and to increase the price of labor. Under the trade union principle, and with the oblateness of the apprenticeship system, the supply of skilled labor would soon be exhausted and stagnation ensue in all lines of production except of the crudest character. Nobody understands this better and, has done more to prevent it than Mr. Andrew Caradugi. Germany has led the way in the institution and maintenance of trades and technical schools, but it has been followed closely by France and Great Britain; and this is natural, as three countries have long struggled for trade supremacy in the markets of the world. The balance of trade in the markets of the world usually follows the country with the most efficient labor and the most intelligent captains of industry. It has been of comparatively recent years that the United States has been aroused to the importance of scientific agricultural, manual training and industrial schools. But the development of them has been very rapid. Singularly enough, it was an Afro-American of great power and influence, Frederick Douglas, who saw first that the salvation of the Afro-American people would be largely through their industrial efficiency, and pointed it out to Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, in 1863, in a thoughtful letter which can be consulted by any one who will seek for it in the works or biographies of the two people concerned, and that it was another Afro-American, Dr. Booker T. Washington, who, in our times, has carried the idea to demonstrate success in his own field of labor and inspired them by his success to go and do likewise; so that trades schools are now established all over the country and are being added to and developed rapidly by the widest intelligence and an amplitude of capital, derived from both public and private sources. When General Samuel Chapman Armstrong established and developed the Hampton Institute, upon agricultural and industrial trade lines, trained Booker T. Washington to carry on the idea he had planted, watching over the Tunkegee Institute and its growth with the interest and solicitude of a parent, he became a benefactor of the American people, giving greater inspiration to bread-winners and doing more for the industrial efficiency and the expansion of American commerce than any other American citizen. It may be that General Armstrong got his idea from the letter that Mr. Douglas wrote to Mrs. Stowe; it is doubtful if he could have done as much as Mr. Washington has done to fix the idea in the affections of the American people. The trades school in New York will be a great aid to bread-winners and to those who control its industrialism, for they will make labor more efficient and general and the product of labor more finished and acceptable to consumers. We expect that Afro-American youths will listen to take advantage of the opportunities afforded by these schools to prepare themselves for the laborers of life, those of them who do not acquire to the learned professions, and in doing so they will act wisely. --- Bishop Charles Spencer Smith "shall see if there can be found a way to found a Negro Colony for American Negroes" in Liberia, when he goes there. But there is a colony there already; it has been there a long time; but it has constantly diminished in numbers and influence. Why? Past efforts at colonization in Liberia have been unsuccessful; for this has been found there will be no more efforts in that direction, we believe. --- If The Atlanta Constitution would give its white readers more advice and black ones less, we should have a higher respect for it. It says, in a recent issue, that: "If there is one lesson which the entire Negro race needs to learn more than another, it is the lesson that the South is not loyality, but the reverse." Now, our position is that if the white race in the South would attend to its own business, and leave the officers of the police force and the courts to attend to theirs, the whole situation in the South would be changed for the better in a (twinkling of an eye) The Atlanta Constitution to hunt down alleged criminal white men. Why should it advise and expect and urge Afro Americans to do it? --- Handing a man a lemon is the same as giving him a gird hand and an inlaid heart. The cartoon on this page illustrates this slang of the street. --- The venerable Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama, who should have been dead and at least six feet under ground, where he could be neither heard nor smelt, fifty years ago, has just proclaimed a proposition to be adopted by the Democratic party the following: "Resolved, that the Democratic party is and always has been a white man's party." The pronouncement dropped dead out of the mouth of the antidiluvian. The Democratic party has always been a white man's party, an antidiluvian, an American party, an Infanticide party, and it will always remain such as long as it is dominated by Southern white men like John T. Morgan, Ben Tillman, and a long list of alleged statesmen who have created confusion in the politics of the Republic for quite a century. At a meeting of Afro-American, held in Washington last week, Secretary Taft was placed upon a pedestal with Lincoln, Grant, Sumner and Phillips, because of his order of a few hours suspending the execution of the order of the President dislancing the battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, and named him as their candidate for President two years hence. The Afro-American people are a great big reed which a very small breccate can shake at any old time. Secretary Taft has no special love for them, and has never done anything to show that he has certainly not while Governor of the Philippine Islands or Secretary of War, -and if he should live fifty years more he would not get himself on a pedestal with Lincoln, Grant, Sumner and Phillips as their champion, simply because having other fish to fry he would not devote himself to the line of slave-manageable necessities. Secretary Taft is a great man, but if he has any peculiar interest in the Afro-American people and their rights he has yet to show it. The Afro-American people have too many alleged spokesman anwhose spokesman who think with their tongues and not with their heads. It is the curse of the race. THE PRESIDENT HANDS A POW TO THE 26TH INFANTRY. DR. LIGHTHOOD HELLO THAT CAN I ENJOY? TAPT- CALLS UP THE PRESIDENT CONCERNING THE BATTLE U.S.A. WE NEED COURAGE. Race's Chief Defect. In Lack of This Quantity. HISTORY. November 23.—There are some qualities, mental and moral, which the colored people of America need to acquire or develop in order to get what belongs to them as American citizens. . . . Are one of the chief of these qualities is courage—the courage to take a mainly position on the race question and to strengthen such position in face of the frowns of power and the teeth of hostile public sentiment, and under the falling axes of persecution, loss and even death itself. No man or race is worthy of freedom who are willing to suffer for the race's freedom—but singularly rich in men who are ever ready to have other people throw their whole bodies to the lions of American colorophia and power, but who are strangely reluctant to risk a little danger in the mouth of those same lions. They talk big when there is no danger and grow awfully dumb when danger lures them threateningly on their horizon. Then they draw back and their tongues lost a sound escapes them and harm comes to grow, if the danger shadow lingered too long against their skies, so afraid, that as children grow afraid in the dark, they must needs whistle a tune to propitiate the shadows or ward off from themselves even the most remote possibility of personal harm. First, speech terrifies them in face of future loss; then silence terrifies them also lost that silence be misinterpreted by the powers that be, of whose very shadow such men live in mortal death; then the break their silence such circumstances that they think, ent such sorry, such despicable figures that all self-respecting colored people feel ashamed that they belong to the same race with such troubling sowards and reckons. How many colored men would have the courage to say with Mr. Sumner, after the passage of the Fugitive Slave law in 1850, and when reminded that as a U. S. Commissioner he might me called on to execute that infamous bill, he uttered these brave and memorable words: "I was a man before I was a Commissioner." How many a colored office-holder would say in face of danger of losing his place, say, for instance, to Mr. Rosevelt himself: "Mr. President, I was a colored man before I was a Federal office-holder?" Men like it are ever disposed to follow the laws of host resistance in all numbers relating to host resistance without understanding, without caring to understand in fact, that this line of least resistance is too often the shortest way to the total loss of a race's rights and to its consequent degradation and ultimate extinction in the battle for bread, for existence itself. The trouble with the ordinary colored office-holder is that he sees clearly enough what is wrong in respect to the race with the other party, but he grows blind as a mole in seeing faults in his own policy in the same respect. He is quick to denounce injustice to his race when the other party is the author of it, but he is slower than a small to open his lips in protest or criticism when his own party happens to be the author. Such leaders are absolutely no good to the colored race so long as they remain in office. But when they are not in office we have in mind a pretty good illustration of the folly of colored people depending on colored office-holders for voicing their wrongs. In this city some leading colored citizens are trying to organize a club to look after the rights and opportunities of colored people, which is certainly a very noble purpose. This purpose the club declares it will support ROOSEVELT HANDS 'EM A LEMON fearlessly, pledge itself to be "outspoken and plain in its public utterances," to be "the true and honest defender of the rights of citizenship," etc., "to be entirely independent in its action upon any matter," and to be "controlled by no party or class of men," etc. All this sounded very well indeed to use until we in glancing over the list of its officers, found its president and secretary to be two office-holders. These are both good men without doubt, but they are plainly in wrong places in such a club with such a purpose and pledged to the employment upon occasion of so much genuine courage and independence of action. For neither the president nor the secretary will imperish his official head by any utterance or action which may offend the House or power of the Hill. Of the other gentlemen, we hear, was so regardful of his official head that he declined to attend and speak at a meeting in Faneuil Hall, called to denounce to the country and the world the activities of the Atlanta massacre, and, of course, the gentleman could not be drawn by a hundred horses to occupy a seat on the platform as another Faneuil Hall meeting, called to denounce to the country and the world the unprecedented injustice of President Roosevelt's order discharging without honor a whole battalion of the famous 25th U. S. Infantry, because President Roosevelt happens forsooth to be his party chief, and the drafthier of the party are. What good will such a club of colored men, offered by Republican office-holders, be to the colored race under such circumstances? Will it be "outspoken and plain in its public utterances?" and fearless and independent in action where the Republic accustoms itself to political chiefs to the subject of criticism and terror? Well, we will be our last dollar that this club will do none of these highounding things when the time comes for the doing of them. Therefore, we ask again Qui bono! Gov. Guild, we are told, tells a queen story of one of our brave Boston colored leaders. But to understand the Governor's story we must tell the whole tale. And here it is. When the colored people were fighting tooth and nail the bill appropriating Massachusetts money for the Jamestown Fair, a delegation of prominent colored people got Gov. Guild to give them a hearing. The Governor gave the hearing and the colored people voiced their protest against the meaure in vigorous language. One gentleman was particularly eloquent of滴答 of those All Republican who might be instrumental in its passage into law. The adult people present were immediately pleased with the brave words of this brave man. But this brave man with an awful amount of brave words lingered behind, so Gov. Guild says, after the colored people whom his brave words had clenched, yes, this same brave man lingered behind in the Governor's room to beg Gov. Guild not to regard his brave words, because they were not intended for him, the Governor, but for the colored people only, before whom it was to his personal interest to speak as he had done. Gov. Guild told the story to a gentleman instructe the emotional nature of colored women to whose brave and vehement verbioles of whose brave nothing, absolutely nothing, when they came into action. This brave man at the hearing the colored people thought was brave enough to eat the Governor alive; the Governor found him at the tail end of the hearing brave enough only to eat his own brave words! What is the matter with much men, with such colored leaders? The matter may be found in self—in the things which think may and to promote or injure their life, and in the office which they hold they think many times and yet many times again before [Drawn for This Ago by R. C. SHEPTON.] they will say or do anything which may operate to push them out of their government position, whether the saying or the doing of that thing be right and therefore helpful to their race were they to say it and do it. If the general good agree with the purely personal good of such brave men, well; otherwise it is not well for the general good. And it is the same such men be not yet in power so power is not yet in power so pecet soon to get there. They will speak out or do the right thing for offending the powers that be powers which dispense the official page of their and so mayhap they miss that for which their anxious thirst is thirstest the heart after water brooks. If they run forward do so because of the dulctet sounds of falling waters of patronage in the de of their thirsty lives, and if they be thirsty lives, and if they be ting sounds. More likewith, much me, they have government positions, are ways looking for something better to up, and if they have nothing in moment lines, they are ever looking for thing in that line to turn up for And so they tremble at shadows fearsome at possible losses, talking talk to-day where they have nothing to fear, and small talk to-morrow where they fancy their positions or prospects are in danger such as they fit to any thing on earth such as they slaughter Let them answer frankly and then step down and out of their government places or their desire for government places. For they cannot serve God and Mammon, party and their race, at one and the same time. James W. Mum. From The Springfield Republican. Jan. 16, 1980.

So, for that matter, which it assumes to suspend, of summoning a military officer a soldier or a sailor, in exercised. It has rarely ised, however, when the case clear that the victim could plausibly protest.

In the second case, that of Captain Oberlin M. Carter, the question came up directly. While he case, on other points, was decided adversely to the appellant, the court revived its decision on this point. But in text of the unanimous opinion superspersons to warrant the conclusion court would hold such of the amendments applicable to the navy as were not in conflict constitutional power granted to provide for the government and naval forces of the Unit.

He has preferred to take final action in conformity with the pars report of his Inspector General, who had at his command none of the means recognised by military any more than by civil law as essential to judicial accretion of truth. 3. As a question of policy. The President's order in this case was no unprecedented, so radical, and so sweeping that it was a foregone conclusion that men whose attention had been arrested by it should at once begin to look about for explanations. It is not good that American citizens should be driven to make search for the motives of their President in his official acts. It is very bad. But in this case it was necessary and inevitable. When a politician, such as we may, without disrespect say that President is, does an act which, on the basis of the evidence of the motives of it irregular, the baboards are simply compelled to make a search for motives. It is not their fault if they conclude that the order diminishing "without honor" a whole battalion of colored troops would not have been insured, the circumstances in all other respects being the same, against a battalion of white troops. It is the case itself which suggests that the President has concluded that the colored vote is now negligible compared with the Southern white vote. It is evidently in vain to form of other, in some way, the colored president, action is well-known impulses, and that he would have done the same thing that he did do the offending battalion been composed of the whites. They will not believe it. The will continue to believe that the President's "crue and unusual" treatment of this black battalion is the President's roundabout and behaved apology to the Southern whites for his entertainment in the White House of a distinguished man of color. That was the sentiment that actuated a meeting of colored preachers in the White House, and that was very nobly, that it is not social "recognition" that they asked of the white man, but equity and justice, and that the President had done them wrong in granting that and denying this. Even if this deepened sentiment does the President an injustice, he cannot complain. He is himself responsible. The defiant message which he has sent to the Republian Committee of this county by no means takes the tone which it behooves him in such a case to take. It is clear that, in his haste to punish a comparatively few offenders by punishing the form of body of minor part, he has exceeded his Constitutional powers, outraged the popular sense of justice. It is not an attitude of obstinacy and defiance which becomes any man in such a conjecture. ARMY REGULATIONS VIOLATED. Military Journal Accuser Reesevelt of Headlong Innovations. From The Army and Navy Journal. The action of the President in dealing with the Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry savors too much of Oriental methods to meet with the cordial approval of either civilians or the army. There would seem to have been no sufficient reason for not leaving the matter to be dealt with in the ordinary course, thereby the department of Information and the Doctrine Department would have avoided the mistake it has made in inflicting a punishment upon the delinquent soldiers which goes beyond the power of even the commander-in-chief. It is unfortunate that Gen. Garlington, upon whose recommendation President Roosevelt acted so promptly, should have overlooked the fact that the power of the President to debar the discharged soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry from Government employment does not extend beyond his term of office, and cannot be made perpetual by Executive action. Where does Gen. Garlington find the reason for the discharged soldiers to declare that these discharged soldiers shall be "forever debarred from employment in any civil capacity under the Government"? Sentences of disqualification were formerly common in our army for offences other than those coming under the Sixth and Fourteenth Articles of War, in which this penalty is expressly prescribed. In 1876, however, the attorney-general held in the case of the finding of a naval court-martial that sentences of disability were "not in accordance with the custom of the service except when expressly authorized by the court-martial or a military case in G. C. M. O. 22 and 1870, and the punishment of disqualification imposed upon an officer was disapproved as unauthorized. The sympathies and the passions involved in the treatment of Negro soldiers are such that it was important that the action taken in this case should be so deliberate, so well founded in military president and so strictly in need with the president, that the only subject to just criticism. As it is, we may be sure that we have not heard the last of the discharged soldiers of the Twenty fifth, for those who are disposed to befriend them now have it in their power to charge to prejudice action taken by the President upon the initiative of an officer of the army who is a native of the city, and whose most recommendation went beyond the authority of the President. The justice of such criticism is apart from the lesson which we are seeking to enforce, which is that the well-established methods of the military service are those which it is safest to follow. They may seem to be slow to those disposed to impulsive action, but they are a safeguard against conclusions formed without duly considering all of the questions involved in the determination of a given case. A warranter will show that the discharge of a soldier without honor is carefully guarded against abuse, and he is accorded the right to have his case considered by a board of officers given his commanding officer can give him such a discharge. SHOULD ROVERSE HINSELF Roosevelt Should Not Reward "Informer," Whom All Hate, The President could well reverse his order disbanding whole companies of the black regiment for an offense which makes THE NEW YORK AGE; THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1904. West Point and Annapolis cadets manly, in the opinion of their comrades, and of their countrymen. That offense is the refusal to become "telltales" against accused comrades. The colored men did not know which of their associates were guilty. Those who did know—some of whom were guilty of the action themselves—may have told them, and little by little the knowledge may have spread. But those who thus became aware of who the guilty were have not told on them, and all the companies are to be dismissed from the company because they refused to become "telltales." An "informer," the world round, is reprobated. History, fiction and drama hold him up to reprobation. The universal reprobation of the "informer" is proof of the moral health of the race. Mr. Roosevelt should share that reprobation, and not carry his great power to award of it. He should retrace his course. Mr. Taft did well to halt the execution of the sentence, which should never be carried out., Mr. Roosevelt will do well on his return to sustain Mr. Taft and to reverse himself. It is hard to ask a man to reverse himself, but he can, with impunity, make errors which other men could not safely make, so can be, with applause, reverse himself, and retrace his course much more easily than men of less popularity and of weaker hold on public admiration and public forbearance on conviction. The President should reverse himself, and, we think, he will. EFFECT ON AFRO-AMERICANS. United and Respectful An Never Before —Will Roscoevelt Back Up? From The New York Evening Post. There is, fortunately, hope that the President's order will be not only suspended, but revoked. It is, we believe, now merely a condition of finding a new treaty with dignity and ease. This much we read in the President's cablegram to Mr. Gilchrist Stewart, which we print elsewhere. True, according to Frederick Palmer's dispatch to Collier's, printed in to-day's Herald, the President is firmly insisting that his views are "clear and unchanged." Experience has taught, however, that just when the President protests most violently that he will never do a certain thing, his mind is paring for change. He knows that he should be laid before him on his return, we feel sure that his sense of justice and love of fair play will induce him to do justice where he was by inadvertence about to do injustice. If, as the friends of the troops maintain, some of the men who are about to be discharged without honor were absent on furling at the time of the Brownville riot, the President will certainly not insist upon their being punished. Again, if it should be proved that some of the men who are about to turn State's evidence, the fact should weigh with Mr. Rosevelt in his reconsideration of his order. Some one may also call the President's attention to what happened when the Fourth Cavalry lynched a murderer in 1831. As we have already pointed out, Col. Compton was at once tried and punished for that riot, though the officers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry have not yet been hold accountable for the misdeeds of their men. Morsover, who was a captain, betray his fellows was promptly punished for advising and abetting the lynching and permitting the caribines to be taken from their racks. How was it that the men who had the keys to the gun racks at Fort Brown were never put on trial and forced to explain their failure to obey regulations? Even aside from these details, President Roosevelt will find military men unanimous in their belief that his president point of view. Three generals—Sickles, Tremaine and Roberts—were strongly of this opinion at the Republican Club meeting last night, at which only seven out of 300 members voted against the resolution of protest. The Army and Navy Journal also feels that the President's procedure "savors too much of Oriental methods, and calls attention to the important fact that the army regiments specifically state that the army "regulations." This specific state that everyone who is discharged without honor has the right to have his case considered before a board of officers before his commanding officer can give him such a discharge. What will pain the President most, we think, is the general bad effect of his step upon the colored people. As he evidently explained with care to Mr. Palmer, quite aside from the military aspect of the case, he wished his position to be recognized as a move against race antagonism and race solidarity, such as was shown in the Atlanta riots. But nothing that Mr. Roosevelt has ever done has produced such a solidarity feeling in the military of the Twenty-fifth infantry. If he had set out to find a way of making them stand together in self defense, he could hardly have chosen a surrender one. For ourselves, we rejoice in this very manifestation of independence and self consciousness among the colored people, who, as even their enemies must admit, have borne themselves with dignity and courage, although firmly convinced that their military representatives are the victims of inexpenable injustice and discrimination. That the President's excellent intentions have led him to asylum is, primarily, to his personally taking cognizance of a routine War Department matter. Another War Department insists, should have been left to the War Department itself. Furthermore, the haste and lack of consideration for the law governing the case, which he has often manifested previously, are also responsible for the storm of criticism, which is the more fortunate, since it arose during his absence. PUNISH A MAN AS GUILTY: And Then, Make Him Prove His Insecurities. In Roosevelt's View. The War Department's mail is heavy with protests against the arbitrary "without honor" discharge of three companies of Negro soldiers, by order of the President; and the bulk of the protests, it is said, come from Massachusetts, although nearly all sections of the country are being heard from. This is good; in fact, it is great. These soldiers are only Ingre, but the simpilism, or the fear, is around that they are not getting the white man's justice. The Washington Port, which is far from "migraphile" in its sympathetic, re-organized way, is some which some of the colored members of the Twenty-fifth Infantry were guilty in Texas. It declares: Similar infractions of discipline have never been dealt with in such a way in the United States. The members of the 5th cavalry took from jihad and hailed a man who had killed one of their number, and it could not be learned by culpable persons. The regiment court-married and punished as the responsible head of the command. Consider the two offenses. The white cavalryman of the 4th regiment turned mob, stormed a jail and lynched a prisoner of the civil authorities. Instead of discharging two or more companies wholesale, in disboron, because the identity of the culpits could not be discovered, the colonel named him after the ground that his regiment's discipline was a disgrace to the army. The offense of the colored infantrymen, in the eyes of the Government, is essentially the same, for they failed to reveal to the authorities the names of the particular soldiers who ran. amuck in Brownsville. Instead of court-martialting their officers, as being responsible for the discipline of the enlisted men, three whole companies are arbitrarily discharged. Whatever the reason, the Government to do, it is contrary to the accepted ideas of justice in civil life to punish a man without a trial. It is contrary to our ideas of justice to punish men on mere suspicion. It is a maxim of our criminal law that a man is to be considered innocent until he is proved guilty. There is no dispute that among the three companies of disobserverly discharged Negro soldiers there are no prisoners in punishment in punishing them alike with men who are guilty the Government has violated every one of the three rules of justice referred to. The abused position in which the Government may be placed appears in the statement that the War Department is considering the question whether any of those black soldiers could be re-enlisted if they could prove that they, individually, had not been guilty of complicity in the Brownwell riot or in the alleged subsequent agreement not to turn informer against the unknown culprits. Such a concession might be regarded as liberal, even generous, at the War Department, but let us consider how it would work with its own civil justice. The effect of it must be to make a man accused or suspected of crime prove that he is not guilty, which is absolutely contrary to the most elementary principle of our criminal jurisprudence. The final demonstration of the prepositorous nature of the situation is that "Recording to the War Department's view, "upon reenlistment, the soldier would not be able to claim the benefits of the retired list because his military record was not fully met, "finally blotting out the discharge" "without honor" would not be effaced by the positive demonstration that the soldier was innocent of the offense for which he had been driven from the service. You punish an innocent, "about trial and then let him assume, ... of proving all the pointless and dis- lities which an unjust punishment had brought upon him. No one has the slightest desire to侵入 the enemy's territory, but the more this case is considered the more likely is it that its various aspects will need to be threshed out in Congress the coming winter. A LAWYER'S VIEW. How Can Anyone Be Punished Without Charges, Trial or Conviction! Boston, November 23—Mr. A. H. Grimke, staff correspondent of the TAGE AHS has received the following letter from A. E. Pillbury, one of the most eminent constitutional lawyers in the country: "A. H. GRIMKE, Esq. "Dear Sir: Without full knowledge of the Brownstein affair, sufficient reasons are already disclosed for protesting against the summary discharge of an entire battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry for the Twenty-fifth Infantry "From any question of the guilt or punishment of the actual offenders, or even of those who knew but refused to tell who the actual offenders were, General Garlington himself, in recommending the discharge of all alike, says, "I recognize the fact that a number of the men who have no direct knowledge as to the identity of those who actually fired the shots will incur this extreme penalty. "That is to say, a number of the men are punished for not disclosing what they did not know, and therefore could not have disclosing that information." That is not punished for not telling who the offenders were, but for not knowing who they were. A Roman emperor might have hesitated at such an injustice as this. "Further: Until this occurrence, I supposed it to be common knowledge that no man in this country, not even a Negro soldier, can be subjected to legal punishment for an offence without some form of charge, tran' and conviction. The Articles of War prescribe for the offence of all men in the court-martial. They provide for the punishment by court-martial of the only legal offence of which any of these men are accused. Yet they are all summarily discharged without tran, innocent and guilty alike, with the added punishment of permanent civil abilities, and a part of them are so punished without even a suspicion of any offences known to the laws. If such a person is guilty of the same offence, which I do not believe, this occasion should out an end to it. "The whole affair carries on the surface a most unpleasant but unavoidable appearance of concession to the race hatred of the South, of which a gallant body of soldiery, having strong gratitude, upon the justice, if not the gratitude, of their countrymen, and the commander-in-chief, are made the victims. Looking beneath the surface, there is reason to believe that it is another sacrifice of law and legal rights, of which we have seen so many in the last dozen years, to the same despicable prejudice. "It is not necessary to impute deliberate injustice to the author of this order. If capable of injustice, which is not to summon he but appears incapable of deliberation. But he must suspect with according to its consequence, whatever the motive that prompted it. The case calls not merely for public protest, but for full and immediate investigation into the legality of the order. "A. E. PULLMANU "Boston, November 15, 1906." From The Atlantic Constitution. The United States has been formed by certain parties in New York, Philadelphia and Chicago to take under their protecting wing the members of the dishonorably discharged Negro troops of the Twenty-fifth United States Infantry, some of whom shot up the town of Brownville, Texas, and were protected in their crimes by the others, must come as a surprise and a shock to every self-respecting and law-abiding citizen of the country. That a sentiment could exist in the United States which would make heroes of murderers and thugs and their protectors is, indeed, deplorable. The Republican President of the United States, after full investigation and hearing of both sides of the case, decided upon a very just and proper course in military discipline, designed to protect the people and similar outbreaks on the part of lawless and black. The offense was murder and the protection of those guilty of this crime. The punishment was well-merited. Condonement of these offenses to the point of making heroes of the criminals can only put those misguided negrophiles upon a plane with their criminal wards. that touches pitch need needs be defiled! We have no fear that this proposed plan of giving notoriety and encouragement to crime in any degree proceeds from the better and sane sentiment of those northern communities. We are sure it is in no sense representative of them. There can be no doubt of the fact that thinking about legitimate proposition comes from the crank and the negrophile who, misguided in his bitter prejudice, continues to agitate a strife that forever puts farther off the end he aims at. No State, no section, is free from the crank and the fool. The South has its sitter even though fortunately none of the class who would put the criminal upon a pedestal and bid others follow in his footsteps. But in all ages all countries have had their share of perverted mental and moral vision, overbanking at times the abyss of degeneracy. For what such as these institutions must do to rest upon those people who must perforce, suffer their presence among them. TEARS OF THE SOLDIERS. Have Returned Their Arms to Country They Loved. To the Editor of the New York Age: And so the deed has actually been commuted. Black soldiers, weeping, have returned to the country they love the arms which they so loyally have carried. armes which they so loyally have carried. Soldiers! Do you believe in God? Can you not see how He is working with this American people? By their first-born shin on many a battlefield, by earthquake and tempest, by pestilence, by fire and flood. He is calling them to repentance. Closing their ears to His promptings, they add iniquity to iniquity. They have set their faces against the dark races of the earth, wherever they have gone, have they captured the Cubans and Filipinos are Negroes. Indians are Negroes, Chinese and Japanese are Negroes; and a Negro has no rights which a white man is bound to respect. Since they have begun this, let us pray they may continue it until the Yellow Peril and the Black Peril comprehend their common interest. Soldiers, return peacefully to your homes. Take up your lives as best you may, or if your hands still itch to fiddle a ride, go to Cuba. They need you sorely there, and there they will appreciate your worth. Never, never forget the hour when you wept as you returned in dismay the arms for years so honorably borne. Tell if to your children and to understand your children. Make them understand the will. It is God's will that you become the little heaven which shall heaven the whole lump. In a primary school a few days ago the children were told to "write a story about the President." the teacher expecting to hear about the trip to Panama. This is the gist of what she received: "The President fought with the colored troops at San Juan Hill. They saved his life and he discharged without honor." Have such incidents any meaning for the future? I think they have. CONSTANCE PRESTON Washington, D. C., November 18, 1906. Boycott the Army! Secretary of War Taft states that immediate steps will be taken to recruit colored soldiers to take the places of those dismilled in disguise from the service. All of the colored folks anxious for jobs to pay about fifty cents a day with a chance of being "kicked out of the service" without honor whether guilty or innocent ones now for $2.00 per day in good paying with honor, can rush to the recruiting stations at once and be sent to El Reno, Oklahoma or to Fort Brown, Texas. Unkindest Cut of All. From the Topoka Flankerade We are surprised to learn that President Donald Trump discharging one battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, stationed at Fort Reno, because a few of the soldiers asserted their rights as men in protecting one of their counties against the invasion of a few years ago. Some of these Negro men have been in the country nearly thirty years, and had fought at San Juan Hill, saving Rosecet's life and presenting his Rough Riders from being one of the unkindest cuts of a soldier. Dr. Rosecet has lowered his dignity as a soldier and a stateman in the estimation of thousands of local American citizens. We cannot understand his attitude on the Negro side. Since his trip South he joined hands with the Southern robots to continue the outrages on the Negro. It was not right nor just to dismiss all these soldiers for the action of two or three, and we hope to make them a better up, restoring them to their rights. Governor Hoch, when asked by the managers of the Plaintiff to telegraph President Obama's asking that he recall the draft document, knew it did not know it, and will give the matter my most careful consideration. We next went to Google.com and made the message reached the President grunted, and the message reached the President before the departure for Panama.

From The Star of Zion What will the Roosevelt worshipers have to say now, since Companies B, C and D of the Twenty-fth Infantry are discharged disgrace because they would not be able to serve in the white soldiers would have been lauded as true, brave, loyal, etc., for refusing to peach on each other; remember that never before have such drastic measures been taken against the army; remember that less than a dozen soldiers are presumed to know the real criminals; remember that many veterans, some on the verge of honorable retirement, some on the verge of honorable retirement, malefactors are thus summarily disgraced, and remember finally that Roosevelt owes his life to these Negro soldiers. What say you, hero worshipers? Months ago this week, we needed for soundlog an anti-Roosevelt alarm. It is time for us to say "we told you so." Saved Roosevelt and Rough Riders at San Juan. From The Springfield (lll). Leader. The President has no doubt forgotten the variable service the Negro troops rendered the life of the African-American who saved his life and his pet regiment of officers from an annihilation and disgrace. Is it justice to the brave boys who fought with the desperation of a wounded tiger, to protect the flag and country which will not protect them in their civil rights? Is it justice to the African-American party to the crime committed, innocent of the罪 they are, must suffer the same penalty as the guilty? We think the decision is wrong. President Roosevelt has issued an order discharging without honor three companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, colored, which were stationed at Brownville, Texas. Some were stationed at Brownville, Texas. Some were stationed by the whites who companies were as-suited to the presence in Texas and the soldiers fought back and in self-defense wounded a policeman and killed one white man. About 137 incumbent men must suffer, but only 137 incumbent men must suffer, because knowing anything about who did the shooting in the riot of Brownville, they do not know the names of the guilty parties. The theory appears to be that this case is new and without foundation in law or reason. Because he cannot find the guilty man, he punishes the innocent, the theory appears to be that the President sent to him a statement that some of the men were innocent even of knowledge of the offense, so called. John The Huntsville (Alas.) Journal John would not punish the innocent for the guilty, his discipline to the con- tray notwithstanding, that the con- tray made a gierous error in dishou- ncing the whole of the three companies of colored troops of the Twenty-fifth Inquiry because of the misdidings of the twelfth century. That is pall- pably plain and yet out feel that we had been loyal to the cause of justice and right if we did not say so. Still we do not think the President would wantonly do any man an injustice, much more has been one of the soldiers. His error has been one of the soldiers, and possibly by his impulsiveness. Stripped of the office of President and his consequent manifold duties and pressing interests to subdue those who believe that, Roosevelt the calm, reflecting officer would stand for what Roosevelt, the President, has ordered in this case. Punished Many Who Are Innocent. From The Southwestern Christian Advocate. President Roosevelt has been the unprecedented thing in dismissing the stationed of Negro soldiers that was stationed at Brownville, Texas, for the reason that he did not disclose the identity of some of their officers and had been accused of violence and murder. Upon the face of this report the President has deliberately punished many apprehended and discharged with out solidarity of the government's best soldiers. Well no war on now and these men are not no war The entire New York press of the country has been stirred to the point of attack against President Hoover for his ordering a dismissal from the service of the enlisted men in the entire battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry in Texas during the Brownville trouble. Pursuit of the whole battalion because of the enlisted members is as perseverable as the enlisted members in the mob which murdered innocent citizens of women and children, in the streets of that city, because the authorities were unable to force the men accused of who have been accused of crime. The President is the more reprehensible, because of this case he is the supreme authority and the unaccepted with the guilty, while the authorities in the mob and did all in their power not that it disturb the innocent. The Atlanta massacre and the dishonorable discharge of the enlisted men in the country of colored soldiers, will go down in the history of acts of infamy, in the year of 1906. The President in his dealing with a number of the companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry.

It is not our purpose to defend those who have been guilty of wrongdoing, but when he indiscriminately dismisses three or four companies from the business and enforces this law, he establishes and enforces this law, than the privilege of enlistment in the army or of employment under the government, we are forced to inquire "who is in this our Caesar and upon what must doth he be guilty of wrongdoing?" With impunity deprive a citizen all of them rights without even a trial? This seems very far from anything like a "square deal." Roosevelt Loosing Prestige With the Whole Army, From The Baltimore Weekly Guide. President Roosevelt is coming in for a just share of scathing criticism for his unrestricted treatment of the colored soldiers. According to the Army, he prefere daily with the whole army. If he his unprecedented and unjust act the government can break faith with the colored soldier, it will sooner or later do so with the white soldier. No one knows and feels this keener than the white veteran in active men of the Grand Army men who bear in their bodies the marks of heroism and victory. RACE'S ARMY RECORD: From Crispus Attacks Down It Has Been Loyal and Brilliant. From The Indianapolis World. A Negro battalion was disarmed this week by executive order. Old veterans who by executive order had petitioned of their living liberty the scene was pathetic and sufficient in itself to stir the emotions of the patriotic life of the country. Ten million Negroes wipe with the men who were discharged in disgrace from the army of the Nation because of the alleged misdeeds of three or four men. While the President's unprecedented action has aroused the Negro from ocean to ocean, the military record of the Negro remains undimmed. We have the keys of the cosmopolitan National organ of the pro-American Anglo-Saxons are the white keys, and the national song can not be properly played without the combination, use and support of all of them. Remove or abuse one of these black keys and you destroy the harmony and mar the beauty of this country's most glorious song. The Negro has not been an idle spectator upon the sky's plain part upon a hundred battlefields. The bleak attacks cries out from the plains of Bombay. Fort Fisher, Fort Donaldson, Fort Warner and Richmond can well attest the valor of the Negro soldier. In this last strife, that cruel fratricidal war which shook this continent from center to circumference, covering the country with men's bones and drenching the soil with men's bones, when hostile armies were marching from the quivering the North to the blue, rippling waters of the Atlantic, when cannon flamed from the Atlantic, when rifle, whose last reverberation died out at pomattos, when rebellion was thundered at the very gates of the capital, and when treason was marching with gigantic strides, putting forth its bloody talons to grasp the throat of the Goddess of Liberty, the Negro, with his sword in hand and his rifle to his face, throw himself between the Nation's capital and advancing foe and exclaimed, "Stay here, let the Nation live." The colored soldiers, the colors, not given to desertion, and much more temperate than any other soldiers. The history of the Negro in war must now be revised. A break in his military record has been caused by the extraordinary act of the President. Shame on New York! W. T. Menard in The Florida Sentinel. A feature of the election was the success of a colored man, who was elected a member of the Wisconsin legislature. L. Palmer, colored, Republican, was elected to State Assembly over thomas E. Ramsey, assembly over thomas E. Ramsey, by a plurality of 67 votes. It is also said this is the first instance in Wisconsin that a colored man has been elected to the legislature. The victory of Mr. Palmer is remarkable when the census figures are legged up. The last United States census gave Wisconsin a total population of 2,069,042, of which number only 2,542 are Negroes. Think of this handful of Negroes having a representative in the State legislature. Negroes have been elected to the State legislature, but New York with a Negro population of 99,232, and Pennsylvania with 156,845 Negroes are without a Negro member of the URB. reposition k Ace: Aico Senator ing.

The monthly public meeting of the Carlton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian Association was held at the Fleet street Memorial A.M. Zion at 10:30 a.m. with Secretary R. P. Hamlin presiding. Features of the meeting, aside from the speaking, were a splendid bartone solo by Dr. L. J. Delatre, and selections by the branch quarrel. The meeting was followed by a Postall of the New York State Y. M. C. A. committee, whose subject was "Catching Men." The address was filled with helpful suggestions to the men. The meeting was followed by Dr. W. R. Blisson, chairman of the branch, and Mr. H. L. Simmons, general secretary of the Central Association, were present and took part in the meeting. Secretary Hamlin confessed which convened in Abuille, N. C. on Wednesday to hold four days. A three nights' fair, illustrating the months of the year, by the Sunday school class.

Zion church in the absence of the pastor, the Rev. F. M. Jacobs, Dr. William R. Lawton preached an aide sermon at the church on Monday, the day officialized in the evening. The Sunday school is taking on new life under Mr. Barrett's administration and plans for the Christmas festival are being perfected. On Sunday evening, Christian Endeavor will be magnificent with a literary program that was good. Among the speakers and singers were such well-known persons as Counsellor F. F. Giles Mr. John H.

Miss Rall, Miss Knight, Miss Fair, Medames Kearney Abbott, Mayo and Dean, recitations; Reys, Johnson and Brown, Memrs, Bonnett, Owen and Dean Too much credit cannot be given President Bush for his efforts in making the reception a success. Mr. Mattocks has a popular aptitude for Christian Endeavor work and has from time to time bad some of the best local churches. The reception Tuesday evening surpassed all previous efforts and netted a neat sum for the society's work. The Sunday school fair opened Monday night to continue through the week. This fair has been attended by teachers and the teachers of officers are encouraged. The Fount in the Wilderness which was given for three nights last week by the liking King's Daughter, was a gratifying success. At the Oxford Baptist church Dr. W. T. Dixon prescribed a doctrinal sermon at the motoring services from Hebrew 9-12. After the regular table collection had been taken the church and congregation contributed the sermon and gave offering. The Sunday school in the afternoon was attended by 400 scholars who with their teachers enjoyed the lesson and also an address by the Sheer. Mr. Phue. The Christian Endeavor Society at 6:30 addressed the students of the Training Institute on Warley avenue, upon Frontier Missions. In the evening at 7:30 the church was crowded, camp chairs being used to seat the people; the occasion was the annual union sermon to the Teens, under the auspices of the Training Institute. The sermon was preached by Dr. Dixon from Genesis 18:9. Pastor Dixon was at his best and traced his text from Abraham through the birth of Isaac, and the twelve tribes to the birth of Christ, showing the importance and life-case of legitimate sons of the first call of the line. The collection for the day from all sources was about $75. All services at St. Philip's P. E. church were well attended last Sunday. The future for the work was never brighter. Rev. Neil Nestor, the pastor, and Rev. Nathanage look forward with pleasure to the laying of the cornerstone for their new building on December 9, at 2:30 p.m. m. That day will be the fourth anniversary of the construction of the rectory, the pastor, and his professor and Mrs. Charles A. Dorsay will leave the city this week to visit friends in Philadelphia.
