THE GRAMMER PRINT WE COMPLAIN ALL THE TIME, BUT DO NOT BACK UP THE COMPLAINT WITH THE SORT OF ACTION THAT COMPELS RESPECT OR REFORMATION. WASHINGTON, D. C.; December 7. Among the many business improvements made during the last part of the year 1906 and still in progress, may be noted the erection by Mr. David L. Stewart, the undertaker, of a building five stories in height, fronting forty-four feet and extending backward eighty feet, on twelfth Street, Northwest, opposite the gormont Avenue Baptist Church. The provements will include office, ma, storehouses, a chapel, arts, rentments. It is estimated that events will represent an expenditure about $15,000.

There is no appeal to the esthetic, hardly any to the idea of cleanliness in the furnishings and service of this establishment. Yet, their delivery wagons will compare favorably with those of other bakeries, and the bread itself is not surpassed by that of any other establishment of the city. The Vancos are people of substance, national and international reputation. A sister, Miss Lucinda M. Vance, was one of the Fisk Jubilee Troupe a quarter of a century ago, and as such delighted and was in turn entertained by the nobility and royalty of Great Britain and the Continent. A brother, Thomas S. Vance, in the famous presidential struggle between Hayes and Tilden, stood so heroically to his guns in Alachna precinct, in Florida, as to have elicited from a well-known politician "To that man Ruth indebted for his elec- dying a little more than a decade ago. Since all these different business men and women who, in the last few years almost in the last twelve months, have displayed the evidences of thrift I have noted, are supported with possibly one or two exceptions almost entirely by colored people, it may indicate a tendency that in the matter of business the Negro at the National Capitol is making a commendable beginning. But I must not forget the pharmacists and the drug stores. These are entitled to special notice. NEW ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY To Be, Rebuilt by the American Baptist Home Mission Society. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 4. Through the American Baptist Home Mission Society a large university for the education of Negroes is to take the place of Roger Williams University, which was destroyed by fire some years ago. Roger Williams University is to be reconstructed at a cost of $25,000 on property devoted to a board of trustees, the majors of which is to be elected by the colorist Baptist State convention and conducted by an exclusively Negro faculty. The consummation of the plan is conditioned upon the Negroes of Tennessee raising $10,000 of the money needed to rebuild. The remainder will be donated by the American Baptist commission shortly. The National Baptist convention of the colored church in a recent meeting has proposed a similar plan to the Home Mission Society, with the purpose of obtaining funds to create a theological seminary, and it has been accepted. The plan for the seminary, if completed, will give Nashville another Negro university. It is proposed that the seminary be built on the same property with Roger Williams, but if it P. its management will in all probability be distinct. Work toward raising the $10,000 for the reconstruction of the university is now on foot. President of State Conflict Board Describes an Amazing Condition. MONITOR. Ala., Jan. 4.—In a report to the Governor of Alabama Dr. Shirley Bragg, president of the Alabama Confict Board, says that humanity would be best served if every jail in the State were burned. "It would be more humane and for better," he urges, "to take the prisoner out with a ring about his neck like a wild animal than to confine him in the places we call jails, that are reeling with filth and disease and alive with vitamin. "I tell no secret when I say that in many jails men and women remain for months without means of washing their faces and hands." "If the State wishes to kill its convicts," the doctor says, "it should do it directly and not indirectly." BRUTAL NEW YORK POLICE The Case of Two Women Assaulted by a Sergeant of Which No Notice Was Taken—Mr. Erhardt Arraigns the Police. Former Police Commissioner Joel B. Erhardt has addressed a scathing letter to Police Commissioner Bingham on police Abuses, of which the following is a significant part: The majority of the force are good men and would like to see a radical change, if it is a good change, for they know that the department has never been in such a putrid condition as it is to-day. I use the word "putrid" because none stronger occurs to me this moment. I call your attention to a case that took place on December 7, 1903, at about 10 o'clock in the evening when near Fifty-second street or Fifty-third street. I witnessed a person talking to two colored women, one of those harmless banterings that sometimes take place on a car, the cause of which I did not know but which I afterward learned and found it was occasioned by a white woman entering the car with a child about three or four years of age, who said, "See the niggers." The child having repeated this a number of times the colored women expostulated, upon which the white woman left the car. When the two colored women left the car one of the men made some remark to them which prompted a retort, upon which one of the men ran half the length of the car, striking the woman in the face as she was leaving or had left the car, knocking her down and her companion, who had taken no part in the conversation. He was a very heavy man; together they did not weigh as much as he did. Some of the passengers jumped off the car, I among the number, and expostulated. He still continued to beat them. One of the citizens asked him if he was an officer, and he said he was. He was then asked to show his shield, which he declined to do, and the citizen repeated the demand as fast as he could for about fifteen seconds, I should say repeated it at least ten times. He then pulled something out of his vest pocket which I did not see, but the citizen said that was enough. He then arrested both women. I did not believe that he was an officer and determined to find out, so, late as it was, with the two citizens, I walked down to Fiftieth street and took an elevated car to Bluesker street and walked over to Police headquarters, where at the detective bureau I found this man, who turned out to be a detective sergeant by the name of Frazee. This man made no attempt to arrest them, nor did he show his authority as an officer but simply contented himself with knocking them down and brutally assaulting them, after which he undoubtedly intended to go on his way, but being compelled to show his shield by one of the citizens he was then obliged to arreast. As to whether the women were disorderly in the meaning of the law, I do not know. If they were it was his duty to arrest them by showing his authority at once and then to defend them against all assailants even at the peril of his own life. Now, what would have happened if when this attack was made there had been colored men on the car, for it was near a colored settlement? They would undoubtedly have defended this attack on those women as any man would have done. The reserves would have been called out and you would have had what they call a race riot, and the same indiscriminate attack on colored people would take place that happened some six or seven years ago, when the police clubbed every colored man they saw on the West Side, in the old Twenty-ninth precinct, when then, as at this time, the fault was entirely with the police. I gave the sergeant at the desk of the detective bureau my name and informed him just what had happened. I suppose this letter would not have been written, but no notice has been taken of the matter by any one on the force. It is the duty of the department to investigate any case like this and if it deserves it cause the complaint to be made by one of their own number and not expect the average citizen to do so. Very few citizens ever desire to make any complaint, against the police, especially those of the lower classes, who have no one to protect them, for he would be hounded from one place to another and followed wherever he went, and in what- way you can get the accused before the Commissioner. I should not be at all surprised if these two women, after being sent to the station house, had some charge made against them that was not true, for the purpose of getting them out of the way, or subsequently to getting some statement from them that they were not attacked if they did not care to incur the displeasure of the police, for they are a feeble folk and timid. This, however, was an assault on citizens, witnessed by citizens, and the offence should not be condoned. PROTECTS WHITE GIRLS. Chances "Mahher" and Turns Him Over to the Police. MINERAL WELLS, Tex., January 5. While two highly respectable young ladies were walking out in the north part of the city one evening this week they were accosted and insulted by a young white man. The frightened young ladies screamed lustily and Tom Pearcy, a Negro, who is employed at the Kingsley, heard the screams and ran to the assistance of the girls. When he learned what the trouble was Tom gave chase and overhauled the insulter and turned him over to the police. The man was fined heavily, and while the police believe the fellow was only guilty of an indiscretion which might have been the result of too much liquor, they nevertheless think that Pearcy acted courageously. HELD FOR SHOOTING MACKLIN. Corporal of the Twenty-fifth Fuerza Damaging Evidence of Guilt. El. Reno, Okla., January 7.—Corporal Knowles, a Negro of Company A, Twenty-fifth Infantry, was arrested last night at Fort Reno, charged with shooting Capt. Macklin on December 21. The evidence against him is a blood-stained khaki blouse found hidden near the post. The coat bears Knowles's initials and there is a bullet hole in the left sleeve. Sergt. Needham confronted Knowles with the blouse and Knowles acknowledged ownership. It was tried on him, and a bullet wound was found in Knowles's left forearm corresponding to the bullet hole in the sleeve. When asked to account for the wound Knowles said it had been made by a nail. The Negro who shot Capt. Macklin wore a khaki coat. Three shots were fired. Two of them struck the Captain and the third was never accounted for. It is supposed the Negro shot himself in the struggle with Macklin. The Captain said that Knowles corresponds in height to the man who shot him and that his voice is like that of his assailant. Knowles has been treating his wound in secrecy, contrary to the custom of soldiers, who ask to be put on "sick leave" on the slightest pretext. All Knowles will say is that he can prove his innocence. The post surgeon will probe the wound to-morrow to see if the ball is still there. Knowles has been on leave in Oklahoma City since the shooting and may have had the ball removed while there. She Remembered the Father of His Country. MINERAL WELLA, Tex. January 2.—Dorcas Harris, an Afro-American, who has just been buried here, lived to the age of 129 years. Among her reminiscences none pleased her more than to relate that she had known George Washington, and had seen him many times in her youth. She was born in 1777, and was a resident of Palo Pinto county. Afro-American Fallbeachers for White Benefactor. LOUISVILLE, Ky., January 5.—Four Negroes, recipients of many kindnesses at the hands of George W. Morria during his lifetime, bore the casket containing his body to the grave after the services at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Carrie M. Boone, No. 738 Third avenue. There were no other pallbearers. The Negroes selected had been known to Mr. Morris all his life, and they felt greatly honored when told of their selection to bear all that is mortal of their good friend to his last resting place.

THE PRETENSIONS AS A. LAWYER CALLED INTO QUESTION. The Successor of Charles Sumner in the Senate Defends the Constitutionality of the Course of the President in Discharging the Soldiers—Senator Cul伯森 of Texas Widely Dedged the Constitutional Phase—Not Discussion on the Perkner Resolution—Present Aspects of the Whole Case. WASHINGTON, D. C., January 7. Mirabilis diotual Henry Cabot Lodge, Senior Senator of Massachusetts, has spoken on the Brownsville affray. He has told the Senate that while he is ignorant of the facts in that now very celebrated case, he is not ignorant of the law, and constitutional law at that, relative to the authority of the President to discharge without honor 167 soldiers of the 25th Infantry without trial of any sort and without a particle of competent legal evidence to support the assumption of their guilt on which he based the Draconian order of their discharge. "He was not prepared," he is reported by The Washington Post to have declared on last Thursday, to decide upon, the question of fact relating to the Brownsville matter, but he was prepared to decide off-hand its constitutional aspect. He thought it was perfectly clear that the President had not exceeded his authority. At any rate, this doxity defender of his friend, Theodore Roosevelt, was willing to stake his legal reputation on this assertion of his regarding the constitutionality of the executive order. We wonder if Mr. Lodge considered that he was risking much when he risked his legal reputation on the soundness of his position. For, if the Senior Senator of Massachusetts has ever achieved a reputation of any sort as a lawyer we have never heard of it. And when, pray, has any one in his own proud commonwealth, or in the Senate of which he has been long a member, or in the country at large, looked to him for light, for illumination on constitutional law? When? Echo answers, when? No, not in the law, constitutional or common, has Mr. Lodge achieved distinction. He is nowhere regarded seriously, outside of his library, as an authority in American or any other law. We were a classmate of his in the Dane Law School of Harvard University, and he certainly did not achieve distinction in the subject at that time. He has achieved distinction, deserved distinction, in letters, as writer and orator, and a very questionable distinction as a machine politician in the Old Bay State, where he rose several years ago to the proud position of Boship, and where he still sits enthroned in the arms of all the State and federal office-holders as the alert god of the party machine. He is an authority in American letters and in American machine politics. But in American law, military and civil, well, hardly, except possibly in his own self-estimate. It is not at all surprising that he made the veteran constitutional lawyers of the Senate stare on last Thursday, when he undertook to decide off-hand a legal question involving such far-reaching effects as the constitutionality of the Draconian order of President Roosevelt, discharging without honor and without trial of any kind a whole battalion of soldiers on a mere presumption of their guilt—an order which denies to these men as American citizens the right of re-enlistment in the army or navy of this country, and incapacitates them totally, not for a short or a long term of years, but forever—employment in any capacity whatever in the National government. In this connection we recall the story of that old Negro whose master, having just added a high-priced horse to his stud, asked the slave's opinion of this new specimen of horse-fleas. The old man stood for a moment in deep thought and then he began to chuckle softly, as if to himself, at something which apparently tiekled him in the side of some funny memory which had come back to him. "What's the matter?" the master asked, unconsciously. "What do you find to grin about?" he insisted when the old man failed to answer at first. "Well," the slave answered at length, after getting himself safely in hand. "Well, massa, yer horse 'minds me of something in de Bible 'bout 'him and his money and soon parted,' I disremember the first part, sah!" Mr. Lodge and his reputation as a constitutional lawyer may be soon parted in this Brownsville debate. For, by a simple sum in this sort of subtraction, if we take naught from naught, naught will still remain, however much we may desire a different result. As the doughty Massachusetts Senator has no legal reputation to risk anent this subject, he assuredly will not lose what he never had. He will not, however, be the only one of his kind who will dare to rush into this debate, which is now coming on in the Senate, where whisper men, in which the great constitutional lawyers of that body, will hardly dare to participate without the amplest preparation, without the profoundest study. Then Senator Culberson, who promptly got the floor on Thursday to present the white Texan side of the controversy, refused to give to the Draconian decree of the President his unqualified approval. He defended all that part of the order which discharged without honor and without trial the colored battalion. He believed it, to be to that extent legal, constitutional, but no further. He did not find that the rest of the act of the President was based on law or Constitution. The President possessed no legal warrant to deprive these 167 soldiers and citizens of their right to re-enlist in the army or navy, or to deny them employment in the National government for a longer term than one year. Senator Culberson did exactly what suited his purpose to do as a Southern man. It suits his purpose and the purpose of his section to give the President the qualified support which he gave to his order in the Senate on last Thursday, because to that extent, and to that extent only, the case of the President and the case of white Negro-hating Texans were in precise accord at all points. Where the case of Texas, of the South, falls short of the President's, there at that exact point the defense of the Senate from Texas fell short of the Preside needs. He needs the fullest, the greatest defence of his order, but exigency of Texas, of the Hall, on the 10th of last November, in order to helper up his own, does not migrate, or it could not to emigrate, any intelligent person. If he can find any strength for his cause against the colored battalion in the document he is quite welcome to draw upon it for that purpose. For that protect occupies one of the two positions taken by the friends of the colored battalion. One of these positions is the one taken by the Constitution League, that the ally on the evening of August 10, last, in Brownsville, was the work not of the colored battalion, but of certain white people in Brownsville. Should this position of the Constitution League prove in the course of the investigation abut to be ordered by the Brunswick automobile, the friends of the colored soldiers have the second position occupied by the Boston Protest, viz., that granting that a few of the soldiers did "shoot up" the town that night, will the President's act was one of great injustice, unprecedented severity and of wanton abuse of Executive authority, in as far as it affected innocent troops because they would not act as spies and informers on comrades. This position, it seems to us, is absolutely impregnable in law and morals, the assertions of the President and his plant Northern tools and Negro-hating Southern defenders to the contrary notwithstanding. Senator Foraker so amended on last Thursday his resolution for an investigation by the Military Committee of the Senate of this Brownyshire affair as to make it mandatory upon that committee. He himself spoke as only he can speak upon a subject on which he is thoroughly prepared and in which he is deeply interested. His ridicule of Capt. McDonald was in his hearsen, his most caustic manner—of that Capt. McDonald described by Maj. Blockson as a man of much supreme and sublime courage that "he would charge hell with one bucket of water." "I don't know," said Senator Foraker, "why Capt. McDonald would charge hell with one bucket of water unless it was that he had no other use for the water." Nor did Senator Foraker understand what in the speech made by him two weeks before McDonald resented, unless it was the term "gentleman." All of which only tends to show that there will be hot times in the Senate next week when the discussion comes up again, and comes up then probably to stay, until the facts are disclosed in this celebrated case and justice is done to brave and innocent men, who suffered and suffer still the enormous wrong done them by the Draconian order of the head of the army. ARCHBALD H. ORMKE THE SUCCESSOR OF SUMNER. How Scarlet Lodge is Surprising Massachusetts As the successor of Charles Sumner, Senator Lodge is surprising Massachusetts in the matter of the Negro soldiers. It is not that he stands by the President so loyalty; the point that excites amusement is that Mr. Lodge should have been the first man in official life to attack gratuitously the record of the 25th Infantry prior to the Brownsville episode. Neither the President nor Secretary Taft had done that. Secretary Taft indeed, had said that "colored troops are quite as well disciplined and behaved as the average of other troops." Major Blockson in his report wrote that "the battalion had an excellent reputation up to the 13th of August." But Senator Lodge, the successor of Charles Sumner, had scarcely opened his mouth in answer to Senator Foraker when he charmed that these soldiers had a bad record. In other times and under other administrations, Massachusetts would not have been found playing such a role in the Senate. Massachusetts would have had a Senator who would have sought to defend these soldiers rather than have sought to be mischief them. Yes, Charles Sumner is dead; and so is George F. Hoar. MR. PURDY'S BROWNSVILLE JOB. What It Demonstrates and What It Does Not From The New York Sunn. Suppose that the energetic if somewhat irregular efforts of the Hon. Milton D. Purdy at Brownsville should result in fixing upon a few of the soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry the guilt of riot and even murder. Suppose that this ardry investigation should also prove that others of the enlisted men of the Twenty-fifth ceq guilty of an insubordinate and collusive attempt to shield the principal criminals by concealing facts of which they had knowledge. If that should happen, and the guilty soldiers were set in the service of the United States Government, the course of justice would be clear. The rioters and murderers could be turned over to the civil authorities for trial and punishment under the provisions of Article 50 of the Articles of War. The accessories after the fact and the obstructionists of military justice could be tried by court-martial under Article 62 of the Articles of War and punished according to the discretion of such court. This orderly procedure is impossible, for the simple reason that the guilty soldiers have been removed from the jurisdiction of military authority by President Roosevelt's action in advance of any real investigation of the facts. This seems to us to be the plain common sense of the situation: If Mr. Purdy makes a case now he will only illustrate the fact that a case could have been made at an earlier stage of the proceedings, relieving Mr. Roosevelt of the unpleasant "necessity" of punishing innocent along with guilty. If Mr. Purdy fails to make a case now he will illustrate the fact that the guilty, if such there are, have been punished in the absence of even the insufficient evidence now addressed and the innocent punished along with them. And whether Mr. Purdy makes a case or fails to make a case, the fact will remain that the outcome-of his investigation throws not a sunbeam of light upon the main question, the constitutional ri-ri-ri of the President, without a lawful trial, to assume the guilt of all and to act on that assumption. THE PRESIDENT STANDS FIRM Nothing Can Induce Him to Relinquish the Disbanded Negro Soldiers. WASHINGTON. January 5.—In the strongest terms President Roosevelt again informed several of his callers this morning that it would be the merest waste of paper for Congress to write any law upon the statute books calling for the reinstatement of the three companies of Negro troops recently discharged by him without honor. Every person with whom Mr. Roosevelt has talked on the subject is satisfied that the President is in the same frame of mind that he was a fortnight ago when he told a group of five visitors in his office that he would even take his chances of impeachment by paying an order of United States supreme Court should criminal decide that he had no right to the soldier. intimated this morning that feels that his case has been the report of Milton D. Attorney General. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, JANUARY wrong in his dismissal of the three companies. They believe that he had the constitutional right to dismiss the soldiers out of hand, but that he did not have the authority to qualify the dismissal by saying that none of them shall hold civil or military office hereford. Sir others among the lawyers of the Senate admit solely that the question of power to dismiss without honor is a matter of doubt. DISHISSAL WAS ILLEGAL Gustav von Opdenham Given by Oel. Alex- 逊勒 & Brecon of Bophrin. Colonel Alexander S. Bacon, who with J. Douglas Wetmore, has been retained as counsel for the Afro-American Council in the matter of the dismissal of the battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, growing out of the riot at Brownsville, Tex., declares that the discharge of the men "without honor" was illegal; and would not be upheld by the courts if brought before them under a writ of contiervark. In his formal opinion, which will be sent to Senator Foraker and the members of the Senate and House committee on military affairs, he says: "It is my opinion that a discharge 'without honor' is wholly unwarranted by the statute, and is a libel. It is my opinion that the part of the order which debars these soldiers 'from employment in any civil capacity under the Government' is without authority, and is null and void and would be so declared by the courts in a proceeding to review the legality of this order by certiorari or otherwise. "There is a mistaken idea prevalent to day that the President of the United States, as Commander in Chief, can inflict punishment within his jurisdiction. "Under the English and American constitutions no persons (except minors, prisoners, etc.) can be punished in time of peace except by the judgment of a court. A father can, of course, punish his child, but a judge cannot punish a man summarily in the street. Neither the commander in chief, nor a colonel, captain, or even a high and mighty corporal can inflict a punishment on the rarest recruit. Punishment can only be inflicted by a court-martial." Colonel Bacon says that the proper proceeding would have been for "the President to have ordered a court of inquiry to sit at Brownville and elsewhere as might be necessary, in order that the exact facts should be obtained, under the sanction of an oath and the searching inquiry of cross-examination." DEMOCRATS BACK REPUBLICANS Administration Forces Routed on Constitutional Point. WASHINGTON, January 7.—President Roosevelt's contention that he was within his constitutional rights in ordering the dismissal of three companies of Negro troops from the army without affording any of the dismissed men an opportunity of making a defence would have been virtually repudiated by the Senate to-day if some of the wiser heads among the Republican leaders of that body had not arranged a course of action that averted a test of strength between the President's supporters and his opponents on this important question. As matters turned out the proposed indorsement of the President's attitude was sidetracked for the time being and a vote on the pending issue was postponed. It was a field day in the Senate, with Senators Lodge and Foraker, both Republicans, occupying the center of the stage one as the defender, the other as the critic of the President. Prior to the time the speechmaking began, however, several things had happened that to many Senators were more interesting than the speeches themselves. Soon after the Senate was called to order it became known that President Roosevelt had invited several Republican Senators to the White House and had asked them to support the proposal of Senator Lodge, his closest personal and political friend in public life, that Mr. Roosevelt's action in discharging the Negro troops without honor should be indorsed as legal and constitutional. It found little sympathy on the Republican side and even among the Southern Democrats, whose exclusive guardianship of the Constitution has been considerably lessened in the face of their satisfaction over the act of a Republican President in casting Negroes out of the army by the wholesale, there was a general feeling that Mr. Roosevelt had gone too far in directing that the dismissed Negroes should not be entitled to hold office under the Federal Government. In fact the Democrats were lined up against the Lodge indemnement proposition and have so in formed the Republican leaders. DO ALL AFRO-AMERICANS LOOK ALIKE TO YOU? To the Editor of The New York Age: The editorial headed "Lynch Law Methods in Practice" on your issue of December 13 cannot be too highly commended, and your paper is to be congratulated for having the privilege of publishing the able analysis of the President's new policy by Dr. Grimke. What is most gratifying to me, however, in that issue is the stand you take against, the attempt of Mrs. Clifford to make the word "black" apply to the whole Afro-American people. I have long viewed with disapproval the attempt of both whites and Afro-Americans to dub every man who has African, or rather "black" blood in his veins, no matter how little, "black" man or "Negro." It has always seemed singular to me how every Afro-American, whether white, yellow, brown, or black is expected to take the black man as his type, and how many in fact do so take him, when the eight or nine millions included under the head of Afro-Americans are of all the colors mentioned above: how marriage of mulatons, quadroons and octacouss with whites is miscegenation, but their marriage with blacks is just the proper thing. It is not so in Cuba. Prejudice causes it to be so here. Why will Afro-Americans foster it? A mulatto is no more a Negro that he is a white man. This is not an expression of a desire to escape the trials which beset Afro-Americans, and all other dark people for that matter, by cutting loose from my people land poining the dominant race by crossing the color line—for while not really black myself I am so nearly so that no one would ever suspicion that I have a drop of white blood in my veins—for as long as prejudice causes people with one drop of Negro blood to be classed as Negro, or black, I believe it a good thing for all those so classed to stick together, for in unity there is strength.

FOUR AFRO-AMERICAN REGISTRY ORDNAMED TO THIS PHILIPPINER. Twenty-fourth Theres—Sudden Return to the Policy of Equal Foreign Service for All Negotiants of the Mobile Army—Dealed that Punishment to Intended—Explanation by the War Department of Reversal of Policy Due to Changed Conditions in the Philippines. From The New York Sun. WASHINGTON, January 5.—When it became known to-day that an order had been issued by the War Department which will send every Negro soldier in the army to the Philippines before the end of 1807 the impression was created that the order was a consequence of the agitation over President Konevelt's action in discharging three companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, a Negro regiment, for misbehavior at Brownville, Tex. The War Department, however, promptly denied that there was any connection between the order and the Brownville affair and official and unofficial explanations were offered to show that the two things were not related in any way. The Twenty-fourth Infantry is now the only Negro organization of the regular army serving in the Philippines. The three other Negro regiments—the Twenty-fifth Infantry and the Ninth and the Tenth Cavalry—are on duty in the country. While every white infantry and cavalry regiment with the exception of the Third Infantry has served in the Philippines since 1902 no Negro organization went to the islands between that time and 1905, when the Twenty-fourth Infantry was ordered back to the islands. According to what has been openly sold by War Department and army officers for several years Negroes were not a success as soldiers in the Far Eastern possessions of the United States. During the insurrection and in the period of pacification, there were few suitable barracks for troops in the islands, and they were quartered in churches and other semi-public and public buildings, right in the center of towns and villages. The necessary close commingling of troops with natives had a harmful effect upon discipline, particularly of the Negro soldiers, and in consequence it was determined as a policy to keep the Negro reelements at home. In 1906, however, it was decided to send a Negro regiment to the Philippines as an experiment. Suitable barracks had been built at nearly every important place, and as those were comparatively remote from the towns it was contended by those in favor of making the experiment that the difficulties of maintaining discipline through the commingling of Negro troops and natives would be avoided. Accordingly, on the recommendation of Lieut-Gen. Adna R. Chaffee, the Chief of Staff, the Twenty-fourth Infantry was sent to the Philippines. Recently reports from the islands have indicated that the difficulties heretofore experienced with Negro troops were not renewed, and the success of the experiment is the only reason, according to War Department officers, for the order just insisted directing that the three Negro regiments that remain in this country shall proceed to the Philippines by the end of the year. "There is nothing significant in the order," said a War Department official. "We are simply seeking to secure equality of service beyond the seas. It is not right that white regiments should get all the duty in the Philippines. Besides, by keeping the Negro troops at home, we were depriving them of the 20 per cent. increase of pay for Philippines duty and of the advantage of earlier retirement for service, for every year spent in the Philippines counts as two years on a soldier's record." The following official statement explanatory of the order was issued by Secretary Taft: "There was a time, between 1902 and 1905, when the colored regiments were not sent to the Philippines at all. In 1905, however, this policy was tentatively changed, and the Twenty-fourth Infantry, a colored regiment, was sent to the Philippines, and is now there. The service of the Twenty-fourth Infantry in the Philippines has been entirely satisfactory, and it is thought that the service of the other regiments will be. In reporting upon this subject Gen. Wood says: "I recently visited and made an inspection of the departments of the Visayas and Mindanao and found the Twenty-fourth Infantry very well liked by the civil authorities in the neighborhood of its various stations. In fact at Tacloban the Governor expressed particular appreciation of the fine conduct of this regiment." "Because of this report and experience the General Staff recommended and the Department decided it to be wise to return to the former policy of equal foreign service of all the regiments of the mobile army." "The present assignment of the other colored regiments to the Philippines is merely for an equal distribution of foreign service. They have not been there for four years.

WASHINGTON. January 4.—John Bannon, secretary of the board of trade at Brownsville, Tex., where Negro members of the Twenty-fifth Infantry are alleged to have "shot up the town," is here. He expressed the opinion that the investigation now being made by Assistant Attorney-General Purdy would result in fastening the guilt for the riotous behavior on the Negro troopers. "They were discharged without honor by the President, and properly so," said Mr. Bannon. "There is a Negro saloon keeper in Brownsville who was formerly in the army, although he was not in the Twenty-fifth. It is known positively that he is in possession of the names of thirteen Negro soldiers who took part in the riot. The offenders told him of their part in the affair, and he in turn told it to some of his white neighbors. The man went on the stand before the Grand Jury and perjured himself on the ground, it is generally believed in Brownsville, that if he divulged his knowledge of the guilt of the men he would be "shot to pieces." He had been terrorized into the belief that if he told what he knew his life would be put in jeopardy. I have no doubt Mr. Purdy will get this man's testimony if assurances are given that his person shall be safeguarded.

The questioning in an editorial from our New York Am, which we regard sound, safe and man. The Am is correct, absolutely an, in directing attention to that question, in asking whether it would be supposed great leaders, but our mind might be designated wild agitators, who are doing worse harm to the African American people in the United States. We have been an admirer of Mr. Fortune for years, and believe in his doctrine of practical work, rather than theoretical preconception. We have been wrong, whenever he undertakes to advise the race on great and important issues affecting the race. Let us take his advice, and get down to business. The "Courant" agrees with The Am and has described this serious amount of talk about raising large some of the most scandalous men than history to raise money. When will we ever learn? Two Knockers That Agree. An exchange remarks that up to date Portland has furnished the only Afro-American who has had the temerity to endorse the President's actions in discharging without honor those three companies of the 25th infartry. The brother is wrong, for there is that priscighter and brulser, Joe Gans, who hails from Baltimore. He said the same thing as did our Brady. Of course we must admit that it is a rotten kettle of fish. Brady is a tallor and Gans a priscighter; the two avocations are foreign to each other. In fact there is no similarity; but, strange to say, both are knockers. The exchange further says that it did not believe that Brady represented the feelings or opinions of the mames of our people in Portland. No! Not by a darned sight! And we want you and the world to know it now, henceforth and forever. Labor Tyrauny in Oregon. The tyranny of employers scarcely ever went to such an extreme as this tyranny of labor leaders who one upon another humiliated men to quit their jobs who don't want to do so and have no good reason for doing so. They must be that the executive must beware; must be that the should not be photographed, for this offends the sensibilities of some of them and might be considered a threat; should be recognized as a union, but if so and they choose unitedly to make these demands very likely the company would accede to them and give the executive arbitrate; but the company's officers are quite right in refusing to have anything to do with labor agitators entirely outside the company; but no business meddling with their affairs. If the carmen would unitedly strike and have together, they could no doubt tie up the business and give the principal part in concession to their demands and as long they did no violence, public sympathy could be with them, but for the executive to work the workingmen, to try to force the carmen into a strike which most men are not aware of into its own and nothing about it is both an art and a wicked piece of business. (or Inquire Goeve for the Agitators. From The National Baptist Enclo. upon several occasions we have called attention to the fact that the long-disaster was aى gistator of the race question which was the result of the race in the South whether they be white or colored. Jew, or tientile, do the Southern Negro's more harm than they do good. Evening the fact that there are unquas and conditions in the South arising out of prejudice on account of race, color and previous conditions of the race, but to be so, and the reconciled himself to the situation, and it doing his best to work out the problem along lines that Invite less frien disneys to be disneys to be more important. The majority of the Negro's discontent. The majority of the Negro's live in the South, and they have invested all of their hard earnings here. Many of them are not more than they have in the world, but they are improved, large bank accounts, splendid business investments and excellent standing in the communities where they live. They have had a great number of money and life, and it is quite out of the question now that they should be unduly exercised, or set to wandering about the country making the way of the world. They are working about for new fortunes. They recognize the fact that there will always be a race problem of some kind wherever there is one of the two. Now that this is the item will have to be worked out by the better element of the two races that are thus thrown into control. The most likely is that they should be admonished by loud-mouthed orators, and unsound philosophers to take the law into their own hands, and to drift around the country banning an easy place. Whenever there is a little disturbance in this section, zealous members of our race at the North call indignation meetings, please wait a resolution to attend the event. We are not a lot of people who are suffering quite as much as they can endure without the addition of much. We have to do this to support you of the race has been expecting youth of the race should be moved by these fossil suggestions and passionate appeals, and it is to this end to the future of the race. If you are not so good, we should be thus afflicted. We need soberness, quietness, common-sense, culture and reason in dealing with the race problem and who should be so so good, we should be so safe to pursue the unsound characters that they should not be tolerated either in the Negro newspaper or on the platform. Our methods should be so good, we should be so good, and we should be so good. We should not, in ourselves should increase, and we should listen to the more sober element of the race. We should not be so so good, we should not be so so poor in any given case. Let the agitators and war-makers have a furious look and let them tell the people that, and let them die, we will be the people. The race has too much at stake and to deal with braggarts and blowards on the stump or in the forum. Many of the New Yorks are not the same as the New Yorks who do not own a foot of land, nor a bank account of Fifty Cents. If we have any problem, race, or otherwise, they are not prepared to help us to do it. Theirs are not to make them a situation graver and more intense. A very safe rule. In view of the misbelief that they are calculated to many, and the same now now, they are not ready to perpetuate, is "pass the agitators by Compulsory Education in Minneapolis.

The Aft American Insurance Association has adopted a roof over the heads of many thousands of car people in this State, and it is prepared to shelter jetties, boats, and other vessels. The best kind of industrial insurance policy, and that at the lowest possible rates consistent with first-class protection, is the Association insures men women and children from 5 cents to 50 cents each per week, and gives sick benefits ranging from $15.00 to $100.00, which pays all of its claims promptly and treats with the utmost consideration and respect, be he rich or be poor.

The Colored Institute has been gradual but not phenomenal. In the fourteen years since it opened its doors for the reception of students its teaching force has built up from one small brick main building to five large brick structures and two large frames. Beginning with the Normal Department it has added Domestic Arts, a Musical and Commercial department. All of these branches from the parent atom have developed and broadened to beautify and purify home life and West Virginia Colored Institute is not a servant training school. We are training our children to make better homes for themselves to beautify and purify home life and citizenship. It is sometimes remarked "if you want a trade go to the West Virginia Colored Institute. Our school is a trade school. It is not a trade school. It will fill a much needed niche in our race life, but it is more than a trade school, for it must be remembered that the trades can not be intellectually pursued by people ignorant of the trade, or farmer, means to have intelligence of a very high order.

The business activity of the race is now being conducted by the number of small enterprises conducted by individuals is being multiplied to a gratifying degree. Several females of the race in the military establishments, employment agencies, etc., to say nothing of the individual males who are engaged in grocery enterprises, transfer and baggage express and the military establishments. In a cooperative way is no less noticeable, insurance companies, butting and loan associations, and corporation department stores are indications not only of what may be happening in the race, but in increasing faith in race integrity.

REHABORATION DAY AT LOUISVILLE W. W. T. Vernon Mahoe Principal Address at Louisville-Burgart at Women's Club. Special Correspondence to Thu Acm. LOUISVILLE, January 1—Hon. W. T. Vernon, Registrar of the United States Treasury, was in this city January 1 to deliver the Emancipation address at the celebration of the 60d year of the freedom of the Afro-American. It was through Rev. L. G. Jordan, secretary of the Afro-American Council, that the citi- ness of this community got an opportunity to hear Mr. Vernon. While here he was entertained by Miss Nannie H. Bur- roughs, Col. B. W. Thompson, Rev. L. G. Jordan and Cary B. Lewis. His address was one that was greatly appreciated in this section. It was not political, but one of advice, encouragement and hope for future of the race. Throughout his speech he argued for better things that go to make good citizenship. He told most pathetically of the part that Negroes had to do to be free and tried to be of service to this great republic. His speeches of the work of Booster T. W. Washington and other race leaders. After dismemberment of peripose and the higher things that help his people to be brought to a favorable consideration of the American people in America since the Emancipation by without parallel is the history of the world. The spirit of the Anglo-Baxon for the American people by his former slaves, and the manhood and inductible worth which these former slaves have exhibited should appeal for fair treatment to the manhood of every American. To argue that education should be denied the right to argue against the best interests of the Government. But that is not that which knows its rights and is accorded it. It knows its wrongs and performs it. It knows a country and acts it cannot be made the mother of devotion. Upon which rests the nature of the republic. In war we have a record. we are not ashamed of. Let us not be content with our accomplishments. We must accomplishments be a guarantee of our future efforts. Utility of purpose and unity of effort have always meant much in the war. We should help the weakest. Those who age the light should point the way to those who do not see it. We should try to reform other than upward. To go among those with a Spirit of priest, showing them weaknesses, convicting them of their errors, giving a duty to them but a duty to ourselves. These weights that are about us must be changed to instruments or helpfulness, and we must labor for the masses. As we said in fliy Writ, "Rightcouness exalt a nation." So we must be able to work and a struggle for higher things of life will bring us the favorable consideration of the best people of America. We will give a banquet at the Women's Industrial club rooms. 728 W. Walnut street. He left W. Walnut street and Lexington, Ky.

A Freedom Political Party A Republican presidential Party The Republican party of New York State appears to have reached a point where it has no responsible leadership whatever, or such leadership as the rank and file of the party look to for advice and guidance. When Mr. Charles E. Hughes took the oath as Governor on the first instant this phase of the matter was made a great deal of by that large section of the New York press which affects to despise all party leadership and machine organisation—despite the fact that in our system of government party organisation and leadership are not only essential but indispensable. In the November election Mr. Hughes was the only man on the Republican State ticket who was elected, and the claim has been made by the Mugwump press that he was elected by Democratic votes—perhaps he was—and that on that account he is not responsible or amenable in any way to the Republican organization of the State which placed him at the head of its ticket—a process of reasoning which does not appeal to us as being either logical or just, as we never could understand how a creature can be greater than a creator in politics, or anything else. Governor Hughes appears to have mapped out his policy to suit himself and without consulting the leaders of the Republican party in the State, as the policy as outlined in his inaugural message indicates, and he has declared that he will not interfere in the least with the course of legislation but leave the legislators to their own devices, a thing never before done by a Governor of New York, and the result of which will be watched with interest by all students of politics in the State and the Nation. Mr. Hughes is a very strong man. We have no doubt that he will be equal to the task the people have imposed upon him; but we are sure he will have to develop a party of his own before he has one very far in the course of his administration. He can't get along without and the people expect him to get. That is what they made him Govor. Governor Hughes begins his term with a demoralized party organat his back. He did not demor- President Roosevelt did that. Hughes was nominated by he an party as Governor. evidently the policy of the President to destroy the old leadership of the publican party in New York State. I having accomplished that before the vember election, it must now be his ability to create within the next two years other leadership, if he can, as a party thou'r leadership is inconceivable, be une impossible. But where is the leader? We have failed to discover him in New York. Will he discover himself? Perhaps President Roosevelt will take over the leadership himself, after the next Presidential election, as it has been mooted that he will seek a seat in the Federal Senate when he retires from the Presidency. We shall see. And a realignment of partisans in New York State is also one of the things in the situation which is bound to come. The old order has passed away. Movement of the Afro-American Population There is evidenced from time to time a disturbance of mind of some people as to the movement of the Afro-American population; in the Southern States because it is not desired that Afro-Americans should leave the section, where they are so large a factor in the labor conditions, but where the inducements held out to them to remain are favorable neither in legislation nor public opinion, but the reverse, as the white South pursues the policy of rigorous oppression of the free laborer which it practiced toward its slave labor; while they are not entirely welcomed in the Northern and Western States, because their presence tends to disarrange the labor conditions, as we have not as yet reached a state of affairs in which white laborers are disposed to give black and yellow people an equal chance to earn their bread out of the sweat of their faces. in the case of Wilmington after the monarch there some years ago, the worthless, the fable and the vicious, in the late analysis, remaining. At the recent meeting of the Negro Academy, in Washington, Prof. Kelly Miller, of Howard University, read a paper on "The Labor Opportunities of the Negro in the North," the following synopsis of which we take from The Washington Post: He showed from statistics that the center of Negro population is moving to the Northwest; that but 8 per cent. of the blacks live in the Northern States, as against 5 per cent. forty years ago, and that there has been an great an increase in the Negro population of Georgia as in all the Northern States. Pred. Miller spoke of the large number of Negroes that came to Washington between 1880 and 1890, but showed that the inflax had ceased after that period, and prophesied that there would be a small increase in the next ten years. He said that the lot of the Negro was much harder in the North than in the South, and that he suffered much more because of his race. His social isolation was as marked and his numbers were small, and as a consequence he missed the opportunities of association with masses of his own kind. Like an animal in captivity, he said, the Negro refused to reproduce himself, and the numbers in the North grew not from the race there, but from immigration. The Negroes are not of sufficient numbers in the North, he asserted, to demand recognition by the unions, and are as a result shut out of the trades more than in the South. Negro waiters are not obtainable in sufficient numbers for a hotel in the North to employ them exclusively, and they could not be mixed with the whites. Similar examples were recited in various lines of work. Their opportunities are greater and their lives happier in the South, Prof. Miller said, and as a consequence there is no great movement North and little chance of such a strong movement being inaugurated. The preponderating mass of the Afro-American population of the Southern States would gain in percentage over the same population in the Northern and Western States by natural increase alone, so that the percentage basis will not account for much in the movement and present status of the population, more especially as a readjustment of population is now in progress more generally than at any time since the war. What the outcome will be is problematical. The large cities of the North and West have had a marvelous increase of Afro-American population in the past ten years, and the increase is growing instead of diminishing, because of the conditions in the Southern States which make for unrest. And it is to be hoped that the attitude of the law-making power of the Southern States and the public opinion behind it will see the folly of its past and present policy and change it for the general good. Private Ownership of Land Count Leo Tolstoy occupies a place in the social and political life of Russia and in the literature of the world all by himself. His vigor of intellect and his eccentricities as a man go hand in hand, and are equally celebrated at home and abroad. He has a thorough understanding of the Russian aristocracy, to which he belongs by birth, and of the Russian peasantry, with which he has identified himself to a large extent in thought, sympathy and association. He is the only man in Russia who stands above the terrors of the governmental system which curses the Russian people and against which they are striving to rid themselves, but with whose aspirations and methods to do so he does not wholly agree. His disposition is highly Quakerish, when there is any fighting to right wrongs to be done, and he does not think that the Russian people want self-government, or are ready to make the best use of it if they had it. He thinks that they want and need economic reforms more than political ones at this time. The Public Publishing Company of Chicago has rendered a public service in furnishing in convenient pamphlet form the recent thorough discussion of the Russian land problem by Count Tolstoy, under the title, "A Great Inquiry." It is a great one, and is of the greatest moment, not only to the Russian people, but the people everywhere who are confronted with the problem of the private ownership of land, the expropriation of the earth, whether by the state, by the aristocracy or, by individuals, the evils and disadvantages of which were set forth with so much force and eloquence by Henry George in his work on "Progress and Poverty," which made a great commotion in the world when it appeared some twenty years ago. But the principle contended for by Mr. George, which is very generally accepted as being sound, and embodying the essence of the natural law practiced by the Jewish nation, has found small acceptance, mainly because the practice is so general throughout the world that reversal of it seems out of the question. But that the land of a country should belong to all of the people and that they should derive all of the benefit from it will always remain an incontestible fact. Those who are interested in the subject can read to advantage the Jewish system of land tenure in the Bible, Mr George's exposition of it and the pamphlet by Count Tolstoy. The man who owns the land will own the man who uses it. This fact is not so apparent in a new country as in an old one, but it becomes more so the older a country grows and the land becomes concentrated in the hands of a few holders. This question of the private ownership of land is of the utmost importance at this time to Afro-Americans, especially those of them residing in the Southern States, where land is now comparatively cheap, but steadily rising in value as the volume of acreage becomes smaller by preemption. Afro-Americans should buy now, they should allow no opportunity to buy now to escape; while the land is as cheap as it will ever be; and the more land of all sorts they own—town, city and country land—the better will they and their progeny be for it in the long run. The ownership of land gives a man a position in every condition of locality different trap any other species of property, because land, like air and water, is one of the natural elements which is always a necessary condition of life and a ver vaniabon, never goes away, and is always an asset. Our readers in the Southern States should now allow no opportunity to buy land to escape. Is Separation of the Two Masses to Become Needed? In a thoughtful article in the January number of The American Magazine, a new and strong applicant for popular favor and support, Dr. Washington Glidden, discusses with sympathy and fulfillment of information, "The Negro Crisis," and seeks to answer the question "Is the Separation of the Two Races to Become Necessary?" He reaches the conclusion that the two races are to live in the South together, as he seems to take no stock in the deportation, immigration or expatriation schemes of Bishop Turner, John Temple Graven, Thomas Dixon, Jr., and the rest of them, but "whether the two races shall live there together or separately is the only possible question. They cannot live together unless both races have full opportunity to live a complete human life." That is clear enough. But what States are to be set aside for the Afro-American people, if that shall become necessary, and how the white people are to be got out of the States so set apart, and how they are to be kept out of them, are questions with which Dr. Glidden does not concern himself, but which cannot be ignored or whistled down the wind. We do not believe that any barriers high enough and thick enough can be raised in America or Africa or the islands of the sea to prevent white people from butting in where black people are. The fact of the matter appears to be that white people cannot keep away from black folks. Dr. Gladden quotes the following last and best words written by the late Carl Schwarz on the race question, and thinks that we have reached already the parting of the ways: "Here is the crucial point: There will be a movement either in the direction of reducing the Negroes to a permanent, condition of serfdom—the condition of the more plantation hand, 'alongside of the mule,' practically without any rights of citizenship—or a movement in the direction of recognizing him as a citizen in the full sense of the term, 'one or the other will prevail.'" Dr. Gladden thinks that the races need each other in the South, and that they could not separate or be separated without great loss to each other. In this he is right. But the reactionists who think that they can have the benefit of the Afro-American population as an economic force and basis of political apportionment on the slave basis and with the slave treatment are as great enemies of the South and of the Republic as those hothands who believed that slavery was a divine institution and that there was not enough will and power in the American people to root it out and crush the life out of it. They found out their error in time, but at a cost which staggered humanity. Are they preparing for a struggle of worse tragedy and horror and cost? We think they are; and so does Dr. Gladden and every other thoughtful citizen of the Republic. The white South, the white and thoughtful and decent part of it, should open its eyes to the great gulf which the political demagogues have been digging for it, for their selfish purposes, during the past forty years, one gang of diggers taking the place of another as the years come and go, but digging always, as their slave fathers did, toward the culmination of lightning and thunder and hail of fire which remorselessly follow in the wake of human error and stiff-neckedness. Harper's Weekly celebrated its fifteenth anniversary last week. It is a great news paper, and was never greater than it is now, under the editorship of George Harvey, although it enjoyed greater brilliance under the editorship of George William Curtis, and its greatest influence when Thomas Nast was its chief artist and by the magic of his genius for exposure overthrew the Tweed Iting. The illustration on the front page of the anniversary number begins with one of the Civil War and ends with one of the Spanish War. In the latter President Roosevelt on a horse, in Rough Rider uniform, is racing with a black soldier toward the enemy, with the latter fairly in the lead. Very good. There is not a chapter of American history in war or peace out of which the Afro-American can be left without destroying the truth of it. He is interwoven into the life of the Republic in the highest and the noblest way, and he cannot be torn out of it by any iconoclasm of the future, whatever may be the destiny of it. Harper's Weekly did much to assist the freedom of the Afro-American people and has shown a generous disposition toward him in his struggles as a citizen. We wish for the paper fifty years more of high and useful existence. Secretary Taft's Presidential boom will have a hard time of it getting by the obstructions Senators Foraker and Dick of Ohio will place in the way of it. When a man cannot control the delegates of his State in a National convention he will have a hard time of it making off with the nomination. --- Mr. James Creelman, a high commissioner of journalism, has dissected President Roosevelt for the readiness of Pearson's Magazine for January under the, suggestive heading, "Theodore, the Meddier," and we are bound to say he has produced a very readable article. He does not find that President Roosevelt is a different man as President from what he was in private life and in positions inferior to the one he now occupies; he simply has the field upon which to act out the program of progressive reforma which he has had in his mind from the beginning of his public life. The President is a man of the highest culture, which has not always been true of our Presidents, and of the most progressive as well as radical thought on all questions with which he has to deal, and of the most courageous character; altogether the sort of man who will make himself, felt and heard in whatever condition he finds himself. We have a strong President, and even when we do not agree with him we are bound to respect him and to give him credit for homesty of purpose in whatever he does. But She Turned to the Bustles of Home Rather Than the Crown of a Public Curve — An Intellectual, Lovely Woman. Special Correspondence to The Acm. Chicago, January 8. — The romantic life of the most famous of American Negroes, Frederick Douglas, was recalled a few days ago at Rochester, N. X., when a small group of mourners and sorrowing friends gathered about the remains of the late Rosetta Douglas Sprague, only daughter of the great Negro editor and abolitionist, who grew to womanhood. Mrs. Harpera died in the city of Washington, where she lived in close touch with her distinguished father, since he first took up his residence at the National capital about forty years ago. Three grown daughters accompanied the remains of their mother from Washington to Rochester, the early home of the Douglas family. Here a small remnant of the "old guard" first fifty years ago heroically and faithfully aided Douglas in his romantic efforts to secure his own freedom and that of his people, came together to pay its last tribute of respect to his much beloved daughter. It was a touching incident though but few present felt the tender significance of this common scene of death and mourning. It was in striking contrast with another scene of twelve years ago, when all Rochester put aside business and pleasure to pay its tribute, of respect and honor to the memory of Frederick Douglas and his body was followed by a vast throng of sorrowing citizens to its final resting place in beautiful Mount Hope. The funeral services a few days ago were simple, short but impressive. It easily suggested how time has reduced almost to the vanishing point the illustrious band of heroes and heroines who could recall Rosetta Douglas as the first child of color to timely apply for admission to the public schools of Rochester, and how the lion heart of her heroic father was wrung and aroused when she was refused admission "on account of color." They must also remember how he battled against this form of prejudice until every door of the public schools of Rochester not only swung wide open to the admission of his own children, but to every child of every race. It is true that the people of to-day can scarcely appreciate the poetry, the romance and the violent struggle for an all-inclusive liberty that are woven in the history of Douglass's escape from bondage and his continuous struggle through all the years of his life for a fighting chance for himself and his family. Mr. Douglass was a man of ardent family affection, and his fondness for the daughter, who but a few days ago followed him to rest in Mt. Hope, was one of the most beautiful facts of his strenuous career. Mrs. Sprague was mentally very bright, and inherited many of the superior attributes of her distinguished father. She went rapidly from school to academy and finally to Oberlin College. In those far off days when race prejudice was the strongest and most universal thing in America, Rosetta Douglass found the path to a diploma from an American college a rough and thorny one. It required all the inherited pluck and invincible will of her father to win the success she achieved. Mr. Douglas cherished all sorts of ambitions for his daughter. He wanted her in some way to become a sort of second self to him. Not in any narrow or selfish sense, but as a part of that larger liberty and triumph for the race he loved and served. In the dark days of the "forties" in this country a colored woman had no status; she was simply the female part of the slave or ex slave people. She was completely outside of everything that cares, protects and exalts womankind. Frederick Douglas saw all this and felt, more keenly than any man of his generation, that not only must his people be set free, but out of this raw human material there must be worked out and built up a race of men and women having all the attributes of social order and with standards for high achievements in things mental and spiritual. This beloved daughter, educated, refined, of gracious spirit and in heart accord with her father's ambition to save and serve his people, was to be dedicated to the cause of elevating the women of her race. Mr. Douglas felt that the work of educating and building up the social fabric of the race was quite as important as the physical emancipation of his people. In fact, he held that the struggles and sacrifices for emancipation were misspent unless the race freed could be made equal to the responsibilities of freedom. This was Mr. Douglas's program and ambition. He and his talented daughter were to be co-partners in this work of social regeneration. But, also! man proposes and woman disposes. As wise as Mr. Douglas was, he seemed to quite forget that a woman's first pre-operative is to love and to be loved and then to marry, and this is just what this dreamed-of heroine did. She married quite early in her womanhood. The responsibilities of home and the cares of motherhood not only absorbed but completely obscured her life. It is needless to say that Mr. Douglas was grievously disappointed in being thus deprived of the companionship and service of his daughter. The fact is, she really had no ambition for a public career, though she could have distinguished herself as a writer and lecturer had her ambition led her in these directions. Undoubtedly Rosetta's early marriage had an important bearing on Mr. Douglas's career. He was peculiarly dependent upon the companionship of educated and cultured women. He studied and wrote extensively and needed a companionship close enough to whom he could disclose his plans and to whose judgment he could appeal at all times. It is almost certain that Mr. Douglas would not have remarried after the death of his wife if he could have retained the companionship and assistance of his daughter, Rosetta; and it is also true that because of this turn in his affairs, many things are unpublished that would be an important contribution to the literature of the times. Mr. Douglas was a man of strong family affection. It was always a source of great satisfaction to him that all of his children were worthy of him, living honorable and upright lives. Rosetta Lewis, Charles Frederick and Anna are the names of his children. The only ones now living are Lewis and Charles, both of whom did honorable service in the famous 54th Massachusetts Infantry during the Civil War. The other daughter, Anna, of whom Mr. Douglas was very fond, died during his temporary refuge in England, where he fled from the wrath of the Virginia people who sought to implicate him in the John Brown invasion. Editor Murphy is Reminended. From The Baltimore Afro-American J From The Baltimore Afro-American Ledger. A Texas Congressman wants to establish a republic in Africa for the Afro-Americans in this country and it is said that he will introduce a bill in Congress to that effect. This reminds us of what the Duke of Cumberland or some other fellow said to Harry Hotapur and Harry Hotapur's reply. The Duke said he could call spirits from the vasty deep. "But," said Hotapur, "will they come?" If the Republic is established will the Negro go? IN THE PUBLIC WASHINGTON, January 5.—The great number of lying articles hatched in the wicked brains and prejudiced hearts of blatant and ranting rip-snorters and published in scores of American white journals concerning Afro-American deprivacy in order to alienate his white friends and person public opinion against him arouses suspicion that as monumental liars of world old Ananias and Sapphira have supplanted by these writers. In their brutal acers, their appeal prejudice rather than to reason, while of the demagogic kind and barren of or specification, they grossly and shamelessly charge the whole Afro-American race with the slurs and crimes of its tough and lawless element. Is this fair? Any one with an unaware conscience and an unbled heart will answer in the negative. The entire white race is not thus branded for the wrongdoings of its criminal class. Why not make this distinction with the Afro-American race? While denouncing and punishing the deeds of the bad element, why not encourage and protect the law-abiding or better element? The Afro-American race is not so egotistic and Phariseal as to claim a monopoly of all the virtues. As human nature is the same everywhere, they know that all the white people are not angels, and all the black people are not devils. There are good and bad people in every nationality; black sheep in every race. The Apostle Paul (Romans III., 22-23) says: "For there is no difference: for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." We simply quote this passage of Scripture for the cogitation of these mischievous writers and to call attention to the beams in the eyes of their people to prevent them, if possible, from breaking their necks trying to find the motes in the eyes of the black people. Why strain at a gnat and swallow a camel? The Afro-American race does not envy the virtues of any race. It can show as clean a bill of moral health as any other race which is generally held up as a model of moral perfection. The best class of Afro-Americans, like the best class of Anglo-Saxons, draw the moral line of distinction. The household of Jacob of Biblical fame had some strange gods among them, and he ordered them to get awe, and make themselves clean and to change their garments in token of their purity. This is done as promptly to-day in the black race as in the white. Counterfeit diamonds may sparkle, but an expert will soon find out that they are false. Counterfeit money may circulate for quite a while, but eventually the keen eye of Uncle Sam will detect it. It was Aesop who told of a sly wolf that got tired hunting and thought out a scheme to make an easier livelihood. He put on sheep's clothing, which deceived the shepherd, got among the sheep and fed sumptuously with them for several days. One night the shepherd, having an appetite for sheep, concluded to kill one for supper. Not knowing the difference, as all sheep looked alike to him, he killed the wolf. So you see a wolf may practice deception while strutting in sheep's clothing, but some uncontrollable circumstance, in an unexpected moment, will strip him and leave him naked and shivering. This is true of all races. The newspapers are full of accounts of the moral turpitude of all races, and what they fail to scent and run down the tongues of the new-mongers catch up and hash and rehash. Since this is true, is it fair to throw the mantle of charity over the sins of the wicked element of the white race, and, on the other hand, maliciously hold up to public gaze the sins of the same element of the black race and also charge the whole black race with being no better morally than they! Say, listen. People with stolen goods in their pockets are not in a position to cry: "shop thief!" In his annual message to Congress, President Roosevelt quoted Gov.

New Haven, Conn., January 2, 1907. o Should Have Insurance Companies of Our Own. the Editor of The New York AOE: I read with considerable interest and assure a recent newspaper article which tates that after January 1 certain white insurance companies will issue no more policies to Negroes. If only the statement e true it will be one of the best things hat ever happened to us. For some years, with disgust and helpless rage, I have seen the smug, impudent, ill-mannered agents of white insurance companies going from house to house gathering in the hard-earned pennies of Negroes to swell the already burrowing coffers of these companies. As the article states, the holder of the policy pays from 15 to 35 cents per week; in other words from 60 to $1.40 per month, and receives at death from $50 to $150, perhaps. Between the taking of the policy and its maturing many pitfalls await the unwary, and as the policy-holders in such companies are usually poor and often ignorant every advantage taken of them. here are colored insurance companies h will gladly make out policies for and all justifiable risks.

She is Place Well, on Afro-American Who Was Left $10,000 By the Will- Will Sue in Tune—Lord Charles and Lord Marvous Coming. From The New York World. LONDON, January 4.—Lord Charles Berenford and Lord Marcos Berenford will soon leave for the United States to take over and realise the estate of their brother, Lord Delaval, who was killed in a railroad wreck in North Dakota. The estate, roughly estimated at $100.000, was left by Lord Delaval to be divided equally between them and the son of the late Lord William Berenford, another brother, who was the husband of Lily Duchess of Marlborough. Even Though I Am a Negro, I Was His Wife. EL PASO, Tex., January 4.—Declaring that she was Lord Delaval Berenford's wife, Flora Wolf, the mulatto woman who was left $10,000 by him, has an announced her intention of contesting the will of the rich Englishman who was killed in a railroad accident in Nort Dakota recently. She is at present staying in a rooming house in the southern part of this city. "For twenty years," she said to-day. "I lived with Lord Bereasford as his wife. All over the State of Chihuahua, in Mexico, I was known as 'Mrs. Bereasford' and 'Lady Bereasford.' We lived as man and wife and he never denied it. Now I propose to have a widow's share in his estate. "I met Lord Bereasford in Chihuahua about twenty-two years ago. I was then working at the home of the American Consul in that city. I went there with a relative of Governor Anthony of Kansas, and when offered a position decided to stay there. Lord Bereasford came to Chihuahua after he had invested in some Mexican ranch properties. He was about twenty-three years old and I was nineteen. We met there, liked each other and decided to live together. "There was no legal marriage, as we did not consider it necessary. We first went to the Santo Domingo ranch, near Ahumada, where we lived for some time. Then we moved to another ranch up in the mountains, and finally we moved to the Ojitos ranch, where we stayed for a number of years. We have been so long together that I do not remember the exact number. We often came to El Paso together and I bought goods around town, having them charged to Lord Bresford. What I bought was as much for him as for myself. He told people here I was his wife and we lived together and recognized each other as husband and wife, as other people do. "About three months ago he left to go to Canada to sell a farm there. When he returned it was our intention to have been legally married in Mexico. Just before he went away he said to me he thought that it would be better if this were done. "I knew how the will that has been found was made out, but Lord Bercersford had promised me that he would make another one leaving the greater part of the estate to me. I think that a will of that kind will eventually be discovered. But if it is not found I have no fear as to the result. "Under the Mexican laws we were man and wife, and I will ask for my part of the property. I do not propose to work a lifetime and get nothing for it. Even though I am a Negro, I was his wife. I am glad that we lived in Mexico and that I will have the protection of the Mexican laws, for I know that a person with dark skin does not get much justice in Texas. "I will leave in a few days and return to the ranch. All the household goods there are mine. I have in addition in my own name some property and cattle in Casas Granades, and I will not go hungry by any means. I have a lawyer in Juarez whom I will engage to work for me in the case and I will live on the ranch until Lord Beresford's brother comes over from England." During the years that she lived with Beresford in Mexico, the woman says that Beresford returned to England several times, the last trip being made three years ago. He carried on a correspondence with his brothers, but heard more frequently from Marcus. The other brother, Lord Charles, Admiral of the British Navy, did not write so often because of being away on long cruises. The Wolf woman is now past forty. She bears traces of former beauty. She has a fair education and speaks Spanish as well as English fluently. According to her estimate the Beresford estate is worth over one million dollars. She says Beresford was "a good man."

ALL Christian Nations Except the United States, Russia and Switzerland and a Few Minor Powers are Working Afrien for What They Can Get Out of It. From The New York Press. That King 'Leopold has no monopoly of barbarianism in Africa is the testimony which Dr. Louis L. Seaman offers to the National Geographic Society, after a personal investigation. When we hear from this authentic source that "all the Christian nations of Europe, with the exception of Russia, Switzerland and a few minor powers, are at present engaged in the so-called 'civilization' of the Dark Continent, each after a fashion of its own but all by methods equally dimestrous to the lives and happiness of the natives of the soil," the cynical influences of the Powers to the birth-ery of women and children in the Codojo are easily accounted for. The extent to which the land-hungry nations have gone in Africa is little understood. Dr. Stephan summarizes concisely the situation as it exists: The people of that great Continent are suffering under the weight of the much colonization. Great Britain has undertaken a permanent occupation of Egypt and has now been forced away to the Soudan; to Victoria' Nyana, and thence eastward to the Indian Ocean. Italy has seized considerable stretches of Algeria along the Red Sea and to the south of the straits of Bab ol-Mandeb. The Germans have extended their sphere of influence over the region lying between Lake Tanganyaka and the Indian Ocean, the region now known as German East Africa; they have also asserted authority over extensive territories lying on the Atlantic known as German West Africa, and over a district adjoining the French Congo called Kamerun. Portugal, since the days of the great explorer vico da Gama, has held through the right of discovery the territory lying between German East Africa and Zululand, while France has absorbed successively Algeria, Madagascar, the major portion of the great desert of Sahara, Senegambia and the region stretching northward to the Atlantic coast, with the exception of Liberia and a few other comparatively unimportant sects. England has awailed the remalder, B. Investigation by Dr. Gaman tends to show that there is little choice between the methods by which the King of the Belgians holds the Congo natives under his voke and those by which the rival Powers are catering to their insatiable lust for territory. The Britons are butchering the Zulux, the French are slaughtering the natives of the Nile, the Swahili are conducting his brutal wars against the Somali and the Hereros. So the Belgian King is not the only Christian ruler deserving the exorcation of the lovers of their fellow men. Our investigator of colonial abuses makes our a strong case in favor of his theory that Great Britain means to take commercial advantage of the agitation against King Leopold's rule in the Congo, in order that she may seize what she needs of the country to give her opportunity for the development of the Capetoro-Cairo railway, exclusively through British soil, at the same time seizing the rich mineral zone and the rubber trade that now goes to Antwerp. "The elective affinity between an Englishman and a gold mine," says the author of this paper, "is remarkable." Dr. Seaman doubts that the lot of the maimed Congo slaves will be improved by transfer from the Belgian to the British tyrant. A better remedy must be had. He cites Englishmen as his authority for the charges of cruelty and extortion practiced by British rule under the "chartered company" pretext in Zululand and Natal. The policy of Clive and Hastings in India and the opium infamy in China were no worse in their effects on the objects of the tender solicitude of those who assume such a large share of the "white man's burden." Perhaps the severest indictment is the one which Dr. Seaman draws against the German Emperor. The savagery of the German policy in Africa is now the issue in an election which the empire is holding because the Reichstag refused to underwrite the atrocities upon the natives. Dr. Seaman says: I have recently returned from witnessing scenes of such revolting horror in German East Africa that could doubt whether killing perpetrators in the Congo State and certified in the indictment framed by Leopolda Commission of Inquiry, could surpass them. In many of the towns I visited were examples of official murder, licensed plunder and unrestrained barbarity. These crimes were committed in the name and under the guise of civilization by colonization. In the small town of Kilwa, which has only forty white inhabitants, there were on the occasion of my visit last summer 800 native prisoners, 400 of whom were to be taken from their families and homes in manacles, to Dares-Salaam, by our vessel on her return voyage, there to be employed in the jungle in railway construction. Thousands of others are engaged in this or similar work. Fifty-three prisoners were recently shot there in public view, to bring, home to their onlooking friends the conviction of the superiority of the perfected German rife. King George hired Hessians to fight his battles. Kaiser Wilhelm impresses cunibals to harry the Somali and Hereros. Before the advent of Stanley's expedition, Dr. Seaman found, "a man might walk through Africa from one end to the other with a welcome anywhere, if his face was white." Livingstone never took a life. But "Stanley's cruelties to the natives, often shooting them, when they failed to supply his subsistence training, his refusal to pay for goods delivered and his brutal treatment of his carriers, are said by residents of Zanzibar, where he fitted out his expedition, to have retarded African civilization a hundred years." A continuance of the policy of cruelty by the invaders is rapidly creating a dread and hatred of the white man throughout the entire native population of Africa. It is reported from any quarters that this feeling is already betraying itself throughout the vast dominion of one Sioux and the vast dominion dread of the Britton and Hoer alike in Zulukland and South Africa, where the bushman is hunted like a wolf and shot on sight, because of his patriotism and his refusal to submit to the cruel domination of the conqueror, and it may easily spread southward and northward until the entire Continent of Africa is filled with hostility to the native people, after twenty years ago undermined by triumphant Danish This Company has as its principal object the better housing of the Negro Tenant Class. As a result of its operation for a period of a little over a year it can point to the control of twenty-five (25) New York City Agreements, Houston, valued at over Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($900,000). Nine (9) of this number the Company own, and the other almost (25) are held by the Company under long lease. There have read for Ninety Thousand Dollars ($900,000 a year).

The Immigration celebration under the management of the Committee of One Hundred, with an incidental protest against the action of President Reservoir in dismissing three companies of the Twenty-fourth Bedroom without honor, drew only a moderate petition to Cooper Union last Thursday to urge the president of Africa America, but there was a liberal spiraling of whites throughout the hall. The Rev. Charles S. Morris presided. Gen. H. H. Trumann, president of the Republican Club, presented a memorial to Congress calling for justice for the race and for protection for those from discriminatory practices. An important tribunal to investigate the conduct of the discharged soldiers. The memorial was adopted. The speaker criticized severely the message of the President to Congress on the Brownville incident. He told the audience that the President had said that the evidence against the soldiers was so strong that he could not be versed. "Why talk about evidence?" asked the speaker, "when no court has ever been convened to pass upon the matter?" Hon. D. Augustus Biraker. Formerly circuit commissioner of Detroit, was down on the program as the principal speaker, but he was handicapped cold. He said the President's decision was great injustice to the soldiers who were discharged because they had no chance to defend themselves. "We are not here to abuse the President, but we want Booneville to understand that we have a conscience to understand that we will all justice in this case," said the speaker. He concluded: "the moral effect of the discharge without honor of Companies B C, and D of the 25th Infantry from the service of the United States army is deeper and more widespread than the casual observer would think. The curse of the senator's disloyalty to the North and the word dishonor is a stigma more blighting than the word conviction. The former is of slow decay, the latter may be erased by executive pardon. The latter may be the result; of misfortune, the error of judgment; the former decrees deprivacy of character. It works an attaint and follows from father to son, even to the third and fourth generation. In this case, do the accuser prove that the accused was guilty, if even they had been found guilty upon trial and given the constitutional right to meet their accusers face to face with their witnesses? Does not he, who even stands mute upon civil trial, obtain the plea of not guilty entered for him and a due and formal trial given him? Is silence proof of guilt? If so, how often did not our Sarfour refuse to answer his accuser? If so, how many accusations made against him by His persecutors? It may be said, the discharge only affects 167 men, and they are not the first nor will they be the last who have suffered from injustice. True, if you cut out the word 'dishonor.' This blow strikes the race. It is delivered by a friend, a true and tried friend, who has been too easily led from the path of injustice by the bogus accuser of the North and South. In these words, sung by Southern doughfaces, what horrible crimes have been committed against the Negro in the South and pallied by the North, or totally ignored? "It is of more importance to the dignity of the Nation that one or more of its soldiers should 'shoot up the town' in which one man is killed by an unknown hand than that one of its soldiers, be black or white, shall be assaulted in uniform and knocked down upon the highway by a white lady, because he does not leave the sidewalk on approaching them, or that he may be insulted with impunity by United States white customs officers without cause or provocation. Mark me, the grist of the whole Brownville affair lies in the supposed insult offered a white man and lady, who is interrupted in conversation by the Southern dignity is offended and must be explicated; a sacrifice must be had; faces must be blacked and khaki uniforms thrown away by the soldiers must be used for misrepresentation. Is not all this done in lynching Negroes in the South? No one knows all this better than President Roosevelt. That he has erased is patent, but it is human. Let him correct his error and do justice, which is more honorable than to Congress. This is a republican and like the discharge is not in accordance with the genius of republican institutions. A trial must be had if necessary, and let the guilty be punished and the innocent go free. But the grand jury of Cameron county, Texas, before which a large number of the 25th Infantry was accused of conspiracy, plot and 190th Infantry was accused of the 33rd Infantry, Brownville, the first in America, failed to indict a single member of the accused and released them. "The cause of all this is Southern oppression of the Negro and prejudice against the race as an inferior class. How remedy that? The present condition and treatment of the Negro in the South is due to the denial of an effective suffrage. The Negro does not want bayonets but the ballot for his protection. As was said by an experienced statesman, government can safely safety have bayonets so like the South can not long last as a government of a part only of the people supported by the rope and the torch. "So long as the ballot is denied the colored voter in the South, so long will power North and South disrespect him and disregard his civil rights. The Negro wants the ballot: for self-respect as well as self-protection. Had he the ballot in Texas the Brownville flasco would have never occurred. Had he the ballot in South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana lynching and bloodshed. In spite of all wrong done us, the future "In solte of all wrong done us, the future is Lopeful.

The new work of the Christian oration, repite with sound, common words, he offered with a very limited period, he was a good one on such a occasion. His subject was to Our Complimentation. whom he said: "We believe in the operation that broadens the mind, trains the heart in complete obedience to the will of God. In other words, we believe we should have wisdom to guide us, love us, beauty to adorn us, and strength to support us and our work should be to do the will of God, and earth to us should be as heaven. "Why should we not converse with the ancient nations of the earth and know the ancient nations and habit and appropriate to our selves and those that served to make them great and representative men of their times? Why should we not roam over the long range of the earth and why should we not pleure the very core of our culture and modern literature and the fine arts?" Why should the education of the Negro be the same? Why not let him be the industrialists and make him the industrialists? And make of him the great and symmetrical man, that he should be, with a mind, body and sensations upon each other and he a creature of length and height, the languages the admiration of both earth and heaven.

Start a because a count to-day and add to it weekly until you have a little cash to your credit. And then invest the same in a paying business and in this to endeavor to serve your day and generation. If you're a good becoming manner.

Ideal manhood is one of our sorest needs; and while the market is ever crowded with shapes and faces it is over secreter of them. We need them to follow the men. Yes! But from whence are they to come? I another, must produce them ourselves! We need them now, men of larger calibre than we have to man our pulips, to develop and manage our commercial interests; to provide our enterprises which shall contribute to the growth of the race; men of thought, men of action, who will be the own genius invent schemes which will capture the patronage of the race and turn the constant stream of our earnings back among ourselves. Men under whose leadership must find themselves continuously growing better, whose richer the things essential to our prosperity and our peace. We need men to plead our cause in the councils of the nation and to represent us in the great galaxy of the world's thinkers.
