ERROR CANNOT LONG PREVAIL WHEN TRUTH IS LEFT FREE TO COMBAT IT. NEW YORK ACK, MR. T. Thomas Fortune, received an ovation when he was introduced by the Bishop. His friends said it was the best speech they had ever heard him make, and he can always make a good one, and the audience laughed and- applauded his witty, caustic and thoughtful remarks from beginning to end. "We have plenty of leaders and no followers," said Mr. Fortune. "A man who cannot obey orders is not capable of commanding. Talk has moved the world, Agitate! agitate! Since the dismissal of the colored troops, we have had orators to burn. Let us now stop talking and do something. Let us raise the money to prosecute the injustice in the courts. In my paper I have been calling for the sinews of war to do this, and how much do you think I have received from ten millions of our people who feel outraged over the affair? Why, just $12. The difficulty with our race, it is not support its leaders, its preachers, lawyers, newspapers, etc. I do not know one of our preachers who is getting a salary that I would work for. A man who thinks is worth more than one who does not think. "We have come upon very serious time," said Mr. Fortune, "and it requires all of us to be very thoughtful conservative and positive. No need to fly off the handle and get hot in the collar. This is not a question of politics, but one of principle, which involves all the people of the United States. By dismissing the troops without a court martial, or civil trial, the President has outraged a fundamental principle of citizenship. The ablest newsmen and the best sentiment of the country have the President, the Secretary of War and the Attorney-General on the run. Let us not try to make this a race issue. Let us not abuse the President, but differ with him firm-dignity, with positiveness, with firmness in the right. If the ten millions of Afro-American people would only pay one penny a month, they would have money enough to employ the best legal talent to contest every right that belongs to them. Will they back up their talk with cash?" J. Douglas Wetmore, Counselor for the Council, a pleasing speaker, said: "The keen injustice inflicted upon the colored soldiers by the President, the Atlanta riot and other indignities have caused such papers as The New York Sun and The New York Times, that do not lose the Negro to say that we must the Negro question again.

EARTHQUAKE IN KINGSTON WEST INDIAN PRIDE IN RUINS The Shock Came Suddenly and Was Followed by the Wildest Confusion and Disorder. From The New York Evening Journal. St. Thomas, D. W. I., January 16.—One terrific shock that sent buildings tumbling into piles of blazing ruins, crushing men, women and children to death, coming without an instant's warning, destroyed a great part of the city of Kingston, Jamaica. From 100 to 1,000 persons, according to varying reports, are dead in the ruins. Scorea, trapped in the debris, were roasted to death in the flames that swept over the ruined city. Four more shocks quickly followed the first, and then came a trembling of the earth that gradually subsided, but the great destruction had been caused by the first shock. Panic came on the heels of the earthquake crash. Mobs, frenzied by fear, rushed through the shaking streets for the suburbs, unheeding the cries of anguish and appeals for help from those crushed and dying in the blazing ruins. The Military hospital was among the buildings that went down with a crash. More than thirty soldiers were buried in the ruins and were roasted to death in the fire that was soon spreading through the city. The greatest destruction occurred in the business section of the city, the central part, where business houses and dwellings alike fell into piles of ruins. For a time the terror was so great that the survivors thought only of saving themselves and there was no attempt at rescuing the injured or effort to check the flames. As the greater part of the buildings of the city were wooden the fire spread with incredible rapidity. The fire department was demoralized and for a time useless. In a short time bands of robbers were at work and, with the flames roaring around them, began pillaging wrecked buildings and homes from which the occupants had fled. Many had died in the crush of the tumbling walls, and many others were killed by being caught in the tangle of live electric wires. When the terror and demoralization were at their height, Sir Alfred Jones, who is at the head of a visiting expedition, of notable Englishmen, consulted with the Governor and urged instant measures of control. All the troops available were rushed to the city's principal and succeeded, after severe treatments, in bringing about some- nterms Gets There.

ARKANSAS STATE BUSINESS LEAGUE'S GREAT MEETING AT LITTLE ROCK Special Correspondence to THE ACK LITTLE ROCK, Ark., January 16.—The Arkansas State Business Men's League and its annual session in Little Rock, December 26-28. From a point of attendance and general interest it was the banner session of the League's existence in Arkansas. The most representative Afro-Americans of the State were present, and a wide range of subjects, touching upon the economic development of the race were discussed. Several weeks prior to the convening of the League, Secretary J. H. McConico drafted and mailed out to the various local Leagues of the State the following general subjects that would come before the State meeting: "The Negro as a Factor in Agriculture; How much farm land he owns and the gross value of his farm products;" "The Status of the Negro in the Mechanical Arts; How many are engaged in Carpentry, Masonry, Blacksmithing, Plumbing, etc.;" "The Extent to which Negroes are engaged in Commercial Purchases—Mercantile, Realty and Banking Business;" "The Growth of the Churches, Property Valuation, Financial Condition, etc.;" "The Manner in which the Fraternal Organizations of the State benefit the people, their numerical strength and financial condition;" "The Educational Growth of the Race in Arkansas—His Entire and Progress in the Professions." A program of 37 addressers, touching upon the above subjects, was prepared, and when the League opened at noon, December 26, the auditorium of the Froderick Douglass Club, where the meeting was held, was packed to the doors. The meeting was an eye-opener to the most pessimistic. The addresses of the various speakers brought out the facts that the churches of the State own church and school property valued at no less than $100,000. The benefit departments of the Fraternal Organizations of the State paid during the year upwards of $150,000. The Afro-American insurance companies of the State are employing 200 young men and women, paying salaries ranging from $8.00 to $15.00 per week. The demand for good mechanics in the larger cities of the State is greater than the supply, not to do building for white people, but for Afro-Americans only. Professional men have all that they can do. The Afro-American farmers brought down the house, when they said that the cry of labor scarcity on the farms did not mean that the Afro-American had deserted the farm, but so many of them had bought farms of their own that they had no time to live out and work other people's farms. Hon. J. E. Bush and M. W. Gibb both lifetime members of the National League, were in constant attendance and served as a rudder for the meetings. Whenever the boys would get too enthusiastic and the discussion would drift into the wrong channels, the two old Romans were on their feet in an instant, and in a few moments things would be headed in the right direction. During the summer of 1907, the League is going to hold an educational congress in the city of Little Rock. Efforts will be made to create a greater interest in the educational work of the State. A commission was also appointed to work up an Afro-American State Fair. This commission will report at the annual session of the League in 1907 and a date for the fair will be set. All the old officers were elected unanimously. J. M. Connor, president; Wm. Alexander, vice-president; J. I. Blakeley, treasurer; J. H. McConico, secretary. Executive Committee; J. F.

But South Carolina by Half Only. COLUMBIA, S. C., January 10.—By a vote of 79 to 40, the House of Representatives to-day declined, to concur in the resolution introduced in the Senate by Senator Cole L. Blease, and passed by that body, 21 to 16 yesterday, approving the course of President Roosevelt in summarily dismissing the Negro troops implicated in the Brownville riot. When the resolution was called up it was urged that the resolution was intended as a rebuke to the senior United States Senator from this State, and that such an indirect and covert method of indicating to the National Representatives of the State the wishes and opinions of the House would be both undignified and insulting. Which Senator Tillman Explains. WASHINGTON, January 10.—"I do not consider that Col. Please, who introduced the resolution, understands the situation at all or understands the facts," said Mr. Tillman. "Those who passed the resolution probably misconceived my attitude. They have but a vague idea of the essential absurdity, of the act of the President. He has gone too far in discharging innocent Negroes and not far enough in punishing the guilty. Still, there is no doubt in my mind that he exceeded his power in providing that the members of the Negro troops discharged could not serve under the Civil Service in future. His Executive orders have gone so far beyond his Constitutional authority that they seem to be promulgated without any thought that there are legal limitations put upon his authority as President."

SINFUL CITY REPENTANT. CHICAGO IN THE MIDST OF A RELIGIOUS REVIVAL. Struggling Crowds of Frenzied Sunroof Flock to Hear Imported Brangoliate at the Great Auditorium—Energetic Salesman, Flida Customers for 600 Phones During the Year—Minutes of the "How to Live Club" Appeals to the Outside World for Social Utility CHICAGO, January 12.—The season of religious revivals with us, and this sinister town is getting into a freeway of repentance. Some of the greatest evangelists of American and England are camped in the city, and vigorously exhorting sinners to sin no more. They are everywhere followed by an overwhelming crowd struggling to hear and see and perchance be amitten by their power. The great Auditorium seating five thousand people, the largest theaters, and the largest churches, are altogether inadequate to accommodate the immense crowds of those apparently eager seekers for salvation. For the nonce at least, the religion of the lowly Nasarene is carrying out its mission of leaving all ranks by bringing to their knees at the same shrine the rich and the poor, the black and the white, and all kinds and conditions of man. At no other time do these arrogant Saxons stop to study the real meaning of "the Fatherhood of God, and the Brotherhood of man." The sin of Adam and the redemption of Calvary are inclusive and vouchsafed to all or none. It is a pity that the sin of race hatred is only implied and not written deep in the creeds of all the churches and exacted in all the confessions of faith. As it is now, one may keep the letter of all the Commandments and yet grievously sin in his relationship to his fellow men of different tongues and com-lexion. Whatever other races may think or do in their relationships to their fellow men, let the Afro-American save himself from the debilitating sin of mere completion hatred. If such hatred is not inhuman, it should be made so. Love exalts and race hatred debilitates. The hundreds of converts being made in Chicago by means of the fervid eloquence and efforts of Gynae Smith, Dr. Torrey and others, will add but little to the sum total of human goodness, unless their hearts are made strong for human fellowship and brotherhood to all mankind. These imported evangelists, however, are not the only ones who are trying to bring to this wicked city a new baptism of righteousness. In some of our big colored churches, like the Bethel A. M. E. and the Olivet Baptist, crowded meetings are being held, and many conversions reported. It is to be hoped that the good work will go on until it will be safe to reduce the police force, discharge a goodly number of the officials in the Criminal Courts, and make the Divorce Court merely a place of disagreeable reminiscences. It is only in results like these that the real and practical value of these aporadic efforts, called revivals, will attract the skeptic and justify the apparent crase for a new sensation. There came to our notice a few days ago an interesting example of what our young men can do as business men when given a chance. A young colored man holding a responsible position is one of our big piano houses sold by his own individual efforts 480 pianos during last year. In addition to his salary of $25 per week, he receives a liberal commission on each piano sold. It is needless to say that the proprietors of this house will not discharge this particular salesman on account of his color. An examination of the records of our young men who are given a fair chance in business houses shows that they are as efficient as any other class of young men, having the same opportunities. It is also significant to note that our young people, who have won for themselves responsible positions are seldom discharged for inefficiency or dishonesty. In one of the first class shoe stores in the city there is a young colored man who has held the position of salesman on the open floor of the store for the last three years. He is popular and wonderfully successful in his sales. The loss of such a salesman would mean the loss of business to the firm, so they cling to their colored salesman. It is in these ways that a little here and a little there that prejudice against the employment of our bright men and women is to be disarmed and merit gain the mastery over caste. From a little gown way down in the State of Georgia has come a Macedonian cry for helpfulness of a kind that is seldom sought. It is not money, or Bibles or schools or churches that form the burden of this plea, but for some suggestions "how to live." This appealing message comes from a group of women who, call themselves the "How to Live Club." The husbands of these enterprising women have also been inspired to organize themselves into a Civic Association for the purpose of co-operating with the women by making the exterior of the homes more attractive and covering the surrounding waste places with flowering vines and trees. The writer of this appeal for Northern assistance also complains that the entire social life of the community is being poisoned and blighted by a tendency to indulge in ugly gossip and petty back-biting toward each other. They have started out to better the social conditions by casting out these hateful tendencies. They plead for suggestions and topics for program and discussion that shall help to make gossip hateful, and that shall tend to purify and exalt the hearts and minds of the people. They ask for the names of good books and suggestive pictures that will make for good taste, social ideals and a more refined home life. This appeal to the outside world for social uplift is both interesting and encouraging. The cry this out of way club of colored men for and inspiration in work for The C tion. W to ar.

The Position of Senator Lodge Stated In His Monday Speech Sanctuary One Man Power and Destruction of Rep- bishment Government — Have We Reached the Parting of the Ways? Senator Furcher as David in the Stimulation. WASHINGTON, January 14.—Was it an accident or a coincidence, or was it a miracle, the Executive order which sends all the colored troops of the regular army out of the country just at this particular time? If an accident it is a mighty queen; if a coincidence it is a mighty strange one, but if a miracle it is one of those wonder works which no one outside of the official family of the autocratic head of the American army need try to understand. For the same flat Executive authority which can discharge without honor and without trial of any kind 167 soldiers of that army, which can deny to those soldiers, the right of re-enlistment on a mere presumption of their guilt and inducement of their punishment, deference implicating all of them or any one of them in the "shooting up" of the town of Brownville, which can deprive them not for a year, but forever of the common right of American citizens to employment under their government—this same tremendous flat Executive authority, those regiments, go to the ends of the earth, because it is my sweet pleasure to have you go to the ends of the earth, and it is not for you, nor for your friends, nor for the Congress of the United States to ask the reason why. For I am the great American Alpha I am the great American Alpha I am the State, the all-efficient law, constitutional and otherwise, unto myself. This new American God of War has been moving lo, these many weeks now in "mischievous" ways toward the colored soldier, toward the colored man and brother, and this latest movement of his in sending to the Philippines all of the colored regiments of the American army and the other movements touching the colored man and brother, American soldier and citizen. He is bereafter to have no rights which the high and mighty occupant of the White House may feel himself as President bound to respect. The Supreme Court's decision in the case of Dred Scot finds a new champion in the head of the Army and Navy of the great Republic. He is no longer the apostle of the "square ill" man on the equally contrary, for he has become the impersonation of injustice and inequality in his dealings with the colored soldier. Supreme power has gone like the fumes of strong drink to the head of the President, and he is reeling under the influence of it. He is the head of the Nation at a momentous crisis in its history, a crisis which at its close will determine the character of its government, of its institutions for long years to come. What is that government-to-be, and what are those institutions to be, Republican or imperial? The Nation is face to face with a crisis, is face to the parting of the ways of government of the people, and by the people, and of that: other government of one man, for a far-greed few, and by that one man for that favored few. Disguise the national situation in respect to this threatened change in the character of our government of our in situations, as we may, under all of our disguises it is there actual, imminent, full of peril to the perpetuity of our Ameri- cation, and we must preserve the principles. The country is in that state to its transition from Republican to im- perial government and powers that water in a vessel is when it is on the verge of freezing. A slight jar is enough to convert the water into solid ice. So it will be with our free institutions, with our republican form of government; a strong, willful White House may prove sufficient to subvert the constitution, and to convert the Republic into a great western empire, and to endow the head of it with vast and autocratic powers on just such a plea as that made by Senator Lodge in the Senate on last Monday in defence of the Dacronian decree discharging without regard any kind 167 soldiers of the 25th Infantry, on a mere presumption or suspicion of their guilt on the part of the head of the army, who in his civil capacity governs under the constitution, but in his military he may in time of peace govern the army above that instrument. As Senator Lodge puts it American civilians are the greatest against the arbitrary rule of the President, and censes the moment these same American citizens enter the army and become soldiers of the Republic. As soldiers they are subject to despotic will of the occupant of the White House who may discharge one of them or the whole army of them without honor or trial of any kind, and therefore they have facts of their case whether they are guilty of charges preferred against them and on which the head of the army has chosen to base his arbitrary order of discharge. Enlarge the army in time of peace, do so year after year as we are now year after year enlarging the navy, and what will happen in the near future? America have hundreds of thousands of soldiers have率领 their ships in a strategic action of the Commander-in-Chief of the army and navy, forming breeding beds in fact for the growth of depotic power on the part of the President. Two things happen with the exercise of such a power on the part of one man over another: the army feeds on the thing it feeds on, and the people who begin with submission to a small amount of it soon pass into unconscious submission to a great amount of it. So America will pass from government of its army, and navy on lines outside of its constitution and laws to government of the rest of the nation inside of the same antiquated instrument and statutes. This is the momentous crisis which the Republic faces to-day. This is the momentous crisis whose sinister form the Brownville affray, followed by the arbitrary action of the President and the shameful defence of his actions by his pliant tools in Cabinet and Senate has uncovered, has served to reveal to the country in all of its dark and menacing audacity in man. Senator Lodge has made his speech in defence of the President—a speech which ought to damn the maker of it politically and eternally, and it ought to damn him in whose behalf it was made, politically and eternally also. For an American public man who could make a speech like that Lodge speech in the Senate on last Monday is not good American, mindful. shall show that not one of these 167 soldiers had any way to do with the "shooting up" of the town of Brewsterville on the night of August 18 last, the President's Decennial order discharging them without honor and without trial, the President's order to discharging them, and the right of re-empliment in the army and navy, and barring them forever from employment in any capacity under the National government, was constitutionally right and cannot therefore be questioned by the Senate. If the President can discharge with merciless severity 167 white soldiers more presumption of their guilt, he can discharge 167 white soldiers for as little cause, or what in law amounts to no cause at all; and so it will be found upon occasion he can discharge the army which may refuse to obey his arbitrary and will proceed to get an army whale and then to sail an Italian-boat to beebots of despotic power on the part of its Commander-in-Chief. In the white light of this discussion the color line fades away in that larger question which involves the integrity of the constitution, and the rights and liberties of all American soldiers and sailors, of all American citizens, and ultimately of the free citizenship and institutions of the Republic itself. If the President can do this thing, this outrageous thing and find defenders in his Cabinet and in the Senate, if be permitted to do it without question, without check, what will be not attempt next? God alone once had a taste of despotic power when once had a taste of despotic power when next do, be himself does, not know. Let us be profoundly thankful, let the country be profoundly thankful that there is at least one American Senator thoroughly awake to the momentous character of the issue which flows from this arbitrary exercise of power by the President, and who resolved to do what in order to make it possible for the car wherein rides autocratic rule, the powerful brakes of the American Constitution, and of American law, and that Senator in Joseph Benson Foraker of Ohio. This defender of American free institutions and citizenship has met in debate the Massachusetts defender of old world despotism and the new American autocracy and has tumbled him and his horse pelt mell in the street. Senator Foraker did on Monday with Senator Lodge and his carefully prepared speech in defence of the President. "Is the President of the United States over and above the law?" Senator Foraker asked. "If the President can discharge men because of a state act, why will it dislodge without facts?" He'll tell you, as in fact the Senator from Massachusetts has told you—it is none of your business." And here we are in truth at the parting of the ways. What right or nationation take the way to right, or the way to left? We shall presently set. COACHMEN'S UNION LEAGUE SOCIETY AT TAMMANY HALL.

WORCESTER MUSICAL EVENT. WORKSARX, January 15.—The second annual concert of the Coleridge-Taylor Music Club. He has been a great effort even tempted by any musical organization in this city among our people. That the effort was highly successful and pleasing was at least perhaps the greatest effort ever attempted by any musical organization in this city among our people. The work of the chorus was excellent and showed the attention that must necessarily be paid when such an amusement was given. The same came in for their share of applause, especially Mr. Fred. N. Bates, tenor. Too much cannot be said about Mr. Bates' voice; it has a dee dee range and scope. He is with the band in New England. Miss Spotwood, leading soprano, in spite of short notices and being handicapped with a severe cold, she superseded the band in New England. Miss Nelle McNorton, baritone and contralto respectively, deserve especial mention. Miss Grace M. Johnson, the club pianist, assisted the chorus and Mr. Wm. Cooper and Miss Nelle McNorton, who was Davis' sacred oratorio. "The New Jerusalem." Much interest was manifested Sunday at the Coleridge-Taylor Music Club. Anderson read a paper on a "Plan for Opportunities." Next Sunday Miss Cook will read one on "A New Opportunities That May Be Grasped." Mr. H.

The greatest thing needed among the Negro farmers of the Southwest is leadership. This section of the country is now suffering greatly because those who are fitted by training to assist in guiding the farmers toward a better condition have taken to other things, have given up the pursuit of the most important advantage of these all, to the advantage of the farmers. This year by year the farmers are robbed of these prepared to lead. We are passing through a tunnel now, but the train is still rushing toward the station. FROM THE TOPPING GENERALIST. We are in receipt of a letter from one of our subscribers in South Carolina who states to us that one of the leading colored farmers of that county drove into town the other day with a buggy and a span of the horses, when two white men accounted him and said: "Look here, nigger, these horses look cool." He was therewith ordered to take the horses to the livery barn, where they were advertised in the morning paper and sold at a fixed price by these white ruffians who made up the progressive colored men whenever they see it. We would like for President Roosevelt to integrate this along with the Brownville affair. What the Shade of Summer Would Do. From: The Pioneer Press. If the spirit of George Washington returned and struck Calhoun's hand and knocked out the pen with which he was writing against the United States Constitution, causing him to ring the bell, and when the boy called he said: "Did you meet a man going downstairs?" No, alr. was the reply. Calhoun got up and looked at him returned to his room, and in the morning when he went down to the office the clerk, who knew nothing whatever about it, said: "Why, Mr. Calhoun! what is the matter with you?" He showed his nervous hand and brushed his hair. His whole story and declared it was George Washington, and died soon thereafter. Surely Charles Sumner's spirit ought to return and box the cheeky cheeks of his successor. The Negro is "up against it." and he must fight for his life. The issues are being rapidly made up, and the Negro has no choice but to gather to his side such white friends as he can enlist in his behalf and prepare for a fight to a finish—he his weapons the text book. He must defend the persuasive voice, the independent ballot—or, as a last resort, the sword. Listen to Knuckleen' Advice. In his address at the Emancipation celebration here January 1st, Prof. W. H. Knuckles gave timely advice along many lines. The burden of the effort was to encourage the people to be hopeful, educate themselves, buy and make homes and expose crime. People who listen to such advice and act accordingly cannot be expected to expose and condemn crime. No matter what others do, we must do right, and right will win, since God is right. Some Causes of Consumption From The Macon Truth In the new regime where there is freedom to move wherever inclination may direct and where race population is three times as great as at the close of the war between the States there should be no wonder at the appearance of any disease or the extent to which it may spread. Then, no consumption, for whom it was not known, been the source of the white race which is served by this in every capacity where it is liable to be communicated. And supplementing all is race poverty, the utter inability of the majority to provide comfortable homes in healthy parts of cities and towns and in working and clothing. Physical decline in the race resulting from consumption, and other diseases is due more to poverty and ignorance than anything else. Colorado Blues Above Race Lines. From The Western Enterprise. The Honorable Simon Guggenheim of Denver is the caucus nominee of the Republicans for United States Senator. Mr. Guggenheim is a staunch Republican, is thoroughly identified with many of the productive industries in Colorado, and it is to the nation that State that they nise above ordinary race lines to such extent as to elect a distinguished gentlemen of Jethish extraction to represent them the United States Senate. Arkansas Editor Puts it Up to the Pastor THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, JANUARY 17. 1907. DOINGS OF THE RACE. True Reformer Reach Three Million Dollar Mark. The last report we had from the General office of the Grand Fountain shows that the Grand Fountain has paid out to heirs, widows and orphans nearly three millions of dollars since it has been incorporated, twenty-five years ago. This sum does not include over a million dollars paid out for the purchase of aORDINARY GRAND Fountain and with this large amount of money paid out of its treasury, the Grand Fountain is to-day in a more healthy and prosperous condition than ever before in its history. New Bank Building in Indian Territory. From The Blahsh College Student. Work on the bank building in the Negro town, Boley, Creek Natica, Indian Territory, is progressing nicely. The officials hope to be ready to open the doors for business on or before January 1, 1907. The building of modern brick structure and is being built by the city's bank and is credit to the city. Mr. E. H. Holmes, formerly of Prairie View, Texas, is the contractor and architect. College Football in Texas. From The Wiley Reporter. The first football game between Negro colleges in the State was played New Year's Day between Prairie View Normal and Industrial College and Wiley University. Never before in the history of colleges has a game of with gravity been played with more calmness, more deliberate play, more dissatisfaction and disputation. Let it be remembered to the credit of both schools that whatever way the spoils might have gone, the greatest victory was a moral one. The great victory and the game did there come a reason for running of feeling is worthy of commendation. The visiting team has returned to their work, and Wiley is now settled down to its regular results. Both sides are elated over the results of the game, the exploration of the time the score stood 6 to 3 in favor of Prairie View. Texas Teachers Meet at Waco. From the Austin Weekly Bulletin The Twenty-second Annual Session of the State Teachers' Association held its meeting in Waco, Texas, December 20, 27 and 28, 1906. The meeting, in many respects, was the best in the history of the association. There were presentations of almost every college and high school in the State, as well as a number from the rural districts. Many very helpful discussions were had, which were of untold benefit to those present. The manner in which the members included the special commendation. Professor W. C. Rollins was president for the incoming year; Mrs. L. B. Kerr, secretary. Arkansas Business League Meeting. From The Masonic Guide. The Negro Business League of Arkansas was held in the city of Little Rock during the Christmas week. This session was the greatest since the organization, which was six years ago, Dr. J. M. Conner, who is president of the League, deserves much credit for the excellent work in which the meetings were conducted. Associated with Dr. Conner is Mr. J. H. McConleon, who is secretary. Mr. McConleon is a young man of much pluck and grit. He is also assistant manager of the Capital City Savings bank of this city and the first member of the National Negro Bankers Association. It would hardly be doing justice to the State Business Men's League and the Negroes throughout the State to speak of the success this meeting without mentioning the great work of Judge M. W. Gibbs, president of Uptown City Savings Bank; and Hon. U. B. Land Receiver. WILMINGTON STRENGTH FORWARD WITH GREAT RAPIDITY WILMINGTON, N. C., January 14.—The annual meeting of the United Charities Association was held on Monday afternoon, of this week, at Maria Mannah Hall. The meeting was not an largely attended as it should have been but what was lacking in numbers was made up in enthusiasm at the excellent reports rendered and the healthy condition of the association. The report of the general manager showed that funds to the amount of $1,235 had been collected and disbursed, also groceries, clothing and wood in large quantities to the deserving poor. In several instances house rent had been paid for those unable to keep a shorter year their heads. The president in his annual address warmly commended the officer who worked with the poor, the work done and made a plea for greater interest and still larger contributions for the coming year. The same officers were unanimously elected for the ensuing year vla: President. Rev. R. B. Robert Bennett, roctor of Rt. Mark's church; vice-president, Mr. F. T. Pittman; secretary, Mr. Richard, treasurer, Mr. Dry, general manager, Mr. Simon Bicarronse, and solicitor, Mr. John H. Whitman, Sr. Monday night, January 15, the Independent Order of St. Luke held a celebration at Beth Hall. Four councils of the order took part in the entertainment; vv. Suspended. Substantial contributions were made. Third M. C. Brain Band rendered several collections, under the leadership of hand-master Prof. Benjamin Jones. A handsome and valuable prize was also given to the lady voter, the most popular and best woman. The attendant and hand-master sum was realized by the order. Rev. John Malette, on Dayton, Ohio preached last Sunday night, in St. Stephen's A. M. E. church to a large congregation, whom him knew personally and intimately. The attendant and hand-master Mr. Malette should connect himself with the Eastern North Carolina Conference and secure a charge nearer home. There is just as much chance for a young minister of worth, more rectitude and superior intellect as there is in the Northern and Western. Rev. John J. Jackson, the popular and erudite pastor of St. Stephen's, is a living proof that those worthy of success will finally attain the greatest heights. The good impression made on community by Malette is such that we hope to retain him among us. We are glad to note three things affecting to a greater or smaller extent the welfare of Afro-Americans in this State and imim of the First. First, it is to be introduced in the next session of the legislature providing a suitable pension for the maintenance or all ex-slaves who followed the fortunes of the Confederacy in the late unpleasantness, including those who remained at home on the farms and plantations of the South, and whose colors, and were faithful in the care of their families and estates. This bill should pass without a dissenting vote. Coming just at this time of racial unrest and lack of confidence in the justness of our white population, we will, its presentation and passage will act as a stimulus to the waning Hope of Afro-Americans whose life's interests are bound up in the land of sunshine and cotton and likewise remove a great part of the heavy old men and women whose life is by reason of the forced and unrequited labor and service-given to others. The second is also a bill to be introduced at the next session of the legislature, making provision for appointing and establishing of a recorder and a recorder in the city of Wilmington. This is made partly necessary by the rapid increase in the population of Wilmington and its suburbs, there being no less than 40,000 persons reported in the police census; and partly on account of the large number of many magistrates to the superior court, many of them trivial in nature but over which the magistrates' court has no power or jurisdiction. Recently the number of such cases was no large that the jail was overrun. The superior court had to work overtime in order to reel in the third event in the starting of work upon the proposed street car extension. The majority of the laborers are Afro-Americans and as the system will not be completed and in perfect running order in less than six months, the fair wages are guaranteed steady work and at fair wages for this length of time at least. The cafe of Messrs. James C. Byrd and Cornelius Evans, recently operated on the ground floor of Ruth Hall has been closed by the order of the trustees of the hall. This cafe was a veritable palace and unimaginable place of amusement for Afro-Americans not only in the city but in the State. No complaints of disorderly conduct or otherwise have ever been reported. Questionable characters were not allowed. The place was the most respectable of its kind say the police and the authorities of dollars that would otherwise be queried for and in questionable resorts went for innocent amusement, ice cream and soft drinks, and were eventually alding to make substantial business men of two of our progressive young men who were giving employment to a half dozen or more young men and women. Closed on the second floor where balls and bawdy minstrel shows were sometimes held, also rowdy entertainments. When will our people get horse sense and bld envy and jealousy skidow? Messrs. Byrd and Evans have expanded some $400 on improvements and made a new hard hole to look like a governor's palace, only to enrich themselves else and not themselves. Elenzeer Baptist church is still without a regular pastor. What is the matter with his old rock of Zion that her members can handle? What is agree on a worthy shepherd to lead them? Rev. J. H. Bhoe, pastor of the First Baptist church has been seriously ill with a severe attack of la gripe and threatened through his recent troubles and we hope to see him able to resume his wonted duties shortly. Prof. L. M. Randolph, of Washington, N. grand master of the Craft State of North Carolina, was in the city last week and held a special meeting of the Craft on Friday night to consider important business. He was the guest of address, the master, David Bryant, of church street. The Rev. William George Avant, of New Bern, N. C., archdeacon of the East Carolina diocese was in the city the past week on business of importance with his Bishop, the late Rev. William H. McCormick, little social relaxation and with a company of hearty good fellows visited follolingate on a hunting trip. While on the trip the Rev. met with quite a painful accident to his right hand, the gun he was using being prematurely discharged, seeing the gun into his hands. Three shots were taken in the wound. Besides the loss of blood no other ill effects are expected. Mr. Nat Richardson, of the post office force, entertained at dinner Tuesday, Rev. W. G. Avant, of New Bern, Miss Sarah Garrison, of Omaha, and his whist on Tuesday night of this week. The *Appy Olligans* held their weekly conclave at the residence of Mr. John E. Taylor, on Eighth street, Wednesday night. After the regular business of the evening a delicious supper was served by the Hon. John C. Dancy, of Washington, D. C., has recently notified the *Appies* that he intends visiting Wilmington sometime in the near future; the *Appies* await his coming with photos. The *Appies* will be in Salem with their grand dispenser, will be in attendance on his duties ere that time. Numbered among the sick are Messrs. George Littleton, of Castle street and Joseph O. Bently preasman and machinist of Mr. William J. Moore a printing establishment. Mr. William Moore a rejoicing at the advent of a baby girl, welcoming eight pounds. Mr. Killijah Green merchant and boa stewardore has recently been expelled from the Masonic fraternity for 90 years being found guilty of unmasonic marriage and Mrs. Jeklaan grawray and Mrs. Jeklaan is solemnized in St. Luke's A. M. E. Zion church, Sunday night, January 16, at 8 p. m., Dr. W. L. Lee officiating. Look for ularns in our next issue. Echoes of the emancipation celebration brought to the nortoniana.

Is no Experiment It was discovered by D. Roberts, a famous English chemist, who has made a study of the scalp of colored people for the past thirty years, and who, after much time and experience, has prepared this great Tonic especially for the colored people. The Doctor says that his experience and the scalp of colored people requires a special treatment, and after laboring and testing these many years he has discovered the greatest REMEDY the WORLD has ever known for the HAIR of colored people. He will make the hair GROW one to three inches per month if the directions and instructions are carefully followed out.

Senator Tillman's Insolent Defense Senator Tillman of South Carolina made his long-looked for but gratuitous, coarse and brutal address in the Senate on the discharge of the battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry by the President Saturday of last week. Nobody asked Senator Tillman to make this speech in defense of the discharged soldiers, and in condemnation of the President's order and of the President, and nobody thanks him for it. Afro-Americans regard it as an insult and the rest of mankind regard it as a coarse, brutal and viperous deliverance, calculated to do more harm than good. The most significant phase of Senator Tillman's address is not that it was coarse, vulgar and brutal, but that he could deliver it—could have the gall to deliver, it—could feel free to deliver it—could know that he could heap curses upon the heads of ten millions of people as free as he and as well covered in their rights of citizenship by the Federal Constitution as he—without being made to pay the penalty of it. There is not any other body of citizens in the Republic who would stand for his insolence, coarseness and brutality of speech in debate, or whom he would expect to do it. And there will come a time in the history of the Republic when such as he will not dare to do it, and, when they do it in foolhardy bravado, will be made to pay the penalty of the infamy. The people of the Republic should see and recognize the horrible fact that Senator Tillman and his sort are creating a condition of hatred and violence which is bound to become a violent feature of our politics, however long the time is coming. Tens of thousands of Afro-Americans feel at this moment like wringing the neck of Senator Tillman as they would that of a chicken, of strangling the life out of him, and others of his sort, and they would be less than men if they did not feel so. Will it always stop at mere feeling? We don't believe it will. The law should protect us from such coarseness and brutality of speech as Senator Tillman and his vile sort indulge in; the community protects itself from like incendiary talk of what are styled anarchists, several of whom are in jail now in New York, and if it does not begin to protect the Afro-American people the time will come when they will seek protection themselves. The open opposition shown by Afro-Americans in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and all over, during the past few months, points the way the wind is blowing. The Afro-American people do not want any defense from such as Tillman; they do not need it; they resent it Tillman and his sort may yet get a big dose of "the bloody race war" about which they are always prating, but largely to hear themselves talk, and because it gives them a cheap sort of notoriety which decent men would scorn. The Japanese Question The threat made by The San Francisco Chronicle that the Pacific Coast States would probably line up against the rest of the United States if the recommendations of the President as to the observance of our treaty obligations with Japan should be enforced, especially as to the point in controversy over the exclusion of Japanese children from white schools, has been met halfway by a statement that the Southern States would line up with the Pacific Coast States on the color question. So, there you have the matter reduced to its last absurdity. And the South treats the Afro-American in the same way that the West treats the Japanese and Chinese. In a show down off-color people would have to stand together; and the assertion has been made by Count Tolstoy that these latter people will some day dominate the world. Will they? Count Tolstoy says on this point: The victory of the Japanese over the Russians has demonstrated to all military nations that the military power is no longer in their hands, but has passed—or will soon pass—to other, unchristian hands; for it will not be hard for all the unchristian nations of Asia and Africa that are oppressed by the Christians to emulate the example of the Japanese, to learn the technique of the warfare of which we are so proud, and not only free themselves, but wipe all the Christian governments off the face of the earth. This is a fearful prophecy. If the inhabitants of Africa and Asia should ever combine, and make war upon Europe and America in revenge for the wrongs they have inflicted upon them it would be one of the most horrible spectacles which has been written in blood in the history of mankind. The people of Africa and Asia have no love whatever for the people of Europe and America, and they are likely to have less rather than more with the progress and development as worked out by the agencies which Europe and America have now in operation for subjugation or exploitation of Africa Asia. The development of scientific very in the art of war has de-inequality of nations, as was war for the subju- Dutch re- invincible, and it looked that way when Kuropatkin headed his troops for Tukio. The little man who knows his business is just as competent now behind a machine gun of the largest calibre as the biggest man. Victory is not now always on the side of the heaviest battalions, as Napoleon Bonaparte once declared, but on the side with the greatest batteries and most scientific gunners, with commanders who understand their business, as did Field Marshal Oyama and his four great generals. But let us hope that the Christian nations will follow the teachings of the Master, instead of the policy of insolence and greed, as in the past, and cultivate more brotherly relations with the people of Asia and Africa, who are and never will be Christians. The Japanese will not allow their training fleet; now on cruise, to touch at American ports, because of the strained condition of the public temper over the San Francisco affair, and because, it is stated, of a hint to that effect from the Government at Washington. But there will be no war between Japan and the United States at this time, according to Mr. Osborne Howes, honorary Japanese consul in Boston, who has written a luminous article for the current number of The North American Review on "What Japanese Exclusion Would Mean." It would mean the loss of our trade with Eastern Asia, and that now amounts to some $140,000,000 per annum. The prospective increase in money value of this trade, if the good relations between the two countries should not be interrupted, cannot be easily estimated, as the market is almost without limit in possible demands for all sorts of commodities. There is such an imperious demand upon all nations that they have markets for their surplus production that it would be a positive calamity to the United States if its trade relations with the Far East should be cut off or impaired for any reason, and if "because of race and color" it would be sublimely stupid. Why Should Gov. Terrell Utter at Deliberate Falsehoods? We believe in courtesy and delicacy of characterization in debate, whether oral or written, but there are some people upon whom courtesay and delicacy used in any way are entirely lost. Most of the political demagogues and swashbucklers of the South are of this sort. In discussing "The Negro and the Southern Labor Problem" in The New York American and Journal last Sunday, Governor Joseph M. Terrell of Georgia had no need whatever to utter deliberate falsehoods about it, but he did so, because he could not help it, as demagogy was born in him. He says: We are having no trouble in Georgia with the country Negro. The relations between the whites and blacks there are amicable, and we rarely hear of race troubles. There are fewer assaults and consequently fewer lynchings than at any time since the days of "reconstruction." In the cities there are two classes of Negroes who give trouble, the idle and vicious and the semi-educated with high-flow notions of social equality. There has of recent years been a tendency on the part of the country blacks to flock to the cities. They are attracted by the higher wages and the greater facilities for the gratification of their desires. They quickly become demoralized in the cities, and constitute a real menace to the community in many cases. It was these two classes of Negroes who were responsible for the excited state of public opinion which led to the recent rioting in Atlanta. This rioting, while undeniably bad, was greatly exaggerated by the press of the country. There were only eleven killed all told. It is a striking commentary on the wicked folly of trying to eight wrongs outside the recognized channels of law, that of the number killed ten were innocent of all suspicion of wrongdoing. FALSEHOOD No. 1. Instead of having no trouble "with the country Negro," the trouble begins with him, and this trouble causes the scarcity of farm laborers, and, sequentially, the congregation of them in the cities. What is this trouble? The lawlessness and arrogance of white farmers, who are above the law in any treatment they deem good or capricious to mete out to the laborer; the lien laws of the South, which give the farmer absolute mastery over the laborer and his wage, the latter being fixed always at the swindling point; the bad and inadequate school facilities as to quality of school houses, distances apart, payment of teachers and shortness of term. To get way from the tyranny of the planter and the arrogance and lawlessness of the rural white upstart, and to give his children better opportunities in the schools, Afro-Americans go to the cities. FALSEHOOD No. 2. The idle and vicious Negro in the cities can easily be taken care of by the police, if white dive keepers and saloon keepers were not allowed to flourish and to pay tribute for immunity to the police. The bad district in Atlanta—bounded by North Pryor street and Pratt, the capitol and Edgewood avenue—is planted thick with dives and saloons of the lowest class, but only three saloons in the whole district are conducted by Afro-Americans, and they are of the better sort! FALSEHOOD No. 3. "The semi-educated with high-flow notions of social equality" exist only in the diseased head or the disordered imagination of Governor Terrell. The people he speaks of are self-respecting people who work hard and want to obey the laws, but who resent, and will always resent, the jim-crow car laws of the surface; milways and railroads, and the vile arrangements for the segregation and feeding of Afro-Americans in the depots of Georgia, and in all of the class legislation violative of civil rights which Governor Terrell and his sort have come to believe and to class as "social rights," when, as a matter of fact, the subject of con-but always is THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1907. way when ever Tukio, business and a man as the new always allions, as armed, but batteries with business, and his Jim-crow laws are made and enforced, because they violate the motility of contract and debase the manhood and womanhood of the people at whom they are aimed, by the inferiority of the service they make possible, by the innoiteries and the brutality of the enforcement of them, and by the stigma they place upon a body of citizens who have as much right to fair and equitable laws and humane administration of them as the white citizens of Georgia. neem as a result of a family quarrel. Jasper Maya, the son, is twenty-four years old and married. The son says his father was abusing his mother, and that he had to kill him to protect her and his home. ROANOK, Va., January 10.—A. C. Maya, an engineer of the Norfolk and Western Railway, to-day shot and killed Mrs. Etta Murray, aged thirty, wife of Frank Murray, and then shot himself, falling dead beside the body of the woman he loved. FALSEHOOD No. 4. The Atlanta massacre was not brought about by "idle and vicious" or "templ-educated Afro-Americans" and Governor Terrell knows that it was not. It was brought about by Governor Terrell's Attorney-General, who owns a newspaper and who is so small of reputation outside of Georgia that we cannot, for the life of us, remember his name, by John Temple Graves of The Georgian, by Hoke Smith of The Evening Journal, and by Clark Howell of The Constitution, who in their mad chase after the nomination for Governor by the Democratic primary voters lashed to mad fury the waves of race hatred and vengeance. It is difficult for the best rhetorical prestidigitor to utter four deliberate falsehoods in four studied statements of notorious fact, and in accomplishing the feat in an article of one column of newspaper space Governor Joseph M. Terrell of Georgia shows that he is entitled to stand in front of the whole gang of present-day white Southern Ananiases. Insurance Discrimination Several of the insurance companies of the country openly refuse Afro-American risks, while others do it by indirect means, usually basing refusal on physical or hereditary defect. We do not need to name any of these companies here, as we are not disposed to give them one line of free advertising. But we do wish to direct the attention of our readers and business men to the fact that there is such discrimination, more or less general, against us, and that it is a sufficient argument to urge that more support be given to the insurance companies we have and that we should move to create, where we may not have them, companies of our own. We need successful insurance companies the same as we need banks, and as we have made a beginning with both branches of business we should give them liberal support in order that they may be able to meet all of the demands we have to make upon them. The difference between banking and insurance is very radical but simple enough; in placing money in the bank we receive interest on the principal; while in placing money in insurance we pay interest on the principal. Either provision for old age is good and wise. White Law Breakers in the South. A conviction prevails throughout the Northern and Western States that most of the lawlessness committed in the Southern States is committed by Afro-Americans. This is a very natural conclusion, because the news dispatches do not, in the main, carry the small violations of law in a given locality beyond the State or collection of States immediately concerned. The same rule holds good in chronicling such minor infractions of law by the newspapers of the North and West. But any one who will read the Southern newspapers will find that the white people in the States covered by them commit as many crimes of one sort and another as the whites of the Northern and Western States, and that, contrary to the general belief, Afro-Americans are not the only law-breakers in the Southern States. But the fact that Southern Whites do break the law and get in the hands of the officers of the law and the courts and sometimes into the penitentiary will really be news to a lot of good people, who have been made to believe that Southern white men and women are all saints. The Washington Post, of January 11, for instance, chronicled the following partial one day's happenings among Southern white people: DANVILLE, Va., January 10.—Fletcher Harris, George Stevens and Ibert Adkins were held for the grand jury by the mayor's court to day on the charge of having robbed James M. Thomas of Rosnoke, whose dead body was found in a ravine near the city on January 2. Stevens was the only witness examined to day. He turned State's evidence. RICHMOND, Va., January 10.—Charles Powley, arrested ten days ago for alleged robbery of the Seaboard train at Lacrosse, was to-day discharged from custody. It being found that he was innocent of the charge. Martin, the former newsboy, who has made a complete confession of the crime, was sentenced to fail to await the action of the grand jury. SAVANNAH, Ga., January 10.—Mrs. B. Leslie Roturoan, a society woman, is at a hospital suffering from a bullet wound in her side, which the doctors think will prove fatal, and her husband is being held without ball to await the result of her injuries. Both husband and wife stated, at first that the wound was accidental, but when Mrs. Roturean was told that her life was in danger she confessed that she was shot during a quarrel with her husband, and while both were struggling for possession of the pistol. Mrs. Roturean said she childed her husband for straying out late. He retorted bitterly, and then she struck him several blows with a riding whip. Roturean, according to his wife, snatched the whip and lashed her severely across her bosom and shoulders. She then got a pistol and tried to shoot her husband, but he seized her and struggled to take the pistol. Just at he got the pistol away from her it was discharged and she fell. She will not be however, that her husband deliberately her. The Rotureans are connected with Savannah's o.- families, and have prominent socially. Mrs. Roturean is of the handsome women in Savannah. HUNTINGTON, W. Va., January 10.—30 Mays, fifty-seven years old, a prosper former living fifteen miles south of the c mountain. needs as a result of a family quarrel. Jamper Maya, the son, is twenty-four years old and married. The son says his father was abusing his mother, and that he had to kill him to protect her and his home. ROANOK, Va., January 10.—A. C. Maya, an engineer of the Norfolk and Western Railway, to-day shot and killed Mrs. Etta Murray, aged thirty, wife of Frank Murray, and then shot himself, falling dead beside the body of the woman he loved. Maya was unmarried and some time ago boarded at the home of Mrs. Murray but left about two years ago. He returned to the city to-day and went directly to Mr. Murray's house. Maya was madly in love with Mrs. Murray, who was his cousin. BALTIMORE, Md., January 10. According to the testimony brought out at the hearing of an assault case in Justice Keplinger's court at the Northeastern police station this morning, Mrs. Jennie McCauley Monday horsewhipped Miss Gall Pens, charging her with alienating the affections of Mr. McCauley. Miss Penn brought the charge of assault. After hearing the testimony, Justice Keplinger dismissed the charge and released Mrs. McCauley with an admonition to be less strenuous in the future. As brought out in the hearing, the horsewhipping was the result of a long-standing quarrel between Mrs. McCauley and Miss Penn, in which Mr. McCauley was the bone of contention. NORfolk, Va., January 10.—While disinterring the remains of John S. Miller, buried on Deep Creek road in Norfolk County, Grogan and Sampson, colored undertakers, found traces that the grave had been tampered with. When they reached the casket they found that it had been broken open and two diamond rings and other jewelry which had been buried with the dead man were missing. NORFOLK, Va., January 10.—M. Fivel, a junk dealer convicted of buying stolen goods and sentenced to serve a year in the penitentiary, cut his throat early this morning in the jail hospital, and died two hours later. Fivel has made a desperate battle in the courts, but lost and appealed to the governor to permit him to serve his sentence in jail here, but his request was refused. Fivel was one of the most prominent Hebrew citizens of Norfolk before his conviction. Thomas Logan of Remington, Fauquier County, Va., was assaulted last night and robbed of $30 as he was about to enter the home of his cousin, Charles Mankin, in Alexandria. The assault occurred between 11 and 12 o'clock. Mr. Logan had reached Alexandria a short time before. As he ascended the steps of his cousin's home he was approached by a white man, who struck him over the head and in the face with some blung instrument, and then took his money. The highwayman also had a pistol, which Mr. Logan saw. Policemen took Mr. Logan to the station house, where his cuts were dressed by Dr. L. C. Smith. Every effort is being made to arrest his assailant, as the citizens of Alexandria are aroused over the assaults of this character that have recently taken place there. Upon the recommendation of Maj. Sylvester, Commissioner West yesterday suspended from further duty, without pay, Policeman J. B. Lipsecomb, who shot and seriously injured Daniel Boyle, aged sixteen, about six months ago. Louis Bricker, twenty-four years old, was arraigned yesterday morning before Judge Mullowny, in Police Court, charged with housebreaking. It was testified that on being searched at headquarters, immediately after his arrest on Tuesday by Detective Berman, several revolvers were found upon Bricker which had been stolen from the hardware store of Louis Hartig on Seventh street northwest last week. Judge Mullowny held the accused for the action of the grand jury under $1,500 bonds. Frank Young was held under $500 bonds for the action of the grand jury on the same charge. The police assert that Young entered the residence of F. O. Lentz, 1517 Ninth street northwest, some time Tuesday night, and stole jewelry valued at $13. St. Louis, Mo., January 10.—George Bashman, or Basham, of Basham, Va., reported to the police at Union Station to-day that he had been robbed of $450 just as the train upon which he had come to St. Louis was leaving Kansas City. The money was stolen from his overcoat by a pick-pocket. Bashman says he saw two men jostle him just as he entered the car, but thought nothing of the incident. The men had boarded the train when he did. When he saw one of the men jump from the train his suspicious were aroused, and he looked for his miltain. Bashman has n in the mining business at Denver, and was en route to his home in Virginia. He thinks the pickpocket him take the roll from his pocket his ticket.

C. ber of the instances happening in all parts of Virginia for the 10th instant were run down by the sleuths of The Post. Now, if a collection could be made from all of the daily newspapers in the Southern States of the crimes and misdemeanors committed by white people on any given day, the world at large would be appalled at the enormous volume of it, even though the half should only be trapped by the newspapers, and mostly because the white newspapers have educated the opinion of the country in the belief that Southern white men and women are just so good as never was, who never have any criminal relations that require the interference of the law. Afro-American black and yellow people only being vile and criminal and needing the rigors of the law, including the blood hound and the chain-gang, to keep them in the middle of the road. Neither virtue nor deprivacy is the heritage of any individual or race, but each is scattered quite generally and equally among all the citizens of the Republic. Election of Senators by Direct Vote The proposition to elect United States Senators by direct vote, instead of by the legislatures of the several States, is gaining some headway. The average character of the members of the House of Representatives and of the legislatures of the several States does not warrant the presumption that the character and ability of the average Senator would be improved by the proposed innovation. The average honesty of the popular voter may be better than that of the average legislator, but the average intelligence of the latter is vastly greater than that of the former, and is more likely to hit upon the best man in the State for Federal Senator on that account. The workings of the primary laws of several of the States indicate that the worst and most dangerous men in the State are more liable to carry the people off their feet than a convention. If there had been no primary in Georgia, Clau Howell would have whipped Hoke Smil off his feet invention; the difference be men.

From The Washington Bee. W. Calvin Cham, the able editor of The Bee, like the most of the Negro editors who strive faithfully to serve their people, always had it hard up to within a late period, when his great heart saw poor old Tom treading the wilde press virtually alone, and seeming to be growing fat on championing the doctrine of surrender and being the apostle of cowardly submission. Now, then, unless all signs fall, Brother Cham will stand among them that ask and shall receive and Brother Fortune will not be the only Negro newspaper man that can be that his paper does and does best by emboldening and supporting one big man, who has his hands on the parses strings of the rich white man than it did when he fought and bled and died for a non-appreciative whole rate of people. But it is too late now for Brothers Fortune and Chase combined, with their splendid backings to do more to empowered men filled with the intelligent Negro than Brother Tom alone could do. The people's even are open and will wear no veil any more. Because The Bee does not think and speak as some other people think and express themselves, it is charged with surrendering the manhood rights of the colored Americans. Sensible people, not fools, who have read The Bee for twenty-six years, will say that The Bee is the most fearless advocate of the rights of the American Negro of any paper edited by Negroes in the United States. In an editorial last week The Chicago Conservator stated that The Bee is one of the prophets, in that it has joined Editor Fortune in defending Professor Booker T. Washington. The Bee is proud to say that it could not have selected better and abler company or a more loyal and fearless companion than Mr. T. Thomas Fortune of THE NEW YORK AGE. The Bee cannot defend a more deserving man and one who is doing more for the colored Americans in the United States than Prof. Booker T. Washington. When the able editor of The Conservator learns how to distinguish right from wrong The Bee will be pleased to join his force. The doctrine of surrender is more applicable to the editor of The Conservator than it is to either the editor of THE AOK or the editor of The Bee. There has never been a time in the history of Negro journalism that the editor of THE AOK ever betrayed his people. The Bee has always found him loyal, honest and patriotic to a party that never justly rewarded him and to a race that seems to appreciate rebuffa rather than those who defend it. Point out, if the editor of The Conservator pleases, one act of surrender on the part of Prof. Booker T. Wahington. To the contrary, he is doing to-day what no other Negro is able to do or what no other race can do. What he is doing would require the combined forces of every colored person in Chicago to do. Compare the deeds and acts of Prof. Booker T. Washington with those of the editor of The Conservator, and the acts of the latter would look like a flea speck in a marsh pond. The great trouble and weakness of some colored editors is their failure to give credit to those who are doing something. The editor of The Conservator, with his great colored voting strength, has surrendered not only his manhood rights, but his vote to those with whom he has been supporting for a decade. It is the cowardly sycophant who surrenders his manhood rights. It is the money graftor and the boodler and the political knave who surrenders. If it were not so, Chicago would have more today than what it has, so far as the colored American is concerned. Chicago is the chief center, and the editor of The Conservator is the chief priest.

What the Ohio Senator Hopes to Accomplish—A Motive Beyond Graceful Personal Presidential Ambitions—With Central of His State's Delegation in the Next Republican National Convention, He hopes to be Able to Cust Them for a Candidate Who Will Not Be an Upholder of President Preservist's Politics—Farmer an Opportunist in Politics, with Great Faith in His Individual Strength. From The New York Evening Post. WASHINGTON, January 14. — While Senator Joseph B. Foraker is not an avowed candidate for the Presidency of the United States, he is a candidate nevertheless. The Ohio man doubtless has small hope that he can accomplish the end of success, but there is a motive in his candidacy above and beyond the gratifying of personal Presidential ambition. Washington men who know Foraker believe that he will be as well satisfied with one outcome of his efforts to secure the nomination as he will be with the other. In short, Mr. Foraker's candidacy for high office is as much for the purpose of preventing the nomination of an Administration supporter, as it is for the purpose of securing honors for himself. There is a growing belief that the senator Ohio Senator will be able to control his State's delegation to the national convention. He may not have the delegation solidly, for the unit rule does not prevail in Republican politics in Ohio, but it is considered probable that the great majority of the men who will go to the Republican convention from the Buckeye State will cast their ballots for Mr. Foraker until he gives them the word to cast them for some other candidate of his choosing. It is perhaps needless to say that this candidate will not be a strong upholder of the policies of President Roosevelt. Senator Foraker is an opportunity in politics. He knows nothing of political arithmetic. He has in his own State time and again secured the control of things political from leaders who had added up the delegates and had found that the sum total showed a solid column of opposition to the Senator. In the last State convention in Ohio Foraker practically reassumed the leadership of his party when the mathematicians had proved to their own satisfaction that the sum of subtraction from the strength of Foraker which they had done showed conclusively that he was left a minus quantity. The Senator made a speech, and the followers of the opposition said, "This man is our leader," and they accepted him and left the other leaders with nothing but their pencils and their paper pads for comfort. There is as much of the hurrah method to Mr. Foraker's plans of campaigning to-day as there was in the days of his youth and his middle age. Whatever hope he may have of securing the Presidential nomination is the hope that at the end things may come with a rush. Why they may come, he can't tell. for preparation is absolutely lacking, and yet he has a sort of a faith born of previous experience that the nomination may come his way. It has not taken the matter of the Negro troops only to prove the bitterness of the Ohio Senator's feelings against President Roosevelt. He was the only out-and-out Republican champion early and late who entered the Senate lists against the enactment into law of the Railroad Rate bill. In his public speeches against unregulated legislation he was in no sense careful to avoid the wounding of Mr. Roosevelt's personal and political feelings. Mr. Foraker at times last winter was as vitriolic in his anti-Administration utterances as he has been this winter in discussing the case of the discharged Negro troops. For a man who has Presidential aspirations, and who must know that the masses of the Republican voters are fairly well satisfied with the present national policies, his course seemingly is the perfect abandonment of recklessness. It merely goes to prove the point that Mr. Foraker, beside being an opportunist, is also more or less of a fatalist in politics, and the two things are not necessarily "contrariwise." It is barely possible that Foraker believes that in the event of the failure of the Fairbanks delegates to secure the nomination of the man of their choice, he may be the heir to the votes. Mr. Foraker's views of public policies are, as nearly as one can judge, very much the views of Mr. Fairbanks. An analysis of the utterances of the two men, however, probably would show that the Ohioan is more antagonistic to anything like patrimonialism in Government than is the Indianian. Mr. Fairbanks—or would it be better to say Mr. Fairbanks's friends, for the Vice-President does not appear actively in the present plan to capture the convention delegates?—is of the Hanna school of politics. The Fairbanks supporters are securing promises of support from men all over the country and are putting names and promises on paper. Eventually should any of the pledged ones attempt to revoke they will be confronted with the evidence that they have been faithless. It is the mathematical method of procedure, literally a calculating method. This is not Mr. Fornaker's way. He is a poor machine politician, although he has been called a machine man since he cast his first vote. It remains to be seen which man is the wiser in his political generation, the Vice-President or the Senator, and it also remains to be seen whether failure will not come to both. It seems curious that the Ohioan even overtly should hold Presidential hopes when in the whole broad field of the country the only support upon which he can place reliance is to be found in Ohio and in Oklahoma.

Washington be requested by Congress to enlist an army of 100,000 Afro-Americans to build the Panama Canal as a deep sea level water-way from the Atlantic to the Pacific for the nations of the earth and for the peoples of this hemisphere in particular within five years from the 4th of March, next. No part of the world would be more benefitted by the construction of the Panama Canal than the continent of North America, and, therefore, the Republic of United States of America should build and control it without the aid of any other people or peoples. At an early day the Republics of the United States of America will extend from Newfoundland to Vancouver and from the southern boundary of Panama to the Arctic Sea, including Hawaii upon the West, but not the Philippines, and all of the islands upon the East which sattelites to a planet, belong to North America, while all the peoples of South America will unite and form the Republic of the United States of Columbia in honor of that great, discoverer, Christopher Columbus. Dr. Booker T. Washington is a man of great energy, sound judgment, and of the highest integrity. He knows and understands his people better than any other man of his race. He is most ambitious to have his fellow-countrymen win the respect and confidence of the majority race of this continent. The Panama Canal is to be the waterway of the nation. Its construction by the Afro-Americans will be an eternal honor to that race. It will lift them up in the eyes of all nations of the world. They have never failed in loyalty to this republic. They are singers disciples of Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Carroll, Adams, Monroe, Lincoln, Seward, Sumner, Greeley, Dix, Stanton, and Dana They were faithful to their masters wives and children as slaves and as freemen and all of the time true to this Republic. They have proved themselves worthy of the great honor of connecting the Atlantic to the Pacific with the deep ocean level waterway for the steamships of the world. They are used to hardship and self-denial. They know how to fast and live on plain food. They have been taught patience and perseverance. They can stand the climate, with honest treatment. There are 10,000,000 of them within this Republic, upon this confinement, so that 100,000 of them would be only one per cent. of the total. Dr. Washington will select a class that will make good citizens on Panama when the canal is completed, and this is a most important consideration. We want loyal Americans on guard in Panama. We do not want either Japanese or Chinese to get control of that State. Upon the railway and canal and the harbors, we shall probably expend $600,000,000 in that State, and that is another reason for having loyal Americans on guard. The commerce through the canal will be gigantic. Cuba, as a State in the Union with the canal completed, will be the Hong Kong of the Atlantic, and Honolulu and Liverpool of the Pacific. Our trans-continental railways earned from passengers and freight in 1906 not less than $600,000,000. The opening of this canal will reduce their charges by 50 per cent, without doing them any harm. We can, therefore, well afford to spend $500,000,000 in the construction of the canal of such width and depth as to pass without difficulty and without delay the largest ships that will be built in the future. Mr. Jan. J. Hill proposes to expend $5,500,000,000 upon railways, thereby increasing the expenditure on railways within this Republic to $20,000,000,000. We have expended $1,000,000,000 and 00,000 human lives upon the grounds of promoting "benevolent assimilation" and the spread of "Christian civilization," and for the purpose of justifying Great Britain's infamous war for the destruction of the two Boer Republics in South Africa and for the purpose of becoming a so-called World Power. We have been a World Power since the first Continental Congress met September 5, 1774, at Philadelphia. Let Congress decide upon a deep sea level canal without further delay and then invite the Afro-Americans to complete it in five years and they will do it without doubt. There were in this Republic, in 1860, 4,000,000 Afro-Americans. They were cast upon their own resources, for the first time in 200 years, in 1865. All of our Southern States were in a state of disorder and poverty. The Afro-Americans had poor food, poor clothing and worse shelter; nevertheless there were 9,000,000 Afro-Americans in this Republic in 1900. By 1940 we shall have 25,000,000 of them, and by that time they will be an educated race and able to demand and command justice. They will hold the balance of power within this Republic. This is a stupendous fact which we cannot wisely ignore. We must uplift and give them their rights as American citizens in the best and highest interest of all concerned. Therefore, encourage them to build the great waterway, or at least give them an opportunity, and the State of Panama, upon our Southern boundary, will progress by leaps and bounds. The day for deep sea canals, canalised rivers and the developments of the water powers thereon for the production of electricity for light, heat and motor power, the reclamation of arid lands by irrigation, of swamp lands by drainage, of marsh lands by dryage, of intensive agriculture and the free use of artificial fertilizers, for the purpose of reducing the cost of production and distribution and for increasing the demands for skilled and unskilled labor has come. The best railway properties in the world are those which parallel navigable waters. It is high time that our railway monopolists accepted the fact and adjusted their systems thereto. FRANCIS WAYLAND GLEN. SHOULD OUR FOUR REGIMENTS OF THE ARMY BE DISBANDED Conspiracy Alleged to Get Rid of Afro-Americans in the Army—Captain Steele's Article. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: The reproduction in THE AGE of Captain Steele's article on the "Color Line in the Army," which appeared originally in the North American Review, affords an excellent opportunity for discussing the present situation of the colored soldier. The agitation now threatening the existence of the four colored regiments may terminate differently from what its originators anticipated. The Brownsville affair, serious as it is, has served merely as an incident to develop the comprehensive purpose on the part of agitators, of eliminating from the all persons of African descent, and giving it unlawful for such persons listed or appointed into the Army. It is not worth while to question the constitutionality of such a act. Those who are proposing these like measures are not supposed to crn themselves about such unimport- It matters the size provisions of the job and the size of the uniforms tide of race hate now rapidly swelling can be taken at the flood and all its force turned against the black soldier, the black soldier will disappear regardless, and with the disappearance of the black soldier will go the black American's last line of defensive works. Will the manipulators succeed in cornering and driving to their chosen objective this tidal wave? We shall see; meantime we may note that they are troying with a power which at any moment may catch them in reverse, and toss them high and dry upon the beach of political isolation. The wave is on, all right; but who can tell whether it is driving? It is a portentous swell. What will it engulf? It may strike only the black soldier and sweep him out of existence, as its originators hope; again, it may not. Then what? It is remarkable that within the army all is quiet on this subject, as Captain Steele has admirably shown. I invite all my readers to re-read his article. White soldiers are not crying out against their black companions in arms. The two best articles I have seen upon this subject were written by white army officers. No colored officer, or soldier, has demanded as much for the colored man in the United States Army as have these two white officers; and these articles are the more significant from the fact that their writers could not have been influenced by any hope of professional or political advantage from them. But to return to our theme. Let us suppose this agitation to be arrested by the Brownsville investigation, as it seems almost sure to be, what then will be its probable results? The cooling off process is certain to set in, and the "dashing foam and spray" may go off with a harmless though noisy "swish." The Senate may oppose an effectual breakwater. Behind this breakwater, the status quo may be maintained, and the promoters of the agitation may see their work go to naught. This is the best probable fate awaiting them; the boom of success already seems to be fading from the region of hope. But there is another possible and not improbable result. Instead of mere quiescence, there may be reaction. In the moral world reaction may be counted upon with the same certainty as in the physical world. A political question involving only material interest and touching but slightly the moral relations, may be settled either one way or the other with but little aftermath; but not so with a moral question. To the credit of our common humanity, it can be said that no moral question is settled until settled right; and among the American people there are many who incarnate Lincoln's famous clause, "With firmness for the right as God gives us to see the right." To such persons this agitation is likely to be God's method of giving them to see "the right." When these elect to see the right with all the firmness of honest men, they will do, defend, and maintain the right, and right in the long run will win. We can never tell just how reaction will come, but we may be sure that its form and degree will be determined by the preceding justice. The presence of the Negro is America's opportunity and test. To do right by the Negro will develop the highest form, as it will be doing right for right's sake. The Negro is left here to prove the nation. The victory will be won when the so-called American Negroes, many of whom are plain white men, will cease to think of themselves as a "race"; when there shall be no "white" soldiers or "colored" soldiers; white schools or colored schools; white citizens or colored citizens, but when our conglomerate or composite body politic and social shall be Americans all.

Daily Age Herald. GADBREN, January 1.—Senator Ben Tillmad of South Carolina appeared before an immense audience at the court house last night under the auspices of the Alkhest Lyceum course, his subject being, "The Race Problem." He was introduced by Mayor Charles P. Smith, who said that Gadsen would not put any restrictions upon his utterances, but judging by the comment heard afterward the audience was not prepared for what was coming. He proceeded to handle his subject in his characteristic style and many who had gone, expecting to hear a polished orator, and to see a South Carolina gentleman of the old school, were very much disappointed. The Senator's language was at some point course in the extreme and bordered on the vulgar, so much so that many young ladies in the audience were seen to turn away with disgust. There was little developed in his speech but what has already been prized. This was Senator Tillman's first appearance here and if it is left to the public to decide it, will probably be his last. In a private conversation here it is said that he made some exceedingly caustic remarks concerning President Roosevelt, which would not be printable. Taken altogether, the lecture was a more disappointment to those who paid to hear it, and they will not soon forget the experience. AGAINST CASTE IN THE ARMY. From the New York Independent. The Negro regiments have had a fine record up to the Brownsville affair. Negro soldiers did brave work in the Civil War. They have done well in Cuba and the Philippines. Their white officers have fully approved their discipline and their courage. But that most unfortunate and criminal Brownsville shooting, which seems thus far to be proved, has most unfortunately dimmed their fame and grieved their friends, whatever may have been its provocation, and it is now reported that all Negro soldiers are to be sent to the Philippines. This raises the question, very distinctly formulated by Captain Steele, whether it is a right policy to have separate Negro regiments at all. They were organized in the interests of the rights of the Negro to equal part in the public service of war as well as peace. The Negroes have accepted the policy and taken pride in it, just as they do in their separate colored churches. They have not seen in it any Jim Crow policy of the Government, and yet the segregation of Negroes in army or church or school is a real discrimination on account of color and race, and therefore a recognition of inequality. Yet, on the other hand, it is such a recognition as prevails, more or less, all over the country, and is accepted in part on all sides. We do not defend it in the least, but for the comfort of those concerned it seems best that, for the present, colored churches should exist. This is the defense of the colored regiment. And yet it were well if there were no colored regiments and if colored men were equally admitted as soldiers in all our regiments. We do not believe that they would usually be treated unfairly. Fellowship of experience and work and danger makes fellowship of heart. There was no much trouble about their fellowship in our Revolutionary War, when white and black were mixed indiscriminately in the ranks, and when, as a German officer remarked in his diary, lately published, about half of the soldiers from Rhode Island were heroes, and doubtless they were admitted in all the regiments. What was done then could be done now. The army should know of no costs. Finding Out—Tommy, did you go to Mrs. Turner's office? I told you to ask about her mother. W. W. HART Successor to R. H.

On Monday evening, January 14, at Tammany Hall, the Calumet Cyclers added another distinct success to the long string of social affairs given by this popular organization. The occasion was the eleventh annual ball and reception of this club, which is one of the oldest, largest and most select organizations of the kind in New York State. The affair was a splendid success both socially and financially. On the floor were scores of beautifully grown gathers with flowers and the club members in funniest evening dress. The members, in addition, wore heavy silk sashes of the club's colors, old gold and navy blue. Excellent music was furnished by the New Amsterdam Orchestra, and the dancing floor of the hall, being one of the best in the city, an unbroken round of pleasure was enjoyed by all. The grand march was a feature of brilliance. The Calumets have won prizes in contests of nearly every description, both and out of the city, where appearances constantly in the choice, but never make these gallant gentlemen stepped higher or more gracefully than when executing the intricate figures of the grand march with their lady friends. The party ended at a late hour, all voting it a record affair. HONORS FOR E. E. HOLLAND. Grand Marshal of the Order of Moose. On Saturday evening, January 12, Mr. William Stanley Jones, Deputy Grand Master of the A. U. O. S. and D. B. and S. of Moose, at his well-appointed residence, 331 West 30th street, gave a dinner in honor of Mr. E. E. Holland, Grand Marshal of the A. U. O. S. and D. B. and S. of Moose. The invited guccies were: Mr. I. O. Waters, Ex-Grand High Priest, 237 Fifth avenue; Mr. I. O. Ewling, Worthy Installing Master, 270 Pulaski street, Brooklyn; Mr. Olliver Wilson, 326 West 37th street; Mr. T. Lockery, Worthy Installing Master, 330 West 37th street; Mr. John R. Robison, 80 Lorimer street, Brooklyn; Mr. I. O. Waters, Ex-G. H. P., toastmaster. Among many good things that were said in the interest of the Order. Mr. Waters dwelt upon the subject of "Success." He said in part: "In-God's world for those who are in earnest there is no failure. It would seem as if there could be no doubt that each and all of us desired to be successful in life. Our views as to what might constitute success doubtless would vary greatly, and what in the light of the present we might consider success at some future time might appear to us little short of a failure. It is written in the nature of man that his ideal of to-day shall change and not be his ideal of to-morrow, that as he unfolds to possibilities and powers he gets glimpses of new possibilities and powers, which in turn produces renewed aspiration and desire. There are two ways of surmounting the difficulties that confront us in life; one in is to go auralily, kindly, gardiness of consequences, without taking thought as to the best ways, and method of procedure, not letting through little expiration of the right way; the other, which is the easier, and better way, will be reached through the understanding and good judgment of those we have to deal with. Very often we pay no attention to the law that governs and controls all things we have to deal with, or those we must deal with, under certain laws, particularly the law of our Order. Some of the qualifications necessary for a successful life are integrity, faith and courage. The host, Mr. W. S. Jones, then stated his interest in the Order, Mr. E. E. Holland, guest of honor, spoke of his gratification, having such an honor bestowed upon him. A few encouraging remarks followed from Mr. L. C. Ewing, also Mr. Oliver Wilson. The menu was as follows: Oysters on half shell, Manhattan cocktail, chicken soup, rautereine, broiled bluefish, claret; entree, croquettes a la Mayonnaise, white wine; roast, turkey, cranberry sauce, spinach, cheese, salad, lettuce, Roquefort cheese, cracker; dessert, Neopolitan ice cream, Santa Cruz, dessert, demi-tasse, cigars, Canadian Club.

In his Emancipation Celebration ad- dress, at Mobile, January 1, Dr. H. Rager Williams said, among other thanks: "As a race we are passing through the most critical period, and our place in history will depend, largely, upon the way we acquire ourselves while passing through this ordeal, the crucial test of our worth in the economic and civic needs of the Republic. Races advance in civilization only as they push their way in and share the fruits of commercial effort; for civilization depends upon the activity of the merchant, who by his seal and acumen not only supplies the wants of his trade but seeks out new products of other climes, and furnishes a new market for commodities more or less unmarketable in the regions where they are indigenous. Thus business enterprises are the servants and benefactors of every community, and that race will always dictate the policy of the nation that does the most toward increasing its business enterprises and its revenues. "The fundamental problem of the hour is not color but business. A people living under unwholesome influences—in fifth, poverty, debauchery, vice, foul air, poorly prepared food, and in crowded dwellings, or damp localities, with no rule regulating their eating, sleeping, clothing or exercise; with an increasing death rate and susceptibility to contagious diseases from which they have immune—must, in natural consequence, depreciate property values, increase insatiability and hinder commercial interests wherever they are congregated in large numbers. "Now, this is exactly the position of our people in the South to-day; hence the problem so little understood, and so often discussed as the "Negro Problem." Changing from one section of the country to another without a change in characteristics, habits or modes of living, does not aid in the solution, because to the complication of the problem, and whereover our people have migrated in large numbers-North, South, East or West—the race problem has gone with them. The solution of the problem, then, is a work not for Congress, or other legislative bodies, nor for incendious speeches and indignation meetings: but for a firm, resolute determination on the part of every Negro to help himself and every member of the race to incubate and simulate these races and qualities which over these people must have who expect to survive and maintain a place in the world's estimation. The race that is looking upward must accept it as an axiom, that the sanctity of the home and the purity of family life is the foundation of human progress, for all personal and civic virtues are nurtured in the home. The ravages of sin on the viror of posterity begin with the relation of the parents. At the mother's knee, in sweet and clean lives about the father's table, in persistent watchfulness of habits and associations, the graft of youth is set, which, more than all else, will control the fruitage of the years to come. The dwelling houses of our people must be improved. The habit of crowding a large family into one sleeping room, and then fixing a pallet on the floor for the friend who has come to spend the night is the taproot for much of the immorality and consequent disease and death rate that hinder our progress. What man or woman can awake in the morning and feel cheerful, vigorous, energetic and keen in intellect after sleeping all night in an old, dilapidated stable, with poor ventilation, and a string of damp clothes bisecting every angle? "Our parents must be models for their children by living pure and upright lives before them. Children imitate not what you tell them, but what you do before them. Keep your boys and girls busy, and teach them to labor with their hands as well as with their brains. Idleness begets sin and crime, and a boy or girl who is too dignified to labor with the hands should be chloroformed and sent to heaven. It is indeed a pitiful sight to see a poor mother bending over wash tub while her boy and girl, because they cannot get a school to teach, or be appointed to some easy position, have decided to loaf. "We talk of, the world being against us, but I sometimes think our greatest enemies are among ourselves. Much of what we call race prejudice is but the fraternity from seeds of inophobia, hatiness, irresponsibility, diabolism, backbiting, slander, vice and immorality, sown by worthless members of our race with whom the dominant race has come in contact; and, not knowing enough about us to know that some of us as well as they, are above such ignory and shame, they denounce the whole race and put the stigma of class legislation upon us all. Through misunderstandings innocent members of the race have often been the victim of heated passion, and the prey of those who would wrench from its custodian the laws of the land. Even the Chief Executive of the nation, for whom we bled and died; and in honor of whom thousands of Negro babies have been named, has been caused to lift his heel against us, and treat us with contumely and shame. As a race, we must not speak unkindly of our Nation's chief. We must rejoice in the fact that North, South, East and West, the progressive, upright, honest Negroes who attend to their business and pay their debts, have no trouble whatever with their white neighbors or friends. In every instance where one has been the victim of unfortunate circumstances, the fair-minded and attainable race have ever been and ready to defend their cause. For good reason, let us give no cause for offense; let us quarantine ourselves and our families against the lazy, shiftless, good-for-nothing members of the race, who live only for the misforthey they can do. They pollute every home into which they enter, have no regard for law or honor, migrate from place to place, spreading crime and intimorality, and are a curse and hindrance to the progress of the race." Dr. Williams made a strong appeal for the protection of the women of his race, can urged his people to have race pride, to improve along the lines of economy, and urged that race enterprises be encouraged.

There is no such thing as weathermen land. Neither history nor science gives no any current for deceleration that the human race shall not some day turn every one of the land surface to good support. The new agricultural sciences of dry farming is to-day supplying irrigation in the reconfiguration of the thousands of acres in the "Great American Desert" of the old maps. At the German settlements on Victoria Kyron, under the equatorial sun, they have found a way to take every month in the year practically all the vegetables of Europe in the highest perfection. The French have found that a well yielding a thousand quarts of water a minute assures the irrigation of fifty thousand daphnia. They are tapping underground sources in the Bahamas. Of the walls they drilled in 1800, only one failed to bring water, more than one-third are yielding from 1,000 to 3,000 quarts a minute, the others are yielding substantial quantities, and they are the most fruitful and the most desert. Twenty years ago the first explorer of Mashouland wrote that he could see nothing them to attract European enterprise. Today railroads cross the country, hundreds of white farmers and miners are thriving, schools have been opened for young hopefuls of British parentage, and apple and grain harvests are garnered every year. We may trust our race in the long run to find a use for every neglected corner of the world. When these regions are needed in the scheme of human progress, human skill and perseverance will turn the waste places into utilities. How Crime is Funkled in Africa. The laws against theft, as among all primitive people, are very severe. In West Africa they have three modes of trying for theft: (1) circumstantial evidence; (2) direct testimony; (3) ordeal. The laws against adultery are very strict. The punishment is either fine, mutilation, or death. Three kinds of homicide are recognised: The punishment is death or a fine, according to circumstances. Ordeals and tests are used by the Africans, as formerly by the Assyrians, English, and others, to determine guilt. The ordeal is either by fire, water, or the taking of poison. The Joloff, to ascertain if a person is justly accused, apply a red hot iron to the accused one's tongue; if any symptom of pain is manifested the accused is declared guilty; if, on the other hand, the iron does not make any im ospriesenpunolthe? PPiwl ahdir hammel impression upon him he is acquitted. This finds an analogy in England, where in 1200 a woman accused of sorcery in the King's court purged herself by the ordeal of iron. The principal methods of punishment for crime are about the same as those used by other peoples; namely, fue, confiscation of property, selling into slavery, mutilation of the body, and death by beheading, by drinking poison (compare the same custom among the Greeks), by frowning, and by torture. In equatorial Africa they have a rude form of stocks consisting of a heavy billet of wood in which the feet are stuck and a lighter billet into which the arms are fastened.

Special Correspondence to The Ahm. LOUISVILLE, KY. January 16.—The Afro-Americans of this city have been very much around over a statement made by J. B. Atkinson, at a meeting of the Louisville School Board, in reference to the appointment of a colored truant officer. Mr. Atkinson being of the Ben Tillman stripe, made a scathing denunciation of the whole race, by declaring that he did not favor a Negro being a truant officer, and said further that so many "widely" have appeared for them here lately that I am disgusted with the whole race. How Marion Ripy introduced a resolution favoring the appointment of a colored truant officer, which was referred to the Finance Committee. Mr. Atkinson further constituted the whole race, and allowed himself to be bitter enemy of the colored people of this section. The Kentucky Standard in an able editorial, defends the race and strikes back at Trustee Atkinson in a most forcible manner. Because the Negroes were decent, respectable, clean and neatly dressed, he boldly declared that they were "dudes." It was learned that Mr. Atkinson was opposed to that kind of a Negro who had his race at heart, who was refined and, was doing everything possible to better conditions. When this class of applicants were mentioned this Tillmanite arose and declared that he was disgusted with the whole race. The other members of the school board who belong to the higher element of citizenship favored the appointment of a man who was clean in his character as in his clothes, and it is likely that the resolution will pass.

It is well known throughout the many states that the Great Depression operated with a great insurance business; has placed with the State Treasurer of Alabama $21,500 for the protection of its policyholders. This company gives a large business in nearly ten States; gives employment to more than 500 people, with its boss often the People's Investment and Banking Company is one of Birmingham's latest but most useful institutions operated by Negroes. By its plans every Negro can own a bank and have a handsome cash account. This institution is doing a nice outlet but expands and saving business in a modern worldpoint. Dwiping Order by the War Department Which Will Lend to a Hosp of Tull—Mr. Purpose Blessen the Order and Punish Out the Revival of Policy Inflicted by 10 Conditions in the Philippine Service Which Should Make Afro-American Thoughtful—The White South Judgment Over the Strange Order. It is announced that every member of the four Afro-American regiments of the regular army is to be stationed in the Philippine Islands, where the Twenty-fourth Infantry is already stationed. It is announced at the same time that this banishment is not intended as a punishment of the regiments, because of the alleged Brownerville affair, which has got the Administration in such a stew with the public opinion of the Republic and the Congress. But I am sure that there will be no tears shed by the Afro-American troopers because of their axile. They will be glad enough to get away from the United States, where they are treated by some of the people and all of the Government as if they were allena, without hope of promotion in the service, however meritorious their conduct in war and peace, and without right of trial "by due process of law" when they are accused of committing crime. The Philippines will be all right in the estimation of most of the people of the country other than American men think all of them and they will receive twenty per cent. increase in waves and a time allowance of two years for every one served in the Philippines. But the War Department has completely reversed itself in the policy adopted of sending these regiments to the Philippines. Between 1902 and 1908 Afro-American soldiers were not assigned to the Philippines at all, and no other sort of Afro-Americans were wanted in those islands, and were plainly given to understand this, as I learned from former soldiers in the Philippines when I was there. No explanation of this policy was given at the time, or since, I believe, but it was generally understood that it was because the Afro-American soldiers got along better with the Filipino people than the white soldiers, and sat in consequence, the Filipinos first rose to insurrectionism, in did not suit the purpose of the army clique, which desired those disturbances because they gave them a chance to distract them selves, after a fashion, and thus assured to them more rapid promotion in the service. And there was another reason. Vice-Governor Luke E. Wright, of Tennessee, and the four regiments of Southern white soldiers disbanded in the Philippines after the war, did not want any Afro-Americans around and about the islands, because, I heard one of them declare at Dagupan, "one sort of 'nigger' at a time, if you please, is enough." Most of these former Southern white soldiers were employed in the Civil Service, through the influence of Vice-Governor Wright, and when I was in the Philippines the whole situation was an stinkingly Southern as Mississippi and Tennessee, and the attitude of the American officials and the American newspapers four or five of which were being published then, was even as radical against and abusive of the Filipinos as the same wartime in the Southern States. nor Taft was not in sympathy with this attitude of the white Americans and press in the Philippines, and I never heard a man abused as he was by them after he declared in an address at Ioilo, in the Winter of 1803, that the Philippine Islands were for the Filipinos, and that those who did not like it could get out. And when Governor Taft was succeeded by Luke E. Wright there was such joy among the Americans and their newspapers as was never witnessed in the Philippines. But this was shortened at failure was written all over the administration of Luke E. Wright before he began it as I predicted when he was appointed Governor. I dare say that, with the goering of Luke E. Wright also went most of the Southerners who had pitched their tents in the islands and fattened on them, while poisoning the atmosphere with their vile prejudices, their supreme contempt of the Filipino and the Afro-American alike, and their reckless exhibition of it in speech and conduct, in season and out of season. I hope so. So determined was the policy to keep Afro-Americans out of the Philippine Islands that few of them were allowed to receive their discharge papers in the Islands, but had to wait and be mustered out at San Francisco. Many returned out of the Islands. One of these told me in Manila one Sunday afternoon, at a club, that we had presented himself to Quantermaster-Genial Timphrey the following conversation took place: "Where did you come from?" demanded the Q. M. G. "San Francisco," replied the former soldier. "Why did you come back?" "Because I have a wife here, a native woman, and because I like the country." "What do you want?" "I want a job in your department." "You have no business whatever in this country. You are not needed here. I have no job to give you. I will, however, also you transportation to the city that." "It don't want it," said the former军师, "I am going to remain in the Islands." "Very well; I have nothing for you," said the Q. M. G., with a wave of his hand. And in all of the civil government of the Islands no Afro-American was employed, if there was a way to get out of it. Shortage of white men to do the work, however, compelled the employment of some of them. But in the department of municipality and war under Vice-Governor Wright, and in the Geodetic Survey and other departments, no Afro-American was employed, and would not be accepted even when assigned to duty by the Civil Service Board. I saw several of these dishonored assignment papers, with the endorsement of Governor Taft on them; but there were plenty of the departments of his government of the Philippines in which Governor Taft had no influence whatever, where an Afro-American was concerned and Southern whites were chiefs. Ever since the Spanish War Afro-Americans have been barred out of the civil service of the Philippines and the other Inular territories. Even to-day it can be found, I believe, applicants for positions in that service are compelled to send photographs with their applications; when the photograph discloses an Afro-American, it is pigeonholed and never heard of more. Only last year a young woman, who made application for service as a trained nurse to the War Department, was assigned by accident to Panama, but when she reported to the authorities on the Isthmus she was never assigned to duty. and was returned to the United States after awhile with full salary and expenses paid, and no explanation. The matter was brought to the attention of the Washington authorities, but I have heard nothing further about it, and do not expect to. It is in keeping with the War Department's policy not to employ Now, as the Afro-American Islands have I War Department the barrieve in Islands?
