As a starter the reception room where the guests had assembled was invaded the room by members disguised as rumblers), seeking the person who had divulged secrets of the last dinner. He was found, seized and rushed out to be disciplined, and in the middle of the fight, the lightning change artist, he reappeared almost immediately, as changed in appearance as not to be recognized as a member of the party, marily ushered from among them a few moments before. He tremblingly stated that he had been roughly handled, and transmuted, as it wore, and that he was now a member of their probity. He then told them that by reason of his propitiation no one else would be disturbed, and that they would be permitted to enter the sanctuary in response to the roll call. Entering the beautifully decorated dining hall, they were directed by the letters and numbered tickets to help them locate the large gridiron table. President W. Lollard stated that a copy of the commemorative edition of the "Pon and Pon" book, which was inscribed by the club, would be found by the diners at their respective plates. He then called on the chairman of the government, for further report as to the editorial work, and was told that another and finer"edition was about to be issued to the chairman of the guests to be seated to the dining room "luxe" which, of course, was the dinner. The magazine, a booklet of eight pages and cover, was much commented upon by the press for its artistry, typography and ingenuous composition, included the announcement, a poem on Douglass by Joseph S. Cotter, the toastata, the menu, a puzzle page, answers to the questions, a collection of cards and members and guests purposely modified in epigram, quotation or reference, making their interpretation in connection with the headlines under the title, a poem, a sturge, all of which was in keeping with the announcement on the cover that it was "a magazine of doubtful purpose and purposeful doubt." This theme was the cut of Douglass on the cover was a quotation from his "Life and Times," which made him state the doubtfulness of the date of his birth. Even courses of the history of Douglass, terms, made the more confusing by the ambiguous turn given to the interlinear quotations. The connection be- Much merriment was occasioned by the readings of answers to correspondents' questions during the dinner service. The dinner was the parlor, pithy and sententious, and like most everything else, were susceptible of double construction, and as all had been admonished to "figure it out," the impatient student tried to make a pose. One of the questions asked by a correspondent was "Why have Messrs. Cook, Dyson, Decatron, Miller and Joiner, all teachers in Howard University, departed the Bording departure." The answer was "Milktaken about their keeping quiet. They have conjoined composed the following, which is now a classic of the campus, and is sung with the college yell." Fessor Gording, he has left us. Gone to think the matter over; Pate, so cruel, has bereft us; Howard, so cruel." This was followed with the following yell, the forty Howard graduates present rising, much to the surprise of those netted, and giving it with solemn Howard graduates don't you see? and you wouldn't you see "Sizzle Sizzle" on the screen."

New European Thieves Have Come Into Other People's Property. From The New York Sun. We shall have use for the German exhave no further use for the German expulsion " hinterland," as applied to large territories in Africa. The term has been used to indicate regions back of the coasts which, though claimed by one of another European power, are not definiteate governments concerned had not made treaty exactly outlining their respective possessions and the delimitation of international frontiers was still a matter of the future. There are no more hinterlands in Africa, because all the possessions have been outlined as far as can be done on paper. The delimitation of frontiers by scientific surveys is also far advanced. The British government commissions have so August last year had surveyed 9.081 miles of frontier. These boundary surveys have in the past four years contributed more than any other form of exploration to enlarge our exact knowledge of the continent. The technical work has been of a high order, and the British and German surveyors especially have contributed to every phase of geographical exploration. We see, therefore, the noteworthy knowledge of the peripheral zones of the various protectorates than of their interior regions. Every little while we have heard of the appointment of joint boundary commissions. They are chosen after the governments concerned have drawn up boundary agreements on broad lines, subject in small details, to the discoveries made by the commissioners. With such an agreement in hand the commissioners meet at one end of the boundary and march along it, exploring and mapping the boundary zone. Having arrived at the other end they agree upon the geographical position of the principal villages and decide upon the details of the province, particular attention to tribal boundaries and the future nationality of the villages. It is usually important to have the tribal territories and villages on one side or the other of the line, for confusion arises if these units are divided between two governments. The commissioners then travel back along the boundary they have fixed, erecting pillars and telling the chiefs what it all means. A protocol in duplicate is drawn up and signed and each chief commissioner forwards the protocol and maps with a report to his government. The protocol is then approved by the two governments, or in some instances a fresh agreement on the details of the protocol and signed by the representatives of the governments. This brief statement may serve to indicate the various stages through which frontier negotiations usually pass. The boundary commissions have disclosed many errors in the maps upon which governments based their international agreements. Great Britain is just now embarrassed by one of these errors. It was agreed between the British Government and the State that a part of the boundary between their territories should coincide with the meridian of 30 degree east of Greenwich. The map used in making the agreement showed this meridian as passing through the middle of Lake Albert Edward, which would give each country a part of the lake. But it is now found that the meridian is just of the lake, so that no British territory is within sight of it excepting near its narrow northeast arm. This does not suit Great Britain, and the delineation of the boundary has been delayed so that a slice of the lake may yet be secured. The rapids in the Cross River were to form the apex of an angle in one boundary line, but the joint commission found that the rapids were still more miles in longitude. The discovery was made by boundary surveyors that Lake Chind is not a great navigable inland sea, but two large shallow pools, never more than five feet deep, surrounded by swamps. The outflow from Lake Bangwoole runs in a direction different from that which suggested the Rhodesian-Congo agreement. These are in conjunction with a number of surveys have been helping to wipe out the errors that are still too numerous on the maps of Africa.

NEWARK, February 18.—The presbytery of Newark held its regular winter meeting on Wednesday, February 6. in the First Presbyterian church.

Actions speak louder than words, and with our people here it has been clearly words. Our sending this weekly letter is purely a work of love and interest in the welfare of our people. We get no pecuniary remuneration. We just hated to stay dead, unknown and forgotten, and we don't think things alive and going? Don't be thoughtless and selfish. Everybody has had a fair show, but unless we get two hundred subscribers real quick, our weekly letter will be a thing of the past. Two Fluids in Ferrolic PASSARC.

To the Editor of The New York Am: cahy theories for the betrayment of the Afro-American people have been introduced, in the last forty years, into our colleges and schools. And there is no reason why intelligent paraphrase should colleges before us witness a branch of our place of so many useful ideas. In the things that are taught in our schools this day, sensible and clear-minded thinkers than the indiscriminate production of human beings. I talked with a woman some age who was just recovering from a blow given to her husband, who was a slave brute, with a knife in her arms and no food or air in her arms. That woman had never known anything but misery and poverty in all her marriages. Yet the property she ability to and fatherhood is criminal. Genderhood age means an effort to prevent parenthood ability of such. Were our men and women taught scientifically the importance of proper breast conditions after a few months of pregnancy, and degree create specimens of the Negro and degree cause to cumber the earth. There is one Negro of either sex, at the age of twenty, who would not shrink from the heat of the sun, and be the parent of a deformed, diseased, insane or criminal child. Let us convince ourselves that good care can be governed scientifically, as plants and flowers are cultivated, and upon the parent the cause of birth is borne by the world will see the dawn of a new era and the birth of a new race. GERTRUDE NORTHWICK. Brooklyn, N. Y., February 18, 1907. DOUBLE STANDARD OF MORALITY. This Lady Thinks That What Is Good for Man Should be Good for Women. To the Editor of This New York Asc. Within recent years the union of the American people regarding the equality of sexes has undergone many changes. For a long time the mind of woman was thought to be so different from the mind of man that separate colleges were regarded as absolutely necessary for the highest welfare of the human family. Now the same institutions with men, have entered all the professions, and have proven their right to do so. Notwithstanding the may changes that have taken place, there are yet moral standards, by which met, and women are certain things is right for unjust. A certain thing is right for man, but wrong for woman, or vice-versa. Occasionally it happens that a man is unjustly with a lady. He has never proposed to marry her, nor has he given her any reasons to think so. However, without witnessing someone to answer the question of 'breach of promise', this compelled to pay a large sum or a term of imprisonment. In the other hand, a woman may break a number of marriage engagements and the court would not accept a charge of breach of promise. She would have ridicule the man who attempted to take a woman to justice on this charge. It is that a woman may break hundreds of hearts unmolested, while a man may suffer the keenest misery for failure. do what might be expected of him? Sickness there is a double standard of morality. A few months ago a woman was seen smoking a cigarette in the streets of or, of our cities. She was arrested and fled, and what thousands of men all boys allowed to do every day. We do not allow them to smoke. We enmitytally believe she should not. But why should she suffer thus, while thousands of men and boys go free? If the crime for woman to smoke in the streets is it not a crime for men and boys. This double standard not only exists in thearts of justice but also in society. When a woman steps over the lines of morality, society closes its doors against her. She accomplishes the act is perceived with unmolested. Braces and goes on unmolested. Why is not the associate in the crime her partner suffering? Because there is this double standard in morality. So she will be liable for this. As good women will ostracize from their circles bad women and still retaliate to the company of bad men, it will be victim of crimes of immorality. The Utopian day arrives that our future women will be the 'golden age', consider. Beady past, will then find its real direction the conduct of human beings. W. A. H. rd. Conn., February 16. NIE BONITA INSTITUTE for Education Body Needed in Louisiana-Agent Robinson. Louisiana—Agent Robinson. R. William Robinson, agent for the federal and industrial Institute, Ronita, who is now at 248 W. 32d street, in interest of the school, among other teachers to a representative of the New NY Art. "In the Boston Institute we are encouraging to drill boys and girls so that they can be well prepared to work well. A carpenter shop is needed at our schools. We also need $4,720 with help to pay a debt of that amount. Our students are encouraged to make their way, in life. In our schools we emphasize the truth, that the formation of character of more importance should be graded if I could get the attention of Greater New York turned to the need of education there, and a Christian education is the only power that will take a people of us. About 62.2 per cent, of the students need education, supervision, mentorship and mental darkness that is dense enough to be felt by all, educational advantages and facilities with which we are underinformed, but Christian thoroughly, in practice as well as in theory."

In appropriate and bottling terms, Mr. Randolph, the speaker of the evening, who spoke on "True Patriotism." A participant in this gifted woman; in clear and elquent terms she drew a distinct line between the two sides of the story, to the diving line in their enthusiasm and the spiritual and moral patriotism that characterized the actions of Abraham Lincoln. War; the speaker painted an impressive word picture of the present day tendency toward war; the speaker conditions that presented the full of ancient Babylon. Her statement of the truthfulness of the actions, can be used, not only to be treated as a ward, but as a man," was approved by vigorous and prolonged apprehension. She was the truthfulness of the ports' lines: "That lives of great men set before us in the past, and that skies Showing us that fame and honor. Await for those who strive to rise." Rev W. E.

To the Editor of Tus. New York As: In your issue of the 7th Inst., we noted an article by W. R. Whartley, from The Southern Americans, in which that gentleman discusses the question of "mixed blood" and its effect upon the negro. We agree that the question can easily be settled, if that gentleman would read the tenth chapter of Genesis. His argument is that the old African bellum argument in support of slavery, in an extended form. God never said that Ham should be a servant to Shem and Japheth; Noah said "Canaan should be" a servant, etc. Now, Canaan should be "a servant," he has been drunk, and because Noah uttered this curse upon the innocent Canaan, who was not even there, it is evidence that he was not entirely sober then. He does not say a word about Ham. He does not say a word about disapproval of Noah's course in this matter, where all conscientious people who want to understand can see it. As in direct contradiction of the effect of Ham's curse and the added effect of Ham to instruct the same (good man though he was), the tenth chapter gives an account of how the Lord favored Ham, and his descendants. It says they became the most renowned men of their time, and of such cities as Nineveh, Babylon, etc. The Bible speaks of Nimrod—in fact, this man was so good and great that his name was on every tongue. The Bible says: "Wherefore it is said, Even as the mighty hunter before the Lord." It seems to me, judging from the Bible narrative, that Mr. Whatley has deducted everything but that which will suit his purpose and give power to him. Edw. H.

But whoo looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, be being not a forgettell hearer, but a door of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.—(Sr. JAMES I., 22 25.) --- The After American's Politics In the last issue of THE AGE we reproduced from The New York Evening Post an article by its Washington correspondent on "The Race Used as Pawns in the Political Game," which covers much of the ground, complaint, anger, what not, which has been gone over, and will be gone over from time to time, by others, with opinions about it colored as their interests may dictate at the time. But in this whole question the Afro-American voter has an abiding and not a transient interest; the conditions of American politics are not and have not been such as to allow him to do as he often wished; it has been and is his sleeps aim to keep the vile Southern Democracy out of power in the nation. He has regarded this as his supreme duty, nob that he loved the Republican party or was blind to or ignorant of its coldness and indifference, often of its deliberate sacrifice of his rights and interests, but because he would give his hereditary enemy no aid and comfort. The Evening Post's correspondent, among other things, said: Viewed from this angle the very solidarity of the Negro in politics is a source of weakness instead of strength. His pledge in this respect is analogous to that of the eleven Southern States which have lost much of their political prestige because of the foreknowledge that they will always go Democratic whoever the candidate or whatever his qualifications. So long as the Negro remains a docile unit in the Republican party he will be at the mercy of aspiring and ambitious politicians who will use him as a stepping stone to higher things, and having used him, will pass on without turning, leaving it to his successors to do the same thing. When exigency of occasion demands, the Republican distribute politically eminent the Negro. They will present fully repatriated him to the services he has rendered either as a voter or as an issue. It has come to be that the Republican party is under deeper obligations to the Negroes in its ranks than the Negroes as a class are to the Republican party. Whatever has been the case in war times when the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, the Republican party of to-day is not held together by a common love of great moral principles. The present Republican party is a business machine and worships success as its god. It is organized and conducted to win elections. Its sense of discipline is strong; the individual must give way to the organization. To bring about a split in the party is counted the gravest form of treason. President Roosevelt, with all his striking out at abuses and freedom from control, has almost a morbid fear on this score. The Negro is used like any other cog in the machine, but the point is that he has not been "greased" so often and so lavishly as some of the other cogs. If the so-called Negro vote was an independent factor, its constituent individuals voting according to their principles and beliefs, and as each one of them saw the light, it would be sought for and catered to like the "Irish vote." "German vote." "Scandinavian vote." and "Polish vote." We understand as well as The *Evening Post* correspondent that our allegiance to the Republican party has been a source of race weakness from one point of view, but the object aimed at has been accomplished, as he states himself, in making the Democracy of the Southern white enemy a minority force in the politics of the nation. As long as the Solid South, based upon unpopulation of the rights of Afro-Americans, remains, we shall have a Solid North and West, and as long as that is so the white South will suffer for its outrages upon human rights by exclusion from domination in the affairs of the Government and participation in the positions, high honor in the foreign and & service. One THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1907. of the same progeny which the Afro-American party has held in New York and which may now be appointed President Roosevelt, in the meeting down of the established party, rule by appointing Democrats to high positions in the foreign and domestic service. Let Democrats remain out of office until their party triumphs at the polls. When a President ignores this rule be forfeited the confidence of not only his Afro-American partisans but of his partisans of all races. When the voters of this country want Democrats to hold high positions in the foreign and domestic service they will elect a Democrat as President. Theodore Roosevelt has ignored this rule, and it has done more than any other policy of his to demoralize the Republican party and to weaken the faith in him of the great body of citizens who voted for him, among other things, to keep the Democrats out of positions in the foreign and domestic service. Is it not a party scandal that a majority of the Civil Service Commissioners, for instance, are Democrats? Of course. And why should Afro-Americans be kept out of the familiar service to please the scandalous hards of Southern Democrats in it? And why should favors in the military service be prostituted to like purpose? There is another aspect of the subject in acting with the Republican party, as a mass, ever since their enfranchisement the Afro-American voters have acted with a majority of the American electorate, and helped to make possible to the country those policies in war and in peace which have made this country great in politics and in commerce. They are a part of the great body of citizens who helped to crush the slave Rebellion and to drive Spanish tyranny from the North American continent; who helped to make the financial credit of the country among the best in the world, by supporting the policies which made for a gold standard of values and by preventing the parties which have advocated greenback and sixteen-to-one heresies since from gaining control of the Federal machinery of government; who helped to develop the agricultural, forest and land resources of the country beyond the dreams of fabulists and to cover the globe with our commerce, the surplus products of loom and field and mine, making our prosperity the marvel of mankind; standing steadily with those who advocated such an economic policy as would best stimulate the growth and expansion of our resources and commerce. They have stood with the greatest thought and the wisest efforts of the Republic for a half a century, while the Southern whites have stood in opposition, and would have, had they sufficient power in the Government, given the Republic a divided country, a base currency, an economic policy which would have filled the land with souphouses and a Treasury deficit of $250,000,000, as was the case after the Free Trade Message of President Cleveland in 1877, and would have placarded the land with infamous class legislation and strife, as they have done in every Southern State. Are the Afro-Americans to have no credit from friends or foes for this, the highest service that a voter or a body of voters can render to their country? Are they to be jibbed and smeared at, by friends and foes, for doing the very things in their voting which are regarded as the pride and the glory of the Republic, in peace and war? It looks that way, and it makes us very tired to be lectured by upstarts about it in a captious and malicious way. Such lectures are an insult to the best and a vast majority of the American people. There have been but two parties in this country since the War of the Rebellion. All the other alleged parties have been impossibilities—the Prohibition party, the Greenback Labor party, the Populist party, the Socialist party—impossibilities which only a few people regarded seriously. A few Afro-Americans went after Wade Hampton in the Reconstruction period, but he deceived them; a few went after Watson and his Populist humbug, and he turned upon them; a few went after Grover Cleveland, among them the writer, and in his old age, with ambition to retire from private life still strong upon him, he swore he never was their friend, while one of his best Cabinet Secretaries has turned the dagger to their threats. But the great mass of the Afro-American voters have been instinctively, if not ratiocinatively, opposed to the Democratic party and leadership, because they felt it in their bones that they were opposed to them and their rights as men and citizens, and have, therefore, voted with the Republican party as the surest safeguard against Democratic villainy and treachery. But William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt, as the vile R. B. Hayes before them, have done much to shake their faith in the wisdom of sticking to the Republican party in the future. Is the Japanese Question Settled? It is accepted throughout the country that the Japanese question has been satisfactorily settled, as the outcome of the several conferences of the Washington authorities with the representatives of California, with Mayor Schmidt, of San Francisco, as the stormy petrel, under indictment for graft, who may have to serve a term in the penitentiary. It is a new chapter in the history of the Republic to have high questions of state settled by conference of the President of the United States and the Secretary of State with an indicated leader of grafters. The terms of the settlement appear to be that Japanese children will be admitted to the schools of San Francisco on equal terms with American children and the children of other foreigners, in consideration of the exclusion of Japanese laborers from the United States and the exclusion of American laborers from Japan. Americans are not bit hard by this exclusion plan, as very few of them are laborers in Japan, or would labor there for any other purpose than to get away, the Japanese scale of wages being fixed on the Japanese scale of living which is beyond the ability of any American to adapt himself to, and is but a shade higher than the Chinese scale. So in the settlement the Japanese gain the point they have expanded for, but applaud an advantage which is enjoyed to the full by all of the white races of Europe. It is said in explanation that the Japanese Government does not want its laborers to come to the United States; it wants them to go to Korea and Manchuria, which were acquired by Japan as one of the outcomes of the war with Russia. From our point of view, the exclusion of Japanese immigrants from the United States, when Europeans are allowed to come here, is as much a discrimination on account of race as exclusion from the white schools of San Francisco, and that the Japanese, in gaining one point, lose another of just as vital importance. But the question of discrimination against people on account of race and color has been brought up in the United States, which has a vital interest in the trade of the Far East, which cannot be whistled down the road, in such an influential way as to make no settlement of it not based in absolute justice out of the question. This may not be attained for the present, but a principle of right, whether domestic or international, is never settled until it is settled right. History discloses so much. And it is already amped from Tokyo, by way of Europe, that the Japanese Government has not subscribed to the principle of the exclusion of Japanese laborers in exchange for concession of the principle involved in the San Francisco dispute. That the Southern Senators should line up against the Japanese, as they do against the Chinese and Africans, really shows how undemocratic the contention is and what must be the final outcome of it. American prejudice based in race and color is doomed to eat grass on its belly. Governor Hughes for President. The newspapers and the politicians have begun to sit up and take note of Governor Charles E. Hughes, of New York, as a Presidential factor. They do well to do so. Governor Hughes is not a politician, but a plain citizen of large experience in the practice of the law and civic affairs, who believes in the enforcement of the law, whatever the character of the offenders may be. The chances are that he will grow in the estimation of the President-makers from now on, and that his may be a name to conjure by to confuse certain influences at work to control the nomination which bode no good to the country or to the Republican party. Secretary Taft and Vice-President Fairbanks loom large, but it looks as if they will be unable to command the support of their States in the convention, and no man will be nominated who cannot do that. Secretary Shaw is strong in his own right and in his position in the West and will make a good showing in the convention; but it seems to us that the tug-of-war will come between Joseph Benson Foraker, of Ohio, and Charles E. Hughes, of New York. What Lincoln May Have Done. Governor Warfield, of Maryland, is no prophet; he can neither see before nor after. In his Lincoln Day address at Pittsburgh he said: "Lincoln would never have sanctioned the indiscriminate enfranchisement of the Negro, nor approved of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, nor authorized the plundering and outrages of the situation period. It was not the elevation of the Negro to a social or political equality with the white man that Lincoln advocated. It was the institution of slavery that he disapproved. There is a physical difference between the white and black faces which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality." As Lincoln had not defined himself on any of these great questions, how can Governor Warfield declare what he would have done? He would have been governed by the exigencies of the times. But this is dend sure, that he would have put down the Ku-Klux Klan and kindred organizations of Southern assassins with an iron hand, even as he had put down the Slave Rebellion. A man was lynched in sight of the executive mansion, at Annapolis, recently, while Governor Warfield kept, and the murderers have not been apprehended. Does Governor Warfield imagine that Lincoln, as Governor of Maryland, would have stood for anything like that? Social equality is not the thing; equality under the laws is the thing. Ten Irishmen, who rotten-egged a play in Brooklyn because it bursed Irish life, were bound over to the Grand Jury in $300 ball for their zeal. Very good. But the chances are that the offensive play will be taken off the boards. Plays that maliciously burlesque or degrade any part of the citizenship, or tend to create riot and confusion, should be prohibited by the municipal authorities; and when they refuse to do it it will sometimes lead to more talk, rotten eggs, overripe vegetables, and perhaps to violent collisions. Afro-Americans have determined that in Lemon plays like "The Clansman" must peaceably be tooooooible, but that they must be as well. It will be so. Let Tom Dixon, the razor-faced man, take to the pulpit again and present the doctrine of "peace on earth, good will to men." A penny saved is a penny made. A Chinaman educated in the United States, "for ways that are dark in piety," as Bert Hart long ago celebrated in a song. One of them in California recently got a check for $ from some one in Kentucky. He promptly raised it to $8,000, managed to exchange it for a draft for $8,000 on Hong Kong, and then made for the Pteroy Kingdom and got the draft cashed before the deception was discovered. And now the detectives are hunting for him all over China. A Japanese recently collected the potato crop of the Pacific Coast, and in all of the States of the Pacific the Chinaman and Japanese show themselves shrewd business men on the one hand and good rascals on the other. General Kuropatkin, the commander in chief of the Russian army in the Russo-Japanese war, has written a history of the war, supposedly to show why he got whipped in every engagement. He shows that the material with which he had to fight was no good, from the War Office in St. Petersburg to the common soldier in the field. Before we had this explanation we were unable to understand General Kuropatyn's tertition, in which bases of retreat were pronounced feature. Indeed, he had a base of retreat for every emergency." The general who makes such provision always encourages the army and demoralises his own forces. The best fighters have had no bases of retreat, except in their mind. If the Southern delegates to the next National Republican Convention prove purchasable it will prove that the white ones are no good, as they now boss the job. It is a remarkable circumstance that the Afro-Americans of Mississippi have shown more commercial spirit than those of any other State. They control more business enterprises and have more banks than the Afro-Americans of any other State, and they have the strongest State organization of the National Business League. Mr. Charles Bana, of Mound Baye, the vicepresident of the Business League and cashier of the Mound Baye Bank, with the other wide-awake men and women of the State, deserve well of the Afro-American people all over for the splendid example they have set. And the Afro-Americans of Richmond who have four banks and all sorts of business enterprises may also deserve well of their fellows. Let the business spirit among us spread; let it be with us as it is with the Jews in this respect of captains of cash. The case of Senator Smoot of Utah in the Senate, Harry K. Thaw in the courts and the automobile in the newspapers are things that the average newspaper reader is tired of. Governor Edward C. Stokes is a statesman with a future. He could have succeeded Senator Dryden if he had been a common politician. But he declared that he was elected by the people to serve them as Governor, and that he would serve them to the end of his term, as he could not be elected Senator unless he should reign as Governor. Mr. Frank O. Briggs, who got the election, is a capable man, and the chances are that he will show up strong as a working force in the Senate. Governor Stokes has the confidence of the people and the politicians of his State, because he is capable and honest, and because he is no changling. When he is free to accept the Senatorship we think he can have it. If he wants it. The last report of Mr. Fred, R. Moore, the organizer of the National Negro Business League, shows that there are now in existence 441 active loyalties, 31 banks and 82 drug stores. The August meeting of the League at Topeka, Kan., promises to be great. Who shot up Brownsville—the Mexican greasers, who seem most to inhibit it, or the black soldier, whose lives were made a burden by the greasers and other toughs of the stinking sink? The Senate Committee on Military Affairs, which is investigating the incident, has so far brought out no evidence that does not tend to show that the soldier did not do it. If this should be the verdict, what will become of the President's Order of Discharge? An Italian who went South to pick cotton has just used the New York contractor who got him the job and sent him to Mia Malsiapal, for $25,000. He says he received just $1 for six months' work, an dhad to put up with all sorts of privations, discomforts, hardships and what nots. And down in Kemper County, Mia Malsiapal, the dear poor white trash do not want Italian children to attend the white schools. How does the South expect to get and keep foreign immigrants when the people who are there are treated as dogs are in their labor and wage relations? The Southern white man has a great many things to learn about certain things which he does not appear to be studying at all. An army of men and women swooped down on the Capitol in Washington last week to urge Congress to pass a law which will prohibit the sale of liquor in the District of Columbia. The Blue Ribbons should be too wise to carry coals to New Castle. The Senator or Representative who does not hit the bottle is a rare bird, and people usually vote the way they drink. Helicon Hall, a community affair started by Upton Sinclair, the author, gets more newspaper space of a sensational sort than should fall to the lot of a well-regulated experiment of community living. You can only get into Helicon Hall by natural selection, but we judge from what we have read about the thing in the newspapers that we would rather keep out of it than get into it. The Governor of Maryland. From The Baltimore Afro-American Ledger Two of the chief characteristics of the present Governor of Maryland is that he is a very fine looking old gentleman, and has the distinguished honor of being president of one of the largest bonding companies in this country. He is a real little darling, and dresses as neat as a sixteen year old lassie. He loves to praise the old-time "hefo" de wah darkey," which thanks to his kindly posing away, a way he could tell of his black my," and "Old Uncle Joe," but has very little use for the present day Afro-American. Lincoln's Birthday Burton, Iowa, Feb. 18. The Young Men's Christian Association celebrated the anniversary of Lincoln's birthday with an annual service at the First Congregational church. The speaker paid a high tribute to the worth and character of the great commander and said that his memory lives to every poor man a heritage of hope. IN THE PUBLIC EYE JOHN W. THOMPSON, of Rochester, N. Y. Built the Douglas Monument of Rochester. Treasurer of the National Afro-American Council since 1880. Member of the Monroe County Republican Committee. HOT POLITICS SIZZLE IN THE BLUE GRASS COUNTRY Afro-American Veterans Set Their Faces Against Two Judges and Favor a Third—They Mean Business and Something Must Drop. LOUISVILLE, Ky., February 15—The independence of the Afro-American voters in political affairs in this State asserted itself yesterday, before the State Central Republican Committee, which met in this city to arrange for the nomination of a State ticket to be voted on in November. Led by the valiant Dr. E. E. Underwood, of The Blue Grass Bugle, and W. A. Gaines, an catechile Federal office holder and National Grand Master of the United Brothers of Friendship, they set it be known positively and firmly that under no circumstances could the votes of the race be depended upon to support the Republican ticket if either Judge Ed. C. O'Rear of Montgomery County or Judge A. R. Burham of Madison County, were placed in nomination for Governor. Both the gentlemen were strong possibilities for the place. Animus is directed against the judge in particular because of certain positions taken by them separately on opinions handed down by the Court of Appeals affecting the rights of Afro-Americans, when each was a member of that court, and particularly the offense is more recent and particularly the offense is out of his way in the Berea College matter, in deciding simply the legal and judicial phase, as to drag the social aspect prominently before the public and insult the black people of the State. The insult is couched in the most perfect English, and if he was attempting to parade his knowledge of that language, he succeeded in minimizing it in arousing the undying enmity of every Afro-American in the State of Kentucky. Note his language: "The separation of the human family into races distinguished no less by color than by temperament and other qualities is as certain as anything in nature. Those of us who believe that all of this must always ordered, have no doubt of the wisdom of the ancients, and we are unable to say with assurance why it is so. Those who see in it only nature's work, may also conceive that in this order, as in all others in nature, there is unmerging justification. There exists in each race a homogeneity by which it will be judged, and in each race a territorial. Its instinct is gregarious. As a check, there is another, an antipathy, to other races, which some call race prejudice. This is nature's guard to prevent amalgamation of the races. A disregard of this antipathy to the point of judgment is another, an antipathy, and begins a resentment in a normal mind. If, then, he continues, "it is the legitimate exercise of the police power of the government to prevent the mixing of the races in cross-breeding, it would seem to be equally within the same power regulated that character of association which permits the resentment of the sideterm, the purity of racial blood." Just why the learned Chief Justice felt called upon to inject all this nonsense into his opinion has never been determined, and particularly aroused the use of the Afro-Americans, because the opposition to the bill prohibiting the attendance of both races upon the same school was not only because the judge had been socially with white students, but that they might receive the benefit of the superior training afforded at Beresa. No one has ever heard of the courtship of students of opposite colors at Beresa, or of any after-effects of such association. The Afro-Americans have determined, however, that the same "divinity" of the separation of the races, ordered likewise that he should never be Governor of Kentucky. The Afro-American voters of Kentucky realize that the chances of Republican victory were never brighter. Kentucky realizes that it is a too progressive State to be linked politically with the pernicious Solid South. To get rid of the obnoxious company, black voters must be respected. This seems to be the one time when they can get just about what they want. They are as much opposed to Mr. Burnham as to Mr. O'Rear. He, it will be remembered, was a member of the Court of Appeals when the constitutionality of the Jim Crow Car Law was called into question, and with Judges in the Court of Appeals and Judges B. L. Duffy, all Republicans, upholding the law. Thus it will be seen that Republicans decided the law in favor to "the culled population" and have never been forgiven for it. A man suitable to this particular branch of the log cabin markers seems to be found in the person of Judge Burnham, a county that is overwhelmingly Republican and where the Afro-American voters elist whom they please. Judge Breaththt, of Christian County, represents an ideal candidate. Our people claim that they do not want a man who claims to be a particular friend to the black man, and like T. R. will gush over him one minute and crush him to the earth the next. clim that the man who is an overly since deceased the Afro-American be about as dangerous as a man who is their enemy. What they want, and say they want, is a man who, regardless of race or color, feels and is competent to administer justice, does not, in his feeble mortal strength, reckon with the divinity in matters respecting black citizens. As to whether or not Judge Breathitt is his kind of a man must be left to the African-American with whom he has associated in political affairs for years and to whom he owes the debt of many a victory. That they realize that their cause is safe in his hands, is attested by the fact that they have suffered often and have never found him wanting. The most difficult job before the Republican voters of the State, however, is to convince Judge Breathitt that for the good of the party he should consent to the vote of the party. He will consent for the good of the party and there is no doubt of the course he will pursue. Harmony before the convention, harmony in the convention, insuring a harmonious campaign, is to insure Republican victory. If his nomination comes from the party, he will of the politician will not want the will of the party to convention, then the choice will be Judge Breathitt and he will be sure to win. Just at present the Judge is non-committal, and it is difficult to ascertain from his closest friends if he will depending on the nominee. But on one thing, the party leaders can convince a strong man who can command of all sides and shades of the file of the party, and the size of the party, be only the matriarch. The Republican cannot hope to win without the vote. The acquisition of that shade of ballot markers is an question with either O'Rearham. As far as the Afro-American concerned, it is "Zionism" them tite HORACE. ALABAMA CONVICT SYST President Shirley Condemns Strongest Term From The New York Sur According to President Shirle of the Alabama Board of Insp Convicts, the system under which lawbreakers are leased to labor no rate contract is now than ever before in its history. The mand for labor in the mines is so g that most of the convicts go to them work for which many are entirely un If the leased convict falls ill he is likely to get the attention his condit, may require. Mr. Bragg puts the matt- blush. If the State wishes to kill its conv icts it should do it directly, and no indirectly. The Legislator who would introduce bill providing the death penalty for minors offences would be looked on as a man man, yet the practice of leasing convicc amounts, in more than a few cases, to the offenders. The legislature demands the violators of its laws to confinement and to such labor as a contract wants done, not such as the convict capable of performing. Mr. Bragg wants to have the system changed and a refor in the treatment of criminals begun. The prosecutors sentenced to the penitentiary, those whose terms were under six months hired in the county of their conviction He says: "I am well aware of the fact that they would add additional cost to the State would add this cost to the State the proper treatment is accorded those poor defenceless creatures, many of whom ought never to have been arrested and tried at all." Conditions are not worse in Alabama than they are in other convict-leased States. The indictment of one might any other, the proper change is any other. The system is unjust to victim and to society. ITALIANS MUST STAY AT HOME Government Becoming Alarmed On Depopulation and Lack of Laborer Special (able Dispatch to the New York St. Rome, February 13—Recent statistic show that Italy's population for the five years has been gradually decrement. In several of the provinces which I push the largest contingents of emigrants out to the already outnumber the 1920s while others the population is stationary. The lack of laborers is felt everywhere throughout the country. Emigration considered to be the main cause of depopulation. Hence the Government instead of encouraging it as heretofore intends to adopt restrictive measures. A Philadelphia Loan Association From the Philadelphia Couart.

Large Attendance at Utica Institute Addressed by Principal W. H. Holtclaw at Greatest Meeting Yet Hold —Important Resolutions Involved and Adopted by Conference. Utica, Miss., February 18.—William H. Holtclaw, principal of the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute, and president of the Minnesota Negro Farmers' Conference, in delivering his annual address to-day in the Institute chapel to a large concourse of farmers from every part of the State, attending the Third Annual Farmers' Conference of the State of Minnesota, said: "I congratulate you, gentlemen of the Conference, upon your success in being able to gather together in such large numbers to discuss matters touching your occupation. To you the State of Mississippi a dot which it will be difficult to pay. You are the backbone of our believed commonwealth. I take for granted that every farmer here is struggling to better his conditions. As a member of the race I am proud of this, for as you succeed in the struggle every man in our State will enjoy the benefits of your success. You must not get discouraged in your efforts. You must be discouraged and hold hardiness and goodwill and make yourselves good citizens. Don't let any obstacle discourage you, but work, work, work. Every honest effort will bear fruit. Don't get into the habit of going about with your hands hung down, feeling that your lot is the worst of all men living. Brace up and look the world in the face. Here in Mississippi we enjoy many privileges along with our disadvantages. If we show a disposition to get up out of trouble and fifth and third of despair, we can for sure find our own standard of living, there is no decent white man among all our fellow-citizens to discourage us. If any of you present has the money and want a home you can easily find a white man who will take that money. Just here let me say that you must get property. No people will be tolerated long in any country who are simply hangers-on. Make yourselves a part of your little community, wherever it is. Make friends of your邻居, white black slack thememen, go in world affairs working six days in the week and sleeping seven nights. There is scarcely a single man here who has not lost enough time hanging around town on Saturdays to buy him several acres of land if converted into money. "Just one other thought. Here in our State we have special railroad cars set aside for our exclusive benefit. Let us see to it that so far as each of us is individually concerned these cars shall be free from expectoration, peanut hulls, orange and banana peels, and other items attached to the train. Not only in the cars, but in all public conveyances, hotels, on the street, and wherever we find ourselves, be the most decent and self-respecting people there to be found. Carry these ideas into practice and in the future Minnesota will possess a class of Afro-Americans that the civilized world will respect and honor. The Conference through a committee composed of W. S. Pleasant, E. H. Patton and Thos. J. Johnson: "We, the members of the Farmers' Conference, of the State of Minnesota, desire to go on record as follows: "We urge our people everywhere, the majority of whom are farmers, to plant their whole case on the ownership of a home. Purue this object by a dedication and a dedication until it is accomplished. With the acquisition of a home will come many of the cardinal virtues." "That our teachers of the rural school show, at least, as much strength and foreight in the building of good school buildings as our preachers have shown in the building of church houses; and that our people everywhere set aside some portion of what they earn every year to lengthen the public school term and help to make a better system of schools throughout the State. "That we are unalterably opposed to all crimes of whatever nature, whether committed by the police, the police will be on with offices of the law in the apprehension of criminals of every sort among us. We also urge our people to refuse to be used as tools to commit offences against the law. "We are opposed with all our souls to the violation of the person of women of whatever race, and will do all in our power to bring all such offenders to justice. In this connection we condemn lynching as us-American, un-Christian, un-American, and unjustifiable to the foundation upon which our social system rests. We believe that all patriotic Mississippi will agree with us that there can be absolutely no necessity for lynching a poor, trembling, wretched, beautiful Negro who has committed some heinous crime because of ignorance, especially when all the law is in the hands of the very men who may do the lynching. We beg the makers of this law to recognize our for race. As we come to see the light of civilization more we will aid in this respect. "That we take our white fellow-citizens in perfect faith when they tell us they do not desire social equality. We beg them to accept our declarations in the same good faith. If we do not seek to force himself into close social contact with any other race than his own, it is the most degraded member to be found. Intelligent Negroes scorn the idea of forcing themselves socially upon any people. If, therefore, white men are forced to be consummation of their desires by helping to educate the Negroes. "We crave, work, struggle for better relations and a better understanding with the white race among whom we live. To this end we suggest that meetings composed of members of both races be held at frequent intervals when all questions affecting the interests of both races can be discussed and settled satisfactorily. We are ready and willing, yes, anxious to meet our white brethern more than half way. That we have unfailing faith in our race, we believe that what we see we accomplished is only an imposition what will come to pass in the future. But whatever may be the results of the future, we urge all our people to so live and work that at the final reckoning all must acknowledge they have done what they could." Helpful addresses were delivered by Prof. L. J. Rowan, President of Alcorn A. and M. College; Prof. E. H. Patton, of the same college, and elder Higgins and Pleasant. Prof. Rowan declared that no matter what discouragements face us, the good white people of the State of Mississippi are our friends. It was the greatest meeting ever held at the Institute. Lincoln Assembly Newark, Feb. 18.—The first annual Lincoln assembly and drama given by the Young Men's Cooperative League, Tuesday, February 18, at 10 a.m. A large crowd attended and enjoy *lining up at the straits of Smith Broth's Orchestra*. The drama, "The Man from Maine," was well rendered and received. The Tuxedo Dancing Class will hold its first annual souvenir reception, Friday, February 22. Joseph Douglas and Wife President in Successful Hospital—Social and Personal Necessity. New Haven, February 18.—The arguments, in the trial of Samuel H. Knox, who is charged with shooting and killing Frederick M. Kelly on New Year's night, were opened in the Superior Court before Judge Case last Tuesday morning, the 12th. Assistant Attorney Wheeler opened the argument for the State. He followed by E. I. Kelly who opened for defense. In fact, the actual arguments in the case were made by State Attorney Williams for the State and Attorney Jacob Goodhart for the defense. Mr. Goodhart's argument to the court and jury, though direct to the jury, was in part as follows: "I am not going to take up your time by talking any racial prejudice. This man has a black skin; we have white skin. But as you go out to-day you will see hanging from the pole across the street and from every other patriotic place a flag that to-day files in honor of the birth of the man who year ago puttten all that that man had done to him. Also Lincoln it isn't necessary for me to dwell on any difference in color. Lincoln said long ago we are all equal in the eyes of the law and you must agree with him." He referred to Knox's story on the stand in which he had said he shot Kelley because he had to protect himself and wife. "That story is ringing in my ears as if it had been told only five minutes ago, as it must be in yours. If you think he told the truth, please consider it." Mr. Goodhart furthermore argued that it duty to tell the truth, deprive this of his liberty to set an example. It "will be a far better example for you to declare that a black man can walk through the streets unmolested." "You know what trouble these people had and have still in many places. The law of the land says they have equal rights with all men and in making an example you must consider the law of the land." Mr. Goodhart finished his argument at one clock, then the court took a recess when appointed, Attorney Willingham closed for the state. At 12:50 Wednesday the jury filed into their seats and announced the verdict. "Guilty of manslaughter." Judge Case then sentenced Knox to Wetherfield for not less than five nor more than seven years. The extreme penalty for manslaughter in fifteen years. Samuel Knox is a happy man to thank his humble and profound thanks to the court, jury, counsel and his friends were unaffected. At the Bethel Church star concert, last Tuesday evening, held in the auditorium of the church, Joseph Douglass, the greatest Afro-American violinist of the States, and Mrs. Douglass played the star role. Mr. Douglass gets out about everything the instrument has in it; the expression the feeling and the passion with which he played was simply great. He is an artist with grace, charm and splendid technique. The program opened with a piano solo by Miss Effie Grant. The home talent were: Miss Effie Grant, Lilian M. Lynch and Pearl Brown, and Messrs. William Griffin and Arthur Smith. The support of the home talent was never better rendered. By request Miss Grant sang "The Swallow" charmingly; reading the "Tremolo Stop" by Miss Lynch was well received, as was also the singing of Miss Brown. The music literally packed with people, which gave the committee an unqualified success. Rev. Wm. St. A. Lynch, D.D., is the pastor. Some of the members of Bethel Church with a party of their friends formed a sleighing party and met at the residence of Mrs. C. C. Grant, 12 Edwards avenue, last Tuesday evening, and rode to the residence of Miss Louise Fowler, who was sitting in the enjoyed elaborate spread. Miss Manning is a young woman of congeniality and a graceful entertainer; she is a devoted and an elifying member of the above church, which she grew up in from childhood. Those in the party were as follows: Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hickman Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Johnson Mrs. H. Johnson Mrs. John, Henson, Mrs. W. H. Ferguson, Mrs. R. H. Jackson, Mrs. Emma Benton, Mrs. Thomas Ennell, Mrs. Anthony Whittington, Mrs. Fatio and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Douglass, of Washington, D. C. The Ladies' Parish Aid Society of St. Luke's P. E. Church, gave a Shrove ten Shrove ten Shrove ten Mrs. T. S. Douglass, 29 Ashmun street. A large number were present and an enjoyable evening was spent. The services at St. Luke's P. E. Church, Rev.

A WEST INDIAN WONDER Without Legs or Arms He Done Heaps of' Thrills—Two Hospitals. PHILADELPHIA, February 18.—There are lots of men with no physical defects who are not as happy as Randion, a legless and armless West Indian, who has made this city his headquarters for some time, exhibiting himself at the museums in the vielity. Although he can travel in a suit case, Randion declared emphatically that he always paid his fare on the bus and chin he shaved himself and cut the hair of Sparti, his West Indian companion. As he was navigating near the left ear Randion looked as though he was about to anzease. If he had, he would have cut his throat. Sparti gave Randion a stern look, and the half-formed maze collapsed, thus saving Randion's life. He rolled a cigarette with his face and tongue as cleverly as a Spaniard; he threaded a needle, played a game of hide and seek, and knocked the ashes from a cigar with a marble, played a tune on a brass flute, and did many other astonishing things. His greatest trick was that of making a tidy with his mouth. He folded a piece of paper with his mouth, then cut the creases with a knife. When he opened out the paper with his mouth it was an artistic jidy. Randion made the flute on which he plays from a bit-of brass pipe. He gave mage to the museum and collections for he laughed heartily when he had finished. Randion weighs 57 pounds and is 32 inches in height. He has a wife and two children in the West India. The new hospital, "The Mercy," corner Seventeenth and Fitzwater streets, was opened to the public on Tuesday, February 12, with auspicious exercises. The building committee of the Douglass Hospital has awarded its contract for the erection of a modern, up-to-date hospital on Lombard street. Disappointed by Conditions in Liberia, on the cabin passengers on the steamship Majesty which arrived Friday last week Bishop C. S.

THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1907. VIRGINIANS MAKING GOOD. THEY OWN COOPERATION IN PROPERTY AND HAVE SUPPLIES IN BANKS. They Own One-eighth of Total Area of the State and Are Still Buying- Healthy Condition of the Four Banks in Richmond-Spendell Shipping as Effect of Charge of Allied Thriftlessness and Criminality- No Lynching in the State During the Past Year. RICHMOND, Va., February 18.—It is amusing at times to hear some of the Afro-Americans' "best white friends" in the South tell how abflent the race is becoming; so much so and so unreliable that he is going to the "bow-wows," and that white labor of the immigrant class must be imported to take his place. I do not know how much so that shiftlessness may be in States further south in Dixia, but if what is said about the Afro-American further south than we are has more coloring of truth than what we have of Virginia, Virginia Afro-American, then the Afro-American of the South is grossly, wilfully and maliciously lied. I feel safe in saying that in no State in the South have Afro-Americans shown more real enterprise and thrift than in Virginia. That we are law-abiding to an unusual degree is shown by the fact that as greatly strained as have been the relations between the two races in the South during the past twelve months, and when Afro-Americans have been lynched for "any old thing," oftentimes for nothing, save that they are Afro-Americans and a mob of booze-frenzied, race-prejudiced, barbarian, quiet and determined people, running for Afro-American gore, there was not a single lynching by the mob in all the State last year. There were, no doubt, a few judicial lynchings, though. At the close of business, January 20, 1907, the four savings banks operated here by Afro-Americans filed their quarterly report with the State Corporation, as required by law. The Savings Bank of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, have resources valued at $380,000.34; St. Luke Penny Savings Bank, $64,339.97; Mechanics Savings Bank, $122,514.71. Figures for the Nickel Savings Bank are not available at this writing. GEORGE ST. JULIAN STEPHENS. TELEGRAPHY IN AFRICA. Cool Rhodes' Big Dream Soon to Be Reallied. From The New York Sun. Wireless telegraphy is to take a part in the opening of Africa. Its services are invoked just now to complete the line of overland telegraphic communication between Cape Town and the Mediterranean. Fifteen years ago, while Mahdiam was still rampant in the Soudan and before Cecil Rhodes had lauched his scheme for a railroad from the Cape to Cairo, that financial potentate declared that he intended to stretch a telegraph wire from the Cape of Good Hope to the Mediterranean. The work was started at the southern end and all was smooth sailing till the wire crossed the Zambesi and got into the barbarous regions beyond. Then the line could advance no faster than friendship were formed with the black kingtia, who were subsidized with beads and brass wire to assure the safety of the line in their respective domains. So the line pushed on through forest and jungle till it passed up the east shore of Lake Tanganyika and finally halted at Uijii. This Arah settlement is famous as the place where Mr. Stanley one morning lifted his hat to a feeble old man and remarked: "Dr. Livingstone, I believe." There the end of the line has remained for about 20 years, for the reason that it is German territory. The old and mountainous region to the north is difficult for telegraph construction and the white rulers as yet have had little to do with their subjects between Tanganyika and Victoria Nyanza. Meanwhile, the line from the north has been pushed south clear through the Southern and Uganda to Port Victoria, on the shore of the greatest of African lakes. A gap of only 450 miles remains to complete the transcontinental enterprise. Preparations are now being made to establish wireless telegraphy across the ocean, the project being completed in a way that Rhodes never dreamed of when he grasped the great idea of stretching an electric line between the north and south of Africa. JANITOR HEIR TO $25,000. Drops His Job and Scoots When He Hears the News ATLANTIC CITY, February 12.—Discovery of a deposit left by his father in the ruins of a Washington bank raised to-day John Webster, Negro janitor of the City Hall, to the moneyed ranks. The bequest will amount to between $30,000 and $50,000, and is to be divided between Webster and a brother who lives in the capital. Delighted at his good fortune, the janitor threw up his job and has gone to claim the money. According to the story received by Webster from the brother the money is the accumulation of a smaller sum placed in the bank twenty-seven years ago by the father, who is believed to have received it from a former master in the South as a bequest some time after the war, the old man continue along as employee in the Government buildings and up to the time of his death, a few weeks ago, none of his relatives knew of the money, which he placed at interest immediately on its receipt.

Norfolk, Newport, News and Richmond Leading the Prosecution, But Business Figures Are All Along the Way—Blue Hole Hue a Hospital—Phill Watson Burry With Approaches—Hopeful Business Outlook—The National Meeting. The new made a trip through Virginia and West Virginia during the month of January. His first visit was to Frederickburg, Va., which has a colored population of 1,200, a large number of whom own their homes, are thrifty and are on friendly terms with the whites. A local business league was established in 1910, and it is named by active and energetic men. Frederickburg took out a charter. The next visit was to Newport News, where a most enthusiastic meeting was held; and under the leadership of the Newport News, K. O. Brown, Matt Lewis and Mr. Coleman, who is the owner of an up-to-date drug store, new inspiration was given the people to become more in-prices and making the league a useful instrument in the development of race pride. Newport News has many worthy business establishments. A charter was taken, and a new executive interest of Major Moton and Capt. Washington, it was my pleasure to meet all of the business men of Hampton. After a most pleasant interchange of ideas by manliness a charter was taken. My next visit was to Suffolk, where the colored people turned out on mace. The hall was unequal to the demand. A most enthusiastic meeting was held, an organization was effected, and it was voted to the election. W. H. W. was elected president, and he has the reputation of being a hunter. He is in the contracting business and is now buoy perfecting arrangements for the State league meeting in March. This meeting promises to be the largest held and will mean the future of the Negro along business lines. I next visited Farmville, Petersburg, and Norfolk, and had most satisfactory results. Norfolk, although hitherto inactive, has caught the tever, and with Kev. W. W. Moss and C. S. Carter, who is the most active business man conducting the business, furnishing establishment, will be in the fore front of business leagues. A charter will be taken. I met with the Baptist ministers on the following Monday, and after offering the prayer I urged upon them the importance of practical support those engaged in business, and a rising vote was tendered me. My next visit was to Richmond, where a large meeting was held and most helpful talks were had with all of the representative business men and women. The meeting was stimulating larger support of race enterprises. The latest business started is a confectionery and dining parlors on Main street. Richmond is a beehive of business establishments. The writer was confronted with big headlines in the aftermath of the shooting through the South defending the action of the President in the removal of the soldiers, which report he branded as false. My work was in behalf of the Negro Business League. The next trip was to Lynchburg, and a new meeting took the council, and Dr. A. N. Lushington, the president of the lea, will hercaster direct affairs. They will take a charter. Roanoke was the next place, and I got in touch with the leading men, at the head of whom is Dr. Burrell, the owner of the business, and the co-operation a league is promised. All agreed that one is very much needed. West Virginia, where we have fewer leagues than elsewhere, was visited. Bluefield was the first stopping place, and a splendid reception was given me. The church in which the meetings was held was called to order by Dr. Jackson, who has an established hospital. A most helpful address was delivered by Mr. Fowler, the president of the leading bank, and Mr. Simmia, a leading furniture dealer. A league was organized, and by unanimous vote a charter taken. A group of business men, and left with them the plan of organization. My next jump was to Huntington, and there a good meeting was held and a live league will hereafter exist. Charleston was the next visited, but owing to revival services it was not possible to get meeting. I was invited to the people together. I found Mr. Phil Waters busy at the State House getting the appropriation bills in shape. At Hinton I found the people awaiting me, and a strong league was established. A charter will be taken. My closing visit was to Clifton Forge, where I had been a strong effort of Dr. D. T. Connor and the pastor of the Baptist Church, a splendid audience. A league was organised and a charter will be taken. I returned home feeling encouraged that success had attended my efforts on behalf of the National Negro Business League. Bear in mind that the annual meeting was held at Topela, Kan., August 14, 15, 10. KRED R. MOORE, Organizer. New York, February 18, 1907. PROF. DU BOIS IN CHICAGO. Predicts Race Will Equal All Other Races—Urgers Higher Education as Solution of the Race Problem. CHICAGO, February 11.—"The Negro knows that he is a part of one of the world's great historic races, and that the time is coming when that race will play its part in the future," he said in side with the other races, and not one whit behind." This was the prophecy uttered last night by Professor William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, of Atlanta University, when he spoke in Cobb Lecture Hall in Chicago University, on "Sociology and Industry Southern Education." His audience was made up of the combined membership of the Woman's Union, the Political Economy Club, the Commonwealth Club and the Sociology Club of the university. He was the force of superior numbers of the white race is keeping the black man in social and intellectual subjection. "The seventy millions of white men may succeed in crushing the ten millions of black men, but to do so would be neither nor kind nor civilization. It would be against humanity and Christianity ideals." The professor plead for the higher education of the Negro as a solution of the race problem. He urged the government for the construction of high-quality classes for discovering the talented tenth which are the leaders in the advance of every race. He declared that the Negro problem is not one of petty crime or of industrial progress, but of human aspirations. He said with confidence that it is possible for the white citizens of America to murder the aspirations of ten millions of men, then America is not yet civilized.

Mr. Henry Clow, the Scholarly Financially, Discoveries on "Tainted Money" - Public Spirit of Money Men in War and Peace - The Philosopher, thresher of Corngrove, Stanford, Rockefeller and Others. Mr. Henry Clews, LLD, the distinguished financier and scholar, contributes an illuminating article to The Wall Street Daily News, on great fortunes and corporations, from which we make the following extracts: "The Socialist and yellow newspapers have quickened and fomented this discontent, and raised a loud outcry against the large capitalists and the industrial combinations called Trusts. They have denounced them as hostile to the interests of the people, and a source of grave danger to the country, and even to our republican form of government. "In the same spirit, the donations of some of our rich men to laudable public objects, including schools, colleges and churches, have been branded as 'tainted' and 'unjustified' by the wealth of the donors was acquired in business. This was the result of a narrow and unjust view of the matter, for money not stolen, but made in trade, whether by questionable methods or not, does not carry a taint with it when given away. It is indeed purified, if purification is necessary, by charitable and philanthropic motives, upon worthy institutions or persons. "To criticise and spurn the offer of surplus wealth in this way, from any source, except the proceeds of robbery, is to help to dry up, or check, the flow from the fountain of charity, which is never too abundant for the demands upon it. The ary of tainted money is therefore to be cut off, public service, for it is discouraging to benevolence by both saints and sinners. An old proverb tells us that we should never look a gift horse in the mouth. I have spoken of tainted money; in connection with that I will tell you a good story: Two Irishmen were talking about the Standard Company. One named it 'tainted John Rockefeller's money is tainted'? Yes, I do. Pat; it has two taints on it—'taint your'n and 'taint mine.' Those who talk about such money become the ones who know lust and just that these two lusts "To say that there is peril to the nation in large individual fortunes and large aggregations of corporate capital is to imagine a danger which does not exist, in the country there is no law of estate and in the country there is no law of aggregation of anyone is soon distributed after its possessor's death. It takes to itself wings. There is no eldest son to inherit the estate so as to properly maintain and add dignity to the family name and brothers and sisters are left in comparative poverty. We are here all free and equal." "Moreover, rich Americans spend money more freely and lavishly and live more luxuriously and expensively than the people of any other country, and this tends to keep down or reduce large fortunes. Our rich men are also enterprise-minded, commercial and industrial ventures, and generally equally so in their ordinary business and speculative operations. This does good, for it not only keeps their money circulating, but gives employment to labor, stimulates trade and aids in the development of our national resources. We have a special exception to the rule of extravagance among the rich, because he was one of the plain people, a plain man with plain, economical tastes, and his rise from poverty to great wealth made no difference in his tastes. But even he kept much of his income on a circular basis in his business as a money lender Wall Street. There was no danger to either the people or republican institutions from his possession of so much money, the latest estimate of its amount being $70,000,000, and now that his widow was inherited his vast fortune she had to support her business and benefactions. It will then be practically thrown to the four winds of heaven. "The profits of the trusta, of course, find their way into the pockets of their stockholders and enrich some of the largest beyond the dreams of avarice; but the benefactions of Andrew Carnegie and Andrew Dickson Bell have enabled the wealth derived from these corporate combinations, these much-abused trusts, may be used for the benefit of their fellow-citizens. Leland Stanford, of Stanford University fame; D. O. Mills and many other heavy stockholders in large corporations have been equally public-spiriting and dedicated to the treatments to promote the public welfare. These large capitalists have shown that there was no menace to the people's interests in the wealth they possessed and that there was no substantial foundation for the socialistic cry against the money power of great millionaires any more than the money power of great corporations when they are honestly managed in conformity with law. "When we hear or read smeers or distresses against our very rich trust millionaires, let us remember that Andrew Carnegie has already given away sixty millions of dollars for popular libraries and other public purposes. There is no danger or means in this, not even to him, for he has probably more than three times as much left. "Great wealth, indeed, naturally makes all men conservative and invests them with a sense of responsibility to others and to the public that insures their being good and law-abiding citizens. It makes them practical patrons and upbuilders among rich men and no radical political extremists even among very rich men. "Wealth in good hands serves good purposes. The richest men of the Thirteen Colonies in the American revolution were among the most active and self-sacrificing of American patrons. They included George Washington, John Locke, John Knox, John Johnson and Robert Morris, whose names are imperishable on our national roll of fame. WORKERS OF THE AGE.—No. 3 O Divinity School of the Protestant Episcopal Church Secures Prominent Speaker on "Hogre Problem"—A. M. M. Milkhorn Meet. Philadelphia, Feb. 18—Dr. Bocher T. Washington began a series of lectures on the Divinity School of the Protestant Episcopal Church, at Holy Trinity Parish House. He was greeted by the largest auditorium the Bull course was started a few years ago. He confined his discussion to the economic value of the Afro-American as a slave, he said, gave him an industrial his descendants had a great influence on his descendants. Webster *Ballinger*, Eq. a attorney for the A. M. E. ministers' Becting, at No. 631 Pine street, last week to urge the A. M. E. ministers' hand up and fight for their property rights. Mr. Ballinger said that he had come to the conference to show to the ministers the conditions that existed in Indian Territory in their reins. He went on to say that many years ago a grant of land was made to the Choctaw commission was appolated granting to every full-blooded Indian a plot of ground, and the commission tainted that of the Indian such taint forever debarred him from his property rights. That one little drop of Afro-American race, and that one little drop of Indian Territory, a conference that even the Government imposes upon the Afro-American race, and there is to-day in Indian Territory, for example, an Indian no tainted with a full-blooded Indian." This state of affairs exists in the Southwest it is only a question of time when it will affect the Northern States, and Afro-Americans in the State of Pennsylvania into and stop, lose their property rights. "Only a short time ago a committee was formed by the Secretary of the Interior, Mr. Browne, to investigate, reported that these Afro-American talented Indians should be given the house but the house was put before the House it was defeated upon the ground that it was new eight years old. The governor gave to the Afro-American his rights was promptly crucified. All I ask of you, gentlemen, is to inquire into this matter. And you put your city before the President." When asked by one of the ministers what good could come of that course, Mr. Ishakian replied: "We are American voters in the State of Massachusetts and thousands in other states, and with this weapon in their hands they should be able to take control of another minister soldier." We already have one code in Washington—our soldiers—and with this in view it is it we for us to take control of the matter at this time? The Afro-American of this city feel that they have a man in the Presidential class so arbitrary, so unnatural, so unnatural that the task looks like a hopeless one." It was sharply decided to place the matter of the Committee on Political Direction, The next time that Willson D. Park, an company street, hands out two genuine $50 exchange for a $200 Confederate note, he will vote himself a fit subject for Norrisha before Magtrate Eisenbrown, at the Central Station, that he just longed for one of his prized possessions that divided to Samuel Mitchell, of No. 1,256 Fine street, and Robert Struthi, of No. 1,256 Fine street, and Cecil cens, they told him that was easy, and the exchange was soon made. Park's eye fairly belied when he saw the crap new census required, and the required treasure was absolutely worthless he threw a fit and had the "film-film" required treasure were each held in $200 ball for court.

Appointment Made on Recommendation of Collector Charles W. Anderson— Appointed has Served Fourteen Years in the Postal Service and has Good Record—Member of Colored Republican Club—Has Charge of Eliminator Sub-Station in the Country, With Force of 165 Men. All records were broken in the postal service of New, York City last week by the appointment of an Afro-American as assistant superintendent of a postal站 station in the person of Alexander G. King. Mr. King has a record of fourteen years' service, and his promotion was based on merit. His case was laid before President Roosevelt by the Hon. Charles W. Anderson, who presented his claims for promotion. The President having called the attention of Postmaster Wilcox to the matter, that official cordially agreed to the appointment, which was made at once. The Wall Street station is rated as covering the richest district in the country, including the large banks and financial compsun. Mr. King is a member of the executive committee of the Colored Republican Club of the City of New York. This was a peculiarly opportune time for the breaking down of the deadline which has hitherto prevailed against the promotion of Afro-Americans from the ranks in the postal service in New York City, as the postal appropriation bill for the current year will carry increased salaries for superintendents and assistant superintendents. Mr. King entered upon his duties as assistant superintendent on Saturday, which gives him charge of about 105 employees of the branch post-office. Weybosset Lodge Recruitment.

SOME FAMILIAR FARM TALK BY OUR OWN FARMER "These Educational Followers" Are the Those to Help Only An Educational Instructor In the light of that which has just happened in the educational world; namely, the magnificent gift of Mr. John D. Rockefeller to education, the writer jumps two articles in this series in order to bring this all-important subject to the minds of his farmer readers and discuss the importance of teaching them and their business. He also records this suggestion before he drops this most maniacous gift: That this great Education Board, to which the gift was presented, send out its field agents and let them locate the most remote and the most coveted in the black belts of the various colleges; and many; then select each year from the graduating classes of Hampton, Tuskegee and similar schools, men and women who have been trained for the purpose and who are willing to sacrifice themselves for their people, send them into the schools being sent to the school into small districts, and let them instigate the children in fundamentals of living and the rudiments of education, no effort being made to establish great schools in these places, the object being simply to establish feeders for the parent schools. Living being been sent to the parent school from the教室 of the school, united there, the student would be sent to his district in turn to take up the work. the salary of the teachers being paid by the board until such time as the district is able to support itself. The writer predicts that under such a plan the illiteracy in the race would be reduced 78 per cent. 60 per cent. present time, within 10 years, perhaps a little less. Another man having purchased a farm was asked where he had acquired his knowledge of farming. "Oh, I was born on a farm." Now, there is the rock on which large numbers of farmers' crafts were built on a farm. It is possible for a man to have been born on a farm and still not know a great deal about it. This farmer in question has been a butcher since he was a boy. He wants to sell his farm. Why? Not fitted for the job; he is a butcher. The average farmer hangs up his hat and coat and takes his seat behind the stove at the end of harvest, when work is "done," and there he sits until spring breaks in on him and arouses him from his pipe-dream. Why? Is this? Simply because he has a farm. There is hardly any day in the year that the farmer can't find something to do of benefit to himself or his place. Now, then, there are some fifty schools in the United States where farming is taught, and the writer has personal knowledge of the fact that some of them are offering all kinds of inducements to farmers' sons, even going so far as to offer assistance until after graduation. The tuition is free. Still they are not taught by the farmer. Why? Because the fathers are mostly like the farmer in the first example in this article who said the boy knew enough to spread manure. We may as well acknowledge that a few of these orthodox farmers have made a little money, but suppose these same farmers and been trained in some school to work in the field, that they might have done better? Still there is a question in the writer's mind about some of these same orthodox farmers. Let's see. Once a year the "agriculture fellows" come and hold meetings in the district to show the farmers how to work in the field, a nice place and is out of debt in usually found in these meetings, absorbing all that's coming his way; but the other fellow, with the tumble-down farm and a mountains of debts, "Ach," says he, the fellows are just telling a pack of little boys that he is going to that fix it." He steps in a saloon and gets full of agriculture, corn and rye. So after all one has to concede that where there is a progressive farm the owner is trying to keep up by visiting the farm meetings and reading the agrarian reports. But never would he however, can never hope to compete with the scientific farmer. The farmer boy and the girl, too, want to leave for town just as soon as he, or she, is able to work for him or herself. This is the main cause of the farm help problem. Why should he be so? Simplify the problem. Will his children to take their proper place on the farm and perhaps succeed him in the business. Farmers, educate your children. Let the education you give tend towards the farm, not away from it. Therefore, educate them in agriculture schools. Give them a chance to the place. Make a kind of partner of them, not slaves. Create in them a love for the stock, farm machinery, nature's products and all that appertains to the farm. If these things are done, it is the earnest conviction of the writer that their false life will be arrested, if not wholly checked. As long as the repressive methods now in vogue are used, farmers can look for scarcity of labor. Just about the time a boy gets big enough to help about the place, he lights out for the city. Education in the right direction will remedy this evil and incidentally make better men and better farms. "A FARMER." Hogins, Pa., February 18. NO EVIDENCE TO IMPLICATE THIS DISCHARGED SOLDIER. But the testimony tended to show That They Had Nothing to Do With the Raid and That the Shooting Went Down by the Townpeople, Nonmilitiam Grown Up, and Unspoiled of Having the Troupe Withdrawn. WASHINGTON, February 18—The Brownville raid has been under investigation by the Senate Committee on Military Affairs for two weeks and the mystery as to the identity of the men who were killed before the inquiry began. As far as certainting the names of the guilty persons, whether soldiers or civilians, is concerned the investigators have been able to come up with some or Inspector-general Garlington. Twenty-two witnesses have been heard, and every line of testimony thus far adduced has tended to show that the surrender had been had absolutely nothing to do with the town, and that an injustice was done them by discharging them without honor. It should be borne in mind, however, that none but the discharged soldiers themselves have been acquitted and naturally have sought to prove themselves and their comrades innocent. Practically every non-commissioned officer of the dismissed battalion and several privates have been heard, and all have been accused of being the victims of the night of the real. Each one has strenuously denied being implicated in the shooting and has disclaimed any knowledge concerning the identity of the guilty men. At the same time a police officer has been asked to show indirectly that citizens of Brownville, Mexicans and cowboys, shot up the town because of prejudice against the colored soldiers and for the purpose of having them withdrawn and white soldiers killed. In a course, there has been no direct testimony offered to show that the people of the town did the shooting, but this has been the expressed opinion or inference of those who have testified. Besides, there has been no circumstantial evidence tending to cast this reflection upon the townpeople. Senator Foraker has studied the case carefully from the standpoint of the soldiers. He has conferred with them and known in advance just about what each witness was to say. If their statements were correct, the officers of the men of the battalion were properly accounted for when the call to arms was sounded on the night of the raid; that the guns were all in their racks and accounted for; that on the morning inspection, the guns were not being inspection showing that they had not been fired, and that no ammunition was missing; that it is impossible to clean a gun after it had been fired under twenty-five or thirty minutes so that it would pass inspection, and that a gun could be fired without the presence of this has tended to show that the soldiers were not implicated in the raid. Furthermore, it has been testified that when the colored troopers arrived at Brownville to take station they found a large number of empty cartridge shells scattered about the barracks, that Maxi and boys and boys over the garrison picked up these cartridge shells and clips, as well as cast-off uniforms which the soldiers had thrown away; that the soldiers had at Brownville only reduced range ammunition; that the police and many people of the town wore khaki similar color to that of the soldiers; that mixed, and, judging from the sound came from Winchester, revolvers and six-shooters; that it was directed toward the fort; that bullets were heard whishing in the direction of the barracks, and, lastly, that there was great prejudice among the people of the town, particul- The principal feature brought out to the detriment of the soldiers is that the attempt to place the responsibility for the shooting up of the town upon the citizens came as a suggestion from represen- tationists. The soldiers was a sort of afterthought as far as the soldiers were concerned, for their statements in this respect were not made to Gen. Garlington or Major Blockson, and they only remembered these things after Stewart Gilchrist had had a conference with them to sign a statement. This much was brought out by cross-examination of several witnesses by Senator Foster. A line of inquiry which has been once or twice suggested by Senator Overman, but which has not been pursued, is that teen men who were on guard the night of the raid. These men all had their guns, and, according to the testimony, not more than four, with a non-commissioned officer on hand, any one time. Their posts were only about 250 yards from the scene of the shooting, and the question has been suggested: Why could not the shooting have been done by these men, who could easily have been killed? The garrison was aroused? Also they had plenty of time to clean their guns before they were obliged to turn them in the next morning. The garrison was made to this that the firing was, in progress while the call to arms was being sounded and even while the men were forming in line. It had ceased when the roll was being called. Furthermore, it is asserted, all of these teen men who were on guard a gunminton when they were inspected. Abreast of the Times. To the Editor of the New York Age on behalf of our readers in the issue of January 3rd, entitled "Abreast of the Times." It is the most graphic literature in the history of our present advancement of the Negro, from his inferiority of the Antebellum days. The Illustration is full of optimism. It is a celebration of the past, and it brings vividly to my mind a contrast; mediocrity of the past, increasing prodigality of the present. I picture the outward march of a race from servitude and dependence to freedom, independence and prosperity. The Illustration is in our hands in our nation as a "Child Race." I thank you and I congratulate the artist. Yours respectfully, M. D. New York, NY, January 4. Bishop Walters in Bath.
