GOV. POLK AND MISSOURI SOLOS ENTERTAINED BY INSTITUTE STUDENTS. Registration of Afro-American Big Wigs Vale Himmerson Put Afro-American School—Gretchen Filled and Tirrilled the Institute—Mrs. Teteo Thinks It is the Greatest River and President in Still Smiling Over the Several Happy Events. JEREMYSON CURY, Ms., February 18. One of the happiest occasions in the annals of Lincoln Institute, was that of WEDNESDAY, February 18, when a large body of Himmerson's representative men of color, each man holding a worthy place in his chosen calling or profession, visited Lincoln Institute, licensed to rectu- tions and inspected all of the depart- ents and plan, personally by one of nature's noblemen, Bishop Abram Grant, included Professors Grisham, Garnett and Harris; Reverends Steerna, Cook, Peck, Gilbert and Stewart; Lawyers Houston and Phillips; Doctors Unthank and Shan- son, Statemen or Policliens Crews, Statemen or Policliens Burn, Washington, Bass and Beach. The body occupied seats upon the platform in the auditorium during devotional exercises, and at the close President Allen, in his usual gracious manner, with interesting and humorous resemblance, president pro tempore of the institution. The Bishop in well chosen sentences introduced the speakers for the various callings represented upon the platform. Among these speakers we note Professor Graham, C. in John G. Rever, St. Thomas, Cook and Peck, Reverers Houston and Phillips; Crews and Vashon. Each speaker was an inspiration, and indicated in no uncertain sound the friendliness and good-will entertained by them personally and for the institution generally; each speech was replete with advice to the student body, and with facts, figures and telling points that cannot be otherwise than helpful new and in the years to come. At the close orchestra created the distinguished visitors to an impromptu acreade. On the following day Dr. Crossland of St. Joseph and Hoe. I. B.-Blackburn of Kannan City, Kannan, were the honored guests. Both of these gentlemen are perished in the service of the orchestra, excellent and timely addressed like the speakers of the previous day, showed themselves to be loyal friends of President Allen and of the administrative policy by which he has made Lincoln Institute, with its more than 500 students, the leading Negro schools in the country. Another great event of the wreck was the concert given by students of Lincoln Institute in the hall of the House of Representatives for the entertainment of Governor Falk, the State officers and the members of the General Assembly of Missouri on the evening of February 16. In every sense of the term the concert was a signal success; and on the following day a vote of thanks was tumultuous. The concert was attended by the legislative body assembled Among those who delivered orations and received all-merit rounds of applause were the following with subject: Chester Kimbrough, "Causes of American Civil War," Home-making Arts"; Victor Collins, "The Unemployed"; Carrie Sykes, "The Normal School and Its Relation to the Training of the Negro"; Josephine S. Yates, "The Selections and Preparation for the Junior School Development"; Russell Johnson, "The Tollers"; Mayselle Williams, "The Poetry of the Bible"; Ruth Cooper, "Cleanlines Next to Godlines." The vocal solos by Miss Zerelda Goddard of the violin soloes by the Glee Club and the orchestra; the jubilee songs, choruses, and piano duets, were all thoroughly enjoyed by a critical but keenly appreciative audience. Many congratulations and requests for a concerto at an early date have been received by President Allen. JOSEPHINE SILANE-YATES. RECONSTRUCTION DAYS --- DuBois Thinks Disfranchisement Broadcast Promotion PHILADELPHIA, February 25.—Dr. W. E. B. DuBois professes of economics in Atlanta. University, delivered a lecture on Thursday evening, at the Holy Trinity Parish Toune to a large audience. During the lecture, Negro disfranchisement occurs in the South a period of race hatred will come that will lead gradually to the extinction of the Afro-American. He based his argument on the likelihood of European immigration to the South, and he said the public schools in the South for white children are excellent, while those for colored children are almost worthless. "The Negro can never compete with the children of these foreigners, he said," "unless he is given a chance to live in the South and can never hope for an improvement in the schools his children are compelled to attend unless he is given the ballot to uphold his claim for equality before the law," "The Northern people, after freezing the Negro and giving him a dry, dry disfranchisement in the Southern States is merely a cold business proposition. The men who accomplished it wanted to reduce the Negro to a condition that is practically serifdom. These white men by keeping race hatred limited to the Negro toilers, have been able to maintain all the wrongs of white child slavery." Defending the period of Reconstruction he said, "the Negro, crude, ignorant, ill-fitted to rule as he was at least, saved his race from serifdom long enough to be able to for something better than the degradation of slavery. These Negroes, when given power in the States of the Black Belt, established the public school system for the first time in the South. If they did steal money in South Carolina, second cannot be compared with the public thefts in the State of Pennsylvania. Although the City Party was defeated in the past election they are to be congratulated upon one thing and that in this: under a Republican organization school board a public school house in the Kittenhouse street, was condemned as usuf for the pupila, white children, to occupy. This building was then, under BAROMETER OF PROGRESS E.C. SHEPTON. GOV. JEIKS OF ALBANA—By God, these people are making so much progress that we have got to cut them out, socially and politically. The Federal Constitution? We don't quite a _____ for that. THE NEW ORLEANS CARRYAL THIS YEAR GREATEST EVER Nox and Comes and J. Madison Vance in Their Native Element. NEW OLREANS, La., February 14.—The great Carnival Festivities of this city have at last taken their place in the history of the city, and together many thousands of pleasure seekers of all races. On this particular occasion there were, no less than one hundred and fifty thousand visitors. Chief Whitaker clearly exemplified the fact that he had one of the best organized forms for the celebration of the crowds without any friction whatever. The city outdid itself in decorating and illuminating its throughfares. Long before the Parent King's Royal Yacht hevel in sight, at 12 m, February 11, the booming of cannon, shrieking of an army of cannon, its annuity to the ancient tradition of the highness was approaching his chosen city. Canal street was naught but a mass of serping humanity when the parent king and his gaily dressed attendants disembarked and marched to the city hall to be welcomed by the Mayor and his office. But all the pleasures of the day were buried in insignificance, when Nox came forth and gently spread her black mantle, decked with its twinkling and sparkling gems, over the city. This was the signal for grinding into play the myriads of petals of the city's fauna, drapped from the tops of nearly every tall building; from the Mississippi river to a point far beyond the Elks' Park. Fancy can picture no grander stone than that which met the gaze as on the great Comma Parade, with its gorgeously wended petals, wended it away through crowded streets of the Carnival City. At the close of the parade, while the streets were still throughed with white and colored pedestrians, pushing and crowding against each other. Lawyer J. Madison Vance, in whose company we had been luckily thrown by dame fortune, called attention to the fact that throughout the city, hundreds of thousands of color and white people on the streets, not one case of disturbance or violence of any kind had occurred between the races. This was indeed remarkable, and showed clearly that the low and mean charges so frequently brought against our people are false. It is during these Carnival periods that social life is at its zenith. The social whirl was begun this season by a group of men, which H. B. Woods is president. Then came the second annual all-star concert of the Colored V. M. C. A. Sunday, the 10th, a large crowd of Indies and gentlemen assembled in the meeting hall of the Y. M. C. A., where addresses were made by Rev. C. S. Collins, of Houma, and Prof. H. B. P. Johnson, principal of the Morrow Industrial Institute. These addresses were iniquently responsive to his E. B. color, editor of the Northwestern Adrocrete and President of the Association. The event of the season was a fancy dress and masquerade ball given by the Iriquois S. & L. Club. It was a select affair. Hon. J. Madison Vance and his management committee, Dr. Edward Vincent and his arrangement committee, and A. Dejoie and his reception committee, were the limit in making it elementary for the occasion. The Iriquois Club, as will be remembered, entertained President Roosevelt a short while during his visit a year or two ago. Their club rooms are situated on Omaha street, the principal thoroughfare, in New Orleans. A very unique feature NEW YORK, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1907. about this club's domice is, that it is situated on the second and third floors of a building in which the lower floors are occupied by a white bar room in which no Afro-American is admitted. It was invited a gay party that assembled the guests on the 12th. Among the guests were: Charles Stewart of Chicago, representative of the Associated press; Mrs. and Miss Dumas, wife and sister of Dr. Dumas, of Natchee, Miss, Miss Lizetta Mills, of Morgantown, La.; Miss Sadie Mills, of Morgantown, La.; Miss Sidle Thomas, of Lake Charles, and a number of ladies and gentlemen of New Orleans. The Louisiana Dental, Medical and Pharmaceutical Association have just JOKE ON HOKE. Nominated an Democratic Candidate for Presidential Election in 2016. WASHINGTON, February 21—Hoke Smith, Governor-elect of Georgia, was this evening placed in the field as an alternative candidate for the Presidency at the hands of the next Democratic convention. The occasion was a banquet given in honor of the former Secretary of State for the Confederacy by Benevolent associates Bartlett, Lee and Hardwick of Georgia, at which all of the Georgia delegation in Congress and a company of distinguished Georgians were present. The speech nominating Gov. Smith for the position of Governor-elect Bartlett. The nomination had a string tied to it, however, for Mr. Bartlett said that if Mr. Bryan was not a candidate it should be understood henceforth that the Empire State of the South had a candidate for the honor and that his name was Hoke. Mr. Bartlett paid a high tribute to the Governor-elect, and the suggestion that Mr. Smith be made next year's National standard bearer was received with great enthusiasm. Hereafter, in the opinion of the Georgia Hoke Smith, the governor be considered in Democratic conventions concerning the next Democratic candidate for President. COLOR LINE ON THE BORDER. One Way of Making It Skedaddle Fast A Negro climbed the brace bound stairs of the Columbia lodging house at 7 Rowery this morning and poking his head in through the wicket of the iron cage that was attached to the wall, but pushed out 20 cents and said that he wanted to be accommodated for the night. "All the rooms are full," said Reitter "All full? Going to draw the color one down here, the Bowerry, way down the Bowerry Sound? Going for a respectable man? Well, if you a full Use glove" to fill you up some more," said the colored person. Before he had shifted his hand to his right hip pucket, however, Reitter ducked his hand and the Negro fired the hulled just clipped off a lock of Reitter's hair, close to the right temple.

Amanda A NEW VIEW OF SEWARD SAID NEORO WOULD FIND LEVEL New Light Thrown on the Views of the Author of "The Irrepressible Conflict." In an interesting discussion of the letters of the late E. L. Godkin, in the current issue of *Neriodica* magazine, by Mr. Rollo Ogden the following appears: "But how, then, about the negroes? asked Godkin. At all concerned about them, answered Mr Seward. The North has nothing to do with the negroes. I have no more concern for them than I have for the Hottentots. They are Gods poor; they always have been and always will be so everywhere. They are not of our race. They will find their place. They must take their level. The laws of political economy will determine the position and the relation of the two races. Congress cannot contrainse those I am ready to leave the interests of the most intelligent white man in the guardianship of his State, and where I leave the interests of the white, I am willing to take the rights of the black. The South must take the rights of its own negroes, as the North did and does. I was born a slaveholder; my state took away my slaves, and it did right, but I had to support them and, indeed, have to support Some of them up to this time. The North must get over this notion of slavery, and they must affair with the South. Some people talk about being afraid of the South, the southern members of Congress are allowed to take their seats. But what harm can they do? THE LATE WILLIAM T. CROWDER. Rev. G. B. Howard, D.

TUXKAM, Ala., February 22—The sixth annual session of the Tuxekam Negro Conference began, here on the 20th at the Tuxekam Normal and Industrial Institute. The great Chapel of the school, where President Roscoe spoke a few months ago, was crowded with hundreds of farmers and their wives and educators from all parts of the South and from the North as well, when the session was called to order at 10 o'clock. These Negro Conferences grew out of a meeting of the Negro farmers of the Negro farmers of the Southern States together for the purpose of conferring as to their moral and material condition. From a few then, representing one state alone, the Conferences have grown so that at to-day's session all of the Southern States were represented by farmers coming even from as far west as Texan. The Tuncpecé Negro Conference has often been styled the "one day in school" for many of the students, and may it be so called, for there are many in the South, who, by putting into actual practice the lessons learned at these Conferences, are now owners of farms where formerly they were renters. The Southern newspapers constantly comment on the new farming practices, and rarely gives up tenant farming. Many communities have good school terms—some of them five to seven months in length—where formerly the school term lasted only two or three months in the year. The "travelling" school teacher and a teacher in the farm with a teacher in the community to make it his or her home with the purpose of helping the people in their home life, as well as the children in their books. Many communities also have got rid of the immoral minister and are insisting that the Christian, an upright, practical man, who shall labor faithfully for the moral, spiritual and material uplift of the people. These things and more in hundreds of communities, have been accomplished through these annual Conference sessions, and are published something, who owns land, is made to feel perfectly free to discuss the subjects brought before the Conference in the fullest and frankest manner. The interest manifested by them at these Conferences in amazing. They travel to different places to help and guidance, and jodging from the results of the past sessions, they leave encouraged and anxious to put into practice what they learn. Principal Booker T. Washington of the Tuskegee Institute, who has presided at all of these sessions, in his opening address this morning, congratulated he farmer on his efforts in putting into practice the teachings of the Conference. "When a race owner land and has a bank account," he said, "these possessions indicate that that race has learned to make sacrifices, has learned to look ahead and plan for the future, but it importance urging that they make even more sacrifices in the future than they have in the past, to educate their children. Continuing, he said: "Any black man who is worth his salt can build a decent home—can raise a respectable family—can earn a living. That child can educate his children—can have freedom of religious worship—can secure and maintain the rope and confidence of his neighbors, of both races. But we must not be satisfied with what we have achieved in the past, continue to go forward. Our progress continues to be more satisfactory than herefore. "In the first place we must decide where we are to live; then we must decide as to whether we will take advantage of every opportunity that is open to us. It is important to have our money of our own resources to have their money and ease scattering it to the winds as they have done in so many cases, buying whisky, cheap jewelry and other gewaes. We must not stop at that. We must learn more and more to invest our money in property, deposit it in a bank, something always laid by, for a rainy day. "More and more as a race of people, we must learn to draw the line between the moral and the immoral; between the good and bad; and we must learn to bring our own people high, and ourselves under that we feel ourselves ashamed to associate with idlers and criminals. We must use our influence wherever possible to hang about the street corners and denat about the street corners and denat of misery in our large cities." In reference to rural conditions in the South, he said: "While we must not fail to take conditions in the face, whether favorable or not, we must not permit the bad to overshadow the encouraging and the helpful." While we hear much of racial disturbances which unfortunately occur in many portions of the South and elsewhere, we are not as likely to hear so much of those communities where there is no civil disturbance. We did not look back the fact that while there is racial disturbance in one community that in ninety-nine others no such conditions prevail: "We are making progress as a race, tremendous progress—educationally, morally, spiritually and materially." The Negro since he became free has accepted ownership of land equal to combined territory of Holland and Belgium. "As we grow materially, let us seek with all our might to turn material possessions into the highest moral, mental and religious usefulness. We must seize the occasion and after many of the farmers had "testified" as to the progress made by the Negroes of their several communities during the past year, the following declarations were adopted: We reaffirm our conviction that the future of the Negro people is in the South. We therefore again urge our people to make use before it is too late, of the opportunity that now exists to buy land. We would urge them to build homes and permanently establish them in the fertile lands of the soil, by the individual with tills it, in the first step in the working out of our future. In the forty years since slavery, Negro farmers according to the last Federal common, have come into possession of nearly as much land in the European states, Holland and Belgium. This proof of our ability to buy land and hold it should encourage us to do better in the future. 2. We must do more in the future than we have done in the past in the way diversifying our crops and improving the quality of the soil. The raising of chickens, beans and cattle not only for the feed they supply but because they to help make the soil on which they are kept healthy and productive, should receive more attention. 3. We feel compelled to emphasize upon our people the duty of practicing agriculture in the future than in the past. We must make sure that we start bank accounts and eventually put these savings into land, buildings, stock, machinery and other things that contribute to make our homes more desirable to live in. We are chosen to know that membership of our already, and mostly within the past few years, established more than thirty banks in the Southern States, and that the amount deposited in these banks and building and loan associations owned and controlled by the public school funds and that the schools of our people amount to more than half a million dollars. 4. We refuse to observe that the Southern States are taking a new and greater interest in education. We regret, however, that in many instances the colored schools are not getting their fair share of public school funds and that the schools of our people are not receiving less support from the state now, when the state appropriations for education has been increased, than they did when the amount of those appropriations was less. We note with satisfaction, that we have to help our people in different parts of the country, by putting to voluntary contribution, giving from their small earnings something to increase and improve the school buildings and supplement the salaries paid by the state to our school teachers, so that we have to work in many places, been extended to seven, eight and often nine months in the year. 5. While the past year because of clashes between the races, has been one of anxiety to many of us we are cheered and comforted by the evidences that frequently see around us that we are friendly to others and are operating with the leaders among our people are determined more in the future than in the past to prevent such hurdles. In order to co-operate with the forces of law and order in our several communities, we urge upon our leaders and teachers that they earnestly seek in our community the number of officers and vagrants of our race especially in the cities. 6. Finally, let us be assured once more that there is no greater security for our present defense or success than the patient and persistent effort on our part, to do right and act justly toward every man white or black, as God helps us see it. The second day's session was called to order at 10 o'clock on the morning of the 21st. in the assembly room of the Frederick Douglas Memorial Hall. This Conference is composed mainly of the students of the North and all over the South and other interested in the moral, educational and civic uplift of the colored people. At the Conference-yearday these educators were given a splendid opportunity to study the needs of the Negro farming sections. To-day's session was devoted to a discussion of the people? 1. To what extent has idleness, vignancy and immorality prevailed among the people? 2. What relation does education bear to the amelioration of these conditions? 3. What, specifically, causes these conditions and what can be done to correct them. Among some of the prominent persons participating in the discussion are the following: Dr. S. G. Atkins, Secretary of the Educational Work, of the A. M. E. Zion church, Winston-Salem, N. C.; Mr. C. W. Allen, Editor of The Weekly Press, Mobile, Ala.; Mr. Lyman B. Weeks, Utica, New York; Prof. J.

From the New York Evening Post. TUSKEGEE, Ala., February 21.—Yesterday Tuskegee held its Farmers' Conference to do what it calls its Workers' Conference, and came together this morning for the most part were educators many of them men and women from prominent colored schools of the South. Dr. Frissell principal of Hampton Institute, was present. Dr. Thirkiel, president of Howard Uptown Institute, the Johnson of Stillman Institute; Mr. Dillickson of Calhoun Colored School, Dean Metcalf of Tallidega, Mr. Richard R. Wright of the State Industrial Institute, Savannah; and representatives from Atlanta University, Clark, Fisk, Gammon, Spillman Seminary, the Normal College at Holly Springs, Collegia, Payne College, Holly Springs, Collegia, Solma, and other schools of the South. The subject before the conference was "Vagrancy: Its Cause and Its Prevention." The meeting lasted five hours, and as none of the very many speakers were prepared, the discussion covered a wide range of the issues given to a consideration of the office that Negro's character. Principals and representatives of colored schools rose one after another to testify that none of their graduates had been convicted of crime. Fisk could say this of its 277 college graduates, Payne College of its 265 college and Normal College of Lynchburg, and so on. Our attention drawn to Atlanta that it was especially interesting to see that this record hold true there; that there were no criminals among the graduates from the many colored colleges that circle this Southern city. A wish was expressed to Dr. Hilligham of Calhoun, that these colleges more completely furnished by the colleges and published in statistical form. The discussion upon the Nerro and crime indicated clearly that when education had been continuous, not a few students had been disciplined it had been productive of effective Mr. Yates of Gammon said: "We are not naturally fond of work, though we like activity. We have to be trained from early youth to the habits. A St The Alabama Legislature came up for discussion, the speaker, a Negro, showed that it had been framed in such a way as to prevent its enforcement in colored schools. The Legislature was less forgiving than it had been in former years to Negro education. Dr. Washington dismissed the subject by saying, that wherever you could get a schoolhouse and a teacher, colored children came in greater numbers than the building would accommodate. From the school the discussion on the prevention of vagrancy turned to the home. The farmer was criticised for his lack of kindly consideration of the needs of his children. The boys and girls on the farm were worked too hard, afforded too little opportunity, and, finding this frightome, they ran away. "Some of those very farmers who spoke here yesterday," one of the teachers said, "will lose their sons and daughters and will lose their sons and daughters do their live stock. I met a farmer the other day, a prosperous man in his community, who said to me: 'I don't have no use for socks, and my son isn't neither.' But that son will grow ashamed of his home and its uncootness, and will leave to labor on the public works." There is a great demand for laborers in the South, and boys run away from their homes to go to the turpentine fields, the sawmills, and the railroads. When their job is done, they turn to the city and are forced to work in the town and convicted, their education in crime begins. "The convict camps," said Dr. Thirlkeil, "raise revenue for the State, but too often they manufacture criminals to be turned later upon the community." Away from all home influences, housed in the city, they decent on their entrance become viles in thought and even at times grow to have a fondness for the life of the camp. "A little wilde ago," Dr. Washington said, "we heard of a boy who broke into the penitentiary at night to get back to his former comrades. It must be admitted that the State is from the convicts is gain rather than reformation." A discussion of convict camps brought the conference to the consideration of juvenile courts and reformatories. Women probation officers from Louisville and Indianapolis told of their work, and of the women they were taking in the juvenile delinquent. Some of the most cultivated colored women of these cities were acting as volunteer probation officers. "I myself" said the Indian visitor, Mrs. Porter, "have at the present time three girls and one boy under my charge. They have to be treated to their best if they prove beyond control, in their homes, the State has good reformatories. Miss Bowen of Mt. Meigs, a representative of the Southern Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, told of the reformatory for colored children that the federation is endeavoring to establish in Alabama. Land has already been secured and $500 raised toward the erection of a building. With a thousand dollars more, work on the place could begin. Judge Jagan of Birmingham, who treated the prison with respect, is deeply interested in this reformatory project, and is anxious to have such a place to send colored boys who come up before him. The governor of Alabama promises that, when the institution has proved a success, the State will help it. The economic side of vagrancy was touched upon, and the value of the industrial school was brought out. The young man with a good trade was less likely to get into trouble through idleness than the laborer without skill who moved from place to place. The meeting closed with the adoption of the declaration: The members of this conference express their sense of the gravity of the situation brought about in recent years by the existence of a class of idlers and vagrants, particularly in the cities of the South. In view of these conditions, the members of this conference urge: (1.) That our leaders, ministers, and teachers take steps to impress upon the masses of the people the seriousness of the situation, and to organize public opinion in their various communities in a way that will prevent the enforcement of the law against vagrancy, gambling, and intemperance. (3.) That as the class of vagrants seems to be largely recruited from young men and women who leave the country to go to the city, new efforts should be made to recruit people in the country districts, particularly in relation to their schools and in their opportunities to buy land and settle permanently on the soil, so that the children of the Negro farmer will desire to remain at home and take up the work of their fathers and mothers upon the farmer. (4.) That measures be taken to improve the methods of dealing with prisoners, particularly those who are children, to the end that they may be reformed rather than punished, and since the customary punishment of confinement in prisons and convict camps, in close association with hardened criminals, encourage in their disposition to continue their life of crime. The weather during the two conferences has been cold, but clear and pleasant and the grounds have been filled with visitors, chiefly men and women from neighboring farms. It is noticeable that apopting them here no sign of drunkenness. Dr. Washington is known to have never known a case of intoxication at one of those gatherings. The Negroes of Macon County where Tuskegee is situated, seem to be temperate, and their interest in education is evidenced by their raising by voluntary taxation $3,000 for school purposes. Hardly a school in the area is open to students. The influence of the Institute is, thus seen to extend over a considerable area, and to help in the upbuilding of what Alabama so surely needs—good rural schools. M. W. O. A Ten Million Dollar Judgment. That a negro plaintiff has actually won a ten million dollar verdict seems altogether too good to be creditable. That such a victory has been scored by a young negro lawyer and from the South at that, and of history, a veritable paltry dictum. Foraker Hailed as Champion. From The Caddis (Ky.) Informer.

Cotton and its products are most notably $500,000,000 into the United States from foreign countries in the year just ended. The value of cotton, raw and manufactured, and its products in various forms exported during the year aggregated $485,000,000 and thus formed more than one-fourth of the total exports of the country in the year of its greatest export record. Figures just complied by the Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Commerce and Labor show that the total of raw cotton exported in the calendar year 1904 was $43,000,000, this being the first calendar year in which the export figures of raw cotton touched or crossed the $400,000,000 line. Manufactures of cotton aggregated practically $43,000,000, or more than in any earlier year, except 1905, when they amounted to about $36,500,000. Cotton seed oil exported added another $14,000,000 to the total, and cotton-seed oil cake added to this is $250,000 worth of cotton while presumably a large proportion of the nearly $5,000,000 worth of lard compounds and substitutes exported under the name of cottolene, lard, etc., was composed largely of cotton-seed oil, thus bringing the aggregate exportation of the product of the cotton fields of the United States up to about $400,000,000, or 28 per cent. of the $1,773,000,000 worth of products exported in the year. In addition to this large manufacture sent to Porto Rico, Hawaii and Alaska, and not included in the figures of exports to foreign countries, was over $4,500,000. Europe sent the bulk of this $490,000,000 received as the purchase price of the year's exportation of cotton and its products. Of that $413,000,000 worth of raw cotton exported, $173,000,000 worth went to the United Kingdom, $100,000,000 went to Germany, $45,000,000 went to France, $31,500,000 to Italy, $7,500,000 to Belgium and $5,000,000 direct to Russia, and $1,000,000 to the Netherlands; while to Japan the exports for the year were valued at over $11,000,000 and to Canada $7,333,000. Even this large figure of $17,000,000 worth of cotton sent to the United Kingdom falls slightly below that of 1905, when the total value of raw cotton exported to Germany was nearly $15,000,000, but the increased movements to Germany more than offset the reduction in those to the United Kingdom, the exports of cotton to Germany in 1906 being $19,000,000 in excess of those of 1905, and $15,000,000 in excess of those of 1904. The actual quantity of cotton from the United States reaches Russia during that period, but it is greater than that indicated by the fast direct exports to that country since much of the cotton from the United States which enters Russia is sold originally to the markets of the United Kingdom and France since resold and transmitted to Russia. Japan and Canada were the only countries outside of Europe taking any considerable quantity of cotton from the United States in 1906, the value of cotton sent to Japan in that year being, as above indicated, over $11,000,000, and to Canada $7,333,000. The figures show a slight reduction in the value of cotton sent to Japan in 1906 when compared with 1905, when to Canada the value of the year were slightly in excess in value of those of the former year. In quantity, however, the records of 1906 fall below those of 1905. The total number of pounds of raw cotton exported in 1906 was 3,850,229,030, while in 1905 the total was 4,137,154,935, the increased value in 1906 being due to higher export prices, which more than offset the reduction in quantity the 3,850,000,000 pounds exported in 1906 being $2,000,000,000. Of the 4,137,000,000 pounds exported in 1905, Of the $413,000,000 worth of raw cotton sent out of the country during 1906 $392,000,000 went to Europe. Of the cotton manufactures exported, the bulk went, of course, to countries other than Europe, which, as a manufacturer of cotton goods, buys little of the producer of our cotton mills. The value of cotton cloths exported during the year was $22,500,000, of which a little over $50,000,000, of which a little over $10,750,000 to China, $5,000,000 to Europe, $1,750,000 to India, $2,500,000 to Japan, India, Hong Kong and the Philippine Islands; while about $30,000,000 worth went to the West India Islands, exclusive of Porto Rico; $1,500,000 to Central America, and more than $50,000 worth to Canada. Of miscellaneous manufactures of cotton, the total value of the exports was $10,500,000, of which over $2,000,000 worth went to Germany, $2,750,000 to Canada, and about $50,000 each to Mexico, Cuba and the Philippine Islands. Of the class of cotton products considered a few years ago as more by-products, such as cottonseed oil, cottonseed oil cake and meal ote, a large proportion of the exports goes also to Europe. Of the $14,000,000 worth of cottonseed oil exported in 1906, $4,200,000 went to the Netherlands, $2,750,000 to France, $1,000,000 to the United Kingdom, $500,000 to Austria Hungary, $500,000 to Italy, countries of Europe; while $750,000 worth of cottonseed oil went to Mexico and $500,000 worth to the West India Islands. Of the $14,000,000 worth of cottonseed oil cake and oil cake exported during that year, practically all went to Europe, where it is used in part as food for live stock and in part for fertilizers. The dollar which young people squander on foliage and on things that they could get along without, in their youth and young manhood, if placed in a bank, and left there, or withdrawn and invested in safe interest-paying securities, would be more than ample to support them in leisure in their old age. And the wise young person should begin to provide for his old age with the first dollar that he earns. And how very few do it, or ever think at all of old age?

WASHINGTON, February 23—At the end of more than three world of investigation into the facts of the Brownville affray by the Committee on Military Affairs, the Army sent a letter to the peer who "shot up" that town August 13-14 host. On the contrary, if anything, the mystery deepens. As the circumstances, when described and tertified to the guilt of the attack, are established, to point to the guilt of its members, so do the circumstances when described and tertified to by members of that troop seem to point to the guilt of some of the inhabitants of the town. The Army also "shot up" at the time alleged there is no doubt. This fact is admitted by both sides to the controversy. But as to who did the "shooting up" is where the parties differ and they differ the one side from the other, far as the cast is from the west, as far as truth is separated from falsehood. The citizens of the town say the colored soldiers did the dead. And the circumstances they marshall in support of this declaration are, first, that the soldiers have a motive for the crime, the motive of revenge, which originated in curtail ill-treatment which the soldiers have lived in. The soldiers are at the hands of white citizens of the town. This ill-treatment included discrimination against them in the drinking moats of the town together with other things, such as public insults and personal assaults. All of which bad treatment the soldiers believed they received solely was the motive which white Brownville and after them Major Blockoom, and after Major Blockoom General Garlington, and after General Garlington President Roosevelt, assert furnish the all-familiar basis for the crime, in which all of them believe or affect to believe that they were not directly mixed up, some as principals and the others as accessories before and after the fact. The white people of Brownville, Major Blockham, General Garlington and President Roosevelt assert that the firing came from the fort, therefore the people did the firing when they were colored. They did the people, who did the firing wore khaki uniforms therefore they were colored soldiers. They say that U.S. cartridge shells and caps were found the morning after the affray in the streets of the town, and that therefore the colored soldiers were sent away, furthermore, that the firing was from Springfield rifles, therefore, they conclude, that colored soldiers must have done the shooting. This is the motive and these are the circumstances which are produced convict the colored of the motive and the circumstances which the President claim justify his Draconian order of discharge. But ex parte testimony is always partial and therefore dangerous—especially where conviction and punishment follow upon it. It is always safe to bear both conviction and punishment, and to obey civilisation as to which side is right, upon which side lies the truth. This was the President's mistake. He heard but one side. He founded his action on ex parte punishment, and in his autocratic and impulsive way he rushed to a hasty conclusion and fancied; as he always does banc under such circumstances, that his great manliness and ability have been known. He knew the colored soldiers "shot up" the town of Brownville. He needed no more facts, no more circumstances to satisfy him beyond a permeation on this point. Then, what was the use of waiting his valuable time in waisting the valuable time of the War Department, seeking for more light on his situation, and seeking to confirm all of the light, the all evidence required by him? What, indeed, was the use of hearing the soldiers in their own belief? For if they confessed that they did the deed, this is what the President knew well enough himself, and therefore needed to their confession to confirm this fact, and to deny their guilt and all knowledge relating to the "shooting up" of the town, why, he would thereupon, add to his knowledge other knowledge of the men, viz; the additional knowledge that they lied and to their original crime, and that they conspired in the conspiracy of silence. And so he issued his merciless order discharging the 167 soldiers from the army without honor and without trial, on a mere presumption of their guilt, disabling them from ever serving in the army or the navy and disbarring them from employment with the Navy. National Government not for so many months or for so many years, but forever. Fortunately for the 167 soldiers thus mercilessly punished by the President, the Senate of the United States did not agree with the autocratic occupant of the White House that the testimony of the soldiers was the more worthy leadership of Senator Foraker. it voted to hear the other side, to hear both sides, in fact, to the Brownsville controversy. And the testimony given up to date by the discharged soldiers proves that it is well, that it is very well, to hear both sides before making up one's mind as to which side really "shot out" down of Brownsville on August 13-14 last The soldiers say that they did not "aboot up" the town. They take issue with the assertion that the firing was from the fort toward the town, but quite from the town toward the fort. They heard the bullets whistling over their heads while they were within the barracks on that, memorable night. Every soldier, relying upon his senses, believed from the town toward the fort, and conducted himself accordingly. There was in consequence great excitement and much confusion manifested by the soldiers as of men who were called suddenly in the dead of night to face a deadly attack on the town. That the police and many people of the town were klanki similar in color to that worn by the soldiers. They show also that there is nothing wonderful about the cartridge shells and clips which were found in the streets of the town. Since their arrival at the fort to take the place of the white soldiers who had been transferred to another fort they found a large number of empty, cartridge shells and clips scattered about the barracks; the soldiers at will over the post and picked up these empty shells and clips, as well as many cast-off uniforms which the soldiers left there. These soldier witnesses say further that the firing was not made from Springfield rifles but from mixed arms, Winchester, revolvers and six shooters. But the testimony of these soldier- men does not stop here. It goes at deal further. For the second a man has been forced the parrison tire. The suited for at the call true so applied were all in their bloods in the ; that on the morm- I observed and the man I I would have hid in Put there and not possibly have After being commanded to "shoot up" Addison's THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1907. the town. For as a matter of fact, in ten minutes at the stent after the call to arms, and the call to arms occurred before the firing had ceased, every gun of the post was accounted for, and the gunry immediately be cleaned after having been fired once or twice as to point inspection in less than twenty minutes, and that no gun could be properly cleaned in the dark without regard to the time of the attack, or to the material to this work. And to crown the whole, to complete the chain of circumstances which tends to clear the soldiers, the witness testify that no ammunition was missing, but, on the contrary, every weapon was present, entire battalion on the morning of August 14th, lost. But who, then, "shot up" the town if the soldiers didn't? The soldiers say that the town "shot up" itself, i.e. certain parties in the town, cowboys and Mexican. And the town of the colored soldiers and to get white soldiers in their places. What was the motive? The President and the War Department and white Brownville say the colored soldiers "shot up" the town from a motive of revenge, colored soldiers say that the town "shot itself from motives of race hatred and greed. It seems that the colored soldiers had taken their patronage from the white or the Mexican drinking saloons on account of the separate bars maintained in those palaces and colored men and had transferred the whole of this patronage, which was by no means inconsiderable in money value for a place of the size of Brownville, to a saloon kept by a colored ex-soldier. The other saloons were losing the place, apart by black men. They didn't like it. But instead of abolishing the objectionable separate bar feature, which drove the colored soldiers' from their doora, they got about it all, and presented the defense as an impudent demand on their part for "social equality," and they fell into a rage. Their saloon keepers, against the soldiers because they would not give them their good money in retrain for their bad and inequitable behavior, simply to put up with it in these Southern drinking saloons. Not at all inclined to conquer their prejudice against the soldiers on account of their race and color. white Brownville, through its saloon keepers, made up its mind and a conspiracy at the same time to disarm the two armed soldiers who were demanding equal treatment for equal pay, and to drive them from the town. With Mexicans and cowboys they started on the night of August 13-14 last to carry out this conspiracy. They dressed themselves in the same clothes as the soldiers and clipped picked up in the barracks through the streets of the town, kicked up the devil generally in the neighborhood of the fort and in the town, firing their Winchester, revolvers and six-shooters at no particular object in the town, but in a brutal disregard of human property and life. They were doubles having great sport and enacting the part assigned them in the dark plot, which was to rid the town of the colored troop and to get white soldiers in the town, but in a brutal disregard of human property and the capability of the white people of the town at one and the same time. This is about the size and color of the case of the discharged soldiers and a pretty strong case it is too—not in all probability from the viewpoint of the President but from that of the soldiers. The two sides are heard and evidence is carefully weighed. ARCHIBALD H. GRIMKE NATIVE AFRICAN SURVEYORS. They Are Being Mustered Into the service All Over British South Africa. From The New York Sun. The British Empire includes a larger part of Africa than is held by any other Power. It is natural, therefore, that the British have now under way a larger amount of surveying and mapping than the native people. It is necessary that maps be based upon fairly good surveys be provided as soon as possible. Without them it is impossible to show the areas and villages under the rule of native chiefs. The settlement of native lands sold would get into a hopeless triangle without surveys and maps. Maps are required also in the allotment of mining and forest concessions and for building cart roads and railroads. There is one great difficulty in these tasks, because surveying force which provides the map material is made up of white men, the work is likely to stop. Europeans have a tendency to get on the sick list. It is found that in some of the protectorates no native people are developed. All over British Africa they are taking some of the brightest natives and turning them into surveyors. This work is by no means satisfactory as yet. The teachers are field surveyors, the students are field surveyors, teaching. They have no patience with their pupils, declare that the thing is hopeless, and there is no uniformity in the methods of surveying which they teach. The British Government is now planning to establish a training school in which carefully selected native candidates shall be trained on a uniform system. It is proposed, at present, to have all the work of instruction centred in one school. The successful students will be trained in service anywhere in British tropical Africa. Meanwhile the training of natives and their employment in surveying is going on in practically all the protectorates. Much better results are obtained in some of the Gold Coast is turning out the best native surveyors. Occasionally a black student develops exceptional talent in this line. E. G. Ferguson, a Gold Coast native, who has resurgently died, was found possessing high qualification and experience, conditions he carried out extensive explorations and surveys of a high order of excellence in the country back of the Gold Coast and special attention was called to his work in No. 500 of the *Colonial Reports*. A better provinces of the Sudan the actual work of surveying is now done by Egyptian or Sudanese boys, most of them trained at Gordon College. Khartum. They are working under European supervision, and the river along with the banks and the being accurately surveyed and mapped. Mr. Wallis, Acting Commissioner in British Central Africa (the region of Lake Nyassan), tells another kind of story. He says the natives there make accurate chamein and are able to traverse plans but thus far they have not yet been able to grapple the principles of surveying. It is in this very region that the natives built, under the training of Mr. Scott of Blantyre, the finest brick building that has been erected in tropical Africa. Perhaps, if the right man gets hold of these natives, he will be able to make good surveys of some of them. He will be able to do well not just at their brothel in Lagos. The Commissioner of Lands reports from that region that the results obtained from training native surveyors are quite as good as might have been expected if these young men had been fairly educated Europeans. They are, performing the duties that latitude and obtain true bearings. "Their operations have been checked and the average error was less than fifteen seconds of arc." Boston, February 22—The Afro-Americans of Boston have not as yet recovered from the effects of the remarkable sentiments of President Charles W. Elliot of Harvard University and Bishop James A. McGee of the University at the Twentieth Century Club, February 13, at a meeting in the interest of the work of Beren College, an institution founded for the purpose of co-education of the race, which a law of Kentucky was enacted in 1876. It was acceptance of the necessity for this vile law by President Elliot and Bishop Lawrence as being wise and good, and which, under certain conditions would possibly be adopted by Harvard, and among the Afro-Americans of Boston. No one suspected that either of these great and infidential men harbored any such harborous views on the race question as they expressed, and your corrections to much misunderstanding. New land sentiment was not and is not still shocked. Bishop Lawrence's pronouncement that black men must have white leadership, a view of the matter expressed long ago by President Roosevelt in his story of "The Hough Riders" a sentiment which every Afro-American of sense and self-affirmation insolent, but which ranks in the flesh like the cut of a ransom. It does not matter at all that Bishop Lawrence had in mind conditions in the mountains of Kentucky; the principle is the same all over, and Afro-Americans everywhere will resent and repudiate it. The addresses, in part, of President Eliot, Bishop Lawrence and Mrs. Julia Ward Howe are as follows: President Eliot said in part: "There is no question of the character of the people in the mountain regions of the South. They are sturdy, vigorous loyal and high-minded, although subject to more than a century of the most extraordinary situation. They are people in the duty, and should be the aim, of all good and patriotic people. The other side of the question is more difficult. Berea College is surrounded with the problem of race hatred and prejudice. Erie School is not distressed by the fact that he obliges to maintain separate schools. If the numbers of whites and blacks were more nearly equal we might feel like segregating the one from the other in our schools. In general, a work can be done for the Negro in this way as in mixed schools. So the separation of the two races in the Berea schools is not really an abandonment of principle, although it may be a departure from the original purpose. "Perhaps if there were as many Negroes here as there we might think it better for them to be in separate schools. At present Harvard has about 3,000 white students and about thirty of them are hidden in the great mass and are not noticeable. If they were equal in numbers, or in a majority we might deem a separation necessary. "The effect of alvery is vastly worse upon the whites than on the blacks, and the whites are more likely to be the hidden the greatest difficulty is in the sexual relation of the two races. It keeps both in a state of terror and of distrust of each other. It leads to constant sin, and that sin leads to terrible injustice to the Negro. There are lesser evils in this race question. Slavery implanted in both races the idea that labor is a disgrace. The whites are overcoming this idea more readily than the blacks. The latter were driven to labor for centuries, and now they have obtained from the blacks the power to work and have disposition to work only a day or two at a time, and then take a term to idleness. You can readily see what confusion this will lead to in a manufacturing establishment. The civilizing and uplifting value of work is not recognized by the blacks and not fully by the whites, in the South. "Therefore, I say, there is only one remedy, and that is in such an education as Berea College is giving. But Berea College is in an inhospitable region and is so careless with many help of this institution and support it in a spirit of patience." Bishop Lawrence said in part: "The South is doing the best it can in education, but it is poor. It is growing rick, however, and with it we will come will recognize as a necessity there, however, so the Negro banker, lawyer or doctor can have his own people as a constituency for life work. If there is no segregation, then the white man will get his own people, and the black man will be required, there must be association with the whites and under their leadership. Therefore I congratulate Berea College that there have been forced upon it colored schools with white teachers, for thus the two races will be brought together, thus the problem will be the sooner solved." Mrs. Julia Ward Howe was enthusiastically greeted. She said: "My dear friends, I know you are such by your hearty reception, I am glad to see you here to listen to such great problems, and I am glad to see you here to be interested in her. I have been interested in Rerea for many years, for although I have never seen it, I have kept in touch with it through the many favorable reports, I was glad to hear one of the speakers say that the opposition in the South to the elevation of the Nero is not solid. Opposition to the Nero is not solid. Work and work are content ever to suffer, is nowhere solid. Those who represent it may be in the majority; passion may carry away the masses for a time; but good principles command themselves to the human heart and everywhere normal men there are people who recognize the strike and strike in good earnest you will obtain the desired result as Moses obtained the water by smiling the rock."

A bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives which prohibits the intermarriage of whites and blacks in the District of Columbia. It is not probable that this bill will get out of the committee room to which it may be assigned, but it is of the highest importance that no effort on the part of influential Afro-Americans in the District of Columbia shall be wanting to see that the bill does die in committee. This question of the right to marry and give in marriage is, at the bottom, the whole life of the citizenship of the Republic. The Afro-American who says he does not desire social equality is an unmitigated fool or an outrageous blaguard, who sacrifices what he should know to be a primal right to a subservient purpose. It is true that the marriage right is in the nature of a social privilege with which the State ordinarily has no concern, but to protect itself, it has assumed the right to say that persons shall be legally married, but not wbh shall be legally married, that being left to the personal choice of the parties concerned, except in the Southern States, where the assumption has become a shameful presumption of racial arrogance. The white people of the South, who have done more promiscuous illicit corrupting of blood than any like number of people on the face of the globe, and who are the only people in history who ever sold their children to pay their gambling debts, insist by law and word of mouth that there shall be no legal union of the races, while every man with his eyes open knows that promiscuous intercourse of the races in the Southern States is one of the most scandalous things in the history of the Republic. When it reaches the point where the Federal Government sanctions the legality of concubinage and bastardy in the District of Columbia, and, therefore, sanctions it in those States where separate marriage laws are maintained, it will be high time for thoughtful Afro-Americans to hunt for a country where such barbarity does not obtain. White School Teachers for Separate Schools. We have no just grounds for regarding former Governor William Dorsy Jelks of Alabama as being a fool or a knave, and yet we are confused as to the class he really belongs to, after reading his article in the current North American Receiver, on "The Acuteness of the Negro Question; a Suggested Remedy." We are convinced, after studying the article objectively and subjectively, that the acuteness in the Negro question is because of the existence of such people as Jelks, people who learn nothing and forget nothing, and who imagine that the rest of mankind are built in their intellectuals as they are. To begin with, Mr. Jelks lays it down as a law that there can be within any time he can foresee social equality between the races in the Southern States, with no terms of intimacy in the family; all which is a matter beyond the law, or the regulation and control of the law, abiding in the individual as inalienable, and always adjusts itself along the lines of adaptability, self-interest, mutual likes and dislikes, and what not; but always a question of personal right. Given a premises and any knave can reason along the line of least resistance. Mr. Jelks no sooner disposes of the social question, with which the law has nothing to do, than he brings forward the question of civil rights, with which the law has to do, and will do in the future more than in the past, because of the increasing heterogeneity of the Southern population, and declares that "we will not even discuss riding in the same coach, sleeping in the same hotel, eating at the same table or studying at the same school." But we are sure that the dear "we" will have not only to discuss it, but settle it according to law and equity, even as it has been settled in the State of New York, before the end of the chapter. Matter of that sort are never settled, according to Abraham Lincoln, until they are settled right. Now, having disposed of the social question, which is pure, personal in character, and of the question of civil rights, which cannot be denied or abridged without provoking a row which will keep the right of way until it is settled satisfactorily, Mr. Jelke very naturally reaches the political question, and disposes of it in the name lordly fashion, as if he were absolute boss of the whole thing, as follows: "And there can be no political equality, as a matter of fact. There is none now in most of the Southern States, and these figures which have been so are preparing to practically abolish the Negro race, or certainly instillment and less worthy per- THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1907. And John naturally reaches the conclusion that "It would be far better if the two races could be separated." "A thing impossible on the one hand because the Jehovah have no mixed the blood of the roops that it is often difficult to tell 'other from which, and on the other because the white men of the South would not stand far it and have put stringent laws on the statute books to prevent it." So, having taken from the Afro-American, by mouth, his social privileges and civil and political rights, and got the poor thing redoubled, in his hand, to the condition of a slave, the place where the Jeils gang are seeking to get him in fact and law, an Auguean job out of the question, backs the Federal Constitution can't be repealed to meet the wishes of the Jeils crowd, the next step along the line of Host resistance is to prevent the Afro-American from caring his bread out of the sweat of his brains, the desire of the Jeils gang being general that he should only earn it out of the sweat of his face, a thing which the thirteenth amendment to the Constitution made impossible, unless the foundations of the Government are to be agitated again by a rebellion of the Jeils gang. What would Jelks? Why, he finds that the Afro-American school teacher has not taught his race to love the farm, to love labor, that "Books have given us a larger proportion of vagrants, and a larger proportion of thieves as well. The non-producers are all thieves." Afro-American teachers, preachers, doctors, merchants, are all non-producers, in the same class with Jelks, whose mouth is the chief agent of such production as he produces. What a knave is Jelks! He does not even understand the common terminology governing the subjects the chatters about. After all that he has said firstly, secondly, thirdly, in regular ignorant exhortatory style, here is the lastly of the Jelks scheme to get the sort of Afro-American he has in his head: "After changing my views through the years, I am distinctly of the opinion that Southern white men must teach the Negro schools. I say 'Southern,' because my observation is that Eastern white men and women are mischief makers. They do not understand the Negro character, and they cannot understand it." Shade of O. O. Howard, Armstrong, Cravath, Ware, McCulloch, and the host of New England men and women who made thirty thousand Afro-American school teachers! We take leave of William Dorsey Jeks of Alabama, and shall not worry if we hear of him no more, by calling his attention to the following paragraph from an article in the same issue of The North American Review, on "A Plan for the Filipinos," by General W. H. Carter of the United States Army, himself a Southern, in which he says: "Dire necessity has made many men commit wrongs since crimes were first defined by law." Since the dawn of history horrible wars have occurred through the rising of a populace against supposed grievances. It behooves a nation, as a mere matter of public policy, to prevent the harboring of long-continued discontent, for the purpose of preserving loyalty if for no better reason. Loyalty to the government should not be expected of any population which, however arrogantly, believes itself deprived of equal rights with others living under the same flag. Now, if former Governor Jelks could get this sentiment through his thick head it would sober and stagger him. High Living Comes High. Many captains of industry are predicting that there are hard times ahead for the people of the United States. Perhaps. A distinguished Englishman, after studying the educational institutions of this country for some time, gave it as his opinion that extravagance in living is the greatest danger that Americans have to confront. Things which were regarded as luxuries yesterday become necessaries to-day, and the progression has no visible end. Simple living is no longer fashionable. People live up to their income and often beyond it, in the effort to get in or to "keep in the swim." Disaster is bound to overtake all such people. Foreigners recently arrived in the United States are getting rich by frugal but healthy living, which they would have regarded as luxurious in the Old Country, and the sooner the ordinary people turn again to simple living, indulgence, eating, the better will it be for them and for the future welfare of the country. Frugality is the surest road to health and wealth now as in all of the days of the past. What Does the Elliot Opinion Indicate? In another column of THE AGE to day we give the extraordinary views of President Eliot of Harvard, and Bishop Lawrence on the race question as they have revised them to date. The opinions of both men are extraordinary, when their environment and position in the life of New England are considered. When President Eliot declares that if a greater number of Afro-Americans should attend Harvard, so that they would not be lost an to their influence upon the 5,000 students, there might be a separation of the races in the great institution, what does he really mean? That an equal number of both races could not get along together at the university because of race differences of one sort and another, or that the influence of the Afro-American on the student body is bad? He must mean one of these two things, and if he means either of them, then, it is a reversal of New England opinion, as far as he reflects it, and he should by the nature of the case, reflect it in a very large measure, and it must make thoughtful Afro-Americans sit up and take note. And, then, what does it mean that Bishop Lawrence should also give adherence to the fallacy of separation of the races in schools, with the pronouncement that it is a good thing that black students should have white leadership? The views of President Hite and Bishop Lawrence coincide as to time of delivery and anecdotes with the views of former Governor Joelts of Alabama, to which we devote an editorial in Tux Amr so-day. What does it mean. In the best thought upon the race question in New England changing on the race question? If so, why so? These two men have had, we believe, small opportunity of contact and study of the Afro-American except in Boston and in their field of college and church work. What sort of contact and study of the Afro-American can have they had to fetch them to the conclusions, they have reached, and which we are bound to deplore, and especially at this time? Any way we look at it, the attitude of these two men is full of pith and moment. Lincoln and Jefferson. Some politicians hunting for popularity and voten, and some people hunting for an excuse to abuse and wrong the Afro-American people, have linked the names of Lincoln and Jefferson and invoked the spirit of what might have been of the former, quite frequently of late. It was opportune, therefore, that Secretary Shaw should have shown, in his Baltimore address on Lincoln's birthday, that there is no warrant whatever for linking the name of Lincoln with that of Jefferson. There was small similarity, indeed, in their lives or in their public conduct. Jefferson was a slave-holder. Lincoln hated slavery, and was the instrument through which the life was crushed out of it. And this measures the real distance between the two men's attitude upon the most vital question of both their times. Jefferson was really an intellectual excentric, educated in the school of the French Revolution, who was sadly out of tune with the sort of democracy he found in this country on his return from France; but he was compelled to accept things as he found them, and he made the most of them. Lincoln is in a class by himself, andagogues should leave him alone; he had nothing in common with them. Bryan thinks that the $22,000,000 given by Mr. Rockefeller to the General Education Board is tainted money, returned to the people from whom it was extorted in an indirect instead of a direct way. Some people have funny notions in their heads, and Mr. William Jennings Bryan is of this sort. If his theories of finance and economy had prevailed in the conduct of the Government during the past twenty-five years, it is a safe statement that there would not have been a man in the country worth $22,000,000, while the average wealth of the masses would have vanished to the starting point. A system of administration which can have development of vast fortunes while at the same time affording comparative plenty to the whole mass of the population, with general prosperity greater than that enjoyed by the people of any other country, is not so bad as the demagogues paint it. --- --- What is the matter with Afro-American? A hundred can be found any time ready to accept a job, at a good salary, in a business some one else has built up, when one cannot be found who has the nerve and the courage to go out and make his living on big commissions, like other people? They mostly want a sure thing. No man ever yet got rich on the average fixed wage, because after his living is deducted from it there is hardly ever any of it left. The enterprising person, who has the nerve and the courage to make business for himself, in his undertaking or that of some one else, is the person who gets the pile in the end. Some day, and it does not seem a great way off, the higher education and industrial education lions may lie down together, and then a smile ten times as thick as a railroad sandwich will spread over the countenance of the Afro-American people. --- The police, who have long considered New York City as theirs "to have and to hold," using and abusing citizens as they pleased, have been reminded recently by several trials of members of the force that they are not the whole thing. The policeman, one O'Nell, who ran amuck in Seventh avenue not long ago slashing and otherwise abusing an Afro-American named Taylor, has been tried and convicted and will get it in the neck. Another policeman who perjured himself in the hope to save O'Nell, will also get what's coming to him. So glad! After awhile the citizens who own New York can live without constantly fearing that the police will take away from them their life or limb for "the fun of the thing." Say, have you got a bank in your city? The Senate has voted that Reed Smoot of Utah is entitled to the seat in the Senate to which he was elected four years ago. During all of that time the man has been held up in the Senate and in the country an all sorts of a mist, morally and religiously, when the Senate had very little to do with that phase of the matter, under the Federal Constitution, despite the Edmunds acts. Mr. Smoot has two years more to serve in the Senate, and should have a jollier time than in the past four years. Lieutenant-Governor Chandler of New York, although a Democrat, in a Jefferson Club talk recently said: "The State New York is naturally Democratic." Sure it. But it naturally goes Republican nine of ten times. When a State naturally Democratic persists in going Republican, what is the matter with it? We might as well, and with equal right, declare that the State of Texas is naturally Republicans. It all depends upon how you feel about it. Why are so many great men born in the months of January and February? Or are most people born in those months? We have just been celebrating the natal day of Lincoln, Washington, Douglas, Longfellow and William Dean Howell, and a lot of other great people born in these months. The Right Way Things We Believe in Bold to be Just Begin—improvei Only Approach—Action in Brown- ville Matter in Fount. From The New York Times. WASHINGTON, February 17.—This session of Congress is drawing to its close, without having received any, White House boots to speak of. This is not due to any diminution of ammunition at the White House, but simply to the fact that a short session nothing of any cone- quence can be done, and it is useless to make recommendations. A "short session" actually does not begin its work in till January, two months before its legal termination, and practically does all its important work within the last month or six weeks. Hence a President who wants anything done might as well save his ammunition until the real session. This is in fact what President Rossevelt is doing. He has been not at all secretive about the general nature of his campaign next winter, and he is the friends of the railroads in the Senate. He is also the battle over a demand for an inquiry into the terms of valuation and cost of operation of railroads as a basis for rate regulation. It is possible that this will not be the only important recommendation of the kind that the President will make at the next meeting, although his usual course is to embark on one new ammunition at a time. He has only one more long session in which to fight for his favorite reform if he quits the White House in 1909, but this fact does not make it necessary to fight for all his reforms at once, for he will not close when he quits the White House. This is, in fact, the phase of the situation which the President has often considered and is not reluctant about. His idea is that he has entered on a war for "economic reforms," and that his Presidential merely incidental to that war. He does not intend to end it as long as he lives. What will be the arena in which he will carry on the war after his term ends question about which he is more reiterate, appealed and earnest declarations that he should have been accepted at their face value in Washington at last. He has not said, however, that he would never run for president again, and in 1912 he would be refused an election, and would not refuse an election to the Senate to succeed Mr. Flatt in common knowledge. The President, while he has a high idea of the dignity of his office, has no false belief that, and does not consider that the dignity of the office is taken by a less exalted office after his term expires. John Quincy Adams became a Congressman after he left the House, Andrew Johnson went to the Senate, and John Kennedy understood that President Arthur would be accepted a Senatorship if the New York Legislature had shown any disposition to him. President Jefferson has been an officer since he entered public life, with an inconsiderable intermission of about four years, which he enlisted by running for mayor of New York. Politics is his odd job. He does not dream of abandoning it. He is convinced that economic reforms are urgently demanded, that they cannot be attained all at once, or even in a few days. He is convinced that in this age do what he can toward bring about, and that such a fight furnishes not only a good Mework for a man, but one that is likely to last out his life. He often talks of this determination, or amusement, and he is hard to bring to a way of talking gives one a better understanding of that which is a mystery to many—how he can reconcile himself easily to a departure in 1900 from the White House work which he no enjoys. The corporation men have never got the chizie to Roosevelt. They have never considered his acts as the product of a definite and consistent line of policy, aimed at the accomplishment of a particular result, and that he has never been as a separate and detached event, having no relation to the others and merely indicating a vagary of the moment. To oppose an adversary successfully it, is well worth him, and therefore the financial people should get a correct line on Roosevelt. His policy is that of one step at a time, but beginning the next step as soon as the first is taken. The men who opposed it were taken up in anger, meaning that this was a mere whim of his hand, and he got it he would be satisfied. The fact was that all the time he was battling for the Hephurn bill he regarded it only as a preliminary step. The next thing he did was to plan another step, and before he has won it he will be planning the step after that. His fundamental idea is that the problems of the twentieth century are economic and that there are inequalities in the wealth of the country, and that it is the duty of his patriotic statesmen to find a remedy for these defects and to grapple with these problems. He holds that it is not wise to sit on the bench and to grapple with an explosion, not of reforms like his, but of anarchic and violent radicalism. Toward these ends of his he presses steadily forward. He plans each step in advance, there is an idea abroad, especially in France, to glitter the proposition and immediately seize on it, and whoops things up to it without reflection. It is true that he is impulsive by his own instinct. His usual relativeness is more in manner than in plan. For instance, there was the matter of the Brownsville order. It came like a wave of the general idea was that the President, in fit of passion over the refusal of the soldiers to give up the rioters, had settled the whole thing in five minutes with an impetuous order. The fact was that the President, once gone, could not utmost care for a long time and had fully satisfied himself of his powers. Secretary Taft, who was away at the time, returned to Washington in consternation, and he sent a message to convince himself that the order was still being endured it held up. Then he telegraphed to the President some arguments which he supposed had never occurred to his Chief. Loeckner, who was the Department and director of Mr. Taft's history of the President's study into the case, showing him that every one of the propositions advanced had been fully considered and showing him how they were accordingly as to the justices of the order, but as to the President's deep inquiry, that Mr. Taft promptly rescinded his own order without waiting to hear from Mr. He probably still believed he was right, but not that the President acted headly. The care which the President now gives to the study of a subject before he makes a fight in due probably to a recurrent illness or to a severe over-impulsive. He learns his criticism and he got into no many snarls in the earlier part of his life that he undertook to overcome his own defect. He never can change his nature, but he can overcome it. He is not so far as to be curious to himself, and he does. If in his boast that he never takes a stand on a public question without long consideration, and in the triumph with which he has succeeded, one can see that he not only cut him off from his own rebellious character.

BUSINESS ENTERPRISES IN NEW YORK Real Estate and Investment Companies Accomplishing Big Results—Many Grocery Stores—Hotels, Restaurants and Barber Shops in Profession—Doctors, Lawyers and Other Professional Men Win Distinction. The great influx of Afro-Americans into New York city within recent years from all parts of the South has made it possible for a great number and variety of business enterprises to be controlled and operated by men and women. While the companies which have been organized in the promotion of business interests among Afro-Americans we are not able to secure large capital for purposes, yet several of them are conducted upon a high financial basis and have attained to places of distinction in financial circles. The enterprises conducted by Afro-Americans in New York are as varied as their needs and requirements. Fields which have heretofore been preempted by whites are to be invaded by Afro-Americans, and they promise to afford harvest, of rich results. The proposals in a series of articles to tell people in time just what the race is accomplishing in Greater New York along business lines. While business features shall be particularly dealt with, the professional side of the race here shall not be ignored, the lawyers, doctors and other professional women and women are doing to add to the financial worth of the race will be told here. At the present time the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company, of L. Collingwood Sheridan Ball is president, L. C. Collingwood Sheridan Ball is president, L. Atkins is treasurer, has the center for the race. During the past week the company has had E. L. Williams, an Afro-American architect, life plans for the great department store that the company is to open. Eighth avenue Maye. The store will be located in the neighborhood thousands of Afro-Americans are domiciled, and it is to be complete in all its appointments and afford employment to hundreds of men and women of the race. The officers of this company are young and aggressive to promote the interest in their determination to open the Eighth avenue store has been received with much enthusiasm here. The company, while its main offices are located in the Tract Society Building, at 130 Nassau street, in the different States and has already succeeded in accomplishing big results. The company at the present time owns over $100,000 of real estate, and is doing $15,000 worth of merchant business annually. There is an insurance company in connection with the business and the company at the capital $4,000,000 worth of insurance. The capital stock of the company is $1,000,000 and over $500,000 of this stock has been purchased by members of the race throughout the country. Already the company gives employment to hundreds of mechanics, clerks, bookkeepers, managers, stenographers and typeswriters. Through the agency of the Metropolitan Merchant and Realty Company many homes have been purchased for members of the company, and other results have been accomplished which have a financial benefit to those who are builders of shares of stock in the company. The pride of the Negro race in this city, as it relates to real estate affairs, is the Afro-American Realty Company. It is the president and general manager of which is located at 97 West 134th street. It has been through investments of this company that the Afro-Americans of this city have been enabled to secure desirability in low-rates which are not infested with crime and are tenement houses. Mr. Payton has been successful in the highest degree in carrying out the objects of the company for the better housing of the tenement houses of the colored people. Associated with Mr. Payton is the affair of the company are Edward R. Payton as vice-president; Fred R. Moore, secretary and treasurer, and the following efficient board of directors: Emmett Scott, William Ten Eyck, Sandy B. Jones, Stephen B. Bennett, Henry C. Parker, John E. Nail and James R. Garner. The company, besides operating in New York, intends ultimately to do in other large cities in the United States work similar to what it is doing here for the betterment of the living condition of its people. The company at the present time has control of seventy-five New York city apartment houses, valued at over $900,000. The company owns outright nine of their other sixteen are leased for long terms of years. The company has a rent roll that amounts to $80,000 annually, and when its operations are begun in other cities, the annual income gives promise of being as substantial as many companies have in the past. While the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company and the Afro-American has a rent roll annually, and began in other cases gives promise as many companies Anglo-Barron. A Mercantile and Afro-American Reality Company are the two companies here having the most capital they are by no means doing all that is being done elsewhere in the same line. There are several other companies which while not possessing so much capital are doing a creditable business. There are several who are dealing in real estate, their own account and are making money. The Afro-American Investment and Building Company of Brooklyn has been doing business at 14 Douglas street under the laws of the Stage of New York, and is under the control of the Banking Department of the State. The company is conservatively managed and has won the confidence and support of the people under the laws of the Stage of New York, and its members in purchasing property in Brooklyn and other nearby places. The board of directors is composed of representative citizens whose business interests are related to the office and directors of the company and follow Fred R. Moore, editor of The Colored American Magazine, president; Robert R. Willis, vice-president; Edward S. Lynch, secretary; Sally R. McClellan, secretary; Sally R. McClellan, secretary; V. Tunnell, William Russell Johnson, Thomas Fortune, Samuel R. Scottron, Robert H. Bullock and Charles W. Ufford. The W. Union Realty Company which has its main offices at 292 West Gild street and of which G. W. Baptist is president; V. Taylor, secretary, and J. E. Yates, treasurer, is doing a business that is growing steadily, and the company has been fortunate in securing several desirable apartment houses for its patrons. Dr. E. E. Jackson of 99 Sixth avenue is business manager of the New York and New Jersey Mutual Real Estate and New Jersey Company, is the agent for splendid building in New York and New Jersey, upon which his company is offering to build desirable homes which may be paid for in small sums monthly. 81th street is the promoter of a company that has been organized for the purpose of the building of artistic homes out on Long Island, and which are to be offered for sale to the stockholders of the company. The company holds a patent for a performance of cement block and brick material, out which the houses are to be built. --- Besides these already enumerated there are scores of young men who as brokers, a business, and a basis, are doing quite a business, and who are their labors and are endowed with much business capacity. Among these are Mrs. A. Simmons, John B. Rosemell, Melvin J. Chinua and J. Horn G. Howell, Samuel J. Kelsey and J. P. Bourke & Son. LINCOLN AND JEFFERSON ALIKE AS CHALK AND CHEESE Secretary Shaw Shows the Abundance of the Clown That the Two Were Alike in Anything. Speaking at Baltimore on Lincoln's birthday Secretary Leslie M. Shaw, among other things, said: "The defended candidate for Governor last year in New York declared that he was a Democrat, a Democrat and a Lincoln Republican. Those Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln had some things common. They were both Caucasian. Both were born in America, both were twice elected President of the United States both were patriotic, and both which they were alike. I think of nothing else in which they were alike. Yes, they were both married." "In political belief they were an unlike as is possible in men fully committed to a representative form of government. Jefferson incorporated the idea of phthalate into the terminology of the treaties of the United States, and gave the full measure of an earnest life to ultimate determination of the truth that the United States in one and indivisible. Though Jefferson deprecated slavery he defended its extension, into Missouri; Lincoln made it a proverb that this countryside was a slave-holdout and half free; Jefferson was a slave-holdout and the great emancipator. Jefferson doubt whether the Constitution even authorized the acquisition of additional territory; Lincoln believed that the United States possessed every right every power and every authority of sovereignty.

Brouille Accompanied in South Afen by the African Methodist Hymnical Church—Only Pure-Blooded Afro-American Should Prepare for Immunary Work in Afen and the Reason—Afhen Must Be. Re- gessed From Within by Native Pupunhood Educated on the Spot. Anhodied by Afro-Americans Specially Prepared for the Work. "The revelation of a mind is the most imposing object in human life. It does not matter whether the mind be lettered or unlettered, broad or narrow, Christian or pagan. If it be profoundly learned we admire it; if it be idiotically stupid we pity it; if it be broad we defer it; if it be narrow, bigoted, dogmatic, we shun it as a pest out of which no good thing can issue but only stench and confusion. It is a question always debatable, whether man is happiest in the savage or the civilised state. In the savage state with a low mental development, his wants are few such as Nature easily supplies, and while he may be worried about the hereafter, the origin and the end of him, his mental limitations neutralise the exceeding torment of doubt based in his ignorance of it all. In the civilised state his life is entirely artificial, as are all of his wants, so that he has little pleasure in it, because the more he has the more he wants, and desire and envy consume him, while his mental development leads him to a blind belief in a "worn out creed" or in disgust at his inability to know of a certainty the riddle of life and death. It is a debatable question as to which cause more pain and anxiety, the torments of faith or the horrors of unbelief. With his creature wants multiplied beyond reason and possibility of satisfying, with his mental development discontentedly groping; always for fuller light on the unending mysteries of the material world which feed his artificial creature wants, and with his faith as an his doubts in the origin of illumination of life, while his reliance, as unbelonging the implications of the human and after perfection, which exists only in the infinite, the civilised man lives a life of perpetual doubt and unrest as to the future and of unsatisfied and unattainable desires as to the present. Long ago Alexander Pope laid it down in beautiful iambes that "The proper study of mankind is man." We cannot get away from that fact, if we would. Such foreign travel as I have been able to indulge in has taught me the essential truth of the dogma. In Japan, in China, in the Philippines, the thing that never palled, in which I never lost interest, was man; and I find it even true of the life about me; the passing throng furnishes all the time an absorbing lesson to be studied, to be interested in, never to understand. In The Age of January 31 I had an article on "The Redemption of Africa," in which I endeavored to elucidate three facts: 1. Africa will still be redeemed from its slavery and material a civilization of its own with native governments and a religion evolved to suit the genius of the people. 3. The redemption of Africa must come from within, must proceed from the native, and not from without. 4. In the work of native preparation for the task mapped out for it the Afro-American church and missionary have a great and glorious opportunity, although neither of them is ready, at this time to do the part in the work which it demands and which should be made. In THE AGE of February 14, Mr. Dihdwo Twe, writing from Boston, gave us a revolution of his mind which was entirely surprising to me, in that without meeting my argument in the least he set up a plea that the Afro-American and his church are not fit by education or sympathy or material wealth to give any great aid and comfort to be in native African along the lines indicated to use Mr. Twe, "But if by this step to imply the competency of the American Negro to diffuse Western civilization in Africa, or to lead the indigenous African, then permit me to take the negative side". And then, he proceeds with elaboration to prove the negation of what I had not affirmed, which, as I stated it was: "Now, I believe, and in former discussion of the subject have said I believe that the African people are capable of servicing a Christian religion adapted to their genius, and of evolving systems of government out of the present tribal governments, with a common language and religion; and I believe that this can and will be greatly assisted by Afro-American missionaries in the work they will carry into the work the zeal and the faith, which Cardinal Lavieric carried into his work in North Africa, with no European Power to come after them and alter or destroy the fabric they will create, or help create; because the primal constructive force in this work of the redeeming of Africa must be an educated priesthood native to the soil and educated on the spot, as far as that can be done. And this work of the educated Afro-American and native African will have to be done by the European jealous has already hammered and prescribed, if not prescribed, the work of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in South Africa." There is not any ambiguity in that statement of the case. "The primal constructive force in this work must be an educated priesthood native to the soil and educated on the spot." "assisted by Afro-American missionaries specially prepared for the work". I did not imply the Afro-American competency to "diffuse Western civilization in Africa": I stated plainly that the reloitation of Africa was to come from within, by the teachings of a native priesthood educated on the spot. The Afro-American and his church were diversely involved in the work, and I did not support that they would be such until they were, rive for it by developed character and mind and affluence. Nobody can lift up an anybody else until he is able to lift himself up. But the Afro-American and his church are growing potentialities. They will gradually come up to the competency to do the work I have indicated in Africa. If they have a mind to do so, and are not repelled by such antagonistic and disparaging views of home as Mr. Twe has expressed, I should much regret that the intelligent natives of Africa shared Mr. Twe's views as to the capacity and position of the Afro-American and his church to work with the poor. Mixed-blooded Afro-Americans have no place in Africa and can only be of service in the direction I have indicated by sympathy and work in this country, because, I believe, it has been scientifically determined that mixed-blooded people die out after a time in Africa. If they do not, Antem-like, renew their vital force by intermarriage with the natives. The same principle is said to be true as applied to whites and mixed-bloods in the Far East, and from what I observed and learned in the Philippines I have no reason to question the theory. But there are plenty of pure-blooded Afro-Americans to whom the work in Africa will appeal more and more with the years as the glory and guildings of life become more prominent, and when the conditions of life for the pure-blooded African in the United States becomes more and more un焉able, as indications are that it will. Be the condition of Afro-American mental, moral and sympathetic development what it may be, the fact disprove the continuation of Mr. Twue that the Afro-American and his church are incapable of doing much service in Africa as I indicated in my first article. As a matter of fact, they are revolutionizing the religious thought and effort of the South African native, as far as the work of the African Methodist Episcopal Church is concerned, if we are aware of the statement of the case made by Bishop Charles Spencer Smith, in "Hillpaces of Africa" and Bishop Levi J. Coppin" in "South Africa" two books which every Afro-American should read, while Mr. Casely Hayford gives force to the possibility of the work described by the bishops, which Mr. Twue thinks out of the question, and backs my contention that such work can be done on a larger and progressive scale, when he declares: "It would be better for all concerned to call a spade a spade, instead of this nauseous play with fine words. But whether you openly go to work in breaking down native authority or you prefer to arrive at the same result by a back door, mark this, that it but, but it cannot fight against Native which he decreed that Gold Coast and Ashanti shall be only successfully administered, fairly and righteously, through the sons of the soil" ("Gold Coast Native Institutions", pp. 226-227). In "West Africa Before Europe," Dr. Edward Wilmot Blyden says (pp. 67-68); "Many white Christians are troubled by the importation from the United States of a Bishop of an African Episcopal Church." The (white) people will endure no equality of black and white in church or State." The African Methodist Episcopal Church has accomplished this, then—it has shown the native that there can be a bishop of his own race in South Africa, although an Afro-American, regularly recognized as such by the British South African Government, and that this Bishop can ordain native preachers, with power to perform marriage and burial ceremonies, something which was not allowed before by the British, and which is not allowed by the other Governments controlling in Africa, whose priesthood is invariably Catholic. What has been the result? Native preachers are now scattered all over South Africa, and the British Government of South Africa has too late undertaken to curtail if not to suppress the work of the African Episcopal Church in South Africa. But the church is there, and it will stay there. It will develop a native clergy, as I have indicated, and it will grow and spread throughout Africa, because the Afro-American and his church were able to get an opening in the country, which the native could not have got, and to furnish him with a way to do things which he did not know before. There have been some bad Afro-Americans in Africa, who have tried the faith of the natives, but they should not be discouraged, and the Afro-American churches working in Africa should help them not to become discouraged by meeting with the natives, and by believing that men and women are assigned to the mission work in Africa. To say that such people will not have more sympathy with the natives, and enter more heartily into their joys and sorrows, in their aspirations, than white people, whether missionaries or simply adventurers, is to make them more involved, and becoming more binding every day, that "blood is thicker than water." The spirit of distrust of each other and of wide divergence of opinions on matters common to each dominate in this country and in Africa, but these are the result of ignorance and poverty, and must disappear when these become less common here and in Africa, for it is, as the Dr. John W. Hamilton declared at the Congress for Africa, at Atlanta, in 1882, that "there are no inferior races; there are races with inferior opportunities." With the African people this must cause more and more to be the case, as far as their opportunities are concerned, here and in Africa, and the duty is upon all of us to do our part to multiply and enlarge these opportunities. T. THOMAS FORTUNE. COLOR AND THE LABOR QUESTION. Not a space Problem. But an Industrial space. One From The Atlanta Independent. Current events argue conclusively that the labor question is not a race problem, but an industrial one. Prevailing conditions in northeast Georgia argue logical that this situation the least important factor in our problems and not race or color. It is generally charged in the South that the Negro is shiftless indent and idle and unwilling to work and that his shiftless condition is both inherent and characteristic of the race; and because of this shortcoming he must be displaced as an industrial factor with white help. But let us review prevailing conditions among native white in the South, among African-American condition is not the determining factor and not race or color. Let us see if a white man is not as indent and shiftless as a Negro when ignorant and in the same condition of servitude. It was only last week that three petitions were presented to Governor Terrell by law-abiding and property-holding citizens of Banks and Habersham counties testifying to the industry and good character of certain -Negro families dwelling among them who had been expelled from home by the lawless and shiftless white element who would not work themselves or allow a Negro to work. The land-owners in the mountain regions have the same compaint as the land owners in the cotton belt. They tell you just as the cotton planters in the cotton region tell you of the Negroes, that they are in the hands of the shiftless element of the whites and are helpless to free themselves from the white idlers and prowls. In the southern part of our State where the Negroes dominate as a labor factor, they work as they please and at their own prices. In the northern and mountain counties where there is practically no Negro labor the white vagabond works as he pleases and at his own price. In addition to refusing to work himself he refuses to let anybody else work. So the conditions in the northern region are far more serious than in the southern. Now, the Negro has nothing to fear from the Negro laborers in telling numbers on the farms and other industrial fields. It means a better day for the black workingman, skilled and unskilled. There are millions of work to be done in developing the South, and it must be done. And the captains of industry are going to stand by that class of workingmen who deliver the goods they need most. Color is not going to cut any figure. All we have to do is to equip ourselves and render satisfactory service. Our problems are settling themselves. The problem is largely theoretical and in the fitness of things will adjust itself to conditions exist of natural necessity. Capital is as dependent as labor and must employmeness with will to dismantle pate, and must like the white of Banks and Hibernham counties have come to the protection of the law, abiding and industrious Negroes among them, the white captains of industry will come to our rescue throughout the South when we prove more indispensable than the white laborer. The problem is in the course of solution. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1907. WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS MENT AIDS FROM ALL OVER, IN CHICAGO Mrs. William Speaks on the Sponsored Work of Susan B. Anthony, One of the Noblest of Women. Chicago. February 23. The most notable convention held in Chicago during the month of memorials and celebrations in honor of National heroes was the 30th annual meeting of the National American Women's Suffrage Association. Nearly three hundred delegates were in attendance and from every State in the Union. Even from such Southern States as South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee there were delegates heartily joining in the work and light for an restricted suffrage for women and women having the qualifications that now give to men the exclusive right to vote.

BOLYAND, 210 West 61st Street. 6002-1yr Notwithstanding the large number of delegates and the high character and splendid abilities of these delegates, the convention failed to attract a large crowd of interested spectators to its sessions. But what the cause lacked in numbers was made up in the quality of the women who are willing to stand up and be counted for the largest possible number in a American citizenry refreshing listen to a body of American people advocating the conception of citizenship that excludes no one on account of race, color or sex. Mind you, this was not mere academic sentiment, with no adequate understanding of an intensely practical side of this more inclusive citizenship. Even the Southern women who came as delegates to this convention of noble women committed to this high cause seemed to forget for the sake of their own interests something that is wholly foreign to the political ethics south of the Ohio. These women now and then in spite of themselves applauded sentiments that are regarded as political heresy in the pent-up habitations of Dixie. Some of these aggressive partisans scarcely realized the interesting fact that the woman suffrage movement was born in in the anti-slavery atmosphere and received its first and most important support from notable men and women who fought out the first battle for the enlargement of woman's rights through the anti-slavery movement. When the woman movement received its christening at Seneca Falls N. X., Frederick Douglass was present as a delegate and an influential member of that small group of heroic souls who gave form and direction to the woman movement in American politics. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, both women of statesmanlike abilities for imaging, life development, health, and life friend and associate, Frederick Douglass. Their conventions were never complete without his presence and his noble words of advice and inspiration. The session of the convention just closed in Chicago that attracted much interest was the one devoted to a memorial in honor of Susan B. Anthony. Many of the younger members were quite surprised to learn from one of the speakers on this occasion how large a part Miss Anthony took in the Abolition movement, and how driving all of her nobility to the polls was so colored race. She was not only a coworker with Garrison, Phillips, Douglas, Lucretia Mott, Gerritt Smith and others, but even when the war was over and the great antifal slavery fight was won, Miss Anthony turned her attention to the great work of reconstruction, and with statesmanlike views insisted that "what was gained by the sword should not be lost by political indifference." She knew all the political leaders who worked out the problem of Reconstruction and she also knew the less heroic leader of the political movement resulting in the political sins of the disfruishment of the race. Her voice and influence were for the right thing at whatever cost. At the memorial service held in honor of Miss Anthony, your correspondent had the high privilege of delivering an address of appreciation of Miss Anthony. It gave us a sense of reassurance to witness the deep interest manifested by the delegates and auditors in the plot for power in whom Miss Anthony had the utmost faith and for whom she never lost her interest. It is evident from the enthusiasm invoked by this plea for the old time spirit of fair play and opportunity to rise to full citizenship that there is still a goodly number of responsible and influential people who are still alive to the importance of some just solution of the race problem. These good women are still nighting in the spirit of the anti-slavery movement. They deserve encouragement and support. To follow them is to tread in the path of progress. To support them, and in turn receive their support, is to add strength to our every contention. The colored women of the nation suffrage is helping to perpetuate restricted suffrage for himself and the other men and women of his race.

GREENBORO, N. G., February 20.—There is no boom in a business way among our people here, but there is steady program being made. Seven years ago you could probably be able to touch on the fingers of one hand; to-day we have thirty odd of various kinds, mostly in the grocery business, and doing as well as anybody else in the same line. We have several wood yards, four doctors, four nurses, and the drug stores has been doing business for eight years. Its patronage is O. K. We have 1,001 societies to care for the sick and bury the dead, and these can be found in all towns. I suppose. To be sure, these organizations do some The wife of our only lawyer, Judge G. H. Mitchell, was laid to rest on the 18th. Everything that science could do was done to save her, but that was not enough. She leaves two small children and many other relatives. She was a good woman, and all who knew her loved her. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Harris of Mr. Sina's church, and the congregation by Rev. Mr. Pool of the A.M. E. church. The congregation that gathered to see the last of her has never been surpassed in this town in size. The Rev. Mr.ney, his abstraction, his own satisfaction the superiority of his race—black—to that of the white; as much so as the Hon. Ben. Ryan Tillman would prove to the contrary. I have absolutely no doubt whether preached by Tillman or Viney. I believe in the equality of all races as such. I believe that the white race is superior in achievement just as I am superior to my boy, a lad of ten things now which he can't but that there is nothing which I can do that he can't learn to do and even improve upon. I think the white people have worn that old nightmare of race superiority to a great advantage, no hope no race will ever take it an arm. For some reasons known only to the Delty some peoples are advanced and some others are held back. Why? Every thinking man including Tillman, knows that every animal that can talk belongs to the human family, and that they are intelligent. But the human mighty has placed no barriers between them, as he has between different brute animals. Mankind is made alike. All the learning on earth can't refute this. I want to settle this matter now, once for all, as Bill Nye would say, by calling the attention of the news media all the illumination Darwin gave all the who differ with me, that all like animals are physically alike, every species, and there are few, if any, where a cross is present. I will tell you that, in opinion, a secondary affair, made only to break monotony or for climatic reasons. Do you hear, Vines—so this superiority business will get a solar power plant, a saw, a Arthur, Minkden, Sea of Japan and finally at San Francisco. PETE. THE INDIAN IN PUBLIC LIFE. Aurt Blood Elected to the United States Senate The election of Charles Curtis, a half-blooded Indian, to one of the seats in the United States Senate at the disposal of the Kansas Legislature is called by the New York Mail "a timely proof that merely because a latter-day American has been elected to the Senate, Americans he is not debarred from his country's positions of honor." This remark is elaborated by the Montgomery Advertiser, which also takes occasion to record other notable examples of men of Indian blood in public life in this country. His political promotion came fittingly at the moment when the permanence of Carlisle University was being assailed in the Senate. This son of a full-blood Kaw mother is not a *Carlisle alumnus*, but his case, none, none the less, is a proper anomaly. He is not a good use of education and should be deprived of his last Eastern outpost. The man of Ludian blood is no newcomer in our public life. But we are apt to regard him as the dulph of Ronnakei not the only eminent Virginian proud that his features told of his aboriginal ancestry. Atavism showed in Hamish Haminin's personality and in his marriage to the garrisset tribe who had a biblical representative when Tennessee sent Horace Maynard to Congress. A Senseen of unmixed lineage was Grant's secretary in war and Commissioner of the prison, pence, and Elly Samuel Parker, those places. A British admiral and general proclaimed their pride in their descent from Pocahontas when Sir Charles Monroe in 1780 sent the recent Jamesey banquet in London. The bird that fouls its own nest is the proper simile for the American who denies the American Indian of pure or omitted blood the opportunity to fit him forness that he has proved his ability to fill.

WASHINGTON, February 28.—The 500,000 Negroes of the District of Columbia have their families, very serious ones. But their failure to enjoy their civil rights as printed in the statutes enacted thirty years ago by Congress, and held to be unfulfilled, has left their territories and Washington, is not one of them. Only in the revolution of local public opinion do I see any relief. Race prejudice must be lenced and the Negro must be willingly accorded what the law requires. The problem is the problem. Washington is essentially a Southern city, with that pernicious belief that civil rights necessarily implies social rights between the races, regardless of personal choice, because Washington is supported by immigration, the tendency is toward the absorption by the inconvenience of prevailing ideas on the race question. As to the remedy suggested, the opening of hotels and restaurants by colored enterants is supported by the public regardless of race, pertaining inquiries arise. Where in this broad land has this remedy met the situation and at the same time witnessed the support by the dominant race? Washington, the conditions, not of traffic, nor of commerce, and is dependent primarily on the conditions of national legislation for its life. Worse than all, our 95,000 are without any political defence. They have no political education and are administered by a board of three commissioners, two of them from civil life appointed by the President and both of the two great political parties being represented by the Negro to get a fair deal in all matters of public interest. He must be content with the crumbs dulled out to him, or get nothing. It is this abnormally unjustified education permitted other cities like New York Boston and Philadelphia, each with a smaller race population and few individuals of liberal education or of successful business, to be taught in whatever makes for public spirit and manly self-assurance. Give the District the ballot and the Negro complying with all constitutional requirements, find a way to have all his rights acknowledged, respected and granted.

LOUISVILLE KY. February 21 — The report that has been going the rounds in this section that Dr. L. G. Jordan is favorably mentions for a chapelship in the United States army, is gathering more favorable toward him daily. Rev. Jordan is one of the most aggressive ministers of the country, an earnest, tireless worker, and a Christian gentleman. He calls himself a Baptist minister. Steam Enterprises the Baptist denomination on account of his travels over the country in the interest of foreign mission work. While Dr. Jordan is a Baptist, he is admired and respected by all de- trated by the activity and support given him in his work for the Afro-American Council. His work and worth in spiritual and temporal affairs is known all over the country, and his selection would be known to get close to men with spirit and aptitude and become a comrade. A large number of missionary workers on the field were here last week to attend the spiritual meeting that was in session for three days at the Fifth Street Baptist Church, where enthythmia was a success and much enthusiasm was feasted. mong the visitors and missionaries were Misses DeLaney, Straughn, Holmen, Kimble, Whitfield, and Sneed; Reverends Pions, Fleming and Davis. Strong and able addresses were delivered by Reverends Parrish, Frank and Jordan, and Reverends Angela Sneed from Indianapolis. A Red Lent meeting was held at the Fifth Street Baptist church and all the missionaries spoke with a feeling that collated much sympathy. Nearly every denomination accepted a missionary to speak to their congregation and a small collection was given. Most of the visitors omicided at the former mission headquarters, at 726 W, Walnut street, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs being the hostess. Mr. R. W. Thompson, one of the most versatile newspaper correspondents of the country, left Lousville February 24th, for Washington, to be employed under the Jamestown Commission of the Negro for Washington, to be employed under the staff of Mr. Thomas J. Lowlay and Mr. A. M. Curtis, of Washington, who are under the government. It is safe to say that the outlook is brighter in this section than ever, as already agents come with the proper authority are here to support the Exposition. Mr. Thompson is relieved by the War Department from his duties at Jeffersonville for an indefinite period. The Falls City Reality Company, with a capital stock of $25,000, is now offering preferred stock to the public. The Company will a splendid showing and realized last year its business for the first year's business. The officers are Dr. L. Knight, president; Rochelle I. Smith, secretary; Thomas Cole, treasurer. Mr. J. L. V. Washington will soon establish headquarters for the Knights of Columbus. From all interviews this summer, from all interviews it will be the largest attended in the history of the Supreme Lodge. Mr. John T. Clark, a graduate of the Central High School and the Ohio State University, who was recently employed at the Navy Yards, is now assistant to the Alma Mater, this city. While Mr. Clark is Norfolk, he handled the NEW York ACE with great success. Bishop Evans Tyree, of the A. M. E. church was in the city last week and reached at the Quinn Chapel church Sunday. Monday he lectured, to a audience of fellow carpets, surpassed anywhere in the United States for education and refinement. There is some possibility of the establishment of a bank in this community. It is hoped that it will come out of the Falls City Reality Company, the strong member of the kind in the State. The members of the company are going along smoothly, watching every point for business improvement. J.

Washington's Notion in Tillman's Head, From the Baltimore Daily News. Booker Washington's talk at the Columbia, S. C., nongroove conference was, as an example, a training he struck the keynote when he said that "one of both races are to live here because of the race, and the question to which he addressed himself was simply how the two races can live together in peace and harmony, and how to deal with the interests of the other." A compassionate suggestion included in his remarks was to "encourage our city to conflict do a better thing for us than to establish a first-rate training school for the Roosevelt injection of a little of the Booker Washington notion of the race problem into South Carolina, he would do him a vast deal of good." 5pm and 6:30pm Dance From: The World OUR GWN FARMER'S TALKS NOW WASTE DISTRICTS THE FARM There is no farm so well regulated that the farmer can rid himself entirely of all waste. At least that is the opinion of the writer. But there are certain forms of this powerful evil that can be curbed: if not wholly curbed. This article considers the aims of omission and commission of the average farmer along this line. Time yes, that is the word. time. If time, or the loss of it, rather, could be measured on the farms of the country enough pounds would be produced each year to move the world off its axis. Now, if you are the farmer, it is the crows road grocery, to begin with. Drop in there any time of day, or if you prefer saunter over to the nearest village grocer and there you will find your friend the farmer telling his daily companions all about why we did it. You will see two crows on the floor he bought two pounds of Paris green for potato bugs and did not have to use an ounce of it, and as the tobacco smoke begins to curl upwards towards the ceiling and the tobacco juice commences so the vultures can about to floor he goes with his yank completely oblivious of the golden moments that are gliding from under his tobacco benumbed feet. Again, what a glorious picnic he has every evening at the post office. Doesn't matter whether he gets a bite of the vultures or doesn't, just sit there in billed idiness and listen to the countryside gossip and in turn entrance his hearers with the story of how he beat his neighbor, Cy Hopkins, on that horse deal. All the time the tobacco smoke is curling up and forming its little rivets in spots about the floor. Now, how is the fellow losing time? It's winter, and his time is his own, since farmers are supposed to be independent. Yes, but by showing this same independence he is omitting to do things that he knows ought to be done. For example, when farmers must be mended, the plow is in no condition to begin work with, the wagons ought to be looked after, but he of the tobacco smoke curls and of the tobacco juice rivulets can spare no time from his boon companions for such trifles as these. Jobs like these can wait. They usually do. So when looking after plows and wagons all pile up at the same time, isn't that easy? Again, your friend the farmer will drop a most valuable piece of work, laying, for instance, to visit some picnic away out of his neighborhood, knowing a large part of his crop; or, at the best get it in a damaged condition. Then there is the holidays' evil, most of them coming in the busiest season of the year. But what does your farmer friend care about that? So he takes care of the pike. So he takes an extra pocketful of "two-fors" and an unusually large piece of "Luce Hinton" and off he goes to wander amidly up and down the pike, occasionally stopping to tell some friend about how he is "pushed" out of the village, so he may have to get someone to help him "out." Now, there is our friend, Mr. Early Riser. He can make more time and incidentally lose more than any other farmer in the township. At daylight he is hitching in preparatory to a big day's work in the field, but after a while Mr. Riser is in township, and comes up in the next field to begin his day's work. Each plows along in his respective field in silence until the sun begins to get in his work. As one man they remember something that they forget to stay yesterday, so gravitate towards the shade of a "line tree" where they proceed to discuss the merits or demerits of the trees, and the teams of these two industrious farmers are taking the brunt of the sun's rays, while the minutes under the shade of that tree are lengthening into hours. Oh, time! How many farm hulks have been thrown upon the mortgage rocks iii yth name! Proper recreation on the farm, as elsewhere, can have but one result, and that is to keep the farmers nose very close to the grindstone. A rural preacher told this story to the writer not long since. He was making a call on a certain poor parishioner who had just finished butchering two or three pigs and then dimmed the fire and queen of the kitchen had cooked all the spare ribs of those pigs and served them up for his especial benefit. He was a large man, but he could not get away with the ribs of two or three pigs. The first great story is that the average farm housekeeper does not know how to cook and serve a decent meal. The next lesson is that the poorer the farmer the richer he wishes to appear in the sight of his friends and visitors. Now, couple this to the fact that large numbers of farmers store and you see in a glance what the situation is. Somehow the farmer does not seem to realize that this is one of his greatest wastes. All he wants is a "plenty to eat" and the rest of the world can have heaven, and earth, too, for that matter. Now, this is where the education of the young women of the farms comes in. A training that will fit them to prepare a very good farm worker, the most useful farm worker will be required to nurture the body. Economy is needed on most farms in this very important matter of food. Something has been said about fertilization in one of these articles, but since it is important to the life of the farmer, much cannot be said about it, especially as it comes under the head of waste. As a farmer allows his land to decrease in fertilization, the cost of production increases proportionately. This is why fertilization as much as one acre under high fertilization, is it not easy to see that it takes three times as much work to produce the same result? Hence it pays to use more or less fertilization. The article under the head of "How to Supply Funds to the Farmer" goes into this subject more fully, but the writer would advise his farmer again to be very careful in the stables in the barnyard, on any place where fertilizers can be produced. A gentleman connected with a large farm machine works once told the writer that his company sold two million dollars worth of machinery in one year. Now, he works in a business, which seems to indicate that great numbers are entering the farming business. Not so. It simply means that there are very many careless farmers who treat their machinery so badly that they are not using it overtime. Go into any hay or grin-making country during harvest time, and you will find delicate and expensive machinery going to waste, standing somewhere and just going to be harvested by the farmer through using it. On farmers. "Oh, that's iron; it don't hurt it to stand out." But just there is where his farm education was deficient. He ought to have known that the action of the machinery can harm an wood. Keep the machine on; then oil them thoroughly when in use; but, above all, keep them out of the weather. There are many other wastes, but to the writer's mind the above-mentioned must be fragrant oil that farmers should indultratively try to avoid. A FARMER. Henging, 12. February 22.
