BAPTIST WORK IN VIRGINIA: FLOURISHING CONSTITUTION OF THIS STRONG DEMONSTRATION. Large Congregations, Hundreds Homes of Worship, Well Publ. Able Hick- tom and Schools Enthusiasts—Public Housing to Royal African American Deputy Marshal and His Policemen Arrested Sun, Criminal Anthropy—Personal and Social Noten. RICHMOND, March 4—Possibly in no section of the country does the great Baptist demonstration flourish as it does in Richmond and the State of Virginia. In the same way, the houses of worship, able preachers, whom they pay well, and contribute to the support of three schools for the higher Christian education of Afro-American youth and to half a dozen or more secondary schools doing a great work for foreign missions. So large have been the congregations in the city churches, that it was not an uncommon thing a few years back, when we had different factions, one of the other of the factions would withdraw, organise a new body, purchase property and build another house of worship. And if pastor differed in his church policy or other matters often one church would withdraw the hand of fellowship from the other, which would bring about a feud between the churches which would extend over many Twenty-five years ago, owing to a misunderstanding between a portion of the congregation of the First Baptist church and its then pastor, a large portion of the congregation withdrew and formed a new congregation, one of the largest and most progressive in the city. Dissensions in the Second Baptist church led to the formation of Moore street Baptist church by the insurgent forces of Second church, and later on these insurgents got wrangling among themselves, and there was another famous (but commonplace) church, the Late Rev. Richard Wella, whom no more truly consecrated minister of Christ ever filled a Richmond pulpit and a committee from his church, Ebenezer Baptist, in a signed communication to one of the Richmond deputy presidents. Thereafter, for which he brought down upon his head the everlasting anthema of the latter-day philosopher. The trouble thus begun spread to the individual members of the two congregations and no bitter was the strife that the Jasper congregation would expel any of its members at Ebenezer. The individual members after years of empathy finally became reconciled, but the two preschers never. Although the Rev. Wella used every endeavor to bring about a reconciliation, the Rev. Jasper, who by the way, was a minister and died without having become reconciled with his goodchild. When the Rev. James Holmes died several years ago, the calling of a pastor to the congregation one near resulting in another split in that congregation. The age between them was "Co-operationists" and the "Anti-Co-operationists," the former being in accord with the American Baptist Home Mission Society, and the other opposed to the society's policy in the conduct of institutions of learning in the State. The Co-operationists, after doing this they found it necessary to expel several influential members and forced the resignations of several others from the board of deacons. After the death of the Rev. John Jasper, the Rev. It. V. Peyton was called to work in Zion Hill in Huntington, where he worked in the church, which seems to be prospering both financially and spiritually. But the Rev. Peyton has thrown a bomb in the Baptist camp in Richmond, which has excited the camp from center to circumference. The Rev. Peyton has announced his intention to lay gray. The question has been taken up by pastor and layman as well: it is being discussed in the club houses, barber shops, shoe shops, barrooms, and everywhere, with more or less warmth of feeling. Up three thousand people were gathered in Second Baptist church last Monday morning to hear the question discussed by the Baptist ministers' conference. Dr. Peyton led off in the support of his contention while Drs. Evans Payne and Z. D. Lewis championed the opposition. The question say it was a battle royal among these intellectual and spiritual giants, but grave doubts are expressed as to whether the argument added one jot or title to the cause of the Christian church. At the Sunday services yesterday, the congregation touched on the question, more or less, each expounding his ideas. The end is not yet, for the argument is more than likely to run for several months on the same issue, but the reviews are being forgotten and the "poor sinner" not knowing whether to approach the mercy seat to find favor and forgiveness of Him who bids all to seek, knock and ask, is wondering where he is. It strikes a thinking person as rather absurd to read some of the nice things that the liberal white press says about their desire to see the Afro-American success in their very acts speak to country. Here in Richmond the Society of Friends have a meeting house in Clay street, in a neighborhood in which there are no Afro-American tenants save in one or two of the cross streets. The Friends, being few in number, are not in worship and are desirous of selling and buying a smaller meeting house. In some unaccounted-for way it is got rumored around, and finally found its way into the daily papers that Afro-Americans were trying to purchase the property to own. The major portion of the residents of that section are what is known in Richmond as "half-strains," a somewhat substantial element or the lower middle class, the female portion, single, being employed in the cigarette and cigar factories, stores, or in office work of some kind, Americans were after the property of the Friends, the head of each family "flung a fit," revived and through the press signed a call for the neighbors to meet at a public hall half a mile away to protest against the inquisition of the property. Representatives of a Protestant Episcopal church and a Methodist Episcopal church South, which are both in the immediate neighborhood and all protested. The agent in whose hands the property is, and representatives of the Quaker community was not their intention to sell to Afro-Americans—but as they must sell the property be put up at public auce E.C. SHEPTON. tion at the proper time, and which would give the white neighbors an opportunity to purchase. Now, if the white city government would give to the residential Afro-American sections of the city-improvements in the way of paved streets, cleaner streets, appy to the city, canx would be content to play in their back yards; and not make "invasions" into white territory; but this they will not do, and as the Afro-American increase his wealth, there is no power on God's earth to keep him from acquiring property in more desirable and healthy areas.

Richmond was thrown into feverish exilement last week when William J. Gentry, an ex-policeman, and U. M. Blind, a former deputy U. S. marshal, came to Richmond to crime assailants a young country wife, and just reached the city from Buckingham county. The girl had come to the city for the purpose of visiting her sister. Being a stranger and not knowing the way to her sister's home, she sought advice from her friend, a lawyer of taking her to her sister's home they conducted her to a house of ill fame, doped her and then criminally assaulted her. Both have been held for the grand jury. The case is a serious one even though the girl was consented on the part of the girl, for she is under sixteen, and the age of consent in Virginia is sixteen years. Blind, the former U.

A Washington dispatch, dated March 1, evidently edited by a Southern white man, as if does not indicate whether the complainant is a married or unmarried woman, says. Guy Edwards of Nashville, a colored woman, or descendant of the African-American, has filed a complaint with the Interstate Commerce Commission protecting against the "Jim Crow" cars of the Southern States. The Chattanooga and St. Louis railway Company, operat- ing on the lines of the road named are placed in separate coaches, which are generally 'dirty and filth', whereas white passengers, or descendant of the Caucasian race, are placed in class accommodations for first-class cars. "She recites that descendants of the African race, although they purchase first-class transportation, are not furnished with first-class accommodations, and discrimination within the meaning of the act to regulate commerce between the States. She sets forth that the Jim Crow coaches are divided into compartments and that such coaches furnished to collisions to poisoning to poisoning dirty and dirty, are usually crowded with passengers of every description of character, who smoke, drink and curse in the presence of women and all others who possess decent breeding instance where she, having bought a first-class ticket, was compelled to put up with inferior accommodations in a "Jim Crow car. She asks that the defendant railroad be called upon to show cause why discrimination within the meaning of why it should not be discontinued." AMERICANS IN THE CONGO. Mr. Morgan takes the position that the United States, by reason of its Negro population descendant from Congo parentage, is especially obligated to support the movement to reserve to the native population the worth of Congo products, and to ensure that the United States, by King Leopold to wealthy citizens of the United States, is not valid, unless confirmed by the sinnatory Powers to the Brunswick act, signed in 1890. The Senator declares that if the American company has not communicated its transactions to the Government of the United States, it is obligated to make impurity as to the content of the concession and as to all the terms and conditions of the 'grant. Mr. Morgan concludes with the following declaration: It is the duty of the United States Government to see to it that no barrier o. impediment is created by the act of Lopold or by any other authority to debar the exiled Africans who have been held in slavery in the United States from the right to return to their native land and to hold, in company their kinpeople the free and unobstructed opportunity to enjoy the great advantages which are now offered to them, and which the life of their nation repatriation in their own country without a hindrance. The native resources of Central Africa present vast stores of treasure to invite their aid in developing the wealth of that country, and it is time that the United States should impulse in their powers, whatever they may be in adding to their sovereign rights in the country that God has given to them. WILCOX ESTATE DIVIDED Thekdegree Institute and Audubon Society Hate Cats, Lose Lots of Leaves, Protects WHERE CAME INTO LARGE BEQUESTS. The National Association of Audubon Societies each just come into possession of $232,770 $0 from the residuary estate of Albert Willow, who died suddenly last August at Sonbright. In his will Mr. Willow made numerous special requests to relatives and friends of his family to the S. K. Smith Intrimary of Staten Island and $100,000 to the National Association of Audubon Societies. The income from the residuary estate was to go to David Willow, president of the Delaware and Hudson Company, during his death to be divided between the Audubon Society and Tuskegee Institute. As a mark of respect for the memory of his brother Mr. Willow took steps to arrange that the institutions named should have the immediate benefit of the residuary interests present due to the residuary interests, and the amounts paid in cash. UP TO RECTOR BISHOP The Rev. Dr. Van De Water Explains the Situation in Harlem. A brief article in my mime paper, published a month ago, has been the occasion of criticism in several of your recent issues. The occasion of the article in my paper was the official request of the colored people to have a church of their own services in Harlem, with a new ultimately to remove his church to this vicinity. I gave my permission and urged my vestry to do so, which they did gladly, believing that the colored people here knew enough to have a church of their own institutions especially provided for them. I said then, and believe now, that the sooner such provision is made for the colored people the better for them, and that the sooner the colored people should not for the best interests of either the whites or the blacks that they should attend the same Sunday schools, or the same churches. We have always voted the Republican ticket for the member of the Union League Club, and am a friend of the Negro race. Any colored person coming to my Sunday school or to the church will be received graciously, courteously, and provided with all the means of grace which we best deserve. All the same I hold that it is much better Tor all concerned that the races should worship by themselves. The amusing part of this whole thing is seen when one reflects that a colored person should have a church in Harlem for colored people, and when with alacrity consent, and said "the sooner the better," the colored people didn't like it. It's a case of we consented too readily to please them.

PRICE; 5 CENTS. The Respectable Element of the Race Should Touch the Lenders of the G. O. P. a Lemon for the Transbord of Last Fall—Don't Waste a Vote on April 2—Some of More Gruntitude-Fast Fulfillment. CHICAGO, March 4—The Afro-American voters of Chicago are about to be an interesting situation in the city elections to be held in April next for mayor, alderman and other municipal officials. It is less than si-months since they passed through an election that left the average of Chicago of this city with a very bad taste in the language to speak, and a feeling decidedly hostile to theical Republican party. It will perhaps be remembered by the readers of Tum Aor that in the election last fall, the Afro-American candidate for the position of Municipal Judge, F. L. Barnett, was defeated. The colored citizens of Chicago feel that their candidate unengaged by Republican voters or countered after election. Your correspondent is not stating that the colored candidate was counseled out, but merely that this was the belief by very many of the colored people who are interested in political questions, by the failure of a candidate thus far to act upon the petition for ballots in behalf of the defeated Afro-American candidate for the judgingh The situation is wholly without precedent in local politics. The loyalty of the colored voters to the G. O. P. has been one element of the party. In close elections, it has been the Afro-American vote that has been confidently relied upon to make victory more than possible. Without that support the Republicans will not win this election, the Republicans to win this election. Of course the colored men who are in office and want to perpetuate themselves in office are trying to make the best of an unfortunate situation and are making loud claims as to loyalty, etc. Poor fellowships are not allowed. They are expected to give a good account of their election districts, which they are supposed to control and "round-up" on election day, but they are having the hardest time in all their political career. They are not the present brand new political machine that firmly entrenched itself in power throughout the State, and Cook county in particular, has been provoking sting in dealing out patronage, to the colored brother. For two long years our colored team has been working to look looked and listened in the direction of Springfield, the capital of the State. So far they have neither seen nor heard anything that could even be construed into an invitation to come and get what they have been so illiterate in the direction of Honor and Influence have been given and used to the high dispenses of spoils and patronage, that the colored leaders who did so much to bring victory to Illinois stepbillicans were quite as hungry for the colored men as they were for the position they have so liberally remembered. The colored politicians charge that although the colored vote is an increasing as well as a loyal factor toward party success, and although with the general growth of the State there has been a corresponding increase in the number of honor and trust, the colored voter has shared very little in this increase. There seems to be a tacit understanding on the part of the powers that be that the Afro-American must not be advanced beyond a certain point, but it is possible to break into any new position of honor and emolument. It is not strange then that there should be a noticeable falling away from that buoyant and spontaneous party enthusiasm among the colored Republicans that formerly existed. The colored voter is that of the white people. There is also another reason for the present apathy among colored Republicans. Some of the readers of THE AGR will remember that some weeks ago, when Senator Tillman of South Carolina, came to Chicago to lecture on the "race problem" was memorialized in a book. Dunn is who questioned of colored citizens, refused to sit on the platforms with or to introduce Tillman. Since that time, Mayor Dunn has been a sort of hero among the colored people of Chicago. This act of courtesy and justice was not a solitary one in his attitude toward Afro-Americanism in his treatment of colored people in many ways. Some of the best-paying positions held by colored men in this city are held by men appointed by Mayor Dunn. Yet it cannot be said that the present feeling of the average colored people is deeper than this and significant of a new order of intelligence. In some of the Northern communities politics with our people have come to be something more important than a sentiment. Gratitude for past favors is being displaced by a feeling of intelligent self-interest. If the people are looking at things as they are in this community and not as they were in the 60's way down South. He is bringing to us the feeling that service is reciprocal. It is the rule in American politics that when a party fails to serve the people, the people will refuse to serve them. This increasing strength and a conscious sense of freedom from traditions of mere gratitude. At any rate, the political situation in Chicago, so far as our people are concerned, is just as bad as we see just how far our people can openly and foulessly break away from the traditions, and cherished sentiments of the past forty years. FANNIE BARRER WILLIAMS TIPPING BILL DOOMED. George Washington Culp's Protect Decides the Issue. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. March 1.—Following the committee's hearing, at which Negro waiters appeared on the side of the opposition, the Missouri Senate yesterday voted to postpone indefinitely the from giving or receiving tips in any form. Waiters, sleeping car employees, hotel porters, bellboys, and all others affected by the proposed anti-tipping legislation, were represented at the meeting. The bill passed the House by an overwhelming vote. Dr. Alonzo C. T. Bush, author of bill, grew up as a physician. He made an impressive speech, but he was not at all to 1 shot when George Washington finished. George Washington, who received tips from General Grant, Dr. Dowie, wasn't there to for Jimi Crow bill. It was that caused him to APPOINTMENT OF SOUTHERN VIERSERS TO HIGH POSITIONS. Analysis of Testimony of Soldiers Shows That They Did Not Set Up Brownsville—Then, Who Did?—Michigan City—Then, Who Did?—Oregon—Then, Who Did?—Boston—What's the Matter With Beaversville Anyway? WASHINGTON, March 4.—The Senate committee on Military Affairs has adjourned the hearing in the Brownville affair until March 11, when the white-collar officers in the Brownville are expected to appear as witnesses and to tell the committee what they know about the "shooting up" of Brownville on the night of August 13-14, last up. To the adjournment of the hearing the impressors appealed that the members than members of the three colored companies stationed at the time at Fort Brown must have done the "shooting up" of the town. The direct and indirect impressors were to be clear them not only of the crime, but of all knowledge of the perpetrators of the same. The impression is steadily growing in their favor. For the hemost, the most cunning and searching commissioners, the village to case of the colored soldiers, has failed utterly to weaken or shake in any essential particular, the cumulative strength of the testimony that the black battalion was in no way implicated in the brownville on the night of August 13-14. One of the most damaging pieces of testimony, which came out at the hearing—damaging to the President's side of the controversy—is the way General Garlington shut off the soldiers from relating all the circumstances in their knowledge of the corruption in the General Wheeler testified that when he tried to tell the Inspector-General of the army how he had heard on the night of the riot the galloping of horses outside of the barracks, General Garlington had promptly shut him off, telling him, "I will not be there," and questions as were put to him. In this way the witness was not allowed to tell the Inspector-General that he had heard the whining of bullets over the garrison at the time of the firing. The inquiry which the Inspector-General of the army was commissioned to make by the head of the army, in view, in relation to which the facts in the case had no relevancy and no value. Therefore they were excluded as trivialities outside of the scope of his errand and aim. Another interesting feature of the hearing, immensely helpful to the President, is him hummed hurtful to the President's hummed cratic action, in the time which it takes to clean a gun after it is fired, so as to enable it to pass the rigid inspection to which all the guns of the black battalion was subjected on the morning of August last, at Fort Brown in the Rifle Station, at the testimony of witnesses agree that the thing cannot possibly be done in ten minutes, and that it would require at least twenty minutes under the most favorable circumstances. Senator Foraker is so confident that this is so that he can use the hearing to give $1,000 to charity if he gives whom he had in mind at the time can clean a gun in ten minutes as the following clipping plainly shows: Temple Thornton, formerly a corporal of Company D, was called to corroborate testimony given by a number of witnesses. He was asked twenty minutes was the shortest time in which a gun could be cleaned if shot only once. He was asked by Senator Foraker if he had ever seen a commissioned officer mean a rifle. The witness "he was told that one of our generals can clean a gun in two minutes." "I'll work for him the rest of my life if he can do it in two minutes, or five minutes, or ten minutes, replied the teacher, or ten minutes, he breaks the record." Senator Foraker smiled, and said to Senator Scott: "I'll give $1,000 to charity if the general I mean can clean a gun in ten minutes. I doubt whether he could clean a gun in an hour." Senator Warner of Missouri, the leading counsel for the prosecution, which means, of course, for the President, has made it pretty lively at times for the colored soldiers under cross-examination. The judge has not been able to break down a single witness in a single essential circumstance. He is foxy and heavy and dressed in his method of cross-examination, yet he has made no headway against the honesty and straightforwardness of the plaintiff. The story of the men that the block battles did not "shoot up" the town, and that in no way were the men of three companies composing it implicated in the crime. The President's leading counsel at the trial has made it lively just the same for the plaintiff, while an individual soldier comes along who made it lively for Senator Warner likewise, as doth appear from the following incident clipped from *The Washington Post*. Senator Warner was struggling in the stress of cross-examination with Willie Mays, with whom he right valiantly when this alloy appears between him and the Senator, but here is the way *The Post* tells the story: Senator Warner sought to cross-examine the witness, and was asking him about the sound of galloping horses which he said he heard, when the wifen stopped him, and previously caused laughter, suddenly interrupted the Senator by saying: "Jes' yo, wait right there one minute. Sonoror: let me ask you a question, will you? "Well, go ahead, then: I'll submit" said Senator Warner, goodly answered. "Now, jez you sipsonin a case," the witness went on: "sipsonin yose hear a man chopinin wood hout three, three, three." The senator didn't like yose hearss a dawg a sharkin', don't you sipson you can tell de diffence between de man a chopinin' wood and dat dawg a barkin' of the committee was upset and the Senators shouted. Senator Warner admitted his ability to distinguish between such sounds, but the cross-examination after that did not amount to the Senate. The committee was in no mood to be serious. There is a queer sort of a report current in the city, which is given here for what it is worth. It is going about in a sort whisper. Fearful are men of the city, and the civic occupant of the White House. This report in effect is that the President sent for representatives of the A. M. E. and Zion churches and said to them that he wants all this Brownville area to be the ground that he had done much for those two great churches in the matter of appointments to high office under his Administration. He had given, for example, the recordship of dwellings in the Zion church, and the registership of the treasury to Mr. Yvonne, a member of the A. M. E. church, and the promise of an army of enlisty in the same branch also. As a had been by them be, the President should shall trace it and completely all all and Mr. touching the Brownville area and the rectoremer doth not make it so. Whether this do name of the President is intended to reach beyond the limits of the seat of Government, nor yet whether the constitutional powers that he of these two powerful church organizations have yielded to this demand by the legislative apparatus now domiciled in the White House. We, for ourselves, cannot believe that these two churches would, under any circumstances, yield in the slightest particular an idea of the liberation of the colored race to such a commander as the president of the United States, it in whispered that it was actually made to representatives of them both. Another very interesting bit of news in this connection, and might significant, too, is the announcement that the President has decided to appoint Senator Blackburn of Kentucky on the Irishman of the Irishman of the oral plums which the Administration has to offer. Senator Blackburn's term as a Senator expired on the fourth of March. He has been a member of that body for a great many years, and he was the minority leader of his party during his tenure. He has been throughout his long Senatorial career consistently and persistently opposed to the colored people of the country. It does seem strange, panning strange, therefore, that just as he makes his exit from a stage, which he has held in his life in opposition to the rights and liberties of the colored race that the political head of the Republican party, the party to which belongs the great mean of this race, should select this man, their inveterate foe, to place in ally and under a Republican administration. Why does the President do this? He does this thing because Senator Blackburn has upon occasions made himself very useful to Mr. Roosevelt. Senator Blackburn won the undying gratitude of the public for his role in the great debate in the Senate in the Brownville affray by the support which he gave him at that time. It was Senator Blackburn's attachment to the Foraker resolution which came near split the Senate in half. He was southerner on the question as to the justice and constitutionality of the dismal order of the President. Some such expression of opinion in his favor by the Senate the President was praining that he should honor and reward with one of the fattest and most responsible positions within his gift the Democratic minority leader of the Senate, who tried to the best of his ability to get the Senate to accord the President the record what the President passionately wanted it to do. We recall another incident in this connection, a straw showing how the currents of National patronage are flowing. Senator Carmack of Tennessee, up to the time he been a bitter opponent of the President, Nevertheless in that debate he made a speech upholding the authority of the President in the case against the 167 man who was graftful, and when a few days after Senator Carmack made his speech defending the discharge order, he intimated, through a mutual friend, to the President that he would like to have a certain amount of assistance appointed on the visiting board for West Point by the President; and in return Mr. Roosevelt intimated through the aforementioned mutual friend to Senator Carmack, saying, "I am not interested." And so mores on the passing show. But how fares the colored constituents of the President at his hands while they are scattering right and left to Southern Democratic leaders the big plumbers? Well, echo answers, "How fare they, indeed?" ARCHIBALD H. GRIKKE The Green Recital True Reformera' Town a' Growing. From The Richmond True Reformer. Some years ago the director of the Old Town, William Washington, O. T. K., held a portion of Westham farm sur- vey into one-half acre lots, and set aside to be built up and known as Brownnell, in honor of William Washington Brown- neller of the great Order of True Reformer, and the establishment of the Old Town. Home These lots were offered for sale to members of the race. One hundred and fifty of these lots, of which race, of whom are True Reformers at a cost of fifty dollars each. The major portion of their payments on said lots, and hold their deals to the same. Following this an effort subsequently several houses have been erected in different parts of this plot, and occupied. At this writing these will be completed early spring, and tenants have already applied and secured said houses. There is a part of this part of the country for dwelling houses. Prosperity in the Great Northwest. From The Seattle Republican. The AFL-CIO and Pierce county gave their first banquet last Tuesday evening, Lincoln's birthday. Covers for fifty guests were laid out on the floor, and the League was but recently organized and starts out under most apoplocle circumstance, with officers, vice-president,erman, renee Sledge, secretary, and H. P. Lawn, treasurer. Kevin would seem to indicate that the AFL-Americans of Tacoma are in a most prosperous condition. Many of them are purchasing real estate, which will in turn increase their earnings and nothing in so indicative of prosperity as-the purchasing of real estate. Agree With Advice of "The Age." "We very much wish that a larger number of our people could see their way clear to devote a large part of their time and effort to their immediate communities, instead of devoting so much time and strength to the discussion of National affairs. There is a need to trade labor and school affairs. After we have trained ourselves effectively in local affairs, we shall be in a better position to handle National affairs. We will work with you. Your Your Your. and we agree with it in toto. We would wish very much that we had more such advice like this. Each community has its own way of helping to help alleviate conditions and solve them. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1907. Third Sea of William Leopold Gunnison For Forty-seven Years Editor of the "Wildlife"—A Bindinged Library Tome Wendell Phillips Garrison, who was for forty-one years editor of the New York Motion, died at Dr. Ruyen's sonal tarium, South Orange, N. J., recently after several months of declining health. Mr. Garrison, who was the third of William Lloyd Garrison and his albanian born in Quambridgeville, Mass., June 4, 1949, and passed an eventful boyhood in the paternal house, which was so drawn into the agitation of the anti-dairy struggle and the events leading up to the Civil War. Entering Harding's 1877, Mr. Garrison was graduated in 1881, after his vocation teaching and tutoring, entered journalism, his first employment being in January, 1884, with the New York independent. In July, 1885, he became associated with Edwin Lawrence Godkin in founding the Nation, a journal devoted to the event of the Longfellow, Lowell, Whitehill, John Dickinson, and Elie Bler of Trinity College, Dr. Frank Lieser, Henry James and Henry James, Jr., Professor Francis J. Childs, Professor Charles Eliot Norton, William Lloyd Garrison, Rayard Tayler, William Brooks, Daniel Gilmant and many others of the National Geographic Society, or of Charles Eliot Norton, and or of Gilmant, who still survive, have been constant contributors. Mr. Garrison worked in connection with the literary side of the new weekly, and early assumed the bureaucratic war in its general management, the National Geographic Society, more to editorial writing. It fell to Mr. Garrison's lot to draw together a staff of reviewers and contributors which speedily comprised the leading men of letters and science in this country and in Europe. With many of those Mr. Garrison contributed to its general management, the course of which the editorial connection often became that of warm personal friendship. This was clearly evidenced on July 6, 1905, when more than two hundred of the Nation's staff contributors presented him with a silver vase of great beauty and dignity. Mr. Garrison recognized of "forty years of age, upright, and truly patriotic work in the editorship of the Nation." The accompanying congratulatory note signed by the donor assured Mr. Garrison that he had made "the Nation for more than a generation to be the chief literary journal of the nation," and the mouthpiece of high intellectual ideals. During all that long period there were very few issues of the Nation which he did not personally make up and see through the press, reading all the proofs, the letters, the articles, each volume, and doing a vast amount of editorial labor to the end of maintaining the paper's high standard of scholarly accuracy and typographical excellence, and all the while he maintained an immeasurable rapport with his contributor and other with his personal touch that was keenly appreciated by them. It is doubtful if his forty-one years of unremitting literary labor have been paralleled in the history of American periodical editorship. He also reiterated his views on slavery and to the lives and works of Jean Jacques Rousseau and Erasmus, upon whom he wrote with authority. A lengthy review from his pen of the best book on Rousseau appeared in *Nation of Success* 7, 1908, and one on Erasmus in the issue of January 24. For the first sixteen years the Nation was an independent property. In 1881 it was combined with the New York Evening Post by Mr. Henry Villard, Mr. Garrison's brother-in-law, Godkin Jr. and his brother-in-law White. Mr. Schurz, one of the editors of the Evening Post, and within two years editor-in-chief. Under the new arrangement, Mr. Garrison became literary editor of the Evening Post and editor-in-charge of the Nation. This position he held until his retirement on June 28, 1906, because of a rapid failure of his health, after forty-two years of association with the Nation. Mr. Garrison's editorial duties confined him so closely to his office—he took only one real vacation in twenty-two years—that he had but little leisure for other literary work. But in the "Life of William Lloyd Garrison," an elaborate fourvolume biography in which he and his wife had but little leisure for other laborized, he has left a record of his father's activity in behalf of the emancipation of the slave and many other reforms, which must remain the standard history of the abolition movement. To this monumental task Mr. Garrison devoted his spare hours during ten years, timing again at the age of twenty-one for the literary research and writing, and producing a work that is notable among biographies for its wealth of citations, its scrupulous references to authorities, its fairness and candor, and the literary skill with which history and biography are combined. The first two volumes appeared in 1852, and the other in 1858, to his interest this task, Mr. Garrison published "What Mr. Saw on His Voyage around the World," containing extracts from Mr. Dearrow's own story, intended for youthful readers. A collection of "Bedside诗歌," for the instruction of children was also compiled by him, while some of his own verse was private published in the "The New Gulliver" and "Farnables for School and Home" were other of Mr. Garrison's published works. In 1854, appeared the "Memoirs of Henry Villard," the autobiography of his brother-in-law, the editing of which was done by Mr. Garrison. As an appreciative friend of Mr. Garrison, he Harvard University bestowed upon Mr. Garrison the honorary degree of A. M in 1855. Mr. Garrison had resided since 1856 at Llewellyn Park, Orange, N. J. He served for more than seventeen years on the school board of West Orange, and also was for years a member of the State Geological Survey of New Jersey. He was twice married, first to Lucy McKim of Philadelphia, daughter of J. Miller McKim, one of the founders of the American Anti-Slavery Society, and sister of Charles F. McKim, the architect. His second wife was Mrs. Anne McKim and his wife was Mrs. John McKim, married by a son and daughter, Mr. Philip McKim Garrison of Orange, N. J, and Mrs. Charles Dyer Norton of Lake Forest, Ill. Another son, Lloyd McKim Garrison, died in 1900. DIED Johnson—Fred. S. Johnson, died, on February 20, 1907, at his late life, surrounded by his family and friends. Deceased was born in this city about 46 years ago, and lived here all his life. He was well known in humiliation and politicism in the U. S. Custum Service, where for ten years he held an enviable record. He was Bronx, assisted by Rev. Fernandez, officer of the Custum Service, were held at St. Mark's M. E. church February 22, 1907, after which the body was interred. He is survived by a widow, Ginther, two sisters and two brothers. Mrs. Johnson takes this opportunity to remember her sister and doctor Mr. Johnson's illness and death.

There is considerable discussion going on over the recent accomplishment of Mr. Charles W. Anderson, United States In- formal collector, sold city, on account of his party co-workers and two of his party co-workers over the "dead line" formerly maintained in two of the government departments; one in the Post- office department and another in the Immigration Bureau at Ellis Island.

Several, weeks ago it was announced that the President would appoint Ralph LW. Tyler of Columbus to be Burreyor of the Port for Ciacinnati, in revenge for the trouble which Senator Foraker had gives! him im the Brownsville affair. If the ‘President hed made the appointment, in- stead of announcing’ his parpose to do #0, be would have loaded himself with enough revenge to have lasted, him to the ead of bis term. It would have been revenge of the sort that would have made him tired twenty-four hours of each day, but which we would bave rejoiced in an equal num- ber of boars of each day, for if there is ‘a place In the Republic where such re veage bs more needed than Cincinnati it In ‘tot ‘represented on our political map. Normally Cincinnati cannot be carried by the Republicans withoot the vote af: the large Afro-American electorate, but: for some reason this vote dosn't get much, consideration in the distribution of party bonore and emoluments. The white rascals insist upon gobbling up every- thing. Why this Afro-American vote does not get a move on It and act with some independence is a matter which the Hamilton. county politicians understand so well that they do not bother about It. They proceed on the wise theory that at any men or body of men whe will stack up year after year a decisive’ batch of votes for no booorable consideration do not need to have good things wasted oa them. They think tbat they are so many putty voters in politice—the same sort we have in New York. And as long as there are such dumb beads in Cincin- nati and New York no sort.of revenge that selfish politicians may take upon them will be regarded as otber than the operation of natural law, made and pro- vided for such cases, | Bat, baving failed in bis efforts to use Mr. Tyler as an Instrument of revenge, Preeident Roosevelt is obligated to give him a position not below the dignity of the one for which be was originally met: tioned. That ta the usual course, we be- lieve, Im sock slip-opa. ‘And why did President Roosevelt slip ap in the appointment of Mr. ‘Tyler to be Surveyor of the Port of Cinclanati? The announcement did it. As soon as It was announced all of the-influence that the white politicians of Hamilton county have was leveled at the President In protest. Most of it, we understand, was sent through Congressman Nicholas’ Loos worth, the President's sou-tn-law, whose Congress district is In Cincinnati. It is said that be was told very plainly that if he allowed the appointment to be made it would end his public career. Perbaps. Having done what he could to prevent the appointment we suppose the Afro-Amert- cans of bis district will do what they can (0 prolong Mr. Longworth’s career an & staterman. That is the way they usually acted In the past. : But what has become of President Roosevelt's [ron jaw? It bas passed Into A political axiom that when be abute his jaw nothing can pry it open, Te is abat for Keeps. In thin Instance be bas al- lowed hia jaw to be pried open and to do not what he had decided to do, but what Senator Foraker wanted bim to do. From hin point of view the incident Is of pe- ‘line interent.

Boron Only School for Southern Education Remembered by the Great Anti-Slavery Leader—Wore the Extraordinary Deliverances of President Elliot and Bishop Lawrence Premeditated—Separation of Roe in Education a Stigma—Lame Statement of His Case by President Frost of Boron. From The New York Breaking Post. Whether by consorted action or not, the expressed approval by President Elliot and Bishop Lawrence of race separation in schools where large Negro populations exist—made at the recent luncheon given in Boston, in the interest of Boron College—the utterances have a premeditated appearance. Invitations were issued to friends of the work announcing; among other speakers, the above named gentlemen and President Frost. That the words spoken on that occasion should grieve and wound the colored people of the State and country is not surprising. The Rev. William Goodell Frost, the grandson and nameake of a noted early abolition leader, is the president of Beres College. He was in Boston in behalf of that institution, and the rooms of the Twentieth Century Club were chosen for the experience. The college was supported with anti-slavery sentiment. John G. Fee, a man of martyr spirit, and N. N. Fairchild, the latter for many years its faithful president, started the enterprise in poverty and under bitter discouragements, but never relaxed their compromising principles concerning human rights. Neither race nor sex distinctions were recognized by them. Black and white, male and female, were welcomed on the same footing to the education offered, and for years the college sturdily maintained its high ideals. No difficulty was experienced in the working of the plan. The artificial nature of the objections to such co-education was demonstrated in this exceptional Southern school. Because of the success and their prejudice, and of the universal spirit of the founders, William Lloyd Harrison chose Beres for the single best for Southern education that it was in his power to make. In time the original management passed away and the new president, conspicuous for qualities demanded, was entrusted with the helm. The confidence of former friends was, extended to the newcomer, and for the first years the radical traditions of Berea were maintained. Gradually, murmurs of dissatisfaction from the colored people of the neighborhood reached the North. Complaint was made that the proportion of colored students was gradually but persistently reduced, and the white mountaineers given preference of admission. This grievance was plausibly explained by President Frost on his recurrent visit, and assurance was forthcoming that the policy of the founders should be preserved. Yet the process of relacing black with white institutions continued. At last came the proposal to prohibit by statute law co-education of the races, and legal measures were taken to oppose this consummation. Subscriptions for expenses were solicited by President Frost on the North, and presumably used for the purpose, but hostile legislation triumphed, and the colored students were distributed among other institutions. If all this were unavoidable and resisted to the last, in the spirit of the men who built up Beren College, no criticism would be called for. Nevertheless, contrary opinions come to the friends of the school from various sources - opinions shared by intelligent colored people of North. It is affirmed in private letters and in the editorial columns of Northern organs of the colored race that insufficient effort was made to bloom the law of separation, and that the result is a separate school building for excluded colored students outside the college limits is proposed, and contributions are asked for this object. Before responding to this appeal, especially since the sentiment uttered by President Eliot, and received with tacit approval at the Boston lunch, it would be well for all concerned if the real condition of Bera, in its relation to Negro education, were made clear to the public, both sides submitting evidence on points at issue. As the case stands, a large educational plant created chiefly by the monkey of Northern friends of the colored race is now controlled exclusively in the interests of white education. It is true that the donors agreed to the intent of the monkey to guard the impartial exclusion of whites, but the primary motive of the institution's founders was the uplifting of the colored children of former slaves. 1 If a division had to be made, the colored students should have remained and new quarters have been sought for the white ones. The reasons are adequate. More now, than at the inception of the college, the colored people of the South need special help. The anothered pro-slavery feeling has revived, and adds increasing obstacles for Free Black students. Bittersees are meeting the race at every point. The industrial South is growing in wealth, and has little excuse for neglecting the education of its white children, however careless it may be of its black. It is proverbial that, while taxes are taken from the colored people for general uses, their expenditure for public schools discriminates against the colored schools. It seems but just that as the Kentucky law devises the separation of the students, the white ones should be given the new quarters. But President Grover Cleveland, that is now a white institution, and that, if it is to assume the education of colored youth, another and separate fund must be raised. The apprehensions concerning the changed nature of the college, felt before the State's action was anticipated, were seemingly not ungrounded. Rather they were confirmed by the significant attitude of President Eliot and Bishop Lawrence at the Boston lunch. Imagine John G. Fee present in the flesh when this humiliating concession to the hateful spirit of caste found voice. It would have been a memorable scene, no silent acquiescence. But the grandson of William Goodell betrayed no evil of the institution, to the institution, dedicated to equal lights by its founders, should stand untenanted than flourish as a monument to subservience. And pitiable it is that the announcement of its surrender should have been proclaimed without protest in the city where the abolition movement was born. Fair warning is given that future equal educational rights in Massachusetts may be abused, if the colored population is unduly increased. "To this complication has it come at last." The light of institutional learning must first determine the applicant's color, before undertaking to illuminate his darkened mind. As Lowell put it, the test may be "an accidental difference in the secreting vessels of the skin that would seem ridiculous to a German count, who had earned his title by the valid consideration of thirty-six dollars." would be interesting to know how "bad line" will be drawn when the rate of separation arrives. Will race be the test? What if the so betray the race? Is the of Nemo blood, which in tainted enough to taint viewed at Har- word? If so, in the line one of caste or race? If so, how long before new distinctions will start out other unfortunate people? Or must logic timely courtesy to prejudice? Then every nationality with which this continent is swarming must submit to a degrading discrimination when popular passion or politics demands it. To-day, it is the Negro and Chamae and the Negro and Chamae, the very one that brought the Muslanian empire to defeat is to be placed in the same parish claim. President Elliot knows that the exclusion of any person or race from advantages open to American citizens, and those of favored nations, inevitably puts a stigma upon the excluded. It is adding weights to those already weighted too heavily, closing not only the doors of the best schools, but equal access to the wider school of the industrial world. One follows the other, as the day the night. Is Angio-Saron blood so thin that it needs protection, fearing competition with impoverished students? Is this sudden recurrence of the slave-bolding spirit also the result of a tempering attitude that postpones the settlement of principles until the elemental forces show their destructive hand? Whatever the justification offered for this surrender, the issue cannot be too quickly joined. It is to be met at the outset and fought unceasingly. Bar colore children, as it is suggested, and the polygloxia pupil of the mother. Mr. Maupininus should teach brotherhood, would be infected with the spirit of casts. The moment a single colored school is established in the commonwealth, the old context will arise, and it is the prejudice and not the State that will eventually succumb. We shall not go back to the type of the Smith (colored) school in Boston without a struggle, even though Bishop Lawrence's denomination shall again mutilate its prayer-book to erase the kneeling figure of the Negro, in the picture of Ary Scheffer's "Christus Conspirator." The dear Christ hidden from his kindred fool. And-in his poor ones, crucified afresh! WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON. Boston, February 25. FROST REPLIES TO GARRISON. Some History in the Case of General Interest. The Law of Separation Interest—The Law of Separation Your issue of February 28 contains an article on "Race Separation at Berea," from the pen of William Lloyd Garrison. It expresses questionings regarding Berea College, which probably exist in many minds, and makes some statement from myself fitting and necessary. My grandfather, William Goodell, was the third member of the committee which drafted the address of the first anti-slavery convention at Philadelphia, 1838, the others being Whittier and Garrison. It has fallen to me to undertake the practical outworking of the principles of freedom on the old soil of slavery. I am now entering upon my fifteenth year as head of Beren College: While I have been permitted to see some large successes, I am deeply disappointed at the necessity of now yielding to what seems to me the perverse and unreasonable sentiment of prevailing Southern elements. Whether this is a real necessity, whether I might have played any part more wisely, time may call Mr. Garrison questioning the wisdom of my policy, and that I must trustees, and even some time upon our motives. I wish to reply in the spirit of conciliation and respect, for the good opinion and confidence of Mr. Garrison and the people whom he represents are very dear to me. Berea was founded by John' G. Fee and John A. R. Rogers in 1858, among Southern abolitionists, but they did not then consider it wise to admit colored pupils. There was no law to prevent it, but it did not seem best to antagonise prevailing sentiment at that time. Ten years later, when the great triumph of emancipation and the downfall of the Confederacy paved the way, colored students were admitted on equal terms, and they continued to attend freely for nearly forty years. I went to Berea at some personal sacrifice, for two reasons: (1) Because I believed in placing character above race, and thought that the object lesson of the two races united in educational pursuits, without scandal or collusion, would be of large moral value to the nation; and (2) because it seemed to me that the largest hope for a "new South" lay in affording educational opportunities to the people of the Southern mountains—people who At the time of my accession the school had long been without effective management, and the white students had largely fallen off. It was my immediate endeavor to increase the attendance of white students. The degree of prejudice was measured by the increase of white students until the proportion between white and colored students was about the same as between white and colored people in the State at large. And here, must be divulged the fact that in discontinuing the services of an employee of the college, who immediately began work for an institution which has posed as a rival, we made a bitter and inscrumpulous enemy. This enemy accused myself and the faculty of a desire to "freeze out" the colored students, stirred up the suspicions of the colored people, and even placed emissaries on the trains to dissuade colored students from attending Berena. It is from this source that Mr. Garrison draws some of his misinformation. It is true that through the activity of our enemy the number of colored students diminished for a time, but the number had been steadily increasing for some years, and there were nearly 200 colored students out of a total of some 190 when the new law went into effect. There was never a time when our colored students were more happy, and in all ways promising, than when the law came. This law was resisted to the uttermost. All other "mixed" schools in the South had been, one by one, given up. Two years before, when a similar law was passed in Tennessee, we were able to stilthe proposition in the Kentucky Legislature. But at last the bill was introduced, and could not be stilted. Our trustees and faculty entered their solonn protest, over their individual signatures, which I took to the State capital, and presented with the best pleas I could make. But the State was controlled, not by its mountain end, or by its educational and commercial forces, but by a set of unworthy politicians. Some of the best men in the Legislature came to me by night, expressing their disgust at the law, but explaining that they could only maneuver to keep it from coming to a vote, but that if it did come to a vote, they must vote for it, on pain of everlasting retirement from politics! When enacted the law had to be obeyed, for it laid penalties upon students as well as teachers. Mr. Garrison suggests that we might have kept the colored students in Berea, and sent away the white. This was carefully considered, and these facts appeared; such a separation would destroy the "mixed" feature of the school, and be a yielding to the spirit of caste as much as the other. The white students, were more numerous, they had not worked the law, and they considered the new procedure in the Court which must be taken care of, and there was no other school which could receive them and meet their peculiar needs. On the other hand, the colored students could find favorable conditions in other schools, and if a new establishment should become necessary a more advantageous location could be THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1907. found nearer the center of the colored population.

Handicome Apartments with all improvements at Moderate Rentals in I permit me to quote, at a few paragraphs from my remarks at the Boston luncheon. After listening to all counsels, our trustees decide that the only course is to waive our rights, "turn the other cheek," and undertake the extra burden of a separate provision for our colored students. We expect to have this law set aside by the courts, but it now seems likely to be upon technical grounds, which will allow us to maintain the simple fact that our region is controlled by the solid South, and this solid South cannot now understand our position. The better Southerners are so sounded by it, and the fanatical elements are so well able to harass us, law or no law, that we must "stoop to conquer," and walt for the slower processes of enlightenment. But, mark you, we expect to conquer still. The Scripture motto selected by Fee and Rogers stands forever, "God hath made of one blood all nations of men. We shall yet see the Negro made into all that is desirable for good citi- tion, and that is the right replacing in it. Beres may have been too far ahead of the times, but if we back our horses, it is to put the plowhare in more deeply. All honor is due to the brave and noble white people of the South who are now standing up for Negro education. By making this concession, we make it easier for them to fight their hard battles, and we shall lead many more to join their ranks. It is upon the white people of the South that we must rely for that final effort which shall adjust Southern society to the new basis of freedom. Since we must assume the burden of a separate school for our colored neighbors we will try to make it a good one, planned in the light of experience, and sympathetically adapted to its purpose. With a separate establishment and central location, we shall reach a larger number of colored students than ever. Our colored graduates, though grieved at the separation, are impatient to see the new school begun. Exactly what Berea owes the colored people in money could hardly be known. There are no legal restrictions upon our funds. But the moral obligation is a sacred one; we must give of our means and energies for the colored people, as wisdom dictates through changing circumstances, so as to fulfil the intent of founders and doers of our school instead of pursuing a valin inquiry as to what special funds, or what proportion of all our funds, might be equity belong to this one class of our clients, we put the matter on a higher plane and inquire, what do the colored people of our State need? We shall endeavor to secure widest co-operation, and provide as nearly as we can what they need. To meet the first distress we set apart enough money out of our income to send one hundred colored students to Fisk University, Knoxville College, Hampton, and other good schools. It is a terrible drain upon our resources, already involving us somewhat in debt, but it was the only thing which could be done. But now we must consider something more permanent. We closed the college of Kentucky have no rallying place properly equipped for their educational guidance. They are actually more destitute than the colored people of any other Southern State. The main portion of my speech, as of the speeches of President Eliot and Bishop Lawrence, was taken up by a vindication of the Negro's right and claim to a chance for education. The newspaper reports have quite shifted the emphasis, if they have not actually misquoted all. Speaking for myself, I would give my life to see Borea restored to its former condition with the reasonable cooperation and the appropriate speakers all rejoice in seeing character placed above the accident of birth. I simply understood them as giving Borea such comfort as they could in meeting its great disappointment. The world—our part of it—is not ready for our testimony yet. We must undertake the longer and slower way. And we must make the best of it. Whatever advantages there are in a separate school for children of a common ancestry and history we must avail ourselves of most fully. We do feel the special need of the Negro just at the present time. And all of us are pledged to live in his behalf. And even in this temporary home we see joy of hope. Let us here again. "We expect to see the Negro made into all that is desirable for a good citizen, and we shall see his white neighbor rejoicing in it." In this endeavor may we not have Mr. Garrison's good wishes and support? WILLIAM GOODLEF FROST. New York. February 28. SOUTHERN LABOR. What Some Alabama Legislators Think of Foreign Labor. From The New York Evening Post. There was a marked difference of opinion in the recent debate in the Alabama Legislature as to the advisability of encouraging foreign immigration to that State. The bill before the House of Representatives called for an appropriation of ten thousand dollars to create a State Immigration Bureau, and it was easily defeated. After four speakers had urged that Alabama in this way follow a sample of South Carolina and thereby add the property of the State while no solving the Negro problem, the opposition made itself heard. A Mr. Hoffman declared that the common people were not demanding the bill, and that no "dagoes were needed to work the plantations of Alabama." There was quite enough labor to go round. Mr. Pitts of Dallas, favored the bill, but he had "no sympathy with the wholesale denunciation of Negroes, good and bad." Mr. Killen of Lauderdale, was wise in his generation. The heat way to attract immigrants, he said, was by "building up the schools, improving the roads, and things of that kind." He did not want "the scum of European countries, and rather than see Alabama turned over to that he would leave the State." He did not desire the Negro to leave, and he wished his anditors that "a nigger and Dutchman never could get along together." Mr. Rowe of Madison, did not want foreign labor on his farm, for it would be difficult to secure a better workman that the Negro, who is, he declared, "the truest friend my own people could have." As for the bad Negro, he is bad. Mr. Rowe, because of the "gambling hells and low dives of the white man." Thus was the truth blurted right in meeting. The Undertakers in Charleston. From The Charleston Messenger. Charleston is blessed with undertakers from the Historic Charleston Primitives, Rev. J. A. Roblin and A. Sons. Harslett & Mickel, have and are forming a consignments place in the hearts of the people in depositing the dead. No just complaint has ever been brought against these gentlemen to our knowledge for any neglect in performing their duties. The hustlers, the Fingers and the Hand out-very good inducements to all who are willing to putonise them, and have declared that they intend putting upon the market every variety needed. And still there are other undertakers in this city who are entitled to the patronage of the King's undertakers. He who is most polite and courteous, wiling and accommodating in his manner, will do the greatest bulk in the bedroom. ELEGANT FLATS To Let.

Bismuth One of Five Delegates of International Committee of Young Martha Christian Association Colored Marth's Department. The International Committee of the Young Men's Christian Associations, of North America, has chosen Mr. W. A. Baldwin, the President of the Men's Department, one of the five delegates from this Continent that will attend the seventh biennial conference of the World's Student Christian Federation, which is its organization-wide in its efforts to 500 delegates are to attend from all over the world, and for the first time in the history of the church the Christian forces in all parts of Asia will be represented in the Kingdom, not only in the Western Hemisphere but also in the Eastern, this is X. A. HETTER destined to be one of the most significant involving the progress of the Christian Church The place of meeting, Tokio, is especially strategic because of Japan's leadership in the Orient. Her leadership in military and naval affairs has been amply demonstrated in the late Chino-Japanese and Rumo-Japanese wars, and the intellectual field is rapidly being recognized. In about six years the number of Chinese students in Japan has grown by leaps and bounds from less than fifty to more than 15,000. Formerly students from India went principally to Europe, making Oxford and Cambridge their headquarters. Now they Empire than in Europe, and Tokio is the rallying ground, Japanese leadership, then, in religious matters is almost a foregone conclusion. This Conference will go far toward deciding that it is to be to Christ instead of Buddha; to the ideals of Christian living rather than the many philosophies of Oriental religions. Japan in the key country for the coming of Christ in the Orient. The International Committee is to be congratulated upon the selection of Mr. Hunton to represent the work among colored men. He has given eighty years of his life to our young men in the country, and he is able in closer touch with the best and noblest in all our life than any man that could be secured. He is the logical candidate. His qualities as a Christian gentleman, his ability in his chosen work, no less than his wide observation and large experience make him especially fit for the position. Born at Chatham, Canada, in 1864, he was known from boyhood an one great promise for the cause of truth, right and goodness. He was early competent to enter His Majesty's Civil Service and was promoted, when hardly more than a lady to a clerk's position in the Department of Justice, to the Ottawa Y. M. C. A., he received the training that made him the man sought when a secretary was wanted for the Norfolk, Va., Association for colored men. After three years of nursing this association through its infancy, he was called to succeed Mr. Henry E. Brown, then, as secretary of Colored Men's Department of the International Committee. Mr. Hunton represents that type of efficient young men among us who are responding to the call of the church for service and leadership. His large vision, zealous proficiency and untiring effort are attested by the fact that the Colored Men's Department has developed under his care from a few strangely organized men most of whom are training, until to-day 36 cities have Associations, with a membership exceeding 4,000; 21 associations have local secretaries; the total property valuation in buildings is over $150,000. Ninety student organizations in as many institutions for colored youth have a membership above 6,000, and touch in their activities over 12,000 young men. Two other International Secretaries, Mr. J. Washington, D. C., and Mr. George E. Haynes, of Arkansas, are associated with him. It is of more than academic concern that a representative of "Africa in America and Africa beyond the Sea" is to attend this world conference that will discuss questions relative to universal values and the weight with Christian forces entered there that such a descendant of Africans will stand in their midst as a living and indisputable argument that under the influence of Christ and the opportunities of Christian surroundings Africans and their descendants are capable of the high mental health that is required in a member's face which the world is gradually being constrained to acknowledge Mr. Hunton will sail from San Francisco this week. After the Conference in Tokio, he will be a member of one of the evangelistic delegations that will tour the Empire. The first week in May he will attend the China Centenary Conference in Beijing, China. Returning he will probably touch at the Philippine Islands and get home during the coming summer. The Federation had its birth in Sweden in 1896. It now embraces eleven different movements similar to the Association Movement of North America, some including only one country, the German Christian Students' Alliance, which is similar to such an the Norwegian, Danish, Swedish and Finnish national organizations that are entered in the Scandinavian University Christian Movement. Former conferences have been held in Williamstown, U. S. A.; Eisenbach, Germany; Versailles, France; Boro, Denmark; and Zeist, Holland. Segregation Bill in Arkansas Legislature: From the Fort Smith, Fresnel Union From the Fort Smith Fraternal Union. The segregation bill has been revived again in the Arkansas legislature. This is the first time that could be brought forth. The argument of the exponents of this measure are purely academic. The truth of the matter is that the legislature has hired-headed monster, race prejudice, With Arkansas just entering on a period of expansion and commercial development never before known in its history, we believe that the legislature has been of the legislature to congenit it to the grave. There is no class of the state population more interested in her welfare and公益 than the legislature is for the state's progress the colored brother in ready to put his shoulder to the wheel and push her along.

Bell's Address on "The American and the West Indian"—Other Brunh. News. A most encouraging meeting of the members of the Young Men's Christian Association was held at the M. A. M. Church Tuesday, February 25, at which many plans were made for the betterment of the work, and committees appointed to carry them out. On Friday evening, March 1, the young men entertained their lady friends, all who attended having a good time. The association hall was crowded with men on Sunday afternoon last when a good program was rendered. Mr. J. J. Pierce, recently returned from South Africa, and Mr. W. F. Ober of the International Committee, who was to have spoken, failing to appear on account of illness, Secretry T. J. Bell delivered a short address on "The Americenter," and the remarks were based upon the thought expressed by St. Paul on Mars Hill, in Athens, in which he stated that God had "made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on the face of the earth." Mr. Bell characterised as mischievous and unfortunate food for the victims of many of the people from the West Indies toward their fellow-Americans in their silly assumption of superiority over the latter by accident of birth and nationality, and denounced the retaliatory actions of man American colored people toward their West Indian brothers. "Neither of you has any right," said he, "nor can you ever afford to adopt a hostile attitude toward the other. It matters not where you come from—whether from George or Virginia, whether from Illinois or Texas or New Hampshire, Jamaica or the Barbados, Martinique or South America—all of you are one race and one people. As such you are considered, and as such you must dive and die. The West Indian who, mistakenly, assumes the attitude of his country toward Negroes, looks with contempt upon his American brother whom he considers cowardly and servile, is, in my opinion, a very sorry specimen of a man. The American who withholds his friendship from his West Indian brother, assumes the attitude of his greater American accent or for other reasons equally superficial, or because of the immeasurably superior opportunities afforded by this country over those of the ruined and decayed aristocracies of the British post-World War II era, other Americans should be ashamed. The beasted British blood of the West Indian will do him little good in time of peril. The mob will chase him, and stone him, and kill him as quickly as it will an American, and other hand, stand in the estimation of the white races of the world than does the West Indian Negro. "No man likes oppression, nor yields willingly to unjust or illegal restrictions upon his rights. But neither racial prejudices nor legal statutes unconstitutionally enacted or unquonly administered or enforced can long date men from their homeland to their homeland, bearing opposition and discriminations, and seeking those portions of the world that hold out to them the best opportunities for a decent living. Therefore I never feel so proud of my country, with all its hindrances and prejudices, as when I see men from Europe, and Asia, and all the islands of the sea—men black men white men black men black men all making their way to these shores. It makes me feel that there must be something here, and I begin to look around to see what it is. Most of all, I am glad to see the Negroes come, for I feel that they have more to gain than any of the other races. They may have different views on the government, due in large measure to the environment in which they were born, but two generations shall not have passed before they all, mingling with their American brothers and their American brothers mingling with them—the two laboring and toiling and suffering together in the same government. Be brave. Be young men, broad in your views and your sympathies. Let no narrow thought or feeling find a lodging place in your heart. "In closing I can do nothing better than to quote to you the closing admonition of 'The Ancient Mariner' to the wedding guest. The old mariner had passed through the town and was told the bird of Fate, the recollection of that act never departed from his mind. Anxious and restless, and finding no peace, he stopped the wedding guest as he was about to enter the gate of his friend who way to married. Drawing near to him the minister closed his burning story with these words: "Farewell, farewell, but this I tell Theo, the O Wedding Guest; He prayeth best who loveth best Both man, and bird, and beast. "He prayeth best who loveth best All things, both great and small; For the greatest of men na He made and loveth all. "Go home, then, young men, and learn if you have loveth best before the great doctrine of the fatherhood of God and the universal brotherhood of men."

Mortaligo Dec. 6-9 m. Norfolk, Va., March 4.—Norfolk, the largest shipping port in the Southeastern States, with its fine harbor, many large mills, factories, navy yard, fishing and truck farming industries, shipping port for numerous railroads from different sections of the country and the coal fields of West Virginia, has a strong tendency to draw to this city a large number of Afro-Americans from other States of the South. Wages are sufficient to allow the farm hand to invest his earnings in acres of the fertile farm lands in this section, and Afro-American wake-earners that are thrifty and saving will not find this a city difficult in which to make material progress. The ministry has been an important factor in Afro-Americans' success in the business of this city. Dr. L. H. Reynolda, pastor of John M. Brown A. M. E. church, a man inspired by high ideals and strong morally, intellectually and physically, has served his people successfully in the States of Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, Texas. Louisiana and Virginia, and is wielding strong influences over Afro-Americans for material advancement. He has proven himself adequate to the demands of the Afro-American population a seaport town generally catches and has planted himself in the hearts of the common laborer and all classes of Afro-American citizens of this and other communities where he has resided, which has helped to create in this community an BUSINESS LEAGUE MOVEMENT IN NEW YORK CITY NOW League Organized nt. Atlantic City—General Interest in the Work. In the visits made to the different localities in the effort to get local business leagues established and persuade the people to participate, it is pleasing to note the cordiality and willing co-operation of the plain people and the degree of interest manifested by them. The number of business enterprises have increased and are more diverse. The people giving support and enabling business men and women to give employment to their own. More pride is being taken in making the stores attractive, and the owners and employees more attractive, and the people more men. In one city you see a combination store, groceries on one side and shoes on the other; another, shoes and millinery; another, a half-dosen grocery stores, in other places groceries and School girls who have and are now taking manual training in the public schools are establishing little stores, in their homes; in Baltimore five such were established in 1980, and windows would do credit to the first class establishments. The Business League, is entitled to much of the credit along the lines of stimulating and encouraging the people to co-operate on behalf of all the organizations in the larger number of instances active, holding meetings wherein are discussed business methods and improvements, the wisdom of starting new enterprises and how to bring them to the market, the leading white business men are invited and usually accept invitations to speak. In this way an opportunity is given them to see and hear interesting things that they would not otherwise. They learn at first what they are interested in every wise movement that is helpful to his community, and it is becoming more and more apparent that the things that the National Negro Business Association and businesses, are the things most necessary in the betterment of conditions and solving the problem. We are at last confronted with the cold fact that we must build up ourselves. We must make our business and businesses, are the things most necessary in the betterment of conditions and solving the problem. We are at last confronted with the cold fact that we must build up ourselves. We must make our business and businesses, are the things most necessary in the betterment of conditions and solving the problem. We must emulate the Anglo-Saxon, build up your people first. Make yourself financially strong, then you can compete with other businesses, and then you can note that this is now being done. A local league was organized at Atlantic City last Monday night, and by unanimous vote a charter in the National Negro Business League was as active as the business enterprise and enthusiastic and have promised that the league shall be active in the work of promoting business enterprises and will forthwith axitate the starting of a show store. The ladies have promised to start a business company. The local league of New York city held an enthusiastic meeting at the Hotel Macoe Friday evening, and after routine business proceeded to elect officers. Mr. Philip A. Ayton, Jr., of the Afro-American League, was president; Mr. J H. Atkins of the Metropolitan Realty Company, was elected vice-president. The other officers are William Russell Johnson, recording secretary; D. A. Willis, corresponding secretary; Dr. P. R. Roberts, treasurer. The next meeting of the league will be held at the Macoe Friday, March 15, at which time arrangements will be made for a mass meeting. The meeting will be held at Union Baptist church, of which Rev. S. H. Sima is the pastor, FRED. R. MOORE, Organizer. Wedding and Birth Anniversary Kingaton Notes. Master Frederick Gavin entertained a number of his young friends in his real life.

Describing Lincoln's first inauguration in his "Reminiscences" in the March McClure's, Carl Schurz says: "I was favored with a place in front of the great portico of the Capitol from which I could distinctly see and hear every part of the official function. I saw Lincoln step forward to the desk upon which the Bible day—his rugged face, appearing above-all those surrounding him, calm and sad, but still so strong that he could assemble that one might well have doubted how he and the others could work together. I saw Senator. Douglas, his debted antagonist, the 'little giant' of the pant, who only two years before had haughtly treated Lincoln like a tall dwarf, standered, markedlyScene when Lincoln, about to deliver his inaugural address, could not at once find a convenient place for his hat, and Douglas took it and held it like an attendant while Lincoln was speaking. I saw the withered form of Chief Justice John Dred Scott, decision, that Judicial compend of the doctrine of slaying, administer the oath of office to the first President elected on a distinct anti-slavery platform. I saw standing by the outgoing President, James Buchanan, with his ally, alligator, on one end of the table, and his child, cockclock-the man who had done more than any other to degrade and demoralize the National Government and to encourage the rebellion, now destined to retire to an unhonored obscurity and to the dreary task of trying to make the world believe that he was the patriot and statesman than he appeared. "I heard every word pronounced by Abraham Lincoln's kindly voice, of that inaugural address which was to be a message of peace and goodwill, but the reception of which in the South as a proclamation of war showed clearly that no offer of compromise, in the face of the threat of invasion, acceptance of their scheme of an independent slave-holding empire, would have satisfied the Southern leaders." REUBEN S. SMITH. Old Partner of Mr. Fortune Dies After Louis Illiacs. WASHINGTON, March 6.—Mr. Reuben S. Smith, after a lingering sickness covering some years, died at his home, 715 Second street, N.

He then took up law, and while his health hasted was in successful practice and excused many medical and legal duties, he turned circles in Washington. At one time he was a partner with Mr. Fortune and others in the publication of The New York Globe and a successful Washington correspondent.

THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1907. number of our people. Dr. Reynolds for sixteen years has been secretary of the TILLMAN AND RACE STRIFE GO TOUCHER IN THE SOUTH The Twins are Pictured and Surprise Expressed That Any One Wants to Hear Tillman. From The New York Sun. Someone announced in Washington to the effect that the Hon. Ben R. Tillman, senior Senator from South Carolina, had arranged a four-hour country tour, beginning March 4 and continuing until the assembling of Congress next December. We have since heard that Mr. Tillman intends to take the month of June for a program stand as we originally understood. What excited our special wonder, however, was the statement that two of the eight lecture months had been assigned to a Southern circuit chiefly in the States of Georgia and Carolina. We had not before heard of any demand for Mr. Tillman's anti-Negro agitation in that part of the country, and this sudden eruption of a novel appetite extorted from us an expression of protest, purity, surprise, if our memory serves, went so far as to indulge the comment that if such an arrangement had really been made either "respectable public sentiment" in the districts mentioned had undergone radical transformation or incarnation, then it was a sorry and ill-timed leaf. The Sun has just received, what ought to be an authoritative source, the illustrating if highly unwelcome assurance that Senator Tillman has in very truth been invited to address Southern auditor of the Bank of Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina, but also in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, West Virginia, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee. More than that, we have been furnished with a partial indication of the litterary, Mary R. Roosek, Virginia, Portsmouth, Lynchburg, Winchester, Richmond, North Carolina Henderson, Oxford, Pinehurst, Wilmington, West Virginia, Hinton, Huntington, Alabama, Troy, Cottonelle, Louisiana, Clinton, Tennessee, Pulaski, Chattanooga, Troy, Springs, Henderson, Sandwichville, Claxton, Mount, Kentucky, Williamsburg, Somerset, Florida, Jacksonville. It appears, then, that twenty-six out of the many hundreds of cities, towns, villages and miscellaneous communities of the South have invited Senator Tillman to tell them about the wickedness of the Negro. Neither Texas nor Arkansas have invited Senator Lloyd L. Johnson, Florida and Mississippi raise only one voice of invitation each; West Virginia, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee and Maryland only two voices each; while Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia lend the order in the in which we have named them. In fact, the three States represent the total number of the Potomac and Ohio for the Tillman version of the richest question. Flatfield Notes At the Calvary Baptist church Rev. G. W.

Church General Conference. He is laboring seaholy to promote all high threat enterprises owned and managed by Afro-Americanism. The churches' organization by him in this city are valuable inquisitions and proved his financial ability. These churches are in sections that need strong Christian influence, and the results derived therefrom are highly encouraging. Through Dr. Reynolds' persuasion, Norfolk will entertain the next general conference of the A. M. B. church, which will convene during 1980 Dr. Reynolds owns valuable tenements that are a credit to the community. He has been in the pastaste twenty-five years and has become acquainted with every phase of church work and has succeeded in every appointment, and never loses the opportunity to tell our people in no uncertain tone that they must of necessity become producers as well as consumers; do more for themselves and more confidence in those laboring for the general welfare of the race. His unimpachable character, his broad sympathies, his culture, genial manners, his unbounded hospitality, as affable, courteous treatment to all whom he is brought into contact, the humble as well as the high, make him a man to be safely entrusted with authority over men. These qualities make him an indispensable factor to the State of Virginia and the right man for bishop for the A. M. E. Church. The peculiar conditions in this city require men of Dr. Reynolds' calibre to the pulpil if the mass of Afro-Americans of Norfolk are to be reached and taught the power of saving their earnings and co-operating along business lines. In order to get the gospel of "God helps those that help themselves" before the people here, practical talks on business should be had at least twice a month in every Afro-American church in Norfolk. GEORGE F. KING. The Register Also Did Some Speaking While on His Western Trip. WASHINGTON, March 5.—Hon. W. T.

Mim, Childhood an Interesting Chaperon an Optimism and Foundation—The Demonstrate Situation of the Race an, to Law! and Public Opinion Beavily Stated, but the Way Can Not Made So Chang-Shall We Proceed to Build from the Bottom or the Top? OLEVILAND, March 4—"The poorest," sailing the Voyenvian Bay, "listens for the drowned rumblers of the distant mountain—blinded to the wondrous beauties of earth and sky about him. The optimist, floating down the phacid upper stream, pictures to himself an endless panorama of peaceful landscapes, deaf to the thundering Niagara just below him. The more than optimism is that philosophy which faces facts as they are, and courageously interprets their meaning." This quotation, taken from a speech of the Hon. W. H. Fleming of Georgia, which then was circulated by the committee of Tennesseans to cause of its scholarly, frank and, in the main, fair discussion of "Slavery and the Race Problem in the South," by a Southerner), expresses exactly a thought that the present-day Afro-American to pose an optimist; and such a one orally enunciated as a dare deery a cloud on the colored man's horizon, even though it is no bigger than a man's hand. And for the poor creature to whom the whole sky is shaded, he will there is a silver lining turned toward God, there is no mercy—such a one is solemnly and awesomely pronounced a pesimist" in such a tone of condemnation as to leave no possible doubt of his guilt. It is a false philosophy which would teach that by ignoring the cloud we can thus remove it; that to refuse to recognize the condition will in the least degree change it. It is time to call a halt on the foolish Negro-American who in a jaunty, chipper manner assures us that the storms manners or the ordeal are a point of Goduim, humiliating, robbing and crushing us, really amount to nothing after all! I believe that a genuine Negro pessimist would be an anomly. "Hope springs eternal in the human breast" must have been written with the Negro especially minded; the idea of Goduim creatures more highly gifted with the virtue of Hope. But let not our propensity to "hope" blind us to the many grave, serious and imminent perils that surround and beset us. For better understanding of the Negro that is that philosophy which faces facts as they are." I have recently faced some "facts as they are" and here is what I find: The speech above referred to is in a ray of light. I have been told that proches his subject cautiously and with profuse apologies for presenting it, once fairly launched he tells some very plain truths. While calling no names, one clearly recognises the pictures of Dixon, John and the drubbing and thoroughly enjoys the drubbing which he proceeds to give them. I am assured by persons who know, that this speech is a very broad utterance indeed for a Southern white man, and must be very fine for a very fair speech, the average white man make. Of course, in common with all Southerners, he looks upon rape as peculiarly a Negro crime and is also most solicitous about preserving race purity. He also believes in white supremacy. He must be the best man he can be. But he also believes in the right of suffrage for the Negro upon the same conditions as for the whites, declares for the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man to unite their comments upon the law. We must be just as strong for justice to the Negro; not, indeed, for love of a fellow-man, but because he realizes there is no other honorable way possible to treat him. However, we must be just as strong for justice and wherefore." It is sufficient for us that he says, "We cannot afford to sacrifice our ideas of justice of law, of religion, for the purpose of preventing the Negro from elevating himself. If we to be just as strong for justice of our race and in the inward progress of civilization, let us do it by lifting ourselves up, not by holding him down. If as some predict, the Negro in the distant future must fail and fall by the wayside and be forced to give up him let him fall by his own inferiority and not by our tyranny." To this every Negro can heartily say "Amen." It is in fact all that he asks—opportunity and a square deal. This then is a glean of light. A white man in public life to-day who is strong enough to stand and withstand the pressure which is brought to bear against him in any attitude he may take favorable to the Negro. He is simply overwhelmed by the tidal wave of rage hate. To intentions may be never so strong, but the ideas of justice and integrity never so high, and his will to enforce them never so strong, but then he faces the awful, relentless inaccessible wall of color-priorience—when he finds himself alone in a Sahara of race-hate without a single visible oasis, his heart grows faint, his high purposes waver, and he ends by making a fruitless compromise. Let us take the case of President Roosevelt. It is but charity to believe that he was sincere when he advocated a "square deal" and "equal opportunity" and talked grandly of the Door of Hope. But when he began to feel the pressure to prove from that and distrust from the other; when he began dimly to realize that to become a champion of the Negro meant to place oneself on the side of a very unpopular cause, with nothing, save a consciousness of doing right, to be cailed, and on other hands to use of freedom of choice ambitious goals to be endured—when he realized this, he hesitated and was lost to our cause. Thereupon he peremptorily discharged a Negro battalion without honor, and in his annual message made such statements about us as he well knew should die the cars our first enemies, and the condition would have shown him to be altogether unfair. As for our gallant and brave champion, Senator Joseph B. Foraker, to whom he all honor, who has so courageously undertaken to secure justice for the patriots discharged with honor, who has sacrificed himself for the resolution in Congress demanding an investigation of the Brownville affray—has not adverse sentiment been strong enough to compel him to accept an amendment to his resolution, and has it not caused the powerful President of a mighty nation to himself for this act, humiliating and discrediting before his constituents, if possible, the senior Senator from Ohio. And thus the clouds thicken and darken! Meanwhile, we are simply the football of contending forces, the jest of the enemy. This fairly describes the situation when along comes the would-be optimist and cheerily chirp, "Look pleasant, please, and smile." Mrs. Mary Church Turrell truly says, "An well built is one who is burning to death not to acquaint himself with advice in equally armed." Brandy "the son of them" can be manured up thus: "The Negro possesses friends and them do not sit in the steps of the powerful. He be divided in opinion as to the best method of saving his own problems. He, too, is caught in the heat of the food and the misfortune which the American has inquired; and whenever personal gain is placed in the balance with race welfare in nine cases out of ten he makes sure of himself and lets the race go—he immortal birthright, of pottage and his immortal birthright, into the drews of the sun of race-hate. This, of course, is due as much to ignorance as to man's innate selfishness, for he decries himself with the thought that after all the problem is an individual one—that it is his business to look out for self and let every other follow the same. Does he not know that what he would benefit him; and that whatever militates against the humblest of the race works to his detriment? “And courageously interprets their meaning.” The meaning is that we must ourselves be the supreme factors in the upon ourselves and God and this is we know, a majority. First, and chiefly, the thing for which we must strive in this effort at self-self is not gold. If Mrs J. B. Washington be dignified our own person of the N. E. W. start to-morrow on a trip through the South, accompanied by her immigrant washerwoman, the washerwoman could avail herself of all the privileges of first-class citizenship, and would have to submit to the humiliations and inconveniences of “Jim Crow” cars. It is not achievement. Dr. Booker T. Washington, who has arisen from the world-wide fame, would be disfranchised and the “grandfather clause” as would the humblest Negro. It is not education. Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, one of the most highly cultured scholars of the age, could have status and white South college education. Neither the black nor education, when pitted against race prejudice, can win; but the thing for which we must strive is to firmly establish our status as citizens of this Republic. We must have rights to clamor for the enforcement of the Constitution, to the end that we may avail ourselves of all our rights and privileges therein granted. For once we have the protection of the government in the joyment of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, we can tranquilly go from one degree of wealth to another, from one goal of achievement to another, from one future to another, and thus ever onward. Building on the Constitution is building on the rock, and building otherwise is indeed an eating cancer), nor ignore the cloud (which threatens dire disaster). Building on the Constitution is structuring by either, remembering that better than positism and better than optimism is that philosophy which faces facts as they are, and courageously interprets their means.
