Professor Bulley Protects Against a Proposed Law in a Letter, to Congressman Obstett—Futurity Out the Real Aim in Such Proposed Measure—Intermarriage Not the Main Question.
Prof. W. L. Bulley has sent the following letter, which should be generally read to Congressman J. Van Vechten Obstett of New York:
"Dear sir: May I respectfully urge your opposition to the infamous bill, H. R. 24580. It is another attempt to get our national legislatures to countenance race discrimination.
"The political move is a shrewd one—another one of the many clever tricks of the Southern politician to checkmate friends of justice among Northern white man and to further crush the colored man. The cleverness of the move is apparent. The proposer of the measure knows that it is in a subject which easily rallies friends; that even many of those who would be ready to oppose it are afraid of being held up to ridicule, as if they advocated miscegenation. He knew here an opportunity to worm in this malicious act as a starter, expecting soon to follow it with some other, possibly separate railway accommodations; then Jim Crow waiting rooms; then Jim Crow street cars. Not long after, Congress will be asked to pass a disfranchising act for the District of Columbia; and then, finally, for the country at large.
"The proposed act is an unnecessary as vicious. Intermarriage of the races is out of the question, even in the most liberal States. Neither race as a whole is bankering for it. Exceptional cases of intermarriage have occurred in all parts of the world; but it is not general, and possibly never will be. The only thing to be gained by such an act is the publishing to all the States and to the world that race prejudice is enthroned at last in our National capital. It would be an open invitation to any State to proceed with any legislation it please, however humiliating.
"Let me entreat you, dear sir, to use all your influence to prevent this or any other legislation which increases the already too great unrest among us as a people. I beg you to let us feel that our legislators at Washington are too concerned about the welfare of our country as a whole to take time to descend to villainous assaults upon a race, be that race ever so weak and helpless.
"And now, again, let me repeat that this question should not be whether the people of our country are, or are not, opposed to the intermarriage of the races. It is the larger one, whether our Nation's representatives should start out upon a campaign of caste legislation. Once started to descend to iniquity, one will find each succeeding step more easy."
DUNBAR MEMORIAL MEETING.
Interesting Program Rendered at
St. Mark's Lyceum.
Last Thursday evening at St. Mark's lycum, ex-president John B. Robinson had a large and appreciative audience highly entertained. It was at this annual Dunbar memorial meeting that Mr. Roscoe Conkling Simmons gave an oration on "Dunbar, the Man and the Poet." For an hour the orator held the attention of his auditors so closely that none could apace apart. After the oration, At the conclusion Mr. Simmons quoted several passages from Dunbar's works and had proven that the genius and the works of this author are not yet fully appreciated. Mrs. Rosa Scott McCadden recited "When Melinda Singe," Dora Coles, "In the Morning"; Mr. Francis J. Carmand, "The Colored Soldiers"; Miss Lottie Jarvis, "Rise Sleep Comes Down to Soothe the Weary Eyes." Mr. Robinson announced his had selection of the poet, Mr. Simmons, instead the selection was rendered by Miss Edith A. B. Leonard, Mr. William D. Moore, vice-president of the lycum, sang "Dream of Dreads." Letter of regret were read from Mr. William Dean Howells, General Stewart L. Woodford, and Mr. Charles D. Higgins. A letter of appreciation was read from the poet's mother.
The program of March 3 was one of choice solos and recitations furnished by Miss Wilhelmina Moton, while that of the choir was charged by the chaplainin Mr. J. H. Clark. The program for this Thursday evening will be furnished by the program committee, and that of Sunday, March 17, will be in charge of the New York Volunteer Dramatic club.

The Wolfe measure, originally provided that the Board of Education shall have the right to establish separate schools for Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Mongolians and others (the word Japanese not being in the present law), and further that no child over 10 shall be admitted for the first time to any primary school.
On the showing that the country school districts are full of boys and girls who could not enter a primary school for the first time until they are past 10 the bill was amended by adding the proviso that children or adults of any age may be admitted with the permission of the school superintendent or board of trustees.
MAKE SPANIARDS STAY AT HOME
Government Alarmed by Emigration
Big Shipload for Hawaii.
LONDON, March 9. The Madrid correspondent of the Morning Post says that the Government intends to adopt measures to check the continued flow of emigration, which is becoming a source of alarm.
The steamer Hellepolis arrived at Malaga Thursday to embark seven hundred Andalusian families, who have been incited by the Hawaiian authorities to go there for the purpose of counteracting the influence of the Japanese in the islands.
The newspapers advise the Government to facilitate the colonization of the Island of Fernando Po and Spanish Oman.
SOCIAL EQUALITY IS MY WELL, WHO CREATED 8,000,000 AFRICAN AMERICANS AND DENIED THEM FATHERS BY LAW?
Are we ready to make of the American people a meerged nation? This in the inspiration of the Negro—not of the old-time Negro, perhaps, for he was well brought up; but of the new Negro the "Afro-American." Whatever social equality may signify to the white, to the ignorant Negro, and apparently to many who are not ignorant, it means one thing: the right to stand on the world-footing with a white woman as that on which a white man stands with her. It means this and nothing but this—Thomas Nelson Page, in *McCarthy's Magazine* for March.
(COMMON LAW WIFE—Bah, Mirah White Man, aln'these ye childevs!)

MRS. MARY CHURCH TERRELL
AT LINCOLN INSTITUTE
"The Bright Side of a Dark Subject"
Delivered at Washington's Birthday
Celebration—Douglass and Long-
fellow Days at Lincoln.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mar. 12.—Mrs. Mary
Church Terrell presented "The Bright
Side of a Dark Subject," to a large and
appreciative audience in the institute
auditorium on the evening of February 22.
As this cultured, refined and brilliant
woman stood before her audience and
later in the circle of her friends, the
faculty the conversation rapidly turned
up their problems, and asked questions of him; one could
feel otherwise than happy and clothed on the logical chain of National events in the month of February that make possible, connect and bind, the names, life and
character of George Washington, father of
his country; Abraham Lincoln, emancipator of a race Frederick Douglass
bearer of the African Negro, and Mary
Church Terrell, the flower of Afro-America
can womannhood!
Among the many, many excellent points in the lecture, one that naturally, forbely impressed the writer, as teacher of his history, was the stress which the speaker placed upon the value of this most fascinating subject, history.
Mr. Terry dwelt upon the deplorable fact that the Afro-American has played in the making of this country, his bravery as a soldier, his loyalty in peace and in war, are so studiously avoided by American historians. We wish in this article to emphasize this before-mentioned point, the value of the study of history, for we are so often taintingly referred to as a race without a quite sufficient lesson. Lesson the self-proclaimed people unschooled in taking such enlarged views of life as can only with broad knowledge of men and affairs.
Extensive study of ancient civilizations will raise the Negro's respect for himself and for his race; and as he reads of the cultivated conditions, enforced degradation and bitter persecution of other races, the haughty Anglo-Saxon included, of the slow and painful processes, by which, step by step, tolling upward through centuries, these races have thrown of the hondes of the long-distance foremost of the world, also will be helped toward that constructive patience so necessary in the making of an individual, or of a race.
Reading clubs, literary societies and personal effort can do much along the line indicated, by urging the study of universal history, philosophy of history, etc. and there will be a rich reward for all who closely examine the history of the Egyptians, Ethiopians and other ancient inhabitants of Africa, as well as in the long-exploded history of the Greeks and Boeotians. We have a Ferdinand Bencham, and possibly a few others of our race, we are financially strong enough to find our own scholars solving in the ruins of the Nile valley, and other portions of Africa for hidden secrets of our past history, there may be some startling revelations. A very pleasing and instructive feature of life at Lincoln institute is the after dinner talk or better, conversations of President Allen and the students, during which current topics as brought forth in daily papers, standard magazines and high-class, come up for discussion and comment. Long-duration day was thus appropriately celebrated and many were the valuable lessons from this author impressed upon the young people assembled.
JOSEPHINE SILONE YATEA.
NO CHINESE LABOR NOW
FOR PANAMA CANAL WORK
But Such Labor, If Occasion Arises, May Call for Resolution of Mids.
WAASHINTON, March 7.—Frederick Morse of the American-China Company and Julian Rubens, who have submitted proposals to the Isthmian Canal Commission to supply Chinese laborers for the Isthmian canal work, have addressed an inquiry to Secretary Taft as to the decision of the department upon their bids, which have been pending since last fall.
Action has been deferred upon these bids because the Administration was not certain that the work would be done by contract or continue under Government management. Meanwhile the bidders have become impatient, and Mr. Morse himself called on Secretary Taft to-day with the result that they went to the White House and discussed the matter with the President.
Later the following statement was given out at the War Department:
"In view of the changes which have taken place in the management on the Isthmus, the persons making the bids for Chinese labor, which have been long pending, have been notified that no action will be taken in respect to them; that they are released from any obligation under their bids, and that if excasion should arise for a renewal of bids for Chinese labor they will be notified."
No Discrimination Allowed by Post Office Department
WASHINGTON, March 9.—Railway mail clerks throughout the West West are preparing complaints to submit to the Post Office Department against being forced to work with Negro men in the service. On long runs the men are obliged to sleep and eat together, and this is distasteful to the white men, who intend to ask for segregation. Recently a Negro was placed in the service in Nebraska and when objections were made to him he was detailed to a branch line. Wyoming, where he was practically alone.
WASHINGTON, March 11.—The Post office Department does not intend to draw the color line in the matter of white and Negro railway mail clerks working together on the same runs. The particular objection which, it is said, the white clerks have to association with Neg.oes on long runs is that they are obliged to eat and sleep in the same car, the regulations of the department permitting a clerk on such a run, when his work is up, to rest. At certain terminals there are dormitories in public buildings where the clerks may stay if they see fit to do so, but these are open to Neg. clerks as well as to whites.
Judge Gibba Given $50 to Douglas
Homestead Fund.
TUSKOGE, March 11.—Judge M. W. Gibbs of Little Rock, Arkansas, has made a personal contribution of fifty dollars toward the Douglass Memorial Home and Fund. Judge Gibbs writes in sending his check: "I owe much to Mr. Douglass, for in the early twenties of my manhood he it was who put words in my mouth, and freedom of the stage, and the enfranchisement of the race. No one can advocate the betterment of his fellow man without himself being benefited."

FOREIGN LABOR FOR THE SOUTH
CAN'T BE SECURED BY STATE AND
Under the New Law the States Not Individuals Can Assist Immigrants.
WASHINGTON, March 7.—In an opinion made public to day Attorney-General Bonaparte holds that the State of South Carolina did not violate the alien contract labor laws existing prior to February 20 last when its arrests brought over from Europe some months ago 500 or more immigrants for employment in various lines of industry. The Attorney-General holds, however, that under the law approved by the President February 20 aliens entering this country under circumstances similar to those of the importation into South Carolina would unquestionably be liable to exclusion.
The effect of the Attorney-General's opinion will be unprovoked by the courts to present States over the inducement immigration to their borders. The question is of vital concern in the South, whose prosperity depends to a considerable extent upon the influx of desirable immigrants from Europe.
It is told in the opinion of the Attorney-General that Commissioner E. J. Watson went abroad as the representative of South Carolina and by advertisements in European countries collected a considerable number of laborers and artisans and prepaid their passage under agreement that they would be provided with employment on their arrival on this side of the water. As these agreements contracts were not enforceable and, if the agreement was not accepted, the Attorney-General holds that the law was not violated. In support of his position he cites rulings by Federal Judges. The Attorney-General makes it clear that Congress has the power to pass laws relating to immigration that shall apply to States as well as to persons and corporations. On this point he says:
"There can be no question, in view of the number of decisions of the Supreme Court on the subject, as to the right of Congress to regulate the admission of aliens into the United States, whether as immigrants or otherwise, nor yet of its right to exclude altogether any class of aliens whose entrance into the country it might deep contract to the general welfare of the Union, and it is equally clear that no action by any State or by any officer of a State could operate to impair or nullify the effect of a law duly enacted on this subject.
Attention is then called to Article I, Section 10 of the constitution, indicating that the migration of importation of such persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the year 1808."
"This section of the Constitution," says Mr. Bonaparte, "postponed until the date named the exercise of the full power possessed by Congress over the subject matter. As soon as it had accomplished its purpose by securing for the period mentioned the continuance of impaired film in it the authority of the Federal Government over the subject matter became complete, and from that time until the present it has been freely exercised."

EXPLORE VERNER SAYS CONGO
WOULD WELCOME AFRO-AMERICANS
Denise Senator Morgan's Claim That King Leopold Would Bar Them Out. From The New York World
From The New York World.
The questions raised by a resolution in the Senate asking for information about King Leopold's correspondence to Americans were answered yesterday in a timely Samuel P. Verner, the well-known explorer of Africa, who recently arrived in New York after making a thorough investigation into affairs in the Congo territory bearing especially on the questions now under discussion in the Senate.
Mr. Verner was the special commissioner for the St. Louis World's Fair to Central Africa and spent more than twelve years there in exploration. It is said he returned to Africa shortly in the interest of the American concessions, although he would not confirm this yesterday.
"Referring to Senator Morgan's report," said Mr. Verner, "it is not the intention of King Leopold to debark any or all of the colored persons of African descent in the United States who may wish to go to Africa; in fact, they will be countrieled to return. The Congo population is the (40,000) population of the United States to the benefit of both Africa and America. The industries of Africa are calling for labor and the demand is greater than the supply. The population is not greater than ten to the square mile in most districts, and any one could probably get work as fast as the lands are developed. The Belgians have been obliged to go to other parts of the world to get labor for that country.
In the Congo were employed to the fullest capacity he would not be able to develop one-fifth of the lands. Therefore, that country will welcome American Negroes and American white men.
"King Loispold has no authority to grant to any company control over the natives or their personal rights or property. The property of the natives, their farms and their lands are specifically excepted from every concession operated by the Belgians or any one else. This ought to be self-identified, and is a matter of fact the Belgian Colonial Government has not contemplated any such grant of authority.
"The great thing to be desired in the development of Africa," continued Mr. Verner, "is for men to be willing to go back to the old log cabin system of our grandfathers. It is highly probable that in their own interests Americans' who may be interested in the development of Africa will endeavor to put sufficient in documents before the natives to obtain the African natives are now being much better treated than the Negroes in Alabama. I was an unhappy spectator at a far more cruel and atrocious deed upon an unoffending Negro of Senator Morgan State than any I ever witnessed in Africa."
One of the largest mission schools in the Congo was established and is supported by an uncle of Mr. Verner. I am a native of the Congo where they teach manual training and other useful work in the Congo. said Mr. Verner. "And I should say the influence of these institutions extends to about 20,000 persons."
Peterbury Avenue Silentia

BUSINESS LEAGUE GROWTH
INCREASED INTEREST IN BUSINESS ENTERPRISES INWOUROURAGING.
Mr. Guy Reports Splendid Outlook for the Annual Meeting in Topeka—New League Springing Into Life Every Day—The Duty of All to Audit the Business Movement Development.
The work of the National Negro Business League is continuous. It does not end with an annual meeting and lie dormant until the next year, but immediately after the adjournment plans are at once made for improvements, and the several officers from the president down are constant and unremitting in their efforts to strengthen the weak spots and make possible the accomplishment of more far-reaching results. Very few of the local leagues are inactive, with the result that through their efforts more enterprises are started and better- and stronger support is given to them. The work of the league is systematised, the president doing his part, the secretary his, and the organizer his, with the other officers keeping in constant touch and making helpful suggestions.
The plans for the coming meeting at Topeka, Kan., August 14, 15 and 16, are under the direct supervision of Mr. Irs O. Guy, the first vice-president, and he is receiving splendid support from the members of the local league and the citizens throughout the State of Kansas. In communications received from Mr. Guy, other conventions of the league will pale in comparison with this coming meeting. Representatives in a jacent States have also started out to do their part, and there will be no let up in the effort to make this 8th annual convention of the National Negro Business League the largest yet held and the program one that will be helpful to the Negro throughout the country.
More shoe stores, more millinery stores, more banks and trust companies in different parts of the country, more confidence on the part of members of the race is what is now being advocated. Our schools and colleges are turning out each year young men and young women, and to give encouragement to these and make it possible for them to apply the knowledge they gain from them to them a future. We must stop relying on the Anglo-Saxon to carry us, and make up our minds and be determined to carry ourselves. We must recognize the value of cooperation, and that it is our bounden duty to patronize our business enterprises and professional men. The writer has had occasion to talk with a number of white business men in New York south along the line of race support and overcome the problem what should be done, and that the Negroes should get together, build themselves up and through this building up make a future for themselves. What a mighty force we would be, and what a powerful influence for good we would wield. Let us get together.
HOWARD UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS
New Alumni Association—Freedman's Hospital Provided For—Free Lecture Course.
WASHINGTON, March 12.—Among the recently organised Howard Alumni Associations are those of Montgomery, Ala., Pittsburgh, Pa., Baltimore, Md., and Philadelphia, Pa. The president of the university is making efforts to get complete lists of alumni from all departments and would be pleased to receive the names of the officers of all alumni associations.
A song service of high order was given in the New York Union Memorial chapel on Sunday, March 3, under the direction of the present efficient head of the mental department. The university choir has improved in every way. The great audience went away enthusiastic over the splendid solo and chorus work.
On Friday evening, March 5, the Howard University band of two, five pieces, assisted by Mr. C. C. Whif, violinist. Misses Childers and Chase and the orchestra, appeared in concert numbers many compliments for their artistic work.
Congress, during its last session, appropriated more than $100,000 for the completion, before the beginning of the next school year, of the new Freedman's hospital. The hospital buildings, costing nearly half a million dollars, are located on the eleven-acre park, between the main hall and the medical building, which park was ceded to the government by the university trustees. The new hospital will give the medical school clinical facilities unexcelled in this country.
Beginning May 6 and lasting six weeks the School of Medicine offers to members of the profession a post graduate course with pollinies in medicine and dentistry - a splendid opportunity for physicians and dentists to familiarize themselves with the most recent advances in medical and dental science. The university will offer next year enlarged immunizations for young ladies. All buildings are fitted with modern improvements. The curriculum of the various departments have been revised up to the latest and most advanced standards, making Howard equal to the best. In the university course of free lectures three excellent addresses have been delivered and others are scheduled to follow in rapid succession. Illustrated lectures were given by Rev. Dr. Oliver Huckel of Baltimore on "Student Life at Oxford," and by Prof. Radley Willis, of U. of London, on "Geology in China." U. of London Wooldell Phillip Stafford of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, delivered a most polished lecture on the post Whittier. An intercollegiate debate between Howard and Virginia Union University of Richmond will occur in the near future. Preparations are already under way to elucidate the record of last year's spring athletics, brilliant though it was in baseball and on field and track. A large number of baseball games are scheduled. Howard holds membership both in the Intercollegiate Athletic Association, at the Murray Hill hotel in New York, and in the Intercollegiate Athletic Association.
The religious life of the university has been quickened and elevated largely through the spiritual influence exerted by President Thirkield's weekly discourses at Sunday vespers. The earnest work which has resulted indicates that the movement is not a short-dived effusion, but deep rooted and abiding.

44 Why Judas Hanged Himself.
1. Then Judas, which had betrayed Him, when he saw that He was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.
2. Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? See thou to that.
3. And, he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.—(Sr. MARTHEW, xxvlii. 3-5.)
What We Want and Should Have.
Preparedness in any given direction is the basis of success in it. The time never was when the man best qualified to do a given thing did not get the better of the man who did not know how to do it. The Afro-American will succeed or fail by the same token. There is no royal road to success in anything. Competition is not only growing more acute in this country, but the simple question of color is being added to it to make it all the more difficult for Afro-Americans to make a living as other men make it.
Conditions have been growing worse for the Afro-American in the industrial field, as they have in all other fields, ever since the War of the Rebellion, and they are likely to continue to do so until we are able to manage those conditions, as far as we are concerned as breadwinners, ourselves. We have got to make jobs for ourselves and those of us instead of looking for jobs in the business of other people; we have got to have money to lend to others instead of looking to others to lend us money; we have got to have stores of all sorts of our own where those of our own can find profitable employment.
We need strong newspapers not only to defend our rights and to print the news and opinions in which we have a peculiar interest, but to give employment to literary talent and to the skilled people among us and the young people who need work as clerks and the like. THE AGE gives direct employment to some fifteen people every week, and indirect employment to a hundred more, but it should be able to have two hundred men and women in its main offices, and could do this if 50,000 of the 10,000,000 Afro-Americans in the country would read the paper. Will they do it? We think they will, if the paper is put before them in the right way. We are now engaged in a campaign to give them an opportunity to do it. We will spend our good money to get them to do it so they may have a better and stronger newspaper and be able to give employment to an army of young people of the race. It is the business of every reader of THE AGE to assist us in the undertaking, because each one has a personal interest in the matter.
White Labor for the South.
Several of the Southern States have established bureaus for the purpose of inducing foreigners to settle in that section, and some of them have sent agents to Europe for the purpose of encouraging and assisting such labor to do so. South Carolina did this, although the immigration law forbids individuals to do it. The right of a State to do it was submitted to the Department of Commerce and Labor for determination, and among the first acts of Secretary Straus was to declare that a State might do it. Attorney-General Bonaparte has now reversed that decision, which would be inconsistent with the new immigration law just adopted by the Congress.
There is no real foundation to the stories advanced as excuse for the scarcity of labor in the Southern States. The fact is that the industrial interest of those States in every department have developed by lease and bound, running away ahead of the supply to be had from unanticipated use of population. Then, year
THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1907.
work on the farms be between new work on their own, family or mutual farm, while other, designated with the wages of labor and conditions of living, have deserved the country distress entirely; and, then, a large element of white farm labor is no longer available because the men and women of this sort have been drawn upon by the textile mills. The South is short of labor because its enterprises have grown faster than its labor supply, and because the character and laws of the section do not invite outsiders to go there and settle, nor encourage those who are there to persistent labor.
Old Sore in New Shot.
Color prejudice has broken out in the railway mail service in the West.
When the matter reaches the Post Office Department at Washington it will be interesting to see how Postmaster General Meyer, who is new in his position, and who is a Massachusetts man with long service in Europe as a diplomat, will dispose of it. If he will issue a general order on the subject saying that all railway clerkes who do not wish to work with Afro-Americans can resign at once it will settle the question at the start and for all time. Will he do it? In such matters the Post Office Department has not shown up strong at all, and we should like to see it begin to do so. In the Federal service, and more especially the classified civil service, one American citizen should have the same treatment by the authorities as another. There is no favoritism about it; each employee owes his job to a rigid examination and to assignment because of meeting the requirements of the law.
Say what we will, the Afro-American has a big job cut out right in front of him, and he does not appear to worry much about it.
Looting Little Republics.
The intimation that the German Government will not send an answer to the Haytian Government on a warship in a matter which should properly go through diplomatic channels has been announced. Very good. The disposition of the German Kaiser to use a warship whenever he uneezes is a disease.
President Nord of Hayti is an unusual man. He is over eighty. He is wealthy. He has striven to give Hayti an honest government, which is remarkable among Haytian Presidents of the past twenty-five years. In his prosecution of looters and grafters a German firm got caught up. There is no reason why it should not be made to stand up and be counted with others found guilty by the Haytian courts.
The little Republics of the Continent have been cursed with American and European adventurers who have looted them by concessions and loans and invocations of their governments to support them in their rogues. If Hayti could have a half dozen presidents in succession devoted to the public welfare, and not exclusively to their personal welfare, it would soon be respected by all governments. President Nord appears to be all right. He should be sustained in his efforts to clean out the grafters and looters.
Frugal Living and Wealth.
The statement has often been made and observation justifies the truth of it, that foreigners who come here to make their home and fortune, grow rich on what Americans to the manor born throw away; that is, they confine their living expenditures to their actual wants and throw away nothing that can be used. The writer knows five Italians, living in a nearby New Jersey town, who, as construction hands on the railroad, at $1.25 a day, have bought and paid for neat little homes. They are still working and saving and will soon enter business enterprises of their own, or buy other little houses and rent them. In a few years they will have laid the foundations for a fair fortune which they or their children will certainly make. The great fortunes of New York city—like that of the Astors, the Stewarts, the Goulds, and others—were begun in just such humble ways. Indeed, economy in living expenses and a proper investment of surplus earnings is the most general way, to make a competency for old age. There is no royal tend to a bank account, and there are more bank accounts built upon pennies, which are easy to get, than upon dollars, which are hard to get.
It is a fair statement of the case this the average Afro-American wage earner spends too much of his wages on eating and drinking and on wearing apparel. Let those who work for wages and who are always short of money look into this view of the matter. We soldom hear a person say that he will have to retrench in his living expenses; while most persons who find themselves up against what are called hard times invariably declare that they must get or make more money. It is hard always to get or to make more money, because the wages of labor remain almost stationary, and are based on the actual cost of living, while there is hardly any limit to the ability of most people to retrench in their living expenses. The effort to get or to make more money is always a doubtful undertaking, depending upon the other fellow, while the effort to spend less on living is always a dead certainty, because it depends upon the person concerned. When the writer was in Japan, China and the Philippines he was surprised to find how little the average native required for his living expenses. It is true that the native does not make much, but he manages to live on what he makes; some of them save money, and in the very long run amass something to sustain aid to comfort them in their old age. We claim that our standard of living is higher than theirs. So it is, but there is no reason why we should not practice some of the frugality in living and forsight in saving that they do. It is easy to understand the way a Chinaman or a Japanese will slave and deny himself in this country, in order to save a few thousand dollars, when he can return to his native land, to which he looks forward as a passion, and live thereafter in comparative comfort.
Entrevagent living has developed very rapidly among Afro-Americans in recent years. The low financial fortunes of the race justifies the advice for retirement in expenditures and greater savings from small as well as large earners.
Race Mix-Up in Oklahoma.
In it not rather discouraging that the Red Man should join the White Man in opposing a square deal for the Black Man in the constitutional convention of Oklahoma? But it often happens that way.
A great many of the Indians are badly mixed with African blood, and whatever the outcome of the work of the convention there is in the future likely to be things doing in the new State, which besides this mixed Red-Black has a large population of White-Black and Black-Black people.
If we did not see infinite mixture of all colors in this country, so that after a while it will be impossible to tell a man's race by his physical aspect, we should have much misgiving as to the peaceful outcome of all of it.
Perpetuation of race in this Republic is out of the question, and the rapid extinction of the unassimilable Indian races proves it. The natural theory in all heterogeneous aggregations of peoples is toward homogeneity of type; so far in this country it has been that way. But in so mixed a population as that of the new State it is strange, indeed, that the color and race question should cut such a considerable figure.
Roosevelt and the Democrata
It has got to be a fad among the Democrats, who are utterly bankrupt as a party, to suggest that the Democratic party should nominate Theodore Roosevelt as their candidate for President. Hardly a week passes that a suggestion of this kind does not appear in some Democratic newspaper in the North or the South. We have endeavored to regard the matter as one in which vice involuntarily pays tribute to virtue. We are unable to discover anything but vice in the Democratic party, which has no principles, no policy, no leadership, and which is wedded to political, financial and economic heresies which have always and do now menace the peace and prosperity of the country. President Roosevelt has accomplished some things which the Democrats have talked about, and rung the changes on in their platform for years, and he has shown a remarkable liking for Southern Democrats of the rotten sort who have been repudiated by their constituencies, but there is nothing in common between him and the Democratic party.
Mr. Roosevelt believes in a strong centralized National Government. If the States do not exercise the rights reserved to them, and the public necessity needs their exercise, he believes in exercising them through the Federal Government and has not only shown as much in his words and acts, but it has been formulated into a doctrine by Secretary Root, whose pronouncement was generally understood to be inspired. Indeed, President Roosevelt so far believes in a strong Government centralized that he may be regarded as more of an extremist in this respect than Alexander Hamilton, the father of the principles which underlie the Republican party as distinguishable from the Democratic party, in so far as it stands for the principles of Thomas Jefferson, who was notoriously opposed to Hamilton and all of his theories. The Southern States have in times past been the bulwark of the doctrine of State rights, and under the inspiration of that doctrine, as formulated by John C. Calhoun, went to war about it. All during the period of Reconstruction and after the usurpation of the governments of the South, the Southern Democrats were the greatest sticklers for a strict construction of the Constitution, for confining the authority of the Federal Government to the exercise of the powers specifically granted to it and of reserving to the States all the rights not so enumerated.
But the Southern Democrats have of late years shown a disposition to help on the inevitable tendency to a centralization of the powers of the Federal Government, deriving their chief inspiration from the theories of William Jennings Bryan, which the popular vote has three times defended in the balloting and which it had no knowledge that President Roosevelt stood for, or would put into force, when he was elected in his own right after serving the unexpired term of President McKinley; and Mr. McKinley would have been as horrified at the policies advocated by President Roosevelt as he was by those simply advocated by Mr. Bryan. Judged from this point of view, the Democratic party has no principles left it worth having, as President Roosevelt has appropriated all of them as represented in Mr. Bryan's theories—except free silver and government ownership of public service, corporations—and has made them the principles of the Republican party. It would appear, then, that the only hope some Democrats have of recovering their principles is to capture President Roosevelt and so much of the Republican party as belongs to him.
As President Roosevelt has time and time declared that he will not run for the Presidency again, the declarations of Republicans and Democrats as well that he must be the candidate make an interesting situation which President Roosevelt only can make plain. But the efforts of some Democrats to capture him is interesting all the same.
The longest way round is often the safest way home.
Deny social equality to a man and political equality and industrial opportunity will be denied him sooner or later. In equality in one thing will carry with it inequality in all things in a Republic. It has been that way from the beginning of social order. No standard based in race and color can prevail in this country without creating injustice. The citizenship of this country will stand or fall upon the principle of equality of right in all things under the law.

OCCUPANT PETFALLS TO SUCCESS.
Saving a Small Part of the Hearings for a Rainy Day—Burying in Time and Borrowing to Keep up Pulse Press.
In setting forth the facts connected with this most important subject, the writer wishes to make allowance for failures sustained by nature's ravages, such as hailstorms, drunken, sickness, death, etc., but, there are certain pitfalls that all farmers should try very hard to avoid for the simple reason that if they persist in falling into them the result can apa-
nothing more nor less than failure. This article will, therefore, deal with some of the chief of those pitfalls, namely, drink, water, and food; and of saving a small part of one's earnings, for a rainy day, or any other day, for that matter.
Now then, one of the deepest pits that a farmer is liable to fall in is the whisky pit. It doesn't make any difference what name it is known by, whether booze, red-eye, moonshine, little brown jug, tanglefoot, or eye opener, the effect jungle juice has on the brain is not know of any other pleasure (?) that can take so much money in so short a time. If the farmer invites no one to take a drink with him, which is very rare, for all drinkers like company, every time he takes a drink alone the interest on from one to two dollars is lost to him; it takes beyond his many enemies not only rhinestones the interest but allow the whole capital or farm to go by that route.
The first thing that a sharper does when he wishes to drive a bargain with a farmer is to fill him up with liquor. Why? Simply because he knows the deepest secrets of farmers. In this way many farmers sign away all their rights when under the influence of strong drink. It is a hard task master and when once acquired as a habit usually follows its victims to a debtor's grave. It ruins his health, leaves him his character and lastly leaves him his object pauper. Farmers, beware of booze.
The writer said in beginning this article that the liquor habit was one of the deepest pits into which the farmer can fall, but there is a question about that, when he comes to consider the next topic—debt. Possibly fourth of fifes, of all the men who begin farming start in debt, but many of them do not farm in the course of time. Many fall, but it is not to this class of debt that the writer addresses himself; it is rather to that useless kind he refers, the kind that farmers contract simply because some one is willing to "trust" them for a "year" to something that they invariably do not need, or it is because some farmer wants to keep step with his security, more than neighbors. Let writer, if you please, give a few examples. Mr. Blank buys a farm for $2,000; in debt; he is not energetic, but wishes to have the name of a "big" farmer, so instead of striving to pay the original debt, he expands to larger proportions, buying this thing "on time" and borrowing a hundred here until he has at the end of a few years a larger debt. This is not true of any farmer, but of many known to the writer:
Now, the average farmer hates to hear of his neighbor having something that he hasn't got himself. The agents that travel up and down the "pike" seem to know all about this weakness. So after telling what he has to sell he runs over the list of farmers who have bought, say a stove from him. This stirs up the end of the list. The agent needs to give his order regardless of the cost, because he gets it "on time," and the agent gets a "note" that will take the very shirt off his back if he fails to pay. He leaves the farmer's house drawing a sigh of relief as he hushes to himself. "Another sucker caught," and incidentally pocketing from one to two-tirds, more than the real value of the article sold. The farmer, well, poor fellow, is just tickled to death because he has to pay for a stove that has not an additional weight on his debt-burdened shoulders. The writer believes that some farmers would buy an old yellow dog if they could get him on time.
The superficial observer passing through a farming district might note this fine house, or that elegant barn, but he little dreams of the weight the farmer is carrying to keep up appearances, for many mortgage their places to cut a "fager." But more, if a farmer wishes to borrow small sum of money, of course he gives an exemption note which takes all nails. Now, he wants to pay that note when it falls due, but the oily-tongued lender says to him, "Oh, that's all right. I don't need the money; you may keep it." Why keep it when due? Ah! the lender knows, that it is the only way he can earn $6 per cent for his money, hence he induces the farmer to keep the principal and pay the interest. In this way some farmers known to the writer have paid $6 per cent on a debt for twenty old years. In the old days a debtor was sent to jail if he failed to pay his new loan he or his bondsmant must pay. Don't fall into the debt pit. Once in, it is exceedingly hard to lift oneself from it.
If there is any one thing more than another that the average farmer wants to learn it is the idea of saving a part of his earnings. Any man who earns a dollar can save a small part of it, providing he does not want to live like a man who gets two dollars. Most farmer's earn something above their expenence because they can't go to town and back with them or because they can't say no to the smooth agent it is hard for them to save anything or to "get ahead."
A few years ago a daily newspaper hit this to say in advising a young man who had been fleeced out of his hard-worn money: "Any fool can earn a debt but it takes a sensible man to save one. That is just as true now as it was then. Here is a man with a large family who complains that he can't get ahead, word as hard as he will. He is really a good man, but he has to have a lot of money to keep him at least two, two or three drinks and the same number of cigars. On the other hand, whenever his children want some article of clothing the stores in the market town are not good enough, he must send to Chicago, or some other large city for the goods and pay the freight in the bargain. That's making a "front" with a vengeance. But it does not pay. This man does not know how to handle the money that he makes. Is he going to get ahead or not get ahead? And so it goes. If the farmer would learn to cut out these worth less frills and strive to lay something by when the time came to buy a store, machine or some needed article he could pay for it cash and save from 15 to 20 per cent. on the operation. When asked by the writer why he did not save a part of his earnings, a young man said, "I am 35 years old and can pay for it cash and save from 15 to 20 per cent. on the operation. Well, the writer certainly did feel sorry for that young man, and for the time was struck dumb by his answer, for he had always regarded $300 as a great deal of money. The trouble with this deluded young man was, as it is with hundreds like him, that he was not willing to save aten by genen, and since he could not save the whole thing at once he would not save anything at all. Farmers, stop, wait and think about it. There is nothing above for any one of these in suffering your farm under the abridge because Herine, Pa. March 8. A FARMER.
IN THE PUBLIC EYE
HON. JOHN C. DANCY,
Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia.
NOTE AND COMMENT OF THE WEEK
At Culpepper, Virginia, the jury found the Strothers brothers not guilty of killing their brother-in-law, Ryewaters, an hour after he had married their sister, whom he had grievously wronged and deceived. The verdict was based on "the higher law," which the judge and jury found to be the correct thing. But there should be and there is no "higher law" than that placed on the statute books, up to which all of the members of society should be compelled to live. The man who invokes "the higher law" and is justified in doing it by the law and public opinion of his community is in the same boat with the mob which does the same thing, and as long as the individual is justified in his acts the mob will be justified. That is the condition of affairs in most of the Southern States. The consequences are to be seen everywhere in the South, in the fact that every man considers himself a law unto himself. Lawlessness will always camp on the heels of the "higher law," which is nothing, indeed, but the savage law.
A man without a ballot is in alomst and a bad fix as the man without a country.
Interest in the August meeting of the National Business League, at Topeka, Kansas, crowds space. The business men of the great West who have not herefore become a part of the organization are doing so rapidly, as the increase in the number of local leagues shows. The Topeka meeting promises to be a very strong and interesting one. The increased business activity of our men and women all along the line is the most encouraging thing in the situation. We must not only make a lot of money but we must keep a lot; we must not only buy a great deal of merchandise of all sorts but we should sell a great deal; we should not only deposit much money in banks but we must own some of the banks. We are doing all of these things now, and will continue to do them in larger degree, and the movement is bound to make for race strength and respectability. Every business enterprise undertaken by Afro-Americans should be encouraged, because the upbuilding of it will make another element of strength.
The Salvation Army in New York has opened an anti-suicide bureau. Very few Afro-Americans move on guile as an escape for the lil' they know of. They live as long as they can and only die when they must.
There are not so many candidates for the Republican nomination for President in sight as at this stage of the game. The announcement so far, not counting President Roosevelt, who may bear the good thing away, are Charles W. Fairlanks, of Indlann; Joseph Benson Foraker and Henry W. Taft, of Ohio; Philander K. Knox, of Pennsylvania; Charles E. Hughes, of New York. Bryan is the only Democratic thing in sight, the mention of Hoke Smith, of Georgia, and Senator Cullerson, of Texas, being in the nature of newspaper wind.

Senator John C. Spooner of Wisconsin after spending some of the best years of his life in the service of the public, finds himself a poor man and has resigned his high office to devote his future to making some money for his family. Mr. Spooner is regarded as one of the best Constitutional lawyers in the country. He is a Republican, of course, as Wisconsin does not raise the other sort, but some of his positions on the race question in the Senate notably in the first session of the last Congress, when he can away from Senator Tillman instead of riddling him, and in the last session of Congress when he gave a qualified but half-hearted support to the Brownville order of President Roosevelt. But, all in all, he was as good as the average Republican Senator on the race question; that is, he was no good at all. We hope, however, that he will make all the money he needs for himself and to provide for those dependent upon him. It is not every man who can do that when he is ready and willing to do it.
We regret to learn that Liberia may ultimately become a part of British West Africa. The country was settled by Afro-Americans, but from the development point of view it has not been a success. We know of no good reason why it should not have been. The country is very rich in resources. But the administrators of the country should have calculated upon having more trouble than they could manage when they borrowed more money from British financiers than they could repay. It is never justifiable to contract a loan unlawful it is plainly to be seen how it can be repaid, with ample profit for the use of the money by the borrower. The present government of Liberia appears to be wise and conservative, but the mistaken of former governments may not be easy to overcome. We hope the Republic will be able to weather the storms that hover about it and that it will tilt on a progressive development which has not characterised it in the past.
The longevity of hardened donors who have devoted the better part of their lives to the work of retarding the growth of the Nation and of trying to oppress a part of their fellow-citizens is one of the most inexplicable things in life. Former Senator Pugh, of Alabama, has just died at Washington, after having lived elighty years, while Senator Morgan and Senator Petitt, equally as senile, both of Alabama, still live. Why?
The friends of Howard University, and especially those who have been benefited by the instruction that they got there in the years that are dead, will be greatly pleased to know that under the new presidency of Dr. Wilbur P. Thirkleid the institution has taken on new life and to take the high place among educational institutions designed for by General Oliver O. Howard, who gave most of his fortune to endow the work only to have his generosity dislipated by bad management. The property he gave the institution, which is now worth millions of dollars, was squandered, as far as the interests of the work are concerned, so that its present resources are poor indeed. It is the general belief that under the presidency of Dr. Thirkleid the institution will recover much of the ground that it has lost by mismanagement.
The Afro-American bankers of Mississippi have been meeting and advising among themselves. It is a great big step ahead that we have bankers in Mississippi; that they can meet and advise together for mutual good and advantage is also a great step ahead. Hurrah for the Afro-American bankers of Mississippi!
After reading "Slavery in the South Today," in the current Cosmopolitan Magazine, by Richard Barry, what foreign immigrant hoping to better his condition would turn his face toward the Southern States.
If the Federal Government has a right to regulate child labor we can imagine nothing else, that it has not a right to control. It now regulates traffic rates of railroads and perhaps it will after awhile undertake to regulate passenger traffic rates and give the separate car laws a swipe in their stomach.
It is said that Japan, Russia, Great Britain and France have reached an understanding for peace in the Far East, Very Well. But there will be peace enough in the Far East as long as Japan maintains the war strength which upset Russia and put the rest of mankind to thinking steady, and long. The man with a big stick may not be loved, but he will always be respected.
A Properone Georgia Society.
From The Fiat Macon Truth
President Joseph King and his splendid society. The Union Brothers and Sisters are worthy gift imitation all over the country.
They do not amass a lot of money and put it away in a bank to be loaned out with profit to the bank and comparatively none to them, but they wisely make judicious investments of their money and realize themselves from handsome returns than any bank could afford to pay.
They have bought lately a little more than a hundred acres, making some two hundred acres in all; this property consists of fine farming lands and is rented to good advantage. From this source this society has a constant income and is able to meet all demands made upon it.
President King, Vice President Wade Hutchins and every member of this noble society deserve high praise for their excellent work, not only in caring for the sick and burying the dead, but also in setting the example of buying large tracts of land and renting them, and thus providing a source of perpetual income. Long may the president live and have the assistance of his faithful officers in what he is doing for the race.
Department Store in Philadelphia
From The Philadelphia Pillow
Colored capitalists of Philadelphia have just opened what they are pleased to term a "department store." While this term would seem rather presumptuous, it is unquestionably one of the most complete tailoring, boot and shoe, ladies and gents, furnishings, dry goods and cotton stores conducted by colored persons in the North, if not in the entire country. The store is admirably located, being on the corner of Broad, the principal street of the city, and Lombard, the street most frequented by the better class of colored citizens.
The three-story, building occupied by the store is fitted up in a way that will compare favorably with stores of similar size, conducted by members of the white race. Samuel Brown, for many years a prominent merchant tailor of this city, is president of this syndicate. Associated with him in this enterprise are several other men, whose well-known honesty and best deed capacity make the success of this store an assured fact.

BROWNSVILLE INQUIRY MAY PURNISH SUMMER BRADING.
Senate Committee to Resume Hearings on March 11—Gunn, Shells and Cordridge Withdraws by the War Department from Exhibit, Supposedly for Microscope Examination—Review of the Testimony Taken by the Committee—Its Tendency to Acquit All Three of the Discharged Companies — Previous Trouble in the Frontier Town, with Its Large Mexican Population.
From The New York Evening Post.
WASHINGTON, February 28.—The story of the "Brownsville affray," which has been reported in the press, is not yet at an end. From all present indications it is likely to continue until it gets into the class of light summer reading. Judging by the straws which show which way the Semestral wind is blowing, the inquiry is not even bearing an end. The most important event upon the pollinies in the fact that the committee will take an adjournment from next Monday, March 4, to the following week, recuming the hearings on March 11. If Senators believed the end of the inquiry were in sight they would prefer to continue the sessions until the committee is able to return to their homes in various parts of the country.
One of the developments of the inquiry which seems most fraught with interesting possibilities has just leaked out. It is that the exhibits presented to the committee by the War Department, in the shape of guns, shells and cartridges, have since been withdrawn from the custody of the committee. Senators on the committee have submitted comments on what object the Administration had in seeking to recover possession of these articles. It is heard, however, in a well-informed quarter, that the cartridges and shells have been sent to the Springfield arsenal for microscopic examination. Evidently the only purpose for such examination is to obtain some report which may be presented as technical and scientific evidence for the refutation of what ever controversy there was by Senate Military Affairs Committee in consence of all the evidence it has heard from the Negro soldiers themselves.
What has been developed by the month's investigation by the committee? The inquiry began on February 4. Since then between forty and fifty witnesses, most of them former enlisted men in the three companies discharged without honor, have been examined. The plan of examination adopted by the committee was to take up the different companies in their order, and then continue the inquiry to the Hospital Corps, after that to the corral, and finally to the guard. The purpose in discharging them was show, company by company, that the enlisted men of the battalion had nothing to do with the "shooting up" of Brownville.
Reviewing all this evidence, the following facts appear: When the testimony was concluded with respect to 4 Company—the first company concerning the members of which inquiry was made—it was generalized that the responsibility for the shooting rested upon men belonging to the battalion, that at least D Company had been exonerated. Then, in the opinion of those who followed the testimony closely in the committee, the same result followed as to B Company. Hence, through the testimony of the jury, the thought that the guilty men would be found necessarily in C Company.
This was the company in which the gun-racks, were broken open. The formation of this company on the night of the firing was delayed because the sergeant in charge of quarters did not promptly open the gun-racks, the men having to break them open therefore to get their guns. B and D Companies were quickly formed and passed to the positions assigned to the men for the defence of the garrison, while C. Company was deferred to the positions. On the night it was very much criticised and it was surmised that the breaking open of the gun-racks indicated that the men who did the shooting belonged to that company.
The testimony, however, gave the impression that if fifteen or twenty men were clever enough to form the sort of conspiracy it was charged had been formed by them, and could carry out their plans with such success that no one could get a chance to the details of the conspiracy, not understanding that they could necessarily have had accessories, both before and after the fact—these same alleged conspirators would certainly be bright enough not to begin their lawless operations by breaking open their gun-racks and discharging their guns from the back porches of their own barracks. Nothing could be more conclusive than disclose their own identity in conclusive fashion it is pointed out.
There has also seemed to be a great deal of improbability that enlisted men with this superior degree of shrewdness and cunning attributed to them officially in the charges against them and to smart enough not only to plan, but to successfully execute such a conspiracy, would be so careless as to scatter shells and clips and bandoliers in the streets, thips also fixing the streets, and being only able to everybody not familiar with the facts from the viewpoint of the members of the discharged battalion, it was established, when testimony was taken by the Senate committee as to this particular company, that a few days after the company arrived at Brownville, all the service ammunition had been taken up. In lieu of it, only ten rounds of guard ammunition had been issued to each man. The evidence showed that this guard ammunition was only steel jacket, and carried only fifteen grains of powder. Such a cartridge will shoot at the furthest only about 200 yards.
While it is true that the bullets found in Brownies are of different kinds, there has been no evidence to show that any bullets of the kind used in these cases were used in the attack. Further, what makes the testimony appear conclusive in favor of C Company is the mute evidence of the ammunition returns. These figures show that the company had only 650 of these cartridges before the shooting, the number afterwards, and that this number was turned in when the company was discharged without honor.
If there was good reason to acquit Companies B and D of participation in the rioting, there appears to be an equal reason for acquitting C Company. As to the two companies, the law allows that the two companies were formed in front of their barracks, the roll called, the men counted, and all found present and accounted for, before the firing ceased, some three or four squares distant in the town. Thus, apparently it would, have been physically impossible for any collapsed man who had participated in the firing to return from the scene to the army post and join his protest committee, but being detected, this seems to be especially well established when it is remembered that at that time not only the non-commissioned, but the commissioned officers as well, were all awake and alert. After the firing and after the men returned to their barracks, the testimony shows that their guns were put in the locked up, and kept the fire when they were not in action, and, when they were in action, and, when they were in action, providing them with no fire gun
was found and that no evidence was missing. Proof that no enemy forward in the same way to communicate the invitation that no one contacted with the guard, the hospital, the currel, or the officers' quarters could have had anything to do with the firing. The testimony on these points has not been presented in its entirety to the committee as yet, but all that has been presented is strongly in favor of the entire innocence of all the men in the battalion.
A good deal of testimony has cropped out, especially in connection with the testimony of some white men who have been examined, such as the hospital corps sergeant and his assistant, the corral boat, the post blacksmith, and others, which may throw some light upon the nature of the murder, the pits. This evidence has emphasised the fact that Brownville is a frontier town with a population largely Mexican, as is the surrounding country, and that firing at night, both in the town and in the immediate vicinity, is not at all unusual. There has also been testimony to the effect that all soldiers who have been stationed at that post, whether white or brown, are killed or wounded in Brownville. While the Fourth Infantry (white) was there, two or three years ago, one of their men was shot and killed in a shooting scrape, and two or three other men and one of the non-commissioned officers became involved in trouble of one sort or another with citizens of the town. The white man in question, who appeared as a witness, told the commissioned soldiers belonging to the discharged battalion was quite as good as that of the white soldiers.
This reviews some of the pertinent facts which have been brought out to date by the Senate inquiry, and which, in the opinion of many persons here, tend to support conclusions other than those arrived at by the Administration.
THE DOUGLASS HOMESTEAD.
Strong Plan for Believing it of the Present Debt.
From The Colorado Stateman.
The People's Sunday Alliance has done two commendable things. It has established an annual Emancipation Day, the first Sunday in January each year. It has framed a luncheon held to reward as Douglas day. Last Sunday this day was fittingly celebrated The program was excellent, the music fine and the speakers and singers at their heart. The audience was large, appreciative, and well behaved. Everybody has a good word for the meeting and the Alliance will welcome the welcome held to The Colorado Stateman now advises a step further. Douglas homestead in Anacostia consists of a mansion and fourteen acres of land situated on a hill overlooking the Potomac river and giving a birdseye view of Washington for many miles. It is the opinion of expert that the government compels that this property will be worth $5,000 an acre, its actual value now is $1,500 per acre. It is already exempt from taxes. It is an act of Congress and the property is given over to an incorporation known as The Fredick Douglas Memorial and Historical Association. There are three buildings, $5,400 bearing six per cent, interest, payable semiannual against the Douglas property. This mortgage is cleared the property will be in the sole possession of the race. In the course of time nine acres of this property could be cut up into building lots and sold and the proceeds of the sale, Cedar Hill, which the Douglas library stands, could be endowed with ample funds to meet the needs of the association in perpetuity. Cedar Hill will then be to the Nero what Mount Vernon (the home of George Washington a few miles away) is to the white race. Now let the Alliance be the first group to contribute $5 to the object and then let them give five, ten, twenty-five or fifty cents to this fund. Let us show our faith in Douglas by our works. Denver ought to give at least $100, and Colorado, including the Springs, Pueblo, etc., $160 more toward this worthy object. Money in any amount sent to Dr. Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee, Albumbua, treasurer, promptly acknowledged and presented to Now. Women and women who love Douglas show it by their works. The Colorado Stateman will start the subscription with one dollar: who will follow?

THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1907
Mrs. Victoria Carle Matthiessen was born in Fort Valley, Georgia, May 27, 1851, and died in New York February 10, 1907. Her mother was a slave and about nine years after the emancipation she was raised in the great city of New York. Victoria, the youngest daughter, was educated in the public schools of New York. This fact by no means gives an adequate idea of the education of the woman who was a great reader and writer. She was a woman in the country. She was a writer of considerable ability and contributed many articles and short stories to the

ambitious work is a
little story entitled,
"lands," published in book form in 1883.
Mrs. Matthews was a lover of her race—an intensely public-spirited woman, and was the founder and first president of the Woman's Loyal Union of New York and the Board of Trustees of the Woman's Loyal friends of New York, and at one time New York State Organizer for the Northeastern Federation of Women's clubs. In each one of those organizations she was a leading spirit, spending unintentionally her time and strength for the advancement of the women of the race. She identified themselves with the Red Cross society during the Spanish-American war, being known as Auxiliary (19).
In 1896, Mrs. Matthews had the distinction of being invited to represent the Negro Women of America at the world's C. E. Convention held at San Francisco, Cal. Prior to her departure a magnificent demonstration was given her St. Mark's Church. Walters presided and Dr. Booker T. Washington, Bishop Derrick and other prominent men made addresses. Letters of congratulation and endorsement were read from many distinguished persons in various parts of the country. Her address of this occasion "The Awakening of an American Women" was perhaps her chief platform effort, and was most cordially received and thoroughly appreciated.
Always an earnest, energetic worker for the race that she loved, after the death of her only son in 1955, her heart turned in a special manner to children and young women. Learning of the terrible crimes committed against many young women she worked with seeking work, she began to visit the docks in order to save some of the friends in human form who systematically sought to degrade them for their own selfish ends. In this work she met with great success, saving and helping permanently to a good and useful life numbers of Negro girls, and useful life numbers of Negro girls doing good work, she conceived the idea which has developed into the White Rose Home for Working Girls.
This, the crowning work of Mrs. Matthews' life, was begun in a very humble way, the first meeting of a little band of earnest women who rallied at her call being held in the house of Miss Mary Lewis, 156 East 98th street. It is a fact of some significance that some of the helpful workers in the undertaking model presents a new and have clung to this work of colored women for colored girls with a devotion that is as rare as it is touching and beautiful. It would be impossible to describe the struggles, the trials, the disappointments, the heartaches, that are inseparable from such a work. The struggle to be in the neighborhood of East 98th street by middle-class classes, kitchen, garden, Sunday school classes, etc., went on until about 1800, when a Sun reporter interview Mrs. Matthews and published an account of the work and its struggles that attracted the attention of some philanthropic clubs and gentlemen. These kind of people made gardens and made possible the removal of the work to its present comfortable home at 217 East 98th street.
In the ten years of its existence, the Workers' and Travelers' Aid have met and conducted to reputable homes 50,000 girls, 5,000 of whom have been sheltered under the roof of the White Rose Home. Many have received meals, car fare and over-the-road games. The girls will be going on. Daily, in Norfolk and York steamers are met and unsuspecting girls are helped in whatever way they most need help.
Personally Mrs. Matthews was a generous, charming woman, of matchless courage and an indominatable will that found no obstacles too great to be swept aside in the accomplishment of her purpose. She possessed many excellent traits of character, among them a high regard for the things she loved and a desire to make others happy. Her devotion to the work, for which she gave her life, was simply marvelous, her influence over the girls and women whose lives she touched was extraordinary: the good that she has accomplished in helping, directing and inspiring young women cannot be estimated. "Life's felt fewer ended, she touched more," she wrote. "Dear to her must suffer from her loss. Only God who knew her earned suffering heart's desire can raise up another to carry on the work so well done by her. Those who were her friends, who knew and loved her, will surely strive to prove their devotion by sustaining the work that was as the apple of her eye. No great sacrifice could be made, and a sated soul could be given. Her faithful sister, her beloved nephew, have the sympathy of countless friends.
As for her, she has penetrated the reil, has met her boy for whom she never ceased to mourn, has solved the great mystery and rests, we believe, in sweet communion with the Saviour. Numbered with God's saints, she is, we believe, laugh in the consciousness that "she hath done what she could."

DR. MATHAWAY'S GOOD SUCCESS IN KENTUCKY NORMAL WORK.
Legislature Has Given the Institute an Appropriation That Will Make It One of the Finest of Its Kind.
FRANKNORT, March 11.—Twenty years ago, through the efforts of certain public-spirited Afro-Americans, the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute was established by an enactment of the General Assembly of Kentucky for the purpose of the colored public schools of Kentucky. They are always connected with an institution certain personages whose relations are such that mere mention of the institution fixes in the mind their names. So with the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute. The magnanimity of the recent Kentucky Legislature has provided resourceful and tactful ability of President J. S. Hathaway than the philanthropic spirit of Kentucky's solos, for every man can't get before the Appropriation Committee the third time in one session and secure what he wants, especially if he represents a class of people who stand at odds with an aggregated class, according to legal, religious and political custom.
It is through the splendid efforts of Dr. Hathaway that the girls are to be removed from the frane dorsitory, used for a long time, to a new, modern and up-to-date four-story brick building, complete with electric lighting, steam heating and an open kitchen. When one considers what a distorted view the average white man in the South has of the home life of the Negro, it is wonderful that they have not only accepted the most approved plans submitted by Dr. Hathaway, but have voted sufficient money to carry them out. For a long time the Kentucky Normal and an unrestrained school of facilities and for lack of anything like commodious apartments for its students. It is now entering upon an era of unprecedented prosperity, and the particularly appreciable phase of the situation here is that Dr. Hathaway has never "crawled upon his stomach" in these appropriations, because always in mind and been manly, upright and honest in all of his public utterances and actions.
Mr. Hathaway occupies the distinction of being the only president of a State school for Afro-Americans in the South who is on his own board of trustees by legislative enactment. Energetic, reactive and committed, he into the respect and esteem of the people of the State, and is able 40 secure from them anything that in his judgment is absolutely necessary for the upbuilding of the institution. With the completion of the girls' dormitory, installation of water works and electric lighting system (the first of which was completed week) he accomplished in the few short years work that places the institution upon equal footing with the best in the land. The salaries are exceedingly good, commensurate with the work, and by reason of this a strong faculty is employed each year. The present faculty is composed of the following: Mr. Hathaway; Prof. W. H. Clarke, Prof. E. E. Reed, Prof. S. M. VanCleave, Prof. T. J. Garth, Prof. J. L. Lawson, Prof. J. H. Pinkard, Mrs. Delia Adams, Mrs. A. G. Smith, Mrs. C. G. Gatewood, Mrs. R. A. Hayes, Miss Lulu Coleman, Miss Susie S. Smith, Miss Florm Webster.
