New York Age

The arrival of Dr. Washington and his party evoked a round of applause. After an informal reception the banqueters were escorted to the hall proper by Mr. J. C. C. editor of the journal, Dr. Alexander, who the toastmaster of the evening. Dr. Washington was accompanied by Mr. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue for the Second District of New York, whose presence was one of the inspiring features of the evening. Dr. J. K. Oz. Prayer was offered by Rev. Alexander Gordon. Fred Forman's orchestra, concealed behind an imamate hand of ferret discovered in the basement, is beautifully decorated with silver candelabra, potted plants, and the service was fastenable. Following in his blue flute on a mallet shell, consumes terracotta pots, and carries a canon, potatoes, string beans, roman punch, blanched almonds, peasa, Waldorf salad, blanched Virginia ham, cheese, cracker cheese, ice cream, cakes, cakes, coffee, cigars. When the hour for the beginning of the program had been reached, Toastmaster Asbury introduced in turn the speakers, each of whom spoke briefly, but forcibly and instructively on the topics assigned them. The tone of the addresses was optimistic to the last degree, and their utterances bore the stamp of authority because the speak was themselves pronounced successors in the particular line of endeavor they discussed. The facts and figures brought forward indicated that the enterprising business men of the Quaker City are wide aware and alive to every opportunity to advance their commercial interests, and that the professional and ministerial elements were putting their shoulders to the wheel with enthusiasm that betokens results. The sports from the building and loan associations, the expressions of the medical men who are in charge of hospitals, offi-nmental officers, and other dealers in various commodities, practical engineers and men who daily handle fire affairs of their own or of others, are as a revelation to many whose attention had not been specifically called to the wonderful progress, that the colored people of the city are making in so many helpful directions. Speakers and their subtlety were as follows: "Journalism," Mr. C. J. Perry, editor of *The Philadelphia Tribune*; "Building Brooks," *Religious Institutes*; "Brooks," *Religious Institutes*; "Charles Parrish," "Colored Men in the Civil Service"; Mr. W. H. Jones, street commissioner; Mr. Ministers in business, Bishop Brooks; Dr. E. Howard; Mr. Medical Physicians; Dr. E. Howard; Mr. Commercial Incorporation; Mr. Samuel Bryan; "Civic Rightnessness," Rev. Hokey, Jr.; Phillips; "Industrial Insurance"; Council; "The Gent's Furnishing Business"; Mr. A. E. Makell; "The Industrial Idea for Pennsylvania," Rev. W. A. Hokey, Jr.; "The Negro Inventor," Mr. D. R. Sloan; "The Negro Department Store," Mr. R. S. Jackson; "The Real Estate Business," Mr. Charles H. Sandidre; "The Negro Physician," Mr. Allegerman S. Jackson, of Moffey Hospital; "Our Guest," Rev. W. G. Parks. Before the remonstration of Dr. Washington to the complimentary remarks of the event, witty, forcible and eloquent, paying an especially high tribute to the work of whom he described as being the womens abused and most lavishly flattered man of the race, yet who was unloved by the one and unloved by the other. Mr. Edwards's speech was applauded to the echo. When the distinguished man in whose honor the elaborate function was planned arcs to speak, the great company stood the Chaundan salute. The pervading strain of the "Wizard's element address of three quarters of 70 been the value of constructive effort in the solution of the new problem greatest need at this time, argued I. Richington, in the dorsed pioneer spirit greatest original opportunities for their careers, that build up something, which would be a position which did not exist be- came creators of wealth, of opportunities, business, promotion things which are daily life. And THE NEW YORK AGE. emphasized with all the force at my command, that the acquisition of hand, the building of homes, the successful management of a bank, dry goods store, or a dairy, the cultivation of a farm, the invention of a useful piece of machinery, will solve the race problem than all the abstract theorizing that can be infused in from now until daytime. When a Negro actually creates something of value to civilization, through the skillful manipulation of black hands, backed by black brains, he has the capacity that cannot be overlooked even by his feet." Dr. Washington said he wished to see the colored business man in the great centers like Philadelphia. Boston and Chicago clubs, and thought it would be one of the most profitable of ventures to arrange a display of Negro genius and material program in some public place where the interest would be greatest. Studying the new Negro are limited, can see for themselves just what is being done. Instead of dwelling on the negative side of problems the initial need would be to find a positive side by showing his creditable achievements. There is nothing but danger when we confine our activities to compulsory work, our advancing failures, limited weaknesses. No enterprise people want to take stock in a sick man or a sick race. They want to deal with success. We must deal with the race problems, to see the race problems, solved on permanent and satisfactory lines, should look forward; not backward, should take note of the bright side, be cheerful, and be sure to front benches and constructive bends where we live in the best age are the destruction of slavery. We must not become discouraged or embittered. Study the objections furnished by our creators of opportunities follow in their footsteps to the heights. Dr. Washington took occasion to state that he was in perfect harmony with a man who was a Negro guaranteed by the Constitution, and believed in no surrender of a single atom of that which belonged to us as citizens of the Republic, but in the effort to secure our freedom. We must travel the same hard road that other races have trodden in their struggle for the riches of earth and the privileges of men. Dr. Washington was agreeably surprised at the magnitude of the business and professional development of the colony, and he helped to uphold that his visit had been most pleasant and instructive. R. W. T. WASHINGTON'S MANAGEMENT OF TUSKBEE VINDICATED Investigation of His Affairs by Alabama Legislature All to the Good. Efforts made by certain politicians in Alabama to discredit the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, of which Wood Washington is the principal, are clearly malice. These politicians grew tired of hearing Mr. Washington praised, and they resented the implications of the decision, when the success of his institution in raising young men and women of his race to higher levels of usefulness, self-respect and good citizenship, when their antagonism the purpose of the legislation other men were gone enough to insist, in the first place, upon securing authoritative official information as to the exact condition of the plant and of the obtained under the Washington regime. The expert employed by the State Examiner Harrison, has made a report that has confounded the enemies of the school and has endangered the standing than it ever had before Mr. Harrison shows in his report that the enterprise is conducted with far more business skill than most of the schools of the South, either white or black. The report sent to the managers high praise. They are commended for neatness and accuracy, and also for simplicity, and the examiner declares that the system of keeping accounts is the most efficient ever known. As the man who makes this statement is an expert accountant his testimony is the more impressive and the more gratifying to all friends of Principal Bingham and his great mission in the South — Buffalo Commercial, March 13, 1907. The investigation made at the request of the Alabama Legislature, of Booker T. Washington's Twelve Institutes seems to have been undertaken in a very critical if not hostile spirit, and yet as a result of the search into the affairs of the school if the money has been made, the use of the money has been made: that the results are good, and that the teachers and managers are proceeding earnestly and successfully on right principles. The one criticism was the expenditure of $2,000 on the entertainment to President John A. Johnson, who was the president, and the others, on his visit. The Legislature, not disposed to be harsh or captious. [As a matter of fact, we learn it was just one-half this sum.—E.D. NEW YORK AGE.] The favorable report is likely to cause the abandonment of a bill introduced in the Legislature providing that the Institute be deprived of exemption from taxes. As other laws are made, the present enj. of the privilege of exemption, the present obligation of the bill would be a most unjust discrimination. The bill only to fail. The criticism against many Negro educational institutions and movements is that they tend to limit the Negro for the real work of life with the Negro, and the present is of no sense of his own importance. As T.T.R. R.H.M. says, education has been making him "big city." That charge cannot be justly brought against the Washington method, which teaches the worker to work: leads the drone to feel that he must work in order to be a good citizen. In the present case, in a practical way the fundamental lessons of morality and decent living. In fact, it may be questioned whether Washington and Tuckekee have not found a straight path in our social economy, where men are now foundering wildly—those who think to increase the stature of the people and the happiness of the country of Legislature and political action. The War on Truckekee and consists of starting at the base of all systems of improvement with a steady effort at the advancement of the individual, fourth ought to cherish the Tuckekee—Philadelphia Ledger, March 13, 1907. JAMES PARKER CRAZY. First to Seize President McKinley' Announin. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., March 22. James Parker, a Negro who says he is the Parker who seized Crocodile when the anarchist assassinated President McKinley at Buffalo, was arrested here to allow detention. He hung through the streets all day, standing on corners and telling his story. NEW YORK, THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1907. ITALIAN IMMIGRATION FOR THE SOUTH SOUTHERN GENT—"Walat tew buy a fa'm!" ORGAN.

Demand Party Be Restored to Republicans J.B.FORAKER ENDORSED Democrat Made Referee of Republicans in State Denounced as Unjust and Disruptive of Party JACKSON, Miss., March 14.—An open revolt of the Negro element against the present leaders of the Republican party in Mississippi was declared this afternoon, when a mass meeting of Negroes assembled at the American Theatre with the aawed purpose of wrestling the control of the party from the hands of the men in whom it has been vested during the Roosevelt Administration. The revolt is led by the most prominent Negroes of the State, among them being I. T. Montgomery, Wesley Crayton, L. K. Atwood, P. W. Howard, Charles Banks, Sam Hurst, E. E. Howard, R. A. Simmons, D. W. Gury, W. E. Mollison and others. Roosevelt Simmons, a Negro politician of New York, is attending the meeting. The mass meeting was presided over by Dr. S. D. Redmond, and numerous speeches were delivered, some of which were of deep significance, members of the Negro race being urged to register and qualify for suffrage. The delegates adopted were strongly denunciatory of the Roosevelt Administration, one paragraph being as follows: In conclusion the resolutions denounce the action of the President in discharging the Twenty-fifth Infantry without consent and allowing indorsement of Senator Forker :¹ "We record our highest admiration for Senator Joseph Bennon Foraker, a beloved and brilliant captain of the old guard of our party, rich in great sons, and of the foremost statesmen of him who have served us with courage toward securing for these soldiers such a hearing as was compatible with simple law and justice. He has endeared himself to Republicans and those who love liberty. We send greeting to him from the Republicans of Minimispim, representant of the party who have pride in its traditions and faith in its mission wherever the flag soars." THE DOUGLASS HOMESTEAD AND THE MORTGAGE ON IT The Indebtedness. Constructed After the Death of the Great Commemorer. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 25—Since Dr. Booker T. Washington's appeal in behalf of the Douglas Memorial and Historical Association, with reference to paying off the mortgage of $3,400 on the Frederick Douglas homestead, at Anacostia, D. C., his sons, Major Charles R. H. Douglas have received many inquiries about the truth of the statement that such a mortgage rested on the property at the time of Mr. Douglas's death. It is proper in this case that the property, such mortgage was left upon the property by Mr. Douglas, but was placed upon Cedar Hill several years after his death, and the property and been purchased from the estate. The present purpose of Dr. Washington and the officers of the Douglas Historical and Memorial Association is to show that the property as a memorial of Mr. Douglas and the Afro-American people. PENROSE EXONERATED But Court Finds Soldiers of Twenty- fifth Guild. WASHINGTON. March 25.—The Senate committee on military affairs to-day received from the acting secretary of war a copy of a telegram from Brig-Gen. Mc Caskey, commanding the Department of Caste concerning the Major Penrose court martial. The telegram says that Penrose was ex- onerated, but that the court found that the "shooting up" of Brownsville was done by men of the Twenty-fifth In- firmry. The following is the text of the tele- gram: "Major-Gen. Ainsworth—Major Penrose was exonerated by the court-martial. Brownsville was done by the men of the Twenty-fifth Infirmry. Finding approved by me. McCASKey, Commander." THE "NEGRO" PRINTERS HAVE AN ASSOCIATION New York. Craftsmen Will Hereafter Pull Together. Thursday evening, March 21, at 22 Carmine street, a number of Afro-American printers assembled for the purpose of forming an association for business, social and mutual welfare. After careful and considerate discussion it was unanimously agreed that the name of The Negro Printers Association" be assigned to the group proceeded with, with the following result: President, Charles A. Hall of The League Press; vice-president, George A. Lewis; secretary, George R. Retary, H. C. Brentwhite of the Chesterfield Printery; John P. Wharton, treasurer; Members: James J.

A letter of approval from a sick fellow-craftman, Gray Blackett, of Brooklyn, explaining his reason for absence and nature co-operation, was accepted and sent to the federal important committees were appointed by the president to draft measures suitable for the conducting of the association. The next meeting will be held at The Alexander Wren office, West 7th Street, 7th Floor, p.m., and all Afro-American artists are cordially invited to attend and enroll, and by so doing help a good and necessary movement, which should have been put into operation long before this.

BONAPARTE'S OPINION Governor of South Carolina',Put Him in a Hole and He Ate Humble Pie to Get Out-'Bah! WASHINGTON, March 22: President Roosevelt has received from Attorney-General Bonaparte a letter containing answers to a series of questions propounded by Governor Ansel of South Carolina, on the matter of promoting immigration. Replacing to the question as to whether it is a violation of the immigration law now in force for a State, acting through its officers, to advertise its inducements and to obtain such documents should be limited to acting for purposes offered by conditions prevailing within the State, leaving the readers to draw their own conclusions. The Attorney-General question, the Attorney-General qualified in other respects, the advertisements to be lawful, in accordance with the answer to the first officers, nor any other, and the wise solicited or encouraged the immigration except by payment of the immigrants' passage out of the public funds provided by the immigration of the immigrants would be lawful. In the third question the Governor asked whether a State, acting as such, through its officers, could accept contribution from immigration department fund, provided the department received from any contract or reciprocal agreement, and with this fund advertise its inducements and prepay the passage of any contract or agreement, come free from any contract or agreement. This question the Attorney-General says: "While the parties providing the money for the publication of the advertisements might be, in my opinion, liable to the present law), the immigrants themselves, upon the hypothesis of the third question, could not be excluded." To the fourth question, whether the former answers the affirmative generally different after the taking effect of the act of February 20 last, which goes into effect on July 1 next, the Attorney-General answers in the affirmative. The prosecution, when it is unable to change the present law in two particulars. In the first place, aliens, solicited or induced to migrate by reason of offers or promises, even when there is no contract between the parties, are liable to the person whose passage money is paid by another must be prepared to show that it was not paid by a corporation, an association, a society, a municipality, or a foreign government. All that, while the payment of the passage money of such immigrants by a State with its public funds is not prohibited, its payment of funds contributed by any society associated with the State is not to exclusion. The same prohibition, however, does not extend to the payment of passage money by individuals, whether directly or through the agency of a State, or indirectly by the agency of a good faith, and is not attended by combination or concert of action. A BUSINESS MOVEMENT IS NOW ON IN NEW JERSEY New York City Business Men Are Wide- awake and Hustling. If the Negro imagines that he is forever to be carried by the white people he should bid himself of that delusion. In the plaintest kind of language the white man has said, "Begin to strike out for the Negro, and to be the slave me by producing." In many parts of the country this kind of preachment is bringing results. The Negroen of the South are starting all kinds of business. Those who have been spending all of their money with white establishments are beginning to see that the Negro is there yet much to be done; in fact, it will take years of work, practical in its way, to get the race to see the wisdom of cooperation. The clergy are beginning to see the wisdom of mixing the material with the religious side, and they can be mighty force in obtaining results. We want all of the friends that we can get. South as well as North. The doctrine that the National Nerm Business makes difference is helpful and inspiring. While many and varied business enterprises are in the increase in the South. Northern Repos are getting on a move and doing things. At Atlantic City a guest furnishing store, under the influence of the local league, will begin operations later this month. An estimated number held by the club of last week. The helms are intending to start a millinery store, one lady offering to put in $500. At Red Bank a local Business League has been organized and after having been invited to have to be recharged with Newark held a splendid meeting at the rooms of the Y. M. C. A. and voted to take out a charter, and appointed a committee to arrange the meeting at an early date. Preliminary meeting, encouraging meeting of the U. G.联赛 was held at the Hotel Macca, Mr. P. A. Payton, Jr., presiding, and plans for a campaign of helpfulness to the business at Union Baptist church, Rev. Sinn, pastor, will be held in April. A local business league was organized in Paterson, and they decided to take a charter, and a meeting agreed upon to, be April 8, the church of Rev. J. W. MacDonald. Among those who are conducting successful enterprises in New Jersey are Mr. Williams, of Newark, has most valuable plant symbolizing, and has carpet-cleaning machines (his own patent) which he sells for $300 apiece; Mr. Williams, of Newark, has a well-established value of which is $7,000. W. E. Hopper, of Paterson, with his are handles. R. R. Tivess, telegram poles and lumber business, having large contracts to supply lumber, building materials, etc., is a lark buyer of material in the South. These men are solving the problem by doing practical things, by making opportunities for the employment of the lumber industry, by increasing the capacity of the race to do. They are the kind of men that are needed, possessing pluck, push and energy. They are all members of the Farm R. Moore Organizer. DELAWARE M. E. CONFERENCE APPOINTMENTS ANNOUNCED Prof. Pearson of Swarthmore. Tukey. HIPLADILPHIA. March 25.—Before a large audience of women at the Atorn club, Thursday, Professor Paul M. Pearson, of Swarthmore, one of the most fashionable ladies' seminaries in the country, gave an interview on the subject and futuré of the Neuro in the United States. The affair was given to amisté the Congress of Mothers in raising £pde to sustain the went-teachers' association. Mrs. George Johnson, Mrs. Frederick Schoff and Mrs. F. C. Grice, great leaders in philanthropy. Among other surprising things which Professor Pearson told those who had not studied the Neuro question thoroughly was that forty percent, of them could read and write, that a very large number owned property, and that the Negro was one factor in America—the Indian the other—for the production of tropical melody, dance and verse. The Negro labors under two strong impulses in our country, he said, "the impulses of his Africanism, and his Americanism. He does not wish to lose either of these characteristics, and it is the blending of the two which makes him the complex imager he is." Professor Pearson pointed out the fact that the Negro was capable of great eloquence and scholarliness, and went much further than even Booker T. Washington in his prophecies for the future of the Afro-American race. CATHERINE FERGUSON MEMORIAL Presbyterian at Work for an Institutional Church Here. At the meeting of the Presbyterian Minister's Association, at No. 156 Fifth avenue, last week, the Rev. John Newman, D.J. District Secretary of Presbyterian Board of Publications, stated that a movement is on foot to erect an institutional church for the Afro-American people of this city, somewhere in the United States, surprised many of his hearers by stating that the first Sunday school started in New York was organized in 1793 by a woman, who have named the cemetery Mount Tabor Presbyterian church at No. 57 West 134th street with this institutional church, which is to be called Mount Tabor Presbyterian church. ministers evinced much interest in the plan. Provisions for highclass lodgings and board, after the manner of the Hudson, would be especially appreciated. It was decided that colored people to secure board except in dianal neighborhoods. Editor Brown Acquitted. HOPKINVILLE, Ky., March 20.--The Afro-American of Hopkinsville have been considerably stirred up over the Parker-Brown libel suit, which was instituted several weeks ago by Rev. G. W. H. Browne in the C. M. K. church, against Phil H. Brown, editor of The Morning News. At the examining trial considerable testimony was introduced showing Parker to have been mixed in several shades. ```markdown ``` The Next President of the United States Is Being Worried Out by the Master of Politics. WASHINGTON, March 31—Here in Washington the long winter is done, and the spring has really begun. Some one said to the writer that the thought the heard the other, the kindled the point of a robin. Perhaps it would be breathed harbinger of spring the heard in her back yard that day, and perhaps it was the song of that "little bird in the air, singing an anonous one." For he is indicted here, and his name is "In the streets of the town is heard and repeated again and again," until the air is weighted and vibrated with the burden and excitement of it. But then they heard the sound of the streets of the town than the sound of the garrulous bird. And there other sounds are the buming and humming of the bees. They, too, have arrived and then so both the Presidential kind, and they have come with both wings. They are waving and buzzing about the White House, and they are waving and buzzing about the War Department. Meanwhile the strenuous occupant of the White House is banging nightly on his combination tin pan, and his plans Secretary of War is toiling warily around the house, and so both the Presidential kind of ultimately capturing the whole burying and buzzing brood of the white and very valuable variety of bees, which are soon to begin to lay up the Presidential honey to either and those two great enemies to either and that between them in the summer of 1806. It would not be matter for much surprise if the strenuous and masterful occupant of the White House should have the busing of this Presidential woman should lend to the body, burglar well an ear on his own account as well as that of his big and pliant secretary of Forc. Mr. Bloockett, but his more mature, well-educated, graffification of his pension for government, for the exercise of the immense energies of his mind and body. Most year he will be just fifty, with his manhood of 77, and body grievous to垂吊 on the Larges on which the manhood of fed, kind, contient it were, during the last eight by our very thought of quittin' dental offence. And in immensely busy work with all sorts and conditions of all sorts and conditions of TOP and retire to private life, most a man sick in the body of him may be taken from the intolerable dullness, the portable weariness of the terrific which will be his in such an appalling situation. And appalling the situation. And for him, if private life awaits him at the end of his present term in the President. St. St.rop Alexander the Great wept when there were no more worlds for him to conquer, and Theodore Roosevelt will weep, too, will gnash his formidable teeth and quench forever his characteristic smile. If after the fourth of March, 1900, he has no more cabinets to control, no more Congresses to compel, no more judges to appoint, no patronage to distribute, no more big corporations to bully, no more municipal politics to meddle with, no more State politics to interfere with, no more National politics to direct, no more world stage on which to enact his role of world protagonist, no big stick to flourish over the heads of his enemies and to bring down every now and then with mighty thawcks on their heads and backs. Alas and alack, in those circumstances our mighty man of war will indeed be fallen, and who of those to-day who creep and crawl to position under the outspread legs of this American Colossus will pause long enough in their selfish pursuits to do him honor? Few and precious will be the number of them. Erro, the busy, buzzing bee hath a peculiar charm to day for the Presidential ear, as for that of his Secretary of War. And don't let no colored people forget it. Let us take the advice of Captain Cutler and "make a note of it." The President is by no means indifferent to the peculiar buzs of that rare radiant aparium variety which has got its name from the fact that it is at present haunting the White House, and humming most seductively about the ears of its strenuous occupant. Does he heed the buzz in his ears, and will he hear it? The President is sound of the third-term hummers. The sign seems to denote that the President is by no means deaf to the crescendo buming and humming of the third-term workers, whose swarm, whether by accession or by other means, mixed up with the common variety of Presidential bees, flying and buming about the open window, at which sit and listens in the Army and Navy building the mighty mind, in the mighty body the jovial and plant Secretary of War. Who are those who desire a third term for the President? To be perfectly frank we half suspect that Mr. Roosevelt must, and after him so do the rest of officeholders, and after this big army of officeholders troop that other big army composed of all those who hope to come officeholders under the present president, and after him so do the rest of officeholders under such a generalissimo constitute negligible quantity in party politics this stage of the great game of war, the Republican nomination next; but the president is in possession of the Government, and matters of National party politics session of the offices, possession of power of distributing the National treasury, possession of the renomination of the candidate who, in, or in favor of the nomination of follower of his, in case he, the big chi declines to run for the office again. The president is the covenant power of their common hope fears, and encouraged by the same into prodigious activity in every county and State of the Union in candidate sentiment in their candidate, and "spontaneous" be the formidable force back m talk, the third term mo a force which will ha d with by every candidate for the Republican Pr on next year. For th to tell the means out of this strucxite in his work, notwithstanding, like Onean, he words put aside the crown. Can we desire to take the crown, which he hides declined, because he did the time rise for acceptance. He would not be human, would not be himself indeed did he not desire to prove his term of govern at the head of the nation, but has now it does not appear to him such to seem in Circumstances after upon, and later circumstances may de- velop which might warrant Mr. Hoose- son to clearing Front on the this ques- ues of a third term for the twenty-sixth residents of the United States. Who were? Does the President himself know? Does he desire to see such cir- cumstances develop in the National sit- tions as would justify his acceptance of his party's nomination for a third term. We shall presently see. We are in the busy rooming. Mr. Secretary Taft for the nomination. It is always wise to have two strings to pass a box, the President thinks. If the platform movement, which is one of the strings fails to pull the nomination for himself, he has the second string, which is Mr. Taft's candidacy for the nomination, to pull as an alternative. What the Administration joins in the rush of the third-term movement, it experts to make good in the jir of the Taft room. If between these two movements it puts a majority of the votes in the next National Republican Convention it may pull successfully either of the strings to its bow and so land at pleasure rather of its candidates for the nomination. But were the combination to fall about a majority of the delegates, it may still be strong enough to defeat the� andancy of some man or men unfriendly to the Administration, may, in fact, be strong enough to dictate terms and a�re-promote candidate to the convention, and so get a half loaf in place of the whole one, which it is busily making plans to capture at this time. And so the President is busy these days floating the Taft boom. He will meet with the governors of Illinois, to the White House on this particular business. He has been invited to join the Administration cabal. Ramon does not yet announce whether he will be the President's plans. If he joins the combination the part he is assigned to him in the execution of the deep-limited scheme of Illinois delegation to the National convention of 1908. But no candidate may expect to be strong in another State if he is weak in his own. And so the plot to be successful will be the candidacy of Mr. Roosevelt's pliant lieutenant and would be successor. This cannot be effected, however, without the cooperation of the National convention practically impossible. Therefore the President means to win the support of Ohio for his candidate in spite of the National patronage and by any other means or by co-operativeates of Ohio or may lay his hand on Will be succeed? Well, hardly, not if we know theATOR Foraker and the treasurer. he taz tattoo depicts the arrival of coats of White House now engraved in blowing from his long administrative pipe and infilating swith the fridescent hue of the rainbow of his political hopes and promises. Remember, meanwhile, Brownville, Mr. President, and you, too, Mr. Secretary Taft, and also, that man, the one that came aft a cley" and be wise while yet there remains time to be wise. ARCHINAL H.

The idea that the shooting up of Brownville on the night of August 18, 1906, could be fastened on the dismissed battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry by firing two cartridges from each of the rifles issued to the three companies and comparing under a microscope the exploded shells with the shells picked up in the streets on the morning after the raid was ingenious, but it may be doubted whether the scientific theory will work out to the satisfaction of the War Department. The test was made at the arsenal in Springfield, Mass., and Lieutenant W. J. Hawkins of the Ordinance Department, and J. C. Spooner, expert inspector of gauges, were in charge of it. After the rifling of a gun "ring bolts" or small scratches, plainly to be seen under a microscope, remain in the chamber. They are said to differ in appearance as human thumb prints differ, and after a cartridge is fired through the barrel the reel is indented by these "ring bolts." Army experts say they cannot be mistaken in associating a discharged shell with a particular rifle when they make the microscope test. After two cartridges had been fired, the reel is indented by these "ring bolts." Army battalion the test showed that the thirty-three tell-tale cartridges picked up in the streets and alleys of Brownville on the morning after the raid which terribly exploded in four buildings must have been exploded in four of the new Springfields issued to Company B. Upon the evidence elicited or extracted by Blocksom, Garlington and Lovering of the Inspector-General's Department, the Inspector-General's Senate court-martial and taken by the Senate Court-martial man can say that a case has been proved against the battalion, while, on the other hand, the evidence that the shooting was done by the riffle of the town is slight, the evidence that the police were shooting at the Negroes who were to take the place of the Twenty-sixth Infantry (white) were not wanted, and that only threats were made against them before and after the shooting at Brownville was of frequent occurrence that there was a feud between the police and the white as well as the Negro soldiers; that the Mexican policemen wore khaki uniforms and that one or more of the takers in the case were 75 per cent. of the residents were Mexicans, many of them of a low class; that commissioned officers give Browningville a bad name, and that there is a conspiracy to fire the direction of the bullets fired in the early stage of the raid, was testified in behalf of the battalion at the Senate hearing. But what shall be said of the remarkable fact, if it be a fact, that Brownville has been able to hold its tongue and keep the secret about its attack on Fort Brown on the night of August 13? A conspiracy among a few soldiers to conceal their crime is comprehensible; a successful conspiracy of town ruffians to hide the outrage is a tax on credulity. Whoever was guilty of the bloody business, we believe the impression is now general that very few of the Negro soldiers could have been engaged in it, and that the great majority of them did not consist in shielding the guilty. The next step was to connect the four rifles with the four men to whom they had been issued. But according to the testimony given at the Penrose court, the four men were the Company B, who commanded Company B and at the Senate Committee hearing by Quartermaster-Sergeant McCurdy two of the rifles from which nineteen of the picked-up shells were fired (assuming the microphone was not attached to the naked-down box which lay under a pile of iron cots in the locked storehouse of Company B when the shooting began in the town. The evidence on this point was to be exclusive. The Taft admits that neither of these rifles had been given out to men of Company B. The other two rifles were issued to Privates Thomas Taylor and Joseph L. Wilson, who if they were engaged in the real man must have firearms. The Senate Committee has submitted Taylor and Wilson. When examined by Lieutenant-Colonel L. A. Lovering, acting Inspector-General, at Oklahoma City, in the end of September, the evidence given by these men was later submitted to the Senate Committee, a quote from the examination of Private Thomas Taylor: "Q. Where were you on August 13, 1906, when the shooting commenced? A. In bed, asleep; Fort Brown, Tex. Q. What kept you in Fort Brown? A. "Q. Whereabouts is Fort Brown? A. [n quarters. Fort Brown. "Q. Anybody ever abuse you in Brownville? A. No, air; never went around," them. "I were aware that he was asleep when the shooting began, and he also averned that nobody in Brownville had abused him. The ordinance test is further compelled by the history of proving that the thirty-three shells submitted as evidence of the guilt of soldiers of the battalion were used on the night of the raid. There is evidence that empty shells could have been used to kill civilians; cartridges were surreptitiously sold in the town. The shell test having developed features that seem to reduce the raiders' ability to hit civilians that there were ten or more raiders—and the two soldiers indicated having swarm that they were asleep when the town was shot up, the Department has rather deserved than lit mystery by its Sherlock Holmes strategem. From the Southwestern Christian Advocate Terry Howard, aged 72 years, of Ebenezer Holmes County, Miss., father of Dr E. E. Howard, the prominent Negro phrenician of Meridian, Miss., died Friday, February 8, 1907. The passing of Terry Howard seen its the day when Republicans sent in the legislative halls of the State, he being among the last of that political faith to have served in Mississippi, having been elected for the last term about 1888. He was for a long time president of the board of supervisors of Holmes county. He was a native of South Carolina, but resided in Mississippi for over fifty years. Resided Dr. E. E. Howard, the deceased left two other sons who are physicians, Dr. W. C. Howard at Demopolla, and Dr. W. F. Howard at Hattieaburg. P.W. Howard, another son, is an attorney at Jackson: 8. M. Howard, a druggist at Greenwood, and A. J. Howard, a merchant at Ebenezer, two daughters are teachers in State schools. False Notions as to Certain Crimes. The attempt of an element of people to make it appear that certain crimes are peculiar to Negroes, which attempt has forbidden for some of them no doubt, by a majority of those who publicly discuss this question, from the President of the United States down, has warned no one that, while it has created a universally false and written against the Negro, the American Magazine which addresses the President of cities, who in turn had innoching still other irresponsible descrasts so solitely about slavery, has been accused of whichever state as to those THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1907. Break in Not Appreciated—But Why? An advance copy of the unpublished report prepared by the Board of Trustees of the New York State Hospital for Incipient Tuberculosis shows what remarkable results are being obtained by the proper treatment of 108 patients who had incipient consumption when they entered this institution, 96, or more than 84 per cent, are set down as "apparently recovered" of about six months. All told, 108 patients recovered as far as could be determined and 84 had their disease arrested, while only 13 of all the patients treated showed no improvement, and of those in 12 were of advanced and aggravated form when they were admitted to the institution. These results obtained in treating 174 cases would have been declared impossible not everywhere regarded as an incurable disease, but they are results that are being accomplished here and now in New York in way that can leave no real doubt in the event the most identical and conservative. The report, however, points out very unfortunate and regrettable state of affairs, general, so far as appears, through out the whole State. Although 14,000 persons die from tuberculosis in this State every year, it is nearly every year of whom any one time had the disease in an incipient form, and although many thousands now have the disease in the early degree, this sanatorium with room for only 100 patients never during the past year took care of more than 137 patients at the time. The difficulty has been and will in the future be to get people suffering from the disease to begin a course of treatment sufficiently early to secure the advantages which the State has placed at the service of those who are stunted to be able to terrible disease and undue trouble to bear alone. It may be to fight it. Not only do they suffer needlessly but they become incurable and a menace to their own kindred and to the general public. The only hope is in education, and the trustees are instituting an industry into the state. It is not only a source of funding for the disease in the several countries of the State, but with this study the Superintendent through address publications and personal correspondence is reaching the majority of the physicians who are the life seeking their cooperation while informing them of the law limiting the applications shown who have not passed the incident stage. On this point the Superintendent, Dr. M. Win P. Burnham, states, "as a result of the disease at this hospital I find that incipient disease is practically unknown to the profession to our time and we engage in work to close the line and result many cases are referred and admission to this hospital recommended in disease disease is in various stages of advancement." A convincing proof that the cure for consumption lies in fresh air, good food and rest, and not in medicine, is shown in the book "The Epidemiology of We notice an annual expenditure of but $255.65 for medicine out of...a total budget of $108,640.57. The report is a credible document and the institution Bennett is proud of. We are in New York State may be proud of. It is now for them to make use of it to its full extent and to take to their hearts the lesson that it teaches, that within the community, that the Sanatorium of a size more nearly commensurate with the number of patients that should be obtaining treatment and training within its walls, in the treatment of this State have made a good beginning. For the benefit of those who might take advantage of this free hospital situated in the heart of the Adriadocka we quote from the law governing the hospital to the institution in the State hospital shall apply to the local authorities of his or her town, city or county having charge of the relief of poor, who shall thereupon issue a written request to the Superintendent of the institution of such patient. Such request shall state whether the person is able to pay for his or her care and treatment. No person should be admitted as a patient in the State institution without the certification that such applicant is suffering from incipient pulmonary tuberculosis. Such is the simple procedure necessary to secure admission to this hospital. Why not the people of our district, their lives of our daily opportunity? Why do they wait? Consumption can be cured, but its cure is hardly to be effected without skilled medical advice and training. We care that them have to best advantage in a sanatorium. Such is Ray Brook. Supervision for Mission Schools From Columbia Professional World. A bill is now pending in the Missouri Legislature which provides for the appointment of a professor of the State, and the bill should become a law. The college should have more direct supervision and the only practice it has a colored man to work under the direction of the State superintendent. The right man in the position much good for the advancement of the colored man. The principal of the St. Joseph High School, is the originator of the bill. Spring Fever Symptoms in Texas.

It is estimated that the Annex will be willing to pay the Annex. The second Sunday in May has been set aside as Annex Hall Day, and the entire amount necessary for the com- pletion of the Annex will be realised. That this moiety is not to be questioned for a single moment. This conference raises a single point. The aim of the other colored conferences. These men know how to raise money. Col. Watterson on Southern Chivalry. From The Christing Recorder. In various quartets and through divers agencies the rage has been making itself felt in the past few months as never before. The brave newspapers have graced the battle and the result has been that the race has come together, and through the battering rams of league, councils, movements, societies and what-nots, has thrown itself again for the end of the world through the country and the Congressional action. Nothing had been lost by this many, aggressive movement of the race in defense of its right, but on the whole the gain has been decided. For this admission to be made by one of the leading organs of the South is of more than ordinary moment, and yet this is the utterance of the great-Colonel Watterson in The Courier-Journal recently. This stalwart journalist declared that the Southern people are good children from the future, and they are the rights to which the Negro is entitled by his bravery and merits, and that in the end his contentions will be crowded with victory. Mme. Hackley. Creates the English Channel. From The Detroit Informer. The rather small boat which carried, across the English channel from New Haven to Dieppe, looked more like a pleasure crift than a passenger steamer between the two greatest cities in Europe. There were first, second and third-class cabin, and we took second class. Immediately upon descending into the cabin, the ladies reclaimed upon red velvet couches, arranged in two tiers around the cabin, and the maid tucked each one in, under heavy blues and red blamets and distributed little white bowls for the inevitable massickness. As soon as we started some began to get sick, and the maid was kept busy. The way that little boat plunged and tore across the channel was remarkable, and she made as much noise as a tugboat, but this served as useful purpose for it drowned the moanings of the unfortunate. I watched and listened for a time and then fell fast asleep, and the maid was obliged to awaken me when we neared Dieppe. In Page Responsible for Change in Receivelt? From The Richmond Planet, We meet Nelson Johnson, well that Mr. Thomas Nelson, Page says, for the reason that he has the ear of the distin- guished occupant of the White House, and feels well suited to his role. The great change that has taken place in this great stateman during recent years, his color is concerned. This brilliant writer is noted for his apparent fairness and his attention to detail, and is capturing the Negro in the category of animals and speaks of him in this vein in language so sympathetic and friendly, as to our own leaders at the South. The Land Owner and the Muscle Owner. From The Google Bantist The white and colored people of Georgia are all Georgians, and all should be interested in each other's welfare. White Georgians own largely all the land, and they live in population. Colored Georgians being about forty-six per cent. of the State's population, give value to the white Georgian's land. The land owner and the muscle owner are should move them to the best of friends. True wisdom would teach the man employing them to be his friend is to his interest do so. The laborers should strive always to tender faithful service, and thus secure not only the laborers' real friendship of his employer. It is to his interest to do this. Mutual friendship should good order, personal property, security and suppression of crime in our community, race and whatever condition. Business Enterprises in Portland, Oregon From The Portland New Age. A visit to the several business enterprises being conducted by Negro men and women in this city would be in the nature of a discovery and agreeable surprise to the majority of our people and cause us to give up the belief that conditions are worse now than they were ten or twenty years ago. We find barber shops, grocery stores, restaurants, tillet shops, cafes, loading and roaming houses, furniture stores, real estate and employment offices, boot black stands, hunderless, etc., all being run by Afro-Americans, and comparing favorably with any like establishments in the city, they are sharing many of our people employment and in nearly all cases their patrons can be certain of polite and courteous treatment from the attendants who will be found perfectly competent and in few cases will customers be unable to secure whatever they dealre. These enterprising men and women deserve to a greater degree than has been accorded them the patronage of their fellow-citizens. "Graduate or Quituate." From The Atlanta Independent. If you are not actively or inherently, these will be nothing in you when you come out of college.

Some of Norfolk's Prominent Men of Wealth Production of Necessities to Meet Race Needs Not Equal to Demand—More Industries. Norfolk. March 25.—Vistors from other sections of the country who will buy Afro-American enterprises of this city, while taking in points of interest in this section, will find that the ambitious class of Afro-American Norfolk and african businessmen, in nearly all cases of the wants of the inhabitants. An intelligent Afro-American's wants are infinite, and these wants must be business people and the production of these necessities must be in such quantities sufficient to meet these wants. Labor Afro-American's of Norfolk are not ready to business for their health and LENUEL W. BRIGHT. the pleasure obtainable, therefore, the means of citizenship of Norfolk must appreciate the fact that in order to open the doors of the world, the business must be among the Afro-Americans "a pair of producers working reciprocally," one furnishing the goods, the other buying the goods. "production of material from a free market is well adjusted; there is not enough. Mr. Lennuel W. Bright, a successful, unassuming and progressive man, is a factor in the production of wealth among Afro-Americans. He is always doing business, not in a whirlwind manner, but steadily and systematically; every effort bringing results. His many private estate sections of the city are an inspiration to ambitious people. These buildings are modern in architecture and equipment. Mr. Bright is now BALANCE IN EUROPE I am interested in several letters from Iceland to New York saying the New York papers published an article that the colored man was being excluded from cafes in Berlin. I wish to answer my questions in Berlin, where I have been in Berlin, but I have covered a little over 19,000 miles on this side, touching every principal city and town; in Scotland the same; in England, crossing the Channel to France, from the North of France to the South, of France to the beautiful city of Rome, returning by the way of the Alps and Modane to Paris, where I am at the present time, and I have never been refused as yet. The Champa Elysées is the Fifth avenue of Paris; go to it; do not go at my table in the place, and no one looks sidewise at me or places a screen around me. To endure what I have said I can call upon J. Henry Bailey, who is with the American missionaries in Paris. He is better known in Paris as the Governor of Egypt. If I had a place of business I would reject such persons as are being relied upon. When Afro-Americans come over here let them act decretely, and they will receive as much consideration as other Americans. C. F. TAYLOR. Paris, France. March 8. Bicken Walter's Visit. vacating 18.

Powersworth, March 20.—The joint meeting of the Young People's Christian Society of New York, March 17, was a decided success. The following program was rendered: Invocation, a program of worship, Mr. John William Jackson; coronation, a sacrifice; address of welcome, Mr. Matthew R. Jackson; response, Mr. J.

No race can rise higher than the standard set by its women. is a fact we must acknowledge, so in our upward direction, we must strive to reach them. Mr. Derrick D. Copeland, after a week's service as messenger in the hydrographic office, Custom House, Norfolk, has been promoted to a clerkship in the same office.

In the Life of New Yorker County El Wan a Power Good Successful in Business. To the Editor of The New York Age: The death of John O. Nixon, which occurred in Wilmington, N. C., recently, removed from that community a citizen whose useful and apparent indispensable life was so interwoven in its social, moral, political and commercial fabric that the color of his skin should not, and we hope does not, lessen the appreciation of his worth of direct from the beauty and exhaustiveness of the eulogy that should come from the lips of all citizens alike. Those whose cause he championed in his characteristic, simple and undemonstrative way, loved him for his sincerity, his honesty and high regard for truth. Those with whom he differed upon current questions pertaining to race and politics revered him for his bravery, his logical defense of his cause, his stick-to-titemans and the stubbornness with which he waged war in the defense of what he believed to be right. John O. Nixon came of a large, thrifty and influential family, who, after emancipation, became extensive land owner. John O. Nixon entered Wilmington an ignorant young man with a determination to break down the barriers that stood between him and the public. He had time only to take advantage of the meagre opportunities for education offered in the night schools of Wilmington. But those of his fellow citizens were not so fortunate. What a great intellect was developed, what a great mind broadened and strengthened, what wonderful sensibilities enriched, what useful knowledge moldered and given to the world through that medium. Upon subjects historical, political, philosophical and ethological, John O. Nixon ranked with the best in the country. For many years, and doubtless up to the time of his death, he conducted a large and prosperous business, and was known for his philanthropy. He farnovor for the philanthropy his charisma and consideration for the less fortunate. John O. Nixon was not a politician, yet no man was better informed upon the organization of the Republican in politics, he was independent, was never so strongly allied with the organization as to be blind to its faults, and was not a sincerity of Southern white Republican leaders, and in his arrangement of them he often dipped his pen in vauon. John O. Nixon was not a sincerity of Republicanians he often said, "I seek nothing at your hands, my office is in my store," yet he was called to fill very important the government of the city of Wilmington. Although Wilmington is not ornamented by imposing college buildings it can be truly called the "Athens of the North." The city is that there is a community elsewhere in North Carolina where the craving for knowledge is so universal. In times past no community supported more literary works than the Greek. There the barber could be often seen noring over his law book and profitably dividing his time between his shop and the courthouse. There the Greek test book and the law book were apparently as apparent upon the carpenter's workbench as his compass and square, and no man's knowledge of appreciation, great and high in the law, were apparent by his calling or personal appearance. At the great literary gatherings for which Wilmington has been famous, John O. Nixon had ever been the most conspicuous and most influential Parliamentary law and of the English language he had few equals in either race. As *a* critic, as a counsellor of aspiring young men and women the philosopher in that community. St. Mark's Episcopal church must keenly miss this resourceful, generous and faithful restroom. The Church of St. Mark's and Castle Hayne will miss his kindly welcome at his store, their old rendezvous, where counsel and advice were freely given; where provender for their teams of food and implements was always readily and generously furnished by a trustful and patient creditor. We of the North miss him, miss his always interesting contribution to The New York Age, and involuntarily turn the pages to look "For the sign of a vanquished hand. And the sound of a voice that is still." Dalene League Meeting: WATERACY, March 25.—The members of the J. C.

Inquisitive Pupil and Patient Rabbi "What is the reason, my son," said he to his dull pupil, "that this time my repetitions have been thrown away?" "Because, master," naively replied the youth, "my mind was so preoccupied with the summons you received to discharge another duty." "Well, then," said the Rabbi to his pupil, "let us begin again." And he repeated the lesson a second four hundred times (THE TALMUD, Eiruvin, Fol. 54, col. 2). Black and White Soldiers Stand Together. One thing which President Roosevelt should sit up and take note of is that the white soldiers, officers and privates, who have testified before the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, have given the people of Brownsville a bad reputation, in so far as to leave the impression that few of them are fit to associate with; again, that the white soldiers, in their testimony, have for the most part, leaned toward their Afro-American comrades in arms. Indeed, as we understand it, the white soldiers of the army have the highest regard for their black comrades, and the officers of the latter have invariably given them a good reputation. The black soldier has got less out of the army than any other race, while contributing his full share to the glory of the service, but it remained for the Roosevelt Administration to undertake to degrade him in his honor, the only thing which the Government could not give him and which it cannot take away. The soldiers of the army stand together, that are the philosophy of the thing, her they be black or white. And does color amount to anyhow, in true human nature at its in- The President has made Independ ent, Voting Necessary. When Carter Harrison was Mayor of Chicago he had a large following of Afro-Americans who thought that he was perfect. He got this following and held it up to the time tiat he lost his grip on the Democratic machine of Cook county by treating all of the elements of the citizenship alike. He gave the Afro-Americans a fair and square deal in his administration, which was a long one, and paved the way for a permanent division of the race vote of Cook county, which had always been Republican in character. If the successor of Carter Harrison had reversed his policy it would have done a great deal toward reconsolidating the Afro-American vote as Republican; but, fortunately, Judge Dunne not only stuck to the policy of his predecessor, but improved upon it. As a result of his position he has a larger following among Afro-Americans, we are informed, than Carter Harrison had. Two of the Afro-American newspapers of Chicago and several of the influential pastors are supporting him for re-election as Mayor. As long ago as 1880 the writer advocated the wisdom and the sound policy of division of the Afro-American vote in all of the country, but the race would have none of it, and gave the writer a fearful black eye for his advocacy of the principle, which he adhered to from 1880 to 1898, but he was in the right. If the policy of division had been adopted by the Afro-American people when it was first advocated, and had been adhered to, there would not to-day be any disfranchising and separation or "Jim crow" laws in the Southern States, because the Northern and Western, Democrats would not have stood for such, and the Afro-Americans in all of the States would not have fallen so low in the policies and councils of the Republican party as to receive no more consideration and have no more respect shown them than if they were so many cur dogs. The plain truth of the matter is that the Afro-American people have lost all of the citizen rights in certain States of the Republic and all standing and influence in politics by a blind support of the Republican party. The only way that they can regain what they have lost is to break away from the Republican party and teach it at the ballot-box that if it can get along without them they can get along about it. The Republican party it it was in policy or in lead has done nothing for the ican people in its National ion since 1876; but to leave to be despoiled by their the cities of Boston, New Philadelphia, Indianapolis, and Atlantic Mays have given American people a quarter deal than the leaders of the Republican party of Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois have since 1876. These are facts which we should weigh. Here in Greater New York Democratic Mayors have given the Afro-Americans a fairer show in municipal employment and party consideration than the leaders of the Republican party in the whole State have done since the war. If the Afro-American people are to recover their influence as a political factor in the Republic; if they are to recover the respect of the American people as a voting force; if they are to stay the tendency to make them a pariah class in the life of the Republic; if they wish to reside in this country on equality with other races of the citizenship, they must break away from the Republican party, which deserted them in 1876, and has done nothing for them since, but to leave them naked to their enemies, and to so vote as to make their voting count. The Age is sick of the policies of the Republican party, as far as the Afro-American people are concerned, and it is disgusted and nauseated with the policy of the Democratic party. In many respects the one is no better than the other. This is a stinking fact. Child Labor in the South. A very great stir has been made of late over the use and abuse of child labor in the Southern States, where the question has not heretofore been a problem. The manufacturing development of the Southern States has been of such unprecedented character that it was inevitable that the child labor question would sooner or later engage attention, as it has already done for a great many years in the manufacturing 'States of the North and West. By child labor in the South is meant white child labor. The reformers who have the matter in hand care little about black child labor, or black children. The brutality of this view of the matter is brought out in fearful relief by the indiscriminate placing of children in the chain gangs along with hardened criminals, the same as women are, when they are black, of course. The presumption in the South is that measures of reform in any direction should only have to do with white people; black people being left to look out for themselves, when class legislation does not facilitate their degradation, or go to the demission bow wows of their misfortunes. The unusual development of factory life in the South has drawn enormously on the white labor population, which helps to account for the scarcity of farm labor which we hear so much about, as black folks are barred out of mill labor on the pretext that they cannot do it, but really because the whites consider it a higher grade of labor than farm and other unskilled labor, and so arbitrarily reserve it for themselves. Whole communities of small white farmers have been deserted for the factory towns, and all of the members of the family have been drafted to earn enough to keep the family pot boiling. Any traveler in the rural South will be able to notice this fact. In a great many instances these abandoned farms have been taken over by Afro-Americans. We don't care how far this tendency goes, as in the end people who own the land will dominate the people around them who own no land. It is the way of the world. Frank Munsey's Rotton Washington Newspaper. The Washington Times, an evening penny paper, established about four years ago as a contemporary and rival of The Washington Star, one of the most fair-minded and outspoken of the American newspapers upon the Afro-American and all other questions, has recently published two short advertising paragraphs that reveal its true character. The Washington Times is owned and controlled by Frank A. Munsey, who also owns and controls Munsey's Magazine and The Scrap Book. The paper has from its inception always magnified everything that would tend to injure the Afro-American people. In an advertising folder, giving facts and figures for the agents and advertisers, under the caption "Washington's Wealth," there is this significant paragraph: "Washington, the capital of the Nation, has a population of 335,000, of which 95,000 are colored, and are disregarded in The Times' calculations. What is said below, therefore, applies wholly to the white population." In speaking of the character of The Times' circulation, in pointing out some of the things that are pertinent, we find this: "The Times has not only not sought circulation among the colored people, but it has deliberately avoided it, and in its news columns has shown emphatically that it is a paper for white people." Some Northern white men when they get into the Southern States seek to make reputation in the community of their adoption by a display of vulgarity which should repel rather than invite the confidence and respect of their new neighbors. It is not necessary to advise the Afro-Americans of the District of Columbia not to patronize Fran Munsey's *Times* or other publications; it should be taken for granted that they have enough self-respect not to do so. But what does Frank Munsey think of the policy of his Washington representatives? Does he know of it and endorse it? From the business point of view, it seems to us, the "fisher who akens an attitude of that sort toward quite one-third of the population of the place where he operates is a monstrosity of the sort which should have a conspicuous place in Barnum & Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth. Contempt for such a creature does not express our opinion of him at all. He is too despicable for contempt or for kicking purposes. STATE RIGHTS FROM POINT OF THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS From The Southern American. "States' rights should be preserved when they mean the people's rights, but not when they mean the people's wrongs; not, for instance, when they are invoked to prevent the abolition of child labor, or to break the force of the laws which pro- tect the progress we has made in the past or i The Porters and Fine Ralment. Mr. Henry Goodman, it is alleged appropriated to his own uses some $2,000 worth of cash and jewels belonging to Jack O'Brien, one of the fastic stars of the moment, while the man of muscle and science slept and snored in a Pullman berth, over which Goodman was guardian. It is said that love of fine clothes led to Goodman's undoing. He is described as being of the dandy sort. If he is convicted of the crime of which he is charged, he will have ample time to reflect upon the folly of living beyond his means, and of seeking to make good the deficiency by appropriating to his own uses the property of other people. He may also regret that he has injured the good name and reputation of the splendid body of men of the Pullman porter service. The person who lives beyond his earnings is always traveling toward calamity. The Hamestown Exposition. THE AGE has been flooded for some time past with literature on the Jamestown Exposition from Washington, Norfolk, Richmond, Newport News, and other points. Our correspondents are requested to cut out the whole Jamestown Exposition business, as far as THE AGE is concerned. We are not able nor disposed to give the enterprise the free advertising the promoters appear to think the newspapers should give it. We have no interest whatever in the Jamestown Exposition, and it is a matter of the utmost indifference to us whether it succeeds or fails. The Government of the United States has appropriated a large sum of money for the promotion of the Exposition, and set aside a fraction of it to secure what it calls "a Negro exhibit"; this latter has an official organ of its own, which should be sufficient unto it, and will have to be, as far as The Age is concerned, unless the space desired is paid for at regular advertising rates. We are not taking any part in the celebration of the importation of African slaves, in 1619, into the Colony of Virginia. "The higher law," "emotional insanity," and that sort of thing, has been pleaded for a long time in extinction of the crimes of people who take the law into their hands to average what they regard as crimes against the home, but now "brain storm" has been added to the list. It came out of the trial of Harry K Thaw. After awhile we shall have so many high reasons outside of the law as justification for murdering an enemy that any man can shoot the other fellow and get away by pleading some disorder of the brain. In England, we notice in the decision in the Wakely murder case, the brain business did not work at all. If this was a civilized country in dealing with criminals it would not have any foisting here. Take Thaw and Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, two degenerates, the former of which descended to the perpetration of murder to avenge alleged wrongs against a woman before he married her—they are two of a kind, and the law and the newspapers, instead of treating them as common libertines and prostitutes, are trying to save the one from the gallows by declaring him insane. His money may save him from the gallows. The woman in the case needs no saving. She was irretrievably submerged in vice before she became a woman. Congress has made provision for an agricultural bank for the Filipinos. That is good; but if it had also provided for a postal savings bank it would have done better; and if it had reduced or taken off the tariff on Filipino imports and exports between the two countries it would have done better still. Senator Cullem of Illinois thinks that Mr. E. H. Harriman, a captain of high finance, should be jailed, on his own testimony for looting railroad properties controlled by him. If that sort of program is to be instituted the captains of high finance who have made graft a part of their management of the business they control would be so thinned out as to leave the high privates in control of the business of the country. The business of every country on the globe is conducted on pure principles of thievery, to get as much profit out of every article of barter, or out of false representation of the value of articles of barter, as the victim will stand for. And the biggest rogue in the situation is considered to be the smartest man. Yeah; open the jails for all of the legalized thieves of high finance and you will find that there are not enough jails to accommodate them. The German, Kaiser's gunboat "Panther" is in Haitian water. If President Nord Alexia could get Kaiser Wilhelm in Haitian water with his fighting muschelson on we don't think he would do a thing to the big bluffer. --- Afro-Americans figured too conspicuously in the criminal record of Greater New York last week. STATE RIGHTS FROM POINT OF THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS From The Southern America. "States' rights should be preserved when they mean the people's rights, but not when they mean the people's wrongs; not, for instance, when they are invoked to prevent the abolition of child labor, or to break the force of the laws which prohibit the importation of contract labor to this country; in short, not when they stand for wrong or oppression of any kind or for National weakness or importance at home or abroad."—President Hoovervelt. The President has the faculty of saying things and saying things strongly when the occasion is presented. There is no doubt about it, although he is the country that he presides over. He takes the platform. In his recent Massachusetts address the President has spoken very wisely in his declaration that "States' rights should be preserved when they mean the people's rights, but not when they mean the people's wrongs." It affords quite a source of comfort, too, to note that States' rights, in the opinion of the President, should not be preserved "when they stand for wrong or oppression of any kind or for National importance or impotence at home or abroad." To those who have watched and who understand the aggression upon the people's rights in the various States of the United States, and who are submerging in subverting popular government and submerging the people's rights in government, to those who know that there is not now, and has not been for years, a President who stands for the several of the States of the South, it is inspiring to have the President proclaim against countenancing States' rights when they stand for wrong or oppression or impotence at home or abroad." When the President shall learn that, through the partisan machinations of the present State constitution of Alabama and the cunning and adroitness of its inexperienced leaders, now fully 100,000 white citizens, alone, who are disfranchised by its operations; when he shall realize that less than 3,000 colored citizens are capable voters in this great commonwealth by reason of this great commonwealth by reason of this voice of American citizens, both white and black, then he will understand how great a force are his words in arrangement of this kind of States' rights which stand "for National weakness or imposition" and "for conceive, then, when the President has clearly perceived the facts of this situation, how his powerful voice and influence can be withheld from some masterful stroke to strike down this particular form of the people's wrongs. The disfranchised people of Alabama are powerless to correct this condition. Those who have no voice in their government, the state legislature and the re-enslaved blacks, are to-day politically manacled and fettered as absolutely and helplessly as though they were in a condition of actual serfdom. With 225,000 whites of voting age and 180,000 blacks that are now no more than 90,000 persons voting! The reign of a Bourbon oligarchy has reduced the electorate to this astounding condition. The very fact, of course, is that the majority of blacks are having their government conducted by a voting population of 90,000 citizens, the fact that the present Governor of Alabama was elected on 90,000 ballots, this is, in itself, sufficient to prove the absence of fair play or a "square deal" It is not only "National weakness or impotence at home," it is inviting revolution at home for the Nation to longer remain silent before this condition. It is not only that the Nation willlation of a people's wrath that will finally convince the republic of "the people's' wrongs." This mockery at the people's' rights, this subterfuge of political devilty submerging the rights of hundreds of women, out of the citizen's rights of practically all blacks, cannot and will not be much longer sustained or upheld. NOTES OF THE FARM. From The Hampton Leaflet Country from the Hampton Lakes. The telephone is being optimized. The telephone is being rural free delivery are bringing to rural communities the advantages of city life. While this is true in prosperous farming communities, there are still many sections where change has not even been dreamed of. The farmers helpless making a living from worm outlands, and driving miles over bad roads to get their infrequent letters and to market their inferior crops. Helpless making a living from production per farm laborer is according to the last concensus, $1.085.11 annually. In South Carolina the average production per farm laborer, computed in the same way, is $1.085.11 in Carolina $149.75 in Alabama $169.99 in Florida would be the last to admit that Iowa has any natural advantage over the Southern States so far as farming is concerned. How may Southern farmers be reached and induced to practice better methods of farming may do as well as the Iowa farmers? The manufacturer of the last century prospered and even became wealthy through brains, energy, and machinery. of the farmer of this new century prospered and he imitates the manufacturer. Brains, energy and machinery are making hundreds of farmers rich to-day. They should be enriching thousands instead of hundreds. The earning capacity of the farmer is three times three, three or four times by touching him to plow deeper, to use selected seeds, to raise better stock, and to use improved machinery. This fact is being demonstrated to-day on many Southern farms. If crops have no face predilection. If they are properly cultivated, they grow for the colored man as well as for the white man. The salvation of the colored man lies in the soil. It is possible for him to-day in most parts of the South to buy land on easy terms. If he manages them on business principles he has an assured future. The educated men and women of the colored men- teachers, preschools, lawyers, editors—can perform no higher service than teaching, applying knowledge, energetic, intelligent and otherwise promising young men in their schools, churches and communities to seek through training in agriculture and farm management to revolutionize the colored rural communities of the South. Because of the increasing importance of agriculture and the opportunities for colored men in it, H. E. Bissell recently established a new course for the training of practical farmers. This course was opened in October, 1905. Its success has been such that provision has been made for the training of work is under the direction of Mr. Eidert A. Bishop, for nineteen years Director of the Agricultural Department of Talladega College in Alabama. He underwent a series of colored farmers in the South. Industrial Katr.

ENVIRONMENT OF PROGRESS Found Bayou Example of What Can Be Accompanied by Afro-American Community-Building. In cochiding an interesting article in Van Nordem Magazine for March Dr. Booker T. Washington says: I want to emphasise the fact that in estimating the progress which the Negro has made in the past or is likely to make in the future we too often overlook the conditions under which this progress has been made. For instance, it is well known to any one who has looked into the matter that the Negro people have advanced more rapidly in certain parts of the country than they have in others. The only explanation of this difference is that the Negro people have lived. In Gloucester county, Va., where the population is about equally divided among the races, the conditions are perhaps unusually favorable. For a teacher in this county the pay taxes on this county have been in their schools directly under the influence of Hampton Institute, from which most of the teachers in their schools have been drawn. In this county the pay taxes on buildings that have been assessed at $79,963-50. They own, in short, a community where they constitute half the population, a little more than one-seventh of the real estate of the county. Almost all, of the people on the soil where they were formerly slaves in the short period of forty years. Nor is this an isolated instance. One of the most interesting stories of Negro progress is that of the building of the town of Bayside, where the town is situated about twenty acres from the Mississippi, about midway between Memphis and Vicksburg. The founder of this town is Isaiah T. Montgomery, who was a slave of Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy. The land upon which the town was built was a railroad, and it was at their invitation that he undertook the work of establishing upon this rich but low-lying land a Negro town. New settlers began cutting and disposing of the timber during the war, and the town was made. It embraced at the time about twenty acres; a few years later it was regularly incorporated. At the present time the town embraces about seventy-five acres. It has a population of about twenty-five hundred, and the surrounding population of twenty-five hundred. The community as a whole owns about thirty thousand acres, one-fourth of which is under cultivation. A variety of crops are raised, but the bulk of the crop is cotton, of which about three thousand five hundred bales are exported annually. The sixth annual report of the Mound Bayon Business League shows that there are forty business places in the town, employing an aggregate of ninety thousand dollars, of one hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars, to which must be added the post office money-order business. There are eleven public buildings, including two graded schools and one public school and town hall building, altogether valued at about $100,000. Of the town are generally recruited from the thrifty farmer class, who, having cleared their farms, move into the town for business, social and educational advantage. (NM the Bank of Mound Bayon was established with a capital of ten thousand dollars. It has its own building, a two-story pressed-brick building, with a modern vault, time-lock safe and other fixtures. The total clearings of the bank from September, 1903, to January, 1905, more than three hundred thousand dollars. There are now, as near as I have been able to learn, about thirty-one banks in the United States owned and conducted by Negroes. Twelve of these are in the State of Mississippi, eight are in Virginia, in Georgia, in Kentucky, in Arkansas, in Indiana, Territory and one each, I believe, in Alabama, North Carolina and South Carolina. At the recent meeting of the National Negro Business League representatives of fourteen of these banks met and formed a National Negro Bankers' Association. The purpose of this association is to encourage the establishment of new banks to unite the Negro banks of the county to maintain an organization that will exercise some sort of indirect control over the banks already in existence. The Negro Bankers' Association was formed not merely to encourage the establishment of new banks, but to encourage and protect the existence. The men who formed this organization realize that a catastrophe at this time to one of the smallest and weakest of these banking institutions would befall them all. They are, therefore, desirous of establishing an organization which will put them in a position where they will be able to support each other when the needs of the community the means suggested to effect this was the appointment of an expert accountant who should visit every bank in the association at least once a quarter, and re-identify with all other members of the association. In conclusion let me say that I know of no better indication of gradual progress of the Negro people in the direction of thrift, industry and organized self-help. I have seen that the Negro people. The first need of the Negro people after amanipaction was a knowledge of the elements of civilization. The greater part of the effort of the Negro people for forty years has been spent in acquiring these elements. The Negro people have been educated by Negro teachers, and they have reduced the illiteracy of the masses of the people to less than fifty per cent. Negroes of intellectual capacity have been confined to the school teacher or preacher. The fuit of the existence of these banks shows that they are making success in other directions. In my opinion there is no higher test of the intellectual and moral fiber of the Negro people, but it does successfully in business like a bank, which demands the highest order of intelligence and involves great moral responsibility.

NOTE AND COMMENT OF THE WEEK We are constantly surprised at white newspaper information carried at all Americans, which is no information at all pure guesswork, which the originator of it did not deem of sufficient importance to verify one way or the other. This sort of thing runs riot in the daily press, but it is not the great deal of gravity that Mr. Gilchrist Wright is a lawyer. This is not the case, Mr. Stewart comes of a family of lawyers, but he took up the occupation of deirman, but finding that it did not suit his inclination he dropped it. If he were Mr. Stewart, he would probably tell the inquisitor to attend to his own business. Mr. Stewart is a man of great mental and physical activity. He has of late come into much public notice by connection to the discharge of the battalion of the Tenth Infantry, as the agent of the Constitution League, and first gave ground for the theory that the residents and not the soldiers shot up Brownville. In New York he has had much success in political work and in the care of himself and his interests which is entirely fetching. by the magistrate himself. That innovation, and has stirred up the American imagination, is not before in a long time. If Commissioner Bingham stirs things his department all of the time, who always bad for abuses of the law of sorts. The corruption unearthed in the ministration of the municipal affairs San Francisco is the worst the coh has had since the days of Boer in New York. And the chief grant of the government with the President's conference with the President's Republic over the great question of or peace with the government of Africa Treating with Schmidt on so graft matter is almost as scandalous a friendly conference the President of the clerk Chatham when they were in Washington, summons of the Supreme Court in tempt proceedings. The President miliarity with grafters, Lynchers cowboy toughs illustrates his idea of uncoupled pay and nothing over a promote rate and entirely fetching. Hon. Tom L. Johnson, the Mayor of Cleveland on his own platform, who is always doing "things" in politics, now thinks that the people should not have to be afraid of being bullied, and awhile we may reach the point where it will be made an issue that the dear people should not pay out of the sweat of their faces for the bread they eat. We certainly should not be afraid of thought, a large hunk of the thought being so crazy as to need a straightjacket. Senator Benjamin R. Tillman cannot help being and acting as a blackguard. The weakness is in his "Cracker" blood. While on his present lecture trip, which took place at Martin'sburg, W. Va., he stopped over at Martin'sburg, W. Va., last week and was entertained by the swall club of the place. President Roosevelt's name came up in the general conversation with club members and Mr. Roosevelt, who was comment on the President. A member of the presented this and if others had not interfered there would have been a personal encounter. When a man has such a well-fixed reputation as a blackguard and Senator Tillman, why do gentlemen of clubs and Tillman, as well as gentlemen of them? That is true of all sections of the country, where he is in demand. Sensible people cannot understand it. But there are plenty of signs that as a drawback of Tillman's track and should not be long in fetching up at the bottom. A vulgarian should be compelled to associate with his kind. Helicon Hall, Upton Sinclair's community affair, got burned last week, and an investigation into the life of the experiment disclosed the fact that there is a need for a national country for free and easy living. The colonists appear to think that the way to comfort and happiness is to live as close to nature as possible. As an advertisement for the book, the colonists should hug himself on the Helicon Hall experiment. There does not seem to be any way to keep it out of the public eye and information. The assassination of Edward Howell, the cashier of the People's Bank at Hattiesburg, Miss., is a most regrettable affair. The arrest of Joseph Pettus and the killing of the president and vice president of the bank for complicity in the assassination with some $4,000 and notes of promise due the bank, are also to be deplored. All the parties concerned in the case are said to have been one of the wealthiest and most respected Afro-Americans of Mississippi. But this sort of misfortune happens to all sorts of people, and should not be ignored. The Americans of Mississippi or lessen their confidence in their banks, of which they have about six in the State, we believe. Maestra Whitman, of this town, but forced not very well by the police, but DR. SCHULMAN SAYS OPPRESSION HAS BENEFITTED THE JEWS According to His Logic the Afro-American Has Received a Big Bunch of Benefits in Diguele. The Rev. Dr. Samuel Schulman delivered an address on "The Jew's Service to the World, and the World's Treatment of the Jew," before the People's Institute in Cooper Union, recently. He declared that there was an existing prejudice against Jews, but for which different writers had given different reasons, some of them paradoxical. The real fact, he said, was that the Jew, a good citizen of all countries, kept his religion apart and had attracted perverse natural but entirely unjust antisemitism. "What has the world done for the Jew? said the speaker. "It has done a great deal, for nothing does so much for a race or an individual as oppression. The world has always met the Jew with Christianity, and the Jews with Christianity is largely due to the belief that Jesus Christ was killed by the Jews. "Why should not the teachers of Christianity point out that the trial of Jesus violated the Jewish law, and that, at the time of the crucifixion the Jew had no conflict with the Jewish law, that no one would inflict any sentence on one of the festival days? It should be more important to the Christian by the magistrate himself. That is an innovation, and has stirred up the police and the silokeepers as they have the Commissioner Bingham stirs things up in his department all of the time, which is always bad for abuses of the law of these sorts. The corruption unearthed in the administration of the municipal affairs of San Francisco is the worst the country has and since the war with New York and the chief graffter of the bunch, Mayor Schmidt, was recently in conference with the President of the Republic over the great question of war peace with the United government of Japan. Treason with Schmidt is almost an scandalous as the friendly conference the President had with the indicted- Chattanooga lynchers and cowboy toughs illustrates his idea of the need to promote law and order or to enhance the dignity of his high office. The Afro-Americans of Mississippi have bolted the Roosevelt conduct of the affairs of their party in their State, but they have done so to the control of Democrats or Lilywhites, and they have done right. The Afro-Americans of other Southern States should do so at once. They have every reason to do so. They do dore Roosevelt should be given to understand, emphatically, that he possesses his job, but that he does not be bureaucratic. If they are politically damned, as far as the Republican party is concerned. Under the new government of the Irish Transvaal, in South Africa, the experiment of Chinese labor by contract having proven a failure, it has been decided that there shall be no more of it, after the expiration of the existing contract, and the native African labor can be the work in the field, and that it will be employed. But labor conditions under British rule in Africa are of the cold-blooded sort, brutal to the last degree, the main purpose being to crush them out of the laborer, possible, without regard whatever for the laborer's rights and interests. This sort of thing will continue a long time, but there will be an end of it, but only when the native shall get the laborer, the new premier of General Botha, the new premier of the Transvaal, is one of the old Boer tyrants, who had no regard whatever for the rights of the natives, and we do not expect any good for the natives out of his labor, the policy of repression of the natives is being effected upon Europeans who are now masters of the situation in Africa. "Our Farmer" is a practical man, with a large bundle of common sense in his inside pocket. When he had some leisure in the winter time he went out of his way to write a series of articles for the newspaper. He is sure that all bound to admit were full of practical common sense. Very well. But when the season got around to the breaking ground time "Our Farmer" promptly dropped his pen and took to his plow. He had left the farm and has given us ends with this issue of Tim Ace, but we shall hear from him again. We appreciate what he has furnished to our readers; it has been good to helpful.

Religion should grow into each other's love, but not by means of conversion." A Third Term for Mr. Roonevelt. From The Philadelphia Tribune. We come now to the question, shall Mr. Roosevelt have a third term? On the part he has, we will have a good part to bear an important part in the next presidential content, we say emphatically. While Mr. Roosevelt has many respects to be good President, in the next has not. He has done no more than many of his worthy predecessors. The country has done so many of such men, in a paucity of able men; there are plenty of such men who will fill the office equally as well as Mr. Roosevelt, and the country as well as Mr. Roosevelt, as will under him. Mr. Roosevelt cannot expect to receive the votes of that greater portion of them were republicans. There was no class of American citizens more devoted, more loyal to the interests of the country, than he led than were the African-American citizens of this country. Mr. Roosevelt has grown more powerful, though there could not be beaten from this we believe there is no one would be more dangerous to the future. Democratic law, than Mr. Roosevelt. PETE ADVISES OUR READERS White Man Who Is No Gentleman In South or Anywhere Else— Landlords and Tenants. GREENSBORO, March 18. A very able white editor down in the neck of the woods says, "That a bishop of the Nepalese is not a gentleman." I will go him a little further and assert that any man with the un- iversal hatred of ten millions of his coun- trymen and a loss of confidence by half of the balance, is not available for Presi- dent. In this list you might as well pro- tect the War Thief, Secretary Root whole push of Administration candidates. Senator Spooner has resigned. It's the best thing he could have done. I have had a hard opinion of Senator Spooner, as a constitutionalist, and I have had a difficulticulous to a layman in his Brownville speech. If law is based on common sense and I have to hear this denied, there is not a man in the Senate or out of it. We were told that the President's actions in the Brownville affair were illegal, whether those men were guilty or not. His actions were illegal even if every man in the garrison took part in the affair, that has taken place in the South for 40 years, the lynch came to his death by gunshots in the hands of parties unknown to the coroner's jury. Talk about conspiracy of silence, if that be a crime, does four million in the South guilty Governors of States and judges of courts, the American people, as a whole, will not stand imposition even upon the Negro. Some gentlemen will find it out after it is too late. I am sincere sorry that President Wilson will mislead him so far. The Southern whites are the greatest destroyers on earth when Northern men will listen to them. They murdered S. A. Douglas, Daniel Webster and even B. Chanahan. They will lead, and across the plains and there desert him. He hung killed Mr. Roosevelt they do with him. The speeches they make seeming for him are simply conscience easers. He will, in due time, be of power and never again be able to help them. Anything he says now flat. The crocodile teethes and wedding out our arse sincerely. I certainly had great respect for him till I saw him on. Bishop Turner, the great apostle of African deportation is, in my humble opinion, decidedly wrong, though he has won to his standard a great array of very able men. I want to remind them that it is darkest just before city. History repeats itself. Negro freedom never appeared so far off as it did in 1850, when the fugitive slave bill was passed, with Daniel Webster supporting it. If Hester Beecher Stowe had thought as Bishop Turner then, we might never have heard of "Uncle Yom's Cabin." One of our troubles is, we have not got "stick-to-it-break" enough. If Bishop Turner will instead of his calamity how, turn out something, and &lt;reaching like Harriet Beecher Stowe and get the American people to read and digest it, he cannot assured that they will pass up a verdict as decisive as they did in 1800. The American people spoke 40 years ago on slavery. They have never expressed a verdict on political rights. The Supreme Court no more represents the American people now than it did in "Dred. Scott". You hear a great deal down this about the scarcity of labor. Your U2, Pete has been in this neck of the weds about as long as anybody else, no older, and knows as it's what about these things as anybody. It's, listen, there are plenty of laborers in the South to do all the work there is to be done. They say the Negro is unreliable. It is not true. The Negro is just as reliable as the whites. If you convince the Negro that he is doing the best that he can be will stick, the majority will. Ev's one won't, and who expects them all to stick. Why didn't Wallace and Stevens and Shorts stick to the canal job. I have known white farmers to hire Negroes to work with not a cent to pay with an when pay day came put them off with one excuse and another. I have seen it done countless times. Saturday night worked all the week or month with family, no clothes, nothing to eat next day Sunday and the white man's dodging. If you catch up with him, you might get a store order of perhaps a little rations. Will If you rent land, you must plant such stuff as the landlord says plant. You must use just as much fertilizers as he says. Now, no matter what the landlord says, the fertilizer money must be paid if it takes every penny. In hundreds of thousands of cases it has left the poor Negro or poor white man with nothing at all. The Negro will want to say that the poor white man is just as bad off. Their conditions are identical. The landlord class in many cases are not much better off than the tenant-cheap he was working at. The Negro will want to leave the farm. The poor whites to the cotton mills and the Negro to the towns. Great effort is being made now to get foreign immigrants in the South to work in the South. If any immigrants can come here and live on these abandoned farms, I say let them come, there is room for tens of thousands of them. Manufacturing is trebled in the South and not on the farms for any one. Let who will try them. There are enough Negro girls and boys in Greenboro and every other large Southern city, living on father, brother or mother, to supply the deficiency for I will ever cut out cotton, not based on fearness, but on personal knowledge, that these Negro girls can do this cotton mill work just as well as the whites here or in Europe, and would be glad to have the chance, appease the Negroes, to cut cotton mills and know full well what capacity it takes to work them. I made a special study of these superior operatives and do not hesitate to say that any ordinary Negro girl can take the places of the world going on in Europe for help when it is at your door. The only reason colored girls are not employed is because of social equality. I suggest that mill owners have separate rooms and that they can easily be done. Another reason the colored people are not drawn upon is in the whites want them reserved for cooks nurses and洗衣 women. There is a silk industry in the South. C. C. colored help. They work some thousand and more, giving entire satisfaction. Another reason for this sudden spell for foreign immigration is to balance the need for labor in the South. The Great State of South Carolina flooding in this, as it has in all other Southern communities. A woman sought in nearly every food district in the South employs, the other Southern States will follow whether it leads to glory or the grave. Take the strawberry industry in Eastern North Carolina. The true grownman clamifies the strawberry business, taking six hands, twelve months in the year to work a strawberry farm of ten acres. It will take one hundred women or girls five hours a day, the rest three days. After the harvest is over the trucker will say to the one hundred girls, you can go to h— fill next year, twelve months since. You have no further chance, there any set of girls in Europe who can substitut, lay around two months for two months' work, if so bring 'em on, the Negroes, the white ones, are looking out for the longest job and the boost pay, Mr. Farmer. Another overworked old theory going the rounds is that the Negroes will eventually die out with consumption if something happens to them. My attention was called to it by an article in the local college paper here. From the 'amount of space given to it, one would think it is a new discovery. Some people have said that the white doctors did this old stunt to a standstill. They proved conclusively that the Negroes would die out in about forty years, and thus the race problem would be solved. The white doctors being taken up revamping rot from prejudiced white writers. Instead of the Negroes dying out, we have nearly trebled themselves and crufted from Africa or anywhere else. Our solicitous white friends can't make such a showing. Advice is not the thing the Negro needs; it's example set by his own people. We have stores of all kinds and then the patronage of the race. This is worth-shiploads of advice. PETR. AFRO-AMERCAN BANKER MURDERED NEAR HIS HOME President and Vice-President Accused of the Crime. NEW ORLEANS, March 23—Edward Howell, an Afro-American, cashier of the People's Bank of Hattiesburg, Miss., was assassinated last week, days after he was hired home by Yellow Pine, a suburb of the town. Joseph Pettus and Joseph Williams, both Afro-Americans, and president and vice-president of the bank, were arrested on Monday. Howell, who was 35 years of age, had riven from a laborer in a turpentine camp an hour become one of the wealthiest Afro-Americans in Mississippi. He was greatly esteemed, especially by the whites, in the evidence by the Negroes in evidence of the law. I now develops that the safe in the batit was opened after the assassination of Lowell and $4,000 in cash the bank several times, and owes the bank taken from it. Pettus and Williams alone knew the combination of the bank vault, Williams is charged with having killed Lowell, Pettus and Williams in the murder, and having robbed the bank vault. THE RHODES SCHOLARSHIP. Two Opinipia Upon Mr. Locke's Capture of the Prince. From The New York Evening Post, a Negro has won the thistles scholarship ship at the University of Pennsylvania this year; yet "at this writing," no news has come of a social revolt in that home of lost cause. In the past, black men with a calmness that would seem perfectly astounding and suicidal to some people in this country. But in one respect the successful candidate, Mr. Hancock, has been a great speaker. He announces: "I intend to devote myself to study while in England." To be a Negro beating white competitors is bad cough; but to be a mollycoddle one's soiling, even the impossible beliefs of Oxford. From The New York Sun It will have to be admitted, even in darker Mississippi, that the award of a Rhodes scholarship for the State of Pennsylvania to Alain Le Roy Locke, a Nebraska graduate, for the examinations and stood the supplementary test of character and deportment is an incident that has something to do with the Negro problem. In an assignment, a selection clause Bain Washington said if that philosopher can feel elation, it will depress and exasperate those Southern public men whose view is that a scel. I or a university is no place for a Negro, because he avails himself with the facilities to prepare for a career of crime. We observe that Booker Washington is not discouraged by the figures of the sociologists, nor can he be brought to understand that the spread of education in the South is an anxious problem. In an address at the Harvard Union on Monday evening, his subject being "The Influence of Education on the Negro," Mr. Washington said: "I am pleased for the most part, in the south are committed by the poor and dilute Negroes, by the black man who cannot read nor write, and who does not have a cent in the bank. Today you have a degree from 'Phi Kappa Iota' Institute." Barker Washington $k^3$ doublesh familiar with the records of his graduates, and his challenge shakes confidence in the infallibility of the sociologists. One aims to tempt him to right the wrongs may help him to asset cease and postpone chase, indefinitely. the twenty-one Negress at Harvard, all of them from other States than Massachusetts, and most of them from the South, may not prove to be enemies of society when they get out. Young Lodge, who is a senior at Harvard, may "make good" when he returns from Oxford with his niece, not knowing of devoting himself "to the bettering of the conditions and general education" of his race. MOB LYNCHES TWO FOR MURDER. Taken Upon Suspicion and Executed on Allied Confermier. NEW ORLEANS. March 11—Clint Harris and Henry Gardner, Negroes, were locked at Monroe, La., early today for alleged connection with the murders and other crimes recently committed in that vicinity. They are said to have confessed to killing two Italians, Frank Lombardo and Joseph Dallin, in an alleged Negro fruit store. They implicated a third Negro, who has not yet been caught. The two Negroes were captured late in the evening on suspicion. They confessed and shortly after midnight a mob of fifty men gathered in the courthouse square. The mob leaders demanded the keys of the jail, and failing to get them broke into the prison, took out the prisoner and set it on fire in the bodies of the lynched Negroes was found this morning the sign: "Bad Negroes not wanted in Monroe." Russiaan Kavyes Lunch with Dr. Wash- tartes at Mrs. Kirs.'s. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Erskine Fly of New York city, recently invited the two Russian envoy, Mr. Aladin and Mr. Tohakovskaya, who are in this country in interest of the Russian revolutionist Mr. Will Mills, the founder of Garland, Mr. Lawrence of The Outlook, and a dozen other prominent persons of New York, to meet Dr. Booker T. Washburn at luncheon, and notwithstanding the Thew he be accepted the invitation. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1907. A Splendid Tribute Paid Her by Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams at Present Women's Convention at Recent Woman's Convention A half century ago when Frederick Douglass was beset on all sides by oppositions that seemed well nigh overwhelming, he triumphantly said: "I sometimes forget the color of my skin and remember that I am a man; I sometimes forget that I am hated of men and remember that I am loved by God." It is well on an occasion like this to invoke the spirit of the man who thus defied the contempt and scorn of his times. What we need to know in order to be brave is that beyond the every day annoyances of the men and women who oppose our progress, is the ever increasing few of those who love truth and are ever defending it. This memorial service dedicated to the memory of Susan B. Anthony is strong proof that those who work for the emancipation of the souls and body of men shall not die without honor. What narrow "pentu-Utica" was this country of curs when the mind of Miss Anthony was opened to the hateful conditions that threatened with destruction the republic founded by Washington, the Adams and their compatriots. How many splendid things have become possible since the spirit of liberty for which good became larger and more inclusive. My own position on this platform of loving memory has no other significance than that her gracious spirit survives in her followers, and that to-day the women are most in need of her kindly support, the very women for whom she was so much concerned during her public career. When Miss Anthony took up 'the cause of emancipation of American women, she did not know women by color, but by race and by west birth. She stood for the emancipation of women from the thralldom of sex. But it was not only in a general way that Miss Anthony was interested in the condition of the colored people in the society, as the champion of the specific cause of anti-slavery. She became the woman Lincoln in her hatred of slavery and in the service she rendered for its abolition. Her hatred of slavery and in the institution of slavery and non-violent abolition. She did not have to be converted to the belief that slavery was a vile thing and that race hatred was a soul brightening thing. Her love of freedom for man, woman and child was instinctive and during the half century of her unrestricted life she could be so passionate for black men as well as for white women, she never wavered, nor doubted and never compromised. The things she stood for were fundamental and without doubt they could be so practiced curiously and be so appreciated. She held it to a mockery to ask man or woman to be happy, contented or trustful if not free. In short, in the whole sweep of human experience and possibility, Anthony saw no substitute for liberty. It is not strange then that Miss Anthony knew no one by their complexion or nationality or that she need and can be in the anti-slavery struggle. The mighty men and noble women of that period like Garrison, Phillipine, Sumner, Emerson and Lovejoy, Prudence Crandall, Mrs. Stanton, Lucerne Mott, the Grimke sisters and the Jesuits, and comrades of the uncompromising Miss Anthony. She was instantly ready in season and out of season to go anywhere and do anything within human power to change human slavery. Her personal zeal in the cause was so great that she made it her business to know the colored men and women within her reach, who in them were slaves. She found in the Negro race. She found in Frederick Douglas not only the elements of a superior man, but also a concientious champion of woman suffrage. Liberty and equality were nothing. It could not be divided by race lines and sex lines. Had Miss Anthony stood for the emancipation of women, and the entailment of black men the cause of emancipation, it have been the most illogical and discredited issue in the history of moral conflicts. With sublime heroism she faced the issue honestly and with almost superhuman strength. What an awful cataclysm she faced, fighting for the freedom of the colored race: "The Fugitive Slave Law," "The Brad Scott Decision," the Fight for Free Soil in Kansas, the mob spirit that every one of us had applied to, and the color of children in public schools and the murder of Lovejoy! These are only a few of the vexations and conflicts, all of which Miss Anthony saw and felt and part of which she was. In no part of her life she was more earnest, more versatile, more effective and useful to her country and to the cause of the higher humanity everywhere than in those terrible years when she was a child. The military threw of a new birth of freedom. When slavery was overthrown and the work of reconstruction began Miss Anthony was still unwearied and watchful. She can be the model of the proposed amendment and the laws that were to give them force and effect, with unfaltering zeal. She had an intimate acquaintance with the leading and most influential members of the proposed amendment and the advice were respected and heard in much of the legislation that gave a status of citizenship to the millions of alates set free. She contended always for the larger suffrage follow freedom and the consequences will take care of themselves. Such was Miss Anthony's work, her interest and her influence that began with her involvement in the movement. Let it not be understood that Miss Anthony's work was completed when the laws of reconstruction were passed. No one, more clearly than she, saw in after that many of the things gained by the word were to be lost by political surrender." In a remarkably statemanlike letter to General Garfield, during the Presidential campaign of 1881, she spoke of his party's liberty, "the liberty," but complained: "that 'since INTO the party's congressional enactments, majority reports, Supreme Court decisions and party platforms show a retrogue movement, not only in the party, but in the nation, that felt the cost of the Negro freedom was tremendous and to take 'away' from it all the National support built for its protection, which now is less than wicked. We must personally the people for whose liberty she did so much. Most of the colored men and women who became prominent in those dark days before the '60s were proud of their bravery, of their brave hearts, she measured their moral worth and she knew their secret longings to be known and requested as a people who know and felt the meaning of honor. The autumn in which Miss Anthony was held by the colored people of the country increased with their intelligence and the intelligence of their people, and deem. Like the great Lincoln, Miss Anthy could always be seen and heard by our people. If in some places they could not get to her she would the more eagerly go to them. Her wholesome advice, her inspirational optimism, her readiness, her name and memory a cherished heritage to many an aspiring but discouraged woman of the dark race. In one of her addresses she said: "Make truth and freedom the polar stars of your lives and willilie be anything or nothing in the world's estimation; avow your sympathy with the despised ideas and then bear the consequences." At her anniversary held 20 years are in Philadelphia, she said: "I have known for the past 20 years are the struggles for human rights on this continent." in this work of living a basis of intelligence to our progress there is more of sacrifice, genuine heroism, treachery and romance than you can imagine. So great is our passion and anxiety to be known for the good we do and assure to do. Shall then this new woman of our own country be shunned and mistrusted? Is she to come untrammeled into the domain of that more inclusive citizenship for which Miss Anthony contended for her life? Is this woman in whose behalf I speak, and whom I all too feebly represent on this platform of equal suffrage, is after all an American woman. The best instincts of average ambition pulmate in her brain and heart, it is true she is not fair, but she is not true. Her crisis, you will find that these women, who have always been forced into the background, will come forward to save the day to virtue and intelligence. The women of my race have never failed when tested in the things that count in human life. The women of my race are none too rich in the subtleties of supreme merit, and our American music which has not yet reached the classic levels may yet need for their greater variety and deeper soundings that which may yet be written into them out of the self-encintrated race. It is easily within the range of possibilities that the next extension of suffrage in this country will be brought about by the enfranchised women. The colored women will the next generation with their enlarged intelligence, with their fresh enthusiasm to be an effective part in everything that makes life better, and be depended upon to follow the leadership of this organization. You will find that these women will bring to the high cause of equal suffrage not ignorance but intelligenza and partisanship but patriotism, not the spirit of office seeking, but of law enforcing. In conclusion let me, in behalf of the women whom I have the honor to represent, in the spirit of office seeking, again remind you that the men and women who have done most for the Negro in his struggles from slavery to freedom and civil rights, we would invoke, again remind you that the men and women who have been most enabled in our civilization. Indeed, the men and women who fight for the cause of the oppressed in forum or battlefield will all hold the honor places in American history. Let me also in behalf of colored women plead with you not to allow yourself to shrink from the idea of universal suffrage on account of our ignorance. I need to be a political sin in this country, have been committed not by ignorant men, but by men who can read and write, who have been to Sunday school and who are past masters in working out any problem in the algebra of fraud and graft. We have been told that colored women, like the best white women, always insisting upon the rule of the intelligent and competent. We have an ever-increasing number of progressive women prepared to do high service in the cause of justice. In this behalf I confidently invoke the spirit of Susan B. Anthony that we be given a woman's chance to prove our worth in every sphere where the mind and heart can unite to increase the power of love and enlarge the reign of justice in this alliance. BARRIER WILLIAMS. King Menelik of Abyssinin Bestows it on Plus. Rome, March 21.—The Pope today received in solemn private audience in the Throne Room Father Maria Bernado of the Capuchin Order, who presented the pome with an autograph letter from the Menelik of Abyssinin, conferring his holiness the decoration of the Star of Ethiopia. The letter was an answer to a communication from the Pope, who asked the Abyssinian king to protect the Catholic in Abyssinin, and inquired regarding the majesty, and the progenies made by Abyssinin. Cardinal Gotti, prefect of the propaganda, presented Father Bernado to the pontiff and was present during the audience. The Capuchin made a short address, to which the pontiff replied in applause, and visited the papal secretary of State, Cardinal Merry del Val.

He is superbly sensitive on the subject of his languish. "I does not like to be chosen in a South Carolina "grapes" company and I am not a "pet white trunk" of the South, who are loved upon with less respect by the abolitionist than the blackest of Nervosa. Tillman has long been regarded as a part of the very common race of the political set with the ranting and bobtail of his States, and his smooth manners are in keeping with the gang with which he has allied with. Tillman has never been recognized generally by the black or of the Democracy or the Republican. He has made himself persons non grets in decent society by his valuability and unbeatable coarseness of conduct in the Senate and out of it. He has now been elected to the charge of being of the "traacker" class. In the course of a lecture at Winchester, Va., he said: "I deny the report that I am a deponent of a South Carolina 'cracker family. I asked my mother about my family, and she told me that my ancestors from both sides came from the Revolutionary War and fought on the right side in that struggle and that the men were brave and the women virtuous. I claim that I have as good a pedigree as any white man in the world." Ancestry may help some, but a man is what he is in nevertheless taking the responsibility for continuing the Revolutionary heroes and heroes does not alter the fact that Tillman himself is a disgrace to modern civilization.

How many of us remember that just nine years ago last Sunday-St. Patrick's Day—there passed from earth to the world beyond the race's most successful political force and army Blanche K. Bruce He died after a very brief illness on March 17, 1888, in the beeyard of his prowess as a leader of his people. He had just gotten settled in his office an Merckist time when the eminent came and it seemed the veritable irony of fate that he should be thus cut off in his prime, when the future loomed up in such rosette colors for all concerned. B. K. Bruce was a greater man than the fraternity choreographer being. I notentatively he was the inspiring genius behind more than one movement for racial benefit, for which the more above leaders claimed the glory. Bruce was an satisfied life for a plantationist the multitude. He was a statesman of the loftiest type, and won his canes by reaching the hearts of men and binding them to him with a friend, a loving husband, with a lifelong friendship and a fidelity that was as beautiful and steady as it was rare. He took pride in serving humanity, and sympathized especially with the aspirations of young men of material—and he was an infallible student of human nature. B. K. Bruce went away all too soon for the good of his race, but he left behind him a hortitage for all in the upright and dignified manner that are long his career will be adequately reviewed, by some one who was close to him throughout his journey from the plantation to the United States Senate, as Recorder of Deeds of the District, as his signature was necessary to localise the paper money, bonds and other securities of this massive government of ours. It is possible that this work will eventually be taken up by his wife, O. Smith who is familiar with every detail of the life of his distinguished patron and comrade. Bishop Abraham Grant was in town a few days ago, and he said to have paid a visit to the White House to put in a helpful word for Dr. O. J. W. Scott, who is an aggressive candidate for the army, chaplaincy soon to be vacated by Dr. T. G. Bessward. Dr. Scott is a young man, it has held some of the A. M.

A Pulp Inference. She "That Mr. Scarup is the most chick on heartful follow I ever met." She "was on an incubator baby." THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1907 On account of the approach of spring the writer is obliged to bring this series to the reader, and to explain that he has just laid the foundation upon which the science of farming is built; but this much is sure, that unless the farmer is well grounded in the things that success will be anything but satisfactory. Like every other business the rudiments must be thoroughly learned before the farmer can be successfully grasped and solved. The writer has seen some mothers and fathers "farming mad" because the new teacher put his or her child back a class class, or the highest class" the year before. Now, in some cases, the situation was this: The teacher simply put the child where on examination, he found he or she was able to keep up. The teacher was supposed to keep up. Witnessed is the mother or mother it was a matter of sentiment, pure and simple. Similarly, there are many men who say, "I have been farming for twenty-five or thirty years"; or, "I was a farmer"; hence they revert the inference that they might be a little short on certain points relative to farming. One frequently hears the remark: "I know about farming"; the fact is that few, if any, hope to know all about farming. The field is too broad. Farming, like other professions, is swiftly approaching the point where men engaged in the business are beginning to specialise, viz., take up some one branch, or corn, cotton or grass. On this account the writer would urge the farmer to take at least one of the farm papers. They are usually cheap, coming within reach to convey new ideas and tell what other men need to do in the line. They also keep up with all the new wrinkles in the farmer's field of endeavor. At some time in the near future the farmer will be in the upper lot where he now drops it; in the meantime let the farmer pay more attention to his stock, tools, manure and time. In fact, let himhew close to the line, especially in the matter of saving, and there will be plenty of money for him rid himself of the buying-on-time habit. Let him cease to buy things that he does not need. Learn to shun the gin dens, educate his children, and he will find that there is no position that affords more measure than the one in which he In conclusion, the writer would say that he has tried to tell what he does know about farming in these series of articles, but what he does not know on the subject would fill a very large library. Plow deep, cultivate the soil and the mind properly and all will be well. A FARMER. Herges Pa. March 21. "The Age in All Right." To the Editor of The New York Ace: I am the longtime implementer of The Ace. You have now attained a standard that is hard to surpass, considering the various disadvantages that I am inclined to think about. The edition of March 21 is to my mind, a banner one. I have always appreciated the importance of diligent expectation until both weeks' issue is received, and then, having included myself, seated in my favorite chair, with a keen relish for the refinement, with a keen relish for the wisdom stored in its measured pages. Trusting this humble note of praise and that other written may join the refrain "The Ace is all right" is the sincere wish of a FRIEND of The Ace. Williambridge, Noten Plain&cld. Notes.

Worcester Notice The Erangelistic services that have been in progress for the last two McWickes at the Warwick, conducted by Mrs. Roan Taylor, the singer of the Harriet's Carriage, and Mrs. Harriet, the local preacher, Brother J. H. Harriet, Miss Emma Harriet, and Mrs. Harriet were brought to a close on Friday evening with an old time love front, conducted by the independent and were a success. To the master of the new York am: I have just had opportunity to read the contribution of Mr. Thomas Nelson Page to the current number of McClure's works, and to see how he for me to attempt to refute the old argument which he advances of the inherent inferiority of the Negro; that has been repeatedly and effectively done by pens far abler than mine, but there are one or two articles in the article about which I would like to rank. Naturally one would expect the "special plan" of a man in behalf of his home to be somewhat structured by partiality and partiality in the question of what article question is prejudiced to extravagance. It is very evident that Mr. Page has never comprehended the one fact which it is absolutely necessary to understand in order to understand the problem"; that is that Negroes are people—just plain human beings, who appreciate kindness and recent injustice. There are legends among us of "old time Negroes" who under the elevating system of slavery, still retained manhood enough to resent and protest against their condition, and there are stories of some who died rather than were killed. There are also stories of others who killed overseers and masters and escaped to freedom. There were more than one kind of "old-time Negro", just as there are many other kinds of people. There are many kinds among every race. Until Mr. Page grasps this fact it is impossible for him to understand how a Negro feels, no matter how many "black" and other Negro relatives he may have. While railing at what he calls Northern sentiment he nauseates us with sentimental references to his affection, sympathy and generosity, and with envy, "Away with such 'affection', and so spect!" Give us justice! No doubt the group of Southerners whom he describes as each supporting a Negro or two somewhere in the South vied with each other in the South, and the group of "Manumy Dinah," "Uncle Pompey," etc., aid the very next day each of these Southern gentlemen would doubtless have been willing, under the slightest, pretext to death or burn at the stake the "Manumy Dinah" or "Uncle Pompey" of his dear friend! There was a time when Southerners boasted that "the mob was headed by our leading citizens"; grown wiser now, and having grown more powerful, the public sentiment of the whole world, protest, as does Mr. Page, that the best elements are against all such. For the sake of the South I hope this is true, but I doubt it. My charge is again brought up that it is a racial propensity for us to shield the criminal. There are hundreds of thousands of us as far removed from knowledge and contact with the criminal as Mr. Page. How are we to detect much less deliver them up to justice? Who does not author the crime of rape? To my mind the only crime which is worse than the physical assault of a black man upon a white woman is the crime of physical dehumanization, by a white man under Negro woman. Think of a man who represents all that is behind Westminster Hall and the Capitol at Washington descenting to the level of voodooism and the level of racism. The crime of dehumanization than which there is nothing more intimate with such woman! If a race so infinitely superior, as Mr. Page describes his own, is incapable of exerting a "general atern strepre public opinion" against a black man, the crime, how can we, so far inferior, be expected to cope with the former? Mr. Page informs us, for our encouragement, that though we all should rise to the top of the world, we must not sington (a thing as impossible with us as with the whites), there would still be a race problem. So, then, we are accursed if we do and accured if we don't! Of the whole article lies in the following paragraph: "The tide rises first over the low ground of the plain. So the first rise of the tide of miscognition will be among the Negroes; the major portion of the attacks on women are on the women of that class. The white men who protect those women are in the skirmish line that the blacks are in, and the white should give way, the peril of miscognition would be nearer than it is to-day." If it be true that the majority of the attacks are on white women, whose daily life is no longer the Negroes, why should she be protected from them? Is it fact that miscegenation is the outcome of physical assault? From what is the skimmish line protecting these women? From themselves? Are they willing for miscegenation? Is no one the skimmish line may impose on her? Is it necessary to tempt to protect any woman in that sense is useless, for every true woman has within her a God-given instinct that enables her to forever protect herself from unwelcome advances, and if she has not that ability only salvation lies in solitary confinement. Again, Mr. Page is terribly frightened at the vision which he conjures up of "all parliars all of agree" on the white women. How can such a thing come to pass unless the women will do it? Is it not the innumerable privilege of white people to be treated with respect? Mr. Page is doing the women of his race a gross injustice, and I shall be much surprised if they do not deeply accept it. Washington, D.C. March 29, 1907. Nørnlich Notes. It was with much respect that the sad loss of the death of the late Mrs. M. Matthew, the mother of the K. N. E.

A Virginia Democrat, the Charlestown Progress, advises the Democratic party to nominate Mr. Roosevelt in 1908. The swift progress of political tolerance in the South is shown by such a proposal; and still more vividly is shown the absolute bankruptcy of the Democracy. Absolute bankruptcy, for the Democracy consists mainly of Mr. Bryan and his theories; and all of these that have any political value are the result of a practical rival, as good a politician as the Lincoln Lincoln is an emotional actor. Seventeenth as the Virginia proposition may blind it. If the Democratic party is nothing but Bryanism, the Democrats may as well turn to the successful and popular adapter Lee. If the Democratic party is the South has a lingering sentimental attachment, a poetical feeling never amounted to, and a lack of warmth that felt has not yet become so thorough a paternalist as the friend of Government. There is no excuse for two Roosevelt parties; and poor Mr. Bryan is but the mollions of the athlete. If it could be a Democratic party Mr. Bryan and his populistic lust must be thrown away.
