Not Enough Opportunities for Increasing Efficiency New Fighting Conditions in Political Affairs Cause No End of Anxiety—Securing Better Homes. Osmann, April 1.—A colored man has just won a new honor in Chicago. By grace of our Democratic mayor, Judge Duane, Richard T. Duane has been appointed captain of Engine Fire Company 81. Duane was born in 1894, and he made an exceptionally good record. No other colored man has ever held a similar position of honor and responsibility. The position has been awarded on merit, and not on a political favor. Mayor Duane has displayed five courage in opposing a police officer who had made an exceptionally good record. A year ago police circles were astounded by the mayor's action in promoting William Gileson to the responsible position of desk agent. This position is one of great responsibility and it was predicted that he would be a burrowing situation. But the new desk captain proved himself equal to the position and is making a fine record. It is interesting to note the surprises and disappointment of white men because colored men win their way to success in mixed situations. They seldom fail to win. In this great city there are colored men who are quietly and unobtrusively doing things that they never expected to be able to do. There are bookkeepers, expert accountants, electricians, farmers, waitresses. Colored men are to be found in the schools, in the stock yards, and indicted in almost every trade. In other words, the Afro-American is efficient. In fact he is really growing in efficiency more rapidly than there are opportunities open for his candidates. He is easily found in where in these higher callings, yet in spite of even organised opposition, he is all the time unexpectedly slipping through the half-closed door of opportunity, and once in, he easily and quickly proves himself to be able to do. The proof is everywhere and conulating that this race is continually rising higher than its opportunities. The closing days of an exciting local election campaign are upon us. As stated before in these letters, the Afro-American is not a candidate for rejection. He has caused the Republicans no end of anxiety. He came into the campaign in a sulking mood. One prominent man after another has come out into the open and declared himself for Mayor Dunne, and declared himself for rejection as mayor of Chicago. Professional leaders of the race have been urgently summoned and coaxed to devise some p a site of the distractions of politics and the shifting of political allegiance, there is daily evidence that our people in Chicago are getting hold of the substance of things. The published record of real estate transfers shows that a great deal of real estate is passing to the ownershi's of African Americans. Prominent in the purchase of a $12,000 residence by Mrs. George C. Hill, and one at $600 by Mrs. Martha Ford. Other purchases ranging in price from $3,000 to $5,000 are quite numerous. The colored real estate dealers all report that they are doing a good business. The demand for homes and better homes has become a sort of pension. The demand is far below the supply. The conditions here are excellent for the occupation of a realty company, with sufficient capital to erect needed homes for our increasing African American population. Recent dwellings must certainly find to produce better social conditions and would certainly afford a fine income for investors. FANNIE BARRIER WILLIAMS. Hundred Dollars in Gold for Faithful Sexism. LOUCIESTILLE, KY. April 1.—Thornton Thompson, colored, who recently resigned his position as seventon of St. Paul's Epiphany, has served faithfully his service for thirty-one years, number of $100 in gold sent to him by many of his friends. The following note accompanies the money: Thornton Thompson, from the parish of St. Paul's church, and many of his old friends, will be for as many years—and as a gracious interment, washing him and his wife in loving memory. THE NEW YORK AGE. Great Friend and Loverhe of Southern Education Suffering from Overwork. The following special notice is published to day: For reasons of health, Robert C. Ogden, to our great regret, retired, now our own physician, and we extend our heart throb cause at this date—JOHN WANAMAKER, Philadelphia, New York and Paris. March 30, 1907. Mr. Ogden is 70 years old and has for some time been a patient of the Wanamaker store in New York. On February 29 his condition was critical, but he is now much better. Weakness of the heart, due to overwork and fatigue, was the diagnosis of his physician. Mr. Ogden said last night the store had been made, nor had he planned for the future, except that he would devote himself to getting well. When Mr. Orden was a boy in Philadelphia he put in his holidays from school to work at the Wanamaker store at $1.50 a week. At 14 he became a dry goods clerk. Later he became a partner in the firm of Deviln & Co., re-creating the business he became a member of the Wanamaker firm in Philadelphia, and in 1880 he returned to New York to be resident manager of the new branch, formerly A. T. Stewart's present Wanamaker store is the result. "I have not been out of employment for a day in over fifty years," said Mr. Ogden once, "nor has it ever been necessary for me to sit in place. I have always had knowledge. Last May Mr. Ogden's notable interest in Southern education resulted in his reelection, despite his protests, to the presidency of the Conference for Education in the South. He was president of the General Education Institute of the General Education Board and of the Southern Education Board and in a trustee of Tuskegee Institute. GENERAL EDUCATION BOARD GIVES LITTLE TO AFRO-AMERICAN SCHOOL New Policy Contingent Upon Schools Raising Larger Sum than Board Gives Bars Them Out. The General Education Board has adopted a policy in the distribution of the fund for higher education, donated by Mr. John D. Rockefeller, that benefiting institutions than the board contributes, will come very near barring Afro-American colleges from benefiting by the fund. The board has just announced the amounts it has given for higher education, and in the list it has received $52,500, southern colleges have received $52,500, contingent upon their raising $21,260,000. The grand total of monies guaranteed to all colleges by the board is $1,702,500, provided the benefiting colleges shall raise $21,260,000. It is announced in the statement of the board that "since its organization the board has contributed to schools for the colored people over $280,000. At the meeting held to-day gifts were made to coloring institutes, engaging with them. It looks as if the hundred and more Afro-American schools dependent more or less upon the philanthropy of the North and West are in for a hard struggle to live, as the available funds for educational work are now concerned. The managers may or may not give to such schools as they please. WHITE WOMAN SAVES HIM FROM INDIANAPOLIS MOB Defence Home and Holds Crowd at Bay Until Police Arrive. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 30—Mrs. Ruth Prindlede saved a Negro from a mobs of glass workers last night and held the mob at bay till the police arrived. In a row at the glass works the Negro stabbed a white man, and friends of the latter took up the quarrel and attacked the assailant on every side till he turned the assailant into run into the Prindlede home and fell into the door. Mrs. Prindlede at once shut the door and held her ground while the mob hurled stones and threatened her with death. WILL NOT SELL BISHOP'S COURT. Bishop William B. Derrick Refuses $25,000 for His Flushing Property. Bishop William B. Derrick, the well-known African Methodist divine, has received an offer of $25,000 for the property he occupies on the northeast corner of State and North Prince streets. Flushing, that the offer comes to Bishop Derrick from a syndicate of Roman Catholics who desire the property for a Catholic institution. Bishop Derrick's property consists of about an acre of land, with ample frontage on both State and North Prince. The Bishop wants a $40,000 offer before he will give it serious consideration. JAIL FOR EUROPEANS. Stern Justice for Avengers of Injustice White Women in East Africa. www.sternjustice.org MOMINHA, East Africa, April 2. —The recent flagging of natives by Europeans at Nairobi for alleged insulting of white women had been followed by the prosecution of those accused of the flagging and the assembling of a result Cast, Grogan, president of the Colonists' Association, has been sentenced to a month's imprisonment and to pay a fine of 5,500 rupees. Two other prominent colonists, Messers, Bowker and Gray have each been sentenced to two weeks in prison. Two of their abettors, who are also prominent, were sentenced to a fortnight's imprisonment. The whites are very indignant over the sentences. Capt. Grogan is a well known colony and writer. He walked from down to Cairo, 5,200 miles, in 1898. GALESHA A. GROW DEAD He Was the Father of the Homestead Law and Wise Sneakers of the Horns Law and Was Speaker of the House. SCANANTON, PA., March 31—The Hon. Galusha A. Grow, father of the Home- stead law and during the rebellion Speaker of the Home at Washington, died at clock this morning at his home in Galusha, where he was born. He been ill for nearly a month. Less than five weeks ago he was walking about the streets of this city, erect and active. Death was due to general debility and leaves a large estate, much of which he accompanied late in life by investments in bitumilpous coal. Up to the last he took an active interest in political matters and served in the House for articles on his Congressional experience. NEW YORK, THURSDAY, APRIL 4. 1907. THE CRAZY HUNTSMAN Wants Support in the Effort to Secure Fair Deal for All Citizens Under the Constitution. The Constitution League appeals to patriotic citizens throughout the United States for moral and financial support in its defense of the constitution's rights of all citizens in pursues of locality, race, sex, political or religious creed. We make the following statement in answer to many inquiries and for new friends of the cause. The present incorporated league is the outcome of the preliminary organization of 1885. It is the organization of the American conscience and patriotism, organised to achieve specific results. The league believes that the Constitution of the United States is "the supreme law of the land" and that "the judge in every State shall bound thereby, by any law of any State to the contrary notwithstanding" (Article VI.1); that "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican form of government" (Article IV.); that the Constitution guarantees free speech and the peaceable peaceability to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances" (Amendment I.); that "the trial of all crimes" "shall be by jury" (Article III.1), and that all persons accused of crimes shall be punished by an impartial jury, and "have the assistance of counsel for his defense" (Amendment VI.1); that "excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishment, inflicted" (Amendment VII.1); that an accused shall be punished (except an imprisonment for crime) shall exist within the United States" (Amendment XIII.1); that "ALL PERSONS born in the United States are citizens" (Amendment XI.1); that in States closed, its Representatives in Congress "shall be reduced in the proportion" prescribed in the Fourteenth Amendment; that "the right of the citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abolished by any State amount of ripe or old or previous condition of servitude" (Amendment XV.1); that Congress, by special provision of the Constitution itself, is given "power to enforce the provisions (of the last three) articles by appropriate Congress and political parties should be held accountable for long neglect of this constitutional obligation. The League recognizes the valuable assistance given by the Federal Administration in the prosecution of violations called "pleonage case," first initiated by independent effort. All friends of the cause hope that violations and disregard of other constitutional provisions will not in the future remain ignored either by the Supreme Court or with trial by jury ignored, freedom of speech denied, the mandates of the Supreme Court defied, with the constitutional rights of citizens "deepest," abridged or more dangerously circumvented, with a weekly average of three citizens put to death, without legal trial, every week for nineteen years, it would seem that the time for organized protest and action had arrived. A credit of sympathetic America that we have been horrified at the Jewish massacres and Armenian assassinations, but the outside world has also stood againt at the race mobs, lynchings, and massacres in Christian America. The League defends the unified influence of Christian civilization, North and South, to uphold the law, adequately punish the guilty and make every citizen respect the guarantees of the Federal Constitution, without regard to person or locality. The League proposes, by means of organized lawful resistance and positive action, to aid in suppressing lawlessness, mob violence, lynchings, and all forms of crime, to show, make life in the United States, five times less secure than in Australia, six times less secure than in Canada, nine times less secure than in England, fourteen times less secure than in England, in Germany. (See address of Judge Thomas at Nashville.) The League's "defense of the black batallion" has earned for it the moral and financial support of the nation. The great, history-making "Brownville afray" will rank with the international awakening which required ten years' hard work to lead the organization, of the prosecuted Fortune J. Dreyfus. The League reminded us nojust, unconstitutional, and without "due process of law," the condemnation and punishment of the members of Companies B. C and D, Twenty-fifth Infantry, discharged AND BERN RABBIT, HE LAY LOW. "without honor," It demanded an open bearing for these defenders of the flag, and sent two commission, part white and part colored, to the scene of the disheath, and sent two commission, also to El Reno, Oklahoma, to ascertain the facts. The facts and advisers gathered by the League were held before the President and the Senate of the United States commission of which the President sent two messages to the Senate (Document 155), hastened his Assistant Attorney-General to Brownville and revoked the most drastic feature of his sweeping order of disheath. The Senate cipitated one of the most important debates on "Executive authority" that the country has witnessed. It has brought the people of the United States again into the foreground of undamental questions of liberty, justice and humanism. The investigation of the entire proceedings through the Senate Committee on Military Affairs is now under way, largely through the heroic efforts of Senator Kenneth K. Epperson at every point of the inquiry by the League's commissioners and representatives. The League is representative. It invites and has the hearty cooperation of independents, Democrats, Republicans, labor organization organizations, Prohibitionists, Socialists. A large number of college presidents and instructors are "charter" members, and there are in affiliated relationship hundreds of clergymen, and thousands of professional business men throughout forty States and the over twenty territories. We have the time to make this work has been supported by the private contributions of a few patriotic citizens, but the work has grown to such vast proportions that it is now necessary to nationalise its support, and hereafter by plan and fund. We have finally built in hand. We use the term "in hand" advisedly, for the League is incorporated and will manage its affairs on a strictly cash basis without individual liability or corporate indebtedness. We feel the League has behind it the heart brain and conscience of the Nation. That our cause is just. That it does not represent personal exploitation, but National betterment and makes for the ultimate good and conscience of the Republic. Our issue is authorized to collect cash for the League. All checks, postal and express money orders should be made payable to "Treasurer, Constitution League, U.S.," and sent direct to headquarters, 500 Fifth avenue, New York. All complements from National headquarters. All bankable remittances will bear the deposit certification of the Colonial Trust Company of New York as fiscal agents for the organization. By order of the Executive committee. A. J. MURPHY, Secretary. New York, April, 1907. CAPTAIN MACKLIN TESTIFIES. Does Not Think Soldiers Did the Shooting at Brownville. WASHINGTON, April 1.—Capt. Edgar A. Macklin, of Company C, Twenty-fifth Infantry, testified to day at the Brownwood militia on Military Affairs. He had just arrived in Washington from San Antonio, Texas, where he was in attendance at the court marshal on charges growing out of the shooting affray. He said to day that when the firing occurred in bed in his "unfortunate" having retired at about 11:50 a.m. I was not awakened until 12:55 some nee after the firing had ceased. He t. in joined his company and was in the guard for the balunow of the night. When asked by Senator Forker to give his opinion as to who did the shooting, he hosted a moment and said, "Well, I don't know." He said that in their excitement and confusion the men might have fired a few shots from the barracks, but that he had seen nothing to indicate they had done so, and he could not believe it possible. Mr. Macklin concerning the attack upon him at Fort Reno after the Brownsville affray, when the Captain was shot through the head. "The witness said he was in distress," Mr. Macklin said. "Officers of my regiment tried to make me believe that the shooting was for the purpose of robbery," he said. "but it is my own opinion that it was not." He said that he was done by a masked Negro, but that he knew nothing more concerning it. Corrental Knowles of Company A, Twenty-fifth Infantry, in under arrest, charged with hay-trapping, said that the evidence against Knowles was purely circumstantial. What Mr. Shorter Thinks of the Christian Religion. How can you attend to everyday? Today the Christian Endeavor society over the country has as a Bible study a lesson with the title: *Home Missionions - Breaking the World*. When you and I shall conclude that the Christian religion is really a cunningly-devised fable, all hope is gone. Let us continue to believe that God is true, that he has some followers, even in America, and record the choice of such a subject for discussion a good book. *Cran. H. Shooter*. Washington, March 21. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. April. — $9,800 or practically $6,000 is the liberal appropriation which President Allen has been able to secure from the 44th General Assembly of Missouri for the maintenance of two schools, one of which has suing two years. Of this amount $2,000 is to be devoted to the increased facilities for the agricultural department, one of the most important of the numerous institutions in the country. The already large and well-selected library is to be increased by the terms of a special clause of the bill, and the usual amount is appropriated for the Summer school, conducted annually, and one of the schools in the country, exclusively designed for Afro-Americans. Because of this Summer school which opens immediately upon the closure of the third, or fourth, school, Lincoln Institute approximates continuous session more closely than most schools of this character, and presents many advantages to teachers who desire better positions with increase of salary, well as to those seeking general training. Active preparations for commencement season, inaugurated in May by the closing exercises of the Model school, and continuation of the department until the middle of June, are in progress. All classes are unusually large and enthusiastic, and the exercises give promise of more than ordinary interest. The Assent of Food's Hill" a lecture given March 29, by Rev. Dr. W. G. Foote, minister and lecturer of note, to the Faculty and students of the institute, was highly appreciated. Decidedly humorous, as well as philosophical, it came to be a work of hard work in the class room. The sunny spring weather has awakened the athletic instinct in both sexes, and the girls' "diamond," no less than that of the boys, is a favorite spot during spring. We will long country walks for health, wild flowers and "greens," are at a premium. President Allen's class in logic is making excellent progress, under its able instructor, and is thus adding another necessary link in the educational chain which will serve each member of the class in the "stern realities" when passed out into the "stern realities" when passed out in a biennial sphere will soon be launched. JOSEPHINE S. YATES. THE BROWNSVILLE INQUIRY. Lieut. Crier Doubts That the Soldiers Were Gullity of the Shooting. WASHINGTON, March 30—Lieut. Harry Grier, who temporarily accompanied Company C. Twenty-fifth Infantry, on the night Brownville was "shot up," was held in military custody by the Military Committee to-day, he being subjected to cross-examination by Senator Warner. His testimony developed the fact that while the night was starlight it impossible for him to be away when it was white or dark. He reduced to five or seven minutes the time within which a gun could be cleaned so as to show no traces of having been fired. He reiterated his opinion that since the discharge all his three companies he had been shot up, and that he had been held by men of those companies. It was assertive that the other, faithful men of the companies had nothing to do with it and knew nothing about it. If it were done corneled, and in his opinion the course pursued toward the men after the shooting, of depressing them of their privileges, extra drills and guard mount, had prevented the discovery of the guilty men. If they were corneled, and in his opinion the course pursued before them. His doubts as to the guilt of any of them had been somewhat shaken by the testimony before the court-martial and the committee. His doubts as to the guilt of any of them had been somewhat shaken by the testimony before the court-martial and the committee. B. First Sergeant William Blaney and Assistant Cook Rarnor of the same company were also examined in regard to the identity of certain guns from which the army experts have declared were fired. He was also held in the streets of Brownville the morning after the shooting. Mt. Vernon Notes A surprise party was tendered Nilan Merritt Johnson of a Sherwood Avenue inn. Thirsty for a Sherwood Avenue indies of Sherwood Park and Mt. Vermont, she met four friends, next four weeks, Mrs. Jessica Hill of Continued avenue has been very ill for the last Sunday, Mrs. Charles White of Sherwood Park has been very ill for a few days. Residence Guests at Merry and at Vanderbilt University. MARSVILLE, March 30.—Two important and notable events have happened in this city this week. On last evening Dr. Beesner T. Washington delivered the commencement address to the Medical college, where a class of about 60 persons were graduated in medicine, pharmacy and dentistry. The audience comprised the most intelligent and well-to-do persons in Marsville to the number of about 5,000. It was in many respects a notable occasion. Even more notable and important, however, than this was the fact that on the afternoon of his same day Dr. Washington was given the position of students and faculty of Vanderbilt University. This, as is well known, is the leading university for the Southern Methodist University, and this time that a colored man has ever been invited to deliver an address before the students and faculty of this university. There were present not only the students of Washington but also the ministers of Nashville. Dr. Washington's subject was, "How the Educated Southern White Man May Help the Negro." For two hours he discussed this subject with the students and most sincere attention from the audience. At the close of his address, Dr. Washington was given an ovation by the students and equal to that, he has received from students at Yale and Harvard or anywhere else in the North where he has spoken. The Roe in the South Sewing Wood and Getting by with a Steady Grind. MONTGOMERY, Ala., March 30.—Any one who travels through the South will not be continue and persistent present in the manner of the one living in the North roads so much about the horrible things that take place in the South that he is likely to believe that woods is cowed and discouraged. This is far from the fact. The Negro throughout the South, so far as your correspondent has seen, and has been in most of the woods, is piling up a bank account, in getting hold of land and houses, in establishing store of every character, and above all, in educating his children. Where the publicity for education, he is putting his hand in his pocket and paying for such education himself. The Negro child in the heart of the South is being educated in the schools. In private schools of dustrial schools, in colleges, universities and professional institutions. The Southern States have not as yet been able to bear this kind of work this will not be attempted, that will not learn to abut the Negroes from getting book learning. No one can go through a town or city of nine sites without noting from one to a half dozen Negro churches in process or erection. It is amazing to note the disposition which the Negro is now exhibiting to the world. While people in the North and throughout many parts of Europe are angry at the race problem, the masses of people here in the heart of the South are going quietly on making progress every year and are not concerning themselves very much in the abstract discussion of their problem. In this respect the race problem is acting an element of strength which few bought, until a few years ago, it possessed. Right here in Montgomery, for example, a first-class Negro paper, The Colored Abstraction, has been equally established, and pany; the editor and leading spirit in it is Rev. R. C. Judkina. This is only evidence of what the race is accomplishment, and it will fill nineteenth of the positions in the United States post office. In the same building Mr. Nathan H. Alexander holds the office, and in the same building there is N. Negro Deputy Internal Revenue Collector. We could go into every large city of the South and point to something of this elec- rage race which is in the direction of progress. One is often surprised to see the beautiful houses that our people are building and occupying. Some of these homes will be made of wood, some of them contain eight or ten rooms. They are provided with all modern conveniences, such as porch, bathtubs and a fireplace. Some of them own their own carriages and in some cases they have automobiles. The carriages driven by some of the Negro families of the south would do credit to any race of people. Another interesting element in this situation is the following: While in politics and what is called social equality there is a strong sense of pride in the Negro and the white man are on good terms. In many cases your correspondent finds that the Negroes own stock in some businesses, some on cotton mills, factories and banking institutions. WE HAVE NINE BANKS IN DEAR OLD'MISSISSIPPI And Mound Bayon, We Cannot Always Point to It with Pride. MOUND Bayon, May 1, April 1.—Mound Bayon is a Negro town. We have a population of over five hundred people. We have the Negro Mayor, a Negro board of aldermen, a Negro bank, and all the officers of the town are controlled by us. We have several substantial churches, two schools and a dozen business houses, the most important business houses are the officers' bank, lowing are the officers' directors; John W. Francis, president; W. T. Montgomery, vice-president; Charles Banks, cashier; directors, R. M. McCarty, J. W. Francis, William Jordan, W. T. Montgomery, William Jordan, W. T. Montgomery, C. R. Stringer B. H. Crosswell, H. A. Goddish, S. M. Morgan. This bank has been organized since the first meeting of the National Negro Business Association, when seven years ago. Now there are nine in the State of Mississippi, whereas there was none before the Business League was brought to the front. The leading men and officers of Mound Bayon have been involved in improvements will take place in this community within the next few years. The State meeting of the Nero Buni music group take place in Meridian some time in June. DuBois Saye It Is "An Impudent Lie!" DuBois Says It Is "An Impudent Lie" The statement sent out by the Jamestown Exposition management that I am preparing an exhibit for Jamestown or an impudent lie, and quite in keeping with the whole shameful and discreditive enterprise Is There Any Such for Worthy Afro-Americans? Rev. DeBerry States Some Discouraging Conditions in Beautiful Springfield. From The Springfield (Mass.) Daily Bo publican. In a recent church in one of the larger churches of Springfield, the president of a Negro industrial college in the South made the statement that the Negroes of the North had been spotted by the very opportunities for the lath of which their Southern brethren were in full support, in full by The Republican. This assertion, or its equivalent in meaning, is often made, but almost always by persons who know much about the Negro in the South and little or nothing about the Negro in the North of the truth as well as for the sake of justice to the Northern Negro I ask space to narrate a few incidents of which I have personal knowledge and which fairly illustrate the scope of the Negro's industrial opportunity in Springfield and throughout the North as well. Case No. L. This is that of a young man who, after four years of satisfactory service as an elevator tender in an office building, has what most people call a "workaholic" with his employer which resulted in his losing the job. This young man walked the streets of Springfield for two weeks in search of steady employment, but without success. Finally he came to work with the rover. As I knew him to be worthy and capable, I joined him in his search for the means of a livelihood. A day or two later, I read in the want column on one of the daily papers of the city, "The writerurtled to the toilet," after which appeared the name and address of a well-known local steam laundry. At once I answered this "ad," by telephone and was informed, in response to my inquiry, from the other end of the line came the query, "Who's talking, please?" my response was "I am the pastor of one of the city churches and have in my parish a worthy man who wants work in the interest, came the question, "What sort of a man is he?" "He is honest, reliable, industrious, temperate and physically healthy and strong," was my reply. Then the encouraging response. Please him, when you see him, the question, "But suppose," said I, "It develops when you see him that he is a Negro?" "O, is it? Well, I am sorry, but I fear we could not employ him." "Why not?" I responded promptly. Then couldn't I put a colored card into his hand for our customers weeks ahead should lose trade. I am sorry, but it would be useless for him to come in. We cannot use him. Good-by. And I heard the attiling office which asked me if it is hung up at the other end of the wire. Three days later, I read in the same want column of the same daily paper the following: "Wanted a man to drive grocery team and do porters work about the store." Then were given the name and address of a well-known middle school of Negro patronage. There was something in the very circumstances of the present situation which somehow inspired hope and immediately after, reading the "ad." I made haste to answer it by phone, and the following conversation took place between "the pastor of one of the city churches" and the proprietor of one of the city churches: "I-Is this Mr. ____? G—Yen. P. I notice that you advertise in this morning's paper for a man to drive your town and do porter's work about your store. G- Yep. I- is the place still open? G- Yep. P- Mr. —, I am the pastor of one of the city churches and have in my parish a young man who wants work and who is prepared to fill the place attaching himself to the church should be glad to send him with a written testimonial, if you seem it worth while. G—We should be glad to have you send him. Could he come in this morning? him. Could he come in this morning? P—He can and will do so. It may not be necessary, but perhaps I ought to inform him before he comes that he is a Negro. G—A Negro! Well, I, I—I’m sorry, but it would be unpleasant for him to apply. P—Why so? G—Well, personally, I have no objections, but I fear it would injure my trade. P—But he is polite and accommodating and there is nothing in his personal appearance that could be the occasion of offense except it be the mere fact of his color. Will you not allow alim to come in and talk with him? It would be simply a waste of his time. We could not employ him. Goodly, sir.” And again I heard the sound of the receiver. Case No. 2. This is that of a Negro student in the International Young Men’s Christian Association Training School was in charge himself for Young Men’s Christian Association Training School people in the South. He like most Negro students in Northern schools, found it necessary to work his way. It is the custom of some business and commercial institutions in Springfield to give temporary employment as clerks and salesmen days and during vacation seasons. This is rightly regarded by Christian business men as a practical form of benevolent aid to deserving students who need it. After giving himself for a year or more at such work as caring for farm; and lawns and a table with fruit; this Negro student would furnish himself to the Christian prophetic “f one of these stores, and ask for a favor to that enjoyed by so many.” fellow-students. Althony change in his keen sensitivity and anunna. Lorenzo were well known, the more so, this student was sufficient proverbial colmness and le the better of him. But a professor elected him. The student with question meantime he was devial cape. When he had discus that was disoverable he of a Southern Negro colle into his mind a possible something else to him. He seemed with thought and the Nero college graduate would not question to do mental浇 and ask that the question way to get rid of his brain in him like this part of work he did in college. "Well, I am pleased to have not got you, Mr. — but an sorry that if present there is no suitable work to offer you. The only possible work to do is to teach children how to washing windows and cleaning floors, and you being a college graduate would would want something more, abstrating himself. "But I am willing, respond- ing to the question and the more abstrating terms." The roe had failed to work all along the business man was discon- covering. For a moment there was a blank space in his mind, but again his never brought the indictment to a close with the following remark: "I will talk the matter over with my manager and if we are possibly to something for you, will be able to do it." The student look for this means and it need not be added that In what did the student look for this manipulation? What did he do? The man was examined by this store. Chen No. 8. This is that of a young woman who is a graduate of the commercial business department of the Springfield high school and who later graduated high school with a tool additional post-graduate course in short-hand and lettering. She is a native of Springfield and a member of one of its best educated families. Shortly after her graduation she worked in a local paper, applied by letter for office work with a large commercial corporation and received from one of the department heads the following letter: "Please call us soon as you have made application." On calling at this office, she was directed to a room above where scores of young women were engaged in similar activity that for which she had made application. In this room created quiet surprise, and excited a ripple of cold laughter among the young women of the other race. The surprise of the amended operators was exceeded only by that of this Negro girl was the one whom she had, on the previous day, invited to the office for a conference regarding work. But in spite of the invitation, the caller was told that the place had been filled. "To the month later, there appeared a new woman," said for a young woman to do clerical work, but this time in another department. Again this girl wrote her application and mailed it at once to the head of the department. This time she sent a number as well as her street address. On the following day she had a telephone message from this department head who, after asking a few questions, requested her to call and see him the next morning at his desk and then followed a scene in which embarrassment vied with surprise. After questioning her to her fitness, he found himself unable to give a decisive answer that morning, but assured her that his application would not be受理 this juncture. She accordingly sought and secured the intercession of two such persons. One of these went far as to lay her case before the vice-president of the company who received her letter believer in "a square deal" to all classes. Having listened attentively to the facts as related by the intercessor, he tried to investigate the did so, and within a week the intercourse received from him the following letter: "I have talked with Mr. ---- in regard to the employment of the young woman con- nented to me, and I have been in the sympathy in favor of doing so, yet on conferring with his employer, he is convinced that the exigencies of the service will not allow him to act as he really wishes to act, and all that is much much. And with this the incident closed. It should be here noted, however, in connection with the above, that according to a careful estimate, the colored people of Springfield pay into this company about $1,500 every year. Her next experience was with a Springfield publishing house whose 'ad'. in a local paper this young woman answered after the manner already described. The following letter from the business office of the firm to the business in answer to her application: "Will you kindly call on the undersigned to morrow morning as early as possible regarding your application in answer to advertisement". When on the next morning the application was received in directions, ascended the long stairway to a room above, she found herself again in the presence of scores of young women of the more favored race, and with exactly the same humiliating experience as that through which she had sued. In this instance her feelings suffered greater injury than mere insult could possibly inflict, and this injury resisted from the fact that among the young women who there ridiculed her presumption were those who had been her classmates in the law school of this company, who soon faced her, she met with an honesty which had been sadly lacking in all the rest to whom she had applied. With him there was no lying nor evading of the issue, for he frankly told her that he could not consolate her with the apologizing of color. She thanked him for his brawness and left the room. Not quite hospeless but thoroughly disca- ncouraged, she now abandoned the search for clerical work—the kind for which she had spent four years in special prepara- tion for the job. She decided of leaving home, decided to see what the chances were in other lines of em- ployment outside of domestic service. She then applied for work in a large department store where her name was filed. She was hired as a clerical slowly manufactory in whose office window was the conspicuous placard "Girl Wanted," but where she was told that only girls experienced in the manufacture of candy could be employed; and then in a dozen other places where old women to be turned away. I prefer having submitted these incidents, which fairly illustrate how the Newsgroup "spollax" him, to refrain from further comment upon them in order that all the more clearly they may speak for them, with the following questions: my 1.

We cannot believe it is true, and the employant is not Negro. Nor Negro applicant for such a position, we have been charging up their own personal prejudices to the account of the whole community, and its misrepresentation.

Of the contribution they made to the fight for Negro freedom? And of what avail the emancipation from legal slavery? the freedman is to find even among his emancipated industrial servitude some useful for the cause of the law? Ah, but this is too fattering for us. It is not merely an industrial servitude we are thus forcing; it is something worse than that—worse than slavery. We are not an attitude beat upon starving the New world of existence and the earth. And this in Springfield! There is evidently need among us of a revival of a little of the spirit of the Jacob-let alone a revival of the spirit of the Jacob—let alone characters in human history whom the present week is especially calling to mind.

The Pittsburgh Commercial Telegraph publishes the following dispatch, March 27, which we had not noticed in any of the daily newspapers of New York: Houston, Tex., March 27.—Announcement was made to-day at the local recruiting station that orders have been received from the War Department at Washington instructing that no more Negroes be accepted for service in the army. The announcement that all Negro recruits United States will be dispatched forthwith to the Philippines. Now, this is interesting, if true. The soldiers that we have in the regular army are to be exiled to the Philippines and there are to be no more Afro-Americans recruited into the service. We would like to know what President Roosevelt is driving at in all of the policy he has been pursuing toward the Afro-American people. Civil Rights and Material Independence. In The Age of March 21 we published a very able article by Mrs. Carrie W. Clifford, under the heading, "Civil Rights Go Before Material Independence." In her article Mrs. Clifford laid down the doctrine that "Building on the Constitution is building on the rock, and building otherwise is on the sand." We very heartily subscribe to that doctrine; but during our twenty-eight years of journalism we have found that there can be little building on the Constitution unless the effort has public opinion behind the effort, and that in the absence of such compelling public opinion the courts of the land, especially in the Southern States, override the Constitution of the Republic at will and have been and are uniformly sustained in their conduct by the opinion of the Federal Supreme Court. Now, why is this? First, the Supreme Court declared that the Civil Rights bill was unconstitutional, that the States had absolute control of the civil rights within their borders, and could deny or abridge them at pleasure; then, in the Ku-Klux Slaughter House cases it laid down the doctrine that the States had absolute control of the political rights of citizens within their borders, and it has sustained this opinion in all of the cases involving the validity of the disfranchising constitutions of the Southern States. Indeed, it has declared the question to be a political and not a. judicial one, and that Congress and not the Supreme Court must deal with it. To emphasize the monstrosity of the whole business, in a case involving the political rights of a contestant for a seat in Congress, based upon the irregularities in the registration and election laws of South Carolina, Mr. Aaron Prileau was informed by the House of Representatives that his case was judicial and not political, and that he must seek relief in the Federal courts, which had already declared that they have no jurisdiction of such cases. In all cases of contest the Federal courts have sustained the right of the States to deny or abridge the civil and political rights of Afro-American citizens, having not budged an inch from the infamous position laid down by Chief Justice Taney in 1856, in the case of Dred Scott vs. Sandford, in spite of the adoption of the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery and of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments defining and fixing citizenship and the requirements of States in dealing with the question of citizenship. Now, what is the difficulty? The difficulty is in the absence of public opinion in the citizenship at large to compel enforcement of the equal rights of Afro-American citizens with the rest of the citizenship, and in the absence of ability and influence and wealth among Afro-Americans to create public opinion and to fight out denial of rights under the Constitution in the courts of the country. We have shown that we neither have the ability to organize for the protection of our rights nor the money to back us at law, in so far that most of our rights have been denied or abridged because we ourselves have defended in contending for them. as well face the fact that with independence to opulent slavery, full civil, social and political rights, freedom and equal opportunity to material independence." But each one of these postulates must be backed up with sufficient manhood to compete respect for it and sufficient dollars to put every denial of it to the test from the lowest to the highest court. In the absence of ability to do this there will be nothing doing. There can be no "full soul" without a "full stomach," no "rich life" without "rich living"; while there may be "independence" with a crust" there cannot well be "opulent slavery," because opulence and slavery travel different turnipkes, and when they clash slavery is always smashed by opulence; and without "material independence" no man, no race, can have and hold "full civil, social, and political rights, and freedom and equal opportunity." We would have all things in citizenship as Mrs. Clifford would have them; but we have learned that a chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and that most of the links in the Afro American's chain of citizenship and manhood are mighty weak. The Age Incorporated. THE NEW YORK AGE, heretofore owned and published by Fortune and Peterson, was incorporated under the laws of New York State, with a capitalization of fifty thousand dollars, divided into shares of the par value of $10, on February 4. At the first meeting of the incorporators, February 7, T. Thomas Fortune was elected President and Jerome B. Peterson was elected Secretary and Treasurer, for the period of one year, and the style and name of the new incorporation was designated as THE NEW YORK AGE PUBLISHING COMPANY. The stock certificates are now ready for those who have signified their intention to become subscribers, and any readers of THE AGE who desire to become stockholders can do so. All of the money derived from the sale of stock will be devoted to the development of the property. Subscriptions can be sent to either Mr. Fortune or Mr. Peterson. May 1 THE AGE will move into new quarters and have its own presses and other facilities necessary to the production of a great newspaper. Senator Foraker Defies His Foes. Senator Joseph Benson Foraker has thrown down the gauntlet to President Roosevelt, and to anybody else who wants to take the control of the Republican politics of Ohio away from him and Senator Charles Dick. This defiance followed fast upon the announcement that President Roosevelt had decided that he wanted Secretary Taft to succeed him in the White House, that Representative Burton was to take charge of the Administration's interests in Ohio, and, if successful in overcoming the existing machine, should have as his good and sufficient reward the seat in the Senate now warmed by Senator Foraker. President Roosevelt will be given credit for courage as big as his faith in undertaking to oust Senator Foraker from the leadership of the Republican party of Ohio. When his success in worsting the Odell machine in New York is remembered, and the disastrous outcome of it in the last State election, when all of the Republican State ticket was defeated, with the exception of Governor Hughes, the Ohio fight will be watched with interest and much misgivings by the Republican leaders throughout the country who hope for Republican success in the Presidential election next year. It has been a long time since there was as much factional feeling within the Republican party in all of the States as at the present time, and there is more of it in New York and Ohio than anywhere else. Senator Foraker stands for old-line Republican principles, while President Roosevelt does not stand for any Republican principles that have heretofore inspired the confidence of the country; he has made a set of party principles of his own. He is a Radical in construing the Federal Constitution, in so far that he would make Alexander Hamilton gasp for breath if he were here and drive Thomas Jefferson crazy. Federal control of nearly everything in the comprehension of government appears to be President Rhoevelt's idea. There are a large number of people in the Republican party who do not believe in this comprehensive function of Federal administration, and Senator Foraker appears to be their able representative. At this stage of the game Afro Americans are off the firing line. They may not get into the fighting in dead earnest before the next National Convention, when the platform has been adopted and the candidates nominated As far as the Roosevelt Administration could accomplish it, the Afro-American has been set aside entirely as a party factor. Such organization as he had in the Southern States has been taken away from him and placed in the hands of milk-and-water Democrats and Republican Lilywhites, a combination of political indiscreobles and racals ab- horrent to Afro-Americans, and if these mishits are allowed to control the South ern delegations to the next National Convention of the party, when the party adopts its platform and selects its candidates, it will be time enough for Afro-Americans in the Northern and Western States to decide what they want and to vote accordingly. Meanwhile we shall watch the fight in Ohio with wide-open eyes. which has overtaken them. When they had the upper hand they abused their opportunities, defied public opinion, defrauded investors by outraging inflation of their capital, gave such service as they pleased and made such freight and passenger regulations as impoverished some and enriched others. But for all that, the railroads should have a fair deal in legislation and in public opinion. of their supreme test for party supreme between Senator Forbes Roosevelt, whichever was not better the condition American in the Republic has heretofore been the choice and faith. We are not opposed to expulsion. We are no Truth About nonfarm Labor Diff. culty. The South is clamoring for foreign labor, and, is holding out all sorts of inducements for such. Burunes are maintained and agents are kept in Europe by Southern States for the purpose of securing for the South a portion of the enormous immigration which pours into the country in an unbroken stream. But the desired labor has so far refused to turn its head toward the Southern States. The labor conditions and traditions and laws are not such as to suit the fancy of those who come out of a labor condition of congestion and exhaustion and a governmental condition of tyranny and tax robbery, and who are not hunting for that sort of condition in the land of their- adoption; the same conditions which have made Afro-Americans indifferent to the farm life of the South, in a large measure, and have driven them as well as the poor whites to the factory towns and cities, the conditions which make for discouragement of one sort of labor making for all sorts of labor. The truth of the matter is that those who control the labor conditions of the Southern States have striven by law and personal conduct to put as much of the slave methods into them as the labor at their command would stand for. Now, Immigration Commissioner F. P. Sargent has fired this shot into the efforts of those Southern States which are seeking to induce foreigners to settle among them and take up all or a part of what has been the black man's burden since Hector was a pup, when he says: "There is one thing the people of the South must learn in the handling of immigrants. They must pay better wages or the foreigners will not remain with them. The South is badly in need of agriculture, but it is not possible for the farmers and planters to keep laborers at a wage of 90 cents to $1 per day, when they can secure a wage of $2 in the North." This is very true; and they will not only have to pay more wages but change the labor laws, written and unwritten, so that the employer will not have it in his power to hog all of the earnings of labor and put the bloodbound on his tracks' and the cat o' nine tails on his back when he protests against such robbery and tyranny. Restricted Avenues of Employment in the North. Afro-Americans all over the country will read with interest the article, we reproduce in another column of THE ACE to-day from The Springfield Republican contributed by Rev, William N. DeBerry, one of the best equipped and most faithful of our ministers, as to the industrial limitations under which the Afro-Americans of Springfield live and have their being. And what is true of conditions in this respect in Springfield is also true of most of the cities of New England and the Middle States. The facts are tough, and they make us wince, but we have to meet them and overcome them as best we can. Here in New York it is difficult for Afro-Americans to secure responsible positions of any sort. It is worse with our women than it is with our men in this respect. It is marvelous that the large number of Afro-Americans in the large cities of the Northern States are able to meet the costly conditions of living with which they have to contend, along with the others more favored of the population, when the restricted avenues of employment open to them are considered. But they not only seem to live but to enjoy life immensely. The situation, however, is becoming more of a problem every day, as the Afro-American population of the large cities of the North and West is being constantly fed by a steady stream of new people from the Southern States. In Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Indianapolis, Detroit and Chicago this population is attaining to enormous proportions and it has already become a problem of the most difficult character, because the employment which the people need and should have cannot be got. How is this difficult situation to be met? Railroad Managers in a Panic. The adoption of the Railway Rate bill, and other railroad legislation by the Federal Congress was followed last Winter by a flood of railroad legislation by the several States which amounts almost to State control and regulation of railroad management. That vast volume of property has just begun to feel the effects of this legislation, and something like a panic has been produced among railroad managers and investors. It was bound to come to that, with consequent disturbance of confidence in all lines of business. The past two weeks have seen many manifestations of this panicky feeling. It is difficult to say how far it may go, but it is the general hope that there may be no organic disturbance of the business conditions of the country. The railroads have themselves to blame for all of the adverse legislation which has overtaken them. When they had the upper hand they abused their opportunities, defied public opinion, defrauded inventors by outrageous infiltration of their capital, gave such service as they pleased and made such freight and passenger regulations as impoverished some and enriched others. But for all that, the railroads should have a fair deal in legislation and in public opinion. President Reeveelt and the Afro- American. In the game of politics the victory is not always to the swift nor yet to the strong, but to him that knows things and endures to the end. The end may be long and it may be short, but there is always an end. This prosaic fact has from the beginning of time kept politicians guessing, and the chances are that it will continue to do so. By the rule of it they are kept in mind that the deeds done in Washington will have to be accounted for to the people, who usually vote down the men who go wrong on questions of popular rights. A very large section of the Republican majority in, the Senate and the House has no love for the Afro-American man and brother, and has left him and his fortunes severely alone for a great many years; blind, stone blind, to the fact that the Democratic enemy was doing all that there was in his power to poison the public mind as to the facts about him and to take away from him under mask of the poison by State laws all of the rights which are his under the Federal Constitution, laws which would not stand the test, if ever they could be tested, by the Federal Courts, which dodge the test issue with a Mephistophelean cunning worthy of the traditions of the Court before Andrew Jackson packed it for the purpose of getting a precedent to buttress the cause of the Slave Power. President Roosevelt has been a thorn in the side of the regular Republican statesmen ever since he got out of the War Department and began to do things in the Spanish-American War, and they have been seeking in season and out of season to get an opening by which they could fetch him up short in the public estimation. His peculiar liking for the Afro-American people was evident long before he became Assistant Secretary of War, and after he became President, and he showed his liking in a practical way, in act and speech, on every possible occasion. No one ever thought that it would be possible to penetrate his armor through them. It is a safe statement of the case that the President himself looked at the matter in that way. He could not imagine that he would ever do anything which would put him on the outs with his Republican antagonists in the Congress with the Afro-American as the provocation. But man proposes and God disposes. Without the wish or the intention on anybody's part the break in the relations between the President and the Republicans in the Congress came over the Afro-American—the innocent provocation of so much disturbance in the politics of the country since the foundation of the Government—although railway legislation is at the bottom of the bad blood. The Brownsville order was the firebrand. When the President threw it in the political brush heap he had no idea that it was a bunch of combustibles with an ignitable fuse concealed in it. When the explosion came he stood by the order, because he thought he was acting within his authority in issuing it. He thinks so now. No question of politics, or race, but the good of the service, entered into his mind in connection with the order. He thinks as much of the Afro-American people now as he ever did. But having got the bit in his teeth he will keep it there. He is built that way. When he thinks he is right he cannot be got to think he is wrong. In the long contention growing out of the Brownsville order, beginning with the opening of Congress in January last, there have been many dramatic situations, in all of which the President occupied the center of the stage, by reason of his position and of the tremendous personality which he possesses, and which has fitted him to dominate any situation in which he finds himself Senator Joseph Benson Foraker of Ohio is a splendid fighter. A lawyer of the highest distinction, he also has convictions, with courage to back them up. It is as natural for him to differ from the President as for two drops of water to melt into each other. They possess the same fighting qualities. If Senator Foraker had not taken up the cudgels against the Brownville order there is not another man in the Senate who would have done it, except, perhaps, Senator Nathan B. Scott of West Virginia, one of those rugged, honest Republicans so few of whom remain to us, who have given the party the strength and confidence with the masses which have enabled it to do so many villainous things against the just rights and interests of the people, especially the Afro-American people, in the past thirty years. The Brownville order is to be retretted from many points of view, and it is possible that nobody regrets it more than the President. The political situation created by it, or made possible by it, has prejudiced the interests of the Republican party at large and the interests of the Afro-American people in all of their relations as citizens. The contest for party supremacy in Ohio between Senator Foraker and President Roosevelt, whichever way it results, cannot better the condition of the Afro-American in the Republican party, which has heretofore been the party of his choice and faith. We are not opposed to the Jamestown Exposition. We are not in favor of the Jamestown Exposition. We do not care a rap about the Jamestown Exposition. We are not celebrating the introduction of slavery into the colony of Virginia. Secretary Taft has been more of a globe trotter than any other Secretary of War that we have had. He has mapped out an itinerary which will cover all of the insular territories of the country before the snow falls again. He has now gone to Panama. He is booked to be in the Philippines when the first Philippine constituent body meets next summer. All of this premeditated absences of the Secretary of War from the country when the Presidential succession is getting bot in the air will be, regarded by all sorts of people from all sorts of points of view, especially as his friends have made him an avowed candidate for the Republican nomination. It is a fair gamble, that Secretary Taft will get but few votes in the convention from the Southern States. His attitude of hostility to Afro-Americans in the Philippines when he was Governor-General, his North Carolina speech at Greensboro two years ago, and his attitude on the Brownville discharge order of the President, he must know, cut him out of Afro-American votes in the convention, and possibly at the ballot box, if he should get the nomination anyhow. So glad that the Springtime has got here at last. The British voters in the Transvaal thought that they could control the election of the first Parliament, and went about, the business with the usual British cochureness, but the Dutch Boers gave them a surprise by winning out, with the result that General Botha is the first Premier and has a Boer cabinet to back him. He will soon visit England to attend a conference of Colonial Governors. From his talk it would seem that the Boers of South Africa no longer dream of recovering their lost independence, but are determined to do what they can as an integral part of the British Empire to make that country as great as possible. That is the right spirit, it is true, but few people anywhere ever thought that the stubborn Boers would display it. It may be that the Boers have taken a leaf out of the history of the Southern States of our own country, in which those who were defeated in war have recovered more than they lost in power and wealth by grabbing the situation by force and holding on to it by sharp practices which scandalized our theory of a republican form of government for the States. "Peace hath her victories, no less renowned than war." It is easier to tear down than to build up. Mr. Andrew Carnegie, who started life on nothing and attained to one of the largest fortunes in the Republic, always arks back to his lowly beginnings with the freshness and enthusiasm of youth. Talking to the telegraphers the other day, Mr. Carnegie said, when he was asked to take hold of a difficult job: "Well, I never made such a fool of myself as to say I couldn't do a thing if I had a chance." How can a man of that sort of grit he kept down as a simple breadwinner? He will always become a captain in anything he puts his hand to. --- A number of Afro-American of high degree are leaning toward Socialism in their thought and talk. What is Socialism? We give in another column of THE AGE a definition of it by one of the priests of it, and in a future issue we shall take up the subject from our point of view. In the main the writer does not take kindly to new-fangled things in social and political economics. He does not believe in too much law, nor in too little, but some law is necessary. But in our State and National politics we appear to be tending toward State Socialism. Is it good? We doubt it. Will The Washington Bee tell us when and where Mr. Gilchrist Stewart graduated in the law? Under the new immigration law and the recent order of the President, four hundred Japanese laborers were barred out of the United States, were not allowed to come in after they had got here last week. How do the proud Japanese like that, to be barred out of the United States when the white scourings of Europe came in last week to the number of 14,000? It must be galling, mighty galling, to proud and sensitive natures. There will be general regret that Mr. Robert C. Ogden has been compelled on account of failure of his health to retire from active business life. Mr. Ogden is a very remarkable man. He made himself. With large business interests to look after he has given more time to the work of Southern education than any other man in the North, during the past ten years. He has been active in the work of the Southern and General Education Boards, and for a long time he has been on the working boards of the Hampton and Tinkeweg Institutes. We trust that in retiring from active business life he may recover his health, and we are sure from what we know of him that he will never lose interest in the work of Southern education. Former President Grover Cleveland thinkin that the tariff issue is about the only issue left by which the Democrat can win. But under the conditions that hedge about the Democratic party who wants it to win anything but the continued privilege of staying on the outside of control of the Government? NOW THE PRESIDENT'S REVENGE PAILED TO STRIKE OVER American Senator Wants to Know The colored people of Ohio were in a great state of excitement a few weeks ago, owing to the fact that it was reported in the newspaper that President Roosevelt intended to appoint a Negro to a prominent Federal position in the State of Ohio. Netwithstanding the fact that the oldest Negro inhabitant of the Buckeye State cannot remember a cow where any President of the United States has ever appointed or even offered to appoint a Negro to a Federal position in Ohio, the colored inhabitants of that State, when they heard what President Roosevelt intended to do, grew into such a frenzy of excitement and indignation that there seemed to be no prediction as to what they might finally resort to. These Ohio Afro-Americans were perfectly willing to throw up their hats and yell themselves hoarse in praise of Foraker and Dick and Hanna and others for appointing Negroes to office in New Orleans, Atlanta, Savannah and elsewhere. The appointment of Negroes to office in the Southern States indicated the highest possible fealty to the Negro race, but when it came to appointing a Negro in the State of Ohio to a Federal position this was too much for the average black Ohio, and from one end of the State to the other petitions went to Senator Foraker and Senator Dick, and even to the White House, urging these officials not to appoint a Negro to an office Ohio. They went so far as to say that the appointment of a Negro to office in that State would disrupt the Republican party. Notwithstanding there are 50,000 Negro voters in Ohio, and they have been loyal to the Republican party for fifty years, the mere mention of the appointing of a Negro to a prominent office aroused such a frenzy of excitement as has not been heard of. It was a hot race between many of the leading colored people of Ohio to see which could reach the ears of Foraker first in order to inform him that the Negroes of that State did not want any official position, and that it would be an insult to the Afro-Americans for the President to confer upon the race such a prominent position. The minds and heads of some people are very hard to understand and if any one can lay down to your correspondent any rule by which he can judge the average black man he will be made very glad. Now that it seems to be thoroughly understood that no Afro-American is to be appointed to a place in Ohio, at present at least, the colored citizenship of that commonwealth have settled down to peace and quiet, all incitement has disappeared, and the leaders are expressing their gratitude to Foraker and Dick, and even to the President, for not honoring any Afro-American with an office. It is a noticeable fact that, in many of the Northern cities, where there are excellent opportunities for the higher education, our young people, in many cases, do not avail themselves of these opportunities. There was an editorial in The New York Sun recently to the effect that of the 21 colored students in Harvard University, not one of them lives in the city of Boston or Cambridge. Granting that this is true, it not only illustrates a condition obtaining in Boston but in other large cities of the North as well. It looks as if our people have made the mistake of discussing higher education, and have grown so interested in the discussion that they have forgotten to get the higher education itself. In Ne. York city we question whether there are a half dozen men of the race, who live in New York city in Columbia College and we question whether there a half dozen who reside in Chicago, who are in the University of Chicago. In the city of Baltimore there is Johns Hopkins University. We wager that not a single Negro student can be found in Johns Hopkins University. The number of colored students in Howard University in the District of Columbia, who actually live in Washington is exceedingly small. An analysis of the students in the University of Pennsylvania would show, I think, that not more than three or four, if that many residents of Philadelphia are registered, and so we might take every large center of education in the North and show that so far as institutions for higher education are being patronized by our people is concerned, such patronage is very small. An examination of the student roll would show. I think, that the majority of the students who take advantage of higher education are those from the Southern States. In these Southern communities one does not hear so much talk about higher education, but he finds the students engaged in securing it more often than is true of the members of the race right in these communities where these larger institutions exist. This should not be true. There should be at least a dozen young men from Boston itself in Harvard University each year, and the same proportion should hold good in all of the larger institutions of learning in the North. The colored people in the North should not make the mistake of devoting them solely so entirely to the discussion of the illis of their Southern brothers that they forget to look after their own interests. There are many matters pertaining to the economic, the educational, moral and religious interests of these Northern communities that should receive attention. I do not blame our people for giving attention to the concerns of the Negro in the South, but while doing so they should not overlook the fact that they have interests right here at their homes that should at least receive a part of their attention. AMERICAN SPECTATOR. New York, April 21. Hesty. Customer—"That's too bad! There, I have forgotten my purse!" Noreverpee—"That's no matter, lady, von can pay me next time." Customer—"Bumps I could to improve the experience."Oh, I could sound the tone." Notwithstanding other motives of more or less race import, Dominican birthright, the Longfellow continental the Brigham Constitution test one in Virginia, President Eller's apostasy, DuBois's tour tour, the Government's expulsion of the "jim crow annex," the Osage attacking, and toward the last, the manoeuvre of a Congressional sanction of color-case by the threatened anti-racial-intermarriage law for the District of Columbia—greatly thought editors and publishers of the race have not overlooked the fact that the precedent yet stands, that persons, Negroes at any rate, may, because of their tribal or opportunity for defense, in short, without due process of law. They have not disregarded the author possibilities wrapped up in the newly-formed normative article, in platform utterance, and even in official documentation but have now explicitly expressed "competency of the author as a judge" laid against the author as citing, has the qual sanction of some "leaders." it is of far greater importance to draw the fangs of this deadly doctrine than even to preface "Cedar Hill" as a Mecca for the race. The last-named, in itself a worthy object, was at the supposed psychological moment brought out and exploited by the hero for a "diversion." It was quite alluring and expensively concocted; large ready-made cuts of Douglas and of his late company, to print a book accompanying containing all purl of our generous and considerate Moss, who alone was thinking about our dead hero while the rest of us were straining every nerve and soul and fame of our living heroes. It served its purpose; only partially. DOUGLASS HOMESTEAD Racial Movement from the Viewpoint of Rev. W. R. Lawton. To the Editor of The New York Am: The colored Americans are gradually walking up to a worthy recognition of the character have been great factors in the freedom of their race in the recognition accorded them and in the development of their people. Their worth and service to the country have been great, such as Launceton City, Oklahoma; in the names of streets, such as Moore, Fortune and Banks streets, Banyou, Mia; in the names of flats, such as the Washington, the Pinchback and the Anderson homes, such as the Garnett Fresh Air Home, Westbury, L. I. and in such institutions as Morris Brown college, Atlanta, Ga. The names of a number of such institutions have been contributed in their time in a most substantial way, to the uplift of the race. Not intertwining with their bones with great and noble life work of the colored Americans, who living and in doing in the interest of the race, is a most significant awakening. For the preservation of their good works in an essential asset in the computation of the realization of their possibilities, Hamchmette, on Boston Common, honors and perpetuates the memory of Crimpus Attacks in monumental granite, and New York, in the public square at Rochester, New York, in the public square at Douglass in a splendid statue. But aside from these two notable statues, not in the purview of the present optimist in the hope that the names of the colored Americans would be honored by city and deeds, would be honored by city and common wealth like Attacks and Douglass. The first, foremost and greatest leader of the race, Frederick Duntlass died about twelve years ago. The further and more of the years he presented the clearer and fuller he looked out. The most of his life and character, and as a result, is becoming more and more the object of the colored Americans' pride and admiration. So great and general in the race is being of the most important, and the delivery too, that notwithstanding his picture is in thousands of bones, and several worthy and well-known colored enterprises and a number of societies bear in America the same name as the racial movement on a most commendable, his home at Anacostia in the ruburbs of Washington. C. C. The movement has been inaugurated and is being led by the Frederick Duntlass Memorial and Historical Association of Washington. C. C. The property consists of about four acres in the heart of Anacostia, on a hill, giving a beautiful view of the Potomac River and the city for several miles. There is more targeted indebtedness of $4,000 bearing $6,000 in the value of $1,000,000 property. Dr. Booker T. Washington, be the request of the association, reveals to the race to contribute to the liquidation of the indebtedness of the property and to make the will to the colored Americans what Mount Vazquez has. A ready and liberal response to the appeal should be forthcoming from every section of the country. DR. F. C. MORRIS' VIEW OF DR. From the Vanguard About three weeks ago there appeared in several of our race papers an article appearing in the *Jimmy B. Booker T. Washington*, a paper the people of Washington wrote, but a small sum of money to clear off a mortgage against the home of the late Frederick Douglass, with a view of pre-Independence American memories and traditions as a permanent memory to Douglass and the Negro people. The simple statement that it is to be presented in permanent memorial to Donglax and be sufficient to touch the heart and sympathy of every thoughtful, liberty- and sympathy of every land, and yet we are reliably informed that the land of Washington's appeal are coming in very slowly. It is that fact that impels me to the end that the thousands of miles we have traveled as well as the race laying laymen, will as soon as they have read this letter to Dr. Booker T. W. Small contribution to Dr. Booker T. W. Small, Keea, Ala., for the mentioned parish. I would personally prefer and appreciate the fact that the contributions he made small and by many people, thereby the memorial should be made which the memorial should have made to Who was Frederick Donchies? Every schoolboy in the land can answer that question, but aside from what the general answer would need to be, we wish to ask it as an important question that erick Donchies was the greatest character produced in the nineteenth century, and that to neglect to permeate the memory of such a man is a thing which his whole nation, white and black, in her contribution a fund to make a permanent memorial to the Abraham Lincoln birthplace, it is quite fitting that we shall establish a permanent memorial to the man Emancipator, and whose every effort was put forth in trying to influence Lincoln and his advisors to emancipate his re We firmly agree that all who read this will honor himself by a contribution to Dr. W. Washington truly yours. 5000 IN WEEKLY WAGES They Occupy All Professional, Business and Labor Fields and Are Prospering Progressively. BIGHOMM, Va., April 1—W. P.

From the foregoing partial list of the various enterprises conducted by the coloured people of Richmond it can be seen that more than one million dollars of capital is invested in various pursuits. Many hundreds of people are employed in the conduct of these various enterprises, and in some instances the payroll coaches five thousand dollars monthly. There is a constant desire to improve the work and character of work done and service rendered in all the pursuits followed by the colored people of Richmond. Petsons who knew the colored citizens ten years ago, to day note marked changes for the better in every possible way. The people are not satisfied with slovenly carelessly-conducted business places and enterprises, and so every opportunity for advancement is seized. Colored enterprises are being opened on the principal business thoroughfares, not in houses owned by whites, but in houses owned and managed by colored people. The Richmond colored people are a church-going set and as a consequence there are thirty Baptist churches one of which is one Presbyterian, and eight Undenominational churches with an enrolled membership of more than 25,000 souls. The property of the various denominations will do creep to any church in their district than the people of Richmond. Many of the churches are beautiful within and without and all the larger ones have pipe organs, costing from $1,200 to $3,000. The following tables show the various denomination, value of property and name of pastor: Name of Church. Value. First Baptist, W. T. Johnson, D. D. Southern Baptist, Z. D. Lewis, D.

The pastors in charge of the churches are generally well educated men and all many causes the leaders not only in church but in the business world and every important enterprise has either a minister or more among the managers. The real estate holdings of the colored people are being daily increased and it is a very hard job to get an absolutely correct report of the amount of property held by them, because the listing of property law is very imperfectly done. The Commissioner of Revenue, Mr. Hawkins, with whom we had an extended, conference, submitted his books, but at the same time entered only against such property as he knew to be held by colored people, but that he had often found himself mistaken in that property listed "colored" was occasionally found to be owned by colored people. In the case of a credited to "whites" was found to be owned by colored people. This can be understood when you consider the fact that all the deeds read alike and there is no designation of colored or white in the property in the city supposed to be owned by whites, has long since passed to colored owners. In the past the colored people have confined their holdings to colored districts, but since the agitation of the property law in the State whereby property holding has been made one of the prerequisites to voting, the colored people have bought in the best business portions of the town, and many good residential districts are now owned by colored people. When such property is reported for record, unless the court officer knows of his personal knowledge that the property has been bought by whites. It is believed that at least a mound by colored people than they are given credit for owning. Tourist for which credit should be given? $2,027,247 An examination of the reports of the auditor for the State of Virginia for the last seven years will show a marked increase in the number of colored people of Richmond from year to year. Conferences held from time to time by me with leading real estate men reveal the fact that the greatest activity (proportionately) shown in the acquiring of real estate by the colored people in recent years. There are four colored banks in the city with a combined up-paid capital stock of $143,000. These banks have on deposit between them nearly $500,000 and (as per last statement). In addition to the money on deposit in the colored banks there is estimated to be more than $500,000 on deposit in the white banks by colored people. While a large number of the colored banks have deposits in one of the colored banks, by far the greater number have never changed from the white banks which they have been patronizing for years. The first colored bank to be organized was the Fortune in 1888. This bank was chartered under act of the Virginia Legislature in March, 1888, and opened its door April, 1889, with deposits amounting to $1,300. Its resources now amount to $577,288.69. The other banks are of the same size and all doing a good business, especially the Mechanics' Savings Bank. There are two hospitals in Richmond run by colored people entirely. The Richmond Hospital and the Women's League Hospital. The Richmond Hospital is for twenty six patients, sixteen of these beds are given over almost entirely to charity patients whose expenses are paid from contributions by a band of colored women known the Women's League Hospital Association. During the year just ended more than one hundred charity cases were looked after. The expenses of the hospital generally are met by a nominal charge of such patient contributions from the board of directors. On the staff are many of the best physicians and surgeons in the city, who give their services free. The city gives $100 a year, but the hospital does not allow that it may widen its of work. The nurses' training school connected with it has a regular course and its graduate nurses are passed by the State Board of Trained Nurses. In our office in our door work in the best families. The Friend's Orphan Asylum has about fifty children, and they are entirely dependent on charity. No assistance comes from the city and the county. Utility of the City Home (poor house) where the fatherless and motherless can be cared for. The various colored churches give contributions from time to time. Old Folks' Home of the Grand Hotel has about six miles from Richmond on a farm of 834 acres. This institution is also supported by charity. The farm was bought from contributions made by members of the county council. Our their charitable friends. There are accommodations for twenty old people who are taken regardless of religion need. The organization is in need of aid. The Richmond Charitable Tailor on the Richmond Hospital Association. Colored people and is also supported entirely by charity. The public schools of Richmond for colored children are taught by about 70 teachers white teachers and principals. The children stand well both as to studies and attendance, but they have no library factions. The teachers would help him greatly. The prevailing customs of Richmond keep the races strictly apart, and no public benefactions do not benefit the Negro when the contract is brought him in contract with the whites. The colored people all belong to some form of insurance or fraternal society, which helps them in sickness and fur- rance. They are called the pioneer Fraternal Beneficiary Society for Negroes, the grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers. This organization formed twenty-five years ago, has dis- tributed $200,000 in property and cash of $200; 01438. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, APRIL 4. 1007. AFRO-AMERICANS AND JAPANESE American Race Prejudice Swipes Both ROOSEVELT'S POSITION His Attitude towards the Japanese Treaty Rights and Afro-American Constitutional Rights. WASHINGTON, April 1. — President Roosevelt's voice has been raised in behalf of the Japanese in San Francisco. The voice of the great man was high and imperious and passionate. What he said in his annual message was heard in Gothic published and the friends of Japan, who joined the world over. And it was well, it was all very well, surely, to have the President of the great Republic stand before his countrymen and the world as the unfinishing champion of equality of rights in the world. Japan under the favored nation clause of her treaty with this country. Japanese have found themselves in the past and find themselves to-day discriminated against in the boasted land of the free on account of their race and color, achievements, in peace and war, of their country as a great world power. A Massachusetts white man, just from the marriage in Washington of a Japanese to an American white girl, confessed frankly to a friend of ours his feeling of being made a slave, he said, "this marriage of a member of a darker race, albeit of Japanese stock, with a woman of the white race." This was a Massachusetts man, who ought to know better, and who was a slave to the slave of the admixture of races. But, also, on the subject of darker races he is but a type of the average American white man produced by our American environment. With all his intelligence and prominence, he slaves a slave to stupid race prejudice which deter him in the most ignorant of the white race. The race prejudice which excluded Japanese children from the same schools attended by white children in San Francisco in the same race prejudice, which spoke against the Massachusetts white minority against the Massachusetts white Japanese and an American girl, white. President Roosevelt seems to think that the marvelous achievements of the Japanese people in peace and war ought to make a difference in their favor in this country in spite of their race and dark skin. The Japanese make no such distinction in favor of merit, of achievement, when the race is dark, when the skin is dark. To belong to a dark race, to possess a dark skin, are enough of themselves to damn any man, woman or child, however intelligent, refined, useful, or distinguished they may be. The Japanese own colored citizens. No devotion to the country as soldiers in times of war, no usefulness to it in times of peace, no amount of eminence in any of the varied walks of American life and civilization by individuals has been able to stone to their fellow-countriesm. either North or South, they unforgivable sin of their race and color. The President affected great surprise and indignation, and he waxed exceedingly stern and menacing at the treatment received by Japanese children at the Francisco done to these Japanese children which the District of Columbia has not done to the colored children of American citizens? San Francisco had separated these Japanese children from white children and menacing at the negregation District of Columbia separated the races in its public school system. Has the president shown any surprise, affected any indignation; has he waxed exceedingly stern and menacing at the negregation district along the Capitol of the public school, the Capitol of the Republic? Why has he discriminated in favor of the Japanese who are foreigners, and against colored Americans who are citizens of the Union, as much as under the same jurisdiction himself and the whiteness of the white race? Why this distinction in favor of foreigners when it ought to be, if there should be a distinction at all (but we do not say that there ought to be), not made by the Japanese or the Republic in favor of native colored children? The President knows that "Jim Crow" carr run into the District and run out of the District. He knows to what indignities and hardships all colored people subjected who travel from this city into the South by reason of the segregation of interstate railroad travel. Has he ever waged indignant over these outrages? Has he ever sought to right the wrongs of his colored fellow-citizens on Southern railroads? Did he do anything touching this matter during the last session of Congress when the Railroad Rate bill was passed into into the District. Did he raise objections to philippe in any special message to Congress or in public speech of any description what- over? If he did so we have no recollection of that surprising fact. Well, when the Atlanta mob of last September wore mournful limousin and indiscriminate New York wounds, many scores more, did the President rush into print to express his indignation and abhorrence of this peculiarly American harbormism along the color line to the South, where he expressed his indignation and abhorrence? But this is not all or the worst where the President was silent where he ought not to have been silent. All over the South colored men are deprived of the toils to be suffered by them by the fundamental law of the land. And the President knows this, knows it as well as any man in the country knows it. He knows that there exists a succession of laws in the United States to nullify the Fourteenth and the Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution, and although he has sworn to uphold that Constitution he has never done it during years when office attacks and attack the compatriety and to restore to American citizens the rights which that instrument confers upon them. He has never uttered one word in an annual or a special speech, and has never uttered one word on the platform or through the press on this subject. He has been silent where silence has suited his purpose and policy, and he has spoken as on this Japanese question, when speech has suited his purpose and policy also. In order to enforce the treaty rights of Japanese subjects, resident in this country, he would have disregarded the treaty rights of American citizens and the American but, to restore to colored men rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution he would not for anything in the world prearrange the claim of the Southern States to lose the status of colored American citizens an almighty big difference in the opinion of the President between the status of the Japanese in California under treaty rights and the status of colored American citizens under the Constitution the Republic. Why does the President draw such insidious distinction between foreigners and native Americans? Is it foreigners and Americans are strong and the colored Americans are afraid so. ARCHIBALD H. GUMKE.

Boucherville and turning to Justice Church said: "I will not go with anybody but you or another justice." Justice Church did not argue the case, but hired a carriage and escorted him to jail. Arriving at the jail, Carson protested on the ground that the order of commitment had no seal. The warden being assured that the order was in proner form received Col. Carson and out him in jail. While incarcerated, Carson was treated with the utmost courtesy. He was not searched, nor compelled to confine himself to his cell and the cell corridor. He had the liberty of the well-lighted and well-ventilated rotunds, only zong to his large, comfortable cell to sleep. The Colonel said to the guards in the jail: "My action is preventing the less upon Wickner's horse was perfectly softable.

I was one of a committee which waited upon Congress and represented that the constables in this district were taking everything to the colored power for the rent. I know what it was made for and what it means." The secretary of the Rialine Invincible Club, on authority of the club, called to me the "the 100 days of his commercial to jail" but Carson told him he was going to serve out his five days. "I knew I was right, and was not going to see a poor colored man's team taken away the just because the owner was ignorant of the law," the colonel is at present employed as custodian of the District building, and though he is a prominent member and the founder of the Rialine Invincibles he is no longer responsible for his own way now on health and so cannot show how active he will be in the campaign of 1908 for the Presidential election. He is beloved by his fellow members and esteemed by the citizens of the District and in nothing is a potent influence with the leaders of the race.

Makes hair grow long, straight soft, and si ky; cures dandruff and stops falling hair. Kink-ine acts like magic on the hair. Kink-ine Is No Experiment. It was discovered by R. Roberta, a famous English chemist, who has made a study of the scalp of colored people for the past 30 years, and who, after much time and experience, has prepared this great tonic for the colored people. He has experience and study have taught him that the scalp of the colored people require a special treatment and after laboring these many years he has discovered the greatest REMEDY the WORLD has ever known for the HAIR of colored people. KINK-INE will make the hair GROW from one to three inches per month, if the directions and instructions are carefully followed out. We have many cases on record where the above results have been obtained, and we do not hesitate when we make these claims. KINK-INE is the only safe preparation in the world that is guaranteed to make the hair straight and make dry hair smooth and stop it from breaking off and falling out; takes out all the kinks and knots, cures dandruff, makes the hair soft and silky, and by nourishing the roots gives it new life and vigor, restoring it to natural color. READ what Miss Elizabeth Jones says of KINK-INE: "My hair was not more than three inches long when I commenced to use Kink-ine six months ago. I have used it steadily since that date and it has grown on an average of two inches each month and it is now more than fifteen inches long. Besides, my hair has become almost straight and I fully believe by the end of the year I will have the most beautiful head of hair of any colored lady in the world.

From The New York World Several of the alleged victims of the promoter of the Afro-American Industrial Expansion Company, which purposed holding a Lincoln cottontail world fair in 1900, visited the District Attorney's office yesterday and poured their tales into the ear of Assistant District Attorney Paul Kroel, George L. Pryer, president of the company, for when a "John Doe" subpoena had been issued, did not appear. Witnesses told how they were induced to part with their savings for stock in the million-dollar scheme, paying anywhere from 10 cents to $1 a share. It was asserted that the officers of the company voted themselves blocks of stock, no follows: Pryer, 65,000; Sakomon Johnson, secretary, 80,000, and R. L. Perry, counsel, 35,000 shares, thus aborting 130,000 of the 200,000 shares of promotion stock, in addition to voting them out. The company paid $12,000 in taxes that Pryer's salary in $12,000 each and Johnson's and Perry's $10,000 each. Among those who claim to be victims of the promoters of the Afro-American Industrial Exposition Company, which which coin Centennial World's Fair, in C. Summer Burroughs, who says he was induced by President Pryor and his associates to finance the land purchase scheme. Pryor and his associates, Mr. Burroughs, and Mr. Burroughs, certificate, non-assessable and guaranteed. He said that he had associated himself with another well-known white man, and that they secured an agreement for an option upon forty acres of the estate of P. J. Burroughs, near Alysium, near Hastings-on-the-Hudson, which could be bought for $65,000 upon easy terms. Mr. Burroughs said that some one in his company went over his head and secured the option upon the land, and that the directors of the Afro-American Company entered into a deal by which they were to take half of the land at $80,000, the sum to be paid to the acquainted by stock. Thus the acquainted sought, according to Mr. Burroughs, to pay more for half of the property than the owner charged for the whole. Owing to the protests of Mr. Burroughs, who threatened to court, the deal did not go through. The Afro-American Industrial Exposition Company was incorporated in 1905 in the District of Columbia for the purpose of holding a Lincoln Centennial Exhibition near New York city in 1900. It was conceived secretly and has hingered along for nearly two years. Awarded the city mayor or mayor of holding an industrial exhibition in the interests of the colored citizens of the country, the undertaking to be financed and managed as well as officersed by "meen brothers" throughout the land, but with three strings held by Pryor and his friends. Pryor and his associates had a sheaf of green and gold stock certificates enclosed in a box, and in the lower left-hand corner. They issued an attractive little prospectus, on the fly leaf of which Pryor was represented as president; President R. R. Johnson, president; President S. S. Sawanen, third vice-president; Robert Small, Colector of Internal Revenue at Beafort, S. C., fourth vice-president; Bahamian Johnson, clerk in the Interior; School of Sawanen, third vice-president; Robert Small, Colector of Internal Revenue at Beafort, S. C., fourth vice-president; Bahamian Johnson, clerk in the Interior; School of Sawanen, third vice-president; Robert L. Larry, a lawyer of Brooklyn, counsel, and R. W. Thompson, clerk in the War Department in Washington, auditor-in-chief. Pryor said Robert T. Washington was deeply interested. The leaflet also asserts that there will be a director-general with an elaborate staff of superintendents, an advisory staff of staff of the board, a distinguished friend of the race, specialists and others, acting in an advisory capacity to the supervising architect" and an auxiliary board of 200 prominent men in the race. The board is a president and fire commissioner. There was also to be a board of lady managers. The capital stock was divided into one million shares of a par value of one dollar each, 200,000 being "promotion stock" to be sold and "stock" to be sold as treasury stock. The intending investor was assured that he could not fail to realize more than 600 per cent. upon his outlay. He were printed showing that the net earnings of the scheme would approximate $4,000,000. Investors were told that they could not lose because the stock was guaranteed by the New York Realty and Trust Company, and were printed in the directories. Pryor told prospective investors that one of the New York Congressmen had agreed to get an appropriation from Congress of $500,000 to $1,000,000. He received near Hastings-on-the-Hudson. Having launched their scheme Pryor and his associates held a meeting. Pryor was voted an annual salary of $12,000, the secretary $10,000 and the counsel $10,000. They also assigned themselves stock without any payment into the treasury. Pryor admitted yesterday that stock had been sold up to 500 shares to colored persons. The stock book indicated the issuing of 1,200 shares at prices ranging from 10 cents to $1 a share, about $800 being paid. While he denied he had sold any of his promotion stock Pryor admitted that he did not know what others had done. He said the company owns neither property nor assets. He also admitted that there is no bank account or even treasurer and that the proceeds from the sale of stocks had been spent by the officials. Booker T. Washington, in a deep麒 from Tuskegee, Ala., Wednesday night, said he had no connection with the concern and knew nothing about it except that some time ago he was asked to take the presidency and refused. President R. Wright of the State of Illinois (Principal of the Savannah, also wired that he had no connection with the Afro-American Nation Exposition. Color Line Case Won at Lynn, Mana. LYNN.

SOCIALISM DEFINED AS INDUSTRIAL EQUALITY, SAH When It Comes to Its Own All Will Be Be able to "Take It Easy." I fear that Attorney-General Bonaparte is but very imperfectly acquainted with the philosophy of Socialism; otherwise he would not have said that an ante-bellum Southern plantation constituted a Socialistic community so far as as the Negroes were present. Any community in which slavery exists, whether it be chattel slavery or industrial slavery, is the extreme opposite of Socialism. It is the mission of Socialism to educate human flesh can be exploited for profit. Chattel slavery was an economic institution, and as such relentlessly exploited the blacks. To construct such a condition Socialism when Socialism is alienated it forms an exploitation is an extremely gross assertion. The Socialists seek first of all to establish industrial industrial equality, under which no man will have the right or power to exploit his fellow-men. By the collective communal welfare exploitation will cease. No man will have to beg for a job, no man will be condemned to penury, want, starvation or suicide for the lack of life's necessities. There will be no condition or burden of our industries and surfeited with leisure, wealth and luxury, while on the other the hard-driven many live in misery, uncertainty or on the thin edge of destitution. Is this such a bad doctrine, Mr. Bonaparte. What moral right has any person of our social profit, and yet capitalism, which is the ruling factor to-day, derives its power from this one merciless method. Its pomp, its gorgeous habitations, its luxuries and dissimulations are built upon the degradation, misery and blood—the sacrifice of the disinherited and plundered. A century ago the landed aristocracy declared against and bitterly opposed the establishment of the public school system, and the aristocracy never the mental equal said they. Plainly the free public schools were established. And what was the result? Where before education was confined to the few children who were so duly educated or who were duly out by charity to some of the poor, it was democratised so that all, rich and poor, could avail themselves of it. To the Bonapartes of that day it was a destructive innovation. The needles of the public school education now recognised as a right and also as a duty both on the part of the community and the family. It is not complete deracination of education, for the colleges are still under the control of the step and it has brought about a general diffusion of education. The masses are not plunged in ignorance as they were in the "good old days" when the aristocracy themselves the exclusive profession of education and culture and all the virtues. To say that our propertied classes are the sole intellectual or cultured products and that the rest of mankind cannot reach intellectual equality is an impudent assertion Culture is produced largely by leisure well directed, environment and example. If Mr. Romerate had been born in privation and had spent his life in a coal mine, a factory, or a sweatshop he would not have had his propitions opportunities. He would not be so glib, perhaps, in coming forward as an anologist for present conditions. The Socialists are aiming to dispense with the particular kind of sortid class "culture" which lives on the rocking and degradation of men, women and children. The "culture" of the rich in New York city, with its 80,000 dispenses common a year. Its "breed lines," its trangle life, dark and forbidding under a superficial gavety, is not the sort of "culture" wanted. With industrial equality will come a chance for all to enjoy the high and beautiful thines of life, to get true cultures and to expand the individual aspirations to the utmost.

Apply this same rule to the question, lawyers and pharmacists. They have ability, and when one fails to qualify your requirements go to another. They have pride and help build up these professional men, who have spent large amounts of money to obtain the knowledge necessary to fit themselves for your service. The larger number of them deserve their support. You are not drawing the color line by following this, you are through such support encouraging others to go into the professions and opening up opportunities for them. The eighty thousand Negroes in New York city should have all kinds of enterprise to offer to them. A large amount of money is on deposit in the various banks which could be readily turned into business if the amounts of this money could be assured of a paying per cent. of the people, but as we are prone, support to enterprises created by white people instead of to our own, so that colored men and women with other race thinks of and supports their own life, building the enterprise of their own. The colored people give little thought to this, but continue to assist in building up and strengthening the enterprises owned by white people, weakening their own and creating the impression that they are lacking in the fundamentals of We spend in New York city each year $200,000 in shoes, $500,000 in hats, $100, $500 in underwear, $500,000 in top cloth, $500,000 in food, $500,000 in exaggerated, but it will be an idea of the vast sums spent, and will save per cent. costs to our credit. In all of the cities of the North this condition obtains, and in the South used also to be the rule, but conditions there are gradually cementing the people in the National Negro Business League in working earnestly to change this condition by creating a sentiment favorable to them. It is important that it is their bounden duty to begin to build up their own race, to develop business opportunities and to give them support. The Anglo-Saxons are preaching a dependent race is a burden, and that a productive race is a mighty help. No necessity is made by building your race up, or making possible the employment of the schools and colleges. More confidence in each other is what is needed; more hurdles, few resolvers; a more practical resolution, recognizing the importance of the schools and colleges in the first law of nature, that bank accounts, banks, property holders, business enterprises of all kinds, beginning small, made strong through unremitting support, are the envoy in making a people strong and unrestrained. Character is rebellion, and money whisely helps, although it is said to be the root of all evil. Get as much of the root as you can, and take it with it. It will naturally aid you in educating your children, make comfortable and happy homes. Build churches and schoolhouses, create libraries and pay your funeral expenses when you die. FRED R. MOORE. National Organizer. IMBOTION IN THE PHILIPPINES. The President Authentifies a General Polling for a Popular Assembly. WASHINGTON, March 8, 1902. The vice president orders to-day the authority of the Philippine civil government act of July 1, 1902, calling for a general election for the choice of a popular Assembly by all the people of the Philippines, except Moros and non-Catholic tribes. The order follows a resolution of the Philippine Commission certifying that for a period of two years after the completion and publication of the decree, the commission general and complete peace, with recognition of the authority of the United States, has continued to exist and now exists in all the Philippine territory not inhabited by Mosque or other Christian groups. The resolution of the commission upon which the President took action in ordering the election of the Philippine Assembly says that since the publication of the decree which the law of 1902 provides for the establishment of the public order except those caused by the outlaws and bandit chieftains Belardo and Montalon in the Provinces of Batangas and Cavite, and those caused in the provinces of Samar and Leyte by hostile Christians in the Philippines living in the mountain districts. The overwhelming majority of the people of Cavite, Batangas, Samar and Leyte, however, have not taken part in any disturbances and have not aided in the unwillingness of the bandits and Pula- THE STRIKER STRIKES THE SOUTH. Mayor Makes Fruits Efforts to Arbitrate Company "Stands Pat." institution Montgomery, Ala., March 28.—The immensely important Traction Company gave up its rehappening to operate street cars in Montgomery for the first time, and will, of one hundred and fifty motormen and conductors, only seven remained with the company.

Overlooking Congregations, Beautiful Flowers and Elaborate Business Servi- ces When the front doors were opened at St. Philip's P. E. church, West 25th street, at 10.45 a. m. for the principal service of the Easter celebration the waiting through quickly filled the pews and aisles and vestibule soon rose to a premium. The service was characterized by the joyous spirit of the Resurrection, as manifested in the tasteful floral decorations and choral music. The Easter Resurrection was treated in a thoughtful and convincing manner by the pastor, Rev. Hutchens C. Bishop, who emphasized the marvelous nature of Christ's rising from the earth and unarmed temporary witnesses to that event. The holy communion was celebrated at this service, the rector acting as celebrant, in full eucharistic restations, assisted by the curate, and the principal musical entities that probably no church in the city had a program equal to that presented by Choirmaster Bolin and rendered with rare fidelity and animation by the vested male choir, supporting the principal musical elements. The principal feature was Beethoven's Communion Mass in C. with the following anthems: Introit, "Awake, Thou That Sleepest," by John Stainer; "The Sky," by Behold, Ye Despersei; and by Horatol W. Parker. The Easter offering amounted to over $000. Next Sunday night will occur the Sunday school Easter celebration. The Bishop of the successor St. Philip's P.

Mother Zion Church Eastertide was fittingly celebrated last Sunday at Mother Zion by two splendid mermons, fine music and large attendances. Dr. McMullen, the pastor, preached the day and he has never done better, while the discourse of Dr. M. R. Franklin in the evening was an able and effective effort. Mme. Minnie B. Johnson developed into a full-fledged directress and seconded the number of different numbers was almost perfectly rendered and gave every evidence of careful and thoughtful training. The feature of this fine musical program were the two baritone solos of Prof. C. A. Logan, who heard him. The stringed orchestra was led by Prof. George Johnson of Newark. The Easter exercises in the afternoon by the children were very interesting and entertaining which were augmented by the two piano solos of Prof. T. R. Green, the Mrs. Lott Green, each of whom rendered acceptable solos. The Varkid Christian Endeavor also arranged an Easter program, which was managed by Mrs. Hertha Reynolds, Mrs. Nancy Chase, Jackie McMullen, Mrs. Tubla and Master Clarence Mood were the principal participants. Mrs. Matthews Was a Remarkable Woman From The Sorlandfield (Mass.) Republican. A remarkable woman of the Neo race was Mrs. Victoria Earle Matthew, a native of New York, who was born for fifteen years a most useful guide among her people in New York city, and her special object of devotion was the White Rose mission work for purity, in which she was a leader. She was also a member of the New York Sun, and she had glory in the New York Sun, and she had nerves, intimate English and often impressive. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, APRIL 4. 1907. PHILADELPHIA. April 1.—For the second time within four days, James Parker, the brave Afro-American who tried to save the life of President McKinley in Buffalo, N. X., during the Pai-American Exposition, by striking up the arm of Oclogne, the asminin, as he fired the fatal shot, has been arrested and placed under examination for malnutrition. Parker was committed to the iname department of the Philadelphia Hospital by Dr. T. J. Eillinger, surgeon for the Sixteenth District, Sunday night, and is being held pending the results of the hospital surgeon's examination. Last Thursday Parker was detained in Atlantic City for acting strangely on the street, but later he was released, and money was given him with which to return to his former home, Savannah, Ga. Officer Felton of the Sixteenth District, however, found him behaving in a peculiar manner at the corner of 44th street and Lancaster avenue, early Sunday evening, and he had a hearing before Magistrate Boyle on a charge of vagrancy, but continuing to act in that peculiar manner he was sent to the hospital. An examination of his condition was made by Dr. L. D. Freesco, assistant chief resident physician at the hospital, but conclusion as to his sanity had not been announced. Parker, since the McKinley assassination has led a checked career; he is a tall, handsome-looking fellow. Senator Mark Hanna procured for him an appointment as messenger for the United States Senate, in connection with the investigation of McKinley's life. After the death of Senator Hanna, Parker west on a lecturing tour, telling of his experience at the assassination. This seems to have unbalanced his mind, as all his rambles and sentiments in his psyche is felt for him, and he will be well taken care of. Clinton J. Lewis, the well-known Broad Street Station barber, has organised a stock company for the manufacture of signers; capital $10,000. They are the avenue building at 1520 Catharine street. The Kaigh avenue Baptist church, at Ninth street and Kaigh avenue. Camden, was dedicated Sunday, in the presence of a large number of Afro-Americans. The Kaigh avenue was presided by W. H. Philippe, president of Shiloh Baptist church, this city. Prominent citizens assisted Sunday afternoon in installing the officers of the only Afro-American interdenominational church of the Brotherhood of Andrew W. H. Philippe, and the services were held in Model Hall, 614 South 17th street. Addresses were made by John Wanamaker, the Rev. Dr. Charles A. Dickey, and Hon. George H. White, a former North Carolina Congressman. Dr. Thomas Bivima, president; Dr. George L. Bayton, second vice-president; James E. Martin, secretary; James Netter, financial secretary; and G. Harris Scroggins, treasurer. The organization, which has more than one hundred members, is based on the name of Samuel C. Armstrong, the founder of Hampton Institute. Frank A. Small, lately with Buffalo Bill, is in the city completing details for the exhibit from the Philippine Islands, which will consist of 150 natives of the islands selected by William Alex. Sutherland of the War Department. These natives represent five tribes from various parts of the archipelago and are said to represent all stages of civilization among the islanders. Among the people will be a number of children who will attend school while on exhibition at Jamestown. Increased pay for the rank and file of the police force of this city was insured on Thursday, when Mayor Weaver affixed his signature to the ordinance recently passed by councils. This provides for an appropriation of $106,000 to advance the pay of patrolmen and substitutes. The increase will commence July 1, and will affect three hundred and one Afro-Americans who are in the service. A bill was introduced in the Legislature on Thursday by Mr. Ramsey of York, making it unlawful after January 1, 1908, for persons of Caucasian descent to marry persons of Afro-American descent or are 328 intermarriages in this city. Because he objected to being carried past his street, the Rev. William Penn, pastor of the 'Ogontz African Baptist church, was arrested Friday evening at the request of a friend of the Germananton station. The Rev. Penn had charge of the services at his church that evening, and after they ended he boarded a car to go to his home at 420 Bittenhouse street. At Chelten avenue and York road he was charged with an unlawful demand to know why he had not asked for it in getting on the car. While the preacher was insisting on getting his transfer, the conductor ran the car on another block and when the revered objected to that he knew him and asked him who sent him to the station. He was locked up for a couple of hours before he secured his release. William Sheaff, an Afro-American, of 1217 Lombard street, was appointed a fireman yesterday by Director McKenny. He was sent to the South streets. He accords Stephen Prune, who was killed in a fire in Filbert street last month. Prune was the only And so on.

C., will be running in the first race in a third race at 600 yards, on June 6, in New York on an outdoor track. The men have met twice and each has a first race after a grand struggle by six inches. Hillman captured the second event by a square marzipan, and there are no other runners in the world who have even a chance against these stars. Parsons, a Yale tried to run them off their foot in the first race and found he was outclassed in Pennsylvania crack and the Gotham finer. It has been suggested that each man select a passerman for the contest. Hillman has said he would call on Paul Pillar, who was the first passerman, teammates starting, while Taylor said he had several mates on the Red and Blue team who would trail him in an easy winner. He refused to make a selection. He said he would call on "Nat" Cartmill, of the University of Pennsylvania, the intercollegiate 100 and 200 yard spinner, or J. V. Mulligan, the great Pennsylvania freshman runner, formerly of Georgetown. Cartmill could be called by anyone, perhaps he could carry him a tricolor too feet for Hillman.

The mineral surveyors own shares at 80 cents per cent, or about $140 to the ten copper. There are already 2,699 feet of works and governmental sight ready to be mined. The treasury stock now offered at 80 cents a share is for further development work and must be acquired until you have investigated the merits of the investment.

Senator Littlepence of West Virginia Believes in a Square Deal for All of the People and is Not Hampered by President Bill Clinton To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: To the Editor of Life New York Age: I have received a letter in March 21, 1907, in which you have paid me a very kind compliment, and which I appreciate a very great deal I am also gratified to notice the size and importance of your paper. I am the descendant of a Southern family, of Southern people, but I have never been asked what I could for the interest and welfare of the colored people. While a member of the Senate here I did all I could for the colored institutions of this State. I tried to treat them with fairness in every respect. I would like to be in a position where I could provide more life to the upbuilding of your people as a race. There are thousands of good and strong men of your race of people all over the land, and as time rolls on they are becoming more educated, more thought, education and politics, in my judgment, their only salvation in this country. My observation has been, and my belief is that the Southern people feel a greater interest in the well-being of their people. Northern people do. This general rule is subject of course, to many exceptions. Every man has a soul to save, and rights which are sacred to him, he be color or young, rich or poor, black or white, rich or poor, official or positions should be broad enough, and fair enough to accord to every citizen full and equal rights under the flag and Constitution of this Government. I have striven to be my own aim as a Senator of this State, and shall be so long as I remain in that important position, to look well and thoroughly to the very best interest of all citizens of the nation, to the politics or religion, and to this extent I have not on all matters voted in the Senate in harmony with my political affiliations, but on all matters I have been governed by the decisions of the Senate, and I must make to any man or class for my course, which I am very glad to say has met with universal approval among fair-minded men. I do not quite understand the source of my motivation concerning myself, but must confess that you very accurately report me. The effort of you and your people should be, as doubtless it is, toward the upbuilding of your race, and it should be the ambition of every American free man to lend those like you a helping hand. Very truly yours. o Cents orchestra, 75 Cents $6.00 Performance at 8 sharp TWENTY-TWO HEIRS CLAIM AN OLD SLD 'S' CASH Stephen Skeller's Original Deposit of $400 Made in 1823 Has Grown to $8,000. One of the most complicated cases on record in the recovery of "dead" funds in savings banks is being investigated by William P. Hamilton, Jr., and Albert J. Graves, investigators of No. 24 roadway, in which he divided a $5,000 per among twenty-two hungry heirs. Stephen Skeller or Scarr who was born a slave in Elkton, Md., came to this city in 1823, and the following year deposited $400 in the Chambers Street bank, now the Twenty-second Avenue, at Fourth avenue and Twenty-second Street. In August, 1824, he drew out $12. The bank was unable to find any of the heirs. In 1901 George A. Smythe of No. 64 St. Nicholas avenue, took hold of the case. He found two heirs, John and William Skeller, in the same avenue, and John Alfred Skeller, of No. 52 Fifth avenue, Brooklyn, and had them appointed administrators of the estate. Charles C. Halpine, who was the attorney of record for the administrators, died in 1824. He was supplanted by William and Caldwell. Lawyers, who received $100. Then other heirs suddenly turned up. They went to Lawyer Graffee and asked him to get the whole account rejudicated. With Lawyer Hamilton he filed object to the account and office and Edward G. Whitaker of No. 141 Broadway, was chosen referee. A hearing will come up on Monday. With compound interest of 74 years the amount would be about $6,000. Searr alleges that he has not had what he fainted and with twenty other heirs has placed a claim in Lawyer Hamilton's hands. Information for Correspondents We wish very much that, as far as possible, correspondents of THE Ace would send us real live news, and not so much opinion. We can manufacture opinion right here in the office. When the most part, is fresh up-to-date news. In selecting this news we wish that our correspondents might give preference to that character of news which shows the proximate nature of the property, in building homes, in education, moral and religious activity. The white impers tell us enough about the crime of the race; let our correspondents devote themselves to showing just what the crime is in uplifting itself in each community.

Let us cease to be idle any longer. There are many business enterprises conducted by foreigners. We patronize and make them rich, while we ourselves remain poor. After we have made these foreigners rich: they snub us as any other white man does. Let us unite our men and some of the thousands of dollars we are spending with others, and spend some of them in our own enterprise. Unless we make situations for our boys and girls our race will forever be a drawer of water and hewer of wood. We are looking for Fred R.
