AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION NEW YORK, THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1907 Higher Possibilities of Life Strongly Dealt with in New Book—Business League Activities. CHICAGO, May 7—Charles W. Cheenut's much read story, "The Wife of His Youth," has been dramatized by Mrs. Cella Parker Woolley, head of the Douglas Center of this city. It was presented to an appreciative audience in Oakland Music Hall, on Monday evening, April 30, by an anateur company of bright young Afro-American of this city. Those who have read the story will perhaps be surprised that out of this simple little klycle story of servitude and freedom there could be found material that would so easily lend itself to dramatization. With her fine insight for spiritual values, Mrs. Woolley finds much soul woven in this romantic story that has grown out of the hateful conditions of slavery. The play has been written in three acts as follows: Act I: "Ole Marne's Plantation." "Outside Lay Ann's Kitchen," song, "The Dinner Horn." "Lily Ann's Sam," and the "North Star." "Sam's Escape." Act II: twenty-five years later. In Mr. Ryder's hearty song, "Not Your Big Sir." Lily Ann's return. ACT III: Mr. Hyder and his guests, including the "Dinner Party," with toast, squirrel. Original music by N. Clark Smith, who alleged the orchestra of colored musicians. The stage setting of the play was quite in harmony with the spirit of the story, and a faithful portrayal of contrasting characters is essential by our people in Chicago has been so well done as this stage enactment of Mr. Chestnut's story. There was not a false or coarse note in the entire program. I had brought out so truthfully and happily the real contrast between the age of servitude and the later days of freedom and fellowship. How almost inconceivable the contrast between the kitchen" and the modern drawing room that belongs to the Afro-American aristocrat of to-day. In all this there was nothing strained or suggestively impassioned. It was a simple story that had no sanction in law, custom or human sympathy is nevertheless a thing sacred in spite of time and misfortunes. It might be fittingly called a sermon story, the human heart keeps faith with itself. "Of the making of books there is no end." But few of the countless many win the interest of the reading constituency. Fortunate indeed is the volume of commands and holds the attention of the world. Newer Ideas of Peace, by John Addams, of Hull House, is one of the latter class. I think it can be truly said of this book that no student of present day conditions of human society can afford to say that the new ideas of peace helped by its reading. Let no one be deceived by the title of this book. It does not deal with the remote subject of peace as the operation of war. "The Newer Ideas of Peace" bears searching study for a new spirit akin to the Golden Rule in the near and every day world of industry and social contact. The fighting mood of today as it manifests itself in the government of cities, in politics, in the treatment of women and children, in the treatment of children and in the race problem, are among the things dealt with in this volume. Miss Addams gently leads us by the hand toward a consideration of human society when newer ideas of peace are taking place from the outgrown and false ideals of militarism. This book does not deal with Utopia, but with the higher possibilities of human life. It makes, a persuasive for freedom, join the shackles of eighth grade, and reign of newer ideas of peace in all human relations. Miss Addams makes a strong point in calling attention to the fact that we have unconsciously outgrown all ideas that have its root in militarism. The new book for Afro-Americans to read and study. None more than this us suffer from the study. None more than this makes it A careful study of this book would have no good effect of helping us to a more conscious understanding of the new grief upon our duties and responsibilities. The Chicago Business League reorganized on Thursday, May, 1, suburb S.W. Trice as its new president. Mr. Trice is the first African-American appointed day goods manager in the North and colored management. He and his associate officers promise to make the League mean something in the development of the business interests among the colored people of this city. Already they have a large delegation from Chicago to Topeka Miss Maud Johnson is probably the highest salaried young colored woman in Chicago excepting the school teachers. She passed the Civil Service examination for a position in the Department of Superintendent of Public Schools, and was appointed with an annual salary of $000. Miss Johnson is an encouragement example of what is possible for our young women. She is the first woman appointed some time ago made a fight to obtain for her a position in a publishing house. After much vexation in resisting all kinds of prejudice, she was finally appointed a position in the department she good, and held her position successfully against every kind of human weakness and characteristic of color prejudice. She finally won the esteem of every one by her gracious manner and kindness to meet every demand made upon her. FANNIE HARRIER WILLIAMS. CAPT. MACKLIN NOT GUILTY.

Mr. Benjamin Sutton, a prominent colored citizen of Plainfield, died suddenly from a stroke of apoplexy Friday afternoon at a 4 o'clock. He was buried from a casket in the Plainfield cemetery, and his funeral was attended by a large number of friends from out of town. The services were conducted by his pastor, Rev. F. D. Tilson, assisted by Rev. W. A. Alexander of Brooklyn. Edwin T. Japos, and Miss Bede Graham, both of Plainfield. He was a member of Bethel chapel, Prebystrian church, and during the whole of his life is Plainfield, which extended over thirty years, he had a family of six. S. A. Ginus, the founders of the chapel. In speaking of the life of Mr. Sutton the pastor said: "In the eleventh chapter of Hebrews and latter part of the fourth verse are these words: 'He being dead yet speaketh.' It was the wish of our deceased brother—wish which, was often exerted until curtains were erected, vice held over his remains should be brief and simple and as free as possible from formalities. And while there are many things, which might be said of him in most worthy praise, we prefer in deference to that wish to speak "Wisely," mentioning only a few of those qualities by which he was distinguished in this community and in the church of which he was a valued member. "It is seldom we are called upon to speak concerning the life of one who has lived so long in the community and who has become so widely known and revered that we can speak of life without doing very much either of good or evil to attract wide attention and without making more than a feeble impression upon our surroundings. In a sense we are like the driftwood on the shore of a lake, where we can place by the current of circumstances, and so pass out of this little stream of life into the great ocean of that larger life, having left behind only a surface ripple. Our mistakes and failings are full as the sun rises and sets, and in the rush of events in it of the great rush of events. But not so of our brother about whose silent form we gather this afternoon. He grappled with his evil star And stemmed the tide of circumstances. "His life had its moorings here in Blainfield. He was part and parcel of its life, and he was part of it. He has left a void in the community from which he was taken. For more than thirty years he was a resident of this city, sharing in all of its privileges and contributing in all things according to his strength, to its well-being. He was conceived and born in this city, and And-to-day his life is before all of us as an open page. You can see what was the trend of that life, what the direction he sought to give it. You may read, no doubt, upon that page the story of many mistaken and blundered and failures, but And-to-day his life is the story of a large measure of success. "An citizen he strove to be and to show himself a man amongst men. He was firm, fearless and of resolve spirit. His bearing was that of one who knew the truth, and believed in good government and regarded the right of franchise as a second trust. In general, he adopted the principles of the Republican party, but he was non-partisan in municipal affairs. He adhered always to his own convictions and beliefs, and could not be bought nor persuaded not influenced for private ends. "As a member of his race he was loyal to its interests. He was, however, free from clamishness and plastered no sympathy upon the lawless and vicious clan of the settlers, but believed in the betrayment of the race, but believed in the most practical methods of bringing about that result. And by habits of industry and of thrift and economy he strove to give expression to that belief. He acquired this home into which he lived, and of house he gave to his family the necessary domestic comforts of life. "To those not well acquainted with him our brother gave the impression of being unduly stern. His manners were blunt, unconventional, unimpulsed. But those who were not well acquainted kindly mature; that he was hospitable to his friends, that he was sympathetic to those in want and that he was sinuous. Beneath that rough exterior there was a tenderness of heart which only a few would be able to state. Of this we need no better evidence than the fondness he had for animals and for little children and the attraction with which they seemed drawn toward him. The fact that this brother had his faults is simply to say that he was human; that he was one of us. Perhaps he was as well aware of them as any one of us, as we who heard his voice at different times in the prayer meetings had reason to believe that, after all, affection affords the standard by which our character and lifework shall be tested, not whether we have faults or not, nor whether they are small or great, but that by which the real quality of our lives shall be determined, is the struggle to overcome these faults. "In the church this brother was a most active worker. For years before he became a member he lent his influence to the work at Bethel chapel. For a long time he was the leader and manager of its activities, and in the writings and in all the social functions of the chapel, and his home was regarded as a center of Bethel life. He enjoyed the distinction of being one of the charter members of the Sunset chapel of its existence. He attributed the change of heart which he claimed to experience in later life largely to the Christian influences of the family in which he had always been employed and he seemed to regard his position as one of perennial admirable qualities. His special social obligations to be faithful. He was a regular attendant upon public worship and only last Sabbath occupied his seat in our midst. His church life had its reflection in the home, and here at the fireside he set up the family altar, and every morning he led the members in household in their devotions at the throne of grace. "Ir all those things which I have recounted to you our brother still lives and will continue to live in our midst, as an angel, and to encourage and to inspire others to seek that which is true and abiding. I command to you, my friends, not the Rivals, the defenders of our land, but its allies of our land. I call upon you in the name of all that Bethel chapel stands for and in the name of our Great Commander, not to fail, but to strengthen the things that remain, and to strengthen the renewed goal to still larger usefulness." QUEER WAYS OF FRENCH WOMEN Economy in Housekeeping Their Watchword MME. HACKLEY IN PARIS Fire and Soup Scarce and Cold and Dampness Are Not Things to Worry About. Special Correspondence to THE AUK. PARIS, April 26.-Living with a French family has its advantages and its discomforts also in the eyes of an American. The French not only do not understand American preferences and habits, but they have no respect for them. The proprietaire at my first pension, each morning when she cleaned my room, persisted in removing all of the toilet articles, bringing them back each night. This was done to keep the room looking like a parlor, so was obliged to carry water, back and forth to the kitchen, and to perform solutions at the kitchen sink, as the family did. The French will have clean floors if the dust is an inch thick on the mouldings. A great deal of time is spent polishing and cleaning large rugs are not generally used. The floors are scraped by rubbing cherry cuttings over them with the foot; this gets out the grease, mud or any other stains, and the floor is waxed. A huge pile of dust is added to a wedge-shaped contrivance, and plenty is rubbed on; then the floor brush, which has a strap to hold it to the foot, is brought into use. A regular jig is danced on the floor to remove dust and adopts in using both feet with equal skill. Sunday morning is a favorite time for floor cleaning among the poorer classes. Laxity in cleanliness in the French home is particularly noticeable in the way lamp lamps are always tiny unless they are hanging lamps, and the rims of the globes of the latter, so often sometimes surrounded with candles, making an imposing specimen of light. Lamps are sold in a sodium lighted. In some parlor it has seen the most wonderful looking chandeliers of pink and blue clouded glass, an antique as they are fragile. When elecromagnets are little power that it is no better than a lamp, and lights are not lit here until it is absolutely necessary. The French are not given to an annual housecleaning as are Americans, and the hotels and hotels patronised by Americans is a source of much annoyance to those of a domestic turn of mind. There is often a small nuity in the houses and apartments where the dust is covered which have absorbed tobacco fumes and cooking odors, but the French do not seem to mind bad smells. Often they cannot smell anything because their air is impregnated with the mixed odor of meat, oil and garlic which they love so well. Dishwashing is reduced to a science. There are few tea kettles to be seen in France; the dishpan is put on the stove with the amount of water necessary, and a mop is used to wash the dishes. Snaps are used to put the dishpan into the water throughough every plate has been neatly cleaned with the brand. The glasses are not wiped after rinsing and turned down on the allotment on top of the armoire and left to dry; they are however, occasionally used. The silver plated article is not popular, so they have an even more knife-going to do than American boys. Petit dejeuner, or breakfast, is only a bowl of coffee, milk, chocolate, coffee and bread and butter, and Americans soon become accustomed to this meal for breakfast. It is often boiled milk and half coffee, and it is very well liked in France, although Americans prefer cream in coffee. No table setting is necessary for petit dejeuner, as the bowl is often held in one hand and the other in the kitchen, the dining room or bedroom, as they prefer. Dejeuner corresponds to our breakfast meal, and is served in courses with wine. The French sedum drink tea or coffee with their principal meals, unless it is the company. The whole meal of the day is "dinner" the evening meal as many cat dejeuner in restaurants. Often there is only the great tureen or a pot of soup on the table, but with a vegetable and a little cheese or meat, the meal is full. They never hurry at this meal, and after it they read the evening taters and to go bed, unless they attend the theatre or sit in a cafe the balance of the evening, listening to the really good orchestra which every large cafe has. There are very little washing and ironing in the room, and it is done to dry the weekly wash, and then it is done out very reasonably, although not enough starch is used to please Americans. It is not the custom in France to wear any more white clothes than is abbreviated in the English word walets are not the rule; only Americans can afford such luxuries. A French woman wears gloves to handle coal tongs, coal shovel or when she pares potatoes, but she seldom wears an apron. In another she is a servant or belongs to an apron she is a small rounded, polished, ruffled affair of colored goods. When a colored house shirt is soiled it is sent to the laundry, as are moulins' trousers. There are an great tea drinkers as are the English, who are comfortable and delight in serving tea—good tea at that; oftimes they add a dash of rum. An dinner is served in the neighborhood of 7:30 to 8:30 at night, a cup of tea about 5 to 6 o'clock, a decoy, French women see Sundays as they would on any other day. In the parks one may often see them crocheting or sewing while chatting or watching their children play. After morning mass they prepare to enjoy themselves, going to cone balls, the balls or other attractions. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND A THIRD TERM Col. Watterson and Paul Morton Bear Tentimony. LOUISVILLE. May 2—In answer to a direct interrogation of the Boston Journal and the Washington on Times as to his authority for saying that he accepts Mr. Washington's third term, Henry Witter will print the following in the Courier-Journal to morrow: "Most willingly we answer. Except that the editor of the Courier-Journal had direct and precise information, he had not been aware of the coming to his knowledge last winter that in a company of journalists—many in number—the President said: "I know that you do not trust me, but why can't you trust me?" Why can't you trust me now, upon your honor, that if the next National Republican convention nominates me and adjourns it will have to reassemble, because I will not accept the nomination. "This came to Mr. Watterson straight from Washington. It came from two responsible sources of information. It was coupled with the assurance that those who heard it, and who had believed the contrary, went away convinced that the President meant it, and would abide by it, and hence the book him at his word for the fourth term." "As there were a number of journalists present and the incident happened in Washington, the Washington Times at best should have no trouble verifying the truth of it. Anyhow, the editor of the Times, Henry Witter, and accepts it as final, and hence he will be taken the President at his word." WINGETT, W.Va., May 2—Paul Morton, president of the Equitable, who is here today, said: "I am a strong partisan of the President, and I will not again there is not the slightest doubt the Republican National Convention would make him the nominee for President by acclamation. Many believe that he can be induced to accept it. I do not believe so. I was with him when he wrote his determination not to accept a third form as he called him, and I did not impressly and he begged it." 21,000 IN A DAY. 40,000 Immigrants Reached New York Last Week. Almost ships skimming at their piles on the North and East Rivers and on vessels anchored in the bay, between the Statue of Liberty and St. George, State University, and the last week were nearly 21,000 immigrants, the largest number of aliens ever in the port of New York at one time before. On one ship alone, the Bulgaria, from Naples, at anchor in the upper bay, were 2,734, the greatest number of aliens that ever arrived here on a ship. Citizens have come on thirteen steamers which arrived in the thirty six hours ending at eight o'clock Thursday night. Southern Democrats Have the Federal Offices. "What change has the President to get Taft delegations from the Southern States?" asks the Savannah News (Ocean) and university's own missionary: "It looks as if the President had succeeded in making himself popular with Southern Democrats and unpopular with Southern Republicans, for the former at this particular time, and the latter have no use for him. In other words, the Southern Democrats cannot help him to make Taft President, and the Southern Republicans, who can help him, refuse to do so at least, a cost more than the majority of it. If real situation doesn't proven him" to be as good a politician as he is, it crated with being." REMARKABLE IS PROGRESS REMARKABLE IS PROGRESS Thinks the Race in the Lone Star State Has the Situation Well Under Control. CALVENT, Tex., May 1.—In our literary we wheeled southward on the express train out of Louisiana last week in the wake of a beneficial and much needed rain into Texas of 3,048,710 people, which is six times as large as New York and in size the king of States in the Union. We traveled (brough Hours, Texas, we learned that the state has to the sixteenth session of the State Baptist convention, presided over by Dr. F. L.

Mills farms and mines will offer positions to Le them come. There is plenty of work in the Southwest for them and the Nortos too. The white citizens of Texas who prejudicially disfamorethin the black citizenizes and denominate an ago are stung to madness and denominate a tax, they say, on everything it could think of except a man kissing his wife, saying his prayers and going to church, legislature, will have taxes for them when he is not in the morning prayer in the Texas legislature at Austin on April 1, which shows that he is a buzzing saw not to be monkeyed with, Chaimplain Joyce tarly said, "Oh, tooey causing the laws recently enacted. Why do they not come and curse the lawmakers? Perhaps they have a wholesome fear that their teeth will be knocked down tooey causing the trusts of those stalwart lawmakers!" It is enough to make every law-abiding person start and tremble with horror and even indignation when he reads the following facts wherein a white murderer killed an innocent girl upon some innocent Negro to be brutally lynched by the mob. Many a black man has been killed by the mob on account of the lies and false accusations of white criminals. But her goes the story. Make sure you read the story on April 17, the Associate Press says that Mrs. T. T. Tissue, who was shot Saturday evening while fishing on a creek, has revived and told the story of the affair. She argued a sword statement saying her husband was a murderer. The creek. He took his wife's blood and rubbed it on his shirt to confirm his story that he was attacked by a Negro. Feeling is high and a lynching is probable. Orange State Guards, ordered by the adjutant general, are guarding the prisoner. The following excerpt clipped from *The Galveston Daily News* shows not only their activity, but is a compliment from a white paper to the Negro temperance organization, the T. U. of Texas, which is composed of all colored women who have signed the pledge and paid dues, and all men who pay dues and sign the pledge as honariaries, has just started a new enterprise, for which all rightful people will be congratulated. The *The National* official organ of their organization, made its appearance April 12. It is an eight-page monthly about the size of the *Union Signal*. Mrs. Peterson writes that is the answer to a prayy of many years that the Negro community open up such a channel through which the Negro can Texas to reach the men of the race for the home against the sloon. The white women's Local Option League of Amor de 300 to be distributed to the Negro voters of that county. Their war cry is "We want letters decorated the first page." Mrs. Peterson went to Austin Tuesday to assist in the campaign." We also also the following words of praise from a well-known Negro colony paper, *The Waco Paul Quinn Work*: Mrs. Waco Paul Quinn, a native of Texas, has been in this vicinity this week and delivered several of her very timely features. The import we cangret from her discourse was that she was not so much interested in prohibition alone, but the spirit of humanity and rizic living among the poor. We cangret their condition, Mrs. Thurman is a great woman. In our Episcopal sweep through large and small cities, towns and rural places we find that the intelligent, industrious, and hardworking people are regardless of the howls of the blunt political demagogues and unjust legging. than to keep them opened, are fully equal to their opportunity and alive to the possibilities of the future. That means that M. Johnson of Wisconsin and Edward A. a poor opinion of the land for farming purposes that he said if he owned hollow fields he would live in hollow fields and feed in the poor that the "Lone Star State," in this far of Southwest, has wonderful resources. The shredd Negroes with privileges that they borrow them and are building upon the great developments. "For the ages have rung out pious of mysteries deep as the sea. And we are but instruments, solving the problem of what is to be." In Waco, of 20,000 inhabitants, one third colored, we found the aspiring N grove engaged in the grocery, printing beauty, music, undertaking and operat business, and operate Pascal Quinn Lines. The weekly Observer and Pascal Quinn Weekly are their journals. Pascal Quinn College, A. M. E., and the Baptist Central Texas College, represent ative schools, are largely attended. Dr. B. S. Muller, of C. D. Merritt and Pascal Muller and G. D. Merritt beat the sick. The Diamond Drug Company is spacious and well-stocked. Miss Carrie Watson, the accomplished stenographer and typewriter, who will graduate this year as a physician, will graduate this year, we expect to fill the prescrip- tion. She is a minister's daughter. We spent a day in Dallas, called the New York or Chicago of Texas. It is a great market and manufacturing center and capitalists from the North and East are investing millions of $8,000 people 20,000 of that number being Negroes. The Negroes are successfully conducting business of various kinds and have a first-class drug store, 12 physicians, a sanitarium well-equipped and owned well-cottoned, one factory, one Mrs. W. E. Bryant, thirty churches, one being a Catholic, ten lawyers, one undertaker, several real estate dealers, four public schools, one high school, with over 2,000 pupils, 45 teachers getting from $50 to $100 a month; one business well-cottoned, one factory, one Negro keeps busy repairing bicycles; the Dallas Express and The Missionary Review of the C.M. E. denomination. Mr. C. E. Griffin, a Negro contractor, grader, excavator, cement maker, own cement machine, hundreds of hands of the city, getting more work from the city than he can do, is making money hand-over-hat. He begged me to sell out my property in Washington, D. C., and Carlisle, Pa., and become a salesman for him. I told him that my position as a bishop in the A. M. E. Zion denomination would interfere. Our people are making and buying nice homes. We were glad to meet and shake hands with Rev. Drs. G. E. Elysian, ex-creditor of Southern Church of Jesus Christ, J. T. S. White and D. R. Stokes. Calvert, of 4,000 people, is almost a Negro town. The Negroes have six churches, a splendid city school, two fine drug stores, one physicist's office, and on January 1, 1007, deposited in the banks of Calvert $135,000. The Negroes of Hearne, eight miles away, on the same date deposited $10,000; and the Negroes of Hearne, on the same date, deposited $15,000. They have earned: this money by the sweat of their brow and at small wages on the farms and at sawmills. These Afro-Americans "own that economic means depended on them," they thanked. If they keep it up, they will reach the goal. When a majority at least of the Negro race learns to save and bank as much of their weekly or more only wages as possible, like the many shares in building and loan companies, get land and homes, start and patronize Negro business enterprises, two-thirds of this battle with the Anglo-Saxon will have been fought and won. No race that be indicted independently can be forever kept down. A person who spends all he makes will never accumulate. Whenever you hear spendthrift say "money was made to spend and I propose to spend it for anything that is important." "Good and his money are soon parted." Let the Negro learn to save a few pennies out of every dollar he makes, remembering that great oaks from little norms grow. The people who show that they took care of their pennies, knowing that the dollars would take care of themselves. Andrew Carnegie, who these days gives millions to charitable purposes, received $1.25 a week as wages from his employment. Independence will come to an individual race that will hear and practice these lessons. BISHOP J. W. SMITH. : Twenty-third Annual Fair. YONKEES, May 6.—The A. M. E.

In 1993, House and anti-Negro times the gift of race education is a new departure worthy of race-wide commendation. This donation is the more appreciated because it despatches the cry of popular education in the South and Hand have bequeathed a million and cause of Negro education, but it is a matter of serious doubt whether any of this money has reached the subjects intended by President Russell of Hammond and Hand, landed or subject to circumstances as the other benefits mentioned. The money is intended to aid the colored in the South and placed under the control of civil districts of the South and will exist as a subject which in multitudes of places covers an period of five or six weeks of the year.

Published on Thursday of every week by Targ New York Accts Publishing Company, in the Borough of Manhattan, New York Is Harmony in Sight? Is race harmony in sight? Are our good men and women to stop fighting each other and turn all of their guns on the common enemy? When Mr. D. R. Wilkins of The Chicago Conservator takes down the black flag, after converting Dr. Washington to his way of looking at men and things, and places the flag of harmony in its place, we have a right to rejoice, because it must have a good influence on the Afro-American atmosphere of Cook county, as well as upon the country at large. There has never been any good reason why the warring factions of the Afro-American people should not get together and compose their differences, in the general interest. Such an effort was made in the Carnegie Hall meeting several years ago, but it failed. Is there any reason why another effort should not be made? We do not know of any. There is plenty of room among us for disagreement on non-essentials, but none whatever on essentials of race rights and interests. The race needs at this time the united thought and effort of its best men and women, and it should have it. Mr. Fortune Is Attending to His Own Business. Our esteemed contemporary, *The Indianapolis Freeman*, which is plethora of questions, like a child, which a philosopher often finds it hard to answer, asks: "Has Mr. Fortune wiped the Afro-American Council off his little book?" Mr. Fortune answered this question three years ago when he resigned from the presidency of the Council and from membership in most of the civic organizations with which he had been identified for a long number of years. We have no civic organization in a healthy condition. The people will not support any such. It may be, as Mrs. Clifford has said, along with others, that the leadership has been bad, but we do not believe it; it has been because the masses do not care a rap about their civic relations, either because they are too impertinent or too Mr. Fortune is attending to his own business, and spending no more time and money attending to the business of other people who will not attend to it themselves. When the Afro-American people are ripe for civic organization they will have it in a hurry. They are not ready for it now. ```markdown ``` "Following the Color Line." It is a shame that the responsible daily newspapers of the North and West should, for the most part, have on their editorial staffs Southern white men who are not concerned about the truth of the race question in the Southern States, but who are determined that the white man's side of it shall always be presented to the public in rosy colors, and that what they have to say should so often get by editors who know that the sentiment is false and intended to mislead the public, helping to create a situation which must in the nature of the case be dangerous to the peace and weal of the Nation. For there are evidences on all sides and all over that Afro-Americans are beginning to resent with physical force the vile sentiment created by the newspapers and carried into effect by the dirty and ignorant white cannail everywhere. There comes a time when the most pussillimous sort of worm will turn. Before we had read Ray Stannard Paker's second article on "Following the Color Line," in the May number of Mr. Chrice's Magazine, we had read the editorial in The New York Sun on some of the statements made by Mr. Paker, mainly that the best white people of the South knew little if anything about the best Afro-Americans of the South, and that an outsider can sometimes see things that an insider would overlook. The Sun writer as much as declares that Mr. Baker simply lies as to the facts. We can't see why The Sun should take the opposite view of the case. The whites of the South have not only forced absolutely no contact with the blacks and malatto people, except in the most distant way, but have sought by stringent legislation to place all Afro-Americans on a level of equality, which necessarily compels them to accept all white people on terms of equality with it, an absurdity in social economics. and outbreaks which disgrace the Re public and bring into disrepute its good name and reputation all over the world. Strangely enough Mr. Baker has so fat devoted himself to the general character and progressive tendencies of the Afro-Americans of the South—the business enterprises they have established, the beautiful homes they have, and the infamous restrictions of law and public opinion which are forced upon them and against which they have always to contend—instead of spending all of his time and thought and effort on the criminal and shiftless Afro-Americans, who are no better and no worse than the same sort of Southern whites, who are, in fact, as depraved a lot as the sun shines upon, and who are all the more in sufferable because they are made by their betters to think that they are as good as the average white man and better than any sort of black man. Take a creature of that kind, of whatever race, and he will be good for nothing except to smash over the head with a club when he is ugly. There are bad white men and bad black men everywhere. The theory upon which the white South is working, that all white folks are good and upon equality and that all black folks are bad and upon equality, is to upset all the theories governing social relations and to produce confusion worse confounded. This fact was admitted when "the good white people and the good black people of Atlanta" got together after the riotous slaughter of innocent black people by vile white men and policemen in September last. To admit in that way that there are good white people and bad and good black people and bad is immense gain to a clarification of the prevailing heresy. With the presence of inspiration Mr Baker has thought out the main thing which operates to provoke perpetual hell in the Southern situation, when he says: "Many Southerners look back wistfully to the faithful, simple, ignorant, credible, cheerful old plumation darkey, and deplore his disappearance... They want the New South, but the old darkey. That darkey is disappearing forever along with the old feudalism and the old-time exclusively agricultural life. "A new Negro is not less inevitable than a new white man and a New South. And the new Negro, as my clever friend says, doesn't laugh much as the old one. It is grim business he is in, this being free, this new, fierce struggle in the open competitive field for the daily loaf. Many go down to vagrancy and crime, in that struggle; a few will rise. The more rapid the progress, (with the trained white man setting the pace), the more frightful the mortality." There is the whole race question in a nutshell; which is the whole question which confronts the white South and the black South. We can't have the new South without the new Negro and the new white man. If the new white man will refuse to recognize this inevitable, then there will be war to the death between him and the new Negro. We can't have the new white South with the old black darkey. That is a cinch. --- Centralization and Egotism Captain John S. Wise, whose father was Governor of Virginia when John Brown was hung at Harper's Ferry, who lives in New York, is a good Republican, and a campaign spindler of high degree, speaking at Indianapolis last week, said: "Roosevelt, said he, 'has been squandering much of his own strength and that of the Republican party. If he is an exponent of true Republicanism, then I do not know what true Republicanism is. Rather the President seems to be an exponent of sublimic egotism. Root is authorized by Roosevelt to pay out his centralization preachings but they are not true Republicanism. The Republican party has from the beginning declared its intention to protest the individual rights of the State. The people want to be satisfied that the Republicanism of to-day advocates something other than supreme centralization founded on sublimic egotism. The fact is Mass. the people much afferent over the question of State rights as is South Carolina." The matter of centralization is correctly stated. It is not the policy of either party to unduly enroach upon the reserved rights of the States. That is a policy which President Roosevelt has inaugurated on his own account. The Republic. Masses have had no opportunity to register their opinion of it in a National convention or at the ballot box. As far as egotism is concerned, that also fits President Roosevelt, but far from being a fault it is a virtue. It is the men who believe in themselves who carry the world on their shoulders. They are the men who dominate in all of the affairs of life, from the boss blackhack to the Presidency. It is this quality of self-containment that all of the people of the country and of the world, for that matter, admire in President Roosevelt. Because he believes in himself, and because he has ideas which touch the interests of mankind, President Roosevelt has made himself a larger place in the estimation of the world than any President we have had since Abraham Lincoln. He may do a great many things that are startling and that we are bound to question, but we always admire the self-assurance with which President Roosevelt goes about whatever he puts his hand to. It is that sort of man who makes others think and who dominates development and action of mankind. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1907. Ask Your Neighbor About 10. It becomes increasingly more apparent with the years that the Afro-American people must have a strong newspaper press of their own. It will be necessary more and more that they have their own news service thoroughly organized throughout the country, in order to secure reliable and trustful accounts of matters in which they are concerned and about which the established news agencies habitually and maliciously lie, at those who gather and send the news to the central offices are in a league to lie in all such matters, and do lie, so that the Afro-American people are placarded to the world as often as occasion arises, as the most depraved of mankind, when they are oftener than not not the cause the serious troubles of which they are made the victims. The only way to remedy the existing serious condition of affairs is for the Afro-American people to have a strong newspaper press of their own, with a well-equipped news service covering all sections of the country. THE AGE is now in position to give the race a better paper than it has ever before been able to give. We have our own presses and the other necessary equipment for the production of a great newspaper. All that we need is the loyal support of the race, and we will do the rest. We have now more circulation, distributed over a wider territory, than ever before, but we want more circulation, and we are going to have more. We wish the readers of THE AGE to help us get what we want. Ask your neighbor about it; go further, get your neighbor interested in the paper. There is no reason why The Ace should not be a daily newspaper. The Mro-American people certainly need a daily paper in New York, because New York is the literary and Financial center of the United States, and the daily newspapers published here command more consideration than those published to any other part of the country. We are ready to issue a daily paper if the race is ready to support it, and between now and the Fall days we shall find out whether they do want it. In the meantime let us all put our shoulders to the wheel and double the circulation of The Ace in its weekly edition Full Liberty and Full Stomach. The argument that gluttony is an admination and a full stomach more to be desired than a full head and a big bunch of freedom is misleading, if not a begging of the question. There can be no full freedom without material competence and a manly spirit to back up, and there can be no high culture without wealth and the leisure it gives for the pursuit of it. Socially the Jews are ostracised all over the globe, and in some countries their civil rights and material opportunities are curtailed if not denied; yet the wealth of the Jews is such that if they were to withdraw the money they have on loans to nations it would paralyze the civilized world. In war and peace the money of the Jews gives them a standing which they could not otherwise enjoy; and this does not detract in the least from the influence they exercise in other than money relations. In the arts and sciences, in politics, in high finance they occupy a place in what is called the higher life which is a credit to any people; but the basic factor in the influence of the Jews the world over is their ability to make money and to place it where it will draw the most interest and do the Jewish people the most good. The Afro-American people are poor, and as long as they are poor they will be despised and hammered by all sorts and conditions of men. Floods of New People. Some forty thousand immigrants entered the United States through the port of New York last week. The spring-tide of European incomers has just set in. What are we to do with the bords of Europeans who are coming to us, most of them the cruelest character, few of them speaking the English language or having any reasonable idea of what a Republican form of government is or means, and all of whom are poor in this world's goods and must have employment almost as soon as they are lured from the leviathans of the ocean that fetch them to our shores? We have a big country, and there is constant clamor in some sections all of the time for more labor; but the opportunities to secure homesteads and a footing in the country are no longer what they were when the enormous acreage of the great West, Southwest and Northwest was open to homestead- ers. There are now few acres in the public domain for homeitenders. The man who gets a home in town, city or country has to pay for it out of the sweat of his face; and when the high cost of living is deducted from the wages of labor it requires a great many years of steady hoarding to have enough to purchase a home. And the extravagant manner which Americans have acquired in their living which the foreigner soon falls into, makes the problem of home-getting all the harder to master. But the millions who have come and who are coming must have work and room in the schools for their children, while the elders themselves have to be grounded in the rudiments of citizenship. The character of our institutions has undergone constant change, and not for the better, because of the infusion of foreign blood and ideas. Utopian theories of government and living occupying a too large place in their philosophy. What the ultimate character of the institution of government in this country will be on account of this infusion of new blood and ideas no man is able to forecast. The immigration question will be one of the main questions of the immediate future. Progress in Texas. The writer once, a great many years ago, went through Texas, and wrote his impressions of the State and the people for The New York Sun. He found the Afro-Americans of Texas a wide-awake and hustling folk, with both eyes open to the great resources of one of the largest and richest States in the Republic, and doing what they could to take advantage of the good things about them. At that time the writer subordinated in his conclusions the drawbacks in posed upon the Afro-Americans of Texas to the splendid opportunities they had for industrial and commercial advancement and advised them to make hay while the sun was shining. In The Age to-day, Bishop J. W. Smith, one of our staff correspondents and one of the ablest men in the Afro-American episcopacy, writes us a letter from Texas which confirms the writer's estimate of years ago and tells a story of progress of the people which is a sign of inspiration to all of the race in the country. No finer record could be written of any people. Texas is a great State, and to-day, as when the writer visited it years ago, it offers opportunities to intelligent, honest and industrious people which are not to be found in any other State. And we are gratified that our correspondents are catching the spirit which we have sought to impart to them of looking at the brighter and more hopeful side of life, and making note of the progress the race is making rather than dwelling always upon the sorrows it has and the disadvantages under which it labors. We shall grow more courageous and hopeful and self-concient by realizing the fact that in the life of the Afro-American there is an immense amount of light and leading, of opportunity and success, as well as much of darkness and stumbling, of disadvantage and failure, and by looking carefully upon the bright side of the picture we shall be better able to overcome the dark side of it. Marines of the United States in Cuba got into a row with the police of Santiago recently and a lot of American heaps got smashed. A great outcry has been made about it. The newspapers declare that the blacks of Cuba have it in for the American soldiers and marines and whack them whenever they have a chance. We don't blame them a bit. We rather admire their determination to get even with the Americans who have sown all over Cuba the vile seed of race prejudice and discrimination and allow no opportunity to pass to heap obliquy and abuse upon black Cubans. The Americans in the Philippines do the same thing, and are despised and hated by the natives. The American white man is as an average a hog toward all people who do not look like he does and the only thing that he respects is a whack over the head. And he should get this everywhere as often as he shows his impudence and insolence. --- Now that the time is approaching when the Filipinos are to have a National Assembly all sorts of prophets in this country are crying out against it, saying that the Filipinos are not ready for it. College commencements are in full swing and will be until June. We take an absorbing interest in these college events, the crowning ones of the year, because every one of them reinforces the competent men and women we have who are doing the pioneer work of building up the spiritual and material affairs of the race. An educated man or woman should be many times more effective as a force for good citizenship than an ignorant one, and is, despite the queer opinions of some people who think that the Afro-American people have no higher place in the life of the Republic than as muddills. Long ago the good poet said: "The loud laugh marks the vacant mind." Judged by this rule, there must be an abnormally large number of Afro-Americans with empty heads, as indicated by the guffaws which many of them shoot into space in all sorts of places without any apparent visible prosecution. The Afro-American politicians of the Southern States have not been a safe, honest, self-respecting bunch, as a whole, in the past, and that is the reason that they have lost all that they had of party force and standing. They now have a last chance to redeem what they have lost of respect of mankind and standing in the party. What will they do with the chance? Sell it for a trip to the convention city as in the past? It is very much up to them, and THE ASG proposes to see that it is kept up to them. There is too much at stake to tolerate any more vacillating and venality by them. NOTE AND COMMENT The Jamestown Expedition people are having troubles of their own. Before the Expedition has got started it has been opened with a grand tour of trumpets and its troops were put to their trumpets to get something to eat and a decent place to sleep, and the Governor of Virginia and his wife were compaled to catch a train to Jamestown. The Expedition were occupying all the carriages. The Governor's observations on the indignity are worth patting in a gilt frame. But there are other troubles. The Governor is a certain humiliation for the whole country in having the Jamestown Fair in financial difficulties before it is well under way." The Government appropriated one million dollars toward the Expedition and it was to pay a part of it, although he has no honorable place in the blamed thing. The man who does things will always command the attention and admiration of his people, the most famous of the Japanese commanders who fought the Russians to a standstill, is visiting this country and receiving the attention which he deserves. The world whirles, whatever the color of race or the man who possesses it. The white American newspapers are a queer bunch and are responsible for more bad conditions than any other influence in the country. Bert Eldridge and Mimi Anna Wouser were married in a rich Episcopal church in New York last week and the white newspapers went into hysteria in headlines that read, "The newspapers are not a way, is nothing new in the life of New York. That sort of thing has been going on for a hundred years, and will continue to create a bad feeling between, except to create a bad feeling between, such as this time. The effort to establish the humiliation that Afro-American people are are causing the African Americans who cause the American people have too much sense and decency to accept it. The important work which the National Negro Business League has accomplished in stimulating business activity among the Afro-American people is of great importance. It has the best interests of the people at heart will do other than encourage teamwork. The annual meeting at Tonka market is the business life of the people in the West and Southwest, and we believe that it will do so. What the League has done in this respect for the people of the South is to encourage the people to be the herald of letter things for the race, and as such should be encouraged and sustained all along the line. It is high time that Afro-Americans should have some representation on the trustee boards of the educational endowments of which they are made beneficiaries in part or in whole. It is true that they are the most important of the dowments, but it is a fair gamble that they know more about the needs of the Afro-American people than most of the trustees selected, who have no inside knowledge, and association with the Afro-American people. THE OHIO FIGHT The Brownville Order Playing a Conspicuous Part From the New York Sam. Corporate, May 1. The old soldier boy of Yosemite, like the President's attitude in the Brownsville matter. The old soldier element in Ohio has always played a conspicuous part in political campaigns. Senator Foraker has always been a great favorite with these old Union army as a private in the Eighty- ninth Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He served for four years and he was an excellent favorite with the late General William Teuschmil Sherman, whose brother John Sherman, Foraker worked to make President of the United States. Old soldiers, the testimony is, do not care whether a soldier is white or black; he is a soldier and there is a spirit of conduitorship among them which completes the mission. The weakness of Senator Foraker's position at the moment, it is contended, is that while he has not declared directly or indirectly that he is a candidate for the Republican residential nomination, he will follow Ohio Republican for the nomination. The weakness of the Taft people, it is asserted outside of those already mentioned, lies in the fact that the President has precipitated this question, the State against Senator Foraker and Senator Dick without any justification, merely because he apparently wants Secretary Taft to succeed him in the White House. The situation is wartime in the extreme. Senator Foraker and Senator Dick and their friends are fighting for their political lives, and they lay claim that there is a reason why the State is being made upon them. The Taft people replying to this say that Foraker and Senator Dick have attempted to thwart the President's policies in Washington, the President's reason alone they deserve political death. Two Things It Will Do: From The Southwestern Christian Advocate It goes without saying that this is a most practical gift. There are parishes in the State of Louisiana where there is little or no public instruction offered to Negroes. In one parish there is only one school, we are told, which runs only for a brief period. This gift of Mist Loves socks to provide for just such cases. It is estimated that $10,000 will be the net yearly income from this gift. If schools are supplemented with an appropriation of $200 each, 200 schools will be thus reached and it is evident that the place where the children will break through the darkness. It will do two things: It will prolong the school terms and in affording better support for the teachers will provide more desirable teachers. The result of this effort will be a more educated and a more practical and intelligent to reach the unenciled Negro. What the Mover Needs. From The Portland New Acre of Philadelphia woman on the Mississippi Ama's tour, the thanks of all colorful people throughout the country. She has given $1,000,000 for the aid of rural elementary schools for Southern Negroes, which is much better than giving them a private school. More mary education is what the masses of Southern Negroes need. A. Notable Donation From: The Afro-American Prehistorian. This is a notable donation and it is hoped that the greatest good will come from it. MR. BOOSEVELT ON CITIZENSHP "We Are Guee People, with the Same Fundamental Characterization." The following ideas of citizenship were gathered from the addresses of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Mr. R. B. Garrison, and the readers of THE Ace will find them of peculiar interest at this time, as being highly instructive in the statement of the views of the President; The Average Man Trustworthy. Our Republic was founded upon the theory that the average man will as a rule do the right thing, that in the long run he will be able to do the right thing, and wholesome. If our fathers were mistaken in that theory, if ever the times become such—not occasionally, but persistently—that the mass of the people do not want to do the right thing, the Republic cannot stand, I can not how good its issue. I care not what murvulous mechanism its Constitution may embody. In this country of ours the availableness of the people is thought to the affairs of the State as a whole or those affairs will go backward; and he must devote that thought and that time steadily and intelligently. If there is a duty to the State, whether in a nation or in an individual; it is hysteric, either in religion or in anything else. The man or woman who makes up for ten days' indifference to the duty in of a moral representation in the world,—Boston, August 25, 1902. Qualities of Good Citizenship In the unending strife for civic bettement, small is the use of these people who mean well, but who mean well feebly. The man who counts is the man who is decent and who makes himself felt as a force for decency, for cleanliness, for civic rightness, for fairness, for moral qualities; first and foremost, of course, the must he honest, he must have the root of right thinking in him. That is not enough. In the next place he must have courage; the timid good man counts but little in the rough business of trying to be honest, and the addition to being honest and brave, he must have common sense. If he does not have it, no matter what other qualities he may have, he will find himself at the mercy of those who, without possessing his desire to do right, know only too well what he must do. He must be quest to Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, April 19, 1902. Work for Work's Sake. If you are worth your salt and want your children to be worth their salt, teach them that the life that is not a life of work and effort is worthless, a curse to the man or woman leading it, a curse to those around him or her. Teach the boys that if they are ever to count in the army, they will be from difficulties, but by warring with and overcrowding them.—Before Minnesota Legislature, April 4, 1903. Unity in Citizenship and of Duty. Utility in Citizenship and of Duty. After all, we are one people, with the same fundamental characteristics, whether we live in the city or in the country in the North, the South. Each of us, unless he is contented to be a numberer of the earth's surface, must strive to do his life-work with his whole heart. Each must remember that, while he will be noxious to every one, he first do his duty by himself, by his fellow. The problem of how to do these duties is acute everywhere. It is most acute in great cities, but it exists in the country, too. A man, to be a good citizen, must first be a good bread-winner, a good husband, a good teacher, a hope of a good children; as a woman's first duty is to be a good housewife and mother. The business duties, the home duties, the duties to one's family, come first. The couple who bring up plenty of healthy children, who leave up many sons so they can fit in, who must be good citizens, emphatically deserve well of the State. At Banger, Mr. August 27, 1902. Individual Force. It is a good thing to have a sound body, and a better thing to have a sound mind; and better still to have that aggregate group together under the name of character. I said both decent and virile qualities; it is not enough to have one or the other alone. If a man is strong in mind he becomes simply a foe to the body politic, to be hunted down by all decent men; and if, on the other hand, he has thoroughly decent impulses, but lacks strength, he is—Banquet to Dr. Butler, April 19, 1902. Law Not an Adequate Substitute for Character There never has been devised, and there never will be devised, any law which will be the basis of the laws of the case of those qualities which have always been the prerequisites of success—the qualities of hard work, of keen intelligence, of hard work, of Providence, of August 23, 1902. Every Man the Arbiter of the Country's Good But more than the law, for more than the administration of the law, depends upon the individual quality of the average person. It is necessary for your State, for the people in the State, must be what the chief factor in winning the success of a people has been from the beginning of time—the character of a woman. Opunha, Neb. april 27, 1903. No Public Virtue Where Private Virtue Fails No one can too strongly insist upon the elementary fact that you cannot build the superstructure of public virtue save on private virtue. The sum of the parts is the whole, and if we wish to make that whole, the State, the representative and exponent and symbol of decency, the deed, the public, public and private, of the average citizen—Union League, San Francisco, May 14, 1903. The People the Ultimate Authority. After all, here at home we ourselves always have in our own hands the remedy whereby to supply any deficient in integrity or capacity among those that govern us, Hartford, Conn., August 22, 1902. Contrast with Texas Sentiment. From The Seattle Republican. While White Anna T. Jane, a Phila- democrat, was a member of the de- lpthan millionaires, is giving a million dollars for the education of the Negro and thereby make more acceptable citi- zens of them from an Anglo-Saxon stand- point, a member of the Texas legislature moralschool of that state, normal school of that state on the grounds that "education destroys the use- fulness of the Negro," and, remarkable as it may seem, fifteen other members also burn the institution instead of ap- preciating money for its maintenance.

Japanese Chancellor Stuart Hage Honor at State of the University A Grand Lodge for the State of Japanese at the University March 27, 1907. The following clerks were elected and installed: G. O. R. B. Collier, TU 28. 18th street, Philadelphia; G. O. R. B. C. Manual Howard, Brooklyn; G. O. R. B. C. Manual Howard, Philadelphia; G. P. T. W. Milly, Philadelphia; G. M. & S. G. A.

Stanton, Pittsburgh; G. G. Atty, W. M. Green, Finsville; G. O. G. M. R. Sheppard, Pittsburg. Unbounded Phytian enthusiasts enjoy everywhere, and the indications are that Sergeant Lodge will more than double that at any former session. The most notable demonstration held on an anniversary day which has been reported to this office was at Mobile, Alh. Our people will accommodate the crowd of two thousand people in attendance it was necessary to hold an out-door meeting which was held in Eururia park. Grand Lecturer Arthur Krigs of Ohio was the erator of the occasion and gave a hundred dollars for charitable purposes. All Pythias们 will sympathise with W. W. Willis, Secretary of the Endowment, Board of the Grand Lodge of Texas and editor, Board of the Grand Lodge of Texas, whose home with its entire contents was destroyed by fire on April 12. The records of the Endowment department saved, as they were kept in an iron safe. Grand Chancellor E. G. Hildrington, of Indiana, who is possibly the youngest Grand Chancellor in the supreme juries, says he has made six new lodges, increases his membership in 2.25k since the Grand Lodge session and expects to reach the 2.500 mark before his Grand Lodge meets in July. This is the first colorful population in India of the limited Grand Chancellor John B. Snowden, of Kentucky, has issued a new booklet or prospectus of the order. It shows the kind of work of the organization in that State. All Kentucky residents are in a healthy condition. It also advertises the Supreme Lodge session andUniform Rank Encampment to hold in Louisville, and says Kentucky must have five thousand Knights by that time. The Grand Lodge of Indian Territory was met at Munkogee, I. T. Man, and at Calhoun for Oklahoma will be tutted which will embrace all the courts which were in Oklahoma and Indian Territories, as the two now constitute the Supreme Chancellor, Supreme Worthy Counselor S. W. Green, F. S. Supreme Counselor S. W. Green, F. S. Supreme Chancellor Starks will be in attendance. During the session of the Grand Lodge of Oklahoma, the convene at Tallahassee, May 21, the Unified Command of Biog. Gen. D. T. Taylor, will hold its annual State Encompment. General Taylor is a hustler for the departments in the past have ranged among the Grand Master of Exchequer John W. Straughter, of the Grand Lodge of Mississippi, has issued a statement showing the amount receipts for the January quarter is $200,000, thousand dollars. This breaks the record. The Supreme Worthy Counselor, Sir S. Green, has issued a proclamation stating the new rite for the Courts of Calhoun is in effect. It can be purchased in the usual way. The People's Recorder of Orangeburg S. O. of April 6, published an illus- tor by the lodges of Columbia, S. O. The account was an exhaustive one, and was very creditable to the order. The Grand youngest, in making marry- ress under the leadership of Grand cancellor T. H. Henry, of Columbia, with supporters an Sir Rosey and Allan Beecham, of Columbia, Scott of Florger, and Myers of Great We heard a discussput the other day in which it was said that a great many fraternal orders were being reduced to the order of the people's insurance companies, and the people whose insurance companies and the purpose of obtaining benefits when sick and burial expenses when they die. This is a sad comment if true. The Pythianism which was not intended to care for the sick and hurry to death is intended to help its members to live better and nobler lives, and to make better citizens of them. Pythianism has been defined as follows: Pythianism pure and unquestionably teaches a higher and a more noble place of self-sufficiency upon the pinnacle of its altar, commends self-sacrifice, denounces avarice and suspicion; it no man's motive or purposes; and its expression only controverses his view of life. In his opinion, those views are at variance with right and justice; requires a charitable view of his every act: frowns upon demeanor, character and reputation, especially his self-affirmation, and acknowledges him as a brave and courageous person who can and does act in accordance with its principles and by practical demonstration to exemplify their force by practical demonstration to exemplify their life. Such Pythianism is what we must require; what we must have, if we would see our order grow and advance and take that station in the family of fraternal orders to it as a rightful. Every word is meant by the Pythian ritual is meant for every day, practical use in our lives. Each lodge should see above all things that candidate is properly initiated and that candidate is properly taught and followed. The business and monies be conducted according to it. Each officer should know his duty and discharge it. Teams should be organised and that each candidate should have the ankles and each lodge should have the pinnacle of phernalia with which to carry out the ritual and initiate its candidates. Don't let your lodge be a "cheap insurance company." The lodges are best tended which give the best care to beautiful and uplifting teachings and ceremonies of the ritual. Try it.

JULIEN STEPHENS. JAMESTOWN. The Opening Was Premature—In July, Warb From The New York Snn. From The New York Sun. Practice. Practice. Practice. We extend to believe that the Jamestown Exposition will recover from the misfortunes which have overtaken it. Nor do any great numbers of well-meaning persons any longer waste time in discussing the causes of the destruction. They were hurled against the enterprise, to its destruction. Enough to know that even the most optimistic and light-hearted now fix the earliest date for a real "opening" at July, or, in round figures, sixty years. We must, in a sensitive maintain the proposition of a much later date, conceding all the financial and emotional accessories that may be indispensable meanwhile. Thus we must as an author maintain that, in the meantime, the exposition, assuming in its behalf every possible resource of money, enthusiasm and well-directed skill, cannot be put in complete order before the early weeks of July, and the definite conditions will materialize within the period mentioned, or at any other time. It is no part of our purpose to moralize on this unhappy condition. Every reader of *The Sun* must know that we have been in Jamestown Exposition. The enterprise was unique in unnay ways. For one thing, it had a visible and obvious ration decret. Then there were circumstances which intelligently exploited would have assured a memorable and victorious consummation. Finally, the location and the climate lent themselves to the original fusion. As Fitzhugh Lee was wont to put it: "Hundreds of thousands of people resort each summer to the seashore. Offer at Jamestown the same waterside bathing and other recreations and add to these attractions the captivating experience of a naval and military appeace unprecedented in history and most unnatural in future. Can you imagine but one result? General Lee's idea was to make visitors as comfortable as there are, all of whom would give them besides a pageentry at once novel and magnificent—something for one else had ever seen before, something done through succeeding generations. The Lee idea, however, seems to have died with its author, and so far as we now see it, the Lee's enfolded in its melancholy ceremonies. If this be not the last of Congressional-conducted private enterprises we are all familiar with, shall in the end be greatly disappointed. HANGED MAN REVIVED! Murderer Said to Have Come to Life After Being Promounced Dead. Fort Worth, Tex., May 6.—Reports received from them trimmen and Negro passengers on the Southern Pacific say he was killed at Columbus, Tex., Friday, April 19, for wife murder, revived after being placed in the coffin and when delivered to his mother for burial, was mutilated at the funeral. It is declared that Armstrong is now living and that friends and relatives are keeping the matter quiet fearing the death of his mother. Efforts have firm the story to-day were without avail, but the fact that the Negro's feet touched the ground when he was hanged lends credibility to the story. If Armstrong is living he is the only living man who has paid the death penalty. The fact that he was pronounced dead at the hanging renders the State powerless to again enforce the death penalty. NEW OPENINGS IN OMAHA. Made by Union Pacific Railroad Company. From The Omaha Enterprise. The Union Pacific has taken an advantage as our employees, Negroes as our dealers, levers, and such work as has hitherto been exclusively done by white men. Some fifteen or twenty have been put to work in this capacity in Omaha. This, so far as this part of the country is concerned, is the most important part of our people. We hope that every man employed in this capacity will take special pride in his work and do his best to give entire satisfaction. The race is on trial. When we're new openings are made for us in any department of honest work, we must not nothing unduly to prove ourselves worthy of the trust, because upon our faithfulness and skill depends to a large degree the enlargement or restriction of opportunities for earning a livelihood. We are glad that the Union Pacific Railroad has seen our race and we feel sure it will not regret the step. Welcome News to Many. From The Charleston Southern Reporter. The announcement made in another column of a gift of one million dollars to New York children common schools of the South will be welcome to many. The donor of this magnificent benefaction to the race is a Quaker lady of Philadelphia, who in her career desire to improve the condition of her community and course as the best method to accomplish her purpose. It is a well-known and sad fact that the common schools in the cities, towns and rural parts of the South are greatly in need of supplies. The children in these schools their terms and to accomplish larger results for the people. The Anna T. Jeanes gift should form the nucleus of a fund of several million dollars for the education of Negro children in the common schools of the South now being done by the whites. It is a very fitting and appropriate thing in connection with the gift that two prominent educators of the Negro race, men who live and work among the Negroes and who have been chosen as trustees of this fund. No better man than Prof. Rooker T. Washington and Prof. N. X. Brissell could have been selected for this trust. Truly the entire race has additional need to be treated with care and colored trustees of a big educational fund well as to be grateful to Ms. Janes. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY MAY 9, 1907.

Dix Industrial School Wednesday, April 24, was the largest and most enthusiastic of the school at 11.45 a.m. at the conclusion of a prayer by Rev. W. A. Ankara, after making a few remarks setting forth the importance of the meeting, called on Mr. B. T. Bills to make the welcome address to the Agricultural Department of the John A. Dix Industrial School, made his address and preface, he stated that the colored people are specially large consumers of pork, and that they are raising hogs. Out of every ten pounds of pork used in the South nine are raised for pork buy pork. This talk was followed by one from Mr. E. Klabon of the Hanipan Normal and Agricultural College, who explained how his attention were the raising of corn and hops. By economic farming he said that he wanted to for a load of anything he needed, should take a load with him; he should take a load both ways, with the closest attention, which was listened to with the greatest essential in an agriculture. By intelligence to every part of the work. For instance, a farmer should not only consider the asking, and also good farm journals and papers. Each farmer should ask him how to ask, and also good farm journals and papers. Each farmer should ask him how to try to find the best way to farm. Have I done my best to improve my stock, improve my farm, to improve my home. That a great deal of intelligence is required continually set for the farmer should first know for what purpose he is feeding his stock, and for this should determine how to feed him. A farmer is feeding a cow for milk, he should give her milk-producing food; for beef, fat-producing food, and so on. As to farm work, the farmer should first be familiar with the piece of land; and then how to inquire about it. In the case of the first essential is getting it into a farm, the dition as possible. At the outset, it should be known the quantity of water; after this the top crust should be kept loosened so the water can Again, Mr. Bishop made it plain that intelligence is to determine not only what kind of food the plants of that crop require. If the food is not in the soil, what kind of food the plants of that crop require. If the food is not in the soil, what kind of food the plants of that crop require. In the afternoon Dr. T. Jesse Jones, assistant chapelman of Hampton Institute, assisted the chapelman of Hampton Institute, Colored People. By means of charts he showed the progress they have made in education and in buying and selling. In the possession of farms he the people of Virginia lead, alxity out of every hundred owning their own farms, and that the people of Virginia are aging and enthusiastically applauded. He presented a chart which showed the death rate of the church people as compared with that the death rate of the people he said the death rate of infants is nity out of every thousand; among the former there is no percentage of every thousand. A large percentage of this high death rate is due, he thought, to causes that the colored people can remain healthy and not die. He impressed the fact that they are being studied; that the eyes of the people there are no leaves left. The farmer manifested the keenest interest in questioning the speakers, and at the same time gave their own experience in farming. Remarks were made by President J. H. Kennedy, Jr., and President J. H. Bush, Jr., of the industrial Institute, Ken James, Reisner of Petersburg, Mr. T. C. Chambliss of Goodrich, Mr. T. C. H. H. H. Heartwell of McKenney, Mr. D. C. Valentine of Dlnwidde, and others were elected for the ensuing year; J. M. Colson, president; B. T. Ellik, vice president; R. Warren, secretary; and Stephen Bollard, treasurer. MAJ. TAYLOR REBUFFED IN PARIS. American Touristia Introduce Color Prejudice in French Capital. From The Worcester (Mass.) Telegraph. The color line was drawn on Major Taylor in the room, quoted by the management of the hotel where he stepped, to leave the hotel which he did. Major Taylor and his wife left Worcester to take part in the Taylor will take part in bicycle races as a settlement of the suit brought against him for alleged violation of a riding contract entered into two years ago with Louis Coppelie and Victor Breyer of Paris. The same men are conducting the races in which Taylor is booked to compete, his agreement race this spring will be announced. Taylor and his wife registered at a Paris hotel, as Taylor has done in former visits to France for racing purposes. In other years Taylor's color only made him the more popular in Paris, bicycle papers referring to him as the "course racer" reflecting the interest his presence around. Last week, however, American tourists staying at the same hotel in which the Taylors were registered, demanded that the management order Taylor out, and threatened to leave if their demand not complied with. The management requested Taylor to leave, which he did. In an interview, Taylor said, "This treatment is in strange contrast with the welcome which the French have always given us before. To avoid a recurrence with such unpleasant incidents, I have decided to take a hour of my own at Neilly." FOR CRUELTY IN AFRICA. German Officer Dismissed After Trial in From the New York Sun: "Brent T. Smith of Toowand, German Southwest Africa, filed charges against himself in January, 1904, for ordering punishment upon a Negro Negro during the previous year which had caused the man's death. On the day in his dismissal from his pox and the loss of one-third of his pension, the testimony was that the Negro had stolen 500 marks. For this he had been brutally flogged and sentenced to twenty-four hours in the sun without food or drink, from which treatment he died. From The *Washington Post*. Judicial review. Justice Bennie has just rendered a decision concerning lynching that will, if affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States, go far toward solving one of the problems this country has ever had to face. Judge Jones holds that a person who forcibly takes from the custody of any official, State or otherwise, a prisoner accused of crime, and after such taking, the prisoner is lynch the sold prisoner is guilty of violence to the provisions of the Constitution of the United States, and that it is the duty of the officers of the United States to take cognizance of the same and assume jurisdiction to punish the offender of course, upon the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments to the Constitution. The attorneys for the defendant, one Powell, have appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States, where this case was heard, to request that or rendered null and of no effect. It is to be hoped the finding will be affirmed. It would at once put the matter of lynching upon an entirely different footing than it did in the case of those who have lived in sections where lynching is common know that the better element of society in all such sections depreciates the crime and deplores the local environment being considered, it is extremely difficult to secure convictions because of the almost impossible task of securing 'evidence against the lynchers, the courts it would be quite a different matter. There is no principle of "State rights" in this case which ought to weigh with any right-thinking person, so far as concerns the consideration of the ultimate right to the principle laid down. The lyncher—who nine times out of ten, is an arrant coward at heart—will desist from his crime just as soon as he finds that his own worthless neck is endangered. The lynchers seek the rights and powers to change the place of trink, especially in jurisdictions covering sparsely settled sections, from the immediate county of the crime to some point perhaps a hundred miles away, would put his face to face with a condition of affairs that would give him considerable pause. The decision seems founded on good luck. It will help will help wonderfully if it be sustained. DR. WASHINGTON SPEAKS AT CARNEGIE HALL The Twenty-ninth Anniversary of Mt. Oliver Baptist Church. Carcinic Hall, Seventh avenue and 57th street, Manhattan, was crowded to its utmost capacity last Sunday night, celebrated its twenty-ninth anniversary. Once a year the great hall is secured so that a meeting of all the 3,000 members of the church may be held, the church no longer may to hold any large proportion of them.

Washington of Tunkeguee Institute, Albany, was invited to deliver the principal address, which included an invitation secured the presence of the largest audience the church has had at any of its anniversary celebrations. The crowd on the huge stage mounted with the audience was so large that it thousand, together, with the immense crowds in the parquet, in the two galleries, and in all of the two tiers of houses, emphasized the strong hold the speakers had on the audience. The people of Greater New York and vicinity. The reception recorded Dr. Washington was a nervously cordial one; from the time he came to the speaker's room, he was receiving the plaudits of the people. When he had finished an eager listener leaped to his feet, and proposed to thank the speaker. The motion came to their feet and gave him the Chanutunqin, salute. It was a pretty sight and but seldom seen in this great city. The audience was of interest in all that concerns his people now for him, as his appearance everywhere does, the sincere approval and interest of all who listened to him. Dr. Gilbert, the pastor of Mt. Olivet, deserves congruations on the success of his great meeting.

From The Nashville Globe. The University of Tennessee, of Philadelphia, of $1,000,000, for the establishment of a trust fund the interest of which is to be used for the betterment of the school facilities for Negroes in the rural districts of the South, destined to do great good for the school in great need of help. It should be welcomed by all citizens of the South, no matter what their color, because in bettering the schools for our race the whole community will profit thereby. The trustees, Dr. Tuskegee and Dr. Frissell of Hampton, are practical educators, well informed as to the needs of rural schools and their selection to administer the trust guarantees that it will be applied to. When the trustees it was given. The interest from the fund, which will amount to about $40,000 a year, is a mere drop in the bucket when it is taken into consideration that the fund is given for the whole help and doubtless others, following the lead of this pious woman, will add to the sum. Another Door Opened. From The Colored Alabamian. The great State of Alabama that has been made rich by the labor of our mothers and our brothers and sisters, supported by the labor of the kindest race on earth, has just closed a session of its legislature that was made famous by its failure to do its plaint and bounded duty toward our education. But thanks to a kind Providence that is visible and made to stand ajar, the Negroes of the South are making a heroic effort, against great odds to educate themselves, and it is not strange that there are those who are willing to come to their rescue. The catalogue of official blanks and books is the Supreme Lodge has not a favorable reception everywhere. Blanks and books of an official and uniform nature for conducting our business were badly needed. By the method adopted it is easier for the Supreme, Grand and Subordinate lodges, conduct their business more intelligently and at the same time receive more official blanks and books.

Makes hair grow long, straight soft, and silky; cures dandruff and stops falling hair. Kink-ine acts like magic on the hair. Kink-ine Is No Experiment. It was discovered by R. Roberts, 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. This chemist says that his experience and study have taught him that the scalp of the colored people requires a special treatment and after laboring and testing, 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 of Chicago 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." SPECIAL OFFER—To prove the quality and superiority of our goods over all others, we will sell one full-size bottle of Kink-ine, price 25 cents, one cake of Kink-ine Soap, the best shampoo and Tullet Soap in the world, price 25 cents, both for only 50 cents, or six bottles and six cakes of soap for $3.00.

I shall conclude this series of articles on the Negro with a discussion of the so-called "Negro Problem," not with reference to the Negroes of Philadelphia alone, but with respect to the race as a whole, attempting to answer the questions: In what consists the particular and peculiar Negro race problem of which we hear so much? A social problem may be said to exist with reference to any particular group when there is in any way maladjustment between the group and its environment. The Negro problem is a social problem of maladjustment between the Negro group and its American environment. It is a Negro problem in so far as it is common to the great masses of the Negro group and its it. Otherwise it is a Negro problem. Much confusion already prevails as to just what this maladjustment is, and, to avoid further confusion, careful analysis must be made. We have come in contact identified in some way the Negro problem with the problem of ignorance and vice, or with poverty or immorality in the country, or in employment or some other pathological social conditions. But the Negro problem is not a problem of illiteracy or ignorance. In the first place, illiteracy is not common in the country, but major them can read and write. In the second place, illiteracy is not peculiar to them as a race, for there are more white illiterates in the country than blacks. In 1900 we gave 3,200,093 as the number of white illiterates and 2,853,194 as the number of Negro illiterates in the country, and our number of white illiterates the State of Pennsylvania as Negro illiterates; while it also showed that in proportion to population the younger generation of Negro living in the country is the class of whites living in the South. It is plain, therefore, that ignorance and illiteracy are not the Negro problem, although many Negroes, as well as whites, have come in contact in the general problem of ignorance. Nor is the Negro problem to be identified with the poverty problem, for all the Negroes are not poor, nor are they large groups in the city, but rather behind it in the census, the special report on "Paupers in Almshouse" shows that there were on December 31, 1890, 81,704 paupers in the almshouses, 16,903 in the city, 6,910 included, including Chinese and Indians. Indeed, of the foreign whites the proportion was more than four times as great as that of the Negroes, according to the report. It is a condition of a gradually decreasing group of Negroes, but is not the group's peculiar problem. Nor is that problem chronic, in our own city the Negro section of the whole group of Negroes, and by the best figures available there are probably fifteen whites in the criminal clan to one Negro. Nor is general depravity, the Negro's peculiar problem. I do not mean to say that these pathological conditions are not real among the Negro race, as among the whites, but I do mean to impress that it is confusion thinking which identifies the Negro problem with the above problems, and that such confusion leads to serious error and an indefinite postponement of any solution. By way of illustration, let us suppose that when we should awake to-morrow morning, we should find that all possible means of identifying the Negro problem will tell them from other men; but that they still remained the same in character and ability. It is clear that we should have no more Negro problem, but it is not clear that we should not have just as the day before various problems of crime, poverty, etc. be convinced that we must leam, which still exist, are not the Negro problem. What, then, is the Negro problem? What maladjustment is at the same time common to the Negro group as a whole, and peculiar to it an over against the Negro group, and peculiar to the tude of the American public mind to the Negro race; an attitude which insists upon separating the Negro group from the general group. It is this attitude which continually seeks and exaggerates marynary 'trace differences', and is annoying allowing the Negro to find his own level or place as other men do. It makes race rather than character and efficiency, or lack of these, the reason for difference, if it is seen in a thousand things. It is the case of the Key, Thomas Dixon's or Senator Tillman's agitations, or it is quiet and polite, as in the case of a Northern employer who refuses the Negro applicant for promotion, or for a position on the ground of his color, rather than fitness. It is unsuspectingly reflected by many good housewives, who say, 'I don't want a Negro girl to work for me, for I had one and she was unsatisfactory, reasoning with white girls she would be forced to do all her work herself. Or it is seen in the laborers who will not work with a competent Negro workman, or the clerks who threaten to strike if a woman is not working, or the gradual segregation in the public schools has caused it in the Christian church. This attitude causes general weakness and waste. First, in the Negro it causes general demoralization, and thus compels them to work harder, to work harder, etc., which some mistake for the Negro problem. It encourages in Negros low ideals, in that it separates them from the community, and says to them in so words that the best is not for them. But it has a bad effect upon the community, for it lives the manufacturer and the business in general of a very white city. It also has a cause of labor against Negroes of a powerful alliance with the aid of less plovers in C1 the stockyard the teamsters are 000 white breakers by self-protection has not been and when a machine be occurred. It has made the democracy of which we dreamed only a dream. It has caused white men of the South fearing an impossible hallucination of "Negro domination" to vote solidly, irrespective of conditions on the ground, and in the chief generators for the building up of a system of castes in a proposed democracy. Such is the Negro problem; such some of its far-reaching results. Can it be solved? How? It can be solved. 'Sat on the floor of the Negro house, merely working on Negroes.' Education of the Negroes does not solve it; nor does anamning of property by them; or becoming self-respecting and law-abiding. The Negroes have a break of race feeling we have had in years occurred in the city of Atlanta, which has more Negro colleges than any other city in the country. Every home was owned, and which had been publicly praised by the Mayor for being so law-abiding as to need no policemen. Every home was handled by white included graduates from Yale University. Boston University, a president of a college and others, all well-to-do, and some, according to Bouthene, were not so well-educated by a committee of white citizens of the city, "not one of the Negroes killed and wounded in the riot was of the criminal class. Every one who indulged in the riot might give hundreds, indeed thousands of facts, to show that the problem is intensified with wealth, industry and culture, less the culture, or the more the degradation, the less is the problem realised. The problem can only be solved by a change of attitude of the public mind from that of indifference, opposition or hostility to that of the Negroes but one of fairness and justice and consideration. First, the ministers ought to be leaders in the movement, for they are theoretically committed to it by the teachings of their Christ. Second, the ideal of democracy ought to practice and teach the throwing off of this undemocratic distinction. The business man can give the black man a fair chance, without special favor, and insist upon his right to vote. Third, the first object. The labor leaders can slowly educate the laboring classes that the interests of all laborers are one. The politician can help the country greatly by striving to eliminate the race issue. Fourth, it is important that it is to be a slow change in the mental attitude of the whole white race. It is not a hopeless task, as developments in this country since the war have shown. Forty years ago, for example, the first minister of the postoffice was "a white man's gab"; but one by one Negroes have entered these places, and though there was protest at first, carefully any one was able to resist. The First Minister, pany, has given a valuable lesson in what quiet insistence will do, in that it has insisted upon letting Negroes come into the plant, and now no one objects. Though the plant is the same, with a like experience, thus helping to solve the problem. Indeed, it seems that the business men have out-stripped those to whom we naturally look ministers of the gospel—in this respect. "Then there is general ignorance of the Negro race. Most people think they know the Negro, and are unwilling to learn, hence they make adjustment more difficult. I was in Atlanta concerning the riot, Mr. Hopkins, one of Atlanta's leading lawyers and a Southerner by birth, is reported to have said, ' believe those Negroes in the situation, that I did. I was astonished at their intelligence and diplomacy. ' * * * I didn't know that there were such Negroes in Atlanta." Such a statement show that Negroes in the situation were the solution of this vexed problem, and, like him, leaders of thought and public-spirited men ought to seek to inform themselves concerning the real condition, and, like them, cooperate with the best Negroes and nation's work for the truer and purer democracy. This, of course, demands a deal of moral courage; often a bit of sacrifice for principle, which is being worked out in the process. But strengthens, the white race even more. To reinticipate, then: The Negro problem is the problem of mental attitude of whites toward the Negro, preventing the assimilation of Negro into the White community. It robs the country of much economic benefit, making progress slower, and even retarding business development (as when the bank clearings of Atlanta fell them down, and the labor cause of one of its most leadable and reachable allies. This attitude demoralizes Negroes, crushes ambition, but aids crime and immorality and the problem can be solved only by changing the attitude of the whites, who dominate toward the Negroes. This solution of the Negro problem will be the greatest achievement of American democracy and will be the greatest achievement of cooperation with the best of the Negroes, differentiation as to character and efficiency rather than color, and constant insistence upon human rights to progress, and of the emphasis of progress on the over blacks, are some of the factors and forces which will bring about the change, and all men of intelligence and patriotism ought to lead in bringing it about. The Race Should Begin to Size Up Its Political Condition. To the Editor of The New York Aer. I write to endorse the position taken in an editorial in TUE AER of April 11, 2014, "The Negro voters." Your position may not be approved by the mass of Negro voters, who have a chance left them to vote; but until the Negro stops and takes his political bearings he need not expect many favors. President Roosevelt has allowed himself to be bossed by an element of his party that cared but little for the Negro no one can deny. His harsh action in the now famous Brownsville episode stands out as an incontrovertible truth. The Negro's political salvation depends in a large measure upon his political manhood. Russian inscription and class legislation, in both church and state, should and will be given cool encouragement by all who have written to the editor of TUE AER should read the editorial referred to, and weigh the issue carefully. It has the right ring, and will strike a popular chord in the hearts of all who are the tricking politician, the supposing monkey he sees. Respectfully, E. M. Auneyer, Maryville, Tenn. April 23. The question of equal salaries for male and female teachers has been under discussion for some time in New York, and legislation may be got to effect it, as servants of the state, such as Albany, Inequality in pay of men and women is enforced in every department of employment, but the justice of it is not apparent, where capacity, responsibility and service are equal. Washington to hitch the white referee nuisance and injustice on the Republican politics of the Southern States should not succeed. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1907 PHILADELPHIA. May 6.—The Afro-American Reality Company, of Philadelphia, held its first public meeting in Wesley A. M. E. Zion church, last week, evening with an inclement, but a cooled snowy weather, the officers, the Rev. Dr. Morrissey, pastor of Wesley church, the Rev. Dr. Talliaferro, pastor of Holy Trinity Baptist church; counselor G. W. Mitchell and Bishop W. C. Wallace; the audience seemed much pleased with the same address delivered by men of experience and affairs. Dr. J. S. Leannon, the President, acted as chairman of the meeting. He gave a brief account of the Company's methods deferred to the Company had reasons to congratulate itself upon the measure of success attained and proceeded to introduce the speaker. Mr. G. W. Henley, the appraiser, made an interesting talk and the Company had reasons to congratulate company was given birth. The secretary, Prof. H. T. Kealing, read his annual report which showed that the Company's receipts for the year ending April 10, 2007, were $800,000. His report showed that the Company real estate, clear, easily valued at $10,000, and that plans were being laid to begin operations on its property in Anacostia, Washington, D. C., containing seventy jobs more. The course to be built was the "court" to attain fine quality, so as to attract the best people of Washington and of the country." One gentleman of means in Pine Bluff, Ark., has written to have three lots reserved for the Company in the city of Washington and others in Philadelphia have spoken for houses. The Treasurer, Dr. G. L. Blackwell, said: "The funds of the Company are now being carried out to carry out the order of the Directors, not in declaring dividends, but to pay the Company's shares in mining the Company's shares were still selling at par. $5 each, he proceeded to hand out the checks for the six per cent. dividend by the Directors at a previous meeting." During the meeting Bishop Caldwell Dr. Taliaferro and Dr. Morrisey each remarked that they were glad to live long and prosperous lives. The Bishop said that he was a "joiner"; that he had joined every company around that seemed to have a promise of success and that he had been looking for a dividend for these many years. The Afro-American Realty Company of Philadelphia was the first Company, of which he was a member to ever declare and pay him a dividend. The money he had invested, "I believe he had the Afro-American Realty Company of Philadelphia is all right because it has so handled the people's money as to redeem its promises. While the other companies have done well, I highly recommend the Afro-American Realty Company and its management as being worthy of the people's confidence, and one in which the people's will be safeguarded and profitably invested. Since the meeting there has been great activity in the sale of stock and the outlook for a much increased business for the Afro-American Realty Company will permit all who want a first-class investment to buy now before the stock rises. SENATOR TILLMAN GITS DOSE OF SILENT CONTEMPT High Praise for the Afro-Americana of the Flower City. From The Rochester (NY) Daily Democrat and Chronicle The recent attack in this city upon the Negroes in race by Senator Tillman of South Carolina might naturally have provoked indignant and passionate retaliation in kind by the colored people of Rochester. They have with rare exceptions, intelligent respectable and law-abiding. Some of them are educated men and women, having enjoyed the benefits of our schools. They have a church of their own here with a pastor who respects him and is respected by those who know him. Handicapped by the disabilities of the past and the popular prejudices of the present, the colored people of Rochester are the most generally worthy of much better treatment than they receive from the ignorant and bigoted members of the white race, and if they enjoyed the square deal in matters of employment and industrial showing, they would make a still better It was against such people as these here and elsewhere, that Senator Tillman hurled his volleys of contempt, scorn, antipathy and vilification. His attack was mean and evil and similar to the other lives being living siderable numbers in this country would have been angely resented. But with rare dignity and reserve the colored people of Rochester have refused to pay the slightest attention to Tillman's ravings against them and their race. They have been the most violent of the contempt of absolute silence. Not a line we believe, in the nature of a reply from any of them has appeared in the public press. No public attention was paid by them to his coming or his going. His self-respecting attitude of the colored people has been every prosecution to violent retort, is greatly to their credit and has not passed unnoticed by many of their fellow-citizens. There are sometimes insults so unspeakably vile that silence only can do justice to them. Tillman's Sunday Lycum address was an outrage of that kind. Another Harbinger of Good Will. (Phishing) From The American Hopkins In America, the legislation against the race and the apparent growth of prejudice along certain lines is indeed encouraging to know that the race will has earnest and faithful friendships among the more attentive and favored people, and helping hand in our struggles to soure the things that tend to uplift the people and make them more honorable and anticitizen citizens. The establishment of an educational institution is the negroation of the Negroes in the South is another harbinger of good will and kindly interest, which will no doubt give a new impetus to a educational effort in that society. The educational institution will militate with conditions in the South and besides this, both are deeply interested in the question of public education and will administer the trust both to the satisfactory students and to those whose interest the fund is created. This gift will in time supplement the public school work in such a way as to make it decidedly more effective for good for all races. The condition of the weaker class will always help the other. From The Indianapolis Pressman. Editor. T. Thomas Fortune, of Tenn. and AoM is injecting some trigger into his campaign for the three days. He is disgusted with the Republican party, as at present constituted, and cannot stomach the Democratic aggregation of Negro-haters and law-breakers. A forthright age, fondling his "mickey- head" campaign, has done credit to the Mikado's "Lord High Executive." Mr. Fortune said: "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 as the platform for the new administration, as the Roosevelt administration could accomplish it, the Afro-American has been set aside entirely as a party factor. Such organizations as he has had in the Southern States has been taken away from him and placed in the hand of milk-and-water companies. This has led to a combination of political indescribables and rags abhorrent to Afro-Americans—and if these misfits are allowed to control the Southern 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 the party to take control of the Western States to decide what they want and to vote accordingly." This is little short of "reading the riot act" and the manager, though apparently ignoring the age of other organs of the dissatisfied type, are nevertheless beaten up and killed in the fall primaries in Ohio are coming off, where a test of administration strength is to be pulled off, and within the fewest of months will come the struggle for administration delegates Evers State in the Union, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan and Kanaas will have a great deal to say on the subject. The sensible colored voters tendring to their business and standing on their dignity. There are fewer colored men depending upon politics for a living now than at any time since emancipation, and it takes something more than glittering promises to sway them within the race; building more their children to school, teaching them useful trades and fitting them for the professions, and it takes something more than glittering promises to sway them more than they want office, and unless there is a strong sign of a return to the principles of the founders of the Republican party that party may have to fight its battle without its heretofore established position in the office and West. There is no indication that they will go to the Democracy in large numbers; they will simply get out of the political game and hustle for their "pork chops" in the arena of business and their time for an upheaval, out of which better condition may grow. The colored man is saying little but sawing a tremendous amount of wood—and experience has given him the thick man has nothing to say, that is the time when he is most dangerous. The veteran journalist, Chris J. Perry throws himself manfully into the breach and while admitting that much in the indictment brought forward by Mr. Fortune is true so far as the evidence is concerned, pleads for a continued support of the organization, as offering at least better results to the people than the Democrats, suggesting that if the trouble is simply with the managers and their methods, it is not the work to bring about a leadership and a system of administration more in keeping with the grand old party principles which Phillips, Garrison, Summer, Morton and Severn hold to represent the state of affairs, and he steering the well-sonored Philadelphia Tribune away from the shoals of possible mugwummy, which are apt to destroy what is, without replacing it with an "is-to-be" that spell improvement. He clings to the Republican party, not so much for what he seeks to avoid, as for that which he seeks to avoid. Mr. Fortune's latest rejoice is unique and interesting, whether one is willing to follow, his aim of reasoning in practice, his aim of mimicking in practice. Nothing short of a new party will do. "There never was anything more self-evident in the politics of the Republic," he wrote. "The people who are needed to take the places of those now in existence." After briefly reviewing the radical departure of both parties from their original positions, Mr. Fortune outlured their alleged incompetence to deal with the problems of today equitably and effectively. Mr. Fortune fires this bomb into the atmosphere to strike a blow. "We believe we voice the majority sentiment of the Afro-American Republicans when we declare that they are heartily opposed to the policy toward then since 1976, and were never more so or had better cause than they are to-day. Give them a party with a plank declaring for equality under the law for all citizens and they will support it. If other interests would make a party that would cover the dissatisfied elements in all existing parties, and there are now more elements dissatisfied to make a new party, the Democratic party would form to curb the insolence and aggressions of the Democratic slave-holders' party. Let the dissatisfied of all existing parties get together and organize such a party that would be the country need." Will they do it? National Baptist Sunday School Congress Meeting in New Orleans. NASHVILLE, Teen, May 6. It is announced by the promoters that ewing to special session of the Louisiana Baptist State Convention on the 25-26, 1997, the sessions of the National Baptist Sunday School Congress and Young People's Chaunduquan which has been called to meet in New Orleans on June 27, 1997, opening sessions proper at the First African Baptist church on 3d street, between Franklin and Liberty streets, New Orleans, on the morning of June 27, 1997, up to and including Monday, July 1. This extension was necessitated in order that all of the brothers of the Sr. Convention might be present at the opening, as it was their request. The 21st will be held on April 15, and would be per call, but the 21st will be taken up in the assignments of homes and other preliminaries necessary on such occasion. In accepting the invitation of the Baptist City Pastors' Conference of New Orleans, the 21st was alone for the benefits of the domination growth in New Orleans. The secretary of this Conference, Rev. A. Hulke, the president, Rev. A. Sins; the instructor, Rev. C. Tharp, together with the treasurer, Torme have been appointed to the management of the Conference, so that all will be in readiness and that no messenger or delegate will have the slightest cause to complain. This assurance has also been given by the officers that all Sunday school workers begin their preparations to take charge of the Crescent City.

Held in Paterno. JERSEY CITY, May G. The annual conference of the great A. M. E. Zion church convened at Paterson, N. J. the 24th of April. Bishop Alexander Walters presided. Many of the older members of the church have since the first conceived in old Bank 33 years ago, vote this the greatest gathering in the history of the New Jersey Conference; while The Potterson Church Conference, in this city, came to an end yesterday, there has been been many strangers of the Colored race, and there has been a very unusual expression of appreciation for the good apportionment of the colored people as a whole, they have been representatives of the very best character and the highest order of intelligence among the colored people. Some of the men were ordinary degree of intellectibility, even when compared with white people. There were benevolent looking faces, well-dressed and respectable men and women, which were so noticeable as to create very general expressions of commendation. Never before was there such a potable gathering of colored people in the conference, say some of the sisters and speeches were of a high order. Amuse the many organizations in Jersey City, spiritual or temporal, contribute more to the moral upbringing and enrichment of the community than the church.
