And Professor Cook Made Members—Important Figures in Race's Life. WARINGTON, May 7—Acting upon a report submitted to him by James Brennolds, the man who helped to paint up the famous packing house cases, President Josephoveh has appointed a Commission investigate housing conditions in the District of Columbia. There are so many alley in Washington in which the poor are crowded, and husband together under most frightful and oppressive conditions on the part of the President is one of the most important acts of his administration, as it affects the Nation's capital. The new commission is called the President's Commission, and the most important acts of able and influential men in the personnel is as follows: General George M. Sterburg, Dr. George M. William H. Baldwin, Frederick Cock, William M. McBrayley, Mose Bogniman, James Bronnard, W. Woodward, John B. T. S. Parsons, Emmet L. Brennan, and William L. Brennan, representing the best in the social business and intellectual life of Washington. On the commission there are two colored mott: Krof. George William Cook and Mr. Whitley. Howard University for a quarter of a century and is well known as an educator. He has been a member of the Board of Children's Guardians of the District for several years and rendered the community excellent service as an official. Mr. Whitefield McKinley is a new man in office. For more than twenty years he has been actively engaged in Colonial and home-made for himself and the colored people a most enviable reputation in his line of work. Indeed, he has done more to blaze the way for colored men in business in Washington than any other man in our community. He has been a man who control the business activities of Washington since the first embarked upon a commercial career. His life upon the "direct" is almost romantic. In 1851 he employed in the Government Department of Colonies when the force in this great work was reduced. Mr. McKinley loved himself, like Othello, without an occupation. He at once entered upon his career as a banker and real estate agent, in which he has been eminently successful. While this recent appointment as Commissioner is the first office of any particular distinction which Mr. McKinlay has held, he has always been a very active factor in all matters booked by the Commission. He is a member of the forests of the Afro-American people. He is courageous and fearless in his advocacy of what he believes to be the right method in dealing with the many complicated situations involved in the so-called war in the Middle East. He voted himself more unsuspectily to the interests of others of his race than Mr. McKinlay. When the case of Dr. Crum, now collector of Port at Charleston, was before the country and the Senate, it was his mission that he should not support a case that should finally triumph. No one but those closest to him can appreciate all that he did in this famous case by way of effective work. For him personally there was no reward in a material war of conflict. He was not a victim of conflict. What was sufficient resentment for him. What did in the Crum case he has done in many other cases of less notoriety. Energy and time have not coopted with him when the service for him was in his blood. Mr. McKinlay has been closely associated with all of the leading colored men in public life since the days of Reconstruction. He has taken a very deep interest in the great work of Booker T. Washington, with this distinguished man in his efforts to better the condition of the Negro race in America. ROBERT H. TERRILL DONCRATS CARRY BALTIMORE.

An Afro-American Woman's Opinion of the Country. 'NAN JUAN, Porto Rico, April 21.—The first tangible view that one gets of Porto Rico as he approaches the island from the north, is the city of San Juan, which rises out of the sea like a long line of great white rock piled high at each corner of the island, seeming wall arrangements itself as if by magic into huge stone edifices, over which Morro Castle, at the north end of the island, stands as sentinels. As the ship enters the harbor, this quiet old city is plainly seen surrounded by walls that have protected it for more than two centuries and the hungry waves of the Atlantic. The streets are well kept, but narrow. They are broken in several places by the presence of plazas. The Plaza of Colon lies at the foot of San Cristobal de la Vera, by which it is bound by an arch of Christopher Columbus. Another plaza is in front of the church of San Jose and contains a statue of Ponce de León. The principal plaza lies in the centre of the city. It is unadorned but much more decorated than the rest of the city, as band concerts are held there almost every evening. The appearance of the city as a whole is pleasing, but it can hardly be said that the churches contribute much to the beauty of the city. The structures that seem to have been built for forts rather than plazas of worship. The walls are thick and are made unlively by wooden shutters at the windows; the doors are large and are decorated with knots of wood studded with nails. The homes do not outvival the churches in attractiveness. Those of the wealthy are found on the second floor of the many business houses, while those of the poor classes consist of small, unventilated apartments consist of small, unventilated apartments, back of stores, restaurants and other places of business. The only relief to the external paininess of even the best homes is the indispensable balcony, which runs the entire length of the second floor. The homes are built around inner courts, beautiful to tropical plants and fountains. Leading out from San Juan is the military road, said to be the finest road of the West Indies. It is as solid as if leaved from stone and is bordered on each side by an almost unbroken succession of sandy beaches, so the seeming a well-kept avenue. As one passes along this road his attention is not only called to the magnificence of the tropical vegetation, but taking a backward glance from time to time he sees San Juan far below him; let him continue even to Altobanco, a town that crowns the western coast of the island, and again glance back and he will still see white walls and edifices of San Juan. Instead of taking the military road bet one sail norsest the bay from San Juan to Otano and there take a coach to Buena Vista. The road winds in and out of the bay, and that it can never be seen at a great distance ahead. Here it runs by a larger vine-ceded mountain wall, then, with a curve, it winds into the heart of a scene where the sun is shining brightly, boys lie far below superbly adorned by graceful molding palms and traversed by sinuous silvery water courses. But primarily the top of the mountain is reached by a narrow road, with the broad Atlantic forming a most appropriate background and enluminating the picture as its waves dash high against the white walls. The landing scene may be witnessed from almost any part of the eastern half of the island, and as the beginning of the canyon at Merro Castle announces for miles around the twelfth hour, one almost instinctively turns his face to this the Mason of Frontera Fort Tamaros.

AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION NEW YORK, THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1907 The Work of the Organization and Necessity of Agitation and Protest. To the members of the National Afro-American Council, delegates from local councils and affiliated organizations, such as churches, colleges, benevolent societies, newspapers and other race organizations. Greeting: The tenth annual session of the National Afro-American Council will be held at Baltimore, Md., June 26, 27 and 28, 1907. The uneasing energy of those bent upon the creation of a public sentiment against the Afro-American race advocates by Sonntor Tillman, Governor Vardman, John Temple Graves and others of the republic of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Federal Constitution, thus reducing the Afro-American race to the dismissal of the colored soldiers of those who essay to befriend us, even to President Rossetti, who has said so much about "fair play" and the "shoe of hope," that he has been the dignissim of the colored soldiers of the Twentieth Infantry without an adequate trium; the bold and defiant assent of those satisfied with nothing short of our absolute justice in the meeting of the leaders of the race in an advisory way. The situation is grave and demands the exercise of wisdom, prudence, patience and intelligent effort to overcome the dangers opposing what political and civil rights Begalting the necessity of limited action of all our forces we invite the representatives of all similar organizations to be present at our meeting. In this crisis we should be civilized, jalebiasis, bickering and strife, and meet and confer together up vital questions which concern us all. At all hazard, let all the factions get together and unite a unified attack upon the enemy. We should embolden the efforts of the press in creating a favorable sentiment against lynching and the laminating "Jim Crow" car laws. It has brought encouragement and home to many of the leaders of our race to participate in the national council that is pledging to resist still battling, and will ever battle against all forms of injustice and discriminations. It is the greatest desire of the officers of the National council that the National council be represented every college, household society, newspaper, indeed all race organizations, should send at least one representative to the Baltimore meeting. We believe that it will be the largest and the best in every way that we ever had in the Rays or Mississippi. Article III. of the Constitution Section I.

These teams are nicknamed men from every corner of the country, and they are immensely popular. From The Trebon True American, Collegiate industrial school colored youth at Hordentown yesterday, where they spent some time in going over the institution with Dr. Booster T. Washburn, the superintendent of the Board of Education tentatively decided upon improvements to "Old Iroquois," which will make it one of the finest and best equipped institutions for the education of young north of the Mason and Dixon line. These improvements are made possible because of an increased appropriation of upward of $40,000 under act passed by the legislature which includes an increase in the amount to $5,000 to $12,000; an appropriation of $30,000 for the erection of a dormitory and laundry; and an appropriation of $7,000 in the supplemental bill to be funding the school lands and the installation of city gas and water at the institution. The eminent success that Dr. Washington has attained in the work of training the colored youth and in uplifting his race suggested to the State education department to go over the ground with them and point out the number in which these moneys might best be expended. His visit to the institution as the guest of the State Board was the result. Members of the Board were the praises of Dr. Washington's ability and commitment as an educator, and although he was unable, because of a previous engagement, to spend but two hours in their company, in that time it was generally agreed that he had given them many valuable suggestions and will in all probability, be carried on. Dr. Washington arrives in, Bodentown from New York at 11:30 A.M., and was met at the station by Proctor James M. Gregory, principal of the school. Upon his arrival at the institution on Dr. Washington was joined by the S.A.E. Board. In the party were: President James L. Hays of Newark; J. Brigham Woodward of Borlentown; W. D. Forbes of Hoboken; Edward Russ of Hoboken; T. O'Connor Slown of South Orange; Judge Francis Scott of Paterson; Edward G. Robertson of N.W.K.; George A. Frey of Camden; Percival Christie of High Bridge; W. E. Florence of New Brunswick; Colonel Sweeting Miles of Alpine; Dr. Ulanor Allen of Jersey City; William R. Barrick of Jersey City, and S. R. Morse of Atlantic City, all members of the State Board, and George Poole, State Architect; J. Brignard Bets and T. R. Sensor of the State Department of Public Instruction, and former Senator. After being introduced Dr. Washington delivered a brief address, in which he explained the secrets of his success as head of the great Mabuay school. Dr. Washington took up the increased appropriation, and strongly urged the board to devote much of this to the development of the agricultural industry. He declared that agriculture presented the broadest field for the Negro, like any other race in some state gardens. He also urged the increased appropriation and cultivating the soil. He said that he did not believe that the colored man's education should be wholly combined to industrial training. In continuing, Dr. Washington said that he would place at Tuggeran, the inmates opposed taking up agriculture as they thought it moral. Now he said it is different to get them to spend enough time away from agricultural pursuits to give them a thorough understanding of agriculture. He argued that for the colored young inmates, education was far more important than an academic education. In explaining the construction that the board was to place upon agriculture, Dr. Washington, but he meant not only farming, but agriculture in culture in all of its branches, including clawing, poultry and cattle raising, garden and track farming and landscape gardening. These subjects taken up, and taught scientifically he said, had proved that he presented the greatest field of endeavor and opportunity for the colored race. Dr. Washington also advocated a liberal education in the crafts and trades, acting strongly in favor of the building trades, being to education for girls, he added domestic science and domestic economics. In this connection he spoke of the large number of competent trained nurses that had been graduated from Tuskegee Short afterward. Dr Washington appeared before the 120 pupils at the school. After professor Gregory had a bachelor's degree from Greene, son of the principal introduced Dr Washington, who then began a heart to heart talk with his hearers on the "Dignity of Labor." In taking in the subject of the dignity of labor, Dr. Washington urged his hearers to place themselves in demand by asking them to do something to help them. He referred to illness as a distrance and smoke of the sweetness of labor and tried to improve upon them if they could learn to do something better than someone else would be the best way to do it. He could probe what the people wanted colors would make no difference. Thus they would achieve success. In conclusion, Dr. Washington warned them against mold. He said a dangerous combination. These ceremonies concluded the entire sorry bad lunchroom, cooked and served by the cooking class. He left the institution State Architect George Paula pointed out a site for the new dormitory and laundry and the suggestions was thoroughly received to the town or administration building and will face the latter at right angles. The Southern Workmen, Hampton; Va. The May number of the Southern Worldman (and I had the Hamilton Institute Press) contains the annual report of Principal Frissell, the chief member of public interest in which is the donation by Mrs. Delta Clark of Brooklyn, Y.A. toward a Y.M.C.A. building for the Institute. The "Zoning article" is "The Task of the Neighborhood" by Dr. S. C. Mitchell of Richmond College, a remarkably clean statement of the work that has cost before the Southern people. A paper describing the handicrafts of this Académie of Louisiana is a pictureque account of those interesting workers, and a "Zoning" eye view of the Lamestown Exhibition is a timely announcement of what may be seen there a month or two hence. The civilizing of Indian music is a new treatment of an interesting theme, with suggestive illustrations. The magazine contains also an illustrated article entitled "Kentucky Associations with 'Inde Tom's Cabin'" and some thoughtful and conservative editorials. Domestic Science Advancing to Professional Dignity THE CHICAGO SCHOOLS An Aggressive Political Leader Causes Republican Patronage Dispensers Embarrassment. CITIGAGO, May 14.—It looks very much as if the new occupation, emphatically called "Domestic Science," is rapidly advancing to the dignity of a profession, and as such the leading occupation of woman kind. At a meeting a few shy ages, composed of some of the best known women in this city, there was a unanimous sentiment expressed that the "thing for girls in the eformatories and in schools for dependent girls," is to give them a thorough training in domestic science. The women who thus expressed themselves are not fadists, but women who have an intelligent insight into social and economic conditions as they affect the health and character of these girls whose future must be speedily reckoned with. People, and their name is legion, who look upon housekeeping as drudgery, and all domestic service as mental, are clearly behind the times, and are missing the new spirit and increasing knowledge of domestic school in China, where cookery and up-to-date domestic science are taught, is crowded with eager students. A recent exhibition conducted by one of these schools carried out as large a crowd as the Grand Opera. The girl nowadays who graduates from a domestic science school, and who is now a cookery tutor fully and artistically as she can fashion a piece of Parisian millinery, is in greater demand and is paid a higher salary than the girl who sells hues and ribbons over a counter. She is eagerly sought, and a good salary and deferential treatment await her in any household which can afford to pay for her skill and training. The kind of girls who are taking advantage of this training are generally of a higher type, in point of character and general graciousness, than the ones who know little about chivalry. In these women who will find chivalry, it will do no harm to people who can easily afford to live without working for pay. Why? Because the time is quite unusual when it is considered discreditable for a young woman to say that she knows nothing about chivalry, and because good reason why a speaking knowledge of French, a training in music and general culture should be incompatible with a trained knowledge of cookery. Domestic society is now being garrified by the academies. It has become popular and attractive. As before stated, this is not being advocated as a bad, but as an accomplishment that will go quite as far in securing domestic happiness in the protection of character, and in enhancing the international accomplishments. It is much to be regretted that Afro-American young women are not yet exposed to the importance of this new field of opportunity. In the many years of our young women are seldom found. The few of domestic service still hounds. The close pride of many of our idle, but well-dressed girls. The fear of the kitchen is the most common one. A girl is not to be blamed for trying to avoid the pity tyranny of the general American banqueteer but the girl who is room-osided in domestic science is no longer able to be a good student. The low, low intelligence even to the kitchen. The trained girl is in a position to command as much deference as the girl in the coming year. As stated in the beginning of this book, the first issue is forging to the point as a leading professor for young women. To what extent are our colored young women going to take advantage of this new opportunity, in which there is a chance to be a good student? The schools in the South appreciate all this and are abiding our young women in opportunity of being a part of this, using the idea which is to bring to them a spectacle of a新华社, and to appropriate compensation. The first issue is for young women to our girls the same training that the Northern white girl is obtaining every other in college, academy and high school. A various situation has developed out of the admission of these colored young women. They are not in the field of the C.A. who for years was captain of the C.A. who is not and who was implacable in his opposition to the admission of colored girls in the foreign is now in the post of their current position. This is something in the nature of our estates and is also a happy illustration of the possibility of metai new and the use of bringing American people to school, as well as perhaps making it shared with itself. Notice of our more aggressive political leaders is coming in no end of embarrassment to the Republican patronage division. Some of them have their own political party, and faithfully fought for the pocket that won such a sweeping and surprising victory in the last contest, most that the state has traveled when something more important happened. One of these, Also Americans of considerably prominent in local politics, created not a little assistance by asking to, and even assisting upon being appointed to the position of an attorney, to S20000 to S20000 a year. Why a so-called nominee should win an office involved with so large an income is one of the concerns of Cook county politics. What should be done to help them should walk in and down these streets with an income of S20000 per year? Why are they thought of it has not only made the appointing powers specializes, but it also the central belt. It is the reason the court has kept in mind for four years, would not be to deserving of more pity than congratulation? It is to be hoped that the matter will be disposed of. Even if the court has not yet upheld a people who have so delightfully are entitled to taking political favors in homestead doses. In the postmortem we will endeavor to adjust our laws to the coming one of big things, and regard to possible destitution. VIRGINIA LAWS COULD NOT Thirty Thousand Policemen Inquired and Sick and Death Charges Paid. NORFOLK, Va. May 13.—Some previous to the year of 1986, Mr. C. C. Bogan, general secretary of the Norfolk Afro-American Y. M. C. A., had been seriously considering the adaptability of interacting a number of Norfolk's enriched talks and contribute a small amount of money until an amount sufficient to begin some business had been raised. He succeeded in interesting about twelve men. They met regularly, each week depositing a small sum. During the year of 1888, Norfolk was formed and incorporated the same year. As a result of Mr. Dogan's efforts this enterprise was incorporated as the Virginia Beneficial and Insurance Company with a capital stock of $50,000. This was an opportunity time for such companies, and was formed and incorporated as a diligent and hustling business men, Mr. M. R. Jackson and a number of shrewd agents started out. Afro-American Insurance Companies were forging ahead so rapidly, that the legislature of Virginia passed laws with the expressed purpose of business, during the year of 1903, and raise the State license of insurance companies to $200 and 1 per cent on gross receipts. These enactments simply caused the Afro-American companies to hustle more and they paid the taxes. These enactments would have brought this effect: In order for insurance companies paying sick and death claims to continue to do business they must deposit in the State Treasury the round sum of $10,000, as a security to their moneys. Virginia would have brought the Afro-American would be a gravy bar for Afro-American insurance companies. White on their route told Afro-American holding policies in Afro-American companies, that they moneys were lost and they had better join the white companies, Virginia, in obtaining insurance and, to individual put up their $10,000 and today there are more Afro-American insurance companies, with home offices in the state, doing business than there are white. The Virginia Beneficial Insurance Co. is the only company of its kind with home office in Tide Water, Va. It has issued over 90 policies in this section; paid for $25,000 or death claims; $150,000 for sick claims. The capital stock is paid up and a share can not be bought for $1,000. This company gives employment to 70 people. Norfolk should have a mercantile corporation, but Norfolk cannot be excelsed, yet, Afro-American must stop eyeing each other with suspicious eyes. The commercial advantages for Afro-American enterprises in Norfolk cannot be excelsed, yet, Afro-Americans in Richmond and other points in Maine are leaving the Norfolkians far behind. The business men have failed to organize. A minister's calling is not to promote business schemes, he is not trained for such. Do you find white ministers president of banks and other corporations, or do you find a team to form a foxy, ness league in Norfolk, or promote a new enterprise. You Norfolk men get out and do it yourself. Dr. L. H. Reynolds is a man that Norfolk cannot afford to be a minister. Norfolk would have more enterprises. Though said, Glo. F. King.

I am not colored teachers take in the people has extended from the schoolroom to the work outside. I am not the greatest extent than any other city I have visited. The average teacher quits school when the day's work is done, but these teachers connect the schoolroom with the work outside. "I am not paused with the provision made for colored people in the Baltimore schools. I have never seen a better kind of work than is being done at the Colored High School and Training School, of which my good friend Dr. King is in charge. Continuing he said: "One way in which the Negro who lives in the North can help his brother in the South is to see to it that in every city of the North, the Negro in the largest cities of the North, the Negro in the most important, moral and upright life. "I sometimes fear that in their great anxiety to be of service to the masses of our people in the South, members of our nation's largest to give proper attention to their own needs, moral and religious condition. A large element of the white race will pass judgment upon the milk on colored people of the South through what they see of the North, and come from the South into the North. "The colored leaders in these Northern cities should let no opportunity escape them to organize and help our people in and out of those will be fewer safety and fewer opportunities in cities. The Negro in the North should present an object lesson—I repeat in the matter of occupation, in the matter of industry and economy and his home. Unless the members of our race in these Northern centres keep pace with the growth of the community in which they live they will place the masses of the South at a disadvantage. However in the South at a disadvantage average man to think if the Negro of the North does not succeed, the Negro of the South cannot succeed. I never encourage a single individual to leave the South because many are leaving the South and perhaps are going to die in the future. I urge upon the leaders of the North to see to it that those who come among them live a life of the highest usefulness. A race, grow discouraged. In the South there are more things upon which the races agree than upon which they disagree. Let us not be so much absorbed in our grievances that we fail to remember our successes and opportunities. "In the Southern States the Negro has organized and is now conducting 31 banks. He has in the United States 122 drug stores. Almost every town and city has a bank. We have other places of business. There is practically no section of the South where the negro farmer, mechanic, merchant and banker cannot find encouragement, opportunity and prosperity. In this respect, let us not overlook the fact that similar opportunities are at our door." "At a very conservative future the Negro is now paying taxes upon more than property, and I suppose the New Yorker intends to not always pay income taxes upon all his holdings. What we have accomplished in the past face of many difficulties is a guarantee to what we can attain to in the future. Finally, let us cultivate a spirit of radical pride: let us learn to be the proud African-American of the Japanse or the Italian is of his. That has faith and pride in itself will eventually win the respect, the confidence and cooperation of the rest of the world." Again, in am most Anxious—and I know every member of our team knows a very important member of our TdE NEW YORK AUb: THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1907. "what our race everywhere bear the reputation of law-abiding and law-respecting people. If others would break the law and be punished, it would be good and respectful and teach our children to follow our example. Advice Against Ignorance. "In this connection, I repeat what I have stated on a recent occasion: My children should be used to get rid of the criminal and leaping element of our people and to make decent, law-abiding citizens. "How may I think the problem will be better solved by inducing millions of our people to leave the South for residence in the North, but I warn you that instead of this being a solution, it will but to the complications of the problem. "In this connection it is most important that the race leader do not permit the children to be compelled. An combined race or individual is always at a disadvantage and loses a large per cent. of his influence for good. We are making tremendous progress nationally, particularly in higher education. We went to day mainly in the South, an acreage that is equal to the combined acreage of the kingdoms of Belgium and Holland. The Negro to-day throughout this country owns more land, more schools, more stores, more banks, has more schoolhouses, more colleges, more teachers, more churches, more ministers, more professional men than has ever been true in the history of our race. A weak man to do when trouble comes is to sit down and cry, to give up in despair and to spend his days and nights in finding fault with someone else; to feel that he can go upon it as a man of strength. The strong man pursues the opposite course. "Complaint, condemnation of wrong, criticism, all have their place in the economy of race-building, but let us not as a man of strength be the habit of depending for our future salvation on mere condemnation, cursing hysterical ravings and blaming some other man or race for all our ills. The weak man depends upon condemnation and constructive ability. Creation—construction in the material, civil educational, moral and religious world is what makes races great. Any child can cry and fret, but it requires a full crew man to create—to construct the members of our race everywhere that they must become, in an increasing degree, creators of their own careers."

NO HARMONY IN OHIO FIGHT To Control the Politics of His State—Taft People Cozy and Uncompromising. From The New York Bus. AKBOS, Ohio. May 13.—Senator Dick ten-ight call off Wednesday's State conference and notified all the Republican leaders who were invited; telling them that his statement would appear in full in the morning papers. Senator Dick feels that his effort to restore peace in the party has gone as far as he could carry it, and has failed because the Taft people have fought it and even Foraker repudiated it. Now he is following the question. Following is his statement: "When, as chairman of the Ohio Republican State Executive Committee, I invited a conference of the State Central and Executive Committees, of the chairmen of the Republican Council, of the State State officers, and of the Republican members of Congress, to be held at Columbus on Wednesday, May 15, I then assumed entire responsibility for the call as I now assume entire responsibility for an indefinite postponement of that meeting. That a brief explanation should be made. "The conference was called with no purpose of ratifying any deal, bargain or compromise, for there was none but to secure party harmony and unity of purpose, and to allay party strife and concession. "This, it was believed, could be done by a full, frank and considerate exchange of information, and finally the adoption of some public expression voicing as nearly as might be the ascertained sentiment of Ohio Republicans. The primary intention of assuming to do more than to recommend united action and effort among Ohio Republicans and no purpose to attempt to dictate or even indorse, or still less nominate, the outcome of the war is that it "It was never meant to have the conference assume the functions of the State convention or enclose upon any rights or privileges of individual Republicans, and any arbitrary action binding the great body of Republicans and no such action was contemplated, as a careful reading of the call will show. Certainly the concession function beyond that of recommendation. "The chief thought was that 'harmony and unity among all the Republicans of Ohio, based upon justice to every element of the party, are essential to the complete success of the country, and should be ensured to insure full success to Republican candidates in all elections, as well as general, and should be secured if possible without delay. The purpose of this meeting has been misunderstood by some and misrepresented by others, and thus it has met with some opposition and disfavor, and in other cases animosity. Therefore, having become convinced that the desired restoration of complete party harmony through the election would be impossible at this time, I presume the meeting indefinitely." UNGENANTI MAY E. Charles P. Tatt, brother of the Secretary of War, was a strong supporter of what he thing to say regarding the latest developments in the contest for political supremacy in Ohio between his brother and Senator Foraker. No there is nothing to say from our side. He seems to me it's up to the other side now. Mr. Tatt was in a particularly pleasant frame of mind apparently and laughed outright. When spoken to he had not heard of the state model to Senator Foraker. George B. Cox had heard of no statement from Dick. he said when seen. He said he would have nothing further to add. The Commission Tribune which is considered to be Senator Foraker's organ here, in its special from Washington printed this morning giving Senator Foraker's latest statement had this comment "The politicians here think the President has made a grave mistake. As has as Secretary Taft is concerned with the personal affair of facing toward Foraker. "His campaign is being managed and directed by the President, and Taft himself has little to say about it. The President has present a message that Taft owes his present preamble in Ohio not to himself, but to the popularity of the President, who is his backer. Therefore he feels at liberty to direct Taft's moves on the Ohio checklist." Frankie and Mr. Frankie Mach company is teamed to the M.

BAPTIST NORMAL INSTITUTE AND RUST UNIVERSITY ALUMNI Interesting Events Told at Two of Middletown Premium Schools HOLLY SPRINGON, Miss., May 14—Two very putable occasions among the Afro-Americans of Holly Springs during the past week were the commencement exercise of the Baptist Normal Institute and the annual meet of the Alumni association of Rust University. It will be remembered that this place was located the Mississippi Normal and Industrial Institute, fostered by the State of Mississippi to the extent of $2,000 annually. In pursuance of his anti-Negro policy Governor Vardaman very soon after his elevation to the Governorship of the State, vetoed the annual appropriation for the institution; thus literally and actually putting it out of business. Undaunted and undismayed, this action of the Chief Executive was the signal for the concerted and aggressive action on behalf of the State and the result is that now, besides the already famous Rust University there are located at Holly Springs two great schools, the Mississippi Theological and Industrial Institute, fostered by the Colored Methodist Episcopal church and the Industrial Institute, fostered by the Baptist of the State. The commencement exercises of the Colored Methodist school and educational classes meeting of the Methodists of the State will be held here in a few weeks. The conference will discuss the activities of Baptist, Normal Institute were held May 5-8, inclusive. It is to these exercises that attention is called in this article. The institution is only two years old, and led by Rev. A. T. Teague, one of the茶叶 school members of the Church Church Church College, which is the State; they have already raised a little more than $6,000, having erected on ground fully paid for a handsome, two-story structure, which, with the buildings already erected, answer all the questions of the President. The president of the institution, has around him some able assistants, the principal ones being Miss Nancy Jones's missionary to Africa, principal; Prof. Chester Jones's assistant, principal; and Miss Vivian Morley. The building is a situation that has been an upward struggle. Its accomplishment has been attained by tremendous sacrifices and a fight against aggravating odds. It only attests the spirit of the secretive and de-minimization of actuates of leaders of the American people in this South land, and to what extent they are willing to labor than a brighter dry might appear. The principal speakers at the commencement express their views to J. A. Fuller, president of the Clerks of Baptist College and Horney Deck Shutter Another occasion of unusual interest was the meeting of the Alumni Association of Rust University, an institution of Rust fosterers, an institution of theological Episcopal church which is one most prominent and best equipped institutions in the South for the training of Afro-American youths. The experience this year was of more than usual interest because the nature of the speaker, Prof. J. Ehols, principal of Birmingham's largest public school, the Shater school, and who stands head and shoulders above southern educators in matters aggressive and progressive, was handed a comprehensive and highly intelligent manner, and although addressed particularly to Rust graduates in the soundness of his biography and the depth of his reasoning was easily applicable to the case at large of the many men and women who was prepared for them, and that in the life of the busy and intolerant man there was no place for evasions or complaints, was the unfortunate result of other things. Trust Alburn must demonstrate the great truth that he who is prepared to do something usually gets a chance to do it. We need not spend much time grumbling about the truth that we believe throughly in the great truth as set forth by Franklin in these words. He was good at making things good in good as anything else. This is no time for grumbling. These amounts of opportunities have been taken advantage of and not wasted by the rights and privileges guaranteed us by the constitution, but we have right at one's own opportunities to lay for ourselves and our children, population and sure.

After a most harrowing day, extending over from Wednesday morning last till Saturday afternoon, the Baptist General Association of Virginia has adjourned. The members of the association were held in Raleigh Mount Zion Baptist church, the Raleigh Town pastor. There were present at this town many of the obliter Baptist ministers of the State and the papers read and sermons preached showed that for erudition, research and general practical knowledge, the ministry of Virginia is in the forefront of the great march of intelligence. The Rev. Dr. G. W. Goode of Danville, president of the association, presided throughout the session of the body. The first day's session convened at 9 o'clock. A. M. After devotional exercises the address of welcome in behalf of the ministry of Richmond was made by the Rev. Dr. Evans Payne, payee of the Baptist Baptist Church. Payne spoke in a most felicitous speech his welcoming being characteristic of that old Virginia hospitality, for which the State has become proverbial. Miss Blanche Kenney extended a welcome in behalf of the Rising Mount Zion Baptist church, Captain Carlton McCarthy, Mayor of Richmond, welcomed the association in behalf of the citizens of Richmond, and the Rev. Dr. Hephurn in behalf of the white Baptists of Richmond: Mayor McCarthy spoke in part as follows: "I shall not be formal or mechanical in extending to you a cordial greeting to Richmond, because of what I know of the great denomination which you represent. Being a Baptist myself, formality is no part: the saving of souls, the preservation of society and all government whether municipal or national is my responsibility. He congratulated the association that there was caught of politics in the gathering, nor as for that, their denomination, as there was no mixing of religion and politics. Politics, the speaker declared and everything else, should be dominated by religion. He regarded the ministers of the Gospel as the greatest power in all nations, whether in time of war or time of peace. He spoke of the forty years in which the God-fearing people of this nation had been struggling for life and purity in the last years that the people had gotten back to first truths, that these lessons of truth and honesty as taught to little children round the heartstone and in the Sunday school were the bedrock principles upon which the perpetuity of the Union rests. He said it was the reincubation of those principles into the hearts of the people that were teaching them to know that however highly cultured a man may be if he was immoral and untrustworthy in his personal life he was unfit to be a member of public treasures in He and his children, that it mattered that he highly might rise in the intellectual scale of being, if their lives did not conform to the laws of God, all their work would count for maughn. He said his welcome expressed the genuine sentiment of the decent, self-representation element of Richmond's population, for they were all pleased to have such representative bodies of their colored fellow-citizens, to gather in their midst between them, to gather Richmond so far as possible, good and respectable who smoke also of the faithful black race, not only to the white but to him, asocial in individual. In return for that success which would ever have his affection for drivers esteem. He impressed the blacks and educators of Nero young to tell those things which they profess and teach and if that was done right, all race problems would be solved. The address of the Mayor was listened to with rapt attention and was most enthusiastically received. The response to the addresses of welcome by the Rev. Dr. J. M. Armstrong of Portsmouth in a moment and forebable manner. At the conclusion of the response, the president of the association, the Rev. Dr. G. W. Goode, read his annual address. After congratulating the association upon the hearty welcome which had been extended on behalf of the citizens of Richmond, through their mayor, and their white and colored ministry, and the numerous circumstances attendant to their gatherings, he requested that the work of the association from its organization, as it appears to the present, be distributed in particular upon the work accomplished in particular upon the work accomplished in the year just ended. The association's field was not Virginia alone, but Africa the farther, and he hoped the association would prove the great lever by which Africa would be lifted from its darkness of suspensions and impoverishment restrained for God. Among the recommendations contained in the address were the establishment of a peace agency through the Baptist Board, the organ of the association, the training control of the training administration of the agency, and the compensation of a fund sufficient to complete the compilation of the history of the colored Baptists of Vir 1 During the sessions of the association several excellent seminars were delivered by the visiting clergy, and there were many strong addresses made and scholarly papers read. Mrs. W. W. Johnson, president of the Women's Social Educational and Mission Society, and Mrs. W. P. Burrell an active member of the society made excellent addresses also Mrs. Magie L. Walker, president of St. Luke's Penny Savings Bank William Ellison Esq., representing the Southern Rivers Association and the General Association of Virginia, both which held editions on Thursday, bringing greetings from these two bodies. Rumors from Virginia Union University, Hartshorn Memorial College and the seven schools which the association holds to support, were present and spoke of the work being accomplished by their schools.

In answer to an article published in *The Dhana Journal* upon "The Negro Problem in Cornell Athletics," the following letter appeared: **ITHACA, N.Y.** It was stated that the "presence of Negro players of cognitiv with white athletes in athletic games, particularly in accordion Corpely increasing accordion in this direction." Those who hold this opinion have evidently lost their sense of humor, for it was remarked above, that one of the Negro players had pitched, a winning game against one of the strongest colleges on the hill. Surely Cornell cannot win and be successful. ```markdown ``` It is also feared that the presence of Nerges in the campus games will lead to their admission to Varsity and class teams. What of it? Cornell has more of Matthew of Harvard, Williams of Harvard, and other co-educated ath- letes? Did not the Irish-American Athletic Club of New York, recognize J. B. Taylor of Pennsylvania, and unanimously elect him to its membership, because of his "reputation for squaresness in the athletic world?" If Cornell is "rapidly coming to be the university which attracts all the blue-blooded Southern youth of fine old ex-slave-holding families," he should be the sole author and preached for the perpetuation of the Union and the abolition of slavery. It has come to a question of principal. Will the spirit of 1818 bow before the spirit of 1807? The admission of Southern Negroes to Cornell does not lessen the number of descendants of blue-blooded ex-slave holders, since blood still runs from grandfather to grandson. The spirit of the broad-minded founder should be present in a centennial at the changes in his plans, for surely he would not be attacked by an acute case of "Black Fever." I know nothing of the campus, teams to which Negroes belong, but I do know the spirit of the men of both colleges so well that I believe they will come stand to the 1920s and understand that they helped to bring their teams to their present state of perfection. Unfortunately, the Negro race is still in a beating position. What it asks for, however, is only fair play in all contests, whether civil, athletic, in college and in the larger world. HALLEE E.

Hughes for President It has been announced that the purpose of the Roosevelt Administration to boost the administration of Governor Charles E. Hughes of New York has been repulsed by the latter, as he does not think he needs any boosting by the Roosevelt Administration. Very good. The citizens of New York will applaud the manhood of Charles E. Hughes in standing under his own hat. He does not need to play second fiddle to Theodore Roosevelt, or any other Republican individuality in the United States. He is big enough to stand on his own bottom. As President Roosevelt insists that he does not want to run for a third term we see no reason why he should dictate what man should succeed him in the White House. If he wants the job that will lead to more talk. As he says he does not want it the party should be left free to select his successor. The National Convention is the only proper measure of accepting the policies he has imposed upon the country. It should be left free to pass judgment upon them. If he does not want the nomination why should he be allowed to impose upon the party a candidate of his selection? We do not want in Ohio candidate. We do not want a candidate of President Roosevelt's selection. We want a candidate selected by the Republican party in its collective capacity in convention. And Charles E. Hughes of New York would be a safe man in the Presidential race. General Kuroki The American people all over have been busy the past week entertaining General Kuroki and his staff, and we are bound to say the distinguished Japanese soldier who displayed so much genius in worstring the Russian forces has been treated as befits his high character and achievements. So far he has found nothing to mar the pleasure of his coming among us. The anti-Japanese sentiment has not found vent. But General Kuroki knows that American sentiment, in large part, has no good blood for him and his race any more than it has for the Chinese. He showed what he felt about it when he refused to come or go by way of San Francisco. The Japanese are a remarkable people. The writer learned that on the spot when he went through a part of Japan a few years ago, and because of the good treatment he received from the Japanese people with whom he came in contact he will always think well of them. The Japanese people treat all Americans visiting their country with distinguished consideration, and it would be better if American visitors to Japan would treat the native institutions and prejudices with more consideration. The rudeness of American travelers is responsible for much of the bad blood that exists between the Americans and the Japanese and Chinese. ToG In the Lead There was great news from Ohio last week, from the State where every man is a politician and thinks he should have an office of some sort, and raises Cain when he fails to get it. There is always political news of pith and moment from Ohio, which breathes such as the lightning and the gale breathe clarification of the air and health into the nostrils of mankind. The newspaper reports have it that George R. Cox, the unpolluted master of the Republican politics of Hamilton county, has announced that Secretary William Howard Taft must have the endorsement of the Republicans of Ohio for the Presidency, but to this pro-nouncement Senator Foraker does not concur. It appears that on a line up of the sentiment in Ohio the Republican leaders came to the conclusion that it was possible to get the Presidency for Ohio again, provided the State would expose the candidacy of Secretary Taft, and that it allow the opportunity to gain unproposed would be contrary to all of the traditions of Ohio Republican politics in the office absiding business, and the warring factions, with President Roosevelt's big stick swinging over their heads, like the sword of Dionysius of Syracuse over the courtier head of Damocles, got together and decided to unite on Secretary Taft as the candidate of the State. But the leaders reckoned without the Foraker faction. The Senator will none of it. The Taft people are not conceding anything, and may do what they can to keep Senator Foraker out of the Senate when he comes up for re-election next year. ```markdown ``` But even with the Republics of this solitely behind him that does not ensure the nomination of Secretary Taft. He has got to get the National Convention. Other States have favorite sons. And it is convention history that the favorite seldom bears the palm of victory away. He takes into the convention a certain opposition candidates usually combine against him and make possible the nomination of a dark horse. It may be that way in the case of Secretary Taft. It is fair to say that secretary Taft has many elements of strength which no other candidate for the nomination possesses. He has a great big personality of his own. He has had large administrative experience. He is better informed than any man in the country on the insular conditions of the Republic. The native Filipinos love him, because as Governor of the Islands he was their friend, and is their friend. And the people of the United States believe that he is a strong, brave man, thoroughly equipped for any public service. Afro-Americans have a right to be suspicious of all Ohio statesmen. K. B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, William McKinley, as Presidents, must be held responsible for having sacrificed the rights of the Afro-American people, and of having placed them in the position of disadvantage which they now occupy—because the average Ohio politician never is anything but a politician, seldom rising to statesmanship. Secretary Taft has not shown in his conduct of the War Office and the policy of the Government in the Insular territories that he is different from other Ohio politicians in his estimate and treatment of Afro-Americans. The Gift For Rural School Education The gift of Miss Anna T. Jeanes for rural school education in the Southern States has awakened a wider interest among Afro-American than any of the gifts for Southern education which have gone before it, because Afro-American public opinion is better informed and more active than in former years, and because of the peculiar and crying need which the fund is intended to assist. In another column of THE AGE to day a correspondent, questions the part Dr. Washington had in getting the fund. That is natural. There are a large number of Afro-Americans who spend a large part of their time swinging the interrogation point at everything they cannot do and do not do. Mr. Hamlet wants proof that the gift was secured "largely through the efforts of Dr. Washington." The only proof that would satisfy Mr. Hamlet would be a signed statement from Miss Jeanes attested by a notary public, and he is not going to get that. The fact that Dr. Washington is left with discretion to select the trustees of the fund, and will select them, and from what we know of his efforts to secure the fund, because of his devoted interest in the rural schools of the South, is all the proof that is needed to convince honest folk that the gift was made largely through his influence. The Brave Hereros of South Africa. The story is told of the Hereros that, finding they were unable to stand up against the Germans in German Southwest Africa, they trekked northeastward, with the intention of making a new settlement in the neighborhood of Lake Ngami (Of the fifteen thousand who left their tribal country to start life anew only four thousand reached the new country. The eleven thousand died of hardships on the journey. Now, this is a new exhibition of the African character which we have not come across before. To fight the enemy as long as there was a chance of success and then when all seems hopeless to get out of the native land and seek a home in a new country—this is not, as we understand it, a characteristic of the native African character. When the British whipped the Dutch Bosses of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State a large number of them went away in a strange land and started in anew to build a free country of their own. That is the right spirit. It is the spirit which people America and has been peopling ever since the spirit that would rather die with independence of foreign domination than submit to alien rule. It is the proudest and best spirit in the life of mankind, and as long as it shows itself anywhere in the world, tyranny and the vile oppression which underlies tyranny will always find itself halked of its purpose to degrade mankind. All home to the heroic Heroes. May they tribe multiply in Africa. May the four thousand of them that survived the horrors of the hegira so increase that the time will come when they will be able to inflict upon the brutal Germans all the horrors of retaliation which should come to them. A people who will not resent tyranny, who will not lift back when they are struck, who will not bow when they are outraged, are not good. The Afro-Americans submit to all sorts of wrongs, move from one plantation to another, howl like the deme when they are oppressed, but neither hit back nor move away when they are wronged. The kicked out which neither bowls nor bites when he is kicked, who cries for him? May the James Rural School Fund have millions placed at its disposal to prepare at the bottom the neglected black division of the Southern States, who are denied an efficient common school education, for which their parents pay equally with the whites, by the authorities of the Southern States. Having converted Booker T. Washington from the error of his ways Editor Wilkins of The Chicago Conservator, is as happy as a claim at high tide. But we want to know if Dr. Wilkins is still a number "in good and regular standing" THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1907 of the Niagara Movement? Or are we to understand by Dr. Wilkins' statement that he has got Dr. Washington converted, that, while he was in Chicago, and without giving Tuk Agk the tip, he joined the Niagara Movement? We want to know, for the whole business is developed in an obfuscation that knocks the respiration out of ululation. Hoke Smith, has executed new Governor of Georgia, has got back from Europe. Plenty of people will be disappointed that he did not die in Europe. Such political hyenas as he deserve nothing of their fellow-citizens but excreations, as they saw to the winds and should get all the whirlwind there is going. For one, we want Hoke Smith to understand that we despise him as we would a mud dog and that if he were dead we would gladly strew his grave with flowers. he secured the passage of a resolution urging "Congress to reimburse the Freed-smogman that he has this right to be more being democratic this effort of Mr. Smith was a musterly one.

Man, at his best is a big cipher until he gets the figure one is wife before the cipher, then he is something. Mrs. Smith, a cultured, refined lady, and one possessing commercial qualities, has been an indispensable factor for the life of the "Mud dog" as partner.

In the brief space of the most urgently depends upon the group of many offences, we have a fortunate few; while some by reason of superior envoyationally, however, some inspired and endowed with some of adverse environment as a portability. But a short way were removed from among or life two men whose focused an one object, the conditions under which exists. Two lives, the one each other in temperance and plan of action, yet de-in harmony and to arrive in the form they determine. The one in the The Columbia (S. C.) State may: "The basic principle of Democracy is principles, or measures, not men." Very good. Now, will The State tell us what those principles are? It appears, after all, that Hayti was represented at the opening of the James-town Exposition on paper, and that her naval representative was there but made no exhibition of himself, being a gentleman; but the newspapers have had nothing to say, that we have seen, about it. We learn indirectly that the proprietor of Chamberlain's Hotel, which is on Government reservation ground, at Old Point Comfort, was given so many minutes by the American naval commander to make prearrangements for the entertainment of the Haytian guests or have his place done up. We are glad to hear that. If the Democratic party would nominate William L. Douglas of Massachusetts for President there would be things doing. Dr. S. C. Mitchell says in *The Southern Workman*, that "the South is rich in religious sentiment. It constitutes our chief asset." Now, we are glad to know it; but, candidly, if that be true, what is "religious sentiment," and what does Dr. Mitchell mean by it? A cable designate, from St. Petersburg says that the Russian Government has decided not to send any warships to the Jamestown Exposition naval pageant, as "it cannot find any suitable ships." Sure not; there's a reason. But, honest, couldn't the Czar's government borrow a ship from somewhere, and send over one of its "gallant and heroic" admirals? Japan might spare her one. NEW BERN'S SUCCESSFUL CITIZEN AND HIS WORK Sketch of Iannie H. Smith, Prominent And Actress, Burlington Man. then take a trip to hospitalize. New York then your imagination will become reality. Mr Smith owns 200 houses in New York. He simply applied this proverb to his life. He will do whatever he might do within the limits he can afford. He saw how a certain class of Afro-American laborers were housed and be started at once to supply the demand. His home is a model of the modern conveniences, but also alarmed electric lights in fact it is an ideal home. The cost of this principally structure was be taken into account and ten thousand dollars. Mr Smith is the manager of the Eastern Building and Loan Association of Syracuse, N.Y. was honored by the Board of Directors of the real Association which adopted a resolution commending Mr. Smith for his goal. James H. Smith is a synonym for husband. Therefore, the Craven County Republican Convention if the summer of 2088 nominated him for the State legislature. Being a leader of men he received a handsomeote and was elected. During the term he secured the passage of a resolution urging Congress to reimburse the Freedom's Bank depositors; by this legislature being democratic this effort of Mr. Smith returned to New Born from the legislature his constituents come out to commute to the depot to welcome their leader. A man must cultivate each day an unselfish spirit and do something that he should expect a financial gain for certain data. Our subject is a generous character and he demonstrated this fact when he gave a Christmas tree to the poor and aged and integrated the entire conference of the A.M. E. church in this city. His generosity has won him this title: "The prince of good fellows." Man, at his best is a big cipher until he gets the figure on his chest. He has something. Mrs. Smith is cultured, refined lady, and one possessing commercial qualities, has been an indispensable factor in the life of Mr. Smith, as his life partner. Her parents are among the old democratic families of the old North Side. Mr. Smith is an active communicant of St. Cyprian P. E. church of this city.

RAY STANSARD BAKER And His Articles in the American Magnitude. To Mr. Ray Stannard Baker Dear Sir, Will you allow me to have a word with you? It may not be out of place to explain that I am merely a Negro woman, a mediocre product of the local public schools, and as I was graduated before the course of study contained so many objections and iems I cannot be expected to know much. I know enough, but I am grateful for any attempt at fair treatment from a white person, toward my needs. Will you allow me to think you for your articles published in *The American Magazine*? They are the fairest and most human words I have read for some time. I have read them with understanding, as we so thoroughly understand, that the difference between the races is merely the external one of feature, of hair texture, of pigment, plus opportunity; that indeed, and in truth, of bath made in the same manner, and all the face of the earth. There is no real difference between the honoured masses of our people and the early Britons as we read of them, when we shall have been in contact with American civilization 500 years, we will have had the same class of the Britons of Roman civilization. There is no real difference between those of us who have had ordinary opportunities and the same class among the whites. If we could but make your people understand and acknowledge these important part of the problem would be solved. Meanwhile we have one advantage, if it may be regarded, we know your people "from start to finish." I have thought that our understanding of people is based on what we know about them we wonder that the majority of white people seem to understand us so little. In the street cars or any other places of public contact we can assert we know people. We told that the shows made a great distinction between "the quality" and "poor white trash" we do the same thing, only the distinctions we make are finer and more subtle. Who comes tell at a glance the overweight, shaggy hair of the women in the audience and culture. Now the shop girl is as sometimes happens, a column of comparative retirement and culture, we understand and appreciate that too. Why cannot your people be better? Has God made the man blind before He allows him to receive himself? If it were not misleading it would be missing to see you insist on the color of among us and credit the person of the color to those possessed by the blacks. It seems so strange that our white friends almost universally fall into that error. Our English friends our Northern friends our friends I mean, all make the same color upon reading such classifications when we know so well that many of the traumatized men and women among us are embittered. Negged in appearance and that mind such are for a time. We know that many who have white parent would never be as fasy as appearances, be so criodated or discredited. We know that large families, when the children are well display among themselves every shade of complexion and every texture of hair. Have the fair children in such families more white blood and consequently moving to the inference greater ability needed for such an ability is concerned the reverse of the proposition is often true. In the new generation other things being equal the fair children become parts of darker offspring, and the reverse of the proposition is often true. Distinctions made on account of color? One other point. Do the whites of the South teach and truly believe that we deserve social equality, or is it not rather that we deserve social equality and a saint for their unique consciousness? Social equality? How can such a thing be forced? We do not have it coming unless we do. We do not have it among those among who are competent and companionable there can be social equality between those only whose ideals and ideals are equally elevated or degraded. The self respect and power of a person is not limited to virtuous and lawless. We judge and select our companions by their words and ways rather than by outward appearance, and we desire to be so judged. Very respectful. Washington, May 3. DEATH OF TWO OF CALFURBIA'S MOST PROMINENT MEN T. B. Morton and T. A. Brown Power fat Factors in Race Program on the In the brief space of time allotted to mortal man to execute his mission, success largely depends upon his ability to group opportunity; the failures of the many difficulties pave the way for the more successful man. By reason of superior environment. Occasionally, however, some brilliant mind, inspired and endowed with the divine spark of benevolence, triumphs in spite of adverse environment and back of opposing forces. When the man were removed from among to the higher life two men whose energies were focused on one object, the betterment of the conditions under which their race exists. Two lives, the very opposite of one, are inseparable and plan of action, yet destined to work in harmony and to arrive by different routes at their destination almost simultaneously. The one inflexible and unbending as the oracle, forceful and strenuous, effort to uphold his race, by mature bountifully endowed mentally and physically - our friend and brother, Theophilus K. Morton. The other, gentle and unobtrusive, quietly yet effectively emulating and softening the horrors of his fellow man, and sweetness of temperament - our friend and brother, Thaddeus A. Brown. We would not honor their memory by associating with it their achievements in politics and business, since it is the thought of self-remuneration or agranization. The fruits of their joint labors along these lips will be remitted by others, for which purpose they planted. We must seek some field which required greater self-admiration and personal sacrifice by reason of superior environment. One incident in the life of each man. On arriving in San Francisco about fourteen years ago, Thaddeus A. Brown sought the circle of those influences which make for the uplifting of the race and the little encouragement and he would have become a Christian early in his career. He was an enthusiast in the work of the trutual orders with which he was associated, and here the opportunity was presented whereby he exhibited his love and encouragement to the young men he espoused. The order of Knights of Rythms among the race in the United States was represented in San Francisco about twelve years ago by a little struggling lodge of six or seven members. For his efforts the bodge was given a order on the const would have been stayed, at least, for quite awhile. In this work he was ably quite awhile. In this work he was ably a worthy Knight. The little plant nurtured by Thaddeus A. Brown has become a treasured plant. The plants have likewise become fruitful plants. Not only this he planted the flag of Pythianism beyond the confines of the United States for the first time having established a bodge in Australia while on a visit to that country. No greater monument than the keeping green in our minds those noble deeds of his Bruther Brown possessed a wonderful memory, and as a mentor or exemplifier of the work in the bodge room was solidly surpassed. He was a man of great friends and sorrows must be attributed to his misplaced generosity. But his heart was true, and the testimony of faithful friends who were with him when he was called is that he died a repentant sinner. He was a man of great Lord for they rest from their labors and their works do follow them." To many of us T. E. Morton will be remembered by reason of his efforts politically in behalf of his race. He has grappled the self-identified fact that a race individual without the individualism and the individualism to make his rise on the Election was a powerful political factor. Consequently though such efforts were, set the objection of the man could not be beset by the requirement of a legal basis for his political affiliation. But there was a cause deeper than any other the cause of that particular branch of Christianity which he championed and espoused for forty years. He believed that the Christian belief in the certain beliefs, which he had been totally shattered by them. He had witnessed the moral and spiritual destruction wrought on his people those monsters and wiles in sheer disgrace. And that their feeding ground. And that the crowning infancy of all was accepted and his latest confidence had been brought into the fight in defense of the home and the state of the country and affiliations both social and religious and loss of population and chance through the dislaborable majority of unprotected men and women. He had been David to deny the loss of hope and consumption. A vast number were who helped to hold up his land. The weight of moral influence and the quality of a community against David. He was convinced that the abuse of Thompson R Morton have been in vain. The ethical and religious rather than the business features of the bode appeared to him, and his career in the budge room was based on his own experience. Another brother who would otherwise have suffered through some terrible error always found in him a champion. He believed that the spirit rather than the letter of the law should be observed. He was a legal man and a man of integrity. He was championed. He pledged grate and concession was, astonishing. He possessed a well balanced legal mind, trained and strengthened by years of practical experience in the work to which he was engaged. Given another community, he might have acquired National importance. "Will come then good and faithful servant enter then into the joy of thy heart." Industrial Building Dedicated Rattlett N. C.

WHITE MEN IN CONGOLAND. Buffetrange They/Inkett and Madure in Order to Get More Wealth. The rule of King Leopold in *Congolland* has produced not only a dividend-producing wilderness of tragedy, but also a preponderance of the unfortunate, inconspicuous of the Mundu Mundi Mundi Men of all nations—French, Belgian, Italian, Norwegian and Dutch adventures—have flocked to the blue flag of state in search of treasure and adventure. If it were possible to parade two thousand of the Belgian King's Congo officials in the square at Whitchall, London, they would be able to form some extent able to grasp the first principles of the Congo problem. It would be a motley regiment. Most of the men would be bearded or formed in anything from a half-suit of gaudy pajamas and an understret to a decayed survival of an ancient suit of coachem-downs, to be in spotless ducks and write with pith helmets—being the civil officials of the government and the dapper clerks and under secretaries from Bonn, Mantadi and Leopoldville. The rest would be in uniforms of blue and gold. But all the men would be pile of face and enunciated as a frog, unhealthy-looking hand, lack of robustness, the very rudiments of robustness. Their thin arms and bent backs, their sticky yellow-white faces and nervous skinny hands would tell of lives spent in the midst of moxies vapors and malarious hostages, dehumanizing doorman would be little significant of humanism, a safeguard against surprise. Each man of the company would be an adventure: who has faced and escaped death a hundred times. And every man would in a certain sense be a hero; some of the bravest, some of the heroes, because any man who has lived in Congoland is of proved animal courage, a man brave and strong and daring. Those who survive the teeming school of the life are sublime, men of the age of the conquest, days of the obnivience of Spanish chivalry, strong and cruel and blindly daring. The Congolese officials have some of the qualities of the fighting pioneer and the rockless, dare-devility of the soldier of fortune. But many of our rugged band of soldiers, the soldiers of the qualities of the civilized warrior. Contact with fearful danger has entirely brutalized many whose very courage is but the outcome of a total loss of imagination; and the possession of power has destroyed the humanity of many others, born to serve, have been forced to lead. Yet these are the men who rule in Congolese. A couple of thousand of them own in subjection something like, 20,000. It should not be imagined that all the natives of Central Africa are deside, unassuming creatures, of childlike gentleness. Many of the black men are warriors and sons of warriors, mighty hunters, and are brave and battle hard in warship. All of them hate the white man—yet they serve him. However one may hate the methods employed in Congolese, one must to some degree be aware of the herdic insistence of those 2,000 subjects of the Congo sovereign. They are not kicked men.

This Dr. Watson did, through his unpretentious stories. His readers felt his broad, generous spirit in every detail, without knowing why, by his simplicity of utterance.

They Took Nothing for Granted, but Plugged Away Until Victorious. WASHINGTON, May 10.—The following is a synopsis of the eloquent address of Mrs. Mary Church Terrell to the student body of Howard University April 30: History teems with instances illustrating the fact that men, both wise and simple, have failed utterly in their attempts, have forecast the future by inhumane insults, have benefited in the happiness of the past. Indeed, the fool's prognifications are often as reliable as the savant's. The strong man is he who does independent thinking. No advance in science, art or literature has been made except by those who had faith in themselves and refused to take for granted the pessimistic prophesies of those who foretold failure. The locomotive engine, the steamboat, the ship, the car, the man who dared to work independently and set at naught the wet blankets thrown upon their endeavors by obstructionists. But it is impossible to deal properly with individuals without first taking recourse to history and noting the application of the same thing to nations. Throughout the span of time conceived nations have arisen who fondly imagined themselves foreordained to superior places and regarded other races as inferior with respect to opportunities of progress on equal terms. In spite of the fact that time after time such peoples have been overthrown and their places taken by those whom they despised, the world is still prone to accept as valid that foolish, vain and wicked doctrine. A close fresh in the memory of all is that of Japan and Russia. When the dispute arose there was no lack of military and military experts who predicted that China would clare that the buoyancy of the Caucasian would quickly show itself and that the darker race would be destroyed in short order. But Japan took nothing for granted—was skeptical as a scientist in his laboratory. Even before, when the disruption with China occurred, the self-appointed prophets of China said that China would do well for a white but could not stand China's continued reinforcements and would give way under the continued strain. Experience, as all know, prove otherwise. After Japan's victory Russia entered Manchuria, and, breaking all faith, remained there in defiance of her own promise. Although Japan was more intimately concerned in the withdrawal of Russia than any other nation, still felt a deep interest in seeing the law of nations obeyed. The only question was, Could the Japanese coerce the Russian bear? The ever present, expert came forward and declared that it might brown men and women and that their fleet could hardly cope with Russia's injured sailors. The speaker showed herself a master of satire. By voice and gesture and facial expression, she held up to ridicule the fool's motion, that victory was certain for Russia because the Russian was the Japanese gained a decide advantage at sea. Nothing daunted, the prognosticators claimed that Port Arthur was impregnable and the Russian defenses as strong as Gibraltar. The brave little Japanese, still taking nothing for granted, pressed on and assume complete mastery, but the British left the battle, but the Russian's second defeat at sea finished it. The Jaws were victors. The Revolutionary War is a case in point. The undisciplined, poorly provided for raw recruits of George Washington, discouraged by their follows at home and by all seeming combinations of circumstances, drove to defeat, the pound armies of the French, and the British, disciplined and fully supplied with all the implements of warfare. Had the colonists taken things for granted, America today would be a dependency of Great Britain. Many other instances of similar nature might be cited. Toussaint L'Overture is a character that commands the revolution of all wars. This man, through whose veins not one drop of Cottonan blood flowed, met and successfully withstood the great Napoleon, famous as a military genius whose equal is hard to find in the annals of history. This general, Toussaint L'Overture, showed himself a match for him in all points save his treachery and doctot, established with institution the ideal republic, given its constitution and maintained with it success. Many can predict better than they can think. Few individuals stand out more conspicuously than Cyns W. Field, and no achievement is greater than his mastery over nature and man. This treptip inventor believed that he could lay an Atlantic cable. Fools and wise men and the wise man can understand that the fool is bound in, however, the secured money, spending all of his own and much of his friends. Failures did not discourage him, and after twelve long years his success was complete. Mrs. Harriett Beeson Stowe's great book "Uncle Tom's Cabin" did much to arouse the consciousness of the nation to the dreadful evils of slavery. Many told Mrs. Stowe, nevertheless, that bad land and further agitation was unmissable. She needed not the counsel of the Grand United Brethren of Do-Nothings, but published her book—which a competent observer said did more to abolish slavery than any other single agency. The Negro's progress since emancipation has been so great as to be unparalleled. The Atlanta Constitution said recently, that he be unparalleled. Atlanta has as large as it was just after the War of the Rebellion. Statistics show clearly and conclusively that the Negro has decreased his illiteracy from about 100 per cent, to 64 per cent, in forty years, and the per cent is still falling rapidly. His wealth is the creeping greatly in the rank of an institution out of many is the fine painting entitled "Raising of Lazars" by Henry O. Tanner. This picture stood severe competition and was purchased by the French government. It hung on the walls of the Lazyebee of Tolstoi uttered in a language of philosophy of philosophy at a people one started on the march to greater heights will never stop short of the goal; no more can they be checked than can the current of a great river be held in restraint. In spite of injustices in many places and discrimination everywhere, nothing can stay the progress of the aspiring individual. Her Terrell at the conclusion of her splendid address was greeted with prolonged applause. The Florida Legislature has decided not to repeal the Fifteenth Amendment. So glad. Now, if the Florida Legislature will decide to repeal itself it will, he will. SEARCHING INQUIRY ORDERED AS TO CRUELTERS TO PILIPINOS Action Taken on the Practices to Exert Confession from Prisoners. From The Eventing Post. WARHINGTON, May 9—Searching Investigation of the alleged practice of cruelties upon Filipino prisoners to extort confessions has been ordered by Secretary Taft. The secretary of the New York city recently called Mr. Taft's attention to the publication in newspapers by Horace White of a letter from Dr. David J. Doherty, the representative of the association in the Philippine Islands. In his letter Mr. Doherty recites the use of thumbcrews on prisoners, by the Filipino president of Tolosa, to extort confessions were thus tortured until the blood was taken place in the presence of an American army officer, who stood by and did not stop it. In the same letter Dr. Doherty cites the case of an American army detective who was alleged to have beaten a chained prisoner to force a confession. Another charge in the Doherty letter is that prisoners were tried in large parties, and were not advised of their right to demand sequential release. When the letter of the secretary of the association was received he was informed that Secretary Taft had already enabled to Governor Smith to institute an immediate investigation of all of the charges, and to call upon General Wood for an inquiry into the charge against the army detective. This investigation is proceeding, and the evidence of facts are obtained. It is evident from the vigor with which Mr. Taft has attacked the question that it will go hard with the guilty parties if the charges of Dr. Doherty are sustained. There are no American officials in the municipality of Tolosa, with the exception of the secretary of the council; all are elected by the people, and all without exception are Filipinos. In the absence of the Governor of Lima, the Governor of that province has been galled upon by Governor Smith to investigate the whole affair. It is charged that Governor De Veyra had knowledge of the conduct of the presidente of Tolosa, and if this charge is proved, the Governor will probably lose his office, as it was clearly his政务, soon as the facts came to his knowledge to have placed the guilty on him. Dumb is expressed here as to the accuracy of the charges about the trial of prisoners. It is said that every defendant on trial in criminal cases is represented by competent attorneys, who are either by employed by the jury or experienced in the past has been that the attorneys represent the defendants ably and faithfully. In many instances civilian prisoners have been discharged or acquitted, some of them having been proved innocent, and others, because of their youth, or because they were carried out wrongdoing. Where joint charges are filed against the defendants in criminal cases, the prisoners are said to have invariably been supplied with three or more competent attorneys. Until Governor Smith makes his report to Secretary Taft, comment is with respect to the charges of the Boherty charges. It evidently the intention of the secretary to probe these charges to the bottom. John L. on Cardinal Gibbons and President Roosevelt. WASHINGTON, May 7.

Sir: At this hour, when the people of the Nation are seeking to bring under the control of law the greater industrial and financial combinations, the thought of the dangers of an unhealed and irresponsible piece of work is occurring more and more in the past and has worked have in the smaller democracies, is taken in the smaller democracies by the newspapers of a certain class. Who knows but that the criminal record of the United States, according to such life, is among the savage tribes of Africa, is due in great measure to the wonderful but disreputable prominence given to crime in the sensational passes? No youth are more intelligent or more susceptible to impressions for good or ill than the American youth. Yet they are made familiar with the various institutions. This knowledge is stored in the brain, and becomes the sure means of evil suggestion at critical moments of passion, resentment or temptation. The power of auto-suggestion at certain moments or brain conditions is almost overwhelming hence the growing record of detachment, moral adventures, suicides, and not Why should crime be explained in the daily press that reaches the home? Would it not be better it be telegrammed criminal reports were sent to the police headquarters of all cities and published in special bulletins for the information of the police and detective because of the country. That is why all such bulletins while the law force might be put in the general press without sensational flaming headlines. As the city, the State, or Nation protects its men, women and children from infection or contagion of yellow fever, smallpox, and the like, so should the city, the State, and the Nation protect the south from the filthy contagion of the sensational press, and the malaria and mismaje of the criminal court record. Every copy of the national police report is intended and maintained to every informed, unfortified mind. Surely, there is unawareness in a policy on the part of the State. is organized parenthood that spends millions in littering its youth for useful citizenship, that allows, or even houses, agencies and institutions like the son of a criminal, a child of a gangging debt, and the brothels, which are hostile and destructive to the character of its youth and to the purity, honor, and tactiveness of their citizenship. E. L. BLACKSHEAR Prairie View, Walber county, April 27 Another View of Southern Labor Problem From the Charlotte Museum There is a deep feeling throughout the southern states in the hearts of the white people, in favor of immigrants coming from Europe and Ireland and the South is handing out every inducement to them which is no more than right, if the Negro is not willing to fill his position as a man and a citizen. When one views the situation correctly and looks matters in the face, he cannot help agreeing with the spirit of the southern white man in his effort to太阳城. The North has always been able to pay higher wages than the South and it is handing out and has been for some time higher wages and better treatment to the Negro than the South. In consequence of this, the North is asking the South to take the trash and vicious clam, ever keeping up strife and confusion between the two races. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY MAY 16, 1907. THE ARKANSAS LEGISLATURE The Legislature Severely Scored When It Legislates Against Interests of Whites. PINE BLOOP, Ark., May 13—The Arkansas Legislature, which is estimated to cost the State $150,000, is giving the Negroes some hard and fatal blows. We shall present cold facts and few comments in this article, but let the white Democratic newspapers and one white Republican paper endorse the Negroes. Arkansas Legislature. The Legislature passed a law requiring the sheriff of every county to purchase blood-hounds to run down criminals. Of course it means Negro criminals. The Senate of the Legislature endorsed the resolution passed by the legislature to prosecute for dismissing the colored soldiers of Brownville, Tex., and the Lower House rejected it. The legislators, for fear of running out of an excuse of prolonging the session, are introducing bills that are already the law, and repealing it.—The. Ark. . . Montgomeryian. We are of the opinion that the Legislature could have done all the necessary work in less than sixty days. The memoirs of the late Senator John A. McCarthy, a day at home — *Hunfairte Republica*. Senator Wingo presented a resolution memorializing the Arkansas members in Congress to urge the repeal of amendments 14 to 15 to the Constitution of the United States, which would disfranchise a Negro voter. Senator McKnight intended to amend the Constitution to commit the aim of which is to prevent Negroes from waiting on white persons in hotels, restaurants, as barbers and also porters on trains, and to prevent whites serving Negroes. We are suffering from too much legislation. We believe that most men will be better off if this session of the Legislature had never held *Monticello Advance*. A resolution has been introduced to further extend the legislative session until the 10th of June. But for the sake of desecration and a suffering people, we hope it would be seriously considered. It would be little less than criminal. The Monticello man. The penitentiary committee has recommended that the Legislature bring all of the white convicts from the farms to other places, bring them in out of the sun and mud, put them inside of the prison, and train them to the chinery and learn them trades of all kinds, and let all the Negro convicts work on the farms. The Legislature has made it a penitentiary offense for any one to carry deadly weapons concealed. This is meant to trap hundreds and thousands of Negro men who like the thousands of white men go armed and feel the need to rob weapons when white men get angry and whip out nugly weapons for business. The Legislature, with only one dissenting vote, that of Senator Legate, passed the bill introduced by Judge Martin, repealing the entire civil rights chapter of Kirby's Digest, which has been a dead letter for thirty years. This statute of law guarantees to the Negroes equal rights with those in hotels, salons, theatres, railroads and public and massive places. The State Republican of Little Rock, Ark. says. While the churches of Little Rock are raising money to send missionaries to the savage heathen, why not appropriate a few dollars to send a missionary to the savage? There is a talk of extending the legislative session another month or two. Of course the members want to put off going back to work as long as possible. The Legislature of Arkansas has recently established a State reform school, which opened the under the Penitentiary to boys and girls under 18 years of age who need discipline and correction. The new building for the whites is ready, and the white boys in the penitentiary have been transferred to the school. The Little Rock Ark. District says that "the boys that he will not be ready for the Negro boys for some time." Certainly not. Senator Jefferson Davis, who until last autumn was Governor for six years of Arkansas, who also wants the "14th amendment" passed, says what is needed in the United States Senate is not Senate reform, but a constitutional amendment and that as soon as he gets to Washington next winter when Congress convenes, he intends with such trusty blades as Tillman, Varsadhman and Bob Taylor, to start one in combination, federation and agreement. Representative Quinn of Garland county that the not squared on the head the New Yorker, and that he is changing the motion of the State from "Roman Populus" to "Roman Populus" came up for action by the House. Dr Ruff moved to amend by striking out the Latin and making the mottagged "The People Rub." At this point, Mr. Quinn suggested that they had better confine themselves to facts and say "A Gang of Christians Rub." The State Republic. It is amusing to say the best to motivate the contemptions reference to the county press by some of our present legislators in their discussions. Each and every one of these matters seems to think that themselves solid with the "other people." Now it were possible to convert all the gray matter processed by these spanners into church; there wouldn't be enough of it to move the bowels of a hummingbird *Lee County Courter*. It depicts the mature time of 1805 was the moment that the present session "at no one will charge that it was as savage and ignorant" Governor Hayes "recorded the average Arkansas Legislature when he called it a "zoo" and the members a "bimble of ducks." Among the many frighten messages considered by the legislators, a bill to prohibit outsiders owning property in Arkansas, and a bill to forbid Negroes waiting on tables in hotels or restaurants. "Intelligent citizens are disgusted, but as long the people are guided by the yellow dog in politics, so long will these conditions be put in the State." The State Republican The bill introduced in the Legislature to imprison for debt will probably become a law. Nearly all the white counties are evacuated from the operations of the bill, the black counties being left to bear the brunt of the law. This bill is neither fair, nor honest, nor constitutional. A bribe to imprison a person for an debt is not permitted, nor to imprison it if committed in another county, is the rastest kind of class legislation, and reflects on the men who issued the bill. Of course the object of the measure is to imprison a Negro who beats a debt, but to allow a white man to beat his debts with impunity. If beating a debt is wrong in one case, it is wrong in another, and should be punished accordingly."—State Republican. The Little Rock (Ark.) State Republican says: "The Arkansas House of wild mice on Tuesday when Representative Foster of Cleveland county, hurried an inkstand and glass tumbler at the head of. Representative Quinan of Garland, showering the innocent bystanders with the heavy bottom of the glass as it glanced from the lobby railing. Wednesday morning Representative Foster started on the warpath a second time, and had a lively mix-up with a representative of *The Arkansas Democrat*. Several blows were struck. Foster hurried to the door, where he struck which struck a pillar and broke. A lady who was the guest of one of the members was thoroughly bespattered with ink, and a new Easter hat was ruined. Representative Quinan insists that Mr. Foster should buy the lady a new hat, but Foster didn't "dishbaked" if he will, as the Legislature isn't no place for a woman, now. The Arkansas Legislature last week passed a bill to compel the attendance in the public schools of the State of children between the ages of 6 and 14, but exempted from the provisions of the bill 40 counties in the black belt where the Negroes are as plentiful as files for the reason (say the white law-makers) that, the agricultural industries of the State would suffer if the Negro boys and girls were not in the white legislators, says The Arkansas Daily Gazette, who represented those counties, were opposed to forcing education on the Negroes. The Legislature had before it a bill, called the "Negregation Bill," to pay all the school taxes paid by Negroes to the support of Negro schools, and all paid to the support of white schools. A bill hot with prejudice and injustice dismissed all the fair-minded white citizens. We clip the following from the Memphis (Tenn.) Commercial Appeal: "The Ministerial Association of Little Rock, on April 15, 1907, composed of all the white schools in the city, met to day and adopted resolutions opposing the negregation bill passed by the House last week and now pending in the Senate. The resolution follows: "Whereas, This act proposes to deprive the colored race of about two-thirds of the maintenance of their public schools; and "Whereas, The public school system of America is at once both the safeguard of American institutions and the teacher and inspirer of American childhood; and, Whereas, The colored race most needs thisigious influence, both for their own good, as well as for the public safety; and. "Whereas, should even an emergency exist where white children are indecently supplied with school privileges that such an emergency could not be wisely met by this proposed law, for reasons in striking the exceptional case the law would reach beyond and work confusion and disaster at many places and. "Whereas, The Southern people are committed to the doctrine that you cannot elevate your race by degrading another; therefore, be it. "Resolved, first. That to our minds it would be a public column to emulate this bill in law thereby setting off colored race from the fullest privileges of public instruction, and at the same time putting our great State in an unfortunate attitude hard to explain beyond our borders. "Resolved, further. That barring the question of the constitutionality of the act, the bill would outrage the public son and would be divisive, generous people, and would be a proof of prepared to harm our State." "Resting, therefore, under the steadfast conviction that the bill is neither good wisdom nor good politics, and believing that education is so interwoven with a people's morals as to justify this good wisdom, part of the ministers, as therefore respond to it, should be the Hon Kie Oblath and the Hon James Hammett, to use all honorable means to defeat the segregation bill in the Senate." The petition is being circulated among the ministers of the city, and so far no poster has failed to attach his signature. The poster has above ringing publications and thunderstorms that courageous white ministerial association and other leading white papers and artistic citizens have upon the members of the Arkansas legislature: "The Latie Rock Down Gate! He the leading Democratic paper of the State gawks as follows. The Senate killed the segregation bill, even waiting to hear it in the real. The Senate surprises is that this measure should have ever gone through the house." Despite all the above legislation to oppress and crash the aspiration and progress of the Negroes of Arkansas, The United Tuxedo Press says, "The New York Times has published a Treasury last year for real and personal property tax $200,000 besides $20,000 poll tax, making a total of $10,000 paid to the State treasury by Negroes as taxes for the year 1906. According to the census bureau at Washington, D.C. the Negroes of Arkansas own $20,000,000 worth of property. This vast sum of property is in cash, in cash and in cash bank and saving accounts." Bishop J W Smith. Ohio Voter Aggrieved at Congressmen. From: The Columbus Congressman Longworth of the first, Harding of the third and Taylor of the twelfth congressional districts are certainly in bad with the colored voters. Their manifestos, in behalf of Secretary Taft's candidacy for the presidency in a election on their intelligence and immorality, is a well-known fact that the colored voters have nothing in common with Taft or his friends. Taft is the most likelied man in public office to day with the exception of President Roosevelt, with the colored and labor voters of the country. Labor organization throughout the country demands that Rob Roevelt be vengeance. Secretary Taft will fare no better should he be nominated for the office he now seeks. Secretary Taft is an enemy to the colored race and his public career will bear out this statement, but in the face of it all the above trio are working overtime to win the election. The colored voters have a grievance and will even up matters with them in the text campaign. Icec in Washington From the Indianapolis Star All quiet along the Potomac to-night.

From The American Baptist The recent decision of the Court of Appalachia affirming the constitutionality of the County Unit Law passed by the last Legislature of Kentucky is a deigned victory for the cause of temperance and will enable the advocates of reform movements to secure the suppression of the deed in the county may operate the state. Under this decision when the voters of the county vote in favor of the closing of the saloon then no city, town or precinct in the county may operate salons contrary to that vote. Under the old law the saloon has been wiped out of most of the counties by carrying precinct litter precursor but in some counties this is almost impossible and under the County Unit Law a majority of the voters of the county may adopt local option. The voters of the county may adopt a careful progress in Kentucky and its power for good is being felt more keenly than ever. Additional legislation is necessary to make the present laws more effective and in the selection of members of the legislature this fall this issue will no double play an important part. Same Sort of Blunder. From The Christian Recorder Greater contempt is seldom shown a chief executive that was exhibited by the labor union forces in their mammoth parade and meeting that took place last week in New York. The President was hissed whenever his name was mentioned, the chief reason being his condemnation of the criminals in the lead and alleged criminals as "undesirable citizens." To have arraved the labor forces in opposition to him by impetuous and unwarranted speech is of the same sort of blunder made by the President in branding the colored soldiers charged with "shooting up" Brownville as guilty of shackling an officer in response to evidence of their guilt, added. No great is the threatened outcome of the President's impulsive, and prejudicial statement about the labor leaders that he has already given the assurance that they shall have a fair trial. It is to be hoped that he will take a similar step in the case of the outraged militants and the wrong afflicted upon the million of citizens. Perhaps he will if they show signs of resentment as the organized labor of the country. This Company has as its principal object in Close.

Hundreds of the Best People in the World Walks of Life. Are Crowding to See Him, Play and Night. It is one of the strange and mysterious anomalies of nature that who does in a few, very few instances, in perhaps a hundred generations, produce a person that is so afflicted as to simply cause the whole world to look with nonishment. To hold the world out, and to do so, to find a future a future is a future, and perfect understanding of all of the occult forces of both, mind and matter are to such a person a revelation at birth. There is no rule for acquiring such a deeply mysterious knowledge. It is a common birthright. Think of a person who can close his eyes and your whole past, your present, and your life, and how long it has been and he can tell you of all you have done, what you are now doing and lift the curtail of futurity and tell you just what you are going to do. This is not all. Watching the inspiration of what is going on throughout the world, he is able to forgetly precisely the happening of some great national situation and wanting the investy of the form of his life. He has to be a well-known, born, but it is anything but a terrible climatic catastrophe. He does not seek this knowledge, for it is anything but pleasant to him to foreknow what is going to happen. It comes to him in a thousand and one ways. He feels it. It comes by presentments, by instinct, by impression, by inspiration, though all of the accuses of his experience and the nature of the world.

The South accustomed itself to denying this essential condition of democratic government during the days of slavery; and the presence of the Negro among us even now reconciles many of the old Southern teachers, especially, have recognized that the restoration of absolute freedom of speech, and of the press is the first step toward the emancipation of our section from the transmigration by the South. The opening of large halls to men who represent opposing sides of important questions, the fair and frank discussion in college classes of even the "forbidden subject" of possible true annaligation and the publicity of newspaper articles have been the forms of this work. E. Gardner Murphy of Alabama, the late Chancellor Hill of Georgia, Prof. Andrew Sloed of Florida, and Prof. John Spencer Bassett of North Carolina, the author of this summer school of Southerners. A little more than ten years ago public schools for all were not popular in the older Southern States, such, for example, as Virginia and the Carolinas. Some Baltimore, fresh from the German Universities, Edward E. Sheib by name, began in Louisiana an institution for better public schools, and for the training of registrars. He canassed the State county by county, and aroused an enthusiasm and zeal which spread to other States, and are long touchful the whole South. Masterly men like Dr. Alderman and men into permanent forms. The administration of the Peabody funds was all the while available, and everywhere used with such wisdom that it was not difficult to organize their forces and contributed to the new organisation in the fulness of time the so-called Orden movement. The colleges which had, as a rule, held aloof now mobilized their forces and contributed to the new organisation in the fulness of time the so-called Orden movement. The colleges which had, as a rule, held aloof now mobilized their forces and contributed to the new organisation in the fulness of time the so-called Orden movement. The colleges which had, as a rule, held aloof now mobilized their forces and contributed to the necessary funds, and Southern schools and colleges have been put on a section of our common country faces the future with confidence. *Universal education is now popular; compulsory school laws no longer produce bishops nightly. Thus a second barrier to our progress has been broken down. great democratic churches, the Methodist and the Baptist, have felt the force of these new teachings. Religious papers have been written outworn by heresy hunting and is no longer a popular occupation of men of the most liberal views on matters of creed now occupy the first pulpit of the South; witness the John K. White of Atlanta, GA. At the last general meeting of the Southern Methodist church in Birmingham the liberal movement within this powerful organization took form. A committee was appointed after a meeting of the church to the belief of the church in such a way as to bring its dogmas into harmony with the best thought of the age. The more conservative churches, the Episcopal and the Presbyterian, though taking no public stand, are not profoundly responsive to the modern spirit. But while these strongholds of retrogression have been taken, others have been erected which cover just as dangerous and even more insidious attacks upon individuals and forty years old. South has welcomed the incoming capitalist. Realizing what a power she exerted on national affairs when four million slaves were but concentrated wealth, the South has since 1850 been capital from the East and from Europe. Monopolies of many kinds have been freely voted by unsuspecting legislatures. The result is a newer and milder form of slavery. The beneficiaries of many concessionals wormed their way into the community, two great political parties, have found places on college boards of control, and now threaten both legislator and teacher who speak the truth about their doings. In Virginia the names of four railway companies have been used to represent the executive committee of the Democratic party; in North Carolina the American Tobacco Company was able to name the delegates to the last Republican National Convention; and in order to break the hold of J. P. Morgan on Georgia the radical wing of the Democratic party to appeal to appeal again to the ever-aggressive race hatred. A college president of good standing recently said, "Well, people may say what they choose about the encroachments of corporations. I, for one, shall not discuss the subject with which the writer is acquainted, possibly any interest whatsoever is manifested in election contests, one professor said outright that he did not agree with the jury in power but it was not safe for him to call the Southern States. Between the Botone and the Mississippi, a chair of political science; and the interest in sound instruction on political subjects is so weak that there is no question anywhere. And instead of encouraging departures along these lines the so-called Order influence indirectly discourages it. No one of the colleges that has profited by this new movement not one whose office is to encourage freedom of speech on economic subjects. At excellent institution whose faculty lays especial emphasis on the utmost freedom of opinion on the race question has never said a word about conduct of certain great corporations operating under its very nose. The editor of a particularly able Southern magazine recently refused to publish an article from one of its regular contributors: the rejected manuscript was an arranger of present industrial abuse in the South. The General Educational Board of New York and the subsidiary Southern Education Board proclaim the need for speech, but none of their members, with the notable exceptions of Alphonso Slover and George F. Peabody, and the two auxiliary boards in the South and North, to be instructed by Rochefeller. wage is steady warfare against highwage and deeply entrenched tradition. These are Southern conditions; in callousness, they mean to imply that Norwegian citizens are freer from the blighting influence of special interethnic liaison. *R* would seem that we have no such thing as academic liaison, and we would see why they openly assert that such is the case. But in the old South, where such remarkable changes are taking place and where complete freedom of discussion is impossible, the extraordinary difficulties, it does seem that all our forces making for progress might be united in the great cause.

JERSEY CITY, May 13th. On Sunday night, the 5th instant, the Pullman Car Porters' and Railway Employees' Beneficial Association held its ninth anniversary meeting. The association presented a very appropriate sermon, impressing you all the importance of the relationship born by railway employees to the transportation interests of the country in general and the traveling public in particular. This organization has been working much work of that nature among its members, binding them together until it is almost considered in the light of a fraternal body. During its existence it has disbursed something like five thousand dollars in the form of a creditable showing, indeed, for men bound only by moral obligations. In my last letter to Turt Agr, published in the issue of May 9th, bad penmanship caused the following typographical error: "Afro-American Women's Industrial Club. Its objects are primarily the improvement of the individual, secondly of the home, which means the eventual improvement of the family, and thirdly, centrating their efforts toward the establishment of an industrial home-for girls. Quoting the editorial of the Paterson Call, relative to the conference, the word 'home' appeared instead of intellectability. Very recently Rev. Mr. Jones, well known throughout the East as a successful evangelist, preached at the Salem Baptist church. Brother Jones is familiar with his ability to successfully foretell coming events, whose shadows somehow seem to be generately cast before his vision. Those who have followed his instructions have never failed to uphold his reputation and was most noticeable in the Connaught deluge at Johnstown in 1889. His prognostications are said to have been so annoying as to cause his brothers to leave and away, saying blood would be shed. Soon his sermon here Mr. Jones remarked that he heard there was to be a ball at some ball the following night; upon learning he was correctly informed the Prophet would be shot. Soon, saying blood will go there, but will be brought away in an ambulance. The ball referred to was the entertainment given by King Solomon's the local church ledger at Johnstown. He was on a trip to England. All went well until early Friday morning when a commotion was heard on the stairs: a little later a policeman found a young man laying on the sidewalk in front of the church, raising an razor that he could not speak. After summoning an ambulance and sending the victim to the city hospital the officer found the cutting resulted from an argument in the hall. Once again he was another to his long list of predictions.

From all over this country there will be forwent, earnest, deep and grateful "God bless Miss Anna T. Jeanne," from the hearts of Negro men, women and children for her noble gift to the cause of the education of Negro children. Her aid is actually needed in a time when she is actually needed for Negro women schools in the South. In many of the States, notably South Carolina, the rural schools for Negroes are little more than a tatter. The length of the term average about three months and the teachers are not very competent and faithful teachers are difficult to obtain. These now in authority in the Southern State governments no longer regard the education of all the citizens as being the primary aim of the State government, and the respect appears to believe that Negro education is a duty, separate and apart from the State's duty to its citizens and that the only means of education is instruction and instruction with respect to the Negro in the matter of education, is the application of the money which he himself pays in taxes for school and purposes to the education of the Negro. To accomplish this purpose he must separate his position without any distinction and assure data for each separation the Negro bears and many thousand dollars so aid him for education more than the schools set up for his children. Even were all that was paid by Negroes given to them it would still be problematic, and we have earlier far less than the amount of money the Negro is to the establishment of a land that will help to make it possible for Negro children to secure it, least an elementary education. Principal Francis of Hampton will have the counsel of the Trustee Royal and we promise and hope, superviving power in connection throughthought. They know the need for the Negro to be well applied.

PHILADELPHIA, May 13—The 123d annual convention of the Protestant Episcopal church in the diocese of Pennsylvania, convened last week in the Church of St. Luke and the Epiphany. The greatest question that came up before this august body was the election of Afro-American bishops. What was considered noteworthy was that the champions of the cause of the elevation of an Afro-American to the episcopate were Southern men, the ones who convened for this precedent was the Rev. Henry L. Phillips, an Afro-American priest who has been rector of the Church of the Crucifixion for about 33 years, and as he completed his appeal the convention burst into a great appliance that fairly shook the building. When the question was presented, the congregation up to the dawn, upon which sat Bishop Whittaker. If there were any negative votes we never heard them. Dr. Carl E. Grammer read the report of the committee appointed a year ago to make inquiry into the matter. Bishop Whittaker was the chairman of this committee and was gathering evidence were Bishop Condijor Mackay-Smith, J. Thompson Cole, Ier. Henry L. Phillips, W. W. Frazier, George Wharton Pepper, Major Moses Veale, N. Duboile Miller and John E. Baird. The report emphasized the fact that the election of a missionary bishop would lessen the tension thereafter. The report, that to unpliff a race it must be trusted; that the question cannot be treated with diocesan resources, that is one for the whole church, and that the Southern bishops ask for such an Episcopal office. This was read by Dr. Grammer, chairman of the committee, in conclusion of the report, the committee convention by moving the adoption of the following resolutions as the summary of its conclusions: Resolved. First. That a copy of this report be sent to the joint commission appointed by the general convention of 1904 on the memorial of church workers among colored people, as the expression of the mind of the deceases of Pennsylvania in this chapter. Second. That the diocese of Pennsylvania memorialize the general convention so to amend the constitution and canons that missionary bishops may be consecrated to have jurisdiction over specified races, and lays before it the following amendments as legislation that would effect the kind of organization of advancing the interests of our church among the colored people. George Wharton Pepper disentitled from the report, as he was afraid, he said, that it would introduce schism into the church. This feeling seemed to be shared further and the sentiment was voiced by Francis Lewis, who said that the question was of such moment that he wanted more time. Accordingly he offered a subservient rejection that the report of the committee should be presented to the general convention as the findings of that body and not an expression of the discus- Two colored boys, sons of tribal chiefs in Equatorial Africa, were passengers on the American liner Westernland, which arrived in port on Monday from Liverpool. They were in charge of Henry Phipps, the ship's captain, who has spent twelve years in the dark continent. The boys attracted a great deal of attention among the other passengers, be branded on the forehead with a crown, a mark indicative of their mark at home. This is in Southern Liberia, near Cura Palmas, only a few days north of the Equator. They are boarded under the simaples of the cut off when he was struck on the head with a bale of hay. Thursday, was performed at the Pennyvania Hospital the same evening. Ellis was at work load and the nurse was with him and his teeth were locked shut upon the tip of his tongue. When he was taken to the hospital it was hanging by a small strip of membrane. Holding the almost perforated portion of the tongue place the finger, flaned it there with fourteen glitches. The Friends' Society has, for several years supported the work of the Day Nursery and Shelter for Desitute Women, at No. 716 Catherine Street. In this building a large charity is housed. Here any applicant from the street is given bed and food, that immediate aid which no often the deserted or bournese wife may afford, or the cause of the delays of "investigating committees." This help is given and then follows the investigation to see what other aid should be rendered. A bath, a wholesome meal, a clean bed, are freely here who asks, irrespective of color. Every corner is clean, fresh and wholesome. Sunlight and fresh air abound, for windows are many and large. The big building is built around a central courtyard and other modest ways. And in this same building four rooms are set aside for Afro-American children which are kept up by an endowment fund left by Rebecca White, a Friend. Here they have Afro-American instructors, and school is held daily. In the kitchen garden the little ones learn housekeeping; in the kindergarten they are taught mod; cling among the other work; and for pupils in the school they are taught in which graded classes meet. Two evenings of each week a cobbling class is held, teaching the boy how to patch and mend and make shoes. This department has its special rooms for baths also. The next venture to be fostered by a Friend will be a lying-in-hospital for Afro-American women, for the benefit of our nurses. J. H. GRAY. DR. WASHINGTON AND THE JEANES GIFT FOR SCHOOLS. Mr. Hamlet Seeka Information About It To the Edition of Tom New York, Auck. To the editor of THE NEW YORK AUCTION, The editorial on October 11, 1982, the Rural South in your last issue was a very good one. But it contained an assertion which surely stands in need of some proof. You said that "the money was secured largely through the efforts of Dr. Booker T. Washington," then, using this as a basis, you proceeded to erect an imposing structure of praise to Mr. Washington. We have seen printed copies of this bequest, but there is no evidence in it that anyone solicited or "obtained" this gift, Miss Jeannes made the donation of her own free will and put the disposal of the money in the hands of the presidents of the two largest schools for colored people. That seems to be all. But it isn't that I believe the statement quoted above is unprobable. That is not the reason for my writing here. I am not sure why it is seen the proof of it. Surely if it is true, it is susceptible of proof. And there are many others who will be glad to see this proof. So you will be adding to your own already great prestige and to our fund of information if you will furnish the proof editorially or otherwise when you publish this letter. Yours respectfully. New York, May 4. H. H. HAMLET. SOUTHERN EDUCATIONAL BOARD. Its Methods in Dealing with the School Work. From The Southern Reporter. The above clipped from THE NEW YORK Age puts many to thinking. As a Southern Negro engaged in the education of the race we would like to ask a few questions or for Norman K. that the Southern Negro educator have all along been left out of the meetings of the Conference for Southern Education? Surely, it cannot be assigned as a reason for our exclusion that the Southern whites would object to our presence. The better class of white people in the South do not object to educated and worthy colored men visiting their educational and religious gatherings, and to the story of the struggles and victories of the race and making known their educational needs. The intelligent Negro representative would have been welcomed even by the nineteenth Southerners of the recent Conference held in North Carolina had the management shown a disposition to give the Negro a chance. Since Negro representation and education of the Pinehurst meeting were realised, the Education Board inquire if that is to be taken as the complete elimination of the Negro from the benefits of the General Education Board. Is the poor Negro, in whose behalf the funds of the Board were largely contributed, finally and completely out of it? Is it the plan of this Board to extend little or no aid to Negro Schools common or academic in the South and to educate and elevate the Negro Board to educate and elevate the Negro Board to South by educating and elevating the whites? In view of the hopeless condition which now confronts us it is hoped that some one will answer our nests and satisfy us. From The Colorado Springs Enterprise. For many years it has been the custom of the Methodist Episcopal church, as well as the church, to discipline to make no purchase of property and no improvement invoking a large expenditure of money, without at least having half of the purchase money in hand for such purposes. This is a most wise custom, and it has acted as a check to those, whether minister or layman, who would plunge the people into a mountain of debt which they had afford to pay. The time has afforded a halt must be called upon any proposition to purchase property, without half the cash being secured in advance. Our people cannot, in their present condition, afford to pay exorbitant interest upon a load of debt which may keep them financial slaves for years. If people buy with half the money in hand the result is (1) They only pay one-half the interest. (2) They have a sufficient equity in the property as to be willing to pay for it. (3) They can get the best bargain at the cheapest price, and at the lowest rate of interest. Evolution of the Racc Voter. From The Rockland (Ore.) Advocate. It must not be forgotten by the candidates who are nominated to day in the primaries that the victory is by no means prophetic of like results in the general election. Every man must be reached and voted for or against. Much, of course, depends on the colored vote, which is no longer a fixed quantity. It must be reckoned with not in any gone days, when it was led, bought, or driven to the polls by constituted leaders for the colored voter now reads and does much of his own thinking, and is growing more independent, and is prepared to stand by the man or party that stands by him. This is as it should be. If the Republican party is to hold them, it must lengthen its cords and treat them as citizens should be treated. Eough.

From The New York Sun. CINCINNATI, May 8.—To-day's developments seem to indicate that Secretary Taft will receive the unanimous endorsement of Ohio Republicans for President. This endorsement will be backed by Senators Foraker andick, George B. Cox and his lieutenants, Walter Brown, chairman of the State Republican Central Committee, and all the other lesser Republican leaders who have looked to the Foraker-Dick-Cox organization for direction and inspiration. It is the purpose of most of these leaders to include an indorsement of Foraker for another term in the Senate and of Governor A. L. Harris for another term. How the original Taft boosters will take this second clause of the proposal is not entirely apparent. There have been murmurings already that the Foraker-Dick Cox people already are the street, and that Foraker and Harris must take their changes. State Chairman Brown of Toledo, tonight called a meeting of the full State Committee, the chairmen of the County Committees, the Republican members of Congress and other leaders, to be held at Columbus May 15. At this meeting Taft will be indorseed. Foraker and Harris hope to be. George B. Cox was the first to speak. There had been rumors from Washington and Columbia that Mr. Harris was looking to an agreement between the Taft and Foraker forces. Mr. Cox was persistently reported as the one conducting these negotiations. "As far as I am concerned," he said, "there is absolutely nothing to this talk. I know of no such deal and would not take part in any such negotiations. I have retired from active participation in politics and I am absolutely re-contacted to advise with friends." On being pressed for his views on the Ohio situation he slowly said: "I'll give you my views—my personal views as an individual and a private citizen—and then I want to be left alone. "In my judgment the time has come for the good of the Republican party that something should be done. We are on the eve of next fall's election. Nothing will happen. We will party party. If you will recall, two years ago we had factional differences in the party and our ticket went down in defeat. This, I hope, will not occur again. "Our differences should be settled within the party and we should go forward as one man, which will mean victory all along the line. Ohio has a great chance we will be great men the gaud and have great men now. We should take care of them. The nomination of good clean men for the municipal offices means their election, and party success next fall will be the foundation for next year's work. "I would advise all my Republican friends in Ohio to take the matter into their hands and adjust them with our interference by individuals or factions. It is my best judgment that this would bring both harmony and victory. "We must not forget that we must carry the Legislature next year to elect a United States Senator and get much needed legislation and must elect Governors and other State officers. I believe, in all Republicans to put their shoulders to the wheel in their several neighborhoods and see to it that none but true Republicans represent them. Our watchword should be 'Success for the Republican party' and to achieve this we should support Hon. W. H Taft for President, Hon. J. R Foraker for United States Senator and Hon. A. L. Harris for Governor. What about your personal differences with Secretary Taft?" "I know of no personal difference. There may have been some political differences, but they are things of the past and will not be permitted to stand in the way of the party's success. I would repeat, Republicans, let your watchword be 'Harmony and success.' My friends, I will be for Taft for President, Foraker for Senator and Harris for Governor." After Mr. Cox had given out his interview a call on Senator Foraker brought forth this statement: "I have just read what Mr. Cox says. I understand him correctly, he makes a specific recommendation addressed to the Republicans of Ohio as to what their action shall be in the convention of next year. I am not sure it calls for any response from me, but massasu as you seem to think it does, I will repeat that I do not want any political honors at the hands of the Republicans of Ohio except with their hearty endorsement. Therefore, if what Mr. Cox suggests and recommends should meet with their approval in one will support Secretary Taft. Editor Charles P. Taft, brother of Secretary Taft and the Secretary's political manager in chief, when asked the evening for his views on the developments of the day said: "Mr. Cox has taken a broad view of the matter. He evidently is imbued with the ambition to add another name to the list of candidates. His stand is broad and unselfish. We are satisfied with the condition of things." The seemingly sharp and quick developments of today are the result of course of careful, calm deliberation extending over many hours, if not days. The visits here several days ago of Chairman Brown of the State Control Committee, Brown of the State Control Committee, Monday of September 4th were of course, moves attending the solution of the most difficult and perplexing political problem Ohio has had in years. The much discussed question of speedy primaries has been settled to the satisfaction of all concerned. The Somotori question that was made a form of the rumple will now be settled probably without serious strife. Porturo, Ohio, May 8. In a statement issued to night announcing a call for a meeting, Walter Brown, chairman of the State Control Committee, comes out flat-footed for Taft. He has set Wednesday morning May 14th for a meeting to be held at the Buckeye Republican Club in Columbus. Besides the State Central Committee, the meeting is to be graced by the presence of the State Committee members, the chairmen of the various county executive committees, and the Republican members of Congress. The conference will be for the purpose of arriving at a definite conclusion so that the decision may be heard in record to the choice of the Ohio Republican the city for President and that matters may be of Pr. adjusted that harmony may be no Nationa. the position payd how the harmony end was and what his personal MAIL OR PHONE ORDERS RECEIVE PROMPT ATTENTION CHAS.

Regular Dinner, 25 cts may 9.30m views on the matter were Mr. Brown decided the following statement as explanatory of all the mystery that has surmounted his recent movements: "While various party leaders were urging the wisdom of a primary election to be conducted by the State Central Committee, a member of that committee who might be required to assist in formulating the rules governing such a primary, selecting the judges and clerks of election, fixing the polling places, deciding contests and canvassing the returns, in arranging himself on either side. "Now that such a primary has been definitely abandoned I am very glad to cut an old aversion to the State Convention. Since the State Convention in 1905, over which Secretary Taft presided as chairman, I have believed him to be the logical choice of the Republicans of Ohio for the Presidency in 1908, and I heartily favor the movement to secure for him an unequivocal endorsement at this time.
