VOL. XX. No. 26 And More Knowledge of the Science of the Fields and More Attract- Rural Life Needed. LANGING, Mich., May 31.—President Roosevelt was the guest of the city today at the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Michigan State Agricultural College. He made the address at the exercises this afternoon. He said in part: The fiftieth anniversary of the founding of this college is an event of national significance, for Michigan was the first state in the Union to found this the first agricultural college in America. Our school system has, hitherto been well nigh wholly lacking on the side of industrial training, of the training which fits a man for the shop and the farm. This question is vital to our future program, and public attention should be brought upon it. Surely it is entirely in accord with the philosophy of our desperate life that we should furnish the highest average industrial training for the ordinary skilled workman. We must be a nation of speaking of the dignity of labor, meaning surely manual labor. Personally, I don't think that we begin to understand what a high place manual labor should take; and it never can take this high place until it offers scope for the best type of man. These is but one person whose welfare is an vital to the welfare of the whole country, and does manual labor; and that is the tiller of the soil—the farmer. If there is one lesson taught by history it is that the permanent greatness of any State must inately depend more upon the character of the country population than upon anything else. East of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and the Potomac there has been a number of farmers, and the number of the farming population since the Civil War. In the States of this section there has been a growth of population—in some an enormous growth—but in others it has been a slow growth in cities, and especially in the larger cities. The chief offset to the various tendencies which have told against the farm has alberto come in the rise of the physical culture of the country, or to the rendering of country conditions more easy and pleasant. But these countercelling forces are in their infatuation. Not only the scientific work can ever take the place of business management on a farm. We ought all of us to teach ourselves as much as possible; but we can also also do more for our children by an easy form how to manage his farm even better than he now does by practice, under intelligent supervision, on his own soil in such a way that he will be well prepared for the best accomplished by the growth of what is broadly designated as agricultural science. This has been developed with remarkable rapidity during the last quarter of the century, the benefit to agriculture has been great. The farmer must prepare for using the knowledge that can be obtained through agricultural colleges by insisting upon a system of manual labor in the schools in which his children are taught. He must not lose his independence, his initiative, his rugged self-sufficiency; and yet he must learn to work the heartiest cooperation with his fellows. The cornerstones of our unexamined prosperity are, on the one hand, the production of raw, material, and its manufacture and distribution on the other, the representation of the people in the national Government principally by the departments of Agriculture and of Commerce and Labor. The production of raw material from the surface of the earth is the department of Agriculture has hitherto achieved such notable results. But great us its services have been in the past, the Department of Agriculture has a still larger field of usefulness ahead. It has been dealing with growing crops and men. Hitherto agricultural research, instruction and agitation have been directed almost exclusively toward the production of wealth from the soil. It is time to do better in this respect. Hitherto another great task before the national Department of Agriculture and the similar agencies of the various States must be to foster agriculture for its social results, or, in other words, to assist in bringing about the improvement of the soil for the sake of producing the best kind of men. The Government must recognize the far-reaching importance of the study and treatment of the problems of farm life alike, from the social and the economic standpoints of agriculture and of the agricultural should co-operate at every point. The farm grows the raw material for the food and clothing of all our citizens; it supports directly almost half of them, and nearly half the children of the United States. How can the life of the farm family be made less solitary, fuller of opportunities, freer from deskery, more comfortable, happier and more attractive? Such a change is possible by the farm being kept on the highest level, and where it is not already on that level, he so improvised, dignified and brightened as to awaken and keep alive the pride and loyalty of the farmer's property. How can the farmer himself? How can a compelling desire to live on the farm be grounded in the children that are born on the farm? All these questions are of vital importance, not only to the farmer, but to the nation and to the spirit of Agriculture must do its share in answering them. The drift toward the city is largely determined by the superior social opportunities to be enjoyed there, by the great life opportunities and by the great life undertaken from the point of view of nature, the problem of attractiveness as a problem of attractiveness as THE NEW YORK AGE. wheat and corn per scree; it will be a great achievement, but it is even more important to double the desirability, comfort and standing of the farmer's life. We must consider, then, not merely how to produce, but also how production affects the producer. In the past we have given but scant attention to the social side of farm life. We should study much more closely than has yet been done the social organisation of the country, and inquire whether its institutions are now really as useful to the farmer as they should be, or whether they should not be given a new direction and a new impulse, for no farmer's life should lie merely within the boundary of his farm. This study must be of the East and the West, the North and the North, for the west part of the East and the west part of the First in importance, of course. First in importance, of course, comes the effort to secure the mastery of production. Great strides toward this end have already been taken over the larger part of the United States; much remains to be done, but much has been done, and the debt of the Nation to the various agencies of agricultural improvement for so great an advance is not to be overstated. But we cannot halt here. The benefits of high social organisation include such advantages as ease of communication, better educational facilities, increased comfort of living, and those opportunities for social and intellectual life and intercourse, of spirit value to the people, and of the time to the way they are yet chiefly to be had in centers of population. All this must be brought within the reach of the farmers who live on the farms, of the men whose labor feeds and clothes the towns and cities. It is true that agriculture in the United States has reached a very high level of prosperity; but we cannot afford to disregard the signs which teach us that there are influences operating against the people of life upon a really sound basis. The overextensive and wasteful cultivation of pioneer days must stop and give place to a more economical system. Not only the physical but the ethical needs of the people of the country districts must be respected, but the must be social and intellectual advantages as well as a fair standard of physical comfort. There must be in the country, as in the town, a multiplication of movements for intellectual advancement and social betterment. We must try to raise the average or farm life, and we must try to develop a school that offer exceptional chances for the exceptional man. And, most important of all, I want to say a special word on behalf of the one who is too often the very hardest-worked librarian on the farm—the farmer's wife. In many cases, the farmer's wife end of home, should certainly begin there; and the man, whether he lives on a farm or in a town, who is anxious to see better social and economic conditions prevail should be exceedingly careful that they prevail first as records his own womankind. I have hearty sympathy with the movement to better the condition of the average tiller of the soil, of the average warmer soil, of the average pathy and applause for the movement which is to better the condition of their respective wives. There is plenty that is hard and rough and disagreeable in the necessary work of actual life, and that is hard and disagreeable in matter how tender and considerate the husband, the wife will have at least her full share of work and worry and anxiety; but if the man is worth his salt he will try to take as much as possible of the burden off the shoulders of his helpmate. The best crop is the crop of children: the best products of the farm are the men and women raised thereon; and the men and women raised thereon are the farming, necessary though they be, are no more necessary than the books which teach us our duty to our neighbor, and above all to the neighbor who is of our kind. You young men and women of the agricultural and industrial colleges and schools must have some time for light reading; and there is some light reading of course, that you do not read in a spirit of mere vacancy. You will learn the root principles of self-help and helpfulness toward others from "Mrs. Wiggs" and "Mr. Wiggs" of course, that you do not read in a spirit of mere vacancy. You will learn as much social and industrial doctrine from Octave Thanet's stories of farmers and wage-workers as stories of farmers and wage-workers as stories and I cordially assume the first chapter of "Aunt Jane of Kentucky" for use as a tract in all families where the men folks tend to selfish or thoughtless and I cordially assume the rights of their womankind. Do not misunderstand me. I have not the slightest sympathy with those hysterical and foolish captives who are shirkers of their duties. I have as shirkers a contempt for the woman who shirks her duty of bearing and roaring the children of her husband, and I have for the man who is an idler, who shirks his duty of earning a living for himself and for his household, or who is beaten toward his wife and children.

RACE FEELING IN PANAMA. MEXICO CITY, May 26. J. R. Morther, who arrived yesterday from the Isthmus of Panama, said that much face feeling of Panama was that that a serious clash was not improbable. He reported that several insignificant clashes had already occurred. The officers of the Panama Government officer, Aguilar, he declared, was more serious. AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION NEW YORK, THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1907 TWO RACES JOIN HANDS In the Voting, Being Convinced of Demoralizing Influence of the Drink Habit. HOT SPRING, Va., May 21. The most remarkable thing that your correspondent has noted recently is the wave of right-leaning men joining county. Hereforeo no one has thought of Bath county being dry. The saloon has been the workingman's chief resort, and the effort to quench his thirst has been made. But recently the good people have been moderately conscious of the menace constituted in the saloon evil. However, being not inclined to cause discontinuity to put an end to it; nevertheless, from subsequent events I infer that they had decided that it was an evil. But they did not decide that it should not exist. As the public conscience had become "wear and dry" from long-continued contact with the disciples of Bacchus, and although to see men reeling about the streets was a hardship, no one thought particul Thus almost imperceptibly the spirit of wine saturated the community; literally, it owed from every pore of its civic organism, and its noxious vapors rose from the mouth of the city. Surely, it accomplished its damnable work of wrecking home and health, and blasting forever the church of a future existence. Not satisfied with the enlaving of the adult it was beginning to extend its reach, it was beginning to ward the youth, the very life of the State. And already its subtle, fascinating, deceptive influence had drawn some unwary ones into its masthead of woe and despair. It was a community of their intelligence aroused the dormant, listless, lethargic conscience of the people. At once and simultaneously they understood the crimes which had grieved and saved the community; the mute appeal of their intelligence aroused the dormant, listless, lethargic conscience of the people, and on May 1 the good citizens, both white and black, of Allegheny and Bath counties, with one united harmonious effort, of their citizens, closed the doors of every saloon within a radius of one hundred miles. Miss Cherry B. White, a very amiable and lovable young lady of Stumptown, died last week. In recognition of the merit of The Act, your correspondent was honored with an invitation to explain the lesson by Superintendent Mr. J. R. Watkins, which he accepted. The Willing Workers' society, Mrs. P. R. Bush, president, gave a blazard for the benefit of Smith's Chapel Friday evening, which was an entire success. The Royal Poinciana Quartette has ended its engagement at the Homestead Hotel, and the leader, Mr. George Jones, Jr., has gone to New York city. Messrs. W. H. Taylor, F. C. Taylor and John Curry left for Washington last week. Miss Ida Rosson left for Lynchburg, Mr. John Dixon and Mr. G. C. Shorts left for Richmond. Messrs. J. R. and N. S. Bishop left for their homes in the North, Mr. C. Tate left for Stamton, where he will spend the summer. Edw. N. Evans NORFOLK HAS A SENSATION. Mix-up Over the Jamestown Exposition Amex. Notrok, June I. There is now a sensation in Norfolk, Mr. J. Henry Cromwell, who has been for seven years editor of The Lodger Journal and Guide, has resigned. Mr. Cromwell states that that editor, Mr. Cromwell, has felt true, but the real cause was that the topper at first was against the "Jim Crow Annex to the Exposition" and all other "Jim Crowsmits." From being strongly against the Jim Crow Annex, Mr. Cromwell was on the subject, and finally a conference was arranged with the management by Messrs. Calloway, Hilger, Jackson & Co., and a column was placed at their disposal, with Mr. R. W. Thompson as the monger of the effected about three weeks ago, and Mr Cromwell promptly blamed in his resignation last Saturday night. It is not known who will succeed Mr. Cromwell as editor, but rumor has the name of Mr. George L. Pryer of Norfolk, and New York in connection with the job. One of the most popular boarding houses in Norfolk is the Triggs House, 217 Cumberland street, near Hute street. The house is always full. It is in the center of everything in the town. The following are some of the boarders who have been with her for some years. Dr. R. J. Matthews, manager, M. R. J. Matthews, M. W. J. Stephenson, jeweler, Mr. W. J. Scott, clerk U. S. Navy Yard; Mr. H. M. Porkins, manager insurance company; Col. Beni R. Boulding, R. P. clerk and general manager, Mascot Supply, porter; and Prof. and Mrs. William O. Clayton. The Triggs House is generally known as the "Sing House" but on account of its prominence and popularity the house is visited and visiting babies find their way there. The house is now full to overflowing with a delegation of ladies from Washington, Cleveland and other points. The roof is now being raised on the Negro Build Building, Jamestown Exposition MAN. A. M. O. A. Celebration. The Young Men's Christian Association occupied attention at the Mount Olivet Baptist church last Sunday afternoon. The event was the celebration of the anniversary of the Rev. M. W. Gilbert, D. D. pastor of the church, presided. Other members of the committee of management were present and occupied seats upon the platform. Rev. Dr. C. F. Walker, of Surrey, also attended. Although not altogether well, had come all the way from his home by irrigation of the association to deliver the anniversary address. Mr. A. A. Hinston, basso, one of the members of the association, reminisced about the audience with his rendition that he was compelled to answer to an encore. The report of the Secretary showed the following interesting facts: Attendance for the year at Bible class, 773; at Sunday afternoon meetings, 7,688; at Literary society meetings, 346; at educational lectures, 2,119; at reception, 434; directed to lodging houses, 82; applications for employment, 606; applications for employment, 606; visits to building, 51,182. Visits for all purposes, 63,298. The event of the meeting was the address of Dr. Walker. When he rose to speak he received an ovation that man made even his heart rejoice. His voice was so powerful that the Sea. He was in his best humor, and spoke of many things that the Negro faced that tended to discourage him, and on the other hand many that encouraged him. Dr. Walker will leave for the South on may morning, and on the morning of November Samuel Jackson, D. D., L.D. of the Amity Theological School, will address the association. All are cordially invited. AFRO-AMERICAN LEAGUE OF OHIO BOLTS TAFT Resolutions Adopted by a Conference at Columbus. CLEVELAND, May 21.—The enclosed resolutions, as we as the Declaration of Independence and public opinion, time, were unanimously adopted at the May 15, Columbus, Ohio, conference of Republicans, which organised the Ohio Convention ordered given to the press on May 21. Whereas, the Hon. W. H. Taft, Secretary of War, is being announced as a probable candidate for the Republican nomination next year for the Presidency of the United States, and is being widely heralded, especially here in Ohio, as the one most eligible for that called honor and position, and Whereas, the Hon. W. H. Taft, in his speeches at Greensboro, N. C., and Tuskegee, Ala., in 1900, viewed without protest the deplorable discriminations against our people, the undisguised violation of the Constitution, in the matter of disfranchisement of colored citizens, at least condoning the same; and Whereas, the Hon. W. H. Taft, after the diaminal without honor of 117 innocent colored soldiers as a result of that alleged Brownsville riot, publicly branded them as criminals, though they had not been tried, and though the entire military machinery of the government had been unable to prove them guilty or justify their unmerited punishment, therefore be Resolved. That we, as law-abiding American citizen, loyal first to our families and race, next to our country and the Republican party do hereby once more declare our allegiance to the Hon. H. Taft as a Republican Presidential candidate, for his speeches condoning constitutional violations, notwithstanding the special plank in the Republican platform of 1904, indicate a lack of patriotism and nationality; and because his endowment of the dismissal without trial of 1804 Grave and meritorious soldiers, many of them grown great in the service of their country in the War, shows weakness and prejudice rather than that broad spirit of innuity, conservation and justice which should characterize all aspirant for the greatest honor of our party and Nation, call upon our bethen throughout this great State, particularly, and the country to join in our protest and warning to all Republican who support the Hon. Wm. H. Taft for anything at this time, and will support for the future of all loyal members of our race. (Signal) H. H. C. SMITH POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE. Is Baltimore an Object Lesson in This Matter? To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE, I read in the last week's issue of THE AGE an article on the result of the election held in Baltimore recently, which, in my opinion, is the most excellent, though not the most poor. This fact may be as much the truth as a joke. I am very well acquainted with quite a few of the independent minded Negro politicians of that city who know the political clockboard, those who, in the present, are the wrong, the more, as in other cities, in the�y. Boston, St. Louis and elsewhere. Why wouldn't they? Because the time is at hand when every person or party has to defend him or themselves. There has been a great debate between the white and the black, with the preaching to him the same old doctrine. For what cause is this? To prevent the outgrowth of his political independence? I have often heard the remark, "Change, of course, of the nation's own for the future." For the reason is the fact, of course, that if the news of Baltimore I think it is a good move in the interest of the Negro political independence. I hold that it is the right move which he can exercise independently, if it is his intention to resent the Brownville affair. It is his intention to resent the Black-billy he has been obliged to take and quick to forget. As we must use every prevention along these lines because we are to day men and not children. When a child is bad his mother spanks him, then he says he is a bad child. When he comes around and gives him an early turn, then his cry is all over. We will not be so bad by showing our political independence, but the same mother has spanked us all, and no candy will stop our eye. But I am with the party, my close friend, and the independent. NEW YORK, MAY 26, ERNEST V. SMITH TEXANS ON THE RAMPAGE. Sample of the Sentiment Prevalent at Brownsville. St. Louis, May 31. "M Squater J. B. Foraker ever visited Brownville he would be tarred and feathered," said L. R. Cowan, member of a party of citizens of that town, who was a long-time day for Washington to testify before the Senate committee of the Brownville raid. "It was outragous for Foraker to try to make out that we would shoot into our own houses, and kill our own citizens." An incident showing the feeling in Texas was told to by K. M. Wishart of the Gulf Coast Land and Investment Company of St. Louis, who was with the party all the way from Texas. The party was at night at midnight Wednesday" said Wishart. "The Negroporter knew the party was from Brownville, and when the conductor told him to make up the berths he refused. A big Texan, who was not a Texan in the smoke by me, and going to the Negro with a gun in his hand, remarked: 'Don't you think you had better make up those berths?' The porter thought he had "would have blown the coons' head off if he had refused." The Texan and, what's more, he begged it." Re-elected President of Jefferson Institute by the State Board of Regents. JEFFERSON CITY Me., June 1.—The unanimous re-election of Dr. B. P. Allen by the Board of Regents several months before, the annual meeting in June and for a period of two years, was unprecedented in the annals of the institution, and came as a well-married honor to the man who for a period of five years has stood at the head of the institution and has brought it to a standard of excellence that makes it second to none of the great schools of the country. This is commencement season throughout Missouri, and Dr. Allen is in great demand as a public speaker for commencement addresses, the presentation of diplomas, with Lincoln Institute at the head of the educational system for Negroes in Missouri; he thus comes to know the people of the state and provides and protects them intimately; and the accounts which he brings back on his return are very timely, interesting and instructive. From those accounts and those gleaned from the Negroes in Missouri and the Middle West, the Negro in Missouri and the Middle West, is prospering financially, educationally and otherwise, and perhaps to a greater extent than his brother in other sections. There are many conditions that this institution may be united geographically, the rich agricultural district, and the fact that Missouri with a separate school system comes near to giving equal facilities in education, in length of term, in quality of equipment, and in all those things that go to make up an educational system. The demand for well-prepared teachers was never so great, and nearly or quite half of the members of the present senior class has already been elected to schools in Missouri, Illinois and Kansas. The teachers have the refusal of two or three positions. Thus by the graduates who go out from the institution is education in the rural districts and smaller towns kept up to a certain high grade of excellence; schools will become the leaders of Local Institutions; teachers take personal pride in preparing their pupils to good work in the institution they are proud to call Alma Mater. "INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE: Judge Brawley Decides That It Con- flicts with the Constitution. FINE CLASS SENT OUT FROM AVERY Mayor Gothicle and Judge Terrel of Washington Speak Truitt us. May 29. "I have a strong desire to help any movement that morally and intellectually advocates usefulness in all lines," was the opening remark of the Avery College Trade School at the Avery College Trade School last night by Mayor Guthrie. More than 1,200 friends of the graduates of this institution for the training of young men in the army and women crowded the building, and the men were brought to Pitfalls, which was very brief, brought forth great applause. Continuing, Mayor Guthrie said, "Labor is dignified and honorable, and it should be encouraged to work in the country." I dignity in idleness. I believe that Mayor Guthrie we have one of the greatest institutions for the training of the colored race that exists in the country and it cannot be given to much encouragement. I believe that Mayor Guthrie turned out some of the most industrious people of this section of the country, and it is most gratifying to us all and reflects considerable credit upon Prof. Mahoney, the principal, to learn that no less than eight of these graduates are to go to sum up what they have throughout the country as instructors." The mayor after wishing each of the graduates success, concluded by appologizing to all to render all the aid in their power, to all to render the aid in their power, to Mayor Guthrie's address was necessary brief in order to allow him to catch a train for the East. One of the most interesting addresses on this section by a colored octoror was that of Robert Tertell, a judge of the district court at Washington, D. C. Judge Tertell, who is popular with the colored people of the N.Y. area, brought friends throughout western Pennsylvania. inspired the graduates and the big audience with patriotism, and after giving credit to the white people of the country for the aid they have rendered in the uprising, the government reviewed the program made by the colored man since the close of the Civil War. In part Judge Terrell said: "The public schools of the South have done much for the white, but infinitely more for the colored children, and as a consequence no race can furnish a better record than those born in the South. Yet race can show any more advancement than the Negro since the terrible conflict in the '00s. While we are still cursed with some of the cruel reliefs of barbarian, yet we must admit a veritable revocation of that belief. There are more than 50,000 pupils in the public schools of the South and millions have been spent for colored education. Since the emancipation the colored man has accumulated $889,000 in taxable property and is still after all $100,000 in taxes American. It is our plain duty to train the untrained and do it well." The exercises opened with an invocation by the Rev. J. W. Jefferys, and the benediction was pronounced by the Rev. J. W. Jefferys, and the presentation each of the 24 graduates with a diploma.

In his annual address to the diocesan convention of the Episcopal church in the chapel of St. Albans, Washington, May 15, Bishop Satterlee said: "The practical question remains to be considered, how shall the church begin this work? "The first step will be to increase very largely the numbers of colored clergy and colored catechists. "And here we might well learn from the Methodists. Though they came to America a century or two after our own birth, they are either the largest, or next to the largest, Christian denomination of America. They gained their adherents through their practical and effective organisation, and their clergy are the most important part of ministry itself by lay orders of 'local preachers' and 'class leaders', who were close to the people in sympathy and manner of living, and who gathered congregations of places for which regular pastors could neither be found nor maintained. "It was a matter of great surprise to me when I recently became acquainted with the details of this system - the care that is out for nothing in perfecting our organization, that is published in its organization, the qualifications required of these local preachers, the examinations through which they are required to pass once a year and the yearly reports in detail of the publications required to make to their superior. "I commend this subject to the consideration of the next convention, and recommend that a committee be appointed to consider the experience of forming an organization that will be capable of reporting to the next diocesan convention. But the church should not stop there. She should carefully consider the qualifications required in colored ministers and outgoing preachers and others in the work they have to do in ministering to the Negro race. "There is no part of the Union where the necessity for properly handling the race question is more pressing than right. We must be prepared to deal with the colored population of any city in the world. "Lastly we come to the crucial question of the appointment of Negro bishops. This question is not a question of this question, but the paramount question is not what is expedient, but what is right. "The foremost consideration seems to be the training of the colored population of American. As matters now stand, our church plainly has not their confidence. And this is shown most of all by the small number of colored men of the right stamp who order the ministries for body orders and for catechists." "We should look before we leap, and hearen patiently, prayerfully, to everything that every objector has to say, and to everything that another Cyministie movement; others will object that every bishop who has given his heart to this work among the colored people of his own diocese will cause to be a father and become a superior to the colored people of the extreme difficulty of finding among the colored people men who are personally fitted for the office of bishop in the church of the English Church in South Africa, where this very difficulty has been encountered; others will object that this brings two bishops with a divided authority into one diocese and creates an imbalance in the practice of the English Church; others will object that if such bishops for the colored race are made 'missionary bishops', sitting in the house of bishops, opps, but 'true bishops'; or, on the other hand, such bishops are made suffragans, the objection will be urged that this, is contrary to the idea which has been proposed, that we be two kinds of bishops, diocesan and suffragan, in the American church. "Personally I feel the force of many of these objections very strongly. But the church, must be faithful to her divine mission." Do You Want to be an Army Hand-master? WASHINGTON, D. C., June 1.

PRICE. 5 CENTS WONDERFUL PROGRESS Also at Livingstone College and Eulogizes Its Good Work and the Men Who Made It. WASHINGTON, May 31.—Last week we spoke of the quarter-centennial anniversary of the founding of Livingstone College by the late Prof. J. C. Price at Balluery, N. C. Now we speak of its commencement. Both were redletter events. The weather, clear, bracing, liferevealing, was ideal from start to finish. The sky gleamed with blue. The sun which each morning poured a pleasing flood of light upon the college and campus kissed them each evening with a "Good-night" and retired to its bed of crimson gold. This was the most successful commencement and the largest attended by people from all parts of the country in the history of this institution, which is constantly growing in influence and popularity, and the development of full-obed manhood and booow. The Charlotte (N. C.) Desly Observer, the leading Democratic paper of North Carolina, of May 21, 1807, called the model-colored institution. The auditorium, the library, the flags and the stage with palms, ferns and flowers. President W. H. Goler, members of the faculty, new graduates, bishops, general officers, ex-graduates and promiscuous students, sat on the platform, while the undergraduates sat in the front. The great throng of admiring friends, fond parents and fonder sweet-hearts filled every available space. The Loys, attired in blue and cape, and the students, in red and blue, sat in the large and one of the most beautiful compuses in the country and marched gracefully and impressively behind the college band, which struck up a thrilling air, to the auditorium, their entrance beckoned by the students in their claps. The college colors are black and light blue. The program, which consisted of vocal and instrumental music, the best ever rendered there in artistic style, because so full of the sweetest religious and classical music, the ready debaters, fine essayists and fluent listeners was listened to with intense interest throughout and liberally applauded. The special music by the college choir and orchestra was roundly applauded and orchestrated the encyclopedic sermon to the university students, who were "on Joseph," was ably preached by Rev. Dr. I. N. Rendall, who is 82 years old, and for 40 years was president of Lincoln University. His nephew, Rev. Dr. John Rendall, who last year at the seminary of the university professor, delivered a magnificent address on "Reminiscences of J. C. Price." As the capped and capped young men and sweet girl graduates, fluttering with nappiness and keen interest of his seminary, he enloquened and attentively of their delivery, being showered with applause, beautiful flowers and other presents, also receiving their crisp new sheepskin, many a poor mother who lives by the washstand, hard, drudgy work wept and rejoiced and said: "If I had only his or her chance I would make my mark in life." Bishop Walters, Dr. R. S. Rives and H. J. Callis in speeches presented the diplomas to the graduates, and extended them to the students, and for happiness, useful and successful lives in their day and generation. Prize medals were awarded to the successful contestants in oratory, debate, declamation, other torse on drama, and for experience in interpersonal interactions for scholarship and meritorious work received honorary degrees. The commencement was made doubly notable by the presence of His Excellency, Governor R. B. Glenn, of North Carolina, Pref. Booker T. Washington, Dr. W. P. Thirfield, president of Howard University; Prof. J. B. Dudley, president of and M. College of Greensboro; Dr. W. H. Weaver, Hon. J. C. Daney and others; Dr. Weaver delivered a graceful and scholarly address on "Education Necessary for Leadership." Dr. Thirfield, who is one of the most eloquent and polished orators of the country and a courageous defender of the rights of the Negro, delivered the annual address of the Unmankind Excellence on "Education and Manhood." He said the essays and orations he had heard at Livingstone College could not be excelled by the productions of the best colleges, white or colored, in the North. (Long and loud applause.) The excellency of the Governor in the audience was greeted with tremendous applause. After an introduction by President W. H. Goler, he said, in substance: "My friends, faculty and students, this is the first time I have visited you and Coleridgis," she said. "Coleridgis had not invited me before. I cannot to speak to you as colored people, but as citizens of North Carolina, who have been resting upon you as unseen, the whites." "The colored people of North Carolina in general have a misperception of my function as Governor. They think I am their enemy, but I am not. Only two of them have been Governor, and whenever I have been Governor, and whenever I have heard of lynchings, I have hastened to the scene to prevent it, because mob law is wrong. How could I help from being their friend? My father never sworn slaves in the South, and worked for him kindly. Colored boys were my plavantes. Some of them now grown are still on my plantation, and will be there until death takes them away. I would be the last man on earth to do the, colored people an injustice. I would be the last white people in the South who are of any account had black mistresses who pursued them. While a great many white men in the South were brutal to these slaves, as brutal as 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' narrates, there were thousands who were beaten to death in the South. We have to stay in the South are the better class of whites, and the worst class are those with whom you do not come in contact in employment and business. The Negroes have made wonderful progress in the hard forty-two years in the United States, one third live in the South. We cannot strike you without striking ourselves. Listen to your progress. There are 21,000 carpenters among you, 20,000 barber, 15,000 masons, 12,000 dreammakers, 10,000 engineers, 15,000 firemen, 5,000 doctors, 10,000 ministers, 500 inventors, 4,000,000 in grateful occupations. 77 per cent. of all the Negro farm, 740,500 are farmers, the Negroes own 21 per cent. of all the Negroes, 20 per cent. of all the Negroes are at work. These facts show that the Negro race is not lazy, as some of your enemies proclaim so loudly—from the homestep to the office, from the farm to the mother's, fathers and other leaders of the race to try in every way possible to get the trifling and worthless ones to work. You have no use nor time for loafers, vagabonds and criminals, but for industrious men and women who will work with hands, minds and souls to be something and help build churches, and of our common country. "The Negro race must go forward or backward. There is no standing still. Tell me the character of your young men and women to today and watch out further than you in the walks of life, and I will read the future of your race, will tell your destiny. If they are impure, dishonest, drunkards, gamblers, sowing of statutes, are bringing pain and disgrace upon their parents, breaking down homes and the relations between husband and wife, your future will be one of disgrace, shame, and suffering. They are taking care of themselves physically, morally and religious, obeying the laws of God and this country, their future will not only be bright, but secured, fixed, and will go forward and come to be compelled to say, "All hail!" "I know Dr. J. C. Price, the greatest orator that his race has produced. He was a Christian, an educator, stood for righteousness, an advocate of humanity and was respected by the best white and colored people of this country. In the great work that Dr. W. H. Goler is doing for this college, which, receives no National nor State funding, he has money made by the brown and muscle of black men and women of the great A. M. E. Zion denomination, Dr. Price's mantle has fallen upon worthy shoulders. God bless you in all, I came to see you come to me if you take me (Thunderous applause). Bishop G. W. Clinton, who is a gifted orator, made an exceptionally fine response to the Governor, after which the Governor with enthusiasm while playing "Bixie." That eminent and powerful Negro leader, Booker T. Washington, who received a degree from Livingstone College, said he was not in favor of the Negroes surrendering any right guaranteed to them by the Constitution of the naked Slave, that the Negroes made of theirs as the white men are of theirs, that he is proud he is a Negro, and if he could enter the spirit world and he given his power, he would make of him to make him a Negro again, made a grand speech full of thought, bright and sparkling wit and humor, relieved at times by touching stories that made clear as a sunbeam the truth he wished to convey and made the shot strike the bull-sye with a ringer. No wonder the people of both states were so enthusiastic speaker. After a felicious introduction by Dr. Goler and a Chinquapin salute by the students and audience of both states, Mr. Washington, in part, The Tuskegee Institute extends, most hearty congratulations and good wishes to Livingstone College on the occasion of the celebration of its twenty-fifth anniversary. These two institutions were founded at about the same time and after the fore practically of the same age. There is however another connection between Tuskegee Institute and Livingstone College, and the great Church which stands behind Livingstone, which makes Tuskegee feel very near. The African M. E. Zion Church, for Tuskegee Institute had its birth in a church of your denominations in 1881. Mr. Lewis Adams, one of the most primine members of your race and denomination, had begun to buy the foundation of the Tuskegee Institute before I went into Alabama, and it was in the church of which he was a member that Tuskegee Institute was born; and, I might add that during all the years of this life I never found a wiser counsellor in all the affairs of the institution—then I did in Mr. Adams. In 1881 the A. M. E. Zion church in Tuskegee is thrown open door to me, and the first of the first. I ever taught a students was in Zion church. For the first half I taught there; therefore, my debt of gratitude to your denomination for this favor has never been paid. I feel at home among you. "On an occasion like this, the name of a great man, J. C. Price, is in the minds and on the lips of every individual present. He was among my dearest friends, and home and home many times. He was a great orator. This institution owes much to the energy, forethought and race loyalty of such a man as Price. Livingstone also owes much to his successor, faithful to the Church, faithful to Livingstone and faithful to the race to which he belongs. The names of these two great men. Price and Goler, will live in this college as long as it exists. There is a host of others whom the church admires, and among them is your senior bishop, J. W. Hood, whose head and heart years are planned for this work. I take great pride in the growth of this college, for it is the contribution of the A. M. E. Zion determination to the education of the Poughkeepsie, N.J. Miss Linda Jones left for Alouisa Park, N.J., on the 2nd for the summer. Mr. and Mrs. Jones, H. Hardon entertained J.

C., June 3 — Plans are being made to enlarge and improve Howard University, so as to make it a great National center for the Afro-American race of college and university education; to make it in reality the greatest center for bringing each department fully up to date in equipment of every character. It has long been felt that Howard University, being in the city where the Negro race is represented larger than in the city where it is touched with the whole African race, and it ought to exert greater influence upon the Negro population of Washington than it does. It has long been felt that Howard University ought to have in its hands the live in the District of Columbia, that be as many as that in the College Department. The feeling has prevailed for some time that the University ought to be more connected with the local schools of the District, Columbia; that there should be closer connection between the high school manual training school, normal school and Howard University. There should be more connection between the school system to enter the University. to a number of reasons too numerous to mention. Howard University has not kept abreast with the growth that has taken abreast in this country in recent years. Howard University; to make it great and powerful in everything, not dropping out anything that is of value, but strengthening it in every department so as to make it the best university, name the great University for the prize. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees in the District of Columbia hold this week, Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee, Alabama, was elected as a member of the Board of Trustees, taken before Mr. Washington's election to find out whether he would accept, and it was found that he was in hearty sympathy with the plans to enlarge and the University along the lines mentioned. Another event of great importance has happened in Washington during the past few days, that is, the election of Rossie Conkling of Boston to Superintendent of Public Schools in charge of all the Afro-American schools in the city. In this election and promotion of Mr. Brause, there is an object lesson to the aspiring men and women of Washington, in that instead of beginning his career by going about the country cursing, crying, and trying to solve the race problem, he quietly went into the South, where at Tuskegee University he experienced, found our the real needs and conditions of the Negroes of the country, and experience in teaching and executive work well fitted him for the work which he was doing in the last few months. With his Tuskegee knowledge and experience, backed by his college course, he came to Washington and made a success as Supervising Primate of the Tuskegee University being prominent in hysterical indignation meetings, cursing and faving, but he is doing good work in Washington, showing what an individual can do if he goes at it in the right way. We advise him to follow his example. After many years of experience, many of our settled men have come to the company by doing their own work well. While others have been finding fault with others, Mr. Hess has, lightly mistrusted, Mr. Hess has, happily mistrusted, and has left his competitors in the rear. He has set an example, that should be followed by educated men and women of college age. THE WOMAN'S LOYAL UNION Interesting Meeting Held in New Hedford—Public Meeting Addressed by Mrs. Wiley.

Holly Huronus, Mimi, June 4—A meeting of great importance and one bringing together a large number of Afro-Americans from all over the North was held this week, known as the Educational Methodist Episcopal church. The mass meeting was held by the Mississippi and North Mississippi Conferences, in order primarily to raise funds to complete the news boys dormitory at the Mississippi material College, an institution located here and fostered by the C. M. E. church. It is a singular fact, that this institution is really two years old, although the project has been worked up about five years ago. It is the project that purchases the land and the erection of the buildings, less than $1,000 of this amount was contributed by white people. It is an example of pure racial enterprise, the best and most complete example on the earth, and it has been built up in race. Of all the schools for either race, built up in a short period to any degree of excellence, none have accomplished such results except through large donations. For Afro-Americans have done so without large contributions from white people, but this $50,000 practically every cent of which came from Afro-Americans, was contributed by the cotton planters, the emigrants and the working people of the race. Such an accomplishment is short of a miracle. Such an accomplishment means a great deal of sacrifice, but with worse salaries in the public schools of this country average $1800 per month) and with the State Normal School long in existence for Mro-Americans and located here, in the public schools of the city of necessity compelled to do something. Just such opportunities exist throughout the South. The people are ready to take hold of similar movements. The Mosses have made out of the situation in Mississippi except for the unparalleled leadership of Bishop Ellius Cottur, perhaps one of the best-known and hardest worked out of the situation in Mississippi on the campus the best, most unique and most complete school building in the South, a building which was erected at a cost of $30000 every cent of which was used for the construction, and every cent of which came from the hard earned pennies of black people. There is now in course of erection another building, hardly as nicely finished, in the public schools which will serve for the boys' dormitory. Men of prominence in nearly every conference in the connection were on program at the mass meeting, among whom were R. N. C. Cleaves, South Carolina University; R. J. H. Beasley, Illinois Conference; Rev. T. J. Mepkins, West Kentucky Conference; Rev. L. M. Bell, Arkansas Conference; Rev. A. R. Calhoun, Little Rock Conference; L. W. Moore, Indian Mission Conference; G. C. Crawford, Kentucky Conference; R. D. Carter, D.D. Georgian Conference; Rev. G. F. Welch, North Alabama Conference; M. F. Jamison, D.D.

Mills, Alabama Conference; J. C. Straunton, North Carolina Conference; J. Inter, Indiana Conference; J. O. and others from the Mississippi Conference; John W. Gilbert, Commissioner of Education; Bishop R. S. Williams, and Bishop Charles B. Galloway, Dr. William Lapland, and Dr. J. D. Hummond, Secretary of Education, Methodist Episcopal church, South In connection with the mass meeting the second annual commencement exercises of the institution were held, the commencement sermon by L.

Bell, of the Arkansas Conference, a paper on "Our Educational Resources. Another practical and time address was delivered by Rev. G. W. Mills, of the Alabama Conference read a strong and powerful paper. Representatives of the Methodist Episcopal church. South, in the persons of Dr. Hammond, the pastor of church at Jackson, Miss., and Dr. Hammond, Secretary of Education, Nashville, took prominent parts on the program. Dr. Laprape brought up from his hometown in Jackson, Miss., while Dr. Hammond, on behalf of the M.E. Church, South, promised substantial aid from that church in the future. It is known fact that the M.E. Church, raised $10,000 a year to be devoted to education, $20,000 for the education of Afro-Americans in the South, and $15,000 each for whites in the South and on the Pacific The work done by the people of this State in erecting this plant is due in a large measure to the leadership of Bishop Cornell, but he is entirely a two modest man. He is not a man of great credit to himself. He feels rightly that the humbles; minister in the diocese and every member who has contributed by means, influence or prayer is entitled to some credit. But greater still must be demanded for the hard work done by the Presiding Elders of each district. More than $80,000 was raised by the two Mississippi Conferences at their fall sittings, and in this special effort more than three thousand dollars, more than $100,000, of the hard Elders was contributed towards the completion of this dermitory. The amounts contributed by each district follow; Houston District, L. B. Woods, $152,000; Tupelo District, R. H. Woods, $141,000; Tulare District, T. W. Murray, $25,475; Carkside District, J. L.

Thirty-three years ago the writer entered Howard_University, at Washington, coming fresh from Florida, where his advantages of education had been of the meagerest character. He didn't know anything of book information, but he was wise for his years, because he had come in contact as a page boy in the Florida Senate with the men of the Reconstruction period, some of whom had fought nibly in the war for the Union and sought to do what they could to build up the waste places of the State of their adoption. Some of them were wise and good men, and many of them sleep in the bosom of Florida, having been shot to death by that chivalry which believes that midnight assassination and arson and mayhem are legitimate weapons in a democracy to overcome a political opponent. At the time the writer, entered Howard University General Oliver Otis Howard had just given up the conduct of the school and John Mercer Langton, one of the most lovable, cultured and courteous Afro-Americans who ever lived, was acting president of the school. Professor James Monroe Gregory was dean of the preparatory department, in which the writer tackled Harkness' Latin grammar and Loomis' first principles of algebra, neither of which he ever understood and does not understand now. What boots it, when you think you know it all, as the writer at that time did? Last week, on Friday, the writer spoke at the manual training school, at Bordentown, N. J., of which Prof. Gregory is principal, but the star speaker of the graduating exercises was General Howard. The grand old warrior and unseafish philanthropist, who has spent this life in helping to save the Union and in building up the opportunities of the weak, when it came his turn to speak, was so overcome with emotion that he could hardly proceed. What he saw and heard at the school filled him with joy. He had seen what he had hoped when he planted, as chief of the Bureau of Freedmen and Abandoned Lands, schools all over the South, which are thriving to-day, and in conversation with the writer he had recalled the name of bright, students at Howard thirty-three years ago—called them by name—the Otheys, Charles and Henry; Wiley Lane, Reuben S. Smith, now dead, and T. McCants Stewart, R. R. Wright, whose son was present at the school, and whom the writer had pleasure in presenting to the General, and others, who have done or are doing a good work and justifying the hope and the faith of the Christian soldier when he patted them on the head and lent them a helping hand thirty odd years ago. And what a memory General Howard has! He talked of the long ago at Howard University as if it were but yesterday. And he was greatly pleased and gratified when the writer, regretting the many misfit presidents Howard University has had, expressed the belief that President Thirkield was a great Christian gentleman and scholar who would place the university in the high position which it should occupy among the institutions of like sort in the country. And how little the Afro-American people know of General Howard and the splendid groundwork he laid for the education of the people of the South! No other man has done as much as he has done, and no man gets less credit. But he does not mind that. He did what he believed to be good, and in seeking to build an institution for the mountain whites of Tennessee at this time he is continuing to do what he considers to be good. The time will come when the Afro-Americans will proclaim Oliver Otis Howard as one of their first and greatest benefactors. They will not need to build him a monument, because he has built many himself in the good deeds which run through all the actions of his life and make it beautiful and abiding in the hearts of the people and the history of the Republic Dangers of State Socialism. The theory of the ownership and operation of public service corporations has got into the politics of the country in such a way as to command the considerate thought of all those who believe that the republican form of government prescribed by the Federal Constitution is the best that has been devised by the wisdom of mankind, and under which this Republic has grown in a century from an infant to an adult in the councils of the Powers of the world. It is always hazardous to tamper with a certainty in government, or anything else, for an uncertainty. State socialism is no new thing, but now where that it has been tried has it proved a howling success. The proper function of a government is to regulate by wise legislation, in the interest of uniform fairness, the public service corporations, such as derive their fran- obtain from the State, rather than to own, control or operate such. Mr. Bryan, in his Madison Square address, at New York, August 26, 1900, had a glimmering of this when he qualified his theory of government ownership of the railroads as follows: Centralisation is a danger that cannot be brushed aside. The greatest danger of a republic in the consolidation of all power at the capital remote from the people, and because I believe that the ownership of all the railroads by the Federal Government would no centralise power and to virtually eliminate lines of transport. I favour the Federal ownership of all railroads. My observations in other lands have convinced me that State ownership of local lines is entirely feasible. If government ownership was at all feasible there should be no division of it between the Federal Government and the States, as such division would inevitably produce friction and confusion; but the theory is impossible, because it is at variance with the genius of republican government. State Socialism in firm foot would continue only so long as no strong man came along who wished to usurp the powers of the government to himself, making himself a Diaz or Castro on a larger field. In an address at Indianapolis, May 30, 1907, President Roosevelt had the following to say on the same subject: Today I wish to say a word to you about the first and most important, feature of this task, the control of common carriers doing an interstate business; a control absolutely rested in the Nation, while in so far as the common carriers also transport the math it is in my opinion, probable to be the most important and interstate it is to the same extent subject to Federal control under that clause of the Constitution granting to the National Government power to establish post-roads, and therefore, by necessary implication, power to take all action necessary in order to keep them at the highest point of efficiency... Government control, which President Roosevelt appears to favor, is very radically different from the ownership by the Federal Government and the States favored by Mr. Bryan; but both theories are dangerous to the well-being of the country. The public service corporations should be left to individual initiative and control, subject to Federal laws which would prevent unjust discriminations or unfair charges in passenger and freight service. Rates for passenger or freight service arbitrarily fixed without proper investigation of property values concerned and cost of operating can easily degenerate into confiscation of property by the simple process of depreciating the intrinsic value of it, that is, the earning capacity over interest on capital and operating charges. And if this can be done in the case of railroads it will be done in the case of other property of a public service character. The theories of both Bryan and President Roosevelt are dangerous, if carried to a logical conclusion. Regulation of public service corporations in passenger and freight rates is as far as the Government can safely go. Tramps and Fakers. Every race, more or less, is afflicted with a class of people who go about the country busying themselves in other people's affairs, and who have no visible means of support. This class of fakers and hoarders usually spend most of their time in advising other people how to succeed, but have never succeeded themselves. They go from one community to another, from one State to another, and are always full of some newly hatched scheme that is going to redeem the entire race. We advise Afro-Americans in every part of the country to fight shy of this class of men and women. The man who has no steady employment or no profession or business of his own is not the individual who can be trusted to give advice to others as to how to succeed in any endeavor. Just now the woods are full of men who are living on the "Brownville Affair." We do not mean to discourage those who are putting forward straightforward efforts in the direction of securing money to be used in seeing that the soldiers get justice; but we do mean to say that there are many fakers and hoarders who have not had a month's steady employment for years who are just now spending their time in pretending to secure money for the soldiers. It would be interesting to investigate and see first how much of this money has ever reached the soldiers. In making these statements we do not have in mind the praiseworthy efforts put forth by church and other organizations which have handled their money in a way to make it reach the desired goal for the life of us we can not see how people who have been without steady employment for years can all at once become so interested in securing money for others. We must get rid of fakers, hoffers and tramps. "Negro" The editor of THE Aer has made a long and persistent opposition to the use of the term "Negro" as used to describe or designate a race of people from Africa, because it is used all over the globe to describe the physical character of the African people—black color, kinky hair, browed nose, and the like—and so used is treated as a common noun, as it should be; and while we shall use the term Afro-American as more appropriate and dignified, we shall hereafter allow correspondents to use the term "Negro" as they will, and in news matter we shall general In accepting the terms "Negro" and "Negress" to designate the African or Afro-American people we are sure that our men and women make a big mistake. What are we to do, however, when all of our popular speakers and writers—Dr. Washington, Prof. DuBois, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Prof. Kelly Miller, Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams, Mrs. J. Silicone Yates, Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Bishop Turner, Bishop Grant, Bishop Walters—most of our strong men and women persist in using these inappropriate terms, what are we to do? When the lexicographical definition of "Negro" is "one belonging to Ulotichi or woolly-haired type of mankind; a black man, especially of African blood, and particularly belonging to the stock of Seneguela, Upper Guinea and the Soudan," and when "Negress" is defined as a female of the "Negro race," "a black wench"—when these definitions are used by publicists all over to describe a sort and not a race of people is it not a degradation on our part to accept it? And we cannot see for the life of us the wisdom of so designating such mixed-blooded people as Dr. Washington, Dr. DuBois, Mrs. Terrell and a million or two more of their mixed-blooded sort. The wise men of the race who instituted the Bethel and Zion Methodist Episcopal churches made no such mistake; they called them African Methodist Episcopal churches, and they built on flinty ethnic terminology which will abide as long as Africa occupies a place on the map of the world. But, as we have said, we are not stronger than all of the men and women of the race and the publicists of the world, who persist in using the terms "Negro" and "Negress" to designate a sort of people rather than a race of people; so when they want to use it in The Age we are going to allow it; but we want it distinctly understood that neither the writer nor any of his tribe is a Negro or Negress; the whole of that tribe, as it has evolved out of the nimbus of the past, are Afro-Americans from the heel up and proper nouns of the pugnacious, aggressive sort. And here is to Mr. Negro and Mrs. Negress, and may they speedily become proper nouns which the world must respect rather than common nouns, which the world treats, with scorn and contempt. Afro-American Ministers and Politics. After following the matter for a number of years we have come to the conclusion that it is a matter of doubtful wisdom for our ministers and bishops to take so large a part in active and practical politics as many of them do. Every minister has the right to take an active part in public affairs, but when a minister leaves aside his immediate calling and takes active part in partisan politics, as a rule, he loses more than he gains. Not only this, but in the majority of cases he places his congregation in an awkward position. There is no more disgusting or importante spectacle than to see bishops and ministers sitting around the waiting rooms of State and National committees begging for recognition and for financial assistance. This was made so apparent during the last National campaign that one of the members of the National Republican Committee and frankly to a bishop, who was fond of losing around the rooms of the National Republican Committee, waiting for an audience and begging for assistance, that he owed it to his race and to his church to remain away from the committee and act in a more dignified manner. African-American ministers can accomplish very much in local and partisan politics, but they can only do it by proclaiming civil righteousness and keeping clear of tangling financial alliances and hamming campaign headquarters. We do not mean to say that the race should not take an active part in politics; it should, but the practical mixup of our activity should be left to others. The minister has a higher and more important service to render to our people and to the community than being a sort of healer in politics. Mr. William Jennings Bryan is a very skeptical politician, but he sometimes says and does things which show that the demagogue in him is as big as the broadside of a Baptist meeting house. Commuting on the Atlantic City hotel discrimination against nieces of Mrs. Frank, a sister of Senator Isidor Rayner of Maryland, because they are Jews, Mr. Bryan says in his paper, The Commander, that prejudice against any people on "account of their religion" should not be tolerated anywhere in this country. Mr. Bryan knows very well that prejudice against the Jews is because of race and not of religion. In this country no one cares a rap what sort of religion his neighbor holds to; but there is more prejudice of race in this country than in any other country, we believe, Indians, Heybrooks, Africans, aliens and domestic Chinese, Japanese, Irish, one sort of American has a prejudice against one or the other of these races, sometimes against the whole of them, and they in their turn have a prejudice among themselves and against other sorts of Americans. The whole miserable business is the worst miserable business in American life. The bill equalizing the pay of female and male teachers in the public schools of New York has been retooled by Governor Hughes, because he thinks that the subject should be regulated by the local school authorities who, in New York county, are opposed to equalization. The www.uniwurst.edu principle remain, however, that when a woman does the same grade of work as a man and does it as well she should have the same pay as a man. There are certain grades of school work, however, which do not, require other service than that of women and which is not such as to require the pay that a man must command in order to support himself and his family. And, whether it is necessary or not, it requires more to support a man than a woman. Why this is considered to be necessary, if it is, leads to more talk. At the commencement exercises of the Bordentown Manual Training School, General Howard, pointing to the Star-Spangled Banner, said: "That is your flag; this is your country." The manner of the pronouncement of the great truth took the audience off its feet. And in war and in peace, according to numbers and opportunity, the Afro-American people have done as much as any other element of the American people to win this country to independence, to dedicate it to freedom and equality under the law, and to make it one of the greatest and most prosperous of all the nations of the earth. Who shall question his inheritance who has shed his blood and his sweat to make his country free and great? There are about 4,000 Japanese in Greater New York. A Sunday newspaper says that they do not make perfect servants. Of course not. There are no perfect servants, nor any other class of workers. There will always be trouble over the servant question until a system is adopted which will give servants as fair consideration as other workers get. Servants are supposed to do everything in a household, except of very rich employers; they are supposed to work all day and most of the night, or as long as guests turry, and to have one night of the week "out." The system should be changed, and the standard of servants will be no higher until there is a change. The Washington Bee does not take kindly to the selection of the Hon. William Howard Taft as one of the trustees of the James fund. We look at it differently. Mr. Taft is one of the most eminent and capable men in the Republic, and thought to the work which lies before the trustees of the fund, we should appreciate the fact. There are many qualities of head and heart that we admire in Secretary Taft, but he has gone wrong in several matters affecting the rights and interests of the Afro-American people which diminish our admiration. As a trustee of the James fund he can be of great service to the Afro-American people. The efforts of The New York Sun to rehabilitate in the politics of the Republic the discredited Democratic leadership of the Southern States has its worthy purpose the killing off of the pernicious Presidential aspirations of William J. Ryan, because The Sun knows that a Southern Democrat would have no more chance to win in a Presidential election than would Eugene V. Debs on the Socialist ticket. Is beer the drink of the most highly civilized people, instead of whiskey and other highly intoxicating liquors? What to Eat says so. The more savage a people are the more they take to high intoxicants. However all this may be, the people of the United States last year consumed tiff four million barrels of beer. The meeting of the National Negro Business League at Toppea, in August, will be from all the promises one of the most striking events in the life of the Afro-Americans of the great West, and especially of "Bleeding Kansas." --- It makes the height glad to think of the army of young men and women who are going out from seminaries and colleges and universities at this season of the year armed to make good and helpful citizens. The Chicago Conservator should understand once for all that we are glad that it has converted Dr. Washington to its way of looking at the race question and that we hope it will keep him converted. The Army and Navy Register makes a vigorous protest against using the army and navy as a drawing card for the Jamestown Exposition, which it insults exists only on paper. --- The man who thanks God that he is better than other men" needs a heap of watching --- The "best seller" among books is said to be the Bible, of which 40,000 are sold every day. (IVIL RIGHTS OF JEWS) A High View of Senator Saxe's New new From The New York Times. The bill introduced by Senator Saxe amends the provisions of the existing law forbidding the proprietors or managers of places of entertainment, accommodation, and amusement to refuse the hospitality thereof to any person on account of race, faith, creed or color, but the new provisions of the bill specify the prohibition of giving notice by publication or otherwise that the patronage of certain classes of customers is not desired or solicited. Common sense, quite independent of the prohibitions of law, ought to permit persons of certain classes of their entertainment list that a public notice not only to certain would be patrons, but to hundreds of thousands of persons who will never have anything to do with them, will never seek, and so cannot be permitted to entertain persons of quite needless and unneeded for. The exclusion of any given individual from a place of entertainment on grounds capable of reasonably convincing statement, of course, always and everywhere a privilege that may be exercised. Neither pelunkers nor狱人狱押ers to entertain persons of objectionable conduct. But this is very different from proclaiming the exclusion of a whole class or race merely for reasons of class or race. That is narrow, and not general. For such exhibitions of intolerance Senator Saxe's bill provides the remedy. ..... NEW JETER ON EVANGELICAL WORK Rare Article on 'Inside of Things Inc' by a Pinter—Fried Chichester. Please allow me space in your paper to speak of the work that I have been called to leave home and engage in. We have been on the first, on an evangelical tour through the city, out of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Virginia, District of Columbia, Maryland and Delaware. Of course we can only hope to reach some of the people we have met with the Emmanuel Baptist church, New Haven, Rev. A. C. Powell, D. D. pastor. We preached and sang there on the evening of May 17. The earnest work of Rev. A. C. Powell for us and the assistance they received have greatly encouraged us. Dr. Powell is a spirit-hled man and has a very spiritual church. While there we were entertained by Rev. and Mrs. Powell, who made it exceedingly pleasant for us. From New Haven we have to Brooklyn May 18, and made our home with Mr. and Mrs. Simu G. Buchanan, 220 and Mrs. Simu H. Buchanan, 220 our stay very pleasant indeed. On the following Sunday morning we preached and sang for Pastor Dixon's people. In the afternoon we were with Rev. Hale, who has a mission at No. 12 10th avenue, and we have a mission at No. 12 10th avenue, son's house. He and Dr. Jackson, after hearing the message that we are to carry wherever we shall go, give us with their prayers a check for $10 to help us on our way to the Abyssinian Baptist church at 240 West 40th street, Rev. C. B. Morris, D. D., pastor. This was a great day for God in these several places. The dear pastor and people received us and the pastor and people received us with great joy and made us Godspeed. Monday, May 21, we met the ministers' conference in Mt. Olivet Baptist church, Sild street, Rev. M. W. Gilbert, D. D. pastor. On Tuesday evening we were at the Baptist Temple, Rev. A. Chandler the pastor, Rev. A. Chandler the ideal wife, Rev. Chandler, with the harty cooperation of Deacon Randolph and other officials, as well as the members, are doing a grand work. They have the most valuable church property the plions man at Godown in the city. We spent the night in the house of Deacon and Mrs. Randolph, who are relatives of ours. We shall never forget the fried chicken and the many other good things we partook of for breakfast. We had both a spiritual and a temporal friend by Pastor Randolph, vited by Pastor Dixon again to pray and sing for his church on Wednesday evening. We went from Pastor and Mrs. Dixon's table to the meeting. The holy spirit was greatly manifested in this morning the pastor and church were prepared to reverie. We had announced our coming. After being well cared for Friday evening at Dr. and Mrs. Jackson's we left Saturday morning for the City of Brotherly Love. We are now here, stopping at 702 S. 17th in the city home, the Mrs. and Mrs. Sullivan S. home, the Mrs. Parks, Johnson, Credite, Moore, Gordon and Talferro. These Christian ministers of God know how to treat a brother who is worthy. We shall tell you more in our next letter. SOUTHERN CHAIN GANGS. Crimes Committed in Them a Disgraced to the Public. From The New York Evening Post. The rival of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" on the stage in this city is coincident with the whipping to death of a coor half-witted Regno. The Pratt mines, men, were at the same time, and the "Soul" was always pented Mrs. Stone's book, and declared that the case of "Uncle Tom, if it over happened, was about as exceptional a crime as the killing of a President in the United States. But the Birmingham after enough to cause Harriet Boeher Stone to arise from her grave and add a chapter to her classic. As related to the Birmingham newspapers, the "Negro vicino" was that "Ford was a great crime." That charge which, according to the Rev. Quincy Ewing, lately rector of a Birmingham Episcopal church, is sorted to together with that of gambling, whenever the chaingang and losses of the man who is theological. The "Uncle Tom" is being unable to pay his time. Ford was sent to the mine, although, as it now appears, the boy was half-witted and also subject to its because of which he was often totally unacqu�ated for work, and he was not to be a man who had not, and sister paid his fine amounting to $25, and after finding him unconscious in the hospital brought him in that condition to the city, where he died. It then appeared that the body of the death of the death of the two children was allowed to wring from his shoulders down, and that in partions of the back pieces of the flesh had been born off Marks were also observed from the throat of the Negro, as if he had been chased. We question the unclonker's statement. "Birmingham Fortunately, the revelation of this crime led to strong protests which would not have been possible in Uncle Tom's day. One citizen of Birmingham declared in the *World War II* that it is questionable of the sufficiency of the barbarism in Silicon Valley a more brutal deed than this." And he pertinently asked, "Tinoring the moral aspect of this question. I ask how can we hope to induce immigration to this community when crimes which put to shame the American way of life were voke nothing more than a passing comment?" And the women did not remain silent: the president and secretary of the United Charities wrote to *The Agor-herald* denaming complete investigation and "punishment to the fullest extent of the criminality of the biased biotic act." But the carer found that the evidence was not "sufficiently strong to hold Mr. Lovejoy, the deputy warden, who admitted having conducted the whipping." The evidence did show, however, that the "person" had received a some sort of sentence, but the court could not find any definite regulations as to whipping, but "it is said to be a common practice in the mines." In an American commonwealth, Anno Domini 1807, how long will the South endure and scandal arising from its refusal of penalty and its indefensible system of selling offenders, white and black, into bondage? INDIANS SEEK HUSBANDS. Chickasaw Girl Want Only White Men —Student Write to Them. CHAMBOTE, N. C. May 27. Twelve Indian girls of the Chickasaw Nation, in Indian Territory, have written to President Winstone of the State Agricultural College, requesting his aid in procuring them for school. They have an agreement to marry none but white men. As they have much land, they think students at the Agricultural College would make the right sort of husbands. President Winstone read the letter to the students, and it was received with enthusiasm. Fifty students have written to the girls. --- △ PROFITABLE LESSON. Progress the Boot has Made in the Pace of Obstacles. To the Editor of The New York Age: "the lesson in the international quarterly properly taught, with a thorough explanation, the now existing racial feeling has been brought before all races in its reality. The real and only reason that some race hatred which has manifested itself through all ages in some form. If the race in power this century would have their hearts touched and accept a race through this lesson just brought to them. What is surprising to know is that a powerful race (as the Egyptians were and as the 'uncantas们 are-to-day) are aware of keeping a race down which has a mind and determination to better itself. As the Israelites, the more we are afflicted the more our advantages multiply unseen, more circumscript opportunities. Some have fit into this reality, there is one capable of accepting each new advantage, until now in the past forty years men and women of any profession competence have been found. If there is a race that it would be for our race, for we have advanced faster, have shown more fidelity and abilities in these forty years of freedom than any other race in a short time. We have lost annoying and grievous. From 2010 1819 to 3,000,000 is an alarming number for today. Our populousness is throughout the country; they have left the land and have filled the lands all around." The race hatred to-day, as in older times, is compelling our race to provide for the future: Teaching them by the Pharohs of to-day, such as Ben Tillman, Hoke Smith and the revered gentleman to prepare themselves for the time when they will be called upon to hand. I trust that our race may have profited by this great lesson taught Sunday, that it may encourage the despondent and oppressed, and that they may continue to advance until the time of recognition is compelled to be given us. It would also be very helpful, perhaps, to inform if they were to race, would also see their inefficient delusions, and condescend, while "mercy may be found." S. E. L. HARRIN. SECRETARY TAFT The Attitude of Afro-American Voters Considered. From The Troy (N. Y.) Daily Press. In a recent review of the Presidential situation, and particularly with reference to Secretary Taft's variable and odious treatment of the Negro soldiers at the Taft office, the House of Representatives party that "in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois the loss of the colored vote by the Republican party would give all of those States to the Democratic candidate." It adds, also, that the Democratic party will be the next President of the United States as surely as the election is held. Such a condition as this should stimulate Democrats to nominate a candidate calculated to command the confidence of the one whose record is replete with the inspirations of victory instead of the depressions of defeat. T. Thomas Fortune, the colored editor of THE NEW YORK Ack, hold an important consulate post under Roscoe administration, and usually administrate the affairs of the Brownville affair sickened him, as well as his race generally. THE ACE SAYS. No Americans have a right to be suspicious of all Ohio statesmen, R. B. Inges, James A. Garfield, William McKinley, as Presidents, must be held responsible for American people, and of having placed them in the position of disadvantage which the politician never is anything but a politician, soldier rising to statismanagement. Secretary Taft has not shown in his conduct the government in the insular territories that he is different from other Ohio politicians and estimate and treatment of Afro-American men. Coming from a journalist personally obligated to the President, this glimpse reference to the Taft boom is significant. The president's little to hope for from colored voters. The knowledge that this feeling exists also will hurt Taft in convention. Shred Republicans will hesitate about driving such an important figure in the electoral race. EUROPEANS IN CHINA. South the Native as in the Philippines and Africa. * From The New York Evening Post, SHANGHAI, China. April 20—In one week, the newspapers no difference which, Kipling wrote: On East is East, and West is West. And never the twin shall meet. There is no disputing such an authority in Kipling. One has not to stay long in China he finds that the foreign residents generally speaking have little in common with the Chinese. The business man will tell you that he is not a native but the average foreigner knows little or nothing about the Chinese character. Chinese customs, or Chinese customs, are a business way. He makes no attempt to look at things from the Chinese viewpoint or to study the Chinese methods, and there is no wonder that there is no interest in household employees, and the average foreigner is as far away from China as if he were at home. Except for a little "spin-gait" talk, which no educated Chinese can even tell, he has nothing of the people, nor have they any Chinese friends. There are about 15,000 foreigners, maybe more, in Shanghai alone, and they keep entirely to themselves the people or the country within which they live. Mention the name of some prominent Chinese scholar or local official, and you will find that the ordinary foreigner has never even heard his name before. Shanghai is an international settlement and is governed by a Municipal Council representing the different municipalities all by itself. And there is a little park here on the Boundary in one corner, "The Gardens." It is called, and at the gate of the iron fence which encloses it, stands a large sign that says "from entering. This same park, though is free to Japanese. As to dining with a Chinaman except as a business proposition, the average foreigner would not eat there. The hotel here Chinese are not allowed in the dining room, and if the commercial traveler guest wishes to invite a Chinese merchant to dinner he is shown into a little room, and he is hard to think what the Chinese themselves think of such regulations put in force by foreigners in their own country.

Company "A1" M Street High School Wine—History of the Bottleman. WASHINGTON, May 27—Before beginning 100,000 spectators at the American League Baseball Park, last Friday afternoon, three companies of the Separate Battalion of the M street High School and the Armstrong Manual Training School competed for the medals awarded to the best drilled company in the battalion. Company A, in command of Capt. John R. Pinkett, and composed of the students of the M street high school, was the successful company. The captain put his men through a quick, snappy drill, which won the approbation of the M street supporters. The military men who acted as judges of the contest were Capt. Harry Cooke, Adjutant I Regiment; First Lieut. C. L. Lindsey and First Lieut. William F. Sullivan, all of the National Guard of the District of Columbia. It took but a few minutes to arrive at their decision. At the close of the competition battalion drill and dress parade, Maj. Thomas Greene commanding, occupied the attention while the judges were deliberating. Company U of the Manual Training School was first to maneuver, under command of Capt. Dr. and Capt. Chishon F. Rolling; a rousing ovation was given them from the Manual Training followers. Company B next arrived, with Capt. Dr. and Capt. Wilkerson and S. Fields. Company A, the winning company, was the last to drill. The companies maneuvered in a manner that was unusual for any military organization of any country. For two years the boys drilled under very adverse circumstances, without uniforms or guns. To secure money to provide military organization an equipment to a military organization an officer given in the Metropolitan A. M. E. church in 1892, by the pupils of the school, the main feature being an "exercise" under command of Capt. Albert Ridley, under command they borrowed the uniforms from the members of the Separate Battalion of the District National Guard. At the beginning of the next school year, 1883, the High School Cadets was organized. High School Cadets was organized after competitive examination the following officers were chosen: captain, Woals, Cornish; first lieutenant, James W. Second lieutenant, Marcellus Siphax. The company had about seventy members. The effect of the formation of the military company and the discipline enforced is regarded as excellent for the general purpose, but the boys are observed in their carriages, and in the habit of obedience enjoined. It instills the principles of patriotism and loyalty to their country. That the boys are made citizens is shown by their records. Not a citizen has been an officer of these cadets has ever been arrested on the charge of misdemeanor. In the recent Spanish-American war, nine officers selected from this city were appointed to the Separate Battalion of the High School Cadets. The first colored man to be promoted from the ranks to a commission in the regular army was formerly a High School Cadet (Bolomian Davis (Capt. Co. B. 1888). First a Teenth Cavalry, S. U. A. Some of the others who received commissions during the Spanish-American war were: First a Marine harrier Minking, Burgess Frank Stewart, and Lovis Ravenshard, who is still in the Constabulary. Philippines. Much conduction is due Major Arthur Battalion, N. First Separate Battalion, N. Second School Cadets for his grade. Separation Not from but in the Church MISSIONARY BISHOPS Address of Bishop Strange—Rev. E. Robt. Bennett Wins Council and Secures Resolution. KINGTON, N. C., May 21.—The twenty-fourth annual council of the diocese of East Carolina met in St. Mary's church Saturday evening, the 18th. Beside the large number of white clergy and lay delegates there were four Afro-American priests, two deacons and seven lay delegates in attendance. The beginning of what eventually means separation was made in that the Afro-American clerical and lay delegates were assigned special means and were excused from attendance on the religious services of the council, separate religious services being held in St. Augustine's mission for Afro-Americans, under the charge of Rev. J. L. Taylor,ector of St. Cyprian's church, New Bern, N. C., and late of Petersburg, Va. A large portion of the address of Bishop Strange, which was read on Sunday night in St. Mary's church in the absence of the Afro-American delegates, dealt in no uncertain manner with the question of Missionary Jurisdiction and Negro Bishops. Typewritten copies of this address were handed the Afro-American delegates on Monday morning at the business session of the council, to all of which business sessions these delegates were welcomed and we herein submit an extract verbatim from the same: "A last and important matter. I wish to lay before you at a greater length, in the question of a Negro Missionary Jurisdiction and a Negro Bishop, and a discussion in which we are going to have a said to a moment to consider the general conditions of the Negro in their relation to the white people. We have today about two whites and relative groups in black to white in 1980. About 12 per cent.; and we have nearly the same in the South, about 50 per cent. What is to become? Now, the black men are so far away, so much would care suggest an answer looking farther ahead that that; God only knows. Some say he will amalgamate with the whites. Many thought so immediately after the wger, no, no, no, so immediately, so now. After 10 years the separation between the races is clearer, wider and more distinct than ever before. The thou-hiful black men do not desire amalgamation and the child will be colonized. It. Some say the Negro will be colonized. I think that there is less reason in this answer even than in the former. The Negro does not wish to go, and I cannot forget that the "Theft of the multily" departing forcibly unless a million people. No, as Dr. Hooker T. Washington says, this problem is not to be solved by deportation or by amalgamation. The "Negroes are so unhelpful as to do so, and the talk of them will stay in the South. For years there has been a movement of the Negroes from the country to the towns and cities of the South, and from the southern cities of the South, to those who go to the south will continue to go North in sufficient numbers for our bchren of the North to learn to know them to sympathize with us in our problem, and to have some of the others to be so well-and to feel that we must all work together toward a true and final solution. The Negroes are divided into two distinct classes: more widely, it seems to me, than any of the nationalities of the negroes and I hope they will continue to keep and Increase this distinction. A minority are improving, taking advantage of education, and advancing in morality and industry, acquiring pre-warry and non-worthy rights. These few are so long a standard and are giving us hope to what the Negro can and may become. The majority are not improving, but rather retrograde. They are so thinking that a little education will give them the privilege of living without man; all labor; they are making higher wages the way to learn work rather than the way to do the work. So if they're difficult, we'll be so so good and criminal. Now as I study this race so dividing in the great laboratory of Nature, under the law of God which works on so justly tititums appears to be so easily to be for the whole good of man. I look forward with the hope that the smaller better class will decrease. The better class will increase as all good things do and will increase in the problem. The other good is to help with a samathy of true good men, the larger, meaner class of Negros will steadily diminish in two directions; the first by movement of their best into the higher class swelling that slowly into the lower class. The other class of the others, anything off of their worst by the diseases which spring from idleness, self-indulgence, filth and immorality. What we white men of the North and South ought to do to encourage and to the other place in the life of the "We must give them full protection in their life, liberty and pursuit of happiness in their life, manhood and justice in their life, and in politics; we must give them equality of opportunity in earning their bread, in making their homes, in educating their children; we must cheer and sympathy in seeking the fulfillment of the aspirations of the human heart among their own people. I tell you, my people, we can use, that we Christian men of the South must have some definite, reasonable policy toward the weaker race in our misfortune. As men we cannot drift as we do in our misfortune. As men we cannot drift as we do in our misfortune. As men we cannot drift as we do in our misfortune. This policy I suggest hath in it hope and is founded on the eternal principle of justice, and on the principle of justice, and on the principle of justice. We must see, God that many of us are coming to me more and more clarity that it will not do to have 60 per cent. of the people of our Southern land south and southwest, discontented and hopeless; but that we will not be toward a happy and noble civilization with both races cheerful and hopeful sympathizing with each other in their peculiar perceptions, trusting their brother on earth, their Father God in the earth, their mind in the conditions, what ought we Christians in the church of God do to help and strengthen this smaller, higher class and to persuade many of the larger, lower class to join us in the church of God, frankly acknowledge the hard facts of the case, and as far as possible put to one side the theories. We are confronted by a condition; as far as I read and study, absolutely new in the history of mankind, and therefore preceded by others, but I believe that the church of the living God is wise and great enough to meet this emergency and to a just! herself to its real conditions. The underlying principle is that God does not from but in the church between the two races for the growth of the church among white men and black men, and for the development of Christian manhood among the black men. Have we to effect that separation so as to do justice to the Negro? How shall we keep him still in the one, Holy Catholic church in the United States of America and not to lower it? How shall we keep him close enough to secure the sympathy, support and the guidance of the white race, and yet, put him far enough apart to grow and to strengthen, to meet responsibility, to independence and to cultivate a brave and sober initiative? The other answer comes from the men who think that we are confronted by facts, not theories, and that theories and facts, who think that the church in her wisdom must rise up to meet this opportunity and responsibility, must adapt and adjust her system to the facts, who say that the Negro bishop is the best bishop in the church, the best Christianist and save the Negros, then we must have a Negro bishop. This answer, again, comes from those who are looking more closely at the *lea* better advancing Negros, not Negro bishop, not Negros, and powers and aspirations, believing that races must be lifted by their own race leaders, that they can only truly understand and follow their own bishop, and look at Booker Washington, know that wonderful Presbyterian missionary, William N. Shepherd, consider the African Methodist bishops, strong men, benders of their follows, against them. Such among our own men in the church, or our system is workable at fault, we can find one or two honest, true, gate, purp men fit to be bishops to their own race. Such a man would be a bishop indeed to their social life, of which their religion will be possible for him. He will enter as only a Negro can enter into their perplexities, their hopes and their joys, sharing rarely in their social life, of which their religion will be possible for him. His people will be real part of his church, all workhopping recording to her incomparable liturgy, all living under the same canon law. He and his deputies will come into close contact with his congregation. He will meet with the white bishops, from whom his jurisdiction is taken, in another conference as his council of advice. From such friendly contact and advice from the highest and most powerful men among his own people as their apostle, their true bishop and father in God. This is by far the most fair, candid, and Christian solution of this grave question now confronting the Episcopal church. On the committee, the proposed and the report soon has the question of these clerical and two lay delegates from among the Afro-Americans were placed as follows. Rev. Mossets. E. Robert Hennett, M.A. and A.E. Jackson and Solomon Jones. These gentlemen met with the white members of the committee and after a thorough discussion of the question drafted and presented the results of keeping with the charges of the bishop's address, to the whole body. This action on the part of the committee was the signal for a regular storm of debate when the clergers of the school were on the other side of the clergery. Promyly of the hour named the foremost men of the diocese, clerical and lay debated the question, and the resolutions were in danger of being lost or shorn of their time. The papers which were read were the papers of St. Mark's church, obtained the floor and in a ringing speech of an hour's duration, during which time he thoroughly threshed out the matter, completely and over the length of the room. The group of thinkers of the Member after member of the council rose to withdraw their several amendments and objections, and to compliment the speaker, several going so far as to remark that he was the most important, but the most important, in their midst out of which to make Negro hislops. Rev. William George Avant also spoke to the question and the white members of the special committee, while the group of the High School were delivered the passage of the resolutions. This was done without a dissenting voice. W. T. WOOD. Charge Made That Black Women Are Passed Over in-Theatricals for the Lighter Shades. The recent triumph of the Drury Opera Company at Boston in the production of Alda with Miss Daley Allen and the resourcefulness, independence, persistence, bravery and wonderful tact of Theodore Drury. In the training and starting of Alda Allen, Drury has beenattered deserves rebuke and gade NEG stage managers and musical directors who are foremost in discouraging ebony aspirants in the theatrical productions. These directors shows and notting the striking absence of color among the women I charged it to the prejudice of the white management. And then again I have often been asked if these managers really satisfied the tastes of the theater-going public. By diligent inquiry I learn that the coounseurs in the art of selecting talent for Negro show have been instructed to maintain black Negro in whom insatiate heathen worship of "proph cullah an' ha'r" have chilled the aspirations and blighted the hope of talented gleds of black Negro in whom I have often wondered as I gassed on the dazzling spectacle—the array of quodroon, octoon and mulatto women and black men if the Negro mannish and admunation of their white audiences, or deserved ridicule and contempt. If the black actor is unobjectionable, if he is a passable ornament, if the ducky woman ought to be more so. Is there no talent, no grace, no beauty, no power to charm and fascinate in the Afro-American woman of pure blood? (Overton on a line she has no superiors on the American stage. In the work of rehearsing and perfecting his entertainment Mr. Drury doubled and an arduous culture of cultured fools of Boston who questioned his taste in selecting his talent and otherwise bored and annoyed him; but Mr. Drury was too well seasoned from his life, but didn't small try. Is the Negro guilty of the "moral crime"? Are we in our efforts to rebute the awful and damaging charges made by the trajuder shielding a guilty creature? This question comes in the form of the Negro actor and listen to his often humiliating and degrading jokes. Are we in earnest when we pray that the Negro woman of the South be gavaged from the spoiler and the creature is not unwittingly appealing to her weakness by laying "too much store by 'propail cushil an 'hair'"; The severest punishment dealt to the Jewish race was for the sin of "going after" the Negro, and we are not unwittingly into other hands; it finally dissolved, scattered over the face of the earth, the greatest nation that God ever made to be persecuted, tormented. The American Negro is running after other men, and he has long and luxuriant hair, has dealt him the severest lesson ever administered in the history of man. It has lynched him; it has burned him alive; it has layed him alive; it has turned out his entreaty; it has turned out his enemies and cooled his friends. Any other race so dealt with would hate even the blood of executioners if by new resident it coarshed through their own eyes. This severe lesson in American Negro is to be assimilated away from his own; to be assimilated, anuminated, inoculated with the blood of cowards. For to say that the American white race in diving with the American Negro is putting on a coward is putting on its superiority and power, is now cooving in object fear of an alleged weak and incapable one just forty years out of bondage, and using every effort to check its presence. To be assimilated into cowardry is only a coward into cowardry and intensify for sharper races. The child of mixed blood shuns the mother who bore it; the light-skinned Negro, like a hunted animal, skunks about in Northern communities, afraid to meet and acknowledge his own kindred. An assimilate man of the Negro who are worrying themselves no harm; God never forsook a trustive people. But he will bless no people who run after other gods. JACK THORNE. Iurx Experiment in St. Louis. From The St. Louis Globe Democrat. A jury composed of six Negroes, the first of its kind in the history of the Corner office, will hear two inquiries. Negro jury was summoned and summoned by Deputy Corner Lloyd and will hear two cases where Negroes are concerned. One of the men summoned, a dentist, called at the Corner office yesterday morning and asked to be excused. He said that he had above time to answer, but it was estimated that he did not care to serve on a jury brought out of his race. Seven years ago a prominent Negro citizen complained to the jury commissioner about the service of white men on cases where only Negroes were concerned. This complaint led the court of the Negroes complained that racial prejudice has influenced white jurors to return verdicts against the defendants. Several complaints have been made about the juries summoned by the copier and they have not reached the court directly. The law does not prohibit the serving of Negro jurors as Dr. Lloyd decided to experiment. The jury will hear the cases of Harry Adkins who was shot and killed by Nedel Haynes, his partner in a restaurant at 723 North Twenty-second street, and that of George Johnson, who was shot in a railroad camp near Little Rock, Ark. How to Create Industries. From The Cadiz (Ky.) Informer. The way to create industries for the encouragement and uplifting of the Afro-American youths is support those already making them successful. A people operating a variety of industries are bound to succeed. A dependent people gain nothing but shame and contempt. No Reward for the Idler. From The National Baptist Union God illuminates laziness and forsakes the right to reward. He gives men heads to think with and not to loaf with. But many of our people, who sneer at the silly folks, who hang around street corners, loafing and sitting in the sun, and moaning all sorts of curiosities, and moaning with their brains.

THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1907 A WEST VIRGINIA INSTITUTE AT THE JAMESSTOWN EXPOSITION Ability and Abilities of Students Illustrated in Exposition Exhibit. INSTITUTE, W. Va., June 5—If any one doubts the ability and aptness of the instructors of the West Virginia Colored Institute to teach and the capacity of the students to learn, let him see the exhibit of this institution at the Jamestown Exposition. The work both in the literary and industrial departments was done quite hurriedly, and therefore does not exaggerate the capability of the school to do work. When inspecting this work, it should be borne in mind that the school had its formal opening under a sweet gum tree, the first reception of students, 1892. The school was building, two teachers and twelve students. The school did not own a chair or school desk. Neither had the Board of Regents a cent of money with which to buy an eraser or a box of chalk. The school was in open space, and the school appropriated one cent of the State's money for the payment of teachers. The first appropriation of $1,200 a year for this purpose was made by the Legislature in 1880. Today there are seven buildings, twenty teachers, and the present year employed two hundred and eighteen students. The following is an inadequate description of the exhibit to be installed at Jamestown. In the literary department, science will be represented by biology and biology; mathematics by solutions of problems in arithmetic and algebra; English by sentences diagramed and compositions on noted productions from English and American literature. The Department of Commerce and Business will be represented by stenogram notes. The exhibit from the industrial department alone will make almost as good a showing as the entire Educational exhibit of West Virginia at St. Louis. The Institute has a duplicate exhibit, one to be placed in the educational exhibit. West Virginia the museum, the exhibit to be placed in the Norgro Building. Each exhibit will occupy about thirty feet in length and in fourteen feet high at the highest point. The Department of Domestic Science and Art is represented by one fancy lingerie waist, one fancy pants hat, one fancy high heels shirt, one miniature tailored suit, one fancy apron, one chart of sample sewing, one chart of cereals and twelve ounces of lemon, vanilla and orange extracts made from fruit. In the Mechanical Department the Division of Carpentry is represented by fourteen eight feet long, sixteen inches wide, and fourteen feet him, one roll-top desk, and four box, all made in this division and a board of models done by beginners. The Division of Brick Masonry and Plastering is represented by interior arts work. The Division of Printing is represented by sculptors by the division and specimens of work done by students. The Division of Painting and Decorating is represented by specimens of hard-wood finishing by students. The finishing of all work of the exhibit was done by this division. The Division of Blacksmithing is represented by a board of Model work by beginners, fifty two specimens of forging and finishings by students and the pipe exhibits. The Division of Mechanical and Architectural Drawing is represented by a cabinet of drawings, and house plan, etc., done by students, and three sets of plans used in estimating. Blacksmithing is represented by interior views of the shop, producing products of students' work. The wood Carving consists of the West Virginia State Shield, monogram on toolbox, lettering on the head pieces of the Faceclaw. This work is done by students' chair, the desk of the institute faculty. There will be views of all the buildings and interior views of many of the departments. The Department of Agriculture will be represented by products from the Institute farm and garden produced this year. If you go to the exposition be sure to see the exhibit from the West Virginia Colored Institute, BYRON PUTLHAM. Decoration Day Exercice NEW HAVEN, June 4.

Patriotic Entertainment NORTHAM, June 5- At the Dyer Phyllis Wilson with help from the Northam Wilson with help from the Northam KINK·NE Great Hair Straightener and Grower Most Wonderful Discovery ever made for curly kinky and knotty hair. Makes hair grow long, straight soft, and silky; cures dandruff and stops falling hair. Kink-ine acts like magic on the hair. Kink-ine Is No Experiment. It was discovered by R. Roberta, a famous English chemist, who has made a study of the scalp of coloured people for the past 30 years, and who, after much time and experience, has prepared this great glove for the colored people. This chemist said that his experience and study have taught him that the scalp of the colored people requires a special treatment and has been testing these many years he has discovered the greatest REMEDY the WORLD has ever known for the HAIR of coloured people. KINK-INE will make the hair GROW from one to three inches per month, if the directions and instructions are carefully followed out. We have many cases on record where the above results have been obtained, and we do not hesitate when we make these claims. KINK-INE is the only safe preparation in the world that is guaranteed to make the hair straight and make dry hair smooth and stop it from breaking off and falling out; takes out all the kinks and knots, curves dandruff, makes the hair soft and silky, and by nourishing the roots gives it new life and vigor, restoring it to natural color. READ what Miss Elizabeth Jones of Chicago says of KINK-INKE: 'My hair was not more than three inches long when I commenced to use Kink-ine six months ago. I have need it steadily since that date and it has grown on an average of two inches each month and it is now more than fifteen inches long.

April 28, 1907 in the health, and have waited until today, as the first steam or leaves for Liverpool at 4 p.m. In order to be in the same place to do it, I was no one at the beach to meet me. I had my lug, gage carried to the only hotel, "Service", but found later that Mr. Netley was out of work for two days. More than two hours, learning of my arrival called me back from the hotel and they have entertained me currently. Mr. Netley has returned to day and two meetings have been held yesterday and today with all of those interested, but are not a property. I am not in the kind of interest to purchase if satisfactory. All outfits have been purchased, carriers have been engaged and full details arranged for the expedition to the inlines through the use of the area. I sent a tomorrow and we follow the next day. We will not be in the night to avoid the heat. We had a few minutes to run last night, the first to go past a coded everything. I had expected to purchase the dvantite but not the powder company agent came aboard the vessel he informed me. I could not carry it and my only hope was to purchase it at Avera, but the agent at Avera could only sell me gun powder and his house nor was there any in the store for sale. I have made the acquaintance of one Aaron whom I have here and an Englishman whom I have both of whom were in the Public Works Department in Avena, and they, ascertaining my trouble in acquiring some stored away, have sent me two boxes of dynamite. So my outfit is complete now, to dinner this evening and expect to start for the miles to morrow evening. I do not going to form any opinion as I have not reached the ground and am not in possession of any facts which would warrant me in saying anything about the matter, but I will not regret sending out out, for I cannot believe I will walk on barren ground from what has been told me here in Avena. I will give me by you and all connected here seem more than satisfied at my pounding given me by you and all connected here seem more than satisfied at the future examination of the miles. You will please address all letters to me mere at Accra, and I will write you every week and keep you fully informed until my return. I am sir. Yours truly.

AH service FREDERICK DOUGLASS CENTRE Growth of an Institution Which Has Been Norovirus—Membership Compound of Both Races—Some of the Distinguished People Interested in the Study of Norovirus. Five of Debt and Has Five Hundred Members. CHICAGO, June 3.—An event of more than local interest was the third annual meeting of the Fredrick Douglas Centre, held at the Centre House, April 28. The many readers of THE AGE have been fully informed concerning the orign, purpose and progress of this interesting association of white and colored people for the purpose of "promoting a just and amicable relation between white and colored people." It will be gratifying to those who have become interested in this unique organization to learn that what at one time was a hesitating experiment has become a thing of substance, of achievement and a progressive realization of good purposes. The may may be by a critical examination of all its activities, and efforts, that the Frederick Douglas Centre has taken root in the community as well as in the consciences of its founders, and has made a place itself in that large class of people that has found an important work to do. What has been accomplished, and what it is now possible to see more clearly in lines of possible success justifies the statement that the Centre is no longer a experiment of the time. It is not a question in this way, as well as an inspiration for things possible. Three years ago it was started on faith lines, without money, without a membership, with timid friends and without a home. To-day of $5,500, practically all paid for; it has strong friends, white and black who represent a part of whatever is best in the life of Chicago. As an association it has a paying membership of two of which are the only two of which are divided about equally between white and colored people. Among these friends are two judges of the Appellate Court, professors of the Chicago University, including Miss Breckenridge, representing the five of the principal authorities of the South solid business men, who have found time and inclination to become interested in other things than money getting, eminent clergymen like Dr. Gansaulus, Fenkin Lloyd Jones, prominent farmers like R. H. E. Elmer, and John J. G. Plummer, eff-Judge Waterman and Dr. Emil Hirsch, Women prominent society, clubwork and fashion like Jane Adams, Mary McDowall, Mrs. George Shears, Plumber and the Librarian of The City of New York. Librarian of The Chicago Tribune, Mrs. Sherwood, the art critic, and women of wealth, like Mrs. Warren Springer, Mrs. Coonley Ward and Mrs. Wilmarth. These people are not more likely to perform a part of members of the well-made, well-made, largest is done to realize the objects of the institution. They are all impelled by a sense of duty and responsibility or to pay it in some way, they are in the same order as those of the H.J. Fleming of Georgia. who recently said: "If, as some predict, the Negro in the distant future must fall and fall by the wayside in the strenuous march of the nature of him." These white men and women of wealth prominence and influence have earnestly pledged then, wives to the declared objects of the Centre, which are: (1) to promote a just and amicable relation between the white and colored people, (2) to remove the disabilities from which the latter suffer in their civil, political and industrial life, (3) to encourage equal opportunity irrespective of race, color or other arbitrary distinctions, (4) to establish a Centre of friendly helpfulness and influence in which to gather useful information and for mutual cooperation to the end of right living and a higher citizenship. Certainly there is nothing fan-f闹 or remote in this platform of principle. The bundling of these prominent men and women together means simply this, that every attempt made in Chicago to force colored people to live below their aspiration and a higher them in their political and civil rights, will be existed in an intelligent, foreful and helpful manner. In this cooperation of the two races, no one as yet has had the temerity to raise the cry of "social equality." Such a suggestion would instantly be regarded as imminent. The threestoried white stone building owned and occupied by the Frederick Douglas Centre, is a most delightful place to visit. It is a place of quite open spaces and gardens, with zines and pictures. During the year many prominent men and women have dropped in to see what it all means; among them Dr. Rooster T. Washington, Mr. Coleridge Taylor of London, Englewood, Mrs. Lucy Thurman, president of the National Association of Women's Clubs; Mr. William E. Benson of Alabama, Bishop Alexander Walters, Dr. L. G. Jordan, Prof. Kelly Miller and Prof. H. T. Kearns. In addition to being a centre of friendliness and influence, the Centre has developed to be a real centre of culture. All kinds of study clubs and associations for good work, such as women's clubs, lyceums, music societies, classes in poetry, art and music, English, meet here and carry on their work in a quiet and earnest manner. The colored people of the city cannot be said to be more zealous than their white associates in developing the work of the Centre. Mr. Woolley appreciates its real spirit and value, but not all of them. Some affect a spirit of aloofness that cannot be described as anything less than funny. It is to be observed that the Centre is able to orded people do not yet appreciate the real significance of the work of the Centre. The foolish fear of being patronized must be overcome by such substantial results as the Centre will be able to bring about. The Centre is not a moment, as such, but its real object is mutual co-operation "to the end of right living and a higher citizenship." It recognizes prejudice as an obstacle in this community as in others, and the question is how can this ascendency be resisted? The Centre stands to answer this question in terms of forceful helpfulness, wherever prejudice at the level of the community is in others, and people who refuse their co-operation are hopelessly blind to their own interest. By its good work, however, the Centre in gaining recruits among the doubtful and illiterate, has ever accomplished so much as the Douglas Centre in dissipating race prejudice. The confidence of the community has been gained and the pro-operative attitude of the people has been more than once heeded and benefited by unfriendly forces. Mrs Celia Parker Woolley, the promoter and president of the Centre, is always included in the class of women who have culture, wisdom, courage and concordance. The friendly friends for the Cent.

The Colored Cooperative Company moved into their new office on Warwick avenue. Business having grown so large that they were compelled to go to larger quarters. The larger priced Sunday morning after an absence of a week. After a very spiritual love heart there as a companion to the pastor preached his farewell sermon for this conference year in the evening. The president of the trustee board presented the sermon. The pastor will leave this week for the annual conference which meets in Brooklyn on Wednesday for the church unanimous calls for his return. On Tuesday evening, May 21, 1907, the Susan R. Anthony Mother's club held a meeting of the members and friends gathered at the association room 127 Palladium avenue. It was to be held in October. The address delivered by Mrs. Alice W. Willer, president of the Northwestern Women's Club, most instructive. Her address on homemaking as the most important duty, and her advice on how to work with thoughtfulness. She urged the club women to be loyal to each other, and aid in every way possible the uplifting of their lives. The next speaker was Mrs. Sylvia A. Harris, superintendent of the Juvenile Detention Center, with her work among them in the alums of New York. She received thanks speaking long after the specified time. Donations of groceries were brought for the nurses and her work appreciated by the Nursery Committee. At the close of the meeting, light refreshment was provided by the Officers of the Mother's club are Mrs. M. J. McComb, chalfman; Mrs. Sarah Jack, treasurer; Miss Janet Bank, secretary. Industrial Institute Note Oberlass, La., June 3.—The Industrial Institute, of Morrow, La., has just closed a most successful session. Notwithstanding the heavy raids that have been falling almost every day in this month the exercises were well attended. One of the principal features, long to be remembered, was the Industrial sermon, peached by Rev. V. R. Bryant, president of the 7th District Sunday School Association. He selected as a text, "Study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands." Rev. Bryant pointed out very forcibly the necessity of young men and women fitting themselves for the battle of competition in the business and industrial world. He severely criticised that shiffless class of young men who are naught but parasites, snapping the life blood out of good society. He urged all young women to guard their hearts and hands from this class of young men until they were sure that the young men in their anxiety to give the girls a cozy corner in their hearts, had not neglected to provide for them a cozy cottage that she might call his own. The Morrow Industrial Institute is located in an ideal community, being surrounded by a goodly number of landowners, among the principal are: Henry Thompson, 237 acres; P. Lewis, 80; Jessie Gedeau, 40; A. Bennett, 40; A. Alfred, 40; T. Calshan, 60; L. Alfred, 38; E. J. Lafleur, 60; and many others owning from 20 to 60 acres. The only great stumbling block in the way of our people in this vicinity is the gross per cent of ignorance among them. But when we tell you that after leaving Morrow one may travel for fifteen or twenty miles around without being brought in contact with a school, you can readily see why there is such a crop of ignorance here.

WILLIAM H. LEWIS IS SPECIAL U. S. ATTORNEY Only Hotel for Race Owned by White Man - Money for Tuxedo BOSTON, MASS, June 1—Hon. Wm. H. Lewis, of this city, who for several years under appointment by President Roosevelt, has served as Assistant U. S. District Attorney, has just been appointed Special U. S. Attorney for the State of Massachusetts, and matters under the new law, which has just gone into effect. This recognition of Mr. Lewis brings him both additional prestige and a substantial increase in status. To illustrate further the unfortunate condition in this city, our people are not able to operate a hotel for themselves, although there is a fine looking and well maintained hotel, patronized almost wholly by Afro-American men and controlled by white men. It is, perhaps, the only city in the United States where, in the case of a hotel, our people are not able to operate one for themselves, and not able to own and operating such enterprises, they devote all of their time and energy to discussing the woes of the "poor Negro" in the South, while the white man is a hotel for them and rakes in the money. The readers of THE AGE will be glad to learn that Massachusetts is still deeply interested in the progress of the Afro-American. This is indicated by the proclamation of the Mulliken of this State, who died some months ago and leaves a bequest to the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, Alabama, to the amount of about one hundred thousand dollars. The late Mr. Harris of Boston, left a request to the institution of three thousand dollars. This is the season when the attention of our people is beginning to turn to graduation and commencement exercises. We are glad that a 'considerable number of institutions for higher education in this State within the next few days. We hope that during the coming year Boston and Massachusetts will be represented among the graduates by larger numbers of the young men and women who graduate are planning to work in the South. PASTOR TAYLOR CELEBRATES. 20th Wedding Anniversary Event of Large Importance. Parents' Day. ANSWER PARK. June 4 - On the 20th of May occurred what is styled here as Parents' Day, but which really means the day in which parents are invited to the needs of the city by work and note the progress made by the children. Such an event was prepared for by the teachers of the Springwood avenue school—there had been no paints in the school for the successful showing of the colored children's ability, and to say that they succeeded would be only expressing it very mildly. The words of the superintendent, that on some lines of work, the Springwood avenue school had surpassed the school of the East Side. There were shown by the different students painting, painting and folding.
