Thanks the Afro-Americans Have Made Great Progress Since the War.
Before leaving for Philadelphia to attend the first meeting of the trustees of the Jeanne Fund, Secretary Thakre gave us a brief overview of the porter of The New York Evening Post:
"I felt that I could not shirk the duty imposed upon me by the request: I serve as a trustee of the fund which this mobile lady has donated to a cause that should interest every human being. I need the necessary to enable me to take an active interest in administering the Jeanne fund and to help the community take to my summer home at Murray Bay a collection of facts and figures about the Northern Nebraska.
"It seems to me that Miss Jeanes has shown great wisdom in giving this fund during her lifetime, as she can see the made this charitable bequest without any conditions that will prevent its administration for the splendid purpose for which it was made, and that it is harder to give money judiciously than it is to make it, and that many gifts of this character are restrictive of their value. The two conditions attaching to the Jeanes fund are (1) that it shall be expended in the interests of rudimentary education of the Negroes of the endowment, and (2) the endowment cannot be touched.
"The Southern people are sharing the expense of maintaining public schools and providing them with the staff that these schools are well attended and well conducted. Of course the burdens of teaching these schools are people of the South because they own more property than the Negro citizens, and they are more security holdings at a remarkably rapid rate, and thus annually shouldering more money to maintain schools for their children in addition to the public schools there are a number of institutions in various parts of the South. Negro which have been given by those who are sufficiently well off in this area to interest in this cause by liberal gifts.
"But the Jeanne fund is intended to reach the rural districts, and it will be Negroes manifesta's real desire for schoolhouses and are willing to share part of the expense of construction. The effort of the fund will be to help those who help themselves. The interest will be expanded here and there throughout the district, and the cities and towns feels the need of a simple, well-constructed schoolhouse for the Negro children, where they can be taught. The schoolhouse has been called. When they have received this rudimentary education they will be equipped for business if that shall be prepared to enter an industrial school like that at Hampton or at Tuskegee. Or should they desire a professional education serve as a basis for this.
"Although I have always felt a deep interest in every effort made by the prosecution in the education of the Southern Negroes for I think that is the cause which should attract assistance from all parts of the country, and that the interest in the work of Hampton and of Tuskegee, because I have been acquainted with the presidents of those two institutions, should be taught the dignity of labor and the skill, the use of the mind and the application of the hand. They have learned without taking pains, without attention, without taking pains, without restraint as progress can be made by either a man or a nation. Although Tuskegee does a university to furnish the higher mental education to a people not ready to enjoy it or make it useful, he would not do the advantage of higher education in the Southern Negroes, but he effort was to add to the door of opportunity to the Negro in any vocation whether professional or manual, but he effort was to add to the Negro race for its uplifting.
"I am not one of those who find ground for this discouragement when I look at the Civil War. A review of that history justifies the statement that great progress advanced along sound educational, industrial and economic lines, and the leading white men of the South, to whom it is important to have welcomed the efforts of Booker Washington and have given him their sympathy and their support in this testimony from the president of Tuskegee, and I have it from many of my students. I know that the white men who can do most for the good of the Nero, who can aid him in his effort to better his material and white men who are his neighbors, but the men like Booker Washington and Dr. Friend, and the others who are leading the assistance of the leading white men of the South. They need and they should be in every section of the country. I "sincerely hope the generous example of the donor of the denies (fund may be) the assistance of others to assist this splendid cause."

Hustling young men are sad nods to the fact that most of them are not being the follow that is letting out of the window looking for a good time to play.

RIDGEWOOD.
RIDGEWOOD, N. J., June 17—The town of Ridgewood is situated on the main street miles from New York city, and twenty miles from New York city, and a population of about 5,000. Of this number about 452 are colored people, among women and men, and many branches of industry, as well as owners of considerable real estate in the most prominent sections of the town.
Owing to its proximity to the great metropolis, its location and natural beauty, Ridgewood is fast becoming the city of three towns: the New York and Taxcelo; and the capital influx of rich New York families is likewise swallowing the colored population. In the three towns his numbers be white and colored have a little more than doubled.
Some years ago the A.M. E. Zion church of Ridgewood succeeded in establishing itself here, with the assistance of one Rev. Anderson, now deceased. The growth of the place, succeeded in establishing more than justified the wisdom of the church's founders.
Today the standard of church life is this: it is the moral one of our people. Rev. J. R. Hungerfield, the pastor in charge, is a very able man, and seems thoroughly devoted to his work. Already his power as an organizer is being felt throughout our community. Since he seems to carry his people so well, we have here in the near future. We have now formulated plans for a new church edifice and all the available forces are being used to ensure the success of our church property, it is the desire of some of the opposite race to oppose our efforts. This is unfortunately true, and we say we have these matters well in hand.
Recently the pastor delivered a lecture an audience and hurried on "The Hurdles." In music it was strongly treated. The lecture was given under the amphilee of the Junger-Reynolds management of Miss Ellen Robinson and Miss Ruth Cook. It was the club's first lecture given by a young ladies for their skill and energy. Rozzier J. Johnson.

Bave and girls in the blue uniform of the Home for Destitute Afro-American Children, little pinched faces and twisted bodies that came from the St. Michael's and All Angels Home for Cripples, evelevated by the air of the homeless, were gathered up in big motor cars and whirled away from in front of the Hotel Majestic on Wednesday, what was in all reality a day of Paradise. The celebration held in Philadelphia was only a part of the initial observance that is to be a part of the year's programme of the American Voters' Association. The first meeting of the St. Michael's "from this time forth and forever." Two years ago the motor deniers and manufacturers in New York began to give spring outings to the poor children of that city. And this year begins the formal observance of the second Wednesday, day in June as "children's day" for the A. A. all-or-the-country, in the taking of the day. "It makes you think of the way you are," "It makes you fifteen years younger just to see them; if the youngsters have half so good a time out of this as we do there" he came happy little hears in Philadelphia to-night. You mustn't think we are just giving the children a good time. "We're having the best sort of fun ourselves, Mr. Michael," said Mr. George, with one heartache.

When they had arrived there several philanthropic citizens had provided an ample
lunchies, and Willow Gowen managers had made a rule of "open house" to all the museum visitors, to allow all the visitors a start for a round of surprise such as in their little lives name of them had ever before, dreamed of. The bungalow alley, the mirror room, the mirror room, the laughing galleries and the moving pictures room all visited in turn, and they have had more enthusiastic and more too timid to take a ride in the airships, but those who did not are likely to ever forget the experience. The time they were there was the little people. On the faces of some may have been traces of regret, but they had had such a "arrest time" that it was hard to believe. And, anyway, they still had the ride "home" in the big touring car. And as each little one was assigned in the car, they were invited to the replay, And invariably came the replies, "Just bully," "Fine," "We had a great time."

BRUTAL NEW YORK POLICE
USE VOLUNTE IN RAIDS
Doorn, Windows and Hoods Sumbled Regiment—Prisoners Held for Court.
Deputy Police Commissioner Hannen began before midnight Saturday night a series of raids in West 134th street that will probably be the largest dragnet haul the police have ever made. Fifteen warrants were used in raiding as many places and hundreds of prisoners were taken. Patrol warrants from most of the upown precincts were summoned to cart away the prisoners, and the streets adjacent to them were searched from all parts of Halleen to see what was going on.
Most of the prisons were Nexxus dives. Most were old dwelling homes in which restaurants or cites had been set up on the first floors.
The raiding party formed at Lafayette Avenue, at 134th street, where on a subway train. There were about fifty policemen in citizen clothes that start upown. At 135th street, where by met more men from police headquarters. Waiting here were also the two automobiles of Commissioners Hughes and another man with axes, crowders and other raiding implements. In anticipation of trouble all of the policemen carried revolvers and Leaving the subway and getting their supply of battering instruments, the raiders pulled on Loney avenue to 134th street. The first place visited was at 80 East 134th street. The men before reaching here divided into nine separate squads and started out for some objective point.
Commissioner Hughes said that Impressio had the right to arrest the rafters wired inside, and Clip. Richman, in charge of the precinct, knew of the conditions up there and should be "numerous complaints have come to police headquarters about the conditions sent men to investigate. They got plenty of evidence. The warrants we secured disdorable houses and drove violations. The place was a perfecting of vice." Commissioner Hanford said: "Decent Headquarters making complaint about the disgraceful conditions. (We hope by making these sweeping attempts to purify
CHICAGO, June 18—"Thistled money?" Away with it! This is no fiction. Your correspondent is prepared to furnish facts, figures and circumstance of a real case of money being refused by a plaus colored woman because the donors were unable to give a certificate of cleanliness from the taint of frivolity. The correspondent received a neighborhood there dwelling a plaus Afro-American woman who has made for herself the good name of loving her fellow man, because of her many deeds of love and kindness. She has gathered up the unfortunate, orphaned and neglected children of the neighborhood and founded a protection against the vicious influences of the alley and unhappy and neglected their houses early in the morning for their day's work confide their little ones in the care of this little neighborhood mother.
She patiently and cheerfully carried on all this work as a labor of love. She helped her good works. She was loved and trusted by everybody, but she trusted alone in the good way to carry forward good work. She was good. Much trust is always essential to good words, but our patient slater was more careful than her highlander do not always come in response to pressing material needs. The time came when this noble woman was emancipated from her landlord who demanded rent money. An her work increased, the means for carriage increased, and her income increased. Still her faith was boundless, and in her goal she felt sure that the Lord will provide. But sometimes the way his wonders to perform."
Some of our society ladies chanced to hear of the splendid work of this self-sacrificing benefactress and revolved to do something in order to relieve her from an increasing 25th-century William Emanuel, the very well-known ex-minister of the state, ranked for. The affair came off in one of the leading society club rooms. It was a dream of loveliness and beauty. Such music! such flowers! such gowns! and such patiently waiting automobiles!
When it was all over these good ladies counted up ninety dollars as the net income of the house, and the sum of all the money of these gracious ladies was appointed to take the money to this anxious nursery mother, and with suitable rhetoric make the presentation in the name of sweet charity. The whole thing seemed "just too lovely for anything." The ladies went, and with them went also the ninety-one, with dollars for each other's the occasion and full of the sweet spirit of charity. When the pretty presentation ceremony was over, and the moment of pleased acceptance, as planned for, arrived imagine the surprise and charm of the committee when the humble and needily beneficent firmly and tearfully filled in her work, but as the young lady was raised was raised by the frivolous pastime of dancing, and as she had been summarized she could neither touch the money herself nor allow it to be accepted for those under her charge. The committee was speechless! Here was something in the way of the new, unexpected, very only, and not except money, though else due, and not accent more enough to relieve present pressure and insure the continuance of the work!
Churches, charity and other needy organizations, are well gasping in astonishment at the fact that a single concerned woman refusing money so plainly needed, because it was tainted. Such martyrdry to truth and mankind manifested itself in this way in this city. To many of this punctiliousness on our part, ample apprehensions colored money will seem less painful. Yet it is refreshing to record this touch of heroism and devotion of this woman, who will seem the unyielding position of this woman should bring to her many friends who will be glad to stand by her in her future, some sacrifice and much consolation is not apt to go far in its benefice. In these closing days of college and university, she will be here and there the usual display of American prejudice. Out at the Northeastern University in Evanston the other day she insisted not notice to the faculty that they did not want their names printed with those of the new colored students she had insisted not notice to the faculty that the faculty was running that institution as soon as that the attention would be given.

Political Slavery of the White South.
From The New York Evening Post.
Attempts to raise in the South a banner under which the Democratic opponents of Bryan may rally, are more pathetic than promising. People cannot so soon forget that it was the South which made Bryan in 1800 and brought about his renomination in 1800. In those years as today, the argument was heard that Southern statesmen are typically conservative; that they do not rush off after each new whimsey which arises; and that their are bound, above all, to eling to the old ideas about honest money and the old tariffs.
As so many times since the war, the South refused to consider political questions on their merit; and under its obsession of two fear went to the support of the Democratic party, no matter who its candidate or what its principles might be. Bryan knows perfectly well that the phenomenon will be repeated in 1808, if the occasion calls for it. Hence he need not feel the slightest misgirings over the movement to detach Southern support from him. It may make a temporary show of success, but if Bryan refines control of the Democratic machine, and makes himself the nominee next year, he may confidently count upon the vote of the solid South; with or without his pet issue of the nationalization of railroads. Until the Southern people cease to see everything black, they can have but one political party.
NEW HAVEN, June 18—A big and enthusiastic male meeting was held in Fulton Auditorium, last Wednesday night, under the management of the constitution league of the United States, in which Secretary of War William H. Taft was dressed as an enemy to the rate, and expressed their gratitude to Senator Joseph B. Foraker for his efforts in behalf of the Afro-American soliders, alleged to have been concerned in the Brownville riot. The mayor of the city, Mr. Hammond, wrote: "B. Hammond, general secretary of the constitution league; W. A. Gisclair, field secretary of the constitution league; and J. P. Peaker, city, who made the opening address."

The governing board of an educational institution for colored people in Wash. has announced that as well as amused recently when he responded to an advertisement inserted by them in the local papers they received the follow-
"Gentlemen! I notice your adment yesterday for a pianist and teacher, either white or colored, for three years I offer my services."
BURNET, Texas, June 13—In French we say "Une quantité nightly," a body or man must not be considered. In the South the man of Afro-Americans come under that heading. They are a body of American citizens whose welfare, progress and protection are subordinated to their white neighbors.
The executive, legislative and judicial branches are wedded to the subordination of the Abra Americans to the white. They are composed of a reserve of polish, and culturally conform to the decency of civilized alphabetic languages, the necessary incubation and colloquial ingestion.
The last class, I think, need more clearly the trend of events than their aristocratic past. It is in part due to the advancement of Afro-Americans along the lines of education and opportunities for the acquisition of property in a decade or two they will be in a civilization always bring, and to dialogue them, put them back to their condition prior to 18th, would be impossible. Now, to sort propose by judicial means "to shut the door of hope" in the Afro-America's face. That is in the reason he and his friends are going up and down the earth to find the pensions and presidency of the rabbi.
The more polished white think that they can keep the Afro-American down inferior by disfranchisement laws, vagrancy laws and their unfair enforcement, keep a system of caste based on racial lines and landed property, yet permitting him to receive medical care in a little stock and frown down on mob violence and lynch law, which they were in fast drifting into a disregard and contempt of all law.
The conservative aristocratic class, being blind, are the aristocracy of liberties, the intellectual and political liberty and equality before the law and the highest conception of personal responsibility to clean and create imprisonery, are working towards an impossible end, for in free American there can be sovereignty, nor sovereignty, free and equal under the law. There is a fish. I think called the ink fish, from his habit of discharging a dark blood, from his habit of insurrection, from his adversary cannot see him, on the Afro-American's cascade set on the ink fish—so sophistic and misconstrued to confound civil and political equality with social equality, one pertaining to inherent rights, the other to the private tastes.
Here in Burret County, we have a colony of farmers named Oatman. Nearly 60 percent of them own their own nine-tracts have little homes, and at Marble Falls, since I organized their school six years ago, are where they live. We have given them an equal chance: We now have readers, writers, embryo mathematicians, some of the pupils know, and we give them a better life in world in which they live; they plant fruit trees, have flowers, some stock, organic pianos, pianists, sewing machines and a better life; in fact, there is a steady improvement. Our isolation, small numbers and strong racial prejudiced surrogates progress, we have much to be thankful for, and are optimistic to a degree. I teach and broach progress, morals, thrift material salvation and a love of home and family. Most of our people here are familiar through my talks with the aims of our school, our conscience, our thought taught by them, Washington, Fortune, Duluth and others. Our advancement in art, science, commerce, the arts, farming, ranches, our churches, schools our banks—all these things, with pictures of home life among better element among incentives to a higher and better life.

BENNINGMAN, June 11.—The election of officers for the district organization was completed this morning at the annual convention of Abhams District No. 28. United Mine Workers of America, United Mine Workers of the executive board were selected and two white and one Negro member of the district meeting board were elected.
Three delegates, one of them a Negro, to the State Federation of Labor convention in Amiston next year, were chosen.
When the convention was called to order this morning Secretary J. L. Chase announced that the district president, J. R. Kemmerger, had been selected with unanimous approval. Physicians were invited and though he recovered some few hours, he was unable to attend the meeting.
B. L. Greer, the Negro vice-president, promised at 10:30 a.m.
An effort was made to get the district organization to make an appropriation toward the fund being raised to erect a handmade monument over the grave of John Lament, a miner who had much to do with the organizing of the union in this State. After some discussion the matter was settled and the national number was W. R. Fairley, leading the discussion and engrossing that all concerns of the district organization be pursued only for regular purposes.
A similar decision was arrived at when a movement was started to pay expenses to witnesses who were losing time in the damage cases against a company in whose mines an explosion had occurred and a down man had been killed in a mining accident. Edward Flynn, for six terms president of the district organization, was at the meeting this afternoon and promised to deliver an address before the convention Wednesday. Mr. Flynn is now one of the two assistant State mine inspectors. A delegate upon meeting Mr. Flynn address the convention, asked that in the future in making an inspection of the mine that the inspector should inspect the mines in the mines instead of just to those headmasters as escorted by officials of the company.
Mr. Flynn presented this by saying that he was not a subject before the convention to which the presiding officer acquiesced and called the delegate to order, and added to the form a president will permit beating him, what the union miners can accomplish by giving every attention to their work, the speaker having visited all but three of the coal mines in this State in which union labor is employed. He has made many notes as to the work being done in the union labor and will make a statement to deductions looking to the preservation of life and property.

To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE:
The writer was pleased to note in your last week's issue the delightful letter of the busy Mr. Emmett J. Scott, touching upon Cole and Johnson and other stage folk. Both because Mr. Scott is a very interesting writer and because he places so near the industrial and installation effort, he may be said to voice the sentiment of his associates, which I have doubt be does.
Messrs. Cole and Johnson have won success by deserving it, and as Mr. Scott has mentioned, a work of incalculable value is being done by our list of notable actors and composers in dissipating preconceived notions as to Negro ability. It would seem to devolve upon our Afro-American educators, their power to prepare the preconceived of propriety which prevents many of our people from more substantially encouraging and themselves enjoying the delightful and wholesome entertainment provided by these gentlemen. We progress with age and whatever is good and elevating in any line should receive the proper commendation from those who seek to direct moral and religious fare. The argument is that valuable entertainment is launched from the stage is getting to be pretty generally understood among all people, and we can not afford to let an ancient prejudice stand in the way to such a delightful avenue of knowledge as that opened by the aggregation of talent that Mr. Scott names in his letter. I was not at all surprised at the letter of Mr. Scott, very delightfully that his comments so full and timely, and, ammunition on deserving.

BERLIN, June 8—Most interesting facts regarding a strange Abyssinian Hebrew race are supplied me by Pastor Roden, the Spanish missionary, who has come to Berlin to revive the existing Abyssinian version of the Bible on behalf of the British Foreign Bible Society. "Abyssinian Hebrews are the darkest descendants of the original children of Israel," said Mr. Roden, "and are the most unique racial phenomenon that Africa presents. Although colored, they possess all the national Hebrew characteristics, facial peculiarities and economic tendencies. They are regarded contemptuously by the Abyssinians proper authorities, and they are exposed to exclusive trade pursuits.
It is curious, however, that although adhering to the Jewish religion in every particular, they have totally outgrown the Hebrew language; neither do they show any inclination to affiliate themselves with the Hebrews in any other part of the world. So far as a matter of fact, they have no anypathy whatever with the Zionist movement for the establishment of an independent Jewish State in Palestine."
Pastor Roden declares missionary life in Abyssinia presents peculiar difficulty. There is not only a greater prejudice against the foreign preacher than in almost any other country of the East, but the religious cults of Abyssinia are difficult to reform, for the reason that they are heathens. Their form of worship includes the remnants of Christianity that have come down from the fourth century, but have been hurried to an unrecognizable extent under outer layers of Mohammedianism and forms of idolatry.
Pastor Roden asserts that the progressive Emperor-Meneke is personally well disposed toward missionaries, and if allowed his own way would permit them to occupy his own office. Abyssinian Pope, exercises a powerful influence over his Majesty and insists that missionaries remain in disgrace.
Germany's friendly advances to Abyssinia have, according to Pastor Roden, been heartily welcomed. The Kaiser's gifts of automobiles and German beermaking machinery have created great popular satisfaction. Arrangements are now being made for the new chanies and artisans representing the various trades to settle in Meneleks domain for the purpose of teaching the natives industrial arts.

A Leader When There Is No Dunger,
From The Atlanta Independent.
It is a rather interesting commentary upon the quality if the leadership of some of the boasted and self-appointed Negro leaders to note that in all the work of reconstruction going on here in Atlanta, since the unfortunate murders of last September, our entwilbe friend, Dr. DuBois, has no shown up to do with the work of restoration of normal conditions. We have been reading Mr. Ray Stannard Baker's articles, dealing with conditions at Atlanta, but while mention is made of all the names of the prominent Negro suffragette who are at work restoring the situations, this loud-lunged reform shows nowhere.
It is only proof of what we have known, that he was no force whatever in the racial and civic life of Atlanta, but we did not expect any such positive proof of it as is afforded by Mr. Baker's artistry. We have seen him in several months and studied conditions in all phases, met all the colored men who amount to anything, duly chronicled their worth and service; but as we suggest, there is not one word about this supposedly great genius who essays to lead a whole race of people when he has not, in his own local community; made a false enough to be even considered as a leader.
During all of the time that Mr. Inker was in the South and Atlanta, prosecuting the investigation, this "Great" leader was hid away from Atlanta, away down at Calhoun. Abu, ostensibly making a so-called study of work being carried on by white people, but doing nothing whatever to restore the courage of his own people, and absent from the ground even in directing Mr. Inker as to sources of information, etc. It would be pathetic, if it were not so disgusting, how these shams from time to time prove their own pretences worthless.

Close of Inquiry by the Senate Committee
No Case Made Out Against the Discharged Soldiers, Says the Senator
WARRINGTON, June 18—Senator Foraker will go to Cincinnati, arriving there Wednesday, and on Thursday will deliver an address at Wilberforce University, a Negro educational institution. In his speech he will handle the question responsibility for the Brownville affray. On Friday he will speak on railroad legislation before the National convention of the freight traffic agents at Put in Bay. He has an invitation to go to Toledo Saturday. The Senator will be kept busy with invitations for public speeches, some of them on political matters. While averse to discussing politics, Mr. Foraker showed a willingness to talk about the Brownville hearing before the Senate Committee on Military Affairs which closed last week. He has not been convinced by the testimony taken that the soldiers shot up the Three torn.
"My attention has just been called to the statement, published in a New York newspaper, and analysis of the testimony that has been taken in the Brownville investigation and setting forth the claim that the governor of the Twenty-fifth battalion did the shooting," said the Senator. "It is so grimly inaccurate and unjust that plain cases are being raised against the armed soldiers requires that something be said in answer, and inasmuch as I am more familiar with the testimony than anybody else this duty seems to fall off."
The testimony given by the soldiers in their own behalf is not in my opinion shaken by the testimony given by the citizens of Brownwood or Brownsville, but is a repetition of what was first taken by the citizens' committee and afterward more elaborately retaken by Mr. Purdy. No important item of new evidence has been brought forward against him, and the citizenry, Ninety per cent, of what the citizens have testified about had relation to matters over which there was no controversy. For instance, everybody conceded that the town was shot up; that somebody did not shoot through the streets and alley where the shooting was done, and that they had guns or revolvers or firearms of some sort and that one man was killed and another wounded. The only dispute is as to whether the caller identified as soldiers of the garron-
There are two kinds of evidence relied upon to show that the soldiers did it. One consists of shells and bullets that were thrown by the house of Brownville. The results of the microscopic inspection, interpreted in the light of the other testimony of the case completely disposed of this part of the evidence, and the other, that the people who claim to have been eyewitnesses to the shooting. This consists of statements by various people that when they heard the firing they looked at the gun and dark alleyes, where there were lights at distances varying all the way from 30 feet up to 150 feet, and recognized the men who were doing the firing and groove the uniform of United States soldiers.
"The officers of the battalion have testified generally and specifically as to the darkness of the night. By specifically I mean have given specific incidents coming within their personal experiences that illustrated to this testimony, in the language of Major Penrose, the night was so dark that he could not distinguish one of his officers, who were all white men, from one of his纵列 men, who were all colored, at a distance of a foot, not could have seen or tell anything how a man was dressed.
"All these officers have testified that the claims of the citizens who testified that they saw the raiders and recoq and under the circumstances stated by them are utterly impossible. These officers are intelligent, high-minded, honorable men. At one time, when the case was opus, partially the officers and frankly stated that their men were guilty, but that act only strengthens their testimony as they now give it that the testimony of the citizens, by which they claim, is unreliable, untrustworthy and by them unbelievable. "I do not know whether any more testimony will be taken and of course do not know, if any should be taken, just with propriety predict ultimate results, but I have no hesitation in saying that the testimony taken down to this time utterly fails; in my opinion, to show that the soldiers or any of them had anything to do with the shooting up of Brownville.
"In view of the statement in the New York newspaper in answer to which this whistle was given, I speak at Wilberforce next Thursday to deal with this subject at some length.
I thank editorially of the outcome of the inquiry The New York Sun says:
"Individual opinion of the results of the adjourned Brownville investigation will turn mainly on the question whether the establishment of a specific fact is established by a principle of justice. The point of fact remains practically where it was when the investigation was opened, practically where it was when the President issued his order for the investigation of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. So far as the question of justice is concerned the Senate investigation has demonstrated clearly that action was taken without sufficient evidence, to justify it, that the men were condemned and punished larger than suspicion and certainly without fair trial.
"Race, indict and political partisanship has a the most important feature in this remarkable society, which has been taken at best only inconclusive. Those who want to believe that the black soldiers were the offenders can find in the testimony of Brownson that they had no intention of killing them. Those who thought the guilt of the soldiers can find in the admitted statements an ample support of their views. Absolute proof either way is lacking in the testimony of clergy, but himself is connected with other testimony it has from convincing. The question of but the definite location of the offenders and terminated, and difficult to determine of absolute determination, both stories have now been told is little or nothing else contradiction. About all after this hearing might be said that
by soldiers than that it was committed by elephants. There remains another point. The aliens "compacency of aliens," the charge on which the black soldiers were dismissed from the service, has not been shown. If the charge is to stand it must be accompanied by an aggravation of charge, namely, that all of the men who have denied it are perjurers as well as liars, it seems probable that the case will be dropped next winter with the submission of majority and minority reports."

THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, JUNE 20. 1907
WASHINGTON TO HAVE TRAINING
AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
1900
THE TENTH ANNUAL
Summernight's Festival and Picnic
An effort is being made to establish in the District of Columbia a National Training and Industrial school for colored youth, both male and female. Principal grounds and school buildings to be located in the District of Columbia, thus making the institution National in its scope: In connection with the agricultural work of the school, it is planned to locate the school in the State of Maryland, at which dairying, poultry raising, brick making and the like will be carried on; the girls will be taught in all branches of domestic science, cooking, baking, saucing, dreaming, dreaming in history, institution will do work similar to that done by Dr. Booker T. Washington's school at Tuskegee, Ala., and by Hampton Institute at Hampton Va. The school will be located in the District of Columbia and callings as may be best quality the students to become self-supporting and independent citizens and, at the same time, enable them to be useful and helpful to the community. It will also send out special students to become self-supporting and intelligent missionary work in the District of Columbia and other communities. While the school shall be non-sectarian, it shall be conducted on temperance economy and religious teaching.
The plans for the establishment of the school have been under discussion for some time past; the project has the environment of Washington, and a fund of $50,000 is being raised with which to begin the work of the school in the fall of 1807. Among the students of the school is one of a thousand dollars by Exponent John B. Henderson. Dr. William E. Chancellor, superintendent of the school, described the District of Columbia, has stated, that the training and industrial school would do a much needed work in this community which can be accomplished by the public system. He also stated that the endorsement with a subscription of $100, the subscriptions of all persons desiring to contribute to the cause will be granted, and properly acknowledged from time to time.
A mass meeting will be held at Convention Hall Sunday afternoon, June 30. The plans of the school will be announced to the public, and for which meeting an elaborate musical program has been arranged and addressed will be delivered by the District of Columbia.
Rev. S. Gerich Lankins, pastor of Tenth Street Baptist church, corner Tenth Street, was born in Roanoke county, who has been for some time promoting the effort to establish a National training and industrial school in the District of Columbia, was born in Roanoke county, and founded the public schools of his native county: entered Howard University, Washington, W. C. in 1880; graduated from the University of South Carolina, said institution with the place of 1881; he has been a pastor in the Nation's capital city for more than 20 years, during which time he has served as secretary of the National Baptist Convention; vice-president and secretary of the Baptist Congress of the District of Columbia; he has served as a member of the National Baptist Convention; corresponding retainer of the executive board of the National Negro Young People's Christian and Educational Congress for the past ten years; member of the United States board of the Washington department of The Christian Hanner, a National Baptist newspaper published in Philadelphia, which made one of the United States' largest employers; he is a 33d-degree Mason, and a member of the Supreme Grand Council of the Southern and Western jurisdiction. With permission to this effort, Rev. Lankin said.
"There are about 100,000 colored people in the District of Columbia, and the great demand for well-trained domestic servants, skilled laborers, mechanized farm workers, etc., complements the need of such an institution, but makes a well-equipped industrial school one of the most commendable and desirable enterprises that can be projected for both the public and the community. While the National Training and Industrial Institute, in whose interest I am laboring, is designed for the benefit of colored boys and girls, its establishment here would be a public benefit, as well as a source of employment. The following are extracts taken from some of the letters of endorsement received by Rev. Lankin; From Hon. H. B. F. Macfarland, Comptroller, Commissioner, hours of every day to promote industrial training and particularly of your proposition which ought to do much good. Hon. H. L. West, Commissioner, District of Columbia, which is based upon honesty to include principles of industry ought to meet with universal approval. Hon. John Riddle, ex Commissioner of the District of Columbia, "I approve of the promotion of industrial training and essential sym
Dr. William E. Chanecor, superintendent public schools, District of Columbia, institution that you are prefecting. Oversee the life of the colored people should be of the highest value to the boys and girls. I trust you will be successful and shall be able to work with you. I may try to which my attention may be called. Hon. L. J. Morrows, captain of engineers, S. A., and engineer commissioner of the District of Columbia, so far as I am conversant with you, plans for an industrial school, I am glad to give them my approval." Hon. Robert N. Harper, president Washington National School, look upon industrial training schools, when properly run, as a most wise step in the right direction for improving the conditions, which you take advantage of. Hon. John M. Wilson, Brigadier-General, I. S. A., and president of Washington Board of Trade. I trust that you will be able to enter the enterprise you are about to initiate, namely, the establishment of a National Training and Industrial Institute for the colored boys and girls in the District of Columbia.
Hon. D. W. Baker, U. S. District Attorney for the District of Columbia "In my opinion the industrial department of the city should be responsible for your people and be conductive in their general welfare." Dr. Charles W. Needham, president George Washington University "I consider the industrial department of the industrial training for all classes of poplips; therefore I am glad to approve your proposition for industrial education on the District of Columbia, under the Industrial School for the children of the coloured race." Rev. Samuel H. Greene, pastor Calvary Hall in Washington "The Training and Habilitation Institute in the District of Columbia, proposed by Rev. S. G. Lamkins, commends itself to us in every way desirable and procured by the Lamkins to be worthy of confidence and to be Dr. D. J. Stafford pastor St. Patrick's Catholic Church: "Your project of starting an industrial school where the Negro youth may be taught the mechanical arts in compartment. It seems to me that

Jamestown Exposition Denounced.
CAMMUNISH, June 18. At the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Burgess, grandparents, the infant son, Bradley Rowen Smith, age six months, of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Smith, was christened Sunday at 1:20 p.m. at 210 Broadway, by Rev. F. R. G. Snelson. At the church street, was frightened briefly Friday while working at the cool vards. Also Mr. Edward C. Smith, St. Harvard street, is very ill. For the entertainment of the Niagara Movement convention here in August, Mr. Burgess, with G. W. Forbes and a levy of ladies, gave an operetta in Cambridge last Saturday and Monday in which 200 children participated. It was highly creditable to all parties construed. Mr. Morgan, State secretary, pream of the whole affair, has an interest appreciation to all who assisted. Theodore Drury and Daisy Allen are sweeping our metropolitan district just now with great recitals in Chelsea, on Monday and at Union Baptist church, Cambridge. Cambridge Charity Club hold a large annual meeting at the residence of Mrs. Williams on Norfolk street last Monday night, and elected officers for the new president, for the new year.
Rev. Dr. Jesse Harrell is in Newark, N. L. as vice president of the New England and Baptist Convention, Rev. Dr. James H. W. Norwich, Conn. his new charge, and has been supervised here by Rev. W. H. Tayler from the New York Conference. The charge was expected, and the subject of a lecture Wednesday night, June 26, at St. Paul A. M. E. church by the Rev. Dr. Ranson. It is a feature of a grand musical concert in which several ministers and wives are invited, and tables are Mrs. Muriel Brown Mrs. E. M. Cotton, Mrs. Hattie Davis, Mrs. Martha Dawsey, Mrs. L. L. Burrows and Mrs. N. A. Hunt. The event will be ground, the admonished Cambridge Men's Form Sunday on the "Jamestown Exposition" Attitude to Afro-Americans." The discussion was heated and among the talkers were J. L. Burrows and Mrs. N. A. Hunt, others. The point was made that not even Massachusetts Negroes are allowed accommodations in their own State building at Jamestown. We need the cleansing influences of another Civil War to help alter other measures of the Negro problem.
Dr. Snelson made another payment on St. Paul church debt Saturday, June 15, in the presence of Brothers Ibrahim and the Mennonite Friendship Church, and received the mortgage papers which have been reduced from $14,700 a year to $7,000, now the face of the new mortgage. The financial struggle has been tough and hard, but all matters are right. The Mennonites will come near paying the interest paid each year, leaving all raily receipts to cut down, the seventh-thousand-dollar mortgage. M. C. O'Neill of Allston, and Mrs. Wilkins, her sister-in-law from Snurtanlring S. C., were guests at service at St. Paul church Sunday, and they attended the Men's Forum exercises also.

Political Truths.
The Hon. Harry C. Smith and other prominent Afro-Americans in the State of Ohio are making a determined campaign against the aspirations of the Hon. William Howard Taft to get the endorsement of Ohio for the Republican nomination for President. They want the Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker to have the endorsement. Very well. The right of every American citizen to know what he wants and hustle to get it is sucked into his blood from his mother's breast. But it looks very much as if the Hon. William Howard Taft has won the endorsement of Ohio as its "favorite son." In that case what will the Hon. Harry C. Smith and other prominent Afro-Americans in the State of Ohio do about it? And if the National Republican Convention should nominate him for President, what then? And what applies to Secretary Taft in these questions applies also to President Rosevelt.
We shall have few Afro-American votes, as the crow flies, in the next National Convention, and if we take past experience as our guide, they will vote as they are told to and not as they want to, and when the matter comes to be decided at the ballot box the Afro-Americans of Ohio and all over will vote for the candidates and policies of the Republican party.
It is of general interest that Secretary William Howard Taft felt that he could not well shirk the duty imposed upon him by the request that he serve as a trustee of the Jeanes fund, that he will devote much of his time to the proper work of the board, and that he has a good opinion of the Afro-American people and the progress they have made since the war. In order that our readers may get at the views of Secretary Taft on this whole matter we reproduce in another column of The Art to day an interview with him given to The New York Warning Post through it. Washington correspondent. As this is the first pronouncement by Secretary Taft of any sort on the Afro-American question that we have seen it will have added, interest, especially, a view of the fact that he is a conspicuous appointee the Presidential nomination to succeed President Roosevelt.
A few Afro-American newspapers have expressed dissatisfaction at the selection of Secretary Taft as a trustee of the Jeanes fund, as we have already intimated; taking the ground that he is unfriendly to the Afro-American people and aceing Dr. Washington of playing politics in making the selection. The Washington Bee has the following to say on the subject:
A man who has no thought of his own is unfit to be at the head of anything. Mr. Taft not excepted. Any man who has acted as Mr. Taft has not the man to disburse funds to colored people. Mr. Washington knows, as well as the editor of The Bee, that the President and his Secretary of War are inimical to the colored Americans. Mr. Washington knows that Secretary of War Taft is objectionable to the colored Americans. Mr. Washington will discover before long that the appointment of Mr. Taft is not appreciated by the colored Americans, no matter if he has been made the custodian of the funds to be distributed for educational purposes among the Southern colored people. The Bee has a right to criticise the acts of Mr. Washington as well as anyone else, when he does something to warrant criticism. The Bee has said heretofore that it will support Mr. Washington when he is right and condemn him when he is wrong and small or great, rich or poor. The Bee wants it distinctly understood that it commends the educational work at Tuskegee, but it will not be a party in defending any man who attempts to humiliate the colored Americans, no matter if it is the king.
It is unfortunate that politics should be brought into this question of the Jeanes fund. All fair-minded persons will believe that in selecting the trustees Dr. Washington and Dr. Frissell acted for what they thought best for the interests concerned.
Secretary Taft is, after Dr. Washington, the most conspicuous member of the board. If anybody thinks that Secretary Taft does not think for himself he thinks so in ignorance of the man; if anybody thinks Secretary Taft is "imimited to the colored Americans" he is badly mistaken. We know that President Roosevelt is just as good a friend to the Afro-American people as he ever was, and Secretary Taft, in consenting to act as a trustee of the Jeanes' fund and in the published expressions of his reproduced in The Aer. to-day, shows that far from being "inimical" he is highly interested in the race and appreciative of what it has and is accomplishing.
We believed at the time that President Roosevelt made a mistake in the
would William Cabrin Chan have stood by his chief or resigned from the Cabinet? That is in the only fair way to look at the question. We condemned the President and the Secretary for the order and their attitude at it, because we do not believe in the launch theory of punishing the guilty with the innocent, and we stand by all that we have said on the question; but we do not believe that the President or the Secretary acted as they did because the soldiers in question happened to be Afro-American instead of some other hyphenated sort of Americans; it would be impossible to believe either of them guilty of any such "inimicable" feeling. And we believe the Afro-American people will approve of the trustee board of the Jeanes fund as Dr. Washington and Dr. Frissell have constituted it, and candor compels the expression that the board is as strong in its several units as it is possible to make it.
Resolving the Refranchise
It is a fair statement of the case that all of the troubles which have overtaken the railroads of the country, beginning with drastic legislation by the Congress and ending with like action by the several States, were brought about by the corrupt and arbitrary action of railroad managers, who for years defied the public and defended needed reforms by buying legislatures and politicians and controlling the best legal talent and newspapers. Time was, and not long ago, when the great railroads carried most of the State governments in their vast pockets. Then the capital of railroads was arbitrarily inflated in order to make vast fortunes for the Fisks, Gould, Vanderbilt, and the rest, out of the gullibility of the public.
Reform in all directions in the management of railroad property was bound to come, but for years those interested looked to the Democratic party to bring it about. If President Roosevelt had not gone outside of the platform declarations of the Republican party, taking all of the railroad arguments away from Mr. Eryan, it is reasonable to suppose that the Democratic party would have sooner or later been entrusted with the work of reform. That it would have made an utter failure of the task goes without saying, as competency in legislation and administration is not one of the possessions of the Democratic party in National or State affairs.
When once the public had not started upon the work of correcting railroad abuses—and President Roosevelt started it, although no one thought that he would do anything of the sort—the politicians in the several States, responding to what they considered the popular demand, began to legislate against the railroads on their own account, and in many instances neither wisely nor well for the public or the railroads. Indeed, the whole subject should be left to the Federal Governments, in order to avoid infinite confusion and Excuse there are and can be no State railroads, as such; they are all interstate, doing interstate service as trunk lines or as feeders for trunk lines.
When the popular feeling on the whole subject is considered the recent action of Governor Hughes in vetoing the two-cent fare bill adopted by the New York Legislature was not only a just but a very courageous action, which public opinion appears to approve, as the legislation was made without proper accretion of the capitalization, income and expenditure of the railroads of the State. The Governor of Pennsylvania approved a similar measure, because the public demanded it. But all such legislation is bad unless based upon the facts and the equities in the case. Railroads are as necessary as air and water, and while they should be properly regulated, preferably by the Federal Government, in any event they should not be dealt with except in the broadest fairness.
Strong Body of Literature Needed
The Afro-American people are very weak in their newspapers, magazine and book literature. On this account they do not reach and affect the public opinion of the country as they should and as the nature of their position requires. Strong newspapers and magazines cannot be had without general financial support of them. This the race has not given and does not give them.
And it has become a problem with publishers of Afro-American newspapers that a large part of the support they do receive must be based upon a sort of hot news and gossip purely personal in character which adds nothing whatever to the gaiety or the information of mankind and will not even engage a moment of the time and investigation of the historians of the future. The columns of our newspapers are loaded down with such matter of ephemeral or no interest except to those immediately concerned, while the larger questions of politics, religion, literature and material conditions have to be left unreported and undiscussed. The average reader is responsible for this bad condition, as the average publisher is bound to give the average reader what he wants and is willing to pay for. We are striving to place The Aik on a higher plane, to make it a mirror of the intellectual, religious, political and material condition and adaptation of the people, but it is uphill work.
In literature outside of the newspapers and magazines, we have spent an inexpensive amount of time and effort in the investigation of a kind of literature
THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY JUNE 20. 1907.
which has no intrinsic value—elaborate discussions of religion in its many controversial but non-informative aspects, imperfect history, ethnology, the woes of the race—the whole presented in a dry, dust way, with no humor in it, little of subtle ridicule and sarcasm—just a long wait or a dogmatic contention over accepted facts on which no new light can be thrown.
The autobiographical work of Frederick Douglas will always be interesting but we shall always regret that he did not write a history of the anti-slavery conflict. Dr. Washington has given us a good number of books which have had a popular sale and a helpful influence, but his attitude of thought is distinctively autobiographical in character, "Up From Slavery" being and will remain we believe, his best work. Dumbar's work was lyrical in character and reflected Negro faith and feeling rather than Afro-American thought and aspiration. Charles W. Chesnutt represents this latter phase in a high and noble way. His work has a strain of fidelity to high ideals and aspiration after the best, with sufficient historical basis to give his work a permanent place in American literature. "The Marrow of Tradition" being one of the strongest and best historical novels produced in the past decade; but the Afro-American people know little of his work; they have not given him a reading constitutory, without which the author has small standing with the publisher. And the same is true, as far as the last conclusion goes, with the work of Sutton E. Griggs. His readers are few, while his work is uniformly strong and healthy, his "Imperio ad Imperium" being a powerful novel, full of the fire of genius and calculated to provoke revolution, if the people treated off and appealed to were not sunk in stupid conservatism that smells loudly of ignorance and cowardice, two crimes of head and heart which will drag any race into a condition of contempt and degradation. How many readers of Titre Act ever heard of Sutton E. Griggs?
Dr. W. E. DuBois has written one good book, "The Soul of Black Folk," a lamentation with much of poetry in it, and he has written some good magazine stories; but in fiction and verse, we believe, he could produce higher, better and more helpful work than he has done. The Afro-American people need strong newspapers, magazines and books to properly meet the intellectual antagonism which systematically assails them, but they cannot have them unless they pay for them. We have done and are doing what we can to stimulate the intellectual aspirations of the Afro-American people, while furnishing them in the publication of THE AGE the best newspaper the resources at our command will permit.
Strange as it may be regarded, the Democrats of the South appear to be turning away from William Jennings Bryan, who has been their idol for so many years that it began to look as if they would have no other while he was alive. The New York Sun is helping to fetch about the undoing of Mr. Bryan in the South; but Mr. Bryan has himself to blame for his possible undoing. The Southern Democrats are horribly conservative, due largely to their ignorance and provincialism, but when Mr. Bryan advocated government ownership of railroads and dropped that because it proved too hot for the initiative and referendum program, which has also proved a failing issue to catch popular favor, the intelligent Democrats of the South began to sit up and take note. Reaction was started, and it may get sufficient headway to defeat Mr. Bryan and his policies in the next Democratic National Convention. But the talk of nominating a Southern Democrat for President, and such a one as Hoke Smith of Georgia, is enough to make a wooden injun grin.
In the last number of The North American Review Mr. Stephen Bonsall writes fluently and from a Southern white man's viewpoint of "The Negro Soldier in Peace and War." In war Mr. Bonsall thinks he is all right, but in peace all wrong. He recites all of the rowdyism of which black soldiers have been guilty since their regiments were organized, but does not touch at all on the provocation for such wrongdoings. The New York Sun pertinently points out that black soldiers are no more prone to rowdyism than white soldiers. But there will be rowdyism on the part of black soldiers whenever they are treated as enemies, by the people among whom they are stationed for the time being. The American civilian has little respect for the uniform of the army or navy, which is a freak of unpatriotism not found in any other free people. The black soldier when treated right is all right in peace and war.
Labor union leaders order strikes so often and with so little cause that business men can never figure on where they will come out on any contract engagement they enter into. Every State should have an arbitration board with arbitrary powers to settle every dispute that arises between organized labor and capital, in which the general public is concerned. The present condition is barbarous to the last degree.
The death of Senator John Tyler Morgan of Alabama removes from public life one of the oldest and most interesting characters. In war and in peace he was a consistent opponent of the right of the Afro-American people. On all questions teaching the national well be wiser on the wrong than the right side.
The college graduates of the year now face problems more difficult to solve than any that best them awake in mastering the mysteries of learning. They have our best wishes.
I notice in current discussion running through the colored gren expressions of four lie Howard University should take on the character of an industrial school, a school of industrial school selection of Dr. Boomer P. Washington as a member of the trustee board. In as far as this discussion has been excited by those whose only stock in store is the industrial school, the controversy is not the outcome of an inevitable propensity to protect. The merit of the question are wholly aside from personal considerations. The battle between good and evil is in the minds of those who have no clear conception of either. And yet men who lay claims to good sense will lash themselves into fury over Carolina. I have no good sense to Carolina. I have no good sense to ourselves in the bitterest controversial battle over the proposition as to whether air or water is of greater importance to occupied both industrial and higher education, as complementary parts of racial equipment, and was roundly denounced in certain quarters as wanting in pedagogy, which was viewed that unless I stood for the one or the other I would be branded as a double-minded man, who is unstable in all his ways. At the expense of such a man, I believe in this attitude. I believe firmly in its proper place and proportion.
But while I not only believe in, but avowedly advocate, all modes of education, of various needs, aptitudes, indications, and opportunities, yet I am firmly convinced that different phases of education cannot be conducted under the same auspices. Knowledge must have its definite aim and goal. Howard University was chartered as an institution for the education of youth in the liberal arts and sciences, and it mounts below this level it loses its distinct place and function in the educational world. In the nature of the case, it is made of Howard an industrial school. In the first place an industrial school must of necessity administer mainly to all of the community in which it is located.
Howard University is not a local but National institution. It serves no local need below the grade of the college where professional education is emphasized of Washington University. It is the simplest institution for the primary, secondary and manual training of all its children. If the university should devote all of its resources to the high and Latin schools of Boston and Cambridge, it would be a success, application and waste of effort. The subject is great city, and especially one with limited means, is to keep beyond, or at least outside of, the range of public instruction. Whenever Howard University emphasizes any department of work below the high school level, it invites discretionary comparison.
In the second phase, Washington city is not an industrial center. No one is apt to become industriated with the spirit of manual work amid the political atmosphere of the National capital. The institutions and powers of the American bay. The youth in Texas, with soul athlete for knowledge, lords for Howard University, as a hart for the water brook; and his spirit leaps within him at the name of a nation. But. Should be find out that it is merely a place where boys are taught to mend shoes and make bricks, his extinction would soon turn to disgust. In confrontation of this view, I have only to appeal to the experiences of the twelve years that have been attracted to this great seat of learning at Washington.
In the third place, the colored people of the National Capital have practically domestic services. Should the university enter upon industrial activity, to be of practical value, it must in the nature of a better and more efficient, domestic servants. This is a work which soily needs to be done under suitable and appropriate conditions, illustrated by the National Government for the liberal education of youth, to devote its resources to the department of pots for the gods and men.
In the fourth place, there is neither demand nor expectation in any important direction that Howard University should become an industrial school. Congress has clear understanding that it is the National university for the colored race devoted to higher and professional education. No philanthropist during the Civil War would have supported institutions with this end in view. There are of course, some people who can never think of the Negro outside the domain of domestic service. These always expect to be treated with whatever grade or profession as a badge of racial inferiority. They are always looking for the apron as the Negro's professional badge. To persons thus predisposed, Howard University makes no answer to their request from the error of their way.
In the fifth place, the charter, the history, the traditions, the atmosphere of the university all point in the direction of the higher aspirations and ideals. For the university, and for some students, some pupils are, to a man, advocates of its higher mission. At the last commencement, there were one hundred and fifty-one graduates: one hundred and seventen, or whom took degrees in theology and medicine. This of itself ought to allow all apprehension of current tendency and drift.
The university is for years maintained subordinated to its laboratory to its preparatory and normal departments. Such correlation of manual and mental training in these grades is in harmony with the soundest pedagogical principles. But this feature has been merely incidental, and has not been a parallel with its leading lines of work.
While the university is pledged to the higher ideals, its work must be enlarged and sensible adapted to the growing educational demands of the times. Science, economic and political knowledge and language must be given coordinate places with the traditional trivium. She needs long and stronger courses in physical and vital science, in history, in political and social science, in preparation for the practical needs of life. The great pressing need is for a science building with laboratory equipment and facilities adapted to the demands of the coaching world. Such lines of work would lay the basis for courses in technology on the high ground, for scientific knowledge and method might prepare for directive work in the great industrial domain. The president, faculty, trustees, alumni and student body are all committed to maintain the university on the high ground. The university must prepare for the education of youth in the liberal arts and sciences. There is no expressed or implied purpose to the contrary. Howard University can thrive on no other foundation than the one that has been laid. Washington B. C. June 17.
Rheolud the Negro of the South come to the Northwest to cast his lot? you ask. To which we reply, he should if he has the inclination and likewise the necessary "wherewith" requisite for traveling expenses. However, it would be absurd as well as foolhardy for the Negro in a body to transplant himself in the Northwest or any other section of the United States, other words, it would be possible to well and well make the case on the second part of this country, however favorably disposed such section and its Anglo-Saxon inhabitants might be toward his physical and intellectual development. So far, he has been a good star of the state of affairs as he is now contending in the South, where, in a great many of those States, he is either in an actual majority or dangerously near it. If the alleged "race problem" of the United States is in the case of beyond the probability of resurrection it will be when large numbers, yes a majority of the Neighbors of the various Southern States, will have scattered to every nook and corner of the Western Hemisphere and familiarity themselves among the inhabitants of the country. Not to be so generally to generate with the whites, but to live among them and adopt their customs, habits and industrial spirit. So long as the black folk are not sufficiently numerous to close them from the minds of the white folk, those of their others are not as much as the community might mean "nigger dominance" there will be little or no strife between the whites and the blacks, but where there is danger of such, perpetual strife does and will prevail and, judging from the blacks, the blacks are not as much as the lower end of the rope. "In fact, a "black state" is set apart in the United States, where the Negro may be "lord-of all" he surveys" (which will never be done). Then it is better for the black man to have a black life and take his chance by the side of the white man, even though it be against odds.
Under such circumstances no secession of the whole United States offers such an inviting field for the brawn of the Negro as the far Northwest. While the coming of the Negro, yet the captives of industry are much inclined to the "open shop" idea and are willing to employ the black man as readily as the white man, if he can only "make good." Ten thousand able-bodied black men writing in the South are coming to Washington the next day after they arrived here and at wages troble and quadruple to those they have been carrying in the South. Almost as many women of the same complexion could find work as they did in the South. A $20 per month throughout the State and yet the coming of that number would not be noticeable on the body politic two weeks after their arrival. The coal mines, the railroad contractors, the fur farmers and factory men are all willing to give them work if they will but come.

No great responder of menages, Andrew S. Hurt, and very free in his mind, was a man of fifth were as black as they have been painted, nothing on earth would prevent General Burt from saying so.

SIXTY YEARS TO GET WHITE.
Established Pure Cancunian Ancestry

MEMPHIS. June 11.—After a fight lasting through almost the sixty years of her age Mrs. Elise Massey of Tipton county, Mrs. Elise Massey of Tipton county, who she says is of pigeon-Canadian blood. This verdict not only puts her where she has longed for so many years to be placed socially* but gives her and her be a feature of pigeon-Canadian blood. Mr. Massey the daughter of "Old Man" Ed Barrow a cotton planter whose acres took a day to ride around, was an illegitimate child, and for sixty years other herds to the Barrow county were offspring of Barrow and a quadruple slave so nearly white as to deceive experts. One white man, Theodore Massey, who left Elise a widow, had been a slave and their children were ostracized along with her. Since Massey's death his widow has fought not only for her right to the husband's estate denied her because of the alleged paint and the her husband's burglaries but for her part of her father's lands as well. Today a Tipton county jury of white men passed on her claim and say that she is not only white, but her wife has her lands as well. $25,000 in rich farmlands well stocked.
IMMIGRANTS FOR THE SOUTH.
Station Buildings to Be Erected at New
WASHINGTON, June 13—The Secretary of Commerce and Labor has created a commission, of which Frank P.

The sum of $70,000 is available for the construction of the buildings. The commission will start South on Sunday. Arrangements have already been perfected for lines of steamers to land immigrants at Southern ports in New Jersey to go on to divert in that direction a fair proportion of the immigration to this country.
WARRINGTON, June 17. The first appeal taken by the Government under the law enacted by the last Congress giving the United States the right of appeal in certain cases of criminal case was decked out by the Supreme Court recently. It no longer appears in the importance to the Southern States, where state rights are more numerous guarded perhaps and lynchings are prevalent, for it is a true case to determine whether the Federal Government, under the power by the Fourteenth Amendment, has the right to enforce where the State authorities fail to act.
The case grew out of the action of a mob at Huntville, Ala., in September, when a roaming the county jail, which was guarded by the state, a whole company of the Alabama State militia, and taking Horace Maple, a colored man charmed with the murder of a white officer, into the structure and hanging him in the jail. When the State authority made little or no effort to punish the offenders the Federal officials stepped in and outwarded to be given the power to arrest them that they had conspired to deprive Maple, a citizen of African descent, of the rights guaranteed him by the Constitution to a jury and by the Fourteenth Amendment, before the law with the white race. The Federal Grand Jury indicted four members of the mob—Robert Powell, George Foster, and William Riggin—for violating a law that carry the Fourteenth Amendment into effect by conspiracy to deprive any person imprisoned, a fine of $1,000 and disfranchisement.
Before the trial took place Riggin sought his release from custody by writ of arrest from custody andading that his arrest was illegal, for the arrest offense for which he was indicted was not punishable by Federal law. The Supreme Court passed on passing on the morals of his contest against an appeal, on the ground that such a writ was not a proper remedy. In the meantime proceedings had been initiated by the Shipp case of Chantanga and eight others for contempt of the Supreme Court or lynching Pd Johnson, a Negro, while he was nominally in its custody and protection, and eight others in the writing of error to review his勾搭 the ville indictments were held in abeyance for some time in the hope that the maltreatment involved would be settled in the court. There being little prospect of an early termination of the Shipp case, the Government again took up the Maple matter in the case of the indictment against Robt. Powell for a separate trial had been granted. Powell's demurrier that the offense charged was punishable by the State statute was singled out against the United States, was sanctioned inoses, in whose district the trial took place.
In this opinion Judge Jones says very frankly that that action was contrary to the Constitution because he felt impelled to follow the State Court in deciding what are known as the whitewashing" cases, which involved a similar question as to the right of the Government to the denial of civil rights where the Managers failed to prosecute. As he viewed that decision the Supreme Court held that Fourteenth Amendment permitted the Federal Government to interfere only when there was a need to self, or by its office of the刺锋 served by the Constitution and laws, and in a case that of Maples it was powerless against the State in individuals which frustrated the State efforts to perform its constitutional duty.
Judge Jones holds that there is no conflict with State laws in this instance. It was unquestionable that the same physical constitution constitute an offense of an entirely different legal nature and in consequence against both of the State and of the United States.

without the rights of free men.
The Southern American has profound respect for the daring and the manhood of the Confederate private, but it has contempt for those who misused these poor people in war and continue to mistreat them in peace. If it is wanted, to do anything real to honor "the lost cause," then go about it to take care of the rights and privileges of those who were not lead to actual slaughter and death in the Civil War, but have since been slaughtered by being robbed of civil liberty and cheated out of the rights of suffrage. Not only are thousands of poor whites robbed of liberty and misfrage, but they are swindled out of every year's result of privation and toil.
Jefferson Davis and his regime went down because God Almighty decreed it and the Jefferson Davis ruling element in the South of now is going down because God will not tolerate this brutal disregard of the rights and privileges of men. No oligarchy or political tricksters can always boost itself such outrageous cunning and oppression.
AFRO-AMERICAN AND NEGRO
But the Dictionary Remains Unchanged. Sir
From The Southwestern Christian Advocate,
Mr. T. Thomas, Fortune, the versatile and erudite editor of The New York Advocate, not only knows how to write a strong and convincing editorial, but he knows also how to yield gracefully and to facilitate. He has been a strong advocate of the term "Afro-American." He says that while he shall continue to use this term, he will permit correspondents to use the term "Negro." He appropriately asks, "What are we to do when all of our popular speakers and writers most of our strong men and women, per-sist in using these inappropriate terms?" referring to the terrors Negro and Negroes. He objects to these terms because the dictionary definitions do not correspond with the common usage. Certainly Mr. Fortune knows that the dictionary is be changed and words given new fe-ings, and not only will the word No, become a proper noun, dignified. He says that he has no long-eager, but is will not be long he so that he is applicable to that has evolved out of No.

From The Springfield Republican.
MANILA, P. I., April 14, 1807.—Like other departments of the Philippine government, that of education seems to have passed through three stages, the first being their Oriental burden. The first was the period when the American soldier, laying aside his heated munket, took up the school book and initiated American education. The second was the ever remain a bright episode for the use of oratory; but it will have to be judged rather by the generous intentions of its actors by its results. For the army is an little apted for teaching as it is for governing.
The second stage began with the inception of the civil government. It corresponded to the period of expansion sentiment at home, and hard manhunt line searches. We had a cymbal 'cymbal' spirit. We dreamed of inexhaustible resources in the islands, and we sketched our plans accordingly, measuring the responsivity of the Filipino by our own exuberant food nature. We had a child who whole people as a sponge takes up water, and under the magic influence of American enterprise the interlying ocean disappeared, and the western border of our state touched the northern border of the world. We had a sponge in 1004 we awoke into the era of hard pan and common sense. It was probably the census that brought us down to facts all along the line. In the educational field we realized that there were many people who were woftily inadequate supply of teachers, buildings and money.
Having to cut our cloth accordingly, we wiped out our earlier optimistic plans and got down to a working basis. School children from 10 to 14, and since facilities were utterly lacking to educate 1,200,000 children at once, the next best thing would be to educate them in relays. A course of private training, arranged, and the attempt was made to reach the children in groups of 400,000 thus giving the entire generation of school children at least the essential elements of the post-primary work; provision had to be made for intermediate and secondary instruction. The primary course includes the English language branding, spelling, grammar, vocabulary, photography, besides singing, callistonics and the character building that is the necessary daily atmosphere of a school-room. Intermediate instruction, embracing the above three branches, and in addition natural science and cities. Secondary instruction covers a number of special courses adapted to the varying needs and pupils and divided into three-year work.
Attendance during the 40 weeks of school work offers a great deal according to the weather, the planting and the hardiness of the plants. A great deal more than it does at home; for the rains may suspend schools and all work. For weeks at a time, besides the country of the director of education enables me to use advance figures from the 1007 report, which cannot be printed for several months. For weeks at a time, besides the country of the director of education, names in October, 1906, 307,415, namely 222,540 boys and 157,757 girls. In June, the first month of the year it was as low as 176,333. The figures for March, the closing month, are not yet available; but in March, 1906, the actual attendance was 176,333, partly due to the Christmas holidays and partly to the holding of teachers' institutes. In general, the actual attendance is lower than in April. These figures are of course far from 1,200,000, and on average attendance throughout the 10 months are too far below 400,000. An examination of the figure, by grades is very illuminated.
Total high school it will be seen that one in
per cent. of the children actually in school get anything more than the most elementary
knowledge (in English, which is still
only an insignificant number reach the
high school. When I contemplate these
faces and reflect on their meaning, I
grow faint at the task that lies before me.
The money spent on education are derived from three sources, all ultimately contributed by the Filipino people. The students are not yet available; in 100, the insular government supplied 2,880,000 pessos, of which 1,754,000 pessos were for salaries of American teachers, 181,000 for salaries of Filipino students in America, 241,000 for management salaries, and the balance for supplies, transportation, etc. The provincial governments supplied 255,000 pessos, which were used for the high schools, 197,000 for the elementary schools, 1,797,000, which were paid in salaries of Filipino municipal teachers and maintenance of primary schools. There were voluntary contributions of 222,000 pessos, which were paid by the Filipino people and expended for the education of their children was 3,840,000 pessos, or about 70 contents per capita for a population of 7,000,000. It is estimated that the amount equal to 110 contents, and the United States averages 600 contents.
If one were to ask me what is the best thing we have done out there in the Philippines, a body of Filipino teachers who are actually carrying on the burden of the educational work. We have done it, perhaps, more from necessity than from choice. Whether, in there was enough training, in there was enough Americans able to endure the scarcity and monotonous life of the barrines, we would have been able to persuade our students that the Filipino is fit to teach his students the student of American psychology, asking him not to overlook the complication of "Christianity and 5 per cent." The fact is that the Filipino teacher is now doing practically all of the educational work of the island, which means nearly all the education that people are getting. There are in round 6,000 Filipino teachers at work, put among the crowds had children were taught in the school.
pine teacher is a part of the municipal entity.

the teachers who serve as wages,

the painful wages earned by those teachers.
Practically all of the teachers are young,
the average age of the young is
very small. The average age of the

their English is far from perfect. I have
my work with a few of them, sometimes in
remote districts and I noted how well
the teachers developed their work. The
and that a proper pride and dignity they
showed. Another thing is that while
teaching the barrio children they are also
teaching themselves. Wherever practice
is done, they go out of the school.
The school is a part of the people and meet
the American teacher for the purpose of
reporting, taking counsel and studying.
It is true that Spain had 2,107 teachers,
men and women, in the municipalities:
but the most different is that the above
are a process of our body of teachers in
a corps with solidarity—kept alive by regular
teachers' institutes and by constant
cooperation with the American superint
endorsers and of the most important
millions before many years of the
millions for this people. Several hundred
of the Filipino municipal teachers have
been advanced to the similar payroll,
which is more remuneration and sure, and
in the end of the years in the
in the intermediate schools.
The year is closed with 723 American teachers, about 100 less than last year. At the same time information comes from home that difficulty is experienced in getting the answers to the Philippines is more than one year after the ever-spongous that no one needs to come; but it must also be recognized that the glamor has worn off the Philippine adventure and that for the rank of the school's teacher, the company's own guidance work, little comfort and only fair pay. Teachers' salaries range from $100 to $1,800 a year, and the most of them get $1,200. These amounts are large, according to Oriental studies. The number of teachers in the country is about the men would get at home, but the difference does not compensate for the discomfort and utter weariness of life here. It would be easy to pick out a dozen cranks and add-offs to the school's work. It will limit the whole teaching force; it would be still easier to pick out a hundred fine types and write a eulogy that would flatter them and exaggerate their merits. The annual truthful school staff have been faithful and good men, have earned the affection and regard of the Filipino people, and have deserved well of their country, and that many of them have been good in their work. In the school's study, the group of duy. I met one who has been three years in the heart of the Pulశan country and who has passed through this city on big, yys, hope, in, reysure, his, medical, other, and other. It was the most here—because he needed money. For three years he has not seen his wife and hate, and the words came earnestly from my heart: "You poor fellow, I hope you will come out on top," large pet, and of course, have that hemic stuff in them.
The majority of the American teachers are engaged in organizing and supervising the schools and in guiding the Filipino teachers in the secondary, high and special schools. The barrio schools must be visited regularly, and no American who has not been in the Philippines can form a teaching team in the secondary, high and special schools. The authorities wisely discourage unmarried women from coming, for they cannot endure the hardships and the loneliness of the rural areas, and they should be written of the nervous breakdown and the dread of the woman teacher's lot. The aim seems to be to secure married children, couples, or at least married couples. The disadvantages, for it means the employment of both as teachers. The editor of a Spanish paper said to me in a few days ago that our teachers are generally not qualified to some. Ligily believe that all are competent to fill their positions. The subject of the educational work is so large that I must reserve for my next courses in the high schools, the difficulties that we must meet, and what we have actually accomplished, especially as regards the use of English. In the meantime, I have shown himself fit to be a teacher.
DAVID J. DOHERTY.
No Race Has Monopoly of Depraved Tendencies.
To the Editor of The New York Age:
I have been a member of *The Rise Plan* with
the authors and with other editors of Afro-American journals,
that no one race of people holds a monopoly
on morality or on right-doing. The
emptyman from committing crime and doing
wrong by reason of their white skin and
straight hair or of their boasted intellectual
attainment, is than the Nogra race
their black skin, kikoye hair and
irritated.
If John Temple Ornves insists upon telling the country and the world, that it is the Negro's natural proclivity that leads him to crime, he will not only have the answer from the able. After-not-to-be and after-to-be daily, papers published by his race and kind, that it is also the propensity of the white man, the Causcasian, the Anglo-Saxon, the world over to commit crime, he actors in the worst of deeds. Karl Han, the self-confessed murderer of his mother-in-law, now unforcured by the other-in-law, and the white men in the murder trinj at Boise, Idaho, afford strong evidence in point of the writer's argument.
The instinct for murder was greater in Karl Han than was learning and culture. He was not considered among the lower people who were not, but the higher intellectual sort; he had opportunities in this country to rise in the legal world never offered to, any Afro-American. Every door of hope and opportunity was wide open to him and his kind. But all of this was not enough to prevent him control. He was not full of love. But his career, like his Causcasian, brethren who are now standing trial for murder in Idaho, demonstrates the fact that there is no black crime, nor white crime, black badness nor white goodness—but crime is bad no matter by whom common people published by his race and kind.

A NOTABLE PUBLICATION.
A publication of uncommon attractiveness and special interest is the Northwest Negro Progress number of *The Seattle Republican*, which also marks the celebration of the fourteenth anniversary of the publication of the paper. The number is replete with portraits of the progressive men and women of the race in the far-removed State of Washington, together with illustrations of their comfortable homes and up-to-date furniture. The generation forgotten, because over the caption, "Made in Seattle" appear some cute pictures of the little boys and girls who have made their debut in that thriving generation. Eighty-eight pages, printed on coated paper, and the half-tone engravings are of unusual excellence. H. R. Cayton is the editor and publisher of *The Republican*, and Arthur Revell Cayton is associate.

THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1907
Owned and Operated by New York Company—Great is the Conservation at Asbury Park. At 312 Asbury avenue, Asbury Park, within one-half block of the boardwalk and the park, is a property purchased and will be operated by the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company of New York city. This building, formerly the Thompson House, was conducted as summer both in former Asbury Park's choicest white section.
The transaction turning the property over to the Metropolitan Company was made entirely unknown to the surrounding residents and landowner, the deeds were not made public, and the treasurer through an agent of the company, The treasurer, Mr. J. H. Atkins, proceeded to Abbury Park last week to take formal possession. Great changes had been mapped out and work was immediately started on the property, overland and remodel the hotel.
Everything proceeded smoothly until it became known that the new owners of the property represented an Afro-America buryer on its hud legal. Indignation meetings of the surrounding property owners were and are still being held; protests offered and inducements of offering and inducements of the owners of the Thompson House.
This purchase by the Metropolitan Company, which includes one of the best modern colored hotels on the Atlantic Coast, represents the first important plot of land owned by Afro-American. All others owning property at this point have been segregated and forced to purchase in a portion of the town called West Ashbury Park, which is without the city proper. As the hotel will be called, is situated on one of the city's most prominent avenues, is surrounded by the largest hotels in the place, and is within 30 feet of the bathing pavilion apportioned to Ashbury's Negro Property. A very material advance over the purchase price has been offered to the company for its property and is yet to be increased, but there is no intention on the part of the officials to reinhalt this property, as they contemptulated moves of this description.
A Young Liberian Who Has Gained Honor Here.
Mr. Didiwo Twe, a young Libarian, has been in the city for several days, stopping with friends at the young Mehdi Christian Association, on one of Sdd's many trips to the city in recent seven years, and has studied at St. Johannesburg (V..) Academy, Cushing Academy, Mass., and is at present a student at Burdett Business College, Boston, and has been studying at home in Africa, returning in the fall to continue his studies. Mr. Twe has become well acquainted with the leading writers and publicists of this country, and such well-known journalists as Marvin K. Bentley, the *Boston Post* and the *American Journal of Psychology* have opened their columns to him. This young Libarian has reflected great credit upon his country and his writings, and his documents in school, his able and admirable and his wise and thoroughly enlightening articles contributed from time to time to the press. He is passionately fond of his country and the traditions of her native country, and he is the cousin of any other people there, needing only a chance to bring them out.
In speaking of Lobera and of Africa in general, and what has been said of it by writers of the white race, Mr. Twey says: "The white man is incompetent to write about the African and when he writes about the African, he generally begins by dethroning reason. It will take a man who can think black to write a true history of the black race."
"NEGRO"
Mr. Hall Thinks, Hysterically, It Is a Crime.
To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE:
Your offering to bow to the wrong is wrong. You should teach your writers the name of 'Negro' as a scorn against our maker and you should teach your writers to respect our feelings. A man must be a man, it matters not what power of the high or low. You are no right to favor the wrong. You are a teacher, and as such you should hold your place at the head of ten millions colored Americans. Your excuse is no excuse, for it is your place to use the light, and not let it go out to the world. Was your start with Afro-Americans? It is so, what is the matter now with THE ACE? The name of 'Negro' is what is called the greatest crime of the age. Your strength is for our good and not for our wrong. The people you mention should be the people you teach. THE ACE is wrong in the sight of God and man and only hope like a faithful teacher stand by the right. R. H. BALL.
The claim has frequently been made that the Southern whites are under a tremendous financial burden in supporting schools for the Negroes, since, as alleged, the taxes paid by the Negroes do not have a amount of exposure to the gross education. It has more than once been proposed that the expenses borne by the State for the separate education of the races should be proportionate to the taxes and is not such as the품액 subordinated context in the unsequently submaterial context in the Geographic last year this plan received more or less airing. But it has been asserted that the negroes are in white friends of the lending. Negroes are often the youth of the Southern States such as a plan of division would not reduce the present amount spent on the Negro schools, for the reason that the Negroes are already paying a larger profit than the taxes and is the cost for their schools and are thus in reality contributing to support the white schools. Figures have recently been prepared by a Negro paper. The Defender of Summer, the American School of the South Carolina, for one State. According to the carefully analyzed figures of the Defender the Negroes of South Carolina last year paid into the treasury for the education of the South. In the same way, while there was expended by the State for the Negro schools only, which apparently might be said to have the help of white schools. It should not be supposed that $278,417 was the total amount of the taxes paid by the South Carolina. Negroes, for if it were there would be no amount of taxes in any area, since other State functions can be used that of education would undoubtedly cost far more than $18,544. But the $278,417 was the amount of taxes paid by the Negroes under the South Carolina system for the directly education of the Azores. The exhibit is one of credit to the Negro race and deserves attention.

SPEAKER CANNON AND THE SOUTH.
Story That in Partly Suppressed Speech
He Took Southern View of Things.
RALEIGH, N. C., June 5.—A weekly State paper will print a story concerning the recent speech of Senator Cannon, the speaker of the House, in the legislature, N. C., that will cause much comment, and probably criticism. The paper will say that a leading citizen of Lexington, much of it was suppressed by the newspapers, at the request of Mr. Cannon's private secretary; that part of it was ultra-Southern on the Negro question, but not significantly that the treatment of this question by the South was the right course to pursue; that the Southern people alone understood it properly, and that the South was not so much interested and that his sympathies were with them. It is also asserted by the Lexington man that Speaker Cannon spoke strongly in favor of State rights; that Cannon's speech was not so much understood and took immediate steps to suppress that part of the speech, of which this is only a brief summary. It is expected that the speaker in summary, brief as it is, will cause the exact words uttered by the Speaker to be made public.

NATIONAL NEGRO LEAGUE
Old Time Democrates Organise and
Claim the Earth.
"Unattterably opposed to Roosevelt" is the motto of the National Negro League, must organized in this city, with ex-Judge Robert E. Brown, a former dentist. The other officers are: Ambient Health Commissioner E. E. Brown of Boston, vice-president; E. E. Lee of the United Colored Democracy as chairman on the executive committee, and P. Hampson of the League leaders say they expect to swing 65,000 colored voters in New York, 70,000 in Pennsylvania, 55,000 in Ohio, 45,000 in Illinois and 100,000 in the other states. It is interesting to note that all of these gentlemen have been classed as Democrats for a great many years and that it is natural for them to imagine they all of the Afro-American voters behind them and can "swing" them as they will.
Secured by This New Union Order—Grows By Leaps and Bounds—Started Five Years Ago with Nothing But a "Principle"—Now Has Over 400 Subordinate Lodges and 38,000 Members.
Over 20,000 homes of our people have been filled with joy, because of the Protection of a great and powerful Union Order, which is using its strength and influence to secure better conditions for our people.

There is no color, race or sex discrimination in this Order. The negro has an equal standing with the white members, and can be elected to hold office, even if they are made to advance the condition of the membership, securing equal opportunities to work with other workmen, to learn the trades and to have steady work at high wages and Union hours.
The Grand Lodge donates $100,00 for the burial of each deceased member. A fine monthly Journal is published. A Membership Book of the Order is recognized by all Lodges everywhere. Discounts on membership. Member and Subordinate. Lodge has the privilege of buying stock in the Order, on low monthly payments, said stock paying 8 per cent interest, guaranteed. A Leading Negro Deputy is wanted in each locality, AT ONCE, to form Lodges, sell Buttons, take Journal Subscriptions, and act as DISREST DEPUTY ORGANIZER. This work can be done in sparse hours, but many are devoting their whole time and attention to it. Big money is made by good hustlers.

During the course of the history of the Negro in this country many an untoward circumstance has been turned to good. Slavery itself in spite of all its blighting influences gave to the Negro the English language, some idea of the family and the great family, and, in the course of the years of the头setoid in be greatest country of earth. Rate prejudice has pinched the Negro at many a turn of the road and under this, at times, he chafes and freets away no little, or, perhaps, to the end of the time, to come to realise that it's an ill wind that blows good to no one. It is not claimed that race prejudice in every instance brings good to the Negro. There is no justification for the purpose of the Negro dentist's necessity and gives him an advantage in the opening of his office that white dentists are not the people come to. Nevertheless, for an instance, when a white dentist, or an in-limates that he cares not for his patronage, this at once makes the Negro dentist's necessity and gives him an advantage in the opening of his office that white dentists are not the people come to. He is necessary; his people come to him because they must. This is advantage number one to the Negro dentist. The second is, the patient has his respect for the race itself, and he is capable of doing it. The patient is the dentist and, soon the patient and the dentist are in good terms and care little for the refusal of the white dentist; really the refusal becomes in Africa. Georgia refused to permit the Negro patrons to try on shoes before purchase, then the necessity of a Negro shoe store was apparent and it was successful. When the鞋 were taken up open in doors, because race prejudice had driven its doors, the Negro to the patronage of this particular store. It goes without saying that but for race prejudice was a problem and the fund of our people in the professional and in the commercial world.
Race prejudice has been literally the spur by which our people have been urged on to quicken endeavor and to the accomplishment of this task. We have learned that their themselves would not have learned to do or felt themselves capable of doing. Nothing demonstrates more clearly this fact than the National Negro Business League, which is destined to be formed, as well as the most practical. Every business man finds it necessary to hold conference or to get points from others. It is true that the race has been helped to become, but for the most part, we have not had the advantage of apprenticeship in business before we began business of our own. The Negro Business - League and similar organizations come together to tell how man, has done man can do, these Negroes return to their homes determined to enter a business of their own. Hence the rapid multiplying of banks and of companies asserts itself then the Negro must prove what is in him. If a restaurant will not feed him then he must prove his business ability to conduct a restaurant after the most approved manner, and every business enterprise it is an irrefutable demonstration of his ability.
Occasionally we hear some outcries against "Jim Crowism," which in fact is a protest against a certain forced separation of the Negro. The separation course it is to the disadvantage of the Negro. The separation of the races has been often a blessing; it has put the Negro on his mettle and given him the opportunity to separate himself. The religious denominations in the life of the Negro demonstrate beyond the possibility of a double that the Negro is capable of organization. The African Quarter quarries of a million of members and supports its board of bishops, its missionary society, its board of education, its church extension and publishing interests. Here race separates out to the date refer to the African Methodist Episcopal church as a "Jim Crow" church, and yet it is a distinctively Negro organization. Its record has been a boiling to the point of manhood. Race separates out to the date refer to the African Methodist Episcopal church. What is true of this church is true of other churches. One of the most notable examples of the Negro achievement is the publishing of the book "The Million Pages of Sunday school literature, and books of various sorts, and employing daily some three hundred persons. No longer is this to his house, a Jim Crow publishing company, and not a white man connected with it from one end to the other.
Bishop Davis Sessums, D. D., LL. D. of the Protestant Episcopal church, in a recent address to the colored young men of a certain fundamental separatism that must exist between all races. You want your race to stand alone, mainly that you may prove what is in you. Other races may find that this separatism seems serious to you, remember that it is a fundamental law. A race ought to have a certain distinctness, like a man. It is a man on a large scale. These fundamental separatism for you is a thing in history. In this big world there is plenty of room for all. Don't let there be any misunderstanding about this matter, but you want this separatism for you and let his history to make it is encouraging that it is being well done, notwithstanding we are kept to our job by race prejudice. If we are driven to ourselves and out of our own self-made places of our own and prove that we are not only worthy of entering business places, but capable also of running them

CHOWDER VS. PAYTON
On Thursday, June 6, Mr. Justice Armand of the Supreme Court, court of New York, rendered a decision in the case of Afro-American Entity Company and Philip A. Payton, Jr. to the effect that the order of arrest procured by Charles J. Crowdle', through his attorney, one William H. Smith, was illegal and should be rescinded. There being no law authorizing an order of arrest in a case of this kind. In view of the fact that Crowder and his attorney had repeatedly assured the prosecution that they had legal right to arrest Mr. Payton, the court of New York issued a commitment by him on behalf of the Afro-American Realty Company, as contained in their complaint. It seems by the above decision that they not only committed a gross legal error, but also that

FREE! FREE! FREE! KINK·INE
Great Hair Straightener and Grower
Most Wonderful Discovery ever made for curly, kinky and knotty hair. Makes hair grow long, straight soft and silky; curves dartruff and stops falling hair. Kink-ine acts like magic on the hair.
Kink-ine Is No Experiment. It was discovered by R. Roberts, a famous English chemist, who has made a study of the scalp of colored people for the past 30 years, and who, after much time and experience, has prepared this great tonic for the colored people.
This chemist says that his experience and study have taught him that the scalp of the colored people requires a special treatment and after laboring and testing these many years he has discovered, the greatest REMEDY the WORLD has ever known for the HAIR of colored people.
KINK-INE will make the hair GROW from one to three inches per month, if the directions and instructions are carefully followed out. We have many cases on record where the above results have beep obtained, and we do not heatate 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, creates dandruff, makes the hair soft and silky, and by nourishing the roots gives it new life and vigor, restoring it to natural color.
BAD what Miss Elizabeth Jones of Chicago days of KINK-INE: "My hair was not, more than three inches long when I used to use Kink-INE six months ago. I have used it steadily since that date and it has grown on an average of two inches a month and it is now more than fifteen inches long. Besides, my hair has, become almost straight and I fully believe by the end of the year I will have the most beautiful head of hair of any colored lady in the world."
SPECIAL OFFER—To prove the quality and superiority of our goods over all others, we will sell one full size bottle of Kink-ine, price 25 cents, and give you free one coke of Soap, price 25 cents, with each bottle of Kink-ine you buy at the following drug stores only. Cut this offer out and take it to any of these stores and they will gladly give you both Tonic and Soap, for only 25 cents.

NEW IBERIA, La., June 4.--Far away in the "Troble State" where the breezes at noonide come up from the warm waters of the gulf stream, aden with the warm waters of the gulf stream, josamine and Southern rose, on the banks of historic old Bayon Rose, made so familiar to all the world by the mighty pen of the immortal H. W. Long-king, whose vanguard oak alms, buried from sight, the beautiful city of New Iberia.
Four rooms and bath apartments. Newly renovated. Hot water supply. Large light rooms. Rents $23 and $24. Respectable tenants only.
In and around this city are to be seen many things of great interest. At the grander, lies the beautiful home of the lads and renowned actor, Joseph Jefferson. And the mind can scarcely conceive of a more perfectly blended scene of natural beauty by this mansion and its surroundings. Leaving the Jefferson home, we next come to the great salt mines of Louisiana where beds of rock salt were deposited in the shallow waters of the ward, leaving to us the alluvial lands upon which the "Creeche State" is built. In close proximity to the salt mines are to be seen broaish peppers from the crushed pepper is made. And surrounding all those scenes of interest may be seen numerous fields of sugar cane, with its long flagging, with the crushed pepper time to the tune of the summer gephyrus. But with all of this you would doubtless be interested to know what the Afro-American is doing down here. The educator in the hands of very experienced teachers.

Prof. Jonas Henderson is principal of the How Institute, which is thoroughly equipped to do primary and academic work and is now empowered by the Sixth District Baptist Association. The original property was donated by the Hows. Since this property has been in the hands of the Sixth District a beautiful brick structure has been erected at a school system that the school system is almost a myth. There are six or seven white schools, three of them representing an expenditure of $39,000 each and but one colorful public school, which at about two-thirds of the school system, is colored. Iigned the school because of a refusal of the Board to increase his salary which was forty dollars. This school has only three rooms, and on the reservation of Prof. Guilfium one of these was closed. Iigned the school in charge, but was not even paid the principal's salary.

"An ominent divine, he was always foremost as a champion of the rights Mr his father had been a champion of, and practical competence in all dealings. Said the lamented eclegian in one of his letters, "I am a man of the January 14, 1906: 'All we ask for is an general opportunity to labor and work with representation, that our numbers deserve, that we can represent them to see that we have these rights. The watchword of the nation must be education, industrial and religious. This is the right, the heritage of every individual." The general services were held Thursday, in Wellington, at 11 a.m. at Fiskhill and were conducted by the Rev Louis D. Williams, pastor, of the A. M. E. Louis D. Williams, pastor, of the A. M. E. Rev W. H. Allen, of Hudson; R. M. Bolden, of Tarfurton; C. Falfax, of New Haven; A. M. Bolden, of Ningston, and A. M. Bolden, of Friensburg, different towns attended. E. H. BILLER.

From The Angela Sunday Herald
Richmond county's aggressive movement toward a compulsory education law is still the occasion of universal comment.
At present the interest centers in the effect it would have upon the Negroes of Anguilla/ and a question that is asked frequently in, would the present schools of the city accommodate the vast number of Negro children who would be forced to attend some school.
At present there are three schools devoted entirely to Negroes in Augusta and as soon as the John Milledge school is completed, the building now being used by the Fifth Ward Grammar school will be moved and given over to Negroes. When properly repaired, will seat possibly a thousand children. With this building will be no danger of taxing the capacity of the schools.
The following is from statistics compiled by the board of education:
"There are about six thousand Negro school children in the city of Augusta. Of these they are about three thousand the ages of 7 and 12 years. It is proposed to make a plan for Augusta schools that will provide for the complete accommodation of all children from the city they are seven years old from the city they are thirteen or fourteen years old, giving them a five years' course of study. In the elementary studies only, which in sample for manda made upon application their present industrial condition" order to fully accommodate the crowds of Negroes, two sessions will be held at each school every day and every teacher will be allowed about 30 at a session. The law will not cause a school law will not may think. There will be more than needed.
(rotating again from the statistics :
Question
The are now employed by the board of Education 27 Negro teachers, distributed as follows: First Ward school, 9; Second Ward school, 3; Maude street school, 13; Fifth Ward school, 2; total, 17.
of these teachers enroll on hundred pupils, teaching double sessions daily, 50 in the morning hours from to 12 o'clock and 10 in the afternoon hours to 14 o'clock, we will offer enrollment to 2,700 children, which is 800 more than we now enroll. In view of the fact that there are other school in Aurora who are children still ill, and that there is a considerable number who will not go at all, it is evident that if the public schools provide for 2,700 out of 3,000, we will have more than enough room to accommodate all.
The enrollment by grades in the Negro public schools now is as follows: First grade, 506; Second grade, 300; Third grade, 245; Fourth grade, 194; Fifth grade, 137; Seventh grade, 49; Eighth grade, 24; total, 1,562.
A wife plan would be to enroll the Negro children when they are seven years old, and keep them in school or board when they are eight years old. When they are the sixth or seventh grade they will be 13 or 14 years of age, and large enough to go to work.
AN AGED FLORIDIAN
ASTRAY IN NEW YORK
nation of the War of Peace to Settle Race
ation Question.
From The New York World.
Early rising and plenty of exercise are among the things necessary to live long and be happy, according to W. H. Trimmer of Molino, Fla., who was a New Yorker before the war. He is a farmer and orange grower, seventy-two years old, and is visiting New York for the first time in fifty years.
Mr. Trimmer, in spite of his seventy-two years, is as straight as a pine and has the kindly, deferential manner of the Southern gentleman. He is a Commodore in the First Florida Regiment under Ben Gragn. He was taken prisoner and for fifteen months was confined on Government land. This could be hardly called a visit to New York. Having grown comfortably well off, he came back to see Manhattan by way of Jamestown, Annapolis and Wash-
ington.
"After reading about New York for half a century and priding myself that I knew it pretty well, my breath was taken away as soon as I went to the room, and I went to try to you how big and amazing I think it is, but some of my impressions may interest you. Every one here seems to have incipient nervous posttraction, and because he never ever seems willing to stop in his headlong rush and extend a cordial hand of greeting to the stranger. When I stood in Grant's Tomb this morning a couple of Grand Army men, seeing my badge of the Confederate Veteran, came forward and greeted me warmly. "We are glad to welcome our friends the Rebs, said one. We talked over the old days and the new days and thanked the country was united and prosperous again. "There will never be another rebellion—but there will be war and bloodhed. The Negro question has yet to be settled. The underdog rent of race hatred and prejudice forward to it with dread. We do not hate the Negro, mind you, but the must keep his place and must remember that this is a white man's country. The time when you will realize this.
"I wouldn't have slavery again in the South—not for the world. We are making wonderful program. In Florida we have Panama Canal will cause, Real estate in advancing, population, white people, in growing; immigration is filling up the waste places, and we are taking our place in the front rank. We don't envy you that Panama Canal will cause the most lovely climate in the world. We haven't any Brooklyn Bridge crush, any East Side slums, any Subway air, any Great White Way—but we have fine magnificent beaches—and time to think. "But one thing impressed me unfavorably. I went over to see that wonderful excavation of the Pennsylvania town. And from the half full downtown, the car full tiding on equality with white people. Down home we have Jim Crow cars and the line is drawn hard and fast, for the course of the Negro as well as of the man. You will have to come to it here.
"What would I do if I was condemned in New York? Do an act or do now—think of a book that would study and read, sleep sound till daylight and get out in the early morning in town and beaver women, work hard while the men shine, live temporarily, enchallenge men and arrest, drink, and keep the brains of a man of severity two,

he biddled to will, in the near future, be
reinforced in the House of Commons, and the
Home Secretary will then, it is understood,
make a full explanation and defence.
It will be interesting to follow
their advice, and to observe the force of his strange and unpredicted attitude in this matter. Mr. Gladstone's reinfortune is that he has failed to grasp the logic of facts. Edalll was convicted and imprisoned for three years for a
dishonor, and the House of Commons
don, the Home Secretary says he did not commit. As a result of his conviction and imprisonment he has been struck off the rolls as a collector and has been disgraced by his financial fraud. Mr. Gladstone. Edalll is not entitled to compensation. This savors of gross injustice, for if there are no grounds for compensation then there were no grounds for a free pardon. Mr. Gladstone declares to reconsider his decision, preferring the coming debate in the House of Commons.
or considerable excited talk is being in dugged in, and on the West Coast of Africa generally, arising out of the rumor that Great Britain is about to code Sierra Leone as a republic, which the French enjoy in the Hebrides. Sierra Leone is situated to the northwest of Liberia, and was established as an agglom of freed and recaptured slaves, camping around a black country. France was able to secure control of all the country surrounding Sierra Leone; so that now it is heeded in on every side, except at the center of the country, which is the sphere of French influence, and sooner of later it must come under French control. This probability may seem of little or no interest, to Afro-Americans, but it is a great amount of ground for events in West Africa to think so, for though the Afro-American displays but little concern as to the fate of Liberia, the truth is that the West African Republic is an asset of the whole African continent, being well-coached to lightly lose. Yet if Sierra Leone be conceded to France, it is almost a certain that it will be so lost. For years the French have been coaching up African territory, being well-milled up, so that today many miles of rich, fertile, well-mineralized land, which was once a part of Liberia, is now part of the French possession. The presence of Africa is not approved, or favored, by either Great Britain or France; in fact, by none of the European land-grabbing states. These countries consider Liberia as the greatest success of their well-planned effort to bring about white domination in West Africa, and just so; for, increase the Republic's civilized population by 10,000 colonists from the United States and the French, Afro-Americans, and the Negroes of West Africa, would be master of the situation. To hope for such an increase, however, as conditions in Liberia now are, would be the preservation of the independence of the Republic is black indeed. Within the last 40 years something like 65,000 colonists from the United States and the French, Afro-Americans, and the Negroes of West Africa, would be master of the situation. The death rate is largely in excess of the birth rate, and in twenty years unless colonists from the United States there will not be 1,000 civilized people in the country.
The passiveness of the people in India is causing much anxiety amongst the British Imperialists, and there is considerable talk of another Cawnpore. It begins with the felt that the Indian is of Chinese origin in India today, and that it is impossible to educate a people and forever keep them under the thumb. The Indian leaders are very active in the way of creating sentiment against British rule, o that one of the most popular cities in India now is "India City". Egiz is it? "Egiz for the Egyptians."
A Nairabi native has been sentenced to five years imprisonment, to twenty-four bates, for an alleged attempt to assault a woman with a knife. The sionary. Nairabi is the place where a number of British officials, military and civil, took the law into their own hands to kill a white woman. It is said that feeling is intense at Nairabi amongst the white colonists because of the imprisonment of the white man who did this flagging, which is the kind of crime we are meeting this kind of crime. The penalty inflicted is the extreme under the present law, but the white people are not satisfied, and are finding a code of the sovereign character.
The Mohrmayerians of Sierra Leone have presented Doctor Rlyden, on the eve of his retirement from the position of Doctor Rlyden, with a valuable contribution that Colony, with a valuable contribution, bearing the inscription "Presented to Doctor Rlyden by the Moslems of Sierra Leone. The pen is mighter than the sword." There are several native Africans, Nigerians, at present studying music at Kneller Hall. They are selected man, and so so proficient with their chosen instrument, five of which have been given places in the fine band of the school, so justly celebrated for its superior work. The natives owing to the peculiar formation of their lips (2) have given special mouthpieces for their instruments.
Five Europeanans (white men) were charged at the Martigues (Transvaal) station on a native named Mtonga, who assaulted them performed an unmentionable operation, dangerous and extremely painful for the victims, and convicted a child. Mtonga had been arrested, tried and convicted for this alleged assault, but the case had been reviewed by the police, and the man was innocent, so pardoned him. No evidence was given for the five white defendants, nevertheless the jury will be impossible to convict these brutes.

THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1907
BURIN, June 8.—Most interesting facts regarding a strange Abyssinian Hebrew race are supplied me by Pastor Roden, the Spanish missionary, who has come to Berlin to review the existing Abyssinian version of the Bible on behalf of the Hebrew community. "Abyssinian Hebrows are the darkest descendants of the original children of Israel," said Mr. Roden, "and are unique in their language, that Africa although colored, they possess all the national Hebrew characteristics, facial peculiarities and economic tenure. They are the Hebrew people by the Abyssinian proper because they lack the Abyssinian warlike qualities and are prone to follow exclusively trade pursuits. However, that although adhering to the Jewish religion in every particular, they have totally outgrown the Hebrew language, neither do they show any signs of being Jewish. However, the Hebrew in any other part of the world. So far as I know, none of them has ever enigrated. They have no sympathetic friends. They have no mentorship for the establishment of an independent Jewish State in Palestine."
Pastor Roden declares missionary life in Abysinia presents peculiar difficulties in the foreign preacher than in almost any other country of the East, but the religious cults of Abysinia are difficult to reform, for the reason that Abysinia has a strong heathess. Their form of worship includes the remnants of Christianity that have come down from the fourth century, but have been buried to an unreconcilable extent. Mohammedan and forms of idolatry. Pastor Roden asserts that the progressive Emperor Menelek in personally, well known, allowed his own way would permit them considerable latitude, but the "Abun" or Abysinian Pope, exercises a powerful influence over his Majesty and insists that the German's friendly advances to Abysinia have, according to Pastor Roden, been heartily welcomed. The Kaiser's gift of automobiles and German beverages has a strong satisfaction. Arrangements are now pending for a number of German mechanics and artisans representing the various trades to settle in Menelek's domain of teaching of the natives industrial arts.
BOYCOTT JIM CROW CAPS
IN WILMINGTON, SAN
JOHNSON
Best Ww yte Protest Against Separation Law.
From The Wilmington (N. C.) Morning Star.
It was noticed Saturday and Sunday especially that few colored people were patronizing the street cars of the city, and several conductors on the line were asked yesterday what amount. The information elicited these inquiries rather startling. With one accord the street car men said that since the new "Jim Crow" car law was put into effect the first to take the rear seats and the whites front, the patronage of the people had fallen off from 50 to 15 per cent.
Quite contrary to expectations, the Negress do not take to the new law at all and seem to have organized to resist the much objection to sitting to themselves as there seems to be to the intimation that they are not wanted. The street car people cherished the hope that the grunginess of the process, but it seems to be not so and the colored people appear to be withdrawing their patronage, distributing with whom a reporter talked yesterday said that whereas on Saturday and Sunday the colored patronage is usually equal to or more than that of the whites, there are now comparatively few Negress riding on the streets. The colored are collecting is showing very materially. One conductor said the receipts had been cut one-half, and still another said that was not far from right. In any case, however, the temporary boycott is always the result of such action in the separating of the races; that it was true in Richmond and in other cities, but not in the lived people took a more sensible view of the situation and the separation of the races finally worked out with satisfaction to all concerned. The colored travel to suburban but is not sufficiently large to show any change under the new regulations.

The season of the year is just approaching when members of our race begin to assemble in meetings of various kinds to meet with people. As far as the editor of THE New York Age is concerned, he has given the best part of his life to various kinds of meetings and what not, but judging from our past experiences, we have made up our mind to devote all of our time to building up a great publishing plant right ahead. We can send out the best paper that the race has ever had, and later on turn out the best magazine the race has ever had. But the real business, we think we are promoting the welfare of the Afro-American race. This leads us to consider that people who beave over illiterate varieties of revolutions and indignation meetings.
