Thousands Hear the Senator Defend Them—References to a Square Deal Rouses Enthusiasm. XERIA, O., June 20.—Senator J. B. Foraker attracted thousands here to-day to hear his address at the forty-fourth commencement of Wilberforce University. Visitors have been arriving from all over the country for several days. The Senator received many ovations during the day and there were thousands at the deport to meet him when he arrived from Cincinnati at 10:30 this morning. All of the G. A. B. men of the county, white and black, with several brass bands, escorted him from the deport uptown. A short speech by the Senator early in the day served to whet the appetite of the masseus for his formal address this afternoon. Mr. Foraker was introduced former State Senator J. G. Cannon. His enthusiasm greeted many of his interruptions. That the Senator feels deeply the position in which his controversy with the Justice Department has posed, has made him more aware after his reference to the Brownville affair: "It for what I have done in this behalf I am to be eliminated from politics," he said. "I am to know that I shall at least carry with me into private life the consoling satisfaction of feeling and knowing that I am not going to never regret, but always esteem as credible to my heart as a man and to my sense of justice and duty as a public official." Senator Foraker opened his address with the remark that it was just twenty-two years since he had spoken to the graduates of Willisforce. He then disbanded the committee in that time, the progress of the Negro and the hopeful outlook. He then mentioned the men prominent in Ohio and the twenty-two years and paid tribute to McKinley, Hanna and others. Of President Roosevelt he said: "At that time Theodore Roosevelt was a man of people, but he, too, had been laying the foundations broad and deep on which he was to build that remarkable character, that he had made of the United States, but to fill the whole world with the fame of his deeds." Mr. Parker, then talked of the Spam- 1906 in 1916. In 1916, he parlayed the Ne- t They were represented among the volunteers we raised for the Spanish-American War. They were given the right to fight for the battles in Cuba. No braver troops bore the fing to victory in that contest than the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry and the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth in every firing line, and some of them perished in every clash of arms. They died fighting side by side with the white soldiers, and wherever there was hard service or danger, they were present and did their full share. Speaking of the Brownsville affair Senator Foraker said in part: "The investigation has not yet been conducted, however, what has been accomplished. That this may be the better understood it is well to recall that the President's order dismissing the the entire reports made by officers of the Inspector-General's Department and certain testimony taken by the citizens of Brownville. This seemed to the President to be a violation of the certain reports made by the raiders and that other of the battalion had knowledge of their identity, but would not disclose it. The testimony and the reports upon him made by the raiders and insufficient to establish guilt, after it had been dissected in the discussions in the Senate the President, apparently recognizing its uncertain nature, had assistant attorney-general, and Major Blockson to Texas to take testimony to establish the fact. They took the affidavits of a great number of the raiders and cartridges and bullets from the streets and houses of Brownville. The sheds and clips and cartridges and bullets all seemed to indicate that the firing party had army ammunition and the wife. "The President sent this testimony to the Senate, sitting in the message transmitting it that it left no room for doubt that some of the soldiers were guilty of shooting up the town and that many of them who did not participate were guilty of the same credence as to the identity of the raiders and were guilty of withholding that knowledge. "It was after this testimony was so transmitted that the investigation was ordered by the Senate. The purpose of it was to establish the facts, only generally to establish the facts," but only "1. To give the men a chance to be heard in their own defense. 2. To fix the identity of the soldiers guilty of the shooting, if any of them were guilty." "3. To ascertain and report all other important facts connected with the shooting which it might be possible to establish. There were 167 non-commissioned officers and men discharged without honor. About sixty of these have been called and examined as witnesses. These men were all examined very carefully and commissioned. The fact that all of all the testimony was to show that there was not a missing cartridge or a dirty gun in the whole battalion; that the soldiers were in a good state of discipline, under entire control and out of any such compiency, would prove because of any mistreatment they are any of them might have received at the hands of the citizens of Brownville, during the progress of the investigation. Ward Department has a microscopic examination to be done in the streets of Brownville, a peak, as stated in the report here, who was made the defendant that is THE Browndville had been fired out of four certain guns. "It it was further shown that one of these guns was on the night of the shooting in an armored under lock and bury grant of that company, and that it had never been fired, except only on the target range at Fort Niobrara. All of the other three guns were to have been dependent on the hands of the men who were in the attack, and that it had never been fired except at Fort Niobrara. This fact as to these three guns being dependent on human testimony might be difficult to prove, but it was in the armored there was no room for dispute. It could not have been fired and was not fired that night. From this fact it necessarily followed that if the gun had been fired out of the Brownville were fired out of that gun, then they were not fired at Brownville the night of the raid, but at Fort Niobrara before the battalion left New York, and the presence of the shells in Brownville, for long before it was known that any such question would arise it had been proved that Company B brought from the attack a shell exploded shells and clips, which stood on the back porch of their barracks uncovered for some days following their arrival, during which time anyone who came into the attack removed the shells clips therefrom which were afterward found in the streets. "The effect of all this testimony, when properly analysed and weighed, went to show that no one in the battalion was wrongly withholding knowledge with or to it. They simply and nothing whatever do so, so the soldiers were acquitted a second time." Mr. Forsaker said that most of the personal testimony taken was worthless, because the man in question which there was no dispute. The only question, he said, about which there has been no evidence, was that men who did the shooting were soldiers of the garrison or were somebody else. but unarmed, Korban said. "Various people, including the shooting, went to their windows, looked out into a night of unusual darkness, and at a distance ranging all the way from the house, the man who were doing the firing and the men whom are Negroes wearing the uniform of United States soldiers. All the officers of the battalion, in addition to the aid of artificial light at a night in favor of their men, testified that he could not tell his officers, who were white, from his enlisted men, who were colored, ten feet away from him, and that he could not tell them about clothing. The testimony of many other officers was to the same effect. These officers are all intelligent, honorable, high-minded men. Why are they bothered myself about this matter? My critics have assigned a good many reasons, all of a reprehensible character. Let me tell you the real language of Secretary Taft. I will tell you said when Athens, Ohio, was shot up two or three years ago by a lot of white soldiers of the Regular Army who were in Guard. He sent representatives of the Government to look after the defense of the men who had been arrested for the crime. The citizen of Athens protested, more or less a law of the Government; and if the Government steps in merely to see that he is tried according to law, it seems to me that it is an exercise of the man who was a lawless officer. "That answer was a credit to both his head and his heart. The reason that prompted him prompted me. I thought that what a white soldier was entitled to and that a soldier was entitled to at Brownies, Tex. "I do not question the good faith of the President or of the Secretary of War, but when I looked at the reports of Major Blockson and General Garlington, upon which the President submitted therewith, upon which the President also I felt that whether it was intentional or not he had been misled." Senator Foraker then quoted from the testimony of General Garlington to show that the general had a prejudice against the Nero soldiers and had said that they were corroborated, and continued: "I do not wish to disparage General Garlington. He has the reputation of being a good officer, and I have no doubt he is, so far as the general duties as a captain are concerned, that this testimony I submit that it was gravely unfortunate that such an affray as that at Brownville should have been investigated and reported upon to the President by one who has so little confidence in him, and that the coloured men he has expressed. The prejudice against Negroes, and against these Negro soldiers in particular, so strongly expressed by him, was shared in, in so far as they could be induced to believe that the officers were practically every witness from Brownville who testified on the subject. All assumed from the first shot that was fired, without any testimony whatever, and soldiered while doing the firing that was given to their denials of guilt. "The investigation may prove futile to know who did the firing, but it will always be known that the men have at a chance to state their side of the case." A. Honor Student. Noww: t. June 25—Friday, June 21. Miss King Louise Voorhees of this city, graduated from the tate Normal Training School at Willimantic, Conn. Miss Voorhees is the first colored girl to complete the course in two years at this normal school. The graduation exercises took place at the Loamer Opera House, New York, where she was the Wives of Miss Ella P. King and Gladys Holmes of this city, Rev. A. Clayton Powell of New Haven, Mr. and Mrs. David Wilber of Heaford, and Miss J. C. Powell of morning there was practiced in the first grade; taught music teaching, and Miss Voorhees, who had and reading. Miss Lady has previously honored Norwich in 1905, when she received a diploma from the Norwich Free Academy, the first co-educated graduate in the four years' course in many years. In初中 school, 1901, she was the only one of our race in her class of eighty-nine. Governor Rollin S. Woodruff of Connecticut, was present at the Normal School exercise last Friday and presented information to a class of thirty-seven. AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION NEW YORK, THURSDAY; JUNE 27, 1907 WASHINGTON, June 24.—Washington is just upon the threshold of the usual "holiday" season. This is the one feature of Washington life that distinguishes it from other urban communities at this season of the year. Other cities, of course, experience intermittently the holiday, fever and the social and business injustice which it produces, but nowhere as in Washington is the whole community so thoroughly affected at the same time and for so long a period. Unlike the hustling spirit of healthful commerce and business, generally, politics, diplomacy, education and "society" have periods of suspension, and in the very nature of things commerce and business are but incidents of the life here; the holiday season is determined by the activities of the latter factors. The harbinger of its advent is the exodus of the President and his retinue, but the children and youth, for whom and around determine its real business center, not out of harms until the schools close. Then on all sides and among the schools close, and classes, the pass is passed: Who are you going to spend your summer? Schools closed here yesterday, and probably never in the history of the school system, the event been marked by as much welcome anxiety. On Friday evening, June 14, the commencement exercises of the High, Manual Training and Normal schools, the first of which was colored branch of the Washington-school system, were held at Convention Hall and were witnessed by a large audience two hundred graduates. Various cases and functions have marked the beginning of the vacation, the final and most anxiously awaited event being the commencement education, which was held this afternoon. This has been a memorable year in school circles here, and the rapidly occurring and extraordinary developments community life from center to circumference has followed sensation from the very inauguration of the new school organization to the close of the meeting Teachers, children, parents, lawyers, press, have talked "schools" at morning and evening, and the sensation still lives. Congress looked briefly into until the "long session," the courts had had the matter with them since the beginning, and there is more to follow. It is not unnoticed, therefore, that the great welcome a season of respite. It is not reasonable to mention herein all of the many developments in school life here during the past year. The readers of the events that marked the beginning of the new school year at the National Capital. Following is a resume of recent changes, including those made by the events of education at its meeting tonight: Prof. R. C. Bruce has been promoted from the position of supervising principal to that of assistant superintendent, to the position of new position, as mentioned recently $2,000. Prof. Bruce succeeds Dr. W. S. Montgomery, who has filled the position since 1900. Dr. Montgomery will fill the position vacated by Prof. Bruce. Dr. F. L. Cardozo, Jr. at the dean of King Hall, and later professor of history in Howard University, was appointed about the first of June to the position of supervising principal, to succeed Prof. F. L. Cardozo, Jr. At the time of his appointment, Rev. Tunnell tendered his resignation, and will resume work at Howard University. Fortunately for Rev. Tunnell, Howard University had closed when he was appointed to the new position, and he will continue to stipend without disturbing his relations with the university. There is, therefore, a position of supervising principal still vacant. The position pays $2,000 the first year and increases in salary for five years. Prof. Lucy E. Moten's position as principal of the Washington Normal School was declared by the board to night-in for competitive examination in September. The Normal school for twenty old years and has a National reputation as an educator. There is a strong faction in the board of education in favor of the removal of Dr. Moten. Dr. Moten was the principal of the Arnstrong Manual Training School, and it made a determined effort at night-to meet of the board to execute its purpose, but did not succeed. Dr. Evans has been principal of the Arnstrong Training School since its establishment. Many other changes in minor principalships and teacherships have also been made which have tended to heighten the regard to school affairs. In the meantime some changes have taken place in respect to the membership of the board of education. Dr. Horner has been made by Mr. Richard Horner a very reputable and successful lawyer, Mr. Horner possesses rare qualities that qualify him for service on the board of education, and the citizenship of District 10 is much in the way of some, conservative and honed stewardship. Mr. Horner will not enter upon his duties until July 1. One of the interesting things about the recent election for membership on the board of education is the personnel of the candidates. That the number of candidates would be legion was natural and that the there would be candidates who are in no sense qualified and whose selection would have made "confusion worse, confounded." But there are other ways to serve the query about town now is "Why this change of heart?" Washington is proud of its crop of young men and women who are at this season great good to serve. The query about town now is "Why this change of heart?" Washington is proud of its crop of young men and women who are at this season great good to serve. Four years ago they went out as pioneers in a sense to bless the way, which has been followed annually by a constantly increasing number. Within the past four years nearly two score of young men, and women have been admitted to this city to the leading institutions of learning. The conceptions of the idea that they could do this and the determination to accomplish the same, have favored developments in educational circles in the District of Columbia. It is true that this is the Nation's capital and lt. therefore, might be expected that the Potomac River made one of the boundary lines of the seat of the Nation. Mr. Samuel Compton graduates from Brown University, where he has made a career in education, given to liberal education for all. But the Potomac River made one of the boundary lines of the seat of the Nation. Mr. Samuel Compton graduates from Brown University, where he has made a career in education, given to liberal education from Harvard. Mimi Jennings Lawson, the daughter of Mr. Jesse Lawson, from Oberlin, and Mimi Lola Bainton from the Western Reserve University. Mr. James Medical department of Howard University. The alumni of Howard University, scattered all over the country, will regret to learn the retirement of Prof. Frederick W. Fairfield from the faculty of the university. Prof. Fairfield has been for a number of years dean of the college of arts and sciences, is which capacity he has rendered eminent services to the university and to the general cause of education. Quiet and inobtrusive in manner, careful and accurate in methods, available and gentle of temperament and spirit, he has won the esteem and gratitude of the men and women who have passed, from his instruction to the useful walks of life. He retires at the dawn of what may be called the Renaissance of Howard University, for there are many evidences of a new life all over. He has, however, a very important and very important role in the development of the University. Curtis, has recently written an interesting and exceedingly instructive account of the achievements and aims of Howard University as gathered in an interview with Dr. Thirfield. Dr. Thirfield seems to grasp thoroughly the great mission of the university, and is full of the purpose to realize it, and with those about him jubilated with a kindred seal the result cannot be in doubt. It is certainly a hopeful sign that the spirit of the heartag criticism and idle contention has given way to a fine and sturdy enthusiasm. KNOWLEDGE OF STENOGRAPHY THE ROAD TO SUCCESS Government Looking for Good Stenographers, Who Receive Rapid Promotion. WASHINGTON, June 24.—There are two great men managing the affairs of the United States Treasury, who own their success to Ben Pittman, the founder of stenography. The Secretary of the Treasury, Hon. George B. Cortelroy; who a few years ago was a stenographer in the Post Office Department, and the auditor for the Navy Department (Treasury), Hon. Ralph W. Tylor, who a few weeks ago was put in secretary to the manager of the Office of the State Journal. These two distinguished gentlemen are an example of what can be gained by knowledge to young and should be benefited to young and to make a specialty of this art. The Government offers excellent opportunities for employment to proficient stenographers. The Civil Service Commission willumble to finish sufficient eligibility to fill vacancies. Perhaps the two youngest stenographers Uncle Sam has ever employed are Mr. Charles S. Thomas of this city, employed in the Administrative Office, Bolling, Jr. Richmond, Virginia, employed in the office of the Chief Engineer, Navy Yard, Norfolk, Virginia. Neither of these gentlemen had reached their twentieth year at the time of their appointment, but they have two exceptionally bright Afro-Americans. That they are proficient is shown by their rapid promotion. A little over a year ago they entered the services at a salary of $000 per annum. Mr. Bolling received $1,000, the highest salary paid in his office. The reorganization of the Government Printing Office, legislated about 429 men and women out of office. There were more than 400 employees among the unfortunate. Mr. Carter, the only colored pressman that has ever been employed in Uncle Sam's big printery, was among the unfortunate. Mr. Robert Duncan has designated him as a pressman in the Treasury Department, to accept a membership in the office of the Adjunct General of the War Department. The matty friends of Mr. R. W. Thompson have been asked to know that Mr. Thompson will reside in this city after finishing his work as special agent for the Jamestown Exposition Company. Mr. Thompson was formerly an attache of the War Department at Jeffersonville, the office of the Secretary of War this city. Mr. Frank Wells, formerly messenger to Commissioner H. B. F. Macefairland, of the District of Columbia, has been appointed pressman in the executive office of the District. The Civil Service Commission announces an examination to be held in principal cities to secure eligibles for expert and special agents to make the examination. The examination will be held on the 24th of July. Dr. Washington Written for "The World's Work." Principal Booker T. Washington of the Tuskegee Institute has written for The World's Work. New York, two articles to appear respectively in the July and August number of that magazine on Mount. Barnes, "Harvard in the Middle," and "Willowerforce: A Negro College Town." The articles deal with the pioneer spirit and accomplishments of the group of Negro men who are building the Negro town of Mound Bayou in the early 19th century, an older community which began its life long before the War of the Rebellion, as a refuge for Negroes who sought freedom from slavery. Each article is designed to exhibit the spirit of progress which at present animates the community, a legacy of safety and safe civilization for himself and his children. The World's Work is one of the strongest of American magazines, and the articles will reach and influence public opinion of the most commanding kind. Among the students from Kings County who attend Cornell University by the State Commission of Education, was Roscoe Conkling Giles, son of Counselor F. F. Giles. Fonga Giles recently won second prize at "How's Your High School in a contest of oratory." Society of Friends Support Afro- American Charities Benefited by Large Gifts. The Committee on Home and Location have arranged for all visitors and League members to be taken care of at an average of 81 per day. The League will be able to hold up the delegates on this item. The officers of the Toppe League have just issued a special invitation to all members of the National League and Collegiate teams to meet and assuming them a profitable and interisting stay in Kansas.

Bens, June 24.—To-day one will find that Afro-Americans throughout the South are limiting schemeurs for the extension of their commercial powers more so than ever before. Their productive needs is steadily increasing and the product of the industrial class is up to the standard. As habitually they are becoming more of the capital of the country. While this is true, competition of present trades with an active force of workers, laborers, and shareholders, and the like, is still a clear-headed view, so far as to great commercial efforts. There are commendable enterprise among us today simply suffering for the want of energetic, young men of ability, to fill the vacancy of the great business of the world. Will it be that these positions are open? Well, in a white establishment you will find young men who begin as runners and women who are the management of the business of the great business of the world, and the business, then they become industrial managers through their training, their ability to organise, to keep a disciplined force and to furnish the necessary knowledge and skills to the business. The business is not willing to go through this preparation and are usually looking for a job in order that they may be able to have the opportunity to work in the business. Our people that have the capital and allow same to remain at a standstill. The young Afro-American who has a new idea and the power to put this idea into the market, and to make it into the promoter, finds it difficult to get these misers to invest a few dollars to boat the scheme. A skilful manager, whether he is a large stockholder in the capital, or a small shareholder, is the important as the capital invested. This fact must be impressed upon a number of our people. The North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, with the support of the American and headquarters for the New Bern district, under the superintendency of Mr. J. T. Rarker, has over 1,000 policies in force in New Bern and 850 Afro-American companies. The 1,000 policies are one month and fifty death claims have been paid-in a month. With over $26,000 worth of assets, thirty-two branch offices in North Carolina, and twelve other offices in New Bern, the high financial skill of a number of our people. Banks, cotton mills and other enterprises, must be formulated by our people more numerously under such circumstances. The business is not pay them according to their worth. It is a fact that we need a daily paper in the financial center of this country that will, such as the means of people, to pay their costs, and to make them dissimilating their capital and to also stimulate the money-inventing class of our people. Our enterprises will make an undue profit, and they must be paid to the profit they would be without their war. It is a task to set up their men of the race to prepare themselves by actual work for lucrative positions. They often prefer to settle down to a position of less than a half a year, and the cost of taking $1 at the end of the week to taking chances on earning $10 each week in making a position. For themselves by building up their own, enterprises. MANY RECEIVE DIPLOMAS. Convention Hall, Washington, Scene of Flie Exercise WASHINGTON. June 24.—The excellence of the Washington high schools was attested June 14 when the commencement exercises of Norma' chool No. 2. M.街 School and A. mourning Training School were held the Convention Hall. The big auditorium with a capacity for seating 6,000 people, was tested to its extreme limit in order to accommodate the throng assembled to witness the event, which has for years been connected with the public school system. The scene within the hall throughout the evening was most attractive. The 101 beautiful girls and many young men merit in scholarship during years of severe study, was a complete assurance of the splendid school organization here. Promptly at 8 o'clock the long line of graduates marched into the hall in order to enter the crossed midway in the long hall and facing the west. Palms and cut flowers were used in the greatest profusion on the stage. The Marine Hand discussed popular selection throughout the evening, and the Rivers of Heron Baptist church, pronounced the invocation, and Mr. William V. Cox of the board of education, presiding officer of the exercises, delivered a short introductory address, lending the work of the graduates and their instructors. Rev. M. W. Clair, the pastor of the Ashbury A. M. E. church, followed with an able address on the progress of the race and the opportunities presented in the city, and followed with an educational development along social, educational and moral lines. The address of Dr. Clair was received with warm applause, after which Dr. Winfield Scott Montgomery, the principal of the schools, followed with the announcement of the scholarships awarded seven of the graduates, as follows: Fannie Holland, Cornell; Captain John R. Pinkett, Amherst; Captain John R. Pinkett, Rogers; Western Reserve; Personal Webster, denier, Howard; Charles Herman Flagg, pharmacy, Howard; Thomas U. Alexander, Amherst. The two hundred-dollar scholarship, submitted by teachers of the school, was awarded by competitive examination. No pupil was allowed to enter the examination who did not have a record of good or better. By agreement among the teachers of the school, two parts. The first part, $150, was awarded to Samuel H. Brear, who will enter Rowding College. The second part was awarded Miss Rosalie Lane, who will enter Missin College. College students will enter the above number, making the total number fourteen. Hon. Thomas H. Anderson, associate justice of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, will enter the Junior College. He congratulated the graduates upon their fine appearance and offered his best wishes for their success in life. As the students received their diplomas, their names were called by the principal. The Junior College School delegation came first, followed by the M street high school and the Normal school No. 2. Mr. W. A. Hunton, international secretary for the colored Y. M. C. A., and recently a delegate to the World Y. M. C. A. Convention, held in Japan, is making addresses in California while four living homeward. A GYMNASIUM FOR CHICAGO Movement to Checkmate Influence of Saloons RECREATION NECESSARY The Frederick Douglass Centre's Gym. One of its Most Popular Features. Cincinnati, June 24—A number of our leading citizens in Chicago are united in an effort to secure for our young men a well-equipped gym. We need for an institution of the kind be­ fored population of this city the increase the comes more and more apparent. A study of social conditions shows that such habitual gymnasiums, public playgrounds, parts of the gymnasium, version and health-giving exercises are not fads, but are as necessary as food, water and pure air. I think it is wholly true that our young men and women are most entirely without these popular prili­legs. Our young people have no resort except the church, and the churches are too much burdened by debts and purely pool rooms have been built in the manner as resorts for many of our fleet young men. A large percentage of them growing and restless young men go to these places because there is no other way to find them. We are coeli­ally welcomed and where they find such coeli­nal com­rade­ship. In founding the Frederick Douglas Centre, a provision was made for a gymnasium of limited size. This has allowed the provision to feature of this interesting and busy institution. These cramped quarters are eagerly sought by as fine a group of men as any race. The limited space furnished by the Centre does not meet requirements. It merely serves to show what is needed and that a well-equipped gymnasium would be a city for our young people. Nearly every other race of people in this city have taken pains to throw around their young men attractive and healthful influences to their city for their city evil that continually lie in wait, for them. These gymnasiums, built and maintained solely for white young men are crowded night and day. Here the young men are cultivated that make them strong against the constant call to dissipations of various kinds. It has taken our people two years to earn to become interested and around to help our young men helping our young men and women to make the most of themselves. A committee of our leading men are now determined to reach far-reaching results. These men are determined that the young Afro-American shall not much longer be without a well-equipped gymnasium. They have a public sentiment and financial help is confidently expected from the college people themselves, and from others oweable to donate liberally to so good a cause. (This is the success in getting about what they determine upon. Provident Hospital and Training School, the Old Folks' Home, are happy illustrations of what we can do when we are once armed. I have been reliably informed that a large number of from mudders are being employed in the Chicago foundries and in the South and they are said to be first-class men. At any rate, they are eagerly sought after and employed, and receive the same scale of wages paid to white men. Speaking of mechanics holding responsible positions, there are more of them than is generally known. The attention of your correspondent was called the day after the over twenty years has been employed by a large firm known as the H. W. Caldwell & Son, dealers in general machinery. For a long time Mr. Gordon had charge of a shining department for the firm. He now owns a private city buyer. In the same firm is another colored man named George Hancock. He is an expert patternmaker, and there穿 through hooks for inspection of prints in the same private business. There are many more of this kind, but they are not known. Unlike the politicians and office-seekers, he themselves themselves and napping themselves with Merri talks, but in a language all its own. FANNIE BARRIER WILLIAMS. NYACK UP AND DOING. ANNOVERSAR / CLOSING AT ST. PALL CHAIR TO BE GREAT EVENT Dr. R. D. Stinson in New England New York Forum Meeting. CAMMERON, June 25.—Among the visitors to our university city last Sabbath who worshipped at St. Paul A. M. E. church were Mrs. Rev. W. P. Pearson, whose husband pastored four years ago. She arrived from the British West Ladies last week with her son to witness the graduation of her daughter. She was introduced to Dr. Snelson by Editor and Mrs. W. H. Lee, and by the pastor to the congregation, and she made an interesting address. Also Professor James M. Henderson, Jr., son of President Henderson of Payne University, Selfa, Ala. The professor is taking a course in mathematics at the Harvard University summer school. The historic fraternity turned out on St. John's day at Union Baptist church. Dr. Harrell delivered the sermon acceptably. The Cambridge Men's Forum had a speaker last Sabbath Bath. Samuel Bossfield, who for many years was employed on The Boston Herald and later on The Reverse Press, whose subject, "The History and Growth of Bookmaking," proves that the author's own work, Wardshaw, Harris, Contee, Miller, Dr. Snelson and others took part in the discussion. The attendance is kept up to the standard in spite of the hot weather. Next Sabbath Rev. Miss Mary Taylor will preach a sermon to the Forum, to which all are invited. Miss Sodie Williams, district and conifer, independent, addressed St. Paul Sunday school on "The Cradle Roll." Miss Arlene Thornton, recent high school, graduate, accepted the local superintendency of the Cradle Roll for Cambridge. Miss Williams' visit was an inspiration to all. She hails from Proviidence, R. L. A. M. E. church and is an honorable worker there. She will be on a picnic to Lexington Park last Saturday was a most enjoyable day of pleasure. Fast End Christian Union, under Superintendent Walker, will take a large free picnic excursion to Echo Bridge on Thursday. A great crowd will go as usual. On Monday night, July 1, at an entertainment entitled "Anniversary Closing" at St. Paul A. M. E. church address of Dr. Snelson will be made by the mayor of Cambridge, Senator Macdonald, Representative Myers, President M. F. Handlin, Rev. Dr. Duckrey, Messrs. C. G. Morgan, R. Henry Rhodes, Deacon Holden, Dr. Frank F. Davis, Dr. W. C. Lane, F. D. Harris and others. The following will report on their "Gleaners" and the one reporting the largest amount will receive a Bible, presented by Mayor Wardwell. "Those in the gleamer contest are Messieurs, vector, James Lee, art Messieurs, David Maysgomery, Greene, Carpenter, Lands, Misses Lowerville, Thomas and others." The Rev. G. H. White of Washington, D. C., is on his first visit to Boston, and is the guest of his only son, Mr. Richard White, of the Cambridge P. O. Station A. He is enjoying a cordial welcome. He preached at St. Paul A. M. E. church for Dr. Snelson Sunday morning and made a pleasant impression on all present.

In other words, the public should understand that the need of the institute for its constant and liberal support will be as great as it ever has been. The fact that Mr. Washington has been able to raise a large sum, year after year, for the institute is an evidence of the justity high esteem in which the work is held. If my acceptance of the chairmanship of the board shall be accepted, as it ought to be, as the most conclusive testimony that it is in my power to give to the importance of Tuskegee as an undertaking of national concern, I must be very glad to have the time to consider the will of the thought also to en- Wm.

BALTIMORE, June 26—The tenth annual meeting of the National Afro-American Council began here to-day. Delegates were present from all parts of the country. After the meeting of the executive committee, Rev. Dr. A. L. Gaines, chairman of the local committee, delivered a short address. In the afternoon welcoming addresses were delivered by Dr. J. H. N. Waring, W. C. C. Kendall, M. J. Naylor and Harry T. Pratt, all of this city. Responses were made by Hon. J. C. Dancy, Walter M. Farmer, Prof. Frank M. Williams and Bishop A. Graut. At night Bishop Alexander Walters president of the council, delivered his annual address. He said, in part: "Bull indeed, must be the student of passing events who has not noticed the change in the world. We must be lynching lately to lynch law. While lynching has not been banished from the land, which we all greatly regret, sentiment in the South, as well as the North, is against it. Ten years ago the entire press of the South openly and boldly advocated lynch law; to-day you cannot find but a newspaper in Southern paper that would do nothing to lynch law; if we will keep up the fight against this fearful business we will rid the land of the lynch demon. It will never be done if we fold our arms and sit ill by, but we must be up and at the work, and this must be done by agitation, as well as by making better Negro citizens. The need to deal with Narrative Government is needed to deal a knock-out blow to lynch law. "The humiliating Jim Crow law is still with us and must be fought to the death. Surely we are not going to cry peace as long as the separate coaches are in existence. It is a disgrace to our civilization and we must ever fight it. There must not be any let up until the Jim Crow car has passed into oblivion. "The ballot is the badge of political equality; indeed, it is the insignia of full citizenship, and the obtaining of it should be the ambition of every man, whether he be black or white. Our first duty is to educate the musset to an appreciation of the ballot. This can be done by flooding the country with literature on the subject." "Some of our leaders are discouraged because the awakening of the masses to an appreciation of their civil rights has not gone as rapidly as they had hoped. Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, editor of The New York Age, has announced his intention to sever his connection with all those who are ill and are slow to take hold and support them. He seems to have forgotten how enthusiastically and joyfully they support their churches and benevolent institutions. The truth is, that they have not been sufficiently educated along these particular lines. It requires years and years of patient toll to educate a people up to an appreciation of their rights. Think how long it has taken the peasants of Russia to obtain the rights they were waiting to come. Think of the years at bearer, still required to awaken the master of France to their rights, but what a fearful awakening." After dealing with various phases of the race question, the speaker spoke at length of the soldiers. He highly praised Senator Foraker, saying: "All honor to Senator Foraker of Ohio, the noblest Roman of them all. But for his manly and courageous stand our brave black boys might have gone down in shame and disgrace. In history he will go down as one of the Nation's greatest benefactors, and will be remembered as Thaddeus Stevens and Charles Summer, who, in their day, wrought mightily in the interest of the oppressed black man." Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams of Chicago, and Rev. Dr. S. L. Corrothers of Washington, also spoke. Mr. J. Douglas on the work of the legal burrow. The council will adjourn Friday. FRANKLIN F. JOHNSON. T. McCANTS STEWART. A Former Brooklyn Lawyer Starts a Bar Association in Monroeville. News comes from far off West, friea the institution of a bar association in monroeville, Libern, in the organization of such a former Brooklyn attorney, a hero of fluency, confidence and industry. He had a large part. It is called the Library of Monroeville. Its inaugural meeting was held in the Senate Chamber at Monroeville on January 2, last. Its first secretary is T. McCants Stewart, who formerly lived and practised his profession in this borough. Mr. Stewart was also a member of the Brooklyn Board of Education. He was a member of the Mayor Chapin Anomalous, although he was a Negro Democrat. It is now several years since Stewart gave up his residence in Brooklyn. He first went to Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands, but afterward removed to Montserrado county, Liberia, where he now practices law. The formation of a bar association, National in its scope, had been mooted for a long time in Liberia, but it did not come to a head until in September last when members of the bench and bar, delivered an address in which he urged that the matter be taken up and disposed of during the legislative session, when lawyers from all parts of the republic would be in Monrovin. At the close of the term term, a meeting of the members of the bar was called by Judge A. J. Matthews of the Court of Common Pleas, and the immediate organization of an association was decided upon. A committee to draft a constitution, selected by Judge Matthews, immediately to the next meeting of the bar, which was on December 18 last, and the association was thereupon incorporated by the Legislature. The proceedings and addresses at the inaugural meeting, recently published, have reached friends of Lawyer Stewart in this borough, and a perusal of the pamphlet indicates that the new bar association in that far-off part of the west coast of Africa is made up of a number of active attorneys, of which the former Brooklynite, T. McCants Stewart, is not by any means the least. Norwalk, Nettra. Ladies day at the Knight street A. M. E. church was carried out under the management of Mrs. Rose Taylor, the New England evangelist.

St. Louis, Mo., June 20. The annual commencement exercises of Washington University were held this morning, the baccalaureate address being delivered by the Right Hon. James Bryce, British ambassador to the United States. The day marked the fifthth anniversary of the inauguration of the work of the university. Ambassador Bryce spoke in part as follows: "Ideals are as high in America as anywhere else in the world. You prize the things of the mind and the soul as being the things which make the truest greatness of a nation. You can the more safely do so because your material prosperity is assured by the marvelous resources at your command. All that can be measured in figures, be they figures of dollars or tons, or bushels or bales, you have at your disposal compared with that of the Europeans for you have no external enemy to fear; you need no vast floats or armies to protect you. In your industries and trade there will, of course, be ups and downs, but your soil and your minerals are more than sufficient to provide an ever-expanding employment, with an ever-increasing wealth. The unique mission which provides sooms to have entrusted to you is to show the world how immense natural resources may be used, not in baskets on which to build up the highest form of natural life; to cultivate the delights which intellect and tastes open to us; to set the noblest example of a people not only prosperous and free, but enlightened, happy and contented." 38th STREET Bet. 7th and 8th Avenues Four story and basement, brief dwelling, 18 rooms, bath.

Hughes, the Governor of New York, is unlike any of his predecessors in that high office. Instead of playing politics all or most of the time, he plays Governor all of the time, attends to the business for which the people elected him, refusing to interfere in legislation except to make recommendations and to veto bad bills when they reach him; he refuses to dicker; he does not compromise on what he thinks is right; he puts it up to the Legislature and the politicians, and they either take to the woods or face the music. In any event, he has the whole of them on the run. While other men all over the country are chasing the Presidential will-o'-the-wisp, and live in a constant state of mind, Governor Hughes attends to his business as Governor, and if he has any thoughts about the Presidency he has nothing to say about it. Now, the people like that sort of man. Being a sound Republican with a wise head and a strong backbone, sticking always closely to the business in hand, it is natural that he should have the wise ones guessing. They do not know what to make of him, because he is not built like them; but the people understand him thoroughly and are surprised and gratified to find that the tribe of him has not become extinct, so long has it been before since a specimen of it was conspicuous in the politics of the Nation. New Yorkers are all gratified that, whether or not conditions be such at the next National Republican Convention that a New York man can be nominated to succeed a New York man in the White House, they have a man who is entirely fit to do so. Passenger Rate Question. Some of the railroads with New York as a base are accused by the Interstate Commerce Commission with not only giving immigrants cruel handling while waiting for passage, but inferior accommodations when in transit, and with charging them a first-class fare. In stating the case for the Commission, Assistant United States District Attorney Henry A. Wise had this to say: "We are dealing with the initial carrier. If the immigrant pays a first-class price for his passage he is entitled to equally good service as the first-class passenger. We will present our case here and maybe bring in the Western roads afterward." Very good. If that is the Federal view of the matter, then, not only the Western roads will be brought in, but the Southern roads as well. We have been waiting for the Interstate Commerce Commission to take up this matter of passenger discrimination, and we shall watch the outcome of its investigation with interest. If European immigrants can be protected in their passenger rights it stands to reason that Afro-Americans can be protected in theirs. Organization Is Needed as a Matter of Course. There is no man in the country whose good understanding and faithfulness to the best interests of the Afro-American people we appreciate more than those of Mr. William Harrison Steward of The American Baptist. He is a man of the largest intelligence, of the greatest usefulness in all good works, and with the faith in that he believes which the Good Book tells us can move mountains. The good opinion of such a man is always worth looking after as an asset. In a recent issue of Tite-American Baptist Mr. Steward, who has for years been associated with the writer in organization work, says that while the writer may have lost faith in the work of organization, organization and the work of organization are still necessary. Now, the writer has not lost faith in organization or the work of organization. What he has lost faith in is the ability and willingness of the Afro-American people to organize and do the work of organization. After having reached this conclusion, after thirty years of agitation and effort at organization, with failure at every remove, because the masses would not respond and the thoughtful people were always moved by divided counsels and purposes, he deemed it for the best to cleave close to the line of principles he had always championed and still believes to be good and to attend to the business of journalism, which is and has always been his immediate concern and best interest. There was nothing selfish in this. It was but the reluctant acceptance of a demonstrated fact. Let any one who will go over the ef- fusion which have been made since the Revolution to effect organiza- tion and defence of the nation. assurance of success. Ignominious failure has marked the passage of all effort at organization, at concert of action and understanding. We have even failed at perfecting a newspaper organization on the sane and sensible plan of business and mutual help which the writer outlined in an address at the meeting of the Afro-American Press Association, at Cincinnati, fifteen years ago. We have even no press association to-day. That which we had is as dead as a door nit. Why? We have developed religious, social fraternal and secret organizations galore, and some of them flourish as green bay tree, but their main purposes have been to care for the sick and bury the dead and to lay up treasures in heaven where they can't be reached and used for every-day needs; but of organization to preserve our just rights under the Constitution and defend them—no organization we have had is or has been more than "the shadow of the substance of things hoped for." A lot of people say it has been for lack of leadership, but that is an absurdity; it has been because of lack of intelligence and interest of the mass of the people in the most vital of their interests as men and citizens. Under the influence of Frederick Douglass, Joseph C. Price, the writer, William H. Steward, Alexander Walters, W. E. B. DuBois, from 1868 to the present, they have gathered in civic conventions and indignation meetings of all sorts and shown all sorts of enthusiasm and adopted all sorts of resolutions, but nothing has come of it, no after effort has availed anything, the great mass of the people has not been touched with the fire of enthusiasm which leads to concerted and sustained effort, and all in the face of as determined a preconcerted determination to deprive the race of all honorable status in the life of the Republic as was ever made in the history of mankind. The enemies of the Afro-American people have been determined and tireless in their propaganda to reduce them to a slave condition in the life of the Republic, but the Afro-American people have opposed no wise and systematic opposition to the propaganda, and, what is more deplorable, show no disposition to go so. It is because of widespread division and dissension among the thoughtful men and women of the Afro-American people and the stupid if not criminal indifference of the mass of the people to the preservation of their liberty and equality under the law by organization, by the aggregation of numbers and the multitude of counsel and the matching of pennies, that the editor of THE AGGREED some time ago to do his share of the work of fighting for the right as an individual. There is plenty of work for civic organizations to do, but civic organization cannot be got, such as we have being such in name and not in substance. When the thoughtful men and women of the Afro-American people cease to divide among themselves over non-essentials and deride and slander each other to the scandal of the world, and when the masses wake up to what is their right and what is being done to deprive them of it, there may be some hope for the preservation of their liberties under the Federal Constitution, but not before. Radical and Conservative Politics Radicalism has got such a strong hold on the politics of both the Republican and Democratic parties that no conservative of either can hope to win if he should get the nomination. Now, strangely enough, Senator Foraker, who used to be rated as a Radical of the Radicals on the race question, is now regarded by the country at large as a Conservative on that issue, owing to the cratic action of the President in the Brownsville discharge order and on the railway rate legislation policy of the Administration. It is a remarkable development of our politics which makes of Joseph Benson Foraker a Conservative, because, as a matter of fact, he has not changed his views either on the race question or the relations of the Government toward corporations; he is what he has always been, an old-time Republican, wedded to the good and some policies which have made this country prosperous at home and respected abroad—the policies which saved the Union of the States from disruption by the Slavoerats, which freed the slaves and gave them the ballot, which reorganized the finances of the country upon a gold basis, so that an American dollar is worth its face value anywhere on the globe, and which, by wise legislation, nurtured and sustained the industrial interests of the country so that it has grown rich beyond the dreams of Croesus. Because he is a Conservative—as the public mind has moved forward toward radical theories and will continue in the same direction, in legislation for the regulation if not the control of corporation, and other forms of property, and in legislation in modification of existing jurif laws, whether wisely or unwisely remaining to be seen—are reasons why we have not deemed it politic or wise to fall in with the alleged aspirations of Senator Foraker to secure the Republican nomination for the Presidency. He cannot get the nomination, and if he should get it he would be defended at the polls, because the people want a radical and not a Conservative in the public House. It reduces itself, then, to the point of Supreme For- THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY JUNE 27. 1907. aker to secure so much prestige in the voting in the National Republican Convention as to enable him to dictate terms to the contestant who shall seem able to win and who will be disposed to make terms with him, leaving him still in control of his seat in the Senate or providing him a place in the Cabinet of the new Administration. Along this line Senator Foraker said, in his address at Wilberforce University, a part of which we reproduce in another column of The Age to-day: If for what I have done in this behalf I am to be eliminated from public life, as has been preclaimed, then let it be known that shall at least carry with me into the field of feeling and knowing that I have been put baked for an action that I shall never regret but always esteem as creditable to my heart as a man and to my sense of justice and duty as a public official. This is a splendid attitude for a public man to take. When he he has done his duty according to his lights he should be willing to abide the result, and if he has been in the right in a given cause which led to his undoing he can accept the inevitable with the satisfaction of knowing that history, posterity, will do him justice. We are grateful and appreciative of the splendid services which Senator Foraker has rendered the Afro-American people in the immediate present and the remote past, for even as he has stood like a rock for what he considered fair and just in the matter of the Brownisville order, so in other days, following the upheavals attendant upon the reconstruction policy, he stood equally firm for what he considered fair and just, gaining withal the title of "Fire-alarm Foraker"; and if other Representatives in the Congress and the responsible editors of the Republican press had stood as firmly for the right in those dark days as he did the history of the times would have had a different twist than it has. We would be glad to have him continue in the Senate or to receive any higher distinction in the public service which he may desire; but as to his aspirations to be President, if he has any, we have to recognize that the cards are stacked against him. What Is a Democrat? The New York World has propounded for the gaiety of mankind the question, "What is a Democrat?" It has received a great many replies, but none of them appears to answer it. And no wonder. The Democratic party has wandered as far away from the governmental policies of Thomas Jefferson, which it is supposed to represent, as the Republican party has from those of Alexander Hamilton, which it is supposed to represent. If we draw it a bit finer, the Democratic party has got as far away from the doctrines of Samuel J. Tilden as the Republican party has from those of Abraham Lincoln. As a matter of literal construction a party stands for those principles of governmental policy last laid down by its National convention. Judged by this standard neither of the two parties represents to-day fully the principles laid down by its National convention, as the policies made regnant by President Roosevelt are practically those endorsed by the last Democratic Convention and the policies now advocated by Mr. Bryan, the responsible It of the Democratic party, are nowhere mentioned in the last platform of the National Democratic party. Ask any Republican "What is a Republican?" and he will be as confounded as a dreamer at the base of the Tower of Babel; a similar question has confounded those who imagined that they were Democrats. If any man in the country should be able to define what a Democrat is, William Jennings Bryan should be the man, as to all intents he is the Democratic party. In a recent issue of The World he undertook the job. He says: To recapitulate, a Democrat, according to a party definition, is a man who connects himself with the Democratic party and acts politically with those who bear the same party name. In a broader sense, he is a Democrat who believes in the rule of the people and who desire to make the Government the instrument in the will of the people. In a broader sense, he trusts the people and favors such reforms as will give to the people an increasing power. And a real Democrat will not only favor Democratic methods in government and insist upon the right of the majority to rule, but will favor the administration of the Government in the interest of the whole people according to the Jeffersonian maxim, "Equal rights to all and special privilege to none." As to this definition The World says: In respect to the external aspects of the Government, a lieutenant who considers himself a member of the Democratic organization, who works with the Democratic organization and who expects to vote, the Democratic ticket." In a broader and more philosophical sense a Democrat is one who believes in the rule of the people and who desires to make the Government the instrument In, the hands of the people to carry out their will. Under this definition as to principle, wherein is Mr. Roosevelt less of a Democrat than Mr. Bryan? Wherein is Secretary Taft less of a Democrat than Senator Daniel? Wherein is Gov. Hughes less of a Democrat than Mayor McCailan or Mr. Heart? Wherein is almost any Republican less of a Democrat than almost any Democrat. Mr. Bryan's dissertation on the distinction between the Hamiltonian and Jeffersonian theories of government must be dismissed as not germane to the issue. There is no party at the present time which processes to distrust the people and none which can be said to identify itself on a peculiar way with the people. The people are the parties and the parties are the people. As for the popular election of United States Senators which Mr. Bryan presents as an important Democratic doctrine, it involves clearly a question of experience rather than of fundamental principle. As for the initiative and referendum, we observe that Mr. Bryan does not claim that it has yet attained full status, as a Democratic measure. There is not a Misha but a word, not a nippleable to Government ownership of railroads. Mr. Bryan does not mention it as an article of Democratic faith. The Word intended to throw open its columns to Mr. Bryan's letter, but we are bound to confess that we do not find his answer either clear, complete or concursive. No stranger to American politics could determine from it the essential differences between a Democrat and a Republican in the year 1907, and an answer that does not answer that is not an answer to The World's question. After reading Mr. Bryan's letter with the utmost care and presenting assurances of distinguished consideration to its sentient author, The World feels bound to renew its inquiry, "What is a Democrat?" Now, when the high priests of Democracy stutter, as did Balaam when the angel of the Lord held him up on the road, in the effort to give a reason for the faith that is in them, what is to be expected of ordinary heathen? A fair but not conclusive definition of a Democrat would be "A man who does not know whether he is coming or going in politics." And, on general principles, the less the American people have of the Democratic party the better. History shows that much, and history is a good guide for the footsteps of the patriot who wishes best for his country. Henry Watterson. In the journalism of the Republic Henry Watterson has made for himself a place with Prettiss, Greeley, Raymond, Bennett, Dana, Samuel Bowles, David Dindley Warmer, George William Curtis, Medill, Murat Halstead, Crosby Noyes; in the politics of the Republic he has been a factor for good in the Democratic party which has not heeded him as it should and has come to grief in consequence; in the citizenship of Kentucky he has illustrated the intellectual virility and nobility of character which give distinction to a whole people. He has been a man we have adored for thirty years, and in many of whose political opinions, especially on tariff policy, we have been in happy accord. In many of his views on the race question we have not been in sympathy, especially in his acceptance of legislation civil in character to work out separation of races on social grounds. Civil rights and social privileges are not the same. In another column of The Age to-day we reproduce the salient features of an address by Mr. Watterson on "Settlement of the Race Conflict" delivered as the commencement of Eckstein Norton University. It is a strong deliverance by a strong man, who as editor of The Louisville Courrier-Journal, has written his name broad on the pages of American history. If the attitude of mind expressed by Mr. Watterson were that of all of the thoughtful colored and white people of the country, the race question would be approached in a spirit of candor and wisdom and Christian forebearance, and the solution of the problem would proceed along lines of high justice and fairness, with the fear of the Lord as a rainbow of promise and the rigors of just laws enforced against all offenders alike as the rod of correction to keep them in the middle of the road. The farmers of the New England, Middle, and Western States are constantly claiming for laborers. In the New England States there is a large acreage of abandoned farm lands which could be taken over and cultivated to advantage. It is remarkable how few of the Afro-Americans who come from the South into these states turn their attention to the farms, where good wages and healthy living are to be had for the asking. For instance, the State Agricultural Department of New York will send an agent to Europe to inform intending settlers in the United States of the advantages of New York, which is one of the greatest agricultural States in the Union. In this State, New Jersey and Pennsylvania there is a very large number of Afro-American farmers who are prosperous and happy in their surroundings, and prosperous in proportion to the intelligence and labor they put into their farm operations. There should be more of this sort of citizens. Instead of making a baseline for the large cities our men from the South should look more and more to the farm opportunities of the Northern and Western States. Newspaper all over the country have been making something of a statement that Speaker Cannon of Illinois, when he was recently in North Carolina, is said to have approved of the way in which the white South has handled the black South, and a lot of other stuff which Republicans may think, but have not the nerve to utter with their mouths. We have been trying to get at the truth of what Mr. Cannon did say, but have not been able to do it. It is a general proposition that the average Republican statesman does not care a rap for the rights under the Constitution of the Afro-American people and are afraid to approach the subject in the Congress or out of it; and it is an equally safe proposition that the average Afro-American believes that True Age is all wrong in this view of the matter and that the average Republican statesman apends most of his time waking and sleeping, thinking of the rights, and the interests of the Afro-American people. Perhaps it may be true, as Alexander Pope hath said, that "ignorance is bliss where 'tis folly to be wise." The trade-union theory that "If I do not want to work you shall not," has invaded the Federal service. Some time ago it appeared in the bureau of engraving and printing in the Treasury Department, then it appeared in the postal service, and now it shows up in the office of the superviving architect of the Treasury, where white architects object to the employment of black and yellow crafts. This spirit was shown when Mr. Wood was appointed, and lost work there was an encounter when another, Mr. Woodson, was appointed, which led to a small plot in the Treasury Department. We have now the color-line issue in the Federal service, as we have always had it in the army, and navy, and we should be able to feel that equal, and exact justice will prevail, but we are not. The political car has run over the Afro-American people and left nothing of their standing in parties but a mass of managed expectations. A' decade ago the Afro-American was a factor in politics which had to be rechoned with, especially in the National Republican conventions; how many will be in the next convention it is not easy to guess, but when they get there it will be very easy to count them. The political fortunes of the Afro-American people have reached their lowest mark. There, should be improvement from now on. Will there be? Thereby will hangs a long tale. Dr. William Demos Crum was in New York last week and then went to Boston for a few days. Dr. Crum is collector of customs at Charleston. As a practicing physician he has made fame and fortune, and few men in Charleston have a more picturequeque and beautiful home and home life than he. He has always taken an interest in politics, and as in the past will, in all probability, be a delegate to the next National Republican convention. Whenever the name of Booker Washington is uttered in any wise among a certain sort of "Negro" or "colored" person higher education, from their viewpoint, shrinks, as "freedom did when Koolmink fell." It is all adjutatively hilarious. A lot of people have the higher education and do not know what to do with it. If their hands had been educated instead of their heads they would be good and useful citizens, and would not talk no much nonense with their mouths. Imuel Webster once said that "there is always room on top," but only the select few ever reach it; while multitrades perish striving after it. It is possible that William Jennings Bryan will be angling for the Presidency when the present generation has passed from labor to reward. Insurrection in Portugal, mob riots in France, terrorism in Russia, starvation in China and India—"all quiet on the Potomac." That education is best which best fits a man to earn his hash in the easiest way and to be the best sort of citizen. Get the mountain out of your own eye before yawping about the beam in your neighbor's. The meeting of the Business League in Topeka in August—have you got it in mind?

The truth of the matter is that President Roosevelt disregarded the soldiers' evidence when they denied their guilt and punished the whole battalion with one stroke of the pen without having knowledge that there was a single criminal in the three communities. Although expropriation of evidence in defense of his course, after months of investigation the Senate committee has not been able to identify a single Negro soldier as participating in the shooting or to discover one soldier who could point to an actual offender. The evidence of spiracy of silence, presumably it holds good because the soldiers have not convicted themselves or been convicted by others. But at least, as Senator Foraker says, the soldiers have not charged to state the side of the case whether or not the Senate investigation has any other result.

THE JAPANESE BEST TRIAT Only 4,008 Japanese in the United States—occupied by Laborers. From The North American Review. President Roosevelt, in his message to the past session of Congress, recommended that an act be passed specifically to one who come to this country intending to become American citizens. This recommendation, has around little interest among the American; the news of the current comment; the Western politicians have dismissed it as absurd and impossible. While their Eastern colleagues have seemed unwilling to make it a topic of discussion, the question of the President's failed to draw the attention it deserved, because it came at a moment when the nation's interest was focused upon an unfortunate underdog. The underdog, the San Francisco school "incident." To the Japanese, however, the question of naturalization is more vital and of greater significance than the underdog, the San Francisco. If the Mikado's subjects should present even the segregation of a handful of their children into special schools in but one locality of America. The underdog, the San Francisco, by the law which indiscriminately classifies them "undesirable," regardless of their individual character, achievements or social standing, their summarily acquitted status. Some American citizens not only in one city, but throughout the entire Union? The Japanese in America object to such a law the more strongly, because it affects not only their honor as a race, but their material interests. Many a Japanese business in this country; not a few have become prosperous farmers cultivating large tracts of land. And yet, except in a State or two, no Japanese can lawfully own landed property, because in their property rights, among the Japanese in America, furthermore, are men who, while at home, played important parts in the political movement, and who are keenly alive to all vital political issues of the faculty of several American colleges; among them, such scientists as Dr. Kakamine, whose chemical discoveries are highly appreciated by all specialists; among them, writers and authors whose works are native land, but are frequently seen printed in American publications. It is such Japanese as these who are most anxious to see the naturalization laws of this country so amended as to qualify them to work in American citizenship, share the full duties of American citizenship. Arguments advanced against the naturalization of Japanese are mostly superficial, being founded neither upon laws now in force, nor upon the close investigation into the real status of the Japanese population in America. In the examination of such arguments, we may overlook the somewhat dark antagonists of the Japanese as Mr. Tweltwitz, president of the Japanese and Korean Exclusion League, and I regret to say, Representative Kahn, of California, what we are asking among those rational-minded Americans who are able to look at this question more broadly and judiciously. It is asserted that the United States wants to develop its natural resources, is not ready to admit them to citizenship, and accord them the privilege of voting. But are Japanese labors willing to become American citizens in order to hold on to the side of the water? Are they not merely birds of passage, anxious to return to their birthplace as soon as they have saved what they consider a competence—a modest sum of money? It is further contended that, should the United States open to the Mikado's subjects the door to citizenship, the country, and especially its westward border of ignorant citizens. Are the existing naturalization laws impotent to bar out aliens who are morally and intellectually backward? Do not the laws reserve to authorities an authority in issuing naturalization immigrations? Let us consider these questions in detail. TO INSTIL RESPECT FOR LABOR. What is Predicted of Administration of the Jeanne Fund. From The Brooklyn Eagle The accession of Secretary Taft to the trustees of the Anna T. Jeanee fond for Negro education will strengthen and already admirable body and will attract public interest to a work which promises to be only second to the industrial work for that, may done at Hampton and Tuskegee. Besides the Secretary of War, the board includes Presidents Frissell, of Hampton, and Washington, of Tuskegee; George Foster Peabody, of Brooklyn; Robert R. Morton, of Hampton, V. Bishop, Abraham Grant, of Kansas; James H. Dillard, of New Orleans; Talcott Williams, of Philadelphia; Robert L. Smith, of Tennessee; Bolton Gilleath, of Alabama; George McAeny, of New York; James C. Napier, of Tennessee; James C. Mitchell, of Virginia; and Samuel C. Mitchell, of Virginia. The colored men on that board include Dr. Washington, Bishop of Grant and Messrs. Morton, Napier and Smith. The board's headquarters will be at Montgomery, Ala. and active work is expected to begin there soon. The income of the securities given by Miss Jeanee reaches $10,000 a year, but is expected to be considerably increased by judicious reinvestment. A great deal of Northern money has been spent in the higher and professional education of Negroes, and there is little doubt that that amount of that money has been used to trace that those philosophers were trying to help had not reached the point of readiness for the sort of help offered, and there is little doubt that the early ambition for professional education of some Negroes intensified the desire of manual labor which was the natural result of freeing a race to whom labor had always been associated with slavery. None of those who which is to be used for elementary schools for Negroes, particularly in the rural districts which are too poor to supply such schools. The trend of Negro education has thanked the University for its assistance to Hampton and Taukeegee, and it may fairly be expected that the ambitions of those who receive primary teaching through this fund will be turned toward some form of skilled trade, manual labor, whom there will far too many, are invariably ignorant and the idle. The education that fits A Negro boy or girl to earn good wages takes her or her out of the class from, whose criminal record this fund may be counted upon to extend the spirit of Hampton and Taukeegee to regions which those institutions and their followers would not otherwise be able to teach to until that good of the Negro, as it has been to that of every race which has ever risen to civilization.

Clotlin gt Pluckland Over the Appointment—amount of an Afro-American Special Correspondence of The Age WASHINGTON, June 26—Much excitement has been around here over the effect of the Treasury. That is "arumation" has been created or actually exists there it cannot be doubted or ignored, but to magnify the incident or the at-tempt to fix-up it, it is unreasonable not as a trick of conventional journalism. There is in fact real and malignant race prejudices rife in this particular bureau and until disciplined it is unlikely to cause any amount of trouble. There are four daily papers published in this city, one of which familiarizes the Associated Press news, and each had a different account of the incident, but the news was shared by that Woodson, the recently appointed draughtman, provoked the trouble, while admitting the notorious fact that the white draughtmen who hall from the South have exhibited strong prejudice against the investigation which is being made by the Treasury Department. It is difficult to obtain from the principals in the affair a direct statement of the immediate course of what occurred or indeed of what actually occurred. The difficulty occurred between a white man from Marra- and a colored man who had been in the bureau but two or three days. Blows were struck and the colored man received blasts from the rear and the front. Woodson was not knocked down nor was he after the affray absent from duty. Cook had previously had some trouble and both he and Woodson have made their statements to the proper officers, the Messrs. Cook and Woodson are the first colored men to be employed in the bureau of the Architect of the Treasury, and their enquiries thereon were made. The bureau has an unusual number of men from the South employed, who it would suggest are determined to run the bureau according to Southern methods. The bureau estimates that an effort is being made to secure a larger number of Southern white men to compete for positions in this department, so as to dispense with the necessity of a large number of who successfully pass the examination. Secretary Cotterell ignored the pro- ses of the Southern white men when Cooke was appointed, and the opinion is generally entertained here that he will not countenance the attempt to run the bureau along race lines. INDUSTRIALISM IN BROOKLYN. Bretting Held Under Ampuses of Impairment (Chowitton The committee for improving the industrial condition of Negroes in New York held one of a series of meetings in the Fleet Street Memorial of E. Zion Hospital, where there was a fair-sided audience and the addresses delivered by the Rev. Samuel H. Rishon, Samuel R. Scottron, Presiding Elder W. H. H. Butler, D.D. and M. Jacobs were interesting and helpful. Attention was called by Mr. Scottron to schools and classes in New York where trades may be learned and by all of the speakers the necessity was shown for the training of the students in the downtown section of Brooklyn. Mr. Scottron, who prepaided, declared that industrial education is necessary to keep the Negroes from anbilation, to prevent the spread of the people of New York represented most of the industries than they do-to-day, and he described how many years ago Thomas Downing owned and controlled the largest oyster saloon in New York City, and the restaurants on Broadway, how they were mithmils, silvermiths, janitrons and cannons owned, "but," said he, "their sons failed to follow them. The children were educated as doctors, lawyers, and gave up all the industrial pursuits." Dr. Bishop began by speaking of the wonderful weather in this very wonderful秋, and save a civil illustration of the colorful people and said that the colored people are not incurably handicapped, but that they will eventually overcome all obstacles. The most complaining North is the colored labor is not safe. They say it is true that the colored will work three days and will rest three days in the week. The people have been misinformed and unduly prejudiced toward the establishment of the proposed school. Said he: "The公mittee has no disposition to establish the school where it will be convened for the purpose of its facilities. Our girl want to be taught lucrative trades; our boys want to be thoroughly developed. We cannot afford to lose this advantage. We should give our hearty support to the Dr. Jacobs declared the Negroes in the South do work and have industrial skills. He said he had a Southern born Negro and as one who had always lived there he could speak what he knows, then may a few of his peers learn them. Negroes of the South are thrifty and industrious. Ambassador Akoki Snya No One Power Can Dominate Pacific. The ambassador declared that it was a failed attempt any country overcome the Pact. "It is too big," he declared; "And there are too many countries bordering on it. There is Canada, to begin with, and the United States, to follow. American republics to the southward, Russia, Japan, England, and the other European countries having interests in the Orient, China, and Korea, and still further, all of which must be conserved. And it is idle to suppose that Japan can ever hope to control such a vast commerce as China has. We know that China has a population of 400,000,000. Her commerce alone promises to provide plenty of business for every one. And while in Japan labor is cheap, yet the prices of goods are cheaper than Japan can; so that there will always be competition."

Rurg, not protecting the colored, son, who was hung by sued in Chattanooga, after a long interim Searching Analysis of the Relation of the Races at Eckstein Commencement. LOUISVILLE. June 14.—The people of the United States (and when I say the people of the United States I mean all the people, black and white, Northern and Southern) have no greater issue to meet, no larger problem to solve, than that which goes by the name of the race question. The Institution of African Relief is gone—let us all thank God for the blessings we have with us. He is with us in ever-increasing numbers. He is here to stay. My eye falls on quite a few of him at the present moment, and I am going to the neighbor and friend, speaking the truth as I am able to see it. The two sections of the American Union were in the beginning jointly responsible for African slavery. Originally slavery existed both North and South. The North had slave labor in ships. When the North found slave labor unprofitable it sold its slaves to the South, which mistakenly thought it profitable. I have never heard that the North failed to put the money it got for its slaves in holding Virginia that when she ceded an empire to the Federal Government, she stipulated that human slavery should, never step foot thereon. At last the Institution of African Slavery precipitated the South into a sinuous war, and, after this war, was made slave, that in India he had been more profitable in the South than in the North. During a century of agitation and contention among the whites about the blacks, starring with the suppression of the Proclamation of Emancipation, it was the black people, not the white people, who behaved themselves like Christian men and women, and sabbatical women, whom the world should come to an end this blessed fastant, many a white man might be found holding up a black man to plead his case before the court, and every proud of this, it should constitute your point of departure in that soul-journey from grace to grace toward perfection which is the goal of those that accept for their rule of life the religion of Christ and Him crucified. Many years ago, within the circle of a bay window overlooking one of the great avenues of Washington city, I was diving, and been discussing the race question, when, as if to punctuate our discourse, two men across the way—a black man and a white man—entered upon an altercation which brought to light my inability to characteristically, absent. A ring was formed, and, in true Marquis of Queenberry style, the race war upon a small but tangible scale was then and there fought out. Taking one of the smaller groups one among our immediate group which apparently confident of the reply, which are we for, the Nigger or the Irishman? It was an eminence stated in the Soil. I was still, till before I decide that I should like to know which has the right of it." My own attitude toward the racial question has always grounded itself in the same principle: that nothing for myself, or my children, can be given to you and your children. I passed many of my boyhood days upon a plantation in Tennessee—in point of fact, upon two plantations in Georgia, complete, but also under its better aspects and conditions. From the earliest dawnings of intelligence, which I can remember, the system seemed to me monstrous. If slavery is not wrong, said William S. Johnson, it is wrong. I thought, and so I think. Thousands of men fought and fell on the Confederate side in the War of Sections, who believed the same thing; as did Washington who forced and the union of Virginia who made the first American Revolution. When the second American Revolution came to pass liberating, as by a single stroke of the word nearly four million slaves from bondage, my sentiment of freedom was in excuse of my own experience of the event. I accepted the situation: The three last Amendments to the Constitution I declared to be the actual and final Treaty of Peace between New York and the United States, my own opinion—based on the feeling not knowledge of judgment—that given perfected citizenship the newly liberated slave would be able to work out his own destiny. During the ten years of Reconstruction that ensued, devoted laborers were the only habilitation the black man of the South as essential to the pacification of the white men of the North and South. There are black men still living in Kentucky who can not fail to recall the contest we had with the white people in the South as the Kukuxk Klan long after the disbandment of that dread organization in the States south of us, the struggle for the admission of Negro testimony to the courts of law—in point of fact, the scourge of slavery—with black laws from the statute books of the Commonwealth—narrowing, itself down even to the right of the Negro to ride upon the street cars. Happily, this State and this city, escaped the many black slaves that had come have followed if the extremism of those dark days had prevailed. Because it did not, we have had no race war or serious racial conflict, here in Kentucky. Reasonable white people and reasonable black people find it easy to get along much as if there existed no color line. Each is inspired by a sense of duty to the other which under the benign influence of religion and humanity may yet be lesson and solid domestic relations of confidence and affection, the ownership clause succeeded by a manhood clause, at once self-respecting and reciprocally respected But, friends and neighbors, there are bad white men, and there are bad black men, there are foolish white men, and are are we? But are we going to do with them and about them? The out-plane would be a heaven, laded, all of us were wise and good. E-E-E is all of us were wise and good, why all of us would be ten feet tall and beautiful and educated and rich—above all, mark you?—rich. None of us would have to work; just only to roll back in the shade of summer and eat water. And, and to snuggle by the roaring shops of winter and tell fair tales, change in to wait upon us. That is the most Jubile. I am afraid it is in ways of yet. Meanwhile, both plent. What them is best for us, black and white alike? For be sure the interest of one race is the interest of the other, that neither can prosper if either were. I tell tell you, after forty years of experience and observation and reflection, that think we began wrong. We put the last before the first, and black people, with some centuries of abject slavery and many ages of barbaric night behind them were not equal to using the freedom that came to them so suddenly, and especially the ballot, with prudence or intelligence, how could they be allowed to be free? On the contrary, I sometimes wonder at their self-restraint. As during the Sectional war, they were faithful servants, remaining at home and tilling the fields and taking care of the women and children, so since the war, they have made many strides to be good citizens. I glory in every step of progress they have made—and they have made many strides—from that day to this. Temperamentally ever for the under-dog a crank about personal liberty, a heart a crank about anything and wherever I see him honestly struggling to raise his children to a condition better than his own. Hence, it is a pleasure for me to be here to night, to witness what before me and around me, and to follow me and my friends to yourself and the noble institution established by Eckstein Norton. The race question is a mystery. For the matter of that life is a mystery. Whence we came, whither we are going, know not, the Negro—we would undermine and in New York would say Britton, or Egyptian, as a racial designation, and not as a nickname—the Negro is thought to be especially imitative, particularly the ultra Smart Set of the Colored Four Hundred. It infilates the little it knows about the English nobility, and, in the interior, whatever it can find out about the Smart Set of the seaboard. It is an unfortunate characteristic of imitation to take good of whatever attracts its admiration or its easy. "Jesus like white folks" is sometimes heard in colored circles of fashion—is among the Colored Four Hundred. Set that the Colored Four Hundred. Now for that part, I scarcely think much more of the Colored Four Hundred than I think of the Caucasian Four Hundred, and who, if they can't go to Heaven in their automobiles, don't want to go at all. Every shoemaker to his last, the saying hits it, and that say I, each mother's son of us to his vocation, whatever it be. Men in their places are the men who "Honor and fame from no condition rise: Act well your part—" The lines may be something musty, but they are even truer now than when Pope wrote them two hundred years ago. The words unfortunate, untested, uncontested and immovable. "You cannot may a silk purse out of a sow's ear," the familiar aphorism tells us. No more can you make a musician, or a poet, or a lawyer, or a doctor, or minister, or Heaven-sent, and manmade for blacksmithing, for draydriving, and plowing. All of us are the creatures of evolution and education. The white races seem to have got along faster in the past than the blacks. Why. I cannot tell you. It is a simple fact, obvious to all of us, that, just as Europe and America are further advanced in arts and arms than Africa, are they further advanced in science than the Africans in the developments of modern culture. As this ought not to be the subject of vainglorious exaltation among the whites it should not be considered as a subject of pride or a reproach by the blocks. In case it should become so the future would be dark indeed for both races. Each needs to grow in grace and will thus grow in grace here in the South first of all and most of all, and within lines plainly fixed by God, and Nature, leading to that ultimate peace that passeth understandings. Why, and the lamb shall be down in harmony. We may not escape our manifest destiny. Neither of us can get rid of the other. Schemes to that end however have been tried. The most successful is this so, let us take account of what has been done these forty years of freedom. I stand here to nightly to declare that the hope we possessed any such progress from darkness to light as that which we see is those districts of the South where the Negro has had a decent opportunity for self-development. Look at the South where the Negro at a standstill—look at South Africa, its riches piled on riches, the Negro still a savage and less considered than the animals—yet it is England that pluces herself on what was done for her. Let the Negro go to any New England community and try to get employment Barred on every hand plants of some regions North and West which never know slavery and were a unit for the Union where the Negro is refused employment because of his lack of what the President described the other day as "an undesirable citizen." Turn Southward; plenty both of work and slaves; plenty of willing hands. But people, slothful people, get on nowhere; but nowhere on the habitable globe has the liberated slave fured so well nowhere he be so slothful. But the Southern States of North America. Why? Because we know one another and because, no matter what anybody says to the contrary, there is a common bond of sympathy between us. Never can the white man of the south wear a hat when he is told during a war need for his freedom and what he might have done. Never should the black man of the South forget that he is the weaker in the race toward perfection and for a long time must look to the white man for help of many kinds. It is through these reciprocal grapples that we will reach an institutional system of living and doing entirely satisfactory to both. Nothing is to be expected from the rushing hot-house process, or from any artificial arrangement; everything is to be expected from the self—unveiled by misdirected political considerations, uninfluenced by outsiders teaching false philosophy—simple justice and kindness presiding over the ordinary laws of common honesty, and common The Negro in Africa has scarcely burst the chrysalis of the primitive state of man. In America he is yet in a state of racial childhood, how the quicker he will learn, the sooner he will reach his racial manhood. In less than half a century he has done wonders. Before the century we have just begun a half century of hard work, till he has yet and upon an extensive scale to learn habits of method and order; habits of tenacity and acquisition; habits of sustained industry and morbidity, without which no race—white, red, brown, or black—any individual man—can get on and succeed. He is a bad white man who will not help his neighbor black man whee that neighbor black man shows that black man is bad black man who cherishes hatred in his heart against the white man because he is a white man. He is a foolish black man who whispers that black man is a white man which could provy a curse rather than a blasphemy against him, that the white man THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1907 hates him. Social questions the world over create, their own laws and settle them. They can be forced. It is idle anywhere or anywhere at test, or quarrel with them. No man should want to go where he is not wanted; true, self-respecting men their own way host their own row, and giving praise to God that their happiness is within themselves and beyond the world; men, he be white or black, king or vassel. Go then hence, tonight, uplifted, each to his appointed tank—no bitterness in any heart—the love of God Supreme, but not the measured sacrifice for man—even as revealed to the good Arabian sleeper—in that exquisite blending of Religion and Philosophy. "INSTITATIVE AND REFERENDUM." Mr. Bryan Gives His Understanding of the Thing. : In an article on "What is a Democrat?" in The New York World of June 20 Mr. W. J. Bryan said: There is a question, however, upon which there is at present a division of opinion among Democrats, namely, the liberties and the system is sometimes called direct legislation. These terms are used to describe the system which gives to the people a larger control over their own affairs by positioning them to vote directly on proposition form will not abolish representatives, but it will enable the voters to coerce the representatives into obedience to the popular will. As the subject is better understood is hattonomy with democracy will become more difficult and I have no doubt that the time will come when the people will understand the subject of direct legislation as well as they do the popular election of Senators as difficult for a Democrat to oppose the former as it now is to oppose the latter. While the application of the doctrine of direct legislation was naturally made to the city first and to the State afterward, it was also made to the National Government as to the governmentals covering smaller areas. The question is, Shall the people rule? And that question is as vital in the governmental question as the government of a State, a county of a city. Of course in the nation the equal position of the States must be respected, and it is to the help of the people States being everywhere by people for who favor the application of the initiative and referendum to national questions favor it with the understanding that people as a majority of the people as well as a majority of all the people must concur. One who believes in the right of the people to rule and in the capacity of the people for self-government naturally accrues the crime of local self-government—that is, that the people can govern been where they best understand conditions. The democrat believes that the individual must accept where his action would injuriously affect others; that each community should attend to its own matters; that the State should have control of State affairs, and that local government should be supreme in its sphere. If a man is really democratic in sentiment, that is, if he really believes in the rule of the people this belief dominates him in the life of the people all questions that come before the people. He looks at questions from the standpoint of the whole people and not from the standpoint of the few. His conception of the nature of the people is built on the bottom, not from the top. While the aristocrat pictures prosperity as dripping down to the masses from the prosperity the democrat cannot imagine with the producers of wealth. NEWS NOTE AND COMMENT Ribbop L. J.

In giving it careful and impartial resume of what the larger Afro-American shows accomplished during the theatrical season of 1908-07, recently brought to a close, not enough can be said in praise of the manner in which all of them closed in a blaze of glory. It is not known by the general public the uphill fight two shows had in particular at the opening of the season to retain their laurels and keep their respective companies intact. Yet, thanks to the back-bone of the stars, the motto "There is no such thing as fail" was the shibboleth, and by an exhibition of energy and "stictitiveness" these two companies in question triumphed in the end. When the season opened last fall it was thought that the Williams and Walker company, after undergoing a severe, ordeal the previous season, had clear gelling, and that the affairs of the great organization would go along with the smoothness and elast that was manifest in the days of "Bons of Ham" and "Dahomey" but that is the great surprise of the theatre. Melville H. Raymond, manager and part owner of "Abysinia," became a bankrupt and filed proceedings in the courts to that effect. This action on the part of the manager brought the "Abysinia" company into litigation, and was the cause of a receiver being appointed to take charge of the affairs of the show, the receiver being mamed on application of Messrs. Williams and Walker. This form of legal procedure brought about the cancellation of the show and been committed at the instance of Melville H. Raymond, and the two popular comedians secured new booking through Stair and Haylin. Since the appointment of a receiver the business of the company prospered, and in the main the box receipts were very large so much so in fact, that when the show closed for the season, the receiver reported a balance of several thousand dollars on the profit side of the ledger. According to those who have been conversed with theatrical may years Williams and Walker did something never before accomplished by another theatrical company; go into the hands of a receiver and come out in the end with a large sum to its credit. Having become hardened to she fight, the two stars then determined to secure booking in first class theatres—an end they have been trying to accomplish since their trip abroad. After many skirmishes they have succeeded in realizing one of their first season will find them playing in first class theatres under the management of the Schuberts in a new play entitled "In Bandana Land." Even greater praise should be given Cole and Johnson in their struggle for existence, as they did not have the confidence of the public that Williams and Cole were well-known song-writers started out with a new show, and, while they were widely known as vaudieville artists, what they could do in a musical comedy as stare was problematical. They were unfortunate at the beginning, being unable to find a place to work for Williams and Williams and Walker had. Opening in Washington and playing but a very short time out East, they were sent South through Texas and other Southern States, and most of their booking was one-night stands. Carrying the large and expensive company they did and it also being their home to play in the South, they lost money. Later in the season they were given better booking and business was much improved. However, taking into consideration the expense involved in keeping a large company of this kind on the road and the inferior theatres where they played, it was a difficult matter to make them. The theater would need a good finish can truly be applied to the Cole and Johnson Company, for the past two months had been a very successful era—artistically and financially. After a run in Philadelphia, the authors of "Under the Bamboo Tree" were the last of the Afro-American companies to close. Next season it is almost certain that they will get better booking. They will present the same piece—The Shoop-File Regiment with new interpolated musical numbers. With the opening of the season, Ernest Hogan, the actor-sonian, started out with the best booking of all the Afro-American shows, thanks to his managers, Hurtig and Seamon. While the first season that the well-known single entertainer starred in the musical piece "Rufus Hastur" was a big success financially, the past season was even greater. With but one exception, the best company we were niggle big. Negotiations during the month of April were under way between Hurtig and Seamon and several Englishmen, engaged in the theatrical business in London, with a view to playing the Hogan company in London. Hogan, who had been ordered that the firm called the show in, although it was originally looked up to June 25. The question of a suitable theatre was the point at issue, and which was finally the cause of the deal being called off for the present, as the management refused to show or none other than those of the first clear all of which were either closed or enqueued. Rumor had it that owing to the large money this star has been getting in vaudeville this summer, he will forake musical comedy for the variety. Such a report is absolutely untrue and unfounded, however. Mr. Hogan will star in a new musical by the musician Mr. Blazanus, "which is now being written. As most new shows start, the Smart Set company, S. H. Dudley at the head, began a little stiff, and it was necessary to work out several new situations. But the "Black Politician" was finally made into a very interesting vehicle for fun and made, and closed the door to new situations. Mr. Dudley will have the same piece the coming season with new songs. On a tour from the Atlantic to the Pacific, Black Patti and her company of singers and dancers covered more territory than any other company, and it goes without saying that the show made money. This company is certainly a money-maker, and while it has the distinction of playing more one-night stands than any of the other Afro-American shows, it is so managed as to make it pay. The great singer will have a larger company next season. LEATER A. WALTON. Poughkeepsie Notes. On the 19th of June, Mrs. K. W. Glasse gave a birthday party in honor of Master Benjamin B.

THRK NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1907 CLOSING EXERCISES Florentine Wedding PHILADELPHIA. John B. Furton on the Pollutant parlor must also lie in the city* or its vicinity have applied to the Common Pleas Court, through their attorney, David J. Searth, former Director of Public Safety, for a charter, as they intend to organize a beneficial association. Furtons living in Jersey City, Hewlett and Atlantic City will be eligible to membership. The object of the may be the petition's nothing but a punishable increase in wages. The name of the association will be The Philadelphia Furtors' Association. The decision of the United States Supreme Court that government employees may charge in their expense accounts, timed to give to the Furton parlor, is made little less likely to with the petition's decision. According to their way of thinking the tip has evolved from a mere gratuity into a legal right. John R. Harding, an antique dealer of No. 510 Main street, Germantown, died on Friday. It was in this house that the Quakers of this city, in 1668, made the first protest against human slavery.

Through the commencement exercise of the Darby high school, a suburb of Philadelphia, were held informally Thursday afternoon, it was not because one of the three graduates was, as an adult, intentionally殆 to by N. B. Newcomand, superintendent of the school, who said: "The reason we had no elaborate exercises was because of the small number of graduate and the fact that we could not get a hall, that in which we formerly held commencement being occupied by held graduates, that if we were graduates we had a quiet commencement in the school. As to the statement that Agnes C. Hand and Norman N. McCumland objected to participating in public exercises with George F. Ray because the latter was an Afro-American is not true. An Afro-American was also held their one commencement where we had one commencement where one was valedictorian." Sneaking of the servant-girl problem "the thing is distracting at times," said an Afro-American housewife yesterday, who is on the lookout for a hired girl. "What I want, and badly, too, to do is trained her, to do my best homework; and I am willing to pay her good wages. I advertised and a good-looking girl answered. My hope arose. She said she must have three nights off each week, so she could attend the clinic. "Going to be a trained nurse?" I asked. Obviously my course. "I've nearly completed my course. When I go back afterward, I advertised again. Another good-looking girl called. I must have Thursday and Sunday afternoons off in addition to the regular Thursday night," she demanded. "Are you learning to be a trained nurse?" inquired. "The thing is so, too, I am taking two hours a week, and I take them up." Well, within a week she gave me up, and now I am looking for another servant." Large Delegation of Othorne Extend Welcome to Bishop—Other News of Interest: Harrison, June 24.

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 coloured 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.

WASHINGTON, June 24.—The forthcoming wedding of Miss Mary Shepherd, of this city, and Mr. John Downing, of Allegheny, Pa., has been announced. The ceremony will take place Saturday evening, June 20, at the home of Miss Shepherd, Kill Corporation, West Miss Shepherd is one of Washington's most popular belles and an efficient school teacher. Mr. Downing, one of Pittsburgh's progressive young men, has a large circle of friends in this city, and his conquest is the subject of general congratulation and satisfaction. Other announcements of cupids' triumphs are expected before the close of the month. Pricines are the social diversion at this season, and are of daily occurrence. The late but sudden hot weather has given them a large patronage. The Colored Young Women's Christian Association made its annual pilgrimage to Cedar Hill, the home of the late venerable Robert B. 28th instant, a large number of autumn-loving and rest-weeking friends of the association attended, while the association itself entertained many of the city's poor children, who took an indescribable delight in the outing. The one source of great disappointment on these occasions has been the lack of freedom of the premises. Many of those who have attended, both old and young, have deserved their share, when the great leader lived and wrought. Up to the present this privilege has not been vouchsafed them. The fact that full liberty in this respect is granted at Mount Vernon, the home of Washington, simply intensifies their disappointment. There is, however, the hope that the new pilgrimage may be more fortunate. The annual picnic of St. Luke's Episcopal Church occurred yesterday at Lake View Park, with the usual large attendance.

Millford, of this city, have been attending the remit of their class at Brown University. A very important but quietly conducted work in the direction of social uplift is the Colored Social Settlement of this city situated in the southwestern corner of the city. It has gained the attention and elicited the efforts of some of the best women of the city. It has been fortunate to entail among its recruits this year Mrs. Anna J. Cooper, who, with the cooperation of a number of public spiritless ladies, has been working on the evening circle. On the 20th instant the closing meeting of the season was held and was largely attended by a number of prominent ladies. Register Vernon has returned to the city after an extended visit to the West. He will further form a university where he witnessed a part of the commencement exercises.

Prof. Miller is being urged for the position of dean of the University and adjunct of Howard University. He has practically the unanimous support of the Howard alumni. The approaching conferences and conversations relating to the interests of Afro-Americans have occasioned considerable activity among the various organizations here. A large delegation will attend the tenth annual session of the Afro-American Council to be held in Baltimore on the 5th instant.

From The New York Evening Post. HONOLULU. May 14.—In the garden of the old Queen's palace is a keep-off-the-grass grass phrased to meet the deeds of this smelter lot of the nations. The legend is painted boldly and placarded: "More better you go round." This tells a story in itself. There is a Japanese quarter in Honolulu, and a Chinese quarter, and a big Portuguese settlement, and still another locally given over to the Porto Ricana. Significantly enough there is no Hawaiian quarter. It is only of time when there will be no Hawaiian. This is a dept wing thought to those who have come to know the gentle, lovable, generous, native character. In 1872 there were in the eight islands that form the group the Hawaiians. 49,844 natives and 1,487 part Hawaiians. By 1800 the natives had dwindled to 29,787, and the part Hawaiians had increased to 7,848. There has been a further decrease of natives since 1900. When Captain James Cook visited the Hawaiians, he met that they were supporting a population of more than 400,000. While the Hawaiians have been decreasing rapidly their places have been taken by a food of Asiatics. In 1872 the islands were inhabited by the Hawaiians and in 1900, 25,762. The Japanese, however, have outstripped all others. There is no record of their presence in, in the islands prior to 1884, when 18,000 of them were born and in their more than 12,300, and six years after this, in 1898, there were more than 22,000 of them. The census of 1900 shows 61,115 throughout the different races and nationalities living in apparent peace, concord, and harmony. It is no uncommon thing to find eight or two nationalities and five or six different nationalities居住 in a schoolroom of forty children. The native-born population of the territory is made up of Hawaiians, part Hawaiians, Caucasians, Portuguese, Negroes, Greeks, and other ethnic groups. The foreign-born people in the islands distributed according to country of birth are from the Atlantic Islands, Austria, Canada, China, England, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Norway, Denmark, Pacific Islands, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, and other countries. There are parts of Honolulu where a stranger, strolling down the street, might readily fancy himself in Nagamaki, or any one of the frequented Japanese ports. There are Japanese shops, hotels, the area is nice and clean, and what not. The people meet at the Japanese wearing their native garb. Men go about in bare hair and flapping kimonos intent on their business. Solemnly little children play at kites or squint bravely on the sidewalk among their Japan-made tops. Housewives go patterning about on their high wooden Furniture. For them, the Japanese occasionally a strain of unmelodious Japanese music, and the "thin" piping singsong of the little geisha girls. One has always heard of the Japanese as a smiling people and much given to a formal politeness with strangers. This is not true of the Japanese, none of the smiling sort in any of the islands of the group. Driving or riding along the country roads or over the plantations we have made it a practice to stop and ask for directions in Japanese. The most we have got in reply has been a stiff military salute. Customarily no heed was paid to the greeting, the little men of Nippon looking out loudly and incarcerably through slit eyes. Twice I remember pleasant exceptions. Once on the Island of Kauai I came upon a score of Japanese urchins looking like so many little dolls with shaven heads bowed in solemn unison like so many little mandarins, flashing one beautiful grin as their heads rose to gaze at the curious stranger. Again in a tiny little shop in Honolulu where I went to buy some Japanese show and stockings. I succeeded in buying them and using of what native words and pidgin English I had at command that I had a Japanese wife. Once the notion was grasped the atmosphere cleared amazingly. The three little Japanese women in the shop were in a state of advice in making selections. The shopkeeper reduced his prices by more than one-half. An old man smoking one of the little Japanese pipes holding but a pinch of tobacco, and needing to be re-used each whiff, pollylly got out a fresh pipes and by gestures invited me to join him. In striking contrast with this surly demeanor and lack of civility of the average Japanese met about the islands in the friendliness of the native. Every day they visit the visiting Congressmen. Everywhere one came upon them they shipped off their hats with flashing smiles and bright eager over calling "alaho" to the visitors. At every stopping place, even if the pause was brief, they were greeted with the relief and garlands of flowers to hang about the necks of their guests. They are a simple people, loving flowers and music and poetry. Life has been too easy for them. The perfect likeness of the native is the necessity of earning a livelihood one of the negligible things of life. The natives are not fitted to compete as laborers with Japanese and Chinese, or even with the Portuguese. They will not work in the fields of agriculture or hard work. With magnificent physiques and splendid muscled bodies they lack endurance. One finds them employed now as sailors on the inter-island boats, as stewardess about the docks, and as more government work where they are given preference over foreign residents. Always great fishermen, they have permitted the Japanese to take all of the business away from them. At night one sees outside of Honolulu harbor, innumerable little night-riding lights mark the entrance to the harbor, helping hustily all through the night. The Japanese took this trade, away from the Kanaka because they stuck to the work. When the native sold a load of fish he would give a feast to his friends on the proceeds and koa until he had spent all the money. Until the next month, until he felt the call for another supply of funds. Meanwhile the stalks in the fish market were here of supplies. men, Ohioans, or Kansasans. Plenty one of the men with us up here, which at that, will you? There be the way the Japanese are driving the native population of the island, and the Japanese are driving the native population of the island. They will carry a passport while Hite to Langhanshee for one dollar while the American or the Kanaka must change his passport, and the Japanese own him, so this tale. Personally, I find it extremely difficult to argue any moral indignation against a back driver, whatever his nationality, who charges me with a crime, and I stand for somewhat inferior service. As a casual visitor to these islands one has no right to be divided outline, but himself, informally may be set down with impunity. The Japanese, who would question occupiers against the presence in these islands of a preponderating number of Japanese; that they will work for less money and perform an equal service. It must be borne in mind that the Japanese islands were to leave to-day the territory would be bankrupt unless a new supply of labor could be brought in at once. The Japanese do all the work in the cane fields, and the production of sugar in the country. The Japanese were brought here in such large numbers in the first place because they would work cheaply. Complaint comes because they do not stick to the cane fields either they would not compete with the work of the land and do into other lines of work or business. Another complaint one hears frequently is that the Japanese are "cocky" and are trying to be friendly with Russia. "They feel that they are as good as anybody else," is one way of phrasing it. Truly, a terrible indictment, "they feel that any American community." Revenement against the present "punishfulness" of the Japanese in probably sharpened by memories of the more defenseless position of the canned factory laborer. In the old days a worker in the fields was bound by a long term contract to the plantation where he was employed. If he tried to leave the plantation he was pursued, captured, and brought to the court. If the stiffness of speaking he was a prisoner, and the long arm of the law could be exercised to keep him where he belonged. It can be easily imagined that this did not make for the most considerate field bosses. Unless all the stories one hearts are list, they used to knock the men around a bit when they were displeased, or at the very least "cuss 'em out." Curious may be the sort of Japanese man, yet this sort of treatment, even though he be a coole. This problem of the races sketched outlined here is one that Hawaii is engaged in solving. In all the transmutations and changes, the old-time native Hawaiian is losing his identity and disappearing. E. G. L. BISHOP HARRIS AT SARATOGA. City Welcome Return of Pantor for Fourth Year.

ATLANTA, Ga., June 11.—The annual commencement of Morris Brown College was, held, to-day.
