List of Trades Followed by Afro-Americans—Y. M. C. A. Building. PORSMOUTH, Va., July 1.—The navy yard at this place is one of the largest operated by the government, employing nearly 4,000 skilled and unskilled mechanics and laborers, and a civil service force of nearly 500. It is very forceful to know that with one or two exceptions Afro-Americans are to be found in every branch of the work. They may be found following the trades herein named: Ship carpenters, smiths, fitters, riggers, caulkers, sparmakers, ordinance men, boiler makers, joiners, oakmim spinners, machinists, painters (ship and house), pavers, teamsters, firemen, riveters, iron workers, helpers for each of the above named trades and general laborers. All of these ideas and some more, viz: Coppermith, pattern maker, plumber, galvanized iron worker, tinners and pipe coverers carry from one to ten apprentices and, as has been mentioned in this column before, offer an excellent opportunity to be young, be handsome, and the unwarranted vicinity to learn a grade that will be of much benefit in the race for life. The places are obtained by competitive examination and it is in a sad compartment that more of our boys do not qualify for them. It might be said here that the Afro-American mechanic is rated from the lowest to the highest grade. There are approximately 1,500 tradesmen and laborers at work here. The clerical force (civil service) does not show up so well. There are nine clerks and two menographers and ten messengers and messenger boys. The clerks are distributed as follows: (Commander's office, 1; C. & R. department, 2; general store, 3; police station, 4; train station, 5; R. E. department, 4, and 2 menographers. While it is well known that labor in a many yard is uncertain on account of lack of work, funds, etc., still it is equally well known that a first-class man is never out of work. See the point? Many of our race here in this city and the neighborhood towns have been constantly employed here for years and have accumulated nice homes with a young sum laid in the bank. We are aware that the bank of the business of both races is kept up by the patronage of the employees of this yard. Some of the more progressive of the race have organised a mutual protective association among the men employed in this yard and they are to be highly commended for the step. The white employees have had one in operation for some time. The American women not eligible for men's employment. The object is to assist a member who may be injured or becomes ill, thereby incapacitating him for work. General Secretary J. E. James, assisted by Dr. Mooreland of the national offices, will begin a campaign for the building fund next week. All who have the necessary amount of money M. A. should get in line with this movement and see that no stone is left unturned to have the necessary amount in hand before the summer is over. The local white Y. M. C. A. has promised substantial aid in the sum of $1,000 and there should be no trouble in securing the Balance needed—$7,000—to have a new and imposing home. All together now the example of New York, Washington and other cities that have no more love for the young men than we have and let us get this building. The commencement exercises of the Portsmouth public schools occurred at the North Street A. M. E. church Friday, June 21, at 4 p. m. Music for the occasion was furnished by the Metropolitan Opera under the direction of V. H. Copeland. The exercises were ordained and replete with good papers and one could easily see that the motto of the class—Contrivance Froves Design—means more than mere words to those to whom it has been an inspiration for the years they have struggled to reach the goal. The teacher also speaks volumes for the teachers who have patiently labored year after year to instill those principles which go to make up good, noble and useful men and women, who shall in turn help those less fortunate than themselves. Prof. I. C. Norcum is the principal of the school. The course is taught by Lesley L. Peston Ellis R. Rogers, E. L. Reddick, Bessie V. Sanford and Etta L. Stanback. Miss Indiana Nicholson of Glasgow street, who has been ill for several weeks, is invaluable. Wednesday, June 26, was the annual outing day of the "Buffalos," under the leadership of Mr. D. Matthew Cuffee, the founder, and Mr. Thomas Wright his rightful heir. The organization has a splendid showing and many were the words of praise bestowed upon them money passed in their fine of march. The Norfolk lodge turned out in full force with their brother lodge and were accompanied by the famous Excelsior band of that city. The well-known Metropolitan band of this city furnished the music for the locals, and as it was their first appearance they created a famous impressible band. Mr. J. Thomas Wright, one of the best known young men of the city, will soon embark in the insurance business. Mr. Wright has a host of friends who will wish him well in his new undertaking. The writer is especially pleased to see Mr. Wright take the step and predict for him a bright future. Read Titz Ack for the best news of the race, and the whole world. Currence Nicholson is ready at all times to furnish you with a copy. You can find a copy at Bass drug store or 640 Carroll street at all times. Keep up with the times. The Afro-American Physicians and Surgeons' Association of this section will hold their July monthly meeting at Backbeach Thursday, July 4. It is expected that a large number from this city will attend. Mr. D. C. Floyd, the popular tailor of Baskerville, returned last week from Boston trip to Baltimore.

Peter's Account of Shooting East African Natives Like Sparrows. From The New York Sun. BIRLIN, June 27.—There were dramatic scenes at the trial in Munich to-day of the libel suit of Dr. Carl Peters against the Munich Post. Dr. Peters is suing the Post for accusing him of being guilty of cruelty to the natives while he was German Imperial Commissioner in East Africa in 1891. Dr. Hebel, the Socialist leader in the Reichstag, was on the stand and succeeded in convincing Peters of cruelty by quoting passages from a book that Peters himself wrote. Peters protested excitedly that the passages quoted were written in a spirit of humor. One of the sentences read: "We shot them (the natives) off the trees like sparrows." Other of the passages were of similar import. There was a long sight between Peters Behrel and the Judge about getting at the name of the person from whom Behrel got the information he used in the Reichstag in denouncing Peters. Behrel succeeded in maintaining his refusal to disclose the name. The proceedings were constantly interrupted by police partisan demonstrations in the court room. FIRST BUILT IN SOUTH Dr. T. W. Thurston, Originator and Manager of Successful Afro-American Manufacturing Industry. KINSTON, S. C., June 29.—During these days of fierce competition in the commercial world, when every manufacturer is demanding the best skilled managers obtainable, practically making a monopoly of the manufacturing industry for the white race. Afro-Americans are not found in the vanguard of manufacturing captains. This places the race in a peculiar economic position. One cannot expect to find Afro-Americans as managers of large manufacturing corporations, but Dr. T. W. Thurston, an Afro-American now residing at Kinston, N. C. is an exception. This man is an industrial captain who convinced some capitalists of Columbia, Pa., that Afro-American brains were fertile and their hands as dexterous as any employees. To prove this he asked them to allow him to conduct a silk mill operated exclusively by Afro-Americans, hence he brought into existence the first silk mill in America operated by Afro-Americans. This mill was established at Columbia, Pa., and was known as "The Five Points Silk Mills." Some years later Dr. Thurston visited the South, where he met thousands of Afro-American youths who could be easily trained to become skilled workmen and the natural advantages of the South, he could not repel the idea to interweave one or more capitalists of the North to build a silk mill in the South. In the South natural advantages for Afro-Americans to become manufacturers are unbounded, yet Dr. Thurston was compelled to get white capitalists. The town of Columbia, Pa., did not have many Afro-American inhabitants, therefore could not furnish the necessary capital to build the South. The Afro-Americans of the South are not imbued with the striking spirit, and their productive capacity to earn 27 per cent, more for the Ashley & Bailey Company then this company was earning in the North was sufficient proof for these capitalists to see the wisdom of Dr. Thurston's logic. Seeing decided advantage for success, these capitalists saw the opportunity made possible by this Afro-American silk expert and manager. The year of 1840 the first silk mill in the South was begun and a new industry in the South of the Bayville life to the town of Bayville, N. C., by the touch of an Afro-American looks natural. During the mouth of October 1850, after all of the machinery had been installed in this large plant by this mechanical progenitor of silk manufacturing in the South, thousands of intricate instruments majestically and automatically began to move at the touch of the operatives. This was the beginning of a new era in Afro-American industrial life in the South—the early 19th century, clad, and women of the progressive class, caught the spirit and applied for positions, which made the supply greater than the demand. There must be positions for the trained young men and women of the race if we are to be liberated from industrial slavery. We cannot expect this class of trained and thrifty young people to become highly productive until we have our own workers. When the young people of Fayetteville saw the mining industry market their intelligence they accepted the opportunity. This laboring material, so far as manufacturing silk, was raw, yet they were patient and endeavored to master every point of the business that would, make them a developing factor in the pioneer silk-manufacturing industry of the South. Among his new industrial army employed at this silk mill as operatives were Miss Gertie Hood, daughter of Bishop Hood; Miss Chesnut, sister of Chas. Chesnut; Miss Eva Henderson, sister of Dr. Benjamin Henderson, ex-postmaster of Fayetteville, N.C., she being his assistant during his incumbency in office, and young ladies from the best Afro-American families of the locality, becoming faces and arrayed in garments, excellent home training, every employee at his or her station made a scene indescribable. In the rural districts of the South there are thousands of Afro-Americans writing and longing for the moment allowing them to put into play their latent energies for the building of gigantic manufacturing corporations—there is enough Americans to hire them in the State. Americans to make this fertile section of the country become a manufacturing beehive of Afro-American industries. This mill resurrected young men and women that had been consigned to the cemetery of commercial inactivity. It brought young men from the fields who were young men from the fields who were a sample of what it has done, one David Allister, a young man, started as a greaser in the mill and worked himself up to the position of foreman of one of the floors and to day this young man is a student in Humpton Normal and Industrial Institute seeking mechanical knowledge that will make him proficient in the manufacturing field. Show the opportunity and the necessity of our people entering the manufacturing field. GEO. F. KING. Graduate in Brooklyn The crop of Afro American graduates from the advanced schools in Brooklyn this season, if not large in number, is promising in quality. Besides Roscoe Conkling Giles, whose winning of a school championship last week, the Boyz High School furnished another graduate of the race. Robert F. Lattimore, a son of the late George William Lattimore. From the Brooklyn Training School for Teachers, the graduates included Miles Harte, Miles Millett, Waffeld and Mine Nettle Moore, the last named having taken the kindergarten course. Inaugurated as Governor of Georgia Worn by Marshal of the Day Radical Program of New Governor. ATLANTA, Ga., June 29.—Hoke Smith was inaugurated Governor of Georgia at noon to-day. The oath of office was administered by Chief Justice William H. Fish of the Supreme Court, before the joint sessions of the two branches of the Legislature, which began its annual assemblage this week. Governor Smith then delivered his inaugural address from a platform erected in the open air on the west front of the Capitol. The feature of the occasion was the parade of troops and citizens escorting the Governor-elect from his home to the Capitol. The Fifth Georgia Regiment and two troops of the First Cavalry, beside numerous Hoke Smith Clubs from parts of the State and hundreds of alliances to the parade under General Clement A. Evans, under the General Evans wore his uniform in brigade-adjener-general of the confident service, which he wore at the final surrender at the close of the Civil War. Governor Smith in his inaugural address suggested special legislation to prevent corporations from using improper influence to control legislation. He advocated that all representatives of corporate persons should be required to register with the Secretary of State. The Legislature, he said, should prohibit the railroads from issuing free passes between points within the State. point within the state. The contribution of lawyers for political purposes by corporations or special interests, the Governor declared, should be prohibited by a State law. He urged requiring candidates for public office to submit sworn statements of money spent, its purpose and its sources. The Governor should be amended, be said, to provide a new standard for the elective franchise, suggesting the Alabama law as a model. The State of Georgia, he maintained, has the right to fix a legal standard, the qualifications being required of all withholding or code. This amendment, he suggested, be amended to the voters into six classes, as follows: First—All persons who served in any war of the United States, the Confederate States or the State of Georgia. Second—Their lawful descendants. Third—The persons of good character who held the duties and obligations of citizenship; or Four—Can read and write correctly in English any paragraph of the Federal or State Constitution. Fifth-Owners of forty acres of land on which they live; or Ninth--Owners of $500 worth of taxable property in the State. The control of the liquor traffic by local option and the protection of "dry" communities from the "jug trade" were urged. Continuing, the Governor said: "Any plan for the Negroes which fails to recognize the difference between the white and the black; races will fail. The honest student of history knows that the Negro had full opportunity for generations to develop before the days of slavery; that the Negro race was improved by slavery and that the majority of the Negroes in this State have ceased to improve since slavery. Few have been helped by learning from books. All have been taught who have been taught or mute to work. "The Negro child should be taught manual labor and how to live. The Negro teacher should be selected less by book than by character examination. The Negro school should help the Negro, not injure him. Racial differences cannot be overcome by misguided philanthropists. Superiority does not justify cruelty. The man who breaks the law to punish a criminal is himself a criminal. There is no place in Georgia for riotors and mobs. The riotors of the Governor to exhaust the power of his office, to enforce law and to prevent lynching, and I shall perform this duty. I recognize the duty of the white man to be absolutely just to the Negro." ACROSS AFRICA BY AUTO. German Lieutenant Has Special Machine for Flipper Trim. BERLIN, June 28.

THE NEW YORK AQB: THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1907. Impact of the Growth of the A. M. B. Bison Church and Livingston College. From The Independent. I wish very much that a large proportion of the American people, especially that element that, in inclined to grow despondent now and then regarding the future relations of the two races in the Southern States, might have been present last week at Livingston College during the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the college. Livingston College in a large degree is the creation of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church. This special religious denomination has a large church membership of $30,000, mainly in the Southern States, the largest membership being in North Carolina and Alabama; 3,250 church organizations; about 3,000 ministers; together with church and school property to the value of about $2,000,000. Twenty-five years ago this church, which had its origin during the days of slavery, put on foot an effort to establish a college at Sallisbury, N. C. The leading spirits in establishing this college were the present senior bishop, Rt. Rev. J. W. Hood, and the late Dr. Joseph C. Price, who became its first president and who did the most to make the college known to the outside world. Dr. Price remained its president until he died, a few years ago. He was among the most eloquent and prominent members of our race in this country. Beginning with essentially nothing in the way of a church, he led nearly through the efforts of the colored people comprising this special church organization, a property in grounds and buildings has been created at Livingston to the value of $100,000. But the special point in connection with this celebration which I think would interest the readers of *The Independent* is in relation to the spirit of the occasion during the time I was present. In the first place, even more interesting to the readers of this volume is their personalities and general order that pervaded the entire atmosphere. Surrounding the college there are a number of neat, beautiful and cultured homes owned by the professors and colored people who have moved into that community for the purpose of educating their children. The general appearance of these villages outside would do credit to civilization of almost any people in any country. On the day that I happened to be present, I should say that there was a gathering of three thousand people on the grounds. There were present I think, seven or eight bishops of this church headed by Rt. Rt. J. W. Hood and Rt. Rt. A. Walters, hundreds of ministers and teachers, and people representing the people of life among the colony people. The people of the colony audience at least, five hundred of the leading white people, men and women of Salisbury, and of the State of North Carolina: the Governor himself was present to represent the State on Friday. Many of the most prominent white people sat upon the same platform with the president of the college and the bishops and other prominent Negroes. The mayor and his wife were present at every session of the exercises. Notwithstanding the mayor by a majority, we all voted east in practically every colony vote east in the municipal election on account of his fairness toward the colored race. Having the days that this celebration lasted $8,000 were secured in cash and promises for the benefit of the college. Some very interesting lessons were learned in connection with the securing of this money. It was given in amounts ranging from twenty-five cents to a thousand dollars. The man who gave the chancellor's dollars would not permit his name to be known, but it has now become an open secret that this generous amount was contributed by Dr. W. H. Goler the president of the college at Salisbury. It was both interesting and encouraging to see a colored bishop get up and announce his subscription of perhaps fifty dollars, a colored woman stand and announce a subscription of ten dollars or ask, and then the next second to see the mayor of Salisbury announcing his subscription for a generous amount, a white banker in Salisbury arising in his place and announcing a subscription of fifty dollars, a merchant in Salisbury announcing a subscription of twenty-five dollars, and so on to the end. The white people seemed to be just as anxious that as large a sum of money be secured for the college as was true of the colored people. They seemed just as proud of the college as the other students. Then of the large colored students present. Taking it all in all, it was one of the finest demonstrations of the ability of the two races to live together in peace and harmony I have witnessed in a good while in the South. This occasion also impressed itself on me in another direction. One can find one forerunner object lessons in the way of self-fell on the part of the Negro than is presented at Livingston College. The colored people themselves from the African-American nomination annual about $14,297 out of their hard earnings and poverty in maintaining this college. May I add, in closing, that there are two unfinished buildings upon the grounds. In each case the buildings are surely needed. One is to replace a building destroyed by a fire some years ago upon which practically no insurance was paid. The other is to build to fill a doleful want. A few thousand dollars would complete each one of these buildings, and I believe that there are enough people in America, especially in view of the fact that these people have raised eight thousand dollars to help themselves, who would like to contribute enough money to complete such much-needed buildings, and for the benefit of the building of the race and the notification of all the people in the South. No man could have witnessed the exercises in connection with this anniversary without, being impressed, first, with the efforts of the colored people, to help themselves, and, secondly, with the willingness of a large element of the best white people in that region to help the race awaken in that region. The Roanoke W. Washington J. L. O. Sinetieth Commencement. BAYMOUR Mk. June 25. The 19th annual commencement of the Colored High and Training School of this city was held last Friday night. Prof. L. R. Moore dean of the Teachers' College of Howard University delivered the address to the graduates. Mayor J. Barry Mahool presented certificates to forty six graduates. Two students were awarded certificates for completing the two years' course. Dr. J. H. Waring is principal of the school. Shelbyville, Neb. Services last Sunday were well attended at the Second Baptist Church. Rev H. W. Jones, the pastor, preached at 11 a.m. Children's Day was observed June 29, and was well attended. The recitations and hymns were sung. The $3.40 Mrs. I. Bruce club gave a social at Mrs. Robert Smith's last Saturday for the benefit of the church. This Company has an principal object the better housing of the Negro Tenant China. As a result of its operation for a period of a little over a year, it can point to the control of twenty-five (25) New York City Apartment Houses, valued at over Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars (990,000). Nine (9) of this number the Company owns, and the eight district (16) are held by the Company under long lease. These homes rent for Ninety Thousand Dollars (990,000) a year. This fact will tend to indicate the splendid possibilities in the way of Dividends in store for stockholders in this Company. What this Company is doing in New York City where its people are found in any considerable numbers. Invest now and help this great movement onward. PHILIP A.

The article which follows is from The American Missionary, of New York. It explains that Fisk University, the oldest, perhaps, of the schools founded by the American Missionary Association, like Hampton, Tunkergee and others, is recognizing the value of Industrial Education for the foundations for extended courses. Fisk University is an eleventh-hour laborer in Industrial Education. It is less than a year since it entered upon its duties. None the less does it claim a place in the Industrial Number of the American Missionary magazine. If its claim is disputed by those who have borne the heat of criticism, it is true. Years ago Fisk had a successful Industrial Department. This was given up for financial reasons at the time. By the favor of the Nater Board it was given a term of years on condition that the university would raise $25,000 to house and equip the department—too good an offer to lose—was taken up and to-day, with up-to-date physical and chemical laboratories, a shop for woodworking, a miniature farm and a dairy, cooking and sewing classes. Fisk stands shoulder to shoulder. It has been much longer the industrial fields. It should be understood, however, that Fisk does not intend to compete with or try to rival any of the purely industrial institutions. It is to-day—and an important one—that Fisk must acquire the bigger or learning. Fisk has stood for the "higher training" in accordance with a promise made to its benefactors more than forty years ago, at the time of its founding. It requires Fisk to acquire a college education and the use to which this training has been put by its alumni, added to the urgent need of and demand for broadly educated Negroes, would make any election more difficult. The principles the greatest possible mistake. None the less are we very greatly pleased with our new Department of Agriculture, Domestic Economy, Mechanic Arts Applied Chemistry, and others in mind. It is not ours to train farmers, to turn out maisons, bricklayers, carpenters, machinists. We have been sending out teachers, doctors, lawyers, drummers, businessmen, farmers, etc.; and we share the opinion of the modern educational world that men cannot go into these vocations entirely and fully equipped as they have had the training of such a department. We must provide the highest satisfaction to inaugurate it. The people for whom Fisk was founded particularly need leaders who have had the training of applied science. In the past, Fisk has taught the heights of manhood, they need every help and no training should be denied them. That the vast majority of Negroes are to do the work of peasants goes without saying, but that they are to be allowed to claim that no one who has caught "the Fisk idea" would for an instant allow.

White Elks of Colorado Knocked Out. From The Denver Stateman. The first effort of white Elks in Colorado to put restrictions upon the colored Elks has come to an inglorious close. The attorney general W. H. Dickson has rendered an opinion at the request of the Secretary of State to the effect that while the secretary has no right to receive duplicate emblems on file according to the penalty imposed on the net area, the penalty provisions of the net area colored Elks may continue in the enjoyment of the present insignia without fear of the courts. A world of勾itation has been going on the past week, and the matter and except for the bad taste the mouth, all is over. In the settlement of it, it is clear that certain infuriate been friendly to us and we mark them well that we may re- Here are some more shining examples of the injustice of indicting a race because of the shortcoming of individuals. That much of the treatment meted out to Negroes is based on prejudice pure and simple and is not the outcome of fair dealing in obvious. There are those who loudly declaim against the mental incapacity of the Negro. Yet when a Negro does not understand the meaning of the law that too often be is treated with coldness and dislike if not with open contumely? And such cases are by no means confined to the South. So big and commonplitan a city as Pittsburgh furnishes the latest illustration, as related in the book "The Negro." A young Negro in a high school laid by his scholarship fairly won the right to the cabidictorian of the graduating class. Therefore ten members of the class refused to attend the commencement exercises. To this plea of contumeliness "the authorities responded and they would not receive diplomas. Again, the winner of a Rhode-scholarship over many white competitors—about as strongens as a task intellectually, as vowen men of the age are called many to Philadelphia. He has also won numerous other prizes from American colleges, and he will go to the English university to which his Rhodes-credentials, will admit him with complete mental and physical preparation as can be asked. He is not a graduate, but a grandfather were students of a high order, feet which go to displace the theory that a Negra is necessarily lackin in brains because of the color of his skin. There are so many instances to mention that the author is to mention Booker T. Washington and the begin of industries, capable, worthy and valuable workers turned out by Hempton and Tookegue, that the indulgence, if ever brought, might now justly be pushed because it could never be relied on any hope of resulting in a condition. The spirit which sweepingly condemns any race or class of man is not the American spirit. The true temper is that which belongs to God. And human beings, wherever their color are brought to higher levels not by indiscriminate abuse, but by the helping hand.

At a meeting of the trustees of Atlanta University held in Boston Dr. Horace Humstead, for 20 years president of Atlanta University, resigned his position. Rev. Edward T. Ware, chapain of the university and son of its founder and first president, will succeed him. President John Hope of Atlanta Baptist College and Prof. T. Edward Owens of Tuskegee Institute were prominent visitors at the commencement of their university and the Brown University degree of A. M. was bestowed upon President Hope. David Bemus, a Montgomery Ala. Neighbor is under sentence of death for the murder of his brother, A. M. Gang his brother, Rev. John Bemus, petitioned the officials that he might die in his convicted brother's stead. The Rev. Mr. Bemus said that he was prepared to be tried and that he was willing to take his place. Of course this remarkable offer was denied by the court officials, but a monster petition is being signed and will be presented in the case of the condemned brother. For 20 years Arthur I. Langton has been an principal in the public schools of St. Louis. In honor of this anniversary the teachers of his building, 21 in number, presented him with a congratulatory message nearly impervious this year from Superintendent Solden restifying to the efficiency of Mr. Langton. The race papers are still commenting on the very helpful and inspiring commencement address of Heary Watterson, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, at Eckstein-Norton University. The University of Pennsylvania released to take any part in the college commencement address Saturday because the authorities refused to permit Taylor, the noted colored runner, to compete. Unique references under the leadership of R. R. Wright, Jr., was recently held in Philadelphia. Prominent Negro and white sociologists and settlement workers and leaders were invited and each gave his views on these questions. "What does the white man want?" is believed that a fair understanding was reached and that far-reaching results will follow. Samuel Murray, assistant librarian in the Congressional Library, Washington, has prepared a bibliography of Negro writers. He has found that there have been 500 different books by Negro writers. He has found that there have been 500 different pieces of music by Negro composers. There has been dedicated and consecrated in Philadelphia a handsome parcel school at the Catholics costing $20,000 in connection with St. Peter's Christian church. Col. Scott, superintendent of West Point Military Academy, reports that the conduct of the colored troops of the Fort Point Military Academy has been admirable in every way. He further adds that it is much better than that of the white troops who preceded them. This was in answer to some criticism of the training the rounds of the white newspapers. Preparations are under way for the celebration of the fortieth anniversary of Harvard University, Nov. 1. At this time, the inauguration of President Thackley. An unresolved number of Negroes are registering as voters in Georgia. New or before have more than 200 or 200 million votes. The number that 3000 will have qualified by the time for voting. A vote will be taken in that State this fall upon a proposed Cifframching law. Negroes in Georgia resides in Marmata, Mexico, and conducts business there and over in Brownsville, just across the line. He is the shrewdest and known business man in northern Mexico and conducts business and attends to his business. He is worth $200,000. Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, D. D., has been appointed by the census bureau to the Negro Histories of the country. Edwin P. Jones, district grand master of the Mississippi Odd Fellowships and fragrant delegation, will be making a great presentation for himself as a guest and gentlemen on the English people. Castle Hall, a colored theater, costing $8,000, has been erected in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Repine A. Michele of New Orleans, one of the most expert and skillful coin counters in the country died last week. He was an employee of the United States subterranean. It is said that a spurious touch without instant detection. In *The Charities* is an article by Elizabeth Tyler on "A New York Settlement Negotiator." It is an account of caricatures by the artist, in the moment houses on the west side. In the same issue is an account of "Colored Settlement Work" in Washington, D.C. Paul Quinn College, under the leadership of Bishop Emans Tyres, has just had her most successful commencement. All bills were paid and a large sum of money raised. The overexercises were attended by the overexercises was questioned as one of unbound enthusiasm. Major John R. Lynch, paymaster U.S.A., accompanied by his clerk and wife and children, is on his way to the Philadelphia in company with the North Cavalry. By reason of the appointment of a Negro ginger at a Chattanooga district it threatens to cause operations. The new official was highly recommended to the internal revenue officials and was appointed through civil service examination. Prof. J. R. E. Lee, director academic department, Tuskegee Institute, attended the Colored State Teachers' Association meetings in North Carolina, Virginia and Kentucky, and addresses on educational topics. He also visited Hampton. Prof. Lee is president of the National Negro Teachers' Association, which holds his session at Hampton Institute Aug. 1, 2 and 3. He is attending the State conventions in the interest of promoting education and reports that there is much interest in the coming Hampton convention. BLIND TO A RAJAH'S COLOR. American Women Agreeable to Dusky Potentate. Paris June 29. "The American woman seem to have been suddenly stricken with color blindness," laughed a witty French countess as she observed the Maharajah of Kapurthala bending over a body Yankee girl in the grand dining room of the Hotel Ritz. The most fashionable American women here have been the dazzle Maharajah's guests at the exquisite diner he is giving at the Hotel Ritz. At no later he entertained Mrs. Charles Cattall, Mrs. and Miss Marshall, Princess of Wales. The French society women have turned the cold shoulder toward the Indian potentate, whom they regard as a semi-barbarian. And they recall that their sisters from across the sea formerly were the greatest recompense to meet the French society. They have been burnished by the African man Just Opened 138, 140, 142 W.

Thomas Picture, 7 and 8 Chatham Square. Secretary-Treasurer, Jerome B. Peterson, 7 and 8 Chatham Square, in the Borough of Manhattan, New York. Afro-American Council Resolutions The Afro-American Council has met and adjourned. In its declaration of principles it asserts that American race prejudice is on the increase against the Afro-American race. These are the same kind of resolutions that the Afro-American Council, or similar bodies, have been passing for the last twenty-five years. If such gatherings and such resolutions do no good in decreasing such prejudice, what is the good of such meetings and such resolutions? If such prejudice is on the increase, would it not be better for the Afro-American Council and other bodies to adopt different tactics and a different policy? Would it not be well for such bodies to try some constructive policy, to cease for a few years passing the same kind of time-worn resolutions, which the public has grown accustomed to? We have reason for speaking as we do. In the first place, the doings of the Afro-American Council were given practically, no attention by the public press outside of Baltimore, and even in Baltimore the attention paid to the meeting was very insignificant on the part of the daily press; the Associated Press and other news associations gave no attention to the declaration of principles. Not a single New York daily paper had a single line concerning the Council; not a single New York daily paper carried the declaration of principles. All this, in our opinion, indicates that the public is tired of this kind of thing and is looking to the race for something else. We have a second reason for affirming that the race is tired of these kind of meetings and more tired of this kind of resolutions. A close examination of the personnel of the attendance at the recent Afro-American Council in Baltimore will show that outside of Baltimore and Washington there were scarcely a dozen individuals present. Strong and useful men of the race do not attend such gatherings any more; they have seen their weakness, and we fear, harmfulness. If the race was convinced that such gatherings as has recently been in session at Baltimore was accomplishing any good in allaying racial prejudice, such gatherings would be attended by hundreds and thousands of our best people. Is it not time for the race to find a different policy—something that will interest the public and the race itself? Some time in August another body of Afro-American is to meet, we think, in Boston. They will pass the same kind of resolutions and, we suppose, with the same effect. No man can accuse the Editor of THE Age of not standing up manfully for all the rights of the Afro-American people. No man can accuse him of not doing a man's part in relation to all such meetings as the Afro-American Council represents; but the Editor of THE Age is convinced, as hundreds of others are, that he can best help the race by building up a great publishing house, which he intends to do, and he is getting pretty tired of spending his time and money on the railroad train traveling to conventions which the race does not want and does not appreciate. Political Loud Talk and Nothing Doing We referred to the impotence of our men as factors in political log rolling brought about by the supineness, cow ardice and general unseeded, in the main, of the fellows who have come to the top and essay to lead our hopes and aspirations. In no given situation do we ever lack for leaders. Every fellow is a leader and few there be who follow. Take this Brownville business, about which THE AGE and most of us have had much to say. Anathomas, one after another, have been showered on the President, on Secretary Taft and on each and every one of the senators who stood with them in justifying the dismissal of our men from the army. Of these senators specially marked for slaughter was Senator Philander C. Knox of Pennsylvania, who in a speech in the senate justified as powerfully as he could the President's action, for doing which he was roundly abused, as we now remember, not only by the esteemed Boston Howler, but by all of the Afro-American political leaders of Pennsylvania and the rest of the country. And yet, and yet, when the Pennsylvania State convention met a few days ago it unanimously (mark the word and the action) endorsed Senator Knox's candidacy for the Presidency and none there were of us either to prevent to Mr. Wiseman such indemnity or to protest against H. Newark. Not only was Senator, Knox en-After insured for the Presidency, but President lumbered Rosevelt's action in the Brownsville things: Either that our man approves the resolutions passed by the Pennsylvania State convention or that they were impotent to interfere with their passage. We have 75,000 Afro-American voters in Pennsylvania, with, as we have said, leaders galore, but what are they going to do about it? We recall that our friends—William A. Simailr, N. F. Mossol, George H. White and John E. Millipend—have been holding meetings of protest in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, New York, Boston and other places, but apparently to no avail. Do these wise men confess to lack of influence in preventing this action, or what does it all mean? And then, down in Louisville a few days ago our brethren held a convention. They protested Roosevelt and the likes of him in all the languages of protest and yet when the convention was held down there a few days ago it, too, endorsed Roosevelt and called for his nomination or for the nomination of some man like him, who would carry out his policies. Now, here again, why didn't our leather-lunged beethren protest this action? Why didn't they prevent the President's endorsement and why didn't they save themselves from the ridiculous position they find themselves in of having it proved to the world how without effect their loud-sounding resolutions are and how little they are counted by those who control political matters in Kentucky? It all comes back to what we have been saying. Let us organize, organize and stay organized, and do what we say we will do, or stop this eternal protesting when we are not able to back up our threats and murmurs of disapproval. --- The Degree Business Again Some one, those charged with the responsibility of the school, or some one else, should concern himself with saving Morris Brown College from the ridiculous position it occupies in this degree conferring business. We seriously question whether any school can please even those who receive its degrees when it dispenses them with such reckless prodigality. Morris Brown College at its last commencement conferred more degrees, we are informed, than either of the three other schools for the education of Afro-Americans located in Atlanta—Atlanta university, Atlanta Baptist College and Clark University—in fact, more, we hear, than all three of these combined. Degrees are something to be prized, but they become very cheap when almost anybody can get them for the asking. Morris Brown College cheapens itself and cheapens every degree it conferred when such degree is not conferred for exceptional merit. Among the degrees conferred in May at its closing exercises was that of Ph.D. on three persons. Now this degree is one never conferred; it is to be won by research in some special line of work. To have conferred such a degree, then, as it did upon a chirpologist of a northern city was doing that man, the trustees and the school itself a positive injustice. No matter how deserving personally the recipient was in the case mentioned, to have conferred this degree without exacting research under a prescribed course of study, such as we fear Morris Brown College has not at present, was in conflict with governing academic ideals. Sympathy for Mr. Adams. The question has been raised by the Washington correspondent of The New York Times as to whether the Hon Cyrus Fields, Adams of Illinois and Minnesota, who holds down the comfortable job of assistant register of the United States treasury, is a white man or an Afro-American Negro or colored man. The difficulty as to the racial placing of Mr. Adams appears to have grown out of the disputed way in which be voted on the application of an Afro-American for membership in a Washington society who fled it is to gather rare postage stamps. We sympathize with Mr. Adams. We have known him a great many years and he has always styled himself as an Afro-American and is one, although he is so white that it would be difficult to discover the fact with the most powerful microscope. But his life-long affiliations have been with the Afro-American people. As a school master, as an edition, as an office holder, as a forceful influence in organization work, he has been thoroughly identified with the interests of the Afro-American people. Small Farm Development Cotton is still king in the agricultural problems of the Southern people, but it is only profitable to the large planter, the man who has large acreage and means to cultivate it without mortgaging his crop before he puts the seed in the ground. The small farmer will find more profit in raising his food stuff and such commodities of the truck kind as will command a ready sale than in trying to raise cotton. Onions, Irish potatoes and peanuts, where the soil conditions are favorable are valuable crops. And every small farmer should have a large and well cultivated garden, with plenty of fowl of all sorts, and one or more cows. A ten-acre farm run on these lines would support fowl and swine enough to feed the family and provide some really cash, as the sheddings of corn, sweet pota- THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY JULY 4, 1907. trees and peanuts can be used as food. And it is better to cultivate a small farm of this kind to the highest point of its productivity than to undertake to cultivate a big acreage, as so many do, when the cultivation is indifferent and the product is limited and unprofitable. Every farmer, small or large, should make it an invariable rule to raise his own food stuffs. Bitter: Google's Ideas Editor Chase's Editor Discovered. Mr. William Calvin Chase of The Washington Bee is a bulky citizen, with burly intellectuals and a kicky tongue. There are times when we think that his big liver is in a state of chronic rebellion and that he should put himself on diet of red onions and stale wheat bread. Mr. Chase made an address at a Washington function recently on "Negro Editors," and with one sweep of his mouth condemned all of the craft, North, South and West, as non-fit, no good, venal, craven, selfish and vicious. He did not lump himself in the characterization because he was violently restrained by his abounding modesty, the abnormal proportions of which have always been a surprise to those who know him best. Take it all in all, the Afro-American editors have been and are as faithful, honest and competent a lot of men as the race has produced in any of the relations of its various life activities, as a factor in the life of the Republic, and when Mr. Chase gets his liver cleansed we think he will look at it in that way. Organization and Work of Organization In his annual address to the National Afro-American Council at Baltimore last week President Alexander Walters took occasion to refer to the position which Mr. Fortune has taken with regard to civic organization work, which we explained at length in the last issue of THE AGE, and remarked that Mr. Fortune appears to forget that while the masses have neglected to respond to the pleadings and efforts of their thoughtful men and women to have them organize for the protection and defense of their civil and political rights, they have responded nobly to the call for organization for religious work, social and fraternal work, and the like, and he might have added, for business purposes. But Mr. Fortune did not forget anything of the sort and pointed out the fact in an editorial article in THE AGE last week dealing with this very subject of organization and the work of organization. Bishop Walters appears to have overlooked the fact that in his statement of the case he admitted that Mr. Fortune was correct in his statement of the case that Afro-Americans had neglected in the past to organize for the protection and defense of their civil and political rights and show no readiness to do so in the present, furnishing, therefore, a sufficient institution for the conclusion Mr. Fortune had reached that he had best attend to his own business after long years of effort to get the people to organize for the protection and defense of their civil and political rights. Bishop Walters also points out the fact that the work of organization is just as necessary as it has ever been. We go a step further and declare that it is more necessary than it ever was before. There never was a time since the emancipation of the race when it needed more a conjunction of its brains and character and the aggregation of its masses into a compact and pliable body, that is a body responsive to the requirements of a given condition of affairs as its responsible leaders should understand and indicate it. This being true, it stands to reason that the work of striving to get the people to organize should be prosecuted still, and there will be found people willing to make the sacrifice required in the work. Having spent a lifetime in that sort of work, Mr Fortune simply does not feel under the circumstances, that he can make further sacrifices in the further prosecution of it while abating nothing of his sympathy and support of such in his chosen work as a journalist and occasional public speaker Real Estate Restrictions Some of the white property owners in the upper part of New York City are putting in their transfers of real estate a proviso that the property shall not be sold, leased or rented to "Negroes." Of course, that sort of proviso will not hold in law, we believe, as in a cause at law it would be shown that the discrimination was made on account of race and color, contrary to the letter of the fundamental law. And this reminds us that the Anaconda tin property acquired by Mr. Frederick Duglass, known as "Cedar Hill," carried in the deed of transfer taken over by Mr. Duglass a similar restriction. The property now controlled in fee simple and by leasehold by Afro-American real estate operators, in New York and Kings counties, is one of the most remarkable business twists in the history of New York, as the growth of the business of these dealers has been a matter of only a very few years. Their advent in the field has been a distinct gain to Afro-American tenants in the matter of the location and quality of available rentable property. Japanese in the United States According to statistics furnished by K. K. Kawakami in his article in the current number of The North-American Review, an extract from which we published in The Anz of last work, there are in the United States only 40,350 Japanese, of whom 8,720 are females. Of the total number 978 are officials and students. 410 professionals, 4,051 merchants, 1,700 farmers, the remainder being classed as laborers on farms, railroads, domestics and miscellaneous. Of the total number 45,282 are on the Pacific coast district, 1,860 in the Chicago district and 2,456 in the New York district. Considering the volume of noise the Pacific coast agitators have produced over the Japanese question, one should think that it would be a hard matter not to step on the heels of a Japanese at every turn. And if the Japanese were allowed free admission to the United States it is highly improbable that the number would ever be large. But the fact that the Japanese in the United States are as law-abiding, industrious and thrifty as any of the European nationalities which we get by the thousands every week, there is no reason at all why they should not be allowed to come to the United States and enjoy the same advantages as Europeans, except that they are Asiatics and that Americans affect not to be able to tolerate any people who are not white of color. It is natural that the Japanese should resent the barring of them out of the country and the preventing of them from becoming citizens of the country by naturalization, as Europeans and Africans are permitted to do. As long as we discriminate against them in this way and treat them with violence to their persons and property, as was recently done in San Francisco, we cannot expect them to feel pleasant about it, and it is an open question as to how long the traditional good relations between the two countries will stand the strain if there shall be no change in the policy of the government and the attitude of the Pacific coast public toward the whole Asiatic question. Crimes Attributed to Use of Cocaine A New Orleans correspondent of The New York Sun has discovered that the use of cocaine has become very general among a sort of Negro in the cities and in lumber camps and the like and the use of it, he claims, is largely responsible for the numerous heroin crimes against persons and property which Negroes are alleged to commit. Now, the main question is to find out if the use of cocaine has become general among the sort of Negroes described by the New Orleans correspondent, or if he is simply seeking to get at a good excuse for the villainous violations of the law against the person and property rights of Negroes? But we are not prejudiced against his statement of the case one way or another; the important thing is to establish the truth or falsity of his statement of the case. If it can be shown to be false it will be well for all concerned; if it can be shown to be true, then every means possible should be employed to break up the sale and use of it. The States where it is sold, if it is sold, can pass stringent laws against the sale and use of it and they should do it if the sale and use of it is as general as he claims it is, and if it leads to the disordered state of mind which makes people crazy enough to commit horrible crimes such as he alleges. Now, this is a matter of the gravest character and we would appreciate it if every Afro-American physician under whose notice this article falls would write THE AO at once what he knows about it as learned in the line of his profession and if he has come upon such use of it let him write us and say so. In order that they and the readers of THE AO may understand the whole subject as presented by the New Orleans correspondent we reproduce the entire article in THE AO to-day. Mrs. Carrie Nation, who thinks that she has a commission from some mysterious power to break up schools by smashing them and the tobacco habit with any weapon she can lay her hands upon, some time ago transferred her base of operations from Kansas to the wicked city of Washington. The police of Washington are no more tolerant of Mrs. Nation and her methods than those of Kansas; as a consequence which the law not only allows but commands, Mrs. Nation spends much of her time in the police station. The woman thinks that she is playing the martyr act, but in fact she is playing the fool act. The sale of liquors and tobacco is legalized by State and Federal laws, and as long as that is the case violent interference with the sale of them is a breach of law and order, and a person habitually guilty of doing this will make himself ridiculous instead of a martyr. When public opinion reaches the point where it will decree that liquors and tobacco are poisons and dangerous to health and morals the sale of them will be prohibited instead of legalized. There has been of late a remarkable increase of crimes against person and property by Afro-Americans in the Greater New York. What is the explanation of this disagreeable condition of affairs? Is it traceable to the large increase of the Afro-American population, among which there necessarily would be some bad characters? Perhaps, with the difficulty of securing steady employment here, which is hard for a white man and double so for a black one. Whatever the cause the fact is to be deplored, as sentiment toward the entire Afro-American population is being affected for the worse. The time may soon come when our responsible men will have to organise to make conditions better for those of the race who come into the Greater New York with the hope to better their condition out of the frying pan into the fire. It is of interest to the Afro-American people to know that the Southern Railroad has relinquished its control of the Central Railroad of Georgia, as the policy of the latter road has been one of the means in its discrimination toward them, going so far as to maintain its own sleeping car service in order, as a State road, to prevent them from securing sleeping accommodations. But the road is not a State but an interstate one, with branches extending into Alabama and Tennessee. The rigid policy of separation of the races enforced by the Seaboard Air Line, the Central Railroad of Georgia and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad should be tested in the proper courts, but the Afro American people show no disposition to do so, except with hot air talk and perfervid resolutions. The Russian people are still in the throes of unorganized revolution against the existing autocratic rule of the Czar and the nobility. The Czar has repeatedly shown bad faith toward the people in his promises that they should have a sort of constitutional government, and has twice dispersed the Duma, which had been convoked by his order. It would seem that the people can have no relief from the vicious form of government they have except by violent revolution, which in time will have cohesive and coherent organization and competent leadership, even as these came of the discontent of the French in their revolt against kingcraft, nobility and priestcraft, in the horrible culminations of the French Revolution. Something of the same sort appears to be the destiny of the Russian people. The Business League meeting at Topeka, Kansas, the last of August should be one of the best of all the meetings that have gone before it. There has never been a meeting of the League that for West before, and the people of the West are by their preparations for the meeting showing that they appreciate the distinction of having the meeting among them. And it will be a pleasant and profitable trip for any business man or woman of the North. The West is a great empire unto itself, and is well worth looking over and studying. While the Indians, the Hawaiians and the South Sea Islanders have been destroyed, so that a few decades hence a specimen of them, will be a curiosity, by the civilization of the white man and the rigors of his competition, the African in the same situation multiplies with promptness and facility, grows fat and skook from habit, and laughs and makes merry when the whole white population is kicking and cursing him. And, why? Mark Twain has been having the time of his life in England, where everybody has lionized him, from prince to peasant, and where Oxford University has conferred on him the degree of Litt. D. The man who makes mankind laugh is as useful as the man who makes them think. Mark Twain has made the world laugh a great deal, and the world delights to honor him. Oklahoma appears to have all of the trouble that bad people should have in the effort to get into the Federal Union as a State. Its constitutional convention was as rotten a thing of its sort as we have had in the history of the Republic. As a Democratic State it would be as bad in its treatment of its African American citizens as any of the Southern States. It is better to have a little business of your own, however modest, than to work for some one else. Carl Peter's Brutality in Africa Recalled. From The New York Evening Post Herr Belobel never did a better service than to recall to public attention Dr. Carl Peter's gross and inexcusable erudits which in Africa. A man of great ability, who acredited the considerable general and scientific knowledge of that continent. Dr. Peter was retired from the Government service in disgrace because of temperamental failings and heartless tortures of the natives who fell into his power. He will remain a classic temple of the way in which a man of education a scientist has generally considered to be an ornament to us as a prior race, may degenerate as soon as he is given complete control over the lives and liberties of those whom, by reason of color or condition, he considers his inferiors. After reading of such actions as those of Peters and Prince, he was a man of a commanding in welcoming the world before he back wardness to European savagery. Yet these German offenders are paralleled in the experience of every colonizing power, and it must not, of course, be believed that these German specimens are characteristic of all their colonial officials. The Pression rule of iron and the great power to discipline and push the burden to the army may however dispose the transplanted German bureament to pressures of great severity. NO PERMITS FOR JAPANESE. San Francisco Officials Open the Way for a Test Case of Treaty Rights. SAN FRANCISCO, June 28. The Board of Police Commissioners has denied the application of five Japanese for the privilege of renewing their permits to keep intelligence offices in this city and has rejected two Japanese applicants who denied the privilege on the ground that the applicants were not citizens of the United States and that the policy of the board had been to give the preference to citizens. Of the board President Huntert suggested that the refusal to grant permits would open the way for a decision in court as to the extent of the rights of Japanese under the Japanese law in the United States and Japan should the applicants desire to take the matter into court. NEW ORLEANS, June 24.—Close observers of social conditions are now offering an explanation, if only tentative, of the coonishing and hitherto inexplicable problems of the poor, including the imprisoned or in the immediate neighborhood of mining, lumber, railroad and other settlements or camps where industrial operations on a large scale are in progress. The victims, from infancy to decapitate old age, the wanton murders and deadly assaults committed with steadily increasing frequency and under circumstances of abso- borellish savagery; the abandoned recklessness of the land; theounding indifference to the sufferings of either themselves or their victims—these phnomenas have for some time past engaged the attention of enlightened men outside of the locality. Enormous so incredible are outside of the locality. Southerners, especially the survivors and descendants of the old slavery regime, have simply dismissed the stories as the inspirations of a latter day prejudice and hatred. In the rural districts, particularly those most heavily populated by colored people, rarely bear of such things save from vague distances and through the lack of excited newspapers, goes far to confirm them in their attitude of incredulity. But the cocaine hypothesis is slowly, though surely, gaining force. It is supported by the demonstrations of science by the testimony of experienced and obeyed men whose occupations bring them in contact with the drug, gangs and devoted to pursuits other than that of agriculture. Physicians of high character and qualifications all agree that the cocaine habit, more particularly when combined with the liquor habit, accounts for the high number of years has shocked innumerable communities throughout the land. They trace the action of the drug with absolute precision, and now, in the light of this new and startling controversy, men are beginning to realize instances involving white persons of the drug, whose extravagant and alarming outbursts when under the influence of cocaine were utterly inexplicable at the time. So they argue that if an educated, refined, well bred white man of gentle appearance was exposed to the purely accidental administration of cocaine into a savage and violent ruthenium, the illiterate Negro, dwelling in a semi-barbarous environment and apart from the restraints of social order, they may easily develop the instincts of a wild animal under similar excitation. As a matter of fact it is no longer an open question whether cocaine is furnished to such counts and settlements, as are any other drugs, and that the largest drug houses south of New York says that his firm ships enormous quantities of the drug to all parts of this country, from contractors and operators of the more extensive kind, and these say that they could not keep their workin, forces and machines much as a week if the men were unable to maintain immediate vicinity. The effect of the stimulant, as eminent physicians describe it, is to reshape the individual from all sides, to become more aware of the sensation of fatigue, pain, sorrow or unhappiness, to produce a strange evaluation and for the moment at least to equip the subject for the most extremal force of strength, endurance and daring. That liquor aromas certain passions has long been a fact of general knowledge. It is equally notorious, however, that a highly inimitable Negro is merely a noise, a noise, a noise. He is foolishly contentious, but easily controlled, and at all events impotent for any serious harm. Those who know him best and who recall the black man's loyalty during the civil war throughout a period in his life have saved those impaired by his own natural inclinations—have always contended that he is slandered and misrepresented. They have steadfastly refused to believe the chronicles of horror by which the tragic hero of the race antagonism have been predicted through his actions. They could not understand the astounding metamorphosis of the gentle, well-disposed Negro of 1865 into the unutterable monster of 1863. And, living the simple life of the plantation, and the revered village, they have escaped the dreastfully antiping spectacles of actual experience. Persons differently situated, however, the superintendents of mines and mills the managers of railway construction camps and the like industrial enterprises often put the situation as it really is. They fear the drummers, drummists declare touching the abominable trade in cocaine, and they indorse the latter's assertion that were the traffic suddenly obliterated they could not hold their defensive forces together for any length. Any practical purpose. Leaving the juridical jurisdiction aside, cocaine has come to be to the Negro what opium and other less injurious drugs are to the low class Chinaman. It is, in fact, a passion of steadily increasing violence, and its hold upon its votaries seems all the more relentless because of its more disastrous effects upon the victim. It may be said, doubless will be said by the Northern theorists who have undertaken to teach Southerners, the real truth about the Negro, that this is mere truth about the Negro, that this is mere truth upon their little life, chalistic smattering of issues, as the only guarantee of morality and good citizenship. But to the consciousness of the whites who live here and for a generation have been studying the Negro in the course of their lives, the doctrine hypothesis as appeals with manwavable objection. It explains all problems, brushes away all mysteries, unravels all circumstances. The Negro has always been subject to the form of the South. The South understood him in that relation as an obstreperous but usually amenable and harmless entity. Now they are beginning to understand the Negro's recent transformation into a ruthless madman, and they possessed of the black and the white possibilities of "the black" Well informed men are no longer in any doubt as to the origin or the agency of the dreadful social conditions by which they are now confronted. They do not, however, concede the Negro as the responsible man, but takeably revealed to them, and they realize it in all its hideous proportions. DR. WASHINGTON TO SPEAK. Will Trill of Work at Twelvege to a Huntington Audience. HUNTINGTON, L. L., June 28. At the deliberation of Protestant ministers in this village, Dr. Bocker T. Washington has agreed to present his work at Tuskegee to the people of Huntington at a class meeting to be held in the opera house on Sunday evening, July 21. He will present the solution of the Race Problem." It is hoped to have the famous Hampton Quartette here for that evening. NEW HAVEN, June 24—Senator Philander C. Knox, of Pennsylvania, delivered the annual commencement address to the graduating class of the Yale law school this evening in Hendrie Hall before a big audience. Senator Knox spoke on "The Development of the Federal Power to Regulate Commerce." In the course of his address he had the following to say on the vital question of the powers delegated to the Federal Government and those reserved to the States, and the restricted power in the matter of legislation which Congress possesses; We cannot make progress in developing a body of substantive remedial law without an accurate appreciation of the results upon both the State and Federal powers. Like the Girondists in the French Revolution, American lawyers must submit to be condemned by the Bourbons as radical and for national or institutional legislation to new conditions, and to correct the evils in the old conditions, and to be guillotined by the rods as obstructionists if they fall to indulge the popular vagaries of the political movement of reform, unappreciative of its origin, its tendency and its purpose. Such is the fate of the profession that studies, loves and defends the institutions of government and believes their most powerful constructive and conserving force. The Constitution is not to perish at the hands of the impassioned phrase "the Constitution is the law and fortunes of our ancestors"; it is the law and fortunes of our will of the people; it has been preserved by the people through the most gigantic and tragic war of modern times, and it must educate as written and expounded by the people by the means they have prescribed. The power of the Federal Government cannot be increased except by new grants of power through amendment of the Constitution. The power of the Federal Government will progressively increase through the application of existing Federal power to the growing complexities of social and commercial conditions. What changes in these conditions may be in store for us no man can foretell. What social readjustments may follow the application of the Federal commercial power to such changes is likewise unknown. The Federal Government has a factor; no one has pretended to define the boundaries of the subject upon which it operates. The distinguished present Solicitor General of the United States, an attorney of the United States, an present argument in the Supreme Court aptly said: "The word commerce is not restricted to trade and traffic or navigation or transportation. No one can now commerce and interactions across State lines may not be embraced within its meaning." Human government is a human necessity. It is all the stronger and more powerful than commerce, for not having been experimented with and its fiber strained in times of tranquility. The way to make real progress in needful legislation and to permanently retain legitimate lines. This is a land of law as well as of liberty, and the liberty of the lawmaker is subject to restraints as well as the liberty of the individual. Consequently, the powers delegated to it by the legislative body should be done without neglect of duty. It is beside the question to urge the public and popularity of measures if Congress does not do so. Our heartiest sympathy may be enlisted in many movements and set our judgment may be compelled to reject the meaning of our congressional, another and imprimative mandate of President Roosevelt in his first message to Congress, that "The men who demand the impossible or the undesirable which they are nominally at war, for the hammer those who would endeavor to find out in rational fashion what the wrongly are and to what extent and in what way it is practicable to apply remedies." The last words of Washington and their first words of Lincoln contained a solemn admonition to us on the necessity of putting our own government intact. In his formal address to the American people Washington said: "If in the opinion of the people the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrupted by an amendment, let it be corrupted by a designation. But let there be no chance by insurrection; for though this in one instance may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed. The preemption in permanent evil any partial or benefit which the use can at any time yield." And in his first message to the American congress Lincoln said: "The Constitution is the right of the States to order and control under the Constitution their own affairs by their own judgment exclusively is essential for the preservation of that balance of power on which our institutions rest." And, finally, Chief Justice Marshall, in Gilberts and Orden, said in Constitution, said in Gilberts and Orden: "The genius and character of the whole Government seem to be that its action is to be applied to all the external concerns of the nation and to those internal concerns which affect the States generally, within a particular State which completely within a particular State which affect other States and with which it is not necessary to interfere for the purpose of executing some of the general powers of the Government." Ask Governor Hughes to Authorize a Begiment AMYNE, June 28, Captain A. J. Thompson of New York, who commanded an Ohio company in the Spanish American War in the defense of about fifty Negroes who switted upon Governor Hughes at the executive chamber this afternoon and asked him to approve a project for the organization of a National Guard. The application would provide for two battalions to be located in New York city and one battalion up the State. The Governor promised to give the matter consideration.

To the Editor OF THE NEW YORK AGE: I have just read the article of Mr Stephen Bonsal in *The North American Review* on "The Colored Soldiers in Peace and War." Mr. Bonsal is grossly inaccurate in many of his statements. For instance, he says that "with the possible exception of Gen. Chaffee most of the general officers have come from the colored regiments." As a matter of fact, General Chaffee served as a first and second lieutenant, captain and major in the 9th Cavalry, covering a period in the aggregate of nearly a century. Shortly before the ninth American War he was promoted to lieut-col, of the 2d Cavalry (white). He served little or no time with this regiment, however, as the demand for efficient general officers for the army of invasion caused him and his colonel (2d Cavalry), Gen. S. B. M. Young, to be promoted to brigadier generals, of volunteers. Both served in the Army commanded the at brigade of the Calvary Division, including with Rough Riders, and 10th Battalion, and fought the now famous engagement of June 24, 1883, where the 10th Cavalry mayed the day. At the end of the short Cuban campaign Young was invalidated home and Chaffee was promoted to Major-General of Volunteers and assigned as Chief of Staff to Major-General Brooks, commanding the Army of Pacific Command Cuba. While in this capacity Gen. Chaffee was promoted to the colonel of the 8th Yr. year 1900 and now rolled around, and with it the Boxer uprising in China. Gen. Chaffee was made a brigadier-general in the regular army, promoted to a major-generalship and to China in command of the American relief expedition to relieve Minister Conger and the American Legation. So it can be seen that Chaffee, nominally promoted to colonel of the 8th Savoye, came from the 8th Savoye army, which served a day actu- During the Spanish-American War and the Philippines insurrection it was customary to detach regular army officers from their commands and assign them to volunteer organizations, the policy giving the latter the benefit of regular army methods and discipline. For instance: Lieut. Colonel Chaffee, 3rd Cavalry; was appointed Brigadier-General of Volunteers; Capt. Rock, 10th Cavalry; Colonel of the 9th Volunteer Infantry (Capt. R. G. Woods' Colonel); Capt. Duval, 1st Artillery; Colonel of 48th Volunteer Infantry Cavalry; Captain Cronin, 25th Infantry; Colonel of 3d Infantry (white). Upon the muster out of these regiments the officers returned to their normal stations. I am quoting from memory, but the official records will corroborate me.

From The New York Sun. LONDON, June 26. Rev. Dr. Hurrellzell Methodist Episcopal Bishop of Africa, the most indefatigable American missionary in the Durk Continent, has just taken up a further responsibility of far-reaching importance. He is in London, having just completed his annual circuit of Africa. He stopped en route to England to address the Sunday School Congress in Rome, at which 500 of the 1,000 delegates were Americans. He told the congress he intended to establish a mission to the Mohammedans of North Africa. The congress indorsed the project enthusiastically and $30,000 was immediately subscribed toward it. The Bishop gladly undertook to manage the mission, under control of the board of the American Methodist Episcopal Church, to money subscribed has been placed at his expense, he says, will be subscribed in America. This will be the first American mission of the kind in North Africa. The location of headquarters and other details will be arranged as specially as possible Rishop Hartzell says the outlook for missionary work in Africa never was so encouraging in all its phases. He speaks hopefully of the rapid development of the Transvaal and the increase in American trade. He thinks the new transvaal is good but risky. National Association of Phylacticians.

From The New York Evening Post. Those who believe that even the mosterving of mortals has in him the possibilities of regeneration, will rejoice in this morning's dispatch to The Tribune announcing Gov. Vardaman's conversion to religion. An evangelist named Cate it appears, wrought this miracle. He made a "powerful plea to those who saw the wickedness of their ways to come in," the Governor name and in a "clear, distinct and penetent" surrender all to the cause of Christ." We tender our hearty congratulations to Mr. Cate, and beg that from Mississippi he will move to South Carolina and try his eloquence on Senator "Bon" Tillman. Before he leaves, however, we trust that Mr. Cate will aid Gov. Vardaman in choosing some texts for his home, some signboards for his new path in life, to remind him how completely he has turned his back on his Negro-hating past. We thank him for his generosity, the thy neighbor as selfish": "Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shall perform unto the Lord thine oaths": "Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou cannot make one hair white or black." When his fellow-agitators come to call upon him, Vardaman can now turn upon them and say: "Depart from me, ye that work iniquity." Remembering the violence of his past denunciations of a grievously burdened race, he may now exclaim: "that which entreats into mouth deftly the man; but that people ceed out of the mouth, this deftly the man." And when Vardaman henceforth goes out to beg votes of his white neighbors, shall he not say to them: "Are you not as the children of the Ethiopians unto me?" HONOR FOR PROF. POPE. His Splendid Work as an Educator Appreciated. At this time many Afro-Americans are continually whining about the "low position" which we are placed in among the races which go to make up the population of these United States. While many in justices are indeed heaped upon us, and while to a certain extent such conditions should be aired before the public, yet, in the humble opinion of the writer, such a state of affairs can well be less commented upon now, and the rise and progress which we are steadily making, all statements to the contrary notwithstanding should at every possible opportunity be thrown our broadcast to the entire country. It is because of these facts that I wish to say through your valuable and influential columns that a distinction of one of our most efficient and paid educators, namely, Prof. John Hopta president of Atlanta Baptist College, Atlanta, Ga., Mr. Hope is a graduate of Brown University, having completed his course in that institution in the class of 94, receiving the degree of A. B. At this year's commencement exercises, held in the First Baptist Meeting House, on Wednesday, June 19, ten honorary degrees were conferred. Mr. Hope being one of the number. Aside from and in addition to the honor of receiving the degree of Master of Arts, a still greater distinction was made because of the fact that rare, indeed, has it been within, the history of Brown University that an honorary degree has been conferred upon a graduate for meritorious work in so short time. Mr. Hope graduated just thirteen years ago. Hence the additional honor which can be honed for the grand efforts which, to use the words of President Faunce, he is making with patience, capacity and zeal in helping in the slow solution of one of the great problems of our time. Mr. Hope has been connected with Atlanta Baptist College during the past nine years, having first served as instructor in Greek and Latin literature, and then became principal of the library department, when, last year, up$n the resignation of Rev. George Sale, Prof. Hope succeeded to the presidency. May he live in the city of Atlanta, where he is in the great educational field in which he has already made such splendid success.

Two Society 'Grade Web' The Booster at the University of Pennsylvania. PHILADELPHIA, July 1.—Rev. Carter Williams, an Afro-American preacher of Willow Grove, a fashionable resort on the murbura, has a strong right arm which he used Saturday on three white men who perished in bathing in muddy in front of his house. He also gave the men a ducking that they will not forget for many days. When his wife told him that the men had neglected to bring bathing in muddy water for the pond battles and with his right arm swinging like a woodman's axe, he was only exercising his musculus before materialising a scence. "Get out of there!" shouted Williams when he reached the bank of the pool. "Gwain," replied one of the men as the two clam-bared out on the opposite bank and indulged in the pastime of throwing sticks and stones to preacher. One of the men trickled Williams in the flow and made the blood flow. Then real trouble began. Williams plunged in the pond and waded across to where the two men were and brought his right arm into play. His left also did good work. There were several cries of "ouch" as the preacher's flats descended upon the heads and faces of the two bathers. They could not run away, because the teacher stalked between them and cried to punish a finishing touch to his task as chastener. With a quick movement he threw each man into the pond for a final ducking. The June grand jury in its final presentation to Judge Kiney Saturday took a fling at both the undesirable immigrants and the Afro-American race. The presentation concluded as follows: In close proximity to the African-American side of the attention of this honorable court to the large proportion of cases presented to us for action wherein the offenses charged were committed by either persons of foreign birth or those of the colored race and we feel that some measures should be taken to prevent any would be killed of the burden both the undesirable alien and the irresponsible colored person." Walker Bassi Webb, who has an acquaintance with every politician of note in Pennsylvania, as well as with most of the city's prominent business men, financiers and professional men, joined the ranks of the beneficents on Saturday. He took as his bride Miss Campton, one of the prestige and brightest of Afro-American good teachers in this city. In public life Mr. Webb is a messenger mood, having lately received from the council's finance committee that his salary was increased. For a week at Webb has been furnishing his new home which he purchased for his bride and himself on Mervine street, making it one of the prettiest streets in the city. They were married Saturday by the Rev. William A. Creditt, D. D. pastor of the First African Baptist Church Sixteenth and Christian streets. Mr. Webb was also messenger to David Martin during his term as secretary of the State of Pennsylvania; he was also messenger to former Mayors Ashbridge and Weaver. Miss Campton is a graduate of the Girl's Formula 1802. She is a teacher in the Wilmert School for Afro-American Children in Brookfield. The marriage of Mr. Frederick Lee and Miss Dora Louise Needham was consumed Saturday evening at 6 o'clock at the St. Thomas P. E. church. Father Frederick officiating. Denise the heavy downpour of rain the church was crowded to suffocation. It was one of the fashionable events of the season. Immediately after the reception they left on a 10 day wedding tour. They will run side in Buffalo, N. Y. Mr. Lee is in one of the larger new developments in his home city. Mr. Needham was a kindergarten teacher and private secretary to her father, Mr. James Needham, who is laud secretary of the C. I. Albert Tasker, better known as "the doctor," the Afro-American boothblock of the University of Pennsylvania Houston Club, has gradually won his way into the hearts of students and professors alike. He now occupies that unique position in veneration and respect left vacant three years ago by the death of Albert Wilson, for fifty years known at the University. "Poney," the oldest graduate can remember the university has been faithful Afro-American servant of this sort. In the year of 1820 there came to the university an Afro-American by the name of Caesar. He had no other name and only this name survives for the position of janitor. He was accepted and won his way into the hearts of everybody and for thirty years faithfully performed his duties, when he died. After his death Albert Wilson was first in the old building in Sixth Street, now in place of 14 years, as assistant janitor. A few years after he was promoted to head janitor. He was nicknamed "Pompey" by the students as being the successor of "Caesar," but time flew by this was shortened to "Pomp." He was very intelligent, being well read, and had a very retentive memory. The professor of chemistry, seeing his worth, employed him to help him in performing his experiments, present local and served faithful for fifty years. When he died a memorial tablet was erected to his memory in old College Hall and professors and his funeral services were held in College Chapel and were attended by the faculty and students. A number of years after the university had moved some of the directors of it with secure the old corner stone of West Philadelphia, but the buildings had been razed and removed, so they gave up the idea of getting it. Wilson, accidentally hearing of their desires, went to them and told them he had gotten it and saved it and would go to his room and get it, which he did. It now occupies place in the library. A few months after Wilson's death Albert Tasker came to the club. He immediately became an immense favorite not only for his faculty, because of his unfailing good humor and ready with many freshmen, intent in working an impression, who have tried to poke fun at him, have been completely routed by his repartee, to the intense amusement of the seniors. Whenever Tasker gets a little short in funds he discovers it is Christmas time, or. Easter, or the summer holiday season, and blooms out into verse, soliciting subscriptions. If no holiday season should be any answer Tasker were able to can always have a birthday. Last week the following appeared in a conspicuous place neatly printed in red and blue letters. The summer, it looks black to me. The summer, it looks brown to me. But it's up to you if I'm black and blue. And can't connect with a hummer: So if you're at a jolly dance Of a merry masquerade. You're better at the thought That you're given a Tasker aid. All efforts to discover the "doctor's" residence merely illicit the response: "I live down by the river; drop in some time." Sophomore cremations. May day sports, senior day or any such undergraduate activities are incomplete with the knowledge of the location of the crematorium about to be burned at the cremation this spring still留在 in the arms of those who were present.

JAPANESE KICKING Kuroki's Return the Orcadian of New Complaints in Toki Press From The New York Sun, TOKU, June 29 - The Ishii Shishun, congratulating General Kuroki on his successful trip and safe return, renews the discussion of the San Francisco question by asking the Americans in the name of civilization, humanity, justice and friendship, why, while giving such royal treatment to General Kuroki, they do not extend the same warmth of feeling to the compatriots of the brave soldiers who made Kuroki. It says that while the reason for the antipathy to Japanese immigrants is not clear, it is unobvious that American immigrants, trained, strained, Japanese interests, the paper declares, were sacrificed to the poverty of a treaty right when the school trouble was settled by imposing greater restrictions upon immigrants from this country to Hawaii. Count Okunid's demand that the Japanese shall be accorded the same treatment as that given to people of other nations cannot be satisfied, says The Jasai, until a radical revision of the standing treaty is effected or the time of the general revision of treaties in India I consider saying in the trippled organization of the standing treaty, combined with the hindrances caused by a single State, will result in narrowing the field for free trade communications between the nations.

Makes hair grow long, straight soft, and silky; cures dandruff and stops falling hair. Kink-ine acts like magic on the hair. Kink-ine Is No Experiment. It was discovered by R. Roberts, a famous English chemist, who has made a study of the scalp of colored people for the past 30 years, and who, after much time and experience, has prepared this great treat 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 labering and testing these many years he has discovered the greatest REMEDY the WORLD has ever known for the HAIR of colored people. KINK-INE will make the hair GROW from one to three inches per month, if the directions and instructions are carefully followed out. We have many cases on record where the above results have been obtained, and we do not hesitate when we make these claims. KINK-INE is the only safe preparation in the world that is guaranteed to make the hair straight and make dry hair smooth and stop it from breaking off and falling out; takes out all the kinks and knots, cures dandruff, makes the hair soft and silky, and by nourishing the roots gives it new life and vigor, restoring it to natural color. READ what Miss Elizabeth Jones of Chicago says of KINK-INE: "My hair was not more than three inches long when I commenced to use Kink-ine six months ago. I have used it steadily since that date and it has grown on an average of two inches each month and it is now more than fifteen inches long. Besides, my hair has become almost straight and I fully believe by the end of the year I will have the most beautiful head of hair of any colored lady in the world." SPECIAL OFFER—To prove the quality and superiority of our goods over all others, we will sell one full size bottle of Kink-ine, price 35 cents, and give you free one use of Soap, price 35 cents, with each bottle of Kink-ine, you buy at the following drug stores only. Cut this offer out and take it to any of three stores and they will gladly give you both Towe and Soap for only 35 cents. S. ROSENSTOCK, 7th AVENUE AND 41st STREET W. B.

To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE I cannot resist the temptation to thank you for your editorial and the reproduction of that address of Henry Watterson. I had put it aside, greatly attracted by it. It appeared the next morning in The Post—not so much of it, however, as a good read. I read it myself and fearing its effect on me, I got my daughter to read it. I am still of the opinion that it is a great effort and that we are greatly indebted to you for the chance to know it. I have told you before, and I tell you again. I have for years marked T. Thomas as my favorite Henry Watterson as two great editions of it, and delighted I am that you can say of him what you can in that editorial. No joy came to my soul when the old firm name "Fortune & Peterson" came down. And no man is more anxiously waiting to hear what he has to say as T. Thomas Fortune. Hardly a week passes but some fellow readers, Chris H. Stuart Washington, June 30.

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 1.—Guagged by his talents, genius for work, his marvelous grasp of some of the most intricate public questions, as well as by his influence in the United States Senate, John Tyler Morgan, the late Senator from Alabama, was one of the great men in American politics. His versatility was matched only by his industry which, according to his viewpoint, gave him the mastery of every question he studied for the purpose of information or discussion. That he was on the wrong side of many of the great questions of his day is not so much an impeachment of his convictions and sincerity as the result of what in these days is called a lie and endangerment. The average politician is but slightly the ethics of the positions, he takes on public questions, and even men who by virtue of their great genius and services have contributed to constituencies whom pride and tradition impel them to protect. Mr. Morgan became actively engaged in politics at the most memorable period in the political history of the United States when he was elected to the Senate and voted for Breckinridge and Lane. From then until his late demise at the age of 83, he took part in the struggles and contests which have marked the course of his career with so much heat, bitterness and partisan fanaticism, yet there are notable instances when he ignored party lines entirely and voted against his colleagues. He cared that his death came at the close of what may be regarded as the second, though brief era, of good feeling in our National politics. The fact that among Senators appointed to the Senate, for instance, Foraker, Cullom and Frey, men who have strenuously and without let-up opposed his policies and attacked his doctrines, must not be set down as perfunctory ceremony, for they were not on the steel and for that they respected him on many great issues, not sectional, it is true, but involving the well-being and honor of the Nation, he har boldly put his concessions against him, and for that they honored him. Mr. Morgan was the most eminent Senator from the South since the Civil War and was in many respects the type, he be was in reality the discipline he was known for, not "obeying inheritance, but by having become a purchaser of slaves out of the earnings of my early manhood," he was thoroughly inoculated with the hardships and hardships he applied his ideas. His was causes soojiquitque quo jaws especially patriarchal, and from that viewpoint his assertion a few years ago, that he had a strong affection and attachment for the Negro race than any man in the United States who has been actuated by mere continentalism in changing and bettering the condition of their expression of his own belief. The idea that the subject and repression of millions of men by a few or even one man is the mark of the continentalism in the world's politics, and it is not unnatural that the exploitation of Negro labor under slavery should still be misunderstood or exterminated. Certain is his belief that the exploitation of Negro biolabia that has swept over the South at the hands of men who were not able to purchase slaves "out of the earnings of their early manhood" did not receive the necessary education. Mr. Morgan is nature conservative, having no patience with extremes or shortcuts, whether they related to the Southern problem or the digging of an inter-oceanic canal in the South or the exploitation of the "Negro domination" issue in a way that gave the impression that he might be willing to go the whole length in order to maintain his hold on the office in the South ofdependently largely upon one's ability to conjure with the race question. Politicians rise or fall according to their dexterity in handling the burdens of any situation. If indeed he thinks about anything, Mr. Morgan did not believe in Negro suffrage, and his opposition to it made it possible for him to raise the "issue" at least every six years. In 1800 he threatened to talk the Lodge bill to death, a fear of being punished for he had the ability to talk for days without tiring. He talked for several days against the Lodge bill, when Quay and Gorman, by arranging for the defeat of the measure, relieved him of the execution of his threat. Morgan will be remembered for his unborn conquest of the southern frontier of Quay and Gorman for their stultifying and shameless trickery and intrigue. Nenator Morgan was one of the leading advocates of the propaganda of the *repatriation of the African race in Africa*, and the *contribution of men to hide the *enforcement of the Afro-American more than in any other way.* He was doubtless, sincere in his preaching. Many pernicious doctrines have been preached in the compartment of *today* and *history* in the United States, the doctrine of an *alien race* is vicious, whether it is preached within the territorial limits of the original colonies or at the Golden Gate, or within the modern government. There is not the slightest doubt but that Africa is a land of unlimited opportunity for enterprising venturesmen and capable American men. This has proved to be for men and women of Saxon, German and Gallic descent. Some have found it so, and in the future many will try their fortunes there. The sooner they can be to their Fatherland. In this year of our Lord, when the Jamestown Exposition is celebrating the conquest of a new continent by the toil and sweat of men contributed to this mighty achievement are "alien" is supremely ludicrous. Senator Morgan gave definitive shape to this idea some years ago, by introducing a bill in the Senate which provided the senator with a seat in the American Congress. About the same time Carlyle McKinlay's "Appeal to Pharaoh" appeared anonymously and so faithfully did it express the idea of Senator Morgan a senator of the United States, the book, and that he had so timed it as to gain converts for his measure. Certainly it is an interesting book and was widely read, as are also Senator Morgan's own works. Senator Morgan with the American colonization society, an organization founded upon the mixed motives of philanthropy and fear. At the seventy-eighth anniversary of this society, held in this city, January 15, 1895, Senator Morgan upon the subject: "African's Opposite routines for American Commissaries and the American Negroes." Very little, of course, was said about the opportunities for American self-immigration to a discussion of the second phase of the copy and to the speaker's views. The address was indeed notothy and remarkable. Mr. Speaker stored a store of knowledge about the climate, topography, products, industries and people of Africa. To one who heard the address it would seem that the speaker was aware of the subject which he discussed with so much coke and with such choice language. "That country," he said, in rich in gold, in copper, and remarkably rich iron, where the tracks of wheels poke, over those iron beds they become polished and you can see the reflection of the sun upon the native iron. He then laughed and then Afro-Americans in Africa in this wier: "Think of what could be done by the enlightened men and women that we have here—workers in all kinds of industry (including prescription), that country and go to work, with all these resources, with the employed labor of their own people, mingling with their legitimate powers in their own country, of which they are food and ought to be. We can measure the ability of the Negro to rise in that country?" He then proceeded to paint a dark picture of the country and the United States which though there are times and seasons that seem to supply the coloring and to jostle an even darker tone, is an exaggeration of the true state of facts, owing to the real condition and actual life of those concerning whom there is so much superficial and long-distanced theorizing. Nevertheless, his words were weighty and insistent, struck him like a joke, filled freedom and Christianity of the Republic: "The heavens are as brass above him in this country. It makes no difference what his personal traits may be, what his accomplishments may be, what his heroism may be, what his eloquence may be, for many in the country may be retired or cultivated he may be, for many of them are cultivated and some are retired, he can accomplish nothing here. I might as well try to throw my pocket handkerchief through the roof of this church (die) as for a Negro, no matter how accomplished he may be, to come to know him and my prayers and to social privileges or freely to prosper in your midst." Surely this is a confession and an indictment, not avoidance, of the vilification to which the Afro-American has been subjected in the United States, the American Christianity. The insinuation of the last statement cannot offset the frank adduction of the absence of fair play. On the occasion, as at other times, the English language has the penalty of manifest and unrestricted prejudice and hostility by gratuitous interpretation of the "Divine hand," or the decrees of the Almighty. Much Anglo-American practice has convenient justification in a supposed divine dispensation. It is characteristic of the English race to complaintably take shelter under the bastitude. "Bless are we the meek; for they shall inherit the earth." Senator Morgan stood for the old South and was the last of an offer baronage. Like his predecessors, who were distinguished for great endowments of mind and wisdom, he paved his way and limited his usefulness by resisting the march of events. What will the new men of the New South accomplish? J. L. LOVE. BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS AND B. V. P. W. MEET Second Annual Session Opened in New Orleans—Many Delegates NEW OREAS LA. June 27.—The second annual session of the National Bank of Sunday School Congress and R. Y. P. F. Chautauqua opens here today. The advanced guard of the Segre Baptist Sunday school and Young People's Group are held on Friday, in a party Wednesday morning and continued to come in from all trains during the day and night. Up to 11 o'clock last night fully 25 States were represented. The larger portion of the delegates however, is from the Southern States. The purpose of the meeting is for the stimulating of the Sunday school work of the session upon does not open until 10 o'clock today at 3rd. First. Aftean Baptist church on Third, between Franklin and Liberty streets, an internal session was held yesterday afternoon from 2 to 3. This meeting was opened by Rev. C. H. Clark. D. D. of Nashville Tenn., assisted by Rev. G. B. Taylor and J. L. Hartling the bi-public��-dotted "The Work of the Home Mission Board." The discussion was led by Drs. R. H. Boyd and F. W. D. Isanot of Nashville Tenn. The missionary seamen was preached last night by Rev. J. F. Miller of Birmingham. Also. One of the interesting features of this meeting was the longing the school which today has Prof. Thomas and George. There were 25 well-trained voices singing songs composed and written by two eminent negro song writers. Many prominent church workers are seen in the delegation, Rev. E. D. Hubbard, T. G. Lopez, A. B. Horton, F. Jones and Frank Reed, all of Mississippi while Rev. E. H. Branch, D. D. H. W. Lockett and Rev. E. M. Griggs are here from Texas, Alabama, as well as far, J. W. T. Cunningham and T. A. Ray. Rev. S. M. Fisher, Rev. J. E. Miller and others. But possibly the best known of those Sunday school workers, the man that has made possible the great work that is being accomplished by the Negro Paptists in their effort to publish Sunday school literature, is Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D. L. L. D. who is here from Nashville, Tenn. and who is the founder of the largest Negro printing establishment in the United States. Coming from Nashville with Dr. Boyd is Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D. Chairman of the publishing board; Rev. W. S. Ellington, editorial secretary; Rev. J. L. Harding and G. R. Taylor, members of the board, with Rev. H. A. Boyd, who is assistant secretary. The topics to be discussed during the Sunday school congress will be those pertaining to the Sunday and Young People's work. Many able papers have been prepared and will be delivered before this body. The reception committee has prepared for 1,000 visitors and it does not look as crowded as the two Nero Baptist conventions which were in session yesterday at Baton Rouge, La., for the purpose of harmonizing the entire delegation to join the Sunday school movement here. Most of the city ministers have been in Baton Rouge on escort to the visiting delegations coming to New Orleans. Captain Thompson Wants to Raise a Regiment. ALBANY, June 28—Capt. A. J. Thompson of New York, who commanded an Ohio company in the Spanish-American war, headed a delegation of about fifty Afro-Americans who waited upon Gov. Hughes at the executive chamber this afternoon to attend a meeting for the organization of a regiment in the National Guard. The application would provide for two battalions to be located in New York City and one battalion to the State. The governor promising to give the matter consideration. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, JULY. 4, 1907 In a Chicago University Gets a Knockout NEW MUNICIPAL COURT Afro-American Trial Clerk and Court Balliff Appointed.—St. Thomas, Church Dedicated. Chicago, July 1—The "color line" monometer broke out in another one of the big universities of this city the other day. This time Chicago University was the scene of the trouble. All these color line troubles are about the same in character. Though they are so very frequent we nevertheless feel a new kind of activism generated sensitivity whenever they occur. Some of the Texas, Alabama and Georgia students looked around the crowded tables in the university dining hall and noticed two or three dark-faced, young men and women doing nothing more of the work than pay for. Straightway they were overwhelmed by an irritating sense of ap proaching social equality. That these colored young people were good students and that they, too, had come from distant parts of the country for study and culture, and that they had paid exactly the same amount of money for all the privileges that the university affords for students and that they, too, had come from distant students, who demanded their expulsion. They threatened not only to eat with in a half mile of the colored students, but further threatened to leave the unit, but the university authorized for them less the expulsion of the blacks was immediately and summarily made. Never was human indignation made so lofty, imperious and uncompromising. But what authority authorized simply so compulsively. They calmly declared that the colored young men and women were students of the university and as such were entitled to the same privileges in the class rooms and in the dining hall. This is an exasperatingly calm way to settle a race war on the campus of a great university. But settled it was. There was no special session of the university Senate to discuss the pros and cons of justice, right and decency. The race-hating centre is somewhat dumbfounded by this easy way of getting rid of "grave question." They cannot understand why so many things as justice and equality are settled in the same way which is involved the very "supremacy of the white race." It is a good thing to have these young stars from the host and worst families of the south to occasionally get a shock to their top-loft notions about black people. This petty provincialism of the South never seems so mean and littler. It comes in touch with things and institutions that are big with human interests. Dr. Kenny, the resident physician of Tuskegee, is in Chicago for a few week-taking a special post-graduate course in one of the big medical universities. Dr. Kenny is one of the most progressive, young physicians in the South. While in the city he is receiving much social attention. The new municipal courts of this city have created a great number of new positions with good salaries for them. The city has black and yellow has not been numerously called upon for his assistance in making this new institution a pronounced success. Nevertheless what we have missed in numbers is partially made up in quality. Mr. A. H. Roberta, a clien in obsequio of the new courts and a few days ago Commissioner Dr. Priest, succeeded in forcing on the unwilling dispensers of saturnone another young colored man as court bailiff. When the powers that he had were removed, the commissioner with a messengerhip he bluntly replied: "A writ-serving bailiff or nothing." He got what he demanded. The colored people of Chicago are not only insisting upon better homes to live in, but also better churches to worship in. St. Thomas' Episcopal church in St. Thomas, a new office on Walsh avenue. Under the aggressive leadership of Father Mussiah the church is preserving in growth of membership and other things. Bethesda Hunt church one of the churches of the city, Walsh churches in church also on Walsh avenue. There are about ten modern churches owned by Afro-Americans of this city, costing all the way from $7,000 to $50,000 each. Salvation might not cost quite so much, but if it were rather easy it is more than worth the money. FANNIE BARRIER WILLIAMS. DEATH OF CAPTAIN GRIFFIN.

PRATERNAL NEWS-OF THE ELKS OF THE CITY AND STATE Special and Interpreting News of Elk- dom—Rooster of Leagues. It is an encouraging observation that no good measures ever proposed, if duly pursued, failed to prevail in the out. Elkdom is making rapid strides not only in the Empire State but throughout the whole country. We believe that our weekly letters in THE ACE are of untold value to the clan, and it was our pleasure to observe the interest and praise given THE ACE at the last meeting of Manhattan Lodge, No. 45. June 27, Manhattan Lodge, No. 45 held their second monthly meeting, a number of visitors being present, among whom were: Brother J. A. Lance, Elite Lodge, No. 119, Buffalo; Brother Thos W. Lainn and J. A. Fountain, Eureka Lodge, No. 114, New Providence, Nassau, N. P.; Brother C. H. Nichols, Jr. and S. Tiberville of Dunbar Lodge, No. 108, Astoria, L. L; and Brother Louis Jones, Gopher Lodge, No. 105, St. Paul, Minn. But on account of not being in possession of the quarterly pass word, Brother Jones was not admitted to the sessions, sick committee, Brother Harris, but is still in under the bad condition; his arm has begun to rejoin. Brother R. N. Stout, 225 West 40th Street, Robinson, 295 West 134th street. Five new candidates were to have been initiated, but only Mr. W. H. Wiggins presented himself for that pleasure, he says he will not be called. Brother R. N. Stout, 225 West 40th Street, Robinson, E. R. James S. Williams, P. E. R. and George Meturchin reported a special club of forty four gentlemen who desired to join Manhattan Lodge, No. 114, St. Paul, James Jones granted a special dispensation to make the club, and the lodge voted to hold the club open for sixty days from late at the usual club rate. Brother Meturchin was duly affiliated. Manhattan Lodge, No. 45, is to have a pleasant surprise at an early date in the nature of a new banner which will be presented to them by the woes, daughters of the late Mrs. James H. Anderson, wife of the Exalted Ruler of No. 45, is the prime move in this enterprise. This banner will be presented to the lodge just before the delicate ceremony of the banner will be made especially for the Elks' parade. The crowning event of the season will be the fourth afternoon and evening picnic of Brooklyn Lodge, No. 32, July 16, 1985. The child and the priest child will receive a handsome prize, "chairman Charles S. Warfield, Jr. of the athletic sports, says that the present will be sufficient for the parents talking about it for a long time and the afternoon and evening is anticipated. Deputy Jones will institute the White Plains Club into a lodge in three weeks' time." The board is the moving figure in this new kind of prospective Elkdom in White Plains. A club was formed at a meeting held in the West End Academy, June 23, 1982, to establish a lodge of Elks in New Bedford, Mass. The meeting was addressed by Brother William H. Brown, a prominent member of Brooklyn Lodge, No. 32, the lodge of the same name and timely instructions to be proceed in forming the new lodge. Deputy Black of Cambridge, has approved this movement and Brother Brown is in co-operation with the State Deputy Commission of the office elected; A. D. Pipen, president; Richard H. Cook, secretary; and John H. P Warhold, treasurer. Another meeting of the lodge will be underway in about three weeks. Success, boost! Go the limit!

A hint to the wise is sufficient. Those attempting to organize a bonus lodge in Ashbury Park, N. J., should deal with under the laws of New Jersey. July 1, 1907. W. PRESTON MORE. WILL THE RACE BOLT A Correspondent Who Reasons It Out That It Might. To the Editor of The New York Age: In the best issue of your paper you say, at the end of an editorial entitled "Political Truths," that "the Afro-Americans of Ohio and all over will vote for the candidates and policies of the Republican party." If this is true you will never succeed in making the great race newspaper which the race needs and to which you have said your future efforts will be directed. If there is one thing the average Afro-American has had sourced into him in the last two or three years, it is that the present National administration have inflamed race prejudice and everywhere arsoned the enemies of the black man to renewed and greater efforts to humiliate him. If then, Republican National candidates record with this policy are selected, and, as you say, the Afro-Americans of Ohio and all over vote for them, then your efforts to build for them a great newspaper will increase such race of imbeciles and cravots will ever support any great race enterprise. And if, as I am sure, and as the Baltimore election, the Kentucky convention and other struts seem to forehead, name brand as any other and is equally when fully aroused to resent at the ballot box wrong and injustice, your efforts for the establishment of a great news story will equally equity abortive. For if you believe that, commit The Age to such a policy, colored men will be allow to lend their efforts to make an enterprise great which is faithful to one who has lost faith in intelligence and manhood and who fails them at a great crisis of their history.

C., July 1.—Guaged by his talent genius for work, his marvelous grasp of some of the most intricate public questions, as well as by his influence in the United States Senate, John Tyler, Morgan, the late Senator from Alabama, was one of the great men in American politics. His versatility was matched only by his industry which, according to his viewpoint, gave him the mastery of every question he studied for the purpose of information or discussion. That he was on the wrong side of many, of the great questions of his day is not so much an impenetrance of his convictions and sincerity as the result of what in these days is called hereditary and political. The politician positions but alightly the ethics of the positions he takes on public questions, and even men who by virtue of their great genius and services rank as statement often go to public constituencies whom pride and tradition impel them to try to protect. Mr. Morgan became actively engaged in politics at the most memorable period in the political history of the United States, when he was 18 to 1964. Presidential election and voted for Brecknell and Lane. From then until his late demise at the age of 83, he took part in the struggles and contests which have made him a prominent figure, which have been attended with so much heat, bitterness and partisan fanaticism, yet there are notable instances when he ignored party lines entirely and voted against him. It noteworthy that his death came at the close of what may be regarded as the second, though brief era, of good feeling in our National politics. The fact that among Senators appointed to the Senate, he was not appointed to the Allison, Korinek, Cullom, Frey, who have strenuously and without let-up opposed his policies and attacked his doctrines, must not be set down as perfunctory. He was not worthy of their steel and for that they respected him on many great issues, not sectional, it is true, but involving the well-being and honor of the Nation. He also put his conviction into popular clamor, and for that they honored him. Mr. Morgan was the most eminent Senator from the South since the Civil War and was in many respects the type of war he was really the only one said. "Not by his inheritance, but by having become a purchaser of slaves out of the earnings of my early manhood." It was thoroughly speculated that he was the first "socialized stoutly upheld its ideals." His son was of a morning age in the early especially patriarchal, and from that viewpoint his assertion is made to the bidding interest in the same man and the same afield. The same affection and attachment for the Negro race than any man in the United States who has been actuated by mere sentimentallism in changing and yet never being a condition of life, he taken an sincere expression of his own belief. The idea that the subjection and repression of millions of men by a few or even one man is the mostlboreous, the benevolent rules of the man being obsolete to the world's politics, and it is not unnatural that the exploitation of Negro labor under stavery should still be misunderstood or extenuated. Certainly, the first of the first spirit of the rampant diabolism that has swept over the South at the hands of men who were not able to purchase slaves "out of the earnings of their early manhood" but not to the end of their even-life. Mr. Morgan. He was by nature conservative, having no patience with extremes or short-cuts, whether they related to the Southern problem or the digging of an interracial and unfeasible heart. He had a lot to do with his homeland issue in a way that gave the impression that he might be willing to go the whole length in order to maintain his life on the left side. He is not a man but a man, dependent, or office of the South in dependent larcely upon one's ability to acquire with the race question. Politicians rise or fall according to their dexterity in handling the openness of the subject. The point of thinking of anything else, if indeed he thinks about anything. Mr. Morgan did not believe in Negro suffrage, and his opposition to it made him a strong supporter of the least every six years. In 1880 he threatened to talk the Lodge bill to death, a feat of which he was thoroughly capable, and he was unable to resist without tiring. He talked for several days against the Lodge bill, when Quay and Gorman, by arranging for the defeat of his threat, cured of his threat. Morgan will be remembered for his stubborn consistency in opposing political freedom. Quay and Gorman were a strong supporter and shame-makers and intrigue. "Nenator Morgan was one of the leading advocates of the propaganda of the "repatriation of the African race in Africa, and the advance of the Afro-American more than in any other way. He was, doubleless, sincere in his preaching. Many pernicious doctrines have been so preached. In the cosmopolitan and internationally in the United States, the doctrine of an "alien race" is violent, whether it is preached within the territorial limits of the original colonies or at the Golden Gate. Rare is the government. There is not the slightest doubt but that Africa is a land of unlimited opportunity for enterprising, venturesome and capable American men. This has proved to be for men and women of Saxon, German and Gallic descent. Some have found it so, and in the future many will try their fortunes there. The sooner they can be to their Fatherland. In this year of our Lord, when the Jamestown Exposition is celebrating the conquest of a new continent by the toil and sweat of men, the progress of the African contribution to this mighty achievement are "alien" is supremely ludicrous. Senator Morgan gave definitive shape to this idea some years ago, by introducing a bill in the Senate which provided for the repatriation of Africa by Afro-Americans. McKinlay's "Appeal to Pharaoh" appeared anonymously and so faithfully did it express the ideas of Senator Morgan that many believed he was the author of the book, and that he had so timed it an act of generosity. It is certainly it in an interesting book and was widely read, as are also Senator Morgan's views. He was identified by membership with the American colonization society, an organization founded upon the mixed motives of philanthropy and fear. At the time he held in this city, January 15, 1866, Senator Morgan delivered the principal address upon the subject: "Africa's Oppor- tribute for American Continuum and the American Negro. "Very little of course, was sold about the appropriation for the American Negro, but much should be easily to a discussion of the second phase of the topic and to the speaker's views. The additions was indeed noteworthy and remarkable. Mr. Browne wrote of knowledge about the climate, topography, products, industries and people of Africa. To one who heard the address it would mean that the speaker was aware of the subject which he discussed with no much one and with such choice language. "That country" he said, in rich in gold, in copper, and remarkably rich in ivory, in the tracts of wheels paved over those iron beds they become palled and you can see the reflection of the sun upon the native iron. He then hewed a log of the wood for African Americans in Africa in this war: "Think of what could be done, by the enlightened men and women that we have here—workers on all kinds of industries—including construction, so that country and go to work, with all their resources, with the employed labor of their own people, mingling with them their legitimate powers, in their own affairs, in the affairs of which they are food and ought to be. We can measure the ability of the Negro to rise in that country." He then proceeded to paint a dark picture of the United States, which though there are times and seasons that seem to supply the coloring and to Jasture an even darker tone, is an exaggeration of the true state of fact, owing, as a result, to the real condition and actual life of those concerning whom there is no much superficial and long-distanced theorising. Nevertheless, his words were weighty and imprecise, and he false freedom and mock Christianity of the Republic: "The heavens are as brass above him in this country. It makes, no difference, what accomplishments may be, what his heroism may be, what his eloquence may be, for many of them are eloquent; no matter how many of them are cultivated and some are refined, he can accomplish nothing here. I might as well try to throw my this church (nic) as for a Negro, no matter how accomplished he may be, to come into your society and attempt to rise to degree or freely to prosper in your mids." Surely this is a confession and an indictment, not avoidance, of the vilification to which the Afro-American has been subjected in the United States and American Christianity. The invintination of the last statement cannot offer the trunk admission of the absence of fair play. On this occasion, as at other times, the English race has the penalty of manifest and unrightful prejudice and hostility by gratuitous interpretation of the "Divine hand," or the decrees of the Almighty. Much Anglo-American race has convenient justification in a supposed divine disperaion. It is characteristic of the English race to complainably take shelter under the hostitude. "Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth." Senator Morgan stood for the old South and was the last of an effect baronage. Like his predecessors, who were distinguished for great endowments of mind and possibility of mind, he was a man of great usefulness by resisting the march of events. What will the few men, of the New South accomplish? J. L. Love. BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS AND B. Y. P.W. MEET Second Annual Session Opened in New Orleans—Many Delegates.

Chicago, July 1—The "color line" meanness broke out in another one of the big universities of this city the other day. This time the Chicago University was the scene of the trouble. All these color line trouble are about the same in character. Though they are so very frequent we nevertheless feel a new kind of vibrated sensitiveness whenever they occur. It is a good thing to have these young stars from the best and worst families of the south to occasionally get a shock to their minds by occasionally getting plunged. This petty provincialism of the South never seems so mean and little as when it comes in touch with things and institutions that are big with human interest. Kenny, the resident physician of Tukergee, in Chicago for a few weeks taking a special post-graduate course in one of the big medical universities. Dr. Kenny is one of the most genial, as well as most intelligent physicians in the South. While in the city he is receiving much social attention. The new municipal courts of this city have created a great number of new civic positions. The brother in brown, black and yellow has not been numerously called upon for his assistance in making this new institution a pronounced success. The new civic positions, numbers is partially made up in quality. Mr. A. H. Roberts, a Cicero in eloquence, was given a position as trial clerk in one of the new courts and a few days new position on the jury. He was floating on the unwilling dispensers of tatronage another young colored man as court bailiff. When the powers that he attempted to satisfy the aggressive comrade he replied: "A writ-serving bailiff or notling." He got what he demanded. The colored people of Chicago are not only insisting upon better homes to live in, but also better churches to worship in. St. Thomas' Episcopal Church has re-established a Wabash avenue. Under the aggressive leadership of Father Massiah the church is prospering in growth of membership and other things. Bethesda Baptist church, one of the oldest of the city churches, has just purchased a fine church also on Wabash Avenue. The Thomas Church of Americas of this city, costing all the way from $1,000 to $20,000 each, Salvation might not cost quite so much, but if it can be gotten in no other way it is more than worth the money.

WILL THE RACE BOLT Correspondent Who Remains It Out That It Might. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE: In the last issue of your paper you say, at the end of an editorial entitled "Political Truths," that "the Afro-Americans of Ohio and all over will vote for the candidates and policies of the Republican party." If this is true you will never succeed in making the great race newspaper which the race needs and to which you have said your future efforts will be directed. If there is one thing the average Afro-American has had more than two or three years, it is that the act of voting the present National administration have inflamed race prejudice and everywhere aroused the enemies of the black man to renewed and greater efforts to humiliate, repress and suppress the Republican National candidates in full accord with this policy are selected, and, as you say, the Afro-Americans of Ohio and all over vote for them, then your efforts to build for them a great newspaper will succeed in much race of inebibles and cravens will ever support any great race enterprise. And if, as I am sure, and as the Baltimore election, the Kentucky convention and other straws seem to foreshadow, the campaign brand as any other and is equally name when fully aroused to resent at the ballot box wrong and injustice, your efforts for the establishment of a great newspaper prove equally abortive. For men believing that the committee commit Tue. Aug. to such a policy, colored men will be show to lend their efforts to make an enterprise great which is fathered by one who has lost faith in the Republican man and manhood and who fails them at a great crisis of their history.
