THE NEW YORK AGE. Victim of Separate Car Outrage—Courts of Virginia all at Sea in Pope Case—Ridiculous Decisions—Justice Burlesqued. WARNINGING. August 19.—Opposition to the separate car system expressed itself within the court, earned at a very held in the Rhiloh Baptist church, in this city, on Monday evening, August 12. The meeting was called for the object of promoting a test case now pending in the Court of Appeals. District of Columbia suit for occupying a seat in the Southern Railway for enforcing, a separate car law of Virginia. The suit is a a quei to the criminal suit of Virginia vs. Barbara E. Pope, growing out of Miss Pope's pretence to occupy a seat in the Southern Railway in eliciting a great deal of attention. Several influential and public spirited zeen and some important organizations are backing it with moral and financial support since the issue of volves affects with the American and Afro-American of the National Capital and of the country at large. Monday's night's meeting was largely attended and spirited addresses were delivered by Rev. J. Milton W. Dron, Prof. L. J. W. A. H. Grinze, Prof. L. J. H. Stewart and A. liberal contribution was made to those present in furtherance of the prosecution of the case, which aside from a own intrinsic merits, is of especial interest in view of the reams. Interstate Commission, in the which Miss Georgia Edwards of Tennessee was complainant. Gradually the dragon of Jim Crowism has been coiling itself about the National Capital making it impossible for Afro-American citizen residence here beyond the boundaries of Columbia without having their manhood and womanhood, their consciousness of citizenship, ship rights, and their self-respect injuined, degraded and outraged by its poisonous venom. Its infectious approach is viewed with consideration, few years ago, in a new squidicomic, unorganized and, on the whole discreditable attempts were made to check its advance. The District of Columbia is not distinguished as a soil fertile for the men of courage whose bravery and wisdom and wrivers go unredressed. For this reason Jim Crowism has been allowed to imb its fangs hereabouts, and it is now for individual effort stung by a secret menace outraged to remedy the effort did not prevent. Mr. H, H, Hart, a citizen of the District of Columbia, pulled the worst fangs of the monster in Maryland a few years ago and incidentally Afro-American men profited by it, and if as an American, Miss Pope or someone else can break its vertebrae in Virginia, a great service will be rendered. Certainly the case has some interesting features and it has already covered some extraordinary域ain. If any pretense of real chivalry in the United States, these separate car laws and the manner in which they are upheld by courts and commissioners would belie it. Of course everybody nowadays in this real chivalry and religion in these parts is a permanent sham. Miss Pope purchased a railroad ticket in Washington for a point in Virginia. She paid as much for her ticket as the daughter of the Governor of Virginia would have paid, or Washington could have paid, to the train to Washington to the train station on a regular train. When the train had crossed the "District line" was speeding on the soil of Virginia. Miss Pope, on reaching it with the pious name of a church, was put under a prisoner and later put on a prisoner and a criminal which the laws of Virginia make any Afro-American woman who would preserve her self-respect or assert the right of contract in the matter of travel. The municipal court decided a crime, the circuit of Alexandria county. The case went to the court of appeals at Richmond and there error was discovered in the trial of the court below and the criminal charge was eliminated. The situation in Virginia then result-ly itself into this colorado woman, traveling Virginia, insists upon the commission and the court for which she has paid, she must not be arrested and locked up, but the train must be stopped and she must be put off anywhere in the hospital wilderness of the civilized State. wonder the Prince of Wales to study the re-entry of our laws and customs. But, apparently, Miss Pope did not reach her destination on that fatal journey and for this reason and for the additional reason that the railroad company's employees had violent hands, she is working damage. The courts of the District of Columbia have reiterated what the Federal courts have frequently asserted, and what everybody knows, that a State cannot regulate interstate commerce, but at the same time it has set up a very mailable dictum to the effect that a railroad company can be liable for the damage it caused in a case of this. The result is that Miss Pope has been allowed damages to the amount of one cent by a jury of twelve good men in the land of the square deal. Her principal ticket cost something more than a dollar and the trouble and damage that venture have caused in additional eight hours for all of which and for maintenance of the great principles American law the court grants one. Of course Miss Pope and the cause which she is a victim are not satisfied an appeal has been cited. With sublime and tragic trust Afterward the hope and right "shall fall at last What best to all." to heighten the tragedy of this in the ultimate triumph of or prejudice in courts of justice blight confidence altogether, the state Commerce Commission, has ordered in the case of the complaint of Georgia Edwards a most interesting and extraordinary "opinion," for as to conclusive evidence of a guilty to one of a most vague matter. It is both a travesty of rationation and a burlesque of justice and, tood of silencing the question, it has added to its acuteness. It is simply unthinkable that in these United States with a population of nearly a hundred million progressive people, any such milk-and-water "opplion" can embark the nation on a path to nearly ten million of citizens by common carriers at the behest of States which the taxes of these people help to support. Tainted money is one thing, and being there money the average American is not. Justice is quite a different thing and far less tolerable. Three different and totally inconsistent premises are laid down in the syllabus of this opinion to arrive at an absurd conclusion. 1. "Carriers may not discriminate between white and colored passengers paying the same fare in the accommodations which they furnish to each." Excepting the implication in the foregoing that separate accommodations are permissible, the premise laid down should lead logically to the overthrow of the discriminating laws of several States. But the implication upsets the premise, because that has ever ridden on a railroad train. The very fact of separation establishes discrimination as the parties separated must occupy advantageous or disadvantageous positions on the train as long as the engine is not harnessed to the middle of the train. The same applies to those former passengers on interstate journeys is a reasonable regulation of interstate traffic and permissible under the act to regulate commerce." Note the words "segregation" and "reasonable". Segregation implies unfair restraint and prohibits the pursuit of apparent comforts of travel, freedom of motion and freedom to choose those situations and companions that make traveling pleasurable. The structure of the mental machinery that can evolve the idea of reasonableness in any such arrangement must be a phenomenon that would not mind could of course consider it both "reasonable" and just to segregate all cross-eyed people on common carriers. Lastly there is laid down with much detail of statement the proposition about "similar accommodations" as though similar things and all of this is set out for the purpose of showing that injustice and prejudice are right and lawful. In this opinion or report prepared by Commissioner Lane the following is stated: "The broad question of right under the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments of the Constitution to segregate white and black people in the Supreme Court of the United States" and five cases are cited in support of the dictum. Not a single case cited supports the statement and only one of them can by analogy be construed to uphold it, and in that case (Plessy vs. Ferguson) Mr. Justice Harland delivered a characteristically vigorous dissent, and the court formed a definition of the state Commerce Commission, this report says: "Public sentiment, wherever the colored population is large, sanctions and requires this separation of the races." This raises an interesting inquiry as to what is embraced under the term "public opinion"? It also establishes beyond dispute the need to some extent to balance the more disposed to interpret and enforce "public opinion" than to stay with the law. Colonel Watterson has recently told us that there is nothing but humbug in our much-boasted public opinion. And may not the same be suspected of our law? The opinion adds. This was recognized by counsel and compilation and developed by the hearing. Counsel may do well always to admit both matters of fact and law, but Afro-Americans cannot be too careful about admitting these issues, given the similarity with regard to "public opinion" "wherever the colored population is large." Perhaps these things won't happen when Afro-American attorneys handle these cases and will not farm them out to those who are likely always to make damaging admissions. It is well to hear in mind that between friends the case is not all that its worshipers think. It is neither wise nor safe to "suss" the court when you have a good case and Afro-Americans in the United States are wise to repose confidence in the ultimate rightness of the Federal courts, have occasioned much misgiving and much despair. This is not uncountable. Courts are human institutions, and judges are not without the faults and foibles of mortals, and yet often they rise to the highest performance of the judiciary. The separation of the courts on common carriers is in the very nature of things wrong and unlawful in spite of petty statutes. A good case, honest and competent counsel, plenty of money which should be sufficient, will eventually prove this. Some years ago when a good case was badly presented to the Supreme Court and was decided adversely there was considerable abandonment of hope. In the midst of the despair a very紧急 attention was given. I took that decision as a sort of confession on the part of the court that white man's rule is inevitable and unavoidable, to avoid domestic convolution, and that we must submit, if necessary, to have the Constitution strained, to accomplish our purpose for establishing a white colony in the United States. In the meantime you must keep at work to create a wholesome public sentiment on this question." J. L. Love. Brilliant Recognition. The Head, Second and Side Waiters Association, local branch, No. 2, of the National Association, with headquarters in New York city, gave their annual reception last Thursday evening at Fitzgerald Theater, in New York City, for the occasion. A retinal assembly gathered to celebrate this occasion. President William H. Nichols and his assistants were kept busily engaged during the entire evening, looking after the welfare of the strangers, turning the music. About 11 o'clock Mr. J. H. Steward, ex-president of the association, introduced Dr. E. T. Terry, who introduced Mr. Hurley C. Green, president of the local association. The officers and staff of the association were presented to Mr. Greene is the headwaiter, presented him with a $60 gold watch, emblematic of the high esteem in which he is held. Mr. W. P. Davis, second officer, responded in Mr. Greene's behalf. About 11:30 o'clock the orchestra played the grand ceremonies, and Miss Whitman led the march, followed by over sixty couples. AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION NEW YORK, THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1907 Novel Branch of Jurisprudence and Its Development—One of the First Attorneys in the Court and Several Probation Officers CHICAGO, August 10.—There is some soul of goodness in things evil, would men observingly distil it out." A juvenile court building, costing not less than $125,000, and in plan, purpose and administration unlike anything of the kind in this country, was formally declared the first court in the country, the evidence of an audience of men and women representing a new force in American life. This juvenile court is a distinctly novel branch of jurisprudence, and its development to the point where it takes its shape is a remarkable achievement in the administration of justice represents many years of study, work, experience and achievement. It has brought into public service a new profession in which men and women are aiding a work that women and girls are involved in. A children's court, in which the judge appears more as a father than a stern judge; a court room with walls adorned with pictures of innocent child life and children in need of a loving work that parents and friends of the juvenile offenders and confers with them as to what is the best thing for the child, is surely an innovation that has taken a new enlightenment of mind and heart to bring about a new kind of justice. At work to save rather than punish juvenile delinquents or dependents the old way of sending children to the chain gang, as now practiced in the South or sending them to jail with hardened criminology, seems to belong to the dark ages. The law defining the purpose of the new juvenile court says: "That the care, custody and discipline of a child shall approximate, as nearly as may be, that which should be given by its parent and, accordingly, done, the child is to be placed in an approved family home and become a member of the family by legal adoption or otherwise." The friend thus becomes the adviser and friend the child and it becomes his duty to see to it that the child is surrounded with good and wholesome influences. A group of carefully examined and suitable men and women, known as probation officers" follow up every application of this watch care is to care every homeless and dependent child from debasing and harmful influences, as long as the child is kept in the custody of the court. The place of detention is fitted up like a home and not as a prison. In the case of a juvenile who has a prison bars and no administration oaths, with the terrible solitude that makes some criminal children afraid to tell the truth, much less a lie. Instead of the brutish threats of punishment that we are accustomed to, the moment of deliquence children, the child comes to a court room beautifully furnished with receiving rooms, dormitories, dining rooms, kitchen, hospital and play ground. The moral effect of this new criminal offender is already apparent. Tidal influences have noticeably repressed the criminal instincts of bad boys and girls. Since the juvenile court has been in operation there are fewer boys under sixteen years held to the grand jury. The commitment of boys from 17 to 20 years age to the institution is still in progress. In a State prison for boys girls under 18 years, is deceiving us as a result of the ten years' work of the juvenile court. It would be very interesting reading to follow up from its beginnings the influences that have brought abo the new juvenile court. This new branch of jurisdiction evidently was not conscious and developed by the politician. The whole scheme was thought out and brought to its present concrete form of adequate realization by a group of men who had been involved in the life of the prisoner. Without prejudice or fear test some of them might become better known than others, they united their hearts and heads and worked persistently and intelligently for one purpose. The public at first was without any conception of the tremendous importance of juvenile justice and progress until they stood amazed in the presence of the thing accomplished. I do not think it too much to say that I FEEL SO FINE R $29,000,000 STROKE, TOO SUN STRUCK I believe it is possible for our men and women, who have the adequate training to awaken the public cohesion in the South to the development of these far-reaching and deep-reaching reform movements, out of which it is to come a new sense of justice and a better fellowship with the mind, illuminated with a knowledge of what is done and hearts strong for endurance and achievement, are the only things needed to upstart the eighteenth century methods of treating our delinquent and dependent children.

JOSEY WASHINGTON, August 31. Mr. L. H. Posey, an attorney of this city, died suddenly Monday morning in his office, after a long illness. Profession here and the announcement of his sudden death created much excitement. Genuine regret was felt in the offices of all Afro-American attorneys. Mr. Posey was a member of the District of Columbia for about fifteen years, and was cordially liked by the members of his profession. Before he began active practice of the law he had been a member of the Departmental service of the government. Says the Policies and Acts of the Administration Have His Full Approval—Remedy for Trust Evils. From The New York Sun. COLMURS, O. August 13.—Speaking to a crowd of audience of more than 5,000 persons, William Howard Taft to-night delivered what will be regarded as his platform in his candidacy for President. Not once did he mention the name of Joseph Benson Fooker, but he made eminent contributions that he made by the latter on the Hephart law, tariff revision and other subjects. As had been expected, Secretary Taft in his speech came out as a stance up to holder of all President Roosevelt's policies. He also declared himself in unanimous agreement that he would devise the vision of the tariff and a pledge from the Republican party in its platform to bring this about. The review of the President's policies took up a large part of his speech. Referring to the work of the President, Secretary Taft said, "I am glad to express my complete, thorough and sincere sympathy with and admiration for the great conserving and conservative movement which he has with wonderful success initiated and carried so far against bitter opposition to the tariff. There was nothing either radical or conservative to preserve to us the institutions inherited from our fathers." To those who would cry civilism Secretary Taft said the so-called Roosevelt policies had been trained to defeat socialism. There was nothing either radical or conservative to preserve to us the institutions inherited from our fathers. In referring to the recent slump in the value of securities Secretary Taft insisted that the President should not be held responsible for it but pointed to the fact that there had also been a slump abroad as well as a condition of stringency in the market to account possibly for one of it. "If the prosecution of dishonest and ill legal practices is to injure prices," he said, "then this should be charged not to the plaintiff, but to the violator, law whose amount of injurious methods has been so successful and far-reaching as to make their prosecution a serious threat against the stability of the market." In this same connection Secretary Taft disclaimed for the President any intention to engage in a raid on corporations. "It is not true," he said, "that he proposes to rip up past transactions, when he reason of the injury to innocent participants would do more injustice than good." The reason why he was for revision of the tariff, Secretary Taft said, was because he held it was plainly the duty of the Republican party to see that the duty on imported articles did not exceed the tariff, and to warn between the cost of production abroad and here because when the tariff was largely in excess of this difference the temptation to monopolize was fostered. The improvement in methods in the last ten years, he said, has led to the belief that this difference has been reduced in many ways. Mr. Taft said that Congress to investigate. Revision of the tariff, Mr. Taft went on to say, would affect only those persons injuriously who were making an unreasonable profit out of an excessive rate. The fact that we were enjoying prosperity should not prevent the most Congressional tariff said, would bring the matter up in a presidential campaign. He advocated therefore a pledge in the Republican plat- form that the tariff would be revised and action postponed until revision would be less affected by political considerations. The history after after expressing approval the rate limitation, and answering its critics, expressed his approval of the plan to amend it by requiring certificates from the Interstate Commerce Commission for all issues of securities as also said that he was in favor of another amendment limiting stock ownership and referred to the Harriman investigation as revolting a "dangerous tendency which, if not stopped, will lead to the absorption of railroads in the country into one band." Evidently replying to the criticism of the centralizing policy here disclosed, he said that the constitutional limits of Federal action should not be blurred out or the Federal power expanded by doubtful intervention to interfere with State rights. But the role of Commerce to take action to control interstate commerce, he said, could not be denied. In regard to trusts Mr. Taft declared it to he his belief that rigorous entitlement of existing laws against illegal combinations and "equal and just operation of the railways would restrain the great power of the nation in the bounds of legitimate and useful business." Mr. Taft came out in approval of legislation against fortunes due to rebating, or some form of monopoly or overcapitalization. Such legislation, he declared, properly belonged to the States. He advocated a Federal graduated inheritance tax and income tax at such times as government revenues needed addition or reinstatement. Church Workers to Meet.

James Walker Hood, president; Rt. Rev. Alexander Walters, secretary; Bishophood is the oldest bishop in age and history; the bishop is the world. He commenced his work in New England many years before the war. In making his annual address he spoke as follows: African Methodist Episcopal Zion church, which is the oldest offshoot from the mother Mothodist church in this country, is a most important body. The times demand that a race leader should exercise exceeding great care in the exertion of their utterances and intercourse. He is regarded as speaking body which he presides. Whenever a body of representative Negroes is assembled, the eyes of the Nation are turned toward them. Their utterances are critically examined. A new leader had better keep silent than a speech amuse. There are those who think that the conditions are growing worse. I am very far from taking that view. It seems to me that we have better times than we have known. The Nations of the earth are all in the making, and the world is growing better. Conditions in our own country are better than ever before. The condition of our race is improving. Our people are comfortable with the sentiment respecting them is improving. "I listened to a speech from the governor of North Carolina at the twenty-fifth anniversary of Livingstone College at Salisbury, N. C., last May, which was a statement showing the improvement of the Negro race which were astonishing. Much as I have seen of the program our people have made, his statements were far beyond my own expectations. The governor gave very strong evidence of his duties to do justice by all the people, regardless of race or color, and I am sure he allowed me to do that. He was the president of the white people of that State. "Since that time, I have run an address delivered by Editor Waterson of Loganville, Ky. (Mr. Waterson is possibly the greatest living political editor, a man well known and having a long influence in every part of the country, and a lover of the Negro race could be uttered than such an address from such a man." "I prerequisite I should hardly be expected to remain silent on a subject which has been so much discussed, namely, the disarmament. With my people, generally, I feel grateful to Senator Foraker for the effort he has made to secure for the soldiers a fair hearing. In fact, from the time that Senator Foraker, as a soldier in the Closet of Sherman's army in North Carolina by a hazardous night ride, I have studied his career with increasing admiration. I am glad that there seems to be a hope that the report of the Senator Foraker will pillow the soldiers in a more favorable light. "I have seen nothing to change my original opinion that had the soldiers been white and the same report been white and the same report been conducted, he would have taken the same action respecting them. But I do not believe the same kind of report would have been made to him. The officers who now believe the same report would have had been commanding white soldiers, would have taken all possible care to find the facts before making the report; and the President would not have been implying in judgment is common to humanity and ought not to be too harshly criticized. "The discipline of our church forbids our speaking evil of ministers and magistrates; and a higher authority, still—Taubert, that we should not hinder ourselves mands us to "render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's," that is, we are required to pay proper respect to constituted authority. To rail against rulers is never in good taste. In the story of the woman is not represented as saying barbed things against the judge; but as presentin' her case so strongly and so persistently that he thought it more convenient to grant her request than to be troubled by it. The woman is in this country, can least afford to do anything to weaken the respect for authority or for those in authority. Our well-being here depends upon law and order; here we must maintain the favor of the best civil sentiment on all sides and in all sections. "I think we shall best conserve our interests also by keeping them far removed as possible from the machinations of the authorities, responsible for all the evils of which we complain as a race; therefore, we cannot afford to be an issue in politics if we can help it. At the close of the address at 12:20 a.m. we proceed to sightseeing until the closing session at 7:00. Bishop A. Walters addressed a large gathering at the council convention on Monday to be "Saved." He urged the Afro-Americans to be patient, honorable, upright, to take an independent stand and vote for the men of the highest integrity who are willing to lessen to color, to not make enemies of the white friends North and South who are helping us and to mould public sentiment against Jim Cobb. As in this country, the president assured that the discharged soldiers of the 25th United States Infantry would all be restored to their former positions in the army with their former records.

Deminate Its Action—Address of Booker T. Washington. TOKKA, Aug. 17.—The National Negro Business League opened its eighth annual session in this city on Wednesday morning. The League was called to order by Mr. Ira O. Guy, of Topeka, first vice president of the organization. After an invocation by Ree. Henry R. Brown, St. Simon P. E. Church, a letter was read from Hon. E. W. Hoch, Governor with the purpose of the League and regretting that, his unavoidable absence from the State prevented him from appearing in person to extend a convalescent leave, the League ordered Kansas with such a timely and helpful visit. Vice-President Guy then introduced Hon. T. A. McNeal, State Printer, who, in the Governor's stead, entered the League in person. He referred to the fact that, though the Negro theoretically had all the rights of other people, practically he did not, but thought there was hope for the future. He regarded the hump of William C. Johnson as the demagogue Verdunna as a sign of an improvement in decency and right thinking on the part of the South. The margin was small, but every little bit of the Negro suffered was due to human selfishness, rather than malice, and questioned whether if the conditions were reversed whether the Negro would be more fair in their treatment under dogged adversity under the dogged adversity day after day, when justice would hold aloft. Other addresses of welcome, in coral vein, were delivered by Mayor William Green, of Topeka, on behalf of the city, and by Jon, J. A. Trontman, representing the city's business community, James H. Guy, speaking for the local Business League, said the Negroes of Topeka were the most industrious people on earth, and as such welcomed the coming on body field would inspire them with strong strength and industrial and commercial betterment. At this point Dr. Booker T. Washington, president of the National League, assumed the chair, amid tumultuous applause, and received the dainty Chauhouque salute at the bells of the house of the league. He produced in turn Judge Miffin W. Gibbs, the "grand old man of the Negro race," and Mr. R. L. Smith, of Texas, who responded felicitously to the welcome addresses of the distinguished representative of the Fortune, the editor of THE NEW YORK Aik, arose and solemnly suggested that the presence of the League upon the field made memorable by John Brown should be recognized by a tribute to his memory, and asked that his grand son Grant who helped by seven million and child in this region, and who was a prominent figure throughout the League series, invoke upon the meeting the spirit of the fearless destroyer of the newspaper institution of slavery, by the meeting broken only by the deep and penetrating voice of the man of God, created the one thrilling and dramatic episode of the session. After this singularly impressive interlude the League settled down vigorously to the 300 delegates and double that number of visitors to the city of Topeka. The first speaker was D. F. Tipton, of Emporia, Kan., who told of his experience of twenty-four Years as a House Manager, of Indianapolis, Ind., on "Twenty-seven Years" Experience in State and Gravel Rooting and Contracting," and John Spencer of Grimfield, Iowa, who contracted and built "Contracting and Building." The chief interest of the morning session seemed to binge about the story of Robert C. Owens of Los Angeles, real estate, whose firm was building with small capital, as an option dealer, have enabled him to amass property valued at the enormous sum of $75,000. It is a number two-third of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, and in a short time will have a monthly rent port of $1,500. J. N. Boll of Houston, Tex., also spoke on "Real Estate," in which he has achieved a gratifying success. Self Helpfulness the Curse for Racial Ill. The spacious and beautiful auditorium, one of the very best halls in the West, was filled to overflowing at the evening session. The principal feature of the community hall is the address of the League by Dr. Washington. The delivery contained much that was new and some that was not new, but never before had a Kansas audience be heard him speak. He was a man of great orthostasis, which characterized his utterances on this occasion. His address was in part as follows: "There used to be a question as to what education could be educated that is, in the ordinary sense in which we understand education. There is no longer any such question in the minds of any people whose opinions are worth considering. There is no question that is constantly being debated, as to what extent the Negro as a race is using and is capable of using education so as to increase his productive ability and in distributing the product of earth among the markets of the world. If repeat that during the last forty years the American Negro has convinced the world that he could be educated in literature, in science, art and in the professions. We have won his notoriety in the notoriety of composing upon abstract argument, not by abuse of some one, but by actually doing the thing: by filling every public school, every college, every industrial and professional school that has ever been opened to him, by composing upon living, tangible object lessons in every part of the United States that within themselves were indispensable victims of our ability to receive education. When proof is asked of point of interest, the little bare-headed and bare-footed, picky in the Mississippi log cabin school, or we can point to the Negro youth in cap and gown in Oxford University. So much obedient, but, as we have said there, there is no doubt that we have ability to apply our education to all concerns of common life, to bring to bear the force of our obedience upon matters that concern plain, everyday living. Education may be valuable or worthless. Gold touching the markets of the world is valuable; a bushed or gold dollars in a boat in midcoast, lying the foot of a hungry man, is worth $1,000. Gold has got to teach a sociologist. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1907 to impress and value to it. Education has sown. The remainder of the day was not to touch memorial in the home stay, apart of Garfield Park, where a plaque in has got to question something just left, to honor of the league was given. The ceremony on Friday evening cowered were laid for the table was a dream of a delightful meal realised. Record only to the address of Dr. "Now, one of the objects ought to be accomplished by the National Negro Business League is to help the Negro race receive education, but that it can use it in getting most out of labor. In this case, as in the matter of education, it is going to be the actual doing of the thing, vice the world. In meeting this need the National Negro Business League has already more than justified eight years of existence. In the book with it, we see the tool with which and not without for success. It is teaching the race that success is one's own community. "Let me illustrate something of the influence of this organization for the Negro race, were it less than half a dozen Negro banks owned and controlled by our people; now there are thirty-four, and ten of these are in the State of Mississippi; the race owns every town and city now has its grocery stores, notting stores, good goods stores owned and conducted by Afro-Americans. Out of this organization has grown every town and city, and throughout the country, which are exerting the same kind of influence in their communities as the National League. But above all this is the spirit of our people, a mission to prove our usefulness, as citizens. "Despite much talk the Negro is not discouraged, but is going forward. The race owns to-day an increase equal to the combined average of Holland and Balkan houses, more stores, more banks than has ever been true in his history. We are learning that no race can occupy a soil unless it get as much out of it as any other, and the laws of trade have no regard for race or color. We are learning that we must be builders if we would succeed. As we learn this lesson we shall find help at the South and at the North, and we must be tolerated in communities, we must make ourselves needed. The law that governs the universe knows no race or color. The force of nature will respond as readily to the Negro as to any other race. Man may discriminate, but nature and the laws that control the affairs of men will not and cannot. Nature does not hide her wealth from a black hand; the rewards of use are greater than the great chance for the Negro race. Underneath all political, educational and even moral and religious progress are certain laws which each must comply. From this law they can chased as successful. From this law they can escape for black or white, red or brown. "The great battle cry of our race that should be sounded in every part of the land is 'overcome evil with good.' overcome failure with success. overcome failure with high endeavor. overcome shiftness with high achievement. There is something in human nature that compels respect for success regardless of color. Most important of all, do not make the denomination of swing, demanding or defending right, will push forward our cause. All this has a place, and a right place, in the economy of race building, but will leave us wandering in the wilderness many miles away. We will learn more thoroughly than another, it is that successful effort is constructive. The musical features of the program were highly enjoyable. Prof. George Bardis, Atkinson's favorite organist, rendered in magnificent style several classical solos on the grand organ, Ms. Wiley on the bass, Dr. D. Owens, of Los Angeles, contributed beautiful vocal solos, as did also Miss Jessica Olen, Topaka's popular young singer. Bishop Abraham Grant invoked the divine blessing upon the speaker and the assemblage, and Vice President Chas Banks presided with dignity and purity, while the evening was read by J. Washington, a wholesale grover from Martin, Texas. also. The remainder of the day was spent at Garfield Park, where a poster in honor of the league was given. The poster was of Dr. Washington, the night before, was the interest manifested in the speech of Hon. William Tormeckel Vernon, who has risen rapidly from the ranks to the highest position in the league. The poster of our race. The hall of the House of Peppermintatives was crowded at an early hour, and those who had to stand were well repaid for their discernent. for Dr. Washington, academically and manly speeches that has awakened the Kansas cohort for many a day. Dr. Vernon showed that the Negro was an indispensable factor in the success of the league as a man because he had earned them on the battlefield, in the manufactories, on the farms, at the bar, in the school room and on the forum. He was a champion of the league, and exhibited by Dr. Washington and praised the league as the direct expression of the Negro's constructive genius and a testimonial of his soul to make him a further useful in the uplift of Cot Nation. The evening's program was filled out by a paper on "The Catering Business" by John T. Writt, of Pittsburgh, who has made a fortune by original methods, and Indianapolis, which introduced as a caterer who has served such enthilient persons as President Roosevelt, Vice President Fairbanks, and others, and who, starting with nothing, has now over $30,000 worth of food, clothing, and imported linen, together with other paraphernalia of the up-to-date caterer's establishment. P. Fred, Remainne, of Joplin, Mo., talked on "Harvard's manufacturing," and Fred St. Louis, introduced his experience, the undertaking business. Fourth Vice President Fred. D. Patterson, of Greenfield, O., provided during the evening, and made an excellent impression by his tact and generosity and clear, sonorous emuine at the St. Jorn Octat song most accer- Following the speaking at the State House, the crowd adjourned to the auditorium, where "The Minuet," a picturecourante reminiscent of colonial lines, led the chorus in eclecticism and delusional. Miss Violin Overall, was presented in a fauteless style. In the interim of the sessions the National Association of Banks elected officers of the ensuing year, and the National Association of Banks elected officers with a full corps of officers, whose names will be given in subsequent notes. Several States organized State Leagues, no Texas, Texas and Oklahoma. As the next meeting places on the urgent invitation of the Board of Trade of that city and the vicious insistence of the leading colored business and professional men of Philadelphia, Mississippi, L. T. Guthrie, Okin, and one or two other places, were rival candidates for the honor. The report of the committee was diplomatically presented by the President of the Oneous Saving Bank Nashville, Teen. The following persons served on the below-named committees during the sessions: On Credentials F. H. Gilbert, New York; R. W. White, Alabama; Besmark Lavine, Missouri; F. C. Carter, Indiana; C. E.

Missouri; O. P. Portland; G. W. Franklin, Georgia; L. Nixon, Indiana. Rescue Congregation Simons, New York. The report of this committee was a commentable document, sensely calling attention to the wonderful development of the commerce, industrial parts and a footing in the soil as the fundamental elements that must finally solve the new problem.

The social side of the convention was similarly elaborate and the functions tendered to it were not only the nuttiness of a highly enjoyable picture, the power of the event, but the paucity of the moment was the hamper, at the edifice. Dr. Washington was at the head of a long and handsome receiving line, and at his side was Mrs. J. M. Wright, who was early in the concatenation session adopted by the board of the city, Mrs. Wright's genial and engaging manner and consideration for the happiness for all made for her a host of friends during the attentive week. She was the guest of the banquet tendered to Dr. Washington and the officers of the league at the residence of Dr. R. S.

I have seen the Pekin Stock Company give a performance of "Captain Rufus" and also "The Husband (?)," which, therefore, calls for a comparison. "The Husband (?)," styled as a farce comedy with music, is on the boards at the Harlem Opera House this week. Two very clever and coming writers from Chicago, Aubrey Lyles and Flourney Miller, are responsible for the book. Joe Jordan and James T. Brymm wrote the music. J. Ed. Green, of course, staged the piece. Monday evening I sat and witnessed "The Husband (?)" throughout the entire show, and enjoyed it. immensely is funnier by far than "Captain Rufus" and greater still. Stuart and Punk Willis "the husband (?)," even a better opportunity to show his ability as a comedian. Messrs. Lyles and Miller have out together some very amusing situations. The critical will universally declare that "The Husband (?)" is the better production, while those who attend theatres to be entertained only will favor "Captain Rufus". The latter piece is much the heavier, and calls for heavy acting, but it still maintains a pleasant, but baited (?) light farcical comedy, and while it requires more lines than "Captain Rufus" no Southern or Marlowe are asked to play them. Harrison Stewart is shown up to an advantage in "The Husband (?)", but he should remember that originality wins out nowadays, and he must refrain from either consciously or unconsciously imitating a certain colored comedian, as he knew he ought to be. Take Your Time, the other evening. Lottie Grady, an the wife, was very acceptable. However, she was inclined to be a little stagey at intervals. A coming little soubrette is Nettie Lewis, who danced and sang a though she really enjoyed her work. After the comedy, work of Stewart, honors for second choice is due Mat Marshall, who is developing into quite comedic talent. He balances and sing a hit. When J. F. Morse sang "You Dear" to Miss Grady he gave the musical treat of the evening, and I was glad to note that he was encored and encored from every section of the house. Morse's fourteen months at the Pekin Theatre has done him a world of good, and he is sensible in continuing to study. Others in the Oma wereerry Mills, Georges W. Willey gerry Kirk, George W.

Cole and Johnson were scheduled to play another week at the Bjion Theatre, but the "No Fly Regiment" was compelled close Saturday night by illness in illness of Johnson, whom threat is in such a condition that he is unable to sing.

ASHBURY PARK, August 18.—The City Council to night passed the new fire or ordinance the mayor veto. The effect in the company in West Park will dropped from the rolls. This company is composed of colored men. It was in existence before West Park was annexed to Ashbury Park. Many of the residents of West Park are colored. When the annexation took place the council recognized the company. The white firemen objected and prepared an ordinance stating that the Fire Department of Ashbury Park should consist of companies which it named. The list did include the company composed of Negroes. The mayor voted by a majority vote, but the mayor voted that was last spring and the majority of the council lacked one of being able to pass the ordinance over the mayor's veto. To night President Kimnouth of the council, reversed his former vote and voted with the majority, giving it to the majority for the colored company will apply a chance for a writ of cortiorari to test the constitutionality of the ordinance. WAIP THAT TURNED DARK DIES WHITE PLAINS N. Y., AUGUST 19.—Martha Washington, the wife, who was found on the highway, Plains on July 4 and adopted by Mr. and Mrs. George or Quick, who returned her to the Westchester county almshouse when they discovered that she was colored, died in that institution yesterday. If the baby had been found and adopted by a colored family there would have been nothing said about it, but the fact that he had been taken by a white family and affirmed chapel was unusual and was printed in the newspaper from Maine to California, with the result that Superintendent of Foor E. B. Long has been flooded with letters from persons who wanted to adopt the infant. Some of the applicants are Negroes and have no children of their own and some are white women. Superintendent Long has replied to the inquiries, saying that he had another baby at the almshouse, a regular Topst, which will be a prize for any one who wants her.

The forthcoming meeting of the National Medical Association, which will be held in Baltimore, August 27-29, will be well attended by Washington members and professionals, Dr. George W. Cahunis, president of the organization, predicts a large and successful meeting, and is awakening much enthusiasm among the medicine men here. Dr. W. S. Loffon, corresponding dental secretary, has raised considerable interest among the dentists of the country and is confident of a great representation of this department. There are also Afro-American dentists in the United States, and Dr. Loffon has been actively corresponding with about two-thirds of them. "The local committee," Dr. Loffon said the other day, "is arranging for the dentists to have a section separate from medical and surgical divisions, and will invite the manufacturers and dealers to participate in their latest and best dental equipment." The large manufacturers have signified the intention to make an exhibition through their representatives. Dr. John A. Kenney of Tuskegee, general secretary, states that the association condition and bids fair to be one of the foremost Negro organizations of the day. Passive Notes. PASSAIC, August 21.

Peterson, in the Borough of Manhattan, New York. The Hughes Boom in the West. An Iowa dispatch to an Albany newspaper brings the news that the suggestion of Governor Hughes as a Presidential quantity has met with great favor in that section. This is well illustrated in the favorable comment constantly being made in the State press. The remarkable thing is that voices from both Iowa Republican factions seem ready, for once, to sing the praises of the same man. The Des Moines Register and Leader, the State organ of the "progressive" Republican wing, published a first page story in which were utterances of prominent Republicans upholding Hughes as the logical candidate for the Republican national convention to nominate next year. This was followed by the Cedar Republican, a stand-pat newspaper, almost uniformly opposed to everything championed by the Des Momes paper, which, in a leading editorial, pays the New York Governor a splendid tribute. Those shrewd politicians who are guessing as to the choice of the next Republican convention should keep a watchful eye on New York's present Governor, as he occupies a unique position in public esteem. Maryland Republicans, for a Fair Ballot. The Republican State convention of Maryland, held at Baltimore last week, is reported as altogether harmonious. George R. Gaither had been unanimously decided on for Governor, and the other places on the ticket were arranged so as to give all sections of the State a place, and went through without a hitch. In the platform a fair and uniform election law is demanded, the Democratic party being severely arraigned for repealing the ballot law enacted by the Republicans in 1896. This is the paramount issue. The ticket as a whole is regarded as exceptionally strong because of the popularity of the candidate for Governor. Mr. Gaither is expected to receive the support of the Independent Democrats. Fifteen years ago he left the Democratic party and since then he has been affiliated with the Republicans. In making an issue of a fair and uniform ballot law the party in Maryland has shown decided courage, which should redeem it from the taint of "lilwhitism" hitherto suspected. Something Practical. There is one practical thing which a number of "The Movement" can do. The Afro-Americans of Georgia, are making a strenuous fight against the disfranchisement bill which is at present before the people of the State. The proposition is to be voted on some time in the fall. Dr. H. H. Proctor, Mr. Judson W. Lyons, Mr. H. A. Rucker, Mr. B. J. Davis and a number of others are making a great fight against this iniquitous measure by endeavoring all the Afro-Americans in Georgia to pay their poll tax, register and be in position to vote against the proposition. A great example for others would be set if Hershaw and Dr. Dubois would pay their poll tax and be prepared to vote against; the bill. It means little to go off to Boston and pass a set of resolutions unless they are put into actual practice at home. This "movement" is said to stand for political freedom and liberty. Its leaders should be practical; they should pay their poll tax and vote. Forecast and the City. While the rapid destruction of the forests has aroused the indignation of the lovers of nature, the average city dweller is prone to regard it with unconcern. But a recent circular of the Forest Service, connected with the Department of Agriculture, emphasizes the important relation that the forests bear to the health of the cities, as well as the country districts. It points out in plain terms that the protection of city watersheds demands urgent attention. The annual spring floods, which bring destruction to thousands of homes in the lower-lying fertile valleys and are generally followed by epidemics of serious diseases, would in a great measure be prevented were the slopes covered by forest. Forests regulate the flow of streams, prevent erosion and turbidity, and make waste areas beautiful and productive, besides insuring a source of pure water supply. Wherever natural reproduction cannot be depended upon to cover the denuded and burned-over lands of most of these watersheds, tree-planting operations will be protective, timber crops will eventually be produced which will yield good profits on all such investments. Referring particularly to New York, New Jersey and the New England States, it is argued that while the necessity for tree planting has not been felt in this part of the United States so keenly as it has been, for instance, in the treeless West, yet sufficient planting has been done in the past to prove that the growing of wood crops is entirely practicable. Large areas of land in this region are int for forest growth only, and from an economic standpoint it is important that these lands be put into a state of productiveness. Extensive investment in forest planting has thus far been unduly discouraged by present methods of taxation and, in parts of the region, by difficulty in securing adequate fire protection. Throughout this region there are large lumbered acres on which successive fires have destroyed all young trees of valuable species. Inferior trees, such as aspen, fire cherry, scrub oak and red maple, as well as shrubs, have sprung up. This land is worthless in its present condition, but where adequate fire protection can be provided, forest planting will bring it again to productiveness. There is a large amount of land, particularly in New England and Michigan, which was first cleared for farming, but has since deteriorated in value either through loss of fertility or through neglect or abandonment. Throughout Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Hampshire many of these abandoned farms and old pastures are now covered with white pine. But this crop is rapidly being removed, and little natural reproduction will follow because seed trees are lacking. These lands offer exceptionally fine opportunities for forest planting, owing to their nearness to market and to their freedom from brush cover. The barren sand plains of Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Michigan, which cannot be tilled and are a source of expense to their owners, will in many instances support a good growth of white pine, or at least one of the more hardy species of pine. Nearly every farm has at least a few acres which are of little value for growing agricultural crops. This land should be set aside for a woodlot and devoted to the production of fuel, fence posts and timber for farm uses. The species best suited for plantations of these various sorts, as well as planting directions and advice as to protective measures, are given in the circular, which can be obtained free upon request to the Forester of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. New York's New Postmaster. The appointment of Edward M. Morgan as Postmaster of New York city was announced officially after the former Assistant Postmaster had lunched with President Roosevelt at Sagamore Hill last week. The promotion of Mr. Morgan to the head of the local office is in every way a victory for civil service reform, as he has certainly climbed the rungs of the postal ladder and demonstrated his ability to stand at the top. He has been in turn carrier, watchman, clerk, chief clerk, superintendent of Station L, superintendent of Station D, superintendent of City Delivery and Assistant Postmaster. Mr. Morgan entered the service as carrier in 1873 and has served under four postmasters—James, Pierson, Van Cott and Willcox. He was Assistant Postmaster in the incumbency of Postmasters Van Cott and Willcox. Mr. Morgan was reported as saying that he had no policy other than to give the best possible service to the city and that in matters of promotion merit alone would count. Politics will be entirely eliminated. These words will be full of encouragement to the faithful workers in the service, who depend on their records for promotion. Chief Municiae's Position Filled. MUNITA. August 19. Upon the statement that no colored man is available, the War Department has authorized the recruitment of the present chief man in the War Department, a white man at the end of his present enlistment, which expires July 31 of the present year. This news was received with much disappointment by the enlisted men of the regiment, who rejoined at the present of a colored man holding such a concession, and as a regimental band. That this is a much desired position is evidenced by the way it is sought after by white men, and the looting of this vacancy through indifference in the army, as well as our indifference to the chances of securing commissions in the army, that those who clamor most against "closing the door of hope" are not always those who are most anxious to enter when the door is closed. A short while ago your correspondent was informed that an actual vacancy in the same position existed in the Ninth Cavalry Band. Will our musicians let that happen, also, by default, to some white men? Corporal George R. Thornton, hand, Teuth Cavalry, was discharged from the service of the United States; to accept a civil appointment, he having received an appointment as stenographer in the Bureau of Constabulary as a result of a computer examination and the civil service. The position pays $180 per month. --- Flared for Annoying Girl. ASHURY PARK, Aug. 18. -For announcing a colored nurse girl twelve years old Henry S. Saunders, of New York, a summer resident of Ashury Park, was fined $25. The girl was in charge of two children, and she followed her from one place to another. She finally complained to the police, and Sarah Bres was arrested. I. J. Abbott in the Independent Early in the last century, dramatists, in Congress and elsewhere, thought of founding somewhere in the Great West an Indian empire. Firstly a portion of the unoccupied domain west of the Mississippi was set aside as a home for all the Indian tribes of the Nation. The idea was that these tribes could be moved to the part of the country and located in the southeastern white states would become a great Indian State. Roving bands of Cherokees and Chickasaw had begun to enter this region as the largest of the tribes, the "Five Civilized Tribes," and finally came summited when the Seminoles were forcefully located between the North and South Canadian Rivers in 1848. These tribes, Sherman Creek, Chocoton, Chickasaw, Cherokee, Catawba, and in some civilized at the time of their enforced removal from the South Atlantic and Gulf States. They were in a crude way agriculturist, and brought with them to the Indian territory a considerable number of shaves. The Five Nations, immediately after settling in the territory, reorganized their tribal governments, similar in most reorganized tribes, as was a governor, known as "Principal Chief," and a council consisting of two houses. During the Civil War, influenced by the Southern agents among them, and by the Confederate generals in every tribe, the citizens of the Five Nations very generally sided with the South. All the tribes were left exhausted and decimated by the war; and reconvened to form a slave tribe, dealt the progressive tribesman a severe blow. Congress also enacted laws resulting the Indians to divide the tribal lands with their ex-slaves. This was bifurcated into two tribes, but in one way or another treaties were imposed upon four of the tribes granting varying amounts of land to the freedom of the respective nations. The Chickasaw, but nevertheless, they were compelled to allow every ex-slave, or his descendants, forty acres of land. The dispute was carried into the Court of Claims, and the Confederate generals were for the land than forcibly appropriated. But soon the blacks were accepted as an integral portion of the Creek and Seminole tribes, for long previous to their settlement in the Indian Territory members of these tribes had intermarried with common, so that now (I have it on the best authority) there is not a Seminole family that is entirely free from Negro blood; and there are but three Creek families, some make it two, that are of pure blood. Then I skillfully Creole nation. Creole nation an "Indian." You can offend a black no easier than by denying his Indian parentage. This is so elsewhere throughout Oklahoma. Every Negro that can possibly maintain his contention insists that he is an "Indian." In this way he feels that he can be accepted in tripoli that meets his race at every turn. And it must be confessed that the Negro Indian, or Zambu, as such a racial admixture is termed in Spanish America does occupy a more influential position in Oklahoma society than the mulatto or African American, but he explained from the fact that these Creek and Seminole Zambos have large land interests, and that they are a decided factor in the politics of the new State. But the strain of Negro blood in their veins puts a social barrier upon a white man, and the same such tribe that has so slight a strain of Negro blood that it is called "Indian" and overlooked. This minority is not entirely extracracked by the whites, but it has become an event of rare occurrence when a white man or woman marries either the Creek" or the Seminole tribe. I know of a *Creek*, who, so far as one could judge by appearances, is a white man. He undertook to prove his Indian ancestry, and was indicted, allotted land in severity. The investigation developed the fact that he was one-sixteenth Negro and had no *Creek* blood at all. Immediately his wife left marked man, with no future other than the future a Negro of intelligence and capacity can hope, for within that race. That woman would have had to accept the man's mark, and she remained that merchant's wife. As it was, her children had a stain that soap would not wash out, nor society forgive, in the South. She was fourteen Indians and "intermarried citizens" elected to the recent Oklahoma constitutional convention. Not one of them was a *Creek* or Seminole, although these two tribes constitute much of the Indians of the two regions. The Cherokees, Chickwaws and Chickasaws, the remaining tribes of the Five Nations, seldom (one can almost say never) mixed their blood with the Negroes. On the other hand, they early infiltrated Indian tribes in the English and Scotch blood of the South. This is particularly true of the Cherokees. No effort was made to maintain the pure Indian blood. The contrary, especially of recent years, has been full blood, now seldom marry full blood, and now marry full blood with only the smallest fraction of Indian blood in his veins, almost invariably seeks as a life partner a "noncitizen": not infrequently some school unarm or oillier employed in one of the nurseries but not in the general population or two until there will be no Indians of the five civilized tribes. The Cherokees, Chickwaws and Chickasaws will have lost their identity in the white race. Last winter I had Chickwaws children in my school who were one one mile apart from me, but that was all. Had not this medium of Chickwaw blood given each one of them four hundred acres of good land as the sun shines upon, you can judge, as well as I, how much Indian they would have been. But the Crick and Seminoles, in a distance where Cherokee blood largely dominates, will be counted as Negroes. What is true of the civilized Indians of the Eastern Territory is also true of the blanket Indians of Oklahoma. As with the blanket Indians, they are always almost invariably they enter into the white race. It is quite possible that the Indian's dowry of a bottom farm, that is indulgent and exempt from tax, materially assists in blinding eyes over famous for accuracy of vision, of Indian Territory, is also a land owner. The ex-slaves of the Five Tribes are protected in their holdings as are the Indians. And in the Oklahoma, or Western half of the new State, the Negro was not a slave. In the various "openings" we find considerable numbers of them obtaining claims. So in both divisions of the State there are probably a larger percentage of Negroes who own their own homes and are in community situations that show in the United States that will be seen that Oklahoma's Negro population is hardly to be termed improvident. More than this, it is not numerous. In both territories with an approximate population of about one hundred thousand is not to exceed the hundred thousand even if the Creek and Seminole Indians The question then presents kind: Why is there each letter hostility to the Negro in these territories? The recent election has bledged on the question of secondary schools, separate railway coaches and separate waiting rooms for the block. Hardly a candidate for delegate, be Kansas Republican or Texas Democrat, be a Republican or a Democrat, three "insemen." Because the Democrats were counted upon more fully to live up to their pre-election promises in regard to Negro legislation, they won a sweeping victory. But twelve Republican debating as against ninety-nine Democrats. When the Constitution Convention met those three pet measures of the ardent Kerryphoebe were quite enacted. The separate school provision is in accord with the enabling act. A system of separate schools has been in operation in Oklahoma for more than a century. It was accepted by every one as a provision of the new State's well-fixed policy. But the separate coach and waiting room provision was enacted with much less assurance. The Republican minority (gilled to vote—either way on the proposition, so as to take advantage of any circumstance would be able to turn a circumstance colored with the wise) in the question for State officials, which is to be held this fall. Then an alarm was sounded at Washington by Southern Senators and Congressmen. It was averred that if a separatist coach and waiting room provision were written into the Oklahoma constitution, it would be issued the necessary proclamation and statehood would fail. It was also pointed out that these race segregation measures are just as effective when merely statutory. Not a State now enforcing them has such constitutional provisions. It was also pointed out that Congressmen got their information when never explained; but evidently the Democratic majority at Guthrie accepted the Washington view of the matter, and the "Jim Crow" provisions of the constitution were hastily repealed. The Republican majority a political trick of the Democrats so that they can continue to win elections with Jim Crow's able assistance. * Yet both among Northern Republicans and Southern Democrats there is a deep-seated aversion to the Negro. Race prey on the South, and we find the Mongolian of the Pacific Coast hated and legislated against because he is abstinent, frugal and industrious. An Oklahomaman will give you exactly opposite reasons for voting in the Republican and with all at times inclined to be impudent. After talking with many men, college graduates, professors and Northern men of education and station. I have yet to meet a man who has not mit a strong personal antipathy toward the blacks. That is, they much, prefer to come in personal contact with Negroes, and regard the so-called "white towns of the territories as progressive, but under the jurisdiction of Negroes are not allowed to reside there. The Negro's participation in the policies of the territories gets him into trouble, and gets him little else. The slum wards of most cities, in both territories, are under Negro control. The Republicans, generally slightly in the minority, on that one day hobbed with the Negro ward boss. The usual methods to carry such wards are employed. A single Negro is sometimes—not frequently—used as a military office, and regularly defeated by the very men who put him up. But the Democratic ward heeler, who can never successfully handle this contingent, presents such an intrusion of a solid black graft, as to the Negro's graft. Thus more fuel is added to the fire of race hatred, and the Negro gets no benefit from his participation in the election. In the entire history of Oklahoma Territory but one Negro has held the position, and was attached a salary of any proportions. The Negro is provided with good but separate common schools. At Langston, Oklahoma maintains a colored normal and agricultural college that is simply supervised by the Negro. The work he can readily find employment at excellent wages. The white people of the new State appreciate that he is here and bound to stay here. But it is felt, and per cent, of the State's white population, that he is not to crowd himself upon the whites; not only in the school room, the railway coach and waiting room, but in the street. But why is the Negro retraced, while the Indian, more numerous than the Negro, is everywhere met with friendly toleration, no social burden being raised by the Negro, and shrewd shrewdness that makes the difference? Is it because the Indian blood is quickly lost in the white, while the Negro blood clings tenaciously? Is it because the woman was satisfied with own social environment, and no ban was imposed on his intercourse with the whites? The full-blood Indian is quite as improvident and as slothful as the Negro. In both territories much less obtrusive than Indians in the Appalachies, that so far as I know, actually farms except by proxy. They are prisoners of war at Fort Stilk. The government arrests compels them to work in the army, and the men for this exceptional industry. But any one of those Apache prisoners, or the most ignorant Wichita, can hope far more in Oklahoma than the best eductor Negro that the new State can produce. At the second primary election an eighth-blood Cherokee was nominated by the South for fourth blood Class, resumes the party endorsement for Congress - this mind you, in both cases, chiefly by white votes. But in Oklahoma the Negro can hope for no political or social motion that requires white encouragement. DIED OF STARVATION. White Minister Refused Proper Treatment—Was Elder In Colored Church. The Rev. Peter H. Peters, who died last Wednesday in St. Vincent's Hospital of starvation, was a white man who was an elder in the Union American Methodist Episcopal church, which he had joined in 1955. He was taken to St. Vincent's from 12. Sixth avenue, where the Rev. Samuel H. Hale, a clergyman of the African Methodist Episcopal church, who conducts the Minetta Mission, had taken him on July 3. Mr. Hale gave him a poem and bed and food. He said that Peters was about 52 years old. He could speak German and Spanish and had a knowledge of Hebrew and French. He had been a seaman, and married a colored woman about five years ago. For seventeen years Peters had been blind. He had done some preaching, Mr. Hale first saw him in 1903, when he gave Peters, and his wife aid, Peters was living then in a basement at 310 West Thirty-ninth street. The Charity Organization from Society also helped him. In April when Peters sent for him from Bellevue Hospital. He was in Bellevue (for ten weeks). We have just received news of the growth of a new evening industrial school in that portion of Brooklyn where the colored people, who may desire, may take advantage of the opportunity to learn something useful. The new school is to be opened in No. 5, which stands at present corner of Duffield and Johnson streets, but which is to be moved one block west of the old school out of the way of the new Manhattan Bridge which is to cover that point. No 5 is a school of thirty rooms, very commodious and in its new position will be fitted up-to-date in all its appointments, affording a particular feature which it will be able to fulfill. It will be a new and commodious foundation affording a basement, where junior engineering will be taught in the most modern fashion, graduating men capable of taking charge of the most modern buildings, a thing of great vitality. Very few of our public buildings are jailforced by colored men mainly because, colored men have not been afforded the opportunity to rise out of the clean known as "store-pipe janitor" or, more accurately, "store-pipe cleaner" and not bottlers, engines and modern appliances for heating and ventilating. This school is the result of the success that has attended Dr. Bulleyk's schools in New York, first No. 80, in West 41st Street, then No. 67, in East 41st Street. In April last a delegation of Brooklyn citizens, consisting of Rev. W. H. Hutter, Rev. W. R. Lawton, Rev. W. A. Alexander, Rev. I. S. Sandé and Bobotton, rev. Dr. Bulleyk's evening institute, in Brooklyn, and what was shown there appalled so to their understanding that they immediately sought the establishment of such a school in the Borough of Brooklyn, and that they petitioned the industrial committee, of which Dr. William Jay Schieffeldis is chairman, for what they needed and as a result of the energetic movement of a company on trade schools, Dr. Seth Stewart, Steven Irwin, the school board has granted the school desired. Don't for a moment think, though, that the school has been obtained for the simple asking; work, work of the very hardest kind has been done before this school has materialized. Only he who has had work of obtaining two thousand regular signatures, every one showing a bona fide residence. In the beginning, too, several of the colored clergy cured the thing rather askew, fearing that it was a movement to reestablish the old separate school system, the reestablishment of that system; and it took much talk and constant explanation, to overcome that fear. Some doubtlessly believed it, others, however, simply used the argument as a pretext to save themselves additional work, for quite all know that the State law and the New York forbid separate or race schools. Nevertheless, it is true that the promoters of the project desired to call the attention of the colored people first to the school, hoping to find them sensible enough not to lose their foreign element and to bring up bodily doubt would and certainly did attempt. Of the first thousand names quite fourths were those of white residents; these caught at the thing eagerly, while the colored people had M. John T. Themerson we hope to see made principal of the school, worked uphill all the way, meeting the opposition of persons who should have been better informed, harassing him right and left; dull and unappreciative in their attitude, that the one thing lacking in the education of the colored people who have settled in these parts is industrial education, absolutely the only salvation for our people. The Jews and Italians are picky about the colored people, while the colored people slam the schools necessary to their elevation. And to think of leaders among the people so blind as to persuade them to let these blind pass; it is certainly awful and discouraging. The colored people, in the H. Hurder D. D., have a whole tower of strength in the work. Rev. Dr. F. M. Jacobs stood aloft for awhile, but when he was fully persuaded that the establishment of the school was the right thing. The Rev. W. R. Lawton supported the work from beginning to end, and to his persistence much is due. The actual work, though, of circulating the petitions and cards, the hard work, requiring time, was not easy. The work, exercised by our friends W. R. Waddell and Mrs. Mary E. J. Parker, both of Dr. Jacobs' church, and Mr. P. H. Fisher, Jr. of Rev. Dr. Dixon's church. Those who in the long future may feel grateful for the education will think of all the industrial work has been crowned with success. The cards that are being circulated of for instruction in carpentry, practical electricity, care of boilers, janitor eugening, mechanical drawing, architectural drawing, lookkeeping, common school subjects, housekeeping, cooking, sowing embrider millinery, dressmaking, gardening, writing and domestic science. The success that has attended like classes in Manhattan may be looked for in Brooklyn. But, after all, we are not sure until the registration days have passed that the colored people will make any considerable effort to get into that school. There seems to be signs of indifference, owing to the likewarness of several pastures. "HELLO SHOE" A SUGGESTION Proposed Salutation for Chicago Convention—The Re-election of Atkinson and Holmes. "It it seems very appropriate to change our salutation salute to "Hello, Shoe," in recognition of the screen entertained for Brother E. M. Shoecraft of Chicago, and inasmuch as "Bill" will be in the shoe at Chicago. We, therefore, respectfully suggest to the fraternity that in greeting the Authors this year, say "Hello, Shoe." Afro American Elks! The eyes of the world are on you. The reading public is looking upon you with unwanted interest. Above all, however, your friends are watching your movements with sympathy and praise. Can our fraternal forces be united in a great forward movement? In the exercise of our cherished individual liberty and fraternal independence, is it possible for the principles of right, the isse of justice and race, to be asserted and ensured in your personal task so noble? Let our answer be yes with sincerity. Remember, dear brothers, we are on tint and our fraternal policy is being tested. It is essential for the fraternal community to be like this, that there must be some reliable authority, some sort of unity. It therefore, behooves us to set aside, personal preferences, subordinate individual desires, forgoing personal convenience, and maintaining the status of our grand egalled ruler, and the grand coronary - Atkinson and Holmes and so on they for another year what a man has done and is doing. For the success of any enterprise will always appeal to right-thinking men, and we are sure there is not a man in the order who has inborn more sensibility nor yet more ability to the success of our order. Without any desire to succeed, we can trustfully say that Athens and Holmes share in the present successful status of the Grand Lodge has been very considerable. This is the question which we must ask in little few weeks. We believe the answer will be unmistakable, herating unmammose votes! Let us do, and all fall in line and mobilize for the re-election of those two most worthy brothers of the fraternity, who have been duly tried, and found true blue to the pliates of Elidom. Let their past achievements be displayed with always congratulations. The characters of Atkins and Holmes have been a most positive influence for good in keeping the membership interested in the possibilities of the fraternity. Certainly, the members have been a constant incentive to keep up the efficiency of the order, to encourage the spirit of intelligent co-operation. These are the surest signs that the membership wants to loyalty support their present membership. The membership has perishable growth of a tremendous growing institution, and retain the two important officers in competent banda. The permanency of the efficiency of the order has been considered, as a reason having been secured, and these two efficient officers installed, it is hardly probable the order will be allowed to die, though it is true its present success is largely dependent on the personal characterisation of its affairs. The result to be secreted is desirable, and so in line with the general conception of our constituency, that we are very hopeful. And could we but recognise this truth, we would be spared memory, or, as we save much oratory and paper, we would be mature consideration of the above suggestion by the delegates before deciding on a possible line of activity. August, 1907. W. PRESTON MOORE. GALB FAN FISHPRMN Close Interesting Annual Session at Washington—Election of Officers WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 19.—The National Grand Tubercule of the G. U.

ELKS IN ORANGE New Order to Be Set Apart—Tittle Brotherhood Doing a Credible Work—Other Notes. ORANGE, N. J., Aug. 19. The Rev. Lawrence of Union Baptist Church, has been given a vacation, and left for the South Monday. He will attend the Baptist Conference while away and will spend much of his time traveling through the Southern States, studying the conditions of our people. A very liberal sum was donated to the pastor by his church and the Grungesites will soon boast of a new organization—the Elks. A club was formed of five or six men during the first of the month, and after listening to a few explanations by Mr. Rates, district deputy minister, and after interested in the order, and as a result, the club has grown in a short time to the very large number of thirty brilliant young men. The club, which now has its in the required sum, will be set apart. Dr. A. A. Hardwick, of the U. S. Navy, spent a few hours in Orange, visiting classmates, Drs. Alexander and McClendon, Prof. Jesse Hill, president of the School of Law, and Mr. Wendell interning lecture to the Epsworth Leagau at St. John's Methodist Church, Sunday, August 10.

He is responsible for the city's public health and has held many political offices. He is commander of the G. A. R. park, and for the last ten years has been at the head of the city sanitary cleaning department: His appointment gave military training and is a reward of honesty and faithfulness. Gabriel R. Miller of the 1800 class, Tuducville Institute, has been elected principal of the Voorhees Industrial School, Denmark, S. C. He was formerly instructor in carpentry in the Penn Normal, Industrial and Agricultural School. There are now 2,200 colored men and women employed in the different houses and departments of the stock yards in Chicago. According to the Chicago Daily New, the colored students at the University of Chicago stand very high. Most of the Chicago students and the manager of the employment bureau are they are sought after, because they stick to their jobs. All the students are earn- est and hard workers; and rank high in their grade, and are distinguished by their maturity and wisdom. Emily Smith, a colored student, recently received a verdict at Yanoo, Miss., by a white jury, for $12,000 against the Yanoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad for killing her husband. About a month ago the Merchants' and Transportation Company of Navanah, G. State, fourteen trucks from Hampton Institute. These trucks were made by student labor.

He received the degree of doctor of philosophy at the last convocation of the university, and he was accompanied by the coveted "Ingram Award." He is also a member of the Sigma Xi Fraternity, the honorary scientific organization, election to which was won in extraordinary display of genius geology. At the recent meeting of the National Negro Teachers' Association, held at Hampton, a consolidation of the organization, the Agricultural and Mechanical College, was accepted. This union will give new life to both bodies, and will add to their general efficiency. The meeting at Hampton was largely attended and was an exceeding success. R. S. Lee, director of academic department at Geology Institute, was reelected president, President R. R. Weight of the A. and M. College of Georgia, chairman of the committee, and Dr. Waring, principal of Baltimore High School, first vice-president. "Negro Day" at the Jamestown Exposition was celebrated August 3. Booker T. W.

SACRIFICIES Color and Johnson and the Polish Social Company and an American Phi- loi Society more in Their Latest Ventures. It is in many ways that, the philosopher in any walk of life rejoices the harvest from the seed he has sown. Offthem many of them even die without knowing the real good they have accomplished. Christopher Columbus discovered America in 1492; yet he died without knowing how truly great he was as a discoverer and what a great and glorious country he built without knowing what great works he had written, and such has been the fate of many and many a founder and pioneer. The Afro-American race cannone although it is beginning to wake up to the fact that it will have to make sacrifices which are absolutely necessary for the future that will be benefited. August has been made notable in New York this summer, and that by the Afro-American of the theatrical profession, they will prove productive to some one of the race in the future. The two examples which I think should be greatly appreciated by the Afro-American people are to wit: The engagement of the Cole and Broadway and the introduction of the Pekin Stock Company from Chicago to New York theatregoers for three weeks at the Harlem Opera House. Cole and Broadway, a large sum of money. They would have been artfully surprised had the box office receipts indicated that such was the case. They did figure on expenses, and though plays would be advertised, which means to the actor his stock in trade; Saturday night the show closed, after two weeks on Broadway, and no money was made. Let they have made a merrier, more colored show will profit by their experience. During the two weeks the Cole and Johnson company was at the Bijou Theatre I attended two performances. Laying aside any and all sentimental feeling I had about the two women my personal opinion of the two solo writers, I must say that their show is not a Broadway production. Regardless of the prejudice against the race, I believe that public opinion is usually fair, and that with but few exceptions critics will be able to win. Wickens' Theatre "The Time, Place and Girl" show opened after nearly a year's successful run in Chicago and other large cities. I read the criticisms of "The Time, Place and the Girl" show, and it became clear that opinions expressed by the newspapers regarding a play. The following evening the Bijou Theatre, almost opposite Wallace's, opened with Cole and Johnson. The initial performance was very uneven, with some critics were very generous, and treated the show and the stage fairly. As I said before, the Cole and Johnson show is not a Broadway production. The opening, however, could have been combined with a harry to get on Broadway. As the result, it was a case of "haste makes waste." I believe in that song of Joe Jordan's. "Take your time, take your heart," he says. "Just listen to it, the best way to do, you will find." Having asserted that the Cole and Johnson show is not a Broadway production, I will endeavor to explain why. First, the show is not comedy; secondly, the female cost is not strong; thirdly, the situations as a whole do not bear the markings of a Broadway show. Take any Broadway production and compare it with the cast with that of Cole and Johnson, and then you will realize why in one instance "The Shoofly Regiment" was not a hit on Broadway. In giving the cast a show, you have with what has been meted out by the successful ones. Those who attend Broadway theatres are a critic of them. They see many shows, and great shows. They see what has been meted out ordinary with them, and they go from playhouse to playhouse, looking for novelties and during you to make them laugh and applaud. If you deliver the goods too hard, you will fail to do so; if you fail, it's your fault. It is just the opposite with a show in a second-class house. Many of those in the audience only go to a theatre when a colored show comes to town. It is easy to make them laugh. There is not too much. But the second show is showy. The "Shooty Regiment" is a good show, and using as an advertisement "Played on Broadway, New York," ought to draw large houses in the other cities. It should prove one of the strongest box office attractions for the second class theatre from the other cities. Carole and Johnson are not, I can't see it on Broadway, comparing it with Montgomery and Stone in "The Red Mill" Richard Carle and "The Spring Chicken," George Coban, Anna Held and other Broadway stars. It cast of meat and apples them a strong cast of meat and apples, make good when they are off the stage. I shall return to the Pekin Stock Company, which I have associated with Cole and Johnson as pioneers in the mouth of August. I do not believe that Robert would make a barrel of money by bringing the celebrated company of "Windy City" artists to New York, but they were prompted by the same motive as Messrs. Cole and Johnson to make a big name in Opening with "Captain Rufus" last week, the engagement so far has been very successful. While not playing to crowded houses, the attendance is good, and it seems that the size of the audience has grown. Both white and colored were amazed last week at the manner in which "Captain Rufus" was put on, and the Pekin Stock Company is demonstrating that the whites take us seriously from a dramatic point, when applied in the proper doses. Even more serious is "The Husband." being played this week. The piece is a farcecomedy, not a musical comedy, and is minus the usual large number of musical numbers, yet the piece went very nicely Monday evening. It remains to now how favorable "The Husband" will be replayed in "The Husband" the week, but if the verdict is the same as in Chicago, the "Pekinies" can on Saturday sell "Peaches." Comforting. A lady who had recently moved to the columbia was very fond of her first bread of chickens. Going out one afternoon, she bought a basket of chickens eight-year old boy. Before her return a thunder storm came up. The youngster forgot the chicks during the storm, and was dismayed, after it passed, to find a broken bottle of water. Though fearing the write to come, he thought best to make a clean breast of the calamity, rather than leave it to be discovered. "Mama," he said, contritely, when his mother had returned. "Mama," six of the children had said. "Dead."cried his mother. "Six: How did they die?" The boy saw his chance. "I think—I think they died happy," he said—Harper's Weekly.

WILSON PROMOTION PHYSICIAN OF NEW BORN Yankee Training in Development of SOUTH. NEW BURN, N. G., Aug. 19.—The scientific experts should investigate the wants of the Southern people. Southern people that a large percentage of their inhabitants want of their material treasure. The white farmers do not keep pace with the Western farmers, and the merchants are too well satisfied with certain results to become promoters of great commercial systems. The Yankee is controlling all of the industries of the South, and the South is controlling all of great industrial activity only through Yankee ingenuity, energy and dollars. This is a peculiar condition, but it is true. If you ever visit certain communities of the South and find the white population in the North, Afro-Americans will be bustling, but the white population in sluggish, the bulk of Afro-Americans are sluggish. The Southerner's evident failure to make the most of his natural advantages affects the people in the South. Often these conditions make a man a receptacle of vicious thoughts and helpless crimes. These conditions breed intemperance, idleness, hatred, and insensitivity. This class is reckless and have no regard for law. The white laboring DR. JOSHUA H. WILSON element and capitalists of the North are producing machines, and they more than double the productive capacity of their Southern brothel. For years the majo- rific and influential people have been dosing under the influence a prejudice and hatred, while the Yankees have been filling their own storehouse. Is the Afro-American of the South out of this industrial race? No. His brain is equal to the strain of modern ideas, and his blood is not thin and his muscles are not strong. The Afro-American of the South is filled with skill and is acquiring knowledge and wealth. Therefore fathers of the Afro-American people have not doomed them to be hewers of wood and drawers of water. The time has come when the young Afro- American are crowding his way upward. Heurts has been energetic, progressive and intellectual young men as Dr. Johanna H. Wilson. Dr. Wilson is the son of Rev. J. E. Wilson, D. D., the presiding elder of the M. E. Church for the Charleston district. Rev. Wilson is postmaster for the grower, and he graduated from Chalmers University and meritoriously gained the degree of A. B. He then entered the department of medicine at Meharry Medical College, Nashville, Tenn. After completing his course in medicine at this institution he went to the medical college. This young physician successfully passed the State Medical Board of Georgia, and this year the State Boards of North and South Carolina. Dr. Wilson possesses original endowments and he has mean energy. He works with students in having recently arrived in this city, yet he is heavily taxed.

B. Taylor Involuntable—Evangelist Dias in the Street. PHILADELPHIA, August 19. — James Booker, an Afro-American, found a wallet along the Philadelphia & Reading R. B. near Marcus Hook Saturday, containing $8,000 in bank notes. He accertained from papers in the wallet that the purse belonged to Howard Pew, general superintendent of the Bank of Ohio pawn plant. He took the money to Mr. Pew, who rewarded him with a $5 bill and a job for life as watchman of the oil plant. While preaching in the street at Teenth and McKean streets, Sunday evening, John S. Francis, an Afro-American evangelist of 1016 Bainbridge street, was seized with a hemorrhage and choked to death shortly after being admitted to St. Armenius Hospital. He was brought to the Afro-American downtown, and it was his custom to gather crowds about him in the street and conduct brief services of song and prayer. With a pair of handcuffs fastened to his left wrist, William Dunham, an Afro-American stowaway, leaped over board Mouday morning from the decks of the British steamship Annetta, moored alongside pier 28. South Wharves, and escape boats, and James Brown, both Afro-Americans, Dunham made his way aboard the Annetta, while that vessel was loading bananas in Kingston, Jamaica, and stowed away in the lower hold. They were found when two days out and cheerfully submitted to the captain's sentence that they should work for their passage. At this port they were told to land, they would not be allowed to land. They would go with the ship, but while the officers of the ship were placing the irons on their wrists to take them to the police station for safe keeping until the ship sailed. Dunham made a dash for the rails and leaped overboard. Every effort was made to capture him, but Dunham, who is an expert diver and swimmer, eluded all, and diving under the wharf he made, escaped. The founder of the ship under the supervision of the architecture of the city, when he went ashore. If you want to get lost in a maze of difficulties try to explain to the average individual the workings of the building of the city. I ventured that there are at least 15,000 Afro-Americans in this city who hold stock in these institutions whose aggregate savings are as great as the deposits in some banks. Although the methods whereby the profits are made are comparatively unknown, the people have sublime faith in them, and the foundation of many a fortune is laid at the doors of a building and loan association. Nowadays a merchant has a 35 a month deposited for that time comes to $000, and, with the interest and profits added, comes to $1,000, the full value of the shares. The Afro-American Union Camp Meeting Association of Philadelphia, incorporated, organized in 1904 for the object and support of benevolent and missionary work, will hold a grand reunion on Sunday, at Union Camp Meeting Grounds, Darby. The purpose of this meeting is the first public effort on the part of the permanent house of worship in this city. Prominent divines will deliver sermons at each service, to be held hourly, beginning at sunrise. J. B. Taylor, the Afro-American champion of the University of Pennsylvania, who entered the senior championship from the Irish-American A. C., was declared ineligible to compete at the meeting of the registration committee of the Metropolitan Association of the A. A. I. Saturday night in New York. This means that Taylor will have to run a full year unattended before he can wear the collar. One man was killed and three others injured by the collapse of a wooden scaffold on the twelfth floor of the St. James Hotel, 13th and Walnut streets, shortly before 2 o'clock Friday afternoon. Three of the men, Afro-American, bricklayers' helpers, were engaged in tearing out the wall of the light well. They placed the bricks on the scaffold and the weight of the bricks became so great that the scaffold collapsed and the three men were hurled down the light shaft. Charles Jordan, 1712 South street, was killed instantly. James Long, 622 South 12th Street, Hospital park, may die C. O. Chisholm, 1209 Pearl street, bot badly seized a joist on his way downward and had a miraculous escape. A Philadelphia Afro-American mother before leaving for a trip to the seashore, called her two little daughters to her and told them of her proposed journey and how for hours she would have to sit in a train while the engine pulled the car over a couple of hundred miles of track. She also told them incidentally of the things she might encounter. If she should hold the car with him, the train. Both children had been taught before retiring to kneel at their mother's side and, repeating after her the Lord's prayer, offer in their baby language a petition for divine protection and blessing for each member of their immediate family. According to their mother's last instructions on the evening of the day of her departure, both tots knelt by their bedside and after the Lord's prayer had been said the mother was somewhat awake and began to cry. After her up this petition: "Dear Lord, bless papa and Aunt Emily and Sister May, but above all else, please don't let dear mamma run off the track." Coroner Sellers yesterday committed George Dennis, 717 South 11th street, white, to prison for causing the death of Tobias Johnson, an Afro-American, 30 years old, of 128 Pine street, by a fatal shooting. Johnson was sitting on his own doorstep when Dennis approached him and started a barricade. The two men clinched, and in the struggle Johnson was cut. He died in the Pennsylvania Hospital. J. H. GRAY. Prof. Keith, for several years an instructor at Clark University, Atlanta, Ga., will take charge of the manual training department in the public schools of Nashville, Tenn., the coming year. A recent strike among the bakers in Panama City, Ecuador, for higher wages, which were unrestricted, brought to public notice the fact that the five bakers in that city are owned by negroes. Four of the bakers are owned by white men, a negro being the proprietor of one, and there is only one white baker in the city. number of migro residents of St. have purchased a park for of the colored people of that These Programs Paralleled with Financial and Commercial Growth of Race in That State. Minnesota, Teen., Aug. 9.—The financial and commercial growth of the Negro in the State of Minnesota seems to be parallel with the success and growth of the secret orders in the state. This can be explained from the fact that nothing does more real good in creating a spirit of unity among the people as a whole as do the secret organizations. The oft-repeated statement that Negro organizations foster and conceal crime from the lawful authorities is both, and the only excuse the White South can find for opposition to Negro secret orders is the more unified, learn practical lessons of race advancement and the sense of substantial patronage of race enterprises. The story of the growth of secret orders in this State would make interesting reading, and it is no idle assertion that the orders are stronger, have more money and put it to better use in this State than any other State in he Union. The recent session of the Grand Circle of the United Woodmen of the World emphasizes all of these statements. This body, which the female members of United Woodmen of the World meet at Laurel, Miss, last month, and was pronounced by the leaders the most successful session held since the organization of the circle. The strength and growth of the order can be well understood from the fact that at this session of the women's department alone, there were more than 200 delegates, and the endowment on the policies in this department is now $800. Another striking fact connected with the affair of this order, is that the women of the department are the women. The Superintendent officers and the grand officers of the first and second districts do not attempt to dominate things, and the ladies are left with a free hand to administer the affairs of the circle. The officers elected for the ensuring biennial term are: Mrs. Lucinda Thomas, past governess; Mrs. Fannie Blackwell, governess; Mrs. M. J. Johnson, vice governess; Mrs. Amida Dibley, assistant governess; Mrs. Crawford, Cawley, governess; Martha Hayes, banker; Mrs. Clara Hill, guide; Mrs. F. E. Cody, chapain; Mrs. Corinne McGeee, inside guide; Mrs. H. Laurence, outside guide. Men may criticize the fraternities as they will, but they can never blot out the record of what they have done in distributing $200,000,000 among the needs and unfortunate in the last two decades. The strong bond which holds together and fraternal beneficiary organization and promotes its growth is faith; faith in its membership, faith in its officers and faith in its laws. Faith is the cornerstone upon which the needy will find aid for an organization to prosper it must be inspired throughout by such faith that will insure the fullest measure of confidence in the community at large. To secure this, the management must so conduct affairs as to merit the confidence of the entire membership. Its officers should be men of thought and action, and not the toastold of the hour with no other thought except to hold office. The man who brings things to pass is the man the world is looking for; the man who is not looking for positions, but who is not looking for them. The man is too busy and has too much to do of a constructive nature to be caught uttering a complaint in the man the secret order is looking for, whether it is commercial, educational or religious. Such a man is the executive head of the United Woodmen of the World. Such a man is J. A. Q. Williams, who founded this order a little more than twenty years ago, with a death benefit of $50. Such a man has brought the order step by step, through trials and discouragements, until it now pays an endowment of a thousand dollars and is considered one of the strongest orders in the state. In this work he has been associated with such men as Dr. H. R. Revelh, H. Avant, W. C. Clay, S. A. Cowan, some of whom are yet with him in the management, but only one of all the place success responsibility of the place success attending the management of affairs of this order upon Prof. J. A. Q. Williams, who holds the official position of Supreme Banker of the United Woodmen of the World. The first district grand lodge and the second district grand lodge will meet respectively in Yazoo City an Hattiesburg August 29, 2014. The second district some real and tangible facts of the growth and management of the order will be made public. HORACE D. SLATTER. Summer Social to be Given for Benefit of St. Luke's P. E. Church.

MADAM JULIA, Australian Cypay, 422 Sixth Avenue, near 26th Street, Fee 25c. july 11-4t FIRST SEA-GOING VESSEL. Virginia Built at Banger Said to Be the First Vessel Built—Spanish Explorer. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: In a recent issue of The New York Sun, (July 28), was the following item, interesting, if true: BANGOR, Me., July 27.—In Bath from August 5 to 9 will be celebrated the 300th anniversary of the construction of the first seagoing vessel in the new world. The celebration will primarily and chiefly be of Maine's achievements in shipbuilding. Bath to-day sends out many splendid schooners and has a creditable representation in the United States navy. When the industry was at its best practically everything used in the construction ships came from Bath and its immediate neighbors with the exception of some grades of iron. The day the reverse is true, and practically nothing comes from the vicinity of the great shipwards. Once the forests of Maine provided every stick of timber used in the craft built along the Kennebec. To-day only the most unimportant stringers and stanchions are found in the wilderness of the North, nearly everything being brought to the place of construction from the West. The wood of the stanchions activity in the yards as provided up to fifteen or twenty years ago. Bath is still busy and the prospect is bright. The building of ships has been the principal industry of Bath for 150 years and hundreds of splendid craft have been put afloat during that time, the tonnage amounting to over 1,000,000 since the time of establishing the Government record in 1783. After the construction and departure of the original kettle was nearly seventy years before the keel of the ship was laid on the shores of the Kennebec. Then Sir William Phipps established a yard at Woolwich. Oak for frames and pine for the spars grew in abundance in the surrounding country and the two great rivers, the Androscoggin and Kennebec, offered ample facilities for floating the logs to the yards, while the precipitous shores along the town's waterfront enabled the children to launch with safety the largest craft constructed. So the industry grew and flourished until the hard times of American shipping came and then it languished. Now it is reviving and the time is thought to be not far distant when every one of the great yards will be busy. On the other hand, it is said that Lucas Vasquez de Ayllon, a Spanish adventurer and discoverer, with the assistance of some Negro workmen, built the first seaworthy vessel on the Atlantic coast, and that Halboa in 1813, who discovered the Pacific ocean, with the assistance of the Spanish-speaking Negro craft built the first vessel constructed on the Pacific coast of this continent. Nearly 500 years ago Negro ship caulkers turned out ocean-going vessels. If Bath celebrates, and The New York Snn publishes accounts of the same, they will do not in the face of a cold historic contradiction. All readers of The Age should be grateful to President R. R. Wright, Savannah, Ga., for giving us these incontrovertible evidences. For authority and reference see article entitled "Negro Companions of Spanish Explorers," by R. R. Wright in The American Anthropologist, vol. iv, for 1908. JAMES BOUNT.
