Verdemelons Used to Win Confidence of Voters LIQUOR QUESTION ISSUE Conflicting Attitude of the Washington Administration Confuses the Racially Confused Electorate Special Correspondent of THE ACE. LANOOGAN, Sept. 2. The contest now waging in Oklahoma is similar in some respects to the historic Kansas struggle. There is this difference, the violence that created the name "Bleeding Kansas" is absent, and is not likely to develop, and there is not a Buchanan in the White House. There is also a geographical difference. Kansas was practically the farthest Western State, with Missouri on the east, Arkansas on the south, particularly bounded, and the Missouri is thereby aggravated and the house is less certain. To the north and east Kansas, on the west Colorado, and on the south and Texas. Politically the motive is the same as that of the early struggle, while strategically the odds are less favorable to an immediately satisfactory situation, in so far as Statehood Will Statehood result from this concern? That is the question which pursues the politicians and people of this territory, and the efforts which are beyond envoyed by both parties to the struggle in more like those born of development of hope. The question is that the humanities for State-ship is of particular importance in all parts of the Territory, and especially in the Indian Territory, whose possible action is the coming election is adding to the confusion and uncertainty created by the proposed constitution. The sober and conservative judgment of Oklahoma in both parties is weighing the risks of the State-ship, as well as the future of the more it contemplates as them the less hopeful they appear. The Secretary's recent visit here has produced a singular mixture of hope, determination and despair; hope on the part of those who do not want Statehood under the proposed constitution; determination on the part of those who are not愿意 do nothing. The challenge executive rejection when it shall have been approved by a majority of the people of both Territories, and despair on the part of those who see in the rejection or approval of the constitution by the people. Statehood indefinitely deferred. Secretary Taft urged the people to reject the票. He was not at all likely to find it, his advice is looked upon as oracular. The feeling is growing that if the people do not reject it, the President will, and in other cases, be outraged. The Secretary's speech at Oklahoma City has certainly appeared consternation in the party response. He was not at all likely to find it, his advice is looked upon as oracular. The feeling is growing that if the people do not reject it, the President will, and in other cases, be outraged. With the Statehood question thus in the maze of overwhelming uncertainty, the two political parties are in the field with the bickers, the voters, and September 11, the little will rage with the fury of a prairie whirlwind. Both the Republican and Democratic headquarters are keeping open house, and every day the bickers, the voters, and the confessor, which may return the next day in the shape of boomerang, and the "candidates" are going to and fro throughout the land, and first acquaintance with the hands like best-time friends. The season is prophetic, as the crops are laid by and the farmers, who constitute the bulk and the Apple and the fishing the seizure to discuss politics and Statecraft, and are often found congregated in little groups about the village stores. The methods of electionering are both different, with the pratechnic and plethoric expedients of the hoary States of the Union. In bugles or surreys the candidates drive from village to village to mingle and several hours in each village, entertaining each group with watermelon feasts. Watermelon abun in this country, and constitute the hearts of the farmers, with the pratechnic and plethoric expedients. The farmers raise them, and the politicians buy from them the merchants to almost a case of eating your cake and having it is too. The farmers always well-known and well-known, man of the settlement to pilot him among the electors, and the skill with which the work is done leads one to suspect that the pilot is himself a candidate. There is not much talk about the issues. The crops, the family and other topics of local and personal interest are the subjects of conversation, and a part of the interrogatories add to the plight of fealty. In the larger towns there is much sounding of the tom-toms, and large gatherings and coerulous humans brilliant flights of oratory and introspective interrogatories add to the excitement. In fact, the interrogatory is one of the most striking features of the campaign. One candidate has a list of about thirty questions, and pounds to his opponent, and which his opponent nimbly answers without enlightening. The questions relate to nearly all the provisions of the proposed legislation toward the adoption of the same and to racial and economic questions. Most of the campaigning, however, in being done by the newspapers, which daily appear in glaring headlines of red letters, thus producing a novel species of Republican paper is published in Guttahill and the chief Democratic paper at Oklahoma City, and the discrepancies of their account of the same occurrence tax the readers imagination to discover the truth. The Guttahill pilot argument upon toppled the people should vote down the constitution that elect the Republican State ticket at the same time. The Oklahoma City district is sure that Secretary Taft came to the conclusion that not as a member of the Dahlnet, but as a constituent of wacolars that the Republicans "are try-Mag to fit a square deal in a round hole, both supporting and opposing the constitution." To-day The Daily Oklahoma publisher an interview with Secret Service states that the President will not reject the constitution is adopted, and will Con- germanman Landis, in which he states that If the constipation in voted down there will not be another unhappy not pursued for decades. To improve the teleographic semblance from both gentleness of the reported interviews, and an anglastic statement from Mr. Landis and another Cundon that another unhappy set will not green. Then the politicize and the people are pursued to know the truth. Besides the issue of party supremacy, which both geography and tradition renders important, accuracy and fitness of the constitution, and State-wide prohibition: Neither party in its convention or platform puts itself on record as to the prohibition proposition, but since the Constitution does not prohibit the public and seek with it in a very supply manner, although the Democrats are coming more and more openly to deposit it as a possible vote-getting expedition. Whether the manufacture and sale of the proposed constitution, the next twenty-one years, shall be allowed in a proposition involved in one provision of the proposed constitution, and it is submitted separately to a vote of the people, one of the best provisions of the instrument, and the one most feared by both parties. The provisions regarding the powers of the initiative and referendum surpass constitution, and should they become operative by adoption would no doubt lead to some extraordinary experiences in legislation. The powers are not confined to the initiative and referendum, and are granted to every minor political division. The adoption of these provisions would give to the future millions of inhabitants of this State the powers enewed hundred inhabitants of a Swiss canton. There is no doubt but that this proposed constitution of Oklahoma goes beyond the attempt to give a definition of races. In fact, the race question is not the least of the issues involved in this struggle, and it more than anything else pertains to the attempt to give this point that the great Kansas struggle seems to be repeating itself in principle, if not in form and method. It is generally proposed constitution set to work to make discriminations inviolate to Afro-American citizens, and to make a mild warming deterred them from going the extreme ever, permeates the instrument, and the inflaming of this spirit is on the programme of the present campaign. Unfortunate is the fact that many people, it is being offered to who can least afford it by shutting off the Afro-American from a proper and rightful measure of participation in the initiative, but as to the definition of races: Article XII. provides, in section 3, the following: "Separate schools for white and colored children, with like accommodation, shall be provided by the Legislature and impartially maintained. The section shall be constituted in the same section, shall be constituted in mean children of African descent. The term 'white children' shall include all other children." In order that there might not be the possibility of misconstruction in the text, the word 'white' with miscellaneous subjects, which includes Section 10 as follows: "Wherever in this Constitution and laws of this State the word or words, 'colored' or 'colored race', 'Negro' or 'Negro race', are used, the same shall be construed to mean or apply the word 'African descent'. In term 'white race' shall include all other persons." This far and away surpasses all previous efforts. No fractions or analysis here. Yet the question may some day arise as to what constitutes "African descent." J. L. Love. Collector Anderson Lands Another Job. Through the personal efforts of Internal Revenue Collector Charles W.

MORAL IF THE COUNTRY APPEARS TO BE A MISTER BY MIS, A MISTER OF THE MIND OPINION STILL I DON'T BE FUCHER J. H. G. DOWN Board of Education of Gloucester Denies Admission to Two Girls —Witnesses Tampored With in Hendrickson Will Case. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 9.—Notwatlain, Philadelphia, possesses of the leading death benefit insurance companies in the country, a remarkable circumstance was apparent during the recent general assault upon death benefit companies' management. That was that among all chargeable and beneficial companies, with the benefit company of this city was assailed or even questioned. The management of the Afro-American companies, so far as human attention and care could go, was nowhere deemed less than reasonable. The reason was that so rife a year ago. The reason was not far to seek. While the Afro-American companies sought business by every re- asonable and honorable method, they were content to get such business as could be made, and which could be fairly and squarely protected by competent investment, reserve and investment management, without looking either for artificial increase in honest inducements, without deceit. They were long, long, long, cordially in progress of success due to a combination of energy and probity. Their patronage, increasing as fast as desirable, was permanent and productive. The showing of liabilities and accruals of the business was announced, expected or needed. Their business stood upon a business base, strong, not overweighted, and durable. In the list of directors may be found men who actually gave time thought and effort to the longevity of the concerns. Patrolman Moses Wright, aged 56 years of the German township police district, failed to report at roll call on Thursday morning, after the fine, so sent in his resignation. If he had remained in his position until the next day, he would have served two years, and would have been appointed. He was always considered an exemplary officer and was one of the first Afro-American to be appointed on the forces, taking his position in 1880. For years he worked as a clerk in a house. He made many important arrests. Two Afro-American girls from Mount Pleasant recently applied for admission to the University, but they were not admitted. The city has no Afro-American residents and there are no accommodations for Afro-American students. The police filled the board of education decided that it would be impossible to accommodate them. The girl pupils of the schools and their parents are objected to the two Afro-American girls, and say, was in store if they had been admitted. The Centre township committee, who sent the girls there, are going to call the County Superintendent Albertson, as they say, "the children must be educated." There is an Afro-American who lives across the street from me who has the ability to "cause" like a streak, but cannot say anything else without atterturing the mind. He is hearing that a department store had advertised for help, he filled up an application. He was notified to report: his appearance was highly satisfactory, but the impediment in his speech struck the manager. However, the manager, wishing to hire him, if possible, asked: "Do you always stutter like this?" "Ham it, m-n-n-o: only w-w-when I talk," replied the position-maker. After the manager had indulged in a good laugh over the answer, he put the afflicted man to work. Pending inquiry into charges that witnesses had been tampered with, the suit of Richard C. Wain, executor of the estate of Richard C. Wain, was heard in which John Willom, Ellen Richardson and John Meier, a lawyer, are None so blind as he who will not see. charged with conspiracy, went over for one week in the Court of Chancery yesterday. Former Judge Wentworth, counsel for Wain, told the court that he was astonished to learn by letter that two witnesses for the plaintiff had been appointed by the defence of committing perjury at the time they had endeavored to have the witnesses swear they had signed the statements. A woman witness, the girl, was threatened with such threat, sheainted. The lawyer declared that her condition became so serious for a time that a physician had to be called. Counsel for the plaintiff asked the vice-chancellor to explain in detail what the details might be accurately obtained to support the admittance. He said that the advocates will show in full the conspiracy as charged in the bill. The case came up yesterday, so the defence of the rule to be re-established should be written any part of either the real or personal property, the bulk of which Mrs. Richardson left to John Wilson, an American on her farm in Monmouth county. "In the medical world," said a well-known Afro-American doctor of Lombar street Saturday, "it is a generally physical indication of his prospects of a long or short life. A long-lived person may be distinguished from a short-lived person at sight. In many instances patient and tell whether he or she will live or not. The primary conditions of longevity are that the heart, lungs and digestive organs as well as the brain large and if well, large the trunk will be long and the limbs comparatively short. The person will appear tall in sitting and short in standing. The hand will have long and short fingers. The brain will be deeply seated, as shown by the orifice of the car being low. The blue or brown hand eye, as showing an interposition of temperament, will be large, open and free, indicate large lungs. A pinched and half-closed nostril indicates small or weak lungs. These are general points of distinction, but, of course, reflect to the usual individual exceptions. The old James mansion, Second street pike and Reading Railroad, formerly the home of Miss Annie T. James, who recently gave Booker T. Washington $1,000,000 for educational purposes, was robed Friday; the discovery of the burialary followed the arrest of two men who were trying to get away with the loot. Among the valuable recovered were a number of old and valuable antiques. The caretaker of the house, George Thornton, did not know it had been robbed until he was informed by the police of the arrest. An investigation of the premise that showed that a cellar window had been forced. This is the second time within a year that the mansion has been broken into. William Dixon, a colored youth, two weeks in from Jamaica, was early Thursday morning treated to a more vivid and painful experience than usually befalls the newcomer. Shortly after midnight as he and some friends were sitting upon a pile of boxes near Pier No. 5, Delaware River, some one armed with a revolver set upon them, and before they could get out of range he was shot in the hip. He dropped on the pavement and was found soon afterward by a policeman, who sent him to the Pennsylvania Hospital. The physicians there say he will soon recover. RINKS LIFE TO SAVE TWELVE. Urea Flats to Make Frightened Workmen Carry Comrades from Tunnel. Sylvester Cannon, a giant Negro, standing six feet three inches, proved himself a hero last Wednesday by risking his life to save twelve laborers from death in the big sewer that is being constructed under Forty-sixth street to the East River. Cannon is foreman of a gang of workmen. Twelve of his men were rendered unconscious by the poisonous fumes of the sewer, and six of the laborers feet under ground. The other laborers became panic stricken and tried to flee to the surface, but Cannon barred the way, and with his fists beat the men until they returned to where their unconscious bodies were. Then Cannon compelled the laborers to carry the unconscious men to shaft No. 2, where they were taken to the surface in a steel bucket. Two of the laborers were so seriously poisoned that their Cannon remained in the sewer so long that he collapsed, but was revived. GRAND EXALTED RULER B. F.

Howard, a Reverend of Ehs of the World where the World was worshipped in the halls of great achievements, were substantially told by the hundreds of delegates from many countries. In a week, these delegates and grand officers were men representing a total membership of 4,000, which constitutes a force of character and an organization capable of a serious military uplift of the Afro-American folk. The gates of the city were thrown open by Mayor Gerber in an eloquent speech. Dr. J. Edward Milla, general organizer, responded to Mayor Gerber's presentation in presenting to the body the truth that had made his organization a power for good. Dr Milla's speech was a conservative one and issues of vital importance affording *Elkdom* and the race were dealt with by this young doctor addorger. Mr. Robert J.

I have a great love for the white Elks. This is false. We extend our hand to them, and we will be the white Elks' brother, if he lets us. We will work hand in hand with him to equip us in our work with the white Elks. Some white Elks don't affiliate with us. But we will treat them just as we would our brothers. We are not asking their reenforcement. We are not knocking at their door. But, if they will work together, we can educate those things which are contrary to the principles of our order." Mr. Howard was given a tremendous ovation Grand Secretary J. W. Ames, of Detroit, made an encouraging report, submitting these yearly figures: Sixty-one lodge, 740; thirty-nine lodge report an increase of 1,249 members; forty-nine lodge report $7,333 in banks; thirty-two lodge report property to the value of $80,24.85; charity; fifteen lodge report 25 deaths; of the eighty lodge on the roll sixty-one have remitted taxes, some for one, more for two and others for three and four dollars.

The following delegation was sent by Eunrika Johnson, No. 5, Norfolk, Va.; Augustus Johnson, No. 1, Norfolk, Va.; A. Cooke, H. Harper, Walter Johnson and William Nixon. The parade, with 1,000 in line, was a spectacular event. The beautiful costumes, excellent and manly bearing of the uniforms, made a lasting impression upon thousands of pedestrians that lined the line of march. Grand Organizer, Dr. J. E. Miller, conferred the Grand Degree of honor to the chief appointed an arbitration committee, with Dr. J. W. Amis, of Detroit, as chairman to proceed with its conciliatory plans of accomplishing the unification of the two cities.

TO APPEAL TO GOVERNOR Movement to Secure Chemistry for Arthur J. Harris. In the riot of August, 1900, Arthur J. Harris unfortunately took the life of a police officer. The public mind was greatly agitated over the race question Harris was put upon trial in the General Sessions Court for this offense, and was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. The man that the officer whom he slew was not in uniform, and began to assault him with his night stick without sufficient provocation, and that it was then and not until then that Harold Harris was urged as a sufficient punishment in a case where, if his trial had occurred under different circumstances, it is probable that he would not have been punished. Our interest in the case is increased by the fact that it is reported that he is wanting of consumption, superinduced by confinement in prison. We want to appeal to the Governor for the relief to the governor that if the case comes before him in the proper form, it will receive due consideration. To make copies of the record of his trial, and services of a legal nature will require the expiration of at least $150. Whatever contributions may be sent me for this purpose will be acknowledged weekly in the column this paper.

Wella, a white man whose advertisements for a Negro-wife started the community, took the advice to-day of those who threatened him and left town. Wella was anised from his sleep early this morning at his boarding house and after effecting an entrance told him to go. Mrs. Flora Hogg, his landlady, appeared and pleaded with the mob leaders to allege. The advertisements are mine exactly" she told them, "I want this animal out of my house, but I do not sanction your methods of getting him out of town. I ask you out of respect to me to leave him alone. Sixty Children Cared For at Home Which Has Grown Greatly in Ten Years—One Woman's Successful Accomplishments—Help Needed CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 9.—There is a rewarding spirit of helpfulness abroad in the colored race that more and more finds expression in practical efforts to save and protect those amounts we who cannot have and protect themself. "Howler it be, it seems to me, "Tis only noble to be good, Kind hearts are more than corseat, and kindness is more than patience. A few days ago your correspondent had occasion to visit and study the institution known as "The Amanda Smith Institute," a school for children in the prairies ten or twelve miles south of the city limits of Chicago, and under the blue and umbrella sky, and on the outer edge of the village of Harvey. There I encountered the children neatly dressed, comfortably housed and happy under the kindly care of Amanda Smith and her co-workers. These are all children of misfortune, of the kind who have been deafed offspring of unworthy parents, and others of unknown parentage—the unhappy Boston on the sea of life. They are simply the world without anchorment with the great tide of life about them. There are many charitable institutions in Illinois, created and sustained to care for those who cannot care for themselves, and have the necessary requirements of these little ones who carry the burden of an unpopular and hated compulsion in addition to their poverty and homelessness. Thousands of these children in the "black bulls" of the city, but only one woman out of the number was moved by the divine spirit of helpliness. Amanda Smith and her other women amongst us. With her deep religious convictions as to duty she was moved to do something practical for these unfortunate children. Of course, they were not the only ones. Hum, and reared to manhood and womanhood as the finished products of an institutional life and training. Amanda Smith correctly discerned that what these children were doing was more than they paid for, and therefore the institution, however perfect the management might be. One touch of motherly love, or expression of kindly interest however, would have more than they paid for, and therefore the institution could not be completed. Mr. Smith says that she knew she was following a divine command when her conscience told that she must do something to help and improve the lives of these little ones and had no guide except her faith in God. She went out to Harvey and began to prepare a home for the homeless. She not only to consider that she had no money and that she did not believe that what ought to be done to save those children to society and race could be done. For ten years with the help of the United States she worked, prayed and solicited funds until today she has built about these unfortunate little ones an institution that is a home spirit that is a key to behold. One large brick building with about fifteen rooms, two frame cottages, ample ground or garden space, all scrupulously clean and neatly kept and a group of volunteers regularly maintain the emotional life that is altogether unique. The property accumulated during these ten years of conceived work is worth at least $15,000, and is nearly paid for. No aid from city or State, right about now, no liensaired, no fixed sum received from society or institution of any kind. Though it costs nearly five thousand ($5,000) annually to keep this orphan's home, the work is made as if supplied by some heavenly mana. From one end of the country to another, Mrs. Smith has gone with her message of helpfulness for those who can书籍 and preaching are the hearts of men and women the divinity of human kindness in this country and in England and Ireland, are the means used to keep this institution open. Nothing is more important than a manner. The administration of the institution is as carefully attended to as a banking house. In this work Mrs. Smith has the active cooperation of some of the women and colored people, a part of whom donates their services for the good of the cause. As the institution becomes better known its responsibilities increase and applications for admission far exceed the requirements for teachers and equipment in order to properly teach some of the simple trades, such as domestic science, dressmaking, truck gardening, printing, shoe-working, carpentry, and woodworking, faith that all these things will come in good time. In the meantime she wears not nor does wear. One cannot go through this school and home without feeling that she is not a student. She past seventy years of age Mrs. Smith's serene unwrinkled face shows little sign of age or weariness. She is as gracious in manner and speech as a born citizen. She only through her pulpit utterances miss the charm of her personality and the magnetism of her conversation. In all work she wears the smile of confidence and all's right with the world. Her language is as chaste and gentle as native culture, training and contact can be it. You are instantly won by her maffed manner and deep religious sincerity. It is not at all surprising that Lady Somerset of England and other notable women of that and other countries, esteemed it an honor to know her and receive her into their hearts and homes as a profoundly religious, without sanity, a heart of overflowing kindness wholly free from ecstasy, and a fine sense of honor in dealing with things practical, Amanda Smith is a woman whose personality would adorn any race and whose cause must win the hearts of all who cannot ignore the needs of "Christ's little ones."

THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1907 MEMPHIS, Tenn., September 8—The part of the women of the Afro-American race play in the fullest development of the people was never more fully demonstrated than at the recent session of the West Tennessee Baptist Convention here in Memphis. Fully and without夸张ness delivered throughout the entire session were delivered by women prominent in state and national affairs of the Baptist church. The Convention proper instituted an Institute, and as usual with such conventions, was making a special effort to raise three thousand to go towards building a thousand dollars in the thousand dollars is to be raised by the Baptists of Tennessee conditional to receiving another gift of three thousand from the Educational Board of New York. By far the most important address was delivered by Miss Nannie H. Burrough, of Louisville, Ky., the corresponding secretary of the Woman's Auxiliary "The spoke for more than an hour before an audience of about 1,200 people, taking for her theme, "Wake the Negro," and the adjudicator, "Wake the Appalachian Appalachian," was filled with practical and common sense advice to the Negro race, calling attention to many of the shortcomings of the race and polling out the duties of race leaders to reach the people. In the course of her remarks, she deplored the idleness and worthlessness of a large class of Negro boys and girls and expressed the fear that the best efforts of race leaders had not been made, even them. Among other things, she said: "There is more internal than external work to be done. Many of the problems confronted by a current medicine remedies nor external help, but by the Negro himself. Many of the evils that exist may be eradicated by the Negro's own efforts, and it is well to learn in this meeting how to deal with these internal problems. Education is the only hope, but it must be a correct education. The Negro must be educated, not because he is a Negro, but because he is a man and is expected to fill a "There are many of us," she said, "who do not know the purpose of an education. We think it is to reach a man educated, and the purpose of education is to wake a man up. The second purpose is to make him work. The South had a practical knowledge of this and if worked out according to the instructions of the North, it will be able to bring great things to pass. There are three things that the South did to the Negro, and as a result this South became more educated. First it woke the Negro up; second, it made the Negro work; third, it brought the Negro in. Shall we not be willing to do as much for our ten million Negroes as the South did for its four million?" The other address of paramount importance was delivered by Mrs. Virginia W. Broughton, the State of Tennessee, and desn of the Bible Department at the A. and M. College, Normal, Alabama. She recounted at length her experience in the World's Sunday School Congress, at Rome, Italy, and it was when making a comparison between the poor of Continental Europe with the conditions of the more privileged that she made her more mobile afterwards. "America, with all its prejudice," mishe she "offers far more advantages to the Negroes than any other country. To tell the truth we must ask. Our opportunities are beyond comparison with those of any other people in a similar condition. We do not begin to realize the opportunities that are before, and what a great chance we have of making them in this great nation. What we have accomplished in forty years is wonderful, and even then, some of us have not half worked. If we work two or three days a week, we will not feel we must lay off the rest of the work. It has become a standing truth on public works that at every barbecue, picnic or excursion, where our people are employed, the employers have jobs so well that no one else can improve upon them. We must learn to look after the interests of the people who employ us and be honest, faithful and industrious. Such a life of work which alone will Dr. T. O. Fuller, President of Howe Institute, made an exhaustive report of the work he did to ensure that he sized its needs. He further emphasized the importance of the ministerial course connected with the institution, stating that the crying man was an educated and lightened clergy. The Women's Auxiliary Convention met at the same time as Flippeus G. Cooper. The women contributed in no mean proportion to the sum total of the amount of money raised for Howe Institute, and their contribution to those of the parent body. Besides the interest in the women's work, Miss Burroughs, Mrs. Broughton and Mrs. Cooper found time to add greatly to the number of strong addresses and strong addresses.

It was many minutes before Dr. Washington could proceed, so long continued was the applause, and frequent were the interruptions, with applause, when he had some fundamental truth. When he had finished, a perfect ovation followed. He was followed, cheered again and again, and all but mobbed by the people in their words, when he had some words of confidence and good will. It was a great sight, and a fit ending to the great week of the Pythian Conclave.

Lightweight Champion Outpoints and Outfights Britt. In Short Order. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9—Joe Gans, the lightweight champion of the world, won a comparatively胜利 over James Britt, the California pugilist, who recently defeated Battling Moon for the title. Moon for five rounds Gans showed that he was easily the master. He outpointed and outfought Britt at all stages, and when the fifth round rang in, he declined to go, declaiming that his belt was not in by coming in contact with Gans' elbow in the preceding round. Referee Jack Welsh, after examining Britt, turned to Gans and was on his way to the bottom. The bettimer was up to 7 in favor of Gans, with a lot of Britt money in evidence. The men got on the scales in the clubhouse at 2:30 a clock, and both scaled the limit, the 133 pounds. The fighters were on the verge of a provision that everything over $35,000 taken in at the gate would be cut up so that they would receive 25 per cent. of that surplus. It was announced that the fighters would be $10,000. There was no talk of fake before the mill, and Gans, it was stated, had wagered $2,000 on his chances. It was estimated that about 15,000 spectators would be enclosure, while 5,000 deadheads looked on from a neighboring hill.

New Management Newly Placed Large stage for Theatrical Performances 15-17-19. Bovor Service Guarantee. State and Federal Authority. Judge Thomas G. Jones is an Alabama Democrat. He was given a place on the Federal Bench by President Roosevelt. He has had an uphill work of it from the start, because he has been brave enough to stand for an impartial administration of the laws. State laws in conflict with Federal laws have trembled when he has got after them. This is notable in the trial of peonage and mob cases which have been called in his court. Congressman Thomas J. Hefflin of the Tuskegee District is now after Judge Jones because of his attitude toward the anti-railroad legislation of Alabama. Will the pestiferous small Congressman catch the big Judge with the Big Stick behind him? Well! Did the rabbit catch the tortoise in the fable? Judge Pritchard, who was also appointed by President Roosevelt, and whose politics are unknown, is also having trouble with North Carolina over conflicting trust-busting legislation. These judges are really Southern Democrats, but they are doing Republican service. The fact is that there must come a readjustment of the divided authority of the Federal Government and the several States. This was made possible and mandatory by the results of the Civil War. There cannot be two supreme heads in the same government. preme Federal Republic is, either a government with sovereign power or it is not. The Democrats claim that it is not. What the Republicans claim has not as yet been made plain in the face of the sun. "Lay on, Macduff" Cuban: Negroes are finding out the truth which our Mr. Fortune pumped into Juan Guilberto Gomez, when he was visiting New York some five years ago, that if they want to boss their job the way to do it is to do it and not allow white Cubans to do it. Mr. Gomez rubbed his Negro hands, walked his Spanish eyes and shrugged his Indian shoulders then, saying: "We will take care of that!" Very good. But have they? A current news dispatch says: The Negro Liberals of Camaguy are in open rebellion against the provincial Liberal committee and are apparently making another step toward another Negro political organization. They have issued a manifesto which reads as follows: "Citizens of color: Open your eyes. Remember we are proved Liberals, whose records are far better than those of many members of the provincial committee. We cannot wish ill to the Liberal party, for despite the offense done us we are disposed to work for the party's triumph. But that triumph must be brought about in such a way that our right, which therefore have been so often trodden upon, Let us declare ourselves in common rebellion against the provincial committee. They want our votes, but they are undemocratic and would prevent us from bettering our condition." Very good. The prophecy of five years ago is getting a head on it, and Guilberto Gomez looks as wise and feels as otherwise now as he did then. Verily, a fall chases pride until the black and yellow in its face gets white, and then it does things. "Lay on, Macduff!" Palestine and Liberia. It is estimated that there are 15,000,000 Jews in the world, some 2,000,000 of them residing in the United States. Some 10,000 of them, it is said, want to go back to Palestine, from which God scourged them, nearly 2,000 years ago. The Jews control the wealth of the world. Those of them in this country dominate all lines of capitalist interests. They have as much opportunity, as much protection of the laws, and as much right to marry and give in marriage as any other of the mixed races here; and they are so mixed in blood everywhere as not to know from what race they came or to what race they go. Now, why do 10,000 of them want to go back to Palestine? Have they lost anything there? Will they fare better there under the Crescent than here under the Cross? Now, there are supposed to be some 10,000,000 Negroes in this country. They own very little of this world's goods. They are as mixed in their blood and as crazy in their head as the Jews, and God's curse also hangs over them in the seed of Ham, which is as badly scattered throughout the world as that of Shem and Japhet. Now, of these 10,000,000 Negroes some 10,000 have their eyes fixed on the Lone Star of Liberia instead of the forty-eight stars of the United States. What is the matter with them? Can't they stand still and saw wood in one place long enough to accumulate as much gold dust as the Jews, and have as result just as much unhappiness? Did Christ come to bring peace or a sword in the lives of men? The Jews of the United States have nothing to gain by going to Palestine. They are doing better here than anywhere else on earth. Equally so, the Negroes of the United States have nothing to gain by going to Africa. They are doing better here than anywhere else on earth. What both these peoples, kindred in blood and heritage, should do is to stand still and count three, while reading the promise God made to Abraham, that in him all his seed should be blessed. Who was Abraham? Where is his seed? Men everywhere are as well off as they would, be anywhere if they would be true to themselves, their neighbors and the dear flag of the nation of whose life they are a part. Josephus. A correspondent of The New York Sun paints Josephus Daniels, of The Raleigh News and Observer as being "as mild a mannered man as ever cut a throat." Perhaps. When Mr. Daniels' part in the campaign that produced the Wilmington slaughter and dispersion afar of God-fearing, law-abiding people is considered, we can be thankful, at least, to him for Chesnutt's "The Marrow of Tradition." In this way a little good has come out of a heap of evil. God rules at Wilmington and Josephus Daniels still lives at Raleigh! In the rotten politics of North Carolina they each play a part. And he laughs best who laughs last. Straws in Kentucky. In discussing Secretary Taft's Lexington address, a Kentucky political prognosticator ventures the prediction that the "race domination" cry, if raised in Kentucky now, would excite the jeers of the country. On the same authority we are assured that "the Negroes are not evincing any special interest, as a race, in this year's State canvass. They are apparently dividing between the two parties, and are thus disarming the hostility which has been held against them by the Democrat hitherto." All of which is replete with significance, if the facts are as stated. Straws show which way the wind blows. Who Pays the Taxes? Greater New York has a mixed population of some 5,000,000 people and spends more than $10,000,000 annually for their education. This is about $60 for each child. In the South the whites claim that they pay all of the school taxes, because they control the agency of production, and that the blacks pay nothing, although they furnish the labor which is the sinews of all production. Capital and labor in the North and West have a like misunderstanding of the fact that the whole business belongs to God, who commanded that men "render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's." And White is Black. A Southern woman has brought suit against a railroad for forcing her into a separate coach because the conductor thought she was black. Is she really black or white? When conductors mix the babies in this fashion where is the Solomon in the South who can say, "I have no Negro blood in me," in pronouncing judgment? Any traveler in the Southern States who will use his eyes will see that most black and yellow people have a white shade in their color, and that most white people have a black shade in theirs. The question of race and color is determined by the inflexible law of time and place. A given environment will produce similarity of character and color of its people. Any way it is twisted, it is dog eat dog. Doctrine of Living Our enterprising fellow Business Leaguer, Mr. E. C. Brown, of Newport News, Va, has made much reputation, and we hope much money, as a real estate operator. We have received the August issue of The Trade Mark, which he publishes to promote his business interests, but it does more than that. Take the following paragraphs from The Trade Mark and digest them: You will never get anywhere if you don't start. There are few difficulties a hustler can't overcome. Perhaps the world owes you a living, but you must be your own collector. Opportunities, like eggs, must be hatched while they are fresh. There is just one kind of property that cannot be stolen from you and that is a piece of the surface of this earth. A man with a small amount of money can make himself rich in ten years if he buys Newport News real estate wisely. Making money really consists of two things, the ability to know a good thing when presented and the courage to grasp it. And this reminds us of the doctrine we have for year laid down in THE AGE, that a dream saved is a dollar made; that a man who wants a job and has no job to give, who praises to borrow a dollar and never has a dollar to lend, will find few to help him; and that most can seek always to make more money and that few seldom seek to spend less money. And truth is truth. They who will may find it. And the wise find it, and the blind find it is not. MUST BE TWICE AS GOOD New Light Thoughts on the Solution of the Race Problem. There is one great problem that is continually ringing in the cars of every white, and black citizens of this country, and that is "What is to be done with the Negro?" or "What is the Negro going to do with himself?" The first of these two questions is the terror of the he had been; if he would be interested in doing good as he had been; if he would not an act in dress, cleanliness would begin to realize that problem is not such a terrible one thing about which I particularly speak is dancing, many of our people dance in say the least. It is lascivious tive and encourages crime a doing. Dancing in a great Secretary Taft, in his recent speech to Kentucky Republicans, argued that the question of so-called Negro domination as a controlling issue with Southern voters, indicated on their part "a lack of sense of proportion." That is a mild way of characterizing it. Obviously the effective use of the cry of Negro domination by Southern political demagogues of both parties, is based upon a lack of confidence in the vaunted theory of white superiority. A superiority that needs so much bolstering up by ways that are dark and tricks that are vain, must have a very flimsy foundation. Senator Joseph W. Bailey, who was a Mississippi Ku-Klux rough rider and marauder before he became a Federal Senator for Texas, was leader of the miserable Democratic minority in the Senate before he got mixed up in Standard Oil, when his reputation went up in smoke. Now Senator Bailey wants to be again the Democratic minority leader as "a vindication." Why not? He is just as good as his fellow-members of the Senate are bad. The Europeans in East Africa, especially the French, are having all the fun they want to overmaster the Moorish inhabitants. These Moors insist that they are not Negroes but Caucasians or other while things. The King of Abyssinia, who is as black as the ace of spades, puts in the same sort of claim. Now, what is the matter with this business of color all over the world? Joe Gans has been in the prize fighting business seventeen years. Having engaged in 104 battles he should have a bank account as big as six figures. But among sports it comes easy and it goes easy. "Over the bill to the poor house" is often the windup of it. It was that way with John L. Sullivan, George Dixon and most of the lesser fistics of their time. The Atlanta Independent makes a vigorous appeal to the Negro voters of Georgia to defeat the ratification of the disfranchisement bill passed by the legislature by paying their taxes, registering and voting against it at the polls. It says that the bill should have been entitled "an act to disfranchise the Negro because he is a Negro." The cotton growers of Georgia, who are all against corporations in restraint of trade, want to limit the production of cotton in order to advance the price of it. This is the usual inconsistency which hedges about the affairs of men. What all Southern farmers should do is to raise more foodstuffs and stock and less cotton. The Kentucky Reporter, published at Owensboro, flies at its masthead as its candidate for President of the United States, Charles W. Fairbanks. Editor Berry is evidently enlisted for a long campaign. Construction Placed Upon War Legis- Intention by Secretary of War. Speaking of the fifteenth amendment in his recent speech made at Lexington, Ky., Secretary Taft said: "The fifteenth amendment does not require that every Negro should vote. All that it requires is that he should not be excluded from voting because he is a Negro. If he lacks educational qualifications, property qualifications or any other qualifications that the State may lawfully impose as a rule of eligibility for its voters, then he may be excluded, provided that every one else who lacks similar qualifications is equally excluded. "The fifteenth amendment is merely intended to secure him his political rights from race discriminations by the States. It is not intended to give him affirmative privileges as a member of his race. Its strict enforcement does not involve an amalgamation of the races; has nothing to do with social association or equality. It does not involve so-called Negro domination and to permit the question at this late day—forty years after the war—to control the votes of intelligent men in respect to issues that are living and that effect their welfare is to indicate on their part a lack of sense of proportion, which, I cannot think, will continue to manifest itself among the voters of the South." Bryan and the Best Problem. The Milwaukee Sentiment (Rep.) looks with suspicion on an ominous silence of a talkative man. "Mr. Bryan," says the Sentiment, "should be required to say plainly where he stands on his southern race problem that Mr. Taft dealt with frankly at Lexington. If he is banking on gaining the colored vote by maintaining a discreet silence, so as to sneak that vote away from Mr. Taft without further alienating the South, that game should be blocked. Northern Negroes and southern Democrats should make Mr. Bryan believe on himself. He has been Bryan close on all other questions. If Mr. Taft desires to put Mr. Bryan in a hole, a favorable opportunity now presents itself. He should be requested to speak on this race problem. The Solid South would prick up its ears for the answer." MUST BE TUKE AS GOOD There is one great problem that is continually ringing in the ears of every white and black citizens of this country, and that is "What is to be done with the Negro?" or "What is the Negro going to do with himself?" The first of these two questions is the terror of the white race, and the second is what, in my opinion, ought to be the tenor of the expressions of the Negro race. This is, perhaps, the broadest matter that has ever come under the consideration of the citizens of America, and one of which many, many different views may be taken. I wish to therefore state in the beginning that the matter concerned herein is simply what is most important in the mind of the writer, after a careful study of the situation. Referring to the first one of the above two questions, I do not think that it is necessary for me to linger long in its analysis, for most of us have long known what the majority of our white brethren would like to do with the Negro. We see some of our white brother's ideas illustrated broadly in many ways, such as the "Jim Crow" Law, segregation in schools, churches, theatres, etc., daily insults to both Negro men and women, lynchings, and many other humiliating and embarrassing situations to which they subject the members of our race, showing only too clearly that white majority will to keep the Negro in slavery in the place of a common animal as possible, in an unending reign of terror, as it were, in a state where the Negro will in time not think of his rights or privileges, but of whether he is going to be allowed to live the day out. But, is the Negro going to allow himself to be brought to the state which I claim the majority of the white race wants him to be brought? Is he going to allow himself to be subjected to the treatment which might be in store for him under certain conditions? Of course not. Well, how is he going to prevent it? And it is here that I come to the second question, and the one upon which I am going to put the stress, "What is the Negro going to do with himself?" or, we might say "for himself?" For I claim that we have got to fight this matter out for ourselves. We are all too willing to wait to see what the white man is going to do for us. And we therefore hum and haw and meditate and complain first about one thing and then another, which all, may justly be, but what we have got to do is, to rise up ourselves and cut our way before our enemies this maze of injustice before our enemies has taken place. In other words, we have got to solve the Negro Problem ourselves. As to how this can best be done, I shall set forth herafter the best way, in my opinion, to relieve the present situation. Our first step in this solution is to raise our moral standing. I well remember my first trips to the little country schoolhouse where I used to attend, and of how my father used to call me to his way. "Now son, always remember this. That to get as good marks as the white boys, you have got to be twice as smart as they are." How truly that statement was proved to me before I got through school. And since we have moral standing in this country, We have got twice as good a moral standing as a nation in this country, as our white brethren, before we will gain a respect equal to them. Now, some one may say "Why is it that we have to look to the white folks forrespect?" "It is this: They hold the reins to our success. They were here first. We have got to make ourselves solid with them before they will entrust some of the reins to our hands. They control the railroads, banks, mills, factories, etc. This is the point toward which I am going in trying to point out the way to this solution. Then, I say again, we have got to get a real that will have to be recognized by our who hold the key to the situation, as being far above the respect which they have attained in these many years of opportunities. An investigation as to the number of Negro criminals in the jails of this country will be surprising to my reader. Take the City of Washington for example, and the same is true in nearly every other city. In the City of Washington, which is supposed to represent the society, both white and colored, a person figures representing people who have been charged crime, disorder, etc. will show the Negro percentage far in excess of the white, in relation to the proportion of Negro and white population. I will try to make this plainer. We will say for illustration, that the inhabitants of Washington, outside of the jails, number eight, of which two, or one-fourth are Negroes. The inmates of jails but I claim that one-half, or two will be Negroes. The Negro crime is greater than the white crime, in proportion to their respective situations, when, to insure racial progress, it should be only one-half as great, in proportion to the respective populations. If every Negro remembered that when he or she got drunk, created a disorder, or committed an assault, etc., that he or she was making it twice as hard for the ones who did not do these things, then we would see a great change in the progress of our race. Do we we know it truth in that when a Negro commits assault in some town, the whole inhabitation not only seek to destroy him, but become injured. Negroes whom they chance to see at the time, and are ready and willing to take immediate revenge on him, although he entirely innocent of any wrong doing. If every Negro man or woman who is in the habit of carrying home a pail of beer two or three times a day, or even once a day would realize that he she was making it twice as hard for the one who try to maintain a respectable standard, and would desist from such a practice, would then begin to see the struggle of the Negro race become much easier. But I never one say "The white people do these things why not we?" Let me again remind you that the white people are the ones who hold the entire power as yet. If every Negro man who has been guilty of swearing would do one-quarter the amount of swearing that he has been doing, until he did not do any; if he would begin to carry himself twice as erect and businesslike on the street as he had been; if he would become, twice as interested in doing good for his race as he had been; if he would be twice an act in dres, claustroes, etc., we would begin to realize that the Negro problem is not such a terrible one. One thing about which I desire to particularly speak is dancing. The way many of our people dance is vulgar, to say the least. It is lacivious and seductive and encourages crime and wrongdoing. Dancing is a great pleasure. I enjoy dancing myself, but rather than to see the majority of our race indulge in it, I would desire myself and advise every other Negro person to do so until they thought they could indulge therein in a respectable way. In pointing out the above few things I do not wish to convey the thought that I believe our white brethren do not do just as bad; for they do. But what I want to impress upon you is that we have got to raise our moral standing to a plane that is far superior to theirs. Let us next, for a moment, consider the educational side of the progress of our race. I do not think much need be said with regard to the educative movement of the Negro schools and colleges toward the upift of the race, is marvelous, to say the least, and every Negro ought to take great pride in pointing out the Negro institutions and men turned out therefrom who are doing a great and magnificent work towards the betterment of the race. But, my friends, let me again call to your attention the fact that the great immorality of the race offsets many of the good things done in our educative systems. Education can do nothing where there is a low, moral standing. A graduate from the highest college in this country can do nothing good for the people, if he has no more trouble for them, than he can get drunk, or even slander his neighbor. Though education has done and is doing great things, it would do as much good again if the race had reached the highest plane of morality. I will sum up in the concluding factors in the solution of the race question a number of things, such as stealthiness in work, a natural desire for bet. things, co-operation, control of business enterprises. Let us as individuals be steady in our working habits, manner, and in all the things that may come to the notice of our white brother. Let us aim at the highest in each thing that we attempt, and then, if we do fall a little short of the mark, as some of us will, we will have done some good toward this great end which I have been discussing. Let us join hands and stick together; all for one and one for all, and we establish business, himself, let us publish it in the way possible, while he, on the other hand, aims at the highest and best in his business. Let us continually stand hand in hand, remembering Benjamin Franklin's words when the American Colonies are threatened with distaster, "In union there is strength." Let us be saving, economical and ambitious that we may, in time, gain control of large business enterprises, such as manufactories, car lines, railroads, mines, banks, and many other propositions that our white brother has successfully operated and controlled. We will then be getting him dependent upon us for certain things. And when this dependence grows, as it must, will he then want to get rid of us? No, he will gladly join hands and welcome us as factors in the progress of the world in the world. And we can do all of these things if each of us fully realizes the great obligation that is thrust upon him, to establish and maintain an unprecedented honor in his race, and does his功劳, faithfully, sturdily and敬佩fully, always trusting in God who will withhold no good thing from those who walk uprightly. KARL F. PHILLIPS. Washington, D. C. Sept. 3, 1907. RAVAGES OF THE SALOON. It is Demoralizing the Women of the Race in the South As in the North. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE: Noticing your editorial of August 1 in THE ACE, I judge that THE ACE is opposed to the traffic in liquors, and hence I am writing you about the same. For a great many years the whites have been hard at work against the saloon and, of course, I need not mention here the results, for you know more about it than I. But the women of the race are anxious for this great reform to speedily win. We remember that Ray Stannard Baker in The American for June said there were 3,000 colored women arrayed before the police court of women lost genders and most cases, ravelled out led back to the saloon. He discovered what many of the women of the race have been lamenting all along, that the saloon is making itself tell more upon the weaker of the two great races in this country, and most deplorably so. We are trying to get space in every National paper possible to present our cause to the public. The liquor organizations buy some of the leading men to defend it during the prohibition campaigns, and buy voters for the asking in many counties in this State, and knowing that there are some other States where the same class of people are, I am trying to reach many of our leading men and women that in a small degree this evil may be stopped. We never see in the cities of the South, American white women and children in an intoxicated condition or carrying beer pails through the streets. We do commonly see our own doing so. We do not mean to say that there are not possibly a greater number of white women of ill repute in the South; we are not prepared to give an opinion on that, but we do know that that class of women are segregated, and not allowed on the streets openly. Not so with ours. However, we would work the same even if all the white women were more public in their disorderly way of living than our unfortunate class. The Sunday School Mohitor, Nashville, and the National Baptist Union, published at the same place, give us free space to plead before the bar of public opinion for the women and children of the land, and most particularly our own, since we are suffering most in the South. I wish to apologize for this blundering letter, but hope THE Age can contribute space for our cause to be presented through its columns. Yours respectfully. (Mrs.) F. E. PETRSON. Tarkaark, Arkansas. September 4th Mr. Mevin J. Chisum, the well-known real estate operator, who in 1803 published The Impending Conduct, a magazine, which he was obliged to stop publishing for lack of funds after the fourth issue, leaving him indebted to a number of subscribers and others, has added to indebtedness incurred. Following is the increase to each subscriber, and also an editorial from the Yonkers Standard referring to Mr. Chisum's action: "My Dear Sir--You may remember having subscribed for The Impending Conflict, a magazine, which I published in 1903, and of which my friend, the Hon. John Edward Bruce, that matchless publicist, was the editor. The running expenses of the publication, being so much greater than the income, it led after its fourth issue, because I had enough money to continue it; I having spent every dollar it had in the world and all that had been paid in for subscriptions and advertisements, it was impossible for me to then make any practical return to the public of what it had paid to advance our efforts. "All the money which I had collected and all my savings having gone to the winds in that venture, I began life anew December, 1903, and at this writing, am paying back the last remaining indebtedness which stood against that enterprise; in the form of returning the subscribers (which numbered two hundred and seventy-one persons) each their money. Enclosed please find my check, drawn your order for the amount you paid, your help you with all of my heart for the help then gave me. Most respectfully yours." "MELINN J. CHISUM." The editorial from Yonkers Standard is as follows: "Melvin J. Chisum, president of the Great Northern Realty Company, one of the very few Negro enterprises in New York city which is actually making good, has recently pleased his friends and surprised his acquaintances by proving that he is the soul of honor and an upright business man, which his friends new and never doubted, by paying dollar for dollar to the advertisers and subscribers and by the fact, a periodical which he established in New York city some three or four years ago, with which the editor of this paper was associated as managing editor. Thus far Mr. Chisum has paid well onto $1,000 of the obligations incurred by him as publisher of that magazine for the success of which he worked as hard as any man possibly could. The time and energy which Mr. Chisum expended in efforts to build up this periodical may be said to have been wasted. The colored people did not appreciate the venture, the energy they mean nothing when not reinforced with debt. The few who did subscribe were not enough to assure the continuance of the enterprise, and it was very wisely suspended. But Mr. Chisum rested under a sense of obligation to those who loyally responded to his appeals for support, and was not content until every dollar paid into the concern was paid back to the subscribers and advertisers, each of whom have within the past six months received his personal check. Whatever they may say of Melvin J. Chisum, they cannot believe that man honest, 'An honest man is the work of God,' and our friend Chisum is a splendid example of His workmanship. "The Great Northern Realty Company, of which Mr. Chisum is president, has not as yet made any noise in New York; it has been too busy making money to do that. The company is composed of bright young men, who are assiduously devoting themselves to the business in hand, under the masterful guidance of their plucky young president, and it will be heard from in no uncertain manner in the near future. It has purchased a tract of land in Flushing, L. L, and plans have already been drawn for five two-family houses, with all modern improvements, to respect relationships and families. The company also leases and sublets apartment houses in various parts of New York city, which are occupied by colored tenants. Later on we shall have more to say of this company and its progressive president, whom we are not ashamed or afraid to call our friend. We know him and we like him, because he is an honest man and a loyal friend." ODD FELLOWS MEET. Session of Grand United Order Held in Montclair. MONTCLAIR, Sept. 9.

For McClure's Magazine for September Carl Scharn has the following in may of 2014: On the lst and 10th of October my command arrived at Bridgesport, Ala., on the Tennessee River. One of my first duties was to acquaint myself with the country and the acquiring parties I led myself, and it was on these occasions that I first came into personal contact with the population of that hill region of Northern Alabama, and hence the acquiring parties. I had met Southern country people in Virginia and Maryland, and had been astonished at the ignorance of many of them as to what among the rural people were common knowledge. But my experiences in my surroundings were far more astonishing. Not far from my encampment I came upon a farmhouse inhabited by a family of children. He was by no means a poor man, for, as he told me, he owned several hundred acres of land. But he lived in a loghouse, the central part of which opened on the right and on the left, with mud chimneys, and with chinks between the logs so imperfectly filled that the wind could pass through freely. There hardly anything inside worthy of the name, and writing was unknown in the family, except, perhaps, from hearay. The children were dirty, ragged, and, of course, barefooted, sharing the freedom of the family with dogs and other domestic animals. The farmer seemed to be a good-natured person, but my conversations with him disclosed an almost incredible depth of ignorance. Of the country in which he lived, and of our lousy conception, he asked me where all "these people," meaning my soldiers, came from. When I told him they came from New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, and Boston, he was very much in love. Of New York, a "monstrous big town" so far away that it would take several weeks' travel to get there. He asked me how many people might live there, but when I asked him, he understood me to say seven thousand, and threw up his hands in amusement and exclaimed: "Lord, seven thousand people in one place! That place must be bigger than Chattanooga. He had baked bread and the eggs he eled around the sun; but he could not believe it. Did he not see the sun rising every morning on one side of him and travel to the other side where it set in a morning. He cherished some religious notions and cared which were larger countries and from it tainted exhortations, which he had received from definite imagining of heavens and hell. He had also heard something about the earth, which there were larger countries with older people in thent, and he was struck dumb with wonder and amusement, looking me over with a sort of punished curiosity, when I told him that I and many of my friends had been born in one of those countries on the other side of the great water. But I had another experience if possible still more astonishing. On one of my rides I found a lonely log cab in a woman's room and a small新能源汽车 was rounded by a lively flock-of-flaps-shares-a-children, some six or seven of them of various ages. Being thirsty, I rode up to ask her for a drink of water, which is a very good one from a south from well bucket, but never is a sound from a smile and a few words in the local dialect which I did not understand. Although poorly, I did not understand. She looked the other clear and barefooted, she was a child who had a widely been washed that day. She appeared to be about thirty-five years old, and the expression of her face was pleasant, frank, and de-dotted, and she, her whether, these were her children. She was "I look up to me," looking around at them with an expression of obvious pride and pleasure. How many children had she?—Thirteen. Some were in the field, the other ones. Where we were there and? In the city's "Huntland" she had no husband. Was she dead, leaving her alone with so many children? Without the slightest embarrassment she answered that she never had any anything to do with her response to me further question whether she really had never been married, she simply shook her head with an expression, not of vezatio but rather of surprise, as if she did n't have much much might mean. Left her, a greatly puzzled. When I met my friend the old farmer again, I asked him about her. He replied that she was a very decent and industrious woman. She took good care of her children, after that there were several such cases around I do not mean to say that those cases portrayed the general state of civilization in a large tract of country. In some of these cases, I found people quite illiterate, indeed, but I believed that far more advanced and more conversant with the moralities of civilized society. But, even among them, instances such as I have described appeared sporadically, and the instances they represented the rule. What most of me was that such people were mostly of pure Anglo-Saxon stock, here and there interspersed with Scotch-Irish, and there demonstrating that the element of race determines the progressive capacities or tendencies of a population, but that even the most vigorous races may stumble in their development to the disaffected. These people in their seclusion were simply left behind by the progressive movements going on at a distance. Insurance Agents Go On Strike In Atlanta. From The Atlanta Independent. While the telegraphers are striking the colorful letters that would take a hand. All of the Union Mutual's agents, the largest Negro company in the city, walked out Monday and demanded 35 per cent, of every dollar they would take them but a day to force the company to beg a compromise at 30 per cent. Now the policyholders may look out; bombarded they have to pay the arbitrary taxes. Nick Skimmed and death crimes turned down in order to make up the additional per cent of the agents. Any set of officers who would come to their collection office put out of business. The situation narrows down to this proposition: The Negro industrial insurance societies are being operated for the benefit of agents and officers in the business. The agents' and officers' pay is never turned down, but the companies are daily turning down sick and death claims of the officers, but what else could come when the agents and officers enter into an agreement by which they are to take for themselves at least 50 per cent of the gross earnings of a company. The policyholders who would take the company to the receiver have no rights when the agents and the officers decide to divide up. Getting Close to Art. An old lady, landing up the Thames seemly, said to Whistler, "The whip trip along the river was like a see your superb etchings." "Yes," he plied, "nature is creeping up."— Heart Review. 12. London Bay Convention at New Havens in Bristol Attachee—Large Attendance. New Haven, Sept. 8.—The Convention of the New England Odd Fellows of the G. U. O. of O. convened in this Monday (Labor Day), in honor of Christian Star Lodge, No. 1484, G. U. O. F. The success of the convention was somewhat retarded by a slight rainfall, although it had caused the main at 3 o'clock. Boston and Providence people, who came down about 250 departed, said it was a shame to have quoted that part of the programme. All along the line of march the display of donations was magnificent, and never before did the crowd in accompanying houses and business places as on this occasion. Still this cordial welcome to march through the streets was defeated. The convention opened at 10 A. M. in Monastic Temple Webster, with George M. Prout, of Providence, on behalf held in which business was expedited, and it was voted to hold the next convention in Boston, on Labor Day, 1906. The reception and promenade was held at Music Hall, Court street. The hall was packed. His Honor, Mayor John P. Studley, the most beautiful man in the city, hastily received, after which Dr. I. N. Porter, master of ceremonies, oculistically introduced W. L. Houston, of Washington, D. C., grand master of the G. U. O. of F. O. of America, who spoke in part as follows: The Grand United States Oversee F. F. based on the strongest order owned, controlled and operated by the race, and covers territory that is not confined to the United States, but embraces Australia, Bahama Islands, the West Indies and regiment lodges in the Philippines. The G. U. O. of F. F. based on the white Odd Fellows, of Manchester, England, from whom dis-公介ions are still received and delegated exchanged. In 1843 the first lodge was established in New York city by Peter Ogden, and in the sixty-four years of life the order has secured 325 years of service in 100 hospitals two years expending $25,200 for sick and funeral expenses, and funds are $3,200,000." Mr. Houston announced that there is now being erected in Philadelphia, in the heart of the city, the national headquarters, a structure to cost $120,000, which will be dedicated January, 1908. He further stated that the school will be for the sick and bury the dead. This was the scope for many years, but just as the thoughts of men are widened with the process of the sun, so the order came to realize there were other duties to perform. The members voluntarily extended the duties to feature peculiar to this body. There is the savings bank feature, operated by many lodges. In Virginia a number of grocery stores are kept in existence and managed by the Odd Fellows. In Maryland, where the school term was reduced, they fitted itself independently to maintain schools for their children an additional four months. In Kentucky a body has recently bought a tract of land, named it the Odd Fellows community, and is selling to members on easy monthly payments. Paper and subscription Plans being laid for a regular department, which will provide cloth for uniforms. Following the speeches, the grand march, under the charming strains of Murray's full orchestra, was led by Grand Master William L. Housen and lady. The big mass of humanity made one circuit around the hall, when robbers entered the room, who once executed thirty-six members, which lasted until 4 A.M. Forty swords of the Massachusetts patriarchies were here, together with 150 regular members; from Rhode Island, 140, and delegates were welcomed from New York and New Jersey. The New England patriarchies also held the seventh regiment. This is the highest branch of the order, wearing distinctive uniforms. The delegates, including the visitors, numbered about 900 people. The entertainment was one of the biggest in a decade, and its success rebounds to the top. The delegates included: E. B. Howell, chairman; W. H. wimbush, secretary; J. W. Pugh, treasurer; J. W. Merriman, F. A. Hendrickson, H. W. Williams, E. Butler, C. B. Johnson, E. J. Williams, G. A. Pickett, H. I. Hickman, W. J. Sawyers, with J. H. Sawyers, J. E. Saunders, or their earnest and faithful assistance the ladies of the household come in for good part of the praise. Of Past District Grand Master Joseph H. Pierce, of Old Fellows of Providence, K. Pierce was a delegate from West Virginia to the convention. While here he was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. William I. Cummings, 187 Goffe street. Mr. Pierce was formerly a resident of this city and an old friend of your correspondent, with whom he dined. It has been nine years since he met in the recital of reminiscences of old. Prof. J. D. Baltimore, of the Armstrong Training School, Washington, D. C., and Miss Jennie Anderson, a teacher, of Washington, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. B. O. McIntyre last week. Mrs. James Felton, of 14 Eaton, and Mr. Robert Felton, of five weeks to her former home, Norfolk. Vs. Her son, Mr. S. A. Fagan, accompanied her, after six months' stay in Norfolk. The former's husband, Mr. James Felton, left last week to visit relatives in Norfolk. Mrs. Laura Mero, of Providence, spent Labor day week with Mrs. Jane Crawford. D. M. FENDERSON. PLAYGROUNDS IN ST. LOUIS. Vacation Movement That Has Proved of Great Benefit. St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 9.—The vacation playground supported by the St. Louis Playground Association, for Negro children, were closed last month. These playgrounds, one of which is located on Tenth street, near Carr, and the other at Twenty-third and Pine streets, have both been well patronized by the children of the localities in which they are situated, and have proved a great benefit to the community. Three teachers, selected from the best trained and educated instructors of the race, are kept employed throughout the entire summer at each of these grounds, and Mrs. E. A. De Wolf, president of the association, said that the work accomplished by these teachers had proved highly satisfactory. The officers of the association are Mrs. M. A. De Wolf, president; Dwight F. Craig, vice-president; Mrs. Mark F. Holland, secretary; George O. Carpurn, secretary; H. F. Levy, Holph Dray, Dreugen, Wilson, H. G. Ireland and Charles Rice, executive director. Fasting work of the St. Louis Playground her petition which is the only one that is in a Negro playgrounds, is purely Mary noble. moon St. Thrilling Speech.

The attached clipping conveys to the reading and intelligent man of the North an impression calculated to do great injury to a race against which there exists an inveterate prejudice and lukewarm hatred born have spurred with contempt and manfully withstood its offers of belting made by the "boodle managers" from 1876 to 1904 and have refused to be purchased by the promise of office or the gift of money. The Negro delegation to the National Republican Congress being acted with more honor, have displayed more conscientious scrupul, have seen less purchasable than their brothers in white from the North and other sections of the country, who have endeavored to use them as tools, who have sold them as the Nation's property, and being able to deliver them—and pocketed the money. The Republican State League of Georgia is by far the strongest Republican organisation in Georgia and represents the best element of the party, the champion of the rights of the great mass of the people, regardless of race or color. That the Negroes are ravished is the financial mass of the unqualifiedly false. He has to-day—when disfranchisement is confounding him in the home of his nativity, when his white brethren of the North and West who fought so gallantly to accomplish his emancipation and enfranchisement are pursuing him with an unrelenting hatred, fanned into existence by the persecution of facts and the infamous acts of the terrorists, who terrorized the tel and his vote purchasable—a great appreciation of the right of suffrage and the enjoyment of the right of human equality before the law. During tl. days of reconstruction the "carpetbagger" and not the Negroes debauched political affairs and reaped the benefits, if any there were, of "footing the treasuries of the various Southern States." The white Republicans of the North, aided by a few mercenary and unscrupulous henchmen of the South, are the men who are now and who have been always the purchasable party. Enjoying the blind confidence of the Negro, these men have been the again for large sums of money, for the promise of lucrative appointments and the dissemination of Federal patronage. No man has made a larger bid for the purchasable and mercenary element of the Southern Republicans than has Theodore Roosevelt and his man Friday, the Hon. William H. Taft, Secretary of War, whose name in my opinion, will be remembered for his leadership and Republican convention as a candidate for the nomination. President, but who is expected to round, up the delegates by a campaign backed by Federal patronage and an abundance of money and secure for his friend and benefactor, Theodore Roosevelt, the nomination for a third term, is successfully accomplished the people should regard this great regardless of party lines and defeat this "Grand Old Party" at the polls. This league is making its fight to build a strong, representative and active party, endeavoring to demonstrate the fact that we have had no Republican party in Georgia for the last thirty years. We have done this without boodle, without a lack of enthusiasm, not a member of this league. All offers of assistance this league has received have come from the mercenary henchmen and political tricksters whom Roosevelt's Administration and the National Committee recognize as the Republican organization of Georgia. This league has been persecuted for protesting the views of the people we are backing it. We will always be found fighting Roosevelt and his dictation. We need no Roosevelt, no Taft, no Booker T. Washington. T. M. BLODGETT, Chairman of Republican State League of Georgia. Atlanta, Ga., September 2. LABOR DAY AT ASBURY PARK. Annual Hop of Whitehead Honor Fliee Affair—Many Guerta.

P. Roe, of Richmond, is visiting in Hot Springs, Mine Emma Cox arrived Thursday from Saintoga, N. Y., arrived in town Friday. The result of the game Monday between Clifton Forge and the Giants, was a foremost conclusion, not because of any apparent reason in the personnel of the respective teams, but because of the effort of the Giants in evidence all summer whenever the Giants, played, no matter where everybody believed that they would not only win the game, but would also win the game Tuesday, almost to a man. Johnny Giants, who had been the best in game. His curves were not only deceptive, but they had a funny trick of suddenly attaining lightning-like speed as the ball approached the disc, much to the bewilderment of the Clifton Giants. The Hon. Main, Chief, and Queen of the Hill and Virginia Hot Springs unpired—prominence has probably not been given this potential before because we did not see the halo around his head as it appeared to-day in the role of "The Merciful Judge." He was magnanimous, but he was not the only truck driver in the treatment of the visitors, all of which was due to his "home training" not a few years ago. The incident in question happened in this manner: Up to the third inning, as regularly as the Clifton Giants had been, he was very much excited, and in trying to safely take one more base, was not in a frame of mind to regard any other player as a tender manner. And in this mood he bore down to third like a hunted stag, and as a result, "Mead Sperlock," third baseman, was carried from the field in a semi-conscious conflation. Immediately the ground, and a little out of room, demanded that the Cliftonites be ruled out of the game. But the "Ion, Gull," would have none of it, and flouting all demands, being assisted by the moral effect of his ample and muscular proportions, insisted that the game proceed according to the direc-tion of the gameman, and gave it defending with the score 5-4, in favor of the Giants. Tuesday saw the Giants manued in a way the like of which has not been in a long time—certainly not this season. The home batteryaid well, but they could not win, the visitors had little difficulty in getting the win, and the fancy. The game ended in the Giants complete defeat, score 12-5. USKLESS "TO CHEW THE RAG." Answer Postmaster Ackermann Makes to Complaints. ORANGE, Sept. 10. It seems as though the delivery of mail in some sections of Orange is very poor. At the monthly meeting of the Specific Brotherhood on the 7th, in the Y. M. C. A. building, several complaints were made because of the lack of mail. Two subscribers to THE NEW YORK AGE said their papers had not been received in two weeks, and had been held at the postoffice.

Brennall Content By defeating the Prospects, 8 to 3, at Adelphi Field Saturday, the Eastern District team gave the Carlton second place in the fight for the Eagle pennant in the Y. M. C. A. League. The game was closely contested, a pitcher's battle up to the ninth inning, when the Eastern District team scored a pair of hits and by the aid of two errors on the part of the Prospects and some excellent base running, scored four runs. The first tally was the result of two errors, a steal and a long fly, while a bunching of hits and a bad throw accounted for the others. All of the Prospect runs were earned, Dowdy's three-lagger scoring a first after a long run, a great running catch in deep left was a feature, as was the fast work of Fischer and Gowdy. AEROSPHERE OF NEW. A. J. CAMPBELL. Mobile Interpolating Tables of Sunday Interpolations N. 1-10. As early as half-past three o'clock men began gathering at the rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association last Sunday afternoon, in order that they might be on time to witness the beginning of the exercise which were to take place the next day. We were treated recent. Dr. Tory Rumell, Professor Cumberbott, Professor Small, Mr. Shaw, representing the Y. M. C. A. of Columbus, Ga., and others, were on the platform. The speaker was Rev. A. C. Campbell, the pastor of the Hisbent church. "Men of All Lands," Dr. Campbell's position has afforded him splendid opportunity of coming in close contact with people from every corner of the world, and his broad, Catholic spirit has made him a man of great importance. His address was strong and forceful, and made a deep impression upon those present. He told of the hundreds of thousands who come to these shores every year, the conditions from which they are affected. "You wonder," said he, "what the Government is going to do with these people, and how they are to be provided for. By way of enlistment let us take the State of Texas. In traveling through the country, we are to be called to the names of the Texas towns. Now we have about eighty millions of people in America, and yet it is estimated that the State of Texas alone, were all her resources developed, could support the emigrants. Where, then, is the problem arising from the coming of the immigrant? "During the recent wave of crime that swept over our city," continued the speaker, "a man of high rank declared that he was the victim of a crime. It never was a statement more false. Admitting that there are some dangerous Italians and Sicilians, it by no means follows that all, or even a large per cent, of the victims has suffered so much from hostile and unfriendly criticism of that kind, should do all in its power to see that justice is done other races who are similarly misrepresented." All he knew all he could be left to lose and true justice. Dr. York Russell highly compliments Father Campbellson, his remarkable address, and commended the spirit of it "His presence here to-day," said the doctor, "and his able and sympathetic advice to the students against the race." He said that the strength of the white race was that whether individuals were Frenchmen or Germans, Englishmen or Spaniards, they were all white men first of all. The colony was so large that he said he "and learn to forget those minor differences that now divide them." The audience rose and sang "My Country, Tis of Thee," and adjourned. Next Sunday afternoon a meeting promises to one of unanimous interest. Lawyer E. A. Lillis will speak at the Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C. author and scholar, will be the speaker. Madame Marie Solika, for many years the sweetest songstress of the race, will sing several selections. Mr. Engene A. Jack, will preside, piano.

TUSCADOSA, Ala., Sept. 9 — Eleven thousand dollars for Miles Memorial College, located at Birmingham, in one effort is the record-breaking achievement of the Afro-Americans of Alabama in the Colored Methodist Episcopal church, where they have been here most recent week. This represents the largest effort ever made by Afro-Americans of the South to collect money for their own education, and the fact that such a large amount of money could be secured from the meagre purses of the people speaks volumes for the willing, Southern black people to help themselves. Bishop R. S. Williams, of Augusta, Ga., the bishop of the diocese in which Miles Memorial College is located, led the hosts of black people in this State to this accomplishment simply by showing them the action in order that a creditable church institution might be erected in Alabama. From every presiding elder's district and from every minister came money that represented the hardest difficulties in their earning and the sheerest sacrifice on their part. The grain was rendered during the week of the concession, addresses being delivered by Bishop Isaac Lane, Dr. James A. Bray, Dr. John W. Gilbert, Dr. C. H. Tohins, Dr. N. C. Cleaves, Dr. J. D. Humphrey, secretary of education, M. T. Hammond, the total amount of money in actual cash contributed at the concession was $11,344.49. Of this amount the ministers themselves, in the two Albaunah conferences, contributed $1,117. Prof. James A. Bray, president Lane College, Jackson Township, Miles Memorial College, and will take charge of the work us soon as he can be released from his duties at Jackson, Miles Memorial College has been recently removed from Baker City to Birmingham and now enters upon an epoch in its history, with the events of pith and moment in connection with the milft of the youth in that great church.

At Sultzer's Harlem River Casino, on Thursday, the August 29, 2010, Prof. Minus gave a lecture on the season's functions have equaled either in size or in success. As this was the Professor's first picnic, he was not only the large attendance with which he was rewarded. As the popular Mount Calvary Commandment gave its twelfth annual picnic, the same evening at the Manhattan Theater, the Professor's entertainment was that nearly three thousand people attended at Sultzer's Casino. A novel feature of the Professor's entertainment was the performance of a unique feature of this dance, which was the Professor's own suggestion, was the blending of colors, yellow, green, red, white and blue — something never seen before. The performance was for the large thong by the popular New Amsterdam Orchestra, under the direction of Prof. B. Wise. The enthusiasm of the band to play it never did before. At I o'clock Prof Moses M. Minus, with a meat, well-chosen speech, presented Prof. Riker, of the New Amsterdam Musical Association, with a beautiful silver march, led by Prof. Minus, who was marched by the following committee marching up to the east end of the ball: Mr. John A. Smith, of the Ivanhow Commandery; Irman Lodge, F. and A.M. and Solomon Lodge, F. and A.M. of the Elks and the Consistency; Mr. Mr. Hardin, Mr. Denven and Mr. Hargrave. The immense throng damned away until the first faint streaks of dawn appeared in the east, when they broke up and, worn home, while the orchestra bade the sweet strains of "Home, Sweet Home."

Editor Gray on Race Newspapers From The Houston Writer Southern Negroes have no reputable race papers in the proper sense of the term, simply because they will not support that kind of paper. It is a common thing to hear Negroes praise about the race of their paper, but experience proves one and both of two mean things respecting more than half such Negroes, to wit: (1) they will pay nothing for a clean newspaper, and (2) they will inspire any race newspaper, and (3) they will direct of things. They play ends against the middle and against one another. JUST OPENED--Two new houses, 361 and 363. West 15th Street. Apartments two back rooms, tube and bath, rent, $13.

JIM CROW RAILROADS Train Crews of Southern Roads Cause Trouble PASSENGERS GET EVEN Unjust, Unnecessary and Brutal Treatment Restored—Instances Showing which Way the Wind Blows—Time to Call a Halt NOUROLK, Sept. 7.—The Afro-Americans are taking advantage of their trip to the Jamestown Exposition by excursion to Washington. Over 800 excursionists ran up one day last week. The eleven Spaniards, who, it is charged, were made at the muzzle of a gun two-weeks ago to take the plaque of the strikera at Arvonia, Va., and wore the slate quarries, will carry the affair to the Spanish Legation in Washington. Let it be married. Judge Alton B. Parker, of New York, says he has no more aspirations for the Presidency after his defeat in 1904. No sensible person would think he has, after the terrible debubbling that President Roosevelt gave him, and the fun that he did not carry a Northern State. Will Bryan now blow his final shot? If one is still enough to believe the Associated Press in the South, the Negro is always in fault in a race riot. The white man is as harmless as a dove. On the 2d inst., on the Southern Railway train, near Rapidan, Va., the news is that a crowd of Negroes boarded the train and decided to ignore the Crow law of Virginia for steering and riding in the crowded for the use of white people. Who believes it? Rowdy Negroes, dirtly dressed, would not dare do so, and sensible Negroes, tidily dressed, knowing that they have everything to lose in law and nothing to gain if they violate the Jim Crow law, do not venture any more. But the report says the conductor demonstrated with them. Of course! He must have had advice. Then, it is said, the crew with his crew which name the fireman, engineer, boatman, porter and two or three brakemen, put them off, and in the fusillade of shots that follows, one of the Negroes was hit in the leg with a bullet, others subdued with baseball bats and clubs, and another who ran to a nearby house and got a gun was disarmed. Mark you, the report in the daily paper says all this happened, as the train off. Who believes, this train and who believes, that doubtless would do effective work in time of war, ought to be put on exhibition at the Jamestown Exposition. In view of the fact that the white man finds it difficult to differentiate between his women and the very bright women of the Negro race, the Jim Crow laws are compelling the railroads frequently for their racial repairals. In race humiliate the Afro-American race, the Southern legislatures are also humiliating their own race. Eamartine said, "Man never fastened one end of a chain around the neck of his brother, that God's own hand did not fasten the other end around the neck of his pressor." Suffolk, on the 4th president, a white woman, Mrs. Rosa Stone who, because of her thin and tanned complexion, was taken for a Negro woman, was forced to ride in the Jim Crow car against her wishes and claim that she was white. She has instituted a suit for $100 damages against the Norfolk & Western Railroad. The case will be watched. While the railroads are compelled to obey the Jim Crow law, still they might avoid many laysuits if their conductors, porters and brakemen were more considerate and polite in the handling of their passengers. Some of the Southern conductors and their assistants are more fine men and their brakemen are more fearful of the Negro passengers as to the white. But there are plenty of objs who seem to go stork mad and not boorishly when Negro passengers draw near to get aboard. All Negro passengers look alike to them and sometimes the most intelligent and best-dressed look worse and more hateful to them. They below like an angry bull at them and with sowls on their backs, yell: "This You people do not in there." The Negroes in the South and all who traveled South know their ears without being told. But the ill-mannered conductors and porters of which I speak would have spasms if they did not strut, look dangerous and show their authority when respectable Negro passengers come in sight. This brutal treatment has got to stop, or railroads will still be railroads. The remedy is to bounce these rude train crews that hate to treat Negro passengers decently. It is to the interest of the railroads to do so. There are a lot of Negroes who are not going to stand-for unjust, unnecessary and brutal treatment by conductors and porters on trains. A few years ago when Bishop Turner and his wife attempted to board the train in a slur, a tough train official escorted her and go on a journey. They refused, because of the insulting tone of his voice. The bishop took his wife's arm to help her up. The arrogant train official extended his hand to push her back. The bishop, bald as a lion, with the frown of a savage, looked sternly at him and said, "If you put your hand on my wife I will send you to hell this minute." The official knew that there was a ring in that voice that meant business. The train his wife and when the official hustled trotted around and learned who this courageous Negro was, he became as mute as a mouse. At Grendula, Miss, five years ago, Bishop W. C. Clinton with his annual conference and of asked eight ministers and officials to sell them tickets, as it was near train time. They were told to wait. It was done patiently. The train the bishop asked again of the train, the bishop asked again of the given to understand by the angry agent that if he said another word he would have it — he缸 another shot out. The seventy-eight ministers and delegates of men and women, ready to die for or with their honored bishop, gave the agent to understand that he would have to shoot all of their brains out when he reached for his gun. A crowd of whites quickly assembled, talked among themselves, and an officer decided was best to be the bishop and his delegates on one night in Arkansas we saw a conductor collect a fare from a Negro who was tough and half drunk. After the train had passed the first station, the conductor, doublet forgetting it, tried to collect again. The Negro refused to pay. The conductor threatened to put him off the train. The Negro said, "Captain; do as you please, but the man that puts his hands on me to-night to put me off this here train we either smell smoke from my 44-inch cello will smell smoke from my 44-inch cello will not put off, although the conductor looked curiously at him every time he went through, collecting tickets and the Negro with a smile looked similarly at him. These and other instances I could name are straws showing which way the wind is blowing. It is a wine conductor who will whistle down brakes on his unkind and wicked treatment of Negro passengers. They are not going to stand for it. DR. JETER'S TWO MONTHS' TRIE. Interesting Visits to Cities of Middle States—Conditions of the People To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACK: The last time I wrote you I was in Williamsport, Pa. on my tour through the West. I shall give you only a brief of my observations during my two months' trip: I visited Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Richmond, Ind., Baltimore, Washington, Luray, W. Va., Atlantic City, N. J. and many other intervening towns along the way. From Williamspart we visited Cleveland, O. The colored population here numbers to about 15,000; there are about 3,300 voters; their wealth is estimated about $100,000 per person; seventy-five business men actually engaged in thriving businesses for themselves; there are eight physicians, ten lawyers, fifteen school teachers, teaching in the mixed public schools; there are eight churches, with a valuation of property estimated at $100,000 each, compared with the number of people there are in the city. Rev. I. A. Collins, pastor of St. John's A. M. E. church, is now servicing his second appointment with this church, his first appointment being sixteen years ago. He then found the church in debt to the amount of $7,000; and the church had provisioned paid out into it to enter the amount of the principal, $7,000. During Rev. Collins' four years' pastorate he paid off all the indebtedness of the church, save $1,500. While I was there he negotiated a sale of his church property to the amount of $72,000, and had plans drawn for a $50,000 church. The Alliance mission, under the pastorate of Mr. and Mrs. Collins, was inquiring and building up the Christians in the most holy faith. While here we prescheduled for Rees, Collins, Bally, Session and Mrs. Roxley; we found a warm spirit of union among the ministers of the different denominations in the city. It was our measure to address the ministers' conference which meets in the Royal College of Medicine in the city. John D. Ridefellow is a member. In Cleveland we found Negro motormen and conductors on trolley cars. The sadest feature of my stay here was the separating from my son Walter, who had to leave me to go to, to the Blue Ridge Mountains in Laray county, Va., for his health. He is nearer home now, in the State of Rhode Island at Palm Lake, his impatient wife suddenly Colored, O. was next visited. The colored population here numbers, between 25,000 and 30,000. The valuation of their church property is between $800,000 and $1,000,000. The colored citizens here purchased for: Senator Foraker a very valuable loving cum, presented to him by William Brew, presided over by the Union Baptist church of this city. The presentation took place at Wilberforce Academy during the commencement week last June. There is here a large Jewish shirt manufacturing establishment. The proprietor of the factory sent to the ministers of this city asking them to commend girls of the factory for living wages. There are to-day one hundred and fifty colored girls at work in the factory. There are quite a number of our race, who are engaged in large businesses for themselves here, also filling prominent positions. Among them are: Hon. George W. Hayes, superintendent of the Union Baptist school for thirty years, a veren in the United States District Court. For two sessions he was a member of the Legislature of Ohio. Deacon Warren King, of the same church, is one of the leading caterers of the city. He has a large business; his principal station is at the Hadden Hall Cafe. Avondale, Cnn., where he accommodates his many patrons; Dr. Burch and I were invited there to a sumptuous repast. Mr. Robert Troy, Jr. is the private secretary of a large estate owned and controlled by a wealthy owner, and was pastor of the Union Baptist church eighteen years ago, has been called back, and he has done great work. After preaching in a number of the churches in this city, and addressing the conference of both races, I left there for Indianapolis, Ind. The city is surely a beautiful one, the home of Vice President Mr. Fairbanks. The colored population is about 35,000; 6,500 voters. The valuation of their property is estimated at $500,000 dollars. This city has its professional of shareman of our race there are thirteen lawyers there are three teachers, teachers in the public schools; the school system calls for separation of the race in primary grades; but the high schools are mixed, and taught by white exclusively. There are twenty Baptist churches, seven Methodist churches, one Presbyterian church, and one Episcopalian church. This is a great railroad center, there are about forty-two lines going out from this city through various parts of the country. There are four colored journals, published weekly. Mr. Chas, H. Raughman is the head weigh master in the city post office and has been for the past eighteen years. I preached at the Baptist church here, pastored by Dev. K. B. Harris. They have a nice property, and are progressing finely under his leadership. From here we went to Baltimore, then on to Miami, after a brief stay there, we went to Washington. I was the ghost of Dr. Howard. I supplied the pulpits of Dr. Lee and Brooks. Dr. Howard and his family made it very enjoyable for me there. We spent a profitable old Baltimore Worship meeting in old friends and speaking a word for the Master. From here we arrived in Atlantic City on the Saturday preceding the second Sunday in July. I preached for Dr. Murry and Henderson while I was there. Dr. Murry had about one thousand people in his congregation, to whom I was delighted to preach: I think of the many people who attended both of the A. M. E. and the Baptist churches, that I found no better organized church than Dr. Murry's, for actual work. I am told that in their grand rallies they raise from $200,00 to $300,000 dollars per month besides their current expenses. Dr. Henderson, who is pastor of the Shiloh Baptist church, has done a more successful work than I did, including sitting at a church house and property in a good location at the cost of $10,000 dollars. Eight years ago he started this work with seven members and now has more than half paid for this magnificent property, and has a flourishing congregation. Of all the church edifices I visited while was away, I found more complete and beautiful than Dr. Harvey's new church recently erected in Baltimore Md. In my trip I noticed two things particularly, and these things concern me much, and I hope that in the near future there will be a remedy for them; viz. there is a class of our race, whose conduct and behaviour is affecting us quite materially to our disadvantage with our white friends both in the East and West. It is not only detrimental to us here, but also to the large multitude of our race in the South. Next, I noticed that our people do not stand together politically; it is a common experience of the world that race will succeed, without a leader. We have got to unite and recognize leadership, if we expect to get any where or get anything in these United States, in a political way. H. N. JETER. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1907 ASSOCIATION OF PHYSICIANS Three Successes in the Medical Profession Shown at Recent Meeting of Association in Baltimore. From The Evening Post. BALTIMORE, August 31.—The National Association of Negro Physicians, Drittia and Pharmacists held an interesting session in this city during Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of last week. There are in the United States more than two thousand Negroes practicing the several branches of the medical profession, about three hundred of whom are members of this association. One hundred and sixty-one doctors were present. In many ways this body represents the most intermingling professional group to be found among colored men. Every one of them holds a degree from some reputable college, and has been subjected to the same test applicable to white practitioners. In professional knowledge, in professional knowledge and equipment they represented a body of men that match not ashamed. Graduates of the best known colleges in the North and West, as well as the medical school, are found in this association. Harvard, Yale, Columbia, the University of Michigan, and the University of Pennsylvania contribute generous alumni to the work of this body, while white students from Harvard University at Washington, D.C. Maharry Medical College, at Nashville, Teen, and the Leonard Medical School at Ralbigh, N.C. At present medicine offers the most inviting field for Negro professional talent. On the average a doctor can command about twice the income of the lawyer or preacher. In consequence, the most capable and ambitious colored youth are now flocking to the college. They must be in thousands Negro students in the various medical colleges throughout the country. The Democratic mayor of Baltimore welcomed the association to the city in works of such kindly sympathy and孝诚ity of spirit, and with such evident sincerity that on leaving the room he was accorded a hearty Chautaqua salute. The first day's session reports were read from local associations. It developed that such associations exist in almost every State and large city which are federated in the National body. The reports brought out clearly the missionary function of the Negro physician in disseminating health, knowledge, and sanitary intelligence among the people. As one speaker put it, "but a small part of the work of the Negro physician; our chief labor is the physical building up and betterment of the people." Another speaker said that medicine was the most unselfish of all the professions, because it prepared people to do without its dispensation. Deep interest was manifested in general sanitary and vital problems, and the members were urged to co-operate with State and local authorities to arrange community and other diseases to which the Negro seems to fall so easy a try. Interest was also aroused by the general testimony to the kindly fraternal spirit existing between white and colored physicians in all parts of the country. The white physician never refuses to extend to his colored colleague the fullest professional sympathy and courtesy. More attention was given to subservience to him to any degree of this white plague seemed to be the deepest concern of all present. The general conclusion was set forth by Dr. W. H. Wright of Baltimore, who said: "We must care for the consumptive at the right time, at the right place, and in the right way, till he is cured, rather than, as at present, to treat him at the wrong time, at the wrong place, and in the wrong way, till he is dead." The paper on child care, by Dr. Roberts of New York, pointed out the awful and unhappy life especially of children, by reason of ignorance, insultation, and neglect. Consumption and infant mortality are the two danger points threatening the physical continuity of the Negro race in this country. The papers and discussions throughout were characterized by intelligent conception, knowledge of the subject treated and expertise of purported experts. Mary A. Francis (formerly of purported experts), Dr. Francis of Washington, dealt with psychic therapeutics, and suggested a careful study of this method by intelligent and skilled physicians, which is now employed by the charlatan and quick. The importance of the suggestion is enhanced when applied to the Negro patient, so readily responsive to psychic control. It was interesting to note the tendency toward specializing among Negro physicians. Besides physicians, dentists, pharmacists and surgeons, there were eye and ear specialists; several of the members belong to the homeopathic school, and one veterinary surgeon was in attendance. The number of hospitals under Negro direction was under Negro direction in such an institution exists, ranging from the Freedman's Hospital at Washington, with a half-million-dollar plant and equipment, to a little house with a few beds, in the smaller towns and cities. There were several woman doctors in attendance, and the trained nurse was allowed to explain her ministry to the sick. The general spirit of the association was to stimulate and quicken the training of the times, read the latest journals and improvements in medical facilities, so as not to deprive the humblest patient of the best treatment that medical science can afford. Dr W. H. Wright, of Baltimore, was elected president for the coming year, and Dr. Kenney, local physician of Tuskegee Institute, was chosen secretary. The next meeting will be held in New York city next August. Westfield, N.J. Sunday was quarterly meeting at Zion A. M. E. church. In the afternoon Mrs. Wilson, of Camden, preached and at night Presiding Elder Dr. Hazel preached to an interesting audience: At the New York avenue Baptist church, the pastor, Rev. P. W.
