WASHINGTON HONORS THE AUDITOR OF THE NAVY Magnificent Demonstration of Hon. Ralph W. Tyler's Worth As a Man and Citizen Extracts from Auditor Tyler's Speech—Letters of Regret from Many Distinguished Men—Echos of the Banquet—Loyalty to Republican Party Expressed. WARMINGTON, D. C., March 10—The nation's capital is not slow to indicate its appreciation of "the stranger within its gates" when that stranger proves by his walk that he has character, capacity, love of his people, a mind to conceive great things and the courage to do the things that make for racial advantage. In demonstration of this fact one hundred representative men, hailing from hearty every State and territory in the Union, participated in a complimentary dinner Monday evening, the second inst., at Gray's elegant cafe, M13, northwest in honor of Mr. R. Mooney, New York; the Negro in Medicine, Dr. E. D. Williston, District of Columbia; "Our Guest," John C. Dancy, North Carolina. Mr. Charles W. Anderson, collector of Internal Revenue, New York city, who was to have responded to the toast, "The President of the United States," was unable to be present on account of the serious illness of his wife. A silent toast, however, was drunk to the Chief Ex- Quite a number of special guests from abroad were in attendance, among them former Governor P. B. S. Pinkback, now of New York, who served as the chief executive of Louisiana during the most critical period of the reconstruction effort after the war, banker of Nashville, Tenn.; Mr. Fred R. Moore, editor of THE NEW YORK ACE and Colored American Magazine; and Mr. Harry S. Cummings, an attorney and member of the Common Council of the city of Baltimore. Letters regretting their inability to be present were read from Dr. Booker T. Washington and Mr. Emory C. Jackson, Ungerke Institute, Alabama; Charles W. Harre son and Jerome B. Peterson, of New York; N. D. Brancher, T. W. Fleming, Welcome T. H. and George A. Myers, of Cleveland, Ohio; C. J. Perry, of Philadelphia; W. T. Werniger, Register of the Treasury, and others. The menu card was executed in Pendleton most artistic style, the first puzce being illuminated in the hollowest trait of the guest of honor, the revere carrying the list of the diners, while sandwiched between were the program of intellectual offerings and an abundance of gastronomic delicacies for which center Gray, a graduate of the master epicurian Chamberlin, has justly become famous. The menu, the finest served at the banquet in many a day, was as follows: Blue Points on Half-Shell Celery Rhine Wine Soup Bisque of Clams Sherry Boiled Shad Parisienne Potatoes Fillet of Beef, Mushroom Sauce Potato Croustilles Claret Stewed Terrapin Lettuce and Tomato Salad The committee on banquet was made up of Justice Robert H. Terrell, chairman; Hon. John C. Daney, recorder of deeds; James A. Cobb, assistant district attorney; Wyatt Archer and Dr. John C. Norwood, of the auditor's office; Dr. E. D. Williston and Whitfield McKinlay. Justice Terrell an Toastmaster, Justice Robert H. Terrell, of the district Court, made an ideal toastmaster, and his ready wit and felicious introductions added much to the enjoyment of the evening. The addresses were all of unanimity and were more seriously upon the vital problems of the hour than is customary on a festive occasion, but there was intermingled such a flow of "innocent merriment," offerent humor and incidents of "infinite variety," that the whole lump was spicely leavened. The attitude of the national administration came in for much attention, and the Republican party was handed a bunch of bonquets, showing that all misunderstandings had been cleared up and there was every indication that the coming campaign will find the old warrior the party prepare to battle for the white house to do be. The friends of the administration "made hat" in good fashion, and the situation has taken on a rosier hue, from every point of view, because of this happy exchange of courtesies. Auditor Ttler's Popularity Auditor Tyler's Popularity. The complimentary referrals made by each speaker to the life and labors of Mr. Tyler are literary accomplishments, his business ability, long and useful career as a journalist, his diligent discharging the exact duties of his responsible position, his goal for the appointment, promotion and protection of members of his race, and his own modest, unassuming demeanor in public and private intercourse with his fellow man all gave testimony to his personal popularity with his race throughout the country, and examined the universal satisfaction with the proud record he has made here and unassuming demeanor in public and private intercourse with his fellow man to a position of such national importance and where he could be of such signal service to all the people. Mr. Tyler was named for the auditorium nearly a year ago, during a process of Congress, but upon the assembling of that body his nomination was among the first to be confirmed by the Senate. The appointment was wholly unselected by Mr. Tyler, and his confirmation was secured not only by Mr. Tyler in charge of immense bureau, carrying many employees on the rolls, but is entrusted with the responsible work of auditing and certifying to the accounts of the great navy department of the United States, involving the expenditure of millions of dollars annually. It will be remembered that Mr. Tyler is the second colored man to occupy this position, the place having been filled during the administration of President Harrison by John R. Lynch, of Mississippi, now a minister in the regiment stationed at Matanzas, in the Philippine Islands. It is a notable coincidence that Justice Terrell, the toastmaster on this occasion, was chief assistant to Major Lynch during his term of office, and was afterwards his law partner for several years in this city. A Front of Reason. The wide range of topics discussed by the speakers will be observed by a survey of the following toasts, and their quality can best be determined by a study of the man of national prominence who made the responses. The program included: "The Old Guard." Rev. P. B. S. Pinch. THE NEW YORK back, New York; "The Republican Party," Harry S. Cummings, Maryland; "News from the South," J. C. Napier, Tennessee; "Our Public Schools," Roscoe C. Bruce, District of Columbia; "The Negro Press," R. W. Thompson, Indiana; "The Negro in Law," James Indiana; "The Impending Conflict of Columbia," L. Thomas Jones, Virginia; "Our Attitude on the Issues," Fred R. Moore, New York; "The Negro in Medicine," Dr. E. D. Williston, District of Columbia; "Our Guest," John C. Dancy, North Carolina. Mr. Charles W. Anderson, collector of Internal Revenue, New York city, who was to have responded to the toast. The toast was unable to be present on account of the serious illness of his wife. A silent toast, however, was drunk to the Chief Executive of the nation, in which all joined heartily followed by enthusiastic applause. Auditor Tyler's Address. Mr. Tyler, the guest, being interested in the Chiquita salute, and a moment later was presented with a mammoth bouquet of Queen Beatrice roses for Mrs. Tyler, the company rising as a tribute of gallant respect A. to his gracious and beloved helpmate. He spoke as follows: Mr. Toastmaster and Gumblemen: I came among you a stranger, and you have given me the welcome. I came among you to add my help, to assist in preparing all and everything that may come to my aid, to preserve advancement of our interests, and you have cordially accepted my name. I came among you not to load, not to assume, but simply to work shoulder to shoulder, in a modest way, with the men in the ranks, and you have given me a place among you. I came among you to do, not to talk, knowing full well that talk is often dissatisfied by a moment and by a breath, which acts to help or to hinder according to the motive that prompted them. This evidence of your kindly feeling, and kindly interest, I appreciate far more than any other. My appreciation is all the deeper for the reason that I feel that there is deep sincerity in this greeting. I am not, however, unmindful of the fact that this welcome, this hand-one JOHN H. HARRIS dinner, is not intended as personally fomenting me, but as honoring the position the President of the United States has given our race. And I am also im- pressed with the belief that this wel- come, coolful as it is, is a gentle reminder that I am expected to further the interests of our race by leaving behind me, and to continue the cause of fidelity to the Government which I serve; fidelity to the President who ap- pointed me, and fidelity to the race I rep- resent. Official Recognition of Race Unprecedented. There is one point that particularly impresses itself upon me, and I believe impresses itself upon all thoughtful men of our race, and that is any and all political representation given to the race must be construed as an obligation to American citizens, to participate in the administration of the laws and the offices of and AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION NEW YORK, THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1908 under this government. Recognition cannot, gentlemen, be otherwise construed, no matter how warped may be one's judgment. The greater that representation, the greater the recognition of the race. To-day we enjoy a representation not disguised of a quarter of a century ago, a presentation under the Federal and municipal and at the direct instance of the President, for in excess of any representation before enjoyed under any previous President. Such recognition, gentlemen, cannot, in all fields, be attributed to any motive save one THE CHORAL STUDY CLUB Chicago's Musical Society Gives "The Rose Maiden" singers and giving to Chicago society of sustaining strength the purpose.

Amateur Play Given at Pekin Theater for Phyllis Wheatley Home—Growing Influence of the Frederick Douglas Center. CHICAGO, Nov. 10.—Mr. Pedro Tinsley, leader and director of the Choral Study Club, scored another artistic triumph on Tuesday night last in the very successful rendition of Frederick H. Cowen's celebrated musical composition, "The Rose Maiden." The club was especially favored on this occasion by the presence of Mr. John W. Work, of Fisk University, who rendered the tenor solo parts with rare art and tenderness of expression. He easily sang himself into the hearts of the large and appreciative audience that greeted him with every possible manifestation of pleasureable appreciation. The home talent also was fully equal to all the exactions of this tuneful composition. Mrs. Martha B. Anderson, the leading soprano soloist, is highly prized for her rare sweetness of voice, winsome manners and the intelligent interpretation she brings to all her work as a soloist. Miss Mayne Morrison, the contralto, and Mr. James F. Craig, baritone, make all applause in their respective parts. In all of its experience as a singing organization, the Choral Study Club has never given a single pleasing concert. The choirs consisted of seventy-five voices, and only those who live in Chicago and have been closely following the Choral Study Club during the past ten years can approach how beautiful and industrious they are. Ms. Terry's lead in holding the choir's head of THE NEW YORKER ```markdown ``` singers and giving to Chicago a choral society of sustaining strength and artistic purpose. Prof. William E. Mamel and his estimable wife, were the recipients of many congratulations and testimonials of good will on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of their marriage on February 27. There was a notable outpouring of Chicago's society folks at Mott's Pekin Theatre on Tuesday afternoon last, to take part in a benefit matinee in behalf of the proposed Phyllis Wheatley Home for Colored Girls. The name of the club bearing the name of the almost mythical Negro poetess has for several years been working to establish a home for young colored women, similar in purpose and plan to the comfortable homes for the protection of white young women in all our large cities. public interest in this commendable enterprise was generously shown by the presence of hundreds of people who filled the theatre as it has seldom been filled on a matinee occasion. The performance was given by a company of amateurs. The play was the work of J. Fenton Johnson, a young high school graduate, who is ambitious to become a playwright and whose work gives abundant promise that he will achieve ultimate success, and the music and ensemble was the work of Mr. Herbert H. Byron, one of a family of musical brothers whose work as artists cannot be too highly commended. Quite a handsome sum of money was realized for the proposed home. At a time when so many people are out of employment it is gratifying to learn from a recent report of the Frederick Douglass Center Employment As- ```markdown ``` relation, of what a large number of colored men and women have secured work of all kinds during the past six months. Between the six hundred persons have been put to work as waters porters, maids, cooks, exhibitors, elevators, men, dining car men, domestic servants of all kinds, and laborers for railroad construction. A great number of those employed secured places never before held by colored men and women. As deserving of special notice is the counting of two regular skiff-hoppers in one of the largest department stores in the city. It is quite evident from the large and persistent demand for colored help in a wide variety of occupations that there seems to be a growing preference for colored people capable of giving efficient service. There is no question but that the cause of the crisis would be well served if more of our young men and women had the opportunity of rendering their class services in any sort of work that falls to their hands. In spite of our discouragement and complaints, there is a tendency to advance competent colored men and women to the higher occupations, from which heretofore they have been freely excluded. THOMAS J. CALLOWAY. Present at Tyler Banquet. The work thus accomplished is a further evidence of the growing influence of the Frederick Douglass Center in giving to our young people new inspirations and an increased self-respect. FANNIE BARRIER WILLIAMS. West New York Notice On account of the illness of Rev. M. J. Haskins, there was no sermon delivered at Gothsmane Baptist Church Sunday. A large number attended the baptism exercises held at Hackensack Sunday afternoon conducted by the former pastor of Gothsmane Church. Sunday school and B. A. P. L. were well attended. In the evening the pastor prescheduled an elephant sermon, magazine readings, and for the nine nights has been a success.

St. James' Presbyterian Church. Church were largely attended Sunday. Those attending morning service were well repaid in hearing an excellent sermon by Rev C. LeRoy Butler. Rev Burt toter was "of Man He live Again? or Immunity?" He spoke very forcefully about this great question which agitates so many minds about the hereafter, and said in part: "Am I passing through this world to a death which shall end all, or is this a prelude to the real life?" He touched upon the many theories, such as transmigration, annihilation and the Christian theory of heaven beyond. If a man dies shall he live again? No. For God said because of his sin, saying he shall die in his life, he will weave the lives of eternity. He living in our soul. This last thought was the real theme of his, very fine sermon, Concluding he said: Because the oply hope of munkind is Jesus Christ, we must accept Him here and now. Dr. W. A. Alexander, of Brooklyn, preached in the evening an administered the Sacrament of Baptism to a large number, among them being the pastor's son, Ernest Butler.

Last Thursday, Mark Lyeenman, Mark Lyeenman occurred Brooks' night. The program was interesting, and the meeting well attended. The meeting was held in the interest of the Alpha Finance Co., of which Mr. Robt. W. Taylor is manager. The future plans of this company were discussed. Mr. John E. Robinson presided and presented Dr. Brooks as the first speaker. Dr. Brooks said that he had studied carefully the work of Mr. Taylor and that he had demonstrated that a man could do business in Wall Street and still be a Christian. Dr. Brooks concluded by saying we are to support all of our enterprises that are being fostered by colored people. Counsellor Smith was the second speaker, whose remarks were somewhat similar to Dr. Brooks. He said he had confidence in Mr. Taylor and the work he was doing. Mr. Taylor said that he was Robt. W. Taylor, who is popularly known as our young Wall Street broker. He told in an interesting manner of the work of his company, the Alpha Finance, and Security Company. He told of the advantages to be gained from wise investments, and urged the Negro to invest his money in staple companies. Mr. Taylor believes that the race must develop more along the financial lines and believes we are in the right financial ratings. His remarks were well received. Mr. Taylor has succeeded in winning the confidence of the people of this city since his coming here by his sincere way of doing business. After his address Mr. J. Cammand business representative of the company, made a few brief remarks and recited Dinkler's "Black Regiment." Last Sunday at the Lyceum hour praise service was held. This is always an interesting occasion and brought out a good yowl. The Allen administration has started its work with great promise and looks to great bines.

Last Sunday afternoon the usual enthusiastic gathering was present to greet Mrs. George DeBaptiste Faulkner, who has worked in Liberia as a missionary. The meeting opened with song service, followed by Scriptural reading and prayer by Mr. Winston, of Abby Baptist Church, which played no solo very creditably with which Mrs. D. Faulkner was presented as the speaker of the afternoon. She is an interesting speaker and told in a charming manner of her work in Liberia. Her address was thoroughly enjoyed by the young men present. There was quite a number of ladies present, evidently friends of Mrs. Faulkner, who came out to speak. The meeting was interesting for young men, and are beginning to revive around the association at the coming of spring. The boys are turning their attention to athletics and the popular American game—base ball. The candidates are out and a good strong team is promised. The essay contest is to occur on Tuesday evening, March 24th. The literary society is just jogging along and it is hoped some degree. The checker tournament between the New York associations has started and will continue through March to April.

At Union Baptist Church, 204-206 West Old Street, Dr. G. H. Sims, pastor, the services were well attended as usual, the Rev. Dr. Sims filling his pulpit all day, his subject was "Weeping and laughing," 2:23. The services and all were benefited that heard him. His evening text was "The best method for church members to work in the church." He treated the subject with clear-cut explanations, and his ideas were all plain and comprehensive. Dr. Sims has always been understood by the congregation. That is one of the secrets of his success. The day's offering was $101. The Sunday School, already large, is still growing; the attendance was 161 and the collection was $9.91. The new scholars for February numbered 25. On last Monday evening the regular meeting of the board of trustees and deacons met, and the regular business meeting of the church was held on the following Monday, pursuant to a committee of forty members, all being members of the Silver Star singing class. With such a strong committee there can be no question as to the character of the programmes each Tuesday evening. The singing class is getting ready for their annual election of officers and banquet. All who attended the banquet last year can remember with pleasure the greatness of that occasion. The young people are an annual religious freedom that they are encouraged to work for the church. That is the reason there are so many people in Union. There is a Young People's Bible class conducted by Mrs. J. E. Yates, a Young People's Circle of the Gregory W. Hayes Literary Circle, of which Mrs. Singleton is conductress; a Junior R. Y. P. conducted by Miss Mattie Morris, a Roy's Brigade, of which Mr. R. L. Skinner is commander, and a brigade for the girls and the girls' suite suits, caps and hats, and last but not least, the Silver Star Singing Class, which is well known in New York, it can be readily seen that the young people can boost over more privileges than are granted in some churches: Mr. Vandever played two excellent violin solos on last Thursday evening at the Gregory W. Hayes Literary Circle. He is also a photographer and anyone wishing to see his work can call at 205 West Gilbert Street, and he will gladly accept his work. Mr. Vandever is in good spiriting health. We glad to have Sister Aikens back with us. She is a traveling missionary. Miss R. B. Cox, a niece of Mrs. Bella Waldron, is here for an extended period of time from Richmond, Va. Mr. Clark, who has been South to see his mother, has returned. Theoir of the church was favored by the proprietor of Mr. C. Clark, bass soloist of St. Philip's P. E. Church, on last Saturday evening. His fine voice gave much inspiration to the other members present. Mr. J. G. Petrose, a member of our church, had the misfortune to have all his personal belongings taken from him by thieves. Mrs. Gina and gone to Neack to recuperate. Mrs. H. H. and Mrs. Convalessing. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Calvert entertained Mr. E. A. Jackson, the organist, at dinner on Sunday afternoon last.

Missionary Delegates Meet in Brooklyn SPIRITED DISCUSSIONS Important Steps Taken by the Equal Suffrage League—Garnett Club in New Home—Olive Leaf Club Carnival. The Women's Mite Missionary Society convened last Thursday in the Union Bethel A. M. E. Church. The convention was composed of delegates from everyone of the Bethel connection in the State. There were three sessions and each one full of interest. Rev. Joseph Stiles, presiding elder of the Albany district, spoke at the Needle Up the State," and said in parish, "The minister we not closely interested in the Mite Missionary Society; that they do not co-operate with the women is why there is no growth and so little interest in this department of the work in the church." Rev. Mr. Stiles suggested that the society should be divided into two districts, corresponding to the presiding elder district; that the churches in the Albany Marion did together at less expense than it would cost them to attend a meeting anywhere in the Long Island district. Presiding Elder H. H. Pinckney, of the Long Island district, in responding to the request of the chairman of the convention to offer some suggestions for the good of the greek, said that the present lack of interest among the misunderstandings of the actual need now exists and that the remedy is in well-directed effort on the part of the pastors and especially in the pastors' wives. This suggestion brought about a spirited discussion on the part of the women. Short addresses were made by Mrs. R. Ransom, of Manhattan, Mrs. W. Ransom, of Manhattan, Mrs. R. C. Ransom, of Manhattan, Mrs. W. William Edwards, read an interesting paper on "Make the Best of Opportunity," and Mrs. Julia Phillips on "How to Get the Men of the City." Rev.

The next meeting of the H. H. Garnett Republican Club will be held in their new club house at 417 Carlton avenue. The report of the club showed that notwithstanding the disappointment the club has experienced in not receiving recognition from the leaders of Kings county it is growing numerically and is to be active in interest in the coming campaign. W. R. Carlisle Diggs and others spoke hopefully on the "Future of the Club," after which a liberal subscription was given by those present to relieve a temporary strain. Olive Leaf Club The Olive Leaf Club, of which Mrs John A. Oliver is president, gave an old-fashioned country barn carnival last Tuesday evening at the General Republican Club housing 225 Bridge Street, for the benefit of the building tundra of Presbyterian Church.

ASKEW, Financial Agent. ALL ARE INVITED. PRESIDENT RELENTS Suggests Passage of Law to Allow Discharged Soldiers Re-Enlist in (By United Press.) WASHINGTON, March 11.—The President to-day sent a letter to the Senate suggesting the passage of a law which will allow discharged Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry to re-enlist if they produce satisfactory evidence that they were not concerned in the Brownsville raid. After an exhaustive inquiry of over a year the Military Affairs Committee of the Senate to-day formally reported on the "Brownsville affray." Three reports were submitted, one by Chairman Warren, on behalf of the committee, in which the Democratic members joined, and, which in the main sustains the action of the President in dismissing the Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry; a minority report signed by Senators Scott, Foraker, Bulkley and Hemenway, and a separate report signed by Foraker and Bulkley alone, which completely vindicates the soldiers of charges made against them, and recommending legislation for the restoration to them of all the rights of which they have been deprived.

Beckett, so well and favorably known throughout the connection of the A. M. E. Church, has been mentioned in connection with the vacancy soon to be filled, caused by the resignation of Mr. P. A. Goines as secretary of the Y. M. C. A., who takes up similar work in Orange, N. J. At the present time he is the instructor in physical culture in the High and Training School of this city. The training classes which has received in the training classes at the institution in Springfield, Mass., for religious work among men, could be exerted to the full in the various demands of the Y. M. C. A. work in this city, which is rich in possibilities. Mr. Thomas J. Hilliard, one of our oldest and most successful business men, will go to Norfolk, Va., in May, as a delegate from the Baltimore Annual Conference, to the General Conference of the A.M. B. Church. Speaking of the General Conference, Mr. Hilliard reminded that the Rey, John Harst pastor of Water's Church, this city, is thought by many, to be the "next" general financial secretary of that church. Mr. George Brown, a young Afro-American, by trade a mechanical engineer, but who some few years ago embarked in the business world, is a young man of sterling worth and practical aggressiveness. For a summer or so he has been conducting the very popular summer resort known as "Brown's Guest House." He has also been acquired a more commodious and attractive property, which he designates as "Greater Brown's Grove." This place is situated just inside of the mouth of Rock Creek, and it is of great natural beauty. He has spared neither money nor labor in equipping the grove with new buildings and the necessary accessories. A magnificent view of the beautiful Chesapeake Bay may be had from the grounds. A new pier has been constructed, and it is as safe and enduring as any other giant steamer pliding between Baltimore and the grove, and already he has quite a number of dates taken for the coming summer. It seems that all that is necessary is for some one "to break the ice" Accordingly, the "ice" having been broken last winter by the Grand Lodge of Masons, it is announced that the Solid Industrial Fair is being held in Industrial Fair in the apsocious hall over the Centre Market, from Monday, May 18th to 25th inclusive. This immense public hall belongs to the city of Baltimore and is admirably suited for such purposes. What we need, and need badly, in Baltimore, is the man who has the capacity to organize and bring to the table necessary for the creation of an opera house, or public hall, with a seating capacity of not less than a thousand persons.

Don't Get Excited We wish to advise our good brethren of the quill, Dr. George C. Clement of the Star of Zion, and Dr. H. T. Johnson of the Christian Recorder, to calm their nerves and not get over-excited over the editorial in THE Ace hearing upon the supposed resolution concerning President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft which the public press Reported that the bishops in their session in Washington passed some days ago. THE Ace took for granted, as was one of most of the papers throughout the country, that the resolutions were actually passed by the bishops. It did not learn until later that the bishops had been grossly and unjustifiably imposed upon. We doff cur hat to Doctors Clement and Johnson and to the good bishops and say without hesitation that we were misled and that there was no basis for criticism. No paper has a higher regard for the Board of Bishops than THE Ace. The editor knows most of them personally, and while he may differ with them on matters of public policy, we are good friends. THE Ace will be found supporting the Board of Bishops in every worthy move that they may make for the upholding of the race, as they are an exceptionally strong class of men and deserve the confidence and support of our people. While speaking on this subject, we wish to commend to our readers the protest presented by a number of the bishops to the Interstate Commerce Commission some days ago against the unjust treatment of Afro-Americans on the railroads in the South. The protest was dignified, strong and manly. We do not believe that the Interstate Commerce Commission can afford to shove such a petition in the waist basket. A Clarion Note There is no mistaking the tone of the plank in the Ohio platform on the suffrage question. At its State convention last week Ohio spoke out in such strong language as to make it a clarion note. Ohio, which endorsed Secretary Taft as her choice for the Presidency, announces her opposition to the discrimination against the race. The following is the suffrage plank in the Ohio platform: The civil and political rights of the American Negro in every state. Believing, as we do, that his marvelous progress in intelligence, industry and good citizenship has earned the respect and encouragement of the nation, and that those legislative enactments that have for their real aim his disfranchisement for reason of color are unjust, an American and repentant to the supreme law of the land, we favor the reduction or representation in Congress and the decision of the United Union where white and colored citizens are disfranchised, to the end that the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States may be enforced according to its letter and spirit. Those who have, been condemning Secretary Taft should read and ponder well over this plank. This represents the views of Secretary Taft on the suffrage question. This is the platform that he will go before the country upon. Secretary Taft Before the Brooklyn Bar Association It has been a long while since anyone has delivered an address anywhere in the country on the Constitution of the United States that has been stronger than Secretary Taft's address before the Brooklyn Bar Association a few days ago. This address showed in a practical and strong manner the weak points in the Constitution of the United States, especially in regard to the protection of foreign citizens. We advise all who can do so to read carefully this strong address. Keeping Cool While the political atmosphere is filled with excitement and discussion it is important that the Negro does not become unduly excited or suffer himself to be swept off his feet. No matter what happens so far as individual candidates are concerned, the country is going to continue to make progress very much in the same way that it has been doing, and the Afro-American race is going to continue to climb the ladder of success and fame. The race is now too large and too strong to be very much injured by the indiscreet actions of any one man or set of men. The main thing for us is to have faith in ourselves and to pursue unwaveringly the path that leads to material, civil, moral and religious betterment. Every four years we hear it stated that if certain men are not elected to office that the country and the race are going to the "bow-wows." Nevertheless, the country holds together and the race continues to stand on its feet. Banker's Association of Mississippi Afro-Americans in Mississippi have set a fine example for the rest of the country. It is the first State to organize a Negro bankers association, the officers of ten banks being present at the meeting recently held at Mound Bayou. Most of us are inclined to look upon Mississippi as being the most backward State. We shall have to change our opinion, it seems, and look upon it as one of the most progressive States so far as the interests of our race are concerned. The Ohio Convention The Ohio Convention has met and adjourned. It endorsed without reservation the candidacy of Secretary Taft. It passed strong resolutions demanding that the Negro be protected in all of his rights as a citizen. Many of the strongest race leaders were present and took part in the convention. We predict that if Secretary Taft is nominated he will have the hearty support of the Afro-Americans of the State of Ohio. A Real Race Need It seems curious, but nevertheless it is true, that while there are numerous industrial schools, colleges and universities for the training of Afro-American youths, there is not in all the country so far as our knowledge extends, a single fitting school or academy that exists for the sole purpose of preparing young men and women for college. Here is an opening for some wideawake individual or individuals. An Improbable Alliance We note that a Washington despatch says that the Southern Congressmen and the Pacific coast Congressmen have formed an alliance for mutual protection; the Southern Congressmen to support the Pacific coast Congressmen in their efforts to keep the yellow race off the coast, and the Pacific coast Congressmen to assist the Southern Congressmen in their efforts to control the Negro in the South. We doubt, however, whether there is any foundation for such a report, especially so far as the Western Congressmen are concerned. Candidates for the Bishopric The candidates for bishops in the three branches of the colored Methodist Church are now on the home run. Some of these candidates consider themselves out of the woods. Others are trying to get out. So far as we know them, indi- vidually without exception, they seem to be strong men, well balanced, well educated and fitted for the high office of bishop. We trust, however, that when the General Conferences meet that the matter of selecting bishops will not engross all of the attention of the Conferences, but that other and more vital interests of the church will receive the consideration. The Meeting of the Negro Degreeats When the Negro Democrats meet in Philadelphia in April they should bear in mind that they will have to declare themselves in favor of the party led by Helin of Alabama, who tried to pass a Jim Crow car law for the District of Columbia, or they will have to align themselves with the Republican party against Helin. They can take no middle ground. As between Helin and the party represented by Roosevelt and Taft, we believe the bulk of the Afro-Americans are with Taft and Roosevelt. In saying this we do not overlook the numerous mistakes made by the latter. The Democrats voted for Mr. Helin's bill. The Republicans voted against it. Afterthoughts Some people who continue to smoke ten-cent cigars, when they can smoke three for five, complain of hard times. Oh, consistency then art a jewel. The man who makes the most noise in a community is not necessarily the most influential man. Political leaders with no visible means of support are simply 'make-believe' leaders. When you hear a Negro in a barber shop or barroom declare that the Negro will vote for this or that man, just put it down that the honest, industrious Negro is at home not saying a word. Mr. Charles Banks, of Mound Rayon, Miss, seems to have made a ten-strike in the organization of the Negro bankers of his State. It was a fine thing to have them meet in Mound Rayon and see the city which he and others have built up there. The entire Afro-American press without exception seems to be united in one direction, and that is that the Lily White movement in the South must go and shall not receive recognition at the hands of the national Republican party. The efforts some of our people are putting forth through religious organizations in building up colleges and other institutions of learning is something remarkable and most praiseworthy. In the State of Mississippi through the leadership of Bishop Cottrell, the Negroes have donated $40,000 or more within the last two years to build a college at Holly Springs, Miss. The Young Men's Christian Associations are being organized in most of the centers of population, North and South. These praiseworthy organizations are doing effective and much needed work in reaching and saving the youths of our race. The national secretaries of the Y. M. C., A. should have the cordial and loyal support of the race in their work. Every day the Taft boom seems to be gathering greater force. There has not been a day during the past two weeks that did not record a few instructed delegates for Taft. Last week Ohio and Kansas instructed, and the week before Missouri instructed for him. The other candidates had better get busy or Taft will be nominated unanimously judging from returns. STICK TO PARTY Bishop W. B. Derrick, of Flushing, N. Y., one of the foremost Afro-American prelates in the world, and a warm personal friend of Senator Joseph B. Foraker, recently in Columbus stated that Bishop Evans Tyrce, of Nashville, Teen., was entirely correct when he told The State Journal that the bishops of the colored Methodists at their recent conference in Washington, D. C., did not condemn the presidential candidacy of William Howard Taft. Not only that, but he declared that it was he who forbade any indulgence of Sen. Tyrce in the pursuit of a home of further than that, he urged that all men of color east aside their personal preferences after the choice of the Chicago convention has been made, and support the nominee of the Republican party, whoever he may be. He said that the house of bishops took no action whatever as to the political situation. That they were there to affect a federation of the colored Methodist churches and did not go beyond that. He said that any resolutions adopted by colored ministers condemning the Tait candidacy while the bishops were sidelined by those outside the conference, As to the general preference of a presidential candidate among the colored people, he said that while they without doubt had favored Foraker, he believed they now felt that his nomination was an impossibility, and would resign themselves to the will of the party. This statement from Bishop Derrick is specially interesting, not only because of his prominent place among people of color, but on account of his known interest and knowledge of the state, that 23 years ago he stamped the State for Senator Foraker when he ran for Gov't the first time. His wish to see Senator Foraker be come the presidential nominee of his party is therefore not strange, but as a further proof that he is an activated through personal friendship it is only necessary to state that he also stumped New York State for President Roosevelt when he ran for Governor, and that he is now a personal friend of the President. He expressed carest that the colored voters would lay aside personal training after the convention by saying, My distrust to the colored people is that it is the Negro right to contend for his interests even up to the Chicago convention, but when the Democratic candidate he must fall in line to assist in the election of a Republican President 'The Republican party,' said the incumbent Frederick Douglas, 'is the dun and old also beside the ocean.' "The important occurrence which might about this possessance among the people of color should not be used as the destroying angel of the only organization, the only body of men of the past 50 years to have spoken and acted in behalf of the Negro in the objection and scouring of his rights and privileges. As men, and gentlemen, I have admired both the President and Senator for the past quarter of a century regardless of the differences of opinion along certain terms. It is all evidence for any man or set of men to ask about giving aid and assistance to the party of Narrham, Jilhelm and Jeffrey, of every intelligent Negro who has a vote in his disaffection and support the nomination of the coming Chicago convention (having but one vote myself, I shall govern myself accordingly." Bishop Derrick, who has charge of the third Episcopal district of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, statesances Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, Nova Scotia, Bermuda and South Africa has returned from a trip through South Africa. DR. WASHINGTON ENTERTAINED speaks on Young's titer—Inquetted by the Ladies of the titer by the address of the city. Arnold Jr. March 5—Booker T. Washington in Mabuhay la haja pavilion on the pier here yesterday to audience numbering from three to four thousand people composed of both races. He was met at the depot by a brass band and a delegation of at least a thousand and men and women and escorted to the residence of Adlerman Leeds, where he was entertained. Bishop Coppin, Dr. H. T. Johnson, officer of Christian Reverend, and editor of all of Philadelphia came to Atlantic City to be present at the meeting. After the address a reception was tendered Mr. Washington by the ladies of Atlantic City. After the reception a banquet to which three hundred men of both races sat down was given in honor of Mr. Washington. On the platform during the lecture and at the banquet the city and the entire board of adlerman were present. Rev. Mr. Murray, under whose auspices Mr. Washington came to Atlantic City, deserves much credit for the success of the affair. Given Remarks for Net Opening Secretary Trial. (From the *Journal* of the *Clinton* The colored people of the United States, by force of circumstances which I need not here detail, have been so long confined to the one political party that they have had but little opportunity to grow accustomed to having among themselves pronounced and radical differences of opinions concerning political matters. One group of religionists among us can see a group of another faith worshipping God at a different shrine from its own without having its rage excited, for we have learned that even pious and intelligent people can in all sincerity hold radically different views concerning religious matters. What we have come to in religion we will some day reach in politics, that is, the ability to view without unseemly rage the race divided, like all other races of men, into various political groups. If the honest convictions on political matters which I am now to express do nothing more than furnish to the race one more example of a mail exercising his divine right to freedom of thought and expression upon matters in which he has as much vital interest as any other American citizen. I feel that I shall not have spoken in vain. Hrunaxillus: I was and am of the opinion that President Roosevelt's course in reference to the Brownsville affair was open to criticism. Normally the Anglo-Saxon race in Europe and in America is an oath respecting race. But in some parts of our country the sentiment has been developed that perjury is no offense against good morals where the race question is involved. Often truth is no more required by the racial sentiment than truthfulness concerning his army expected of a prisoner taken to war, swearing falsely and without a grimace as to election returns, and United State-Senators taking oaths to uphold the Constitution of the United States, knowing the while that they are going to be parties to the violation of the fifteenth amendment to that Constitution as much a part of that document as any other part. In view of the well known racial feeling which rendered the whole Brownsville affair difficult of straightening there was to my mind a wiser way for the President to have handled the matter. The President's Record But I am not one of those who think that the President acted as he did because the soldiers were colored men; race is nothing in his whole career upon which to found such a conception of his character. His nomination years ago of John R. Lynch to be the temporary chairman of a session of the National Republican Convention, his entertainment in the executive mansion at Albany of a noted colored singer who was denied entanglement in the books, his now famous courtesy to Prof. Booker T. Washington in the White House, his views as associated in the Crime case, the pigeon presentations, all, all preclude the thought that that was influenced by compulsion. He is further and venture the assertion that no President that ever sat in the chair has taken a more important step than Mr. Kennedy in wiping out the color line in politics so far as relates to federal appointments. When he became President there was what might be called a system of Jim Crowism in appointment. Colored men had a restricted sphere in which to aspire. The President broke up this conspiracy by pushing colored men on the judicial bench in Washington, D.C. by the appointment of Anderson in New York. Lewis in Boston and Tyler to audit ships in the Navy Department, and by other appointments in new fields. All the appointments cited by the president were in terms in the history of the nation, and a beginning has been made toward the opening of the whole field of federal service to Negro aspiration. If the procedure of regarding no territory as forbidden ground to the Negro is followed, Jim Crowism in the federal service is doomed. To take an incident like the Brownville affair and twist it into a color question with which to castigate a man with a record like that of President Roosevelt on the color question is indeed to my mind a severe indictment of our indictment. Mistaken I believe the President to have been Activated by race prejudice I do not believe him to be. I am frank to admit that in spite of the President's mistakes, I view the matter he has my support, and I support him for the same reason that influences a man to stand a pyramid on its base and not on its apex. That is, I judge his attitude toward the race by his course as viewed in the large sense rather than by one incident, which could definitely be pronounced as born of race prejudice only by that great reader of hearts, the Christ, who has solemnly warned us against going behind the course, saying "I judge of lest ye be judged. For with what measure ye mete it shall be measured unto you again." Secretary Taft. I shall now express my views concerning Secretary Taft. To begin with he comes of old abolition stock, and the traditional attitude of his family has been one of cordial friendship for the colored people. His course in Cuba and the Philippine Islands shows that he is a believer in the rights of the dark races. He believes in the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution and has said over and over again that the suffrage laws should apply equally to both races. Such mistakes as the colored people made in the early days in voting he sought in some Southern speeches to explain philosophically, and show that the people are out of which the people are wrong. This was done to offset the claim of those Southen whites who hold that reconstruction experiences should serve as an eternal bar. These efforts of Secretary Taft to trace to natural causes any shortcomings of the race as voters have been seized upon by his enemies as indications that he does not believe in equality of citizenship. But I challenge any one to produce a speech on the race question wherein Mr. Taft has not declared for equality of citizenship. As the Republican Party of the North seism hopelessly divided on the question of federal interference with Southern ejections Secretary Taft believes in trying moral sanction, in trying to win over white men in the South to the Northern views of the suffrage question. If made President it is my earnest belief that he will use the whole power of his positivity to influence sentiment in the South favorable to the acceptance in good faith of the fifteenth amendment. He says he is with Prof. Booker T. Washington. On the question of the equality of citizenship, Prof. Washington thus expressed himself in a letter to the Constitutional Convention of Louisiana. “Since the war, no state has had such an opportunity to settle for all timing the race question, so far as it concerns politics, as is now given in Louisiana. Will your convention set an example to the world in this respect?” “I want to suggest that no state in the South can make a law that will provide an opportunity or temptation for an ignorant white man to vote, and withhold the same opportunity from the ignorant colored man, without injuring both men. No state can make a law that can thus be executed, without dwarfing for all times the morals of the white men in the South. Any law controlling the ballot, that is not absolutely just and fair to both races will work more permanent injury to the whites than the blacks.” “The Negro does not object to an education or property test, but let the law be so clear that no one clothed with state authority will be tempted to perjury and degrade himself, by putting one interpretation upon it for the white man and another for the black man.” "While I do not presume to advise you, yet it is in my heart to say that if your convention would do something that would prevent for all time strained relations between the two races, and would permanently settle the matter of political relations in one state in the South, the very best possible heath for the least number of both races; and add to this the enactment of an election law that shall be incapable of unjust discrimination, at the same time providing that in proportion to the ignorant, secure education, property and character, they will be given the right of citizenship. Here we have Mr. Washington's creed, the ideas toward which he is striving, and to this ereed Secretary Taft subordinates. I have stated above my reasons for not asserting my allegiance to President Roosevelt on account of the Brown-swell affair in the main they apply to the force Secretary Taft assumes that the question of race did not enter into the matter with him, and his arrows taken in connection with the whole history of the man, is sufficient for me. If then the race question is eliminated and who can prove the premise asserted, the question is reduced to simply a matter of error or judgment from viewpoint, and hence it is, that I take my mind that all men do for the race is not to be swallowed up by one error. Suppose that simply clump of the letters whom all of us are proudly sent to the Hon. J. H. Bokakit, commits an error of judgment to me now, will it serve to unify a time of championship of the race? Are the men who serve us serve in with the spirit over before them of descent and abuse it they do not always view matters as we view them? Of course where a man deserves an account of race on color we are printed in dressing him, whatever his past. But I hold that to be far from proven in the cases before us. Will the man who finds fault with this position give us the privilege of move into his life and choose any one incident therein, and give us the liberty I ask the public to judge of which I have by the one insult of my choice. Enforcing the Constitution. Permit me to say that I traveled the passage of the Lodge Election Bill which looked to the enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment: that bill failed. At present I see no signs of a public sentiment that would sanction an attempt to revive that bill. While the nation sleeps along the time and allies are busy trying to wake up like lions in a lime-green hand with those who in this period of quiescence are trying moral station. In my state the Fifteenth Amendment is observed. What we need here is a more liberal spirit among the whites. What will being it about? We all aim at the one thing, some stiring the one way and some the other. When the bait is small won, as won if will surely be, it will then perhaps be plain to the race that each segment of earnest workers has played a part in the achievement of the victory. HURRAH! FOR ATLANTA Adds Another to the Chain of Banks Throughout the South. ATLANTA, Ga., March 5-1 Dr. W. R. Pittfield, of Birmingham, who is working under the ampieces of the National Negro Business League, in the matter of organizing Negro banks, was in Atlanta recently and a bank organization was perfected for this city. A State bank with a capital of $25,000 was agreed upon, and the par value of each share was put at $. Ten thousand dollars of the capital stock was taken at the first meeting. Mr. William Driskell took $1,600 shares for himself and associates. Temporary officers were elected as follows: Dr. H. R. Butler, president; W. William Skill, vice-president; W. William Cahoon; H. L. Johnson, attorney. The following board of directors was elected: T. W. Walker, R. J. Davis, I. O. Boss, A. D. Williams and Dr. W. F. Penn. It is predicted that this bank will soon open and prosper from its beginning. 1. Hampson Testing Hon. W. H. Taft and Dr. Booker T. Washington will address a public meeting in the interest of Hampton Institute, Va., on Monday evening, March 16, at Plymouth Church, Orange street, Brooklyn. This meeting is under the auspices of the Brooklyn Armstrong Association. ALABAMA REPUBLICANS Urgent to Stand by Administration and Secretary Taft.' BIRMINGHAM, ALA, March 11. To the Editor of The New York Age: The political situation in Alabama is clearly in the hands of the administration Republicans. In no county where the opposition has faced them in ooged combat have the administration forces failed to gain a signal victory; in fatf, there is no administration nor anti-Taft organization in Alabama. There has been no convention in the state composed of "antis" in which the attendance has gone over one hundred; and in most cases it has been less than fifty by far. Take for instance the so-called anti-conventions recently held in the Sixth and Seventh Districts. In the former less than a dozen people were present and in the latter hardened, than four. Every latter convention that has so far been regularly called has instructed delegates for Taft and there is now less likelihood of as much of asemblance of a fight being made in the districts that are yet to hold conventions. The Negroes of the South are beginning to think, are beginning to ask themselves the question: Who are the leaders of the opposition to the administration of President Roosevelt and the candidacy of Secretary Taft? There is only one reply that can be made and that is for the most part men who have all along been closely identified with the Libyans' movement which was very closely linked five years back as a Southern Negro Republican I am very anxious that our brothers elsewhere throughout the country first be sure they know the facts in the case before taking any steps which they may deem helpful to us here in the South in a political way. We favor Taft in Alabama because his training has been such as to fit him for the highest honor in the gift of the people; because we believe him to be fair and just to every citizen; because he stands for all the civil and political rights of the Negro and because we have every confidence in Theodore Roosevelt as to who should best carry out his progressive policies. We do not forget that in the present President of the United States we have a true and tried friend—one who has done more for the Negro than any President since the death of Abraham Lincoln. Look at the appointment of Hon. Chas. Anderson as Collector of Internal Revenue for the Second District of New York; of Hon. W. T. Vernon as Register of the Treasury, and Ralph Tyler as Auditor of the Navy. Recall his firm stand for right in the Indiana Post Office matter and the precedent he set in the Crum appointment at Charleston. You ask what of Brownville? I answer that if a race is to discard a friend, a friend true and tried because in meeting out justice as uses it, simply for one act that does not require any approval. Not race would soon be forced. Not Lot us weigh well and true his acts that have meant so much for us. Even for the sake of argument it is admitted that he made a mistake in Brownville, though the Senate Committee has agreed that he did not is there not enough and so spare left to show that he is our friend. Even now and when the votes are counted I am sure it will be shown that Nate face it with the administration and for Senate the truth is that the president G. W. A. Johnson. A WOMAN'S RECORD AS POST- MASTER. What Mrs E. L. Bumpfield Has Done at Heufont, S. C. The destination of Mrs. L. L. Bampfield to become a candidate for reappointment as postmistress come as a shock to her most intimate friends and the patrons of the beammount post office. Mrs. Bampfield has served seven years as postmistress, and during her administration, the office has grown steadily, and to-day compares favorably with those in other progressive towns in South Carolina in the eyes of the Post Office Department at Washington. Seven years ago the total receipts of this office amounted to something less than $3,000,000, when to-day the receipts from the sale of postage stamps alone amount to more than $5,000,000, and this year's receipts had tar to reach an all-time increase. The other has moved up to an international money order office, and an emergency money order fund has been placed to its credit in New York, all since her administration began. In the discharge of her duties as postmistress, she has always been kind, patient, pleasing and accommodating, always ready to do her whole duty. She is well versed in postal laws and regulations, always ready to give information wanted. We are all patient over her success as a representative of the post office department. She represents that type of Christian womanhood we all like to honor. Like her illustrious father, Hon. Robert Smalls, she has won a reputation in the department as an executive officer, for to help the systematic way in which the mails are handled at this place is due mainly to her thought power. Mrs. Bampbell has been complimented many times for penmanship and accuracy in figures. Truly she has been Baunfort's best postmaster in 25 years. A FOLK-LORE CONCERT Attractive Program of Negro and Indian Songs to Be Given A folk-lore concert will be given for the benefit of Hampton Institute in Mendelssohn Hall, New York City, Friday evening, March 13, at half-past eight. This concert will be under the auspices of the Armstrong Association. A unique and varied program will be given including work, game and worship songs of slavery days, sing by a chorus of Negro students; Indian student songs of Indian missionaries of war; the hunt; stereotypical pictures; a talk on Negro folk-lore by Major Robert R. Moton; old-time Negro legends told by an ex slave graduate of Hampton, and solos contributed by Mr. Henry T. Burleigh, the well-known baritone of New York. § The proceeds of the entertainment will be applied toward making up the present usual deficiency in contrubition of the work; ace two dollars, and may be obtained at the office of the Armstrong Association, 39 East Forty-second street. Telephone number 1786 38th. In declaring the attitude of The Conrant, we are not unmindful of the noble and heroic work done by Senator Foraker, in insisting upon a vigorous and thorough investigation of the shooting up of Brownville. For the use of forever harping upon that? While all that is true we can and have never seen yet the use of the Afro-American people in this country foenting, passing resolutions and going off into momentary resentment because of it, by denouncing everything and everybody who sees and believes that the country is just as safe to-day under Roosevelt or any other man, should choose to recommend as his logical successor the man in the history of the American Republic. Mr. Roosevelt has proven a great President and represents the aggressive spirit of the young men in politics of our country at whose hands we have always felt the Afro-American will best succeed and will be recognized as a man and given a square deal. How well that theory has been put into practice by Mr. Roosevelt so that as the Afro-American is misled must Roosevelt's most pronounced detractors among members of the Afro-American race today. We agree Mr. Roosevelt perhaps has not always been right in everything that he has done and said, and perhaps has made mistakes, but who does not? But this we all will agree, not since the 1960s when there been a strain in the White House half so courageous, half so brave and fair in dealing with all classes of American citizens as has Theodore Roosevelt, who by his square deal policy and open door opportunity, has recognized the Afro-American as an integral part of this great nation in a way that Panama as never before by other French leaders can do. The least that the Afro-American can do is to be consistent. — Philadelphia Courant. DR. SINCLAIR NOT NEEDED Virginia, People Can do Their Own Thinking and Their Own Acting. RICHMOND, VA., March 7, 1908. To the Editor of THE New York Agri. Just now the Afro-Americans in this country are being asked to a little carpet-bearer movement which is interesting them. We had thought the days of carpet-bagism were over, but it seems not. A man styling himself as "Dr. Sinclair, of Philadelphia, has camped here for a few days with the idea in view of teaching the Negroes of Virginia how they should vote or how they should align themselves as between the various candidates before the country for the Presidential nomination. We did not know much about "Dr. Sinclair, of Virginia, who looked up his record and we find that he seems to be a bird of passage. He seems to have no settled home, and has been conveniently used during the last three or four years to further any kind and every kind of movement that had a few dollars in it. Your correspondent wishes to state, and he speaks the sentiments of the rank and file of black people in the old Commonwealth, that we in this state are able to take care of our banks and insurance companies, in fact are doing business on a large scale. This demonstrates that we are able to take care of ourselves. As bankers and merchants, school teachers and professors we do not need to have carpet-bag instructors sent among us, especially a man who has never succeeded in any other business who are throwing away their money in some other better spend it in some other manner. We can do our own thinking and our own acting and when the proper time comes we will be heard from. CRIMINALITY. Serious Condition Exists in New Jersey If Facta are True. From The Newark Evening Star. The records of the New Jersey State Prison are of criminal courts showing such a large proportion of the crimi- nicality, are matched with the crimi- nical records of other States. The nati- ral statistics show that 18.35 per cent, of all prisoners at the last census were Negroes, although the Negro population is only 10 per cent of the whole. In Washington, D. C., less than 30 per cent of the population is Negro and 90 per cent of the convicts are of that race. In West Virginia the Negro population is only 5 per cent, and 55 per cent, of the prisoners in the State penitentiary Negroes. In the New Jersey state prison, in year there were 377 Negroes out of a prison population of 1,219, a percentage of 31 percent of 54 over the previous year, and 54 of a total population of 2,114,131 in 1905 the Negroes numbered only 79,185, or less than 4 per cent. In illiteracy the Federal census shows 183 per cent. Negro and 64 per cent. white in New Jersey, the native white being only 2.2 per cent. The Negro has greatly advanced in education since he was born, but as the criminal statistic shows, education not had the effect upon the race as a whole that was expected. There has been reinforced morally. We have all kinds of reformers and reforms nowadays, but small attention is paid to the welfare of the Negro, who in our state is shut out of remunerative employment, compelled to shift his race in ghettoes and left to shift for himself as best he can with a few grindling helps from white philanthropy. Delegates Instructed During the past few days two distinct district conventions have been held in Alabama, the third and sixth. In each case, there was a large and representative gathering present of accredited delegates. The Negro delegates were well represented in number and departed themselves credibly. Instructions were given to two delegates elected in each convention in favor of the nomination of Secretary Taft. The administration of President Roosevelt was endorsed. Strange as it may appear to the readers of The Ace, an effort is now being made by cert. parties in the North who have metroforet contended that they were the best friends of the Negro, to get the influence and help of the "lily white" element of the Republican party in the South. Boston, March 5.—The present and increasing efforts being put forth by the colored students of Greater Boston to aid of service in the religious and literary life of their people hereabouts, are deserving of the interest and commendation of the city. For dedication to this duty of "letting their light shine" they have been justly subjected in time past to public criticism and rejection, and the city is proud of the Harvard students and especially have they merited this censure for their apparent laziness and indifference to the responsibility which rises upon them. They are well suited to might for the general good. As a consequence of this lack of experience and confidence they have not been as practical helpful in the practical after life as we predict they will be in the future. We are therefore pleased to note that your Harvard men are on the program for this half year at St. Mark's Literary. The first of these, Mr. F. Q. Morton, of Washington, D.C., a former Harvard student and at present in the Boston University School of Law and a "varity" debater at Harvard, spoke thoughtfully and eloquently last Sunday on "An Analysis of the Race Problem with Reference to the South." He said in substance that improvement of the Negro's economic status largely through industrial education would automatically work his political and social betterment and salvation. Further he said that well directed and conservative agitation for these ends and for equal opportunity for Negro youth was a necessary accompaniment. Among those speaking on the subject were: Means, Chas, Scales, W. O. Taylor, John McDaniels, Rev. S. A. Brown, Misses Henderson and Jackson and Mr. Clement G. Morgan. In this same connection we are pleased to note from the New York Tribune, the presence of the following four Harvard men at the great Negro conference just before Cliff Williams, the instructor at Hampton and agent of the Slater Fund; Messes, Clement Richardson, of the Atlanta Baptist College faculty; Walter H. Marshall, of the industrial Institute, Alabam, and Geo. W. Harris, correspondent of the New York Tribune and Boston Transcript, all of the class of 1907. The latter as your correspondent feels that he may not be his impulse. If you happen to be in the ability of his race and therefore entertains doubts concerning its future or orn see no light on the solution of the race problem, "let him, as Colonel W. H. Marshall, of the industrial Institute, aaze, "visit Tuskegee." Your correspondent, besides being honored by being a guest at "The Oaks," the palatial residence of the geniuses of it all, Dr. and Mr. H. Marshall, shown especial accommodations by that perless, admirable secretary and man, Mr. Enmett J. Scott. From time to time we have called attention to the unostentious yet successful organizations for the uplift of the masses centering around the Benjamin Historical Club association at 218 Northampton street. The Benjamin Bauncker Historical Club meeting there and studying only the great Negroes of history, the African Americans, and a splendid first anniversary banquet, to which more than sixty persons sat down.

In answer to a large number of inquiries from time to time relative to "Sui Jure Rodak" repting, it is the norm de plume of Brother W. Preston Moore, past exalted ruler of Brooklyn Lodge. No. 22 Brother Will Grant, of Philadelphia, in the Tribune under date of March 1, 1858, has the following a series of publication and consolidation: "The Tribune remained without until after the Reading session. Seeing the great possible of future colored Elkdom and the necessity of unity, the writer turned his attention to the defensive side of this argument, and, although a serious point of article, we have received a number of favorable letters from several legales and prominent officers on the Atkins side agreeing in part with our argument for unity. It is a well known case that our process has been the most organization, depends very largely upon how closely we unite or force. Now that the contending parties are ready for peace, the members generally should work in unity for one specific purpose and that is consolidation. The only time agreed to unite with several other papers and do what he can toward the end." "The several Elk writers also wish it to be generally known that they are not seeking any office, and what they are doing is for the benefit of the Elks' Order generally. We follow this course, and Brother Grant shows a motivations spirit in his recent articles on recollection and unity, which meets the hearty approval and cooperation of the undersigned, who will honor forthomely cooperate with both in among fraternal activities along the avenues of brotherly love and integrity, and in the operation and outline terms of homelabration of Afro-American Elkism. On March 1, Bricklyn Linne, No. 21, L. R. P. O'Leks of the World, rejoined grenade no. 10 over the large attendance of the Army, the large attendance of the clave of appreciable Authors of the Forces. Among the visiting Authors we saw Brothers M. S. Dany, called after the hungling E. E. H. Adolph, E. E. H. Adolph, C. P. Stevens, George Williams and W. Hammond, of Imperial Lodge, No. 127, of the Bronx, N. Y. Brother Exalted Rubie F. Burke, Brother Exalted Rubie F. Burke, the visiting Authors and they made themselves comfortable while in our mystic circle of business activities and others. Brother Benjamin Linne and James A. Brooks reported still on the sick list. Two weeks' sick benefits of $16, by recommendation of Chairman Benjamin F. Williams, ordered paid Brother Linne. Brother R. J. Sutton, G. Allanway are recently sustained painful injuries in an automobile accident. He is now confined to his bed suffering from a dislocation of two broken ribs and other serious injuries. Brother Chairman Williams, of the Relief Committee, reported the deaths of Brothers Joseph W. Ebley, Harry Gardiner and of the M. Macdonald, chair of the chair, voted $100 each to the widows of Brothers Gardiner and Ebley. Brother Chase being uninancial a collection was taken up through the recommendation of Brother E. Burton Ceruti toward finish of the Chase. The membership contributed liberally to the collection turned over to Brother W. A. Brown, who, by order of the judge, donated the same to the Knights of Pythias, who buried the deceased, although unfinancial at the time of death. Surely a most worthy attitude. The following citizens made regular application for membership: Memora, Richard Fields, William W. J. Springer, J. M. Cumberbald, Perry Harris and E. H. Smith. These applications favor hands of the investigating committee for further investigation and recommendation for initiation. The following antlers were appointed Don't be Burned Out and Have Nothing Left. by Exalted Ruler E, Burton Ceruti a committee on resolutions of condolence: Brothers W, Preston Moore, W. A. Brown and Benjamin W. A. Brown, be sent the relatives of the deceased author and a copy to the Afro-American Press of Greater New York. Exalted Ruler Ceruti after hearing timely remarks on the status of our examining physicians and what should constitute their duties, appointed a committee on Medical Pressure of Rocky Lodge No. 52, and to report to the writer. Exalted Ruler Ceruti, Brothers W, Preston Moore, J. A. Tayor, C. L. Williams and Dr. O. Meredith Waller, advisor to the committee. Timely and approachable reports from C. L. Williams and Dr. O. Meredith Waller, by the writer is very encouraging to say the least. The authors of Greater Lakes Lodge, No. 45, claim to be standing all right with the Gammaussian books of Eik in Chicago, and the American Elks of W. Johnson, 418 and 290 Clark street, that if a colored man is not an Eik in Chicago his chance of securing a desirable position is very slim indeed; the Eik of American Elks all desirable vacant positions within their gift. Further news from another source relative to the "Windy City" has it that the borough's ledger, presented, Iowa, and Milwaukee, Wis., have affiliated with the offspring fraternity and that two other lodges of the parent organization are pending investigation for affiliation with the Gender Inner Guard, was elected Exalted Ruler of Greater Lakes Lodge at their last regular conference of Aufters. On March 12th they will hold a monster public installation of Eels will be present to witness the event. There is an undercurrent at friendly unity between the Causanian and Afro-American Eels of Chicago, which has for years been without orientation or distinction of race, or creed. Will the "Southern Causanian Eels" endorse such a grand movement? We think not, but perhaps they will endorse it. Hornick, P. E., No. 21. Jersey City, N. M. C. A. Nate. Last Sunday afternoon the Y.

Thursday evening was not as well at hand as yesterday, there was, however, a representative judging the deep appreciation for what was being done for the people. Editor J. E. Robinson had charge of the meeting and introduced Samuel Nottron, secretary of the committee, to the working of the committee, showing the much good it had already done and the growing interest of the people in the aim and object of the founders of said movement, and the spoke at length on the position, condition and future of the Negro in America. He based his argument on "Life Abundant Life." He said: "I would urge that you make life for yourselves be infusing into it all of the necromachy things in your life, more abundant, broader, more in demand by becoming thorough in all you do; fit yourself for positions, and then go, not with fear and trembling, but with confidence and ask to be allowed the opportunity to prove yourselves. The creative belongs to the Negro; it is in them to shape it in the Negro; they will shake off the lethargic mantle" Sunday afternoon the lyceum was well attended. A good program was rendered.

THE CHURCH AND THE THEATRE In a recent issue of the New York Globe an interesting as well as timely editorial was published on the subject "The Church and the Theatre." There is much good the church and the theatre can accomplish by harmoniously and conservatively working together toward the betterment of mankind. When we speak of the church and the theatre cooperating we do not draw a picture of the variety stage or a music hall working hand in hand with a church whose teaching is that the only route to the promised land is by way of that one certain faith or none at all. This is the day of broad-mindedness, an era of advancement and ideas. Particularly true has it been the case in the past that there has been a mighty chasm between the Negro church and the African expatriate community. The attitude summed by the former. We believe there is good in every thing, and we believe in co-operation. We further believe in all good elements coming together to bring about results that are ultimately bound to be of the beat. Furthermore, we suggest that the best elements of the church are the hands of the church hands and effectively preach sermons in their spheres. We highly commend the following article from the Globe for perusal: "At the Belasco Theatre Sunday night the Rew. William Carter, of the Madison Avenue Reformed Church; made his first appearance before the footlights. He preached to standing room on in fact to be closed and a portion of the would-be audience refused admission. On the same evening Mr. Otis Skinner occupied the pulpit of a Universalist church in a neighboring suburb and was greeted by an equally crowded house. There was apparently no collision between the two, the simultaneoument of their invasion one another and the consequent coincidence. The thought naturally suggested by the coincidence seems, however, worthy of more attention. Why wouldn't it be a wholesome thing if such exchanges were regularly arranged for? The theatre has much to learn from the church, and, fact, in many of its aspects is more need of religious teaching than any other popular social institution. The church on the other hand, could not fail the public to be clearer appreciation of its virtues and a more intelligent understanding of its rites. "The idea is open to a very cheap and easy form of ridicule. One has only to imagine Mr. Joseph Weber or Genele, for instance, expounding the drama to a congregation of hard-shell Baptists or old-fashioned strait-laced Presbyterians to develop a situation of which human would be incapable of understanding. Representatives of the ministry whose manifestations on the stage would be equally farcical are not difficult to imagine. But that actors like Mr. Skinner and preachers like Dr. Carter may have useful messages for one another's audiences is not only quite within the bounds of serious discussion but, in fact, rather probable. At any rate, the church has hurt by an experiment, and the theatre might be greatly benefited, which latter consideration, in these days of problem plays and such, is a weighty argument in favor of giving it a trial." J. F. Morre Leaves Pekin Theatre to Join "Bandana Land." CITICAGO, March 11—J. F. Mores has tendered his resignation as a member of the Pekin Stock Company. He will join the Williams and Walker Company in New York March 11, and will be given a position in the firm him. Instead of the final in the first act in which Williams and Walker sing a song entitled "Until Then," assisted by the male members of the company, a new number will be given the young baritone singer. The entire chorus will assist him in the ensemble which Messrs. Rogers andook claim will be the greatest dancer among number ever put on by Negroes. Mores is an ambitions young man who has profited by his schooling at the Pekin more than any other performer who ever worked at the little theatre. He first attracted unusual notice in Ernest Hogan's "Rufus Hastus" Company the first season. When the company closed for the summer there over since, he possesses considerable dramatic ability a necessary requisite nowadays for a successful singer. Pekin and Columbia Theatres Doing Nice Business. CITICAGO. March 10.—With 65 colored performers divided between two theatres and the Pekin and Columbia playhouses doing good business. Robert Moors is beginning to feel humiliated by a regular Kluw and BKw and by himself. In no way has business been affected at the Pekin by the debut of the new playhouse. There seems to be enough patrons on the north and south sides to support colored theatres in both sections of the Windy City. All the new people have gone to work, including Bass Foster, Allie Gillam, Walter Crumpel, Frank Cantonger, and Jeffrey Cliff. All of them, Lulu Lawson, Blanche Arlington, Leng Mitchell and Maggie Tyler. Both Races Attired Cantata in Abingdon, Va. ANIKGODY, VA., March 8.—The cantata rendered by the colored people in the Town Hall recently was in all respects enjoyable, and in many respects remarkable. The music and all the performances were highly credible, both in conception and exequency—reflecting credit on the leader, Prof. Brother, and all who took part. The singing was good throughout. The audience was, perhaps, unlike any that ever assembled here. One side of the hall was reserved for white people, and it was filled by the best citizens—young and old, of the town, who paid THE BANK OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Studio of Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook, Director of School of Expression Washington Conservatory of Music EDITED BY LESTER A. WALTON their money to attend the show. The other side of the hall was filled with the best colored people of the town and community. It was a representative audience of both races. The order and decorum was of the best. A goodly sum was realised, which will be used in the purchase of an organ for the colored school: Eiyalum Theatre Closed Until After NEW ORLEANS, March 11.—Things are very quiet here in the theatrical world: On account of Lent, the Ellysium Theatre will be dark until after Easter. From present indications there will be great activity in the amusement line after Easter. Negro contractors have been given no little consideration in the awarding of bids for the construction of the K. P. Building, in which will be the finest colored theatre in the United States. Out of the $175,000 worth of bids, W. Winston was worth of work. J. W. Winston was awarded the contract for plastering which amounted to $12,000; Rosien & Co. the contract for the brick work, to reach $20,000. The carpentry and other work will be done by colored mechanics. W. W. Winston was Chairman of the K. P. Lodge, in due considerable praise for the judicious manner in which he has managed the preliminary work for the construction of the building. He has received able assistance from Attorney F. B. Smith. If the plans of Vice Chancellor Greene are not upset the theatre for the building will be opened in early Fall. Lew Hall, manager of the Elsium Theatre, has just completed a three-act comedy drama called "The Hissing Generation," which he built. The drama is the third dramatic effort of Mr. Hall within a few months. His other works are "From Dixie to Manila," a three-act military comedy, and "Duke of Bragga," a piece in three acts. Mr. Hall contemplates spending his vacations summer in New York and Chicago. Biodiversity PHILADELPHIA, March 10—The Smart Set, with S. H. Dudley, opened at the National Theatre Monday for a week's run. This company is an old favorite in the Quaker City and it goes without saying that the show is making good.

They will be here for a week. "Black Politician" Will be at Ameri- There is any amount of legitimate fun, laughter, wit and endurable novelty in the new comedy drama, "The Black Politician," which has been selected to exploit the rare talents of the Smart Set Company, the musicians, the dancers and artists, who will be seen at the American Theatre Monday, March 30 and week following. "The Black Politician" is wedded to tuneful music and has other attractions Studio of Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook Washington Conservat that are said to be highly entertaining. The play is in three nets and deals with the ever-mistakingly funny efforts of a humble Negro to break into the animals of noted politicians. S. H.

To quote a popular expression, Hezekiah "makes good." As aeward he receives the hand in marriages of Palora Boreland, the daughter of one of the most famous women known, has been in love for a long time. The complications are side-splitting and interest, it is said, is not allowed to lag even to the final curtain. It is claimed the management has spared no expense in procuring an elaborate scenic outfit with appropriate stage settings and the cost of the final matinee will be given on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, and despite the strength of the attraction the usual prices will be maintained. Williams and Walker Continue to Draw Big Houses. There is no doubt in the mind of Manager F. Ray Cogstock that "Bandanna Land" will remain in New York until the middle of spring—possibly longer. The test was made last week—the first week in Lent. Although this is the second month of the colored comedians at the Majestic Theatre they played to nearly $10,000 on the week, which proved conclusively to the management that Lent not materially hurt "Bandanna Land." Not only is the Smart Set finding favor in the colored show but the best singers from the Metropolitan and Manhattan Opera Houses are wending their way to Broadway and 50th street, to see the musical novelty of the season. Caruso, the famous tenor from the Metropolitan Opera House, attended a performance the first part of last week and was no delighted with Abbie Mitchell, whose performance that week given an introduction to the little singer. Saturday evening Madame Tetrazini, who has created the greatest sensation in musical circles for many days, witnessed a performance from a box with Impressario Oscar Hammerstein and applauded heartily. --- THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1908 The image provided is too blurry and pixelated to accurately recognize any text or content.

Studio of Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall, President Washington Conservatory of Music Abbie Mitchell-Cook, prima donna in "Bandana Land," has quit work in indulently owing to ill health. She was compelled to retire from the company last week and has been confined to her bed with a nurse constantly in attendance. The doctors are unable to state just when she will be able to rejoin the company. Overwork is the cause of her illness. On returning this fall from a strenuous tour through Europe she immediately took up contracts on this side without taking any rest. That she is greatly missed in her song, "Red, Red Rose," goes without saying. John Bailey Dead John Bailey, known throughout the United States as a performer of merit, died Monday after a short illness. Over a year ago he became a victim of tuberculosis, but surprised his many friends last fall by appearing in New York apparently in the best of health. Four weeks ago he took out a company known as the "Chicken Trust," of which he was the star. It was booked for one-night stands throughout Pennsylvania and Ohio.

Sometimes Miss Oriena makes a noise—when she sits down to the plane. Will Francisco meets new and old friends everywhere. He has travelled these parts before. Miss Ethel James goes to the matinees when she has no performances and she usually cries when the villian steals the child or the wife is deserted at the altar.

When everyone in the theatre is crying she is laughing at the other going. Proof Heilmann williams is longing to get to Cleveland, where the big ball will be held in honor of Cole and Johnson and himself. It is going to be a full dress fair. Sam Corker, Jr., the "greatest agent under the sun," was unable to see the big show for two weeks. He met the old folks, in Detroit and old us some new friends. He is in a population of first-class story-teller and has a fresh one every day. Miss Elizabeth Williams as "Phoebe Jackson," makes the usual hit every time she sees little "Dumplin" Face." Mayme Butler wants the show to play Philadelphia again. Philadelphia is her home and when there she lives like the stars—always in an automobile. Miss Phoebe is a natural-born athlete.

Henry Gunt has commenced "getting together" for the baseball season. He was out practicing this week, throwing snowballs. He calls it training. John Wesley Jenkins has invited several of the members of the company to spend the summer with him at Sheepshead Bay at his beautiful home. In the meantime he has told them he has to pay rent, so you can use your own jacket. Theodore L. Pankey is "doping" out all the baseball teams. He can tell you about baseball away back in the '70's.

G. Henry Tapley continues to hold that high "G" in the corporation song, and claims he can hold the note longer on a wager. As it is the note is sustained about 14 beats. Maze Bush has within the past few days gone after the Tapley high "G" in Henry Toy's song, "Just the Same". The little blonde-haired songbird is manking some Song Building notes. The only subject "Strut" Payne will talk about nowadays for over two minutes is baseball. Even in the Bon Po Bunly chance he some oftimes to be studying how to line up the W. and W. team for the season. Marguerite Ward and Bessie Thomas are two little chorus girls who appear to be about "steen years old from the stage. Mosses, Shipp and Moore assert they don't really know their correct ages.

Bob Cole Freeres Ear by Taking Advice from Ernest Hagen Since Ernest Hogan has been in the mountains for his health he has developed a habit of giving his intimate friends advice on the subject "How to Keep Healthy, Yet Freeze." In a new letter to Bob Cole of the "Shoe-Fly Regiment" the "Unblerchief American" told his friend he good he was feeling by sleeping out in the open air. Believing that he could improve his health some by resorting to the "air methods" of Ernest Hogan a bright thought struck Bob Cole and he resolved to sleep hereforth without fire. On arriving at Bay City, Mich., a show friend he went to a hotel known throughout Michigan as the "Fee House" and asked the clerk for a room without fire. That night it was 20 degrees below zero. While the comedian of the "Shoe-Fly Regiment" secured a goodly supply of blankets he found on going down to breakfast next morning that his left ear was frozen in his attempt to inhale fresh air during the night.? He has written a letter to Ernest Hogan asking him to hereafter refrain from reciting his great methods of hygienic existence; that all he wanted to know in the future is how the "Oyster Man" is getting along. Since the Michigan jackknife we members have been fined $5 piece for overcrowding the "fair" air" style of living." Unless you speak of steam-heated rooms in the presence of Hob Cole you are apt to get an icy Michigan stare. Pekin Notes.

Miss Pinkie Cooper has joined the Pekin forces and is appearing this week at the Pekin in "Peanutville." Matt Marshall has written two new songs for this week's show, Peanutville, called "The Ain't No Such Thing" and "There Ain't No Such Thing as a Friend." The melodies are by Shelton Brooks. C. D.

In the act are Harry Reed, Nettie Glenn, Milder Price, Bostrine Bowen and Clarice Wright. 100 To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE In behalf of the timekeeper and my self, I would like to inform the public of the time facts concerning the basket ball game referred to in your Issue of I Am not going to discuss the merit of either team, but simply power the injustice done the officials when the writer of that article placed the detain of the St. Christopher team upon the heads of the referee and timekeeper Mr Lewis stated that the St. Christopher team won the game with the score of 12 to 14. I would differ with him and will prove my assertion. On January 10 the basketball teams of the Smart Set A. C and the St. Christopher Club met at the Incarnation Parish House to play the league game scheduled for that date. The game was called at 8:10 and went on smoothly the first half. Unfortunately at half and half both teams began play. During the last 10 minutes of play Mr. Robert Latimore drilled the ball down the court and made a pass resulting in a goal. The captain of the St. Christopher team came to me and stated he would not allow his team to continue unless I called Mr. Latimore's goal a foul, allowing 15.5 points. Official Athletic Guild has been violated. As I did not see where I was justified to do so I gave the St. Christopher team five minutes to resume play; two minutes more than they were entitled to, and stated I would forfeit the game to the Smart Set A. C, if not compiled with at the expiration of that time. After arguing for six minutes the St. Christopher Club continued playing the game, that they were game as section 12 rule 11 states: "That any team refusing to play within three minutes after receiving instructions to do so from the referee shall forfeit the game." The official score was 17 to 14 in favor of the Smart Set A. C. Now if the writer of that article of March 5 had only studied the rules of Joustball probably Mr. Allen Johnson and Mr. Arthur Frisell should have been such poor and ridiculous grounds. Section 7 of rule 12 reads as follows: "There shall be no protest against the decision of the officials-except in regard to interpretation of rules." As I have given the public the state of affairs which existed in that contest I Pekin Noten. feel that I have done my duty toward the MAGNUS, K. CHAPMAN, Ju. Referee. The Young Men's Progressive Club. The Young Men's Progressive Club gave their first annual ball and reception March 5th, at Tammany Hall. Minims attended this ball and says it was one of the most successful balls of the season, the attendance being nearly 1,100. The magnificent dresses of the ladies gave the ball a rich effect. At 12:30 a. m., the grand match took place. The president of the Progressive Club was very much pleased when he found that Minims was willing to lead the grand meet and said the entire club would extend their hospitality to castings. The Highersow Social Club, of New York, Miss Rachel Wilson, president, and the Nonpareil Social Club, of New York, Mr. George Green, president, were competitors for two very handsome prizes. The Highersow Club won the first and the Nonpareil the second. The prize was a handsome punch bowl, the prize was a lemonade seashell, the prize was a green receiving thesis, prizes, each made a pointed little speech. Prof. Mimms announced that he had three new dances, which are being taught by the New Palace Hall, 51st street and Seventh avenue, every Tuesday evening. PHILOSOPHICAL READING CIRCLE. Discusses Teachings of Socrates and Christ at Lant Meeting. The regular meeting of the Philosophical Reading Circle was held at the residence of Counsellor and Mrs. A. C. Cowan, 16 Downing street, Brooklyn last Friday evening. The meeting was called to order by the president, S. R. Seatron. The feature of the evening was a paper prepared by Rev. Joseph E. Haines in with The Poetines of New and Christ. Owing to the illness of Rev. Mr. Haynes the paper was read by his son, Counsellor Haynes. The paper which was an able and instructive one was commented on at length for its excellence. Prof. D. E. Tobias opened the discussion. Counsellor James D. Currgay gave an excellent talk on the different crosses of the world. Counsellor James C. Cowan, of China, Indian, Egypt, the Romans and Hercules, and stated that the religions of the world represented certain evolutions. Others who spoke were: Mesdames DeKnight, Robinson, Jones and Cowan. So much unequivocal were the members in the discussion that the president, with the unanimous consent of the circle, to send Rev. Mr. Haynes an invitation to extend the paper for the second reading. The circle was highly entertained by Damian De-Knight and Proof, J. F. K. Wylsh AN 18-YEAR RECORD. H, L. Scott of Houston, Texas, to Retire as Letter Carrier After a Fimile Record. WASHINGTON, March 19—The Post Office Department has recently accepted the resignation of Mr. H. L. Scott, father of Mr. Emmett L. Scott, private secretary to Dr. Barker F. Washington, the president of the firm for efficient service has been ordered written for him. Mr. Scott has been a better carrier at Houston, Texas, for more than eighteen consecutive years, having been appointed by President Harrison, and his record is flawless. It is impressed that Mr. Scott will embark in business. Something is to be done to relieve the tension of feeling brought about by the Brownsville incident. Senators Warner, Lodge and Warren, Republicans, are conferring on a measure to be introduced into the Senate which they hope will clarify the situation to a very helpful extent. The tentative plan is to authorize the discharged soldiers who may be able to convince the department of his innocence of participation in the affray. It is likely that an agreement can be reached on this line, for it is known that Senators Hienoway and Bulkley are willing to do anything to assist the soldiers, and a majority of the committee the matter in the light suggested by the Lodge, Warren and the heads of the administration give for the breach that, since only a note handful could have had anything to do with the "shooting up" in the worst analysis, it will not be difficult for 90 per cent of the battalion to establish their innocence through proving an alibi. Politics, they say, has intervened to the detention of the men, and this gardened action has resulted about 400 soldiers and at the same time rid the subject of any political coloring which might otherwise attach to it. A prominent administration leader states that the President is anxious to dispose of the controversy on lines of justice, and that he may give this measure his endorsement. It is argued that the compromise will be effective a reinstatement of the men but as individuals, and as a battalion, and this method might to be satisfactory all comprehended. Mr. J. G. Napier, the recognized leader of the colored forces of Tennessee, the cashier of the One Cent Savings Bank at Nashville, and a practicing attorney of note, was in the city last week, attending the banquet in honor of Auditor Toler. He was 60 route from a meeting of the James educational fund, held in New York. It is Mr. Napier's opinion that Secretary Taft will be the nominee of the Republican party in June, and he is confident that the Negro voters will give him their cordial support at the polls November. Mr. Napier offered to Mr. Taft's alibi a schedule and traditions, his course in the Philippines as indicative of his lonely attitude toward the darker ones, and pointed to his repeated declarations of fealty to the "War. Amendments," establishing the right of the Norte to citizenship. "If unto President," said Mr. Napier, "it is my earnest belief that Secretary Taft will use the whole power of his position to influence sentiment in the South favorable to the acceptance in good faith of the 15th Amendment."

Free until April 1st illiteracy will be wiped out, and with our material possessions approximating nearly a billion dollars in value, furnishes the evidence, convincing and complete, that we have outgrown our nursery garments; that we are helping ourselves, and that we are able to stand alone, and almost walk without assistance. Negro New York Anarchist. As long as we remain a part of this government, and citizens of it, we must be for it. The man who is against his government because of a single act, is too narrow to make a useful citizen. We have been handicapped in the past, 'tis true, but history fails to record a single Negro leader, recognizing as a single Negro man who assumed an anarchistic stand against the government. If not, then, why now when conditions are so much more propitious? If not, when we had Presidents outspokenly against the rights of citizenship for us, why now when we have for a Chief Executive a man who is, and has been outspoken, his advocacy against the New Yorkan that vouchsafed to all native born or naturalized citizens by the constitution? While we must act for ourselves, and do for ourselves, yet our future advancement is in no small degree dependent upon our harmonious relations to and with the dominant class. We do not have to sacrifice one biff of manhood, nor become craven cowards to promote helpful harmony. I say let us contend for everything, every right vouchsafed by the constitution, but let us contend like just and sincere men, and within our province as patriotic citizens. And let me add, bitter, and continual denunciations of men whom the great major of men placed in a position to interpret or execute the law does not constitute patriotism. And that unreasonable and violent abuse of men chosen by your peers to execute the laws, and who do execute as God gives them light to see it, is dangerously close to anarchy. There is a wide difference between honest difference and abuse. Winning Power of Persuasion The best way in which you can drive the white man to, and that is resentment. To everything else he must be persuaded. We will be upright, honest, industrious living, finally convince him that our rights are only those which a citizen is granted, and when he is convinced, he will be persuaded to respect them and abide by the constitution. When the conduct of men can be influenced, and it nearly always can, persuasion, kind and unassuming, should always be adopted. It is an old and true maxim that "a drop of honey catches more lies than a gallon of gall. And so with men. If we were convinced then that we are sincere, honest friends of the same country, and not enemies of the same country. Here in Washington, a city whose one third population is colored, our duty as a race, in order to benefit ourselves and posterity, is plain. The Negroes of Washington alone have a prejudice in the entire country to a point where it will become a maximum degree of fair play. You have more illiteracy here than is desired, but that is a regretful legacy from slavery, and it is more a reproach on the white man to-day than on our race. But you also have such a large per cent. men, the average that the effect of ignorance, is to a large degree neutralized by your splendid men and women. The education of the race is necessary to make all morally upright, industrious and useful citizens; is just as necessary to insure the white man against evil as to insure stable citizenship for the Negro. Education for classes and masses is the keystone in the arch of safe government. President Not Hostile to Negro. I shall not attempt to defend the President, for the good and sufficient reason that his course, so far as it relates to our race, is so helpful to our defense consistently fair that it forms its own defense. But I wish to point out that all criticism of our Chief Executive by men of our race has been based upon the assumption that the color of skin was the controlling factor in his consideration and determining of questions that just so happened as to offer us the opportunity to unwarrantable assumption, an unreasonable assumption in view of the fact that his every utterance and every act, when he had our race particularly in mind, have been decidedly pro-Negro. When he has given utterance or performed acts that resulted in direct benefit to us as a race we speak of race prejudice, and that Rosenfeld knew no man by his color; that he was not actuated by a man's color to help or hinder. Now if we ascribe this virtue to him when we were directly benefited, how can we consistently disclaim this virtue for him when he performs an act that may just so happen as to strike some member of the race? If we fail to be consistent, how can we unjustly abuse it? If we unjustly abuse how can we condemn others if they presume? If we persist in crawling through a barbed-wire fence, how can we complain if the barbs prick us? If we marshal ourselves against our friends, how can we blame our friends if they marshall with our enemies? Danger Lies in Unjust Criticism, We cannot, as a race, afford an assurance to诈害 any enemy in order to instigate a station on enemy to our present and future when we have no just grounds for so assuming. I sometimes fear that we are more energetic in seeking points to criticize than we are in seeking points to praise. Chronic criticism breeds the pessimist, and the pessimist is an enemy to advenience. We cannot afford to differentiate between real and sincere feelings in our work at the gallery. We please from the gallery is not always indicative of the exercise of the reasoning faculties. Too frequently it is an evidence of passion easily aroused. We have not so many valuable friends that we can afford to lose a single one. I honestly believe we are wearing a crisis that will be followed by a glorious future, if our safe and same leaders be followed. But if the wild, irresponsible noisy witness with hope is just ahead, for our enemies, within and without, are missing against us. I do not believe in yielding one single point that bears on the preservation of the rights of citizenship. Neither do I believe in raising a single point that may tend to abrogate our rights as citizens. I may be criticized by some of my race for advocating and insisting that our ship be steered straight to the middle of the stream to avoid the roots and rocks near the coast, but little do I care for well. I know that the ship is designed midshipmen are deposit, a valuable asset of its owners that the ship that hung the coast, only to be, sooner or later, vast upon a roof or dashed to pieces on the rocks. Some people find more pleasure in following a hearse around than others do in riding on a bandwagon. Noither, necessarily, typifies a principle, but there is more exhilarating hope in the breaths of the occupants of the bandwagon than in the breasts of those pulling the hearse. The former are headed for the temple of the living; the latter are due to arrive at the cemetery. The bandwagon crowd typifies optimistic animation. The other, Universal Service and Designability, one thing list us remember always, that no matter what success we may achieve; no matter to what enlisted position any of us may be run, we must be becoming of us. In fact the we owe that success owe that position to our fellow men, white and black, and in consequence thereof we should be of service to everybody, without regard even to the fact that we may be colored and they white. And those of us who succeed should always be sympathetically near to those who struggle only to fall. Life in such a dependent existence is not a good place for a biproductal action can we, as a race, bring about the harmony which is so absolutely necessary to a happy co-existence. Some Letters of Regret. Below are given a few of the letters of regret received and read in the course of the evening by Toastmaster Terrell: Dr. Moekar T. Washington's Tribute. Tukeague Institute, Ala., March 1, 09. My Dear Judge Terrell—I am very sorry that previously arranged engagements with my attorney required the dinner tendered in honor of Auditor Ralph W. Tyler. I have the very highest regard for the ability and character of Mr. Tyler. He is reflecting credit upon our entire race by discharging the delicate and exacting duties of his position with credit and distinction. In the highest sense he is the type of man that all of us can honor and respect. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Good Words from Mr. Emmett J. Scott. My Dear Judge Terrell—I cordially appreciate your very courteous invitation suggesting my presence at the banquet to be tendered our mutual friend. Ralph W Tyler, on Monday evening, March 2. I wish I could be present. I would be, if I possibly could so arrange, but even though not present in the flesh I shall be in spirit. I admire the man—his qualities of head, no less than his qualities of heart. He has come to a commanding prominence in the life of the elemental rules of leadership and has established himself in the hearts of his friends and of all who know him beat, because they know that he plays the game "on the level," and because the adjective fetch is in his fetch. He is always for them, and against all who are against him. Please be good enough to extend to him and his hosts the cordial expression of my good wishes and my heartiest congratulations. You're sincerely. EMETT J. S.COTT. Telegram of Collector Anderson. New York City, March 2. '08. Judge R. H. Ternell, care James W. Gray; Although my bag is packed ready for the start to Washington. I care Mrs. Anderson'sould adhere will prevent my staying her bedside. I assure you that nothing less serious could possibly prevent me from participating in the well-deserved testimonial to Auditor Tyler, whom I regard as one of the oldest members and most satisfactory representatives of our race. YOURS. CHARLES W. ANDERSON. Register Version's Letter. Treasury Department. Office of the Register, Feb. 26, 1908. Dear Sir,—I regret to say that because of the meeting of the State Convention in Kansas, I cannot be present at the dinner to be given to Hon. Ralph W. Tyler author of the new department, Monday evening at McKinney. I assure you that my sympathies are with the occasion. Since coming to Washington and assuming the duties of this most responsible position, Mr. Tyler has demonstrated the capabilities of the elemental, progressive Negro to successfully fill the most responsible places. His career has been one reflecting great success himself and the race. We do well to our appreciation of such men, for by so doing we honor ourselves. I hope this occasion may be all that Mr. Tyler's most ardent supporters and enthusiastic friends desire; all that he so well deserves; one of the fullest success. Again assuring you of my appreciation of him and this great effort, and again expressing regret that I cannot be present, I am. W. T. VERNON Meansage from the Buckeye State. The Hollanden, Cleveland, O. 32-208, My Dear Terrell. I thank you for your thoughtful consideration and kind invitation to join with you and your friends in paying honor to our mutual friend, Bobby W. Tyler, through the medium of a banquet. It is sincerely pleasurable to know that Mr. Tyler has made good to the extent that you people feel incumbent to honor him in this way. I wish to add that no act of his- wife, political or moral, will ever bring the blush of shame to you gekochen. He is a unn among the cheerful and saintly closest友 friend I have. I shall therefore await with much anxiety his account of the affair. Yours very truly. GEORGE A. MYERS. The Cleveland Journal. Cleveland, O, Feb. 27. Justice R. H. Terrell. Permit me to thank you for our kind invitation to the banquet given in R. W. Tyler. I regret very much my inability to be with you. It is very gratifying, however, to see the manner in which you are honoring Mr. Tyler. I feel sure he is eminently worthy of the recognition. Yours very truly. NATURA D. BRANSCHER. Cleveland, O, Feb. 27. Wednesday, O., Feb. 26. Hon. R. H. Terrell, I thank you for heartily for your kind invitation to assist in doing the honor to our mutual friend, Hon. Ralph W. Tyler. It would give me great pleasure to attend, were it not for a previous occasion, which renders my coming impossible. Mr. Tyler is richly pleased to have you bestow upon him. Ohio is proud of the splendid record he is making at the nation's capital. Very truly yours. THOMAS W. FLEMING. Cleveland, O., Feb. 26, 98. Justice R. H. Terrell, I thank you for kind invitation to attend in honor of Ohio's son, R. W. Tyler. You have my best wishes that the occasion will be all that you hope for. New York, Feb. 28, 05. Hon. Robert H. Terrell—I beg to acknowledge your kind invitation to be present at a banquet given in honor of Mr. R. W. Tyler on Monday, March 2, 2014. We request a degree of ability to be present. It would afford me much pleasure to participate in this testimonial to Mr. Tyler, whose newspaper work on a well-known Ohio daily, as well as his contributions under an enigmatic non-de plume, have stamped him as an able and effective writer. It is a source of gratification to all members of the "Fourth Estate" that one of their number should be elevated to such high official position as Mr. Tyler. Personnel of the Party.

Fred. R. Moore, with his characteristic nerve, poured a broadside of shot and shell into the radical corner, and those who had been muttering about "bolting" the Republican party in case the nomination did not go to their favorite, shut up on them and nominated them as "empty-headed" Negroes, windhammen who had no vote, and suggested that they resign if they could not stand for an administration that kept them from going to the "poor farm for life." Moore was "the hottest thing that ever came down the pike." Judge Terrell was at his best as toastmaster and poured oil on the troubled waters at the psychological moment. Theodore M. McLoyle and Mrs. Anderson were graceful tributes to two of the race's lovely ladies. District Attorney Colb "went some" in eulogy of the influence of the colored lawyer in the uplift of the race, and made the speech of his life. Recorder Dancy never spoke to better advantage. His speech was worthy of acceptance and is tribute to the grand old State of Ohio with sufficient light of forensic eloquence, and recalled in vivid fashion the noble army of abolitionists, from which stock Secretary Taft is descended. The theme, "Our Guest," gave Mr. Dancy a rare opportunity to talk about Ohio as the "Mother of Presidents," and a suspicion was around that the brilliant Zionite was around for a position to rehearse some of the good things he is fixing up for the "stump" later on in the campaign. Everybody was delighted to hear Gov. Pinchback, the last of "The Old Guard" of beloved memory, but a genius whose heart never grows sere and yellow. He was as hale and hearty as of yore, and Auditor Tyler and his associates joined in expressing their gratitude that he took the pains to come all the way from New Rochelle, New York, to do the occasion honor. It is whispered that a fat government appointment awaits the Governor's pleasure, and he may accept. It would be a fitting compliment to the gallant assistance to toome he gave in birth, and allow him to round out a career of rate usefulness in a work that would relound to the glory of the race. Andrew Carnegie's "double" was the idol of the hour and he was referred to in terms of sincerity affection by every speaker. "Caterer James W. Gray put up the best dinner that has been served at any recent banquet, and fairly outdid himself in the expert manner in which the courses were hand and he quality of the dishes. Gray was the right" as the diners ate the last morsel of the delicious viands he had prepared with such taste and painstaking care. Harry S. Cummings started the "rounsembles" opening the ball in a stirring speech on the Republican party that made the crowd want to go to Chicago and "whoop 'em up right away. Somebody good could help left off with the bernin 'My Married' who the Councilman Cummings arose to speak. Mr. Napier, looking as handsome as ever, and with the familiar mellifluency of diction, made a striking appeal for the educated young colored man-to chist his lot with the New South and grow up with the soil that needs the race's best talent to make it blossom as the rose. Mr. Napier is easily Tennessee's most successful leader, and will be heard from very effectively between now and June in determining the part the coldbreed people of his State will play at the Chicago Convention. President Rosewell and Secretary Taft received many demonstrations of approval when the bright side of their records was shown in the recital of the unpresidented official recognition that they had presented the "Wizard of Tuskegee" got an approving "hand" when his encouraging letter was read. No one enjoyed the fun more than did Architect Lankford. Elmer Hathaway was the poorest man in the crowd, and Wyatt Archer was the quietest. Robert A. Pelham would have responded to the toast "The President of the United States," in the place of Charlie Anderson, but the job was too big for even so brilliant and ready an orator to tackle offhand, so Pelham "niggled." R. W. THOMPSON. PHILADELPHIA AIDS HAMPTON Reilly and Waldo are not True. PHILADELPHIA, March 10,--Major Robert H. Morton, Commandant of the Hampton Normal and Agricultural School, delivered an interning address at Holy Trinity P. E. Church last week. He was followed by Dr. Frissell, representative white educator of the South. Both spoke also at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church. They were accompanied by the Hampton Quartet, which sang many plantation selections. The gentlemen were returning. South from the James fund meeting, which was held in New York, College of Hampton were taken up at both meetings. Pittsburgh, March 10...Hon. Christopher J. Perry, proprietor of The Philadelphia Tribune, and lately appointed Inspector of the Bureau of Highways, denies the allocation made by Paul Reilly and Fullerton L. Waldo, who charge him with pernicious activity at the polls during the recent city election, because his office is covered by the civil service. He is to the many defending himself by says: "I was warned when I went to vote that civil-service officers interested in Owen Wister's election were determined to chase all Republicans away from the polls if by any means they could scare them. When I went in to vote it was my intention to leave the polling place immediately, but upon reaching the front door and while desending the steps was needed by one Mr. Waldo, who was accused of illicitly a violation of the Shern law for me to be around the polls. Knowing that I had violated no law and determined not to be intimidated or overawed by his presence, I lingered around the polling place for some time engaged in conversation with him as to my activity as a city employee for 20 years. The real facts are that I have only been a city employee for three months. I, however, desire to state emphatically that the affidavit of Mr. Waldo is in error and that I have not actively participated in influencing voters, and I claim that in no particular at any time or at any place did I violate the provision of the Shern law."
