. BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH MARKS ITS 89TH YEAR Palm Garden to be the Scene of Monster Anniversary Celebration, April 16 Notable Rise and Progress of Bethel Church through Periods of Internal and External Troubles to its Present State of Peace and Prosperity under the Pastorate of that Distinguished Churchman, Dr. Reyerdy C. Ransom. Rich in history and splendid of tradition, while occupying a unique place in the annals of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, Bethel A. M. E. Church, now located in 25th street, between 7th and 8th avenues, will celebrate during the coming week the 80th anniversary of its organization. Those organized this religious body have all long since been gathered into membership in the church triumphant above, but their posterity have kept alive the fires upon the altars of African Methodism in this city, and Bethel is the airline to which today 2,800 members make the pilgrimage of their religious devotions. The history of the church is a long and interesting one, and although it has had its periods of internal and external troubles, yet its rise and progress has been mutable, and today under the pastorate of the distinguished pastor, scholar, clergist and churchman, the Rev. Dr. Reyerdy C. Ransom, is enjoying a period of peace and prosperity which portends grand results for the future. Church Founded In 1819. Since 1819, when Richard Allen, the great apostle of African Methodism, designated William Landis, of the Philadelphia Conference, to plant the seed of African Methodism in this city, and the latter established Bethel Church out of a small band of Negro religionists domiciled here, the story of Bethel Church organization is a most interesting one and worthy of being told in connection with the coming anniversary celebration which is to be held on April 15 at Palm Garden, in 58th street, between Lexington and Third avenues. In recording the history of organization of the churches and the external difficulties should of right be told, but in this article such things shall not be dealt with, but the good things that Bethel and her people have done are to be told of as memorials of them. The present congregation sprang from a membership of 20, who established themselves as a religious body in 1819, and in 1820 consecrated themselves to Christian work as Bethel African M. E. Church in a small room on Mott street, where to-day the beaten China worries his idol in the durning season. Bethel Church. The Rev. Henry Hardin was the first pastor of Bethel Church, and for seven years the people worshiped in Mott street, and thereafter the congregation had no continuing until 1855, when a regular place for meeting was secured in Second street, between B. and C avenues, when another body of zero religious instituting the church, E. Bethel, was organized anterior to Bethel, was merged into the Bethel Church, with the result that for many years peace and prosperity attended the church. This condition of affairs existed until 1851, when under the leadership of the then pastor, Rev. Leonard Tillman, dissension arose, many of the members asked for and were granted letters of withdrawal by the then pastor, Rev. Jabez P. Campbell. Then followed dark days for Bethel. The trend of the city's population then as now was migration northward. Growth of the Church. Most of the members of Bethel Church were domestics in the families that were moving from within the vicinity of Bethel, and they went with their employers, with the help of the well-retired. The trustees of the church therefore sold their meeting place in Second street for $8,000 and with $4,000 left after paying off their indebtedness purchased for $25,000 the Sullivan street property. Here new Life was taken on, old members returned to the fold, there were new recruits to the religious army, much spiritual enthusiasm was not appreciated to accommodate the people, with the result that improvements were necessary. This was in 1873. The Rev. James Morris Williams, the then pastor of the church, urged the congregation as to the importance of moving still further northward, but his adyce did not prevail, but the church was enlarged to meet its increasing demands at a cost of $25,000. Soon after the improvement had been made upon the church property, there was a great exodus of the Negro population from the town street and the immediate neighborhood where the Negroes were thickly settled, with the result that as in Second street the church was not in the midst of its membership and the spiritual and financial condition of the church was stagnant. Removal of Church. With the hope of reviving the work, the Rev. William B. Derrick, now bishop, was assigned to the pastorate, but his aggressiveness and pulpit oratory did not succeed in attracting to Sullivan streets the worshippers from the hand-scarched churches in the town. That had been secured by other denominations in the then upper section of the city. The trustees and members of the Sullivan street church, as they had in the case of the Rev. James Morris Williams, refused Dr. Derrick's advice to sell. In order to bring back the members to the church, Dr. Morris was now of the New Jersey Conference; Dr. Theodore Gould and Dr. J. B. Stanbury, both now of the Philadelphia-Conference, were assigned to the pastorates, but the members did not return. Bowing to the inevitable, the officers and members of the church, with Dr. John M. Henderson, now of Eric, Pa., in 1895, sold the old property and purchased its present property in West 200th street. The cut of the church accompanying tells its own story of the architecture of the church, which has an seating capacity of 1,500 and a property valuation of $150,000. From time to time there have been made interior improvements and decorations, the superstructure a fit couple indeed, or the indwelling of the presence of God. Pastor Reverdy C. Rannem. The present pastor of the church is the Rev. Roverdy C. Ramson, D. D., who was transferred from the Charles Street Church, of Boston, Mass., to the pastorate of Boston by the Right Rev. Henry Malone Turner, D. D. D. C. L. Bishop REV. REVERDY C. RANSOM PASTOR BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH of the New York Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Dr. Ransom is a native son of Ohio. He studied at Oberlin College, but was graduated from Willberforce University in 1866. He held the following charges: Slavery, O, one year; Alteum, Pa., two years; Allegheny, Pa., two years; Springfield, O.; three years; Cleveland, O.; three years; Chicago, Ill., eight years; New Bedford, Mass., 10 months; Boston, Mass., two years; came to New York July, 1907. Dr. Ransom is well known as a lecturer, writer and public speaker. At present he is classed among the extreme radicals because of his unproven position in regard to the Negro's constitutional rights. He went into New York has brought great throngs to Bebel Church. The Success of Dr. Rannom. The success that is now attaining Bethel Church is due to the test that Dr. Ransom in his ministerial labors has the most beauty and united cooperation of his official board. The man and women who have been designated by the pastor to aid in the administration of the spiritual and financial affairs of his church are most conscientious in the discharge of the duties imposed upon them and are at all times interested in the promotion of the work of their beloved "Zion". Some of them have given many years of labor of love in the work of propagating the church, while in the official mission of the church are to be found woman and women who are active in their soul for the cause of Christianity, and in the conservation of the best interest of their church.

PRESIDING BISHOP H. M. TURNER THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF CHRISTIANITY M. J. M. C. BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH This development in the local Taft campaign was made public to-day by the Chicago Taft Club, with the consent and by the request of the Baptist Colored Ministers' Alliance of Chicago and Vicinity. The resolution was submitted to the Alliance by Rev. William Gray, superintendent of the Battle Mission Kindergarten, Hortonville School. It rested the pet of the resolution adopted in Washington by the ellegence of the A. M. E. the A. M. E. Zion and the C. M. E. churches, warning the Republican party against nominating either President Roosevelt of Secretary Taft "on pain of having arrayed against either of those gentlemen the almost solid colored vote of the North." The resolution then reads as follows: Whereas, The above resolution, passed by the different Methodist conferences --- ters in Washington, D.C. does not meet with the approval of the Baptist Alliance of Chicago and vicinity, the resolutions are of a dictatorial character and untimely, and we, as Baptists, have not intruded our political rights to any set of men or religious bodies to voice our sentiments upon such grave matters as contained in the above resolution: therefore, be it. Resolved, that we regret that such a body composed of men of religious experience did not display more wisdom than to interrogate to themselves the right to vote in the country what we Baptists of Chicago will do in November, 1908. Resolved, further, Thia we, the Baptist ministers of the city of Chicago and vicinity, desire to place ourselves on record as not being in sympathy with any such sentiments as expressed in the above resolution passed by bishops of the different conferences herein mentioned. And we further request that the different newspapers of this city and countryside these resolutions a wide circulation through the states. The resolutions are signed by Rev. John P. Thomas, president of the Alliance and pastor of the Elenzoer M. E. Zion Church, and by P. A. Jones, secretary of the Alliance. 1 M. J. M. C. St. Phillip Church Notes.

TAFT AND REPUBLICANISM UPHELD IN BOSTON Prince Hall Centennial Celebration Will be a Great Fraternal Conclave — Annual Fair, at Calvary Church — Pretty Home Wedding at Cambridge—New President of the Taft Club—Social Notes. Boston, April 6.—The local political atmosphere for the past month, surcharged with the excitement and the loud, far-fetched appeals to the prejudice of the Afro-Americans, is beginning to clear. The hysteria of the busy ones during the month's harangue preceding last Tuesday's caucus, was on that day developed to be confined to the principally themselves. The manure of the latter attending to share in the tempest of their exhortation, calm and unescited went about their duty in a manner as admirable, as it was irritating. 11, 12 and 13, this year, just announced, indicates what will be perhaps the greatest fraternal Negro conclave ever held. Message from every State in the Union have been received assuring the committee of representatives and in the States where there are grand lodges of delegations. State assurances as the latter have been received include Finsley, G. M. of California; C. A. Q. Breman, P. G. M. of Connecticut; P.

While speaking generally they must be credited with remembering their friend. Senator Crane, in his fight for unpledged delegations, yet it is true that in wards 10 and 18 where the masses of the voters are Negroes, tickets voted were only nominally unpledged. Kenneth K. Kearney, in his ward, where every effort to corral the colored vote was made and where there were distinct State and district delegations, headed by Mussie, Joshua Crawford and Chase. Sales respectively. In this ward the Negro registered vote is said to obstruct the white two to one and here especially the faded and far cry and defeat Taft because of Brownlow's heralded from church steeple, hope-town and street corner, yet the colored gentlemen after this kind were turned down and delegates avowed Taft were elected. REV. JOSEPH G. STILES PRES. ELDER, ALBANY DIST. N. Y. CONFERENCE Another Negro stronghold ward, 11th, went pliedged overwhelmingly for Taft. Many of these hot-headed, ambitious speakers were exported to Haverhill with its considerably colored element, but every ward in that city went, for Taft. These results have given the soaring and stamped leaders, together with the hungry pole, a sharp turn, and all of the former are wisely coming around to a practical and far-sighted political campaign. If these results indicate any conclusions they are these: The Negro has in this section at least not lost his head, and he is not going to kick over the truss, not at this election. But it must be said in justice to his sentiment that further evidence is to what the Republican party is going to do for american citizen, but as an american citizen the Negro still wants and must have. Local Delegates. The delegates to the State and district conventions elected from among the educated candidates are: Messrs. J. Henry REVERDY C. RANSOM, JR.

RESIGNATION ACCEPTED Injunction Restraining Dr. Gilbert to Be Fought Out in Court—Members Expanded from Church in Violation of All Rules. To the Editor of The New York Age: The members of the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church who are opposed to Rev. Dr. M. W. Gilbert, pastor, have hitherto retained from giving their side of the case to the public, but the time has come, since Rev. Gilbert has continually kept the matter public, and the public statement of the origin of the trouble from its incipiency, up to the present time. The Rev. Gilbert and those associated with him have placed those in opposition to him in the light of a disgruntled element, who were opposed to his an pastor, because of the high price he paid in the fight against certain offenses, as he chooses to call them. The real trouble dates back to April 24, 1807, when this good man thought $165 per month salary was too small, and asked the Deacon Board to recommend to the church an increase in salary. At this time the church was much in debt when he was appointed to the Deacon Board, which consists of eleven members all objected with the exception of three members. The pastor stated that he would take the matter, to the church over their protest and opposition, but said he would suggest that the Deacon Board recommend the proposition to the church and get the glory of it. He further stated that he should not have on the board. The deacons thereupon decided to recommend the salary raising at the regular church meeting, held on June 3, 1807. Deacon John L. Waters was one of the members who opposed the salary raising, hence the trouble arose between pastor Deacon John L. Waters and pastor Deacon John L. Waters, who had been said as to Deacon Waters' character. At this June meeting the members voted to increase the pastor's salary by paying his house rent, $65 per month, making an aggregate total of salary $230 per month. Deacon John was much opposed in this meeting against the salary raising, but nevertheless it was raised. Notwithstanding the question of salary raising was settled practically on July 1, 1907, a recommendation was submitted to the church by Deacon Jackson which he recommended the retirement of Deacon Waters from the Deacon Board; the recommendation reads as follows: "We recommend further the retirement of Deacon John L. Waters from the Board of Deacons, on the ground that his influence does not conduce to the good discipline of the Mount Olivet Baptist Church." When this recommendation was presented to the church in its regular session, the pastor being present, he saw at once that the church was opposed to it three to one, and he thereupon declared this recommendation out of order, and made a substitute, and also made a statement exonerating the said Deacon Waters from the foregoing recommendation. On the 19th Wk. Reverend Attendee the National Convention at Washington, and while at that convention he wrote a letter to the president of the Trustee Board, James E. Taylor, which reads as follows: "I write simply to say to you that my mind is made up to wage war with John L. Waters. He must be or I will have to do so. so therefore please begin to read the book that I have for the fray. You are at liberty to say to the sisters and brothers that the time is come for them to choose between Waters and I. I shall inform the sisters and brothers Sunday after next. At all hazards I shall be back Monday afternoon and on the evening after that day. Please confer at once with Brothers Wood and whomsoever else you can afford to take into your counsel. I have prayed much over the matter, and my course is just that. M. W. Gritamit. The was the beginning and cause of the real war in Mount Olive: Baptist Church. On November 1, 1907, after a stormy scene on the withdrawal of this brother from the Denaan Board, the second pastor arose in the church, after hearing a message that this brother be continued on the Denaan Board, and the overwhelming sentiment of the people was with him for the retention, and stated that the time had come since the issue in the church had turned down to two men that one or the other would be the pastor, and therefore he tendered his resignation to the church to take effect on February 1, 1908. Morris Brown College, Atlanta, Ga. This was joyful news to the vast majority of the members present, consisting of at least 400, and ensured an outburst of applause and a general rejoicing, so much that one of the officers of the Rev. Gilbert seemed obligated to the Rev. Gilbert to present them for giving such a public demonstration of their satisfaction over the pastor's resignation. Rev. Gilbert then made a statement that never in all of his Christian experience had seen a people rejoicing over the resignation of his pastor, and publicly criticized them for inability to accept a resignation, and the showing of such discourtesy to its pastor as was manifested out that moment. The member making the motion, out of respect for Rev. Gilbert, then stated that he would not press the motion, and let it go over with the pastor, and this was done out of pure deference for the man's feelings. At the next regular church meeting on December 2, this same brother renewed this same motion. However, between the meeting of November 4 and December 4 all the chicanery of a political ward meeting was used to intercept and prevent the acceptance of Rev. Gilbert's resignation. At this second meeting N. W. Jackson moved the acceptance of the chicanery of the Trustee Board, offered a substitute that his resignation be not accepted. At this juncture the church went into the wildest excitement and confusion, and members who were supporting him went into fictional combats with those who were against him. While this excitement was at its height women and men were on the seats to get out of the way of the blows; it was during this period that Rev. Gilbert (who was acting as moderator on a matter of vital importance to himself ordered the church to send a third and fifth members yelling that they were opposed to him, they were counted as not accepting his resignation, and he standing in his pulpit ordered all standing to be counted. The opposition asked the result of the vote, which was refused, and it was not given until published in the daily papers next morning. Rev. Gilbert gave the vote to the Permanent Council as 152 to 98. The constitution of the church specializes in the pastor must have three-fourths of the votes present; that being the fact he met with an overwhelming defeat and his resignation was accepted by the congregation. At each subsequent meeting held since December 2, with this man presiding and acting as judge in his own case, union every motion made against him was broken up in confusion and allowed no business to be transacted. Seeing that all further attempts at election in the church by the majority rule was impossible by this one man power, and that if we were to have our rights respected and maintained we would have to seek it through other channels, we entered suit for a temporary injunction, asking the courts to restrain this man from further tyranny over a people who had accepted his resignation. We sent him a notice that his further continuance in the pulpit of Mount Over Baptist Church after February 1, 1887, was not approved, and the members, who had voted him out at the December meeting, would be considered as an usurpation of power over their protest and opposition to him, and it would be resisted by all lawful and fair means. On the first Sunday in February our people assembled in the church believing and feeling that they had no pastor, but had a lawful right to assemble in their own church to which they had been members, some guilty, some not, some guilty, some not, and the pastor in deference of his Bible, his church discipline and laws, caused the arrest of fourteen people on a Sabbath day, without cause and without a warrant, and paraded them through streets in a patrol wagon, and had them locked up in the 47th street police station until bail out that afternoon. He was not satisfied with his, he followed them, and the men he followed and the prosecution before the magistrate. The case was dismissed for lack of evidence. Then we went into the courts to enjoin this man from further interference with the rights and privileges of the membership of the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, which case is now before the courts for their decision. At the persuasion of Dr. R. S. MacArthur and others associated with him, the first prisoner was withdrawn, with the promise from these gentlemen that they would go into the whole matter and render a decision prior to finding them were partial that we could not accept them here we now moved in prison and purpose to fight it out on these lines from the pulpit by Dr. Gilbert that we precluded ourselves to glide by the decision of the Council, which we emphatically deny. Our letter to Dr. MacArthur not contain any such statement. No business meetings were held in the church from February 8, 1905, until on Monday evening, March 12, 1905, a call meeting by the pastor which only his supporters knew about, with the herewriting on this proposed Monday night meeting. There had been circulars printed and mailed to all members of the prison who were favorable to Dr. Gil port, before it was authorized by the Board, or even presented, and marked on Thursday prior to this meeting. At this meeting on the 23d, which was illegal, after hearing the Council's report they entered into and conducted a real Bowery meeting in the wholesale recommendations presented, recommended and passed for the exclusion of members of the church who had been in apposition to the law and regulations, laws and customs of the Baptist Church, and areas the Scriptures itself, and followed it up on Monday night, the fifth last, with further wholesale exclusion, without a chance to be heard before the Board of Disciples, or to meet, our persons face to face, with facts of the charges presented against us for exclusion, which must be done in all cases where members come under the discipline of the church. But they have violated every custom, passage and law of the Baptist Church. We decided to contact every inch of ground in the course that they have surveyed and gone over in this illegal proceeding. There was allowed in that church voting on the vital issues, persons who are not members of the church at all; members of Zion Church, Baptist Temple and Union Baptist Church; voting to deprive the bona fide members of the church of their rights and privileges.

A Foraker Bureau, N14 Randolph Oliver, or Oliver Randolph, we know not which is correct, for he is an unknown quantity (but what's in a name?), has engaged a room at 600 F street, in Washington, in the name of the National Foraker League, and has rented a typewriter, and is now industriously sending out political dope that bears all the carmarks of "gotten up for a purpose." It is just such as this that it is detracting from Senator Foraker, rather than adding to him. Every one knows that Mr. Oliver, or Mr. Randolph—his name has appeared both ways—is under pay at so much per week. Every one knows that his interest and loyalty to Senator Foraker is measured by the amount of remuneration he receives. In his political dope he charges the Tait people with spending lots of money to capture the Southern vote. The contrary is true, for had the Tait managers listened to and obeyed the plaintings of certain Negroes who are now in the employ of the reactionaries there would have been no grounds for denying the charge. Senator Foraker is not now, and has not been a serious presidential candidate, and no one knows that better than the Senator himself. THE Age doubts the loyalty of men to his cause who must be paid so much per week in the coin of the realm, and the Senator too is getting awfully sick of certain political leeching fakers. They may call this a Foraker bureau, but it is a bureau sailing under false colors. Worst Enemies of the Negro Race The pretended friends of the Negro race are just now hurting our people in the Southern States, in a way that will take years for them to recover from. The individuals and organizations, like the Constitutional League of this city, who are spending money encouraging the Negro race to bolt the regular political organizations and send contesting delegates to Chicago, are doing their best to hurt the race. It requires no unusual wisdom for one to foresee that the country will soon get tired of contesting delegations in National Conventions. The result will be that the representation in the National Convention from the South will be reduced, that the Negro will have no more part in National Conventions than he now has in Congress. This will be the result unless the policy of sending money into the South to corrupt and demoralize the Negro is stopped. When the Negro would be representatives are thrown out of National Conventions, in the same way that they have been thrown out of Congress, such organizations as the Constitutional League will turn their backs upon the race because of the fact that they are not in a position to be of service to them any longer. Our race is being injured to an alarming extent by the corrupt use of money in the South. During the present political campaign we urge our leaders to cry out against this outrageous practice. Roosevelt's Policy of Merit and Fittness While some are advising the Negro voters to holt the Republican party and support a Democrat at the coming Presidential election, President Roosevelt is recognizing the Negro in a way that, no other President of the United States has ever done. His recent recognition of merit and fitness was the appointment of Mr. S. Laiing Williams, of Chicago, as United States Attorney to take charge of the Bureau of Emigration for that section of the country. No President has ever appointed so many elected men to prominent federal positions in the Northern States. No other President has had the courage to appoint Negroes to federal positions in such cities as New York, Chicago and Boston. Attention should be called to the class of men President Roosevelt has appointed to office. Without exception they have been clean and intelligent men. Among those who have received recognition as representative citizens are Mr. William H. Lewis, assistant district attorney of Boston, graduate of Amherst and Harvard; Mr. Charles W. Anderson, Colonel of Internal Revenue of New York City a college graduate and a man of high standing; Mr. J. A. Cobb, Assistant United States District Attorney for the District of Columbia, a graduate of Fisk University; Judge R. H. Terrell, Magistrate for the District of Columbia, a graduate of Harvard; Mr. R. W. Tyrler, Andor of the Navy. experience and a highly cultured and representative citizen of Columbus, O.; Dr. W. T. Vernon, Registrar of the Treasury, an educator and creator of married ability. In commenting, the list might be extended showing how the President has continually sought to reward the best id the race. In the South he has appointed the same type of men as he has in the Northern and Western States. It may not be generally known to the public, but in spite of warnings and protests on the part of friends and advisers against appointing Negroes to important positions. Many of the federal appointments have been made by President Roosevelt, who has always contended that he would not keep any man out of office because of color. Strange to relate, after the appointments have been made there has not been a single case where friction has manifested itself to amount to anything. In appointing Mr. S. Laing Williams to take charge of the Bureau of Emigration the President is pursuing the policy mapped out by him at the beginning of his presidential career. We dare say that before he leaves office more Negroes will receive recognition. It is true that other Presidents have appointed numbers of Negroes to office, but almost without exception these places have been in the Southern States, where the Negro exercises little power so far as the counting of votes is concerned. President Roosevelt believes that in the Northern States where the Negro not only votes, but also has his vote counted, some attention should be paid to putting Negro men in office. No other President, for some unknown reason, ever thought of gathering to such a policy. This does not mean that he has ceased appointing Negro men to federal positions in the South, but it does mean that he is giving the race recognition throughout the entire country, and that his federal appointments are not confined to one section of the United States, as has been the case in the past. Secretary Taft and the Southern Constitution For a quarter of a century the Southern Negro's hopes have been fed upon radical and hysterical declarations relative to his political rights, and yet the South has gone along in its own way and adopted State constitution after State constitution which took away the black man's right to vote. A great statesman like Secretary Taft knows that this condition can find no remedy in mere speeches. He is too well acquainted with the character and the prejudices of Southern men to be led astray by any such suggestion. No man sees the injustice of the present system of suffrage in the Southern States better than Judge Taft and no man will bring more influence to hear to correct it than he will if he is elected President of the United States. We do not doubt but that a man of his splendid powers of statesmanship will be able to do a great deal toward bringing to a much desired consummation the thing that colored men wish with regard to these hateful constitutions. This will not be accomplished by radical or abusive speeches either in the North or in the South. Mr. Taft knows this and sensible colored men know it. too. And when he is elected President we are willing to leave the method of the solution of this problem to his sound and rational judgment, for we believe that he will at least try to do as much for the American Negro as he has done for the Filipino and the Cuban. As we have suggested he will have no power to invade the States and say what shall and what shall not be in their constitutions, yet we believe that he will o. approach the subject of the disarm- chishment of the Negro that he will be able to do a great deal toward making political conditions of the Negro living below Mason and Dixon's line a great deal better than they are to-day. We have the deepest faith in William K. Taft. Dr. Alderman Agle In our last week's issue we referred briefly to Dr. Alderman's recent speech in Carnegie Hall. Since that time we have read it more carefully. Dr. Alderman evidently was trying to ride two horses and in doing so was placed in an awkward position. He was trying to please the Southern white people, by whose grace he is kept in his present position as president of the University of Virginia; at the same time he was trying to please the liberal element of Northern white people through whom he gets entre to social affairs in the North and at the same time from whom he gets liberal contributions. In trying to ride these two horses, Dr. Alderman made a tremendous failure. It would have been better if he had refrained from discussing the Negro at all and discussed some subject which he could have discussed from the shoulder as a brave, educated man. Such a friend as Dr. Alderman represents himself as being in his Carnegie Hall address is dangerous rather than beneficial and helpful. We are sorry that Dr. Alderman made this speech. May we hope that when he speaks again he will take a different subject or a broader and braver ground on the Negro question. Knockers There are some people who never have a good word to say for anybody except themselves. Their whole desire when one meets them is to tell of the defects in one's character. They never find a good thing to praise in the virtues of anyone, no matter how unselfish those virtues may be. One soon tires of coming into contact with such individuals. How much better it would be, instead of seeking to find fault, one would find the virtues and call attention to them rather than to be continually calling attention to the vices of those with whom they are thrown in contact. It Is True THE NEW YORK AN. charges Gov. Hughes of New York State with a failure to give a single appointment to an Afro-American. Can this be true? He seems to be all right otherwise, and we had hoped to see him the Republican candidate for vice-president on the ticket with Senator Foraker—Cleveland Gazette. It is not only true, but sadly true. We publish below the list of speakers that were advertised to speak at a recent political meeting held in this city. We guarantee to say that this is the most interesting galaxy of speakers ever asked to speak upon an American platform. The person who assumed the task of getting together such an aggregation deserves a first-class premium. Read the list below: Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the National Afro-American Council; Bishop Turner, of Georgia; H. C. Smith, of Ohio; J. Douglas Wetmore, Professor Kelly Miller, Max Barbour, Archibald Grimke, the Rev. S. L. Carrothers, Clayton Powell, former minister to Hayt; A. B. Cosey, of New Jersey; George Crawford, of Connecticut; W. M. Trotter, of Massachusetts; Amory Phillips, of Missouri; James H. Hayes, of Virginia; J. R. Clifford, of West Virginia; Oscar de Priest, of Illinois; the Rev. A. J. Cary, of Chicago; Professor W. E. B. Du Bois, of Atlanta, Ga., and Gilchrist Stewart and the Rev. Reverdy C. Ranson of New York. In the death of Samuel W. Starke, publisher of the Charleston, W. Va., Advocate, the Negro Fourth Estate loses a five representative, and the race loses a splendid business man, who has "done things" for his race. We convey to his widow and to The Advocate our sincerest sympathy. Hon. W. T. Vernon delivered the principal address to the graduates of the Meharry Medical College last week at Nashville, Term. The U. S. Register was given a most cordial welcome and his address was eloquent and impressive. Any attempt on the part of the white South to confine the Negro's education to industrial education will result in failure. Nothing will make the Negro go to the other extreme. We advise the white South to consult the Negro as to his wishes in the matter of education rather than attempt to try to drive him INTELLIGENCE STANDS OUT. Results of Massachusetts Currents Show Veterans' Heads Are Not Turned. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE: The result of the recent recounts: held in Boston and State, especially in the centers of the colored population, has shown the position of the colored voter of intelligence and thoughtfulness better than anything else at this time. A conside of vilification on the part of the colored voter of using anti-Taft and anti-Rosseveld and of using everything was carried to the extreme limit. At their meetings and in their organ not a loan who shred to assert the right to think for himself was safe from view and toleration of the colored citizen and toleration of the colored citizen of Massachusetts interested in the candidacy of Secretary Taft for the Presidency have been justified in the light of events, and the encouraging reports from all sections of the population have the attitude of the colored Taft now everywhere. Most understandings have been the position which a large number of our members have in the church have passed themselves. They have been baptized into the gospel after the manner of all the members and Tabernacle, and to the harp of all the members. The colored Republicans have shown themselves unwilling to be led, colored out by the discredited editor of a colored bureau, and to be hindered by a hysterical follower who sees upon every current expert composing the Negro in this country to exploit themselves to the advantage of their American citizen for the benefit of all, knowing that the best interests of the race are inseparably interwoven with the best interests of the country. The Republican party has insisted that the sensible colored people do not believe that the official acts of President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft were aimed at the colored people and insisted that they are going to act in this campaign as other citizens, voting for the best man and best principles of governmental administration as they are them. W. W. WANT. Secretary Colored Taft League. Boston April 4. TAFT AND SOLDIERS His Favorable Attitude to Negroes Before Beginning Secondary of Wise HIS Permanent Attitude to Negroes Before Becoming Secretary of War. Since the promulgation of the President's now famous order dismissing three companies of the 25th United States Infantry, for allowed lawlessness in housing up to 100 brownwells, Texas, School Tafh has been severely criticized by a large number of the colored citizens of the United States. They claim also that he showed injustice to the discharged soldiers in carrying out the provisions of the President's orders, a duty which devolved upon him as Secretary of War. Before going into the treatment of the colored soldier by Secretary Taft, let us look into his past attitude towards the darker races, previous to his becoming Secretary of War. In the first place he comes of a family of justice and liberty; he was a trained soldier, trained a training which made him far above the practice of race prejudice, and which fitted him for the place he has so far been in, as he has shown in his handling the man of the British印ces, and the Colonies, that he has not even a time of race prejudice in his makeup, and has given the black man a "dear deal" in his struggle for existence. I had an opportunity to notice his great work in the Philippines, having served there in the army while he was Governor-General of the Islands. No person, except those who actually saw the war, could realize what a very great task he had to undertake when he arrived at Manila in June, 1800. The country was in the throes of an insurrection. Brother was arrayed against brother, and faction was arrayed against faction in insurrection. American race prejudices had been introduced into the ishikas, and the American army of occupation contributed rather than diminished the spirit of revolt. Race prejudices had even become so strong that no soldier should be shoved in a native barrier shop. Had Mr. Taft taken the view, which a great majority American men before him and since took, of those people on account of their great importance, not now be enjoying the peace and prosperity which they so much needed. Secretary Taft mined among these poor, inaccurate people, and none were so fortunate as he was. Goedner's ear, and when they arrived in his presence they were sure to be welcomed, and wont away satisfied that they had met a friend, was the manners and demeanor of the priests in Taft. Taft and his kindness to the natives which won their admiration and great respect. He has been said that the original Filipino was of Negro origin. If this be true, and had Secretary Taft the least time of race prejudice in his makeup, he failed entirely to show it in his speech. He was treated these people differently, there might have been some room for the criticisms which are now being hurled at him, without reason, by some of the colored I am not attempting to defend the President of the United States in his action in regard to the Brownsville miltier for his course, with his request to our governor, with his request to our needs no defense; and I fail to see where the Secretary should be consulted by the colored people of the country because of that order. And Mr. Taft been an army officer, and he was an officer and had held up his superior officer's orders, as he did this one, the Brownsville officer; he would have been liable to court-martial and possibly a dismissal. And he showed his makeup, showed his kindly feeling for the race, and in itself should be sufficient to endear him to the colored citizens of this country who are so unattracted to suspect that color actuated that order. I believe and know that Secretary Taft has been one of the best friends the colored soldier has had, and should he be more and no less than they deserve. While stationed at San Fernando de la Union, P. L. I, I had the good fortune several occasions while he was en route to the summer capital at Bagnolo. He was always glad to greet the colored officer and always had a good word of cheer for them. We were always more than glad to know that Secretary Taft, then Governor John A. McCormick two with us, and the men and officers of the colored regiment would have gladiated down their lives for him had the union arisen, so much did they love him. Yes, times change wonderfully. . . Just think of a Republican gathering working the exclosure of a hotel partner, plinking the camera, and then meeting the meeting—Hispanic, Alta. WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY Secretary Taft is developing great strength as a Presidential possibility. If things continue to move Taftward he is sure to be the next standard bearer of the Democratic party. If Mr. Taft becomes the party secretary when we know will have to eat a plenty of crow-*New Orleans Colored American Appeal* I can't at about time for the correspondent to give us a rant who has a wild story to relate about a secret plot to kill the king and give the nomination to some one else. It cannot be done. Mr. Tait is as good as nominated now, and there will be no dark house in this race. Mr. Tait is the king of the hearts of the people as for American rulers have been. The people want him, and they are going to have him. He is the nation's man; and the people deceive him. He will be put at the head of the nation for the next four years. And this is but right. In the saddle for four years, he will give us an administration not to kill the king. He will smile upon the land, and receive its just reward; combinations keep within the proper bounds and prosperity dwell among all men. Talk of nomination will come. Mr. Tait the pilgrimate of the Spaniards in quest of the fountain of eternal youth—Lexington, Ky., Standard. Since Secretary Taft is now so prominently before the country as a presidential candidate, we feel called upon to be a voice for the people upon the Negroes of the country in politics. Whatever the effect of this utterance may be, certain it is that the time when the Negroes of the country enjoy all that is pledged in the law and promised by true lovers of liberty. We take it that Secretary Taft means that the Seger, as a matter of right, is responsible for the Constitution of the United States. Hence, if he is made the choice of the Republicans of the country for the presidency, he will, not only carry out the splendid work of the Constitution, but will begin respecting the corporations, but will show his sincerity as a true reformer and right the wrongs which are now pressing so hard in the United States. That is to say, he will exercise the powers of his great office for complete reform. Any other course would inconsistently and inimplicitly believe that Secretary Taft would make the very great mistake of being either of these. What he will do in this behalf, provided the position of the committee is not changed, would do to with the future if our race and the future of the nation — Omaha Enterprise. It seems from the best intelligence to be cleared that the opinion at Washington, and especially among Senators and Representatives, whatever may be their personal inclinations, is that the country is for Taft, and that he will be From a table, representing the views of the ablest political forester in Washington, printed in the New York Tribune, we take the following resume: total necessary to choice: 401 Trust exclusive of the Southern States. 410 Hughes. 82 Knox. 74 Falkhanks. 90 Cannon. 59 Politics. 26 Southern States. 218 Doubtful. 86 According to this, half of the Southern and doubtful votes added to the Taft column will nominate him on the first ballot, with a large contigroup of space for his nomination. Taft will be nominated without a vote from the South. But the fact is he will doubtless get enough from the South to nominate him even if all the doubtful go to other candidates. Knox, Knog, Cannon and Hughes are given their own States and very little more. If all the other candidates would concentrate upon one of themselves and then get all of the doubtful and half of the South besides, Taft would even then nominate. This is the most intelligent estimates accessible indicate, almost to a certainty, it is claimed, the nomination of Secretary Taft on the first ballot. It is often asserted that if he is not nominated on the first ballot, he will be nominated. This is far easier from the proper conclusion, for it is quite certain should he not succeed on the first ballot he will on the second. All the probabilities run in that direction. This is not a handwagment exploitation. This is not a way to appear, and the Conservator will always give facts, regardless of candidates. —Chicago Conservator. Will the white people of this city and State ever get it into their beads that colored people are as much a part of the community as are any other race or class? Alaskan "black" who had nothing else to do has started to stir up strife by objecting to colored teachers. Attending the lectures provided by the public funds of the city will be public schools. No less a person than the brand new president of the school board testifies that at one of the lectures which he attended, the colored people were asked what he did he expect? Did he expect to see the colored ladies and gentlemen employed by the school board act in a manner to reflect upon the board, the students, the teachers, the surprised that colored men and women could be ladies and gentlemen? Perhaps he expected to find them sitting in groups, talking in loud and boisterous tones, clawing at the board. Perhaps he expected to find them doing a cakewalk for the civilization of their more favored sisters in white. If so he was sadly mistaken. If he was not mistaken, the school board will compare favorably with those of any other race or nationality. Why then this discrimination? Why this attack on the colored school teachings? Nothing the world said an unanswered question, yet perpetrated in unworthy words of a great city like Baltimore. The city council had little to do to even entertain such a motion, let alone passing it. And yet we would not be able to do so without a large number of later it is the work of very small people, pin-heads in fact. A great people would not stoop to so mean a thing. But come to think there are few great men, in this world.—Baltimore Afro American Lodge. Secretary Taft in an address in Brooklyn, N. Y., on the 6th ied, said, *In the future, I feel so光荣 and distinguished in the truth that was nothing more than a nightmare and a dream.* He commented at length upon the wonderful progress, intellectually and otherwise, made by the colored people of this country. He said that "the growth of intellect, learning and industry must continue." These utterances on the part of the Secretary upon the occasion referred to are, quite significant, owing to the fact that the people of this country highly engaged in this section of the country, in an attempt to mishap the credentials of the race under the false impression that the Secretary is an enemy race and would circumvent its That the able Secretary in broad-minded can be seen from his utterance discriminately made, and this attitude upon quantum involving discriminable irrespective of color or condition in plainness, much more pronounced and nothing given havewayed the balance too often in the past. Hence it is decidedly better to deal in possibilities, the realization of which is within reaching distance, than to more closely an unsuspecting people, by promising to report the course of a revolution. Even in politics facts must be recognized, and therefore, the advanced condition of to-day accumulates preparation to coincide with the advancement of governmental responsibility. Realizing this, the absurdity of running the revolution backward is apparent to the bushrief member whose designing of the machine is considered of the facts in the case. We claim, and believe, that Secretary Taft's domination and election to the presidency be a victory which our lineage forward and lineage reaches back among the best friends, the race has ever had; and unleash something intertwines to materially his opinion with regard to us his attitude. We presume, in appalling with the lineal record referred to. The people of the country will make the Secretary the next President of the nation, unless the unforeseen happens and when elected, our conduct now should be to our own claim for Republican success, in any light the will place us in an unavenable light and prove derogatory to the interest of the race in more ways than one. Hence we advise a careful recount of the benefits the race has received, and a thoughtful assessment of possible developments in the future.—New Orleans Southern Age. BISHOP DERRICK ON AFRICA Interesting: Parts Concerning the Country and People—Future of the Native Africans. When it was announced that Bishop W. B. Derrick would visit South Africa great expectations were around as to what would be his report not only concerning the prospects of the work undertaken by the African M. E. Church, but also as to the probable future of the native Africans. There is perhaps no man of the race who keeps more ahead with current events of world-wide range than does Bishop Derrick, and there is certainly no man of his church who could be trusted on such a journey to make his standpoint for actual observation cover a wider scope or take in more thoroughly the minor details. In the healthy portions of Africa the native population is not dense and it is likely that in the course of time it will be angel-mutinated. But all of Africa is under threat from the Zambezi will remain Negro or Nigroid even though here and there slightly tinctured with European blood. There is likely to be, in the course of time, a great inflow from India into the unseen river Zambezi, a Negro population now in Europe and Germany. The territories north of Zambezi will be governed largely in the interest of the abundant and powerful Negro population which before many years will be as civilised and as educated as are at least a few native population south of the Zambezi basin. The work of the A. M. E. Church at the present time is south of the Zambezi. Here the Negro and the colored man may be the only people who ultimately become an unmistakable part of the people if wisely guided in the present. The bishop expressed himself as most thorough in sympathy with the African people of South African provinces. The bishop believes that the European people will gradually take possession of all of the healthy country, in South Africa and will eventually be pushed back into the lowly coast regions of the southeast or into the rich but fewer-streaked countries in the Zambezi valley, which for centuries will be the Black Man's Reservation. The European nations which will dominate New Africa are likely to be the African people, but the languages, which will be spoken likely to be the English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Hausa and Swahili, but English is certain to become the dominant language, and Persian will disappear and the religion will be Christian and Mohammedan. There is absolutely, says the bishop, no danger of any future revolt upon the African Nero church, and the considerable extent. The Nero will be trained under so many diverse civilizations and will be taught to speak in so many different languages that in Africa the Nero church will each national development as the White Man has become in Europe. The ultimate field to be sought by the American Nero churches should be the Black and Reservation north of the Zambesi. JOHN M. HENDERSON, M. D. LITTLE BOCK, Arkansas, April 6. There are some things about the educational problems in Arkansas that make prove very interesting to the reader. THE AGE. In the first page, the problem is almost outliving itself in the academic limb and support of private and noninstitutional schools. This is done in addition to race loyalty to the public schools. So much is done in this respect that the other race conventions believe that school fame, paid by Negro students, go to the exclusive support of Negro girls' schools, and vice versa. This explains a hearing in our Legislature over two years and a strong bill is drawn in favor of such a bill has had to look defensible in the face and die. In many parts of Arkansas, particularly the larger towns and cities, the white man tolerates and supports "hispanic" students, and the black man tolerates our public high schools, taking the people through an advanced course of academic studies. But, strange to say, while there is no room in the regular University of Arkansas for Negroes, there is no university in Arkansas University for Negroes. There is not one in M. McCain's nothing but an ordinary normal school, which, however, is conducted in the best possible manner under the circumstances. Prof. Isaac Pinker, a graduate of Tulane University, prince of prince, the professional education of Negroes in Arkansas may get must come from other hands and other States. The treasury of Arkansas stands ready to foot the bills for turning out white hwaus, etc., but what the Arkansas Negroes in this way must "come from above." The reading world will be astonished to know that, while Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas, is an educational center, it is largely an Negro college, most of which are established by Negroes. There is not a white college in the city. Nothing to redeem the state of Arkansas, and nothing to military academy. Of course there are fine white schools in other parts of the State, besides the University of Arkansas, which has more than two hundred miles from the capital. The presidents of the three Negro colleges in Little Rock and North Little Rock, viz., President J. M. Cox, of Philadelphia, and President A. H. Hill of Shorter College held a meeting quite recently in which they practiced and organized their business and knew of "Council of College Presidents." They aim by that organization to maintain a uniform system of extreme discipline, whenever exerted, they regulate all forms of intercollegiate contests, so as not to allow such contests to injure intercollegiate fellowship; to keep before the business community the need to regulate the commercial factors in Little Rock, since these institutions through their students, and teachers circulate from thirty to forty business community. It is astonishing but true that these institutions do not receive in return altogether one thousand dollars from the business side of the city, and that the general support from the commercial interests of the Capital City of the Bear State. CALIFORNIA FREE LAND. Distribution of Government Land Offer Fine Opportunities in Far Wet. OCEAN PARK, CAL, April 4.—Thinking this would be of some service to someone I send you here information of opportunities awaiting someone in Southern California, such information I got from the Los Angeles Times, the largest daily west of the Rockies, concerning the free distribution of Government land in this extreme West. There is land galore that can be had for the asking, good land, too, that you can raise from a chicken to chicken, or a peanut to a 330-pound pumpkin. The only provision that the Government makes is that you occupy and work it six months out of the years for five years, so much time the land becomes yours forever. The Government is concerned. Just think a homestead so reasonable. An opportunity for our many and needy Southern New farmers, or those seeking a new field, when we oppugnities better elinicate conditions, facilities, no jim crowing, a place to recover one's health, and broader freedom. A haven to those who are prejudiced and weary of prescription, the Maker of the Medicine. Opportunities in the direction of produce cannot be equalled. There is a fortune for anyone in fruits and flowers. Orange groves and carnation fields are turned into yearly barrows and magnates of wealth beyond the pale of mediopacity. California extends a welcome to all. Impartiality and square-cheling to all. So much valuable land lies awaiting someone to come it, and extract from it immense wealth and many kindred blessings of life. WALTER J. GORDON. New Haven: Neteen The Church of God and Saints of Christ, who worship in the tabernacle at 15 Wobstor street, presided over by Peter William Blunt, will send a large delegation of the members to attend the passover to be held in Washington, D. C. on the 14th inst., for the concentration all the churches of this persuasion. All the churches of church will leave here Saturnia, where the priest will for Washington, where the prophet, William S. Crowdy, resides. Mrs. William Waller, of 154½ Dixwell avenue, attended the objections of Mrs. Sarah Robinson, her mother in law, at Boulder, where she and her son were rev. Mr. Jewett of Springfield, who services BIRMINGHAM, Ala., April 9th — A movement is in foot here in Birlingham for prison reform and for the establishment of the inquisitive fec system, which has brought about the imprisonment of so many of the poorer people of the Negro race, as well as of the white people of the South. The system especially oppressed, the operation of the system amounting in many instances to downright slavery. It has been based on pretty good authority that one of the most severely imprisoned liberated more than 500 Negroes brought before him by these cheaper concessions and law officers, who promote all kinds of criminal prosecution against them. There are 500 Negroes subject to imprisonment for minor offenses, such as using abusive language and petty charges of that kind. Two Negroes have been charged with crimes without fines of any character, the charges against them being so very fivolous. The other 250 were let off with small fines, which they were able to pay. Result of the liberation of these 250 cases, the judge's criminal docker was cleared. Some of the strongest white citizens of this community are members of the Episcopal Church. Negro education through that medium. A number of the members are now concerned to have the appraisal of £2,000 annually appraisal. No one has received £0,000. One of the general officers of the General Education Board recently visited Birmingham and was in conference with the cause mentioned in the interest of the cause mentioned. These things are most helpful indications of the growing interest on the part of the whites in their duty and responsibility in the service of the Negroes in the North. McNamgham is one of the richest districts in all the world, and, if we can solve the race problem here on lines of mutual interest and sympathy, we believe that a direction of influencing all of that element immediately responsive to the sentiment of the city itself. HARRY S. CUMMINGS DEFENDS EQUAL RIGHTS. School Board Lecturer Will Speak to White and Colored Teachers on Game Night. KALTMORE, April 5—Politics and the new question have been unwisely brought up as an animated theme for discussion in the First Branch City Council, and as usual, the Republicans have gone on record for equal rights and justice for "Jim Crowism" and humiliation at the last meeting of the First Branch City Council a resolution was offered by one of the Democratic members condemning the practice of the New Boer board in coercing minors for "Jim Crowism" in single lectures and calling for a special committee to investigate the subject. Thanks to the Republicans and the three-fourth rule in force, the resolution was killed, but only after an hour and a half of hoodliness in the office. Among those instrumental in the defeat of the resolution was Councilman Harry S. Cummings, the Negro member of the body. When he arose to speak he was recognized by the president of the all eyes were turned on him. He said: "I am very sorry this question has come up," he said slowly and almost indistinctly, "but I feel that it is my duty to make you more aware of the money we will do so briefly. The city of Baltimore spends thousands of dollars every year to educate the colored children, so as to make them better citizens. If they become so it is to the benefit of the children and the money. Many of those educated become teachers and attend-yes, it is by compulsion, as the resolution says—the lectures given by the school board. But there has never been any complaint against the teachers. Are the economists unimpressed? We have never heard so. But from the standpoint of strict economies, do you meant to say that, for the sake of negregating several colored teachers, you are going to put the black students on the stage and the economists of having the lecturer lecture to the whites on one light and the Negroes the next?" Mr. Sprosser (Republican) was the only one to rise for several moments. Counselman Cummings had made an imposition this dignified treatment of the situation. REY. AMIGER'S FAREWELL. SPRINGFIELD—Rev.

The old-time minstrel show, with minstrel men as the sole performers, was looked forward to, but there was an agreeable surprise in store. Instead of the usual galaxy of minstrel men, also in evidence were several pretty minstrel misses, who sang and danced in lively fashion and proved to the audience that the male members of the troupe were not the "whole show." Not so very long ago when one attended a professional minstrel show considerable surprise would have been shown had others than male performers appeared on the program; but as we are now in the age of wonders that time has past. While the end men of the minstrel troupe at Huber's did the principal comedy work as of old, the background of the semi-circle was composed mostly of minstrel misses, whose presence added much color to the scene. Of course the interlocutor was a man in the person of Joe Moore, who in talking to his end men caused one to often wonder if he was a black millionaire. For, when he told one of his funny men it was "half past ten o'clock," and when he later informed another, that his joke made him "laugh," he reminded me of the people you bear when the Waldoff attorney told you "shall the past," "laugh," and "either," were not pronounced as you can bear him when he is talking on Sixth Avenue. He was decided to open the door to the show, opened with the ministrel medley by the company which would not have taken first prize in a choral contest. Like many acts, not very much attention was given to the medley, it being intended to make good later on. The majority of successful performers here in "going big" have a claim to make a favorable impression at the beginning they do not have to work so hard later on. It was just the opposite with the minstrels, they opened very very tame, figuring on pleas. After several jokes about why does a chicken, the first musical number announced was a solo by Mamie Furber, assisted by the company, who sang "Just a Chicken." Miss Furber is a pretty little miss who has the making of a good performer. She is a much better dancer than she is a singer and should learn to be more impressive in telling the story of her song. Her voice is so powerful that she was compelled to respond to an encore. After another joke on the order of why is a chicken, Walter Robinson rendered a solo entitled "When the Sugar Corn is Waving." He is a tenor singer who knows how to play his voice and is a great performer. He appeared a number of times. Suffice to say he was enclosed. Joke No. 3 was then spring on the poor audience. Evidently the majority of those present had heard it before, for the theatre was as quiet as a school room, the principal walks in after it was heard. Then came Tillie Smith with the song "I Just Can't Keep My eyes Off of You." The writer is glad that he is guilty of not being able to stand stead of the music. Had Willie Vodery been present it is feared he would not have recognized his music, for between the piano player, who evidently does not know the melody, and the singer they performed, Thanks to Tillie Smith's personality and winning ways the number went very good, and her acting of the song was such that she found it necessary to reprise No. 4 of the best-wiskered type was the next order of the evening. The best comedian in the show, Sam Gaines by name, then came forward and sung "Ephrrhythm Johnson." He is a good singer, also a dancer of no little ability, and he is a man of many. He greatly pleased the audience. The number by Gaines closed the minstrel part and the olio was opened by Billy Brown. While his song "All Saints" was sung, the ancient Brown has a good voice and seemed to interest his audience. He also appeared in a monologue, which was a little too lengthy. Here is another performer who should draw a neat salary in Gaines and DeHeard next appeared in a sketch entitled "Rebearing for a Bandville Show," another number entirely too long, if the actions of the people should be taken into consideration. They have been called the "afterpiece" "Coonville Telephone Company," was probably new to many. This is a skit that is a great laugh producer when properly staged. Sam Gaines made them laugh as "Central," Hilly Sharapin as "Slick" and Charles Taylor as "Sharapin." So far as the New Orleans Minutieals are concerned they close the evening's performance in a general "rough house" and shoot acrobats, caused by the path of the minutieals be filled by promoters of the fake telephone company, Grain. In the company are Joe Moore, Walter Robina, Jimmie Worles, Sam Gaines, and Michael Furber, Mabel DeHeard, Ninja Bunie Furber, Mabel DeHeard, Mamie PHunt, Annie Smith, Ella Bryan, rille Smith and Bonnie Allen. Jimmy Worles and a number of others in the company did not come down to the footwear of the rope. They were permitted to do the being act and will show their ability minutieals meet the second week. Sax Oriens says, "remember that. He is in to gear up a white dust suit he should wear Tyler, advantage of the war." He is likely to be a Lieutenant. that the suit was really of spotless white when the troupe opened on Monday. Several others were not white but the suit was not white and had never been other than a dark cream color. Columbia Playhouse Named After Paul Lewispee Dunbar COLUMBUS, April 8.—In memory of the late Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the new theatre recently opened here has been named the Dunbar Theatre. This is the Bain Instance on record when a New Britain institution was named after a famous member of the race. Paul Lawrence Dunbar was a native of New York. He Smith thought that in naming the new playhouse the Dunbar Theatre it would be fitting to the memory of the departed Although the theatre was opened a few weeks ago by several local companies, the regular opening show is a musical comedy will hold the boards entitled the "Emperor of Dixie." The book, lyrics and music are by Sidney Perrin, who is also staging the show. The boards are secured to participate in the musical comedy, among them being Mme. Corrine Brown, Goldie Crobsy, Daisy Miller, Walter Crumley, Walter Crumley, E. L. "Slim" Henderson and William Bradley. Until Monday the new stock company released in Chicago, but left the Windsor Columbus, where they arrived Tuesday. Lincoln Park, Opened—Elysium Theatre Still Park NEW ORLEANS, April 8.—The Elysium Theatre is still dark and will not be opened until after Lent, when the management anticipates doing a "land-off business." Lincoln Park has opened for the summer and a large turnout greeted the Henderson and McNeil Comedy Company, who appeared with a company of clever singers and dancers, known as the only Negro aeronaut in the South, almost lost his life while making a balloon ascension at Lincoln Park on the opening day. While up in the clouds Bartlett cut the parachute too soon and the plane descended rapid and he fell to the ground with great force. He was taken to the hospital, where medical attention was immediately given and from late reports be is considered safe. Williams, Sliger and Williams, has been visiting his relatives and friends and was seen quite often with Lew Hall, who undertook the task of telling him about the new theatre building, which will be the finest amusement house owned by Negroes in the United States. The recent appearance of Mme. Hackley in a recital at the A. M. E. Church here was a notable event. The music lovers of the "Crescent City" turned out to hear the well-known singer, and she created a very favorable impression. Hottest Coon In Dixie Co. Doing Big Business. WILMINGTON, Del., April 8—The Hottest Coon in Dixie Company is doing a big business despite Lent, even surprising the management. The company is booked for Wilmington the half half. Coon plays Cinden, N. J., April 9, 10, and 11. The daily papers throughout New England have been complimentary in their review of the show. The following is from the Daily Bridgeport "The Hottest Coon in Dixie," which will be presented this evening by the "Countown 400," for the closing performance of their half week's engagement, is and an otio and is one of the most enjoyable "coon" shows which has been seen in a long time. It is filled with good musical numbers and the dancing numbers of the convention. Heed the ordered comedian, who heads the company, is not the only merry maker in the "bunch," by any means; he has a number of clever comparisons, all of which face all that is good in the production, and to make for it the success it richly deserves. It is really the price of admission alone to hear Miss Scott, the Brutee Tetrazinzi, for the first time, and to be a charming lady. She is one of the very few colored sopranos who are really worth hearing, for her rung is magnificent, and her upper notes are as sweet and clear as dance some, and the bunch of girls with the show give her good assistance. Rowland, the trump juggler, does a neat turn. Kraxton's Entertained at Cambridge. Boston, April 8.—Harry Krayton and wife, who were here at the Orpheum Theatre last week in their roo-pollering act, were entertained one evening at the Thomas Christie, of Cambridge, Among those present were; Mr. and Mrs. Peter P. Christians, Mr. and Mrs. T. V. Jones and Mrs. Hilda Burton. CINCINNATI, April 8.—The "Black Patii Petrohole" jumped from the School to Ohio and opened here at Henck's Theatre, where they will remain all week. Business is fair. STREUBENVILLE, O.—April 6.—The "Shoo-Fly Regiment" played a one-night stands through Ohio for the city's closing. The company closes the week at McKeosport, Pa., where it is booked for April 9, 10, and 11. The N. Y. Globe on W. and W. Anniversary. The following article was published in a recent issue of The New York Daily Globe, one of the most influential papers in New York city, in which it addressed to our readers and will add that the views of the writer show that he belongs to that class of white citizens who is unprejudged because of color and recognizes merit wherever it asserts itself. The article, "William and Walker celebrated the sixteenth anniversary, of their partnership on the stage. The entire hallcy and gallery were given over to colored people, and the spontaneous laughter which issued from the upper chamber of the theatre attested the sincerity of the fun. "Bandanna Land" is a colored show by colored people, and in its way is a unique performance. It is a theater and humor of their race so truthfully portrayed. In Louisville it is said the applause broke up the show. A white man can't perform. It is sadism he understands him. At the Majestic one can see the colored man played as he should be played, and with an that makes the problem than he seems. Williams and Walker are doing a splendid thing for the Norveg. They are opening a fire set and naturally demonstrate they will, before have had no space of aggression. Their career is still in its babyhood. Their influence has already been felt throughout the United States and in England, and in another ten years we may look them for considerable help in the contest against the contender in the other race. They are honest, sincere, honest, both of them. They deserve the admiration and support they are receiving from both races. They are performing a part of the contest races. And we wish them many more felicitous returns of the day. prived of the acquaintance of Him. Under both conditions the temper of the performer was of course affected, and it has required at times not only that and it has dramatic measures, to keep him quiet. It is quite true that there are some portions of the country where the Negro artist is accepted at his true worth, as a close man personally, and an elected man sympathetically, in such locations the management of a colored company requires no felt present, or to R. R. O. The moralization lies in jealousy, in the common sense. After on its own success, can be made a fit sympathetic and instructive in common.

Decision in Dancing Content at American Theatre Unpopular At the American Theatre last Friday evening the large audience on hand witnessed a back dancing contest that did not and not to the satisfaction of the major performers. Participating in the contest were five white boys, and one colored boy. The disatisfaction was occasioned by the management awarding the first prize to the colored contestant although he was not打错. The contestant who carried No 6 clearly outdanced his dunky opponent and should have been awarded the first prize. The decision gave the white had a taste of what prejudice against color can do despite ability. Not surprisingly that the decision was generally unpopular, in view of the fact that the contestant who was given the first prize did not meritoriously deserve it. We hope the management of the Smart Set Company will pay honor to whom honor is due. There is nothing in getting what you don't deserve. Among the Yandexillians Tommy Carter is the hit of the Farrell-Taylor Trio playing this week at the Albamba Theatre. The trio trust with Coates and Grundy, opened on the bill at the Dewey Theatre Sunday. Those Brittons certainly can dance. They can dance, immitate this week, and they deserve a much better spot than they are getting. The Salvation of the Negro Theoretical Profession. For twenty years, or more a colored man myself. I have been directly connected in exploiting colored amusement enterprises an performer, manager, owner of a theater, a theater manager, a failure and to success; I have been strictly on "onelvet" in British Columbia, and an strictly "to the bad" in Missouri; I have traveled these United States from coast to coast to counsel the theater believers. If any living man know the vicissitudes of the theatrical profession—of the colored theatrical profession—that I do. A company of colored performers has not only to go to the theater to entertain the theatrical venture, but has also that everlasting race question with which to contend.

Craig's Orchestra Tickets, 50 Cents Reserve Seats, 75 Cents Borough Hall Subway Station convenient to hall. All car lines through Fulton Street, within two blocks of hall prived of the necessities of life. Under each condition the temper of the performers was of course affected, and it has required of times not only that and diplomacy, but drumsy measures, to keep them together. It is quite true that there are not portions of the country where the Negro artist is accepted at his true worth, as a musician or actor artistically. When coursing in each locality the management of a colored company requires no skill than is necessary to successfully perform the role for the members realizing that they are receiving their just due from the local public and are satisfied and tractable; but when a colored company gets into an unanticipated vantage, the true nature of the Negro asserts itself. Being able to get any affliction from the public for their ill-treatment, the colored company create dissension among themselves, the manager must have the diplomacy of a Talleyrand and the force of a Napoleon to keep them from straining the show. In such emergencies the white manager must keep the company balanced, in order to keep the company balanced, and its members from conflict. Negro artists have precisely the same temperament as their white brothers and I believe they are musicians and equally and little bickering even further. And it is in of this phase of the matter that I would speak particularly. We are hopelessly in the minority, and play it up by reaching a one-light stand with "trouble in the ranks," it takes but a short half hour for knowledge thereof to spread. As a result the night business is greatly ill-fated, not only in the business itself. It is the first and greatest duty of the colored manager to have every member of the company clearly understand the meaning of the great word "HARMONY." We must always talk about a perfect understanding, and there should never be an outbreak of temper or show of vindictiveness. As I stated before, we are hopelessly in the minority, and we many divided against itself cannot stand. At one time, several lessons ago, I had a fine minister company. We gave a splendid performance, had return dates, well planned, and we well, well save for a few disturbing elements. Any manager knows the old story: The tenor got more recalls than the comedian, or vice versa, and there was bad blood, and we had to get the disgruntled parties together. I would read to them a long article, then current, regarding the discipline in August 1919 with the celebrated comedian, to have its effect. If much noted artisans as the members of that famous organization could live up to the rules prescribed, my disaffected performer concluded that very reasonable rules if insisted upon. We have progressed from the days of Sam Locuan and the Hyer Sisters, who had been real Negro talent properly cultivated, could do, to Williams and Walker, S. H. Dudley and Ernest Hogan who can occupy country. It is a far cry, but that old, inborn jealousy within the ranks remains. Public prejudice against the colored persecuted Negroes should he conduct himself as a gentleman should he will find a pleasant reception almost anywhere. The public recognized him as quicker if did in his contemporaries. I remember an amusing incident (and a profitable one as well), that occurred in a small Iowa city a few years ago. I had with my company a manager—a business owner—the looker to the business of our office. On the morning of our date in the city referred to both he and I were blue. Our advance sale was nothing, and a popular local attraction was against us. Shortly after the sale, the manager heard someone playing a violin in the hotel parlor with great skill. He looked into the parlor and found to his amazement the player to be one of the greatest but still virtuous in the orchestra. Entering into conversation with her she explained her presence there by saying she was "rooting up" with relatives after a hard professional season with one of the symphony orchestra, but that she would find an acquaintance to help her keep up her proficiency. He asked her if she would mind playing that afternoon with our bandmaster, a finished musician. At first she hesitated, but upon his assurance she could accompany her satisfactorily, she consented and even wooed so far as to invite some friends to attend the impromptu musical. Our leader proved more than equal to the occasion, played faultlessly and on the business of our musical afternoon. The manager got the whole thing into the evening paper, with the list of society folk present, and we placed that night to R. B. O. The migration of the colored professors in the school, in petty jealousy, in the working together, in the common weak, and in sticking together. After all every tub mount stand on its own bottom. If your rival scores a success, congratulate him himself; if he fails, be as faithful as he will sympathy. If we don't look out for ourselves the剧性地 as well as agriculturally or in commerce, we might as well give up the night. But they we do? We don't all by William and Walkers, or Ernest Hogans or Dudleyans any more than every white actor can be a Warfield, a Mannefield, a Drew or a Sothern. But we can all be men and women, and we can all be men and women, doing all we can, and at all times to help the game along. God's good will to all! Let us not use our tongues as awards to wound the reputations of others; but rather let us all, by diligence and close application, make our own gifts. Our gifts God has given us, reach success ourselves. LASS R. GIDSON: PALACE HALL CROWDED. Prof. Anderson's Reception a Great Knowsome Hardware, Hardcover, New. Success—Performance Reception Next. The doors of Prof. Chas. H. Anderson's dancing academy at the New Palace Hall 7th avenue and 51st street, was thrown on Thursday evening, April 2. The guests commenced to arrive early and at eight o'clock it was plainly evident an evening of pleasure was in sight. The guests continued to pour in until dancing was almost impossible. At eleven o'clock when the guests arrived to swell the number already present. Notwithstanding that there are two colored shows in town it did not seem to hurt Prof. Anderson's reception. At 12 o'clock fully 550 people were dancing with her. At 1:30 a.m. she brassed orchestra. At 1.30 a.m. m, the grand match took place, in which those wearing fancy dresses were presented with a beautiful Japanese silk hand-painted fan as a souvenir. This is the first of Prof. Chas. H. Anderson's April. A different reception will be held every Thursday evening in April, and at the last reception, which will be the Perfume reception, each lady present will be presented with a one-half ounce bottle of Agn. for further particulars. Dancing was continued until the wee hours of the morning and every one had one more good time. The saddest disappointment of the evening was when the orchestra played the first of 2 a.m. m. Prof. Charles H. Anderson's class in session every Thursday evening. AN ENGLISH LUNCHEON. Collector Anderson Guest of Sir Arthur Billin on "White Star" Steamship. Collector Charles W.

THOMAS 493 7th Ave., New York APR 24 New York FACTS OF CONFERENCE Earnest and Convincing Views on Race Question—New Political Sensations, Each Day — Dr. Washington Warmly Received. CHICAGO, April 7.—In the Chicago letter of last week some reference was made to the development of political interest in the approaching National election. What has occurred since that time has been nothing less than a continuous sensation. Up to last week one could easily believe from the freely expressed opinions on our streets and "on the housetops," so to speak, was that every colored leader and voter on the western shores of Lake Michigan was against anything and everything that looked like Taft or Roosevelt. But "you never can tell," you cannot know from what is said, believed and endorsed to-day what is going to happen to morrow. Enumeration of political sensations are now in order. (1) A political convention in the last Congressional District held on last Mon. December 15, 1912, electing delegates to the National Convention, at which convention the colored members held the balance of power, a resolution endorsing Secretary Taft was carried by a decisive majority. People who were not necessarily what a deep impression this action has had upon all kinds of politicians. There was no change of front or purchasing of votes, but the convention, composed of men who had sented the committee for the direction the stars were apt to take. It was not expected, not prayed for, and certainly at first not hoped for, yet the action came with such decisiveness and force that it had been expected to turn only one way and that way was toward the Secretary of War. (2) Still another unexpected occurrence. On Saturday morning last there was noticed a group of leading colored citizens of this city confidently and cheerfully working in the direction of the big and palatial hotel known as the Auditorium Annex. A colored sister noticeing this well-dressed and well-known company, was heard to remark, "There's something doing for also. And so there was." The Secretary Taft had sent out letters of invitation to a number of the leading colored citizens of this city for the purpose of holding a conference with the Secretary in one of the hotel parlor. This delegation so far had many delegations, representing other interests and races, who called to pay their respects to the avowed candidate for the presidency on the National Republican ticket. In due course of time the big, good-natured and frank-spoken president and the influence and the appearance of a big family gathering. Secretary Taft expressed himself as happily appreciative at meeting so many of the representative colored citizens of Chicago. In the few moments he had been able to watch the views on the race question. What he said may be summarized as follows: First. That he is absolutely opposed to the Southern policy of disfranchisement. That if the South imposes an educational qualification for its voter it is nothing less than fraud to a white man register simply because he is white, and reject a colored citizen, however intelligent, and for no other reason than because he is not white. Second. The Southern States must not expect to prosper and gain ascendancy on the ground that competent colored men are deprived of their franchise, are to continue. Third. That he, the Secretary, had been greatly wronged by people who had read only disconnected portions of his address and connected portions to make it appear that he was opposed to the Negro franchise. He gave frank and emphatic assurances that he is now and always would be in favor of equal justice to all men regardless of race or color. He asks that his rights be protected, that he be an indication of his true feeling and attitude of mind. The committee who thus listened to the Secretary confessed themselves as manifest sincerity and left him with the feeling that they had been talking to a man who fully measured up to the higher standards of real statesmanship. The committee was composed of the following well-known Chicago citizens: Rev. D. P. Roberts, pastor of Quinn Chapel, A. M. E. Church; Dr. A. J. Carey, pastor of Iceland; Rev. E. J. Carey, pastor of Eckhoff Church; Rev. D. H. Harris, pastor of Shilah Baptist Church; Major F. A. Demison, Assistant Corporation Counsel; Hon. Oscar DePriest, County Commissioner; Hon. E. H. Wright, member of the State Board of Education Assistant United States District Attorney; Louis B. Anderson, Assistant County Attorney; Mr. R. L. Taylor, prominent citizen and member of the Niskarn Movement; W. L. H. Wright, member of the State Board of Education; Col. J. R. Marshall, of the 5th Regiment, Illinois National Guards and alternate delegate to the National Republican Convention; Mr. Brown, a prominent citizen and member of the State Board of Education; H. S. Turner, editor of the Illinois Idea; Dr. George C. Hall; Mr. Willis Jefferson, prominent politician. It would scarcely be possible to get together a more representative group of those composing this delegation those composing this delegation who called to pay their respects to the Secretary of War. Your correspondent had no difficulty in getting hold of inside those who were there could talk of nothing else. Dr. Booker T. Washington reached Chicago. Friday morning, April 3, and entered upon a program of work that would have daunted most men, in shafflift night. On Friday night he was greeted in Orchestra Hall by as fine an audience as ever assembled in this magnificent auditorium. For two hours he held the interest of this audience in a way that was a decided triumph to his popularity and power of oratory. At noon on Saturday he was the guest of leading Chicago business men and bankers at a luncheon at the Union League Grammar, not yet half completed. Scenes of people throng his rooms at the Palmer House to pay their respects. FANNIE BARRIER WILLIAMS. Schenectady Notes. Prod. Anderson's F朋辈 Celebrate Fifteenth Anniversary — Out-of-Town Guests—Those Who Attended. The fifteenth anniversary celebration and ball of Prof. J. Milton Anderson's dancing academy, at 114-16 West 83rd street; on Thursday evening, April 2, was perhaps the most delightful affair given by this popular dancing master during the present season. The reception was given in honor of and to commemorate the fifteenth year of Prof. Anderson's academy, which has been conducted with the at above address for fifteen years. The acense in the spacious, academy—especially decorated for the occasion—with its myriad of various colored electric lights, many hand-one gown of the ladies, presented a brilliant and magnificent appearance. The music, which was furnished by the New Amsterdam Orchestra, consisted of old-time musical compositions, twenty years ago, and each number played brought forth thunderous applause from the vast assemblage. Not until an early hour in the morning—1:30 o'clock—did the guests begin to seek their homes of those present included the following: St. Mark's Lyceum. Last Thursday evening at St. Mark's Lycamina an unusually interesting program was furnished. The meeting was in the interest of St. Mark's Mirror, the lycamina paper. A fairly good crowd was present and showed great interest in the effort to increase the circulation of the Mirror. The song service which is always an interesting feature, was especially good and rich. The meeting was presided over by courageous remarks and suggestions as to how a newspaper should be conducted, introduced Mr. Cleveland G. Allen, the associate editor of St. Mark's Mirror. In addition of a newspaper in the community and nation. He said a newspaper was the mightiest instrument for good or evil, and was the great channel for making known the facts of the Mirror. He made a plea for the Mirror, be next speaker was Mr. John E. Robinson, editor of the Mirror, and in an interesting manner he told of the growth of the Mirror. He planned for the support of the Mirror and other newspapers published in the city. He said the Mirror will only grow in size to the proportion of support given to the New York Ace, was introduced as the next speaker. He said he was glad to be present at St. Mark's Lycamina, as it was doing a grand work. He told us he was doing a new policy. He said Tit. Ace was the most influential college newspaper published today, and had the largest circulation. He urged his hearts to form the habit of reading the white newspapers. He was bodily applauded. The last speaker of the evening was President George W. Allen of St. Mark's Lycamina, who encouraged the action. He said it would help the Mirror if the Mirror grew, and chronicled its doing. HOTEL PROPRIETOR -STANDS PAT. Steward of Hotel Kicks Over Traces, But Is Subdued. BALTIMORE, April 6. In Annapolis, Ml. last week an incident occurred which which merits anything will get it. Edward Little, secretary to the head waiter at Carvel Hall (Mr. John B. Harvey, Baltimore) had some misunderstanding to be held responsible for Little's discharge by the proprietor, with the remark that he would go if Little was kept. The proprietor told the steward that Mr. Harvey had charged his men, and as he had shown his ability to manage his part of the hotel ever since he had been hired that he was forced to serve Mr. Harvey who his discretion Little is still working and so is the steward. The Baltimore representative of TIME Aug. paid a visit to the Penny Savings Avenue, and found it doing business just as other banking institutions in town. They claim to be doing well with a list of accounts of them being white. During their short career they have done a business of over $30,000. They were incorporated May, 1907, and opened their doors for business. They have accounts and active accounts, safe deposit boxes and certificate deposits. The officers are: I. G. Gibson, president; S. A. Bolden, president; E. C. Cashier; S. A. Bolden, secretary; Geo. L. Lindleton, counsel. Typhoid Victims Recovering. PARKSKILL, April 5.—The epidemic of typhoid fever which has caused many deaths in this community the past winter kills. Miss Hutchinson and Mr. William Aloura are convulsive. Miss Alice Mosher is improving from her recent serious illness and is attending at the Park Street M. E. Church had a fine pres. on Sunday, led by Miss W. Array. Lindsay conducted a concert at Westport Monday, evening FILKS' CONSOLIDATION Time Rapidly Approaching When AB Troubles in Bikh Ouder Will Be At Best. Antlers all over the country are talking reconciliation and correctly urging art arbitration committees to convene in executive session specially. Dr. Wm. E. Atkins, grand exalted ruler of the I. B. P. O. Eiks of the World, writing us under date of March 31st, 1908, answers our suggestions recently submitted relative to consolidation as follows: "Yours of 13th inat. is received. I hesitated to reply to you immediately as the matter you submitted required more serious consideration than I had time to give it at that time. I want to say in the first place that Mr. Howard has not won the suit against us. The case came to trial but the court reserved its decision until some matters of law could be looked up touching the case. A verdict will be rendered at the April term of court. I am leaving it entirely to the choice of the two committees as to the time and place of meeting. Under the authority to call a meeting of the grand lodge at Washington in July. The matter will have to come back before the grand lodge at its regular session to be disposed of. This would be acting in violation of the laws of the grand lodge. "There is no way by which I can say that members of Howard's connection shall be allowed to enter our lodges, who would vouch for them as being Elks in good standing? While this shows your extreme goodness of heart, I am certain I must such request it. I may complete it, but my criticisms have in the very briefest way referred to the suggestions you offered and you may rest assured that I shall do all in my power to bring about a speedy adjustment to the laws of the land to do * * * * * . However eager I may be for quorum, I cannot afford to disregard the laws and the constitution by which we are governed. To Brother J. E. Hawkins, the chairman of our committee, 311 Pacific Block, Seattle, Washington, a series of propositions which I have advised to offer in answer to the suggestions, will be written to him and secure a copy of them if for no other reason than to note the fairness of our position as compared to the stand taken by the opposite side. You will be the whatever use of them you may desire." In submitting our suggestions as an individual Author relative to consolidation and its disinterestness of speed measures for consideration, it wasn't our fault that the fraternity should be totally disgarded or the head of the order call a meeting in Washington, but that leader to suggest to the grand officers the advisability of such actions on the part of its officers in the fraternity in a spirit of fraternal interest to encourage favorable consideration and awaken activities along lines of mutual cooperation from both sides of the organization, Dr. Akins, who is the president of the fraternity in Philadelphia Triangle, also Dr. Akins' interview with G. Grant Williams. Eq. fully answers our suggestions satisfactorily. We feel more than pleased with the appraisal improvement of fraternal conditions in the cremum of Elkton fog the past six weeks. The appreciable attitude of reconciliation and consolidation of the two organizations should be urgently encouraged and supported, and a mentor for arresting sentiments of a hurtful nature, placing the fraternities in a state of tranquility. This remarkable fraternal interest has given greatest importance ever conceived that appreciable conditions must live and continue its activities in a vital and earnest manner. The Antlers of both organizations through their work in the community much in preserving its present favorable consideration relative to reconciliation and its blessings. The critical moment in its history was when the Antlers of both organizations controlled the press, writing unfavorable articles from time to time, and its subsequent history has so far surpassed our best expectations at that time us to afford us all cause for great satisfaction. Past Exalted Ruler "Will Grant" G Grant Williams, E. V. Catt Lodge, No. 29, of Philadelphia, the indefatigable and prominent city editor of the Philadelphia journal, our city on city home from Hartford, Conn., made us an agreeable and beneficial visit Thursday evening, April 2d. Brother Williams attitude relative to compromise is the plausible theme of fraternity work. He placed an impression regarding the Washington statement concerning the local controversy. Antler Williams and the writer concurrently and cordially discussed the deploration of the city's reputation, and the present favorable attitude towards constitutional consolidation of the two large organizations, he saying among other interesting remarks that he had a visit from Dr. Atkins and was agreeing the matter of unity appreciated Afro-American Elkdom. He greatly appreciated the remarks of Dr. Atkins regarding the two committees on arbitration. We too, endorse the nitty-gritty of our agreement regarding the matters of unity. We agreed to write conservative and earnest articles on unity. SUT JUNE ROEBUCK, P. E. R., No. 32. April 6, 1908. ORDER OF MOSES Large Number Henr 41st Annual Sermon at Mother Zion Zion Church.

Politics in Georgia are getting interesting more and more so each day. The chances are that Mr. Taft will receive one-half of the votes and the allies the other half. That in a recent letter to an political convention held in New York City that Professor DuBois, of Atlanta University, advises our people to vote the Democratic ticket in the election, he estimates the public to know that what Professor DuBois says about voting does not amount to anything, as he cannot vote himself. He is not a registered voter. He cannot enough courage to register and thus prepare himself to vote for or against any party. He takes no part in doing anything to help the Negro voter in the city. He looks for people in New York city how to vote. The bank which was organized in this city some weeks ago is making progress. The season of commencements in our various schools and colleges is now near, and these is an interesting activity at all these institutions of learning.
