THE NEW YORK AGE. TAFT'S NOMINATION NOW A CERTAINTY So Declares the New York World, Independent, After a Thorough Canvass of Situation OPPOSITION TO SECRETARY HAS PRACTICALLY COLLAPSED Prospects Are That the Secretary and Bryan Will Be the Respective Nominees at the November Election—The Former Sure to Win—It Will Be Only a Question of Secretary Taft's Majority. The New York World, an independent paper with Democratic leanings, predicts the inevitable nomination of Secretary Taft at the Republican National Convention, and declares that if it is Taft and Bryan in November Secretary Taft's election is assured. What the World says: William H. Taft will be nominated for President by the Republican National Convention. If William J. Bryan is to be the Democratic candidate Judge Taft's election is certain. There need be no anxiety as to the outcome of another Bryan campaign; no increased industrial suspense; no further shutting down of factories; no new recruits to the army of enployed. The opposition to Judge Taft's nomination has practically collapsed. He has a majority of the delegates already elected. He has book of him all the power, prestige and popularity of the Roosevelt Administration. None of the other candidates has any considerable support outside his own State, most of them count on only a complimentary vote. None of them could deliver his delegates to Hughes or Cannon or Knox or Fairbanks. All four of these opposing candidates are personally friendly to Taft. In the end they will prefer his nomination to the alternative of Roosevelt's renomination, knowing that they must take one or the other. The sooner they make this position plain the better it will be for the country. All of them know that Taft is sure to be nominated. All of them should realize that public assurance of his nomination would be a great stimulus to prosperity. By removing popular uncertainty as to the action of the Republican Convention they would aid greatly in the restoration of confidence. For if Mr. Bryan is as sure of the Democratic nomination as he pretends, nothing remains in doubt but the size of Judge Taft's majority. BISHOP BRATTON'S SPEECH In "Christian South and Negro Education" from the Standpoint of a Minister and Teacher. The following is the speech made by Bishop Bratton at the recent meeting of the Southern Education Board, at Memphis, Tennessee: I have unusual hesitancy in speaking to you upon the subject assigned; indeed, the timidity well nigh reached the stage of fright, when two days ago I learned, for the first time, that my feeble voice is to be raised, not only in the hearing of our own distinguished educators, but in that of our right honorable and right distinguished guest, for whose address we are waiting with impatience. Unknown to him, he has been my teacher for many years past, and the man, though he live to be old, is still a boy in the presence of his parents. And then I have felt embarrassed by the magnitude of the subject in its relations to well nigh all the social questions, not simply of the South, but of the entire nation, and indeed of the world. The particular form of the title, however, "The Christian South and Negro Education," while legitimately admitting that we are not really aware, quite as readily allows a contraction of the wider question, and the fixing of our thought upon the most important and its most practical social feature. Thus we may properly eliminate one feature which I am personally most willing to allow others to discuss—the political relation of the race—which is for the less likely, and the satisfaction of all who really know the races and the history which has made our present relations in the South. The social relation of the races may not only encourage acceptance, but the intelligent reception of our topic. That two races so distinct as the whites and the blacks are could live together in (humanly speaking) perfect relations, closely allied in business, in social affairs, loyal in their affections and lavish of sympathy, each implicitly trusting the other as far as trust was deserved, is still a marvel to time, of which he equally so to be grateful. It is also the relation of the better class of Southern slave owner and slave up to the era of reconstruction. It was a relation which no one has ever been able to describe, and which could be illustrated only by the rare rems of a few writers, like Thomas Nelson Page, who are fully understood by those who have had some experience with the plantation relationship. It is not possible for us, of the South to explain this relation to our brothers of the North, though we are still able to exhibit the fact in rare instances of inherited plantation relationship, if they will come to us in our country homes. What was once the close and sympathetic relation of races suffered a remarkable change during the period of 300 years lived in the tendering wide of the two races, while individual friendships and affections between members of the two survived. That such a revolution, an egalitarian should have occurred M. REV. HENRY BLANTON-PARKS Editor of The Voice of Migrants, Candidate for Bishop of the A. M. E. Church without resulting in everlasting hatred between the races is explainable only by the fact that love is stronger than self-interest, and God's divine grace than human passion. And God's divine regime, the master was a shepherd of the plantation flock. He had his motives, of course, but his motives did not destroy the fact of his per- REV. HENRY BIL Editor of The Voice of Mission, Candid sistent and devoted care which developed the relationship between himself and his people into one of love and confidence. The old relations were not broken without fearful throes. No one who has been in love with him and whom he is any more. It is now past history and need not be revived save as it throws light upon the present conditions. It is a crime to revive it, save to calm impassioned historical temper. The result of such a reaction is the kind which settled into, not social hatred, but social separation, distinct and clear cut. During that short period between the declaration of unanimation and reconstruction, the relations were still of the kindest and the closest. There were not lacking both men and women in the South who taught the Negroes (as before the war) Christian truth and morality from the pulpit, and (now also) sexual household arrangements of learning. Such the period of manhood and destruction put a stop to all this. When the smoke and dust of this frightful period had flouted away; and the uncertainties had gradually been measured, the races emerged with the conviction that they could not dwell together upon the footing of equality, social or other equality, which had been the fond DNA of the Negro race, and that there must be their separation, and that the institution, maintain, was the only fact settled by the struggle of the period. Just what the relation would be, just how close the tie between the individuals would become; whether the separation would engender a kindly feeling and sympathy, or hate and estrangement—these questions and many more were not settled and are not yet settled, and perhaps cannot be until they reward, and the younger generations of both races give one another in the glare of the modern light, unintended by the softer lines of the "moon before the war." Into this modern period (time is relative, and ancient medieval and modern light might well be applied to these periods since in them well nigh as much change relatively has been wrought as in those long periods which history makers are now advancing and may not wisely go without its education any more than without its Christianity. "The Christian South." A word about it. The South above any other section represents Anglo-Saxon America, native born America. Scarcely more than a trace of foreign born is to be found in the Southern States. Our people are not Anglo-Saxon and so civil and priest Anglo-Saxon traditions of home and family. That they are Christion (after our human fashion and in the measure of present human ability) no one is better able to attest than the bishop who goes in and out among every class of his fellows. Should this great body of Anglo-Saxonism become our Christian than it is, the effect upon our entire nation would be disastrous beyond the power of thought to conceive. That it should become more and more Christian in thought and practice is not only devoutly to be wished, but is inexpressibly important to the necessarily progressive settlement of the people. A wide moral effect, before the mind and heart of our American people. The Christian South has its relation to the Negroes on the one side and to the balance of this great nation on the other. If there is any section of our country AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION which must desire the fear and prosperity and happiness, of our land, certainly it should be this most American section of it. Is it too much to say that "the race is more vitally intermingled those we are more familiar with" in the situation affects the moral life and therefore the peace, prosperity and happiness of America than any other one issue in social life, and the solution, if it is even to be worked out at all, is going to be found through the Christian thought and sentiment, and the labor of Christian men of science. Diving Guidance Needed. I am one of those who believe that God is the God of nations, and that Jesus Christ our Lord, is the light as well as the life of man; that no issue is settled without His guidance; that all issues may be settled with it; that no problem without to be found in the solved problems within. The real solutions of the vexed and vexing issues of social life in, and always has been, found in the growth of our minds in the knowledge of our methods and our dealing with life. Whatever the Christian South may do practically, however far short of the ideal she may find it BLANTON. PARKS Candidate for Bishop of the A. M. E. Church. necessary to fall from time to time in meeting practical difficulties, however clouded by political issues this ideal of Christian and democratic relationship of races may be, she cannot blind her eyes to that which the Christ has said, the ideal of a Christian life which expresses love, in forthreance, in unfailing hope. It is not by accident that the Negro is in our mist, that Anglo-Saxon America of today has inherited the problem (aggrand than that of our fathers) of his relation to his white neighbors. It is not by accident that the white ambition to rise and the inspiration to higher life intellectual. These are the outcome, not of accident, but of Divine Precedence. And they constitute one of those opportunities of national life, the issue of which is the nation's judgment. Only the great problem the less able am I to see the end of its progressive solution. Only a few things seem to me to stand out clearly and distinctly above the dust clouds. First—That the Negro is capable of development to a point whose limit I have not yet covered. Second—That the most majority are still children intellectually and little short of savage morality. Third—That the relations between the races at present, however theoretically estranged, is yet practically and very largely kindly, cordial, and often affectionate, only really disturbed by the astonishing small class of brates whose disciplined conduct acts as fire to combustibles. Fourth—That whatever the future may have in store, the present has the gravely duty of making better the generation with which it has to deal, and the certain result of giding the future solution through the training of more enlightened and more self-educated students to grapple with the problem. No one will be hardy enough to maintain that ignorance is as wise as enlightenment, or that the one is as safe as the other. Fifth—That no solution of difficulties growing out of the relations of two races is going to be permanent and satisfactory unless both made contributions to it. For both contributions from without, is either apt to be right, or likely to be tolerated for long. This brings me to the final consideration for which all that I have said has been preparing—the education of the Negro. The only right way to help a race, or an individual (unless he be an help himself, and in this its wide sense is educational. Education does not mean Latin and Greek and the mathematics and literature; it does not mean one or all of these things necessarily; it means one or all of these in the measure from which they are found useful or necessary to the effusion of him who is being fitted to help himself, and in this its wide sense is educational. Education does not mean none of these things in the education of some exceptional being. But to train the mind to right uses of its powers, that it may do its duty in discriminating absorption of what life and experience offer to it, rejecting the meritorious and assembling and incorporating the meritorious into its life, and the business of education. The success of course depends largely upon the discriminating ability of the teacher who studies his pupil as closely as he does the subjects to be imparted. (Continued on Page 2) WILL STAND BY PARTY Bishop Derrick Comes Out Strong in an Interview He Says Whether Taft, Roosevelt or Foraker Will Have Undivided Support of Negroes of the Country. WASHINGTON. April 23.—Bishop Herrick, of New York, a leader in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, called on the President to-day. After coming from the White House he said: "I have just returned from a visit to South Africa and I wanted the President to know that some of us are same enough to stand by him to the last ditch. Nothing can be done by him or any other Republican to obliterate the debt we owe the party of freedom and liberality. No matter who is nominated at Chicago, whether President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft or Senator Foraker, he will have the undivided support of the Negroes of the country. Whatever feeling of animosity may have been entertained in connection with the Brownsville incident will pass away." Bishop Herrick was presented to the President by W. T. Vernon, the Negro Register of the Treasury, who has been doing some political work in Secretary Taft's interest. After calling on the President, Bishop Derrick accompanied by Register W. T. Vernon, paid his respect to Secretary Taft and assured him of his interest in him and of his loyalty and the loyalty of his race to the Republican party. The interview was a most pleasant one and the secretary expressed himself as being most appreciative of the visit of the costumed bishop. NEGRO-REPUBLICAN DELEGATES W. B. Hollison, Lawyer, and Charles Banks, Banker, of Minneapolis, Will He Named. JACKSON, Miss., April 22—Two well-known Negro Republican, W. E. M. Hollison, of Vickburg, and Charles Banks of Monmouth Bayon, will be named as delegates from the State-at-large to the Republican National Convention at Chicago. This has been agreed upon by the party leaders, and it is generally conceded that Banks and Hollison will capture the honors. The identity of the other two delegates at elections has not been finally determined. The opinion that J. B. Yellowd, of Ridgeland, a well-known Madison county planter, will be one of them, and that the fourth place will be tendered either to F. W. Collins or L. B. Moseley, both of the last named gentlemen being President Russell Federal party name referrer for Mississippi. Banks and Hollison are both assistant supporters of Taft, and it is stated that there will be an antitaff man chosen from any of the Congressional districts at the district conventions on April 22. SCHOOLS MUST TEACH TRADES. E. F. Brown, Commissioner of Education, Emphasizes Need of Vocational Training. So Long Advocated by Dr Washington. Every educational convention, meeting or discussion field leads to the evidence that there is a growing sentiment against the continuation of the public school system and the present "cultural lines." There is a marked protest against the courses of study mapped out with a view to preparing pupils to enter high schools and colleges. There is a demand for more practical education or vocational training. It is being manifested particularly in the movement for trade education. The remarkable teachers' meeting, convention or institute, at Philadelphia this week, when 5,000 teachers of that city gathered to listen to prominent educators where more than one speaker praised the States' Commissioner of Education E. E. Brown, appointed for more vocational training; Dr. Nathan Schaeffer, State Superintendent, Pennsylvania, severely examined examination; Dr. Baillier, of the New York University School of Post-Graduate and specialized high school, and President Shafer Brown, of Erie, argued for less vague teaching. Because of the increased attention being devoted to trade education, Commissioner Brown's address is of particular interest. He declared that "new educational needs are crowding fast upon us, and schools are regurgitating us with ultra-comprehensive training to take hints from the human experience and follow them up to large educational ends. "In remaking our schools to meet advanced requirements, we will have to offer training for vocations in life, without giving up our principles of liberal education, and we will have to take hints from the human experience and follow them up to large educational ends. "In remaking our schools to meet advanced requirements, we will have to offer training for vocations in life, without giving up our principles of liberal education, and we will have to take hints from the human experience and follow them up to large educational ends. This attitude has, I think, been amply justified. But we are coming to think that an education for manhood and an education for occupation are not mutually compatible. The idea of an honorable self-support seems to us a highly moral conception. "The schools of the future will educate men to the idea of human cooperation more distinctly than the schools of the past. The knowledge of social relations will fill a larger place in the conceptions of the school. One special form of human cooperation will effect these remade schools. The responsibility of laymen for intelligent co-operation with specialists in many matters of public interest will be increased. The specially trained and competent expert and then to uphold him and work with him is to be increasing the method of modern democracy—New York Globe. P. REV. H. T. J.

A new dormitory has also for the first time been available. This dormitory contains 48 rooms, and allowed us to add to our enrollment. Room was promptly taken. New departments of instruction have been added one, the Teachers' Training Department and the other the Dairy Department. The Dairy Department was paused under the charge of Prof. P. E.

Democratic Presidential Candidate Comes Out Flat-Footed for Policy of the South DEFENDS SOUTHERN DISFRANCHISEMENT LAWS Question Propounded After Mr. Bryan's Speech on "Universal Brotherhood." Delivered Before a Typical Cooper Union Audience in New York City, April 22—How Can Bishop Walters and DuBois Reconcile This With Their Advice to Vote for Bryan? William, Jennings Bryan, candidate for the nomination of President, and who will in all probabilities receive the nomination at the Democratic Convention to be held in Denver, has declared that the South The Negro in the South has the protection of living under the laws made for the black man and the white man alike, but the Filipinos are kept under laws made for them and not for us. OHNSON, Ph. D. ate for Bishop of the A. M. E. Church. has a right to deprive the Negro of his vote, according to the New York Tribune. Several Negro politicians have been of late urging the members of their race to bolt the Republican ticket this fall and support Bryan for the Presidency. Many white and colored voters are anxious to know if these bolting advocates are enthusiastically supporting Bryan after his anti-Negro utterances in New York City. Here is what the New York Tribune has to say about the incident: It was a typical Cooper Union audience which filled the hall last night to greet William Jennings Bryan and ask him questions afterward. About 600 political and social nuts for Mr. Bryan to crack were flung at him, and he cracked about half a dozen of them. His speech was about "Universal Brotherhood," but the questions were about everything that ever happened since the creation. One undergirded youngster handed him the hardest one. He wanted to know if the policy of the white Democrats in the South in disfranchising the Negro was in accord with the idea of universal brotherhood as proposed by Mr. Bryan. Mr. Bryan hedged for time for a minute. He wanted to know whether it was a Negro or a Republican who asked the question. Several voices at once said it was both. Somebody else said that it was "only a lady." "Don't say 'only a lady,'" rebuked Charles Sprague Smith, who had the meeting in charge. Finally a young man of distinctly Hebratic feature was persuaded to rise to admit that he had written the question. "Are you a Republican," asked Mr. Bryan. "No," replied his questioner, "for I am not old enough to vote yet." "That is too large a question to answer in so short a time as I have," Mr. Bryan replied in a judicial manner. "As I have said before, under the laws disfranchising the Negro by demanding educational requirements in the South the Negro has an opportunity to get within the law by coming within the qualification. But I want to say to the Republicans in the North that under the laws which they have fastened upon the Philippines not one of them can vote under new qualification. NEGRO WOULD NOT VOTE Candidate Comes Out Flat- policy of the South DISFRANCHISEMENT LAWS Mr. Bryan's Speech on "Universal more a Typical Cooper Union Audience 22—How Can Bishop Walters and Their Advice to Vote for Bryan? The Negro in the South has the protec- tion of living under the laws made for the black man and the white man alike, but the Filipinos are kept under laws made for them and not for us. "The white man in the South has disfranchised the Negro in self-protection; and there is not a Republican in the North who would not have done the same thing under the samg circumstances. Those Republicans in the North who dispute this or say that they are different from the South either are not frank with themselves or are assuming what is not true. The white men in the South will not allow a few men to use the solid black vote to further their own financial and political interests. And that is what was being done. "I want to say right now that the white men in the South are giving the Negroes better laws than the Negroes would give to the white men if they were making the laws. Why, right in Washington they disfranchised every Negro, even if they had to disfranchise some white men to do it. The white men of the South are determined that the Negro will and shall be disfranchised everywhere it is necessary to prevent the recurrence of the horrors of carpet bag rule." CARLTON AVE. Y. M. C.

GEORGIA FARMERS CONFERENCE. Plana in Motion for Farmers Institute at Clark University in August. ATLANTA, GA., April 28.—Plans are now being promulgated to hold, on August 3, 2 farmers' institute for the benefit of the Negro farmers of Georgia. This meeting, it is expected, will open at Clark University, and continue in session one week. This date was decided upon to the fact that all crops will be in by that time, thus enabling those who desire to attend an opportunity of doing so without hindrance. The regular students will be away on the annual vacations, thus allowing the classrooms to be utilized by those in attendance. It is estimated that of the 224,226 farms in operation in the State of Georgia, 40 per cent. are operated by Negro farmers, 85 per cent. of the crop raised being cotton. The aim of the meetings is to show improved methods of economical farming thereby raising the earning capacity of both men and farms, and to give an added stimulus to the work. Bishops L. H. Holsey, of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, and H. M. Turner, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, are supporting the movement and urging the many Negro farmers to attend the session.

PARKS Editor of the Notes of Minnesota—New York's Candidate for Bishop—A Man of Storing Characters—Candidate for Bishop. It is now fully 12 years that Rev. Henry Blinton Parks, D. D., has been a President of New York City, holding the position of President Home and Foreign Missionary Department with headquarters at 91 Bible House. We have never brought him before the eyes of our readers because we know how much we love him with respect to publication and praise. We would have spared him the pain if it were not that there are evident signs that this modern "Elijah" will be taken from him. The various congregations claiming the teetuat of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in this city, in fact every evangelical congregation among colored people in the world, has been drawn to their feet as if involuntarily while listening to the outbursts of evangelical oratory with which they share their hearts, sitting in rapture at his feet. The story is told of an experienced newspaper reporter, who on one occasion attended Bethel A. M. E. Church on 25th street in this city for the purpose of receiving a letter from a friend. Our hero was to preach. The preliminaries ended the doctor started his sermon from the text, "Let your light so shine," etc., and the reporter was following him with those modern biogeographies peculiar to the region. The doctor got into one of those high flights of oratory for which he is so celebrated, which completely demoralized the reporter; the pain refused to budge an hour shorter could only sit with gaping mouths, and remained unites, before the doctor, had removed the magnetic spell. His Birth, Parentage and Early Training This prince of pulpit orators was the son of Johnson and Bilye Park, being born on a farm in Campbell county in the State of Georgia on Independence Day, 1829. He was the premier anniversary of our country's national history. The manual labor of the farm and the enjoyment of a rude rusticity laid the foundation of a rude wart physique which to it an itinerant occupation the State constituted especially among the members of the Afro-American family, is of inestimable value. His father, although a slave, was a man of giant intellect, and, despite the poverty and hardship, made a launch into elementary classics, familiarize himself with the Latin language. His piety had led him into the church and he was for some time pastor of the A. M. E. Church at Carterville, Ga., the proper education of his two sons, Henry and Eugene, when he passed into the other life, and six months later Eugene followed, having met his death in coming accident. Eugene alone was left the center of his maternal affection until in the midsummer of 1900 she passed away at the honored age of 70 years. At the age of 12 young Henry was admitted to the Store's School, Atlanta, working during the day and spent to night school. After three years at Store he entered Atlanta University and after a two year course got an appointment to the University of Georgia, was during his career as a school teacher that he was converted at Cummings in Perrythe county, Ga., on August 15, 1876. He was a teacher at a local preschool by the Rev. Joseph Wood, Presiding Elder of the district, and in January, 1878 was taken from the school to the Ward to fill an appointment in the then feferrer-city of New Orleans. He very soon showed the bishop and the Church that he was a great financier, for N. Orleans with a membership of 75 am and debt of $5,000 was built up in mei riship and the debt minimized to $1.5. Henceforth he became the terror to church debts and was moved from State to State. it appears, solely for the being good, failures deb w. This he did admirably and ade- cely. Moved a Step Higher. He was now being recognized as a man fit to give advice and begin his movements along the lines of a more culinary profession, four years on the Connecctional Education Board of Kansas; two years saw him treasurer of the Kansas Annual Conference; one year treasurer of the Preachers' Association of Omaha and Council Bluffs; one year treasurer of the Advisor's Council at the World's Parliament of Religions at Chicago in 1883; was delegate to the general conferences of 1888, 1892 and 1896, and besides being secretary to treasurer of the Fifth District of the United States for three years Grand Chaplainin of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Louisiana; he was delegate to the Convention, Louisville, Ky.; to the Interstate Literary Association of 1892, St. Joseph, Mo.; member of the Committee on Revision of Discipline, General Conference, 1892; Secretary of the Board of Church Conferences, Louisville, Ky.; to the Executive Board of the Building and Loan Association at Vicksburg, Miss. He had grown naturally to the consistency of a general officer by dint of sheer merit and executive ability; so in the quadrennium of May, 1851, he was given the portfolio of the Parent Home and Foreign Missionary Society in succeeding B. Derrick B. now bishop. With receipts from Easter Day contributions which at that time realized a little over $1,500, he has raised the fund to nearly $20,000. His work has been years familiarized the people with him and he with them, and backed by his ability as an able missionary lecturer, he has been able to lecture the various subjects from mendable system of giving to mission besides being an economist of the first class, he has succeeded in husbanding his resources until the department has been able to balance its accounts, which are in good order, and leave a balance in hand yearly. Hla Great Message la Africen. A pure-blooded Afro-American, he seems to dream continually of the fathers' land of Africa. His platform utterances made on land missions are thrilling. His eyes sparkle a bit of information regarding some great missionary success in West or South Africa; and to perpetuate a crusade for the liberation of Africa. Sir Knight of the Henry McNill Turner Crusaders of the Twentieth Century, an order of Afro-American churchmen pledged to the missionary redemption of the African slaves. Volunteer Movement for Missions at Cleveland O. in 1858, he was appointed chairman of the African Council, whither he had carried five native Africans, and then students at Wilberforce University. The Editor of the Vote of Missions. Perhaps he is better known to us in his capacity an editor of the Voice of Missions than in any way else. This Church organ was only a semi-official newspaper at the time of his assumption of office in the secretariat; and he was not dressed in formal attire, nor did entire control of it, but gave tone to it so that it stands second to none as an illustrated missionary monthly periodical. and while he might not be told to dabble in politics, nor to raise, any of the so-called "Negro questions," yet he is always on the quivive to publish anything that will educate his race along the upper class. He is also a slave in his life. As an humble Christian man he is widely known; his ministerial career began when Bishop S. M. D. Ward ordained him a deacon at the A. M. E. Church, Haton Rouge, La. March 28, 1881, and he was sent to him to the presbytery on February 13, 1881, and if any man can show just cause or impediment why he should not be raised to the episcopal chair at the forthcoming general conference to be held at John's A. M. E. Church Norfolk, Va., March 13, 1881, him now speak or hereafter forever hold his peace—Ep. DR. H. T. JOHNSON Editor of the "Christian Recorder" a Nated Writer and Christian Worker, Candidate for Bishop of the A. M. E. Church. If the history and policy of the world's leaders have to place the strongest and best equipped of their ranks in the highest seat of authority, the A. M. E. General Conference which convenes next Monday at Norwalk to elect a new leader takes no backward step in the selection, the men to be exalted to the bishopric. We know enough of this strong and representatives body of Negro Methodists who are able men who might be chosen as episcopal leaders. But since only a limited number can be chosen, it stands to reason that the best trained, qualified and meritorious able men who might be chosen as episcopal leaders. The AGE has hitherto mentioned the names of one or two of this meritorious galaxy, and now we would commend another, the man who has shaped the future of the great A. M. E. connection for the past 16 years, the Rev. H. T. Johnson, the present editor of the Christian Recorder, we mean. In our opinion following among other numerous reasons: He is eminently qualified by training through the schools, holding parchments as graduate and postgraduate of leading college and country. He has defended his title to scholarship in the numerous books and booklets he has written. Twenty years ago he was a guest at a gos" and published a number of favorable notices from able critics on the same. His "Traacher," "Pulpit, Pew and Parish" have been placed in the list of notable writers pursuing the ministry of that church. His "Tuskgo Talks," "Literary Gems," "Key to the Problem," "Wings of the Tortoise," and "man of thought, learning and scholarship." But he is a man of broad experience, generous disposition, wide observation, a man who knows his Church and people, a man who knows the importance of tireless tongue and pen. Eight years ago when he elected bishops at Columbus Ir. Johnson was honored with the highest vote of any man not declared elected. He was a man of virtue, fitness and prestige and the prediction is that he will head the list of those who will be elected on the first ballot at Columbus Ir. He ought to be and Tur. Beespeaks it is a sentiment of many of its readers.-Eb. REV. EDWARD WATERS LAMPTON Mississippiana Unite in Endorsing Rev for Bishop 12 Lt. A. M. P. Chishik MOUND BAYOCT. Miss. April 28—There is so much being said and written nowadays in behalf of some noble sons of Allen. I may be pardoned for saying the name of the man whose record from the circuit rider to paymaster for the general church is an unbroken chain of brilliant success. Whether conducting a revival, filling the church with good music or traveling as presiding elder, during the men of his district on to higher and greater achievements for Bethel, or with his pen denouncing the tenets of Methodism, financing the parish in a regular and proper as the Government, it was always clearly evident that a master hand was at the helm in the person of Edward Waters, the parish priest, and Eighth Episcopal District, and in fact from present indications, the entire Church, will be delighted to honor and reward by promotion to episcopal honors. Trust, intelligent, quick of perception, a reader of men, honest and upright, together with a natural adaptation to business and system, so badly needed in the church, will be carried to the bishopric qualities hard to be found all in one man. Elect him bishop, and whether it be in the South, North, East or West, on the diocese over which Lampon presides will not be found lacking in comparison, regardless of the angle from which it is viewed. If there are to be several elected, then elect Lampon, and one is to be elected then elect Lampon, and the Church shall achieve a distinct gain. Springfield Notes The vestry of the Third Baptist Church took on the aspect of a veritable dining hall last Friday evening when, through a series of events, Hughes the chorus of the church and those persons taking part in the recent cantata of "Hephtha and His Daughter" were given a banquet.

THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, APRIL 30C 190B A GREAT BOND SALE Pennsylvania's Rail Road Needs Will Add Themselves to Laborer-Condition of Copper Stocks. I know that he is a brave man who always to prognosticate the future, expect him to address the stock market. He who addresses himself task assumes the role of a prophet, and not infrequently he prophesies only to have his prophecies belfied by the cruel commander. Let it be clearly understood in the outcets, then, that I do not intend in this article to indulge in the ancient and honorable (?) business of prophecy. That is why I have written the art of divining the future. Rather it is my purpose to call attention to what I believe forsheadows a better market or stocks in general and for corporations. I refer to the successful marketing last week of the $40,000,000 Pennsylvania railroad consolidated mortgage 40-year per cent, bonds, one-half of which were kept in the country and the other half were sold abroad. It is a notorious fact that several of our great railroads are in, sole need of funds box for equipment and construction these funds for equipment and these funds through bond sales. Now that the Pennsylvania has met with such gratifying success in disposing of its bonds it is not unreasonable to suppose that other railroads that are in need of these funds can be able to raise it through the sale of bonds. Every successful bond sale means that large sums of money have been withdrawn from safe deposit vaults and other banks into circulation. This money, hitherto idle, will give employment to hundreds and thousands of laborers in steel mills, locomotive manufacturers, and other allied industries. That will mean increased profits and as practically all of the industries are stock corporations whose securities are bought and sold in Wall Street the stocks and bonds which represent those corporations are certain to respond to the demand for railroad and industrial stocks advanced. Now as to copper stocks. For many months a cloud of doubt and uncertainty has hung over the copper market like a ball, with the severity of depression, for if railroads are retracting, trolley lines are at a standstill, telephone and telegraph companies are not purchasing copper, and the branches of copper companies are closed or running on part time, it is not hard to see why copper should almost go a begging and the price of copper should be scraping along the bottom. In my opinion, however, copper has seen its worst. My opinion is based (1) on the great part which copper plays in the there being absolutely no substitute for it, and (2) on the accepted fact that the floating supply of copper is very small, the bulk of the quantity in store having been withdrawn. With the return of industrial activity, then, will come a demand for copper which can be supplied only by increased supply, will be preceded by great activity of the copper stocks. Yes, the advance in the copper stocks is coming, and when it comes it will be as sharp and decisive as was the decline. ROBERT W. TAYLOR PRESIDING ELDER AT TARRYTOWN.

Write for our Book on Facial treatment. Sent on application. WE refer with pride to our latest creation the SUPERIOR RAZOR STOP which is a consumated achievement of a tomonial genius, of twenty years trial, experimental and knowledge. The SUPERIOR RAZOR STOP practically marks a new era in American Razor Strop manufacturing. The method and equipment used in the manufacture of this Strop is the limit of human ingenuity. One of the most beneficial treatment is applied to this production, which is our secret chemical mixture. This mixture possesses spaces between the molecules and contacting the pores of the leather to the utmost at the same time killing every germ inhabited of the animal skin. After being carried (through our famous antiseptic process the closest grain possible is produced. Increasing knowledge and modern science have proven without doubt that closeness of grain produces the finest-tinging edge obtainable.

The New York Age Publishing Company. The Republican Nominee Practically all the leading papers in New York City concede that Secretary Taft will be nominated in Chicago. In fact, the press throughout the country has come to the point where it concedes his nomination. No one in the habit of judging public sentiment can fail to see that there is but one candidate being seriously considered before the country, and that is Secretary Taft. Many members of our race have made a strong fight against the Secretary for conscientious reasons; others have fought him because they were paid to do so. But in any case, the time has come when we should get together, throw aside personal differences and all begin making preparations to give the Republican candidate our best and undivided support. Every one with an ounce of sense knows that there is no hope in the Democratic party for the Negroes of this country. On the other hand, the very minute we fail to let the Republican party, feel that we are grateful to it for its service, that minute will the leaders of that party be tempted to throw us overboard as the Democrats have done. As Frederick Douglass said: "The Republican party is the ship—all else is the sea." It was true when Frederick Douglass uttered these memorable words; it is equally true to day. Ray Stannard Baker on Racial Dissensions In the May number of the American Magazine is an article by Mr. Ray Stannard Baker with which we agree in most of its conclusions. It is interesting and one worth reading. For the most part, however, we feel that Mr. Baker makes one great mistake, one that the average white American usually makes, and that is, he places too much emphasis and importance on the element of race division or discussion. The Afro-American race in this country is united. Considering that there are ten millions in number, we question whether there is any race with like numbers in the world so nearly united or so harmonious. True, there are elements in the race that dissent and make a good deal of noise from time to time, but they represent a very small fraction of the whittle race. People are often deceived by the noise that this small number makes. On all essentials the Negro is united in this country. He is as nearly united, as the Irish, the Italians or the Jews, and as he increases in experience and intelligence then he will become more united on all fundamentals of life. Nevertheless, Mr. Baker's article is worth careful study. Prepare for Three Great Meetings We remind our readers again that THE Age is making special preparations to report weekly the proceedings of the three great conferences which assemble in May—the African Methodist Episcopal General Conference at Philadelphia, the African Methodist Episcopal General Conference at Norfolk, and the Methodist Episcopal Conference at Baltimore. If you are not a subscriber for THE Age, make arrangements to subscribe or get your paper at once from the news dealer so you can keep abreast with the doings of these three great organizations. The conferences which meet in Norfolk and Philadelphia have an especial interest for every Negro in America. These are strong, influential organizations. Our strongest and best men in the nation will be present. Every Negro in the country wants to hear what the bishops have to say. They want to be kept informed of the decisions of these great religious bodies—which indicate the progress of the race as few organizations do. Many new bishops are to be elected. The redders of The Age will be kept informed as to the personnel of new bishops. They will also be kept informed as to the manner of electing them. For the most part, the candidates before the conferences for the office of bishop and general officers are strong, worthy men. Afro-Americana on Jurica In several decisions the United States Supreme Court and various State courts have made it clear that Negroes must not be discriminated against in the matter of serving on juries. We call this matter especially to the attention of our brethren, in the Southern, States, especially in the counties where Negroes are in the majority or constitute a considerable portion of the population. Where the interests of members of our 'race' are concerned, they should see to it that their lawyers agree to appeal the case if necessary to the United States Supreme Court in order that their rights may be protected. No court in any country is permitted under the law to sentence a Negro to prison, to the penitentiary or to be hanged without Negroes being on the jury if it is proven that discrimination has been practiced in the matter of selecting juries. This is a vital matter which would help our people much in the protection of their rights if they would give heed to it. Education of The Negro at the Recent Memphis Education Meeting About the only utterance of any importance made at the recent meeting of the Southern Education Board at Meinphis was by Bishop Bratton, of Mississippi. Without attempting to pass judgment on the value or the meaning of this speech, we publish it in full that our readers may examine it and form their own conclusions. We would, however, make this general observation upon this utterance since it is supposed to represent the opinion of one of the most advanced men of the South. Bishop Bratton, with all of his tendency toward liberality, shows how ignorant he is of the real progress and condition of the Afro-American. Even the most friendly white people in the South when they discuss the Negro are at a disadvantage because they are afraid to place themselves where they can see what the race is really achieving. And, besides, the bishop, like many other well meaning white people, seems to be afraid in this speech of really saying something that will be definite and outspoken. But, aside from the weak points referred to, it is an interesting and, strong, utterance which it would pay our readers to examine carefully for themselves. Is Liberian Independence Jeopardized? It is much to be regretted that Liberia has become so entangled, with Great Britain and that the latter has determined to send a high commission to the West African Republic for the purpose of better defining and re-adjusting the differences between the two countries. When Great Britain finds it necessary to send a high commission to a small creditor state the latter always gets the worst of the negotiations. Great Britain greatly desires to acquire Liberia, as she now owns all of the coast line territory eastward. We have been assured by reliable parties in Liberia that there is no danger that Liberia will lose its independence. We have our doubts about that? When a small state owes a large state and cannot make good the large state usually eats up the small state. Public Men and Neatness There is no earthly reason why our public men such as ministers, doctors, etc. should not present at all times a neat and cleanly appearance. Some of them are not only shabby but disgustingly sloven and unclean in their dress. Few things present a worse sight than to see a Negro minister with grease spots on his clothes, uncared for shoes, and dirty finger nails, and to 'set it all off, soiled cuffs, collars and shirt. No matter how poor the minister or doctor may be, he, above all public characters, should keep himself clean and presentable. It pays and will add dollars to his purse. With a little care and a little expense one can keep his garments clean and well pressed and his linen in presentable shape. The New York World There is no paper in the United States a stronger champion of the Negro's cause than the New York Morning World. Through its editorial columns it is always preaching fair play and equal opportunity for the Negro. Several days ago in New York City some white man, who is more to be pitied than censured, objected to being served in the same dining-room with Booker T. Washington. Just think! Some cheap white man who had managed to accumulate enough money to avoid patronizing the lunch counter, to which he was accustomed, objecting to eating in the same dining-room with one of the leading citizens of the United States! He was one of those poor creatures of whom no one had ever heard outside of his creditors, and the affair was so ludicrous that the World saw fit to write the following editorial: The "New York business man" who objected to being served in the same hotel dining-room with Booker T. Washington and Jack Kerouac in the same room, though his name is not widely known to fame. But it would be interesting to know the exact extent of the social contamination he suffered from the presence of the Southern college student. To what degree has he lost taste? The humbling of race prejudice has had no more conspicuous illustration than in the dining-room. Is the social atmosphere of such places of resort so rarified and exclusive? A list of citizens whose reputation as a racial socialite through an intimate dinner at the next table to Booker T. Washington, one of the nation's foremost creators and educators, in the free and easy environment of a hotel restaurant, would make elifying reading—New York World. Occupation for Young Men The vacation season is fast approaching. Many parents will be confronted with the as to what their sons THE NEW YORK AGB: THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1908. will do during this season. It is an important and far-reaching problem. Now is the time to begin to make preparations to give your son something to do that will interest and occupy him and at the same time let him be learning to start out on a business career for himself. Within a few weeks THE Age is planning to publish a symposium on the subject of occupation for Negro youths. Sensible Words from Bist op Dorrick The words used by Bishop Derrick in an interview in Washington after he had made a visit to the White House recently are sane and sober, and we heartily commend to our race what he has said. This is no time for flying off the handle and abusing white people indiscriminately. It is certainly no time to encourage our race to place themselves in an antagonistic attitude to the executive head of the nation. The American people will not tolerate with sympathy or with patience any set of people who continually abuse the President of their country. There ought to be harmony among Negroes even when they differ. The spirit of "you kill my dog, I'll kill your cat," should not be cultivated by this race of ours. Rather let it be—You help the race and I'll help you. The Indianapolis Freeman has joined the Taft crowd. Well, there is room for all, and The Freeman is simply doing what any sane Republican newspaper would do. Mr. S. Laing Williams, of Chicago, in addition to his former designation as Assistant District Attorney for Illinois, has recently been appointed to take charge of all matters' in connection with naturalization in Eastern Wisconsin and the State of Indiana. The Chicago Conservator has been made over anew under its reorganized management. It is a really up-to-date newspaper. We congratulate Dr. M. A. Majors and the management generally upon the improved appearance of the Conservator and upon the excellency of the matter in it each week. THE AGE is receiving nothing but compliments these days on its splendid issues. With the many compliments we would be pleased to receive some subscriptions. Every well-wisher of a great newspaper should rally to its support by sending a subscription. The Cleveland Journal is publishing a spicy paper these days. Judging from the absence of any disparaging statements either in its columns or those of The Gazette, we opine that the two have reached an agreement of "no combat." We note that the subject of Christian education for the Negro was discussed at the meeting in Memphis of the Southern Education Board. We fear that the discussion of Christian education on the part of a body that is not brave enough to invite Negroes to be present will not amount to much. Mr. Bryan, in his Cooper Union speech a few nights ago, made it plain that he did not want the Negro vote. He said the Southern white people were right in disfranchising the Negro, and placed himself strongly on the side of Tillman, Vardaman, Hoke Smith and the rest of them. Under the circumstances, there is nothing for any self-respecting Negro to do but stand by the Republican party and its nominee! We are glad to see that such strong leaders as Bishop Gaines and Bishop Derrick have taken their stand on the side of sanity. The Afro-American papers are standing by President Roosevelt nobly in his effort to secure equal accommodations for the races where separate accommodations are enforced by law. The press with no uncertain sound has expressed its gratitude to our President for the brave stand which he has taken in the matter. In every part of the country where there is discrimination, our people should write at once to the Interstate Commerce Commission in Washington describing their grievances and calling upon, the Interstate Commerce Commission for redress. CHOATE.FOR TAFT: 'STATE FOR HIM' Naya Nomination and Election of Taft Military Command as of Uttom Public Importance Joseph H. Chute, ex-Ambassador to Great Britain, and the leader of the New Republic of national prominence actively Mlly himself with the Taft organization of New York State, Mr. Hay, chairman of the executive committee of the Taft organization, accepting the vice-presidence of the Taft organization, "Should he be elected President we shall be sure of an administration of peace and law and order which will equally protect the rights of rich and poor, of capital and labor and of every sector of the economy." Mr. Chote concludes with the statement that he is certain Taft can carry New York State. WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY Hon. William H. Taft is a much stronger candidate for the Republican nomination to-day than he was a month ago—Galveston City Times. There is not one Ngro out of a hundred who prefer the Republican nominee such a friend as Taft and Roosevelt have been, no matter whose statement is to the contrary—Alabama American Citizen. Some of our men are saying that in event President Roosevelt or Taft are nominated for the Presidency that they are entitled to their vice president ticket. That is jumping out of the frying pan into the fire—Savannah Tribune. The thing to do is to see to it that the Negroes of this country are remembered in the national Republican platform. When once we are mentioned, see to it that the pledge is carried out. If you are a part of the party, demand what you want and stay in the old ship—Oklahoma Safeguard. The political sky is clearing in this locality, and while a number of people were inclined to hesitate on account of the unprecedented attitude of ex-Governor Bradley, everybody has become calm and tempered, and sensible thing to do is to send the embassy: this country for Taft,—Hopkinsville (Ky.) News. The meeting held in Philadelphia on the 7th of April does not seem to have resulted in the good it was expected it would. There were conflicting reports of the meeting and in consequence we did not desire to comment upon the same after we had read The Tribune and just after we had read The Tribune and we are just as much at sea as we are at first.—Newport News (Va.) Star. The Negroes of the country are for the Republican party, because it stands for the thoughtful element of the Negro race, demagogues, kickers and pig-suckers to arbitrary notwithstanding—Cleveland Journal. This man is the choice of the people of Kansas for President of the United States; his great achievements giving to the support of the American people. His father before him was an abolitionist, and a friend of the race. He comes from a family of whom he always been in sympathy with the Negro, and have demonstrated this sympathy by working for our people along. This paper takes the position that no mistake will be made by the support of him (meaning Secretary Taft) - Topke Plainleader. The action of the Republican convention in Lynchburg with regards to Negro Republicans goes to show that the time is at hand for the Negro to move in and to be involved in the political well-being, and that the plan to send delegates to the national convention at Chicago to assemble whether the national Republican Party is interested in the white, is proper, and whatever is to be done in this respect should be done at once - Hampton (Va.) Fishermen's Net. President Roosevelt has demanded equal accommodation for both races when traveling up railways and boat lines advocated by the unions advocated equal rights for our race. He is a true stateman with a moral character. He is a man of different are muscled by political prejudice and some day will realize their mistake. A top man can ask is an equal chance in the race of life. We should not expect any special flavor because we are shocked any more than the other man be shocked by the same race conditions and meet them mainly. Amid all the storm there is a class of colored people who are standing firm because they support Secretary Taft. It is not necessary to deprive one self by bashing and publishing vulgar slang about others who do not agree with us. Some of our citizens and clergy take great delight in the highest type will not stop to such indignities. The truth of all these things will come out it matters not what we say. President Roosevelt has made some changes in the way he has in more than one way upon occasions demonstrated his love for the colored men when it cost something to do it. He yet not disturbed, there is no support from Secretary Taft their entire support when the battle of the ballots is on—Urbane (otio) Informe. The results of the past ten days, in those States where delegates were selected to the Republican National Convention, places the nomination of Secretary Taft beyond the pale of possibility or even probability, and instead makes it an absolute certainty, or for confirmation this time, in the the Taft Matters where the Taft forces ruled the roost, and elected the majority of the delegates. For further confirmation we point to the delegates in favor of the returned secretary. For the most convincing confirmation we point to the fact that up to date the delegates in favor of the returned secretary have been instructed for Taft. No reader has to take the editorial opinion of any newspaper for confirmation of these statements. The news column, "The Fresman," Tafelman, says, "every day carrying the uglyadult results that point to his nomination on the first ballot."—Chicago Conservator. The Freeman is recognized as a national organ of the race and for the race, and as such its views and opinions, as editorially expressed, are not controlled nor prompted by local or state conditions, and are always depended upon to give expression to such views as it believes to be for the best interest of the race, without regard to city, county or State bottleneck relations to the Republican Presidential contest. The Freeman will give the news, unmindful of its advantageous or disadvantageous effect on any of the aspirants to the Republican Presidential contest, our admiration for our fellow-townman and State leader, the Hon. Charles W. Palrbanks, but we do not feel called upon to color our news in his interest, and we do not feel obliged to our news so as to appear against any of the other candidates. This because The New York Age 7 Chatham Square, New York City Enclosed find $_____. and I request that you send me THE NEW YORK AGE for this amount for_____months. Also send a sample copy to the following friends of mine: Yours truly, PLEASE CUT OUT THE ABOVE, FILL IN THE BLANK, AND SEND IT TO THE AGE AT ONCE. The Freeman is a national Negro newspaper. It is practically certain, at this writing, that Secretary Taft will be nominated by the Eastern and Western States, and with a good margin to spare. If this is accomplished the Southern delegates will not have that run for their money which some of them believed they would have. Already there have been 300 Taft delegates instructed elected, against a little over one-third of that number for all the of candidates nominated. With many of the Eastern States to elect, and which are morally certain to be carried by Taft, it may be set down as an absolute certainty that Mr. Taft will have fully 100 votes on the first ballot, and on the second nominate it will be seen that Secretary Taft will be nominated on the first ballot. This is not speculation. It is the cold fact substantiated by the list of delegates already selected and proposed for Taft. Say what we will, and differ as we may or will, it must be acknowledged that a candidate who can so far lead all the men in the field, and then that field is made in the field, should be called men as was ever presented to the Republican delegates to choose from, must have a hold on the American people. If it is Fait, and all signs point unquestionably to the voters in the role voters to assist in his elevation in office may share in the successes of the party. If we withhold our support, and a Republican is elected with the race arrayed against him, we cannot expect any concession, even if everyone else knows, we have absolutely nothing to expect of the Democrats, save bourbon—Washington Bee. Independence and courage are commendable qualities in men in every walk of life but those race leaders who claim to be Republicans who declare before the nomination that they will not support this or that candidate if he is nominated weaken their course in the interest of any candidate. They have a right to their convictions and preferences just as other Republicans have but they have no more authority than the nomination of any candidate that they lose of them and they are under as much obligation to support the nominee as are other Republicans if they make the contest in their favor. This is the only reasonable way, otherwise their wishes and preferences are not entitled to the serious consideration at the hands of the party of the party convention. We share in the so generally expressed among our people that it would be unwise to nominate Mr. Taft but we are not unwise to nominate Mr. Tillman, Halin and other pronounced enemies of the race to support Bryan or any other Democratic nominee for the nomination in preference to the nominee of the party convention in a few weeks are when every Democrat in Congress voted for Halin's bill to establish separate street cars in Washington and to nominate Bryan to vote for Bryan. We are not prepared to canvass race leaders against such rash expressions if they really mean to help a cause in every color man is deeply and seriously concerned - Louisville, American Baptist. The Union stands on this issue as it has stood on all issues affecting the rights of its people. It contends for right and justice and no less.—National Baptist Union. THE AGE seconds this, and if the Negro press would be as a unit in condemning wrong and cease abusing those who are endeavoring to obtain rights, many privileges now denied would be enforced. DEMOCRATIC TRICK EXPOSED Boston Republicans Wise to Eunomy's Game—Political and Social Calm Bostons April 28—There have been two marked facts in the greater Boston situation of the past week. A sudden calm has come over the political sea and the social restraint of Lent has given away to an unusually gay period of after-Easter festivities. What will be the duration of the calm or whether it is only the calm that precedes the storm, no man can say in this rare atmosphere, but that it is the calm that has followed one of the longest sustained and most spectacular political thunder shows happening in the parts, no man can deny, after the Christmas of the State and district delegate conventions, things are again subsiding to their normal state. The colored gentleman has been playing the game again beginning to hands. A very clever and well concealed trick by the Democrats, called Brownville, which has taken in "many good Republicans," has just been exposed. The Democratic "mative sheet" editor is now preparing to jump with his supposed Republican proteges into the Democrat, Mr. E. B. Brown, another Democrat, Mr. E. B. Brown, another Democrat, the last Democratic municipal administration, and who has been in the forefront of the "Republicans" who have been denouncing the administration before the election, Mr. E. B. Brown, the last issue of the black Democratic organ as vice-president of the National Negro Democratic League, and announces the League's plans to corral the black states. But these Democratic Negroes have been reckoning without their guests. Those "taken in" Republicans are now "wise" to their game. In the last few weeks scores of them whose names might appear in the news and are coming around all right, and by the appointed time for the jump to the Democrats, the number of local Republicans of consequence who are running for the Democratic masters I venture to say may be greater on the fingers of one hand. A powerful and popular colored preacher, whose name the Democratic organ has been bred with his exspired wishes, now resists with his purchase to do anything whatsoever to do with any movement with which these Democrats are associated. With the great mass of his people he is for his purpose of the Republican office in Chicago. The Democrats have exposed their game too early. Republican League Election.

His wife inquired how she could the lady, "I should say—"very slowly—"she is a person having great sympathy with success."—New England Magazine. ALARAMA MEDICAL MEN Most in Twelfth Annual Session—Ad dress and Clide of Dr. G. C. Hall. Montgomery, Ala., "Apr. 18. —The twelfth annual session of the Alabama Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association convened in this city on the 18th, 18th, 16th and 17th and closed last most profitable and inter- serving session. Each day following regular morning and evening sessions were held, at which able and eloquent papers were read by the listing and eloquent papers discussed evidenced a thorough knowledge of the same. Possibly the most interesting paper read before this distinguished body was the one on "The Relation of the Anesthetist for the Surgeon", bj23 J.Do. A. Kenny, of the University of Michigan Normal and Industrial Institute. The various other papers were exceedingly interesting, dwelling upon such a wide range of subjects as phobia fever, its gripe, etc. The former subject, however, was the most generally discussed, and associated with a classification paid unusual attention, but the medical profession the country over is doing yeomen lasting service, systematic fight against the White The feature of the meeting came with the incidents of the discussion of this disease, when Dr. G, C. Hall, the consultant physician, visited the patient's peacefulness. He was the only invited speaker upon the program from a distant State. In his speech on tuberculosis he dealt principally with the numerous cases of the dreadful malady, Dr. Hall said, among other things, that tuberculosis is one of the most dangerous and most dreadful disease known to man. For years it has been a source of anxiety and happiness. In Chicago, Boston, New York and other Northern and Southern cities a great crusade is now going on against spread. Great attention has been paid to hygiene surroundings and in many instances the authorities have been highly successful along this line of treatment. But it is indeed a sad fact that so many cities are still suffering from tuberculosis. Some think the disease is inherited. But it is not. Some people, however, inherit a predisposition to the disease, and it is not about the breathing, the night air, "What other air is there in the day the air is gone?" asked the doctor. In his concluding remarks Dr. Hall had the assistance of a more united effort in the great battle against consumption. Thursday afternoon the doctor conducted a clinic leaving for Chicago, via Union Wilson Ala. wife of Dr. Willingham, that city. Besides being one of the leading surgeons of America, Dr. Hall is also a member of the surgical staff of the Hospital of Chicago, one of the leading institutions of its kind in the world.

MISSISSIPPI PROGRESS Giant Strides Made by Race—2217 Merchants—SB Doctors—10 Hanks—Schoola. JACKSON, Miss., April 18—Rev. L. W. Manaway, of this city, has recently gathered some valuable statistics regarding the condition and progress of the Afro-Americans in Mississippi. He has published a book on the condition of the State of Mississippi, engaged in actual business, 2,217 Negro merchants, all owning stores and some of them owning stores of considerable capital stock. In addition to these large Negro merchant concessions, besides many smaller ones. In addition to these regular merchandising concessions, there are 18 drug stores in the State owned by Negro merchants. These drugstores bind the prescription counter. These drugstores are all licensed by the State Board of Pharmaceutical Examiners. Negroes are also numerous in other trades. At the barber trade, but since the advent of the white barber's union into the city the Negro has been pushed out entirely and there is now no such thing in Jack's shop for white men, although a few years since the case was exactly the reverse. In the professions there are 23 practicing Negro physicians, and those, it must be noted, are members of the Board of Health, which is extremely attic and expressly so in regard to Negro applicants, there are 13 Negro lawyers and contractors, engaged in contracting work. Perhaps the most remarkable fact in connection with the progress of the Negro in Mississippi is the establishment in 10 Mississippi banks a sound financial basis, in less than three of these 10 banks have a combined capital of $210,000. The Penny Savings Bank at Vicksburg and the Yazoo Penny Bank at Vicksburg have a capital of $55,000. The Southern Bank has a capital of $20,000. The Lincoln Savings Bank, at Vicksburg, and the Bank of Bound Bayon have a capital of $25,000 each. The American Trust and Savings Bank have a capital of $20,000, and the other four, the Union Savings Bank, Natchez; Penny Savings Bank, Columbia, and Knights of Honor Savings Bank, Greenville, have a capital each. It will be noted that nearly all of these institutions are savings banks. There are 22 Negro business leagues in operation in the state, the object of which is to promote the education and acquisition of property among the Negroes. The far-sacring members of the leagues are recruited from the unemployed the life, shiftless Negro who does not want to work and has nothing. Wherever a good citizen and law abiding Besides the free public schools throughout the state there are Negro high schools and colleges, etc. The list consists of: Baptist College, at Natches; Kozusinko Industrial College, Mound Bay Institute- Mammouth Industrial School, Winona College, at Winona Academy, Academy, Reformers' Industrial School; Greenwood; Gloster Industrial Baptist College, Florence Industrial School at Holly Springs; Industrial School, at Holly Springs Alcoa Agricultural and Mechanical College, Utica Industrial Mechanical School; Rust University, Holly Springs Meridian Academy, at Meridian; em, at Meridian; Baptist College at Jackson; Kozusinko Central College, Southern Christian Industrial School, Mollie Holly Springs West Point, and the Mississippi Industrial High School, at Crystal Springs. DR. WASHINGTON TALKS TO STUDENTS Girls Boys at DeWitt Clinton High School an Interesting Half Hour. At the DeWitt Clinton Boys' High School, Manhattan, Friday morning 1:000 interested and enthusiastic students heard Dr. Booker T. Washington give a 30-minute talk that fairly bristled with wit, humor and sound advice. It was an inspiring sight to see the bright faces and to hear their voices ring out in the songs of the morning exercises. The exercises opened with Scripture reading: followed by an instrumental selection, a march, composed by one of the students, played by the band. The music was received with profound applause. In introducing Dr. Washington Principal John T. Buchanan said to the students, "I would advise every American boy to read two books, one, The Making of the American Dream, and the other, Up from Slavery by Booker T. Washington. The first of these gives the story of a man who came to this country 20 or 25 years ago and made his way absolutely unminded; the second of these books gives the story of a man who came to the position as one of the three, four or five greatest educators of this country. Last year," continued Mr. Buchanan, "who had Mr. Riis as a speaker, this morning, parlon me for saying, I gave you a great introduction Dr. Buchanan." Dr. Washington told of his life work in an interesting manner, saying he was born a slave on a plantation in Virginia in 1750. He grew up in a small bay he remember being called by his mother, who with his father and other slaves, were assembled in the presence of the owner of the plantation and writing his name on the slave free tree. He was soon taken to West Virginia where he worked in the mines. One day he overheard two miners speaking of a school in Virginia which in industry described the events from that day until he became a student in this school, which was Hampton University. How he had walked the greater portion of the distance in a helix in the sidewalk in Richmond. He told of his college entrance examination, which consisted of his sweeping a room. He swept it three times, and he swept it four, removing particles of dirt. His remarks about the beginning of Tuskegee Institute were particularly interesting, how as a teacher of brickmaking he taught the children his thirty pupils, he attempted to build a kiln which fell down three times before completed. After the third failure he went to Montgomery, pawned his watch for twenty dollars, and then a kiln which was successfully finished. During the past season at Tuskegee thirty students manufactured 2,000,000 bricks. The Institute has grown from a school to a hostel for students with 150 with helpers and helpers in various capacities. It covers 200 acres of ground and has 50 buildings, started from a little shanty, representing $2,000,000 worth of property. The institute has 50 buildings, teaching every day and girl that it is just as honourable to work with the hands as with the head.

But it is she's consensus of opinion among the best colored people of Little Rock that her lecture was upheld in every way and very encouragement in the possibility of the Negro in the possibility of the race must not despair. The lecture was delivered at Philadelphia Smith College, and the spacious chapel was the host with the best of the news. After the lecture, she was entertained in the chapel and dining room of the Arkansas Baptist College. Mr. Charlene Cannonon White was brought to the city at the instance of Mr. Mark Young. Among the auspices of Mr. White, the Republican convention of the M. W. Gibbs Invalid House of White was backed up by some of the best beat talent in music and objection. Miss Beatrice Smith being the accomplished artist for occasion Mr. White played her in the audience. Mr. White said that the crowd people of Little Rock have ever given one of their own artists. He and his violin were fast mates and still hold a precious play in the hearts of the crowd. The readers of Turt.

Friends to Judge Taft and their name is legend already, are站ed over the recent step taken by the President of the United States bespeaking the railways and throughout the South. It is believed that he has investigated the manner of treatment which colored passengers are getting, and to prosecute those roads that are guilty of discriminating against the race, will do back into line with the G.O. To fortunate Brownville affair has done to swing them the other way. The Negro race is not a race of incrusts and could hardly be guilty of citing its eyes against the top of swiping protection and blind justice which the President has recently taken. H. O.

It represents the parable of the Bible, "The wise and the foolish virgin," and its composition, "very simple in its arrangement and even in its details," parable means that men should be ready to meet the judgment of God and that those who have been imprudent enough not prepare for it will be excluded from the bridegroom from the bridegroom went to the bride's house when the evening came, to bring her to his own house, where the wedding feast awaited them.

Apply Janitor on Premises 499-838 --- New musical and dramatic talent was discovered Tuesday evening in Brooklyn. The writer is at loss for words when it comes to telling about the recent musical and dramatic "finds," which discovery should rank almost in importance with that made some years ago by Mr. Christopher Columbus. "Sweet charity" was mainly responsible for bringing before the public people who had never been guilty of even singing a short chorus in the presence of a second party without an emphatic protest on the part of the listener; people who had been told that they had better give their time and attention to settlement work for they did not show the least sign of possessing dramatic ability—and never would. And yet several of these persons classed in the "you'll never do" category appeared at Saengerbund Hall, Brooklyn, Tuesday night, and made good. Of course, some made good with a capita with which they had good with a question mark behind the word "good"—yet all showed they had some kind of talent. For instance, one young man in singing (with apologies for use of word), unconsciously gave an imitation of a phonograph that could be hardly excelled. A young lady, while warbling, gave an exhibition of Genee and Tanguy (can you imagine such a combination for grace) (this is no pun) that she gave above-mentioned performers to shame. It was the seventeenth annual entertainment of the Willing Workers' Circle, in which they presented the Bedford, Songsters in "a novel minstrel show," to use the exact words on the program. From New York City and adjoining towns they came to witness the performance and the hall was crowded. Part first consisted of a minstrel first part. The program declared the occasion to be a garden party of the Dell Society, with Mr. Geo, W. Hamilton as "Mr. Lis-en-tu-m" was interlocutor and was, of course, called on to do a large share of the work, which he did without a hitch. Mr. John E. Nail was one of the end men. When things became dull he did the "ad lib" stunt, amusing those around him as much as those in the audience. Mr. William Moten was the other end man. Miss Grace Nail and Miss Alice E. Braxton were tambos. Although Miss Nail as "Tantique Freechart" did not sing expected, she made up in talk. If she is wise she will go in vauilleau in a monologue—but, not on "get the hook night." In the circle were Misses L. Sheldon Smith, Amanda Kemp, Harriet Merrill, Edna Jones, Edith A. Braxton, Sara Potte, Marine Wayne, Medneses E. Z. Attwell and Louise Burleigh, Messers, Chester R. Moore, Erskine S. Bell, Frank Bayne, F. F. Proctor, Jr., T. Wendell Braxton, Harry Brown, J. Royal Rutledge, Montrose Lewis, R. Collins and A. Grover. The picknickers, as they were, were lifted up to their reputation as the "Batford" or to be correct, "Bedford singers." The minstrel first part was opened with an overture by Craig's Orchestra. Then the entire company chirped "Swine Along" in mournful tones, followed by the singing of "Sugar' Babe" by Jr. Chester R. Moore assisted by Miss Harriet Merrill. Miss Matilda Nes, another candidate for vaudeville as a monologist, gave a smoked, dissertation on "What Is Woman?" which did not serve to help the men folks any on such a complex question. Miss Amanda Kemp next performed by singing "Everbody Knows I'm Crazy 'Bout You.' She evidently pleased the audience for she was encored. An instrumental duet was next in order in which Mr. Frank Bayne and Mr. Wm. Moten played "Maori" on mandolins. Aida Overton Walker should have been present for the following number. She would have heard a new version of its Hard to Love Somebody, version 2, Marii and she made the "Bandanna Land" favorite look like 15 cents—and counterfeit money at that. But it was No. 8 on the program that caused the writer to sit up and take notice. Jack Nail went to see "Bandanna Land" so much when the show was on Broadway that he has learned to imitate Bert. Williams. In fact his singing of "Late Hours" was not "to be laughed at" and he would have overly made good had he not become a momentary victim of stage fright because of the hearty applause he received. For a second he thought he was trying to summate deal with forgiving his mother, but he quickly returned to terra firma. According to Internal Revenue Collector Charles Anderson "Sam Hot Air" aspires to be an understudy to Bert Williams: some day. Mrs. L. Sheldon Smith was not bad in her song, "Red, Red Rose." She has a fair voice and should learn how to use it. According to Abbie Mitchell-Cook, who was present, she has heard "Red, Red Rose" sung to less advantage. This number closed the first part of the program. The second part opened with a solo by Miss Edna Jones entitled "Kiss Me Right." She sang very well, but what is a mystery to how Miss Jones was given permission to sing other than songs too often, the teacher hoped it won't result seriously Miss Harriet Merrill is a young lady who should develop her dramatic talent. She appeared, minus cork, in a little skit all one. While it was a little, long it gave her an opportunity to show what she could do under proper study. The writer knows that Harry Burleigh never bothered to sing songs, but Mr. L. Burleigh tried herself as a "coon shouter" when she sang "I've Got Good Common Sense." As a matter of fact her rendition was above the ordinary. However, someone near me remarked when she was dancing that her feet hurt her. Of course we won't touch that—it's a live wire. The oloi closed with the singing of "Only a Man in Gray" by Mrs. L. Sheldon Smith and chorus. Right here the management should have ended the evening's entertainment, but Mr. L. Burleigh after-piece entitled "Ill Treated Trovatore." There will be no disagreement on that score. A young lady near the writer called it a "mess"—a much better name. Not possessing sufficient gray matter to explain clearly what it was all about the writer must refrain from dwelling any longer on the subject. Taking it all in all the minstrel show was a creditable performance. Mr. J. Howard Braxton should be congratulated on his successful management of the entertainment and Mr. Will Dixon delivers praise for his work as musical director. One can't regard an amateur performance in a critical and serious vein. It would be unfair. Yet most of our stars first find encouragement by appearing in just such an affair as the one he did, who have become encouraged by a night's performance keep up the good work and profit by their initial appearance. Foundation of New Negro Theatre at New Orleans Finished. NEW ORLEANS, April 29. The foundation of what will be the finest Negro theatre in America was completed in 1880 and has already been started. The theatre will be ready for occupancy by fall. L. W. Green, promoter of the building, has returned from Chicago to charge the Knights of Pythias to succeed the late Chancellor Starks. As Mr. Green is interested in Negro theatricals, it is probable that the Order will lersect a number of fine built theatres where in which will be installed theatres. Negroes Must Give Duhair Theatre Better Support or It Will Close. COLUMBUS, O., April 29.—There is a possibility of the Dunbar Theatre closing its doors shortly. In fact, it might beColumbus don't patronize the pretty little theatre much better than they been doing late. The recent opening of the playhouse was auspicious. During the first week of its formal opening the company played to capacity and all indications pointed to the Dunbar Theatre becoming a fixture Columbus. For several days, however, the attendance has not been up to expectation. The absence of Negro citizens from the theatre, somewhat discouraging to Proprietor Samuel Clark, as well as Manager W. H. Smith. With the large Negro population of which he was taking in consideration that nine-tenths of them are theatregoers, it would be nothing to their credit to allow the Dunbar Theatre to close.

NEW ORLEANS, April 29—Every theatre in town has closed for the theatrical season of 1907-S, including the Elysian Theatre, the Lincoln Theatre, which has opened for the summer, is in full bloom, and business is very good. Manager Peyton is working the Henderson and Mason Company the first week and the Kenner and Lewis Company does the entertaining the latter part. There is a friendly rivalry between the two companies, and it is difficult to determine which is the more prominent. Lew Kenner put on his new musical success, "King Bugalosa," this week and it was well received. Several musical and literary entertainments are being given by the colored Y. M. C. A. with a view to raising money to build a new home. Last week the Miley College Quarterly concert, which proved an artistic and a financial success, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, of Washington, D. C., lectured before a large audience April 24, for the benefit of the auditors with her inducement to struggle hard to overcome seeming obstacles. Everybody Happy at Chicago. CHICAGO. April 2 9:30- So pleased is Robert Motts with the success of the *Follys of 1908* that he has made in the past year, still impressing identically the attraction at the Pekin Theatre. Business is much improved at the popular little South Side theatre, and everybody is happy. The "Follys of 1908" is said to be without a plot—at least "Klaw-Erlander Robert Motts" thinks so. The *Follys of 1908* covers the semblance of one throughout the entire production.

"Art Knows No Color Line," Says Brooklyn Eagle. Williams and Walker have received many a complimentary press notice since they have been stars in musical comedy, but it is doubted if they ever received a more flattering or sincere review as was accorded them last week by the Brooklyn Eagle. The article is unique in many respects, and coming from such representative writers, we are prepared for the belief the readers of The Eagle interested in the theatricals should see it. According to the Brooklyn Eagle "art knows no color fine." Williams and Williams are responsible for the paper making such a broad yet true assertion, it should be of interest to every Negro performer, for it teeds to show that the white writers are beginning to lose sight of when real art is evidenced. The artist with all due respect to that eleven comedienne Marie Cahill, and to that wonderful little whirlwind Elise Danis, who is the most famous week is that of Williams and Walker in "Bandanna Land" at the Majestic. These clever artists play at a popular price and are known for their art known for not knowing no color line and it is simple justice to say that our stage has no white comedian so good as Bert Williams, but any singing sounded like the grace of a touch of Galileo eloquence to the work of Aida Overton Walker. George Walker, not any singing sound, but the same entertaining dandy laughs that has been since the "team" became known in vaudeville, a most amusing poseur and graceful dancer. But he is essentially a comedian on our musical stage, while his two chief associates are artists of such fine creative talent and such finish and distinction of art that he is judged upon its merits without regard to prices of admission or any color line. On their merits those actors stand in the very forefront of the American stage in the forefront, lines—if not all alone in the forefront. Watermelon Trust Making Good on 18th Street Theatre. At Keith and Proctor's 125th Street Theatre this week the Watermelon Trust is appearing with great success. The act is one of the hits of the bill.

During the past winter a valuable opportunity was offered to colored young men of New York City through the Civil Service School which was conducted at the Colored Republican Club in West Side street.

Much satisfaction and benefit was enjoyed on the part of both instructors and students re- serving through the course. New York City is filled with young colored men of character and ability who ought to avail themselves of such opportunities for self-improvement. Many of these last winter, and others will take the one for the customers service to be held next month. It is reasonable to sup- pose that some of these men will pass their final examinations.

Were it better supported in numbers and otherwise it could accomplish more, protecting our people in matters civic and political. It was with ends in view that the school was started. Next fall the work will be continued. We are going to be prepared especially for the internal revenue examinations which will come off. These examinations are seldom held, about once in two years; the positions and salaries are attractions, and it behooves our young students to have a few nights of pleasure and get aboard.

"No," responded the bride, "to the Wink- THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1908 Supervising Principal Denied Colored Schools Position Taken by School Board Absolutely Ridiculous-Five Reception of the Baltimore Assembly-Church and Personal Notes. BALTIMORE, April 25—At a meeting of our School Board last week the proposition to have the colored school divided into two groups, each to have a colored supervising principal, was turned down by a vote of six to three. It is surprising that the principal local weekly colored newspaper has no editorial comment to make in its issue of the present week. The excuse that was given, and printed in the daily papers, was to the effect that Negroes were incompetent for such work. The position taken by the Board is absolutely intentional to be more made in educational principals vation from ordinary principals wherein they demonstrated such fitness and capacity as would justify warrant such promotion. Now taking this as a reason for the least two or three men of color in the service who would be willing to be tested by acknowledged "experta" on the subject. But, there is a concrete and direct contradiction to the plan of incompetency, in which the point is that, Waring, personally, yet the undeniable fact remains that he has performed the work of a supervising principal, in connection with his duties at the High School most acceptably. There is no doubt that, in his point, the is his continuance in such position for a long while, against his will, to be explained. It is rather a reflection upon us here, with three or more graduates from Harvard, in the city, for some years back to be told that Negro educators are incompetent for such work. The same thing was said with respect to teaching in the ordinary schools. But within 10 years the very same situation has disappeared. We ought to ask for a hearing before the Board on that point. One of the most brilliant social affairs given in this city in recent years was the reception and dance last Friday night at aazarite Hall of the Birmingham University, a national institution in this city. The Assembly includes in its membership many of those prominent in business and professional life and the ladies of their families. Music was furnished by Gearna's orchestra and the ladies of the hotel buffet. The out-of-the-way guests included Mrs Alice Mitchell, York Pa.; Mrs Pope, Atlanta, Ga.; Miss Mabel Bott, Chicago, Ill.; Mrs Kate Butler, Anapolis, Md.; Mr. J. Max Barber, of Chicago, Ill.; Mon. A. Grimkin, of Chicago, Ill.; Mrs A. Fawney, of Chicago, Ill.; Mrs John R. Francis, Miss Carrie Loe, Mrs Page, Messrs. Marshall Montgomery and Joseph Hopson, all of Washington, D. C. The officers of the assembly are: Mr. J. Bishop, president; Mr. John Masterson, president; Mr. J. Clarence Chambers, secretary, and Mr. James W. Hurges, treasurer. Last Saturday evening Mr. and Mrs. William A. Fisher gave a most delightful "at home in honor of Miss Evangeline Hoyle, Miss of the city, Mrs. Ibey Illa, of this city, Mrs. Waring, of Pittsburg, Pa., the mother of Dr. J. H. N. Waring, principal of our High School, is in the city on a visit to her son and his family, Mrs. Lewis, of Compton, who is visiting her daughter, Miss Lewis, who is a teacher in the High School, Mrs. Virgin Calloway, of Washington, D. C. has been in the city visiting friends. She is guest of her relatives, Mrs. Solomon DeCoursey, of 132 Richmond street. St. James Church St. James' Episcopal Church is experiencing a vigorous and steady growth. The Easter services were especially grand and inspiring, and among those who work at the church, Mrs. Bester was Mrs. W. Cabbell Bruce, the wife of the city solicitor, Mrs. Bruce had the pulpit at St. James' greatly beautified at her expense. She has the very highest regard for Rev. Dr. Brang, the Church is the only parish of colored Episcopalians in the State of Maryland. Mr. Solomon DeCourney has just been elected by the reverty of the church to represent the parish in the diocese of Cincinnati. Mrs. Bishop Paret has asked for the election of a bishop-conductor in connection with this convention, and the two votes from St. James will constitute the only Afro-American connection with that elector. Emerson has been elected alternate delegate. The Maryland Home for Friendless Colored Children has recently been remembered. The late Mrs. Anna King Carry, a most estimable woman, hashered a special fondness for the work among neglected Negro children, departed this life quite recently, and among other bequests the sum of $1,000 was left to the amnesiac and the blind, whom 20 and 40 children in this worthy institution. We are informed that the money will be used in the liquidation of a debt now resting upon the Home, amounting to a little less than the amount being raised. Bars of money are particularly pleased, as well as the many friends of the institution. The Rev. W. Edward Williams, the new pastor of the Home for Easter Sunday for the first time, Large crowds were out, on both occasions to greet the new pastor, and much satisfaction and delight were expressed. From West Chester, Pa. but he is from being a stranger in these parts. Several years ago he was the general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. here and is well and favorably known by a host of the older life to live. Bishop Derrick was in the city last week on a visit to the venerable Bishop James A. Handy, who has been detained at his residence for a long time. The people of all colors and conditions have an abiding affection for the dear old Bishop, who is an "old Marylander" who come up with such men as the late Frederick Doughlas and Alexandra Church, greatly indebted to this faithful old pioneer, who was one of the first men to go South after the Civil War with the late Bishop Alexander Payne and lay the foundations for that church. Bishop Derrick is really a legible character. Quite a number of African Methodist ministers and lawmen will leave this present week for Norfolk, Va., where they are among those who will attend are: Rev. Dra Haurt, J. T. Jeaffer, A. L. Gainae, C.
