"LILY-WHITEISM" RAMPANT IN LOUISIANA "No Negro Delegate for Chicago Convention," Says Hon. F. B. Williams of State Republican Committee WILL REPUBLICAN PARTY STAND FOR THIS? Readers of the Age in Louisiana Are Wondering if Secretary Taft and His Managers will Stand for the Tactics the "Lily-White" Republicans Are Resorting to to Eliminate the Negro. BISHOP L. J. COPPIN VOL. XXI. No. 33 "LILY-WHITEIS "No Negro Delegate for Hon. F. B. Williams WILL REPUBLICAN PAR Readers of the Age in Louisiana and His Managers will Stand Republicans Are Resorting to NEW ORLEANS, La., May 18.—This is the land where the "lily white" in all his glory shines, struts and has his being. This is the land where certain white politicians, who claim to be Republicans, are seeking to make the G. O. P. a "Junt Crow" party, and an avowed enemy to the Negro voters. "Eliminate the Negro from politics in the shibboleth of these 'Hilly whites.' They have publicly announced their intention of having Louisiana represented at the Chicago Convention with a solid white delegation. 'There must not be a black face in the delegation,' they are crying. Furthermore, they are committed enough to believe that the Republican Convention at Chicago will set a 'Hilly white' delegation and turn this case for criticism from the Negro voters through out the country. The New Orleans newspapers have lately had much to say about him. Your correspondent will submit no particular comments of his own, but most will send some extracts from the New Orleans newspapers hearing upon this new departure. For instance, the New Orleans Presswoman under date of April 18 in reporting a racial white attacking her. and continues. "No Negro delegate will go with us to the Chicago National Convention," declared Hon. Frank R. Williams, chairman of the State Republican Committee, last night, in reply to the statement of Walter Cohen, one of the Black and Tan rublican leaders, who asserted during the day that "Mr. Pharr will either have to go with a Negro to the Chicago Convention or stay at home. "We will not, we will not accept partial recognition, we will not accept a partial vote," asserted Mr. Pharr. "Mr. Pharr will have his cloak of two things: insisted Cohen, in reply to the "lily whites," "He will either go to that convention with Felix Berkel, a colored man, who will be chosen a delegate to the Chicago Convention from the First Congressional District, or he will stay at home." In the same report from the Plaume appears the following showing that William, a dysed in the wood "filly white," is the recognized head of the party, that is, the "filly white" party, in this State. Chairman William, the recognized head of the Republican party in Louisiana in point of authority, also denied in most emphatic terms the statement of Colonel James Lewis that United States office-holders will be barred from serving as commissioners and clerks of election at the polls. "Of course they are going to serve wherever selected," asserted Mr. Williams, in no uncertain terms. "That is some more Black and Tian thunder. There is no law prescribing office-holders from serving as commissioners of election, and ours will serve where selected." The report in the New Orleans Times Democrat, April 15, was even more emphatic as showing the trend of the party under "filly white" dark faces, and was in part as follows: Upon a shield bearing the inscription, "Henry N. Plare, Our New Government, and on a stage displayed with American flags, Pearl Wright, present national committee, appointed by Hon. G. B. Cor then, when national chairman, oper at the meeting at the Athens and at as permanent chairman, wille G. Puchs opened the ordinary proceedings, and introduced E. R. Tennant as chairman. Although largely occupied by the study of the previous evening, Mr. Pharr has night took up this task with all had been raised during the day and with most emphasis in the afternoon on his position in regard to Negro representation at the Colonial Convention. At first it was to take the effect that the senate would leaders were not in the house and refusal to sit in the house would deny Negro delegation to the Convention. Mr. Pharr said: "There is Mr. William in the form. Ask him to day and be with him to-day and be with side you." In regard to an inquiry into former Governor William Mr. Pharr, in which he presented an interesting attitude on the Negro question, THE NEW YORK TIMES As far as I can remember I have never had a letter from Gov. Warmoth in my life, and further, if Gov. Warmoth, or any other Republican, tries to send a Negro to Chicago I will denounce him publicly from the stump. This is RISHOP II. P. 1 my answer to Mr. Sanders." Emily's referring to a statement from Wallace Golden that Federal officers were prohibited from serving as election officers in his state. "I have no more attention to the vaporization of Golden that I do to any other New York politician, and I warn Golden that he has not been convicted of his own business and is not a Republican party member." Concluding her statement, "Vaporization is what said." "I am not aware of the world Republican movement, but look back now. We have seen that we have been only one Republican Congressman. That convention, which was held in Reno in 1959, when it would not press our good efforts, we could have." Therefore, the Republican are responsible for the elimination of the negro from politics, and we are working for his still further elimination." In this follow Pearl's quote from Wallace Golden's statement: The leaders of the Party will not send a Negro to Chicago, and Mr. Williams, he said, told him to-day he will stand behind Mr. Pharr in everything he does. --- --- Mr. Pharr answerd : We answer in Mr. Sanders." "Chicago I will denounce him from the stump." The disposition of these salutty "illy white" Republicans is pretty accurately shown in the above clipping. Our friends, white Republicans and black Republicans, North and South, should make up their minds and demand the exclusion from the Chicago Convention, at least of this raw brand of Republicanism. The statements here submitted are quoted as per the clipping directly from the two responsible daily newspapers of the city and have not been denied, or excused. Your correspondent is aware that THE Age is supporting Secretary Taft for the Presidency. The readers of THE Age in this section of the country are wondering if Mr. Taft and his managers are favorable to the "illy white" tactics the white politicians are resorting to in Louisiana with a view to keeping the Negro voter in the background.

Chicago; May 11:—Politics is so all-pervasive nowadays that your correspondent, though "but a woman," can scarcely retain from telling the readers of The Age just what is going on politically in Chicago. In the first place there is, seen and heard less and less of the indignation differences of a few weeks ago against the Republican party in general and President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft in particular. Indignation is a pretty tidy thing to keep up all the time. Reaction is sure to set in society or later among people who have any capacity to reason and think. Many of our leaders were a few weeks ago were quite sure in their then state of mind that, under no circumstances, would they support Secretary Taft, have now so far ignored that they are quite saying, "We all the Secretary is indicted, or course I will not for his election." It is scarcely fair to these increasing converts to say that it is a "wagering convention" for the majority of these people after the Republican T.

As one passes from the city out into the rural districts of Illinois there will be found many interesting instances of prosperous, well-to-do colored men who are the owners of large and well cultivated farms. A specific illustration may be cited in the Waters family in Dewitt County, known as part of the famous "corn belt" of Illinois. The Waters family have lived in this county during the past fifty or sixty years. The head of the family, the late John Waters, died in the city of Clinton, the county seat of Dewitt County, about seven years ago. The present survivors are: The widow, Harriet Waters, the sons George W. Frank and Thomas and a daughter, Mrs. Chas. E. Hall, of Washington, D. C. The Waters family is a fine type of whatever is best and most progressive in our rural population. They cultivate from 160 to 200 acres of land and are highly esteemed by the entire community. Besides the ownership of land they own some of the best business property in the city of Clinton, all of which is rented to white business men. The Waters family is always included when the best people of the community are spoken of. Mrs. Waters is a fine type of the county. BISHOP J.

E. N. McDaniels—Great Good Accomplished. SUMMER, N. J., May 5. The services of the Mountain Baptist Church were held annually on last Sunday as the church was celebrating the third anniversary of the pastorate of Rev. E. N. McDaniels whose work and doodles speak for themselves within these years. This celebration accomplished more in the past three years than it had in the 12 previous years of its existence and what Rev. McDaniels has done can be done by a person who would lead the people right. The Sunday school, under the management of Mrs. E. N. McDaniels and the Christian Endeavor under the management of Miss V. A. Johnson have achieved wonderful progress. The preacher for the anniversary were Rev. Bobby Jones and Rodd of Madison, N. J. The church was handsomely decorated by a collection of babies, Miss V.

Church is composed of very eminent church dignitaries, all of whom are distinguished in some field of theological or literary effort. In addition to the above there are Bishops B. T. Tamer, a well-known author: E. Tyre, C. T. Shaffer, M. B. Sattlers and L. J. Coppin. The General Officers. Rev. Drs. H. B. Parks, E. W. Lampton, Chippele, Heard, H. T. Johnson, Kealing, J. R. Hawkins, together with a host of other distinguished ministers are here to lend the aid of their ability to the proceedings of this great gathering. The Opening of Conference. At 9.30 a.m. the delegates, numbering nearly 150, headed by the bishops, invited into St. John Church, where the opening devotional service was impressively conducted by the bishops, at the house of which Bishop E. Tyre, of Tennessee, delivered the quadratic earmen, his subject being "The Choice and Purpose of the Ministry." The effort was a magnificent one and held the great audience spell-bound. The following paragraph will illustrate the spirit of the discourse: The army of ministers are to promulgate the truths which are to revolutionize the entire order of administration in the church, because the Christian era is to be one of aggressiveness as well as progressiveness. The citadels of view are to be sought out and entered, in spite of opposition, and all manner of sin, whether in high places or low places, is to be exposed and routed by the gospel minister through the grace of the Almighty. The Child of the Manager must be introduced to the world who know him not. And life and immortality brought to light through the saving power of the gospel. The morning of his appointment has shed its destiny; the angels have sung their prelude to the opening of the crusade and now it remains for the enemies of the dispensation to begin to destroy the hopes of the believers in the all glorious—Prince of Peace, or to submit to his reign. At the close of the Sermon Bishop Smith led in prayer, after which the Holy Communion was administered. Organization. At the afternoon session organization was directed, Dr. L. H. Reynolds, who has been chief secretary of the Conference for 12 years called the roll, and at its conclusion asked that his name should not be put up for conviction. Several names were proposed, but in the result Dr. W. D. Johnson, dr. of Georgia, was elected to till his place. He named a saint of the church who were accepted as his assistants. The other Conference officers having been elected the President, Bishop Games, announced the Committee or Clerkships. A large and highly appreciative audience invited the auditorium of St. John at night to listen to the addresses of welcome and testimonies there. Among the speakers was Mayer J. P. Reddick, who on behalf of the city, welcomed the delegates. His works were well received. He and many other things that he was pleased to welcome to the city at Network the representatives of the cultural time.

He was sure that if he had been born to a German citizen and the better element of Norwegian brought together there would be perfect peace, the race problem would be solved. He feelingly referred to his childhood days when nursed in the black arms of a mainted old-woman who was ever willing to him, he himself when he left this world and reached the beyond, she would be there to welcome him. It was a pleasure for him to welcome the Conference to the city of Norfolk. "We are proud of our city," continued the mayor, "proud of our people, proud of our colored people. We extend our early welcome to parade of our pleasures and shun our sorrows and wor." The speeches were all splendid efforts and were well received. The Quadrennial Address. After devotional exercises and the transaction of some unimportant business the Quadrennial Address was delivered by Bishop W. B. Derrick; D. D. his opening remarks the bishop said that the impatient himself with the A. M. E. Church in this house of prayer. The coincidence was certainly a striking one. Received on probation in Rate Street Church in 1855 he delivered in 1858 one of the most comprehensive and important documents that has ever etained from the House of Bishops. Attended. At the afternoon session of Bishop B. F. Lee, Secretary of the Bishop's Council, read the list of committees. Much confusion ensued during the reading because of the incompleteness of the list. It was ultimately decided to postpone the announcements until the list was complete. To-day Bishop Tanner as next in seniority should have presided, but in consequence of his indisposition Bishop Grant occupied the chair. The Episcopal Committee, perhaps, the most important committee of the Conference, and which is composed of the leader of each delegation was today announced. It subsequently met and organized. Robert I. J. Love was elected chairman and William M. Whitman and A. J. Carey, D. D. secretary. The Personnel of the Conference. There has never been a previous Conference in which the young men were so conspicuous as in this. The old familiar faces are now assembled and less seen at evening assembly, as are those of from 40 to 45 are in the large majority, while there are many who are far younger. The old man with all their disadvantages have handed down to their successors a magnificent heritage. It remains to be seen if they will perpetuate their development if they use their educational and other adventures warrant us to anticipate. The Situation. The Conference will not settle down to business until after the election of bishops and general officers. This is, unmistakably, the most conservative Conference that has assembled for a year. It is utterly impossible to tell what is going to happen. Beyond the fact that some Annual Conferences have outspoken certain candidates nothing more is known to the problem result of the bishop's election. The bishop mended that three bishops be elected, two for the home work and one for the African field. Should the Episcopal Committee adopt the recommendation, which is not possible, the Conference, will we, think, throw it out. We think that the Episcopal Committee will advise that four bishops be elected, one for Africa and the other for America. But even this will not satisfy a large majority. For the bishops, the conference dates, all of whom are prominent men in the church. Among them are Drs. H. B. Parks, E. W. Lampton, H. T. Johnson, L. H. Reynolds, J. Connor, W. D. Chappelle, Phipps, J. A. Jones, W. H. Leake, A. Gaines and several others; but these are the most prominent. They are all good men and the contest will be very keen. We canvassed the field the other day in order to be able to form some and from that what gathered it would seem that Dr. H. B. Parks to this writing the most popular of all the candidates. If, therefore, two be elector or three he will lead the field with Lampton and H. T. Johnson in his company. For the African work there are also many candidates, among whom are Drs. J. A. Johnson, L. C. Curtis, W. H. Heard, Singleton and others. J. A. Johnson, it is thought, will be elected. Other Candidates. With Dr. Joseph and Chapelle removed from their respective offices there will, of course, be three vacancies to fill. For each office there are a number of candidates. For Dr. Packs' post there are Dr. Cook, Peek, Sealy, Coleman, McCracken and others. For Dr. Johnson's place editor Christian Recorder, the most prominent aspirant is Dr. R. C Ramson, of New York, but Dr. Pinckney is steadily increasing his fathom. In his last year seems confident to him he will all succeed of Secretary of the Sudan School Union. The office of Secretary of the Department of Christian Endeavor will be contested by Rev. J. C. Cablewell, one of the promising young ministers of the Conference. We have not heard of any complaint against the present holder of the other, Dr. Greig, but it is possible that his friends might not stick to him. Dr. Cablety, manager of the Book Concern, will also have some opposition, but it will hardly be effective. As he has done excellent work during the quarantine The banquet. On the night of the ninth camped was given in honor of the Combatants by the co-captain of Norway. The funeral was a great success in every way. He received program musical and literary awards. We were so shocked by the ability of the participants. The social and institutional press and the institutions spoke competently, intellect and preparation. The participants would do credit to them. Below the war department the war conditions have been given further insight to recognition. Say what you will the Norwegian is a great prize of which it is a distinct honor to be a member. This is no saving where the Norwegian will be the end of the twentieth century. But something like 700 years past, the graves of the entertainment were heartily thanked. The Reports. The report of Dr H H Parks, Secretary of Mission, was the first taken. It showed unprecedented success during the quadrennium both in receipts and in the work done in the mission itself. The report is an able one. As a literary production it is almost beyond criticism. It sets forth in finished style the work done and shows the receipts and expenditures. From its comprehensive table we gather that the church contributed no loss sum than $122,000. There was a reunion that the secretary had a case worth $11,000 on hand. The case was loudly cheered and congratulations were showered lavishly upon the successful secretary. Then followed the report of Dr. Lampton, financial secretary. The report is also a good result and now has resulted results. During the quadrennium Dr. Lampton has received the large ROBERT C. OGDEN, President VICE PRESIDENTS: Hon. JOSEPH H. CHOATE GEORGE E.

According to the polity of the church, this sum represents 48 per cent. of the amount required to collect from each member in his charge $1 per year. If this department shows such excellent results it is easy to form bishop conception of the large sums that must have been collected by the entire connection for all purposes. Dr. Duncan also reported that he had the sum of $233,040.49 in hand, which he exhibited. For the moment he was the lion of the conference. He was checked to the echo and cries of "Lampton, Lampton" were awoken in unbasking the fact that when the votes are counted next week Dr. Lampton will be elected one of the bishops. The Missionary Meeting. On Wednesday night, General Conference Missionary Meeting was held. On the platform were Bishop C. S. Shaffer presiding; J. W. Gaines, W. B. Derrick, M. B. Salters, E. Treee and S. C. Smith, Missionaries R. A. Soaly, C. L. Curts and H. M. Steady. The spacious church was packed. After devotional exercises Bishop Shaffer, who is president of the Missionary Board, spoke of the efforts which his church had always made in the interest of missions, and he chared "In the churches for missionary purposes, other than those which came under the cognizance of the Secretary of Mission were reported, he had no doubt that it would be found that more than $150,000, all told, had been collected. He then expressed the pleasure which it gave him to introduce the first speaker in the Elder Eber and Nurintindent of the Windward Islands and British Guiana Conference. Dr. Sealy, who was received on rising, told of the rise, progress and success of the work over which he had presided for the last 16 years. He gave many graphic descriptions of incidents which had occurred in connection with his work. In conclusion he appended to the members of Conference to continue to help in the relief of missions to the best of their ability. Dr. Curris, of Liberia, followed and declared that it was a mistake to encourage poor people of color to go to Liberia. Such people suffered terribly and ultimately became a burden on the State. He advised the Conference to obtain a muni-bishop for Africa who had had some experience of the country and was accustomed to it. Men who sought the position simply did not go further going with the office would be failures. Drs. Steady and James read reports of their respective fields - Sierra Leone and San Donghu. The meeting was a very enthusiastic one and the very large audience which attended it proved that the church is alive to the importance of mission work. The Committees. are all hard at work, especially the Episcopal Committee, whose report must be submitted before the Conference can proceed to the election of bishops. In the meantime the other general officers and college presidents are laying their reports before the body. All the officers have had a prosperous quintennium and would either like to go up higher or to be repaired. It would seem as though one or two will be disappointed in both respects, Prof. J. W. Hawkins, Secretary of Education, and many good things to say for his department; so had Dr. Watson, of the Church Extension Society; Editor H. T. Johnson and Business Manager I. M. Collett also made good reports. The Conference Daily. The Conference has ordered the managers of the Book Concern at Philadelphia to publish a Conference daily to be held with H. T. Johnson, Allen B. Mulligan. The Educational Meeting. was held on the night of the 7th, Bishop L. G. Coppin, D. D. President of the Educational Department, presiding. Able addresses were delivered by President I. H. Jones of Wilberforce; J. S. Flipper, of Morris Brown; William Decker Johnson, of Allen; M. M. Pounton, of Campbell; W. I. Laws, of Paul Quinn, and French, of Quimada. The first three gentlemen named were boudly cheered and applauded throughout their speeches, which, as they should have been, coming from such men, were models of style, and practical thought. A Graceful Tribute. Bishop M. B. Salters presided on the fifth day, Friday. When he took over the gavel from Bishop C. T. Shaffer, who had presided on Thursday, his brethren of the Eighth Episcopal District, over whom he had presided very successfully during the quadrennium arose an gave him the Chantanqua salute, while other members thereof presented him with a carrion and a basket of fruit from Lentium. On Friday night, the 8th Dr. Vernon, Register of the Treasury, spoke in his usual eloquent and fascinating way to a large audience. Bishop E. Tyres presided on Saturday. Like Bishop Shaffer he is turn but kind, mindful of the South African Delegation. The South African Delegation, (three) arrived here on Saturday morning, their delay having been caused by a collision while leaving South Africa. Lng. They were personally received by the Conference and were appalled by the oppression from their brethren their native land.

Sunday was the most auspicious day in the history of St. Cyprian's Parish House. Early and late and at all services, large crowds visited the building. It was a happy, smiling crowd, delighted with what they saw and heard. Congratulations were heard on all sides, and very deserving are the compliments showered on Rev. J. W. Johnson, vicar, and Rev. Floarda Howard curate of the parish house. The building, costing $45,000, is a magnificent triumph of three years' work done by the vicar and his co-workers. They don't mean to stop here, but push steadily on until the whole building, four and a half stories, costing $45,000. This building is for the public, is not for the particular set or denomination but for everybody to come, use and enjoy. It marks an epoch in real social settlement work in the history of our race in New York. It is fitted with an auditorium which seats more than 650 people, with balcony and stage. This is a perfect room for public gatherings of most any description, light and airy, finished in white, with a line view from any part of the building. It will hide out, with shower baths, fooker and dressing rooms adjoining. It fills a long-felt want and will be largely patronized. The services Sunday morning were conducted by Roy, Florinda Howard. He was greeted with a large congregation and preached at a most excellent sermon. He was joined by the chair under Miss Rosie Howard organizer. The Sunday school session was largely attended.

In reference to various articles appearing in THE NEW YORK AGE from time to time concerning affairs at Abyssina Church in relation to Rev. C. T. Willeher two prominent members of the M.M. Church in EM M.Age, in an interview at T.H.Age, office in full the statement printed in Tiny Ace of May 7 that, "At each service this evangelist, C. T. Willeher, has spoken in any but the most favorable terms of educated ministers and institutes of learning, at times denouncing both seventy-five and ninety-five claring that educated ministers were lined and theses, and that our people wasted their money when they supported such institutions." They also state that his preaching is no more than the ministry congregation and that his disciples with the church ended last Sunday evening. He leaves for his home in Savannah Ga., to better equip himself as a minister. Regarding the position as Associate Pastor of Abyssina Church, that position is vacant. Neither Rev. W. S. Holby or T. Willeher have been elected or called as Associate Pastor of the church. They further deny the statement that Evangelist Wilcher announced himself as the temporary pastor of the church. They claim that in Evangelist Wilcher's sermons and conduct there has never been any way that he could be deemed insulting and that Rev. Holder's action in leaving the church was wholly unwarranted. The two above-named gentlemen state that Rev. Holder's work in connection with the church is continued to the childbirth and Sunday morning in the church. They announce the following as the speakers for the coming Sunday services: Rev. B. C. L. Jenkins in the morning and Rev. J. Francis Robinson in the evening.

WE DO ALL KINDS OF J OF JOB PRIN riefed at St. Mark's Church—President Schlefeltin Presides—Secretary Scotttron's Address—Rev. T. D. Christie's Talk. The second anniversary of the Committee for Improving the Industrial Condition of Negroes in New York was held in St. Mark's M. E. Church in West 53d street, New York City, Thursday evening; May 7. The day and evening so far as the elements were concerned proved the stormiest of the Spring, and yet a fair-sized audience greeted the speakers. Those who came were no doubt well rewarded for their pains in braving the weather. The unlocked for visit of the Rev. Thomas D. Christie, principal of St. Paul's Institute, Tarsus, Asia Minor, who opened the meeting with prayer and later on addressed the meeting, proved of great interest to the knowledge-seekers who were present. The meeting was favored by the presence of Mr. William A. Wilson, of the University of Chicago, the city, studying general conditions, also by the presence of the Rev. William Winter Mix, assistant to Rev. John P. Peters, St. Michael's Church, New York City. Officers of the committee. Dr. William Jay Schieffelin, president; Algernon I. Friesell, treasurer; and S. Theodore Scotton, chairman. The meeting having shown his devotion to the cause by coming post-haste from the annual celebration of Hampton Institute, of Hampton, in which took place only the first day, July 6 to attend this particular meeting. The meeting was called to order by Mr. George W. Allen, president of St. Mark's Lyeum, after a musical performance under the direction of Mr. Leon S. Adger and Mme. M. Randall. Mr. Allen introduced Dr. Schieffelin as presiding officer, who called upon Rev. Thomas I. Christie, secretary of the committee, to carry out the action. Rev. William Winter Mix for prayer. The chairman in his adress dwelt particularly upon the work of the committee carrying out the mission. Dr. John R. Baldwin, Jr., who only a few years ago had called several of the most intelligent of both races to meet in that very church to advise as to what he should do, and the coarsed people who were found to be settling in the city in great numbers. "The committee," he said, "is an outgrowth of the work and desire of Mr.aldwin and is but one of the one of the colleges that he has for the amelioration of the condition of the whole people, for Baldwin knew no color or race line in his effort at upholding." He spoke further of the outcome that the colored people of the South, advising the people of the situation here at the North, had met with and read letters from several interpell colored educators commending the warming of the circulation and the progress among the people. Several hundred more will as a result be sent to Hampton Institute, to Mrs. Murray, principal of Garnett School, Dolly Kellie, principal of Schollen Normal and Industrial School, Aiken, S. C. "The work of this committee," said he, "is felt in many places at the South and it can be made an instrument for the betterment of the country wherever the colored people are largely settled." At the conclusion of the charter address he called upon Mr. S. C. from the committee addressed to his fellow officers. As secretary of the committee, whose second anniversary we will be to thank, I may also advise the committee to train the committee, as well as to offer a word or two of advice, founded upon experience while engaged in the work the past year or more. We have published so much on time through newspapers and curators, the aims of the committee, that it seems to me quite unnecessary to mention the advice given to the committee by which it was intended to be one away to the mind the committee's object: "Committee for Improving the Industrial Condition." The committee has also having our particular attention, and yet not wholly neglecting general conditions such as call for a committee on neighborhood work and a committee upon employment along with other industrial and domestic service lines. We have had a measure of success in winning that it is the gateway by which the colored people are to enter into the full activities of our city life, promoting harmony in place of past disorder, and broadening our activity, bringing more people and better living. Of one thing we may justly proclaim, and that is, that the colored pupils in any of the industrial lines are a success, proving their ability to do as well as the best among other races, and possessing the highest art skills and greatest contribution. In dressmaking, embroidery, waist-making, and skirt-making the colored girl has shown that she possesses every requisite, deft fingers and the eye of the artist for color and form. It is an absolute fact that the flower-making of our schools is our girl's gift and of our fact that they are more thoroughly learned and equipped for the complete work. Notwithstanding I have had nearly 40 years' experience in the trades and manufactures of this city and industry, which with the art lines of manufacture, I have only recently had an opportunity to gauge the ability of my own people, and am confident that I will be able to give the result should the test be made, but the past two winters have removed every doubt, and I have no fear for the future, in that respect. I have not visited one of these industrial schools have missed one of the most inspiringights, a sight which will give you confidence in your own race, in their ability to do all that is possible with is one thing that we have not put them to consecutively, and that in our case we will largely ignore the what we build, give them steadily a work-room, to come early in the morning and to work at the bench or table steadily throughout the usual day, taking taller, talking so much that it decreases the output of our factories. One thing is quite apparent to our committee, and that in that the colored people are faster than they can be animated and adjusted to surrounding conditions. We have regarded it as who we send through our schools, churches and schools a circular letter advising the colored people of the unawarded conditions prevailing in this and other large cities in the North, where expensive buildings may be more plentiful than employment. This matter of overcrowding here should have our earnest attention to the end that we may, preserve what we already have attained to hereabouts, to the separate school system of former days. Many very powerful and influential persons have their minds already in that direction. We have some 80,000 colored populations in this city and by far the greater portion settled in four or five spots, and our people do not improve by segregation, which seems true also of some other peoples. We must do something to empty these five and six-story thats of the city, promote vice and immorality. Send the people over to the green fields and purer air of Long Island and New Jersey, which the opening of the subways, tunnels and bridges have made quite as near reckoned in mines as the tenements of San Juan Hill or Harlem. The work of the committee has already been felt in the building trades where may now be seen colored bricklayers, carpenters, and construction demonstrators that there exists a more kindly feeling for the colored workman and an open door that we had not litherto been aware of. At time we have been aware of the work we shall hope to have established a central office and headquarters that shall be readily accessible and a central point toward which all may turn and from which most power may be exercised.

The chairman, after a musical selection had been rendered, introduced Thus, D. Christie, principal of St. Peter's Church, the two hands, and The Rev. Christie, told of his pleasure on reaching this country after an absence of thirty-six years in Asia Minor to find the children of those whom he had fought under Grant, and whom he admired as he had seen them only yesterday at Hampton Institute, Va., where, beginning with that matchless leader of his people, Booker T. Washington, they are forming a committee of a special incident at Hampton where a lay had made a specialty and success of making flags, noting the influence of these industrial schools in promoting inventive genius, indulging in the arts, and visiting to the South had filled him full of hope, he said, in contrast to the almost hopeless conditions of the submerged class in Asia Minor, where so many actresses wear a death-like pallor common to those poorly fed and starving. A country where one penny a day, which buys a piece of bread about as large as the two hands, is considered the most oftimes be divided with one's neighbor. He pointed a circumstance to show how the decided starving conditions of years upon years had made the few children in the family to give a boy one day a bed, to stock of candy the child broke in a hard night there and presenting the hard to the brother they tell to nourish him. His work has to make it last a long time. "The American Negro knows, but little to the physical suffering of these poor people in the East, a burden that not only permanently with them. "I don't want you to think it presupposes in the absence of an abundance of thirty-five dollars, but not more remember my post-session as a soldier under Grant and what that was for. I come to you now after witnessing the struggles and sufferings of the immortal hopeless by the blessing of God miraculously interposed.

ELLY; Whitelism in the South In our news columns we republish extracts from interviews and addresses of the leaders of the "lily white" movement in Louisiana. These extracts indicate clearly how the "lily white" party in that State regards the Negro. A few days ago the "lily whites" of Alabama, headed by Davidson and aided by J. C. Manning, held their meeting in Birmingham, Ala. Both of these organizations have put themselves on record, as against the organization for their rights of Negroes in county, State or national conventions. They boast of what they have done and say that these are white men's organizations. Four years ago, when the "lily whites" under Davidson and others held their meeting in Birmingham they refused to allow Negroes to even sit in the galleries. These are the organizations that are going to Chicago, to ask to be recognized for representing the Republican party in the South. There is an one Republican organization in Alabama and that is the regular organization headed by Mr. J. O. Lumpkin and headed by the best white and colored Republicans in the State. The governor of the Davidson faction, which is the "Tily white" faction, of the "Tily white" in Louisiana, will prove an insult to every Vice-American in the Western and Northern States, and we might as well put ourselves on record now as being opposed to the recognition of the "Tily white" element in the Southern States. The "fily whites" are the worst enemies of the political rights of the Negro in the South. The Democratic party sought to disfranchise mainly the important Negro; the "fily whites" could stop further and seek to take away the political rights of the intelligent Negro as well. In every part of the South we should make it known that we are opposed to anything in the way of "fily whiteism." The "fily white" party has not helped the South or any Southern State where it was in control; on the other hand, the Republican party has less votes where the "fily whites" have dominated. A. Chicago the regular Republican party, headed by J. O. Thompson in Alabama, should be reelected on the "white" whites," headed by J. B. Williams in Louisiana, should be reelected on Of course, it isBody than with the "bly white" party, an elite in Alabama and in Louisiana, will try to entree a few workers and people to go to Chicago on their obligations, merely to make the proper appointment. We hope however that to Negro in Alabama or in Louisiana will be by helping in such loyalty and in honor to suffer himself to be used as a car's paw. We hear that an effort is being made in Alabama to get Dr. Pettiford to submit if the Alabama Penny Savings Bank, to go with the "bly whites," but we cannot believe that Dr. Pettiford would suffer himself to be used in this manner. Dr. Pettiford's bank is supported by the Negroes of Alabama, while the "bly whites," we presume, do not have one cent deposited in his bank. In the case of Louisiana not a single Negro is on the "lily white" State Executive Committee of ninety-six members This is the strongest kind of proof as to how the "lily white" party regards the Negro in that State. Race Independence It is not difficult for hundreds of voters to recall when, in many of the Southern States, the Negro was personally represented in Congress—both in the upper and lower houses. For Negroes to be members of the respective State Legislatures was common. Then in many instances they were induced by Democrats and "lily whites" to show an independence of spirit and assist in passing laws that would do them great good. So they showed their inde- pendence of spirit and were "independenced" out of politics. Yet the Philadelphia Pilot has the temerity to take exceptions to THE ACE warning the Negroes against voting for Bryan after his anti-Negro utterances made recently in New York City, and urge that the colored voters should vote for the Democratic nominee for President "just to show his independence." The Pilot fully believes that the colored voter would then command more respect. Should Tillman, Vardaman, Jeff Davis, Hefflin and their party get in power and control legislation at Washington the respect we would get is a matter we don't care to contemplate. If in their power they could do something to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments as they have wanted to for a long time we have a faint idea of just how much independence the Negro could assert thereafter. Yellow Journalism and Race Prejudice It has not, been so long ago that we read an article on yellow journalism in which the writer declared that sheets conducted under that name were not guilty of doing the public more harm than good as some contented; that a yellow journal published the same news as the so-called innovative newspapers, but gave more prominence to the subjects at issue. While we believe the writer was sinister in his definition of yellow journalism at the same time we find ourselves compelled to take issue with him on the subject and give an example of yellow journalism. Only a few evenings ago a number of men and women sat, wit at dinner for the purpose of discussion in a quiet way, what was best I would creating a more friendly and Godlike feeling among the various races of this country. At the conference were several priests, white men, some being high up in the literary world. There were also several Negro men present who were representatives of their race. In truth, a few white and colored women were at the meeting. But as a result of the impressions as the meeting was there were two things that gave the seminaries a purpose to use their big types to represent cost first, there were also Negro men and white women at the conference. Secondly, some little girls was served and the others at Negro men at the same No, the world have been told hold every woman in white from uncelebrated in which women are but to think of Negro men in white whom breaking the race and one of way where problem is. So well to be and the yellow women of it if women proceed to the world in chatting health of great "sensation" "White Girls on personal equality with Negroes" or "female" or "Ary" or the poor Negro women and the inefficient white men were in the Northward. It is not easy to scroll on the small view of some of these writers of yellow newspapers we write in jacket from their articles what they think way down in their hearts about "social equality." But, as is usually the case what they do is done in secret, when the lights are low what they do not think is expressed by them in their articles. It is a good thing that the Negro newspapers of this country don't tend to yellow journalism. For if they did, considering what they sometimes know about many of our would-be race agitators, they could make sensational reading without any padding. If from the North to the South the Negro newspapers would print weekly for several weeks articles on what they know about "social equality." we think we could make some of our yellow journals look like the New York Evening Post. But these journals are fighting for right and race recognition along conservative lines; that is, with the exception of a New England publication. They are not sensationalists, and are trying to crystallize a sentiment that will finally mean "fair play" for the Negro. Despite all the abuses heaped daily upon the Negro race our papers are always preaching loyalty to the flag, loyalty to "Uncle Sarp," loyalty to the people. You never hear of a Negro anarchist—and why? Because the Negro newspapers of the United States do not preach anarchy. In the New York Independent of May 7 a short but pointed article was published about the recent meeting given such undue prominence in our New York yellow journals. The Age agrees with it in everything except the statement that the readers of such papers are the greater sufferers. While it is true the readers suffer, it is the Negro who is forced to do the greater suffering. For every article printed that is anti-Negro, no matter, however, so unfair, means that the race has lost many white friends; if not friends those who have paid no particular attention to the Negro question one way or the other, but who in the future will express anti-Negro views—and forcibly so. We have read carefully the report of the Mechanics' Savings Bank and note with pleasure its growth in six years. It has handled $1,727,345.01, and the increase in deposits has been at the rate of 25 per cent. per annum. The officers and directors deserve great credit for the showing so far made. The illustrated booklet issued is neat and attractive, and for this Brother, Mitchell shows what he knows about running a printing establishment. The Ace tenders its felicitations. Hoke Smith, ex-Governor Vardaman, Benjamin Tillman and Thomas J. Heflin are all warm supporters of Mr. Bryan Dr. Dubois advises the colored people to support Bryan in preference to Secretary Taft, and thus allly themselves with the above named gentlemen. The broad bride had better praise hay while the sun shines—only a few more days to draw rains—No 500 fifth avenue will be closing down. The Color of Valorism, a little paper published in Montgomery, Ala., a few days ago devoted a white page to a description of a false convention held in Philadelphia and devoted five lines to a description of the State Negro Medical Association which met in its own city, and yet Negro cities wonder why people do not stop at their papers. THE CHOICE FOR THE PRESIDENCY Ultralink New York Technology On the morning after the New York Republican State Convention we said in referring to the action that Governor Hughes, as the official candidate of this great State, must be regarded at that stage in the preliminary canvass as an immediate successor to which the national candidate might be drawn under conditions which might be unfavorable to Chicago. That stage has passed and, in our opinion, the chance of any nomination except that of Mr. Taft. The people of New York might generally regret the impossibility of avoiding this conclusion if it necessarily meant even a temporary retirement of Mr. Hughes from public life at the expiration of his term as Governor. But that is not its necessary meaning. On the contrary, under the public misconceive the spirit in which he has his history he will not resist an overwhelming hand and that he continue the work he is now doing until it has been more nearly done. It is a consideration not directly related to the fulfillment of that duty, but homonely to be taken into account in the sphere of practical politics, that Governor Hughes as a candidate for reelection would arouse an enthusiastic interest in the whole Republican campaign in this State which could not fail to be of great advantage to the national ticket. Doubtless the same element of strength would be measurably added if Mr. Hughes at the demand of the national convention should accept the nomination Vice-President; but it is our conviction that he could not be persuaded to regard that as a claim which he would bound to acknowledge at the mercies of what he considers to be higher obligations. The President of the United States has had, as yet, no occasion to suppress an anarchistic paper conducted by a Negro, nor has any governor of a State been compelled to call out the militia to check the depredations of any black right-riders. "AN OSTRACISED RACE IN FERMENT" A Review of Ray Stanard's Bakery The American Magazine Number of the American Magazine Mr. Eay Stannard Baker, said to oo the greatest investigator in America, has been for the past two years traveling throughout the United States studying the Negro question from every point of view. The first series of articles dealt with the Southern Negro almost entirely. The new series, which began early in the year, has been dealing with the Northern Negro and with some of the broader problems in front of the race. Mr. Baker's approach has commended itself to, thoughtful reader everywhere, and his conclusions have been accepted because of their sanity, wisdom and accuracy. Under the title of "An. Ostrasied Race in Ferment," he tells in the May number of the American Magazine, New York City, the story of the conflict of various groups of Negroes in regard to the methods of dealing with their own problems. The article is illustrated with pictures of the W. Monson Trust, of Atlanta University; Wm. Monson Trust, of Boston; and Dr. Booker T. Washington, of the Tuskegee Institute, and his secretary, Emmet J. Scott. "One of the things that has interested me most," says Mr. Baker, "has been to find the Negroes so torn by cliques and divided by such wide difference of opinion. No other element of our population presents a similar condition: the Italians, the Jews, the Germans, and especially the Chinese and Japanese, are held together in a different language, but by ingrained a distinct national habits. They group themselves in plurality. But the Negro is an American in language and custom; he knows no other traditions and he has no other conscious history: a large proportion, indeed, possess varying degrees of white American blood (trespass blood); and yet the Negro is not accepted as an American. Instead of losing himself gradually in the dominant race, as the Germans, Irish and Italians are doing, adding those qualities, with which Time fashioned himself, his human nature called the American Negro is set apart as a popular people. With every Negro, then, an essential question is: "How shall I meet this attempt to put me by myself?" Mr. E. B. EWALT J. SCOH ENWETT J. SCOTT He was born where the town of them H. was settled has was settled in Northern Suffolk and was graduated H. was a story where he was suspected in Norfolk in 1819. He was was a Suffolk man in 1820. He was suspected of war. When he was engaged in the war he was sent to Norfolk and was sent to Norfolk. When he was sent to Norfolk he was sent to Norfolk. What was he said to tell his mother and son? The word "contain" is often used to describe something that is "contained" in a specific place or context. For example, "The word "contain" is often used to describe something that is "contained" in a specific place or context. His whole work and his life have and to the whole man: "You have set us apart. You don't want us. All right, we will be appalled. We can applaud as Negroes." It is the doctrine of the communityist and optimistic, in which the doctrine of the triumph of the soul who has come up fighting, dealing with the world, as he would like to try it, out as it it takes him. Many great leaders have been like that. Lincoln was one. They have the simplicity and patience of the soul, and the immense courage and faith. To prevent being crushed by circumstances the develop humor, they laugh at the immense qualities of the common man, possesses in high degree what some one has called "great commonness." And finally he has a simple faith in humanity, and in the just purpose of the Creator of humanity. Being a hopeful opportunist. Washington takes the Negro as he finds him, often ignorant, weak, timid, surrounded by hostile forces, and tells him to go to a anything, anywhere, but go to work, learn how to work, raise, save money, have a better home, raise a better family. The central idea of his doctrine, indeed, is work. He teaches that if the Negro wins by real worth a strong economic position in the country, other rights and privileges will come to him naturally. He should get his rights, not by gift of the white man, but by earning them himself. His emphasis is rather upon duties than upon rights. He does not adduce the Negro to harrowed single right on the other side, urges his people to use fully every right they have or can get—for example, to vote whenever possible, and vote thoughtfully. But he believes that some of the rights given the Negro have been lost because the Negro has neither the wisdom nor the strength to use them properly.

Walker, who has been wronged over this country, South and North, studying Negro communism, I have found the mark of him everywhere in happier human lives. Whenever I found a prosperous Negro enterprise, 63th-century place, a good home, there I was always able to see him. I was always picture over the street, or a little framed mottie expressing his people of work and service. I have little things said about Mr. Washington by both colored and white people. I have waited and investigated many of these stories, and I am telling here what I have seen and known of him among thousands of common, struggleful human beings. Many highly educated Negroes, especially in the North, dialog him and oppose him, but he has brought new hope and given new courage to the masses of his race. He has given them a working plan of life. And is there a higher test of usefulness? Measured by standard, white or black, Washington must regarded to-day as one of the great men of his country; and in the future he will be. The writer goes on to point out that, "The party led by Dr. Washington is made up of the masses of the Negro people North, and South; the radical party on the other hand, represents the so-called idealists, or 'intellectuals.'" Mr. Baker defines Dr. DuBois and his attitude in a few clear cut sentences: "Dr. DuBois has the temperament of the scholar and idealist-scritical, sensitive, unhumerous, impatient, often covering its deep feeling with sorrow and cynicism. When the question came to him: 'What shall the Negro do about discrimination?' his answer was the exact reverse of Washington's: it was the voice of Massachusetts: 'Do not submit; agitate, object, fight.' "Where Washington reaches the hearts of the people, DuBois appeals to their minds. DuBois is not a leader of men as Washington is. "He is rather a promotor of ideas. While Washington is building a great educational institution and organizing the practical activities of the race, DuBois is the lonely critic holding up distant ideals. Where Washington cultivates friendly human relationships with the white people among the lot of the race is cast. DuBois, sensitive to relativity, more and more away from white people. "Several years ago DuBois organized the Nixon Movement to the purpose of protecting against the rising of the color line. It is important for the extent of its membership, which is small, but because it represents genuinely a more or less president point of view among many educated people." 1973 100 THE MASTER DR. BOOKER T: WASHINGTON "The reason why the South today has a better development of Negro enterprise, one reason why Booker T. Washington believes the South is a better place for the Negro than the North, and advises him to contain there, is this more admonition. Pride thieves, being sharper, has forced the Negro back upon his own resources." Speaking of the effect upon the Negro of race prejudice, Mr. Baker relates an incident: "I was much struck, he says, with the remark of a Negro businessman I met in Indianapolis. The trouble here is, he said, 'that there is no enough prejudice against us.'" "How is that? I inquired. Well, you see, are we still clinging to the skirts of the white man. When, you hate us more it will drive us together and make us support colored enterprises." "When in Chicago I heard an interesting illustration of this idea. With the increasing number of Negro students prejudice has increased in the Chicago medical school, until recently some of them have been forced to attend a specialized graduate students. Concerning this condition, the Chicago Conservator, a Negro newspaper, says: "The cause of this extraordinary announcement is that the Southern students object to the presence of Negroes in the classes. Now it is time for the students to try to meet this insult by establishing a post-graduate school of their own. They can do it if they have the manhood, self-respect and push. Let Doctors Hall, Williams, Boyd and others get busy." "Yes; let us have one of that sort of our own." And this is no idle aug- 10 creation. Few people all conception of the growing ways of the Negroes in the medical formation. Last August the Colored Normal, Medical Association held its ninth annual session in Baltimore. Over three hundred delegates and members were invited from thirty different States. Graduates were there not only from Harvard and Yale, and other white colleges, but from colored medical schools like Meharry and Howard University. Negro hospitals have been opened and are well supported in several cities." The convention meets in New York City this year. Only this year. He is the work of the Negro Business League of the Negro business man, he says: "All over country, the country the Negro is is organized the Business Leagues and these leagues have formed a National Business League, which met last August in Topeka, Kan. can do no better in interpreting the practice of this work, which is indeed the practice of this work. Southern party, than in quoting briefly from the address of Booker T. Washington, who is president of the league: "Despite much talk the Negro is not discouraged, but is going forward. The race owns to-day an average equal to the combined average of Holland and Belgium. The Negro owns more land, more houses, more stores, more banks, than has ever been true in his history. We believe that no race can occupy a soil unless it is made out of it as any other race gets on to land in sunshine, rain and the laws of trade have regard for color or race. We are learning that we must be builders if we would succeed. As we learn this lesson we shall find help at the North and at the South. We must not be content to be tolerated in communities, we must make ourselves needful. The laws that govern the universe known no race color. The nature will respond as readily to the laws of Chinaman the Reliant or the Negro to the laws of race man may discriminate, but nature and laws that control the affairs of men will not and cannot. Nature does not hide her wealth from a black land." "All along the line one finds this spirit of hospital progress. A vivid picture of conditions, showing frankly both the weakness and the strength of the Negro is given by a colored correspondent of the nineteenth. Freeman. He begins by describing the organization of Carrabelle. Unlike many other black companies of thirty-three colored men to comprise a dry goods store. The correspondent writes. DR. W. E. B. DE BOIS "To the question is, 'What is the chief military support this country with, their patriotism?' It is a general all over the country that counted people pass by the doors of our merchant and trade with all other countries, Jews, Dagons, Polacks, and what not." That after giving people are doing some time in these matters than they did some time in the past. It was a most pleasant surprise to learn, the other day, that the colored undertakers in St. Louis do every dollar's worth of business for our people in that line. This information was given by a reliable white undertaker and substantiated by the colored undertakers. The white man asked what he thought of it. He said he thought it was a remarkable illustration of how his own people and that they should own蒙蒙ed for it. And then there are sides to every question. It is often too true that our people run their business on a low order—noisy, unhealthy, questionable, divel-like concern—therefore do not deserve the patronage of decent people. Too many of our men do not know anything about business. They don't be in business in their money in advertising their business in class periodicals. We must not expect people to know where we are or what we have to sell unless we advertise. Many of our nickles would find their way to the cash drawer of a colored mash if we just can't find to find the store, restaurant or hotel." In regard to the success of the race as a whole, Mr. Baker says: "It is not short of astonishing, indeed, to discover how far the Negro has been able to develop in the forty old years since slavery a distinct race spirit and position. It is pretty well-known that he has been going busiest, that he is acquiring much land, that he has many professional men, that he worships in his own churches, and has many schools which conduct—but in other lines of activity he is also getting a foothold. Just an illustration: I was surprised to find so many Negro theaters in the country—theaters not only owned and operated by Negroes, but presenting plays written and acted by Negroes. I saw a fine new Negro theatre in New Orleans: I visited smaller, colored theatre in Jackson, Miami, Chicago the Pekin Theatre is an inter-urban theater conducted by Negroes. William and Walter, Negro comedians, have long amused large audiences, both white and colored. Their latest production, *Bandiana Land*, written and produced wholly by Negroes, is not only funny but clean. "Many other illustrations could be given to show how the Negro is developing in one way or another—but especially along racial lines. The extensive organization of Negro lodges of Elks and Masons and other secret orders, many of which with clubhouses, might be mentioned. It might be called to the almost innumerable companies maintained by Negroes, the largest of which, The True Reformers of Richmond, has over 50,000 members, and the growth of Negro newspapers and magazines (there are now over 200 in the country), but enough has been said, perhaps, to make the point that there has been a real development of a Negro spirit and consciousness. Of course these signal successes in large among the 10,000,000 of the land and yet they show the possibilities; there is hopeful side of Negro condition in this country as well as the dark and evil aspects of which we hear so much." Summing up his observations the writer draws these following conclusions in regard to the future of the race: "Out of this ferment of racial self-consciousness and readjustment has grown, as I known, the two great Nazi parties. Below in the end and within them lie the destinies of the nation in this country, and to no small extent also the day of the dominant white race. It is, therefore, of the highest importance for white men to understand the real tendencies of thought and organization among these 10,000,000 Americans. For here is vigor and abstraction, and whatever may be the white man attribie to toward the Nazi, the contempt is general, what the Nazi is doing is to show the self-sacred but positively inclined, only to undermine understanding can the white man understand the entire responsibility of government in this country meet the crises, the that of the Atlanta riot, which are constantly grinding among the races." It is recommended with the normal fitness condition of the North, East and West side to make the Representation can bilate the Presidency. The State which would have the big men for whom wish to vote. Women who have had symbols and postmenial charac M. Courtesy of the American Magazine persons of the Presidential candidate. In the Illinois campaign of '47 the insignia of the "Phi Delta Kappa" had its vague and in Hartford's "N" strand-fathers' hat was in flow. In the Taft campaign of '49 why may not the brary costume and much labeled suitcase be appropriate for the matching club? Has "Portress" Durhols revisal his opinion of Bryan's availability as the Negro candidate for President since the Nebraskans latest utterance on the suffrage problem? If the wise, superior and conservative forces have their way at Norfolk and Philadelphia they will be no politics in either of the Methodist General Conferences. The ministers will attend to their "knitting." --- A well-known colored leader remarked the other day that "The Republican party's greatest asset is the Democratic party's insininity." Correct! He can go to the head of the class. Peculiar as it may seem, the friends of Frederick Douglas and Paul Laurence Dunbar are not showing half the practical enthusiasm in the matter of supplying memorial as are the followers of George Dixon. ae re ie . vs : ihn a ‘ ‘ ; - : a fe 2 THE NEW YORK AGE: AY, MAY 14, 1908 : ee oh . \T THB renee Wh 4 Senator vis bes Te al soeeie ‘ances reat w falted " Staves Bemate (Va) Fisberwyen's Net.

EW YORK AGE PUBLISHING COMPALY 2 eye 0 Gramen Spee Oot tert Music and the Stage 1. COLE AND JOHNSON IN VAUDEVILLE Cole and Johnson have returned to their first love—vaudeville. They have been booked to play on the variety stage for a short time only, as it will soon be necessary for them to confine their labors to writing their new musical comedy for next season. It is to be regretted that they will be unable to play in vaudeville all summer, as the act in which they are now appearing is novel and instructive, and would prove to the white patrons that the colored performer is capable of doing more than cake-walking and buck-dancing. Before becoming stars in musical comedy Cole and Johnson bore the reputation of having the most refined colored act on the variety stage. During their five or six weeks' stay in vaudeville they can again claim such distinction without much trouble. Monday they opened at the Colonial Theatre supported by six young ladies and one young man. It was their first appearance in New York City since they took to musical comedy. Two years ago they played at the Colonial Theatre and left immensely fond of the music. They were successful career in vaudeville; for on their return to America they started in to rehearse the "Shoe-Fly Regiment." The two stars were recorded a warm reception Monday which showed that the public is not averse to colored performers doing something along artistic lines. That the act is very much different from the majority of colored acts is undeniable; it is the work of the history in many museums. What is noticeable most of the performers do no dancing—and yet the act makes good. In the interest of the colored performer the writer hopes that some of our white managers and booking agents will give the Cole and Johnson not a "look-over" and they may change some of their narrow views as to what kind of an act the colored performer should be in the village. In handsome nets the bookings are particularly show a decided lack of progressiveness. Once in a while you will hear a vanderville parrot remark. "When I see one colored act I see them all." If such is true the colored performers should be always blamed for the fault of the looking-glass agent of the manager. They must have an idea that when you say: "I have a colored act," it should be built on the same lines as a colored act put on eight years ago. Usually they will suggest that you must have a plantation scene to identify the backpacking and shining Nergon songs. They forget that the public has been seeing such acts for years and that the people want new and novel situations—even if the performers are colored. But that is the reason why there is so much sameness to colored acts and the performer in those acts looks and manages the blues. They should, future, show the colored performer more latitude in the manner of providing new scenes and situations in vanderville. They must remember that they don't know it all; if they did they could produce hits weekly. Since we are not having any too many colored acts now, we have to be careful and policy in But to return to Cole and Johnson, Having been so successful in vancouver a few years and now being stars in musical comedy, they were not restricted to putting on a gig with plantation scene and so on. Therefore they were fortunate in that they could show the managers and the agents that the public will accept a company of colored performers in a refined way and be made in the number that would tend to do some little good. The act is too long in the first place. Twenty six minutes with the temperature beginning to rise is Harry Lander's title. The act could be cut to 20 minutes. There is entirely too much talking. In fact, for the first 10 minutes or more there is nothing but talk. The public seems to be averse to too much dialogue at this time-unless on each line is a great laugh-prepared. If the dialogue was boiled down and musical numbers introduced earlier the evidence would take kindly to the change. The act is done with full stage, interior with suitings. When the curtain rises six young ladies, dressed in college caps and gowns, are in the room chatting at a "subway express rate" about how much they love soldiers, which is kept up until Cole and Johnson arrive. Then several of the "Shoe-Fly Regiment" situations are used in which Rosamond Johnson is the hero of the girls and Rob Cole is persona non grata (whatever that means). Then the stage is cleared and Rosamond Johnson plays an instrumental number that is well received. However, the audience shows its first real appreciation in his singing of Sugar Breeze, which is much more subtle than the singing of chorus from the gallery, and more encore were necessary. Rob Cole and the galaxy of females participating. "The Sweetest Gal in Town" was the next number, which was sung by Bob Cole and company, and the act closes with Rosamond Johnson singing "Fight For the Dear Old Flag" assisted by company—also a dear old flag which is lowered in the rear. James Roose Europe directs the orchestra while she assists by Cole and Johnson assisted by Fannie Wile, Mamie Butler, Bessie Tribble, Lila Coleman, Daisy Brown, Leona Marshall and Edgar Connery. The young ladies work with plenty of ginger and look, well in their costumes. As for the work of Cole and Johnson we all know what they can do in vaudeville. Instead of evening dress they are appearing in soldier garb. All colored performers should be glad that the act is an articlenic success, as it features the colorful a colored act should not be refused. In the future it should be given to our vaudeville artists an opportunity to show more versatility. Cole Q. Johnson EDITED BY LESTER A. WALTON "The Man from Rome" is the New Offering at the Pekin. CHICAGO, May 13—After a successful run of five weeks the "Follies of 1808" and "The Merry Widower" have been taken off at the Pekin to give the patrons something new. As the two musical burlettas proved such a winning combination, Robert T. Motta was a little reluctant about changing the bill. Same evening saw the best performance of the show and Monday evening "The Man from Home" was produced for the first time. The piece is full of mirth and music and is especially attractive. There are several pretty dancing numbers in the show. Lottie Grady has directed considerable attention of late to minicure, and has gained no little success. Reports from Chicago state she was one of the hits in the "Follies of 1808." The film "American," in commenting on "Institutions the Rage in the Show World," and the following to say about the promising "Windy City" actress: "The other girl who lives nearest to Maud Raymond in lifelike mimicry is Lottie Grady. Lottie Grady is in no where Irish, notwithstanding the Grady. She was born and bred in South Chicago, and to-day, at nineteen years of age, has the proud distinction of being leading lady at the Theatre, Twenty-seventh and State streets. "Somewhere in the Smallley-Adler jumble. Follies of 1895. Lottie Grady does the only real impersonation there is of Bert Williams singing 'Nobody.' "Cissie Lottus mixed a good white soda fizz, but Lottie Grady hands, out the real article in chocolate and takes her seven and eight curtain calls without a perceptible blush. "She also does Ada Walker singing 'Dinah,' and gives the dance that goes with this song as well as the Indicous 'Nobody' dance. "The South Side is entitled to its idols as well as the down-towners, and Lottie Grady is certainly the idol of Dusky Land. Not only for her imitations, be it said, but for her dancing, which is swift and of feathery lightness—except in the Merry Widower 'Lovin' Rag, and there it has a sensuous grace and language no white woman need ever attempt." Charles Gilpin, one of the principals of the Pekin Stock Company, was forced to leave the company. He is improving, however, and will appear in the new production next week. The 'Merry Widower' two-step contest, held on the stage of the Pekin after the regular performance last Saturday night, proved such a success that the contest will be repeated on each Saturday night after the performance. To the soft, dreamy strains of "That Lovin' Rag," over which the "Pekinites" have set Chicago wild, eight couples of the best dancers graced the stage. The prize for the best lady slipper was a "Merry Widower" hat of the latest design, and to her partner was a gentleman's gold watch. J. Ed. Green, amusement director of the Pekin Stock Company, who was recently thrown violently into the street while boarding a car, is recovering rapidly and will soon be able to assume his full duties. Cole a Johnson Edna Alexander to Join "Four Creeole Belle." BERLIN, GERMANY, May 11.—Edna Alexander is to join the "Four Creeole Belles," now composed of Alice Mackay, George Harvey, Leretia Knox and Sally Green Byd. She is to take the place of Sally Green Byd who is to return to America with her husband, Anthony Byrd. A new act is being written for the singers, which will be done with full stage instead of "in one." A piano will also be used. Negotiations are under way for the act to play in South Africa and South America. "Black Patti" in Baltimore. BALTIMORE, May 13.—Although the weather is warm here "Black Patti" and her company are doing a good business, and the show seems to please. The company is here for a week. "Bandanna Land" at Academy of Music, PHILADELPHIA. May 13.—For the first time in the history of theatricals here a colored show is appearing at a first-class theatre. This week Williams and Walker are at the Academy of Music and are delighting the audiences with "Bandanna Land." Before opening in New York City the company played at the Park Theatre—the best popular price theatre in Philadel- phia. However, the comedians demanded better houses after their long run in New York. That is the reason they did not turn to the Park Theatre. Williams and Welles have declared that they must get first-class prices throughout the country next season or "else." They close the season next week at the Folly Theatre, Brooklyn. scene of Gounod's Faust. So pleasing was their vocal and dramatic effort that they were compelled to repeat the number. the program: 1. Bantz solo, Fantasie, "Rigoloetto," Vrieli-Lieut, Mimi Helen Elise Smith. 2. Baritone, Mimi, prologue, "Pallacci," Lennoxxello, Mr. Harvey T. Burleigh. October 9—Geospatial by Dr. Criticism by P.

MONTGOMERY, ALA., May 13.—Marion Brooks has been compelled to close the Bijou Theatre here as was forecasted in last week's Aug. The colored citizens did not seems to take kindly to musical comedy, it is charged. It has not been decided what the managers will do with the Bijou Theatre in the future. Business a Little Better at Dunbar Theatre. COLUMBUS, May 13.—Manager Smith feels a little more encouraged as to the future success of the Dunbar Theatre since he changed the attraction to wade-bleen and moving pictures. However, the orchestra and moving pictures will be little playhouse the support to which it is entitled and which, is necessary if it is to remain open. Abbie Mitchell Cook to Sing "Mandy Lou" Again. The summer will probably be a busy one for Abbie Mitchell Cook if her press ont plans are carried out. She is scheduled to appear in two concerts at a near Adolphus Huston, and the other in Wilmington, Del. when Harry T. Burleigh Melyville Charlton and Mune, Jennie Armstead will appear. If she joins the Memphis Students she will meet her old sons,andy which will include the hits Wes Hogan was star of the organization at Hammerstein's. Flashes from Rutland. RUTLAND, MASS. May 13—N. S. Feldman, of New York City, paid Ernest Hogan a visit last Sunday and found the "Unbeached American" in fine spirits. He also had the pleasure of seeing the comedian eat dinner and declared it was the same Hogan who used to devour spring chickens by the wholesale at the Hotel Marshall in record-breaking time. Mr. and Mrs. W, C. Crane of Roston, and Miss Mary Kehp, of the two Kemps, were visitors of Ernest Hogan last Sunday. They found him bright and writing a play. Each left with the impression that the public will soon see the great actor, comedian before the footlights again. Mine, Elizabeth Cough, the well-known singer from Westchester, has been a comedian since she came to keep him in good spirits. Mr. Hogan speaks in the highest terms of Mine. Cough's ability as a singer and product, that if the comangers are ever fortunate enough to secure her consent to join the professional ranks they will get a "find." James Reese Europe Signs With Cole and Johnson. James Rose Europe signed this week with Cole and Johnson to act as their musical director next season. The comedians and the musician came to terms on Saturday night but kept minutes. During the first season of the "Show- Fly Regiment" Mr. Europe was musical director for Cole and Johnson, resigning toward the end of the season. He was musical director of the Smart Set Company this season. Harrison Stewart and James Burris From reports there is a possibility of Harrison Stewart and James Berris starring in a musical show of some kind next season. Stewart, who until recently was leading comedian at the Fokin Theatre, arrived in New York City a few hours earlier for the last two seasons. Straight numm in the Smart Set Company. A certain theatrical promoter in the St. James Building is said to be negotiating with the pair. If they do not go out in a show they will appear in vaudeville. Recital at St. Cyprian Parish House Opening an Virginian Residence. Those who leave the inbound weather or last Thursday evening and attend the opening of St Cyranus Parish House 171 West 63d Street will repay the dues during the musical performance for the musical "The Wizard of Oz" at the Howard Museum in Miss Elizabeth Howard. A K M D W and recitals get the two confused in their billing—as well as in the makeup of their program. Announcement had been previously made in connection with the opening of the new parish house that there would be a recital, and those present were, without a doubt, treated to one of the best recitals ever given in New York City by colored talent. All the participants volunteered their services. On the program were such well-known as Mr. Harri T. Burleigh, Mr. Melville C. Miss Elsie Smith, Howard, who is soon to graduate from Damrosch's School and who has been an organist for seven years: Mr. J. William Loguen, lyric tenor and a student of Kenney; Miss Helen' Elsie Smith, pianist; Mr. Walter F. Craig, violinist. Miss Elizabeth Howard, who was responsible for the program, and whose musical future looks particularly bright, deserved all the compliments she received after the recital, as the affair was an artistic success from almost every standpoint. The combination of musiciansight football team, a singing one, and as Dr. Huntington, of Great Church, remarked, "The seats were well worth 5 apiece on such an occasion." While all the numbers were well received and called for an encore, the audience was most demonstrative after Miss Leigh had sung the trio from the prince.

Our Women Waking Up About as many colored women as white women during the past week went to Hearts, McCreevy's, Storm Bros, or Jerry's to present a completion Mirror. No one knew what just it claims to do. It makes black or brown skin lighter and white skin whiter. It is just as valuable for colored women as for white women. In fact, completion Mirror is a very different skin condition which pretended to whiten colored skin were nothing more than vulgar white wash, which only spoiled the completion, Completion Mirror is a very different skin condition on the skin. It makes the skin itself whiter. The natural skin becomes gradually whiter. It does more than that. It removes all traces of grease and perspiration, keeps the skin healthy, soft and moist. It also prevents the product they will feel better grounded and in better condition to seek business positions or social position. They will feel softer and better equipped for social activity, ball or other social functions. PHYSICAL, CULTURE EXHIBIT. The Public Pleased at the Annual Reception of the Alpha Club. Last Friday night, May 9, the Alpha Physical Culture Club holds its annual reception at Palm Gardens. It was a large success, in spite of an incident wretched, and proved conclusively that the club already carried a warm place in the hearts of the public. The program was most interesting. It occasioned an exhibition of the club's work in physical training in three phases: apparatus work in the gymnastics and class work with dumbbells and Indian clubs. The audience was greatly pleased by the beauty of the apparatus work, but they waved enthusiasm over the beauty of the Indian club drill. The gathering was perhaps the most secessive present at any function this season. The fair sex fairly old prodigal parents stole to play themselves further stole by beautiful dresses and other items to say nothing about the Merry Visitors from other cities, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington were present, and the Browns by Roosevelt, McKinley, McCarthy and other prominent folk were on hand, words of appreciation and encouragement. Allegory it was a brilliant, outstanding audition. As proof of their commitment, one occasion was a hurry to go home. A most plausible innovation was the addition of the boxers grouped by the difficulty of the competition, to the polish to the Junior Smart Set Club, to Browns, as the club possesses the most tastefully and completely decorated boxers, other features of this most credible boxing program, and the most cohesive programs. The grand march was led by the Alpha Club. The two other athletic clubs, St. Christopher and other other clubs, and finally the same other clubs and finally the audience. Everybody seemed friendly, and the ladies willingly joined in the march with the gentlemen, combination dance order and program containing on the front cover a very good cut of the Alpha gymnasium team. The photograph was taken by a club member, and the dance order and program made by The Ace (PLUSHING COMPANY).
