HOWARD UNIVERSITY--SEAT OF HIGHER EDUCATION Doors Open to All For Higher and Professional Training of Youth ITS COMPLETE AND VARIED CURRICULA In Equipment, General Efficiency and Personnel of Professors Howard Ranks With Foremost Institutions—The Student Body—Howard Alumni Association—Plans For the New Year 24 WASHINGTON, May 25.—Howard University opens its doors to all persons regardless of race, sex, or creed. It stands, however, specifically for the higher and professional training of Negro youth and offers to them such varied and complete curricula as are found in few other institutions of its kind. This university aims to train men and women to take their places in the world ready and prepared to do large and valuable service, to measure up fully to their environment and to share in and spread the spirit of dynamic efficiency so typical of this latter-day civilization. Founding of Institution. Howard University has its birth soon after the close of the Civil War, when a group of men of strong faith and wise forfeiture conceived and executed the idea WILBUR P. THIRKIELD, DD., LL.D. President Howard University. of founding an institution of higher learning for the recently enunciated slaves. How well they built may be seen in the product which by gradual and healthy growth has evolved from their philanthropy. The university is supported largely by yearly appropriations from the United States Government and thereby bears the impress of a National Negro University. Existence of the Institution. There are departments of liberal arts, theology, medicine and law with the academy and the commercial school. The university, accordingly, prepares teachers, ministers of the Gospel, physicians, dentists, pharmacists, lawyers and business men. We find mentioned among the leading reasons for the existence of the institution the following expression: "For the education of youth in the liberal arts and sciences." The School of Liberal Arts stands as the exponent of the higher academic education in Howard University. In equipment, general efficiency and personnel of professors it ranks with the foremost. For nearly 40 years it has been sending forth competent men and women, many of them teachers, to take their places in the world of thought and action. They are doing their work well. The higher education of the Negro is no longer an experiment. The finished product of these Negro schools has proved himself fit to survive in the storm and stress of modern competition. They are filing positions of responsibility, honor and profit to their own credit and to the everlasting justification of their alma mater. The splendid effectiveness of the training received in the School of Liberal Arts of Howard University is indicated not only by the success of the Alumni, but by the steady and rapid, increase in the number of students who have been inspired and enthused by their progress. An increase of 35 per cent, in 1907-08 and a likely increase of even greater size in 1908-09, must be regarded as significant. There is now a larger number of college students in Howard University than in any other Negro institution in this country. All of the branches usually taught in American colleges are well provided for in the curriculum of this school. Plans are on foot for the enlargement of courses that the increase in the size of the college may be well taken care of. A good library, well fitted; laboratories for the physical and natural sciences and all the other adjuncts that combine to render college work thorough and effective are to be found here. Dean Kelly Miller has brought to his office wide experience and ripe judgment—an earnest that the work will prosper under his加印浸染. No calling is more important than that of the ministry. In its School of Theology, Howard University offers many advantages to the divinity student. It is inter-disciplinary in character and is correlated with that breadth of thought THE NEW YORK AGE. which comes from fellowship with men of different views who are striving for the advancement of a common cause. The students of the theological school enjoy the opportunities of extending their work by studies in other departments of the university. In the large colored population of Washington are found special privileges of engaging in religious work with the various churches—work which is so valuable to the student fitting himself for large usefulness among men. School of Medicine. The School of Medicine with its medical, dental and pharmacetic colleges is the best equipped medical school among the Negroes of America. It is a member of the Association of American Medical Colleges. Its growth has been great and its graduates outnumber those of any other department of the university. The attractions offered cannot fail to appeal to the prospective student. The libraries of Washington in themselves provide a liberal medical training. Most complete and elaborate is the library of the surgeon general, containing more than 150,000 volumes. The Library of Congress and the Patent Office Library afford many medical works. These libraries are all at the disposal of the profession. Finest of its kind in the world, the Army Medical Museum is freely open to the public and is of exceptional interest to the medical student. Other museums are the Smithsonian Institution, the National Museum, the Museum of Hygiene, and the museums of the Agricultural Department and the Patent Office. The Medical School building is large and has modern and thoroughly equipped laboratories for the practical study of every branch of medicine taught by the laboratory method. There are several lecture rooms and an amphitheatre seating several hundred. Several new professors are being added to the faculty for next year—acknowledged specialists in their respective departments. Freedmen's Hospital. The superb new Freedman's Hospital, recently constructed by the Department of the interior at a cost of nearly half a million dollars, is an adjunct providing advantages that cannot be overestimated. The favor of Secretary Garfield and the department of the government represented by the large need for the whole university. The medical and clinical work of this new hospital is supplied by the Medical School of Howard University. Not surpassed anywhere are the clinical facilities found here. A large population, such as city of Washington has, provides cases of all kinds and the medical graduate of Howard enters his field of labor with much experience gained from the clinics. The dental clinics provide valuable experience for students of that branch. The excel right work done makes the dental infirmary instantly popular and keeps the demonstrators and advanced students always busy. Fully up to the standard of the others is the work of the Department of Pharmacy. The graduates of the several colleges of the School of Medicine readily pass the board examinations of any Stat in the country. The school of law Its location in the National capital gives it to the School of Law decided advantages. There sit the United States Supreme Court and the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia and here are held the sessions of Congress. Occupying a building of its own on Judiciary Square, the Law School is in close touch with the daily courts of the city and enjoy to the fullest extent the legal atmosphere. Its faculty of successful legal practitioners offers to the students the best inspiration for hard, persevering work. It has its own library well supplied with legal works. The great Congressional Law Library, at the disposal of all, is not equalled in this country. The Academy. The Academy is the fitting school of the university, preparing students for the departments mentioned above and for any American college. Its standards are high and its aim is always to be equal to the best in every way. The Academy course have already been followed and broadened its lists of electives increased. Finder the leadership of Dean Cummings, a teacher and administrative officer of long experience and large sympathy with his work, a faculty of well-trained teachers stands alert to all advances in the educational world. The academy certificate is recognized and its graduates matriculate in colleges anywhere. The growth of this department has been rapid and it is one of the largest and most flourishing in the university. Commercial Department. Filling a great want among the Negroes, the Commercial Department is found developing the business interests of its students. Commerce in the life blood of a nation and those who neglect it are certain to fall behind in the present materialistic age. The courses are practical and provide an excellent English and business training. Recognizing the value of commercial branches, there are found among those taking special courses not a few students from other departments of the university.

At the inauguration of President Thirkild and the celebration of the fortyth anniversary of the university last November, the excuses were graced by the presence of some of the foremost men of the nation. The addressees delivered by President Roerveil, Amhambard Bryce, Mr. Carnegie, Secretary Garfield and United States Commissioner of Education Brown were all filled with encouragement for the work done at Howard University. Said Mr. Carnegie, "It almost seems to me this moment that some power higher than myself brings me here upon this occasion, that it would almost be proper to say, 'Now have mine eyes seen the glory of the Lord.'" Approximations. There is great rejoicing over the generous provision that Congress is making for the university. Students and professors joined in round after round of cheers when President Thirkild announced the appropriations for the coming year. The increased outlay will enable better and more far-reaching work to be done. While one year ago, the university was working under a Congressional appropriation mounting to $47,300, next year the tru- The image provided does not contain any text.

This includes a liberal advance in salaries to professors and teachers who have worked for many years on limited salaries. This advance is all the more marked because under the Sundry Civil Bill Congress has made no other provisions for advanced salaries. Included here is an appropriation of $17,000 for a new central steam heating plant, which will furnish steam heat to every building on the campus. It will be attached to the present large plant of the Freedmen's Hospital adjoining the camp, the great building of the hospital and those on the campus will be built from one plant. This fills a long-felt want. Not only will greater comfort be secured, but economy of administration and a learning of the danger of fire will follow. The Carnegie Library. The gift of Mr. Carnegie $50,000 for a new library building will supply a presinent need of the institution. Although the appropriations for books have been increased more than one-half and the facilities of the library greatly advanced under the present administration, yet the reading room, once ample, is now inadequate to meet the needs of the greatly increased number of students. The library stockroom is too small to contain all the volumes, many of which must be stored in the hallament of the main hall. Funds are now being raised to meet the conditions of Mr. Carnegie. President Thirkield has sufficient in hand to recommend to the trustees the securing of competitive plans and it is hoped that before many months have passed a noble structure will adorn the campus on the beautiful spot north of the chapel. Hall of Retention. Efforts looking to the construction of a science hall are now being made. The (Continued on Page 2) Well Known Vocalist and Violinist in Recitals Honor Dr. D. H. Williams in 25th Anniversary—College Fur- tures of Colored Athletes—Taft League Plans Campaign CHICAGO. May 18.—Chicago has had almost more than its share of good things this week in the form of high musical events. On Monday evening, May 11. Mr. Clarence White, the well-known violinist of Washington, D.C., appeared before a very enthusiastic and appreciative audience in the Institutional Church THE CAPITOL BUILDING OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. of this city. He was assisted by Madam Neal Hawkins, Bacheur, the brilliant vocalist of this city. Mrs Viola Spikes Kitchen, known as the "celebrated California pianist" and other local favorites. The audience was allowed to a high pitch of enthusiasm by Mr. Whale's masterly performance on the violin. On Friday evening, May 15, Madam Azalin Hackley, the best known vocalist of the race in this country, sang in concert at the Institutional Church. The concert was by far the most brilliant and artistic affair that has been given in this city for some time. Mrs. Hackley was at her best and easily captivated the fine audience that greeted her every appearance with every possible manifestation of appreciation of her finished art and vocal powers. She was enclosed time and time again at the conclusion of each number, to which she graciously responded, singing the "old songs," to the delight of the audience. Mrs. Hackley was fortunate in finding here in Chicago critical appreciation of her musical culture. The musical taste of the colored people of Chicago has been persistently cultivated and elevated by the Choral Study Club concert. Good music finds instant appreciation, and Madam Hackley, may feel quite assured that the applause that greeted her every number was genuine and based on an intelligent appreciation of what is good music. The physicians and some of the leading citizens of Chicago tendered Dr. D. H. Williams, of this city, a complimentary banquet a few days ago, in honor of the 25th anniversary of his career as a successful physician and eminent surgeon of the Northwest. There is an interesting group of young colored athlete who are to be graduated from the various high schools of the C Northwest next month and who plan to enter some of the universities next fall. It is an inspiring evidence of the compelling power of athletic prowess that these prospective university freshmen are being eagerly sought by such universities as the Chicago, Madison, Champaign and the Northwestern. Mr. Lynch Conway, of Pooria, Ill., who belongs to the present graduating class of the Pooria High School, has made a phenomenal record as an all-around athlete. He has won nearly all the championship prizes that come within the range of the undergraduate students of the High School. It is his present intention to enter the State University of Illinois, at Champaign, but all kinds of pressure is being brought to bear upon him and his friends to come to the Chicago University. Wherever he may decide to go he is bound to make a high record in the field of college sports. Mr. Conway is a member of one of the best colored families in Illinois. His father, Mr. J. H. Conway has for the past 20 years conducted one of the best known and most popular restaurants in Pooria. The leading business men of Pooria are among Mr. Conway's patrons. Mr. Conway has another son, William The image provided does not contain any text or images. It appears to be a blank or unmarked page with no visible content. Conway, who has made for himself an invulnerable reputation as a military man, he was recently elected as captain of Company K of the famous Eighth Illinois Infantry, National Guards. Mis company carried off the "Silver Regiment Cup" prize in a popular drilling contest. The Taft League of Illinois recently organized in this city, and an account of which was published in the last week's issue of Tau. AoL. has entered a campaign of hard work. They have secured and furnished attractive headquarters and are prepared to not the part of generous hosts to all comers. The list of membership is rapidly growing, and I am told that the Taft League will play no mean part in the comics election. Color Lines in Iowa While attending the State Association of Congregational Churches at Waterloo, Iowa, Rev. A. L. DeMond, a colored Congregational minister, who is pastor of the Congregational Church at Buxton, Iowa, was refused accommodation at every hotel in the city. Rev. DeMond was educated a Cortland, N. Y., and Washington, D. C., and has been engaged in educational, temperance and missionary work for the past 20 years. He is also editor of the Buxton Gazette and is one of the most widely known colored Congregational ministers in the United States.

"TAFT AND BRYAN NOMINEES" POLITICAL WISEACRES SAY Bryan Has Pledged Over 400 Delegates With Coming Conventions to Instruct for Him Taft Sentiment Gaining Ground Throughout the Country—New York State Particularly Active—City Organization Receives 10,000 Slips Weekly Favoring Taft. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 27—Taft and Bryan will be the respective nominees of the Republican and Democratic parties for President in November. Politicians of both political faiths who know how to size up a situation declare that it is useless to talk about the other candidates receiving the nomination. With Taft having more than the required number of delegates to nominate him, the "Allies" have begun to concede the Secretary's nomination at Chicago on the first ballot, and the Republican leaders are getting together to insure success at the polls next November. Despite the opposition shown to William Jennings Bryan by several of the Eastern newspapers, he is gaining delegation after delegation each week, and his recent victory in Alabama over Gov. Johnson has given the Johnson boom a decided set-back. Managers of Gov. Johnson are declaring that the tide will soon turn in favor of their candidate, but up to date Bryan has over 400 delegates instructed for him, with a number of Western and Southern States to hear from. Of a total of 670 delegates elected at the end of last week, Bryan had 410. Of the 260 uninstructed some are in favor of the "Free Silver Champion" and others are not. However, the managers of Bryan claim that when the other State conventions are held it will be clearly shown that the "Nebraskan" will have enough to nominate him on the first ballot. South Norwalk, Conn., are in the city for the summer season. Mr. Harry Ashbury, of the General Electric Company of West Lynn, has been granted a six world vacation. During this time Mr. Ashbury and his brother Ernest will look after their peach orchard and strawberry farm at Manchester, Conn. "Commemorate the day of John Brown's Death," written Mr. Washington.

The letter: May 18, 1908. My Dear Sir.—December 2, 1908, a little more than a year from now, will mark the half-century since John Brown, son of Osawatomie, died at Harper's Perry. The Negro people of this country reverse the name of John Brown. His death marked a date in their history. Perhaps no other man of the white race ever identified himself so fully with our race and cause. Others were wiser; others accomplished more, but the name of no one has impressed itself deeper on the hearts and minds of the masses of our people. It has been proposed that Negroes all over the United States should unite next year to commemorate in some fitting way the day of John Brown's death. In a letter dated January 27, of this year, Mr. Since the nomination of Taft seems inevitable, it has been surprising to note how the Taft boom has been growing throughout the country. This has been particularly true in New York State. In Central and Northern New York everything is Taft nowadays, and the Taft boom is beginning to assume huge proportions in New York City. At the headquarters of the Taft organization, Broadway, New York City, nearly 10,000 alps are being revived weekly, in which the audience attentive that Taft is their choice for President. A straw vote was taken a few days ago at Groweland, N. Y., at a Republican canoe, 14 members being present. The result: Taft 8; Roosevelt 1; Hughes 1; scattering 3; with Taft second choice. FEDERATION DAY. Women of Springfield Church Hold Intersecting Exercises. SPRINGFIELD, May 19.—Last Friday was "federation day" for the women's club. The Francis E. W. Harper Club THE HISTORY OF THE MUSEUM of this city celebrated this event with a banquet and literary exercises in the ventry of the St. John's Church. The officers and members of this club usually present to its guests on such occasions something well worth the while of attending, but they fairly outdid themselves on this occasion. After a pleasant toast at the banquet table, Mrs. Sarah Jacob, the club's president, introduced Miss Carrie Stewart as toastmistress, who served in this capacity in a very clever manner. The following toasts were called and responded to: "Ways and Means," Mrs. Edward Lee; "Education and Philanthropy," Miss Jessie Johnson; "Arts and Crafts," Miss Helen Garrett; "Mother's Clubs," Mrs. Sarah Jacobs; "Junior Department," Miss Abbie Ritter. The men as guests responded to the following toasts: "The Church," William Stewart; "Literary Societies," George Fraser; "Mutual Housing Company," David Johnson; "Catering," T. H. Johnson; "Secret Orders," J. A. Upsher; "Automobbling," R. J. Stowe; "To the Ladies," C. B. Hankins. About 75 persons were present. Sunday was women's day at the Loring Street A. M. E. Church, Rev. E. L. Bell pastor. The entire day was given over into the hands of the women. Their competency was shown in their well-written papers and addresses, the rendering of sacred and classical music, and their ability to enthuse their audience to the point of giving $30 leaves us to believe that they, too, know something about financiering. The main auditorium of the church was handsomely decorated with palm and cut flowers. The day's work was in charge of Meadamia Butler, Frieson, Bell and others. Next Sunday will be men's day. On the following Wednesday a banquet will be served as a recognition of the good work for the two days. Services at the Third Baptist Church were conducted in the foremoon by the Rev.

It has been supposed that Negroes all over the United States would meet next year to commemorate in more fitting the day of John Brown's death. In a letter dated January 27, of this year, Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, an editor of the New York Evening Post and a grandson of William Lloyd Garrison, writes referring to this matter: "In reply to your note in regard to the proposed John Brown celebration, it seems to me that that should be made the occasion of a national celebration by the colored people of this country. The motto of that would be John A. Andrew's famous sentence, 'Whatever one may think of John Brown's methods, John Brown himself was right.' The reasons for making it a noteworthy event are three-fold in my mind: 1. to show the gratitude of the colored people for John Brown's self-sacrifice; 2. to take this opportunity to remind the country as a whole how vastly better off, with all his handicaps, the Negro is to-day then he was in John Brown's time, and to measure again the progress upward of the race; 3. to incite the solidarity of the colored people. "I am taking the liberty of calling attention thus early to this date in order that the subject may be given the fullest and freshest discussion, so that it may be possible to arrange for memorial exercises widely of the event.

Dr. and Mrs. P. A. Johnson are receiving the congratulations of their many friends upon the graduating of their son, Travis J. A. Johnson from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University, New York City, on Wednesday of this week. The young man has the added distinction of being the first and only Negro to have successfully completed the four years course in constitution, and the second source of Ph.D. to his distinguished father, Dr. Johnson. The young doctor is 24 years old, the eldest of two children, his sister, Miss Elise Johnson, is one of the popular young school teachers of the city.

He list freshman year Johnson received 100 per cent in all subjects, maintained a high average throughout the four years and was never conditioned in any subject. Such a record in a college whose status is as high as Columbia's is an achievement to be proud of. The senior Dr. Johnson, who is the oldest and best known colored physician in Greater New York, years ago tried to matriculate at Columbia's medical college but without success, and many colored meq have been rejected. But it has been left to Travis Johnson to be able to successfully run the gamet of race premises, discrimination and hard studies and come out with honors. Dr. Johnson will in all probability practice medicine here in New York. An attempt was made to enter him on the staff at Lincoln Hospital, though considerable influence was brought to bear the attempt failed. The high wall of prejudice at Lincoln is as unsurmountable as ever and the powers are determined that no Negro shall practice in that institution. AFFAIRS AT MT. OLIVET CHURCH. X. W. Jackson and Committee Make Chargen Against Pastor M. W. Gill-bert. Editor of The New York Act—just another word regarding the affairs of Mount Olivei Baptist Church. It is important that the public know that a new Baptist role is presented in Mount Olivei Baptist Church, to the scheme of its affiliation. It is numbered published in the M. W. Gillbert's publications to become a member of that church under this scheme is not that one must have been converted, not that one must have been baptized, not that one must be living an upright and consistent life but simply and only that you are a level supporter of the pastor Row. M. W. Gillbert: Thank you. Are you among us in such living, slavish thinking that you most power in the church Godfrey? So deterred and perplexed in control of Mount Olive, the poorest in the throne in continental Africa, all the principles of the church, they are turning out the members in great distress, without preferring any charges, and without even a pretence of suppression that they are not allowed as they might be to the pastor. The fact is entirely lost sight of in this zero moment, partisan fight, that these members they have turned out are the oldest and best supporters of the church, and have contributed of their kind contributions for years to make this弊疽 a stress, and are all for the most part housed in the church. As an example of this high handl and tenebitious preoccupation, we will attention to the summary way the sect was dismissed from the church, and his 12 long years of faithful service could guillot him nothing. Even Mine Scott, who was the idol of the congregation as an organist, for more than 20 years saw the handwriting on the book of the church of the mind swept of these new idolates, who have seized upon the Lord's temple. It will require no thematician to calculate how long it will take to reach the end if this kind of thing is allowed to keep up. The natural tendency of this potion is to either join the churches, and the few who will be left will have difficulty in carrying the expenses of the church, and finally it may be lost to the race. We don't propose to allow this sort of high-handed procedure to continue, and the public can now see the reason for our fight, the justice of our cause, and the need for a modernization on our part to such gross oppression, and usurpation of power. We are pleased to inform the public that the strength of our case against Rev. M. W. Gilbert was fairly treated in the recent decision of Mr. Justice O'Gorman, of the Supreme Court, on the demurrier filed by the attorney for the reverenced doctor, to our complaint. The demurrier asserted that we had no cause of action, and that even if all we claimed was true, we could not put him on of the church in law. The court decided against this issue, which clearly表明 that at the trial, after a full hearing, if we can prove what we have alleged, as to the acceptance of his resignation, the reverend gentleman will be compelled to go. We feel that we are doing the public a service in this fight, because no good can be accomplished in this community by the mount Olivet Church until it is rid of Rev. Dr. Gilbert, and his high-banded and overbearing conduct. (Signed) X. W. JACKSON AND COMMITTEE. Bishop Dovett Prested—Rev. Stan- bervy and Andrew Bishop Dovett Prested—Rev. Stan- bervy and Andrew Last Tuesday evening the mass meeting called by Bishop Derrick at Cooper Union to pledge allegiance to the Republican party, was in a measure a success. A large gathering of enthusiastic men and women were present and evidenced great interest in the meeting by joining vociferously in the applause and general enthusiasm. The band played national and patriotic airs as only the New Amsterdam Band could play. The band was the national band raised annual enthusiasm interest. Everybody was there to do honor to the occasion, and demonstrated their loyalty to the Republican party. The names of the prospective candidates were loudly applauded, Roosevelt, Taft, Knox, Cannon and Hughes each receiving their share. But the great applause at the mention of Secretary Taft gave the meeting a kind of Taft leaning. The meeting was called to order about 9:45 by the women of the office with sufficient address of women. He said he was glad to see so many present on a summer evening. We are not gathered here to abuse anyone, but simply to ask for allegiance to the grand old party. Every man has a right to his opinion and we are not here to denounce. No respecting Negro can afford to announce his allegiance to the Democratic party. It was the Republican party, who in the dark days of slavery championed our cause. He was told the character of Lincoln, Douglas, Garison and other abolitionists who fought slavery. His address was full of interest and was concluded in the midst of applause. After the close of his address the band played "The Star Spangled Banner," after which Bishop Derrick introduced as the first speaker Dr. Stansberry, of Philadelphia. Bishop Derrick referred to Dr. Stansberry as one of the old war horses who had done so much for his race in the early days. Dr. Stainberry began by saying, "This is a pleasant retreat," and then he paid a tribute to Bishop Derrick by saying, "He had sounded the keynote in calling a meeting of this nature. We are, not, he continued, "To bring about harmony between the colored voters. That there is a difference of opinion among will will doubt, they are the ones who are most in the levelheaded men of the race." He played the Republican party and told what it had done for the black man. It has always stood for the best interest of the people at large. The Negro should stand by the old party and support the candidate who is nominated whether it be Tatt; Hughes, Knox, Cannon or Derrick. He said that you could not point to a single instance where the Democratic party had advanced the cause of the black man. He said he was well acquainted with Tatt; know he was an honorable man. Bishop Derrick then proceeded to introduce Governor Pinchback of Louisiana Governor Pinchback was greeted with tremendous applause and the Chantumau salute and the playing of the band. Mr. Pinchback was in good form and began his address thus: "When I was invited to speak on this occasion to remind the colored voters to stand by the party I thought carefully the issue that I thought carefully the matter and decided to come as an evidence of appreciation to the grand old Republican party. We have greavies but that grievance does not larr Taft. But will grievances cause us to forget the principles of the Republican party? Foraker is an honorable man, but he is not the candidate for the Republican party. Thank God I am now a citizen of the Empire State where my vote will count. I wish I could convene times for William Taft. Mr. Pinchback told of his career as United States attorney by theoyal of the Republican party and by the Royalist party. He urged his hearts to do their duty as citizens and voters. At the conclusion of his address the audience burst out afresh with applause and the band played the national air. The last speaker was introduced by Bishop Derrick as coming from the mother of Presidents, the State of Ohio, who was invited to say something for Ohio. The next speaker was Rev Robinson from Ohio. He said he was good of the privilege of being at this meeting. He told Bishop Derrick as the great leader of Taft as being a staunch friend of the case. He said he knew his attitude toward colored people and would be willing to vote should he be reelected. After the close of Rev Robinson's and Bishop Derrick said he was pleased at the meeting and agreed the colored men to do their duty. BALTIMORE CONFERENCE. Chances of Election of a Colored Bishop Groves Smaller—New Presbyterian Church. Everettton, May 25, 2013. During the last week the assays of the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church have been continued, with but little interest with respect to action to Afro-Americans. That body decided on Wednesday to list to elect right bishops and since that time a number of bishops have been taken with the result that only two of the eight bishops have so far been elected. In the next meeting of building in Cititique, the elected bishops, pulled a good vote,拍 almost 300. But now he has dropped away behind, with about 120 votes. Books as if no colored person will be allowed, in fact, by the formal withdrawal of De Mason from the race, it would seem almost a certain that such will be the case. Aside from the unanimous good treatment of the bishops, the unanimous good treatment of bodies, there is scarcely anything of special importance to Afro-Americans, to report. Incidentally the association of the co-ordinated and white delegates together in the General Conference is contributing much toward a better understanding between the races, and the diminishing of the "coloration." The public installation of the Rev W. Edward Williams as pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church is to take place on Wednesday evening, May 27th. The Rev Dr. Shaw, the Moderator of the Presbyterian, will preside; Rev Dr. Brunch is to presach the sermon; Rev Dr. L. Z. Johnson, of Madison Street Church, is to deliver the charge to the pastor, while the Rev Dr. McCurdy is to presach the charge to the Friday evening following the Instalion Aid Society of the church will tender a grand reception to the newly-installed pastor, the Zeus Art Club, of which Mr. Frederick Young is president, gave a most enjoyable reception and dance at Pae Academy last Friday evening. It was large; attended by the younger set. Mr. P. A. Coines, for quite a number of years the most efficient general secretary of our Y. M. N. A., will leave in a few days for Orange, N. J., where he has accepted similar work. Mr. Goines will be greatly missed in the city, for he was a man of great intellect, mastering opera intimately and helpfully into the life of the community. Mr. Geo. J. Brown, one of our best known caterers, has charge of the restaurant in connection with the General Conference where hundreds are fed each day.

Harmony has always been the slogan of the Republican party. That is one of the reasons it is in power to-day in both National and State politics. While the Democrats are holding turbulent State conventions and forming bolting parties, the Republicans are figuring on a harmony program at the Chicago convention in June. The most significant indication that there will be harmony at Chicago was the recent motion made in the Senate by Senator Foraker to defer voting on the Foraker bill for reinstatement of the Negro soldiers discharged on account of the Brownsville affair until December 16. Senator Foraker introduced the motion himself—he did not delegate another Senator to do it for him. He wanted to show the Republican party that he was a Republican and was for party success first, last and all the time. Of course the Democrats saw what was coming, and Senator Culberson moved that a vote be taken on the Foraker bill within a few days. He and the other Democrats were looking for campaign materials; they wanted to raise another issue among the Negro voters and put the Republican party on record. But harmony and party discipline are two valuable assets of the G. O. P. Before Senator Foraker had introduced the motion there had been a cloak room conference of the Republicans; so the suggestion of the Democrats that a vote be taken at a near date on the bill was of no avail, and the motion to defer action on it until December was passed. Within a short time The Ace predicts many other indications that there will be harmony at the Chicago convention. It would not be surprising to hear withdrawals of Presidential candidates any day. Rumor already has it that an agreement has been reached in Ohio whereby Senator Foraker is to join the Taft forces and be returned to the Senate. The factions in Ohio are beginning to get together and the fiery Senator from that State, who, has been such a strong champion in behalf of the Negro soldiers, will regard the reinstatement of the soldiers as a secondary consideration until after election. He is now out for Republican success. So much for Senator Foraker. But what about the Negroes who have been sounding the Senator's praises near and far? Who have been urging that he be nominated for the Presidency? Who have been proclaiming him a champion of the race? Will they continue to follow him, or will they become angered because of his exhibition of loyalty to his party and now call him an enemy and turn-coat? It must be remembered that four years ago these Negroes were equally, if not more so, enthusiastic over Theodore Roosevelt, who did more in the interest of the Negro than the Senator. They have seen fit to forget all he did for them. Such might be the case with Senator Foraker. For many of these men have either fallen out for good with "Gratitude" or else the two have been strangers all along. As to what nine-tenths of the Negro voters will do, we have no doubts. They will do just as Senator Foraker has done, get together and work for party harmony. In the first place, they know that Secretary Taft will be nominated at Chicago. In the second place, they know that by showing hostility to the Republican party they would not be benefiting themselves nor promoting the cause of the discharged soldiers. We believe that Senator Foraker has been sincere in his fight for the reinstitution of the Negro soldiers; we further believe that after election he will fight as hard for their reinstitution as he has been doing. But with election day in sight he deeps it opportune to let Brownville slumber until after November. Again will the Negro voters coincide in their views with the Senator? They will not forget the sollimits, but they will not be unusually for live on the subject until after elec-ron, when they will join hands with as itrator Foraker and others and try to It.

Conferenr to contemplate. As a matter of it will not matter much what Iowa. Kip, for only a few of them have Conferenr, in the patents long enough in their re- extension. foStates to do any voting by extension. Yet we know they have learned quite a lesson in the past and it is to be hoped that in the future, when they seek to bring about a desired result, they will conduct a clean campaign and resort to the same methods as used by Senator Foraker, who did no "mud slinging." For at all times he has had party harmony in view. INCONSISTENT ORGANIZATIONS WHAT MIGHT HAVE, IS ANY A few evenings ago at Newark a certain organization, supposed to be non-partisan in character, held a meeting which was advertised to be anything else but a political meeting. It had been originally agreed among the promoters that no political speeches would be made. However, before the meeting was half over some of the more enthusiastic members forgot their promises and made such long political speeches that all present clearly saw that the real backbone of the organization was political in its makeup. But the most significant feature of the meeting was the speech of a white man, the last and the only white speaker on the program. So radical and partisan were the utterances of several of these colored speakers that when it came his time to speak he advised those in the audience to stop talking politics for the giving and track more on "human rights" and what would be best toward promoting the welfare of the Negro in New Jersey. Strange to say, although this white speaker was of the same political faith as the Negro, speakers were supposed to be, he had grown tired of the partisan political speeches and wanted to talk to the people on broad and conservative lines. One of the objects of this organization is "To vote for those only who will declare themselves to stand up faithfully for the full enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments." Yet one of the principal speakers had declared that the Negroes should vote other than the Republican ticket in November. While the speech was received amid silence it showed how inconsistent the members of the organization are. On the same date this inconsistent speech was made a resolution had been introduced at the Missouri Democratic convention asking that suffrage be denied Negroes. At the same convention the thirty-six delegates were instructed to vote for William Jemmings Bryan at the Denver convention. While the resolution was defeated after a heated argument it goes to show what the Democrats think of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, and what they would do with them if that party could get into power. After the meeting in Newark two colored men were heard discussing the statement made by one of the speakers that the Republican party would hear from the colored voters in November. The conclusion reached by them was that if the colored voters assisted in electing Bryan President or any other Democrat they could not see what benefit Negroes would derive with the Democrats clamoring daily for the annulment of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. They decided to vote the Republican ticket in preference to the Democratic ticket. This paper does not deem it advisable to tell the Negro voters how they should vote at local elections wherein they have a grievance which they think can be righted by voting according to their views, but we do say that when a Negro votes anything but the Republican ticket at the coming Presidential election he is playing with fire, and will get scorched. Organizations that claim to be non-partisan, but are really launched for political purposes should remember that no Republican convention has entertained a resolution calling for the disfranchisement of the Negro. We should advise Negroes to be "wary" of such so-called "constitutional rights" organi- --- SOUTH CAROLINA'S OPPORTUNITY. From what we learn South Carolina presents an unusual political situation at this writing. Out of the eighteen delegates to the Chicago Convention thirteen of that number are colored, yet indications point to the election of a white man as National Committeeman from that State. It is very evident that if the Negro delegates get together they can elect one of their race as National Committeeman. Surely there are a few Negroes in South Carolina capable of filling the position. What is the matter with Dr. Crum, General Robert Smalls, E. H. Deas, J R Levy, W. T. Smith and T. L. Grent? Can't they fill the position credibly? Possibly all want to fill it at once. Let the Negro voters of South Carolina get together. Remember, in union there is strength. Let them unite on one of their number to fill the place. THE LILY WHITES. "Lily-Whiteism" is the meanest form of discrimination that has ever been employed against the Negro since he has been a citizen. It is a hydra-headed monster against which every fair-minded and just man, whether he be white or black, should make unceasing war. Singularly, enough, this contemptible, pernicious and undemocratic theory of government is nurtured by a coterie of men who call themselves Republicans. In fact, they do not possess a single element of the spirit of the men who were the fathers of the Grand Old Party. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1908. They are simply a lot of small, petty politicians who are Republicans for office only. Their sole purpose is to eliminate the colored voters in order that they may not be a factor in the distribution of the spoils of a Republican victory. It is the duty of every colored man in the country to make a bold and aggressive fight against the men who foster this unprincipled system. We do not believe that the leaders of the Republican party are in sympathy with the "lily-white" movement, and we appeal to them to help us destroy it while it is in its infancy. Ours is in theory at least a government of all the people, by the people and for the people. We do not intend to sit idly by and supinely submit to any such doctrine of citizenship as the promoters of "lily-whiteism" are trying to foist upon the country. Their conduct is an insult to every colored man with a spark of self-respect in his make-up. We resent it and we shall oppose it with all of our strength. As Lincoln said of slavery, "we shall hit this thing and hit it hard." Brethren of the press, we call on you to speak out in no uncertain terms—kill the reptile! We have had occasion in previous issues to call the attention of the citizens of New York to the Convention of Physicians, Surgeons and Dentists which will be held in New York City August 26-27-28. The physicians of New York and New Jersey are making great preparations for this meeting, and have invited the citizens of New York and vicinity to meet with them to mourn (Friday evening), at 8:30 at the office of Chief Edward E. Lee, 334 West 30th street. We earnestly urge our citizens to respond to this call. Dr. Johnson, the local chairman, will outline the plan of entertainment so far decided upon. Let us all join in giving the strangers a royal welcome. Remember it is up to us to help entertain these visitors and maintain the reputation of New York, being the most hospitable city in the Union. We can do it and we will do it. Come out Friday evening. The Women's Federation will convene in Brooklyn in August next. The women of Brooklyn and New York should begin active work preparing for this meeting. The time for the meeting is approaching and active work should begin at once. WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY Mr. Taft is the great American peace envoy. When anything is brewing the Secretary is sent to the scene; he looks concenial and jovial, and perhaps those qualities have great influence in the quarrels—Indianapolis Freeman. Out of all the pleas of Senator Foraker in behalf of justice and fair play, we have never heard of his advising anyone to vote the Democratic ticket. Senator Foraker is a Republican and so are we. The few Negroes howling against the party can do no harm as they have say to be swatched. Democracy—Topeka Plainlander. William H. Taft will be the Republican nominee for President. The returns are in, and the question is whether the agitation against Mr. Taft has run the gauntlet and those who oppose him now, are considering a reconsideration. The returns from States that have elected delegates full assure the able secretary of nomination. Those not elected to Jis interests. Cleveland Journal. It seems that the tidal wave of a more complete education in the public schools of the country is being pushed in the large cities. Recently St. Louis unified the city and moved to Lafayetteville. In raising the standard the Educational Boards did not overlook the teaching fraternity, gave them liberal increase in their salaries. We would like to show that the Education Department follows suit, most in our colored schools, for teachers are poorly paid. Owensboro (Ky.) Reporter. Now that the contest in the party is over for control of the party organization in the State and the choice of delegates to the National Convention, these questions should be dropped, all branches should be represented, all delegates parled for the contest against the common enemy in November. Had we had our choice the results would have been different but the constituted authority has been given and it is now the duty of every loyal Republican to acquiesce in that verdict. The man who will represent Kentucky Republicans at Chicago are able to win their spurs by valiant and effective service—Louisville American Baptist. We have no sympathy with those who would duk Dr. Booker Washington a president. We have no sympathy with Mr. Taft for President. Mr. Washington has as much right to his preferences as has any one else. He may be in the wrong recording one opinion is given, but he can begrateful to what each of those denouncing him claim for themselves. Because one does not agree with an opinion no reason why the com- putees should be for- forten—Nashville Globe. It seems as if the Democratic party has got into the rut that they some months ago charged the Republican party with being in—that is, they are divided. This, in our opinion, shows little progress on the part of the Democrats. It seems that they have decided to share the spoils with Mr. Bryan and another of their colleagues in our opinion, is that simply Mr. Johnson will get the honor of being agitated for President, and Mr. Bryan gets the honor of being agitated for President, and when the general轮到 is called neither of them will be blessed with this agitated honor. The Republican party, though a few months ago a little scattered and seemed to be fighting inside of its own circle, has about 100 members in mind of the American people has settled on William H. Taft as the man to be nominated next June in Chicago and elected at the polls next fall. We said some time ago that we believed that Mr. Bryan would be President and we think so still. He has served his country with a stateman's brain, a patriot's heart and a hero's body, in the positions already filled and he deserves to go up higher. He has been a good servant running on errands from the Philippines to Panama and from Russia to China. He is the highest place of service that this country can give: the White House at Washington. —Burton (Ia.) Ganette. What can we hope to gain now by announcing what we propose to do after the nomination is made? It is but to add to our difficulty in preventing it. We will have to deal with the nomination in the Republican party, the he wants to have that party retain its control of the government, and all for good and sufficient reasons. And as long as we can remain with dignity and self-respect, it is impossible to make the wisest, and best thing to do. Parties will not just as individuals, and it may be that now is a good time to administer some to our own party, but to give notice in advance of our intention will hardly effect much on the claim to have in view. It is one thing to mention the nomination for office by our party, and quite another because of that nomination to bolt the party and thereby cause the success of an opposition whose attitude towards us in all human probability must be ever assumed by the party we have defeated. Baltimore Afro-American Lodge. We learn from the Boston Guardian that a number of colored gentlemen purpose or representing themselves to be race leaders and members of the Essex county branch of a society known as the Black Rivers Club, attended the Democratic State Convention, held at Trenton, April 27, asking that convention to put forward for election to other "Those and those only" who will declare themselves ready, to stand for the fourth and fifth amendments and the constitutional rights of all American citizen irrespective to race or nationality. These gentlemen threaten a revolution in the State, claiming to be the first to oppose the New York delegation was composed of seven begrudged would-be race leaders who are clamoring for solitary gain and agrimentation. This committee was headed by James Churchman, president, the other members of the committee, M. Randolph, Solomon Porter Hood, Wallace, Wormley and Barrett. We would like to know where these "Big" men bail from, and upon whose authority they do not obey the New York vote. There are no other candidates not willing to bow to a wooled god or to be卧 like sheep to the slaughter Long Branch (N. J.) Echo. There will doubtless come to the minds of many colored people considerable courage and perseverance upon learning that on motion of their champion, Senator Foraker, the vote on the bills for the 25th Infantry has been postponed until next December. We are not surprised at it, and in fact have been expecting some such move for some time. These colored men who have been groomed and trained in the raking in of filth here will of course not be pleased and many honest men will be mistrusted. We think Senator Foraker acted wisely. Nothing could be more true. True it is that he might have endorsed the President, defeated some congressmen and made more uncertain the outcome of the next Presidential election. But he was not working to accomplish those goals, and the soldiers who were unhilfully deprived of their rights restored to the ranks. Defeating and endorsing some one else would not help them. When we bear in mind that the soldiers we see clearly that there was nothing else for Senator Foraker to do, Had he divided the party and caused a Democratic President to be elected there would certainly be no chance for them to succeed. We dropped until the next administration. Philadelphia Old Fellows, Journal. We command to Negroes North and South, a careful reading of Mr. W. J. Reagan's utterances respecting Negro disfranchisement in the South, published in the New York Times, and Carolina Democratic prescribing the mother by which the Negro is deferred from entering the hallowed presents of Democracy through the heavenly portals of the South, whether of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana or hot bowelwalled. Boston, after reading and dissecting these rules which have recently been published, recommends choice: Reagan, or any other Democratic candidate in preference of Taft or any other Republican candidate for President, may the God of mercy save preserve, preserve, and protect the South, even dent him, while his lunacy lasts.* The Republican party at its worst is indifferent to the Negro and acquiescent as to the wrongs inflicted upon him in the South: the democratic party proclaims that the Negro is a slave, aggressive oppressive and cruel, utterly regardless of the Negro's intellectual attainments, mental stature, or wealth, regardless of the taxes he pays, or the burdens of government which he bears;wegen of the Negro's burden in marriage and his persecution in law;good citizenship in peace to the upbuilding of the country, it demands his utter exclusion from all participation in the government; the abrogation of every right and privilege of citizenship in the United States; the inevitable and hopeless condition of a slave without a master responsible for his life, care and keep, but a slave to the masses; the ignorant, and vicious element of which restrained by no law in their personal affairs; the lack of cohesive acts of such brutal savagery as checks the civilization of the world. We warn our Negro brethren that it will be fatal to the best interests of the country. Democracy in our present perilous situation; fight those who appear unfriendly to our interests, within the party lines to the right, who don't cross, for it's hell on the other side. The Democratic party is steeped in sin and has grown need in its practice and there is little hope that it can be saved but the outcome will not be ample should come over it and it should invite the Negro to enter its fold as a man and citizen, it will then be time enough for the Negro to consider the invitation.—Suntar (S. C.) Defender. We think that Senator Joseph Benson Poraker, of Ohio, pursued a wise course in the United States Senate when he agreed to the postponement of a vote on the nomination of Senator Robert B. C and D of the 25th Infantry to all of their rights and privileges. The Democrats under the leadership of Senator Culberson endeavored to play a significant role in outgathered by the distinguished Ohio Senator. He was endeavoring to get a vote on his bill next Tuesday, but it was demonstrated that in the absence of Senators, this could not do as it would be a violation of a senatorial rule of courtesy and Senator Culberson, of Texas, knew it. Senator Poraker then moved that he made the special order for the Senate to override. On the part of the Democrats, Senator Collumser moved that the date for the vote be moved to May 16, 1908. He knew that the adoption of such an amendment was impossible. Senator Foraker moved to table the vote of 42 to 27. The motion as origi- ally made by him was agreed to. It was plainly evident by the vote on legislation that the Committee on Military Affairs that it was utterly impossible to rally enough Republicans to pass the measure with the Administration would vote with the Admin's intention's Senators. In December the appropriation and public buildings bills will be out of the way and President Roosevelt's influence on the wane. The Republicans in the Congress of the United States will not be hampered in their positions by the positionality of defey at the polls and will not have a freedom more in keeping with justice. Viewed from any standpoint it seems to us that Senator Foraker pursued a wine course and adopted a policy that will allow him to be a prominent man for whose behalf he has given his greatest efforts and expended much of his hard-earned money—Richmond Plumet. It has often been argued that the Negro has made a great mistake in the past by blindly voting the Republican ticket. That may and it may not be true. The get however remains that politically unskilled the Negro has always treated better by the Republican party. The Negro as a race has received less abuse and insults from platform and sway from the leading men of the Republican party. A President above all ought to be capable of rising above the little prejudices which characterize small souls. No we think if there were really serious intuitions of either remaining away from the North, or being a cratic ticket, the latest utterances of Bryan have changed the Negro - Columbia, S. (C.) Southern Age. The Negroes of the State of North Carolina are determined to place the Republican party on record at the forthcoming National Convention. District delegates have been named from the Eighth Congressional District to contest the seats of those elected at Taxslerville some days since why not? The Negro has been the support and main-tay of the party in the district, and cannot consequently turn him down, merely because he has been unfortunate in the laws disfranchising him. The Negro is wiping out his illiteracy and ever more unconscionently turn him down, now we care nothing for office but we demand the right to aid in the selection of those who are to rule over us. In this feel of unconscionancy, Weful is satisfied many of our number have not significantly advanced in the school of citizenship to rule in equity over others and so what the state and some Negro wants now grows out from the primaries of the Democrats, likewise the Republicans, denied sometimes the right to register and vote, he must rely on the last analysis to a condition little removed from the slave. With no voice in government all other rights may fade away, the right of population to vote must be restored. Such a condition cannot last. We cannot say from what direction success will come but come it will. In the meantime, Negro is going to work with the American citizen - Salisbury (N. C.) Piedmont Advocate. The colored man who even discusses the question of voting the National Democratic ticket at the election next November has in all probability been unbalanced in his campaign, many aggressions, we might say many shortening that lay at the door of the Republican party. The colored American in the South cannot avoid firing that the Republican party has done, in many things. As he suffers the many wrongs to which he is subjected he can but feel that a good part of it lies at the door of the Republican party of the nation, but he does not comment it to the colored man. It solidly opposed his enmilization, it opposed his being made a citizen of the nation, it has opposed every law intended to secure for him equal civil and political rights, it has opposed educational advance under State laws, and vet in the administration of these laws they draw the color line arbitrarily and without any pretense of fairness. It may be unreasonable to fail to understand the question of Constitutional allegiance to the Republican party, but never for a moment should he think of voting with the Democratic party. If the Republican party does not measure up to the standards it puts forward, then find some other party that at least promises to treat you better, and if you fail in this then do not vote at all. The report of the Senate Committee on the Brownville, shooting a man good in lesson in it for the colored man. Every Democrat on that committee voted to sustain the President although he is a Republican President, in face of that no evidence of insulting the soldier, simply because the soldiers charged were colored men. A major majority of the Republicans on the committee refused to vindicate notwithstanding the fact that they were notorious to uphold the President from part, considerations. Augusta (G.) Baptist. Buried. A merchant of a certain town in Illinois, one day entered the office of the editor of the only newspaper in the place. He was in a state of mingled excitement and indignation. "I'll not pay a cent for this," he said. "You told me you would put the notice of my spring sale in with the reading-matter." "And didn't I do it?" asked the editor, with reassuring gravity. "No, you didn't!" came from the frate merchant. "You put it in the column with a lot of poetry, that's where you go." —Northwestern Christian Advocate "LILY WHITES" IN VIRGINIA To Pull Wool Over Eyes of Negro Voters Thwarted—Solid For the Chicago Nominee—Deings of the "Committee of Seven" The mass (not delegated) State Convention was presided over by Col. Otis H. Briggs, a former chief of internal revenue and postmaster at Richmond, and at one time chief spokesman and high priest of Lily Whiteism in the State, but now uncontent with his role in the central office. Joseph R. Pollard, Esq., attorney-at-law and a former clerk in the U.S. Census Bureau, was made secretary of state. Thomas H. Briggs acted as chaplain. The presiding officer in the outset gave the hundred or more persons assembled in the hall to understand that he would be present in sympathy with the call of the meeting. Pointing to E. A. Randolph. Esq. and Charles Johnson, Jr., two avowed Tatters and a few others, he well held the hall as he did not intend to allow them a voice in the meeting. The meeting had not fairly settled down to business when the fun began, but as he said, suggested the appointment, by the chair, of a committee of three for each one of the several committees. This committee was Russell's way when he headed the Lily Whites, was met with a storm of protests, and was rejected, by the committees as being from each Congressional district, as far as they were present. Upon the re-entry of itself into committees, wedded, after which a short press was taken. When the meeting reassembled the several committees reported as follows: Delegates at Large, Otis Kussel (white), Richmond; John E. B. Boze (white), Lynchburg; James H. Hayes (white), Lynchburg; N. Foord (white), Rockingham; M. Frord was not present at the meeting. Alternates, Col. G. P. Alston (white), H. Mackmon (white), and Dr. John Mott, Benson and Joseph R. Collard (Nega) Electors, W. M. Lancaster and E. W. Morgan (whites). In the Richmond District one Negro and one white were elected delegates and alternates respectively, and for City Chairman a white man was elected, Otis H. Russell, white, was made State Chairman, Dr. J. A. Robbins, Charles Hammond, John Doles, James H. Hayes, Major J. R. Johnson, J. R. Wilson, Dr. P. Ramsay, W. A. Merygh and M. L. Perkins were elected a committee on permanent commissioners, with each fill all names and to manage the affairs of the insurgents. Resolutions were adopted endorsing the principles of the National Republican party and pleading the support of the meeting to the party nominees at the Chicago Convention. After another specifical, the pasting adjourned, sine the convention was an labor about two hours and finally brought, forth an almost white mouse. The meeting of this great "Anti-Lily-White" convention had been heralded from the mountains to the sea for "weeks and weeks" and yet it brought together fully eighty per cent, of whom live right here in Richmond. There were nine white men in the meeting. Of this number this "Anti-Lily-White" gathering made one man the man State Chairman, made one large committee of the meeting; two others were made delegates-at-large, and two alternates-at-large; two were made electors-at-large; one each was made a delegate, an alternate and an elector from the Richmond City Committee; one each was made a man of the Richmond City Committee. The wonder of it is that it not more than one white absentee was named as a delegate or elector from some one of the Committee, but the Committee onPermanent Organization will look out for that. I suppose. later increased by the addition of a proverber and an editor—all good ties and venience in their calling professions, in their office, in a job lot and an indifferent gift at that. That they were not practical is shown by the fact that before the regular Republican primaries we held they gave us meetings. We held meetings. They hired halls in which to tell it to the gaping crowds and to have it heralded throughout the remotest it in Gath; Commonwealth. They told it in Gath; publicity. They told it in streets of Aske洛. and then when they met with crushing defeat they set up a cry like a feeful child, and may to the people a cease party, Virginia, ain't go play the game. They telegramged to Dr. Sinclair, "We have met the enemy and—we are their!" He comes again to Richmond and lactus solution and insurrection, all of which are important to all they are from a political standpoint. The Negro vote in Virginia, the remnant left since Democratic disfranchisement, will not permit itself to be forced to wear the collar of any political factor or clan. It is a vote that is not to be transferred nor assigned at the pleasure of the governor, but would use it for personal grandizement. This vote is not an involuntary one, consequently no set of men nor individuals would be trusted in bankruptcy of that vote, thinking that they having in keeping all the rights and privileges which that vote possessed in the state of solvency is an assurance of trust in the government. This "Committee of Seven" may mean well, but their doing are not construed that way by the Negro voters of the state of solvency, as an assurance consulted as to who is the preferable Presidential candidate of the many aspirants in the Republican ranks. Their way to the noracle of Apollo to whom the must be sent is like many of the priests who managed the temple in the sanctuary at Helpl, some of them have lost their reputation honesty and impartiality in matters political. Let the pharmacist cease not the rolling of pills, the dentist from relieving the physician from ministering to the physician'siments; let the preacher continue to pour into the wounded, bruised soul the oil and wine of joy and righteousness; let the physician possesses, and the editor give to us through his editorial utterances that advice that will tend to elevate and educate; but in the name of a vote that was not a vote, and in the name of a vote that was larger and more ignorant than what it now is, we would say, "Hands off, gentlemen, for it is ours to act as fraternal and independent American citizens." The president in Virginia is not Lily-White, and would not be so characterized by the insurgents had not the party in delegated convention of the president in Virginia to be Virginia's choice for Presidential honors. And because Virginia is for Taft, does that make the party any more Lily-White than the one in Ohio, in California or Connecticut? It is not to be taken that the entire Committee of Seven" was actuated by such purposes because some of them really well will be one or two of them who were at work for solitary purposes only and were distrusted by even those whom they had been working with. In order to lend color and honesty of purpose to their movement, they thought if they could succeed, under the guise of anti-Lily-Whitism, in pulling the wool over their mittens, they would be given prestige sufficient to be in a position to fool the Negro electorate of the epithe State and the Secretary Taft, crying, "Taft is Lily-White!" this they have failed and the Negro vote is intact and will remain solid for the Chicago nominees to which indication must be obloo.

To the editor of THE NEW YORK ACE, write to commend your editorial in *The Independent*. Your utterance is neither the idle vipards of a partisan nor the theories of one too biased to see conditions as they really exist. A certain idea of the Democratic party should think they can offer our condition by breaking away felt by the Republican party and voting the Democratic ticket they should not try to lead the race into the Democratic shambles. It ought to be enough to know that the Democratic party has always stood for all legislatures and should humiliate and degrade the Negro. President Rosevelt may have made a mistake in too hastily ordering the discharge of soldiers. Others for the shooting in Brownville, Texas but came under the condition by flocking into the Democratic party? Does not Tillom, Vardeman, Carmack, Jeff Davis, Heflin and all that class of rabid, fire-eating Democrats in the South but cannot mitigate without mitigation? Do they not boast of their method of disfranchising the Negroes in the South? Again, this class of Democrats has been aided and aided by their wealth toward Negroes by the so-called "illy white" Republicans. Let them all alone. Respectfully, F. M. ABOYLE.

GUS HILL'S PLANS Gus Hill, owner of the Smart Set Company, and one of the largest producing managers in the popular-price show business, is fostering a number of pet plans, which, if he puts them into execution, will make the heads of popular-price aircuits sit up and take notice. According to Gus Hill, he is going to produce colored shows on a larger scale. Several days ago the writer had a thirty minutes' talk with Gus Hill, who, during that time, enthusiastically spoke on what he intends to do and what he is already doing toward realizing one of his favorite business schemes. And he declares that he is serious regarding the promotion, too. Right on the heels of two Negro theatre failures, Gus Hill comes out with the statement that he intends to establish colored stock companies in four cities—New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. Three weeks ago the colored theatre in Montgomery, Ala., was closed because of lack of patronage. The week following the management of the Dufibar Theatre, Columbus, O., was compelled to disband its stock company on account of bad business. Regardless of these failures Gus Hill declares that he is going to expend over $40,000 in establishing stock companies in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. When asked if he thought that recent failures of colored stock companies indicated that the times were unfavorable for launching colored theatres, he said: "The failures encountered by the promoters of the two colored theatres you mention do not necessarily mean that at this time a colored theatre would not prove a paying investment in either New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore or Washington. In the first place, I would not have thought of putting a white stock company in either Columbus or Montgomery—let alone thinking of trying to make a colored stock company pay. In selecting the four cities above you can readily see that I have in mind the population, taking into consideration that the companies will draw both the white and the colored citizens. There is not a city I have chosen that won't support a colored theatre. Location is another thing to be considered—a factor some of the managers don't give enough attention." The speaker was asked if he had decided on any sites in any of the cities up to date, to which he replied: "I have been carrying on negotiations in the four cities for several weeks, but up to this time I have not leased a theatre. However, in each city I have one or more sites under consideration. In Washington I am having the most difficulty, as they seem to be averse to having a colored theatre there. But I am sure I will lease a theatre in that city before many weeks have passed, for I have gone so far as to try to get the National Theatre. In Baltimore I am trying to get either the Holliday or Blaney's; in Philadelphia I am negotiating for the Standard and Forenough's, and in New York they are willing to lease me the Garrick Theatre, now a first-class house, providing I lease the place for a long term of years." The question was asked if there would be any color line drawn at these theatres—if the management was to cater to both colored and white patrons. To this question Gus Hill said, "It is, of course, my intention to cater to both races, as it is a business proposition with me, and I am not looking at it from a narrow or a prejudiced standpoint. Knowing, however, that some little prejudice is bound to exist even by some white people who will attend these theatres, I have given the subject of how I can make the seating arrangements satisfactory to all concerned no little thought. The best plan seems to be as follows: In New York and Philadelphia, where there is not so much prejudice, I would provide that seats be sold to any applicant, irrespective of the person's racial identity. However, in Baltimore and Washington a different arrangement would have to be made, and I think an idea that would meet with the approbation of all. Down stairs I would have every other row of seats reserved for the colored patrons. In that way there would be no discrimination shown in the matter of disposing of the best seats. All would get seated according to the price paid for seats." If all negotiations can be successfully consummated the four theatres will be opened by Fall. Each theatre will have a large stock company, composed of forty performers. Up to date no talent has been employed, the securing of the theatres being the first object of the promoter in view. Establishing colored theatres in four of our largest cities would mean opposition to Stair and Havlin, heads of the popular-price theatres throughout the country. That is, unless the colored shows when playing these cities would play at the theatres managed by Gus Hill On this subject he stated that his theatres would not mean that there would be any opposition to Stair and Havlin; that arrangements could be made whereby the colored shows could play at his theatres. In so doing he would book his stock companies out of town during the weeks the respective colored shows played at his houses. GUS. HULL. which would prove beneficial to all concerted. If Gus Hill really intends to install colored theatres in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington it will mean the employment of about 160 colored artists, according to his figures. We all know that the four cities mentioned should have had colored theatres long ago; we also know that for several months rumor after rumor has been sent out that each one of these cities was to have a colored theatre, to be managed and controlled by colored men. But so far it seems that white capital will have to bring about the long desired result. The writer would have preferred an interview with Robert Motts, of Chicago, or a company of colored men about colored theatres they contemplated establishing in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, but it seems that such is a dream too good to be true. Probably the day is not far distant when some of our business men will be able to see as Gus Hill the possibilities in the theatrical business, and take advantage of their opportunities. However, if Gus Hill sees fit to expend large sums of money toward launching colored theatres, and will make it possible for a large number of colored performers to earn a living, if his stock companies give meritorious shows worthy of our patronage, then we should give his theatres our undivided support. All Large Colored Shows Closed for Summer. The theatrical season of 1958-59, so far as the large showcases are concerned, closed last week when the Williams and Walker Company and the "Black Patti" Company disbanded. The other large shows closed several weeks ago. Many of the performers are going into vauille or join summer shows until rehearsals are called. Vanderville Notre Williams and Walker's "Bob Tom Ruddy" act opened at Young's Pier, Atlantic City, Monday and was one of the hits of the bill. Harrison Stewart has returned from Washington, D.C., where he went last week to attend the funeral of his father. The Kraynes are at Hammersstein's this week. They have one of the most novel acts in the business. Next week Williams and Walker enter vauville for a limited engagement. They open at the Colonial Theatre. Brown and Navarre have returned from their long Western tour over the Orpheum Circuit. Tom Brown is sporting a young monstache. Cole and Johnson are the hit of the bill this week at the Alhambra Theatre. Since their opening at the Colonial they have made a number of changes that contribute to the success of the play. Alberta Brodie, of Brodie and Brodie, will, after an absence of seven years, return to America next month from Europe. She will be the guest of her mother, Mrs. J. F. Oliver, at Kings Highway, Brooklyn. Prof. H. Lawrence Freeman, for two years musical director of the Ernest Hogan Company, and recently musical director at the Tekan Theatre, is taking a short vacation at Peru, Ind. His wife and son are with him. The Vaughners are leading a strenuous life these days. Last week they played Inman's Coney Island, which means four performances a day. This week the male member of the team is doing park work at Passie. Rayah Hamilton is appearing at the Black Eagle, a German theatre opposite the Yorkville Theatre, in an act that is the hit of the tour. During the act she sings in five languages. When she sings a German song she stops the performance for several minutes. The summer show that opens next GUS. week at Willimantic, Conn., is meeting with great success. This week the company is playing at Norwich, Conn. Among those making good are Sydney Chase, Maimie Farber, Grace Hoyt and Jessie Hulbert. William Harper, of Harper, Desmond and Hilliard, took out a park show this week that opened Monday in Long Island. In the company are McKissick and Shadney, Clio Desmond and Walter Hilliard. To Mattie Phillips is due the credit of putting on a refined vaudeville show at Gruenwalds, Coney Island. For many seasons the shows put on at this house have not been up to the standard. This season a clean vaudeville show is being given. This is the second week of the "Ten THE NEW YORK AGE: 1 HURSDAY, MAY 28, 1908 ```markdown ``` MNE, L. AZALIA HACKLEY, who is successfully touring the West. Dark Knights" at Henderson's Coney Island. So great was their success last week that the management requested that they remain a week longer. The act is one of the best of its kind seen for a long time, and is full of ginger from the start to the finish. Jack Smith is being featured. Others in the act are Menaa Toliver, Warefield, Bosaw, Mobley, Smith, Bartlett, Collins, Brown and Scott. They have been booked by Pat Casey over the Western States Circuit, and will open at Spokane Falls, Wash., June 9. "The Atonement" Sung at Baltimore. BALTIMORE, May 27—Last Thursday evening the Coleridge Taylor Choral Society, of Washington, D. C., rendered Coleridge Taylor's "The Atonement" at Albaugh's Theatre under the directorship of Prof. J. T. Layton. The affair was a success so far as the rendition of the piece was concerned, but from a standpoint of patronage the promoters were greatly disappointed; as the citizens did not give the event the consideration it meritoriously deserved. Sportsful Medical at Providence PROVIDENCE, May 27.—Last week a most successful musicale was held at the Y. W. C. A. under the auspices of the Good Cheer Branch of the Sunshine Club, Miss Halie Q.

Boston, May 27.—Clarence Cameron White, of Washington, D. C., appeared in an all-star concert at Charleen Street Church last Friday before an audience which well filled the floor of the church. The audience was very appreciative and encored each number. Mr. White was in fine fettle and, in the opinion of many Bostonians, established himself as the premier of Negro violinists. Others on the program were Mrs. E. Koosa Hutchins, planet, of New England Conservatory; Miss Genevieve Lee, Boston's well-known contralto; Mr. W. H. Richardson, harpine, and Miss Elizabeth Howard, soprano, of New York City, who made a most favorable impression. Pokin Likely to Close for Summer. CHICAGO, May 27. It is rumored that Robert Motts contemplates closing the Pelican Theatre for the summer. According to reports the little playhouse will be closed within a few weeks. If such a policy is pursued it will be the first time in the history of the theatre that it has been dark during the summer months. Bad business is said to be one of the reasons that is causing the management to consider the practicability of a summer closing. WASHINGTON, 1. D. C., May 27.—Justice Anderson in Circuit Court No. 1 recently handed down a decision declaring that a theatre proprietor has the right to refuse anybody admission to his playhouse, even if the ticket has been purchased. The court further held that a who is successfully touring the West. theatre proprietor can revoke the ticket even after the purchaser has taken his seat, and that the patition can be expired, provided no more force is used than is absolutely necessary. The decision was rendered in the case brought by a white manistin. The color line was not brought into the proceedings, but as Chase's Theatre was the theatre in dispute—a house which refuses to admit colored people to any part of it, the decision favors the Chase anti-Negro policy. It is not likely that the theatres that have been more liberal with their colored citizens will take advantage of the court's decision. Great Interest Being Shown in Alda Overton Walker, Benefit Unusual interest is being shown in the Adea Overton Walker benefit, to be given June 11 at Grand Central Palace, Elstree and Lexington avenue, for the benefit of White Rose Industrial Home which is maintained for colored working girls.

Ada Overton Walker will sing and dance and will be supported by her generous dancing girls. Ada Mitch Cook will sing, and other favors will participate. Anna Cook Pankey Seriously Ill. Anna Cook Parky, prima donna of the Cole and Johnson company, has been so seriously all at her New York home with appendicitis.

However, she is convalescent, and the doctors predict that she will be up shortly. Concert at Springfield, Mass. SPRINGFIELD, Mass. May 26—The musical and literary concert rendered Friday evening at the Third Church with Mine. Denby, of Boston, as the principal feature, was attended by an audience of about fifty people.

The comedy was written by Miss Wilhelmia B. Morton and is in four acts. There are some very funny lines in the play and the audience seemed to enjoy the performance imminently. Miss Morton was amusing at times and was able supported by the other members in the cast. Mme. Estelle Pinkney Clough, prima donna of Worcester, Mass., and Miss Harriet Clough, pianist, of Worcester, Mam, were entertained during their brief stay in Manhattan by Mrs. A. Trotter-Wilson, at her residence, 51 West 154th street. According to Ernest Hogan Mme. Clough is one of the most promising colored singers in the United States. At the musical reception were also Mme. Marterite Randall, Mecara. A. H. Bowers and K. W. Justice, of Manhattan. Summer Hall was crowded last Friday evening, the occasion being the presentation of a drama entitled, "The New Proofessor." A musical and literary program preceded the drama and was enjoyed by all present. The artists who composed the drama rendered their respective parts excellently and were applauded to the echo. Rev. N. Peterson Boyd, pastor of St. Philip's P. E. Church, spoke commendingly of the efforts of the young people. The drama was given under the auspices of St. Philip's Boys' Brigade. "The Affinity," produced last Friday evening by Messrs. Pryor and Moseley at Palm Garden, was an artistic success, and was witnessed by a large and appreciative audience. Pryor and Moseley showed themselves to an advantage and the comedy permitted them to show their little versatility. Mr. Pryor acted the role of John Hoodley, a West Point cadet, and Mr. Moseley as Cecil Etherington, an English nobleman. Others in the cast were Grace Lee, Hechtert Amos, Joseph Chadwick, Marguerite H. Brown, Mrs. O. L. Hooper and Rosalie Scott McClendon. Young Colored Man, Loses Friend in Death of Peter F. Dalley. At the funeral Tuesday of the late Peter F. Dailey, the well-known comedian, who died suddenly last Saturday at Chicago, of all the mourners George Friedland, a young colored man, took the death of the popular comedian most to heart. Friedland has been with Peter Dailey for a number of years during which time a warm friendship was formed that made the two inseparable. The comedian treated Friedland as a companion, and many has been the time that he has left a hotel because the young colored man could not secure accommodations. Whenever Peter Dailey appeared in vaudeville with a big act the management of the act was given to Friedland, who collected the money and paid off the people. It has not been so long ago that Peter Dailey purchased a house in Orange, N. J., for Friedland's mother.

OLIVER Proprietress Screechers Put Out of Lime Light Through Various Agencies—Notes of Churches and People of City BOSTON, May 18.—Boston is growing more conservative. The sentiment of our people here, in times past kept in a live ferment of excitement by the aimless, incessant agitation of our hysterical radicals is now finding expression in real constructive efforts, both individual and co-operative. Boston's Negroes, more largely than ever before it seems, are going into business, buying property and talking common sense. Many organizations are mentioned in this column from time to time, such as the Cambridge Rod and Gun Club and the Phalanx Associates and the Boston Elks, which are purchasing or preparing to purchase their own property. Many race enterprises such as a newspaper, a private hospital, a private school, a commercial ventures, all have started in the recent past. While many of these have started with small and unpretentious beginnings, the growth of investment and the gradual quieting of the colored citizens' unrest. This reduction of radicalism has been due perhaps to three things: the recent growing conservatism and the practical policies the country has enacted to widen the field of industrial education and the preservation of the country's natural resources, have been contagious to the colored people here as elsewhere. There has been as a second contributing cause, the large and constant demand for New York and the South and West, drawn here by the inducements of better wages, better school advantages and political and civil privileges. But by far the greatest cause contributing to the present happy efforts of our people hereoutstaffs is the increasing interest in astonine and belligerent faction of radicals. Through various agencies, this noisy band has been reduced to a single screecher, but we must admit that that weekly editor-screecher Hall, "the cradle of liberty," no longer, as in days of rory, resounds with this band's martial notes and its long-range gunners. With the colored preacher who saw the G. P. sign on the heaven. Boston's Negroes have been teaching and have gone to making impressions.

The Boston Historical and Literary Society, by the way, is not what its name represents. The Society's name is "Suffering" League, who control its policy.

NEGRO STIRS CONFERENCE "Forget the Color of My Skin," Pleaes Dr. Scott. From Baltimore Sun. "I beg you to forget the color of my skin and the past history of my race. Remember only the cry of the Master and give me the money and equipment to carry on His work to the field to which you have sent me." These words from Rev. Dr. I. B. Scott, missionary bishop to Africa, who is considered one of the ablest colored men in the world, aroused more enthusiasm than anything he had ever encountered. General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church at the Lyric yesterday. The whole gathering spontaneously began when he concluded a few of the delegates audibly voiced their views by saying to each other: "He ought to be made a bishop." Scott made a better impression than any colored man who has yet addressed the Conference: Mostly, but graphically, he told of his work in the Republic of Liberia for the last four years, when he came into contact and of their tremendous desire for preachers and teachers and his utter inability to supply this demand. He told how he traveled to reach those "raw heathen" and of a visit paid him by the old king of an island tribe that had never seen a missionary to see of him to send them one, and of promise to do so at the first opportunity. The progress of Christianity in Liberia was sketched interestingly by Dr. Scott, who declared there had been 2,131 converts in the country in 1970, the number of Methodist Episcopalians in the republic now being more than 4,000, which figures were applauded by the Conference. "One in Liberia," he said, "is received in our Church who does not pledge himself to abstain from intoxicating liquor and who, if he has been a polygamist, does not pledge himself to give up all except one wife," as a pathetic failure. "He is a pathetic failure of ignorant and deprived human beings and hear them beg for preachers and teachers as they would beg for bread, and not be able to give them to them, and more workers was a stirring one, and likened himself to a young native who could swim and who was thrown out of a boat into the Nile with his hands tied behind." "Little pay hands," he urged, "and let me do the work I can do." Eric Notca. Joseph, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Day departed from the life Thursday, May 11.

Commission Arrives and Expresses Concerns Viewed in Future of Country. **Greek** On the Hamburg-American Line steamship Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, from Europe, which came in Saturday last, were five members of the Liberia Commission, that come to migrate to the African west coast. The party consisted of Thomas Paulknner, Dr. Garret Wilson, former president of Dasson, President Dasson, vice-president of the republic, and Charles Branch, secretary of the commission. Dr. Gibson is the only American of the party, having been on the South and emigrated some years ago. According to this interesting group of colored men Liberian holds out a wonderful opportunity to the Negroes of America if a direct vote was possible by Liberian products directly to this country. “There are 42,000 square miles of territory in Liberian,” Dr. Gibson “and there are 5,000 voters of a const population of about 400,000 which are being gradually civilized. While the soil is not particularly fertile the climatic advantages of Liberian are such that good crops would ensue if the right man were there to till the ground and the strong people would help Liberian instill. We are here to interest capitalists and we are also here to insist the interest of President Roosevelt in Liberian's future. There is gold in the interior, according to Sir Henry B. Todd, who wanted the American Negro to come to Liberian and make a strong nation. Liberian is the smallest of the republics. It has been an independent country since 1847, and has been recognized by America 1975. The only place we look for institutional and the proper facilities to market our goods.” The Liberian delegation was met down the bay by L. G. Chamberlain, president of the United States Colonization Society and the United States Dr. Chamberlain is a white man. He will introduce the visitors to the President.
