Well Known Business Men of St. Louis Favorable and Advocate Support of Republican Ticket HON. J. MILTON TURNER'S STATEMENT Prominent St. Louisians Assert 'it the Duty of the Negro Who Has Interest at Heart to Vote for Taft and Sherman—Sound Utterances Relative to Brownville Agitation St. Louis, June 29.—Many Negro Republicans in Missouri have come out openly for Secretary Taft, for president since the Chicago Convention, and present indications point to the "Mysterious Stranger" again casting its electoral vote for the Republican party—it is up to the Negro vote to accomplish that end. In the last week such well known business men as Paul W. Mosely, Bismarck Lavine, William Mosby; professional men as Dr. W. P. Curtis, Dr. T. A. Curtis, Dr. George Cattrell, and men well known in public life as the Hon. J. Milton Turner, ex-minister to Liberia, Editor P. 14. Murray, of the St. Louis Advance, Editor John Wheeler, of the St. Louis Palladium, Charles Turtur, C. C. K. McGee, of the national body of Knights Phyllas, have announced themselves favorable to Secretary Taft and say they will support the Republican ticket in November first, last and all the time. Several of the above mentioned have opposed the 'nomination of Secretary Taft, particularly Editor Murray. Now, all declare that it is the duty of every Negro who has the interest of the race at heart to vote for Taft and Sherman. The country to support Negroes ticket the Hon. J. Milton Turner made the following statement to a representative of THE ACE: amount consequence, and to my mind renders it the duty of every Negro to support and vote for the nominees of the Chicago convention. Unhalt Ballet Conditions. "I am in no wise unmindful of the unjust condition of the American ballot as obstructed and prevented by the constitutions of the Southern states. Shoot follows the manner that correlated advice of certain very intellectual and race-love-loving men to denounce the work of the Chicago convention and seek the defeat of the Republican party? I have only to ask' in the language of the Good Book, 'Whither shall we go; there is no other pool?' Ownership of Soil. "During these forty years, more or less, of the Negro enfranchisement in our country his hapless condition has mostly arisen out of his ack of ownership, the economic, has laid it down an infallible rule 'that a man can not govern where a man does not own. He has said again that 'where a people were tillers of the soil, frugal of habit, and built the home, they were aggressive upon capital, and came ultimately to own the soil they tilled.' With the Negro at the South, where, he is the principal industry, and equally powerful numerically, we have manifold evidence in his wage-earning com-munity." "I have never thought my opinion of enough consequence upon the so-called Brownville difficulty to make any public expression relative thereto. However, now that so much agitation has caused that matter to take a somewhat more serious form, it becomes the duty of every Negro than what he may to prevent the extremes from bringing more woe than weal to the destinies of the Negro. Constitutional Limitations. "The constitution of the United States creates the United States army and navy and makes the president commander-in-chief of both those establishments. It also makes the American congress, under the constitution, the creator of all necessary legal checks and limitations for the government and direction of the president, acting in his capacity as commander-in-chief of the navy. The constitution goes further and aims at the greater courts of the government at Washington the final interpreter of the spirit and intent of the organic system in the creation of these respective departments of the government of our Republic. Rosevelt's Constitutional Power. "President Roosevelt may or may not have exceeded his constitutional power in his summary dismissal 'without honor' of the Negro soldiers at Brownsville as created by the authority quoted above. In any case, the clamor and public agitation for redress is, in my opinion, somewhat untimely, not to say unreasoning. We have before us, first," the exercise of the constitutional power of the president as commander-in-chief; second, we have before us the exercise of the power of the United States in ducting an investigation of the proper or improper act of the commander-in-chief of the armies and navies of the United States. An Unjust Attitude. Meantime the question of adjudicating this matter has never as yet reached the consideration and determination of the supreme court of the United States. Hence, it does seem to me that all ill-meaning clamors and agitation among the people condemnatory of the president's order are premature and ill-advised. In other words, are not some of the Negro populace of the United States assuming the same summary and anjust attitude towards the Roosevelt vow which they claim Mr. Roosevelt summed up the Negro soldier, to-wit, condemning him without trial? Inconclusive Deassociation. "At Chicago a few days ago, while an attendant upon, indeed 'a mere looker-on in Venice', at the national convention, I could not resist the conclusion that much of the demonstrative denunciation of Secretary Taft was inconsistent in that it blamed and denounced Mr. Taft for obeying the instructions of his commander-in-chief. Notwithstanding the official risk of contesting the order of the president until it was necessary for the president to insist upon its issuance, "I cannot concede that some of my lifelong intimate friends in public and private life have assumed a strongly based position in that they are insisting that had white soldiers instead of black soldiers been accused of shooting up Brownville the president would have made a more thorough investigation of circumstances because of rededictions. The content of all the president's official-conduct wherein the race issue has been paramount is too well emphasized to warrant accusation in this instance of abstract prejudice. The Chicago Platform. The platform of the party-at Chicago has the same bonorable and ancient ring, swerving neither to the right nor left in its insistence that the war amendments are as much a part of the government as are all other provinces of the constituting of the government at Washington. This fact alone seems of per- amount consequence, and, to my mind renders it the duty of every Negro to support and vote for the nominees of the Chicago convention. Uafnet Ballet Conditions. "I am in no wise unmindful of the unjust condition of the American ballot as obstructed and prevented by the constitutions of the Southern states. Should we follow the somewhat overheated advice of certain very intellectual and race-loving men to denounce the work of the Chicago convention and seek the defeat of the Republican party? I have only to ask" in the language of the Good Book, 'Whither shall we go; there is no other pool?' Ownership of Soil. "During these forty years, more or less, of the Negro enfranchisement in our country his hapless condition has mostly arisen out of his lack of ownership of the soil. Adam Smith, the great economist, has laid it down as an infallible rule 'that a man can not govern where a man does not own.' He has said again that 'where a people were tillers of the soil, frugal of habit, and built the home, they were aggressive upon the soil.' And now, over the soil they tilled.' With the Negro at the South, where, he is the principal industry, and equally powerful numerically, we have manifold evidence in his variegated skinned complexions that there is really no objections to him on account of his color. "The apprehension of his presence in that section arises rather from his zest for the text book rather than from his zest for gradual, but natural, aggression upon capital, and as his positive trend ultimately to own the soil he is tilling in the Southern states. The 'Jim Crow car and other impossible scarerows must disappear rapidly as the organization of organized capital. In more than one instance the evolutions of his condition have discovered his educators, who stand fully abreast with the best in the world. With almost the entire nation and the world insisting upon his mental and moral culture his educational improvement is secured beyond all possible question. The most casual glance into the social and industrial condition of the average American that he already has sufficient money resources, if properly combined and directed, to enter the financial, commercial and manufacturing arenas as effectually as he has already conquered his way in the rice, tobacco, sugar, turpentine and other agricultural fields. Brighter Prospects. "As I have already remarked, his educators have come. God, Almighty, does nothing by halves, and the day is not far distant when Negro financiers will appear in Wall street, and organize his disjointed capital for such powerful investments as compel the Jim Crow legislators to disappear and bring him again into political co-relationship, evolving from ownership." SIXTEEN STUDENTS GRADUATE Ten Secure Positions—Home-Made Devices Attract Attention. CHEYNEY, Pa., June 22—Sixteen students received their diplomas to day of graduation. Cheyney, Pa. The graduates have completed a professional course of training for teaching in the following courses: Four in domestic art, five in graphic design and four in academic subjects for the graded schools.

Professor Washington is a happy parents and friends of the students, with large numbers of visitors who are interested in the growth of this unique institution, carefully inspected the building by the students of the school. Their enthusiastic comments indicated that the inspection gave satisfaction in every particular. Among the many attractive features the visitors saw the well-kept dormitories, the classrooms, the various homemade devices of the pupils that have been added as permanent fixtures of the school plant, the large exhibit of student work in sewing, millinery, basketry, cookery, laundry, woodworking and written work in academic subjects. Several of the 'home-made devices attracted considerable attention' by reason of their usefulness, ingenuity and workmanlike finish. For instance, there are several lamps in the school operated somewhat as follows: The oil for lighting purposes is piped into the building from an outside tank buried in the ground. In the buildings are adjustable stands placed on since the lamp is being filled. The lamps are placed in the position for filling by the small adjustable stands. The oil is turned on and by means of an automatic gauge the operator knows when the lamp has sufficient oil. The lamp can be filled at the same time.

In the poultry yards was seen a fountain so arranged as to give the chickens fresh water at regular intervals. This was made from material found near at hand. In this case the fountain is fed by a siphon made from a piece of iron pipe and a discarded oil can. The outpouring of the water into the chickens were improved so that the chickens receive a greater amount of fresh air than is the usual construction. These home-made constructions were commented upon by many of the visitors as striking evidences of creative thinking. A simple idea running through them seems to be a determination to make the best out of that which is at hand. The large farm, connected with the school was found, be in an excellent condition.

From the New York Evening Journal. A revolution in the method of cleaning windows is likely to be effected shortly by the introduction of an automatic window washer, the joint invention of I. Fluegelman and Thomas Johnson, of the New Amsterdam Theatre Building. When this machine is put on the market it will no longer be necessary for cleaners to risk their lives on window sills. The machine is attached to the sill and an arm extending out of the window is controlled by a lever inside of the room. By the operation of this lever the outside of the window is quickly washed and dried without the necessity of the operator climbing out. It may be operated either by electric power or by hand. Patents were recently granted and a company to place the machines on the market is now being organized. The idea of the window washer first occurred to Thomas Johnson some time ago when one of his employees was seriously injured by falling while cleaning a window. About a year ago Johnson, who has been with Klaw & Klinger for over twenty years, suggested the matter to Flusgelman, inventor of several machines, who worked out Johnson's ideas.

CHICAGO, June 30.—The aftermath of the great Republican National Convention, has restored normal conditions. The clash of interests, the loud boastings, the empty claims and ridiculous pretensions have all been resolved into nothingness. The indignation meetings on the streets, in the churches and in public halls have all been stilled and lost in the consummation of the great work of the convention itself. The strangers on our streets who came here, some weeks ago with booms, boomlets and boomerangs have all sneaked away somewhat wiser than they were before.

Colored men who thought that they were Democrats before the convention have found themselves and are now in the Tait procession. Tait clubs are now springing up in all directions and many who were proudly anti-Tait last week are trying to forget it themselves and to make others forget it also, which may not be quite so easy as they imagine. The Colored Men's Taft League, of Illinois, that did so much and was so effectively in evidence in all pre-convention efforts are being congratulated by the leading men from all parts of the country for the thorough manner in which they did their work for the entertainment of the delegates. On Friday night, June 26, a rousing ratification meeting was held under the ruspices of the Colored Men's Taft League, Mr. Colin Johnson of Lantana, Ga, was present and spoke eloquently of his indorsement of the ticket. Alderman Harry Cummings was prevented from joining his Chicago friends in the ratification of this great event by an unexpected call to his home on account of the serious illness of his mother. Convention week in Chicago will long be remembered for its many social activities. Beautiful full dress receptions were given. Those especially deserving of mention were at the homes of Col. and. Mrs. John R. Marshall, Mrs. E. E. Wilson, Mrs. S. S. Paul, Mrs. C. H. Smiley, and Mrs. Walter Farmer. These social functions contributed much to the enthusiasm and elast of convention week and gave Chicago a rare opportunity of meeting some of the most interesting people of the city. Some good, interesting and significant thing is always happening to remind the American people that they may expect to find the American Negro always doing something in a large and important way which was not expected of them. The latest achievement is in the field of the highest athletics of international importance. A few days ago a Mr. R. L. Holmes, a young colored man of this city, and a member of the Dougans Center Athletic Association, received the following notice: My dear Sir: I bag to advise you that at the meeting of the American Team Selection Committee for the 1998 NCAA Division I basketball season in the City of New York on Monday, June 8, you were chosen as a member of the American team. It is needless to say that this announcement has caused a profound sensation among the athletes of Chicago. Those who know of Mr. Holmes' great work as an athlete are scarcely surprised at this interesting announcement. In the "jump events" of April 3, at the Bartlett Gymnasium, of this day, one of the papers of the astute editor of the annual A. A. U.'s indoor meet at Bartlett Gymnasium," when Mr. Holmes easily outclassed all competitors as a "jumper." It is interesting also to know that the Olympic committee pays all expenses from New York to London and return. It is further pleasant to note that Mr. Holmes is only a former athlete to be so honored: Mr. John B. Tayler, Philadelphia, spinner, has also been chosen by the Olympic committee for the great meet in London, to represent the athletes of the United States. Prof. N.

M. E. Zion Church, Brooklyn, last Thursday evening to attest their esteem for the failure of their pastor, J. Francis Wafer, who served them so accolade for the past six years. Despite the fact that the Rev. Mr. Waters found the church in a chaotic state when he took charge of the work, he has succeeded in creating a culture, with all improvements, which is free from debt, and built up a aplendid congregation of Christian men and women. He below himself, in unity of his work, by both white and colored. In the neighborhood of South Third and Hooper streets, where he and his little flock struggled almost desperately for existence, he is highly respected by At the last annual meeting of the A. M. E. Zion Conference, which convened at Tarrytown, N. Y., the first week in June, his church, the Brigga, to plead with the presiding bishop, Rt. Rev. J. W. Hood, to return Rev. Mr. Waters to his former charge. This plea was backed by a strong petition, signed by 1,000 people, against deamination, yet the bishop. It is said, stubbornly refused to acquiesce to the desires of the people, ignored completely their appeal and entreaties and refused to answer from N. Y. The people are much aroused over the action of the bishop and were loud in their denunciation of what they considered gross injustice. They are not under the authority of underhand work and much wire pulling done to bring about the change. Although the Rev. Mr. Waters has done such excellent work in Brooklyn, and although his character is irresponsible, his institution were conspicuous for their absence on the occasion of the reception. There was not a line of approval from the presiding elder down. There was no one who claimed, as well as unfairness rampant in the church. Some ministers have become fixtures, while others who toll as faithfully cannot get a foothold. This will kill our manhood and that soon.

Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Williams celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of their wedding last Saturday evening, at the Italian Forum, 349 Bridge street, in the presence of a large circle of friends. The ceremony which reponounced Mr. and Mrs. Williams as husband and wife was almost performed by the Rev. W. R. L. King. Mr. and Mrs. Williams were the recipients of many beautiful presents.

The Board of Education was preparing to move to Elliotsville, where the more desirable one in Elliotsville, when a few uneducated negro-hating white people filed a protest that was so ungrateful, white people were depending on colored people for a living, most of them being merchants. But the table has turned, and the self-respect of the colored people elicited a boycott on every merchant who signed the petition, and already some of them are facing failure, and the colored merchants business is impaired; respect; when they discriminate, let colored people discriminate with their dollars.

The Season Season Begins THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1908 PROMINENT PHYSICIAN DIES NAVARICROSS, D. C., July 1, —Quito a number of notable changes were made in the curbs of teachers for the Washington schools at the last meeting of the Board of Education. There were motions to merit, a few reductions on lack of merit, and some transfers for the good of the service. The reduction in the appropriations for the school fund made it more difficult to the Board to meet the merit, and Jain was appointed to the night school terms suffered considerably in consequence there. Miss Marion P. Shadad, a teacher of ability and ample experiences, was appointed as supervising teacher for the retirement of Mr. Frank L. Cardone, Jr., last year, and Mr. Cardone is restored to the roll as teacher of the seventh grade at Wilton School. Mr. W. P. Montgomery, probationary teacher in School, is given a permanent appointment, and George D. Jenifer, probationary teacher in English at the same school, goes on the permanent list. John W. Cromwell, Jr., is advanced from the Wilson School in School, and Chase, daughter of Editor W. Calvin Chase, of the Bee, is named as music teacher, and Mrs. R. W. Tompkins, becomes substitute teacher in domestic science, Chase, and Superintendent Rosece Cookling Bruce to go to Tunkegue Institute as assistant to Secretary Emmett J. Scott, and James A. Saunders succeeds him. Maurice Clifford becomes clerk to Principal W. Hugh School. Mrs. Florence P. Clark is to be on the roll of night school teachers at Armstrong. Dr. Evans remains as director of night schools, in addition to the headship of the Armstrong Technical High School and the night school of the night school at that building. Other night school principals are: J. E. Washington at Lovejoy; E. A. Thompson at Stevens; H. Wytie Lewis at Handall; R. B. H. Wytie Lewis at Handall; J. C. Payne at Phillips. The assignments give general satisfaction, and the colored members of the Board of Education are being congratulated on the tranquility now prevailing in the teachers, pupils and patrons will look forward to a season of unexampled prosperity. The colored people are pleased with the even-banded justice meted out by Superintendent A. T. Stuart, and under the painstaking, conscientious and able painter, Superintendent Bruce, the division minister, have made a showing of which every citizen is justly proud. The flurry of opposition to Mr. Bruce has entirely subsided, and his administration is voted a skillful point of scholarship displayed and in broad agreement with capacity he has demonstrated." Washington colored schools were never in better condition. The entire community was saddened Wednesday by the news that Dr. Furry Shahey, one of Washington's most skilful teachers, had passed away. His death which was wholly unexpected, was the result of a nervous breakdown which began a year or more ago. He fought the grim specter manfully, journeying to Bermuda and Southern climes in the hope of finding relief; but all was unavailing. His two daughters and a son survive him. Dr. Shadda was a native of Washington, having been born in this city October 21, 1852, and was educated in the local schools. For thirty-two years he was connected with Howard University. He was secretary and treasurer of the university department after the control of that department was in his hands. Officials of the University give Dr. Shadda credit for the high standing which the medical school has reached, and hundreds of young doctors who have been induced to remain in the school are, finish their studies, and freely testify their deep sense of obligation to him for what they are in the profession today. For thirteen years, Dr. Shadda was resident physician at Pressman's Hospital. He was not only well-known here, where he enjoyed an extensive practice, but a reputation on campus in the United States into the West Indies where his acquaintance was unusually large by reason of the number of students from the islands who had come under his influence at the medical school. President Thrield, Secretary and Treasurer Safford, Professor B. H. H. Howard University united in the praise of the high character, generous nature and extraordinary executive ability of the deceased. He was closely identified with the schools, the church and with many benevolent and uplifting movements, and country, and Washington could not boast of a citizen more active or more useful. The funeral services were held Friday morning at his late residence, 991 R Street, Baltimore, Md. J. Grimke of Fifth Street Pressherian delivered a touching eulogy. He was assisted by Rev. D. F. Rivers, of Berea Holder, pastor of the Congregational Church of Baltimore, who showed the services the remains were receiving to Lee's undertaking establishment, where in accordance with his wishes, they were repatriated.

Rivers, graduate of the pharmaceutical department of Howard University, and who has just secured a long and useful career in the pharmacy to give her entire time to the business.

Ronald, and consisted of solos and recitations. After the program refreshments were served and a real good social time was held. The Lyceum has done very good work the past year under President Allen, and a good opening is looked forward to. At Mt. Olivet Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon a joint meeting of the Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations was held. The meeting was largely attended. The address of the afternoon was delivered by W. R. Griffin chief of the Washington division of True Reformers. The address was very inspiring and thoroughly enjoyed by all present. Mr. Griffin is here in the interest of the True Reformers, and gave a moving picture exhibition at St. Mark's Church last Monday evening. Mrs. A. W. Hunton, acting secretary of Y. W. C. A., made an interesting address outlining the work of the association for the year. She told of the progress of the association work throughout the country and what was being done for young men and women. The meeting interested and interested and gave opportunity to the public to see what was being done in this city by the two associations. A young lady from Fisk University is expected to take charge of the work for the young women. A prospectus is out describing the work of the Young Men's Christian Association for young colored men. It is a neat little pamphlet aid can be secured by calling at the Y. M. C. A. Building. The association baseball team is doing splendid work this summer. The boys are enthusiastic and great things are expected in the field of athletics. The scheduled game with Jersey City last Saturday was called off, due to the inability of the Jersey team to get their men together. The game will probably be played next Saturday. A big game is on for the Fourth and an opportunity will be had to show the skill of the boys at baseball. A number of young ladies are in the city to attend the summer school of Columbia University. These young ladies are taking up special work for teachers, and for the sake of general culture. Some of them come from the Southern universities as students and graduates, and others are teachers. We wish for these young people a pleasant season at Columbia University. The young ladies are stopping at the Young Women's Christian Association while at Columbia. The Southern schools and colleges are well represented at this season by a host of gentlemenly young men and women. The rooms of the Young Mens' Christian Association are the rendezvous for these young students who find every facility offered to make their visit pleasant while they are stopping over in this city. This is the church picnic season and almost every day one can see a band of Sunday school children with the grown-ups en route to the big steamer waiting to carry them to some shady spot along the seashore for a day's rest and recreation. These picnics are very helpful to the little ones and furnish them with a delightful outing. Some time in July St. Mark's Church will give their annual outing at Boynton Beach, N. J. BRYAN AND THE NEGRO VOTE. A Leading Democratic Daily Shows How He Cannot Attract It. From the New York Herald. Labor leaders are descending upon Denver confident that the Democratic Convention will meet their demands in the platform. As a representative of labor, John Mitchell has been proposed for the temporary chairmanship and even for the nomination as Vice President. Encouraged by his credulity they are playing upon Mr. Bryan's defusion that men who work with their hands can be induced to vote solidly for his ticket. But there is one important element—openly disaffected toward Mr. Roosevelt—for which Mr. Bryan and his Democratic supporters are unable to display any attractions. The Brownsville affair hurt both Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Talt immensely with the Negro voters. But the Democratic members of the Senate took sides unanimously with the President when a minority of his party sought to have justice done to the discharged Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, Mr. Bryan has never had the courage to discuss the issue for fear of offending Southern prejudices. On the contrary, to square himself with the South, whose delegates he needed, at Cooper Union Mr. Bryan defended Negro disfranchisement. Whatever benefit, in case of his nomination, he might have reaped from the hostility of Northern Negroes to the administration was lost from that moment. In the eleven states where a solid Negro vote might turn the scale there were the following Negro voters in 1900: Delaware, 8,374; Illinois, 30,762; Indiana, 18,186; Kentucky, 74,728; Maryland, 60,406; Massachusetts, 10,546; Missouri, 46,148; New Jersey, 21,474; New York, 31,425; Ohio, 31,342 and West Virginia, 17,476. A serious defection of Negro voters to Mr. Bryan is out of the question. In indorsing Mr. Bryan's Cooper Union speech the Lynchburg, Va., News, with obvious satisfaction, says: "If, therefore, defection of Negro voters from the Republican party be witnessed in the November election the fact will not be due to any Democratic lure for the Negro vote." The standing penalty which the Democrites incur by tolerating Mr. Bryan's perpetual candidacy is that it assures to the Republican party complete grant of immunity for the sins and blunders of the successive Presidents and Congresses it has elected.

For further information, address HONORS FOR BROOKLYN GRADUATES Miss Dewling Wins Second Place for Teacher's License. The commencement of the Brooklyn Training School for Teachers was held last Thursday night in its own home. The presentation of diplomas came near the beginning of the exercises after the graduates had sung the "Pilgrim's chorus from "Tannhauser," and Miss Emma L. Johnson has welcomed the friends of the school to the first commencement exercises in the new building. Among other things Miss Johnson said: "It has come to be the usual thing for us to announce at the commencement exercises the name of the member of the February class who has beaten all the other candidates in New York City for teacher's license No. 1, and who therefore has earned the right to have her name at the head of an eligible list of 500 or 600. This time we have won first place and second place—or rather the places have been won for us by Sydney Parsons and Elsie Downing. The school thanks Miss Parsons and Miss Downing for gaming for it this honor. "The only honor that a student can win from the school itself is a rating of . . . in what is known as general fitness to teach. Under general fitness are considered the traits of character that are as essential to the good teacher as is scholarship or skill. To obtain the highest rating, or A, a student must receive the unanimous vote of her teachers. The custom of giving rating under the head of general fitness was instituted during the last term of the February class. The ten members of that class who received the rating are: Sydney Parsons, Elsie L. Downing, E. R. Barker, Marker, Mary J. Hathaway, Edna M. Leith, Jessie M. Maxwell, Bessie K. Season, Louise Sprace, Grace M. Strutter. Miss Downing, who has been teaching in the Brooklyn school for the past six months, is the elder daughter of Mrs. H. A. Downing, a teacher of the graduating class in Public School No. 144 of Brooklyn. AN EDUCATOR HONORED. Hannover Trendered Hoezer Coubling Bruce, Assistant Superintendent- ing Officer WASHINGTON, D. C., July 1.—As an evidence of the high esteem in which he is held by the patrons and teachers of the local colored schools, Professor Roscoe Conkling Bruce, assistant superintendent of public schools, was tended a banquet last Wednesday evening at Masonic Hall, nineteenth century of honor about one hundred and fifty representative colored citizens of the Columbia participated. It was an impromptu affair and the high temperature prevailing would have made an indoor banquet impossible under ordinary conditions. Promptly at 9 p.m. Dr. Bruce Evans, the toastmaster, assembled the assembly to order and practically every seat was taken. Around the bountiful decorated table could be seen the minister of the Gospel, the business man, the patron, all witnessing the high character of the honored guest and commending that marked ability and untring zeal which have made his regime as assistant superintendent of the Washington public schools so eminently successful. Among the invited guests were: Hon. Wm. T. Vernon, register of the U. S. Treasury; Messrs John F. Cook and R. R. Horner, both members of the local board of education; Professors Kelly Miller and Wm. V. Tunnell, of Harvard University; Rev. Walter M. Brooks; Major Charles R. Douglass; son of Frederick Douglass; Dr. W. S. Montgomery; Dr. Assistant Justice Attorney James A. W. F. Smith, M. J. Mosby, M. R. A. Pelham; Prof. J. T. Layton; Dr. C. Childs, Rev. A. C. Garner, Rev. S. N. Brown, Dr. George Richardson, J. W. F. Smith, D. W. K. Davis, A. W. Thompson, H. C. Lyons, H. P. Shaughter, and others. A dainty menu was served by Mr. A. H. Underdown, a local caterer. The very unique menu card contained a miniature bust of Prof. Bruce surrounded by a horsehoe and bore the inscription: "Good Luck to Mr. Roscoe Conkling Bruce, Assistant Superintendent of Public Schools, Washington, D. C." The following toasts, replete with eulogy and wit, were well delivered and approvingly received: Judge Robert H. Terrell, "The Man of High Ideals"; Mr. J. F. Bundy, "Our Hope In Education"; Dr. H. L. Bailey, "The True Pedagogy"; Dr. George D. Jeffrey "Ocimum in English"; Dr. A. M. Curtis, "The True Gentleman"; Dr. Wm. T. Vernon, "The True Patriot"; Dr. J. M. Fraction, "The Power of Personality"; Judge E. M. Hewlett, "The Man of Judgment and Justice"; Mr. H. C. Douglass, "Washington School Products"; Prof. Kelly Miller, "The Mission of the Educated Man"; Rev. Sterling N. Brown, "Ethical Culture." When Prof. Bruce arose to respond to the tomsis which had been said in his honor he was treated to an ovation of applause which lasted several minutes. With a voice filled with emotion, and yet charged with eloquence, he completely overcome his innate modus operandi and achieved remarkable thought and power that his reputation as class orator of Harvard University was easily re-established. Professor Bruce expressed his keen personal appreciation of the gracious courtesy which the banqueters had extended him. He realized that the honors of the occasion belonged to the members of the board of education and all of the officers of the school system rather than to any individual. The banquet, he said, had a significance more than personal; it was a sign and symbol of the unity of spirit and endeavor, and the sentiment of loyalty to the school administration in which every teacher and principal and supervisor has been working. No great business can be operated with economy and efficiency, he said, except upon a capital of sentiment. The leadership in any enterprise is successful largely because it is supervised largely by devotion to an ideal. A recent moral philosopher has sought to show that loyalty is the heart and centre of all the virtues—loyalty to institutions because they embody worthy for ideal ends. On learns to swim by swimming and to live by living. Education is not so much a preparation for life as an experiment in living, and its materials should be taken straight from actual life. The notion that certain studies, though meeting no practical need, have great value because of the general question applicable to the diverse activities, which these studies develop—this notion is losing currency. In school let the mind be exercised in materials which represent the larger phases of life outside or school. All the resources of modern life—esthetic; scientific, economic, political, historical—all these offer materials appropriate to the education of the children and youth of today. Education for a modern, progressive democratic society is essential, including training for Greece or Rome. Modern culture comprises the appreciation of the resources and the reaction upon the problems of modern life: modern culture finds its value and warrant in service. The banquet committee which was responsible for the successful management of the banquet, was as follows: M. Grant Lucas, chairman; Messers, C. M. Thomas, A. C. Newman, A. H. Glenn, R. A. Gillen, N. E. Weatherless, H. Jones, Smith Wormley, Dr. J. E. Washington. W. Sidney Pittman has been awarded the contract for one of the public school buildings to be erected this fall. Mr. Pittman is taking advantage of every opportunity to show his capacity as an architect. TO LET 29 West 99th Street Five East Flats of 6 Rooms and Bath, 10 East Flats of 10 Rooms.

"Until the convention made a nomination every Republican had a right to have his choice," said Senator Foraker after hearing the name of Secretary Taft for the Presidency, but now it is no longer a question of men but a question of party. In this way Secretary Taft becomes my candidate for the Presidency, and while all the circumstances I can probably do but little, yet I shall do all I can to help elect him." NEGROES AT THE CHICAGO CONVENTION. We are inclined to feel that the Negro people of the United States have reason to be proud of the three colored men who appeared before the recent convention in Chicago. Each made an especially satisfactory impression upon the more than 14,000 people gathered in the Coliseum listening to the proceedings of the convention. The first of these, Mr. Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Atlanta, Ga., sooke for the majority report in the matter of the reduction of Southern representatives—this question of reduction being supported and brought into the convention by the so-called "Allies," and so-called friends of the Negros. This action, however, proved their real feeling toward the Negro people. Mr. Johnson spoke against the proposition to cut down Southern representation, and it was the consensus of opinion that his address was the one which divided so many of the Western states against the proposition. Both his presence and delivery were excellent. On the next day when the superior brand of oratory is supposed to be "trotted out," namely, when the presidential candidate was nominated, the race was represented by Dr. W. O. Emory, of Macon, Ga., who seconded the nomination of Senator Foraker, of Ohio. Every newspaper in the city, almost without exception, spoke in pleasing and approving terms of Dr. Emory's speech. Many of them citing it as the most brilliant of the day. The staff correspondent of the New York World began his letter to The World with the following opening sentence: (Special from a Staff Correspondent of the World.) CHICAGO, June 18.—As a rule the brand of oratory served up was mediocrely far the best speech delivered was that by W. Ehory, of Georgia, a colored man resembling Booker T. Washington in appearance. Both in point of diction and sincerity of delivery it was declared by the other delegates to be the ablest of all the addresses. On the concluding day of the convention, Maj. Frank A. Denison, the able assistant corporation attorney of the City of Chicago, was called to the chair by Senator Lodge to preside over the deliberations of the convention during his brief retirement. Maj. Denison presided while a number of the nominating and seconding speeches for vice-president were made. Senator Lodge presenting along with others the name of Governor Guild, of Massachusetts. All things considered, The Age is not disappointed in the high honors which came to the race through these representative gentlemen who spoke and represented us in the able manner they each did. BISHOP CALLS UP LINCOLN, NEB, OVER LONG DISTANCE. Immediately after the adjournment of the Republican National Convention at Chicago, it is said that a certain bishop called up Lincoln, Neb, over the long distance telephone to discuss with a presidential candidate for the Democratic nomination at Denver, politics and the Negro vote. It is said that the candidate, through his secretary, informed this bishop that he would not discuss the matter over the telephone. We wonder if this bishop wants to sell his people for a mess of pottage, and if he understands what is meant by manhood rights, particularly after Bryan's speech at Cooper Union, New York City. IS THIS XEROO LASY? Thomas F. Ryan, head of large railroad interests and life assurance societies, makes the direct charge in a recent interview published in the Saturday Evening Post of Philadelphia, that the Negro is lazy. He does not restrict his assertion to any certain section or sections of the United States, but declares that the Negro is lazy. According to the Saturday Evening Post, Mr. Ryan's interview is the first ever given by him to any publication, as it has been a rule of his to keep silent on all questions. While he was not interviewed relative to the Negro question, like most Southerners, he had to inject the race question as a matter of second nature. Thomas F. Ryan is a Virginian. His long residence in New York and his living on Fifth avenue has not caused him to become more broad-minded and fair toward the Negro. So, when asked to discuss the charges made that he had watered the stock of the New York traction lines and had also conducted some peculiar manipulations during his control of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, he saw fit to make the following statement. "The South cannot enter upon its highest productivity and prosperity until the problem of tilling the land is settled. There must be labor. You cannot depend upon the Navy, for he is lazy. I believe the solution lies in the immigration to the South of abled-bodied foreigners like the peasants of the south of France. I mention these because like the Scandinavians, who have thrived in our Northwest, they would remain in the country and let the nation have the benefits of their savings, unlike the Italians, for example, who go back home as soon as they have saved some money. "One reason why there has been such a comparatively restricted movement of immigrants to the South is that most of them land in New York. If they happen to come from a sunny clime and reach here in cold weather, they cannot be persuaded that any place in the United States is warm. The result is that they herd together many New Orleans immigrants. You could like these immigrants in the South if you landed them in southern ports such as Savannah, Charleston and New Orleans. Here they would find a climate to their liking, and I think they would remain in the South and help rebuild the old commonwealth." Neither the Negroes of this country nor their white friends should give Thomas F. Ryan's remarks merely passing consideration. That he is mistaken in his views we all well know; but such words coming from a man in control of more than nine hundred millions of capital and surplus in different corporations furnishes a subject which should be given mature thought. Here is one of the heads of industry who wants Negro help replaced with foreigners. He admits the Italian was a failure as a laborer in the South. Now he wants 'the South filled with peasants from the south of France. It is his desire to see the Negro completely eliminated as a factor in the South, so far as labor is concerned, and we believe, too, that he has similar views regarding politics. Of course, with all of Thomas F. Ryan's millions he cannot change the industrial conditions of the Southland. But we have an idea he would be indiscreet enough to make an attempt to eliminate the Negro as a laborer in the South at some future time. The dismal failure of the Italian laborers to remain in the South was not convincing proof to Thomas F. Ryan that no foreigner would find the South and its treatment to aliens congenial. The Negro has stood for more abuse than any other man would ever think of doing. And the trouble now is he does not intend to submit to such treatment any longer. We imagine that is the reason Thomas F. Ryan declares that the Negro is lazy. Nowadays the Negro wants pay commensurate with the amount of work he does. The Negro, through his labor, made the South. It was he who raised the cotton and tobacco and other products that made the South the commercial center it is today, and the white man rich. Yet, Thomas F. Ryan says the Negro is lazy! BRYAN ON THE NEGRO QUESTION. In discussing the platform of the Republican party, William Jennings Bryan has much to say on the Negro question. He begins his article by saying: "The Negro comes in for his quadrennial" quota of taffy. He is reminded that the Republican party gave him freedom and "citieznship" and so on. It appears that Mr. Bryan does not relish the idea of the Republican party being able to state in its party platform that, it is the party which gave the Negro his citizenship. Because the Democrats will be unable to go on record in Denver as having done one thing in advocating the Negro's rights since there has been a Democratic party. Mr. Bryan talks about the Republican party and its taffy. True, the G. O. P. in recent years has not done as much for the Negro as it should or could, but, nevertheless, all the seignation in favor of the Negro THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1908. has been done at the instance of the Republican party. On the other hand, all legislation against the Negro has been due to the activity of the Democratic party. What the Negro would like to see is that Mr. Bryan, who is said to have charge of the Democratic platform, will give us a little taffy, showing that his party intends to do something in the future in the interest of the Negro instead of, as heretofore, seeking on every occasion to humiliate us by passing disfranchisement and "Jim Crow" laws. DR. HORACE BURSTRAD'S ADVICE. DR. HORACE BUMSTEAD ADVICE There is little danger that any large proportion of the Afro-Americans in the United States will follow the advice, or at least the implied advice, of Dr. Horace Bumstead, late of Atlanta University, to vote the Democratic ticket, or stay at home and thus defeat the Republican candidate in November. The Negro knows Dr. Bumstead does not understand what the Democratic party stands for in reference to Negro rights and Negro opportunities. No white man knows how a Democrat treats a Negro. The Negroes are not going to be carried off their feet by such advice, neither are they going to follow the teachings of Negroes who have been life-long Democrats. Mr. Monroe Trotter, for example, who is continually in a state of appalling hysteries, is a Democrat and has been all his life. His father was a Democrat. These Negro Democrats should go into the Democratic party and fight their battles there and cease intermingling with a party to which they do not belong and with which they have no affiliation. BASSACHUSETTS, CONNECTICUT, AND SENATOR FORAKER. Just think of it! Both Massachusetts and Connecticut voted unanimously in the Chicago Convention in favor of the nomination of Secretary Taft. Not a single ballot cast against him in either state. Think of it! Massachusetts has been the headquarters and center for the last two years of folly, of agitation, abuse and misrepresentation of President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft. What has it all amounted to? What has been the outcome of all the meetings held in halls and of the money that has been collected from poor洗衣-women and hard working men? All of it has not resulted in taking a single delegate from Secretary Taft and the State of Massachusetts. The explanation is, that the movement against Secretary Taft was led by a little crowd of fanatics without common sense and the confidence or the respect of either race. Complete failure was to have been expected in the first place. We are wondering how much longer the people of Massachusetts will permit themselves to be fooled by these irresponsible ingrates, who always have their hats in their hands taking up a collection from somebody for some purpose. Think of it again! Senator Foraker comes out in an interview saying that he will support and stand by Secretary Taft for the Presidency. What are all those going to do, now who have been swearing that they would bolt the Republican ticket, when their great leader comes out and says he is going to stand by the Republican nominee? Senator Foraker deserves great credit for his stand in this matter. DR. W. S. SCARBOROUGH We note with pleasure that W. S. Scarborough, A. M., L. L. D., has been elected president of Wilberforce University. Dr. Scarborough has been connected with Wilberforce University for a number of years and has made an available record as an instructor at that institution. We congratulate Wilberforce upon its selection of Dr. Scarborough and predict for him a highly successful administration. One of the Chicago papers reported one W. H. Scott, a so-called preacher from Massachusetts, as calling Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, a dog. We wonder if there is a single Negro in America who thinks that such language is helping our race. Such uncalled-for and needless abuse is tending to drive some of our best friends from us and will hasten the time when the white man in the North will turn upon the Negro in the same way that the white man of the South did a few years ago. THE NEW-YORK ACE does not agree with the officers of our Negro churches who permit the church house to be turned into a political hall. When a person wants to hold a political meeting he should hire a hall devoted to that purpose and not desecrate a church. In nine cases out of ten, when a Negro minister leaves his legitimate church work and goes into politics he makes a mess of it. He does injustice to his people and he makes foolish mistakes in politics because he is not accustomed to political methods and aims. The safe thing for a minister to do is to stick to his calling. He can accomplish in the long run more good by trying to purify the hearts of men, than he can by entering into a rough and tumble political scramble. As a rule, people do not like to see their ministers engaged in the hurly-burly of politics, where he is placed upon the same plane as common ordinary ward politicians. WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY Taft has been nominated and is satisfactory to every Republican who places party fealty above selfishness.-Atlanta Independent. As between William H. Taft and William J. Bryan there is absolutely no room for argument as to which is the more deserving of the presidency. Mr. Taft comes before the people with a long line of achievements to support his ambition, while Mr. Bryan can point only to a long-line of promises and theories.-Yonkers Standard. The nomination of Secretary William H. Taft, of Ohio, for president by the Republican party, in opinion was a foregone conclusion. We have always regarded his nomination a certainty ever since his name was mentioned for that high and exalted position. Now we regard his election just as certain as his nomination. Let us all get busy and roll up the largest majority ever given to a Republican presidential nominee.-Long Branch, N. J., Echo. Now that the Hon' W. H. Taft has been selected as the Republican nominee for the presidency of the United States, it does seem foolhardy, to say the least, for the great (?) Negro political organization to continue to "raise a dust" by bolting the party and going over to the enemy. The sensible answer would be to color out who remain loyal to the party. Grant that some things do go wrong in the G. O. P., where can redress be had? Not at the hands of the Democratic party by any means. "Of two evils choose the lesser," is very applicable in this case. —Orange, S. C., People's Recorder. There is some talk at nominating a national-ticket for the colored people to support. This would be all right if subjection to it were all right for them to do and make a showing that would entitle the organization to respect, after the election is over. If they 'nominate a ticket and the vote is ridiculously small, the political leaders will view this as being the strength of the opposition, regardless of how many cast their vote with the Democratic nominees. -Richmond Planet, _____ All talk of forming a new party—a third, party will result in but very little else than talk. A new party based on the ill feelings engendered of the Brownies affair, or because of what happened at, Chicago, would be a very ill-advised affair, even if it managed to go on its feet. Really the only premise for a new party is that it wrongs. In the event of such an organization it could only hope to be supported by Negroes, since some form of civil injustice is known in every community where there are white and colored people. It would mean the intensifying of the relation between them, since the issues would have to be thrashed out and which virtually would mean whites versus Negroes, conditioned by race. The race needs strong race advocates, but it wants to be saved from those who get their zeal and discretion mixed.—Indianapolis Freeman. Every one who has stopped to think must have realized that no matter how badly the Brownsville troops have been treated, any help that will come to them must come from the Republican party, and that if Roosevelt is in the way that help must be secured from the next administration. It is certain that there is no hope of fair treatment by a Democratic administration; consequently we must do what we can to put into office a man who gives us some encouragement. Senator Foraker is not ready to end his career. To do so would not benefit himself nor the soldiers. His present determination represents 'the logic of the situation—Odd Fellows' Journal. The Hon. Joseph B. Foraker, senator from Ohio, has proved himself to be one of the greatest statesmen of his day. He had the many courage to go up against the Big Stuck and brought them to terms. He was right in the postponement of having the senate vote on his challenge, asking congress to lift his objection, asking the rights of citizenship until after the election. After the nomination of Secretary Tait for the presidency he said as individuals we differed, but since the people had spoken through the delegates in its national convention, Tait was his choice and that he would spill off his coat, roll up his sleeves and will espouse his sense which he believes to be the right to rise up as a queen to emulate the example of this great statesman, as Douglas has well said, that the "Republican party is the ship of state, all other is the sea."—Kansas City, Mo., Messenger. The expected has happened. The Republican National Convention in Chicago last week nominated Wm. H. Tait, at present secretary of war, for the next president of the United States. Mr. Tait, ever since he was first mentioned for the position, was characterized as an administration candidate—President Roosevelt's choice, and is still so considered. Well it is in order to give the president credit, at least for so wise a choice, as we believe that Mr. Taft will in every particular fill the requirement of highest once in the gift of the nation's nationality and justice to all. As to Mr. Sherman, he seems to be the right man; so good that the leaders of the opposite party unite in praise of his character as an upright, forceful man of worth. The Net predicts a regular walkover for Tait and Sherman in November—Hampton, Va., Fisherman's Net. Taft and Sherman will soon be as familiar words as were Roosevelt and Fairbanks, and under ordinary conditions they will become popular household words. Thoughtful men of the race have in most cases declared themselves in favor of the platform and the ticket as embodying the principles of the great party which has been invincible in politics for more than fifty years. There may be some dissensions in the ranks now, but after the Democratic convention next month there will be very few colored men who will think that relief from any of our burdens can be found in the cann of the enemy. The door may be opened at Denver, but we are not looking for any of our Democratic friends to take any such action at this time, and unless it does some of our friends will find themselves between the devil and the deep Blue sea—Louisville American Baptist. Secretary Taft has been nominated by the Chicago convention, and we whose righteous indignation was stirred by the Brownville affair, should call in our dogs and help poll up a big majority for Taft. When he has been elected, we will again renew our fight for a square deal. Secretary Taft held up the president's dismissal order until the "big stick" loomed up before him—in this he was not in a hurry to let vengeance fall upon men whose guilt had not been established. Who knows but that the strong hand of Mr. Taft is the providential hand to set wide the door of hope to us. In inviting our readers to get aboard the Republican train, we submit the words of our bio brief defender, Senator Forake, which we follow: "Until the convention made a nomination every Republican had a right to have his own choice, but now it is no longer a question of men, but a question of parties." "In this way Secretary Taft becomes my candidate for the presidency, and while under all circumstances I can do but little, yet I shall do all I can to help elect him. "Republicans will now quit contending among themselves, and turn all their guns on the common enemy"—Lynchburg, Va., American Trumpet. The Republican party has acted wisely and well in naming as its candidate for the presidency William Howard Taft. He is a great man, popular with the people, his public record is clean and he stands for policies which mean the continued progress of the nation. A few Afro-Americans worked hard to prevent the nomination of Taft, but they were hopelessly handicapped from the start and their attempt was an absolute failure. Now, that the nomination has been made, these people will see the error in their approach, they have made a mistake in endeavoring to work up opposition to the will of the majority of the party. They will realize that there is no room in the Democratic party for the Afro-American, that there is no hope for the race in that direction. Mr. Taft is in no sense an enemy of the Afro-American. He has shown his friendship in many ways. Recently he accepted an appointment as one of the trustees of the Jeannes fund for the education of poor Afro-Americans of the South. The Afro-Americans have a good friend in Mr. Taft, and they will vote for him on November 3. The race will continue to stick to the party which gave freedom to the slave. Mr. Taft was the choice of the Republican party in national convention assembled. He was nominated by acclamation, unanimously, and the same spirit that led to his nomination will lead to victory at the polls. There is nothing to be even hoped for from the democratic party under any circumference, and all other-minded thinking. Afro-Americans know this and will vote accordingly. So let everybody get into the band-wagon and vote the Republican ticket as usual, believing, as did the sage of Anticosti: "The Republican party is the ship, all else is the son." The vice-presidential candidate, Hon. James S. Sherman, of New York, is all right, and with Taft and Sherman as our standard bearers they will lead us to victory—St. Paul, Minn., Appeal. The agitators who assembled in Chicago last week declared that a third party would be formed if W. H. Taft was nominated, and that Foraker would be their chieftain. The convention was to be held in Chicago immediately after the Republican National Convention. The Republican National Convention is over. Taft is nominated, and nothing has been heard of the other threatened convention. On Friday Senator Foraker issued a statement in which he said that he would be able to help meet Mr. Taft. The other candidates, from Cannon to LaFollette, expressed themselves, similarly. And now the bottom has dropped out of the new party proposition. The organizers are up in the air. Some are thoughtless enough to say that they will vote the Democratic ticket. For nerve and inconsistency, such a resolution deserves the palm. It has the man run, and is not only cutting the nose, but cutting the head off, to spite the face. The Democrats do not want Negro support. They would rather be defeated without the Negro than to be victorious with him. They do not offer the most casual invitation, to say nothing of an indulgence. On the other hand, their chief men, from Bryan to Fayette for Negroes against the Bryan for Negroes with the Republican party uphoils and which the men who are now fighting the party declare they seek. Is this wisdom? Are we citizens, who love our country, knowing our full rights and laboring to preserve them? If so, to be consistent we must be Republicans. Are the agitators anarchists? From what they said and did in Chicago in the heat of their dismay, it would appear so. They are seeking to win, (what, we do not know) at any price, even the overthrow of government. Will the American people tolerate for long even these suggestions? We think not. It is high time that all our people everywhere act as citizens and not like unto anarchists—Cleveland Journal. Despite the flort, morded along the line presupposing Tale from causing the vote in Chicago, he was overwhelth and substantially carried the nomination and once more are we assured of the prosperity and universal satisfaction that has accompanied the good old Republican administration. The choice of the people has again been expressed in the nomination of a man wholly for their cause. The passing, convention has been marked by the results of more Negro influence, than has any former convention and reflects a most gratifying culmination of the real merit of the Negro vote. From every viewpoint the contest deals with absolute frankness and fairness. Taft has proven the right man for the honorable position just conferred upon him. His open-mindedness, his whole-hearted interest in the welfare of America and Americans has fittingly passed him into his realm and now will conic the future as it should. Our interests will be guarded and enhanced as would not be possible under any other circumstances. Meeting every national question with the proper procedure, Laft will step into the Presidential harness with the same fairness that has characterized his office as secretary of war. With no race or other discrimination we are certain of that harmony so necessary to the best good of a nation that stands for freedom and equalization. William Howard Taft is the most timely and practical presidential nominee for now. He will carry out more general lines of national need than could any other presidential possibility regardless of party feeling of any sort. No thinking voter will hesitate to cast his vote. He will adopt and as certain of continuation as that provided in the present Republican campaign and platform. The Western Enterprise has stood for Taft from the very beginning, believing that in so doing we are not only protecting the future of our own race but are 'enlightening and co-operating with the great public who were to gain or lose more in this fall's election than in any former election inasmuch as the conditions coupled with this particular casting of ballots were of such great weight. We feel absolute confidence in and pride ourselves on the loyal support given to the campaign and know that the unbiased vote of the Negro will offer due credit to the man who draws no color line or makes no distinction between all citizens of worth in all stations of life. Let us all from this day on boost for William Howard - Taft.—Colorado Springs Western Enterprise. DR. W. O. EMORY. In a Ringing Speech at Dayton, Comes Out for Taft. DAYTON, OH, June 20—Rev. J. G. Robinson, D.D., pastor of Eaker Street A. M. E. Church, has returned from the Republican National Convention. He has been very active throughout the country, working for the nomination of Secretary Talt, and to allay the opposition against the Republican party, which has been agitated by the Constitutional League of New York. Dr. Robinson in the last three months has spoken to large audiences in Philadelphia, New York, Washington, Chicago, Louisville and other cities. He has plead with the Afro-American to stand by the Republican party, and to support the Chicago ticket. He urges that President Roosevelt has done more toward opening the door of opportunity for the Negro than any other man since the nation begun. Dr. Robinson was accompanied from Chicago by Dr. O. W. Emory, of Macon, Ga., who, as a delegate to the Chicago Convention, seconded the nomination of Senator Foraker for President, and made a most favorable impression. Dr. Robinson arranged a mass meeting of colored citizens of Dayton, at the Enterprise Hall, and Dr. Emory spoke on the political situation as it effects the Negro—and the Negro's duty in the coming campaign. Attorney M. H. Jones presided at the meeting. Quite 1,000 were present. Among other things Dr. Emory said: "It is the duty of the Negro to stand by the ticket nominated by the Chicago Republican National Convention for the reason that the history of the Republican party is the history of the Negro's enamulation and enfranchisement, while the history of the Democratic party for eighty years past is the history of the Negro's enslavement and degradation up to this hour. "The Democratic party to-day is the promoted enemy of the Negro in every effort that he makes for his civil and political emancipation—the father of Jim Crowism, ballot box stuffing and distrustment schemes of every conceivable sort and kind. This being true I cannot conceive how any single Negro-American in the states where our votes count could for a moment think of voting the Democratic ticket. Let every Negro in the states vote the counts, think of the fearful consequences that would follow if by their staying at home, or voting with the opposition, would bring upon us—their brethren in the Southland by the election of a Democratic president and congress. "Several of the judges of the Supreme Court of the United States, are turning into the evening of life—the honorable and faithful servants have rendered to their country distinguished services, and according to the natural course of things must give place to others—and the next President of the United States, in the natural course of things will very likely be called upon to appoint successors to several of these worthy servants. By reason consistent with situations some of them may retire during the next four years. Think of what our brethren might bring upon us, by the election of a Democratic president who would have to appoint judges of the United States Supreme Court. "Think of the splendid opportunity the Negro voters in these States would give to our enemies, to place upon the U. S. supreme bench a Tillman, a Vardaman, or a Jeff. Davis—men who have sworn upon their knees, at the altar of his satanic majesty, never to rest until they have destroyed the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution of the United States—amendments that are written in the blood of 600,000 of the best American patriots that ever drew the sword, and the expenditure of billions of gold—amendments written into the constitution by the blood of thousands of black patriots who fought the 'liberty from Bunker Hill to Appomattox. "I cannot believe that there is a single Negro voter in all America who will think of the memory of these sacrificing heroes for one moment, who would vote the Democratic ticket." "Now, as a strong supporter of that great and matchless character, Senator Foraker, in his candidacy for the nomination before the Republican National Convention at Chicago, the convention having made its choice, I join with him, and all other good Republicans, in support of the ticket of our party, believing always in the wisdom of the majority, and feel certain that we have in the standard-bearer of our party one of the greatest and best of American statesmen. A man of intelligence, experience, and poise of character, that will mote out to every citizen in his conervat cast, equal and exact justice. And further, that he will as the chief executive of our nation go the length of his constitutional powers to protect the humbleest citizen in his constitutional rights, without regard to race, color or previous condition of servitude. "The Hon. Wm. H. Taft has a history and a record that fully justifies me in making this declaration. "Further, I want to call your attention to the attitude of the Taft forces from Ohio—which action was directed by Mr. Taft—voted against the change of the basis of representations in party councils, and thus saved the disfranchisement of our peope in the councils of the party. "In face of this fact, I will state again, that there is not a Negro voter in Ohio that can be persuaded to vote against the candidate of our party—especially after he has thoroughly acquainted himself with all the questions at issue. "The platform adopted at Chicago is a business-like declaration that must appeal to all intelligent Americans." "Dr T. H. Jackson, of Little Rock, Ark., also addressed the meeting. Dr. Jackson's speech made a great hit and brought the house down with an aplause." DR. WASHINGTON IN LOUISVILLE Makes Three Mirroring Addresses and Is Knuthometrically Reversed. LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 27—Dr. Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee Institute, concluded here Wednesday night a series of remarkable meetings. On Monday evening, June 22, he was the principal speaker before the International Sunday School Association, on which occasion he spoke to an audience of more than 10,000. He fame as an orator and his high character as a citizen drew the largest audience of the session of the association to the great Armory Hall, where the meetings have been held. Delegates from 27 countries as well as from every state in the union listened with much attention to the recognition of the Negro as a citizen, and only serving of the best support of the American people. It was an address pitched on an especially high plane, delivered with all of Dr. Washington's rare felicity of expression, and won for him and his race the sympathy and interest of the hundreds gathered for the evening. His appeal was well calculated to help the Negro people in that larger sense, and have no doubt that much good will follow. Every day of this notable address, Dr. James E. Schoenham, S. C., one of the colored secretaries of the International Sunday School Association, also spoke for 15 or 20 minutes. On the next day at the special invitation of the board of managers Dr. Washington addressed the Industrial School of Reform, of which Hon. Peter Calwell is the superintendent Dr. Washington, Mr. W. H. Steward, the editor of the American Baptist; Dr. Washington's secretary, Mr. Scott; and Col. J. H. Leathers, chairman of the board of managers, were met at the gate by a band made up entirely of white boys of the institute, and escorted through the grounds to the assembly room of one of the buildings. More than 500 white boys and girls together with the colored boys and girls were lined up to receive him, and were lined reviewed by Dr. Washington, and the above party named. Colonel Leathers, who is cashier of the Louisville National Banking Co., introduced Dr. Washington. Many white citizens from the City of Louisville were present. On Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock, Dr. Washington spoke again in the Masonic Theatre in the interest of the Eckstein theater in the city of which Dr. C. H. Parish is president. The audience was almost entirely divided and colored citizens. In spite of the hot weather a large audience had gathered to hear this third of his messages. Dr. Washington spoke for nearly two hours with the same convincing breadth of voice and with a frankness well calculated to help those who listened to him. During his stay here many social courtesies were extended him by his hosts, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Steward; Dr. C. H. Parish, and the colored citrus of whom Louisville, more than twenty of whom were carriages at the depot on the morning of the day, and escorted him to the home of Mr. Steward, and afterward to Dr. Parish's, where breakfast was served. The same afternoon a trolley ride in which many representative colored citizens, men and women, participated, went over all the municipal lines of cities and outlying periphery of Washington, is at home in Louisville and is always a recipient of marked and distinguished consideration. The Most Excellent Grand Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, State of Massachusetts, held its annual convention at the apartments of St. Phillips Chapter, Cambridge, Mass., on June 18th. There were present members of the Grand Chapter and representations from the 1st and 2d Masonic districts and from the subordinate chapters. The morning session was devoted to the various committees on credentials, returns, reports, auditing, and the routine reports of treasurer and secretary, M. E. G. H. P.'s address. Dinner was served at the hall by a caterer. The afternoon session was a lively and interesting one. The election of officer, resulted as follows: M. E. Grand High Priest, Ernest A. Kenswil, Boston; D. G. High Priest, John S. Brown, Cambridge; Grand King, Joseph Gray, Springfield; Grand Scribe, Benjamin C. Hazel, Cambridge; Grand Treasurer, Walter King, Boston; Grand Secretary, R. C. Wilson Woburn. Appointive Officers—Gr. Captain the host, Perry H. Morris; Prin. Soujourner, William H. Skanks; Royal Arch Captain, Daniel H. Milligan; Chaplain, Samuel B. Hutchinson; Master of 1st Veil, James W. Floyd; Master of 2d Veil, Thomas H. Simmons; Master of 3d Veil, Charles R. Caine, Marshall, James H. Finch; Organist, James A. Langley; Tyrler, H. C. Davis. Jennerson CITY, Mo., July 1.—The Cole County Democrat, one of the leading daily papers of Jefferson City, contained in its Saturday edition, June 13. (an equivalent for Sunday's paper, no Sunday's edition being published), the following write-up of the graduating exercises and orations of the senior class, so highly praised by Secretary of State Hon. John E. Swanger: A very appreciative audience listened to the graduating exercises of the senior class of 86 of Lincoln Institute June 12. The literary program was under the supervision of Prof. J. S. Yates, department of English, and each member received a glowing tribute of praise as to selection, thought and delivery from the Hon. John E. Swanger, secretary of state, who gave the graduating address and delivered the diplomas. The literary numbers or orations were as follows: Oration, "The Necessity of Moral Education," Edward Clark. This discussion contained a strong plea for more effective moral training in the schools of to-day. Oration, "The Poetry of Whittier," was an excellent discussion of the verse of this American master of lyric verse, and effective tribute to his beautiful life and character. Oration, "Education and Civic Prosperity." Edward T. McDowell, demonstrated the very close relationship which exists between-education in all its phases and the prosperity of the state. No nation can rise above its educational ideals. All phases of education must be developed. Oration, "Altruism, an Element of National Greatness," Houston Schweich, indicated that the individual and national greed seriously interferes with a nation's permanent greatness, and altruism or the desire to be helpful to others, is the only remedy for this evil. "A small group of financiers should not control the productive labor of the most democratic nation on earth." Oration, "Industrial Education and the American School System," Victor Collins, discussed the rise and growth of industrial education in America and demonstrated that the principle of vocational motive is one of the latest and best principles of the industrial idea has brought into the American school system. Oration. "The Elizabethan Drama," Ida Garnett, discussed the origin of the drama, and the immortal work of the great dramatists of the Elizabethan age, from both literary and dramatic points of view. Oration. "The Evolution of the Home," Beulah D. Payne, was an eloquent testimonial to the home as a purifying force from the time of its origin in prehistoric days until the present time. "Lincoln Institute is doing much to elevate the home life of the Negro," said the speaker. Oration. "The American Farmer," William Cesar Scott, was very much interest in its very clear exposition of the value of the farmer to the prosperity of the nation. "The American farmer has always stood for progress, prosperity and honesty." Oration. "Savonarola, Reformer, Priest, Prophet," Zenobia Jackson, was a vivid picture of the life and character of this great Florentine monk who was shown to be a logical sequence in a long line of reformers. Oration, "Optimism," with valedictory address, was a forcible plea that each look for the bright side of life, looking difficulties squarely in the face with a vow to mastering them. The farewell was in every sense a touching appeal and a high testimonial of gratitude to the state of Missouri and all who had made education of the class a possibility. President Allen then introduced Secretary of State Hon. John E. Sawager in happy remarks, during which he spoke forcibly of the great friend the secretary had been and is to the institution. PETTIFORD-GODDARD WEDDING. Event of Social Season at Spring- Live in Boston— Biddeford Notes SPRINGFIELD, Mass, June 23.—The social event of the season was the marriage of Miss Laura Martin Potfford, of this city, to Mr. Julius R. Goddard, of Boston. The ceremony took place Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock at the residence of Mrs. H. J. Harper, in Tselier street, sister of the bride. The mutual knot was tied by Rev. William N. DeDerry, of this city. The bride was Miss Laura Martin Potfford, of Springfield, as maid of honor, and Miss Lulu Harper and Helen Gray, nieces of the bride, as bridesmids. The bride was handsomely attired in a gown of white India silk, with Irish lace trimmings. The maid of honor wore white silk mulle with lace insertion, while the two bridesmids were robed in blue and pink silk mulle resplendent, the bride each of attendants carried boutons of sweet peas. The bride was given, away by her brother-in-law, Mr. Burrell Walters, Sr. The groom was attended by Mr. Burrell Rell, Jr., of Springfield, and nephew to the bride. The ushers were Messrs Harvey, Harper, Jr., and Jr. nephew to the bride. The wedding counsel to the Lobengrin' by Miss Missola Rolling.

Miss Louise James, of Hartford, is visiting Dr. and Mrs. G. L. Phillips, of Manhattan street, for a week or so. Probably one of the most interesting happenings of social importance of last week was the wedding and the reception of Rev. LeRoy Butler, pastor of St. James Presbyterian Church, to Mrs. Grace E. Tompkins. Cupid has been hovering over the head of the popular pastor for manv. months, and finally pounced down upon him with great splendor. The wedding was looked forward to with much pleasure, and delight by the many friends of the popular couple, and a host of friends with them a long life of happiness, and success. The wedding occurred last Wednesday evening, June 24, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Payn, in Bethlehem, Pa., the wedding was witnessed by the intimate friends of the family, Rev. C. H. Trusty, of Jersey, officiated. The home was beautifully and artistically decorated with ferns and wedding flowers. After the last word by Dr. Trusty, pronouncing the couple man and wife, they were immensely overwhelmed with congratulations from friends who knew Rev. Butler when he was a student in Lincoln University, and other friends of Mrs. Butler. Rev. and Mrs. Butler spent the evening at Bethlehem, and took the morning train for New York. While the wedding was going on in Bethlehem, the many friends of Rev. and Mrs. Butler and the congregation of St. James Church, were preparing for a welcome reception which occurred at the church Thursday evening, June 25. A large gathering of friends and admirers greeted the bride and groom, and extended to them a most heartfelt and enthusiastic welcome. The reception was attended by well known professional and business men. It was an evidence at the high esteem in which Rev. and Mrs. Butler are held in this city. Among the distinguished visitors were: Dr. W. H. Dunn, of the New York Observer, who read an appropriate selection, especially composed for the occasion. Among the other distinguished guests were Rev. Dr. W. H. Brooks, of St. Marks, Rev. Dr. W. A. Alexander, of Brooklyn, Rev. C. H. Trusty, of Jersey City, Rev. W. H. Holden, Drs. E. P., and C. H. Roberts. Delicious refreshments were served. They enter upon their new life with the best wishes of a host of ardent admirers, who wish for them a pleasant trip across the matrimonial sea. Rev. Butler, since his work in this city, has made a profound impression upon the religious and community life of the people of this city. He is a thoroughly Christian gentleman and never fails to inspire those with whom he comes in contact. He is identified with various benevolent movements of the city. He is a graduate of Lincoln University, and is amply trained for his life work. His sermons are of a high character and never fail to inspire those who are fortunate enough to hear them. St. James Presbyterian Church, of which Rev. Butler is pastor, is one of the most influential churches in the city. Mrs. Butler is well known in church and social circles in New York. Her winning ways have won for her many friends throughout the city. She will prove an excellent helpmate to Rev. Butler. THE AGE joins with others in wishing for Rev. and Mrs. Butler a most pleasant and prosperous voyage. HOWARD UNIVERSITY WASHINGTON D.C. WILBUR P.

Contrary to recent reports, Harrison and Seamon, will send the "Oyster Man" Company on the road this fall, and Harrison Stewart has been signed to play the leading comedy role.

This means that within a short time the company will be selected. Forty-odd performers will be carried with the company. Vaudeville Jettings. Perrin and Crosby are at Inman's LESTER A. WALTON " EURO TOM " Only a few weeks ago one of the musical wonders of the age—"Blind Tom"—died in Hoboken, N. J. While many Negro newspapers made mention of his death in their news columns, but a few referred to him editorially, the editors evidently being too busy with politics at the time. In every section of the country the writer noted that the big daily papers regarded "Blind Tom's" death as a great loss, and on their editorial pages expressed themselves accordingly. The few editorials the writer read from the pen of Negro editors did not express any great sorrow over the death of "Blind Tom," but commented relative to the amount of money he made during life and what, if any, he left at his death. What "Blind Tom" had accomplished in an artistic way and the amount of good he did in showing the musical possibilities of the race was not mentioned. Just the commercial side of the musician's life was taken into consideration—judging from the editors. It is true that "Blind Tom" made thousands of dollars during his life whereby others grew rich by his piano playing. But it must be remembered that, although "Blind Tom" was a musical wonder, he was born a slave with no business qualifications nor independence of spirit to combat in the commercial world. Then, again, he was blind, which made him more dependent. Born blind even during this day and time, "Blind Tom" would have fared much better financially, for, in the first place, he would not have been a slave, and, secondly, he would have attained a higher degree of mental development that would have enabled him to think and act more for himself. Regardless of "Blind Tom's" powers at the piano, we cannot forget that he was born a slave and until after the war was carried about the country as recognized goods and chattel. Even the liberation of the slaves did not mean as much freedom to him as it did to hundreds of others. He was under the management of his former master and later the son of his master, and they made money with him long after the close of the Civil War. It must not be overlooked that "Blind Tom" was taken by his master when very young and turned over to an instructor; that the prodigy developed a fondness as well as unlimited confidence in his master, which, was perfectly natural. After slavery days he did not pine for a change—he was satisfied, as were many slaves who had been given their freedom, but who were well content to remain with their former masters. The independence of spirit that now characterizes the race in many quarters was then absent. Conditions were vastly different to what they are today. Financially, "Blind Tom" was a failure—to himself. But, artistically, he was a success and molded sentiment for his people, which is oftimes worth more than money. As the writer stated above, the daily papers throughout the United States commented editorially upon the death of "Bind Tom," which all declared a loss to his race and to the musical world. But of all the articles written there is one that stands above the rest—an eulogy by Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal; which reads as follows: I cannot trust myself to write of him as I feel. It is as if some trust, well-loved mastiff—mute but affectionate—closely associate with the dead and gone—had been suddenly recalled to be suddenly taken away. The wires that flash his death lighten a picture gallery for me of the old, familiar faces. What was he? Whence came he? Was he the Prince of the fairy tale held by the wicked Enchantress; nor any Beauty—not even the Heaven-born Maid of Melody—to release him? Blind, deformed, and black—as black even as Erebus—idioxy, the idiom of a mysterious, frenetic life; the colo-ration of his waking visions and his dreams—whence came he, and was he, and wherefore? That there was a soul there, be sure, imprisoned, chained, in that little black bosom, released at last; gone to the angels, not to imitate the seraph-songs of Heaven, but to join the Choir Invisible forever and forever. Such is the sentiments of one of the best writers in the country relative to the death of "Blind Tom," and it cannot be denied that they are beautifully expressed. It is true that "Blind Tom" was born a slave, deformed and black, to use the words of Henry Watterson. But within him was a soul that while living expressed itself by the Heaven-born Maid of Melody and charmed thousands of people during life time - white and black alike; a soul that during life crushed sentiment for the Negro on earth, and one that will live in a world without end. Marvelous Stewart to Appear in "Mister Man" Company. Contrary to recent reports, Hurts and Seamon, will send the "Oyster Man" Company on the road this fall, and Harrison Stewart has been signed to play the leading comedy tracta were made after Harrison Stewart had engendered a long conference with Hogan, who is in New Jersey on a farm.

They did not remain at Human's the entire week, owing to a misunderstanding between the management of the theatre and the "Bon Bon Buddies."

June 28.—Binghamton seems to appreciate colored acts, judging from the reception of the band. There are two parks here. Ross Park has a vaudeville bill with two acts on it. P. W. Cooper, ventriloquist, late of Richard and Pringle's Minstrels, has made and has been a performer at the auditions and has been at Ross' two weeks. Another number on the bill is Black and Jones, who made such a hit that they were offered additional glimpse, but the band has not booked. Both said regards to their many professional friends. Another aggregation of colored performers is booked at the Casino. Among them are S. Mckissick and Allie Gillam. Wagner Attacked: Modern Hymns Declared to Be Rubbish. Sensation after sensation was sprung at the recent convention of the Missouri State Music Teachers' Convention, held in St. Louis, on one occasion Charles Galloway, orphaned of St. Peter's Episcopal Church, St. Louis, and prominently known as a musician throughout the United States, when he joined churches and declared that the modern bymes are written by music gaklers and are rubbish. Mr. Galloway took a sling at Ira D. Sankey and other singing evangelists for the brand of music they have injected into the hymn books, and he made the assertion that church music is confronted with enough theories "to give one the willies." "Some of the church music now in vogue," he declared, "is about as apprehensive as a 'ball gown at a funeral.'" To remedy existing conditions, the author of the paper recommended the mixed chorus, instead of the mixed chorus, which had been used the Sunday school, and a new hymn book for congregational singing, containing "fewer hymns and only ones ladder like Martin's sheer or religious Christian musicians, one of whom, John Sebastian Bach, stands pre-eminently at the top. Much of the music sung in many of our choirs to-day is the singing of cheap and tawdry. It is musical rubbish; light, sentimental, undignified. If not sacrilegious; a meaningless conglomeration of distorted and undeveloped music, the formation of musical lattices, the like of whom Florian, doubtless, in mind when he wrote: "Every one, to his trade; then would the cows be well cared for." Mr. Gailoway described some of the authors of present-day church music as "musical fakirs" and "pretenders to music and declared that the character of their "stuff" is just rhythmic. "Rhythm principally touches the sensual elements of our nature," he added. "If rhythm predominates, melody and harmony usually are the surreal elements that the body largely predominates. Rhythm is the ruling element of the dance. The dance rhythm touches our nerve and it makes our feet move. A dance conatai makes plaining an body with plain harmony and a coded rhythm natural that such music should be popular with children and with the uneducated. I may in all seriousness laws should be enacted which would prohibit the publication of many of the songs some and meristerious musical productions. "If obscene literature is suppressed, why not impure music? In singing in the majority, of our churches is anything but thrilling." G. Malloway wet on. "In fact, in some of them it hardly can be called singing. It is not even a joyful noise, to use the words of the German churches. He makes an exception of the German churches, which sing "Bin Feste Burg," declaring that there every man, women and child sing Leshter's famous hymn with unbounded enthusiasm. It is in a range that all can join in, he explains, and is inspiring and heroic, besides. He severe in Mr. Galloway on Sunday school music. "I say unhesitatingly that it is a shame and a crime that our young people are not singing that our old boys and girls (giving such dismal and disheartening words, sometimes set to the melodies of ribald songs, as: efforts of the club to develop and organize the latest musical talent of the race. Mr. Agnes Agame responded in behalf of the club in enthusiastic words of encouragement. He heard the very creditable rendition of the sacred cantata "Brahmanar" last Thursday evening at the Ebenezer Baptist Church on West, Springfield street, amateur theatricals were in the cast and together with the large well-trained chorus under Musical Director J. H. Barkley, gave a performance and the band. The instrumentalists were Mrs. Lilian Ray, pianist: Mr. Fred P. White, or visible" had it in "account stumbling" "bobery." Negro professor asked the teacher whispered and Francis H. H. Cleveland chairman of a force to cook order that other of the children jaw breaking and consonant Soon I'll reach the heavenly snort. Almost home! How sweet it soundeth To the heart that's work with care, to be pure and possess dignity, should have body and solidarity, not thinness and catchiness; it should be strong and uncompromising, and good music published to-day," he added, "if the managers of church choirs will only select it and employ organization to give proper interpretation." Sensation No. 2 was in order when O. H. Hawley read a paper on "Absolute Music the Music in the Future," which caused considerable comment, because the renders attach on Wagner, whose music was termed very bad. In his paper Mr. Hawley said in part: "When I speak of absolute music as the music of the future, I mean that in comparison short, time-lay fifty or more years ahead, but such music as opera as we know it; no such thing as that curiosity, the music drama; no such thing as that musical hodge-podge, the anthem, in which the music is so different and varied to different tunes and phrases until the original meaning of them has been obscured by the manner of their final use; "I want to say that I am utterly opposed, to all the so-called music opposed, to all the music Written by Verdi, Berdit, Bizet, Massonet, Goldmark and all the rest who have given the world these frightful and distorted pictures of life or legend dressed up with music to make it agreeable and to teach a man." "Comic operas of the better type are enjoyable because they are not put forward with any serious purpose. They are frankly for the purpose of amusement, and as such they fulfill their purpose, and as such they fulfill their purpose, and as such they fulfill their purpose, but fall miserably." Growing out of the papers read at the convention several newspapers have taken up the discussion. The St. Louis music critic, the following editorial under the caption, "Music Assaulted from the Interior," Missouri music critics are frankly dividing us that music be here and elsewhere is no better than it should be. Those pungent delta fairly express the view of the intrastate criticism. There is no spiritual uplift about church music, but rather it is sensuous: 'grand opera is a heterogeneous mass of howling,' silly, 'rotten.' Wagging, the pop music, 'comic opera is punkish, the pop music is punkish, the Shade of the Old Apple Tree,' appeal to the lowest in man: 'as for the photograph and the mechanical plane, they are abominable,' 'a professional mess for a living knows as much about music as a toad knows about the higher criticism.' Either music is a pretty hopeless mess or critics are billed. In other event we are relieved to note that the Jewsharp and the old-fashioned fiddler with Turkey Straw 'remain to us unchallenged and undisturbed in their perfection.'

C., he met the late Efraim Kennedy, and met many of Washington's leading musicians. New Method of Piano Playing Versus the Old. The plano dealers recently in conference here have uttered a comforting prediction as to the future effect upon their trade of the mechanical instruments. It appears from their statements that the sale of these appliances has grown steadily larger, while the teachers of plano report simultaneously that the number of their pupils has so far shown no decrease in the number of students not diminished and the demand for planos supplied with the new appliances is ever increasing. Thus it appears that the machines have tended to multiply the demand for planos whose lack of early training compels them to take their enjoyment on the mechanical instruments. Experience has shown that the mechanical players do not discourage the use of playing the plano. The new method of making music does not divert them from the effort to learn in the old fashioned way. So here is one case in which the triumph of the mechanical process has eliminated the art which surgested—New York Sun. MAIL BOX: bla I. Mineford. Jue Jordan. jessie E. L. F. Mores. Hoboken Agnus Win. Annotated by Umpire. New Yorkers have been enthusiastic in their support of Sunday base ball over in Hoboken, but there is one thing the management had better do, and the quickly, no-get another team. Mr. Mercury has handed the visiting tennis than a fruit vendor sells during the torrid season. He is all right until the game is at a critical stage, and then he will render a decision in favor of the home team every time. Among the teams which have been vexed by Merrity's bad decisions are the Cuban Giants, the Royal Giants and the Philadelphia Giants. He has assisted in the defeat of each of these teams. The management had better give him the 'twenty-three' special for Hoboken. Base ball is a clean sport and people want to see the team win which plays the better game. As usual a large crowd attended the doubleheader in Hoboken last Sunday. In the first game the Cuban Giants defeated the Philadelphia Giants by the The second match was hotly contested, and the Hoboken Giants won in the last half of the ninth inning with two out.

NEGRO GIRL CHAMPIÓN SPELLER Thirteen-Year-Old Colored Child Gets 500 Words Right...Wine Gold Badge. CLEVELAND, June 29—Marie C. Bolden, the thirteen-year-old daughter of a letter carrier of this city, won today the championship in the National Intercity spelling bee, held in connection with the annual convention of the National Education Association. The dusky maid spelled correctly the 500 words submitted to her—writing 100 of them and spelling 400 orally—winning from sixty children representing Cleveland, New Orleans, Erie, Pa., and Pittsburgh. When the gold badge certifying she was the champion child speller of the United States was pinned in her she was warmly kissed after some of the youngsters from Dixie joining in the demonstration by shaking hands with her. Each city was represented by fifteen children of the eighth grade in the public schools. More than six thousand persons assembled in the Hippodrome to hear the contest. The children were given numbers and received the words the inquisitors knowing which city they represented. Each city given an individual percentage and the total was counted for each class. Mac Thursby, of Pittsburg, was a tie with the little Negro girl, spelling all of the words, but her teammates failed her, and she with her class took second place. Her class missed forty-five written and two oral tests, while the Cleveland class missed only thirty-eight written and two oral tests. Her class missed fifty-two written and four oral, while Erie misted seventy-five written and two oral. "Misspelled," one of the test words, was by an odd coincidence, among the most freely misspelled in the list. "Di- visible" had its terrors for many, too, while "accommodate" was a popular stumbling block. "Sovereign," "cemetery," "Negroes," "restaurant," and "professor also proved difficult." The teachers in the audience talked, whispered and made so much noise that Francis H. Haserot, president of the Cleveland Board of Education and chairman of the spelling contest, was forced to scold them time after time in order that others might hear the efforts of the children in their battle with the jaw breaking combinations of vowels and consonants provided by the committee. "You'll have to stay after, school and write your names a hundred times—one hundred times each" showed the teacher. At last he obtained calm of a kind and the contest went to victory for Cleveland. Stage fright was the occasion of several rounds of heartless laughter, while the spelling and pronouncing of syllables evoked enthusiastic merriment. It is estimated that 20,000 more teachers are here for the convention, which opened today and will begin business in earnest tomorrow, when many thousands more will arrive. The National Negro Business League was represented on the program by Hon. C. Napier, a member of the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League. The following announcements were published for the interest and guidance of delegates and others; Announcements The National Negro Business League will meet in Baltimore, August 19 to 21. Reduced rates will be granted on the certificate plan in addition to the usual summer tourist rates to the East.

Rowan, secretary, will each hold meetings in the "Hill City" during the week of the League meeting. Reduced rates will be granted parties desiring to attend these meetings, as well as the League. Conscious of the fact that the Negro press of the State has wrought invaluable services of the League in keeping its aims and purposes conspicuously before the people; and appreciating the great good that has resulted from its persistent prosecution of the campaign of business education, it is very earnestly desired that each member of the fraternity shall attend and participate Prof. Chas. H. Anderson's Dancing Classes. Graduation of Miss Florence E. Madoger Oratory and music were the attractive features of the graduation exercises of the public school in West Twenty-eight street between sixth and Seventh streets, between Third and Fifth, where Miss Florence E. Madocer was one of the graduates, and the performance of her part in the program reflected great credit on the teachers. Miss Madocer being the best scholar in the institution, she was awarded, and a handsome book from her teacher; also many other presents from friends. A piano solo was rendered by her, showing much musical talent, and causing great admiration among the students of the country very soon, to return in the fall to take a college course. Youkera Notes.

WE DO ALL KINDS OF OF JOB PRINTING Having been appointed by the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League as organizer of Local Leagues, we left our home (Greenboro, N.C.) the second week in May to spend a while at Teaguee Institute, Ala., learning the details of the work upon which we had been elected to enter. elected to the After a few weeks' study, and in the meantime corresponding with some of the responsible officials of the different Local Leagues, informing them of my coming and setting a date for meetings in their respective commun- ities, I left Tuskegee Monday, the 8th st., for Montgomery, where my first appointment was Owing to many of the officials of the Local League being out of the city at the time on business, it was deemed best not to try to hold a meeting at this time. So it was postponed to the aid inst, when we will return, and have every reason to believe that a large turn out of the business men and women will Welcome to our stay there, however, of two days, we spent the time in going around getting acquainted with the business varied pursuits of life. then in it was our fortune to fall into the hands of Mr. V. H. Tulane, of 401 S. Ripley street; who is doing a very extensive and successful business in the grocery line, in a splendid two-story, pressed brick structure. The first floor is well stocked with almost anything in the grocery business that one may call for. One the second floor is the home life, spent together with his congenial help-mate and wife's mother. help in In his buggy Mr. Tulane took us around the afternoon we arrived and made us acquainted with most of the business men and some business women. Our individual, conferences with each and all were very satisfactory. and in we visit. As a result of our visit and different interviews had we find that Montgomery has a substantial group of live, pushing men of the race, who are conscious of the importance and necessity of making a reputation for good in the financial and commercial arena. After our next visit, the 23d, we shall give some more information relative to other men of business and their success. The next point of destination was Selma. Here we met Prof. R. B. Hudson, principal of the Clark High School, and also secretary of the National Baptist Convention. Prof. Hudson kindly took us around in his buggy and acquainted us with the different business and professional men, of whom we found quite a large number in the various pursuits, such as merchants in groceries and dry goods, butchers, undertakers, blacksmiths, shoe and harness makers, wheelwrights, upholsterers, tailors, painters, physicians (medical, dental, optical), teachers, etc. Prof. Hudson and brother run a large wood and coal yard, and notwithstanding there are three other wood and coal yards run by white men, the Hudson's business is largely patronized by the whites also, so we were reliably informed. On the night of our arrival we held a meeting of the business men in the office of Dr. Brown who, by the way, was the first colored optician it has been our pleasure to meet. He is a graduate of the school in South Bend, Ind., and is doing a very satisfactory business. When the hour arrived for the speaking there was a goodly attendance. After we had explained the object of our mission and set forth the benefits to be derived from organization in business activities, a number of short speeches were then made by those present, seconding what had been said by the organizer. Then officers of the League were elected, and steps taken to become affiliated with the national body by raising the money to secure a charter by the next meeting. The spirit of the meeting was very hopeful and encouraging. Our people here are very industrious and law-abiding; fully one-half own their homes. There seems to be an air of contentment prevailing, which speaks well for both races. We next went to Greensboro, where we were entertained by Mr. Ad. Wimbs and his pleasant wife. Mr. Wimbs took us in charge and in a short while we met more business men of our race than we had dreamed could be found in such a small town. For we were told that the population is not more than three or four thousand of both races—the colored being two to one of the white. Yes, we met thirty-five Negro men engaged in different kinds of business in this small town, and we were told that we had not seen all of them then. While, doubtless, each one deserves to be mentioned, nevertheless I wish to speak especially of Mr. Wm. Thomas, who is not only a blacksmith doing a large and lucrative business, but also an inventor of more than ordinary skill and note. He has been successful in inventing three articles, viz: a wagon seat; an envelope that can be locked, so that if it is opened, it may be detected, a contrivance for loosening a runaway horse from a vehicle, thereby saving probable injury to the occupant, and at the same time stopping the horse also. His most important and valuable invention, however, is a simple fixture, which can be adapted to a stove or furnace of any size, where you burn wood or coal, and by the aid of this simple construction all the gases are concentrated and consumed without the emission of any smoke (if any, scarcely perceptable) in the process of combustion. If we had not seen the experiment amply tested for our information and to relieve our doubts of such a thing being possible, we would scarcely believe what has now been successfully demonstrated before our eyes as a fact. Mr. Thomas, like all Negro inventors, and perhaps thousands of white orcs too, is unfortunately confronted with a condition that is peculiar to the great majority of the race, viz: he has not the money to push his inventions to a successful issue. He says that he is going to the next annual meeting of the Black Horse Business League, not only to come in touch with the business men of his race and get inspiration and stimulation by so doing; but he hopes that he may meet some of our weekly men there, who after he has explained his inventions, will be willing to finance some, if not all of them. He says that he can get wider men to furnish the money, but after a bitter experience with two of them he lost $5,000 (which he might have made on one of his inventions) on account of their wanting more than one-half of the profits, to which he objected, thereby losing out. We wonder if any of our men of wealth will recognize a good thing when they see it, especially this last invention of Mr. Thomas? By the way, Mr. Thomas is a graduate of Tuskegee. We meet the business men of Greensboro that night, and had quite an interesting and profitable meeting. Here, as in Selma, new officers were elected and fresh blood injected into the Local League. They are now determined to become connected with the National League with which they haven't affiliated heretofore, so they raised a part of the money that night for the Charter. The balance will be raised before, or at the next meeting, the following week. The last appointment of this week was at Tuskaloosa. Prof. B. H. Barnes kindly showed us around and introduced us to his people; and that night, Friday the 12th instant, we met and talked to a large crowd in the new and beautiful Baptist Church just completed at the beginning of the year. There is a healthy business sentiment in this community. The Local League already has a Charter, and from now on will get ready to send a delegate to Baltimore. Tuskaloosa is a beautiful place with wide streets, massive oaks and elms of dense foliage. The colored people are well-to-do as a rule-over half of them owning beautiful homes, elegantly furnished, with taste. Flower gardens not unfrequently ornamenting the front. In all the places we visited this week, on inquiry we learned that the relationship existing between the two races is very cordial. We found, no complaint whatever on the part of the intelligent, well-behaved colored citizen. If there is any in any other quarter, we just happened not to come across it. From here we are on to Birmingham, the Great Hot Blast region of the South. Leaving Tuscaloosa, our next object point was Birmingham, the stirring, hustling, Greater Birmingham, which we found most prominently in evidence "on the map." Here is a live, progressing local Business League with a membership of one hundred and fifty-six; Mr. J. P. Bond being its president, and Mr. W. A. Rayfield, secretary. We met with the League. Tuesday night, the 16th inst., and listened to the discussion of very interesting and timely questions pertaining to the welfare of the organization by members selected for the occasion. After the regular routine of business of the evening was despatched, we then were introduced by President Bond to the members of the local Negro Business League of Greater Birmingham as the representative of the National Negro Business League, who would address them at this time. After our remarks, the rest of the evening was turned into an "experience meeting," according to a suggestion made by the president, which feature of the evening proved quite valuable and interesting. It was very evident from the trend of the speeches made by some of the leading members on that occasion that they manifestly realize the "raison d'être," and are going to take steps to perpetuate and magnify their position so as to become a fortress and a stronghold in the Negro business of that thriving community. The Negro business man is a conspicuous factor here—following the bent of his commercial proclivities not in the suburbs merely, but right in the heart of the city. Time and space will not permit us to name all whom we met and talked with during our sojourn of a few days here—they are too numerous to mention. But there is Dr. W. R. R. Pettiford, well-known in the Negro business realm as one of our successful pioneer Negro bankers, president of the Penny Savings Bank; Dr. U. G. Mason, away at the time helping to nominate Mr. Taft for the Presidency; Mr. B. Y. Bond & Co., doing a very prosperous business in the haberdashery line, and also president of the local league; Mr. W. A. Rayfield, a successful architect and also secretary of the league; Dr. W. L. Lauderdale, president of the Peoples' Investment and Banking Company; Mr. John F. A. McConico, general manager of The Peoples Mutual Aid Association. The professions are also well looked after in the ministry and pedagogical lines, legal and medical. There are the Brown Brothers, both very successful in their respective callings, E. A. Brown, Esq, and Dr. A. M. Brown. By the way, the latter is having built a $10,000 mansion, which was begun last August and will probably be ready for occupancy by next October. The workmen, so we are told, have not stopped work a day on it (except Sundays) since they started. It is built mostly of cement blocks and contain 16 or 18 rooms. It is an ideal structure. There are also many other beautiful residences, elegantly furnished, owned by the colored people of Greater Birmingham, which we would like to mention, but for the lack of time. Sufficient for us is to say just now, that for aught we could see or hear, if the Afro-American is not doing well here, it is not for the want of an opportunity; but it is due to his lack of energy and ambition. We think that we can say that this assertion concerning the condition of our people in the other places we have visited, after leaving here, is also true. Our next stop was Aniston. For the size of the colored population, we believe there are more colored people doing business here than in any other town we have struck thus far. Mr. Thos. J. Jackson is president of the local league and is doing a thriving business as proprietor of The Surprise Store, which handles dry goods, shows and groceries, etc. There there THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1908 Commit the best Chivalryment, Removal evil infamous; bring quick results.

We had a splendid meeting, filled with enthusiasm and information. The league is going to get a charter and send a representative to the annual meeting in August, at least they promised us they would do so, and we believe they will keep their word, for behind it are some substantial men of financial means. On to Talladega, the seat of the noted school by that name. Although a small town in comparison to many others visited, yet we had the largest attendance out to address, than anywhere else. Many of the women came out as well as the men, and some of them made very nice talks, too. The president of the local league is Mr. W. B. Driver, a wide awake young business hustler, manager of Pulliam & Company's large business. Dr. W. H. Brummidt, the only colored doctor in the town, is first vice president, and a very active man of affairs. He presided at the meeting and gracefully and fittingly discharged the duties of his position. Here, as at Annison, they promised to purchase a charter and we are satisfied they will. Returning to Tuskegee, we stopped over two hours at Opelika where we had only time enough to peep into a few of the business houses of our people and shake hands with their proprietors, in the meantime exacting a pledge that they would have a representative at the annual meeting next August.

Hall, of Windsor street, Boston. Mrs. John B. Hall and Mrs. Lyde W. Benjamin left Boston last Saturday for a month's visit with friends in Chicago. The pastor and members of Charles Street Church are busy preparing for the annual conference at New Bedford, July 8. This has been a year of marvelous success at this old historic church. Nearly two hundred members have been added to the roll and a great amount of money has been raised. The annual class reunion was held at the church on the 21st and was largely attended. The reports showed that nearly $1,000 had been raised by the classes alone during the conference year. The annual recital of the musical scholars of Miss Lida Gray Thomas was rendered at Charles Street Church on the evening of the 25th and was a splendid success from every point of view. Miss Thomas is a graduate of the New England Conservatory and deserves great credit for the progress of her large class. A memorial service in honor of the late Mrs. Cheeseboro was held at Charles Street Church last. Sunday night under the auspices of the Order of Good Samaritans and Daughters of Samarita, of which order she was one of the founders. The sermon was most ably preached by Dr. T. W. Henderson. A Tinkerbee Inventor. A colored man, presenting cards bearing the name of "Prof. J. B. Smith," and the words, "Instructor in English and Bible, Tuskegee, Alabama," has been calling on friends of the cause of Southern education living in this city. He has represented that his wife is dead, and that he has brought the body from Boston, and needs a loan to enable him to proceed to his home, Lynchburg, Va. The amount requested, $10.95, he has promised to repay within forty-eight hours. Inquiry at Tuskegee excits the information that there is no instructor there of that name, and that he is an impostor who has made similar attempts before.
