Kentucky Official Says: "Give Negro Child Schooling" Superintendent of Public Instruction Wants to See Negro Child Get an Equal Break With the White Child Categorized Schools to be Maintained in Danville District on Some Basis as White Schools—Should There be All White Trustees, the Only Question DANVILLE, Ky., August 12.—What is said to be the largest movement on foot in favor of education in this State for many a day was inaugurated a short time ago and the plans are now being carried out. Strange to say, instead of proving detrimental to the interests of the Negro citizens as are many of the new ideas and laws made nowadays in the South, all indications point to the Negro benefiting highly by the change. J. G. Crabbe, Superintendent of Public Instruction, is at the head of the new movement which calls for giving the Negro child an equal opportunity to receive as good an education in the public schools of Kentucky as the white children. The new school laws at this time apply only to the schools under which Supt. Crable has charge, but it is said that many superintendents in the State favor the movement. Following are some of the new laws and a statement from Supt. Crable. The Colored Schools 1. The New School Law.—The School District Law—repeals all old laws in conflict. 2. The old three-trustee system with its regime is displaced by the County School District Law; the old provisions both of white schools and colored school are repealed in every particular with reference to the old district trustees, and the old district taxation. 3. The new law provides equal school facilities for white and colored alike. Note these points: (a) The Educational Divisions shall include white and colored children. (b) The subdistricts shall include white and colored children. (d) The County Board of Education is to consolidate schools with reference to the needs of white and colored schools. (e) The county school tax is a common tax and taxation for white and colored schools. Some have asked whether a few colored persons might not be selected as trustees. I would deplore any friction about this splendid system. I earnestly ask that there be no friction of this sort. I do not care to speak of the legal position of the man I am chiefly concerned in this matter first, and that the Negro child shall have a chance to be schooled. I am absolutely certain concerning one of two things that is to come to pass by the next General Assembly. Either (1) the colored schools in Kentucky are to continue to be main schools, and to be under the new school law, uniformly for all the schools, with its opportunities and privileges, and its beneficent taxation, buildings and accommodations—and a white trusteeship; or (2) the colored schools will force upon the law-making body of Kentucky with the antiquated three-trustee schools with various tendencies, its poor schools and its hegged teachers, its waste of State funds, its no supplement of tax—and colored trustees. I have faith who will herald a new era for the colored schools—whose leaders will champion the cause of a larger and better system of education for their people. As superintendent of the public schools of Oakland, Kay was for eighteen years of allied city schools, white and colored. For these years the colored schools have had a real part in the system. Eight white men have composed the Board of Education. The superintendent has supervised the work. Ashland is no fair tale. Under the new law—the County School District law—every colored school in Kentucky may become a modern school. The management to be sure shall be a white management, but the management shall be black. The individual schools for white and colored pupils—buildings, improvements and equipment, supplies, payment of teachers, tension of the term. I counsel the Negro to eliminate all friction, so that the new law may have an opportunity to prove itself. I counsel you not to worry about white trustees, but I urge that all alike clean, square, good little trustees. I repeat a sentence from the law. Under the new law the leading Negro educators of the State will voice with Dr. Wood, one of the representatives of his life, an editorial of The Torch Light. "About the only objection urged by our people against the bill is that it may押 Negro trustee of the honor of the office, but this honor is so insignificant when compared with the good of the poor young so panying so押 pre THE NEW YORK AGE. the race we do not think it worthy of mention in this connection." mention in this connection." I ask every county superintendent and every official to weigh well the consid- eration of the good of mankind for the betterment of old Kentucky? Will you forego personal prejudice and personal notions and personal rights in common cause? I repeat, we are inaugurating here and now the biggest forward movement of the schools in Kentucky since the war of forty years. Join both of white colors and let us make it unanimous! By amendment during the next General Assembly we can involve a really great school system adapted to Kentucky's peculiar needs. J. G. CRAZBLE Superintendent of Public Instruction EDUCATIONAL: MEETING MACON, GA., August 11—An educational meeting was held here last week at the North Street A. M. 7. Church which was largely attended by the Negro citizens. "Whose fault is it then, that the Negro race is being judged by the class that roams the streets, that hangs around railroad stations, that frequent poolrooms, saloons, and that recruits thjails and chain-gangs?" "If the Negro institutions are not prepared to deal directly, or indirectly with these phased Negro Life education is a failure, whatever may be said to the contrary. "The Negro school should be able to contend with these intricate problems which are daily/confronting the race. The Negro school should be a pacifier in the community, rather than a breeder of restlessness and discontent." FEDERATED INSURANCE LEAGUE Formed With Aggregate Capital of $800,000 - Twenty-four Concerns INHAMPTON, VA., August 12 - Considerable interest has been attached to the meeting of Negro insurance companies held recently in this city. At the meeting the insurance concerns an organization was effected by the companies doing business in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and the District of Columbia. The aggregate capital of the combination amounts to $750,000, with 310,000 members carrying $18,000 in life policies of the name of concern is the Federated League. Twenty-four companies are represented in the new combine, which is perhaps the strongest Negro business organization of its kind in the country. The following officers were elected at the meeting: W. P. Burwell Richmond, president; C. P. Burwell Lumpkin, vice-president; W. S. Dodd, New York, secretary; and C. S. Dongan, Norfolk, Va., treasurer. W. S. Dodd, the secretary of the organization, is a white man. He is a brother-in-law of Dr. H. J. Brizzel of Hampton Normal and Industrial School. GIVES LEGAL OPINION Negro Advises Ohio Officials at Their Request. Columbus, O., August 12—Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Wilbur King told the city board of review last week, in a written opinion on the question, "During a valuation placed on the estate, that we will direct the board to maximize property valuations—that it could reduce a valuation but that it must find some other property to make up this reduction. In effect he said it was a case of "robbing Peter to pay Paul." He advised the board that it could not change the aggregate valuation of the tax duplicate as fixed by the State Board of Equalization. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney King is a Negro, and is regarded as one of the oldest lawyers, white or black, in the State. Mr. Bryan has succeeded in making it clear that he will not give his influence to help the Negro secure his constitutional rights in the South. What advantage then will the Negro gain by voting for Bryan? Perhaps Bishop Walters can tell us?—Raleigh (N. C.) Baptist Seminel. AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION NEW YORK, THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1908 Declaration of Gen. Corbin Causes President Roosevelt to Announce That He Alone is Responsible for Dismissal "General Corbin's statement is absolutely correct and it was entirely proper that he should make it. The substance of the message from the President, which he quotes, was made public long ago. In the Brownsville matter the entire responsibility for issuing the original order and for the planning to allow its suspension was the President's." ASSISTANT SECRETARY FORSTER President Roosevelt's statement, made through his assistant secretary, in which he frees William H. Taft from all censure and assumes the entire responsibility for the dismissal of the Negro troops at Brownsville, has been the subject for much talk, especially among the Negro voters who are deeply interested in the Brownsville incident. It is the contention of many that President Roosevelt did a wise thing in freeing Judge Taft from censure, as a few of the Negroes who have been luke-warm against his candidacy because of the dismissal of the soldiers will regard him in a more favorable light. The formal statement made by President Roosevelt was caused by the declaration of Lieutenant General Henry C. Corbin, retired, who announced that William H. Taft had nothing to do with the discharge of the soldiers: that Judge Taft in vain urged the President to reconsider the order discharging the soldier General Corbin is on the retired list he is free to talk without inviting criticism. In speaking of Judge Taft's attitude in the case General Corbin said: "It is to his everlasting credit that he has never, even to his most intimate friends, hinted that the responsibility, blame or credit rested anywhere but in the War Department, although the facts are that the order was the President's very own; made and executed by his own immediate and special direction, and for which he always stood." The General traces briefly the inside story of the Brownville affair giving in full all the details of the incident to Mr. Taft ordering him to carry out the Executive instructions and discharge the men...in part he says: "The Brownville affair is going to be paraded in the campaign. Any credit or blame in that matter cannot in any way be laid to Mr. Taft. As a matter of fact, Mr. Taft was not in Washington at the time, but was in the West on some important business connected with the department. And right here I want to remark that all the men have been careful to judge the truth about exploiting his own efforts and letting the people know what he has done as a public official. "He left Washington October 27, 1906, for an inspection of the western military posts, notably Fort Riley, going as far west as Fort D. A. R. Russell and Fort Sill. He was absent from October 27 to November 17. The Brownsville order was issued November 9, or twelve days after Mr. Taft left Washington, and eight days before his return, he obeyed Olive O'Brien, the Secretary of War, When Mr. Taft returned to the department the order discharging, the battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry was brought to his attention. That the President might reconsider the matter, Mr. Taft, as Secretary of War, suspended the order. I do not happen to have a copy of Mr. Taft's cablegram to the President, who was then in the West Indies, but here is what the President sent back in reply. It was dated at once, November 21, four days after Mr. Taft returned to the President, and was as follows: Cablegram received. Discharge is not to be suspended unless there are new facts of such importance as to warrant your calling me. I care nothing whatever for the yelling either of the politicians or the sentimentalists. The offense was heinous, and the punishment I inflicted I imposed after due deliberation. All I shall pay heed to is the presentation of facts showing the official report to be in whole or in part untrue, exculpating some individual man. I any such facts should appear. I facts as he deemed desirable, but nothing has been brought before me to warrant the suspension of the order. I direct that it be executed. THIMDORKE ROOKEELT. "It was in these words that the President directed his order to be forced after later, he so forced it. With these facts, known, no man, black or white, in fairness can place any responsibility in the premises on Secretary Taft. "Secretary Wright in not having the order revoked is just as responsible as Secretary Taft, and there is no one, who will not say it would be absurd to place any responsibility on General Wright. The fact is the President, under the constitution, is the commander-in-chief of the army, the military officer are actually beyond the Secretary of War or his subordinates to modify or qualify, and it is but right that it should be so." Negro Republicans-Said to Receive In Children CHICAGO, Aug. 16.—The colored Republicans of Illinois have had but little time during the past three weeks to stop and think about the advisability of voting the Democratic ticket in the coming Presidential election. The primary election law, held last Saturday, is so new and puzzling that party lines seem to be more tightly drawn than ever. In the single matter of office-holding by colored men and women in this city and county, a Democratic triumph would at this time be a very serious matter. The Hom. Oscar D'Eriest, our Congressman, furnished your correspondent with a detailed statement of the political patronage now enjoyed by the colored people, as follows: Major J. C. Buckner, $1600; R. A. Williams, $1000; Blackburn, $1000; Oscar DePriest, $3000; Lockman, $1200; Riley, $1300; Ferribe, $1000; Boylor, $1200; Major F. L. Dennison, $3600; Col. J. R. Marshall, $1000; L. B. Anderson, $2000; W. D. Samuel, $1200; J. Q. Grant, $1200; Barnett, clerk, $600; F. Barnett, Richardson, $600; four wages, $300; Joens, $400; Chavis, $1200; four girls, $400 each; Snowden, $1000; A. L. W. Morris, $4100; A. H. Roberts, $1600; six women, county building, $2160; Dr. Lane, State Legislature, $2500; Ed. Green, $1100; miscellaneous, positions, $10,200. This does not include the large number of men on the police force, in the fire department, clerks who are holding civil service positions, and the large number of men in the federal Building, as carriers, clerks, laborers and message-keepers, not unreasonable estimate that the colored people of this county, county and State receive $200,000 a year in salaries. This is an interesting item as showing to what extent the colored people have been successfully pushing their claims for political preferment. It is needless to say that in this time that the colored people have been getting hold of these offices the Republican party has been in power. It is also needless to say that in States that are and always have been under Democratic sway such record of being colored be found, and it might be added that no promise of such recognition is in evidence in the event of Democratic success. Mrs. Dr. Hall and Mrs. L. Benjamin, of Boston, who have been Chicago visitors for some weeks, have returned to their home city, apparently quite charmed to match our pork and hustle with their beans and culture. Miss E. D. Barrier, of Washington, D. C., who has been spending a part of her vacation with her sister, Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams, left Chicago this week to pass the remainder of her vacation with her mother, in Brockport. Prof. R. Love passed through the city this week en route to Langston City. Oklahoma, where he has been elected as vice-principal of the Langston Normal and Industrial School. Prof. Love speaks in glowing terms of the prospects of this great Western educational institution in the new State of Oklahoma. The liberal spirit of the present government of that State is evidenced by the recent appropriation of nearly $100,000 for new buildings and equipment. In addition to this liberal gift by the State, this institution has been heavily endowed with a gift of public lands, which in the future will afford this Negro school one of the largest incomes enjoyed by any similar institution in the country. Prof. Lore is of the opinion that great things are in store for the ambitions and progress of the Negro community. State spite of some of the reactionary measures that characterized its first legislative enactments. It might be said: In passing that the much promised general uprising of the Negroes in behalf of the "peerless leader" of Nebraska has not yet occurred in Chicago at least. FANNIE BARRIER WILLIAMS. SHOUT TOO MUCH. White Neighbors Say Negro Worshipery Are Too Nolty. WASHINGTON, D. C., AUGUST 12.—“Increasingly noise, boisterous and disorderly conduct on the part of the people engaged in so-called religious worship” at the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, a colored congregation, on N streets, between Ninth and Tenth streets, northwest, is the complaint made to the District Commissioners by John R. Galloway, owner of the Henrietta apartment house, located near the church. The noise, according to Mr. Galloway, frequently lasts until 11 or 12 o'clock at night. “The shouting, noise and disturbance occasioned by these meetings,” says Mr. Galloway, “are seriously impairing my property and the property of polls similarly situated, and rendering it uncomfortable and undesirable for living properly causing it to depreciate in value.” The matter having been referred to Chief of Police Sylvester and Assistant Corporation Counsel Pugh, the complainant will be informed by the commissioners that the condition, if objectable, is in the nature of a private nuisance, and that his remedy is in the civil-court, the law of disorderly conduct not being applicable to the case. Rev. Simon P. W. Drew is the pastor of the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church. That portion of Mr. Taft's speech of acceptance referring to the Negro should be satisfactory to every thoughtful member of the race. He stands firmly on all the pledes of the party to accord to the Negro all rights of American citizens—Humpton (Va.) Fisherman's Net. MUSKOGEE, OKLA., August 11.—As a result of the scramble for the lands of the freedmen there's a mixup unique in the history of the West. Federal and State officials are at loggerheads, and it is certain the courts will be congested for years with land suits. The freedmen are Negroes who were held as slaves by the Indians and were released by order of the Government after the Civil War. When Congress a few years ago allotted something like 100,000,000 acres to the Indians of the five civil tribes, it also allotted fifty of fine acres to the freedmen. The latter allowed to allot their lands, barring homesteads of 40 acres each. In a majority of cases the Negro not only sold his surplusage but bartered away his homestead of 40 acres many times over. A few weeks ago the Negroes received legal authority to sell their homesteads and the big show has just been pulled off in all the Indian Territory lands. The legal presented were worth coming miles to water. When "restriction" day, came 5,000 Negroes and perhaps 50 Indians were in Muskogee, all claiming to have lands to sell. Of the 5,000 Negroes 90 percent, were from the States and never owned a foot of ground anywhere. Of the 10 per cent, who had been allotted land, nearly all had sold it by contract months before. But every man and woman to the land had to be held and with the assistance of Negro and white lawyers they "located" it to prospective purchasers. The land graffers who were here from Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City and Texas points, together with the local graffers, were almost as numerous, as the Negroes. The bootleggers organized the graffers, who wanted whisky to have come across with $1.25 per pint in advance. All the whisky is sold in dark colored bottles, and in nine cases out of ten the bottle had been refilled with Arkansas River water, and the land man was taken in at the very start. Negroes were corralled in hotels, bushland, woodland and states, and furnished with watermelons, gin, whisky, sandwiches and guards were placed at the doors. In one instance six Negroes who were known to have land were "invited" into a crap game, then the police were notified and they were locked up for gambling. The graffer had this done for protection, and in the morning he was on hand at the police headquarters, which were signed for the paying of the fine. Two Negro pugilists were employed to go out and get into fights with freedmen. They were arrested, but the pugilists secured hail and the men who owned the land were locked up. They also deeded their lands. A big Republican leader is being sought by the police to protect a full-blood Creek he took deed to 2,000 acres and now the company which claims to have bought the land says he has violated a State law by clouding the title. One Negro woman deeded 40 acres for four watermelons, and then did not have enough money to take herself and three children back to the home which she had parted with forever. Negroes who were known to own 160 acres were taken to Kansas City and St. Louis and entertained in regal fashion, the understanding being they would give the hosts the first deeds. Some Negroes, as soon as they sold 40 acres to one man, bound all of them to the land all is chaos and confusion. In Muskogee county 223 deeds for less than 15,000 acres of land were filed for record. The Indians, as a rule, are holding on to their land. The Negro and the Indian are getting the white man's education, and their motto is "Get the money." WOMEN MENT IN NORWICH. NEW HAVEN, CONN., August 12.

CHICAGO, August 12.—Just as the "Chicagoites" were commending to forget about the restaurant keeper putting up a sign in the window of his small, dark restaurant that no colored patronage was wanted, news leaked out about a local business college refusing to accept Miss Cora J. Hawkins as a ..l. Miss Hawkins formerly lived here, but now resides in Washington, D.C. She carried on quite an extensive correspondence with the management, about entering but when she made her appearance at the event, the assistant memb- members of the institution thought of the spelling contest in Cleveland and protested against her admittance. As is usually the case, the applicant was forced to go elsewhere. OUT FOR OFFICE Many Negroes Aspire For Political Recreation. In Chicago. CHICAGO.

PRICE, 5 CENTS Negroes from all Over the Country Send Him Letters Efforts of Sheriff to Uphold the Law Appreciated by Many Citizens Who are Desirous of Seeing Fair Play TRIED TO DO HIS DUTY Prince Phyllis Sheriff in Highland Terra—Would be Power Lynchings If Officials Followed Sheriff's Example. Two, Killed and Several injured by Official and Associates PENSACOLA, FLA., August 11.—"Gentleman, here I am. You can kill me if you want two but if you can get my prisoner it will be over my dead body. I have sworn to do my duty, and I am going to do it if I die for it." Because Sheriff J. C. Van Pelt, of this city, at the risk of his life defied a mob of angry whites who bombarded the jail for the Negro who had committed a crime. Negro citizens throughout the United States have forwarded him letters congratulating him on the courageous stand he took to preserve the law. Sheriff Van Pelt is the kind of an executive that is needed in many parts of the South, and since his heroic attempt to save his prisoner from the mob many of the daily papers have remarked that if other officials would live up to the letter of the law as did Sheriff Van Pelt there would be less lynchings in the South. It is true that despite the efforts of the Sheriff and his deputies to hold off the mob the riots finally succeeded in getting into the jail and captured the object of their search. But it was only the mob and several were killed into the mob and several were wounded. In speaking of the lynching Sheriff Van Pelt said: "While I regret the death of the two men and the wounding of many others, I have done nothing except what I was called upon to do. I was called upon to plead with the mob for more than an hour, and told them what would be the consequence if they attacked the jail; that I was in duty bound to protect the Negro and proposed to do so. They would not have gotten him but for the police to arrest the man engaged with the mob in front when a portion of the men climbed the rear wall and overpowered me." Many of the Negro editors are loud in their praise of the brave sheriff. According to the Florida Sentinel the lynching of Shaw was not due to his racial identity but on account of the dastardly dare he committed, and then concurred. The sheriff and his deputies on that memorable brave and fearlessly discharged their sworn duty in an effort to protect the prisoned, but public sentiment against cold-blooded murderer Shaw, was more than a match for the officers, and if we add to this an increased vengeance against the culprit on account of the already loss of human life among citizens of the community, it possible to wonder why the situation did not prove more disastrous than it was. Says the Savannah (Ga.) Tribune: "The Florida sheriff who tried to uphold the law by prosecuting his prisoner from lynching, needs commendation. He did not succeed, but he taught the mob a lesson by killing two and shooting several others. If every sheriff who have similar goods would act like waving lily flowers would be ashamed." From the Richmond Planet: "Leander Shaw, colored was charged with assaulting Mrs. Lillian Davis near Pensasville, Florida. He was placed in the county jail at that place and a mob formed and proceeded to storm the jail. The sheriff was aided by twelve deputies. He warned the mob not to persist in its efforts as he would keep his sworn obliquity and defend the jail. He was also involved when the men composing this lawless body made the attack upon the jail, he opened fire with revolvers and riot guns. The effect was deadly. "Three of the attacking party were killed and many more wounded. The mob was reinforced and sealed the walls, covering the deputies, and the bold sheriff with guns and removing the prisoner. They flashed the colored man to an electric light pole. It is indeed gratifying to note that another Southern sheriff has had a chance to demonstrate to the country the stuff that is in him." THE TANNERS. TO CELEBRATE PRISTADLEPLIA, August 5. - Bishop and Mrs. B. T. Tanner will informally receive the congregations of friends at their residence, 3000 Diamond street, the occasion will be celebrated in honor of the fifth, anniversary of their marriage. THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1920 The owing of the Colored Republican League of Kings county at Columbia Park, last Thursday evening, was fairly well attended. It was an attempt by a few men to show the voting strength of the county. In a talk with the president, Mr. John H. Smith, a few nights previous, he stated that he and his lieutenants had succeeded in organizing the entire county, which required, much time and labor, and that the approaching demonstration would surprise the entire county by my means it could be taken several times. Smith did not seem inclined to explain. Therefore any result might have accomplished his intention. From an organization standpoint Mr. Smith has always been "there with the goods." From president of the Garnet Republican Club to a circulating debating society, Mr. Smith has been able to keep himself prominently before the citizens in his immediate neighborhood. The Colored Republican League of King county was last year. The outing was attended representatives from many organizations, and several brilliant speakers. Those who called attention of the colored voter to the issues of the day were: Hon. James F. Martin, Hon. Jones Farrington, Chief of the 2nd Division, Commissioner of Records Department; Col. Noah C. A.Walters, Jr. 11th Regt. N. V. Div. W. B. B. A., and others of these speakers threw some enthusiasm to the hearers. The officers of the league are: John H. Smith, president; H. W. Jackson, vice-president; J. R. Spurgeon, recording secretary; C. W. Jackson, financial secretary; W. A. Watkins, corresponding secretary; Eli Parker, treasurer; B. Swann, auditor; D. Mobley, musical director; A. Lafontaine, librarian; Wm. H. VanDorn, sergeant-at-arms. Their headquarters is at 635 Herkimer street. For the past fifteen years persons going along Fulton street as far up as Utica avenue have observed an old landmark in the form of a barbershop owned and controlled by Mr. Charles H. Johnson. Mr. Johnson is one of the progressive men of the community and is a local politician of some note. He has served the municipality in various ways and has connected several other business enterprises with his barbershop interest. He has a bourbond parlor next door which is looked after by one of his sons. Mr. Johnson is quiet and gentle and has spent all of his spare time working the street of the Method Church in Dam street. Schenectady avenue. He is choirmaster, president of the literary society, and a member of the official board of that church. His place is the headquarters of the better element of residents in that section and many of the would-be politicians. Much of the Negro literature is found on sale in his shop, including The Colored American Magazine and THE NEW YORK AGE. In the political world things have begun, to loom up. S. Augustus Walker, a young man of some brilliant ideas and political knowledge, is an aspirant for the honors of leader of his district. Mr. Walker resides at 131 Chaucey Hill, a suburb of South Carolina, five years ago indirectly from South Carolina. The game of politics seems to be his hobby and all indications point to the accomplishment of his desires. Augustus M. Hodges, long known in the Neusau news world as "B. Squires," has just returned from Hampton, Va. where he graduated from some years ago. He has the most favorable things to say of the people there. Years bring with them many "great needs" among the colored people. To add to the campaign literature it is supposed the Negro must lend his contribution. Like mushrooms newspapers spring up in various sections to teach the Negro how to vote and other things. Recently two weekly journals have appeared upon the scene, and we are threatened with two more. Let the "good" work go on. While we had seen no more opportunities for the idle young Negro to make a living through any of those channels, we hope that they may be able to bring about better results soon.

Applicants can be examined in all the States, and is open to all citizens of the United States who will comply with the requirements set forth by the commission. A tumor is in circulation that a colored physician, who had been appointed by the Civil Service Commission as an interne at the Government Hospital for the Insane, in response to a certification by the commission, was "turned down" by the officials there, when upon presenting himself it was found that the was a Negro. The man is said to be competent, as determined by his excellent showing at the examination, and it is said the examiner had high confidence in their hospital assignments there is supposed to be no color line, but there is a social a-pect to the relations between the members of the staff at such institutions that brings about certain embarrassments when the colors are mixed. It is not an offense against the District Government for a white man to marry a colored woman. The local press kicked up a big fuss last week because a white employee of the District saw fit to lead to the altar a Negro woman, and the matter was called to the attention of the District Commissioners, who issued a ground affair and the notice of a life partner for their employees was none of their business. Thus a great incident is closed. Register W. T. Vernon has returned from a hard siege of campaigning in Kansas. Although the Register's first choice for Senator was not nominated, he will give the successful man, Editor J. L. Bristow, his heartiest support. Former Register J. W. Lyons is still in the city, getting ready for the campaign. There is a disposition in some quarters to create a new Mr. Lyons, declining to prosecute the humiliated policeman who caused the arrest of Mr. Lyons and Ion H. V. Cash in some time ago, for alleged loitering on a public highway. No case was made against the Georgian and Mr. Lyons, having no desire to make it un- daily hard work the officer, who is a poor white man with a large family, and whose action was caused more by ignorance than through any intention to insult anyone, allowed the matter to pass, with the assurance from the prosecutor that the officer, colored and white, would not be impeded in a similar manner again.

JORDAN 29 West 90th Street, NEW YORK "The Republican platform refers to these amendments to the constitution as the most important amendments for the protection of the Negro. The Negro in the forty years since he has been free from slavery made responsible largely for the protection of the more and more valuable member of the communities in which he lives. The Negro has been a more and more valuable member of the communities in which he lives. The best men of both races, at the best time, have been growing up among the southern people an influential element of the community to see growing up among the hard struggle for industrial independence and natural political status. The Negro explicitly demands justice for all men without regard to race or color, and just an explicitly deferred for the third, fourth and fifth amendments to the letter and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to that I stand with my party squarely in that plank in the platform, and because the fair and impartial enforcement of these amendments is in keeping with the fair and impartial spirit of fair play." —Judge William H. Turt in his sense of acceptance. THEY HAVE THEIR PRICE. THEY HAVE THEIR PRICE. Some weeks ago the Independent, a publication that has never wavered a hair's breadth in its championing the cause of the Negro, contained an editorial under the caption of "Taft and the Negro." In that editorial the Independent intimated and explicitly stated that when all the facts were known regarding Judge Taft's part in the Brownsville order those Negroes who were bitterly assailing him because of that order would be placed in a most compromising position. Now comes an interview with General H. C. Corbin, retired, in which he quotes the President's cable to the then Secretary of War Taft directing him to enforce the order. The President's cable was plain and emphatic. It left nothing for Secretary Taft to do but comply with the President's order. He was but a subordinate, and like a soldier, expected to and must obey the orders and commands of his superior officer. Like a minister must take the directions of his presiding elder and bishop, Secretary Taft, who was away when the order was first issued, even were he disposed to contend with his chief over its enforcement, was not sufficiently familiar with all the facts to do other than he did. And had he been familiar with the whole proceedings, at that time, like any loyal subordinate could not, consistently, and would, not have done other than he did—enforced the orders of his chief. Now in the light of what General Corbin develops, it must appear clear to every layman that all this criticism of Mr. Taft is unjust, unwarrantable, unfair and beneath a true man. As a member of the cabinet, Mr. Taft attempted no explanation of his course, and his part in that order. As a retired member of the cabinet he himself offers no explanation, and any fair and honest man will honor him for his silence. Loyalty to those whom we serve is an admirable trait, whether in a general to his country, a private to his superior officer, or a government official to his chief. But let it be said in fairness to the thousands and thousands of correct thinking Negroes the criticism, bitter and unreasonable, of Mr. Taft is indulged in by men, for the most part, who either have a personal grievance, a selfish purpose to serve, or far worse, a service to render for cash received to keep up an unfair agitation and an unreasonable base war on men. They have their price. EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION On the 22d day of September President Lincoln promulgated his proclamation freeing the slaves. Since that time the Negroes, in different sections of the country, have celebrated that day. But should they? Why should the race each year advertise the fact that its progenitors were slaves? Why should we impose upon the rising generation the embarrassment of appearing before the world as sons and daughters of slaves? There is no particular honor, even though the slavery was enforced, in recalling the fact that we, or our progenitors, were slaves. And then again we are confronted with the fact that we, oursels, did not achieve our own freedom. It is true that we participated in the war of the rebellion—that is, our fathers did, and right valiantly, too. We offered our lives, and we shed our blood, but that war was not fought to free the slaves, but to prevent disunion of this government. Could the union have been preserved with slavery, slavery would have continued to exist for many years, perhaps before it would have been abolished. There is nothing of the incentive in recalling the days when our fathers and our mothers suffered the lash wielded by an overseer. There is no incentive in recalling the fact that our fathers and mothers were said on the mission block. Let's forget these dark days of slavery. Let us forget slavery with its descentment of a geneological tree for our race. The issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation freeing the slaves was but a war measure—pure and simple. Had the South hid down its arms when President Lincoln threatened to issue that proclamation slavery would have continued, with all its revolting debasement of women's virtue. Is it any inspiration to our young men and women to confront them with the fact that their parents were slaves? Is it conducive to the eradication of race prejudice to each year parade afresh before the whites that our ancestors were slaves? No! So why continue to celebrate Emancipation Proclamation Day? What we want to forget is that we, or our forefathers, were ever slaves, ignorant slaves, deprived of every right and every privilege due men under a republican form of government. NEGRO POLITICAL REPRESENTATION. It is a favorite pastime with some of the "Bryanized" Negro agitators and demagogues to boast that the race has received less political recognition at the hands of President Roosevelt than at the hands of any other President. How men can make such a statement when the facts to refute it are so easily to be had cannot be accounted for, save on the ground that when a man is paid to agitate he cares naught for facts nor figures—just makes broad statements and presumes that other people are as ignorant as he is base. Now the fact is in the past, four years of Roosevelt's administration the number of Negroes employed by the Government has more than doubled, and this, too, exclusive of those in the army, and navy. In 1904 the aggregate salaries of Negroes employed by the Government were three million dollars; the first of the fiscal year 1908, but four years later, finds the aggregate salaries of Negroes employed by the Government has reached the stupendous sum of eight million dollars in round numbers, or to be exact, $8,032,355. In the city of Washington alone Negroes employed by the Government are drawing salaries that aggregate $3,044,404, or as much as the aggregate of salaries drawn by all the Negroes in the Government service in the whole United States four years ago. These are facts upon which to reflect when you hear Negroes hitply assailing President Roosevelt for one act alone, which may not meet with their approval. Let's be fair, and render unto Caesar his own. --- NEGRO DISFRANCISEMENT. We reproduce the following editorial, taken from the Atlanta Journal, for the edification of that contingent of Negroes who advocate the election of Bryan. A careful perusal of this editorial shows very conclusively that the South glories in the action of the West Virginia Democratic convention, and that the action of that convention was in entire sympathy with the sentiment and desire of Bryan. The Atlanta Journal says: The State Democratic convention of West Virginia has adopted a plank in its platform which demands the disfranchisement of the Negro. The action of the Democrats in a border State, like that has something more than a local significance, and it will serve to stimulate the other States, not only the South, but of the whole country, to eliminate the ignorant and purchaseable Negro voter wherever he may be found. The people of the United States, wherever they are not absolutely blinded by prejudice or self-interest, are reaching the conclusion to which Mr. Bryan gave expression some time ago, to the effect that the North would act in this matter just as the South is doing if confronted with the same conditions. As sectional bitterness expires, the deliberate judgment of the people comes to the realization that the adoption of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments was a grave mistake. It may be years before the work that was done in the days of passion and prejudice can undone directly, but in the meantime it is possible to accomplish very much the same thing by means of the just and legal disfranchisement enactments such as has been proposed in Georgia. The State of Georgia took a long step forward when it decided to submit to the United States a new amendment which is to be voted upon in the general election. Every day confirms the wisdom of the step, and when we find such States as West Virginia preparing to follow in our footsteps it is easy to see that the day is not far distant when there will be no dissenting voice throughout the country, and we will then be in a position to secure an outright repeal of the obvious amendments which have kept the South in social and political bondage for so many years. ABUSE AND DESCRIPTION OF NEGRO CHURCHES. Again, without any partisan, end in view. THE AGE urges the officials of our churches throughout the country to put a stop to the practice of allowing their churches to be used for political meetings. The line should be drawn on all kinds of political meetings, Republican, Democratic, or what not. The Christian church is not the place for political harangues. Children cannot be expected to have proper respect for the house of God when the same building is used one hour for religious purpose and another, hour for a cheap political meeting. Our bishops and ministers, as well as trifees and, stewards, should put an end once and for all to the use of the churches for the purposes named. It seems that the Cosmopolitan Club which achieved such notoriety through its famous dinner in New York a few weeks ago, has joined forces with the so-called Negro Democrats for the purpose of electing Mr. Bryan and defending Mr. Taft. This is according to the outcome of the meeting recently held in Washington at which representatives of the National Negro American Political League and the officers of the Cosmopolitan Club spoke. Of course at this Washington meeting the speakers praised the Democrats and condemned the Republicans. We hardly know how the Cosmopolitan Club will arrange matters in connection with the endorsement of the separate coch law in West Virginia which the Democrats have declared themselves in favor of, but we presume they will have no trouble in getting around this little difficulty. We wonder how Mr. Bryan really regards the support of the Cosmopolitan Club, especially in connection with his Southern affiliations. WHAT SAY YOU, MR. CLIFFORD The name of J. R. Clifford of West Virginia is printed among those who have decided to help the Democrats try to defeat the Republican ticket. Mr. Clifford resides in West Virginia, the State where the Democratic party has just passed a resolution in a State Convention to separate the races on the cars and to disfranchise the race in case the Democratic party is placed in power. 'Of course' Editor Clifford must endorse both of these acts on the part of the Democratic State Convention. He either endorses them or he does not. He cannot support the Democratic party without supporting its platform. Mr. Clifford, since he has declared himself in favor of the election of Bryan and for the defeat of Taft, we take for granted now favors the adoption of these two "Jim Crow" planks in the platform of his State, unless we hear from him to the contrary. STILL FASHING THE HAT We note that Rev. W. H. Scott of Woburn, Mass., is out with another woeful, doleful and pathetic call for money. He tells his friends to send money quickly, otherwise he and his cause will perish. Now Rev. Scott has been passing the hat up and down the country for the last dozen years. It is a cold day when he cannot find some cause for which to pass the hat. First he passed the hat up and down the highways and byways of New England, telling the people that he was going to defeat the nomination of Mr. Taft and that he was going to have the colored soldiers restored to the ranks. Now he is passing the hat attempting to get money with the idea that he is going to defeat the election of Mr. Taft. After Mr. Taft is elected Rev. Scott, who has so fallen into the habit of hat passing that he cannot stop, will then pass around the hat asking for money with which to prevent the inauguration of Mr. Taft. All this reminds us, however, that Rev. Scott is without a church and has been for several moons. If anybody knows of any place where Rev. Scott can find a church and thus become located and stop the hat-passing business, we should like to hear from him. The "Rev." and his few Democratic partners have a weakness for begging for money, which is asked for to promote certain pet principles. --- Why is it the anti-Taft Negroes continue to hold meetings in Washington where the citizens have no vote? If they are sincere in the desire to honestly earn the money paid them for agitation, why don't they get out into the States where Negroes vote? This holding of meetings in Washington smacks too much of getting money under false pretenses. Would it not be well for our newspaper people to get together in Baltimore and New York in connection with some of the other large organizations and organize a real up-to-date, first-class press association. The press organization amounts to nothing, and besides is a farce as it is at present conducted. Let's wake up and organize. Reports from Kansas state that Mr. Vernon made a gallant fight for Senator Long. ENGLISH BISHOPS ON COLOR LINE Declare That All Races Must Be Welded Into One Church. LONDON, August 11.—The Lambeth Bishop, in conference last week, came out emphatically against, the color line and declared that all races and peoples must be welded into one church body. The Congress was in session from July 27 to August 5, and many questions of interest were discussed. Over 210 Rishops were in attendance. Relative to the color question the Congress adopted the following resolution: "All races and peoples, whatever their language and conditions, must be welded into one body, and the organization of different races living side by side into separate or independent bodies, or race color is inconsistent with the vital and essential principle of the unity of Christ's Church." We have not yet discovered what pledges the Democrats are making for the Negro vote, that His Most High Priest, Wahab, and the bishop editor of the Guardian, are planning to turn over to them.—Atlanta (Ga.) American Citizen. Great Cesar's ghost! it surely must be another case of "Americana Dementia"—Dallas (Tex.) Express. We respectfully call the attention of those colored voters who are inclined to support the Democrats to the recent lynching of colored men in this State, in Florida and other States, and the burning in Texas. Where these tragedies have occurred are the strongholds of the colored men and the colored man vote for a party that sustains such a blot on humanity.—Savannah (Ga.) Tribune. In our plain, and perhaps brutal, copition, Negros are undesirable Democrats. The Democratic party cannot tie with them without compromise of the principles that count most in holding the white South in the Democratic party. The Negroes have nothing to hope from the white people of the South in political preference for generations to come, and it is most disheartening that Mr. Bryan, the Democratic candidate, for President, dominated largely South in the 1970s, and lacked understanding in this vital matter.—Charleston (S. C.) Southern Reporter. Those who have been in doubt as to Mr. Taft's position regarding the enforcement of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments were really innocence, because he no further worry for he has emphatically stated his voice. In his speech of acceptance he spoke on the issue which most affects the Negro—Spokane Citizen. In the city of Cincinnati, on last Tuesday, William H. Taft was officially notified of his nomination for the Presidency by the Republican party. He pledged anew his allegiance to the policies of President Roosevelt, and declared that the func-tion of the recent Republican administration would be to clinch what has already been accomplished by the present occupant of the White House.—Oakland Western Outlook. The Star has sought earnestly to find in the argument made against Mr. Taft by members of the race, a good and sufficient reason why he should not receive the usual per cent, of the Negro vote that goes to a Republican candidate in such elections. But up to this good hour it has been unable to find it. Mr. Taft, with whatever failures he may have, is by far a more available man than Mr. Bryan; and the Republican party, with all of its omissions and commissions of party sin against the race and its welfare, much more deserves the support of the Negro than the Democratic party. The Republican party as represented by Mr. Taft, stands for enfranchisement of the Negro, equal rights to him and a fair deal in the great march of human progress. The Democratic party is represented by Mr. Bryan, and in a very great measure, the disfranchisement of the Negro, for race discrimination, for inequality of his civil and political rights and for closing the door of hope against him in life's great struggle to win his bread. Now is not the time for the Negro to oppose Mr. Taft, for in so doing he he is standing in his own light. It is bad jjudgment to swap horses while crossing a stream. See!—Houston and Dallas (Tex.) Western Star. The colored people have long waited for a man who would come out squarely and say where he stood on these amendments and that he would enforce them. Eureka! Behold the man! It is William Howard Taft who will see that the man in Alabama respects the law as does the man in Massachusetts, and that the right of suffrage is enforced so that no righteous indignation from the North, East and West will accomplish the rest. Take' fresh courage and be determined to accomplish more. With a fair interpretation of the law, half good treatment, the Republican party in power at Washington and Taft at the head, the Negro will yet be the David to slay the Southern Goliath who has persecuted him for all these years. -Topeka Plaindealer. The speech of Hon. William H. Taft at Cincinnati, Ohio, last Tuesday accepting the great honor of being the candidate for President of the United States from the Republican party showed in work that Mr. Taft is a platform himself in measuring the size of the needs of this country's progress to be taken hold of beginning March 4, 1900, and to continue thereafter four years undisturbed for the good of the people's success and the growth of the country. Mr. Taft deals with 61 different subjects, giving sound views on each. He commands President Roosevelt for the good he has done and asks of the people at the jails in November to continue the trust of great responsibilities than the Republican party has all told him will be directed in the interest of the whole people, the farmer, the laborer, the business man, the banker, railroad and all other men of the nation's life of legitimate enterprise, bringing the real issues to the country's foundation where the principles of American liberty, thrift, industry was given the staff of success which grew a great mass in American society. Mr. Taft speaks interesting in the spirit for the good of all citizens of the nation—Galveston city Times. Our nominees measure well up to the expectations of his party and friends in discussing the questions which continue issues between the Republican and Democratic parties in this country. Mr. Tah'm meet every issue in a plain and manly, way; he left no doubt as to how he stands on any policy of public welfare affecting the rights of any class of citizens. He stands out boldly for the enforcement of the law and the protection of the rights of every class of citizens. His letter is an able state paper and American in spirit and sentiment. There is evidence, dodging, or splitting hairs; every detail is met squarely and his position defined. The questions of labor, tariff, trusts, railways, injunctions, banks, of issues, dependencies, Negroes, etc., were disposed of with a familiarity and statesmanship that measured the breadth and eminent fitness of the man for the place to which he aspires. Conditions are such in this country that the Negro is more interested in the attitude of the President toward him than any other political question and in order that we may be perfectly fair. to this country by telling them to vote for for word and letter for letter.-Atlanta Independent. The Republican party is standing with open arms to receive the Negro while the Democrat party says they do not want him, and yet there are Negroes who would dare mislead the Negroes of this country by teling them to vote for Bryan. The majority of the Negroes of this country are Republicans, and when it comes to politics they must be lead by the Negroes who are Republicans. No Negro Democrat can step over into the Republican ranks and advise us for whom we shall vote. We are men, and being men we are able to see the difference between the two parties. Mr. Bryan and his colleagues have openly stated that they do not care for the Negro votes. Now let us be men with Negro votes. We must play the role of standing babes. Stand up like men, stand by our friend, and when we are not satisfied with the actions of our friends, then go behind closed doors and counsel one with the other, but for God's sake don't be fools—Little Rock Mosaic Guide. In his speech of acceptance Mr. Taft enumerates a number of questions that must be properly adjusted—the tariff, trusts and monopolies, labor and race questions. A partial adjustment or a complete settlement of any or all these means the nearer approach to the ideal of democracy; it will simply mean giving an opportunity to every man. Honest and reasonable railroad rates mean that the few who own these roads shall not oppress those who do not. The breaking up of monopolies means that the few of the people shall be distributed among the people and not concentrated in the hands of a few. The giving of Chinaman, Indian, Negro and Porto Rican an opportunity with other men means the success of American democracy. These questions not only confront the nation but every State in the nation to a greater or less degree. Imperial critics have reached the conclusion that no real difference between the platforms of the two parties, but the only question is which party can be trusted to do right, which party has the ability and honesty of purpose to properly settle the great questions before the nation.-Charleston (N. C.) Afro-American Presbyterian. The Associated Press informs us that the Democratic party will make a serious effort to corral the Negro voters in doubtful States. This is indeed refreshing and if true strange indeed. We have no great fear that the efforts shall prove successful, but having every confidence in the "hoss sense," good judgment and honesty of the black man we are sanguine and quite sure that as of yore he will when the proper time arrives he will be able to mislead manner under the harness of Republicanism. Why not? Can the leopard change lits spots? Can the Democratic party separate itself from its record of blunders, assinity and cruelgnormity to every right dear to our hearts? What's in the Democratic platform to catch the Negro in this spider's web of death, disaster and idiocy. When that that that they drawn a breath? When that the time when its triumph did not mean blight and poverty to the American farmer and laboring man?—Lexington (Ky.) Standard. TO ESTABLISH CHURCHES IN WEST. In Befall of C. M. E. Church, NASHVILLE, August 12.—Through the efforts of Bishop C. H. Phillips of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, there will be soon established in the west churches of the C. F. Bishop Episcopal District, and the president of the Fifth Episcopal District of the C. M. E. Church, is one of the most active churchmen of the race, and is deeply interested in spreading colored Methodism. He left Saturday for California and goes to visit missions which he planned at Los Angeles and Santa Monica a year ago. This is the beginning of the planting of the C. M. E. Church, in the above State. The work has had a steady growth, and now the Bishop goes to inspect these missions, to further strengthen them by purchasing church lots and encourage the members to attend. In the last four years Bishop Phillips has established his denomination in El Paso and in several towns in New Mexico and Arizona. While in California the Bishop will observe conditions generally, the possibility of a further extension of his church, and report to the College of Bishops on the advisability of organizing a new mission conference. The work in Arizona, New Mexico and California has grown to such proportions, and at the same time, is so far from Dallas and Fort Worth, all of which belong to the test test Conference that the Bishop will he will organize new mission conference, and now name it the El Paso-California Mission Conference. Bishop Phillips will he accompanied by his wife, and will be gone till September. On his return to Nashville in September, Bishop Phillips' leaves immediately for Tyler, Tex., where he will hold the second educational "tally" in which he hopes to meet for more training. Last year in a similar effort he raised nearly $12,000. BY TIME GOSSIER. During these very stringent times many have learned to make a big bluff and sometimes get away with it. It is part of the Negro's religion to "make a front," and he will go to some length to give a prosperous appearance, even if hunger is gnawing his very vitality. But the biggest "front," which we have seen in many a day appears in East 132d street. Some may og as small congregation of Baptists agree to do to a piece of property on East 132d street and a few weeks later, with much pump and ceremony, they laid the corner-stone of the new edifice. On that property there had stood two brown-stone front stoop houses three stories and basement, and the fronts of those buildings had been torn down to make room for the front wall of the church. The rear of the original structures still remains standing. But in passing along the street you are impressed with the imposing edifice as it rises before you and it looks to be in a nearly completed state. That certainly looks encouraging to the congregation and should be a good advertising card for the building fund. That's a "front" with an object. Quite recently in this column we called attention to the splendid Christian mission work being accomplished in the Bronx by the Rev. E. C. Clifton, rector of St. David's P. E. Church. An incident occurred in Harlem last week that was so great a contrast that we felt compelled to note it here. To help those who need help and who are unable to help themselves is the doctrine of Dr. Clifton, but evidently some of his brethren of the cloth, who labor further down town, have different views. A man by the name of Upshur, who had been ill and unable to work for a long time and was destitute and homeless, had been taken in by the janitress of Jo. Hilder, who had been dead last week without friends or money and would have gone to Potter's Field had it not been for the kindheartedness of the janitress, who was willing to go among the people and beg enough to give the man a Christian burial. She had no money herself but sought an undertaker who, understanding the situation, would for humanity's sake take the body and wait a while for his money. Two undertakers were approached, both being ministers of the Gospel. The first, who was near at hand, declined when he found there was no money in sight, but the other tried to redeem his brother's lack of love and charity by accepting the burial though he had several miles to come for the body. It is not becoming for the ministry to be so grasping for the almighty dollar. A minister should remain in the pulpit, but if he engages in business he should do so with an eye single unto his profession. If doing business of this nature makes him mercenary he should either give up the business or the pulpit. The question has arisen, who are the nurses planning to hold a convention here this month and what is the object of the convention? It appears that among the scores of colored young women who have taken up the profession of nursing and graduated from the various training schools and hospitals there is no organization and it has been thought advisable to unite for the mutual benefit of all. For that purpose a general meeting has been called on the 25th, 26th and 27th of this month at St. Mark's Church, West 53d street. Miss Martha M. Franklin, R. N., of New Haven, Conn., is the leading spirit in the movement and she is being assisted by Miss Ada B. Samuels and Mrs. Effie Brook-Watkins, of this city. The ladies expect to perfect a permanent organization of national scope. Many of our young women are ambitious to take this profession but not many are willing to take the three and four year course as required, and it's no child's play either. Now the secret is out—there is going to be an Independent political party, not attached to or affiliated with any other party, but in every sense independent, and it will have its headquarters in the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company's building, at 46th street and Eighth avenue. A certain Capt. Thompson is the leading spirit of the most active alleged that Gilchrist Stewart, M. Trotter of Boston; Mr. Henderson, of Rhode Island; J. B. Wood and a few other notables are identified with the movement. This seems to have been the object of the conference of the Antis, at the Macao last week. Now, then, after September 1st, we imagine that the heads of the various political organizations in the city will receive due and formal notice that there is a new party born. Now you old-line politicians, get your hammers and begin to knock—it's up to you. More details of the proposed sale of Mother Zion Church comes to us. It appears the trustees really did vote to sell the church property for $150,000 not to include the organ and some other movable furniture. They are in receipt of a written offer at these terms, but after the meeting some of the good brethren desired to reconsider their action and there is talk of rejecting the offer. It is frequently said that the Negro is unstable in matters of business. Now we do hope these genthem们 will obey. On humiliation and fifty thousand dollars is a good offer and they will do well to accept it. They may never get another offer as good. Property further uptown, where the bulk of the membership reside, can be purchased at a very reasonable price, which might enable them to secure a parsonage. Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, has many helpful societies. Each is doing effective mission work. They are looking after the church and last week twelve were persisted, helped the street and follow host pursuits. Rockham, Aug. 4—The Charles R. Hughes Afro-American Republican Club last Wednesday night met at 126 South Ford street. Interested addresses were made by W. B. Keys, president of the club; John Cannon, Charles Montgomery and others. All expressed themselves as being pleased with the speech of acceptance of Judge Taft, the next President of the United States. An interesting letter to the club from Governor Hughes was read by your correspondent, in answer to a letter informing him that the club at a previous meeting had passed a resolution recommending him to the Republican State, convention for renomination. This club was the first organization that had made such a recommendation to the State Congress. Among the new names enrolled were: H. A. Spencer, F. S. Cunningham and George Douglass. This committee was appointed to enroll members for the marching club: W. B. Keys, John Cannon, R. S. Kent, Charles Montgomery and J. W. Thompson. The decision of Justice Morshauer restraining the members of the I. B. P. O. E., organization from wearing the insignia of the white Elks caused Dr. Decker, of this city, to make an appeal to the Supreme Court for a new trial. Some time ago C. Callaway, Albert Robinson and H. D. Murray were arrested for wearing an Elk's badge. They were tried and acquitted in police court. Murray used Dr. Decker for $8,000 for five murders. Murray used a verdict Supreme Court for $500. This sum has never been paid, and now that a new trial has been asked for the case is being watched with great interest. Ex-Judge John D. Lynn appears for Dr. Decker and G. P. Draper for Mr. Murray. Miss Bessie Wheeler Freeman and Rev. Joseph C. Walters were united in marriage at the home of the bride in Auburn last Wednesday. Miss Gertrude A. Thompson, of this city, was maid of honor, and Rev. Walters, brother of the groom, was best man. Miss Thompson returned to this city Friday after seeing the bride off and spending a pleasant time. The ball given by the Household of Ruth last Thursday night was well attended, and all had an enjoyable time. Estella Chapter, No. 7, Order of the Eastern Star, held a lodge of sorrow last Monday night in honor of the bride Enlils, Mrs Beard and Mrs Rosa Platner. There was a large number present, and the ceremonial was interesting. Mr. R. Hawkins, of Geneva, was in the city Sunday. Mr. W. A. Way, of St. Paul, Minn. is in the city visiting friends. Mr. Alfred Sprague has returned from a pleasant visit to friends in Oakville, Canada. William B. Keys and your correspondent was in Scottsville Sunday. The many friends of TheNew York Act of this city hail with great joy the weekly issue as the leading race paper of this country, and are glad to learn that it can be found in this city every Friday in the future. The services at the A. M. E. Zion Church were well attended last Sunday. The annual sermon to the Flower City Lodge, No. 91. I. B. P. O. Elks of the World, was preached by the pastor, Rev. J. W. Brown. It was an eloquent and forceful appeal for a brotherhood upon character integrity and love. The Lord did it well. Elks was born and not made. Therefore, it was necessary for them to have within them these virtues and above all the spirit of Christ; $35 was raised in the evening collection. Mr. and Mrs. Thos Portland entertained at dinner last Sunday Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Brown, Mrs. Pool, of Flushing, L. I. and Mrs. J. W. Parker. Mr. R. Catloms entertained Mr. and Mrs. Phelps, Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Dean, Mr. and Mrs. Lec, Miss Simpson, Mr. Clar- rion Robinson, Mr. Will Miner, Mr. Randul Dhpols and Mr. and Mrs. Parnell Monday evening. July 27. Saratoga, N. Y. SARATOGA, August 12—Last Thursday evening the Saratoga Lyceum held its weekly exercises. It being ladies' night, Miss Celia B. Lattimore occupied the chair and showed splendid executive ability as a presiding officer. The program was not lengthy, but spicy and interesting. ```markdown ``` The program: Singing by audience, invocation by pastor, minutes of previous meeting, unfinished business, new business, singing by audience, selected reading, Miss Grace Askiss; vocal solo, Miss Tilda Stark;s piano solo, Miss Gertrude Green's gospel solo, Miss Rev. A. T. Johnson; vocal solo, Miss Vivian Magee; piano solo, Mrs. E. L Johnson; vocal solo, Mrs. Louise Johnson. In the debate, the subject of which was, "Should Women Propose?" The affirmative was led by Mr. Fenderson, the negative by Haven, Conn. Very strong arguments were presented on both sides, but no decision was rendered Rev. Dr. Stark's pastor of the Dyer Phelps Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church, being in the audience was called upon by the chairman, Miss Lattimore, to speak. He responded most eloquently and everyone was pleased with his talk. Sunday morning Rev. A. T. Johnson, or Miss Olive Baptist Church, preached a very helpful sermon from St. John 1. A juvenile choir is being organized at the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church for the morning services of the church. Such a choir is greatly needed. J. R. Frisby trained by the pastor as choirmaster and Mrs. Louise Maxwell organist. Medical Convention No pains are being spared by the local committee of arrangements for the entertainment of the guests to the tenth annual meeting of the National Medical Association, August 25, 26 and 27. The team and play sessions will be field at Plano Park and reception street, and banquet, and reception Thirty-fourth street. The public will will be at Murray Hill Lyceum on East naturally take a larger interest in the last night. Fully six hundred visitors are expected to attend the convention, and there is every indication that this event will be the biggest attraction here Boston, August 12—In the past ten days it has been gratifying to note the sentiment being formed among the people in this city for Judge Taft. Many of Boston's radical, yet honest and deep-thinking colored citizens, are rapidly living up for the Republican party. The names of many might be mentioned, chief among whom were Messrs. Clement G. Morgan, Robert Bonner and Dr. John B. Hall. These well-known citizens have openly declared themselves for Judge Taft, and Mr. Morgan has announced his candidacy for the State Legislature, subject to the Republican primaries. Robert M. Williams, Yale, '85, five times mayor of his town in New Zealand, and parliamentary candidate subject to the Fall election, sails this week for home. He has been in America for last year, and has visited many cities and towns in America—North, East, South and West. During his stay here, Mr. Williams has made many interesting observations relative to the political, social and industrial conditions of America. Recently he stated that he had met nearly all the prominent men before the American public to-day, including President Roosevelt, Judge 'Taft, and Dr. Booker T. Washington, and that none had impressed him more favorably than the latter. In his opinion the Negro in country is at a critical point in his development. He further believes that an assured continuance of the Republican party is vital to the further constructive progress of the Negro race, and for that reason he says it behooves the Negro to give his undivided support to Judge Taft, whom Mr. Williams knew and knew and now admires in sincere perseverance. During his stay in this city Mr. Williams has been the guest of District Attorney Lewis. New England Patriarchie Regiment No. 7, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, at the largest annual session of its history, last Thursday in Boston, had as its two chief features a splendid street parade and a grand military ball. In the patade more than two hundred of the uniformed craftsmen led by the Boston Brass Band marched over the principal street of the city and were by Governor Curtis Guild at the State House and Mayor George A. Hibbard at City Hall. In the morning session, which preceded the parade at Odd Fellows' Hall on North Russell street, the following officers were elected: Messrs. P. S. Sawyer, of Providence, president; L. W. Dorsey, of Boston, vice-president; D. B. Allen, of Newport, colonel; D. R. Allen, of Boston, lieutenant-coronel; D. R. Allen, of New Bedford recording secretary; E. B. Bishman, of Providence, financial secretary; E. P. Tucker, of Boston, chaplain; Fred Young, of New Haven, assistant. A crowd of Odd Fellows and their friends gathered from the three States, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, completely filled the ball room of Odd Fellows' Hall in the evening. P. M. V. P. J. H. Moore spoke intently on "The History of the Patriarchic" after the grand march, led by M. V. P. W. E. Brooks and Mrs. Brooks, formally organized the large military ball.

Davis, George Bond, George Crawford, M. S. Bryant, G. T.anner, William Lowell, D. M. Lalloy, W. Program, J. H. Moore and A. B. Cookes. Mrs. Wesley Davenport was chairman of the Ladies' chair and Bro C. H. Old residents of Boston in recent years have been more deeply moved to sorrow and sympathy than they have been by the death last Wednesday of Mrs. Sarah A. Randall, wife of Mr. Simon P. Randall, of 78 Kendall street, A singer in the choir of Calvary Baptist Church, Rev. S. A. Comfort, pastor, and a teacher in the Sunday school, a founder and treasurer for 12 years of the Ever Ready Circle of King's Daughters, and a prominent member of the Independent Order of St. Luke Mrs. Randall was an active worker in this community until she went away, when she became suddenly and completely draughty. Since that time her decline has been constant until her death last week at Austin Farm. Mrs. Randall, who was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jackson, was born in Lincoln, Mass, and was married to Mr. Randall eight years ago in this city. She is survived by her husband, an uncle, Mr. Dexter Peters, of Chelsea, Mass, a brother, Mr. Robert Jackson, of Plymouth, N. H., and three others. Mr. Randall is one of the most highly respected men in this community, being comfortable in the funeral services were last Friday afternoon, conducted by Rev. S. A. Brown, Rev. M. H. Scott assisting.

E. Hawkins, principal of Palmer Memorial Institute, Sedalia, North Carolina, and her friends, Misses Cooke, Clapp, Hawkins and Ireland were the guests of honor at an enjoyable reception last Monday evening at the home of Mrs. Fletcher, fields of flowers. Addresses of those were made by several of the other guests present and the guests of honor made peat and witty responses. At the special meeting of the Bay State Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association, held last Thursday evening, Dr. John B. Hall was elected delegate to the Negro Medical Association, to be held in New York City August. 25. (Considerable interest as been manifested hereabout in the convention and many professional and laymen are planning to attend from this city and State. Among them Dr. Hall are: Dr. C. Garland, State vice-president of the N. M. A.; Dr. IW, E. and Dr. Benjamin E. Robinson, Dr. T. E. A. McCurdy, Dr. C. N. Harrison and Dr. Frank Davis, all of greater Boston; Dr. R. E. Logwood, of New Bedford, and Dr. J. H. McKerow, of Worcester. The inventor of the new counting device, Mr. J. S. Davidson, of Washington, D. C., while in the city was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Williams, of 1536 Cambridge street. Cambridge, Mr. and Mrs. Williams, of 1536 Buckner, of Washington, were also the guests of honor at a house party given by their hostess last Tuesday.

C. Many Merriweather Society people called during the evening. Misses Coulson, Dean and Booker, all public school teachers of Petersburg, Va., made a short stay in Boston while en route from Exeter, N. H., to Trepton, New Jersey. While in Boston they were the guests of Undertaker Walden Banks, or Sawyer, of other friends, now residents in this city They left Tuesday for Middleboro, Conn. The funeral of Mrs. Marie Thompson, of 102 Harvard street, Cambridge, a member of the Thursday Evening Club, was held-from her late home last Thursday. Mr. Thompson, the author of this witty friend's at 511 West 43d street, New York. She is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Wilson, and her husband; Mr. William E. Thompson, of Cambridge. Rev. Jesse Harrell, of the Union Baptist Church, officiated. There were many beautiful flowers. Mr. Thompson, the author, Cambridge, Mr. Arthur C. Wilson, had complete charge of the remains. Mr. Bell, a teacher in the Baltimore public schools, is in Boston the guest of Mr. John Bell, of Dundee street. Prof. John T. Layton, of the Washington public schools, after finishing his Summer course in the Normal School of Methods at the New England Conservatory, left Boston last Saturday for New York City. Rev. Pohattan Bagnall and family are spending this vacation at Asbury Park and Atlantic City, N. J. If the enthusiasm shown by the voters of Cambridge this year is in any degree significant, we shall expect to see Clemmons, G. Morgan, Esq, in the next Massachusetts Legislature. The well-known Harvard graduate is at present a candidate subject to the Republican primaries and his friends are active in pushing his candidacy. The editor of the Boston Mudscow continues to deny our statement that he is a Democrat, claiming that he has "always" been a Republican despite the influence of his father's politics. Now this disclaimer decries no one of course in this region, but lest it gain any credence elsewhere, a sample and a fair sample of his record: In 1906 he opposed the nomination of Governor Curts Guild, Jr., for governor of Massachusetts; in 1902 he opposed the nomination of Mayor, Hibbard, nominee of the Republican party, in Boston. In 1908 he opposed the nomination of William H. Taft, nominee of the Republican party for President. Now whether he denies his guilt from fear or shame we are not able to discover. If this record does not convict him of utter Democracy we do not know what constitutes a Democrat. The fact remains, he is a Democrat. GEORGE W. HARRIS. DR. HENDERSON IN CHICAGO CHICAGO. August 3.—While hundreds of thousands of people have visited Chicago there are millions who have not; while thousands who read this paper are well acquainted with Chicago there are other thousands who have not as yet walked the streets of that city. Those who live somewhere within the limits of Chicago and those who have frequently visited the city can see it in their own observations suggested by a two-weeks' sight seeing individual if on a country town, and yet it is often true that a visitor sees what residents do not notice. About 10 years ago I was pastor of a church in Chicago. I have been going in and out during all of the time since then, but it was not until a few weeks ago that I have given any attention to any part of the city and its life beyond the circumscribed range of mere personal business. A few weeks ago I went to Chicago to look around, to look in, to see and to learn about our people. I did look around, I did see some, I did peep in a little and I learned a few things. I do not by any means intend to name all of the places into which I looked, to tell all of the things which I saw, to tell cusses and to tell which I did not to recite all of the few things which I learned, but for a brief space I will set forth a little that may be of interest and perhaps of suggestive value to other visitors. One of the things which I learned is that you cannot judge the race by what Pay a yearly dividend of $9 per cent. Lends money to its institution.

State street is to Chicago as re- to the city where you stand and other favorite lounging places along the line of southern railways is to the South. But it is more than that, it also reveals phases of enterprise of a high order, and somewhere in every group of the teeming strong are individuals who are keen, alert, ambitious, practical and successful and who are gathering the coin. lawyer, real estate agent, newspapers, under- denters, missions and what not. Up from hundreds and thousands and tens of thousands, the race that dwell in Chicago to individuals whose fame for professional skill, business ability and integrity, solid work and substantial achievement has passed from shore to shore. Chicago is a great city and the Negro in Chicago partakes of the characteristics of the community in You may see scores going in and out or loitering about a saloon, back in behind the screens are a few who are eagerly gathering in the gold and most of the multitude that pass in and out are persons who at other times are earnest toilers who in some avocation get the opportunity to offer upon the altars of sport and vice. All sorts of legitimate business enterprises flourish up and down portions of State street, and whatever money is gathered is saved to the race. Young men gather it on the railroads from the Atlantic to the Pacific, persons gather it in villages or on farms, but all of that portion of the comers to Chicago which frequents State street and spends and spends the money they earned of what they came in with right in the hands of some, enterprising, ambitious, solid-minded member of the face. State street proceeds from down town southward in spots and blocks and half blocks and long streaks without regularity or easily discovered system. Here will be a quiet business spot, sedate and respectable, and just past it will be gilded vice and just past it will be gilded stretch of guaiety mingled with vice and legitimate business and then solid and thriving spots where high-class professional activities flourish. Just off State street, east and west, are the churches, some of them representing the uppermost types of religious life and spiritual attainments, just off of State street to the west are hundreds and hundreds, of homes of earnest, industrious, worthy families, and just off State street to the east, reaching almost to the lake and stretching north and south for miles, are stately mansions, and the homes of places and offer the homes of tens of thousands of the race who dwell in marble halls. Hundreds whose money-gathering enterprises flourish on State street reside in quiet and respectable streets to the east of that thronged highway. I have spoken at length of State street because it is the part of Chicago which the average visitor of the race sees first and it is sad to say, it is also the portion beyond which many do not pass and only certain spots of which they see so that many go away with dearly bought knowledge of certain spots and entirely ignorant of other spots exactly there. There are but a few certain spots along State street, where the vicious and broken-down element is a fixture, the real inhabitants are enterprising in individuals who are there for business only, while the habitats are more or less industrious and respectable persons who have come here to buy or sport or sightsee. The crowd is changing all of the time, as individuals vanish to pursue various means of earning money, while others come here soon like visitors to newsletters. Go down and down State street and you will see new faces every day, but the same old stands are there, whether of stores, restaurants, various sorts of shops, drug stores, offices of doctor, lawyer, real estate agent, newspapers, undertakers, missions and what not. Up from the hundreds and thousands and tens of thousands of the race that dwell in Chicago tower individuals whose fame for professional skill, business ability and integrity, solid worth and substantial achievement has passed from shore to shore. Chicago is a great city and in Chicago partakes of the characteristics of a city which he lives. Who has not heard of Dr. Dan Williams, Dr. George Hall, Lawyer Ed. Morris, Dr. D. P. Roberts, Dr. A. J. Carey and scores of others? Chicago is the home of one of the most refined, progressive and able hops of the race in the person of Bishop Shaffer, of whose great work extending throughout the Middle West these columns told a few weeks ago. Chicago is to be the home of Bishop Parks, lately of New York, and from the country will hear. It is the home of some of the best known women of the race and has an army of young men and women in high and responsible places of most astounding numbers. In a future article I hope to speak more in detail and to give a few brief sketches of men and women who have done it. I also wish to tell of some of the churches and institutions and of the leading spirits 'in their work. There is scarcely a community anywhere in the country in which there are not some families who have members living in Chicago. What a field for a national race journal, a journal that races the people to send the folks at home to let them what the race is doing in the great western city. Our newspaper men in Chicago are alive to the opportunities and some one will sooner or later make the hit. Arrivals at Thompson Cottage, Saran- **M. and Mrs. R. Coulson.** Kentucky; Mrs. M. W.

As Judge Goff has expressed sur- prise at the view taken by the writer intimating that the overworked Negro question had something to do in the Bon-approval of the certificate of in-| corporation there is nothing: more. to’ say on that point. However, it is in order for the writer to give his reasons for making such an assertion, In the first place there has riot been any decided change of late regarding the method of sccuring the approval “of a certificate of incorporation. The Frogs are secklng to incorporate under the same laws as did the “White Rats.” the “White Mice,” the “Lambs'i—all or- ganized by theatrical people—with a view to promoting art. The “Owls.” the Eagles and a score or more of organiza- tions with similar names are in exist- ence and were granted cértificates of incorporation, they, too, organizing 10 promote art and so on: So when one makes a resume of what the courts have done heretofore in such cases arid then recalls Judge Goff's rul- ing in the case of the Frogs there was but assumption left for the writer and that was the ‘color question must have played a prominent part in the case. Judge Gof's ruling was at first: very discouraging when one considers that on ; the certificate of Incorporation were the pames of representative men, some of whom are known in two continents and not representing hundreds of dollars, but hundreds -of thousands of doflars. When ioformation came to the writer that Justice Goff refused to approve the cer- tificate of incorporation he asked him-! self the question: If Negro citizens known both in America and in Europe are unable to receive judicial sanction t@ conduct a first-class club what in- fluence, if any, will those less known be able to exert? Had George Cohan, Lew Ficlds, Joe Weber, the Rogers Brothers and a num- ber of others well known in the theatri- cal_ world applied for incorporation poner we wonder just what would have the fate of the application. In the effete East, particularly, do we Jook to the powers that be to assist the race in all endeavors that tend to ele- vate and instruct, for education and culture make us better citizens. and to be a good citizen—regardless of color— means that much more to this country, for the higher the development of citi- cenship the higber is the status of the United States.

The Sunday morning prayer meeting at Epworth M. F. Church is well attended. *Sunday morning. Rev. J.

GRANT NEGRO TEAM DEFEATS INDIANS Match was Played in Buxton, In., Before Large Crowd—Negro Player's Won in Last Inning by Great Playing BUXTON, IA., August 12.—Several days ago the people of Buxton were treated to the novel sight of a game of baseball between a team composed of Negroes on one side and a nine made up principally of Indians on the other. On both teams, however, was a white player, which made the game even more of a decidedly mixed affair. By a grand rally toward the end of the game the Negro team won by the score of 5 to 4, but not until many left with palpitation of the heart, due to the excitement during the match. In speaking of the match the Buxton (Ia.) Gazette gave the following account: Last Monday afternoon the people of of Buxton were treated to the novel sight of a ball game, in which red men were, lined up against black men, with just a few white men helping on both sides and thus giving an added streak of coloring to the contest between the Oklahoma Indians and the Buxton Wonders. For the first four innings both sides were held down to big round ciphers on the blackboard by the fence. Things were quiet. The blacks and the reds seemed to hold even hands. People went to sleep in the grand stand and, the side line shouters simply hugged the grass. Othello's occupation was gone. In the fifth iming one lone Indian touched glad feet on the home plate with the joy of one who had reached the happy hunting ground. "And the heart of Hiawatha Laughed and shouted and exaulted." He was followed by another and another fleet-footed native American. Then Buxton got busy. Megaphones roared out from the grand stand, loud-lunged rooters emerged from the shadows of the western fence prepared to howl home Bailey's Buxton Batters. The ladies called for Slim to save the game. Watkins, who was pitching for Buxton, heard them and he added a tighter grip to the ball. Benton crouched for more desperate work behind the big stick of the Indian Chief. Everybody woke up. Then it was that our boys began to come home. They slipped in and found a rousing, ready welcome. They came first one at a time and then four at a time in the eighth inning and it was all over. The score stood 5 to 4 in favor of Buxton. "And they said, 'Farewell, forever!'" Said, Farewell, O Hiawatha!" And the forests, dark and lonely. Moved through all their depth of darkness, Sighed, 'Farewell, O Hiawatha.' And the waves upon the margin Rising, rippling on the pebbles, Sobbed, 'Farewell, O Hiawatha!'" NEW PRINCIPAL FOR ST. LOUIS SCHOOL St. Louis, July 22.—The fourth annual session of the First District Baptist Convention of Western States convened at the Fifth Baptist Church, over one hundred delegates being present. The early part of the week was devoted to the many auxillaries, under the management of the ladies. The convention proper opened Thursday morning by admonition by the Rev. Ralph Wells for the city of St. Louis, Rev J. W. Crushon for the membership of the First Baptist Church, Rev J. L. Cohn and Rev C. N. Douglas for the Baptist Ministers' Union and the Inter-Denominal Alliance. Responses were by Rev J. F. Thomas, of Ebenezer Church, Chicago, and Prof. Rodgen, of Buxton, Iowa. The sessions were very interested in the sessions, very hard to much to demonstrate the real power and influence of our Baptist brethren as an agency for the better things in life. Politics crept into the convention. Rev. Venerable introduced resolutions paying a special compliment to Senator Foraker, but Dr. Fisher, of Chicago, always on the alert, objected very strenuously to the decision to resolve the resolutions that would indicate that the Baptists were opposed to the Republican party and its nominee and succeeded in having the resolution of Rev. Venerable tabled, and the convention went on record as the friend of both Foraker and Taft as a united Republican party. The convention adjudicated special sionary service at Central Baptist, Sunday afternoon. The Board of Education has announced the appointment of Prof. Williams, of Covington, Ky., as the principal of Summer High School. Prof. Williams is known as the popular educator of Kentucky. Mayor Rolla Wells vetoed the bill to purchase the high school site for a city park. The hand of death was plainly seen in our city on Saturday, the 11th inst. Mr. Poseley, Sr., father of the grocer, Paul Moseley, Jr., died early in the morning of acute indigestion. Then came the news of the death of Miss Eva Richardson of 1922 Lawton avenue. Mistress Richardson had been infiltrated her bed for about a year. While still in deep thought in reference to the first mentioned friends, news reached our office of the death of Mr. Garrett, 6116 Labadie street. Miss Garrett was called, home from Howard University early in the summer to attend her father. The Dunbar Civic League of East St. Louis held a meeting on the 12th inst. Mr. C. H. Anderson and Prof. Bowles were present and urged the league to continue in the work of teaching the Negro the true value of his suffrage. - Poughkeepsie, N. Y. POUGHKEEPIS, August 12th - Mr. J.
