Our Staff Correspondent Finds Voters for Republican Nominee Delaware Has Not a Single Lawyer on Account of Democratic Control of Judiciary Representative Business and Professional Men Say They Will Vote the Republican Ticket —The Sixth Ward Republican Club WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 2-If you want to find out just what is the attitude of the Negro voters of Delaware toward William H. Taft, go to Wilmington, the largest city in the State. There the sentiment of the Negro voters throughout the entire State is reflected, and if any one for a moment thinks that Bryan will get their vote, such a thought will soon be dissipated upon making a visit to Wilmington. True there are some few Negroes who still show resentment over the Brownsville affair and assert that by voting for Bryan they would be hitting at the President indirectly, but they are so few and far between, they fail to attract notice as was the case some weeks ago. Putting aside the Brownsville incident the local conditions existing in Delaware at this time are such that, the Negro voters have made up their minds to vote the Republican ticket from top to bottom, and for several reasons. In the first place there is not a Negro lawyer in the State, due to the Democrats having control of the judiciary. The judges have the power to appoint a commission to pass upon applicants for admission to the bar. As the judges are mostly Democrats, they have appointed commissions hostile to the Negro. This fall the Negro voters intend to help elect Republican judges throughout the State, which will mean Negroes will practice law in Delaware. Then the recent ruling of a Democratic judge, who objected to a Negro being called Mister in his court, has also created widespread indignation. The nominee for Governor on the Republican ticket is exceedingly popular with the Negro voters, and has promised that in the event of his election he will use his influence against any applicant being refused the right to practice law on account of his color, but will see that merit is the test in all such matters. Wilmington is a city with a very large Negro population, but there is not a single lawyer in the city, due to the Democrats, who will continue to pursue the policy of keeping Negro lawyers out of the State if their judges are retained in power. Owing to Senator Du Pont's attitude in the Brownsville case, he voting with Senator Foraker for a Senatorial investigation in behalf of the discharged soldiers, his Negro constituents have been more conservative than voters in other parts of the country. Senator Du Pont has advised them that nothing can be gained by attacking the Republican party and its nominee for President, and has promised that if Judge Taft is elected he will continue to assist Senator Foraker in his endeavor to secure a fair trial for each soldier. Several prominent business and professional men were seen by your correspondent and asked to express their views on the choice of the Negro voters for President. All were Taft men. Dr. S. E. Ellert, who wields considerable influence in Wilmington, when approached on the subject, said: "We are for Taft. I am sure when November comes around you will find Delaware casting its electoral vote for Taft and the Negro voters assisting in making this State-go Republican." Dr. H. S. Stevens and Chas. H. Colburn are also for Judge Taft and expressed themselves accordingly. One of the most enthusiastic Taft men in Wilmington is Dr. W. Henry Pipes, vice president of the Sixth Ward Republican Club. Dr Pipes thinks the election of the Republican nominee in November is inevitable. "The Sixth Ward Republican Club is the largest Negro political organization in Wilmington, having 240, enrolled members," stated the doctor to your representative. "The club house is located at 900 Walnut street, and we organized last January to support the Republican, nominee, no matter, who was nominated in Chicago. As Judge Taft was nominated we are going to support him to a man, as we do not see what benefit can be derived from voting the Democratic ticket. "In Wilmington there are nearly 1200 voters and we have taken a straw vote which shows that there will be a few Negroes who will support William Jennings Bryan. In my district there are 304 votes of which 186 are colored. Out of the entire 186 Negro voters of the Eighth District I feel confident that an election day each will cast his vote or William H. Taft." The Sixth Ward Republican Club, which is perfecting arrangements 40 make a systematic campaign for the Republican Presidential nominee, is commited of the following officers: William H. Johnson, president; Dr. W. Heuri Pipes, vice-president; Walter Harvey, secretary, and Wilson Hemesley. THE NEW YORK AGE. treasurer. On the executive committee are Wilson Hemley, Frank Hainsworth, Elijah Russ, Isaac C, Flood, Andrew Boston, Julius Bayard, Thos. Walker, Geo. Robinson, Dewitt Dale, W. J. Johnson, John Simmons, J. C. Moore, John Lyons, W. J. Willis, Ernest J. Reese, J. H. F. Armstrong, John Gibbs, S. J. Joffes, S. J. Millis, John Boston. Thursday, evening, September 3, a big Republican mass meeting will be held under the auspices' of the club at Bavarian Park. A street parade will take place at 7.30 o'clock. The line will form at the headquarters of the club and march to the park, where there will be speaking and music. As your correspondent stated above, the Negro voters of that State are for Taft, and if any one doubts it let him make a visit to Wilmington and other cities in the State. L. A. W. WAS PUT OUT OF BUSINESS. Restaurant Keeper Who Did Not Want Negro Patronage Closet Shop. CHICAGO. September 2.—When a Southerner opened a cheap restaurant in this city at 224 Thirty-fifth street a little over a month ago he put a sign in his window which read: "We do not desire colored patronage." Not only did the Negro citizens take offense at the sign but the whites as well. The residents in the neighborhood agreed to inaugurate a crusade against the restaurant keeper and put him out of business The Southerner declared that "he would remain and do business or el..." From the looks of things he did "the else," as the place where he kept shop is empty and the colored people are jubilant. Booker T. Washington to Visit Minne- sapolis in October.

On the Cunard liner Carmania, which reached her pier in New York last Thursday from Liverpool were Prof. J. M. Gregory of the Ironsides School, Bordentown, N. J., and his son, T. M. Gregory, who is a Harvard student and played on the varsity team in seven games last season. The Gregorys were at the Olympic games and, according to a Globe reporter, said the feeling on the other, side now—in France among other places—is that the Americans were a good deal in the wrong in the uproar against the actions of the English officials; that the Americans misunderstood the differences between American regulations and English regulations.

BANQUET OF THE NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AT MURRAY HILL LYCEUM Recent Attempt to Bring About a Bryan Demonstration in Washington. Proves to be a Big Fiasco WASHINGTON. September 2.—It was disclosed recently that the management of "the Bryan campaign had effected some kind of a deal with the "would-be Negro Democrats" to make an attempt to break up all Taft meetings held by Negro voters throughout the country. According to one of the plotters, who gave out the contemplated plan confidentially, to all large Taft meetings held by Negro voters there would be sent by the Democrats a dozen or more men who, at a certain time, would hiss the name of Taft and yell for Bryan. In this way they seek to make a demonstration that will tend to show BANQUET OF THE N that the Negroes are in favor of Bryan and against Taft. At a recent meeting in this city an endeavor was made by the few Negro Democrats, to stampede the gathering for Bryan, but to no good purpose. In referring to the affair the Washington Post said: It was charged that Bryan sympathizers among the Negroes of the District attempted to stampede the Republican ratification meeting last night, at True Reformers' Hall. While the first speaker, Harry Summers, of Baltimore, had the floor, there was an effort on the part of a few men in the gallery to start cheering for Bryan, but it was of short duration and caused little commotion in the audience, which was made up of those who had responded to the call of the Empire State Republican Club to met and ratify the nominees of the Chicago convention. The one discordant note came while Summers was speaking. "Lafit," sounded a voice from the gallery, and the cry was greeted with applause, mingled with hues. Apparently ten or twelve men, seated near the place whence the voice came, were trying to stir up a demonstration, but the effort failed; although a few of them shouted "Hurrah for Bryan!" the hubbler threatened for a time to spread. Speaker Cummings was disconcerted, and the presiding officer, Walter A Pinchback, president of the Empire State Republican Club, looked worried, but the excitement died down quickly and was not renewed during the evening. Once or twice an individual appeared to seek opportunity to take issue with a speaker, but he was not noticed, and the ratification ended peacefully. Applause greeted the appearance in the hall of the Rev. George W. Lee and his declaration, in a speech following that of Cummings, that he intended to lend his influence in favor of the Republican ticket. Speaking of Judge Taft, the speaker said: "Regardless of any grievances we may have against Mr. Taft, we know he has solemnly promised to carry out the declarations of, the Republican platform. If he fails, we will ram that platform down his throat." The speaker said some one had told the Negroes they must take care of Foraker. "But," he inquired, "how will we take care of Foraker by voting the Democratic ticket, when Foraker has been fighting Democracy all his life?" Asserting that the Democratic party not only never had done anything for the Negro, but had not even invited him into that party, the pastor advised his hearers "to stay where we've got something and contend until he get more." WESTERN VOTERS FOR TAFT Resolutions Faced by Spokane County Colored Republican Club for Taft. SPOKANE, September 2.—That the Negro voters of the West are heartily in favor of the election of Judge Taft for President was shown a few days ago when an organization was effected by the Spokane County Colored Republican Club to work for Judge Taft's election. Enthusiasm ran high and the following resolutions were adopted: "Resolved, That we, the Colored Republican Club of Spokane County, renew our allegiance to the great national Republican party; the party which has protected American industries and American labor; that party which has been for more than fifty years the friend of the American Negro; that party which has placed in its national platform a declaration which pledges the party to the enforcement of the spirit and letter of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments of the Constitution of the United States. "Resolved, That we give our moral and personal support to that party which has declared against 'all devices that have for their real aim the dis- NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AT MU franchisement of the Negro for reasons of color alone as unfair and un-American "Resolved. That we do all in our power as an organization and as individuals to bring about the election of William Howard Taft, Republican nominee for President, and James S. Sherman, nominee for Vice-President." The most important part of the evening's program was the selection of a campaign committee whose principal duty it shall be to see that the entire strength of the colored vote is registered before the primary election. A committee composed of three, as follows: Charles S. Parker, chairman, J. B. Hagans and J. T. Hatcher, were appointed to take charge of this work. The committee is to arrange the entire list of colored votes according to the precincts and appoint a member in each precinct to look after the registration of the voters, and report to the committee. Funds were raised from the membership to carry on all of the necessary expenses of the club. A committee was also appointed to wait on Mr. Charles R. Connor, president of the Taft-Sherman Club, and inform him that the Spokane County Colored Republican Club is now in working order. NEEDED THE MONEY. So the Colored Elks Agreed to Keep Out of Hotels and Restaurants. St. Paul, Minn., August 31.—The national convention of colored Elks opened in the St. Paul auditorium last Tuesday. In connection with the arrival of the colored delegates signs reading "H. and R. Association" became conspicuous in the windows and doors of many of the leading restaurants and hotels. Inquiry 'at the headquarters of the local lodge developed the information that an agreement was entered into some time ago between the Hotel and Restaurant. Keepers' Association and the lodge whereby the Association agreed to pay for the use of the St. Paul auditorium for the colored Elks provided the reception committee would instruct visitors to keep away from all places that were placarded. The local lodge needed the money and the proposition was accepted. BOSTONIANS SAFE AND SOUND The Sentiment of Boston Voters Overwhelmingly Republican "IT'S FOOLISHNESS" They Say When Asked About Voting for Bryan—Preachers on Springfield Riot—Citizens Returning Home Bosrox, Sept. 2.—The opening of the national political campaign finds Boston's colored people safe and sound. They are not excited about any question, but this year as always before and with their people elsewhere, they are overwhelmingly Republican. Practical Negroes, radical Negroes, educated Negroes, and just plain Negroes throughout Boston and its suburbs have joined in the last two days in expressing sentiments which lead me to this conclusion as the result of my canvass. If I should give in one word their feelings on the statement "Negroes must MURRAY HILL LYCEUM vote for Bryan" it would be as their answer, "Foolishness." Then they began to argue as to just how foolish it would be for the colored citizens to bolt the Republican party on the score of Brownville when Bryan himself justified the President's discharge as he has just pointed out. But as a matter of fact from sheer weariness the Boston colored people are turning from Brownville and turning to Boston. And from the discredited Democrats and political pirates, who alone have charge of that worn-out effort here they have turned away in disgust. The real, influential leaders here are taking their followers into the pleasant Republican path of assured political progress. They are pointing out to their people the "promised land" if they be not tempted of the devil. We predicted some time ago that the Negroes of consequence in Boston who would jump with their Democratic masters at jumping time could be counted on the fingers of the hands. That time is now. To day every politician of prominence—not in morality—in this city is safely aboard the band wagon or looking earnestly for room thereon. Every leading lawyer and doctor, young and old, has come into the fold. Certain Boston preachers went down to Jericho and fell among the thieves. But they were "taken in" only for a time. To day they tell you that Taft is their good Samaritan. The ninety and nine of leading preachers being within the fold, the lone sheep still on the desert is Rev. S. J. Comfort, of the Calvary Baptist Church. An estimable man, a clean pastor, but without political experience and knowledge, he became an early and easy prey. But a substantial member of Calvary said yesterday in regard to his preacher's politics: "The word has been dropped in his ear." When pressed further the good brother simply said: "The message strong and clear has been conveyed to our beloved pastor." The progressive, hard-headed masses of Boston Negroes who fill our churches (and let no one doubt that the large body of our people here are such) simply will not support a Democrat as pastor. The case of Rev. H. J. Callis, formerly, of the Columbus Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church, who went down to Jericho in the pre-convention campaign, proves this. The developments of the last few weeks have given the anti-Taft attempt almost a death blow. The coming out for Taft of Measrs. N. B. Marshall, W. H. Ferguson, who denies being secretary of the mythical Political "League," and Clement G. Morgan, all well known in Boston circles, has taken away the only leg the "League" had in Boston to stand on. This has taken the wind out of his sail. Wit. the anti-T. lessly out. Sermons on the Springfield riot were preached by all the colored and many of the white pastors of Boston last Sunday. Especially eloquent and forceful were the words of those two powerful Negro pastors, Rev. T. W. Henderson and Rev. George L. White, at their respective churches; and of both of their addresses the daily press carried large extracts. In concluding Rev. White said: "I advise the race not to invite trouble, to abide by the law, to seek the peace of the people in the places where you dwell and to keep aloof from that class which is a menace to society. But when impositions are put upon you and mohs break the peace and tranquility of your homes be prepared to protect your homes and families with the last drop of blood." Dr. White, a graduate of Brown University, is the new and successful pastor of the Columbus Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church. A large audience is the rule at this church on Sundays, listened to his strongly moral and practical sermons. Over a half hundred members have been added to the church rolls and between two and three thousand dollars have been raised during his pastorate of three months. Conservative and progressive, Rev. White is a needed addition to Boston's leading colored citizens. The back of the frontispiece of the current issue of the American Magazine is the charming little love lyric, "The Refusal," by W. Stanley, the rising Negro bard. Delicate and graceful in outline, it is finely expressive and surpassingly sweet in sentiment and ranks well with the best lyric efforts of the author, "Endowed," as Editor Clements, of the Boston Transcript, among other eminent literateurs have announced, "with rare poetic genius, still youthful and patiently plodding in his profession, we set neither metes nor bounds to his future." Mr. Clement Richardson, Harvard, 1907, and in while in college a leader in the elite society set of Boston, was married last Tuesday to Miss Ida Jane' Rivers, of Meridian, Miss. While teaching in the Atlanta Baptist College this past year Mr. Richardson saw, wooed and won his present bride, known as one of the South's fairest daughters. The coming year he will teach at Tuskegee where he has engaged apartments. While in Cambridge this summer Mr. Richardson was the guest of his old friend and classmate, George W. Harris. On Wednesday, August 18, the Bostonians Club, Mr. James L. Jackson, president, gave a complimentary dinner at the Hotel Upton to Mr. Wm. H. Moore, the Boston delegate to the Elks convention in St. Paul, Mim. The better known of those sitting down were Messrs. George F. Betts, Wm. Benjamin, B. M. Price, Arthur Jackson, J. W. Wheeler, John Ford, Robt. Beasley, J. L. Smith, F. Barry, J. Phillips, W. H. Moore, Ambrose Johnson, J. L. White, and Robert W. Ferguson, toastmaster. Mr. Wm. H. Dupree, postmaster in Station A, "Boston's largest substation, left last Sunday, August 29, for the National G. A. R. Encampment at Toledo. O. Besides having served with distinction in an Ohio regiment in the Civil War. Mr. Dupree was postmaster for over a decade, having risen from the ranks. Before returning he will visit relatives in Bainbridge and Chilicotte, Ohio. Miss Susie Raymond, sister of Mr. Theodore H. Raymond, the largest and richest real estate dealer in Cambridge, was pleasantly "at home" at her splendid Magazine street residence last Thursday evening in honor of Miss Ruth Thomas, of St. Louis, and Miss Beatrice Lewis, of Washington. D. C. Those present were Misses Augusta Cartwright, Evangeline Hall, Theodosia Marsh, Adole Corner, Bessie V. Trotter, Beatrice Duncan, Liaut. Andrews, Messrs. Jas. Wolff, Earnest Gould and Clarence Faulkner. A welcome and farewell reception was given last Thursday evening at the Columbus Avenue Zion Church in honor of Reys, George L. White and H. J. Callis, respectively. Addresses were made by Reys, B. W. Farris and S. A. Brown and Mrs. Scott Robinson. Those contributing the pleasing program were Mr. Elmer Payne, Misses Ida Hall, Ada Gaskins, Marjorie Grotes and Prof. J. F. Ramson. Most of Boston's society people who have been summering in New England resorts will have returned by the end of the present fortnight to their Boston residences. They include Mrs. Joseph Lee of Columbus avenue, from a short vacation of rest and quiet, on the Grant farm in the White Mountains of New Hampshire; Dr. and Mrs. George T. Grant, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Brown and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Washington from the Washington cottage at Coheset; Dr. and Mrs. S. F. Courtney and children, Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. N. A. Ridley and Mrs. Mattie A. MacAdoo and sister, Miss Lulu Allen of Washington, D. C., from Mrs. N. B. Morrell's cottage, at Jamestown, R. L. and Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Lewis and children from Oak Bluffs, Mass. Mr. W. B. Smith held an informal opening last Tuesday, September 1, of his splendid new dining-room, at 108 Dartmouth street: His new quarters have been renovated throughout and new quartered oak furniture has been placed throughout the dining-room. Formerly at 123 Dartmouth street, by pressure of business Mr. Smith was forced into his larger and better quarters. Mr. S. E. Cunningham has opened a neat and attractive bathershop at the old stand 31 Howard street, Cambridge. Mr. George H. Booker, at his large furniture store, on Tremont street, Rowbury, now holds auction sales on Friday evenings. Mr. Booker does the largest NOT TILL AFTER MARCH 4 The Brownville Case to be Passed Over During] Coming Congress To Take Up the (Matter in the Event of Judge Taft's Election Says Negress 'Should See That Every Republican Nominee for Congress Pledges Minimil to Work for Soldiers' Relentless Congress will not take up the Brownsville matter until after March 4. This bit of information was given out last week by one who is supposed to be in a position to know. According to the informant both Republicans and Democrats agree that as President Roosevelt's term expires in March it would be an act of courtesy to insist in airing the affair during the coming session. In the event of Judge Taft's election, the case of the discharged soldiers will be brought up at the special session which will be called by William H. Taft to consider the tariff question. Oscar T. Crosby, member of an old Virginian family and connected with several business enterprises in New York which necessitate his presence in this city several times a year, was interviewed by a representative of The Age on the Presidential campaign a few days ago. Although a life-long Democrat Mr. Crosby is an enthusiastic supporter of William H. Taft for President, and declares that he would not be surprised if his State did not give its electoral vote for Taft and Sherman. According to Mr. Crosby, who lives at his home, "View Tree," in Warrenton, Va., the business interests of this country can not afford to elect Bryan, who would cause many panics during his administration and would make hard times for all. Mr. Crosby was an officer in the regular army and has been deeply interested in the Brownsville affair. He declares that despite his Southern birth he is in sympathy with the discharged soldiers and believes that they should be re-instated. "Having been in the army and knowing what kind of a soldier the Negro makes I was very much surprised to note the stand President Roosevelt took on the question, but I was as equally surprised to see the radicalism displayed by some of the Negro race," said Mr. Crosby. "The majority of us, white and black, admit that President Roosevelt acted hastily in discharging the troops; we also think the mistake should be rectified. However, it is folly on the part of the Negro voters to bring the Brownsville matter into the Presidential campaign. "Supposing Bryan is elected President, will the soldiers be reinstated?" "What the Negro voters should do is to see that Congressional action is taken regarding the discharged soldiers. Let them see each Republican nominee in his district for Congress and make him pledge that he will do all in his power to secure the reinstalment of the soldiers if elected. "It is conceivable that many Negroes, not knowing how to express their resentment, may vote for Republican Congressman and scratch Taft because of his personal connection with the Brownsville case. That is just what Republicans and the Taft Democrats (I am of that sect) should try to prevent. We (the Taft Democrats) don't object to a reasonable Democratate success in the Congress election, but we don't want Bryan for President. "Mr. Taft's letter of acceptance by its silence on the Brownville matter leaves it possible for those of us who demand justice for the Negro battalion to suppose that he would not resist a Congressional reopening of the question next year. It is proper that neither he nor Mr. Bryan should make a campaign committal on the subject. We have Senator Foraker's word for it that further action will be urged in Congress. Let us convince the Negro that in his own interest he should not make a Presidential issue out of the Brownville outrage. "Among the many regrettable acts due to Mr. Roosevelt's waywardness none is more unfortunate than his dismissal of faithful soldiers whose race brethren in their just anger are now tempted to a vengeful use of the ballot. While thoroughly sympathizing with their strong feeling, we should advise them against making a national issue of this single act of one man. Moreover, let it be pointed out that an adequate correction of the wrong already done cannot be had through 'executive' act alone, but must result from Congressional initiative. This fact has not been property appreciated by the 'Negroes.' Let them and their sympathizers urge the case upon Congressional candidates North and South. Let the Presidency be determined upon larger issues." "This is equally important to white and black, to Republican and Democrat." OVERHEARD ON THE AVENUE Dr. Charles H. Roberts, the dentist, has removed from 242 West Fifty-third street to 238 West Fifty-third street. He has taken a two years' leave on this house which will be occupied by himself and Mr. Arthur W. Handy. Dr. Chas. Roberts has lived and had his office with his brother, Dr. E. P. Roberts, ever since he has practiced dentistry. Mr. W. O. Thompson came over from Wexhaven last Sunday. He has not been seen much in his old haunt since he became a benedict, he has the same visional exciting individual as ever. The Hotel Maco is undergoing regina and the dining room is being reuseded. Mr. Thomas states that the eating capacity will be greater and there will be other improvements in the popular hostelery. Improvements in the dining room and service will be greatly appreciated, as the hotel is well located for the convenience of the public. Mrs. D. P. Reij was taken suddenly ill week before last and was removed to the Presbyterian Hospital, where she underwent an operation. She is reported to have improved somewhat and as now with her niece in the Bronx. Rev. M. W. Gilbert, pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, was in the city last week, having returned from a long vacation. He did not appear at his church, however, last Sunday. One of the local committee of doctors so far forgot himself as to appear at the banquet Thursday evening in a business suit. On such an occasion, Doctor, you should wear the conventional evening dress. It was a great week, lots of fun and frolic and now whereas most of the visitors have returned we are counting up the cost and recovering from the effects. Notable among the past week's functions was the ienie at Lenartz Casino, North Beach, which was given by a committee of ladies for the visiting doctors and friends. The crowd commenced to flock there in the afternoon and 10 o'clock in the evening the place was closed until the last car left for the Thirty-fourth street ferry. One thing that the committee is to be commended for was the exclusiveness of the attendance. The entertainment afforded on this occasion gave the Southern visitors a taste of their own hospitality only on a larger scale. Mrs. Gilbert Wilson, of 262 West Fifty-third street, was called suddenly to Richmond, Va., by the death of her brother. Mrs. Wilson left Saturday and will probably remain a week. After the excellent sermon preached by the pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, Dr. W. H. Brooke, last Sunday morning, Commander Benito-Sylvain aide-d-camp, to His Majesty, King Menkelik of Abyssinia, was introduced to the congregation. The gentleman was unable to express himself very fully in English as he speaks the French language, but promised to be better able to talk to the people later when he will have acquired a more thorough knowledge of English. His mission here is in the interest of a universal association which will be established several years ago, which is called "The church for the social betterment of the blacks." Its object, so M. Sylvain says, is to unite the blacks of Europe with those of America for the mutual benefit of both. He aims to "put an end to prejudice, stupid and odious as well, which still prevails more or less against colored men. Its principal means is to unite the most eminent members of the black race to the most influential leaders of the white race in order to co-ordinate a combined action for the moral improvement of mankind." There is a pamphlet which fully explains the object of the association printed in the French language, but we learn that there will be translated copy at the disposal of the church for a fortnight. Dr. Blyden of Liberia, Africa, is the honorary president of the organization in Paris, M. Sylvain admires Dr. Booker Washington and his work for the uplift of the race. He met Dr. Washington in Paris and is not altogether a stranger here as he appeared at Bethel Church last June. With him was his secretary, Miss Eva Scott, a young colored Englishwoman. The annual meeting of stockholders of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company took place last Friday afternoon at East Orange, N. J. About six thousand stockholders were represented in person and by proxies. The same officers were retained in office and Messrs. L. C. Collins and E. B. Drees were re-elected to the Board of Directors for a term of five years. A resolution was made recommending the management for the policy during the past year. In the evening a meeting was held at the main office on West Forty-sixth street which was attended by several hundred visiting stockholders who came from Georgia and other Southern and Northern States. Rev Creditt, of Philadelphia, and Rev Johnson Hill, of Boston, addressed the meeting. Others who spoke were Mrs. Daisy Walker, of Indiana; Mrs. Sass Harris, of Missouri; superintendent of the Brooklyn office of the company. It was estimated that fully three-quarters of a million dollars in the company's stock was represented at the meeting. Drop Us Here Miss Hattie B. Snow, of Staten County, a guest of M. F. W.

SEND ALL CHECKS DRAFTS AND MONEY ORDERS TO The sixth bi-centennial convention of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, which held its sessions in Brooklyn from August 24-30, proved a most pleasant as well as successful event. It has done a great deal of good in the way of inspiring and stimulating the women of this city to activity along all lines. From the beginning to the end the sessions were largely attended and full of instruction. The excellent papers read on various phases of the work were a revelation of the woman who had heretofore paid little or no attention to club work or those engaged in it. It is certain that an interest and enthusiasm has been awakened in the womanhood of Brooklyn hitherto unknown, which will make her in the future an exponent or factor of considerable proportions. Owing to the convention being held hate this year, the delegation was reduced to half. Over thirty States were represented, the delegation of which numbered almost two hundred. That this representation was composed of the brain of the race goes without saying, for fewer in the history of Brooklyn has there been on any occasion a more brilliant array of talent. Those who had entertained the idea that women could not control an association of national dimensions, had conclusive proof last week that women not only know the law, but conform to it; that they are not only capable but know how to express their capabilities. The women who were replete with thought and wholesome advice. Each delegate seemed to have come to the convention to bring some new idea, some plan whereby the work for the uplift of womanshood might be expanded. The national officers were all women of dignity who throughout the sessions not only retained the admiralty but commanded the respect of the large audiences which attended the sessions throughout. One of the most striking features of the convention was the harmony which prevailed among the delegates. While there was a difference of opinion at Bunny it was always done in the most respectful manner. At no time was there any evidence of anger. It is doubtless if there has ever been within the history of the association a more successful convention than the one herein referred to. The business sessions were held throughout the week at the Concord Baptist Church, where appetizing meals, carefully prepared, were served by a competent committee of ladies, who had previous to the convention formed a part of the local committee which had been so zealously working for the successful entertainment of the association. Notwithstanding the invitation to visit Brooklyn was extended by the Dover clubs and other societies worked unitingly and inexactly by cooperating with every idea advanced by that organization pertaining to the entertainment of the national association. All concerned are to be congratulated on the splendid management which brought about a most successful as well as pleasant convention. In addition, delegates in the church through their gratitude for the hospitality of the Brooklyn people during their stay in their midst. The association closed its convention last Friday at the Bridge Street A. M. Church in a blaze of glory, leaving behind an influence which, like the "odor of roses," lingers when the fair one vanishes. The establishment of the postoffice station in the Concord Baptist Church, in which the convention was held, was a unique feature, and a departure from the postal custom. The station was secured through Mrs. M. J. Zeno, whose far-sightedness is ever on the alert. The postmaster readily consented to Mrs. Zeno's request, equipped the postoffice with stationery, stamps, etc., and installed Mr. W. T. Jemmott as postmaster pro tem. So obliquely and affable postmaster with the soon be came popular with the deluxe and visitors. The postal service was both efficient and commendable. A vote of thanks was tendered Postmaster Roberts for his kindness and to Mr. Jemmott for his capability and politeness. This article would be incomplete without mention of the splendid meeting held last Thursday evening at the Baptist Temple. The spacious auditorium and galleries were packed and scores of students were invited to the literary program was rendered after which President Booker T. Washington gave a most practical talk along the line of work pursued by the women of this association Hon. William T. Vernon, Register of the United States Treasury, and the women of the accomplishments of the women of the and encouraged them to go on, saying there was never a brighter day for them. Mrs. B. K. Bruce was introduced to the audience and although indisposed, gave a brief talk which was much appreciated. While in Brooklyn the deleterious Warder Award Colored Orphan Asylum, the Orphan Manhattan, conducted by Miss Walt, and the settlement work of Brooklyn, all of which they enjoyed and expressed their gratification and satisfaction. The national officers visited the office of Miss I. L. Moorman, who has charge of the Brooklyn branch Metropolitan Real Estate Department, and with her accomplishments. Miss Moorman is one of the most successful and go-to-daily business sessions of Gustav New York, and enjoy the confidence of all who know her. The national officer, executive board and Legal Software League were the guest friday afternoon of Mrs. S. J. Gustafson F. Pritchard of Mrs. S. J. Gustafson F.

For many years the colored graduate nurses have felt it necessary to organize and form a national association. Miss Martin M. Franklin, graduate nurse of the Woman's Hospital, in Philadelphia, Pa, and own a private nurse in New Haven, Conn., made a call to the 450 colored graduate nurses in the United States. Fifty-nine enthusiastic women from the best hospitals of this country responded to the call and assembled at St. Mark's M. E. Church, 231 West 43rd street, on August 28, 26 and 27. "The program rendered was one that all may be proud of, and it has showed what a wonderful work is being done by the colored nurses throughout the United States. On the fraternal greetings were received by the nurses from the National Medical Association, which was in session at the Plaza Assembly Rooms, in East 53rd street. Wednesday morning Rev. Dr. Wm. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, made an address of welcome to the nurses. Some of his remarks regarding the profession were that the training of nurses means not only a livelihood to them, but a moral and mental uplifting of our young women. In the afternoon the president, Miss Franklin, introduced Miss Trent, president of the Lincoln Hospital Alma University, took charge of the program. Miss Hitchcock, of the Henry Street Settlement, invited him to visit the Settlement. Frid morning twenty-one of the nurses cepted Miss Hitchcock's invitation and spent a few hours in a very interesting and beneficial manner. The nurses perfected an organization Thursday, August 27, under the name of "National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses," with the following officers, who were installed by Miss C. Beaty, of Lincoln Hospital, New York; President, Miss Martha M. Franklin New Haven, Conn.; 1st vice-president, Miss Viola V. Symons, Mt. Vernon, O. 2d vice-president, Miss Edith M. Carter, New York; recording secretary, Miss Mary F. Clark, Richmond, Va.; corresponding secretary, Miss L. Viola Ford, Charleston, S. C.; treasurer, Miss Adah B. Samuels, New York; executive committee, Miss Gant, New York, chairman, Miss E. Davis, Norfolk, Va.; Miss M. Maria, New York; Mrs. H. Strickland, City of N. J.; Miss Rohne, Washington, City of N.

Tucker, Philadelphia, Pa.; auditing committee, chairman, Mrs. T. C. Russell, New York; Miss Clara M. Hains, New York. Many of the physicians not on the regular program delivered short addresses and greatly inspired us in this our first effort of combining and forming a foundation for greater work. The congregation adored Thunder The convention adjourned Thursday afternoon at 5 o'clock Penumbrae X, Y Mr. M. Loftoe, who has been very sick for the past eight weeks, is able to be out again. Mr. S. Birchmore, of New Haven, Conn., has been spending several days in our hospital. Mr. W. H. Hall, has returned to her home. Mr. and W. M. W. Garrett will start for the centennial celebration of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge, F. and A. M. Camerunwitsch, on September 8 at Ravenna. On Wednesday evening, September 8th the Programming Library connected with Bethel Church, Schenectady gvousen and Dunn street, will try to open the winter season of library, to young people of that visinity. This body has had a hard struggle for some time. The president, Mr. Charles H. Johnson, has exerted every possible effort to get the community interested, and notwithstanding the number of able speakers who have appeared the president has almost always had to present them to empty benches. It is said that the previous pastor, Mr. Coverials, did well to much encouragement to the work and before there threw a dimmer over the effort. Johnson thinks that owing to the fact that the new minister is in favor of the church, a new impetus will be given, and it is hoped that the work will meet with more favorable success. Down in the lower section of the City of Churches in the vicinity of Bridge street, Myrtle avenue, Prince street Fleet place and there about, in the last few years, the younger element of the Negro seems to have reached the lowest state of degeneracy. Their actions, their general appearance and demeanor are stilling to anyone passing through that district any evening between 10 o'clock and 1 o'clock a.m. M. For over twenty-five years Negro churches have been located with proximity to this district—Bridge Street, E. Church, Cordova Baptist Church Christ, Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion Church, St. Augustine's P. E. Church and Silicon Presbyterian Church. To these have been added in the last couple of years the Church of Christ and Temple of God and a settlement house. To one who has watched the course of events the question naturally arises: is the Negro church and its ministry pertinent to the work of crushing our civil war and blindly on without leading a hand toward the redemption of the sinful? That the churches have little influence in the community where they are located is unfortunately too true. To this can be fixed a reason. Each minister of these church institutions has been so lofty in his actions that he has thought it beneath his dignity to go out into the byways to gather in the fallen or to go on the hills to get the sheep which have strayed away from the gates of g. 1. The better he has no watchful and attentive shepherd们 have come from a distance, destroying one after another until the entire fold has almost been lost. Upon his arrival into this city from Augusta, Ga., Dr. A. R. Cooper, or Bridge Street Church, took up the work of trying to better the conditions in that section of the city. His novel plan worked well while it lasted. It has been looked upon by many with much regret that it did not last long enough, and many wonder why the revered gentleman gave the effort up. The doctor has his eyes on of getting to a man's heart. It was his job to go around the doors of the questionable resorts and catch a young man or woman who thought that all the world had forsaken them, and engage them in conversation. From them he gleaned much information, and to their surprise, when he had said many good things to them, he would say: "I am the pastor of Bridge Street Church, around the corner. Sunday evening I shall preach a sermon on the evils of such doings as your's and try to show you a better way of living. Come and hear me, and with a hearty hand, handshake their promise and bid them aden. By doing so many who had not seen the inside of this church for years were frequently sitting listening to the doctor expounding the Gospel, not in a scolding manner, as is characteristic of the more self-exalted, but in pleading terms, as the ancient apostles did and as Mary Anthony won the favor of the poplomia, after the murder of Cesar. This work had its good results. Of course in some cases the doctor employed more drastic measures and accustomed different results. But of the remaining burglar, the cloth little effort has been put forth to the march of iniquity or to stem the tide that is sweeping before it so many of the young and tender souls to eternal damnation. In no section of the city of Greater New York, surrounded by equally as many white churches, does such a condition prevail. The combined effort of the church actually inaugurates a way by which they can control the proper authorities and break up the evil or scatter it before the winds. Cannot the Negro clergy do as much? It is encouraging to note that in many of the residential sections of the city of Brooklyn young colored men are trying to get into the business mart. Recently one observes the Negro huckster with his horse and well-laden wagon appealing to you for your patronage, with fish, vegetables and fruit. In Fulton street near Ralph avenue, on Saturday evenings, the number of hucksters are about equally divided between the whites and the blacks. Last week John Hicks, one of the Weeksville boys, started a cane and hat business out all of his stock in trade each day. These young men will stick to the effort and that they will be encouraged by the cash of patronage of their people as well as all others. Coal, wood and ice is also a good business. Italians made money at is, why not you? The women of the National Association had a small-sized convention last Sunday afternoon in the auditorium of the White Rose Home. The hall was filled to, overflowing with the friends of the institution and visitors from the convention. Among those present and who took part in the program were: Elizabeth C. Carter, of New-Bedford, Michigan; Mitch B. Ford, of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs; Miss Roberta Dumbar, organizer of the Northeastern Federation, an organization made up of ninety clubs comprising a membership of four thousand women; Mrs. E. Lindsay Davis, president of the Phyllis Wheatley Women's Club of Chicago, and for- and after-commissioner of the Ninth Association, Mrs. I. C. Lansing, the able treasurer of the National Federation; Mrs. M. Crawshaw-Simpson, chairman of the executive committee of the Northeastern; Mrs. Ida Joyce Jarbock of Pembroke, Ky, and Mike K. Georgianville, Wichita, or St. Louis, Mo. The object of the meeting was to give the friends and inmates of the home an opportunity to move and hear the women who have been prominent in the work of the congregation, which came to a stand on Friday. It thought that some account of the work which women all over this land are engaged in doing, from the lips of others themselves, would bring inspiration to the lives of other women. Judging from attention and hearty enthusiasm, it did. Mrs. Davis recounted the struggles of the women of Chicago to get hold of the working girls who came from the South to that city; to help them by getting positions for them in respectable families and to lift their lives up to a higher standard in the Christian womenshood. She told of the efforts of the women of the Phyllis Wheeler Club to purchase a home in which they might more effectively carry on the kind of work that is being done here by White Rose Working Girls' Home, and told of their ultimate success and the immense service which the home in Chicago had been able to render in the work of social betternment. Mrs. Jackson, of Frankfort, Ky., told of the work which the women of Kentucky and of Colorado, where she once lived and voted, were doing along the lines. Her narrative took strong hold of the audience and some of its incidents were meeting that many were almost moved to tears. The work in Kentucky seems to be animated by a truly Christian spirit of devotion and self-sacrifice. The address of Mrs. Simpson was embellished by a digression into the present political field. She had a word for the men in connection with their duty as voters and an earnest admonition to them to have both courage and con- trol. Then she gave a spirited account, full of hope and cheer, of the work as it was in section and State, and the hearty, gentle good-nature of the speaker gave an additional enjoyment to the listeners. Miss Carter, the new president of the National, has also been president of the Northeastern Federation, in fact she has held successively every office in the gift of that body. She spoke of the work of that federation, explaining the workings of its various departments, urging upon all the women of the National body the need of an interchange of ideas and plans, and showing how this might be effected in describing for each other's federation papers. All the addresses were valuable and helpful. Every one was invited to say something, yet nothing that was said was trivial. The program was interpersed with music, vocal and instrumental. The Rev. J. C. Fernandez, pastor of Union M.E. Church, assisted at the piano and contributed several solos. Miss Hilda Kilda, friend of the Home from West Indies, also accompanied music, and Miss S. L. Moore, Brooklyn's popular singer and bushwoman, rendered a solo that was a treat to all. Mrs. Marie Jackson Stuart, one of the foremost dramatic readers of Brooklyn, gave a pathetic recital, "The Striking of the Rock," at the very urgent request of many who wished to hear her, and received an enthusiastic ovation. Mme. Hattie Rudd, of the Union A. M. church, rendered a vocal solo of high excellence, and Mr. H. H. Harrison made an expressive of the high appreciation which the men had of the work which the women were doing. The meeting was presided over by Mrs. F. R. Keyser, whose address of welcome to the delegates (in place of Mrs. Wiley) put "sweetness and light" into the second day's session of the convention. All together, it was a meeting of which the Negro womanhood of the nation may be justly proud. Madison, N. J. MADISON, Sept. 25—At the A. M. E. Church Thursday, September 3, there was a rainbow supper with many attractions such as "Rebecca at the Well," and also a ride in the Garden of Eden, and also a ride in several contests. An excellent program was rendered by Mrs. Lillian M. Wyhoff for the benefit of the church building fund. Mrs. Mary Sheppard and the Miss Sheppard last Friday with friends in New York. Mrs. Mary Williams, of Waverly Place, was taken suddenly ill last week. Mr. Frederick Harrison, of Orange, was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. James Larkin, of New York.

The 100 acres which the board of directors of the Mt. Tahir Manual Training and Industrial School has purchased for school work. The school was opened for a Summer course in agricultural instruction early in July. The regular course was held in the fall. During the Summer we have entertained groups of children from New York City under the patronage of the New York College "Fresh Air Fund" of which Rachel Dole is manager. It has been a great treat to these children to enjoy a visit to two weeks here, breathing the fresh and increasing air of this island, eating fresh fruit and own gardens and drinking fresh and pure milk from our cows. We hope to make this beautiful farm a fresh air home" for New York children. We have entertained them this summer in groups of twenty but we hope to have groups of fifty next year.

"The Republican platform offers to these amendments to the constitution that were passed by the Republican party for the protection of the Negros. The Negros in the forty years before the deal was made in remarkable progress. We are becoming a more and more valuable member of the committee in which he lives. The education of the Negro is not a question of the policy and is improved in every way. The best men of both races, in the North we will as at the South, ought to rejuce to me growing up among the Southern people in the present age of age. We are the only people who are the most hard struggle for industrial independence and answered political status. The Republican's uniform adopted at Chicago explicitly denounced justice for all measures. The president said the only one of all theवापस and just to explicitly declare for the enforcement, and without reservation, to letter and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifthly amendment to the bill of law. We need to state that I薄切 with my party, equally on that pink: in the platform, and believe that equal justice to all men, and the fair and impartial enforcement of the law and the law of the state in the form of the real America spirit of fair play." Judge Williams H. Taft in his speech of acceptance. THREE SIGNIFICANT AND POTENT CONVENTIONS. As one of the speakers remarked at the Washington Grove meeting a few days ago, that after forty years of freedom a race that could bring, together such a set of men and women as recently composed the Business League meeting in Baltimore, the Negro Doctors' Convention, together with the Negro Trained Nurses' Convention and the Women's National Convention, the last three held in New York, it is significant and encouraging indeed. What other race can present such evidences of real growth? These meetings emphasize the fact that the race is united on all essentials; these meetings show that we are making tremendous strides; these meetings show that no one should get discouraged. INFLICT THE PUNISHMENT THIS whole country is looking for Springfield, Ill., to punish the men who murdered innocent men and women. It is not a test of justice in this country to fine a fighter or imprison a burglar. That does not amount to a hill of heane, for it is a very easy thing to do. But when it comes to asserting the majesty of the law in the face of a mob, and to declare that the rioter who kills a man has no exemption over the midnight assassin, then we approach a duty of the State that challenges its very right to live. Coming down to the real facts, that community is responsible for every drop of blood that was spilled and every cent's worth of property that was destroyed. A man who belongs to society must be protected in his rights and opportunities by that society, whose arm is the government. This is the theory of republics. So it is going to be a very interesting question whether or not Springfield will be true to the doctrines of civilization. That is the issue squarely in front now. CURRENCY THAT IS REDUNDANT Attention has been called to the plethora of idle currency lying in bank vaults throughout the country, and particularly here in New York, and its effect upon stock market operations. While not as immediately disastrous as the sharp currency famine of last autumn, this redundancy of money is, in its way, almost as dangerous. This money is not wealth; it is not capital. Composed of demand notes issued by banks, it adds no more to the real wealth of the nation than would a flood of farm mortgages. Existing thus in excess of legitimate demands of industry and commerce, it serves no better purpose than a temptation to engage in speculation or in enterprise of more than doubtful utility. Herein is particularly explained the very considerable rise of stocks. The return of the stock market to a price level not much below the highest point of last year does not represent a rise in the earning power of the railroads and great industrial corporations, but rather a rapid decline in the earning power of money mixed with optimism for the future. WOMAN SUFFRAGE The question of woman suffrage has been voted upon three times in Oregon, which is a State of rather radical tendencies. At the first vote, which was in 1900, the majority against it was 2.137; at the next, in 1906, it was 10,173 and at the recent election in June last, it was 21.812. So it will be observed, the majority against it is constantly on the increase. Without expressing any opinioip upon the merits of the subject, and only referring to indications, it does, seem that the women shall not vote. One reason for this, and it is a prominent reason among men, is that the women as a class do not want the right. Of course, it is objected that this is not a good reason, and it may not be, but it is a company of men who discuss this matter among themselves, and this fact always occupies the very front of the reasons assigned by men for their objections to woman suffrage. We speak of this to show where the missionary territory is, and to, whom the argument must be addressed. We suspect that there are hundreds of thousands of men who would vote for woman suffrage if their wives asked them to. But they don't do it. In reference to the result in Oregon, it is said that the strength of the opposition was largely due to the efforts of women who are organized to defeat the proposition, which simply confirms the opinion held by men that women, themselves, do not want suffrage. THE SPRINGFIELD RIOT AND THE SOUTHERN PRESS. Of all the editorials that have been written on the Springfield riot the one in the Augusta (Georgia) Chronicle is the strongest and most sensible. In a word the Chronicle advocates as a cure for riots the lifting up through education and otherwise all of the depraved and immoral charges of both races. Secondly, the enforcement of the law. These are the only two forces which will eventually rid our country of mobs and the results of mobs. Not only the white race but our own race, especially the ministers and teachers, have a great responsibility in this work. Through our votes we should stand by the officials who enforce the law. The only way to get rid of mobs is to use the strong arm of the law. If it becomes necessary to use bullets, bullets should be used unsparingly and unlinchingly. BEST OF BODY AND MIND. If you have not taken a few days in which to thoroughly rest body and mind this summer you should do so at once; get out into the woods, on the water, get back to nature for a few days, throw aside work and care; it will be worth dollars in the fall and winter because of the better work you will be fitted to OUR DOCTORS The meeting of the Negro doctors in New York recently brought to our city many of the most eminent and successful doctors in the race. Many of them have a national reputation. They conducted themselves well and made a good impression. LOST! LOST! Lost somewhere between Niagara Falls and Atlanta, Ga., "The Niagara Movement." If any one can find it he will be liberally rewarded if he will deliver it to Professor Kelly Miller, of Washington, or Mr. A. H. Grimke, of Washington and Boston. Out in Chicago there is a strenuous contest as to who shall head the Negro Bureau, if one is formed. Men who were loudest and most prominent in their bitter denunciations and vile vituperations, of both Roosevelt and Taft are striving to get control, while men who were consistently for Mr. Taft, for the nomination are just as earnest in their efforts to defeat the aims of the Negro reactionaries. But will there be a Negro Bureau? There is a new book on the Civil War, and it is entitled "Lee and His Cause." The object of the book is to prove the South was right. This is rather late in the day to waste time and printer's ink on that proposition. 'Of course a man can argue that anything is so or not so, as he feels like it, but what's the use?' All the proposition that we need now bother with is that the war saved the Union and demolished slavery and that was right. Vardaman, who calls us venerated savages; Heflin, the father of "Jim Crowism" for Washington, D. C., desiring that Negroes should be separated from white people; Hoke Smith, who believes that Negroes are not entitled to rights or privileges; Ben Tillman, who likens Negroes to brutes, are still identified with the Democratic party and high up in its councils. Do Negroes desire to help strengthen the influence of these enemies of the race. If so the way to do it is to vote the Democratic ticket. Everybody push. Don't permit desire for personal gain and personal vanity to interfere with a concerted effort to achieve victory for the party. Let harmony, with a big "H," be the watchword. Speaking of the young women now impersonating "Salome" in New York Miss Marie Cahill refers to them as "pernicious subjects clothed in artistic atmosphere." And atmosphere is about all some of them are attired in, come to think of it. Mr. L. M. Hershaw, of Washington, attended the sessions of -the Business League in Baltimore and seemed much interested in the proceedings. Hon. Ralph Tyler, Judge Terrell, Hon. John C. Dancy, Governor P. S. B. Pinchback as well as others in the District of Columbia seem to be strong de- The people of both races of Baltimore in their preparation and in the carrying out of the arrangements for the entertainment of the National Negro Business League deserve the highest thanks. They fulfilled every promise they made and more. Every arrangement was carried out with a precision and thoroughness that was remarkable. It is humiliating to find Negroes so disloyal to the race as to advise men to vote the Democratic ticket. Up to this writing Bryan adheres to his Cooper Union speech that the Negro should be disfranchised. Manhood rights mean to certain Negroes taking orders from white men. Two Extremes The man who is saying the most foolish things in politics at this time is Joseph Medill Patterson, of Chicago, white. The man who is saying the wisest things in politics at this time is Booker T. Washington, of Alabama, a Syracuse Mr. Booker Booker T. Washington shows that the future of the men of his race depends upon education, industry and integrity. —Brooklyn Engle. The Colored Brothers We would counsel the Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron, who is organizing from Washington the "National Negro American Political League," in reprisal of President Roosevelt's action upon the Brownsville affair, and Bishop Henry McCormick, our president, to study attentively our neighbor. The World's "Maps of Bryanism." The colored leaders will see in the World's successive maps of 1896, 1900 and November 14, 1907, when Mr. Bryan announced his third candidacy, that the white or Democratic divisions had then shrunk alarmingly to but thirteen percent of the South. The prevailing constituency, on which Mr. Bryan implicitly relies, subscribes passionately to Mr. Roosevelt's Browniesville order. Quite as passionately it requires that its candidate, if elected, shall not recognize Negroes in appointments to office. For the sake of his constituency Mr. Bryan stopped adopting the Government ownership of the school with the "Jim Crow" cars in the South. When asked by The Baltimore Sun whether, as reported, he had assured Bishop Walters of the African Methodist Episcopal Church that he regarded Mr. Roosevelt's action in the Browniesville case unjust, and that he would make Negro appointments to office. Mr. Bryan hastily telegraphed this Report not true. I have refused to discuss Brownsville case, and have not discussed appointment of Negroes. W. J. BRYAN What can the colored voters expect of Mr. Bryan, whose electoral votes are in the South?—New York Times. Mr. Dodson Makes Draft! To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE: Dear Sir—Under "Here and There" in last week's issue of your valuable paper you stated that you had learned from a most reliable source that I, having represented THE ACE in religious circles for years, have now undertaken to straddle. If I had only represented THE ACE in religious circles, I have no objection to make for losing the reason that I not assumed of the gospel of Jesus Christ, nor the long and notable career of THE ACE as a fearless champion of the manhood rights of my race. Some people regard religion as a superstition. They look down upon those who give religion a definite place in their thought and lives with contempt. I have represented The Ace in defending its good man against gainers' those who say its news is stale and that it is not worth the price asked for it. I have never been guilty of doing an unmany act against its course or policy, whether I thought it was right or wrong. Therefore, you have done me cruel injustice as one of your staff of the church. I have no my name before the public in this connection without giving the source of your information. You told me that Mr. Pierre Beno, of 170 Willoughby street, Brooklyn, (my next door neighbor) called at your office and informed you that I had called on his wife (who subscribes for THE Ace through me) and advised her to drop THE Ace and take the Brooklyn Eye, the paper in question. This I emphatically deny and so does Mrs. Zeno. It is true that I am interested in all good movements for the benefit of my race and that I am willing to stand and wherever I can do good—I am do this without trying to injure the business interests of my fellowmen or falsifying any business obligations previously entered into. Oh. no, Mr. Editor, I am not trying to boycott THE Ace I am still with THE Ace note, as I have been for the past fourteen years. I shall continue to seek its interest, defend its good name and commend it as worthy of support, all other false and malicious accusations by disgruntled politicians to the contrary notwithstanding. NATHANIEL B. Donson CAUSED MANY DRY VOTES. Negro Orator Has Turned States in Local Option Fights in South. Brisbane, VA., August 31—Robert E. Clay, a bishop Negro, is in demand as a candidate for the local option contests. He has spoken in nearly every contest in Virginia and Kentucky and other Southern States for several years. He spoke during the recent contest at Georgetown, Ky., which is the home of large breweries and which went wet by one majority. To his efforts in lining up the Negroes for the prohibition cause the temperance victory at Charlestonville Va., he has a negro's large strife. When he went there the Negroes were nine-tenths for liquor. It was estimated after the election that the majority for prohibition was almost that great. He is a disciple of Booker T. Washington. WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY We all explore the disgrace brought upon the State of Illinois by the worst class of our white civilization. The reason for our cooperation at Springfield last week was a disgrace to our American civilization—Philadelphia Courant. Responsibility for the wholesale slaughter of the lowly and weak peoples of the earth, like the Jews of Russia and the Negroes of this country rests somewhere. Who will stand up in the judgment and say, I am clear of the blood of all men? Had there been the proper teaching by parents, pulpit and the press we think atrocities like that at Russellville and Springfield, Ill., we have occurred. The pulpit and the daily press are powerful factors in molding public opinion of American pulpit and the press would do their full duty the lynchings parties and mob rule would soon be wiped out of existence. What shall the Christian people of this country do to rid our land of this heathenish practice?—Danville (Ky.)-Torchlight. If it is not hatred then what is it that causes the mob to destroy the property of the innocent? If they were only bent upon doling out—what they term—just punishment for crime, and the culprit was all that they claimed in the name of justice, then why apply the torch indiscriminately, burning right and left, no difference whose property should be met by the very blind fury should be met by the very blind fury stand of the law, and there should be no quibbling as to the punishment meted out to the perpetrators. We hope that none of the Negro residents of Springfield will allow the recent disturbances to drive them away from the homes that they have purchased in the oil years. But will have the courage to face all the belief that the better conscience of the people may awaken to the fact that every citizen should and must be protected in the sacredness of the ownership of property.-Los Angeles Age. The recent race riot at Springfield is to be deplored for many reasons. It shows that the Northern man at long range would pose as the black man's friend, but where conditions are different, when in fact he finds us a competitor, when he finds further that there is a base weakness about some Afri; he shows a double degree of impatience and would exterminate him. We have no sympathy for one who commits an unholy act, be he black or white, and we persons should have the benefit of the man who man avoid such? Why should honest man lose their lives when, so far as they are concerned, there is no just cause? Why not the guilty only suffer? True, it seems the world grows more incensed over a wrong committed by a black man than it does if by any other kind but that is a greater reason for orderly conduct on our part. If our brother at Springfield will come to the Delta, and will promise to live orderly we promise him a quiet home with golden opportunities for the thrifty.-Greenville (Miss.) Blade. --- In this country there are a great many white people, both North and South, who are jealous of the Negro's advancement and progress and they think they better themselves and destroy the Negro, when they assert their power and run rough shod over the Negro because he is not physically able to protect himself. Do the thoughtful white people of Onancock, Va. believe now that they have gained anything by their treatment of their Negro fellow citizens? Already the thoughtful men of Springfield, Ill., are attempting to make sure that no one can injustice done him by the white mob, and they feel ashamed of themselves that there are white men in a white man's country who fear and are jealous of Negro's opposition in anything. Negroes all over the country are beginning to ask where will it come next. —Newport News Star. We have during the past week witnessed a number of those outbreaks against law and order, which have become all too frequent in this country; and which, if not soon blotted out by the stern hands of the law is likely to become a national disgrace. Cities and towns are thrown on the slightest pretext into a state of anarchy, there being no regard for life and property, most especially if it happens to be a Negro's life or property, let him be guilty or innocent. This state of things is known from town Springfield, which was the outcome of competition between white and Negro labor. It was allowed to disgrace the name of the city that was the home of the great emancipator. Abraham Lincoln—Hampton (Va.) Fishermen's Net. While it has developed that one of the ringleaders of the mob was a Russian Jew huckster, but a few 7 months in the city, another a notorious woman, and much of the rabble the low and vicious element, yet the fact remains that whenever a colored-man commits a crime, or is charged with the same, no effort is required to get together a crowd which seems to delight to act as both judge and jury. Whether it is just race prejudice or envy of his progress and advancement and his steps toward manhood, we cannot say. In this particular case, according to the Prohibition Presidential candidate, who fearlessly saved the life of a colored man at the risk of his own, whiskey had much to do with it. But, be that as it may, there were many contributing factors that led to the Nigro, and the low and cowardly, fable, many of whom were mere lads, chafing under the restraint of the law, seized upon the opportunity to wreak destruction. They were successful, but what an awful price to pay. The lives lost, the homes wrecked, and the debt placed upon the city are as nothing to the loss of its good name and the stigma placed upon the State and a civilization that belongs to a country that claims a place among the most enlightened. Poor Springfield, thy troubles are not yet over, and the eyes of the world are upon you to see whether you will be able to enforce the law and maintain its supremacy, and herculean in the task—San Francisco Western Outlook. When that band of cowards" murderers, thugs, and cut-throats in Springfield, Ill., the other day sendily attempted to take the law into their own hands, in order, they claim, to avenge a real or supposed assault committed by a Negro man upon a white woman, they then and there became anarchists and outlaws, and if the authorities had done their duty they would have filled their carcasses with cold lead the same as they would have treated any other outlaw. If this had been done, the home the emancipator would have been saved the inflation and disgrace that now hangs, like a ball. Any man who commits rape against him his punishment should be nothing for death, but let his innocence or guilt be established by law, and not by a bloodthirsty, crazed mob. The Negro has not lost faith in law, but along with that he must trust in God, but keep his powder dry, for he knows not the day, nor the hour, that a cowardly mob might delegate to themselves the rights to kill, rob and plunder your home. Be ye always ready—Portland Advocate. The latest Springfield has made American civilization seem like a barlesque and American courage a farce. The world at large does not applaud the manhood, or the lack of it, which lapses into worse than savage disorder on the clumsy, filthy and shallow pretext of "defending womanhood." Forsooth, as in the Springfield case, a prostitute is a fit object to defend womanhood. The facts of clandestine commining of white women and black men, white men and black women, make the timeworn excuse for mob reign and riot bosh and a mockery. The relation of the races as observed from behind the scenes is far more intimate than the unknowing imagine or than the newspapers, magazines and books print. The cause of mobs is cowardice; the effect of mobs is deminization; the remedy for mobs is indulges. "The native vigor of the soul must wholly disappear, under the steady influence and the demoralizing example of prodigate power and prosperous crime"—Cleveland journal. It is a matter of regret that few Southern white newspapers which we have read reporting the Springfield riots, have treated them other than in jest. The point of merriment seems to be the fact that Springfield is in the North. This is neither the American Christian spirit. The Dallas Express desires that the animal that assaulted the white lady at Springfield he brought to certain, speedy, justice, but it wants the decision by the court and not the mob. It would be in the same frame, of mind if the crime had been committed in Texas, without regard to the race or nation city of the criminal. To our mind this is the correct way to look at these disturbances. Mob law and anarchy are twin evils which its might and government must rise in its might and government must rise in the pair of giants who are growing stronger as the days go by. True, just now the down-trodden Negro, the despised African, is the principal victim of the mob, but time will show the mob's insatiate greed for blood will no longer be appeased and satisfied by the blood of the black man. Then will come the time when thoughtful men will be taxed to meet the awful conditions which can organize the lives and property of the rich and well as the humble and the lowly. Let us he wise and start now. Atlanta, Chicago, Cincinnati. New Orleans and Springfield are simply warning signals of what is to come ff the mob abettor and the anarchist are not rooted up—Dallas (Tex.) Express. The question arises who is responsible for these dasardly and fiendish acts which have been perpetrated upon these defenseless people? And how a stop to be put to such illegal and irresponsible proceedings? Will meetings held in Eastern and Northern cities have the effect of putting a stop to these outrages and illegal actions? Will appeals to irresponsible private associations in Europe conduce to help change this state of things? Can, the King of England or the Emperor of Germany interfere with the passing of laws by the United States Government? We put the interrogatories to show that relief, in the premise must come from the government of the United States itself or by Congress taking up the question of whether as to give the proper Federal authority to protect Negro American citizens from these lynchings so common and which have not been diminished by appeals to private association in Europe. These lynchings are fearful, and they ought to be stopped one way or the other.—Lexington (Ky.) Standard. The terrible scenes of rioting and mob violence transpiring last week at Springfield, Ill., the old home of Abraham Lincoln, the great emancipator, and within sight of the monument in memory, armish convincing proof that the national criminal crime has no direct connection with the political life of the country. Although the majority of such happenings have been in the South, the hourlong section has furnished no worse example than this one right in the heart of the North, and dealt a Republican Stat cadministration dealt with a desperate situation no more emphatically or successfully than did a Democratic administration in Georgia. It is plain that such outbreaks are the sudden and violent expressions of a latent hatred of the Negro nursed by a large portion of the Caucasian population, and held in check only by that great community interest founded upon public order and home security. That property owners are not largely represented in these mobs is evidenced by the mobs' readiness to destroy the property even of white men who oppose them, as well as their wanton destruction of the property, of innocent Negroes—Denver (Col.) Statesman. To the Editor of The New York Age, Regarding the activities of the Rev. Dr. Waldron, of Shiloh Baptist Church, Washington, D. C., formerly of the Bethel Baptist Church, Jacksonville, Ga., and of the Afro-American League, of which he is president, we, the colored people of the latter city feel that the zeal of Dr. Waldron and the League is unfortunate, in opportunity and misdirected, and that their excoriation of the Republican party and its candidate is exceedingly harmful. We—and I express the honest sentiment of the 'rank and file of the black South—believe that the eminent Doctor is paving the way to irreparable injury to the Negro not only of the South, but throughout the United States. We further feel that he is not actuated by any lofty purpose, but that rather he is laboring for some mysterious benefit to himself, as his management or mismanagement of affairs at his last charge, at Jacksonville. Fla., attests is his wont. And, in view of the fact that the latter affair is so green in memory of every churchman in Jacksonville, we cannot but believe that his advocacy of the Democratic party and Bryanism is highly hypocritical and deserving of the censure of every Negro in the country. Dr. Waldron in one of his sermons which appeared in several of the leading papers of the North, charges the Republican party with juggling with the Constitution. That statement we do not purpose to debate further than to note in passing that whatever rights the black man entitles were conferred upon him by and through the G. O. P. Whatever curtailment of rights he offers is inflicted by the Democratic Party, he would illify the whole of the work so heroically labored for by Sumner and other shining lights of the Republican party, are the ones for whom Dr. Waldron wants the Negro to show himself a fool and an ingrate. We further feel that with all the juggling to which the eminent doctor averts the Constitution has been subjected, it is nevertheless a remarkably grand chapter of liberty, and that there are no immediate signs of its being altered under a Republican regime, so as to render our confession intolerable, whereas, the tacit, yea, accusing the Negro, the tacit, yea, he counsels the Negro to align himself is to deprive him of many of his civil rights and of all his political rights; in the South this has actually been accomplished. The slogan of Dr. Waldron's party is to eliminate the black man from politics in toto. We of the South feel that so far as civic fortitude goes, we have the better part of it. We would that our brethren in the North would emulate us in considering the proposition that it is not given to any individual or sect to get all that they deserve, that the law is not designed to cure every ill, that because the law cannot remedy every evil, some thugga must be convicted of it. Last thing it is the veriest nonsense to advance the proposition that because of the discharge of the Negro soldiers of the Brownies mishap, the door of hope is slammed forever in the Negro's face. We of the South do not see it that way. Negro soldiers were dismissed, 'tis true, and probably mistakenly. But since that time no one has questioned his entrance to the army, and the gap left vacant by their discharge was filled up by Negroes. Then where comes the foundation for assuming and preaching the doctrine of the Negro's loss of lost? And when we recount the time-mentioned favors the Republican party has shown us, when we recall the fact that the Democratic party in the South raised a howl of protest against Gov. Johnson of Minnesota, because rumor had it that there was a Negro official in the State House at St. Paul—we find it difficult to see the star of hope that hangs over the Democratic party, beckoning the black man, "Look up, behold the morn." The Negroes of the South also feel that it is not reasonable to jeopardize the hopes, the noble aspirations of the entire race, the opposition to a vein not fully adjudicated. Again the Secretary of War is not Commander and Chief of the Army and Navy, and therefore, has not the authority to issue an order such as has been wrongfully attributed to Judge Taft, the erstwhile Secretary of War. We believe in fair play, and think that the responsibility for the order should attach to Mr. Roosevelt, who undoubtedly acted with the purest of motives. Dr. Waldron and his League, with whom this Negro of the South is neither in touch or sympathy, takes the high ground that the Republican party has eschewed the principles of Lincoln, Grant and Sumner. This assertion is far from true. Conceding for a moment that his contention is correct, we would ask, from whose principles has the Democratic, wing in the South departed? Waldron knows the principles of the Vardenman, Tillman and Holin—when who see no right of the black man when a white man is concerned; men who appeal to the lowest and most vulgar in a mistaken constituency, men who would compel the black man to accept fifty cents' worth for a dollar. The Negroes of the South share the lofty ideals of the world's economies: namely that the Republican platform, although not a consummate instrument—nothing mundane is perfect—bids for plain dealing and for the greatest benefit to the most people. The Negroes of the South feel that the Negroes of the North and West are the guardians of the few liberties they enjoy. They are entrusted with the duty of safe-guarding what remains by harmonious intercourse with the Republican party. Then if the Negroes of the North go to bartering with chance, and alienate the friendship of the party which is at least passively their friend, it will prove to be the "unkindest cut of all." If the truth must be told, the Degree of the South is more concerned just now about his constitutional rights than about corporations and predatory wrath; for if the former perish, that latter to him need not have existed. The convention may have seated "Lily, Whites," and that being mooted question, it need not be discussed at length, because it was a case on issue "Lily Whites or hardly any one from South Wales" in the local malady, but with Dr. Waldron's activity it must eventuate into a national one. No man in the South, white or black, believes that either Mr. Roosevelt or Judge Taft favors any propaganda looking to the political exorcism of the Negro. Mr. Roosevelt's conduct in office, his many support of colored appointees to office, over the stormy protests of opposers, his many moral attributes, indisputably how the intrigue of such a supposition has been recent utterances, and his generous treatment of Democratic principles—giving the word its literal meaning—prove the untenability of such an idea. On the other hand, the refusal of the Democratic convention at Denves to incorporate in its platform a single plank looking to equity for the Negro, the prominence of such men in its councils as Heilf, Vardaman, Tillman and Hoke Smith, men who abominate things black, except horses and articles white, the message of Mr. Bryan to Bishop Tyler, and discuss the Negro's status pro or on his speech at the Cooper Union Institute. New York, make it painfully true that his friends are not there. Again the Democratic party in the South does not want the Negro for any purpose, good, bad or indifferent. We cannot divide as do the Jew and the Irishman, for on which ever side they go, open arms welcome them; the Negro finds a genuine reception on but one side, and he should be pretty well acquainted with the proper side. The Republican forces are going to win. God grant. But should they lose the Negro will lose most heavily, whereas should they win despite his opposition, and should he then, in his dire distress, appeal to them, could they not in justice say, 'I asked you for bread and you gave me a stone?' WILLIAM P. HAMILTON. CUMBERLAND-ELY COPPER CO. Broker Taylor Says It Is One of the Most Attractive Purchases in Copper Market. In my article of last week I recommended to the readers of The Acu as a good investment the stock of the Mines, Company of America, which has paid to its stockholders millions of dollars in dividends. In this article I wish to call to the attention of our readers the Cumberland-Ely Copper Company, which was organized in 1905 under the laws of the State of Maine with a capital stock of $6,500,000, par $5. It has 498 acres of mineral land in Ely, Nevada. Although but a small portion of this land has been prospected, development work has uncovered about 4,000,000 tons of ore which averages about 45 pounds of copper to the ton. If we estimate the value of this ore at the present price of copper, which is about 13 cents per pound, the Cumberland-Ely has in sight $29,640,000 worth As this ore can be marketed at less than eight cents a pound, it represents a net value of $6,600,000 or one and a half times the entire capitalization. In addition to this vast tonnage of ore, the Cumberland-Ely owns jointly with the Nevada Consolidated Copper Company, the famous Steppee concentrating and smelting plant, the most modern and best equipped plant in the modern and best equipped plant in the present. This plant has a concentrating capacity of 4,000 tons daily and a smelting capacity of 200 tons daily. The Cumberland-Ely has enough ore to send to this smelter 1,000 tons daily, Sundays excepted, for thirteen years. Unlike most of the copper companies, the Cumberland-Ely is not only without a bonded indebtedness, but, according to its last annual report, it has a cash surplus of $1,077,243.47. At present the stock of the Cumberland-Ely is around $7.75 per share. The word has been passed around that this stock is to sell around $11 per share by Christmas. Whether this is true or not, I consider the Cumberland-Ely one of the most attractive purchases of any of the copper stocks on the market. With the resumption of activity in the copper market, I look see the Cumberland-Ely stock sell around $15 per share, and if copper goes to 20 cents a pound, there is no reason why the stock should not sell for at least $20 per share for every cent that is added to the price per pound of copper makes more valuable the Cumberland-Ely Copper Company by nearly $2,000.00. Q In my next article I shall tell of one of the most unique copper companies in the world. Every one who is interested in good investments should not fail to take Thur. Ace, as I shall continue this series of articles for several weeks. PYGMY CLIFF DWELLERS Tiny Roomed Houses Found by Ex- lent. Flipper in Mexico CHRISTIANA, Mexico, August 31—HENRY O. Flipper, an American archaeologist who has been searching in the Sierra Badres in the western part of this State for homes of cliff dwellers, has found a house on Caralato Creek, a library of the Rio Chico, containing eight rooms. There are two or three houses on the Rio Chico and two near Ganympa. Flipper says all are typical cliff dwellings similar to those in the United States. They are made of stone, with mud cement and plastering of mud. The roof is the overhanging cliff. The houses are from one to three stories in height, with walls about five inches wide. Mr. Flipper says the most remarkable thing was the tinyness of the rooms, which were about five by five feet, with doors about 21 inches high by 12 inches wide. He believes that the cliff dwellers were a very small people. Mr. Flipper was formerly a lieutenant in the United States Army. WASHINGTON, D. C., September 2. The election of Miss Cora B. Jackson as preceptress, in charge of the young women of Howard University, marks a new era in the relation of the young women to that well-known institution President Thirkield congratulates himself and the institution that he has secured such a thoroughly equipped and capable woman for this important work. Miss Jackson is a graduate of the University of Chicago. 'She taught, for some years in the schools of Indianapolis, and later in the Colored High and Training School at Baltimore. Dr. Waring commends her as one of the most influential and winning teachers the school has ever had. Her ideals as to the character and spirit of her work are well expressed in the following excerpt from her letter of acceptance: "I realize that there is no work which offers greater opportunities for serving the race or humanity than that of directing college women to the highest ideals in womanhood. "In my judgment, it is not rules and regulations as to what is right, but the power to do the right which his own conscience dictates, that every individual needs. With this thought in view, will be my constant endeavor to make the home life of the girls in the hall of such a nature that it will be a source of inspiration and strength in gaining these habits and ideals which we wish them to embody in their lives. It is Christian character in its highest and broadest sense that we wish to develop in our women. I shall strive earnestly with the co-operation of the young women "sometimes to find the best means to attain this end." Miss Jackson will also teach, in addition to her work as preceptress, thus getting a stronger hold on the intellectual life of the young women of Howard. She will have as her assistant in the care of the hall and the oversight of the physical and general life of the girls, her mother, Mrs. Jennie Jackson, who was with her through her college course in Chicago, University. The presence of such a capable, high-purposed woman insures the motherly care of the young women and young men at Howard in every hour of sickness or need. Mrs. Messer is continued as bousekeeper. Thirkield is also pleased to state that the contracts for the new steam heating plant, in connection with the new Freedom's Hospital, that is to heat all of the buildings of Howard University, were let on August 31. Work will be completed within sixty days. The stork visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. Sidney Pittman at Fairmount Heights, a few days ago and left a thriving ten-pound baby boy. The newcomer will bear the name of F. W. Grandchild, the first grandchild that has come into the life of Dr. Booker T. Washington and he is correspondently happy. Up to a few evenings ago all the public meetings held by colored voters had been under auspices opposed to the election of Judge Taft, but now a determination has been reached by the allies of the administration and by those who believe that the Republican party should be continued in power to hold frequent meetings hereafter and push on a comprehensive campaign of education. In pursuance with this policy a ratification meeting will be held at Madre's Park next Monday (Labor Day), under the auspices of the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, of which Rev. Simon P. W. Drew is pastor and president of the National Negro Taft League, which is being organized with branches in every state where the office is located. A barbecue will be given before the speaking, which is announced for 3 p. m. dr. Simon P. W. Drew will preside. Among the speakers invited are Dr. George W. Lee, Hon. John C. Dancy, Hon. William T. Vernon, Judge Robert H. Terrell, Editor W. Calvin Chase, Mr. John A. Lankford, Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, Dr. E. N. McDaniels, of New York; Rev. A. Willbanks and others of prominence in the Republican party, Dr. Drrew states that the National Negro Taft League represents at this time more than 1,000,000 negro votes to the talk of the vote will be cast for Taft and Sherman, in November. Register Vernon is spending a few days in New York and the East. Hon. Henry A. Rucker, Collector of Internal Revenue for the District of Georgia, is circulating among friends in the city.

Thompson, manager of the National Negro Press Bureau, has returned from New York, where he "covered" the convention of the National Medical Association for the New York Excelling Post and for his national Negro Press Syndicate. Judge Robert H. Terrell presided and introduced in turn the other speakers, among whom were President W. P. Thirkield, of Howard University; former Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, Recorder John C. Deney, Editor W. Calvin Chase, Archibald H. Grinke, Roscoe Conkling Bruce, Lawyer Thomas I. Lies, Register W. T. Vernon, Rev. A. Garner, Thomas J. Galloway and Prof. Kelly Miller. Upon call of Mr. Calloway subscriptions were taken and about $2.50 was realized in this manner. The proceeds of the day, amounting to upwards of $300, were donated by President Jeerson of the Independent Steamboat Company, bringing the sum up to over $300. The excursion and outing was under the general direction of Mr. W. Sidney Pittman, president of the 'Washington branch of the National Negro Business League'. Dr. Washington reached the city Monday afternoon and left at the close of the meeting for New York, where he will meet with members of the National Medical Association and the Federation of Colored Women in session there this week. A monster ratification meeting was held last 'Saturday night at True Reformers' Hall, under the aisles of the Empire State Republican Club, of which Walter A. Pinchback is president. There was great interest manifested in the gathering and the applause which greeted all the speakers indicated that Taft and Sherman have a strong hold upon the colored voters of the various States represented in this community. The star speech of the evening was delivered by Editor Roscoe Conkling. Simmons, of the New York National Review, who declared for the Republican party as the sheet-anchor of the rights of the race. He had stood loyally by Senator Foraker, but now that Judge Taft had been selected by the majority of the Senate, he cheerfully accepted the situation and took his place in the ranks of those who wished to give the nation the wise administration of the party of Lincoln, Grant and Charles Sumner. At the close of his eloquent address, the house rang with long and continuous cheers and he was compelled to repeatedly bow his acknowledgments. He was warmly congratulated by the leaders who occupied seats on the stage. Able speeches were also made by Register W. T. Vernon, Rey. George W. Kee, Hon. James C. Napier, of Nashville, Tenn., and Lawyer Thomas L. Jones, of this city. On the rostrum were Judge Robert I. Terrell, former P. S. Pincushion, E. Nalle Lent, R. E. Toomey, Editor W. Calvin Chapin, and Music by the band added rest to the occasion, and the first ratification of the Taft and Sherman ticket at the hands of the colored voters proved a success in every particular. The Empire State Republican Club is a young organization, but under the energetic direction of resident president Bucklack in his manifesto helpedfully and it bids fair to cut a wide swath in the approaching carnival. Rev. W. H. Coston has accepted the challenge of Rev. S. L. Corrortheas, pastor of the Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church and president of the executive committee of the Negro American Political League, to debate the question, "Resolved, that it is the duty of the Negro citizens to vote for the candidate of the Democratic party in the coming election." The time, place and conditions of the debate will be announced in the near future. The Commercial Appeal, of Memphis, Tenn., of recent date says: "William L. Houston, of Washington, D. C., Grand Master of the G. U. O. of O. F., in America, and Rev. E. P. Jones, Grand Master of Mississippi, were the guests of the Memphis lodge most well known of the Negro Old Fellows in the country, and their visit meant much to the local lodge. Upon their arrival they were met by a delegation headed by Grand Master Orr, who in a few well-chosen words welcomed them to the fraternal privileges of the city. In reply, Grand Master Houston said that he was more than pleased with his reception throughout the South, and that in his opinion there was no greater and more beneficial lodge on earth than that of the Odd Fellows of Mississippi. Dr. Jones, who is accompanying the grand master on tour of the South, is regarded by those in a position known as the next national grand master of the Order. After a stay of several hours in this city the party left for Holly Springs, Miss. Mr. Houston will be re-elected grand master at the meeting of the B. M. C. in Atlantic City, September 14 to 19.

Harry S Cummings to represent the State at the Negro fair to be held at Mobile, Ala., the last of November. This honor came to Mr. Cummings unsolicited, and is the first time a Negro has been appointed by a governor of Maryland to represent the State. Mr. Cummings is the leading attorney in this city, and also member of the City Council from the seventeenth ward. Entitled to the Full Protection of the Law There are, in round numbers, 9,500,600 Negroes in the United States. They are American citizens. They are entitled, in person and property, to the full protection of the laws. Furthermore, because of the condition of these people fifty years ago, we have made special provision in the Constitution to secure to them the equal protection of the laws. We have had for several years a clamorous agitation regarding equality before the law. We have been told that we must purse and punish some five or six men in New York and then equality before the law would be complete. We are now put to the test. Do these professions of devotion to equality before the law mean anything? We are put not to the minor and incidental test of proving that we can punish the lawless. We are put to the final and crucial test of proving whether we can protect the law-abiding.

Coleridge-Taylor wrote the following, headed "In Defense of the Negro": "The remarks on the Negro problem in America made by Mr. Walter C. Kelly (the Virginia judge) in a recent issue of 'Reynolds's,' present curiously one-sided view; I may say a distorted view, for it is that of the Southern, and therefore especially a prejudiced one, going much further than the ordi- THE*NEGRO PROBLEM IN AMERICA In this week's issue of THE AGE the writer, without comment, submits two articles for careful consideration. Walter C. Kelly, known on the stage as the "Virginia Judge," is responsible for one, and S. Coleridge-Taylor, composer of "Hiawatha," is the author of the other. Both articles are reproduced from Reynolda, which is one of the most widely-read publications in London, and deal with the Negro problem in America. They were written at the instance of the editor of Reynolda, and have occasioned no little discussion since publication. Walter C. Kelly it will be remembered refused to appear on the bill with Williams and Walker several years ago, and only last spring sought to prevent members of the white profession from appear at a brief period under management of George Cohan for the Newabys' Home because the two well-known comedians were advertised to head the bill. At the time the newsboys took exceptions to Kelly's actions and introduced resolutions to have him boycotted throughout the United States. Later he went to Europe, and while playing there wrote an article on "The Negro Problem in America." As but half of the writer's article deals strictly with the Negro, we will not publish it in its纯真. He prefers it to be followed. It is rather flattering to be asked to jot down a few notes about my own country for the benefit of English readers. I don't know that I can lay claim to any special knowledge of politics, which I take it, is the thing people like to know most about, but I have been an Alderman and stumped the country for Bryan in the 1896 election. That was before I went into the entertaining business. Does anyone suggest that I started then? Well, let pass. Anyhow, I will venture to put on paper, some observations about things American and English, as they strike me, just as they occur, without any pretension to logical arrangement or anything of that sort. "Another big problem, that my country has to tackle is that or the Negro. I was born and reared in Virginia, so that I know the nigger first hand, and there's one thing that must be accepted as a fact. He is inferior altogether to the white man. Nature has built him differently, and there's an end of it. I believe that every scientific man who has studied the question is of the same opinion. He may be taught to copy the white man, and in this way get some idea of sanitation. Left to himself he is hopeless, and would die out from the ravages of consumption. He has no sense of morals, and no white woman is safe with him. If you knew of the nameless crimes committed by black men, you wouldn't hold up your hands in pious horror at lynching. "In the North, the children of the men who fought to free him, are now the Negro's bitterest enemy. They ask indignantly, "Are these the creatures our fathers ought for? For the South Negro is the least understood the white population. In the North he is not; and that makes the dislike the more dangerous. This warfare of race cannot continue. The problem must be tackled. I believe the solution lies in erecting a Negro.State—there is more than sufficient territory available in Texas alone—where the blacks can live segregated from the whites. They should all be United States citizens, and elect representatives in the usual way. They should have the advantage of white men's advice and supervision, but constitute a community apart. Lincoln, I believe, was in favor of some such arrangement, and it is in that direction we must turn for a solution of this grave and pressing question." In compliance with a request by the editor of Reynolds to reply to Kelly's article, S.1 Coleridge-Taylor wrote the headline "In Defense of the Nervus". "The remarks on the Negro problem in America made by Mr. Walter C. Kelly (the Virginia judge) in a recent issue of 'Reynolds's,' present curiously one-sided view; I may say a distorted view, for it is that the South is more fortunate than prejudiced one, going much further than the ordinary white. "I should like to place before the readers of 'Reynolds,'s some other aspects of the question, for it has other aspects. Circumstances, if I may so phrase it, have given me special facilities for probing it.' And I may here take advantage of the opportunity to correct a mistake about myself which has gained currency. It has been stated again and again that I was born in the West Indies. This is not a case when I came to London in Red Lion street to be precise. My father was an African medical man, my mother English, and my whole surroundings and education, I need hardly add, have been English also. The Race Prejudice. "It is about five years since I paid my first visit to the States, when, it may be remembered, I conducted a series of concerts, and, if I may say so without immodesty, was very successful. The fact that I was English, and not American, seemed to do away with the race prejudice that does undoubtedly exist, and I was welcomed everywhere and received by the President precisely as if I had been entirely, instead of only partly, white. "However, I do not want to linger over these personal details, save in so far as they may explain why, during my visits to the States, my opportunities to juggle problem have been of an unusual kind. For I am freedly with both the white and black communities, getting a much more intimate knowledge of the latter than would have been possible to a white. And I assert confidently that, save perhaps so far as certain parts of the South may be concerned, Mr. Kelly's statements and opinions as to the Negro race are entirely misleading. "I myself have seen Negro communities, including highly educated ministers, lawyers, doctors, etc. I have visited their homes, and found them living in the same style, with the same comforts and elegancies as white men of the same financial standing. Of course, there is less wealth among the Negroes; but, class for class, their mode of living practically differs in no respect from that of the whites. "Negroes Love on Manite." "Negroes in lawmate mentioned my concerts. At Washington I think the audiences, very large ones, were about equally divided. "Wherever I went Negroes came to hear the music. That shows, even making allowance for racial sympathy, that the Negro likes and associates music. For it must be remembered my series of concerts were devoted to the best music, and it is scarcely conceivable that a race, so hopelessly inferior as Mr. Kelly makes them out to be, would be attracted by programs devoted to the great composers." In addition, it must not be forgotten that the prices of seats were fairly high. It argues, therefore, a fair standard of material possessions that so many Negroes, in different cities of the States, should have been able to pay to attend; as well as a fair standard of education and of artistic appreciation that they should have been willing to expend their money in this way. Somehow I am irresistibly reminded of the old fable of the wolf and the lamb by Mr. Kelly's way of looking at the Negro question. He doesn't say so in as many words, but he implies that the Negro is really a person who has made karikary devoted himself to the task of making things implentable for the white man. Whereas, as everybody knows, there never would have been a Negro question if the whites had not deliberately brought blacks, over from Africa for purposes of slavery. So that the question is entirely of their making, and they should bear the responsibility of their predecessors' misdeeds manfully, instead of whining about the Negro's double dose of original sin. "And, let me add here by way of parenthesis, it is extremely doubtful if America to-day would or could be in its present advanced and thriving position had it not been built up in the early days by black labor. To hear some men tell one would think the black man had forced him to the States; that he was an undesirable alien whom they would have kept out if, they could. 'Another Baseless Charge. "One of Mr. Kelly's main points, and that of other writers of his mode of thinking, is the immorality of the Negro. He says that no white women is safe when colored men are about. I say it is untrue. For many years it was precisely the reverse that was true. 'No black girl was safe with a white man about. Who fathered the thousands—nay, millions—of mulatos and quadroons that one meets on every side in the States.' Granted that the black woman of the city buys all of the superior race buy countless colored girls—some scarcely in their teens—not to work, but to become their paramours? "It is easy for the present-day white American to say that the Negro belongs to a different species. His forefathers should have given a thought to that before they condescended to mix with the "inferior" women so deliberately and systematically. For every white woman that had been colored by a male race that had been outraged by white men. The hundreds and thousands of mulattoes are a living proof of my statement, an accusing "cloud of witnesses." And are the morals of the white Americans as immunize that they can afford to throw stones at any other people on this score? Are not, their divorce courts the laughing stock of civilized Europe? And what about the revelations as to the debaucheries of their wealthy classes? Attention to Education. "Another of Mr. Kelly's points was that the Negro is indifferent to education; that he is not ready or willing to take advantage of the opportunities for self-improvement that are held out to him. Here, again, I am sorry to be compelled to retort with a direct negative! His statement is entirely incorrect. I have personally visited many of the schools in Washington and other Northern cities, and in these the attending students, and in the writing. I may be pardoned for quoting Dr. Booker Washington, the famous Negro educationist and orator, whose invitation to the White House caused so much excitement some time back. "In a speech-delivered before an audience of 6,000 Americans (at least three-quarters of whom were white a few weeks back in Cleveland, he said: 'Education has never been tested among the rank and file of our people to warrant any adverse judgment. And it is the white man's duty to look after the children of the black men who were brought to America in slavery.' "Anyhow, it is noteworthy that in the Northern States, where the Government allows the same educational advantages to both races, one hears nothing, or very little, of racial disturbances or lynchings, or things of that sort. On the contrary, as I have already noted, these towns contain scores of doctors, lawyers and other professional colored men, who can and do stand on the same level as white representatives of the same professions. Where the Trouble Lies. "The fact remains that it is in the South where the trouble mostly lies, and especially in those cities where there is a large percentage of illiterate whites. Again I quote Dr. Booker Washington: It is not fair to judge the Negro by the type met in the poetry by any one, but judge the whites by such types. I ask you to judge my race by the best, and not the worst, element." When Mr. Kelly complains that the Negro is an awful liar. When he is arrested for an offense he tells a story to escape the consequences, and sometimes, no doubt, that story is untrue. Very wrong, of course. But does Mr. Kelly expect me or anyone else to believe that lying on the part of the accused is a peculiarity of the black man? If so, he must be a good deal simpler than I take him to be. Most men, black or white lie to be. Most they can escape punishment thereby. "Perhaps, however, it is not so much the lying as the poor quality of it that has upset the "virginia judge" equanimity. 'The Negro is an awful liar, and being of inferior intellect, a poor liar.' Well, it is some concession to look forward to the development, thanks to education and intellectual development, he may deserve the commendation that he is a first-class liar, not unworthy in this matter, at least, to be ranked the equal of his white American brother. "Mr. Kelly goes on to say: 'The excuses he makes when brought before the judge are so putile that the relation of them makes an audience scream with laughter at what appears a joke. But the nigger means them in dead earnest, and can't realize that they're too thin to take in even a white infant.' Has it never struck Mr. Kelly as possible that a keen sense of humor may have something to do with it, too? For the Negro is humor itself. It may be that the uneducated Negro of the South is the dense creature represented; but certainly, if a Negro anywhere else told such amusing yarns as those of which Mr. Kelly gave a specimen, I should come quickly to the conclusion that the humor was deliberate and not unconscious. The success of the Negro humorists in the Williams and Walker Negro Opera Company at the Shaftesbury some few years back may illustrate my point. "When Mr. Kelly asserts that the colored races cannot stand by themselves, he stands on safer ground. That, I own, is quite true. When they govern themselves, there is often a faiso. But that is not to say they never will be capable anywhere of freedom and independence. Even the most primitive of the African races have certain laws, breakers of which are summarily dealt with. "Of one thing, however, I am confident. The colored people of America will never go to any 'settlement.' All such schemes are foredoomed to utter failure. The whites brought the blacks over. They did it with their eyes wide open, and they cannot get rid of them just to suit their own convenience. There are certain inexorable laws referring to all sins. The consequences must be borne. Slavery was a sin. And the consequence of it cannot be shirked. "Besides, where is the color line to begin or end? At least three-quarters of the colored population of the States are related by blood to the whites. They are cousins, nephews, nieces, grandsons and granddaughters. A fair-haired, blue-eyed quadroon girl will probably have a spotless white father or grandfather—I mean spotless as far as complexion is concerned. "The Tragedy of Color." "How many lynchers have unknowingly lynched some of their own blood relatives, I wonder? That is the 'tragedy of color,' as our great novelist, H. G. Wells, so aptly puts it. "In conclusion, let me say that I know too many beautiful colored homes, both in England and elsewhere, too many beautiful families, to despair of some ultimate and definite place for the Negro in the world's history." "God's in His Heaven—All's right with the world." OPEN IN "THE RED MOON." Cole and Johnson Give Initial Performance in Wilmington—Show Looks Good.

DEATH OF TONY PASTOR. Dean of Vaudeville Died Last Work After Liedergering, Ullem. Tony Pastor, known throughout the United, States as the dean of vaudville, died Wednesday evening, August 26, at his home in Kerry Cottage, Elmhurst, L. I., after a lingering illness. The cause of his death was weakness and a general physical breakdown. He first became ill August 14, and at times it was thought he would recover. Tony Pastor brought many a star to the front. In the list are Lillian Russell, Nat C. Goodwin, Denman Thompson, Weber and Fields, the Rogers Brothers, the Irwin Sisters (May and Fle), Neil Burgess and others. He was born in New York City, May 28, 1832, and made his first appearance in public at a temperance meeting singing comic duets with C. B. Woodruff. In the fall of 1846 he made his first appearance as a legitimate actor in Philadelphia. After becoming connected with numerous circus ventures and later as manager of a theatre in New York City in 1881 he opened a variety house on the Bowyer which he successfully managed until 1875. It was in 1881 when he leased the Germania Theatre on East Fourteenth street, which was called Tony Pastor's Theatre. This house was a big success until 1888, when it was destroyed by fire and the same year the present house was built. MORRIS AND THE WHITE RATS. Join Forces in Vaudeville War. To Control 100 Theaters. According to a high authority in vaudeville theatrical affairs the final papers are about to be signed that will effect a combination of the vaudeville interests dominated by William Morris and those dominated by William Office of the City called, which is in reality the association of player folk formerly known as the White Rats. The consolidation, it is said, contemplates the merging of interests and booking of vaudeville acts in more than a hundred theatres throughout the country, in opposition to the United Booking Offices, now organized under the name of the Allied Vaudeville Interests of America, whose chief mainstay is the firm of Klaw & Erlanger. A number of well-known artists have recently signed long-term contracts with the management of the new organization. Among the American artists and teams who are said to have cast in their lots with the Morris combine are Ross and Fenton, Jones and Deyo, Mabel Barrison, and Joseph Howard, Mlle. Bianca Froelich, the original Salome, and Clarice Vance. European acts secured for the new organization include those of Harry Lauder, Lawrence Irving, Vesta Victoria and Johnson and Dean. The United Booking Offices and William Morris have been in competition ever since Mr. Morris, relinquished the management of the booking offices installed by Klaw & Erlanger when that firm entered the vaudeville field. The most serious problem he had to deal with was that of procuring theatres. Mr. Morris said that he now has more than 100 houses in his circuit, including two in Manhattan, and ten more in the immediate vicinity of New York. Perhaps the most important announcement in this particular was the taking of the Moulin Rouge, which was taken charge of by Mr. Morris's representative, W. T. Grover, formerly of the Montauk Theatre and Grand Opera House, Brooklyn. When asked about the merger of his interests and those of the Independent Booking Office, Mr. Morris declined to deny or affirm that any deal had been made, but from another high source it was learned that the merger is already an accomplished fact, except for the settling of some minor details. It was said that the chief reason for the delay in signing the merger agreement between the Morris and Independent interests was owing to a dicker with the Comedy Club, another organization that is a major performers, whereby it is hoped that this organization may also become affiliated with the new combination. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS. Murphy and Francis are on the bill at Keith's, Boston, this week. Irving Jones is one of the hits at Freebody Park, Newport, this week.

The Memphis Students did not open at the Colonial Theatre Monday, but will play at the Fifth Avenue Theatre next week. Brown and Navaro opened their season this week in Lowell, Mass. Tom Brown won't see New York for some time, as he is booked out of town until Christmas. The act is booked solid for the season. Fiddler and Shelton are at Keith and Proctor's 128th Street Theatre this week. They are two western performers who are certainly making good in the East. William Copeland, formerly of Williams and Copeland, and Maude Jones are to appear in a new act next week at Atlantic Garden. -Slater and Williams have agreed to disagree and a new act has been formed by Bob Slater, to be known as Slater, Perrin and Crosby. They have been promised a nice bit of time. Harry Reed is with the Majestic Trio, which is booked over the Orpheum Circuit. The act was a strong attraction in Denver last week. It opens in Minneapolis next Monday. Joe Moore's New Orleans Minstrels have returned to New York after a very successful trip playing party time. The show closed in Albany Sunday. John Rucker is to open at the Family Theatre on 185th street next week with a large company to be known as Rucker's Minstrels. The company is rehearsing daily. The big act of Cooper and Robinson is no more. George W. Cooper has taken unto himself another partner, Charles Taylor, and the act will be known as Cooper and Roberts. The act is breaking in this week in Gloversville, N.Y. We wish him much success. Black and Jones write that they are doing well over the Orpheum circuit and holding good spots weekly. They are booked solid for six months. After they finish their Western trip they will return East to fill ten weeks of booking and then sail for England. They are in Omaha this week. The Dixie Serenaders are at the Grand Opera House, Syracuse, and are making good. Last week in Boston the act was a big hit. The Boston Herald in speaking of the act said: "Nothing else of theuro would properly characterize the concert and ragtime act of the Dixie Serenaders. A set of colored Thespians. Buck and wing dancing surely have met most capable exponents in this colored aggregation, and their finale, a mistrel front, was a contracted medley of genuine fun and Negro character bits." MARY GARDEN CLIMBS MOUNT BLANC. Maken Ascent in Two Days. In "Flare Shape for Salome." PARIS," September 2.—From Switzerland, where she went from Aix-les-Bains, the news has just reached Paris of Mary Garden's latest exploit in climbing Mont Blanc. Attired in men's clothes, the singer, accompanied by two guides, made the ascent in two days, stopping one night at Grands-Mullets, and pushing on at 2 the next morning. At the top she stayed only ten minutes, because, as she explained in a letter to a friend, it was 50 degrees below zero. For two days after," she wrote. "I felt solitude exhausted, and my eyes hurt me from the glare of the snow. But now I feel splendid, and my lungs seem twice as strong and in fine shape for 'Salome.' My climbing costume consisted of knickerbockers, with leggings up over the knees, and big boots with nails. Each weighed about ten pounds. Then a white sweater and bog cap entirely over my head, and gloves without fingers—they wear them that way, as the fingers are less likely to freeze. "It was the most delightful experience and emotion that I've had for a long time. You need a good head and a strong heart, but then one needs the same things in everything—to climb anywhere." Miss Garden reappears at the Opera here in "Romeo et Juliette" on Sept. 4, and is afterward to sing Ophelia in "Hamlet" for the first time. Assamal Claim Bake of Carlton Branch of Y. W. C. A.

Last Sunday afternoon every available space was occupied by a crowd of men who had come together to hear the program. Dr. W. H. Brooks and Dr. York Russell, members of the committee on management, were present. Dr. Brooks conducting the program. Addresses were made by Dr. W. H. Wilberforce president of Florida, Bartillie Collier Jacksonville, Fla.; Dr. H. Wilberforce Williams, of Chicago, and Mr. Ransom, organist of the A. M. E. Church in Boston. Mr. Collier exhorted the young men to have faith and to be a "stayer" in the field. Dr. Williams declared that the race must make sacrifices now in order to be better prepared for the struggles that are yet to come. The Missouri slang, said he, "you'll have to show me," cannot be applied in most cases, because many things must be striven with which cannot yet be seen. Mr. Ransom congratulated the organization on having the problem of the failure of Y. M. C. A. He had at one time been against the principles, he said, but he has since learned that these separate organizations are necessary to teach us the kindergarten of our future development.

McGhie, Administration of Law by Southern Democrats Violates Not Only Political, but Civil and Property Rights In an open letter addressed to Rev. J. Milton Waldron. President of the National Negro American Political League, Mr. J. I. Washington of Beaufort, S. C., takes issue with the addresses of Rev. Corrothers and Dr. Waldron, in which both of them not only criticise the administration of President Roosevelt but condemn the Republican party. The letter is in part as follows: "The Negro throughout the country and thousands of white men, Republicans and Democrats—disagree with the President in the discharge of the Negro soldiers on account of the Brownsville affair. But is it not a fact that every Democrat of any influence in the South (and many in the North) are in sympathy with the President and are contending that he was right in discharging them and stand ready to sustain him in his action? Is it not equally true that the only men who came forward and defended the discharged soldiers, and are contending for their rights, are men prominent in the Republican society. And is it not true also that, if these men ever get justice done to them it will be through the uniting efforts of men of the party which you so loudly denounce? Do you, as intelligent men, hope that relief will come to those soldiers through the election of William Jemings Bryan to the Presidency and the elevation of his party to power? In short, do you expect any member of Mr. Bryan's party to champion the cause of the Negro under any circumstances? You say "The Republican party of to-day is not what it was in the time of Lincoln," etc. Granted. But you must admit that so far as the Negro is concerned the Democratic party is the sam as it was since 1850. Its every effort with regard to the Negro has been to deprive him of his civil and political rights. From it every act of disfranchisement and "Jim Crowism" has emanated. And yet you, with brazen boldness, ask the Negro to assist in placing that party in complete control of the affairs of the Nation, that it may the better be able to carry out its Negro-hating policy and deprive him of the last vestige of his rights, civil and political. How ridiculous is your position! How evident it is that you are disgruntled because of some real or fancyed wrong, and are trying to use the Brownsville affair as the means to an end. "We admit that the Republican party has not done for the Negro what it could and should have done to protect him in his rights. But who has made that protection necessary? Is it not those who constitute the Democratic party, especially in the South? What States have enacted the hellish disfranchisement and humiliating "Jim Crow" laws? Are they not those States dominated and controlled by Mr. Bryan's party—the same which you would put in control of the National Government? Have you forgotten that it was a prominent Democrat who in the last Congress introduced a bill to establish "Jim Crowism" in the "District of Columbia, which would compel you and your running mate, the Rev. Corrothers, to ride in a "Jim Crow" car under the very shadow of the Nation's capitol? My information is that the measure was killed by the efforts of Republicans. The position you take indicates that you want Republicans voted out of power, so that Representative Heflin will be enabled to "Jim Crow" your Washington ministers. "Now tell us how by supporting the party that enacts these obnoxious laws, the Negroes can get relief from them? "Mr. Bryan, if elected, must be elected by the votes of those States which have disfranchised the Negro and have passed and are enforcig the very laws which you gentlemen are criticising the Republican party for not repealing or setting aside. Should he be elected do you think he will be fool enough to attempt to interfere with the laws of those States which elected him, forsooth because he received several thousand Negro votes in the North? Do you not know that the election of a Democratic President will embolden the Democrats in the South and they will at once enact laws more oppressive and humiliating to the Negro, not only in the Southern States, but in other sections of the country? "I live in South Carolina and have been living in the South all my life. My home is in a town where the Negro has much to do with the election of the municipal officers; in fact, these officers are all nominated in conventions four-fifths Negroes. As a lawyer I have been actively practising my profession in all the courts of the State since I was first admitted to the bar in 1887, and I am therefore in a position to know what I am talking about. It will be a cold day in August when by the Negro vote, a Democrat is elected President of these United States. "You do not represent the sentiments of the Negro in the South whose cause you presume to champion and you undertake too much when you advise the southern Negro to vote down the Republican party.' You say 'If the Negro votes solidly for Bryan in November they will administer a death blow to Southern disfranchisement and Jim Crowism.' Your reasoning is far-fetched. 'Disfranchisement and Jim Crowism are the bifurprings of Democracy, and as their parent. Democracy will foster them as best it can, which is most natural. Yet you argue that to place it in full control of affairs, thus providing it with the best means—power and authority—is to strike them a death blow! 'No, sir, you recommend a most dangerous remedy for the ill we, in the South, endure, and I am sure you do so because you are ignorant of the conditions. 'If not ignorant, then you must be moved by improper motives, for no man of your reputed intelligence could honestly express the views you do, with a knowledge of the facts before him. It may be information to you and your followers in the League to know the true conditions as they actually exist in South Carolina and the South. Doubtless you have read the laws and are well acquainted with them, and from that knowledge imagine you know it all. The intelligent Negroes in the South do not object so much to the law as laid down in the statutes, but he does object to the manner in which those laws are administered. This part of it you are totally ignorant of, or you never would presume to become our advisers. It would be a pleasure for me to give you an idea of the manner in which the laws of this State are administered, what gross discriminations are made against the Negro because he is a Negro. Not only as regards his political, but as to his civil and property rights as well. If it would interest you let me know and I will give you some very important facts, which I am sure would go far toward healing your backsliding, and bring you a penitent to the foot of the cross." VERNON SPEAKS IN NEW YORK. Addresses Veterans of San Juan Hill on National Insurer. A large and enthusiastic gathering of Negro Republicans turned out to hear the Hon. William T. Vernon, Register of the Treasury, deliver an address to the voters of the San Juan Hill district Parish Hall last Friday evening. Several prominent Republicans attended the meeting, which was presided ?emsoleneisaseuyl-leysdofh-eleye.steke.n000? 1945 HON. WILLIAM T. VERNON Register of the U. S. Treasury over by the Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue. Mr. Vernon, who was the principal speaker of the evening, addressed his hearers on national issues as follows: "Coming to you not only as a representative of the race but as one holding official position in Washington. I shall not hesitate to say those things which to my mind are best for the race and for the American Republic. "No administration in the last fifty years has accomplished more than the present administration. A glance at a few of its many achievements will convince all fair-minded men that this administration deserves the approval and endorsement of the people. "Malfaesance in office has been unearthed. The high positions of the malefactors did not give them immunity from punishment. The name of Theodore Roosevelt has become a terror to the grafters. The public service, both State and Federal has been improved. "A meat inspection law was passed and the stock yard cleaned." and the stock yards cleaned. "The character of the men appointed to public positions was never higher. " The secret state, chaling large shipping concerns to destroy their weekly competitors, has been abolished. " The Panama canal, purchased "The Panama Canal was purchased, and work on it vigorously pushed. "The people entered upon an era of government regulation of railways. "The army, consular and diplomatic service has been improved and reorganized. "Business depression and panic which periodically appear in the great industrial countries, resulting from over speculation and the diverting of large sums of money from the normal course of trade for war purposes, made its appearance last fall and was promptly checked by the timely intervention of the Secretary of the Treasury, acting under the advice of the President. "The insurrection in Cuba, which threatened American and foreign interest and which would have plunged the island into anarchy had it been allowed to proceed, was suppressed by the speedy action of the President by sending United States troops there, establishing a provisional government which is soon to leave the island once more free to work out its destiny. "Representative government has been projected in the Philippine Islands, and AGE—ELEVEN the education of the natives, preparing them for ultimate independence, is making satisfactory progress. "The farmer has progressed, and except in one or two industrial centers affected by the panic of last year, the man who labor with his hands. still find employment at remunerative wages. The mills are grinding everywhere. The furnace fires are lighted by day and night, and our manufacturers find an incomparable home market and an ever-increasing one abroad. The nation prosperst. "Our relations with foreign powers are full of peace. No war cloud hovers near our far-stretched horizon to mar the prospects of continued progress in the arts of peace nor to threaten with disaster our commercial relations with any part of the world. "Broadly viewed, the nation was never more firmly prosperous, with its prosperity resting upon a sound and healthy basis due very largely, to the crusade waged by the present administration against the watering of stock and other corrupt business practices. "Theodore Roosevelt took the scepter of leadership as it fell from the hands of the dead and illustrious McKinley, and has led the nation with courage and capacity to its present high place among the powers. "While doing all this the President has found the time not only to make appointments of colored men in the South, but in the North, East and West innovations have been made in the matter of appointments and representatives of the colored race have been appointed to high positions of honor under the Federal and State governments. "None of us can ever forget the persistence of President Roosevelt in standing by Collector Crum's appointment as Collector of the Charleston part, which aroused the organized resistance of the Democrats of the South, but the President stood by the man until he was finally confirmed by the Senate. "In the case of Mrs. Cox, postmastress at Indianola, Miss, the fight waged on the lady was so bitter that she was practically forced out of her office by 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100. the inhabitants of the town, her life being threatened. The President interfered, and as a rebuke to the people he ordered that the postflice at that place be closed. "These two and other incidents during the present administration cannot be forgotten by black men, and they testify with historic accuracy of the friendliness of the President for the colored people of the country. "The President further called the attention of the Interstate Commerce Commission to the fact that on many of the common carriers of the South the roads were not providing equal accommodations for colored passengers, and this matter is even now being considered by the commission and steps have been taken to remedy this inequality of accommodation. "Those guilty of peonage practice among our people have been relentlessly prosecuted, and, wherever possible, convictions have been secured. We cannot forget these efforts, and will not forget his work for our fullest enjoyment of all privileges vouchsafed by the Constitution. "As for Mr. Taft, I believe he represents the highest type of American manhood. Decended of a family of abolitionists, his father having as Attorney-General in President Grant's Cabinet rendered the race an inestimable service, this distinguished son of an illustrious sire is too great to be other than President of all the people. "His broad experience, his great accomplishments for our country, his fairness in dealing with the problems affecting all races, whether in America, the Philippines or Cuba, cause all fair-minded men to feel that the rights of all our citizens will be safe with him in the White House. "Associated with him on the Republican ticket is one of the great leaders of the party and foremost American citizen—Congressman Sherman. I believe that the American people will place both these men in the White House giving to them an overwhelming majority at the coming election. "I am pleased to have the opportunity to appear at this meeting and say a word in behalf of that friend of the Negro—Congressman Olcott. Living as I do in the District of Columbia; I realize the great favor done us by him when he fought successfully to defeat the effort to pass Jim Crow car law in our city of Washington. "We need such friends as he to defend us in these times. Re-nominate and re-elect him and thus show our gratitude to this brave champion of human rights."

HOLLAND, Grand Master A. W. HELMES, Grand Secretary Home Office: 210 WEST 57TH ST. NEW YORK NEWS OF ODD FELLOWS At a recent meeting of the del gation which represents the order in the entire States of New York, which constitutes fifty-two lodges with a total membership of over five thousand, it was unanimously decided to present W. David Brown as a candidate for grand treasurer and to use all honorable means to bring about his election. The meeting was a very enthusiastic one and Brother Brown was the unanimous choice of the delegation, many of whom had already been instructed by their respective lodges to vote and work for this worthy Odd Fellow. A noticeable feature is that the delegation is united. Heretofore it has not been an easy matter to unite the New York delegation, but in this case it has been, accomplished and the delegates should be congratulated for it. In union there is strength, and in the politics of the order it is necessary to have a united delegation to get results. This is particularly true of a State like New York, which has a large membership. Many of the Southern States with a large number of lodges, but with a smaller total membership than New York, have always succeeded in getting representation. Lack of union has been the cause of New York not having representation on the board. This time W. DAVID BROWN District Grand Secretary there will be no excuse—we are united. As New York State was the one in which the order started it should have representation on the managing and executive board of the order, and it presents ex-District Grand Secretary W. David Brown to bring back that honor to this great State. There are none more worthy or capable. He is a man of good executive ability, ripe experience and having a practical knowledge of the af-fair and needs of the order. He is a practi-fairs and needs of the order. He is a practical business man, conducting a decisive business in New York and in Newark, N. J. As an indication of the esteem and respect that the order in New York State holds for him the presentation of a past worshipful grand master gold jewel by the district grand lodge of the State of New York, at a regular meeting of Hamilton Lodge, No. 710, of which Brother Brown has been secretary for seventeen years, fully shows how he is regarded. The presentation was made by District Grand Master John C. Desverney, and speeches were made by ex-District Grand Master Edward Henry, District Grand Treasurer Thess Poole, District Grand Director W. F. Kingsland, District Grand Supervisor H. S. Pickenpack, District Grand Supervisor Harry J. Edwards and other distinguished members of the order in the State of New York. The presentation was the result of a motion made by District Grand Master Desverney at the last session of the District Grand Lodge, No. 2, of the State of New York, at the time Brother Brown retired from the office of District Grand Secretary. The district grand master was at his best in the presentation speech, and his praise of the worth, ability and faithfulness of Brother Brown brought forth much applause from the large number assembled. District Grand Secretary Charles S. Lewis presided and made an ideal presiding officer. The speeches of the District Grand Master Edward Henry and the other speakers were highly complimentary to Brother Brown. Supervisor H. S. Pickenpack was the chairma of the committee. Brother Brown's eply was modest and eloquent, interspersed with wit and humor and full of good advice. The program closed and all present were served to a fine collation that was prepared by Hamilton Lodge. This is the first time in the history of the order in this State that such a demonstration has been given an ex-D. G. officer. Brother James F. Adair, chairman of the New York delegation, informed the writer that he has received assurances of support for Brother Brown from all over the country, and the indications that he will go into the B. M. C. with a majority of the delegates pledged to support him for the office of grand treasurer. Another item in connection with the office of grand treasurer that should have weight, and that is that New York is near to Philadelphia, and economy should be considered as well as ability. Success and victory to the New York delegation and to W. David Brown. Commencing in October the editor of the O'Dell Fellow column will commence a detailed history of the various lodges of the State, giving their financial standing and other interesting data concerning which it will be interesting to note. The editor of The Ace has told us that the people are more interested in the work accomplished than in praise of some individual or individuals, unless they are doing things. It has been decided, by the chairman, for the New York delegation to leave for Atlantic City Sunday, September 13, by way of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The train will leave Jersey City at 10:55 a.m., fare for the round trip $5, good to return at any time. Private coaches have been secured for the delegation. The delegates are requested to meet at Jersey City Station not later than 9:30 Sunday morning. New York Patriarchie held its meeting on August 29. Quite a large number of members were present, including members from Mont Chair and the Oranges. Every one is enthusiastic over the coming pilgrimage to Atlantic City. From indications they will have about fifty-five swords in line for that great parade. Captain J. W. Williams expects great things from his boys. We suggest to the captain that if a certain brother is to carry the battle flag that he have an ambulance to follow their section, as it might be needed. Lieutenant-Coalition Alpineworth Speaks in Brooklyn The audience room was crowded beyond its seating capacity Sunday afternoon with men and women who came to hear Lieutenant Colonel Allen Allensworth, U. S. A., retired, of Los Angeles, Cal., tell the story of his life. The colonel's story of his boyhood days as a slave and his twenty years in the army was thrilling as it was filled with incidents of hardships and deed of daring. Colonel Allensworth has the distinction of being the only Negro who has spoken before the international education association upon a subject which did not relate particularly to the Negro race. It was back in 1892 and the subject was the "Rise and Progress of the Military Service in the United States." His salary (retired) is $3,475 per annum.

It was from Genesis 28:17. Pastor Brooke and his congregation are always glad to have Dr. Wallace with them. Sunday morning we heard a good sermon from our brother, T. R. Harper. The Sunday School convened at the usual hour, the attendance being very good. Dr. J. C. Brown, the highly-honored pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, of Flushing, N.

Large Crowd at Lecture: Large Crowd at Lecture. The illustrated lecture on "Christian Missions in Turkey," given by Mr. Garibedean, an Armenian student at Beth Spillah Moravian Mission, 63 West 134th street, proved a most instructive one. An audience that packed the hall to the doors greeted the tecturer, according him respectful attention. All were much impressed. The singing of a solo and quartette by young men, trained by the Rev. Martin, pastor, was well done, and deserves mention. Miss Harriett Thomas, organist, played splendidly, and showed a mastery of the instrument at her disposal that was gratifying. Among the notices for the ensuing week were Young Men's Class on Tuesday evening, prayer meeting on Wednesday evening, literary society meeting on Thursday evening, when a program of unusual merit will be given.

Washington, D. C. August 26 -- Dr. Booker T. Washington addressed a large audience Monday evening at Washington Park, in commemoration of "Dougless Day," which had been set apart as a supplementary outing for the entertainment of the delegates and visitors to the convention of the National Negro Business League, which had been in session last week at Baltimore and to raise funds to liquidate the mortgage on the old homestead of the "Great Commoner," with a view of converting it into a national memorial hall for the benefit of the colored people of the country. Dr. Washington was warmly greeted by the crowd that filled the pavilion. He spoke in the most eulogistic language of Douglass, declaring him to be the greatest man the Negro race has produced. He spoke of the good work which the Memorial Home Association had been doing and how fitting it would be to have at the capital of the nation a memorial to such a character, which would stand as a tribute to him from a grateful people. In his judgment, the Negroes should themselves, without any aid from the white people, raise the $3,500 necessary to pay off the indebtedness upon the magnificent estate.

The organization embraces the leading physicians, surgeons, dentists and pharmacists of the country. Nearly 300 are enrolled, representing twenty-nine States. The largest single delegation came from Washington, D. C. No gathering here in years has attracted more widespread attention nor evoked heartier encomiums. Thrift, industry, intelligence, substance and competence were indicated in their appearance, and their coming marked a distinct epoch in the professional life of this community. It is no small feat for any organization to make itself felt in a metropolis of four and a quarter million souls, and the fact that these scientific and human wonders the race secured such splendid recognition at the hands of the public officials, the press and citizens generally and made such a lasting impression, is the highest compliment that could be paid to them as vital forces in the work of racial redemption. Seddon Open at the Pineau. The opening session was held Tuesday morning at the elegant Plaza Assemblée Rooms, 110 East 29th street, with W. W. Johnson, the most esteemed member of the association, in the president, Dr. John A. Kenny, of Tuskegee, Ala., acting as secretary, Dr. P. Augustus Johnson, chairman of the local committee, gave the association a warm welcome and turned over to it the keys of the city. The president's annual address dealt with the growth and development of the organization in the ten years' of its history, and spoke for it an increasing degree of influence and larger sphere of activity in the future. The reports of the secretary, executive board, treasurer and other officers and committees were heard, and a healthy condition of affairs was indicated. Dr. Kenny's report showed that there are 1,017 Negro physicians in sixteen States, 168 drug officers in sixteen hospitals run by and for Negroes. He hurried through the things an endorsement by the association of the "horse" committee of 100 of the Aitacuan Health League, which is striving for the creation of a national health bureau at Washington. At the afternoon session the program embraced the following: Paper, "The Relation of Acute Intestinal Diseases to Lesions of the Liver," Dr. J. E. Hunter, Lexington, N.C.; discussion by George L. Chichester, paper by Gritis, "George Williams, Charlotte, N.C.; discussion by A. A. Wyche, Charlotte, N.C.; paper, "Minor Detail in Abdominal Surgery," W. H. Hughes, Richmond, Va.; discussion by H. E. Connor, Brookhaven, Miss.; paper, proprietary Preparation vs. Practical Pharmacology, E. Coleman, an energetic lady pharmacist and manufacturer of Newport, Va. Great Meeting at St. Mark's. In the evening an immense public meeting was held at St. Mark's M. E. Church, 53d street, near Eight avenue. Despite the inclement weather, more than 500 people attended the spacious auditorium to the doors and unable to gain admission. Handsomely attired ladies from every section of the country and tasteful decorations made the scene a vast picture of beauty and grace. The program was lengthy, but the audience remained throughout and joined enthusiastically in the spirit of the occasion. Dr. Gustavis Henderson, president of the Medico-Chirurgical Society of New York City, presided, and introduced the speakers most felicitously. Acting Mayor Mcowan Welcomes the : Hon. P. H. McGowan, acting for Mayor George B. McClellan, delivered a cordial address of welcome on behalf of the city government and the four and a quarter millions of dwellers in the nation's metropolis. As a trustee in the Pollinic Hospital of the City of New York, he had some knowledge of the value of those who practice the healing art, and the magnificent organization of physicians, surgeons, dentists and pharmacists and trained nurses as well, had his fullest sympathy and encouragement. He referred in complimentary terms to the wonderful progress that had been made by the colored people in this country, as evidenced by the prosperous, happy and substantial body of men and women in attendance upon these sessions, and applauded their patriotic love for America—in his opinion the country of Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, of Chicago, was dignified and impressive, and his tribute to the memory of the late General George B. McClellan, the father of New York's Mayor, praising his valorous service in defense of the Union and the freedom of the slave, was received with pronounced demonstrations of approval. A second address of welcome was delivered by Rev Walter H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's Church, and Dr George E. Cannon, of the Medico-Chirurgical Society of the City of York and of the City of Jersey Medical Association of C.V. Roman, one of the most prominent physicians, a former president of the National Association, and now filling the chair on diseases of the nose, ear and throat at Mehairy Medical School, at Nashville, Tenn., in response, presented one of the wittiest and most beautifully-worded addresses of the convention. Following Dr. Roman's eloquent发言, Dr. H. Stanton's spoke, and announcements of invitations to the various headquarters of the city was made by Mr. John J. Bell. Dr. Robert Reyburn, dean of the medical department of Howard University, was introduced and was recorded a heartfelt acceptance by the congregation of Robert Beyburn in the Civil War and was one of the active promoters of the Freedman's Bureau, which assisted Negro slaves to gain their freedom, and controlled fifty-six hospitals in aid of Union soldiers founded at the front. With General O. Smith, the first president in establishing Howard University for the higher education of the colored people, and founded therein, smid much opposition; a medical department for the training of colored men as physicians. He was a contemporary of Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth, and his story of the early struggles to secure a footing for the Negro in the medical profession during his more than fifty years of service. The Negro has had no stronger friend or champion than Dr. Reyburn. Mr. Augustus A. Haston rendered a baritone solo, "The Two Grenadiera," Dr. W. H. Wright, of Baltimore, and Dr. Charles F. Mereserve, president of Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C., made short talks of an informal character. The principal theme of the convention series was "Tuberculosis," and Dr. Richard A. Taylor, of this city, who led off with the formal discussion of the topic, dealt exhaustively with the branch touching the problem of "Tuberculosis; A DR. P. A. JOHNSON (Newly Elected President) National Medical Association Dr. P. A. JOHNSON (Newly Elected President) National Medical Association Clinical Problem of the Tenements," and in a supplementary treatment of the same subject, Dr. E. P. Roberts, also of New York, introduced practical suggestions looking to the checking of the ravages of the dread disease among the colored people especially. Dr. Taylor's suggestion that victims of tuberculosis be isolated in attractive institutions maintained at public expense, as a means of preventing the spread of the "white plague," met with general endorsement. The "White Plague" Hospital, Wednesday was "Clinic Day," and the delegates gathered as a body at Lincoln Hospital, one of New York's most famous institutions, located at 141st street and Southern boulevard. The exercises began at 9 a.m. and continued until late in the afternoon. An operation of unusual importance, involving a new system of abdominal surgery, and illustrating the use of modern surgical instruments and appliances, was performed by Dr. A. M. Curtis, of Washington, D. C., formerly surgeon-in-chief of Freedmen's Hospital several years ago. Dr. Williams handled two doctoral candidates, was followed by Dr. George C. Hall, of Chicago, and Dr. J. E. Hunter, of Lexington, Ky, who gave some valuable experiments in major surgery and afforded an opportunity for profitable investigation on the part of the profession and the laity in attendance. At the Plaza the following program was carried out in the afternoon, with Dr. John R. Francis, one of Washington's most noted practitioners, in the chair. It may be remarked, parenthetically, that Dr. Francis proved to be one of the most informing factors in the development of sound films, easing clear in work, improving problems and gave President Wright much valuable assistance at critical moments. The program was as follows: Paper, "Obstetrics and Some Obstetrical Problems," Dr. H. F. Gamble, Charleston, W. Va. Discussion by J. J. France, Portsmouth, Va. Paper, "The Treatment of Inguinal Adenitis," Robert J. Abele, Philadelphia, Pa. Discussion by C. L. Carter, Harrisburg, Pa. Paper, "Experimental Surgery," A. M. Brown, Birmingham, Ala. Discussion by Wilfs E. Sterrs, of Decatur, Ala. Paper. A Plea for Suggestive Therapy. W. J. Parks, Asbury Park, N. J. Discussion by W. W. Wolfe, Newark, N. J. Dr. Brown Precipitates Lively Debate. Dr. A. M. Brown of Birmingham, in which nearly every physician participated, by advocating the somewhat startling and unusual policy of utilizing the vivification of criminals condemned to death as subjects for surgical experimentation. Dr. Brown's paper, which was the storm-center of the most exciting discussion of the convention, made the argument that where it is necessary for a criminal to die his death should be made to contribute to science by the creation of surrogates to State laws. He held that too long had depended upon experimental operation on charity patients. "Consign those condemned to death to the prison hospital, to the operating table, to aside the relic of barbarism, the gallows and the more modern electric chair, each of which, without benefit to any community, simply wreaks vengeance upon its victims. Both have long ago lost their savior in producing the desired effect for which they were originally intended." Dr. Brown favored, the appointment of a staff of surgeons, "whose material for the advancement of civilization and surgical science would come through the law of the land in the form of criminals, why, by this method of extreme punishment, would not expiate crime without serving the real purpose for which such an ignominious death was intended—that of deterring others." Women's Federation Sweeting gives. A pleasing diversion was wasted of a delegation charming ladies' repudiation. SUPPLEMENT—THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1962. Colored Women, which was in session at the Concord Baptist Church in Brooklyn. The party called to extend fraternal greetings from their organization. An admirable address, directing attention to the systematic relations existing between woman and the medical profession, was delivered by Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, honorary president of the National Federation, and one of the most brilliant and best known platform orators in the country. Responses from the audience were varied. F. Gamble, of Charleston, W. Va., chairman of the executive committee of the National Medical Association, whose dignity and poise and strong conservatism have, given the organization additional prestige year by year; President W. H. Wright, Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, who possesses rare capacity, for saying the right thing at the right time and in the right way; Dr. C. W. Childs, whose force of tactful utterance and ready grasp of a situation held the vessel (character) in the middle of the stream when spoken in a joke (hence H. F. R. Boyd, whose geniality and classic lore, coupled with the knightly habit of "framing up" diplomatic language, led the convention to dub him it's "ladies' man." Dr. Williams Lectures on Surgical Topic. A lecture far out of the ordinary—the first of its kind enjoyed by the association—was that delivered by Dr. Daniel H. Williams at the Plaza in the evening on "Crushing Injuries of the Extremities." A large and unusually attentive audience was in attendance and listened to the scholarly presentation of the subject with unflagging interest from beginning to end. Dr. Williams read a graphic outline of the anatomical aspect of the theme, giving studies in anatomy and bone structure, following with forty stereopict views illustrating the effect various anatomy to the extremities each being taken from life occurring in his own practice. Many seemingly incurable fractures and lesions had been successfully treated through the methods he described with great skill and familiarity, and the association was so gratified that on motion of Dr. Childs a vote of thanks was unanimously tendered Dr. Williams for the magnificent treat he afforded them. The "slides" were handled with painstaking care and the drawings were life-like and convincing. Other papers presented during the meeting were taken from life, including the Death During Anatomy thesis. Dr. John W. Mitchell, of John A. Kenney, Tuskegee, Ala.; "Professional Care of Deciduous Tears." A. D. Ferguson, D. S. Richmond, Va.; discussion by Chas. H Roberts, D. S. New York City; "The Modern Hospital," Dr. N. F. Mossell of physicians in charge of the Frederick Douglass Hospital. In the discussion, Dr. R. F. Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn., who has had large of experience in hospital management, has authorized authorities on all matters pertaining to the maintenance and advancement of these useful institutions, laid especial stress upon the necessity for the hospital controlled by Negroes. Only through the hospital managed by our own people can the Negro physician perfect himself in the delicate phases of his profession; only through them can the Negro trained nurse practice her profession with satisfaction. White physicians do not, as a rule, care to consult with their colored brothers, and the colored patient thrives best amid surroundings that are congenial to him and beget confidence. Dr. A. C. McClellan, of South Carolina, made important suggestions and all agreed that Dr. Mossell's paper had drawn out one of the convention's most profitable exchanges of opinion. An interesting meeting was held separately by the dental section, with Dr. W. S. Lofton, of Washington, D. C., presiding. Of the fifty members enrolled throughout the country, about twenty-five were present. Three special topics along dental lines were given a head of the section and Dr. B. Sumner Wormley was detailed as an assistant executive officer. (1) Threading on the Threads Gathering on the Threads. By far the largest audience gathered at Plaza Assmann arranged for witness the proclamation arranged for Thursday. The rain that had been falling, steadily for two days, ceased and the sun that peeped shyly through the clouds encouraged the ladies to don some of the stunning costumes that thus far had been reposing in their trunks. Dr. John B. Hall, of Boston, started the ball rolling briskly with a paper on "Obsonins and the Obsonic Index in Medicine with able discourse" by Dr. F. E. Cambridge, Mass., and supplementary marks by Drs. George C. Hall, A. M. Curtis and W. G. Bailey, of Chicago. Dr. W. S. Lofton read an illuminating paper on "The Duty of the Profession to the Laity," which was followed by a discussion by Dr. C. C. Fry, of Washington, D. C.; Dr. H. Reginald-Smith, of Chicago, presented "A Secio-Economical Study in Tuberciosis," after which Dr. J. O. Robinson, of Dangrignan, of Thailand, presented a technical series, handling in splendid style the subject, "The Present Relation of the Physic to the Therapeutic and Physiologic in To-Day's Practice of Medicine." The point in this exhaustive study in psychic influences in the practice of medicine brought forth some unique experiences, related by Drs. Cabanes, Francis, F. D. Williston, Curtis and others. As the insetting of the surgical section Dr. A. M. Curtis was unanimously elected president, and the medical section conferred a similar honor on Dr. C. W. Childs. Both selections are regarded as excellent and from the plans they have outlined, long strides may be looked for in the development of their respective branches of medical inquiry. Vernon and Anderson Speak. The session was convened by the presence of Dr. T. Vernon Register, Tre. T. Washington, D. C., and Mr. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue for the Second District of New York, who delivered short, pithy addresses which stirred up enthusiasm to a high pitch. Both spoke in an encouraging strain of the Negro physician, and expressed gratification that so many able men of the profession were taking high places in such an exacting calling and elevating the race by a contact closer than that given to any other class of uplifting agencies. Mr. Anderson hinted that he knew noth- ing about medicine, and that he might make an "old-fashioned political speech," if left to his choice. In any event, he injected the only admixture of politics to which the convention had been treated, by a declaration that the masses needed leadership of free men unconcerned with Federal office to obtain them and who were thus independent of the salaries attached. He said: "It is good to hold office, but it is better to be free to assail enemies or to defend friends. Offices are good enough in their place. I like mine and want to hold it as long as I can; but, for real leadership the Negro race needs tall, brave men, who can earn their living in business and industrial pursuits. When a shadow over our lives and can be removed only by patriotic men who cannot be silenced by Federal pie, or who are in a position to talk because of their freedom from official alliances. Only free men can assert their rights as independent, nutram-melled citizens. God is ever on the side of a brave people." In closing, he said if by some strange lack of foresight or failure to appreciate the merits of a great and good man, the Republican past should be remedied from power and he should be taken to justice out, it was his sinere wish that the then dominant party would see to it that his successor shall be a colored representative of that party. Re-election of Officers. When the decks were cleared for election of officers, it was evident that some time after the election the petition was fully realized. From the opening of the meetings, the favorite candidate for the presidency was Dr. P. Augustus Johnson, of New York, but there was an undercurrent for an outsider, and some shrewd "gum-shoe" campaigning was indulged in with a hope of finding a man around whom the opposition could rally. Dr. Johnson was put in nomination, as was also Dr. Gustavus Henderson; then the name of Dr. Daniel H. Williams, of Chicago, was sprung as the long-sought-for "dark horse." It is understood that Dr. Williams was not a candidate and that his name was used without consulting him. His name, however, was voted upon, and the race became very warm before he received 62 votes and was declared elected, being carried to the platform upon the shoulders of his admirers. Thirty-eight votes were cast for Dr. Williams, and 17 went to Dr. Henderson. Dr. W. L. Lofton was chosen vicepresident; Dr. John A. Kenny, general secretary; Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, treasurer, with the remaining officers to be selected by the sections at interest. Boston was chosen as the next place of meeting, winning easily over Washington, despite the fact that the Capital was favored by a majority of the committee on place. Many delegates evinced a desire to carry the convention to the South where the battle for the and profession was unfolding and it is to Atlanta or Birmingham next time to attend. Closing函件 at Narrison Great as N. York is for brilliant social functions, it has never been the scene of a banquet of such dazzling splendor as the closing function given by the local committee on Thursday evening at Murray Hill Lyceum, one of the finest halls in the country. Nearly one thousand diners were served at one time, the long rows of tables being filled by daintily-gowned ladies and manly men, typifying the highest intelligence, manly picture was one that can never be forgotten by those who take pride in the concrete demonstration of the race's advancement. It was absolutely indescribable; in the language of the story writer, "it beggedgered description." Dr. W. G. Alexander, of Orange, N. J., made an admirable toastmaster. In the midst of the speechmaking Dr. Booker T. Washington entered the hall and proceedings had to暂停 until the multitudes ovation accorded him could subside. In response to call later, he made a brief speech of thanks. The toasts were responded to in the following order: "Our Guests," Dr. Yorke; Russell; "Our Hosts," Dr. Amanda V. Gray; "The Allied Professions," Dr. William Slowe; "The Citizens' Committee," Hon. Charles W. Anderson; "Education," Prof. L. Bulkley; "The Clergy," Rev. H. C. Bishop; "The Press," Fred R. Moore; "The National Media Association," Dr. R. F. Boyd; "Our Legal Friends," Counselor J. D. Carr; "The Local Society; Its Value," Dr. C. H. Sheppard; "Our Future," Dr. W. H. Wright. The tenth annual session of the National, Medical Association outranked all previous meetings in point of numbers, depth of interest manifested and in the number and brilliance of the social functions provided. The officers are encouraged beyond measure to go on in the good work and have faith in the future of the organization as an agency for the relief of humanity and for the promotion of the induction of the profession of colored physicians, surgeons, dentists and pharmacists coming each year out of our great institutions. Dr. Daniel H. Williams In many respects one of the most unique characters in the brilliant galaxy of physicians and surgeons attending the recent convention of the National Medical Association was Daniel H. Williams of Chicago, a product of the best medical school at that city, and a man whose fame as a surgeon has deprived the highest authorities on both sides of the ocean. A young men yet, quiet and unassuming in demeanor, modest as to his own merits, Dr. Williams possesses a darling that has led him more than once to discard ancient traditions, no matter how seared to the pholder, and venture into new fields of medicine and surgery, disclosing thereby new methods that have worked wonders in the heart of relieving the ills of mankind in the rashiness that warms him from the rashiness that takes risks that offer no satisfactory solution. He offers the first surgeon to find a means of sewing up a knife wound in the heart of a man without stopping its action, and bringing back to life and health a patient who had been pronounced a hopeless case by a presumably competent officer of the law. His constructive genius is evidenced by the successful outcome of his labors in connection with the founding of Provident Hospital at Chicago, when a powerful element in and out of the profession was opposed to the establishment of an institution which some feared might be an entered wedge to a race line that had not before existed in a virulent form. Dr. Williams and his allies saw in such a hospital the rare opportunity for the development of a superior grade of Negro physicians, surgeons and trained nurses, and subsequent results have shown that he was correct in the stand so bravely and earnestly taken. Dr. Williams' presence gave tone and dignity and authority to the recent convention of medical scientists. His lecture on "Crushing Injuries of the Extremeties" was the piece-de-resistance of the meeting, and deservedly won the prize. It was the most representative audiences of the women out of the ordinary—the first of its kind enjoyed by the organization in its ten years of existence. The doctor opened with a graphic outline of the anatomical aspect of extremities injured by crushing force, giving vivid studies in the anatomy of the muscles and bone structure, following with forty well-drawn aeroform illustrations of fractures, immobilized joints, and incurable injuries, taken from life. The cases had occurred in his own practice and had been for the most part successfully treated by the advanced methods DR. DAN'L H. WILLIAMS National Medical Association described. The explanation of his theory and exposition of the practice was couched in such simple language that the humbliest layman readily grasped his thought, and the effect was like unto a revelation. Dr. C. W. Childs, of Washington, D. C., the eminent surgeon was given the unusual compliment of having tendered him a unanimous vote of thanks for his informing, entertaining and highly profitable lecture. Dr. Williams has been accorded honors of an exceptional character, but it is the range of probability that still greater appeal him in the noble calling that he has chosen and which he so gracefully adoring.

Conditions in the Ninth Assembly District. New York City, August 24, 1903. Editor New York Age. Please allow me space in your paper to cite certain irregularities in the 9th Assembly District as follows: On the 8th of August, 1908, there was a supposed convention held through the un-supurpulous method of one. Earle R. Lightbourne, who packed the hall with a number of men from other districts and by "steam-roller" tactics claimed to have elected one George E. Lee as leader of said district. Messrs. William T. R. Richardson and William T. Hooper, being candidates for leader and not being notified of a convention, do protest with a majority of the enrolled colored Republican voters of the district against the actions of such a meeting. And in a conference held have decided to recognize the regularly elected leader, the Hon. Michael H. Blake, and to refute absolutely to recognize any other leader, homespun, so-called other, and do judge our support of the Hon. Michael H. Blake, assisting him to carry the district for the Hon. William H. Taft, the next President of the United States. (Signed.) WM. T. R. RICHARDON. WM. T. HOOPER. Mr. and Mrs. Charles W.

The Negro Vote. For Democrats to trim and ponder for Negro votes in the South States isolly. Republican administration is far from the Negro. Republican administrations, with bayonet rule, put them in control of public affairs in the South and held them in position while they and a lot of white scoundrels robbed and debauched the State government of the South. Republican teachers, preachers, papists and politicians are one reason quality schools held their hope to the cause of entrance to the white man's table and parlor. And the Negro knows that Democrats in the South hope to the white man's and the Negro in the South 7-8 Chatham Square New York Jersey City, N. J. The Nerm Note. have eliminated him from the electorate and forever slammed the door to social equality in his face. Knowing these things, the Negro is naturally Republican and it is kind of honeying, to attempt to make Democratic voters out of Republican Negroes.—Monroe, (La.) News. Newark, N. J.
