NOW ATWOOD IS "IN BAD" Letter Written to Kansas City Post Causes A Big Stir ANTI-NEGRO LAWS Urged by National Democratic Committeeman of Kansas Talks Disfranchisement A BRYAN MANAGER Eastern Democrats Doing All in Their Power to Explain What Atwell Meant—Negroes of Kansas Dependence Democrats LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Sept. 30.—Now the Democrats are having more trouble trying to straighten out the statement made some months ago by John H. Atwood, National Democratic Committee of Kansas, and Chairman of the Speakers' Bureau of the National Democratic Committee, who advocated the disfranchisement of the Negro voters of Kansas, Missouri and other States where the Negro vote has much to do with deciding the result of elections. Regardless of the excuses of the Eastern Democratic campaign managers in their endeavor to explain just what one of Mr. Bryan's right-hand men really meant, they are unable to deny the charge that Atwood advocated the disfranchisement of the Negro. Since William Jennings Bryan has made the Democratic National Committee one of his chief advisors the Negroes of Kansas have become hostile to the Democratic nominee for President and claim that Mr. Bryan was aware of Mr. Atwood's stand on the Negro question he should not have been appointed to such a prominent position in the management of the Bryan campaign—that is, if the Democratic party is desirous of support from the Negroes of Kansas and elsewhere. That John H. Atwood is greatly prejudiced against the Negro voting is clearly shown in his letter, printed in the Kansas City Post May 6. He urged that laws be passed in a number of States depriving the ignorant Negro of his vote. However, he did not ask that the ignorant white man be treated accordingly. In fact he merely urged Negro disfranchisement in the strongest terms. For the benefit of its readers The Age reproduces the Atwood letter published in the Kansas City Post: To the Kansas City Post—By one of those strange ironies of fate which sometimes overtakes the benefactors of individuals, peoples or races, the State of Kansas, which has done more, perhaps, for the Negro than any other State in the Union, is now suffering a previous political wrong from the hands of the freedman and his descendants. William A. Harris would now be Governor of Kansas had it not been for the ignorant Negro vote, and there have been times in the past when the Democratic party could have elected its State ticket had it not been for the ignorant black vote of Kansas City (Kan.). Leavenworth, Atchinson, Lawrence and Toneka. There was a time when the Negro vote was not a considerable factor in Kansas politics, but the time has passed. The infuse of Negroes from the South the rapid multiplication of those native to Kansas soil, and the increasing insistence of the Negro upon social equality make the Kansas Negro not only a political factor, but a social and political menace. If the last general election be a criterion, the Negro now holds the balance of political power in Kansas as he does in Missouri. This in itself is bad enough, but in Kansas we have suffered for long years the outrage of mixed schools, fastened upon us by Republican politicians. Mixed schools lead the Negroes to aspire to a mixed society, and this close contact of the races is productive of trouble from which Kansas would be free if the Negro had less political power and were not admitted to the same schools with the whites. Kansas has long been weary of the Negro politician, and it is more than weary of the mixed school. Patience has its limit, and I believe the time has come when the people of Kansas will join with the people of Missouri in restricting Negro suffrage. I do not advocate the disfranchisement of the Negro on the ground of his.color. That idea is abhorent to the principles of our free government and its execution would be in conflict with the Constitution. But our Constitution will permit the disfranchisement of the ignorant, deprived, lazy, vicious and debauched Negro, and all this disfranchisement should be accomplished to the end that our free institutions may not suffer. TO RESTORE SIXTH GRADE New Orleans School Board Plans Recreation NEW ORLEANS, September 29.—There is much talk going the rounds here that the School Board contemplates restoring the sixth grade in the colored schools. For some time the Negro citizens here have been seeking to have the THE NEW YORK AGE. upper grades restored. If the School Board adopts such a course the people declare that the upper grade will be well supported. At this time it is necessary for those who desire to pursue a course in the upper grades to take private lessons. Many colored children, while ambitious to acquire a higher education, have not the money to secure a private instructor. TO HELP NEGRO RACE Catholic Church to Expand Thousands Yearly in the South—Will Establish Industrial Schools. With the saint of the Pope at Rome and the foremost Catholic dignitaries in this country acting as an executive board through Director General, Father John E. Burke, of New York, the Catholic Church will henceforth aid in uplifting the Negroes of the South by the Booker T. Washington plan of industrial education: A chain of industrial schools for Negroes will be placed throughout the Southwest in the large, neglected communities and missionary work to spread the faith will be carried on among the unchurched millions of Southern Negroes. The members of the Mission Board are: Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia; Archbishop Farley, of New York; Archbishop Blenk, of New Orleans; Bishop Byrne, of Nashville; Bishop Allen, of Mobile, and Bishop Kelly, of Savannah. The offices of the Board are at No. 1 Madison avenue, New York City. Catholics especially, but the public generally will be asked to contribute at least $100,000 each year to carry on the work. One hundred thousand people will be asked to contribute one dollar annually to this end. Father Burke and his assistants are now hard at work in raising the funds. As soon as sufficient money is secured the active educational and religious work will be begun. In the meantime, several missionaries and members of the various church orders, who are to leave shortly, will be working in the new field. Father Burke, Director General of the mission, is now fifty-six years old, and for over a quarter of a century has been working among Negroes, whom he calls "my people." He was rector of the first Roman Catholic Church for Negroes in New York on Bleecker street, which is now on West Fifty-third street. With the immense influence and funds of the Catholic Church back of him, great good to the social and economic position of Negro in the South will undoubtedly result. Mr. Scott In Town Mr. Emmett J. Scott, of Tuskegee Institute - Ala., brought to a close the early part of the week a vacation period of two weeks which he spent in New York. Mr. Scott was domiciled at the Astor House, the most famous and oldest hotel in the downtown district of New York. After remaining in Washington for a couple of days he will return to Tuskegee and join Dr. Washington for a tour of Mississippi, which begins on Monday, October 5, and continues for nearly ten days. The party will travel in a special car. All arrangements for the trip are in the hands of Hon. Charles Banks, of Mound Bayou, Miss. CHEYNEY TO GET LIBRARY. Has Compiled With Carnegie Require- ment- Fifth Session of School. CHEYNEY, Pa., September 29.—The Institute for Colored Youth, Cheyney, Pa. has begun its fifth session. The class which graduated last June left seventeen vacancies in the school. Applications for these places have come in from all sections of the country to the number of ninety up to date. The demand for admittance into the school has long since outgrown its dormitory facilities. The Cheyney school is devoted entirely to the training of teachers, for colored schools—thorough courses being given in the manual training, domestic science, domestic art, and the academic subjects for the graded schools. It is one of the oldest schools in the country for the education of the colored race, and is under the management of a board composed of members of the Society of Friends. It was formerly located on Bainbridge street, Philadelphia, Pa. The work of the regular session and the summer school for teachers has the heartiest endorsement and support of Booker T. Washington. The managers, having raised the ten thousand dollars required by Mr. Carnegie, who will make his donation for a library available at once.

AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION THE MEMORIAL HON. CHARLES W. ANDERSON, LEADER. AND OTHER COLORED DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES AT THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION AT SABATOGA, NEW YORK. Professional, Business and Laboring Men Interviewed on Presidential Campaign—All say: "I'm With the Republican Nominee" A careful canvass of Greater New York reveals the information that New York Negroes are practically solid for Taft and Hughes. Individually and collectively the black race of this city still rests its hopes of continued progress and ultimate justice upon the party of their known past and present friends. Intelligent Negroes by HON. CHARLES W. ANDERSON. LEADER STAT solid reason. Negroes of less understanding by their saving grace of common sense, but, nevertheless, all Negroes here as elsewhere, are firmly fastened to this conviction and both greater time and grievances will be needed to move them from this rock of their salvation. Any one canassing the five boroughs of this city cannot escape these conclusions. As one of the leading preachers in Manhattan said yesterday: "The Negro citizens of this community have sized up the situation sensibly, and they can't see anything but Tait and Hughes." That the Negro voters of New York are going to vote for the assured betterment of their industrial and civil conditions, let no one doubt. When any one thinks that a blind race prejudice or a childish resentment over any single executive act is leading Negroes into fields of political madness, he is reckoning without his host. Ask Negroes in any station of life the question and from the volunteer baggage carrier to the Wall Street broker the answer is the same. The latter said thoughtfully: "Well, the election of Bryan would mean the further unsettling of business for three or four years." The former said in painful reflection, "Let Bryan he elected and wee will all starve to death for the next four years." Talk to such helpful and reputable preachers as Dr. Brooks, Dr. Gilbert, Rev. Sims and Rev. Johnson and you will find them leading their blocks into the paths of Republican progress and prosperity. The foremost lawyers at the bar, such as Messrs. Wilfred H. Smith, E. A. Johnson, L. C. Collins, J. Douglass Wetmore and Alfred C. Cowan, are all counseling common sense and the straight Republican ticket. So the list might be extended. This same confidence and party regularity is true of the Negroes of all professions, and especially of business throughout the metropolis. A chance visitor at places where Negro men are gathered in considerable numbers, like the Y. M. C. A. and the Custom Houses, can scarcely find a Negro who is anything other than an enthusiastic Republican. Mr. James A. Mayhew, of the Castodian Department, is authority for the statement that every man of the fifty or sixty Negroes employed with him I. an enthusiastic Taft man. The politician generally, where names are too well known among Negroes to need mention, declare in confidence there will be practically no defection from the Republican ticket. NEW YORK, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1908 If one should wish further confirmation of this common sense attitude under the fire of hot-headed arguments and the prejudiced appeals of ranting politicians and papers, he has only to attend any of the great nightly political meetings. Last Friday night the Circle Club, Mr. Peter Banks president, more than two hundred strong and headed by the New Amsterdam Negro Band, paraded to the big Taft mass meeting in Carnegie Hall. Saturday night at the great Hughee notification meeting in Clermont Rink, Brooklyn, the Henry Hyland Garnett Club, Mr. James Ryerson president, marched more than three hundred strong. These, together with the hundreds of other Negroes attending, sang and applauded the candidates' praises, while at the latter meeting a stalwart young black man led a hearty "Taft all right!" cheer. Thus the events of the last few days have not befuddled the black man's brains as to the issues of the enforcement of the Constitution and prosperity which confront him. The Negro vote against his own economic interest and to the party which disfranchises him can no more be delivered by any politician, black or white, than can the vote of labor by Samuel Gompers. Not unmindful of his friends, neither unmindful of his enemies and their party, the Negro resents any reflection upon his sane political judgment. LEADER, AND OTHER COLORED DELEGATES AND A STATE CONVENTION AT SARATOGA, NEW YORK Weighing every value in the political equation and sensible as to his position politically and economically, the Negro here as elsewhere will vote for Taft and Hughes. OVERRUN WITH PUPILS All Schools of Norfolk Crowded as Result of Campaign for Education. NORfolk, September 29. As the result of the crusade inaugurated by the Colored Citizens' Educational and Industrial Association, whose object is to increase the attendance of the colored schools of this city, all the schools are crowded. On opening day the Queen Street School and the Cumberland Street School were overrun with pupils. There were 240 more children enrolled the first day of school this year than that of last year. Springfield, Mass. Personals/ The Springfield Literary Union resumed its work last evening before a large audience in the Third Baptist Church after having been suspended during the summer season. Rew P. G. Moore-Browne, of the Loring Street Church, delivered the address of the evening, his subject being "The Bible". His discourse was, in sentiment, a reply to the present day higher critics of this book. The following officers were installed for the ensuing six months; President, Mr W. B. Jones; secretary, Miss Helen T. Garrett; treasurer, Miss Lillian M. Burr. The next meeting will be on the 28th inst. at the Loring Street Church. The representatives of the Masonic Lodge of Springfield returned home on Sunday evening from Boston and give glowing reports of a most successful centennial. Many of them wish that they might witness many more of the same centennials. Those who represented this city were: Messrs. Archie Jacobs, Timothy Lines, Edw. R. Lewis, H. J. Harper, Chas. Ireland, Davis Jennings, Thornton H. Johnson, Dr. Lew, Amherst, and Edgar Brown, of the same town. Messrs. Harper and Lewis were members of the general committee. Miss Ivy Cole, of Norwood street, and Mr. Edw. L. Shephard, of Tyler street, will be quietly united into the bond of matrimony Wednesday evening at six o'clock, at the residence of the bride. The ceremony will be conducted by Pastor E. Luther Cunningham of the Third Baptist Church. The couple will be attended by Miss Louise Shephard, sister of the groom, as maid to the bride. The groom will be attended by Mr. E. B. Hathaway. EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD But She Sits With Third Grade Children Just the Same—Is Larger Than Her Teacher—More Legal Complications Likely to Follow. ALTON, Sept. 30.—Minnie Bibb, eighteen years old, is the most-talked-of person in Alton. For eleven years she has been an object of no little attention in this city, due to her prominence in a legal case which involved hundreds of other Negro children in Illinois, and particularly in Alton. At the age of eighteen years she is now a third-grade pupil in the Wash- AND ALTERNATES AT THE REPUBLICAN YORK ington School, where she sits with white children who range from eight to ten years old. She is much larger than her teacher, but according to the law she can remain in the primary grade until she is twenty-one years old. Minnie Bibb's presence in the Washington School is causing considerable talk in Alton and neighboring towns, owing to the unusual circumstances attending her case. It was eleven years ago, she then a child of seven years, and her brother, at that time nine years old, made application to enter the Washington School. They were refused admission on the grounds that they were Negroes. Other Negro children attempted to gain admission to the Washington School but to no good purpose. The parents of the Bibb children, knowing that Illinois provided for mixed schools, took the matter to the State courts, which decided against them. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court of Illinois, which reversed the decision of the lower court and ordered the case retried according to law. It was the opinion of the higher court that the decision arrived at by the lower court was not in accord with the testimony that had been adduced during the trial. For eleven years the Bibb case was sent from one court to another, the Supreme Court always reversing the decision of the trial court and ordering a new trial. A few months ago the matter was finally adjudicated by the Illinois Supreme Court, which decided that the Bibb children had a perfect right to attend the Washington School or any other school in Alton so long as they lived in the district in which the school was located. During the eleven years the suit has been pending the School Board of Alton erected several schools for Negro children, refusing them, admission to any of the white schools. All the children except those in the Bibb family attended the separate schools. When the scholastic year for 1908-9 opened a few weeks ago every one in Alton, was anxious to learn what the Bibb family intended doing after winning the suit against the School Board. They were not allowed to wonder long, however, as Minnie Bibb, now grown into womanhood, applied, for admission at the Washington School on the first day. The principal could not do other than accept her application and assigned her to the third grade. Since Minnie Bibb entered the white school other Negro children have sought admission, but in almost every instance the claim has been set up that the school was crowded. It is probable that if the white school principals seek to keep the Negro children out of the, white school more legal complications will follow, which will ultimately result in the Negroes winning out. Although the law in Illinois provides for mixed schools, the influx of Southeners in Alton during the past fourteen years has so increased prejudice that a cry for separate schools was raised by some whites heretofore knew nothing other than mixed schools. The parents of the Bibb children say they did not institute proceedings against the Alton School Board because they were so anxious to have their children associate with the white pupils, but that they knew that the statutes provided for mixed schools and they wanted to see the law enforced. SHOWED FRIENDSHIP FOR NEGROES Late Senator Vilas Made Special Provision for Colored Student, CHICAGO, September 30.—One of the most pleasing exhibitions of generous sentiment toward the colored people of the United States appears to have been little noted by the public generally. I refer to a certain provision in the will of the late Senator Vilas, of Wisconsin Senator Vilas' will be remembered as a member of the late President Cleveland's Cabinet. During the last years of his life he was not much in evidence as a public man. He was a man of rare scholarship and was ardently devoted to the interests of the State University at Madison, Wis. He was also a man of large wealth. In his will he be bequeathed something over $10,000,000 to that institute. One provision in his generous will was, that in the use of his bequest to the university for the assistance of young men in pursuit of higher education, preference should be given to colored students! The fact that the late Senator made no outward display of interest and friendship toward colored men "in pursuit of learning," makes it all the more surprising to his many friends that he should so speak and go out of his way to give special direction that whenever the student is colored preferment must be given to him. Here is an interesting instance where the term Democrat does not necessarily imply race prejudice. It is to be noted that there are more people of this kind in the United States than we think. The late Senator Vilas, in inserting that provision in his will, paid deserving tribute to the scholarship ambitions of the young colored men of this country. It was a most gracious recognition of the fact that the future well-being of this country will depend not a little upon the young men who are mentally and morally equipped to conduct the large and important affairs of our common country. Mrs. Emma Hansom, of New York City, is visiting friends in Chicago, and is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Howman. I am told that the colored voters have begun to get busy and interested in the political campaign. Mr. Sherman, the candidate for Vice-President on the Republican ticket, addressed the colored citizens of Chicago Monday night. It was a large and enthusiastic gathering. Arrangements are in preparation for a big demonstration of Negro loyalty to the G. O. P. Mr. Robert R. Mitchell, who has been a studious reader of the New York Age for over twenty years, died in this city on the 18th inst. Mr. Mitchell was a native of Alabama. He was one of the first colored men in Illinois to win and hold responsible positions as an official in the Federal and Municipal Government. About fifteen years ago he retired from public life and devoted himself to the practice of law. He had an extensive acquaintance among the public men of Illinois. He was popular as a public speaker and was in much demand in the State and National campaigns. He was an interesting type of the politicians who are fast passing away. Fearless, self-sufficient and forcible, he commanded attention and respect to an extent that some of our newer men cannot command. Mr. Mitchell is survived by a widow who is deservedly loved and esteemed for her good works. Men of the Robert Mitchell type are well-nigh extinct. They heroically bore the first brunt of opposition to the Negro's rise as a voting and office holding citizen. No class of men of like circumstances could have done more to vindicate the right of the Negro to aspire to everything that comes within the range of a self-sufficient manhood than that represented by Mr. Mitchell. With the approach of October the stir of preparation for the opening of the various civic and social clubs of this city is in evidence. After a summer of a more or less social activity in the interest of the university students, the Frederick Douglass Center looks forward to a season of energetic work. Its members who have been in attendance on some of the great National gatherings of the summer, such as the National Business League in Baltimore, the National Convention of the Physicians and Surgeons at New York, and the National Association of Colored Women, held in Brooklyn, N. Y., are expected at the opening meeting on the 29th of September to tell something of all that they saw, heard and felt as an inspiration to those who were not so fortunate as to be a part of the same. The Center having succeeded in its campaign for the establishment of park and playground in the district where the colored people are mostly residents, will now devote its energies and resources to the building of a suitable gymnasium for the young colored men of the city, who are deprived of such privileges. FANNIE BARRER WILLIAMS PRICE. 5 CENTS TAFT NAILS ANOTHER LIE TAFT NAILS ANOTHER LIE Comes Out in a Strong Declaration For Negro Suffrage FOR AMENDMENTS Writes Letter to Albert C. White Setting Forth His Position A Prompt Denial Would-be "Anti-Administration League Reporting to Slander in Unsuccessful Attempt to Failure Nominee LOUISVILLE. Ky., Sept. 29.-Judge William Howard Taft is in favor of the 15th Amendment to the Federal Constitution, which declares that the "right of suffrage shall not be abridged to any citizen of the United States on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." When the attention of the Republican nominee was called to the circular sent out by Rev. S. L. Corrothers, a Washington preacher, stating that Judge Taft, in public speech, had favored the abolition of the 15th Amendment, that eminent statesman did not mince words in making an emphatic denial of the charge. He declared in the plainest language that the report put out by Corrothers is a lie. The prompt and vigorous denial came in a letter from the Republican candidate to Albert S. White, a leading colored lawyer of this city, Corrothers, it will be remembered, is at the head of some kind of an "anti administration league," said to be the composed of Negro voters, but who the other officers of the "league" are, aside from Corrothers, is not known; nor is there any definite means of knowing who the members are or where they are located. It is generally believed and asserted that Corrothers and his mouth constitute the "whole thing." The object of the "league" is to encompass the defeat of Judge Taft and to discredit the administration of President Roosevelt. "The correspondence between Judge Taft and Mr. White was as follows: Lawyer White's Letter to Judge Taft The Hon. William H. Taft, Middle Bass, O.-Dear Sir: I was shown a circular to-day from a colored Washington, D. C., preacher, the Rev. S. L. Corrothers, in which he appeals to his people to vote against you because he alleges, that in an address you had stated that a law that cannot be enforced-ought to be repealed. He claims that you had direct reference to the 15th Amendment. I endeavored to procure the letter, but without avail. It is because I believe that Kentucky will give you her electoral votes, and because I believe that this letter may do harm that I write you. I judge that if any of this communication is true, that it must be some sentence that has been distorted from the context, and made to do duty for his miserable end. If you have made any speech susceptible of such perversion, kindly let me have it, or the part pertinent herein, as I desire in the newspapers to expose the fraud. Yours very truly, ALBERT S. WHITE Judge Taft Refutes Corrothers' Conspiracy Judge Taft, writing from Middle Bass, O., replied as follows: My Dear Mr. White—The circular letter of Mr. Corrothers is a lie. What I was referring to was sumptuary laws, and I referred to them in a lecture that I delivered at Yale. I can send you a copy of it as soon as I get to Cincinnati, and shall do so. Very sincerely yours, WILLIAM H. T. CAMPAIGN ON IN-INDIANA Big Gathering Last Week in Indiana —J. Milton Turner (Sleif Steg) MILTON TURNER Chief Speaker. INDIANAPOLIS, September 26—Spacious Tomlinson Hall was crowded September 22 with an immense throng of colored citizens who turned out to celebrate the forty-sixth anniversary of the proclamation of emancipation by President Lincoln, September 22, 1802. It was regarded by the people as the formal opening of the Republican campaign among the Negroes, for emancipation can concern only the Republican party, which conceived it and made it a living fact. The enthusiasm manifested was an earnest that the campaign is not to be a spiritless affair. The Negro voters here are united and the Republicans are worked up to excellent fighting trim. Despite the efforts of wily "Tom" Taggart, there are no factional differences among them and Taft and Sherman stand to poll the normal Negro vote in Marion county, and in every section of the State where the colored vote is a factor. The orator of the day was the Hon. J. Milton Turner, of Missouri, former Minister to Liberia, and a speaker of national repute. His address was an excellent one, and teemed with instructive historical points and emphasized the patriotic virutes of Lincoln, Grant and Summer; and placed a wreath of laurels upon the brow of Frederick Douglass and the brave band who fought with him to crush the evil of slavery. Hundreds of out-of-town colored people joined with the citizens of the "Hoosier" capital in making the celebration the great success that it was. MONSTER CELEBRATION PLANNED Citizens of Corning to Have Big Affair October 6-Charles W. Anderson to speak. On October 6 the Negro citizen's of Corning, N. Y., will give a monster emancipation celebration, which, if the present plans are carried out, will be the largest affair of its kind ever held here. According to present arrangements citizens from Binghampton, Elmira, Hornellville, Bath, Rome, Ithaca, Amsterdam, Syracuse, Rochester, Palmyra, Utica, Buffalo, Watkins and Pen Yan will take part and assist in making the celebration a success. The Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue, will be the guest of the Mayor of Corning, and will be the principal orator of the day. There will be baseball games, foot races, bicycle races, running jumps, and many other special features. It is expected that there will be 10,000 people at the event. Special rates on all steamboats and railroad lines have been made. Mr. and Mrs. Moultrie Entertainment—Men's Sunday Club Begins Business. YONkers, Sept. 29. On last Monday evening the A. M. E.

This was the first time the cup was used. Mr. Monttrie made quite a little speech telling of his appreciation of the cup before he served guests, after which the trunks were mounted into their spacious dining room and sat down to an elaborate spread. The table was heavily laden with charnes that looked to be beautiful to be disturbed. The table decorations were pink and green. This royal reception was said by all to be the greatest affair that Yonkers has witnessed in a good while. On Sunday morning at the A. M. E. Zion Church Rev. John J. Smyer occupied his pulpit, and in the evening the Rev. W. J. Coquett, of Denver, Colorado. The installation of officers of the A. M. E.

Richmond für Taft HALLOWON, Va., Sept 28, June 19, by the Friday following the notification of Taft and Sherman, the Negro Republican League of Virginia was organized and a strong Taft and Sherman club launched in Richmond by the Negro voters, Messrs. Richard Hamilton was chosen president; E. A. Randolph, vicepresident, George St. Julien Stephens, secretary and manager; Nathaniel Ray, as assistant secretary; W. T. Rice, treasurer, and Leroy Frazier, servant at offices. The membership, which consists of long hide, long hide, long hide, to oversee the train, train, numbers several hundred. By a system of taxation the treasury has made sufficiently strong to open up connections headquarters in North Second street, the centre of Negro business enterprises. The league has done systematic work and scores of young colored men who have become of age since the last city assessment. Frazier has paid their capital taxes and registered and will be permitted to vote this fall. Although the league is working in full accord with the regular Republican organization, it has made no call upon the organization for funds and has met all of its obligations so far, and from present obligations will be able to do so in the future. Niger Democratic craze has not struck Richmond as yet and were it, it would be of little or no effect, as the Nergos down here are a unit for the Republican candidates. Saturday, Oct. 3, will be the last day for registration previous to the election, and a heavy work's work is before the League. Arrangements have been made for a big mass meeting for Wednesday night in League Hall, at which to present prominent candidates who have paid their poll taxes as a requirement of registration. Arrangements will be made for several other public meetings during the campaign with a view of keeping the voters posted as to the trend of the campaign. The Neighbors of Ribault were strong for Forkaker for President before the Chicago Convention and done its work, but they are now equally as strong for Judge Taft as they were for the Ohio Senator for he part in the convention. In a speech to the Negro business houses of the city large librographic cuts of Taft and Sherman are displayed. On the door at headquarters is a large collection of President Eisenhower under which is the inscription "The Open Door." George St. Joseph Scripps. New Haven, Nettle.

Night Riders in Georgia Apply Torch Mountain Rescue and Avalanche to Many churches and Schools. AVENNY, G. Sc., 29. About twenty Nine churches, sell sell houses and bake rooms were burned by night lights Sunday might be in the territory formed by the injection of Early, Baber and Calhoun counties. The territory in which the church was used is ten miles in area, and not a church was standin by it in Mon- cy morning. Among the burned build- ings were several handsome churches which were erected at great sacrifice by the Nerroves. Among the buildings destroyed were Mount Zion Church and sell house, Desert Hill Church and sell house, Christ Church and sell house, Little Zion Church and sell house, Belmont Church, Mt. Astra Church and sell- house, New Salem Church and school- house. The night riders first made their appearance at a point three miles east of Bokher, where the first church was fired. They pulled away toward the east, and before the glare of the first fire had reached its height another was being kindled a few miles away. Fire followed fire, and the destruction of every building to which the touch was applied was complete. This is the same district where a few months into a number of Negro lodges were demolished and where several buildings have a recently occurred. In addition to using the touch the night riders lit fires warming the Negroes to meet their ways, or worse would follow. Many Negroes are the ing. Kentora differ as to the cause of the attack. One story is that the Negroes had been selling cotton too freely instead of holding it for an advance, but the generally accepted theory is that the churches were harmed because recently a Negro in that section attacked the wife of a prominent white planter. Although the Negro was lynched, a bitter feeling continued against the Negroes. It is alleged by some of the whites that the Negroes use their lodge rooms and churches to form plots, and that several primes have been planned at these places. There is no clue to the night riders, as all were masked, and the Negroes seem to be afraid to talk. The outrage is condemned by good citizens, and the Governor will be asked to offer a reward for the capture of the night riders, but it is doubtful if there will be any arrests.

Several young men were present who stated that they had never been in the meeting before, among them being some young men from different Southern colleges. On being introduced, Mr. Fernanders said: "The idea that I wish to speak about is faithfulness in little things. David was faithful to his father's flocks, and Moses to the flock of his father-in-law. There are people who if they cannot be the big thing prefer to be nothing at all. The man who is faithful in little things can never be permanently kept down. The only safe rule for any one in his dealings with his fellow man is the Sermon on the Mount. God is above us and beneath us, and will always protect and bless those who put their trust in Him." Prof. H. A. Hunt, principal of the Normal and Industrial School at Fort Valley, Ga., spoke on "The Convict System of Georgia," and related the horrors and cruelties that had grown out of this system.

"All I can say to you is that when I get into White House, assuming that I am to be put there, no plea in favor of a Negro will have any lean condition in a Negro than he be white man." "You are Americans an n I am. The starry sing that in mine in yours. Many race have indown their lives for it." "I have no patience whatever with the proposition advanced by perhaps one the way for you to obtain equality of right and happiness in to move out of other countries from which you are from other country from which in distant times your ancestors were brought. I think that you are not the only centeniles, that you are here and you are here to stay. It may be that your coming on the other side are by force, but that only imposes a heavier duty on those of us who are on the other side to see you offer from in equality before the law." William H. Taft in a recent address delegation of Negroes in Cleveland, mail. PRESIDENT BRYAN AND THE NESRO. To abuse our imagination, let us imagine President Bryan and the Negro. By a defection of the Negro vote in the pivotal States, let us say, the great Commander and his very common brand of Democracy—the Negro-hating South and the corrupt Northern wing, have been elected to power. The conservative and able Cleveland Democrats have been ignored. The successful Southerners have docked to Washington, to Congress, the Cabinet and the departments. The Northern Democrats under Bryan are voting as solidly with the South now as they did under Roosevelt. Helfin's Jim Crow car law for the District of Columbia easily becomes enacted. The border States, West Virginia, Maryland, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Kansas, already agitated, follow not only Washington's "Jim Crow" example, but at the adroit suggestions from the White House, they disfranchise their Negroes to assure Democratic victory in 1912. Disfranchisement, "Jim Crowism", and peonage rages rampant in the Southland. The States' rights president says: "Let the people rule." The Supreme and other Federal course retiring judges, have been packed with Democrats of States' rights persuasion. These in their turn, justify and thus perpetuate the black man's seridom. The appointed Negro officials, Register, Recorder, Auditors, Custom Collectors and Chief Clerks, have all been displaced to make room for hungry Democrats, for twelve years now without power and unfeed. A committee of the "resoluting radicals"—Negro Democrats—on an errand of complaint and political pie, appear at the White House gate. At the same time arrives Secretary of State Tillman, Secretary of Agriculture Vardman, in company with Secretary of the, Treasury "Fingy" Conners. For their pretense of social equality, the irate statesmen knock the impudent Negroes down and have them arrested. On motion of Attorney General Bailey, of Texas, the Negro socialists are given a life term in the chain gang by Chief Justice Jeff Davis on the technical charge of obstructing the sidewalks. To those who think this picture overdrawn, let him recall the administration of even so good and fair a Democrat as Cleveland. The difference between Cleveland and his political friends and Bryan with his friends is the difference between ability and incompetence, between honor and dishonesty, between Negro tolerance and Negro suppression. Then a Negro was not good enough to be Registrar of the Treasury or Auditor of the Navy or a Federal Attorney. Within sixty days after Cleveland's inauguration Washington had changed. The iglux of intolerant Southernners made Southern sentiment prevail. The places of public accommodation which had formerly entertained such men as Governor Pinchback, Senator Bruce, Historian Williams, and such companies as the Fiske Jubilee Singer knew them no more. Before his death Grover Cleveland bitterly denied that any Neuro had ever dined with him during his administrations. But most of all let any dourishing Negro powder well the present composition of the Democratic party. Let him remember that nineteenth of the Democratic electoral votes come from the States which disfranchise his race. Let him realize what the chairman of the Bryan publicity bureau—the only National Democrat making an active bid for Negro votes—Colonel Watterson, of Kentucky, has, just said: "In perfect candor, we offer (Negroes) nothing." Let him recall the "Great Commoner" lecturing on "The Prince of Peace" in Charleston, West Virginia, in March, 1808. There he gave his tacit consent to the expulsion by burly po liecem of all Negro ladies and gentlemen applying for admission. Finally, let the black man remember that Bryan desecrated Cooper Union, where Lincoln said this nation can not exist half slave and half free. On this spot, sacred to every liberty-loving Negro, he demagogically essayed to justify the South's injustice to the Negro and her violation of the Federal Constitution. "The South has disfranchised the Negro in self-protection," was the infamous, statement of the pandering statesman. The man of common sense who will look the situation squarely in the face will conclude: It were better, for the Negro that a millstone be tied around his neck and that he be cast into the depths of the sea than that this Southern and dominant school of Democracy under Bryan—which believes the Negro intellectually and permanently incapable of citizenship—should be entrusted with the fate and future of that citizenship. BACK TRACK GAMBLING. The head waiter for the last two decades at a large hotel in Saratoga said recently to the writer: "Before the opening of the one dollar book stands, none of my men gambled at the tracks. At the end of the season all had plenty, of money to carry back to their families for the winter. But now many a poor man loses every dollar he has in the world at the races. Broke and disheartened, the summer wasted, winter and his family's want starting him in the face, he gets back home and has to hunt for a job. Many a student struggling at Saratoga to earn his expenses for the coming season and to pay off last season's debts, falls into the mad, habit of playing the ponies." A peniless gambler, he can't go back to school. His ambition and career blasted, he follows his fellows back to the city hotel, to their club room." Let no Negro be deceived. Gambling race track or otherwise, individually or collectively, has never been anything to him but a blight and a curse. A few rare cases of apparently successful "puny" lottery, card or dice players may be cited. But a second thought will recall that even their seeming success has been at the expense of their own, their families and their numerous victims' final disgrace and misery. "Governor Hughes, continuing his crusade against gambling in this State, will be a Godsend to the Negro race throughout this country." --- TWO DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGES. In another column of this issue we relate two recent disgraceful and pagan mob outrages in the South. In the first an area of ten square miles in Georgia has been despoiled by "night raiders" of Negro churches and schoolhouses. The thrift of the freed race for forty years and its hard and humble efforts for Christianity and education are thus set at mangle in a single night. In the second at Jellico, Tenh, and this time affecting only whites, one of the darkest tragedies of Christian civilization in modern times has been enacted. White worshippers, including an inoffensive pastor, are shot down by drunken whites and their blood flowing down the church steps leaves a blot never to be erased from the American people and their progress. How long, oh, how long can Christian civilization, this American Republic and the Christian whites of the South stand this? What will the next generation of Americans in the southland be? America, first cast th' mote: of thing own eye! NO NEGRO LAWYERS IN DELA- WARE No Negro lawyers can be admitted to the bar in the State of Delaware. There is no definite statute for bidding such admission, but the composition of the bar is regulated by judges of the several courts. These are for the most part members of the Democratic Party and they have steadily refined through all these years of Negro progress to admit any Negro lawyer to practice. The only remedy for this reprehensible practice is to change the political complexion of the bench. At the next election, we want to say to the Negroes of Delaware, you can begin to make this change. Every judge in anywise responsible for this injustice to your race, we want you to defend. Do not be fooled by the old Democratic trick of putting some gullible colored man on some minor ticket to divide the colored vote. Do not be fooled! Defeat the Democratic judges! COLONEL WATTERSON CORNERED COLONEL WATTERSON CORNERED Poor old "Marse" Henry! His congres of the Southern press unanimously and vigorously continue to lambast him on the score of his lukewarm encouragement of Negro Democrats. Greeted on "all sides by" the "bossetted heretic," "Negro lover," and "dangerous theorist," Colonel Watterson cornered, makes this frank admission in a recent issue of his Courier-Journal: "In perfect candor, we offer them (Negroes) nothing!". But for even countenancing Negro support at all, the Charleston News and Courier scoldingly rebukes him: "We do not envy our Republicans friends their exclusive character as a Negrod party in this Republic. Let them keep it." In short, then, to the Negroes: Colonel Watterson frankly says, "we want to use you." The rest of the South says: "We don't want you." Take your choice, gentlemen! his Denver platform. The Negro was left out of that statement of party principles, and it stands to reason that he will fare no better should Mr. Bryan find his way to the White House. WHAT THE NEW PRESS HA William J. Bryan, NEGRO PARTE IN CUBA The new "Negro party" in Cuba is selecting a complete National ticket of congressional and presidential candidates for the December election. General Miguel Gomez, a relative of the late General Gomez, is the presidential candidate of the combined Liberal party. The Negroes and "coloreds" of Cuba, as in the successful South American Republics, form three-fourths of the population. Owing to their rumored uprising, it is said, American troops can not safely leave the island on February 1, as scheduled. Just what is the justification for the Negro party, we do not know. We do know this, however, American occupation is largely the cause of the present race prejudice there, with all its unheard of "Jim Crow" features. Not only the Constitution but American race prejudice also follows the American flag. AUDITOR TYLER REPORTS The report of the Auditor of the Navy, Ralph W. Tylier, for the fiscal year ending June 20, 1908, is before us. Clear, accurate and comprehensive, it reveals the admirable system of this capable Negro official in his handling of tremendous Government business. More than 110 millions of dollars have been audited by his office in the last year, and more than 160 millions have been handled as appropriations and balances. A balance of over 134 millions is at present on hand in the Navy Department. The number of employees under the auditor during the year were 102. But owing to the enlarged navy and the increased number of necessary reports, the auditor asks that "additional clerks be provided, to the end that promptness and accuracy may be assured." CONVICT LEASE SYSTEM DOOMED. The corrupt and disgraceful convict- lease system in Georgia is doomed. Under a bell just passed at a special session of the Legislature, convicts may be employed on public works by the State, county or city, but can not otherwise be employed except by the approval of the Governor and the Convict Commission. This relief is due in large measure to the vigorous efforts of the Daily Georgian. Because of the precedents which Governor Smith is expected to establish, it is thought no future Governor will dare give his permission. THE RELIEF OF THE CONGO THE RELIEF OF THE CONGO. The Congo Free State has just passed from the private control of King Leopold into the hands of the Belgian Government. This 500,000 square miles of Central African territory, with a population of 300,000,000 people, for thirty years has reckoned with the blood of the enclaved, rubber hunting natives. The action of the Belgian radicals in taking this territory out of the hands of the royal Styliak's greedy agents is therefore timely. Their is an act of National mercy, making all mankind their labor. --- SENATOR SULLIVAN REPUDIATED Out of the blackness of Mississippi's disgrace, with the barbaric boast of her former National Senator as to his lynchminder, comes a ray of the dawning Southern sentiment. Eighteen of Oxford's leading citizens join in a signed statement in the Vicksburg Daily Herald repudiating Senator Sullivan and his position on lynching. For the courts of law, they take their stand with "Judge Roane and the preachers." Police Commissioner Bingham, of New York City, said that 50 per cent of the city criminals were Jews. The Jews, angry, angry and powerful, brought pressure to bear. Mr. Bingham retracts and apologizes. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS. The campaign's "ginger jar" has been opened with a snap. President Roosevelt's letter on the Haskell Standard Oil disclosures was a "worker." President Roosevelt is for Taft There is to debate about where the President stands. New York was treated to a sight that was both unique and gratifying. It was a colored motorman and conductor, hailing from Detroit. There are few things more pleasing than to read a newspaper report of a meeting where certain orators, noted for long-windiness, upon being called to the platform, responded with a "brief address." Anyhow, the racket over the denation of Teacher Keys at Washington served to denounce the singular fact that it is possible for the three colored members of the Board of Education to get together on at least one proposition. D. Webster Davis puts up a good lecture on "Some People I Don't Like to Meet." He will oblige a friend if he would include in his little list the bumptious preacher who utilizes the invocation to work in a long speech that he was not asked to deliver. Negro expositions are "time-markers." The Negro National Fair at Mobile, Alabama, should be made a success. Showing a useful article that the black man has made beats a hundred speeches about what he is going to do. Mr. Bryan is pledged to omit from his campaign the things not mentioned in his Denver platform. The Negro was left out of that statement of party principles, and it stands to reason that he will fare no better should Mr. Bryan find his way to the White House. The President's vigorous support of Judge. Taft is in keeping with the proprieties of his high office. Mr. Roosevelt is a citizen of the United States and does not forfeit that citizenship when he entered the White House. He has policies upon the maintenance of which he feels that the well-being of his country depends. Would he not be derelict to his plain duty if he did not support might an army main the natural presentation of his policies? We are glad we have a Chief Executive who is not squainish about "proprieties when great issues are in the balance. The nation can trust the man who suits Theodore Roosevelt. "Mars," Henry Watterson, now blandly asking for Negro votes for Bryan in the North on the strength of the Brownville episode, neglects to call attention to the fact that it was the Democratic party that turned out every Negro soldier who misses arms in the Missouri and Dison line. The Democratic party abhors the sight of a colored man with a gun. How can Bryan rid himself of the Southern brigadiers upon whose anti-Negro legislation he must lasse his only hope for election? How could he be other than a sectional President, when he must stand as the exponent of the sentiment of a solid South as against a solid North as to the Negro's place in the body politic? If the Boston Guardin hopes to win votes away from the magnetic William Howard Tait it will be obliged to draw on heavier guns than windy harangue, tawdy rhetoric and pointless invective, Job type, ancient clippings from dailies, cut-outs and warmed-over editorials do not constitute a newspaper in this age of bustle. Ex Senator Sullivan, or Arkansas who promoted the lynching of a black man and bragged about it, is of course a Democrat. They are built that way. They fellows who imagine that a warrant to make laws likewise gives them license to break laws, would be treated to a shower of over-ripe hen fruit if they should show up in this town. The "grandfather clause" in the constitutions of the Southern States is unconstitutional, but a Democratic Supreme Court will never so declare it. The wise Negro will see it that a Republican President is kept at the helm as a guarantee that the court of last resort shall remain in the hands of our friends. Bryan cannot hope to come within earshot of victory without the solid South. The South is "solid" only through the gelabery of the black man of his birthright. No man can support Bryan without ciding in that robbery, literally and constructively. The Negro Democrats who profess to be working for "principle" do not forget to charge "interest," nor do they overlook any old job that may be an insight. The stilling Negro voter will find that "pointing" is a game that two can play at and the managers will have the Lost bet. The colored by their in North Carolina or any Southern State where culture may be obtained by qualifying under the property or educational clause should take advantage of his opportunity and get on the pollting list. There is no excuse for self-destructiveness. The completion of the fund for the memorial to George Dixon in New York and the unelected balance of $200 on the memorial to Frederick Dixon assures a suspicion that there may be more genuine glory in being a pachist than a statesman. Word comes from Louisville that the Negro voters are determined that William Howard Faxt shall have the electoral votes of the "Blue Grass State." If there is a failure to do so, the blame will not rest upon the black man's shoulders. Julie Faxt is a Unitarian, but, as a matter of fact, his religion isn't worrying anyone save those who haven't any. His faith, as reflected in his works, is quite satisfactory to reasonable folks. Dr. Boehler, Washington is to have the "time of his life" in the State of Mississippi. In the energetic Charles Ranki he has a plot that knows every foot of the channel that leads to the road things of that hospitable region Prof. DeBois will not accept a return engagement at Columbus, Ohio, for a Bryan at the Little of the can be tried to deliver a few mills' answer a long way with the cool people of thatburg Since the Lott Carey Baptist Convention, in session at Washington, so heartily endorsed Judge Taft the "Walt domestics" have ceased to claim the solid Baptist Church for Bryan After a careful canvass in Washington a representative of Tirr Agr has uncovered three Negroes who say they are for Bryan. It may be added, parenthetically, that two of them have no One, if not the host, opium grown off so far, in this campaign, was that uttered by Nicholas Longworth when he said, "It is running on his record while Bryan is running away from his record." It will be noticed that the few Negro "leaders" who have left the Republican party had very little standing there to leave, and have carried, no strength to the other side. The Republicans are not "skeered;" they have just gotten ready to "go some"—that's all. "Shall the people rule?" Watch the election return on the night of November 3. We are having good times. There is work for all who really want to work WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY William J. Bryan, the Democratic nominee, is a fine talker, and talks well at all times, but it takes votes to make Presidents.—Atlanta Independent. If by some lack of foresight or trickery the Republican party should be driven from power the Informer editor wishes to know of those Afro-Americans making so hard to bring it about, will the latter be able to succeed? Afro-Americans now be filled by members of their race? If so, give us the authority, and something reliable.—Cadiz (Ky.) Informer. The address of the Niagara Movement which was in session September 2, 1905, at Oberlin, Ohio, is now before us, and we confess that after reading the statements therein contained, we are astounded to note that absence of that statement would sound judgment that should be in evidence in all projects of this kind. The language used is intemperate and has the tendency to arouse ethnism among its own followers rather than to gain recruits from among those who have not yet enlisted in its told.—Richmond Planet. This newspaper does not pay any credence whatever to the political advice of a preacher. We respect him as a spiritual adviser, and that is all. Of course he can give his opinion as a man and citizen, but his leadership in that respect is disregarded in that field. There are enough laymen for political leadership, and whom we would delight to follow instead of the bishop or preacher—North RK (Va.) Lodge Journal and Guide. If Mr. Bryan reaches the White House he will want Congress to do for him, and so he will be obliged to do for Congress. He will and himself powerless if he vetoes appropriations right and left in order to redeem campaign deliverances about economy. Bill will be passed over his vetoes—for appropriation bills are always popular—while measures he desires will find hard sledding, and may not get through at all. Uncle Sam's establishment requires a good deal of money, and stunting it would not be economic, but in the end, the very opposite—Orangeburg (S. C.) People's Recorder The colored man is a respectable citizen by nature in every war from Bunker Hill to the Blo ho skirmish he has fought to preserve the nation he is a friend of the American white men who are the pillars of the republic—we need to stand together or some foreign power will subjugate this nation, we are for the right, but we will be for the wrong, ordered around by aliens and slaves will be to citizenship nor any other embodiments in this country. It might for right first and right must not be denied—Springfield Forum. The Democrats this year are up against the real Warriorz and in their efforts to "catch them" they are attempting to make an effort to get the Northern Negro vote and in the same delay deny the right to vote to the Warriorz. If the Democrats here is the problem, in the South where they are in and undated power, what would "they do" to the Negro voter of the North if they are in unobstructed power as they are in the South? Answer: "They would distract the Negro of the South with their facts standing out it is clear that the Negro of the North was a cause in the Democrats net." Wichita Searchlight These are questions dearer and closer to the hearts and the homes of the people than the tariff or other questions from the financial well being of the Warriorz there are yet those who may be detricted from the heart of the soke of human rights and for the safety of human liberty. There are things to think about in connection with the recent election in Maine, and it would be well for Republican party leaders to keep in mind the subject matter of this article while canvassing this New England political situation — Alexander City, Ala., Southern American. The chief danger behind Mr. Bryan is his radical devotion to untradition and unknowledge of government. All of his campaigns have been violent, demanding for more violent reforms. Governmental ideals as new as they are have been from the great part of his history, and his ideas have challenged with each storm a greater idea that Mr. Bryan his made to serve the White House. The affairs of a great nation like ours will not stand, unprotected, the turmoil of violent political changes based alone upon theory and experiment. Financial and business depressions, involving panic and demolition, must naturally follow presidential and legislative revolutions. And blind plea for retribution are not based upon principle which the people understand and hold settled convictions upon, is just as invise as to take stock in the wildest cambling scheme ever proposed. This applies to all classes of people and all number of interests. Mr. Bryan makes no cannol expression to the United States, for his party would collapse only an expression adverse to the interests of colored people. Mr Taft does not fear to say clearly that he believes in protection, opportunity and progress for the Negro Which I will have? - Colorado Statesman. Dr. M. A. Majors sits on the stupefaction correctly when he speaks. It is said Bryan addressed upwards of a hundred thousand people on Labor Day, and he waxed so eloquent that his contempt for the Negro and his respect for Var daman and Tillman fordade that he should cause mention the bapharein to be aware of the importance about things of less importance than the taking of human life by wholesale and yet this same Democrat, for whom a few fool Negroes are getting hoarse hollering, had such silent respect for the tyranny and oppression and the shoulding of blood in the taking of Negro life that it did not occur to him that he chance to tickle the black fools that are human beings in their cruel scramble at the Democratic back gate. Walters is sick, Dobois is sorry he said. Trotter is twisted; and Waldron, must be some, where down on his knees asks God to forgive his madness. There are times in the lexicon of fate when you don't have to say anything to the fool—he just quietly tries to slip back into his old 'faith place' without letting you know anything about it. The fellow that gets a good lie in somebody philosophy and slips home and hides under the bed. They are so smart that they forget that while Roosevelt disfranchised one hundred soldiers, that the Democratic party disfranchised over ten million Negroes. They forget that Roosevelt has shown a willingness to repent of his mistake, but a solid Democratic Senate and House is opposed to any leniency whatever being shown the Negro. Let them alone—the lynchers will bring them home alive, maybe!—Texas Freeman. The proposition of Watterson for the Democrats to advise the Negro in Ohio to divide his vote, when across the river, in West Virginia, the Democrats are demanding the disfranchisement of the Negro is inescible. What can the congeners of Mr. Watterson say in Maryland to induce the Negro to support Democrats, when they tried to shut him out in 1903 by the infamy of a grandfather clause, and being defeated arranged to renew the attempt in 1909. The Negro did divide his vote in Maryland in 1899 as an experiment and helped to elect a Democratic Governor and Legislature, and obtained, immediate results in "Jimi Crow" cars and several vicious attempts at, Negro disfranchisement. The Negro has a long memory and the white Southerner is full of sorris. The Southerner's head is right, but his head is disturbed on this race question by certain indelible centrifugal tendencies. With the old Southerner "Uncle Tom" and the "black Henry" those beloved types and Marseille memories beloved to the pleasant memories until today, and of the Ohio these types disappear and his and his cohorts of Negro captives will need to present something substantial If the Democratic party offers nothing they will get nothing. If they offer something, in view of their past questionable character, it will need the endorsement of men less variable than Bryan and more celebrated for achievement in the nights of man than Watterson to for the scenes and apprehensive following. Watterson is the "will-with the wisp," but the light of his lattern is the phosphorescence of rotting issues that can only lead into quagmires and mutations of defeat -St Louis Advance. BISHOP GRANT ON CAMPAIGN Saya Demerate Made a Mistake in Net Dollarizing for Negro Enfranchis- ment The following letter on the issues of the campaign is by the Rt. Rev. Abraham Grant, presiding Bishop of the A. W. E. Church. KANSAS CITY, Kan. Sept. 16, 1908. I do not believe the colored vote of the committee at extemst det the Republican Party of the Democrats. There are some few who will and themselves allied with the Prohibitionists or the Independent Party. In my opinion, the Democratic Party got one of the greatest opportunities but ever came within its reach while convention was in session at Denver. It was to control the colored vote. But it got a plank in the platform pledging itself to protect the colored people in their political and civil rights and at the same time promising that disfranchisement should cease, they would have divided the colored vote for all time to come, which, in the opinion of many, would better for all concerned and possibly more likely as the weaker and less fortunate should have ends in all the political parties. Realizing in some of the States that it would be better if they could consistently place themselves with the party that dominates their commonwealth, many Negroes have wished to see the day when the Democratic Party in its National declarations would hold out some inducement to the colored people. But that party adjourned its convention without a word to this class of citizens. A short time after its adjournment the Democratic convention in the State of West Virginia announced to the country that it favored the disfranchisement of the Negro and separation of the races while traveling in railroad cars. I think I am in a position to know that Governor Hoch, of Kansas, is quite correct when he states that Col. W. A Harris received a very large colored vote for Governor of this State two years ago. For this they receive an encouragement, and it does not even commit the Democratic organization in Kansas has given out agged statement, that Col. Harris would have been elected Governor had it not been for the "imprudent Negro vote" It is my opinion that if the white colored beats evenly divided as was the colored, Col. Harris would be governor of Kansas to day, and I am sure there are hundreds who concur in this opinion. With these things in view, we can truly believe that any number of our people will support the National Democratic ticket. And should we do so, it will be one of the strongest arguments that can be produced against us, and that we do not rise to the dignity of American citizenship; that we do not attach the proper importance to the war that the poor poor has to protect the political and civil rights; that we do not appreciate the uniting effort and sacrifices of some of the best men the world has ever produced; that we are not worthy of the many advantages secured to our people in the last two years by the Republican Party. In fact, it is unreasonable to leave, we tried the tried and to force ourselves upon those who are giving out state funds from the fact that our disfranchisement, and who have not expressed a desire to have our support and co-operation. I beg to remain. Yours respectfully, AMARAN GRANT. HERE AND THERE Some controversy has arisen concerning the matter contained in this column and censure in some cases has been placed on the publisher's of the paper because the contents did not just suit the person or persons concerned. It is not my intention to engage in any controversy with any one at any time. I am simply picking up the things that are dropped in the various sections where I may be. It has ever been a fact that the Negro glories only in the praises you may be stow upon him and can never see the value of criticising his shortcomings, or, moreover, that no one has the ability to criticize him, so perfect is he in his own estimation. Abundance of glory has, in the last few years, been heaped upon the Negro's head; some justly, but more often where the individual did not deserve it. So the unjustly surprising to see him squirm when one said to him that he is the "onlyest" thing in town. In the case of Mr. Anderson's place the writer of this column still holds to this argument that every person has a right to pursue the particular business of which he knows most. To boycott one man when there are dozens of other businesses in the same business is unjust. In there the entertainment going on at Mr. Anderson's place, and those whose morals are irproachable do not become affected by such things. Perhaps if a little more intelligence was displayed in the Negro pupil instead of the continuous begging for money, many who now go to questionable resorts might prefer going to church. In recent visit to church I heard the pastor give their congregation that they should give their money to the church even more readily than they should pay their rent. Who wants to go to church to hear such illogical rot? In the public conveyances and carriers of this cosmopolitan city one's attention is frequently attracted by the actions of Negro passengers who are claiming to be exercising "their rights." The casual observer of things takes only a short time to determine that the great mass of Negroes have little conception of what their rights are. New York City is famous for its large number of Negro passengers in common carriers the average Negro, to add to his general dislike by all classes, is famous in his imitation of the American "hoo" and inevitably points to the misbehavior of rowdy gangs of whites as an excuse for his actions, declaring that he has the ambition that others have to do as he pleases. Of course nowhere in this country do the authorities accept such a conclusion and there are reasons why they should not. There is nothing more disagreeable to any man, be he white or black, to be unnecessarily jostled or nearly pushed out of a seat because there may be an inch space spared somewhere, by some unseated, poor and dirtied person. Some consideration should be taken of one's apparel, and soiling or rushing in a dirty, finery should ever be uppermost in a mind to avoid. The writer has seen his travels many incidents which might have been avoided had the perpetrator exhibited just a little delicacy instead of presumptions arrogance. Many complain that there is little or no sympathy displayed by the average white man for the unfortunate Negro. Not many weeks ago it happened that a young colored man, who is engaged in trading and expressing, had the misfortune to be forced to seek his horse in the stable for a week, account of a strained ankle. He stable many other trainees keep their teams and when these white trainees found that their colored brother was unable to make his regular calls mornings and afternoons because of the sickness of his horse they arranged between themselves and their goods and deliver them for him that he might be able to hold his trade until he could obtain another horse. One after another he turns and kept the colored brother's business going for quite a week and without accepting compensation. The question immediately in the entire scene of all the Negroes who would have done as much for an unfortunate brother. The condition that has heretofore prevailed is that the majority of Negroes ever rejoice at the misfortunes of their ambitions brothers always too glad to give a final kick when they are down. Will it ever be thus? The much talked of annual festivity of Coney Island, known as the Mardi Gras, kept things lively at that greatest of summer resorts last week and the great pageant was one worthy of the attention of all classes of people. The display of the development of the various industries from the primitive state was in evidence of scientific principles was in evidence of the simple ology to the skyscrapers; the advanced method of travel from the city to the out mobile. In it all, strange to say, so far as the thought of the management of this affair is concerned, the Negro has taken no part in this vast development. Except in a single instance, that of a jockey, the Negro held his one "place" as "in hewer of wood or drawer and another appeared as a horse and another attendant. The jockey was a man of figure, however, and seemed to feel proud that he was the "only phebe on the beach." Can you blame him. Now and again and in rare instances some individual Negro seems to get on the right idea of business pursuits.

WALTON WHY THE SHOW CLOSED More than one colored person will go to the Family Theatre this week with the expectation of seeing John Rucker and his company; but they will be surprised to learn that the colored company is a thing of the past at the little Harlem playhouse, and that this weeks entertainment is being furnished by an aggregation of white performers. Attending the sudden closing of the colored company at the Family Theatre last Sunday evening are several unusual features. In the first instance it was understood by the management and the members of the company that the new show, which was first given last Monday week, was to run-for at least two weeks. Yet the following day the manager of the house issued an announcement that the company would close the coming Sunday evening and a white show would replace it. Upon questioning the members of the company about the sudden closing of the show, all evinced surprise to learn that they were to make their final bow to the public within a few days. Some had become so sure of remaining at the theatre for an indefinite stay, that they had seen fit to have their trunks, with street clothes therein, brought to their dressing rooms. Despite the decision so abruptly arrived at by Manager Bovyer to change the new policy of the house, it can be stated on good authority that the actions of the management were not prompted by bad business. Far from that, for the colored show had been playing to large houses at every evening's performance. While the colored company remained at the Family Theatre but three weeks it furnished an opportunity to decide one important question, to wit: "Will a colored show theatre pay in Manhattan?" Judging from the patronage accorded the colored company evening after evening it has been settled beyond any doubt that a colored theatre, properly conducted, will be a larger success in Manhattan than any other city in the country; but mark you, emphasis should be placed on the words "properly conducted." In the opinion of the writer the colored show would be at the Family Theatre to-day had it been properly managed. From the very beginning the company was in need of two capable men—a business, manager and a stage manager. All shows that are successes nowadays are due to the fact that there are efficient people in charge of each department. Each comedian should surround himself with capable men who can assist him in staging the show as well as conduct the business affairs of the company. That has been the success of the Pekin Theatre. A comedian has all he can attend to when he consumes most of his time studying how to be funny. There are so many vexations things to do in the managing and the staging of a show that the comedian must be a wonder, indeed, if he can personally attend to all departments and make a success out of each. George Cohan is a very popular comedian; a young man who writes his show, composes his songs, stages the piece and plays the principal part, but who could charge George Cohan with being a very funny fellow? In every show in which he has appeared he always has comedians around him who produce far more laughs than he? On the other hand, who is funnier than Bert Williams? Occasionally, he will assist in writing a song, but after that he knows as much about what is going on in the show as the advance man, who gets an opportunity to see the members of the company once in a great while. As Williams and Walker surround themselves with a capable staff of assistants they, particularly Bert Williams, have time to give copiousable attention to their parts. As the result they are a big artistic success. There is no one person who can accomplish great things without assistance, and this is something some of our comedians must learn. We can't do it all alone; we need help, but those whom we get to assist us should be the best. Then with several people who are efficient in their respective departments the combination is sure to be a winning one. The writer deems it opportune to dwell at length on the above subject, hoping that the next time a colored show opens in New York City for an indefinite run that the consideration will be given to the official staff surrounding the leading comedian or comedians. Had J. Ed. Green been stage manager for John Rucker, and another competent man conducted the business affairs for the company from the beginning, the writer is sure the company would have remained at the Family Theatre for many months. However, it requires more than a funny comedian to make a show a big drawing card. He is not on the stage all the time. the stage in the time. When the minstrel show opened the first week it was conceded by all that the minstrel first part was very good—much better than the after-piece, which could have been staged better. Then, when the new show was put on last week, it developed that the after-piece was far the superior of the minstrel first part: Of all the cities in the United States the theatre-going public in Manhattan is the most critical. The people demand an even show, and when you give a "half, and half" performance, they don't take any too kindly to it. The performances given at the Family Theatre were good in spots, but with better stage management could have been good in their entirety. It is true, as some have charged, that the writer painted, a better picture of the show than he should have done, but in all ventures that are new and commendable there should be a certain amount of lenency shown by both the press and the public. What is needed in New York City is a colored theatre. It has been conclusively proven that such a venture will be a profitable one. Manager Boyyer, of the Family Theatre, has gone on record as saying that he is willing to turn his playhouse over to another colored company, provided capable managers are secured to carry on the business of the aggregation. It is to be regretted that the minstrels did not remain longer at the Family Theatre; but it is to be far more regretted that so much dissatisfaction, bickering and misunderstandings were in evidence. Yet we are satisfied that Manhattan will support a colored theatre, and the next colored company that is so fortunate to get an opportunity to play in New York City indefinitely will be able to profit by the mistakes of others. MINSTRELS AT HUBERS. Joe Moore's Company Open Fall En- agement—A Good Program. When some of the dialogue is put into the waste basket and a little more ginger is shown by both the male and female members of the company. Joe Moore will have a hand of minstrel men and misses of which he can be justly proud. Monday evening Moore's New Orleans Minstrels opened their regular fall season at Huber's Museum, and it goes without saying that one was fortunate to get a seat in any portion of the house. Judging from the galaxy of female performers with the company Joe Moore evidently employed each minstrel miss with an eye for beauty, as they all make very good stage appearances—at least. But the majority of these should wake up during the performance. One would imagine they were either thinking of some recent spat they had with their affinities or that they had in mind the swell fall dresses they saw in the window at Macy's. Thanks to Al Watts the songs are very well staged and there are some good singing numbers on the bill. It was very pleasing to hear a few new songs even if most of the concerted numbers reminded you of something you had heard many years ago. The show opens with the usual minstrel first part. After the opening chorus Annie Smith sings "Pride of the Prairie," assisted by chorus, and makes good from the start. She is followed by James Worles, who is singing "When You Wore Your Pinafore." This is the best song he has had for some time, and the number was well received. Minnie Robinson was kind enough to give the big audience a new song, "Play That Rag," which is a very rug-like piece, by the way, with Salome trimming. As either the singing, the music or the dancing caught on with the audience she was compelled to respond to an encore. Inst why Sallie Lee is not singing ballads in some big company is difficult to understand, considering the sweet and sympathetic voice she possesses. She is singing a ballad entitled "Yesterday," a pretty song that did not suffer because of her rendition. Al Watts also has a song that has not been taken in charge as yet by the music organs. It is called "I'm That Man," and he gets the best out of it. Loyd Henderson's singing of "Exit" is responsible for several encores and his dancing also wins him favor. Poor "Exit" is being overworked these days! In the old Bradley and Miller furnish the entertainment. They seemed to cause much merriment Monday evening. They have an act that would be stronger if they would leave out some of the talk—also such old jokes as "Me and some more white men." You can't expect to make people laugh with Rip Van Winkle jokes. The two main songs of the team are "Take Your Time" and "Dumah." "Uncle Eph's Return" is the name of the afterpiece, De Van, the bass singer and Mildred Creed are the tw. solists. De Van has a good bass voice, but in his song, "Old Black Joe," he has the song pitched too low, which makes it less effective than it would be otherwise. Mildred Creed's moon song is well rendered with chorus. It is the best staged piece of the show, and the electrical effects are not bad. Others in the show are Mamie Further, Midget Price and Nettie Washington who will appear as soloists next week. There could be another comedian in the company, and a man on Billy Ward's order would greatly strengthen the comedy end. P. S.—Thanks to Joe Moore for referring to THE AGE in the minstrel first part. HAS LEFT THE SOUTH: Smart Set Company Makes Jump from Atlanta to Worcester. This is the last week of the Smart Set company in the South. Owing to the inability of the company to draw large crowds, which is necessary with such a large company, Manager Barton has seen fit to cancel all the Southern time. The show played Atlanta and immediately left for Worcester. Mass., where it opens its Eastern tour October 3. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1. 1908 BOSTON, Sept. 30.—Williams and Walker will complete their fourth week's stay at the Orpheum Theatre Saturday evening. They have enjoyed signal success in the "Hub" city, and they will close their engagement with many regrets. Friday evening the comedians will have an anniversary, celebration at which they will sing many old songs used by them years ago. Week after next the company will return to New York, opening at the West End Theatre for a two weeks' engagement. IN CLEVELAND THIS WEEK Cole and Johnson at Lycum Theatre—Notes About Members of Company. CLEVELAND, Sept. 30.—At the Lycum Theatre this week Cole and Johnson are appearing in their new musical show, "The Red Moon." If the company meets with the same success as in Pittsburgh last week it will play to large houses here nightly. Some notes from the show: Abbie Mitchell celebrated her twenty-fifth birthday September 25 at the Royal Hotel. She received several pretty presents. Among those present at the celebration were Bob Cole, J. Rosamond Johnson, Lula Coleman, James Reese Europe and Charles A. Hunter. Herbert Sutton and the "Swampton Academy Sextette," composed of Messrs. Frank F. Brown, William E. Phelps, Louis Mitchell, "Chappy" Watson and Bob Young, are making a hit with "Life Is a Game of Checkers." Applicant: "Can you use a good chorus girl?" Manager: "With what show were you?" Appliant: "Cole and Johnson's Red Moon Company." Manager: "Were you in the Ada song? Appliant: "Yes, sir, in the first rank" Manager: "Here, sign your contract and name your salary!" Cole and Johnson, Abbie Mitchell and Fannie Wise form a quartette unbeatable. Anna Cook Pankey is scoring a big hit in her rendition of "The Bleeding Moon." Theo, L. Pankey has, in his new song, "On the Road to Monterey," a successor to his last success, "Gay Luneta." "Pank" is one of the few successful colored juvenile. Athur Talbott and his father and brothers are entertaining Mrs. Mollie Dill, Elizabeth Williams and Miss Fannie Wise this week. "Old John Lowdry" is at home. "Nuff said!" Captain Louis Mitchell has ordered a practice for the C. and J. Giants baseball team this week, Frank Fowler Brown, Samuel Craig, Kane (the drummer), Benny Jones, Henry Gout and Andrew Tribble have been working the knots, kninks and crooks out of their arms. Why wouldn't Cole and Johnson have the best ever? Just look over this bevy of breezy beauty, bubbling and bursting with music, mirth and merriment: Bessie Oliver Brown, Daisy Brown, Leona Marshall, Pearl Taylor, Bessie Tribble, Lula Coleman, Bessie Simms, Lottie Gee, Blanche Deas, Mamie Butler, Marion Potter, Millie Dean, Marie Young, Pauline Hackney, Marie Lucas, Mattie Harris, Reo Delk and Tilly Smith. Andrew Tribble as "Miss Lilly White" and Henry Gout as "Old Bill Gibson" are really truly and surely funny. Watson, Tunstall and Craig are the "law," some law. The Grand Old Man, Sam Lucas, is still as spry and funny as ever. All he talks of is that diamond ring George Walker gave him recently. IN VIRGINIA AND NORTH CAROLINA. Tronbadours in the South—Notes About the Show. SOUTH BOSTON, Va. Sept. 29.—The "Black Patti Troubadours" played here Monday, Route for the rest of the week: Danville, Va. September 29; Winston, N. C. September 30; Mt. Airy, N. C. October 1; Greensboro, N. C. October 2; Concord, N. C. October 3. Some notes from the show: H. Gus Hall sings Policeman's song, with chorus, from the "Pirate of Penzance," also supporting Black Patti this season. George Day, in his rendition of his tenor roles, has surprised his most intimate associates by his seemingly little effort. He is in his right place. The show is rapidly assuming a "fine compact bunch of merriment, and from the encores a fine successful trans-continental tour is assured. Sara Venable, formerly with the "Smart Set," has proven herself an able impersonator of the tough-girl part. She is full of life and ginger throughout the entire show. "Shin" Henderson is making good in monologue and songs. Jimmie Godman closes the oilio with his musical but odd instruments. Besides he displays bits of comedy that flavors of 1908 Broadway product. Ada Alexander, with her phenomenal harpine, proves a rich and valuable asset to the singing numbers. Will Cook, who acts in the capacity of stage manager (a difficult position in any company), has the respect of all in a way that stamps him as a theatrical diplomat of the first water, and also one who uses rare judgment at all times. Judge Milton, our genial chef, makes the company feel as guests of any first-class hotel when he distributes his viands daily and too much praise cannot be given to the care and wholesomeness of the food he prepares. Mrs. Jeanette Green is doing nicely with the company in principal parts and also under her watchful eye, all costumes worn on the stage are always immaculate and kept in first-class condition. Misses Ruby Taylor, Daisy Brown and Beatrice Hodge deserve special mention as conscientious and painstaking workers in the company. Doc Allen, the stage carpenter, handles the show in that businesslike manner that there is no hitch at any time whatever, and he has that dignified appearance that daily he is taken to be the owner and manager, Mr. R. Vocekel, of Vocekel and Nolan. T. Corwell, the musical director of this show, became popular in a minute. Having been introduced to the company at 10.45 a. n. and 10.46 be treated all the ladies in the entire show to ice cream and cake—an instant hit, and the men to wet goods and cigars. His slightest, wish is the company's musical command. A PUPIL ON ZACHERWITSCH. Clarence White Studying Under Great Vineland-Norco Funds Clarence Cameron White, who left the United States last June to study the violin in Europe, has become the pupil of Zacherwitsch, the great Russian violinist, who has highly complimented the young American musician and predicts for him a bright future. Through the influence of Coleridge Taylor, the composer, who gave him a letter of introduction to Zacherwitsch, he secured an interview with the eminent violinist September 15. Zacherwitsch asked Mr. White to play a number of selections, and after he had finished Zacherwitsch was so pleased that he offered to take him as a pupil for two years. Zacherwitsch, who is a protege of Tschaikowski, the great Russian composer, is considered the best violin instructor in London, and has only a few pupils. However, he offered to take Mr. White in charge and, promised that within two years he would have him ap- [Picture of a man in a military uniform]. CLARENCE C. WHITE pear at one of the big symphony concerts in London. Zacherwitsch usually charges $7.50 a lesson, but offered to give Mr. White lessons for much less, so great was his desire to make him his pupil. It was with much hesitancy that Mr. White informed Zacherwitsch that he had but little money and would not be able to begin his studies at once. He was informed, however, that the money could be paid October 1, and the second payment December 1. At a greatly reduced sum and with a promise of future payment the great violinist took the young man, in charge and the latter is getting along unusually well in his lessons. He has written to Mine. E. Azalia Hackley, who offered the foreign scholarship, and who is responsible for Mr. White's presence in Europe, asking that $20 be sent at once so he can meet the payment the first of October. Mme. Hackley is very much enthused over Mr. White's good fortune and has sent letters to many who are delinquent in their pledges to the foreign scholarship to kindly send remittances at their earliest conveniences. According to Mme. Hackley she has made repeated requests of Negroes prominent in public life to assist her in making her foreign scholarship plan a success, but the majority of them fail to appreciate the great good they can do by lending their financial aid. The writer hopes that in the case of Clarence C. White, wherein a great Russian violinist has become so enthusiastic over his work that he has volunteered to instruct him at a price ridiculously low and guarantees him a public appearance within two years, that all Negroes throughout the country will contribute to the foreign scholarship fund which will assist Clarence White in his endeavor to be a violinist of whom his race will be proud. "THE PRINCE OF ABYSSINIA." Rendered in Baltimore at Albaugh's Theatre—Well Attended. Last Friday evening nearly every seat at Albaugh's Theatre, on North Charles street, was taken. The occasion was the rendition of the new play, "The Prince of Abyssynia," was was written and personally directed by Mr. Lewis H Murray, a teacher in our public schools and a young man of exceptional dramatic and operatic talent. Such an audience as it was, constituted a high testimonial of public appreciation of his seldom work. It would be difficult to single out those who especially distinguished themselves, as the whole performance was one of delight and pleasure from beginning to end, and each one most credibly performed his part. But we cannot refrain from directing attention to Miss Ella Chaplin, who fairly brought down the house by her posing and singing of the popular song, "Won't You Be My Honey," Miss Chaplin has a sweet and attractive voice and contributed her audience. On a par with Miss Chaplain was the attractive little Miss Cora Linberry in the song, "When We're Ma-double-rise of" Miss Linberry in voice and gestures handsomely acquitted herself. Very much her equal was Mr. Ernest Johnson, who took part in the duet with her. The proceeds of the affair are for the benefit of the Children's Day Nursery Association, "Bon-bon Buddy," the character sustained by Mr. Lewis H. Murray, deserves special mention. NEW ORLEANS: NEW THEATRE. To Open About January, 1908—Beautiful Playhouse to Near 102 Persons. NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 30—On or about January 10, 1909, the colored Pythians of the State of Louisiana will throw open the doors of a first-class and modern theatre to the colored population of the South, and extend to them a privilege that has never been given to them before. The house be absolutely fireproof. The floors of the auditorium and balcony will be of concrete and the entire building will be constructed with iron, steel, stone, terra cotta and brick, and the theatre will be located in the six-story Pythian Temple. On the lower or orchestra floor there will be a seating capacity of 450. This floor will be fitted with a ladies' lounging room and gentlemen's smoking room, both to be up to the standard-and to meet every convenience of the patron. On the balcony floor there will be a seating capacity of 250; and it will be fitted up with a ladies' lounging room and gentlemen's smoking room, the same as the lower floor, and to be handsomely fitted for the comfort of the patron. Of course the gallery is the one will have a seating capacity of 130. Four boxes; to be beautifully fitted up and meet every comfort of the patron, will provide seating space for 32 persons, making a total seating capacity of 892. The stage measurements are as follows: 51 feet 6 inches in width by 26 feet 6 inches in depth; proscenium arch 25 feet wide by 20 feet 6 inches high. These dimensions will provide ample room for the "settings" and "props" of the average company. The performers will be provided with eight fully equipped dressing rods, and it shall be the aim of the management not to allow this portion of the house to go lacking, because it is believed that the "thespian" should be given all the conveniences and comforts within reason, as by so doing we get better results. The management wants the performer to feel that he can go South; and receive proper treatment and know that New Orleans has provided a play house which meets every comfort for the patron and player. New Orleans and Louisiana Pythians feel proud of having established something that has never been attempted before by the race; then again they feel proud of this house, as it offers to its patrons greater comfort than some of the other theatres in this city offer to their white patrons. They are proud of the fact that for its size it will not be surpassed by any play house in the country, as neither time nor money will be spared toward making it a monument to the Negro race. This theatre extends to the colored people of the South a privilege that has never been extended to them before, that is applying to the box office, and selecting any seat in the house, and the privilege of being entertained by a good company, in a house meeting every requirement of comfort, and grand in all its appointments. NEW MUSICAL ORGANIZATION To Be Known as the Musical Aid Anso clation - Its Objects. At the residence of Miss Ray Tucker, 26 West 134th street, several musical artists of New York City recently met and effected an organization to be known as the Musical Aid Association.

The park was beautifully decorated. lighted with a large are light in the back which read: "Welcome Hotel Bellmen." Before 9:30 the crowd commenced gathering and by 12:30 it was impossible to dance with comfort, and wine corks were popping in all directions. The sweet music from the New-Amsterdam orchestra continuously made it impossible for the feet to keep still, as Mr. Harry Knight, the old reliable, was on the whistle. We cannot say too much for the president, Mr. W. O. Murphy, who was kept busy trying to see that everybody had a good time. The order was very good, according to the crowd, which was one of the largest in several years. Quite a number of guests from the different hotels were represented in the boxes during the evening. Brooklyn and Jersey were well represented. The out-of-town guests were as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Agrinis Davis and Miss Lucy Fields, of Boston; Mr. and Mrs. Chas, A. Brown, of Philadelphia; Mr. Thomas B. Kelley, of Atlanta, Ga.; Miss Hattie Darnell, of Alexander, Na.; and Mrs. Preumar, of New London, Conn. Wheelmen's Barn Dance It was the consensus of opinion of the thou- and old girls that the lambish big dance produced for all the greatest quota of fun that they had experienced for many years. Even the fittest hopes of the club were surpassed as they saw group after group enter in their quiet costumes, which showed that the spirit of the event had taken strong hold on all. Only three quarters of the assemblage were "docked" for the occasion and the brown wetsuits and jumper, together with the gun, former hats, and red bandannas with which all the club members were attired were most admirably set off by the red, blue and pink gingham frocks and embellishments of the hats. And the hat with which the hall was decorated appalled so strongly to the merrymaking that it was seen torn down to form mats in the various corners of the hall. Where the "boys" and "girls" had been Not most of us know that the music as rendered by Craig Craig, those old melodies which we saw in us the spirits of years gone by, made us once more do that gay famous trip. The prophet had already told us that this born dance would go down in history as "the event of 1908" but now we felt assured that so long as those straw momentum, which everybody carried away, shall last so long and longer will be remembered the fun we had at the bunnie Wholeman's leap year barn dance.

Hunton as the principal speaker. Mrs. Hunton's subject was "Sage Needle Essentials to Success," which she discussed in a most clear and instructive manner. Mrs. Hunton was followed by Miss Elizabeth A. Ross, who gave a retrospective view of Y. M. C. A. work and its auxiliary forces. Editor Moore, of TUZ, New York Ariz. and secretary R. P. Hamlin also made brief addresses. The report of the auxiliary was read by Miss Lydia Baker, secretary-elect. Mr. Albert Williams was accompanist.

PICKE PALMIST CLAIRV 324 1931 BROAWAY Miller BOSTON, September 30—The Boston primary elections were held last week and many surprises were sprung upon the mentors of politics. Perhaps the most interesting and disappointing of all contests to the Negroes of Greater Boston was the failure of the voters of the Second Middle-sex District to nominate Mr. Clement G. Morgan for the General Court. Mr. Morgan had the 'entire' support, of his Negro constituents, and was well supported by the whites in his own ward, but failed to land, although preeminently fitted for the position by training in school and in politics. Mr. Morgan's presence on the field caused some of his opponents to resort to questionable methods to win votes. He will not retire from politics, however, but will investigate every apparent breach of the Luce Act. Over in Ward 18, Boston, another contest was waged between the Negro aspirants for nomination to the General Court—simply nomination, and that's all, for Ward 18 is, by the way, waste land in Massachusetts, is overwhelmingly Democratic. Mr. Joshua Crawford volunteered a year ago to bear the Republican stand in the contest and succeeded in securing more votes than any Republican who had before been courageous enough to try for an election. This fact makes him appear to be the logical candidate for the support of his constituents. Yet he was opposed by the Charles Sumner Club, a Negro organization who advanced Mr. Chas. Alexander. Both men were named. Mr. Crawford received the larger vote and sustained his popularity with the voters of his district. If a political miracle can be wrought in November both men will be elected. Mr. Butler R. Wilson was defeated in Ward 12 for nomination to General Court. One of the chief surprises, of the campaign was the almost successful attack upon the machine in Ward 10. The Negro lieutenants, Mr. Chas, W. M. Williams, clerk of the Juvenile Court, and Councilman Henderson Allston, have manipulated affairs so cleverly in that district that the sway of the machine has been most formidable.

The machine won out by only thirty votes. Mrs. Dr. Val D.

White has gone to Marshall, Tex., to teach English at Wiley University. Mr. White's activity in the commercial and social life of Boston will render his absence extremely palpable.
