CHICAGO, October 5.—The first big political meeting under the auspices of the Negro voters has been held and to the sore disappointment of false prophets and calamity howlers, it was a tremendous success. The speaker of the occasion was none other than Mr. Sherman, the candidate for Vice-President on the Republican ticket. So much has been said about the dullness and apathy of the Negro in the present campaign and so much claimed by the anti-Republican few, that there was some little apprehension that the meeting might be a "frost" and attended with hissing and other demonstrations of disapproval of the Republican ticket. But there was an entire absence of these disturbances. The large auditorium of the Bethel A. M. E. Church, where the meeting was held, last week, was crowded almost to suffocation. If the church had been twice as large it would have been the same. The face of Mr. Sherman beamed gleefully on that vast concourse of as fine a looking audience as ever greeted an emperor. Mr. Shu-man seemed to realize from the appearance of the audience that he was addressing people of intelligence and people who have recently been doing some serious and independent thinking as to their duty and responsibility in this campaign. His address was a compliment to any people because he reminded that the people were there to be instructed and not to be amused. Every Republican of both races felt greatly relieved at this manifestation of the old-time interest of the average Negro voter in the "G. O. P." The handful of anti-Republican agitators, who began their noise four months ago felt very much chagrined and cast down over this evidence of the Negro's persistent loyalty to the Republican party. The position of the false proponent was variable one and specially so in this instance. The morbid desire to see things go wrong and old ideals thrown down and discarded, in certain to produce a depression of agitates. The gloomy prognostigator creates for himself a castle of gloom and is generally compelled to live in it all alone. One of the interesting visitors to Chicago during the past week was Lieut. George S. Thompson of the 28th U. S. Infantry. Lieut. Thompson has rendered distinguished service as a scout in the Philippine Islands. He paid a glowing tribute to Secretary Taft. He says that M. Taft's name in the Philippine Islands is a synonym of justice and kindness. He is almost the only officer in the Philippine Navy that knows them liberty and progress. The Lieut. says that Mr. Taft is the one American who seems to be absolutely free from the "hereditary taint" of color prejudice; that he has met him socially in the most exclusive functions in the Philippine Islands, and the Secretary has never exhibited in the slightest degree that peculiar form of American prejudice toward all the dark-skinned men. Referring again to political matters, your correspondent has heard from direct and reliable sources some bad things about the mercenary Negro politician. It is very difficult for the Negro officer to resist a respect to obey any consideration when he comes behind those whose grafting hands are always out for money. It really seems that the ordinary leader is always more interested in "ways and means" than he is in issues. There ought to be some loud protest registered against this so-called political leader. It places the everyday Negro voter in a pititable condition to be represented at headquarters by such mercury fellows. Other races make much of the issues of the hour that may affect their people's interests. Our leaders make much of the amount of money it is possible to get to do things which are not done. For this reason it will be noted that the Negro is never called to headquarters to give his views on political issues. It is to be hoped that in due time there will be found a group of colorful men whose understanding of pro-terrorism will be such that his adypt will well as his paid service will be appreciated in the counsels of the party. I have been told of men, who have been taken up to the Republican leadership with company and introduced as wonderful men in what they had achieved in information, etc., yet came away astonished through the only value placed upon THE NEW YORK AGE. thir importance was the offer of a few dollars or a promise of money to quiet the demands of their follower. 'The formal opening for the winter's work of the Frederick Douglass Center was held last Tuesday evening. Many prominent people of both races were in attendance with a serious purpose to strike the organization mean to strike the people of this Center, than ever before. The program consisted mostly of reports made by Chicago people who had been in attendance at some of the big national gatherings held during the summer months, notably the National Business League, Physicians and Surgeons' National Convention and the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs. Dr. Hall spoke for the Business League, showing what a job Dr. Washington (who was a medical device that tend to make the Negro people a factor in our national development. Dr. A. W. Williams explained the work and progress of the National Association of the colored physicians, and Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams spoke of the joys and sorrows of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, and gave a resume of the program as carried out, and the high purposes attached to it. Dr. William E. Manuel gave an interesting account of her rather strenuous work during the summer in connection with her studies in the Scholz of Cities and Philanthropy. RALPH W. TYLER AS AUDITOR. Han Made Many Promotions Since His Conversion With Navy Department. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 7.—An example of the value of having the right kind of a race leader on guard is found in the unprecedented record made by Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, who as Auditor for the Navy Department, has been able to do a great deal for worthy young Negro men and women in the year and a half that he has held the office. He is generous to a fault, and in many instances has sought out clerks of known competence and without solicitation on their part made it possible for them to secure promotions that for one reason or another, had been denied them. In a single year and a fraction he has appointed five colored clerks in his office, and has had one colored laborer and two messengers promoted to clerkships. He has promoted one colored clerk to 1,000 and one clerk to 1,600, one from $1,200 to $1,600, one from $1,000 to $1,200, and one from $900 to $1,000 per annum, besides saving an accomplished young woman from being dropped from the service by asking that she be transferred to his office. Mr. Tyler took up personally with Secretary of War Taft the case of Chapain W. T. Anderson, of the 10th Cavalry, and secured his promotion to the rank of major, carrying with it an annual Chapain Anderson's hails from Cleveland, O. and is now stationed in the Philippines. Going again in person to Secretary Taft, Mr. Tyler intermediate in the case of Major John R. Lynch, a veteran paymaster in the army, who had been ordered before the retiring board. Through the persuasive powers of the Auditor, Major Lynch was undisturbed, and is still in the service. Later, he intermediate with the Inspector in the Immigration Bureau from being discharged. In the latter incident, he joined with Register W. T. Vernon, of Kansas, and Mr. Whitfield McKinlay, of South Carolina, Mr. Tyler has rendered other conspicuous service for members of his race, but these suffice to clinch the argument that the Negro voters of the country owe it to themselves to keep on guard of their forces. As a prisoner at Mr. Tyler, who can and will take his time and exert his influence to help men and women who are unable to help themselves, in the manner indicated. NEGRO DEMOCRATS ON THE RUN Bishop Clinton says the Waldron-Wallop Movement Has Spent Its Force. NEW ALANY, Ind., Sept. 30.—The Rt. Rev. George W. Clinton, of Charlotte, N. C. bishop of the Fourth District of the A. M. E. Zion connection, is visiting Mr. Thomas H. Johnson, the commissioner of military and political colleges of Southern Indiana. Bishop Clinton expressed himself as pleased with the outlook for Republican success in Indiana and the Middle West, and thinks the rank and file of the Negro voters will rally more and more strongly to Judge Taft as they become more familiar with his friendly attitude toward Negro progress and civic equality. He has been woefully misrepresented in his campaign of bishop-managers are wise, he thinks, in exerting themselves to correct the impression that has been created by the active opposition. He gave as his opinion that the Negro-American Political League, which was organized to defeat the candidacy of Judge Taft, has about spent its force. AGAINST "JIM CROWISM." Procede Against Railroads that Determine Against Negroes. WASHINGTON, D.C., October 7—President Roosevelt has given new evidence that he is determined that the railroads of the country that take advantage of their prerogative to separate the races shall conform to the law requiring equal accommodations to all who pay the same fare. The Interstate Commerce Commission, through its attorney, has instituted proceedings in the Middle District of Tennessee for an injunction, to restrain the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railroad from further disobedience to the Commission's orders, and, also, from further discrimination between colored and white passengers by the Railroad, by the President in the early part of the preser year against thin and other railroads which have been most injunct in their discrimination. AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION For twenty-one years this publication has been issued once a week under the name of THE NEW YORK AGE. It assumed that title in September, 1897, after a more or less checkered career as The Freeman, The Globe and The Nummer. The last named was the original germ or root of the trouble and dated its inception back to 1858. Chief among its promoters was the late George Parky, with a corps of volunteers, embarking W. G. Christopher, F. P. Hayes, T. T. Symmons, Pierre Burgert, J. S. Stokley, Irene B. Johnson and others. With the addition of W. W. Sampom and T. Thomas Fortune on proprietors and the change of name to The Globe, it was put upon a more substantial basis, as a self-containing business enterprise. It grew steadily in influence and efficiency as an organ of race news and opinion, until its suspension in 1864. To its functions and responsibilities succeeded The Freeman, under the sole proprietorship of T. Thomas Fortune, until that changed three years later to THE AGE, with R. Fortune, Jr. and Jerome Fortune, no associate in the management. Fellowship among the management in 1867 came the retirement of T. Thomas Fortune, who was succeeded by Fred. R. Moore. Through all these changes the policy of the paper has been to serve the interests of the race, in such wise as seemed to premise the greatest good to the greatest number. Always advertising and seeking to further these movements and individuals that were engaged in the work of race betterment in every field of moral and material development. The results of such a policy, while slow, have been manifest in the steady growth of THE AGE as a business enterprise. Starting in 1897 with a force of but five men it now requires three or four times that number to do the actual work of getting out the weekly issue. While the four-page sheet containing twenty-four columns has been enlarged to six eight and sometimes twelve pages, comprising fifty-six to eighty-four columns, the advertising has swelled from scant two columns in ten or twelve times that number. In fact, the advertising column alone would furnish a faithful index to the growth of business enterprises and material development among the race in New York City. The mere fact of the existence of such a class paper on THE AGE upon a self-amalgamating basis in such a great city as New York in an evidence of the ability and willingness of the people to whom it enters to support race enterprise. It requires only the multiplication of that support by ten or twenty to give them all that they should have in the way of adequate journalistic representation. For the management of THE AGE is not satisfied with the small measure of growth and improvement it has so far been enabled to score. It is always reaching out to extend its plant and better its service in every possible situation, particularly largely on the measure of support it receives. Interactions and abortions would be an obstacle to its coming of age. THE AGE pledges itself now to the cause of race service and development, and here records its deep sense of appreciation of the stamina support of its many readers and subscribers during the post. That these may continue and multiply as the years increase and so enable the management to produce a paper ever growing in interest and attractiveness, while at the same time affecting more chances for employment to the youth of the race, in an inspiration not altogether natural. Speak—Bryan Quoted in. Recent Cooper Union Speech—Many Able Speakers Address Voters WATERBURY, Oct. 6.—At the rousing rally held under the auspices of the Colored Republican Club in this city, last Friday evening, the Hon. John C. Dancy, Recorder of Deeds, was the principal speaker. Mr. Dancy lived up to his reputation of being an eloquent speaker on several occasions stirred the audience by his oratory. James E. Kefford, secretary of the Negro Business League, presided. In introducing Congressman Lilley, candidate for Governor, Mr. Keford, said: "It gives me very great pleasure to be here to night in the capacity in which I am. I feel that this is one of the most important events of my life. To have the pleasure to stand upon this platform, being the son of an ex-slave, and introduce such distinguished gentlemen as these are here to night who are going to stand down by the immortal Lincoln, and agitated and perpetuated by our Grant, our Garfield, our Harrison and McKinley and that stalwart and fearless American, Theodore Roosevelt, is without question one of the best times of my life. "When my mind runs back 30 years and I review myself a little barefoot, ragged, ignorant boy on a Virginia plantation, living in an environment fully in keeping with my condition, with no indication of future, no intimation of opportunity in life, no advancement in view, and contrast that time with the present, I feel that I have many things to be thankful for. "And I am fully cognizant of the fact that I have been wafted from that condition to this, upon the waves of the high, lofty, time-honored principles of the Republican party and M. J. Byrne, George L. Lilley and William H. Taft all stand for the perpetuation of those principles. Now I take great pleasure in the need of not introduction) but in presenting you the next Governor of the State of Connecticut in the person of George L. Lilley." Mr. Lilley was greeted with a burst of applause and smilingly entered into the spirit of Mr. Kefford's introduction by stating that he himself had led pretty much the same kind of a life during his early boyhood. "Born on a small farm in the countryside, I worked for a living, for I pledged milk from about 8 o'clock in the morning until 8, went to school, returned to do the form chorus until 7 or 8 at night and kept this up seven days a week and 365 days in the year." He continued as follows: "It is a great pleasure to meet this large body of colored Republicans, among whom I number some of my stauchest friends. In the years that I have been in public life they have been my constant supporters, and I am glad of this opportunity again to thank them for the confidence they have had in me. My great success in the Democratic party is great in the from the States. Its leaders there, both in Senate and House, are Southerners of the most fiery stamp. If the Democratic party should be put in power on the fourth of March, next, how much consideration do you colored-men think you would get from 'Pitchfork Ben' Tillman or John Sharp Williams and the forces they lead? "The Democratic candidate for President, William J. Bryan, dare not open his mouth in this campaign on the Negro question. He would like you men to vote for him, but he dare not say a word in your favor for fear of turning enemies, the most Southerning of the party against himself. A thousand hornets would be as soothing balm to him compared with the trouble he would bring down upon himself if he dared to say as much as a single word for the colored man or as much as intimated that he would like his support. THE NEW YORK AGE IS OF EARLY this publication has been issued once in AGE. It assumed that title in September to The Freeman, The Globe and The Times, or root of the trouble and dated its inception the late George Parks, with a corpus of P. Hayen, T. T.

John C. Dancy was then introduced. After expressing his "unbounded felicity" at being able to be present at the rally, he referred to his visit six years ago when he was introduced by General Kellogg, father of City Attorney John P. Kellogg. "I am a Republican;" he continued, "and I enjoy that distinction not because I am the son of a slave, but because I was a slave myself. I am a Republican because it was the Republican party which made it possible for me to be anything. We it not for the Republican party. I would still be a slave unless I should have taken the courage to escape across the line to Canada. "Some of my people have told me that the Democratic party has been as friendly to the Negro as the Republicans have. But they haven't stopped to consider that splendid galaxy of men in the Republican party who stood by us throughout the contention that led to the civil strife. On the one hand was the Republican party for slavery, for after all that was the main issue—the Negro. It is true that were other broader governmental lines of argument, but narrowed down to its essence, down at the bottom of it all was—the Negro. "Who took our side? This Republican party. Who opposed us at every crossroad? The Democratic party. And it was the splendid stroke of a mighty pen of a martyred President, a Republican, that caused four million slaves to come leaping out of darkness into light. And arrested against us was the Democratic party.

Recently Advocated Adverse Legislation St. Louis, October 7.—There is great activity being shown in this campaign by the Negro voters of Missouri, who are threatened with...Negro legislation in the event of the election of Cowherd, the nominee for Governor on the Democratic ticket.

Although the resolution was smothered, it is said that the man put up by the Democrats for Governor will make another attempt to disfranchise the Negro voters of Missouri should be elected. Knowing that the Legislature has also much to do with enacting such farfarious laws no little attention is also being paid to the legislative candidies. On the question of Taft and Sherman the voters are unanimously in favor of the men who represent the Republican party. The Hon. J. Milton Turner, Charles Turner, Wheeler, Nelson Crews, Judge Bradley, George H. Jordan, Attorney Hesion, Dr. T. C. Unthank and others active in the interest of the Republican party, and all predict that Herbert Hadley will be the next Governor of Missouri. John A. Lankford, the well-known architect, has recently visited many sections of Missouri and says he feels confident that the Negro voters will rally around the Republican Lanner in November and assist in placing Missouri in the Republican column for the National and State tickets. The Republicans are in good shape in Missouri, and in selecting Attorney-general Hadley to succeed Gov. Folk and of the strongest campaigners that has been born in the ticket. Having gained distinction fighting corrupt corporations, he has made himself very popular with the people of that State. While in St. Louis, Mr. Lawford met many St. Louisians including the Hop. J. Milton Turner, who has since gone to Ohio and Indiana to speak for the Republican ticket. Mr. Turner is a powerful speaker, and was Minister to Liberia for several years. He went over to the Democracy when Cleveland run in 1808, "but never again for me," says Turner. "To Mr. Lankford he called attention to the radical difference between the decent Democratic party of those divas and the narrow, unprogressive party that Bryan is now leading to another dimestrous defeat. He warns the Negro people against the plausible argument put up by the opposition in favor of division of the Negro vote, to show manhood. He has tried to "divide," but got the worst of it, and like the burat child, dreads the fire this year. Other Republicans at St. Louis who are hard at work for the ticket are A. W. Lloyd, who leads the Pythians; Prof. E. L. Williams, who succeeded the late Prof. Arthur D. Langton as president of the Dauisne School; P. Murray, the veteran editor of the St. Louis Advance, and Paul W. Mosley. NEW CHURCH AT NEW HAVEN. New Haven, Oct. 5.—The laying of the cornerstone of the new Zion A. M. E. Church, Rev. C. S. Whitted pastor, which is in course of construction at Dixwell avenue. and Charles street, took place Sunday, October 4, at 2:30 p. m. Widow's Sons Lodge, No. 1, A. F. and A. M. formed in line at Masonic Temple at 1.65 p. m. and marched to where the ceremonies began. Widow's Sons Lodge was escorted by St. Paul's Commandry, No. 9, K. T. under command of Captain Daniel Tighman, with the Second Regiment Band in the van. The subject began by the reading subject was "Ready to be Offered." Col-This was followed by a selection by the choir. The invocation was offered by Rev. C. H. Yearwood. Selection by the choir. Judge Heaton Robertson then made a warm and telling speech pertaining to the uplift and progress of the church. Colonel U. Illman followed in a very neat and appropriate address. Rev. Dr. A. Clyton Powell came next. He never fails to please his hearers. Attorney G. W. Crawford made a brief speech appropriate to the occasion; selections by the band. Hon. John C. Dancy closed the speech-making by giving a brief resume of the advancement of the A. M. E. Church from its inception down to the present time. The Masonic ceremony was next performed conducted by Brother William J. Hargret, Grand Master of the Ancient, Free and Accepted Marons of the State of Connecticut. The Grand Master was assisted by the Grand Lodge in general communication. Over 4,000 people witnessed the ceremonies. The contributions placed in the cornerstone by Grand Treasurer John W. Ross, Sr., were as follows: Bible, by Miss Edna Biddle; hymn book, Rev. C. S. Whited; discipline, Mr. P. H. Davis; Star of Zion, Zion Trumpet, conference minutes, historic matter, and other church literature; table-able of N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R., by Rev. E. George Biddle, D. D. P. E MEETING A BIG FROST. National Protective League in Binghampton—Things Look Bright for Republmen. BALTIMORE, Oct. 7—Such a farce was the meeting of the National Protective League, held in this city last Friday evening, that the promoters are not through telling those whom they meet just why it was not a big and significant affair as was promised. It is doubtful if they will hold another meeting here soon. About one hundred persons attended. Half of the number were present out of curiosity to see what the league was going to be. It was also noticeable that in the audience were many who are not qualified to vote. The sentiment in this State is for the ticket, and there are but few, if any, who will stray from the Republican party. The Negro voters are registering large numbers, and will do much to make Maryland go for Taft and Sherman. Complete to Interstate Commission of Railroad Accommodations. ATLANTA. October 5.—Representing the Interstate Commerce Commission, J. Edgar Smith, special examiner, on September 17, began taking testimony in the complaint of Bishops W. J. Gaines and Henry M. Turner, of Atlanta; E. W. Lampton, of Washington, D. C.; C. S. Smith, of Detroit, and E. Tyree, of Nashville, lodged with that body against the Seaboard Air Line, the Richmond, Potomac and Fredericksburg, the Southern Railway and the Central of Georgia and the Pullman Car Company. The hearing will be resumed this morning. The complaints are all Negro ministers. Some months ago they went before the Interstate Commerce Commission, commissioned that they be given privileges for which they paid. At the initial session in Atlanta in the federal building a large number of attorneys were present. R. W. Moore, of Washington, with Sanders McDaniel and others, were present to care for the railroads against which charges have been made, while G. S. Fenald, of Chicago, and Albert Howell of Dorsay, Brewster, Howell & Hahman, were ready as attorneys for the Pullman Company. Bishop Gaines, of Atlanta; Bishop Smith, of Detroit, and Bishop Turner, of Atlanta, were examined. Each of these witnesses declared they were not only not given equal accommodations with the whites on train, and that white men should do a white man, they are giving wholly inferior accommodations. Bishop Gaines and Bishop Smith were conservative in their testimony, but Bishop Turner was pronounced, decided and at them radical in his declarations. CAMPAIGN ON IN MANHATTAN Large and Enthusiastic Meeting Last Week in New York GOVERNOR HUGHES Speaks to Negro Voters and is Accorded an Ovation—Cheered Upon Entering the Church MAKES NO PROMISES Ex-Governor P. B. S. Plankhack Mahoe a Rousing Speech—Lincoln Johnson, Rev. Madison Potter, and Others Speak Contrary to the sensational report of a daily newspaper, the most successful political mass meeting of the Negroes of this city during this campaign was the large Hughes meeting held last Thursday evening at Bethel A. M. E. Church, of which Rev. R. C. Ranson is pastor. Governor Hughes and ex-Governor Pinchback were the principal speakers, and their talks aroused great enthusiasm. If the sentiment of the thousand people present is an index of New York's feeling, then Negro voters of this city are overwhelmingly in favor of the Republican party and clean government and will act accordingly in November. A half dozen well-known Negro Democrats with a handful of their hangeron were present to mar the success of the meeting, but their disgraceful as well as faint efforts ended miserably as is usually the case. Held under the auspices of the Republican County Committee, Mr. Arthie Roberts, a member of the Colored Republican Club and a Wetland trustee, met the meeting. In a happy tribute to ex-Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, "as the last of the Old Guard," Mr. Roberts introduced him to preside over the meeting. The old "war horse" holds as unique a place in the hearts of New York Negroes as he did in the political life of the South after the war. Carrying conviction in every word he made a dramatic plea for common sense, judgment and the Republican party—"the party of our friends." From a long and bitter acquaintance with the Democratic party of this country, he said: "I am here to tell you that the Democratic party's slogan—Shall the People Rule?—is mockery and a farce. In the South where the Democratic party rules, the people do not rule, and our people do not' and cannot help it." Holding his impressed hearers under the gell of his cool and experienced counsel, he said: "The election of Bryan means the death knell of our political rights, not only in the South, but in the border States as well." Governor Hughes concluded the meeting following the short and eloquent addresses made by Messrs. Fred. R. Moore, Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia, and Rev. Madison C. Peters. As the Governor came into the church the people jumped to their feet and greeted him with rounds of applause. In character he said: "The people neither sought to soothe the Negro with flattery or friendship; nor did he make any promises to fulfil in the event of his election. He only preached good, straight Republican doctrine, reasoning with his audience, as lovers of law and progress, to support the Republican ticket, State as well as National. During his talk he said: "I am very glad to be with you again. I remember what an enthusiastic Something, has happened to me. We have been on the job. I told you then that if I was elected I was going to give an impartial government, and I have done my best to do so. "If you elect me again, I cannot say that I will do more than that. Sometimes I appreciate the truth of the story Lincoln told on one occasion when he was asked how he liked being President. He replied. It is like a man riding on a rail. It would be better walking if it were for the honor of riding. "There are duties of and an abiding faith in the institutions of this country. We have founded and preserved this government at a great expenditure of blood and treasure. My object is to make those institutions work as they were intended to work, without grinding the political axes of any one at the expense of the public. I have tried to give an honest administration. This election is not a choice of an individual, but will decide whether or not the people are going to rebuke the efforts made in behalf of their institutions." Lincoln Republican House Meeting STATEN ISLAND, N. Y., October 8. The smoker given last week by the Linnette Republican Club of Port Richmond was a highly enjoyable affair. A. J. P. Branniff, leader of the Richmond County Republicans, and Mr. H. E. Boell, interimendent of highways: Memory, D. D. Butts and J. C. Twine. Resolutions endorsing Taft and Sherman and Governor Hughes were mathematically adopted. IF must be encouraging to the members of the Hotel Bellman's Association to see the interest of the officers in business in the hotel, and the association, a clear case of this issue in their lead monthly meeting in regards to a purchase of bets in Long Island. A committee was appointed and found that such was unconstitutional by the laws of the State to handle the funds of "Benedict" and the name of "Benedict" or "Benedictal." It is with much regret that we mention in this column the death of Mr. Fred. Allen, one of the best known men of the city. He has been connected with the affairs of the hotel, and his funeral was from 8t. Mark's Church, 33d street, Sunday, October 4. Mr. Chan, Graham, recently of the Erie dining club, serves in now elevator of the hotel. Edward J. Webster, Jr., the road bellman, is in the city for a few days. Mr. B. J. Flood is again on the job at the hotel, and after spending his vacation in Mr. W. L. Fliher, who succeeded Edward L. Durrell, as head bailman at the Challis Hotel, is still giving ample credit to Mr. W. L. Fliher for Hotel Bellman's for bell-hops of any clan. It is very pleasing to note that the bellman's picnic reported progress at the last monthly meeting. This column hopes to be able to name the bellman, Palm Beach, Fla., in next week's issue. Mr. Charlie Winston has returned to his old job as waiter at the Hotel Knick-erkbucker. Mr. William Evans, for some years bellman, is now in the red cap set at the New Amsterdam Hotel. New bay, help me out in this column and don't let it drop out, for you can see it is much use to the craft. You can do and have your neighbor do the name. Mr. W. J. Murphy, president of the Hotel Bellman's Association, is due much credit for helping to make the picnic a success. We are anxious to hear from all hotel men of any description each week.

ALLEN. Residential Powered by Walter of HomeRoad Hotel, Hot Springs, Va. Funeral services were held over the remains-of-Fred. Allen, one of the most widely known hotel men in the United States, last Sunday at St. Mark's M. E. Church. The funeral was largely attended and the floral offerings were many. Rev. W. H.

It was the seventeenth anniversary of the opening of the institution. One of the pleasing features of this trip is found in the large number of young men and women who were once in the Home, and who go back at least on this one day every year to see the Franciscan Sisters who are in charge.

J., on "A Need of Real Men and Real Women," was eloquent and practical. The Choral Union rendered "Santus" very effectively. The stirring address by Hon. George E. Witecan, Jr., of Brooklyn, on "Courage, Consciousness and Character," was an able effort, bubbling over with many thoughts necessary as a warning to the men and women at the political crisis through which we are passing. He forced them back because of the time and place. A baritone solo by Mr. A. Watson and a recitation, "The Vesper Bell," given by Miss Daisy Travers, of New Jersey, were pleasing efforts.

The meeting was addressed by a Mr. Hendricks, a Yale graduate, who is now at the General Theological Seminary of New York. The speaker's remarks were of a sound, practical nature, and were well appreciated by the audience. The Rev. Charles Martin, pastor, in a few introductory remarks told how the former speaker, in years past, had formulated his ideal, and had worked manfully up to it. He advised all present to have some ideal of attainment, and then work up to it, as ideals without work are useless. The numbers rendered by the recently organized orchestra were fine, and among other choice selections of a varied nature were the song, "Forever," by Mrs. George Hazel; violin solo, Mr. Grimes; clarionet solos, Mr. Withey, and vocal solo, "A Memory."

Anderson, superintendent of the Gate City Mission of the Salvation Army, was the principal speaker. He was accompanied by Captain Larkin, who sang Salvation Army music to the enjoyment of the audience. A special feature of the meeting was the singing of Miss Mamie E. Boyd and Mrs. Dora Moy Petersom; of Kingston. Rev. Mr. Goba, a Zulu of South Africa, was present, and told of the pleasure he had received from being present at the meeting. He made all present laugh by telling them that he felt altogether at home, "because," he said, "I can see that you look just like my people and your people in South Africa." ] Rev. Charles N. Ackworth introduced the speaker. The first session of the Literary Society will be held on Tuesday night, and the Board of Endation will begin the lectures of the session on Wednesday night.

Tribute Paid to Well-known Churchman Monday Evening at Bethel A. M. E. Church. Bethel A. M. E. Church, of which the Rev. Reverdy R. Cansom is pastor, and its people extended a most cordial greeting to Bishop Wesley J. Gaines Monday evening. Seated on the platform were ex-Governor P. B. S.

Sales, J. M. Proctor, J. D. Stevens, D. Estes, J.-H. Accooe, J. C. White, Thomas Chase and A. A. Cooper. Counsellor James L. Curtis presided and spoke in eulogistic terms of the Bishop and the work of Rev. R. C. Ransom, who had been returned to Bethel for another year because his administration had been most successful. Brief addresses were made by Rev. H. H. Pinckney, Brother Wells, John N. Green, Miss Ida Johnson and Miss Gates. Vocal solos were rendered by Reverdy C. Ransom, Jr., and Miss Diggs and a piano solo by Miss Marpone Jones, a graduate of the Conservatory of Music. A warm welcome was accorded ex-Governor Pinchback, who was introduced to the audience by Rev. Ransom. He made a brief address. Bishop Gaines was introduced by Lawyer Curtis. The Bishop spoke of his work and of the affection shown him by his clergy and people, and related his most recent experience in fighting for the rights of his people before the Interstate Commerce Commission in being refused privileges for which they paid. He told of the determination of those associated with him to fight the matter to the end. Five hundred dollars were contributed by Bishops Smith, Turner and himself as a retaining fee to counsel. The Bishop said he was not a politician and did not mix in politics only when he felt that it was necessary, and he felt it necessary at this time that he should speak out in favor of the Negro supporting the Republican party. He urged in strongest language such support. He had no word of condemnation for those of his brethren who disagreed on the subject, but predicted that if the Democratic party was successful the progress of the Negro would be retarded a hundred years. The remarks of the Bishop were warmly applauded. A nice sum was presented him, and he offered to divide it with the pastor. A banquet was served after the talks. Bishop Gaines escorted Mrs. Ransom and Governor Pinback Mrs. Curtis. Others present were Mrs. James C. Thomas. Miss Jones, who is the guest of Mrs. Ransom; Mr. Archie Roberts and Mr. Broughton. All congratulated the Bishop on his sixty-ninth birthday and his fiftieth year in the ministry.

"As a nation our duty compels that by every constitutional and reasonable means the material and educational condition of the colored race be advanced. This we owe to ourselves as well as to them. As the result of a course of events that can never be reversed, they are a part of our civilization; their prosperity in our prosperity, their dehumanization would be our misfortune. The Republican party, therefore, will offer every encouragement in the thrift, industry and intelligence that will better their prospect of higher attainment."—James K. Sherman in Speech of Acceptance. REGISTER! REGISTER! With all the force at our command we want to emphasize the need of every Negro voter registering and voting. As to how the Negro should vote, we think that present and vital considerations make the Republican party his only choice. But under all circumstances we ask, you to use this great privilege of American manhood wherever you can. In order that you may vote you must register. We complain bitterly and with right and reason of the Negroes disfranchised by the Democratic States of the South. Did you ever stop to think how many Negroes through negligence disfranchised themselves in the Republican States of the North? These are the days to register. Do not put it off. Do it now! YOUR BALLOT AND YOUR DINNER PAIL Let no Negro be confused as to the issues of this campaign, so far as they affect him. Whatever other questions may be settled, the vital issues overshadowing all others, so far as you are concerned are these: DISFRANCHISEMENT and PROSPERITY. Whether this nation, shall "enforce both the spirit and the letter of the amendments to the Constitution passed by the Republican party for the protection of the Negro," as Taft promises; or whether this nation shall recognize that the South has disfranchised the Negro in self-protection," as Bryan states. This is the first issue in this campaign for you. The Democratic party is divided on you-to-day, just as it was in 1861. Now as then, Southern Democracy controls and the Northern Democrats are weakened. In 1861, Democracy was built on the cornerstone of your father's slavery. To-day, Democracy is built on the cornerstone of your brother's political slavery. In 1861, the Republican party promised to free the race from slavery. It carried out its promise. To-day the Republican party promises freedom from political slavery. Help it to fulfil its promise as you did in '61. The second great issue for you is of hardly less importance. Bryan's election means the still further suspension of PROSPERITY. You, yourself, see these facts as proofs. Business is dull. Many men are out of employment. Orders are not being given. Contracts are not being let. All business is waiting, waiting to see if Taft is elected. Three million Negro laborers and more than five hundred millions of dollars' worth of taxable property bind you to the prosperity or hard times of the next administration. Prosperity is the second great issue for you to decide. Your ballot and your dinner pail are the vital questions in this campaign for you. VERY FEW WILL VEER. Some little time ago, it was quite a popular assertion that the Negro should divide his votes among the political parties, and it was argued, with more or less ability, that he would be a great gainer by doing so. Such reasoners were generally Caucasian Democrats, but at the present time a few Negroes have adopted the same line of argument and are trying to persuade Negro electors to vote for Mr. Bryan. This has attracted the attention of the Athens (Ga.) Banner, and that journal frankly and candidly tells the Negro voter what he will gain by taking such advice, as follows: "The Democracy wants the votes of all the citizens of the Republic who believe in good government, but it does not want the votes of the Negroes under any idea that they are to be treated in any other manner than the well-established custom in this country, that of maintaining the supremacy of the white man. If there are Negroes who are weaving to Democracy on the idea that they are to be pampered and petted and given privileges over the white man they might as well be undeceived. From Mr. Bryan down the Democracy stands for EXTRACT FROM TAFT'S BPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE JULY 28, 1908. THE REPUBLICAN PLA CAGO, EXPLICITLY DEMAN WITHOUT REGARD TO M AS EXPLICITLY DECLARE AND WITHOUT RESERVAT OF THE THIRTEENTH, FOR AMENDMENTS TO THE C LESS TO STATE THAT SQUARELY ON THAT PLAN BELIEVE THAT EQUAL J THE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL AMENDMENTS IS IN KEEP CAN SPIRIT OF FAIR PLAN THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM, ADOPTED AT CHICAGO, EXPLICITLY DEMANDS JUSTICE FOR ALL MEN WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE OR OLOR, AND JUST AS EXPLICITLY DECLARES FOR THE ENFORCEMENT, AND WITHOUT RESERVATION, IN LETTER AND SPIRIT OF THE THIRTEENTH, FOURTEENTH AND FIFTEENTH AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION. IT IS NEEDLESS TO STATE THAT I STAND WITH MY PARTY SQUARELY ON THAT PLANK IN THE PLATFORM, AND BELIEVE THAT EQUAL JUSTICE TO ALL MEN, AND THE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL ENFORCEMENT OF THESE AMENDMENTS IS IN KEEPING WITH THE REAL AMERICAN SPIRIT OF FAIR PLAY. Mary N. Lafe the rule of the white man in this Republic and there is no use in disguising that fact. The Negroes might as well realize it and be done with it." There is little consolation in the above for the "Negroes who are veering to Democracy," and the Athens Banner may rest assured that not many of the race will "veer." The resolution passed by the National Baptist Convention in Lexington petitioning all Negro Baptists to henceforth buy Negro dolls for their children, in our opinion, is a timely and mighty step in the right direction. We would that the plea had included also Negro calendars and house pictures. Every race except that portion of the African race native in America, idealizes its own color and racial characteristics. To the Anglo-Saxon, the German, the Italian and the Hebrew, Christ and the Madonna are painted as members of their respective races. But the Negro child playing with white dolls, to the detriment of his own race pride and race confidence, is imbued with foreign standards of beauty and culture. This sensible change in Negro sentiment for Negro toys and ornaments will profoundly affect Negro nature. A POLITICAL SYMPOSIUM. The August-September number of The Quarterly Review, the organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, has a most interesting symposium on the political situation. Five of the six bishops who contribute, favor Taft, and one favors the Prohibitionists. The reasons given for supporting Taft and the Republican party by the five bishops constitutes an irrefutable argument. The opinions of the A. M. E. Zion bishops are not only interesting, but profitable reading. The editor displayed real journalistic enterprise in collating these opinions and views. BRYAN AND THE BROTHER BRYAN AND THE BROTHER. it has just come out that the day the Negro delegation was entertained by Bryan at Fairview on the lawn with watermelon and fried chicken, the Hona Josephus Daniels, of North Carolina, was being entertained in the Bryan parlers. The Southern statesman, highly pleased by the astute politician's handling of a difficult situation, grew thus poetic in his recollections of old times: "How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood; As I see them presented right here in Fairview." Mr. Taft once alluded to the Democratic party as "organized incapacity," and a sensible man can easily convince himself of the fitness of the description by due attention to the doings of the party in the States in which it has absolute control. For instance, in Texas the Legislature solemnly decrees that the sheets must be just so many feet and so many inches long; in other States it enforces, two-cent fares, even though it bankrupt the roads; in Oklahoma it rushes into the guarantee of bank deposits, regardless of the fact that that policy has been disastrous wherever tried. It defies the Federal courts and nullifies the Constitution of the United States. It purposely and with malice afforethought enacts laws which contravene those of the general Government. "Organized incapacity" is good. THE STITUTION IN GEORGIA. The Democrats in Georgia fearing the combined opposition of the Populist party, under Tom Watson, and the Independence League, under its candidate for governor, Yaney Carter, are appealing, through Congressman Livingstone and others for the Negro vote. At this same election on October 7 will be decided the question of the Negro's franchise in Georgia. There is no Republican candidate in the field, while the Cleveland Democratic candidate, "Joe" Brown, heat Hoke Smith for the nomination partly on the Negro franchise issue. Two of our esteemed contemporaries—the Atlanta Independent and the Savannah Independent—are urging the Negroes to vote for Brown. But the Negroes of the State, under Editor White, of the Georgia Captist, are rebelling. With the Cleveland Democrats and NEGRO DOLLS --- ORGANIZED INCAPACITY. the other Republicans they are lined up to vote solidly against the franchise plank of the Bryan Democrats. But they refuse absolutely to vote for any Democrat for governor. THE NEGRO DEMOCRAT The Negro who votes the Democratic ticket actually votes to retard the progress of his own race. He approves of that party's course in depriving four-fifths of his race of the ballot; he sanctionis that party's course in subjecting his race to the galling "Jim Crow" laws of the South; he makes possible "Jim_Crow" cars in Washington; he strengthens Heilin, Vardaman, Tillman and their crowd of Negro haters; he puts a club in the hands of Democrats to further oppress, him. In short, he gives up his manhood rights for the Democratic party—which does not believe that you—a Negro—are entitled to any rights. MAJOR WRIGHT The unanimous re-election of Major R. R. Wright to the presidency of the Georgia State Industrial College is a matter of as general compliment to the race as it has been of general concern. Of superior training, wide experience, earnest and thoroughly practical, Prof. Wright is in the front frank of Southern scholars and educators. The little black boy who told Poet Whittier to tell his New England friends, "We's arisen" has been happily sustained. HON. J. VAN VECHTEN OLCOTT NOMINATED. The Republicans of the 15th Congressional District have again shown their confidence in J. VanVechten Olecott by renominating him for Congress. We predict that he will be re-elected by a larger majority than he received two years ago. He has been faithful to his constituents, and they will show their appreciation by keeping him in Congress. CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS ON! In all the charges and countercharges of corrupt corporation influence no one has dreamed that one of the "big four" candidates would be caught with the goods on. A dispatch from E. W. Waltman, of Connerville, Ind, says: "Mr. Kern lost his pocketbook while visiting that place to speak at the Free Fair, and when it was found it contained a pass on the "Big 4" Railroad, good until December 31, 1908. "A railroad official, when asked how the candidate for Vice-President came into possession of the pass, said: "Mr. Kern is a regularly employed attorney of the road." With far less direct evidence against him as the tool of corporations, Governor Haskell withdrew. POPULAR MR. LOEB The White House never had a secretary that was as popular with Negroes who visit there as William Loeb, Jr. This is not said in disparagement to his predecessors. Negro visitors to the White House are always received cordially by Mr. Loeb. He does not overdo it, and neither does he underdo it. There is a sort of indefinable sympathy in this man's makeup and a justness in his dealings with men that favorably impress members of our race. With Secretary Loeb, a man is a man, and his color is a distinguishing characteristic but not a bar. Race or color with him is taken no note of. In this respect he is just like his chief, the President. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS. It is up to us to see that the people do rule. There is more ginger in the Presidential jar. Delaware will have Negro lawyers only when the Democratic judiciary is hurled from power. The masses of the Negro race are seeking light. By all means let them have it—and at once! The New York Negro will put money in his pocket by voting to sustain Governor Hughes' anti-trace track gambling policy. Yes, party records are to be judged not alone by party professions, but by party achievements. The Republican party invites the Negro and everybody else to examine its record on every ground—on that of its professions, achievements, its consistency and loyalty to principles and pledges. the campaign that was "drifting" is now "rushing" Chairman Hitchcock is allowing the other fellows to do the worrying. Keep the United States Supreme Court in the hands of the Negro's friends! The Negro editors will get after Tillman with a red typewriter ribbon when he butts into the campaign. The Republican party offers the Negro a present and a future, as well as a past that tithes it to our gratitude and loyal support. The Negro voters of Indiana do not "much" John Worth Kern. They indicated this in 1900, emphasized it in 1904 and will rub it in in 1908. The discharged soldiers will never be reinstated, if William Jennings Bryan is elected President—which he will not be. Stick a pin in both places! THE AGE would like to see a photograph of a real, genuine, sinon-pure, brand-blown in the-bottle Negro Democrat. As a curio it would "take big." Now that Chairman Hitchcock and his efficient aids have the campaign machinery in good working order, the process is moving off at a lively gait. It is a rare newspaper of the race that does not carry the "Taft and Sherman" ticket at its editorial masthead. The voice of the people is heard through their trusted press. Let it not be overlooked that the Negro draws over $50,000 in government salaries. We shall not draw one half of this magnificent sum if the Democrat gets a whack at our payroll. The platitudes of William Ranglph hearst fall upon deaf ears, as far as the black man is concerned, when it is remembered that John Temple Graves is his candidate for the Vice-Presidency. For some reason or another—which Grand Chief E. W. B. Curry does not explain—the National Grand Council of the Good Samaritans, called originally for Baltimore last month, has been postponed indefinitely. Why? The Republicans have no need to fear the so-called Democratic upheaval. The Democrats usually elect their candidates about this time and the Republicans hold a real election in November. The Cleveland Journal is right. "Only a coward distranchises himself"—either by failing to vote, or by voting for a party that is pledged to keep him from voting wherever possible. Judge Taft made no bones of using the "short and ugly word" in referring to the charge of Preacher Corrquher that he said the Fifteenth Amendment ought to be repealed. Taft can smile and chase villains to a standstill Put the blame for the Brownsville episode where it belongs—on the shoulders of the Democratic party. But for Democratic incarness and Democratic fake reports the incident would never have occurred. Mr. Bryan is writing long communications to the press and bothering the multitude daily and nightly from the hustops, but not yet has he seen fit to that Cooper Union speech in which he justified the disfranchisement of the Negro. "Marco Henry" throws up the sponge and admits that his Democratic "open door" mission for the Negro is a "frost." His obseuse heutenants in bronze are foolish enough to rush on for the November knock-out. Mr. Bryan may be a good runner, but his record is fast enough to keep abreast of him. He cannot dodge his endorsement of "Jim Crow" laws, disfranchisement, free silver, government ownership and greenbackism. Senator Beveridge opened the New York campaign in fine shape. In the massive audience at Carnegie Hall many Negroes were seen, and their eyes glistened with delight as the eloquent Indian unfolded his text of Republican prosperity and lauded the character and achievements of Judge Taft. Samuel R. Scottron, of Brooklyn, who has heretofore been rated as a man of unusual intelligence and judgment, says he is for Bryan and gives as his excuse that "he doesn't want to be enslaved again." Does Mr. Scottron realize that had his fate been left to the party he espouses he would never have enjoyed the liberty he now abuses? The leaders of the Negro Democratic annex openly make confession, that the Brownville episode was overworked to afford a rallying point of some kind through which an effective stand could be taken against the Republican party. Can a leadership he called safe which finds it necessary to delude themselves in order to accomplish a nefarious and selfish end? Judge Taft stands for the immediate improvement in the methods of administering our criminal laws, and urges that officers, of the law be held to stricter accountability for any failure to use all possible means to prevent and suppress violence on the part of mobs. This goes at the root of the trouble, and suggests the most practical plan of putting a stop to the outbreaks that disgrace America's bogged civilization. The Negro under Cleveland's Democratic administration had no Register of the Treasury, no Municipal Judge in the District of Columbia, no Auditor for the Navy Department, no Assistant District Attorneys anywhere and no Collectors of Customs of Internal Revenue between the oceans. The future can easily be determined by the past, when Democrats are dealing with the Negro in the matter of officeholding. The so-called opposition to Judge Taft among the Negro voters is unorganized and without head or tail. In what State is there any "revolt" worthy of the name that can point to a definite plan, with a definite under a definite manager, with a definite team of members, and a definite treasury to pay expenses? Don't all answer at once! WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY Yes, Mr. Bryan, the people will rule, and they will select one William Howard Taft for their special agent at Washington—Atlanta Independent. Booker T. Washington sent out to Chicago to get Dr. Daniel Williams to administer to his son, while Dr. Duboise sent his son to Chicago to be administered on by Pat Murphy. Now which of the two are helping the race?—Chicago Defender. We are puzzled to note how men of Dr. DuBoise's standing can align themselves with the Democratic party, a party that has done so much to nullify our civil rights and curtailing our personal privileges—Savannah Tribune. Let us not be deceived by the two or three Democratic Negroes in New England who are making a noise like a frog and appealing in a hysterical way to the Negroes to vote for Bryan. We believe the men of Rhode Island are too patriotic to vote deliberately and knowingly for a party who tells us to our faces that if elected they will appeal the amendments to the National Constitution, thereby denying us of our civil and political rights. Men the time has not yet come for us to vote for our enemies. —Providence (R. L.) Advance. It is worth while for Negroes who are considering Bryan to remember that Bryan and his party believe that, "If the Negro is recognized in politics at all he either bought, cailed or coerced. But the undoubted opinion of the Southern democracy and the belief of Northern Democrats acquired from their Southern brethren. Are the Negroes of the North ready to stand under the imputation by their allies of being bought, cailed or coerced by them?"—Sumter, (S. C.) Defender It is a splendid tribute to the generosity of the Roosevelt administration that in the past four years, the number of Negroes employed in the public service, exclusive of the army and navy, has more than doubled. In 1904 Negro employees drew in salaries about $2,000,000. In 1908 they draw over $8,000,000. Query: How much will the Negroes draw four years hence if we make the mistake of allowing the hungry horde behind Mr. Bryan get the whip-hand at the "pie-counter?"—Cleveland Journal. Hon. J. E. Lee was the only representative of the Negro race at the Taft notification committee, and Hon. Charles Bank, a member of the Mound Bayou, Miss, has only Negro a member of the Sherman notification committee for Vice-President. At the Bryan notification committee, the Negro compulsively absent. He was not needed and was not called upon. How strange that a few fanatics have been swept from their moorings shouting Bryanism. Democracy does not need the black brother in its business—Christian Index. How successfully Democrats have fooled Republicans can be better told by the number of offices they hold. In every department of the government, Democrats are in control and Republicans are made to take a back seat. The appointing power is a great individual in the eyes of the Democrats up to the time a Democratic Presidential Democrat is in the field. These same Democrats on the day of election will vote the Democratic ticket. So it is with the Negro. He, it is true, has cause to become disgruntled, but not to desert his party, and in fact he will not desert his party in a crisis like the present —Washington Bee. The issue now before our people is, shall this policy, which in less than half a century, has made us the great wealth-producing nation of the world, be continued under that wise and humane statesman, William H. Taft, or shall we invite decline by an experiment with unstable and Socialistic doctrines such as are advocated by Mr. Bryan? The question is not, "Shall the people rule?" the preposterous catch-phrase invented by Mr. Bryan, but "Shall the common sense of the people prevail?"—Wonkers Standard. Very much of this complaint that Bishop Walters makes against the Republican party is found in this solution: In campaigns big Negroes like Bishop Walters have been demanding pay for their services on the stump, they have been getting big wads of it while the rank and file, or little Negroes, have been getting nothing: No party feels greatly obligated to a race when it has paid them; then these big Negroes get the money they are not giving. And then the bishop raises this bluff about what the Republicans have failed to do. The fact of the matter is this: When you have delivered the Negro vote to any party and got the money, bishop, the incident is closed. Stop selling the Negro bag and baggage and there'll be peace—Chicago Conservator. "The colored people have long waited for a man who would come out squarely and say where he stood on these amendments and that he would enforce them. Eureka! Behold the man! It is William Howard Taft. He will see that the man in Alabama respects the law as does the man in Massachusetts, and that the right of suffrage is enforced as far as the amendment go. Then, a righteous indignation from the North, East and West will accomplish the rest. Take fresh courage and be determined to accomplish more. With a fair interpretation of the law, half good treatment, the Republican party in power at Washington and Taft at the head, the Negro will yet he the David to slay the South Goliath who has persecuted him for all these years—Richmond Reformer. The speech and presence of Judge Taft, the nation's next President, at the Ohio conference of our church in Cincinnati last week, cannot be too liberally interpreted. That Mr. Taft could spare an hour or more from his crowded engagements to honor a convention of collegiate sympathizers in his presence and an address prepared for the occasion is quite out of the ordinary. The occasion is the more to be valued when it is recalled that a national gathering in a neighboring State and several local bod- ies had failed to secure the distinguished character as a feature of their program, nor, were, the houses one-sided, for the coming President insisted on greeting his fellow citizens of color at allen Temple and gave them the cream counsel and paternal good will. The visit and speech will do good, to the Republican cause and inspire citizens of color to hope and struggle in the contest for manhood rights as never before. —Christian Recorder. The Messenger respectfully urges upon every self-respecting Negro voter who has qualified to vote in coming election next November, for Mr. Taft, the Republican candidate for the Presidency. It's in the South where the majority of colored people are disfranchised, there is very little that can be done; still it will show what side one is on to cast his ballot in favor of the party that has done so much for him—what no other has done or claims to do. That Mr. Taft will be elected no one who knows and keeps up with the political situation in this country will deny, and it will do honor to the Negro of the United States to show his loyalty to that party by casting his ballot for the man that stands for his political freedom and manhood.—Rock Hill (S. C.) Messenger. The fact that the colored people are given a representative on the legislative ticket is a strong argument in favor of the continued loyalty of the colored vote. The Democratic party will not do this much, even when claiming a division of the colored vote. The Republican party is the only progressive party. It is wise enough to right even the errors of its own leaders, which is proof conclusive of its progressiveness. Considering all the political turmoil that exists in Colorado we should give full trust to the endeavor of Republican leaders to fairly with the colored vote. It indicates a renewed welding of interests along old lines and gives us an improved outlook. The campaign is now before us, and a fair contemplation of the work accomplished by Republican conventions in the settlement of difficulties and the nomination of an array of unapproachable candidates makes it apparent that their work has been well done—Colorado Statesman. Mr. Bryan on the Negro The Omaha Bee, on the subject of the Negro and the suffrage, says: "It would be interesting to know what Mr. Bryan thinks of the question. The Southern wing of the Democratic party, which dominates the organization, should be magnanimous and allow Mr. Bryan to tell the Northern people, particularly the Northern Negroes, where he stands on the question of Negro defenderism. This is a useless inquiry, Mr. Bryan's position is thoroughly plain. He stands just where Mr. Cleveland stood, and just where any other man bearing the national standard of the Democracy would be obliged to stand. He approves of the New difranchisements in the South, and if they were West Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri would be the States which have already acted would he approve that. Any other position would be impossible for him. The disfranchisements already effected will give him nearly forty unconstitutional voles, and all of his calculations include that strength. Were he to deceive it, and announce a purpose, if elected, to press for the amendments covering the matter, he would commit political suicide. He would look down on support of the South, and go down in a defeat which would make Judge Parker's defeat look almost like a triumph by comparison—Washington Evening Star. Large Republican Gathering The Colored Republican Club, Mr. Harry T. Middleton, president, held a large and enthusiastic meeting in the club rooms at 57 West 133d street, last Thursday evening. Members and friends from all parts of Greater New York attended to enhance to the number of several hundred. Wardresses were made by Collector Chas W. Anderson, Lawyer Smithwick, Lieut Davis and Mr. Benjamin Williams. Dr. Thompson's Practice. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACKEN- Dear Sirt: In a recent issue of your valuable paper I noticed the following: Dr. Thompson, who is said to enjoy a pretty fair practice up in Mt. Vernon, and his attention called to the lucern- ance of a practice in the neighboring town of New Rochelle, when one Dr. C. P. McClendon hung out his shingle there. Dr. Thompson immediately thereafter secured a office near the newcomer and lately has sent to a brother, and installed him the rivalry in medicine is getting to be as keen as the competition in selling tacks." In reply to the above I must say that my friend and professional brother, Dr. C. P. McClendon, could have been a accessory in giving publicity to the statement. There is not a seintilla of truth in it; it is an unmitten false- hood and should be characterized by the President's laconic phrase. For the sake of correcting the Gossiper and giving my friends the right impression, I will explain the matter: I have been practicing medicine along ethical lines since 1902 in the above-mentioned towns and contiguous country. For more than two years I have maintained an office at No. 5 Winthrop avenue. New Rochelle, and I have no other office in that town. I have been occupying this office for more than two years—certainly more than eighteen months before the newcomer made his advent and located in the same block in which I am Recently he moved his office within three doors from our office. There has been some moving done, and did it? It is further stated that I see for my brother and installed him there as a competitor of the newcomer. My brothers are practicing in the South and have no intention of coming up here to practice. There is another statement in the report to the effect that the lucrativeness of the field was brought to my attention by the above-named physician, who has been in New Rochelle less than a year ago to physician cannot, as a rule, build up practice within such a limited time. As stated above I am not a migratory physician and practice along ethical tenets. In my work I pay the strictest adhesion to the principles of a Christian gentleman. Yours respectfully, NOTES OF The way of the Democratic gressor is hard, but it is of his own making. In his Yale address last year Secretary Taft, speaking on the subject of lynch law, said: "Nothing can be more detrimental to the public interest, than for any part of the people to take the law into their own hands." What has Mr. Bryan said on the subject of lynch law? Does not his silence carry with it the sanction which he gave Southern disfranchisement of the Afro-American people in his Cooper Union speech? Even so. Dr. Booker T. Washington, who is rated as the biggest personal asset the Afro-American people have in fee simple, began, October 5, a trip through the State of Mississippi, in the interest of the Negro Business League of that State. While other people are talking politics Dr. Washington will have to look wise and talk about other things than politics while he is in Mississippi. James K. Vardaman and John Sharp Williams, of high Democratic degree and a serious voice, have fixed it that way for his party More: In order that he and his party work as people, and not as beasts, proscribed in labelled coaches, Dr. Washington was appalled to arrange for a special coach for them and his party. That is the way that the Democratic party ordains for men the size and the color of Booker T. Washington. Such a condition of affairs does not exist in any Republican State. The Democratic party, which has always been the party of Satan, does not believe that "fightcoons exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." Acting on this information and belief, the American people have kept the Democratic party out of power in the nation, for the most part, ever since it revealed itself on the slavery issue as the real agent of Satan. The United States exported manufactures, in 1875, of the value of $102,000,000; in 1907, of $740,000,000, an increase in thirty-two years of 625 per cent. That is the way the Republican protective tariff works—plenty of everything for home goods and a vast volume of surplus production from other countries. President Cleveland's free Trade Message, in 1887, paralyzed the manufacturing industry of the country and killed all of the large cities of the North and West with soup houses, provided by public and private charity. A Republican Protective Tariff and abundance of all things are better than Democratic Free Trade and free soup houses all over the land. In his letter of acceptance Secretary Taft said: "I believe that equal justice to all men and the fair and impartial enforcement of these (the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth) amendments are in keeping with the real American spirit of fair play." What did William Jennings Bryan say on the same subject in his letter of acceptance? Nothing. That is the Democratic way. Mr. Sherman said in his letter of acceptance: "The Republican party believes in the equality of all men before the law. As a nation our duty compels that be every constitutional and reasonable means the material and educational condition of the colored race be advanced." What does Mr. Kern say? Science. The Republican national platform, adopted at Chicago, declares: "The Republican party has been for more than fifty years the consistent friend of the American Negro. It gave him freedom and citizenship. It wrote in the organic law the declarations that proclaim his civil and political rights, and it believes to-day that his noteworthy progress in intelligence, industry and good citizenship has earned the respect and encouragement of the nation. We demand equal justice for all men, without regard to race or color." What does the Democratic party say? But the disfranchising, separate car and separate school laws of every Southern State where the Democratic party rules with an iron rod indicate what the Democratic national party would do if it had control of the Presidential office and a Democratic Congress. There was lots of ftn at the big rally at Bethel Church, in New York, last week. Gov. Pinchback presided and Henry R. Johnson, of Georgia, and Fred R. Moore, of New York stirred up the few democrats who came to have a row and not to applaud. Policemen were required to calm the old Nick in the few liebies of democrats. Rev. Madison C. Peters and Rev. Jinghes made good addresses and were not interrupted, which shows that a black Democrat knows how to keep quiet when he has to. From a Reader. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE: I wish to say that THE ACE has done good work for Mr. Taft in making sentiment in this town. Six months ago some of our colored brethren had decided not to vote at all, but after reading and discussing THE ACE they, are to a man for Taft. Yours. J. E. Bush To Speak for Taft, Little Rock, Sept. 29. The H. J. E. Bush, of this city, has made arrangements with Cecil Lyon, Director of the Speakers' Bureau, Chicago, to speak during the campaign at Louisville, Dutchess and Covington, Ky., Cincinnati, O., and Indiana. Many Arkansas business men are in favor of the election of Franklin H. Taft, and a number of bankers and lumbermen declare that they will support the Republican nominee. Tarrytown. George R.

Negroes of State United for Nominee of Republican Ticket. NEW HAVEN, Conn., October 5—Hon. John C. Datey, Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, formally opened the campaign among the colored voters of the State last Thursday night. A large crowd turned out to hear the distinguished speaker, and he was given a term reception, and extensive preparations had been made by the local clubs and the meeting was a tremendous success from every point of view. Mr. Daney was interesting and eloquent for an hour and a half. In that time he more than convinced his hearers that the retention of the Republican party in power was absolutely essential to the nation. He explained Judge Taft's position on the suffrage question and read extracts from his speeches in which he took high ground in support of the race and for the enforcement of the 14th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Federal Constitution. We speaker believed that Taft would make the greatest Presidents the nation has ever had and would rank side by side with Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt. The names of Lincoln, Roosevelt and Taft engulf the heartiest cheers, and Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass came in for a "good hand." Mr. Daney attributed the proess of the progo to the opportunity provided by the Kentucky government and to our sense of duty. The Democratic party always stood like a stone wall against our advancement. The Republican Loyal Legion was organized with the following officers: President, Colonel Edward Randolph; vice-president, J. Oscar Jones; secretary, W. F. Pierce; treasurer, R. H. Musc.

After a preamble setting forth the virtues, and patriotic services of Taft and Sherman, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: "Be it resolved, that We heartily endorse the entire national platform adopted by the Republican constitution at Chicago and pledge ourselves to support the National and State tickets." Connecticut colored Republicans are united for Taft and Sherman and the race throughout the State will do its utmost to hold the electoral vote in line for them. Following are the members of the Taft Club of the Loyal Legion: Edward Randolph, president; vice presidents and secretaries. D. M. F. Allen, H. Smith R. Inee, G. H. Barley, J. P. Johnson, Rice R.

Before a Large Crowd Advises Them to Vote for Taft. A large crowd at St. James' Church, Newark, N. J., October 5. Rt. Rev. Wesley J., Gaines of Atlanta, Ga., praised the Republican party at a large meeting held in St. James' African Methodist Episcopal Church. His remarks upon the political situation affecting the Negro were received with enthusiasm. Bishop Gaines in his speech advocated the election of William H. Taft as a means of furthering the interests of the race. He said in part: "Mr. Bryan and his party offer no reason that justifies the Negro's opposition to H. Taft. On the other hand, the attitude of the Democratic party in Congress and in the country toward the Negro justifies the Negro in withholding from it his suffrage. "No party has a claim upon the Negro that closes the doors of hope against him and that will not go upon record to protect his rights. Mr. Taft and the Republican party are upon record as to the hope held out for the Negro. Taft is interested in the education of the Negro. He is one of the trustees of the $1,000,000 set apart for the education of Negro children in the South. He accepted this trust because of the interest he had in the education of the Negro as the best solution of his problem. "Now the test comes as to whether the Negro will "love himself capable of standing love to the party nominee who he had so far as to his plight." I appeal to you as me to be loyal and true to yourselves and your children and to the best interest of our country. The bishop was in fine voice and his speech made a great impression on his hearers. The Colored Republican Association of Essex County*Mr. J. H. E. Scotland, president, has headquarters at 53 Academy street.

TYLER SPEAKS Warmly Received by Ohio Republican Club—New from Washington. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 6—Auditor Ralph W. Tyler was given a warm reception Thursday evening by the Ohio Republican Association at their hall on Sixth street. Some weeks ago the president invited Mr. Tyler to speak before the association, but this was the first available opportunity that had presented itself for his acceptance. The audience, numbering over 1,000 was entirely white, but a more cordial and sympathetic hearing was never given a speaker than that which the gathering accorded to Mr. Tyler throughout the forty-five minutes that he held the stage. Without wasting words in tisseleology of the Republican nominees, Mr. McKenna brought out cogent reasons why they should be elected and why the Republican party should be given a vote of confidence and permitted to go on with its constructive and prosperity-producing policies. In his opinion the best interests of the laboring classes, the manufacturers, the monarchs, the finance, the farmers, the ministers, the railroads and steamships, the housewife and the domestic helper—including the Negroes identified with all of these activities—would be most effectively served by continuing the Republican party at the helm of the ship of state. "As far as the special interests of the race are concerned," said Mr. Tyler, "the Democratic party is without an argument. It has for a century stood like a hungry wolf between the Negro and his vested rights. Whatever has been accomplished for the uplift of the black man, morally or materially, has come through the Republican party; and the future of the race is bound up almost wholly in the success of the party of Roosevelt and Taft in this, contest. The Negro is naturally a Republican, but does not vote for, the party entirely because of gratitude for past favors. He studies the fiscal and economic issues. His growing strength in the arena of music and knowledge of the fundamental principles of the diverse industries are causing him to take of the things that affect the stock market and influence trade and fix values. He is standing by the Republican party, not only because of the abolition of slavery, but because its sound policies make his business interest secure and protect his family from the distress that would be apt to grow out of Democratic mismanagement." Mr. Tyler referred to the proud history of the men who had come up from Ohio and had made an indelible impression upon the nation, and thought that William Howard Tait would be the greatest of the long line of Presidents that the dukeye State had placed in the White House. He was given a rousing encore upon the conclusion of his convincing address. It was indeed "Tyler Night" at the hall of the Ohio Republican Association, and the "glad hand" was extended upon all sides. Mr. John Puryear has gone to Claremont, Va., to enter the Temperance Industrial and Collegiate Institute. Mrs. A. M. Curtis, who has had much experience in campaign work and enjoys a remarkable influence among the women of the West, is identified with Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, of Iowa, in the organization of the women of the country. Mrs. Curtis believes that in the final analysis this campaign will be determined by the women who make the homes and rear THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1908. ROBERT W.

WALTON ABOUT THE STARS AND SHOWS Since the opening of the theatrical season the following query has been put to the writer time and time again: "How is Hogan; do you think he will be able to return to the stage soon?" With a view to learning the true physical condition of the "Unbleached American" for the benefit of the many readers of THE AGE as well as for himself, the writer made a journey last Sunday to Glen Gardner, N. J., where the well-known comedian is located on the Banghart Farm with his mother and a niece. He calls the place "Bungaloo Louise," having named it after his mother, Mrs. Louise Crowdus. It can be said that Ernest Hogan is much improved in health. In fact, his attending physician says his patient is in better condition physically to-day than he has been for many months, and that the chances are favorable for his ultimate recovery. Equally as optimistic are Hurtig & Seamon, Ernest Hogan's managers, who believe that it is only a question of months before their most valuable asset will be able to return to musical comedy and make the people laugh as of yore. So far as the comedian is personally concerned, he has always declared that it would be only a question of a short time before he returned to the stage, and he is more confident of so doing since his recent gradual improvement than ever before. In the meantime many want to know if the "Oyster Man" is to go out this season with a new comedian. In the opinion of the writer, Hurtig & Seamon do not intend to give the public a colored show this season, at least for several months to come. They are not making any preparation to do so, and when you ask them their intentions they will tell you they have none on that score. It is true that they made arrangements with Harrison Stewart to head the "Oyster Man" Company this season, but it is unlikely that the organization will be taken out of New York City. Hurtig & Seamon seem to be looking forward to one important event—the recovery of Ernest Hogan so he can resume his role with their large colored aggregation. It is not so much from a standpoint of sentiment that they adopt such a course as it is from business. Ernest Hogan has established himself as a strong drawing card in the best houses of the Stair and Havin Circuit. His appearance over the circuit means money. On the other hand, to take a new comedian into the fold means first, that a reputation has to be made; and secondly, that the same houses would not be given the show to play in but the second-class houses of the circuit. Taking into consideration that this is election year, which is deemed a bad season for the theatrical business until after the first part of November, Hurtig & Seamon have given out that no coloured show will be presented at this time, which shuts up all talk of an immediate rehearsal of the "Oyster Man" company for a road tour as has been rumored. This is a most important year for Williams and Walker, the two comedians who have been for years fighting for first-class theaters—and rightly so. If they secure first-class prices this year and make good it means much for them as well as the Negro performer in general. Since they made their debut in musical comedy these two comedians have done more pioneer work in the matter of demanding recognition for the colored performer than all others. Should they succeed in securing first-class houses for their attractions other colored shows would profit by their efforts. As George Walker admits, it is, indeed, a difficult task to convince the white managers that a colored show should play to first-class prices, despite the fact that Williams and Walker are considered one of the strongest drawing cards in the show business. Then, after the managers are convinced, they do not act accordingly. An example of the obstacles the comedians are encountering was shown in Boston, where the company played to large houses for several weeks and was the hit of the "Hub" city. Before leaving New York it was agreed that they were to receive $1.50 prices at the Orpheum Theatre, which is being managed by the Shuberts. However, they were dismayed to learn that some of the best seats were being sold for $1.00. As the show was doing a big business, it was agreed to let the prices remain unchanged, with a promise that in the future the attraction would play to first-class prices. With the large and expensive show Williams and Walker are carrying it is utterly impossible for them to make the money to which they are entitled unless they play to first-class prices. As they are giving a first-class musical show they should get value received for the goods they are producing. "Bandanna Land" is booked to play the Shubert houses this season, and we await the result with interest. Cole and Johnson have given the public a unique musical comedy in "The Red Moon," and reports from the various cities in which the company has appeared are very satisfactory. In Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Cleveland the new show greatly pleased the theater-goers, and it The group consists of five men standing side by side, dressed in formal attire. They appear to be in a formal setting, possibly a courtroom or a public event. The men are wearing suits, ties, and hats, suggesting a formal occasion. The background is plain and does not provide any additional context. READING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT TOP BOW—BOS COLE, LESTER A. WALTON, SAM CORKER, JA. BERT A. WILLIAMS, JAMES REESE EUROPE, ALEX. RCJERS. BOTTOM TOP, TOWN, BROW, J. ROBAMOND JOHNSON, GEO W. WALKER, J. A. SHIPP, R. C. MCPHERSON. is highly probable that a very successful season is in store for the well-known song writers and comedians. All who see "The Red Moon" are sure to enthusiastically refer to the scenery and staging of the piece; and Bob Cole has written a part for himself which gives him an opportunity to show that he is capable of doing comedy on legitimate lines. J. Rosamond Johnson is improving wonderfully in his acting and READING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT TO BOTTOM appears to more advantage than in the "Shoo-fly Regiment." This should be a great season for Cite and Johnson. Although the Smart Set Company was booked for twelve weeks in the South, it is now playing in the East. Monday the company opened in Boston for a week's run. For the remainder of the season S. H. Dudley and his company will entertain the public north of Mason and Dixon's line, and it will be a long time before they make a Southern tour again. Forty-odd people are with the show, and with only the colored people attending the performances it was soon found out that the company would be out many thousands of dollars should it remain South for any length of time. Thus the sudden cancelling of the Southern time and the trip East. This season promises to be a profitable one for the "Black Patti Troubadours" the only colored show that can go South and make money. We are also glad to state that Voelckel and Nolan have seen it to give the public a better show than they have presented for a number of years. It has always been a source of wonder to the writer why the managers of "Black Patti" have not written a better story around the great singer, given her a larger company and put her in the best houses controlled by Stair and Havlin. Yet when one considers that at the end of the season Voelckel and Nolan are able to show more profit than any of the other colored shows it can be readily seen that they are out to make money, even if they have to do one night stands week after week. Mme. Sissieretta Jones is reported to be in excellent voice this season, and her thirteenth year under the present management should be productive of many good results. SECOND WEEK AT HURR'S Moore's Mindstress Have Several New Features. Although this is only the second week of the New Orleans Minstrels at Huber's, Joe Moore has seen fit, with the assistance of Al Watts, to give the patrons of that house several new features, including a new after piece and a number of new songs. The management is so highly pleased with the show the minstrels are giving that it is likely they will remain at Huber's for several months. There is more ginger in evidence and the unnecessary talk has been cut. The girls in the show would form a better picture were they to smile as though they enjoyed their work from the beginning to end, instead of making those in the audience imagine that at intervals they were posing to have a picture taken with an a la pensive facial expression. Nettie Scott opens the minstrel first part this week with "Kiss Me Right," and scores. She is followed by De Van, the bass singer who, in his song—"Good Old Georgia," is heard to far more advantage than last week. Mamie Further next sings and acts "Love Me Like I Like To Be Loved." Midgert Price almost broke up the show with her song, "Stop Making Faces at Me," in which she was insisted by the chorus. We did not count the encore. George Bass proves a valuable addition to the company from a comedy standpoint. He is doing some good work, but should not be so busy during the singing of ballads and De Van's song. Laughs are not called for in such numbers and places the singers at a disadvantage. He sings "It Ain't What You Use to Have, It's What You've Got Right Now." The after piece, called "The Dark Town Court," produces many good laughs. The moon song which was THE FROGS TOP ROW-BOB COLE. LESTER A. WALTON. M ROW-TOM. BROWN. J.

The company is making its way to New York City. The latter part of the week it plays in Bridgeport and several one night stands in Connecticut, opening in Jersey City next week. The following week "Bandanna Land" will be at the West End Theatre, New York City SMART SET IN BOSTON Plays at the Globe Theater for the First Thur. Boston Oct 6 - After a jump out over a thousand miles, the Smart Set Company came to this city and opened at the Globe Theatre for a week. This is the first appearance of this company at the Globe Theatre, and Dudley and his people are doing their utmost to make a most favorable impression. Judging from the size of the houses at each performance, the theatre-goers of Boston are not tired of colored shows. Williams and Walker just left the city after playing here four weeks, and the Smart Set followed. THE RED MOON IN DETROIT. At Lyceum Theater This Week—Notice About the Members of Company, "Dexteron, October 6.—This is the sixth week of "The Red Moon" Company, which period at the Liceum Theatre Sunday for a week's engagement.

"The Pathway of Love." Frank Fowler Brown, Fannie Wise, Theo and Anna Pankey and Arthur Talbott have parts in the second act of "The Red Moon," never before attempted by colored actors. Who is who, and why? is the question after every performance of "The Red Moon." The cast and chorus of the show is so well balanced that to say which one is liked the best is positively a pretty puzzling proposition. Although having not a line, Marie Young never fails to attract attention to herself in the part of "Waneta, an Indian girl, by her lifelongness and pictureque appearance in the second act.

From the enthusiasm manifested toward everything in the show it must have been rendered in an enjoyable manner. Miss Irene Gaines is again in our company singing her rich contralto songs and is also understudy for a principal part for which the management has already seen that she is thoroughly fitted. Homer Tutt and Salem Tutt Whitney have an olio number that is out of the general run of entertainments and scores heavy hits nightly. "I Ain't Goin' To Let Nobody Make A Fool Out of Me," sung by Whitney, is very rich and up to the minute. The "Fighting Song," sung by Sallie Byrd and Chas. Bougia, receives a rousing reception. Daisy Brown sings "Texarkana Anna," accompanied by female chorus, and suits the large audiences nightly.

The tour includes performances in Switzerland, Belgium, Germany and Russia, and she will return by way of Austria, Italy and the south of France, and will appear in a new piece in Paris on January 5. Her repertoire for the continental excursion includes "L'Aiglon," "La Sorviere," "La Tosca," "Les Boufons," "Le Passe," "La Dame Aux Camelias," "Adrienne Lecourreur" and "Phedre." JAMES REESE EUROPE.

Allen and Harry S. Middleton Talk In support of the recent statement of THE Age that New York Negroes are practically solid for Taft and Hughes, facts and figures are coming in daily in support of that contention. The Negro is not being blindly led by his enemies or sentiments as many think and as his enemies' hope. He is practical and sensible to a degree little recognized. But while practical he is not venal. Although safely sensible he is keenly sensitive. In this week's paper might be mentioned the influential pastor of Mother Zion A. M. E, Church, Dr. J. H. McMullen. When interviewed last Saturday Rev. McMullen said: "In my congregation of a thousand members I find no detection whatever from the Republican ticket and Mr. Taft. While not denouncing anybody, if there is any common sense or philosophy in the appeal for Bryan I can't see it. "The Negro is not excited and he has nothing to be excited about. If Taft is elected, and I am sure he will be, he will have the Negro to thank in large measure." Editor T. Thomas Fortune recently said; "Everything indicates the election of Taft and Sherman. It is to be regretted that there is so much dissatisfaction among Negroes of New England, Ohio and Indiana. There is no basis of discontent which could not be safely composed. It is hoped that this will be done in time to prevent any considerable number of Negro voters giving aid and comfort to the Democratic enemy. Everything points to the election of Gov. Hughes, one of our wisest and most courageous Governors. "The success, of a man of Governor Hughes' courage and character is of more importance to Negro voters than others." One of the most influential hotel men in this community, respected by all who know him for his honesty and ability, is Mr. George A. Curry, of the Stuyvestant district of Brooklyn. Mr. Curry has amassed considerable wealth as the employer and director of hundreds of Negroes at hotels in Saratoga and New Orleans. At his home he said: "Taft is going to be elected. The Negro will do his share in electing him, too. From sources which I can trust I believe Taft will be one of the greatest friends the Negro has ever had in the Presidential chair." Discussing the remarkable change that has been wrought recently in the morality of New York State, he said: "With two more years of Hughes, New York State will be thoroughly clean. The people are going to re-elect him." Mr. George W. Allen, president of St. Mark's Lyceum, the oldest and perhaps the largest literary society in New York, said: "Just say for me, the Negro cannot afford to let the Democratic party get in power." Dancing Master M. M. Mimms, a success at his business and with a large following, said: "Every Negro who has a family and children and every sensible Negro will vote for Taft. Every time a colored man thinks of the Democratic party he sees Tillman and Vardaman staring him in the face." Mr. Harry Y. Middleton, president of the Colored Republican Club, the largest and most effective Negro political organization in the country, said Saturday in the palatial club rooms: "At the extreme outside there will not be a five per cent. defection from Taft and Hughes among New York Negroes. The majority of Negroes whom I meet on street corners and in barber shops all state frankly their Republicanisms. Some will express dissatisfaction, but they, with the others, sum it up in some such way as this: 'But after all, I guess Taft's all right. His father was all right—an Abolitionist, you know. He said we were Americans just the same as he is. He is going to get my vote. I want to see if he will protect us and our rights, as he has promised.'" Ask a Negro about the Democratic party and he will say at once: "They don't want you. Some few want to use you, that's all. Did not Bryan say the Democrats in the South had to disfranchise the Negro and he didn't blame her. I wouldn't vote for him for $5,000." A local preacher with a large congregation of the middle classes of Negroes said in his sermon last Sunday night: "It is more impossible for the Negro to be a Democrat than it is for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. Steel will bend and stretch, but the Democratic party cannot stretch enough to take in the black man so long as the 'South is in control." BLACKS FACE TO ROB White Man, Caught by Police With Ear Excused—Carried Iron Bolt and Razor Frustrated in his attempt to waylay and rob Desso Fuchs, who keeps a saloon at No. 1446 Broadway, his former employer, Frank Grandre, a waiter, of No. 31 East 130th street, declared to the police that he had been forced to become a thief because he was unable to obtain work. When arrested Grandre was made up as a Negro with his face blackened and carried a long iron bolt wrapped in a towel and a razor. Until a few weeks ago Grandre had been employed in Schultz's cafe, at No. 1446 Broadway, which is owned by Fuchs, who lives at No. 104 West 130th street. Mr. Fuchs discharged Grandre and since then the latter has been unable to obtain work. A few days ago, the police say, Grandre met Harry Mayland, a bartender in that Fuchs' place, and proposed to him that they hold up the proprietor some night, and after knocking him out, take the heirs of the saloon away from him and rob the place. He explained to Mayland, it is alleged, that Fuchs being a cripple the job would be an easy one. Mayland notified the police and Detectives Little, Walsh and Shea were assigned to the case. Two of the 'detectives shadowed Grandpre, while the third followed Fuchs. Grandpre, when he left his home, wore a frock coat and a derby hat. The detectives say they saw him enter a house in West 118th street, and that when he came out he had on different clothes and that his face was blackened and he had on black gloves, giving him the appearance of a Negro. In a short time Fuchs came along, but the detectives decided to arrest their man before he had a chance to make an attack on his victim, and they walked over, to him. Grandpre saw them coming and ran into a basement. When the detectives followed him Grandpre surrendered. COL RUCKER TALKS POLITICS Han. Sounded Sentiment Throughout Country—People for Tuft. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 5.—Col. Henry A. Rucker, of Atlanta, for nearly twelve years Collector of Internal Revenue for the District of Georgia, was in the city a few days ago and kindly consented to take on a number of pertinent issues for the benefit of the public. Col. Rucker is a recognized leader of thought and action in his State and is one of the best-informed and most highly-regarded men in the country, irrespective of race. His opinions are deferred to by the substantial forces, white and black, in Atlanta, and what he has to say is listened to at all times with credence and respect. In response to a question as to the extent of his travels in the North, Col. Rucker said: "I have touched at a number of points in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland, and affil only resting here a short time before returning home. I enjoyed every moment of my stay in the North and cannot described how deply I was impressed with the solid prosperity of the men I met at the Baltimore convention of the National Negro Business - League and the scientific knowledge shown by the professional forces at the National Medical Association's meeting at New York. "While in New York I had the pleasure of coming into contact with Mr. Frank H. Hitchcock, the very capable and resourceful Chairman of the Republican National Committee, and found him to be as affable and as genial as one could expect of a man with the great responsibility he has resting upon his shoulders. He knows men and what they can do and no time for chimerical schemes that will not stand the acid test. Yet he is tactful and behind a gracious smile there are evidences of an unusual strength of character, reserve force and natural executive ability. There seemed to be a commendable degree of harmony among the men associated with Mr. Hitchcock, and the headquarters were redolent with that sunshine and cheer which presage a victorious outcome of the campaign they are carrying on." "Did you sound public sentiment during your travels and learn how the Negro voters are feeling about the situation?" your correspondent asked. "Yes; I have talked with scores of our men in various walks of life, and I think I was able to sound sentiment with some assurance of accuracy. Wherever I made inquiries or noted conditions I was gratified to find a marked change of sentiment toward Mr. Taft. Many spoke of him in culeogistic terms, and confessed that they had been led into error concerning him by the clamor of hot-headed persons who had painted him in colors he did not deserve, both as to the Brownville affair and the suffrage. "I think this change of front is largely due to two things. First, the President's assumption of the entire responsibility of the Brownsville episode; and, secondly, our people are opening their eyes to the fact that the Democratic party, not contented with our elimination from politics as far as it is concerned, is now doing its utmost to get the Republican party to drop us. This latter plan would mean our exclusion-from participation in any and all politics and ultimately bar us from all means of protection and defence enjoyed by other American citizens, whether naturalized or unto the manor born." "What effect is the advent of Prof DuBois having upon the political equation?" "Dr. DuBois? He is a fellow-townman of mine, and the people have more respect for his scholarship than for his political wisdom. The trouble with DuBois is that he waited too long to make a beginning in politics. A man, commencing at his age is just as apt to begin wrong as right—offener the former than the latter. He started at the wrong end to serve the race with which he is identified. He is a learned man, and knows much that is in books; but he is a weakling in politics, for of that important and intricate science he knows absolutely nothing. He will be disgusted with himself and with the whole political business when he discovers what a small number of Negroes he is able to mislead and keep misted "There is no widespread result against the national ticket, as far as I can see. The Negro people can have no common cause with Bryan and his followers, for the possible success of the Democracy is necessarily based upon frauds against the ballot box, with the Negro race as the chief sufferer. A Democratic President would name enough Justices of the Supreme Court to give that party a majority of the court—and then we might see the end of Negro citizenship, for it might not be a difficult thing for this tribunal of last resort to decide, in a test case, that the War Amendments were improperly adopted. "We can trust Mr. Taft to do the right thing by us, and I hope every Negro in the sleatable States will cast his vote for the Republican ticket, as the safest way to preserve ourselves from Democratic misrule. There are many excellent Democrats in the South, but they are not the controlling factors, and the record of the party does not commend itself to the Negro's confidence, to put it mildly." "What were your impressions of the National Negro Business League's Baltimore meeting?" "Well," replied Col. Rucker, "I think the recent meeting was a huge success. That was the third one I have attended. I saw marked improvement in both the personnel and in the quality of the papers presented. They were both of a high order and representative of the spirit the race needs to give it standing THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1966 among the world's foremost business men. In the nine years of the League's existence the business of the race has increased to a marvelous extent and it has more than justified the expectations of its promoters. "An increase of the number of banks from two in 1990 to forty in 1998, directly traceless to its influence, is a big father in the cup of the organization. And, I may add, in this connection, that any man who can unite and keep a body of first-class Negro men together, as Dr. Washington has done in the work of the National Negro Business League, deserves the plausibility of the entire American people. I was glad to notice the trend of good feeling toward Mr. Taft, which pervaded the meeting, although no formal expression was made by the organization as such. The League is not a political body and matters touching politics are discussed in private as individuals. As business men, anxious to maintain the high-tide of commercial prosperity, I found the members of the League to be overwhelmingly for Taft's election, and I believe he will come through with a safe margin in November." LA ROSE PAYS BIVIDEND Collapse of "Orphan" Copper Co.—Great Future for Mixed Copper Co. From the developments of the past week it appears that a more appropriate name could not have been devised for a certain widely-heralded, flamboyantly advertised copper company than that of "Orphan" Copper Company. The stock of that company made its appearance on the New York market several months ago. Since then it has been indifferently traded in, with prices ranging within narrow limits. But not until a certain Boston promoter took it up that behind it was seen the hand of rank manipulation. This manipulation was accompanied by great broadsides of advertisements in which were set forth in catchy phrases the great profits that would surely come Jo all who would "adopt" this "orphan." Oh, yes, this "orphan" would reach maturity in a few months, and out of gratitude for past favors he would return at least two dollars for every one dollar bestowed on him in his time of need. Was the "orphan" taken at his word? It appears so, for at least one of the faithful brought his tale of woe to the writer. It was a tale such as it often heard from the lips of those who put their money in "newspaper" stocks—a tale of bitter disappointment and loss. Through sheer manipulation the price of the stock of that Orphan Copper Company was marked up in about ten days from $4 to $25 per share. That is, it looked to the uninitiated as though it was selling at so high a figure. As soon as any quantity of stock was offered for sale the price of the stock tumbled from $8 to $1 per share. What the "orphan" will do in the future remains to be seen. He may yet do all that has been claimed for him, but at this writing it is hard to find anyone who will speak a good word for the "orphan." His lot seems to be a hard one, in that he is severely let alone to suffer all the "pangs and arrows of outrageous fortune." As was stated at the beginning of this series of articles, I wish them to guide the money of those who are disposed to invest into such channels as will prove profit. To that end I have given the history of various properties, each of which will stand the secrest kind of investigation. For instance, I set forth at great length the merits of the La Rose Mine and stated that its earnings warranted the payment of dividends. It is a source of satisfaction to inform the readers of THE ACR that the La Rose mine has just declared a dividend of 3 per cent, quarterly, payable. October 20, to stockholders of record October 2. As the United States Government is buying silver for subsidiary coinage at the rate of 125,000 ounces per week, or 65,000 ounces yearly, this new demand is almost certain to be reflected in higher prices than are now being paid for the white metal. The earnings of the La Rose mine, in common with other silver producers, will be favorably affected by any rise which may take place in the price of silver. La Rose is now selling around $500 a share, but it is expected to sell around $5 within the next six months. Let us now turn our attention to another property which has back it a strong group of financiers and which has all the carmarks of a great mine. The Miami Copper Company is the corporate name of the property, with a capital stock of $3,000,000, divided into 600,000 shares of $5 each. The property is located in the Globe district, Arizona. The eminent mining engineer, I. Park Channing, estimates that the Miami Copper Company has in sight 6,000,000 tons of 3 per cent copper ore. On a 13 cent copper market this ore will yield a net profit of $14,000,000, or nearly five times its entire capitalization. If this be true the outstanding stock of the company is worth close on to $25 per share. The present price of the shares is around $10, but in my opinion the price is a little high for the actual work which has been accomplished. The price was marked up from $5 to $12.75 for the purpose of enabling the company to market 100,000 shares at $10 per share. Now that these shares have been successfully marketed, I believe that by waiting a while the public will be able to get in around $8 a share. If Miami Copper should happen to touch that figure, in my opinion, the stock can be bought for big profits on a long pull. And in this company let me emphasize the point that in investing one must not only take paints to get in a good proposition, but to get in it at the right price. The Calimet and Hecla has made big money for those who bought its stock from $10 up to $400 per share, but what about the fellow who paid $1,000 per share for it? Standard Oil has proved a bonanza for those who bought it from $100 up to $300 per share, but what about those who paid $700 a share for it? Miami Copper Company is undoubtedly a great property, but do not pay too much for it. Wait. You may be able to get it cheaper than the price at which it is now selling, $10 per share. ROBERT W.

To-day the colored men of the country, starting with freedom and nothing else have property valued at $900,000,000. Who made these wonderful achievement possible? The Republican party. "There isn't a single thing he's ever done for the Negro and he's never said that he'd do a thing for us. He doesn't dare to, for his support comes from those Southern States where Jim Crow legislation has been past. On the other hand, that splendid man, William H. Taft, comes out boldly and states that he's opposed to the 'grandfather clause' and that if elected he'll see that every citizen, irrespective of race, creed or color, will, if possible, be secured in the rights to which the Constitution of the United States entitles him. He represents all that is noblest and purest and best in American institutions. There is really no comparison between the men. On the one hand there is the man of executive ability, the trained man, against the dreamer. On the other hand the man ready for the emergency, who possesses a magic wand, waving it here, there and ponder, making troubles disappear, and on the other the man who would do more to harm the prosperity of the country than any mar in a century, a man with a crazy quilt of notions.
