ENTHUSIASTIC FOR OLCOTT Negro Voters Great Representative Who Spoke Against Heflin CROWDS HEAR HIM Assures Voters He Will Look After Their Interests in the Future as He Has in the Past In his speeches to his Negro constituents Mr. Olcott promises that if he is re-elected he will be in a position to look after their interests during his third term even more than during his first two terms in Washington. Other Republican speakers are advising the voters to support Mr. Olcott to a man, as defection on the part of the Negroes would furnish the Southern Democrats in Congress cause to sarcastically remark, from time to time, that Congressman Olcott's efforts to champion the rights of his Negro constituents had evidently met with their disfavor, as he was returned to Congress with a greatly reduced vote, due to the Negro voters supporting a Democratic candidate. Rhineland Waldo, the Democrat running for Congress in the Fifteenth District, is reported to be making a bid for the Negro vote, and is said to be visiting saloons and buying drinks, believing that in this manner he can get the good will of the voters. It has not been forgotten that last spring, with Heffler's objection was introduced, all the Democratic Confronted from New York City voted with Hefflin, while the Republicans from this city were with Mr. Olcott. In all measures affecting the Negro Waldo would side with the Democrats from the South, as have the other Representatives from Manhattan on each and every occasion. Since the publication in last week's Act of Mr. Olcott's attitude on the Heflin resolution, he has received many letters from the Negroes in his district assuring him of their support. In referring to these letters the Congressman stated to a representative of The Act that to receive such kindly expressions was particularly gratifying and showed that his efforts have been appreciated. Congressman's Olcott's Record. The active fight made by Mr. Olcott against the Heflin resolution I not the only act he has done since a Representative that merits the commendation of the Negro voters. He is the author of the Negro bill that introduced the Fifty-ninth Congress, numbered 24,740, which provided for the appointment of a cashier in the office of Recorder of Deeds at a yearly salary of $1,800. Had the bill passed it would have benefited a Negro; but after receiving a favorable report it was learned by the Democrats that the Olcott bill was introduced to give a position to a Negro, and it was defeated. It is the intention of Congressman Olcott to introduce a similar bill for passage at the next Congress. The Byrd Bill. During the last session of Congress Representative Byrd, of Mississippi, introduced a bill to make it unlawful for any person of Caucasian blood, or their descendants, to intermarry with a Negro; and that should any person do so the marriage should be declared null and void and the parties to the marriage convicted and sent to jail for not less than two years, or fined $500. White Byrd had no idea of the resolution passing, he was looking for cheap morality; and, in the case when Southern Democrats are unable to get into print on their merits, he presented the resolution to show his conditions. THE NEW YORK AGE. from Mississippi that he was doing a great work in their behalf. Many letters were sent to Mr. Ocott from the Fifth Congressional District opposing the Byrd bill. Particularly interested in the killing of the proposed measure was Wm. L. Bulkeley, Principal of Public School No. 80, who wrote a letter to Mr. Ocott, in which he said in part: "I我强烈 urge your opposition to the famines H. R. R. 4450. It is another attempt to get our National Legislature to constrain race discrimination. The political move is a shrewd one—another one of the many clever tricks of the Southern politician to checkmate friends of justice among Northern white men and to further crush the colored man. The cleverness of the move is apparent. The proposer of the measure knows that it is a subject which easily rallies friends; that even many of those who would be ready to oppose it are a raid of being held up to ridicule, as if they advocated miscognition. The proposed act is as unnecessary as vicious. Intermarriage of the races is out of the question, even in the most liberal States. Neither race, as a [Name] whole, is bankering for it. Exceptional cases of intermarriage have occurred in all parts of the world; but it is not general, and, possibly, never will be. "The only thing to be gained by such an act is the publishing to all of the States and to the world that race prejudice is enthroned at last in our national capital. It would be an open invitation to any State to proceed with an legislation it please, however, to humiliate it. Let me entreat you, dear sir, to use your influence to prevent this and any other legislation which increases the already too great unrest among us as a people. I beg you to let us feel that our legislators at Washington are concerned about the welfare of our country as a whole to take time to descend to villainous assaults upon a race, be that race ever so weak and helpless. Before receiving the letters from Principal Bulkley and others, Congressman Olcott had seen fit to oppose the passage o, the bill. At the time the Bulkley letter reached Washington Congressman Olcott was out of the city, but his private secretary at once took up the matter with Clerk of the House Harry Barney, who forwarded a report of all the Negro Flemings in a letter, state: "I enclose a copy of bill and report. Mr. Olcott opposed it in committee and was instrumental in its failure to be called up for action on the floor. It died on the calendar. If your correspondent is a Negro he cannot, fail to approve Mr. Olcott's action.

Flemming informed all the Negroes of the Fifteenth District who wrote to Congressman Olcott that their representative had opposed the bill, adding that the information was given in order to show that Congressman Olcott had been trying to carry out the policy which he proclaimed during the last campaign. Congressman Olcott received a large number of letters from New York commending him on the opposition he had shown to the Byrd bill. One of the letters was from Principal, Bulkley, who expressed as appreciation of the Congressman's good work. IN THE MATTER OF THE Lee bill, Congressman Olcott was one of the principal supporters several years ago. Samuel Lee, a Negro from South Carolina, was voted the right of a contested seat in the Forty-seventh Congress in the House, but had never received his pay as a representative. Congressman Olcott was one of the prominent Republicans who got through a bill awarding $10,482 to Lee's heirs for salary allowances.

There are not talking much about slavery, but are pounding home the potent truths of economic and civic advantages that are coming to us to-day through the prosperity-producing policies of the Republican party.

They know the political game; they enjoy the confidence of themselves, and the result next Tuesday will show that the sensible Negro voters are loyal to the core to their standard-hearers, Taft and Sherman. The visit of Judge Taft to the State last week opened the eyes of hundreds to his high character, generous disposition and broad Americanism, and all will agree with Senator Hemenway, Harry S. New, Chairman Goodrich and the other party leaders that Indiana is safe for the national ticket by from 25,000 to 40,000 majority. It is a peculiar coincidence that with the disappearance of factional disturbance from the Democratic camps, she Negro Democrats, the days of Taggart, Wilson, Safm and Lieber," were a militant host, seem to have "laid down" in this campaign, "Billy Miller, George Goins, "Lawyer" Henderson (refugee from North Carolina), and one or two others of the smaller fry, are making vain attempts to infuse life into the corpse of the bronze Democracy, but no headway is being made.

No money is being agent on the "bronze Democracy," hence "independence" is a scarce commodity in these parts. Lawyer James T. V. Hill, the sometime leader of the Negro Democra- cis, is attending strictly to his law practice, and trying to care for living and buy a home for himself and family. He is, by all odds, the ablest of the lot, but growing weary of the party's ingratitude and recognizing the futility of attempt to apologize for the shortcomings of the unreconstructed bourbons, he got "cold feet" and quit the business in disgust. A. E. Manning, who succeeded to the leadership of the remnant, is working at some little job at the Democ- ratic headquarters in Chicago, but quietly admitting the hopelessness of it as a danger. He takes the little juice remaining, in the lemon, prepara- tory to a retirement from politics for four more years. BIG DISCUS IN PHILI- Separate Sch tion Pr Trou MEETS OP Majority of Negro Opposed to Sep- and Colored Cities PHILADELPHIA, O past two weeks the ing separate schools dren of this city has much animated disc The Indianapolis World, his personal organ, under the management of Gurley Brewer, is a staunch Taft advocate, as is the Recorder, George Stewart's paper, which has a strong city and State following. "Tom" Taggart, who could formerly be depended upon to furnish the sinews of war," is taking care of his business," he said. This is passing out no crisp greenbacks this year to his old allies of color. Negro Democracy is at a low cbb in the Hoosier Commonwealth. Finally, the Negroes of Indiana have no earthly use for John W. Kern, the Democratic candidate for Vice-President. They would not vote for him for Governor and will have none of him for the second office in the nation. Kern has been known for years as a rank Negro-hater. When Taggart used to court the black vote, it is known that Kern had no sympathy with the movement, believing the Democratic party to be a white man's party. He plainly indicated on more than one occasion that he had no faith in the pretensions of the Negro to Democratic leanings, and never took kindly to the idea of having to come into personal contact with his colored fellow-partisans on terms of equality. When snowed under for Governor in 1900, he was very bitter against the Negro voters, and after his second and still more disastrous defeat for the Governorship in 1904, he was furious and indulged in the fire of his own party, that would have done credit to Tillman himself. He even went so far as to hint very broadly that Southern methods ought to be employed to keep black men away from the polls. So, the Negro Democrats are not "tearing their shirts" to land Kern into the Vice-Presidency, and no Negro Republican would prefer him to "Sunny Jim" Sherman. Indeed, it is pretty generally admitted that Kern has brought no strength of any kind to the Democratic ticket, and to all intents and purposes, the nomination was thrown away when it was handed over to him.

White Man Lured Georgia Girl From Home—Alderman Indicted. THOMASVILLE, Ga., Oct. 24.—W. H. Mitchell, an Alderman and a son of the man who founded Thomasville, was indicted to-day by the Grand Jury on a charge of attempting to assault Miss Lucile Linton, who is the wealthiest young woman in the city. The alleged assault occurred about two weeks ago when Miss Linton was lured from her home by a forged note brought by a white man whose face was blackened and who was dressed as a Negro woman. The girl supposed the person was a Negro and did not discover otherwise until a clump of woods was reached. Her screams brought assistance and her assistant fled. The community thought the assault had been attempted by a Negro until Miss Linton wenkbefore the Grand Jury and told her story. Two days after the assault Mitchell was shot, as he asserted, by a man who tried to kill him. Miss Linton says she recognized Mitchell during the struggle by his voice. The person who lured Miss Linton from home took her away in Mitchells buggy, but Mitchell says the buggy was stolen. Miss Linton is an anphan who inherited a large fortur Mitchell is married and has children Ohan who in- Mitchell is mar- BIG DISCUSSION IN PHILADELPHIA PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 27.—For the past two weeks the question of providing separate schools for the colored children of this city has been a theme for much animated discussion. There are some Negroes in Philadelphia who favor separate schools, contending that colored schools would mean that more Negro teachers would get work. However, the majority of citizens are bitterly opposed to the establishment of separate schools in the "Quaker City," which they characterize as an act of "Jim Crowism." The Superintendent of Public Schools has written letters to many prominent Negroes here asking their views in the matter. As the result he has received protest after protest, against giving the production serious consideration. Except in local schools, exclusively populated by Negroes in Philadelphia has all along pursued the policy of conducting mixed schools. It is true that mixed schools do not usually furnish work for a large number of colored teachers as in St. Louis, Washington and Baltimore, and many Philadelphians of late years have left their home for other cities to carn their livelihood. The people of Philadelphia have always declared that they preferred less work for their children as teachers and more recognition as citizens, holding that establishment of separate schools in Philadelphia would mean an abridgment of their citizenship. The Negroes of Philadelphia have taken up the fight against separate schools. Particularly bitter is the Christian Recorder, which publishes the following under the heading: "Philadelphia and Jim Crow" Schools." "Outsiders would likely little dream that 'Jim Crowism' is a feature of the public school system in the Quaker City. One would be less inclined to reach this conclusion in the light of the agitation against a similar phase of the proposition to be applied to the high schools of the city and throughout the State. Judging from the scope and contents of meetings held and correspondence yented by leading members of the race on the above question within the past two weeks, it might be supported. In the case of the inquisitions separate school system that abounds in sections where a different civilization exists. But, alas! Consistency is a jewel of great rarity among us here as among others elsewhere and this being the case, our people have submitted to 'Jim Crow' schools in Philadelphia during many moons, although they are now waking up from their timeworn slumber, rubbing their eyes and making the welkin ring with lusty and telling protests against the insidious attempt to foist the nightmare of 'Jim Crowism' in the high schools. It is said that the secret of the race's submission to 'Jim Crow' storage is the copied few lore shared teachers in the schools or rooms set apart for the race. The same sop is offered members of the race who become qualified and eligible for positions in the high schools, but who at present are denied the opportunity of thus teaching on account of race prejudice. "We make no special criticism upon our leaders for kicking vigorously against the 'suggested act' to separate the high schools of the city and elsewhere in the State according to the various races and nationalities residing in their neighborhood. Letters from the Superintendent will ask their judgment on the subject have rightly resulted in fusilades of protests through the mails, the press and public meetings as well. It is likely now that the project will die a boring and that at least the co-education of the colored and white children will continue in the high schools of the City of Brotherly Love. African Methodism through the Philadelphia Preachers' Meeting has as usual made its contribution and the case of equality the justice and it is to be hoped that the first will now be directed against the caste monster whose unsightly head is asserted in many rooms and buildings in the public schools within the city limits." DISSATISFACTION IN CHURCH. Members Said To Be Averse To Political Activity of Rev. Waldron. Washington, Oct. 27.—Rumor has it that there is some dissatisfaction in the Shiloh Baptist Church, due to the political activity of the Rev. J. Milton Waldron, and that if the dissatisfaction becomes more severe, Waldron's resignation may be forthcoming. One of the members of the congregation stated: "There is deep-seated dissatisfaction among the rank and file of the Shiloh Baptist Church," said a well-known churchman, who is said to be familiar with conditions existing among the members of that flock. "The trouble is over the political activity of the pastor, Rev. J. Milton Waldron. He is a man of piety and good deeds and conducts hik church on high-tomed spiritual and business plane. But, nevertheless, his active support of Bryan and uncompromising opposition to Judge Taft has created divisions that can never be brought to gather again, and the welfare of the organization is measured as long as he remains in charge. Members of the church who have felt the sting of disfranchisement in Virginia, and who have writhed under the lash in Georgia can never forgive him for exposing the cause of a disloyalty to the church, a sponsible for their woes and degradation, and they cannot have the confidence in him that should gaint between pastor and flock. Unless there is a decided change in feeling, there is apt to spring up a formidable revolt against Mr. Vidron that may lead to his resign. "ELECT A REPUBLICAN CONGRESS" Sayu Mr. K. W. Gifford in Ungap Res- olution of Hardesty Passage. Dr. M. W. Gilbert, pastor of Mount Olivet Baptist Church, urges the Negroes of New York City to return the Republican Congressmen to Washington and insure the administration of a Republican Congress. The views of Dr. Gilbert are expressed in a letter to T. Thomas Fortune, who requested him to write a letter endorsing the candidacy of Congressman Herbert Parsons of the Thirteenth District. Mr. Fortune's letter to Congressman Parsons: October 28, 1908. Hon. Herbert Parsons, 1 Madison avenue, New York, N. Y. NOE, NEW YORK, N. 1. DEAN SIR: I hand you herewith Dr. Gilbert's letter, which I requested him to write, endorsing your candidacy for reelection to Congress from the Thirteenth New York District. While endorsing what Dr. Gilbert says concerning your candidacy, I wish in my own way to urge the Negro voters of your district to support you because of the good and effective work you have done as their representative in the House of Representatives and because of the splendid service you have rendered as Chairman of the Republican Congress of the United States faithful servant" should be continued in the public service, and I hope that the Negroes of the Thirteenth District will vote to continue you in Congress as their representative. Very respectfully. New York, October 24. Dr. Gilbert's letter: DEAR MR. FORTUNE: In the present campaign, while the triumph of the Republican candidates for President and Vice-President is carnely to be desired, yet it is of no less vital importance to the colored voters of the country to use all diligence to elect Republican Congressmen. The threat of Southern Congressmen and politicians' to ultimately contest the validity of the 15th Amendment to the Constitution, the bold attempt a few months ago by the Democratic Congressmen to pass a "Jim Crow" law for the National Capital, and its defeat by Republican Congressmen, the extension of the Constitution and Dixon's line, and the repeated efforts of Democrats to invade West Virginia and Missouri with the same discriminating laws, indicate the duty of every colored man who is interested in the welfare of his people to exert himself in behalf of the election of a Republican Congress, however he may choose to vote on merely local issues. New York City has been fortunate in her Republican Congressmen, and particularly so in Congressmen Parons, Olcott and Bennett. It must not be overlooked or forgotten by the colored voters of New York City that these three gentlemen did not forget their obligations to their colored constituents when they earnestly contributed to the defeat of the "Jim Crow" car bill of Congressman Heflin, of Alabama, a Southern Democrat, who fought to disgrace the National Capital with the barbarous law that characterizes Alabama and all of the Southern States, and who sought to emphasize his "Jim Crow" ideas by shooting a colored man in a Washington street car very soon after the defeat of his bill. I earnestly entreat all the colored voters of Mr. Parsons' district to labor earnestly and vote unanimously for his return to Congress. Having befriended us here when we supported them, we must "sake him when effort is being made to secure his defeat. M. W. GILLETT, Pastor Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, New York City. October 24.

PRICE, 5 CENTS TAFT VICTORY IS PREDICTED Canvass Shows That the Republicans Will Sweep the Country ELECTORAL VOTES Indications are that Taft and Sherman Will Receive in the Neighborhood of Three Hundred Attempt of Negro Democrats to Main Issue & Normal Failure—Negroes Aroused Over Actions of Democrats of Georgia and Won Virginia WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 28.—The time has come for the last words of this memorable campaign to be said. The contest has been fought out on its merits and all indications are that the Republicans will win. William Howard Taft will count fully three hundred votes in the electoral college and will be the next President of the United States. This glorious result will be registered at the polls next Tuesday when the sovereign voters of the nation will have performed the last function necessary to make their choice known to the world. The campaign has been unique in many respects. For the first time in twenty years a division of the Negro vote has been seriously discussed. This was due primarily to the feeling aroused by the discharge of the troops of the 25th Infantry, without honor, because of alleged participation in the "shooting-up" of Brownsville. Whatever may the merits of that controversy, the agreement between the elements of the party that had to do with the Congressional investigation, made it the property of the next session of Congress, and it has had no standing as an issue in the present campaign. The solidity of the Democratic party against the restoration of the soldiers, while the Republicans differed only as to method of reinstatement, also tended to eliminate the controversy from the domain of politics; because of the failure of the Democrats to promise some advantage, in the event of their success, there is no incentive to join issue and the matter stands just where it was left at the adjournment of Congress. In December the question of adjustment will be taken up and disposed of along lines of equity and justice to all concerned. The Negro Democrats have tried to thresh some wheat out of the trouble, but their efforts have availed nothing, and the crux of their campaign of misrepresentation was broken on the wheel at the very outset. Then came the attempt to make it out that Judge Taft was in sympathy with the disfranchising amendments in operation in South Carolina. This was not effectively nullified by the candidate's speech of acceptance, in which he announced that he stood with his party squarely on the plank declaring for the enforcement, without reservation, of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Federal Constitution, and backed it up by further assurances of his sympathy with the civil and political rights of the race and his endorsement of the higher as well as the industrial education of the colored people. At various points in his Western tour, notably at Omaha, Kansas City, Topeka, St. Louis and at Cadiz, O., he continued to emphasize his position in favor of the largest opportunities for the Negro race. This frankness and whole-souled sincerity won the admiration and support of the Negroes everywhere, and in contrast with Bryan's silence, the campaign of the Negro Democrats again languished. The denunciation of Rev. S. L. Corrothers as a liar by Judge Tatt for asserting that the latter advocated the repeal of the 15th Amendment, and Corrothers' guilty evasion of the consequences of his stupid camel, was "the last straw that broke the camel's back," and from that time to the present, the substantial Negroes of the and law enforcement, including military personnel, until to-day there are no evidences of disaffection visible to the naked eye. If there are still differences of opinion as to this isolated act or that the feeling that all must stand together for the common good is so strong that minor troubles are absorbed by the larger interests of the race. Apathy has been replaced by intense zeal for the cause of the party of freedom, human rights and economic advancement, and Taft is certain to get 99 per cent. of the Negro vote in all the States in which it cuts an appreciable figure. It has dawned upon our leaders and rank and file alike that Democratic success at this time would be a calamity. Taft and Republicanism means everything to the race that promises educational, commercial, financial and political uplift: Bryan and Democracy Are Growing and offer nothing but are umpired, Jim Crowism, civic reservation and universal degradation: It is not difficult, therefore, to predict the way the Negro, will vote go next Tuesday; nor is it strange that there will be no sulking or remaining away from the polls through indifference. With the Negro, as with the white man, self-preservation is the first law of nature. Mr. Joseph S. McLane will have charge of the Royal Poinsettia Hotel at Palm Beach, Fla., this winter, as head writer. This being one of this largest winter, reports in the country, during their busiest season, there are from 150 to 600 waiters on the floor at one manal Mr. McLane needs no introduction. For years he has been going to and fro, working himself up from the side to his present position. We congratulate him and hope sincerely that he may achieve the same good name and reputation that his former leader, Mr. Fred Allen, did, who departed this life October 4. The Hotel Bellmen had their regular monthly meeting at the usual time and place. Mr. James A. Denham, treasurer and Mr. W. A. Jones, chairman of the house committee, submitted their last quarterly report ending September, as follows: The receipts taken in were, $992 cash; expenses paid out were, $418; leaving balance of $174. Mr. Julian Nelson, chairman of the banking committee, reported $4,351.14 in bank. Mr. W. H. Klass and Mr. John J. Hill sent in announcements of their marriage, which were recorded. The president also made an urgent request on all of the members to make a personal visit on Mr. H. B. Jones, No. 883 Third avenue, who is very sick. A new member is Mr. William Reed. On Thursday evening, October 13, there was a special meeting called by Mr. W. O. Murphy, president of the Hotel Bellmen's Beneficial Association, at his residence, 18 West 134th street. The occasion was the interest of the colored hotel men of the city of New York. Among those present were: Mr. Lee president of the Head and Side Waiters Association, and his secretary, Mr. Butler. Mr. Joseph McLean sent his note of regret. Mr. Murphy was speaker of the house, and Mr. F. Franklin was chairman and Mr. B. L. Hicks was secretary. The object was the discussion of conditions and their betterment, and also to more congenial union between the head men of the two associations. Mr. Murphy stated that the club rate now open in the hotel bellmen's would remain open until November 25, 1908, making the admission fee $3, including doctor's certificate. Many of the head men present decided to make applications at the next meeting. Application Blanks were furnished by Mr. Joseph White. Among those present were: Messrs. F. Franklin, A. T., Downs, W. L. Fisher, Wilson Thompson, Joseph White, G. L. Wynne, George Covall, Charles Wilson, William Jones, Julian Nelson, Joseph Pleasant, John Pierce, Nicholas Battle, William Giles and J. W. Robinson. A committee was appointed on resolutions to make report at the next meeting. After a successful season for the summer period of 1908 at the Fort William Henry Hotel, Lake George, the following is a resume: At the close of the season the Fort William Henry bellmen gave a banquet in honor of their chief, Mr. W. J. Lee. The affair was a grand one. The after-dinner speeches and toasts were excellent. The bellmen gave their chief a handsome Japanese tea set. The presentation was made by Mr. S. N. Johnson, of Baltimore. Mr. John C. Christopher, chairman of the committee of arrangements, was assisted by Mr. Junious Boyd in entertaining the guests. The following were present: Mr. J. Hamilton Brooks (head waiter), Messrs. Thomas Price, Martin Beecher, Ranney Anderson, B. F. Johnson, Jos. Yerby, Wm. Powel, Bernard Nelson, Rufus Yerby, Henry Jenkins, Wm. Colerhan, W. F. Thompson, Geo. H. Illbourne, George McIntyre, Andrew Condy, Ward and Bird. We are glad to hear from Mr. Nicholas Battle, head hallman at Hotel Majestic. Mr. J. A. Davis, one of the founders of the Head Bellmen, is in the city for a few days en route to Jacksonville, Florida. Mr. Samuel A. Kelsey, real estate and insurance agent, was the guest of Mr. George Ledbetter at the club a few evenings ago. Mr. Ledbetter sang a few selections, one of which was very sweet, entitled, "For All Eternity." It would be a favor to me for all head waiters and head hallmen to notify me of their place of booking and also the dates for the winter season. Address James A. Parker, 495 Seventh avenue.

Stewart; Lincoln Institute Note The very successful Summer school term of Lincoln Institute closed August 15 and September 1, i.e., a vacation of two ensuing weeks; ushered in the opening of the Fall term with a full and regular corps of teachers on hand. We have remarked on other occasions that Lincoln Institute approximates continuous session more nearly than any other school of its class in the country; if not, let us hear from the others. The opening was unusually large; now, at the close of the second month, about 500 students have matriculated every day adds to the increasing number, and it must be remembered that Missouri has received a large population of color. Many other States, however, are represented, for this school has become widely and favorably known under the administration of its noble head, Dr. B. F. Allen. The love and esteem in which he is held by his faculty and students was publicly indicated on the occasion of his birthday, September 8, when he joined with a large silk numbering and the latter with a valuable cold-bed cane. The moral, as well as the mental, ideal, set by Dr. Allen for his students is high, and his timely chapel and Sunday talks to the young men and women who attend the institution are found, sooner or later, in the library and industrial work has secured gold medals and other awards in the great expositions and world's fairs, and may be seen in the office as proof of the estimate placed upon the work of the institution. The college and athletic spirit is endorsed by the administration; is maintained by the students, and Lincoln Institute's valor on the gridiron and the diamond is acknowledged far and wide.

GEORGETOWN.—All Republicans who were so fortunate as to receive their registration certificates during the present year are urged to go to the polls on Tuesday, November 3, and deposit their ballots for Taft and Sherman. Under the existing state of affairs to some extent it may seem useless to vote, but it is essential that our candidates be given as many votes as possible. We would that our Northern colored friends knew of our political situation, then perhaps they would be more ready to consider and help those who would maintain their rights.

VAN VECHTEN OLCOTT WHO IS SEEKING RE-ELECTION TO CONGRESS FROM THE 15TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT Negro Gives Him Great Ovation Gov. Hughes Also Warmly Greeted. Although Judge Taft has been granted by large audiences everywhere during the campaign, the ovation accorded him by the Negroes of New York City was a record-breaker. The Negro voters more than thrice overflowed Mother. Zion A. M. E. Church on Eighty-ninth street Wednesday night. From every nook and suburb of New York came hundreds of cheering men displaying their undaunted trust and admiration of the man for whom they are proud to honor as the son of their sainted abolition friend, Alonzo Taft. If Judge Taft was in any doubt as to the attitude of the Negro in this campaign, he received abounding and cheering evidence Wednesday night of the solidity of the black Republican B. MCLANE A HOTEL, PALM BEACH, FLORIDA wing in this State and country He was touched by the warmth of the Negroes' greeting, and they ap- WHO IS SEEKING RE plauced and cheered again and again. Judge Taft spoke freely and frankly on the Negro. He said: "There can be no honest doubt or suspicion as to my attitude toward the Negro, his rights and his future. I have always stood, as did my father, for justice to all men regardless of race, and I have always advocated and I always shall advocate the enforcement of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. I believe in the future of the Negro race." As Taft left the church he was greeted by the overflow meeting outside and was continuously cheered by the great crowds that thronged all the streets, leading to Mother Zion Church, of which Rev. J. H. McMullen is pastor. Gov. Hughes spoke earlier in the evening and received an ovation scarcely less demonstrative, and convincing than Judge Taft. Collector Chas W. Anderson presided, and U. S. Attorney W. H. Lewis, of Boston, made a strong address on the "Negro's Issues in this Campaign." Throughout this State, the last four night has given ample evidence of the fact that there will be no considerable Negro defection from the Republican party. In the big parade last Monday evening in Brooklyn more than 1,000 Negroes participated in the line of march. The H. H. Garnett, the Eighth Assembly Republican and the Flatbush Avenue Republican Clubs were well represented. Sayn New Journey Will Give Tuft $2,000. Editor of The New York Age: Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: I wish to thank you for campaign literature and buttons sent through Mr. Elmendorf. The literature I am placing where it is most needed; the buttons are being distributed among men who will vote for Taft. Unless the revelations (r) of the "World" cause a drift in the other direction, I look for Taft's election over Bryan by such a large majority in the electoral college that the "perenniel" peerless, persistent leader of jumbled ideas and fine-spun chaotic theories will be forever cast into political oblivion. New Jersey will give over 30,000 for "Big Bill." Sincerely yours. FRANCIS J. CARMAND. Red Bank, N. J., Oct. 26. ENDORSE OLCOTT Well Known Public Citizens Urge His Election. We have read, with great interest, the article in THE NEW YORK AGE of October 22, 1908, in connection with the candidacy of Hon. J. Van Vechten Olcott for Congress. We appreciate the good work that he has done as a member of Congress, for our race and we are heartily in favor of his re-election. We strongly urge all men living in the Fifteenth Congressional District to work and vote for him. Rev. Dr. Matthew W. Gilbert, pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church. Rev. Dr. George H.

Collector of Internal Revenue Terrell, Cobb and Tyler in Brooklyn One of the most enthusiastic political meetings ever held by the colored people in Brooklyn was that held last Wednesday night, at which Richard Young, candidate for Congress; Judge Robert H. Terrell, District Attorney Cobb and Ralph W. Tyr, Auditor for the Navy, were the principal speakers. Summer Hall, where the meeting was held, was packed, standing room being at a premium. Judge Terrell had the audience convulsed in laughter and tears, alternately, and then at times it would break out with applause. His recital of the early struggles of the HON. J. VAN VECHTEN OLCOTT ELECTION TO CONGRESS FROM THE 15TH CONGRESS Negro how the Democrats had denied them rights and liberty, brought gear to many eyes, even Congressman Waldo, who sat upon the stage, was moved to tears at the recital. And then, his mimical telling of some droll story made laughter abound. He was followed in turn by Auditor Tyler and Attorney Colb, both of whom defined clearly the issues, and made it plain that the duty of every Negro was to vote for Taft and Hughes. Mr. Tyler showed from the standpoint of labor the Negro must vote the Republican ticket. Mr. Colb made a most convincing and eloquent argument for the Republican cause. At every mention of the name of Taft or Hughes the great assemblage went wild. Notice of Springfield SHEENFIELD, MASS., Oct. 27. On Thursday evening of this week Bishop J. W.

Prioleau, a Negro from South Carolina, who contested a seat in Congress. In an open letter Mr. Prioleau urged the Negro voters of New York City to support Mr. Olcott for Congress. He told of the great services Congressman Olcott had rendered him during his contest for a seat in Congress. He characterized Congressman Olcott as a genius, a patriotic and loyal Republican, and a representative of all citizens of the State and district, regardless of race or color. The Record Function Case. In. March, 1908, Mr. Richard H. Black, a Negro residing at 331 West Sixty-one Street, applied to Congress to pledge a pension to Mr. Olcott, increased from $12 per month, on March 25th, 1908, Mr. Olcott introduced a bill in the House of Representatives (No. 19,897) to increase Mr. Black's pension to $50 per month. Immediately after the introduction of the bill, Mr. Olcott took the matter up with the Committee on Pensions, and on May 7th secured a favorable report on the bill by such committee. He called the matter up before the House on the next-pension day, April 24th, and the bill passed. On April 25th the bill was referred to the Senate Committee, and on May 9th the Senate Committee made a favorable report on the bill, which was then presented to the Senate and President. On May 11th the bill was signed by the Speaker and immediately sent to the President for signature, and on May 16th the bill became a law-granting an increase of pensions at the rate of $24 per month, which was the highest rate that could be allowed. Among the many letters received by Congressman Olcott during the present campaign in the support of his candidacy are those from the Hon. W. T Vernon, Principal W. B. Evans of Washington, D.C. and Principal William L. Bulkley.

Mr. Cooper and also to evidence their esteem for him as a wide-eyed, aggressive, race man who is identified with every movement in the interest of the race. During the brief pastorate of the Rev. Mr. Cooper his success has been phenomenal both numerically and financially. He has been given over $1,000 and added to the membership 500 persons.

Mr. Cooper is a typical Southern gentleman. Associated with him in his church work is a most interesting life is devoted to making his work a success and a blessing wherever he may be found.

"As a notion 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 debursement would be our importance. The Republican party, therefore, will offer every encouragement to the thrift, industry and intelligence that will better their prospect of higher attribution." —James S. Sherman in Speech of Acceptance. BRYAN ON DISFRANCHISEMENT. "The white man in the South has disfranchised the Negro in self-protection; and there is not a Republican in the North who would not have done the same thing under the same circumstances. The white men of the South are determined that the Negro will and shall be disfranchised every where it is necessary to prevent the recurrence of the horrors of carpet-bag rule."—Cooper Union, March, 1908. Lincoln in Cooper Union: "This nation cannot permanently endure half-save and half-free." Frederick Douglass: "The Republican party is the ship for the Negro, all else the sea." ANARCHY IN THE SOUTH The heinous lynch-murder in Tennessee of Captain Rankin, a prominent lawyer, by night-riders, has focussed the attention of the country upon the growing outlawry of the Southland. Human life and property are being destroyed with all the wanton abandon of reconstruction days. The proposed conference of the Governors of the six Southern States now the storm center of the spreading lawlessness, is only the first such step that must be taken for the suppression of this spreading and disgraceful condition. THE AGE, on October 14, said: "There must be a vigorous and concerted movement at reform. stating calls for heroic treatment. The constituted authorities from Governor down should get together on this section-wide impending danger. All good citizens, black and white, should co-operate in suppressing crime. A vigorous campaign of education in respect for law and order should be waged among all classes and in all places. "If the Christian people of the South can suppress this threatened return to the violence and poverty of reconstitution days, they must act, act and act now. They must act to the fair and act of America to the defencesless Negro race and the future industry of the South." Terrible and barbarous as are present conditions, we believe that from this present affliction will issue a chastened rein of peace and protection for all citizens, black and white. NO SOCIALISM FOR NEGRO. The widespread pamphlet appeal to the Negro by Eugene V. Debs on "The Color Question" is as specious in argument as it is anarchistic in sentiment. The Negro is infinitely better off today than he was in 1860. The Negro believes in the American Government as at present organized, because he believes in the ultimate sense of justice of the good American people; because he believes in his own ability to rise to an equal place in this republic. He believes that his problem is in process of solution. With the forces of mob law and class strife—whether they be in the Democracy, the Independence League, Socialism or Anarchism, the Negro cannot now take a part. Under a strong and stable government of law and not of men, the Negro will plod patiently onward and upward. NEGRO BROKER IN WALL STREET We are carrying in another column, the startled comment of the New York daily press over the appearance on the Wall Street cath of the Negro broker, Robert W. Taylor, long and pleasantly known to us. One great daily under heavy headlines declares this is the second such Negro phenomenon, the other being a Mr Hamilton, way back in the early seventies. Until Negro brokers are no longer looked upon as curious the Negro's equal capacity for business 'will not be recognized in America.' Then, and not until then, will it be realized that the Negro is like other men. --- It is impossible for any party to reconcile the people to the acceptance of one kind of treatment in one section and an opposite kind in another. The Negroes in Indiana and New York cannot stand for a Democracy that puts him on the back in the North and stabs him in the back in Georgia, Mississippi and South Carolina.

Prosperity again works and five hundred million dollars worth of property or hard times of the next administration and your love of race cry thus aloud. Prosperity of yourself and your children: Worst publican ticket. In this last issue of the campaign, Mr. Negro Voter, we address your intelligence and your love of race. By your aid, active or inactive, either the Republican or the Democratic party for at least four years will come in power over you, your rights and your position in this country. Lay aside all sentiment, obviously nonsense, on a moment's reflection. We ask you to remember that if by your vote or failure to vote, you place in power your admitted "avowed enemy," the Democratic party, you not only give it power over you for the next four years, but you give your "avowed enemy" power to keep in power over you. Considering this calmly, we ask you to consider the two great issues of this campaign, overshadowing all others so far as you are concerned—DISFRanchiseMENT and PROSPERITY. Because only of your race, baldly and holly, the South, nine-tenths of the Democratic party, has taken from you that great American right and weapon, the ballot. West Virginia Democrats will vote to take away your ballot on November 3d. Chairman of the National Democratic Speakers Bureau, John H. Atwood, of Kansas, urges disfranchisement for Kansas Negroes. Bryan, leader and candidate of the Democratic party, justifies and approves of your disfranchisement. In Cooper Union, where Lincoln uttered his eternal truth, "This nation cannot endure half slave and half free," Bryan said. "The South has disfranchised the Negro in self-protection." If the border States go Democratic, under the Bryan administration, all their Negroes as in West Virginia may be disfranchised to insure Democratic victory in 1912. The Democratic party is committed to Negro disfranchisement, your political slavery. The Republican party is committed to your political equality. The Republican party enfranchised you. The Republican party in national convention and through its leader and candidate has promised to "enforce in SPIRIT and LETTER the amendments," which enfranchise you. Of necessity the first and great issue of this campaign for you is YOUR BALLOT. The second great question overshadowing all others as far as you are concerned is PROSPERITY. Capital has no confidence in Bryan. The present "hard times" will not become better in the event of the agitator, Bryan's election. Under Republican rule your progress has outstripped the general progress and your increase in numbers. In the event of the election of Taft, Judicial, same and strong, confident capital will again reinvest. Prosperity again will reign. Three million Negro laborers and five hundred million dollars worth of taxable property bind you to the prosperity or hard times of the next administration. Your intelligence and your love of race cry thus ahead for the political equality and the prosperity of yourself and your children: Work and pray for the success of the Republican ticket.

Judge Taft that the political and social standing of the A.A. strives during the next administration swee race and liberty loving Negro the outing for our only hope in this crisis. William No other Presidential candidate than Judge Taft outside of the Civil War Veteran Republicans could have saved us from despair over the immediate future of Negro rights. For in this hour of increasing disfranchisement, "Jim Crowism" and mob oppression no candidate, the believe, is so anxious and able to better our conditions and to right our wrangs as Judge Taft. No man, we believe, is more sincere in his declaration of equal justice for all men. No other Presidential candidate, Republican or Democrat, before Judge Taft has promised explicitly to enforce the spirit of the amendments to the Constitution, which were passed by the Republican party to protect the Negro in his freedom and his franchise. The son of our sainted abolition friend and the friend of U. S. Grant, it is but natural that Judge Taft's "blood should boil at the mob outrages upon us" It is only natural that he should declare war upon our political slavery, as did his father upon our fathers' physical slavery. As Governor of the Philippines, Judge Taft found an increasing race prejudice among the Americans against the "migrants." Judge Taft largely dissolved this prejudice and won a warm place in the hearts of the Filipinos by standing firm for law and equal opportunity for all; by making all freely welcome and equal at his palace. There he appointed an American Negro leader of the Filipino Constabulary Band, which took first prize at the St. Louis Exposition. For many years in this country Judge Taft has been actively interested in Negro education, being at the present time trustee of the one million dollar Jeannes fund. As Secretary of War also, Judge Taft has stood straight, appointing Negro bandmasters for Negro regiments and holding up for forty-eight hours an executive order of dismissal. Born the Negro's friend, Judge Taft has lived the Negro's friend. Great and unprejudiced American that he is, he has been the great and good friend of the colored race in this world and the old world. Judge Taft's election being assured, we predict that the political and social standing of the American Negro will be advanced many strides during the next administration. We urge upon every race and liberty loving Negro the duty, which is his of working and voting for our only hope in this crisis. William H.

In dropping the government ownership of railroads issue, at the loft of the South, because the South was aroused for the future of the "Jim Crow" law, Bryan gave his consent to the future of "Jim Crow" cars. In all of his meetings in the South where Negroes have been excluded, Bryan has tacitly agreed to the South's prescription of the Negro. Bryan stands with the South, as he recently said, and as he wrote in the Commoner, justifying the discharge of the Negro soldiers at Brownville. Bewailing the political slavery of eight million Filipinos, he does not say a word as to the political independence of eight millions of his fellow cannerymen enslaved by his own party. As Bryan is a menace to the prosperity of this country he is a coward and a demagogue on Negro rights. The Negro who votes for Bryan for President, votes to retard the progress of his own race. He votes to put the Negro hating South in the White House. He approves thereby of his own disfranchisement, of "Jim Crow" and race prescription. An enemy to his race, the Negro who votes for Bryan is either such a fool or a knave as to be unworthy of the ballot. The Negro who does not vote against Bryan shows his indifference to his own progress and political rights and to his children's future. The issue is plain. Despite the lying statements in two Democratic Negro papers, Taft stands squarely "for justice to all men." Bryant stands four-square with the South against justice to the Negro.

Unless we exercise wisdom in making our choice, how can we answer happily for our stewardship? THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1908. : HUGGIES AND GOOD GOVERNMENT. We call upon every Negro voter in New York State, who loves a government of law and not of corruption, a government of principle and not of pull; to vote for the re-election of Governor Hughes. As Democratic machine government spells disaster and destruction for the Negro citizen in the South, Democratic machine government spells corruption and demoralization for the entire people in this State. Let us warn you against the argument of the gamblers. Race track gambling has meant added ruin and poverty for the race in this State and country. In this hour of bad government, with its mob oppression in the Southland, it is the race-duty of every Negro in New York to vote for Governor Hughes and good government. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS. Judging from the ill-natured creaks in its machinery, the oil used by Editor Young at Louisville is not "Standard." Discredited politicians invariably seek a change of administration. They want to deal with somebody they think is not "onto them." The labor vote, white and black, is very properly, for the candidate who offers the best opportunity for real work and at living wages. The solid business men of the country are for Taft. With whom will you take sides—the captains of commerce or the wild-eyed doctrinaire? Senator Beyeridge, one of the best-posted men in Congress, says there will be jobs for all if Taft is elected. You can take his word for it. "Shall the people rule." Not if the Democracy can prevent it. (Cee Constitutions of Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, the Carolinas, Louisiana, etc.) Judge Tait denounces lynching in the most positive terms. Mr. Bryan is silent on this crying evil—an industry of which, by the way, the Democratic party has a monopoly. Compare, if you please, the high character of the Negro journals that are supporting Taft and the little, yelping, venomous and jealous faces that are snapping at his heels. The Liberian Republic—our brothers across the sea—will haveample protection if Judge Tait become President. It will receive scourge if the Tillmanites rule the nation. Republican ascendancy in the nation spells "opportunity" for the black man of ambition and aspiration. Democratic rule signifies suppression and stagnation. The wise Negro will remain on the side and take no dangerous risks. Messrs. J. E. Bush, Lawyer Scipio A. Jones, A. W. Calhoun, William Alexander, Dr. E. C. Morris and other stalwarts will see to it that Arkansas gives a good account of itself next Tuesday. Gov. Hughes stands for law and order. The Negro's well-being is dependent upon an impartial and honest enforcement of the law and preservation of order. We should stand as a unit for Gov. Hughes. He believes in the higher education of the Negro, as well as the industrial, the moral and the business training. He insists that no opportunity open to the white boy shall be closed against the black boy. Can anyone ask more than that? As noise makes the "near-Democrats" of color have acquitted themselves with distinction. As vore-getters however, they will find themselves "drefully shy." Their "peerless leader" could testify from painful experience that it isn't the campaigners that make the most noise that bag the most votes. "And what do you think of Outlahan?" As director of the literary bureau of the National Archives, he has treated the colored press of the country with the utmost consideration and has shown himself to have been theittest man that could have been chosen for this delicate and exacting task. The Negro Republicans are making a desperate effort to assert some of their old-time strength. The only barrier in their way is the assimilation and meanness of the Democratic party—the "friends" that Editor George C. Clement is anxious to place in control of the federal government. Judge Taft has had ample experience as an administrator of large enterprises, and has succeeded in carrying them all to a satisfactory issue. Mr. Bryan is an entitled quantity, and all of his proposed schemes have been exposed as fallacies. As a sensible director of the government corporation, entrusted to our guidance, which should we employ as our manager? Lionelman Frank W. Check, who served in the Philippines under Governor General Taft, has given first hand experience touching his attitude toward jobs, and the testimony is believed to be admirable. Mr. Taft can employ him with an own hand, the dark elements in the United States are well. The days of Washington are waking up for the first time in a century for its mission. Negro public opinion is the best way to defend the health of the whole people. His impassioned mission has been permitted to the element too long but it is never too long to mind. An unimaginable action will save much trouble in the future. Louis S. Sherman, the Republican nominee for vice president, has been member of Congress almost continuously since 1857. In this twenty or more years in national politics, he has shown himself by his vote on all questions involving human rights to be a consistent friend of the Negro people. In his political interests, he has made many strong plans for the advancement of the race, including all laws of moral, political, civic and economic endeavor. The election of Republican judges in D.C. will left the Democratic opponents against the admission of Negro lawyers to the bar in that State. Turn the black state statute out! Let us have it not abused minded and just men in the industrial era. Copable officials of the race, the race of Andrew Tyler, Register Vernon Collectors, Anderson, Rucker, Crum, Smalls, Descanty, Lee, and the many registers of land and offices, recorders of the race of public money, etc., will not last long before Bryan march to the White House next Spring WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY The Democracy has stripped the Afro-American of all his rights in the South by force and trickery.—St. Paul Appeal. It is not what we will lose by putting the Democratic party in power, but what we will maintain by keeping the Republican party in power.—Cambridge Advocate. No one treated seriously at the time the nomination of Hon. William J. Bryan as a candidate for the Presidency. It was then believed that he led a forlorn hope and that he was preordained to defeat—Richmond Planet. It is a strong argument that the country is safe to the Republicans, in that Mr. Taft tjds time to invade the South. Taft is going to be elected and a strong man will be in the White House when he is there.—Columbia (S. C.) Sun. We have at last fished up one utterance of Mr. Bryan in regard to the Afro-American. He says that under the same conditions and surroundings, the Northern people would act just as the South has done—Cleveland Journal. Mr. Bryan has abandoned his chase for the Negro vote. He sees that the jig is in the way. He sees the emancipation of disfranchisement and the Welfare Virginia platform settled the Democracy's fate with the Negro long ago—Richmond Reformer. Mr. Bryan showed a heart full of deep sympathy and brotherly love "for the oppressed Filipino. When asked, however, as to his attitude toward disfranchisement of the Negro in this country, Mr. Bryan said: "The white man of the South disfranchises the Negro in the South are determined that the Negro shall he disfranchised, everywhere it is necessary to prevent the recurrence of the carpet bag rule"—St. Louis Advance. Georgia, a few days ago, went Democratic by a large majority. In this election Georgia adopted an amendment to her constitution disfranchising the Negro voters in that State. We wonder how Dr. Du Buis voted at this election. It will be remembered that Dr. Du Buis declared that he was going to vote the Democratic ticket at the approaching election. If he did, of course he voted to disfranchise the Negroes of the State of Georgia.—Chicago Conservator. For the special benefit of those Negroes who are admiring the Democratic party and want to swallow the Democratic dose of disfranchisement, "Tim Crowism" et al in November we yield our editorial space largely to some sentiments on the Negro race from Mr. Taft and some from prominent Democrats. Why halt ye between these two opinions?—Charleston (S. C.) Southern Reporter. We have carefully reviewed the history of the Republican party during its nearly fifty years of existence as well as thoughtfully and carefully studied its platform adopted at the last National Convention, and we have firmly come to the conclusion that it adequately measures up to the needs of the nation, and almost emphatically accords the Negro the just consideration he desires; more so than any other party. Therefore for these reasons we are with the Republican party—Hampton (Va.) Fishermen's Net < The address of Judge Taft to the Negro miners ought to convince any sensible member of the race that he is a friend. His father, Judge Alphonzo Taft, was so noted for such friendship that he was selected as one of the speakers at the celebration of the adoption of the Constitution by the Negro citizens of Cincinnati, so that it rinses in the Taft family. Now, we may admire how or when Mr. Bryan has shown any friendship for the race? One of two things is certain; either Mr. Bryan cares nothing for the Negro, or he shares not speak his sentiments. He had an excellent opportunity when certain prominent Negroes made overtures to him, but he remained as dumb as an oyster—Lexington (Ky) Standard. Mr. Bryan has referred to the Oklahomaianism is very excellent. And it is evident but that Mr. Bryan continues to write previews and will work on the fact that it is not with "How to Swim" all the way through. It is as a fair biography that Mr. Bryan is truly in favor of "How to Swim" and waiting plenty, and all the kind of Democratic devilry on other land it is a face well-known in Indian land. It works on Oklahomaianism precisely to that the damnable part that Mr. Bryan would favor as "How to Swim" construction in Nebraska, but there is no push Republican party out there for him to count on a result. Construction (W. Va.) may Le many Near, the great State of Georgia was courted with about 10 white supremacists politically, and until we refused to deport the Negro of his immigrant political privilege. But Government Hike Smith became office humiliation and in his role for his holiday, set upon the old privilege until recent months. Negro phobia, which holds him largely into high offices. The governor played his role in the war, and men stepped to consider the fallacy of taking from the Negro that he did not really exercise, but gloried in the happy thought that he was not barred, the amendment to the constitution was adopted and the Negro disfranchised. Never in the history of Georgia has a --- PRESENTATION measure been inaugurated that in so resul- less as this one, so far as a single control of the political affairs of Georgia is concerned.—Southern Christian Recorder. Just what the Negro has to hope for from the election of Bryan and Kern has not been made clear to us, while it might be true that in the States where the American party has held sway, the Democrats, he would be wise to alienate the Negro vote from the Rep- ublican party, has given the Negro des- erved recognition, does not follow that such a scheme would attain permanently should the Democrats gain undisputed control of these States. There was a time when the Democrats of the South accorded the Negro recognition to his support and vote, but as he helped and gained undisputed control they put the Negro out of the business entirely.—Newport News (Va.) Star. In their efforts to make a showing the small percentage of Afro-Americans who are occupying seats on the Bryan band wagon have resorted to the most ridiculous efforts to make it appear that some of the real leaders of their race are with them. An example of the manner in which they are playing the role of organizers of the "Nation of Negro Political League" when they put out, in a list of their prominent members, the name of Bishop J. S. Caldwell, of Philadelphia. The organization is anti-Taft, and has been doing everything possible to make it appear that it has some influence, but when it published, without authority, the name of Bishop Caldwell, he was simply notified and as promptly used of his name in such connection—Philadelphia Christian Recorder. Bryan & Demakorus If Mr. Bryan insists that he is consistent in his advocacy of the rights of the poor, he should explain why he has never said a word for the disfranchised Negroes of the South. In that he stands with his party, the greater part of whose strength at the polls lies in the States where the wronged Negroes live. The managers of his campaign now claim but six Northern States. The Republican party, with Mr. Taft leading, better deserves the support of the thoughtful and earnest independent voters than the Democratic party under the leadership of Mr. Bryan.—New York Independent, October 22, 1908. The Negro and the Public Schools of the South. 10 The Colored People of the South: This is the third time that I have had the privilege of speaking to you in this way upon what I consider the most vital subject, outside of religion, that concerns our race. Action upon it cannot be delayed or omitted without the most serene sequences 18 this and succeeding generations of children in the country districts where from 80 to 85 percent of our people live. In a recent trip through the State of Maryland I was surprised to find, for example, that there were rural communities almost within the sight of the dome of the Capitol of the Nation where the public schools for our race are only open from two to two and one-half months during the year. Taking the Southern States as a whole, it is safe to say that the country schools are not in session at present longer than four or five months out of the twelve. When we add to this condition, in most cases, poor schoolhouse teachers do not have a apparatus and poorly paid teachers, it is simply a condition demanding the immediate and constant attention of parents, ministers, teachers, and leaders of every description. The facilities for public school education in the cities and larger towns are good for the most part, but I know of counties where Negro teachers are paid not more than $15 per month, and the schools themselves. This means practically no school for a teacher worth more cannot live on such a wage. In order to impress our people with 'the truth of how far we are behind and with what remains to be done, let me make a comparison: Two years ago each child in the State of Massachusetts had spent upon him as per school population, in the free public schools $2.64, while taking the South as a whole for the same year each Negro child had spent upon him as per school population from 50 cents to $1.50 in the different Southern States. At such rate does any one believe that we can educate our children? Ignorance will grow denser, and crime, lawlessness and inefficacy will increase. Something must be done and that speedily. What is the remedy? Let parents and lovers get into close and sympathetic touch with the local and county and State officials and make good cooperation and the needs of the children. If one effort does not succeed, make another and another. You, yourself, must make your wants known; no one can or will it for you. We must in a firm, conservative and yet polite manner insist upon our proper share of the public school funds. Parents must bear in mind that if they get all the public school fund that is justly due their children, this alone will not provide for the education of their children. Even the white children in the South are not receiving enough money to properly educate them from the public. In some way each community must organize efforts to pay good and keep paying well for each community. In some ways each community must learn how to right themselves with light, by qualified teachers. I speak to parents now on this subject that they may begin organizing that they must take on this fall when one people have it. Now the team must do not delay on the day they begin the season of the year when one people are handling children each week as a result of the sale of their equipment. This also the organization of year when they are tempted to the way away then end of dollars in unwise directions. I urge you to use some of the money this fall that you would throw away in providing for the proper education of your children. We must as a race learn to make money. It is better that we with all proper children wear a uniform, blood and sweat at school, rather than repeat the education of our children. Let each person teacher or minister, who reads these words, begin at once and stir the people to action in his immaculate county. BOOKER T WASHINGTON Tuskegee Institute, Ala. Oct. 1, 1989 CAMPAIGN NOTES Vote for no Democrat for Congress. Remember Helfin, Hardwick and their sort. Beware of the Democratic Greek, even when he has Wattersonian grape in his hands. The grapes conceal in them serpents of the chaingang, the peonage, the "Jim Crow" car, and the disfranchisement sort, and other abominable discriminations which make Negro citizens sick. The Democrats of Mississippi took the trouble to swing up two black men at Tula Station, with the special purpose of giving Dr. Washington and his party an object lesson in the Vardamanian and Tillmanic type of government. It was striking, if not original, and nothing of the kind could happen in any Republican State. "Remember Brownsville!" shrieked Congressman Waldo, a Tammany Tiger, as he swished through the San Juan Hill district of New York last week. Was not that a queer shriek from a Tammany Tiger? The whole South is made up of the Brownsville kind of political marplot. "Wherever a Federal uniform appears in a Southern Brownsville the Democratic inhabitants of it make ready to shoot holes in it. They were born that way. The good people in the States outside the Southern group know this and vote accordingly. Yes; remember Brownsville, and vote to keep Captain Waldo in the bosom of the Tammany Tiger. He is needed in New York, where he can do no harm. J. Max Barber has got tangled up with the Alhambra Press and the Republican party in such a way as to make the Niagara frenzists pronounce him a traitor. What signifies Alhambra? The Democrats claim the solid South as safe for Bryan. Think of that! And yet Maryland, Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri are in the doubtful column, with much chance of going Republican, Even Bryan's Nebraska home county, it is said, will vote against him. All of the Northern and Western States are counted in the Republican column. Mr. Bryan has found "the crown of thorns and cross of gold" characterization a profession which has thwarted all of his aspirations to bolt into the front door of the White House. Satan always gets it hot and heavy when he laves his demagogic appeals in Scriptural garments. Ask a West Virginia Negro to vote the Democratic ticket and he will think you are crazy. Ask a Negro anywhere to vote for Bryan and he will think the same. The West Virginia Democratic platform and Bryan's Cooper Union speech both stand for disfranchisement and "Jim Crow" car laws: --- Congressman Herbert Parsons of the Thirteenth (New York) District made many friends at an informal luncheon at 132 West 32d street, Thursday evening of last week by the hearty manner, he entered into the spirit of the occasion and the frankness with which he stated the general antagonistic attitude of Democratic Congressman, as he had found it at Washington, toward the Negro and his rights under the Constitution. The Republicans of New York are fortunate in having three such people to represent them in the House of Representatives as Mr. Parsons, Mr. Olcott and Mr. Bennett. And this is the last call to line up for the Republican party of equal rights and opportunity, as against the Democratic party of constitutional mutilation and all of the administrative heresies which have vexed the nation from the foundation of the government.

Moore Speak ROCHESTER, Oct. 26.—Last Wednesday, October 21, was another red letter. day in the Negro Republican camp here. Ex-Goverror P. B. S. Pinchback and Fred. R. Moore, editor of THE New York Ack, addressed one of the largest Negro Republican mass meetings ever held in this city. Before the meeting the Taft and Hughes Republican Club paraded through some of the principal streets. The marchers were enthusiastically applauded along the line of march At Odd Fellows Hall, H. A. Spencer called the meeting to order and presented Rev. J. W. Brown as chairman. Mr. Brown made an eloquent speech in accepting the honor and asked every Negro to do his duty by standing true to the Republican party. J. W. Thompson offered these names as vice-president. W. B. Keys, Alfred Sprague, J. Frank Marshall, Charles Pondexter, Solomon Young, Charles Gauk, Robert Lovely, A. L. Johnson, Oliver Adams and H. A. Spencer. Macks Liffins offered the following who were chosen secretaries: R. L. Kent, E. L. Wilson, R. W. Reeler, T. F. Portland, Charles Davenport, William H. Stockton, John G. Lee, Lawson Johnson, Samuel Ball, James Eturrius and Leon J. Du Bois. In presenting Mr. Moore to the large audience, Chairman Brown compliments the New York Aux on the performance that had made for the Republican party. "While the light holds out to burn," said the speaker, "the vilest sinner may return." Mr. Moore said he was surprised that any Negro-American should be thinking of affiliating himself with a party of retrogression. He have traveled through the South, said Garner, "and have ridden in the Jim Crow cars prepared for you and me by the Democrats." Mr. Moore said a Negro, advocate of Democracy was a traitor to his race, and that Bryan wouldn't appoint a Negro to a higher place than that of cuspidor cleaner. He was glad to see that his audience recognized in Taft the next President, and he criticised "empty-headed" Negro ministers who were trying to defeat him. Excellent. Pinchback made a strong appeal for the Republican State and National ticket. His address was punctated by an aplause. "Taft is one of the biggest and best men in the country," said Mr. Pinchback. "I knew his father, Alonzo Taft, who was as true to us as the needle to the pole. William Howard Taft was born right, he was bred right and he has lived right. "Who gave you the right to vote? Who made it possible for you to come here and discuss these questions? The Republican party." There were many women in the audience and they joined heartily in the applause and seemed to appreciate the importance of the election. Mrs. W. H. Stockton, after a pleasant visit to Mrs. Louise Russell in New York City, also visited friends at Hudson's X. Mrs. R. J. Jeffrey, who has been visiting friends in Buffalo, New York and Boston, returned last Saturday. The funeral of Major F. S. Cunningham took place from Zion Church last Saturday at 3:30. A large number of friends were present to pay their last tribute of respect to his memory. He was buried with all the honors of Marshall Post, G. A. R., which turned out in a body, as did also the Taft and Hughes Afro-American Club. The deceased was their captain and drilled them up to his late illness. As a token of respect, resolutions offered by H.A. Spencer were unannounced and expressed their sorrow and relief of his demise, and the flowers of flowers was sent to his funeral bearing these words: "Our Captain, Rest." FIVE NEGRO WOMEN ON HIM. An Amon County Capitable in its Formal Feignment by a Female Mobil. ALREMBABLE, N. C., Oct. 24—News has reached this place of a very serious and at the same time rather laughable occurrence which took place near Ansonville, in Anson county, just across the river from here, a day or two ago. Mr. C. M. Palmer, of this place, sent a claim and delivery paper for a cow to the constable of Ansonville township, Mr. Trexler, a few days ago. The cow in the house, a New York by the house of Will Davis, who a year ago mortgaged the cow and afterwards moved to Anson county. The peculiar part of the transaction, was that when Trexler went to the Negro's house to serve the paper, it seemed that he was not unexpected, as Davis had taken the cow off and left at his house five robust Negro women, including his wife, also had two boys about six and eight, whom he left home. Mr. Trexler was the master Davis' wife of the fact that he had a claim and delivery paper for the cow. The five Negro women crowded an officer Trooper and demanded that he read the paper. When he had commenced reading the paper, not expecting any serious trouble from the woman, the all of one record, in the one place and at the same time, spring upon him with all the fury and ferocity of so many Benedict tigers, throwing him to the ground and covering him like the waters cover the sea. One of the women grabbed for his pistol, causing him to use his right hand to keep her from getting the gun, only leaving her left with which to defend himself. They hit mouthfuls out of his arms and legs, pulled his hair and stamped his head, beat him in the back with stones and walked all over him for five or ten minutes, when one of the most ferocious of the women said to lie co-assalants: The women said to lie I bring the bourdon knife out (calling to one of the small boys) and let's put an end to the scoundrel at once." At this exclamation the boy ran into the house, but before he could return with the deadly weapon the women succeeded in getting the official's pistol, and about the same time as in one last life or death effort Trexler managed to free himself from their glutes, and, in his own language: "I did not stay to see what was done when the butcher knife was brought." He ran 60 to the house of a Mr. Dunlap, on whose and Negra fitted, and he remained until medical assistance could be had. After he had somewhat recovered he summoned help and arrested the whole mob, and they were lodged in Anson County Jail to await trial. Later Mr. Trexler delivered the cow to the plaintiff here, Mr. Palmer. BOSTON HOLDS TAFT RALLY. Rev. A. L. Norton. Welcome—Bond Chestnut Nuptial. Boston, Mass., Oct. 28—The last week of the Presidential campaign finds Boston with many large meetings planned to arouse the Hub Republican voters from their over-confidence. Perhaps the largest one and the one of especial interest because of its splendid oratory and its tardiness was the ratification meeting under the auspices of the Hall League at Parker Memorial Hall last night October 24. Those speaking were Hon. William H. Lewis, head of Boston's Naturalization Bureau; Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, Auditor of the Navy; Col. Wm. P. Hallowell, Commander James H. Wolff. Sergeant Wm. H. Carney presided. St. Paul's Church was the scene of a very enjoyable affair last Thursday evening. The occasion was a formal reception of L. Norton and the members and attendees of the parish. A large crowd gathered to join in giving the pastor and his amiable wife a cordial welcome. An excellent program consisting of speaking and singing was prepared for the entertainment. The speakers were Hlon. Clement G. Morgan, who delivered the address of welfome; Rev. Powhattan Bagnall, a former pastor of the church; Rev. Alexander Maguire, of St. Bartholomew; Protestant Episcopal Church; Rev. J. W. Hill, of St. Stephen's Baptist Church, and Rev. A. Z. Norton. The musical part of the program was furnished by Miss Margaret Dorsey, Mr. Cornish and a quartette from the choir. Mr. Wm. McLane was master of ceremonies, and the whole affair was in charge of a committee composed of Mrs. H. C. Cornish president; Mrs. A. Boston, Mrs. C. E. Johnson, Mrs. J. L. Barrington, and Mrs. A. Warton, who was termed a "grand reception." The first oratorial production of the season was given last Friday night at Columbia Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church by the Society for the Study of Opera and Oratorio Music, when Rossini's "Stabat Mater" was rendered. Mrs. Floyd G. Snelson left last Friday for Hamilton, Ohio, to join her husband and children. Rev. Snelson has accepted the pastorate of the Paine A. M. E. Church at that place, and will locate his family in the West. Mrs. Snelson is editor of the North Easterner, the organ of the Northeastern federation of Women's Clubs. Several farewell funnels, too, have been given by Rev. R. C. Ransom, erected by a large audience at Charles Street Church last Thursday night when he lectured on "The Promised Land." The Masqueraders held their first meeting of the season at the home of Miss Bessie Trotter, on last Saturday night. Miss Trotter was assisted in entertaining by Miss Bertha Bauman, Halloween pranks were the features of the evening, which were enjoyed hugely by the Misses Stubbs and the Misses Jolly theatre party, made up of the Misses Nakka Lee, Katherine Brown and Constance Ridley, witnessed the performance at the Colonial Theatre last Saturday afternoon. Hon. Wm. H. Lewis addressed the Cambridge Men's Forum last Sunday afternoon on the "Rights of Citizenship as Guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States." The Misses Allston of Chelsea, entertained Mrs. Goo, W. Forbes and Miss Eva Lewis last Tuesday evening. The Booklovers spent an exceedingly pleasant Saturday night at Mrs. Jos. Lee's home, on Columbia avenue. Bridge whist was the indulgence of the evening. Earl Washington, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Washington, has fully recovered from a recent illness. The Bond-Cheenut nuptials, October 27, is one of the principal social events of the coming week. The ceremony will be colonized at the home of the bride, Mrs. Wm. Leo, J.F. Tinkle Park, Misses Wm. Leo, J.F. Tinkle Congee, Eloe Willia, Ulysses Hawley and Lewis Caution will be the ushers. On Wednesday evening, October 28, occurred the wedding of Miss Coralie Bosfield and Mrs. Freed, Yancy. The couple will reside in West Medford, where a beautifully-furnished home is already prepared. Announcement of the marriage of one of the most popular society girls of Hartford, Coun. Have been received in Boston, Miss Estelle Blanch, the charming daughter of Mr. Walter H. Mitchell, was married to Mr. Cassell Hicks at her home, 32 Benton street, on Wednesday evening, October 21. To her host of friends abroad the marriage was a complete surprise, as her married-in-law had been clearly conceived. Mr. and Mrs. Hicks are in Boston, the city where he basked in the symphony tour, which will be the principal cities in the East. To at home in Hartford after December 1, Bishop Lawrence confirmed a class of girls at St. Peter's E. Church last Sunday afternoon. The candidates are members of St. Bartholomew's, the newly organized church in Cambridge, Rev. Mey McGuire is rector. Mr. I. Milton Arnuckle's reading from "Her Boy" delighted a three audience at the Revere Street M. E. Church, Wednesday evening, October 21. THE NEW YORK AGE; THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1908. Sr. Louis, Oct. 26.—South St. Louis is a part of the "Mound City" occupied to a large extent by Germans, most of whom are Republicans. Several evenings ago William McMurray, better known as "Dutch Bill," aroused great enthusiasm at one of the German political meetings by speaking in German. The meeting was held at Concordia Hall, and McMurray was called upon to speak. He spoke for 60 minutes in German on the issues of the campaign, and told his hearers that the Negroes throughout the United States were going to vote for Taft and Sherman. It was his first political speech, but, jo use the vernacular of the stage, he made a hit. He was born and reared in South St. Louis, and is 70 years old. St. Mark's Lycum. The debate at St. Mark's Lyceum last Thursday night between Mr. Edward Lee for the affirmative and Mr. George Scott for the negative, on the subject, "Resolved, That socialism is desirable and inevitable," was interesting as well as instructive. Mr. John D. Jones was the presiding officer for the occasion. The three gentlemen are students of Columbia College. Mr. Lee hails from Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Mr. Scott belongs to the North, while Mr. John Jones comes from Virginia. Each of them is a credit to his respective State and an uplift to the race. We regret that New York carried off the honors. Mr. Lee had the unpopular side. Mr. Scott had the house from start to finish and won. The judges fair. Sunday afternoon Miss I. L. Moorman had charge of the program, and it was good. Especially pathetic was the tenor solo, "O Sweetly Solemn Thought," by Mr. L. B. Martin, of Brooklyn, and good was the recitation of Miss M. F. Smith, of Jersey City. The rendition of the Magnificent by the Choral Union was very effectively done, Miss Robert Lynch and Mr. Watson being in solo parts. The address by G. G. Harris, of THE NEW YORK Avg., was time. On Thursday evening, October 29; there will be a grand union meeting of all the literaries of standing in the city. POLITICAL POTPOURRI When Haskell forced that Oklahoma constitution down the throat of the American people—a document which Bryan pronounced a model one—we just knew something was going to happen to him—at least, we knew something ought to happen to him. It did. "The rest is silence!" Samuel Gömpers is having no better success in "delivering" the labor vote than are Bishop Walters, Corrothers and Waldron in "delivering" the Negro vote. Intelligent people are so prone to think hard, and are creating their own interests that any "leader," who undertakes to "deliver" votes en block will have an up hill job on his hands. The Washington Horizon lets the cat out of the bag, and indicates that the real secret of its opposition to Taft and Roosevelt is that it wants to get rid of Booker T. Washington's leadership. In short, the Niagara gang is trying to strike Dr. Washington a body-blow over the heads of the men who stand for the vigorous policies of the nation and who place sufficient confidence in him to ask his opinion touching matters of vital concern to the race. Now is the time for plain speech and vigorous action. Let us vote as men and not as children. Let us put aside petty grievances and vote for the issues that are personal differences. In the several localities, pass them up until a period when there is less at stake than now. Let us look now only to the greatest good to the greatest number and prove that we are safe custodians of the ballot. Do you want to keep your job? Do you want to finish paying for that piece of property? Do you want our constitutional rights guaranteed? Do you want equal accommodations on the railroads? Do you want improved educational facilities for your children and larger opportunities for yourself? Then go to the polls early next Tuesday and vote for Taft, and Sherman, Charles Evans Hughes and the Republican candidates for Congress and the Legislature. Editor Matt, N. Lewis, of the Newport News (Va.) Star has put on the Republican harness, after hibernating for a season in the park and Editor J. N. Brown of the North Fell Lake Journal and Guide, has discovered that Tait is "all right," after all. All of the prodigals will return for their share of the "fatted calf," in the form of equitable laws and an honest enforcement of the amendments that mean a larger life for our people. Popular indignation is lay when Negroes are lynched but when the vengeance of the mob is gifted upon white men of standing and influence, it does not take governors, sheriffs and the people at large many minutes to sit up and take particular notice. The hand of God is in that Tennessee lynching. One white man dies, but through the vicious hand, hundreds of lives of innocent black men may be spared because of the exhibition the law is making of its strong arm. Judge Taft is an active administrator of the James Tumul. Requeated by a gentleman Quaker lady for the education of Negro children in the rural districts of the South. Time after time Mr Taft has left preaching duties at Washington to come to New York to attend the ceremony of the board of trustees, because of the interest in the welfare of these poor children of the Southland who thirst for the light. These evidences of kindly regard should not be overlooked in the heat of the campaign. The Tennessee man that lynched the thunder of a corporation because he restricted the fishing privileges of some leathers in the neighborhood of the property, is a startling demonstration of the Washington's propley that "in time the will be the greatest sufferer from mob violence.

LADSON are trampled upon in defiance of law, it is only a question of time when the spirit of lawlessness will lead to outrages upon white men." President Roosevelt will rank well up with Washington and Lincoln as a truly great chief executive of this American nation. History will accord to him in the future the meed of praise that partisan prejudice denies him now. When the representatives of the National Baptist Convention recently called upon Mr. Taft to assure him of the cordial support of the Negro voters, he replied: "When I get into the White House—assuming that I am to be put there—no plea in favor of a Negro will have less concession because he is a Negro if he were white. You are Americans as I am. The tarry flag that is mine, is yours." Mr. Bryan, on the same question, said: "Oo ooo ooo ooo!" Bishop J. S. Caldwell, like the true patriot that he is, indignantly resents the illicit use of his name in connection with the self-seeking schemes of the so-called "National Negro-American Political League." He is a loyal Republican and says: "I have been fighting everything in sight this whole summer that opposes Taft and Sherman." If we were not talking with a Bishop, we would be tempted to exclaim, "That's the stuff!" Correspondent Charles Stewart is not a politician and has no sympathy with the dark and devious ways of the political craftsmen. He accompanied the delegates of the National Baptist Convention who called on Judge Taft at the Hotel Sinton at Cincinnati. He describes the procession of three hundred Baptists ministers who marched through the public streets to the hotel, how they went up the elevator to the ninth floor and how graciously they were received by the Republican nominee. This ought to be sufficient refutation of the lie that the unscrupulous writer of the opposition have been sending around the hotel refused elevator service to the delegation and that the party consisted of but fifteen members. A campaign of misrepresentation does not pay, in the final analysis. At the State election in Georgia last week an amendment was adopted to the constitution of the State disfranchising all colored men. Such is Democracy. Colored men of Indiana had better be in their guard lest they are treated likewise, in case of Democratic success, in this State next November. Indiana-polis Recorder. In the past great men have aspired to the Presidency, but no man whose qualifications have been higher than Mr. Taft, and no man who has had that experience which makes him eminently fit for the highest office in the gift of the American people to the same degree as Mr. Taft. Shall the Negro support him? Yes. While he knows that the Republican party has not always done its duty, and wants that he does not owe the party a debt, that he does not owe the party something to the progress and prosperity of his country and he will not forget them in a great crisis like this. The Negro too, will weigh what Mr. Taft is saying respecting the economic policies of the nation for he is quick to see that when business is affected, the Negro will suffer, for labor in that event the Negro suffers, for the cause of labor is the black man's own The tour through the West by Mr. Taft, therefore, has been fruitful, not only with the white business men and thinkers, but with the Negroes as well. The truth of this assertion will be unaltered when the votes are counted on the evening of November 2—Omaha Enterprise 1. DR.

NEW YORK AGE PUBLISHING COMPANY 7 and 8 Chatham Square, New York Music and the Stage ```markdown ``` LESTER A. WALTON THE MUSICAL FESTIVAL So completely have we succumbed to to the musical comedy craze, when announcement is made that a recital, a concert or a musical festival is to be given on a certain date and a certain place, we fail to enjoy the joyous anticipation as is invariably the rule when we note in the papers on the theatrical page such information as: Next week, "Bandanna Laud," or "The Red Moon," But we have not been 'just wild' about musical comedies for such a long, long time, so it is not particularly alarming or significant when we do not enthuse in the superlative degree over the prospects of a musical festival to be given in town. Describe the fact that the Smart Set was in the city last Thursday evening week, the music lovers of Philadelphia turned a cold shoulder to musical comedy and "took their music straight." They accordingly bled themselves into the Large Academy of Music where M.E. Azalia Hachad gave her musical fame and although there were no Ernest Hozan to do comedy or Aida Overton Walkers to dance the "Salome," the hundreds who attended seemed to enjoy the entertainment immensely which goes to show we are rapidly cultivating an appetite for music. It was also made evident that as soon as we general demand for such music we shall have artists who will be able to satisfy our advanced musical craving. Mine, Hackley advertised the entertainment as a musical festival. A more fitting name for the affair would have been a musical debut; for there appeared during the evening a number of young musicians unknown to the East, in fact, some of them had never appeared before a large audience. The amount of responsibility assumed by the management can readily be imagined when musicians were brought from California, participate Nowadays success is mainly measured by financial success. The affair last Thursday was a success in two ways: artistic and financial—the artistic success, however, being the greater. It was reported that a few citizens did not give the entertainment enthusiastic support because Mine, Hackley did not have a Philadelphia on the program. As the people of the "Quaker City" usually show a spirit of broad-mindedness on such matters, it is difficult to co-operate there were many reasons to do so for the above reasons. It matters not from where to produce promising colored beats, be it from the North, East, South or West. If they make good, they reflect a certain amount of credit on all, irrespective of geographical lines. Every one should possess a certain amount of local pride, but it should not make him narrow. Anyhow, the few who did not attend the festival for reasons herefore mentioned, were the only losers. It cannot be said that any of the artists did anything extraordinary, but the festival furnished an opportunity to demonstrate the possibilities of colored musicians of whom we can even now feel proud. To some of the debutants the entertainment should have been an instructive lesson in many ways. In first place, last Thursday's performance can them to form a appreciation of the public taste. An a rule your artists fail to put enough value on the judgment of the public. Tutored to sing or play an instrument in a certain environment, they usually form too high of an estimate of themselves and teachers and deprecate the intelligence of the musician in which these young people live, and quite often they are affected with an enlargement of the cranium that proves a hardship to them until they wake up. It is quite true that the public may not know as much about technique and execution as the teacher or the pupil, but it is after all the final jury that determines for the former a success or a failure. The fuller one of to-day are those who study what the public wants and thereby act accordingly. To underate the public is a costly bit of business, and that is what some of our young musicians are prone to do. This remark has been occasioned by the writer hearing one of the debutants declare after the performance that she cared more for the criticism of others, etc. But we know she will learn, if she has not already, that others are to be taken into consideration if she desires to succeed. Some of the selections were not of the best. Most of the artists sought to give long and heavy selections without favoring the audience with light encores, which always prove a relief. Without doubt, Mr. R. Nathaniel Dott, of Niagara Falls, N. Y., and a graduate of Oberlin College, is an accomplished pianist. He evidently selected his first number to display technique. His third number was "Old Black Joe," which seemed to be the audience's favorite. He is a tenorist at San Francisco. There certainly was a sense of expression in his last piece, Miss Mark E. Barton is a dramatic soprano and a pupil of the Chicago Musical College. She has a pleasing personality and has already acquired stage presence. It was only in her last number, "Toilostro's "Goodbye," did she come up to expectations, singing the number with much sweetness and expression Mr. John W. Johnston hails from Detroit City, and is a director of Detroit City, and is a vocalist with valuable vocal skills. It is said that Mr. Johnston is considered one of the best cornet players of his race, and from his work Thursday evening he has the privilege of enjoying such a distinction. Miss Lulu Vere Childs, contralto, and directress of vocal music of Howard University, gave one the impression that she knew more about what she was doing than the other singers. She made it apparent to all that she was a singer of accomplishment, yet her high notes were not sounded as they should have been in some instances of contrast in her voice that proves a voice discrimination. After Mr. Richard B. Harrison, dramatic reader from Chicago, and connected with the Great Western Lyceum Bureau and the Bohmer Bureau, had appeared in several selections, many Philadelphiaans began to compare his work with that of native dramatic readers. Mr. Burton knows he has a personality and uses it to good advantage. His two selections, "The Mantle of encephalitis" and "Little Bohmer With Sparkling Eyes"—were listened to by all with attention. He showed versatility by using the two selections the latter being the only lighthouse-producer of the evening. In the opinion of the writer, Miss Nellie Moore, of Brooklyn, N. Y., proved the most acceptable deputate on the program: is a pianist who knows both the piano and the cello, playing, and seems to get as much music by using the palms as she does with her fingers on the keys. The piano seemed to respond to her touch in a manner that made one believe she had some mesmeric influence over it. She was also fortunate in her selections. One of the most promising musicians on the program is Kirkins, Oakland, Cal. judged from the way she fundled her instrument she has studied under some of the best teachers in the West. However, there is one thing that she lacks that no teacher can give, and that is possessing the appearance on the stage that she is greatly pleased with her work. She appeared a trifle cold throughout the entire time she was in the studio, but she should have been welcomed. Personality on the stage is a great asset, and aids many who are mediocre to become great favorites with the public. With a winning personality and the knowledge Miss Moore has about the violin she should make herself a strong favorite anywhere. By the stage presence of Mr. Charley, Col. one would judge that he had not appeared in public to any extent. But with the sweet, sympathetic voice he possesses he should some day, after hard study, rank as one of the leading baritones of the race.

RAYS FROM BLEEDING MOOF Cole and Johnson Close Success case Engagement. PHORIA, Oct. 27----Cole and Johnson closed one of the most successful engagements in the history of the Great Northern Theatre. At every performance seats were at a premium, and the ticket brokers reaped a harvest. That the "Red Moon" could have stood a run of six or eigh, week in Chicago is the talk on all sides. "Tis the common comment that the time is not so far off when the American public will gladly receive Bod Cole as a legitimate author and interpreter of the drama. The Cole and Johnson Giants will be an important factor in the theatrical baseball circles the coming season. Our genial manager and prince of good fellows, Philip Robson, has been converted and received the right hand of fellowship in the "Great Order of Full-Fledged Fans." Birthdays and birthday parties are now the craze in the "Red Moon" Company. Should they come offender old Santa Claus will lose some of his prestige. Now is the melancholy days. The gloumiest of the year: Just a little too warm for hot scotch And a little too cool for beer. November 1. St. Louis, and the home of Stace Manager Chase A. Hunter. Whoooh! Ask Lester Walton. Andrew Tribble was in Chicago with the seasons' success, "Red Moon," and herein lies a tale, "R." and "H. A." (banquets and headaches). Abbie Mitchell is still winning applause. Of course that is to be expected by all who were ever so fortunate as to hear her sing. She is a singer who sings. J. Rosamond Johnson is a revelation as a light comedian. He has at last hit the golden medium. All of the "Red Moon" Company send love to the W. & W. show. C. A. H. NOTES FROM BLACK PATTI SHOW. Homer Tutt Robbed in Fayetteville—That Female Quartet. Charleston, S. C., and Savannah, Ga., were the scenes of rousing reception which were accorded "Black Patti" and her company, and nothing was left undone to make it an enjoyable stay for all the members. Records were broken, despite the fact that the Smart Set Company preceded us. Our show will comprise two acts in a few weeks instead of olio and operatic kaleidoscope, which will be written around the star, and the change should add greatly to the merits of the company. At Brunswick, Ga., the company's private car remained for several hours by the ocean front in the most pleasant spot, and desirable weather awaited the half-hour call to the opera house, where the seats are already sold, and comments along our route seemed to have gone ahead of us, placing this company in its usual business stride. Master Clifford Cunningworth is visiting the Smart Set, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Dudley. We extend our sympathy to our brother and sister professionals who are bardened with overcooks and winter wraps. As for us, our territory make them an almost unknown article. Chas. Boniay reads with great interest it is concerning the "Foundry," as he calls it, and weeks of praise of Joe Moore and his place of business is a chronic disease of his own. While in Charleston Messrs. Bougie, Hall and Bryel were royally entertained by "KbI" Miller, whose home is there. I am pleased to inform his many friends in New York City that he is looking good and well, contrary to the general belief. While in Fayetteville, N. C. How Tutt donated a fine coat and contents there, containing lodge books, papers and an expensive gold watch and chain, to an unknown party who called during his absence from his dreaming room. He could have donated all he had had his guest deemed it. I am very sorry that I cannot send regards, etc., to members of other shows through the columns of Tue Aug. Postals and letters are for that purpose. Preparations are being made to entertain some of the members in Tampa, Fla. Relatives and friends of Walter Hilliard and James Reed, of the W. & W. show, were asking about them in Waycross, Ga. The female quartette, under the tutorship of Miss Ruby Taylor, comprising Misses Daisy Brown, Marie Tutt, Ada Alexander and Irène Baines, has progressed to the extent that a place is being considered by the manager and owner, R. Voeckel, where their accomplishments may be enjoyed by the public. Their classic numbers, as converted, are instantly promoted rare gems. G. H. THE 1930 R NATHANIEL DETT OPERA BILL $200,000 A YEAR. That is What the Kaiser Spenda From Private Purse. BERLIN, Oct 17. Some interesting statistics are published regarding the extent to which the German Emperor personally subsists the Royal Opera House and the Royal Titre in Berlin. Of a total of $625,000 expended on them by the Prussian budget, $112,000 is contributed from the Kaiser's private exchequer. In addition he hears the annual deficit, something like $75,000 sometimes as much as $100,000. Thus the imperial patronage of dramatic and operatic arts represents a tidy sum of over $200,000 per annum. Even this, however, does not exhaust the list of the Kaiser's theatrical expenses, for every time he commands a performance, the seats for which are distributed to his personal guests and friends, he must buy out the entire seating capacity of the theatre, averaging a total of $1,250 for each such affair. The salaries of the Kaiser's operatic and dramatic stars are, of course, small compared with those paid in New York. Not one gets more than $10,000 a year. The general manager of the whole royal theatrical department receives only $4,500 a year in addition to the free use of the official residence. Nevertheless, the bill the Kaiser will have to foot at the end of this year will be the heaviest he has ever paid, for it includes the cost of producing his cherished historical pageant, the Assyrian pantomime "Sordanapalus," which alone cost over $75,000 before the curtain rose on the first performance. Good Bill at Hubers At Tuhrer's this week Joe Moore is giving the patrons the best show since the opening of the New Orleans Minstrels, five weeks ago. It is more even and furnishes more entertainment than any bill presented during the present run. The minstrel first part is unique and full of ginger in the olio are two good acts, and the afterpiece is funny and better staged than many of the others. Then Al Watt's is really busy this week and plays, the part of the Chinaman in the afterpiece. Wonder When Jimple Werles is to get a song? Etta Gee got a singing and dancing in the minstrel first part, Purcell and Thornton in their act and Billy Ward appear in the olio, and the for second place, and Sallie Lee, Mamie Furber and De Van crowd in for third, Amie Smith, Midget Price, Etta Gross, Mamie Furber are for show short dr. performances in the minstrels' life Lee has a new coifure, and by way they have a new opening chorus. Pelting rain, pelting rain. Come and visit me again; Bring with you your bleating muse, And sing away my restless blues. Pelting rain, pelting rain, Come and visit me again; Huddled in my drowning hair, Not a want, a pain, nor care. Pelting rain, pelting rain, Come and visit me again; Let blowing winds with you creep, As I dream, my slumber deep. Pelting rain, pelting rain, Your love with my love entertain; Now think me not a beggar vain, When I ask--Visit me again! GREAT MUSIC POISONOUS.

It is rumored that Al Mayer is no longer booking acts for the United people, the powers that be last week having insured him to skidoo. This is one individual who is reported to have declared time and time again that he would not only take every cent a colored performer had, but would take their eye balls out in addition. Billy McClain must be making a hit in England judging from the recent statement in a London paper, as follows: "Mr. Harry Lauder having been summoned to appear before His Majesty the King on Thursday night, there was a vacancy in the Paragon program which three weeks ago filled by an artist of distinction and popular attractiveness. The directors accordingly selected Mr. Billy McClain and his company, who with "Parson Johnson," achieved a brilliant success."

Last week in Albenton, Pa., the Daily Item said: "Mr. Britton is rightly named the greatest colored eccentric dancer on the stage." The minute they appear on the stage they win favor of the audience, and while Sadie Britton is singing, Joe Britton is doing some great stunts with Amy. And the big Huez, "They" He simply asks you laugh whether you want to or not. They always receive a tremendous round of applause and are well-deserving of it. They are the best colored team that has ever played at this theatre." Notes from Hackenpack H. KENNACK, N. J. Oct. 26.—Quarterly meeting will be held in the A. M. E. Zion Church Sunday. Rev.

Talentacle Baptist Church, Rev. Thomas M. Curry, pastor, Brook avenue and 1638 street, will remove shortly to their new site, 161st street and Klinton avenue. The services have been remarkable for the increased interest manifested. The new site is in a very valuable use which the charismatic couple have acquired. The thirteenth annual fair of St. David's Church, Rev. D. E. G. Clifton, pastor, will take place from November 8 to 13, inclusive. Prompt and intelligent assistance by the neighbors, mostly women, prevented what might have been a destructive fire in the basement of last week. It appears that the children of the house, Mr. D. L. Gurley, being left alone for a short time got hold of some matches and set the bedclothes on fire. The smoke and smell attracted the attention of the neighbors who promptly put it out before much damage was done. Some of our colored men have put the advice given them recently by Booker T. Washington, and other leaders to practical use and have started the coal and wood business, which up to now seemed the special preserves of the Italianas. They are Meursa Anderson, Parry Owen, O. M.

DEAR BEREAVED PARENTS—Permit us to extend to you our deep sympathies for the loss of your son and our companion, and to assure you of our condolences. All of us, having been associated with him for a number of years, feel his death as a personal loss, and he leaves a void in our hearts which cannot be filled. Since, however, it is not for us weak mortals to attempt to fathom the ways of our Heavenly Father we must be resigned. Believe us to be your in sympathy, THE ANTHIA WHEELMEN. James N.

At the Carlton Avenue Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association Sunday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, Mr. Allen Dillard delivered a practical talk to the men present on "Lessons from Everyday Life." The recent renovation of the building with enlarged facilities for entertainment and exercise, is attracting more men to the building during the day. The literary will begin meetings next month.

The Ladies' auxiliary of the society of the Sons of Virginia, Brooklyn, held an enthusiastic meeting on Tuesday evening, at which they received into membership thirteen new members, making a total of twenty-six for the past three meetings. The President, Mrs. Jennie Stewart, who succeeded the late Mrs. Fannie Richards, is an energetic worker, and is carrying the Anxiliary forward by leaps and bounds. A feature of the meeting Tuesday evening was the introduction of Dr. W. T. Dixon an installing officer for the Anxiliary. Dr. Dixon accepted the role and made a most pleasing address after the principal business was completed. Recent members are Madeline, L. A. Catter, M. I. Zena, L. D. Dennis, S. D. Dodson, H. V. Fainty, L. M. Moore, L. S. Smith, E. F. Fritch, C. D. Hicks, R. Patague, L. Jones, H. G. Goss, S. L. Lam, A. Cook, L. Bred, S. Grays, L. Brown, Misses M. A. Shotton, J. Robinson and H. Armstrong.

THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1908 Old Follower's Noten. Since the last session of the B. M. C. held in Atlantic City, N. J., New York Odd Fellows have been keeping very quiet. But things are getting busy again. All delegates have made their reports, and told the good and noble things they did at the B. M. C. The Executive Committee of D. L. G. No. 9, has accepted an invitation from Rose Leaf Lodge, to be present in Poughkeepsie November 24, to dedicate the Odd Fellows' Hall. Too much credit cannot be given to Rose Leaf Lodge of Poughkeepsie in having their own hall. Brothers in Manhattan, and Brooklyn, take notice what one lodge in a small city can do. I trust the order in Greater New York will wake up to the fact that we must have a hall. Two new lodges will soon be set apart in Greater New York—Golden Fleece Association, under the leadership of Supervisor H. S. Pickenpack, and Alvin Star Association at Coney Island, under the leadership of C. S. Lewis, D. G. Secretary. Both clubs have over 100 members. Great work is expected to be done this winter. From all reports the Household throughout the State is doing well, and why should they not be with such officers as Sister Mamie E. James as M. W. G. and Sister B. E. de Luscano, who was recently elected Grand Supervisor of the Household of Ruth of America. Delegates Entertained in Washington Mr. William Henry Smith and Mrs. Marie Frischy, of Mt. Zion Tabernacle No. 115, Order of Moses, during the grand encampment, which convened in D.C. by C. Sullivan, director at the residence of Prof. and Mrs. Gassaway, 1159 17th street, N. W. Washington, D.C. Solomon A. Bond, grand master; E. E. Holland, grand marshal; Mrs. Nettie C. Holland, delegate; Rev. James A. and Miss Tappin, delegates; Claudius Wilson, delegate; Thomas H. Sales, delegate, and Mrs. Cissie McJames, of Mt. Zion Tabernacle. The dinner was pronounced suburb, consisting of four courses such as ash- fall, fennel, rosemary, and sage. Sister Frischy deserve great credit for their hospitality. After dinner the guests were invited to an automobile drive through the national capital. CARD OF THANKS.

To the Editor of Tit New Yorx Ace: The question. of human rights has never ceased to exercise the world of théught since the days in which the suf- ferings and hardships of exiled Isracl touched to pity the tender love of the Father, who removed the iron heel of Egypt by the command ."Let my, people go.” Acquaintance with the affairs and personalities of this remote period is made so real through revelation and is felt to be so thoroughly in touch ‘with our latter day experience as to be ac- cepted as furnishing and completing ‘an unbroken sequence of similarity in the contact of races through succeeding ages. A glance at the rise and progress, development or fall of the peoples of history, discloses the fact that certain cardinal virtues or vices have been the controlling influences— refining and elevating; enervating or destroying. In deference to the exigencies of space, it may be assumed that pride of race and devotion to principle; have been among the strongest levers in the sub- stantial uplift of those races which have absorbed a large share of the admiration of the worid. The pride of the Spartan matron in the courage and integrity of her boy is a sacred aurcote wreathin TRE Brow of her exatted womanhood. The dreary :stretch of Marathon Plain could not discourage nor fect restrain; who, glorious news of victory won, with haste acclaimed cach Grecian son, The ancients. however, may ‘not monopolize the splendid tributes of praise which are as incense, diffuscd by successive gene- rations ‘in honor of ancestral virtues. There are moderns of another race and clime who may proudly claim’ associa tion with the world's immortals ard who wear their patent by reason of conspicu- | ous and invaluable service in behalf of Jruman rhghts. at go Washington and Patrick Henry; Lin- &, and Grant; Charles Sumser and jerick.

The fragrant flower of liberty, crushed and trampled in the early years ‘of the Republic, was not permitted to wholly’ languish. The Divinity which shapes our ends, ever mindful of the greatest good for all the children of men, touched here and there a soul with a realization of its sacred beauty and thése with the courage of the crusaders of old, joined heart and hand for the protection ‘and preservation of _ the Golden Fleece of Liberty. Thus from the loins of human sympathy, at the be- hest of popular governmeht, there was brought forth a new offspring, and this child of destiny, cradled amid the clash ‘of contending opinion and ‘the threat of impending civil strife, was hailed as the great Republican “pafy, the natural guardian of Freedom. ‘The Nation's crown is replete with studded gems made from names of its members—somic black, some white—for the principles of this. party are of a kind with the very essence of Divinity, which comprehends each human atom jin its world-wide plan of beneficence. Men do not gather grapes from thorns nor figs from thistles; nor do they think to dis- cover loyalty in a Benedict Arnold. A weak, despised and struggling race may not look for sympathy and encourage ment from a party in which his detrac- tors are its controlling force, Tillman, Thomas Dixon, Vardaman, Williams | and Hoke Smith, their satellites and ad- | thirers, are unconditionally committed | to the suppression and oppression of | Negro manhood.

BISHOP WALTERS SCORED WATERBURY, CONN., Oct. 16, 1908. To the Editor of Tract Acq. To the Editor of Tash Aaz. Bishop Walters was in New Haven a few days ago speaking in the interests of the Democrat party and advising the Negroes of New Haven to vote for Bryan. Mr. Bryan said through the Associated Press recently that the Bishop was guilty of an absolute falsehood when he tried to lead the Negroes of this country to believe that they had declared himself in favor of the Negro or at least had intimated such. Now how Bishop Walters can continue to root for the Democratic party after the latter has declared that they do not want him, nor his followers, nor their support, is more than any same man can understand. The Bishop has written mad clean through on account of the Bibrowian in order to get square with President Roosevelt he wants to murder the prosperity of the country and cause ninety millions of innocent souls to suffer for four years for what one man has done. He wrongs never made a right, Bishop. It stirs up a man is indied based when he loses the great problems of this country because one thing happened that was wrong. Why is it you cannot see the stand the Republican party takes on the tariff question as compared with that of the other party, that through the protection to our institutions and tanks the Negro is enabled to earn a good day's pay for his labor and live almost in luxury; that the Negro farmer is enabled to demand and get a good price for his product and live independently, and that Negro business man is enabled to compete with his white brother and find ready market for his goods. The Bishin does not tell us that thousands of Negroes are employed by the government of every state and that millions of dollars are paid them in salaries for their work. He does not say that more Negroes hold office under that administratn that ever before, and of a higher character. When we speak of these things, the good Bishop and all the rest of the world, would-be Democrats hold up before us the domestic trouble between the race in some parts of the country, and the brownville affray, as their reason to McBryan and Negroes to vote for McBryan and to make the party that has made this nation the greatest in the world. Through its protest policies, I am told by Secretary Shaw that it pays out as much in wages as all the rest of the world combined. The good bishop is going to take us from this grand old party that contains the hearts and brains of the nation, and where the going to take us? Over to the party that will kill Williams, Vardanans, Helins and Hoke Smith, and every Negro in America that knows that these men are his bitterest enemies, and that it is often their intolerable speeches that give rise to the race troubles of the South. When we read the Senate investigation carefully we find that it was this class that was at the bottom of the trouble at Brownville. It was the class that enslaved us for two hundred years and treated us worse than they dogs and cattle. It was this class that caused our mothers and grandmothers and great grandmothers to pray upon bended knee for over two hundred years for that freedom that only came after those prayers had moved our God on his lips, and raised up a Wendell Phillips, a William Brown, a Carlson, a John Brown, and a Lincoln. The men had within their bodies a republican spirit and a soul, and they went forth all over this land championing the cause of the Negro in bondage. These friends of the good bishop that he wants to elect to rule over the destinies of the nation, and unhurt flesh had fertilized the soil to hold us, and since our freedom have abused us, lynched us, burned us, "Jim Crowed" us, and disfranchised us in all sections of the country where they had power. It is only fair to presume that if they greater power, which the good Bishop is trying to give them, this treatment spread over a greater section of the country to agree with the bishop that President Roosevelt us an injustice, but I fully believe that when he has been convinced of the wrong done, he will make separation. I still have that faith in him and I still remember that he is our President, and know that the Negro has nothing to gain by insulting and abusing the President of this country. We are, but paper men if we are going to jump up and political faith every time some of the leaders of our party do something that don't like. I want to see every Negro in this country stand for their rights, but do it in the right way. Don't swear vengeance against anybody. Don't make threats, but on the other hand, be men. Let us think more, let us read more, let us get a better understanding, let us be citizens from principle. The rank and file of our people do not read, not even their own journals. Indeed, I think it would be well for our ministers to preach to our people the great importance of studying the great problems of this country of which we present, read more of our Congressmen and discuss more intelligently the working of our Congress, get to be more substantial, and be able to form opinions of our own rather than float with the tide. Even in the heat of this campaign, it is hard to get our people out in any numbers to hear our best statement give reasons for their Republican faith, and explain the bills and problems before Congress. On the other hand we find them on the street stores talking at random on the Grovesville array and other matters of little importance. I feel that our ministers give great warm to us our ministers this condition in helping to eradicate this condition and bring our people to a better IN THE INFORMATION OF LINCOLN. Reither T. Washington and Secretary Hilton Root Condon. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 21—Dr. Boocher 1. Washington spent last Week. Many of us like to tell of the most wonderful progress we have made in the past forty-five years, and we should, for history does not record that such rapid strides toward success and achievement was ever made by any other people in the same length of time under the same circumstances. But we should not lose sight of the fact that that forty-five was the most progressive that the world has as known. We have lived in a whirlwind of progress and achievement during that time. Let all this advancement has been made almost entirely under Republican rule. Now, lishap, I did not intend to say a word about your way of advising the voters of our race and would not had you not invaded my State with your courage. But when you go to the trouble to come into this grand old State where you live, by what he look like, where every man has an equal opportunity to exercise all the rights and privileges that God gave him, where the relations between the races are as good as it is possible for them to be, and try as it is wrong then I feel that I must then reclaim the duties of those principles made and laid down in our immortal Lincoln, agitated and persecuted by our Grant, our Garfield, our Harrison and McKinley and that stalwart and fearless American, Theodore Roosevelt. For I am fully aware that this race of mine has been lifted from the state of degradation to the lofty position it has held in this American civilization upon the waves of the grand Republican principles. J. E. Kearno, Secretary Colored Republican Club, Waterbury, Conn. Springfield. SPRINGWILF.

Ellen Root, Secretary of State, during which time a number of matters were taken up touching the commercial, industrial and diplomatic relations of the Liberian Republic with the United States, Germany, France and Germany were fully discussed.

In recognition of the fact that the success of the mission of the envoys was due in the largest measure to Dr. Washington's influence active sympathy, the Liberian Government has to confer upon the Tuskegee educator the order of African Redemption, a decoration that is bestowed with great caution and is much sought after by Europeans.

TO the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE the Ace of dates February 8 and 15 and August 19th, are published letters from Dr. Ace, 1894, referring to Elgin Settlement in California was opened for colored people and occupied by them half an half a century ago. There, through their own half energy and perseverance and under 'leadership of one who had well founded faith in their ability, escaping slaves made homes for themselves and their families and prosper- sion. For many years little has been beard of that settlement; residents who were educated within its bounds having returned to the South or gone forth to other parts of the world, helping to uplift their fellow men. Elgin Settlement, however, happens to hold its own small place in history, being so connected with a number of events of his interest and with individuals whose names are sacred that somewhere must be prepared so that however brief and inadequate, to represent the facts. Where are they now? Where are their children? Not for any selfish purpose whatever, but for sake of the testimony easily in their power to give that would be helpful to hundreds of the rest of their race who are pressing forward in the upward direction, their possession of their rightful inheritance, liberty and independence, it is earnestly requested that anyone who ever lived in Elgin Settlement or the descendants of Elign settlers who may read these lines, will at once communicate with the writer of this letter, Mrs. Anne S. J. Jameson, Colchester, Connecticut. Here are a number of suggestive names once connected with that Canadian document that may possibly catch the eye of those readers.

Washington and the State Department, Secretary Root has instructed Rev. Ernest Lyon, Minister Resident and Consul General of the United States at Monrovia, to make a general investigation of political, economic and social conditions in the Liberian Republic.

Stewart, of Norwalk, O., who has been doing some work here for the Republican committee, has returned to the "Buckeyc" State. Mrs. Eliza McPherson, of Newport News, Va., came up last week to attend the funeral of her niece, Miss Frances Cooper. Mrs. McPherson is a sister of the late Editor E. E. Cooper, of the Colored American. Miss Ollie Cooper returned to Newport News with her aunt for a brief visit. Katie Richardson has returned from a visit to her parents at Bock, Va. Mrs. Mary E.

Terrell and District Attorney James A. Cobb are to expound Republican doctrine in Maryland and West Virginia. Attorney John E. Collins was in Norfolk a few days of last week. He is Exalted Ruler of Columbia Lodge of Elks of this city and had a long conference with the leaders of the Atkins faction while in the Tidewater section of Virginia. Mrs. A. H.

W., and the projector is Miss Eva W. Ross, a graduate of the pharmaceutical department of Howard University, and who has just severed a long and useful career in the public schools to give her entire time to the business. The location is good, the stock and fixtures are up-to-date in every particular, the marble soda fountain being particularly striking. Miss Ross has associated with her a Mr. Mundin, also an expert pharmacist, and from the present outlook the combination seems to be an assured success, friends coming from all parts of the District to show their appreciation of the courage, energy and business acumen of this remarkable young woman. Miss Nance Armistead has returned to her home in Portsmouth, Va. Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Slaughter, of 2226 13th street, N. W. gave a dinner a few days ago in honor of Mr. and Mrs. J. H.

Thomas Heflin for shooting an unarmed colored man who happened to be riding on the same street car with him, last spring, will be called shortly after the opening of Congress in December. To avoid inconveniencing Heflin by making it necessary for him to make two trips to Washington, the District Attorney agreed to postpone action until the Alabama came on to take his seat at the Capital. The outcome of the case is very uncertain, owing to the conflicting testimony that will be offered. Washington has a colored man who changes hue so often that the doctors at the Emergency Hospital, where he is confined by serious illness, have dubbed him "a psychological phenomenon," and "a human chameleon." Luther Johnson is the man's name. Not long ago his heart was sewed up by Dr. Charles S. White, in an effort to save the patient's life, after a wound that threatened to be fatal. Johnson's hands turned almost white at times, and peculiar spots appear on his face as if a vari-colored searchlight had been flashed upon him. He is still in a precarious condition and the doctors are not sure whether he will live or not. His case has set the medical profession by the ears. Recorder John C. Dancy has returned from a successful tour of New York State, having spoken in Elmira, Rochester, Buffalo and Ithaca to large crowds of enthusiastic Republicans, colored and white. He is again on the road, his itinerary calling for speeches in Delaware on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, October 19, 20 and 21; in Martialland, October 22, 23 and 24; in New Jersey, October 26 and 27, and winding up the campaign in Indiana during the week prior to the election. Mr. Dancy says there is no doubt of Judge Taft's election and there is nothing in the story that the Negro voters will neglect to stand by the party on election day. Mr. Dancy is in excellent voice. In the company team matches at the Congress Heights rifle range, the First Separate Battalion, under command of Major Arthur Brooks, made a good showing. The shooting was done at 200 yards, with ten rounds per man. Of the twenty companies of the District National Guard participating, Company A made 15th place; Company B, 17th, and Company D, 18th place. Professor Anderson's Souvenir Reception The largest crowd in the 18 years existence of Prof. J. Milton Anderson's dancing, academy, 114-116. West 53d street, assembled last Saturday evening, October 17, at which time a ladies' souvenir reception was held. It had been advertised that souvenir hand bags would be given to each lady in attendance at the reception, and this was a sufficient signal for New York's younger set to make an outpouring, the like of which has never before been witnessed at this famous diving condominium. As early as eight o'clock the public began to arrive, and by twelve o'clock it was almost an impossibility to gain admission to the academy so large was the crowd. The hand bags were distributed at 12.20 o'clock, and in less than thirty minutes three hundred and fifty souvenirs had been given away. Many of the ladies who succeeded in securing one of the most coveted souvenirs afforded the hookers a magnificent opportunity to wines san original bargain counter rush. One hundred and fifty ladies failed to receive souvenirs owing to the shortage of the supply, but Proof. Anderson issued tickets to the unfortunate ones entailing them to souvenirs, which will be given to-night—Thursday. Without exception it was the most magnificent, brilliant and largest assemblage of dancers ever congregated under the roof of this or any other dancing academy. The New Amsterdam Orchestra was at its best, and maintained it's well-earned reputation of being Greater New York's premier orchestra. The gentlemen were of this academy will have a souvenir, reception on Saturday evening of this week, October 24, at which time Manager 'Anderson will present to each gentleman a handsome silver cigar or cigarette case. Mr. Banks Honored. 'Just before the party which accompanied Dr. Washington dispersed the following statement was prepared and signed by each member of the party and presented to Mr. Banks at Mound Bayou, his home: "Before the completion of our journey through the State of Mississippi we desire to express our appreciation of the kindness and consideration of Mr. Charles Banks, the director and organizer of this expedition, not merely for the excellent arrangements he has made for our comfort and enjoyment during this trip through the State of Mississippi, but we desire also to express our appreciation of the wisdom he has shown in organizing and directing this tour and understand our opportunity to see and understand for ourselves the opportunities that the people of the Negro race are making in the different parts of this State in moral, material and intellectual directions. We all feel greatly helped and inspired by all we have seen and heard during this instructive and delightful tour. "We wish to record in this formal way our sincere appreciation of all that he has done for the comfort and pleasure of all of us." ALBANY VOTERS TURN OUT. To Hear Ringing Address by Collector Charles W. Andersen. ALBANY, Oct. 19.—The Negro Republicans of this city and country proved to a conclusion that they are to be a power in the coming election, by their magnificent turn-out last Thursday, October 15. They held a most enthusiastic parade, which was followed by a mass meeting in which even greater enthusiasm was displayed. The meeting was in the Israel A. M. E. Church, on Hamilton street, the capacity of which was taxed as if never had been before. The speaker of the evening was Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue in the City of New York, and his singing words will ring last in the minds of his hundreds of hearers. He spoke principally on the treatment received by Negroes from the Democrats of the State and nation. The meeting was called to order by Edward D. Thompson, President of the Albany County Colored Republican Club, who introduced the Rev. A. C. Sanders, pastor, to invoke the divine blessing. President Thompson then introduced Henry A. Spencer, who was to preside over the mass meeting. Mr. Spencer was received with great applause, and his brief remarks were listened to with rapt attention. He concluded by introducing the speaker of the evening, Mr. Anderson. Mr. Anderson paid a high tribute to Negro honor and integrity, and dwelt at length upon the colored man's right to a place equal to that of the white man. He pointed out that the men of his race developed and triumphed under the tutelage of the white man, and tried to a marvelous degree; that they had entered all the professions and had their representatives among the mighty men of all branches of learning—science, medicine, art, theology and literature. He declared that Democracy is the common enemy of the Negro race in this country, and pointed out that only in States under Democratic control had the colored man been disfranchised. He said that if the colored man wished to continue his progress in civilization, he must support the Republican party in this nation. The Negro type of the future lay in the success of the G. O. P. He said that down deep in his heart every Negro is a Republican, and if he votes any other ticket it is because he is spiteful and dissatisfied with himself. "All we have we got from the Republican party," he declared with emphasis. "We neyer have received anything from the Democratic party, and the paramount issue of this campaign from the Negro is the publican candidates in city, county, State and nation are re-elected by big majorities." He paid a high tribute to the character and the interest of Candidates Taft and Hughes, and said that Negroes should not be persuaded to vote for Chanler. He said they should vote for Hughes because he is a good man, if for no other reason. At the conclusion of the mass meeting a reception was held in the church parlors. The reception committee consisted of Robert P. Madison, E. D. Thompson and A. J. Oliver, who saw to it that one present had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Peterbarke, Va. Mrs. W. W. Cartwright, of 205 West 78th street, New York, has been spending several weeks here as the guest of her sister, Willis Johnson, having been summoned here by the death of her brother-in-law, Mr. Willis Johnson. She will return to her home this week. She will charlie R. Chiles of Washington, D. C. she has sent her Woman's six weeks here with her father, Mr. Willis Johnson, who departed this life Wednesday, September 23 last, at the Bishop Payne Divinity School. Boston, Oct. 21.—The harmony plan which have been making for the getting together before election of the two widely split factions of Boston Republican Negroes, the Colored Taft League and the Colored Men's Republican League, have been miscarried. Unlike the united front which Republican Negroes in Springfield, and elsewhere in the State and country are showing for the ticket, Boston's Negroes, it seems, have not yet reached the "compromise" stare of political development. The Tatt League, represented by such respected and influential leaders, at United States Attorney William H. Lewis and Dr. S. E. Courtney, in their many efforts for a compromise, have conceded much. But the Colored Republican League, officered and dominated by State employees, at their last meeting with nineteen members present rejected the offer for a joint mass meeting or a banquet before election. The Colored Republican League even refused so much of a compromise as to the national ticket, though it indented the offer to the officers the Colored Republican League Messrs. Charles W. Williams clerk on the juvenile court John Schenck, State auditor's messenger Julius Goddard, Republican Committee messenger, and William L. Reed, Governor's messenger. But one of the political certainties is that Massachusetts is going to give an unprecedented majority to Tatt and Draper. Thereby hangs the danger of the crass ignorance and purbilid folly of the Colored League. The jobs and the future of these State employees are easily defeated but more than this the 30,000 Negroes Boston have been entirely ignored because of their split by the Republican State Committee. No efforts whatever are being made to get their votes. The Republican party, successful in the State and nation; is not paying any particular attention to a few people banded together for the purpose of making a noise. It knows that the masses of the colored voters in Boston, as elsewhere, are solidly supporting the鸦. It knows that the blacks under no obligations to these few and can safely leave them out of consideration in the future. This is the havoc to the political power of the race in Boston, wrought by nineteen little Negroes. GEORGE W. HARRIS. New Haven, Conn. NEW HAVEN, Oct. 20—The annual harvest home festival of Zion A. M. E. Church, Foote street, Rev. C. S. Whitted, president of the church, continued until Friday evening, inclusive. There were various literary and musical programs presented each evening, and several oral audiences. The question of their large new brick edifice seems to have inspired the people of the community with their seal to lead their patronage to the testament, and chine that would irresistibly roll over everything in its way. No matter what Zion gives or how often, she is largely both a financial and emotional friend. The others are as follows: P. H. Davis, president; M. Hattie Peaker, vice-president; P. Phillia Collins, secretary; R. John A. Collins, S. H. Barr, chairman trustee board. TAFT CROWD ROUTS ALLAIN Tin Pane and Stenna Squelch an Apostle of Independent Voting. INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 18 — T. T. Allain, a Negro politician from Louisiana, was brought here yesterday to make a campaign speech to Negroes from the independent standpoint and a meeting was arranged for him at Eleventh and Brooks streets. A large crowd was present, but the orator had hardly begun speaking when his voice was drowned by shouts for Taft. The crowd began to beat on tins pans. For thirty minutes Allain stood, and waited for the din to cease. Then he tried to speak, but the noise began again and he was forced to retire into a house. The crowd threw stones, at the house, breaking the windows and compelling the orator to seek refuge elsewhere. Xates from Madison, X Mr. A. B.

Reliable Agents Wanted Liberal Commission We Give Employment to Members of the Race Hob Leaves Bedside of Negroes Hanging Hour Twice for De. Washington to JACKSON, Misa, October 18—Tat Booker T. Washington might see them from the Illinois Central Railroad him from Helena, Ark, to Memphis, the bodies of James and Frank Davis, Negroes, who were lynched at Lalu, stay here, were left hanging from the limb of a tree directly on the line of the railroad until the train had gone by. This was -done because the trouble which led to the lynching occurred while the Negroes were returning from Henryville to hear Mr. Washington deliver an address to the bodies wished him to see the bodies of the victims. The train did not stop at Lalu, but advices were received here later to the effect that the Negro leader had been informed of the case. Significance is attached to: the incident here because of the fact that in The issue, a Jackson publication, of which a Jackson adman is editor, there appeared only last Friday a lengthy attack on Booker T. Washington, ending with this paragraph: "If Booker T. Washington makes a half dozen more speeches in the State of Mississippi, mark the prediction: It will be the cause of a few insolent Negroes being hung and a source of infinite distress to the housekeeper who is daily confronted with the violent mob. For all of which we will be indebted to a few pale-faced Negrophilists who encourage Dr. Washington in his nefarious work." The two Negroes were causing a disturbance on an Illinois Central train on their way from Helena, when John O. Kendall, the conductor, attempted to quarrel. They shot and killed him. A committee who knew who were passengers was formed immediately, and the Negroes were lynched at the next stop. Yonkern Noten Last Monday evening the A. M. E.
