THE NEW YORK AGE. Vice President Dossen Declares Negroes Will Solve Problem They Would be the Secret for the Solution of Civilizing Native Tribes in the Hinterlands Buvoya Who Were in the United States a Short Time Ago Pay a High Compliment to President Roosevelt and Others. MONROVIA, Nov. 9.—At a reception given a short time ago in honor of the American envoys who returned to Africa, Vice-President J. J. Dossen created considerable applause by declaring that the coming of the best trainedoes from America, 600,000 strong of the population of ten millions, should be the secret for the solution of the civilizing of the native tribes in the hinterlands, and incorporating them into the body politic. Ex-President G. W. Gibson, Vice-President J. J. Dosen and Counsellor Charles B. Dunbar, together with their secretaries, Messrs. T. J. R. Faulkner and C. R. Branch, were the special guests at the reception, which was given at the executive mansion. Hon. F. E. R. Johnson, Secretary of State, welcomed the envoys home on behalf of the Republic of Liberia. He stated among other things, that the Commission was sent upon an important mission at a critical time in the history of Liberia, and that their report, made to the President and cabinet, was a very comprehensive and encouraging document, the contents of which would be known at the proper time, through the President. Secretary Johnson was followed by Mr. S. S. Roberts, acting Mayor of the city, who welcomed the envoys on behalf of the city and common council. He was followed by Postmaster-General S. T. Proun, who made a very timely, brief and felicitous address of welcome, in his own unique style, which was well received by the audience. The government officials, including Dr. Gibson and Vice-President Dosen of the Commission, all expressed their unstinted gratitude to the American Minister, Dr. Ernest Lyon, for his most invaluable services rendered the commission in putting them in immediate touch with the most influential citizens in America, and for the deep and abiding interest he had at all time manifested in the Republic of Liberia. The first of the envoys to speak was Dr. G. W. Gibson, chairman of the commission. The doctor arose with much assurance of his hearty welcome home as evidenced in the applause given him by the audience. He expressed himself as being highly pleased with the wonderful advancement made by American Negro since he left America 35 years ago. He was wonderfully impressed with the educational advantages of the race in America, and the interest manifested by them in their opportunities, and urged on Liberians to adopt certain methods of operation as he had observed abroad. He spoke of the wonderful kindergarten work of the school system as he observed it. The next speaker was Vice-President Dosen. Mr. Dosen arose amid hearty cheers on part of the audience. He spoke with perfect ease, giving a very graphic account of the reception of the commission by both black and white in America. He referred to the commencement exercises of Howard University, Washington, D. C., and Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Alabama, the opportunity they had to meet the leading educators of the land, and speak to the people. The 'speaker paid a glowing tribute to Dr. Booker T. Washington, who met the envoys at New York City and took the most lively interest in their mission from beginning to end. He declared that Mr. Washington managed the greatest educational plant on an industrial line in the world, and as is well known is the most influential Negro in America. Mr. Dossen took high grounds with respect to the emigration of the American Negro to Liberia, and was most heartily cheered when he said that the coming of the best trained Negroes from America, six hundred thousand strong out of the population there of ten millions, would be the secret for the solution of civilizing our native tribes in the hinterlands, and incorporating them into the body politic. Both speakers spoke in the most gratifying terms of their cordial reception by the State Department at Washington, and the uniform courtesies shown them by President Theodore Roosevelt, Secretary Root and Judge Traff. They lavished much praise upon Mr. W. H. Brooks, of St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal Church, New York City, for courtesies shown them while in New York. In closing, Mr. Dossen paid a high compliment to the German Government for the way this nation received the commission and entertained them in an official way at Berlin, which showed Germany's deep interest in the Republic of Liberia. Remarks were made also by Hon. C. B. Dunbar and Mr. T. J. R. Faulkner. The band then discoursed some pleasing airs, refreshments were served, congratulations were extended to His Excellency and Mrs. Barclay for the exercises of the evening, and to the commission of their safe return to their native heath, and for the success of the mission upon which they were sent, the company dispersed, and all went home with higher hopes and brighter prospects for the Republic of Liberia. NEWS FROM PTTSBURG Shiloh Baptist Church Celebrates 10th Anniversary—Leondi Assembly School PITTSBURG. Nov. 9.—Shiloh Baptist Church, of this city, has one of the most enthusiastic Sunday Schools your correspondent has had the pleasure of visiting. The sixteenth anniversary exercises were given in the church Sunday, November 1. Mr. Josiah Phillips is superintendent. After prayer and appropriations, speeches were delivered by prominent members, all of which were worth hearing. Deacon Geo. W. Douglass made a strong plea for better training of the children. He also spoke of the duties of parents as well as teachers. Mr. J. W. Hunter, a prominent member of the True Reformers, made a talk which was well received. Rev. Samuel Smith, pastor of the church, made a talk which was enjoyed by all present. A stranger made a plea for churches to make greater efforts to encourage our people to read race literature, and also spoke of the senseless practice of decorating our churches and homes with white pictures. "So long as we continue this practice and put into the hands of our children white dolls, books and newspapers, written by white men, just so long will we have a problem of the color line, not as drawn by the white man, but as drawn on Negroes by one another," said the speaker. The exercises and religious enthusiasm at Rev. Smith's church shows that the right man is leading the people. The Leoni Assembly gave its usual monthly social in the early part of this month, which was well attended and much enjoyed. Mr. Chas, L. Ross has returned from Harrisburg, Pa., where he spent several days on a business trip. If present plans succeed, Mr. F. E. Blevins will be operating a nice business on the hill.

The ladies of the city are determined to make this movement a great success. Trinity Congregational Church is arranging a big Thanksgiving dinner. SEPARATE SCHOOLS LEGAL WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.—In deciding the case of Berea College vs. the State of Kentucky the Supreme Court Monday held that the States may legislate to prevent the co-education of the white and black races. The case was brought to test the validity of the Kentucky law of 1894 prohibiting white and black children from attending the same schools. The higher State Court took the position that the white and black races are naturally antagonistic and that enforced separation of their childre is in the line of the preservation of the peace. The opinion of the Supreme Court, handed down by Justice Brewer, affirmed the finding of both the Kentucky Circuit Court and the Court of Appeals. Justices Harlan and Day dissented. Contending that it would prove impracticable and unsatisfactory to separate corporate from private schools, Justice Harlan said the court should meet the entire question squately and decide whether it is a crime under any conditions to educate white children and Negro children at the same institution. He did not concede that it should be so regarded. "Have we?" he asked, "become so inoculated with prejudice of race that an American Government, professedly based on the principles of freedom and charged with the protection of all citizens alike, can make distinctions between such citizens in the matter of their voluntary association for innocent purposes simply because of their respective races? If the lower court be right then a State may make it a crime for white and colored persons to frequent the same market places at the same time or appear in an assemblage of citizens convened to consider questions of a public or political nature in which all citizens, without regard to race, are equally interested." Asteria, J. J. The baptistery of the St. Stephen Baptist Church. 133 Camelia street, of which Rev. M. E. Lynch is pastor, was christened by the immersion of four candidates last Sunday morning. Rev.

Corporation Counsel Thomas Holds That Negroes Must be Served WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 10.—Either the white restaurant keepers of this city will have to hereafter charge all Negroes who apply for something to eat and drink about $2.50 for a cup of coffee, $4 for a ham sandwich and $4.10 for a piece of pie, or serve the darkskinned customers against their will. Such a situation has been brought about by a decision rendered last week by Corporation Counsel Thomas, who held that hereafter hotels, cafes, ice cream saloons, places where soda water is sold and barber snops in the District of Columbia will be compelled to serve colored persons in the same room and at the same price as white people. Many of the hotel managers, anticipating colored patronage in view of Corporation Counsel Thomas decision, have already arranged a schedule of prices for their prospective colored patrons, despite the declaration of the corporation counsel that there should be no discriminatian made in prices. The spectacle of a Negro walking into the Willard Hotel here and paying $12.43 for a steak is not unlikely, and some amusing scenes are also due to be enacted at the swell soda fountains. The Civil Rights Act of forty years ago is still in full force and effect, but nobody pays the slightest attention to it. All the veneering of politeness in refusing the trade of Negroes has gradually worn off, until all the fashionable places merely announce to an intending customer of color that Negroes are not served. In the future the old plan must be restored and undesirable patrons driven away by charging prohibitive prices. Dr. Robert W. Brown started the trouble by writing a letter to the President in which he asserts discrimination because of color in the lunch room of the new $20,000,000 Union Station. Dr. Brown declares he represents 90,000 colored people in the District, as well as the sentiment of all the colored people in the country in characterizing as an outrage "this injustice perpetrated on a helpless people, and in the shadow of the Capitol of this great and glorious nation." Corporation Counsel Thomas says there appears to be applicable, to the situation the act of June 30, 1872, which provides that proprietors in case of refusal to sell to or wait upon any respectable, well-behaved person, without regard to race, color, or previous condition of servitude, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be fined $100 and shall forfeit his license. BOSTONIAN EULOGIZED Memorial Services in Honor of Joseph Lee—Other News from Boston. Boston, Nov. 9.—St. Mark's Church was packed last Sunday afternoon by the people of Boston to honor the memory of one of the most distinguished citizens. The occasion was the memorial exercises by St. Mark's Union for its deceased officer, Hon. A. H. Grimke was the eulogist, and his subject was "The Life and Service of Joseph Lee." Mr. F. Gaston Hill, in a few chosen words, presented Mr. Grimke to the audience. Filled with information which only a life of intimacy could give, and stirred by a love engendered by a long companionship, the speaker paid a tribute to the character of Joseph Lee that will not be soon forgotten by those who were fortunate, in gaining admission. After reviewing the early life and strivings of Mr. Lee, Mr. Grimke gave an exposition of his versatility, showing the different courses which his genius pursued in the search for success.

P Russell is back from Norfolk, Va. where he spent a month with Continued on Page 8 CHICAGO, Nov. 9.—The result of 'the Presidential election has brought a happy relief from all kinds of anxiety. As voting day approached, the Negro voters got together in the good old-time fashion and threw all of their strength to the Republican ticket. It was a familiar and pleasant easing of the conscience to vote for the one great political party that has a record for good intentions and good deeds. Two colored men were swept into positions of honor and responsibility by this Republican landslide. Dr. Lane was re-elected to the State Legislature by a big vote and Mr. Frank Leland was elected to the responsible and high-salaried office of county commissioner. It is confidently expected that the present State and county administrations will deal liberally with the colored brother in the important matter of patronage. Mr. J. E. Thompson, of Springfield, Ill., a successful storekeeper in that city and a member of the National Negro Business League, was seen by your correspondent a few days ago when he told a tragic and pathetic story of brutality connected with the Springfield riot, as one would expect to hear only from an unicivilized and pagan people. The ugliness of the Springfield outrage grows as you get closer to the actual scenes of that awful affair. For several years Mr. Thompson had successfully conducted a large and well-stocked grocery store on one of the principal and most popular business streets of the city and within two blocks of the public square. All classes of people were among his customers, and he was in every good sense of the term a successful merchant. On the night of the riot, Mr. Thompson relates that the lawless rioters came to his store with a large wagon and deliberately proceeded to loot and carry away his entire stock. They did not leave with their plunder until they had completely demolished all his fixtures including a new and attractive marble soda fountain. They then made a deliberate attempt to murder his wife and himself, who barely escaped with their lives. One of the most interesting characters in Central Illinois is Mr. Troy Porter, whose home is in the beautiful little city of Paris, III, near the Indiana State line. For thirty years he has lived in this community and no man is better known and perhaps better liked. He is a shrewd and long-headed man with an unerring business instinct as is evidenced by his wealth and his extensive business. Mr. Porter is a plumber by trade, but he was never satisfied to be that and nothing more. It is no exaggeration to say that he has the largest, most modern and best-stocked establishment in Central Illinois. If there is any big contract in sight he never allows a competitor to get ahead of him. He has a compelling way of overcoming all obstacles to his ambition. In addition to his extensive plumbing business he boldly undertakes large contracts for other work outside of his special line. Just now he is completing a $40,000 contract in constructing a water main from the Wabash River to the city of Robinson, a distance of four or five miles. In carrying out this big contract he has a large force of men of all nationalities working for him. He also has successfully carried on large contracts with the city of Paris for paving its principal streets and in the building of the interurban line between Paris and Terre Hante; he had an important part in the grade work connected with this enterprise. Unlike most colored men of means, Mr. Porter is very liberal in assisting any good cause that appeals to him. There is scarcely a large church in Paris to which he has not generously contributed large sums of money to help them out in any financial distress. It made no difference to him whether they were white or black, Catholic or Protestant. He is an enthusiastic life member of the National Negro Business League, and his wife and Miss Gray, his confidential secretary and clerk, are also life members. Mr. Porter owns a great deal of valuable property in the city of Paris, Ill., and also a magnificent farm located within six miles of the city, for which he paid $17,000. He lives in a finely appointed home on one of the best resident streets of the city and is very happy in his family relationship, having a wife who is highly esteemed by the community and two interesting children, a son and a daughter. Mr. Porter has been very fortunate in having a trustworthy and shrewd clerk and bookkeeper in the person of Miss Gray, who has entire charge of the office business. LIBERIA'S 61st ANNIVERSARY Citizens Celebrate Event With Approprite Services. MONROE, Oct. 31. This year marks the sixty-first anniversary of the independence of Liberia as a sovereign state. At the First Methodist Episcopal Church here services were recently held in commemoration of the historic event. A special sermon was preached by Dr. Ernest Lyon, and Dr. S. T. Prout, the acting pastor, also spoke. Services were also held at Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church, and the national sermon was preached by Bishop S. D. Ferguson, of the Protestant Episcopal Church. The services at this church were also of a very high order, and the bishop gave very wholesome advice. The celebration proper came on on a Monday. The program for the day was carried out with a good attendance of citizens at the First Methodist Episcopal Church. The choir rendered choice music; the devotional services being conducted by Dr. J. H. Deed; the Declaration of Independence was read by Mr. H. E. Snetter, after which the oration for the day was delivered by Hon. F. E. R. Johnson, Secretary of State. The national anthem was sung, and benediction pronounced by Prof. March, of Liberia College. A luncheon was served at the Executive Mansion at 2 o'clock p.m., attended by the President and his cabinet, the Mayor and Common Council, and members of the diplomatic corps, together with other distinguished citizens of the Republic. Secretary Johnson was master of ceremonies, and presided with dignity over this function of the day. The health of his Excellency, President Barclay, was proposed, and he responded to, the same in a most fitting manner, as is characteristic of the Chief Executive of the nation. The health of the representatives of foreign powers was proposed, coupled therewith the name of the American Minister. In view of the very recent arrival of the French Consul, and because of recent family bereavements, Dr. Leon waived his right to speak, and the Consul of France responded. President Barclay then arose and proposed the health of the American Minister, Dr. Ernest Lyon, and in so doing paid a splendid and eloquent tribute to the Minister's services to his own country and to Liberia as well. The toast was drunk most herely and cheerfully by the large ass and cheers greeted the Minister embly, arose to respond. His remarks as he interrupted with frequent outbursts were firsts of applause which indicated the good feelings of the audience. The health of the military department of the Republic of Liberia and the police frontier force was proposed and responded to by Major Cadell and Major Johnson. President Barclay proposed the health of the orator of the day, which was responded to by Secretary of State F. F. R. Johnson in a most felicitious manner. Mr. Johnson, as is well known, is a ready and fluent speaker, and was heartily cheered in the midst of his response. This, together with a general good feeling on the part of all present, ended the exercises of the Natal Day, and the Republic of Liberia started off upon the sixty-second car of national independence with 'in God and trust in her statesmen future progress and prosperity. PRICE, 5 CENTS THE NEGRO NOT AN ISSUE Democrats Appeal to Race Prejudice in Many States Unheeded FAIL IN MISSOURI Cowherd, Democratic Candidate for Governor was in Favor of Negro Disfranchisement LOSE IN WEST VIRGINIA Negroes everywhere are jubilant over the results of last week's election, in which William H. Taft was not only elected President of the United States by an enormous plurality, but the Democratic party in several States where attempts were made to raise the Negro issue received setbacks that will be long remembered. Particularly in Missouri and West Virginia did the Democrats seek to appeal to race prejudice to win. However, in both States Taft and Sherman were victorious and the Republican State tickets elected. In Missouri the voters elected Attorney-General Hadley, Governor. He will be the first Republican Governor the State has had for nearly forty years. During the last days of the campaign the Democrats sent out circulars to the white voters picturing mixed schools in Missouri in the event of Hadley's election. It was also cited that, Negro alternates attended the Republican Convention from Missouri. On the other hand, Cowherd, the Democratic nominee for Governor, was open in his opposition to the Negro receiving just recognition at the polls, and conducted a campaign at all times appealing to the prejudice of the white voters. It was he who several months ago introduced a resolution in the Democratic State Convention providing for Negro disfranchisement in that State. The Negroes of Missouri became alarmed over the campaign being waged against them by the Democrats, and determined to take a prominent part in the election themselves. There were more Negroes registered in St. Louis and throughout the State than ever before, and the loyalty shown by the black voters was made evident at the polls. Had it not been for their votes neither would have Taft and Sherman carried the State nor Herbert Hadley been elected Governor. In West Virginia the Negro issue was also raised. The Democrats in that State were even more active and bitter than in Missouri for at the Democratic State Convention last fall which nominated the Governor, resolutions were not only introduced providing for Negro disfranchisement and "Jim Crow" cars, but passed. It was the action of the Democrats in West Virginia that won over so many Negro votes to the Republican party throughout the nation. Many who had not decided which ticket to vote took exceptions to the action of the West Virginia Democratic State Convention and announced their intentions of standing by the Republican party. West Virginia, with the assistance of the Negro vote, did itself proud by giving Taft and Sherman a handsome plurality, electing the Republican State ticket and defeating any and all propositions that tended to retard and humiliate the Negro citizens of the State. The election of last Tuesday was demonstrated that it is utterly impossible to deceive the voters by attempting to raise issues that fail to bear inspection. Governors sought to alienate the labor vote from the Republican party as did Walters. Trotter and a few other would-be leaders, but to no good purpose. The cry, "Remember Brownsville" was not given the consideration anticipated by several of the agitators—much to their chagrin. Dispatches to THE Age from North, East, South and West all show that the Negroes gave strong support to the Republican ticket, and were instrumental in Taft and Sherman winning in several States where the results were close. Bryan Gritz One Vote at Mound Bayou. MOUND BAYOU, Miss., Nov. 9.—This city, which is made up exclusively of Negroes, gave Taft one hundred votes and Bryan one at the election of Tuesday week. An effort is being made to ascertain who voted for Bryan Among other things, Bishop Lampton said: "To the presiding elders, pastors and hymns of the Eighth Episcopal District, Greeting: "Through the Providence of our Heavenly Father and the wisdom of the General Conference, which convened at Norfolk, Va., last May, I was made bishop and assigned to this diocese. I come to you as a co-worker and spiritual adviser in the great work organized and directed by my predecessors and carried on by the faithful men of the historic Eighth. "Like the loomist, who in a vast cloth mill manipulates the shuttles that weave the fabrics, so the ministry should stand, weaving the threads of to-day's struggles into a victory. To hold this position you must be prepared, and should strive to attain the highest possible ideal of intellectual and spiritual development. In order that you may reach the highest pinnacle of perfection, you must develop soul, mind and body. Consecrate these three to the Master, whose work you are doing. Let every action and effort tend toward that development. "In cultivating plants, we must see that the soil is good and adapted to the needs of that particular plant; next, the best variety of seed is selected. After the appearance of the first shoot, it must be carefully cultivated and weeded, lest the weeds choke the roots. Thus the minister must be truly converted and thoroughly convinced of his calling, that he may prayerfully pursue his journey. You must carefully cultivate your mind and weed out every evil tendency, letting every action be for the glory of God and the advancement of the Redeemer's kingdom. "The mind is master, and to it all pay tribute; through it the doors are thrown open and we get a view of nature's resources. The mighty forces that have pushed us on from creation to the present may be attributed to the mind, with the help of God. A plant cannot thrive in poor soil. An unsanitary and immoral home will make unclean minds and breed impure thoughts and deeds. "As an institution based on Christianity, the teachings of the lowly Nazarene, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the church must stand for religious and intellectual training. You are the teachers of the people, dealing with them from infancy to old age; you have for many years inculcated in them the spirit of Christianity. Cultivate your mind so you can understand the wonders of nature and interpret it as an example of the Divine Love. It is your duty to foster all institutions, such as our own Campbell College, for the cultivation of the mind. "Have you ever considered the power, the scope of a cultivated mind? Was it a shallow and ignorant mind that first conceived the plan whereby a steamer in mid-ocean is kept in communication with all the world by means of wireless telegraphy? Was it an uneducated mind that planned the vessels for aerial navigation? It was the hands of all ages, guided by the Almighty, that has made science lay aside her old raiment and don new atire. Let pass before your eyes a procession of the achievements of the past century. To what may they all be attributed? There is only one answer, the cultivated mind. The faintest impression made upon it bestirs its curiosity; once aroused that curiosity must be satisfied. To do this it makes research, and the result is the discovery if some resource of nature heretofore unknown. "Other things being equal, education is the golden highway upward, out of poverty and competence; out of ignoble dependence into royal independence; out of darkness into light; out of weakness into strength; out of serfdom into self-assertive manhood. "We are surrounded by thrift, push, and energy, propelled by the hum of the machinery of commerce and guided by the hand of the Omnipotent. I hope you have imbibed some of this energy, for anyone who fails to keep pace with this progress must be left behind. You are naturally endowed with the mental capacity for work, so why not push on into the front ranks of civilization? You require the teachers in our institutions of learning to be thoroughly prepared to instruct your children, and you who are the guides of the soul are required to do the same, which standard I hope you have maintained. Man, with his God-given faculties, must be elevated and cultivated until he reaches that religious excellency which makes upright manhood and makes us stand close to God. We must maintain and support this efforts of organization of our fathers, take men who... of every opportunity and great and beauti-tools for the training of advantage... improve ourselves support the schoo...guest conditions for our youth. We must press and make new and better to the outre our people. My brethren, I call upon you, do every honorable thing in your power, with pen and voice, to perform your duty of soul-saving and race-building. Keep the ministry pure; preach a living Christ; visit the sick and needy of your charge, and by precept and example, teach the people the way He would have them go. For you are the leaders of your race in this work. Do all in your power to help save the departments that need immediate relief—the Book's Concern, the oldest printing establishment known among us and the landmark of the connection; the Missionary Department that is doing such excellent work in foreign fields, at home as well; the Educational Department, which is the lever in race building; for the Sunday School Union, which is sending out pure literature training minibits for the coming church; the Allen Binder League and P. R. A.; the Church Extension that is coming daily to the race in planting churches and spreading Zion; The Christian Recorder, Southern Recorder, Voice of Mission, Western Recorder and the A. M. R. Review, the cremum jog of the church; last, but not least, the Financial Department, the great banking house of the connection. At the rise of the General Conference, the ex-secretory, after paying all expenses for the quadriummen, together with those of the mid conference, turned the department over to his successor, free from debt, assets $35,000,00 a ur of n. l. iser k. ful stary of o. t. al. r. p. x.

RPPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN FUND Chairman Hitchcock, Bayo Fund Lowest Yet Recorded. Hot Springs, Va., Nov. 10.—Chairman Hitchcock arrived Tuesday and told Mr. Taft that so far as the National Committee promises are concerned Mr. Taft need not regard himself as under any obligations. Mr. Hitchcock added that a number of men had done good work, but as he said afterward in talking to newspaper men: "The successful men in this campaign have been successful in their own vocations. Either they are now well pleased politically or they are doing so well in the professions or business that they do not expect or need reward by appointment. It has been a campaign of efficiency, conducted, even to the details, by men who do things efficiently. Necessarily that kind of man is not an officeseeker. He is the kind of a man whom the office seeks." Mr. Hitchcock, when asked about the campaign contributions, said the list of contributors was to be made public before long and that the total was less than any campaign contribution total since record had been made of the money. This would date back to the Hanna chairmanship. Mr. Hitchcock said: "Most of the money came through the State organizations. It was well distributed over the United States, but of course the largest contributor was New York. Under this system of raising money it was necessarily true that we would not get much until the State organizations were in working order. When they were the money came in a bunch." Mr. Hitchcock said the offer of a Cabinet position had not yet been made to him. The chairman realizes that if he becomes Postmaster-General it will be practically a continuation of his present position of chairman, as it is through the Postmaster, General that the largest share of the Federal patronage is distributed. After he had talked with Mr. Hitchcock, Mr. Taft said that he was entirely willing to leave the inaugural arrangements to the chairman. This means that Mr. Hitchcock will select the inaugural committee. He left for New York tonight. William L. Ward will arrive here Wednesday. Mr. Taft does not know why he is coming. He said that he did not know that he was coming until informed by newspaper men who had got the information at the hotel. Politicians here believe that Warda mission will be to discuss the New York Senatorship with Mr. Taft. It is certain, however, that Mr. Taft will maintain his position of non-interference. State affairs, except that if ence in it become an active candidate Elhi Root a personal way will do what Mr. Taft in him. Mr. Taft, however, he can for I want to see Mr. Root a would be reluctant candidate for Senator. He greatly desires that the Secretary of State remain in the Taft Cabinet in his present position. James S. Sherman; Vice-President elect, is expected Thursday. He is a golfer player. The Presidential match should take place Friday morning. There is no doubt here, however, that the reason Mr. Sherman is coming is to soften if possible Mr. Taft's antagonism to Joseph G. Cannon, for Speaker. It was Cannon who forced the nomination of Sherman at Chicago. It is expected that Sherman brings promises from Cannon of acquiescence in the Taft program. Burke Bolton into Position WASHINGTON, Nov. 8—Demonstration of religious insolence in American politics is uttered by President Reagan in a letter made public Sunday. In it he answers numerous correspondents who asked during the campaign about Judge Taft's religious beliefs. The letter follows: November 4, 1988. My Dear Sir: I have received your letter, running in part as follows: While it is claimed almost universally that religion should not enter into J. L. politics, yet there is no denying that it does, and the mass of the voters that are not Catholics will not support a movement, especially for President of the United States, who is a Roman Catholic. Since Taft has been nominated for President by the Republican party it is being circulated and is constantly criticized for Taft that he is an infidel (Unitarian), and wife and brother Roman Catholics. If his feelings are in sympathy with the other hand, the count of his wife and brother being Catholics that would be objectionable to a sufficient number of voters to defeat him. On the other hand, if he is indeed a faithful and faithful, I am writing this letter for the sole purpose of giving Mr. Taft an opportunity to let the world know what his religious belief is. I received many such letters as yours during the campaign, expressing dissatisfaction with Mr. Taft on religious grounds; some of them on the ground that he was a Unitarian, and others on the ground that he was suspected to be in sympathy with Catholics. I did not answer any of these letters during the campaign, because I regarded it as an outrage even to agitate such a question as a man's religious convictions, with the purpose of influencing a political election. But now that the campaign is over, when there is opportunity for men calmly to consider whither such propositions as those you make in your letter would lead, I wish to invite them to consider them, and I have selected your letter to answer because you advance both the objections commonly urged against Mr. Taft—namely, that he is a Unitarian and also that he is suspected of sympathy with the Catholics. You ask that Mr. Taft shall "let the world know what his religious belief is." This is purely his own private concern; and it is a matter between him and his Maker; a matter for his own conscience; and to require it to be made public under penalty of political discrimination is to negative the first principles of our government, which guarantees complete religious liberty and the right to each man to act in religious affairs as his own conscience dictates. Mr. Taft never asked my advice in the matter, but if he had asked it, I should have emphatically advised him against thus stating publicly his religious belief. The demand for a statement of a candidate's religious belief can have no meaning except that there may be discrimination for or against him because of that belief. Discrimination against the holder of one faith means retaliatory discrimination against men of other faiths. The inevitable result of entering upon such a practice would be an abandonment of our real freedom of conscience and a reversion to the dreadful conditions of religious dissension which in so many lands have proved fatal to true liberty, to true religion, and to all advance in civilization. To discriminate against a thoroughly upright citizen because he belongs to some particular church, or because, like Abraham Lincoln, he has not allowed his allegiance to any church, is an outrage against that liberty of conscience which is one of the foundations of American life. You are entitled to know whether a man seeking your suffrage is a man of clean and upright life, honorable in all his deeds, deserving with his fellows, and in by qualification and purpose to do well in the great office for which he is a candidate; but you are not entitled to know matters which lie purely between himself and his Maker. If it is proper of legitimate to oppose a man, for being a Unitarian, as was John, Quincy Adams, for instance, as is the Rev. Edward Everett Hale. At the present moment chaplain of the Senate, and an American of whose life all good Americans are proud—when it would be equally proper to support or oppose a man because of his view on justification by faith, or the method of administering the sacrament or the gospel of salvation by works. If you once enter on such a career, there is absolutely no THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1908 GOSSIPER IN POLITICS Gossiper Penguin, Who Brought Into Politics, Boston, Nov. 8.—Democratic leaders in insurrection in Ameri- cans uttered by President Roosevelt made public Sunday.

Mr Sir: I have received your wing in part as follows: look at which you can legitimately stop. So much for your objections to Mr. Taft because he is a Unitarian. Now for your objections to him because you think his wife and brother to be Roman Catholic. As it happened, they are not; but if they were, or if he were a Roman Catholic himself, it ought not to affect in the slightest degree any man's sup- porting him for the position of Presid- ent. You say that "the mass of the voters that are not Catholics will not support a man for any office, especially for President of the United States, who is a Roman Catholic."

Novo- thence of his plans Root the next Senator President Roosevelt to-morrow at which V Sherman, State Ch National Committee ma- bly-ohter New York guests. National Ch may be included amo- h if he is the New York I believe that when you say this you foully slander your fellow countrymen. I do not for one moment believe that the mass of our fellow citizens, or that any considerable number of our fellow citizens, can be influenced by such narrow bigotry as to refuse to vote for any thoroughly upright and fit man because he happens to have a particular religious creed. Such, a consideration should never be treated as a reason for either supporting or opposing a candidate, for a political office. Are you aware that there are several States in this Union where the majority of the people are now Catholics? I should reprobate in the severest terms the Catholics in those States (or in any other States) who refused to vote for the most fit man because he happened to be a Protestant, and my condemnation would be exactly as severe for Protestants who, under reversed circumstances, refused to vote for a Catholic. In public life, I am happy to say that I have known many men who were elected, and constantly re-elected, to office in districts where the great majority of their constituents were of a different religious belief. I know Catholics who have for many years represented constituencies mainly Protestant and Protestants who have for many years represented constituencies mainly Catholic and among the Congressmen whom I know particularly well was one man of Jewish faith who represented a district in which there were hardly any Jews at all. All of these men, by their very existence in political life, refute the shinder you have uttered against your fellow Americans. I believe that this Republic will endure for many centuries. If so, there will doubtless be among its Presidents Protestants and Catholics, and, very probably at some time, Jews. I have consistently tried, while President, to act in relation to my fellow Americans of Catholic faith, as I hope that any future President who happens to be a Catholic will act toward his fellow Americans of Protestant faith. Had I followed any other course I should have felt that I was unfit to represent the American people. In my Cabinet at the present moment there sit side by side Catholic and Protestant, Christian and Jew, each man chosen because in my belief he is peculiarly fit to exercise on behalf of all our people the duties of the office to which I have appointed him. In no case does the man's religious belief in any way influence his discharge of his duties, save as it makes him more eager to act justly and uprightly in his relations to all men. The same principles that have obtained in appointing the members of my Cabinet, the highest officials under me, the officials to whom is intrusted the work of carrying out all the important policies of my administration, are the principles upon which all good Americans should act in choosing, whether by election or appointment, the men to fill any office from the highest to the lowest in the land. Yours truly, THEODORE ROOSEVELT Mr. J. C. Martin, Dayton, O. CHIVALRY IN THE SOUTH Recent Durels and Shootings That Have Taken Place. In the South of late years, shooting on sight has taken the place of the duel to settle political quarrels. A little more than five years ago the country was shocked by the shooting of N. G. Gonzales, editor of The Columbia State, one of the leading papers of South Carolina, by James H. Tillman, then lieutenant-governor of South Carolina. It was Tillman's ambition to be governor of South Carolina, but Gonzales, with an influential paper, fought him at every point, and denounced him as a "coward, criminal candidate, and black-guard." On January 15, 1903, Mr. Tillman, after presiding over a short session of the State Senate left the Capitol in company with several members of the Legislature. About the same time Gonzales stepped out of his office and walked down Main street. As he approached, Tillman drew his pistol, fired a bullet into the editor's body, and quite composely walked on. Gonzales died some later. Tillman was acquitted. The leading tragedy in Kentucky's annual is the assassination of William Gobel, Democratic contestant for governor, on January 30, 1900, while on his way to the Capitol in Frankfort. The shots were fired from an office building in the Capitol grounds. A window on the third floor of this building was found to be raised about eight inches, but no one saw the man who did the shooting. Gobel died three or four days later, and civil war seemed imminent in Kentucky. Governor Taylor, the Republican contestant, who had been inaugurated governor, asked President McKinley for troops to quell the disturbances in Frankfort. Several arrests were made for the assassination, and Secretary of State Caleb Powers was twice condemned to death and only recently was acquitted. Thomas Stewart, a prominent farmer of Richardsville county, Ky., who had all his life voted the Republican ticket, quarrelled with his son over an election Justice of the Peace Upton issued a warrant for Stewart's arrest. The farther threatened to kill the judge. When they met Upton drew his revolver and shot and killed Stewart. Big Holiday Number New York Age NEW YORK'S SENATORIAL ENTUACION President Given Luncheon To Further Plans to Hike Root Sensor. WASHINGTON, November 10. In furtherance of his plans to make Secretary Root the next Senator from New York, President Roosevelt will give a luncheon to-morrow at which Vice-President-elect Sherman, State Chairman Woodruff, National Committeeman Ward and probably-ohter New Yorkers will be the guests. National Chairman Hitchcock may be included among the guests, but if he is the New Yorkers will be greatly surprised. The national chairman expects to be here to-morrow and one of his retinue, who stopped in Washington to-night, jarred the New Yorkers by telling them that Mr. Hitchcock will be a guest. Mr. Ward, when told about the Hitchcock report, said he could not believe invited the Massachusetts man would be invited to a seat in what looked to him like a New York conference. Mr. Woodruff, accompanied by William Berri, arrived in Washington this evening. He said he had been asked to come, else he would not yet have left the Adriondacks: "I have no idea why I have been asked to come," said Mr. Woodruff, maintaining a seriousness of countenance becoming to a man supposed to be on the point of receiving word that the Senatorship is beyond his reach. "I don't imagine the Senatorship will be discussed," sad Mr. Woodruff, "because the Legislature will not meet until the beginning of the second week in January." Mr. Woodruff added that he preferred not to have the announcement of his candidacy for the Senate-made just yet. National Committee Ward was at the White House again this afternoon, but he did not to any further that Secretary Loeb's office. When he came out he announced the luncheon, saying that Mr. Woodruff would be here tonight and Mr. Sherman, in the morning. He also said that Mr. Sherman and he would go to Hot Springs Wednesday night. On the subject of the President and the Senatorship, he said: "The President's declarations are so positive and so well understood that his name will not be presented to the Republican caucus. The President has made plans that show his sincerity in declaring he is not a candidate and will not take the Senatorship." In answer to the suggestion that the President might be willing to come to the Senate in 1911, Ward said that perhaps by that time Gov. Hughes would be available "But, then," he added quickly, "Mr. Hughes did not want to serve another term as Governor this year, and it may be that he will decline to stay in public life after he finishes the term for which he has been elected." Mr. Ward sidestepped a direct query as to whether he believes the President has made plans for putting Secretary Root into the Senate. He said the President is willing to admit there is some truth in the charge that he interfered somewhat in behalf of Judge Taft, and if pressed he might admit having done something toward having Gov. Hughes renominated and elected, but that is as far as he is willing to go now in the matter of admissions concerning political activity. Washington, D.

Beginning with last Sunday afternoon, things were lively around the Young Men's Christian Association. Rev. Dr. George Sanderson, Chaplain of the Tombs, was the speaker at the Sunday meeting. His subject was "The Prize." He told the young men that if one was successful in running for the prize bad habits and bad companions had to be given up. He told of a canary that escaped from its cage, which, when it was found and restored to its cage, could only chirp one note. The trouble was," said the speaker, "that while it was out it got with a flock of sparrows, and from hearing them had forgotten how to sing and had adopted the one note of the sparrows." Dr. Sanderson was accompanied by Miss Jonnie May Rand, a gospel singer of great power, who rendered several selections to the intense delight of the young men. The Literary Society had an interesting program Tuesday night. Several minute talks were made on the subject, "Does the Result of the Election Please Me?" Regular participants were: Mf.

SIMS Pastor Union Baptist Church. 1898, the Union Baptist Church has prospered greatly under the energetic leadership of Dr. Sims, till to-day her church building is a credit to the race and the collections average $100 weekly. He has been a power in his district, the "Black Belt" of New York City, in his moral uprising influence and in the stimulation of Negro business enterprises. Besides the many Negro businesses in the district, which have come from the preaching of business, by the practical pastor, Dr. Sims has fathered the Simms Union Realty Company, the Dillard Brown Undertaking Company, and the Union Baptist Industrial School. The industrial school makes a specialty of the Northern plan of housekeeping. On Thursday evening, November 5, the Gregory W. Hayes Library Circle had an excellent program Mrs. Singleton was in charge. The main feature was the "Annual Convention of the Grass Widows in New York." The session was lively and interesting. The facts were made known to the attendants—the reason why they were without husbands. Sunday, November 8, at 11 a. m., Dr. Sims was at his best. He preached an excellent sermon on the purpose of God, Eph. 3: 9-11, after which three candidates were baptized. The Sunday School at 2 p. m. was well attended. In the evening Communion was served to a crowded house. The trustees thanked the audience for $162. Mrs. E. Thompson is still sick, while Mrs. M. Lathron has recovered. Union: Baptist Church is universally regarded as one of the most remarkable works in New York City. Upon the platform with Dr. Sims was Dr. G. Hunt, master of ceremonies, and those who delivered eloquent addresses, speaking of Dr. Sims as a strong preacher, builder, successful leader and a business man, were: Drs. H. A. Booker, J. H. Gordon, J. B. Boddie, D. W. Wisher, S. W. Tims, C. S. Morris, R. J. Brown, and Revs. J. W. Brooks, P. C. James, J. H. Robinson, M. E. Lynch and W. Willis. Each auxiliary of the church was present and responded with love and affection, and also flowers and purses. Among those who made speeches were: Mr. E. H. Stutley, Miss Leathway Colvert, Mr. C.A. Hutchins, Mr. P. Norrel, Mr. P. Hammond, Mrs. I. Townes, Mrs. C. F. Le Garr, Mrs. B. Brooks, Mr. David Miles, Mr. G. W. Baptist, Mr. J. E. Yates, after which Dr. Sims responded with humorous remarks and tendered his thanks to the ministerial brethren for their presence, also to the church for their kindness; after which all retired to the lecture room where three tables the full length of the church were laden with good things, from turkey down to ice cream. Dr. Sims was presented with a purse of $80 and other handsome presents. In the last ten years the church has raised over $33,000 and now has a membership of 1,265. Our popular letter carrier, Mr. Wm. F. Kinsland, celebrated his thirty-second birthday anniversary last Friday evening by tendering an "evening at whist" to a few of his many friends. The following prizes were awarded: First ladies' prize; Congress playing cards to Mrs. Frank W. Neubitt; first gentleman's prize; match holder; to Mr. Wm. Griffen; second ladies' prize, a picture; to Mrs. Maud Shelton; second gentleman's prize, an artistic photograph, to J. Edward Knap; ladies' booby prize, a china statue; to Mrs. Sarah Wilson; gent's booby prize. Tarrytown Topics. a big round honey, to Walter S. Brown. After the whist game a hostess request was parachute, of followed by dancing. Among these present were: Mr. and Mrs. J. Edward Kagge, Mr. and Mrs. John R. Richardson, Mr. and Mrs. Walter S. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. W. Griffin, Mrs. Sarah Wilson, Chan. Oubsen, Mr. Edward Montague, and daughter, Mrs. John R. Richardson, Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Nusselt, of Ardley on Hunslet, N. Y.; Mrs. Mand Shelton, of Indianapolis, Ind., and Mr. Alex P. Scott, of Debbs Perry, N. Y. Handcowe coenvirone were presented to each guest present. The evening's pleasure was ended by a coact comedy, under the direction of Mrs. Maud Shelton, entitled "Am Impromptu Welling," which provided a musical accompaniment to the recipient of many valuable and useful prots. Dr. R. Gordon Adama, from Easequebo, British Guiana, private secretary and ocular refractionist to one of the most prominent and wealthy oculists and professors of diseases of the eye in this city, has opened his office with elaborate paraphernalla for the correct measurement of defective eyesight at 16 West 13th street. There are probably few men who have ever been fortunate to be placed in such a position as he has, to get a thorough knowledge, of his profession. His vast experience abroad, coupled with eight years of continuous practical work in eye testing among the elite set of this great city with two of the best eye specialists in this city, speaks commendably of the superb competency of this young doctor of optics. He still retains his position as private secretary to the professor, but devotes his time as consulting refractionist in and out of the city. Hence he sees patients only by ```markdown ``` appointment at his office. A great future is predicted for him as the race is in dire need of one whom they will surely patronize instead of going to the clinics where they have to wait for hours and then be introduced to in a hurry.

Dayne D. Walker in Springfield. SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Nov. 11.—Springfield is being visited this week by a young woman who is doing an unusually good and praiseworthy work among the colored women of Indianapolis, Indiana. She is Miss Dayse Dean Walker, founder and president of the Young Colored Women's Protective Association of Indianapolis. Miss Walker is touring New England soliciting funds in the interest of this home. She spoke Sunday forenoon at St. John's Congregational Church and in the evening she was heard at the Third Baptist Church. Each of her addresses were listened to with rapt interest as Miss Walker earnestly and vividly portrayed the story of her endeavors and achievements. A special collection of $36 was taken at the Third Church and given to Miss Walker. This collection is to be augmented to a purse of $60 by the Sunday School of the church. Last evening the Springfield Literary Union waived its regular program in favor of a talk given by Miss Walker. The meeting was held at the Loring Street A. M. E. Church and was largely attended. A collection of $31 was raised at the meeting. Miss Walker will be at St. John's Church Sunday at 3 p. m. Last Friday evening the vestry of St. John's Church was artistically decorated with autumn field products, the occasion being the social aftermath of the church's annual bazaar, which is given by the standing committee to those friends and members of the church who assisted in making its bazaar a success. Rev. DeBerry, the pastor, presided during the evening. Pastors Moore-Browne and Cunningham made brief addresses, and solos were sung by Misses Bertha Durr and Helen-Garrett. Bishop Gaines, who visited Springfield a week ago, was entertained at dinner by Mrs. Walter Butler, of Loring street. Her other guests for the evening were Revs. DeBerry and Moore-Browne and their wives. On Thursday evening of this week Miss Alice Maria Astin, of Florence, and recently of the Hartford Conservatory of Music, will give an introductory piano recital at St. John's Church. She will be assisted by Mr. William Service Bell, who will render his service as a baritone soloist. Miss Astin plans to open a school for piano instruction in this city. Friends and acquaintances will regret to learn of the recent death of Mr. William Joseph, formerly of Springfield, and man, to Walter S. Brown, gives a humorous report of followed by dancing, present were: Mr. and Dr. Keenan, Mr. and Mrs. Dean, Mr. and Mrs. Wal- who left recently to resume his studies in medicine at Howard University. Mrs. L. F. Friman, of Central street, was the guest last week of her daughter and son-in-law, of Boston. Learn to A SOUTHERN VIEW. Best Apology. What Could Be Made for Bigotry and Laws. From The New York Sun Permit me to suggest to Mr. G. E. Williams, who called on Mr. Bryan to answer a question which he asks in a letter in The Sun the other day relative to the political status of the Negro North and South, that Mr. Bryan if he were to answer at all would most likely recommend that Mr. Williams procure copies of some of the so-called disfranchisement laws of Southern States and inform himself on the subject before again going into the public prints with questions intended to embarrass anyone. Mr. Williams is manifestly not only entirely without information with respect to suffrage restriction legislation which has been enacted in a number of the States of the South, but evidently he knows even less, if that is possible, about the conditions that made any legislation at all along this line necessary. The good Republicans of the South joined hands with the Democrats in the passage of these restrictive measures providing certain property and education qualifications, which apply to ignorant and vicious whites as well as to blacks of the same class. Mr. Williams may be interested to know that it was the corrupt and unprincipled uses made of the Negro vote by certain Republicans in the South that brought about the restrictive legislation. Mr. Williams may be interested to learn also that we are spending millions of dollars a year in the South for the education of colored children, thus giving to them every opportunity to qualify as voters and citizens, with every right as such guaranteed before the law. The door of hope is not closed to the colored man in the South. W. E. CHRISTIAN New York, November 4. St. Augustine Defeat Show In their annual contest on the gridiron, St. Augustine's football team defeated their old rivals, the Shaw University team, on the Fair Grounds Saturday afternoon by the score of 5 to 0. Last year St. Augustine held Shaw to a 0 to 0 score, and Shaw only escaped defeat through the kindly intervention of darkness. This year Shaw determined to win back her former prestige as champions of the South; and St. Augustine was quite as determined to finish what only darkness last year prevented, and her success is indicated by the score of 5 to 0. It was an ideal day and there was a large crowd present to witness the game. The two schools were out in full force and made things lively by their cheering and counter-cheering. Snow was located on the west side of the field and St. Augustine on the east side, and while their champions fought out the contest on the gradron, those along the side lines waged a ceaseless war of singing and cheers across the field. St. Augustine won in both contests, their singing and cheering, particularly on the girls, was ordered, though very enthusiastic, and aroused the spirit and spirit of their team. Shaw was outplayed in every department and rarely held its lighter but faster opponent to downs. They were never within striking distance of St. Augustine's goal, and only once in the game game did they even threaten to get anywhere within the danger limit. St. Augustine played with a dash that fairly nonplussed her opponents' made games at will around the ends and through the line. Sam Jones, Shaw's giant fullback, on whom they depend so largely, was helpless against the fierce tackling of St. Augustine's ends. St. Augustine's team work was splendid and the men responded as one man to every call that Quarterback Green made upon them. The line was firm on defense and offense. Captain Jones showed marked generalship in managing the men. He, together with Fullback Hudson and Halfback Dunn, made constant gains in their attacks against the Shaw line. Dunn making a beautiful run around Shaw's right end for 30 yards, scoring the only touchdown of the day. Hudson and Hall deserve especial mention. It was a well-earned victory, clean and undisputed, and the boys duly celebrated it that night. The school band, with a host of older boys in their new uniforms, marched through the city, giving vent to their joy. Thus closed a day that will long be remembered by both schools. St. Augustine's lineup was as follows: R. E., Thornton and Hall; R. T., Bullock; R. G. Speight; Center, T. Jones; L. G. Black; L. T. Eaton; L. E. Marrow; Q. B. Green; R. H. B. Dunn; L. H. B. D.

HUNTINGTON, L. I., Nov. 10.—George Mills, one of Huntington's best known colored men, a Civil War veteran, and who was a shoemaker, working for F. A. Van Hee, was found dead in his shop yesterday morning. He was partially undressed and Corner Gibson, who examined the remains and who had been treating him for drops and heart trouble, decided that death, which probably came on Saturday night, was due to natural causes. Mills enlisted in the navy at second call for troops during the Civil War, and was rendered totally deaf by concussion, caused by the discharge of big guns on the training ship. He was a member of William Lloyd Garrison Post No. 270, G. A. R., of Brooklyn, and through arrangements made by the post was to have entered a soldiers' home last Thursday. Desiring to finish up some work, he put off going until Wednesday of this week. He is survived by three brothers and two sisters.

Subscriptions by mail, postpaid BOON TO EQUAL RIGHTS. Only the final election returns show the measure of the victory and compliment for Negro citizenship in the overwhelming Republican victory of last Tuesday. Aside from the success of Taft and Sherman, born friends of the Negro and consistent advocates of equal citizenship, the results in the States where his position was involved, were everywhere favorable to him. In West Virginia, the Democratic attempt to disfranchise Negroes was thwarted by the election of a Republican Governor, Glasscock, and an increased Republican delegation in the Legislature. In Missouri, the election of a Republican Governor, Hadley, and an increased delegation in the Legislature detains the Democratic candidate, Cowherd, and his party pledged to "Jim Crow" cars, disfranchisement and "white man's country" doctrine. The Republican landslide in Kansas buries, perhaps forever, such Democrats as Chairman Atwood, who openly advocated disfranchisement and "Jim Crow" schools for Kansas Negroes. The general success of the Republican ticket in Delaware will probably end the Democrats' exclusion of Negro lawyers from the Delaware bar. Finally, the success of such law-enforcing Republicans as Governor Hughes of this State and Governor Deneen of Illinois, a stern defender of order in the Springfield roat, makes complete the boom to the cause of equal rights. The fact, as the returns prove, that there was nowhere a considerable Negro deflection but everywhere an aggressive and general Negro Joyalty makes the victory for the Negro - all the more sure and sweet. THE SOLID SOUTH. No individual in this country more than the Negro has reason to rejoice at the incipient break-up of t''s solid South as noted in the Republican victory in Missouri and the election of Republican Congressmen in North Carolina, Arkansas and Kentucky: The Southern mind, formerly in chronic fright over the bogy man of "Negro domination," is relaxing. Because of this fear, the Negro has been suppressed, because of this suppression and mob law the South has stunted its own commercial and industrial growth. In consequence the South has dwarfed its own social and menial life. And the South lags generations behind the rest of the country. The Republican party through its business policies has made its successful appeal to Southern business men. Almost unawares it makes substantial inroads which future elections will increase. The presence of two strong parties in the South will free the South's mind from the foolish fear of the Negro. Peace and progress then again will reign. The Negro's votes will be bargained for at the price of protection and equal rights. The vulgar, though cancerous, "lily white" Republican party cannot last. Negro Republicans must henceforth prevail incessantly upon the party in power to destroy the dangerous growth. The South must become reconciled to the Negroes' rise to equal citizenship. It must realize that the War Amendments will not be repealed and that the same law will cover all, black and white alike. It is written that the solid South will be broken. It must be broken not to the detriment of the Negro but to his advantage, in common with the advantage of the South and the country. TWO URGENT REFORMS. Now that the political campaign is over and we cannot be charged with partisan politics; THE AGE wants to urge that two immediate reforms take place without delay. First, that throughout the country, our people, especially officials, see to it that the present method of letting Negro churches to be used for political purposes is to be stopped once for all. It is impossible for people to connect religion and the ideas of reverence and worship with a house that is continually used and desecrated in connection with political hurrahs of a character. There are plenty of halls and other public places that can be rented for such purposes. The doors of the Negro Church should be closed once for all. White people do not permit their houses of worship to be used for political purp point, neither should Negroes. The second reform is equally important and urgent, that is that our Negro Bishops and ministers should cease to take active part in partisan politics to the extent they do. To have it known and widely advertised and gossiped about that a Negro Bishop and minister is handling money of different candidates, is being paid for his services, is spending his time and energy in promoting political interests, when he is paid to work for the promotion of church interests, is all wrong and should be stopped once and for all. No man or woman likes to be a member of a church when they continually hear the name of his Bishop or minister being discussed in the way that he hears the name of a ward politician being discussed and abused. There is no need or excuse why the Negro Bishop or minister should any longer take such a prominent and, we might add, disgraceful part in partisan politics to the extent they have been doing. The Negro minister should, like other citizens, take a right and reasonable part in political affairs, but no one will excuse a minister or Bishop for going to the extent of permitting himself/to be used in handling money and travelling over the country under hire of some political boss. When it becomes once known that a Bishop or minister is active in this way, his moral and religious influence is crippled almost to the point where it is beyond redemption. THE EDUCATED NEGRO. One of the happiest signs of the times is the common complaint against the tendency of many higher-trained Negroes to draw themselves apart from the efforts making for the uplift of their people. The proper requirements and changed ideals of educated men, who have been trained at the sacrifice of parents and philanthropists, the people thus reveal. One of the most depressing spectacles of the hour, is the picture presented by some half dozen unstable and discredited so-called educated Negroes in politics. Lazy and consequently poor they entered the campaign, vital in its decision for their race, for petty graft. Living apart from the life and needs of their people, they have been theorists and demagogues. That man is not educated who with classical training, smattering more or less, avoids practical service, plain language, common sense and common people. Education has been truly defined as university training plus common sense plus experience. Education is not a toy but a tool. Education, true education, does not make a man while away his time playing with the creatures of his fancy. Education fits a man to serve better, uplift more and achieve greater things. For the educated Negro, the harvest is ripe. The opportunity is his nwb to make sure foundation for the intellectual and industrial future, of his race. The dreaming and loafing high-trained Negro at this opportune hour is both a sin against and a reproach to his race. The educated Negro must see not only, the greater beauty but the greater duty of life. A DANGEROUS DREAMER. Not for the sake of creating or sustaining deprecated antagonisms, but for the good of the race, we take this opportunity to illustrate the dangerous policy of the "intellectual school of Negroes led by the Professor of Atlanta. In "Political Talk" No. 5, in a recent issue of the "Horizon," the Professor's Magazinelette, which was carried by all the Democratic Negro papers, the talker gave this third specious reason for supporting Bryan, who a few months ago attily and frankly justified the South's political enslavement of the Negro: "If Bryan wins, and wins by the aid of Negro votes, what then? The Democratic party comes into power and knows that it can stay in power, if it Negroes. * * * * Vote for Bryan." On learner Professor, for a little common sense! In your State of Georgia and the other Democratic States of the Union, with gue or two possible exceptions, did the Democrats wrest power from the Republicans by placating Negroes or eliminating Negroes? Have they stayed in power by placating Negroes or eliminating Negroes? It would be only logical to assume that the Democrats in power in the nation would seek to stay in power by eliminating Negroes in the border and pivotal States. Your appeal, Professor, to race consciousness and consequently to race prejudice is not only illogical and dangerous, but un-American. We ask the race's forbearance in its criticism of the Doctor. Do not accuse him of ignominious ignorance or of dishonesty in trying to beguile and be fuddle the Negro by his fine and florid language. We simply say, if this is the leadership of the intellectual Negro, give us the leadership of the educated Negro, with the saving grace of common sense. May the race ever tolerate its theorists and dreamers but may it never follow them. UNMATIFACTORY LIVING There is no more unsatisfactory life led by any one than that of the individual who tries to live wholly by politics. Every citizen has a right to take a reasonable interest in local, State and national politics, but political activity does not produce anything within itself. The individual who depends upon political work alone for his living usually gets left far behind in the race for life. The men in this country who have the most political influence are those who are independent of politics, that is, those who have some business upon which they depend for their living. The average political wire-puller of any race is a forlorn and disconsolate creature. Our young men should not abstain from reasonable political interest and activity. But they should have a business first and make politics second. EX-PRESIDENT FALMA DEAD In the death at Santiago on November 4 of Thomas Estrada Palma, Cuba loses its first President. Born in Bayamo, Cuba, 72 years ago, he was exiled and his large estate was confiscated during the revolution of 1876-8. Although a patriot nearly all his life and although Cuba prospered greatly during his first administration, 1902-6, it is a singular fact that a large part of the population, among whom were the Negroes, were always suspicious of his loyalty to Cuba and consequently distrusted him. At his second and turbulent election in 1906 this element suspected Palma of favoring Cuba's annexation to the United States. A widespread revolution followed, which President Palma called in the authority of the American Government to suppress. It is a strange coincidence that President Palma should die on the day of the election of Secretary Taft, the first provisional American governor, and on the eve of the Cuban national election, to be held in the Island on November 14. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS. The occasion for our dividing and disastrous differences has passed. Taft has been elected, and all of us believe in all kinds of education for the Negro and more of it. Let us then sink our differences. Let us co-operate for the common good, in order that we may lay the oncoming prosperity; that we may the more effectually combat the evil within and without our race. Let us present a united front to the enemy. The "Shall, the People Rule" forces of the South through, the Charleston News and Courier, have formally launched the Bryan boom for 1912. It were better for Democracy that a millstone rather than Bryan be tied about its neck. What tribute more full and felicitous has been paid visiting statesmen or heroes than this of the New Haven Evening Register on the occasion of Booker T. Washington's recent address to the Connecticut Teachers' Convention: "To hear Booker Washington alone was the chance of a lifetime." Last Tuesday's election again revealed the ultimate sense of justice and civil equality of the American people. The Demagogue and the South's aspirations to suppress the Negro through the nation was crushed at one blow. The election also demonstrated that gratitude and common sense are ruling virtues of the masses of Afro-Americans. Negro pessimists and the alluring blandishments of Marse Henry were both alike repudiated. A few years ago a few Negroes of class started and very properly a high-toned magazine, the "Moon." The "Moon" went down. Since, the same class ones, W. E. B. Dullois, F. H. Murray, of the War Department, and L. M. Hershaw, of the Interior Department, have started a magazine, the "Horizon." If these fine political prophets and leaders suffer another such disaster as the election of Tait has been, both the "Horizon" and its promoters will come down to earth. Chattanooga, evangelists want Mr. Bryan to begin preaching. When, in the memory of man, has Mr. Bryan done anything else? Despite the petty things of envy of those we contemporaries who went off on the Brownville target, THE ACE will continue dispensing them consolation rather than censure. We are sorry to note that so many literaries are still discussing such time-worn and fruitless subjects as "The Pen is Mightier Than the Sword." The great mass of pressing social and political questions before this country and the world will furnish topics more interesting and enlightening. Few people know that there were two colored athletes—John Taylor and Leroy Holmes—at the great Olympic games at London. Fewer still know that Leroy Holmes was sent by a fund of the Frederick Douglass Center in Chicago and that he came within one inch of the world's record mark for the high jump. The Negroes of Louisiana as well as at the National Capital have reason to rejoice at Taft's election. In the Sugar Cane State there are 244 persons of color working for Uncle Sal who draw a yearly salary of $21,146. (21,146) among whom is the aggressive and honorable Walter F. Cohen, draw salaries of $3,000 each. The recent break at the Philadelphia Penny and Nickel Savings Bank, when $225 were secured, has given that institution several times, perhaps that amount of advertising. We wonder if another Crum case will develop from the appointment by Governor Ansel, of South Carolina, of a Negro notary? The Governor has simply followed the precedent set by his predecessors, including Tillman. But the getting-the-boys-to-together time was certainly inopportune. Through the clever, ballot-folding trick of Maryland Democrat, between ten and twelve thousand Republican votes, mostly Negroes, were thrown out. At that, Taft carried "Maryland, My Maryland," by some hundred votes, though he gets but two out of the eight electoral votes. Taking the will for the deed, Councilman Cummings is a true prophet and not without honor in his own country. Clark Howell says: "The South will not remain longer a mere voting machine." There are tens of millions of Americans that come from Missouri on this point, Mr. Howell. By a courageous and timely ruse, Senator-elect Joseph L. Bristow, from Kansas, once prevented the sure lynching of a Negro in Southern Kansas. A gentleman who seems to know his ground, said a few days ago that of helpers had only continued their work a little longer, the State of Georgia would have gone Republican. As it was, it came nearer casting, its ballot for Taft than it has done since the days of reconstruction. Practice Problems Religion in the United States. The black man in America has adopted the white man's religion because he has no other and is naturally religious, he is hopelessly mystified over the white man's application or misapplication of his own religious precepts and professed tents of faith. The Negro knows that the white man balks at the doctrine of fellowship when it brings him up against the more material proposition of the prejudice of races, but with a charity that is wonderful in its depth and volume, the black man lets no other surpass him in his faith in the truth of those religious fundamentals which his life with the white man has implanted. But a Frenchman, in whose country infidels are as numerous as careless thinkers are here, has been studying the religion of America, and has recently given out a scientific criticism of our religious practices, as a whole, which serves to show how the American, in many ways, moulds his religion to suit his other and apparently higher aims. In his race for the dollar, his writer says, the American's finer senses mind away from thoughts of the morrow or of the future life. There is no unshakable devotion to a religious creed and members of the same family may belong to different sects without the least domestic friction. The devout are without fanaticism and the free thinkers without hatred. No country has more charitable institutions than the United States, and in no country do people give more freely, but the individual is not a rule unless a sacrifice; charity is carefully organized, not so much for the relief of the individual, but as a precaution against social disorder, and to keep down discontent and revolt. It is a matter of public prudence. Individual life is of little value, but public health is of vital importance. And thus this critic goes on to show that practical religion in this country is a business and not a principal of transient faith. There is small recognition of universal love. There is everywhere the spirit of personal comfort and peace of conscience procured by being kept aloof from personal contact with the things that are distasteful and unpleasant, and for this the people pay, even in charity. If this measure of the white American's religion is correct, and it appears to be nearly so, it gives to the groping Negro a more practical and a more lofty conception of the true character of the lowly Jesus and that religion which his life exemplified and established.—Denver Colorado Statesman. Night Ridertam Not Ended. We hope that the Governor of Tennessee has been misquoted in the dispatch which puts into his mouth the opinion that there is no longer any necessity for the conference of Southern Governors which he proposed a fortnight ago. If Mr Patterson thinks so because he has arrested the ringleaders of the Redhill Lake outrage and restored temporary order through the disturbed region, he has been deceived about the strength of the night riders. To correct himself, he need only read the confession of the secretary of the Redhill Lake outlaw band. Contrary to all previous suppositions, it now appears that the affair at Walnut Log Hotel was more than a local disturbance. Capt Renkin's miscreants received money from night roder throughout Tennessee and Kentucky for their organization, which was an old one. In short, the southern hawbreakers hang in heart, the southern tracelers tracelers help the man who their dependent's cotton, while the fussiest backs up the lyncher of Negroes. Are they not all brothers? Those who will do as they please unite against their common foe, the law. It is madness to be diverted from this fact by one local victory, which is not yet wholly won—New York Evening Post. A Bush for the Pig Counter. There was not a Negro paper in the West, North, South or East that stood out and took chances as the St. Louis Palladium did. Now that it is all over and we have won, shall we be invited to the pie counter?—St. Louis, Palladium. Editorial Scrolls. We woke up last Wednesday morning to find that Mr. William H. Taft was elected and that the editor still had a milk cow, some chickens, a good yard and a fine garden coming on—Ulahna Montgomery Colored. Alabaman Two Negro Meetings Give Great Ground on the Journal Analysts. Columbus paid a wonderful tribute yesterday to the intellectual powers of Booker T. Washington, the noted Negro educator, a living example of what education and training will do for the Negro, when more than 6,000 persons attended meetings at Memorial Hall and St. Paul's A. M. E. Church. Racial prejudices were cast aside and silk-gowned white women rubbed elbows with less richly-clad Negro women as they walked up the broad-marble stairs to Memorial Hall. White professional men in broadeloth sat alongside colored men clad in coarse garments, with white shawl soiled by labor. Both classes joined in ganttastic applause when the noted economist stole the platform, the whites expressing their admiration for the wonderful struggle the man has made, and the Negroes their appreciation for his uplifting work in their behalf. Every seat in Memorial Hall was occupied an hour before the program was scheduled to begin. People began to file into the auditorium at 1.30 p.m. The aisles were filled after the seating capacity was exhausted. Then the stairways rapidly filled up and finally the doors in the east and west sides of the auditorium were thrown open and several hundred crowded into the areaway around the auditorium and heard the speaker. Billionaires still filed down Broad street to the hall and nearly sought admission while the big hall was jammed. The disappointment was so keep outside that overflow meetings at the Y. M. C. A. and St. Paul's A. M. E. Church were held yesterday afternoon. Large congregations heard Dr. Washington at both meetings. Dr. Washington made a powerful plea for more Biblical teaching among his race. He said many persons are worrying without cause about the racial question, because in a few years America will have no racial question if the people continue to spread the Gospel among the Negroes. He decried the impatience and fear of the low progress and told them they were measured people by too exasperating a yard stick. "Consider," he said, "a few centuries or even decades ago my people were led from the wilds of Africa and suddenly dropped into the very highest type of civilization. Praig don't measure us by your civilization and then kick us down because we don't measure up to requirements. If we were measured by certain Asiatic civilization the comparison not only would unfair, but that in the race to come abreast with the white man, history shows there is no other ahead of the Negro." Near the close of his address the speaker, inspired by love for his people and the apparent justice of his plea, dramatically called upon the audience to remember that one man can't keep another down in the ditch without being in the ditch himself. He climaxed the plea by announcing that so long as any one portion of the country is submerged, other classes will, to a certain extent, be the under dog with them, and that the Negro will bring many up with him when his race is finally abreast of the white man. Dr. Washington's physique, his face, head and gestures typify the indomitable will and strength that carried him from a position of abject slavery to a commanding position in the nation as a missionary looked by groves a Marian of the race. The phrologist at a glance can see the lines that make him a successful president of Tuskegee Institute, the largest colored school in America. Although born under conditions that would make the ordinary man a humble citizen, he is to-day accepted as a power among leading white educators. Dr. Washington walked on the stage at Memorial Hall with a firm, confident tread, as one sure of his ground. His shoulders are broad and his six feet of stature gives the strength and poise to command respect. His hair is close cut and gives him the aspect of a war dog with all its tenacity right behind him. He gleams with killfulness and they temper the appearance of the latent fighting forces. The man's forehead is broad, high and shapely, with enough space to contain a plentiful supply of reasoning powers. His lips are thin, drawn tight across his molar. They show strength of character. His jaw has the firmness of one who has the courage to stand up to conviction. He speaks with how that conviction "whispered a delegate to the Bible Students' Conference, after looking at the speaker. John R. Mott; general secretary of the presided at the afternoon meeting at Memorial Hall—Ohio State Journal, October 28. NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS The disadvantages under which Negro mechanics in the large cities of the North have to work has led R. R. Wright, the Negro sociologist, to lead in the organization of the Negro mechanics of Philadelphia. The purpose of the movement is to secure to the skilled Negro laborers the same pay and opportunity for work enjoyed by white workers. Negro mechanics are increasing several influential white citizens of the city in the effort. Organized citizens of this character in other Northern cities would mean much to the hundreds of Negro mechanics who go from the South to these cities, but find it impossible to pursue their trades on account of the white labor unions. That the Negro fraternal organizations are realizing their opportunities is evidenced by the many efforts on their part lately to invest their means in buildings and businesses that are a credit to the race. At Jacksonville, the Masonic building is funded $100,000; building to be called the Masonic Temple. The building, which will be constructed of stone and steel, will be modern in every respect. Recent decisions in favor of Negroes complaining about unlawful discriminations on the part of railroads in the South have emboldened others to lodge complaints. Now complaint has been made against the accommodations accepted Negroes in Texas from Kansas to Oklahoma, Texas and other States. According to the Oklahoma Guide, a specific case at Guthrie, Okla., has been called to the attention of the President. Instructions have been issued that a careful investigation be made and that prosecutions be instituted in event of any violation of federal law. 'A circular sent out by the St. Benedict's Industrial and Missionary Society, of Baltimore, announces the beginning of a movement to have Negro priests placed 'in charge' of every Catholic Church supported wholly by Negroes. This association is striving to interest Negro Catholics throughout the country having priests of their own race. Four Negro priests at pretent represent the numerous Negro laity of this powerful church. The Euphemia Sodality of Beautitude, through J. T. Bowman, of St. Louis, has made application for a grant of large tracts of arid land in eastern Oregon, on which it proposes to establish a Negro colony. The sodality, which is seeking to be incorporated, intends to lay out a town and build a railroad, if the desired grant of land is obtained. Dr. James E. Shepard, a Negro of Durham, N. C., is sending out literature relative to the establishment of a religious training school modeled after the one at Northfield. The object of this school is to train ministers, Sunday school teachers and home missionaries. "A course in advanced methods, the art of reaching and teaching men," will be given. Practical work will be attempted in several communities. In an important opinion rendered, Attorney-General Ellis of the State of Ohio holds that the maintenance of separatist-colored pupils is illegal and brings out such a violation exists in Huron county. The opinion was given to the prosecuting attorney of that county, and he was advised that the maintenance of a separate school for colored pupils by a Board of Education in that county and the denial of equal rights to colored children in a graded school established for white children are unlawful acts. Margaret Davis, a young colored girl showed such proficiency in the German language while in the schools of Cincinnati that she has been sent to the German-American. Seminary in Milwaukee will, to pursue courses there that will equip teachers in the public schools of Cincinnati. The supervisor of German in the public schools of the city effected the arrangements by which she is to receive this more extended training. BISHOP GRANT CONGRATULATES TAFT.

Consul at Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, and was appointed to that post through the recommendation of Hon. Chas. W. Anderson. WEEKLY HISTORY LESSON No. I. SOFTWARE WORK EXERCISES? (Pref. Note, Author, of Columbia University, in Antiquity Medical History) "A few remarks relative to the physical character of this singular people may form an interesting prelude to their national history. There are two sources of information respecting the physical character of the ancient Egyptians. "These are the first descriptions of their persons incidentally to be met with in the ancient writings; and, secondly, the numerous remains of paintings and sculptures as well as human bodies preserved among the ruins of ancient Egypt. It is not easy to reconcile the evidence derived from these different quarters. The principal data from which a judgment is to be formed are as follows: 1. Accounts by the ancients. If we were to judge from the remarks in some passages of the ancient writers alone, we should perhaps be led to the opinion that the Egyptians, were a wooly haired and black people, like the Negroes of Guinea. There is a well known passage of Herodotus (2, 104) which has often been cited to this purpose. The authority of this historian is of the more weight as he had traveled in Egypt, and was therefore well acquainted from his own observations with the appearance of the people, and it is well known that he is in general very accurate and faithful in relating the facts and describing the objects which fell under his personal observation. In his account of the people of Colchis, he says that they were a colony of Egyptians and he supports his opinions by this argument that they were in the ancient remains hrdlu hrdlumfuw or black in complexion and wooly-haired. These are exactly the words he used in the descriptions of undoubted Negroes. The same Colchians, it may be observed, are mentioned by Pindar (Pytha 4, 377) as being black, with the epithet of _____, on which passage the scholastic observes that the Colchians were black and that their dusky hue was attributed to their descent from the Egyptians, who were of the same complexion. Herodotus in another place (2, 57) alludes to the complexion of the Egyptians as if it was very strongly marked, and indeed as if they were quite black. Some other writers have left us expressions equally strong. Aeschylus, in the Supplices (v. 722 sqq.), mentions the crew of an Egyptian bark as seen from an eminence on shore. The person who espies them concludes them to be Egyptians from their black complexion. "There are other passages in ancient writers in which the Egyptians are mentioned as a swarthy people which might with equal propriety be applied to a perfect black or dusky Trubian. We have in one of the dialogues of Lucian (Navigum sen vota vol. 8, 158 ed Bip) a ludicrous description of a young Egyptian who is represented as belonging to the crew of a trading vessel at the Piraeus. It is said of him, that besides being black, he had projecting lips and was very slender in the legs and that his hair and the curls bushed up behind marked him of servile rank. In another physical peculiarity, the Egyptian race is described as resembling the Negro. Achan Anim (7, 12) informs us that the Egyptians used to boast that their women immediately after they were delivered could rise from their beds and go about their domestic labor. Some of these passages are very strongly expressed, as if the Egyptians were Negroes; and yet it must be confessed that if they really were such, it is singular we do not find more frequent allusions to the fact. 2. The second class of data from which we may form a judgment on the subject are paintings in temples and other remains. A very curious circumstance in the paintings found in Egyptian temples remains to be noticed. Besides the red figures, which are evidently meant to represent the Egyptians, there are other figures, which are of a black color. Sometimes these represent captives or slaves, perhaps from the Negro countries; but there are also paintings of a very different kind, which occur chiefly in Upper Egypt, and particularly on the confines of Egypt and Ethiopia. In these the black and red figures hold a very singular relation. Both have the Egyptian costume and the habits of priests, while the black figures are represented as conferring on the red the instruments and the symbols of the sacrededal office. "In these it is plain that the idea meant to be conveyed can be nothing else than that the red Egyptians, were connected by kindred and were in fact the descendants of a black race, probably the Ethiopian. "The third class of data is the skull. 'Beyträge zur Naturgeschichte' concludes with a remark that the Egyptian race, in his opinion, contains three varieties: 'These are the Ethiopian,' Hindu and Berberforms." "Conclusion: From what has been adduced we may consider it as tolerably well known that the Egyptians and Ethiopians were more of the same race, whose shadows from the earliest times were regions bordering on the Nile." SUPERINTENDENT IN "HOT WATER" Annex to Queen Street Public School Located Next to a Saloon Although Offered Better Sites NORfolk, Nov. 10.—Much severe criticism has been directed against the recent ruling of Superintendent of Public Schools Dobie forbidding the teaching of the rudiments of Latin and algebra in the Queen Street Public School, the only school in Norfolk where these two studies are taught. As matters now stand the colored children of this city will be unable to take a course of study in any of the higher branches. There has never been a high school here, but Latin and algebra were taught at the Queen Street Public School. The leading Negro citizens are not disposed to accept Superintendent Dobie's order with passive interest, and a warm fight is to be waged in the interest of the Negro children being given a higher course of study. There are three overcrowded schools in Norfolk proper and one in Berkley. Over 35,000 Negroes are said to live in the district where the schools are located. Another order made by Superintendent Dobie was the excluding from the Queen Street School of a large number of children whose parents work in Norfolk but live in Huntsville. The Colored Citizens' National Educational and Industrial Association, which was responsible for an increase in attendance at the public schools this season also are protesting against the station of the Queen Street annex, which is next to a saloon. Only a door separates the school from one of the largest saloons in the city. Next to the saloon is a police station and directly across the street is another saloon. Several respectable locations were suggested to the School Board for the annex, and the citizens are at loss to explain why such a degrading and unfit site was chosen.

WALTON There has been a mutual cancellation of contract between Hurtig & Seamon and Harrison Stewart, which means that the "Oyster Man" Company is not likely to be organized and sent out during the theatrical season of 1988-9. Last spring Harrison Stewart signed a contract with Hurtig & Seamon to play the leading comedy role in the "Oyster Man," owing to the illness of Ernest Hogan. The contract was for two years, expiring in 1990. As Hurtig & Seamon have not shown a disposition to send the show out, although it was reported the company would organize after election, the young comedian asked the firm to cancel the contract existing between them so he could secure additional employment and feel sure that he would not be called upon at any time to quit work. After considering the matter for several days the management agreed to declare the contract null and void. Harrison Stewart contemplates going into vaudeville. "Salome" continues to have its troubles. Now comes Gertrude Hoffman, who was at Hammerstein's Victoria for over two months last summer in the dance, and declares she is tired of "Salome" and wants to do something different. Upon leaving Hammerstein's she became connected with the "Mimic World" Company and proceeded to give her version of the dance. But, alas! She has found that outside of New York City the people fail to see "Salome" as a clean bit of entertainment. Monday in Philadelphia several ministers' meetings were held in which resolutions were passed protesting against the production of "Salome" by Oscar Hammerstein at his new Philadelphia opera house in the near future. Resolutions were adopted at the Baptist Ministers' Conference and a meeting of the Methodist preachers. The resolutions are to be sent to Impressario Hammerstein, and the ministers believe he will heed their warning cry and agree to give "Salome" the twenty-three sign. However, Mr. Hammerstein has not decided what he will do. Avery and Hart were one of the features of the bill at Hammerstein's last week, and Mike Simmons, the stage manager, was evidently impressed with the idea that they could make good, for he gave them the hardest spot on the bill—following Mike Donlin and Mabel Hite. Despite all this, the well-known vaudeville pair scored. It is said that Avery and Hart have a new act and wanted to put it on during their Hammerstein engagement, but were told that the Victoria was not try-out house. We would have much rather viewed the new act, as the old one has been seen several times before; yet it was pleasing to observe that a colored act can do itself proud after having to follow the idol of the New York baseball fans—Mike Donlin—who is in vaudeville with his wife for a short stay. With Ernest Hogan and Cole and Johnson out of the vaudeville field, Avery and Hart are now the highest-salaried colored variety artists in the business. As they have already established a reputation and are really two clever performers; we hope their new act will be built on original lines. There is no need of them being a pocket edition of Williams and Walker any longer. Let them appear in an act that will leave an impression after one has seen it that Avery and Hart have been on the stage—not Williams and Walker. It is well and good for new acts to resort to impersonations, and doubtless Avery and Hart made their reputation impersonating the other two comedians, but they don't have to resort to such work any longer. In the old act Williams and Walker songs are sung; you will find the Williams and Walker mannerisms and even hear some Williams and Walker dialogue. Let Avery and Hart commence to give the public an act that will reflect credit on them as original entertainers. They can do it. Carita Day, formerly leading lady for Ernest Hogan, seems to be the subject of a controversy being waged between the United Booking Office managers and Hurtig & Seamon. In the meantime, it has developed that all is not serene in the club department of the United Booking Office, due to the misunderstanding that has arisen between the management of the club department and several managers who book attractions with the United Booking Office. The trouble all started because Carita Day did not appear on the bill last Saturday night week at an entertainment given by the New York Athletic Club. It seems that the New York Athletic Club has been giving the United Booking people the privilege of furnishing the performers for its annual entertainment. The club management was not so well pleased with the last bill provided by the United Office and decided to make a change. Hurting & Seamon have a club department and the athletic club management instructed them to furnish the bill for the occasion. One of the performers approached by Hurtig & Seamon to appear at the New York Athletic Club's entertainment was Carita Day, who is being booked by Jimmy, Plumblot, of Buick & Plumblot. She accepted the engagement, but later informed Hurley & Sconner she would be unable to fill the date because of illness. When Harry Sconner investigated the matter he decries he learned that the United, Booking people had issued an order that any performer connected with the United Booking Office would find themselves "in bad" should they play at the New York Athletic Club benefit, which meant they would not receive any more time from the big office. Whether such an order was issued or not, there was not an act on the bill that receives booking from the United Office. When seen by the writer Carita Day said: "As you know my relations with Hurtig & Seamon have always been of the best. I worked for them as Ernest Hogan's leading lady for three seasons and would not do anything to cause them any inconvenience. 'As I notified Mr. Seamon I was indisposed and unable to appear on the evening in question. I am really sorry I am being brought into the discussion." WHERE THE BIG SHOWS ARR.

Rudolph Voelckel, of the firm of Voelckel & Nolan, proprietors and managers of the Black Patti Troubadors and the Dandy Dixie Minstrels, while at Thomasville, Ga., October 28, received a telegram from New York containing the news of the death of his mother, Margaret Voelckel. Mr. Voelckel left for his home on the first train to attend the funeral. The interment took place in their family plot at Luther Cemetery, October 31, and was attended by her MARY MRS. MARGARET VOELCKEL four surviving sons, Frederick, Emil, Rudolph and August, together with a large gathering of her many friends and relatives. Mrs Voelckel's death came suddenly from heart failure, and she passed away quickly and peacefully and almost without suffering. She was 67 years of age, a great-grandmother, and always in perfect health until the vital attack. Her sons are recovering from the severe shock, and Mr. Voelckel rejoined the Black Patti Company at Chattanooga, Tenn., November 7. NEWS FROM BANDANNA LAND. What the Various Members are Doing and Trying to Do. The company is on its way to St. Louis where it will remain for three weeks. Business was very good in Pittsburg last week. It was the second time a colored show ever played at the Duquesne Theatre, Williams and Walker having appeared there during their first season as stars. Minnie Brown is doing nicely with the "Red, Red Rose" song, and the newspapers have said some very complimentary things about her work. J. Leubrie Hill is also coming in for some good press notices. The Pittsburg Leader in particular thought highly of his character work. Of course the two stars—Bert Williams and George Walker—are given more praise by the critics than any in the company. Aida Overton Walker continues to please in her work, which is commended on all sides. Last Tuesday evening week many of the male members of the company sat in the Leoni Club, Pittsburg, and received the election returns. From the applause and noise made the results evidently pleased the "Bandanna Landites." Alex. Rogers looked sad all election day. He deplored the fact that he was an actor and could not vote for Taft, Messrs. Shipp, Walker, Shoemaker, Williams, Gibbs, Elkins, Moore, Payne and Rex were also feeling blue. Several of the members of the company have formed a literary society. The prime movers are Miss Walker, Miss McIntosh, Miss Brown; Messrs. Allen, Elkins and Guillamme. They are said to be doing some excellent work. Efforts are also under way to organize a dramatic society; also a real estate trust. The promoters of the latter have been secretive and their plans have not been made known. It is said, however, that they contemplate some huge land grab in Mississippi, where they intend to open a Dreamland. Lots will be sold—to those who want them. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1908 Hill and Hill are at the Orpheum Brockman, Mass. Fiddler and Shelton are at the Green- point, Brooklyn. Avery and Hart opened Monday at Keith's, Boston. This week Brown and Nevarro are at the Lyric, Dayton, O. The Five Musical Spillers are at Keith's, Boston, this week. Eppe and Loretta are with a company at Havlin's, St. Louis, Mo. Irving Jones opened this week at Dennett's, Hamilton, Canada. Black and Jones are at the Orpheum, Oakland, Cal., for two weeks. The Brittons are again in New York City. They are at the Colonial. The "Watermelon Trust" opened Monday at Proctor's, Troy, N. Y. The Ten Dark Nights are one of the hits of the bill at the Orpheum, Brooklyn. The Majestic Trio write from Spokane, Wash., where the act is playing this week. The "Dixie Serenaders" are at the Majestic, Milwaukee. They write the act is doing nicely. The "Buckeye Quartette," of which Walter Robinson is manager, is in St. John, N. B., this week. The Georgia Campers, with Cleo Desmond, are booked over the Poli Circuit, opening in Hartford, Conn., Monday. J. W. Cooper, ventriloquist, last Sunday closed a three weeks' engagement at Huber's. He is at the Family Theatre, Pottsville, this week. Belle Davis will not be in America this season. Although booked over the Orpheum Circuit she has had her booking put back a year and will remain abroad. Within the past two months many Colored acts have been given employment at Forepaugh's, Philadelphia. According to the latest reports the theatre will no longer be used as a vaudeville house. It has closed and is no longer on the Morris circuit. George W. Cooper, formerly of Cooper and Robinson, but now of Cooper and Smith, has turned out to be a regular hotel man. He has opened a hotel in Harlem for the theatrical people that is considered the most up-to-date in Manhattan. Mrs. Ada Lee Alexander, of the Black Patti Company, would be pleased to learn the whereabouts of Mrs. Alice Hilton, nee Wilson, of Providence, R. I. Any person knowing of Mrs. Hilton's whereabouts would confer a great favor by communicating with Mrs. Alexander, care of THE NEW YORK ACE. The Robinson Trio appeared at Hurtig & Seamon's Music Hall last Sunday evening and furnished several minutes of good entertainment. The act is good in spots, and Dan Michael is a capital comedian for the trio. There are a few spots, however, that could be better staged. Owing to repeated requests, The Age is getting on well and will be the first of which will be the dramatic section. It will be the largest and best ever published by a colored newspaper. All performers who deal with the public will be the dramatic editor at once, as applications for space are coming in daily. The Thomas - New York Dramatic Club is planning to have a busy season. It has rented the parlor floor of the old Walker House Hotel where a series of dramas will be presented. The company intends to establish a permanent dramatic hall at some future date for amateur work, and the members are working toward that end. On November 16. "On the Brink" will be presented by a capable company at the new headquarters, 19 and 21 West 193rd street. This is the eighth and last week of the New Orleans Minstrels at Huber's and Joe Moore has provided a good bill for closing week. In the minstrel first part the following sing songs: Mamie Furber, "Help Yourself"; De Van, "Good Old Georgia"; Annie Smith, "Pride of the Prairie"; Sallie Lee, "I Can't Think of Nothing in this Wide, Wide World But You." In the olio, Watts and Eucher and Perrin and Crosby appear. The latter team presents the best act that has been given in the olio since the minstrels have been at Huber's. Goldie Crosby is a clever little performer, but could be more refined in some of her work: The company closes the show with a cakewalk, in which the best work is done by De Van and Mamie Furber. FROM THE TRACK TO THE STAGE. Jockey in New Riding Imaginary Races Tommy Meade, a jockey, who earned $10,000 before the anti-beting laws became effective, is now drawing $40 a week on the stage. Meade now rides every evening in a mimic race in "Blue Grass" at the Majestic Theater. The glare of footlights is not new to him, for when only a stripling of twelve—he is twenty-eight years old now—he sang in a minstrel show. He was about to sign to ride for Sam Hildreth, the owner of a big string of race horses, when the Agnew-Hart hills became law. That killed Meade's chance for a valuable contract. Hildreth, uncertain regarding the turf situation, called off the negotiations. When this check in his fortune came, Mengle, who had considerable readiness, joined the ranks of the race-track plungers, and although he won at first he soon lost all he had. Then he thought of his first vocation in life, the stage, and he obtained a "mount" from Liebler & Co., the managers of "Blue Grass." "I'm not the only race-track man that this play has helped us financially," declares Blonde. "Pa' Daly increased his bank account considerably by selling his horses Linness and Sailor Bay to the managers. Wenford, a horse that once brought home filings for his owner, is another horse in the play. The one I ride raced under the name of Russellton." BURLIN, Nov. 7.—Isadora Duncan, apostle of undress dancing, who is now appearing in the United States under the management of Mr. Frohman, has been driven from Berlin by the now rigorous police regulations against the nude in art. She has given up her school for teaching children and has removed to Darmstadt, where her project has been received with open arms by the Grand Duke of Hease-Darmstadt himself. His Royal Highness has placed a splendid block of ground not far from the palace at Miss Duncan's disposal for the erection of a schoolhouse. Her affairs in Germany were some time ago placed in the hands of a joint stock company, of which she is managing directress. An extension of the school's scope is planned under advisory committee, which includes such well-known names as those of Humperdinck, author of "Hansel und Gretel"; Thoma and Schott. DEPTINN TO EARN SUCCESS BERLIN, Nov. 7.—Emmy Destinn, the Bohemian soprano prima donna at the Berlin Royal Opera, who is to make her first appearance in America in the coming Metropolitan season, will arrive in New York next Tuesday-on board the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse. Mille. Destinn is the greatest singer on the Kaiser's stage, and the German public is curious to learn what special reception American opera-goers and critics will vouchsafe her stellar roles of Carmen and Aida. The Czech songstress has been engaged for three consecutive seasons in New York. She will receive during the approaching season $500 an appearance, and, as she has been guaranteed fifty performances, her friends will probably point out that she will earn in three months in America $25,000, which is about equal to what she can make in three years in Berlin. Mlle. Destinn, among other roles, will be heard as Mme. Butterfly in New York, which she, after all, was prevented, on account of illness, from singing here prior to her departure. Musical Notes Miss Hazel Harrison, of Laporte, Ind., who distinguished herself some years ago as a pianist touring Germany with an orchestra composed of well-known artists, was entertained last week in Chicago by the Woodlawn Woman's Club. The club is composed of white women of culture and wealth. Miss Harrison will go to England in the Spring to give awards of recitals. That the lovings of music in Greater Boston were looking forward to the rendition of Councill's beautiful little master for separate chops, "Gillen" by the choir of the Cymbius Avenue A, M. E. Zion Church, was made manifest by the great crowd that filled the auditorium last Sunday afternoon. It was the jigth of a series of choral vespers services to be given during the season and the impression left upon the audience was, that the production was one of the best that has been offered this season and that the director, Prof. J. R Kinom, had succeeded in training a chorus so that it can sing to please the most discriminating ear. The work of the solistis was of unusual excellence Mme. Augustine Barrows, soprano soloist, has a pleasing voice, and was really brilliant in her rendition. On the program which followed the singing of "Gallia," Mr. Charles Wilson gave a well-played selection on the trombone. He was accompanied by Mr Lovett Grovès. A trio, composed of Mrs. Rhone, Miss Irene Jurex and Miss Mabel Grant, contributed a very pleasing offering of "Lift Thine Eyes," from "Elijah." Mr. G. W. Tarrant, baritone soloist, sang two numbers. His second number, "The Publican," was especially effective. Mr. W. O. Taylor, cornet soloist, in a very satisfactory manner played "The Lost Chord." The choir sang two more chornes—"Unifold Ye Portal," from the "Redemption," and "The Heavens Are Telling," from the "Creation." The latter was a very ambitions and lawful effort, and furnished a most effective and pleasing climax to an excellent program. One of the features of the service was the explanatory paper on "The Life and Work of Gounod," by Mr. J. F. Arbuckle, in which he treated analytically the work to be rendered. Mr. F. C. Gilbert also augmented the success of the choruses by his fine work at the organ. Newark, N.J. Miss Florence Neblett and Mr. Willard Bucklins, both of Brooklyn, N. Y., were united in marriage last Thursday evening. November 5, at their friend's residence, 44 Camden street, this city. Rev. J. B. Tembrook officiating.

Jones, a prominent Negro lawyer and politician of Muskogee, Okla., walked into the Secretary of State's office one day last week and asked to inspect some papers relating to the extradition of E. W. Allen, a client, he was informed that he could do no business there unless he removed his hat. Thereupon Jones and J. F. Anderson, a local Negro attorney who accompanied him, quietly left the Secretary's office. It is said that whenever a colored man goes into the office in question he is imputed to make to question his hat. Jones maintained that he was his own self-hat to the removal or not removing his hat when in a public office. It is noless to say that the Secretary of State is a Democrat. That this incident will be used by Jones in the Allen case goes without question. Mr. Jones, the Mukorose attorney in question, is one of the best lawyers in Oklahoma. He is a graduate of How University, Washington, D.C., and is the only colored man holding member of the State Central Committee of Oklahoma. The Nestor of Oklahoma are with him to a man on his hold man. BIG HOLIDAY NUMBER or THE NEW YORK AGE Which will appear in December.

Washington addressed a large gathering at Sayles Hall, Brown University, Friday evening, at a session of the Rhode Island Institute of Instruction. President Faunce, of Brown University, presided. Dr. Washington's address: "In speaking to you to-day on 'Some Results of Industrial Education' I hope you will keep in mind that I am speaking of education in the larger and broader sense as well as in the narrower and class room sense. The world is interested in results. Sometimes at the Tuskegee Institute in achieving these results we use the class room; sometimes a farm twenty miles from the class room; sometimes we use a textbook on arithmetic; sometimes a trowel; sometimes a text-book in grammar, or an acre of land planted in turnips. I should advocate, also, the same system of education for the masses of any race of people, regardless of color or race, who are in the same relative stage of civilization that the rank and file of the Negro race is in this country to-day. "From the beginning of the Tuskegee Institute up to the present time—and the same is true of the Hampton Institute in Virginia—we have kept iff mind the actual needs and condition of the masses of the Negro people. We have tried as best we could to study their condition and their needs and then adapt our educational system and efforts to meeting and improving these conditions. We have tried to do so regardless of whether the same thing has been done in any other part of the world, or in the same way, or whether the same thing was done after the same manner a hundred years ago. "Very largely through the efforts of the students themselves at Tuskegee we have built up a plant consisting of $200 acres of land, 96 buildings, 36 industries, and all having a money value of about $250,000. This plant within itself has value, but the greatest value has come to the students and to the Negro race from the effort put forth on the part of students in creating this plant. Out of this effort has come training in skill, training in the habits of application, training in self-dependence, self-education and moral character. For any race, regardless of color, just emerging from a state of bondage to a state of freedom, it is mighty important in the evolution of that race that it be taught as soon as possible, especially while it is getting the experience in its early life, to keep its feet upon the earth—to not yield; the temptation to fly off into artificial atmosphere. The teaching of the young Negroes in the South to keep their feet on the earth, to keep in touch with the soil, to keep, in touch with wood and iron and the real things of life, has been far-reaching and most helpful in its influence. The results of this kind of teaching will show themselves much more in the future than in the immediate present. Then, too, for a race just coming out of slavery, it was mighty important that at many large centres in the South the race should have that education which should teach it the dignity of labor, the same lessons that the early settlers of New England learned years ago, the same lessons in regard to labor which have made the present generation of people who inhabit New England strong, powerful and useful citizens. The Negro, like any other race, needs its professional men, needs men with college and university education, but back of these and around these it needs an intelligent, thrifty, skilful, producing class who look upon all kinds of labor as dignified and all kinds of idleness as disgraceful. "More and more in the future than in the past, in my opinion, the educational world is going to appreciate the fact that work with the hands has a mental training or mind value as well as economic value. No one can watch the unfolding and strengthening of the mind of the student at Tuskegee who receives systematic hand training without being convinced of the mental value of this kind of education. I wish you could see at Tuskegee on commencement day the student on the commencement platform, before his parents, friends and students, describing in his commencement oration how he planted and worked and harvested an acre of turnips. I wish you could see them on the commencement platform and hear his intelligent, logical and interesting description of what he has accomplished, and then I am, sure that you would agree with me that this kind of education has mental value; and on commencement day, especially, it has the additional value and additional interest of giving the student an opportunity to talk about something that both he and his audience understand and appreciate "On our commencement platform last May it may have been a little unusual to see an actual wagon upon the stage, but when I tell you that the plan of this wagon was drawn by the student, that he had created it in its work in wood, in irise in painting and general finish, and that add to this his intelligent descriptive of the processes of creating this the go, processes demanding an accurats knowledge of mathematics and of glukies, you will be more impressed. I think, and agree with me that that kind of training has mental value. "Most of all it has a moral value. No matter how much knowledge one may have in the head, without an economic foundation, without the ability to do something which the community in which he lives actually wants done and is willing to pay for, there is likely to develop moral weakness in the case of the individual. Mere mental training almost increases once wants, increases the response. It is highly important that along with minimal investment there go a training which will enable the individual to supply life increased wants by being able to do something that the place in which he lives actually wants done. "Despite what you may hear to the contrary, despite exciting and conflicting reports that you hear from the South, industrial education has a tremendous value in helping us to settle rightly our race problem. I was never more convinced of this fact than I am to-day, since I have been spending a week traveling through the States of Mississippi and Arkansas, making an actual investigation as to the relations of the races. The North often hears of the worst things that take place in the South regarding the relations of the races; it rarely hears of the best things that take place. Despite all the discouraging reports that you have heard; for example, of the State of Mississippi, I question whether we can find an equal number of black people anywhere in America who are making such tremendous progress, educationally, morally and economically, as is true of these hundreds of thousands in Mississippi. "The man living outside of Mississippi is likely to get the idea that the race has not white friends in that State. This is a great mistake. I met hundreds of white men and white women who not only expressed their interest in the education and in the development of the Negro race, but I had opportunity at nearly every point where I touched to see for myself what these strong, courageous, liberal-minded white people were doing for the development of the race. I found that true in Mississippi which is true throughout the world, that just in proportion as the Negro by reason of his skill and integrity was able to make himself of use in the community in which he lived, in that degree the white people were aiding in his education and development. I found, for example, 11 banks in the State of Mississippi owned and controlled by black people, and in every case these banking institutions had the good will and assistance of the white business community in which they existed. The point is that the white people had learned by actual contact with the Negro of intelligence and industry that he possessed a value to the community. They had learned that the Negro banker was of more value than the Negro loafer, and hence they were willing to spend money and effort on creating more opportunities for the Negro to make himself useful. "Speakup, more broadly as to the results of industrial education the value of this form of training can best be gauged by that fact that there is great demand throughout the South for every man and women that we can turn out from our institution. At Tuskegee, for example, we cannot begin to supply this demand. It comes to us from members of our own race who want our graduates as teachers and industrial leaders, and from members of the white race who want them to occupy many positions in the industrial world. "When we consider all that has taken place in the South, the results are not discouraging, but most encouraging. Largely through this form of education the Negro race as a whole has developed to the point where it owns and pays taxes upon over $500,000,000 worth of property. It has already blotted out its ignorance to a degree that scarcely has a parallel in the case of any other group of people, whereas in many of the old countries of Europe you will find dense ignorance among people who have been free for generations. In the case of the American Negro he has already gotten to the point where 55 per cent, can read and write. In proportion as the Negro is trained he becomes morally strong and influential in the right direction. 'Of all the men and women whom we have turned out from Tuskegee with our diploma, with one exception, I cannot find an individual who has ever been sentenced to the penitentiary. The record of the graduates from other institutions is equally encouraging.' "We must not become discouraged or disappointed. We can build a house in a few weeks, but we cannot develop a race within a few weeks. Patiently, courageously, sometimes painfully, we must go through all the processes of civilization that any other race has experienced. "We have a serious, complicated and hard problem, but as teachers and educators, instead of despairing in the face of a difficult problem, we should be grateful for a problem. I had rather belong to a race that has a problem to work out, to master, than to belong to one that has no problem, that has no serious difficulties. In proportion as we meet, face and solve perplexing problems, in the same degree are we ourselves in the highest sense broadened, strengthened and educated."

Out of 160,000 farms in South Carolina, according to statistics, the Negroes own more than 60,000. The only colored dry goods store owned and controlled by members of the race in Savannah, Ga., is that of Scott Bros., West Broad and Gwinnetts streets. Miss Ida Groves, daughter of J. G. Groves, the potato king of Edwardsville, Kan., is in the real estate business in that city. The first ground was broken in Jacksonville, Fla., for a magnificent five-story building to be known as the Masonic Temple. The building will cost $100,000, and will consist of brick, stone and steel. The display of various kinds of handicraft and the many products of the farm and of fine live stock in the Negro Department and Building by the members of the race, at the Alabama State Fair, in Montgomery, October 19-24, was highly creditable, and was also the subject of much favorable comment by the throngs of whites who visited the building, no less than the colored. There are now not less than forty-five banks owned and managed by the Negroes of this country.

Carmack, editor of The Nashville Tennesseean, was shot and instantly killed this afternoon about 4 o'clock by Robin J. Cooper, a young attorney, the son of Col. Duncan Cooper, a local, Democratic leader. The tragedy occurred in Seventh avenue, in front of the Polk apartment house. The continual ridicule in the editorial columns of The Tennesseean which Mr. Carmack directed at Colonel Cooper was the cause of the tragedy. Mr. Carmack had been warned that Colonel Cooper would resent the attacks on him, and was armed with a revolver, two chambers of which he emptied, one of his shots wounding his assailant in the shoulder. Senator Carmack was three days past fifty years old at the time of his death. Throughout his long public career, beginning with his entrance into the Tennessee Legislature in 1884, Senator Carmack was known as a bitter opponent of the Negro. He with Senator Tillman led the fight against the retention of the Philippine in 1902. One of his speeches that is remembered was Senator Carmack's denunciation of Senator Poraker for the Ohio man's attitude on the Brownville af- JACOB GRIFFITH METROPOLITAN MERCHANTILE REALTY COMPANY Capital stock $1,000,000 Stocks $25 Bonds $10 Homes for sale, 300 lot left.
