ROOSEVELT ON THE NEGRO Speaks at Laying of Corner Stone of the Colored Y.M.C.A. As Well as South Declares the President-He Says Each Man Should be Treated on His Merits When Speaker Said "No Man Should be Trusted Badly on Account of Color, Nor Receive Immunity for Misconduct." WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 26.—President Roosevelt was the principal speaker at the laying of the cornerstone of the Colored Young Men's Christian Association Building Thanksgiving. Hundreds of Negroes listened to the President, who was applauded time and time in during his address. be President declared that what is known as a race problem is one of the difficult questions, and that it exists in the North as well as the South. He said the only way in which to bring newer the time where they shall be even an approximately fair solution of the problem is to treat each man on his merits as a man; that he should not be trusted badly because of his color, nor should he receive immunity for misconduct because he happens to be of a given color. Mound Bayou, Miss., was also praised during the President's speech for being a model Negro community. President Roosevelt's address in full: "It is to me a matter of peculiar pleasure to be present on this occasion, at the laying of the cornerstone of the building for the Colored Young Men's Christian Association of Washington. The Y. M. C. A. has worked among colored men for less than thirty years. For a number of reasons, for some time after the work was begun very little progress was made; indeed at first, curiously enough, the churches tended to amalgamize the Y. M. C. A. But during the last twenty years the Y. M. C. A. work among our colored fellow citizens has proceeded rapidly, and these are the very twenty years in which the colored race in America has made most progress. The religious people, those standing highest in the colored churches, now appreciate, as they failed to appreciate a quarter of a century ago, that innocent sports and amusements should be encouraged, and that the poorest lesson to be taught to any men of any race is that pleasure and vice are synonymous terms. The bowling alleys, the swimming pools and gymnasiums of the Y. M. C. A. buildings are adjuncts of a very important kind to the effort for the moral and religious uplift with which the Y. M. C. A. movement has always been identified. Moreover, the Y. M. C. A. reaches both the classes that are reached by the churches and the classes that the churches fail to reach. Such a building as this will be in open every day and every evening. It brings in men of many different types, for it appeals to many different sides of human nature. Already the colored Y. M. C. A. has a membership in this country of nearly 10,000, 5,000 belonging to the thirty-seven city associations, and 5,000 to the student organizations. Of the $30,000 spent last year for the current expenses of the thirty-seven city associations, three-fourths were paid by colored men. It is noteworthy that of the 10,000 colored men attending the colored colleges of this country, half are active members of the Y. M. C. A. This speaks well for the spirit of these colleges, and gives us hope and encouragement for the character of the leaders of the colored race in the future. Over 4,600 volumes were circulated last year from the as yet limited number of colored Y. M. C. A. libraries. "No city in the country presents a better or wider field for useful Y. M. C. A. work among the colored people than Washington. Here we have more than 20,000 colored men, who have, unfortunately, but few safe places to which to go for innocent amusement. Hundreds of young colored men are every year being lured away from the habit of decent living because they are not supplied with the chance to go where innocent and healthy amusements are provided in surroundings that encourage education and morality. I cannot too briefly commend the action of those colored men who are responsible for starting this building. When completed it will be a tribute to the advancement of the colored race; and also a monument to the advancement of the city of Washington. It will be a model for the entire country; it will influence other cities; and it affords an excellent opportunity for both white and colored men to join in the work of uplifting a society that surely needs aid. The colored in who builds that which improves and beautifies his city earns the right the respect of his white neighbor, and helps himself in a double way. I hope that the colored men will combine freely toward this building, and hope that their white friends will help them also. Such a building as this comes the improvement in morality, in Christianity, in education, of the col- --- THE NEW YORK AGE. ored citizens of Washington; and therefore it concerns not only the colored people of Washington, but the white people also. When completed this building will cost $100,000, and no sum of money could be better expended. In thirty days the colored people of this city pledged $15,000 in order to secure a gift of $28,000 contingent on their raising a like sum. Of this $28,000 pledged by colored men, only $12,000 has been paid in; and right here let me say a word to the colored men who have pledged, sums and have not redeemed their pledges. No man has a right to promise aid to a cause like this and not to keep his promise. It is the duty of every such man to make his promise good and to do it at once; and all those who have not pledged for a contribution should likewise contribute. Every church, every fraternal and civic society of the race, every colored man of means, should feel the obligation to complete this building as soon as possible. Negroes Contribute Toward Work. "Let me mention a couple of cases of which colored men have contributed largely to work of this nature. "A colored man, born a slave, in Knoxville, Tenn., was so much impressed with the value of the Y. M. C. A. work among white young men that he gave a piece of property costing about $2,000 to the colored Young Men's Christian Association. He has the honor of having given the largest gift up to that time of any individual in the State of Tennessee, regardless of color to the Association movement. "Another colored man, who was born on the gold coast of Africa, came to this country at an early age, was befriended by the Philadelphia Y. M. C. A., and by the use of their library prepared for a competitive examination, entered the University of Pennsylvania after winning the prize, received his education, and is to-day a very successful physician in the city of Portsmouth, Va., gave $500 to the building fund of their association a year ago. He also gave $100 for current expenses the first year the association employed a secretary, and says: "The reason I make these gifts is because I owe all I am to the Young Men's Christian Association." "Many other cases might be cited showing how this work appeals to reputable colored men in many sections of the country. There is possibly nothing needed worse in all our cities and towns than well-organized Young Men's Christian Associations which shall stand for character building in the threefold way in which the Y. M. C. A. endeavors to do its work. It pays far better to support the secretary of the Y: M. C. A. in a community than to pay the salary of a policeman. Homes are made safe and the community is lifted to a higher level by lifting these young men to better ideals of life. As for the white man, let him remember in this as in all other matters, that to do justice to the colored man is demanded not only by the interest of the colored man, but by the interest of the white man also. Sooner or later in this community every class of citizens will feel the effect of the raising or degradation of any other class. 'All men up' is a much safer motto than 'Some men down'; and it is to the interest of every class of any community that the members of every other class shall feel that industry, sobriety, good behavior, the conduct that marks a man as being a good neighbor and a good citizen, should receive a proper reward, so as thereby to put a premium upon the development of such qualities. I am not speaking of social relations. I am speaking of equality of treatment before the law, of equality of opportunity to earn a living, of equality of opportunity to earn the respect that should be accorded to the man who behaves decently, and is a good neighbor and good citizen. There are plenty of difficult problems in this country, plenty of problems requiring infinite patience, for bearance, and good judgment if they are to be dealt with wisely, and which cannot by any possibility receive even an approximately complete solution within a short time. What is known as the race problem is one of the most difficult; and it exists in the North as well as in the South. But of all thing we can rest assured, and that is near the only way in which to bring nearer the time when there shall be even an approximately fair solution of the problem is to treat each man on his merits as a man. He should not be treated badly because he happens to be of a given color, nor should he receive immunity for misconduct because he happens to be of a given color. Let us all strive, according to our ability and as far as the conditions will permit, to secure to the man of one color who behaves uprightly and honestly, with thrift and with foresight, the same opportunity for reward and for living his life under the protection of the law and without molestation by outsiders, that would be his if he were of another color. The avenues of enjoyment should be open to one as to the other; the protection of the laws should be guaranteed to one as to the other. Each should be given the right to prove by his life and work what his capacities are, and should be judged accordingly. Each is entitled to the reward which he legitimately earns if he behaves well; each should be judged with the same severe impartiality if he behaves ill. The same fair treatment should be accorded both, and every effort made to give equal opportunity to those of equal capacity and character. It is the duty of the white man to see that exact justice is meted out to the colored man, the same justice that he would receive if he were not colored; and upon the colored man is imposed the duty to make himself a AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION UNION NEW FREEDMEN Will be Introduced in Congress on Behalf of Depositors WILLIAM B. McKINLEY Has Consented to Introduce Measure in the House—Senate likely to Give Plan Consideration WASHINGTON, D. C., November 24. Shortly after Congress convenes it is likely that another bill will be introduced appropriating $1,000,000 for the relief of the depositors in the Freedmen's Saving Trust Company. Representative William B. McKinley has consented to introduce the relief measure. Many believe that during the coming session of Congress both houses will agree to the plan to make good the money lost by hundreds of Negroes throughout the United States, who put THE R their earnings into the Freedmen's Savings Trust Company, believing that the United States Government was back of the institution. Bill Introduced Last Winter. Last winter a similar bill was introduced in the House and passed, but obstacles were met in the Senate. One of the reasons given was that the Senate adjourned before it had an opportunity to take up the measure. Supporters of the bill claim prospects are more roseate, and that the Senate will give the matter more consideration than before. Rev. James L. White has asked President Roosevelt to recommend to Congress an appropriation of $1,000,000 to be paid to depositors. The President made no definite promise, but it is known that he has not been opposed to the passage of such a bill. Bank Established After Civil War. Freedman's Savings Bank was incorporated by Congress just after the Civil War and failed in 1994. Rev. White has in his possession nearly five hundred pass books belonging to depositors in the default institution. It is contended that the failure of the bank was due to the lack of supervision by the Federal Government, as the majority of depositors relied on the promise made when the bank was established that the Government would have entire charge of the institution. BRYCE AT TUSKEGEE Distinguished Party Spends Two Days Looking Over Tuskegee Institute. TUSKEGEE, Ala., Nov. 26.—Tuskegee Institute was visited by a distinguished party last week, remaining two days at the well-known institution. In the party were James Bryce, British Ambassador to the United States, and Mra Bryce; Sir Harry H. Johnson, the African traveler; Hugo Chartier, attache of the British Embassy, son of Lord Elcho; the Rev, Leander T, Chamberlain, of New York City; Robert Underwood Johnson, associate editor of the Century; W. G. Willcox and Robert C. Ogden, New York City. Ambassador Bryce delivered an address in the Tuskegee Institute Chapel on Tuesday at 2:30 o'clock, saying in part: "It is interesting to me to see that you have a number of students from the British Empire, and I thank them for EAL NATIONAL their welcome. We have within that Empire many millions of the Negro race, in eastern, southern and western Africa, and, of course, also in the West Indies. We are profoundly interested in what is being done here. We hope to obtain suggestions by which we can be benefited, and we are very glad that colored people from British Africa and the West Indies should be among you. I have long been convinced that the idea which your principal put forward, and which is here being worked out, of the importance of industrial training, is a sound, fertile, practical idea. It is grounded in the history of the human race; every family of mankind, whatever its color, has to begin, and the white race did begin by acquiring habits of steady and constant labor, and by working out for itself, a knowledge of the industries and arts on which civilization, even in its simplest and rudest forms, must rest. NEGRO FARMERS IN GEORGIA Own18,700 Farms in That State and Buying More PROFESSOR P. C. PARKS Discusses Condition of Negro Farmer—They Pay Taxes on Property Valued at $7,149,925 ATLANTA, November 34.—P. C. Parks, Director of the Department of Agriculture of Clark University, recently discussed the condition of the Negro farmer in Georgia in the Atlanta Constitution, According to Prof. Parks there are 18,700 Negro farm owners in Georgia. The interview: "At 9 o'clock Thursday morning, Professor L. H. Bailey, of the country life commission, opened a hearing for the BIRD. Negro farmers of Georgia in Athens. There were twenty-five representative Negro farmers and quite a number of the leading colored citizens of Athens present. Dr. Soule, Dr. H. C. White, Chancellor Barrow and Mrs. F. J. Orr, of the University of Georgia, were present at the hearing of the Negro farmers. "Dr. Bailey stated briefly the object of the meeting by saying they had not come to inspect any institutes or to make speeches, but to find out what they could about the rural life in Georgia, in order that they might present facts to the President of the United States. "Mrs. Judia C. Jackson, who is teaching school about three miles from Athens, made a statement of what could be done with a little help in improving the rural schools. She showed how she had gone into the rural section years ago, and when most of the colored people were waiting hand, through the assistance of the teacher, who was living among them, the people formed land clubs and bought over 40 acres of land. She said, 'If the commission could devise some plan by which the public schools could be made more effective along this line much good would be accomplished.' There are 294,340 farms in the State of Georgia. Of these 124,340 are rented farms, or in other words, sixty out of every hundred farms in Georgia are rented. The colored farmers rent 78,139, or about fifty-four out of every one hundred of the State's rented farms are in the hands of Negro tenants. Many of these tenants move every year, and do not take any interest in the gardens, orchards, terraces or premises on which they live. "What we need is a renting system which will be fair to both the landlord and the renter, and at the same time keep the farm in a high state of productiveness. Some of the landlords seem to care nothing for what their tenants do, so they pay their rent; and the tenant in return does as little as he possibly can, because he does not know where he will be the next year. "Taking the latest official reports, there are in the State of Georgia 168,939 Negro farm land laborers with an average earning power of $147 per year each. The majority of these laborers have never seen a well-arranged dairy, fruit or stock farm. The mule, the scooter plow stock and cotton are all they know. They do not have anything to stimulate a desire for better things or a love for their calling, which the majority of them must follow for a livelihood. The State is still inactive in educating the Negro farmers, and think that money spent in this way is wasted. 18,700 Negro Farm Owners. "There are in the State of Georgia 18,700 Negro farm owners. These farmers, as a rule, do not understand diversified farming. Many of them want to change their system of farming and raise their standard of living, but they do not know how to do it. The one-crop system of cotton is all they know. Hence they go on growing cotton, buying their corn and meal from the west and allowing the farms which they cultivate to run down for the want of proper information and guidance. "If the white people of the State could be made to see that a little State money spent in encouraging farmers' institutes and State and county fair among Negro, farmers a great step forward will have been taken. "While I have thus pictured the condition of the Negro farmers of Georgia I do not wish to convey the idea that they are not making substantial progress for they are making substantial progress. I wish to give a few figures. "In 1886 Negro farmers owned farm implements to the value of $260,549; in 1906 they owned, farm implements to the value of $1,402,033, an increase of 43.1 per cent. In 1886 the Negro farmers owned horses and mules to the value of $5,850,761, an increase of 171.4 per cent. in twenty years. In 1886 the Negro farmers of Georgia returned for taxation 802,939 acres of farm land valued at $2,508,198. Recently they returned for taxation $1,420,885 acres of farm land, valued at $7,149,025, an increase of 79 per cent. in acreage and an increase of 185 per cent. in value. "Georgia is the best place to study the progress of the Negro farmer. Why? "1. Because she has a greater diversity of conditions than any other State. "2. Because Georgia has the largest Negro population than any other State in the union. "3. Because she is the only State in the South that has kept a separated record of the returns of the taxes of the Negroes and white people since the emancipation." BUY 2.000 ACRES United Order of Good Shepherd Purchase Land in Alabama. SELMA, Ala., November 21.—One of the largest efforts of the year among the Negroes of the South was formally 'launched the first of this week by the purchase of 2,000 acres of land in Dallas County by the United Order of Good Shepherds from Captain W. W. The United Order of Good Shepherds was organized three years ago by Mr. Z. M. Chandler, who is Supreme President of the Order. Since that time the organization has made rapid gains in membership until to-day it has 6,000 members in Alabama, 1,100 in Florida and 800 in Louisiana. The purposes of the order are for the industrial, agricultural and social uplift of their race. The price paid for this splendidly located tract was $18,000. The land will be divided into lots of from five to twenty acres, which will be disposed of on an easy-payment plan only to Negroes, with members of the order given preference. While it is the purpose of the organization to promote the industry of their race, they also hope to make money on their investment. The home for the aged will be called "The Shepherds' Home," and will be devoted to the care of the infirm of the race who are sent by the authorities of the order. On January 1 the organization will take charge of the property. There are already about 50 houses on the place and others will be erected. The board of trustees that closed the deal for the property is composed of F. A. Alison, Hattie Henry, Selma the Rev. E. W. Cook, Alberta House, Snowhill; the Rev. D. Bron, Montgomery; C. E. Guice, Mt. Andrew; P. L. Western, Snowhill; Dr. N. Neshi, Montgomery; T. E. H. Dickerson, Eufaula; J. S. Evans, Ozark; W. O. Alexander, Schma; Laka Davia, Definanik Springs, Fla; S. H.

In St. Louis at the Coliseum— White Republicans Celebrate Victory—Nagroos Abount REGARDED AS A SNUB State Carried for Taft by LILLIE Voters and Most Lieutenant Governor by Two Voters. Thanks to Negro Voters. St. Louis, November 34.—On November 14 the Republicans had a running love feast at the Coliseum, the occasion being the celebration of the big Republi- can victory in Missouri November 2. Singe then the Democratic press has sought to arouse a bitter feeling bet- ween the white and colored Republicans of this city because the Negro voters were not invited to the banquet, although it was the Negro vote which gave President-elect William H. Taft Missouri's electoral vote and put into office the first Republican Governor The State has had for thirty odd years. The St. Louis Republic recently pub- lished a cartoon entitled "Frazziel," in which the Republican City Committee was receiving the Negro voters with open arms on election day, but at the ratification November 16 the Negro was pictured sitting in the gallery watching the white Republicans celebrate in a fitt- ner manner. Prior to the banquet the following news item was published by a St. Louis daily: "More than 2,100 Republicans have accepted invitations to attend the big banquet at the Coliseum Saturday night in celebration of the Republican victory in Missouri, at which Herbert S. Hadley, Governor-elect, is to be the guest of honor and principal speaker. This will be the biggest political banquet ever held in St. Louis and plates will be laid for 2,300 men. Women cannot attend the banquet, but many will occupy the boxes and hear the speaking. "There will be no special banquet for Negro Republicans, to follow the big Republican banquet at the Coliseum, November 14, in which Republicans from all parts of the State have been invited to participate. Tickets of admission to the Coliseum, to listen to addresses, have been issued to Negro Republicans, and many have announced their intention to attend. This statement was given out last night after a meeting of a large number of Negro Republican leaders at the colored Y. M. C. A. rooms, 2702 Lawton avenue, where the matter was discussed fully, after a conference-with Chairman Jephta D. Howe of the City Central Committee. "It was the unanimous sentiment of the meeting of the Negro leaders that the offer of the committee to provide a special banquet for colored Republicans was unnecessary and undesirable, and that the suggestion for such an arrangement had not come from them." It cannot be denied that there are many Negroes in St. Louis who believe that a number of Negro voters should have been at least invited to the banquet. Whether they accepted the invitation would have been a different matter. They charge that Chairman of the City Central Committee Jeptha D. Howe who had never been any too friendly to the Negro voters, with bringing about the unpleasant situation. Regard Incident on a Snub. In St. Louis and throughout Missouri Negroes feel proud over Missouri going Republican, and assert that it was their united vote which brought about the result. When the official count shows that Jacob F. Gmelich, Republican, was elected Lieut. Governor by two votes, and that William H. Taft carried Missouri by 1,026 votes, it is hard to deny that the forty-old thousand Negro votes determined the election result in Missouri. Many Negroes in St. Louis contend that in a great celebration as was held November 14 both white and colored Republicans should have forgotten about race prejudice and made the affair one of special political significance. On the other hand, there are others who are not inclined to regard the incident seriously. A Local Paper Regarding the Affair. In commenting on the banquet the St. Louis Advance recently said: "We regret that a question that some of our enemies may interpret into a social equality question has arisen about colored Republicans not being invited to the banquet of 'Republicans Saturday evening.' "We absolutely never seek an invitation or become eager to be invited to any banquet whether given by a person or a party, and we think it very had taste to complain of being smubbed. Every man, whose manhood has not been utterly debased, feels within himself that he is as good as any other man, notwithstanding the difference in color or circumstances. The Negro in the jungles of Africa holds his head as straight toward the sky as the Teuton from the thrones of Germany. This is the way God created mankind.

N, Peterson Boyd, and was large: ly attended. The Rev. Mr. Royd gaver a most thoughtful talk on. “Time: for Human Labor." and emphasized his theme, “A, time to break down and a time to build up.” His digcaurse was am instructive une and the subject of mach favorable coniment from shose seaeaik: ROOSEVELT ON THE NEGRO Continued from Pagel = * SNe ee ee a | useful citizen, 10 so, behave as to wit | the respect of his white neighbor. Th | performance of duty should be the tes ‘applied 10 white man and colored. mar | alike, and cach individual should, b judged not by the fact of his color, bu by the way in which he meets these de | mands of duty; and the first duty: whict jcach colored man owes buth to himsel jand his race is to work for the better | ment both of himself and his race; for its educational, but aboye all, for its. in: |dustrial'and moral betterment. It is. tc the great interest of the white people no less than of the colored people that al possible educational facilities should be ‘given the colored people; and it is of even greater interest: to both racts that the colored man should steadily strive for his own industrial and moral uplift. ‘Teach by Example “To teach by preaching is never as good as to teach by example, No words ef advice and_ encouragement on my part ean count in any way compared to what has actually been done by those colored men who have shown by their down success in life how a colored man can raise high his standard of good citi- zenship. It is the colored man himseli and no outsider who can do most for the colored race. T want to call your attention and the attention of all who care to listen to me to the noteworthy record of the town of Mound Bayou in Mississippi, I stopped at Mound Bayou a yearago while going through Missis- sippi. ‘Twenty years ago the place was all wilderness.” Now a° thriving and prosperous town has been built. with a thriving and prosperous country round about : and’ every man in the town, every man in the country rund about, is 2 calored man. In the Planters’ Journal ni Memphis, Tenn., a white man’s pa- per, there is a description in an iseue of 1 couple of years agy of Mound Bayou under the hicading of “The Most Re- markable Town in the South.” This paper describes how the town has “been founded, populated, and managed purely hy men af the Negro race. Tt is a Rriving. growing town of 2,000 people. Thére ix not a saloon nor a vicious re: ort of any kind in the town. There are ‘ome 6,000 people on ‘the tract of land of which the town ig the center, ‘This rat includes about forty square miles, Il of it owned by the colored people hemselves, Ten thousand acres of land re ina high state of cultivation. ‘There s a big cotton crop, and. in addition the colony produces four-fifths of the corn ind hay it needs, with many hundreds of arses, mules, cattle and hogs. In the own itself there are six churches and hree schools, ‘There is a bank with a apital stock of $10,000, which does a hriving husiness. The assessed value {the land _in the town itself is nearly 25,00" There ware sawmills, _ gins, lacksmith shops. bakeries: all without ‘white inhabitant in the neighborhood. "he people are prosperous and singu- irly law-abiding. Their. white neigh- ors have treated them well — The aunty sheriff employs a colored man to ct in the town in the eapaeity of dep. ty sheriff: and the railway and express smpany have a colored man in their five since the depot was established in ye town: while the bard of super- jsors appoint colored road «verscers he town has forty-four mereantiie and usiness houses; big and. little, af all inds. which “do an aggregate annual nsineas af about six hundred thousand lars.

On this day of national Thanksgiving we as Negro citizens have great reason to be thankful. In reverent review over our progress and blessings during the last twelve-month we again find the balance heavily on our side. Untoward incidents neither few nor insignificant have befallen us during the past year, but they have strengthened us and they have rallied to our cause a host of firm and mighty friends. These encouragements and our achievements far excel both in numbers, and importance our losses and discouragements. No honest and informed man can hesitate upon our advance in all directions. For the promise of continued progress and protection under Taft; for the firm and friendly rule of President Roosevelt; for the favorable elections in all the States where the Negro was an issue; for our political friends in State and nation who have insisted upon justice and equality; for our increasing philanthropic friends who are assisting in our great uplift; for our literary friends who through press and magazine have nobly plead our se, and, finally, for our heroic leader toiling with others to our ever-clearer triumph, for all these we should be truly and deeply thankful. In the abundant evidence of our progress, in our reduction of illiteracy to nearly 40 per cent. in our increase of taxable property to more than $500,000,000, in our 200 large educational institutions, in our 30,000 self-sacrificing teachers, in our 16,000 devoted clergymen, in our 1,700 physicians and surgeons, in our 1,000 lawyers and 400 journalists and literary people. For all these we should rejoice and return due thanks. For the awakening sense of right and justice among the American people, for our progress in the past and our promise for the future, for the bountiful blessings of Providence, let us be thankful. THE TROUBLES OF TENNESSEE. In a heavy-leaded, two-column article, the Nashville Globe strongly voices the general demand of Tennessee's Negroes for industrial education. The Globe loudly complains that Negroes of Tennessee, asking nothing, get nothing of the annual Federal appropriation of thousands of dollars for industrial education in Tennessee; that the Negroes of Tennessee are being outstripped in industrial and commercial life by the industrially trained Negroes of other Southern States and that the vast resources of Tennessee soil lie undeveloped because of the inability of her sons to develop those resources. Gratified at the good sense of Tennessee's Negroes in awakening to a full sense of their crying need, they have simply awoke to the demand of the times. Incidentally we should like to say, that we believe the Negroes of Tennessee will be given their quota of the school funds if they will properly present their case to the Federal authorities. But the Negroes of Tennessee can not wholly depend on Federal appropriations or State funds or both. They will have to supplement these funds as do the Negroes in the other Southern States. The Globe editor seems to be in error, however, in assuming that the Negroes of these States are getting sufficient industrial education. To say nothing of the Negro's backward industry in the North, in no State in the South is the situation being met for industrial education. Industrial education no longer needs defense against the purblind opponents of its great exponent. Every section and every State and every class of the white race is clamoring for industrial training. The Negro race; especially, if it hopes to compete in the future, must by firm hold now upon the industrial arts and the soil. Competition in the industrial and commercial world is growing keener young year. Less and less is the question of color being asked. More and more is the demand for brains, fitness and ability to do the work of the world. We urge our young men everywhere to get training in industry and in the sciences. To be prepared for an emergency is to have the emergency arise. Young man, prepare now for the emergency of the future. WHAT YOUR COMMUNITY NEEDS POWER OF THE PRESS. The Negro should be especially thankful at this time for the power of the press in his behalf. Not only has the Negro kept during the last year his old press friends but he has found many new ones who have made the cause of justice and fairness to the Negro their cause. An ever-broadening influence, patriotic and powerful they have done the Negro and the nation good. Whatever of brighter outlook, increased respect and greater progress the Negro now enjoys must be attributed in large measure to the general firm and Christian tone of the American press. Whatever of better understanding and relations between the races the American press too must be given much credit for. The press has recognized that any encouragement given to Negro uplift and industry, any destruction of caste, any decrease of race prejudice and friction, any promotion of civil rights and political equality for the Negro, must redound in the final analysis to a surer future democracy in the Republic. To this task of Negro uplift and justice, it almost seems, that the press has deliberately and zealously set itself about. As new found friends to the race we have in mind such splendid publications as The American Magazine, with its masterful discussion of the "Color Line," by Ray Stannard Baker. As old friends tried and true we have in mind such organs as the New York "Independent," the "Outlook," "Leslie's Weekly" and the "Congregationalist"; such great dailies as the New York "Evening Post," New York "Tribune," Boston "Transcript," The "Springfield Republican," the Louisville "Courier-Journal" and a host of others. In the midst of such firm and fighting friends what Negro can falter? Standing straight, growing in strength and increasing in number, these moulders of public opinion, who should despair of the future? The growing fairness of the American press and the aggressive squareness of its leading members are indeed causes for Negro thankfulness. THE MOUND BAYOU TEST. At Mound Bayou, Mississippi, every man living in the voting precinct is a Negro. Exactly one hundred and one persons cast their ballot on election day. Of these, one hundred voted for Mr. Taft and one voted for Mr. Bryan. This, we believe, is a fair sample of how the colored people cast their ballot throughout the country. This seems to be the only case when one can actually get the facts, for the reason that all the voters of Mound Bayou are known to be Negroes. NEGROES NEED POSITIONS. Prior to the nominating conventions the Negroes of Now York complained that Governor Hughes in his appointment of hundreds of officials had given the Negro not a single position. As we said then, we say now, the complaint in part was justified. But in equal measure the Negro must find fault with himself. Knowing the great pressure for positions that was put upon the Governor, we believe that the Negroes of this State did not make proper representations. However, in the next two years Governor Hughes must make a large number of minor appointments. There are many representative and efficient Negroes in this State—whom the Governor should consider in these appointments. It is only right and proper that Negroes should be recognized in New York as in other States and in the nation, in the awarding of public positions. Fairness to that large and faithful black Republican electorate demands it. The promotion of respect for the Negro in this State requires it and the Negro's economic development needs it. But the furious contempt of the Governor for political bosses makes its apparent that no ward-heeler need apply. Further, even worthy applicants may expect scant consideration if they apply through the bosses. The Negroes of standing and influence must now get together behind and stay behind worthy and able colored men. The Governor, we are sure, will be amenable to such influence. The Negroes of New York have everywhere been complimented, and with good reason, for their superior political wisdom. In this need and opportunity, let them demonstrate. To give these office-holding and office-seeking parasites power in the South is to continue the disgraceful career of the Republican party in the South; is to alienate throughout the nation the constant and vital Negro element from that party. To take office and consideration from the Lily-whites is to take away their life, for it is to take away the means whereby they live. Announcing in Georgia their bold intentions, these narrow and foggy bourbons must be taught the prime principles of Republicanism. The "place" of the Negro in the Republican party is that of an equal; their place in the Republican party must either be by the side of the faithful Negro or just outside the door. Liberty for all, equal citizenship for the Negro, progress and prosperity, are the cornerstones of the party of Lincoln. Take from it the cornerstones and the structure will fall. Confident of Taft's far-seeing statesmanship and his friendship for the Negro, we supported him with all our might. A cancer gnawing at the very vitals of the Republican party, Taft must cut out the Lily-white movement. We, too, believe he will. NIGHT SCHOOL ADVANTAGES. NIGHT SCHOOL ADVANTAGES. Throughout the country night schools for all kinds of purposes and all kinds of education have been established. There is scarcely any subject relating to human progress in which one cannot now find opportunities for instruction in the night schools. Especially is this true in our Northern and Western cities. The Negro race ought to take advantage of these night schools, not only in the North, but they should be established throughout the South. Many of our youths, who attend the regular day schools, can attend these night schools, but, as a rule, however, our people do not take advantage of them. In New York City we find the night schools crowded with Russian Jews and other foreigners, who have recently come into America, but comparatively few Negroes who need this education just as badly and more than any other people. Under all the comforts and advantages which New York City offers her regular day students our men and women may attend these free evening classes under the very best instructors and in a very few years complete their early education unfinished because of poor parents or the South's disadvantages. It will behoove every such young man and woman to prepare for their future, to take advantage of this golden opportunity. THE RULE OF THE CONGO. The Congo Free State is no longer, even nominally, an independent state. With its passing Africa is completely divided among the European nations. With the just announced transfer of this 900,000 square miles of rich Central African territory with its 30,000,000 natives from the private control of King Leopold of Belgium the Congo has become a Belgian colony under the direct control of her parliament. Miserable and cruel has been the lot of these black millions for thirty years under their bloody taskmaster, Leopold. Through the change brought about by the Belgian radicals, it is confidently expected that their lot will improve, that their government will be humane and progressive. On the assumption of control by Belgium, her Prime Minister, Schollaert, and her Minister of Justice, Renkin, made the following declarations and explanations: Belgium now has the same rights in the Congo that Great Britain, Germany and France have in their African territories; that the land to be conceded is not more than one-fifth of the whole; that all unoccupied land has been declared government property, but that the natives have not been deprived of their land holdings or of the right to dispose of the produce freely; that there is and will be no forced labor for any individual or concessionary company and that as soon as possible taxes will be collected in money and not in labor or produce and that further, merchants of all nationalities may enter and operate in the Congo on an equal footing with Belgians. Further, the ministers declare that of the fund of $10,000,000 which Belgium is to appropriate for colonial purposes, the first of the 15-year installments, $500,000, will be used for a colonial school, $100,000 for Belgian missions, and $100,000 will be used for hygienic measures, especially against the sleeping sickness. Thus Belgium in return for this bonanza of rubber, mineral and territorial wealth promises justice and development for the Congoest. Even so, Belgium may in some measure stone for the blighting and greedy rule of Leopold. But the entire world will watch Belgium's fulfillment of her promises. THANKSGIVING Te who have drank of a Te who have joyed in a HISTORICAL APARTHECHOES. The widely-published bravery of the Brooklyn colored girl in stopping the runaway team and thereby saving the lives of several people, causes us to amend the statement of Booker T. Washington: "Soul sunshine" and bravery "draw no color line." The attitude of the office-seeking Lily-Whites and the office-holding franchisors of the Negro reminds us very much of the rich-and silly old bachelor who thought he could prevent the dawn of day by stopping the rooster's crowing. When the shackles of physical slavery were unloosed, the Negro's sun arose. With the Negroes of Jacksonville constructing a magnificent five-story $100,000 Masonic temple; the Negroes of New Orleans' building a seven-story Pythian temple; the Negroes of Mississippi with a dozen and the Negroes of Virginia with four banks; with New York Negroes having neither banks nor temples, by what sort of logic do you make New York the greatest State in the Union? "If the Democratic party and the contingencies demand it, I would again become a candidate," the Peerless One has just said. We are forced to agree with our Southern contemporary who objects to our recent statement that it were better for Democracy that a millstone rather than Bryan be tied about its neck: "It would be just the same." The Euphremia Sodality (Negro) of Beattitude, Oregon, planning to locate a Negro in the South, has written to the State Land Board asking for large grants of land in Maureth, Harney, Lake Crook and Grant counties, but declares that it "does not look for charity." We will not quarrel with the Sodality about the definition of charity, but we just want to say that the Negro race is superior in the art of mimicry. The Charleston News and Courier tearfully asks George M. O. Brabovich why he should settle his 29,000 Swiss families on the 600,000 acres of Washington State land and reject the "superior advantages" of South Carolina? We respectfully refer the Courier to the most ignorant Negro on the streets of Charleston. "Tillman has just come back from them foreign countries, Boss." Among the other "blunders" which Crawford Jackson, General Secretary of the Juvenile Protective Association, might have named in Georgia's child legislation in Charities," would be that Georgia has made no provision for the wayward and needy children of the Negro race, which at present has a majority, of the State's population. The Providence "Advance" after delivering, in its last issue, graceful tribute to the wisdom and greatness of Dr. Booker T. Washington, and after declaring his recent meeting there to have brought the largest and most representative gathering of Negroes together in the history of Providence, solemn states that New England Negroes have misrepresented the political and race views of Dr. Washington. That's information. Miss Mary Coleman, counsel for the suffragettes, arguing the case of Dr. Julia Seaton Sears, formerly a voter of Colorado, but who was not permitted to vote in New York at the recent election, concluded in these words: "Now if it (suffrage) is such a privilege I want it to be understood that it is going to be argued and insisted upon that the white woman as well as the Negro man must be guaranteed the protection of a right she has already acquired." The lady is right. These are the two sources of future unpleasantness about manhood rights in this Republic. The description of Brooklyn, Illinois, the new-found, successful Negro town of 2,000, free from immorality and crime, equips us much of Spoottess. Apparently the colored brother has got something up his sleeve in the art of government that he is going to spring on the wrold in the nick of time. The Negroes of Louisville, Kentucky, have opened up their own brand new theater with a seating capacity of 600. As the festive Skunkton Bowser would say to the white man talking of Negro business incapacity, "just kep on dreamin', Mr. White Man." We haven't seen any streets named after that rare but increasing specie, the Negro banker. But Mr. John Mitchell Jr., of Virginia, is member of the National Association of Bankers. Do you want to know the most populocal white politician among Negroes? Hon. Charles Nagel, Republican National Committeeman from Missouri The Soul of the Nations. We must learn that human nature is one. We must conquer our Angla-Saxon contempt for the belated races. Englishmen must no longer kick the Hindu aside as he would a dog. The Europeans in Hong-Kong and Amoy should learn to treat a Chinese merchant as they would any European gentleman, or in a few years they will be invited to withdraw from the foreign concessions. The nations may very, likely cease, because they must, to divide up the Turkish Empire, which has in past times been the seat of the world's best civilization, and will be again. The time will come when the Africander will treat the Zulu as he wishes to be treated himself, for Africa will belong to the Africans; and without war, under the insistent demand of righteousness; the yellow man in our land will not be denied citizenship, and the Jim Crow laws will be repealed. Why? Because to show contempt for other races will not always be safe, and because these races will prove their rights to be treated as full equals.—The Independent. THANKSGIVING Ye who have drunk of sorrow's measure; Ye who have joyed in plenty's treasury; Ye who have shared with him who needed; And should heart with glad words speeded; Ye who have driven to make our Nation stronger; Against the enemies who would have Foes from within her democratic breast; Foes from without, themselves by want distressed:— We can be thankful, that the flag we love Floats still our glorious capitol That God rules and the Government still "lives"— God rules and still His blessings to us gives. — Timothy Fortune. WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY LOST, STRAYED OR STOLEN—Three friends, Revs, Waldra, Carruthers and Editor Trotter; last heard of, were in the Democratic ranks shooting off hot air and yelling BRYAN! BRYAN!-Florida Sentinel. Some of the "lily whites" want to put us out of business. We assure them that there will be quite an "awakening in the morning" if any funny business is attempted—Savannah Tribune. The Associated Press dispatches from every corner of the State reported on election day a heavy Negro vote for Taft. The Negroes stick to Taft in spite of their anti-Taft meetings—Atlanta Independence. A great deal of talk was indulged in prior to the election, about the disaffection among the colored voters. There was much speculation to whether any considerable number of them would vote the Democratic ticket. It is pretty generally admitted now that very few deserted the Republican party on November 3 last—Yonkers Standard. The "lily white" Republicans at the South are learning that their colored brethren do not intend to tolerate their conduct. The manner in which the Negroes voted against them in the State has taught them a few lessons which it seemed they could not learn otherwise.—Nashville Clarion. President Roosevelt has answered the question concerning the religion of Mr. Taft, and we see that who were he asked to ask the question ought to be satisfied. The Republican party is not a denominational affair. Every man has a right to serve God in his own way.—Mobile Weekly Press. Secretary Taft will enter upon his duty as President next March. He will have an opportunity to do a great work in this country. He may undertake the proposition of restoring the laws of supply and demand, of redeeming from the clutches of monopolies those things which the people of the nation should have according to free competition. That he will in part succeed there can be no doubt, to what extent, we cannot say.—Omaha Enterprise. The decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, in the case of Berea College against the State of Kentucky, was so near what it was expected to be that it occasioned no surprise. Who ever knew that body of artful doorkers to meet squarely any issue in which the Negro was concerned? Not since the infamous decision of Justice Taney has it been possible to present before them a case involving Negro rights which they did not side-step by remanding, pleading no jurisdiction, improperly presented or some other method better known to those versed in law than the writer.—Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate. The black phalanx rallied to the standard throughout the country and on this occasion, as in the past, proved themselves loyal to the great party of progress and prosperity. Locally there is no question but that the splendid organization preventing the Democrats from getting almost a clean sweep on the county ticket, and reduced Bryan's plurality to less than 100 votes. So all along the line the colored voter in the campaign of 1908 has rung true—Montana Plaindaler. Just as the Republicans predicted, the election of Taft has already started a wave of prosperity over the country. Thousands of men have gone to work who were unemployed. The farmers are now enjoying a pleasant look and the merchants have never felt better. In a few months the result is desirable. We may witness the most prosperous of years in the history of the American people—Owensboro (Ky.) Reporter. Justice Harlan will be in Frankfort, the guest of Gov. Willson on Thanksgiving Day, and it would not be out of place for a committee of Negroes to call upon this great and grand man, who upon all questions where the race was involved has always administered justice, where such decisions were in our favor or against us. We say, that is it befitting for us to call and express our gratitude to our great benefactor, the Hon. John M. Harlan—Lexington (Ky.) Standard. The colored man did not desert the party that he naturally belongs to, for like the labor vote in the largest districts of the cities where there are many colored voters there we find an increased Republican vote. At least their vote was the balancing power in two Iowa Congressional districts, and in the States of Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Kansas and Illinois their vote alone saved the Republican party from defeat and made it possible for Mr. Taft to be our next president. The Colored man has always been relied upon in time of need and under all circumstances have proven themselves true to their friends, and loyal to their country. They have been the savior of our country both in war and political battle. Thirdly, Mr. Taft's fine record, true judicial manhood and sterling qualities were stronger than the people had given him credit. We can all rejoice Now that the election is over, and the votes counted, those who poined the Democrats to defeat Taft are the folly of their doings. They cut off their hoses to spite their faces. Taft wint easily a sweeping victory, and Foraker succeeds a crushing defeat; by their foolishness the Democrats carry Ohio and Indiana to elect a legislative body to represent the Senate Foraker, whom they sought to honor, is retired to private life—American Citizen, Atlanta, Ga. Our worthy contemporary is quite mistaken about Ohio and Indiana. In neither State did any considerable number of our people "bolt," in fact the number was infinitesimal. The Democratic governors were elected in both States because of the temperance agitation. Republicans will vote for a Democratic governor who favors temperance, Democrats will vote for a Republican who although they vote for temperance where no official is involved: Ohio, moreover, is to have a Republican Senator—Cleveland Journal. Boston Header Complain To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: As a new subscriber to your strong and splendid paper let me congratulate you, because in the past there has been no worthy local Negro paper. I have seldom read any colored paper. I cannot understand how any set of intelligent colored people can have their intelligence insulted week after week by the reading and the support of such a publication as that which William M. Trotter puts out each week. The same old pictures that have been appearing every week for the last six months take up the greater part of each issue. There are from a dozen to two dozen pictures which seem to be kept standing continually in the publication. Should the editors work together to tire at the faces of the individuals. The pictures always include, of course, the editor himself. In the next place, judging, for instance, by the last copy of the paper which I have seen, I do not understand why people will have their intelligence insulted or their ignorance presumed upon as this editor does week after week. Practically every statement made regarding the result of the last election is false from beginning to end; and the editor seems to take for granted that these falsehoods will be believed by his readers. This is the surprising part of the situation. I note, however, with a good deal of interest, that there is a growing intelligence and independence throughout New England and that the majority of people have their eyes open and are tired of the old slush which has been dealt out to them week after week in the same old man- "Roxbury Reader." Boston, Mass., November 15, 1908. Tennessee Triumph Booker T. Washington wants to double the endowment of Tuskegee. He appeals to the results of the endeavors (here to support his plea). He reports calls for five times as many trained colored men and women as the school is able to turn out. His annual report to the trustees tells of an enrollment of over 1,600 students, of 160 instructors and helpers, of a budget prepared in advance and followed as closely as possible, of board for students figured down to less than 6 cents a meal. More suggestive yet, he indicates $41,834 as the amount in cash paid by the students for fees and maintenance, not counting labor. Under the theory of the ancient saying, "A tree is known by it fruits," the Washington experiment has been a success. It is an interesting study to observe the views of writers on the Negro question as one book after another comes, from the publishers in rather close succession nowadays. Whatever else is discussed, one is sure to find Tuskegee praised or criticized. The balance leans far toward the Alabama school. The fact that it must be reckoned with in any intelligent examination of the moral' and industrial condition of the Negro people is in itself the best tribute to what Washington has accomplished. The surtest augury of success for Tuskegee is that it attempts to do for the Negro what the dominant educational thought everywhere demands for the white man. Technical and industrial training is popular. The states are furnishing it through their universities and special schools. The cities are meeting the demand in their technical high and manual training schools. The polytechnic institute here and there is drawing the best types of young men and women. Whether for white man or black, therefore, this form of education deserves every encouragement. The white people will be abundantly cared for, there is no doubt of that. Nor should there be any doubt of the continued and increasing support to be given to such an institution as that which Booker Washington has built up at Tuskegee. Editorial: Chicago Daily Tribune. LYNCHING AND LYNCHING. LYNCHING AND LYNCHING Because a Southern man of influence has been lynched by Southern peasants, a good deal of formal indignation has been expressed. So long as lynchings were confined to burning "niggers" there were little profaned indignation, although an occasional indication of regret might be detected if you listened gently or read close. But now that the lynching habit has pierced the mass of Negroes and reached up to white men—a perfectly natural development—the militia is called out and "law and order" is to be preserved at every cost. a fault. But it ran counter to habits. Although those work-a-day folks were habituated to interference with their use of the soil, fishing had always been free. So they rose in resistance. But whom could they resist? and how? Habit again answered the question. Captain Rankin was the offender in the concrete; therefore resist Capt. Rankin. Lynching was the approver. Method made familiar in reforming the morality; therefore Captain Rankin. Accordingly when Rankin came down into negotiation to arrange for enforcing his land monopoly laws, those illegal work-a-day people kidnapped him from his bed at the tavern, and after hanging him from the limb of a convenient tree, filled his body with bullets—just as if he had been a mere black "miger."—The Public (Oklahoma). WEEKLY HISTORY LESSON No. 2. ETHNOPLA'S NEW CIVILIZATION "Walterhack Benaconton, African Diaspora" - Gwenn. "4 Tropical Regency" - Legend. Here is the conclusion drawn by a competent German critic nearly a hundred years ago from the discoveries made by Gau, Champollion and others: "In Nubia and Ethiopia, stupendous, numerous and prime monuments proclaim so loudly a civilization, contemporary to, aye, earlier than that of Egypt, that it may be conjectured with the 'greatest confidence that the arts, sciences and religion descended from Nubia to the lower, country of Misraim; that civilization descended the Nile, built Memphis and finally something later, wrested by colonization the Delta from the sea." (Heeren Historical Researches, 'African Nations.) "The monuments," though eloquent, are not the only grounds upon which this conclusion has been reached. The fame of the Ethiopians was widespread in ancient history. Herodotus describes them as the 'tallest, the most beautiful and long lived of the human race and before Herodotus, Homer in even more flattering language described them as 'the most just of men; the favorites of the gods." The annals of all the great early nations of Asia minor are full of them. The Mosaic records allude to them frequently; but while they are described as the most powerful, the most just and the most beautiful of the human race, they are constantly spoken of as black and there seems to be no other conclusion to be drawn than that at that remote period of history the leading race of the Western World was a black race. "When we reflect that this black race flourished within the very latitude of Africa which European nations are now engaged in opening to modern civilization, a great interest is added to the study of their possible descendants. "The ancient civilization of Egypt spread as we know... from South to North and without venturing to accept or to reject the assumption of some learned writers that it came originally by way of the Arabian gulf from India, there is seemingly no doubt that the earliest center of civilization in Africa was the country watered by the upper Nile, which was known by the name of Ethiopia to the ancients and which fixed the limits of habitation of the higher races of the Soudan. "Monuments of which a more or less consecutive chain can be traced from Nubia to the Straits of Babel Mandeb, point to the existence in this territory at a period of great antiquity, of a people possessing many of the arts of a relatively high civilization. The principal state of this Ethiopian country bore the well known name of Meroe. It occupied the territory watered by the Nile and its tributaries, of which the most northerly point is marked by the meeting of the Atbara and the Nile. The capital of Meroe was a city of the same name, which stood a little below the present Shendy, under 17 degrees N. latitude and in $32\%$ degrees E. longitude. That is to say, Meroe stood like ghama on the extreme edge of the summer rains. The limits of the state of Meroe extended probably at one time to the north of 17 degrees and to the south of 10 degrees. These parallels may, however, be taken as indicating its permanent limits; "This is not the place, nor am I competent to discuss the arguments which form the ground of belief that the civilization of Meroe preceded that Egypt. It is enough to say very briefly that on the site of the city of Meroe there exist remains of temples and pyramids from which archeologists have drawn the conclusion that the pyramid was a form of architecture native to Meroe and may afterwards brought to perfection in Egypt. "It is evident from the decoration of the temples that they were dedicated to the worship of Ammon. It is believed that the remains of the temple of the most famous oracle of Jupiter Ammon are to be found in ruins at about eight hours' journey to the northeast of Shendy. This temple of the oracle was known to exist within a few hours' journey of Meroe and the priestly traditions of Ethiopia and Egypt assert that the worship of Ammon and Osiris with its feasts and processions was first settled at the metropolis of Meroe. "The carvings of the monuments of Meroe show a people ir possession of the arts and luxuries of civilizations and having some knowledge of science. On the base of one of the monuments a zodiac has been found and in the more northerly monuments of Nubia which portray the conquest of Meroe by Ramesses the Great of Egypt at a much later date, the conquered nation is shown as being not only rich, civilized and important, but also as possessing tributary States, presumably in Central Africa whence came giraffes and other Central African produce. We learn from the same monuments that the women of Meroe were frequently armed and appeared to live on equal terms with men. They are constantly portrayed as queens. The empire of Meroe had its settled constitution and its laws. "This remarkable spot is regarded by the ancients as the 'cradle of the arts and sciences', where hieroglyphic writing was discovered and where temples and pyramids had already sprung up while Egypt still remained ignorant of their existence." At Ripman Catholic Congress—Funk Jubilee Siligers in Chicago—Other Interesting News CAMAGO, November 24.—"There will be no race question when the white man knocks the Golden Rule and the black man has learned to keep the ten commandments." The above utterance was the keynote to a remarkably strong address delivered by Father Burke, the eminent Catholic priest of New York, at the Roman Catholic Congress held in this city. This sentiment received the most prolonged applause of any sentiment uttered during the week's proceedings of the great Congress. Prominent Catholics from all parts of the country and Canada were present, and when the race question came up for discussion the vast assemblage rose to the occasion with a great heartedness that was wonderful to see and quite overwhelming in its influence. There was no half heartedness, no evasions, no compromising, and no condemnation of childish and sympathetic earnestness that was altogether unusual. There was no difference of opinion as to the assertion that the American people had not done their full duty toward the Negro people of America. It was in in no patronizing spirit that Father Burke asked and insisted that there must be no such thing as failure in their efforts to give the Negro race the same rights of citizenship as other races receive. Among other things, the Negro race has a whole race go down to destruction without being given the opportunity of receiving the purest and highest form of Christian education. In behalf of his great church Father Burke insisted that his church is the only one that can bring unity and order and good citizenship out of the present chaos. He regards the present method of depriving Negro men of their citizenship rights as monstrously unchristian and insists that his great church address itself to this form of evil as vigorously as it addresses itself to other forms of injustice. It is reassuring that the great world-power of the Catholic church has taken such a firm and heroic position on the question of the citizenship equality and social upift of the Negro. The Catholic church is a great power in the social and political interests of the world. The famous male quartette of the Fisk Jubilee Singers sang in Chicago on last Sunday night and no singers have ever been accorded a more appreciative and cordial greeting in the City of Chicago. The occasion was a meeting held in honor of Dr. N. D. Hillis of New York, formerly of this city. The meeting was held in the beautiful orchestra hall and long before the hour for the opening of the services thousands of people were massed before the doors chanelling for admission, so eager was the desire to hear these sweet singers from the South. It was certainly an interesting and inspiring occasion. Every inch of space in this vast auditorium was filled and the soulful melodies seemed to stir every heart. In spite of the religious character of the occasion, at the close of each number the vast audience broke out in rapturous applause. It was a splendid tribute to deserved merit. The Rev. Mr. Wallace, a young Episcopal clergyman, recently from Boston, Mass., is in Chicago visiting his parents. Mr. Wallace is preparing to enter the South in the interest of the Episcopal church. He leaves for Chattanooga, Tenn., within a few days where he expects to bild a church. Mr. Wallace is not only zealous to establish a church but also through the ministrations of his church to help the community in the solution of its civic, social and economic problems. It is reassuring to see young men of this type willing to face the difficult problems of the day where they are most needed, rather than to seek the easier and more attractive field that an already established work might offer. CHURCH PAIR IN BOSTON Plumb Week Big Success—Plymouth Loud a Hand Club Celebrates. Land a Hand Club Celebrates Boston, November 1. The first week of the November fair at Columbus Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church was of uninterrupted success. It has been attended by enormous crowds every night and the result of the enterprise will without doubt be singularly gratifying to the members and friends of the church. Too much praise cannot be given to the women and men who have devoted so much time to the promotion of the effort, and Rev. George L. White, the pastor, who assisted faithfully in the burden of detailing the undertaking. The vestry of the church is beautifully decorated. Booth in charge of representatives of the various church clubs encircle the rooms. The booths contain various artworks. Barbara George L. White chairman; Blackwell Class, fortune telling and confectionary. Miss Mahel Banks, chairman; Peck Club, Mr. J.

The fair will be continued until December 4. There will be a musical and literary program each evening. Regular dinners will be served from 5:20 until 4. The officers of the fair are M. C. Robinson, chaunders; M. M. C. Falken, secretary; Mrs. A. Green, assistant secretary, and Mr. Arena Science treasurer. Dr. Horace G. Mackerrow was the speaker at St. Mark's Union last Sunday afternoon. He was greeted by a throng of interested listeners. His subject was "Concentration, the Key to Success," and the audience was treated to a rich discussion on the method of attaining success. The speaker said in substance that the lives of great men resemble the lives of successful men to emulate and that the desire to emulate the lives of successful men should burn within us and inspire the determination to make the most of oneself; that in this spirit the power of concentration would be propagated and its elements attention, application and persperance received the proper nourishment to strengthen their progress. The paper was discussed by Dr. J. B. Hall, Mrs. Oglesby, Mr. Seales, Dr. McDcurry, Mr. Kins and Tayler, Mr. Hamilton accompanied by Mr. Hamilton, contributed an excellent baritone solo, entitled "More Love to Thee." It was so pleasing that Mr. Hamilton was called upon to respond to an encore. President F. Gaston Hill presided. The second quarterly meeting for the conference year was held at Charles Street A. M. E. Church last Sunday week. In the morning Dr. J. P. Sampson, presiding elder, delivered a very interesting sermon. At the quarterly conference Tuesday night the fiscal reports showed the condition of the church to be laudably satisfactory. A water motor is being attached to the organ and it is hoped will increase the power of the instrument. Dr. T. Wellington Henderson preached last Sunday morning at his old charge Twenty-fifth Street, New York city, before a large crowd of admiring friends. This was the first visit of Dr. Henderson to the church since he left it over a year ago. Mr. Lucas B. Means and Miss Mary A. Walsh were united in marriage on November 18, by Dr. T. W. Henderson, at the parsonage. 102 Camden street. Rev. Dr. Henderson will spend Thanksgiving day with his daughter, Mrs. C. S. Willard, in Philadelphia. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Fitchett have moved from the west end to 94 Camden street. The Mite Missionary Society of Charles Street Church propose giving a parlor social at the parsonage on the evening of December 2. Hon. William H. Lewis, famous Harvard center and coach, Dr. John B. Hall, and Dr. H. W. Ross were among the thousands who went from Boston to the Yale-Harward game in New Haven. The Saturday Evening Bridge Whist Club had a fine time at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Samuel E. Courtney last Saturday night. Miss Mary Peyton of Washington, D.

WALTON ```markdown ``` IN FIRST-CLASS THEATRES RECENTLY the Pittsburg correspondent of THE AG sent the following item to the writer for publication: "Williams and Walker were here last week at the Duquesne Theatre the refusal of the managers to allow our people to sit on the first floor has caused a bitter feeling. Later in the week the management decided to allow members of the race to sit anywhere then desired." Few outside of the theatrical profession realize what an important year this is to the colored performer; few appreciate the winning and winning fight Williams and Walker are making throughout the country to secure recognition as Broadway stars. It is truly a "great fight" these two comedians are making, for not many know what obstacles they have encountered in their endeavor to play in first-class theatres; it can also be termed a "winning fight," for up to date they have succeeded in gaining their point and have demonstrated to their managers that they can draw crowds, composed of both white and colored theatre-goers, to the best houses as they did to the second-class theatres. In the meantime the heads of the theatrical world are watching with more than usual interest the invasion of first-class theatres in the United States by a colored company. Klaw and Erlanger, who are supposed to know everything pertaining to theatricals, have time and time again declared that no colored show could succeed in the leading theatres. Williams and Walker were personally advised to give up "such a dream" and remain in the second-class theatres. But Klaw and Erlanger are not always right. Year after year they select plays which are dire failures. So their opinion is not to be regarded as a final court of appeal. Less than a month ago the papers published a report that Klaw and Erlanger and the Shuberts had again reached the parting of the ways. One well-known theatrical man declared after the publication of the article that Shuberts and Klaw and Erlanger had agreed to disagree on account of Williams and Walker; that the Shuberts, who are managing the comedians, wanted Klaw and Erlanger to book their colored stars in the first-class Klaw and Erlanger houses in cities where the Shuberts had no theatres. Klaw and Erlanger, who by the way are practical business men and have never taken the negative side of the argument on account of any racial prejudice, are said to have refused the request made by the Shuberts—therefore a misunderstanding. The authenticity of this incident, however, is not vouched for. Aside from having trouble convincing managers that a colored company should play in first-class houses, Williams and Walker are further encountering the problem of how to please their colored following. As all colored shows are first organized because the managers believe they will draw a big colored clientele, a large amount of consideration is due the colored theatre-goers. The writer, too, thinks the question of accommodating the colored citizens is a serious one, as Williams and Walker would not be in the musical comedy business to-day, had they not received the loyal support of the members of their race. However, in a trying and important time as this, the colored people should also assist Williams and Walker by using judgment and not becoming unduly excited over the question of seating accommodations. Whether colored people should sit downstairs or in the first and second balconies should at this time be determined by custom. In Pittsburgh, the management should have from the beginning allowed the colored citizens to the first-class houses, as well as the second class, such is the rule in that city. It was not to the credit of the citizens of the "Smoky City" that they became unduly exercised over the incident. They could have wong their point without denouncing Williams and Walker, for it is seldom the conguisers know what is going on in the box office. On the other hand, when Williams and Walker played in Baltimore it was not expected that provisions would be made for the colored patrons on the first floor, as it is not a rule to seat them in that part of the house. The first balcony was turned over to them and there were no murmurs of discontent heard. One of the most convincing tests as to whether the public will go to a first-class theatre to see a colored show is being made at this writing in St. Louis, where Williams and Walker are booked for three weeks at the Garrick Theatre. Never before in that city's history has a colored company played at a Broadway-price house. The colored-comedians are great favorites in the "Mound City," and before opening the management "wondered if the white and colored citizens would pay more to see "Bandama Land" than last season. Reports to The Act show that the first week's business was a record-breaker, and indications point to "Bandanna Land" enjoying a highly profitable run. It must be remembered that St. Louis, while the Zorth largest city in the United States, is semi-Southern in sentiment, although it might be closed geographically as western central. It is also pleasing to note the daily papers have looked upon Williams and Walker's promotion to first-class theatres with favor. Their criticisms have been highly complimentary. The St. Louis Republic said in part of the show: "The attraction grows when compared to the usual musical offering. "It is musical and that is a considerable advantage. The composer had one ear for something above the plane of popularity, so called, and another for the jingle-loving public. He has succeeded in combining consequence with lightness and attained real distinction in doing it. He receives notable assistance from a group of singers whose selection must have been the result of a long sifting process which brought into a single company most of what is peculiarly competent in the field. And competency in this company makes demands that mere vocal ability cannot meet. Educated legs and feet are as essential as an educated voice, and there is a dash and enthusiasm which wins its compliments across the footlights. It is a splendid entertainment and has the usual merit of leaving a feeling of satisfaction, when it is all over—not the customary query as to what it was about and was it worth while." In Toledo recently the dramatic critic of The Daily Blade said: "W. E. B. DuBois, the colored educator, who, in his book, 'The Souls of Black Folk' makes such a powerful plea for the higher education of the Negro, makes the statement with all the emphasis of a zealot that the Afro-American has a message to deliver to the people of this country, and that the history of art in this nation will not be written until the Negro has made his contribution. "Perhaps, after all, 'DuBois is right. It is certain that some of the Negroes have made wonderful strides since emancipation less than half a century ago. There are Williams and Walker, for instance. This team of colored men began a week's stay at the Lyceum yesterday in 'Bandanna Land,' are as clever a pair of entertainers as comes to this theatre, and in some respects they have no rivals. Their 'show' is as well mounted as the best, their choruses are well drilled, the comedy is legitimate and clean, and when it comes to singing they are in a class by themselves. In both solo and ensemble work the Negroes sing as only Negroes can. There is a sweetness, a rhythm, a Southland melody that can only come from the throats of black men. It is distinctive—the contribution of the Negro to American vocal music." It is impossible to accomplish all things desired within a short space of time. Williams and Walker have been trying to play first-class theatres for many years. Only this year have they realized their ambition. The problem of amicably adjusting seating arrangements that would be regarded favorably by all cannot be solved the first season they demand and receive Broadway prices; but let Williams and Walker give their colored following as much consideration as possible, and the latter also seek to aid the former in their fight for just recognition, and we have no doubt that eventually matters will be adjusted satisfactorily to all concerned. Performers, send in your pd. at once for the big holiday number! WHERE THE BIG SHOWS ARE. BANDANNA LAND—Garrick Theatre. St. Louis, Mo. RED MOON—Avenue Theatre, Louisville, Ky. SMART SET—Akron, O.

Of course this may sound selfish but it is only natural that I would be more interested in that trans toward my profession. Which I have answered, interesting dealing with other subjects, but I can say that from a dramatic standpoint it was a bore to anyone. But now it is different, and I never think of leaving it unread. I find jottings of interest and I can gain information concerning the profession and its members. I think many people voice my sentiments. ADA QUEFION WALKER Mental Notes. The New Amsterdam Musical Association has formed a concert band to be it will give concerts on standard, opera it will give concerts on standard, operatic and popular music. A successful and rehearsal was given last Sunday. The Musical Aid Association recently gave a party at the residence of Mme Leonard. 52 West 99th street Dresses were won by Mrs. Swan and Brown for telling the best ghost stories. Mme Leonard will probably leave America in the spring for a tour of Europe. Miss Augusta I. Boon of Providence appeared at a recital in that city recently and was highly complimented by the press for her work at the piano. The recital was given at the Mathewson Street Church under the direction of the Sarah F. Doyle Club. Edward S. Wright of Boston recited a number of Duchar's works.

Carita Day and her dancing boys are billed for Hammersmith's next week. McKissick and Shadney are at the Academy of Music, Montreal, Canada. The Watermelon Trust is one of the big acts on the bill at Proctor's, Albany. The Brittons are enjoying success at the Alkambra—How's that? This week the Bradfords have journeyed to Brooklyn, where they are at the Fulton theater. The Bulkleys are making their way southward, being at the Victoria, Wheeling, W. Va. The Sunny South act, with Johnson and Wells, is in Detroit at the Temple Theatre. The Kemps are back in town and Bobby is smiling. They are at the Colonial. Slater, Perrin and Crosby are this week at the Family Theatre, Elmira, N. Y. The Buckeye Quartette, Walter Robinson, manager, is in Truroe, N. S., and doing nicely. The Arlington Four have returned from a successful tour and will remain in the East indefinitely. At Proctor's Newark, the Five Musical Spillers are the hit of the bill. The act has a nice spot-fifth. Route of Epps and Loretta: Lyceum, St. Joseph, Mo., November 22, 23; Krug, Omaha, Neb., 24 and 25; Des Moines, Ia., 26 and 28. Williams and Walker appeared at a special matinee Tuesday given by the St Louis Star in behalf of a Thansgiving fund for the poor children of that city. They were the hit of the ball. Although advertised the first part of the week to play Hammerstein's, Fiddler and Shelton are in Waterbury, Conn., this week. There was a mistake made in the booking. Tom Brown of Brown and Newarro, made a hasty visit to New York Mon- day. The act is playing near Manhattan. He has been away from Sixth avenue for several months. Alex. Rogers, who has been unable to work since "Bandanna Land" was in Toledo on account of hoarseness, has resumed his role of "Amos Simmons." During his illness his part was played by Chas H. Moore, J. F. Mores in turn played "Pop" Moore's part. Robert, T. Motts, proprietor of the Pekin Theatre, Chicago, writes that he is running vaudeville at present, but intends to put another stock company in the house as soon as the opportunity presents itself. However, the Pekin is now a full-fledged vaudeville house and is doing business with the United people. Deas and Deas write from Grenufecos, Cuba, that their act is a big hit. They are billed as the headliners and after their first performance took six cairn calls. They do twenty-two minutes singing four songs, dancing and also doing some work for which the theater goers are standing. Mrs. Deas has already made herself a favorite in Cuba, and goes big, particularly in "I Just Can't Keep My Eyes Off Of You." William Robinson, of Cooper and Robinson, has been released from custody and is out on bond. This means that the old partners have come together once more and instead of George Cooper and Christ Smith joining hands in vaudeville the old act of Cooper and Robinson will soon be seen. Sunday they will appear at the Olympic, and before the week is over they are slated to get booking from the United office. It is not likely that Robinson's case will ever be called for a retrial. Will the Frogs take notice and kindly raise a special fund to be used by the dramatic editor in explaining to the many readers throughout the country who seek information regarding what that body is doing and intends to do? Please remember there recently went into effect a treaty between America and England wherein a letter could be sent from one country to the other for two cents; but you yet are compelled to pay two cents and more if you want to send a letter to any point in the United States. And we have been sending so many letters in answer to queries of late. Walter C. Kelly, who at one time possessed a penchant for refusing to work on bills with colored acts, has either found the worn-out color line gag tiresome since he was so severely dealt with through the English press by Coleride Taylor, or has been told by the managers that he can work or quit as he saw fit. A couple of weeks ago he was honored by working on the same bill in Boston with two colored acts—Avery and Hart and the Musical Spillers. This week he is at the Orpheum, Brooklyn, and are the "Georgia Campers." As Kelly is now a headliner he has evidently tired of the obnoxious notoriety hertfordo gained and is leaving his friends—Tillman, Vardaman and Heflin—to shine alone in the limelight. Black and Jones, who are playing in Los Angeles, Cal, this week, are enthusiastic over the colored theatre being conducted in Oakland, Cal, under the management of "Fer Don," the medical expert. According to Black and Jones, what the theatre needs most is an efficient stage manager from New York or Chicago. Oakland is a city of 475,000, and the stock company plays tightly to crowded houses. The company is based by George Taylor and H. Mangan Prune, and are presenting "The Huntress Cree in Dixie." Others in the company are Nina Jenna, Pete Woods, late of the George Minstrel and Gudley Shaw. The theatre has been hosted for a number of months, and a new bill will be presented weekly. There is a probability of another theater being established in Prince. Blood, Fecal, Matter In making our company as strong as possible on our trans-continental tour to the court, the services of Andrew Pelchen and wife have been secured, and a most valuable acquisition they have proved to be. They are clever performers and of most amiable dispositions. Thanks to New Orleans. While in Hot Springs we were the guests of the AL G. Field's Greater Minstrels. Every member availed himself of the opportunity to accept the kind invitation from the popular owner and manager. Mine. Jones is seen at her best in the new show and a rare treat is in store for the music-loving public of all the large cities on our way back from California. George Day was the guest of his sister while in Memphis and of the unexpected pleasures he has a smile that won't come off. In the absence of Mrs. Homer Tutt, Miss Jennette Murphy took her lines in the first act with her usual grace and tact, thereby filling another important role in conjunction with her own. Our new route cards have just been issued, giving dates until San Francisco, Cal., 2-21-27, 1909. Mrs. Panline Cottrill will lea 'Havana, Cuba, for New York in three weeks. During our stay in Atlanta, Ga., the entire company was entertained by the admirers of the different members, also in Macon, Birmingham, Chattanooga, Paducca, Ky., and Pine Bluff. Our reception in Hot Springs was a royal one. One of the former members of our show, Mrs. Emma Barnard Whitney, wife of our principal comedian, Tutt Whitney, died in Philadelphia. She was a most lovable and respected woman and a gifted soprano and had a host of friends. Her demise cast a deep gloom over the entire company and her loss is deeply regretted. Mrs. Homer Tutt, wife of our straight Homer Tutt, left for Knoxville from Pine Bluff, Ark., last Tuesday night on account of failing health. She has the well wishes of the company and a two weeks' rest will undoubtedly allow her to rejoin the how. Since the show has been changed to a two-act musical comedy, praise unstimmed has been showered on us by the press and public and the management is all smiles in consequence. Mr. John Nolan, one of our owners, favored us with a visit while in Dixie Park, Memphis, Tenn., last week, extending his hospitality to the lady members as a token of good luck and bon voyage a box of assorted candies and the gentlemen four Havana filters each.

Taylor, the champion quarter-miler of the University of Pennsylvania and the Irish-American Athletic Club, lies at his home in this city critically ill of typhoid fever. The doctors hold out hopes of his recovery. Throughout his student career beginning nearly ten years ago at the Central High School, Taylor has been known as the "Colored Flyer," and the "Colored Wonder." For three years straight he won the American Intercollegiate quarter-mile championship, in 1907 lowering the record to 48 4-5 since the recent Olympic games in London in 2001, which still remains the record. At the much disputed quarter-mile event, Taylor lost owing to the bad position he drew and to the lack of physical condition. When piqued during the past fall at the remarks that he was "all in," Taylor resolved to race again this year for the last time to reintroduce the rumor. Taylor graduated from the veterinary department of the University last year and was intending soon to locate in his profession. JOHNSON GOES BIG IN ENGLAND. Jack Johnson, the big colored heavyweight, must really believe that Tommy Burns is an easy proposition, or he would never have chased the Cannuck the way he has in order to get on a match. The pair are to meet in Sydney, Australia, on December 1 for the heavyweight championship; and the burly black says he will surely put Burns off the pugilistic map, says the Washington Post. Johnson recently left England after an unsuccessful trip there to sign up with Burns for a battle. Upon the black's arrival and persistent challenges Burns was put in a rather unfavorable light before the sport-loving English public and made a quick getaway to the antinodes. Upon his arrival in Kangaroo Land Burns began to realize the fact that he could not dodge Johnson any longer and still pose as the heavyweight champion. Then a syndicate offered a $25,600 purse for a battle between the pair, and Burns committed, provided that he be given 200,000, win loss or draw. Johnson in his engagment, accepted and is now somewhere on the bewildling hillows headed for the battleground. Jack made a big hit in his tour of the English music hall, and well given a roaring reception upon his departure for Australia. Over in England everyone one believed Johnson is Tommy's master and expects the black to knock out Burns in short order. English magazines just received show that Jack Johnson was given a great sendoff. In commenting on the popularity of the colored man one magazine has the following to say: "Johnson had a remarkable sendoff last week when he left Charing Cross. By some mistake the time of his train's departure was announced as 1.20, whereas 2.20 was the proper hour. A vast crowd of sporting people assembled as early as 12,30, and when, a little later, Johnson appeared he was surrounded by several-hundred of well-meaning but too demonstrative friends, all anxious to get in a final word with the gigantic black. In and out of the station went Johnson, and in and out swayed the ever-increasing crowd, till at last the station superintendent suggested the departure platform as a place of refuge, and after escorting Johnson there had the barriers closed. "Before his departure Johnson gave away 500 autograph tickets. The owner of one bearing the number of the rounds fought in the great contest will be entitled to a five-pound note. The boxer was to have distributed them singly, but the crowd was so great that he threw them over his head and they were scrambled for."

F. Allen's administration, and this number does not include students who have received certificates from the half course, nor does it include those who have received industrial certificates. The success which Dr. Allen has made in placing the greatest graduates in the industrial and responsible positions is very gratifying.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Miss Carrie Stratford, "06" is doing similar work in Texas; Miss Jessica Stratford, pastor; St. Louis; and W. H.

Following a custom which Dr. Allen has established during his administration, the senior class will receive a practical lesson in social science during the Thanksgiving season by assortaining, through a house to house canvases of various subjects, to the department of Jefferson City. Their needs will be tabulated, and as far as possible, through collections and distribution, by the same students, the needy will be provided for in a substantial way.

May 15-4-9. nov.12-1m Respectfully Formed by Whites to Limit Negroes to Certain Sections of New York If the plans of several well-known Negro real estate men do not miscarry a test case will soon be made in the local courts to disapprove the idea some white property owners are seeking to convey that persons can be prevented from living in certain localities because of their racial identity. This step will probably be taken shortly owing to recent meetings held by white property owners, who have organized to prevent Negro invasion in certain parts of the city, particularly in the upper West Side. One of the striking features of these meetings has been that the objectors were composed in the main of Jews. Last Thursday evening a meeting was held in Colonial Hall on Columbus avenue and One Hundred and First street. According to press reports those present mapped out a campaign against the spread of what was termed "the Negro stronghold in Ninety-ninth street. A few evenings previous the "Property Owners' Improvement Association" was formed with a view to "protecting" the district from One Hundredth to One Hundred and Tenth street, Central Park West, to Broadway. At the meeting Adolph B. Rosenfeld was elected president. It is said the organizers have now drawn another imaginary boundary line which will extend as far South as Nitteenth street. Mrs. William W. Moers is vice president, and Louis Kean, Rudolph Hollacender, Edward Downey and David Froehlich are said to be actively engaged in the movement. Some of the organizers are engaged in business and have many Negro customers. The stand taken by them has caused many of the latter to assert that they would not patronize those tradesmen who were known to be interested in such a hopeless movement. All the Negro real estate men interviewed on the subject by a representative of THE ACK were inclined to regard the meetings held last week lightly. They were of the opinion that it would be utterly impossible to prevent Negroes from living in the district where the white property owners had drawn an imaginary line. Jack Nail of Nail and Parker was strongest in denouncing the actions of the whites on the upper West Side. "It is folly for these people to talk about limiting any race of people to any given section," he declared. "Restrictions against any nationality will not hold, as the laws' of the State do not permit such a thing. Furthermore, this has already been proven, and can be again if necessary." As soon as these white organizations make an attempt to keep Negroes out of the territory agreed upon the Negro real estate dealers intend to institute proceedings in the courts and test the validity of such a course. The consensus of opinion among many citizens is that the method resorted to by many white real estate owners to sell their property, such as the St. James Apartments, Central Park West, is becoming too frequent. Whenever a piece of property becomes a "drug on the market," the owners advertise for Negro tenants, although it is seldom they are sincere relative to the proposition. Utica Items.

Smith, D.D., a Confederate soldier of Atlanta, Ga., is being idolized on this his first visit North. At his lecture, the other evening on "The Battle of Fort Fisher," he was met by many of the Union veterans, and it was amazing to see them when they shook hands and chatted about old times. He is being entertained by the Wheeler Post. The Woman's State Federation has been in session here in this city for four days. The president is Mrs. Elmer Blair, with Mrs. William C. Story, vice-president. Yesterday was the closing session of the fourteenth annual convention of the New York State Federation of Women's Clubs. The president, Mrs. Blair, of Albany, held her audience spellbound during her address at the banquet. Mr. and Mrs. John H.

At night Rev. Streuthers preached to a good-sized congregation. All arrangements have been made for the two weeks' honor to be given at the church. The exercises of the Salvation Army seem to be growing more and more interesting each evening. Each minister in the city has one night. Last Monday night Rev. Robt. J. Streuthers preached. Rev. Tanner Reappointed at Brown Chapel-Glenwood. PIRRISUM, Nov. 18—Brown Chapel, A. M. E. Church, and the citizens generally are congratulating themselves that Rev. C. M. Tanner has been reappointed to serve another year as pastor of one of the most representative churches in this section. Upon his return from the conference the officers and members of the trustee board gave him a hearty and cordial welcome and reception. Rev. Tanner commenced a series of revival meetings almost immediately upon his return to the city. At the expiration of this year's service, Rev. Tanner will have served this church five years. The Mite Club of Brown Chapel is arranging to entertain the conference in July and will also entertain the annual conference in October, 1900. The Tanner Club, of which Mrs. Hattie Crumpleton, Mrs. R. Wilson and Mrs. Sallie Crable are president, secretary and treasurer respectively, has added to its usefulness by adopting a beneficiary feature. Members who pay their dues promptly will receive a small benefit from the treasury and at their death the same will be paid to their legal representatives. The Violet Club is arranging a Thanksgiving dinner. Mrs. Lizzie Collins Morris is president and Mrs. Adelia Harris is secretary. Mr. Wm. Harris, who recently organized two orchestras in the city, has been elected chorister of Brown Chapel choir. A game dinner will be given at Brown Chapel on December 17. The bill of fare will consist of bear, deer and all the game in season. Rev. Scott Wood, pastor in charge of St. Augustine's Episcopal Mission, is one of the most highly-educated and race-loving pastors in the city. Rev. Wood has started a settlement work here which in time will prove to be one of the greatest race-uplifting movements in the country. Rev. Hughes was found in his room unconscious from escaping gas. The news of his death was mentioned at Shiloh Baptist Church last Sunday. Mrs. Gertrude Washington, of 824 Douglas place, has been ill but is now better. The first quarterly meeting of Brown Chapel will be held November 29. Rev. D. S. Bentley, presiding elder, will preach at 10.45 a. m., and Dr. Wakefield, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion connection, will preach at 7.45 p. m. The sixty-ninth anniversary of Dr. Wakefield's church was celebrated with appropriate exercises, which were enjoyed by all. Dr. Wakefield was recently transferred to this city from Kentucky. Mrs. Lucy Dotson, of Gearing avenue, Beltzhooyev, is seriously ill. Little Minnie Miller, of Gearing avenue, is sick with scarlet fever. Trinity Congregational Church will have a grand Thanksgiving dinner. Rev. I. S. Lee is pastor.

It is safe to say this will be one of the grandest dinners given at any church in the city. The baby show at Warren M. E. Church, this month, promises to be an interesting contest. Twenty babies have entered the contest. Joseph Horne Company, H. A. Murphy Brothers and Pickering Company are the donors of the prizes. MUST ACCEPT NEGRO STUDENTS. Justice Perkins, of Michigan, Order Kate College to Admit Two Ne- crops GRAND RAPIDS, Mic. Nov. 17.-Judge Perkins in the Kent C. Circuit Tuesday issued a mandamus directing the Grand Rapids Veterinary College to accept the entrance applications of Felix D. Booker and Wesley D. McCoy, two Negro students. They were refused admission at the opening of school this year, the color line being drawn against them, although they had completed one year of the course at the college. Judge Perkins held that the college being a quasi public institution, and as such receiving certain benefits and privileges from the State, had no right to discriminate among citizens. No scandal nor unseemly conduct had marked the college life of the young colored men, who have been good students and not unpopular with the large body of their fellows. Applying themselves diligently to their profession of veterinary surgery, they gave the college authorities no trouble or occasion for their radical, not to say, cruel action. But because it was said that a few students, two or three of whom were from the South, threatened to withdraw if Negro students were not refused admission, the college officials rejected these second-year men when they applied for admission at the beginning of the current college year. The decision was expected and meets general approval among the better clauses of this community's citizen. The Negroes are clated at the just and favorable decision, and are loud in their praises of the courageous Judge Parkin. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1949 Howe Institute is located at Memphis, Tenn., in the heart of a dame Negro population. It was founded in 1924, the late Peter Howe, of Illinois, being the principal benefactor. The school is under the control of the Colored Baptists of the State of Tennessee. It is supplied by recipients from tuition and contributions from churches, associations and convictions. The American Baptist Home Mission Society of New York and the Women's Baptist Home Mission Society of Chicago make contributions also, to the payment of the salaries of two teachers. The aim of the school is to afford religious training for colored youth and also serve to prepare for college and teaching in the elementary schools. During the last session 720 students were enrolled from nine States. In addition to the literary course, instruction is given in stenography and typewriting, printing, sewing, basketry, millinery, music and general house cleaning. A ministerial course for those preparing as well as those in active service is maintained. Our Woman's Bible Training Course was attended last year by 216 women, from 28 churches and six denominations. In addition to the systematic Bible study, lessons in embroidery, temperance, missionary work, for towns and cities and how to beautify the home, are given. The outlook for the present session is very bright. We have enrolled a large number of new students. Two new buildings are in course of erection, at a cost of $15,000. One is a home for teachers and the other is a dormitory and industrial building for girls. These buildings will greatly increase the conveniences and facilities for, conducting our school. We have no endowment. Race leaders in various parts of the country would do well to assist, in strengthening a school that is in easy reach of the masses of the delta. Students from North Alabama, Mississippi and East Arkansas give liberal patronage and find congenial atmosphere in which to pursue their education. The location of the school puts it in touch with the best element of the colored population in the city of Memphis and guarantees protection from the city authorities. Our graduates take high rank in other schools and also in the trades and professions. Any co-operation or assistance upon the part of those interested in the education of the Negro in the Southland will be welcomed and appreciated. Rev. T. Q. FULLER, Principal. Central City College. This institution was begun October 3, 189, by the Missionary Baptist Convention of Georgia, one of the oldest religious bodies in the race. Two miles distant from the center of Macon, Ga., on one of the finest roads in the State, crowning an eminence that gives a commanding prospect for miles in all directions, for location it is unsurpassed in the South. The property comprises 2.5 acres of land, one double story brick building of nine rooms, and two frame buildings, one of a story-and-a-half containing twenty-two robbins, the other a single story structure of two rooms. The first two of these buildings is used for dormitories and class rooms; the third is a printing office in which job work is done and a paper printed. Centrally located not only in Georgia, but also in the South this school has a vast constituency to serve, and its present meager equipment is inadequate to meet the demands of its eager patrons. As its name implies it does work in the higher departments of study, collegiate and theological, but it lays stress upon grammar school and high school courses; printing, sewing, millinery and cooking are also taught. Just beginning its tenth year, Central City College is one of the youngest schools conducted for the uplift of the race; it has, however, already reached and helped a large number of all ages without regard to religious faith, and the sphere of its usefulness and influence widens as it grows in age. Though wholly under the auspices of a board of trustees of the Missionary Baptist Convention of Georgia, and while loyal to the tenets of the denomination, its policy has never been narrowly partisan; members of other communions have found employment in its service, including the board of instruction as well as other departments of effort. For support entirely dependent upon voluntary contributions, this school has an educational value to the race, in that it is training it in habits of cheerful, systematic giving to promote the course of Christian education. The present session, which began on September 29, promises good results and is to be celebrated at its close because of its completing the first decade in the history of the undertaking. WILLIAM E. HOLMES, President. Praun Normal and Agricultural School. The Penn Normal Industrial and Agricultural School is located in the center of St. Helen's Island, Beaufort county, South Carolina, about halfway between Charleston and Sawanah. It is one of the group of Sea Islands long noted for the production of Sea Island cotton. The population consists of about 7,000 Negroes and 50 whites. The former, in the majority of cases, own and farm their own land. As a result of this ownership, the problem with which Penn School has to deal is different from that found in almost any part of the South. There should be developed among the people a desire for the best. Here on the island there should be a model Negro community. All the work of the school is planned to fit these people to be of the greatest value to their own people and to this part of the country where their service is most needed. A modern school house, well equipped, which can accommodate 240 children, but which is crowded to accommodate 270 this year, gives to these islands an academic training which goes hand in hand with their industrial training on the school farm, in the carpenter shop, in the dormitory, in the sewing, cooking and basketry classes. All the teachers, except two, are Negroes, working with missionary real for their own people. The school is training teachers for the county public schools. It carries on an institute for the county school teachers.

Paul Quinn College Paul Quinn College, Waco, Texas, opened its doors for the scholastic year of 1908-9, September 22, 1908, with eleven professors and instructors in various departments of the school work, sixty pupils, and the command of Bishop Evans Tyre, after a glorious spiritual and intellectual feast, declared the school open for the reception of students. Sixty students may be regarded in Texas as a good starting number, for when you remember that Texas is a kingdom and cotton is king and thousands of our boys and girls were engaged in gathering the king's blossoms. But since then our number has increased to 200 and the increase will continue until after January. We had a hopeful beginning. There are more persons engaged in our educational work than ever, with new blood, new life, new hopes and an educational inspiration. We are now in a rush for the goal and the crown that awaits us in June and the glorious benedictions from our friends, "Well done!" We have more girls than boys and that can be easily accounted for, the boys take to the field of labor and the girls to the home. Our girls' dormitory will accommodate two hundred when completed and furnished. We are in need of a boys' dormitory equal in accommodation to that of the girls. The school is entirely supported and maintained by the African Methodist Episcopal Church. We do not mean to say that we are independent of donations for our self-support. We have not as yet fallen into the pathway of the educational philanthropists, but we are seeking them and we pray God that we may find them. We are pleased to say that the church in four years has raised for the support of the school $60,000. I mean the Tenth Episcopal District of Texas alone, Bishop Evans Tyree's work. The fall term at the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute is advancing to its close. Fall examinations at the institution take place from November 23 to 25. The term has been successful from every point of view. Three hundred students have been enrolled at the institution, hailing not only from the Commonwealth of Kentucky, but from Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, West Virginia and Illinois. Indications point to an increase of this enrollment to four hundred at the opening of the winter term or immediately thereafter. The present Senior Class is the largest in the history of the school. It is composed of fourteen young women and thirteen young men. They represent the States of Kentucky, Mississippi and Missouri. Aside from the members of the Senior No. 1 Class, there will be MRS. P. BERGER Ladies' Hair Dressing Parlor 533 Eighth Avenue, 1st Floor Bst. 30th and 30th St, R. Y. All kinds of Alco-American hair goods in stock or made to order may 20-20-20 DR.

Trade, Straightens and Beautifies the ten or twelve young men to complete the mechanical, printing and agricul- tural courses while five or six young women will finish the prescribed work in sewing and printing. Prof. John H. Jackson is president of the institution. His administration has been eminently successful in all that goes to make up success in school sense of the term. The late General Assembly complimented his efforts in the interest of the school by appropriating the sum of $40,000 for the furtherance of this great work. Prof Jackson is a ripe scholar and an author of prominence in the race. During the fall term at the Kentucky Institute several hundred dollars have been spent on the improvement of the ground, the water system and the several departments. The mechanical department, under Prof. Jas. L. Lawson, has been completely refitted, and placed in position to meet every demand made upon it. So has the printing department under Prof John H. Rives. Prof. Rives, though recently added to the faculty of the institution, has made himself indispensable to its great work. The sewing department, Miss Lydia M. Miller, of Philadelphia, in charge, has been placed in first class condition and the mass of sewing hitherto done by outside establishments is now being done in the department. The same financial help has been given to the work of domestic science under Mrs. Addie G. Smith; to the departments of music under Miss Laura P. Smith; of business, superintended by Mrs. Lavina M. Hartshorn and the agriculture in charge of Prof. Thomas J. Garth, with the result that new and increased interest has been kindled in these departments. The physical and chemical laboratories, Prof. W. H. Clarke in charge, have been placed on a par with those of our best institutions of learning, and the students of physics and chemistry are given an opportunity for experimental work in these difficult branches of study which can hardly be surpassed in any of our State institutions of learning. Among the prominent visitors that have inspected the work of the Kentucky Institute during this fall term are: Superintendent of the Feeble-minded Institute, Dr. J. G Nuttall, Frankfort; Rev. L. M Happgood, D. D. District Superintendent of the Lexington District Conference; Rev. R. L. Hyde, D. D. Principal of Bowling Green Academy, Bowling Green, Ky.; Rev. J. A. Boyden, Principal of the Industrial School, Camp Nelson, Ky., and Hon J. G. Crabble, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Frankfort, Ky. These gentlemen rendered valuable assistance, not only by their presence, but by their instructive words of good cheer and encouragement. The immediate outlook for the Kentucky Institute is splendid. Perhaps no other institution of the country has fairer prospects and presents better opportunities to the colored youth. The present term has emphasized to the Board of Trustees the fact that the school has outgrown its former bounds. Plans have already been submitted looking toward additional buildings and equipments. An additional model school and mechanical shop are among the buildings to be erected on the grounds during the coming spring and summer. These buildings, fully equipped, as the management propose that they shall be, will enable the institution to meet all the more increasing demands made upon it as an educational center for the colored youth of Kentucky and the Middle West.
