Champions Negro's Cause at North Carolina Society Banquet Cannot be Repealed—Such a Step Would be Utterly Impracticable Says the President Elect FLAYS 'LILY-WHITEISM' The proposal to repeal the Fifteenth Amendment is utterly impracticable and should be relegated to the limbo of forgotten laws. We believe that the solution of the most question in the South is largely a matter of industrial and other education. The hope of the Southern Negro in the South is to be a good helper, how to be a good mechanic, how to make his home active and how to live more comfortably according to the rules of health and morality. The Negroes have now reached the point where they have no country but this. They have no flag and now. They wish to live under it and are willing to die for it. They are Americans. They are a part of our people and are entitled to our every effort to make them worthy of responsibilities on free men and on others. We cannot sympathize with an effort to abolish the support of Republicans in the south or to read out of the party those colored voters who by the time they become citizens will make themselves unable to exercise the electoral franchise. Served equality in something that grown out of voluntary concordance by the individual forming society. President-elect William H. Taft was the principal speaker at the annual dinner of the North Carolina Society of New York City Monday evening, and a distinguished gathering, composed of 400 Southerners and their guests, listened to a remarkable speech which the Negro played a prominent part. The banquet was held at the Hotel Astor. It was noticeable that the President-elect was applauded time and time again because of his utterances on the Negro question, which were fair and impartial. The speaker did not handle the Negro question with kid gloves, but boldly set forth his views on such subjects as the proposed appeal of the Fifteenth Amendment, social equality, and Lily's Inquiry in Negro in the United States who read William H. Taft's speech Tuesday morning formed an opinion that during the next four years the country will have for its President a man who will be broad minded and fearless on all questions affecting the Negro, one who will not permit any discrimination on account of color. A plea was made for a united North and South, which was received with enthusiasm by all present. Judge Taft was cheered for several minutes at the conclusion of his address. ```markdown ``` Looking back into the past, of course the explanation of the difference between the South and the other two sections was in the institution of slavery. It is of no pose to point out that early in the history of the country the North was as responsible for bringing slaves here as the South, because we are not concerned with whose fault it was that there was such an institution as slavery. No are the consequences of the probability that had the Northerners interested in slaves, they would have viewed the institution exactly as the Southerners viewed it and would have fought to defend it because as sacred as the institution of private property itself. It is sufficient to say, as I think we all now realize, that the institution of slavery was a bad thing, and that it is a good thing to have got rid of it. It doesn't help in the slightest degree in the present day to stir up the opposition of the institution by attempting to fix blame one part of the country or the other, in respect to an institution which has gone, and happily gone, on the one hand, or in respect to the consequences of that institution which we still have with us, on the other. These consequences we are to recognize as a condition and a fact, and a problem for solution rather than as an occasion for crimination or recrimination with respect to whose fault they may involve. But when slavery was abolished by the war the excision of the cancer left a wound that must necessarily be a long time in healing. Nearly 5,000,000 slaves were freed; but 5 per cent. of them could read or write; a much smaller percentage were skilled laborers. They were but as children in enacting the stern responsibilities of life as free men. They had to be absorbed into and adjusted to our civilization as such. It was a radical change, full of discouragement and obstacles. "I am not going to rehearse the painful history of reconstruction, or what followed it. I come at once to the pres- THE NEW YORK AGF ent condition of things, stated from a Constitutional and political standpoint. And that is this: that in all the Southern States it is possible, by election laws prescribing proper qualifications for the suffrage, which square with the Fifteenth Amendment and which shall be equally administered as between the black and white races to prevent entirely the possibility of a federal or municipal Governments by an ignorant electorate, white or black. It is further true that the sooner such laws, when adopted, are applied with exact equality and justice to the two races, the better for the moral tone of State and community concerned. Negroes should be given an opportunity equally with whites by education and thrift to meet the requirements of eligibility which the State Legislatures in their wisdom shall lay down in order to seize the power of the electoral franchise. The Negro should ask nothing other than an equal chance to qualify himself for the franchise, and when that is granted by law, and not denied by executive discrimination, he has nothing to complain of. The proposal, to repeal the Fifteenth Amendment is utterly impracticable and should be relegated to the limbo of forgotten issues. It is very certain that any party founded on the proposition would utterly fail in a National canvass, and that the hope is futile, practical, and something that means usable progress. It seems to me to follow, therefore, that there is or ought to be, a common ground upon which we can all stand in respect to the race question in the South, and its political bearing that takes away any justification for maintaining the continued solidity of the South to prevent the so-called Negro domination. The fear that in some way or other, social equality between the shall be forced by law or brought about by political measures really has no foundation except in the imagination of those who fear such a result. The Federal Government has nothing to do with social equality. The war amendments do not declare in favor of social equality; all that the law or Constitution attempt to secure is equality of opportunity before the law and in the purity of the enjoyment equality is something that grows out of voluntary concessions by the individuals of life, liberty and property. Social forming society. South's Political Solidity. With the elimination of the race question, can we say that there are removed all the reasons why the people of the South are reluctant to give up their political solidity and divide themselves on party lines in accordance with their economic and political views? No. There are other reasons, perhaps only reasons of sentiment, but then with the Southern people, who are a high strung, sensitive, and outspoken people, considerations of sentiment are frequently quite as strong as those of some political or economic character. In the first place it is now nearly forty years since the impulse of the socialist ideal and the intensity of feeling by which it was maintained, and the ostracism and social proscription imposed on those white Southerners who did not sympathize with the necessity for such solidarity, could not but make lasting impression and create a permanent bias that would naturally outlast the reason for its original existence. The trials of the reconstruction period, the heat of the political controversies with the Republican party, all naturally, during the forty years, implanted so deep a feeling in the Southern Democratic breast that a mere change of the conditions under which this feeling was engendered could not at once remove it. The Southern people are a hugely popular people; they preserve their traditions; they are of the purest American stock, and the faith of the fathers is handed down to the son, even after the cause of it has ceased, almost as a sacred legacy. "But times change, and men change with them in any community, however fixed its thoughts or habits, and many circumstances have blessed us with their influence in this matter. The growth of the South since 1890 has been marvelous. The manufacturing capital in 1890 was $250,000,000, in 1890, $650,000,000, in 1890, $1,150,000,000 and in 1898 $100,000,000, while the value of the man-made capital was $450,000,000 in 1890 to $900,000,000 in 1890 to $1,450,000,000 in 1890, and to $2,000,000,000 in 1908. The farm products in 1890 were $60,000,000, in 1890 $770,000,000, in 1900 $1,270,000,000, and in 1908 $2,220,000,000. The exports from the South in 1890 were $260,000,000, in 1890 $206,000,000, in 1900 $184,000,000, and in 1908 $48,000,000. In this marvelous growth) the manufactures of the South now exceed the agricultural products, and thus a complete change has come over the charm of the South. The South has become rich, and only the surface of her wealth has been scratched. Her growth has exceeded that of the rest of the country, and she is now in every way sharing in its prosperity. Demerney's Doubtful Departure. "Again the Democratic party has not preserved inviolate its traditional doctrines as to State's rights and other issues, and has for the time adopted new doctrines of possibly doubtful economic truth and wisdom. Southern men, adhering to the party and the name, find themselves, through the influence of tradition and the fear of a restoration of conditions which are now impossible, supporting a platform and candidate whose political and economic theories they distrust. Under these conditions there was in the last campaign, and there is to-day throughout the South, among many of its most intelligent citizens, an impatience, a nervousness, and a restlessness in vot- AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION NEW YORK, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1908 JOHN BAXTER TAYLOR Late Champion, Ongoing Nine, Prucer PHILADELPHIA, December 8.—Friends and admirers' intend to perpetuate, in some fitting manner, the name of John Baxter Taylor, the famous runner of the University of Pennsylvania, who died last week at his home in this city, and who was buried Saturday with imposing ceremonies. 'A committee; consisting of Dr. Augustus Capps, of Harrington, Pa.; Dr. Leroy Baxter, Newark, N. J.; Albert Curry, Philadelphia; and Paul Praver, New York City, has been appointed to discuss ways and means, for holding memorial services out of respect for the noted runner. They will meet within a few days and name the time and place for holding of the memorial services, as well as discuss what steps to be taken to perpetuate the name of the deceased. Seldom hasa Negro citizen been homo- nist. Last Saturday representatives whit [Image of a person playing a guitar] and colored citizens from many cities attended the funeral and paid their last tribute to a young Negro, who was one of the most popular athletes, if not the most popular in America. Among those who visited the family residence, 3223 Woodland avenue, were Mike Murphy, the Pennsylvania track coach; Johnny Hayes, winner of the Olympic Marathon; Melvin Sheppard. Olympic double title holder; Harry Hillman, of the N. Y. A. former world's coach; Ernie Hertlberg, coach of track team of the Irish-American; Dr. J. K. Shell, who discovered the wonderful running ability, of Taylor; Tom Longboat, the Indian runner from Canada, and many others with whom the deceased had been intimate in the athletic world during his life. Funeral services were conducted by four clergymen—the Rev. Carstairs, of St. Thomas' Protestant Episcopal Church; the Rev. Maguire, of St. Bartholomew's, Cambridge, Mass.; the Rev. Haerwood, assistantctor of the Church of the Crucifixion; and the Rev. Thomas, of St. Barnabas' Church. The interment took place at Eden Cemetery. The active pallbearers were Dr. Howard Smith, Leroy Baster, Dr. Augustus Paul, William Baster, Curry, Paul Frayer and William Baster, Louis Bonary, pallbearers were Baster, John Dancy, William Innard, Lennel Gowdrey, Dr. Charles Lewis and Horace Allen. Floral pieces were sent to the family residence in such large numbers that they blocked the hallways and filled every room. Many were left outside. Among the floral pieces received were those from George W. and Aida Overton Walker; the colored postoffice clerks of the Central Branch, Philadelphia; a large harp from New York friends; the acyoltes of St. Thomas' Episcopal Church; and the colored students of the University of Pennsylvania; a prominent member of the floral pieces were a huge "P" in violets and roses from the University of Pennsylvania track team and undergraduates, a gigantic combination of lilies of the valley and forms from the Irish-American A. C. of New York; a beautiful basket of flowers of every assortment from the Hamilton Club, and almost a hundred others from clubs and friends. John Baxter Taylor was 85 years old, and had won the title of champion quarter-mile runner of the United States. Last June he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania as veterinary surgeon. Later he went to London where he competed in the Olympic games. He was ill with typhoid pneumonia but two weeks later he caught the fever, was seriously ill. He leaves a father, a mother, a sister and a brother. Not only did Taylor make friends during the eight years he was a runner, but at his death he was able to show nearly forty cups and seventy-five modals, mostly gold, and trophies which he won in running contests. That he made many friends during life was shown when his parents received over two hundred and fifty letters and telegraphs of conolence. One of the letters received was from Harry Franklin Porter, acting president of the American Olympic team, which was as follows: Mr. and Mrs. John B. Taylor. 3223 Woodland Ave., Philadelphia. Dear Friends—Permit me, in behalf of the American Olympic team, of 1908, as the athletic Club, and as a friend, to tender your parents of John Haxter Taylor, Jr., my sincerest sympathy in this hour of trial. His sudden passing but has come as a great shock to us all, and we feel for you keenly. He misses John; you as his nearest of kin, the most, for you have labored long and sacrificed much that he might prosper. His race to whom his example has done much, and will do more, and his friends of every class and race, will all miss him very much, but will not, indeed, cannot, forget him. It was not alone as an athlete of marvelous skill and courage, one of the great JOHN BAXTER TAYLOR Late Champion Quarter-Mike Runner just the world has ever known, although this was much. It is far more as the man that John Taylor made his mark, and that he has been a fleet-footed, fart-famed Red and Blue athlete, was beloved wherever known. As a member of the American Olympic team, he passed into memory for his modernity and beauty. As a beacon light of his race, his example of achievement in athletics, scholarship and manhood will never wane, if indeed it is not destined to form with that of Booker T. Washington and John A. Knopf of progress that is leading the black men out of the bondage of prejudice, in equality and ignorance into true freedom and culture. As a man, John has left behind a legacy of kindness and frank income and myrth. He is gone—yet he lives. Yes, he lives. He lives still, and always will. Be comforted. Again let me express my heartfelt sympathy, and my apprehension of the fact that all that a son could be. Believe me. Very sincerely yours. HARRY FRANKLIN PORTER Acting president, American Olympic team. SUCCESSFUL STATE FAIR. GOURMA, S. C., December 5 — Richland and Carroll, one of the prime movers of the South Carolina State fair, held here recently, announces that the fair was a great success. Speaking of the fair Mr. Carroll said: "About fifteen thousand people passed through the gates in two days. The exhibits were very, very fine. We paid all our bills and had a surplus left. The stockholders made nearly one handled per cent. Many white people attended and were surprised at the large crowd and the exhibits. State officials, the Governor and others, attended. Four attempts were made heretofore to get up a Negro fair, but failed; this one went through. Perfect order-prevailed; not a single arrest was made by police. Not a drinkard was made by police. Not itself was remarkable when we considered that the city was crowded with Negroes." Bostow, December 7.—Will future Americans be swarthier as a question being agitated, caused by an article on "Races in the United States," appearing in The Atlantic Monthly for December, which was written by Prof. William Z. Ripley of Harvard. According to Prof. Ripley, owing to the abnormal intermixture of alien peoples in this county there will probably be a reversion to a swarthy and blackeyed primitive type. In his article Prof. Ripley speaks of the primary physical brotherhood as a scientific probability, and that the white yellow black and red differ only in the degree of physical and mental development. Prof. Ripley remarks upon the tendency of intermixed stocks to increase the percentage of female births. In the blending which is "sure to assume tremendous proportions" is an opportunity to study men in relation to this ... "great natural law." Moreover, in the "powerful process of social selection," which is already apparent, the Anglo-Saxon or, Teutonic element is threatened with complete submergence. But while he foresees that the Anglo-Saxon stock, with its attenuated birth rate, will be "physically inundated by the engulfing flood" of foreigners, he trusts that "the torch of its civilization and ideals may still continue to illuminate the way." To nourish, uplift, and inspire the immigrant peoples of Europe is henceforth the "Anglo-Saxon's burden." Prof. Ripley's article is in part as follows: "Will the future American two hundred years hence be better or worse, as a physical being, because of his mongrel origin? What chance is there that, out of forcible dislocation and abnormal intercourse of all the peoples of the civilized world, there may be a physical type tending to revert to an ancestral one, older than any of the present European varieties? The law seems to be well supported elsewhere, that crossing between highly evolved varieties or types tends to bring about reversion of the original stock. The greater the divergence between the crossed varieties, the more powerful does the reversionary tendency become. "Many of us are familiar with the evidence; such as the reversion among sheep to the primary dark type; and the emergence of the old wild blue rock pigeon from blending of the fantail and pouter or other varieties. The same law is borne out in the vegetable world, the facts being well known to fruit growers and horticulturists. The more recently acquired characteristics, especially those which are less fundamentally useful, are sloughed off; and the most central features common to all varieties emerge from dormancy into prominence. "We are familiar, in certain isolated spats in Europe, the Dordogne in France for example, with the persistence of certain physical types without change from prehistoric times. The modern peasant is the proved direct descendant of the man of the stone age. But here is another mode of access to that primitive type or even an older one, running back to a time before the separation of European varieties of men began. "Then, to be more specific, there can be little doubt that the primitive type of European was brunette, probably with black eyes and hair and a swarthy skin. Teotonic blondness is certainly an acquired trait, not very recent, to be there, judged by historic standards, but as certainly not old, measured by evolutionary time. What probability is there that the prime minister the Irish and dark Italian types a reversion in favor of brunettes may result? "Anthropologists have waged bitter warfare for years over the live issue as to whether the first Europeans were long-headed or broad-headed; that is to say, Negroid or Asiatic in derivation. May not an interesting and valuable bit of evidence be found in the results of racial intermixture, as it is bound to occur in the United States? More females at birth is the response of nature to an increasingly favorable environment or condition. Inland and coastal areas naturally injurious to the welfare of any special use, according to Westermark, it is accompanied by a decline in the proportion of females born. "A powerful process of social selection is apparently at work among us. Racial heterogeneity, due to the direct influx of foreigners in large numbers, is aggravated by their relatively high rate of reproduction after arrival, and, in many instances by their surprisingly sustained capacity of life, greatly exacerbates the domestic cach. Relative submergence of the domestic Anglo-Saxon stock is strongly indicated for the future. Our great philosopher, Benjamin Franklin, estimated six children to a normal American family in his day. The average at the present time is slightly above two. Even among the Irish, who are characterized nowadays everywhere by a low birth rate, the fruitfulness of their children is the same for the Massachusetts native form. Is it any wonder that serious students contemplate the future of Anglo-Saxon America with some concern. * "On the other hand, evidence is not lacking to show that in the second generation of these immigrant peoples a sharp and considerable, nay, in some cases a truly alarming, decrease in fruitfulness occurs. The crucial time among all our newcomers from Europe has always been in this second generation. The old customary ties and usages have been broken and associations, restraints, and sociabilities have not yet been formed. Particularly is this true of the forces of family discipline and religion, as has already been observed. Until the coming of the Hun, the Italian, and the Slav, at least, it has been among the second generation of foreigners in America, rather than among the raw immigrants, that criminality has been most prevalent, and it is now becoming an issue. It is the genera- tion in which the influence of discretion and of novel opportunity makes itself apparent in the sharp decline of fecundity. "In some communities the Irish Americans have a lower birth rate even than the native born. Dr. Englemann, on the basis of a large practice, has shown that among the St. Louis Germans the proportion of barren marriages is almost unprecedented high. The culture, although technically inconclusive, continues in conclusion reports of the State of Michigan appears in the following suggestive -areu sed uwapjjgo jaqunui aqi puri race annually in each class: mother German father, German mother American-born father, American- born mother " * * * * For three-of the most crowded wards in New York city the death rate of the Irish was 36 per thousand; for the Germans, 22; for natives of the United States, 45, while for the Jews it was only 17 per thousand. By actuarial computation at these relative rates, starting at birth with two groups of 1,000 Jews and Americans, respectively, the chances would be that the first half of the Americans would die within 47 years, while for the Jews this would not occur until after 71 years. Social selection at that rate would be bound to produce very positive results in a century or two. * * * * "Great Britain has its 'white man's burden' to bear in India and Africa; we have wears to bear with the American Negro and the Filipino. But an even greater responsibility with us, and with the people of Canada, is that of the Anglo-Saxon burden—so to nourish, uplift, and inspire all these immigrant people of Europe that in due course of time, even if the Anglo-Saxon stock be physically inundated by the engulfing flood, the torch of its civilization and ideals may still continue to illuminate the way." FRAISES NEGRO SOLDIERS Army Officer Says They Make Beat Cavaliers. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—Whatever may be the attitude of other communities toward the colored troops in the United States Army, West Point has only words of praise and appreciation for the colored cavalry detachment stationed at the United States Military academy, Colonel H. L. Scott, superintendent of the academy, voices this attitude in his annual report to the Secretary of War, by saying: "The cavalry detachment (colored) has continued its excellent showing and has demonstrated still further the advantages of colored over white men for this duty. There is a waiting list now, and only experienced men having former service and very good and excellent records are accepted." PRICE, 5 CENTS IS OPPOSED TO LYNCHING The Memphis Commercial Appeal Denounces Mob Law NEGROES AMAZED At Stand Taken by Southern Paper, Which Has Been Bitter on Race Question Give All a Legal Trial; for Whites WILL Ultimately Have to Answer for Lynching in the Smith. MEMPHIS, December 7.—Since the recent publication-of, an editorial by the Commercial Appeal under the caption, "Stop Killing and Stop Lynching Lest We Ourselves Perish," the Negroes of this city and State are amazed at the stand taken by that paper on Lynching, and particularly on the Negro question. For years the Commercial Appeal has been one of the strongest and bitterest anti-Negro newspapers in the South. Fear of Negro domination has been one of its principal themes from week to week. Even when Negroes have law lynching whether the victim was innocent or guilty, the Commercial Appeal has seldom, if ever, deplored the reign of mob law and urged that the lawbreakers be severely dealt with by the authorities. In the editorial the paper pleads for law and order and urges the citizens of the State to give all a air trial, whether they be white or black, adding that the whites will finally have to answer for the lynching of Negroes and pay the penalty for crime, whether it be shooting, killing, lynching or otherwise. The editorial: "Sick law the reign of the or the reign of the law in Tennessee? Shall we have mob rule or law rule all over the South and all over the United States?" "Have we come to the time when we can predict that some future historian will cite this country as having, after a fair trial, proven by its collapse, that a free government by a free people cannot exist? "We had night riding in Obion county for months. Then the night rides commenced, the most famous crime that was ever done in Tennessee. They overpowered an unoffending citizen, an eminent man, one who had never word or by act criticised them or wronged them, and in the dead of night they hanged him like a dog. "Rankin did know his assailants. Rankin was a lawyer and he trusted to the law. He was unarmed, for he believed that law and justice were as living things and would protect him in all of his rights and all of his liberties. "Troops were thrown into Obion county. The ringleaders of the mob that killed Rankin were captured, and they have confessed. Whether the law with twelve men will be able to convict them remains to be seen. "Yesterday three Negroes were taken away from officers of the law, by a mob in Lake county, adjoining Obion county, and they were hanged. "The crime of this mob is not solely against the three Negroes; it is against the State. When they murdered these Negroes, they lynched the law in Lake county. "Gov. Pattelson made a supreme effort to save the State from this additional exhibition of lawlessness, but he failed. "A judge and an attorney-general started over from Union City to Tiptonville. Soldiers were hurried over from Union City toward Tiptonville. An impromptu session of court was held; the Negroes were tried before a magistrate and he, in order to preserve the form of the law in so far as possible, sentenced them to be hanged. "Even this did not suit the mob. The carrying out of the magistrate's order made a disturbance from a humiliating initit, but when the sentence of the magistrate had been harely passed, the mob began work. "These Negroes were bad-men. They made a disturbance at a religious meeting held by their own people. Officers were sent to arrest them, and one of them killed an officer. "Just as, sure as the sun rises and sets, a legal trial would have resulted in a death penalty for these men, but the mob would not wait. "You cannot excuse it by saying the men hanged were Negroes and should have been hanged. It will not answer to the law to say the black murderers got their desserts. The Negroes could have been killed, and the law could have done it. The result is that the Negroes are dead and the law itself has been lynched. "Did the sheriff do his full duty? Did he exhaust every means to prevent the lynching? "He took an oath, when the people elected him, to serve the State and the law. Did he keep that oath regardless of passion and of prejudice? "We have got finally to answer this whole miserable business. We selfs will finally have to pay the A meeting of the Lincoln Association was held last Monday evening at the Concord Baptist Church to complete arrangements for the celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation, January 1. It was decided that short adoptions would be delivered at Lincoln and Beachers' statues and that there will be a street parade after which the principal oration will be delivered at Bridge Street As M. E. Church. The main feature and the most attractive part of the program will be the presence of a colored regiment, the 24th Infantry, in the city on that day. Through the efforts of Congressman Calder they have been detailed for that occasion and will unquestionably be the star attraction of the day. Lincoln Centennial Celebration. The committee in charge of the centennial celebration of the birth of Abraham Lincoln met last Tuesday evening at the Carlton Avenue Brush, Y. M. C. A., for the purpose of furthering their plans to apportify celebrate the occasion. The temporary officers were permanently elected. The committee decided to have exercises in the afternoon in one of the downtown churches for the children and in East New York. A committee was appointed to solicit the co-operation of the pastors of the various churches and the superintendents of Sunday Schools generally. Another committee was appointed to secure the largest suitable place for the evening exercise. It was agreed to have an orator of national reputation to deliver the address. D. B. Fulton, better known as "Jack Thorne," was asked to write a poem for the occasion. Society of Sons of North Carolina. Last Sunday afternoon was Woman's Day at the society of the Sons of North Carolina. The meeting was held at 417 Carlton avenue, club rooms of the H. H. Garnett; Republican Club. The subject, "Shall the Emancipation Proclamation Be Celebrated," was thoroughly discussed pro and con. R. E. Waddell presided. West Indian Forum On Sunday, December 13, at 4 p.m., the West Indian Forum will be entertained by the ladies. The afternoon will be devoted to their cause and will be known as "Woman's Day." The following interesting program has been arranged for the occasion; Address, Mrs. Frances R. Keyser, superintendent of the White Rose Industrial Home for Working Girls of New York, and recently elected president of the New York State Federation of Women's Clubs; piano solo, Mrs. George E. Wibecan, Jr.; recitation, Mrs. Gertrude Johnson Rush; vocal solo, Miss I. L. Moorman; piano solo, Miss Blanche Wade; short addresses, Mrs. A. C. Cowan and Mrs. G. M. De Baptiste Faulkner, Mrs. M. C. Lawton will preside. Women's Equal Suffrage League. The Woman's Equal Suffrage League of Brooklyn held a meeting last Wednesday afternoon at the Carlton Avenue Branch Y. M. C. A. After the regular routine of business had been transacted Mrs. A. W. Hunton, National Organizer, gave a most interesting and thoughtful talk which was highly instructive and greatly appreciated by all present. Fleet Street Church Bannar. The annual bazaar of the Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion Church which was held all during the past week closed last Friday evening in the presence of a large crowd. Berron Baptist Church. Last Sunday was Woman's Day at the Berean Baptist Church, of which the Rev. L. Joseph Brown, D. D., is pastor. The exercises throughout the day were most interesting and were participated in by many prominent women. "Semper Eldella" Club The club previously known as the "Semper Fidelia" Club of Brooklyn, met last Tuesday evening at the residence, of Mrs. Sadie Clayton, 112 Lekington avenue, and reorganized on a broader basis and adopted the name of "The Woman's Progressive League." Memorial Services at Bridge Street Church Bridge Street A. M. E. Church, of which the Rev. A. R. Cooper, D. D., is pastor, was taxed to its utmost capacity last Sunday evening, the occasion being the memorial services of the Brooklyn Lodge No. 32, of the I. B. P. O. E. W. Strikingly impressive was the roll call of the dead, at which time one of the three lighted candles was extinguished, accompanied by the rolling of the bell. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Cooper, was at his best and delivered a most thoughtful and eloquent sermon. The catechy by the Exalted Ruler, E. Burton Ceretti, was a most pathetic and fitting tribute to those who had fallen from their ranks. The services throughout were most dignified and appropriate. Baptist Mission On Throop Avenue. On Throop avenue, between Myrtle and Park, the Baptists of Brooklyn planted a mission last Sunday. The services continued throughout the day and were participated in by the Baptist ministers and their congregations all of whom took an active part in the ceremonies. W. C. A. Turkey Dinner. The number of guests is limited. The Brooklyn Y. W. C. A. at 12 Lexington avenue are making elaborate preparations for their second annual turkey dinner which will take place at the Branch Thursday, December 17. KlainBold None The Nonpartial Social Club gave their annual banquet at Peterson's Casino, Berkman street, simultaneously celebrating their third anniversary on Thursday night last. It was indeed a memorable event for all who were present. The club has about sixty members and though they did not turn out on mass it was well represented by the minority. The officers of the club are: John W. Maury, president; R. Stevens, vice president; W. H. Jones, secretary; Dr. J. C. Anderson, treasurer; Dr. J. C. Anderson, and W. N. Daniels, servant-at-mart.

TAFT URGES AIR PLAY Continued from Page 1 ing for one ticket and rejoicing in the success of another. "Now, I am not one of those who are disposed to criticise or emphasize the inconsistency of the position in which these gentlemen did themselves. I know it would be worse if all who sympathize with one party and its principles were to vote its ticket, but I can reasonably understand the weight and in terms of the tradition and the social conglomerations that make them behave. I believe that the movement away from political solidarity is not justified to be encouraged, and I think one way to encourage it is to allow the South understand that the aim of the North and the Republican party toward it is not one of loyalty or criticism or opposition, political or otherwise that they believe in the presence of the British with American friends, but that, as already explained, they do not do that ameliorate to the extent that they are present with the South's business and maintain what it regards as its political safety from domination of an important electorate; that the North years for closer association with the S. that its citizens depreciate that reserve on the subject of polls which has been maintained in the otherwise delibitary social relations between Southerners and Northeners as they are more and more frequently thrown together. Uses state of the art In welcoming to a chance of party affiliation many Southerners who have been Democrats, we are brought free to face with a definite situation which we can only meet with frankness and justice. In our anxiety to bring the Democratic Southerner into new political relations we should have and can have no desire to pass by or ignore the comparatively few white Southerners who from principle have consistently stood for our views in the South when it cost them social ostracism and a loss of all prestige. Nor can we sympathize with an effort to exclude from the support of Republicanism in the South or to read out of the party those colored voters who by their education and thrift have made themselves eligible to exercise the electoral franchise. "We believe that the solution of the race question in the South is largely a THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY DECEMBER 10, 1908 matter of industrial and through education. We believe that the best friend that the Southern Negro can have is the Southern white man, and that the growing interest which the Southern white man in taking in the development of the Negro in one of the most encouraging reasons for believing the problem is capable of solution. The hope of the Southern Negro is in teaching him how to be a good farmer, how to be a good mechanic; in teaching him how to make his home attractive and how to live more comfortably and according to the rules of health and morality. Some Southernners who have given expression to their thoughts seem to think that the only solution of the Negro question is his migration to Africa, but to me such a proposition is utterly fatuous. The Negro is essential to the South in order that it may have proper labor. An attempt of Negroes to migrate from one State to another not many years ago led to open violence at white instigation to prevent it. "More than this, the Negroes have now reached 9,000,000 in number. Their ancestors were brought here against their will. They have no country but this. They know no flag but ours. They wish to live under it, and are willing to die for it. They are Americans. They are part of our people and are entitled to our every effort to make them worthy of their responsibilities as free men and as citizens. The success of the experiments which have been made with them on a large scale in giving them the benefit of thorough primary and industrial education, justifies and requires the extension of this system as far as possible to reach them all. "The proposition to increase the supply of labor in the South by emigration from Europe, it seems to me, instead of being inimical to the cause of the Negro, will aid him. As the industries of the South continue to grow in the marvelous ratio already shown, the demand for labor must increase. The presence in the Southern community of white European labor from the southern part of Europe will have. I am hopeful, the same effect that it has had upon Negro labor on the Isthmus of Panama. It has introduced a spirit of emulation or competition, so that to-day the tropical Negroes of the West Indies do much better work for us-in the canal construction, since we brought over Spanish, Italian and Greek laborers than they ever did before. Ultimately, of course, the burden of Negro education must fall on the Southern people and on Southern property owners. Private charity and munificence, except by way of furnishing an example and a model, can do comparatively little in this direction. It may take some time to hasten the movement for the most generous public appropriations for the education of the Negro, but the truth that in the uplifting of the Negro lies the welfare of the South is forcing itself on the far-sighted of the Southern leaders. Education the Solution "Primary and industrial education for the masses, higher education for the leaders of the Negro race, for their professional men, their clergymen, their physicians, their lawyers, and their teachers, will make up a system under which their improvement, which statistics slow to have been most noteworthy in the last forty years, will continue at the same rate. "On the whole, then, the best public opinion of the North and the best public opinion of the South seem to be coming together in respect to all the economic and political questions growing out of present race conditions. "The attitude of the candidate and the platform of the Democratic party in the last election made this campaign a most favorable one to bring home to the Southern people for seasional consideration the query why they should still adhere to political solidity in the South. It may be that four years hence the candidate and platform of the Democratic party will more approve themselves to the South and to the intelligent men of the South. Under these conditions there may seem to be a retrograde step, and the South continue solid, but I venture to think that the movement now begun will grow, slowly at first, but ultimately so as to extend the practical political arena for the discussion of party issues into all the Southern States." To the Colored Teachers Throughout the Country. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Dec. 3, 1908. The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis is holding for the week beginning December 13, and closing December 19, an inclusive Negro conference at Tuskegee Institute, Ala., beginning upon this scheduled date. They are calling upon all colored organizations to make efforts to have the above work designated as "Health Work." We are to have on Sunday, December 13, seminars, addresses, etc., in all churches, and public places make some reference to the Health of the Negro people of the country. As officers of the National Association of Churches in colloidal schools, public and public to join in this effort for the health of both children and parents. If during this week in with and be held in a better condition with and be held in a better condition in the local community, and tell them to be presently commu- nition much good will result. In the reduction of Lyme in our school, if some employees during this week could be placed upon the in- stitute of provision consultation, we are sure much treat would be born. In connection with this particular effec- tion the colored teachers of the coun- try would have an opportunity to show themselves not only helps in the in- tellectual development of our people, but as strong forces in the social life. With the hope that a large number of our to faits may take hold and give strength to this movement, we are, yours very truly, R. R. Wright, Presi- cident National Association of Teachers in colored school; J. R. E. Lee, corre- sponding secretary. CONGRESS CONVENES. Adjournment Taken out of Respect for Deceased Members. WASHINGTON, D. C., December 8. At noon Monday, the closing session of the sixteenth congress got under way. Speaker Camon called the House to order amid cheers, and Vice-President Fairbanks presided over the Senate. The two houses met and adjourned out of respect to the memory of the members who had died since the ending of the previous session. Prof. Minna's Barn Dance. Several barn dances have been given in this city, but the public witnessed one of the most original barn dances ever given Thanksgiving night at Prof. Minna's Dancing Academy, 187-9 Columbus avenue, between 60th and 60th streets. He seems to make great efforts to give the public a satisfactory novelty, and does his utmost to excel along these lines. As yet nobody has attempted, to duplicate any of his affairs. Those of the several hundred people who attended Prof. Mimm's barn dance, and were not aware it was to be a barn dance, could easily tell it was one from the minute they struck the first entrance, two flights below the dance hall. They could smell the hay and straw and hear the cackling of the noisy chickens. Prof. Mimm stood one flight up, dressed as a farmer, with a bandanna handkerchief around his neck. Very few people knew all the clothes he wore, when changed his clothes and appeared full dress. Prof. Banks remained on the dancing floor, dressed in evening clothes, and with a watchful eye kept a lookout for undesirable persons. When the patrons reached the dancing floor they found one of the most unique and elaborately decorated halls ever, seen on an occasion of this kind. Almost every one was dressed for the occasion, which added much mirth to the decorations and farmers; in fact the hall was made to look like a real barn. Prof. Mimm has so much dancing space in this academy that a couple of hundred people look like a few. At 10.30 there were about 250 people in the hall, and long before midnight the hall was packed almost to its capacity. Those who attended this affair know that it speaks volumes for Mr. Mimm, and he has informed the writer that he still has a novelty he intends to spring on the public December 25, Christmas night, a Christmas, tree reception. Nothing of this kind was ever given before, and Prof. Mimm intends to make this the richest scenery ever witnessed at any similar affair. New Haven, Nets A three nights' fair was held in the guild room of St. Lukes's P. E. Church last week, beginning Tuesday evening, December 1, and continuing until Thursday, December 4. The program for each evening was as follows: Tuesday evening supper was served by the Ladies' Aid Society, and a drama presented by the Boys' Club, entitled "A Town Meeting." Wednesday evening supper was served at the Women's Room, in a drama, "The New Women's Room," presented by the Girls' Club. The boys did nobly in the condition of their respective parts, but in rendition and enunciation it was agreed that the girls far surpassed that of the boys. Thursday evening a turkey supper was held at the Women's Room, Ancillary, and the evening closed with a grand musical. The Guild room was unable to accommoate the large crowds which attended each evening. The fair provoked a big success from every viewpoint. The Guild room was valued at $110. Rev. H. O. Bowles is rector. Mrs. Bortha Harris, of Brooklyn, in visiting Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. Williams, of 223 Ashburn street, and Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Handy, of Hudson street. Rev. and Mrs. A. Clayton Powell are much elated over the advent of a fine boy baby. Note. Owing to lack of space several letters from our correspondents have been pitted. As usual, these will appear in the following week's issue.

Class license may account, in ‘part pethaps for the Senator Carmick mur-, der, but only in part.

Wilson president, and J. H. H. Mills secretary, has been organized as a real estate company for three years. They have purchased three houses, in a very desirable part of the city where colored people before have never lived, accommodating eight families. This association controls this property and is renting it to desirable colored people. Also there is an association known as The Early Rises with Mr. H. Travis Burke, a real estateurer. Their houses also are modern and are being rented to desirable people of their own race. Within a few weeks the Keeney Park Laundry has just been opened. Mr. Mills is傲慢, and is doing fairly good business.

We may say that the most entertaining young gentleman of our city is Mr. Levinew, W. Lawson, the chief of our white citizens. He is one of the most prosperous and finest music teachers of our city, in fact he is a leader. He recently purposed a book to teach us the valuable street where he lives, with his delightful little family of wife and two children. Mrs. Lawson is also quite a noted singer. We are glad to say of his business that we are all outside of our race, he is very much interested, he and his family, in the church work of the Talent Society, to advise the condition of his race. We are pleased with the helpful outlook for our people in the city of Hartford. There are also many colored gentlemen in our city who have purchased farms and are following agriculture as a business. Among them Mr. Edward Hill, of Windsor, who is highly respected as a man of the job, is a man of the race. We are glad to say that our colored citizens are giving less time to hancing around the polls at election day and taking less interest in matters of that kind that do not belong to their own welfare.

WALTON PIRACY IN VALDEVILLE OUT on the coast a few weeks ago two colored acts were principals in what was regarded by a few outsiders who knew of the incident as a farce-comedy; but to the members of the respective acts, two persons in particular, a serious, yes, almost tragic significance was attached to the affair. The two acts in question were Carter and Maddox and the Majestic trio. While nowadays managers are not inclined to book two colored acts for the same bill as was the case a few years ago, yet it is not unusual to see more than one colored act on a program. But it was not because there were two colored acts on the same bill that occasioned all the trouble—it was because of their marked similarity. The scene of the incident was the Orpheum Theatre, Spokane, Wash. On the program the Majestic Trio was billed No. 1 as comedy singers and dancers. Carter and Bluford were sixth and billed as "The Act Beautiful," in character songs, with appropriate scenic settings for each. The bone of contention was the finale. So much alike were they that many in the audience who only saw the last of the Majestic Trio act wondered if a colored act was appearing twice on the program. The case was taken to Charles Muller, resident manager, who decided in favor of Carter and Bluford. During the remainder of the week the finale in dispute was omitted by the Majestic Trio. In a letter to the writer, Carter and Bluford charge that the Majestic Trio pirated a part of their act while working for them last summer. The Majestic Trio is yet to be heard from. That someone has been guilty of piracy the writer does not doubt. We will not attempt to lay the blame at the door of either act, it being our policy to only form conclusions when all sides have been heard. However, we do say that such methods are glaringly unprofessional and should be stopped. To willfully steal the result of one's brains and labor is as much of a crime as to maliciously carry away his jewelry, money and clothing. Among the white vaudeville performers organizations have been effected to prevent unscrupulous ones from maliciously adopting the "business" of another. Colored vaudeville performers should do likewise. Let them organize a similar society and see to it that all found guilty of piracy are summarily and hittingly dealt with. Surely there is nothing praiseworthy in such conduct! Following is the letter from Carter and Bluford: To the Dramatic Editor of The New York Ack: After reading an article in THE AGE of recent date saring that the Majestic Triad had written you they were playing Spokane, Wash., we have wondered if they wrote under what conditions they played Spokane. Thinking it might prove interesting reading for those who are not acquainted with the facts, we write to explain what really happened. Now, in order that you may thoroughly understand the existing circumstances, I will start at the very beginning. During the summer of 1905 I engaged the Majestic Trio (James Towel, Jack Smith and Annie Towel) for a park show, at that time playing the various parks throughout the East. The engagement lasted for twelve weeks or more, and during the last five or six weeks of the season I went to the wings at each and every performance, watch our act, and at every available chance Mrs. Towel would come into Miss Bluford's dressing-room under some pretext or other and study her make-up and examine her warrohe, etc. Of course, we never dreaming that we were carrying three pirates, paid no attention to it. But you can imagine our surprise on going to see their act at a later finish, after finishing their engagement with me, and finding them doing a finale just as near ours as their limited ability would allow. Well, besides being almost dumbfounded, it really hurts me more to learn that I Act all summer and knew nothing of it. I said nothing to the Towels but was compelled to relieve my feelings by telling Smith what I thought of him, as had always been my favorite friend. I felt the winters went serenely on, they retaining the pirated finale until the week of November 8, when they played Spokane. Wash. We also had the extreme pleasure of playing Spokane the same week, and on the same program at the Orpheum Theater. I went at once to the resident manager, Mr. Charles Muller, who knew nothing of it, and he asked me to wait until he had seen both acts and he would then have what we wanted. One moment and did their act in full, not forgetting our finale, and we came on number six. The only thing I will say as the result is, after the performance the manager invited us into his private office where he and one of the directors congratulated us on our act, etc., and without telling us of his intentions, be med the "We Just Take It" trio would have to cut the finale they were compelled to do week they played Spokane on will please find program. press notice, so you can ho really "played Spokane." I wish to my that I do try Read (present come ERNEST HOGAN WHO HAS RETURNED TO NEW YORK FOR THE WINTER din in the act) at all, as they did the finals before he joined them, and I really don't believe he ever saw us do it before.

It is with no small degree of satisfaction that I note the manifold benefits the theatrical profession is now enjoying the theatrical department of The New ERNEST WHO HAS RETURNED TO N YORK ACE. The yoyoman service that you are now, rendering, and the many possibilities and beneficial results that you are so enlightenable capable of diffusing through your valuable paper, cannot be too highly estimated by the yoyoman profession upon the good work so nobly begun. I echo the sentiment of the entire profession. Your versatility, keenness of perception, and wide experience as a journalist enables you to perform with honor and credit the unique position you so happily hold in the world. Were in theatricals. Your efforts along this line will be watched with pleasurable anticipation. Yours truly. Performers, don't wait until the last minute to advertise in the, holiday From the Red Moon Cole and Johnson, in "The Red Moon," and incidently the season's success in musical comedies, played nightly to capacity business in Cincinnati. Thursday, December 3, balcony seats were auctioned as high as $3 a seat. Notwithstanding the success of their newest vehicle, Cole and Johnson are as modest and unmoved as they would be were conditions just the reverse. Indications are that old Santa Claus will be kept busy in the "Red Moon" company. Many mysterious looking bendles are seen around the company. Marion Potter and Tilly Smith will scarcely notice the other members of the company since they received their fur coats, but they had better watch Mollie Dill and Elizabeth Williams—another of those mysterious bundles—carrying incidenta. That's all. A battle royal is raging. Edgar Connor has sounded the challenge and mustered his forces under the banner of "Sambo". Theo Panky, equally as eager for the fray, has gathered together his army of invincibles (his smiling seniors) around his standard and has repaired to an ambush "On the Road to Monterey" there to await the coming of "Gen. Sambo" and his banto brigade. The inhabitants of the "Red Moon World" anxiously await the outcome of the conflict: Full accounts in our next issue. Wait and watch for returns. Excerpts in the "Red Moon" company 'tis seldom, if ever, they work peaceably together. "Six Sauce Soubrettes" (S. S. S.), Lena Marshall, Daisy Brown, Bessie Brown, Lottie Gee, Pearl Taylor, Marion Potter. History teaches us that Columbus was the greatest discoverer of his age (the age in which he lived, I mean). But results show us that Bob Cole is the premier discoverer of hidden talent we have in the world of theatricals. "Give unto Gear what is Cesar's. Give unto Bob Hickie—credit. Louie Mitchell, our tenor singing pitcher, has developed a new curve bail called the kirchlip shoot. When hit (accidently) it makes a noise like a hot biscuit dropping into a plate of molasses and butter. "Cora and Johnson," discoverers and dealers in gems of genius. Following gems now on exhibition: Arthur Talbot, Henry Gant, Andrew Tribble, Theo Panky, Edgar Connors, Wesley Jenkins, Elizabeth Williams, Fannie Wise, Elanche Deas and Bennie Jones. Abbie Mitchell, with her throb-like notes, is nightly enthralling her audi- encues with "The Pathway of Love." James Rose Europe, our musical director, is every busy polishing up his chorus. Mia Blanche Dena, Anna Cook's understudy, is in a real "find." During the recent Blanche of Mrs. Cook Mia Dena filled her (Anna's) part with credit to both herself and Bob Cola. Mia Dena sang "The Bleeding Moon" second only to the great Anna. Belle Morgan, mistress of the pretty clothes, is over on the alert to find a rip or tear. Belle has been dubbed the lynx-eyed ferret. What's that? Jim Europe claims to be a Domino Demon and a Fan-tin Fantastic. Within a few days our company will put on a new aspect as several changes are to take place and consequently new business, and as a show will be bad and money cuts no ice as regards to quality and up-to-dateness, it is easily discerned that the management means business. That's all. I am sorry to say that at last we had to get into our overcoats and the girls into their furs, as a Texas breeze struck us unawares and ever since all are hump-backed or "winter-backed," as it seems. We intend to be represented in the Xmas number even if we do not go through New York every week or two; but when the gentle spring time comes we'll be there. Business continues fine and where they come from I don't know. Andrew Pellebon did his initial monologue one night in Shawnee and came T HOGAN NEW YORK FOR THE WINTER off smiling as usual. He endeavored to entertain the people in his usual peculiar manner. Not having received The Age for three weeks back, the members are giving Gus Hall several pieces of their mind, as he is the representative. His only answer is that "All comes to him who waits." The "Newsboy Song" as sung by Miss Sara Venable nightly is an innovation in musical lines and the writer, Mr. T. Corwell, our director, under whose private rehearsals she learned the proper condition, too much praise cannot be accorded him for his painstaking efforts in the different members to make of them cannable performers. The representative members of the company were entertained throughout the whole State of Oklahoma, including South McAlestor, Oklahoma City, Shawnee, Ardmore, Tulsa and Muskogee. To see such a large number of wealthy and influential colored men and women was the treat of a life time. No pains were spared to make each affair most enjoyable and interesting as well. Prominent among the notables was Judge Sango, lawyer and promoter, who holds an enviable position in the estimation of people in the entire State as pr. able citizen and Negro representative. This company was caught in the vortex of the late floods in Arkansas and Oklahoma, but by the able manowering in charge of Mr. J. Martin Free we have been able to make all our time in those States, thereby dodging those painful lawoffs as it were. Great preparations are under way now among the members to celebrate Xmas in a fitting manner. A large Xmas tree has already been secured by wire in Jackson at which place we will, be. And also a spread that will be set on the stage. Many suspicious and large packages are being brought to the car and hidden away daily, so many surprises are in store for the popular members and sweethearts. As the show is now arranged, the appearance of Mine Jones is greatly enriched by the new interior setting which was specially designed and ordered by the management, and when she makes her center-door entrance in center fancy with magnificent new creations, the appliance is deafening, and at the end of her selections, augmented by the entire company, she is compelled to respond to encores and bows, and even the stage has to be darkened in order that the show might proceed.

TAYLOR HAD WHITE HEART Sayu H. V. Valentine in the New York Journal. The amateur athletic world is plunged into genuine sorrow over the untimely death of John B Taylor, Jr., the great colored sprinter of the University of Pennsylvania. Taylor was the type of colored man that commands the whole respect of his white brothers Win or lose, he was the same quiet fellow, never forcing himself to the front because of his prowess as a runner. His college mates to a man through the world and all of Taylor not only because of his ability on the path, but because of his scouting gentlemaniness that was never found lacking. Man like Guy Hocking, Nat in Carmel, the Whitman boys, Lloyd Jones, and Haylock of the University of Pennsylvania, who were teammates with Taylor, were proud to have the colored boy as their friend and fellow athlete. Berry Accord of Foul. In all his career John Taylor was never once accused of a foul. When he won a race speed alone was the fastest. Though his skin was black, the heart under it was white and came no mare for it. One who feels Taylor's old death keenly is Melvin Shepard, the greatest runner in the world today. Shop and the colored champion set of grow up in athletics together and were all ways fast, friends. Shepard's last act before coming to New York to run in the indoor championships was to call at the Taylor home to see the stricken colored champion Face then Taylor was so low that Mel could not go to his bedside. Another champion who feels profound sorrow over Taylor's death is Harry Hillman, who has run many a heart-cracking race with Taylor ```markdown ``` Tuesday January 26, 1900.

DR. BRYAN othe 208 EAST 17th STREET , "Yet Near 3rd Avenue, N.Y. Accused of Yielding to the Judiciary to Render Hall Decisions Where Full Obses Make Trouble CHICAGO, December 7.—Rev. Jeskin Lloyd Jones, founder of the Abraham Lincoln Center of this city, is a conspicuous example of what is meant by "having the courage of his convictions." In his annual Thankgiving sermon, Mr. Jones freed his mind and heart on the Berea issue in the following language: "Many indications go to show that the voters, North and South, are tired of the race question, but eternal justice is not tired until her plain demands and obvious judgments are enforced. The Supreme Court of the United States, yielding to the bane of the judiciary to render half decisions where full ones make trouble, harking back to the binding prejudices that made the name of Roger B. Moore famous because he made Kentucky has a right to try to make a line permanent which mature, the Emancipation Proclamation and the ever-increasing emphasis of the genius of progress have made as fluid and yielding as flowing water. "And Berera College, noble witness to the heroic friends of freedom who, before the war, and south of the Ohio river, wrought for the justice that knows no color line, instead of accepting the decision of State Legislature and Supreme Court by savior: 'Very well, if we may not minister to the needs of the people we will stand by our first commitment, our more helpless wards, those who still most need our service, those for whom our fathers bled and died.' "We will keep our doors open to the colored man, letting the unspeakable loss to the white race, which is thus excluded, rest at the door of the Legislature, and the Supreme Court of the United States"—this college is smitten with the timidity of prosperity; is yielding to the logic of the expedient; is shutting the door in the face of the black man and accepting the easier road of the white man's diet; bargaining thereby for future sociability, gaining disgrace and ultimate oblivion. "Had the trustees wavered in the face of the dire perplexity in the past, they ought now to see their way clearly after the Pippa-Song of Chief Justice Shades of Fee. Cassius M. Clay and your brays collaborators, you that built your your schoolhouses in the wilderness, your college, whose door was a black man, is now busy raising a petty 'adjustment fund'—specious name for a cowardly thing—with which to build a "Jim Crow" attachment for Beret College for colored people. How have the mighty fallen! Must the defenders of the lowly, the champions of the downtrodden, the despised friends of a wronged race sing sadly the Song of America, a man whose bright star has begun to descend into the darkness of the commonplace and the reactionary?" The Frederick Douglass Center has undertaken to obtain accurate information as to the extent and character of the business enterprises carried on by the Negro of this city. The purpose is to publish the data so obtained in the form of a business directory and to show the extent and variety of ways which the black people are helping themselves by creating opportunities for our young people as clerks, stenographers, bookkeepers, cashiers, etc. A number of young men and women are busy obtaining this data from business men and women. The war of sectionalism has well nigh put the Bible and religion out of the public schools in our large American cities. In the effort to e wholly neu- ness in matters religious we have almost gone to the point where we have banished all moral and ethical teachings lest the children be unduly influenced by sectarian doctrines. Some of the more thoughtful educators have begun to see and feel the dangers lurking in the entire absence of any kind of moral training in our public schools, while the emotional side of child nature is finding its outlet in the vaudeville life and the excitement of physical play, and these things are having anything but a wholesome effect on the character life of the present day pupils. A notable departure from these pernicious tendencies is in the experimental stage in what is known as the Keith school in this city. This school probably has a larger per cent. of colored pupils than any other school in this city of mixed schools. The teachers, in this school, both white and colored, are willingly and eagerly cooperating with the principal in his forward step of introducing a system of simple moral and other lessons. The good effect of this effort is to parent in the everyday department of the pupils. The teachers are encouraged, the parents of the pupils enthusiastic and it is to be hoped that this new departure in moral training will be followed by other schools. FANNIE, BARRIER WILLIAMS. Faith in the Negro. is M. Dunton, president of veterity, Orlando, S. C., five years of hand-to-hand the Negro. This long-intention gives him first-hand the Negro's ability. It be receptive for Dr. Dunton every difficult and delicateation. There were open to hospitals of this country with far-famed surgeons These he did not accept. In when he must place his life hand Dr. Dunton turned to trogo. He was admitted to t Hospital of Chicago and the operation was performed by Dr. David H. Williams, the most noted Negro surgeon of this country. Dr. Williams was assisted by Dr. William H. Hirschman, a former student of Dr. Duston's. The operation one in every successful and the distinguished patient is doing well. In it a wonder that Dr. Duston should trust these Negro surgeons? He knows the Negro and his confidence in him—Southeastern Christian Advocacy. ABOUT THE SCHOOLS AND COLLEGE HOLLY SCIENCE, Miss. Dec. 7.—This college is now in its fourth year and represents an expenditure of $18,000, raised by the two conferences of the C. M. E. Church in the diocesan of Minnesota, presided over by Bishop Ellis Cotrell. From the beginning its growth has been phenomenal. The attendance each year has taxed the capacity for accommodating the pupils. A farm of 110 acres of land, two magnificent brick buildings for administration and dormitory purposes, and is managed by a faculty of 18 teachers with Prof. D. C. Pottus, Howard University 2, as president. In connection with the various departments of literary and scientific work the college is giving instruction in music, typewriting, stenography, printing, carpentry, showmaking, agriculture, horticulture and the raising of swine, cattle and poultry. The faculty is located as soon as much can be secured to provide space, machinery and instructors are brickmaking, cabinet work and a cremery. The objects of the school are manifold. The literary departments are to provide leaders of thought and action who may direct the millions who live in the "Black Light" of the South. The industrial departments will enable our students to profitably meet the requirements of the industrial age introduced by the twentieth century, which is calling for skilled laborers of every kind. When they shall have become qualified to meet these industrial requirements, both in skill faithfulness and the appreciation of a higher life, we believe that idleness, which is inherent in our students' minimum and our place and worth will be recognized throughout the world. The H. T. and I. College hopes to be a potent factor not particularly in solving the Negro problem, but in solving that greater and higher problem, the harmonious development of a pious heart, an intelligent head and a skillful hand. To this end the Colored Method Episcopal School alone is contributing $10,000 annually. This church is soon to make a supreme effort to raise $50,000 with which to erect an imposing structure as the central building for their work. Virginia Tech University RICHMOND, Va. Dec. 5—This school, which represents the most advanced work among the Negro people, has begun the year with excellent prospects for a useful session. The attendance is slightly smaller than last year on account of two facts. First, the lowest class in the preparatory department was discontinuing the students had a more difficult time than usual to earn money during the summer for their school expenses. The aim of the school from the beginning has been to secure a high standard and give the best advantages in the way of library, laboratories, faculty and general equipment rather than to have a school great number. The school has been able to have a twelve or fifteen less than last year. The buildings, however, are all full, with the exception of one or two recitation rooms into which students could be put if necessary. In fact we already have more boarding students than the buildings were intended to accommodate, and we are now able to accommodate the men who would be glad to come, even in a year when it is difficult to secure the necessary funds. One of the incidental advantages of a school in a city like Richmond is the opportunity that the students have of hearing distinguished speakers. Within a few days the students have heard lectures and addresses from such leaders in various spheres of activity as Professor Bliss Perry, editor of the Atlantic Monthly, and professor of Belles Lettres in Harvard University; Robert Dowling, the famous actor; Professor Charles R. Henderson, one of the most distinguished professors of Chicago University; Dr. H. H. Hart, one of the leaders in the National Prison Association; Mrs. Dr. Barrows, prominent in philanthropic work; Dr. J. Milton Waldron, of Washington, and others. Just as school closed last year the gold medal awarded to the university for excellence in literary and industrial work at the Jamestown Expositor reached us. It is a fullful servoir of the Exposition, and is essentially prized because it was awarded not for any showy or striking display but for the high grade of work exhibited, taken from the regular examinations and essay and class work of the students. This year is the tenth year of the existence of the university as a union of the old Richmond Theological Seminary and Wayland Seminary. The Alumni Association last spring voted to undertake to raise $1000 as a gift to the university on the completion of its first decemnal. There will be also a special effort to secure a large attendance of the alumni at the next anniversary. The record of the school is full of encouragement to those who believe in the higher education of the Negro. All Negroes ought to take an interest in it and do what they can to assist a school which means so much to their race Henderson Normal Institute. HENDERSON, N. C.

Successful College Men in New York. It has been said by some that college training unifies the Negro for the practical and helpful duties of life. In an interview last week with two brilliant young Negroes The ACE representative discovered two successful university men who are making good in the competition of life. The achievements of these young men are both gratifying and pleasant. One is a successful lawyer and the other is in the real estate field. The first was Mr. Theodore E. Hill, of the firm of Hill, Bennett and Douglass. Mr. Hill was born in New England and entered the New Haven High School, from which school he graduated from which class orator by the members of the New Haven High School. New Haven High School he entered the well-known Phillips Andover Academy. While at Andover he made a brilliant record as a student and was the school's orator and debater. He graduated from Andover in 1899. After leaving Andover he entered Yale University, graduating in 1901. He then attended a department in 1904 and from Yale Law School in 1906. His record at Yale was very brilliant. After leaving Yale he entered the New York Law School and graduated in 1907. Since his graduation he has been engaged in the practice of his profession. He has tried several cases in the supreme, surrogate and municipal courts, and has been very successful with all of his cases. He says his aim is to help uplift his race. His office is at Nos. 65 and 67 West 135th street. The other young man interviewed was Mr. Stephen A. Bennett, who is operating a mortgage and loan business at 65 and 62 West 135th street. Mr. Bennett is amply prepared for his life's work. He began his education in Taladega, Ala., at Taladega College. While at Taladega his brilliancy as a student was manifested in his close application to study. He graduated from Taladega with honors, being elected president of the senior class and also the winner of the much-sought-after Whitor prize essay. After leaving Taladega he entered Yale University and graduated from Yale 1939 with honors. From Yale 1945 he joined Willis Dickens Yale's famous orator. He returned to Yale after graduation and took a post course in mathematics. Since leaving Yale he has been devoting himself to business and conducts a real estate office at the above address.
