Following are statements represent members of the bar: Robert H. Terrell.) To the honor to acknowledge the your letter containing the state President-elect Taft the sixth and letter the 14th and seventh which enfranchise the state, that it is your purpose to introduce that will contain their question, for it is a necessary step for the state. Our ex- pressions are as follows: their measures, and they measured the proportion of the force exercised to that would be effective in their nature. The great speech before the North Society Judge Taft himself has your query in a more complete effective manner than any one answer it. In that address he actively and sympathetically stated on all phases of the Negro. No same Negro can possibly anything in that famous utterance would have had left unsaid. There were no false hopes held on the Negro, no claptrap about the South to do this or that no promises that as President do more than he was endeavor at the dinner of which he was being served. He said his immediate auditors at the country at large just how on the Negro question and what was the duty of the South that question to the best in that section itself and in fair justice to its Negro citizens. come from all of the speeches of the Negro people and condition have been discussed it is said that as President he purposes everything possible to the end that he and 15th amendments to the constitution are enforced in letter and note. I believe that the method by which he will attempt to do this will be being in speech and document his persuasive powers with the best one of the people of the South, South and black. Baltimore United States District Attorney G. Laird Williams. New York Ace deserves a for asking the hardest question possible to be asked The very suggests that there is abroad a sort of hopefulness and that the sound taken by President Roosevelt not to be surrendered There is a widespread feeling of concern that President elect Taft can be uped upon to give the question of hero's rights as a citizen a con that will be statesmanlike courand just More than this we ask Taft's address before the North Society of New York a few mo may be confidently taken as that he is not afraid of the That he should recognize the importance of ourselves to himself this early inspires confidence that Taft is not only going to be Pres of all the people but the Negroes country are going to be recognized an important part of the all that President elect Taft can do by helping us to gain full recognition of the United States depend largely upon what we can ourselves There is no such giving a man the right of full ship in this or any other republic to cultivate the consciousness and of deserving it and helping to the forces of protection In one Civil Rights cases heard by the Court of Virginia vs Reeves it is stared that 'perons of the colored race must take their share of the burden of removing the obstacles to the enjoyment of their rights.' No man must be allowed to exhibit more courage in his efforts to keep as from enjoying our rights than we can exhibit in defending our rights. We will gain in public confidence and effective assistance just so soon as we can by intelligent, courageous co-operation insist upon exercising the right of franchise where it is now denied. We need to be around fraternity spirit of surrender and helplessness. We need to be looking for coming if we do nothing but look and hope. Men who will not attempt to vote because they are opposed and threatened will never gain their full citizenship. "If President-elect Taft can do more than President Roosevelt has done to 'enforce the spirit and letter of the 16th and 18th amendments' he will need and must have the co-operation of the intelligent and progressive Negroes in the country to an extent not heretofore shown. When any considerable number of intelligent and progressive Negro men repeatedly, fearlessly attempt to exercise the franchise the whole question will assume a new importance, excite public interest and the well disposed man in the White House will find ways to help the cause along in our favor in ways that will put to shame brave force opposition to our advancement as voting citizens." (By Amstafft County Attorney W. I. Jamson, of Twecka, Kna.) "In answer to the question, 'How can President-elect Taft enforce in spirit and letter the 14th and 15th amendments which enfranchise the Negro,' I desire to suggest that the latter clause of section 8 of the 14th amendment to the Constitution of the United States reads as follows: "But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a State or the members of the legislature is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being 21 years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such States. My opinion is that this clause does not refer to the Negro voter except as he is a citizen of the United States without regard to color and cannot be in any way applied to him, and this is the same as the way shall be treated if abdicated by the United States or by any state on account of race, color or previous condition of sevidence. The congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. If the second clause of the 14th amendment was intended to apply to the Negro voter alone there would have been no need for the enactment of the 15th amendment. The United States Supreme Court has upheld the constitutionality of every other amendments to the Constitution, even sections 1, 8 and 19, as well as section 44. As fore stated, this latter clause of the 14th amendment provides that Congress shall have power to enforce by legislation the provision of this article "If it appears to President Taft that the spirit or letter of these amendments are being violated in any locality in the Union it is his duty to call the attention of Congress to it in his message and recommend such legislation as will stop such violation and will restore the rights of the Negro under those two amendments. This recommendation to Congress should be made a very prominent feature of the President in his message and should point out specifically the manner of the violation as it comes to the notice of the President. "By this method the attention of the entire Union as well as Congress would be aroused to the situation and public sentiment would greatly assist in bringing about the enforcement of Negro rights. Whatever laws there are now upon the statute books providing for the enforcement of these amendments should be called to the attention of those in charge of the legislative machinery for the enforcement of the Federal statutes, and their enforcement urged as strenuously as the enforcement of the antitrust laws have recently been urged by President Roosevelt. "Congress should not be cowardly in giving full American protection to an American citizen, and my opinion is that if the matter is fairly and properly presented to President-elect Taft he will see to it that the Negro along with all other American citizens will receive protection under the Constitution and fair treatment." Aking That He Assist Them in the Suppression of Vice in Cincinnati. CINCINNATI, January 9. A delegation of Negroes among them Attorney Charles M. Rey J. E. Harper and Frank Cautrine, have called on Mayor Markheut and asked that drastic action be taken in purifying the colored sections of the city of vice. They asked merely for cooperation in putting a stop to various forms of evils, such as eliminating fallen Negro women closing up dives and keeping minors out of saloons. The Mayor assured them that he would see to it that some measures were adopted. He then held a conference with Chief Milliken and in structured him to have his men deal more stringently with the Negro offenders classified by the Colored Law and Order League, which the delegation represented. 100 DEFENSE, WAS WEAK Members of Senate Net Satisfied With His Address Made Monday. WASHINGTON D C, January 11— For the next few months Senator Ben Tillman of South Carolina will be so bay defending his connections with the Oregan land transaction that he will have no time to entertain the Senate with his old-time hobby—"The Negro Problem." President Roosevelt charges that the South Carolina Senator has been guilty Y of conduct unbecoming a member of the Upper House by being implicated in a deed relating to the disposal of timber lands in Oregon. The matter is being given mature consideration by the members of the Senate. There is a possibility of that badly expelling the hery Senator from South Carolina. A resolution will be adpired by the Senate calling for an investigation of the entire Oregon land deal. A committee is likely to be appointed at a near date which will be given the power to prosecute the matter to the bottom. If the report justifies expulsion there will be a new suit from South Carolina at the next session of Congress or shortly thereafter. Senator Fullman's defense Monday was a rank disappointment of his intimate friend of the man. The man shook his hand after his speech, the actions of the Senator after the man had made his offenses unjustified that while he had been indicted he failed to bear himself of the sections charges made against him. There was to demonstration at the close of Tillman's speech and there was no general movement to congratulate him. It was a full minute after he had resumed his seat before several Democratic members of the House stepped up and shook hands with him among them Rouke Cockran and Mr Heflin. Then followed congratulations by a number of his Democratic associates, including Senators McLaurin Money Taylor Coulson Teller and Bacon Mr Dick was the only Republican Senator to cross the aisle and graso Mr Tillman's hand. Ex-Senator Dietrich, of Nebraska, was a senator to be investigated by the committee of the Senate and was appointed Mr. Tillman. The defense of Senator Hale was a plea in justification for denial. He admits the contrary of the letters quoted in the senator's letter to Senator Hale, saying that he had entered the nine quarters of land owned that he was negotiating for them. From the uncontroversial nature it appears that a number of the Government granted land to certain corporations which provided that they should sell the land for $2.50 an acre. The lands were worth more, and the corporations declined to sell. A firm of real estate dealers view of the violation of this principle proposed to enter particular quarters to tender the corporation the land acre, and on its refusal to tender the corporation the land acre, on its or the corporate Mr. Tillman to restore the land to fip the land remain. In the fall and winter of 1908 Senator Tillman entered the correspondence with respect to bringing into the enterprise, and asked the nine of the "best quarter sections (light for himself and one for his private secretary), should be reserved for him. On U YOUNG REPUBLICANS January 11, 1909 while these negotiations were under way, he introduced a resolution into the senate, calling attention to the alleged violation of the land grant and in effect abusing attorney general to institute a forfeiture suit. TISHEGEE NEGRO CONFERENCE Eighteenth Annual Event to Be Held At Trekker Institute in Karnataka. At Tuskegee Institute in Alabama Tuskegee Ma. Janf 12—The Eighth Annual Tuskegee Negro Conference is to be held at Tuskegee Institute Albany Wednesday and Thursday February 17 and 18. Special committees have already been appointed by the Executive Council of the Tuskegee Institute to arrange a program of exercise for the comfort of such visitors to be present. Historic representatives farmers will come from all of the Southern institutions have been sent to Washington to attend and to the editors of the edited newspapers, as well as a considerable number of professional and other prominent representatives of the race, asking them to be sent at the same time. Included rates of one and one-third fare on the certificate plan have been granted by the Southeastern Passenger Association. These rates apply south of the Ohio and Potomac River, and east of the Mississippi River, and tickets can be bought to Tuskegee for three days preceding the first day of the conference February 17, and are good to turn three days following the close of the meeting. February 18 not included in Sunday When Thirty-nine years old Carried Four Sacks of Salt Aggregating 840 Pounds CUMBERLAND, Md., Jan. 11—Lewis Edmundson, said to have been the oldest active newsboy in the world, who died in this city last week at the age of ninety-eight years, was widely known throughout the country as a news vender. He was born free near Burlington, W Va., and later moved to Virginia. When a young man he was noted for NS great feats of strength and even during his old age possessed the vigor of a healthy man in middle life. When he was thirty nine years old and weighed 280 pounds he won a wager of $23 that he could carry four sacks of soil aggregating 840 pounds, forty feet and pile the sacks one on the other without letting one drop. He beat his rival who let two fall. On this feat William Sprigg, a local sportsman, won $100. Later with the same man a grant made by Nega he bought with his knuckles on an arm and drew Cume blood in the presence of 200 men. Edmunds adversely possessed superior strength but his wonderful strength in battle wore his antagonist our two men was unconscious two hours. It is described as a hurricane. A man who were boys when Edmunds middle aged recall his understated pain, where he had been committed for having come from an older State without a legal permit. He refused to pay a fine of $20.

He had many daring escapes. Once the led a detachment to the Confederate wagon train, which he helped to fire. He never indulged in tobacco or intoxicants. At one time he was wife-houseman at Greenspring Junction. He would carry a barrel of flour under each arm as if they were toys. He was a human shifting engine and could push a loaded car to any location desired. For many years Edmundson served as guide for fishermen and hunters in South Branch Valley. He once obtained $14,000 in gold from the house of William French, a Confederate sympathizer, who, however, had been kind to him. He was seen throwing the bag containing the gold over a cliff into the river, and was fired on by Union troops, but escaped. The house was burned. The gold was afterward restored to its owner. In his younger days Edmundson found pleasure in fights, and he made trips to Cuba to give cocks. He also owned several race horses. He is survived by his wife and son, Vandiver Edmundson, a horse trainer. BISHOP GAINES AT TUSKIEBER TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, JAN 18—Right Reverend Wesley J. Gaines, of Atlanta, Ga., Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, upon the invitation of Principal Booker T. Washington, spent several days at Tuskegee last week, delivering a course of lectures to the young men of Phelpa Hall Bible Training School, a series of lectures in the Institute Chapel to the 1,500 or more students, the teaching body and the people from the town of Tuskegee and surrounding communities. Bishop Gaines' popular audiences have numbered from two thousand to twenty-four hundred. His visit has been made much of by the teachers and students of the school and many courtesies have been shown him. Bishop Gaines is one of the great men of the Negro race who deserves all of the attentions which have been shown him. He has spoken out of a wealth of rich experience and has helped the teachers and students by his coping. BISHOP GAINES IN CHARGE ATLANTA, January 18—It is now settled that President-elect Taft is to send Jameson. important to the success of doing so. The whole matter of how President-elect Taft will spend his time when he comes to Atlanta has been left to the decision of the Chamber of Commerce and that organization, it seems, decided for the president a number of where Judge Taft will speak and the details of the program for the colored people in the hands of Bishop Gaines. Bishop Gaines seems to be managing the whole affair very well, considering the fact that there seems to be quite a contention among the colored forces for the honor of assisting in the entertaining of Judge Taft. SQUABBLING IN OHIO Over Federal Positions—Register Vernon said to Be Supporting Thomas Fleming for Auditor. CLEVELAND, Jan. 12.—Considerable gossip is being indulged in here over the reported candidacy of Thomas Fleming for the appointment of Auditor for the Navy at Washington, the place now held by Ralph W Tyler. It is said by one on the inside that Mr Fleming is backed by N D Bracher, editor of the Cleveland Journal W T Blue, Alexander Martin and Samuel Woods, all of this city, and that Register W T Vernon is to lend them his assistance. The record of Mr Tyler as an official is not questioned, in fact, it is acknowledged that he has made an enviable one that has reflected credit on his race during his term of office, but the friends of Mr Fleming think he should have the place, and have decided to ask Senator-elect Burton to endorse him. There are many here who cannot be brought to believe that Register Vernon would enter into the deal, being a fellow official with Auditor Tyler How it is said Register Vernon is counted on, and has been consulted. My teacher, it is said, is also a candidate for office to a position at Washington and Mr Martin has his tie in a consult appointment, making three seers from Cleveland, and more to hear from who want something at the hands of the new President. It is said that M. Taylor's friends in Ohio are not in the least solicitous about his future, however relying on his record. Some of Fleming's friends are charging that Brascher is playing a doulhe game with them, and Brascher's friends are coming back with the charge that Fleming is little crossing Brascher's pet is likely to break out any minute as the interests and ambitions of Fleming, Martin and Brascher are sure to clash in the efforts of all three to land a federal appointment Doctors to Hold Special Notting A special meeting of the Medico- Chirurgical Society of Greater New York, of which Dr. R L. Cooper is president and Dr. M S N. Pierce, secretary, will be held January 15, at 334 West 69th street.

Negro Question Said to be Causing Much Agitation Among Whites RESENTING TREATMENT Of Whites—Object to Laws Witch Keep Threes Gill of Silence; and Cure them to Work in Shrubs In an article published in the Twentieth Century Farmer, Frank Carpenter writes that the Negro question is causing much agitation in South Africa, and that the white settlers are seeking a solution of the problem. The article in part: The white people here are becoming excited over the Negro question. Recently I have visited every colony south of the Zambesi, and the better class of Europeans everywhere have fears of a race war in the future. In the United States we have one Negro to every nine or ten whites. Here the generation is almost reversed. There are more than five black men to every white man, and the black men are beginning to appreciate their possibilities. Within the last year or so they have been stirred up by some missionaries of their own race, who are said to come from the United States. The sect is known as the Ethiopian Episcopalians and they are at work in Natal, Cape Colony and the Transvaal. Their pastors preach the equality of the races and urge them to stand up for their rights. I have seen Negroes in all the cities of South Africa. They wear European clothes and the crowds one sees about the stations are as fully rigid as any the Negroes of our small towns. In some instances they are wearing black clothes when walking along the streets; they do not like Jim Crow trailers to the electric cars, and they are asking for more schools. So far the most of the education of the Kafir has been by the missionaries. There are now something like 5,000,000 of him south of the Zambezi, and his school children are numbered by the tens of thousands. In Cape Colony there are no government schools for the natives. Their education is carried on by the mission schools, which are aided somewhat by government grants and are under government inspection. The natives have to pay fees, which cover a large part of the cost, and in some districts they have given money for the building of school houses. The government grants are about one-third as much per pupil for the natives as for the whites, and the education given them is but little more than the three Pa. It is the same in Natal, and also in Basutoland and Rhodesia. There are now about 80,000 pupils in Cape Colony, 8,000 in Natal and 10,000 in Basutoland. The Kafirs of the cities are fast coming to the realization that schooling pays, and they are now amorous that their children should learn. A Johannesburg merchant told me of a Kafir tenant of his who was educating his sixteen-year-old daughter. He was asked why he did so and relied on that he had noticed that the white man was of little value without an education, and, if so, why not the black man? He said that he did not know that his girl would teach school, but that he was bound she should learn. At present the Negro here has no opportunity to get a college education. He is not allowed to go into the universities of South Africa and as a rule the people would rather keep him uneducated. They look upon the natives as their God-created brewers of wood and drawers of water and they want them to continue so. They would rather that they should not own real estate nor go into business. The mechanics and foremen, among the whites, would rather not have the blacks learn trades, and they desire to keep the labor of the two races distinct. As to the co-education of the races there is only one place in South Africa where that is carried on to any extent. This is at Lovedale, about 650 miles northwest of Cape Town. There is a university training institution of the United Free Church of Scotland at that place, and in the whites and blacks are educated together. It is a sort of boarding school with something like 600 pupils, and it might be called an academy, although it has all the branches, from the kindergarten to the normal training school. This school is doing much in making teachers and native preachers. Many of the teachers of the mission schools throughout South Africa have been educated there and it has done much in bringing its European pupils to an understanding of the native character. The institution consists of a large central building, a spacious er RPE EE UPR ere eT Eee Ta LTO ENT RPE Oa rr een er Dyn a eee In ena tr er ee eee re ae ees ig ence er er orca neh rer are iene 1 CML abe Me ROMMEL OR Bite aeyanore eres eT ee Teg RIGA MUP LE Cae ER VOU Ga Aon GE NLT CEM Rr aang RC ombad hte Eo CEE eager 4 iantirate (0; - os Bete oe amasnaanny D.

Europeans in every colony of South Africa are in fear of a race war in the future, writes Frank G. Carpenter from Capetown in a recent issue of the Twentieth Century Farmer. If the numerous evidences of heartless suppression of the Negroes there which he gives, are true the white man in South Africa may well take counsel of his fears. Avaricious Caucasians for these many years have been flocking into Africa. Led by a ruthless lust for gold they have exploited her vast resources by Negro labor and by keeping that labor in its "place." But outnumbering the whites even in South Africa from five to ten to one and just breaking their fetters of mental slavery, the Negroes are beginning to appreciate their possibilities. 100,000 children of the 5,000,000 Kafirs below the Congo Free State are going to school. Though these natives bear by far the larger burden of the cost, the government grants to them but one-third as much per pupil as to the whites To keep the Negroes ignorant and dependent they are excluded from South African colleges, their education is discouraged, as is their purchase of real estate and their going into business. Despite this, says Mr. Carpenter, the "Kafir own land all over South Africa" and large tractors of government land amounting in one instance up to 2,000,000 acres are held in trust for them. The natives wear European clothes and are not utterly lazy. Though they are given wages of $1.50 per month, they must pay one month's salary as taxes or work one month annually for the government. They pay not only excessive hut taxes but excessive marriage, divorce and dog taxes. A Negro in South Africa, the writer continues, has no rights which a white man does or is made to respect. "The word of a black man is never taken against that of a white man." 1 In the cities of this, their own native land, they are made to walk in the middle of the streets and they must ride in "jim crow" trailers to the electric cars. These conditions, Mr Carpenter declares, obtain both in British and German South Africa in Cape Colony, Natal and Basutoland. The natives are complaining loudly of the school arrangements. "In many places, as in Johannesburg, they are beginning to resent their treatment by the whites." Nature has ordained that Africa should be for the Africans. If the white man would develop and exploit her resources; if he would civilize and Christianize the African, he must remember that the African is a human and at home. Africans are not American Negroes cowed by centuries of a cruel and bloody bondage. But free-spirited as the zephyr, which play about their sunny shores, proud of their black skins, and confident in the superiority of their strength, let the Caucasian have a care for the treatment of the African. Let the white man beware. The black Samson in Africa is not in the land of the Phillistines but at home THE NIGHT RIDERS' CONVICTIONS The conviction of the night riders in Tennessee for their foul murder of Captain Quentin Rankin, the sentence of death for six of their number and twenty year prison terms for the two others is one of the most progressive steps forward the South has taken since the Civil War Judge Jones, the prosecuting attorney, the jury and Governor Patterson all alike did their full duty resolutely and unfinchingly. The beginning of the end of the barbarous practices of the present-day Kuklux Clan has come in sight. A start in the enforcement of law and order has been made. The moral influence of this Reefoot Lake case must echo into the farthest corner of the Southland But equally effective with the convictions, should be the precedent, the courageous Judge Jones set in his charge to the jury. He declared that had the night riders taken Captain Rankin out merely for the purpose of beating him and one of their number had shot or hanged him while the others were present or near by, adding or abetting or willing to do so, all alike would be guilty of murder in the first degree. This not only defines lynching as first degree murder, but But this case will be of no permanent avail unless faithfully followed up in every State and county of the South in the conviction of the lynchers of black men. Let the precedent of death to the lynchers of Captain Runkin' and the precedent of Judge Jones' decision be observed and the curse of mob law will vanish forever. The South, rid of its body of death, will then truly blossom as the rose. NEGRO DOES NOT LACK FRIENDS. Sometimes in these days there are individuals among the Negroes who emphasize the idea that the Negro is losing his friends in America We take no stock in such argument. The facts are the other way. As one example, we publish the following extract from the will of the late Senator William F. Vilas, of Wisconsin: "In using the income from the endowment fund, it is provided that the university establish ten professorships to receive not less than $5,000 nor more than $10,000 a year with a pension upon retirement (after fifteen years or more) of $2,500 a year. After the establishment of the professorships, the regents shall provide for fifty undergraduate scholarships at $300 to $400 per year, and it is required that for one-fifth of this number of scholarships, those of Negro blood shall be preferred." Senator Vilas was a Democrat during his life, and so far as we can learn never expressed any especial interest in the Negro race. There are thousands of men and women throughout America who have the same vital interest in the Negro that Senator Vilas had, but who do not proclaim themselves from the housetop. SCHIEFFELIN'S CIVIC LEADERSHIP No man in this great metropolis more richly deserves this high and commanding civic trust than he Few men in this country so stand out for their practical philanthropic and civic efforts. Few men could bring a wider experience, a better temper or a closer grasp on local conditions to the presidency of the good government league of this great metropolis. As head of this patriotic organization of public-spirited citizens, the betterment, of New York's civic conditions is assured. We congratulate the Citizens' Union on its selection. HIGH SCHOOLS, QUIT PRETENDING. The Colored Alabaman, published in Montgomery, refers to the fact that Mr. Willard Dinkins, who graduated last year from Selma University, has entered the freshman class of Brown University Something seems to be out of gear here How is it that a student graduates from one university enters the freshman class of another university? Perhaps the course of study of Selma University is too low or the course of study of Brown University is too high; or it may be that Selma University is only a high school working under the name of a university In any case, we leave it to our readers to find out just where the hitch is. LINCOLN AND DOUGLASS. February 12, 1909, is the centennial anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. For many years February 13, has been observed as the birthday of Frederick Douglass. The Negroes of this country should make common celebration of February 12 in commemoration of both the martyr President and the great Negro freedman, who spoke with a thousand tongues against the slavery of his race A mortgage of about $3,000 still resists against the Douglass Memorial Home at Anacostia, Virginia. There should be a collection taken at every meeting on February 12 in order to liquidate this mortgage. A sacrifice on the part of none is required, but the note of all should be given to this end, as a worthy token of the love and reverence which the race bears its late leader. Contributions forwarded to Dr. Booker 7 Washington, Tuskegee, Alabama, or to THE New York Ace office will be promptly acknowledged and forwarded for the payment. the aio R. L. Andrews, the large Houston, Texas Negro grocer, who his gotten the jump on his rival grocers by offering a two per cent discount on all goods sold during the current year, illustrates the remarkable business of Negro business in the South.

Miss Nannie H Burroughs, formerly corresponding secretary of the Woman's National Baptist Convention, is now head of the Douglass Improvement Company of Lousville, whose chief article will be a high grade Negro calendar. The name is not inappropriate, for the Negro is neither as black nor as ugly as he is painted With President-elect Taft speaking to Atlanta Negroes on January 16, and Augusta Negroes on January 19, the fears of the Democratic Negro press that the Southern sojourn would change the great son of a great abolition father, seem to be about as thin as their own hot air The Negro Boys' Academy, opening up in Germantown, Penn, at an outlay of $8,000 to white local philanthropists, very much akin with billiard and athletic rooms to a Y M C A, will soon be the most popular boys' institution in that State You can't suppress the youth of the Negro race.

The recent tilt between the Prime Minister of France, Clemenceau, and the Prefect of Police of Paris, Lepine, over the former's wish to appoint a Negro protege to the Parisian police department was not a question of race prejudice Just like the New York policeman, the prefect urged the Negro would be too popular to do his duty.

The enormous increase of wealth, the interstate complications with railroads and trusts have turned over people toward Washington as the source of security and strength. The position herein taken would not be unanimously approved in the South. There still linger, particularly among those of more advanced years, an ardor for the traditions of the past, which no degree of present or future prosperity can diminish. They look back upon the days of their youth through a rosy mist of memory. But the controlling element is in alignment with the world's progressive standards. If the speed of the South's present progress is continued for another score of years it will lead all other parts of the Union—Charles J. Haden in Louisville Courrier Journal. Think "P" Means Luck. John O'Sullivan, who has been with H. B. Clafin for nearly forty years, takes a very optimistic view of the business outlook for 1909. "The 9s in American history have always been characterized by prosperity" he said last night, "and if the tradition holds out and surface conditions are correct, 1809 will be a corker. Running over history you will find the panic of '37 was succeeded by the great boom of '39. In '49 gold was found in California. Pike's Peak was discovered in '59 and the mines of Colorado opened. In '69 the era of reconstruction set in and the prosperity that followed has never been equaled. In '79 came another readjustment of industrial conditions, particularly in the South, and great prosperity followed. In '89 came the boom that collapsed in '93. In '99 the opening up of the Klondike and the revival of trade after the Spanish War brought another boom. It looks like as if history will repeat itself in 1909"—New York World. An Example of Thrift Thrift, honest dealing and perseverance are qualities so rare among the Negroes of to-day that the following incident, absolutely true, is all the more remarkable. It also shows what can be done by sheer grit under most unfavorable circumstances to secure that universally coveted thing, a home of one's own. There are three Negro women in the suburbs of Birmingham, Ala, intimate friends and neighbors, who several years ago determined to pool their interests and buy themselves homes. At that time, and indeed, ever since—each was earning about three dollars a week, taking in washing or doing housework for white folks. The plan was to buy one at a time until each had one in her own name. They combined the small amounts they had, and immediately got an option on one lot, paying for it on the installment plan. The deed was made out to one of them; when the last payment was made; then they began paying on an adjudicing lot, keeping this up until the three bits of ground were free of debt. This dine, they saved up with rare zeal until they could have a small house built upon one of the lots. Into this they moved gleefully. Each had some family, but that made no difference. Gradually the savings grew, nickel by nickel, until the second house was done; but instead of spreading out a little, this was rented "all of the rent money going into the fund which, with this big lift, swelled rapidly. Last house is now under construction, doing a new information, and when it is done there will be a moving day, each coming into her very own, and a genuine thanksgiving will be held in three of Smithfield's houses. Who says you can't have a home of your own?—Exchange Hughes on Industrial Education. "The lack of suitable vocational training is a matter of serious concern. A adequate opportunities for boys to become skilled workmen do not exist. And none of our efforts to supply industrial training have fully met the difficulty. A serious aspect of it is that children who are not being trained for some definite vocation are not being trained for anything. It is said that more than one-half of all who enter the public elementary schools leave before completing the work of the schools. Obviously the curriculum of the elementary schools should make it to the interest of the children to remain at the end of the school. It let it should be of a character to impel rational parents to see that it is clearly to their ultimate interest to keep their children in school to the end of the elementary course, and to justify the State in so doing in case parents are remiss "The State Educational Department is seeking to improve the situation by introducing a system of public trade or vocational schools which will take pupils from the elementary schools and train them on any definite vocation for which there are a sufficient number of pupils to warrant the expense. Chapter 263 of the Laws of 1908 not only sanctions the plan, but provides the machinery for promoting it. A division to promote the organization of trade schools has been established in the Education Department and plans are well matured for opening such schools in a dozen or more cities in the near future. It is necessary that the school attendance and child labor laws should be instituted and more completely enforced and the movement for the organization of trade schools wherever conditions warrant it should be properly supported." Governor Hughes' Message to Liege Province 1909 Centennial of Major Stearns February 11 of the 19th North Atlantic Dear Sir—January 8th, four is the centennial anniversary of the birth of Major George L. Stearns, who was a prominent member of all of the important Anti Slavery organizations the editor of two important newspapers and a man whose money and influence added in ever away possible in bringing about the abolition of slavery. Major Stearns was instrumental during the Civil War, also in recruiting in Massachusetts three regiments of colored men and rendered similar service in Pennsylvania Maryland and Tennessee. He served in the Station Secretary of War, a special commission in Major, and received from many sources careful expressions of thanks for his devoted services in behalf of the lives. The memory of such men as L. or Stearns deserves to be commemorated by the Negro people. It is to such rare souls that the Negro is indebted for his present opportunities. Bloker T.

WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY We trust that the spirit of union of our ministers is an omen for good for all the people. It should be so broad that it will catch and work harmonious with every race enterprise within our city. Unity or union on this broad basis will be beneficial—otherwise not. Wichita (Kan.) Searchlight When standing for higher education, we also stand for industrialism—the field, the dining-room, the kitchen. To oppose higher education means opposition to race progression. There must be those of the greater outlook to pilot the people to security. We only are against downright ignorance, and, of course, some forms of half-education that is often too assertive—The Indianapolis Freeman Bring the children up in the fear of the Lord. Keep them in the Sabbath School, and if you ever go to church take them with you. There is more room around the modern pulpit for them than there was in past days. Boys are just as bad as they used to be and need correction often with hostile hands. Look after them carefully, or else you will have to go to a prison cell looking for them when they fail to come home -The Chicago Conservator Tuskegee early in its history recognized that an educational institution has a double function; first, to train students for social and economic efficiency, second, through extension work to assist the people to better the condition. Both of these lines of work have been carried on here for many years and have grown to great proportions. It is now thought well to ascertain what the school has accomplished along each of these lines -The Tuskegee Student A few of the Negro editors of the country who have been striking back at President-elect Taft and the Republican party, they say, because Mr. Taft was friendly toward disfranchisement, will have to reload their guns for another siege. Now that he has declared himself to be not only in favor of the Constitutional Amendments protecting the rights of the Negro, but he further guarantees to see that the law shall be enforced to the letter. These last remarks of his referring to the racial question clears up a lot of back ground which has been the origin of much needless and undesirable comment—Owensboro (Kentucky) Reporter The leaders and teachers of our people should teach them to obey the laws under all circumstances. It may be that at times these laws are the result of class legislation, at other times they may be enforced by officers that are based on account of race, but none of these considerations should prevent our people from obeying them. The Negro people are an experiment at self government and it is not reasonable to suppose that they will be able to respect the laws of their own making until they can have due regards for the laws made by other people. A bad law should be obeyed the same as a good law. This may be easily done if it is remembered that in time most black will either be repealed or abrogated by self government. Moreover every oppressing law is a blessing in disguise. The more of these laws we obey with patience, fortitude and courage the greater becomes our powers of endurance and self-control. The race or nation that has highest regards for the laws, whether just or unjust, will triumph in the end—The Nashville Clarion It may be a wise and economical move to supplant the Negro labor of the country with foreigners, and on the other hand it may be a dangerous experiment. For the last two weeks the floods of the Arkansas river have been eating at the atlats of our sister city, Port Bluff. The press did not state that the citizens of Pine Bluff were only losing obligations to the Negro for holding it not for then the city would have been at the mercy of the river. These Negroes asked their lives willingly to work for their city. It would have been in excellent time to strike for big waves and short hours. They had a monopoly and they could have a stake in the Mayser that they wanted $10,000 for eight hours work and if they refused to give it school by and looked at the river dept the city but the Negro's heart is not built that way because it cannot be built at all. could to release a fearful and dangerous situation.

No. Depbt Where Tft Stand Mr. Laft's letter in confirmation of the Maryland plan of Negro disfriement, will open the eyes of some people in the South. They have taken his cordial advances and amiable expressions of good will as a sign that he would wink at the injustice of trucks suffrage laws designed to exclude all Negroes even if educated and property owning and to include all whites, even though poverty struck and illiterate. But that was a mistaken inference. Mr. Laft now leaves no doubt where he stands. He is against the enactment of any suffrage measure which would be unfair and unequal, in operation as between the races. In dissecting the Maryland plan of dividing the voters into classes, he shows that the aim is to "free the whites from educational or property qualifications, but to subject all Negroes to them." This he truly declares to be repugnant to "the spirit of justice and equality," as well as, in violation of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. The whole law, asserts Judge Taft, "nought to be condemned," and he calls upon every Republican and every Democrat, who "desires equality of treatment to the black and white races," to oppose it. The doctrines of this admirable letter apply, of course, not to Maryland alone. They strike just as hard at the suffrage laws of Mississippi and Alabama and Georgia. They make it evident that, in Mr Taft's endeavors to win over the South, he is not going to forget the elementary principle of political justice—New York Evening Post. Bishop Smith on Morris Brown. To the Editor of THE NEW York AGE: Dear Sir: The news item to your paper from this city under date of January 4, 1900, to the effect that at a recent meeting of the Board of Trustees of Morris Brown College, a motion was made to abolish its industrial department is not only misleading but absolutely false. Morris Brown College stands for the education of the head, the hands and the heart. (Signed) C. S. SMITH. Chairman the Board of Trustees. Atlanta, Ga., January 9, 1909. The Negro and the Italian Disaster. To the Editor of THE NEW York AGE: Italy has, within the past few days, met with the most horrible disaster the civilized world has known. More than 120,000 souls have perished and as many more have been left homeless and destitute Now, I have noticed very closely, and to this date I have not heard an individual Negro charity organization nor a single Negro minister make mention of this calamity, nor have they raised any contribution for the unfortunate ones with whom the whole world has been moved to sympathize What is it? Are we an uncharitable race, or is it an oversight on our part? Now, this is too worthy a cause for a race of 80,000 individuals here to overlook, and I thing the churches in this city especially, should lift a collection for this special purpose Of course, "Charity begins at home," but we may, at some unforeseen time, meet with a similar fate and we would expect aid from the nations, and that we can rest assured we would get. As a race, we cannot afford to overlook this important matter. Cleveland Journal Says Organise. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE, Dear Sir, This is to say that I have just read your editorial in the current number of THE NEW YORK AGE under the caption "NEGRO Journalist." It has been a hope of mine for sometime to see a permanent and effective organiza- tion of the publishers of Negro newspapers effected. Never in the history of our race have our newspapers stood so high in the opinion of the race and the country at large. Our newspapers are the source of information and inspiration for all the progressive leaders and thinkers of the race; the business and professional folk as well as those who work with their hands. Such an important responsibility as our needs behind it an organization which will not only bring about a better fellowship and understanding, but will give an opportunity to work out means for further advancement along news and commercial lines We ought to promote further such a bureau as Mr R. W. Thompson, of Washington, D. C., has conducted largely on his own initiative, and we ought to co-operate intelligently with the National Negro Business League in the very important items it is gathering concerning the progress of our people. In fact, our newspapers should take a lovely interest in finding out everything good being accomplished, and warn our people of bad characters, pitfalls and danger-holes. Commercially, we should make a campaign in the interest of a larger reading public of our doings, both among our people and the people of the white race. We should impress every Negro home in the land with the importance of having at least one race newspaper come into the home each week and paying for it on time. We should look forward to advising our people of the importance of regarding the advertisements that appear in the columns of our various papers, and in that way open up a larger field for advertisement patronage from firms that do a large advertising business. Herefore, the large advertising agencies have paid very little attention to our newspapers except they desire to advertise some fake medicine, hair straightening remedy or "Black No More." Most certainly we can promote our welfare by an organization, and I believe no better time than now could be allowed for bringing this about. I wish to congratulate the New York Advertiser taking the first step and as sure as you may during the inauguration in March at Washington would be putting time to have an entirely free press.

I could not reason why I should at the end of each week, pour the reward of my toil into the purse of my master. When I carried to him my weekly wages, he would after counting the money look me in the face with a robberlike fierceness and ask, 'Is that all?' He was satisfied with nothing less than the last cent. He would, however, when I made him the dollars, sometimes give me six cents, encourage me. It had the opposite effect. I regarded it as a sort of mission of my right to the world. * * * My discontent grew with me. I was ever on the lookout for means of escape; and finding no means I determined to try to hire time, with a view of getting money with which to make my escape. "About two months after this, I applied to Master Hugh for the privilege of hiring my time. He was not acquainted with the fact that I had applied to Master Thomas and had been refused. He, too, at first seemed disposed to refuse but after some reflection he granted me the privilege. * * * I found it a hard bargain. But, hard as it was, I thought it better than the old mode of getting along. It was a step toward freedom to be allowed the responsibilities of a freeman, and I was determined to hold on until it I bent myself to the work of making money. I was ready to work night as a fellow day, and by the midday as a supervisor and industry made tough to meet my expenses. I lay up a little money every week. I went on thus from May till August. Master Hugh then refused to allow me to hire my time any longer." "I thought the matter over during the next day, Sunday, and finally solved upon the third day of September as the day upon which I would need a second attempt to secure my freedom. I now had three weeks during which to prepare for my journey. Early Monday morning, before Master Husband had time to make any engagement with me, I went out and got employment of Mr Butler at his shipyard near the drawbridge, thus making it unnecessary for him to seek employment for me. At the end of the week I brought between eight and nine dollars seemed very well pleased and why I did not do the same week before. He little knew what plans were. My object in words steadily was to remove any suspicion might entertain of my intent to run away and in this I succeeded admirably. I suppose he thought I was never better satisfied with my condition than at the very time during which I was planning my escape. The second week passed and again I carried him. my full wages; and so well pleased was he that he gave me twenty-five cents (quite a large sum for a slaveholder to give a slave) and hade me to make a good use of it. I told him I would "Things went on without very smoothly indeed, but within there was trouble." It is impossible for me to describe my feelings as the time of my contemplated start drew near. I had a number of warm-hearted friends in *Baltimore*—friends that I loved almost as I did my life, and the thought of being separated from them forever was painful beyond expression. It is my opinion that thousands would escape from slavery, who now remain but for the strong cords of affection that bind them to their friends. The thought of leaving my friends was decidedly the most painful thought with which I had to contend. Besides the pain of separation, the dread and apprehension of a failure exceeded what I had experienced at my first attempt. It required no very vivid imagination to depict the most frightful scenes through which I should have to pass in case I failed. The wretchedness of slavery addressed itself creeping up and potentially before me. It life and death with me. But I remained firm and according to my resolution, on the third day of September, 1838, I left my chums and succeeded in reaching New York without the slightest interruption of any kind. How I did so, what means I adopted what direction I traveled and by what mode of consequence, I must unplanned. I had been in the field of the cause. I had written but what I put did well with a full heart and never felt hopeless when in an emergency. With attending an event at the University I felt very well suited to speak and I was the same person I had been in. Mr Willie Coffin, a gentleman who had lived in New Paltz, had people's attention in New Paltz. I was a witness and I took up reluctantly. He told me I felt a degree of freedom and said what I desired with considerable ease. From that time till now I have been engaged in pleading the cause of my brethren with what success and with what decision. I leave those acquainted with my labors to decide. mites YUL ver . em Hat Mpa ee Te nee ERR 4 , “. ‘ oF ~ FRE NEW YORK AGE: THOMBDAY, JANUARY 14, 1909, ————————™ SEE rt = the telegrams, le Presents JURIST ADDRESSES LEAGUE. | Jt Hamey, Ficai er W.

TAFT'S SECRETARY OF sTatE. & Negre Bey. eas The following story is, told by a writer in the Brooklys Danly Eagle as illus: trating the many-sided character of Philander C. Knox, selected by Presi- dent-elect Taft to be his Secretary of State . “Mr Knox is accounted by his neigh- bors an amstocrat, 3 his passion for justice 18 So great that he took up the case of a friendless boy who had been ‘cheated by a corporation, and by throw ‘ing into his case all the power of his great legal mind, he forced the corpora- tion to make redress to the extent of $8,000. For this service he never re- ceived one dollar, and the boy for whom 1 was performed was a Negro. “Murmurs came of a cast in which a boy having been badly hurt in an ex- ploston of natural gas was hurried off to a hospital. Agents for the responsible corporation cheated the helpless young- ster mto an outrageous settlement. Then Knox, lawyer for many corporations, rose in his wrath and smote this one, and just from his sense of right com: pelled a proper settlement on the vic- tim of te acicdent. But even this com- mendable action did not elicit any ac- claim. Mr Knox was not a man to publish his chamty far and wide, and his somewhat cold, restrained extenor did not stimulate newspaper writers to make a hero of him” Aruasias Business League Elrcts Om- Linz Rock, January 9—At the re- cent wsvion of the Arkansas State Ne gro Business League, held here, the fol- Towing officers were elected by acclama- tan Attorney S.A.

LESTER A. WALTON THEATRICAL COMMENT discussing the present theatrical situa tion decided: to form an orgamzation among vaudesille performers, to be mown as the Colored Vaudeville Asso- elation For several years there has Been considerable talk indulged in rela- tive to effecting such an orgumization, Bat there has been more talk than ac. tion in evidence It was agreed among those present that the plan of organiza tion should be determined as soon as possible, an agreement being made that an application for a charter be applied for in the early spring It 1s hoped the prime movers in this praiseworthy ven- tore will not allow the proposition to drop after a few weeks of general dis eussion, as has been the case heretofore ‘As there are the Players’ Club. the Lambs’ Club and the “White Rats” among the white members of the pro- rag there can likewise be in exis- ice beneficial and elevating orgamza. tiens as the Frogs and the Colored ‘Vaudeville Association and controlled ‘by our colored artists Such organiza- tions, by co-operation, can accomplish: amch good for the members of the theatrical profession—that 1s—by the exercise of conservatism and common wense and the absence of all unnecessary jealousies and petty bickerings It is fot a difficult matter to determine why Brown and Nevarro year after are booked solid from September to and are known 4s a standatd act in “the, United Booking Office when you see i Witan, 6, where but A i ees are “gots on the bill, This week the well- Keown vaudeville team is playing at tein's. While they are not Billed along with the vitagraph, they can- not brag about their spot on ‘the pro- ai but that 1s not ther fault Mike jons, siage manager, attends to the placing’ of acts All performers know what he does to the majonty of colored acts—good, bad or indifferent It 1s said that once upon a time Tom Brown Bras given the “choice” position of open- ing the show, but instead of opening he closed—that 15 the Brown and Nevarro's engagement—and walked out So now instead of appearing No 1, the (cam 1s billed No. 2, a litle better Some day they will probably get a more deserv- ing spot a Hammerstein's, as 1s the case elsewhere.
