In South Declares President-elect Advises Them to Become Indispensible Citizens Men of Transplanting Negroes to Another Country-Only Flag They Know Is Stars and Stripes AUGUSTA, GA, Jan 15 - In speaking before the Colored Young Men's Christ- ian Association of this city Sunday, President-elect William H. Taft made it plain that he will be the Negro's as well as the white man's President, and in unmistakable terms made it under- stood to his hearers that he intended to show a spirit of fairness to the Negroes of the United States throughout his admi- nistration. During his address Judge Taft deplored the existence of race prejudice and advised the Negroes in the South to make themselves indispensable; which, he declared, would be the ultimate means of doing away with race prejudice. Judge Taft's address in part You have your own destiny to carve out. I don't mean to say that you have not obstacles before you, and I deeply sympathize with your feeling with reference to the injustice that arises from race prejudice and race feeling of thoughtless and wicked men. I know how it cuts to the quick. But on the other hand you know in your hearts that there are in the South many noble white men who believe that the uplifting of the South is largely in the uplifting of the Negro, and he is the chief instrument himself to bring that about. "When you make yourselves industriable to a community from a material standpoint, there is likely to be a specification of unjust prejudice. The reason that the South can afford to have the Negroes transplanted to some other country to me always sounded like a like. They tried that in Mississippi they were only going to move the Negroes, not out of the country to Africa, but across the river. They had a not when they tried. So, of course, that is insurd. Negroes Must Be Workers. "But if the Negro should be respected he must make himself worthy of respect he must cultivate those virtues of providence, of industry, of thrift, which will make him respected as a 'labourer' as a farmer, as a skilled mechanic, as a contracting to the wealth of the community in which he lives and without whose and the accumulative net worth is impossible. "Now, my friends, I have surd all I ought to say. I only want to tell what I always want to add before a cold audience, that you are American. The idea of transplanting you is utterly aburd. The only flag you know is the flag of the Stars and Stripes, and you are of a race which has given up their lives and mourned the ground with their blood in defense of that flag and will continue to do so. Therefore, as the President of the United States, so be, if the Lord spares me until the fourth of March, I must feel that I had not discharged my duty in coming into this country if I spoke at all without speaking of the colored people, as an important part of the South, and as Americans entitled to the same earnest concern that I hope the Lord may give me to manifest with respect to a whole united people." Praise for the Y. M. C. A. Mr Taft also dwelt at length upon the advantages of Y. M. C. A work and illustrated his point by picturing the temptations and depression of Americans in the Philippines, and the help which the association was rendering there by affording wholesome ways of entertainment for the leisure hours. It was his belief that the Y. M. C. A had brought about in this country tolerance among the various religious denominations. I think a pretty good example of this tolerance is the fact that I am elected President of the United States; he remarked INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS FOR OHIO National Society for Promotion of Industrial Education Waste Trade Schools Concurrent Jan 19 Immediate and definite authority to local boards of education to establish and maintain vocation and trade schools, and a commission to be appointed by the Governor to make a complete investigation of the subject is requested of the Legislature by the General annual convention of the Ohio Board of the National Society for the Education of Industrial Education to conduct a semester in the Board of Trade assembly room co-users educators and la- cations that the school sys- tle probably reused to meet the needs by training for the well as college Definite advanced steps in this presented by Superin- sion of the Columbus Hawley president of the Co- Federation of Labor, charged dearth of mechanics to specializing by employers. He pleased to give members of trades the same right to give certificates of qualification as are now given in professions by representatives of the nation. John H. Morgan, in his book *Observation and Factors*, behold these schools should lay the same foundations for technical education that are given for classical education. A letter was read from President Lewis of the Ohio Federation of Labor, and urged the movement President Roosevelt Names Negro Wilson's term expired last January, nearly a year ago, and the President, then ignoring the protests of the Florence business man and Representative Ellerbe, sent in his name to the Senate, and held them on the nomination. Wilson served on through the recess and now the President names him again. Representative Ellerbe has got active in the matter and has seen several of the Senators. It is practically certain that unless a cog shuts somewhere Wilson will not be confirmed during the administration of President Roosevelt. It remains, therefore, to be seen whether Mr. Taft will reappoint him. LOYAL TO JUDGE SPEER Negroes of Georgia Petition Congress Not to Pass Bill Creating New District. ATLANTA, Jan. 19—Because United States Judge Emory Speer has always shown himself to be a friend of the Negro, a petition has been sent to Congress by many Negro citizens of Georgia protesting against the proposed plan to create a new judiciary in the southern part of the State, which would mean the appointment of another United States judge. The petition "The undersigned, representatives of the colored masses in this country, do earnestly offer this our petition and protest that you will not pass the bill to create a new judicial district in South and Southeast Georgia so as to withdraw the largest colored population in the State from the protection of the Court of which the Honorable Emory Speer is Judge. "Like the true Southern gentleman, he has been from his youth upward just and kind to the colored people. When he was a young man as District Attorney in the Northern District of Georgia he prosecuted and convicted the night riders who disguised themselves as Ku Klux and cruelly beat many of our people in their lonely sinners because they had voted, and the Supreme Court of the United States sustained the convictions. "After his appointment as Judge by President Arthur in 1885, his twenty-three years of humanity to the people have been marked by no differences between the black and white. He has had no juries in his courts except men who give to all men their legal rights without regard to color. He has decided that the laws against peonage are constutional, and he has done all in his power as Judge to protect our people from these crimes. Many men of prowess in his district have been convicted severely punished, and put under their god behavior. If this crime is presented in it will result in the hopeless degradation of the colored man. Our race needs judges on the bench like Judge Spear who will allow us only our just rights.

In fact, it has became ap- port that without the interest and co- operation of the large number of wide- awake and intelligent Negro women the cause of women's suffrage cannot suc- ceed. The first meeting of this kind that has ever been held in this city took place at the Frederick Douglass Center, Jan- uary 12. The Center Woman's Club took the initiative and invited the re- presentatives of the various colored women's clubs to join in a public meet- ing in the interest of women's suffrage. Among those who responded by send- ing delegates were the L B W Club the Ideal Club of Englewood, the Phi The Wheatly, represented by Mrs L A Davis, president, and Mrs Thomas Pearson, the Deerhorn Center Club represented by Mrs G L Stewart and Mrs Haines, and representatives from the Cornell Charity Club Aside from club members the other women present expressed themselves as in- her hearty sympathy with the movement. During the discussion it was suggested that the Negro women of the day were much better qualified to exercise the right of suffrage than were the colored men when first emancipated. They have not only been better educated in school and college, but have had the added advantage which the colored women's clubs have afforded. It was argued that the discipline of club work and parliamentary training have broadened their views of life and quickened woman's interest in the larger social, civic and economic questions of the day. The intelligent discussion of this question, participated by Mrs. Celia Parker Woolley, Mrs. B. A. Davis, Mrs. Linn, Mrs. Stewart, and the president of the club was present, to many of the women present. The Douglass Center, attended last Sunday by the present of two interesting visitors from Boston. One was Miss Josie F. Jones, whom recently gained distinction by her clever work in the Boston School of Languages. A year ago she won the first scholarship prize in the form of a bison scholarship in the University of Paris. Miss Jones is spending the present year in Oberlin College and expects to go to Paris next year to take up the work represented by her scholarship prize in the University of Paris. Beside her evident gift for the languages, she also shows a marked proficiency as a pianist. The other Boston visitor was Mr. L. Benjamin, a well-known business man of the "Hub." While in the city Mr. Benjamin was the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Geo. C Hall.

Mrs. Woolley has sent a communication to the Committee of One hundred having the celebration in charge, recommending that fifty thousand copies of Ball's Statue of Lincoln in Washington, D. C, be printed and distributed freely, and especially among the public school children. It is thought that the generous distribution of this reproduction of the famous emancipation statue would arouse a deeper interest in the things that Lincoln stood for. Perhaps but few people remember anything concerning the Spring Valley Rioters in Bureau County, Illinois, some nine or ten years ago. An interview with a Mr Watts A Johnson, who was the prosecuting attorney of the county at that time, and who succeeded in sending several of the rioters to the State penitentiary, shows how effectively rioting can be punished. The Spring Valley rioters, composed of Huns and other trash from Europe, made a criminal attempt to banish from the mines hundreds of Negro miners. When the leaders were caught, tried and sent to the penitentiary for a term of years it struck terror into the hearts of the other would-be maverals. Since that time there has not only not been any further attempt at violence, but the Negro men have had the best of everything in the way of kindly and just treatment and one of them has been honoured by election to the City Council and is now one of the most influential men in the body. The First Negro In Courts. In the year 1870 J. R. Salney, of South Carolina, the first Negro ever elected to the United State House of Representatives, was sworn in. BALTIMORE, MD, Jan 10—Republicans are jubilant because the Democratic party in this State is torn up over the disfranchisement amendments that some of the Democratic leaders want to have passed in order to decrease the voting strength of the Negro in Maryland. Since President-elect Taft gave LL! AGE person sending , commencing The names of be published. ending in sub- ommissions. HING CO. New York City t once. out a statement condemning such a course there have been nothing but disagreements in order. The State leaders of Democracy are more than worried over the disaffection amendment, and some of them are actually in favor of dropping it as a paramount issue in the fall campaign. The amendment will, of course, be submitted to the people, and it is already on record as a party pressure, but there is a question among the leaders whether it will pay to prepare the entire State ticket for the purpose of passing the amendment. This view is held especially by the city leaders, but the county bosses, as a rule, are red hot advocates of the amendment as the paramount issue. The county politicians want it in order to strengthen the local organizations, and the voters want it because the Negro is more objectionable in the counties than in the city The ring bosses have not forgotten that Baltimore city was responsible for the amendment being snowed under when it was before the people in 1905, and it is in this city that the bosses fear and anticipate trouble next fall. They fear that it will be a difficult task to convince the foreign-born voters that the amendment is a good thing for them, and they don't want to take any more chances than necessary of losing this vote, a large part of which is or not directly Democratic. Most of the county politicians are ready to risk everything for the amendment and let the party stand or fall with it as the case may be, but not so with the city gang and a few of the State bosses, who have knowledge and experience enough to know that the city vote is necessary to make the State safely AGE. The bosses also know that there are men in the party whose influence is worth having who are either opposed to the amendment or, at best, will be only lukewarm in their support of it. Those men were conspicuous by their absence at the "harmony dinner" last week, and their lack of cooperation in the amendment idea was the principal reason for their absence, although polite notes of regret may have been sent. Some of the leaders think it would be well for the State convention when it meets to take a stand that the amendment is submitted as a Democratic measure, but leave it with the voters to accept or reject it within their judgment, and to pass no criticism upon the man that does reject it. This will be regarded as a case of learning some thing by experience. The light over the amendment grew so hot in 1903 that a number of Democrats who opposed it went so far in their disapproval as to vote the Republican ticket. The Democratic bosses do not want a repetition of such action this year. They would like to elect their ticket and pass the amendment, too, and if too many chances are to be taken, then, say some of the wise ones, let the amendment slide, for the "Negro bugaboo" can always be relied upon as a "good issue." The Democrats have won in many former campaigns by the "Negro domination" cry, and some are of the opinion that the passage of the amendment would kill their most effective battle cry NEGRO ANTI-SALOON CONVENTION To Be Held in Atlanta February 26 Great Moral Movement. DALLAS, TEX. Jan 19—Following a movement started in Dallas, preparations are being made for the holding of an anti saloon convention of the Negroes of the South in Atlanta, Ga. February 26 The meeting is to be known as "The Southern Negro Anti-Saloon Congress," and it is declared to be the intention to make the affair an epoch in the history of the Negro race in the South The program includes addresses by some of the South's ablest men of the white and black races In addition to the prominent Negro ministers and educators there are many noted white men on the program. The committee making the announcement says. "We are determined to prove to our worthy white friends that we are as profoundly concerned in the great moral movement as any others. It is an opportunity for our people to give the world notice that we are on the right side of every question for the promotion of the public good." UNITED BROTHERS OF PRESIDENT Appropriates $10,500 to Pay Death Claims for Quarter. HOUSTON, Jan. 18.—The Board of Directors of the United Brothers of Friendship of Texas met at the U. B.

JAMES W. JOHNSON PROMOTED. Appointed Counsel to Corlize, Nicola- sanne, as President, Reagan's It. WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan 18 —The nomination of James W.

This is a promotion for Mr Johnson in the consular service. ANOTHER NEGRO BANDMASTER. To Be Appointed to Succeed George F Tyrrell, Transferred. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan 19—The War department announces that Chief Musician George E. Lyrell, of the Tenth Cavalry Band, stationed in the Philippines, has been transferred to the Lifteenth Cavalry Band (white), and ordered with that organization to Port Myer, Va. near this city. This is the first transfer of this kind made under the President's recent order, which looks finally to having Negro leaders of the bands for the four Negro regiments. As vacancies occur in the position of chief musician of white bands the white leaders of colored bands will be transferred to fill them and colored leaders will be appointed to the colored bands. In June last Elbert Williams, formerly bandmaster at Tuskegee Institute, was appointed chief musician of the Twenty fifth Infantry. A short time ago Carl Gungel chief musician of the Ninth Cavalry was retired, and his place, it is understood, has been taken by James A. Thompson, a Negro, who has been serving for a long time as assistant leader. With the assignment of a Negro chief musician to the vacancy created by the transfer of Chief Tyrell, the only white leader remaining will be W O. Thompson, now with the Twenty-fourth Infantry at Madison Barracks, New York Has Largest Circulation INDICTED FOR LYNCHING BOY Prominent Citizens of South Carolina Involved in Murder Charge State Authorities Are Active in Desire to Punish All Implicated in Outrage Negro Boy Put to Death by Mob on Pake Charge of Stealing a Mule—Son ex-Statg Senator Arrested FLORENCE, S. C, Jan. 19.—There is considerable agitation in this section of the State over the lynching of an innocent Negro boy in Forestville several days ago by a number of whites in which the son of an ex-State Senator is implicated. The State has taken up the case and has indicted a number of whites for taking part in the murder. The situation has become more tense by the publication of an article in the Charleston News and Courier under the caption "Murder in Florence," in which the paper severely scores the lynchers and calls them murderers of extraordinary malice and brutality. Arthur Davis, the murdered boy, bore a good reputation in Forestville, and was liked by all, except one man, who hobbared a grudge against him. The white man was not brave enough to attack Davis openly, but trumped up the charge of stealing a mule. Several white sympathizers were secured and Davis was taken out and put to death State Takes Up Case. That the Negro had been foully deals with was so apparent, State Solicitor Walter H Wells took up the case and had an inquest held. The jury was made up of twelve of the best citizens in the Florence and Hyman section and brought in the following verdict: "That A. Davis came to his death from gunshot wounds in the hands of three white men—L. S. Bigham, A. H. Fuller and Dan Hinds." The men were not present at the Burch, together with J. J. Koopman, served warrants on them. They were arrested and imprisoned. were arrested and incarcerated in jail. When Solicitor Wells arrived at the scene of the lynching he found the section of the county posted with warnings by Night Riders, threatening the citizens if they took any part in the inquest and convicting any one for the crime. However, no attention was paid to the threats. Newpaper Attacks Lynchers. In referring to the lynching the Charleston News and Courier said: "Unless the accounts of the killing of the Negro Arthur Davis have been grossly faked, and there appears no reason to suspect they have been faked at all, the manner in which the people of Florence county shall deal with his slayers will test their fitness to be entrusted with the enforcement of the criminal laws. "No charge is brought that Davis had committed the crime for which lynching is sometimes excused Davis had not killed a man. He had not assaulted a woman. He was not guilty nor was he suspected of arson, larceny or any other grave offense. One man accused Davis of cruelty to a mule, which Davis denied, and in his denial was corrupted by neighbors. Moreover it is said that Davis bore a good reputation If the half of this be true, the killing of Davis by a 'few white men' can be explained only on the theory that they are murderers of extraordinary malice and brutality. If a few Negroes in Florence or in any other county had masked themselves, visited a white man at night, dragged him off and with a few Negroes should, probably have been lynched as soon as they had been apprehended, and the lynchers would not have been seriously molested. "The butchering of Davis appears to have been one of the most atrocious crimes that has disgraced the State in recent years. If it go unpunished, common murderers, not lynchers, will have escaped. Lynching is unquitous, but these men in Florence should not be allowed to abuse the term. It seems that they cherished a private grudge against the Negro and slew him secretly because they were afraid to kill him openly." JUDGE TAFT AND BISHOP GAINER. How They Met in Atlanta at Bethel A. M. E. Church—Beth Large Men. ATLANTA GA., JAN 18—When Judge Taft entered delthel Church last Saturday to deliver an address to the Negro citizens of this city the first man he saw was Bishop John Wesley Gaines. The Bishop is a large man and the President elect and the churchman locked at each other with interest "I believe you weigh more than I do" said the President-elect. "How much do you weigh?" replied the Bishop with legal cautiousness. "Two hundred and ninety-five pounds," said Mr Taft. "I weigh 291," came back the Bishop, and he joined in the laugh started by the President-elect. When Mr Taft left the church he carried a big American Beauty rose, thrust into his hand by a Negro woman as he walked down the aisle ATLANTA NEGROES HEAR TAFT SPEAK Urged For Masses—Much Credit Due Bishop Gaines For Big Meeting ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 10.—One of the most important banquets ever held in the South was that tendered President elect Taft by the Chamber of Commerce of the city of Atlanta, Ga., Saturday night. The Chamber of Commerce is composed of the important business element of this city, and for weeks preparations have beggoned ahead for this banquet. It has been handed throughout the country as a "possession and future language" because of the fact that the piece de resistance was Georgia opusum, a dish the President- elect had expressed himself as being very fond of. In the preparations for the banquet, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Asa G. Chandler, consulted Bishop Wheson J Games regarding a special meeting for the colored people where opportunity would be provided for Mr Taft to speak to them during his visit here. The statement has gone throughout the country that this arrangement was canceled several days ago by Mr Taft. This was due to the fact that representations were made to Mr K Hitchcock, chairman of the National Committee, to the effect that there was discontent among the Negroes When Bishop Games were to Augusta Ga. to see to it Mr Taft and Mr Hitchcock in person, the latter immediately removed any objections he had made because matters had not been properly presented to him and because he had acted under a misapprehension of the real facts. The Negro people of Atlanta follow the leadership of such colored men as Bishop Games, Rev H H Prostor, Hon H. A. Rucker, Dr H R Butler, Dr Moses Ames and men of that stamp, and this fact was impressed upon the President-elect and Mr Hitchcock not only by the Negro visitors who went to see him at Augusta, but also by the special committee from the Chamber of Commerce in charge of the arrangements for the Chamber of Commerce banquet Credit Dae Hibiscus Gaines The meeting of Bettel Charles at its oclock meeting of well dressed, intelligent colored people ever gathered here.

He stepped to the center of the hall smiling, and received a tremendous ovation, which lasted so long that Prof. Mimma called for order, after which you could hear a pin drop. Then Prof. An- JOHN H. HARRIS derson proceeded to make a neat little speech dedicated to Prof Mimms' class. He said in part: 'It was the only dancing class in New York City on Friday nights and was glad to see it supported so well.' Mr Mimms felt very much gratified to Prof Anderson for his timely remarks. Without a doubt Prof Mimms' audience is getting to see as popular as gallant will be in New York City, and would not be in it' he said. There are other reasons why it is popular. First, because it is centrally located and easy to reach from all parts of the city. Second, because it is a fine hall with an excellent dancing floor, and all the modern conveniences necessary. Third, because the way Prof Mimms assisted by Prof John H Ranks, conducted this class. Every evening brings a large crowd every Friday night to the Lincoln Square Palace 1279 Columbus avenue, between 61st and 61th streets.

The young men have a basketball team, the gymnasium is the meeting place for the young men of the city where in good fellowship and harmony they meet for no other purpose than wholesome exercise.

Twenty-eight are blacked out of a total of thirty-one compiled for larceny from the person, but grand larceny is equally divided among the races. There are almost twice as many whites having embazing records as blacks, and three times as many blacks. Obviously, by false pretenses, robbery the whites are almost twice as many, as the blacks. "The fair deduction," says the commission "desires to be that the crimes most common among Negroes are crimes of impulse or passion or petty thieving, while those among the white people crimes or cunning or larger thefts. The criminal instincts of the colored people are such as belong to the childhood of a race rather than such as require planning and deliberation. To those who believe that the Negro is incapable of dealing with the majority of manual training, the fact that so large a proportion of our prisoners are colored might be an argument against the introduction of varied forms of labor into the reformatory and perhaps an argument against the establishment of institutions the most skillful workmen have Negroes, and the answers from reformatory and prison officials which have been given to our questions upon this subject have been to the effect that shiffless and awkward specimens of this people are trained to train to competent and often highly efficient workmen. It seems little less than a mockery that members of the white race, in control of government, should declaim against the idle and vagrant character of the black people in the district (if were white), and yet when members of that race are arrested for leniency and vagrancy or vices and crimes that spring therefrom, that they should be shut up in narrow cells and given no form of labor whatever and almost no exercise in the community what reason is there to expect that they will be anything but idle and vicious?"

It is, in truth, an "organization" as its name implies, of the best musical and literary forces at the capital. It has been frequently held up as an exhibition of the organization not of an individual character for social purposes. Rumor has it that now and then the Muses and the Lists within closed doors have warm discussions, which is proper. We sincerely hope that factions will not dissolve the organization, and especially before it gives its proper form.

TAFT IN THE SOUTH "I only want to add what I always want to add before a colored audience, that you are Americana. I therefore ask you to be if the Lord spares me until the fourth of March. I must feel that I had not discharged my duty in coming into country and that I should not speak to the colored people, as an important part of the South, and an Americans entitled to the same and equal rights. I may give me to manifest with respect to a whole united people." President-elect Taft in Georgia, the heart of the Southland, speaks thus frankly his consideration for Negro opportunity and equal citizenship. Taft in the South, like Taft always and everywhere, is the courageous and constructive statesman. In language straight from the shoulder he condemns race prejudice, expresses his sympathy for the hard lot of the Negro race, and declares his purpose to help the race. Let us say to the Negroes of this country, you can best help laft remove the stumbling blocks of race prejudice and injustice from your path by helping yourself. Let the next four years of your life be years of honest and earnest effort. Respect the law, send your children to school, buy property, prove yourself worthy to be protected in your citizenship, and Taft can the more easily help to enforce your rights. The next administration we believe is going to be the golden era of Negro opportunity. We want you to grasp it. The South has not changed Taft. The South cannot take from him his inherited sympathy for and determination to help the Negro race. We say again what we have said before. Taft is one of the Negro's best friends since Lincoln. PAY THE MORTGAGE OFF. A mortgage of $3,000 still rests against the home of Frederick Douglass. In the common celebration on February 12 of the anniversaries of Lincoln and Douglass, no more fitting memorial can be made by the Negroes of this country than the payment of this mortgage. We wish to urge upon our people everywhere the need and value of such an observance of the day. Only thus can you express in deed your appreciation of the service of Douglass. Only thus can you truly show your reverence for the name of the great Negro leader. Collections should be taken at every Negro meeting. Every Negro should contribute his mite. Contributions sent to Dr Booker T Washington, Tuskegee, Alabama, or THE New York Age, New York, will be promptly acknowledged and forwarded. Pay the mortgage off "LIMBO OF FORGOTTEN ISSUES." The battle is on Like the little boy with his arrow going out to fight the battleship, ex-Associate Justice for the District of Columbia M F Morris has started out to repeal the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution. Writing in the North American Review for January the Southern jurist makes the startling discovery that the fifteenth amendment is not an amendment, but an "addition" to the Constitution, and consequently never legally valid. Couching his language in the latter resentment of the defeated rebels he gives a rehash of articulated Southern lore about "white supremacy" and "social equality." Deeply moved in his patriotic concern for his country's future this champion of political slavery sees in the last amendment a "perpetual source of irritation and annoyance to all true lovers of the country" a "fettering sore" to the white race a "suturation fraught with disaster" to the black race. When, however, ex Justice Morris says the "evasion of the provisions of the amendment has taxed the ingenuity of the South" he rightly accuses the South. True also is his statement that "the other section of the country has looked with complacency upon the effort to nullify". The South has done but little else since slavery but attempt to devise means to keep the Negro in commit wanton murder and are wantonly murdered; when the great Southern industries, cotton and tobacco, are paralyzed in several States by licentious bands of outlaws, rest assured, Southern Justice, that the Nation cannot always look "complacently" upon Southern outlawry By achievements and by a general progress, demonstrated beyond question to all minds not afflicted with Negromania, the Negro has proven his right to an equal citizenship. For the South to set any store by this nice constitutional distinction of "amendment and addition" is simply to waste further time. For Justice Morris to talk of "white supremacy" and "social equality" is simply to present again discarded academic rot. In the eyes of all progressive and unexcited men, as with President-elect Taft, the "repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment should be relegated to the limbo of forgotten issues." THE MURDER OF ARTHUR DAVIS. The wanton murder last week in Florence, South Carolina, of the unoffending and industrious young Negro, Arthur Davis, by the son of ex-State Senator Bigham and his companions to the number of eighty-five, on the trumped-up charge of beating a mule, reveals the depths of Southern degradation as well as the falsity of the excuse of rape for lynching. When white men will get together, out of pure malice, because they have the power, take out black men, known to be innocent of offense moral or criminal, and beat them to death, one may feel it his duty to call upon the Christian whites of that community to put down their vicious members. But when the educated sons of leading citizens reveal themselves as common murderers, such appeals are out of order—denunciation is useless The Negro can and need only stop and ask, What will the harvest be? Have the whites or the blacks of South Carolina suffered the more? As with the more than one hundred Negroes murdered by mobs last year, far less than one-half of whom were lynched on the charge of rape, the Negroes that suffer are the families of the victims The white community is forever marked by the blot of blot The thousands of the members of the mobs have been degraded The hundreds of thousands among their families and descendants have been influenced How much Negro labor will now leave Florence? How many of the much-sought foreign immigrants will now avoid South Carolina? What an example has the son of Senator Bigham set for the vicious and ignorant whites of South Carolina? The Charleston News and Courier may well raise the question as to whether "the people of Florence can enforce the criminal law" Though the Negro suffers, a harder Negro will survive. The whites may murder innocent Negroes, but a degraded white and a reign of poverty and vice survive. Slowly but surely, almost unopposed, the Southern whites, with an inherited and increasing lust for blood, are marching on in the shadow of the valley of death ```markdown ``` TILLMAN IN THE TOILS. Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, arch and ancient enemy of the Negro, has at last come to the bar of his own just judgment. Betrayed and convicted by his own words of attempting to defraud the government of much over a thousand acres of land, the "Tutchfork" Senator is now roasting and sputtering on the fork of the President's exposure. Thoroughly revealed, his power on the wane, the nation is virtually rid of the disgraceful figure in its government, the Negro of his most bitter and relentless foe. Senator Tillman is not another good man gone wrong, as has been said. But Senator Tillman is a bad man just found out. Long has he been given a hearing because, though blunt he was believed to be "ruggedly honest." Trying to cover his tracks by spectacularly disclaiming in the Senate last year, his advertised part in the steal of government lands he revils himself in his own true light, a practiced and base hypocrite. Demonizing his partner in the crime on the floor of the Senate though four class previously joined in their low and unblushing efforts, Senator Tillman reveals himself a morally sounded and an unfeeling migrate. Aussing the Negro of moral and intellectual inferiority. Senator Tillman could not point out a Negro so devalued and lost to all moral sense of feeling and delicacy. Acusing the Negro as criminal this mean man sitting in the seats of the mighty paid to protect his country to traitor to his trust uses his high office to cheat his fellow countrymen of their equal share of the public land habitually breaks the law of the franking privilege to cheat the government of the ptance of postage. A poser of purity and intellectual superiority. Senator Tillman stands deepyed in guilt. A greatest of grafters, the most wicked of demagogues, in revealing Tillman President Roosevelt has freed the Negro and the roast of a millstone about their necks. PRESIDENT LOWELL OF HARVARD. The Negro$ of this country especially should feel pleased in the election of Professor A. Lawrence Lowell to the presidency of Harvard University. As the most revered and greatest of American educational institutions, Harvard has stood for equal opportunity for all. Upon that basis of "a fair field and no favors" the cream of Negro youth for over a generation has gone to Harvard and proven the merit of the race. Since the days of the first Negro graduate, Prof Richard T. Greener, 1870, ex-Consul to Vladivostock, many names written high upon her proud rolls of scholars, orators, debaters and athletes are those of Negroes. These names include such students as Prof. Dubois, Clement G Morgan, commencement and class day orators respectively in 1890; Roscoe Conkling Bruce, class day orator in 1902; Allen Leroy Locke, 1908, prize student and Oxford University scholarship holder, and such famous athletes as William H Lewis, head of Boston's Naturalization Bureau; Napoleon B Marshall and William C Matthews Worthy son of a long line of noble friends of the Negro. Prof Lowell brings intact to his new office the New England love of justice and hatred of proscription. Thoroughly informed on political conditions and an unbiased authority on government, Harvard's new head has been an outspoken and honest lecturer. He has been eminently fair to Negro students, with a helpful and wholesome sympathy for their position Under President Lowell the Negro may rest assured that Harvard will continue her equal opportunity—that the educational draught to the top for Negro youth in this country will remain open DISCRIMINATION IN NEW YORK. DISCRIMINATION IN NEW YORK.

In future we are going to call attention from time to time to other instances of its violation. The date is far too late for respectable colored men and women to be humiliated in public places. In the past discrimination has persisted because examples have not been made of offenders, and because, to our shame, our public-spirited men have been lax and negligent. We call upon our citizens to accept no humiliation. We call upon our public men and women to awake! Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty! --- THE PITY OF ATLANTA: According to the news dispatches which come to us, the Afro-Americans in the city of Atlanta have not deported themselves in reference to President elect Taft's visit to Atlanta in a way to reflect credit upon the race. There is no city in the country where so much money is being spent for the higher education of the Negro as in Atlanta. There is no city perhaps where there are so many educated strong leaders. It does seem that of all these men with force of character, including college presidents, professional men and high churchmen, some one or ones would have been strong enough to have controlled the situation, to have brought about enough unity and peace to allow Secretary Taft to speak to the colored people in an orderly manner without the disgraceful and needless local contentions which have disgraced them. In all such matters we must learn that individuals must sink their own ambition, and will in many cases, in order to serve the highest good of the whole Atlanta so far as the Negro element it is concerned has not deported itself in the manner that we had hoped. What is the need of college presidents and college professors if they cannot control such situations? If President Lafayette had decided to take out into the country to address the Negro audience the leaders in the country would have gotten together and have agreed upon a common program that would have been satisfactory to all. Let our race in Atlanta begin to think about their action. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS Crisis Romantic Sum I am a Roman citizen was the prodest boast of the Roman. The Guldest compliment and greatest encouragement ever given to Negroes in three words are those of President John L. You are Americans. The Southwestern Christian Advocate coming to the defense of the young Negro quotes the New York Times to the effect that the property holdings of young Negroes in Georgia had increased from $14,106,735 in 1881 to $23,750,219 in 1896, while the older generation had increased their property holdings from $5,183,398 to $18,328,003 for the same period, we suppose. We would remind our contemporary that while figures do not lie, figures may be made to say almost anything That Pitchfork Ben should sputter away until thoroughly done as he roasts on the fork of the President's exposure is perfectly natural. Not to console, but to remind the dying gladiator who never lost an opportunity to prong the Negro: "As ye measure so shall it be measured unto you again" "Zeke" Moore, the Creek freedman and ex-convict by a decision of United States Circuit Court, Judge R.

Zeke was tainted, but tainted for Zeke to be tainted more. Architect W. Sidney Pitman wins out in a solid field of Caucasians and receives $3,000 as his fee for drawing the plans for the $95,000 public school building at Garfield. District of Columbia Despite his famous father-in-law, Mr Pitman seems to be the architect of his own fortune Tennessee has granted a charter to the Pythian Bank Trust Company of Shelby County. This bank, together with the beautiful seven-story temple of the Knights in New Orleans, show that the Pythians are making imitations in finance something harder even than the floor of their lodge rooms. Following suit, some of the older orders of goat riders are apparently taking notice. The Farmers' Improvement Society of the State of Texas, with a membership of 10,000, contemplate opening their second Negro bank in Fort Worth, capitalized at $50,000. Now, for a Negro organization to have two banks, and one with a capital stock of $50,000, seems pretty big, but let me tell you that the president, Hon R I. Smith, is a big man among men Bishop C S Smith reports that since the burning of the churches and schoolhouses near Albany, Ga, the white people have united with the colored people as never before to rebuild them. May the good work go on, but an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. William D. Neighbors & Co., of Chicago, is reported by the National Negro Business League as conducting a building and loan association, capitalized at $100,000, and being one of the biggest and most successful real estate firms in the West. Moreover, this Negro firm are neighbors to some of the shrewdest men in the business According to the last statement of the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company, of Memphis, Tenn., established two years ago, the company has had total deposits of $80,941,42, and is in a healthy condition. Until the bank changes its name we shall always assume that. There are twelve Negro building and loan associations in North Carolina, situated in Greensboro, High Point, Durham, Raleigh, Fayetteville, Wilson, Rocky Mount, Littleton, Wilmington, Asheville, Newborn and Goldsboro. To note the building the Negroes are doing throughout North Carolina one would think there were more than that The picture of Levi Colburt, the Atlanta Negro, run in so many papers as the catcher of the Taft 'possum, shows that the Negroes are indispensable not only in the industry, but in providing the necessities of life in Georgia as well ATLANTA NEGROES GIVE THE LIE. Black Voters Entitled to Southern Appreciation, sara Southern, Journal "The Negro voters of Atlanta are entitled to the appreciation of the public for the high sense of citizenship they exhibited yesterday in supporting Mr. Maddox and the cause of good morals. It is an evidence of the team in which the best element of our population holds the duties of citizenship and growing regard for higher civic and domestic ideals." This high praise of the colored voter from Hoke Smith in wipers the Atlanta Ga. Journal and applauded immediately after the recent mayoral election in that city. This Journal is the same newspaper which under the mallon influence of Governor Smith had been for months present to the disfranchisement of the Negro last November dwelling on the cells resulting not from Negro domination but from Negro attribution at the polls. It brought out all the feminist arguments to the necessary dominance of the black in the unrelievable position and general power of the man. Yet when it came for the Negro to cast his last vote before being disfrused, the black was allied himself squarely with the refusal elements and added in defeating fat to election the dekunkard who had been Mayor for some time past. If they were all that the Journal has painted them the colored citizens of that city would have voted overwhelmingly for the defeated candidate.

Exchange Respecting poll taxes, citizenship, citizen rights and that kind of thing, the Freeman averted that if there were from Houston qualified Negro votes in Houston who were not to vote at the ensuing city election and the subsequent elections in 1909 that the Negroes in Houston as a class would be reckoned with and in the same way as the Negroes in Houston who were not to vote at city election. To do this, however, it is not necessary to pay our poll taxes now — The Texas Freeman The Hon. Mr Ben Tillman again shows what noble stuff he is made of.

We believe that all public institutions supported in whole or in part by the public funds should be open to all citizens without regard to race, creed or religious beliefs, and should be unified in schools should be mixed, or that patients of opposite races in the hospitals and asylums be indiscriminately huddled in the wards, but it means that the equal accommodations, protection and comforts be provided all the patrons of any of these races, and should be unified in schools should willingly concede this much, no one should ask more—The Kentucky Torchlight President-elect Taft inspires increasing confidence in the coming administration every time he opens his mouth, begins with his deliverance on the race, and his message to the South before the North Carolina Society, his utterances have all been pitched above mere politics, away into the zone of statesmanship.

It is a peculiar fact that the majority of the Negroes in this country as well as other races of refinement and culture count it a high privilege to shower bouquets upon the caskets of their loved ones after the spirit of life has left the body and the soul has taken its flight to the God who gave it. This method of honoring the dead is a grand and glorious custom, most especially in our Southland, and God forbid that any one should do or say anything against it. But we were impressed with the idea that it would not be out of place for us to digress for a moment from the long-established custom of "All Saints' Day" floral offerings to the dead, and for once we use a bunch of flowers at a living man in order that he may enjoy the sweet smell of the roses once in his natural life. The man whom the common people would thus delight to honor is none other than the Hon S W Green, Supreme Chancellor of the Supreme Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of N A, S A, E, A, A, and A, and also Grand Chancellor of the Grand Lodge of K of P of Louisiana. There is no man in the State to whom the people owe a greater debt of gratitude than what is due to this man and his administration In our estimation, as well as many of the business men of the State, both white and colored, he stands second to none as a leader of his race. When we take into consideration the disadvantages under which he has labored, the trials he has endured, the victories he has won, we contend that too much praise cannot be given him. If for no other reason, he should be praised for his honesty, probity and judicious management of the finances of the Grand Lodge of K of P of Louisiana. And then again he should be praised in his accomplishing the hazardous task of erecting under his administration the commodoious, beautiful and magnificent Pythian Temple. He has not only reared a monument to the honor and pride of the Pythian Brotherhood of the Pelican State and the public in general, but he has forever redeemed the good name of Louisiana's colored sons. Not only has he torn into threads the charge of incapability and unfitness for business; accomplishments that is so often lodged against the colored man of the South, but he has convinced the nations of the earth that there are yet men in the State of Louisiana of the Negro race who are as competent to do business as there are anywhere under the sun. In plainer words, he has placed the colored men of his own State in the front ranks of the leading men of the world. What makes this man greater still, position, money nor honor do not seem to spoil him. The door of his home swings on hinges that open day and night to give welcome admittance to all who desire to enter. And he seems to delight himself in mingling with the common people. No honest man would be ashamed of him as a leader. Maryland Not Alone, Mr. Taft Mr Taft's specific condemnation of the proposed Maryland amendment has called fresh attention to the fact that the very similar schemes for disfranchising illiterate Negroes, without disfranchising illiterate whites, have been operating in Louisiana and that caribou for substantially a decade without enfranchising check from the Federal court. The Louisiana amendment was adopted about 1898, and the North Carolina amendment in 1900. Several efforts have been made to tenure the constitutionality, yet counsel for the Negroes that never been able to frame a case so that they could Supreme Court would be forced to meet squarely the constitutional issue. Such decisions as have been rendered have tended to give support to these devices for notifying the fifteenth amendment to the Federal Court. American judges appear to be persuaded. American judges are to avoid testing the constitutional question, their hidden motive, apparently rising from a belief that as a practical modus vivendi the Southern disfranchise them in our time.

In the history of our Government if not in the names of juraphridence there has never been such an example of high courage and mastery of arbitrary power. New York Sun "About the time I began my enterprise in Rochester I chanced to spend night and a day under the roof of a man whose character and conversation and whose objects and alms in life made a very deep impression upon my mind and heart. His name had been mentioned to me by several promising colored men, among whom, were Rev. Henry Hyland Garnet and J. Loguen. In speaking of him, the voices would drop to a whisper, what they said of him made me eager to see and know him. Fortunately, I was invited to see him in own house. At the time to which, now refer this man was a respectful merchant in a populous and thriving city, and our first place of meeting was at his store. "It is said that a house in some measure reflects the character of its occupants. This one certainly did. In there were no disguises, no illusions, make-believes. Everything implied true truth, solid purpose and rigid economy. I was not long in company with the master of this house before I discovered that he was indeed the master it, and was likely to become mine if I stayed long enough with his. Certainly I never felt myself in the presence of a stronger religious fluence than while in this man's house. In person he was lean, strong, sinewy, of the best New England man built for times of trouble, fitted to grapple with the fintiest hardship. Clad in a plain American woolen, in boots of cowhide leather, and wearing a cavat of the same substantial material, under six feet high, less than 150 pounds in weight, aged about fifteen he presented a figure straight and symmetrical as a mountain pine. His beating was singularly impressive. His head was not large, but compact at high. His hair was coarse, strong, slightly, gray, and closely trimmed, as greywel low on his forehead. His hair was smooth-shaved and revealed a strong square mouth supported by broad and prominent chin. His eyes were blush gray, and in conversation he was full of light and fire. When on the street he moved with a long spring, racehorse step, absorbed his own reflections, neither seeking a shunning "conversation" with man whose name I had heard in his pers; such was the spirit of his hair and family; such was the house which he lived, and such was Captain John Brown, whose name has passed into history as one of the most marked characters and greatest hero known to American fame. " • • • He denounced slavery look and language fierce and bitter thought that slaveholders had forfeit their right to live, that the slaves had the right to gain their liberty in a way they could, did not believe the moral suasion would ever liberate the slave or that political action would abolish the system " • • • His plan as it then lay in his mind had much in pose, contemplation, a general uprising among the slaves and a general slur of the slave masters, a general insult, he thought, would only defeat the object, but his plan did contemplate the creating of an armed force which should act in the very heart of the South." "But you might be surrounded and cuff off from your provisions or means of subsistence." I suggested. I thought that could not be done by they could not cut their way out, but even if the worst came he could but he killed and he had no better use for his life than to lay it down in the cause of the slave. He observed that I might have noticed the simple manner in which he lived adding that he had adopted this method in order to save money to carry out his purpose. This was said in no beautiful tone, for he felt that he had delayed already to long and had no room to boast either of his real or his self-deal. Had some men made such display of rigid virtus I should have resisted it as false and hypothetical but in John Brown I felt it to be as real as iron or granite from this might seem with John Brown.

Page Reads Paper Pittsburgh, Jan 19—Until a few weeks ago, interest had temporarily subsided the matter of the Negro citizens establishing a hospital in this city, but at this writing one of the principal topics being discussed is. "Shall Pittsburgh have two Negro hospitals?" There has been interest in the field of Negro hospital and to be called the Carnegie Hospital, which is seeking an appropriation from the State. In the meantime the organizers of the Booker T Washington Hospital, which has been in existence a number of years, are seeking an appropriation from the State. It is doubtful if both institutions are given financial recognition The management of the Booker T Washington has become active and Advisory No. 4 of that institution is issued a letter for an appointment to be held at a near date at the residence of Mrs J W Beckett This will be the first meeting held for several weeks. Seeing the need of a hospital in this city, some of our most prominent women organized an association to a board and purchased a two-story frame building which has been vacant since November. This association is known as the Booker T. Washington Hospital and Nurse Training School, and has about fifty members. Things worked out when another hospital on the north side that was receiving a $3,500 appropriation from the State Efforts were then made to secure a State appropriation for the Booker T. Washington Hospital. That information could be considered reliable sources, that the State would not appropriate to two Negro hospitals, and that the only way to get a State appropriation would be for the two to consolidate and change the name. The hospital on the north side is known as the Hospital and Nurse Train the School. Having heard so much talk of consolidation of the two hospitals, your correspondent made efforts to ascertain the nature of the interview, but could not give any information other than the bad feelings of strife which seemingly exist between some members of both associations which were interviewed, and asked which of the hospital movements he was supporting, the doctor laughingly declared, both "The feelings of envy and strife by some members of both associations than both associations are trying to give the community what is so much needed." continued the doctor, "is a hostile spirit hard to believe any body of intelligent people in both hospitals." Page further remarked that he knew doctors who are connected with ten different hospitals, and expressed the hope that one or the other, or both, would be able to help the city what it should have had years ago. --- Butte efforts were made to interview battles. The staff who were to be interested in one of the hospitals and at whose office meetings in the interest consolidation are reported to have been held Prof John D Mahoney, representing the Carysburg Hospital, and who is also in charge of the Avery Mission School on the north side, was the next one interviewed. When asked about the connection between the two hospitals, the honey replied that his organization had the money, and for this reason did not feel that it would be justice to equally divide the Board of Trustees with the Booker T Washington Hospital. This question, continued the speaker is, the stumbling block over which we have been faced is the amount of money he has $125,000, and are receiving from the State an appropriation of $3,500 weekly. It is the consensus of opinion that the Booker T. Washington Hospital is the only chartered institution of its kind in the city and had they continued work with the same sim with which they have been successful in making valuable property unoccupied for the benefit of have a house furnished and full of patients. Rev W W Brown pastor of the Ebenhzer Baptist Church one of the strongest churches in the city is said to have remarked in a lecture recently that Washington called on him to have a raised a collection of $100 for their work. Everybody is hoping for renewed energy. The Lloyds Club has added to its usefulness to the city and race in a manner that will cause its name to live long after present members are dead. Mention has been made of the Lloyds Building and Loan Association, a branch of the club which has secured a charter and several thousand of dollars' worth of stock has been sold and it is safe to say in a few months the organization will be engaged in the building and building an manner that will give an impact on one of our worths in young men and men. No sooner than they succeeded in putting this branch of the club on a substantial working basis a series of lectures are given in the parlor and in the room every Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. The first was delivered by Attorney J. Ames, the second was spoken on the Ancient Mystery Museum himself and the speaker proved himself an expert in well as an expert speaker. In the second it was shown that the Negro played his part in the war and was sent to the Mystery Museum. He was appointed and after speaking in giving terms of the Amount Negro praised the Mystery and printed an enclosing notice of the future Negro in the Mystery Museum. Miss Sara B. Writtleb took the opportunity to sing in the usual manner. The latter last Sunday was delivered by Dr. James A. Page, Dr. Page as a lecturer in the city. He had shown that he was a living being who has given great service to the Mystery Museum and the Negro was a part of it. Negro is the world's only man who has a second child, and the first man to be born in 1900. He is the only man who has a second child, and the first man to be born in 1900. Mrs. Bryant Tallferro rendered an in strumental selection which was enjoyed by all, also a solo by Miss Sisle Bowler was especially good. Much credit is in Mr. George Elliott, chairman of the Board, for the success of these Sunday meetings. Preparations are being made by the East End Royal Court of Ladies, Masonic Order, for a grand entertainment and reception in June. Noble John G. Jungen, of Chicago, will tell the Ladies' Court, and deliver a lesson. While this lecture will the interest of the Ladies' Court, the public generally will be invited. Dr G H. Bolling is doing a nice practice on the East End. He is deserving of the high esteem in which he is biased. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. James Young, of the East End, will rejoice to know that their little son, George Aaron Burton, is convalescence Mrs. Ross, wife of Mr. Chas. L.

Rev Willis Duvall, of Orange, Va. has been in the city conducting festival services at Rodman Street Baptist Church. Forty members were added to the church. Mr H Burchett, proprietor of the only blacksmith shop in the Fifth Ward, has sold out and left the city for the Ward. The Redrocs dining and lunch room, 188 Frankstown avenue, E. E., is growing in popularity each week. Mrs. B Redrocs is proprietress, and her daughter, Miss Redrocs, is in charge of the dining room. The commitment of the Mercedes Club Friday evening, January 8, 1906, was a grand success. SENATOR BUCKELEY, THE NEGRO'S FRIEND. Keney Park Laundry Started by Young Men. Hartford, the capital of the State of Connecticut, has had a busy and exciting week at the State Capitol. The con- ference was held at the Brandegee and Representative Congressman Hill, who run for the United States Senate. Senator Brandagee was re-elected for six years by 129. It has been a hard fight between the friends of the two gentlemen. We are proud that Senator Buckley, whose term does not expire for four years, has returned to the United States Senate, for in him the Negroes have a strong friend and a man who will always stand by the rights of all men alike. United States Senator Morgan O'Rourke was a strong supporter of his friend Brandagee. We will say of Senator Buckley that he is one of the finest and noblest gentlemen of our State, and has always been a friend to our race and stands as a peer in the United States Senate to defend the rights of the colored man as a citizen of this country Governor Buckley, as we know him at home here, we, the colored people of Hartford, simply love him for his goodness and his fairness and the interest that he takes in our people. His private messenger is one of our leading colored men in the Acta Life Insurance Company. Mr Charles W. Custus. All of the janitors in the Acta Life Insurance Building are colored. He is the most delightful gentleman and we are proud that we have two such men as Senator Brandagee and Senator Buckley in the United States Senate to stand by the rights of all men alike. I will say that there are no appointments of our race in any department of our present Legislature; perhaps there is a reason for it. That remains to be seen. The company of our entering young men, in the last few weeks, have organized a business enterprise known as the Kenney Park Laundry, 1014, Martin street. Mr Lewellyn Davia, president; Mr John Rodgers, vice-president; and Mr Samuel Campbell, manager. They did kinds of laundry work, including the finest lace curtains and draperies. It is a most landable enterprise and we wish our new company much success. Mr Horace Hitchings, janitor of the Phoenix Life Insurance Building one of the most well-known gentlemen of the city, was stricken a few days ago with pneumonia. We are glad that it is now thought that he is out of danger. We assemble with Mr and Mrs Hitchings in their benearness, for only a few weeks ago his nephew was taken to a hospital that he is not filling temporarily the place of his uncle. We mentioned in last week's issue the promotion of Mr. Holmes to be head water of the Hartford Club. We are proud that Mr. Holmes has such a fine set of young men to sustain him in the Hartford Club. We have to perform at the Hartford Club. Lincoln Institute Notes. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Jan 19—Mon Jan. January 4. found faculty and students of Lincoln Institute back in their places ready for work after a round of holidays. Many new students have matriculated with the beginning of the new year and are now hard at work. The Missouri Legislature is in session and many legislators with their families represent them already come out to visit the institution. It is interesting to note that the gavels used in the Senate and the House of Representatives were made by young men in the Mechanical Department were installed in the Lincoln Institute and both Houses with hearty applause. In fact nothing but good words are heard in all sides from the legislators relative to the excellent work that is being done at Lincoln Institute. Gavels of the institution who are now teaching were present at the recent teachers association assembled in Kansas City. Houston Schwouth, alumnus of U.S. law, a student in the medical department at the University, attended a class of one hundred and fifty in a recent examination. Peteraburg.

A most interesting paper and discussion was the theme of the Bettel preachers' meeting on last Monday. Rev. Dr. Daniel Hammil only treated the question, "Methodist Training As It Relates to salvation." The essay written out Methodist preachers set contrasted the present-day attitude of the Church toward the same. The meeting was intensely interesting and enjoyable. At the Ministerial Alliance today, composed of all the city clergy, the Rev. W. Edward Williams, pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church, presented a most interesting and persuasive case issued by the brethren present. The Ministerial Alliance is composed of the various pastors in the city, has promoted a large amount of good feeling and fellowship upon the part of the brethren, and is doing much toward unifying the forces of our people for all good works. Dr. L. Z Johnson is the able and efficient permanent secretary of the Alliance. The popular pastor of Trinity A M E Church, the Rev Dr A L Gaines, has been quite sick, but is now much improved and able to be about his work. He is a man of great intellect, Knights of Pythias will tender a banquet to the prominent attorney, and Pythian, Mr Thomas L Jones, of Washington, D C. at the residence of Mr Joshua Diggis, Dr Hill avenue, D C, D F Bradley, Dr James J Staines, Church, Sunday morning peached on the subject of "Marriage and Family Life." He pointed out many of the evils of marriages as are not contracted, reverently, discreetly, adversely, or in any other way. He dwelt upon the sacredness of this early institution of Almighty God, and the utter human folly of attempting to "dissolve" what God "hath joined together." Unquestioned loyalty to God, he pointed out from unharming domestic life. Mr Thaddeus Copeland, who is so well and generally known as the successful upholsterer and mattress manufacturer, has recently added another line of business to the company. The Belair Market with a full and well assorted supply of fine hams, shoulders, bacon, pork, and lard. He is the pioneer in that particular business in that market. In the Lafayette Market, in the Northwest section, he is the market business, five of whom are pork dealers. Mr W. F DePardeleen, who came to our city from Montclair, N. J., to assume the secretaryship of the Y M C A, is meeting with much favor and support. He needs to have the right practical ideas for such expansion of Y M C A work as will make it more than simply a praise or prayer meeting, but rather an earnest and aggressive effort to reach men and care for their physical health. The most necessary work are most bright. The Helping Hand Association and Catholic Club is an organization of colored women members of the Roman Catholic Church in the city. I was done a good job assisting with organizing priests of that particular church, and also assisting theological students preparing for the priesthood. Mrs Mary Jackson is the president of this organization and Mrs Mary Dorses is secretary. The President Hospital of this city, has recently established in connection therewith a free dispensary for the benefit of the sick and poor of the city. Dr. Harry S. McCard and brother attorney William F. McCard will, however, be escorted for the illness, whither they will to escort the remains of their late mother, Mrs Elizabeth C.

To the colored people this has meant his helpless and treacherous by imposing the savest penalty upon Negro prisoners brought into his court. Not only this but when ever an opportunity presented it off in interviews in the daily papers then his gossip goes about the Negro.

KEYEN, Superintendent. Music and the Stage EDITED BY LESTER A. WALTON WILLIAM H. HARRIS THEATRICAL COMMENT --- NOW we are being inflicted with an other would be sensational dance—one even more disgusting than "Salome." While the popular life of "Salome" was short that of the new dance will be even shorter. It is called the "Apache," and has been imported from Paris, where it is said to be a full among the denizens of the lower world. Two people are required to dance the "Apache"—usually a male and a female and it pales into significance the "show drag." The "Apache" made its New York debut several weeks ago in a musical show which was severely handled by every newspaper critic in Manhattan, yet it seems to be enlowing popularity from certain quarters, because of the vulgar suggestiveness attending each performance, one of the features being the "Apache." The new dance has already entered vaudeville, and while its initial appearance was not accompanied by the blowing of horns as was "Salome," it is here, nevertheless, for a very limited engagement. At one of the leading variety houses last week the Apache was presented, and at the finish one would have imagined he was sitting in a Hoboken flat at 12 o'clock at night—so quiet was the theatre. Just why managers must on burdening the public with such obnoxious dances is a mystery. There is going to be something done before long in the vaudeville world that is likely to alter the complexion of things considerably. To use the old adage "Where there's so much smoke there must be fire" (or words to that effect) can be rightly applied to the present vaudeville situation. Every day one learn an interesting account of some new combination being formed—and the writer believes new alliances are being made at this writing. Instud of morality establishing a chain of theatres to be ultimately gobbled up by the United Booking people, as was first presumed would be the result. William Morris is going merrily on buying more playhouses and establishing a stronger circuit each week. Last week he attracted attention by purchasing a house for vaudeville in Chicago, and deals have also been closed for the theatres in St Louis Kansas City and Indianapolis. But the most starting piece of information that has been made public property, (although used in the usual confidential matters) is the report that Martin Beck has decided to have the United people and form a combination with Morris—the savve Pat Cress to go along with them. Until he became a full fledged booking agent on his own hook Pat Cress was the right hand man of William Morris, and took in active part in the administration of the Morris office when the firm booked for Klaw and Erlanger at the time the United Booking office and Kuw and Erlanger were at war in vaudeville. It has been known for some time that Martin Beck has not been satisfied with his status in the United Booking office, and has been desirous of withdrawing the powerful Orpheum Circuit from the Keith-Proctor-Hammerstein-Williams combination. The writer predicts that announcement will be made before spring of a new vaudeville circuit in which William Morris will be a commanding figure. There are many other rumors affloat, such as Poth contemplates giving his New England houses over to Morris for booking, and that Percy Williams and Willie Hammerstein intend to book together, but these reports have not occasioned the same amount of theatrical gossip as has the probable Morris, Beck Casey alliance. --- --- Cleo Desmond and Rachel Buley are one time members of the vaudeville town of Harper, Desmond and Buley, have formed a sister act and are now appearing in vaudeville as Desmond and Buley. Both of these young women are attractive in appearance and talented and when they make a number of changes in their new skirt they should have one of the best sister acts in the business. If they are not favored with a large amount of booking in the near future the writer will be very much surprised. It is to be hoped that the team will not find it necessary to bill themselves as the "Two Creole Maids" the "Duplex Beauties" nor pass for white" on the stage, as we would like to have one good sister act in vaudeville known to the public as being a strictly colored act direct from 133th street. However of the managers get busy and seek to show them that it will be necessary to appear other than as members of the Negro race—for business reasons then they had better head such advice and "g" on the other side" so it turns to their professional life is concerned. These managers are a strange lot. Of late, the majority of colorful women who successfully appear in vaudeville minus a gent, are told to "cut out" their racial identity, while on the other hand the same managers are forming many black face acts in which they make the white women use cock and curl their hair. But we guess they know what they are about. But the new Desmond and Buley act it is strictly a singing skirt without any undue attention being given to dancing. They know full well that with so many good dancers in the business bad judgment is used by mediocre dancers taking themselves seriously as dancers. The opening and closing numbers are exceptionally good, and the costumes used in the last song—Miss Desmond dressed in overall, shirt and broad-brimmed hat. Miss Buley in a little apron and sun bonnet—is particularly pleasing Monday evening, at the Columbia Theatre, Brooklyn, there were several stage waits, owing to the inability of the stage hands to get the piano on and off the stage in double quick time. No matter how good an act is going, stage waits are bound to decrease interest and make hard work for the performer. It is a bad idea, anyway, to not a piano in one, as does Miss Desmond. She is compelled to sit with her back toward the audience and only those seated in the boxes are able to see her face. It the act was done in full stage, it would be a different matter. As it is a singing act we would suggest that Miss Desmond sing the chorus of "Happiness," instead of talking at which would be more effective. The act is dressed neat and the two young women are peculiarly fitted for a successful sister act, being small and vivacious, and a good singer of coon songs while the other is tall and chic, and possesses an excellent soprano voice for the resolution of high class numbers. ```markdown ``` SHOW ME.

SHOULD JOHNSON DRAW COLOR LINER W OULDN'T let his cousin get back Johnson would get it into his head to show the color line and refuse to fight any white man at least for a couple of days. But it would be amusing to resemble the color race, but to the white fighters, and their friends it would be regarded as a calamity. We do not know of any law that gives a white fighters the right to refuse to meet colored fighters, and on the other hand, makes it compulsory for Negroes to fight their white brothers of the pugilistic world whenever the latter scout. It Johnson wants to create a sun sattin, and occupy a unique position among the fighters as a world champion, let him at least temporarily draw the color line, and give the white tighter a taste of his own medicine. It would be a great spectacle to see Jeffries following Johnson around the world, trying to get on a smooth, particularly after he has been such an ardent devotee and supporter of tattos as worked elsewhere—the color line. Judging from the daily runnings in the newspaper, Jack Johnson's victories over Lemona. But must have included been a most bitter and bitter pit for some of our tell what. Americans will show in the town where we believed to believe that the prison wing press was taking going on, the rising to continue the news that he never been a Burke. He got it, and Negro is not amputated to the wrist. The only hope is that the Crown seems to be connected to Jim Johnson. Return to the ring. He is to look, write man whom it is thought has a look in with Johnson. As the result he is receiving to grants and letters night and day from every point in the United States in which he is asked on behalf of knights to enter the truss and bring back the title to the white race. Up to this time Jeffries is removed to oblige and refuses to hold the inmates safe to war for the race sake. However he is in training and we would not be surprised to hear before long that he has decided to forget his strong prejudice against fighting a colored man and make a match with the Negro champion. Providing such a match was made, there would probably be night for at least a year in the first place, it would take Jeffries six months to get in touch with Jack Johnson. It would be two months in slow of the large sum of money and make it in making in the slow business. Just how deep the secret of the state will be determined he is still not told. Mr. Adluffe who is thinking it lacks a tow day. I think Jeffries all night just to get back to the rest of his book. It is getting to him what his book is doing with a six months training he has not against being in. Since I have already been whipped but we have trained the following point what a white fighter's stand on the color line. To be summoned up in a toy world when he (the white fighter's champion and is afraid of a Negro contender for the wrestlers but some becomes prophet and draws the color line. But when the Negro contender the honored position he is willing to target about the color line "humble" himself by battling with a Negro and take a chance at coming out first best in a match. The writer believes that Jeffries is now doing a training stunt to determine if it is possible for him to get into trouble enough condition to wait. It he becomes convinced that he can put up a good fight the paper will short for aid in big type. Jeffries to Reenter Ring." As more whites fighters Jeffries is not patient of whipping him. He is not to meet the challenge he has to fight with the colors.

It proved to be the third double-head victory for the Smart Set within a period of ten days, and was quite remarkable from several standpoints. According to schedule the preliminary game was to have been played by the Smart Set Jumers and the St. Anson Jumers of Brooklyn.

The handsome gowns worn by the ladies, and the gentlemen all in full dress had such a rich effect that for a white I was in dreamland.
