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. TWENTY ONE GRADUATES Movement to Improve Training School To Rules Half Written Dollars To Raise Half Million Dollars. You are one young colored women received diplomas from the Training School for Nurses of the Lincoln Hospital and Home on Southern Boulevard and 141st street at its annual commencement January 14. Robert C Ogden presided, and many friends and supporters of the institution were present.

Six of the graduates came from Virginia a three from New York two from Georgia New Jersey and the West Indies and one cash from Delaware Missouri Missouri West Virginia North Carolina California and Hawaii. As nurses trained according to the highest professional standards they will take up their work in hospitals and among their two people throughout the country. A hundred graduates of this institution have already been sent out to carry on such work. To monitor and extend this Training School and Huse for the Negro race as well as the hospital for whites and Negroes alike which is the largest private one in this city the managers of the institution have announced that an endowment fund of half a million dollars would be raised in the name of Lincoln on the grounds of his birth.

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. F Hall in the Fourth Ward with the following officers present: President W F Bledsoe, of Marshall; Secretary F W Gross, of Houston, and Treasurer Joseph Nichols, of Houston.

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. Johnson, of New York, by President Roosevelt to be Consul at Corinto, Nicaragua, has been confirmed by the Senate. Mr Johnson is a brother of J. Rosamond Johnson of Cule & Johnson. 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 Be ee RE aT Pe rere tera haa Ne NC ROM ERENT ROM TR TRUE RRR re Re eee ER MENTS RR ee el” Ne ATLANTA NEGROES |25203 3 ethcartis [a arte Sole om oat ef GEE) to nee t Be EE ime Ot thal have a senatat Pe tat it| 3) "AND '°331 WES’ TO LET HE, ‘AR: T, ‘AFT SPE, ‘AK forty year ato, xem, peorle "were not os ive a real spirit ¢f—I had al- a ‘ I WEST BO West 00th Street — Fa iene ada | ne neater ty a Ge | SMR STREET | sRamererea ctw De . : cent, of | white all the aid and stance ‘ At Bethel Church—Large | irt,stt 2am, 70m 22 | and lhe patiy due np TO LET Sie and Representative [after si case™ fa shy swe,them. considering the circum-| Nice Apartments of 3 and 4 large | 99 wits Net PORDAN B, re sht rooms Imnnov R S roar Audience Present, [iar degra wt cae | eee eae ee ene Re tnd hea ‘made’ the anbject of a bloods | of the great inellggeat boty of hae [ove $18 Per month.

On Jan 10, the church was visited by the pastor, who was pleased with the work being done at Metropolitan church. Last Sunday Metropolitan suffered with the other churches in point of attendance. Rev. Fernanders prays at both services. Rev. Fernanders helps meet in Rev. Fernanders' makes an active part in all the church work. Mt. Olivet Baptist Church. Suffering from a similar interest in the other churches, the adult audience is considerably decreased at all of the times due to the weather. The revival pathways with unhated goal.

The usual service in the morning at 11 a.m was the best attended of all Rev Dr Ramson attended from the subject "Jesus of Nazareth Passeth By." The retreat at another space was manifest. A Rev Dr Ramson joined the church the afternoon at 1 p.m a special meeting was held for them. Dr Ramson addressed the press meeting "On the Making of Man." Mr. Glarence C.

St Cyprian Church nearer the institutional church than the church in the town with its religious life with religion. other features identified with the institution which is asserting an influence for good along the spiritual and moral lives of the young men and women of the neighborhood and city. Rev Johnson realizes that there are men and women in which he can work and women can be brought into the church, and as the result organized a well-equipped gymnasium where they may come and exercise, thereby keeping off the streets and resorting to other forms of nutrition not so successful. 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. From the gymnasium the young man realizes that the next step will be to join the church, and the next step will be to join the church of his choice. In this nanny Johnson is doing dual work for the young men and women of our neighborhood. St. Cyprian Church is one of the youngest of the Episcopal missions and an offshoot of St. Philip's Church Rev Johnson's work commenced to the people of New York.

C., Jan. 17—The jovial character of President-elect William Howard Taft is recognized by the news reports from Atlanta anent the publication of "Teddy Bear" by the Rilly-Possum and certain postprandial utterances of the chief to be done. Those in charge of inaugural affairs at the capital have decided to procure the best of juviality and pleasure for March 4. A type of the quality of inaugural preparation is displayed by the advertisement of the presence of the British Embassy in Brussels for occasion. The St. Louis Exposition judges ranked this hand among the best in the world. It is now acknowledged as having no compers. Such tribute is but another recognition of the achievements of the colored race, and especially of the colored people of the United States. The Exposition deemed possible to unleash of the Filipino band, is a colored American, and at one time a student at the M Street High School of Washington. He is a native of St Paul Minn., and has graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music as well as the conservatories of the New York University. He deemed possible to service music from the Filipinos, because of his special qualifications. Capt Loving was chosen to direct the effort. He assured eighty old export native musicians, all of whom had little or no experience in concert works. They exchanged, however, their instinct to perform for master the new branch, and early showed possibilities of becoming famous. Capt Loving perceived his opportunity and developed himself resolutely to the task of developing his excellent material. The important result of his work was the powerful impact of his companion Mr. Philippe Gouverner Award of this impression, friends of the President elect have secured an authorization for the trip of the band from the island through Brigdener General Chance Edwards chief of the Bureau of Affairs. Private party of defrays expenses amounting to $5,000 incident to the appointment of the band at Washoe City. Why this expenditure? The playing of the band is said to be marvelous by all those who heed it at St Louis. As a unit the men have mastered all of the mysteries of music. Expression. Their product are purely liquid harmonies, a suggestion of tremors, and nearly half of the included instruments are roots. Instead of a large number of saxophones the Filipinos use four saxophones and two saxophones. The instruments are used for accompaniment alone, the second voice is carried in resemble strength, human voices or the pipe. The band can be divided several excellent orchestras and globals. This will be done while it is Washington. The price will probably be too high, or rather too expensive, the great mass of colored instruments resulting in Washington to have an festival to the cause of Capt Loving's constabulary.

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?" The police report for the year 1908 is just out and those engaged in Social Settlement work are waiting to hear from our criminologists is to whether crime in New York is on the increase or decrease.

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. Next week Dr W Bruce Evans was elected president, being opposed for the office by Lawyer J A Cobb. The election might have been turned by two votes.

The wanton murder last week in Florence, South Carolina, of the unof- fending 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 degra- dation 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 Christan whites of that community to put down their vicious members But when the educated sons of leading citi zens reveal themselves as common murderers, such appeals are out of order—denunciation 1s useless The Negro can and need only stop an@ 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 15 forever marked by the -blot of blod 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 Caroling? What en example has the son of Senator Big- ham set for the vicious and ignorant whites of South Carolina? The Charleston News and Courier may well raise the question as to whether “the peaple of Florence cam enforce the erminal law” Though the Negro suffers, a hanher Negro will survive The whites may murder innocent Negroes, but a de- graded white and a reign of poverty and vice survive Slowly but surely, almost unopposed. the Southern whites, with an inherted and increasing lust for Blood. are marching on in the chadow of the valley of death ‘TILLMAN IN TRE TOILS.

As the most revered and Greatest of American eteationtt—ine stitutions, Harvard has atood for equal opportumty for all. Upon that basis of “a fair field and no favors” the cream of Negro youth for over a gen- eration las 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 Viadivostock, mapy ‘names written high upon her proud rolls of scholars, orators, debaters and athletes are those of Negroes. These names include uch students as Prof. Dubois, Clement G Morgan, commence- ment and class day orators respec- tively in 1890; Roscoe Conkling Bruce, class day orator wm 1902; Allen Leroy Locke, 1908, prize student and Oxford University scholarship holder, and such famous athletes as Wilham H_ Lewms, head of Boston's Naturalization Bu- reau; Napoleon B Marshall and Wil- ham C Matthews Worthy scion of a long line of noble friends of the Negro, Prof Lowell brings mtact to his new office the New England love of justice and hatred of proscription Thoroughly informed on political conditions and an unbiased quthorify on government, Harvard's mew head has been an outspoken and honest lecturer He has been eminently fair to Negro students, with a helpful and wholesome sympathy Jor their position Under President Lowell the Negro may rest assured that Harvard will wontinue her equal opporturity— that the educational draught to the top toe Negro youth im this country will remain, open DISCRIMINATION IN NEW YORK. “A persone within the furiadiction of thie?
