This conference has brought together one of the most remarkable groups of social workers that has ever been seen in the West. Physicians, teachers, social settlement leaders, statisticians and other specialists made a notable group. They represented interests and plans big with promise, that were scarcely dreamed of twenty-five years ago. Your correspondent failed to find a single Negro in this entire group of interesting and interested social workers. Though the race has in the community physicians who have contributed much time and effort in the tuberculosis campaign, which is being so valiantly waged all over the country, many club women and workers in settlements and in the interest of child protection, but not one was in evidence in this largely attended conference. Among the startling things recited in the conference was the graphic portrayal in speech and on canvas of the condition of thousands of little white slaves who are chained to the cotton mills of the South. It was suggested more or less openly to the vast audiences how much more fortunate, in this respect at least, are the Negro children of the South, who are, through prejudice, saved from the depressing slavery to the spindles of the cotton mills.

A strong address was made by Prof Perry, urging the Negroes to take advantage of the opportunity to secure for the immediate section one of the largest educational institutions for the Negro race in the South. Prof. Perry said the white people are giving $15 where the colored people are giving $1, and urged them to spur themselves to an effort and a final result that they may take some pride in. Prof. Perry at a figure that he thought the 40,000 Negroes of Louisville should raise. He said that $13,000 was not too much. He pointed out that the branch would not be under the control of the board of directors of Berea College, but would have a board of directors of its own. Speeches were also made by Dr. I N Bloom, president of the Louisville School Board. W R Belknap, Prof F H Mark, superintendent of the public schools, and several members of the colored population.

SENATOR MILTON Manages to get Into Print—Little Possibility of the Bill Passing—Other Interesting News WASHINGTON, D C., Jan. 26—Unable to get a little notoriety other than by bringing p the Negro question in some form, Senator Milton of Florida has followed in the steps of many of his Southern colleagues, and has introduced a bill in the Senate which has as its object the definition of the term LL! AGE person sending commencing The names of be published. ending in the will be given to ending in sub- commissions. HING CO. New York City WANTED. "Negro." "Negro." It provides that any person containing an African blood mixture of one eighth or more shall be legally considered a Negro. The bill contains a number of other items, one which seeks to prohibit the intermarriage of Negroes and whites in the District of Columbia. There is little possibility of the bill passing. Since the introduction of Senator Miton's bill many eminent sociologists have written to the Senator from Florida referring him to the latest sign of the work of Mr A. H. Stone, which theorizes that the soul of the black folk mixed with any other dominates that other down to a ratio of one thirty-second with a limited number of exceptions. Thus Negro characteristics always predominate up to the point, it is said, in the offspring of such amalgamation. So if the term "Negro" is to be legally defined it is the desire of many that it be done on the thirty-second basis and not on the eighth.

C Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENTS COMMISSION FOR LIBERIA President Roosevelt Asks That $20,000 be Appropriated REPUBLIC'S FRIEND Desire of the President That the United States Assist Liberia In its Present Struggle America is Responsible for the Moral Welfare of Africa, by Roosevelt at African Diamond Jubilee Meeting. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 25.—President Roosevelt is deeply interested in the welfare of Liberia, and is desirous of this government assisting the little black Republic in its struggle to gain an important standing among the other nations. In a message to Congress the President is asking that $20,000 be appropriated to pay the expenses of a commission which shall go to Liberia to examine into the situation and confer with the officers of the Liberian Government and with representatives of other governments located in Monrovia. The President desires that the commission report the real condition of the Republic, and make recommendations as to what manner this country can render the most effective relief to Liberia during its present struggle. At the African Diamond Jubilee Mass Meeting, held recently in Washington at the Metropolitan Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church, President Roosevelt expressed his views on Africa, advocating that the United States is in a measure responsible for the moral welfare of the people of that country, and referred to the exodus of Negroes from this country to Liberia. During his address he said: "The moral well-being of the people of Africa is manifest. Our wealth and power have given us a place of influence among the nations of the world. But world-wide influence and power mean more than dollars or social, intellectual or industrial supremacy. They involve a responsibility for the moral welfare of others which cannot be evaded. The United States has no territorial interests in Africa, and may never have. The Republic of Liberia was the outgrowth of immigration movements from our colored population. But beyond a paternal interest, the United States has no organic relation with or responsibility to that government. We are friendly to all governments on the continent, and stand with them, to the extent of our influence for righteous rule, especially as applied to the vast native population. Our commercial relations, already large, will grow to vast proportions in coming years. But beyond questions of rule or traffic are the responsibilities of America as to the moral uplift of the people of Africa. This responsibility is to be met in co-operation with the Christian forces of other nations. So vast is this problem of redeeming a continent, which has lain for thousands of years in darkness, that all sections of the Christian Church must have a hand in this great work. The few score of missionaries who are now on the field from America should be multiplied in the near future, and the money contributed to Africa should be doubled over and over again year after year. It is a joy to learn that among the missionary forces in Africa, from different lands and representing different branches of the Church, there are fraternal and mutually helpful relations. The responsibility of America toward Africa is emphasized because of our past history, and because of the number of our citizens who are of African descent. As a result of the African slave trade, that crime of the ages and of two and one half centuries of slavery in America the United States has nearly 10,000,000 of colored people as a part of its citizenship. No other country outside of Africa has so large a Negro population, and, what is more there are no other 10,000,000 of Negroes in the world who own as much property and have as large a per cent who are intelligent, moral and thrifty. The education and uplift of the American Negro now going forward should be accompanied by the increase of the missionary and Christian forces on the continent from which his ancestors came. The number of those who go as missionaries to Africa will increase, and it is not unreasonable to suppose that a large share of the leadership for the evangelization of the continent will be furnished from among our own colored leaders in America "In the redemption of Africa all sections of the Christian Church must be united, but Methodism, because of the vast numbers it represents and the spirit and methods of its movements, should have a share of especial note. The spirit of Methodism is the spirit of expansion and of world-wide conquests in the kingdom of righteousness, John Wesley's motto was 'The world is my parish' I hope the Methodists of to-day will make this statement good."

The First Sign of Failing Health Worry is a disease, and it's more- it produces other diseases because it breaks motives and maps the vitality of the body. What a pity women don't realize that if they were well, if the blood was nutritious, if the nerves were strong, if all the organs were active, then the little women that writen them, the little women that wrote them, the women who worries has a poor appetite—she sleeps poorly. If it only lasted for a day or two—it might be of small consequence, but she grows impatient and the mind day by day. The needs of Dr. Pills' Tells worry by during the conditions that render worry possible. For nervous, weak women, no tide is so good. Dr. Pills' Tells one, by making good food strong nerves and a healthy body, that the skin, hairy to the skin, hairy to the step, tightness to the eyes, because with good digestion and activity of the body in all parts there's health.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND AFRICA. When history shall record the high services of President Roosevelt to the African race, not the least among those services we venture to predict will be his present sympathetic effort to help Liberia. Conferring last June with the three Liberian commissioners to this country concerning conditions there, the President at once became interested. Since that time the State Department has learned from general and special representatives in Liberia that, Liberia needs help and that the United States can and should "substantially help her." Acting upon this information the President last week asked for an appropriation of $20,000 to pay the expenses of a commission to go to Liberia, "to examine into the situation, confer with the officers of the Liberian government and with the representatives of other governments actually present in Monrovia and report recommendations as to the specific action on the part of the United States most apt to render effective relief to the Republic of Liberia under the present critical circumstances." Nothing in particular but everything in general ails Liberia. Her uncharted, outlying territory encroached upon by European nations, Liberia is beset by internal difficulties no less deperate. With a civilized population of about 50,000 Negroes, mostly emigrants from America and the descendants of such emigrants, her civilization is almost lost in a native population of nearly 2,000,000 unruly barbarians. There are many honest and capable Negroes, like the American embassadors, in Liberia, but there seems to be an almost equal number of demagogues and graffiti in her midst and some of these latter are in high places. Under such conditions progress and success are impossible. America has a paternal duty toward Liberia. Negroes emigrated from America and founded the colony. In 1862, this government recognized the republic. Slaves taken from captured slave vessels as early as 1819 during President Monroe's administration were deported by the American government in vessels chartered by the government. Not only did the American government help to establish Liberia, but for many years, together with the American Colonization Society in the Eastern States, sustained Liberia. The request of President Roosevelt should be speedily granted. A commission of constructive and sympathetic statesmen with as little delay as possible should be empowered to suggest and institute reforms. America should help Liberia to a more effective government, to the means of defence and patrol, to a sufficient education, to a better industry and a better financial arrangement. Now that President Roosevelt has become interested we feel that Liberia will not only be saved to Liberians but that Liberia will have a brighter future. WASHINGTON SCHOOLS. Possibly no city in the country has presented so much turmoil in its public school system as the city of Washington furnishes in its colored schools. There have been charges and counter charges against this faction and that faction, against this influence and that influence, and the result has been that the teachers, one and all have constantly been kept on the anxious seat, not knowing what the morrow will bring forth. THE AGR, several weeks ago, determined to go to the root of things, and with this end in view, at its own expense, sent to Washington a representative to make a thorough investigation, and to write up that investigation in a series of articles for THE AGR. Our special representative, aftef several weeks of investigation, has returned, and is now preparing his articles from the data he secured in Washington He will handle the matter without gloves. He will give the reasons for the continual and incessant upheavals in the colored schools of Washington He will lay bare the facts, neither sparing any one or any clique or faction. His articles, which will begin shortly, will be a fair and impartial sizing up of the Washington school question, fixing the blame where it belongs, and singling out the factors responsible for the very unsatisfactory condition of b affair in Washington in so far as they concern, the colored schools. Watch THE ACE for these interesting articles, and by so doing you will be placed in possession of some startling facts not known before.

We are pleased to announce for Lincoln Day in New York and Brooklyn respectively, the addresses of those two leading Ohio Negroes. Auditor of the Navy, Ralph W Tyler, and President of Wilberforce University, W S Scarborough Both gentlemen in their respective fields are making and have made much favorable sentiment for the race President Scarborough is known in all the councils of the scholars of the classics. He is the author of a well-known Greek text-book, for some time used at Yale University Mr. Tyler is not only one of the foremost Negro newspaper men of the country, but is a fluent and versatile literateur At the end of his first year as Auditor of the Navy he has established his worth as an able and conscientious official. Greater New York is especially fortunate in securing these two orators for Lincoln Day The Negroes may rest assured that no common treat is in store for them They should extend to their guests and orators no common welcome ```markdown ``` MR. TAFTS ATLANTA SPEECH. Not a few of the Southern papers are taking to themselves undue comfort by reason of Mr Taft's words in Atlanta. In Mr Taft's address he said that in making appointments he would "consider the feelings and wishes of the citizens of the community" To the Southern white people are likely to overlook the fact that this expression includes whites as well as blacks In the city of Charleston, for example, where Dr Crum holds office, half of the population is of the Negro race Mr Taft meant black citizens, as well as white citizens. We are sure that Mr Taft will not be so easily deceived as to let any one make him believe that the sole opposition to the Republican party in the South grows out of the fact that a few Negroes here and there are appointed to offices. In the State of Texas there is not a single Negro holding office, yet Texas rolls up the largest number of Democratic votes of any State in the South and has done so for years SOUTHERN DEMOCRACY. A communication so palpably false as to be ludicrous was that entitled 'Southern Democracy,' in a recent issue of the New York Sun. The "Southerner" asks, "Why should the ignorant Negro or the Chinaman or the Japanese be selected by the general government in the South for positions instead of the responsible and educated citizen?" He should not and he is not. Man for man, the Negro officeholders in the South are responsible and educated citizens, equal in fact to the white "Southerner" in moral and intellectual endowment. "Take Atlanta as an illustration of white supremacy and good government, says the "Southerner." When the streets of the Southern Metropolis for days ran riot with the murder of innocent Negroes and all instigated by the agitation of its successful candidate for Governor, when for the past two years Atlanta has been under the sway of a drunkard for a mayor, may heaven forbid, "Southerner," the perpetuity of such white supremacy and good government. "If Judge Taft will remember that Southern Democracy is a misnomer and means 'good, safe, honest government,' etc., he will find the South will stand by him," the writer continues. If Judge Taft will remember, that Southern Democracy in essence and practice means good, safe and honest exclusion of the Negro by fraud alone if possible, by by force, too, if necessary, Judge Taft will understand why the South has not stood by him and will not stand by him Throughout the gamut of charges and complaints of this dyed-in the wool Southern Democrat run this putrid poppycock and purblind prejudice The political depravity of the "Southern," so far as Democratic ideals of free citizenship are concerned is complete His standards of good government seem quite beneath the comprehension of honest and enlightened men If the Southerner feels that Judge Taft will exclude able and representative Negroes from the White House or from Southern office, he is reckoning without his host If collusion with the colossal injustice of Southern disfranchisement will melt the Solid South, then, "Southern," Judge Taft will not dissolve the Solid South Negro Journalists! We want to thank you for your hearty response to our invitation to meet and organize. From journals as widely separated as the Southern Age of New Orleans and the Boston Advocate, the Dallas Express and the Yankers Standard, the Cleveland Journal and the Mobile Press, has come the round robin of full accord. We wish to hear at once from those of our contemporaries who have not as yet responded. From the number we have already heard the success of an organizing convention at the Inauguration seems assured. We want neither a partisan nor a partial organization. We merely want to join hands with all our newspaper brethren who realize the crying need of organization, the greater strength of all in unity. The pressing need of the Negro newspaper fraternity is co-operation. The political and industrial betterment of the race; the prestige and power of the race press, our own financial rewards are the ends to be subserved and which await your word. The means of arousing the great mass of our people to a livelier support and appreciation of the race paper and the suppression of a harmful jealousy and friction are the immediate interests to be served. The blacklisting of our worst foe, the dishonest agent, can only be thus secured. The place of convention in Washington we will announce in an early issue. Meet us at the Inauguration "THE LAMENT OF LIBERIA." The Louisville Courrier-Journal pounces upon the present unhappy state of Liberna as conclusive evidence of the Negro's unfiness for self-government Saying that "No more disgolf failure is recorded in history," the Courrier, in an editorial a column in length, concludes, "He (the Negro) cannot get along without the guidance and experience of the white man, he cannot uplift himself without that white man's strong hand and stronger experience" Colonel Watterson has recently manifested a fair attitude toward the Negro. But his present moralizing on the Negro's incapacity, we consider both untimely and unfair. It would be no more cruel for the veteran editor to reproach a young man starting out in life with his poverty and lack of achievements. It would be no more pertinent for him to state that the man untrained and inexperienced in the art of government cannot govern—without critical mistakes and without his government getting at times in desperate straits. The fact remains; the statement of it is cruel and mischievous. Liberia cannot be made the test of the Negro's capacity to govern himself White colonists similarly placed and circumstanced would have made no greater progress Liberia has not failed but has asked for help There is no evidence to support the Courrier's erroneous assumption that "The movement has been backward" Secretary Root says there are between 40,000 and 50,000 civilized Negroes in Liberia and not the Courrier's 12,000 Even if the American Colonization Society did send 22,000 civilized Negroes to Liberia—which it did not—this would indicate no movement backward. A large part of the Negroes transported were slaves taken from captured slave ships That this nucleus of the Liberian Republic surrounded by millions of unfriendly and untouched natives should be placed in their present critical place, even though millions of dollars have been expended for their education, argues nothing. That the John Smith Colony to America in 1607 should fail and perish; that the American colonies appealed to Europe for aid and loans and that their confederation of 1776 to 1789 should run aground; that English government in Aryan India after a half century of increasing native disrespect is an admitted non-success, does not prove the Englishman's incapacity for self-government. That Liberia's motley crew of Negro colonists have not succeeded nobly proves nothing against the Negro's fitness for self-government. On the contrary that these few thousand untrained and poverty-strecken Negroes, with little or no education unsustained by a home government and its resources, should persist against such tremendous odds in Africa till to day would seem to argue volumes for his capacity for government EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS The largest book and stationery store on Oberlin, Ohio, is conducted by a Negro, Mr John Williams who employs a clerical force of from three to six persons? When we recall the lamented Dunbar, Chestnut, Scarborough and Tyler, who will deny that Ohio Negroes excel in books? With Professor Karl Pearson of University College, London, saying that "the white races sprang from a dark skinned ancestry" through the Albino process, and with Professor Ripley of Harvard University saying that the white races will revert to a dark complexion, how far distant do you think the day when a hysterical Caucasian world famous comfort netter in the past, who is the Nature, will muzzle its univeristy, antiquities? The Nameses of Huntington, W. Va., have recently been roundly denouncing a La Rousse fashion the Wheeling Intelligence for its rabid utterances on behalf of The Crow cars. That's right; the Intelligence ought to know better. President elect Taft's tribute to Miss Lucy Lancey, founder and builder of the Haines Industrial School at Augusta, with its splendid plant and 700 students, was as gracious as it was timely. At last, oh, at last, noble Negro womanhood is coming into its own. Mrs. Elizabeth Anderson, at the great age of 107 years, died during the early days of the month at her home in Evansville, Ind. Wonder why scientists looking for data as to the secret of a long life do not study the Negro? President Roosevelt in his great African Diamond Jubilee address said the ten million Negroes of this country were further advanced than the same number of Negroes anywhere else in the world. But, Mr President, just watch our advancement during the next heat. Mr Andrew Jackson. Pittsburg's leading Negro politician and energetic reformer, at the last conference of the "One Hundred and Fifty," nominated W H Stevens, the rich man's candidate. for Mayor. Talk about the shades of Andrew Jackson! He is not dead, no, he not even sleepep Because a Negro is president of the Cuban Senate and twelve Negroes sit in the Cuban Congress. Southern papers like the Picayune and the Raleigh News and Observer are having periodic spells of hysteria. We at last have found a reason for the keen though utterly hopeless Southern sentiment for Cuba's annexation Mr Ernest Alexander, of Waco, Texas, with three sets of twin brothers and sisters, and just now with Mrs Alexander, nineteen years old, the parents of four five-pound baby girls, whose picture has been sent to President Roosevelt, holds the family championship for his State. But then, it must be remembered. that Mr Alexander's fellow statesman. Mr John A Johnson, set him a splendid example According to Mr John G Jones, the mining town of Macdonald, Pa, with four hundred colored persons, two hundred of whom are miners, has many excellent Negro enterprises, including an upholstery and large coal firm, many fine residences, sixty-five thousand dollars' worth of property, and no prejudice in their town. The Negroes of Macdonald have apparently dug deep enough to find the secret of how to be treated like other men According to the Cleveland Gazette, Cleveland has a colored captain in one of its largest white military organizations, a colored battalion, the Ninth. a colored police lieutenant, fifteen colored school teachers, including one in a high school; two Negro assistant superintendents in manufacturing establishments, employing white operatives, and one colored private secretary to a railroad president. First in the arts of war, first in the arts of peace, and first in the arts of the company The Negroes of the South are planning to hold a large Anti-Saloon Convention in Atlanta during the closing days of next month. It is entirely proper that the convention should be held during these days, but we also want to note that, owing to the pressure of time and the large number of noted black and white speakers from the South to make addresses, that there will be a limit put on the South's leading spirits. Progressive Education Referring to the matter of industrial training, here is what a grammar school teacher in Massachusetts tells of her experience: "I have found many lessons whose brains are reached through their fingers, and the feeling that they are really doing something important, the value of which they can see, makes them self reliant and confident. They study better after a few minutes at the cobblers' bench. This experience teaches what every intelligent advocate of industrial training knows, that this manner of education is not to give a new tick to the hand or to trace a rut for a boy to follow, but it is to open his mind and strengthen his thinking—processes that will be more powerful and arithmetic. We must get out of the idea that industrial training is simply to learn a trade or make a living, as necessary as these results are, but it ennables a boy increase his knowledge, fits him to choose things and helps him in doing it. These things constitute the real end of education." Dr. Brown, the United States Commissioner at the American Association for the Advancement of Science, last week, said "false pretences in the realm of education, are a particularly flagrant form of fraud, for they cheat on American students and give unfair chance." While the commissioner did not refer to industrial training in this remark, it applies as well to it for there is nothing in the world that secures a fair chance to the American youth as a lighter appreciation of work and a keener insight into the ways of it that makes him more intelligent if he makes him much better off than if he had a rich father—The Ohio State Journal O Morrison Racial to thee I bring This plea of faith unwavering.

The death rate per 1,000 for the colored people of the city for the year 1908 is 28.05, and for the whites 18.39 per 1,000. We should be more careful how we live and thus reduce our death rate. - The Mobile Press. The Senate passes the State-wide bill known as Senate Bill No. 1, providing for the prohibition of sale of liquor within four miles of any school house in the State of Tennessee. The passing of the above bill, and the enforcement of the same means much to our people especially in the cities where our women and girls are allowed to frequent the low streets, will bring all things out right for our people. - The Nashville Clarion. The spending of a few months in the South by President elect Taft is a marked illustration of the great change which has taken place in the sentiments and feelings of the white people of the South, and of the white women of the South. It is anomen for good to the whole country as we see it. It indicates the establishment of a friendly feeling between the people in both sections that has not existed for at least seventy-five years. It tells the tale of really restored union — The Georgia Baptist. There is a great demand for colored laboring men in and about Reading, Pa., nearly all the foundries, mills, factories, lumber and coal yards, wans, more than 100,000 men, also plenty of work for men and women in the hotels restaurants and boarding houses. Reading is among the mountains of Pennsylvania, has very liberal laws and gives especially a chance to earn a living in the city. It is also for four colored churches in Reading, Pa. The Philadelphia Public Record. It is indeed unfortunate that President Roosevelt should have allowed himself to be drawn into a personal encounter with Pitchford Tillman, of Georgia, whom he met in the Tillman, for he is void of any character or reputation worthy of mention. Such is not the case in regard to Mr. Roosevelt, who last year earned an enviable reputation for courage, statemanship, and ability to do things despite opposition. It would be futile to attempt here to make any comparison between the two men. Suffice it to say that Mr. Roosevelt of American people, and the other has not. The Providence Advance Now that Rooker T Washington has educated the country up to the value of industrial training, the dignity of labor and the fundamental quality of the farm, the white fox from taking the white fox from taking the clear away from him.

The world has imbued from the race it has affected to despair. Verily "the rejected stone has become the head of the corner"—The Austin Wathman. Mr Burton knotted the Negro; he knows what we are doing in Cleveland and Ohio, and the race at large. He knows the men who are doing things by name, and he does not forget them or their interests. Since 1910, Mr Burton has been a leader in Republican politics in Cleveland, he has steadfastly insisted that our people receive just and proper recognition. He did so when Thomas W Fleming was nominated for the council; he did so when I T Fubanks was nominated for the Legislature. He will do so in the future. That Mr. Burton will be a Senator for all the people, none who know him will question that he will yield to no one, not even Mr. Foraker, in championing our rights, is sincerely believed Mr.-Burton will mark a new era in the progress of Ohio and Cleveland —The Cleveland Journal Alexander H Martin on Ohio Situation To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE I observe from the first page of the current issue of your paper, which came to hand to-day, that you have deemed widely indicated a false report concerning myself with respect to some alleged "ideal" having for its object the displacement of Mr. Ralph W Tyler auditor of the Navy at Washington. Let me assure you that I am a budding of the nature described going on in Ohio that I know of and I am fairly well informed as to political happenings in this State. "Mr Tyler's friends in Ohio" derive no greater satisfaction from his excellent record than I, and while you and your wise correspondent, exergulating a prologue which confuses, are unable to approach have recently been from among that number, in your classification. Nevertheless I am a "friend of man" I admire and appreciate all time anywhere and in anybody. And, therefore, notwithstanding the "effort" that I am and its correspondent to pertain to me, I endeavor to indulge the hope that I may be permitted to say even though not of "Mr Tyler's friends in Ohio" that such excellence as has been shown by him in office, merits its reward. And that I would not be a party to any plan which would be sent to him that merted reward. Mr Tyler has been in office scarcely more than a year, seems to me that he should at least be permitted to finish his term. But your article is offensive in that you seize upon falsehood and misrepresentation in your evident desire to what and I am and the other gentleman, to say you finally as aside from giving excellence I am a devotee of truth, honesty, integrity and fair play. It's the Ohio way. I have maintained an office at the above address for more than a decade, where I can usually be found. I habitually require that those dealing with my property and my rights shall maintain up to the highest requirements of the Ohio law. If THE NEW YORK AOW desires in the future to publish anything concerning me, and has that respect for truth which high-grade journalism should have and which is such an enactment to the character of gentlemen the world over, I insist that it consult me as to the truth of the same before it appears. And first the household and misrepresentation appears at the parlor of those who cause it to answer. Respectfully yours, MERMANSER H. MARTIN Cleveland, Ohio The Black Samson at Home. TO THE EDITOR OF THE AGE Permit me to congratulate you on your noble editorial "The Black Samson at Home" in your issue of the 14th inst. Can it be possible, air, that the poor Negro farm has its own home and put him out of the reach of education and civic rights? Here in free America he is crushed and kept down beyond the expression of words, and that from all accounts, as Frank G. Carpenter states, they are being the same in Africa, the Negroes' home. I am not acting the part of an alarmist, but I for one think that it is high time for the races of the Dark Continent to raise their voices in protest against such infringements of their rights in their own country, the average man seems to have lost sight of the fact that Africa belongs to the Negro. Fancy carrying the Gospel of our blessed Lord and Master in one hand and in the other the utter hatred of'do you believe do not assert that the good missionaries the good real humanitarian work, but all this race hatred will ultimately ruin their work. I saw the great mother country, England, could allow the infringement of her people's rights perhaps by of her so-called rich men, is a matter hard to understand. This hatred of color is direct disobedience of the Law and I know why the Great Teacher, and yet men own it.

As the British had had a number of very serious conflicts with the Zulus, summary measures were taken to avert the threatened trouble, and so the head chieftain of the uneasy tribe, Dinizulu, was arrested on a charge of high treason and taken far away from his people. Dinizulu is a son of the famous Cetewayo, the greatest chief the Zulus ever had and he is highly respected by the natives, who are exceedingly loyal to him. He has had a period of exile at St Helena, and is now on trial at Greytown, Natal, on the serious charge above referred to. He has found a most zealous white defender, however, in Miss Colenso, a daughter of the Bishop of Natal who resembles her father in her strong sympathy with the South African natives, and who maintains that the prisoner is innocent. The natives themselves say with reference to the trial that the "white men are killing the child" meaning by that the child of the king (Cetewayo). Every day during the sessions of the court the native spectators utter the royal salute, "Bayete" professedly in honor of the judges, but really it is claimed in honor of Dinizulu - Leslie Weekly. SERMONS IN TAFT SENTENCES Race Prejudice Lives Upon Discussion Says Clark Howell President elect Latt is not only in his method of expression but his senses the happy foully or using a great deal in few words. He did this more than once in the speeches he made on the occasion of his visit to Atlanta, and an interesting and timely instance of it and his splendid address to the Negroes at Big Bethel Church whose good qualities be commanded and to whom he gave some excellent advice. It was in his only reference to the racial prejudice that Hilda Latt said, "I don't intend to discuss the feeling and true prejudice that the discussion of it and the argument of it never did anybody any good. This is probably the briefest as well as the best discussion of that phase of the subject ever included in by any man high in national official life. There is on the contrary plenty of evidence of the harm that has done and of the Taft view of it, could only fix the fashion and set discussion of racial feeling and prejudice at rest among those in certain quarter, where are included to keep the others unwilling there would soon be an end of it. Mr Taft has realized that there would be no such thing as a prejudice if it were not talked about. He can perform no better service than in exterminating the evil by sitting the discussion upon which lives The Atlanta Constitution 'After the 'Free Soil Party,' 'Free Soil,' 'Free Labor,' 'Free States,' 'Free Speech' and 'Men,' on its anners, had defeated almost permanently victorious Democratic party under the leadership of able and popular a standard bearer. General Lewis Cass, Mr. Calhoun other Southern statesmen were than ever alarmed at the rapid incrade of anti-slavery feeling in the North devoted their energies more and more to the work of devising means to the torrents and tie up the storm.

(To be continued) 10 THE CHURCH AND THE STAGE IN the Christmas number of 101 Age was published an article by Ernest Hogan on "The Church and the Stage," which has occasioned much comment throughout the country The article was in the nature of a plea for the existence of a more cor- dial and effective relationship between the two forces. It was charged in the article that the actor has kept himself away from the church because the churchman has shown a prejudice against him, and that the church has remained away from the stage because there are many things done there not in accord with the precepts of that great religious body. It was the contention of the writer of the article that the church should have made over tures long ago to the stage with the aim of co-operating and paritying it in many things as it has done in other agencies. Noting that the public was greatly interested in the subject, the dramatic editor of THE AGE wrote to prominent churchmen residing in New York City, asking them to give their respective opinions on Ernest Hogan's article-"The Church and the Stage" The writer is publishing without com- ment the views of well known church- men. For the information of the many readers of these columns we will add that out of all the letters recorded not one contained expressions dis- agreeing with Ernest Hogan relative to the suggestion that the church and the stage get more closely together By Bishop Alexander Waltern) Regarding Mr. Hogan's recent article on "The Church and Stage," will say that I read with much interest and consider it an excellent one so far as its literary character is concerned, but am afraid that Mr. Hogan has overdrawn the picture in placing too much emphasis on the antagonism of the church to the stage I have found the church very in its attitude toward theatre. If it has opened its doors to real people, it has kindly drawn its read concerts of vanity, that did not get our noted artists, etc., but ordered church their first hearing in some church in While pastor Mion Zion Co. in New York City from 1888 to 1892. was my privilege to introduce Sissietta Jones, now the great Mine, Jones, to her first. New York audience. Mine celita Bina Florenta Hatson Hergen and Mass Nedar Nahar began their career in the church and had the support of the church Had I time I could name scores of men and women who not only had their start in the church, but were encouraged by the church at every stage of their press. However, the church not supposed to follow that that that that go into vaudeville, as understand vaudeville to be, but as regard the legitimate drama and that comedy the church has been exceedingly liberal. Were I able to present the statistics of the number of ministers and laymen who have attended shows of Williams and Walker Gee and Johnson, and who have seen Ernest Hogan, the readers of THE AGE would greatly surprised. And now as to the spiritual side of this question. The arms of the church have ever been open to receive into its members those who have been willing to rise up to christian principles. I could name a number of noted artists who have the reputation of being consistent christians, the celebrated Mary Anderson was regular in her attendance at mass. There are but few ministers who have not at some time visited and administered to some sick or unfortunate member of the stage and of course performed the last and rite at the bier of the departed one. As for self, there are a number of furnished colored artists on the stage that I consider it an honor to know as my friends --- (By Rev. Reverdy ( Ransom, Bethel A. M. E. (Church) My esteemed friend, Mr Ernest Hogan deserves the thanks of all Christian people for his very pointed and timely article in the Christmas number of Turt. Age. I am free to confess that it is a sad commentary on our Christian sympathy that the stage should cry to the pulpit "Reach forth thy hand." Rather than the pulpit to cry to the pulpit to reach forth thy hand. An uncle of mine, Mr San Lucas, is perhaps the dean of the theatrical profession among Negroes. This fact may have quickened my sympathies, but it is not responsible for the friendliness of my attitude. I fear we must admit that the position of most Negro churches is antagonistic to the theatre as an institution. But it would be the shame of our Christianity if we were opposed to actors either an individual or as a class. In our churches generally, "entertainments" are given almost everything is attempted (but with far inferior results) that we are acted on the stage. The writer knows many clergymen whose pulpit is strongly in opposition to the stage, but who, when they are in a strange city, eagerly are the audience of the opportunity to attend the theatre. All this would to indicate that the attitude of many churches and clergymen toward stage is more due to "religious public opinion and inherited prejudices than to anything based on moral or religious scruples. We think we hazard little by saying that a large majority of the women on the stage from Selika and Sissiatta Jones onward have either been "did cover" or brought first before the public by some church or minister. A majority of the girls on the stage to day graduated from our church choirs into a theatrical career. It is most pathetic when my dear Mr Hogan pleads that the minister should be as much interested in the theatrical man as he is in the ard or gambler. I am sure that those ministers whose influence can be benefit to men in the theatrical profession, have either given them up or hopeless nor regard them with indifference. Admittedly the pulpit and stage too far apart. An increasing num --- THE BROADWAY ber of our brightest and best young people are annually adopting the stage as a life career. I for one, applaud their every artistic triumph, and rejoice in the successes which their brilliant talents are winning from an unwilling public. Be assured that with growing intelligence, clergymen of every denomination, will more and more seek intimate personal acquaintance with its best representatives in the church. Joyous lofty, its moral atmosphere kind, and to brighten with brotherly kindness the dark days when "luck is down" and applauding audiences no longer see them joyous behind the footlights' glare. (By Rev W. H Brooks, St. Mark's M. K. Church.) Just now we are in the midst of special revival work which demands all of my time and thought. I will be pleased to take up the matter of which you write some time in the near future, but, so far as my own personal views and interests are concerned, I will accept the man of any profession or no profession at all if he believes in our Lord and is interested in the coming of the kingdom. COOPER & B In Vau COOPER AND ROBINSON Have a Good Act Which Makes Good Because It Is Original the business that wins more genuine applause than the two young comedians above mentioned During the present theatrical season the writer has been strung asiduously to locate a singe and dancing act presented by two. I read comedians that was not a pocket edition of Williams and Walker at Ernst Hogan. There has been nothing but disappointment in order until last week when Cooper and Robinson were seen at Hammersmith in My Friend From Home, a very amusing sket. But it was the criminals of the act that made it particularly pleasing and acceptable. Throughout the entire sketch they were Cooper and Robinson and not for once were you reminded of other comedians George W. Cooper is a good straight man and a fair singer. He is a capital Cull for his partner William Robinson, whose duty it is to make the audience laugh and the audience does laugh. Robinson is also a dancer of no little ability but like Bob Cole, Bert Willemams etc. has not worked out a new step for a long long time. In fact Joe Britton is about the only colored dancer who does. If the writer remembers correctly Bert Williams has not given the public a new dance step since since the Williams and Walker company returned from Europe. We saw Robinson dances in a special season he forcest fast and he was the same routine Let our colored comedian wake up on their dancing and produce something new. Cooper and Robinson were seen on the hall at Hammersmith's yet they broke up the show and were compelled to make a speech thanking the audience for the appreciation shown he Fore Card No. 3 was permitted to be out out. A height future is in store for Cooper and Robinson that is one of them takes life more seriously. We would not be surprised to see them leading a musical comedy some day.

Apparently all of Atlantic City tried to crowd itself in the pretty little Apollo Theatre to witness the initial performance of Cole and Johnson in "The Red Moon." Those fortunate enough to secure admission were "Paid in Full" G Grant Williams, of Philadelphia, says that the second act of "The Red Moon" is the picture beautiful--a relief for tired and sore eyes. Saturday, January 23 ("Skiddoo") Charles A Hunter, our genal stage manager, was the recipient of a handsome pair of silver-backed monogrammed military hair brushes. Now he is worrying whether to keep them as ornaments or to brush his "hair" occasionally. The famous boardwalk is now a blaze of crimson—the Red Mooners are on the stroll regularly. That grand old man, the dean of the profession, Sam Lucas, is once more back in the cast.

GEORGIA TROL BADOLR NOTES The Ionadours have met with a far measure of success since their son began last August. In the West and especially in the smaller it was the political pot heels more fiercely than in the East and during the campaign we were kept busy ducking financial "frosts." However clear sailing has been our lot lately and we have no kick coming. We have a show of nine people, and while we do not lay claim to being the best in the land, we are pleasing our audience. We have a combined miniatur and juvadeuille show, closing with our sketch, "A Trip to the Jungle," which always sends them home in a good humor. In our oio we have Frank Kirk, the acrobatic tramp and his wife in a new musical act, Madame M. L. Simmons, lyric soprano, William and Edna McCabi, sketch artists; Carrie Burch, lady bartone, V. P. Houdt, monologue artist, and the Troubadour Quartette Fred Burch is the musical director. He and his wife were much pleased at the article in The Act of the 14th concerning Brown and Navarro; also the letter from Joe Hodges.

While we would take great delight in publishing some of the letters we have received in those writers whose congratulatory expressions were not made public. S. H. Dudley leading combination of the Smart Set Company has been unable to work for over a week and is at present in Chicago under the care of physician. At first his condition was considered serious but Wednesday a telephone received in New York by Charles Barton his manager, stating that the company was convulsing and would join the company Sunday in St. Louis. In the event Mr. Dudley does not get better this week it was stated at the New York office that Harrison Stewart would be sent to play the leading part. Since Mr. Dudley's illness his part has been played by "Books" Allen a war drama, entitled "The Recruit." Last week a farce comedy—"Hodge and Hodge"—was played and well received. The company played to the largest receipts since the opening of the theatre. The principal characters were S. Tutt Whitney, Homer Tuta, Sam Gardner, Lank Simms, John Johnson, Nettie Taylors, label Brown, Ethel Marshal and Manuelle Gardner. Tapping of a connet solo by Nettie Taylors the band of illustrated songs by Maitel Brown and afterpiece by S. Tutt Whitney, entitled "Darktown School Teacher," were the features of the bill During the week many theatregoers have visited the Family Street Theatre, East 12th street, between Park and Livingston avenues, to witness a performance of *Doctor Ohman* which was advertised in last week's Ask to appear at the Harlem playhouse with Edward Denton and company. It was not the fault of House Manager George A Boyer that those who went to the theatre to see a performance were disappointed Monday information showed a disappointed company gave its first performance. The show was considered such a bad deal that Boyer canned it. On the program were the following movies: Clamstein, Armstead, Ruby Spotsky, Guardian Brown, Esque Hubert, Mattie Philip Smith, Joe Passy, Joe Bright, Billy Ward (that the minister man), Bell Lewis, Nat Lucas and Edward Denton IN THE SPORTING WORLD BY LESTER A WALTON Wouldn't it be amusing if Jack Johnson would get it into his head to draw the color line and refuse to fight any white man—at least for a couple of years. We have been working to the members of the colored race, but to the white fighters and their friends it would be regarded as an entitley. We do not know of any law giving rights to refuse to meet colored fighters, and, on the other hand, makes it compulsory) for Negroes to fight their white broths in the pugilistic world where the latter won winnings to create a sensation, and occup) a unique position among the fighters as a world champion, let him fight the white line, and give the white fighters of his own mediature. It would be a great spectacle to see Jeffrese following Johnson around the world, trying to fight the white man, after he has been such an orderly devil and supporter of that overworked cheatnut—the "color line." JUDGING from the comments in the last paper throughout the country on the above article which appeared in last weeks Aot, under the caption "Should Johnson Draw Color Line" the idea of Jack Johnson refusing to fight Joe Jeffries and drawing the color line was not new and novel and gave the white writers something to think about the terrible ways in which the artist was tried readily shown by the comparison of two commissioned paintings in the New York Morning World and the Boston Traveler in the Boston Traveler the sporting editor emphasizes the assertion of Fitz Aot that the color line is an overworked design and quite this paper with the following introduction. The following Goy, of New York Aot, the leading colored paper of Gothem, will intermingle with the Traveler in the writer of the New York Maritime World to become the artist as follows: "Didn't I tell you that the color passions are getting on their dignity since Mishal Johnslow took away Tommy Burns' meal ticket? Here's a new indication of its ingenu from Trim New York Age, the Negro organ." The writer can forgive the World for its attempt to try and be funny by employing the language as above, for we have laughed more than once and some poor misguided white person who has made himself ridiculously by associating a certain brand of language with a colored person that was entirely foreign to the latter so we will overlook the comedy put on by the writer of the World in his peculiar style of spelling entirely unknown to us. However there is one impression we wish to correct and that is the Negroes have not assumed an ample position in the world in the champion of the world. The only difference between now and before, it is won the championship that we first found of being identified with the race that formulates the champion fighters of the world. On the other hand our white fell war zeros are over-sensitive because they lost the honors Negroes may have profited these days. The champion will be taken for impostor. It has a few rules to obey while we wish to be better over the defeat of Burns. Don't speak to your brother other than in a quiet,offensive manner. It is difficult to show a spirit of unbound and indoorspace at the juncture without to be charged with the use of getting up and upstairs by the race Jack Lester has What a pity." My husband is the only man who has been in Paris since McVay was born for a number of months. He has been for a number of months in the armed fighters including Joe Foster. He has been for a number of years in the French capital by his debut at the French capital by defeating Rudy Tauro in three rounds. On the same day, McVay moved from Baskerd of Champs-les-Étoiles and Dauphin was on a second round bout with Adhilde the French champion.

The first annual meeting of the Robert Gould Shaw House was held at 6 Hammond street last Wednesday afternoon, and a brilliant assemblage heard the interesting report of the House Committee.

Henderson, of the Charles Street Church, spoke before the Reform Association, an organization composed of ministers, lawyers and distinguished citizens of the United States, and which has for its object the uplift of the home, school and church of his subject, 'The Right of the Free Question' The Charles Street Bulletin says: 'The address of Mr Dan' Mackey, assistant chaplain of the Charlestown Prison, before the Christian Endeavor meeting, was worth a dozen sermons While many of the statements were no doubt unpleasant, they were nevertheless true, too true. The prison population is increasing alarmingly among us and it behooves us as Christian men and women to look about us and ask ourselves to look at the question: 'Is this aggression of a Young Man's Christian Association, while not new, should receive our most serious thoughts. It is in line with the most advanced thought of the day Mr. Fred R. Moore, editor of TUR New York Aug. arrived in Boston Friday night and stopped at the Upton Hotel. On Saturday he devoted the day to calling upon his cousin the city. On Sunday he attended Charles Street Church. On being recognized by the pastor, he was at once introduced to the congregation and gave an exceedingly pertinent talk on the moral condition of the pulpit, which evoked the most enthusiasm evidences of approval. The afternoon at McKinley Editor Moe responded to a solicitation introduction by President F. Gaston Hill, and again stood by the guns and bombarded the "unclean publit of Boston," and any one who nourished the idea that there is a streak of cowardice in the editor of TUR Aug was entirely disharmed. He added that the author had a closer racial interest and a higher regard for that which is moral. He interperped his remarks with many humorous and suggestive stories, and was given an oration. Mr Moore was the dinner guest of Dr. and Mrs. Saml G. Cournery Saturday night and of Mr. and Mrs. Harris on Sunday afternoon. He left for New York on the "midnight" Sunday.
