Investigated by a Staff Correspondent of The Age Many Incompetent Teachers Are Said to be Holding Lucrative Jobs Because of a Pull GOSSIP MONGERS BUSY Stories Allent Relating to Morale of Several Teachers—Thirty Theme and Colored Children Affected by Condition. special to the NEW YORK AGE WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb 23.—Whover tackles the Washington colored school question touches an uninsulated fire. However, as I will be back in New York when the first of this series of letters has appeared, and before the circuit of condemnation is fairly formed, I shall not feel the shock that ordinarily would be felt by him who would have the audacity to criticize the conduct of the colored schools of Washington. THE AGE sent me to Washington with instructions to investigate and report my indings, and this I shall do, missing none and favoring none—only facts as I ascertained them. Following out instructions, I have gone to the root of things, and will give my findings impartially, having in view but one—the awakening of the colored people of the District of Columbia to the importance of each and every one forgetting factual differences when the education of the children is concerned. Washington should have the most perfect and most harmonious school system in the country. It should be a model for all others communities. No city in the United States pays its colored teachers better. With the natural educational facilities at hand, and with Washington containing more bright and later colored men and women than any other city on this continent, the teachers it should be the best the live it and the least interested with be outside influences. Over thirty thousand colored children of the District of Columbia have their primary placed in the hands of some five-multiple colored teachers who graduate from excellent to very mediocre. The schools should be regarded as an institution for the aplift of the children and not an institution to be used as a anything for teachers and outsiders with an ax to grind, nor as a private position of the teachers. Now, has Washington a corps of bored teachers in her public schools to the best? Emphatically no, and will be a part of my duty, in order to inform to instructions, to show why and how a lot of sadly and glaringly impatient teachers have been saddled on the schools of Washington, and maintained there by a system of pull and distance that is almost as iniquitous as a cursed peonage system that once joined in the South. What is needed in Washington, and I look as one whose long service as a clogger fits him for seeing school children is a general housecleaning for the mixed schools of Washington. Pull could be elevated to the scrap pile of boarded inquities, and incompetent and action-breeding teachers should be parted from the schools, for the good the schools. There are a number of teachers who are solely incompetent, who are kept because of sympathy alone, right that a hundred or a thousand ambitious colored children be kept back, are their present stunted and their future retarded simply in order that some teacher or teachers who has cutlived his her uncle, coming to draw a stranger, they are incompetent earner, question home to the parent, it home to the board of the school, I press it home the superiors, and the supervisors, being a part of the wagon-useful, strips his pains to his care. I regret that is not regret—that there is not reason whereby teachers who are incompetent because age may be treated on a nominal lary P that there is no such prosecution in support retainer teachers at the expense the future the trails and thousands school is the first law of four twenty-five have regularly each collar, and have a portion for a rainy but themselves to pervery is no just bringing the future of combustions colored of their color even all, and the rule in order to over- rising from color them to serve out mening niche in the be considered is the No teacher, wheth whether grade whose morals fall breathe below purity with the training of has had her share the morality of some the past I find both even now the go- sip-monger's tongue rolls satisfying, though not edifying, in scandal affecting this or that teacher's morals. I have the utmost contempt for the assassin of character, and believe that both the assassin and the guilty assailed should be driven from the abode of respectability. Male teachers can no more, consistent with public interest and the pupil's future, indulge in gaming for money, or cultivate an appetite for strong intoxicants than female teachers can be guilty of that which would be charged as a crime even against the virgin Mary. There is but one standard of virtue that should be applied to male and female alike. These articles are not to be of such character as to make them muck-rakers. They are, in however, to be clean-cut and incisive. I shall turn up the furrows so that the public may see whether the surface soil is as good as that beneath the surface. I mean to handle fairly, though not unduly rough, all who contribute to the incompetence of the colored schools of Washington. My findings will be the result not of busy investigation, but rather the result of careful removing of the duse of years' accumulation. In my next weeks' and shall lay the residents of Washington some fact reflect upon it. As the parents who are and should be the most interested. It is to the parents I shall address myself. H.R.M.

The previous session, the house was in session before the session was called to order, the president prayed by the chaplain and reading of the record by the clerk. The Democrats, carrying their prejudice in their looks and dress, were much evidence, and were bitter in their denunciation of the Negro Senator Curtis of Mississippi, in his speech to the delegation of Negroes to Africa, and in his expression on Negro upbringing, especially those of the simulata class Senator Allen of Massachusetts, was on his feet instantly and take in defense of the Negro and its comparisons which seriously reflected the South and the role of the Negro Senator and his role on Civil War law. His fourth was as bitter as Senator Curtis of Massachusetts in his opposition to Negroes. Under no circumstances would he be permitted to the Negro to remain. He stood with the way of the program of the whites when brown in comparison to the Negro felt himself the equal of white people.

Where Feeling Would be Aroused—Many Northern Appointees Probable. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb 24—In his inaugural address it is expected that William H. Taft will define his position with reference to the Federal appointment of Negroes. While at the national capital a few days ago, it is said Mr Taft showed a draft of his inaugural address to certain friends. This draft contains a conclusive discussion of his policy toward Negro office holders of the South. With regard to this point the prerequisite for such office holding was stipulated as a demonstrated fitness for the office under consideration and a conclusive exposition of capability to share in the responsibilities of government. A further item stipulates that Mr Taft will make no appointments of Negroes which cause bitter feeling in that community which occurs. This position is somewhat different from that of Mr. Roosevelt, and those who have seen the draft of the inaugural address are of the opinion that Mr Taft will make few appointments of Negroes to office in the South. A general discussion of the subject with President-elect Taft indicates that the Negro is destined to receive larger recognition in the North where he casts a vote. It is said that where Negroes had demonstrated their fitness to share in the responsibilities of government and their personal qualifications for office, and where their selection would not create feeling in the community in which they were entitled to take their share in the administration of the public business. But where their appointment would tend to create feeling in the community in which they live, such selections should not be made and he would not make them. This position is not in accord with that of President Roosevelt. The Democrat of the Senate have just been engaged in a sharp fight to prevent the confirmation of the reappointment of W. D. Crum, to be collector of customs at Charleston, S. C. Dr. Crum was confirmed on his long history but after a long and desperate fight. When the reappointment was made the Senate Democrats saw an opportunity to get an expression from Mr. Taft right at the start of his administration. If they could hold up the confirmation of Dr. Crum until the expiration of the administration, the appointment either would have to be renewed by Mr. Taft, or it would fail. The Republicans sought to relieve Mr. Taft of this possible dilemma by forcing the confirmation, but the Democrats were so persistent in their opposition that the matter was finally withdrawn, temporarily by Senator Erie Frane of the committee on commerce to which the nomination had been referred. Now it appears that the incoming President was not to be embarrassed by such tacies, and has terminated to make a statement of his position right at the outset. Newark Has Centennial Exhibit. NEWARK N. J. Feb 22 — A Lincoln centennial and midterm of John M. W. Church. Academy street, during the week past. There were tables of exhibits showing the literary and industrial development of the race. Each evening was marked by a particular exhibit and exercise.

AUGUSTA, Ga., Feb. 15—Miss Mittei White, colored, has been appointed superintendent of the Lamar Hospital, to succeed Miss Angela Sullivan, who resigned some weeks ago. The new superintendent was born and raised in Augusta. She is a graduate of the Lincoln Hospital in New York, and held the positions of assistant superintendent in that institution for two years. She was superintendent for one year at the McDonough Hospital in New York, and took a year's postgraduate course in one of the London hospitals. The advent of a colored woman as superintendent at the Larsar Hospital does not establish a precedent, as the position was held by one for about five years Superior Health of Negro Children, JEFFERSON CITY, Mn. Feb. 23—In comparing the health of N'gro children with that of white children it has been shown that the former as superior health The following is what an authority had to say on the subject: An examination of the school children of Jefferson City, Mo., taken by the school authorities, resulted in disclosing that the recorded percentage of Negro children who suffer, from pain in eyes or ears is unquestionably too high, for we discovered that these children took a peculiar pride in having as many "symptoms" as possible, and that many of them seemed to consider sore eyes a sign of intellectual progress. When these two items are excluded, a comparison of the two races shows clearly the superior physical condition of the Negro children. Incidentally, we noted that the Negro children had by far the better teeth. Big Celebration at Poughkeepsie, POUGHKEEPSK, N. Y., Feb. 22.—The banquet of the J. O.

NEW GOVERNMENT FOR SOUTH AFRICA The National Convention Drafts Constitution for Commonwealth NATIVES CONSIDERED Will Have Voice in Affairs—Cannot be Denied Vote or Deprived of Right to Hold Office. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE CAPETOWN, South Africa, Feb. 18.—The first attempt at an actual Democratic government in which the African natives will have a voice in their own affairs has just been launched here by the National Convention of the African British colonies. Not only will native wishes be consulted, but, following the lead of the American War Amendments, the federal constitution provides that "no person who is registered as a voter shall be removed from the register by reason only of any disqualification based on race or color." It is significant also, that the Legislature sits in Capetown, Cape Colony, where the natives have the /ə/ of suffrage. The experiment there of native suffrage can be studied at first hand and it is expected that the three colonies, Transvaal, Natal and Orange will soon follow in the train of this great colony on the Cape in giving a qualified though an equal suffrage to the natives. Cape Colony will have fifty-one representatives in the National Legislature, while Transvaal will have thirty-six and the two inland colonies, seventeen representatives each. The Federal Senate will have forty members, eight coming from each of the four colonies and eight to be selected by the Governor-General of South Africa, the Viceroy of the King of England. All senators are to hold their seats for ten years. Of the eight nominated it is provided that one-half shall be selected on the ground mainly of their thorough acquaintance with the wants and wishes of the colored races. After four months of deliberation is secret at Cape Town, the National Convention to bring about the closer union of the British colonies in South Africa concluded its labors on February 8. It thereupon authorized the publication of the Convention, in the form of an act, to be passed by the Imperial Parliament, after the colonies shall have assented to it; but in substance it is a great charter of government for that vast stretch of splendid country which holds so much of the future in fee. Hence it may properly be called the South African Constitution. That it should have been framed at all, so soon after Cape Colony and Natal were at war with the Transvaal and Orange River Colony, itself remarkable, and that it should have been conceived in a spirit of Christian brotherhood with so brave and keen a hook to the coming years, is a wonderful tribute to the capacity and patronism of the men who did the work. In this, the Dutch were not behind the English High praise has been given to Gen Botha for his statesmanlike attitude, while the conciliatory and self-sacrificing position taken by ex-President Steyn has been such as to lead to his being called the Washington of the South African Constitution. The new Constitution follows the Australian model, which in turn was powerfully influenced by American experience. There is to be no unitary republic in South Africa. A Federal Government of large powers is to be erected, but the local government of the constituent provinces will continue to be nearest to the citizen, in all the chief relations of life, and will retain functions not unlike those of our States. There is to be a Parliament of the Federation, but the power to determine the right of suffrage is to be left, under certain general safeguards, in the hands of the separate colonies as before. Provision is made for the personal representation with the growth in relation but the total number of workers in the lower house shall not be less than that of the institution is the provision to the election of members of the Legislative Assembly shall be according to the principle of proportional representation with the single transferable. The seat of Government will be at Pretoria, while the Supreme Court will at Bloomfontein. The whole instrument breathes the spirit of fairness and there is general satisfaction over the creation of the new Government both among natives and whites. Leille Hill at Orange, N. J., Lincoln Ine. The Union Baptist Church Rev Wm P Lawrence, pastor, was filled to full seating capacity on Friday evening. February 12, to listen to a Lincoln address by Prof Leslie L. Hill, Principal of Wannassau Indiana, lived in Wannassau, and is a graduate of the East Orange High School and Harvard University. The pastor, in introducing the speaker of the evening, paid him a glowing tribute because of his decision to his race. Prof Hill said in part, "The man who achieved greatness, whom in spite of obstacles, all the disadvantages of humble birth, pushed him self ahead and accomplishes something, this is the man who achieves greatness and is more highly admired by us." "Lincoln's success was, sinlessness of purpose, and he had a popular ambition being worthy of that esteem. He decided to do something for clean politics and was thirty years old before receiving any en AGE. couragement and was dissatisfied with his success, but he said, 'I am going to be a man in politics.' As a lawyer when he found his client in the wrong, he would have been punished, but he said he would succeed but I am bound by Almighty God to be honest.' It is said, a body of students once waited on him and asked, if you were bound to be a liar to be a judge, would you be bound to think that don'ts are lawyers. A 'set of resolutions were offered by the Owl Brotherhood and adopted by the audience; condemning corner loafing and bulimous noise on the streets, and being the attention of the parents to the children, the right that them be more orderly in their conduct on the streets.' In attaining that his visit North was for the purpose of raising funds for his school, Prof. Hill said Andrew Carnegie promised him $15000 if he would raise $5,000 more. He said people at the clinton of his address a silver offering was taken up and presented to him, and cards were distributed among his audience for subscriptions. Short addresses were made by the following: Dr. A. E. Smyth, Rev. Dewitt Turpean, Jas E. Churchman and W. Barrett. The committee in charge of the subscriptions was Watkins, C. F. Tinsley, the President of Civic Brotherhood, J. H. Thompson, President of Men's Club, E. L. Moseley, J. Louis Smith, Sec'y: Rev. Wm. P. Lawrence, Chairman, Supper Committee: Meodames Richardson, Johnson, Woods and Knights. The Knights of Pythias in dress uniform led by Parker, made an imposing sight as they marched up the center isle, followed by the Men's Club of the Church, with their club colors. DR. ELIOT ON RACE PROBLEMS. Thinks All Races of This Country Will Ultimately Assimulate. MEMPHIS Tenn. Feb. 23.—In a speech here last week President Eliot, of Harvard, in speaking on the subject "Education the Means of Advancement," stated that the assimilation of races would ultimately come about in this country. He said in part: "In all parts of the country there are problems to be solved that would tend to interfere with our advancement. In the South it is the Negro problem. The same or similar problems exist in all parts of the country. On the Western coast it is the Japanese problem. In the East it is the ignorant foreigners of European countries. The means of dealing with these problems is education. "By this means from each of the races we will create a number of highly-trained professionals—lawyers, physicians, teachers and professional business men. Another advantage that will spring from this education is the answer to the races, which must be the head of the education this country effected by education. Dr. Eliot rapidly reviewed the advanced steps the country is taking in matters of sanitation, industrial education and the like, and concluded with: "The problems of industrial and governmental organization are the same all over the country, and the means to meet them are the same. Therefore we are all enlisted in one cause, which is the betterment of human welfare." Elder Biddle in Waterbury: The revival at the Mt. Olive A. M. E.

Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENT8 MASONS OF MISSISSIPPI Sever Relations With the Masons of State of New Jersey Responsible for Grand Lodges of Two States Refusing to Affiliate in the Future Recognizes Negro Masons—Well Known Negroes Connected With the Lodge that Has Cause the Delay. Special to THE NEW YORK AQB Prominent officers and members of the Grand Masonic Lodge of Masons of New Jersey refuse to discuss the actions of the Grand Lodge of Masons of Mississippi in withdrawing, a few days ago, all fraternal affiliations and correspondence with the New Jersey body because of its recognition of Negroes as Masons. William D. Wolfskeil, Grand Master of the Grand Masonic Lodge of New Jersey, has given out a statement in which he declares it was not possible for him to discuss the matter; that there is a ban on any members of the Masonic order in New Jersey giving publicity to any affair that concerned the order. To the contrary, the Mississippi Grand Lodge has not adhered to secrecy, but has given out correspondence that has been carried on between the two bodies. The difference between the Mississippi grand bodies and the New Jersey jurisdiction began August 23, 1908, when Grand Master Martin, of Mississippi, opened correspondence with Grand Master William D. Wolfskeil, of Elizabeth, N. J. asking if it were true that the New Jersey Grand Lodge affiliated with Negroes. To this letter the Grand Master of New Jersey replied that there was a Negro lodge at Newark (Alpha No. 168) that was in good standing and that there was no law in New Jersey jurisdiction denying to Negroes full recognition as Masons. Grand Master Martin took up the master with Supreme Representative W. A. Roane, at Ripley, Mass., and formal announcement of Mississippi's withdrawal from affiliations with the Grand Masters Martin said:— "In this matter I have done what I thought to be for the best interest of the fraternity. I weighed the conditions and sought the advice of our most conservative and best advised brethren. They almost to a man advised me to pursue the course I have. In my opinion it is the only alternative. The Negro in our land is unfit to assume the responsibilities and obligations of Masonry. It is an open secret that virtue and morality, which are indispensable qualifications to membership, are foreign to the race. "I felt it my duty as Grand Master of the Mississippi Grand Lodge to cut loose from any who would dare open the door of Masonry to a people whose standing for virtue and morality is a mockery to civilization." The action of the Grand Master was formally ratified by the delegates to the Grand Lodge. Several well known Negroes of New Jersey are members of the Alpha Lodge that has been the cause of the controversy, among whom are Prof. J. M. Baxter, principal of the Commerce Street Public School; James M. Miller, holding a position under Newark's city government; Louis A. Sears, Henry J. Mars of Brooklyn and Edward G.

George Washington, the father of our common country does not hold the place the merits in the hearts of American Negroes. Whether this is due to the fact that Negroes too largely, unconsciously aquiesse in that putrid palace about "this being a white man's country;" or whether it was because the "great Virginian held slaves," we can not say. The Negro is now sufficiently distant from physical and mental bondage to know the falsity of the one and to dispassionately view the circumstances of the other. This is the country and forever must be the country of the composite American nation. Neither descent from the Pilgrim Fathers nor the state of mind of their descendants or any other element of the American citizens can truly sing: "My Country, 'Tis of Thee." Just in proportion as the Negro owns the land of this country and just in the proportion that the Negro supports in war and peace the free and progressive institutions of this country, just in those proportions is this the Negro's country. That the Father of His Country should have given his sanction even in a slave State and in slave times to that curse of all curses is to be depreciated by every Negro. But that General Washington wished to abolish slavery, and that he recognized the Negro as a man and a soldier must also be remembered. Too familiar are the incidents to need repeating here of his address to Negro soldiers in the Revolution and of his treatment of servants. One he compelled to share his bed with him while to another he tipped his hat in response (continued) George Washington freed this country which is ours in common to-day and which must be ours in ever increasing measure. This government of the people, by the people and for the people is the common heritage of every patriot beneath the Stars and Stripes We, too, should cherish his name and revere his memory. JUDGE TERRELL PROMOTED. Justice Robert H. Teivell, since 1902 magistrate in Washington, D.C, has just been promoted by President Roosevelt to the judgeship of the Municipal Court of the District recently created by Congress The promotion carries with it an increase of authority and of salary When, in 1902, President Roosevelt was casting about to find a representative among the 90,000 negroes of the District for a place in the justice courts, Mr. Terrell was at once picked for the position. His promotion testifies as to the wisdom of the choice Possessing in an eminent degree, judicial pose, fairness and firmness and a thorough student of the law, he has been the most popular justice in the district. A graduate of Harvard in the class of 1884, Judge Terrell through a conscientious performance of duty and hard work has forced his way forward, has earned his promotion. Even now, we venture to say that he has not reached the zenith of his career --- GOVERNMENT FOR AFRICANS. The first and a highly encouraging attempt at an actual democratic government in Africa has just been made by the four British Colonies of Cape Colony, Trausvaal, Orange and Natal. Henceforth with the approval of the English parliament, these will be joined under a governor general with a house of representatives and a senate based on popular suffrage. The convention after four months secret deliberation at Capetown has provided that "no person who is registered as a voter shall be removed from the register by reason only of any disqualification based on race or color." In Cape Colony which has fifty one members in the Congress, while Transvaal has thirty-six and Orange and Natal, have seventeen each—the natives for some time have had the right of suffrage. The others are expected to follow in this respect their more powerful sister on the Cape. Each Colony will have eight senators in the federal senate elected by its legislature and eight senators are to be nominated by the general governor Of the eight nominated, it is provided that "one-half shall be selected on the ground mainly of their thorough acquaintance with the wants and wishes of the colored race. It is to be presumed in the absence of contrary provisions, that qualified natives, in Capetown especially, shall possess the right corallary to the right to vote, the right to hold office. that qualified natives, in Capetown especially, shall possess the right corallary to the right to vote, the right to hold office. While there is to be no indiscriminate enfranchisement of the natives, the natives are to be given in Cape Colony at least the great boon of a voice in their own government. While the colonies will regulate the right and qualifications of suffrage, the national government will protect the rights of the individual against the prejudices of party and state. Lest these rights should be denied or abridged the Supreme court sitting at Bloomfontein is endowed with high and ample authority. Though the seat of government will be at Pretoria, it is significant that the seat of the legislature will be at Cape Town, where the natives have the right of suffrage. That these four colonies nine years ago at each others' throats, should now, in a spirit of fairness and justice unite, is remarkable That they should recognize native rights and wishes, means we believe, the beginning of actual African salvation. TAFT WILL DO RIGHT. There is keen anxiety among Negroes over the disposition which President Taft will make of the Crum Case. The South makes the one objection to Dr. Crum, that he is a Negro The Negro race feels that Dr. Crum, successful, unblemished and highly qualified carries with him the recognition by the government of Negro citizenship in the South They feel that the rights of citizenship entail not only the right to vote and the right to have that vote honestly counted but the right to hold office as well They feel therefore that Crum should be reappointed to Charleston We have been assured, however, that the Crum case does not phase Mr. Taft. We are told that the case will be settled not only to the complete satisfaction of Negroes but with all possible satisfaction to the South. The incoming president has been the master of difficult problems. The settlement of the church land troubles in the Philippines was fraught with danger to the interests of this country and the Catholic church. The pacification of Cuba and the Philippines and the establishment of governments therein looking forward to republican independence involved questions of race rights as well as questions of national freedom. All of these questions Judge Taft settled with firm adhesion to justice, without the sacrifice of principles or the rights of an individual or a race. It is at once seen why the Negro need have no apprehension over the Crum case Taft understands thoroughly that a Gladstone, a Prince Bismarck and a John Taft all roller, in one and placed in southern public office would be unsatisfactory to the South, if he possessed a drop of Negro blood. He knows that if, as the South now demands, that only that man should be appointed to southern office who would be designated by a popular election in the community, that he could appoint neither a Republican nor a Negro Judge Taft knows that prejudice pure and simple is the issue. Judge Taft will be the President of all the people, black and white alike. LINCOLN HOME AND HOSPITAL More than ten thousand patients last year in the Lincoln Home and Hospital established in 1845 as a Colored Home make that institution the largest private hospital of New York Twenty-one young colored women graduating on January 14 from its Nurse Training Department make that institution one of the foremost training schools for colored women in the United States To maintain and extend this Training School and Home for the Negro race, to sustain this great cosmopolitan hospital up to its present high standard, the managers are attempting to raise a memorial endowment fund of one-half million dollars in the name of Lincoln Seventy-five thousand dollars have already been subscribed in this city toward that fund. Many well known philanthropists including Mr. Robert C. Ogden, President of the General Education Board are interested in the furtherance of this splendid work. Mr Samuel C Sloan at 475 Fifth Avenue has been placed in charge of the memorial fund. In the past the expenses of Lincoln Hospital have devolved upon white philanthropists. The increasing wealth and ability of Negroes make it incumbent upon Negroes to share the burden in a larger degree. As fitting memorials to the name of Lincoln, the Negroes of this country should not only pay the mortgage on the home of Frederick Douglass but subscribe liberally to the raising of the Lincoln Hospital endowment. In both, the Negroes of this country must have a deep and lasting pride. In both, Negroes can and should now show that pride. The Birmingham Age Herald says the two reasons why immigration doesn't come South are that Southern farmers do not want any great increase in white farmers and more than that white laborers do not propose to work alongside Negro laborers Nov. Mr Herald don't you think that there may be a wee bit of reason in this also that the peasant farmers of Europe and Russia fleeing the persecution of their native land do not care to move into the persecution of the laborers in the Southland? THE LIBRRIAN COMMISSION. Under the direction of that successful race-builder and with the firm and active sympathy of the present and the next administration, Liberia may almost rest assured of a brighter and an even freer future. That a Negro should be entrusted by America with a mission fraught with so many dangers and difficulties is a timely tribute to that leader who seems destined to be the helper of his people the world over. It is a welcome compliment to the utility of the Negro race. If the same standards are observed in the selection of the two remaining members, the commission will be no less able than that composed of Ambassador Andrew D White, Senator Benjamin F Wade and Dr Howe, husband of Julia Ward Howe, which went to San Domingo at the time of the agitation for its annexation to this country during the Grant administration. It will be recalled that the efforts largely of Charles Summer and Frederick Douglass defeated the project. The critical condition of Liberia demands that a commission no less able should be sent. Grave problems both of territory and government confront the Republic. Fruitful sources for these have been the uncharted boundaries of Liberia and her conflicting treaties with the great powers and the African tribes. There are internal questions no less hard a stable financial and customs system, the provision of a sufficient and sustaining education, the need of renovating the condition of the government, the dethronement of the grafters, the placing and instruction of honest men These problems require constructive and sympathetic diplomats, able to command respect abroad as well as at home. Such it seems will be the nature of the commission. Difficult as are these tasks, we predict that they will be done. A matter of vital concern to Liberans, Liberia will be helped. A matter of momentous importance to the Negroes of the world, the Liberian Republic will be preserved. --- EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS. With Southern congressmen using the anti-Japanese agitation opportunity to vent their spleen about the Negro being a foreign substance in the American body politic and Taft preaching here as everywhere that the Negro is an American just the same as he is, we wonder if the South will expel that foreign substance from their head before 1912. Booker T. Washington, American Commissioner to Liberia, the friend of the Firm-in regime in Haytay, the some time adviser of England on native uplift in South Africa and the spokesman of his race in America, still receives his weekly boost from Boston. Until now, we have never seen the statement so verified. Every knuckle a boost Mr Cal Johnson, owner of the successful new Lincoln Theatre, in Knoxville, Tenn., is planning to erect a $10,000 theatre in order to book all the first-colored shows in the country, and recently donated $10,000 to the colored M.C.A. of his home city. Using the name of Lincoln as a commercial asset and contributing his tainted thousands to a Christian cause, the Negro is rapidly leaving the name of a backward race backward. Sir Harry Johnston the historian of Africa's civilization speaking of the actual passing of the Negro problem in America says in the London Times, "In twenty years time, there may be no more need to discuss the color question in the United States." "O'wad some power the gifte gie us. To see ourselves as others see us." Objections are being raised to President Roosevelt's placing the head of Lincoln on one of the popular coins on the score that it savors too much of nonarchism and that Lincoln's name is far too tenderly enshrined in the hearts of men to thus debase it. Now what man is going to object to such debased legal tender even though Lincoln was king of men and deserves a softer resting place George Bolton and J E. Watson both white were arrested a few days ago at Texarkana on a charge of forging the name of a Negro to a deed to a tract of land near Leary, Texas. The colored gentleman of border city being sort of leary of their game got Mr Bolton as he was bolting by the border line of justice Mr George Holl of St Louis recently moving to Chicago, has purchased for $16,000 the property at 3106 State street proposing to erect at once thereon the construction of a high-tuned Negro hotel. If this worthy business man can keep a "holt" of his plans, until complion, able Negroes will yet he in state in the Windy City The San Antonio Express prints the picture of an aged colored woman 120 ye rs old, living at Lovernia, Texas, with her master's family. The lady is in the same class with the Negro who some weeks ago became the father of healthy quadruplets and with the champion heavyweight With These Negroes of Texas coming in faster and staying longer than all others, how are you going to beat the Texas Negro? In the death of Mr. P. W Oliver, Hampton Institute 1877, Roanoke and Possibly, Virginia, loses its largest land holding, and its wealthiest colored citizen. Talk about success of Negro education, those Hampton Negroes have analyzed success and the two chief elements of success they demonstrate by both precept and example are toil and soil. Governor B. T. Carroll of Iowa, in making Theodore Bell, a ten-second sprinter, his messenger to succeed Colonel William Coakson, for fifteen years Governor's messenger, said: "This is an age of speed and rapidity Now whether or not Mr. Bell gets the proverbial athlete's slowness when it comes to work, this is official recognition of the rapid progress of the Negro." Governor, formerly Congressman, Lilley of Connecticut has just appointed for the first time in the history of the State a Negro as Governor's messenger Now Mr. Lilley may have been in deep water on that Navy armament matter but he has certainly made himself solid with the colored contingent of Nutmeg voters Persentions in Madagascar "Speaking recently at the annual meeting of the Brighton auxiliary of the London Missionary Society, Rev James Sebree, of Madagascar, gave a lamentable picture of the condition of mission work in that island. He said that twelve years ago they had a larger number of people connected with their congregations and of children in their schools than now, with a greater number of pastors and teachers in all the other saints of the London Missionary Society put together; but with the appointment of the present governor, in 1906, a regime of butter hostility to all missionary effort commenced. The Y M C had been broken up, school teaching in the churches had been prohibited, with the result that three-quarters of their day schools were closed, and the official school teachers were instructed to gather the children on Sundays for secular lectures. Mr. Sibree added that although games and sports and debasing amusements were permitted on the Sabbath, "if twenty-one Malegasy met on the Lord's day to study the Bible, they were liable to imprisonment."—Missionary Review Wrecking the Republic. If anything is destined to wreck this republic, race antagonism may prove to be the wrecking force. Sacramento talks exactly like New Orleans or Charleston. Says the Sacramento Daily News. — Our worst offense, it seems, according to Roosevelt, is not to prohibit Japanese owning real estate and to serve on corporation directories, to but to prevent their association with our children. We can do up the Japanese in a business way but must not refuse to receive them on a social equality. The proposition is an impudent one, no matter if Roosevelt, Root, and the whole Washington squad of stall-fed diplomats are back of it. Not content with separate schools for white and black children in the South, there is strong protest in New Orleans, among the confederate organizations, against the adoption of a school textbook, simply because it includes Booker Washington as a subject, among others for essays by the pupils. Even so, tarth as Baltimore, a paper, the Sun declares it amazing that such a textbook would ever be considered as art for the school children in a great southern city. It might be maintained that the book is at least suitable for the numerous nugget schools in New Orleans, but after all white children cannot write compositions" on Booker Washington without endangering the noble Caucasian race, it occupies a very precarious position—much more so than the average white man would like to admit--The Springfield Republican Taft Cannot Break Ground The Southern Senators, by defeating the attempt to confirm Dr Crum, the colored collector of the port of Charles town have succeeded in their pleasant little game of putting Mr Taft "an hole." Whether Mr Taft will consider that he is in a hole, is a different question. Dr Crum has been an excellent collector so good that but for his color, nobody would suggest displacing him. We have the word of the Charleston Acus and Courier for his efficiency, for it said of Dr Crum last June, in speaking of his annual report, that "it is one of great value to the port" and that "he and his deputy have been doing their best for the interests of the port." But that was before his reenomination, now he is "a person of no business standing," a "mugger" who must be put out of office because his skin is black, and his presence there is "likely to put false ideas of social equality into other 'muggers' heads." That the office is well managed and business increased is forgotten. Mr Taft has tried hard to win the The Crum case is apparently to be the test whether he will win it in his own way or, by merely falling in with Southern desires, confess that the South has won him. We cannot believe that Mr Taft will ever take the ground that the educated colored American citizen, taxpayer and liable for military service as he is, shall not hold office in that action of the country where his race is numbered by millions.

This movement is led by Rev. A Wagner and Mr. Hall The Omaha Enterprise.

This is a matter that must be largely regulated in the home and unless it is done, teachers and the school board are powerless to prevent the unpleasant occurrences.

There are more things in heaven and earth and in New Orleans than our philosophos has dreamed of. There are text book makers who are honest no doubt, but are densely ignorant and disrespectful of Louisiana sensibilities. For many generations the Negro has been denounced by the pulpit, press and litera- ture of the South as insinuably inferior and vicious, even, so far, with that contact with him deteriorates and contamina the white man, and yet, after all this, a member of that race is made the subject for eulogies and simulation in the white schools of New Orleans "Do I wake, or am I dreaming?"—St Louis Advance PROBLEM PASSING. Eminent English Historian Condemns Southern Excuse of "tape." Although Lincoln the Emancipator is less heard of to-day than Lincoln the man of the people, the statesman and the President, there must be many thousands outside of the colored people whose minds will turn to the extraordinary progress of the American Negro since Lincoln struck the shackles from his limbs. An illiteracy cut from 87 per cent to something over 40 per cent in the three decades between 1870 and 1900, and from the 95 per cent of 1885, the ownership of vast tracts of land, the invasion of manufactures and the professions—these things would strike with amazement those who gave their lives for the liberals of the Negro, could they but come back to life. For to them the Negro was a mere beast of burden, often, as in the case of the Sea Islands Negroes, among whom the first black regiment was formed but little changed from their African habits of thought and life always pitifully ignorant and pitifully ragged, and often enough with lash-horn flesh and mutilated fences That there are discouragements enough in our national attitude toward the Negro forty-four years after Lincoln's death no one can deny. We do not suppose that anybody partaking in the celebration at Springfield, Illinois to day can forget that but a year ago innocent Negroes were butchered in the streets because they were Negroes. Perhaps we should give thanks that this infamous happenings was not last month or last week. In the steady undoing of the Negro's political privileges we are again reverting to that condition of half slave half free which Lincoln declared to he intolerable he would we believe he the first to say that a nativeborn American without a ballot is defenceless before his enemies is in no sense trivial free and he would find illustrations without number to prove his content in. For Lincoln to see those same poor black creatures who swarmed about him when he reached highmond after it fill whose pathic hybrids he curried with such wise and kindly advice now set apart in trains street cars places of amusement hotels, by an iron castle would appall the greatest apostle of democracy. Appall, but not discourage. When to his disappointment in 1856 but two persons came to the mass meeting he had called at Springfield to ratify the Illinois anti-Nebraska Convention of 1856 he heartened himself his partner Herndon and John Parn by saving "While all seems dead, the age itself is not. It loth as sure as our Maker loth. Under all this seeming want of life and motion the world does move, nevertheless. Be hopeful and now let us adjourn and appeal to the people. Sorrow and anguish. Regret themselves anguish to the people in whose hearts still resides that justice in which Lincoln never lost faith. Intended to be to the "last excuse on the heart of Southern politics" many orators, and all regulated conservatives for shading and oppressing the colored people" name's the crime against women. Sir Harry Johnson says, with refreshing a word, the world the elders ruled over out of the Southern States has had about enough of this bogus." While he was able to find twenty four cases of attacks by black men on white women in the 1900s he has leaped over. He says that the charges of rioting by white men against white and black women in the Southern States would be the misdeeds of the Negroes." But of course on this question the authorities are silent. The white South will like still less Sir Harry Johnson's assertion that it needs education more than the Negro, and his astonishment at the childish ignorance of press and that in is at hand; the white South is begin- to get the education it thirsts. Nevertheless, we wish the Lincoln ebration might have been marked, some great step forward for the old people, not merely the endow- ment of this college or that hospital, but creation by some of our philanthropy of a great fund to help the colo- people onward.

The subjects are all taken from British history, and are revealed with the most intense sympathy and reverence, is this intense sympathy which is enabled Mr Tanner to lift the veil us and to present to us modern, living and convincing pictures of the story past. Daniel appears in the lions' skin as convincingly free from danger as seems free from fear. The mental cultivation of the man is apparent in the wonderfully posed figure, and we are not surprised that these very real lions as they pace up and down, should away as they approach this silent power. Wherever Christ figures in a picture is noticeable that the artist cares less about showing the form and features of the man than the spirit. Always the people in the presence of Christ held silent and spellbound by this raiding essence. Martha and Mary regard him with loving reverence, the disciples carefully characterized, lively with wonder to his words, their nature strung to the highest tension. It is impossible not to realize that the speaker is no ordinary man, that his words are felt to be inspired and prophetic and it is also difficult to put a calm on one's enthusiasm for the artist. To the special natural qualifications the Mr. Tanner has brought to his work he has added culture. All his abilities mental and technical, seem to be well under control.

We declare our opposition to Negro young men and women bearing the plantation and crowding themselves into the towns and villages, and we are especially opposed to this allegation of individuals crowding into the northern cities in such large numbers.

Colored Dreammaker Organize. Colored dressmakers of Mme. Not less than forty Negro dressmakers assembled last Thursday evening at the residence of Mme. J. H. Becks in answer to a call for a meeting of colored dressmakers. The object of the meeting was to form an organization of colored dressmakers for mutual help and protection. Interest was intense, and after a little discussion of the project an organization was perfected with Mme. Beck as president. He was stated at the meeting that in as much as several of the large white dressmaking associations had either barred or snubbed the colored women who had applied for membership, and since those who had graduated from the white dressmaking institutions were never given the same opportunity to express their views, the colored women decided to form their own association and through this medium not only give employment to those of the trade unemployed, but the association will hold conventions once or twice a year at which time the president, the committee, all the latest fashions and the most advanced styles in women's wear. Besides the score of visiting dressmakers there were about a dozen or more of the pupils of Mme. Beck's dressmaking school present. Some of the visitors were Mrs. Yancey, Mrs. Eva Smith, Mrs. W II Thomas, Mrs. I. A. Dowdy, Mrs. McCall, Mrs J Gray, Mrs. Oscar Kennedy, Mrs. Chas, Miles, Mrs. Letitia Ribb, Mrs O II Winston, Mrs. B. F. Thomas, Mrs O II Johnson, of Yonkers, the organization will be known as the United Dressmakers Protective Association with headquarters at Mme. Beck's, 324 West Side street. The following officers were elected: President, Mme. J. K. Anderson, secretary, Mrs. Eva Smith. The president will probably call for Paris some time in April.
