Extracts from the Inaugural Address of William H. Taft. Adolio to THE NEW YORK ACM. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 4—In his general address, which was listened to towards to day, Wm. H. Taft, President of the United States, gave the Necessary serious consideraNon, decree that personally he has no race justice, and that the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States may be repealed. He urged In the past few years, he argued that the nature of fairness to both the poor and the Negro question the new Pres- sident. be forward with hope to increase the already good feeling between the state and other sections of the country, chief purpose is not to affect a state in the electoral vote of the South. That is a secondary consideration. What I look forward to is an ease in the tolerance of political views in kinds and their advocacy through the South, and the existence of a reable political opposition in every; even more than this, to an imbed feeling on the part of all the state in the South that this Government is their Government, and that its wars in their States are their officers. the consideration of this question not, however, be complete and full but reference to the Negro race, progress and its present condition, 4th Amendment secured them free; 4th Amendment due process law, protection of property and pursuit of happiness; and the Amendment attempted to see the Negro against any deprivation of the privilege to vote, because he was a Negro. The 12th and Amendments have been generally used and have secured the objects which they were intended. While 4th Amendment has not been observed in the past, it ought to be regulated in the tendency of South legislation to-day is toward the management of electoral qualifications which square with that amendment. course, the mere adoption of a conditional law is only one step in the direction. It must be fairly and be enforced as well. In time both cases. Hence it is clear to all that domination of an ignorant, irresponsible can be prevented by conditional laws which shall exclude from both Negroes and whites not the education or other qualifications not to be necessary for a proper protec. The danger of the control of an ignorant electorate has therefore been With this change, the interest many of the Southern white citizens in the welfare of the Negroes increased. The colored men must their hope on the results of their industry, self-restraint, thrift and success, as well as upon the and comfort and sympathy which may receive from their white neighbor of the South. There was a time Northerners who sympathized with Negro in his necessary struggle for conditions sought to give to him suffrage as a protection, and to enable exercise against the prevailing event of the South. The movement had to be a failure. What remains 4th Amendment to the Constitution and the right to have statutes of specifying qualifications for electors subjected to the test of compliance that amendment. This is a great notion to the Negro. It never will be sealed, and it never ought to be used. If it had not been passed, it be difficult now to to adopt it; but in our fundamental law, the Southern legislation must and will obey it, and so long as the statutes of the States meet the test of this amendment and are not otherwise in conflict with the constitution and laws of the United States, it is not the disposition or within the province of the Federal Government to interfere with the regulation by Southern States of their domestic affairs. There is in the South a stronger feeling than ever among the intelligent, well-to-do and influential element in favor of the industrial education of the Negro and the encouragement of the race to make themselves useful members of the community. "The progress which the Negro has made in the last fifty years from slavery, when its statistics are reviewed, is marvelous, and it furnishes every reason to hope that in the next twenty-five years a still greater improvement in his condition as a productive member of society, on the farm, and in the shop and in other occupations, may come. The Negroes here, American. The Negroes came here years ago against their will, and this is their only country and their only flag. They have shown themselves anxious to live for it, and to die for business to save it. It and do it. Encountering the race feeling against them, subjected at times to cruel injustice growing out of it, they may well have our profound sympathy and aid in the struggle they are making. We are charged with the sacred duty of making their path as smooth and easy THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT President of the United States as we can. Any recognition of their distinguished men, any appointment to office from among their number, is properly taken as an encouragement, and an appreciation of their progress, and this just policy shall be pursued. "But it may well admit of doubt whether, in the case of any race, an appointment of one of their number to a local office in a community in which the race feeling is so widespread and acute as to interfere with the case and facility with which the local government business can be done by the appointee, is of sufficient benefit by way of encouragement to the race to outweigh the recurrence and increase of race feeling which such an appointment is likely to engender. Therefore, the Executive, in recognizing the Negro race by appointments must exercise a careful discretion not thereby to do it more harm than good. On the other hand we must be careful not to encourage the mere pretense of race feeling manufactured in the interest of individual political ambition. "Personally I have not the slightest race prejudice or feeling, and recognition of its existence only awakens in my heart a deeper sympathy for those who have to bear it or suffer from it, and I question the wisdom of a policy which is likely to increase it. Meantime, if nothing is done to prevent, a better feeling between the Negroes and the whites in the South will continue to grow, and more and more of the white people will come to realize that the future of the South is to be much benefited by the industrial and intellectual progress of the Negro. The exercise of political franchises by those of his race who are intelligent and well-to-do will be acquired in, and the right to vote will be withheld only from the ignorant and irresponsible of both races" ATTEMPT TO DRAW COLOR LINE Failed in England—Attempt Made to Exclude Negro from Bink. LONDON, Eng. Feb 26—An attempt to draw the color line, quite a new departure in this country, met with a signal failure several days ago at Birmingham, where an effort was made to exclude a Negro student of the University from the local skating rink. The incident aroused a heated controversy. The students took up the Negro's cause and hired a lawyer to oppose the renewal of the rink's license. The management of the rink apologized in court this morning and promised not to make any race distinction in the future. : MOVEMENT IN ALABAMA STATE To Secure More Efficient Teachers For Negro Schools TEACHERS SEND LETTER Thanking State Superintendent of Alabama for the Consideration Given Negro Schools in the Past Special to The New York Am. Montgomery, Ala., March 2.—"More efficient teachers" is the slogan of the educators and other citizens of the race in Alabama, and a movement is on foot to secure more efficient teachers for the Negro children of that State. State Superintendent of Education Harry C. Gumnels has received a letter from the Negro teachers of Alabama in which their deep gratitude is M. expressed for the financial aid the State has given during the past scholastic year. The letter is signed by the president and other officers of the Colored State Teachers' Association of Alabama, which will hold an important meeting in Montgomery during April. The letter received by Superintendent Gunnels is as follows: Hon. H. C. Gunnels, Superintendent of Education for the State of Alabama, Montgomery, Ala. Honorable Sir—We, a committee representing the Colored State Teachers' Association of Alabama, wish to express our deep gratitude you our co-workers, and the good white people of Alabama for the kindly consideration which is being shown us as a race in the work of education. This, of course, is not new, but we feel we do have an extra occasion to express this gratitude. 1. You have this year made the school term of the Negro schools throughout the State one month longer than in former years. This itself is an action for which we feel under great obligations. It means, all considered, many thousand dollars more appropriation this year than in the years past, and much more advantage in the school room for every child who will attend. We wish to express the feeling and hope that the community and their one and around raise money to extend their school terms longer, then the en couragement which has been given them by what you have done. Already many communities have begun this movement, and will have this year seven or eight months' school. 2. We are, as a committee of the State Teachers' Association, particularly gratified at the encouragement which you yourself are giving our State Teachers' Association, by urging every Negro teacher in the State to attend, and by permitting the days in attendance to be counted as days taught. This will very greatly increase our attendance and enable us to make the State association what we so much desire—a source of education and real help to the entire teaching force of the State of Alabama. If we can make the association such a gathering, our gratitude will be shown by a more efficient force of teachers than we have in the past and at present. Of course, there are some hindrances which cause us not to have so strong a teaching force as we ought to have. In many school districts, as indicated by the report of the Board of Education, the teachers receive very small pay, and have to spend much of their time supplementing their libraries, etc., which should be spent in making effective service for the children at school and for the communities in which they live. In many counties, note that the average pay of college teachers in the rural districts is as low as $16 per month; few have an average of as high as $30, according to the report of 1006-1906. The standard of labor has been raised somewhat by your team, your coworkers, during the last two years, and we feel perfectly satisfied just as soon as funds will allow, you will increase the pay for students so they will be able to do what you should in order to be examples for the life for the communities in which they live. Because of the low pay we feel it is almost impossible to teach the best teachers in the country districts, just when we need them; and as a result, many of our country people, who push themselves to town in order that they may be our children where the best teachers are found. As stated above, we feel drawn from your past interest, that you have taken a purpose to change these conditions, and have in the course of these teachers in the country as good as well paid as those in the cities. Watching the progress of the good white people in the State and trying always to profit by their example, it has been our desire to the something in the way of improving ourselves as teachers, aside from the State Teachers' Association gathering. We are making an effort this year to run an independent summer normal for a teacher in the State, and it is made practically without a dollar and without the assurance of a dollar from anywhere, except what the teachers may be able to give out to the teacher salaries which they receive. We believe such a respect, with the proper kind of teachers, instructors who will allow the teachers who are in attendance, to in bring school life in connection with the community life, and bring the country boy in connection with the improvement in the community of the State of Alabama. It is our belief, also, and we know you will like this plea, that as common sense, this may be able to correct any unnatural force of Alabama, which we believe will be superior because of the results of the proper kind of teaching by the property trained teacher. Virginia spends over $3,000 for her colored teachers in summer schools. Louisiana, $1,400 for colored teachers; Louisiana $1,000, and Tennessee $600. From what you have done in the past we are led to believe and know that we have as good a citizenship and as true friends among the white people, as are found anywhere in the South; and we desire as representatives of the colored teachers of the State of Alabama, to express the belief that in the near future our beloved State will do even more than any other Southern State is willing to do for the summer training of the colored teacher. Again expressing our gratitude and highest appreciation for your kind consideration in all of our educational affairs, and praying that whatever further may be in your power to do, you will count us worthy of it, we are. Yours, on behalf of the Colored State Teachers' Association of Alabama, J. C. E. Lee, Pres. C. S. T. A., R. B. Hudson, Member Ex. Board, C. S. T. A.; M. J Moore, Cor. Secty. C. S. T. A. LIBERIAN COMMISSION Has Been Named—Robert C. Ogden, Jacob Hollander and Booker T. Washington Member. WASHINGTON, D C., March 8—Robert C. Ogden, of New York, Jacob Hollander, of Baltimore, and Booker T. Washington, will compose the commission to Liberia to investigate conditions in that republic. They will examine into the present political conditions in Liberia, confer with the officers of the Liberian government, and "report recommendations as to the specific action on the part of the United States most appropriate to render effective relief to the republic of Liberia under the present critical circumstances" Senator Hie has received from President-elect Taft a letter urging that an appropriation of $20,000 be made before the present Congress expires to pay the expenses of the Commission. The personnel of the Commission to be sent it is believed at the State Department, will inspire public confidence in the project. Mr. Ogden is known widely for his interest in Southern educational problems, and the general uplift of the Negro race. Mr Hollander is the financial expert who reorganized the public debt of Santo Domingo, and devised the plan under which the debt is now being paid in installments from collections made by American custom officer. The appointment of Boofer T Wash ing was forecasted several days ago. PETER H. H. --- NEWS AND OPINION ARCH 4, 1909. CONFERENCE A BIG FIZZLE Recent Political Gathering at Brooklyn, a Disappointment Disgusted With Manner in Which It Was Conducted—Display of Political Childishness Sorry, indeed, was that spectacle of political childishness exhibited at the tumultuous conference of Brooklyn Negroes which met last Thursday evening at the Fleet street church at the call of the Reconciliation Committee of the Henry Hyland Garnett Club. If the Negroes of Brooklyn cared for the power of unity and organization, they exhibited there only a desire for factional and selfish leadership. If they JAMES SCHOOLC Vice President of came to the meeting to reconcile their differences, now so disastrous to their political status, they exhibited only a bedlam of harangues and pig headed obstinacy, making the scene a capital sight for Puck. In all this, fairness makes it necessary to say that the chief and culpable offender was the Garnett Club. With neither an axe to grind, nor a grudge to satisfy, a partisan of no club nor faction, let me state the facts: All Negroes, with one of the two possible exegesis, came to the meeting feeling keenly their political plight. They were there to devise ways and means to make the Negro balance of power in Kings County a real power. Such was the spirit shown by the Kings County Republican Association delegation of seven led by the veteran, J. T. Lee. Such was the spirit shown by the First Assembly District delegation, whose spokesmen were Messrs. J. T. Nixon, R. W Eadwall and B T Williams. The same earnestness of purpose was shown by such other organizations as the Sons of Virginia, the Carolina, the Masonic Club and the Encipation Poclamation League. Such were the efforts of individuals like Rev T M Jacobs, Rev W M H Lacy, A D Ricc and Rev W R Lawton. But meeting with the chairman of the Garnett conciliation delegation, Mr Pierre Zeno, as presiding officer, it was evident very soon that that club had been instructed to rule or ruin. - The first motion, that of Leader Lee for a temporary organization, was immediately killed by the Garnett Club voting solidly. The same way went the motion made by Counsellor Spurgeon for a committee on consolidation for working purposes of all Brooklyn organizations. Thereupon, Mr Geo F. Wibecan, Jr. arose and said that the meeting's only purpose was to organize Kings County under the Garnett Club "the whole show." was the vein of the opening address, suspiciously long, of President James Ryerson. That same spirit of "make us boss or dere ain't goin' to be no show," was the tenor of the obstructive motions and points of order of Mr John A Dickelson, vice-president of the club. All three insisted that the great Garnett Club had given the citizens of Brooklyn this opportunity to wash their dirty linen with the organization. This alone, they claimed, was the purpose of the conference. Such one might have predicted would --- AGE. have been the outcome of the conference. For many months Counselor A. C. Cowan fought the united opposition of the leaders of the Garnett Club for the conference. Finally securing its passage, the father of the idea so timely, so vital to future Negro political success, was sidetracked. The presiding officer of the meeting with no semblance of executive force was substituted. Upon the shoulders of the chairman of conciliation committees in all such meetings the brunt of the storm of gathered warring factions always falls. It was, therefore, not surprising that upon this reef the hopes of the movements should be dashed to pieces. No word of disparagement as to the excellence of his citizenship, his ability in other fields or his high and earnest intentions is here given. But if in the conference now proposed for March 11 there is not a different and less involved chairman, no greater success will result. No word of disparagement is here intended as to the rightfulness of the Negroes of Brooklyn organizing under the Garnett Club. The prestige of its name and influence, its ancient breaking of the political ice in the separate school and other troubles, may entitle it to that tender and sacred place. "But this close corporation," as a leading member of the club said, "has almost monopolized the polit- CRAFT SHERMAN the United States tical field in the past. If it would monopolize it in the future it must produce a more substantial vintage than it has in the past. Practically nothing in the way of political consideration has the organization gained for the 18,000 Negro voters, whose position in the close county is so clearly strategic. A practical nonentity is the power of these thousands of black votes, except on Election day. As Rome ruled her colonies, so the bosses of Brooklyn rule Negroes by keeping them divided. This nonentity is maintained, despite our intelligence as a men and Americans. We must sink our personal differences for the common good and that of our children who shall come after us. This does not represent the intelligence of Brooklyn Negroes. A chance foreign visitor here-to-night, without the example of the Colored Republican Club across the city and our other successful organizations to guide him, would agree with the South that we are political children, that we have not reached the compromise stage of political development. Near the close of the meeting bitter water was exchanged between Mr. Fred R Moore and Mr. George Beican, Jr. during which the former hurled hitherto unheard charges. The members of the committee issuing the call were Messrs Pierre Zeno, A C Cowan, A B Logan, William F Abbott, G R Tucker, E C Chemaux, G E Wibbeaner, Jr.-GEO W HARRIS THREE WHITES LYNCHED. Young Men Mobbed for Assaulting Young White Woman. Mineral Bluffs, Ga, March 2—One of the most remarkable lynchings in the history of lynch law occurred here last week when three well known young white men were hung for an outrage upon a young white woman According to reports, the eldest son of D Londermilk got a fake marriage license to wed the stepdaughter of Robert Robertson, of Culberston, across the line in North Carolina. After seducing the young woman from her home, he, with his companions, brutally outraged her. Without and with as little excitement as that accompanying a Negro lynching a mob was quickly formed and the victim returned, and three of the young outlaws were strung up in the woods. No arrests of the mob leaders have been made and public feeling is assuming its normal quiet air. Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENTS BROWNSVILLE BILL PASSED Both Houses of Congress Vote Favorably on Measure To be Appointed and Soldiers Will be Given Opportunity to Prove Their Innocence HOBSON OF ALABAMA Makes Stirring Speech in Behalf of the BM —Many Democrats Vote Against Measure —Party Vote in Senate. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 2.—After many months of discussion by the legislators of the nation, the long fight for the discharged Negro soldiers of the 25th Infantry for an opportunity to prove their annecdice of the shooting of Brownville, Tex., on the night of August 13, 1906, has been won. The bill was favored by Theodore Roosevelt before it was introduced in the Senate, and last week both branches of Congress passed the measure. The bill provides for the appointment of a court of inquiry by the Secretary of War, consisting of five officers on the active list of the army, not below the rank of colonel. The court is authorized to hear all charges relating to the shooting affray, and must submit a final report within one year and designate what soldiers of those dismissed are eligible for reenlistment. The Aldrich Bill, which was a substitute for all the Brownville bills, passed the Senate by a vote of 56 to 26, the Republicans voting in favor of the measure and the Democrats, except Senator Teller, voting against it. In the House the bill passed by a vote of 200 to 101. Many of the Democrats crates were arrested. his family will cost the contest in my district, and may cause my defeat for reelection. I wore the uniform of the United States for 18 years, and I have never known a case where an officer or an enlisted man was punished at all severely without a court of inquiry. I know that he is not allowed to be punished to the extent of 80 days' imprisonment without a court-mandated at Brownsville the President of the United States should have ordered all officers and should to remain within the barracks and should have ordered a court of inquiry, followed by court-martial, and should have established the guilt and punished the guilty there. But he did not. He has scattered the guilty and the innocent to the four winds and prevented the execution of justice. "Mr. Speaker, I saw black men on San Juan Hill: I have seen them before Manilla. A black man took my father wounded from the field of Chancellorville. Black men remained on my grandfather's plantation after the proclamation of emancipation, and took care of my mother and grandmother. The white man is supreme in this country; he will remain supreme. That makes it only the more imperative that he should give absolute justice to the black man, and we ought not to make a party measure of this." During the debate there was much confusion, especially marked when Mr. Cockran (N. Y.), in supporting the bill, pleaded for exact justice to all. "How about the Japanese?" shouted Mr. Gaines (Tem.) "The gentleman's interruption." replied Mr. Cockran, amid a roar of laughter, "is always picturesque, but not always sensible." "But they will all be taken back in the army Mark my prediction," remarked Mr. Burleson, of Texas, with some heat. At the end of a spirited speech Mr. Clark, of Missouri, in opposition to the bill, was asked by Mr. Bede of Minnesota, if he ever before heard of a conspiracy in which 167 men were claimed to have been involved. Mr Clark provoked shouts of laughter when he replied that he had Members all around began to promote him, and he instanced the "Molly Maguiles, Ku-Klux, night riders halk knobbers, white caps, and the conspiracy that ran the niggers out of Springfield Ill." Others who opposed the bill were Messrs Williams Mississippi Henry, Slavden and Garner Texas Bartlett, Georgia. While those favoring it were Messrs Hill Iowa: Parker New Jersey; Prince Illinois Hobson Alabama; Madden Illinois Waldo New York; Sulzer, New York; Adalr Indiana; Miller, New York; Kelfer Ohio. The New York World editorially commented on Capt Hobson's plea for the reinstitution of the discharged soldiers as follows: "So seldom is there opportunity to praise Representative Hobson for his public utterances that it is the more gratifying to be able to commend him for his speech in behalf of the Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry whom Mr. Roosevelt discharged from the army without honor. Mr. Hobson's conduct contrasted honorably with that (continued on Page 3).

Mr. John D. Rockefeller, of New York, recently sent his check for $5,000 to the committee of management of the colored men's branch of the city and gave him the third installment of like size received by them on his pledge of $25,000. The amount received on the building fund to date is $30,002.93, all of which has been paid the contractor, $4,000 at present being due him. Enufaun H. and Coar Fistcochie, two half-blood Cork Indians, addressed the Central Labor Union at their meeting in this city a few nights ago. Their addresses were made through an interpreter. The former spoke with much bitterness of misrepresentations made to the group of misrepresentations made to the half-blood and mutuates emissaries to the national capital from the new State, who claim to be red men. Both expressed the hope that the next President would listen to the full-bloods instead of to the New Yorkers and fecas men. The appearance of the red men was an abhorrent Union. The union has promised the full-bloods all assistance at its command. Mr. and Mrs. Claude M.

BOOSEYLT AND THE NATION. Of no great public man in recent times could it more truly be the lot of a grateful people to say: We love him for the enemies he has made, than is true of President Roosevelt and the American people. Conversely, no President since Lincoln so clearly stands out as the door of good for the nation. The long and illustrious reign of seven years of the strenuous outgoing President, whose activities have touched and stimulated every phase of American life, has left its imprint where time alone will reveal its high value. Graft and hypocrisy hiding behind the screens of corporations and political machines he has driven into the fatal light of day. Honesty in commercial and political as in private life has been enthroned. A square deal to all men, rich and poor, black and white alike, has been engraved as the ideal in the hearts of the American people. This vitalizing of the conscience of the republic has saved, we believe, this country from the throes of fast approaching class socialism and race wars. To carry forward to completion this policy of the works of the past administration will be the task of the incoming administration. But their foundation has been the great contribution of Theodore Roosevelt to this land of the free and to the world. Yet history will credit Roosevelt with many another notable achievement benefiting America and mankind. The Prima Canal, linking the more great seas, will add to the momentum of the world, increase the size of the United States and open up civilization the full civilized peoples of Central and South America. Generations of Americans get unborn out of gratitude for the Roosevelt pure food bill will rise to call him blessed. The railroad rate legislation of the passing administration has stayed the aggressions of the railroads from corrupting the life and future of the American people. President Roosevelt tided this country "over a crisis more grave than any that had occurred since the Civil War" in the language of Justice Gray of the Supreme Court, when he saved from suffering the millions of his fellow countrymen, as he settled the Coal Strike in 1902. When the 'American President brought about peace between Russia and Japan, he not only did one of the beneficent acts of all time for the teeming millions of Japan and Russia, but he made his country the leading peacemaker of the world, a greater world power than ever it had been before. These and his many other achievements, too familiar and numerous to mention, have made President Roosevelt one of the very first of American rulers, one of the great characters of the world's history. THE BROWNSVILLE COMPROMISE. The passage of the compromise bill by Congress whereby all innocent Negroes discharged at Brownsville will be reinstated to former rank with back pay settles to the satisfaction of all that regrettable incident of the Roosevelt administration. The settlement of the controversy before the end of the President's term is indeed most firing. It must be as pleasing to the President as it is to the retiring Senator from Ohio, Joseph B. Foraker, and the Negro race. That no guilty soldier shall reenter the army and that full justice be done the innocent is all we believe that either the President or the Senator has ever wished. The strong and united disapproval by Negroes of the discharge has helped to bring the race together as never before. It focussed the attention of the world upon the character and valor of Negro soldiers and high praise ever since has come for their service both at home and abroad. During the Presidential campaign, designing politicians, black and white, sought to make a race issue of the discharge. Putting thereby the common sense and political judgment of the race to the test, the new administration is under deep obligations for the solid and vital support rendered by black votes in the border States. The Brownsville issue, too, has rid the race of its demagogues. It has The Brownsville discharge has this proved a blessing in disguise. The Brownsville compromise, doing full justice to all, benefits all. MEETING AT CARNEGIE HALL. "America means d-p-o-r-t-u-l-d-y," was the proud definition of a great and patriotic American. In this opportunity of America, the black has not shared equally in the past. But, sweeping as this statement is, we predict that henceforth the Negro will share more fully, because of the great meeting at Carnegie Hall on last Tuesday evening, at which addresses were made by President-elect Taft and Booker T. Washington. This is why we believe that better days are coming for the black men. These five of the fairest and strongest of Americans pledged themselves to secure a better opportunity for the Negroes. Dr. William Jay Schieffeln, the New York capitalist and philanthropist, who is trying at this hour to place New York's Negro artisans in suitable positions, opened the meeting. Bishop David B. Greer, the powerful Episcopal prelate of the Diocese of New York presided and declared that "opportunity for the Negro to become all that God had intended for him to become" was the solution of the race problem. Booker T. Washington, reaching, as usual, the hearts of his audience, drove home the conviction that the Negro is making progress and only needs an equal opportunity to remove his problem. President-elect Taft said "we've got to settle the race problem" by helping the Negro to help himself. And what Mr. Taft says must go now for four years; while President Frissell, of Hampton, solemnly pledged himself to carry on the great industrial foundation of General Armstrong. The splendid spectacle of Negro youths greeted with rounds of aplaus as they engaged in all the skilled trades upon the stage, only sank deeper the need and value of industrial training and opportunity for the Negro. This keynote of equal opportunity for the Negro struck by all the speakers never failed to bring forth applause from the packed audience of the leading citizens of New York, which braved the furious storm to attend the meeting in behalf of the Hampton Institute. Such was the impression made upon that great audience; such was the determination of the great speakers to secure for the Negro a better chance in life, that we predict henceforth the Negro will get a better chance. --- With the settlement of President Roosevelt there passes from power a great and true friend of the Negro. Let no Negro in this country make any mistake about that. With the promised reinstalment of the innocent of the discharged soldiers, the only cloud of suspicion anywhere must now pass. Either from the standpoint of substantial advantage or from that of the creation of sentiment in behalf of the Negro no recent President with him can compare. His predecessors have studiously avoided the issues of the Negro's civic equality. Not so with President Roosevelt, North and South he has given practical application of his doctrine that the door of hope shall not be closed in the face of the Negro. To recall the services of Roosevelt to the race would be to recall such of his efforts as those against unequal car accommodations, against peonage and in behalf of the Republic of Liberia. It would be to recite the more than the doubling of the number of Negroes in the Federal service since 1904, who then received $3,000,000 in salaries and now receive more than $8,000,000. It would be to recall the Crum case, the Indianola post office case, Charles W. Anderson, William H. Lewis, Ralph W. Tyler and the many others in whose appointment the President actually broke new ground. It would be to recognize that President Roosevelt has recognized the manhood of the Negro. We confess our liking for the persistent and courageous method of the President in doing this. Unprejudiced and refusing to be prejudiced, he has treated the Negro as an American and not as a suppliant. The Negro race too hopes that President Roosevelt passes into private life only for a while. The Negro and the nation will need his services in the years to come. Two years hence when a Senator will be selected from this State, the tens of thousands of black citizens in New York will solidly support his re-entrance into the lists. Wherever he may go, whatever he may do, the prayers and best wishes of 10,000,000 Negroes will follow him. There is no Negro in this country today who cannot hold his head higher, who cannot take greater hope and courage in the future because of the friendship of the Theodore Roosevelt. The Buxton, Iowa, Gazette, being the largest paper in its community, recently carried, for a rather nice little consideration we suspect, a State tax supplement. In this respect the position of the Gazette among Negro newspapers is unique, but position makes all the difference in the world. To-day, William H. Tate of Ohio, becomes the twenty-fifth President of the American nation. To-day, a solid man and constructive stateman is entrusted for four years with the destinies of the complex relations of the complex American people. To-day this country finds itself on the brink of a malaestrom of readjustment. While the issues President Taft faces may neither be so bold nor pressing as those which confronted Washington and Lincoln, they are none the less vital to the future of our republic. Standing clearly out above all others are these: The problem of perpetuating the equal opportunity of all, the problem of adjusting the relation of the American Negro. That capital shall be' made to serve and not rule the interests of the American people is the Krat. That every man in this country shall get in proportion to his ability and his effort the rewards of his own labor is the problem of the future. That trusts of capital and labor shall not be permitted to stratify Americans into the permanent classes of the Old World is to perpetuate united and happy the American people. Vital as is this issue to the Nation, no less is it incumbent, to the administration, no less, vital is it to the future of the republic that the Negro be not made a political serf. The equal suffrage of the Negro may not be suspended even for a time without hazarding the future equality of all Americans. The full status of citizenship guaranteed to him by the Constitution, as the new President has declared, must be enforced in LETTER and SPIRIT. The Negro needs the boon of political rights. The republic needs the enforcement of equal opportunity and equal rights for all American citizens. That Taft will live up to these high duties his full and fruitful life gives us happy assurance. With malice toward none, with charity for all, promising to do right as God gives him to see the right, it seems almost divinely appointed that Taft should now become President of the United States. THE ENLARGED HORIZON The enlarged "Horizon," which has been advertised for several months, seems to have a hard time making its way into the world. It has a prominent list of backers, and supporters, and editors, but in some way these men do not seem to be able to bring things to pass. Of the five men whose names are down as backing this new venture each one is a graduate of some college or university, and it seems that the concentrated energy and brains of these five college graduates ought to result in producing a monthly magazine that could come out regularly, and be up-to-date and attring as a first-class magazine should be. We wish, however, to warn our friends that the Negro people will not support a magazine that has no element of hopefulness. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS. "They are Americans," as the basis of Taft's treatment of Negroes, is the fullest tribute and pithiest promise ever given to the Negro race in three words. Like the Roman boasting, "I am a Roman citizen (civis Romanus Sum)," the Negro would be nothing higher and better than an American. The great ironmaster, among others, has sent his check for $1,000 as a donation to the Frederick Douglas Memorial Hospital and Training School for Nurses, in Philadelphia. This philanthropy, it seems to us, goes further than his previous gifts. Hitherto he has pinned medals on heroes who have reached and rescued. Here he is helping the unreached. --- The Shiloh Baptist Orphanage on the strength of the small check of President Taft's, has raised the $3,000 with which to pay off the mortgage on its farm. We agree in this case with that higher critic who objected that: "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches." Here, at least, they are equal. The Los Angeles Daily Times, in its splendid Lincoln number, tells of its genial and wise Negro capitalist, Rob C. Owens, who owns one piece of property worth over a "quarter of a million dollars." Starting as a day laborer twenty years ago, having the dollar-a-day laborer's strength, a one thousand dollar smile, and a million dollar brain, no wonder his brain has prevailed. Morris Collins and William Fonda, two white men with blacked faces, were caught last week at Chester, Pa., with the goods on,—stolen chickens. For the last generation, for various reasons, white men in this country have been blacking their faces, but in the "callins" in the limelight and in the dark watches of the stilly night before the cock crow, they have been found unsuccessful limitators. Four Negro clerks are now being employed in the Missouri Legislature by the Republicans. Those Missouri Negroes, while they are loyal to the G. O.

The Christian News and Courier is having one commission after another, as Bryan has right, with his usual modesty, fulfilled. The Nass election prediction and virtually declared himself a candidate in the words, "I am not an out-and-out candidate." That's true, but Bryan has been an out-and-out-and-out candidate. The scheme was announced on February 25 at Atlanta whereby 20,000 acres of land will be purchased, which will be sold to 400 Negroes in 60-acre lots on the installment plan, as a practical uplift to Georgia Negroes. At that, there will be certain lofty individuals in Atlanta who will object on the score that it is a scheme to die the Negroes down to the earth. Andrew Carnegie, contrary to his usual custom of helping the community on the condition that it meets him part way, has given outright a library to Mound Bayou, the Negro town monopolizing most all of the attention in its State. The white Mississippians are now divided into two classes: those black in the face with envy and anger and those singing the familiar song, "How I Wish My Color Would Change." "Jim" Jeffries, willing to sacrifice himself on the altar of his race, now declares that he is anxious to fight Johnson, but that it will take him a year to get into condition. While this long running start before his teap smacks of the quitter's game, we want to remind our daily contemporary that "in this stand, a great change has not gassed over the former exponent of the color line, but that he cannot stand for this great change to pass from him." The Hon. George W. Chatters is reported by the Demonstrator as "one of the wealthiest and most influential citizens" of Coyhoma Co., Miss., irrespective of color, and that so fluent in his conversation that he "usually leaves one with the feeling or desire to see him again." Without this last clause on his grasping personality, the honorable gentleman name, though indicating a fluency of speech, would cause one to wonder at the sources of his wealth and influence. Rented at the Home The President's Barber. To the many correspondents who continue to ask us whether or not President Boosevelt's barber is still carried on the pay roll of the Treasury Department as the official information from Washington shows that he is so carried, and at a salary of $1,600 a year. To those who ask if the question passed last summer in Washington, we reply that he passed it at Oyster Bay. To those who ask whether he is white or colored, the answer is yes. But not negro, but we cannot see what difference he makes in his express eagerness to know how we reconcile an eminent personage's renowned utterances for civil service reform with the practice of paying a barber's fee. He is also the rolls of the Treasury Department, although he is assigned to shaving and hair-cutting duties at the White House, we apply that we do not attempt any such reconciliation, nor do we take the way, all White House employees are paid by the Government. There is no reason why Mr. William Dulany should have an exception to that rule. But that does not mean he will not pay the numerous inquiries which reach us—The Boston Herald. Taft on the Negro. It is significant of the breadth of President-elect Taft's sympathies that he should interrupt the work of cabinet makers in Washington, and Booker T. Washington in this city, in support of an appeal for funds to extend the work of Negro education at Hampton, and just made a highly successful social campaign for "the winning of the South," yet it is to be noted that he emphasizes the importance of the one solution of the race problem in this country. He points out that you cannot remove even 650 Negroes from a population of 100,000, the violent process in the part of the whites, because the labor of the Negro is needed for their prosperity. He added that the two races are living side by side, must be treated equally, and the only way to reduce the friction of that situation is to increase the usefulness of the Negroes by extending and increasing the number of Negroes for which Hampton and Turkester stand. That doctrine is, of course, not new. It has become the accepted solution of the question of considerable body of thinkers, both in North America and that Body is steadily growing larger as the success of the work done and in spired by these training schools increase. The success of this effort is to this belief, but this emphasis is at this time is both helpful and significant. He is the friend of the whole South, of every race, but he may be the friend of the Negro. His errors which will quicken once more the dread of social equality among the Southern whites, a fear more infuriates to the progress of the Negro than any other group could be invoked.

People are so created that they need entertainment, or, in other words, they are going to be busy at something. It is the custom of many of the parents to turn their children loose on Sunday morning, and to go up to school to drift about seeking for themselves association and entertainment. The usual result of such looseness on the part of the children is the gambler's company, learning, perhaps, to prefer the gambler's den rather than the Sunday School and church. This accounts largely for many young boys in many communities to be gamblers.—The Tuckekee Messenger. Everything possible should be done to encourage the business aspiration of Negro men and women on the part of our white friends as well as our own people, to create false hopes and encourage useless undertakings among Negro people. There are many worthy enterprises operated by Negroes in this city which should be several unexplored fields which offer good returns to the energetic man or woman. But everything possible should be done by the people to discourage the enterprise, born of spite and jealousy, in the United States of America and power, like President-elect William Howard Taft, Mr. Andrew Carnegie and Cardinal James Gibbons, are so sympathetically and generously disposed toward them; and are key to courageous and frankly in defense of justice toward and frankly in defense of justice toward all men regardless of race or condition. It is especially gratifying to us to note Cardinal Gibbons strenuous opposition to the disfranchisement scheme in Maryland.

Recent report has it that 120,000 whites have lost out in Mississippi owing to the qualification tests. More than likely the white voters have about 600,000 white inhabitants. Voters are usually reckoned at one-fifth. If that rule holds good there would be no white voters left. It stands to reason that the white vote has been largely reduced to about 150,000 who have felt that the white man could not lose. The Negro vote of something like 180,000 is reduced to 6,000. Awful to think of as a single fact.

At a banquet of Baptist Young People, Judge Neelan spoken on the vitally important issue in setting forth the problem the Judge suggested two solutions. He said that 75 per cent of the nation's criminals to-day youth are not ever had any industrial education, and that 90 per cent of the youth in our reformatories never had received industrial training. He believed that the trade trade was one way of solving the problem. The Judge also called attention to the fact that the very large proportion of the lack of parental control and training.

One of the four Negro farmers who are so exceptional because of the progress they have made and are making and who attended the Tunkegue Negro Conference, February 17 and 18, is Mr. Scott Bone. The Negro farmer of Talladega county, Ala.; Deck Jackson, of Albany, Ga., and W. S. Harsug, of Goldborough, N. O. On Tuesday night before the closing chapel services Dr. Washington introduced a low-built, thin-faced man a little more insistent, enthusiastic and quasiless man who attended the conference. This man was Scott Bond, "Old Arkansas," as he nick-named himself and was called, during the session he sat many things in his mind, including the fact of which were very good. But this is what he said to me in an interview with him: "About ten years ago I came to this conference. heard the Gospel and I have been preaching land-buying, but I have not forgotten and done nothing but that. As for myself, I own 2,200 acres of very fine land in St. Francis Madison. I own two cotton gins; one on my place and the other is in Grittenden county. (These two counties adjoin.) In the first one I have ginned 2,143 bales of cotton. In the second one I have ginned 1,600 bales were ginned up to Christmas time. Of course I gin for anybody who wants me to. During the past twelve months I handled $25,000 worth of cotton. From my last year's crop I have sold 507 bales of cotton, leaving me 25 or 80 bales on hand. When asked if he cultivated any other land besides that which he owned, he replied that he "rented 1,000 acres during the winter months of the season." Aside from controlling two cotton gins and 3,200 acres of land, Mr. Bond owns a general merchandise establishment at his home. Mr. Benjamin Reynolds, "boss farmer" as he is called, of Talladega county, in another attendant at the Negro conference, has been heard. The term "boss farmer" is applied to Mr. Reynolds by the white people of that county as well as the Negro population. He is the natural leader of the Negro population, and upon which there are many tenants and share croppers. In obtaining land from Mr. Reynolds it is necessary for each one of these tenants to raise their own meat, working on his 800 or more acres outside of the tenants, are compelled to raise at least one hog. To show them he is right in this "Ben" Reynolds, as he is the natural leader of the Negro population, and never is his meat-box empty. On his place Mr. Reynolds operates a store of his own to supply such as are the necessities to his employees. In this store he sells their money, as he never allows them to buy that which they do not need. In all this it cannot be said that he really competes them to do just as he says. He really competes them to do just as he says. Neither are they compelled to stay on his farm. The way these people in his immediate vicinity obey the leader, the county, give car to what he says and practice whatever he tells them is best. It is said that he goes over the county at all times he can and takes to it. He gives car to the family, driving it to plant and how to plant their seed in such A new farmhouse was built in the town of Talladega, and it is not so with this same farm. This farm in his community is the land he is building for his farmer, he is building for him, and that such a thing may happen. It is not so with this same farm. This farm in his community is the land he is building for his farmer, he is building for him, and that such a thing may happen. He is now planning to build a fine school-house for his community and while attending the conference was he furthering his plans in that direction, the conference takes the most interest in the culture of his own farm work in the Colleague Negro Fair, whose members constitute the Negro population of Talladega, county that each session is better than the previous one. This year he brought down seven articles that were on exhibition at his fair this past year. Generally, of these articles, nearly everything is placed on exhibition. When "Bent" Reynolds started, he had almost nothing. When he married her he but a few dollars in his pocket, and we had her horse collare, and I presume he built his house in which he lived when he first started. Now it is altogether different. He lives with his family in a nice house in the city, and his check is good for a thousand dollars. He sides himself, he has four sons who work with him on his farm. Twelve years ago, when the spirit of land-buying and farming began to settle more forcibly upon the Negro farmer than it had in years before, the country Georgia placing the first bale of cotton on the market for sale. This man was Mr. Deal Jackson, of Albany, GA. But since that time he has become practically the man of the market, gla, for not a year he has passed from this time he set the farming world to talk about "Negro putting the first bale of cotton on the market," up to the present day that he has not been in the least with the Negro population in the variety which he raises anywhere. During the expiration he spoke. Everybody was anxious to quis the old man. He was very sensitive in his information, and it all had widened the number of varieties he knew of the variety which he raises the Prolific. At this the house was propped in its applause. They wanted to know about the kind of fertilizer he used, the number of plow he ran, the number of horses he used, the number of treated him, and all that. It was until he was asked whether his land was better than the land his neighbors used that a good, wise and old-fashioned man could make much in de land as 'tis in de man who works de land." Mr. Jackson owns 2,000 acres of land and some valuable city property. On his farm he runs forty-six plows. When he played on his farm he said that he had never had the time to count them. He was then asked if his employees treated him like the same respect they did the white plow. He said that they called him "boss" and treated him just as they did white farmers. Somebody in the audience silently thought that with the great effort he had in the farm he would take care of all that land and county property also he must not have to for it all just ill. Imagine the surprise when he said he did not own a parsony any of it. One of the most memorable events at the conference is not only the graduation not a fairy tale but the fact that he to become a farmer. He was Hagans, of Goldsborough, TN. He was response to questions said: I graduated from Howard University in the land, all of which has been paid for. On this farm I have 60 or 60 persons working, or, in other words, there are about ten families living on my place. We farm in the city, we farm in the city, we farm in the city, but always live out on the farm in the summer time. However, I do farm work just the same as the other men I employ. I am the man who is after finishing his course at Howard University he returned to the farm to make his living. It was very interesting to be the other man who many opportunities for the Nero to have in the soil. Some might say that he has never anything else to do and naturally was inclined to return to the farm. His something else, and as further evidence, it is said by some who know that Mr. Hagans once was secretary to Congress, Washington, D.C. This was after the graduation from Howard University. When further inquires were made which his father had left him when he died. Outside of his farming he said did nothing else. EUGENE V. LAUGHAM TO TOUR SOUTH CAROLINA. Dr. Washington and Party to C Through State. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 1.—The arrangements for the tour of the Booker T. Washington party through South Carolina have been practically completed. A letter from Mr. W. T. Andrews, at Sumter, S. C., who in conjunction with Rev.

SUPERINTENDENT landicapped by Board—Should be Responsible for Appointment of Teachers and Assignments (Special to THE NEW YORK AUCTION) WASHINGTON - D. C. March 11—No one has or can dispute the statement that pull has been a potent factor in the colored schools of Washington. I challenge a successful contradiction of this statement. It has been said that Washington is a city of a thousand factions. This seems apparent when you begin an investigation of the colored schools here. It is quite hard to get at the facts because of so many conflicting rumors, statements and accusations. Early in my investigations, I found it necessary, in order to strike pay dirt, and in order to get facts to establish and maintain a school office service plan. I discovered that the investigation, and the account of it, should absolutely impartial, and with this in view, I had each statement corroborated by two other than the accusation came, each party always in ignorance of the other. Unless the statement of the first was corroborated by two others, disinterested and knowing persons, I made it a rule to evidence whatever in the first statement. To show how conflicting are rumors in Washington, I might state that one will tell you that the conditions of assistant superintendent alone; another will say that Mrs. Mary Churchurnell's desire to run the schools is impossible; another cotter will say that the colored newspaper published at Washington is evil genius that keeps alive discord; another will claim that this principle is wrong; another will lay all the blame on three Negro members of the Board Education. And then some will tell us that this or that teacher is a tale from down all these regs and rumors. Hortoferra the assistant superintendent been a mere figurehead, and the presence has been somewhat handicapped. The notion has obtained, and it is of our standing, that the colored members of the board should be responsible for the teachers, their appointment and the education has obtained, and it is of our standing, that the colored members of the board should be responsible for the teachers, their appointment and the education has obtained, and it is of our standing, that the colored members of the board it is assistant superintendent. He should be responsible for the education that you can have elected and for the education all the members of the education all the members of ability and intelligence, because of ability and you have to be sure that the teachers. The students who might be said to be best for such directorship is the one to be given power, for the same reason that superintendent should be supreme in acting the teachers. Only in this way can you have a more feasible power over the teachers. It would be far better for the schools of Washington if the Board of Education had but one Negative. It would make for disarray. The three now holding do not dislike for harmony. When it comes to utility, there is no need to miss Mrs. Terrell and the other one. When it comes to usefulness, the and John F. Cook is not to be missed. When it comes to beauty is to be the "sweet and yellow leaf", is really transacted by age—simply too old to be continued as a member. It will enable question. Neither Mr. Horner's election to membership of the board really brought any strength to that body, and shall it be But back to the question of pull. We three colored members have each their friends, formed by long residence and social contact in long residence, impersonal vacancy to filled promotion to be made, they are appointed by these friends, some of them are no more fitted for teaching and some are some of the students they are fitted for medical practice. The result is an attempt to pull and haul the superintendent and to the way of thinking of each of these members with a better conception of the real need of the schools, and the super requisites of a teacher, has his own place, which too frequent the board, becomes the members of the board. The teacher, in every instance, who secures appointment or promotion over the head of the superintendent, and who, on the board, becomes a disturbed element because he or she feels that a higher power secured the appointment or promotion it is the highest level of the board, becomes the board, serves. That is why there are so many faculties in the colored schools of Washington to-day. This is why the teachers of teachers are the most capable and incompetent teacher. In point of real ability, Washing-colored schools has the best colored superintendent in the history. He may have locked in executive ability when he assumed charge. And yet he posed, or shown too much of this ability, he would have been. He may have locked in executive ability when he assumed charge. And yet he posed, or shown too much of this ability, he would have been. He has had a decided way to go, to beet by board members who had favorites, beset by teachers who were plotting against him, and who impressed influence upon them, plus than when doing the inconclusive task. part that the colored newspaper part is. Washington, which bears BENJAMIN B. ROBINSON M.D., Boston, Mass. ST. MARK'S UNION Holtz Big Meeting—Debt-Bank Give Dance—Other News. Boston, Mass, March 2.—Mr. John Daniels, secretary of the Congo Reform Association, was the speaker before St. Mark's Union last Sunday afternoon. His subject was, "Walt Whitman's Message to the Negro." Mr. Daniels's pertaining to the Negro race made his appearance a matter of special interest, quite apart from the remarkable popularity of the meetings of St. Mark's Union, and a great concourse was there to greet him. The paper was one of the most popular works. Whitman aroused a most interesting discussion. Dr. Daniels's interpretations of the spirit of Whitman's poems was powerfully enunciated and bore the enthusiasm of a high estimate of the undeniable genius of Whitman, and very successful in his readings from some of Whitman's best known poems. "To You" was signally effective in BENJAMIN B. F. Boston, its rendition. In the discussion which followed Wm. Stanley Bradwaite said that Whitman's "Leaves and Grasses" was more valuable than the Constitution of the United States, as it embodied more of the essence of the brotherhood of man. Among other things, it was the gift of Taylor, Lovett Groves, Barlow, Clement G Morgan, and Miss Ethel Caution Davis. None the less interesting was the musical part of the program. Miss Margaret Toy, sang "Oh! I Know a Lovely Garden, so charmingly that she was compelled to respond to an ennobled man, who favored a duet.

Persuasion is all respectable people were taught to congratulate themselves that the academic of Negroes assailing white women in the city was past history; they were pained to read of another brutal assault on a white girl by a black man. A black woman was disgusted that white men disgusted as Negroes are committing some of these alleged assaults.

WASHINGTON, D. C. March 3—From a correspondent in Monrovia, Liberia, the State Department has received a letter touching affairs in that little rebellion he has found general conditions much better than they had been represented to him all along the course of an African trip of six months. The letter says, "Everything here is reminiscent of home—the flag, the houses, the names of the streets. Every college in the country is founded on American benevolence. All its institutions are unique in Africa. Yesterday, wandered the streets of the courtyards nearly every tombstone I read 'Virginia,' 'South Carolina,' and so on. "After a painstaking effort to get to the bottom of things, I am convinced that the government is to be commented on having hand a head bob in spite of its poverty and the future of the country is secure if the Liberians could only have the assurance, that the integrity and independence of Liberia is secure. There will be no difficulty about reforms if the threat of partition could be offset with little little by little and country would see them through as in the case of Cuba and China."

Ten days ago an- ‘poumcement was made that the Chocolate Drops, in which King and Bailey are being featured, had been booked over the Sullivan and Consi- dine Circuit. Both white and colored members of the theatrical profession shook their, heads in the negative when acquainted with such informa- ‘tion, as it is widely known that Sul- ivan and Considine have refused to play colored acts for more than ten years, The only colored acts that pave managed to play over the Sul- livan and Considine Circuit in recent years have been those passing for white. With the cirguit controlling thirty-odd theatres, the actions of the management of this cirtuit have been a thorn in the side of the colored waudeville performer.

Our attitude, toward crime, as servants of the most high God, we deeply deserve the outrageous conduct of the law enforcement among us. We have no fellowship with them, and no sympathy for them. We have no respect for them; and yet we think that the police department committed a great outrage against the peace and dignity of the city by making so many unwarranted arrests in connection with this affair. But we desire to be rid of that looting clan that robs their character and habits are wholly at variance with what we conceive to be our best interest. And, Whereas, we believe that the desist and deserving element of our race have been misjudged by the magnitude of the press reports of this affair, we call upon by a deep sense of our ourselves in the follow-ing resolutions: Resolved, art, that we, the ministers, representing the two great branches of African Methodism as they obtain in this city, do here in convention assembled most solemnly protest against and oppose the measures now opened for public patronage. We are opposed to these, and we hold them in beset contempt as the greatest possible menace to the peace and dignity of our community, and the very existence of our nation, and the following conditions that concludes to the growth of criminal lots and assassins. Resolved, Further, That our ideal of civic righteousness prompts us to express our deep sadness and we hope to sanction this low type of violence against good government. Received, 2d, That we stand unalterably and eternally in favor of closing and forever keeping closed all houses of the State which are now open for public use with medal emphasis a higher standard of municipal government to the end that those in teaching changes may be brought about in our civil life. Resolved 34. That we hereby petition the city authorities to keep under eternal surveillance every unpolicious character and before that may infest our city streets and be use the full power of the law, the police, the fire department, the city police, the city police protection is violated and the better claim of our citizens may be made that all innocent people may be protected from the city. reserves. Further. That we greatly appreciate with all of our people who may be unable at this time to find employment. We express ourselves as hopeful of an early change for the better, but those whose secret sworn eternal purity remains will be the shall hope that they will soon find it more congenial in other climes. 5th. He it Resolved, That we teach and encourage our people to have the highest regard for the laws of the land. There are laws that we should serve to any member of our race who looks with levity on the strong arm of the law, which is our only safeguard against the demon-rapist, who would侵入 our hearts and defend us, which we cherish with all the fondness of our hearts and defend with the blood of our lives. This lawless element would law down all of our moral standards and moral status to that of the true creation. We deploy the fact that this shabby element of the race, which is but small as compared to the great number of well-behaved Negroes, have not yielded to any of their civilising and evangelising projects within their race, and have maintained rightfulness in vain. 6th. Bt it Resolved. That we place our ones on record as being not only in favor of but truly solicitions that there may be the kindiest feeling and the best understanding between the law-abiding white and colored people of this community, the State and country. We have the kindest and most courageous bed of peace to preserve, and we are desirous to be understood as being universally committed to the support of all our sacred institutions which make for calvival manhood and beautiful womanhood, making for fellow feeling, peace and good will everywhere, among all men.

St. Louis, March 2—With the Lenten season simultaneously last week the metropolis of the Mississippi Valley promises to be the scene of many interesting events, both religious and political, during the next forty days. St. Bkv. Daniel S. Tuttle, Presiding Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church of America, following his annual custom, opened the Lenten season in St. Louis last Thursday evening at all Saint's Church, taking as the text of his discourse "Do justly love mercy and all humanity." M. F. S. Spickel, 1, opened the religious campaign at St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church last Sunday with a mission, conducted for eight days by Bkv. Fr. Kuhmann, S. J., who will preach every night, making an eloquent crusade against "Hall, Fleish and the Devil, the Three Enemies of the Human Soul." Simultaneously, with the opening of the Catholic mission, a monaster revival began at True Beformers' Hall, under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association, in which the pastors of the Proteus mission, a monastery, led a leadership of Bkv. S. W. Beasley, the eloquent evangelist from Cottleville, Kan. The Y. M. C. A. Glee Club, with a chorus of fifty trained voices, is assisting. The campaign for souls is to last for ten days. The political campaign, in which the election of the mayor is the all-absorbing issue, threatens to be one of the hottest municipal contests ever waged in St. Louis. The fight for the Republican nomination is being led by Jephtha D. Howe, Chairman of the City Committee, on one side, and Chaucy L. Filley, "the old war horse" of the party, and a lovely woman due, in which she strives to make a difference, on both sides. With the assistance of Gerritt Hammond in the mayoral race, the mayor in St. Louis, the Republicans are ambitions to make a clear sweep by reducing St. Louis from Democrat rule. One of the prettiest of the ante-Lenten functions was a musical treat arranged by Miss Edith Mason, daughter of Rev. Fr. C. M. C. Mason, rector of All Saints' Episcopal Church, assisted by sixteen of St. Louis' prettiest mala and matrons, in the presentation of the charming twoact operetta, "The Japanese Girl." The roles were made by Miss Edith Mason, Clotilde Alexander, Helm Burrell, Grace Gordon, Hay Campbell and Julia Childs, and the chorus was made up of the following Japanese beauties: Misses Eva Marshall, Daisy Moseley, Alice Simma, Mayne Hutt, and Medames Edith B. Harrison, Percy Fleming, Mayne Robinson, Emeline Alexander and Mattie Grady. Jas. Grant directed the stage, assisted by Grant Fleming and Miss Edith Alexander was pianist. The performance was very creditable and was witnessed by an audience that filled the lecture room of the church. A masquerade ball, given by the Young Ladies' Ald, for the benefit of Provident Hospital, recently, at Douglass Hall, closed the ants-Lenten festivities. It was a celebration of nature and the costumes displayed altogether eclipsed all former efforts of this kind, in originality, uniqueness and variety. The success of the affair was a worthy tribute to the efforts of the young women involved in the devotion of the people to a worthy cause. Isaiah T. Montgomery, of Mound Bayon, Miaa, spent several days in St. Louis last week in the interest of the Mound Bayon Oil and Manufacturing Company, of which he is the president. He was accompanied by his secretary, A. A. Casey, and came to confer with Prof. D. W. Gary, field agent for the oil company, who has been here for some time, pushing the interests of the new enterprise in this city. While here Mr. Montgomery was the guest of his daughter, Mrs. H. H. Measy. The selection of Hon. Charles Nagel, of St. Louis, for a cabinet position by President-elect Taft is highly pleasing to the Negro voter, who looks upon the faithful friend of the advocate of justice in all matters, and they feel that they can trust their interests in his hands absolutely. In Mr. Nagel the Negroes of St. Louis feel certain that they have a friend at court. Miss Ida A. Burrrell, who is well-known in musical circles in New York, Boston and Philadelphia, is to appear in grand concert Elaster Monday for the benefit of the G. U. G. of O F., supported by an annual fund. The concert is to be given at Union Memorial M. E. Church, one of the finest churches in the city owned by colored people. Prof. Peter H. Clark, the venerable retired educator, was much in demand on Lincoln Day, and delivered addresses at several of the public functions of the day in which he recounted many personal reminiscences of the life and character of Lincoln that were entirely new. Louis Leaf bright under Violet star in the death of Wm. W. Dorsey, son of Wm. H. Dorsey, the veteran letter-carrier, who was buried here several days ago. Young Dorsey died suddenly in Chicago on February 7. He has been a great success on the vaudeville stage as an equilibrium. Mime, Anita Patti Brown, who was recently honored by Mayor Busse by being named a memorial to the Lincoln centennial celebration in Chicago gave a recital at Beres. Presbyterian Church to a large and appreciative audience. Grand Chancellor Aaron W. Lloyd, of nearby New York, is nominating to serve the president.
