Leading Negro Newspaper VOL. XXII. No. 25. Discusses Taft's Southern Policy Regarding Appointments Believe Plan a Constructive One That Will Mean Era of Good Feeling Between the Races BROADEN OPPORTUNITY Along Industrial Lines Which Will Not Mean Political Elimination of the Negro—Waiting for Developments President Taft's utterances in his inaugural address on the policy he intends to pursue with reference to the appointment of Negroes to Federal positions in the South is evidently being given mature consideration by the Negro press in that section of the country. Although the inaugural address was delivered three weeks ago, the majority of Negro newspapers have refrained from taking up the subject at length, evidently waiting to see what the President's attitude will be when several Negro appointments are brought up, thereby necessitating executive action. Up to date not one Southern Negro newspaper has taken a radical stand on the policy President Taft stated he would adopt. While some do not appear to be any too cheerful, their analysis of the situation is conservative as well as optimistic. The majority of the Negro editors up to date express opinions that the President's plan is constructive and is bound to relieve the feeling of domination, which will cultivate a more friendly feeling between the two races, thereby broadening the Southern Negro's opportunity in business and which will not mean the political elimination of the Negro either. Following are the views of several Southern papers on the subject: (Huntsville, Ala., Journal.) "President Taft's inaugural address strikes us as a very able, clear and forcible exposition of his views and the Republican policies. If we have not misinterpreted what we have read, the President, while assuming the mantle of his predecessor and engaging to take up the work where he left off, is manifestly disposed to be less radical in his methods and more conciliating in his utterances. Whether this will expand into healing old wounds, we know not. But the Taft tacit has been proven to be equal to most any emergency, and we may expect for him, to grow with the occasion." (Lexington, Ky. Standard.) "President Taft never did say that the 'Negroes are not to receive any appointments in the South', but he did say that 'the executive, in recognizing the Negro race by appointment, must exercise a careful discretion not there 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. Now, what does he mean by this? It simply means that if a Negro or even a white man who aspires for a local office, whose conduct does not warrant appointment he reserves the right to refuse such an appointment. But the executive goes farther; he says: 'that we must be careful not to encourage the mere pretense of race feeling manufactured in the interest of individual political ambition.' Is not this a clear cut explanation of his sincerity to ward the Negro?" (Charleston, R. C., Southern Reporter.) "That portion of Mr. Taft's inaugural address which treats of the Negro should inspire hope in all the Negroes in this country. The Southern Negro especially should now feel that he has a friend at court who will see to it that his rights as an American citizen are protected and respected." "We hail Mr. Taft as the noblest American of them all and extend to him and his great Cabinet our best wishes. To the colored people of Washington who presented him a loving Mr. Foraker said touching Mr. Taft." "He will bring peace, happiness and prosperity to the country. Take this as my parting word, give him your confidence. If you need help go to him he him know your desires. I believe he has an honest purpose. You will lend him alert to all he can for you. His inaugural address gave me a great deal of satisfaction, and I believe he is making progress in the direction." (Norfolk Vn. Lodge-Journal and (pide.) "What do Mr. Taft's views mean to you in the South and practically the West?" Simply this "You must not buy your own salvation. You must be industrious, cultivate land, education, establish business enterprise, and patronize them in short, you must get your own backbone and depend any longer upon your South white neighbor or anybody else. You should burden your burden in the race of life. "Now can't you see a difference in the views of Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt?" We can Mr. Roosevelt, though he made some mistakes, cared nothing for the feelings of any section of the country, if a man was efficient, white or black, he made the appointment But Mr. Roosevelt has passed out "Mr Taft asserts that personally he has no prejudice in his heart against the Negro. We are glad to know this, and, at the same time, he will so steer his ship with respect to the South, that its feelings will not likely grow more abnormal. The doctrine is still true, that this race of ours must make its own way to the goal "Strike out the more determined" (Richmond, Va., Planet.) "So far as the Republican policy in the South is concerned, as enunciated by the Republican leaders with reference to the Negroes, it seems that they are occupying the deserted camps of the Democratic leaders on this question. The Democratic machines decided to disfranchise the colored voters and the Republican leaders accepted this disfranchisement and based the representation to the National Republican Convention upon it. "They even went so far as to exclude colored men from the party conventions and gave back seats to colored representative men some of whom were graduates from Harvard University, Ann Arbor, Michigan, Yale College, and other representative institutions of learning. The Democratic leaders decided to bar all Negroes from holding public office in the Southland, while giving them public offices in the Northland. "Now comes President Taft, who adopts this policy himself and places his utterances in a message, better known as an inaugural address which will be read in every country on the civilized globe. He does this in the face of the fact that the Negroes, as a producing factor are adding $788, 332,522 44 per year to the wealth of the country "Further comment is unnecessary, for the facts speak for themselves." (Charlotte, N. C. Star of Zion.) (Charlotte, N. C., Star of Zion). "We have been trying to determine our own opinion of Mr Taft's inaugural address, but we are not yet able. Taken as a whole, it is a comprehensive, plain and statesmanlike paper, devoid of impassioned utterance and of attempt at hollow show. There are no menacing phrases. Whoever read this message to the nation from her new chief must admit the calm, judicial temperament and the wide range of information behind it. As it would be presumptuous for us to pass upon the quality of such a speech we shall confine our words to one part of it only "Just how we are to interpret this reference to the political status of the Negro, especially as to the holding of office in the South, is the perplexing proposition. The meaning has been misunderstood. Either the Southern white papers that see in it the elimination of the black office holder are wrong or else the Negroes who are throwing up their hats have not caught the true sound. If Mr Taft does not intend to appoint Negroes to office in communities where local sentiment opposes such an appointment, then the Negro Federal official is one of the past in the South, for it is too evident that there will be strenuous opposition now since Mr Taft's declaration but invites it. So far as the administration of the affairs of the nation is concerned, we predict that our new President will always act with fairness and deal justly." (Newport News, Va., Star) "Mr Taft has enunciated that he did not intend to appoint any Negroes to presidential positions in those places which would engender a quickening of race feelings on that account, and seizing this as a forerunner of his position upon this very important point, the white leaders of the South are hastening to Washington to press their claims for preferment. Just what Mr Taft means by this new declaration does not appear clear to many and the people will not be able to understand just what he does mean until he puts his views into action. "Some few of the Republican Presidents have tried to work out this dilemma and have failed, but it may be possible that the time was not as auspicious as it is now, nevertheless, we would call the attention of the President to the fact that few men succeed, no matter how high they stand, who are ungrateful to their friends. "Hayes, Arthur and Harrison went down in their attempts the second time simply because they had made the mistake of thinking that they could get along without the old time friends who are not Republicans for the time, but who have always stood steadfast to the party. "Strange to say, many of the white men who compose the Republican party of the South believe that in time it is purposed by Mr. Taft to eliminate the Negro from office in the South altogether but we think they will find themselves badly mistaken. Do if we understand the matter it is simply the intention to do away with the Negroes who hold high places. "However this may be it is highly necessary that the Negroes of the South take time by the forelock and prepare for the future. "Mr. Taft has also said that he proposes to do justice to all elements of his party and we should never let this escape his attention." (Atlanta, Si. . Independent ) (Atlanta Ga., Independent) "The inauguration is over and the President has uttered his pronunciation covering every phase of the national life. There was no question entering the national heart in which the entire people felt a deeper concern than the Negro problem. So his policy on this question was of double interest to both the white and the black man. "But happily Mr. Taft's councilment March 4 relative to Southern appointments was same, sound and states manlike. The President's policy correctly understood is both constructive and pacifying in character and effect Constructive in the sense that it tends (Continued on Page 6) AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION NEGRO CHAPLAINS OF UNITED STATES ARMY --- HOLD CONFERENCE IN PHILIPPINES The Chaplains of United States Army Have Unique Meeting FOUR CHAPLAINS Attend and Discuss Moral, Social and Intellectual Life of Soldiers —Oscar J.

The army chaplains on duty in the Philippine Islands and present at the great military meet held a conference to consider matters for the betterment of their work. The chaplains took advantage of the military meet to become better acquainted with each other. There were in attendance several Negro chaplains. The conference, which was informal, was held in the offices of the United States Army morgue (Chaplain A A Pruden, 2nd Infantry, who was chaplains of the meet, called the conference to order (Chaplain Henry Swift, 13th NEGRO Reading from left to right seated Infantry, was made president, and Chaplain Oscar J W Scott, 25th Infantry, was elected secretary. The moral, social and intellectual life of the soldier was the burden of the conference, and much that was helpful along that line was discussed. For the first time in the history of the army the chaplains of the four Negro regiments were fortunate enough to meet. They were the guests of Mrs William T Anderson, wife of Maj Anderson, chaplain 10th Cavalry Mrs Anderson was a royal hostess, and everyone was highly pleased with the splendid entertainment of her home.

Special to The New York Am. RICHMOND, Va, March 24—Investigation by the State authorities has brought to light that the Negroes of Virginia own real and personal property assessed at $20,000,000, and own one sixth of all the land in the State: that they own property not listed for taxation valued at $10,000,000, making a grand total of $35,000,000. The Daily News Leader, of Richmond, has the following to say editorially about the Negro tax payers. "Figures from the second auditor's report made a showing of Negro owned property in Virginia which will surprise many people. As a holder of real estate and personal property, the Negro, fifteen years ago hardly counted, now he is a considerable factor. He pays taxes on more than $25,000,000 of property. He owns property in every county of the hundred in the State but two and in every city of the nineteen. "There is curious interest in the fact that Dickenson county, Va., probably is the one county South of the Mason and Dixon line in which there is not a single Negro citizen or resident of either sex or any ages. It gives a Re- CHAPLAINS OF UNITED STATES Chaplains Anderson and Chaplains Prioleau, s publican majority of something over 200 in a total vote of 1,275. The other county in which Negroes own no property is Buchanan, where the total Negro population in 1900 was 3, where the total Negro vote is 1, and where the Republican majority is near 300 in a total vote of 1,100. "The Negroes paid for the fiscal year 1907 08 total tax to the State of Virginia of $282,579. In 1900 their total tax paid in the State was $188,193. This shows an increase in tax payments by the Negroes of nearly $100,000 in eight years, and indicates that they have gained rapidly in material wealth since the enactment of the new constitution taking them out of politics. In other words, calculating roughly but approximately correctly and using round figures, the Negroes in the eight years from 1900 to 1980 gained more than a third as much in taxable property as they had gained in the whole thirty-years years of their political activity from the close of the war to 1900. It is notable that in the city of Richmond the taxes paid by colored people in 1900 were $11,000, while in 1909 they were $22,000. This is a gain of more than 100 per cent in the eight years because the tax rate we be have is slightly lower now than it was in 1900." DR SHEPHARD RAISES 850,000 For Negro Religious Training School to Be Established in Durham. DEPTHAM S. C. March 23- Dr. James I. Shephard has been successful in securing more than $50,000 for the Negro Religious Training School to be erected here. The Merchants' Association of this city recently took action toward raising means to provide a suitable plot of ground as a gift to the institution. The whole scheme will necessitate an outlay of more than $50,000 and it already has the encouragement of leading clergymen of the white race, some of whom are enthusiastically bending their efforts toward its establishment. For many years Dr. Shephard was engaged in the International Sunday School of work which he was an honoreed and respected committee member. Suea Rollroad Because She Rode with Whites. LEASPORT, Ky. March 23 - Profes- sioning to have been humiliated by being forced to ride in the same compartment on a street car with white women Tarrie Conley, colored, has sued the Central Kentucky Fraction Company for $3,000 In Popular School Contest, Due to Race Loyalty, and Was Senf to attend the Inauguration Special to THE NEW YORK AGR St Louis, Mo., March 23—Six thousand bogus Negro names on the registration list is the frantic cry of the corrupt Democratic leaders of St Louis, who were made to feel the potency of the Negro vote here for the first time at the November election, and realize that they are facing inevitable defeat at the coming Spring election next month, with the Negro vote solidly opposed to their ticket. It is a cry of desperation, as insincere as it is false. The registration has been in the hands of a Democratic Board of Election Commissioners for years, and it is not likely that that board would permit such a condition to exist. But the true situation is revealed by the fact that while ES ARMY standing Chaplain's Scott and Gladden. these political pirates are working overtime in their efforts to illegally disfranchise Negro voters, they have employed a committee of Negroes to send out circulars broadcast over the city begging for Negro votes to aid them in electing a Democratic city ticket. The Negro voters of St Louis, however, have had some experience with the Democratic party in recent years that they will not soon forget, and they will not be easily deceived again soon. They are preparing to repeat the dose, overwhelming defeat, that they handed out to the Democrats last November by voting almost solidly for the Republican candidates. To make matters worse for the Democratic leaders, just as they had mailed thousands of circulars to Negro voters, asking for their franchise at the approaching election, Senator Oliver, of Pemiscot County, broke loose in the State Legislature, demanding the passage of a "jum crow" car bill for the segregation of the Negroes in the railroad coaches throughout the State. The backwoods senator has figuratively "thrown the fat into the fire" and stirred up a blaze that will keep the political stew boiling until the polls close on election day. A splendid instance of race loyalty was exhibited recently in the popular contest conducted by the St. Louis Pist Dispath, in which twelve pupils of the public schools were awarded a trip to Washington, D.C. to witness the Taft inauguration, with all expenses paid. Floy May Johnson, one of the brightest eight grade pupils of the L'Overture School entered the contest, and all the pupils of the colored schools, both public and parochial, united in supporting her candidacy and placed 40,000 votes to her credit in which all the schools of the city took part. When the contest was finished and the colored girl was declared a winner, a most important issue arose. The management had not foreseen the embarrassment that might arise in providing equal accommodations for the hired girl on such a trip as was proposed until they were face to face with the situation but the colored girl was brought enough to solve the problem for them by asking the privilege of selecting her own chapleton to which they readily agreed, and her teacher, Miss Arsama Williams, was chosen and they were provided with every accommodation and luxury of travel, including a Pullman compartment.

SEPARATE SCHOOLS IN ARIZONA. Bill Passed Over Governor's Veto by Legislature. PHOENIX, Ariz, March 23 - The act for segregation of white and black pupils in public schools has been passed over the governor's veto by eighteen to three in the house and a two-thirds vote in the council. The law was the source of much agitation among colored folks. The governor's objections were that the law would lessen opportunity for education and might result in poorer accommodations and facilities for colored pupils, as the bill does not compel directly employment of extra teachers for school houses and also that the law violated civil rights and legislation enacted by Congress Religious Liberals to Meet. BOSTON, March 23—A congress of religious liberals whose central purpose in "the extension of the sentiments of tolerance and good will among all the churches and races of the republic, and the creation of a fellowship beyond the lines of sect and creed," will be held at Philadelphia, April 27 to 30.

COLUMBUS, O., March 22—Steps are being taken by the pastors of all the churches of this city to organize a Young Men's Christian Association for the colored men of Columbus. It is expected that property for this will be purchased in the near future. A committee of the pastors met a few days ago with Secretary Owens at the Y M C A and discussed plans for effecting the permanent organization for the colored Y M C A. A temporary organization of about 50 young men has already been formed and meetings are being held each week at the various churches GEORGIA FIGHTS CONSUMPTION Tuberculosis Exhibit at State College Draws Many—State League Formed. SAVANNAH, March 22.—Nine years ago the Georgia State Industrial College placed on its Farmer's Conference program a physician for the discussion of tuberculosis. It had been observed that a number of students of this college and other colleges throughout the State had developed this disease at the close of their school life. This fact alarmed President R R Wright to such an extent that he had it discussed and since that time it has been placed regularly on the Conference programs. Pres Wright also secured the charter of the Indian Bureau, which gives statistical information concerning the spread of tuberculosis among the Indians. The tuberculosis exhibit has aroused a tremendous interest among both colored and white people in Savannah. Between 2,000 and 3,000 people attended the conference which has united the physicians, teachers and proachers as nothing else has done. A State Colored Anti Tuberculosis League has been formed, which has for its object the wiping out of consumption among colored people. The league has the support of the government, which has given the assurance that every effort put forth for the betterment of the colored people would receive every assistance possible.

I., March 22—Last week the Negro voters of Freeport, L. I., a small town about an hour's ride from New York City, demonstrated in a defensive manner that they held the balance of power in that section of Long Island, and by their vote elected a mayor. It is rumored that at the next election they will insist that a Negro be put on the ticket that receives their support, and threaten to form a separate party if their demands are not met. The leaders of the People's Party are Smith Cox and Bob Anderson, supervisor and postmaster respectively, of Freeport. They have been noticing the steady growth of the Negro vote for several years, and secretly agreed make a strong bid for it. The leaders of the Citizens' Party paid no attention to the increase in the Negro male population, thus their loss of the election and the retention in office of Dan Morris, who sells mantels, as mayor. Had the managers of the Citizens' Party recalled that Freeport's Negro population had increased in a decade from about ten to five hundred, the result might have been different. Smith Lax and Bob Johnson, who only politicians to give less statistics serious consideration, and when the election was held the People's Party showed deference to every Negro voter, who was carried to Town Hall in an automobile. When the ballots were counted it was found that Dan Morrison had won over the Citizens' candidate by 183 votes. The defeat of the Citizens' Party may be said to date back actually about ten years. At that time some of Brooklyn's and New York's population decided to commute, and they settled in this town. Some of them brought Negroes as servants and employed others as gardeners and stable hands. In this way a Negro colony was established here. their section being known as Little Rhodesia, named after Sandy Rhodes, who owned the property. Several months ago the Citizens' Party, composed mostly of the commuters who had brought the Negroes here, decided that the administration in power wasn't businesslike enough. The commuters instituted a movement for good roads, a campaign for more equal assessment of property, and said the water and light rates were too high. The commuters looked around among themselves and picked out as their candidate R A Mansfield Hobbs, who is a lawyer, at 78 William street, New York city. Then it was that Smith Cox and Bob Anderson worked their mean trick on the Citizens' Party Cox is the Republican leader and the postmaster is his right-hand adviser. The polls opened at 1 o'clock and closed at 8 o'clock in the evening. The commuters commuted as usual, meaning to vote when they should return in the evening. Just before voting time a line of automobiles, about fifteen of them, cameicky split to Town Hall. Each had a number of Negroes in it, and as soon as they had voted they were carried off in the machines and more black votes were brought. This went on during the early hours of the afternoon and when the commuters began to get in from New York about the whole male adult Negro population had voted. The commuter thought their victory would be about the easiest one a party in Freeport ever won. It was some time after midnight this morning when the result was made known. Not only did Dan Morrison win out Lawyer Holbs but Charley Summond got arality of nineteen over Charles Conn is the Citizens' candidate in the race for head trustee of the village. Charley Summond is down South automobiling just now and doesn't know trustee but they'll tell him about it when he gets back to Freeport.

They found those four exceptionally good riggers and all around workmen who have worked every day since the job began. Charlie Holt has made a reputation for himself with the contractors by reason of his intelligence and strength. Others who are praised by them are Henry Barnes, Peter Haley and Joe Wilson. The work of these men was different from that of the others, more so in that men being employed merely in handling materials, and getting it ready for the masons. W. H. Gaakins is foreman on the job. Gen. Henry Forrest, well known for his generosity in various public affairs, recently presented a fine portrait of him, sent to the Home for Friendless Girls of the District of Columbia. The presentation speech was made by Miss Nellie Washington for General Forrest, the former being one of the Washington school teachers who has taken considerable interest in the children of the home on behalf of the home, Mrs. John H Payster accepted the portrait, expressing the gratitude of the girls for the gift and the thought prompting it. Mr. Forrest, at the same time, had provided for each girl a handsome box containing a handkerchief and candy. The matron of the home gave a similar box of a more elaborate order. After the ceremonies the girls were feasted by the orders of Mr. Forrest on ice cream and cake. The Monacans hold a meeting Saturday night in preparation for their Easter Assembly.

A splendid beginning has been made by Maryland Negroes in the fight against the Negro disfranchising amendment which is to be voted on next Fall. Large meetings are being held to arouse public sentiment, the masses are waking to the call, money is being raised by popular subscription and, above all, honest and capable Negroes are leading in the tight According to the Baltimore Advocate, Representatives of the league are also working in all the counties of Georgia to groom the men who are deeply interested and are working hard to keep Maryland from being stained and burdened with law with one of the most prominent and best informed white Republicans in which to fight against feeding the amendment he said the white Republicans and a large number of white Republicans and a large number of white Republicans to vote against it. He also said with all the emphasis his vote could express it in the State to defeat the amendment. We believe that if the Negroes will continue this movement in harmony they will win. The issue is not only political but moral and racial. The Negro pulpul is commendably throwing itself into the movement. The issue is to be a live one at every Negro fireside and with the moral support of Maryland's local women, success should come. But let no Negro fail to reckon with the size and ammunition of the opposing forces. The well known albed forces of Democracy will furnish abundant smews of war. The disfranchising South stakes its future abroad northward upon the outcome in Maryland. As the battle royal approaches, we counsel peace but organization and an unbroken phalanx. We believe the Negro of Maryland recognizes the vital political issue involved for all the Negroes of America It is therefore we say Maryland stem the tide. ADVICE TO OLR BRETHREN. In the time of peace preparation should begin for war Now is the time for the leading members of our race in the South to perfect their organizations that will secure their representation in all the political conventions in the Southern States, especially county and State organizations It is not safe to wait until just a few days before some great political event is to take place before strengthening organizations. We call upon our leaders especially in the States of North Carolina, Virginia, Texas and Tennessee to see to it that the race is properly represented in every township, county and State Republican convention which is held. If we neglect to do our duty now and are put out of business in the future, we can find fault with no one but ourselves. The Negro voters in the North are willing to stand back of their brethren in the South, but, at the same time, their brethren in the South must manifest a disposition to help themselves. In the States of South Carolina Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and Arkansas the Negro has absolutely refused to be eliminated by the Lily White Republicans or any other element. In this they have set a good example for the other States We repeat that every time a primary election or a convention of any kind takes place, the Negro should have his delegates present and insist upon recognition and representation. We are surprised, and we have expressed this surprise before, that strong colored people, and there are many of them in States like Virginia and North Carolina Tennessee and Texas should permit themselves to be shown aside so easily by an element of white people who are masquerading as Republicans but in reality are Democrats. The Negro in the North is conscious of the fact that in a large degree he holds the balance of power between the two political parties in the North and he will use this power to help his Southern brethren but once more we say, the Southern brother must help himself. The Negro voter in the North certainly has it in his power to change the complexion of the lower house of Congress within the next four years if the Negro voter is not properly treated in all parts of the country Congressman Overstreet, of Indiana, would certainly be in Congress to-day if the Negroes in his district in Indiana had not in a large measure opposed his election --- COMMISSIONER EMMETT J. SCOTT The appointment of Mr. Emmet J Scott, private secretary to Dr. Booker T Washington, to the place on the Liberian Commission left vacant by the resignation of his chief, is as happy as it is deserved. It is not only a timely recognition of the ability and efficiency of that sturdy young Negro, it is as well a genuine compliment to that younger and coming generation of Negroes Long under the tutelage of the Sage of Tuskegee, he has developed an ability as a constructive worker and diplomat, second, perhaps, only among Negroes, to that of his chief Suave and yet firm, modest yet energetic, broad-minded, used to great responsibility and supremely devoted to his race's aphift, Mr Scott was an admirable choice for the Commission. Because of the necessary nature of his work, it has not been genuinely seen nor thoroughly appreciated. It has perhaps been given only to those who have viewed his quiet ability and unassumed fidelity, as at Tuskegee or in the National Business League, to thoroughly recognize his services. Mr Carnegie has called Mr Scott one of the great private secretaries of the world, while Mr Washington at Baltimore last summer eloquently ascribed the success of that remarkable Business League gathering to his self-sacrining and persistent secretary. America and the Negro will have a worthy representation in its Negro Commissioner to the troubled African republic. We congratulate Mr. Scott EDITOR, PARTICIPANT CRIMINAL. We are in receipt of a protest from a worthy colored citizen of Niagara, New York against the publication in that city's daily paper of a silly Southwestern protest against the coming of the 25th Infantry. The Southerner's complaint is the typical wife, daughter, sister purity attack and is well calculated to motivate Niagara's riddle to strife and fraternity. Serious trouble will not likely ensue and before the soldiers are in camp many mosses Niagara's good citizens and press like those of Sackets. Harbor will declare how grossly they have been deceased and the black soldiers slammed. We want to speak plainly. I wonder, to the editor who answered the protest of the colored citizen that he must publish the foolish and mischievous slurs of the Negro hater because they were signed. Now Mr. Editor we want to say to you that you know that you are not in duty bound to do any such thing. Neither the ethics of journalism nor the ends of free speech require or permit the publication of offense and anatomy statements. Your answer to your old law written when you know in favor of the Southern soldier of fraternity is to other sensible nor patriotic. What reassessment what crime against your country might you not share in hiding behind the defense that the arch criminal signed his article. We can not assume that you are ignorant of your culpable position. Are you cowardly sympathetic with South African injustice to the Negro or are you criminally indifferent to the peace of your country and fair play for all? You are partneces crimins to this hasst of standers against the struggling black race. The harm you do the Negro by circulating such mean attacks, you can never repair. Whether or not you believe in justice to the Negro in future we hope that you will have a care for the responsibility of your position and not assist in the fomenting of strife. --- THE COOPERS' CONVICTION THE COOPER'S CONSTITUTION The second most important conviction in the Southland for a very long time was that in Tennesse see of the Cooper's father and son, for the murder of ex Senator Carmack The conviction and death sentence of the eight night riders in Tennessee struck terror into the hearts of the cowardly outlaws and ever since their raids have been conspicuous by their absence With its elder and more vicious parent, the Ku Kluk clan, the night riders have apparently passed into history as one of the South's most disastrous night mares. Neither political influence nor the unwritten law, neither wealth nor social standing availed to save the Cooper's A jury of illiterate Southerners, in a Southern state connects the leaders of their class of murder. This is undeemed remarkable. The influence of this splendid precedent will echo loudly inverses. Southern hamlet. The enforcement of the law throughout the South will be fourth he easier Crime against the Negro licensed by the unwritten law of white supremacy has been the father of these very crimes against the whites. When once the supremacy of written law over the whites is enforced and respected the protection of the Negro by the same law must follow. The conviction of the Cooper's heralds the dawn, we believe, of the happier day of greater peace and security for the South and the Negro --- THE MATTER WITH KANSAS. The length of the recent resolutions of the Negro Progressive League of Kansas forbids our publishing them. Signed by sensible and solid citizens of Topeka, these are bitter lamentations over the increase of race prejudice in their midst and over their lack of industrial and civil opportunity. The race feeling situation in Kansas and more especially in its capital, is vastly changed from that of a few years ago. The influx of poor Southern whites, the increase in the number of Negroes, the agitation over the annual production of "The Clansman," have been the chief contributing elements to a situation at present somewhat strained. It is, therefore, not surprising that these old and estimable Negro citizens should suffer with anguish at the increasing evidences of prejudice Sympathizing keenly with them, we should like to suggest these remedies to the representative Negroes of Kansas. First, do not lose your hope and courage, but cheerfully and practically set yourselves to the tasks before you. Remember that words without works are of no avail. Secondly, rid yourselves of two of your own elements at present dragging you down. You have many graffiti among you, a few of whom are in conspicuous positions, representing the race and molding public sentiment. Their wild and ill-considered mouthings against the white race for the past decade are bearing the fruits of this reaction. You also have altogether too many loafing lazy Negroes among you, making eyesores of your communities. Thirdly, we advise you to allly yourselves with your good and able white fellow citizens. The white press and the great mass of white citizens are fair and friendly to you. While there are many powerful kassans like Res Chas M. Sheldon whose services you can collect and which would be available in the righting of your groups. Lastly, you need more business enterprises among you. The most effective answer you can make to Negro inferrors" is a concrete evidence of Negro abilities. Negro banks, Negro stores and industries will not only give much needed employment to your trained youth but they will gain for you a whole some public regard. There may be some other things which your special case requires, but these measures will give you a good lift. It is your first duty. THE EVENING POST At the present time when so few daily papers stand up straight and speak out courageously and justly on the Negro question it is a matter of the greatest satisfaction to know that in all these matters the Evening Post published here in New York, can be counted upon. This paper should have the unstinted support of our race throughout the country. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS There is needless apprehension to the American people for the safety return of Col Roewevelt from Darkest Africa Booker I. Washington has gone into the heart of Darkest America, Mississippi and South Carolina, and boarded the lions in their own dens. Bucky Thomas a Negro of Late Crooks Pike Kentucky was recently robbed by a white man of his male and wagon. Do you notice that people never say now that the Negro and the male are unperable. John I. Madden the noted turfman has announced to the Negroes of Lexington, Kentucky the conditional gift of half the cost of a colred county high school. There is an implied compliment to the rapid progress of Lexington Negroes, for Mr Madden a conservative investor, has not been known to pick a loser. Now, while we are just as proud as we can be over the young Louisiana Negro Marathon winner, and Howard Hall, Marathon champion of Pennsylvania Ohio and West Virginia, we should like to warn them that the doctors agree Marathoning will terminate fatally. They would probably reply Ambition has no end The North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association recently gobbling up the smaller insurance companies of the State, has begun the erosion of a State headquarters building on a very desirable site in the business section of Columbia. The Columbia Negroes are not only seizing time but sites by the forelock, as they recognize that opportunity is hald behind The People's Bank of Philadelphia, ex Congressman George H. White, pres- ident R. M. Dugill, secretary had a splendid reception on the occasion of the housewarming of its newly pur- ished building. Now let's let bengues be his gamen but from the vigor which Mr. White went out on that Brownville flurry we never thought he would come back on the crest of the Taft prosperity wave. Now we don't subscribe at all to all this tribute the Negro papers are paving Congressman Hobson's "man- niness" and "good intentions" to the Negro because he voted, with a spectac- ular and nervous explanation, to restore the Negroes to the army Don't you now that was his only chance to get a boost into the limelight simultaneously with the getting in a final dig at his dear old friend, the ex-President? No heroism in that explanation: Cowards die many times before their death; The brave, they taste of death but once Messrs Crenshaw and Bailey, large Negro cotton brokers of Crenshaw, Miss, do $125,000 worth of business annually, and it is reported that there are other merchants and business men in the place. One would assume that Mr Crenshaw was the whole show in his town, but we get the cautious correspondent's implication, that the "other merchants" are in the "also rat" class Here comes the nice little news paper story to the effect that the Negroes of Freeport, L. I., succeeded in electing their friend as mayor after being wined and dined all night by the organization, and that they have thus greatly offended their political opponents. The Negro has always been blamed for supporting his friends, but when we recall the name of the place, hasn't he got that right. We do not agree with our Washington contemporaries who sees no light for the Negro in the conviction of the Coopers, and points out the fact that the 100 bachings last year was the largest number for a decade. This record to us is the exception, proving the gradual decrease of outlaws, but we do agree with our contemporary as he walks. Hope springs eternal from the human breast. Missy Fankler and Demount have started the Home Theatre in Baltimore, on Pennsylvania avenue near Gold street with a regular orchestra that illustrated songs and dady picture changes. While the Negroes of New York, in the proposed theatre, will hardly be so fortunate in street location they would move into a mint of money if they went to Harlem but let us suggest that they or some other name, he given the theatre. New South and Her Wine Hen Liberty for Liberia A friend in the South writes that, if the Chinese could be kept out of the country and the Negroes sent out of it, we should be much better off. But where the experiment of colonization in Liberia and now are beginning to recognize our responsibility for the protection of a feeble commonwealth established on the western shore of Africa with a Hinterland apocronosis turn their attention to the wealth concealed in the soil of the country and unless we stand from in defence of this colonying experiment there will be no hope of a future concession by European powers. We want no colony in Africa but we ought to demand and secure liberty and independence with many ample resources of exploration for the people of Liberia which already expected would only increase the difficulty.

The recent furious outbreak against the Greeks in Omnibus shows that there are other people in the United States besides the Negroes that are considered un desirable citizens. The Italians, the Greeks the Japs and others have felt the mailed hand of American prejudice, and they have quashed with fear and trembling. The white people of this country, when thoroughly aroused and incognazed against any one of the people, do not see the line of descent but, like Bosco, they cat them 'um all up alive—The Memphis Sentinal. Superintendent W O Ruddle, of the Bosco school, told me that report this week says that there are more colored children in the Texas Reserves public schools than ever before. There are 306 now enrolled and 233 children of foreign birth in these 400 colored children. There are 14 in the East High. We are glad that the parents are awakening up to their duty.

Since the induction of Mayor Grinstead into the chief executive's chair, the affairs of the city government have taken new life, chaos and mist have given away much of the city's character of public affairs. The colored people feel justly pleased with Mayor Grinstead's administration it is the first administration that has ever recognized them in public. There are now, under this Republican administration at least a hundred colored persons employed in the different departments of the city government and draw a monthly salary of $4,500 or $5,000 per annum. The Louisville Columban Few men handle themselves in a debate better than George F. Cotterill and he will always assume the position of an important personage in every assemblage with which he is associated. He is really an eloquent speaker, he is really a man who makes friends by his really a man who makes friends by his score, and finally he is really a man that is absolutely loyal to a friend or a cause and those qualities combined make him an able leader of men. He was truly a Senate leader and the representative men who went to Olympia to get things done. He was also willing to help to the skies. It is to be regarded that he is a Democrat in politics. The Seattle Publican To look outside of character untelling once and industry for a solution of the problems that face us is short sighted and dead. There is no other panorama, and we have no reason to believe that years the Negro has been foraging among the dark skirting light of the political pack a lantern for remedies against the evil in front of him without avail and common in his life to watch him that while there is a situation to which he can do for all the people, there is a special work that all of the people can, and must do for themselves. Every tub and cane must be its own bottom, the Negro must insist on its own bottom, the Negro must insist on its own bottom. Our emancipation from existing conditions cannot come from political sources but from other quarters. But this does not mean that we are to live in an institutional area. The Lex in Standard. That a long delayed interest in education has at last been awakened on the part of Hampton people was demonstrained when quite a number of its citizens attended the Thursday evening and organized the People's Educational League of Hampton. The purpose of this league is to foster interest in education here to scour the schools and for the extension of the schools and for the extension of the school terms etc. This interest in a large museum has been brought about by the principal of the Lambsin School Miss W. Robertson, who has signed into this work the school's mothers' meetings educational meetings and in other ways of appealing to the people to take up the work for better means of educating their children and good work go on. The Fisher state N. As a rule, parents are not as particular in training their girls for some delicate work or the other as are desirable in fact at all; only the very young are taught that their proper place was at home and in domestic affairs. This person has been modified somewhat, yet the proper training of girls is still very back in the day, and they had very little to spend on them after they have attended to the training of their boys. Until quite recently there were a girl had very little choice he had to make in her dressing clerk. There are now, however many openings as clerks, so retires compulsory types, stenographers, schoolmasters, telegraph clerks etc. Still there are few who are so well prepared as to be a good salary.

There is one great "need" which our people seem to have either overlooked through a limited knowledge of its effect or they have deliberately ignored it. That "need" is more colored regimentary than any of which we have only four to present. There is not room here to present the many reasons why we should try to induce Congress to give us at least four more regiments, but suffice it to say that that many brave doools, the honorable record of the Army, the Army of England to McKinley, together with the fact that we are 12,000,000 strong, should plead our cause toward that end. I am sure if this matter could be handled with the laziness of the capital there is very much doubt that it could receive favorable consideration. It not only makes men of many, who to day walk the streets and are of no earthly use to the country, but awakens us to the fact that we, too, must assist in maintaining and preserving our great republic. First, do I write to you about it? First, because your paper is the leading Negro paper of the States. Second because you must be in touch with the leaders of our race and can call their attention to this long existing need, and they I am sure, will in turn use their efforts to bring it or have it brought forth. Third because I believe that should the same come up and fail, that your paper will not drop the subject, but will continue to agitate it until Congress is awakened 16 of the fact that in case of war they should need more than four regiments. They are also many good opportunities for young men of education in the most organizations and institutions. But the fact that all young men of that class deserved to be trained or doctors accounts no doubt for them not from the fact that they were not from Hosting dear colleague, you will take this matter up for the benefit of our race which is weakening, a brave struggle for recognition and a great endeavor.

To the Editor: Turn New York Age Referring to your editorial, "Negro Crime in the Capital" in issue the 11th inst., citing figures from chief of police of this city, permit me say the figures given are misleading, figures generally are. First, many, perhaps twenty per cent or the persons convicted are old offenders, many as twenty or thirty have been arrested, many as two or four or five times. They usually come to a class that the church, Sunday school or Christian Associations cannot and do not again. It all depends on who enforces the laws, who is enforced with respect to races and class, who one must know this before he can form a just estimate of the relative proportion of crime among races. I cite two cases of recent origin here in Washington. A white man, a collector for a loan agency, went to a colored man's house to examine and appraise his household items. He took his nice-looking nudita girl to tender years. He approached her with an indecent pose. He assaulted her, not criminally, but with physical force. He probably worked for the arrest of the man until an older sister arrived, when the unclearest desisted and toiled his heels. The Assistant United States District Attorney refused to issue a warrant for the arrest of the man until the United States District Attorney and the only issued a warrant for simple assault. A colored boy or man is alleged to have assaulted a white girl in the south section of the city recently. The country has a diligent and determined men a number of have been arrested and thrown into jail without bail and refused permission to see any one. If the guilty party is the man, the惩罚 to be a Negro will he get the full execution law. The penitentiary. The cases need no comment, they speak for themselves. During the summer of 1007 a large number of simple assault cases occurred such as suit-ting pocketbooks, haudags of which were charged up in colored men's suits and extended over a period of three or four months. At last the guilty man was caught. He confessed to a large number of offenses of all which bore the distinctive marks of a criminal and skillful criminal. He proved himself to be hacked up but I have not heard that any of the crimes were transferred from the black to the white side of the ledger. Assaults with a dangerous weapon are severely punished by his jurisdiction. Negroes usually get from the police to the pennentary. I have never known a Negro to go out free. A United States Senator cut out a street car conductor and proceeded, though the railway never prosecuted, though the railway offered efforts to have him prosecuted without avail. A congressman recently shot a Negro in the head in the streets and at the time dangerously wounded a passenger. He has been indicted but the charges are he will never be punished. If one colored person complains against another here and a warrant issues there is never a chance for an amateur defendant, for if they undertake a punishment, the police will arrest and block the game. The police are appointed on their record for convictions secured and prefer to make that record the expense of the friendless and unaffordable school. If she or girl go to jail the workhouse, relocation or other penal institution, his or her down is called for the police lay in wait for them at every head of the road. If she or girl is charged with any crime and tell the court that she has a record That's Six months or $100. So Mr. Editor, figures are deceptive. That don't be but I live in sometimes figure March 22, 1990 Washington C A BREACH OF COURTESY The truth is, much unnecessary for has been made over this Crum appointment. The collector of the port of does not come into contact with white some and business men, custom house brokers and clerks. We take our mail every day from the hands of colored mail carriers and in our places of business and our homes in contact constantly with Negro and understand why there should have been such a row over the appointment of the perfectly respectable, well-behaved and polite Negro as collector of the port. For our part, we had rather deal any with a Negro official than with a white man. We had the bulk of the Republican party in the South until some twelve or fifteen years ago. And Crum was not the first color man who has been collector at Charleston. If we remember correctly a multinational institution occupied the first election of Cleveland in 1851. Results of the thing for the Negro in the South is to keep himself off politics. The more he mind is directed with politics, the more he is engaged with white politicians and from settling Government plan toward earning living by regular work and building his self-permanently in his community the better for him. About it is popular and well-known. New York and parties under the Government would give the Southern white people more ease of offense and would unnecessarily develop freedom resentment and a sense of injustice. It seems to me that the Negro—or to the Negger—of anybody prefers the words he has the most of it and measures up militarily against many of the white statesmen and others who credited with so savagely—Richman News Leader Said to be Incompetent in Washington Public Schools SOCIAL POSITION Plays an Important Part in the Matter of Appointments—They Should be Brought From Other Cities special to the New York Adm. WASHINGTON, D. C, March 23.—I tried to make it plain in the beginning that the articles published about the Washington public schools were not inspired by any malice or favoritism, and that at no time would the contents descend beneath the prescribed policy of a devout, clean, family newspaper. I have tried to make it plain that the interests of the children—the thousands of bright Negro boys and girls who attend the Washington colored schools, are paramount to the interests of any and all teachers. There is not a teacher whom I know intimately—in fact I have had no social contact with any of them. When I say that the Negro schools of Washington are lumbered up with a lot of incompetent teachers, many of whom could not pass an examination if their life depended upon it. I say it because it is a fact potent to all Washington. When I say that the school authorities ought, and speedily too, adopt a drastic policy eliminating the incompetents, I hold no brief against these incompetences because of themselves but I say it because the future of hundreds of Negro boys and girls is placed in properly so long as such incompetences are retained. I be a pleasant thing to admire some of the men and women on the teachers' staff and would sympathize with those who had to go on. On the other hand it is far from present to compel hundreds of boys and girls each school day in the year to suppose that they were drinking from the fontain of knowledge when in reality they are only drinking from a stagnant pool. When I say that no man should be permitted to teach young boys and girls whose appetite for the cup that mebrates it, I pity the man because of his weakness, but I pity his pupils the more When I say that no woman whose chasm is not as pure as the arrogance should be permitted to teach, I have in mind the future of the dear girls who are under her are several hours each day. I do not, however, charge that the Negro schools of Washington have teachers who come under this ban. If there are such it ought to be an easy matter for the principals, the supervisors and the superintendent to locate them. And especially should this be an easy task in Washington where everybody feasts on gossip, and everybody's humour is common property in city where they delight to pledge on the walls of buildings and woman's peddle. If Christ should arrive in Washington inocent at 7 a.m. any morning. He would be talked about before he struck Pennsylvania avenue. And Mary, His mother, would be given the "third degree" in the gossip circle, before she changed her apparel. This is why it ought to be easy to detect immorality, if perchance any existed. I believe, however, that the moms of the teachers in the Negro schools of Washington, particularly among women at present, is on a car with the best in any other city, beating the incompetent teachers, that is so easy it becomes a joke to imagine that it is a task. Discussing the Negro schools with one of the most conservative, upright and substantial Washingtonians, he said, "There are about one-tenth of the teachers in our schools who are really unfit to teach a district school in a frontier town and this has been true for years. Really there has been serious discussion, among parents, of the advisability of establishing private schools, rather than have their children compelled, as they are now, to be taught by competent teachers whose incompetence is known to authorities, parents and pupils. It is a travesty on justice, to have to pay for the support of schools that are conducted for the benefit of some few "has been teachers" whom he sized up the Negro members of the school board. He rejected for a moment, and then said, "Well, we have three members, but in reality only one. One is incapacitated by age and ill health. At one time, when in his prime, he was a tower of strength Another is a lawyer who is too busy chasing a political office, or rather the shadow to be of value. He taught Professor Hanchette him up on his own. He means well at that, but was not just cut out for an A1 member of a school board "And then we have one woman member." She is bright, yes brilliant, one of the most brilliant Negro women in this country, but do you know that it is next to impossible for a woman to rise above certain social demands and the resultant environments, try as hard as she may. And yet of the three, when it comes to a real knowledge of school work, and teaching requirements, this woman stands alone. The other members do not even approach her. I asked him what he considered to be the most needed thing to do, in connection with the Negro schools. "Why," he continued, "fire about one-teach of the teachers at once, and reduce a few others." "But where could you get teachers competent to take their places?" I asked. "The country is full of them. Washing-irons alone from among its bright youth and women could supply the demand." "But lack of training," I added, to me in writing but Washington young women as teachers." "This ought to be" he said, measuring the world "some good red blood from the earth" he would inject. There is an error in denn presumbling here, and I advised him in it at one time, that only a Washington should be eligible to attend our schools. I believe if a few teachers were imported some of the bright conditions here from the East, Rockford and West better results would be obtained and better conditions prevail." I think the assistant superintendent comes up to requirements" was the next question I propounded. I know him, he said, "when he was a mere 10 years I have followed his career. have watched closely his course since assuming the lead of our schools. He not only measures up, but I believe it is the general verdict that he towers high as an educator and as an executive head. Were conditions such as to permit him to abandon diplomacy, and cut straight, without fear of treading on some one's toes, there would be no occasion for an investigation such as you are making. I give this interview because it is but a repetition of scores of interviews I had with parents with prominent men and women, many of whom could proudly subscribe themselves as an "Old Cit." In my next letter I want to take up and specify certain school buildings, their principals and teachers, and thus get down to the very heart of this matter. Generalizing is all very well, but specifying brings the reader right in touch with the subject H R M. AFTER SCOTLAND'S SLALP: Election of Colored County Chairmen in Jersey the Center of Lively Fight. NEWARK. March 22 Local Negro politicians in the county of Essex are busy with their political axes, which they have ground to suit their real or imagined grievances. A pretty light is turning around the election of a county chairman to represent the colored voters of the county to be held on March 30. As Justice Scotland's re-election has been the logical conclusion, because of his efficient and faithful services of his organization, andidity to his race's interests, since his charisma and appointment to the office of Document Clerk of the county, the few who are after his toga are training up reasons why Mr Scotland should not be again elected as a leader, having, as they say, his hands being placed in job where demands on the party leaders cannot be made forcibly by him. Strange as it seems, these would be leaders do not know, or have forgotten that since June, 1908, civil service laws have placed positions out of the realm of political parties. It is argued by Mr Scotland's supporters that since he has made good as chairman of the association, Document clerk and as Justice of the Peace, which he still holds, and therefore, one year's term as county leader is not long enough to prove his worth as a leader. The Executive Committee of the Association held a conference on last Friday evening, and heartily endorsed their chief for another term. The Chairman also only ambition was to perfect the organization, which he has striven to establish for the good of the race as he believed that only through a unity of strength and purpose can the race anywhere are their social, political or industrial status. The Economy Realty Association of Newark is dealing in real estate around and about Newark. Every opportunity is open to the people of our race here for the buying homes, and the Negro is taking advantage of these opportunities and buying in every part of the city. The association Mr S N Haskerleider who is now chief of True Reformers of Newark Division, as president and manager of the association. The association's office is at 792 Broad street, Newark, N. J. and stands in goodness to give information to all home seekers. The True Reformers in New Jersey are doing well and all meetings are well attended.

He reports that the Past Officers Council, the Union Degree Chambers and Rosebud Board are holding their own New members are joining the fountains every week. Large Funeral in New Hous NEW HAVEN, March 21. By the death of Mr Horace Royster aged 43 years, the Church of God and Saints of Christ has again had occasion to mourn the loss of one of her most faithful members.

Prop. Oct 29-8m TWO APPRECIATIONS OF FORTUNE T. Thomas Fortune is again in your malistic traces. This time he is at Yankers N.Y. We had never thought that the applegate Fortune would hear to the news of the war in Chicago. However it is not the town that makes the man. Mr. Fortune will let his light shine in anybody's town. His new venture has publication, as Fortune magazine in appearance under his name. He will publish graphics as well as the make up. We hope him success. Indianaapolis, U.S.A. We regret to state. Reather Knox, that I. Thomas Fortune is not with us. We lauded him, used him to a big office, locked the door and fast, but he got away straight and is now looking for "bigger game." You are right. The city of Yankers and The Standard are both too small for Fortune. We regret our inability to command the talents of the greatest siren the race has yet pro A man of his capabilities is not in the newspaper business for his health as so many publishers of Negro news papers are and no doubt most of our contemporaries can and should trust Mr Fortune's cross. He has our high regard and best wishes for success wherever he lands - Monk's Standard NEGRO PRESS OF THE SOUTH to disabuse the Negro's mind of the impossible and directs his attention to the attainable and helpful. Pacifying in the sense that it relieves the Southern white man largely of the fear of Negro domination by appointment and enables him to cultivate a more friendly feeling for his colored neighbor Mr Taft's policy if vigorously adhered to, will not only broaden the colored man's opportunity in the South among his white neighbors for selflessness, he will contribute more to political and eco-identity and independence, than any declaration since Lincoln promulgated the "Immortal Declaration of Independence." Unfortunately the Independent fears that the race does not accept Mr Taft's enunciation as an omen of good luck or a policy of constructive statesmanship but rather as the political elimination of the race from the national life. This is due largely to importance of the man and failure to help fully digest his philosophy. A careful study of the President's language and the conditions holding up his utterance will constitute the most skeptical that he is not dealing with a principled insider among the white political rights of my race. He is not insider in a question of party politics with a view of opening his party with a view of our common country which is insiding. The question of the rights of the Negro race and hold off affliction involved both having been conceived and undoubtedly established both in the theory and practice of our law the only question left is how far it is set for the Republican party to undertake to exercise these rights against the express wishes of the wealth the intelligence and respectability of the Southern community immediately invoked without mutting the Negro²³.

Supermarket Music and the Stage V UNCLEAN PRODUCTIONS FOR several weeks the press has been discussing with vigor the prevalence of indecent and immoral plays in New York City Charles Burnham, president of the Theatre Managers' Association, started the discussion in a bitter denunciation of what he termed "the immoral drama." In his tirade against questionable plays he declared that there were at least five plays in New York City that should be closed, namely "The Easiest Way," at the Stuyvesant Theatre, "The Girl from Rector's," at Weber's Theatre, "The Queen of the Moulin Rouge," at the Circle Theatre, "The Blue Mouse," at the Lyric Theatre, and "Salome," at the Manhattan Opera House. According to President Burnham, the above mentioned shows have a bad effect on the morals of the young men and women, and he advocates a censorship to prevent the production of questionable dramas. In the opinion of President Burnham, the crowd is greatest where the show is lowest. Not only has the press seen fit to take up the question of unclean plays, but prominent members of the pulpit as Rabbi Wise recently made an address indicting the theatres as they are to-day as follows: "The stage ought to be an uplifting agency. It is far from it. It makes for degradation, for absolute moral rottenness. I wish to God our skirts were clean, and that there were fewer Jews to blame. The managers seem to vie with one another in producing the degrading things, and they insult us by implying that we want such stuff, and that you and I don't want to see a clean play. I insert the theatres as they are to-day. I don't care if every manager is "Jew—they are all heathens. I indict those who are pandering to vice whether Jew or Christian. It is the debasement of nation, and it will not remain so until you say, "We will not go near your theatres. We have got to increase our moral assets. There is too much penal and not enough moral law" The New York Evening Post speaks on the subject as follows: "Not only is 'Salome,' against which there were such strong protests two years ago, being produced regularly, but there are at least four plays in hitherto reputable theatres so indecent or dealing with such disgusting themes that they would not have been tolerated a few years ago. For this situation, the avarice of the managers, Christian and Jewish, is not wholly to be taxed. The laxity of the press is not without its share of the blame. How to remedy the situation is a problem to which the city's spiritual advisers may well devote themselves. We have, fortunately, progressed far from the time when every minister felt that every theatre was the pathway to destruction. Prejudice of this kind has passed with the recognition of the great educational possibilities of the stage. But, if the present range for nudity and the portrayal of lives of immorality continues, we shall soon reach a place where it will be folly to assert that we have any standards at all, or to require any of the theatre." Since unclean and indecent plays have furnished a theme for an animated discussion, there has been introduced in the New York State Legislature a bill which provides that a censorship be established to determine the right of a play to be presented to the public. It is not likely that any such measure will become a law. The writer believes that there should be but one censorship—the general public. If the patrons of the many theatres in New York will make up their minds to place the "C Q D" sign on all questionable shows and cause a general boycott, it would not be long before the managers and producers came to a proper realization that such plays were not lying to the audience, no other attempt would be made to burden the public with indecent and suggestive shows. The public has in its hands the fate of all productions. It makes a playwright, a play, an actor a manager. Many a play fails, not because it is bad from an artistic standpoint, but due to the failure of the theatresto appreciate it. Such should be the fate of all immoral dramas. When one looks over the list of shows playing in New York City you experience a feeling of relief when you note that there are many more clean shows that are successes than unclean ones. After all, questionable shows are but a small part of the theatrical life of America's leading city. From a standpoint of population, Greater New York is a very large place. There are over four millions of residents here, and the writer fixes the number of daily visitors at 40,000 persons. Therefore it is not alarming to learn that out of such a large population a few immoral plays thrive, due to the patronage of one theatrical class. It does not mean that the majority of productions are performance, production—but only a few, compared with the city's population and the large number of clean shows having successful runs. It is highly gratifying for the writer to state that in all the discussions about the questionable plays, not one thing has been said against colored productions and vaudeville acts. If you carefully analyze each colored show you will find at this time that there is not an offensive number or scene in any of them. The same can be said of our colored vaudeville acts. It is true that --- ```markdown ``` EDITED BY LESTER A. WALTON we have not been able to produce a drama, but if one was written dealing with Negro life there would not be any unwholesome in it. Musical shows are being severely scored in the present discussion. In fact, a musical show has come in for the most severe criticism. Mention is made of the musical productions to show that serious consideration is also being given that form of entertainment in connection with the legitimate drama. The writer agrees with the New York Evening Sun when it says editorially "The community is safe. Cuffization is safe. The rogue safety officer, a painter, may rage imagine a vain thing. Curiosity on the part of the public, the result of original sun, will be gratified to only a limited extent. The new beatitude Blessed are the champions of cleanliness in amusements, for they shall do the big business." DAN M. In Va.

Owing to the continued indisposition of Jeanneette Murphy, Ada Alexander, as understudy, in filling the bill with credit, the manager has complimented her for her work. Geo Day is rapidly coming to the front as a character artist and nightly in causal acting. Her disposition and attire, personality he has no trouble in becoming immediately a favorite with his audiences. At the Majestic theatre in Los Angeles, Cal., the company was granted with a large house. Each member of the show has a role in the performance, the initial performance a memorious one and the Los Angeles critics were unstinted in their praise of the show. Despite the engagement in the city of several strong attractions, our houses were filled to over flowing and very enchanting. All the boxes were always filled and galleries as well. The management of Mr. Will Cook, each and every member moved like clock work and the singing was of high order, thanks to the DAN MICHAELS BLACK PATTI NOTES musical director, Mr. Richards of Boston. Tim Owley, who is a resident of Los Angeles, and the principal comedian of this show proved on his entrance that he had a talent for comedy. He is a performer of merit and one who will make the East hear from him before long, probably next season. As straight man Billy Young was the "Beau Brummel" of old, both in dress and in voice, he was a star in the Los Angeles Times as being the most polished and oldest straight man in the business. The greatest enthusiasm was shown when Mine. Jones finished his first performance, and the bouquets of flowers, tokens of esteem from her many admirers, both white and colored. Sallie Byrd was also mentioned in a most complimentary manner. The management is on the alert for any thing or performer who will benefit the RED MOON'S BAY Cole and Johnson have enjoyed good business throughout the Dominion of Canada. The stars are in the best of health as are the members of the show. Theo Pankey is dickering for a deal in "invisible fortunes." He contemplates buying mining stock. The latest of the many intellectual and social connections connected with the Red Moon Company is the dramatic class, under the direct supervision of Mme. Elizabeth Williams. The young ladies who are so rapidly advancing in this art are MICHAELS udeville Misses Hianche Deas, Lula Coleman, Leona Marshall, Mamie Beile, Beesle Triblet and Bessie O Brown. Mme Willem is very proud of the class and says that the time is not far distant, when she will buy a new character artists in the profession. Mollie Dill, as "Maudy Gibson" the Swamptown saloonist's wife, says that woman constitutes society, she is its sovereign arbitrets, it exists for her and her exclusively "possibly this is her real life." She is also the present, thereby leaving no hoophole for the future coming over ready "touch" for spring millinery. Bessie Oliver Brown gave her husband, Frank Fowler Brown, a silver filigreed fountain pen and a gilt edge morocco-encrusted ink pad for the present, thereby leaving no hoophole for the future. Sam Corker Jr., advance representative for the Red Moon Company, wrote back Cole and Johnson, it is so cold here in Minnesota, where ice palace would make a good bonfire. Sam Lucas, in speaking of pretty women in the profession, says that were the Red Moon Company's ladies in the matrimonial market, a sailor could easily be the first one near and be happy ever after. Men may come and men may go, but the matriine girls go on over "Sambo" (Eldar Cameron) forever. The rumored that James Reese Europe is writing an article for one of our artists will it be "How to ing on the key." Lowerry sits the comet. Since he has cultivated a love of voice. Our six comedians—Jno. L. Edwards, Chas. Baehm, Henry Jefferson, Eric Mason, Logan Kitchen and allison Guthman—presented the album by the newspapers as being exceedingly clever. Carrie Gilbert, our dainty soubette, Calle Vassar and Florence, our coonsong shouters, also the Beechums, all go to make up a fine performance. The first Sigh is doing nice. The club consists of Tom May, H. L. Hawkins, Prof. Kelley, Arthur Hill, Jas. B. Hall, Billy May, Tony Barefield, Jno. L. Edwards and Chas. Beechum, P. G. Lowery, chief musician and music donor. Lowerry will have the best band and company under canvas during the season of 1909. MISS OLIVE ORMES Miss Olive Ormes, formerly a student at Dana's Musical Institute, Youngtown, O. is rapidly coming to the front in her home State as a musician of note. She is musical directress at the Princess Theatre, Cleveland O. and is filling the position with great credit. Before becoming connected with the Princess Theatre she was musical directress at MISS OLIVE ORMES Directress of a Theatre Orchestra at Cleveland, Ohio the Princess and Temple Theatres in Youngtown, ♂, and at the Edison and Dreamland Theatres in Warren, ♂ Miss Ormes is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Ormes, and was born and educated in Warren, ♂.

Manager Barker writes that in such cities as Winnipeg and Duluth there are so many designers and the act, but later make the chocolate Drops favorites of the respective bills. Vaudeville managers are already making both Willie Winkler a serious one Both of the large bookings houses are delirious of knowing when "Bandanna Land" will close, as they are making the well known comedians flattering offers that are in four figures. One of the strangest incidents occurred few years if he wanted to star in a white show. We would not like to see such an arrangement. Avery and Hart left Sturray for Montreal, Bendal, which have opened Moda in Canada. Theatre. They will be in Canada several weeks. The act did not work last week, owing to a misunderstanding the two comedians had with the management of the Orpheum Circuit. They had received contracts for nearly twenty-old weeks in the West, but they had been kept away at York at a moment's notice. Being unable to do so, the booking was cancelled. The National Theatre of Washington has been selling gallery tickets so that the first few seats in the seats. This brought a long line on the parement in front of the theatre, obstructing the entrances. To avoid such a state of affairs the commissioners of the District of Columbia have requested coupons for the gallery, and it is rumored that the colored persons will be segregated if this change is made. George W. Walker, of Williams and Walker, returned to New York last Saturday from Lawrence, Kana, where he had been on a three weeks vacation visiting his mother, Mrs. Alice Meyers.

WHITE, for many years manager of the Philadelphia Giants, will not be seen with that team this season, that is, if his plans do not miscarry. According to Dame Kumor the veteran manager will look after the welfare of a team that he will be composed of some of the most promising young ball players in the country. Arrangements are being made for a big baseball game to be played April 25, at Meyers Park. Brooklyn, for the benefit of Bud Fowler, the ex-colored ball player who has been playing for months. The game will be called at 10 o'clock in the morning, and Bert A. Williams will probably act as an umpire. Sol White and F D Ellis, a Brooklyn newspaper man, are promoting the affair. The team will play between old-colored ball players on the picked team of the best youngsters in the business. With the veterans will play George Williams, the original captain of the old Cuban Giants; Ben Holmes, one of the organizers of the old Cuban Giants; and Waltkins, Clarence Williams, Nat Clarke and Sol White. Fowler is now in Frankfurt, N. Y., and is said to be improving. Jack Johnson to Be Royally Entertained. Champion Jack Johnson will be in New York City next week and his many friends and admirers are making preparations to give him and rossing welcome. He will be in Manhattan every week, and it is more than likely that he will be compelled to make a number of speeches. Judging from the address the champion made at Madison Square Garden a few weeks prior to his arrival, he will be the emergency at all times and make a few remarks that would do honor to our most ambitious orators. Besides a dinner and reception to be tendered him by the business men Wednesday evening, Madison Square Park will be the Manhattan Lodge of Elks will entertain him at Palace Hall the evening before.

The following regiments were represented 18th infantry, 22d Cavalry and 6th Cavalry, 23d Cavalry and 6th Cavalry, 24th soldiers carried off all the honors, and the Midanao Herald speaks in high terms of the meet and the work of the members of the 25th infantry. A few soldiers carried off all the honors. Company K, 25th Infantry won the 100-dash dash in Manila in 10 flat, holding the record in the Philippine islands. Colored Boy to Head Track Team. Colored Boy to Head Track Team. When the Southern Manual Training School of Philadelphia competes in the NCAA's Philadelphia, next month the track team will be headed by Eugene W Norwood son of C. W Norwood, who is connected with the Custom service in New York City. Although the Southern Manual Training High School is one Philadelphia new high school, it is located on Broad and Jackson streets, it is known as one of the leaders in local athletic circles. In 1908, young Norwood made a record as a dashman as well as a football player. At the end of the first season, Norwood members to receive the "S" which was awarded to the twelve players who had played in at least a dozen halves through out the season.

Smart Set Defeats Alpha Team Smart Set Defensive Alpha Team One of the biggest basketball games of the season, the Alphas won a team by aAssembly Rooms last Friday evening under the auspices of the Alpha Physical Culture Club of New York. It was a contest of New York against Brooklyn, the Alpha lightweight team against St. Louis, the Alpha team against Smart Set A, C or Brooklyn. Throughout the first half in the preliminary contest neither team displayed a great amount of class, but in the second half the Alpha lightweight rallied together and succeeded in defeat St. Augustine Guild by a score of 10 to 4. Notwithstanding the inclementity of the weather long before the beginning of the principal game a large and enthusiastic following reported. The team, equipped with the Greater New York championship contest decided. An apparently groundless and uncalled for discussion delayed the start of the game for about forty five minutes. Immediately upon the game being ahead outspacing their larger and heavier opponents, the Alphas, in every section of the court, a terrific pace was kept up throughout this first twenty minutes of play, which ended 0 to 8, favor the Smart Set. It was seen that Referee Miller had an expert knowledge of the game, and very faw. souls on either ' side escaped his notice. In the second half, Alpha endeavored to use their superior strength, which Smart Set successfully combatted with their skill and cleverness, and the game ended 20 to 14, their favor. Captain Chester Moore of the Smart Set was seen on the floor for the first time in many weeks, and his playing was of excellent style. YORKVILLE THEATRE EAST 86th STREET F.

A Successful Broker Several persons with good securities and in financial embarrassment called upon Mr. J R Wood during February and March for the fire to give him the power to borrow money on their securities he could help them out of their distress. All of these people were unable to secure the desired amount from the bank, so they were colored. Mr. Wood thought seriously over the matter and of persons from whom he might get money for his clients. He presented applications which were approved within five hours after the applications were filed. He stepped into a certain home in Harlem not long ago and the lady said to him, "I believe the Lord has sent you to see me." Mr. Wood asked what it was and she stated that she wanted to borrow $14,000 on her property. When he told that he could get it for her she thought it a jest. With trembling hands she signed the application, which was filed and accepted. With in two days' time he had succeeded in securing the money. The lady could not understand how it was done so quickly but said something that he should lose a whole deal. Thus Mr. Wood lehures that the little company organised by him in October real estate and brokerage business, has proven to be a great blessing to the Ne groes in New York City. During the two past months of March and February Mr. Wood has secured loans amounting in total to over $16,000. BROOKLYN. Mrs. Chas.

Va., March 22— Through the influence of the Negro Business League at Bristol, Tenn. Va., no fewer than twenty business concerns are in operation in that town. Among the most important and flourishing are the A. L. Whitten Coal Company, doing an annual business of $3,500, the Brown-Doubt Funeral Directory, 431 Syracuse street, and the Bristol Enterprise Trading Company, 429 Bryanse street. The latter is a joint-stock symposium of ten employees incorporated and doing business in a new two-story brick building on one of the principal thoroughfares in the city. The ground and building cost about $4,000, in which there is a stock of groceries, dry goods, and notions, valued at $3,000. Mr Wm H Brown is the general manager. One of the most interesting business centres in this progressive little town is the "Woman's Enterprise Office" composed of ten women, of which Mrs F W Woodfin, wife of the principal of the Normal School, is president. It is a small property well supplied, opened about six months ago. Within this time business has been so flourishing that the promoters are now contemplating moving into larger quarters and increasing their stock of goods. Mr Hale Clay is the wide-wake, energetic and popular president of the local home and is moreover thoroughly imbued with a progressive spirit and ambition for the advancement of his people along industrial and commercial lines. Prof J. N. Ervin of Johnson City, Teen is not only an active and efficient educator being principal of the city High school but is also interested in the starting of business enterprises. It was through his uniting efforts that a local league was organized in Johnson City where there are several business firms which need only the unifying effort of a well managed organization to cause them to feel what they are capable of doing not only for themselves but for the community at large. J. H. Longy, the leading barber, is president of the league. He is the possessor of valuable real estate in the corporate limita. Prof J. W. Ovelreen, although principal of the Normal and Industrial Institute at Hartman, Teen is also interested in material matters. A year ago he took the necessary steps and organized a local Negro Business League, of which he is president. The organization under his guidance has accomplished results and is destined to do even more toward creating an interest in starting new business in that town. At Shelleyville, Teen, lives Dr. Wm. Key, the owner and trainer of the celebrated "Beautiful Jim Key," the educated horse, which achieved a national reputation on account of its ability to read, spell, make change at the cash drawer, distribute mall, etc. In nearly every State in the Union this famous horse has given exhibitions. Dr. Key is the proud possessor of a beautiful horse, which he has trained by life member of the American Humah Education Society. Its president, George T. Angell, presented this valuable medal to Dr. Key in the Mechanics' Building, Boston, Masa, Noremer I. 1,001, in recognition of the great service he had rendered humanity through the education of this wonderful horse, which has led more than 1,200,000 boys and girls to pledge themselves to always be kind to animals. Dr. Key once received $10,000 for this animal. He told us that he had realized about $50,000 from his exhibitions in different sections of the museum. The children to always be kind to animals in city real estate and in a very valuable farm of 2,000 acres, remarkable for its fertility. "Jim Key" is still living at the advanced age of twenty years, or more. He is "out of commission," having been injured in a wreck in Kansas City, Mo. about two years ago. However, he is mercifully and tenderly cared for during his misfortune in his last days, and is housed in one of the most comfortable and costly stables that we have ever seen. He remembers his old tricks, and it is truly pitiful to observe him in his daily life. The guidance of his affectionate and devoted master. Dr Key is much interested in the work of the National Business League and is also an active member of the local branch. W. H. Goslin, the president of the local league, does a large grocery business in a brick block, which he owns and valued at probably $12,000. In Columbia, Tenn. Mr. A C Simons is the proprietor of a very respectable looking cafe in a two-story brick establishment on one of the main streets. The owner is the Rev Dr J. W. Johnson, president of Roger Williams' College at Nahville, Tenn. The structure is easily worth $10,000.

Says He Is No Longer Connected With Yonkers Paper. To the Editor of THE NEW York Ace Several weeks ago I notified Paul H Bray, who has now assumed editorial charge, as well as the business manage- ment of the Yonkers Standard, a weekly newspaper published at Yonkers. N.Y. that the partnership entered into between us was dissolved, and that I desired to have no further business relations with him I wish now, through the courtesy of THE AOK, to state that I have no connection with that publication. At the proper time, if it becomes necessary, I may have more to say as to the reasons for my withdrawal from the firm of Bruce Hray, publisher of the Yonkers Standard, but not now.

REPRESENTATIVE OLCOTT Speaks in Favor of School Buildings for Negro Children in District of Columbia. WASHINGTON, D. C. March 20.—Representative of Van Vechten Olcott of New York City, recently made a speech in connection with the building of schools for Negro children in the District of Columbia, which was as follows. The third of these items (c) is not a new appropriation, but a provision whereby an appropriation made eight years ago may now be applied to the building of a two-room schoolhouse in Brooklyn in place of the Hill School in Manhattan and of a four-room schoolhouse as originally provided. The second item (b) is not a new appropriation, but only a continuation and completion of a former appropriation for the Garland School. The first item (a) is the only new appropriation included in H. R. 35392 for buildings and grounds of colored public schools in the District of Columbia. The second item is the only appropriation for buildings and grounds for colored schools provided by the Act is only $32,000. On the other hand, it is a fact in the colored schools (1) that in the elementary grades over 11 classes above the second grade are now being taught upon a half-day basis in unavoidable violation of the law, because there are neither permanent nor portable buildings enough to accommodate these children. (2) that the colored elementary schools have not one adequately equipped manual-training center, in spite of the great need for hand as well as head training. (3) that—a high school—and the M Street High School are very greatly overcrowded, to the great injury of their instruction and training, and that this congestion grows worse each year; (4) that the normal school, which trains all the teachers in the colored elementary school, sequentially at the teachers of the vast majority of the teachers of Washougat is at present ludicrously housed in parts of two elementary school buildings to the grave embarrassment of its schoolhouses are unit for use. for example, the dilapidated wooden structures at Fort Slocum, Chain Bridge road, Ivy City, Benning road, and Birmey annex. But H. R. 25392, as passed by the House of Representatives and by the Senate prior to conference, provides for new appropriations in the item of buildings and grounds for white school aggregates $958,000, and for white school aggregates $22,000. This autonomous disposition is a very serious matter. It seems to me to be contrary to the demands of justice and the public welfare when one third of the whole enrollment of pupils in the public schools at the capital of the Nation receives in the item of buildings and grounds as provided by the Senate 3 per cent of the aggregate appropriation. It is not necessary at this time to argue in regard to the necessity for making proper provision for the education of all children in the city of Washington, both white and black. In such education rests the safety of the community, and no expenditure of the Government can possibly be made more important than the housing of children in the district at public. It does not seem possible that the appropriation in the expenditures for schools for the colored children and the white children could have been specifically brought to the attention of the subcommittee on appropriations that had charge of the bill for the appropriation for the District of Columbia. Provision must be made for all children in the District, both white and black, and such provision must be made the erection of proper proof of structure at a time when a deficit in the Treasury stores Congress in the face it will be the fairest kind of economy not to provide suitable buildings for the education of children in the District I hope, when the Committee on Appropriations takes up the question of making provision for the care of the schools in the District at the next session of Congress, they will see that a proper sum is appropriated for the colored schools as well as the white schools, and I shall use my best endeavors at the proper time to urge the committee to make such provision Loughbreckle, Lergenna Rex Frederick T.

The cornerstone of the new $50,000 Carnegie Library will be laid during commencement week. It will supply one of the most urgent needs of the university, relieving the upper floor of the main hall and allowing for class use the space now used for stock and reading rooms. Science Hall which has just been made possible through the generous provision of Compass faculty, is planning large extension in the Department of Science, and the fine new building which is soon to adorn the south end of the campus will go a great way toward meeting the needs of the growing population, with the number more than twelve hundred. Large crowds attended the song service on March 7, and the regular regular service on March 14, when the address was moved to the venerable chapel of the United States Senate. At both of these services hundreds were turned away for lack of room emphasizing the need of a large auditorium in which all the computerized The work of Miss Elise Bobb at the Colored Social Settlement commends it self to the sympathies of all Miss Bobb.
