VOL. XXII. No. 26. SOLDIERS ARE LAUDED In Unofficial Report by Maj. J. B. Durham War Veteran Best Behaved of All Regiments That Have Been Stationed at Madison Barracks, N. Y. has Played an important Part in the Grab Between Soldiers and Some of the People of Sackets Harbor Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Sackets Harbor, N. Y., March 20. Although Col J. L. Chamberlain, Inspector General of the Department of the East, has not complied his official investigation as to the cause of the ill-fated existing between the soldiers of the 28th Infantry and the citizens of Sackets Harbor, the soldiers feel confident that the evidence will show that many charges made against them are true. They are jubilant over the report of Maj J. H Durham, who declares that the evils have been greatly angered, and that race prejudice led to many disturbances. Maj Durham's interesting report is follows. "I came to the 'Military Village' expecting to find it a scene of disturbance, of confusion, turmoil, riot and anarchy, because the newspaper accounts which I had read concerning the troubles between the soldiers and the citizens pointed to that direction—and of course what we read in the papers must be, and it is—sometimes "I supposed that I would very likely, be held up at the station and made to declare 'Under which King Bezonian?' Expected to meet members of a Cavalier Committee on every corner. I departed from what I read to see the women of Sackets Harbor on shopping graft in fancy, cartridge belts filled with 22-caliber cartridges, because the men said that the women of Sackets Harbor had armed themselves with receivers for self-protection against the soldiers of the garrison. "I thought that there might be something in the cartridge belt idea, because a row of highly-polished cartridges would look rather ornamental, and then, so at a small expense, a dozen or so cartridges might be nickel or even silver plated. It is really too bad to have a brilliant imagination wrought up by the daily press to a dizzy height, brought to the earth with such a sudden disenchantment. It always wrenches a fellow to to kick at nothing. I found the old town as quiet as could be. I expected to find old friends and acquaintances all wrought up and excited, but they were not. I expected to meet some of my old friends in the ranks of the Vigilance Committee, but did not. I did not see a woman who carried a gun, and several women told me that they did not, nor did they know of one who did Vigilance Committee in Myth. The Vigilance Committee' consisted of the village constable and a young man, a boy really, who was sworn in as a special policeman to help the constable aidesdracapture a big soldier who was accused of attempting to break into a house. The Vigilance Committee, armed with a navy revolver and bravely recorded by the chief of police, chased the soldier through and over fences and across lots generally right into the arms of a prominent citizen, who captured him without a gun and held him until the Vigilance Committee came up and took him in charge. The civil authorities tried to hold the soldier on a charge of burglary, but knew just how to go about it, they put the prisoner in irons, took him to Watertown to the district attorney, who advised them to take him back and arm him over to the military authorities. But the civil powers were not to cheat of their prey, so they tried the soldier for being drunk and disorderly, and sent him to prison. Protest Against Color. "When it was known that the Twenty-fourth United States Infantry (colored) was to be sent to Madison Barracks, a book of protest went up on all sides. The newspapers added their editorial objections abitulum. Action was taken to have the War Department and the colored troops elsewhere. It became a matter of political gossip. The Democrat resulted the Republican for his inconsistency in objecting to the advent of his colored brother. But the colored brother came and he was surprise. Bear in mind that the people up North here knew nothing whatever of the characteristics of the colored people. They knew that white soldiers were bad enough and they had had such experience with them, and they took it for granted that the colored soldier must of necessity be still worse, none of his color. then the soldiers did come, the e were amazed to find a regiment on, finely drilled, clean, splendid fellows, orderly, polite, under discipline, observing of all the of military etiquette, and in a very superior body of men; so in fact than any white regi- ment that ever occupied Madison Barracks 'By and by people began to see that it was really possible for men having dark skins to have white hearts and good principles. Then the reaction set in "Then men of the Twenty-fourth United States Infantry, fresh from fighting for the old flag in the Philippines, had money in their pockets, had an abundance of it. These men are good spenders. In a short time they almost literally bought out some of the stores and those who had anything to sell could not savo too much in praise of the colored soldier. They made much of him. Some people invited him to sit upon the porch beside them, and tell them about the Philippines Brief chapter of Errors. "There rae some verey fine looking men in the regiment whose Negro blood consists of a mere tint—a shadow only on the complexion. With such, some of the fair daughters of the village flirted just a little, to pass the time away, but it was a great error on their part. Finally, the soldiers wanted to reciprocate the kindness with which they had been received, so they got up a grand supper at the harracks, to which many of the citizens were invited, together with their wives and daughters. They went, and there was another error, two, in fact, for the soldiers should never have given the entertainment, nor should the citizens have accepted when invited. It admitted and established in the mind of the colored soldier a social equality "The white man had not thought of it in that light. A woman when asked if she attended that dinner given by the soldiers at the barracks admitted hesitating that she did "Would you invite any of them to dinner at your own home?" "Certainly not' (undignantly) "Are you not just a little inconsistent?" "Well,' she replied I suppose I am but at that time I did not realize what it might lead to." Tempestions Increase. "As I have already hinted, as soon as it became known that the soldiers had an abundance of money, the number of drinking places increased and lewd resorts quadrupled in number. The saloons ran wide open nights and Sundays. Lewd women from Watertown, Syracuse, Rochester, Oswego and elsewhere flocked in, and citizens having houses empty rented them. It is not an uncommon thing. I am told, to find a disorderly house sandwiched between the dwellings of respectable citizens, but then the owner is getting big rent, you know, and the village fathers wink and move out." "A soldier wanting to visit one of those 'sandwiched-in' houses makes a mistake and goes to the wrong house. On being informed, of his error he touches his cap and goes away. The day the, daily papers tell of a widow who was frightened into fits by some Negro soldiers who forced their way into her home. There proves to be no word of truth in the statement. Some of the soldiers are accused of being 'Keeping Toms,' and may be truthfully. In one instance, however, the soldier established a complete alibi by white witnesses Soldiers Offer Reward. "Even now the soldiers and officers are offering a reward of $100 for the identification of the person who assaulted Miss Edith Gamble, should he prove to be a soldier. The fact is the officers and men are alike anxious to bring to punishment any one of their number who is guilty of any offense against the law; hence they complain bitterly that the whole body of men are made to suffer because there are three or four vicious men among them. There is not, nor has there been, a complaint made against any of these men that its counterpart was not found against white soldiers time and again, and not a word said about it. "But these men are colored men. That is the real animus of the whole thing Men who are acknowledged 'miger haters' are now shouting 'I told you so' and it is that class of men who are furnishing the press with all sorts of slanderous reports as to the doings of the colored soldier Finally, the clamor against his men became so great that Colonel Paulding issued the following order: Soldiers Forbidden to Enter Village Madison Barracks, Feb. 28, 1909 In view of the disturbed conditions and the animus shown by the citizens of Sackets Harbor, the enlisted men of this command are forbidden to enter the town of Sackets Harbor, except for the purpose of taking the train for Watertown or elsewhere and in returning In such cases when going out they will go direct to the depot and upon returning will proceed direct to the post without delaying for any purpose within the limits of Sackets Harbor Any enlisted man found in Sackets Harbor will be arrested and court martialed This order will be read to all of the enlisted men of each organization at retreat for three (3) successive days and a copy will be posted on the bulletin board of each organization in a conspicuous place By order of COLONEL PAULDING Robert S Knox First Lieutenant and Battalion Adjutant Twenty fourth U.S. Infantry Adjutant "U.S. Treasury has announced 'When this order became known the excitement rose to fever heat. The citizens thought seriously at one time of holding an indignation meeting and compelling Colonel Paulding to rescind his order. They even sent to Watertown to a prominent lawyer to meet them at Sackets Harbor and show them how to do it. He succeeded in showing them, not exactly 'how not to do it,' but how that it was better not to do it, and there the matter rests." Commander Accused of Boycotting. "The colonel is accused of 'boycotting' the business men of the village. (Continued on Page 8) THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SAFETY DEPARTMENT LASTON AVENUE HALL BOUGHT BY NEGRO MASONS ST. LOUIS MASONS PURCHASE HALL Three-Story Structure to Accommodate Sixteen Lodges Barred From the Hall—Owners Do Not Anticipate any Opposition From White Property-holders Special to THE NEW YORK AUB St Louis, Mo., March 23—At last St Louis can boast of a hall for Negro lodges, which is owned by Negroes. A deal has just been closed whereby the Negro Masons have acquired a three-story building for $22,500, and no longer will the respective lodges be compelled to pay large sums nearly for EASTON AVENUE inferior meeting places. The Masons have been talking of purchasing a hall for several years, but it was only recently that they adopted a business like method of buying property. The lodge hall is a handsome three-story brick structure at 3615 Easton avenue, known as the Easton Avenue Hall. In the purchase of the property by the Negro Masonic Hall Association another milestone in the record of maternal progress of the Negroes of St Louis has been added Within the last five years the Knights of Pythias, at 3137 Pine street the United Brothers of Friendship, at 2029 Lawton avenue, the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, at 2023 Morgan street, the Knights of Tabor, at 2701 Morgan street, Widow's Son Lodge, at 2708 Morgan street; the True Reformers' at 2600 Pine street, the Colored Young Men's Christian Association, at 2702 Lawton avenue, Douglass Hall and Building Association, at 2645 Lawton avenue, and the Provident Hospital Association, at 2824 Lawton avenue, have made property investments of a similar nature in the district between Jefferson and Grand avenues. In addition, Negro congregations have acquired several large churches, at prices ranging from $38,000 to $60,000. Oldest of Negro Orders in St. Louis. Although the last to purchase a home, the Negro Masonic Fraternity is the oldest of the Negro orders in St. Louis, its first lodge, Prine Hall No 1, being over sixty years old. The order has an active membership of over 1,800, among whom are many of the oldest and most substantial colored people of the city. The purchase was made for the association by a committee composed of Capt. William H Butler, Dr A W. Craddock and Dr Wm. H. Mansifee. Easton Avenue Hall was erected twenty years ago, at a cost of $85,000. Nine blue slodges, four Royal Arch chapters, four Knights Templars commandaries, one Scottish Rite consistency, one Shriners' temple, five courts of the Heroines of Jericho, five chapters of the Order of Eastern Star, and one Kadosh council, all of which are stockholders of the association, will have permanent headquarters in the building Capt Butler, chairman of the Purchasing Committee for the Negro Masons, recently said "We do not expect the slightest protest from the people of the neighborhood for the simple reason that there will be no cause for it. I have lived in the immediate vicinity of the hall for a number of years, and I have never had the slightest friction with my neighbors. The Negro Masonic fraternity is composed of orderly, self-respecting men and women, who are recognized as good citizens and nothing will be permitted on or about the premises to which any neighbor could offer a protest. For many years our order occupied lodge rooms in the heart of the retail bus ENUE HALL BOUGHT BY NEGI ness district at the northwest corner of Fourth and Washington avenue, and no protest was ever filed against us, owing to the orderly and genteel character of our gatherings The elimination of the Saturday night ball and the sale of intoxicating drinks, which will not be permitted under our man agement, will be an improvement that will be welcomed by the people of the neighborhood." INDIAN UPRIISING Militia Has Been Called Out to Suppress Trouble in Oklahoma CHETOAH, OKLA, March 29. In response to an order issued by Adjutant General Canton, the entire State militia has been called out to suppress the first real Indian uprising of years, that has already cost six lives and the wounding of many of the band and townspeople. The Indians, who are aided in their fight by half-breeds and Negroes, are under the lead of Chief Crazy Snake. They have sent word to the authorities that they will fight until the last member of their band is killed rather than surrender. Among the six lives that have been lost are two deputy sheriffs who were killed in an encounter with the Indians. The uprising started on Thursday last when an attempt was made by several deputy sheriffs to arrest some cattle thieves at Henryetta. The Negroes and their halfbreed friends fired on the deputy sheriffs and forced them to retreat. When the deputy sheriffs returned a few hours later with additional forces the band was augmented by a number of Crazy Snake's Indians, and they again opened fire. In this encounter three Negroes were killed and many others were wounded by the deputies, who made forty-one arrests. Said to be Due to Increase of Attendance Movement on Foot to Establish Separate Churches Special to THE NEW YORK AQB Boston Mass. March 31—Effete Boston is also drawing the color line in religious circles. In all the orthodox churches of this city and adjacent territory discrimination is being shown. In each of these churches when the number of Negro communicants was small the colored brother was accorded a hearty welcome, but as the Negro pop- PO MASONS ulation steadily increased and the attendance at these churches grew larger the old cry of "social equality" hobbled up and from the white members would be heard generous suggestions that the Negro members get a place of worship the town In a short time a little Negro church with a Negro minister would sprout Nowhere among whites by the Negro people seem to be wanted in large numbers. This suggests the question-Why is one Negro for Christ, preferable to one hundred Negroes? Or why does the Negro's influence among whites decrease as his numbers increases? How ever, Boston whites of late seem disposed to take a chance in the future life unaccompanied by a host of Negroes The great Trinity P. E. Church has made several efforts to discourage its Negro communicants. Some have taken the hint and have retired, but others hold on rather than establish and maintain a religious organization and boast of independence. One well conditioned Negro communicant gave an offering of a goodly sum to this rich parish, and it was returned to him with a suggestion to give it to a Negro church. This is only one of the many insults which have been aimed at Negro membership in this church St James P. E. Church, Cambridge, asked a Negro choir boy to resign, and put all its Negro Sunday school scholars in one class and in charge of a Negro member St Peter's P E Church, of Cambridge, was extremely restive until it secured a Negro co-worker in an effort to establish a Negro mission. St. Bartholomew is the result North Cambridge Baptist Church has given the most e courageing inducements to its Negro members to start a mission. Several efforts have proved futile, and there is considerable misunderstanding in that At the Hope Baptist Church, of Roxbury, a young Negro woman who had been teaching a class in the Sunday school composed of white and Negro pupils was asked to create a class of all Negro pupils, which she indignantly refused to do. The Roman Catholic Church, known as the most liberal in its treatment of its Negro members, has seen fit to establish a Negro mission, known as St Patrick Church. During the Chapman revivals in this city, which created a furore of a purely sensational nature, the Negro ministers were asked to hold separate meetings for Negro people of an emotional disposition. The Negro clergy did not comply. All people do not look with dread upon this exhibition of bigotry. Some regard it as a call to independence, the test of true manhood; others sulk and refuse to be segregated Collector Andersen Lecturer On Thursday evening Mar. 25 25th Charles W. Anderson, collector of Internal Revenue for the Second District of New York, delivered a lecture on "Facts and Fancies of the Race Question" before the Men's Club of St Stephen's P. F. Church Newark A large audience was present, including several representatives of the race resident in Newark, among whom was Proof J. M Baxter principal of Com- merce Street School. Collector of Internal Revenue Herold of Newark met Mr Anderson with his automobile at the train and after the lecture took him to his home where supper was served Previous to the lecture Mr Anderson dined with Dr. F. A Wasson, rector of St Stephen's Church, and his family Industrial School in New Rochelle. New Rochelle N. Y. March 31—By the kindness of one of New Rochelle's philanthropists an industrial school for Negro children was opened at League Hall Thursday, March 12. The school will meet on Friday after noons at 4:30 p.m the class to consist of girls from 8 to 12 years of age, who are taught how to sweep, dust, make fires table setting, washing, ironing, and many other useful principles of housekeeping. The Negroes of New Rochelle are very grateful, and praises can be heard on all sides for the citizens who are furnishing the school, and the directors of the New Rochelle Cooperative Business League, who allows the school to meet in their hall gratuitously. Foraker Praised in St. Paul. St. Paul, Minn., March 31. The following resolution was adopted by the Men's Union Club of St. James' A M E Church: There having occurred an epoch in the administration of the affairs of this Government during the last administration that seemed to engulf the Afro-American and tendered to place him in despair, in the discharge of the companies, "B," "Q," and "D," of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, commonly known as the Brownsville matter, at an unexpected moment there arose out of the cloud a man, through the intervention of Providence, who was to champion our cause, and Joe, b. B. Foraker, of Ohio, stood forth in the face of all opposition, throwing all personal interests to the wind and demanded that justice be done, at the sacrifice of a seat in the Senate of the Sixty-first Congress, and. Whereas. Through his indefatigable efforts a measure was passed during the last days of the Sixtieth Congress, giving the colored soldiers the right to reenlist under favorable conditions. Therefore, be it Resolved, That we, the Men's Union Club of St James' A M E L Church, of St. Paul, Minn, do earnestly extend to Hon. Joseph B Foraker, of Ohio, our heartfelt thanks for the hearty, unselfish efforts put forth incessantly for two years in behalf of the colored soldiers in particular, and the race in general, never wavering until justice perched upon his banner victorious. That we congratulate him most heartily upon the successful consummation of his efforts, also assuring him our earnest support, if ever an opportunity should arise to show our heartfelt appreciation. That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to Hon. Joseph B Foraker, of Ohio, and a copy be spread upon the minutes of the club.

Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENTS MEETING IN SOUTH AFRICA Held by Native Citizens on the Proposed Constitution Against Certain Provisions Which Deprive Them of Privileges on Account of Color To Unite and Demand That More Liberals Laws be Framed for Blacks—Representation in Parliament KIMBERLY, South Africa, March 1. At a big mass meeting of natives held at St John's Hall, Kimberly, a short time ago, the draft constitution was discussed and many protests were entered against certain provisions in the constitution which tended to discriminate against the Negro on account of color. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Kimberly Branch of the African Political Organization Joseph Joshua, chairman of the local branch of the A P O. presided Others active at the meeting were Messrs. Isaac Joshua, D Lenders, T. Dooling, P. Jamjies Van Rooyen, J Kay, T Wiliams, E Johnson, W Mack, G Henry, P M Dawson, H Delport, P Michael and Tevilli. In making the opening address, Chapman Joshua stated that from his point of view clause 35 of the constitution was the most vital, as it made it possible to take away the franchise of the black voters which they have enjoyed for fifty years Another phase of the constitution discussed brought up was the provision in the constitution making it possible to draw the color line regarding those eligible for election as members of Parliament. At present the natives of Cape Colony have the right, not only to vote for members of Parliament, but also to return members of the right to represent them in that body. By the constitution the right would be taken away. The universal plea was that a constitution be drafted based on Cecil Rhodes' policy—"equal rights for all civilized men." --- Mr. Van Rooyen, after reviewing the history of the convention, said the colored community were called upon, under the constitution, to make very heavy sacrifices—sacrifices which were more than they could bear. Therefore, whilst other communities were jubilant, they were downcast. They had come to the turning of the ways. They had had the right to return men of color to Parliament, and though they had felt it courteous notto exercise that right, they had never regretted refraining-from doing so. But when the door was shut, absolutely slammed in their faces, what could they think? They felt that that example, set by the framers of this constitution would tend to embitter their lives. The vote they were given was a sham, as no provision was made for the colored vote counting in the basis upon which Cape Colony was allowed fifty-one members in the proposed Parliament. The colored people would have no voice in the election of representatives to the new Parliament—the vote was a sham. If this color line was passed the position of the Cape colored community would deteriorate rapidly. The "privileges" extended to the colored people were a sham. Take the two-third majority provision—it meant that of the total of one hundred and sixty-one members of the two houses there would have to be fifty-four stamth to the colored people's rights. But even if all the Cape members voted for the colored rights there would only be fifty-one for them even then they would not get the requisite third to protect their rights. Plan to Make Africa a White Man's Country. The whole constitution was planned to make the country a white man's country, which would be a sad mistake for whites as well as blacks. The black people would never be satisfied without the franchise, and this constitution would take all their rights away "Equal rights for all civilized men," was the only stable foundation for a prosperous country—there would always be trouble if that basis was departed from. They had never abused their rights, they had never sought to oust the whites, they had been loyal, but if the constitution was passed their loyalty would be sapped. He had no hesitation in saying that the first time the question of colored rights was brought up in the proposed Parliament, the existing rights in Cape Colony would be swept away—so soon as the "sun" of the Transvaal shone upon this sham, even the sham rights given them would be swept away like morning mists. He suggested that resolutions on the subject should be framed and considered and submitted to a subsequent meeting. Isaac Joshua, the Hon Secretary, said the color line had been clearly drawn—the man with a black skin, no matter what his qualifications, was debarred from sitting in Parliament. Was is right or fair that able men should be excluded from Parliament simply (Continued on Page 5) TERRELL BANQUETED Begun Leaders of Capital Tribune First Negro Judge—Fifty Jay Reagan. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 31.—In honor of the newly appointed Judge Robert H. Terrell more than sixty gentlemen banqueted the appointee last Friday evening at Gray's cafe. The appointee being recognised as a race honor as well as a personal one, general good feeling run high—yet, with a tone that has seldom been equaled at the Capital. No one of the prominent officials at Washington can remember a better banquet, not only from the prandial side, but with regard also to the forensic utterance. The speeches were replete with history, philosophy, abounded with the extemporaneous and genuine eloquence. Taking fire from the scillating wit and satire of the toastmaster, Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, they were exceptionally clever and brilliant. The banquet hall was decorated with palms and greens, the table with American beauty roses. Judge Terrell was the recipient of letters of regret and telegrams from all parts of the country from those who were unable to attend, Dr. [Picture of a man with a bald head and a mustache, wearing a dark suit and a white shirt.

Anderson of New York, and one from The Ramblers of Cleveland. The Ramblers' telegram was signed by Messrs. George A. Meyera William H. Hunley, Charles E. Gordon, Walter B. Wright. Telegrams and letters were received from Hon. Wilbur E. King, Assistant County Attorney, Columbus, O. Dr. W. Y. Tunnell, Hon. Judson W. Wyons, John R. Johnston, W. S. William I. Pollard of this city, and Alexander H. Martin of Cleveland, Messrs. R. W. Thompson, Lester V. Carson, Eugene Brooks, Charles E. Hall, and Dr. J. R. Wilder of this city, and Hon. W. P. Dabney of Cincinnati. The menu cards announced a "Compli- mentary Dinner Tender to Judge Robert H. Terrell, the First Negro Federal Judge," followed by the inscription, Known the law and renders only de- sidered that square with the law—that's Barrell. In response to the toast, "Our Guest," by John H. C. Dancy, Judge Terrell said in part: "If I have reflected any credit upon the colored people of the country by my work as a magistrate in the years that have passed, I am particularly proud of the fact that you, who are my personal friends, should regard that work as an earnest of what may be expected of me as a judge in a higher court, an adeptor to justify every the faith we hold in God. Furthermore, I have worked hard to show this community that a colored man can fill acceptably a judicial position, and it may be pleasing to you to know that in my efforts in that direction I have always had the hearty support of the members of the District bar. "In our country, it is true, there are conditions growing out of discriminations on account of race which are not favorable to us as a people. How to deal with them most effectively and to our best advantage is the problem that we must address wrongs that we suspect in front of conditions that are not the creations of a day, but they be swept away by the efforts of a day. Discussing, further, the opportunities for the Negro, he said, "He is fortunate, too, in being a part of a great industrial development in a great, active and sleepy civilization. And it is to the honor and glory of us all that he has been aroused to the value of the mighty industrial opportunities that are all about him by one of his own people, one of the world's great men, Booker T. Washington. "More than any other one force the teaching and preaching of this remarkable man have given the impetus to industrialism in this country that will eventually make this the mistress we will never forget. The substantial activities that make for treatment. He has taught the people of our land, both white and black, the fact that "To know that which before us lies in daily life is the prime wisdom." "I believe that the future of the colored people is full of promise along all lines of activity. Perhaps oppression is driving them together, making them appreciate the wisdom of supporting their own business enterprises and patronizing their own men and women. It is not an unmixed judices to do this thing, however reprehensible and brutal it is, it is not an unmixed evil." Previous to this speech, which was received with hearty applause, extempore toasts had been rendered so as to keep the company in a continuous ripple of merriment broken now and then by patricio outbursts.

Mr C A Robertson, one of Roanoke's leading city zones with two of his little children was burned to death in his stable Friday evenings, the stables of Mr Robertson were in a light blue. An alarm was turned in and the fire department responded promptly but the home being outside the city limits, nothing could be done.

The stable was completely destroyed and a search was made through the fire and abuses for the remains, which were found, but unrecognisable.

Race Adjustment By Kelly Miller Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Howard University, Washington Neale Publishing Company, New York and Washington Large Octavo: $2.00, postage 13 Cents Orders may be sent to the author Agents Wanted, Liberal Commission Book News Monthly: "One finds here a less extreme and uncompromising attitude than that of Professor W. E. B. DuBois, and a larger horizon, a higher complexity of insights, than in the severer practicality of Booker Washington. It is a contribution from the most intellectual Negro author living." Springfield Republican: "A strong and forceful putting of the case for the Negro." Dallas News: "The author is a forceful and most pleasing writer, interesting from the first sentence of the first chapter to the close of the book." Hartford Courant: Suppressing burning wrath, the same professor applies these philosophical theories to cold facts in calm investigation of the conditions of race antagonisms in the South." Boston Transcript: "This book of Professor Miller is from beginning to end an appeal to the reason, pure and simple, of both races. It ought to be in the hands of every serious student of the Negro problem." Louisville Courier-Journal: "One of the best written books on the race problem." Chicago News: "The book is written with great ability, in English quite free from fault, and its logic is fairly inexorable." Cleveland Plain-Dealer: "Professor Miller shows himself a master of an incisive style of writing and a keen logician." C.

DENNIS MAKES STATEMENT Regarding Trouble Between Him and Charles C. Knowles in Lodge. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE In your publication of March 18 there appeared an article which I wish to goek around to see what he told me about an absolute falsehood in reporting his wife Charles C Knowles and myself in the lodge room on the night of March 10, and that it ended in the street. There is as a statement on the statement. The true statement of the story follows. The controversy between Mr Knowles and myself was a put-up job by his friends on account of the loss of a suit in which I was a witness. I was me with a threat and at the same time his beloved friends stepped in between us. He then struck me over his beloved friend's shoulder, picked up his coat and street, where his friend, Taylor, wont after him, with his own hat and per- sonalized him to run to Sixth Avenue to avoid being asked. I have never had any trouble with him, only to befriend him. Thus for twenty five years, save three, I have been in the lodge as a member, and thirty-nine years in New York. I never had a patch on his face, but I have been a fighter. Please reccylt that publication and brand it from whence it came as an absolute and unprecedented falsehood. I would not have had Mr Knowles in Ludlow Street. I would not have had him in the same place by his friend who would stand by him. I thought I would give his the opportunity to pro- vise his friendship. I tried to get satisfaction in the police court but they treated the suspect with kindness. I honored Charles Wilford H. Smith, who took the case in hand and has worked it satisfactorily for me as for as it has gone. George Evans of Quantico Dead.

Peterson, Secretary-Treas urer Address of the corporation and its offices, 7 and 8 Chatham Square, New York, N Y Address all letters and make all checks and money orders payable to The New York Age Publishing Company WHAT THE NEGRO THINKS There seems to be a growing conviction in the North that the solution of the race problem should be left to the South. Attending this settling conviction are the commercial and cowardly shirkings of the North of her responsibility as to how that problem is solved. Attending, also, that easing of the conscience of the North and the nation, is the utter disregard of what the Negro thinks about the settling of his status. Therein the North does injustice to the Negro, and closes its eyes to Negro injustice. Therein the North may be sleeping over a sleeping volcano Recognition of the fact that the Negro is not a negligible quantity in the solution of his own problem has recently come from a high and unexpected source, the president elect of the University of South Carolina, Prof C. S. Mitchell Speaking before the Umtarian Club of Providence, on March 10, he said "See what the Negro has done in 40 years At the time of the war the question was two-sided—what the North thought and what the South thought. Now it is triangular—what the North thinks what the South thinks and what the Negro thinks" Let also the timorous North recognize what the Negro thinks. The Negro knows he needs and is cultivating the friendship of his white Southern neighbors. By way of industrial school and industrial value, by way of moral worth and economic wealth, he is committed to the working out of his own salvation. But working for industrial equality, he is not willing to wait for civil equality Perhaps the most foolish statement put into the mouth of President Eliot during his Southern tour was that the Negro should wait five hundred or a thousand years before he would be qualified to hold office. None the Negro does not think he should wait even five or ten years for such qualification The Negro knows that, like his white neighbor, he has many men able to represent his race The Negro does not think that he should form any such permanent political slave class in this Republic He recognizes his inexperience and illiteracy, but he also sees the illiteracy and deprivation of his white neighbors He feels very keenly the unfitness of Southern whites to represent his citizenship. That mass of undismayed and progressing Southern Negroes want the friendship of their neighbors but they will accept in the end nothing less than justice from their neighbors Any abandonment by the North of the Negro to the caprices of Southern prejudice, any settlement of the Negro's affairs which does not reckon with what the Negro thinks as to that settlement, is a hazardous and temporary postponement of the issue The Negro, too, is going to stand to be counted. INJUSTICE TO THE JAPANESE The rabble of the far western states, like that of the South, seems bent on making mischief for America The latest exhibition of anti Japanese feeling, the mad pursuit by a California mob of the would-be bride of a young Japanese, shows the feeling of the two sections to be no different in kind or degree The one great difference is the fact that the Negro remains stead fast and loyal, while Japan and the Japanese are rightly becoming exasperated --- America is rushing headlong on a policy, in its treatment of the citizens of the land of the Rising Sun, as Unamerican and unjust as it is dangerous. Japan, if not now in the years to come will retaliate and America may be made to drink the dregs of sorrow for her present injustice. America knows, as Senator Root said at the banquet in his honor on February 26 that "Japan is a great nation of gentlemen, of soldiers, of scholars and scientists, of statesmen, a nation worthy of challenging and receiving the respect, the honor, and the homage of mankind." Still America. Listening to the clamor of a crazy crowd has insulted the Japanese by excluding them from this country as it does no other people save the Chinese. America has further frumbled that nation of fifty millions, whose immigration to this country could never be a menace, by making each of her subjects wishing to take part in the great Yukon exhibition put up a personal bond of $500 that he will leave this country after the exposition. No wonder that the Japanese will boycott the expoitation, which would mean so much to their development. No wonder that the Japanese now consider the proposal of an import tax of eight cents a pound on tea, a counter boycott measure. The Negroes of this country have no sympathy with American injustice to the Japanese The national government should abolish its own unjust regulations. By whatever means are necessary, it should protect the Japanese in the enjoyment of their life, liberty and happiness --- WASHINGTON IN CAROLINA No less, if not more, successful than his memorable tour through Mississippi last Fall has been the just concluded speech-making tour of Booker T. Washington through South Carolina. Certain it is the public has not been so shocked and the personal enjoyment of the tourists has been greater than on the other trip, when the lynched bodies of Negro excursionists, at Lula, Miss, were left to meet the gaze of the arriving party. Not one untoward incident has marked the tour of the Luskeeer orator through the Palmetto State. The white press of South Carolina has given equally full and respectful report and comment on the proceedings. Equal enthusiasm seems to have been manifested by the great welcoming crowds throughout the State, and hundreds of whites are reported to have heard the speaker in several places, especially at the Rock Hill and Gaffney theatres. At these places the mayor and other members of the city government personally welcomed the party. That a state of affairs so tolerant and progressive in South Carolina existed, the outside world would not have otherwise believed. The Negro hailing followers of Tillman in the State have hitherto monopolized public attention and a misinformed world has long looked upon that State as only the hot bed of Negro tolerance. The sight of a Negro in a Pullman car and making rear-platform speeches to the assembled crowds of progressive Negro farmers and sympathetic whites in South Carolina was quite beyond its imagination Aside from the insight which it gave the Negro leader into the educational and industrial needs of South Carolina Negroes, and aside from the splendid evidences of his popularity, Dr Washington's trip through South Carolina has done this. It has set the whites of South Carolina in a new light before the world. It has given added impu-tus to her rapidly-progressing Negro population. It has cemented the bonds of an already and an unknown friend, ship between her races. --- NEGROES OF NEW YORK Many contributors to New York dailies on the discussion of the crying need of New York Negroes for industrial training and opportunity have declared that this is the first duty of New York philanthropy, and that the support of Southern schools should be of secondary consideration. We, too, believe that this is a pressing duty of New York philanthropy. As one contributor said in extremes terms that many Negro communities in this State such as in Rockland and Bergen counties, through their poverty and backward environments reflect upon our civilization. The Negro youth of this State is in an anomalous position Born and bred with the ambition for high things, he gets only the industrial opportunity of a mental. He must either "hang about the ragged edge of industry" or degrade into vice and a living by his wits. In the years to come, we believe that this State and her patriotic citizens will correct all this by fitting and give the Negro a chance for a better life. It is a shortsighted view of the situation, however, to attempt to disparage or lessen the philanthropic efforts directing their attention to the South That New York Negroes need training in industry, in no degree lessens the need of the Negroes of Virginia and Alabama The Southern institutions neither can nor are they permitted to look to their States for very substantial aid. They must therefore, be dependent very largely on Northern friends But the need of New York Negroes for industrial training is apparent. Small beginnings to meet this need are now being made by Negro church organizations in this city and by the Negroes of New Rochelle. We earnestly hope that the State and its able citizens will soon come to their aid IN CONSISTENCY It is a curious fact, but nevertheless it is true, that the same group of Negroes who are william President Taft for not appointing Negroes to office in larger numbers are the same ones who in season and out of season have been persistently condemning Negroes who hold office, hurling at them such epithets as "bread brigade". The very minute that Negroes of high standing are put in office it seems that they at once become the target for attacks. At the same time, the President is blamed for not putting more of them in office. It is hard for us to understand such inconsistency. PROTEST OF THE AFRICANS. Gratifying, indeed, is that glimpse into the progress and state of mind of the South Africans furnished by a recent copy of the "Diamond Hilla Advertuser," published in Kimberley, South Africa. The report is given of a large mass meeting of natives, who protest strongly against the acceptance by the English government of the full draft of the constitution submitted by the convention of the four South African British colonies recently sitting at Capetown. The colonies represented at the convention were Cape Colony Transvaal, Natal and Orange. The natives fear that owing to the ambiguous wording of the constitution they may lose their present political rights Held under the auspices of the Kimberley branch of the African Political Organization, the meeting was addressed by nearly a source of speakers. The following from the report conveys the tenor of the meeting. The Chairman said the important point from his point of view was (lause 35 which referred to the fraternity) that he had been abused for nearly fifty years, which had never been abused, and could now be taken away (Shane'). There were many other points which required their care attention and an invited discussion on the subject. The Hon Secretary said that the House referred to which he read, the motion to present a motion was passed, they might have the franchise. Moreover, the motion to present a drawing of a color line regarding those eligible for election as members of Parliament. At present colored proponents themselves only to vote for members of Parliament but also to return men from amongst themselves to represent the nation. They would represent the motion that right would be taken away. They wanted a Constitution based on Colt Rhodes policy, equal rights for all civilized men (cloud applause). This is as remarkable as it is encouraging. The natives of South Africa are not only appreciative of their rights but are willing to fight for them. Liberty and political security are planted deeply in their bosoms and will, as everywhere, continue to grow and gain recognition. The natives in Johannesburg have been making strenuous complaints against their Jim Crow cars and against their being forced to walk in the middle of the streets. These are only straws but they indicate the way of the wind. They are good omens we believe assuring us that Ethiopia shall yet stretch forth her hand. NEGROES WITH CRAZY SNake Present advice do not permit us to speak with authority as to the source or nature of the trouble that has caused scores of Negroes to ally themselves with the Creek Indians of Oklahoma under Chef Crazy Snake in open defiance of the State authorities. Neither can we say definitely concerning the character of those Negroes, twenty-four of whose dead bodies were reported found on the war path In coming issues, however, we hope to give our readers the other side of the story. Rest assured there are two sides to the story when twenty-four Negroes fighting in a common cause will die in their tracks. Crazy Snake his declared he is fighting to redress the wrongs which his people are suffering at the hands of the incoming whites. The circumstances are strange. We are loathe to believe the report that these are Negro criminals from the near do well class of the South who in lust of blood and plunder had joined the uprising. Now whatever else the Negro is, or not, he is not even as criminal, a blood thirsty soldier of fortune. While had Negroes have doubtless come into Oklahoma from the South, it is worth noting that an equally vicious and larger number of criminal whites from the South have recently come into Oklahoma. These have sought to inject their Southern ideas into the new State with the result of increasing friction between themselves the Negroes and the Indians. We do not say, however, that there is the slightest connection between these facts and the present unhappy uprising. We only want to say that we shall see. For criminals black or white, we have only the severest condemnation. Whatever the motives and the provocations the Negroes have had, there can be no apology, no excuse for their turning outlaws. We trust that the Negroes of Oklahoma as Negroes always and everywhere have done, will uphold the law and help to enforce order. THE BROWNSVILLE BOARD THE BROWNSVILLE BOARD Admiral was the selection of retired army officers announced by Secretary of War Dickinson, for the court of inquiry who will reinstate the incumbent of the Negro battalion discharged at Brownsville in 1906. The board to be composed of a heutenant, a major and three brigadier generals—all retired, or perhaps, the highest in point of ability and rank that has been turned from the Army. 20 years The officers are: Lieut Gen S B M Young, Major Gen J P Sanger, Brig Gen Theodore Schwan, Brig Gen Butler D Price, and Brig Gen John M Wilson Capt Charles R Howland. Twenty first Infantry, has been appointed recorder The Negroes of this country may rest assured that the Black Battallon will get absolute justice from this court of seasoned veterans. While the army and those very conscientious Southern statemen may also calm their fears that guilty soldiers should re-enter the army. In short, the Brownville Board should give complete satisfaction in all quarters. --- EDITORIAL ARTERTHOUGHTS. President Taft told Bishop Games last week that the Negroes needn't worry about newspaper rumors, but that they should just wait and see what he would do. The Negroes are not worrying. Mr Taft, but this strain of wanting is getting awful tense Mr Emmett J Scott, it has been remarked, because of his reported recent "happy little speeches" in blossoming forth into an after dinner speaker. With so able and versatile a teacher in this and the many other public arts, Mr Scott seems destined to yet carry a broader waist line. The Omaha Enterprise, much wrought up over the fact that some Negroes in its city have been cashing worthless checks, declares it does not know whether the persons issuing them are drunk, crazy or fools. None of those things Brother Enterprise, out this way, if you are successful. In Leslie's Weekly, President Alderman, of the University of Virginia, recently said that the remarkable acquisition of land by the Negro is credible to his sagacity, but the harshest test yet for the Negro will be to hold that land during the keen competition of the coming years. Cheer up and buckle down to it. Negroes the worst is yet to come M Legitimus, the Negro deputy in the french chambers from Guadaloupe, has his seat next to M Blanc (Mr White) with M Lenoir (Mr Black) behind him, and M Ducarouge (Mr Redduke) in front of him.

Ship up now, Mr. Johnson and you will find that it won't take so many, and they will use a tougher method, too Because of his deadly opposition to the Heffin jim crow car bill of last year, and because of his recent vigorous demand for a proportionate appropriation of money for the Negro schools of Washington, the Negroes of the District are warming up to Mr. J. Van Vechten Oloott and calling him the square deal Congressman. We know of no other man upon whom the mantle of the strontious Roosevelt could so fitly fall. A. C.

It is an unwise policy to continue to multiply secondary schools in the State to be supported by the churches North Carolina Baptists now have more institutions of the kind than any other State in the Union. It would be infinitely better for them to build them than to undertake to establish an indemnite number, and feebly support them. A half dozen good schools well supported would reflect more credit upon us than hundred attempts and failures. The Raleigh Baptist Sentinel. After seeing and noting the evidences of business expansion among the whites, and after taking tab on their extensive business operations, it appears that the business Negroes in Houston should get busy too, and buy and own permanent sites in the business district. Opportunities to buy suitable locations in the business district at reasonable prices are fast passing, hence, if they would own some sites, they would be right now. Get busy, and stop complaining about high prices and other foolishness of that sort. The Texas Free man. The school board elected Mr Sam D Jones as business director for the schools at its meeting last Monday night. Both political parties had a candidate. This is the second step that the school board has taken toward eliminating the school board's duty will be to make contracts and purchase all supplies for the schools, as well as to hire and discharge all janitors by the approval of the board, and under the rules politics will have nothing to do with the qualifications of persons for the post. Ability and fitness should be the only requisites. The Louisville Column The South is our natural home, and the sooner we recognize this fact and adjust ourselves to the conditions pre-empted with a view of taking advantage of them the better it will be for all concerned Segregation or immigration will not give for us the character and respectability which count most among the people who do something. We must make our own choices. We must shop in the fields, in the commerces, in the trades in literature and in every field of activity that contributes to the wealth of the community or nation. We must live down right here at home the name we have made and outgrow the estimate placed upon our worth, here in our natives' memory, before we can anywhere Natches Weekly Herald --- The stigmatist is a message to any community and to the country at large especially is this true on things appertaining to the colored man.

Nothing so degrades a man as prejudice. There is little hope for the fellow who is so prejudiced that he can see no good in his neighbor. The prejudice unto himself more injury than he can do to the more agreeable man has prejudice. One thing against which our people should ever guard themselves is race prejudice. If we would succeed and lead a useful worthy life, we must cultivate a kind, brotherly and Christian spirit for all mankind. Let no prejudice interfere with the beauty and beauty of our lives, but with charity good will, let us join hand and heart with all good citizens to make the community in which we live the best, the happiest spot on earth. The Kentucky Torchlight. It seems to us that those who differ with the President's idea in regard to appointment, think that appointments to office will solve the race problem. This is not so and Mr Taft knows, or he ought to know, that the mere appointment of a Negro to a big fat job in the South among those people who are opposed to it would intensify race feeling in stand of creating a kindly feeling with each other. There are things of more vital importance in all consideration concerning the Negro and his relations to the white man will be the government than an appointment to office. The Lexington Stand and The Negro Baptists of this section of the country have done themselves proud. They have shown surprising ability to get together and pull shoulder to shoulder in one of the worthiest and most necessary enterprises in the history of the city of Memphis. The Baptists are unquestionably a great denomination in the greatest preachers in the most of their laymen are men of the greatest influence and ability. It has often been said that the Baptists are a disapproval fighting people. Be this respect as it may, we are satisfied of the fact that they have great capacity for getting together at the proper time when matters of vital importance arise. We have also demonstrated in the case of the Negro Baptist Hospital and Nurse Training School, which is now being organised in our city under the auspices of the Baphi Baptist and West Punjab县. Sappil and East Arkansas. The Memphis Sentinel --- It seems that Governor Smith has parted roads with everybody except the Hon. Murphy Candler, from the county of DeKalb.

The Governor is catching it a gwine and a comin'—The Atlanta Independent. There is no argument to be made against the proposition of "work and earn a living" Capt.

The Chicago Conservator The money lenders here have a great many of the colored men in the employ of the city in their clutches.

The Western Enterprise A native writes us from German S. W. Africa deploring the haphazard way in which natives seek work. Large numbers are continually making for German territory, only to meet with disappointment and deep distress, and the waste of bone and muscle which might be placed to better advantage where it is wanted is redeployed.

The Negro Fortune Teller Huntsville Ala PROFESSIONAL SECTIONALISM Excelling Wall Exposure Fake "South crime" and "gibbon" in New York eerner" and "Cuban" in New York. We remark three or four rank imbations on the national horizon. Perhaps it is just as well to classify them. Ranker, of whom I am, is an imitation Hawker, of whom I am imitation Southerner, who we think, usually comes from update and has carried a line of goods through the South possibly twice in his life. He loves to talk about the ancestral man and the former territorial possessions of the family. He hates the niggers, and vaunts the uncle and the cousin, and posts each other in a street car he will allege that that is a shooting matter "where I come from". He of course is the man who tells when the Italian table or orchestra up "Django". Another of these types is the imitator, a passerine. He really derives from the Wise people in the dialect and his deeds are borrowed from the cheap theatre and have no close relation to present realities. He matches wolves with his hands, so he tells you He carries a lariat and a certificate of membership in the Rough Riders affects a fannel shirt with a soft roll shirt. He carries a phone and, other sells buys mining stock and affords the federal public service. There is also we greet to say an imitation New Yorker. He is rather corpulent but playful footed and has a brunette vignette and a vaguely Thespian hair. His type seems to have been formed through an imitation of the data. In that way, he looks Harry well he tells you he is famous "Broadway wine opener" without the en-tting clause, and if you believe him, which you shouldn't is "putting up an actress." With imitation in our collection has a complexion darker still. In fact he is pretty nearly black. He is a "Cuban" for purposes of publication but underneath the surface a patriotic Ameri-can Negro from Mississippi leaves.

Rucker, Napier, Head and Tyler M. plain Keynote and Tank Taft. "The Negroes are now Americans the expression of President Taft on M. 4. As Americans we should be as de- cimated in every policy outlined it in inaugural address of the President other citizens are. During periods of panic and depressio the colored man as well as the white man feels the suffering incident there, to there is no differentiating between the ability and effort, except in point- cularity and before normal conditions. Likewise, when the supremely and the country is prospo- sive and the people are happy, the colored man shares in common with others the bliss- ings of being an American citizen. This is the significance in the Presid- ence of the statement that the Negroes are now American. Relative to the Negroes' rights, the President firmly plants himself on the Fifteenth Amendment to the Consti- tion He says. "This is a great protec- tion to the Negro. It never will be repeal, and it never ought to be repealed." * * * * The Negroes have the regulation man and will tend to obey it. * * * * for the Negroes that this is their con- tention and their flag, and their anxiety to and to die for it. He says, "Any reac- tion of their distinguished men, any ap- pointment to office from among his num- ber, is properly taken as an encourag- ment to the progress, and this just policy shall be sued." Here he makes himself clear his purpose to deal justly by the race. The President is fixed against encouraging "the mere pretense of race feeling manufactured in the interest of individual political ambition. And he emphatically highest rate prejudice or feeling, and that highest rate of its existence only awakens in his heart a deeper sympathy for those who have to bear it or suffer from it." No braver utterance than this could have fallen from his tongue. His life is a verification of the assertion, and it gives hope and encouragement to the thought of Thomasae everywhere in the country. The problems confronting the administration are varied, and in some degree vexing. But the President, with a mind well trained to grasp affairs and properly adjust them and a kind heart and gentle disposition, may be relied upon, guided by the understanding, instrument to the understands and cherishes, to understand and justly by every citizen. He should have the prayers and support of all. We should give him our confidence and support now as we gave them to him for nomination and election, and we should have no fear that the race will be forgotten and loyalty to country, flag and party will not be respected while he is President. (Collector) H A Rucker Atlanta, March 28, 1909 Of all parts of the Constitution of the United States, the one that most concerns us now is the Fifteenth Amendment. All of us know what the almost unanimous sentiment among the dominant classes in the South thereto is. It is also well known that Mr. Taft is desidered of establishing the most friendly relations between the United States and the country in his inaugural address, "I look forward with hope to increasing the already good feeling between the South and other sections of the country" To this sentiment every good citizen should subscribe. For when good feeling, genuine peace and tranquility exist between the different nations of the country, the same good feeling exists in the country. And the same good feeling exist between the Negro and his neighbor in whatever part of the country he may be. Immediately following the above expressed hope, and after an endorsement of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments of the Fifteenth Amendment, the Fifteenth Amendment has not generally observed in the past, it ought to be observed. It never will be repealed and it never ought to be repealed. The regressors are now Americans. This is the reason why we have to live for it and to die for it. We are charged with the sacred duty of making their path as smooth and as easy as we can, and this just policy shall be pursued. Perseus has the slightest race prejudice or feeling." All of these expressions breathe the warmest friendship, sympathy and interest for the Negro and his cause. And coming, as they do, from the chief executive of the nation, the reasonable and友善 exclusion is that they portend a frightening introduction to the people experienced Mr Taft has so successfully handled the difficult problems of the Philippine Islands, the Cuban problem and that of the Panama Canal, that I have faith to believe that he will likewise handle the problem that concerns our race in this country with equal success and with equal satisfaction to all countries. I apply the plain common sense gauge to all that Mr Taft has said or done. I believe him to be sincere, candid and genuine in his friendship toward the Negro. I take no stock with those among our own race who would place a far-fetched construction on his words and thereby interpret them to mean a halt in the progress of our country in any of his rights or privileges. Neither do I take any stock in the belief of those people who by distorting his words would place him in the same category with themselves, who have always opposed Negro progress in all its phases. 4 Lawyer J C NAPIER Mr. Taft's inaugural address, as a State paper, is to my mind, a masterpiece. Every subject is treated with the care of a great statesman who has a complete grasp of the situation. As to the hearing on the future of the state, Mr. Taft acknowledges that whatever tends to the improvement of conditions generally will be a benefit to our own people. Our interests are so completely linked with the welfare of this country that not much harm can come against us without injury to the country at large, nor can we be kept from the enjoyment of the general prosperity. In his inaugural address the President declares the need to see the very serious race problem which is troubling the minds of a great many people. On this question I fail to discover a line of persuasion. He seems to back in the sun beams of a good time. This favorable opinion of race conditions expressed by the chief executive of the nation, can not fail to have a good effect. He sees problems in the race, and he knows the State and National problems affecting the whole people. If President Taft can succeed in getting a more representative class of men for the federal office, he will not only be a strong leader, but he will make it better for us. We are known as supporters of the Federal administration. It therefore must be clear to any thoughtful mind that if there is bitterness toward the admiral, it will be a strong effect of that bitterness. And the greater the harmony between the South and the National Government, the better it will (Continued on Page 6) The funeral services of Sunny Bryant, who died last Friday evening from a paralytic stroke, were held last Tuesday evening at the Fleet Street Memorial A.M.

The reception and entertainment given at the Settlement House, 105 Fleet place, last Monday evening, was an unusually pleasant affair and in every way a success. The idea of entertaining the classes of the settlement originated in the mind of Mr. W. Downing a woman's union. I am a woman's meetings for the benefit of young Negro boys and girls, the object of which is to acquaint them with the noted men and women of the race. The meeting last Monday evening was largely devoted to the discussion of Paul Lawrence Dun. and work with his wife, Pranay, president of the men, spoke interestingly on the magnificent achievements of the great race poet. The rooms of the settlement were filled with the boys and girls of the vicinity, who were alike with interest in all that was said and done and entered fully into the spirit of thepose. These have been instituted. The program was a most pleasing one was given as follows.

SOLDIERS ARE LAUDED (Continued from Page 1) but his men say that if the colonel should rescind the order they will not trade in the barracks town any more. Watertown is now getting their custom. "I think that it was an error on the part of the commanding officer at the time the regiment took post at Madison Barracks that he allowed quite so much freedom on the part of his men. Had the citizens understood the Negro character in general as well as they now do there would have been little, if any, trouble. "Had the village authorities forced the saloons to obey the law and restricted if not entirely prevented the use of weapons of force in raidy houses it would have been better still. "If the people would blame only the guilty and not make the whole suffer for a few or in other words, not blame the Negro soldiers for that which if it had been a white soldier, not a word of blame would have been spoken there would soon be no more trouble. "Notwithstanding all the unnecessary trouble, a majority of the people of Sackets Harbor admit that the Twenty-fourth United States Infantry (colored) is the best beheaded regiment as a whole ever quartered in Madison Barracks.

President Taft has shown his friendliness toward us and with that settled if he can get the friendly attention of the South he will certainly be in a better position to help us. His unfulfilling support of the Fifteenth Amendment when誓师 touches upon him then one thing that is frightening the minds of those who are unfamiliar in the case and therefore might be the most encouraging to us. Seeing where he stands on this matter, which I feel is the one most important of all matters for us. I am willing to trust his judgment for the balance. (Bishop) J. W Hoop Pascoville N. C. March 26 President Taft's inaugural address is one of those intensely human documents the more one reads and studies, the more is one conceived of the evident honest and sincere purpose of the author to harmonize all the conflicting interests and all the different classes that have in common with the author, with as little loss to each as is possible in adjusting great questions and problems to square with the constitutional rights, and proper adavancement of each of the several interests and classes. In so far as his utterances directly concern our race, the more one studies his address the more is one impressed with his deep interest in the race, and his honest purpose to secure a permanently bright future for the whole race than an adversary advantage that might be too few. Every member of our race who reads carefully, instead of superficially, must be convinced that President Taft has carefully considered first the interests of the whole people, and then the interests of such as constitute a part of the whole, and of the right action, uninfluenced by prejudice, to harmonize the parts with the whole. President Taft's inaugural address, and most especially that portion referring to our race, emphasises his unquestioned interest in the success of the race as a whole. The great conservative masses—the people of our race who are building character and material progress every day. I believe, with implicit confidence in the ability and desire of the President to deal justly, and in the ultimate realisation of his aim, to reduce friction to a minimum, and to attain and maintain a unity of race and interest, regardless of race and section. (Auditor) RALPH W. TYLER MEETING IN SOUTH AFRICA (Continued from Page 1) because of their color. The proviso for a two-thirds majority who was said to safeguard the present rights of the colored people was nothing. two-thirds of the representatives in the Cape Assembly would vote for depriving the colored men of their rights. What hope then had they of the rest of the country? Not one of the local members had raised a voice against this color line provision, not one of the men who were pledged to maintain their rights, had spoken against their clear infringement of their rights. If men they had regarded as pledged to do what they were voice against this line, what would the rest of the country do? So soon as the new Parliament was elected under this constitution would they lose their rights. [Constitution Framed on color Line.] The constitution was framed on a color line. They wanted their people to value their vote, they did not mind if a special qualification was imposed for colored men, but they wanted a "vitalization" qualification, not a color line. "We see" headed, "bots, of ignorant, uneducated white men in this country, why should they have superior rights to the educated black man of good character?" Is it right? There were ignorant men among the blacks, but the majority were not men without character. He dwelt upon the fact that the Bond had rallied to the support of the colored people at Capetown, whereas the pledged followers of Cecil Rhodes had abandoned their past policy. If the rights of the colored people were not protected, there were nine colored men to every white man in the country, and though the whites might oversee them by force of arms the colored people had constitutional methods of making themselves heard. If 7,000 Indians in the Transvaal had given all the trouble which had been given there as the result of the passing of the Asiatic Act, and if one man (Dinuzulu) cost the country £8,000 merely for his trial what would the trouble be when every colored man in South Africa was dissatisfied? Colored Communities to Unite on Question. They did not want white men, whether principals of Loveyda or such institutions or not, to express satisfaction with the constitution on behalf of the blacks, those white men would not suffer under the constitution, but the black man would. All colored communities should unite on this question. Mr. Lenders stated that Europeans were strictly speaking, people from Europe there were lots of people nearly white who called themselves Europeans in this country who were not Europeans. There were men in all the Parthenames of South Africa who had sprung from the colored community. Were the colored people to be deprived of all their rights by such people as that? Let the man without color throw the first stone. He emphasized the disabilities under which colored people labored in the Transvaal, which disabilities did not exist under the Boer regime. Mr Dawson who expressed himself eloquently in the "total," drew a comparison between the provisions of the Magna Charter, and of this constitution. He concluded "On one occasion in Graaff Remet I was privileged to have an interview with one of our members of Parliament and in speaking to him of the rights of colored men he assured me that these were quite secured by Ordnance No. 50. I have since read that Ordnance, and would like to know what has since he come of and incidentally our rights." Bonell News Miss F.

They are interested more than ever before in reading their own literature and patronizing their respective business enterprises. We need badly another safe on the all night basis. We also need more people interested in Loan and Loan Company. It is possible for Negroes to control the entire loan business here among the members of the race. We have some good real estate man but we need more. There is also a demand for a cooperative printing company. The Negro printing business in Springfield is profitable. We need more farmers and businessmen. In about the Negroes should enter into all lines of business before entering they should have experience. The cause for most of the failures is ignorance.

Judging from the large houses that greeted him the first day of his short engagement, he will enjoy a successful week in America's most famous week in the theatre. On the program Johnson is the "indefeated champion of the world, presenting a scientific exhibition of bag punching and other gymnasium work, concluding with a three-round sparring exhibition with Kid Cutter." The writer cannot conscientiously say that the act is what they term in the theatrical parlance "a scream," yet it fills its mission, as do all such acts—draws a crowd. If Jim Jeffries is being paid a large sum to point a bag a few tame rounds and get such easy money in the arena as the only man who invites Johnson an interesting argument in the ring, why should not the champion of the world also do a few gymnastic stunts and gather in a large supply of currency? In looking over bills at the various North yauveille houses this week one is reminded that athletes are playing a prominent part; at Hammerstein's Victoria Theatre Jack Johnson, pugnish; in headliner; Mike Donlin, professional ball player, heads the bill with his wife, at Keith's Fifth Avenue Theatre, at the American Theatre Annette Kellermann, diver, is the principal attraction. It seems as if this is the day of the athlete who gains distinction in his chosen profession. It has not been very long ago when the best optician seated on the stage could do to become a member of a burlesque show or join a company presenting some "blood and thunder" play in a second class house. Peter Jackson was given a part in a company playing "Uncle Tom's Cabin," Sullivan, Fitzsimons and a host of prominent heavy and lightweight fighters have been connected with burlesque and shows of the melodramatic order, but they have been permitted to grace a bill on which was inscribed "poteau vauille" Jim Corbett is an exception to the rule. He has developed into an actor and has made a reputation as on a monologist. he does not reputation as a fighter as he does on his present one as an actor. So when William Morris decided to put Jim Jeffries in polite vauilleville because of many of the white inhabitants that he was the only one who would be a formidable contender against Johnson for the championship title, Willie Hammerstein went Morris one better and made the colored champion the leading attraction at the leading vauilleville house in this country. Truly this is a great era for prominent athletes who desire to face the footlights, and while white knighted actors are being trained, actor who is to-day sore at heart being compelled to witness the spectacle of a colored man heading a bill—not a Hogan, a Williams and Walker or a Cole and Johnson—but a fighter, it must be remembered that this is the day of the professional athlete on the stage, and that it cannot be helped because a colored man is the leading fighter of the world. --- Jack Johnson did not do anything out of the ordinary Monday evening. His bag-punching exhibition was tame in comparison with several bag-punching acts in vaudeville. The writer has seen much better exhibitions than Johnson and Jeffries have given in New York, but it is not expected that such large men should be superior bag punches because they are first in the fastic art. Neither did Johnson exert himself in the three-round sparring exhibition with his partner, Kid Cutler. To anyone who knows something about boxing Johnson was content to play with his adversary and was willing to get into the box for him to get another sparring partner by handling Cutler roughly. A few of the white patrons seated in the upper floors, and who evidently had never seen a boxing contest, thought that the only way to get the worth of their few small dimes was to see the champion heat his opponent in a pulp. Because such a state of affairs did not exist a few hisses were heard but a visual glance at the offenders was enough to give one take off, and consider the source as the factor in stance it was plainly evident to either a wearer of green goggles that the culprit was pitiful ignorant or either a reader of Figdron, of the Evening World. After all, many boxers and Jeffries are only looked at in a manner that does not go through a窒ious fifteen minutes as is necessary for the other vaudeville performers. Several weeks ago Dorando at the Victoria Theatre. He only trotted around the stage several times, made several bows and got the money. Jack Johnson did not do anything out of the ordinary in punching the bag or sparing last Monday evening, but he gave one exhibition that made every colored person present feel proud of him, and that was when, despite the hissing by a few ignorant and prejudiced whites, and the throwing of a lemon by one white other in an upper box, who had not other in an upper box, who had not recovered from the shock of a col- ored man winning the championship title, he showed himself to be a gentleman, cool, collected and acting every inch the champion that he is. While his gymnastic exhibitions did not create unusual comment, when he stepped to the footlights and thanked those in the audience for the enthusiastic reception tendered him, and even thanked the thrower of the lemon and others of that ilk, the applause was long and deafening. Surely his white inferiors felt cheap—if mentally capable. It has been said that Manager Willie Hamsterstein has been upbraided by friends and perversely for or making it too soon, loading attaches to his house. Evidently they have sought to show him that the champion would draw a colored following that would be obnoxious to the patrons of the theatre.

Although the present theatrical season has been generally known as a hard one, the members of the company have been paid their salaries regularly. Manager McCabe has been able to keep his large company together and, with the various themses supplied with plenty of special paper. It is the policy of the manager of this show to advertise extensively whenever you have something good for the public, and be successful. Despite this is the Leuten season the company is doing a fair business. F. K Only a few days more and the show will be in 'Frisco. During our engagement in Los Angeles our business was more than was expected by thirty per cent. The understudies were called into play unexpectedly several evening agos owing to the non-appearance at overture and first act of Billy Young. Gun Hailey played the English chaple, while Day played the Young's part in a finished manner. Contrary to all rumors that this show would not play the coast, but will stay in the South all season, a slightly silence is being shown by the chronic forcecasters. The Black Patti Pullman car has dressed up in the Southern Pacific Rail road yards, and we should be seen on the platform. We can sit at the windows or stand on the platform with as much gusto as anybody and feel proud. The inside has also been thoroughly renovated by our hustling porter, Tom Floyd, and it is safe to say that it is one of the best equipped ever used by any show of its kind.

The Axes correspondent was the guest of Tim Oswaley to dinner recently in a most beautiful part of Los Angeles. His home is a veritable bower of flowers and orange and lemon trees, while in the spacious back yard there is one hundred or more pedigreed chickens and turkeys, also eggs gathered daily. A house for Petra luma incubators, with hundreds of eggs hatching, was another sign of the back yard, and most time was spent out doors in the back of the parlor. The hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Woodson and Mrs. Tim Oswaley made the visit a most enjoyable one as well as interesting.

THIS has really been a great week for admirers. With the champion of the colored pugilists and their many world in New York City and Sam Langford, an aspirant for the heavy-weight championship title also on the scene, the team was greeted by a space to Jeffries, Ketchell, Kaufman and the other prominent light fighters. Jack Johnson was accorded a rousing welcome when he arrived in town Monroe, where he was greeted by an enthusiastic throng, composed of colored and white admirers. It was a pleasing sight to note the warm welcome the members of the champion's team were welcome to which he was rightly entitled. When Johnson arrived at Grand Central Station he was immediately taken in charge by a host of colored friends, to put puns on all the large automobiles that he drove through the various streets and was finally taken to Barron Wilkins' Hotel, where he was compelled to make a speech. During the week the hotel had a large number of places in the city, and large crowds have been in evidence in the hotel as well as on the outside to get a look at the new champion of the world. In many of the public events Johnson has visited during the week he has been compelled to make speeches Langford Defeats Harris Monday evening, at the Marathon Club of Brooklyn, Sam Langford put away Morris Harris, the colored heavy-weight. in seven rounds.

There were nearly seven hundred dispatched devotees of the fistic game in Ounnha, and the police stopped what was scheduled to be a fast bout between Carl Frampton and Nathe Travis, two local light weights of promise. The match was to have been pulled off at the Pelk Theatre, where a large crowd had assembled, but the parade was delayed. A purse of $500 had been put up, which with the gate receipts, was to have been divided on a sixty-four basis. Roy Givens was Frampton's backer, and Billy "Tittlehead" hooked after Travis' in holder and Bob Johnson was official stake holder and Bobby Franklin of St Louis, referee.

PETRAL, MARCH 14, 1974 M Wilkerson, of this city, is a notable example of how young Negro men, if they will bin venture, may succeed in the business of his father eighteen years ago, succeeded to the management and finally to the ownership of what has for a long time been known as Wilkerson's Undertaking Patent tabulation. The firm does business in a large modern two story brick building the bottom floor of which is used for the office, and the upper floor as a symposia rental hall for concerts, entertainments, etc. By business fact Mr Wilkerson has won the confidence of both white and black, and has been able to increase his business in a way which not only assures the public of his own capacity to take in a business proposal, but also makes possible employment for a number of our young men and women. As an embalmer he is first class, and employs three assistants; and he is the the past week with rheumatism. Rutherford Notes Jersey City News Petersburg, Va.

The East View Cemetery Company is one of the most recent ventures of the business men of Pittsburgh. Not long ago this company incorporated, and imminently began to sell, so too well understood to mention, purchased a magnificent tract of level land immediately adjoining the famous Blanford Cemetery (white), and right on one of the suburban car lines, for the purpose of adjoining colored people of our city a desirable burial place. Of the company are: Dr. W S Fields, Prof. Jas M Colson, Mr Jas M Wilkerson and Mr W A Penn, each of whom is especially qualified for his post and deserves much credit for this white burial. We already had the land substantially fenced in and so beautifully platted and landscaped that one would hardly ever take it for a Negro cemetery. They say, sometimes, a racecross progress is measured by the weaves upon its dead. If true, we have here a splendid sign of race progress.
