OL. XXII. No. 32. Discussed by Washingtonians of Every Walk of Life. 'MORE EFFICIENCY' In the Prevailing Sentiment Among the Parents Relative to Staff of Teachers. Which Game Out in Def use of Supervisor of Music, Commented on by the Age Correspondent. SPECIAL IN THE NEW YORK AGE WASHINGTON, D.C., May 12—There was a time, early in the history of this country, when the stage-coach was considered a rapid means to travel between towns. The country grew apace, and canals were built, and the now old antigated canal boat which was once considered a luxurious mode of travel, has followed its predecessor, the stage-coach, into retirement, as a rapid means to travel. And still the country grew, addin time the steam cars that coul make a mile in five minutes, superceded the canal boat. Now we have the "fast express" and the "limited mail," which fairly annihilates time, and go bounding over the stretches of steel rail at the rate of mite miles an hour. There was a time when some of the present teaching force of Washington's Negro schools were far in advance of the system of education, or at least fully breast with it. Times and conditions have changed, and are changing every day, and in all walks of life, in all professions, many of the once considered agents are but as pigmies as compared with the twentieth century masters. It seems necessary for me to repeat, order to fully impress it upon the master of THE Ace, that I have no personal feeling against any member of the teaching staff, and neither will I permitiment to lean me for or against any member. I have not so much as a speaking acquaintance with any of them. When I went to Washington for the sole purpose of investigating the schools, I sought out no teachers—I only sought the opinions of parents—well-informed and unbased parents whose whole existence is wrapped up in their tender offspring. Some of these may have erred in their judgment just as a teacher may err, but I found that the mannacity of sentiment was an argument in favor of accepting their opinions. About the Supervision of Muscle. Referring again to the supervisor of music for the Negro schools, I heard not one word against him as a man, neither was his earnestness or his sympathy, and for his work called into question. All united in saying that he had a wonderful native ability, that his ear for music was superfine, and that few could surpass him in the readiness with which he read and interpreted music. This even went so far as to say that had fortune, in the way of a plethora of praise smiled on him in his early days so that he might have been able to pursue musical studies in the best conservatory at home and abroad, he would have taken rank with old masters like Beethoven, Shubert and Wagner, and that even the race's present awnings of musical genius. Colehagen lay, would have been as the monk to the sun as compared with this would be a great musician. But the question naturally suggests itself, has not only passed the present director who was hampered by adverse circumstances, properly preparing himself for the present day advance for the supervisor in music in a twentieth century school. It is natural that it be advanced that he had successfully a church choir or a church society whose membership, in fact, is made up music lovers rather than music students. Sousa is considered the most popular director of the age and vet Damrosch will bring a memory when Sousa is set a fading dream. I have at the highest regard, and for a man who, the best he has to do, he has the highest regard for his self-will and self-effort in his disposal with self-will and self-effort. But does he stand for his sufficiently high above that he is elected to lead, consider that he advanced times and needs that he is the best to he and for work? That's the question to answer. Hitler Letter Answered. In the world's issue was published a letter for Mr. Hitler whom I do not know, whom nobly, and with some arguments to the defense of present musical director. I do not know that he has a grasp on the art of music. In fact his letter is so well written and written high conception of music that I should ask if the defender is more older than the defendant I recall as when attending medical school and when the lecturer at clinics the day was explaining the valyacular action of the heart; he said: "The heart the motor that generates life Al- THE NEW ways, in diagnosing a case, be particular to first note the heart action, no matter how simple the disease." The director of music in a public school is the motor that generates the music in the pupils. That motor's armature should be perfect, or at least nearly so. The world has been denied many a successor to Beethoven, many an equal to Shubert because the director happened to be too far down the scale from the "high C." Who knows but what in the Negro schools of Washington there may be an embryotic Beethoven? Who knows but what among those "pinafond" brown lassies there is a Jenny Lind or a Nordica? Wrapped up in the souls of some of these ebony-hued lads and lassies is the divine gift of music. It follows there, that the best key obtainable should be employed to unlock the doors now ready to burst open on their own initiative, to these souls, and bid the music come out and revel in the spring time of opportunity. If the present director is the best obtainable, then I say more power to him. It is not a question of the man primarily. It is not a question of the teachers principally. It is a question of the future of the youths, the litter-limbed, buoyant-hearted, ambition-inspired, hopeful offsprings of hopeful dark-skinned parents. When I first began to practice medicine my first case was one of tuberculosis. The awful germs had already consumed his vitality I realized that I could not save him, so I simply prescribed an opiate that gave unwarrantable hope but no relief. In after years, when I had given up the practice of medicine, I often recalled that poor, hopeful, hopeless patient, and wondered if it would not have been better had I administered the tonic of resignation rather than the opiate of false hope. It occurs to me that possibly the present director of music is but an opiate of never-to-be-realized hope rather than a curative antidote. At least the opinions of many Washingtonians expressed to me leads me to suspect this: Washingtonians Responsible for Criticism of Schools. And Washingtonians, themselves, are responsible for the criticism of their schools becoming public property. They themselves are the first and the continual real critics. Hit the trail down Pennsylvania avenue any time "in the spring when a gentler iris comes upon the burnished dove" in the mid-summer, when the sun's rays, charged with almost satanic heat comes down perpendicular, or in the winter when the cold north wind sweeps across the Potomac, and the first thing you hear is about the schools. Navigate out in that exclusive and gossip section, euphoniously called Le Droit Park, and the matrons talk school across the fence and from the dean down to the caretaker of the buildings you wil hear school gossip. Walk down through the wards of Freedman's Hospital, and you will hear the patients discuss the schools and teachers between doses; the nurses suggest changes and the internes interrogate each other concerning the schools and teachers. Drop down in South Washington among the happy-go-lucky denizens of the alleys there, and you will hear criticism of the schools "Attend a private sorce among the uppercrusts, and the dance will be enlivened with gossip about the schools. It's in the air, everywhere. Take away the school question from Washingtonians and you take all the sunshine out of their lives. But if a thing occasions as much gossip as the schools of Washington do there must be more than simply a pre-deliction for gossip to warrant it. People there are now satisfied it is not in the head, but in the body politic. Why not extract the decayed tooth? HRM Must Die For Killing Negro. CITY OF MEXICO May 11—Samuel Hampton the former railroad conductor tried for the first time more than a year ago for the killing of a Negro Pullman porter, Lige Patterson, and sentenced to death, and again given an appeal, must die, if the decision of the superior tribunal as handed down this morning is final. Hampton's attorney have fought the sentence of death buttress, and have carried it through all the courts. There is only one step left, and that is the Supreme Court of the Republic, and doubtless Hampton's attorneys will take the case to the highest court in the land. Hampton is 49 years of age and had been in the railroad business in Mexico for several years, when, more than two years ago he shot and killed Patterson. Serves Hour in Jail, Gets Money and Clothes. BATON ROUGE La. May 10. An unusual sentence was served in the State Penitentiary last week. In St. Ammons, a Negro, was sentenced in the Soto parish to one hour in prison for involuntary manslaughter. Williams made more money in serving his sentence than he had ever made before at one time in his life, being given upon his discharge the customary five dollars in cash, a new suit of clothes, and pair of shoes. To Hold Separate Convention: MEMPHIS, TENN. May 10- At the seventy seventh annual convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Tennessee, held in this city last week the Negro members of the church in the diocese gained consent to have a separate convention. This does not entail a separation of the Negroes from the church in any sense, but permits them to take care of their own church problems in a convention of their own. NEW YORK PROF. H. T. KEALING Talks on "Racial Progress Towards Universal Peace"—Many Distinguished Men in Attendance. CHICAGO. Ill. May 20—Perhaps the most important event in this city since the Columbian Exposition was the great peace conference, which was in session for three days last week. Delegates from all parts of the world were present in council seeking to create a public sentiment that will bring to an end throughout the world war and its attendant horrors. Nearly all the great names names in our national life are members and are helping to settle national and international disputes by arbitration, rather than by the arbitrators of armies and navies. The utterances of the conference all tended to emphasize the idea of the brotherhood of man and a oneness of interest in the common good that must result in an uplift that shall reach down to the lowest strata of human society. At no time or place was there a false note sounded although men from the South as well as from the North spoke out of full hearts on the important things that must be considered for the world of mankind. A feature of the long and varied program was the appearance of a Negro as one of the speakers. Prof H T Kealing, editor of the A. M E. Church Review, was the one selected to speak on the subject, "Racial Progress Toward Universal Peace" Such distinguished men as David Starr Jordan, of the Leland Stanford University; Prof. Paul Reinsch, of the University of Wisconsin, and Rabbi Hirsch were on the program with Prof. Kealing. It was a rare occasion, both on account of the number of notable people present and the interest manifested. Prof. Kealing's address made a profound impression. No man during the whole sound of the murmur was frequently applauded as he developed his arguments. His nimble wit and startling epigrames were keenly appreciated. At the conclusion of his address the audience rose en masse and cheered him again and again Bishop Parks, Dr. I D P Roberts and other representative Negroes of the city were present, and in every possible way manifested their pride and satisfaction at being so fittingly represented, and feel that Prof Kealing's triumph will contribute much to our good name among the children of men. On Sunday evening Quinn Chapel held a special peace meeting, as did nearly all of the prominent churches of the city. Mr Walter Farmer and other prominent speakers were on the program. There was also an interesting peace meeting held in the afternoon at the Frederick Douglass Center, at which time Prof H T Kealing, Mrs Cea Parker Woolley and Prof R T Greener spoke interestingly on the subject of universal peace among the nations. The annual charity ball, for the benefit of Provident Hospital, was given at the First Regiment Armory recently under the leadership and management of such enterprise young men as Dr Daily W H Davis, Noah Thompson Julius Avendorf Theodore Jones and other well-known society leaders. It was a notable social event and a considerable sum was realized for this worthy and popular charity. A large number of Chicago's best citizens crowded Institutional Church last Sunday evening to hear Miss Hallie Q Brown of Wilberforce deliver her stirring address on the subject "Our Women." POLITICAL LEAGUE MEETING To Be Held in Columbus, O. May 20 and 27 Courtims, O. May 10 - The officers of the National Negro American Political League have issued a call for the second annual meeting to be held in Columbus on May 26 and 27. This league was formed in Philadelphia about a year ago as a merger of a number of national State and political universities to form a union of using their ballots to secure race rights rather than in the interest of any political party. The call invites the attendance and participation of all persons of all races who are in sympathy with equal rights and equal opportunities. At the meeting former State Senator Boraker, Governor Iarmon, of Ohio, and other prominent men of both races will speak and Jason Brown, the only surviving son of John Brown, and W. F. S. Cook, the son of John Edwin Cook, one of John Brown's assistants, will be present. This organization is the same that antagonized the election of President Taft and it is said here that, hacked by certain white influences opposed to the President, the purpose is to begin a systematic organizing of the colored vote to swing it to the Democratic Party in Ohio at the next election, and to continue opposition to the President. to Change of An order was made commissary depart- sylvania Railroad Co. in Jersey City, and effect Monday more railroad took from it the Pullman Compa- dining cars which ha- don the Pennsylvania of the Pullman people Three crews were affected by the waiters have been the Pullman Company With a Negro new owner of the handset sold by their mother in Brighton avenues, in fashionable residential Orange, N J, Floyd, Soverel have refused, purchaser take possession that their mother M Soverel, was trick tate dealer, and had the sale was to be The rightful owner mon P Wood, who is the Foreign Board or formerly pastor of a Orange He attended erals day, ago, and that the significance or known to Mrs. Sovere ernoon, Mrs. Sovere the house, and now the fought out in the co As Rev. Hood has property, there is no need from ultimately taking Negroes. In reviewing the case Gove, Smith declared that the punishment was totally inadequate to the offense, and that to let it stand would be a "travesty on justice." Keller and Sipple were supposed to be the leaders among a number of members of troop A, First squadron of cavalry, who engaged in firing blank cartridges from their guns while returning to Savannah from the encampment at Chickamauga park. The tiring took place at several points between Atlanta and Macon, on the Southern railway, and a Negro track band was wounded in the arm by one of the shots. Gov Smith in his order, drawn in military form, approves the proceedings of the court and the finding as to the first specification and charge, to the fact that the men did the shooting. The balance of the court's finding disappposes in toto, because the insiders, in view of the gravity of the offense, that the punishment amounts to no more than a farce. Gov Smith's order is as follows: Executive Office, Atlanta, Ga. May 5 1909 The proceedings in the foregoing cases of Musician Keller and Private J Ward Sipple, of troop A, First squadron of cavalry, national guard of Georgia, are approved After careful consideration of the evidence in each case, it is the opinion of the reviewing authority that the sentence awarded for the offense of which the accused were found guilty, and also allowing for any implied sanction through failure of officers sooner to interfere, is considered to be so significant in comparison with the punishment provided by the penal code of Georgia for similar civil offense as to make it a mere travesty on justice if approved. In view of the foregoing the reviewing authority feels constrained to disapprove all of the findings except as to the first specification and the charge, which latter are approved and to disapprove of the sentence as wholly inadequate to the maintenance of discipline. Musician Keller and Private Sipple will therefore, be at once release from arrest and restored to duty. Holds Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Continues O), May 10—His education completed for the time being. Gilbert Jones, aged 28, the son of the Rev Joshua H. Jones, head of the Wither force University, has returned to his home in Xenna from Germany He holds a doctor's degree in philosophy. Mr Jones stopped in Columbus, his old home, on his way to Xenia. His father was once a member of the Board of Education of Columbus. Gilbert was graduated from Central High School and took three years at O. S. U. Then he graduated at Wilberforce, took bachelor and master's degrees at Dickerson University, Pa., became the head of the department of literature at Langston University, Oklahoma, and on a leave of absence went to Germany, where he studied at Goqttingen and Jena, taking his final degree last February.

Although the resolution was passed in the Senate April 30 by a vote of 20 to 10, the bill came up in the House of Representatives last Saturday for consideration and was killed. The resolution which passed the Senate last week but was killed by the House contains the following clause: "Every white male person of the age of 21 years and upward who shall at the time of registration be a citizen of the United States, etc., shall be deemed a qualified elector at all elections under this Constitution" The following resolutions were adopted last week by the Negro citizens of Jacksonville, Fla., and presented to the speaker and members of the House of Representatives: To the Honorable Speaker, I L. Farris, and the House of Representatives of the Legislature of Florida, in session at Tallahassee, Fla. Gentlemen. We, your humble petitioners, of Florida, beg leave to submit for your consideration this memorial, setting forth our reasons why the Beard senate bill, commonly known as the disfranchisement bill, should not pass your honorable body. First—The cause of right and justice will not be served in its enactment Second—The people of this great State, all the people, without any regard to race or nationality, will not be the gainers in any capacity by its passage and enactment. It cannot be said that this bill is needed to assure white supremacy, because it is a fact that you have that in its fullest meaning; neither can we再 truthfully say that the colored men of Florida are either offensive or arrogant in the political affairs of this State, nor any part thereof, regardless of the fact that under a republican form of government every man has an inherent right to aspire to public office and public trust. Would Destroy Houses. Third—The enactment of such a law would only serve to destroy the lives of an humble, patient, peace-loving people and to stultify their progress at a time when they most need consideration and help. Permit us, gentlemen, to draw your attention to the relative position of our race in comparison with other nationalities and as being at home in Florida, as we know no other home. Every dollar of the thousands that colored men and women earn goes at once back into the channels of trade and helps in proportion to swell and increase the commercial and material greatness of this commonwealth. Can such be said of all the other races and nationalities who live in Florida? The passage of such a law that seeks to take away the last vestige of citizenship cannot be but viewed with serious alarm on our part and even now, realizing our utter helplessness, we come before you, no demanding, not pro-visioning, not asking your calm consideration of this matter. We adhere your greatness, and in like manner we crave your goodness. We wouldain believe that the white men of this State with all the machinery of the law, all the departments of justice, all the vested rights and privileges in their grasp, and absolute control, without a cloud on their onward march of progress and achievements, can justly afford to deal justly and rightfully with us without injury to themselves or their posterity. Further, gentlemen, we as a race have recently barely grazed on the population of this great State, have never made any demands of any nature before your honorable body for anything. We have trusted everything to your goodness of heart and your generosity for the reason that we have been taught to believe that the blue blooded Southern white man has a little thing. We appreciate all that you have done for us and daily we are straining to lift ourselves up to that degree of usefulness as a people such as will reflect credit on and rebound to the glory and worth of this entire Southland. And now in conclusion, in order not to take up too much of your valuable time, we have been brief and modest in presenting this matter of so much vital importance to all the colored people of this State, whose opinions and feelings we honestly believe we love and lastly we pray that you may calmly and dispassionately consider our above reasons why the before mentioned Beard bill should not pass your honourable off duty and treating a law. We are faithfully yours, George E. Ross, chairman. John H. Johnson, secretary. C. C Manigault, Rev William Netham, D. D. Powell, A C Matthews, John H Dickerson, J A Hayes, David Rice, committee. EDUCATIONAL OUTLOOK Demands Investigation of Washington Public Schools in Long Article. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. WASHINGTON, D C., May 12—In a long article the Educational Outlook for May demands an investigation of the conditions existing in the public schools of Washington The article. Rumors, charges and counter-charges in reference to the administration and morale of the schools of Washington, D C., still fill the air as they have done for several years past. One hears constantly such questions as these and would be glad to get satisfactory answers to them. Why can there not be a full, impartial and searching investigation of the Washington school administration and all things connected therewith, undertaken at the behest of the President of the United States, who is, in a sense, the Mayor of Washington? Why was not such an inquiry undertaken by President Roosevelt, to whose attention, it is said, the charges that are so freely made, were brought by responsible residents of Washington. What, for instance, are the real facts concerning the recent death of a teacher in one of the best schools of Washington in connection with which the grand jury has found three indictments? Can it be true that there is any relationship between any one of the persons indicted and a powerful organ of opinion in Washington? Is it true that one high school boy murdered another recently in a Washington high school? Is it a fact that the chief of police of the District of Columbia has offered a reward of only $50 for a man who has been indicted for manslaughter by the grand jury, when the two other persons indicted with him are under bail for $5,000 each, and that the oger of so insignificant a reward is influenced by the fact that the man wanted has pretty important personal and political connections? Is there not some one in Congress independent of the Washington newspapers, and of Washington local opinion and influences who can manage to raise these questions in a way that will compel an inquiry that will go to the very bottom of things? Pretty ugly stories are in circulation about conditions in Washington and they should either be set at rest by authoritative denial and refutation, or else some one, or several some ones, should be punished pretty severely. Very many persons in this country think that it is high time for the bright light of publicity to be thrown on the Washington school situation in all its ramifications, journalistic, congressional and other. Governor Shows Government TALLAHASSEE, FLA., May 11. One day last week Gov. Gilchrist received telegrams from two citizens of Columbia County advising him that registered Negroes were being prevented from voting in a local election being held in that county through threats of violence. Gov. Gilchrist wired Sheriff Vance, of Columbia County, as follows: "Advised mob, by threats, refused permit qualified Negroes poll their votes in election. All qualified electors are entitled to vote. Protect them in their rights, whether white or black." JACK WATTS "IN BAD" Police Officer in Washington Will Probably Lose Star. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 10—Policeman "Jack," Watts, who brutally beat a drunken woman and unwarrantedly interfered with the personal liberty of Mr. Robert Pelham, the census office clerk, recently was before the District of Columbia Police Trial Board last week to answer charges made against him by Captain Doyle, his superior precinct officer. The charge grew out of his not reporting "The incidents" surrounding the arrest of the woman. No record of the scalp wound he gave her or her trip in the patrol wagon to the hospital, being of record in the station, when Superintendent Sylvester began his investigation of the affair Sunday evening, April 18, at the instance of Mr Pelham's friends. Watts is also being court married on charges brought by headquarters of others for his interference with Mr Pelham, Prof W H H Hart, of Howard University, being interested in the cause volunteered and is looking after Mr Pelham's interest before the Trial Board. Educational Meeting in Jerney City. An educational meeting in the interest of Lincoln University and in honor of its president was held in the Lafayette Presbyterian Church, Summit avenue near Grand street, Monday evening, May 3.

GOVERNMENT Can Secure Aid of Other Powers and Bring into Service its Negro Citizens By Liberians that Great Britain has, Scheme on Poet to Gain a Commercial Foothold Several Displays. MONROVIA, LIBERIA, April 2.—Nothing out here rouses keener interest than the question of Liberna's relation to the Great Powers. "What nation is our friend?" To whom can we go for aid?" are some of the questions which one continually hears in this country. Any fertile country, with a tottering government and a dearth of education and of strong leaders, is regarded either as an object of succor or as a prize. The nations who have looked upon Liberia with any considerable interest are the United States, Germany and Great Britain. The United States has by far the least commercial interest in the republic. Its concern is very largely that of the parent for the child. Having planted the colony years ago, Uncle Sam is very anxious, through his representatives, to see it flourish. The Colonization Society in New York and various societies in Boston are very directly connected with Liberia, and especially with the college and the property of the society at Mt. Coffee Germany is also spoken of here in diplomatic circles as a genuine friend of Liberia. None of those in high places will tell you anything definite as to the Emperor's attitude but they look at you knowingly, shrug their shoulders, saying, "We feel sure of the good will of the German Government. We are very certain that Germany will co-operate with the United States in any good plan to guard the integrity of our little republic." And so it has two important powers are with distinct forms and Liberian Government. Distrust Great Britain. On the other hand, while all Liberian place explicit confidence in these two powers, a large majority regard Great Britain as an arch-energy of the republic. They interpret every move made by Englishmen, whether as government officials or as members of private concerns, as attempts to grab their land. This is the feeling that seems to have been at the bottom of the trouble between Liberia and the British-Liberian Development Company, which was under the direction of the celebrated lecturer and traveler, Sir Harry Johnston. President Barley had made certain concessions to Sir Harry, allowing him to establish companies to develop the natural resources of Liberia and to charter a British bank. But many of the Liberians, fearing that this was the point of the British Imperial wedge, which already had been driven in too far, insisted upon President Barley's revoking these concessions. And it may be said in passing that President Barley's endeavor to abide by these concessions added much to the suspicion that he was pro-British—but this suspicion so far seems groundless. This apparent scheme of the British to gain a commercial foothold here seems to have been but one of the many methods practiced to place a sure hand on the Liberian territory. In January, 1908, the British Government made, through its consul, demands upon Liberia for certain reforms. Shortly after this the Liberian delegation started for America. As soon as the purpose of their journey to the United States was noised abroad, the English here circulated the story that the government at Washington advised Liberia to submit to British demands, and that Booker T. Washington, who, by the way, is as popular here in Monrovia as he is in any cities in America, joined in this advice. As the delegation declares that no such advice was given, the Liberians once more considered this a truck of the British to overthrow their republic and annex it to Sierra Leone. Establishment of Frontier Force. But the height of British affrontery was yet to come. Among the reforms from 1908 was that for establishing a frontier force under "European officers." To this demand the Liberian Government already cultured for being backward, immediately complied. They began to muster forces at a heavy cost, and borrowed Maj. Cadwell from the British service to drill them. It was understood, of course, that the soldiers would all be Liberians, and that only officers would be Europeans. Imagine the surprise of the Liberians when they learned that the forces were being recruited from Sierra Leone, the neighboring British colony. At this the Liberians became suspicious and drew up a bill to reorganize the forces under Liberian officials. This at once laid bare what the Liberians regarded as a plot. In January of this year Maj. Cadwell, under orders from the British consul at Monrovia, sent from the camp without any reference to the Li- (Continued on Page 4) Honorary Member (University) The Idea of Giving Suffrage to Male-State of District of California Regular Correspondence to THE AGE WASHINGTON, D. C. May 12—Protestant Taft has relied the hearts of many of the Negro citizens at the capital by his utter disapproval at a recent ban- quet of mugraffa for the district. These citizens could see nothing good for them or for the district with a strong Negro element at the polls—so they rejoice. Two rival booms between Washington and New York have appeared this week. While the Gothicists are boming Theo- dore Roosevelt for their mayor, some of the citizens of Washington are seriously suggesting that Mr. Roosevelt be per- suaded to accept a nomination from Presi- dent Taft as Commissioner of the Disti- tion of Columbia. Mr. Taft has advocated indirectly the policy of one-man rule for the government at the capital, as THE AGE forecasted that he would last week. Cuder such a condition the district might be well calculated to be a vertiable playground in which Mr Roosevelt might hunt big game and bag a lot of it. Among those on the platform last Sunday at the Belasco Theatre during the address of Rooker T Washington were Hon. P. B. S. Pinchback, Register W T Vernon, Auditor Ralph Tyler, Judge R H. Terrell, R. H. Rorner, Recorder John C. Dancy, J. A. Cobb, Hon Miffin W Gibbs, C. F. Adams, Prof Kelly Miller, Bruce Evans, W. Sldney Pittman Dr John R. Francis, Dr. C. Guilas, Dr J. Court, Dr J.

A committee of Negro citizens of the District of Columbia, with George C. Scutlock as chairman, held patriotic ceremonies at Grand Army Hall Friday evening in honor of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of John Brown The natal day was fittingly celebrated in eulogy, song and story. A large portrait of John Brown hung on the wall beside the portraits of other anti-slavery leaders. Col Perry H Carson and others spoke. The new Lunetta Mott building will be dedicated on Manday afternoon, May 17, at 1:30 o'clock. The principal address is to be made by Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, who has recently returned to Washington after giving lectures for several weeks.

May 11—Mia Fannie Donaldson, a white lady of distinguished lineage, and favorably known throughout the city for her kind and generous heart, practically indicated in gifts to charitable institutions, departed this life last week. There is something in the life of this good woman of peculiar interest to Afro-Americans. The deceased was nearly 80 years of age, and, although there were no other members of her family, for any number A woman in her mid-40s, with a large amount of money, was at a local wagon. Her magnificent home was practically an institution for "aged and infirm colored people." By her will she leaves annuities to them all, ranging from $180 per annum to $300 per annum. But Mrs. Carrie Penniston, who had been her male over since she was a very small child, also sells Shaw gift annuity of $1,200 and a gift of $5,000 with which to purchase a home. All Saints' Sisters (white) were left $30,000, with the request that $25,000 of that amount be appropriated for the uses of its Colored Orphan Aylum. Her estate amounted to about a million dollars, the major portion going to various institutions of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Mr. E.

Mr Taylor is a very enterprising young man, and wide awake to the increasing necessities of the times. Among the more than two hundred persons who recently appeared before the State Board of Electricians, and who proved to be of "the elect," successfully passing the board, was a bright Afro-American lad, Master Charles W Vodery, Jr, eighteen years of age, of one of our prominent colored families. Although so young, Mr Vodery is now a full-fledged electrician, holding his diploma with his photograph upon it.

The regularly recurring Negro-disfranchisement bill in the Florida Legislature was passed by that State's Senate and voted down by its Legislature last week. Because of eleven absentees at the first vote, this, the boldest and baldest measure to eliminate the Negro, we have seen, will be reconsidered. But as before the progressive elements of the State, the prohibitionists and those who recognized the utter unconstitutionality of the measure will doubtless again prevail. The Beard resolution as it is called provided that every white person a citizen at the time of registration would be a qualified voter. This was literally class legislation and not even a Florida Court could for an instant enforce or refuse to nullify it. The one noteworthy thing in connection with the attempt, however, was the demogic plea and approval for the bill given by Senator Money of Mississippi. The present leader of the reactionary attack upon the War Amendments, in the course of his plea for "white supremacy" made his wishes the selfish father of his thoughts. He said there is a profound revolution going on in the minds of Northern people in favor of their repeal. What is more discouraging still, he urged the South to continue its agitation, for "to remain without agitation means stagnation." Tis not the Negro nor the poor white, undisturbed and unorganized, that curses the Southland to-day. For both left to themselves and the increasing efforts put forward in their behalf, will in the course of time arrive. But it is just such arch enemies of peace and progress as Senator Money that are the evil geniuses of the slave States. riveting around the necks of their miserable populace the chains of prejudice, ignorance and consequent poverty Senator Money may urge his degraded poor white followers to continue agitation, but therein he is trying their mindfast to their own lamentable depravity. He may urge them to perpetual hostility to the Negro, but he is putting eternal rancors in the vessels of their own peace POLITICS IN THIS COUNTY. There is a disposition in New York County on the part of a few leaders to circumvent the influence of the recognized leader of Negro Republicans. For example not long since, a Negro not a member of the Negro organization was indorsed without success by some of these white leaders for consideration. This was done without the knowledge or the recognition of the Negro organization which alone is responsible for the strength and service of the county Negro vote. To this Negro Republicans strenuously and rightly object When political work is to be done, these leaders invariably look to the Negro organization. They search out and confer with the Negro leader and with him they make their plans. Through his organization, perfected in every district, the vote is solidified, the task is accomplished. When this task has been accomplished and the rewards are to be made, this organization also expects to be consulted. Not only should no man be appointed, but no man should be endorsed without the endorsement of the Negro Republican leader. THE STEP IN ADVANCE The present attack upon the problem of rural education in the South is not only almost hopeless in the partial and slow results achieved, but quite comfortless in the haphazard method of the attack. Its task and lowest nation depends yearly tens of millions of dollars keeping ready by land and sea for foreign foes whom it does not expect, and yet stands helplessly by, half-pityingly, half-interestedly, allowing millions of its black and white children in the South to grow up in an ignorance and degradation more disastrous than foreign foes. Our government has found no way to fight these foes within, yet it may spend fabulous sums in a vain and endless display of war strength. Not only this, but the present feeble aims coming from all sources are expended through a thousand agencies, under no common and approved plan for meeting conditions. The results under the present various agencies, whether satisfactory or unsatisfactory, are largely a matter of conjecture. Accordingly, it has been urgently proposed of late that a central board for super- vising rural industrial schools in the South should be established. The advantages of this would be, it is said, that courses of study could be systematized, financial obligations would be looked into, impostors could be ferreted out, and extravagance could be curtailed. There are other advantages equally important. The energy, which our brightest Southern minds now dissipate in a discouraging competition for Northern philanthropy, could be relieved and turned into direct channels of uplift. As a clearing house of information and financial appeal, this more economic board would command a heartier public confidence. It would doubtless secure a larger philanthropy and State appropriation. This board would prevent overlapping and waste, as is exemplified by the five higher institutions for Negroes in Atlanta. The need of this board is real and urgent. As the next step in advance, we believe, Negro educators should favor its establishment THE RISE OF WILBERFORCE. THE RISE OF WILBERFORCE. Since the few months of the presidency of Prof W S Scarborough, Wilberforce has taken on a new lease of vigorous life. With her membership rolls already filled, the outlook for next year, we are reliably informed, us that this splendid Negro institution of Ohio will be quite unable to accommodate those applying for admission. The course of study is being strengthened and broadened and is ever long, its classic exclusiveness will give away to a more practical and vital training. All this is the more remarkable coming as it does at the hands of that eminent and erudite scholar Prof Scarborough Abandoning for the time the closet of his study, the new president is out on the hustings, raising money for new buildings, of which a $35,000 dormitory will be opened with the Lall term. We are hopeful of a bright future for Wilberforce. MEANING OF EDUCATION: "Races very often make the same mistake that individuals make. I mean the mistake of centering their thoughts and activities upon their grievances and disadvantages to such an extent that they overlook the opportunities and advantages which are right about them while the Negro as a race has disadvantages, he also has tremendous opportunities and the great opportunity to secure the fundamental things of life are not a thousand miles away from him but right about his very door in every one of the Southern states. The time has come when people are beginning to expect to see and feel the results of Negro education in the ordinary affairs of life." In these two sentences of his notable address last week before the graduating class of Hampton, Dr. Booker T. Washington touched upon the two points for the young Negro. The educated Negro spends a disproportionate and incalculable energy in kicking against his disadvantages. It is his ideal, in too large a measure on getting out into life to win his way to privilege of fame by fighting against the restraints upon his race. The hold at really overcrowded with problem solvers consuming thus his sleepless nights and weary days, he fails to grasp the tremendous individual opportunities everywhere about him. He deigns to do the present work, which his hands bud to do and thus insure his gradual rise in wealth and influence. He builds no foundation for his castle. His dream never comes true. Secondly we believe it is a fact also, that far too many Negroes have the wrong conception of education Education means simply increased power to do the things at hand Education should not so much develop the fancy as to develop the art of common sense It should not fit its possessor to play with the creatures of his brain so much as it should make the brain handle the powers of industry and of progress The time and energy which too many of our graduates employ in doting on youthful pastimes, athletic and scholastic achievement, should be employed in actually surmounting the barriers which separate them from other successful men Education is not an aesthetic but a very practical thing. Let the educated Negro abode all set the example of getting to work! ```markdown ``` The minutes of the last meeting of the League are now printed in being circulated. They present a creditable appearance and show the far-reaching effect of the National League, which meets in Louisville again next August. What has ever become of the Horizon of the Niagara movement? We'll take it all back, for we said when the movement lost out on its first publication "The Moon," and started the second "Although the Moon went down, the Horizon will never go down" Kelley Miller in the April Atlantic learnedly discusses the "Ultimate Race Problem," and prophecies that the red and brown races will pass away but that the white, black and yellow races will survive. Your prophecy is safe, professor, for by that time who of us will be left here to tell the story? MORALS OF THE MINISTER Allowing for all the blackmail of scandal-mongers, we now feel it necessary to call the attention of our people to the morals of the Negro minister. In no mincing words, let us call a halt. Let us urge upon you the necessity of more rigid exactions upon your pastor. The stench of the charges of sexual corruption; drunkenness and dishonesty, now rising in every quarter, is too nauseating for the stomach of decent men and women. It is driving enlightened and upright Negroes into Godlessness and churchlessness and white congregations. It is furnishing high example and encouragement for corruption to the unthinking masses. It is driving Negro churches into disastrous divisions and even more disgraceful court fights. It is fomenting the spirit of division and disunion in the race. It is making of the high calling of the preacher of righteousness a cloak of corruption and a hollow mockery. In short, the immorality of a large part of the Negro minister is putting in dire peril the progress of the Negro race First of all, every Negro minister should be married. He will thus avoid the ever-ready blackmailer and the more aggressive tempter. That young divine who feels he must indefinitely postpone matrimony would do the manly thing if he should follow the example of our brilliant young New England friend, who has gone into business awaiting the day of sufficient wealth to get married and enter his profession. But far too many of our preachers are neither saints nor students. They have not been called by those high qualities of soul to the service of mankind after the example of the lowly Nazarene Nor are they devoted to the study of the Divine Word. They are consecrated to the simple life—but to the simple life of self-indulgence In conclusion, let us say no man, however eloquent and sanctimonious if loose and hostful, should be permitted to desecrate the sacred position of a preacher. No man, however brilliant, if a drunkard, should be tolerated in a pulpit. No man, however shrewd and successful in a rally, if a thief should be supported for one minute by sensible people. It were better for the race to go on preserved as it has been, in ignorant and emotional worship, than that these wolves in sheep clothing should be permitted to bring sorrow and shame upon it EDITORIAL.

Of the $4000 realized upon the small check which President Laft sent to the Shiloh Negro orphanage of Augusta Ga. to help it out of its financial straits, $750 was given, it has just come out, by John D.

SOUTH'S MIND AT FAULT. Florida Daily Describes Her Half-Linked Doctrines and General Sluggliness. To point the moral for the adornment of this short and simple tale it is only necessary that we look about us and listen to the voices with which the South is just now articulate. We see a people floundering in the slough of false doctrine—we see a South that is gradually leaning further and further toward the fallacies against which her best men have always protested, and to avoid which she stood alone that she might keep herself clean. We see leaders deliberately deserting the political principles of their fathers, and openly plaining that the people demand this of them—under such circumstances Henry Clay chose to be right rather than be president, and Lamar appealed to the people against the instructions they had sent him. Have we no leaders of public opinion now, and must all of us obey? Half-baked doctrines appeal only to raw consciences and ignorant heads. If we must drive our leading men instead of being led, then we must teach the majority that they may discriminate between the true and the false. How? The Columbia State puts its finger on the found of the trouble in every portion of the South, in saying "And so the theory of getting a well-organized school system, with well-paid teachers, long terms, competent supervise, and a well-managed doomed to continue an unrealized theory so long as present school facilities are not utilized by the children. As Mr Quinby pointedly illustrates, our school system is an admitted failure at many levels, and the tens of thousands of children pass by the school houses on the other side of the road. That is the chief, the fundamental failure, and if the system should be maintained every other regard, that deficiency would still make its failure monumental." Outsiders would help us by prescribing the remedy Booker T. Washington has found for his race, but that will not sufficiently the Massachusetts theory, and we see the effect. Further work along this line may be better than inactivity, but it will not, give us what we must have, the residence of the mind of the people. In all discrimination, we have placed the material South on a safe plane, only to find that all we have gained is threaten by the incapacity of the new generation, to govern the interests they have erred to the wrong ones on the one hand to careful thought, and demands the right statesmanship of an older day but the sole adequate provision for the future must be found in the better thought of those to follow us. A few leaders can help us to achieve that the electorate must be made to think. The Jacksonville (Fla.) Daily Union 'It Is Not Always May.

But the Negro as a race stands unimpaired in the race when considered as a laborer. In proportion together as a race, just in that proportion shall we stand or fall. The Chris Tran Herald That the Negro with a few exceptions is an enemy to his race and welfare is clearly evidenced in the fact that he refuses to pay for his newspapers, mobbeds etc. at his should. It seems that he does not suffer for that, but rather for papers that depend damn than to buy them that stand for his best interests.

For if there is any one thing that has retarded our progress in the past, and has caused so many young men and women to remain idle, with nothing to do with it, we have lost the thing—lack of organization, lack of concentration of our resources. Another thing closely allied with this, is that we have not learned to patronize one another; we have not learned to patronize Negro business as we should. It is true that we have learned to patronize them in this section, but we have scarcely learned our A B as yet in that respect. Just at this period in the progress of the race the laity, idle vagrant element among us should be discouraged. Every member of the race should be taught to secure and hold a job, and earn his bread in the sweet of his face. When poor people refuse to work, it is evident that they will soon begin to steal. The ratio of criminal statistics is already large enough; and the industrious portion of the race should see to it that it is not made larger.

The Birmingham Age Reporter The colored population of this city is perhaps far in advance of the average on current issues and literary attainments. It is due, perhaps, to the very rare opportunity for the library access to the best appointed public libraries, the inducements offered them to read the two great daily papers of this city. The space allowed for the colored people, and ally edited by two of our best prepared men, renders untold benefit to our people.

If the State expects to get better qualified teachers for Negro public schools, it should provide for a normal training for Negro teachers. If a normal school is indispensable for white students, it is indispensable for Negro teachers because these teachers have superior advantages. The Christian Index. That the present Republican Regime of Solomon County has received a severe spanking and permaim during the past week was very much evidenced on last Saturday at a call meeting of the Central Committee at the Circuit Court.

These plans were completely frustrated upon receipt of a message from the Postmaster General through State Chairman Tucker that Col Brizolaer was out which does not expire until April, 1910.

The corps of teachers in the public and private Washington are as a whole an honor to the thousands of their high character and decoration. 2. The personnel of the present Board of Education worthily represents the worthiest interests of this city. 3. The appointment of three colored citizens to the Board gives due proportionate representation to the colored composition of the representation being of absolutely vital importance. 4. The public schools of Washington have attained a higher level of actual efficiency than hitherto largely because this Board of Education has consistently maintained the policy of seeking to employ experts for the various executive services, of holding the experts severally accountable for the conduct of their department, and of granting such an authority commensurate with his responsibility. 5. Never before in the history of these schools has the merit system been more rigorously applied. A member of the Legislature presides an amendment to the appropriation to strike out the entire appropriation in the Prairie View Normal School. In support of his amendment, he declared that the cotton field is the proper place for the Negro, and he quoted from the author of "The Clansman" as a argument of the Negro in Africa for its savagery and want of progress. Promptly and emphatically the amendment was disapproved by a vavaee who as it should have been. For the Negro in Africa the people of Texas have no concern. For the Negro who is a part of the citizenship of Texas they have the same concern as for the white citizen. The Negro in Africa may be and always have been, and always to be a semi-savage. The Negro in America is an American citizen, with the same rights, the same aspirations, and entitled to the same consideration as the white citizen. In the days which tried more souls the Negro slave in the South remained on the plantation and helped to feed and clothes and protect the women and children while his master was far away fighting the battles of his country. Never was greater loyalty displayed than by those good old Negro maumens and their progeny in the darkest days through which this country has gone. There were bad Negroes, then, of course, but there were also bad white men, more of the latter, perhaps, than of the former, but there is not on record a case of bad behavior on the part of a Negro shave toward the white women of the South at a time when their natural protectors were away from home in the service of their country. The bad Negro, who has been the cause of so many outrages and so many lynchings, is a development of a life of degenrated idea of freedom and civil rights instilled into him by political adventurers, fanatics and marigolds. The Negro's place is in the court field, of course, but so, also, is his plan in other fields, in the workshops, in other institutions that may assign an invite him, and in any place of intelligence by the education ever limited, which he is able to seize. To elevate the Negro in the scale of being is to make him a better and more citizen of the state, and the white property tax is raised. He is fitted to taxation for Negro schools, only for the Negro's sake, but for the own, because they realize that the Negro advancement is so, the government.

DESTINY OF LIBERIA berian Government which was employing him, all of the arms that Liberal Lad obtained from the Lutheran Government. These arms had been purchased on credit, the bill for them was at that time before the Liberian Legislature. The Liberians, not wishing to commit any act that would place them in a disadvantageous light before the United States Government, allowed the arms to be put on board a British man-of-war, which was in the harbor of Monrovia. All this time Maj. Ladwere had refused to hand over the forces in Liberian officials as ordered. On February 11, 1909, he addressed a letter to the President stating that all the soldiers, except the detainment free Sierre Leone were in the act of laying their grievance before the Legislature and of committing violence toward the President, declaring in conclusion that duty to his men made it impossible for him to restrain them further. Upon receiving this letter the government, now highly ingent, owe more ordered Maj Cadwell to surreder the command to Liberian officials at once Maj Cadwell replied by preparing to resist, putting his two hundred and fifty men from Sierra Leone in position to fight. The Liberian militia now came to the front and an engagement was imminent. But there were British in camp. To fire on them was to walk a diplomatic entanglement with the British Government, therefore the position of a quarrel with the Liberian nothed the British consul at Montona to have Maj Cadwell and all British subjects removed at once, or the Liberian Government would not be responsible for what happened. The consul seemed well informed of the whole matter. In fact it is said that the gun boat then standing in the harbor had been ordered there by his three days before, and that he was the only consul who seemed to have no liking of any disturbance. However, he ordered Maj. Caldwell to leave camp and trouble was thereby avoided. But the consul's apparent knowledge of the whole affair led the Liberians more to put down the action of Maj. Caldwell as soon as it had been ordered that he were unable to put it down so far in and get her hands on the republic. It should be added here that man- Engh-hmen declare that they are mis- understood, and that they have no nu- tion of trying to gain possession of Liberia. And yet it is hard to unleas- some of their actions if their saying be true. One thing is perfectly clear. If there is a future for Liberia out- of what may be done by its own pe- ple, that future is in the hands of United States. The United States do not only secure the co operation of powers without suspicion, but it can bring into service many of its seni- Negro citizens who can be highly re- sirable in establishing this struggle republic on a solid foundation.

The Negro does not beg for his personal assistance as a rule. The only call that he has to make is for education for moral and religious training.

Regular Correspondence to The Age Pittsburgh, Pa., May 10. There is much talk here about the alleged attempts of one of our young women to deny her race identity in order to hold a position in the musical department in a down town ten cent store. The young woman in question is highly educated and has church circles, and it seems that because she does not stop playing the piano to engage in conversation with acquaintances who frequently go to the store, some are accusing her of passing. The young woman regard her as one of the city's race-lowing girls. While she could easily pass for white, and while she does not carry a plaid around market, I am a Negro," she has never been known to deny her identity. When attending a musical conservatory in a distant city, she had occasion to let her identity be known, which she did without the least hesitation. On her own home she is a member of the school which she is said to have lost through her voluntary acknowledgment that she was a member of the Negro race. Mention of these incidents as made public by the official of the young woman as it is to show how prove some of our people are to make false charges. aging social clubs during business hours. The last rumor circulated was that the managers of the store had been informed that he had a Negro girl working in his store. No action has as yet been taken, and the store is surrounded by a crowd seemingly larger than ever before the girl was singing and playing the piano, as she has often done in some of the leading churches of the city.

Many useful articles and a handsome purse were presented to him. The Cambridge Lyceum was highly esteemed last Wednesday evening by Mr. J. Bryant and the campus judge, "What I Think Most Beneficial for the Colored People." The paper was a good one, but in the wrong place. He advised those who had at least three thousand dollars to buy up stocks and shares in the Ramsey Ransel and N. M. president of the Cambridge Men's Forum. Mr. Lawrence L. Whale, the young real estate dealer of North Cambridge, was the speaker at the Cambridge forum. The Sunday p. m. subject was the "Young Men's Part in the Solution of Our Race's Perplexities." He said in part that not every colored man can become a banker or a capitalist or a broker, but he can have self-respect and a home. To say that certain parts of this discourse caused a heated discussion is putting it in mild form, for it certainly did cause an awakening from the restless ones.

NEW YORK Prescriptions Are My Specialty A Full Line of Brands, Chocolate and Fruit Prescriptions of Popular Prices. W. E. PAYNE pharmaceuticals Music and the Stage LETTER A WALTON LESTER A. WALTON CONSPIRACY OF THE WHITE PRESS DURING these days of reform movements, when the daily papers are DURING these days of reform movements, when the daily papers are clamoring against the existence of trusts and illegal combinations, uttering bitter denunciation after denunciation, and demanding a square deal for it will doubtless be a surprise to many of the reader of *This Act* to know that some of these papers so busily engaged in vigorously opposing monopolies belong to a newspaper trust, and, moreover, are subsidized to some extent, regardless of their "fearless" championing of the cause of the "under dog." In their bitter tirade against trust evils and the sort, one has only to take notice of what some of these "trust-breaking" papers are doing to show the inconsistency of their policies. It is merely a case of the pot calling the kettle black. The shameful manner in which this New York newspaper combination operates was clearly shown last week when "The Red Moon" Company opened at the Majestic Theatre, a Shubert house. Many of the white critics were inclined to be fair and speak highly of the production. However, it has been brought to light that an agreement was entered into by some writers not to give "The Red Moon" the publicity which is meritoriously deserves There is at the head of the Shubert Publicity Department one by the name of A. Toxen Worm, who occupies a Cear-like position of that domain Only through him are the various papers allowed to make mention of the shows playing at the Shubert houses. In other words, A Toxen Worm is the "IT" in capital letters and underscored, of the publicity department of the Shubert office, and it requires a nod from his classic head to get in any press notices so far as attractions playing at the Shubert houses are concerned. Degree of the "Bach-Bah" From an authentic source THE AGE learns that A. Toxen Worm, "Pooh-Bah" of the Shubert Publicity Department, attended a performance of "The Red Moon," and while it is none of his business as to what his personal opinion is of a show, he reached the conclusion that he did not fancy the production, as it (to be perfectly frank) did not contain enough "niggersm" to suit his fancy. He had a consultation with several of the white critics who agreed with him, and it was, therefore agreed to give "The Red Moon" but little publicity, if any at all. The above facts were learned by a representative of "The Red Moon" Company, who, noting the indifference being shown by a Toxen Worm relative to putting press notices in the paper, made a visit to his sanctum sanctorum and inquired, with marked deference why such gross and apparent inactivity? The visitor was informed by his host that he, a Toxen Worm, had seen the production with a number of white critics, and that several of them had agreed with him that "The Red Moon" was a disappointment to them, in that it had not lived up to Negro traditions and did not depict the true Negro; that several of the critics had decided to pay no attention to the show as the authors had strayed too far away from Negro traditions. Among the critics mentioned were Frederic McKay, dramatic editor of the New York Evening Mail, and Ashton Stevens dramatic editor of the New York Evening Journal. Up to this writing these two writers have failed to give a review of the show, although Critic McKay announced in The Mail one evening last week that he would review the show next day. It is very strange that he has not kept his promise. Strange Position Taken by Critics. The action of these critics and the attitude of the press agent of a big theatrical concern prompts the writer to ask this one question—Are the New York dramatic critics usually influenced? We wonder what was the occasion of the New York Times coming out in an article with the following headline: "Red Moon Dull and Unnrestering" although such newspapers as the Telegraph, Press, Herald, Sun, Telegram, Globe and World declared to the contrary. Just how an aggregation of colored comedians, singers and dancers as in "The Red Moon" Company could give a dull show is difficult to imagine and reflects on the ability of the writer in question as a critic. Until the refusal of Frederic McKay and Ashton Stevens to review "The Red Moon" the writer was of the opinion that it was the duty of a critic to point out what was, in his judgment if any, the weak spots of a show, and make suggestions. We did not know that personal feeling should play a strong part in such matters. But the refusal of Critics Stevens and McKay to review "The Red Moon" because they did not think the authors lived up to the traditions of the Negro shows that the critic has a new mission to show his personal likes and dislikes in an unprofessional manner Speaking of Negro traditions we wonder what such men as A Toxen Worm and his friendly critics know about the Negro? We would like to ask them what is their idea of the real Negro and invite them to acquaint us with some Negro traditions. The writer ventures to state that their ideas as the subject would never be labeled foolish and misinterpreting. They would EDITED BY LESTER A. WALTON It gives one an insight on some of our white fellow citizens' intelligence when you hear them air their views on the Negro, although they have never studied the history of the race, nor have many of them talked for any length of time with forty Negroes during their life, except, perhaps, in some lowly capacity. Negroes Have No Traditions. The Negroes of America have no traditions. We live by the white man's traditions. It is true we have mannerisms and characteristics, but we refeyed the old Quaker family of Philadelphia the preacher "Knickerbockers" of New York, and the old families of the South for traditions. Go to Harvard, there is where you will find traditions, but at this time do not associate traditions with the American Negro. On the other hand, do not get Negro folklore confused with traditions. Two things prompted a few of our white critics to yell aloud for Negro traditions—ignorance of the Negro's progress and an unconscious prejudice. They were really vexed because they did not see colored performers with their faces blackened, cake-walking and using language of the antebellum days, entirely foreign to those on the stage, but an acceptance with them, but an accordance with some white men's idea of what the Negro should be. Then, the Negro was also depicting another race—the Indian, which appeared foolish and absurd to them. In reviewing "Bandanna Land" some months ago a writer on the Brooklyn Eagle stated that art knew no color. He was right. The colored actor is at liberty to portray characters other than his race the same as the white actor, so long as he really acts. Last week the writer saw white actors give a highly creditable performance of a Negro tragedy, each part being played by a white actor with face blackened. To be consistent with some of the views of our white critics the piece should have been played by Negroes as the whites were getting out of their line of entertainment. Tactic Agreement of White Press. There is a tacit agreement among the majority of newspapers in New York not to publish the pictures of any colored performer. To see the picture of a colored actor on the dramatic page of a white paper arouses as much excitement as does the appearance of an artist sailing the city in the colorish shipspad linger in New York City yearly for advertising, but without proper consideration. In Alabama, South Carolina and Mississippi you will find the Negro is better treated in the newspapers, even if they do say that the majority of writers on the New York papers are Southerners. It is difficult to believe that the heads of the papers that discriminate against colored performers are aware of the existence of such a state of affairs. Take, for instance, the Mail, a paper read daily by hundreds of Negroes, and a publication whose advice is often heeded when it comes to voting at the primaries. When the readers of The Aca learn that such a highly esteemed paper is discriminating against members of the race possibly they will pause and wonder if advice should be listened to from such quarters. Then there are the Shuberts who organized a company to fight the theatrical syndicate. Surely they are not aware that one of its employees is refusing to take an interest in a production because does not think they come up to the idea of a Negro show. Perhaps the day will come when the Shuberts will have a production in which they would be pleased to cater to the Negro clientele throughout the country and while then the colored theatre-goers will not receive consideration any lower than the first balcony, all the nickels and dimes will help some But the pleasing part about the whole affair is that despite the inclination of some of the critics to "throw cold water" on the production because it did not come up to their idea of Negro traditions, the show is doing a big business, which goes to show that no press agent nor critic in the world can fool the public, neither can they arrest the onward march of civilization, which they are trying to do in this instance, by attempting to make the public believe that the Negro of to-day is the Negro of forty years ago.

LAST Sunday afternoon the Royal Giants celebrated their first appearance at Meyrowne Park, Brooklyn, before 7.000 fans by defeating the Ridgewoods in an exciting game by the score 60-40. In their half of the ninth inning the visitors gave an exhibition of how to play an up-hill game, and in a batting rally scored two runs, thereby taking the lead, which the Ridgewoods were unable to overcome. Manager Connor evidently intends to hustle a significant move when he replaced Monroe at third with Monin. Earl, of the Royal Giants, distinguished himself by making three hits, the first being a home run. The score: ROYAL GIANTS. R. H. O. A. E.

The reception of the Men's Guild of the Epiphany Mission promises to be one of the finest affairs of the season. The exhibition drill by the Ivanehoe Commandery will be the finest military display of the season for some time. The phenomenal demand for boxes far exceed the capacity of the new auditorium.

Second Successful Year of Mississippi Industrial Institute Has Week's Exercises. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. JACKSON, Misa, May 1.—The Prentiss Normal and Industrial Institute closed its second annual session. Its exercises were more than a week's exercise. These exercises were largely attended by white and black. The annual sermon was preached by Rev. R. Q. Bedford, of Beloit, Wis., who proved in his discourse by the Scriptures that it was God's place that every man should own a home—real estate—on the earth as well as a "mansion in the siles." He brought and its garden if we own and beautify our earthly tabernacles. The doctrine of home getting found no opposition, as the Negroes of Jefferson Davis County are, as a rule, landowners. Those who rent caught the force of the great sermon. Rev Bedford remained with us during the week, attending all the exercises and the trustee board of which he is a member meet on a national Day. Work of the various departments, including agriculture, housekeeping, poultry, sheenmaking, sewing, military, cooking and laundering, was on exhibition. The visitors were shown through the industries and were highly pleased with the work done by the students. A splendid program was rendered at 2 p. m. Rev Bedford closed the exercises with an appeal for a greater interest in industrial education. The course was, as often as possible, to do some things as well as know so many things. Thursday was Commencement Day. Hundreds of people came from every section of the country, while many friends from afar were present also. The audience was pleased with her verdure green presented a lovely scene. At 12 o'clock the program began. It consisted of orations by the members of the academic department and choice suite. The commencement address was presented by Lamer, who is president of our board of trustees. His subject was "Freedom." In the discussion of this subject Prof. Laurier well sustained his reputation as a great man. May he be needed for time just what it meant to be free and how freedom is won. During the week there were three excellent concerts. On a whole, the institution is making a gendlid showing. The school was founded in June, 1907, by Mr. J. E. Johnson, an alumnus of Alcom A. and M. College, who had not a dollar nor the promise of one before June, 1907, on which day he got the job, 1908, on which day he purchased $400 and purchased forty acres of land just out of the incorporation of Prentiss, Miss, being less than one-half mile from the depot. Since then 25 acres have been bought. On this property, which is practically all under fence and lawn, the school has a house the boys, a main building and a barn. The main building is a two-story frame structure erected at a cost of $5,000. The upper story is used as a girl's dormitory, and the lower for chapel and recitation purposes. The lower session reached 190, and eight teachers were employed. Each teacher does literary work half the day and gives industrial instruction the other half. They are all college graduates and hold certificates of pro- ficiency in some trade having completed the required courses. The right University and Rust University. The school is located in Southern Mississippi, Jefferson Davis County, in a strictly agricultural district, and among them is the school owned by the ownership of splendid lands, homes, stock and bank accounts. The cashier of the bank here is responsible for the statement that the Negroes have one dollar on deposit at the bank for the purpose of buying land. This showing they have been able to make in spite of their meager school facilities. Until six years ago their schools ran three months a year and the nearest railroad market was thirty-eight miles away. So the school is still Sweetwater, not questioned. Locally the people are liberal in the support of the school and are especially interested in the agricultural feature which is under the direction of Mr. J. Willoughby, who is the principal of Takeney High School, both the academic and agricultural departments. They come to him for information and are adopting scientific methods in the operation of their farms, putting brain them, thus making their living a business, not chance or guesswork. The school receives some constant help from the county and the Anna T Jean's Rural School Fund, but the bulk of expenses must be met with donations by the public, in whose liberality we trust. Produce results, and it is our firm belief the friends of humanity will not let the school among our trustees are: Rev. R. G. Bedford. Beloit. Wis.; Prof. W. H. Lanier. Yazoo City, Miss.; Lawyer P. Howard. Jackson, Miss., and Dr D W. Turner, of Prentice. Two Deaths in Petermann PETERSBUNG, Va. May 3, 1900.—The Crummel Literary Society, of Bishop Payne Divinity School, held its annual entertainment last Friday night at St. Stephen's Church. The numbers, which were of an unusually high order, were gathered by a large and representative audience. We are sorry to note the deaths of Mr. Crawley, of Rome street, and Mr. Whitl Coleman, of West Carter street. Dr. W S Tate, of Burton's drug store, was called to Staunton on account of the death of his father Misses Mary D. Whitl Coleman, of West Carter were pleasing visitors in Richmond lane. Dr. Robt W Brown of Washington, who has been visiting relatives and friends in the State, was the guest last Friday of Miss Frances D Bolting Miss Fannie L Archer, of Richmond, and Mr. Harvey Williams, of Martinsville, were guests of Miss Julia E Archer.

Eik of the World, has had the misfortune of losing a member of members within the last month. Mr D M Goude, a member of the lodge, also foreman and general manager of The Stan, a weekly published here, has been confined to his room for more than 10 years. New York friends will be glad to know that he is rapidly improving. In the last several weeks many strangers have passed through our town from the South, en route to Northern cities, and for what purpose we have yet been unable to find out. Taking everything as we know, the colored people who are in third place included Browns our colored banks are getting along nicely. One of them, the Crown Savings Bank, is now erecting a costly structure in Norfolk. Va. a branch of the one here. That shows progress. Another redeeming feature about our people now is, they have begun to heavily invest in real estate managements in real home. We are handicapped in our city for amusement places, and that idea showing up so prominently has caused the erection of one of the finest moving picture theatres (colored) in the State of Virginia. The theatre is named "The Lawns," managed by the Lawns, property of the "We 'Us' Hotel, a handsome three-story brick structure, with all modern improvements. Since the opening of "The Lyric" crowds have flocked to witness the up-to-date pictures, which was something endearing to the audience, and the order breaker Vaudelle attractions were introduced and standing room was at a premium The Big Comedy Four. consisting of the Orsa and Floyda, were held and the audience was entertained This week Tutt Whitney's Jolly Ethiopians will begin seven evenings of amusement The seating capacity has been greatly enlarged and the theatre now comfortably accommodates over 900 people, stage that will easily take 25 performances.

Special— The work of the Negro Business League is now much in evidence. The league was organized in February last and has been stimulating business interests ever since. We have many and varied businesses here. Why not, our people run all kinds of business as do other people? That is the object of the National League—to foster and encourage business. Here we are broadening out and before long we shall have the star business city. A colored store is now open. We have 7 at East Capitol avenue, J. P. Rohberts, manager. A furniture store is opened last week by colored men, and a department store is to be opened during this summer—the idea of the Business League. We have here a creditable mill store and a retail store. Our drug store is to be in operation here before the expiration of another year or maybe six months. A complete printing outfit is to be installed in six or eight months, and we are to have an industrial or a manual training school here. Bishop Osborne, of the Episcopal diocese is pushover, and will be co-operated with by the best white people—this is needed. The indices have re-established the Court of Calmiteah here, and have a flourishing order. The Python order the B U F and S M T's, are going to the front. We are organizing a Y M C A here will conduct a series of lectures during the summer, with the hope and determination of opening residency rooms in Y M C A and getting in line for people Y M C A work. We hope for the cooperation of the associations over the country. The new city officers have started a campaign to improve Springfield morality and otherwise. We have three lawyers three doctors, real estate men and many business men here, all of whom are doing well. We invite business men and furthers to come here. Our city is better than ever before. We need more good, appreciative colored men here. The field we want and like. We have good talent here for every line of work. Some colored man could come here and open a good restaurant and get rich. The Home Protective Association, a colored insurance and benefit association is doing a good business here. The head office is in Hammill, Mo. Bishop Schaffer preached here April 9 at St Paul's and St John's Churchpele. Tarrytown News Leon H. Hunt, the son of William H.

The A M E Zion Church, of which the Rev L M Harvey, A.M., D.D., is pastor, is active in all departments, it is a veritable bee-hive the aim of which is to harm the mortgage on the church on June 3. At no time recently has there been such zeal shown among the members. Dr Harvey has matters well in hand and is doing splendid work. There have been given recently an award for the rally on May 23. The one given by Peter Warner was a grand success, but Theo, Warner, who gave one on the 31st of April, was a record breaker, the largest crowd ever seen at a concert. The A M E Zion Church were well attended, the pastor preached with great power. Dr Harvey went to Brooklyn last week to preach the annual german to the Disciples of Christ. He met the guest of Mrs Hardy, of Herkimer street Mrs. M. L Harvey, who recently graduated in hair dressing in New York and building up quite a trade in her work. Harriford Piano Recital.
