VOL. XXII. No. 43. COLOR LINE IS FORGOTTEN In City's Reception to Gallant Negro Soldiers FIGHTING TENTH Wildly Welcomed by Cheering Crowds in March Through City on Return From Philippines FLAGS IN WALL STREET Business Men Stop Work—Reception at 69th Regiment Armory—Musical and Vanderville Entertainment at Night. While not so officially declared, it was Tenth Cavalry Day in New York City Monday, and the rousing reception accorded the gallant Negro soldiers during the day was one that made their hearts glad. They were not the only ones who were in a merry mood, for the excellent showing made by the warriors in their march through the city caused every Negro resident to feel justly proud of the United States soldiers of his race in khaki. New York City, regardless of color, turned out by thousands to welcome home from two years' foreign service the heroes of San Juan Hill, whose deeds of valor in the Spanish-American War are known to all, and the welcome given them was a most enthusiastic one. It is doubtful if greater interest could have been shown any other regiment in the army than was attached to the presence of the Tenth Cavalry in the city. From the time the regiment arrived on the United States transport Kilpatrick, Sunday afternoon, until its departure Tuesday morning for Fort Rhan Allen, in Vermont, the soldiers were shown just what genuine hospitality really means, and, furthermore, left with the idea that the general police, has a high regard for all who live their lives in fighting for the Stars and Stripes. Plaes at Mast in Wall Street District. Of the significant incidents during the parade was the testimonial tendered the cavalrymen by Wall Street. Financiers whose names are symbolic of millions, men high in the commercial life not only of this country but of the world, took time to drop their work and cheer those who have made history worth reading for the United States. The hearty cheering through the Wall Street district was only second in regularity to the steady tramp, tramp of the soldiers. From every banking institution waved a flag; in fact, Old Glory floated from almost every building in the financial district. As the crack regiment left its horses in Manila, the soldiers took part in the parade on foot. However, this did not detract from their soldiery appearance, which occasioned cheer after cheer along the line of march. Many spoke of the discipline of the men as they marched with not a foot out of time through the streets, lined on both sides with interested lookers. The bugle call to "Forward March" was given shortly past 11 o'clock, and the soldiers accompanied by civilians, started on their march of nearly ten miles about the city. The white officers of the regiment participated in the parade, which was preceded by a squad of mounted police. Eighteen carriages containing the reception committee, speakers and delegates from the various Negro churches and local organizations, made a creditable showing in the parade, and besides the Regimental Band of the Tenth Cavalry, the New Amsterdam Band, the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association Band and a band composed of Negro youths from one of the industrial schools in Nashville, Tenn., furnished music. One of the impressive sights in the parade was the marching of a score of aged Negroes, members of the J J Anderson Corps and the Thaddeus Stevens Corps of the G A R City Officials Review Parade. City United Review Parade. With hands playing, flags waving and people cheering, the soldiers marched to City Hall Park, where Mayor McChellan and President of the Board of Aldermen McGowan stood on the portico of the City Hall and with bare heads, reviewed the parade. The line of march was from Wall Street north on Broadway to the City Hall, then north again to Waverley place, and over to Fifth avenue, thence north to Fifty-eighth street, west to Eighth avenue, south on Eighth avenue to Twenty sixth street, thence east to the Sixty ninth Regiment's Armory. That the Negro residents of New York City are loyal and deeply interested in the welfare of those of their race who deem it their duty to enlist in the army in behalf of Uncle Sam was shown by the great turn-out that was residence along the line of march in the Wall Street district were once Negroes who have never been in the financial district before, but because of such an unusual occasion concluding to go beyond the Brooklyn Bridge in order to see the parade when the first single sounded to "Forward March." During the entire nine or ten miles the soldiers paraded Negroes were in evidence, and busy, too, cheering and applauding with the other onlookers. Owing to the heat, several soldiers were compelled to drop out of line, and one or two fainted Reception at Armory. The parade ended at he armory of the Sixty-ninth Regiment on Lexington avenue, where the Negro citizens had provided entertainment in honor of the visiting troopers. It was after 3 o'clock when the paraders marched into the spacious armory, where hundreds of citizens—white and colored—had assembled. Music and speechmaking were indulged in, the principal address being delivered by Borough President Mc Gowan, who was heartily applauded for his words of welcome, which were broad-minded and indicated the "fair deal spirit" that prevails generally in the metropolis of the United States. Monday evening a vaudeville entertainment was given in honor of the soldiers at Sulzer's Harlem River Park and Casino, 120th street and Second avenue. The program was furnished by the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association. After spending a most enjoyable two days' stay in New York City, the regiment left Tuesday morning over the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad for Fort Ethan Allen. With the Tenth are two Negro officers, a lieutenant and the chaplain. The other officers are white. The transport Kil patrick brought over eleven troops, comprising 628 privates and noncommissioned officers and fifty commissioned officers. Officers Speak Highly of Men. Maj George H Sands, of the Tenth speaking for the commander, Lieut-Col. Gale and the other officers, stated before leaving New York that the people of Burlington need have no apprehensions about the regiment and will have no occasion for the installation of "Jim Crow" trolley cars in their town. The record of the Tenth for orderly conduct is without a blemish. "I marvel," said Major Sands, "at sentiment antagonistic to a Negro regiment of the United States Army in such a patriotic spot as Burlington, Vt Those New Englanders ought to greet Negro troops with open arms, for it was New England activity that caused the colored soldier to become a fixture in the United States Army. The conduct of the Tenth in Burlington will be the same as it has been elsewhere, first class. The soldiers will not bother the townpeople. The percentage of men disciplined for breaches of rules in the Tenth is as low as in any regiment in the service. The Negro soldier is proud of his uniforms and proud of his flag and never forgets that he is a soldier. "The Tenth will give the people of Burlington some lessons in patriotism if I am not mistaken. Many of our men are married. Eight of them brought Filipino wives home with them. The men of the Tenth stick to their quarters, and when they have business in town or occasion to visit the town for recreation they bear themselves as soldiers and gentlemen." New York World on Reception to Soldiers. Under the caption, "Lest We Forget," the New York World commented on the significance of the hearty welcome given the Tenth Cavalry as follows: "New York has never been a city over-friendly to the Negro. For that reason alone the reception accorded to the Tenth Regiment United States Cavalry is properly deserving of a place in the annals of the colored race in America "It is a regiment with a record, and a regiment worth seeing—lean, hard, square-shouldered troopers, proud of themselves and their service, proud of their officers, proud of their flag and their country, as good soldiers ought to be. Yet the grandfathers and grandmothers of these cavalrymen were slaves, with no rights that the white man was bound to respect. "Forty-six years lie between the draft roots and the crowds that applauded the Tenth Regiment yesterday. It means much to the progress of the Negroes of America that they have produced such a regiment with such a record. Men who have proved their willingness to die for their country are surely entitled, for themselves and for their people, to the ordinary guarantees of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness which every white American claims as a birthright. They deserve to feel that for themselves as for every other American the Republic is opportunity "When the next great crisis comes in the struggle for human liberty the city that applauded the Tenth Regiment yesterday may have a keener understanding than it once had of Lincoln's immortal lines. 'And there will be some black men who can remember that with silent tongue and clenched teeth and steady eye and well-poised hayonet they have helped mankind on to this great consummation" Followers of Niagara Movement Meet in Columbus.

Special to THE NEW YORK AGE ATLANTA, Ga., July 26.—At an educational mass meeting held in this city last week at Big Bethel Church, under the auspices of the industrial department of Morris Brown College, the keynote of the meeting was "Equal Industrial Opportunities for the Negro" There were more than 1,500 Negroes in the audience, and many prominent white citizens of Atlanta were present. Dr James W. Lee, pastor of the Trinity Methodist Church, one of the largest white congregations in the city, presided. Dr Lee deplored the recent effort to oust Negro firemen on the Georgia Railroad, but declared that he felt an era of better feeling between the races was dawning, which augured for the betterment of the South generally. In speaking of the industrial conditions affecting the Negro in the North and in the South, Dr Lee said in part: "The custom has been in the North to permit the Negro equality in the church, in the school, in the theatre, in the railroad coach, but no equality in the shop, the foundry or in the department of bricklaying or carpentry The South has been disposed to offer him equality where his rations are involved. Our Northern friends say you can do whatever the white folks do at the top of society, but you can do nothing they do at the bottom. The Southern people say to the Negro, you can work along with the white folks in the realm of industry and thus make for yourselves the means to enable you to create a top for yourselves by your own efforts and among your own people. The ideas which prevailed in the North concerning the Negro industrial equality should not be permitted to make a practical expression for themselves in the South It is generally conceded that the North did a good thing for the Negro in setting him free, and now it is the turn of the South to do a better thing for him by giving him work so that his freedom shall not be a curse but a blessing." NO OBJECTION TO TROOPERS. Report that Whites Object to Stationing of 10th Cavalry in Vermont Denied. WASHINGTON, D C, July 27—According to the War Department, not a single objection has been made to the plan of stationing the Tenth Cavalry at Fort Ethean Allen, which is about three miles from Burlington, Vt., as reported by the yellow journals.

Special to THE New York AU. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 27—The Interdenominational Bible College, established in this city less than a year ago, is coming to be regarded as a factor among the agencies of civic and moral uplift at the national capital. It has been ascertained that about one-third of the urban population attends Christian churches. The remaining two-thirds form that strata of society from which criminal classes are developed. The Bible College has undertaken the work of taking to the masses such saving influences as will check the downward tendencies and minimize crime among the Negro people. Persons attend meetings of the Bible College who will not attend church, and gather inspiration therefrom. The work is unique in many respects. The School of Applied Christianity in the Bible College is centrally located and is used chiefly for the training of workers for social service, such as church workers, Sunday school teachers, missionaries, rescue workers and for those engaged in the social settlement service. It has inaugurated child study clubs and mothers' conferences, as well as various historic research work. There are home schools located in different parts of Washington where the Bible is taught to the neighborhood, and demonstrations are given in practical Christianity, in civics, in racial history, in common-politeness, hygiene and the chemistry of cooking. Rev. Sterling N. Brown is dean of the college and lecturer in Bibliology. Prof. Kelly Miller, president of the local branch of the Bible Educational Association, is lecturer on ethics; Jesse Lawson, president of the Bible College, is lecturer on sociology. A. U. Craig, superintendent of the Sunday school department, is lecturer in psychology. Rev. D. E. Wiseman is lecturer on church history; James L. Neill is lecturer on civics and jurisprudence; Rev. turer on economics; Mrs. R. E. Lawn John W. Pope is lecturer on applied Christianity; Thomas M. Dent is leason is instructor in missionary service; Miss George A. Coleman is instructor in household economics, and Mrs. R. E. Doyne is superintendent of the service department. The charter college provides for a board of fifteen regen, Hon. B. H. Warner being the only one elected to date. A sum is being raised for the erection of a Catherine Ferguson Memorial Hall by a series of entertainments. The college will hold a midsummer chauatauqa meeting at the residence of Prof. Kelly Miller on the lawn, Monday evening, August 2, at which time the stories of the lives of Catherine Ferguson, Father Lemuel Haynes and Dr. James McCune Smith will be told by several speakers.

BRUCE ANSWERS CRITICS Gives Facts and Figures in His Answer to Charge that he Favors the Technical High School. Special to The New York Agr. WASHINGTON, D C. Jply 27 - In discussing the charges recently preferred against him by the so-called Citizens' Committee that he used his influence in favor of the technical high school over the classical high school, Assistant Roscoe Conkling Bruce has made the following statement: "The Negro peasant is wholly unprepared for the complications, the competitions, the moral stress of city life, and little or no provision is made to train him in the arts and industries by which he might sustain himself Memphis, Atlanta, Washington, New Orleans, Louisville, Baltimore, St Louis, Philadelphia and New York, nine cities in which the Negro population varies from 2 per cent of the total in New York to 49 per cent in Memphis, and from 36,000 in St Louis to 87,000 in Washington, contain a total black population of over half a million souls, and in not one of these cities does there exist a trade school for Negroes, even remotely comparable to the Baron de Hirsch School in New York City for immigrant Jews. "It is certainly to the interest of these cities to place within the reach of their Negro population not only the usual facilities of good grammar schools and good high schools, but also adequate training directly for economic independence." In this connection he cites his words in a recent address, in which he said: in a recent address, in which he said: "Now, no words of mine are needful to enforce the proposition that great bodies of teachers, preachers, physicians, lawyers, engineers and business men of really liberal education and genuinely technical training are at once indispensable to the progressive well-being of the Negro people in America and vital to the security of American institutions. Of these professions that of the business man and that of the engineer are to-day not provided for by any of the separate schools for Negroes throughout the land. To schools, then, like the Institute of Technology in Boston, or the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration it is to be hoped some of our young men will go." Has Largest Circulation HAMPTON CONFERENCE Attended by Leading Business and Professional Men Taking Place Among Negroes Throughout the South was the Opinion of These Present INSURANCE COMPANIES Doing Business With Membership of 800,000, and Annual Income of $2,000,000—5 pluribus Conditions Discussed. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE HAMPTON, Va, July 24—During the two days' session of the Thirteenth Annual Hampton Negro Conference, held here last week, an air of optimism pervaded the meetings that was noticed and agreeably commented on by all present. Throughout the conference the proceedings were marked by constructiveness. Each speaker showed a desire to get at the facts of the conditions under discussion and find a remedy for them. It was the general opinion of the lawyers that Negro criminals are rapidly increasing in number. Before adjourning resolutions were adopted, as follows: Commending the churches for their co-operation in efforts to improve schools, and recommending that the churches endeavor to supply healthful amusements to take the place of those social recreations which they condemn; recommending that further study be made of the causes of the high rate of Negro crime, and that the subject be resumed at the next conference; commending the advance in school improvement, and urging better training for teachers and more widespread efforts of the schools to extend their usefulness to the communities about them; commending the movement for uniting all classes of Negroes for educational advancement. --- The Hampton Negro Conference comprised of business and agricultural men, farmers, teachers and workers, who meet at Hampton to advance the advancement of the race and methods to remedy evils that exist among Negroes. Dr. H B. Frissell, principal of Hampton Institute, presided at the first day's session. In his address he emphasized religion as being the great factor of life, and characterized the conference as God's work. He called upon the conference to be aggressive and effective in its actions and to plan for far reaching results. OVER HUILDRED and KITTY NEGRO INSURANCE companies The insurance men's session constituted the first annual meeting of the federated insurance league, which was established at the Hampton conference last year. It extended over both afternoons, and the time was occupied with a report of progress for last year, and laying plans for next year. This league was organized following a revelation to the Negro insurance men at the conference year before last, by an actuary of a big white men's insurance company, that they were conducting their business by methods that were sure to lead to disaster. The chief trouble lay with the manner of levying assessments. Such mortality tables as they used were computed for white insurance companies, while the Negro death rate is far higher than the white. Moreover, the Negro companies were levying their assessments in accordance with the actual death rate and not by the "old line" method of fixed premiums computed according to scientific principles. The result was that many companies which seemed very prosperous while the majority of their members were young, were being carried toward run by the constantly rising death rate. It was seen that immediate reform was necessary. A year has been spent in canvassing the situation. This investigation has brought out some interesting facts. There are more than a hundred duly incorporated Negro insurance organizations in the South, with a membership of 800,000, an annual income of $200,000, and outstanding contracts amounting to $700,000,000. Virginia is the banner State, with 10 organizations, which had an income last year of $1,100,000. Many small companies have united or been absorbed by stronger ones during the year, in order to furnish a broader basis for the reforms which are being introduced as rapidly as possible, without doing more harm than good. The companies are also co-operating to obtain data for a Negro mortality table and to collect reliable data concerning sickness among members for the use of sick benefit associations. During the year also the first Negro insurance company, ever established to do a strictly "old-line" business has been incorporated at Atlanta, Ga. This is the Standard Life Insurance Company, which has been chartered under the State laws as a legal reserve company. It has a capital of $200,000, and practically all the stock that is for sale has been disposed of. Educated Negro Women are known in Religious Clerks. So much for the success of the forts being made by Negroes for physical and business advance of race, as shown by the proceedi (Continued on Page 8) To Work Hard to Win Over State in Coming Election NEGRO VOTERS ACTIVE To Participate in Forming Opposition Party in South—Will Not Give Way to "Lily Whites" Newport News, VA., July 28—It is the intention of the Republican leaders in this state to begin at once to form an active opposition party in Virginia in accordance with President Taft's desires, and preliminary work in this direction will start this week at the State Convention which meets in this city. The Negro Republicans throughout the state are as equally interested in the success of the Republican ticket as the white Republicans and have announced their determination to assist in making the state go Republican at the next election. Should there be any attempt on the part of the "Lily Whites" to exclude Negroes from patty conferences and conventions there will be a big fight on, that will endanger all chances for a Republican victory. Aside from being the first Republican State convention to be held during the Taft Administration, the gathering will lay claim to national attention through the presence of one of the most powerful officers, Secretary of the Department of Labor, and who will address the delegates. By putting up the strongest State ticket they can master on a platform endorsing the party declaration of the last National Convention, the Taft Administration and the Aldrich-Payne Carrill, and containing planks on the publicists, will preside, the state fight during the approaching gubernatorial campaign. Next year, when the Congressional election will be held, candidates will be put in the field in each of the ten districts, and strong efforts will be made to increase the party representation in Congress, now entirely in Representative Bassom Sleeman to the recognized Republi- state leader. Mr. Slemp says that the Republicans of the State hold strong hopes of carrying Virginia for the national ticket in 1912. As the situation now stands, A. P. Gillespie of Tasewell, lawyer and cattle raiser, it is expected, will be nominated for Governor by acclamation. Candidates for the State officers will be put in the field. The liquor question probably is the lowest State issue in Virginia at this time, as the Anti-Saloon League has been making a strong fight for State-wide prohibition. Both of the two candidates contesting for the Democratic nomination for Governor are favoring local option with the understanding, however, that they would sign a prohibition bill if they were the Republican. Mr. Slemp says that the Republican convention will advocate local option and the success of the county unit system in the national election. The State platform, according to Mr. Bliss, also will contain plains advocating the election of State corporation commissioners by the people and the creation of two boards to reorganize the present system of taxation in the State.

It had been planned to celebrate the fifth anniversary of Dr. Gilbert as pastor of the Mount Olive Baptist Church on the first Sunday in June, and elab- preparations were made, but the uniform dress of the belfleh blin on May 29 caused a postponed the observance until last Friday night, and last Sunday, when the auspicious event was celebrated with great success. The exercises began last Friday night with Mr. J. E. Taylor, chairman of the trustee board, predealing. Addresses were delivered by the Revs. W. R. A Palmer, D. D. pastor of the M. E. Church at Orange, N. J., an old friend of Dr. Gilbert's, and an associate with him in colloquial South Carolina.

The members of MacArthur provided a splendid repast for Dr. Hilbert, and his guests and all present were served.

The services began in the morning with a splendid sermon fitting the occasion by the pulpit sermon, B. B. T. Harvey, of Larkwood N. J., and the sermon was the largest Mount Olive sermon on a Sunday morning in the country, it is likely that the brethren will attend Har. voy's sermon, printed for, distribution among the members and friends. The subject was "The good shepherd, his office, his duties, and his reward." Brief addresses were delivered to five voyes following Treasurer H. Darnell who reported the financial condition of the church during the five years of Dr. Gilbert's pastorate. The report showed that $43,814.21 had been raised during this time, and that on May 31, 1908, $522.77. During the five years, the church that left on the church of nearly $4,000 from the first pastorage had been paid off, and an indebtedness of $4,300 which had been incurred during Dr. Gilbert's administration had also been paid off, although trouble arose in the church immediately after the pastorate was brought into existence by Dr. Gilbert. Miss E. Pearl Boyer, president of the Baptist Young People's Union, also spoke, dwelling especially upon the great interest the pastor manifested in the young people, declaring that the young people intended to be more than in the past.

The lawn was covered with canvas from which numerous Japanese lanterns were hung, giving a rather pictureque appearance. In one corner of the lawn Madame Louise, a professional clairvoyant, told real fortunes. Music was admirably and gruntiously furnished by Mrs. M. Lyle, of Boston, and Mrs Anna Ellen of Hitsushi. Music was on saan. The watermelon table was looked after by Mrs Josephine Coleman, the lemonade table by Mrs Fannie Sarman, and cold tongue salads and fruits by Mrs David Trice.

Regular Correspondence of Tum Aue PITTREAU, Pa., July 27—Juke J. Pollard, a very unassuming young man, who is nassling his brother to sell ice from a wagon, has made application for a patent for a self-cleaning cuspidor—the drawings of which cause his future to look very promising. The Rio Grande Hotel, Loines & Carrion Hotels, is a very creditable place of 29 rooms, recently opened at 1321 Wylie avenue. The Andrew Carnegie Hospital is making great progress. The Avery Mission School, of which it is a part, trains nurses before they are awarded to nurses with its Princess of Wales' by Hampton Robb. must be completed and thoroughly understood by applicants who desire a position in this clean and well kept place. Mr John D Mahoney, under whose charge the Andrew Carnegie Hotels are principal of the school very courteously showed your correspondent through the hospital. The cleanliness and discipline of this place is in every way worthy the name it bears. Carrion Hotels are arriving for an examination celebration which will be held at the church in September. Rev W B Anderson, presiding elder of the Pittsburgh District, has proven himself a worthy representative of the A M E Church of which the whole city, irrespective of denominational connection, has been a resident of Pittsburgh for several years and it is safe to say it would be exceedingly difficult to find a preacher anywhere better loved and more highly respected by his neighbors than he. During Dr Anderson's administration the membership of the district has been dwindling, and debts paid off, and the following are some of the improvements which have added greatly to the material worth of church property a new church at Wylie avenue, Pittsburgh, $60,000; repairs at Eauclair, $10,000; new church at Phillipsburg, $2,500; new church at Clearfield, $1,500; new lecture room at Williamsport, $1,000; parsonage at Wilkesbarre, $1,150; parsonage at Bloomsburg, $2,000; parsonage at Jeremiah Shore, $1,200; parsonage at Bellefonte, $1,500; parsonage at Bradock, $2,500 Dr Anderson's personal appearance would cause the impression on first sight that he is a leader among men; he is known to be one of the best dressed pubs in the city, and his life as husband, father and citizen is as clear and as much in keeping with his dress as it is possible to be. Dr Anderson was interviewed recently respecting the talk of his candidacy for bishop, to which he modestly replied as to what he was doing, one of the honor. I am not seeking the office. The friends who are mentioning my name are doing so because of their knowledge of my struggles and successful efforts for the church and race, and not because of any activity on my part, called to me by the church, the gift of church, my greatest endeavor would be to continue my policy unchanged." It is safe to say if Dr Anderson's policy was more generally known he would have little, if any, opposition. It is encouraging to hear men of his prominence advocating the principles in private life that are so necessary to the race's uplift. Newspaper clippings from different places of his work as pastor show that his policy here is not a new one. He is always feelingly referred to as a priest in his family church and more and more enthusiastic and honest declines. He has done much in wiping out strife between different denominations and encouraging all to work together for the general good. Dr Anderson is not one of those preachy boxes from Negroes' packets of contribution at Negroes' packets at all back to white mechanics. This side of his life was shown in the erection of a church of which he was pastor in the southwest some years ago, and which was erected by Negroes. The nineteenth Conference recently held at Tyrone. Dr the feature was an element plea made by Dr Anderson on The Unity of the Ministry and the University of Gifts" Dr Anderson is a gifted and ready speaker who always says something that is not to come. Dr Anderson preached the first sermon your correspondent heard after coming to this city. He made an element plea to the young men of left their Christian homes South, to re-read the lessons taught by their Christian pastor. The sermon was closed with a plea for great commercial activity. --- Jersey City Noter Special to THE NEW YORK VIEW Miss Gussie Savoy of Washington, D.C. is the guest of Dr. and Mrs. George Cannon, of 334 Pacific avenue.

Not since the Brooklyn Congention has so much interest been centered on the movements of the two factions of Elks. At St. Paul, Minn., in 1908, articles of agreement between the warring factions were to unify were signed, approved and adopted by the Atkins' faction subsequent to the adoption by the Howard faction. That a mutual, constructive cleanse and prosperity of the consolidated Grand Lodge for its leader, Grand Exalted Ruler is admitted by all, and the question is who is the logical most efficient and unbiased candidate. By the elimination of this lead candidate in the unorganised body can and doubtless will be perpetuated. For his experienced and thorough knowledge of the history of the order and fine adaptability, George E. Bates, of Progressive Lodge, No 35, and Deputy of the State of New Jersey is looked upon by the majority of conservative minds as helping the ideal man for Grand Exalted Ruler. The leading forces of the order, First Battalion, No 24 South, being best served by Battalion Mr. Bates is a young man, sympathetic, refined with strong personal magnetism easy to approach, and never am GEORGE E. BATES OF NEW JERSEY biguous by reason of position: yet he occupies a position with the great Pennsylvania. Railroad Company, not held by any other Negro in America. He has a host of friends ranging from the Governor of the State to the watchman on the sidewalk. The magnitude of his influence was clearly illustrated recently when Colored Elkidom was on the verge of extermination by legislation. By his diplomacy in handling the matter and his eloquent and forenable address before the Governor and Attorney-General which resulted in the Governor retiring the bill, twelve lodges were saved. But a force to be reckoned with in the coming-contest no one treats lightly. Being a modest type of manhood his friends remind him daily that they are ready to cast their ballot for him. All Elkidom arrests upon the proportions of the duties of a Grand Exalted Master, remain unchanged. He will not interfere with the proper performance of his duties to the order. Sherman's march to the sea meant no more to the American Nation than the peaceful manman to the American Negro. We trust that all lovers of the order will insist upon a practical business man for its head, and we know of no man better equipped in all the essentials for successful leadership than George B. Jones. C & A. AT THE SUMMER RESORTS Arrivals at Ashbury Park, N. J.

(Continued from Page 1.) HAMPTON CONFERENCE this conference. The discussions of spiritual and moral conditions were led by ministers and lawyers. On the former topic the specific questions were. "Are educated colored people neglecting the church?" and "Does the minister understand present-day conditions?" Both clergymen and laymen agreed that educated Negroes are not becoming less influential in religious activities, but that on the contrary, except in some large cities, where there are numerous other interests to divide their interests, the educated Negroes are among the most earnest church workers, and that their influence is benefiting the church's power. It was agreed also that the Negro ministers as a a law of the past kept pace with the advance of the contemporary intelligence and moral development. Such evils as exist in the churches and with the ministers, it was claimed, are due, not so much to any racial characteristics as to the tendencies of the time. The chief ambition of the bright young Negro to day is to make money. He cannot make money as a clergyman Negro Crime Rate. With regard to the crime rate among Negroes also, the gist of all the expressions of opinion was that although the colored people, who form only 12 per cent of the population of the country, furnish 12 per cent of the criminals, this is due not to racial faults, but to conditions which can be remedied. The Negro receives more than his fair proportion of punishment, it was claimed, because the race forms the lower stratum of every community, from which stratum in every part of the world the majority of criminals come. Among Negroes there is a high rate of ignorance, poverty and degradation, which inevitably result in crime Statistics show that the actual crime rate among Negroes is decreasing as the lower stratum of the movement is ignored, from the country to cities, where they meet conditions with which they are not fitted to cope, is a powerful factor for merging the Negro crime rate. The presence of Negroes, it was pointed out, does not increase the total criminal average of a community or section. This assertion was substantiated by statistics. The average rate of criminals in the United States is one in every 1,000 of population. In the South Atlantic States, where the Negro population is heaviest, the general rate is exactly the same. In the North Atlantic States, where there are fewer Negroes, the general rate is 1.21 in 1,000. In the West, where there practically no Negroes, it is 1.69 in 1,000 in other words, the crime rate depends on the community and race. The Negro rate merely furnishes more than its share of criminals. It will furnish a smaller proportion as it rises from its low level of ignorance and poverty. This subject aroused such an animated discussion that the conference determined to have a committee continue an investigation of the subject and report next year. ON TO LOUISVILLE!

New Haven, July 29. The annual paint and excursion of St. Tukks Church and Sunday School went to Hanover Park, Meriden, last Wednesday and took over 330 people. This was the largest excursion run out of the summer, and it was held at the annual credit of the same at the close of the season. It was said by many of the people who attended that it was the most enjoyable picnic they had attended in a decade. In fact, Hanover Park with its varied attractions is regarded as one of the best plenaries resorts in the State. Connec- tive people go to this point than any This year St Luke's added a new feature to her diversions and that was a boat race. Ten men in singles entered the race, and the start was made amid the excitement. The water first and easily kept the lead without exertion to the finish. Fisher vanquished the other contestants by from five to ten boat lengths, and carried away the prize. Another feature was a banche game between the men, and the game was very exciting, more so through errors made by the married men than by scientific playing. Nevertheless the game all through was as good as a show, for the mirth and enjoyment of the men. The marathon men scored 2 0 0. Another traction was at the skating rink where the variegated figures were cut by the noses, kept the pavilion in a roar of laughter from start to finish. The Immanuel Haptif Church and Shrine of St Luke's Dr. David K. Klugh, pastor, will hold their annual picnic and excursion on Thursday, August 12, at Hanover Park, Meriden.

BREWER AND THE NEGRO. "We have grave questions before us unquestions which we must meet and meet without prejudice, meet fairly consider reasonably, and strive to decide honestly. One is the Negro question. The Negroes don't seem to be troublesome up here, but go down South, and in some states the major portion of the population is colored. If they were all as his intelligent as some colored men I know there would be no trouble, but there is a vast mass of ignorance and passion there which has to be controlled, and we must be controlled not controlled by our brothers of the South. And instead of trying to make the work more burdensome and difficult, it is the duty of every true man to lend a helping hand to every effort on the part of our Southern brethren to give a better life and a more intelligent life to the Negro." Thus spoke Justice David J Brewer last Thursday in an interview on the problems of the American nation When that stalwart exponent of even-handed justice spoke on the solution of the Negro question he was right These grave questions must be met, and we are glad that at least another Supreme Court Justice besides Justice Harlan, from Kentucky, recognizes that fact As the President recently said, the Negro problem cannot be escaped It can only be settled for all time by being met without prejudice, met fairly, considered reasonably and decided honestly But the statements of Justice Brewer on the Negroes and the ignorance and the passion of the South are misleading The inferences are wrong. The mere fact that "the major portion of the population" in some Southern States is colored should not make the Negroes "troublesome." In a Republic the majority cannot properly be considered "troublesome" because of numbers to a minority. Likewise, the Negroes have not a monopoly of the ignorance and passions of the South. There are five million illiterate and degraded poor whites in the South. An open concubinage, an unfathered, mixed generation tells the terrible tragedy of the white Southerner's passion These, too, should be controlled and regulated by "our brothers of the South." We hope that Justice Brewer voices the present sentiments of his fellow Justices In the past the Supreme Court has consistently evaded the Negro question. The Supreme Court is thus assisting in complicating the question and confusing the issues involved, by postponing its adjustment Let the Supreme Court meet the Negro question fairly and honestly TRADE SCHOOLS. There is no educational problem more agitated at the present day than that of incorporating trade or vocational schools in the public system. It was thoroughly discussed at the National Educational Convention in Denver, and some of the most prominent educators in the country expressed themselves as in favor of the vocational school. This movement toward a broadening of the public school work is partially an outgrowth from the successful manual training and domestic science courses. But it is, even more, the result of the steady growing conviction that the schools should not exist merely as feeders to the colleges But of all the pupils who enter the public schools, only about two per cent ever go to college Should the whole course be planned for such a small per cent? Eighty per cent of the school children leave the grades before reaching the high school And of the ten per cent who do go to the high school, only four per cent graduate What of the other 96 per cent? It is evident that they want some kind of training that the public schools do not offer. The question arises whether or not the public schools should supply their wants. The sentiment of the time answers the question overwhelmingly in the affirmative. It is a big undertaking for the public schools to teach the trades; but, at least it has been done successfully elsewhere. Many of the German cities have such a system of trade schools, and in Munich especially they have been successful. Under the present conditions there is no way for certain trades to be taught except through apprenticeship, which seldom results in giving the workman an all-around knowledge of his trade. Furthermore it is a very slow method of instruction. If the proud and progressive Cauca sian approves and advocates the teaching of trades in the public schools, ought not the Negro see an advantage in it? --- NOT TOO DRASTIC. The editorials in this paper continue to attract attention and to be favorably commented on. There are those who think us too drastic along racial reform lines. However, we do not think that we are. For instance, we are now confronted with the case of the secretary of an organization who has been found guilty of indiscretions which should require a change in the office he now occupies. To retain him will interfere with the usefulness of the organization and hinder its growth. Clean men in associations and in all high places should be insisted upon. The rascals should be turned out wherever found! WHAT TO DO. It is important to the Negro people to know the directions in which they are strong, as individuals and as a race. It is important to know these things, because it is there where they are strong they can hope to succeed Do you habitually ask yourself this question, when you are seeking, for yourself or your children, an education, in choosing a profession, in looking for a job? Do you habitually ask yourself, what can I do best? What can I do better than any one else around me? Find some one thing you can do and do it with all your might One of the greatest living American painters, Henry O Tanner, knew where he was strong. By training and temperament, the son of a bishop, he knew that religious art was his forte. He prepared himself. To he prepared for an emergency is to have that emergency arise. Feeling the public pulse, he discerned the field and opportunity for religious art Henry O Tanner has given to the world those marvelous reproductions of Bible scenes, which have brought him both fame and fortune. It does not pay to do anything that you can't do well. If you are doing something poorly, you had better hunt another job. If you are not doing your work as well or better than some other fellow, you may be sure that your employer is looking for another man As a race and as individuals, we should study to find out the thing we can do best. No matter whether it is tilling a farm, running an elevator or painting a picture, it is the thing we do well that pays. WORK OF NEGRO ARCHITECT. Mr Andrew Carnegie recently published over his own signature an interesting article in Collier's Weekly describing the various types of libraries which he has given throughout the world. While he has given thousands of library buildings, he published only nine photographs of these buildings, as indicating the best types. Among the nine there was the photograph of the library building at the Tuskegee Institute. The architect of this building was Mr R R Taylor, instructor in architecture at Tuskegee --- NEW BEREA FOR NEGROES. President W G Frost, of Berea College, makes the announcement that the construction of the separate institution for Negroes. Lincoln Institute, will be begun at once. The Lincoln Institute will be situated on a site of 600 acres purchased secretly in Shelby County, ten miles from Shelbyville, Ky. The adjustment fund of $400,000 has been completed. $350,000 subscribed by Andrew Carnegie, Mrs Sage and other Northern philanthropists, and $50,000 by Kentuckians, mostly Negroes Kentucky Negroes are to be congratulated upon their acquisition of this new institution. Kentucky Negro youth especially have suffered by the dearth of industrial training within their State. With its management supervised by Berea and with its increased facilities the opportunity for service for Lincoln Institute is a large one. The school located, as it is, in the thickly populated Negro section of Kentucky, will doubtless reach a larger number of Negroes than formerly, placed as Berea is among the border mountains in Northern Kentucky. Eventually the opposition of the whites will calm and the new Berea like the mother institution should be a beacon light directing the Negroes of Kentucky forward --- ALABAMA WOMEN At the recent annual meeting of the Alabama Federation of Negro Women's Clubs, the fact was brought out that these clubs have raised during the past twelve months $1,528 54. This a fine example for other women's organizations The African World, published in London, says America may succeed in Liberia where England and France have failed. That depends on whether the World means America is going to swallow Liberia or Liberia is going to swallow Americanism. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1909. VERMONT AND THE TENTH. We hesitate to credit the press reports of the protest Burlington, Vermont, citizens are said to be making against the stationing of the Fighting Tenth at Fort Ethan Allen. First, we do not believe the citizens of Vermont are so unpatriotic. Secondly, the citizens of Burlington are not unaccustomed to soldiers, and, coming as does this colored cavalry regiment with so splendid a record, they are hardly in the "dread" reported Dr. S W. Service, Tenth Cavalry, the senior veterinary in the United States Army, and the oldest man in the military of this country to-day, who has been stationed at the fort because of his age since his regiment has been in the Philippines, has come to the defense of the Negro soldiers. In no uncertain tones he thus makes it plain to the citizens that they have nothing to fear "Their discipline is remarkable. I have been with them many years, and I can say with certainty they are a fine body of men. If Burlington has any trouble with the men of the Teenth, it will be because they will go after it. The Negroes will not start the fight." If further evidence were needed as to the peaceful disposition of the famous fighters, it is furnished by the report of their departure from Fort William McKinley in the Philippines, where thousands of citizens, formerly hostile, bade them good-bye, with unfeigned sorrow. Surely, it cannot be that the rank and file of Vermont citizens has become so innoculated with prejudice that they do not want the men to live in this country who have fought and laun down their lives for this country New York, from her Mayor down, has given the Tenth a welcome without parallel They richly deserve, and should have, the lasting respect and gratitude of the entire country AFRICA BY A NEGRO: The recently issued book by Alexander Priestly Camphor, from the press of Jennings & Graham, Cincinnati, entitled, "Missionary Sketches and Folk Lore," has a special interest, because it is one of the few books dealing with the Dark Continent that is written by a Negro The author, Dr Alexander P Camphor, is a native of Louisiana. He and his wife were the first regularly appointed colored missionaries sent out by the Mission Board of the Methodist Church. For eleven years Dr. Camphor was president of the College of West Africa at Monrovia. Here he had opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge of the African. The book is written in a very sympathetic manner and attempts to "reveal something of the African in his native habitat, and what influences the missionary is exerting upon him in his moral and spiritual awakening" The book is divided into three parts Part I gives the experiences of the missionary on the West Coast of Africa, both in the mission stations and among the natives in the far hinterland Part II deals with myths, legends and folk-lore Here the author gives a number of interesting African stories, several of which show the forms from which the plantation tales of this country are derived. What the author designates as parables and proverbs are good "If a man calls you and you refuse to answer, you will be driven to reply if he persists in calling you." Meaning "Perseverance conquers difficulties" "If you want to catch fish, don't shake the water" "The hen says We will walk after him that has something" Part III deals with Native Incidents and Items from social life and from religious life There are a number of good illustrations, showing different phases of native life On the whole, it is an interesting book that will probably do much toward stimulating interest in Africa and the Africans --- EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS There seems to be a dearth of business activity among all business men save Negro business men, who have made "On to Louisville" a slogan genuine and compelling The Negro women of Montgomery, Ala, hurt by the rise in the price of charcoal, appealed to the Mayor and the Mayor, unlike most Southern officials, having no political dirty linen to wash, heard and has acted on the women's complaint The charges of Assistant Principal Roscoe C. Bruce, of the Washington Schools, sustained, his recommendations executed, and the counter attack dismissed reveals the strategy of the Principal Now, really, who is monarch of all he surveys at the Capital? We are glad to note the numerous promotions in the departments at Washington, but the big appointments alleged to be booked for July are conspicuous by their absence. Well, the new tariff bill was booked to be signed on July 24, too. Thomas Johnson, for twenty-eight years confidential man to the theatrical magnates, Kiw & Erlanger, has invented in his new window washer not only a time, but life-saving device. The Negro has been accused of laziness, but heretofore he has never been charged with saving labor by the other method. Ex-President Roosevelt is said to be immensely popular with the African natives, who have not only shown him every courtesy, but have undergone many risks and hardships to safeguard his welfare All hail. Bwana Tumbo, whose country is all the world, and whose countrymen are all mankind. "Lincoln Institute" was a highly desirable name, it seems to us, for the industrial institute to be established as the Negro Berea in Shelby County, Kentucky Lincoln was born in Kentucky and his education, too, was founded on a full head, a warm heart and a hard hand. Rising in the might of their wrath against the theatre discriminations, the Negroes of the National Capital under the leadership of Architect Pittman, are going to build a $400,000 Lincoln memorial building, to include a theatre, stores and offices. Just see what the Negroes are being driven to, and now just watch for the reaction among the white theatres to get them back. The Masonic grand officers living in Boston are planning a $200,000 memorial lodge hall to Prince Hall, the founder of the independent order. Boston is rather slow in this respect, as the Masons and Pythians in other sections have built halls already, but Boston never claimed to be the head, only the lungs and brains of the nation Africana Symbolize Liberty. Liberty is a mighty word. When a native of East Africa was asked to explain the meaning of a certain ornament that he wore, he replied that it was a sign that no one of his ancestors was ever a slave. The advanced nations are teaching the rest of the world that liberty is a natural and inalienable right to own, and that the world is rapidly learning the lesson. It is fortunate for the United States that the Indians, the descendants of the original owners of the land, now number less than three hundred thousand. If there were as many Indians, from whom we took the land as there are Negroes from the land, we would be in the political world be in the region of volcanoes and earthquakes. But in Asia and Africa which are under European control, two-thirds of the human race are learning the lessons of liberty. It has been said that, if the horses knew their strength, they would be impossible to seduce them to the land. In India China alone there are seven hundred millions of human beings. How long will they submit to the control of foreigners or dictation from without? Vermont Can't Point the Finger. That race prejudice is not confined to the South is manifest only too unfortunately in the resentment of people in Burlington and Winosco at the quartering of a regiment of Negro cavalry in Fort Earl Allen. Refusals of whites to eat in restaurants which admit Negroes, and demands for separate trolley cars, are already reported. When these things were confined to the South, much unconscious indignation could be roused in the Green Mountain State. But now that these Northern cities face the same situation, their philosophical calm is disturbed. The location of the prison was possibly the effect of indulgence. Winscoch to close its "blind tiger" and to become "dry" in fact as well as in law. It may also induce Burlington to reconsider its "wet" programme. The truth is that the location of a garrison, white or black, is bound to afford a serious local difficulties anywhere. But the arm is here built as though the quartering of twelve hundred colored cavalryman in a region away from large cities and in a generally law-abiding community such as Vermont, were an ideal disposition of the force. At all events, Vermont will now have an opportunity to "make good. She must brace herself to provide for the problem she faces or cease to point the traditional finger of scorn at Southern towns for their attitude when similarly circumstance New York Evening Post D'GRO NEEDED REBUKE. George W. Griffin, a Pullman car porter was accused of stealing twenty dollars and was arrested. He was innocent and was discharged. He sued the man who had him arrested. The jury gave Griffin a verdict of $2,500. Judge Dugro reduced the verdict to $300, saying in substance that a Nagro accused of hishonesty "did not suffer as much humiliation as a white man when unjustly arrested." This appeared to the Evening Journal at the time a dangerous and unwise statement for a judge to make upon the bench. Colored citizens obey the laws as do others, and they are entitled to equal treatment, especially in a court of justice. Judge Dugro undoubtedly spoke without reflection. The Appellate Division, while confirming the amount of damages allowed by the law, stressed amphibious its disapproval of his statement that a negro feelings of pride are inferior to those of a white man are inferior to those of a white man There is enough brutal race prejudice in the world without having it stimulated by any thoughtless utterance from the bench. If a Judge says that a negro has less feeling than a white man when he is incarcerated, then some may adopt the theory that a Negro has less feeling than a white man when he is shot or stabbed. The object of our government should be to raise all of the citizens to a plane upon which they will be worthy of the vote and of republican opportunity. It is unwise, unjust and unkind deliberately to discriminate against a large group among whom we may mock in honor and in sensibility with the most honorable white men.—New York Erasing Journal. THE MAN WHO WINS. The man who wins is an average man, Not built on any particular plan, Not blessed with any particular luck; Just steady and earnest and full of pluck. When asked a question he does not guese. He knows the answer "No" or "Yes." When set a task that the rest can't do, He buckles down till he puts it through. Three things he's learned That the man who tries. Finds favor in his employer's eyes, That it pays to know more than one thing it doesn't pay all he knows to tell. So he works and waits, till one fine day. There's a baster job with bigger pay. And the man who shirked whenever he could. Are blessed by the man whose work made good. For the man who wins is the man who works. Who neither labor nor trouble shirks. Who uses his hands, his head, his eyes. The man who wins is the man who tries. Charles R Barrett in Royal Trust Monthly WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY The Republican state convention is soon to be convened. It seems to us that at this time some colored man should receive some recognition at the hands of the republican party in this state on some of the committees. The conditions require that they have some recognition we know whereof we speak. The Omana Enterprise Dr Gee W Henderson, the newly elected principal instructor for Payne University, is highly recommended. He was one of the professors in Fisk University, from which he resigned recently. He has made his people more direct. He carries himself from three colleges, besides the common school attended previous to his college life.

The Hopkinsville (KY) Times The approaching fourth annual meeting of the Florida Negro Business League at Tampa July 5, grows in interest more and more each day. With one or two exceptions, the race papers of the State, including the popular Negro department of the Jacksonville Metropolis, have all ready devoted a reasonable amount of space in their columns in the interest of the Tampa meeting of the league. Couple these evidences of hope with the numerous communications from business men and women of the State and others who are deep in the growth of the area along lines of business. Times there is every reason, therefore, to believe that this session of the State League will encircle all previous meetings. The Florida Sentinel. The young Negro must be taught there is something to the race, that there are some Negroes that have achieved victories and reached an eminence in the estimation of the world along many lines. Why not hang their pictures and reached out to their authors who not get their works in your libraries at home? There are Negro business places, in time, that might employ your children. Why withhold your support? There are over 400 Negro newspapers in the country, pleading, defending and struggling onward in behalf of your interest. Why not be a man or a woman to be your home? We must take pride in our home teach our young the same, if we would be a strong people. Point with pride to the achievements of some of the race, impress upon them that even if black, they have something to live for and a mission to fulfil. Under the caption of American Negroes in London, The Post-Intelligencer sees a probable solution of the much mooted race problem in the United States. Already, it argues, 4,000 Negroes have settled in London and if they do well many others will either go to London or other European cities and thereby lessen the probability of race riots in this country. It further states that a device is being perfected which will pick the cotton in South which being successful in the industry has been picked by the Negroes and when that has been successfully accomplished the Negroes will cause to be a necessary evil of the South. The writer of such thoughts seems to be almost as ignorant of the real facts of the Negro and the South as is a Fijian of the practical use of electricity in the United States. If every pound of cotton raised in the South was picked by a mechanical picker then there would still be more work in the South for either Negroes or some other kind of help than twice the number of persons now living in the South. The (Richmond) Reformer Many of us act as though we think a policy of united action and organization is not for us, but for people of some other race and color. We have done much in twenty years of freedom. We have written a history, in deeds, that has astonished the old world and the world, our friends and enemies. The gap between the better class of white people and the better class of colored people is not widening. The friction between the worst elements of both races though seems to be increasing and this may bring on unpleasant results. The good sense though of the upper classes of both races will be in evidence and serious consequences or results will be The Richmond Planet We are glad to note the fact that Editor J. C. Gilmer, of the *Charleston Advocate*, has been re-appointed a Librarian of West Virginia for the full term of four years dating from March 4, 1999. My Gilmer's selection is based on his classmate Dr. Drew because the former is a leader among his people possessing great ability and is in every way eminently fitted for the menifold duties which will devolve upon him in the position of Librarian. He enjoys the enviable distinction of being honored by two men of high standing. Dr. Drew having appointed him Librarian to fill out the unfinished term of the late lamented Hon Samuel W. Starks What we shall possess in wealth, in character, in useful citizens, occupies the attention of the thoughtful men and women of the race. The answer to this question is in the conduct and department of the young people of today. If we induce our young people to live sober, industrious and upright lives; to attend church, read good books and papers, to stop out of places of idleness and wickedness; and to follow some useful employment; then we may expect a strong healthy and useful race that shall reflect the glory of the race in the years to come. The Kentucky Torchlight Civilization and the Newer Nobody can guess as yet, what is to be the destiny of the descendants of the ten million negroes now in the United States. They are, we suppose by all odds the ablest most civilized, and competent ten million lot of Negroes in the world. They are all at school in a great school kept somewhat reluctantly, by white men. Somehow and some time the Negroes are going to have something like a forbidden job with have a job for them and it will be the worst job that they can live by, but the best of which they are capable—life. PITTSBURG MAN ON VIRGINIA. Ottawa Wishes Dr. Washington Could Reach Negroes on Wylie Avenue. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE I have just finished reading in the columns of our splendid AGE of the triumphant tour of Dr Booker T Washington through the state of dear old Virginia. How greeting there was simply characteristic of Virginia to the "Manor born." There is no better place anywhere on earth than Virginia, no people gentle and hospitable than the sons of daughters of the Old Commonwealth. I am glad that the great educator has traveled through those parts and spoken such wise and helpful words. I wish that he could come to Pittsburgh and make a tour up and down Wiley avenue. And urge some of the many abledobed young men, and women, too, many of whom live without any visible means of support, to return to the broad fields of the South and become independent, thrifty citizens. Pittbush has hundreds of energetic, successful and well-to-do colored citizens, who are a credit to any race, own beautiful homes; conduct successful businesses and maintain splendid the moral and spiritual uplift of the race. But the other which frequent the dives, dens and other of vice in our great industrial city bring down upon us all a serious handicap in social progress. Our churches, most of them, are a credit to us as a race. But the ministry of some could be decidedly improved upon It is a great pity that our well-to-do and successful business and professional men do not take more hearty and active interest in the moral uplift of the race here in Pittsburgh. We are not finding fault with them, for they are as a rule splendid gentlemen. But what we claim is that they have had superior advantages over so many of the race that it they would be sufficiently interested in finding their living out of the race to meet their possible assist them to use upright and better lives. Of course there are some bright exceptions. The great need to day among us is upright, Godly, Christian leadership. It is a and fact that many young people, whom we knew well when they were struggling were churchgoers and college were churchgoers and college teachers. But after completing their courses many of them helped by the prayers and labor of their fond parents, have located in our great cities and become successful in their chosen vocation, and unfulfilled of their obligation to the spiritual and moral life of the community in which they have come and made their homes. Every successful man or woman of our race owes his less fortunate brother a little help on to better things. Next week we will tell you of some of the successful enterprises in our midst and why they are successful "PITTENBURG CITIZEN" Pittsburg, Pa. July 15, 1909 What is manhood? He who stands and fights to a finish for what he desires to be right calls that manhood; he who finds himself at a hopeless dissatisfaction and seeks to reach a compromise with his foe, even though he have to do more than he takes, calls that manhood he who accepts wrong and outrage, ever hard to bear, without protest of retaliation, preferring peace to war, and that manhood. These three aspects of manhood dominate in the affairs of the individuals, of races and of states. Who constitutes manhood, then, depends tirely upon the view point. Every man, every race, every state must cide for himself, in his time and plan what is best for him, and the measure of his estimate is the measure of his manhood, and as he accepts it so will that about him accept it. Reduced to its absurdity, manhood is the estimate man places upon himself if it be his and he live' up to it his fellow man will respect him accordingly even when not conceding him what he claims. if it be low and he live up to it no one will deny him what he claims. By the token have mankind emerged from the nude animal to the crude man and from thence into the finished intellectual moral force regnant today as the standard of right living and high thinking all 'Christian lands'. Those of his standards of manhood do and have a morseless devoured those of low standards of manhood These views are expressed as a result of the position in which Bishop E. Lampton found himself, in Greenwich Miss., because somebody refused to proper respect to his daughter—that as much as can be got of the statement of it and his alleged resentment of As to what constitutes the manhood of we have a definition by Bishop Lamp and a condemnation of the definition before it was made by Dr John Henderson IN THE AGE OF July 15., Dr Henderson says "Bishop Lampton as a plain Negro citizen got on all right in his South home. It was only when he got 'big head' that trouble came upon him but it came, plenty and fast. If Negro has a few dollars ahead and honor among his own people, it is fool to make a parade. A white bad cent in any part of the world at this point time would not exchange places to the most estated Negro. But he was join with the best citizens in regular a Negro who makes big pretensions show. Every Negro should record the fact that the white man does regard him as an equal." Seven days after, in THE AUGUST July 22, Bishop Lampton says: "Referring to your conversation I depot in Greenville the morning I left which you advised me of the report I had insulted or offended one of young lady telephone operators, friends of hers, I beg to say that I very disclaim having said or done thing intended to offend or insult young lady or any of her friends sincerely regret if I used any express which would bear such construction if so I cheerfully withdraw it and size for it. I have never asked for stood for recognition or good The Bishop of any church is better than the hod carrier of any race a doctor of divinity and medicine would put a Bishop of his church or love with a hod carrier of any race closes the quality of manhood, not of Bishop nor the hod carrier, but of M Henderson Every Negro whocepts the principle that the white does not regard him as his equal Dr Henderson does, is not the white man There is not a Bid of the African Methodist Episcopal church who is not the superior of John M Henderson and all the carriers of all the races in the yellow and the black ancestor of Rev John M Henderson it were not so Dr Henderson would a Bishop himself and not a censure critic of them in authority over his church, and a maligner of not in the church who measure standard of manhood by the place have made for themselves and the evidence and esteem of their fellows have and enjoy as men In his Dr Henderson is as white as James Vandaman, and he reasons white the Vardaman view point when he video manhood status on the elastic line of white above and black be Do not character and ability and tension snap their fingers at color Even so, if Dr Henderson were not white he could think blacker. We are sorry for Bishop Lans We thought he was built of noble lier stuff. If he did not offend the rather a simply dischisher was all was needed. To apologize for what did not do, or says he did not do matters so that it is hard to believe dischisher or the apologe to have dated from a brave man who rather have his old home and line strangers than crawl at the feet fawn upon the hands of those who fit his manhood status below that Bishop and on a level with that of a carrier. A Bishop does not need where to stand or ask for social union or equality, his office stands that and demands that wherever it whether the man in the office will stands for it, or asks it, and when man runs away from the dignity of office, he who created the office will the man answer for the cowardly him. It is for a Bishop to uphold dignity of a Bishop in honor of who created the office of Bishop Spirit with which every Bishop is in sympathetic communion areas is for a hod carrier to uphold the nuts of a hod carrier. For a Bishop place himself on a level with a carrier, or for a minister under a hop to so place a Bishop provoke wrath of the Spirit which ordained dominates the three of them to the he holds. Render unto the Bishop the that are the Bishop's, and unto carrier the things that are the High Priest. :- we Ses oe Se a ee “.. > THE, NEW. YORK AGRA VESDAY,- JUEY 29, 1909. . .

Porcelain, Crews a a Music and the Stage ```markdown ``` THEATRICAL COMMENT AIDA OVERTON WALKER will not be with the show to be headed by Bert A. Williams during the season of 1909-10. This information comes direct from two sources—Miss Walker and the Bert Williams management. Following this statement comes one that is not any the less interesting—that Alda Overton Walker will be seen with Cole and Johnson's "Red Moon" Company when the season opens sometime in August. For several days Stair and Havlin have been negotiating with the clever wife of George W Walker to become a member of "The Red Moon" Company, and before THE AGE goes to press it is very likely that an agreement will have been reached. It is said that there is a possibility of Miss Walker becoming a star herself in the near future, and that next season Stair and Havlin will probably put her out in a company of her own. When seen by the writer relative to the report that there was a rumor current that she was going with the Cole and Johnson aggregation, Miss Walker said: "It is true that I have been considering a very excellent proposition made me by Stair and Havlin to join "The Red Moon" Company, and I have been seriously considering the matter. A prominent agent also wants to book me in vaudeville with six girls for Venice, but I have about concluded to accept the Stair and Havlin proposition and go with Cole and Johnson for a year." Miss Walker should prove a strong attraction with "The Red Moon" Company, as she is one of the cleverest dancers on the stage, and knows how to effectively render a song over the footlights. For several years she has been one of the features of the Williams and Walker Company. Manager Demands of Aspiring Thesplan. This is the time of year when everyone who has theatrical ambitions wants to become a star or at least be given an important part in some musical show. The different managers and stars receive some very interesting letters, made so because of the unusual demands of many who write seeking positions. Manager Jack Shoemaker, for many years the business head of the Williams and Walker Company, and who will assume a similar position the coming season for Bert Williams, was recently discussing with the writer the strange demands made by aspiring singers who have never been before the footlights and do not know the difference between "up stage" and "down stage." According to Manager Shoemaker, almost every seven letters out of ten from aspiring applicants ask that prominent parts be given, the authors making it known that positions in the chorus are beneath their notice and undesirable. The stars and managers of the other shows are also recipients of such letters, which always create much merriment, as shows are conducted on the same basis as any other business enterprise, and with the idea that you must start from the bottom and work your wav up. However, some of our ambitious singers think it possible to start from the top—an ambition ever realized. Here is a sample of the letters received daily by the heads of the various shows. Dear Sir I am a young lady with a good soprano voice and of pleasing appearance. I am considered the best singer in _____ and while I have never been on the stage before I am sure I can make good if given the opportunity. Now, I am willing to join your company if you will provide me with one of the leading parts, as I could not think of going in the chorus. Hoping to hear from you soon, I am, Respectfully, Miss Got Her Nerve Now, wouldn't that make even you assume a "Sunny Jim" expression, let alone the stars and managers? Evidently the author of such a letter considers herself eligible for an important role in a big musical show because she is considered the best singer in Elliardville, which does not mean much to theatrical folk in the great metropolis. Such applicants are lucky when they are given an opportunity to work in the chorus in order to show the talents they claim they possess. Said Manager Shoemaker to the writer a few days ago "While we can use three or four more good soprano singers, also two contraito chorus girls and one tenor, we have been compelled to turn down application after application within the past ten days, either because the applicant did not come up to requirements or that the demand was made that a part be given when we are looking for chorus people. "I do not understand how some of the people seeking positions expect to come to a big show and be shown preference over good chorus people who have been connected with the Williams and Walker Company for years. While we have a few vacancies to be filled in the chorus there is no room for those desiring prominent parts." How Will Colored Vaudevillians Be Affected? Last week a compact was made between the Independent Booking Agency, composed of the Mozart, Bljon, Sheedy and Quigley circuits, and the White Yours Oui Rats whereby the latter contracted to provide performers for the respective theatres in the above-mentioned circuits. As is well known, the White Rats is an organization composed of white vaudeville performers who have never been any too conservative on any questions affecting the colored performer in vaudeville. Just how colored variety artists will be affected by the agreement remains to be seen. In the memorandum of agreement made between the two contracting parties are several significant clauses, as follows. "Said association does further agree to lend its moral support to enable said agency to secure sufficient attractions for the vaudeville theatres and other places of amusement that said agency agrees to provide attractions for, for and during the life of this contract. "Said association does hereby guarantee and by these presents has guar- AIDA OVERT Who will appear with "The Red M anteed the faithful performance of all contracts made and executed by any member in good standing of said association with said agency or with any vaudeville theatres or other places of amusement procured by or through said agency during the life of this contract providing said agency gives notice in writing within six days after the execution of each and every contract made by and between said agency or by and between any of the theatres or other places of amusement and any member in good standing of said association which engagement is procured by or through said agency, to the Secretary of Board of Directors of said association who shall within six days of the receipt of said written notice notify said agency at its New York address whether or not the said alleged member is a member in good standing of said association. We would like to know if only members in good standing in the White Rats are to be booked over these currents or will colored jobs be employed as before, and, if so, what kind of a contract if any, will be used between them and the Independent Booking Agency? The Age Shows Up Strong in England London, England, July 14, 1909 Dramatic Editor of THE AGE You should see how THE NEW YORK AGE stands out here with all the other American newspapers. It is sold in seve- ral places and is eagerly sought after by colored performers and tourists. Keep up the good work Your friend.

Within a short time Morris expects to be able to book attractions in every large city in the world. We hope the colored vaudeville artists will bene fit by the new state of affairs.

IN THE SPORTING WORLD Philadelphia Giants Win Double-Header ALTHOUGH the Philadelphia Giants did not use Pitchers McClellan and Fisher in their double header, they won both games Sunday at Meverrose Park defeating the Hoboken team by the score of 7 to 3, with Emery pitching, and winning the second game from the Ridgewoods with Hayman in the box. The second game was closely contested with Hayman doing the slab work for the Giants and Lindemann for the Ridgewoods. Lindemann was in great form and the visitors were able to make four hits off his delivery Hayman was touched up for twelve hits, yet the Giants won out, due to opportune hitting on their part and costly errors by the Ridgewoods. In the first game the Giants had a battingfest at the expense of O'Brien of the Hobokens, making a total of twelve hits. Lloyd carried off batting honors for his team, getting three hits. But two hits were made off Emery.

OUT-OF-TOWN CORRESPONDENCE Have Thriving Organization—Hold Meetings Regularly. Regular Correspondence of The Acm. SPRINGFIELD, Ill. July 20.—One of the most active, influential and progressive local business leagues that we have visited anywhere during our itinerary is at Springfield, Ill. It was organized and received its charter last March, and since that time it has made things pretty lively in the business and commercial life of the capital of the state. They meet regularly every two weeks, either in their headquarters, or in one of the many churches in the city. Whenever they meet they invariably have something define in view, and usually good results are the outcome. No other organization in the city is more popular, and its meeting are usually well attended, because of the interest manifested in the program to be executed, and always published a fortnight ahead. The different churches vie with each other in extending invitations and opening their doors for the meetings of this league. As a natural result of this widespread interest and enthusiasm, quite a number of business ventures have been made by young men in this community, who other organizations would have let their business qualifications remain dormant, while on the other hand those in business of different kinds before the league was establish have materially felt the effects of such an organization in their midst, by a great increased patronage. For the information of the readers of THE ACE, we will give a brief statement of the commercial and material condition of our people here.

Coleman and James John; three clerks, Messrs. Hinton, Davis and Martin, and about ten employees in the Capitol Building.
