It was indeed a great gathering, repre- THE NEW YORK TIMES [Portrait of a man in formal attire, seated with his hands clasped in front of him.] senting the wealth and intellect of the Negro race in America. Taking an active part in the proceedings are men, whose wealth is put in six figures, and who are, therefore, listened to with marked attention when they read a paper on how to succeed in certain avenues of business. Then you will find professional men who rank high in their chosen work, and who, in discussing their respective subjects, do so in such a convincing and instructive manner that all are made to feel that they know whereof they speak.

Dr. Washington received a demonstration when he arose to deliver his annual address. Every seat in the auditorium was filled and quite a number of white citizens were in evidence. Dr Washington spoke as follows "Officers and Members of the National Negro Business League: Negro Business League: "In coming together again for another annual meeting of the National Negro Business League, we have some reasons to congratulate ourselves upon the success of this organization. When we had our first meeting a few years ago there was comparatively little interest among our people in business, commercial and industrial enterprises. This organization has grown during these years to the point where hundreds of our best men and women now come together representing all parts of the country, for these annual meetings. We have at least 500 local Negro business leagues scattered throughout the country. Great Progress in Southern States. When we began work there were a few drugstores owned and controlled by black people. Now we have nearly 200. A few years ago there were only about THE MEMORIAL a half dozen Negro banks in the country; now there are 47. Drygoods stores, grocery stores and industrial enterprises to the number of over 10,000 have sprung up in all parts of the country. "A little more than forty years ago, when the Negro was made free, he had almost no acres of land. Now he has an acreage nearly as large as New England. Then he had almost no homes; now he has 400,000 homes. Then he had few farms; now he has 200,000 farms. Then he had no insurance companies; now he has 85. Then he had no undertakers; now he has several thousands. When the American Negro was made free about 3 per cent. could read and write; now 67 per cent. can both read and write. Then he had few churches; now he has 20,000 churches. Our work is not yet done. The years Appointing Negroes to Police Force in Colored Districts—All Elements of Race Together. Since the recent publication in The Age of a sermon by Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom in which he advocated the appointment of Negroes to the police force, many expressions approving such a movement have been heard. The business and professional men of the race in this city seem to agree to a man that Negro police would mean much toward maintaining law and order in the so-called colored residential districts, and the conservative members of the saloon element are as equally anxious that such a condition be brought about. Impetus has been given to what seems to be one of the principal topics for discussion among the New York negroes by the statement made last week at a meeting of the Connexional Conference at Mother Zion Church by Acting Mayor McGowan that he favored having Negro police in the metropolis. Acting Mayor McGowan gave out his views on the subject when asked by a reader of The Age if it was possible for a negro to secure a position on the police force. The Acting Mayor declared that he long had been of the opinion that Negro police in certain sections would end the clashes between the police and the blacks, and, therefore, favored having negro police. Evening Post for Negro Police Several of the New York newspapers have taken up the matter and heartily commend such a movement. The New York Evening Post comments so follows: "With the desire of the colored citizens of this city to see more colored men on the police forces, we are impressed as heartily as did Acting Mayor McGowan, in his recent utterance on the subject. There are Italian and Hebrew policemen, as well as Russian, Irish and German; in fact, all classes have their representation and there are five negroes who are acting as door men and drivers. The colored people contend, and rightly, we believe, that if the sections wholly populated by colored people were patrolled by men of their own race, there would be better order and much less friction. The experience of other cities shows that colored men make excellent officers of the law. In Philadelphia there are no less than 75; Washington, with its 100,000 colored population, has a large number of Negro police, with the value of whose services General Bingham was familiar, and we believe, quite satisfied. New Bedford, Newport, Pittsburgh, Chester, Harrisburg, Boston are other cities in which the experiment has long since worked well. In some of these cities, where there was at first some prejudice, all friction has disappeared. Even the difficult job of policing has been arranged satisfactorily, and for detecting crime among colored people. Negroes have provided comparatively as useful as was Lieutenant Petrosino among his countrymen. Of course, the negroes themselves must qualify by taking the examinations; they have been deterred by the belief that life would be made hard for them if they joined, and because the Police Commissioners, exercising their option under the Civil Service law, have not appointed of late those Negroes who passed the examinations." Many Letters Received by Rev. Ran- Rev. Ransom has received numerous letters from people living in and out of the city since his plea for negro police was published in The Age. Following are two of the letters: Atlantic City, N. J. August 12, 1909 Rev Reverdy C Ransom Dear Sir and Brother—Pardon the liberty I take in addressing you, but after reading in The Age of your grand and noble discourse in pleading for justice for the good and wel-behaved citizens of New York City against race roots and "mobism" caused by the worthless negroes who break the law, it would be a great piece of justice for the good white citizens to appoint colored men on the police force in the Negro districts. There could be much good done with the right kind of colored police. They are needed in all cities where there is a so-called "black belt." I am at present a member of the Atlantic City police force, and we have on it fifteen members of my race. If New York will accept colored men, I would like to be one of the number. I have had some experience in the detective business May our Father in Heaven bless and crown your good efforts. Hoping your efforts will be crowned with success. I am. Brooklyn, N. Y. August 14, 1809. Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom. Dear Sir—After reading your article in The Age in reference to colored police, I think it is a good idea of yours. I remember when there were no Italianis on the force. A committee of Italianis made it known to him that if he increased the force in Italian districts it would do much to put down lawlessness among their people, from the streets to the crowds. I know who they are, and who they are on the ground. 200. In Boston, they are the beloved police, which have been the best in New York. There have been many cases of them, but only two are still in the city of mines, where many of them are in a section of Hibernia, near South Brooklyn. The mines are in East New York section. Wishing you have a good day. BY WILLIAM MCKINS. BRAVENY OF THE WESTMAN Womde Shrew, Womde Shrew, After Being Removed from the Public Domain, Special to Two New York newspapers. PETERSON, F. F. - Major Smith, a giant bear, is killed by the Malleable Iron. Catherine stands the plant, was on his knees, when last Thursday, when he was by a mob of fifty armed men, killed Stephen. Howard, a giant, for the leaders, and remembered, is before his gun was fired, was beaten almost to death. "No sort of education of the Negro race will eliminate the necessity of that virility which hits hard, shows straight and has a stomach for a fight. And as a strikebreaker, at least, the Negro is developing just such virility, or displaying it. He sees that the right to work is worth fighting for. He meets force with force. And in so doing he wins respect as well as sympathy." CONFERENCE ADJOURNS A. M. E. Zion Church Has Appropriated $186,433 During the Year. The Connectional Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church adjourned Monday evening after a successful session. Reports from the various departments showed the church to be in a good working condition. During the year $186,439 was appropriated. Among the items included the appropriations were $60,000 for education, $20,000 for missionary purposes, $20,000 for widows and orphans and supernumerated preachers, and $20,000 for church extension. The Brotherhood Insurance showed a balance of more than $6,000. Bishops Clinton and Morrison, together with Reverends R. A. Morrison and Jacobs, were elected delegates to the Scotland Conference in 1910. Bishop Clinton was elected presiding officer for the next six months, and Bishop Alexander Walters, Secretary. A vote of thanks was given Pastor R. M. Bolden and his church for the splendid entertainment and care of guests. Evansville, Ind., was selected as the next place of meeting. Compulsory Education Measure De- fected in Georgia. ATLANTA, GA., August 16.—Gov. Brown's pet measure advocating compulsory education in Georgia, was defeated in the Legislature last week, due to the speech made by a member who stated that such a law would mean the increased usefulness of the Negro in this state. The view was expressed by the speaker that the passage of a compulsory law would affect Negro children as much as the whites, and that the results would be beneficial to the Negro population and more to the detriment of the whites. Gets $200 From George Vanderbilt. Gets $200 From George Vanderbilt. ASHVILLE, N. C., Aug. 16—When George Logan, Negro freeman, saw the private car of George W. Vanderbilt attached to his train, he wrote a note telling Mr. Vanderbilt that his people had sold part of the land bought for Biltmore estate and that he would lose a little home he is leaving unless he got $400 quick. The note was received by the car. Later Logan was asked to go to New York and explain matters to George Vanderbilt. He went. He told friends he was notified by the Biltmore estate to call to get the money. ORK AGE. JUDGE SAM'L B. ADAMS Belleves Attempt to Shut Up Avenues of Employment to Negroes Contrary to Interests of Whites Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. SAVANNAH, Ga., Aug. 14—One of the principal speakers of the educational mass meeting, held here a few evenings ago at St. Phillip's Monumental A. M. E. Church, was Judge Samuel B. Adams, who, in discussing the subject, "Some Things that May Be Said, Done that Will Aid Friendly Relations Among the Races," denounced any attempt to keep the Negro from securing work on account of his color. Judge Adams said in part: "One of the worst and meanest forms of injustice in evinced in the disposition to shut up avenues of employment to negroes solely because of their color. Industrial boycots, in cases where the employment is proper, do not involve the slightest real injustice to white men, and is no wise inconsistent with any tolerable view as to the dominance of the white race. This disposition is more noticeable in the North than in South. But it is not without its manifestation, in own section, such a disposition becomes general and pronounced. Negroes would be driven into vagrancy, pauperism and crime, and then punished when they may be only the victims of wrong and oppression. Such a course is not only mean, heartless and pitiless, but it is unwise and contrary to the best interests of the white race. If I were wholly indifferent to the date of the Negroes and solely concerned with that of the white race, I would selfish as well as on higher grounds oppose every form of injustice in the Negro race. The reflex action of intimidation of essentially deterritorializes the race or man guilty of injustice, real arrogance, and insults can instill the condemnation of the enlightened public sentiment of the world. He is no real friend of either race, who, as a demagogue, anxious for votes, exploits the Negro and feeds a race prejudice, who denies him his rights, or who shuts the "door of hope" in his face. He is no real friend of either race who tries to make the Negro believe that all white men are his enemies and his oppressors, that he possesses virtues which he does not have, or that there is any hope for his real advancement save on lines of virtue, sobriety, intelligence and thrift. "In the presence of a serious problem like that which confronts us we ought to try to be frank rather than agreeable. The sensible Negro will recognize the faults and limitations of his people, and will, by precept and example, endeavor to remedy the former and lessen the latter. The sensible and fair-minded white man will make allowances for these faults and limitations, and extend a sympathetic and friendly hand to the industrials and worthy Negro who is really trying to elevate himself and his race. If he has a newspaper, he will not be continually calling attention to the bad Negroes and condemning the entire race because some of them are bad. He will call attention to the advancement and progress of the Negro despite the fact that less than fifty years ago they emerged from the bondage of slavery. He will compare the average Negro of to-day, not the average white man, because the latter has behind him centuries of freedom and opportunity, and the comparison is not fair, but note their ancestors of only a few generations back. He can find, if he will, abundant statistics which show real advancement and progress. While reflecting upon the sins of the race, the white man will not forget how they have been sinned against. An admirable way of siding friendly relations is by the encouragement of institutions and causes working for the advancement of the Negro race on lines that are practical, safe and wholesome. I believe that the cause which calls us together this afternoon—the industrial department of the Morris Brown College—merits our aid and encouragement, and I trust that our sympathy with it will be manifested in a practical way." BANQUET TO DR. HALL. Prominent Citizens of "Whidy City" Present Physician With Loving Oup. CHICAGO, Ill., August 16.—On Monday, August 9, a big gathering of Chicago citizens assembled at Masonic Temple in honor of Dr. George C. Hall, of this city. A hundred prominent citizens, men and women, tendered the popular physician a complimentary banquet as a testimonial of their esteem and appreciation. Dr. Hall's broadening reputation as a physician of the higher class, added to his public spirit, is a matter of pride felt by the rank and file of Chicago citizens. His status as a physician is best known and appreciated by his professional-brethren. The citizens' banquet tendered to Dr. Hall on the eve of his departure for Boston to attend the National Convention of Colored Physicians was one of the most interesting and significant social events that has taken place among us for a long time. A. J. Carsy, Dr. J.-W. McDowell, Mr. and M. S. Laing Williams, Dr. Majors, Mr. and Mrs. J, Gray Lucas, Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Barnett, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Cowan, T. W. Swann, L. W. Washington, J. T. Bruington, J. H. Horter, Maj. F. Denison, Col. and Mrs. John R. Marshall, Mra. George C. Boothe, Dr. and Mrs. W. F. Garnett, Prof. Mrs. William Emanuel, Mr. Kemper Harrold, Hon. W. L. Martin, Noah D. Thompson, Dr. and Mrs. Marshall, Mrs. Harris, of Baltimore; Mr. Minniss of Cincinnati; Mr. and Mrs. D. P. French and Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Anderson Dr. Hall's beautiful wife fully shared in the honors of the occasion. After disposing of the tempting menu prepared by Mrs. A. T. Smiley-Ponder, Noah D. Thompson, in a few felicitous words, presented to the honored guest a beautiful gold-lined silver loving up, suitably inscribed with sentiments of good will. McGHEE UNDER FIRE War Veterans Indignant Over Alleged Insult to One of Their Number. Special to The New York ACM. Sr. PAUL, Minn., August 16.—It is reported that F. L. McGhee, a Negro lawyer here, is due for a censure from the Hancock Post of the Union Veterans' Union, which held a meeting a few evenings ago in the old Capitol, at which a committee of three was appointed to draw up resolutions condemning McGhee's actions during the recent triennial session of the United Brothers of Friendship, held in this city. At the time it is charged that McGhee threatened to spit in the face of Custodian L. G. Prendergast, of the old Capitol. Nothing has riled the war veterans as much since the outburst of feelings against the placing of Jefferson Davis' picture on the Battlesip Mississippi as the fraction between Mr. Prendergast and Mr. McGhee. All the members look upon it as a gross insult to one of their members. "It is an outrage," said William M. Ransom, one of the members of the Hancock Post, "and it is entirely uncalled for. All that the Negro is today has been brought about by the G. A. R. The boys of the Union Army gave their blood that the shackles which held the Negro race might fall from their hands and feet and make them free, and when a member of that race so far forgets the gentle manly nature of the enemy, a Civil War veteran, we will not stand for R. Capt. R. L. Gorman, W. M. Ransom and John Boland were appointed a committee to draw up the resolutions to be presented at the next meeting of the Post on August 19. It is expected that the Acker Post, G. A. R. will take similar action tonight at its meeting, and the Logan Post, U. V. U., will follow suit Saturday evening. An effort has been made to have Judge Finehout and Judge Hugo Hanft bring the matter up before the Spanish War veterans. TURN DOWN VICIOUS MEASURE. Alabama Legislature Refuses to Re- fuse Aguittal Aguittal Negroes Holding Office. MONTGOMERY, Ala., August 16.—The first proposed constitutional amendment to be turned down by the Legislature was that of Colonel Sam Will John, providing that Negroes shall not hold office in Alabama. Colonel John declared that he would thus cut off the day when Negroes would become too importunate in their desire to hold office. He explained to the House Committee on Constitutional Amendment that his amendment did not infringe in any way upon the Federal Constitution of the Bill of Rights. It would not, he said, prevent the Negro from holding an office of trust, but only a public office. The committee, however, refused to report the bill to submit the constitutional amendment to the people, and will report it adversely. Artist Wins Honors in Chicago CHICAGO, Ill., August 17.—In a recent issue of the Chicago Tribune appeared a painting, the work of a young Negro artist whose name is William E. Scott. The subject of the painting is "Commerce," and is regarded as a remarkable exhibition of artistic gifts. The young artist has been a student in the Lane Technical High School, and also of the Art Institute of Chicago for several years. He will shortly leave for Paris to enter the studio of O Tanner and Wm Harper, who are both well known in the best art circles. Mr. Scott came from Indianapolis and has worked his way through school by hard work. Twice during his course of study he has won third prize, and this year he was given the "Frederick Magnus Brand" prize for pictorial composition. His pictures may be found in several high schools of this city. His teachers and instructors are very proud of him, and predict for him a spenlid career as an artist. Teenth Taking Part In Woo Game Marked by Many Attempts of Howard and Atkins Factions to Come to an Agreement. Made by B. P. Howard Cannot Two Packages to Call Off Deliberations and Hold Sewerate Meetings Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 15.—Although extended efforts were made at the sixth annual session of the Improved Involvement Protective Order of Elks, held in this city last week, to unite the Athena and Howard factions, the attempt proved a dire failure. Several executive sessions were held, but at each meeting it was apparent that the breach could not be healed in Detroit. The factions were unable to unite owing to one demand made by B. F. Howard, leader of the Howard faction. DR. A. A. KELLOGG Grand Esteemed Lecturing Knight The Atkins people refused to pay $5,000 to B. F. Howard. When it was seen that no agreement could be reached, the two factions proceeded to hold separate meetings. Last Monday morning both factions met at Arbeiter Hall in joint informal session. Dr. James W. Ames presided. Addresses of welcome were made by Mayor Philip Breitmeyer, Prof. J. W. Thompson and R. J. Willis. In his address, Mayor Breitmeyer advised his hearers to change the name of the order in the interest of harmony, as many of the title lodges were prejudiced and anxious to cause trouble. Attorney Frank Wheaton helped to the welcome addresses in behalf of the visiting delegates, and was given a great ovation when he finished. The Unification Committee made its report Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock. From then until Thursday the question of the factions getting together was discussed on every hand. Even W. B. Atkins gave out the statement that he would withdraw as a candidate for reelection as Grand Exalted Ruler, but the Atkins faction refused to even consider paying $5,000 to B. F. Howard to withdraw from the fight. Although the lodges did not agree on terms advanced, it is the belief of all that the Atkins faction comes out of the session much stronger. A number of the lodges in the Howard faction failed to take their leader in demanding that $4,000 be paid him, and have announced that the future they intend to affiliate with the Atkins faction. Among the prominent lodges likely to desert the Howard banner, the Wolverine Lodge, of Detroit; the Coastal Lodge, of Baltimore; and the Cato Lodge, of Philadelphia. The Atkins faction would meet next year in Brooklyn, N.Y., and the Howard faction will meet in Norfolk, Va. The following offices were elected by the Atkins faction: Grand Exalted Ruler, W. R. Atkinson, Hampton, Va.; Attested Leading Knight, O. M. Waller, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Grand Esteemed Loyal Knight, Heary Jones, Chicago; Grand Esteemed Lecturing Knight, Dr. A. K.

Aug. 18.--The Home of the endless girls has lately undertaken a business venture, which, if successful, put it on a footing with the best ties of philanthropic endeavor in Washington. Some time ago the Old Nurses Home at Freedinen's Hospital was purchased by the ladies of the home for the annual sum of $25. The building contains twelve rooms and will be fully furnished by gifts as soon as the ladies notice their readiness to receive them.

For several years Dr. Randolph conducted an intelligence office and identified himself with everything pertaining to the welfare of the race, and in his last step has set the members of his congregation a laudable example of colorado's property in this city. A year ago not over twenty-five were property owners. About six have recently purchased homes and the passion is rising, so we may expect a number to do so soon. The New Enterprise Realty Company, of which the houses are colorado-owned, two houses, and expects to purchase another by the first of next year. Dr. Norman T. Cotton has announced that he will open an office in Paterson about September 14th. He will be the first clerk to populate population in the city, there has not been a colored physician to attend to their wants since Dr. C. P. McClendon moved almost two years ago. It is believed that this ought to be a good place to spend time with Charles M. Walker and family are spending the month of August with his parents in this city.

GEORGIA AND EDUCATION. Georgia elected Hoke Smith, an ordinance, perfect demagogue to the governor's chair. Like demagogues always and everywhere, he proved a pitiful and idiotic curse. But an especial bane had to prove to Georgia, the Negro and the Nation, because he used prejudice against the Negro as his weapon of distraction. But even Georgia grew tired of Hoke Smith, and elected a sensible and capable man before his term expired. Thus electing the quiet and constructive citizen, "Joe" Brown, to officiate the citizens intended to rebuke Smith's madness and to, institute Brown's measures. The Georgia Legislature has just concluded its session, and not one of Governor Brown's recommendations were enacted. This serves to show, as few other recent things have, just how deep are the toils in which the South is enmeshed. Just how slow must be the process of freeing the Negro from her thrildom of ignorance and prejudice is likewise here revealed. Common sense and conservatism, reform and progress, all voted for by a majority of the Georgia electorate, have been flouted by the law-making vermin who dread most the light of intelligence. The Georgia Legislature refused to pass the compulsory education bill, not only because they thought that "education makes the Negro useless," but as well because they know that a vote for popular intelligence is a vote for self destruction. There is no need of the good citizens of Georgia and the Negro becoming discouraged. Compulsory education and the other crying needs of Georgia can only be compromised by the Georgia Legislature. The people's will and progress must ultimately prevail. The Chinese say, "Time and patience will turn the multitude into silk." Time and patience will turn the multitude into Georgia. THE COURAGE OF THE NEGRO. Major Smith, the giant Negro Pittsburgh strikebreaker, who killed one striker and wounded four others last week defending his right to work, only demonstrated again the often doubted蓄货 of the Negro. "On his way he work," so the press report reads, "he was attacked by a mob of fifty strikers. A stone hit Smith on the head, felling him. Instantly a dozen strikers were on him kicking and beating him with clubs and stones. Smith rose on one elbow, and, getting his revolver, 'began to shoot.' These instances of Negro bravery occur in every strike where the Negro is used as a strikebreaker. When applied to the Negro, the statement of President Eliot is literally true: "The seab is a hero." The North has received its erroneous impression of the courage of the black man from garbled Southern press reports. The South is in no wise deceived. Despite the intimidation of centuries, the white Southerner will not meet the Negro single handed. That the Negro has not lost heart, has not lost courage to defend himself, his family and his home, knowing with reigned bitterness the overwhelming odds against him, is indeed one of the most hopeful signs of his future. We have always counselled peace, and we always shall counsel peace. But there are times when the Negro must attend all that men hold dear at the spell of his life. He must then prove his manhood. His inalienable rights to life, liberty, happiness and that more recently infringed right to work should not be exemplified upon with impunity. In another column we publish a letter from one of the leading business men in Burlington, Vermont, giving the facts regarding the stories which have been sent out from that city regarding the reception of the Tenth Cavalry. This letter within itself shows the importance of the Negro race having strong newspapers, which can protect their interests and at the same time find the truth and make the truth known. --- BROOKLYN'S BRAVE CONGRESSMAN We have just learned through one of the officers of Howard University of the magnificent and successful fight made by Congressman Fitzgerald in the recent session of Congress in behalf of Howard University. The Abe is a Republican paper, but utterly the people in all par. SUPERVISORS IN THE SOUTH. In Mississippi, where the Negroes outnumber the whites, President McKinley appointed two Negro supervisors. President McKinley recognized that to appoint all whites and no Negroes under such circumstances would be grossly unfair and not so likely to conserve justice in the taking of the census. In varying measures this good and just policy obtained throughout the South. We hope that President Taft will recognize this same vital phase of the situation. In Mississippi, in 1000, Charles Banks and W. E. Mollison, two capable and representative Negroes were appointed. The results of their work were eminently satisfactory. There are in every Southern state in like manner many Negroes disqualified neither by partisanship nor incompetence. Especially in such states as Mississippi and Georgia do we believe that the best interests both of the work and of the races demand that President Taft appoint a proportionate number of Negro supervisors. --- NEW YORK NEGRO POLICEMEN. The approval of the Acting Mayor last Wednesday at the Zion Connectional Council of the Negro's present efforts for representatives on the police force is most timely and welcome. The Negro has had a deep and deterring suspicion that politics played the important part in the selection of the policemen. Now to be assured by the city government that the Negro passing the examination will be treated with absolute fairness will doubtless encourage numbers of qualified Negroes to try for the force. The highest service of Negro policemen in New York at this time would be, as in Chicago, the ceasing of the clashes between the blacks and the police. The appearance of white police brutality in a Negro community either by a single officer or a platoon is an almost irresistible challenge to race feeling and attack. It is the same with other races. The Negro under a Negro policeman realizes fully that the effort is to preserve law and order. The cooperation of the better Negroes is readily granted the Negro policeman. The fact of the policeman's being privy through his family and acquaintances to Negro offenders is another deterrent to Negro vice and crime. The feeling of white police partiality often induces the wronged Negro to seek satisfaction in personal vengeance. As none other could so ferret out Negro crime, so none other than a Negro policeman could so avoid the offensive excess of indiscriminate surveillance and arrest. In short, none knowing the Negro like the Negro, no other guardian of the law is so competent to deal with him. Not only because of the interests of law enforcement; not only because the 100,000 Negroes in the greater city have formed almost distinct communities, but because as well of the little-dreamed-of amount of tax the Negro pays, he should have his quota of police. The best interests of the race and city alike demand Negro policemen. --- The proposition of 200,000 Negroes for the French Army comes like a bolt out of the clear blue. But is it any wonder that Europe should realize the value of the Negro soldiers having had General Dod in the Chinese expedition and having heard of San Juan Hill and Fort Pillow. The soldierly elements so mix in the Negro that eventually all the world will proclaim him a man. We have nothing but words of praise for the work and efforts of the Zion Connectional Council meeting in this city last week.

Cutting off your nose to spite your face seems mild and sensible self-defacement in comparison, but on second thought it must be remembered that the legislators also want their succeeding generations to be after their kind. --- The court house built in 1794, in Washington-Mason County, Kentucky, in which "Uncle Tom" of Uncle Tom's Cabin was sold, was struck by lightning and destroyed in the fire. The RISE OF MOSAIC TEMPLARS. Hon. J. E. Buah and Late C. W. Kestas Founders. — Tremecedous Annual Bunales. Hot Springs, Ark. August 17—The State grand lodge and the national committee of management of the National Order of the Mosaic Templars of America convened in the 27th annual session in the city of Hot Springs, Ark. July 17, 2013. The various officers showed that the order is in good condition from every point of view. This order was organized 27 years ago by the Hon J. E. Bush, the present receiver of the United States Land Office at Little Rock, and the late C. W. Keartea, through the public with one lodge through the public with the deference of the founders, the order has one of the largest and strongest organizations of its kind operated by Negroes in this country. It now has 1,200 subordinate lodges and 25,000 members scattered throughout the United States. In promoting the lodges met with every conceivable opportunity. The country at large, at that time, looked upon the South much as the ancients did Nazareth, hence any move that had its origin below the Mason and Dixon line to meet strong opposition. However, the lodges are be downed by these things, and before many years many who "Came into the order to scoff, remained to pray." the national grand master, William Alexander, who succeeded the late G. W. Kirkland, the grand master, M. H. Harrison, who showed that the order is progressing at a rapid rate. The national grand master had last finished an itinerary through the Bates College, Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, ansas. On this tour he organized two State grand lodges, 72 subordinate lodges, took into the order 3,000 members, put in treasury $3,750, and saved in the adjustment of endowment claims $1,200 J. E. Bush, who has served as national secretary since the founding of the order, and the State secretary, Mrs. Jennie Miller, submitted exhaustive reports. One of the most prominent features of the reports was the thorough system of accounting, bringing up with the business of the order, "the捉cs," were entirely eliminated in the reports. Every item was properly recorded and every cent accounted for forty-five thousand dollars were collected and about $5,000 added to the账. In commenting on his report J. E. Bush stated that insurance experts had figured that 1 per cent of the insurance in force was a safe cash reserve for fraternal companies to keep on hand, and he ad dicated the policy of 20 years. The wisdom of the policy was a reason for the report of the insurance commissioner of Arkansas. The membership of the Monile Templars of America represented only 1 per cent of the total membership. Negro orders doing business in the State were assets represented 65 per cent. The order is now preparing to erect a National Temple, which will cost near $50,000. The order has grown beyond the exclusive sick and burial features and is now a giant business institution. The services of ten people are required to keep up the work at headquarters. The office alone averages 10,600 letters per year. Two Negroes are employed by the order on a ranging from $100 to $000 per year. In developing the business side of the order the fraternal side has not been neglected.

NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE NOTES Although, the National Negro Business League is in no way directly connected with the Negro school at Tuscaloosa, it is involved in the spirit of that institution, and in a different way and on a broader scale, has the same sort of work. Its purpose has been to direct the attention of the Negro to the opportunities which are open to them and in business; to encourage their growth and in business; to organize in every part of the country local organizations which will impress upon the masses of the people the im- pression their money, of buying homes, and of this kind of improving the quality of their labor; making it more intelligent and more reliable. THE STATE LEAGUE At the present time, there are more than 400 local business leagues in different parts of the country, most of them in the Southern States. Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri, and Texas have State organizations, which have annual meetings, make special studios and the conditions of the Negro people in their territory, and through the medium of speakers, the newspapers, and other materials carry in a campaign of education along the economic lines. For example, during the two years members of the State business leagues of Mississippi and Arkansas, headed by the President, Booker T. Washington, of the National League, and the Representative Negro business men, have been through these several States in order to conditions and encourage the progress of the people not merely in business, but in their churches and schools as well. In President Washington, under the auspices of the National League, made a tour of the State of Mississippi, visiting every principal city whichtained any large proportion of colored people, during which he spoke to the people sometimes in suburbs, where he should then suddenly large to hold the audience as others in the open air or from the end of the car. pric, the best organised and most enterprising of the State. Business Leagus is that of Mississippi, which is to occupy all of the Thursday morning session with an account of what has been done of Mississippi, as indisputable and through their business organizations Mississippi has at the present time, eleven Negro banks, and which is a larger number than those of any other State, though Virgil B. Jackson has the largest number of banks, has the largest established in the United States and considerably larger invested capital. There are several Negro towns in the United States, where no white man lives there all the business as well as the local businesses of Negroes. The largest of these is Bole Indian Territory, but the oldest and best established is Mound Bayou, Miss. Among the delegates present at the meeting is Isaiah T. Montgomery, the founder of the Charles Banks, the cashier of the Bank of Mound Bayou and leading Negro business man of Mississippi. FOR SEVEN NEGRO BANKS. An indication of the influence of the National Business League in stimulating enterprise among the Negro people is the establishment of two years ago, when the League was started. It is now one of the banks in the United States. At the present time there are no less than forty-seven such banks in active operation and all but one are in the Southern States. There have been many fifty-six Negro banks in existence. Several of these have since gone out of business. Only one two or three failed, and one or perhaps two cases did depend on money as a result of these failures. Three years ago at Atlanta there was organized, in connection with the National League, a Bank Association, which, under the leadership Pettiford, president of the Alabama Penny Savings and Loan Company, has done considerable to assist in the organization of banks in cities where there seemed to be no interest in the business. Mr. Pettiford's bank at Birmingham, Ala., is the second bank now in existence to be started in the United States. It started in the United States with a capital of two thousand dollars, $100,000, and is one of three other Negro banks in the city of Birmingham, Ala. SOME OF THE NOTED CHARACTERS Work World. Isaiah Montgomery was chosen to take part in the dedication ceremonies of the Lincoln Home at Franklin, Ky., last spring. FARMER'S CO-OPERATIVE ASSOCIATION One of the most interesting figures at the present meeting is H. L. Smith, an office, Texas, who is head of a farmers' active association in Texas which has some membership over 10,000 members. H. L. Smith used newspaper in Charleston, S. C., but when he came unprofitable in that State, he went to Texas as a school teacher. While he then he began to see that what the colorado needed was not politics, but some instruction in living. While he was still a teacher he formed an association to encourage the colored people in the town where he was a teacher to improve their homes. From that he went on and organized the Farmers' Improvement Association, a local society in different parts of the State established a paper through which he sought to encourage farmers to save their crops, purchase lands, and improve the charitable societies. Two years ago this association, which he head, established an agricultural school. While this school has not gone very far yet in the ordinary methods of instruction, the association has done much to improve the conditions of the Negro farmers throughout the State by establishing kind of traveling lectureship. It employs one and sometimes two speakers to travel through the State giving simple and practical farmers on methods of farming, on housekeeping, and teaching them, in short, how to live. H. L. Smith is one of the colored members of the Jeanes Fund Bonn, of which President H. L. Smith is also a member, which was established years ago by Miss Janees, of Philadelphia, to school in improving the Negro country schools throughout the Southern States. NEGRO TOWN OF MOUND BAYOU Mound Bayou, which was started in the wilderness some twenty years ago by the Negro pioneer, under the leadership of Isaiah Kintgomery, is now a town of about eight thousand habitants. In the colony surrounding the town, where Negroes own over 30,000 there is a population of a thousand and a half men. During the present year a company been organized, of which the stock is very largely held by Negroes throughout the 50's, cotton seed oil mill, to cost $40,000. The mill at the present time is nearly completed. LEAGUE NEWS NOTES. Scott Bend, of Madison, Ark., a dry and lively little man, is one of the speakers before the League this year. He is the largest Negro farmer in Arkansas. Among the other men present who are farming on a scale enough to be called business men are C. A. Noppen of Lynchburg, Ohio; Enoch B. Ferriday, Ohio; J. C. Myers, of Temple Texas, and Benjamin Carr, of Hartsville, Tennessee. One of the most successful merchants present in Victor Tulane, who runs a model grocery store at Montgomery, Ala. Several years ago, when the Business League was still in its infancy, Victor Tulane was amusing story of how he went into business building a canoeacle building with a capital of fifty or seventy dollars, something like his own store, live dollars. Now he owns building, a handsome pressed brick building, a busy corner in Montgomery, where he does a business amounting-to something over $20,000 a year. C. F. Johnson, who is head of the Mutual Insurance Company, of Mobile, Ala., is another member of the League who gave up politics for business. He used to be secretary of the Collector of Customs at Mobile, where Nelson presided president was elected he lost his job. He tried to hold on as an elevator man, but the new Collector discovered him there and removed him. Now he is one of the most well-to-do colored men in Alabama, and he should be worth not less than $100,000. One of the biggest Negro enterprises in Tennessee, and one of the largest in the United States, is the National Baptist Publishing Company, which is represented at the League this year by its founders, H. H Boyd, this book publishes all the school leaflets, etc., for all the Negro Baptist churches throughout the United States. Negro Baptists number over 1,500,000 throughout the country at the present time, and have nearly as many churches as the other Negro denominations put together. --- The permanence and influence of the Negro Business League is illustrated by the fact that it now has 114 life members represented by 22 Storrs. The membership collected through these life memberships are used to make up a permanent fund for the purpose of carrying on the work of the League. Among these life members are eight women There is one woman represented on the Business League program this year. Miss N. H. Burroughs, of Louisville. She spoke on the success of the Negro Calen-Burgess Company, which publishes Negro calen books, the issue of advertising Negro business concerns PRAISE FOR BLACK REGIMENT What Their Commanding Officer Says of These Soldiers. To the Editor of The Republican Were it not for the serious aspect of the case the recent flurry about the placing of a Negro regiment at Fort and Alamo would be amusing, but such ill-treatment as have been made in some papers most result in a measured amount of evil The regiment has just completed a world巡逻, and in its recent voyage the regiment has been sent to Colombia, Colombo Aden, Calco Port St. Alexandra, Malta and Gibraltar, and in every port their soldierly hearing and excellent department brought admiring remarks from the soldiers who saw them, it is perfectly safe to say that they compared very favorably with any of the foreign troops we saw. Of course, there were some breaches of direct order by the regiment, any regiment, white or black but I believe am right in saying from an experience of nearly thirty years as an officer of white troops that no white regiment in the United States had built itself my better than did the Tentacles. Historical or perhaps unlucky misstatements can only encourage, if feeling or be the direct cause of it, if it does not exist. No one is inclined to be blinded with another when the latter deliberately picks career or gives an affront without just cause. On behalf of the regiment I wish to thank you and all of the papers who have been fair-minded enough to take us for what we are worth, and give us an opportunity to continue our good record. I am proud of the fact that it was my good fortune to command this, the first black regiment to make the voyage around the globe. In its epoch-making journey PR 54 WASHINGTON URGES LEAGUE (Continued from Page 1.) that are to come are to bring us, in that we have a degree of success and encouragement The greater part of this progress has taken place here in our Southern States, right in the midst of the people who once owned our bodies. Here, let me mention a growth could not have taken place until we had in each one of these Southern states a few minutes of a white men who have lived in us and stood by us and stimulated and encouraged us. The Negro who lives in the South, as well as the one who lives in the North, should learn to love his home and the community in which he lives, and take as much interest in promoting its welfare as any other citizen. A few days ago, in conversation with a gentleman who has traveled JOHN H. HARRIS widely in Africa and in other parts of the world including the United States, he remarked to me that the Negro in America was at least one hundred years ahead of the Negro anywhere else in the world. We, ourselves, as well as our neighbors, do not always appreciate the growth that is going on among us, so gradual is it. Races, too often, inhibited our ability to the temptation of notting their triumphs and disadvantages and overlooking their successes and their opportunities. In an increasing degree we must be an optimistic race. There is no hope for a despairing individual' or a despairing race. "Since our last annual meeting, I have traveled through the States of Mississippi, South Carolina and portions of Virginia and West Virginia for the purpose of seeing for myself the actual condition of our race. Everywhere I noted progress—marvelous progress in many cases. Much of this progress is due to the national guidance furnished by the National Negro Business League. This organization has succeeded and will succeed because it has a constructive program and not a destructive one. A constructive program is the only one that will hold men together and make work for the common cause. In the Southern States which I visited I found a cohesiveness and oneness of purpose which was most im-piring. Georgia Railroad Declalon Important Georgia Hall Road Declinaion Important "Before we became a free people there were those who freely predicted that the Negro tree would disappear because it was said, in a state of freedom the tree could neither shelter, clothes or feed itself. But more than forty years we have been free and except in the case of local special calamities we have never yet called upon the nation for a dollar with which to deliver the doctor or feed us. To have gained this result is glow within us. But as I have already indicated, we have gone further. It we have gone within the last forty years in the most of all the testing and trying problems with which we have been confronted, I what now, we now have within the last forty years. But we must remember that the South Carolina university we have had a pretty tree to hold in the future we must prop up it in the shop, in the store, in the kitchen. His competition must be met in his mentor nor by agency to face preserver, but by superior service, to supervisefulness. If we can do this, we will hold all that we have and gain success. In our Southern country no man who can do what the community wants needseek employment in vain. On the other hand, employment will seek him." I have just remarked that the Negro has friends in our Southern country who mean to stand by him. And here let me add that we should stand by this. This is no lille assertion. In so far as the Negro, America is concerned, if you ask me about my opinion has been the most important event within recent years, I would state that it has not been in the election of a good and just man as President of the United States, as important as that but it has been the fact that in one of the Southern States when the question was raised on one of the Southern railroads to as whether the Negro fireman was to have a fair chance to earn his daily bread, that white men not from Massachusetts or New York white men who live in Georgia and Alabama decided that the man with black skin for equal service should have equal with the man of white skin, decided in word, that the Negro should have without question a chance for all time in Southland to earn his daily bread. It remains, then, for us as a race to back up his decision not by idle words but by the daily service which we render in every community where the Negro resides. The question, then, to you, the successful representatives of our race in nearly every pair of the United States, will you see to it that this is done when you return to your homes? Four years from now, or in 1013, the Negro will have been free in America fifty years. It is proper, it seems to me, for this organization to initiate and forward a movement which has already been suggested by individuals, to hold somewhere the country an exhibition for the celebration of this event. If such an expedition is presented it should be carefully and well planned for. It should be in the hands of able and successful individuals, and should be so organized and conducted as to indicate by tangible and visible treatment my growth that has taken place tremendously educational, moral and religious in the period during the half-century of his freedom. I strongly urge that the executive committee of this organization or some A. proper body connected with it, take under serious consideration the wisdom of arranging for such an exposition. Visit of Liberian Commission. "Among the important events of the past twelve months I cannot return from calling attention to the fact that our race in America has been called upon to lead a helping hand to our brothers in Liberia, Africa. We can further congratulate ourselves that this call has been repaired to be so timely and that the secretaries and members of this organization. Mr. Iment Iment was appointed as the North African of the commission to make the war in Liberia, and carries the good will of the government in their brotherhood on the West Coast. He has put ransacked buildings built to take the future with wisdom, courage and patience, thus reflected credit upon his efforts in upon our race and commitment." In our haste and ambition to grow in industry and commercial life, we must not overlook the more fundamental things in our organization may accumulate. How many dollars are an important organization may accumulate. How many business enterprises may be responsible for failure and success will be the result of our unless we take along with many properties the underlying principles of moral righteousness among individuals and as organizations man with blackened character man with morals, who has no record for the kind of company he keeps who little regard for his word is not the ideal man who in the long run will prosper in any business enterprise We cannot secure morality from business. The man who tries to do this will go into failure. The man who gets into the business high moral principles and practices in doing so will reflect credit CONCURRENT RESOLUTIONS, 2008 NEW YORK STATE LEGISLATURE PROPOSITION NUMBER ONE STATE OF NEW YORK.

WALTON THERE certainly was some class to the minstrel show given last Thursday evening at Sulzer's Harlem Casino under the auspices of the Colored Vauduleville Benevolent Association. It would have been a wise move on the part of the members of the white minstrel company, now playing at one of the large theatres in New York, to have attended the performance. They could have secured much information that they have served them in good order during their apprentices in Manhattan. According to several old minstrel men, who sat in a box with a certain well-known, organization, many minstrel tricks of former years were pulled off in which Irwin Jones played a prominent part. Never before in the history of theatricals has such a large body of colored performers assembled to participate in a minstrel show. On the program were the names of some of the leading colored vaudevillians of the day, as well as the oldest and most highly-respected performers in the show business. It was Sam Lucas as Interlocutor an assemblage of which any one could felt justly proud. Each minstrel band appeared, minus cork, in a dress suit. The choral numbers furnished by the entire company deserve special mention. In the first edition of the minstrel show, Charles H. Moore acted as intermortor; George Hamilton, Walter Cummley and Paul C. Floyd as tambos, William Brown, "Pick" Hill and Arthur Wilson as bones. The first numbler was an opening chorus—"Dinah-Boh Buddy"—by the full company. William Brown started the applause getting by singing "Sweetest Gal in Town," and was followed by Adolph Henderson in a solo solo—"Roses Bring Dreams of You." He was compelled to respond an encore. The same came Walter Cummley, who sang "Dame Among the Sugar Cane" with plethora of ginger, and found himself to repeat his rendition. Al Rowsen "have down" on his song—"Good Night; Beloved" and kept up the record of responding to encores. George Hamilton played the first edition by singing "Mess Me in Rose Time, Rosie," and did some good dancing. Frank De Lyons was interlocutor in the second edition. George Williams showed that he is yet a singer and dancer of no little vitality in his song, "Five O'clock Tee Willie Hines, who has not appeared in public since his retirement from the stage, is a member of the Twilight Quarter twenty years ago, was given a great recognition when he stepped forward to sing, and called a "has been" by any means. The Harper, with his usual good nature, eccentric dancing, closed the second edition, singing "When the Dick-ti-doens to Town," When Sam Lucas, man of the colored theatrical profession, was introduced as interlocutor for the time edition, he received such an ovation that he had to bow time and time again in acknowledgment of the high tribute paid him. Dan Michaels established himself a big favorite with the large audience, and was forced to sing more songs and do more dancing than any other minister on the program. He was followed by Miss Farnise Wise, who pleasingly tendered a soprano solo. Irving Jones, the man who orchestrated the songs and knew how to then delilah with two funny numbers. The ministers first part closed with the singing of "Easy Old Place in Yankee Land" by chorus. It is seldom that one sees such dancing in one evening as was presented in belio. With such acts as Davis & Walley, the Brittania and Clermonto & Miner, the bill there is no need of dwelling length on that capabilities. What they can do is known by almost every theatreregoer. Another feature of the evening was the grand march of the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association. Every member taking part in the march, including the band men of the association, was in a dress suit. The vaudevillians were ap- A plauded as they marched around the hall with the band playing and the other marchers singing the song of the organization. Of course, there was dancing. The minstrel show was such a success that Bob Slater, chairman of the Arrangement Committee, has announced that a similar entertainment will be given next season.

Always first with information concerning what the performers of both America and abroad are doing and intend to do. Dear friend, you can invisible record! During the thirteen seasons, 'Black Pattie' (Mimi Bissieretta Jones) has starred in the 'Black Pattie' Troubadour, and has missed but two performances on all that time, and they were mistreated. This statement of facts appear once, as remarkable when one takes into consideration that the 'Black Pattie' Company is known strictly as a one-night stand, allow, and that in the thirteen seasons less than one-fourth of the time has been devoted to one-week stands. Now, if you want to know the difference between playing one-night stands and one-week stands, ask any performer with whom you are personally acquainted. Figuring, thus, the "Black Pattu Troubadour's" have averaged forty-two weeks to a season, and that seven performances were given each week, it would mean that "Black Pattu" has taken part in 3,820 performances out of 3,822 Manager Rudolph Voelckel is very proud of the record held by his star, and asserts that there is not another performer in the business who can claim such distinction. Despite the strenuous life which necessarily goes with playing one-night stands, "Black Pattu" enjoys the best health, being to excess to care she takes of girls while she walks the road. Her example could be stimulated by many of our performers—male and female who are not compelled to play more than a dozen one-night stands during a season. New Name: Les Pattu Organization. The day of the "Black Patti Troubadours" is past. There will not be a company by that name this season. In the future the great singer will head a company to be known as the Black Patti Musical Company. The changing of the name has been brought about, owing to a controversy existing between Messrs Voelckel and Nolan, who until a few months ago, were partners. For thirteen seasons they successfully managed the "Black Patti Troubadour's" during which time many prominent comedians were members of the company, among whom might be mentioned: Bob Cole, of Cole & Johnson, and the late Ernest Hogan. Toward the middle of the past season the heads of the show became involved in a controversy over the routing of the company. At the time Manager Voelckel wanted the organization to tour California and the West, while his partner had his on the now playing in Kansas Oklahoma on the tour. Voelckel won his point, but the other member of the firm severed his connections with the "Black Patti Troubadour's" he taking the management of the "Dandy Dixie Minstrels," another organization managed by Voelckel and Nolan. It was agreed between the two to have their differences settled by the National Association of Producing Managers, of which they are members, but later it was decided to have the case adjudicated in the courts. In the meantime, Mr. Voelckel has the "Black Path" organization, and has secured a personal contract with Mme. Jones for a term of three years. Passing Away of Old-style Colored Show. Just what Williams & Walker, Cole & Johnson and Ernest Hogan have done relative to raising a high standard for other colored shows to go by is pleasingly noted in the announcement by Manager Voelckel that this season he will for the first time star "Black Patti" in a musical comedy. For years an effort has been made by many of our prominent colored performers to induce the managers of the famous singer to put her out in a show that would do her credit. Whether the cast and scenic effects will come up to the expectations of the hitherto advocated of modern stagercraft is yet to be seen. However, we all rejoice that "Black Patti" is to have a vehicle which will not consist of a first part, an oil and an afterpiece. There is no more conclusive evidence of the signs of the times than the capitulation of Voelckel to ap-to-date stage methods (I call them theatre goers in the South and West who are not favored with visits by the large colored shows will be more enlightened as to what is going on in the theatrical world. In the past it has been a source of deep regret that the large colored companies have been unable to go south of Louisville "A Trip to Liberia" is to be the name of the new musical piece in which "Black Patti" will star. It will be in three acts, and Jolly John Larkins will do the principal comedy. The book is being written by J. Ed. Greene and John Larkins, and Joe Jordan will furnish the music. Rehearsals will start about September 8 in Topela, Kans., and the new show will probably open in that city after three weeks of rehearsal. "The Black Patti Troubadours," during the thirteen seasons of the company's existence, exerted no little influence over musical minds of hundreds in the Soul. The writer is pleased to inform the reader of the antiquated policies of the theater industry show in the business, and that our white managers have awakened to the chancy environment that with the changing of the times, or more they change their methods of doing business, whether it be by the colors or by the IN THE SPORTING WORLD (BY LESTER A WALTON) Philadelphia Giants Defent Leand Giants. ON Monday, August 9, the Philadelphia Giants opened their Western tour, playing the Leand Giants of Chicago, in Detroit. In the series it was the East against the West, and the Easterners came out first, winning two of the three games. In the first game the Leand Giants won by the score of 1 to 1. The Philadelphia Giants won by a score of three runs in the sixth minn, allowing the players from the third by one. In the third three runs Ray Wilson, a team of the Quaker team, was compelled to return from the game with a badly wounded foot, which will keep him off the diamond for a number of weeks. With "Bugs" Hayman in the box in the second game, the Philadelphia Giants easily detached the Island Giants by the score of 5 to 1. But four hits were secured off of Hayman's delivery. So stated was the big pitcher of the Philadelphia time over his success of Tuesday that the following day he asked to be allowed to pitch, and again defeated the Chicago team this time winning by the score of 9 to 1. A triple play by Lloyd, Frances and James, and a home run by James with the bases full were the features of the game. The scores FIRST GAME.
