L. XXII. No. 3. CHOOLS OF LIBERIA Discussed by F. Wilcom- Ellegor, Instructor at Cape Palmas Says Leaders of Education Are Introducing Practical Methods and Raising Standard. New Appropriated $2,600 for Support of 102 Public Schools in Republic During Present Scholastic Year. In a letter to The Age relative to practical education in Liberia, F. Wilcom-Ellegor, for the past four years instructor in theoretical and practical botany and agriculture at Epiphany Hall, Cape Palmas, Liberia, makes the charge that an article written in Liberia which appeared in The Age several months ago under the caption "Practical Education Is Greatly Needed by the People of the Little Negro Republic," was an unjustifiable thrust at the public schools of that country. Statistics are given showing that $26,000 has been appropriated by the Government this year for the support of the public schools of which there are 102 in the republic, and it is claimed that the leaders of education, despite the difficulties they are encountering, are seeking to introduce new methods with a view to raising the standard of education. The letter: It is a truism that criticism cures; that it is profitable, is beneficial and is good; and that order certain conditions criticism is to be desired. But this has reference to wholesome and amplejudice criticism, that which is digressed with an iron sense, to the good of others, and that criticism is an important fact and that the truth is the most important of the facts and nothing but facts. If his object is for the betterment of the community in which he lives or happens to be visiting there would be found minds capable of receiving a candid opinion on their affairs and of appreciating the spirit in which the opinion or suggestions may be conched. But it is a contrariety when the critic is biased, ignorant of facts, misguided and presumptuous. His opinion then is nothing less than rancor. Educational Awareness of Deliciences. There is a philosophy which says: "Know thyself," and the poet John Burns said: "Wad some power the gifie gie us, to see ourselves as others see us." In applying these quotations to our educational system in the Republic of Liberia in an honest and straightforward way, we give the following conclusion: (a) That the leaders of education in Liberia are perfectly aware of the needs and deficiencies in their educational system, and that in proportion to their resources, demands and obstacles, are making attempts, both for the introduction of new methods, and for raising the standard of education generally. (b) They know where the insufficiency lies, but it is not possible for them to see themselves in the light of black spectacles, through which some would focus them. Our educational leaders are not void of the gift of seeing our system in the proper light. As a proof of this statement I give a quotation from the Silver Trumpet, January, 1909, the organ of the Episcopal Church in Liberia. The article from which the quotation is taken has reference to one of the largest schools in the country, and to which school is attached an industrial department, and I happen to be the superintendent of that department. The article Epiphany Hall has been for years steadily becoming too small for the successful execution of the work of a school of its nature. We still call it by the humble name of school, although, as a matter of fact, we come under the classification of a collegiate or a second grade school, in which there is also a well-known theological department, since the foundation of the school—and in view of the curriculum carried through at the hall, we can assert without fear a frontradiation that Epiphany Hall does the work both of a school and college. There has been a great demand for admission for the past two years, but owing to a lack of accommodation a goodly number has to be refused a term after term. Beside accommodation we need certain appliances that would tend to develop our efforts in general and make us an up-to-date institution. We have out-grown our equipments and cannot go on overlooking the needs of the times. Half of the difficulty would be met if sufficient funds could be secured for the erection of a separate chapel on the grounds near the hall. The chapel has been recently renovated, but as it is under our dormitory we still consider it an undesirable place for the worship of the great King, and as a training institution we want a few impressive things and none could be better than a neat and well appointed The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text.

In the April. 19 issue of THE New York, Act, an article appeared under the heading of PRACTICAL EDUCATION. In December, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF THE LATIN AMERICA REPUBLIC. The writer opens and concludes with some statements erroneous about the educational system of Liberia; and presumes to offer suggestions that are quite out of place. And but for the wish to correct a wrong impression in America the effusion would have been treated with the contempt it deserves. I am writing from the standpoint of a stranger, who has been carefully studying Liberian affairs for four years, and in a small way connected with education; and in challenging and refuting some of the statements made by the writer I take up the cudgels for no one. I hope that corrections would come from the proper quarters in due course of time I shall confine myself to quotations from the article in question, and attach to them corrections. I begin with the caption "Practical Education Is Greatly Needed," etc. The aim and object of all education is for a practical end, whether it be purely literary or classical, technical or scientific, and industrial. I understand practical to mean capable of being turned to use, ready to apply knowledge to some useful end. The thrust at the schools of Liberia, and Liberia College especially, in an uncharitable as it is injudicious. The college has been and is still training men and women for every department of the government, for the bar, and for commercial as well as private life. As a matter of fact it does the work that three or four special schools would be expected to do in other parts of the world. Prominent Men Products of Liberia Schools President Barclay is a product of Liberia College and is both a literary and law graduate. And most of the foremost men in every county of the Republic were students of the college. Dr Blyden and Bishop Ferguson are among the graduates of that college, and are foremost among the men whose qualifications are known and respected far beyond the limits of Western Africa. The education, therefore, that may be obtained in Liberia College is practical, and so is that gained from other schools of a similar grade, all applied to useful ends. (b) "Liberia has no systems of public schools" should read no modern system in the public schools (c) "Mrs. Thompson's school at 'Peniel House' with its average of 15 boys and girls, all told, and Miss Jane Sharp's school accommodating some half dozen or more girls are the only chief sources of elementary education for the one and a half million of people in this country," says the writer, "and these schools though small are the only ones that seek to train the students in the right channel," says the writer. From the most recent statistics before me I will all the following record Government appropriation for the year 1009, for the support of schools and maintenance of public education $20,000, numerous of public schools in the Republic 102, district commissioners 6, day school teachers 102. For further particulars I give as source of reference Dr. Padmore, Education] Bureau, Monravia, who is the Commissioner-General of Education. The schools supported (Continued on Page 6) Mrs. Wealthy Bowser Denounces Rev. Bowser's Statements in Letter as Absolutely False. Another chapter has been added to the marital mixup in which Rev. F. E. Bowyer and Mrs. Wealthy Bowyer play prominent parts by the declaration of the former that he has been divorced from Mrs. Bowyer for a number of years, and further denies that he married another woman without first securing a divorce decree from his first wife as charged. Rev. Bowyer saw the article published in a recent issue of THE AGE in which Mrs. Bowyer charged that he was married to Miss Mary I. Gantt of Brooklyn last July with having obtained a legal separation. He has written the following letter to THE AGE. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE I read in your paper of September 7, an article referring to me. The woman who had the article put in had a bill of separation from me seven years ago made out by Counsellor Randolph. Three years later I granted her a divorce transferring to her a nice large home with all the furnishings it contained. She never once thought of me until she married again, hoping by this persecution to gain all the property I have. I will send you the proofs of my statement later on. My only reason for not sending them now is that my wife urges me not to. Mr Charles Schwab and Mr Andrew Carnegie will both give you references of me. You have two ministers in New York who are divorced and married again, and one in Brooklyn. I ask you as a christian and a gentleman to print nothing more concerning me until you have the proof of what I say. Mrs. Bowser Claims They Have Never Been Divorced. Rev Bowser's letter bore the postmark of Pittsburg, although parties who are supposed to know of his whereabouts claim that he is living in Montreal. Can When seen by an Ace representative and told of the contents of Rev Bowser's letter, Mrs Bowser with emphasis declared that the statement that they have been divorced is untrue. "I can't understand why Rev Bowser continues to make such absurd statements," said Mrs Bowser. "We have never been divorced and he is unable to substantiate his charge. Why does not divorced? "After years ago we did have some trouble and I secured a bill of separation from him, but we became reconciled within a short time and resumed domestic relations. We lived together until last April when I went to the home of relatives in Pittsburg. I left our home in Bradford, Pa., with the understanding that Rev. Bowser was going Northwest for the summer, and did not know otherwise until I saw in The Ace Respectfully.

At a meeting of the officers and executive members of the Essex County Colored Republican Association of Newark, the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, by Dwine Providence the uncleverity of life has been made manifest, through the sudden death of a beloved prince among men, Hon. R Henry Herbert, who has fallen before the reaper of death, and Whereas, with unfaltering faith we believe that the deceased, who was a knight, whose armor was honor, and whose weapon was courtesy to all men, that beyond our knowledge, the angels of heaven have recorded to him "peace" through the wonderful grace of Him who faves and saves us all, and. Whereas, by the sudden ending of our lamented chieftain, friend and guide, he has left a vacant place which his race and generation will find it difficult to fill, yet as long as memory lasts will his useful career, brilliant mind, broad heartedness and liberal' characteristics, dwell upon the hearts and form a living example over those who knew him best. Therefore he it Resolved, that we, the officers and executive members of the Essex County Colored Republican Association of Newark, N. J., assembled in special sessions, do hereby express our heartfelt sorrow and deep sympathy to the family of our deceased friend. Be it Resolved, that by Hon. R. Henribert's tenderness of heart, sweetness of disposition, and willingness to serve for all, we realize that the sting of death has had no power to rob him of that immortal temple, which he has erected in the hearts of his fellowmen; and while in the stately mansion of his power he was as democratic as the wearisome embodiment of a circumscribed life, to do to the fullest for his race, made him a diplomatic surmounting what to others seemed impossible: Be it Resolved, that as a peerless political leader, whose influence among men of power and decision, made him at once always welcome, throughout his native state, as well as in his wide field of social and business activities, that he has indelibly stamped his personality upon the hearts of mankind, as having made the world by thought and action, as having made the world by thought and action. Finally, be it Resolved, that as we shall no more clasp his friendly hand, nor speak those words of cheer with him, or listen to his wise and practical judgment on matters of racial interest, so let us hope, that at last, when the mists have rolled away, that we shall see and know him as we have, when once to know him was to love him, to name him was to praise him. Be it resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to his family at Trenton, N. J., and a copy be spread upon the minutes of this association. Done under our hand this 15th day of October, 1900, at Newark, N. J. Joseph H. E. Scotland, chairman; Samuel Harrison, chairman of Executive Committee; G. A. Douglass and James M. Baxter. Pollutants Now Mine or Chewmen Meat Causein, III, October 18. According to station in session here, there is no hope for cheaper meat in the near future. In referring to the high price of meat the committee has given out the following statement: "The past fiscal year has been a very unsatisfactory one to the meat packers of the country. The prices of live stock, our raw material, have been abnormally high and the products have had to be sold at comparatively low figures. The prices of live stock foodstuffs have been extremely high throughout the year, and this has resulted in a consequently increased cost of production to the feeders and raisers." Negro Churches of Indianapolis Co Operate. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., October 19.—The Negro churches of all denominations in this city are making a special effort this week and next to reach the unchurched masses. The movement is similar to that conducted by Dr. Wilbur Chapman among the white people. Rev. A.

COLUMBUS, O., October 19.—For fifty long years David Thomas labored, a slave, under the lash of southern task-makers. Then for 46 years he enjoyed the freedom given by the emancipation proclamation. Three years ago he entered the Franklin county inharmy to spend his declining days, and there he died last Tuesday week, at the age of 98, the oldest inmate, save one, Johnny Myers, who is now 99. David Thomas was born and lived in slavery in Virginia. After the war he came north and until admitted to the infirmary, labored in the iron mills in various places Gold and Diamonds in Liberia WASHINGTON, October 20 -Discoveries of precious stones and gold in Liberia have been reported to the State Department by George W Ellis, American Charge d'Affaires at Monrovia, the capital Fail to Agree on Negro Suffrage Question in Maryland Indications That It Will Be Defeated at the Polls in November by 10,000 Votes. Over 17,000 Have Registered—Large and Nonthreatic Meetings Being held in Baltimore and Throughout State. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 19.—Throughout Maryland the voters are discussing the proposed Strans disfranchisement measure, which, if passed, means that hundreds of Negro citizens will be abolished of their right to vote. The amendment advocates are preaching from the housetops the absurd doctrine that Negro suffrage is dangerous to the interests of the State; yet only once since the Civil War has Maryland elected a Republican Governor nor has any Negro ever been a candidate for the Legislature, and not a member of the race holds a nomination. Such Democrats as former Gov. Warfield, Gov. Crothers and Senator Smith, who boast that they have never escaped a ticket, are advocating the passage of the amendment on the ground that the Negro always votes. White men on the order of W. L. McKinley, Arthur W. Machen and George Stewart Brown, who opposed the Post amendment four years ago, are also willing for its success this fall. On the other hand, prominent Democrats like John M. Nelson, J. Southgate Lemmon, Major Richard M. Venable, Stewart M. Janney, Dr. J. M. Tinney and Joseph Friedenwald, are outspoken in their position to the plan to disfranchise the Negro voters. Dr. Fabian Franklin; for years above of the Baltimore News, and who is an independent Democrat holding the position the Democratic race on the list of the departures of a fortunate family in the City, have been a strong supporter of the Baltimore Sun, which is making a fight for the amendment, is having a difficult time trying to consistently show why it favors such a position. The two afternoon papers and the Baltimore American, which are opposing the amendment, have poured hot shot day after day into the Sun's lame arguments. Senator Rayner, who opposed the Pos amendment four years ago, is now for this one. But he is now a candidate for re-election to the United States Senate, and is engaged in telling the populace that not a single white man will be disfranchised. Republicans Makekag Great Fight The Republicans are making an active fight against the measure, and are also working hard for the election of their candidate Prominent men, like Charles J. Bonaparte, have clearly exposed the inquiry of the measure, and the tide is believed to have turned against its passage. The Republicans have not had any outside man to speak but Thomas J. Hefflin, the Alabama Congressman and would be slayer of Negroes on street cars, came up from Alabama to tell Baltimoreans about the nevident intentions of those who would restrain Negro's right to vote. Senator "Bill Stone" who became rude because a Pullman porter did not get his dinner as soon as he got his toddy today; Jas. K. Verdaman, advocate of the repeal of the fifteenth Amendment, and Senator Tillman, whose love for Negroes is well known, may be called in to help convince the white voters of the necessity of depriving Maryland's Negro voters of their right to vote in order to intrench the Democratic ring in power. The last amendment was defecated by 34,000 votes and the indications are that this one will be snowed under by 10,000 majority Negro Voter Alert. The Negro voters of this state are making every effort to poll every vote possible against the amendment. The Suffrage League of which Dr. V. W. Alexander is president, has been making a quiet, but aggressive fight. Circulars containing President Taft's letter to Collector Stone against the amendment and Cardinal Gibbons' interview defending it have been sent broadcast. The league succeeded in getting a large number of Negroes on the poll books during the recent registration and now over 17,000 are entitled to vote in this city alone. The young Negro men of this city, restoring things educated many of them would lose their votes, held a rousing anti-immendment meeting last Thursday evening. These young men are aware of the fact that Negroes born in this state could be deprived of the right under the peculiar provisions of the measure while colored men coming from States further Souh may be let in. The sneakers at this meeting included Counselman Harvey S. Cummings Daniel H. Murphy James S. B. Calls James L. Thomas John H. Murphy Jr. Edward V. Stokes and W. Ashley Hawkins The Afro-American Ledger and the Baltimore Times are each week pouring editorial hot shot against the amendment, and arousing the race against its unfairness. TWO HUNDRED PRESENT Admirers Present Him With Gold Watch—Dr. Washington and Com. Peary Send Telegrams. Matthew Henson, Arctic explorer, who accompanied Commander Robert E. Peary on his historic trip to the North Pole, was honored by the Negro citizens of Greater New York Tuesday evening. The reception tended him was such a warm and cordial one that for the evening at least he forgot all about the Esquimaux, the frozen sone and igloos and basked in the hospitality of his host. Two hundred representative men and women paid homage to Explorer Henson Tuesday evening at the Hinson House at Tuxedo Hall. Fifty-ninth street and Madison avenue. The consensus of opinion was that never have the Negro citizens of New York tendered such an elaborate and successful banquet to all of their race. Beautiful Tuxedo Hall was decorated with house plants and cut flowers, and every one appeared in full splendor. Several telegrams were received by Toastmaster Anderson during the evening from prominent men. Dr. Washington sent the following telegram: "Am sending you my subscription for the Henson dinner. Permit me to contemplate your joy for the wisdom and generosity manifested in providing the dinner in honor of our distinguished and deserving fellow citizen who has by his achievement lifted the race to a higher level. My congratulations to the guest of the evening and to those assembled. Telegram sent by Commander Peary from Eagle Island, Me., read as follows: "I congratulate you and your race upon Matthew Henson. He has driven home to the world your great adaptability and the fibre of which you are made. He has added to the moral stature of every intelligent man among you. "His is the hard-earned reward of tried loyalty, persistence and endurance. He should be an everlasting friend to your young men, and the qualities will win him the object they are directed at.

The Florida East Coast Railway Company has had great damages. Between twenty and twenty-five miles of grade have been washed away. Many morgues, entirely destitute and need help, about eight cigar factories were destroyed. At a special meeting of the city council yesterday the mayor was authorized to relieve the suffering here. Much damage was done along the water front: nearby pler was greatly damaged, and some were wholly destroyed. Craftsmen along the water front.

October 18.—It is little more than a month now since school opened at Tuskerse has settled into its own place. One important chance has been introduced this year in the weekly program. Channel exercises will be held only on Sunday, unless on Tuesday or Wednesday nights prairies will be held in the new dining-room when a prominent visitor may be present. The exercises will be transformed to the night students a little remake from the severe tension they are held in from working all day and attending school every night. We take a cursory glance into the life of the Tuskerse student, might conclude that he was shut out from much that is going on in the world. But as a matriarch face is lowered, more students represent every section of the country, and as many methods of instruction are in general use in the best institutions of education. It is a highly university life, where there is a special teacher and a teacher even more important than a seldom happens to any place, so remote from large centers as Tuskerse, to enjoy the presence of so many distinguished personses. There are present teachers of the teaching force or as post graduate, who have had the unusual honor of seeing, at various times, three presidents of prominent persons of their own race who have not been, at some time, invited to Tuskerse. A boy was born and attended school in Philadelphia, but come Madam Hackley sing. The impression that all these unusual privileges makes upon the students at Tuskegee is almost daily noticeable. His room is the primitive environment of a Mississippi cabin, where he used to sit and stampe time with his feet with his hand heaten his face, singing his crude melody. He is in a room with a singing room, with his singing book, and that same melody, only this exception, he now sings with an undaunted air the most complex notes. He is a very severe critic, especially of addresses and public singing. One cause of this is that he is compelled to pay strict attention and to face every speaker who may make an address in the classroom. Much of the attentive and constant work, then, is so much intermingled with such extraordinary diversions that one cannot keep a quiet almost time. Indeed, there is a great number of students present now who have not been home within six or seven years. It is not an unusual sight during vacation instead of the children returning home to see their parents. NEW HAVEN EPISCOPALIANS The children's daily service took place at 3 p.m. at which Rev. Mr. Bishop made them a telling address. The speaker impressed the boys with the set calling, and that of the girls the slaterhood; after which Rector Bowles made a brief address to the parents, pleading them to send their children to Sunday Rev. Alonzo Johnson, pastor in charge of St. Monica's Mission, Hartford, was present and assisted at the evening service. Monday, St. Luke's Day, at the holy eucharist at 7 a.m. Rev.

BRAZEN PIRACY. We hereby call the attention of our readers and to the readers of all other Negro journals throughout the country to the brazen piracy not to say unblushing the thievery of much of our news but more especially of our editorial matter We might specify at least three Negro newspapers who in the last fortnight have carried without credit the same article taken bodily from our news columns. We can point to at least twenty-five Negro newspapers who have carried our editor's matter taken word for word even under our own captions and furnished to them by publishers, p'ate or syndicated news. The chief of these offenders are writers of the Negro page of the American Press Association and the writer of the Afro-American Cullings. The latter's circulation is throughout the South. The former's page is widely taken but confined mostly to the Northern and Western papers. Two cases in point Our leading editorial in our issue of September 16 was "A Negro at the Pole," an abbreviated summary of the notable achievements of Negroes in American discovery and exploration It is needless to state that these facts were gathered together at the expense of much time and money. Leading white journals and The Tuskegee Student complimented us, gave the facts wide publicity by carrying the editorial in full but they gave the ACE credit. Nearly all of the Negro papers we have seen—and the first which attracted our attention was the Lousville (Ky.) Columbian—which got the A. P. A page carried during the week of October 9, the identical editorial under the signature of the page writer. For the last month THE Age editorial newspaper furnished the material of the Afro-American Cullings. The last two issues of these we have seen not on'y followed their old habit but also carried our leading editorials with not one letter of credit. We are not warning our complimentary contemporaries. We are simply giving facts due our readers and their readers They are remiss in their duty If they appreciate our efforts, let them frankly tell their readers so. If they do not, we shall have to. --- HENSON A LECTURER. We have been happily surprised at the splendid beginning Matthew. A Henson of Peary polar fame has made of his lecture tour. Not that our admiration or confidence in the Negro hero of the hour has waned, but that his sudden bursting into the lumelight has not dazed him. It is only the exceptional man under such circumstances already famous and in line for fortune that holds his head. Any other than such a man would likely engulf himself in a scientific discussion beyond his depth. Any other than such a man would gorge himself in dissipation of delighted and designing friends. Speaking in Middletown, Conn, he showed a modesty that was as becoming as it is popular in dodging the welcome of a drum corps and a big crowd gathered to greet him. Introduced to two large audiences by Mayor Weeks and Governor Russell he made an impression in his vigorous and earnest address Before the audience of 1,900 at the Hip podrome in this city Sunday he repeated his success with his self-possession, quick and good natured wit and remarkable knowledge of the little brown people and land of the midnight sun In revealing his true self a resourceful, hardy and doggedly persistent man, he is doing his race appreciated good. In discussing Arctic conditions and dissecting the claims of Dr Cook he is rendering his lifelong commander and companions an excellent service If Henson will continue in his modest and unpretentious way, manly and yet true to his superior, keeping within the bounds of his wide experience, he will continue to honor himself and his race --- THE RAID AT HARPER'S FERRY. Last Saturday, October 16, was the fiftieth anniversary of John Brown's raid at Harper's Ferry, the fateful day upon which the death knell of American slavery was rung. That day fifty years before the Christlike martyr and hero of Ossawotamie presented his body a living sacrifice to be burned by the ... --- 7. 下列各组词语中，意思相近的是 ( ) names of slavery madness, that America might indeed be free, that an enslaved people might be let go upon their mission into the world. More and more as the years pass by the halo of sanctity seems to gather about the name of John Brown. And rightly so. Standing off in the greater perspective the more unusual man he appears, the more genuine his inspiration seems to reveal itself. There are men, sometimes they appear but once in a century, with a self-sacrificing patriotism of a Joan of Arc or the holy intolerance of a Luther, whose hearts are attuned to a key above the ears of ordinary men. Such a man was John Brown In their day they may be called fanatics. But time and history will fix their place above the power of selfish contemporaries to add or detract. John Brown will be hailed in time like Lincoln by every element in his native land as a patriot and savior Harper's Ferry Day will be a hallowed day in American History --- RED'S BRAIN VS. BLACK'S BRAIN. The unwelcome news that the Indians in the United States are on the increase; that there are 300,000 red men in our country today as against the 280,000 of twenty years ago is causing the public much concern. The increase of 10,000 Indians in Canada in the last ten years has quite dismayed Canada. The press has adopted various methods of relieving the public's discomfort. The following extract of a New York World editorial is perhaps typical "For us the gathering of new numbers may mean a new problem, but the fresh issue must surely be more satisfactory to deal with than that old one which seemed chiefly to involve measures of population on the whole. We must agencies investigation. In mental equipment the Indians rank easily above the average Negroes. In their new estate they have produced every variety of active manhood from statesmen, teachers doctors and preachers down to good for their own use. We must accept their numerical influence as the physical evidence of a racial progress succeeding the old processes of decay under abuse." Such specious argument is so transparent as hardly to require refutation. The question as to the relative ability of the Indian and the Negro carries its own answer. Neither a psychological inquiry nor a sociological investigation is needed. Just plan common sense, census figures as to progress in culture and numbers and a look at the two races in any corner of the country will suffice. What is the test of a man's mental equipment? Success under persecution or extermination under difficulties? The ability to adopt and thrive under a progressive civilization or the unwillingness and inability to withstand that civilization? A thriving independence or a suicidal and sullen guardianship, a general wealth and culture and Christianity and constructive statesmen or a general poverty and ignorance and semi-barbarism and destructive malcontents? If the former, Negroes rank above Indians in mental equipment. --- THE ATLANTA SAVINGS BANK. One of the most commendable and encouraging moves ever made by the Negroes of Georgia was their establishment during January of this year of The Atlanta State Savings Bank Doing $60,000 worth of business during the first eight months of its existence, the bank has not only made good but has succeeded beyond the most sanguine hopes of its founders. The success of this splendid young institution carries with it many features, which should be noted by Negroes throughout this country. First of all the bank was started by experienced Negroes already successful J O Ros, the president, was trained at Atlanta University. Through honesty and industry he rose from poverty to affluence in the Atlanta commercial world. No less successful, experienced and well-known are its secretary, cashier and treasurer. Messrs Hamilton Strawbridge, C C Carter and David T Howard respectively. Behind them is a board of acting not talking dctors. Secondly the bank started modestly in outlay and on principles of business and not sentiment. They opened a savings department with one dollar as the minimum deposit. They have given the same rate of interest discounted notes and advanced money just as their neighbors white banks. Thirdly they did not antagonize but gained the co-operation of then white neighbors through their strict fidelity to business principles. That these successful, capable colored men in Atlanta should have gained the confidence and respect of both white and black in their community seems only natural. That their business principles should succeed splendidly would be expected. But a disregard for these absolutely essential and primary principles has been the very shoals upon which Negro enterprises have gone to pieces. What the Negroes of Atlanta have done, the Negroes in every other community in this country where there is any considerable number of Negroes can and should do. The Atlanta State Savings Bank may well be called "the pride of the colored folk of the community." It augurs a fuller future for Georgia Negroes. It is a source of satisfaction to the outfit race. In our opinion, the finest, clearest and bravest word that has been spoken in the interest of the native African in recent years is contained in The Outlook for October 16 from the pen of Rev. W. S. Rainsford, late rector of St. George's Church in New York. Dr. Rainsford, since leaving New York, has spent much time in Africa and has studied conditions thoroughly. In every line of this magnificent article Dr Rainsford expresses his faith in the ability of the native, and condemns the wrongs that have been perpetrated upon him The folowing paragraph taken from the article, is tremendous in its courage and its insight into African conditions. "The national pirates have laid violent hands on possessions they had no moral or other claim to, but their booty is valueless to them without the aid of the forgotten and despised native. This is the state of things to-day, and, so far as the future can be forecast, this must ever remain the truth of Africa. The one atonement that it is in the power of civilization to make to the native is to improve him, lead him forward, help him to deve'op his magnificent country, and see that he benefits by that development." Dr. Rainsford is to follow up this article with another one pointing out how Africa can be redeemed. It will pay the black people in this country to read closely Dr. Rainsford's words, they are fraught with both wisdom and encouragement --- ARMSTRONG POINTS THE WAY. Washington public schools in common with other metropolitan schools have long had the vital and vexing problem on their hands of school lunches. The mid-day lunch has contributed to the large and hampering tardiness and absence. The cold lunch at school and the bolted meal at home together with the hurry incident to the limited lunch hour have directly affected the digestion of the teachers as well as children. These have borne no little injury to school' work. These must be kept in mind in taking account of the present superficial work done in the schools. Indigestion may account for the otherwise unaccountable dumbness of many children. It is therefore that the co-operative school lunch recently devised by the Armstrong manual training school at Washington of which Dr Bruce Evans is principal, gains its great value. Prepared by advanced students in the cooking class and sold at cost the cheap and clean meal has proved an unqualified success during its first fortnight's trial. The Washington Star thus comments in part "According to a report in The Star last evening the problem of lunches for school children may be solved by the public schools themselves. It would be a creditable achievement. The school children's lunch has been productive of much per piece on the part of parents and school notation of some distraction and indigestion in the children themselves. "It was the girls of the cooking course who started this lunch, and these members of the student body are not only preserving the Irish schoolmates from the slaughter lunch, but which affected their young puns, but are encharging their own experience in the purchase, preparation and service of food." The Armstrong lunch could be coped with advantage by all manual training schools and schools in which cooking is in the curriculum. It points out the way not only in the solution of the school lunch problem but in making more practical the training of the student of the cooking art. --- DISFRANCHISING THE WHITES. According to the Montgomery Daily Advertiser, not more than 90,000 voters all told will be in a position to cast their votes in that State in the November election. There are 208,000 white men in Alabama who should vote. The various schemes for disfranchising the Negro have resulted in disfranchising the white voters in that State, it seems, according to the Advertiser, except about 90,000. Thus it is proven again that an injustice cannot be perpetrated upon the Negro without its affecting the white man at the same time. --- EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS The Socialists of Oklahoma starting by way of Negro laboring men are now after Negro recruits indiscriminately. It will hardly be worth the while of the Socialists, for the Negro started out after the Republicans. He has been after them ever since According to our correspondents Boston Negroes want a colored Y M C A and Pittsburg Negroes want no colored Y M C A The Irishman says "awher," the Englishman says "eyther," the American says either and either is right We are Americans Washingtonians again hear rumors to the effect that a number of changes and new appointments are to be made.

If Ketchell had won he would have tied up all the watering places in the country. President Taft at El Paso, Texas, said that on this trip he is neither Republican nor Democrat, but the President of the whole people. We doubt if the white South will catch thus timely hunt for she thinks hersef the whole show. Rev. Bainbridge in the last Outlook asks "Can the African be civilized?" and ifen proceeds to upbraid, the civilized nations in Africa for their barbarous treatment of the natives. The poor natives are in an agonizing and reasonable quandary as to whether they want to be civilized or not. With the Indians increasing despite the popular day dream that they have about all died off and with the Negroes just running rampant in his growth despite the Southron's statement that they are on a toboggan skidding to death, it seems sure that America is going to be a sort of cosmopolitan center after all by and by. DISFRANCHISEMENTS FOUR FAULTS. Maryland Clause So False as to Repel Democrats, Says Post. Four years ago the disfranchisement proposal, known as the Poe amendment, was defeated in Maryland by an overwhelming majority. This year an amendment having the same purpose, but drawn on somewhat different lines, is before the people for ratification, and bids fair to the people against it cannot be of the phenomenal magnitude that was obtained in 1906. In that campaign a very large proportion of the voters opposed the amendment out of fear that while primarily aimed at the Negroes, it put into power of disfranchisement that might be used against any class of voters that it was to the interest of the ruling party to disfranchise. This was due to the fact that voters who did not come in under the "grandfather clause" had to submit, not to a bone-d� educational test, to a "reasonable explanation" by giving a "reasonable explanation" of any clause of the Federal State constitution which the registrants might select. The anti-amendment campaign was fought chiefly on this issue, and before it was over there was a universal acceptance of the nature of the case with the result that the proposal was snowed under. The amendment now under discussion was produced as the result of a vast amount of travel in the shape of consultations and conferences designed to propitiate the voters who had shied at the amendment. The amendment, but not foreign voters, for example, but not foreign decent: To some extent this effort has succeeded, but large numbers of voters of these classes still view the contrivance with suspicion, and reasons are given to justify these suspicions. But the main body of the opposition is the Democrat. The amendment is divided by great numbers of the best citizens of Maryland for four reasons, that it is an violation of the Federal Constitution that it unnecessarily disfranchises the Negroes, whose vote has never been an injury to the cause of good government, and that the so-called educational test while different from that of the Post proposition is just as manifestly being asked and without access to a memorandum of any kind is self evident. In view of all these things it is not surpassed by Law. The law has been organized under the lead of a group of eminent members of the bar Democratic as well as Republican. This is the latest development of the anti amendment fight and it emphasizes the indications which have been growing more marked as time goes on. The people will once more have the stamp of the people's rejection placed upon it. The New York Evening Post JOHN BROWN STATUE In National Capital Favored by Kansas Bethle Conference. The action of the negro ministers of the Kansas A M E Conference just closed in starting a movement to place the statue of John Brown in Statuary Hall in the National Capital an art that inflict upon the conference and that makes toward the establishment of a State pride of Kansas patriots among the population of the State. He soon said and probably will be said about John Brown both by those who believed and those who claim not to have believed in him. No doubt he had some erroneous ideas. But he also had the courage of heart and hand to what he believed. He worked about the cool of his country and his chosen territory. What this country needs is fewer men to find fault with its patriots and more to respect the spirit in which these patriots act. The Negroes of the State one not a little to the sentiment of John Brown of Kansas and if they further the cause of placing his statue in the National Hall of Statues they will be doing not only to encourage the enemy should be called to the enemy but to public imprisoned Kansas -- Leavenworth Times Brooklynite Against Jim-Crow Y M C.

The respectable Negro, it is true, we admit, is not as assertive in politics as of yore. Thus is good policy for him and he should be complimented by all. He is clearly concerned in applying his energies to industrial and commercial pursuits, and when the election time rolls around, he hurries to the polls, and hastens back to his home or employment. The Lecture Standard. --- The colleges and public schools of Lattie Rock are now in full blast. With three colleges and four public schools right in our must, ignorance should be right. States are our race so well blessed for educational advantages as Lattie Rock. In many cities people have to spend thousands of dollars on the rentals of a house or a studio. Dren an education. Here a parent can start his boy or girl in the kindergarten and bring him or her out a finished Rachter of Arts. The boy can also be taught skills or the girl can take a through course in domestic science. The Music Guild. The coming of the gallant 25th Infantry to Fort George Wright near this city has not arrogated much interest on the part of the colored residents of Snohomish, a strong Southern campaign in the far off tropics should be given a roaring reception such as was tendered the Fighting 10th Cavalry by the citizens of Gotham. Can the public interest in the coming of the nation's black defenders? Let the public spirited Afro-Americans get together and tender those noble black boys in blue a real Western reception that they may be welled to. The Fort George, Orchard, Advocate We congratulate the Independent man on his wisdom in reference to Thomas E. Watson's tirade against the Negro. We might add to what the Independent has so wagged said that nobody but a cow and would thus treat a defenseless people. Mr Watson knows that no man is so wise as Thomas E. Watson in kind even about the most deprived white man or woman and since this is true a man who under such circumstances and knowing as he does that we have no defense and then too, Mr Watson would not insult any man in the race with equal opportunity before the law or with the same standing with our environments. The Allan Student. --- We can gain nothing for our children by complaining because the authorities set aside $62,000 of the $100,000 paid annual appropriation for schools for the children of the poor because of good government and conservation by talking for a larger appropriation for our children. Superintendent Staton of the city district will visit the statement that four thousand Negro children of school age are walking the streets of Atlanta who do not apply for admission to the schools for the reason that there are too many of emplied to meet the rank of full-time enrolment. The Independent would like to add that there are more than five thousand in this predestination. The Atlanta Independent "The editor of this paper is optimistic. For this reason he does not subscribe to the idea so prevalent among our people that Texas isn't the host of all the States generally in the South for as piring Negro men and women to make a stand against the state, based on all sides with "Tim Crow" legislation and are buried and lynched occasionally. It is a fact nevertheless, that as a class and as a race we are pressing forward and upward all the time. Right here in Houston for instance, we are pressing forward the question and in business are accorded the fullest latitude in playing their respective vocals. look in the acquiring of homes and in the accumulation of money and property.—The Texas Freeman. For the first time in the history of Fort Lawton, the Seattle army post, it is being garrisoned by what the United States Government designates colored soldiers. The Sheridan, which arrived in the Seattle port, sent a Tuesday brought the 26th Infantry, and the major part of the companies immediately wept to the fort, while the minor part went to Fort Wright, a Sookane suburb. These brave black boys in blue for the past thirty months have been doing duty in the Philippine Islands, where they have made a great enviable military record. They also bring splenzen recommensaliments from the forts from whom they came, and dipped that Seattle has never seen a more soldierly set than they. The Seattle Republican --- In the busy life of the present day, where merit and efficiency are the surest means of success, men must work at what they find to do and at the same time equip themselves for something better. As a result of this fact, night schools have become a necessity. It is especially gentifying, therefore, to note the large attendance in the night schools of Washington, as well as the additional efficiency of these schools. It is particularly fitting that Washington schools as in the day schools, as there are many who are ambitious and industrious, but find it impossible to attend school during the day. The night schools must continue to grow in importance and a larger place in the community as time passes on. The Washington American The registration held last Tuesday and Wednesday in this city indicates that the Republicans will have a landslide at the coming November election. The activity manifested by both Republican and registration showed that the contest will be colorless) urged from now until the election. The Democrats were desperate in their attempt to thrill the will of the caucus in large Republican precincts, and conceive where the colored men are. In those places the clerk of election was a Democrat, they tried to limit the registration to such persons as were found on a dummy which had been prepared by the Democrat's Sammarg Committee for the purge of those who were among the unnes of legal voters living in the precinct - The Louisville Columbian. --- The charges are also to the effect that T I: Lyon and other candidates have sat by and done nothing for the 2,000 colored voters. We have always been friendly to both Lyon and Wheeler, and will investigate the charges of both, for it is our duty to ensure that port any man who does not do the square thing. We are aware of the fact that we individually have not been given a four deal at the hands of the men at the head of the political machine, but we are not them little more time in which "the charge" is certain that we are not going any farther on promises. The whole party has had our support gratuitously, without remuneration; and the laborer is worth his hire. We serve due notice on all that we cannot render any man who cannot render any Cusset that which is his. The Springfield III. Forum --- The white Baptists Episcopalians and Congregationalists of Cleveland have assisted their colored members in providing comfortable church homes. The white Methodists of San Francisco Los Angeles, St Louis, Chicago, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Columbus, Baltimore, Philadelphia, place where they have assisted their colored members to provide suitable and adequate church homes. But the white Methodists of Cleveland have fallen far short of their duty and opportunity. Church pride should mind them to regard it as essential for their colored members to be colored denominations as well as many classes of foreigners in which Cleveland Methodists take particular interest. The opportunity is set for the Methodists of Cleveland to extend their churches and in secondary goal at home as members of the Park Church and unidentified should have their support and who will get it. The Cleveland Journal. There has been considerable talk about President Taft's policy of appointing colored men of the South to office. The impression has been wrongly given out about the colored people as out of general interest, but about thirteen are credited to the colored race. So any one can see that the colored people have all the white had a very small number at the pre-counter notwithstanding the fact of possessing the largest amount of votes in the South where in lies the justice of consideration and distribution to the colored people of Republican party faith? President Taft should encourage the appointment of some several upright capable and trustful Southern States, and in such the Southern States, and in such the Southern whites, regardless of the past should feel with pride in assisting in such appointments if for no other reason than to have it said. See how the character of Southern white people appreciate the true nature and after character of the true nature of the colored race. The Galston City Times --- --- The M. M. State Law Association has done a work that the State of Mississippi in a higher estimation of the color of the district will be bearing the clear of opposition to Negroes we possess in the district. We believe that their color and the work of their schools and schools. We have looked for a higher future for our State and the hand of the digital printing teased and the hour. The colored people can be trusted with the nearest and closest interest of the white people and the sooner the white people trust the ability of the black people the more confident they will be. Judgment have the chance to endorse of their course. We have next year that the colored building will be made larger so that a better display can be made. We urge the colored people to take the advantage offered to them and make the best possible showing at the folk this week. The (Brookhaven, Miss) People's Relief Makys Debut at Middletown, Conn. Speaks at Hippodrome Sunday Evening. —Anawers Many Questions Put to Him. Matt Henson, Commander Robert Peary's companion on his final trip to the North Pole, has developed a lecturer, and under the management of William J Brady, the theater promoter, plans to appear on the future platform throughout the country. Last Saturday he made his debut in Middletown, Conn., where he was met at the station by a drum corps and a big crowd to bid him welcoming. He was introduced to his audience by Mayor Russell in the afternoon, and I went. Weeks in the evening Sunday evening Henson appeared before an audience numbering from persons at the Hippodrome, and for almost an hour he was questioned by those who had come to hear him tell of his trip to the North Pole It had been announced that Henson would reply to any questions asked him, and the audience, which appeared, for the most part, to be friendly to Commander ePary, kept him hard at it. Many of the questions had to do with the assertion of Dr rederick A. Cook that it was he who discovered the North Pole. Henson left no room for doubt, from his decisive manner of dealing with these questions, who he believes to be the only white man who got to Cook. The readiness with which his apaches were given deeply impressed the audience, and frequently he was heartily applauded. Henson was introduced by Herbert L. Bridgman, Secretary of the Pearly Arctic Club He began the lecture by explaining pictures as they were thrown on a large screen that ran across the stage. These showed the progress of the Roosevelt from the time of leaving New York a year ago last July up to Cape Sheridan, the march of the ePary party across the frozen wastes of the arctic and finally the little camp established by Commander Pearay at the pole after he had arrived with Henson and the four Eskimos. When Henson told the audience that he was ready to answer questions the rapid assault at once started. Sometimes half a dozen were fired at one time, and Manager Brady had to ask the audience to wait, as Henson would answer all if given time. "What was the lowest temperature you found on the trip to the pole?" was asked. Henson replied that 59 degrees below zero was the lowest he had recorded. zero was the lowest he had recorded. "Dr Cook said in his lecture that he found the temperature as low as 83 degrees," some one yelled. "I don't believe any one ever saw such a low temperature, replied Henson scornfully." "There was no man ever made who could live in that cold." "Could Dr Cook have made an arrow from his sledge, as he says, and have killed a musk ox with it?" was asked. "No, he could not," said Henson "He could have made a lance if the sledge had been long enough to give him a goodsized strip of wood, but it wasn't that long. It would be impossible to kill a musk ox with a small arrow. Bullets are needed for that." "How did the natives kill them before they heard of bullets?" was asked. "They used ivory lances, five feet or so long," was the ready response. "They used metortes at the end of their lances, and these set of sawed the musk ox." Henson was asked how much food was necessary to keep a man going in the arctic. A pound of penman a day would do it he said. In answer to another question Hinson declared that one white man and two Eskimos with only four pounds of penman could not go more than 150 miles. He questions turned to the first intuition that Commander Peary had of Dr. Cook's assertion that he had discovered the pole. "His Eskimos told me that he had claimed to have been to the pole wheg we took them ahead our ship at Eatah, explained Henson. This angled at it and so did we." Why did you laugh? demanded a score. "Because we knew it was impossible for him to take to the pole with two ledge, and two Eskimos boys" was Henson's reply. "We had a suspicion all the time that he was going to make the claim." How did you come to suspect the "some one wanted to know "Become" clued Hergon. "The had claimed it have gone to the top of Mr McKinley and we knew that was not true. We heard before we left the United States that he was going to make the claim to the discovery of the pole." Hergon informed the audience that the Ickums had shown on a map, exactly how far Cook had gone, and it wasn't as far as the pole. "On that make maps?" was asked. "They've certainly" replied Hergon. "I am positive Dr Frederick A Cook never was within 500 miles of the Pole, but spent a year hiding in Girls' Club. I have taken a long time to make up my mind about this." Hergon continued. "I didn't want to make the mistake the commander did. You see, none of us that heard up in Annotok that Cook had told the Equinaux he found the Pole really believed he would see it. He didn't see much claim. The Equinaux had laughed at his claims. That's the way we took it."

WALTON McINTYRE AND HEATH IN BLACK PACE to stay on Broadway for a protracted His song, "I Min't No Fool." LARNING that the musical comedy "In Hayti"—was to close its engagement at the Circle Theatre on Saturday evening, October 16, the writer attended a performance of the production the evening before. There were several reasons why we were desirous of seeing "In Hayti." In the first place, the occasion presented an opportunity to see the leading comedians of the show in black face, thereby making it possible to compare the work of white men corked up with that of real Negro comedians. McIntyre and Heath, known throughout the United States as burnt cork comedians of no little ability, are the principal funmakers of the production They have been playing Negro parts since the 1930s and are now before Williams and Walker met in California and formed a team, this white pair was appearing in black face and making good. In some cities where they are favorites they will continue to prove a fair drawing card, but the closing of the show's engagement at the Circle Theatre is very significant and clearly indicates the sign of the times. The trouble with McIntyre and Heath is that to-day they are depicting the same type of a Negro as they did nearly a score of years ago. Theatre-goers who saw them then find no change in their style of work now. That the public, which is fickle and always looking for something new and novel, has not tired of them long ago is because just in recent years have their erstwhile followers been given an opportunity to witness up-to-date colored shows on Broadway. Only since big colored productions have been seen in first-class theatres has the public been inclined to evince less interest in McIntyre and Heath and show preference for the real thing. We cite as undeniable evidence of the public's change of taste for comedians wearing cork, the long and prosperous run enjoyed several months ago by Williams & Walker at the Majestic Theatre in their show-"Bandana Land." Yet, McIntyre and Heath, who opened at the Circle Theatre just across the street, and who originally planned to see Layla at Broad and Sixth street until after the visit of Santa Claus, have been forced to close and go on the road, the patrons evidently not agreeing with the well-laid plans. Wholesale Use of Obnoxious Expressions. After witnessing a performance of "In Haile," the writer is forced to state without prejudice that for the use of coarse, coarse and unfit expressions in what is advertised as a first-class production, McIntyre and Heath should have the ulmion. No practice claiming the distinction of being a Broadway attraction reeks with such words as "nigger" "coon" wench and other highly objectionable words, terms not only obnoxious to colored theatre-goers, but to the majority of white Broadway patrons. To hear such words as "dago," "sheeny" "mick" or "wooden-boof Dutch" would sound to the writer as equally out of place in a first-class show as "nigger" and "coon." Even in a minstrel show or a melodrama we cannot recall that the above-mentioned words were used with such frequency as by McIntyre and Heath; and we were unable to record one legitimate laugh when the words were uttered. Glancing over the program containing the musical numbers of "In Hayt" you will find that the two principal ensembles to the first and second acts, respectively, are "Chicken" and "Everybody's Rag Time Crazy" Yet our colored shows have not been using chicken songs for a number of seasons, knowing how such numbers were overworked years ago. Nowadays they are producing songs more in keeping with the present popular demand. "The Big Red Shawl," as heard in "The Red Moon"; "The Harbor of Lost Dreams," sung in "Mr. Lode of Koal," and "Consolation Lane," used in "His Honor, the Barber," are the class of musical numbers being offered nowadays and which are eligible to be interpolated in any Broadway production. What has always been mystifying to the writer is why some of the Broadway managers contended before Williams and Walker's successful engagement at the Majestic Theatre that a colored aggregation of comedians, singers and dancers could not score a hit on Broadway, and yet they produce productions of the ornate variety, starring white comedians in black-face parts. Not only are the stars "In Hayt!" under cork, but a few members of the cost and many of the chorus people. It is, therefore, difficult to conclude that these managers are prejudiced on account of color when they make it imperative for white performers to appear in ebony hue, and further give instructions for them to act as much as possible like colored people. Of course, the white performers are more likely to show white people about the importance the company held by some white dramatic writers on the subject—usually comic in interpretation, but tragic when an attempt is made to make people of color really believe that the white imitator portrays the real Negro. Being in a position to know that there is not a musical show in the country this season as effective in its ensemble numbers as some of our colored shows, the writer will not even advance the idea that the managers doubt the ability of colored performers to give a first-class performance. After our visit to the Circle Theatre, we have almost concluded that the managers who have shown opposition to handling large colored companies are fearful of the clientele might draw, which is a minor matter that pales into insignificance when you consider that first-class prices are to be charged, and that the show will remain on Broadway longer than a few weeks. . The failure of McIntyre and Heath ```markdown ``` to stay on Broadway for a protracted run should be a strong object lesson for the colored shows aspiring to win favor by playing in first-class houses. It is a convincing argument that they must withstand witnesses and that the public will not stand for crude characterizations even in the "world of make believe." WHERE THE SHOWS ARE MR.

Jones, Grants and Jones are at Keitha's. Providence, R. I. The Evening News comments on the act as follows: Jonea was elected president of the society to appear in their original act—Out Arends and their efforts met with un- qualified success. Their act deals with some whirlwind dancing which brought down the house, one of the female members being especially proficient in this line, while both men are original in their comedy work." Leon Williams, president of the Colored Vaudeville Benvoler Association, writes that the Dixie Serenaders are good over the United Circuit. In reviewing the act, the Hamilton Herald said last week "Some real high-class singing and dancing is given by the Dixie Serenaders, a colonized troupe much above the catechists and they sing new songs that are catchy and their dancing is a great feature of the act. The act is performed by their work, as colored entertainers趣趣 do, and it is to laugh when they are in the limelight." This week the act is at Keith's, Columbus, O Lawrence Deas, of the act of Deas, Reed and Deas, writes from Edmonton, Alta, which is in Canada, which he describes as one of the farthest northern America to be reached by railroad, which is from Mile from Klondike and where it rests on degree degrees below zero in the winter. All the napers speak highly of the act. The Calgary Dally Herald said "The act that is causing the most interest is that Deas Reed and Deas, a trio of colored singer and actor, merit. The actions of the comedian of the act with great approval, and he keeps the house in an uproar from start to finish." Good Bill and Attendance at Palace Hall. Not only was the attendance at the Palace Hall Theatre last Sunday evening, the largest of the season, but the bill in box that has been arranged by Archer of St. Mary's inaugurated the policy of giving Sunday curtains. Almost every seat in the house was taken and the audience was generous in its applause. Robinson and Gayton have an act that has made him properly direct his audience to make people laugh. he will some day be a comedian who will command the notice of the managers. When Bert Murphy and Bob Slater were in vaudeville together years ago they must have great pair of fun makers. Last Sunday in their old vaudeville skirt for the first time in eight years and scored a hit Bob Slater makes a good straight man and Bert Murphy is in Class A as a dancer. Another act not received was that of the comedian they would put their act together better they could make a big hit in vaudeville, and not in the small houses, either. Al John showed himself to he equally at home on the stage as off in telling stories and officiating at the piano, and he so, should prove a success in vaudeville.

D) knocking on, Stuart, Katebel, in B knocking out Stanley Ketchel in the twelfth round at Cofforth's Arena. Colma. Cal., last Saturday. Jack Johnson not only strengthened his hold on the weight champion title, besides boasting several points higher in the realm of pugilism, but also established a record for nerve. He is undoubtedly the nerviest man stepped into a prize ring and should be from now on as the 'nerviest of the nervy'. Jack Johnson was master in the match with Ketchel from the first round. He was the first to win the first two fights but ignored that the longer he allowed the match to last the more money he would realize from the moving pictures. He, therefore, waited until the second knock out his man in dramatic fashion.

Some of the white writers are yet trying to explain how the knocked out Ketchel. Here is how he had it pulled off by Ketchel. Ketchel drove at his head the champion fell, landing heavily. Playing possum he rose slowly as if dazed to draw Ketchel, who thought he had the champion going it once the latter straightened to his knees. Ketchel left his left to the stomach, followed his right with a powerful blow to Ketchel's head, which meant for the white man "sweet dreams." Some writers are seeking to show that Johnson was dazed when he knocked out Ketchel. It is not likely that a dazed man could perceive this, stunt it. So, however, we are glad for Ketchel that the champion was partly bewildered, for what would he have done had he possessed all his mental equilibrium. The champion was really perplexed when he knocked out Ketchel fearing that he had seriously injured his opponent. Speaking of some of the white writers, the class that has not yet become reconciled to the fact that the champion heavyweight of the world is a Negro, they have been made monkeys by of Johnson, who have been a few of them reside in New York City, and certainly a bunch of sore heads. Johnson has made him welch, dispute themselves and appear ridiculous in the eyes of their readers. One of them told in bold face Tuesday Saturday how Ketchel was going to put Johnson a fourflusher out. Sandra the writer has begged him to award the first prize the question contest declaring that he had predicted before the fight that the champion would knock out Ketchel in ten rounds. Every fight enthusiast know that the headless betting was on Johnson knocking out Ketchel in fifteen rounds. With all fairness to Ketchel he made Johnson put up the best exhibition since. But at that the coloured fighter has seen what he is really made at. He has not been made to do his heat yet. Now about Jim Jeffries to whom the proud writers again turn to lead them out of the wilderness of embarrass cost and humiliation. If Johnson and his fighters will be able our esteem for the fighters edition of The Arr who does not believe Jeffries will enter the rink. And if he does he has so lost his little process of former class that he would not be able to but the successfully with Johnson. From the way things look the disgruntled had better reclaim themselves to the challenge and find solace in the thought that an amateur born in this country is fitly wooing the championain hockey Stanley Ketchiel was the most available candidate to win back the title for the white brother and as he failed to turn the trick it looked very glorious for the Cancanian for whom he was taken seriously as contenders for the heavywweight title are of show hue—truly a most unique state of affair.

It conveys an intidicy one cannot decipber—if “average” means medial estumate, and “all told,” all counted “1 stumble over “averoge” “all told” Of, the college he says: “It is the only “institution that may wear the name.” If the wsiter means the only insti- tution that may wear the name of an institution, the statement is cloudy and untrue. ‘As regards the teaching force of the college, he says: “The faculty’ 15 conspicuously in- fenor,” “The President ignorant” I have visited Liberia College and made the acquaintance of Dr. Richard- son, the depths of whose acquirements 1 do not know but certainly do not con- sider him void of scholarship and ex- cutive ability ty any means.

This is a fallacy of self-contradiction that goes to prove much against the assertions of such a man, and should not be allowed to go unnoticed. He says the “discipline” of the college “is nothing” If discipline exists at all must either be perfect or imperfect. It cannot be and be not at the same time. nto~date om tare Up-to~date Syatem of, Agrical It is true there is not an up-to-date system of agriculture or other industries im the country, and that much remains to be done on those lines by way of improvements and development, never- theless the staple industry of Liberia is the product of the land—coffee, and the od palm, and a few other products that are consumed im the country.
