He handled without gloves attaches to Northern people think must spoken of only with the greatest caution on south of Mason and Dixon's line some statements at first seemed almost to take the breath away from his hearts, but it was not long before they paid tribute to his sincerity and fearless plain peaking by hearty applause. Speaking on both races he told them they might just as well make up their minds to stay there they were, and work out the problem. "The white men in the South cannot get along without the Negro," he told them, any more than the Negro can get along without them. Each would be lonely without the other. Besides, we Negroes are a rapidly increasing race. It takes ten per cent of white blood to make a white man, but it only takes 1 per cent of Negro blood to make a Negro. Turning to his own race he urged them to cultivate reliability. "You have as a race the tendency to be constantly on the move. Get over that tendency. Cultivate a reputation for reliability. Be dependable. Pick out the place you want to live in and make up your minds to stay there and rear your families there. Buy your homes and become taxpayers in lieu of rent-payers. Start a bank account. Support the institutions of your city. Make yourselves valued and respected members of the community. Whatever work or business you engage in put your best efforts into it. Don't be satisfied with doing anything half-well." The were only a few of the counsels he gave them. The meeting closed with the song of plantation songs in which the audience joined. As they filed out of the lobby one heard only words of praise. If a young white men were more outspoken than the Negroes "You can't tell me," drawled one tall and a man who well might have held the title "colonel" if he didn't actually "no" can't tell me that man nor can't red.

It will set both black and white to thinking, and it will surely inspire both to ponder how they may live up to the standard that Dr. Washington has set before them.

From Bristol the train proceeded to Johnson City, one of the new manufacturing cities of the east Tennessee Ten years ago it was a village To-day it is a bustling, though somewhat "spread out" city of 12,000 with steel mills, tanneries, a Carnegie Library, and a fine $75,000 Federal building in process of construction - a tribute to the influence of Congressman Brownlow, the east Tennessee Republican boss, with the Appropriation Committee in the House of Representatives. Here, too, was a great crowd at the railway station, and as Dr Washington appeared on the car steps the band from the National Soldiers' Home, which is situated here, struck a welcome invitation to the man it has its "Hippodrome," a large rink-like hall a few blocks from the station, and to this place the crowd went. Here as in Bristol business had practically been suspended, schools, both black and white, had been let out early, and the children marshalled by their teachers, marched to the Hippodrome in a body. Between 2,500 and 2,800 persons crowded into the barn-like structure, filling it to the doors. More than half were white. Mayor Burbage introduced the speaker, who was received enthusiastically. After the speech hundreds accompanied Dr Washington to his train, shook his hand, and cheered long and vigorously till the train drew out Greenville was the next stop on the route. It was dark when the special train reached the city, but there were a hundred men and women at the station to welcome it. Dr. Washington's party was driven in buses to Greenville College, a Negro school located a half-mile out of town. The moon was shimmering through a thick haze, which was setting down over the hills, and the coach clanged a welcome to the crew who served a commotion room of the college after which all were driven back to town, where the meeting took place in a crowded hall. At 10:30 the special left for Knoxville, and the first day of the Tennessee pilgrimage was over. Enthusiastic Meeting at Knoxville. One of the largest and most enthusiastic meetings of the pilgrimage took place at Knoxville last Friday evening when the educator spoke at the auditorium. Six hundred whites were in the audience, and over three hundred persons were turned away. G. W. Franklin, the Negro undertaker, presided Prog.

Belleves That in the Future More Cordial Relations Will Be Established Between Two Races. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. HAMPTON, Va., Nov 23—In his address at Hampton Institute last Saturday, President Taft stated that in his opinion such institutions as Hampton and Tuskegee and the spirit of co-operation which they engender among both race, for the general uplift of humanity are doing more for the solution of the so-called race problem than any other factors that could be brought to bear. In assuming his duties as a member of the Board of Trustees of Hampton Institute, President Taft declared that he wished to te-tify to the interests of the American people in the problems being worked out by Hampton, and appeared to be enthused over the good work Negro schools in the South are accomplishing. The President spent all Saturday at Hampton Institute. During the forenoon he attended a meeting of the board, inspected the buildings, reviewed the students and was entertained at lunchoon. He made an address to the students and to a large gathering of whites in the school late in the afternoon. Dr Charles W. Elliot. President emeritus of Harvard, Bishop McVikar, of Rhode Island, Andrew Carnegie, and President Herbert B Frizzell, of Hampton, also were among the speakers Mr Carnegie paid a high tribute to President Taft and declared that among other things, he had done more than any other man to bring the North and the South into closer union. He predicted that Mr Taft would go down in history as "the great pacificator." Mr Carnegie predicted that the lines between the white and colored races would soon be obliterated, as the lines between the North and the South so rapidly are disappearing. He explained, "that the black man will cease to be black, but I do mean that the races will live in contentedness, wishing prosperity each to the other, and with a common purpose in mind will go forward hand in hand." A feature of the exercises in the gymnasium this afternoon was the chorus singing of the entire student body. They sang plantation melodies and camp meeting songs that fairly swayed the audience "Annie Laurie" and other Scotch melodies were sung just before Mr Carnegie was introduced. "It was not fair," said he, "that just as I was thinking of something to say READ THE NEW YORK AGE A National Weekly of Large Circulation Appears on the news stands of Greater New York every Thursday Delivered to any address upon application Is the LEADING ADVERTISING MEDIUM of its kind to you you should subdue me with Scotch songs. I have heard Negroes sing before, and I have always thought that no other voice more resembled the organ or was superior to it. I have heard the famous Russian choir and the great oratorio societies of Britain and other nations, and, after all I have said that I never have had music affect me like the Negroes' voices. "You," he added, addressing the students, "will be wanted in the celestial choir in large numbers." INTERESTED IN EXPOSITION President Taft Heirs of Proposed Celebration in 1913—All Interested. Special to THE NEW YORK POST WASHINGTON. D. C. Nov 23—Booker T Washington, accompanied by a party of representative Negroes, called on President Taft in the interest of the project to hold a great Negro exposition in 1913, commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation of the Negro in America. The party was in conference with the President for some time, and Mr Taft expressed deep interest in the proposed exposition, which will very likely receive his hearty support. Dr. Washington explained to the President that January 1 is the date that marks the fiftieth anniversary of the issuance of the Proclamation of Emancipation and that the Negroes of the United States thought it would be fitting that the anniversary year be signally observed, that the semi-centennial celebration should take the form of an exposition whose grounds, buildings, exhibits and entertainments of various kinds would show to the world in unmistakable terms the progress of the race in education, art, invention, science, literature, music, commerce, manufacture, agricultural, mechanical arts, journalism and religion. In speaking of the proposed exposition after his talk with the President, Dr Washington said to the newspaper men "I have been asked by a committee of Negroes to place this matter before the President of the United States and enlist his sympathy and co-operation in the exposition if possible. "While definite plans have not been perfected, the general idea is to plan for an exposition that will show the Negro's progress during the fifty years of his freedom in material, educational, moral and religious directions, and also show the progress that the white during the days of slavery. "It is the plan to enrich the lives and sympathy hot only of his people, but of the leaders of the white race." "This movement has already been widely discussed in the Southern white papers, and practically without exception both the Southern papers and leading Southern white men have given it to their cordial indorsement. "Few movements can do more just now to encourage the Negro to live high, useful lives and at the same time further cement the friendly relations existing between black people and white people than an exposition of this kind. I am aware of the fact that a good many exposition have been held in recent years but this will be so different and unique that I believe that the people of this country will feel that there is a call for it and that it ought to be held. Just now, when the nations of Europe are deeply concerned about the millions of black people in Africa, I feel this country can teach the world a lesson through such an exposition, showing how it is possible for two races to live together in peace and in mutual helpfulness. There is no other part of the globe where so large a number of black people are living in close contact with so many white people, where there is such a degree of good will and absence of friction as in this country. This I state notwithstanding occasional outbreaks and eruptions which will take place in the case of any race." Major Lynch Retained. WASHINGTON, D C, Nov 23—Maj John R Lynch, now stationed in the San Francisco as paymaster in the U S A, has been notified that he will be continued on the active list until the time of enforced retirement, which is at the age of sixty-four years, and further, that he will not be required to ride or walk in the future. The gives Maj Lynch nearly two years more to serve on the active list. There was a small coterie of insignificant barkers here in Washington who would have been delightful had President Taft retired the Major. Now that it is known that he is to continue on the active list, and as to that there had not existed any doubts, they will feel mightily depressed, and especially will a clerk in the War Department, who has been writing a lot of rubbish about Maj Lynch's retirement. MANDATORY LAWS After a Lynching Governor Has Right to Remove Sheriff - Resolutions Adopted at Meeting. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Whereas, the Governor has been disgraced by four lynchings of indescribable brutality; Resolved. That we call upon our public, from above to below, before, rather than after, lynchings; and we demand the impeachment of oculars guilty of criminal neglect of the duty wise to upon lynchings to "clarify the atmosphere." Resolved. That the statute directing the Governor to remove a sheriff who permits a prisoner to be bound from abuse and lynching is a wholesome insult to effective service which should be vigorously enforced, and we call upon Governor to do his plain duty under the law. SPRINGHIELD, Ill. Nov 23—Gov Deneen has declared the office of sheriff of Alexander County vacant because Sheriff Frank E. Davis allowed William Jamas, colored, and Henry Salzner, white, to be taken from his care and lynched at Carro on November 11. The Governor acted in observance of a law that provides that whenever a sheriff surrenders a prisoner to a mob his office expires immediately. The Negroes of Chicago demanded that Davis be dismissed as Sheriff of Alexander County. A committee, composed of Dr. George Hall, Maj J L. Buckner, Dr J W. McDowell, Rev William Gray, W F. Childs, I C Harris, Henry M. Porter, W G Anderson, George F Kine and Assistant State's Attorney F L. Barnett, took up the matter with Gov. Deneen. Last week a big meeting of Negro citizens was held at the Institutional Church, 1825 Dearborn street, and resolutions were adopted demanding that the executive of the State remove Sheriff Davis on the ground that there is on the books a statute which makes mandatory the removal of a sheriff after lynching Rev. A. J Carey presided. Assistant State's Atorney F. L. Barrett has given out the following statement from the action of the Negroes of Chicago: "The law on the subject is specific, and is the colored man's strongest weapon against lynching. The statute, enacted four years ago, never has been invoked, but nevertheless it is perfectly plain in its wording, which makes it mandatorily up on the governor to remove from office forthwith the sheriff of any county in which a man, black or white has been taken by force from jail or the custody of that sheriff and launched. The removal from office is mandatorily, but after investigation, if the sheriff process himself blameless, he may be convicted, himself roasted," declared Rev Dr Carey "Under the law every man is innocent until he has been proved guilty by the process. But with this poor man the mob has forever sealed his lips. It isn't the fact that a human life was sacrificed by that mob, but it's the injustice of the thing that stirs our blood. "And then, following the lynching we witnessed an edifying spectacle in Cairo when ministers of the gospel arose in their pulpits Sunday morning and sought to justify the crime declaring that a lynching was needed to purify the town. Those ministers preached that he should have weared that if they didn't do so they would lose their jobs. The colored race will not tolerate these conditions which bring so much suffering. If there is to be suffering the whites must suffer with the blacks. "We must get together and confer with such leaders of the white race as Miss Jane Addams, Jenkin Lloyd Jones, H H Kohlsaat and others who are above prejudice Something must be done, and from a conference with such as these much good will result" Agricultural Exhibits Feature of Fair. MAYON, Ga. Nov 23—The third annual fair of the Colored State Fair and Industrial Association, which opened November 10, closed Saturday in a blaze of glory. The attendance was very large on the closing day, and the events were many and interesting The agricultural exhibits were the feature of the fair THE LATE RICHARD GILL FORRESTER RICHARD GILL FORRESTER DEAD Man Who Was the First to Holst Union Flag in Richmond, Va., Pansage Away. In the death of Richard Gill Forrester, who died in New York and was buried in Newport, R. I., on November 15, there passed away a soldier who came into prominence by gaining the distinction of being the first man who hosted the Union flag in Richmond after the Civil War. The story of how the young Negro hung the stars and stripes on the Confederate Capitol in Richmond on the morning of April 3, 1865, is told by Lieut S Millet Thompson of the Thirteenth New Hampshire Regiment as follows. "The first detachment of Union troops to enter the city of Richmond on the third of April, 1865, was my detachment, the pickets of the First brigade. There was no flag on the roof of the capitol when I entered the grounds, but within a few minutes it suddenly appeared on the flagstaff on the roof, and immediately afterward I had a conversation with the man who raised it. He was a light colored boy named Richard G. Forrester, lying on the corner of College and Marshall streets. "When the State of Virginia passed the ordinance of secession, he was a page or errand boy employed in the capitol. The secessionists tore down the flag and threw it among some rubbish in the yard." At the time we convened opportunity rolls flag in richmond, california and it his home place placed it in his bed, where he slept on it nightly since that time. This morning, he said, as soon as he dared after the Confederates had left the city, he drew the old flag from its hiding place, ran to the capitol with it, mounted to the top and ran the flag up the flagstaff. This was the first flag hoisted in Richmond after its evacuation by the Confederates." The deceased worked several years in the post office at Richmond as mail carrier, after which he moved to New York where he had been in the employ of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad for the past 20 years. He leaves a widow, Mrs Laura B. Forrest, and three daughters—Mrs. E. Van Horne and Mr. G. Barclay of the city, Jillian Linn M. Forrest of New York. He was the son of the late Richard Forrest, a former alderman and member of the school board of Richmond, Va. Funeral services were held over the remains at his late residence 233 West 134th street. Dr. William H Brooks officiating. Harry T Burleigh sang a solo. The body was taken to Newport, R I. by C Franklin Carr, and was buried with military honors by the Lawon and Warren Post No 5.

PRICE, 5 CENTS CONDITIONS ARE IMPROVED Industrial Training for New York Negroes Broadened COMMITTEE BUSY Actively Engaged in Establishing Schools for Women and Supplying Them With Employment Model Treatment Being Built on West Sixth-third Street—Friendly Feeling of Co-operation Developing. Very quietly but along very practical lines has the work of the Committee for Improving the Industrial Conditions of Negroes in New York been carried on during the past two years A report has just been issued by Victor G-Flynn, secretary of the committee. Men have had new avenues opened to them in their trades, direction has been given in the field of domestic service, industrial training has been broadened for city Negroes of the North along lines which seem to promise somewhat the same results (if prosecuted as valorously), which have come about in the South through Tuskegee and Hampton New trade classes in the public schools have been opened and through a mechanization association and an industrial center a friendly spirit of co-operation is developing The report says. Through the Neighborhood W Committee, the Rev Samuel H. B. chairman, Public School No. 80, West Forty-first street, was put a committee's disposal during the sur- sue as an industrial center. Classes for women in millinery, flower-making and making were held four nights in Opuntia of the coast. The supply a working place for women are already proficient in some hand- but are so situated as to have no to work; these women could con- center and spend their evening fortably and profitably. Of the two new Evening School opened in New York Hills, in the portant colored sections in addition, a vocational school, there is being opened this fall in the new building situated on 138th street west of Fifth avenue. In this school instruction will be given in wood-working, both bench and lathe, mechanical drawing, including the making and reading of plans and specifications, working drawings, blue-prints, etc.; machine-shop practice, including the use of the lathe, shaper, planer, drill-drill, miller, grinder and other machines, together with bench-work, filing, assembling, tool-making, etc. There will also be a thorough course in printing in all its branches. As this school is in the same neighborhood, the committee hopes to see a fair number of colored boys enrolled. Work of Employmen Committee. Lie the guidance of the Employmen Committee's Mechanics' was begun last January. Its purpose is to bring Negro men who have learned trades into acquaintance with one another and, in this way, to stimulate friendships that shall work for the solidifying of the race without creating, at the same time, those antagonisms for the men of other races that have at times marred efforts at solidification. Dues in the association are nominal. The secretary of the committee is also the secretary of the association, which now numbers fifty three members, gathered from the ranks of union and nonunion workmen and others who have learned their trades but are now engaged in other work. Through the instrumentality of the committee, the City and Suburban Homes Company has become interested in the employment of colored mechanics in its extensive building operations. The company has used Negro bricklayers and is now employing several Negro carpenters on its work. The company is building a large model tenement for Negroes on West Sixty-third street, just back of the "Luskeeger," which has been so successfully managed by them for the last five years. In this connection the City and Suburban Homes Company solicits the purchase of its stock by those who are interested in the living conditions of Negroes in the city, or in supplying them with work at their trades. The Dock work undertaken by the Association for the Protection of Colored Women, and made a part of the committee's work more than a year ago, is being continued along the lines adopted at that time. The matron in charge meets the engineers of the Mallory, City and Quebec lines, the latter from the West Indies. The Manhattan Trade School has been very successful in securing positions for its graduates in a number of factories. Among the members of the committee interested in the work of improving the industrial conditions of the Negroes of New York City are Isaac N. Seligman, William J. Schieffel, George McAneny, William L. Bulkley, A S Frissell, Fred R. Moore, Seth P. Stewart, Samuel H. Bishop, W. H. Brooks, W. Franklin Bush, Franklin W. Hooper, Paul U. Kellogg, Jacob W. Mack, Wilford H. Smith, Dr E. P. Roberts, Victor G. Flynn, Dr. P. A. Johnson and Miss Francis E. Kellor.

The idea of a colored board of trade being seriously talked up among the colored citizens of Washington. It is not only that the board should secure the Capital city's Negro proper business and political recognition. Koeceo C. Bruce, assistant superintendent of public schools, delivered an address from the Economic Future So-Lits recently on the Economic Future. So-Lits Mr. Bruce said "Despite the gravest disadvantages, the industrial condition and efficiency of the black farmer in the blackest of Alabama's black belts substantially amproved. Segregation has not stolled and stunned the material progress by eliminating the slave man's example; the progress made the slave man would benefit from the advantage will stoggle be held. The black man not stolled and stunned "they are hooped up and stunned by the activities of the crop lion system, hopeful and eager too. To no paltry extent they are shrewed in learning and applying the lessons of hard experience. Theencies are clearly apparent in this black man substantially assure the increasing industrial efficiency of the Negro farmer. "In the hurly-burly of a highly energetic civilization bert upon material achievement, the Negro is summoned to catch up and keep up with the people of the coast and on suspicion the centuries of cavalry and law enforcement stamped. For the Negro to have caught up in forty-five troubled years of freedom is inconceivable except upon a catalytic theory of social progress; that on the whole the Negro in the central Alabama has developed notably and ably for defence for the future, is indubitable. The Negro is of course, not absolute but relative development; but this test cannot be inexorably applied for many years because a vast and growing population cannot be supplanted in the twinkling of an eye. It is understood on the best of authority that Leutnant Benjamin Oliver Davis, now with the 10th Cavalry, will soon be stationed at Monrovia, Liberia, as military attache to the Legation with minister Laurent Lyon.

W. Henderson and a very fine reception last Thursday night. After several speeches by officers of the church, Bishop W. Lord, pastor of the church, Baptist Church delivered a very interesting address, after which Mr. Douglas, one of our leading caterers, served a very elegant supper to all presidents. Dr. Henderson was called on for a speech, but said on some occasions he always left the speech-making to his bet half hour, and then quickly addressed, thanking the friends for their great kindness to herself and husband during their three years' stay in this city. Mrs. Henderson is a very estimable lady, and all listened to her remarks with great pleasure. Old Charles Street Church has been a highly prosperous place. Dr. De Wendy was born in his pastor, and over three hundred new members have been added to its roll.

Nov. 22 - A large attendance was out at the Cambridge Men's Forum Sunday to hear Professor J. W. Owletrea, president of the East Tennessee Normal and Industrial Institute, of Harriman, Tenn., speak upon "Southern Education and its Reasoning the Negro." Much knowledge was gained from the real meaning of Southern education. The speaker said in part that the term Southern, as applied to education, is no longer synonymous with a cheap, worthless, short-cut, imperfect system, aiming at nothing definite in life, but rather at something that is important for an educational system that connects mind with matter, that not only broadens the intellect, awakens and strengthens the intellect, but touches the "will," and cause the Negro to cease to dream about things, but to get up and do all things, calming him in a sane and intelligent manner to the conditions by which he is surrounded. The education of the South, he continued, has so connected the mind with the hand that in the larger spheres of moral, intellectual and industrial growth the products of the Negro schools are moving spirits and the master minds. Being put upon his resources, the Negro of the South has been forced to think and act for himself. Thought Morris Brown and Roger Williams what they are today, he declared The thoughts and actions of Dr Booker T Washington have been placed upon the map of nations and stands out today all may see the great Tuskegee Institute. The Negro of the South, he concluded, is not asking for consideration because he is a Negro, but simply asking that worth and merit be the standard. Morris Brown and Vale brought in touch with the South and sugar plantations of the South "You strong men of the North must roll up your sleeves and enlist in this fight for life and progress. You can live in the North with a thousand miles between us. Speeches made on Boston Connoun or at the foot of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw's monument don't do us very much good in the South. I say to the young Negro in the North, "Come South and serve your people." By a union of forces we will soon be able to present one of the livest and most progressive people that the world has ever known." Among others who were present and spoke on the paper were Lawyer Julius L. Mitchell, of Providence; Rev D. Sampson, presiding elder of the A. M. E. church; Rev A. V. Morton, and Mrs. Olivia Ward Bush, of Roxbury, Mass. W. Harrison, of Boston, will speak on the white plague at the Forum next Sunday, and the Hon. Jufus L.

PITTSBURG Y. M. C. A. PROPOSED Many Prominent Said To Be Attached— Successful Sacred Society. Regular Correspondence of The AGR. Pittsburgh, Pa, November 82 - The sacred concert at Trinity Congregational Church last Sunday night was attended by an appreciative and representative audience. A paper by Miss Irene Johnson on "The Influence of Environment's" deserves special mention and should have been heard by a greater number of parents and guardians. The influence for good or evil by day' association with others, as well as by reading books, was pictured in a way to leave no doubt in the minds of her hearers—that Miss Johnson had given her subject much thought. After a brief review of history in proof of her argument, Miss Johnson made a plea for parents to guard well their actions in the presence of the young, and see to it that their children read such books as would help them to be strong men and women. The music and other numbers on the program showed that great care had been exercised in their selection Mrs. B C Rose, of Joseph street, East End, who has been ill for some time, is convalescing. Revival services held at Rodman and M. Zion Baptist Church and Matte Anderson, daughters of Mrs. S. Anderson, of the North Side, are employed at the Star Theater, this city. These two girls have shown some ability as singers and are搞ing to take lessons in vocal training, after which they hope to travel abroad. R S Ward and wife, of 2012 Mary street, S.

A newly organized club christened the "Firma J Moore Literary and Art Circle" is now a member of the "State Federation of Negro Women's Clubs" and an auxiliary for the support and assistance at New Castle, Pa, for the hooves and destitute children.

Mrs. Page mentioned "Ignorance, Race Hatred, Poverty and Indifference" as being the four great stumbling blocks to our progress. After addressing the issues, Mrs. Page painted a sad picture of their hard struggles for charity work by reason of not having Negro merchants able to make donations to help them in their well-begun work. Mrs. Page concluded by appealing to members of the race to make donations to the stumbling blocks that impede our onward march. The familiar song, "If God Is for Us, Who can Be Against Us?" was feelingly rendered by the Married Women's Culture Euk of the Federal State. While the women of Pittsburg are struggling against great odds, they are doing greater work for our uplift than the men, "The Working Girls' Home," "The Home for Friendless Children," "The Hooker, Washington Hospital and the Berksham Home," are some of the associations here started and operated by our women. If there is a single association in Pittsburg started by Negro men to which any one may point with pride—it has not as yet been discovered Negro women to start anything on the unplinking order. It looks now as if we are going to have a Jim-Crow branch of the Y M. C A. Invitations are out asking prominent officers of the Y M. C A at a banquet. It may not be generally known—but it is a fact, nevertheless—there are white dentists here who have separate places for Negroes. Self-respecting Negroes are to come to the hospital to feel welcome and are treated with courtesy. By reason of the Negro's race identity he is denied the privilege of meeting in the association of the Y M. C A. in instead of the same Y M. C A. in this location and prejudice to color, supported by Negroes of education and means. The Y M. C A is establishing separate branches for Negroes all over the country and judging from the support the big Negro is giving the movie of the Negroes is grapped with the same thing. A man is here who says if he could receive the same support from the big Negroes they are arranging to give the Y M. C A. he could have an association owned and controlled by Negroes—that would grow the race A few days after the banquet, names of prominent Negroes will be published as favoring the move with amounts subscribed for the purpose, after which enough thoughtless Negroes will be hiring for the use of Negroes, but which will be owned and controlled by the Y M C. A. A number of young people met at the residence of Mrs W. W. Brown, 3803 Wylie avenue, last Friday evening and formed a surprise party in honor of Miss Florence and Mrs. W. W. Brown, Mrs M. C. Merchant, 9 Horton street. The party quietly marched to the home of the girl's parents, where the evening was pleasantly spent. The Francis Harper League gave its usual annual entertainment at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church the week These children were wished to be included in helping the destitute children of the race. They have secured a home at New Castle, Pa., and are caring for several little children. The Married Women's Culture Club, the Emma Moore and the Golden Tube club, joined with the league in this year's anniversary, and provided support in maintaining the home for friendless children. Mrs. Aldrue, president of the State Federation of Negro Women's Clubs, Mrs. Georgia Ralls, president of the Emma J. Moore Literary and Art Circle; Mrs. Rosa Matthews, of the Golden Rule Club, and other prominent members made interment for the children of the home and also expressed hopes that some day it would reflect credit on our Pittsburgh women. In introducing the next speaker, Mrs. Adela Murray, the mistress of ceremonies expressed much pleasure in the league being so fortunate in securing the services of one whom she knew would say something of benefit to all. A woman, the next speaker, and while she read from manuscript, it was so well done it was as entertaining as a spicy after-dinner speech ELM CITY FAIR SUCCEEDS.

On this Thanksgiving day the Negro race, too, has especial reason to rejoice and be thankful. He has shared with all the people of America the blessings which an all wise Providence has bestowed upon them. The showers of the returning prosperity have fallen upon him just as they have fallen upon others. Great crops and bountiful harvests and increased business have been a boon to the Negro race whose masses are engaged in agricultural and industrial toil Nor has the Negro suffered unusually by epidemics or disease, nor by disasters of fire or flood or wind. For these rich things the Negro should be duly thankful. A retrospect over the last twelve months will find the Negro race actually stronger than a year ago to-day. It may be objected that there are evidences of increased or at least a more extensive prejudice. But if such is the case, that increase of prejudice is the surest indication of an increased fear and respect. In his political relations, Maryland has just fixed the northern boundary of disfranchisement. Losing in some respects, yet gaming in many other directions, the Negro has at least held his own in official positions. In education the Negro has made a scarcely realized progress during the last twelve months. To a degree never before known he has gained the active cooperation of the best white citizens North and South and including the president of the Nation. He has more colleges, more colleges, more truly educated women and women now than ever before. In industry and business the Negro has made since Thanksgiving his year ago a progress that is appropriate to the most casual observer. Hardly a community could be found today in which there are not more and better Negro enterprises than there were a year ago to-day. Perhaps the greatest step forward in the industry of the Negro since the Civil War was that decision of the Georgia railroad strike commission which settled in the affirmative the Negroes' right to work in the South at what he is able. All of these things despite the barriers which here and there have been set up him indicate that the Negro increased in strength The Nea-ained in self-confidence and he has gained in the spirit anhood and undaunted deter- to win, nor has he lost his grace of sweet temper His wise best toiling leader has been spared heat and successful efforts. In evi-ield of endeavor his representatives measured arms and acquitted them-ves like men. In short the Negro has made prog ress. A great future looms up before him. He should be thankful TED 7 LESSON OF MATSUKATA. Accord to the last issue of the New York Japanese Commercial Weekly, publishes by the New York Age Publishing Company, K. Matsukata, a Japanese cannitalist is now making a tour of inspection of the South, with a view purchasing la and Mr Matsukata already owns mu ch American real estate. The writer stat "s very frankly Japan's intention of esta blishing "closer financial and commerical relations with America." Here is indeed food for thought for the Negro If the Japanese who cannot become American citizens may break down their barriers through finance, what ought not America? Negroes do? Will it not pay the Negro to stay in the South and buy land; The man who owns the land will rule the country THE PRESIDENT AS TRUSTEE. THE PRESIDENT AS THOSE Notable, indeed, was that gathering at Hampton Institute in Virginia Saturday, when President Taft assumed his duties as a member of the Board of Trustees of that institution. Not only was the executive of the nation there and spoke, but also Dr Charles W. Ellot President emeritus of Harvard, Bishop McVicar of Rhode Island, And rew Carnegie and President Herbert B. Frizell. This testifies to the increasing interest and confidence of the white race in education for Negroes. It indicates not only the increasing desire to see the Negro given a practical but effective proportionate amount of education. Directly and indirectly the Presidents will be leave of a Hampton His frank statement that Hampton serves as a model for industrial educational work not alone for the Negro and the Indian, but for the white people as well, comes with much timeliness General Armstrong and Booker T Washington have never been properly credited for the country-wide popularity and introduction of industrial education The salvation of the poor Southern whites—if, indeed, there be any redemption for those degraded millions, must come through an industrial education, installing thrift and a respect for 'babor President Taft's trusteeship of Hampton presages an ever brighter future for that famous school and a happier outlook for the entire Southland --- THE PRIVATE SCHOOL CASE. We trust that the Negroes of New York will not mistake the scope of the private school case decision by the Appelate Court last week and be depressed thereby. The main issue under the New York law is whether the institution is public or private. In case the discrimination is practiced by a private in situation, obviously there can be no redress at law for the excluded and of fended person. That prerogative must there be permitted. The school in question seems to us upon the border line and the court has held it to be private. It was purely a question of fact to be decided. Had the school been proved a public institution, the proprietor would have been guilty of a misdemeanor and liable to civil damages. In all places of public accommodation, public transportation, public restaurants, cafes, stores and amusement house, this subterfuge of private establishment will not avail the proprietor, thanks to the rigor and clearness of the law in this State. Such is not the nature of the statute law in Iowa, where a Negro was recently refused restaurant accommodations We dwell at this length upon the law's distinctions that the colored people of this State might not be mis'ed Undismayed and unafraid, let them continue to insist on the accommodation which nature and their pleasure demand. The day is far too late for colored gentlemen and ladies to be thus humiliated in this enlightened and cosmopolitan State. Make examples of offenders as did the colored lady of the sight seeing company last spring, and this accursed spirit will vanish DENEEN STARTS RIGHT. Governor Deneen of Illinois, in mediately dismissing Sheffield Frank E James, of Alexander County, in which Cairo is situated, took the first step in retrieving Illinois from the heathenish outbreaks of last week. The postmaster of the county recognized in the mob should be dismissed at once by Postmaster Hitchcock. An example should be made of these two to start with Illinois law covers lynching very thoroughly and gives the authorities ample power to mete out effective punishment. That State was never more deeply disgraced than by the mob whose women led in the hanging and burning of the Negro whose head was stuck on a pole and the bits of whose heart and body was passed around as souvenirs. Governor Deneen should rouse him self to the demand of the situation and deal in such drastic fashion with the rosters that Illinois would not soon again be thus called upon. He has started right. The entire country expects him to follow up his splendid lead. --- THE DEATH OF FRIENDS. Just as in the death of John Stewart Kennedy, who bequeathed $100,000 each to Hampton and Tuckegge, so in the death of Richard Watson Gilder, the editor of the Quentry, there passes a true but little-known friend of the Negro Mr Gilder did not always proclaim from the houseup his friendship for the black man, but therein, those near him say, lay the sincerity of his deep and abiding faith in the possibilities of the race. It remains for them and the confidants of Mr Bennett, just as in the case of the late H H Rodgers, to tell the extent of their concrete benefactions. Born of Colonial stock, in early youth his heart burned with the intense heat of slavery. At sixteen years of age, with two young colleagues, he produced his first newspaper in support of Bell and Warts, the two anti-slavery candidates for Presidential honors. Though always frail, at the time when the Northern cause seemed threatened in the campaign of '63, just when Negro troops were being enlisted, he had the courage of his convictions. Enlisting in Landis's Philadelphia Battery, he served until Lee was beaten back from Pennsylvania. As of a type that is rapidly passing the Negro laments the death of Richard Watson Glider. The black man henceforth must tread the wine press alone, but he must be over grateful that such men freed his manhood and gave him his present opportunity. President Simpson, by contending the various factions and his vigorous, honest policies, has brought Hayri to an almost uncontested happy era. Simpson himself late years has given way to Simon born. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 25 1909 THE NATION'S MENACE. During the year 1908 more than one hundred men, nearly all Negroes, were lynched, that is, murdered by mobs in the United States. Up to date in 1009, that number has already been more than equaled, and the close of the year will doubtless see that record greatly excelled. During each of these years the number of persons otherwise lynched—that is, beaten, robbed or exiled by the law of the mob—is a hundred-fold the number killed outright Despite the sporadic, isolated and half-hearted efforts made to enforce the supremacy of the courts, the Southern States seem now to be slipping back into the slough of private vengeance and mob rule. Mississippi mobs in the last few months have exiled two of her leading and most useful citizens, one, the white president of a large industrial school, the other, a Negro bishop, practical and powerful in leading his lowly people to a better life. But a few days ago a colored mother and daughter were killed in cold blood by a Mississippi man and his son because the mother objected to her daughter being the forced ristress of the son Kentucky and Tennessee are on the eve of another plunge into night rider discord, destruction and murder. Scarcely a day passes but comes the Southern press report telling only the half truth of some Negro strung up and riddled by bullets. Whites are not only ruthlessly killing Negroes but recklessly killing other whites Nor is the South any longer the sole offender at whom the North can point the finger of holy scorn. At Gloucester City, in New Jersey, week before last, a mob of five hundred stormed and was about to set fire to the house of new residents when the police revea'ed the occupants as white people and not Negroes. Ten thousand men and women, with the women as leaders in Caro, Illinois, last week took part in the most ghoulish murder and burning of a Negro in recent times. In the South at the present time there are turned loose upon the country hundreds of thousands of these lynch murderers. Springfield and Caro, Illinois, Springfield, Ohio, Gloucester City, and even New York City attest the growth of the mob spirit in the North. The growth of the mob law is to-day the greatest menace to the American nation. The laws delay and the unmentionable crime no longer furnish a sufficient excuse America is again marching headlong toward the precipice "of the mobocratic spirit" which Abraham Lincoln foresaw. Deluding herself in complacency, this nation may be supremely concerned about the conservation of the country's resources. Conservative leaders like James J. Hill may talk about the nation being on the down grade that leads to destruction because of the extravagance and increased cost of living. But those who have an eye for the future of this land must realize now that unless the rule of law is conserved, this fair land need care naught about anything else. Industry may lag and capital may find poor investment to-day in the South because of the effects of the mob spirit. But the growth of this self-propagating spirit may turn disgruntled labor in the North mad in a decade from now and corporation and capitalist alike find destruction in the rampage of a mob --- The case has already passed beyond the domain of the Negro Neither race nor State nor section compasses it. The question is nation wide in its scope. If not now, the effect will soon be nation wide. It has been and is being bred into the blood of the coming generation. Denunciation and occasional punishment of courts and sheriffs will not suffice. Five preachers and the Mayor of Cairo applauded their city's disgrace because of its "salutary effect." Officials in the main how to the sentiment of the country. The country seems dead to its danger. From one end of this country to the other there should be waged a campaign of educating a strong public sentiment for law and order. Preachers and teachers in church and classroom should instill a respect for the supremacy of courts and ordered justice. The next national conference of governors should consider frankly this vital, burning question. President Taft should propose it then. He should make some strong recommendations in his coming message to Congress in regard to it. Lynch law is the greatest menace to this nation and she must be made to realize it. NOT AFTER MANY DAYS The Liberian demand for American-made goods, it is reported, has greatly increased since the visit of the American commission last Summer to Monrova to inquire into conditions and report recommendations to the State department. The official report discloses the further fact that the goods of other countries are sold with difficulty if at all, while American goods are sold at increased profit. It is further suggested that American industries would do well to exploit the Liberian field and in turn import Liberian staples. The kindly offices of America are already bearing abundant fruit. Like the bread thrown upon the waters, it is returning not after many days. Secretary of War Dickerson, burst of good humor said that it was not strange that he, a Southerner, should recommend a Negro for office, since the office was a foreign post and the applicant a Tennessean. The Secretary just ought to know in what good humor Negroes are thinking they gave him his present chance. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS. Of course, it might be better, but it pays to be thankful that it isn't any worse. Minister Ernest Lyon of Liberia has been surfeited with banquets, attention and social honors of all kinds since he has been visiting in this country. It would be trite to say he has been lionized, 'let us call him "some social bear-cat"' When Teddy comes marching home again, Hooray! hooray! We'll give him a hearty welcome then, Hooray! hooray! Governor Fort of New Jersey appointed Howard Day as Document Clerk at Trenton to succeed the late R. Henry Herbert. Unlike the executive in some of the neighboring States, the New Jersey Governor has seen the light among his dark subjects. Collector Loeb of the Port of New York, inoculated with the Roosevelt virus, has not only given the Negro the squarest deal of any recent collector, but has given grafters big and small a black eye and has given the newspapers a hot fresh one every minute, etc., just as Roosevelt did. --- Andrew Carnegie, at Hampton Institute, after he had heard the large student body sing Anne Laurie and other Scotch songs, said with happy appreciation that Negroes will be wanted in large numbers in the celestial choir. No doubt, but here the Negro would gladly exchange places with Mr Carnegie. Chairman M. E. Cooley, of the Railways Bureau of the United States Interstate Commerce Commission, was in Philadelphia recently to consult Edward Beckham, the Negro chemist, on the deterioration of steel rail. The United States never consulted the Negro only upon the hardest subjects and only when things begin to look rotten. JERSEY LAWYER APPROVES Ago Editorial on Need of Negro Bar Association. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE: Two years ago, in your editorial, you emphasized the facts that the legal authority of Kentucky had organized a bar association. Before that time I had read in the "Negal Notes," of the Edward Thompson Company, of the organization of this body of Negroes in the profession, so far as they are concerned. I feel a deep interest in this movement, as a member of the bars of the States of Virginia, District of Columbia and New Jersey, from the fact that the bar association, as a rule, of the colleges of the participation in their various celebrations and social functions, in the various meetings accorded to them, with a free discussion of all the questions which relate to the body of Negroes, when he thought that the members of the bar of the State of New York might in some common cause come together and form a bar association, which would, in its entirety, include any member of the bars of the State of New York and any other State who would care to participate, for the purpose of elevating the Negroes who have been admitted to the bars of the States of the United States to practice as lawyers, and in this way, the highest degree the standard of the profession among the Negro practice- It is quite frequently said that the Negro practitioners are confined to the police or magistrate's court, and do not rise above that position. If this is true, it therefore behaves the Negroes who have elisted in this cause to elevate the profession to the degree that it is supposed as other behavior; the law are respected. First appear a corporation lawyer who is unknown, in the sense that he is known today. I therefore agree with you that it is an imperative duty pressing on the New Jersey and New York and others who may desire to participate in this movement, to start at once in the formation of an organization which will make itself felt for these munities and gain relief for those who may participate. If THE AGE or any number of practitioners in New York, will suggest some means of putting this movement on foot, we assure you that the New Jersey members will be at its command.

Taylor, the well-known broker, of 35 Broad street, by the Curb recently, are of no misleading a character as to create a false impression in the minds of the public. It is only right to state here that Mr. Taylor's responsibility and standing is in no worse affected. He was sold out under the rules because of his unavoidable absence, and not because of any inability to his part to meet his desire or desire to avoid the same. The entire matter was due to a mistake, and no blame attaches Mr. Taylor. For a long time Mr. Taylor has been prominent in the financial community, with his ability and experience, who has always been noted for the promptness with which he met his obligations.

Washington delivered here on Saturday, September 15, 1863, did not have any of the literary flights words, which "butter no paraphrms," but he said those things which are sternly practical and helpful to his race. He emphasized the great responsibility that the president must fortune members of his race to help them. No less important in his view, and in he is the wisest man of his race to day, is the duty that the progressive and thrifty elements owe to make the shiftless and criminal element move on. Certainly his honorable, is the least we should be willing to accept without question. - The Omaha Enterprise. The local colored business men's organization is bestirring itself and working up a spirit among St. Louisians of color to start in business. This is necessary if it is going to be successful, however, we would like to attract their attention, to the fact that a shirt factory has been established in St. Louis for the employment of colored girls to make shirts. These are already twenty or thirty colored in the town and the managers need more than 200 Negro girls. This is a good beginning to teach our girls to be something, to do something, and to make something. We need to make and manufacture the necessities we can wear and to furnish and fri cultures of life. A shirt factory is worth more to the race than a vauldee or a minstrel troupe.

When they come up to the City Hall they will be sent up to the police department and we answered that the decent, selfish Negro would receive the same kind of treatment under Mr. Head as under Mr. Grinstead and that the class of Negroes who frequented the City Hall ought to come out to the work of that kind of Negro the better it would for both the whites and the blacks. What we glanced from the policeman was that the Republicans blame the Negro for the defeat of the party, when the white was coming to it, because it took too much punishment." The Louisville (Ky.

Many of the farmers are now paying off their mortgage, taking up notes and meeting other outstanding obligations and then depositing a balance in the bank. We talked with farmers who are buying more land, some are planning to erect a better house, many organs, sewing a house, horses and bugles have been purchased, and we find that many of the farmers have sent their boys and girls off to some good educational institution.

State Fulfill Patriotic Pledge Offered in Union Square, Sayre Mall. No single result of the elections of November 2 is more creditable to those who brought it about than the defeat in Maryland of the proposed constitutional amendment to disfranchise the Negroes. While the verdict is a moral victory for the Democrats, it is not squarrely presented as a party measure by the Democrats, the outcome is in a larger sense a triumph of justice and reason irrespective of partisan distinctions. The honor belongs in the highest sense to the commonwealth of Maryland for the reason that the Democrats elected their nominee for State Controller by 9,000, the disfranchisement amendment was defeated by 16,155. In other words a large body of Democrats, while loyalty supporting their party, did not vote against a measure the adoption of which would have cast a stigma upon the State The vote of Maryland on this question is of National interest, in that it probably marks the end of the agitation for Negro disfranchisement in States that remained loyal to the Union in the Civil War. The late Senator Hour, of Massachusetts, once presented the book of the boundaries of the disfranchisement would be conterminous with those of the Southern Confederacy, but doubted if it would ever make any effective headway beyond them. This opinion appears to have been confirmed by the Maryland result. Anti-Negro sentiment in that State is less than lukewarm. The people as a whole are not in favor of the demand that the Negro be deprived of bad no sinene, intelligent support even in the party that made it a campaign issue. Maryland could have voted on this question otherwise than as she did without outstultifying and debasing herself. She not only remained true to the Union when she contributed more than 40,000 soldiers and sailors to the Union army and navy. In that patriotic offering to the cause of liberty and justice under a united republic was written the pledge which the vote of the people fulfilled. The New York Evening Mail MOB MURDER'S CLIMAX The Applause of Cairo Pulpits Almost Incredible, Says Post. Mob murder reaches its climax when the Church openly comes to its defense. From half a dozen pulpins in Cairo, yesterday, the double lynching of last week was applauded as a natural outburst by the judge of the law of the State to punish crime. Even the much trouble in fashioning its apologies. This failure, supposed or real, of judges and juries to convict has been for some years the hardest-worked justification for communities which have sloughed off the civilization of ten thousand years to defame a defense, does the argument amount to? Are criminal court judges superimposed upon the people of Illinois by some external power, or are they the creatures of the people's own selection? Are Cairo's juries made up of seraphim and cherubium softened into criminal mercy, or are they the creatures of Cairo, III, the very citizens who with rope and pistol-shot are so brave is meting out the punishment which as jurymen they have not the heart to apportion? How can a democracy maintain, without crying shame upon itself, that the punishment which they are instituted, are unrepresentative? We can imagine a Mindu Brabhin justifying murder for the English oppressor, we can imagine a Christian priest justifying the assassination of a despot, but that ministers of the gospel should sympathize with mob murder in a free and self-sacrificing manner, utterly incredible if Cairo had not supplied the fact —The New York Evening Post CHICAGOANS DISSECT CELLOM. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE In reply to a letter from the Frederick Douglas Center asking about his recent attorneys on the question of Negro dis- franchisement. Senator Cullom makes re- ply by enclosing a clipping from the Washington Post of November 8. The author of the letter requests that we relieve our worst fears, but is not as con- ciptively satisfactory as might be wished. Senator Cullum is a Republican of the stalwart school, whose main political goal is a high protective tariff. Naturally he would like to convert the South to a more liberal state, but he believes might easily be done here, with white man's persistent determination not to ally himself in any way with the black man. According to the Senator the South is ready to exchange its aggressive traditional policy of free trade or commerce with the North, principles of the Northern Republican. It is withheld only we are told, by the fear of Negro domination, of colored men in office. They are afraid of the race issue, and would be interesting to hear what some of our Southern statesmen think of the Senator's confident announcement that the South is getting ready to adopt protection. That may be true, but the proofs of how Northern Republicans are engaged on this issue and the serious men involved to the party are well known The one serious omission in the Senator's statement lies in the signal failure to touch on the moral aspect of the question. It says nothing to reassure us as anyone he thinks the right to vote might be withheld from certain classes. If greater industrial prosperity might enlarge his chief concern, he for stagnant industries that a protective tariff might revise. This is not high ground for a statesman. It is only the argument of the no-called "practical politician." CELIA PARKER WOOLLEY GEO C. HALL Chairman of Gov. --- In Peace and Harmony "I believe that the Negro is to continue to ascend morally, educationally and financially. I am quite resigning to our mission of occupying the South together, confiding in each other with increasing regard, and more and more realities that, destined as they are to dwell together, it is advantageous for both that Negro and the Negro good neighbor and labor for the benefit of common country."—Andrew Cameron. THE NEGRO EXPOSITION Semi-Centerful Will Have Great Underlying Significance Than All Others In Exposition By Planned, Says Thune. Mr Booker T Washington's plan celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of a signing of the enchantment proclamation by a National exposition of the Negro progress is not to be lightly consider. There is doubtless much to be said favor of the plan. Under conditions from favorable, the Negro has indisputably advanced and has gained some of a foothold in the agricultural, mechanical arts. That he is capable much further improvement that he has great potentialities is denied by the impulse of all benevolent people to be laid the proposed exposition favor. Mr Washington learns that it also has the approval of "leading South white men." His testimonies in that latter is of value. He probably know more than most of us of the dealing in the South toward the N.C. There will be no pronounced oppo- to the plan in the North. Money will freely given to forward it. Yet, on very day Mr Washington broadened subject to the President, the Super Court of the State of Iowa decided a business concern licensed under State laws has the right to refuse serve a Negro. It is folly to say the decision was made irrespective of color of the complainant. The details, of course, that the coffee compiling a private concern, may discernate. But the discrimination was for purely commercial reasons, and a Negro woman because of her. This discrimination and the prejo- underlying it exists in every State the Union Presumably, Mr Washington and associates believe that a clear revelation of the capacity of the Negro, and pressive exhibition of the advance has made in many fields of labor enterprise since the abolition of slavery would help to remove the prejudice which he labors. It is of the greatest importance to the Nation that here should be applified in every life that has the powers of self-provement should be recognized and courageed, that he should know the vantages of good citizenship and permitted to enjoy them, that the nuances of enterprise and distinction be opened to him If the National exposition in 1913 help the Negro in these directions, also tend to increase the understanding of his worth among those of his citizens, who have no larger rights than he possesses, proportion the exposition should be held. The latter should not be taken up, however a light hearted or sentimental it. It should be gravely considered be hand in every aspect. Its details all be made known. The only imp question thus to be answered is How will it benefit the Negro? answer, reached after mature decision, is affirmative, let us have the position, and let us all work to make as successful as possible. It will unique and have a greater under significance than any other indian exposition ever planned—The York Times, November 19, 1909. SOLYING THE RACE PROBLEM Braefort, S.

C., Nov. 22.—In responding to the toast, "Liberna and the United States" Dr. Ernest Lyon, United State Water to Liberna, spoke as follows: "Mr. Iustmaster, members of the banquet committee and gentlemen:⁷ Indeed so, I would be less than a man if I could not unmoved to respond to the sentiment proposed, Liberia and the United States, upon this occasion, amid this exhibition of fraternity and good fellowship, and this public endorsement of our official conduct during our stay in the Capitol of the Liberian Nation. Words are inadequate to express to you how deep we feel, and how profoundly grateful we are to the promoters and subscribers to this unique and significant function, which, as you have rightly said, is not only National in scope, but international in significance, and which, in the ultimate must redound to the good of the cause in which we are all so deeply interested. "While I am not entitled to speak of officially either for Liberia or the Liberians, nevertheless, I know them so well that I can venture to assert, and I feel that my distinguished prelate guest, Bishop Nott, will indorse the assertion, when I say that Liberia and the Liberians are not only grateful to you for your help, but also that you will look to you, their kinsmen in America, citizens of this great and mighty Republic, of which any sane man may well be proud, to take the initiative in every laudable endeavor which shall have as its object, the preservation of the territory of the Republic, the perpetuation of her National independence, and the anoral, intellectual and material development of her varied society, that she may affirm the purpose of her founding and the hope of her founders. --- "In considering the Laberan situation, three needs appear, needs which are not only urgent, but essential to the growth and development of the Republic. They are these: money, men and a settled boundary. The first is the guarantee of the second, and the third is the basis of rational stability and international confidence. The third is purely a diplomatic question and therefore cannot be considered with any degree of propriety in this presence. Let we wander into forbidden paths, and become entrapped in the mare of diplomatic intricacies, which situation may prove an uncomfortable one for me. Great Possibilities of Republic. "But the two former are purely economic questions. The first relates to American citizens in general and the second to Afro-American citizens in particular. Liberia needs capital to develop the country, which is rich in agricultural and mineral possibilities. Her soil is fertile and productive and the territory included within the area of the Republic is sufficient under proper cultivation to house and sustain ten millions or more of population. Her virgin soil now in a state of waste, would, under the stimulus of scientific and modern methods, soon blossom like a rose, and her magnificent valleys, now drooping because of the superabundance of noxious weeds, would again lift their beads and shout for joy at the coming of a new and better day. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100. "The introduction of capital would not only introduce new blood into the Republic but would transfer into *Western energy, initiative and push, which are so much needed at this time. It would not be difficult to induce a thrift and worthy class of emigrants to move into Liberia, if that country had the ability to offer some inducements in the way of employment. With the advent of capital would come this ability "In reference to myself, if I were to consult my own preferences I should prefer to remain in the United States where the struggle is fierce, and to be more keen than to Liberia to Return. I would obey the suggestions of my own mind, as well as to sacrifice my own interest in certain directions; but since the brethren are unwilling to make the sacrifice destiny seems to point in the direction of my return, and, of course, I would prefer to return rather than see the post suffer from the brethren's lack of official zeal "I want to see Liberia saved, not merely for the Liberians as such, but for the whole Negro race. It is sad to think that out of twelve million square miles of territory which constitute the area of the continent of Africa, only about forty thousand square miles remain in the hands of black people. Eleven million, nine hundred sixty thousand square miles have been parceled out among the European nations. You feel with me that this little spot, known as Liberia, ought to be saved and held as an experiment station on the West Coast of Africa for the practice and development of Negro self-government. Struggle of Libertians. "A knowledge of the struggles of the people of this Republic to maintain themselves on the West Coast of Africa would invite admiration rather than criticism. The first fifty years was a death struggle for existence against the ravages of an unhealthy climate, and the attempts of a savage population to exterminate them. Notwithstanding these obstacles, however, they have succeeded in maintaining a government which is recognized by the sisterhood of nations, and is also extending its rule to the tribunal regions within the influence of the Republic. No other spectacle is presented to the world than that which is presented by this effort of the Liberian, so maintain themselves against the influence of paganism and mohammedanism. Two millions of abogines pitted against forty thousand of the descendants of American Negroes. The former *representing heathenism.* paganism and mohammedanism, the latter representing civilization and Christianity. "The comparison is appalling; nevertheless, the Liberans have succeeded in spite of these opposing forces to maintain the Christian religion, and to conform to the habits and customs of a civilized people." The world today recognizes Liberia as a Christian nation. The Christian Sabbath is strictly observed, its Bible is the standard of faith and practice. The home is the unit of their society, and theygamy among the civilized population isbidden by law. A similar example of their struggle I do not think can be found. "But you ask, What can the colored people in the United States do to assist in saving Liberia?" Much. I answer. Liberia is saved, the colored people of the United States must take the initiative. If salvation comes, it must through the people of the United States. Under the circumstances, Liberia can look for aid from no other direction and the colored people of the United States must be the medium through which that aid must come. It may be that Providence has brought your fathers to this land, and has kept you here until you have become strong and powerful, in order that He might use you to see your brethren in this signal way. You must shirk the responsibility. No argument is currently potent, no matter by who made it, can release the race in the United States its responsibility and obligation in Liberia. The reputation of the race is bound up with the success of that experiment in government on the West Coast of Africa. Its success emphasizes the capacity of the race for the management and conduct of a great enterprise, and its failure in like manner furnishes occasion for offensive criticism. Should Get Behind Movement Outlined by Washington. "If the leaders of the race would get behind a movement such as outlined by Dr Booker T. Washington, which appeared some time ago in the column the New York Independent, and more recently in THE NEW YORK AGE, they would arouse such a wave of influence as would turn public attention to Liberia that would no doubt incline Congress to regard with favor any remedial measure proposed by those who have the authority to do so, as the result of the visit of the American Commission to Liberia "I would be derect in my duty if I allowed this public occasion to pass in the Capitol of the nation without paying a deserved and worthy tribute to the men generally, who compounded that effort for the work they did and the mannequin and spirit which they did. And I know that you will be the pride which prompts me to mention in a particular sense, Commissioner Emmet J. Scott, whose connection with the Commission was a benediction to the Liberians and an inspiration to the Negro race throughout the world. His life during that delicate mission reflected not only the power of our democratic institution but brought credit upon the power that appointed him "We will have to wait upon the future, not to reward, but to reveal the part taken by Dr. Booker T. Washington in this effort to save Liberia. His unselfish devotion in the interest of these people, long before and since the appointment of the Commission, must be known in order to be admired and appreciated. He has done much at great osmosis sacrifice and expense, to stimulate public Liberia and to bring about a condition which appears favorable to the preservation of the independence of the little Republic; and in view of this fact, I ask you gentlemen to raise your glasses, and in this innocent beverage water, drink with me to the health of Dr Booker T Washington." Congo Horrors Told at Y. M. C. A. The month of November was one of the best the association has had for some time. Among some of the activities were the week's preaching of Dr Walker, of Augusta, Ga, to the young men; the opening up of a large class of young men for the civil service course, the initiation for the first time of the Star Entertainment courses of the opening of the Literary Society and the annual summer meetings. The statistics show that 40 young men applied for lodgings confessed Christianity. 4, attendance at Bible class, 62, attendance at reception 225, attendance at evangelistic services 924; attendance at Sunday afternoon meetings, 725, books read from library, 6, applications for employment, 47, applications from employers, 44, situations secured, 22, total daily attendance at rooms, 6749.

Mr. Phipps was for eleven years a missionary in the Congo, and before brought first-hand information His audience held the close attention of the audience from beginning to end. Among other things, he said. "The story of the Congo is one of sorrow, one of sympathy, one which has aroused the attention of the civilized world. I can scarcely refrain from tears while relating it. I once saw an officer bringing in a prisoner in shackles. Before the poor fellow was put in prison he was given twenty five lashes with a hippolash because he had struck a white man who had beaten him. For four days this beating was repeated. I have seen hundreds of men chained together, being carried to the camp to make soldiers of them. I have seen men die of hunger and thirst, and were forbidden to give them a mouthful of sorrow or to drink of hunger and thirst. I had rather been an Israelite in Egypt in the time of Moses than to be an African to-day in the Congo. I once saw a pile of mada being dried by the fire to carry to the camp to show that every bullet had represented the death of a man or a woman, who had failed to bring in rubber enough to satisfy the demands. God hasten the day when we shall have a new Congo in the place of the one now soaking in the blood of the poor natives."

WASHINGTON, November 23—While reiterating his oft-expressed belief that the United States should attempt a national expedition into Antarctic regions, Commander Robert E. Peary to-night declared that because of the fact that Commander Robert F. Scott, of the Brit is army, is working on a South Pole mission, he should be improper to attempt to uthorize his route or the regions in which he is to travel. Therefore, he said, he has given the man no further thought since his return from the north, when he stated that his field work was at an end Commander Peary repudiated the announcement printed in several newspapers that within five years he would head an expedition to seek the South Pole under the auspices of the Peary Arctic Club, and dictated the following: "That statement is erroneous. In May, 1908, I sent a brief announcement through the medium of the International Polar Commission at Brussels saying that on my return from this expedition I hoped to organize an expedition that should secure for this country its share of honor and scientific material yet to be obtained in the Antarctic regions. I noted in that announcement also that President Roosevelt was interested in the general proposition and approved of it." When I came back from this present expedition to the North I stated explicitly that my field work, both in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, was at an end, but that I should be very glad to assist in any way possible in the promotion or organization of further work in those regions. "In view of the fact that Commander Scott is working on an expedition for the attainment of the South Pole, any attempt to utilize his route or the regions in which he is to work would be entirely improper to attempt "I still believe that this country ought to attempt a national expedition into the Arctic regions, but under existing conditions, I have given further thought since my return. The heavy Arctic Club has not been approached or sounded in regard to the matter" GAROLINA INSURANCE COMPANY. Powerware Balances Block—General Carrier DURHAM, N.

It started in the early portion of 1904 and in the five years of its business has written 40,000 policies and has from time to time greatly improved the colony in which it works by intelligent dealing in real estate.

TOUR THROUGH TENNESSEE masses of the negroes is, what progress they are making, and if possible, to say a word wherever I can that will result in making them more progressive and more helpful to themselves and their white neighbors. Wherever I get an opportunity, as in this case, I like to see for myself what the actual relations between the white and black people are. "We both races in the south have suffered much reasons of the fact that the worst that occurs in the south is spread speedily in all parts of the world, while the best things which are constantly occurring in each community are seldom known outside of the community I was born in the south, has always lived in the south, and intend for all time to make this my home. There is no spot that I love so much as I do this southland. "Here in the south my race has an opportunity that it does not have in an equal degree in any other part of the world. It has been my privilege to travel in nearly every portion of America, and I have inspected the condition of the working class of people in the old countries of Europe, but nowhere have I found conditions more hopeful and encouraging for a working class of people than I find for a right here in the heart of the south. "I want to urge every colored man to get to the point where he will settle down and become a deterent, a permanent and useful part of some community. A shiftless, roving, unemployed Negro is of no value to himself and is a disgrace to our race. "In the matter of labor, our race has an advantage in the south which I sometimes fear it does not rightly appreciate. In the old countries of Europe and in many of the large cities of the north, people for a large part of the year are without work, they walk the streets day by day, seeking employment and cannot find it. In our case, no Negro who wants to find work need go without it. On the other hand, in most cases, instead of the black man having to seek labor, labor seeks him. And then here in the south the Negro is not shut out, as in many other parts of the country, from skilled labor. In many countries of the world people who have the same degree of civilization work when they can only get from 15 to 20 cents a day for their labor. In every part of the southland we get many times that much money per day for our labor The Word of a Negro Should Be Mads Good. "But we must not be content as a race of people to merely occupy a hold of labor because no one can be secured at present to take our place. We want to see to it that whatever service we engage in, whether farming, mechanical work, cooking, table serving, laudering or not, it should be done so well that people who employ us will feel that they cannot dispense with our service. We must make ourselves actually wanted in every community, not merely tolerated "In some parts of the country, as laborers, our people have a weakness for not keeping their word, for not being depended upon to report for labor promptly. To be more exact, employers too often feel that the Negro may be at the place of work only a few days out in a six days in the week. This reputation even our entire race. From the beginning every and girl should be taught in school or else the dignity of labor, should be taught that we no digrace to do any kind of work the hands; should be taught that working in the field or in the shop or in the kitchen is just as honorable as teaching school or preaching the gospel "Along by the side of proper methods of work, I should put the importance of our laboring how to save our money after we have earned it. I advise each one to whom I speak to start a bank account as soon as possible. If this bank account is paid with only a few cents or a few dollars, money in the bank and add to it week by week, month by month. A bank account will help turn an inefficient, lary individual into an indistinct and prosperous individual. The innerm bank account a man gets, the harder he will work in order to make it still larger. I have in a portion of the south where the best way to do the are not ready and anxious to encourage me to save money, to buy property, to settle down and lead straightforward honest days." "We must use our influence to get rid of the idle, vicious element of our race. Wherever racial friction occurs, wherever are outbreaks, mobs and lynchings, in most cases this trouble arises in a fact that there is a large element of idle in who is in idleness on the street, who does not earn his daily bread, is not only a disgrace to our people, but a financial burden upon the community. In a country like this, there is no need why any man or woman need live in idleness. Immoral Leaders Must Be Gotten Rid Of "We must learn to set a high moral standard for our people and see that it is lived up to. Every immoral preacher, every immoral teacher, every immoral leader of any character should be gotten rid of, and we must fet the world know that we no longer mix up in a miscellaneous way the moral and the immoral are going to live together here in the black people and white people. We can do it separately socially, and we are going to be sensible Negro desires to have social intermingling with the white people of the south. What the Negro is most interested in is to be sure that his life, liberty and property are protected by the officers of the law, if he is punished by the same court and in the same manner that the white man is punished, for example, he fails to pay taxes, when he could murder or when he steals, we should be punished the same time that in his south the Negro opportunity to prepare himself to that he will know what the law is. This can only be done through some process of education There are some directions in which no color line can be drawn, hith draws no color line. If a Negro, by reason of his ignorance of the laws of health, carries about his body the germs of consumption, of smallpox, of the disease known as the hookworm, these germs will spread from his body to that of the white people by whose side he lives. Negro women prepare and serve the clothes of the white people. Negroes launder the clothes of the white people, negro women wear clothes of the white people. In a word, Negroes touch the white man at almost equal point in his life. If the Negro isignant as to the laws of health, she can communicate to the white man's family through her unwashed hands, or unwashed body, or the most deadly germs can be taken to the house of the white man by reason of the filth of the cabin in which the white man's clothes are laundered "The Negro needs encouragement from the white man as well as condemnation. If a Negro woman employed as cook reports for duty on time, keeps her kitchen clean, cooks a good meal, it is but right she should be praised, that her will encourage other people to know about it, and this will encourage other people to follow the same example; but if all Negroes are condemned, as is sometimes as being worthless, even the best class of Negroes sometime grow discouraged when they feel that the whole race is condemned without discriminating between the good and the bad."

J., the colored citizens are in high spirits over their recent victory in which "The Clansman" was the chief subject of controversy. Mayor Ellis is the hero of the hour, and if his future career depended solely on his popularity with the colored voters of Camden the time would not be far distant when he could enjoy the distinction of writing after his name the title. "Governor of New Jersey." The press agent of "The Clansman" managed to get some valuable advertising in Camden because the colored citizens public protested, against the authorities permitting the show to be produced in that city. However, it was a bitter pill for the publicity promoter to swallow, when he learned that he had been beaten at his own game, the mayor decreeing that not a performance of Dixon's play could be given in Camden. When the colored people of Camden bequeathed that "The Clansman" was booked to appear at the Camden Theater a delegation was appointed to visit the mayor and ask that the show be kept out of town. City Counsellor. Bleakley was commanded and a decision was given that the mayor had the power to interfere in matters, whereupon Mayor Ellis sent a letter to the manager of the theater instructing him not to allow the production of "The Clansman" at the Camden Theater, which order was obeyed to the chagrin of the members of the show, but to the delight of the color citizens. Producers Company Liable for Damages In the Appellate Division of the Superior Court, Brooklyn, a few days ago, a collection of no little legal importance was laid down, in which the court ordered the producing company, playing a percentage basis at a theater, to allow for damages for injuries sustained while the attraction is at the place where the accident occurred. The decision was rendered in a case against Mrs. Clare F. Thomas, of New York, against John H Springer, manager of the Grand Opera House, Twenthe Street and Eighth avenue, for the images for injuries received years ago. On Thanksgiving Eve, 1906, the John B Fisher Company was producing at the Grand Opera House the show, Milly, which was afterwards staged in Knight for a Day." And Thomas was sitting in the third row of the balcony. On the front balcony, the actress, Mary was a spotlight on which was operated by the actress John C. Fisher Company. Shortly before the last curtain, while John Scribner "was singing "Whistle Whistle You Go Out," the spotlight operator dropped a red gelatinous lantern and weighing four ounces. The ladder on Mrs. Thomas' head. She went into hysterics and later be- gined imagine that the second balcony was falling on her. Her injuries de- veloped into nervous paralysis, which trained in one of her eyes becoming crazy and one leg becoming paralyzed and her health otherwise impaired. In the lower court a verdict was found in favor of Mrs. Thomas, who was awarded $10,000 damages against Manager Springer. However, the App- pellate Division reserved the findings of the lower court, and in its opinion said: "The contract of the Fischer Company was to present a play in the defendant's theater for a stip- ulated percentage of the gross re- ceipts, and it seems to me that the contract is precisely as though the compensation had been fixed at a definite sum. "Here the Fischer Company was to receive a percentage of the gross receipts, not as its share of profits, as such for its contribution to a joint enterprise, but as a compensation for presenting a play on the defendant's theater. It is quite true, as the respondent contends, that the contract did not create the relation of landlord and tenant. The defendant retains possession and control of the theater, but the Fischer Company was an independent contractor, not a co-partner, and its servants were not his servants. "No doubt, the defendant would be liable to the plaintiff for his own negligence, for his own breach of duty to her, but he cannot be held liable for the negligence of another except upon the application of the maxim respondent superior; and as we have seen, that may only be applied where the relation of master and servant exists, or where the defendant is estopped to deny that it exists." Colored Theatregoers Badly Treated in Birmingham. An incident occurred in Birmingham, Ala., a few weeks ago that has ruffled the good humor of the colored theater-goers of that city and has occasioned considerable talk of the colored citizens declaring a boycott against a number of theaters in that city. The Jefferson Theater seems to have incurred the displeasure of the colored patrons more so than any of the other playhouses, as it was there that several colored patrons were forced to give up their seats in the second gallery, known in Birmingham as the "buzzard's roost," to a delegation of boisterous whites. Many of the best Negroes of Birmingham had assembled on the date in question to witness a production that had been widely advertised. In Birmingham the only seats allotted to the colored patrons are in the "buzzard's roost," where they were comfortably ensconced when interrupted by a party of whites. When some of the whites reached the theater after the show had started they found all the seats taken on the first doors and planned to thrade the "buzzard roost" and evict as many of the colored scatholders as necessary. They rushed upstairs and ordered a number of Negroes to leave their seats, which included this generally observed.

DAVIS Appearing with "Mr. Lode of Koal" Company. In every race loving teacher in this district, if any capacity, to do stamp out this evil race's history." THE SHOWS ARE. OF KOAL—Majestic Work City. OON—Globe Theatre; Vaudeville at Palace Hall Theatre. The large audience seemed to enjoy the vaudeville bill at the Palace Hall Theatre last Sunday evening. Fred Donivan was entertaining in impersonations, and Papton and Wilson, the Alpha Comedy Four, Henri Strange, Black Carl, the Kentucky Kids and J. G. Russell were pleasing in their work. Must be Eighteen Years Old to Work in Chorus. Here is a word of advice to all chorus girls who have fallen into the habit of giving their age as sweet sixteen. Don't go to Cincinnati and look as young as you claim you are, for you will get into trouble with the Juvenile Court. Tuesday the court sent out a statement that you must be at least eighteen years old to cavort about the stage and look charming in that city. Maude Campbell, a member of the "Little Nemo" Company, was the first to raise the age issue. She did not seem to impress the juvenile officer that she was not out of the infantile class, who, approaching her, asked: "How old are you?" "Never mind," came the answer, but it ranged pretty close to the summer-heat mark on the age thermometer. Finally the official gaze rested on the tiny form and infantile features of Miss Lincoln, of the chorus "Do your parents know you are on the stage?" he demanded in terrifying tones. "Well, I hope so." came the matter-of-fact reply. "They are taking care of my baby boy while I am on the read." Femalal services were held over the remaining of the late Harry Franklin Bradford who died last night in New York City after a brief illness from Church of St. Benedict, the Moor, Father O'Keefe officiating. The funeral was in charge of the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association. Nearly seventy members assembled and marched from the undertaking rooms to the church to pay their last respects to one who during life had shown great interest in the progress of the association. The active palpbarers were: Bob Slater, John Vaughner, Tom Lemonier, Black Carl Joe Britton. John Jones and Frank Carlo. After the services at the church the body was shipped to Meneapolis, the home of the deceased's mother, Mrs A. B. Howard, for interment. Harry Franklin Bradford was born in St Louis twenty-nine years ago. He was well known in vaudeville, and in recent years appeared with his widow, Mrs. Allison Bradford, under the name theatrical work. In connection with his theatrical work, he served in the capacity of Eastern representative for the Freeman. Although the laws of the Colored Vaudeville Association prescribe that no member in the association is eligible to the death benefits for several months so EDITED BY test was made to the manager of the Jefferson Theater, but to no avail, and those who gave up their seats either stood throughout the performance or left the house. In speaking of the incident, the Birmingham Reporter recently said: "Now, what will become of the foolish set of men and women who would stand such an outrage against a civilized people, when the same conditions will not materialize anything but an evil effect of both civil, moral and every other disgraceful feature of the race's progress. "A race without self-respect is not fit to have the honor of associating with other races who wear the honor of civilized Americans. If the Negro will accept conditions that they do not absolutely need, will they do when things come to their hands where they are compelled to protect their interests. Any man or woman who will not resent an insult handed him at these undesirable theaters, we are forced to believe that they fail to be the real man and woman of human ideas, but a crazy form of human existence. Now, this theater and other similar ones should be let alone by the colored people. This outrage of theatergoing is damaging, the race morally, financially and civilly. We appeal to every race loving man, every preacher in this district, every leader of any capacity, to do your duty and stamp out this evil effect of the race's history." MR.

IN THE WORLD OF SPORT Langford Hit Schreck Twice; Police Stopped Fight. Tuesday evening in Pittsburgh Sam Langford hit Mike Schreck twice in less than a minute of fighting and the white man was in such a bad shape that the police authorities ordered Referee Tenor J. Hunt to be bolt. Schreck had just tottered to his feet after the second knock-down, and Langford was polishing for the final knock-down when the fight was stopped. The 2,500 persons who had paid $5. $3 and $2 to see this mill were so enraged that it was with great difficulty thus Schreck was permitted to reach his dressing room without being hit with a chair. Schreck came into the ring weighing at least 200 pounds, the minute Negro was in the minute Langford lost no time in preliminaries. He reached for the stomach with his left then whipped his right to the chin, dropping the fat man like a log. Schreck came to his feet with some labor and managed to clinch a few times, while Langford did some murderous infighting. Before the minute was ended Langford once more reached the panouch with the finger crossed his right to the jaw. This ended it. Schreck got up at the count of nine, but could hardly stand, and to save a knock-out the battle was stopped. Alpha Indoor Season.

Instituted Proceedings Against Buil- means College Because She was not a student. --- The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court has decided against Cora Powell, who brought suit for damages against the Heffley School on Ryerson street, Brooklyn, because she was refused admission to that institution on account of her color. The action was brought by the Civil Rights bill, in 1898, which provides a list of people of all races must be admitted to places of public accommodation. When Miss Powell applied for admission and was refused, on account of her race and color, she brought action for $500 damages. Had she been successful in this suit, she would have been able to institute criminal proceedings, and a conviction would have meant imminent trial. Lawyer Alvan R. Johnson, who claimed that the Heffley School was not a place of public accommodation, and therefore did not come within the provisions of the act of the Legislature granting equal privileges to all citizens, it was tried before Justice Wart W, who rendered a judgment in favor of Cora Powell in her court to the Appellate Division, which has just affirmed the decision of the lower court. At the school to-day it was said that Cora Powell applied for admission to the school a year ago last spring, and was refused admission. The suit of the girl was started the following August.
